20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -1 -110

Bet the Suns (-1) as a slim road favorite against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. This to me is a great spot to jump on Phoenix after they were embarrassed on nationally TV in Wednesday's 98-125 loss at home to the Celtics. Suns got Chris Paul back from injury in that game and should be poised to take off with him back in the lineup. Pelicans are a really good team, but they are down two starters right now with Herb Jones and Brandon Ingram both sidelined. Play the Suns -1! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pistons vs Grizzlies under 227½ -105

Bet the UNDER (227.5) in Friday's NBA action between the Grizzlies and Pistons. I just don't see these two teams approaching 230 points. You need both teams to put up big numbers to reach a total like this and I just have a hard time seeing the Pistons doing their part. Detroit is just 3-12 SU on the road this season, scoring just 109 ppg on 44% shooting away from home. Memphis is only allowing 106.8 ppg at home and are giving up just 105.0 ppg on 42% shooting in their last 5 games. UNDER is 14-3 in Memphis' last 17 at home after 3 or more consecutive wins and a perfect 8-0 in their last 8 after winning 4/5 of their last 6 games. Play the UNDER 227.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Magic +8 -110

Bet the Magic (+8) as a decently priced home dog against the Raptors in Friday's NBA action. This is a good price to back Orlando at home. Magic are way undervalued right now, as they have gone just 1-9 SU in their last 10 games. They were able to snap a 9-game skid with a 116-111 win at home against the Clippers on Wednesday as a 6.5-point dog. Magic have covered 2 straight overall and are 3-1-1 ATS last 5 off a SU win. Toronto is just 2-6 ATS last 8 vs a team with a losing record and 1-6 ATS last 7 on the road. Play the Magic +8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors vs Jazz under 239 -110

Bet the UNDER (239) in Wednesday's NBA action between the Jazz and Warriors. There's going to be plenty of offense in this matchup, but the number here is simply too high. I don't see these two getting into the 240s. Not with Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins all expected to not play in this game. UNDER has cashed in 3 straight games for the Warriors and is 5-1 in their last 6 off a loss. Play the UNDER 239! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +5½ -115

Bet the Pacers (+5.5) as a small road dog against the Jazz in Friday's NBA action. Utah comes in off a 125-112 win over the Clippers and Indiana enters off a 114-137 blowout loss to the Kings. Don't let those results fool you. Pacers have been playing the much better basketball of late. Indiana is 11-5 SU and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games. The Jazz are 3-8 SU and 4-7 ATS in their last 11. This to me should be closer to a pick'em. Play the Pacers +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks -4½ -105

Bet the Knicks (-4.5) as a short road favorite against the Pistons in Tuesday's NBA action. This just feels like a good buy low spot on New York, who comes in having lost their last 2 and are just 1-4 SU and ATS over their last 5 games. It's not like these have been horrible losses. The first two defeats came on the road against the Warriors and Suns. The last two have come at home to the Blazers and Grizzlies by a combined 7 points. I like the Knicks to get right here and make easy work of a bad Detroit team. Play New York -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -6½ -115

Bet the Suns (-6.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Lakers in Tuesday's NBA action. Easy play here on Phoenix. LA is simply getting too much respect due to having won and covered 3 straight. I'm not buying this team has figured out anything. Two of those wins were against the Pistons and Spurs. The other was against a dead tired Nets team playing on no rest. Suns just have too much fire-power for the Lakers to keep this respectable. Play Phoenix -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -4½ -115

Bet the Pacers (-4.5) as a road favorite against the Rockets in Friday's NBA action. Easy play here on Indiana, who has been an absolute money-maker of late. The Pacers are 6-2 SU and a perfect 8-0 ATS over their last 8 games. They are taking on a Houston team that is just 3-12 to start the new season. Rockets are off a big road win over the Mavs, but that was an awful spot for Dallas. Look for Indiana to make easy work of Houston in this one. Play the Pacers -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +10½ -115

Bet the Rockets (+10.5) as a big double-digit road dog against the Mavericks in Wednesday's NBA action. I like Houston to keep this within the number, as this feels like a great spot to fade Dallas. The Mavs will be on no rest after a game last night against the Clippers. A crazy game where they got up big and then had to hold on for dear life to pull out a 103-101 win. It's also their 3rd game in 4 nights and 5th in the last 7. Play the Rockets +10.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +8½ -110

