Kansas at Villanova 12:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- No. 1 Kansas is riding a nine game winning streak and haven't lost since opening night to Duke while Villanova has won four straight after a rough start but are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Jayhawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five games and the visitor is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings but the underdog is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. This is a game that the Wildcats have had circled on their schedule and they will be ready today. Take VILLANOVA!

Orlando at Portland 10:00 ET

Magic (+) over Trailblazers- Both Orlando and Portland are 12-16 and both (especially the Blazers) have been a disappointment so far this season. The Magic just haven't been able to close out games blowing leads in each of their last two contests losing to Denver and Utah in the final minutes. The Trailblazers who make it to the Conference Finals last season are just not the same this year and they have in reality given up on the season after the signing of Carmelo Anthony who can only help his individual stats but rarely helps a team win. Take the MAGIC!

Dallas at Philadelphia 8:00 ET

76ers (-) over Mavericks- Philadelphia was handed their first home loss to Miami Wednesday and it was their second consecutive after getting blown out at Brooklyn 109-89. Critics were on Joel Embiid's case a week ago and he responded with a dominating performance at Boston in a 115-109 victory. Since then Embiid has become pedestrian once agin. Dallas who has been outstanding on the road going 10-1 ATS in their last 11 and is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Mavericks once again will be without Super-Star Luca Doncic and his absence will be felt here. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Memphis at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- How can I do it? How can I possibly come back with the Cavaliers after they blow a 24-point third quarter lead in their non-cover win over Charlotte on Wednesday. Memphis like the Cavs blew their own 24-point lead Wednesday and ended up losing the game to Oklahoma City 126-122. But, with Kevin Love back in the lineup Cleveland has a strong inside game paired with Tristen Thompson that can control the game inside the paint. The Cavaliers won both meetings at home last season and can get it done here. Take CLEVELAND!

L.A. Lakers at Milwaukee

Bucks (-) over Lakers- This is like an old fashion shoot-out between the fastest 'guns' in the West. Both the Lakers and Bucks share the NBA's best record at 24-4 and have been denominate doing it. He funny thing about this matchup is that with all that winning both clubs are coming off of a loss. Milwaukee had an 18-game win streak ended by Dallas 120-110 and look to rebound here against LA. The Lakers got ambushed at Indiana 106-102 (Megabucks winner) and will be without Anthony Davis to night and Kyle Kuzma and Rondo are still out. Love LeBron but I am part Greek so go with the 'Freak.' Take MILWAUKEE!

Utah at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Jazz- Atlanta now has the worse record in the East after getting pounded by the Knicks of all clubs and have won only six of 28 games overall and are on a five-game losing streak. Utah has recovered from a dismal road trip and have won four of five SU but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win. The Hawks on the other hand are 6-2 after an ATS loss. Take ATLANTA!

Maryland at Seton Hall 7:00 ET

Pirates (+) over Terrapins- I was so looking forward to this match-up as Seton Hall is one of my 'dark horse' clubs that could surprise opponents all season. But, an issue has come up with the Concession suffered by their leading scorer and best all-around player Myles Powell who is averaging 21.2 points per game. Maryland is off of their first loss of the season to Penn State (Megabucks winner) while the Pirates are off of a loss to Rutgers (Money Game winner). With or without Powell the Big East Player of the Year the Pirates are the side as they are 7-1 ATS at home as an underdog and 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take SETON HALL!

St Mary's vs. Arizona State 9:00 ET

Gaels over Sun Devils- Arizona State behind coach Bobby Hurley has one of the top duals in the country with forward Romello White and one of the nation's top point-guards in Remy Martin who is averaging 20.3 points while shooting 46% from the field. St. Mary's has one of the top guards as well in Jordan Ford who is averaging 20.4 points while shooting 50.3% from the field. The fact that the Gaels are favored in Arizona raises my eyebrows. Take ST. MARY'S!

North Carolina at Gonzaga 9:00 ET

Tar Heels (+) over Bulldogs- These national powers are moving in opposite directions as North Carolina has dropped their last three and No. 2 Gonzaga has won three straight after getting blown out by Michigan 82-64. The Tar Heels are beset with injuries and cold shooting but have defeated the Bulldogs in their last three meetings. Bad news for the Tar Heels is that are 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 games as a road underdog but coaching and pride will keep this one close. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

Miami at Philadelphia 7:35 ET

76ers (-) over Heat- A pair of the more powerful NBA squads square off in Philadelphia where the 76ers remain the lone undefeated (13-0) team when they host Miami tonight. The storyline for tonight's game will not only be the status of Joel Embiid but the return of Jimmy Butler who has become the Heat's team leader. Embiid has three straight double-doubles before sitting out Sunday's loss at Brooklyn. It should be noted the Heat are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against clubs with winning home records and the 76ers are 10-4 following a SU loss. Take the 76ERS!

Charlotte at Cleveland 7:05 ET

Cavaliers over Hornets- Cleveland just finished a six game road trip with one win and fell to five of the toughest teams in the NBA losing to Philadelphia, Boston, Houston, Milwaukee and Toronto with their lone win at San Antonio. Charlotte is 6-1 ATS when playing teams on the road with a losing home record but the Hornets are ranked 26th in NBA rebounding differential at minus 2.9. But, the Cavs come up favored here as they are 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings and 5-2-1 in as hosts. Take CLEVELAND!

Toronto at Detroit 7:05 ET

Pistons (+) over Raptors- I question why this line is so low when we are aware that the Pistons two big guns Andre Drummond and Blake Griffin are day-to-day. Okay, so Toronto is 15-6 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite while Detroit is 6-15-1 ATS as an underdog but the Raptors are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Piston have responded after a poor performance going 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss. In a surprise the Pistons get it done tonight. Take DETROIT!

