08-22-20	Lakers -7.5 v. Blazers		116-108	Win	100	9 h 30 m	Show
L.A. Lakers vs Portland 8:30 ET Lakers (-) over Trailblazers- Portland is the team that many feel can knock the Lakers out of the playoffs as they have given Los Angeles fits over the years going 47-23 ATS in the last 70 regular season meetings. But, this is the playoffs and the Lakers got their 'wakeup' call in Game 1 which was their sixth straight ATS loss to the Blazers. Lillard is hurting and LA gets serious. Take the LAKERS!

08-21-20	Clippers v. Mavs +5		130-122	Loss	-102	10 h 42 m	Show
L.A. Clippers vs Dallas 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- Dallas closed out an impressive win over the Clippers despite 35 points from Leonard as the Mavs shot 45% from 3-point land. L.A. Has been consistent in as much that them bounce back from defeat as they are 19-7 after an ATS loss and more impressively are 8-1 ATS after bad loss of over 10 points. But, after Porzingis was thrown out of Game one overtime loss the Mavericks came together. Take DALLAS!
08-21-20	Celtics v. 76ers +6	Top	102-94	Loss	-107	8 h 0 m	Show
Boston vs Philadelphia 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- It really doesn't look the 76ers can play with Boston in this series. Joel Embiid is a one man gang but that hasn't been enough as they have dropped the first two scoring 101 points in both losses. The Sixers bench has not picked up the slack left since Ben Simmons went down but I expect more from them in Game 3. Philly is 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Take PHILADELPHIA!
08-20-20	Blazers v. Lakers -6.5		88-111	Win	100	10 h 22 m	Show
Portland vs L.A. Lakers Lakers (-) over Trailblazers- Was it me or do the Lakers seem 'distant' or shall I say distracted as they never were able to exploit their dominating talent. The fact that it has been Portland that has given Los Angeles its biggest trouble over the years as they hold a 47-22 ATS advantage in the last 69 meetings. But, playoff action hasn't been kind to the Trailblazers as they are 11-26-2 ATS in their last 39 Conference Quarterfinal games. The Lakers are 0-6 ATS in their last six including the last five in the bubble. It's time to rise and shine. Take the LAKERS! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-20-20	Magic v. Bucks -12.5		96-111	Win	100	7 h 9 m	Show
Orlando vs Milwaukee 6:00 ET Bucks (-) over Magic- The Magic preformed a trick in Game 1 that few though possible as they un set the league's No. 1 seed 122-110. Orlando scored Milwaukee in every offensive category as the Bucks just didn't have the fire needed to win in the NBA. The Magic have been playing well and are 7-2 as underdogs and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 overall. But, Milwaukee is 5-0 ATS after a double-digit loss and 9-4 ATS as playoff favorites. Add that they are 31-14 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the BUCKS! Thank You and Good Luck!
08-20-20	Thunder +2.5 v. Rockets	Top	98-111	Loss	-110	5 h 55 m	Show
Oklahoma City vs Houston 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- Houston did their thing in Game 1 taking 52 3-point shots and when they are falling they are difficult to beat. The surprising Thunder weren't expected to be where they are at this time and will be ready for the Rockets who the have defeated five of the last six meetings. OKC has been under-rated all season and is 41-20 ATS in their last 61 games as underdogs and 10-2 ATS following a loss of 10 points. Houston is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as favorites and 4-9 after scoring more than 100 points. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-19-20	76ers +4.5 v. Celtics	Top	101-128	Loss	-105	8 h 56 m	Show
Philadelphia vs Boston 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- The Celtics were able to pull off a Game 1 win by outscoring the 76ers 34-20 after falling behind 81-75 early in the fourth quarter. That was Boston's second win in five tries against Philadelphia who will once again be without Ben Simmons while the Celts lost the services of Gordon Hayward who went down with a bad ankle sprain. The point spread trends are heavy on Boston but the Sixers need to show up here. Take PHILADELPHIA! There is a transmission issue...take PHILADELPHIA
08-18-20	Blazers v. Lakers -5.5	Top	100-93	Loss	-110	17 h 15 m	Show
Portland vs L.A. Lakers 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- While Portland was scratching and clawing for their play-in opportunity the Lakers guaranteed the No 1 seed in the West played uninspired ball with numerous players 'resting' as they lost four of their final five. The Trailblazers have had an emotional run during the restart that will drain their energy. They don't have a glorious playoff record as they are 4-9-1 ATS as a playoff underdog and just 10-26-2 ATS in 38 Conference Quarterfinal games. But, Portland does come to play when the Lakers are their opponent as they are 46-22 ATS in the last 68 meetings overall and that a good size sample. The Los Angeles 'numbers' are all negative as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 after a 10-point loss. Playing possum...we will see. Take the LAKERS! If this message is garbled play is LAKERS!
08-18-20	Heat -4.5 v. Pacers		113-101	Win	100	6 h 8 m	Show