Bet the Spurs (+8.5) as a big road dog against the Blazers in Tuesday's NBA action. Most are going to want nothing to do with San Antonio in this spot. The Spurs are playing on no rest after an ugly 95-132 loss at Golden State last night. They are also facing a Blazers team that has been absolute covering machines to start the year. Portland has covered 4 straight and are 10-2 ATS on the year. I think it all adds up to the Blazers laying a few too many in this one. Play the Spurs +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings -1½ -115

Bet the Kings (-1.5) as a slim home favorite against the Nets in Tuesday's NBA action. While Brooklyn has been playing better since firing Nash and suspending Kyrie, they appeared to run out of gas in Sunday's 103-116 loss at the Lakers. I don't think 1-day off is going to be enough for this team to refuel, as this will still be their 3rd road game in 4 nights. They are also facing a red-hot Kings team that has won 3 straight and 6 of 8 overall. Sacramento is 7-1 ATS during this stretch. Play the Kings -1.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings -2½ -110

Bet the Kings (-2.5) as a short road favorite against the Lakers in Friday's NBA action. Easy play here on Sacramento. LA has looked awful over the first couple weeks of the season and now have to figure out how to stay competitive with LeBron sidelined with a groin injury. Kings may come in with a 4-6 record, but they are 4-2 in their last 6 games with both losses coming on the road by a mere 3-points. Sacramento should be a much bigger favorite in this spot. Play the Kings -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +5½ -115

Bet the Timberwolves (+5.5) as a road dog against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. It's been a rough go for Minnesota of late, as they have lost 5 of their last 6, going just 1-5 ATS during this stretch. I believe it's got the Grizzlies laying a few too many in this one. Memphis has also been overrated coming into this season, as they are just 4-6 ATS. Play the Timberwolves +5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets vs Raptors over 223½ -110

Bet the OVER (223.5) in Wednesday's NBA action between the Raptors and Rockets. I don't see these two teams having any problem getting into the 230's, as I think there's a really good chance we see Toronto hit 130 points on their own. Houston has allowed 4 of their last 6 opponents to hit at least 124 points. If Toronto can simply hit that mark, we would just need Houston to break 100, which they have done in all but one game all season. Play the OVER 223.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers vs Hornets under 221½ -105

Bet the UNDER (221.5) in Wednesday's NBA action between the Hornets and Blazers. UNDER has gone 25-14 in the Blazers last 39 games vs a team with a losing record and 16-6 in the Hornets last 22 at home vs a team with a winning record. UNDER is also 11-2 in Charlotte's last 13 at home vs teams who are shooting 36% or better from the field. This is also a Hornets team that is struggling to find their offense, averaging just 97.8 ppg and 41.3% shooting over their last 5 games. UNDER is 6-1 in Charlotte's last 7 overall. Play the UNDER 221.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +7 -115

Bet the Magic (+7) as a home dog against the Mavericks in Wednesday's NBA action. I just think this is a few too many for Dallas to be laying in this spot, as I see the Mavs having a hard time getting up for this matchup. Orlando on the other hand has been playing a little better of late covering 2 of their last 3 games. The Magic have also lost just 2 games all season by more than 10-points with the largest loss coming by 13. This team fights more than they get credit for and I think they could easily be the more motivated team in this one. Play Orlando +7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -2 -110

Bet the Celtics (-2) as a short road favorite against the Grizzlies in Monday's NBA action. Boston is starting to get things figured out, as they have won 3 of their last 4. The offense has really come to life during this stretch as they are scoring 120.8 ppg over their last 5. Memphis is 6-3, but have played a really easy schedule to this point. Their 6 wins are against the Knicks, Rockets, Nets, Kings, Blazers and Hornets. The one big test they had was a road game at Dallas and they got destroyed in that game, losing 96-137. Look for Boston to take control of this game early and cruise to an easy win and cover. Play the Celtics -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +2 -110

