11-15-21	Suns -3 v. Wolves		99-96	Push	0	10 h 55 m	Show
Phoenix. Best Bet play. Game 543. 5:10 pm pst. Phoenix is the hottest team in the NBA, riding an eight-game SU win streak. They’ve gotten us bettors paid as well, covering their last seven straight outings. Minnesota just doesn’t have the personnel to compete with the 3rd ranked scoring team in the league. Deandre Ayton (check status) isn’t expected to play. No worries. The Suns have six other players averaging double digits and are loaded up front. Bridges, McGee, Crowder, and Johnson are all getting significant playing time anyway. Phoenix is 4-1 ATS the last five games played with Minnesota and 4-0 ATS the last four games played as a road favorite. Minnesota is 1-6 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning record and 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog. Take the Suns. Thank you.
11-14-21	Warriors -4.5 v. Hornets		102-106	Loss	-113	8 h 27 m	Show
Golden State. Above The Rim. Game 519. 4:10 pm pst. The Warriors crushed the Hornets 114-92 less than two weeks ago. Golden State is on a seven-game hot streak both SU and ATS. The NBA’s top-scoring offense will once again shred the 30th ranked defense of Charlotte. The Warriors are 16-4-1 ATS the last 21 games played overall. The Hornets are 4-12-1 ATS the last 17 games played versus teams with a record above .600. Take Golden State. Thank you.
11-13-21	USC -6.5 v. Temple		76-71	Loss	-110	11 h 56 m	Show
USC. Vegas Insider. Game 647. 4:00 pm pst. One Mobley brother is now in the NBA. But the other is still residing in So Cal. Isaiah, along with Boogie Ellis lead a very talented team. Too much talent for the outclassed and overmatched Temple squad, which is still at least a year away from any true success. The Trojans are 16-7 ATS the last 23 games played as a road favorite and 4-1 ATS the last five games played overall. The Owls are 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home and 1-6 ATS the last seven games played following a SU win. Take USC. Thank you.
11-13-21	UCF +2.5 v. Miami-FL		95-89	Win	100	5 h 6 m	Show
UCF. Slam Dunk. Game 615. 10:00 am pst. Miami comes off a horrible season and lost one of the teams major contributors. There is talent here. However, the Hurricanes are a small team that will be going with a four-guard set. Central Florida has an extremely strong nucleus of Perry, Mahan, Green Jr., and Adams all back and so is the AAC’s top-defensive player, walker. Added to the mix is 6’11” transfer, Diong. This is a squad not affected by big name opponents or big game situations. Last year, Auburn, FSU, Cincinnati twice, Tulsa twice, USF, all ECU three times, all fell to the energetic squad. The road team is 4-0 ATS the last four meetings in this series. The Knights are 7-1 ATS the last eight games played following a SU win, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, and 6-2 ATS the last eight games played overall. The Hurricanes are 2-5 ATS the last seven games played following an ATS loss, 0-3-1 ATS the last four games played at home, and 0-5-1 ATS the last six games played as a favorite. Take UCF. Thank you.
11-12-21	Bucks v. Celtics +2.5		113-122	Win	100	10 h 20 m	Show
Boston. Vegas Insider Move. Game 560. 4:40 pm pst. Boston has covered five of the last six meetings with Milwaukee. The Bucks, which are playing their fourth consecutive game on the road, will be tired here. They come off a physical contest with the Knicks on Wednesday, almost letting a 24-point lead slip away. The Celtics are on a four-game cover streak and are quite a bit healthier than their adversary tonight. The Bucks minimal success this season is due to their three-point shooting. But the Celtics are one of the NBA’s best at defending the arc. Milwaukee is 3-8 ATS the last 11 games played at Boston. Boston is 21-9 ATS the last 30 games played as a home underdog. Take the Celtics. Thank you.
11-10-21	Mavs v. Bulls -3.5		107-117	Win	100	11 h 34 m	Show
Chicago. Vegas Insider Move. Game 538. 5:10 pm pst. Yes, Dallas is 7-3 SU. However, they are 3-7 ATS overall which includes a 1-3 ATS road mark. The Mavericks might have a good record but they have only beaten one team with a winning record in the Raptors which are 6-5. The combined record of the rest of the opponents they have bested is 17-45. They rank between 25th and 28th in every major offensive scoring category. Chicago is also 7-3 SU. But, is 7-3 ATS as well. This month alone, they have won and covered over such powerhouses as Utah and Brooklyn. The Bulls are scoring behind DeRozan, LeVine, Vucevic, and Ball. Defensively, they are giving opponents nightmares. Dallas is 0-3-1 ATS the last four meetings in this series, 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog, 1-8 ATS the last nine games played following a SU win, 1-4 ATS the last five games played on the road, and 3-9 ATS the last 12 games played overall. Take Chicago. Thank you.
11-09-21	Hawks v. Jazz -7.5		98-110	Win	100	13 h 32 m	Show
Utah. Above The Rim Play. Game 520. 6:10 pm pst. Atlanta comes in here tired following last night’s 127-113 beating at Golden State. That makes it the Hawks fourth consecutive loss and no cover. They are 0-9 ATS the last nine games played on the road which includes an 0-7 ATS away mark this season. Utah enters this matchup following their first back-to-back losses on the campaign. On both sides of the ball the Jazz are far superior and will make a point of getting back on track tonight. They are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played at home and 6-1 ATS the lats seven games played against teams with a SU losing record. Take Utah. Thank you.
11-08-21	Hawks v. Warriors -3.5		113-127	Win	100	11 h 51 m	Show
Golden State. Best Bet Play. Game 512. 7:10 pm pst. At 8-1, Golden State owns the best overall record in the NBA. This is no accident. The Warriors have basketball’s, top-scoring offense (113-9 PPG) and its No.3 ranked scoring defense (100.2 PPG). New season, same old problems for Atlanta. Defense and not being able to win on the road is proving once again to be fatal for the Hawks. They are allowing 110.0 PPG and are a dismal, 1-5 away from home. Their against the spread numbers are just as deplorable: 0-8 ATS the last eight games played on the road and 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog. The Warriors are 3-0-1 ATS the last four games played at home and 9-3-1 ATS the last 13 games played following a SU win. Take Golden State. Thank you.
11-04-21	Celtics v. Heat -6		95-78	Loss	-110	9 h 43 m	Show
Miami. VEGAS INSIDER MOVE. Game 528. 4:40 pm pst. Boston finally got a win on Wednesday over Orlando. Their three victories this season have come against teams that are currently a combined 8-17. The only thing worse than the Celtics offense is their defense, which ranks 29th in scoring and 30th in rebounding. This doesn’t bode well here as they face a Heat team leading the NBA in scoring and rebounding on both sides of the court. Boston is 3-7 ATS the last 10 meetings with the Heat, 0-5 ATS the last five games played as a road underdog, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Miami is 5-0 ATS the last five games played overall, 5-0-1 ATS the last six games played as a home favorite, and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400. Take the Heat. Thank you.
11-04-21	76ers -5.5 v. Pistons		109-98	Win	100	8 h 23 m	Show
Philadelphia. ABOVE THE RIM Play. Game 523. 4:10 pm pst. Philadelphia is on a tear, winning four in a row SU and three in a row ATS. The 76ers are chomping at the bit waiting for tonight’s tip-off. They bring one of the NBA’s most explosive offenses into the Little Caesars Arena to face its worst. The Pistons “O” ranks 30th in scoring, FG% and 3-pt%, and 28th in rebounding. Even without Green (questionable, check status) and Harris (out), Philly outclasses Detroit. The 76ers are 11-4 ATS the last 15 meetings in this series, 9-1 ATS the last 10 games played vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played on 0 days rest. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.
11-03-21	Knicks +1 v. Pacers		98-111	Loss	-109	9 h 51 m	Show
New York. ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE Play. Game 509. 4:10 pm pst. New York possesses one of the NBA’s most-potent offenses averaging 115.1 PPG. The Knicks also come off just their second SU loss of the 2021 campaign and will bounce back here with a vengeance against the struggling Pacers. Indiana is just 2-6. Their woes are mostly due to their 27th ranked defense (113.3 PPG). There is one major disadvantage here. Indiana can not defend the “3”, allowing opponents to hit a whopping 38.8% beyond the arc. New York’s 2nd ranked three-point shooting unit is hitting 40.8% from downtown. The Knicks are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Pacers, 15-6 ATS the last 21 games played on the road, and 23-8 ATS the last 31 games played vs. teams with a losing record. Take New York. Thank you.
11-01-21	Bulls +1.5 v. Celtics		128-114	Win	100	10 h 43 m	Show
Chicago. VEGAS INSIDER MOVE. Game 543. 4:40 pm pst. Not only is Chicago winning, they are covering. The Bulls are 5-1 both SU and ATS this season, winning and covering both games played on the road. Boston is disappointing fans, donning a 2-4 mark both SU and ATS, failing to win or cover both of their games played at home. The Celtics come off two consecutive losses against the Wizards. Both physical contests that will have their energy drained here. LaVine and DeRozan (49.2 PPG, 10.7 RPG, 8.8 APG combined) are proving to be one of the best back court tandems in the league. Vucevic will give Tatum, Horford, and Williams problems down low. Chicago is 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on one days rest, and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played overall. Boston is 1-7 ATS the last eight games played at home, 1-12 ATS the last 13 games played on one days rest, and 2-6 the last eight games played overall. Take the Bulls. Thank you.
10-31-21	Kings +4.5 v. Mavs		99-105	Loss	-102	4 h 56 m	Show
Sacramento. SLAM DUNK play. Game 523. 12:40 pm pst. Sacramento is money on the road this season, winning and covering all three contests away from home. The Dallas offense is just horrible, ranking 30th, averaging a mere, 97.0 PPG. Forward, Porzingis sat the last few games and is questionable here with a back issue. Either way, he is a liability and the Kings will exploit this situation. The Mavericks have yet to cover in the American Airlines Center this season (0-2 ATS). Sacramento is 7-1 ATS the last eight games played at Dallas, 11-1 ATS the last 12 games played on the road, and 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the Kings. Thank you.
10-30-21	Knicks -5.5 v. Pelicans		123-117	Win	100	8 h 34 m	Show
New York. Fast Break play. Game 505. 4:10 pm pst. New York sits atop the Atlantic at 4-1 while New Orleans dwells in the Southwest cellar at 1-5. Don’t be shocked but the Knicks own the No.2 scoring team in the NBA, accounting for over 115.8 PPG. Without Zion Williamson, the Pelicans just can’t score (102-2 PPG) With six players pitting in serious minutes and Kemba Walker proving to be a significant addition, New York just outclasses New Orleans. Plus, they had a day off to rest while the Pels had a tough outing in last night’s, 113-109 loss to the Kings. The Knicks are 9-3 ATS the last 12 games played at the Pelicans, 5-1 ATS the last six games played as a road favorite, and 15-7 ATS then last 22 games played on one days rest. Take New York. Thank you.
10-27-21	Hornets -5.5 v. Magic		120-111	Win	100	9 h 34 m	Show
Charlotte. ABOVE THE RIM PLAY. Game 529. 4:10 pm pst. Charlotte is sitting atop the Southwest at 3-1. Through the first four games of the campaign, the Hornets own the No.2 scoring offense in the NBA, accounting for 121.5 PPG. Coming off their first loss of the season and playing the lowly Magic (forecasted as the worst team in the NBA), they will bounce back here and win big. They won and covered two of the three meetings with Orlando a season ago. The Magic just can’t compete here and keep pace in scoring donning the 28th ranked offense (98.3 PPG) in the NBA. The Hornets are 14-5 ATS the last 19 games played at the Magic, 7-1 ATS the las eight games played as a road favorite, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played following an ATS loss. The Magic are 2-6 ATS the last eight games played on one days rest, 1-8-1 ATS the last 10 games played as a home underdog, and 1-4 ATS the last five games played following a SU loss. Take Charlotte. Thank you.
10-26-21	Rockets +10.5 v. Mavs		106-116	Win	100	8 h 54 m	Show
Houston. Slam Dunk play. Game 523. 5:40 pm pst. Houston isn’t touted to have a great season. But the Rockets have some very solid talent and match up well with the Mavericks. They have the size and the strength to give Dallas problems. Currently, all five starters are averaging double-digits. Speaking of double-digits, the Mavericks, while possessing some very good personnel, aren’t known to blow-out opponents. A season ago, they were favorites of 10 or more points seven times. Outside of two meetings with the lowly Cavaliers, they went 1-4 ATS in the other five contests. One of those outings were against the Rockets, laying 10-points and losing outright. As a matter of fact, Houston has won six of the last eight meetings in this Texas-rivalry SU, including the most-recent two meetings, in January and April. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played in Dallas 6-1 ATS the last seven games played following a SU loss, and 5-2 ATS the last seven games played on the road. The Mavericks are 0-4 ATS the 2-5 ATS the last seven games played overall, 1-6 ATS the last seven games played following a SU win, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played at home. Take Houston. Thank you.