Miami vs Indiana 4:00 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- This is like one of those NCAA seeding deals where one team is ranked above another and yet they show up as an underdog when they meet. Well, Indiana finished 1-game ahead of the Heat yet on a neutral site they are rated the underdogs. Granted they are only one game apart and that is why this game should be closer to a pick-em. When I see the Pacers are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings I begin to wonder what going on. Maybe because the Heat are 22-8 ATS after a straight-up loss and 31-15-2 ATS after an ATS loss. But, hey Indiana has something to cheer about as they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take the PACERS! Take MIAMI!
08-17-20	Mavs +6 v. Clippers		110-118	Loss	-105	26 h 20 m	Show
Dallas vs L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- Dallas who is 3-5 in Orlando enters this fray off two losses while the Clippers were 5-3 winning their last two. The Mavericks are a team that draws a lot of attention as they sparkle on the court at times but don't always deliver in pressure situations as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as playoff underdogs and just 3-8 in their last 11 in Conference Quarterfinals. L.A. is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings including a 126-111 win in Orlando and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as favorites. But, there is one glaring negative trend that should be addressed as the Clippers are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 playoff game as favorites. Mavericks worth the ride...take DALLAS! If you CAN NOT read the above it is a transmission error...Take DALLAS.
08-17-20	76ers +5.5 v. Celtics	Top	101-109	Loss	-104	25 h 57 m	Show
Philadelphia vs Boston 3:30 ET Celtics 76ers – The way these two came into this game may be the telling a tale one way or another. Philadelphia was 4-4 during the restart losing three straight before closing by crushing Houston a club missing all their firepower. The Sixers of course will be without Ben Simmons but that just gives Joel Embiid more room to roam. Boston was 5-3 in Orlando and totally laid down in their final game getting beat by the winless (0-7) Wizards. That scares me is I believe the Celtics will be ready to play and I have doubts about the Sixers after routing the Rockets on the final day as they are 0-6 following a win of 10-points or greater. But, Philly is 4-1 ATS as playoff underdogs but are just 5-12 ATS in the last 17 meetings with Boston. The Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 Conference Quarterfinal games. Tough call but the public sentiment and money is on the Celtics. In a surprise. Take PHILADELPHIA!
08-17-20	Nets +9.5 v. Raptors		110-134	Loss	-108	22 h 55 m	Show
Raptors (-) over Nets- The reigning NBNA champs showed that they are ready for the real deal going 7-1 in the 'bubble' but I see plenty of Nets 'action' here. As well I should as they are 5-0 ATS in the last five as underdogs. The Raptors are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overfall and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 in NBA Playoff Conference Quarterfinal action. Usually there will be one blowout in opening games and I just hope this is the one. Take TORONTO!
08-15-20	Grizzlies +6.5 v. Blazers	Top	122-126	Win	100	16 h 26 m	Show
Memphis vs Portland 2:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Trailblazers- Portland has gone 6-2 in Florida while the Grizzlies lost their first four and then split the final four so they were 2-6 SU. This is a curious playoff situation as the Trailblazers only have two win one of a possible pair of games while Memphis must win both game to advance. It would be the other way around as these two met in the opening of the restart and Memphis blew a huge lead and lost in OT 140-135 otherwise the Blazers would be the one needing to win twice. Portland is 6-13-1 vARTS when playing a sub-500 team and like an old friend once said to me I can win twice and lose only once if I play the team facing elimination. Take MEMPHIS! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-09-20	Rockets v. Kings +6		129-112	Loss	-110	9 h 6 m	Show
Houston vs Sacramento 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Rockets- I like Houston in this little shoot-around of eight games before it all hits the fan. They are 3-1 since the restart including a Megabucks win for us over the Lakers last time out. Sacramento is seeded last and has lost four of five and are certainly out of it and could only be a spoiler. The Rockets are pretty much locked into the third seed and are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites while the Kings are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. Take SACRAMENTO!
08-09-20	76ers +3.5 v. Blazers	Top	121-124	Win	100	8 h 47 m	Show
Philadelphia vs Portland 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Trailblazers- The media types are going crazy as they believe that the 76ers are in trouble now that Ben Simmons is out. What they should realize is that Philadelphia plays better when either Simmons or Joel Embiid are out. The floor just may not be big enough for both of them to be on it at the same time. Portland's loss to the Clippers yesterday leaves them a half-game ahead of San Antonio and Phoenix for the final play-in berth. The Blazers are 5-11-1 ATS when playing on one days rest. Take PHILADELPHIA!