Bet the Thunder (+2) as a small road dog against the Pistons in Monday's NBA action. Good spot here to jump on OKC, who comes in off back-to-back double-digit losses to the Nuggets and Bucks. Those are both two of the better teams in the league. Prior to those two losses, the Thunder had won 4 straight and covered 6 of 7. Detroit has gone just 1-8 SU since beating the Magic on opening night. Pistons are one of the worst shooting teams in the league, hitting on just 42.7% of their attempts. They also aren't getting it done defensively, allowing opponents on average to shoot 49% from the field. Play the Thunder +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -7½ -110

Bet the Grizzlies (-7.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Wizards in Sunday's NBA action. Easy play on Memphis at home in this one. Grizzlies are 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS at home this year. The only non-cover coming in a game where they beat the Knicks by just 3 as a 4-point favorite after blowing a huge lead. Washington is also not playing good basketball right now. Wizards are just 1-4 SU and 1-4 ATS over their last 5 games. Most recently losing 86-128 at home to Brooklyn. Play Memphis -7.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +10½ -110

Bet the Blazers (+10.5) as a big road dog against the Suns in Friday's NBA action. This to me is a good spot to bet against Phoenix. There's certainly a tax being put on the Suns right now, as they come in being such a public team and have won and covered in each of their last 5 games. Not saying they won't win, but I like Portland to keep it close. While the Blazers are down one of their best players in Lillard, Portland has some other dudes on this team and play hard. Given these two teams turn around and play each other again in Phoenix on Saturday, this is one I think Phoenix will have a tough time getting up. Play the Blazers +10.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +8½ -110

Bet the Bulls (+8.5) as a big road dog against the Celtics in Friday's NBA actin. This to me is just too many points for Chicago to be catching. Boston is simply not playing up to expectations right now. Celtics are just 1-3 SU and 1-4 ATS. All 3 of those outright losses have come as a favorite. Chicago has also shown they are not overmatched in this matchup, as they beat up on the Celtics 120-102 at home earlier this season. Play the Bulls +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies -3½ -110

Bet the Grizzlies (-3.5) as a short road favorite against the Blazers. I just don't trust Portland to be able to sustain their early season success with Lillard sidelined. Blazers are 5-1 SU and 5-1 ATS thru their first 6 games, having just won and covered without Lillard against a bad Rockets team. This also feels like a good buy-low spot on Memphis, who is coming off back-to-back road losses at the Jazz as a favorite. Play the Grizzlies -3.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks vs Knicks over 228½ -110

Bet the OVER (228.5) in Wednesday's NBA action between the Hawks and Knicks. New York has gotten a reputation as this great defensive team under Thibs, but they have been playing in shootouts so far this season. The average combined score in Knicks' games is 232.5 and that jumps to 239.3 when NY plays at home. Atlanta has seen an average combined score of 232.9 on the season and 241.2 in road games. Play the OVER 228.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves +5 -110

Bet the Timberwolves (+5) as a short road dog against the Suns in Tuesday's NBA action. Good time to sell high on Phoenix, who comes in having won and covered in 4 straight. Phoenix just lost big man Deandre Ayton to an injury. While they were able to win without him in their last game at Houston, his absence is going to be felt a lot more against a talented Minnesota team, who has one of the best big men in the game in Rudy Gobert. This is the best defense Phoenix will have faced all season and one that can really get after the 3-point shooters, knowing that they have Gobert to protect the rim. Opponents have only made 30.9% of their 3-point attempts against Minnesota in road games this year. Play the Timberwolves +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -8 -107

Bet the Nets (+8) as a big home favorite against the Pacers. Brooklyn will be out for revenge, as these two teams played in Brooklyn on Saturday. Indiana was an 11-point dog and won outright 125-116. I still think the Nets should be a double-digit favorite in this matchup. Pacers lived on the 3-pointer in that game. They shot just 42.6% from the field, yet were 23-46 (50%) from behind the 3-point line. Indiana just isn't a good enough team to take a quality opponents best shot an keep it close. Play the Nets -8! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +6 -110

Bet the Rockets (+6) as a decently priced road against the Blazers in Friday's NBA action. Portland is getting way too much respect here with star point guard Damian Lillard sidelined with a calf injury. Keep in mind Portland is also still without one of their big offseason additions in Gary Payton II. Houston is going to be a bottom feeder, but they are playing hard to start the season and are better than their 1-4 record would suggest. Not saying the Rockets will win this game, but I like them to keep it close right to the finish. Play Houston +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +2½ -110

