Dallas at Washington 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is beginning to come back to earth as injuries are starting to take their toll. Luka Doncic has missed the last three games with the Mavericks winning the first two over Atlanta and Indiana and dropping their last encounter against Memphis. Kristaps Porzingis has returned to action and posted 39 points in their loss but now is questionable after suffering a broken nose. Dallas is 17-7 SU on the road and 16-5-2 ATS and are 13-3-1 ATS as road favorites. Washington who is 11-12 at home are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as hosts and 4-1 ATS as a home underdog. Mavs hurting and Wizards playing better at home. Take WASHINGTON!

Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET

Rockets (+) over Lakers- Okay, James Harden's shooting slump is a thing of the past as he has lit up the scoreboard for 35 points or more in Houston's last three games. Houston is 2-7 ATS in their last nine games on the road but are 12-5 ATS when posted as road underdogs and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Los Angeles. The Lakers have won the past two meetings but are just 2-7 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage over 60%. Take the ROCKETS!

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both of these clubs have been perennial playoff teams that are on the outside looking in as Portland (23-28) sits in the ninth spot and San Antonio (22-28) in the tenth spot trailing Memphis who is 26-25. The Spurs are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they are displaced for a stretch of eight games and have already dropped their first two in LA to both the Lakers and Clippers. The Blazers have been inconsistent for the most part and are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games including 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite. San Antonio's play has improved after a horrid start and are 11-3-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and 6-2 in their last eight as underdogs. Take the SPURS!

New Orleans at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Pelicans- Well, Zion Williamson has made his debut and has been quite impressive shooting better than 50% in his first six game but in his last time out against Milwaukee he was held to 5-of-19 from the floor. New Orleans enters the Windy City with losses to the Bucks and Rockets while Chicago has dropped their last three all on the road and are 2-5 ATS in their last six overall. Like I had pointed out previously the Pelicans were playing better basketball before Zion's debut and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 7-2-1 ATS on the road in their last 10 but, those ATS wins all came as underdogs. Williamson is listed as questionable with a sprained toe and that drops the Pelicans a notch. The Bulls have been atrocious as a home dog going 6-20 ATS in their last 26 in that role but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Take CHICAGO!

Memphis at Dallas 8:30 ET

Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has won their last two without start Luka Doncic with Kristaps Porzingis getting back into the flow scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds against Indiana on Monday. For Memphis there has been a bonding of sorts as players have stepped-up and commented on the Andre Oguodala situation where he refuses to play for the Grizzlies. The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 following a win. Memphis meanwhile is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Take the GRIZZLIES!

Indiana at Toronto 7:30 ET

Pacers (+) over Raptors- The year long wait for the return of All-Star Victor Oladipo has been a major disappointment as they are 1-2 defeating just the Bulls in overtime before dropping their last two with Oladipo shooting a miserable 8-of-39 from the floor including 3-of-21 from beyond the arc. Toronto who has had their injured return are on an 11-game win streak and are off of a 129-102 rout of Chicago. History has not been kind to the Pacers in Toronto as they are just 12-27 ATS as visitors in this series including 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. But as of late Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games while the Raptors are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games against winning teams. Still, I expect Oladipo to return to form tonight...take INDIANA!

Golden State at Brooklyn 7:30 ET

Nets (+) over Warriors- I've said for years, 'break-up the Warriors' and see now what happens...they are playing like champions. Golden State has won their last two on the road and have had their way against the Nets winning the last eight meetings and the last four in Brooklyn. But, the overall number are not that impressive as the Warriors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Brooklyn. Now, the Nets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall but they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as home favorites and are 5-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The BROOKLYN!

Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:35 ET

Pelicans (+) over Bucks- The Pelicans started to make a positive move in early January and have only improved their with the debut of Zion Williamson added to the line-up. Milwaukee of course brings the most dynamic player in the NBA today with Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 30 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists Saturday as he led the Bucks to their 10 win in their last 11 games. The quickly improving Pelicans are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games and are 6-3 ATS in their last eight games as home dogs and 8-2 ATS in their last eight home games overall. Look for the Pels who had won three straight before Houston did them in last time out to rebound here both on boards and scoreboard. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Philadelphia at Miami 7:35 ET

76ers (+) over Heat- The NBA's two clubs with the best home records will clash in Miami where the Heat are 21-3 SU while the 76ers are 22-2 SU when hosting but take on a different hue when on the road. Philadelphia is just 9-17 SU on the road and are coming off of a beating at Boston 116-95 where Joel Embiid was just 1-for-11 shooting from the floor. Miami meanwhile was pounding the Magic at Orlando and return home where they are 15-6-1 ATS as favorites in their last 22 games while the Sixers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. But, with this line so low and Philly is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Miami and I expect them to rebound here. Take PHILADELPHIA!

New York at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers over Knicks- New York who has a better road record (7-18) than the Cavaliers have at home (6-20) return to the scene of their largest road win of the season a 107-86 over Cleveland two weeks ago. The Knicks are just 4-12 SU in their last 16 games and are most likely lottery bound like the Cavaliers who are on a 1-10 slide and yet came up favored here. Take CLEVELAND!

Golden State at Washington 7:05 ET

Warriors (+) over Wizards- 'Break-up' the Warriors,' we heard it for five years and now that they have won two straight and can put together their first 3-game winning streak of the season with a win tonight. With the exception of Curry and Thompson Golden State fielded a complete roster of healthy players for the first time this season. With the Warriors gaining confidence they are 4-1 ATS after a SU win while the Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games most of which they were receiving points. This time take GOLDEN STATE!

L.A. Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Lakers- The world's loss of Kobe Bryant has affected people all over the globe and none more than the team he spent 20-years playing for the L.A. Lakers. The Lakers didn't handle their first game out after Brant's death very well as they fell to the Trailblazers last night. Tonight, they will be playing an NBA West doormat in Sacramento who is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs. LA is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Sacramento but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and 0-4 ATS on the road against a team with a losing record. Take the KINGS!