08-09-20	Spurs v. Pelicans -3		122-113	Loss	-115	4 h 13 m	Show
San Antonio vs New Orleans 3:30 ET Pelicans (-) over Spurs- San Antonio must win there remaining three games to get into the NBA Playoffs for a record 23rd consecutive season and even if they do the numbers just don't add up. Memphis who admittedly is in poor shape needs win just one of their remaining three games to eliminated the Spurs and the Trailblazers already have two more wins. The Pelicans had great momentum before the break but the shortened schedule an injuries have taken them down a peg. Spurs are 2-8 ATS playing on one day's rest while New Orleans takes advantage of weaker teams as they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with losing records. Take the PELICANS!
08-08-20	Suns v. Heat +2	Top	119-112	Loss	-110	8 h 14 m	Show
Phoenix vs Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Suns- Phoenix is brimming with confidence having posted four straight wins since the restart and now trail the final playoff spot by two games but there are four different teams ahead of them. Miami has a one-game lead over the Pacers and 76ers for the fourth seed in the East and are 21-5 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Suns. Add the Phoenix is 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games as favorites. Take MIAMI!
08-08-20	Lakers -6.5 v. Pacers		111-116	Loss	-110	7 h 34 m	Show
L.A. Lakers vs Indiana 6:00 ET Lakers (-) over Pacers- With the No. 1 seed locked up in the West the Lakers have been sleep-walking through the restart and are 2-3 since. The Pacers are in the fifth spot one-game behind the Heat who they play twice in the next three games. Focus for Indiana might be off and the Lakers need a strong performance. Take LOS ANGELES!
08-08-20	Jazz +1.5 v. Nuggets		132-134	Loss	-100	4 h 9 m	Show
Utah vs Denver 3:30 ET Jazz (+) over Nuggets- Denver trails the Clippers by two-games in the loss column with four to play as they via for the second seed and they lead the hot Rockets by just one-game. Both clubs have been playing with a number of starters missing and I mean three of four starters for each club. The Jazz can move up at least two spots with a strong finish. Take UTAH!
08-07-20	Celtics +2.5 v. Raptors	Top	122-100	Win	100	10 h 3 m	Show
Boston vs Toronto 9:00 ET Celtics over Raptors- Toronto is 3-0 since the restart and have won seven straight overall. Boston is just 2-2 since the restart but are 2-1 against the raptors this season and are 14-4 ATS inn their last 18 games as an underdog. Toronto is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five as favorites but...Take BOSTON!
08-07-20	Magic +4.5 v. 76ers		101-108	Loss	-100	7 h 17 m	Show
Orlando vs Philadelphia 6:30 ET Magic (+) over 76ers- Sixers All-Star Benn Simmons is now out indefinitely with a dislocated kneecap and believe it or not Joel Embiid was seen smiling. It is well known the two have struggled when playing together on the court and are not exactly friendly as teammates. Meanwhile, Orlando needs just one win to clinch a playoff spot and like Philadelphia will be without a main cog as Aaron Gordon is expected to miss this one. Take ORLANDO! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-07-20	Thunder v. Grizzlies +5		92-121	Win	100	5 h 32 m	Show
Oklahoma City vs Memphis 4:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Thunder- Memphis began the restart 32-33 and have lost four straight games in Orlando and now they have no margin for error. The grizzlies thought the restart schedule put them in an unfavorable position with their close competitors getting an easier ride. Regardless they must win now against one of the NBA's biggest surprises in OKC who just destroyed the Lakers 105-86. I expect a bit of a lull tonight and for the Grizzlies to growl. Take MEMPHIS!
08-06-20	Lakers v. Rockets +1	Top	97-113	Win	100	9 h 28 m	Show
L.A. Lakers vs Houston 9:00 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- It appears to me that the Lakers are just going to sleepwalk through these eight games in Orlando before the playoffs start and the Rockets have been up and down as well. But, understanding all of that it's difficult for me to see how the Lakers can be a virtual pick'em against this Houston team. Note that L.A. is 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a favorite and the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Take HOUSTON!
08-06-20	Heat v. Bucks -8.5		116-130	Win	100	4 h 23 m	Show
Miami vs Milwaukee 4:00 ET Bucks (-) over Heat- What is going with the Bucks they have lost 2-of-3 in Orlando five of six dating back to March, but they still have the best record in the NBA. Milwaukee is coming off of a loss to the Nets as a 19-point favorite while Miami rose to the occasion as a Megabucks winner last time out defeating the Celtics. This brings the Heat record to 8-23-1 ATS in their last 32 games following a straight-up win. The Heat are 2-0 versus the Bucks this season and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and now come up a huge underdog. Take MILWAUKEE! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-05-20	Raptors v. Magic +7	Top	109-99	Loss	-109	10 h 3 m	Show