10-25-21	Pelicans v. Wolves -5.5		107-98	Loss	-107	9 h 17 m	Show
Minnesota. Monday Moneymaker. Game 514. 5:10 pm pst. A quick turnaround from Saturday’s matchup at the Target Center which saw the T-Wolves get a 96-89 win, missing an ATS cover by a half-point. In that meeting, Minny exploited New Orleans’ weaknesses, taking advantage of the absence of their top-contributor and floor general, Zion Williamson. The Timberwolves won’t take this matchup lightly, knowing they have both the Bucks and the Nuggets coming up. Looking at the ATS stats, the Pelicans are 0-4 ATS the last four games played on one days rest, 1-5 ATS the last six games played as an underdog, and 1-5 ATS the last six games played following a SU loss. Take Minnesota. Thank you.
10-22-21	Jazz -5.5 v. Kings		110-101	Win	100	12 h 8 m	Show
Utah. ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE play. Game 551. 7:10 pm pst. Guys, the oddsmakers are looking to trap you here. This line should be closer to a -9 or even a -10. Utah is a monster team looking for redemption. Following last years 52-20 regular season, they were ousted from the postseason in the second round. The Jazz won and covered all three meetings with the Kings in 2021 and four straight going back a bit further, and eight of the last nine overall meetings. Sacto’s only strength is scoring. But facing the stingy Utah “D” is going to be fatal here. Defensively, the Kings are a doormat. At least six or seven Jazz players will be in double-digits tonight. Utah is 4-1 ATS the last five games played as a road favorite and 6-1 ATS the lasts even games played following a SU win. Sacramento is 7-15-1 ATS the last 23 games played at home and 5-11 ATS the last 16 games played on one days rest. Take the Jazz. Thank you.
10-20-21	76ers -3 v. Pelicans		117-97	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
Philadelphia. CRASH THE BOARDS play. Game 515. 5:10 pm pst. The news this week was all about Ben Simmons being suspended for the season-opener. No big deal. The guard averaged a mere, 9.9 PPG in the Conference Semi Finals last season. What is a big deal is the absence of Pelicans standout forward, Zion Williamson (foot). I understand New Orleans is excited about their new additions. However, without their floor general and team leader, they team just won’t be able to compete here. Philly will go out to prove they don’t need Simmons and the distractions he causes. The Pelicans are 2-5 ATS the last seven home games. The 76ers are 12-5-1 ATS the last 18 games played as a road favorite, Take Philadelphia. Thank you.
07-20-21	Suns +5 v. Bucks		98-105	Loss	-108	11 h 35 m	Show
Phoenix. GAME 6 MM. Game 511. 6:05 pm pst. The last two games were both decided in the final minute. Now, Phoenix is in a “must win” situation. After winning Games 1 and 2, the Suns have dropped three in a row. Phoenix, during the regular season, possessed the NBA’s best road record (24-12). Devon Booker and Chris Paul will shine here while one of the league’s best defenses find a way to slow down Milwaukee’s 1-2 punch of Antetokounmpo and Middleton. The Suns are 4-1 ATS L5 at the Bucks, 6-2 ATS L8 on the road, and 14-6 ATS L20 following a SU loss. Take Phoenix. Thank you
07-17-21	Bucks v. Suns -4		123-119	Loss	-100	33 h 39 m	Show
Phoenix. VI MOVE. Game 510. 6:05 pm pst. Phoenix dropped both games in Milwaukee. But the Suns return home to the Phoenix Suns Arena where they are 26-16 ATS the last 52 contests. The Bucks lose some luster when they travel. Especially against good teams. They are just 2-8 ATS the last 10 games played on the road as an underdog. Things go from bad to worse in this rivalry where they are 0-5 ATS the last five games played in Phoenix. With this series now a best-of-three, look for the Suns to win and cover here. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
07-14-21	Suns +5 v. Bucks		103-109	Loss	-107	10 h 30 m	Show
Phoenix. Game 4 Winner. Game 507. 6:00 pm pst. After two very impressive victories in the Finals, Phoenix was steamrolled in Game 3. Yes, the “Greek Freak” accounted for 41 points and 13 rebounds. But Giannis has been putting up stellar numbers all season long. The Suns leading scorer. Booker was “off” the entire contest and Ayton and Crowder were a step behind defensively as well. You can bet that Booker will be significantly sharper and Ayton and Crowder will surely show why they are two of the better defenders in basketball. The team will make the necessary adjustments and bounce back here strongly. They are 5-1 ATS L6 meetings with the Bucks, 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog, 20-7 ATS L27 following a SU loss, and 6-2 ATS L8 on the road. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
07-11-21	Suns +4.5 v. Bucks		100-120	Loss	-107	8 h 11 m	Show
Phoenix. Game 3 Winner. Game 505. 5:05 pm pst. Devin Booker has been outstanding while Chris Paul has dictated the series. Milwaukee’s supporting cast is just overmatched and overwhelmed. The Suns are better rested coming into this series and it shows. They are better coached and their defense has been frustrating the Bucks. Giving Phoenix points here is a mistake. The Suns are 5-0 ATS L5 meetings with the Bucks. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
07-08-21	Bucks v. Suns -4.5		108-118	Win	100	9 h 6 m	Show
Phoenix. Game 504. 6:05 pm pst. Phoenix won and covered Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Suns are better coached, better rested, have more depth, and are simply just a better team. The Bucks are 3-7 ATS L10 as a road underdog. The Suns are 9-3 ATS L12 as a home favorite. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
07-06-21	Bucks v. Suns -6	Top	105-118	Win	100	12 h 7 m	Show
Phoenix. NBA FINALS GOY. Game 502. 6:05 pm pst. Phoenix enters the Finals much fresher. Despite the WCF and the ECF both going six games, the Suns, which finished their series four days before the Bucks, had a much easier time with the Clippers than the Bucks did with the Hawks. Word is that Giannis Antetokounmpo (check status) “if” he plays, certainly won’t be 100%. This changes the entire offense and hurts Milwaukee significantly in transition. Keep in mind, although both regular season meetings were won my one-point, the Suns still won and covered both. They are a stronger team now than they were in February and March. The fresher legs, with the smarter coach, with the frustrating defense will come out here in Game 1 and win and cover. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS L7 meetings with the Suns and 3-9 ATS L12 as an underdog. The Suns are 4-0 ATS L4 on three or more days rest and 8-3 ATS L11 as a home favorite. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
06-30-21	Suns v. Clippers +1		130-103	Loss	-115	10 h 14 m	Show
Clippers. WCF GAME 6 WINNER. Game 532. 6:00 pm pst. The Clippers seem to play their best basketball when their back is against the wall. Three times this postseason Los Angeles has faced elimination and beat it. The last several meetings this round, they have frustrated Phoenix, holding the Suns to 92, 84, and 102 points. The Clippers are one of the toughest teams in the NBA at home. They are 10-2 ATS L12 at home vs. the Suns, 5-1 ATS l6 overall at home, 7-2 ATS L9 on one days rest, and 7-2 ATS l9 overall. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.
06-28-21	Clippers +5.5 v. Suns		116-102	Win	100	11 h 34 m	Show
Clippers. WCF Game 5 Winner. Game 511. 6:05 pm pst. Facing elimination, Los Angeles must come back here to keep their season alive. Funny thing about this series, the Clippers, despite being down 3-2, have outscored the Suns. Three of the four meetings this round have been separated by a total of 11 points. Los Angeles is 16-7 L23 vs. the Suns, 6-2 ATS L8 on one days rest, 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog, 4-1 ATS L5 following an ATS loss, and 6-2 ATS L8 overall. Take the Clippers. Thank you.
06-27-21	Bucks v. Hawks +4.5		113-102	Loss	-100	9 h 4 m	Show
Atlanta. Fast Break play. Game 502. 5:35 pm pst. After winning Game 1 of this series, Atlanta took one of the worst beating this season in Game 2. Trae Young, the teams top-scorer, had his poorest performance and lowest scoring game in the playoffs. Expect the star guard to come in here in Game 3, at home, and produce. The Hawks are one of the NBA’s best home teams and giving them points here is a mistake. They are 4-1 ATS L5 following an ATS loss, 20-6 ATS L26 at home, 15-7 ATS l22 on one day rest, and 11-5 ATS L16 overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you.
06-25-21	Hawks +8 v. Bucks		91-125	Loss	-102	10 h 49 m	Show
Atlanta. CTB. Game 581. 5:35 pm pst. This is way too many points to give the better-coached, well-prepped, and scrappy Hawks. Atlanta has been money to us bettors, covering eight of their last 11 postseason outings. Milwaukee, on the other hand, has crushed followers, going 3-8 ATS their last 11 playoffs contests. The Hawks outhustled the Bucks in Game 1. Milwaukee is very similar to a Philly team which Atlanta ousted in the last round. The Hawks are 19-7 ATS L26 at the Bucks, 5-1 ATS L6 as a road ‘dog, and 15-6 ATS L21 on one day rest. The Bucks are 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU loss, 1-4 ATS L5 as a fav, and 0-7 ATS L7 home games vs. teams with a losing road record. Take Atlanta. Thank you.
06-23-21	Hawks +8 v. Bucks	Top	116-113	Win	101	9 h 26 m	Show
Atlanta hawks. ECF GOY. Game 561. 5:35 pm pst. This is just too many points to give a well-coached, smarty and scrappy, Hawks team that ousted the 76ers in the last round. Milwaukee has gotten by with luck. We have seen the Bucks commit countless mental errors, turning the ball over, getting flustered, and missing crucial shots from the FT line. They are very similar to the 76ers. Look for the sharper, better-coached, and the frustrating Hawks squad to out smart and outclass the 76ers here. Atlanta is 12-3 ATS L15 at Milwaukee, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 10-4 ATS L14 overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you.
06-22-21	Clippers v. Suns -4.5		103-104	Loss	-105	11 h 32 m	Show
Phoenix. WCF Game 2 Winner. Game 552. 6:05 pm pst. The Phoenix Suns have now won and covered eight straight contests. Game 1 of this series was tied, 93-93 when the fourth quarter began. Phoenix then showed why they are the best team in the West, prevailing, 120-114. Both Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul are ruled out today. Leonard is the Clippers top-scorer, one of their best rebounders, and the teams floor general. L.A. can not compete without him. Paul is a star. However, the Suns have some very talented guards to fill in without affecting the team. Phoenix will once again be too much on the boards and outrebound Los Angeles here. And, if you are concerned about the number, if you recall, the Suns were favored by six points in both Games 1 and 2 of the last round against the Nuggets, and won both by a combined 42 points. The Clippers are 1-4 ATS l5 as a road underdog. The Suns are 10-1 ATS L11 playoff games as a favorite. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
06-20-21	Clippers v. Suns -4	Top	114-120	Win	100	4 h 30 m	Show
Suns. WCF GOY. Game 536. 12:35 pm pst. Both teams are without superstars. Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul are both out here. Both have missed a significant number of games this season. But this isn’t the regular season. Leonard is the teams top-scorer, one of their best rebounders, and their floor general. While Paul is a solid contributor, the Suns possess a few solid guards that will fill on and not affect the squad. The Clippers have only had one day to rest and prepare for the Western Conference Finals following a grueling, six-game war with the Jazz. Phoenix did away with Denver in a four-game sweep and have rested for about a week. The Suns have the offense and the defense to overwhelm the tired Clippers team. Not to forget they are on a seven-game win and cover streak. Take Phoenix. Thank you.
06-19-21	Bucks v. Nets -1.5		115-111	Loss	-108	10 h 40 m	Show
Nets. Game 7 Winner. Game 522. 5:35 pm pst. The home team has won all six games in this series, going 5-1 against the number. The Bucks have made a slew of mental errors, turned the ball over, and missed quite a few crucial free throws this round. James Harden returned to the floor the last two games and averaged 42 MPG. His numbers were down. Expect the star guard to have a significant impact here having had some time to rest. Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS L4 at home vs. Milwaukee, 11-1 ATS L12 as a home favorite, 5-1 ATS L6 on one day rest, 14-3 ATS L17 overall at home, and 7-3 ATS L10 following an ATS loss. Take the Nets. Thank you.