Philadelphia at Boston 8:30 ET

76ers (+) over Celtics- Now this one has me taken back a bit as Boston has opened a meager favorite here at home and the 'price' has dwindled since. What causes my attention to peak here is the home and away records of both teams. Philadelphia as most know are a dominating 22-2 at home while posting a poor 9-16 record on the road. Boston is 19-5 SU at home and are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with winning records. The 76ers are 0-5-1 ATS as road underdogs and are not only 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings and 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Boston. This line makes no sense to me...take PHILADELPHIA!

Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Heat- Orlando has lost four straight including a 113-92 beating handed to them by Miami on Monday. The Magic who lead the NBA in scoring defense allowing 104.7 points per game but have surrendered 111 points per contest in their last nine games and they are 3-6 in that span. The Heat who are 21-3 at home are just 11-12 on the road and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against Miami and are the take here. It's ORLANDO!

Oklahoma City at Phoenix 9:00 ET

Suns (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City who is a more than respectable 14-10 straight-up on the road are an amazing 19-5 ATS and have won four in-a-row away from home outright. Phoenix who is 0-6 ATS in their last six home games are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win but they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog. Suns who have shown great strides this season played their first 30 of 32 games without former No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton who was 13-of-15 shooting with nine rebounds in their 133-104 rout at Dallas. Take PHOENIX!

Dallas at Houston 7:30 ET

Rockets (-) over Mavericks- Both of these clubs are off of losses and have the exact same season record (29-18) at this point but they are viewed by the 'public' differs. Dallas who is 16-6 SU and 14-5-2 ATS on the road are seen as an up and coming squad while the Rockets appear to have lost their edge. Houston who is being hampered by James Harden's prolonged shooting slump are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as favorites and just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings against the Mavericks. Dallas is 12-4-2 ATS as a road underdog but are just 1-5-1 ATS when playing against winning teams. In need  of a bounce back performance...take HOUSTON!  

Toronto and Detroit 7:00 ET

Pistons (+) over Raptors- Toronto has rebounded from a slew of injuries and have now won nine in-a-row and have defeated the Pistons twice this season by 12 and 13 points back in October and December. The Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall but just 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with losing records. Detroit who has played the entire season with Blake Griffin are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. Aside from the pair of losses this season to Toronto the Pistons had cashed in four straight in this series. Take DETROIT!

Utah at Denver 10:35 ET

Jazz (+) over Jazz- Oddly enough this air of better Western Conference foe are off of losses as Utah has dropped their last two including a loss at San Antonio last night and the Nuggets are off of a loss at Memphis. The Jazz had won 19 of 21 before the double losses and Denver had won 8-of-11. It appears to me that this line is a bit short as considering Nuggets are 6-0-1 after a loss and the Jazz is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Denver. But, Utah is n15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 and 6-1 ATS following a ATS loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take UTAH!

Toronto at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Raptors- The defending NBA champs are healthy again and on an eight game winning streak and get to play one of the league's perennial bottom feeders in Cleveland. The Raptors have already beaten the Cavaliers twice in Toronto and now face them on their court when they are playing their best ball of the season having won their last two games and 3-of-4 outright. As good as the Raptors are including 6-2 in their last eight games overall but are 1-6 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. Meanwhile the Cavs are 6-1 ATS at home against teams with winning record. Take CLEVELAND!

Charlotte at Washington 7:00 ET

Hornets (+) over Wizards- Charlotte managed to end an eight-game losing streak when they overcame a 13-point deficit at New York and defeated the Knicks. Washington has lost six of eight as they have allowed 152 and 151 points in each of their last two losses. It is hard enough for teams to win when so many are playing with load management but other don't need days off when they don't even make an effort in the games that they do play. Charlotte is 10-2 ATS on the road against teams with losing home records. Take the HORNETS!

Oklahoma City at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Thunder- OKC had reeled off five straight wins before falling at Dallas last night and now play the second of back-to-back games in Sacramento. The Kings have won two straight both on the road at Chicago and Minnesota after breaking a six game losing streak. The Thunder have been point spread darlings on the road going 20-7 ATS in their last 27 as visitors while Sacramento is 2-10-1 ATS at home and are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four as a home underdog. All that changes tonight...take SACRAMENTO!

Utah at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Spurs (+) over Jazz- After a horrid start San Antonio appeared to have gotten it together but have taken a step back losing their last three. The Spurs are just 9-23 ATS in their last 32 home games overall but are 14-5 ATS as a home underdog and a commanding 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings hosting Utah. The Jazz are playing well and had won 19 of 21 before getting ambushed by an injured Rockets team at home 126-117 last night and are still 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 overall. I like the way the Spurs back back after a straight-up loss and are 10-2-1 ATS in the following game. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Memphis at New York 7:30 ET

Knicks 9+) over Grizzlies- Memphis was a Megabucks winner over Denver last night and have won 10 of their last 12 games and are one-game under .500 after a 6-16 start. New York on the other hand has lost 11 of its past 14 games including last night's loss at Charlotte and are tied with Cleveland with the second worst record in the Eastern Conference. The Grizzlies have won 11 of the last 15 meetings and are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 in their last 14 games as road favorites. I expect a bit of a slip by the Griz tonight after a strong performance in their win against the Nuggets. New York is 5-1 ATSin their last six games overall and 7-3 ATS at home against a team with a losing road record. Take NEW YORK!

Phoenix at Dallas 8:30 ET

Suns (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has averaged 30 wins a season the past three years and look to match that number of victories o the season in tonight's 47th game. Phoenix has lost three of four and are 1-1 on their current six game road trip and have dropped the past three meetings they are still are 5-1 ATS as road underdogs. Although the Suns are 3-9 ATS in their last 11 overall they are 8-2 ATS over Dallas in the last 10 meetings. The Mavericks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games against a team with a straight-up losing record but just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 home games and 1-7-2 ATS after a win. Take PHOENIX!