Toronto vs Orlando 8:00 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- Toronto has started exactly the way they left off when the season was halted in March as they have won both their matchup on the restart defeating both the LA Lakers and Miami. The Raptors might have a smile on their faces as they have won the last five meetings and they are an amazing 40-14 ATS when playing on one days rest. Orlando is now 5-1 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and are 10-2 ATS in their last 11 overall. This time the worm turns. Take ORLANDO! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-05-20	Nuggets v. Spurs +3.5		132-126	Loss	-110	6 h 43 m	Show
Denver vs San Antonio 4:00 ET Spurs (+) over Nuggets- San Antonio is looking to reach the playoffs for the 23rd straight time and they are now seeded 10th after their 132-130 loss to the 76ers. The Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last four as underdogs and are 7-3 ATS against the Nuggets in the last 10 meetings. Denver is just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall and should fall short here. Take SAN ANTONIO!
08-05-20	Grizzlies +6 v. Jazz		115-124	Loss	-115	4 h 26 m	Show
Memphis vs Utah 2:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Jazz- Memphis has been struggling even before the break as they enter this contest 0-4 ATS in their last four and even worse 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Utah hasn't been all that much better as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five and just 2-13-2 ATS as favorites and 1-9-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Add the Memphis is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take the GRIZZLIES! Thank you and Good luck!
08-04-20	Celtics v. Heat +3.5	Top	106-112	Win	100	9 h 37 m	Show
Boston vs Miami 6:35 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Miami is coming off Monday's early afternoon game a loss to Toronto 107-103 and must play for the second day in-a-row. The Heat are 5-6 straight-up playing without any rest and are 0-2 against Boston this season and have lost five straight to the Celtics. Miami had a terrible shoot day against the raptors and look to atone today. Take MIAMI!
08-03-20	Lakers v. Jazz +6.5	Top	116-108	Loss	-105	10 h 24 m	Show
L.A. Lakers vs Utah 9:05 ET Jazz (+) over Lakers- The leagues best, the Lakers (it is assumed) had a rough outing last time out as LeBron James and Anthony Davis managed just 33 points between them both. L.A. has won the last four meetings ATS but Utah is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs although they are 0-8-1 ATS in their last nine following a straight-up loss. Although the Jazz are 1-1 since the restart Utah needs a solid performance to re-establish the confidence needed heading into the playoffs. Take UTAH! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-03-20	Spurs v. 76ers -7		130-132	Loss	-105	9 h 12 m	Show
San Antonio vs Philadelphia 8:05 76ers (-) over Spurs- The 76ers have to be the biggest enigma in the NBA as they appear to have a huge edge in talent over many clubs but just done seem to dominate they way most people think that should. San Antonio has two wins since the restart and has jumped from the 12th spot in the West to ninth and are two-games out of the eighth seed. The Sixers are 6-1 ATS following an ATS loss and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings while the Spurs are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take PHILADELPHIA! Thank you and Good Luck!
08-03-20	Raptors v. Heat +3.5		107-103	Loss	-100	3 h 36 m	Show
Toronto vs Miami 1:30 ET Heat (+) over Raptors- By now with all that has happened to professional sports and the world in general I wonder how many people realize that the Raptors are still the defending NBA champions. They put the league on notice with a dominating 107-95 win over the Lakers on Saturday while Miami shut down Denver 125-95 with a stifling defense. Toronto who is just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a win by 10-points or more and are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against the Heat. Take MIAMI!
08-02-20	Mavs v. Suns +6		115-117	Win	100	9 h 15 m	Show
Dallas vs Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Mavericks- Phoenix posted a win in their first game in the restart as they handled the defenseless Wizards and won easily. In their first game back Dallas went overtime and fell to the Rockets 154-149. The Mavs blew a lead late in the fourth quarter are just 1-4 ATS in their last five as favorites and are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take PHOENIX!
08-02-20	Bucks v. Rockets +5	Top	116-120	Win	100	9 h 60 m	Show
Milwaukee vs Houston 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Bucks- The Rockets opened the restart with an amazing 154-149 overtime win against Dallas and are determined to make a run at the brass ring this time around. Milwaukee has established that they are the best team in the NBA and have a win in the restart over Boston and now must meet another challenge in the high scoring Rockets. In what should be a great viewing game...take HOUSTON!
08-02-20	Kings +2.5 v. Magic		116-132	Loss	-103	6 h 22 m	Show