Atlanta Hawks. VIM. Game 512. 4:35 pm pst. Atlanta has shown their grit, coming from behind to win the last two games of this series. The Hawks are also one of the NBA’s strongest teams when playing host. Giving them points here is a gift. Nate McMillan has been one step ahead of Doc Rivers this round and has made some adjustments and they have all worked out. All this along with the funk Ben Simmons has been in, tells us to take the home underdog here. The 76ers are 1-4 ATS L5 at the Hawks. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS L5 as a home underdog. Take Atlanta. Thank you.
06-17-21	Nets +6 v. Bucks		89-104	Loss	-104	11 h 33 m	Show
Brooklyn. HIGH ROLLER play. Game 501. 5:35 pm pst. Both teams need the win tonight. The Bucks to avoid elimination. And the Nets as to not let the series even out and force a Game 7. We’ve been watching Milwaukee commit a ton of mental mistakes. While Antetokounmpo and Middleton are putting up some amazing numbers, the team overall is turning the ball over and is falling short at the FT line. James Harden had one of his poorest performances all season in Game 5. But he still played over 45 minutes. Expect him to have a much better game here and keep this contest close. The Nets are 4-1 ATS L5 vs. the Bucks, 5-0 ATS L5 on one days rest, and 4-1 ATS L5 on the road. The Bucks are 4-10 ATS L14 as a fav, 3-7 ATS L10 following an ATS loss, and 2-5 ATS L7 at home. Take Brooklyn. Thank you.