New York at Charlotte 7:05 ET

Knicks (+) over Hornets- New York may be a couple of games behind the Hornets in the standings but they are currently playing better basketball. Charlotte has lost eight straight including a 13-point loss in Paris against Milwaukee Friday afternoon. Meanwhile the Knicks took down Brooklyn last time out and are 5-0 ATS in their last five overall and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 4-1 ATS in Charlotte. The Hornets are 2-8 ATS in their last ten games as home favorites...take the Knicks!

San Antonio at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Spurs- Behind Zach LaVine's torrid shooting streak the Bulls have won 2-of-3 and 4-of-7 as he have averaged 25.3 over that span. San Antonio is in the second of back-to-back games as they have lost their last two at home including a loss yesterday to Toronto. The Spurs are 8-3-1 in their last 13 road games but are 0-5 ATS in their last five trips the Chicago. Take the BULLS!

Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Thunder (+) over Mavericks- Oklahoma City who has won five straight and 22-of-30 and are now one-game behind division leading Dallas who have lost 2-of-3. The Mavericks are 18-5-3 ATS in their last 26 road games but are 2-6-1 ATS against teams with winning records. OKC is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall and 35-16 ATS in their last 51 games as an underdog. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Orlando at Miami 7:35 ET

Magic (+) over Heat- Both of these clubs are off of losses to the L.A. Clippers with the Magic having dropped three straight and 5-of-5 both SU and ATS. Miami's loss drops them to 20-2 SU at home and are 16-6-1 ATS at home and 21-9-2 ATS after a loss. Orlando is 5-2 ATS in their last seven road games and 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Miami and 9-4 SU in the last 13 meetings. Take ORLANDO!

Phoenix at Memphis 6:00 ET

Suns (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis improved to 9-1 SU on the road with a win Friday over lowly Detroit and have won 8-of-10 to inch closer to playoff position now No. 8. Phoenix on the other hand is 8-6 since dropping eight straight before December 29. The Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 5-0 ATS as road underdogs. The Grizzlies area tough customer at home going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games but this 'price' tells me that they are in trouble here. Take PHOENIX!

Toronto at San Antonio 4:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Raptors- San Antonio has shown some life of late posting a 3-game winning streak before getting ambushed at home against Phoenix (103-99) last time out but that loss may not be such a bad thing as they are 9-1-1 ATS following a straight-up loss. Toronto meanwhile, has won six straight with their last loss at home to the Spurs and are just 2-5 ATS against team with losing records. The head-to-head matchups are one-sided with San Antonio 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings and is 6-1 ATS against the Raptors in the last seven meetings at home. Take the SPURS!

L.A. Lakers at Philadelphia 8:30 ET

76ers (+) over Lakers- There are a lot of do's and don't I see when looking at this game. To start with Philadelphia 20-2 SU at home (12-8-2 ATS) and the Lakers are 20-4 SU on the road. Of, course with Los Angeles favored here it brings into fold some trends that can shape your opinion. To start with the Lakers are 2-5 ATS as road favorites but 9-3 ATS in their last 12 in the City of Brotherly Love but just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games but are just 1-5-1 ATS as underdogs. So where do we go with this one, no Embiid or guard Josh Richardson for the Sixers who will adjust and play a perimeter game. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Brooklyn at Detroit 7:00 ET

Pistons (+) over Nets- Expectations were high during the off-season as the Nets had signed Kevin Durant (with the understanding that he was not going to be healthy) and Kyrie Irving along with a few role players. But, Brooklyn has fallen into the abyss losing their last five and have fallen seven games below .500 losing 12 of their last 14. Kyrie (the World is Flat) Irving's play has been spotty and he's in and out of the line-up and has missed ore than half the season. Detroit is injured as well but has won six of the past nine meetings but are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last six road games...take the PISTONS!

Dallas at Utah 5:00 ET

Mavericks (+) over Jazz- Utah is making a move in the West and have climbed to the second spot behind the Lakers having won three straight and 18 of 20 and have won their last three by an average of 28.3 points. Dallas meanwhile has won four of five and are off of an easy win at Portland and are 21-6-2 in 29 road games. As a road underdog the Mavericks come to play and are 12-4-1 in that role the last 17 times playing as underdogs. Conflict arises as the Jazz are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as home favorites and 17-5 ATS in their last 22 overall. But, Utah is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with winning records. Take DALLAS!

Phoenix at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Suns (+) over Spurs- It's been a long uphill battle for the Spurs as they claw their way back to .500 having won their last three including an outright win at New Orleans Wednesday night. San Antonio has had their way against the Suns winning 30 of the last 36 straight-up but are just 9-21 ATS in their last 30 home games and 7-19 AS home favorites including 1-5 ATS against teams with losing records. Phoenix is 5-1 ATS in their last six road games including 4-0 ATS as a road underdog in their last four. Take the SUNS!

Houston at Minnesota 8:00 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Rockets- Although 'we' had Houston last time out an easy win over Denver I just love to 'fade' these Rockets. They had lost four straight and five of six with their lone win prior to Denver was a 139-109 thrashing of the Timberwolves. Karl-Anthony Towns has returned after missing 15 games with a knee injury and posted a season-high 40 points against the Bulls as Minnesota lost their seventh straight game going 1-6 ATS. Although Houston is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings they are 0-5 ATS on the road and 5-16 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. The T'wolves have been just as bad going 7-18-1 ATS at home but with the return of Towns they can measure up here. Take the TIMBERWOLVES!

Dallas at Portland 10:30 ET

Trailblazers (-) over Mavericks- Portland who has had a sub-par season to date had Damian Lillard come alive setting franchise records for scoring with 61-points and 11 3-pointers against Golden State Monday in the Blazers 129-124 overtime win Monday. The news for Dallas isn't as good as they have lost power forward Dwight Powell for the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles tendon. Dallas who was defeated by the Clippers last time out are 11-4-1 ATS after a SU loss but 0-3 in their last three road games but 6-1 ATS in their last seven visits to Portland. The Trailblazers are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and 'we' have taken advantage of that and now it's time to turn. Take PORTLAND!