Bet the Nets (+2.5) as a short home dog against the Mavs in Thursday's NBA action. It's been a bad start to the 2022-23 season for Brooklyn. The Nets are just 1-3 and fresh off a 99-110 loss at Milwaukee last night. No one is going to give Brooklyn any shot at winning on no rest against a Mavs team that has looked good early on. Thing with Dallas, is despite how good they look, they are just 1-2 SU overall and 0-2 SU on the road. Last time out the Mavs allowed a Pelicans team that was down three starters in Zion Williamson, Brandon Ingram and Herb Jones to shoot 58% from the field. I like the Nets to get right and show up with a big effort here as a home dog. Play Brooklyn +2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6 -110

Bet the Jazz (-6) to cover as home favorites against the Rockets in Wednesday's NBA action. Big revenge spot here for Utah, as these two teams just played in Houston on Monday, which the Rockets were able to prevail 114-108 for their first win of the season. It was also Utah's first loss of the season as they came in 3-0. The big thing to note with that outcome, is the Jazz were in an awful scheduling spot, playing on no rest after a grueling 122-121 OT win at New Orleans the night before. Look for Utah to win here going away. Play the Jazz -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bulls -7½ -105

Bet the Bulls (-7.5) to cover the number as a decently priced home favorite against the Pacers in Wednesday's NBA action. Easy play on Chicago at home against a bad Indiana team. The Pacers are 1-3 with their only win coming at home against a struggling Pistons team. Indiana just isn't playing good enough defensively to compete with a team like the Bulls on the road. The Pacers have allowed at least 114 points in each of their first 4 games, are giving up 121.5 ppg on the season and rank 28th in the league in defensive efficiency. Play the Bulls -7.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Magic +8½ -115

Bet the Magic (+8.5) to cover as a decently priced dog on the road against the Cavaliers in Wednesday's NBA action. Good spot to buy low on Orlando, who comes into this game winless at 0-4. Magic have been more competitive than their record would suggest, as they are only losing by 8.3 ppg. Orlando should be highly motivated to get that first win of the season, while the Cavs could be looking ahead to Friday's big showdown at Boston after back-to-back double-digit wins over the Bulls and Wizards. Look for the Magic to keep this closer than expected. Play Orlando +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards -5½ -105

Bet the Wizards (-5.5) to cover as home favorite against the Pistons in Tuesday's NBA action. Washington is a lot better than they get credit for. The Wizards are an OT loss at Cleveland from being 3-0. Detroit is 1-2 with their only win coming at home against the Magic by 4-points. Their two losses were by 24 at New York and by 9 at Indiana. Pistons have been awful offensively, ranking 25th in offensive efficiency. Washington has held each of their first 3 opponents under 43% shooting from the field and are currently 9th in the league in defensive efficiency. Play the Wizards -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -4 -110

Bet the Nuggets (-4) as a short road favorite against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. This is way too good a price to pass up on Denver, especially with Portland playing on no rest after yesterday's hard fought 106-104 win over the Lakers. All 5 starters played 30+ mins for the Blazers and they used a mere 9-man rotation. Denver had that shocking loss at Utah to open the season, but have won each of their last two, including that 128-123 upset win over the Warriors on Friday. Play the Nuggets -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -4½ -110

Bet the Celtics (-4.5) on the road against the Bulls in Monday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Boston. Chicago had that impressive road win over the Heat to open the season, but have since lost at Washington and at home by 32 to the Cavs. Bulls have shot just 42.2% from the field in their first 3 games, while allowing their opponents to shoot 51.4%. That's a recipe for disaster against this Celtics team. Boston has the most efficient offense in the NBA early on. I just don't see this version of the Bulls being able to keep this close. Play the Celtics -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -8½ -110

Bet the Warriors (-8.5) as a big home favorite against the Kings in Sunday's NBA action. Great spot here to jump on Golden State, as we should get a big time effort from the Warriors coming off their upset loss at home to the Nuggets on Friday. This is also a good spot to fade the Kings, who will be playing in the 2nd of a back-to-back after a hard fought 109-111 loss at home to the Clippers yesterday. Play the Warriors -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6½ -115