Jazz. VI MOVE. Game 584. 7:00 pm pst. After dropping Games 3 and 4 in L.A., Utah returns to Salt Lake City, where they are one of the best home teams in the NBA (35-6). Donovan Mitchell had some time to rest and heal a bit. Expect the Jazz to dominate here just as in the first two games of this series. Quin Snyder also had time to prepare his squad and make the necessary adjustments to overcome L.A.’s zone defense. Look for Utah’s “bigger” lineup to get it done in the paint. The Clippers are 8-22-1 ATS L31 at the Jazz, 1-4 ATS L5 as a road ‘dog, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. The Jazz are 6-0 ATS L6 as a fav, 4-0 ATS L4 at home, and 6-2 ATS L8 overall. Take Utah. Thank you.

76ers. Game 582. 4:30 pm pst. Philadelphia is the Eastern Conference’s top seed. And after a lackluster performance on Wednesday, expect the 76ers to take the lead here in this best-of-seven series over the fifth seed. Center, Joel Embiid shot quite poorly in game 4 and will dominate here in game 5. Atlanta is not the same team on the road (19-22) as they are at home (28-12). The Hawks are 1-4 ATS l5 at the 76ers and 3-7 ATS L10 on the road. The 76ers are 4-0 ATS L4 following an ATS loss and 9-3-1 ATS L13 at home. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.

Milwaukee. SLAM DUNK Play. Game 571. 5:30 pm pst. Brooklyn, for much of the season had to deal with injuries to their stars. However, playing without Harden and Irving (both ruled out today), against the NBA’s top-scoring team, will be fatal. The Bucks have taken Games 2 and 3 with authority. The Nets just can not compete with Antetokonmpo and Middleton up front. Durant can’t do it all by himself. And with two thirds of the dream team sidelined, Milwaukee will key on KD. They have the depth to frustrate the forward and slow him down a bit. The Bucks are 16-5-1 ATS L22 at the Nets, 4-1 ATS L5 following a SU win, and 5-2 ATS L7 on one day rest. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Utah. VI MOVE. Game 563. 7:05 pm pst. Outside of an early-January defeat to Brooklyn, the Game 3, 132-106 embarrassing loss to Los Angeles is the worst beating Utah has taken all season. The Jazz will bounce back here and avenge Saturday’s thumping. They are better on the boards and can and will slow down the Clippers top-ranked outside shooting squad with the NBA’s second-ranked three-point defense. The Jazz are 9-4 ATS L13 at the Clippers, 11-4 ATS L15 overall vs. the Clippers, 5-1 ATS L6 on one days rest, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 6-1 ATS L7 overall. Take Utah. Thank you.