Tennessee at Cincinnati

Bearcats (+) over Volunteers- Both of these clubs are coming off of losses with Tennessee losing to Memphis at home while the Bearcats lost at home against Colgate. The Volunteers who play great defense is shooting just 42% from the floor and have yet to allow 70 points to an opponent this season. The Bearcats had a five-point lead with just over a minute to go and allowed Colgate to score the final six points for a 67-66 loss. Tennessee is 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall while Cincinnati is just 2-10 in their last 12 as an underdog and only 8-23 ATS in their last 31 games overall. These trends are ugly on each side but I'll take the home dog here. Take CINCINNATI!

Orlando at Utah 9:00 ET

Magic (+) over Jazz- The Magic have been hanging on tight the past three weeks without All-Star center Nikola Vucevic and with his return Sunday they scored a season high 130 points against the Pelicans. Although Utah is 13-4 SU against the Magic they are just 2-5 ATS as hosts in the last seven meetings and Orlando is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games overall and add that Utah is 0-4 ATS after scoring 100 or more points the previous game. Take the MAGIC!

Oklahoma at Creighton 8:30 ET

Sooners (+) over Blue Jays- Neither of these clubs are trending in the right direction as Oklahoma is 1-5 ATS in the last six overall and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games while Creighton is 2-6 ATS following a SU win and are 1-5 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Bluejays are 7-0 at home this season and are coming off of a 31-point win over Texas Rio Grande Valley but will be facing tougher competition tonight who lost to Wichita State 80-75 as they faltered in the final minutes. This time they finish the task. Take OKLAHOMA!

Brooklyn at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Pelicans (+) over Nets- Defense is the key to the Pelicans 12-game losing streak as they don't play much of it allowing 121.4 points per contest as they await the debut of Zion Williamson. Brooklyn on the other end of the perspective just took down Philadelphia 109-89 and their defense was the focal point of their victory. The Nets are 10-5 SU without Kyrie (The World is Flat) Irving and 4-7 with him so it's 'addition by subtraction.' Although Brooklyn is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall they are just 3-8 ATS after winning a game by more than ten points. Take NEW OREANS!

L.A. Lakers at Indiana 7:00 ET

Pacers (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles is 3-0 on this road trip and have won 13 straightway from home and their last seven overall. Indiana is on a 3-game win streak of their own and are 11-3 SU at home. As a matter of fact the Pacers have defeated the Lakers six straight times at home and LA hasn't won there since March 2013. The Lakers Kyle Kuzma has missed the last three games and most likely will be sidelined for this encounter as well. Take INDIANA!

Miami at Memphis 8:00 ET

Grizzlies (+) over Heat- Along with Dallas the Miami Heat have been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NAB this season currently at 19-7 they invade Memphis where the 7-19 Grizzlies will they and win their four game in five tries. Miami is off of an overtime 122-118 win at Dallas after falling to the Lakers the night before (Friday). Considering the records of these two I believe that this 'line' is a bit short and the Book-makers are looking to take all of the Heat action they can get. Here is Miami 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and 10-4 as a road favorite and yet are such a meager favorite here. It appears that injuries to the Heat's starting line-up will take its toll here as the Grizzlies younger player begin to mature. Take MEMPHIS!

Cleveland at Toronto 7:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Raptors- Toronto opened with a 9-0 home winning streak but have dropped three straight to the Heat, Rockets and Clippers and still are 11-4 ATS in their in last 15 games as a home favorite. Despite this trends the Cavaliers even without LeBron James have given the Raptors fits at time going 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings including 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 trips to Toronto. Take CLEVELAND!

Washington at Detroit 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Pistons- Washington enters this contest losers of their last four and are 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. The Pistons who are off of an outright win at Houston Saturday have won 3-of-4 and five of their last seven games but are not healthy entering this contest. Blake Griffin sat out the second half of their win Saturday and Andre Drummond has an eye infection. Although the Pistons have a decent ATS record as a home favorite they are 2-7-1 ATS following a win. Take WASHINGTON!

Sacramento at Golden State 8:30 ET

Warriors (+) over Kings- I guess turn-about is fair play as the Warriors who have had the best record in the NBA year after year are now at the bottom of the heap with the league's worst record. Today, Golden State will host the Kings a team that they have dominated in the recent past winning all four meetings last season and five straight in the series overall. But, this season it appears that these two have reversed roles with the Kings 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games overall and the Warriors struggling at home going 2-7 ATS in their last nine as hosts. But State is 4-1 ATS as a home underdog and 7-3 ATS  after a SU loss. Take GOLDEN STATE!

New York at Denver 8:00 ET

Knicks (+) over Nuggets- 'Break-up the Knicks...after a pair of 2-point road wins at Golden State and Sacramento New York under their new coach Mike Miller have shown some life on a squad that has been dormant for eons. Denver who touted the Knicks by 37-points in New York 10 days ago returned home to post a pair of wins over Portland and OKC and are 4-1 ATS as a home favorite in their last five. The Knicks have struggled against the Nuggets going 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Still, the Knicks have a fresh outlook and get the money here. Take NEW YORK!

Philadelphia at Brooklyn 6:00 ET

Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is now 14-0 at home and have won five straight and 9-of-10 and 13 of their last 15 contests. Brooklyn who is 9-5 without Kyrie Irving have dropped two straight for the first time since his absence are coming off of one of their worst shooting nights of the season at Toronto. Although the Sixers are off of a huge win at Boston they are just 1-5-1 ATS as a road favorite and on the other hand the Nets are 4-0 ATS as a home underdog and are 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take BROOKLYN!

Oklahoma State at Houston 3:00 ET

Cougars (-) over Cowboys- OK State was cruising along at 7-0 and then lost point guard Isaac Likekele to illness and have dropped their last two to Georgetown and Wichita State. Houston meanwhile has won four straight behind 6'5” guard Nate Hinton who leads the Cougars in points and rebounds. Houston is 38-2 SU in their last 40 games at home and is ranked 10th nationally in offensive rebounds averaging 14.5 per contest. After coming off of a point spread loss it is good to note that Houston is 15-5-1 ATS. Take the COUGARS!