Sacramento vs Orlando 6:00 ET Kings (+) over Magic- Orlando had an easy time of it in their opening game of the 'second' season pounding Brooklyn in what was an early romp. The Magic are the lowest scoring team of those left to compete are currently is the 7th seed. Sacramento who lost to the Spurs first game back will be without Marvin Bagley III who has been scratched for the remainder of the season. Look for the Kings to rebound here and post a win. Take SACRAMENTO!
08-01-20	Pelicans +5 v. Clippers	Top	103-126	Loss	-106	17 h 53 m	Show
New Orleans vs. L.A. Clippers 6:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Clippers- 'We' were on winners with both these teams opening night and I'm coming back with the right side Saturday at least I believe so. Both clubs lost Thursday but the Clippers were an underdog but covered the number while the favored Pelicans lost outright to Utah. After playing tough against the Lakers the Clippers are now in the favorites role while coming off an emotional heartbreaking loss. Take NEW ORLEANS. Thank you and Good Luck.
08-01-20	Jazz +1.5 v. Thunder		94-110	Loss	-100	14 h 12 m	Show
Utah vs Oklahoma City 3:30 ET Jazz (+) over Thunder- These are the two clubs that started it all when their scheduled game on March 11 was called off because Rudy Gobert tested positive and it's all his fault...nah. The Jazz posted an outright win as our Money Game opening night winner and once against they are under dogs to team that they have a half-game edge on. Being the dog is just what Utah lovers ads they are 7-0 ATS in their last eight as underdogs while OKC is 2-5 ATS in the last seven games overall. The Thunder have pounded the Jazz going 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and I ask why is this 'price' so cheap. Take UTAH! Good Luck!
08-01-20	Heat +1.5 v. Nuggets		125-105	Win	100	12 h 40 m	Show
Miami vs Denver 1:00 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- Denver more than any other team in the NBA has had to deal with the COVID virus as not only star Nikola Jokic who was diagnosed while in Serbia and coach Michael Malone and his staff have had to deal with it and the Nuggets have some nagging injuries. Miami went into the break struggling going 5-11 ATS in this last 16 but have had time to regroup and never had to leave Florida. The Nuggets have dominated the Heat going 19-8 ATS head-to-head but come up just -1.5 here. Take MIAMI! Thank you and Good Luck.
07-31-20	Celtics +5 v. Bucks		112-119	Loss	-110	8 h 10 m	Show
Boston vs Milwaukee 6:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee entered the break with the best record in the NBA and have a 5.5 game lead over Boston who plays tough against everybody. The Celtics are 20-8 ATS as underdogs and are 20-9-1 ATS against teams with winning records and are 11-5 ATS against the Bucks. Milwaukee who is 9-4 as a favorite entered the break on a point spread dive as they were 1-5 ATS in their last six before the break. Advantage to BOSTON! Thank you and Good luck!
07-31-20	Grizzlies +3 v. Blazers	Top	135-140	Loss	-105	6 h 6 m	Show
Memphis vs Portland 4:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Trailblazers- the key number to this contest is 3½ as Portland trails the Grizzlies by that much for the 8th seed and an early post-season bye. Memphis is a single game below the .500 mark while the gimpy Trailblazers who will have Damian Lillard bothered by a foot ailment in action despite not being 100%. The Grizzlies take advantage of weaker teams as they are 9-4 ATS against teams with losing records. Portland meanwhile is 5-12-1 ATS against teams with losing records. Take MEMPHIS! Thank you and Good Luck!
07-30-20	Clippers +4.5 v. Lakers	Top	101-103	Win	100	10 h 50 m	Show
L.A. Clippers vs L.A. Lakers 9:00 ET Clippers (+) over Lakers- The top two seeds in the Western Conference face each other on re-opening night for the NBA as No.1 seeded LA Lakers host (neutral site) their cross town rivals the LA Clippers. The Lakers lead by 5.5 games but there is concern about Anthony Davis and his eye that was scratched Saturday. Both teams are most likely be with some players as the virus affects those who don't even have it (family health issues). The Clippers are the underdog here and are now only 2-1 versus the Lakers this season but are 25-6 in then last 31 meetings. Take the CLIPPERS. Thank You and Good Luck!
07-30-20	Jazz +3 v. Pelicans		106-104	Win	100	7 h 11 m	Show
Utah vs New Orleans 6:30 ET Jazz (+) over Pelicans- Four months ago when 'we' were running hot (12-2-1) Our final selection on March 12 was New Orleans at Sacramento as both teams were pulled off the court and by opportunity to go 3-0 on the day was ruined. That final pick was on the Pelicans but things have changed and my confidence in the then 'hot' Pel's has diminished. Utah has taken 2-of-3 meetings scoring at least 128 points in each meeting. Take the JAZZ! Thank You and Good Luck!
03-11-20	Knicks +4.5 v. Hawks		136-131	Win	100	9 h 32 m	Show
New York at Atlanta 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- As Trae Young goes so go the Hawks. After a pair of dismal shooting performances Young broke out with 31 points and 16 assists in the Hawks double-overtime 143-138 win over Charlotte. These two have split two games this season but the Knicks have won four of the past six meetings and are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 5-1 ATS against Atlanta.