Utah Jazz. VI MOVE. Game 541. 5:35 pm pst. Utah won and covered Games 1 and 2 of this series to extend their win and cover streak to six consecutive outings and eight of their last nine overall. On both sides of the court, the Jazz are outhustling the Clippers. Los Angeles has just four players averaging double-digits this postseason. And their leader and top-scorer, Leonard has really struggled in this series. Utah is 5-1 ATS L6 overall vs. Los Angeles, 9-3 ATS L12 at LA, 4-0 ATS L4 on the road, and 5-0 ATS L5 on one days rest.

Phoenix Suns. VI MOVE. Game 533. 7:05 pm pst. Phoenix has taken Game 1 and 2 of this series with authority. They took the opener by 17 points and Wednesday’s matchup by 25 points. They have now won and covered six consecutive postseason contests. With the absence of their regular season second leading scorer and floor general, Jamal Murray, Denver is clearly having trouble in transition. Nikola Jokic will get his points. But the supporting cast just don’t matchup up well here. The Suns are 9-3 ATS L12 as a road ‘dog, 6-0 ATS L6 Conference Semi Final games, and 20-5-1 ATS L26 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take Phoenix. Thank you.

Utah. VIM. Game 524. 7:00 pm pst. Utah is too good, too deep, and too strong on both sides of the court. Throw in the mix they are one of the NBA’s best at home, and I don’t see how Game 2 won’t have the same outcome as the series opener. The Jazz have won and covered three of four meetings with the Clippers in 2021. Los Angeles is 8-21-1 ATS L30 in Utah and 0-4 ATS L4 Conference Semi Final games. Utah is 26-12 ATS L38 home games and 5-0 ATS l5 overall games. Take the Jazz. Thank you.

Milwaukee. ATR. Game 522. 4:30 pm pst. Down 2-0 in this series and going home in front of their diehard fans, look for Milwaukee to bounce back here and get a well-needed victory. This is a team built on revenge, losing four times this season by 20 or more points this season and came back each time to beating Miami, Memphis, LAC, and Orlando by an average of 18.8 PPG. Harden is ruled out tonight. The Nets are 1-4 ATS l5 as a ‘dog. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Follow me in the CLIPPERS/JAZZ GAME 1 matchup and you will be following me all the way to the bank. Utah. Game 504. 7:00 pm pst. Utah comes in here well rested. Much more time to rest, heal, and prepare than Los Angeles. They disposed of Memphis in five games and have been off since June 2. The Clippers played seven tough games to get past the Mavericks, only two days ago. Los Angeles is 8-20-1 ATS L29 in Utah. Utah is 25-12 ATS L37 at home. Take the Jazz. Thank you.

Philadelphia. ATR. Game 502. 4:30 pm pst. Game 1 saw Philly missing 11 free throws and committing 19 turnovers. Very uncharacteristic for the team. The 76ers must win here to even up the series.

The Bucks won and covered the most recent matchups at the beginning of May. They also come in here with a bit more rest, having swept the Heat. Giving the top-scoring team in the NBA several baskets is a mistake. The Bucks are 16-4-1 ATS L21 at the Nets. The Nets are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Phoenix. VI MOVE. Game 543. 7:35 pm pst. Phoenix has taken advantage of Los Angeles during the absence of Anthony Davis (check status), who is listed as a gametime decision here. Devin Booker (26.2 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 5.4 APG this series) and Deandre Ayton (17.4 PPG, 12.2 RPG this series) have been just too much for the Lakers the last two games. Look for Ayton to dominate in the paint once again tonight. If Davis is out, there is no one to contend with the Suns center. And is Davis does, by chance play, he will not be at full strength. Phoenix is 8-3 ATS L11 as a road ‘dog. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS L6 as a home fav, 3-7-1 ATS L11 on one days rest, and 6-13-1 ATS L20 overall. Take the Suns. Thank you.

Phoenix. Game 526. 7:05 pm pst. With a doubtful, Anthony Davis (check status), Los Angeles just doesn’t measure up and won’t be able to contend with Phoenix in Game 5.

The Wizards own the leagues worst defense, getting plowed for over 118.5 PPG overall. But, in this Round 1 matchup, they are being steamrolled for 125.6 PPG. The 76ers play, in the next series, play the winner of the Knicks/Hawks matchup. They will finish off the Wizards here in a sweep, allowing the team a few extra days to rest and prepare. Philadelphia is 10-3-1 ATS L14 as a road favorite. Washington is 2-10 ATS L12 playoff games as an underdog. Take the 76ers. Thank you.

Mavs. CONSENSUS. Game 508. 6:35 pm pst. After steamrolling just about every adversary over the last five weeks, Dallas was outplayed on their home court in Game 3, humbling the team. You can expect the Mavericks to make the necessary adjustments here and be more physical and extremely aggressive. The Clippers have no answer for forward, Luka Doncic (38.0 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 9.0 APG in this series) at all. The Dallas supporting cast will be prepped and primed to get a home win here and further better themselves to close out this series. Los Angeles is 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Dallas, 2-6 ATS L8 on the road, and 1-4 ATS L5 as a fav. Dallas is 7-3 ATS L10 overall, 4-0 ATS L4 following a SU loss, and 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog. Take the Mavericks.

The 76ers are getting solid production from both their starters and their bench. Beal is the only consistent Wizards player this series. If Westbrook plays (check status) he won’t be 100%. Either way the team can not go score-for-score here. Philadelphia is 9-4 ATS L13 as a favorite and 9-3-1 ATS L13 as a road favorite, Take the 76ers. Thank you.

Bucks. EGW. Game 571. 10:35 am pst. Milwaukee has just dominated Miami in this series. As good as the Bucks are offensively (#1, 120.1 PPG), it has been their swarming defense that has been the reason for their success here. They are frustrating the Heat particularly the teams to regular season scorer, Jimmy Butler, who is averaging only 15.3 PPG in this series. Milwaukee will close the series out today and ensure themselves a few extra days to rest and prepare before the next round. The Bucks are 3-1 ATS vs. the Heat this season. The Heat are 1-4 ATS L5 as a home underdog. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Dallas Mavericks. Vegas Insider Move. Game 566. 6:35 pm pst. Los Angeles, like every other team in the NBA, has no answer for Luka Doncic. The star forward has averaged over 35.0 PPG and 8.5 RPG in this series while his supporting cast consists of four other players averaging DD’s and a few flirting with it. While Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are incredible players, they’re not as young as they once were and averaging over 40 MPG each through Games 1 and 2, is going to be fatal here. The Mavericks have won and covered four of five meetings with the Clippers this season. They are also 4-0 ATS l4 as an underdog and 5-0 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. The Clippers are 2-6 ATS L8 on the road, 0-5 ATS L5 playoff games as a favorite, and 1-6 ATS L7 following a SU loss. Take Dallas. Thank you.

New York Knicks. Slam Dunk play. Game 561. 4:05 pm pst. The halftime adjustments made by Tom Thibodeau in Game 2, brought the Knicks a victory and momentum going into Game 3. New York has covered eight of the lats nine vs. Atlanta, including three of the four meetings this season. Rose and Burks are being utilized perfectly allowing Randle and Barrett to soar. The NO.1 defense in the NBA will be the difference here. The Knicks are 15-5-1 ATS l21 meetings with the Hawks, 13-3 ATS l16 on the road, and 11-3 ATS l14 as an underdog. Take New York. Thank you.