N.C State at NC Greensboro 3:00 ET

Spartans (+) over Wolfpack- Now, does this seem right? An 7-2 ACC school like NC State is a meager favorite at Greensboro and that just doesn't look right. State has won three of the last four meetings but covered on once and the Wolfpack is 0-5 ATS when play a team with a better than .500 record. Greensboro id 4-0-1 ATS in their last five as a home underdog and this 'price' is way to shallow. Take the SPARTANS!

Detroit at Houston 9:00 ET

Pistons (+) over Rockets- Listen I understand that the Pistons are a major project but I still believe that Houston is one of the most over-rated team in the league and when they get to the playoffs it will be the same old story. The trends behind Detroit are ugly as they are 1-6-1 as a road dog in their last eight tries and are 2-13-1 ATS against a team with a winning record but the Rockets are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Houston is 20-42 ATS after having scored 125 or more points the previous game and are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings including 0-4 ATS at home. Take DETROIT!

L.A. Clippers at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Clippers- Chicago was a beaten home favorite last night and they get a chance tonight to get the money as a home dog where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games. Los Angeles of course is contending and have won four straight going 4-0 ATS in their last four as favorites. I imagine that the Clippers are gong to try a little loan management tonight as this is there second of back-to-back contests and their three road games in four nights. Taker CHICAGO!

Oklahoma at Wichita State 6:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Shockers- Wichita State No 22 in the nation has a beef to settle against the Sooners who have won the last two meetings and demolished the Shockers 80-48 when they last met last in December 80-48. State's lone loss came at the hands of West Virginia but they do own a win over Oklahoma State and are aware that they have never defeated both Oklahoma schools in the same season. The Sooners are 12-5-3 ATS in their last 20 road games while Wichita is 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 games overall and 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight at home...no matter take OKLAHOMA!

San Antonio at Phoenix 6:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Suns- We must be careful here as San Antonio is just a 'shell of their former selves' but seem to be putting things together. The Suns are sitting at home ready for their third straight home game while San Antonio takes to the road after three straight home games. Phoenix is just 12-26 ATS at home against teams with losing records and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as home favorites. Take the SPURS!

Seton Hall at Rutgers 4:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Pirates- No. 22 Seton Hall is slipping fast having lost two of their last four games against solid competition and now they are without Sandro Mamukelashvili (go ahead try and pronounce that) who is their leading rebounder , shooter and second in scoring. Rutgers on the other hand has a balanced attack that has nine different players seeing at least 10 minutes playing time each game. This is a bit of a rivalry and the underdog is 19-7 ARS in their last 26 meetings. Take RUTGERS!

Syracuse at Georgetown 1:00 ET

Orange (+) over Hoyas- Georgetown opened the season with four straight losses and then dismissed three players who were involved in bad stuff and then they went out and defeated Texas and have gone 4-1 ATS since including roads wins over Oklahoma State and SMU. Now, the Hoyas are hosting Syracuse an old rival (95 meetings) that just broke a 3-game losing streak with a win over Georgia Tech. And as thing would have it two more players defected from the Hoyas program Friday which leaves them with seven scholarship players. The road team is 10-2 ATS along with the underdog which is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take SYRACUSE!

Oregon at Michigan 12:00 ET

Ducks (+) over Wolverines- A Pair of ranked teams that don't usually meet are playing in Michigan as the Pac-12 and the Big Ten clash in challenging early season schedules. No. 13 Oregon (7-2) is playing their fifth ranked team already this season having defeated Memphis and Seton Hall and dropping contests against Gonzaga in overtime and North Carolina.Michigan who we played against lost time Illinois last time out and at 8-2 are ranked No.7 defeating Gonzaga and North Carolina while losing to No.1 Louisville. The Ducks are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Wolverines are 16-5 ATS at home. Tough call but today it's...OREGON!

L.A. Clippers at Minnesota 9:30 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Clippers- Kawhi Leonard returned to Toronto Wednesday night and the LA Clippers who are expected to contend for the NBA title dismantled the NBA Champion Raptors 112-92 with Leonard scoring 24-points. Tonight, the Clippers are in Minnesota where the Timberwolves are 0-6 ATS in their last six home games. As a matter of fact the Clippers are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Minny and are 21-9 ATS as road favorites. But, they are coming off of an emotional win and Clippers are just 6-6 SU on the road and may be flat here. Take MINNESOTA!

Indiana at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Pacers- 'It's over'...that was the cry of Trae Young before the Heat scored 22 consecutive points on their way to a 118-104 overtime loss. Atlanta without John Collins who was suspended for drug use has won just four of 20 games and have dropped 13 of 15. Indiana is off of a home win over the Celtics and are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as road favorites. The lowly Hawks are 5-1 ATS after an ATS loss and they are 15-7 in their last 22 as a home underdog. Take ATLANTA!

L.A. Lakers at Miami 7:00 ET

Heat (+) over Lakers- Something will have to 'give' here as a pair of the NBA's best hook-up in Miami where the Heat will host the L.A. Lakers who have the leagues best record. The Lakers have won 12 straight on the road and 15 of their last 16 overall. Miami is 11-0 at home going 9-2 ATS and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 as home underdogs. These two met in early November and the Lakers prevailed 95-80, this time turn-about-is-fair-play. Take MIAMI!

Portland at Denver 10:35 ET

Trailblazers (+) over Nuggets- Denver is coming off of a 1-3 road trip and have lost five of their last six games overall. These two met in Portland in the season opener and the Nuggets prevailed 108-100 and are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 meetings. Everything says that the Blazers should fail here as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and just 1-5-1 ATS after a SU win. Still, coming off of confidence builder at home defeating the Knicks with Carmelo Anthony becoming a real offensive threat. Take PORTLAND!