Houston at Charlotte 5:00 ET Hornets (+) over Rockets- The big question here is, what are the Rockets going to do with the small-ball they are trying to institute into the game. The results have been inconsistent as Houston seems to beat anybody with their regular line-up but falter against the better teams when playing their 'new' version of the game. An even against the feeble they struggle on the board where the Knicks defeated them and out-rebounded them 64-34.

Utah at Boston 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Celtics- Just when it looks like the Celtics were putting it together for the stretch run they have incurred a rash of injuries that will keep Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown out of the lineup and Kemba Walker is still ailing.

L.A. Clippers at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets over Clippers- L.A. is starting to rev it up a bit as we move toward the playoffs and have won their last six games by an average of 16.5 points. The amazing thing about the Clippers is how many games they have won without either Leonard, George or Beverley in the lineup and often two or more were sidelined. Houston who put up a great win at Boston did what they do nest next time out as they laid down against the Knicks in New York. The Rockets are 2-1 over the Clippers this season and 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings overall. Take HOUSTON!

The Jazz are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall and and s shocking 6-23 ATS in the last 29 meetings against New York and 3-11 ATS at Madison Square Garden.

The Celtics have won the past three meeting this season by an average of 13.3 points but are just 1-3-1 ATS in Cleveland. There is something way 'wrong' with this 'number' as the Cavaliers will be without center Andre Drummond, guard Daruis Garland and a questionable Tristian Thompson and yet the Celtics price is the lowest between these two clubs I the last 10 meetings.