Suns. Best Bet play. Game 553. 7:00 pm pst. Phoenix took Game 1 and was extremely competitive in Game 2. James and Davis both played nearly 40 minutes each on Tuesday. I look for the more youthful Suns to be a bit fresher here, particularly come the second half. The Lakers are just 14-23 ATS at the Staples Center this season. L.A. is 3-8 ATS L11 at home, 2-6-1 ATS L9 on one days rest, and 0-4 ATS L4 as a home fav. The Suns are 11-3 ATS L14 following a SU loss, 22-7 ATS L29 following an ATS loss, and 7-2 ATS L9 as a road ‘dog. Take Phoenix. Thank you.

Grizzlies. VI MOVE. Game 545. 7:05 pm pst. Memphis has covered three of four meetings with Utah this season. With Donovan Mitchell scheduled to finally hit the floor after nearly seven weeks, expect the Jazz to be out of sync trying to accommodate the star. Morant and Brooks will control the tempo while Valenciunas, Anderson, and Jackson dominate down low. The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS L10 at the Jazz. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Knicks. BEST BET Play. Game 544. 4:35 pm pst. New York lost a heartbreaker at home in Game 1, 107-105. While Trae Young lit up the No.1 defense in the NBA for 32 points, the Knicks top performers, Julius Randle and RJ Barrett combined for a disappointing, 12-of-38 shooting from the floor. New York will make the necessary changes to slow down Young while the dynamic duo find the hoop here. The Hawks are 1-6-1 ATS L8 vs. the Knicks and 1-5 ATS L6 on the road. The Knicks are 13-4 ATS L17 as a home favorite and 14-5 ATS L19 following a SU loss. Take New York. Thank you.

Clippers. Game 536. 7:35 pm pst. L.A. was embarrassed in Game 1, losing 113-103. This is a smart, healthy team with seasoned veterans, Leonard, George, and Rondo, just to name a few. They will show their playoff experience and step-up here. The team held Doncic to just one point in the fourth quarter by doubling him up. Look for more of that here in Game 2. The Mavs are 4-9 ATS L13 vs. the Clippers. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS L5 following a double-digit loss at home. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Heat. VI MOVE. Game 521. 4:35 pm pst. Miami is a scrappy team. They’ve covered seven of their last nine contests, including Game 1 of this series. Jimmy Butler’s presence was felt in the opener. But, the star forward, shot just 4-of-22 from the field including 2-of-9 from beyond the arc. All this and the team still pushed Milwaukee to OT. Butler will come out here and have more success in Game 2 for sure. The Bucks are point spread poison going 1-7 ATS L8 as a favorite, 1-4 ATS L5 at home, and 1-5 ATS L6 following an ATS loss. The Heat are 6-1 ATS L7 overall, 6-1 ATS L7 at home, and 4-0-1 ATS L5 following a SU loss. Take Miami. Thank you.

At home, they are money, winning 11 of their last 12 SU, and going 9-3 ATS. The Hawks have trouble when traveling, failing to cover their last five on the road. The swarming, top-rated Knicks defense will frustrate the Hawks here and allow their stars, Randle and Barrett to shine. Atlanta is 0-6-1 ATS L7 vs. New York. New York is 16-5 ATS L21 as a home favorite. Take the Knicks. Thank you.

Trailblazers. Game 511. 7:35 pm pst. Portland has covered all three meetings with Denver this season. They are 10-2 overall their last 12 games SU, going 9-3 ATS, beating some of the NBA’s best. As good as the Nuggets offense is, the Blazers score more, are better from both the FT line and from downtown. The back court of Lillard and McCollum are one of the most talented in the NBA. They do outclass the Denver guards and will penetrate the paint against their big men. The Trailblazers are 4-0 ATS L4 meetings with the Nuggets and 7-1 ATS L8 as an underdog. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning record and 1-6 ATS L7 on three or more days rest. Take Portland. Thank you.

Clippers. Game 510. 1:35 pm pst. The well-rested stars of the Clippers will shine here. Both teams success relies upon their big men. Forwards, Doncic and Porzingis (47.8 PPG, 16.9 RPG) represent Dallas while Leonard and George (48.1 PPG, 13.1 RPG) lead Los Angeles. The Clippers are far stronger overall on both ends of the court on the boards. But, this game will come down to the No.1 three-pt shooting and FT shooting squad of LA terrorizing Dallas from beyond the arc and making most of their shots from the line. The Mavericks are 4-9 ATS L13 vs. the Clippers and 5-11 ATS L16 playoff games as an underdog. The Clippers are 40-19 ATS L59 following a SU loss and 20-5-1 ATS L26 on three or more days rest.

Warriors. VI MOVE. Game 580. 6:05 pm pst. The Warriors, which have covered seven in a row and nine of their last 10, have taken two of three meetings with the Grizzlies in 2021. The last meeting, was just five days ago, when Golden State tore up Memphis, 113-101. Steph Curry has a ton of postseason experience in which he personally has elevated his team in big-game situations. He and his warriors will light up the scoreboard from beyond the arc here. The Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS L11 at the Warriors, 1-7 ATS L8 following a SU win, and 0-4 ATS L4 overall. The Warriors are 6-0 ATS L6 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 as a favorite, and 6-0 ATS L6 on one days rest. Take Golden State. Thank you.
05-19-21	Spurs v. Grizzlies -4		96-100	Push	0	9 h 36 m	Show
Grizzlies. VI MOVE. Game 568. 4:30 pm pst. San Antonio lost 10 of their last 12 regular season games. The team saw 14 different lineup changes this season. Losing Derrick White a few weeks ago put the nails in the coffin for coach “Pop.” The Spurs don’t possess the muscle to contend here in the paint and certainly can’t compete from beyond the arc with one of the NBA’s poorest three-point shooting teams. Memphis has won five of their last six SU, is healthier, and better on the boards. Morant will be a major factor but the big men, Valenciunas, Jackson Jr., and Anderson (43.9 PPG and 23.8 RPG combined) will be the difference here. San Antonio is 1-4 ATS l5 as a road ‘dog. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Wizards. Game 561. 6:10 pm pst. Boston limped into the postseason dropping 10 of their last 15 games. Losing standout guard, Jaylen Brown two weeks ago will be fatal here today. Washington possesses one of the NBA’s most explosive back courts. Beal and Westbrook (53.5 PPG, 16.2 RPG, 16.1 APG combined) will take this game over and light up the scoreboard. The Wizards enter the playoffs winning 17 of their last 23 regular season contests. They seemed to get stronger as the season progressed.

Heat. VI MOVE. Game 539. 5:10 pm pst. Detroit has officially called it quits for the season. In Friday’s, 104-91 loss to the Nuggets, the Pistons only dressed eight players. Miami can still move up in standings for the playoffs. Granted, some other things must happen to do that, but the one thing that must occur, is they win here. They are 11-4 SU L15 and more importantly, 4-1 ATS L5. Take the Heat. Thank you.