Dallas at Detroit 9:05 ET

Pistons (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is without question is the most improved team in the NBA this season reversing last years record from 7-16 to 16-7 and are 8-1 ATS in their last nine road games. The Mavericks are also 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Detroit who made the playoffs ;last season have had a rough start to the season but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games. Despite being 5-14-1 ATS in their last 20 games as an underdog the Pistons are they side tonight. Take DETROIT!

Boise State at Tulsa 8:00 ET

Broncos (+) over Golden Hurricanes- Tulsa just had their six-game winning streak snapped by Arkansas State on Saturday as well as a 19-game non-conference homes game ended. Golden Hurricane coach Frank Haith has had to use four different line-ups rotating nine players and still hasn't found the combination he needs. Boise State has the leading MWC scorer in Derrick Alston Jr. who is averaging 21.4 points and has scored at least 20 points in all but one game. Meanwhile, Tulsa is just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 home games as a favorite and the Broncos are 5-0 ATRS in the last five overall. Take BOISE STATE!

L.A. Clippers at Toronto 7:00 ET

Clippers over Raptors- To start with it appears at first look that the wrong team is favored. Here we have the defending NBA Champions at home with almost the exact record as the Clippers and yet they are underdogs here. It gets even weirder when 'we' see that Los Angeles is just 5-6 SU on the road and the Raptors are 9-2 SU at home and that the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings at Toronto. Although the Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games but are 20-9 ATS as a road favorite. It DON'T make sense. Take the CLIPPERS!

L.A. Lakers at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Magic- Los Angeles has won 14-of-15 and tonight open five-game road trip while Orlando just had their four-game winning streak stopped Monday by Milwaukee 110-101. The Lakers lost their opening game playing a road game in their own building against the Clippers and have won 11 straight on the road. But, if ever there is a place that the Lakers don't preform well it is Orlando where the Magic have defeated LA in 10 of their last 11 visits. It must be Magic...take ORLANDO!

Boston at Indiana 7:00 ET

Pacers over Celtics- Here comes Boston winners of four straight and with the return Gordon Hayward and going to Indiana as a small favorite. The Celtics are 10-0 at home and just 7-5 on the road where the Pacers are 9-3. SU. Indiana has dropped three straight to the points and Boston has won seven straight in the series including a four-game sweep in the plays last season. The Pacers who were blown out at home by the Clippers on Monday are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games following a double-digit loss at home. Take INDIANA!

New York at Portland 10:00 ET

Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Okay, which story-line should be foremost in our minds. The one where Carmelo Anthony extracts a measure of revenge against the team that sent hime into limbo for the past year or that New York who has lost nine straight will rally around interim coach Mike Miller who replaces Davis Fizdale (4-18). Portland has fallen the furthest mostly because they were a playoff team a year ago and now with Anthony added to their roster have accepted the 'Bottom feeder' role. The Blazers are just 4-10-2 ATS at home and New York is 6-20 ATS following an ATS win and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips two Portland. But, the Blazers are just going through the motions. Take NEW YORK!

Butler at Baylor 9:00 ET

Bears (-) over Bulldogs- These two are a pair of my favorites clubs to 'back' and zI hate when I have to 'fade' either one of them. Undefeated (9-0) No. 19 Butler is 7-2 ATS on the season with a huge win last time out 76-62 over Florida. No.11 Baylor has reeled off six straight wins including a win Saturday 63-58 over Arizona with their losses against ranked Gonzaga and Washington. This appears to me to be an especially 'high' number as the Bulldogs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and because Baylor is 3-7-1 in their last 11 as a home favorite. Yet this is just Butler's second true road game and that will hurt them here, Take BAYLOR!

Atlanta at Miami 8:00 ET

Hawks (+) over Heat- These two squads have mirror records with the Hawks at 6-17 and Miami 17-6. The Heat are an outstanding 14-8-1 ATS on the season as Jimmy Butler have had a more than positive affect on his teammates. Matching ATS records are in place here as Atlanta is 1-7 ATS after an ATS win (off of win at Charlotte) and the Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last six games after a straight-up win. Atlanta is 3-1-1 ATS at Miami and gets the money here. Take ATLANTA!

Denver at Philadelphia 8:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over 76ers- Of the three remaining teams that are undefeated at home the 76ers lead the way at 12-0 and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games. Denver who is 6-4 SU on the road this season and 1-4 SU in their last five with their only win coming against New York 129-92. Philadelphia just defeated the champion Raptors and have Boston on deck and may get caught 'peeking' toward Thursday's encounter. The Nuggets are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games and are 1-5 ATS in the past six meetings but gather themselves here. Take DENVER!

Brown at St. John's 7:00 ET

Bears (+) over Red Storm- At 8-2 most would believe that St. john's will be competitive this season but a closer look tells us they have only one win (West Virginia) against a team with a winning record. The seven other teams that the Red Storm have defeated have a 20-41 straight-up record but are 52-25 SU against the Ivy League. Brown (5-4) who has yet to 'Cover' 0-6 ATS on the road but are 6-1 ATS after a straight-up loss while St. John's si 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games following an ATS win. Take BROWN!

Maryland at Penn State 7:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Terrapins- No. 4 Maryland spotted Illinois and 19-point lead and then battled back for a 59-58 win and are off to their best start (10-0) in 20 years. Penn State who won seven of their first nine games this season but were pounded by Ohio State last time out. The Nittany Lions have won the last three meetings and the home team has won the last six meetings. Add that Penn State is 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog and are 14-4-2 ATS in their last 20 games overall. Take PENN STATE!

Memphis at Golden State 10:35 ET

Warriors (+) over Grizzlies- 'Break-up' the Warriors! Golden State managed to savage their final game of a five-game road trip defeating the Bulls. Golden State has come up the favorite here and have only five wins on the year with one of those coming against Memphis 114-95 back on Nov. 19. Golden State has won six of the last seven meetings and the Grizzlies are 11-23 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog. Take the WARRIORS!