L.A. Lakers at Brooklyn 8:00 ET

Nets (+) over Lakers- The Lakers continue to roll and have won 11 of their last 13 (7-5-1 ATS) but are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Brooklyn on the other hand has lost four straight and 11 of 13 since Christmas and have 'covered' just twice and have lost and failed to 'cover' eight times as an underdog. Los Angeles is 13-2 SU but just 6-9 ATS in their last 15 road games and are 4-10-1 ATS as a favorite and 1-5 ATS as a road favorite in their last six. The Nets have been terrible against the number but with the return of Caris LeVert and Kyrie Irving the Nets who are 11-11 at Barclays Center will come up big here. Take BROOKLYN!

Washington at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Cavaliers- Cleveland a team that has lost five straight and 10- of 12 comes up a small favorite against another NBA bottom feeder in the Wizards. Washington who lost in overtime against Miami last night is just 5-18 SU on the road but are a surprising 16-5 ATS in the second of Back-to-back games. The Cavaliers don't handle the favorites role very well as they are 19-39-1 ATS as home favorites in their last 59 games and they are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 following a ATS loss and just 1-4 ATS ij their last five home games. Take WASHINGTON!

San Antonio at New Orleans 8:05 ET

Spurs (+) over Pelicans- Both of these clubs had horrible start to the season as New Orleans was 7-23 and has now won 10 of their last 14 while the Spurs who started 3-0 but haven't won three straight since and had the worst point spread record in the league until there current streak and they are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games while the Pelicans are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. It head -to head action the Pelicans hold a 21-6 ATS advantage but we should note that the Spurs were favored in the majority of those games. Now, roles are reversed. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Indiana at Phoenix 9:05 ET

Suns over Pacers- Indiana had won five straight and things were going merrily along and then they ran into the Utah Jazz who beat them so bad it may take more than one game to recover over their worst loss of the season and now they feel exposed. They may have lost their mojo...Phoenix is already within one victory of last season's win total and have seem to have caught a groove. An oddity about the Pacers being 6-0 in the last six meetings all of which they are favored...not tonight Take PHOENIX!

Denver at Houston 8:05 ET

Rockets (-) over Nuggets- So, is the line-maker going to keep raising the 'price' on the Rockets no matter how bad they are playing until it becomes impossible to bet them...I wish I knew! Right now for Houston to be this kind of favorite against a team the quality of Denver is either that they are ready to rout the Nuggets or I am being 'sucker' into this play. I believe that the rout is on...take HOUSTON!

Memphis at Boston 7:35 ET

Grizzlies (+) over Celtics- The Celtics responded as 'our' Megabucks winner over the Lakers on Monday and after losing three straight and six of eight and probably will be mentally exhausted and relaxing with the 'pressure' of being a Megabucks release now off. Memphis had won seven in-a-row before getting blindsided by the Pelicans at home last time out but have still won 10 of 14. Boston has won seven straight in the series but has been inconsistent as favorites going 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall. The Grizzlies on the other hand are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs and 6-2 ATS in their last eight overall. Take MEMPHIS!

L.A. Lakers at New York 7:35 ET

Knicks (+) over Lakers- I cringe every time I consider posting the Knicks' but to tell you the true it hasn't been that bad as they are 22-22 ATS and if you pick your spots correctly and have a feel for good and bad you can make some money. LA has won eight of 10 with the loss last time as the Celtics handed them their worst lost in the series history meanwhile New York beat Cleveland and the come out of losing eight of nine with one of those losses in LA to the Lakers 117-87. Look for a more concerted effort out of the Knicks tonight. Take NEW YORK!

L.A. Clippers at Dallas 8:30 ET

Clippers (+) over Mavericks- Strangely enough the first place Mavericks who now lead Houston by a one-game in the Southwest Division have the worst home record of any first place team in the league at 13-10. Dallas has won four straight games after dropping two straight at home against the Nuggets and Lakers and will welcome the return of Kristaps Porzingis who has missed 10 games because of a knee injury. The Mavs are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games and are 0-4 ATS at home against teams with winning records. The Clippers are just 2-8 ATS after a straight-up win and just 1-4 ATS at Dallas. LA won the first matchup 114-99 back in November when Doncic missed all eight of hie 3-point shots. Take the CLIPPERS!

L.A. Lakers at Boston 7:35 ET

Celtics (+) over Lakers- The banged-up Celtics are in a three-game losing streak and are on a six out of eight slide after bowing to Phoenix Saturday. Los Angeles on the other hand has managed to go 4-1 without their injured start Anthony Davis as LeBron James continues to be the most dominating player in the NBA. The pressure here will increase on Boston as Kemba Walker and Jaylen Brown are sidelined and they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games and just 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But, here the table turn as the Celtics are 12-3 ATS as a home underdog. Take BOSTON!

New Orleans at Memphis 5:00 ET

Pelicans (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis who hold the final playoff spot in the Western Conference has won seven straight and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven outings. New Orleans who surprisingly are hanging on without key players are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall including 5-1-1 ATS on the road in their last seven and 8-1-1 As a road underdog. For a team that has won seven straight and is at home this is a very short number. Take the PELICANS!

New York at Cleveland 5:05 ET

Knicks (+) over Cavaliers- A pair of NBA bottom feeders matchup in Cleveland where the 12-win Cavaliers will host 11-win New York. The Knicks are 7-14 under interim coach Mike Miller (an improvement really) but are just 1-8 since the New Year while the Cavaliers have lost four in-a-row and eight of their last 10. Trends for both sides are nothing to brad about as the Cavaliers are 0-4 ATS as a favorite and the Knicks are 2-7 ATS as an underdog. So, Take NEW YORK!