Knicks. VI MOVE. Game 524. 10:10 am pst. New York wants this win. They win here and Miami loses tonight, the Knicks avoid the Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. Charlotte has lost three in a row SU and seven of their last 10. NY’s top-ranked defense in PA, FG%, and 3-PT% is playing superbly and will completely shut down the Charlotte “O”. All this while Randle and Barrett continue to shine. The Hornets are 2-5 ATS L7 in New York, 1-5 ATS L6 as a ‘dog, and 0-5 ATS L5 on the road. The Knicks are 35-15-1 ATS L51 overall, 20-7 ATS L27 as a favorite, and 8-2 ATS L10 at home. Take New York. Thank you.

Wizards. VI MOVE. Game 502. 4:10 pm pst. A very angry and motivated Wizards team will come in here today looking to destroy the Cavaliers. Washington could have clinched a spot in the play-in tournament on Wednesday. Instead, they squandered a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 120-116 heartbreaking loss to Atlanta. They catch a Cleveland team in “let down” mode here. It took nearly three weeks and 11 straight defeats, but the Cavaliers finally got a win Wednesday surprising Boston. Bradley Beal is out. But the star has missed 11 games in 2021 and the squad still ranks third in the league in scoring (116.6 PPG). The Wizards won and covered both meetings with the Cavs, by an average of 19.0 PPG. Look for Russell Westbrook to continue his stellar run. Cleveland is 7-21 ATS L28 on the road, 1-6 ATS L7 following a SU win, 15-36 ATS L51 on one days rest, and 15-31-1 ATS L52 overall. Take the Wizards. Thank you.

Bulls. VI MOVE. Game 576. 5:10 pm pst. Chicago has won and covered both meetings with Toronto in 2021, by an average of 16.0 PPG. The Bulls technically still have a shot to make the play-in. Just this week, the Raptors officially ended the season for seven players, including their top-four producers (Siakem, VanVleet, Lowry, and Anunoby). Without these starters, the team got crushed by the Clippers on Tuesday, 115-96. Chicago will play with intensity and motivation here to keep their postseason hopes alive. Toronto is 7-18 ATS L25 vs. Chicago. Take the Bulls. Thank you.

Trailblazers. VI MOVE. Game 557. 6:40 pm pst. With Mitchell and Conley still out, Lillard, who has scored 30 or more in five straight outings, will take this game over. Portland has won four in a row and eight of the last nine SU against some very strong competition. Utah, which has failed to cover their last two contests, tends to be overvalued at home. The Trailblazers are 5-1 ATS L6 on the road and 4-1 ATS L5 as an underdog. Take Portland. Thank you.
05-12-21	Pelicans +8 v. Mavs		107-125	Loss	-102	9 h 27 m	Show
Pelicans. OM Play. Game 559. 6:10 pm pst. With a loss here, New Orleans could be eliminated from the postseason.

Too many points here. The Pelicans are 7-0 ATS L7 on the road, 6-0 ATS L6 as an underdog, and 4-1 ATS L5 on one days rest. Take New Orleans. Thank you.

Celtics. Slam Dunk play. Game 555. 5:10 pm pst. Coming off back-to-back losses, Boston must win here to avoid dropping to the No. 8 seed in the East. With Jaylen Brown lost for the rest of the campaign, the team must rally here and make a statement. The Cavaliers are sitting their starters a bit as they have now dropped 11 in a row both SU and ATS. This is a do-or-die for the Celtics which are 7-3 ATS L10 on the road. Take Boston. Thank you.
05-11-21	Nuggets -6.5 v. Hornets		117-112	Loss	-106	8 h 10 m	Show
Nuggets. Game 531. 4:10 pm pst. Denver, which comes off two losses to Utah and Brooklyn, has had two days to rest, heal, and prepare for today’s matchup. The Nuggets don’t just need to turn things around today, but moreover, would love to catch the Clippers, which sit one game ahead of them in the Western Conference’s third seed. Charlotte also needs a victory to clinch a spot at least in the Eastern Conference’s postseason play-in game. The Hornets have just three SU victories over their last eight outings (2-6 ATS). Those opponents were the Pistons twice and the Magic, both last place teams. When it comes to stepping up in class, Charlotte just doesn’t have the personnel. And folks, they are stepping up here. Denver has taken four straight meetings with Charlotte SU (3-1 ATS), including the only 2021 meeting, 129-104. They will once again dominate the boards at both ends of the court. Charlotte is 0-4 ATS L4 on one days rest, 1-8-1 ATS L10 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 0-4 ATS L4 as an underdog. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Pelicans. Game 521. 5:10 pm pst. New Orleans has won both meetings with Memphis this season and swept all three meetings last season. They have covered all five of those as well. Granted Williamson and Ingram are still out. Both have been sidelined the last two games, which have been ATS wins for the Pelicans. This is a scrappy squad that has covered seven of their last eight overall outings. Memphis is looking to clinch a spot in the play-in tournament with a win here. New Orleans can go score-for-score here and on both ends of the court are better on the boards. Too many points. The Pelicans are 6-0 ATS L6 on the road and 5-0 ATS L5 as an underdog. Take New Orleans. Thank you.
05-10-21	Pacers -8 v. Cavs		111-102	Win	100	9 h 23 m	Show
Pacers. VI MOVE. Game 519. 4:40 pm pst. The Pacers hold the 10th and final spot in the play-in round with a 2.5 game lead over the Bulls. They have a few players listed as questionable. But, have the talent and depth to do to the Cavaliers what every other team in the league has done, crush them. Cleveland has now lost and failed to cover 10 in a row. The average margin of defeat during their current skid is 18.1 PPG. Look for Domantas Sabonis (20.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG) to go uncontested here. Indiana is 23-10-2 ATS L35 meetings with Cleveland, 18-7-1 ATS L26 as a road fav, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400. Take the Pacers. Thank you.

Mavericks. VI MOVE. Game 507. 4:10 pm pst. Dallas’ recent surge of nine victories over their last 11 outings (7-3 ATS L10) has catapulted the team into the Western Conference’s fifth seed. But they are only a half-game ahead of Portland and just two games in front of Los Angeles. They need wins. Porzingis has only played once for about 20 minutes over the Mav’s last nine games. MVP-candidate, Luka Doncic has been outstanding, scoring at least 23 PPG in seven consecutive games. Throw in his rebounds and assists and you can’t argue his claim on this season’s possible MVP. Overall, this team is scoring points. But it is their eight-ranked defense that has been stellar. Cleveland is horrible. They own the NBA’s third worst record and its current worst losing streak, dropping nine in a row both SU and ATS. During their current skid, the Cavs are losing by an average of 17.1 PPG. The Mavericks are 6-2 ATS L8 at the Cavaliers, 5-0 ATS L5 overall vs. the Cavaliers, and 7-3 ATS L10 overall. The Cavaliers are 8-26 L34 following an ATS loss, 1-10 ATS L11 as an underdog, and 0-5 ATS L5 at home. Take Dallas. Thank you.

The Heat have won and covered four of their last five contests while the Celtics are on a 3-5 run SU, going 2-6 ATS. Miami is winning despite the absence of Oladipo. Boston will have trouble in this matchup. Particularly if brown, the teams second leading scorer and floor general, can’t go (check status). The Heat are 7-2 ATS l9 meetings at the Celtics. The Celtics are 06 ATS l6 on one days rest. Take Miami. Thank you.