Toronto at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Raptors- The defending NBA Champion Toronto Raptors have dropped three straight for the first time in over a year losing to Miami, Houston and Philadelphia. Those three clubs have 50 wins between them and the Raptors won't be facing that kind of competition tonight. Toronto has taken the last 10 meetings SU including a 108-84 win this season but the Bulls are 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Chicago is just 9-24 ATS in their last 33 home games are but 4-1 ATS in their last five overall. Take CHICAGO!

L.A. Clippers at Indiana 7:00 ET

Pacers (+) over Clippers- Indiana has started to surge winning seven of their last nine after a close shave Saturday night defeating the Knicks 104-103. Los Angeles has played five games in nine days and have three more in the next four nights. Indiana has won five of the last six meetings but the Clippers are 20-9 ATS in their last 29 games as a road favorite but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games overall and just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Indiana. Take the PACERS!

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET

Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- To my surprise the Trailblazers are actually playing better with Carmelo Anthony winning four of the six games that he has been with the club. Oklahoma City is off of an improbable win where they out-scored Minnesota 17-5 in the overtime period. Portland already has a pair of wins over the Thunder including a 136-119 home win two weeks ago. This is a different OKC team, it's a team that shares the ball as they were the first team in 15 years to have five players score at least 20 points. As coach Donovan said it 'speaks to their unselfishness.' Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Gonzaga at Washington 7:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Bulldogs- The Battle for the Great Northwest will take place in Seattle where No. 22 Washington will host No. 9 Gonzaga. The Huskies hold a 29-18 series edge that started in 1910 but the Bulldogs have won 12 of the last 13 meetings. The Zags are just 2-5 ATS in road games and as road favorites while the Huskies are just 1-5 ATS in their last six as home underdogs. Washington's only loss came against No. 20 Tennessee in Toronto but they posted a win overNo. 16 Baylor 67-64 while Gonzaga's lone loss came against Michigan in Atlantis. Take WASHINGTON!

Atlanta at Charlotte 5:00 ET

Hawks (+) over Hornets- This 'line' looks a little shy to me! Charlotte has won seven straight home games against Atlanta who is just 2-9 on the road and is 8-1-1 in the last 10 meetings over the Hawks in Charlotte. The Hornets are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as home favorites. Trae Young is relentless and give the Hornes fits...take ATLANTA!

Denver at Brooklyn 3:00 ET

Nets (+) over Nuggets- Denver enters this fray 14-6 winning at a 70% clip and are 6-3 SU on the road but are just 3-8 ATS against a team with a winning home record. The Nets meanwhile, keep winning with the 'Flat-World' scholar Kyrie Irving out and are 8-3 SU since he went down. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Brooklyn and 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall. Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 13-6 ATS at home against teams with winning road records. Take BROOKLYN!

Penn State at Ohio State 12:00 ET

Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio Shocked the ACC world by going to North Carolina and dismantling the No. 7 Tar Heels 74-49 to move to 8-0 on the season. Both these clubs pride themselves on their defense as Ohio State holds their opponents 10-points below their season's average and the Lions allow just 61.8 points per game. Coming off of such a huge win over Carolina the Buckeyes should be a bit full of themselves and may get caught in a Big Ten conference game. Take PENN STATE!

LA Lakers at Portland 10:35

Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles is rebounding this season from their awful season last year and is tied with Milwaukee at 19-3 with the best record in the NBA. Portland has moved in the opposite direction this season and are already 10-games behind the Lakers this season and with the pick-up of Carmelo Anthony things are not going to get much better. But, there is one thing the Trailblazers have always been able to do and that is handle the Lakers when no one else could. Portland is 23-10 ATS in the last 33 meetings against the Lakers in Portland and 45-20 ATS overall in the ,last 65 meetings. Take PORTLAND!

Denver at Boston 8:05 ET

Nuggets (+) over Celtics- There will be a clash of trends when these two met as the Celtics are undefeated (8-0) SU at home and Denver is 6-2 SU on the road. Boston deposed of Miami Wednesday night while the Nuggets trounced the Knicks 129-92 at New York last night. Denver has a victory over the Celtics defeating them 96-92 at home two weeks ago and have won the past three meetings and five of the last seven and are 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take DENVER!

Indiana at Detroit 7:00 ET

Pistons (+) over Pacers- This is the fourth and final meeting of the NBA season between these two with the Pistons having won the first two meets and Indiana posted a 112-106 at home back in the first week on November. The Pacers are 14-4 since their second loss to the Pistons but are just 1-4 ATS as a road favorite of 4.5-points or less and 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to the Motor City. Take DETROIT!

Orlando at Cleveland 7:05 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Magic- Orlando has won three straight and have score season high's in points scored in their last two contests defeating Washington and Phoenix. The Magic have won five of the last six meetings while Cleveland has dropped four in-a-row and 10 of their last 11 play one game specially tough against Milwaukee. Despite having a SU series edge the Magic are just 8-18-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Orlando defeated the Cavs in Cleveland nine days ago 116-104 and the Cavaliers bounce back here. Take CLEVELAND!

Brooklyn at Charlotte 7:05 ET

Hornets (+) over Nets- Boston seems to be better this season without Kyrie Irving and so are the Nets. Brooklyn has moved to 8-3 in the 11 games Irving has been sidelined and they are just 3-7 SU in games in which he has played. Brooklyn has had the best of this series of late going 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings overall and 8-2 ATS at Charlotte. But, the Hornets are now 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and they are 8-3 ATS as a home underdog of 4.5-points or less. Take CHARLOTTE!