Indiana at Denver 8:05 ET

Pacers (+) over Nuggets- Two of the NBA's better contenders face-off in Denver where the Nuggets are 17-5 straight-up while Indiana is 10-10 SU on the road. Both teams are on winning streaks with the Pacers at four and Denver at three and Indiana is 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Nuggets who in the past have had a strong home court advantage are just 2-5-2 ATS in their last nine home games. Take INDIANA!

Miami at San Antonio 3:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Heat- Miami owns an NBA best 18-1 record at home but have not won more than two straight on the road. The Heat enter this fray off of a pair of wins including a 106-100 win over the Spurs in Miami four days ago while San Antonio has dropped their last two. Miami is not only 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win and 1-5 ATS as a road favorite but 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings as well. San Antonio is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 as a home underdog and 8-1-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the SPURS!

L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:35 ET

Rockets (+) over Lakers- The Lakers nine-game win streak was ended by Orlando Wednesday and they finished the first half of their season with a 33-8 record the best in the west. That loss by LA was the first this season against a team with a losing record which means that they are now 22-1 when facing sub-par teams. Anthony Davis is questionable and that can only help the struggling Rockets who have lost their last two and three of four games. Los Angeles doesn't feed well after a weak performance as they are 2-5-1 after an ATYS loss and they have dropped 17 of the past 21 meetings to the Rockets and they are 6-13 ATS at Houston. Note, the Rockets are 11-2 ATS when playing on two days rest. Take HOUSTON!

Philadelphia at New York 7:30 ET

Knicks (+) over 76ers- It's they same old story when facing a bully, stand up to him and he shrinks and when playing on the road the bully 76ers fold like a cheap tent. Philadelphia is a stellar 22-2 SU at home but on the road is a different tale where they have lost six straight (0-5-1 ATS) and are just 7-14 on the season. Now the Sixers have a 10-game winning streak in this series but they are just 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games overall and once again will be without Joel Embiid. Take NEW YORK!

L.A. Clippers at New Orleans 3:30 ET

Pelicans (+) over Clippers- New Orleans just continues to go about their business with the knowledge that Zion Williamson is in the wings waiting to make his NBA debut on Wednesday. The Pelicans have won nine of the past 12 and just ended Utah's nine-game winning streak with a 138-132 overtime win last time out and are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games. The Clippers are still inconsistent as they are 2-7 ATS following a straight-up win and are just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 trips to New Orleans. Take the PELICANS!

Miami at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Heat (+) over Thunder- Miami who is 28-12 on the year have built their record by going 18-1 at home but it has been a different story on the road where they are an unimpressive 10-11 straight-up. Oklahoma City has won 12 of their last 16 games but were pounded early by Toronto 130-121 their last timeout and are still 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Miami who is 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with the Heat breaking a six-game series losing streak with a 116-107 win at OKC last season. The Thunder needs help in the middle where centers Steven Adams and Nerlens Noel may both be sidelined. Take MIAMI!

Chicago at Philadelphia 7:00 ET

Bulls (+) over 76ers- The 76ers' are playing the Dickens part by being a 'Tale of Two Cities' going 19-2 SU at home but just 7-14 on the road. The lowly Bulls are 7-13 on the road SU and 15-27 on the season and have struggled of late going 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games. Oddly enough Philadelphia is the same 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games but have taken five of the last six in the series. Without Joel Embiid the Sixers are vulnerable and play close here. Take CHICAGO!

Washington at Toronto 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Raptors- Toronto the defending NBA Champions got off to a great start to the season even without Kawhi Leonard gone to LA and they were pounded with a series of injuries. The Raptors lost three starters for almost a month as Marc Gasol, Pascal Siakam and Norman Powell and as they all were sidelined and their record fell off according. Washington has had injury issues of their own but they are healing as Thomas Bryant and Bradley Beal have returned to the line-up and Beal has scored 20-points or more in 11 straight games against the raptors. Take WASHINGTON!

Denver at Golden State 10:30 ET

Warriors (+) over Nuggets- It has been 18 years since Golden State has lost 10 straight games and right now they are a single loss away from matching that infamous figure. The Warriors have been defeated by 20 points in consecutive games after their 124-97 pounding by the Mavericks and are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games following a double-digit loss. Although Denver has won 14 of their last 18 and have won three in-a-row in the series between the two they are just 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites and are only 1-6 ATS in the second of back-to back games. Hey how about this, the Warriors are 21-10 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage of 60% or better. Take GOLDEN STATE!

Utah at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Pelicans (+) over Jazz- When you're hot you're hot and that is the Jazz as of now as they have won their last 10 and 15 of their last 16 and are 2-0 this season against New Orleans. The Pelicans have won 3-of-4 with that loss at home to Utah 10 days ago. The ATS stats are outrageous for the Jazz as they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games and 7-1 ATS on the road in their last eight games and they are 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. New Orleans who is improving daily is 6-1-1 ATS as a home underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take PELICANS!

Phoenix at New York 7:30 ET

Knicks (+) over Suns- The Phoenix Suns have won 16 games this season as compared to 19 games all of last season but they are just 5-12 in their last 17 games straight-up and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games. I'm a bit surprised that the Suns are favored here. The Knicks who are 7-12 since Mike Miller took over on December 6 but they are currently in their worst stretch since he took over losing six of their past seven. The Suns are 12-4-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings and 7-2 ATS at New York but, the Knicks are 5-2 ATS at home against a team with a losing record. Take NEW YORK!

Dallas at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Mavericks- Dallas may be the biggest and most positive surprise in the NBA this season but have won consecutive games for the first time since December winning those games by 22.5 points. The Mavericks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 as road favorites but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after a straight-up win. And 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Sacramento has been a disappointment at home and are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 home games but somehow are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games overall and an amazing 17-5 ATS in the last 22 meetings including 7-3 ATS at home. Take the KINGS!

Indiana at Minnesota 8:00 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Pacers- Both of these clubs are on two-game streaks with the Pacers on the positive end of their and Minnesota once again on the short end. Indiana welcomes the return of guard Malcolm Brogdon while the Timberwolves are looking for the return of Karl-Anthony Towns who has missed the last two games. Minnesota is 5-5 since their 11-game losing streak and are coming off of a 30-point loss to Houston and look to rebound here. Although they are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games after an ATS loss. Take MINNESOTA!