The Nets of course know what it is like to play short-handed as they have been without Kevin Durant the entire season and are now without Kyrie Irving for the remainder of the season. Brooklyn is looking to end a four-game slide and enter with a 4-game lead over Washington for the final playoff spot in the East. Take BROOKLYN!

Boston at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Celtics- Sometimes as they say 'less is more' as the supporting cast is performing at a higher level with All-Star Damian Lillard sidelined with a groin injury. Even Carmelo Anthony is beginning to look like a real NBA player as he scored a season's best 32 points last time out and CJ McCollum put up a season-high 41 points. On the other side of the coin the Celtics young phenom Jayson Tatum matched his career high of 41 points against the Lakers Sunday picking up the slack left with Kemba Walker's absence. Boston had won 12 of 14 before falling to LA and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall.

Oklahoma City at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Thunder- 'Amazing' is just about the only thing that I can say about Oklahoma City and their ATS 22-5 road record as they are the most surprising team in the NBA this season. Chicago on the other hand continues to be a bottom feeder that is more like prey as they fall deeper losing 8-of-10. Despite a 35-22 SU record the thunder are seeded sixth and I attribute most of the credit to Billy Donovan who held this team together while losing super starts Harden, Durant and Westbrook...think about that! I could continue superlatives about the Thunder and I can't even make a case for the Bulls as their trends are abhorrent. Still, they did win last time out snapping an eight game losing streak and OKC has taken 'all' the action. Take CHICAGO!

Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Bucks- This is the NBA matchup of the day as the league best meet for just the second time this season as the Milwaukee Bucks invade Toronto with an early victory at home over the Raptors 115-105 back on November 2. The Raptors of course eliminated the Bucks in the playoffs last May after Milwaukee took the first pair at home and then Toronto won Game 3 in OT and the series 4-2. The Bucks are better this year and Toronto is of course without Leonard is a notch below. It is difficult the make a case against the Bucks as they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games but just 1-5 ATS against winning teams better than 60%. Okay, here's the rub as the Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games and 4-1 ATS as underdogs. Take TORONTO!

Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Miami has established themselves as one of the more dominate teams when play at home winning 23 of 26 but don't even break even on the road losing 17 of 30.

The Cavaliers has lost eight straight times to the Heat including a 124-105 trouncing on Saturday and will seek revenge with Kevin Love returning to the lineup and Miami will be playing without their biggest impact talent Jimmy Butler. The heat are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS in their last six road games overall. Take CLEVELAND!

The Thunder have won their last two and 11 of their last 14 and play 13 of their next 20 on the road. Although San Antonio has struggled against the thunder in OKC they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. Rake SAN ANTONIO!

Washington at Chicago 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Wizards- A pair of also-rans that appear headed in opposite directions as Washington had won five of seven prior to their home loss to the Cavaliers while Chicago is in the mists of a season high eight-game losing streak. The Bulls have plenty of fight in them and sometimes it is misdirected as Zach LaVine and coach Jim Boylen going at each other before the end of the Bulls lost to the Suns Friday night. The Wizards are nothing special as they are 4-13 ATS as favorites on the road. Take CHICAGO!

Indiana at Toronto 6:00 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- Toronto who many though would take a step down after losing Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers but have played like true Champions without him. The Raptors lost their final game before the All-Star break ending a franchise record 15-game winning streak but rebounded (noticed how I fit that in) with a 118-101 win over Phoenix. Meanwhile, Indiana ended a six game losing streak with a win over Milwaukee and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. As good as the Raptors have been they are just 2-8 ATS in games following a win by 10-points or more. Take INDIANA!

Philadelphia at Milwaukee 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Bucks- This certainly is the NBA Match-up of the day as league's best to date host one of their top challengers. Milwaukee who is on pace for 70 wins is 14-games ahead of second place Indiana in the Central and are 25-3 SU at home while Philadelphia is a weak 9-19 on the road and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. The Bucks are 6-0 ATS as favorites in their last six games overall but those 'numbers' may have little to say about tonight's outcome. Having been call-out of late Joel Embiid boasted that he was the best player in the world after scoring 39 points with 19 rebounds against Brooklyn last time out on Thursday. These two clubs met Christmas Day with the 76ers winning 121-109 as Embiid had 31 points and 11 rebounds. Going against the Bucks the Sixers will have to deal with the 'other' best player in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo so this could be interesting. I expect this game to go down to the final buzzer. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- The Bulls have lost seven in-a-row including their first game after the break at home losing to Charlotte 103-93.