Bet the Hornets (+6.5) as a decently priced home dog against the Pelicans. Everyone is going to be looking to bet New Orleans after how good they looked in their blowout win at Brooklyn to open the season. No one is going to want anything to do with Charlotte, especially with LeMelo Ball out. I just don't see New Orleans being locked in after how easy it was in their win over the Nets. Look for Charlotte to hang around on their home court and maybe even win this game outright. Play the Hornets +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -3½ -105

Bet the 76ers (-3.5) at home against the Bucks in Thursday's NBA action. I like Philly to bounce back from Tuesday's ugly 2nd half against the Celtics. The 76ers to me are still one of the better teams in the East. I have to give them the edge at home against a Bucks team that is starting the year without Khris Middleton. I also think having played a game already gives Philly a bit of an edge in this one. The trio of Embiid, Harden and Maxey will be too much for Milwaukee to overcome. Play the 76ers -3.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +1½ -105

Bet the Spurs (+1.5) as a short home dog against the Hornets in Wednesday's NBA action. Perception is that San Antonio is tanking for the No. 1 pick. They might lack talent, but you have to believe they are going to compete to the best of their ability under Popovich. Charlotte will be without their best player in this game in LaMelo Ball. Preseason can't be taken to seriously, though it is worth noting that Charlotte didn't win a game (0-5). The offense was putrid in those 5 games, scoring just 98.8 ppg. Play the Spurs +1.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +6½ -115

Bet the Knicks (+6.5) as a road dog against the Grizzlies in Wednesday's NBA action. The books are begging you to lay the points with Memphis in this one. The Grizzlies were one of the biggest surprises of the the 2021-22 season. The Knicks were one of the biggest disappointments. No one will give New York much of a shot in this game. Keep in mind this game is being nationally televised on ESPN, which means it's going to be heavily bet. The books aren't stupid. There is reason to think the Knicks could revert back to the team from a couple of years ago. I like the addition of Brunson. Other big thing here is Memphis is starting the season without one of their best players in Jaren Jackson Jr. Play the Knicks +6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -9 -110

Bet the Hawks (-9) as a big home favorite against the Rockets. I got no problem laying the big number with Atlanta in their season opener. The Hawks had a disappointing season last year. Everyone was high on this team after their run to the Eastern Conference Finals the year before. Atlanta ended up finishing with the 8th best record in the East last year. They advanced out of the play-in portion, but would lose in 5 games in the 1st round to the Heat. I believe it has them coming into this season undervalued, as they made a monster splash by adding Dejounte Murray from the Spurs. The backcourt of Murray and Trae Young could prove to be lethal. Those two should have their way against a bad Rockets team and easily win this game by double-digits. Play the Hawks -9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Warriors under 227½ -110

Bet the UNDER (227.5) in Tuesday's Opening Night action in the NBA between the Lakers and Warriors. I think there's some big time value with the UNDER. Most are going to expect points in this one. Golden State can light up the scoreboard with the best of them. Lakers were an awful defensive team last year and offensively should be better with a healthy LeBron and AD. People overlook how good the Warriors have been defensively. The Lakers may have their dynamic duo, but the rest of the rotation leaves a lot to be desired offensively. I also think that LA is going to be a much improved defensive team. I also think LA is going to try and keep this from being a game played in transition. Play the UNDER 227.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cavs -1 -110

*All NBA Preseason picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models*

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics vs Heat under 196 -110

The UNDER (196) is worth a look in Sunday's Game 7 between the Celtics and Heat. UNDER is always a strong play in Game 7 of a series. These two had gone UNDER the total in both Game 4 and Game 5, before both teams shot the ball well and got some huge performances from their stars in Game 6. I don't see Jimmy Butler going for close to 50 again and I expect Miami's defense to be better at home. Play the UNDER 196! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat vs Celtics under 201½ -110

The UNDER (201.5) is worth a look in Friday's Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Heat and Celtics. I feel like this total would be too much if these two teams were playing a Game 6 with fully healthy rosters. It's going to take a really really good shooting night for either of these teams to crack 100 points. A lot of that is because Miami has no choice but to try and slow up the game with their limitations offensively. Play the UNDER 201.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs +7½ -115