San Antonio at Miami 7:30 ET

Spurs (+) over Heat- Miami is the team with the best home record 17-1 in a league where the home court advantage has its biggest advantage. San Antonio who had a terrible start to the season have won 3-of-4 and re 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a road underdog. The Heat after a great start have started to come back to the pack as they are 2-5-1 ATS as home favorites. Add that San Antonio is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings including 6-1 ATS at Miami. Take the SPURS!

Houston at Memphis 8:00 ET

Grizzlies (+) over Rockets- Houston paced by leading NBA scorer James Harden 37.7 points per games has started to show some consistency winning four of their last five straight-up and have won six of the last seven meetings with the Grizzlies including a 107-100 win in Memphis on November 4th. Memphis has won their last five SU and are 5-0 ATS and has come on strong after a slow start. The Grizzlies opened the season 6-16 but have won 12 of their last 18 and are 6-2-1 ATS as an underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last four at home. Take MEMPHIS!

Utah at Brooklyn 7:30 ET

Nets (+) over Jazz- The return of Kyrie Irving to Brooklyn was no surprise but his play on the court raised some eyebrows as he scored 21 points in 20 minutes on 10 of 11 field goals. His return helped the Nets end a 7-game losing streak as the Nets were 13-13 in Irving absence. Meanwhile, Utah has won their last eight and 14 of 15 and are 9-2 SU in the last 11 meetings. As well as 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Brooklyn is off of an upset of Miami and are 6-0 ATS in their last six home games as underdogs.Take BROOKLYN!

Phoenix at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Suns- Last season these two bottom feeders had the worst records in the NBA and expected at least some improvement considering they have had top draft picks in recent season. Well, Phoenix has risen a bit and has won 16 games this season while Atlanta remains the leagues doormat along with Golden State. The Hawks have been grounded at home wining just 4 of 18 SU but are meeting a team that doesn't belong in the favorites role. The Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last four as favorites and Atlanta is 7-3 ATS following a loss of 10 points or more. Take ATLANTA!

Orlando at Sacramento 10:30 ET

Kings over Magic- Orlando was a game away from the breakeven point on the season but then took to the road where the Sun handed them a 98-94 loss while the Kings have won three of four before getting routed by Milwaukee. Marvin Bagley III returns after a six game absence and he can do nothing but help this young club. Sacramento placed in the favorites roll have struggled at home going 2-6 ATS and 2-9 ATS at home overall. Still the Kings are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts against the Magic. Take SACRAMENTO!

Oklahoma City at Minnesota 8:05 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City has been one of the best 'takes' in the NBA this season and is 26-13 ATS on the season and 14-5 ATS on the road including 10-1 ATS in their last 11. The Thunder are 12-14 SU in their last 14 while Minnesota has struggled and are just 5-11-1 ATS at home but ate 5-2 ATS overall in their last seven games. But the true stat to be noted is that OKC is just 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 at Minnesota. Take the TIMBERWOLVES!

Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET

Bulls (+) over Celtics- Boston just put an end to their longest losing streak (3-games) of the season with a resounding 140-105 pounding of New Orleans. Chicago just ended a losing streak of their own as they upset the Pistons in Detroit 108-99 last time out after six straight losses going 0-5-1 ATS. The Bulls are 8-2-1 ATAS in their last 11 games as a road underdog but are 1-6 ATS in their last seven meetings in Boston. The Celtics with their mini slide are just 1-4 ATS in their last four home games. Still, tonight it is CHICAGO!

San Antonio at Toronto 6:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Raptors- Toronto is fighting each and every night like true champions but the injury toll is impacting their results. No less than five Raptors are out or questionable and they have lost the effectiveness of their rotation. San Antonio who was off to a horrific start has turned things around and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games including 4-1 ATS as a road underdog. The Raptors are just 3-9 ATS on three or more days rest and are 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Philadelphia at Dallas 8:30 ET

76ers (+) over Mavericks- No Embiid, no problem for the 76ers as they put away arch rival Boston with Joel sidelined last time out. Philadelphia won their last two at home after dropping four straight on the road where they are 7-12 SU on the season. After a great start to the season the Mavericks have fallen a bit of late losing their last two at home to Denver and the Lakers and have lost five of their last seven. Dallas is juts 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against teams with winning records. Take PHILADELPHIA!

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

Thunder (+) over Lakers- The Lakers have won seven straight (with or without Anthony Davis) and are now 17-3 straight-up on the road. Oklahoma City is almost as 'hot' as LA as they have won 11 of 13 after routing Houston 113-92 on Thursday. Although the Lakers are on another winning streak they are just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall and 3-7-1 ATS as favorites in their last 11 games. Oklahoma City is 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games overall and 20-7 Ats as an underdog. Take the THUNDER!

Minnesota at Houston 5:00 ET

Rockets (-) over T'wolves- The Rockets made an appearance in Oklahoma City Thursday as James Harden and Russell Westbrook were welcomed back to their former club and were pounded 113-92 by the Thunder. That was the lowest scoring output on the season for Houston and I expect them to respond against the Timberwolves who are just 6-13-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Houston is 9-4 ATS following a loss and get it done here. Take the ROCKETS!

Indiana at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Pacers- Chicago is in the mist of a five-game losing streak and return home after dropping road games to Dallas and New Orleans. Indiana has won the last six meetings but has lost 3-of-4 and 5-of-7 SU entering this game 8-10 SU on the road and are just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to the Windy City. 'We' are going to buck a trend here as the Bulls are just 6-20 ATS as a home underdog but game it done here. Take CHICAGO!

Miami at Brooklyn 7:30 ET

Nets (+) over Heat- Miami has proven itself to be one of the better bets in the NBA this season as they are 22-13-2 ATS and are 17-1 straight-up at home.