Sacramento at Portland 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Trailblazers- This is another contest where the 'number' appears to be a invite to lay the points as Portland has dominated this series having won 11 straight in the series. The Kings have managed to go 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips to Portland. The Kings will have Bogdan Bogdanovic available and the Blazers lose teamwork with Carmelo Anthony added to the squad. Take SACRAMENTO!

Minnesota at Dallas 8:30 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- Dallas without question has had the biggest turn-around season as they are 14-6 70% this year compared to being below .500. Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis are a combo that Dallas opponents are having difficulty handling. Minnesota has also taken great strides this year and has played better than expected going 7-2 SU and ATS on the road. This 'price' seems awful cheap and unless you realize the Wolves are 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings. Take MINNESOTA!

Indiana at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Thunder over Pacers- Since starting the season 0-3, Indiana is 13-4 and have won six of their last seven. This is the second and final meetings between these two as the Pacers destroyed Oklahoma City 111-85 four weeks ago in Indiana. The Thunder are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games against teams with winning records and they are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take the THUNDER!

Duke at Michigan State 9:30 ET

Spartans (-) over Blue Devils- The Big Ten/ACC Challenge continues in East Lansing tonight as No.8 Duke (7-1) is up against No.12 Michigan State. To start with this 'price' seems a bit high for a lower ranked team favored like this against a Top-10 ranked club especially when you consider that Duke is 4-0 in this Challenge matchup and that the Blue Devils are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 against the Big Ten. Michigan State is 18-8 ATS in their last 26 home games and should be able to handle a team that lost at home to Stephen F. Austin. This is the first true road game for Duke and they will play accordingly. Take MICHIGAN STATE!

Dallas at New Orleans 7:30 ET

Pelicans (+) over Mavericks- The past two year's the Mavericks have been a doormat for the rest of the NBA but this season due to some brilliant player moves that has Dallas playoff bound. They have won seven of eight both SU and ATS and are 7-2 SU and ATS on the road this season. New Orleans has dropped five straight going 1-4 ATS with their lone cover against the Lakers. Dallas took the first meeting this season winning 123-116 at home as a 2-point underdog and are now favored on the road. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Detroit at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Pistons- A pair of Eastern bottom feeders matchup in Cleveland where the lowly Pistons a playoff squad last season challenge the Cavaliers. Detroit is off of their highest scoring game of the year defeating San Antonio 132-98 at home having lost eight of their previous 10 while the Cavs have dropped three straight and nine of their last 10. Detroit has won just one of 10 road games going 1-8-1 ATS and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games in Cleveland. Take CLEVELAND!

Northwestern at Boston College 7:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Eagles- A pair of struggling clubs that don't have much of a resume to date where Northwestern is 3-3 with losses to Merrimack and Radford by double-digits on their home floor and Boston College has lost three straight and four of five and are 0-5 ATS in that span. Consider this, The Eagles have Notre Dame up next and be it football, basketball or pitching pennies when those two Jesuits schools meet it is like a Holy War. BC is distracted...Take NORTHWESTERN!

Chicago and Sacramento 10:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Kings- Chicago is trying to find the proper mix of p[layers as they continue to rearrange their starting lineup. Sacramento has also done some juggling with their starting lineup as the injury to Marvin Bagley III has given a number of bench players more playing time. The Bulls have dropped their last three and seven of their last nine while the Kings are off of an emotional overtime win over Denver on Saturday and most likely won't have the same intensity against the Bulls. Take CHICAGO!

Wake Forest vs Arizona 9:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Wildcats- No.14 Arizona is an impressive 8-0 on the season going 5-3 ATS and are striving for their first Wooden Legacy in Anaheim, California. Wake Forest is a respectable 5-2 on the season and 3-0 SU and ATS on neutral sites. The last time these two met was in New York 15 years ago so their should be little motive for revenge as the Deacons prevailed 63-60 as a beaten 6-point favorite. This time it stays close once again. Take WAKE FOREST!

Utah at Toronto 6:00 ET

Jazz (+) over Raptors- The defending NBA Champion Toronto Raptors haven't felt the impact of losing Kawhi Leonard as of yet as they have won six straight and are running neck and neck with the division leader Milwaukee. They are a perfect 8-0 SU at home and an impressive 7-1 ATS as hosts and have dominated the Jazz going 5-1 ATS at home and 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. What bothers me here is that with this outstanding record the Raptors have against Utah is why is the line so low? Take UTAH!

San Antonio at Detroit 5:00 ET

Pistons (-) over Spurs- Two of the NBA's weaker teams who not only have trouble winning straight-up but ATS as well. The once proud San Antonio Spurs have won just seven of 20 games played and are an atrocious 5-15 ATS including 2-7 ATS on the road. Detroit hasn't been any better winning seven of 10 and going 6-12-1 ATS. Of the Spurs wins only one has come against a team with a winning record and that happened their last time out defeating the Clippers 107-97. Although San Antonio is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings they ere a different team then and the Pistons are 5-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing record. Take DETROIT!

Dallas and Phoenix 9:00 ET

Suns (+) over Mavericks- A pair of the NBA's most vastly improved clubs clash in Phoenix will host the Mavericks. The Suns who are 5-6 SU at home have dropped their last two and admit that they need better focus. Phoenix surprisingly enough has a huge series edge and are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Phoenix. Take the SUNS!

Charlotte at Detroit 7:00 ET

Pistons (-) over Hornets- All I really have to say is that the Hornets must be really bad to be such a heavy underdog against a team that has lost twice as many games (6-12) as they have won. Detroit who is 6-11-1 ATS on the year have played better at home going 5-3 SU and ATS. Charlotte is just 3-7 SU on the road but have won the last three meetings in the Motor City but are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games. Take the PISTONS!

Toronto at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Raptors- Here are the defending NBA Champion Raptors once again not getting any respect and they are 13-4 SU this season and a neat 11-6 ATS. Orlando meanwhile is showing us the same old stuff going 7-10 SU and 6-10-1 ATS and return home after a 1-3 road trip. Toronto is on a five-game win streak and come up a measly 4-points and although they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Orlando. Take the MAGIC!