The Mavs (+7.5) are worth a look as a big road dog in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals. Dallas avided elimination with a 119-109 win at home in Game 4. A game that wasn't anywhere as close as the final score would indicate. That's now 2 times in 3 games the Mavs have built up a 20+ pt lead against the Warriors. Had they not blew that big lead in Game 2 at Golden State, people would view this series a lot differently. They also could have easily won Game 3 at home if they knock down a few more shots from deep (shot 13 of 45). Warriors might be the better team and will likely win this series, but I don't see the Mavs going down without a fight. Play Dallas +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -6½ -110

The Celtics (-6.5) are worth a look as a home favorite in Game 4 against the Heat. These two teams have alternated wins in the series and my money is on Boston to bounce back from an ugly loss at home in Game 3. Celtics more than anything beat themselves in Game 3, as they turned it over 23 times. It didn't help that Jason Tatum played about as poorly as he could, scoring just 10 points on 3 of 14 shooting. Look for Boston to be much more sharp with the basketball and for Tatum to return to form in Game 4. Also helps the Heat are potentially playing this game without two of their best players in Butler and Herro. Play the Celtics -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks vs Celtics under 208½ -110

The UNDER (208.5) is worth a look in Sunday's Game 7 between the Celtics and Bucks. Game 7s are historically low-scoring and should be. These two teams have played 6 games against each other. They know what each other are trying to do offensively and how they can best stop it. 4 of the 6 games in the series have gone UNDER, including Game 5, which saw just 203 points with both Tatum and Antetokounmpo going for 40+ points. Play the UNDER 208.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs +2 -110

The Mavs (+2) are worth a look as a slim home dog against the Suns in Game 6. The home team has won and covered all 5 games so far in the series. It's no surprise that Dallas is a different team at home compared to on the road, as they got a roster full of role players alongside Doncic. When those guys contribute, the Mavs are a scary team. I feel really good about Dallas sending this thing back to Phoenix for a Game 7. Give me the Mavs +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +3 -105

The Grizzlies (+3) are worth a look as a slim home dog in Game 5 of their Western Conference Semifinal matchup with the Warriors. Memphis isn't getting much love with Morant not expected to return anytime soon, but this is a team that has played extremely well this season when Morant has been sidelined. They really should have won Game 4 on the road without him. I see no reason they can't win here at home and avoid elimination. Play Memphis +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -5½ -115

The Suns (-5.5) are worth a look as home favorite in Game 5 of their Western Conference Semifinal matchup. Mavs surprised a lot of people by evening up this series, as the Suns looked like they might sweep after winning Game 1 121-114 and Game 2 129-109. It was just a different story for the "others" on Dallas at home. After doing next to nothing in Games 1 & 2, it felt like they couldn't miss. It also helped that Chris Paul played about as poorly as he can play in back-to-back games. Phoenix is still the better team and my money is not only on them to win but win here rather convincingly. Play the Suns -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Warriors -8½ -115

The Warriors (-8.5) are worth a look as a big home favorite in Game 4 against the Grizzlies in Monday's NBA action. Golden State is a different animal at home in the playoffs. They just won Game 3 142-112 and are now 4-0 at home in the playoffs having outscored their opponents by 70 points in those 4 games. I just don't think Memphis has a shot without Morant, who is doubtful to play. Morant had a game-high 34 in Game 3 and they still lost by 30. Play the Warriors -8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +3 -110

The Celtics (+3) are worth a look as a small road dog against the Bucks in Saturday's Game 3. Two very different games to start the series. Milwaukee dominated and won Game 1 101-89 and then Boston was in complete control in a 109-86 win in Game 2. I just have a lot more trust in this Celtics team. Bucks are still really good, but I just think not having Middleton hurts them more than people think, especially against a good defensive team like the Celtics. I know home court is huge in the playoffs, but I think there's value with Boston at this price. Play the Celtics +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat -1 -110

The Heat (-1) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the 76ers in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal matchup. Miami dominated Philly in each of the first 2 games on their home floor. 76ers just don't have a shot without Embiid and he's not expected to return for this one. So while teams usually get a boost playing at home, I don't think the number has been adjusted near enough for you do anything but bet the Heat. Play Miami -1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers vs Heat over 206½ -110