The Heat are 15-7-1 ATS as a favorite and are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 meetings in Brooklyn.

New Orleans who snapped a franchise high 13-game losing streak have won 7-of-10 since. Come in hot and are 7-0-1 ATS in their last eight. New York is 6-10 since interim coach Mike Miller took over including a three-game win streak which is their longest since November of 2018. The Knicks are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 meetings in MSG and get the money here. Take NEW YORK!

Houston at Oklahoma City 9:35 ET

Thunder (+) over Rockets- The storyline here is not that James Harden is visiting Oklahoma City it is more about the return of 11-year Thunder veteran Russell Westbrook. The OKC brass is providing a pre-game video tribute to Russell and not a mention of Harden who put in some huge scoring years in Oklahoma City. Although is 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall Houston is just 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. The Thunder have the best ATS record in the league at 25-12 and are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 as a home dog. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Portland at Minnesota 8:00 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Trailblazers- Carmelo Anthony is rising like a phoenix as his hot hand helped erase a 10-point fourth quarter comeback in Portland's 101-99 upset of the Raptors in Toronto.

Portland has dominated the Wolves in Minnesota going 21-7 ATS in their last 28 meetings. The struggling Timberwolves are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games but are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Take MINNESOTA.

Boston at Philadelphia 7:00 ET

76ers (-) over Celtics- Well, we are all aware that Joel Embiid will be sidelined with a dislocated left ring finger (did you see it) a game in which he returned to action to help Philadelphia snap a four-game losing streak. The 76ers have defeated Boston twice already this season but are 3-4 SU in games without Embiid. Although the Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games they are 6-1 in their last seven games as an underdog and 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Philadelphia is 17-2 straight-up at home and that will help here tonight. Take the 76ERS!

Chicago at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans who won just six of their first 28 games have now won six of their last nine and have won the past four meetings before having lost the previous six. Chicago has lost four straight and five of six and are a season low 11-games under .500. Despite these negative numbers the Bulls are 7-1-1 in their last nine games as a road underdog and are 8-2-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Pelicans are just 3-9-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take CHICAGO!

Washington at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (-) over Wizards- These two also-rans are starting to pay better basketball as Washington has won their last two as underdogs at home over Boston and Denver and the Magic have won three of four.

The Wizards are just 1-5 ATS following a SU win and are 0-4 ATS in their last four against teams with a losing record and the Magic are 6-1 ATS in their last seven as a favorite. Take ORLANDO!

Toronto at Charlotte 7:00 ET

Hornets (+) over Raptors- After winning the NBA title the Raptors started the season in fine fashion playing like true champions winning 21 of their first 27 games and then the injury bug hit. Last night Toronto had three starters down and had a late lead against Portland and then their fourth starter when down as Fred VanFleet went to the sideline with a hamstring injury and the Raptors fell short once again and have lost five of their last eight. Charlotte is just 2-6 ATS in his last eight games overall and have are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games as well as 2-5 ATS in their last seven as an underdog. Toronto is 1-3 in the second of back-to-back contests. Take CHARLOTTE!

Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET

Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- The Grizzlies had a great weekend defeating the LA Clippers 140-114 and then came right back on Sunday at Phoenix with a 121-114 victory and are now winners in nine of their last 15 games overall. Minnesota who is playing without Karl-Anthony Towns (questionable today) have won four of their last six and are 4-0 ATS in their last four and 4-1-1 ATS as an underdog. Memphis has struggled in tonight's role as they are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games as a home favorite. Take the TIMBERWOLVES!

Detroit at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Pistons- Trailing by 25-points on Sunday the Cavaliers made a valiant comeback attempt before losing their fourth straight. Cleveland rested a pair of veterans Sunday Kevin Love and Tristian Thompson who are both frustrated and asking for trades because of the teams slow development. Detroit has issues of their own with veterans and are just 3-8 ATS on their last 11 games overall and 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 on the road and are 2-6 ATS in their last eight trips to Cleveland. Take the CAVALIERS!

Portland at Toronto 7:00 ET

Trailblazers (+) over Raptors- Both of these clubs are struggling of late as Portland has dropped six of their last seven 'only covering' in their lone victory while the Raptors have dropped four of their last seven. Toronto won the first meeting 114-106 in Portland in mid-November with Pascal Siakam scoring 36 points but are now 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a win. The Trailblazers who are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Toronto are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as an underdog. That's all well and good but this 'price' tells that the Raptors just don't have it together without Siakam in the lineup. Take PORTLAND!

Golden State at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (-) over Warriors- Oh how the mighty have fallen as Golden State opened a double-digit underdogs against the lowly Kings who have lost nine of their past 10 games. These two faced each other once last month and it wasn't pretty as Sacramento committed 27 turnovers and the Warriors turned it over 20 times. The price on this encounter is ridiculous when you consider the Kings are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games and are 1-6 ATS as a home favorite. Add that the Warriors are 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to the state Capital. Take SACRAMENTO!

Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Spurs (+) over Bucks- These two played a very physical affair in Milwaukee Saturday night as the Bucks grabbed a 127-118 non-cover victory. San Antonio tried to challenge Antetokounmpo. But fouling the Super-star didn't work as Giannis converted 12 free throws. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich admitted that the Spurs 'fouled too much' and they have to play better defense. San Antonio has their work cut out as the Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last six as road favorites and the Spurs are 7-20 ATS in their all 27 home games but, are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up loss. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Utah at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Pelicans (+) over Jazz- When these two clubs met in early November Utah scored a season high 128 points as Donovan Mitchell also scored a season high 37 points. New Orleans of course had a rough start to the season but have played well of late winning five of their last six. Speaking of playing well of last the Jazz have won their last five games SU and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games overall and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 meetings in New Orleans. The Pelicans are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games overall and 5-1 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Detroit at L.A. Lakers- 10:00 ET

Lakers (-) over Pistons- Detroit ended a 3-game losing streak last night as our Power Play winner over Golden State but have still lost nine of their last 10 games overall while the Lakers have won four straight after a four-game losing streak. The Pistons are just 9-27-1 ATS in their last 37 road games and are 0-4 when playing in the second of back-to-back games. Add that Detroit is 1-8 ATS in their last nine meetings in Los Angeles and the Lakers are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 at home against teams with losing records. Take the LAKERS!