Oklahoma City at Portland 10:00 ET

Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- Portland posted their first win with Carmelo Anthony at Chicago Monday routing the Bulls 117-94 as 'Melo' poured in 25 points. Both these clubs have just six wins on the season with the Blazers going 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS while Oklahoma City is 1-6 SU on the road but 10-6 ATS on the year. The Thunder won two regular season games at Portland last season but lost all three in the playoffs. OKC is 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the THUNDER!

L.A. Lakers at New Orleans 9:30 ET

Pelicans (+) over Lakers- The return of Anthony Davis to New Orleans will create a stir in the Crescent City as he spent seven years with the Pelicans and now is part of the team with the best record in the NBA. The Lakers have won their last eight SU while New Orleans has dropped their last two and are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 4-1 ATS as hosts against the Lakers. The Pelicans are better than most give them credit for and the respond tonight. Take NEW ORLEANS!

New York Knicks at Toronto 7:35 ET

Knicks (+) over Raptors- New York once again is in the mist of a losing streak at three and travel to the Great White North to play the defending NBA champions. Toronto took all four meetings last season by an average of 20.5 points but their in a different make-up of this year's squad (no Leonard of course). The Raptors are 7-0 SU at home and 6-1 ATS and will be looking past the Knicks. TakeTORONTO!

Mississippi vs Penn State 5:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State who has been on the wrong end of more basketball decisions then they would like to admit are 5-0 and 4-1 ATS after getting by Yale 58-56 to open the season. Mississippi at 4-1 incurred their lone loss to No.20 Memphis 87-86 (Money Game winner) as the live and die with the 3-pointer. The Rebels throw up 20 3-pointers a game and are shooting 46% overall. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Wisconsin vs New Mexico 5:00 ET

Lobos (+) over Badgers- Just like in football this season Wisconsin is not up too the usual standard that we expect out of this program. Monday, the Badgers fell 62-52 against Richmond and shooting a season low 34% from the floor and committed a season -high 15 turnovers. New Mexico on the other hand is 15th in the nation in field goal percentage at 51.5 and have five players scoring in double figures. Take the LOBOS!

Brigham Young vs. UCLA 11:30 ET

Cougars (+) over Bruins- Ah Hawaii, the site of the Maui Jim Maui Invitational pits a pair of West coast clubs from California and Utah clash in a neutral setting. ULCA is coming off of a 1-point loss to Hofstra and I am pissed that 'we' passed by it but the story be told the Bruins are not a powerhouse this season. BYU is also off of a loss but their's came in overtime against Boise State.UCLA coach Mick Cronin admitted that the Bruins got exposed by the Flying Dutchman. Take BYU!

L.A. Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Spurs (+) over Lakers- Without question (in my mind) the Lakers are the most improved team in the NBA with LeBron running the point. James is such a dominating player that he now controls the entire tempo and flow of the game. San Antonio is the worst ATS team in the NBA (4-13) and are just 1-7 ATS at home. The Spurs just ended an eight-game losing streak with a win over the Knicks in New York and hopefully for them they are out of their funk. The Lakers are 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings and 1-4 ATS in their last 5-games overall. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Minnesota at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Timberwolves- Things were looking so good for the Timberwolves starting the season 7-4 but injuries to key players have seen them lose four of their last five. Minnesota has five different players sidelined or hobbled while the Hawks have been grounded losing 12 of their last 14 SU and ATS. Only Golden State has less wins (3) than Atlanta and New York who have four each. Despite their overall record the Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games against teams with winning records and the Wolves are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four meetings. Take ATLANTA!

Brooklyn at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Nets- So, it appears that the Celtics are not the only team that has benefited from a players departure (addition by subtraction) as they are so much better without Kyrie Irving than with him and Brooklyn is 4-1 during his absence. Cleveland is looking to win two straight for just the second time this season and are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against the Nets. Cavaliers leading scorer and rebounder Kevin Love is expected by tonight after missing the second of back-to-back games Saturday. Take CLEVELAND!

Phoenix at Denver 8:00 ET

Nuggets (-) over Suns- Denver at 11-3 has won four straight and 8-of-9 straight-up while goin 6-2 SU and 3-5 ATS at home. Phoenix has risen this season and is not only 8-7 SU but 10-5 ATS on the season including 4-1 ATS on the road. The Nuggets have won their first two of their four-game home stand defeating both Houston and Boston. Denver has won 10 of the last 14 meetings ATS and are 6-2 ATS at home. Take the NUGGETS!

rooklyn at New York 6:05 ET

Knicks (+) over Nets- New York is playing the second of a pair of back-to-backs and have dropped their last two including last night's loss against San Antonio. Brooklyn has won three of four without injured Kyrie Irving and have won their last two but have been disappointing so far this season. The Knicks haven't had much success against many team sin the NBA but they are 7-2 ATS against the Nets in the last nine meetings. Take NEW YORK!

Villanova vs Baylor 5:00 ET

Bears (+) over Wildcats- No. 16 Villanova doesn't appear to be as strong as recent seasons past but they are 4-1 SU and have won six straight in season tournaments. Balance is the key for the Wildcats posting six different players in double figures lead by Robinson-Earl with 14.2 points per game. After playing his worst game of the season the Bears leading scorer Jared Butler is looking to bounce back in a big way. Take BAYLOR!

Dallas at Houston 3:30 ET

Rockets (-) over Mavericks- The Rockets have dropped their last two games at Denver and LA Clippers after having won eight straight with seven 'covers.' Houston returns home where they are 4-0 ATS in their last four and are 9-4 ATS against the Mavericks. Dallas has been impressive both at home and on the road where they are 4-2 both SU and ATS averaging more points on the road 118.3 than Houston does at home 118.1. Look for the rebound here for the home team. Take HOUSTON!