The OVER (206.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action between the Heat and 76ers. Game 1 finished UNDER the total with the two teams combing for 198 with a total of 208.5. I just think dropping the total 2 points off that game is a bit of an overreaction. Both teams shot a miserable 43% from the field in Game 1 and they almost got to 200 points with Philly only scoring 41 in the 2nd half. Play the OVER 206.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +2½ -110

The Grizzlies (+2.5) are worth a look as a short home dog against the Warriors in Game 1 of their 2nd Round matchup. Memphis had a harder time with Minnesota than most expected, which I feel has them way undervalued. Golden State is getting a lot of love, but they should not be a road favorite in this one. Just too much value here with Memphis to pass up. Play the Grizzlies +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers vs Raptors under 208½ -110

The UNDER (208.5) is worth a look in Game 6 between the Raptors and 76ers. These two teams have gone UNDER the total in each of the last 4 games in the series. With Embiid at less than 100%, Harden struggling to get going and Maxey regressing from his hot start, Philadelphia is a shell of what we would expect to see offensively. They managed just 88 points on 38% shooting on their home floor in Game 5. Raptors shot 51.2% from the field in Game 5 and still only scored 103 points. Even with Toronto at home in Game 6, I would expect a worse shooting night from them in this one. Play the UNDER 208.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -10½ -110

The Bucks (-10.5) are worth a look as a double-digit home favorite in Game 5 of their 1st round series against the Bulls. After losing Game 2 at home, Milwaukee has taken complete control of this series. The Bucks won 111-81 in Game 3 at Chicago and then 119-95 in Game 4. I see the Bucks being highly motivated to put this series to rest and I just don't think there's much the Bulls can do to keep that from happening. It's just a bad matchup for the Bulls. Give me the Bucks -10.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks +7½ -110

The Hawks (+7.5) are worth a look as a big road dog against the Heat in Game 5 of their 1st Round series. Good buy low spot on Atlanta after that awful showing at home in Game 4's 86-110 loss. Miami is now in complete cruise control up 3-1 with two of the next 3 at home. Hawks are going to be more desperate team and while they might now win, I like them to keep this one close. Give me the Hawks +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +2½ -110

The Celtics (+2.5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Nets in Game 4. Everyone just assumes the Nets are going to win because they are the team facing elimination, but the same was said in Game 3 and Boston won that. This is just a nightmare matchup for Brooklyn. Boston's defense has been able to take Durant and Irving completely out of their comfort zone and the Nets just don't have the depth behind their dynamic duo. Play the Celtics +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -2 -110

The Bucks (-2) are worth a look as a slim road favorite against the Bulls in Game 3 of their 1st Round series in the NBA Playoffs. Chicago was able to win Game 2 on the road to even the series at 1-1 and the big news is that Middleton will be out at least the rest of this series. It's a big loss, but not one that I think will keep them from winning this series. If anything, I think he has created value on Milwaukee in Game 3. Play the Bucks -2!

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6½ -105

The Jazz (-6.5) are worth a look as a home favorite against the Mavs in Game 3 of their 1st Round matchup on Thursday. There's a chance Luka returns for this game after missing the first two of the series. I think it's more likely they play it safe and he doesn't play. However, even if he does, there's probably going to be a minutes restriction. I also think Utah is just a different animal at home. Largely because they get a little more out of their offense to go with that stingy defense. I don't think this one is going to be close. Play the Jazz -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks +7½ -105

The Hawks (+7.5) are worth a look as a decently priced road dog in Game 2 of their 1st Round matchup with the Heat. Miami cruised to a 115-91 win in Game 1 as a 6.5-point favorite. The big thing you got to keep in mind with that outcome is that was a really tough spot for the Hawks. Atlanta had just played to elimination games in the play-in tournament in a span of just 3 days and had just 1 day off before playing the Heat (had to travel from Cleveland to Miami). I expect a much better showing from the Hawks in Game 2 and not out of the question that they could steal this one. Play Atlanta +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Mavs over 204½ -110

The OVER (204.5) is worth a look in Game 2 of Monday's Western Conference matchup between the Jazz and Mavericks. Game 1 was low scoring with the two teams combining for just 192. I just think we are going to see both of these teams shoot the ball a little better than they did in Game 1, especially from long distance. Utah was just 7 of 22 (31.8%) from deep and the Mavs at home were a mere 9 of 32 (28.1%). Play the OVER 204.5!