Minnesota at Cleveland 7:30 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Timberwolves- The lowly Cavaliers who have lost their last three had a mini steak where they won four of five including a win at Minnesota. The Timberwolves who are 3-2 since injuries to Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins after an 11-game losing streak and are just 1-4 ATS as favorites and 1-6-1 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Cleveland who is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 games overall are 5-2 as a home underdog and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the T'wolves. Take CLEVELAND!

Portland at Miami 7:35 ET

Trailblazers (+) over Heat- Miami who has been one of the more pleasant surprises in the NBA this season at 25-10 SU and 20-13-2 ATS return home where they are 8-1 ATS following a loss of 10-points or more and are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 home games. But, the Heat had hit a lull where they are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games and have had a rash of turnovers as their shooting percentage has dropped. Portland who is just 1-5-1 ATS overall in their last seven games themselves are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take the TRAILBLAZERS!

Detroit at Golden State 8:30 ET

Pistons (-) over Warriors- The Pistons are a group of walking wounded as Blake Griffin, Marcus Morris and Luke Kennard are battling injury bugs. Talking about injuries there is no other team in the NBA that has had the hardship that the Warriors have had to endure this season. As thin as Golden State's roster has already been this season there are more trouble ahead as D'Angelo Russell, Kevon Looney and Willie Cauley-Stein are questionable. Detroits Andre Drummond who has 28 triple-doubles is o the trading block and should have another great performance just to get away from the Motor City. Take DETROIT!

Atlanta at Boston 7:05 ET

Hawks (+) over Celtics- Boston is getting healthy and have won xis of their last seven while the Hawks remain grounded despite breaking a 10-game losing streak on Monday with a win at Orlando. The win came as ball hog and 'gunner' Trae Young is sidelined with an ankle injury and the rest of the squad understands the 'team' concept. The Celtics have won seven of the last eight meetings and are 5-2 ATS at home against Atlanta. Five men that play as a team can surprise even the best of NBA clubs. Take ATLANTA!

Portland at Washington 7:00 ET

Trailblazers (-) over Wizards- Carmelo Anthony's 'return' to New York was a disaster as the Trailblazers were blown out by the lowly New York Knicks (Megabucks winner) and admit that they just got 'outplayed' despite Anthony's season high 26 points. Today, we have Portland 0-5-1 ATS in their last six on the road and is 6-12 SU on the road overall a road favored at Washington. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS at home in their last five and 2-8 ATS against teams with losing records. Take PORTLAND!

Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Heat- Sometimes in sports one team may seem to have another club's 'number' despite the rival being an inferior squad. The Miami Heat have won three NBA titles while Orlando has yet to even appear in an NBA Final and yet the in-state rival has won eight of the last 11 meeting including 3-1 last season. The Heat are 16-1 SU at home but just 9-8 SU on the road and are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven in Back-to-back contests. Orlando is just 2-5-1 ATS as a home underdog but are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take ORLANDO!

Oklahoma City at San Antonio 8:30 ET

Thunder (+) over Spurs- OKC has put together three straight wins and eight wins in the last nine games and are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Spurs seem to have come to life winning 3-of-4 both SU and ATS. The Thunder have surprised many of the pundits with their winning ways are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as an underdog but are 0-6 ATS in their last six trips to San Antonio. But, this is a different Spurs team that is just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games at home and 5-16 ATS as favorites. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Utah at Chicago 8:05 ET

Bulls (+) over Jazz- The Jazz who have won three straight and 8-of-9 going 7-2 ATS are off of their best defensive effort of the season holding the Pistons to just 81 points on Monday. Utah is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall but are just 105 ATS after a win by 10-points or more. Chicago is off of a beating by Milwaukee but are 8-0 ATS in their last eight games after a straight-up loss. The Bulls are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings including a 114-83 loss in their last meeting. This time take the BULLS!

Denver at Indiana 7:05 ET

Nuggets (+) over Pacers- Both of these clubs are in mists of winning ball as the Pacers are 7-3 SU and ATS in their last 10 while Denver is 8-2 SU but a disappointing 2-7-1 ATS in those 10 games. After a pair of road losses the Pacers returned home on Tuesday and destroyed Philadelphia 115-97 while the Nuggets were getting pounded at Houston 130-104. Although the Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last four visits to Indiana the Pacers are 3-7-1 ATS after a SU win of 10 points or more. Take DENVER!

Minnesota at Milwaukee 8:00 ET

Bucks (-) over Timberwolves- Minnesota was a nice win for 'us' over Brooklyn last time out especially because they were without their two top scorers in Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins. Tonight they will feel the impact of their absence and even if they do play (Not) the Bucks are on a destroy mission and have already taken down the T'wolves in November 134-106...same story here! Take MILWAUKEE!

Portland at New York 7:30 ET

Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Things can change pretty quickly in the NBA and the fall of the Trailblazers didn't take long. Portland who made to the Western Conference Finals last season are 14-20 on the years having lost their last four and don't have much hope of making the playoffs at all this season. New York hasn't had aspirations of getting to the post season and they fired their coach David Fizdale when they were 4-19 and they have gone 5-6 since under Mike Miller. The Blazers have won six straight in the series but that ends tonight! Take the KNICKS!

Orlando at Washington 6:00 ET

Magic (+) over Wizards- Washington rose up despite injuries to defeat Miami 123-105 but have won just two of their last 10 overall while the Magic have been pulling their own disappearing act losing their last two the Milwaukee and lowly Atlanta. Fortunately for Orlando the Wizards as 2-7 ATS when facing a team with a losing record and they are 0-4 ATS after a straight-up win and 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games. Take the MAGIC!