Nuggets. Best Bet play. Game 574. 7:10 pm pst. Brooklyn has now lost four in a row both SU and ATS. This is a matchup the Nets are not accustomed to seeing as the Nuggets offense can go score-for-score with them. The edge goes to Denver, which is a much better rebounding squad. The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog. Take Denver. Thank you.
05-07-21	Spurs v. Kings +3.5		113-104	Loss	-109	16 h 16 m	Show
Kings. OM PLAY. Game 564. 7:10 pm pst. Winning seven of their last 10 SU (7-3 ATS), Sacramento has a chance at the postseason. They must keep winning. San Antonio has dropped five in a row SU and can’t do anything to stop their playoff hopes from dwindling. These two teams split two meetings this season. However, the Kings have been money to bettors in this matchup, covering seven of the last nine meetings in this series. They are also 7-1 ATS L8 as an underdog. Take Sacramento. Thank you.

Mavericks. OM Play. Game 536. 4:40 pm pst. The line here should be closer to a pick ‘em or even the Mavs -1. Dallas is four games ahead of Memphis in the South West and are tied with the Los Angeles Lakers for the fifth seed in the Western Conference. The Mavericks need wins. They are 7-2 SU their last nine. They have won and covered the last two meetings with the Nets, including a 17-point thumping in the sole 2021 matchup. Brooklyn is on an 0-3 slide, both SU and ATS and just doesn’t seem to be in sync. Dallas is 4-0 ATS L4 vs. teams with a winning record and 5-1 ATS l6 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. Take the Mavericks. Thank you.

Utah. VI MOVE. Game 530. 6:10 pm pst. The Spurs are spent, having played three OT contests in their last four outings.

Portland. BEST BET. Game 517. 4:40 pm pst. Cleveland, which has lost seven in a row both SU and ATS, is eliminated from the playoffs. The Cavaliers will come in here exhausted after last nights draining OT loss to the Suns. Coming off a tough loss to Atlanta on Monday, expect Portland’s dynamic duo back court of Lillard and McCollum (51.4 PPG, 8.4 RPG, 12.4 APG combined) to make a statement here against a team they shredded by 19 points in the only meeting of 2021. The Trailblazers are 4-1 ATS L5 vs. the Cavaliers, 4-1 ATS l5 as a road favorite, and 7-3 ATS L10 following an ATS loss. Take Portland. Thank you.

Sacramento. VIM. Game 507. 3:10 pm pst. Oklahoma City is officially eliminated from the postseason. Technically, Sacramento, although a slim shot, still has a chance to make the playoffs. So. every win is crucial. The Thunder’s top two scorers have been out and won’t be returning this season. This is a team on a 1-17 SU run, covering just four games since March. Meanwhile, the Kings have been surging, particularly against the spread where they have covered four of their last five outings. They have too much offense here for their opponent to compete with. Sacto has had great success against OKC, going 5-0 ATS L5 in Oklahoma City and 8-3 ATS L11 overall vs. Oklahoma City. Take the Kings. Thank you.

76ers. VIM Game 573. 6:10 pm pst. Philly is a half-game ahead of Brooklyn in the Atlantic and owns the best overall record in the East. After a close-call in OT last night in San Antonio, they need to put the pedal to the metal here today. Especially against a Chicago team on a three-game slide both SU and ATS. The 76ers have taken six in a row over the Bulls SU, going 5-1 ATS, winning and covering both matchups this season. Chicago is 1-4 ATS l5 on one days rest, 1-4 ATS L5 as an underdog, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.

Knicks. OMP. Game 575. New York owns the No. 4 spot in the East and faces a Memphis team they beat 133-129 in OT just over three weeks ago. They are red-hot, riding an 11-1 SU run and are an astounding, 14-1 ATS their last 15 outings. The Grizzlies have dropped three of their last four both SU and ATS with a defense that has become a league doormat. Randle and Barrett (41.9 PPG combined) will light up the scoreboard here. The Knicks are 6-0 ATS L6 on zero days rest, 8-1 ATS L9 as an underdog, and 10-1 ATS l11 on the road. Take New York. Thank you.

Denver. Game 545. 7:10 pm pst. Both teams need wins. But Los Angeles is without Leonard, Beverly, and Ibaka. They just don’t have the personnel to compete here. The Clippers are 0-2 their last 2 games SU and are riding an 0-3 mark ATS. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are red-hot, winning eight of their last nine SU. Giving a team that is 3-1 ATS their last four as a ‘dog points here is a huge mistake. Denver is 4-0 ATS L4 at L.A. Los Angeles is 1-3-1 ATS L5 as a fav. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Brooklyn. VIM. Game 522. 5:10 pm pst. The line here is short due to the fact that Kyrie Irving’s status is unknown and Kevin Durant is most-likely sitting.

The Blazers are 0-4 ATS L4 vs. the Nets, 1-5 ATS L6 as a fav, and 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU win. The Nets are 4-1 ATS L5 at home, 8-3 ATS L11 as a ‘dog, and 4-0 ATS l4 overall. Take Brooklyn.

Washington. OMP. Game 515. 4:40 pm pst. Washington is playing amazing basketball, winning 11 of their last 13 contests SU. Not only that, but they are getting bettors paid as well, riding an 11-4 ATS run. The Wizards surge is due to the team finally getting healthy. The Cavaliers not healthy, with seven players either questionable or out. Even when they were at full strength, they couldn’t win. Washington took the only meeting this season, 119-10, just five days ago. They are also 10-1 ATS L11 on one days rest, 6-1 ATS L7 on the road, and 6-1 ATS L7 as a fav. Take the Wizards. Thank you.

Golden State. Slam Dunk. Game 505. 5:10 pm pst. Following an embarrassing, 133-103 beat down to the Mavericks on Tuesday, in which the Warriors went 9:23 without scoring a single point, look for Steph Curry and Golden State to come out here extra motivated. Coach, Steve Kerr stated that every remaining game is considered a playoff in his mind. Golden State has won and covered both meetings with Minny this season and will win and cover here. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS L5 vs. the Timberwolves, 4-0 ATS L4 following a SU loss, and 9-4 ATS L13 vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Denver. OMP. Game 578. 6:10 pm pst. The line here should be closer to a -7 or -8. The oddsmakers have been inflating the Nuggets.

San Antonio. VIM. Game 575. 5:10 pm pst. Miami is banged-up., But, the absence of Victor Oladipo will be the nails in the coffin here. San Antonio has won three in a row and five of the last six, both SU and ATS. The Spurs are also one of the few NBA teams that have a better road record (18-10) then at home (13-19). Look for the backcourt of DeRozan and Murray (37.1 PPG, 11.5 RPG, 12.4 APG combined) to take this game over. The Spurs are 6-2 ATS L8 at the Heat and 4-0 ATS L4 as a road ‘dog.

Indiana. VI MOVE. Game 527. 5:10 pm pst. Orlando (18-41) has got quite a few players sidelined. And now, most-likely, their coach, Steve Clifford will join them due to COVID-19 protocol. This might be a good thing as he doesn’t want to witness another bad beating. The Magic have lost four in a row both SU and ATS and 10 of last 11 SU (3-8 ATS). Indiana is probably going to still be without Domantas Sabonis for the fourth straight game. But they are loaded with talent. Just ask their last two opponents, Oklahoma City and Detroit. Offensively, Orlando just won’t be able to compete here. Indiana is 9-2 ATS L11 at Orlando and 16-7-1 ATS L24 as a road fav. Take the Pacers. Thank you.