The Spurs who had no reps at the All-Star break will be well rested and ready to go as they are 7-2 ATS with 3 or more days rest.

The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Rake CLEVELAND!

Dallas at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Mavericks- The Dallas Mavericks is 33-22 at the break and are tied with Oklahoma City for the 7thseed in the Western Conference. The key to the Mavs resurgence has been the play of Luca Doncic who miss seven games before the break with Dallas losing five but rebounded with a 20-point win over the Kings when he returned to the lineup. Orlando who has struggled offensively posted a pair of wins before the break scoring 135 and 116 points after having lost 8-of-10. The Mavericks have had the best of the Magic winning 10 of the last 13 meetings in Orlando. Ugly trends surround the Magic as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-9 ATS overall in their last 11 as host. Still, the Mavs fall short here. Take ORLANDO!

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 8:00 ET Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is the epitome of a front runner as they are 25-2 at home where they are bullies and just 9-19 SU on the road where they play like dogs. Brooklyn who will most like play the rest of the season with Kyrie Irving who has already missed 33 of 53 games and Brooklyn has a better winning percentage without the 'World is Flat' former Superstar. Despite the absence of Irving and playing the season without Kevin Durant the Nets sit in seventh place in the playoff seeding and have won seven of their last 10 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five although they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs. Meanwhile the inconsistent 76ers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take BROOKLYN!

The Nuggets overcame a 23-point deficit defeating San Antonio on Monday while L.A. was cruising in a 125-100 win over Phoenix.

The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at home and have lost four straight to the Bucks including a pair of blowout losses this season. After all that data the line-maker has installed the Bucks as a meager favorite and I expect Indiana who is 1-5 since the return of Victor Oladipo to rise tonight. Take INDIANA!

L.A. Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Clippers- The 76ers have to be one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA with their ability to just crush opponents when playing at home and one of the most disappointing when playing on the road (9-19). The Clippers who are favored in the West have split their past six games alternating wins and losses but have won 10 of their last 13 overall. It has been over a year since these two met and both teams have a key changes since then. LA claims that Kawhi Leonard has an ailing knee and just picked up Marcus Morris to pick up the slack...it won't be enough. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Utah at Houston 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- Small ball, yeah how's that working out for ya...not so much. Look the problem with the Houston Rockets is that any team that doesn't play defense won't have the heart it takes to win in pressure situations. These two have about the same record with Houston having played and lost one more game. The Rockets had their 4-game win streak ended in Phoenix as the Suns routed Houston 127-91 (Megabucks winner) while Utah ended a six-game losing streak with a win at Portland. Despite their bad run the Jazz are 12-3-1 ATS following a straight-up win. Take UTAH!

The Knicks have already posted a 143-120 win over the Hawks as well as a 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Atlanta.

Prior to this trip the Spurs have been a winner on the road going 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 and 8-3-1 ATS as road favorites in their last 12 games.

Denver at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- Denver is feeling pretty good about themselves as they have won 12 of 17 but they are especially proud of their last win at Utah when they had just seven players available. The Nuggets should be very confident having defeated the Suns four straight and 14 of the past 16 meetings. Phoenix who is out of the playoff picture in the West once again broke a four-game losing streak against Houston last night scoring their biggest margin of victory this season winning 127-91. Denver is not only 5-11 ATS after a straight-up win they are just 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns love playing on Saturday's when they are 6-1-1 ATS. Take PHOENIX!

But, they are now 2-3 since losing All-Star guard Luka Doncic including last night's 119-119 loss at Washington. Charlotte who has been a major disappointment this season has lost four in-a-row and 12 of 13 since their overtime win at Dallas 123-120 back on January 4. Although the Mavericks are 12-3-1 iATS n their last 16 as road favorites they are playing without their key figure as there is no one to fill Doncic's shoes. Take the HORNETS!