Miami vs Connecticut 1:00 ET

Hurricanes (+) over Huskies- Connecticut has been good to 'us' covering twice as an underdog getting the money against Xavier (+4.5) 74-75 and (+4) OUTRIGHT over Florida. Miami is well coached behind Jim Larranaga while the Huskies will now counter with Danny Hurley. Connecticut finds them selves in a different role here as the favorite and it may be a bit too much. Take MIAMI!

Portland at Cleveland 8:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Trailblazers- 'What a difference a day makes 24-little hours,' okay maybe a year but the difference between this year's version of the Trailblazers and last season are like night and day. Portland enters this contest on a 3-game losing streak and have won just 4-of-11 on the road. Cleveland who has shown signs of life this season have dropped six straight with four losses coming on the road and the other two against Philly and Miami. Carmelo Anthony being added to the Blazers can only hurt in the long run. Take CLEVELAND!

San Antonio at New York 7:30 ET

Knicks (+) over Spurs- New York has made the playoffs but twice in the last 20 years and the whole time they keep wishing that they could play like the Spurs, well, now they can. San Antonio has lost eight straight the longest losing streak of Gregg Popovich's career as they stumble into New York 5-11. The Knicks have shown some life winning a pair out of their last four. Take NEW YORK!

Mississippi at Memphis 1:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Tigers- Okay, we all know the story by now that James Wiseman's NCAA career will probably be less then 20 games after his 12-game suspension was handed down. No. 20 Memphis and has just one upperclassman on the floor and will mature as the season progresses. Mississippi is 4-0 and this 'price' is very short as they have won all four games by double-digits.Take MISSISSIPPI!

Xavier at Connecticut 9:30 ET

Huskies (+) over Musketeers- Connecticut is returning to the Big East in 2020 and gets to face a future conference opponent with No. 21 ranked Xavier in Charleston, SC. The Musketeers are 5-0 SU but only 1-4 ATS and are playing Connecticut for the first time since 1990-91 NCAA Tournament before they joined and after the Huskies left the conference. UConn coach Dan Hurley has the Huskies on the upswing...take CONNECTICUT!

Boston at Denver 9:00 ET

Nuggets (-) over Celtics- The Celtics are off and running posting an 11-3 record including 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 overall and are 6-3 SU on the road. So. It looks like addition by subtraction as Boston appears to be a better team without Kyrie Irving (who is destroying the Nets chances) was defeated by the Clippers in overtime last time out and have dropped 2-of-3 since having their 10-game winning streak ended by Sacramento Sunday. Boston is 1-4-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take DENVER!

Houston at Oregon 9:00 ET

Cougars (+) over Ducks- No. 11 Oregon is meeting all expectations at 4-0 and last played Sunday as they crushed under-manned Texas Arlington 67-47 and Houston is off a 97-89 win over cross-town rival Rice. Last season the Cougars drowned the Ducks in Houston taking a 20-point lead and held on for a 65-61 victory. Both clubs have been hit hard by graduation but have reloaded this prized recruits this season. This should come down to the final horn. Take HOUSTON!

L.A. Lakers at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Thunder (+) over Lakers- Heee's Baaack! Yep, LeBron James despite what else you see going on in the NBA with Harden, Westbrook, Leonard, Giannis and Donic, LeBron James is once again dominating the play and the result virtually every time out. This is a rematch of Tuesday's meeting between these two as the Lakers defeated the Thunder 112-107 as James posted a triple-double. LA is 6-13 SU in Oklahoma City and just 2-10-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings at OKC. Take the THUNDER!

Miami at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Heat- At 10-3 Miami has surprised the pundits and are running away with the NBA Southeast Division already leading the Magic by five-games in the loss column. The Heat have won four straight and have matched their best start in franchise history. Chicago just ended a 3-game losing streak with a 20-point win over Detroit and are looking for their first pair of consecutive wins this season. The Bulls are 3-5 straight-up at home but are 4-4 ATS when playing as hosts and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Last year the road team took all three meetings this season it's turn-about. Take CHICAGO!

Utah State vs Louisiana State 7:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Aggies- No. 16 Utah State enters this fray in Montego Bay in the Caribbean 5-0 and 3-2 ATS while LSU is 3-1 and trying to reload after losing seven contributors from last year's Sweet-16 club. Returning for the Tigers is coach Will Wade who was suspended for recruiting improprieties along with senior guard Skyler Mays leading a top-6 rotation. Take LOUISIANA STATE!

New Orleans at Phoenix 10:30 ET

Pelicans (+) over Suns- New Orleans has won two straight for the first time this season as they look to pick themselves up after a slow and injury plagued start. Phoenix is raising from the depths of the NBA basement this season and is not only 7-6 SU but also 9-4 ATS on the year. But, the Suns are playing under clouds now as they have dropped their last two and three of four with their lone win coming against the lowly Hawks. The Pelicans are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings including 5-1 ATS at Phoenix. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET

Magic (+) over Raptors- Toronto closed their five game road trip with a pair of losses but returned home rebounded with a huge 132-96 win over Charlotte. Orlando is off of a 4-1 home stand and looking to avenge a 104-95 loss to the Raptors back in October but are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Toronto usually takes a 'break' after scoring more than 125 points going 2-12 ATS in their next encounter and they are without Kyle Lowry this time.Take ORLANDO!

Charlotte at Brooklyn 7:30 ET

Hornets (+) over Nets- One of the more disappointing team to date has been the play of the Brooklyn Nets. With all the off-season trades and signing the upstart Nets have fallen upon old habits of mediocrity. Both clubs are coming off of their worst losses of the season and at least the Nets can say Kyrie Irving didn't play. The teams have split their last four meetings but the Nets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Tonight it is the Hornets turn. Take CHARLOTTE!
