Pelicans -4.5

We're on the Pelicans laying the points here. 

New Orleans has a nice young core with a mix of veterans that has given this team a nice start to the season. They love to play quick and can keep pace with just about anyone in the league. 

They matchup extremely well with the Pistons, who are well on their way to battle for the top pick. The Pelicans have fared well in this head to head series, covering the spread in 8 of the last 10 meetings between the two sides. Look for them utilize their speed and get out in transition, where they are at their best. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Pelicans are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back the Pelicans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston Celtics 3

We're on the Celtics here on Thursday night in Brooklyn.  

This has the makings of a statement game. Two of the projected top teams in the East will clash here and both sides will be looking to get an edge on the other mentally with a win. Boston is just too talented top to bottom. They match up well on both ends of the floor with this Brooklyn team, who has shown some inconsistencies here in the first part of the season.  

Boston ranks 2nd in total offense and comes in as one of the best shooting teams in the league. They are just so tough to keep up with and their high pressure defense will give Brooklyn all they can handle.  

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. 

Back Boston. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9" NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee +1

The Bucks are a nice number here on Wednesday. 

Milwaukee comes in off a win against the Knicks, a game where they bounced back in a big way on the defensive end. Milwaukee got some key stops down the stretch and turned their playmakers that produced as well. 

This team is very deep and has a lot of weapons can cause issues for the opposition. Atlanta struggles on the defensive end, which gives a very big edge to the Bucks. Look for Milwaukee to push the tempo on Atlanta and really have them on their heels.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. Hawks are 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games following a ATS win.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee PK

The Bucks are the move here at a pickem. 

Milwaukee is probably the most complete team in the Eastern Conference, but lately they have had some issues on the defensive end. However, it does work in our favor as we get them at this kind of price. 

The Bucks are a team that typically bounces back big too. After a bad loss last time out to Charlotte, this is a game where they will come out with some fire. Look for them to push the tempo on the Knicks as New York has been one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to slowing down the opposition in transtion.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Bucks are 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New York.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Chicago +8.5

We’re on Chicago here, with the points. This Bulls team is starting to become one of those teams you don’t want to see. They play a very aggressive style on both ends of the floor and they have playmakers who can shoot it. 

Coming into Monday, the Bulls have won 3 in a row against very good competition. They’ve been able to put up over 120 in all three wins, getting some big point totals from numerous guys. 

They do matchup well with Boston in some capacity, as they can match the scoring pace with this Celtics side. 

Some trends to note, Bulls are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and Celtics 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Head to head Bulls are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Boston.

Look for Chicago to keep this one close throughout. Back Chicago.

Good luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 6* NBA ATS Play

Phoenix Suns +2

The Suns have value here with the points.

Phoenix is clearly missing Devin Booker, but one thing they've continued to do well is play well at home. They come into play on Friday 14-5 SU here in Phoenix. They have also fared well when it comes to this head to head series with Miami. 

The Suns have covered in 5 of the last 6 meetings between the two clubs. With the home crowd edge, the Suns should put an emphasis on coming out of the gates early as they are at their best when they push the tempo to set the tone.

Some trends to note. Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Clippers +4.5

The Clippers have seemed to play up to their competition this season. This is a nice spot for them here in Denver.

The Nuggets have had their issues on the defensive end and the Clippers have the playmakers to really take advantage of that. Los Angeles has seemed to come out and play extremely well when taking on top tier teams and this is their chance here to make a statement in the West.

The Clippers also have been a nice road backing lately. Coming into Thursday, they have covered the number in 5 of their last 7 road affairs.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Clippers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

Grab the points.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -5

We're on the Cavs, laying the points in this one. 

Mitchell's epic 71 point performance was one for the record books as the Cavs erased a 20 point deficit last time out. Now, they carry the momentum into play here against the Suns. 

Phoenix for starters has been dealing with injuries all season long. Devin Booker remains out and they are clearly struggling without him. They also have been a struggle on the road this season. Coming into play on Wednesday, the Suns are just 6-13 away from home. 

The Cavaliers have been a tough team to crack inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse and have covered 5 of the last 6 against the Suns here.

Some trends to note. Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Suns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back the Cavs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play (CLE/PHO)

Utah Jazz -2.5

We're on the Jazz here laying the points. 

We've faded Utah as of late and it's been profitable for us as a whole. However, they return home, where they have played much better basketball. They come into Tuesday a solid 12-6 in front of the home crowd. This matchup and arena have also been a nightmare for the Kings. They are just 1-7-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings overall and are 1-4-1 ATS in the last 6 games in Utah. 

The Jazz will lean on their 4th ranked offense in the league and look to pick apart this Kings defense. Sacramento has had plenty of issues on the defensive end, especially as of late. 

Some trends to note. Kings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. Kings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami Heat +4.5

The Heat are the move on Monday evening in LA. 

The Clippers have just been so inconsistent on both sides of the ball this season. Even when they have things going right on one side, something tends to go wrong on the other. That was the case last time out as they put up 130 points, but had no defensive efforts in what eventually was a loss to the Pacers. 

Miami is a very physical team and they'll really cause a lot of issues on the defensive side for the Clippers. Miami ranks 4th in the NBA in total defense and they will turn up the pressure Monday night. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Heat are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play (MIA/LAC)

Golden State -3

The Warriors have the value here on Monday night. 

Golden State has battled through injuries and has continued to find ways to win. They also have been one of the most dominant teams at home. Coming into play on Monday, the Warriors are 16-2. They have fed off the crowd energy and it's kept them a float through the injuries.

Atlanta meanwhile comes in just 6-11 on the road and they are one of the worst in the league on the defensive end. The Hawks give up nearly 116 points per game and they'll have their hands full with this Warriors side that loves to play quick.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.

Look for Golden State to protect home court once again.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2

We're on Boston here in Denver on Sunday night. 

New Years Day gives us a solid matchup as these two sides have the potential to give us a finals preview. Both teams have been solid to start the season, but this Boston side has really taken the NBA by storm. They are one of the best on both sides of the ball and they have taken down some top tier teams already this season. 

Coming into the play, the Celtics rank first in the NBA in total points scored and 12th on the defensive side. 

They've also fared very well in this head to head series. They have gone 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings head to head and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 here in Denver.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 24-11-2 ATS in their last 37 road games. Celtics are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up win.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento Kings -3

We're playing the Kings here on Friday night, at home.

Utah has been a fade for us in a few recent games and it's worked out. This young team was bound to cool off from their hot start and they've dropped back to back games. Their defense has been a huge struggle and they're allowing far too many easy looks for opposing shooters. They rank 23rd in total defense and that number continues to get worse.

Sacramento is a much better team at home and they are one of the best in the league when it comes to scoring. The Kings put up 118 points per game, which ranks 2nd in the NBA. Look for Sacramento to utilize their speed and push the tempo on Utah, who has major issues with teams like this.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 15-37-3 ATS in their last 55 games following a ATS loss. Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (UT/SAC)

Pacers ATS

We're on the Pacers here, at home on Thursday. 

Cleveland has been a different team on the road compared to playing at home. They are just 6-9 away from Quicken Loans Arena and they've struggled to find any sort of consistency on both sides of the ball in such situations. 

Indiana has also been playing very well. They have covered in 5 of the last 7 overall and they're doing it with solid play on both sides of the ball. They're turning defense into offense as they are one of the best in the league when it comes to forcing turnovers and getting easy transition looks at the rim. 

Look for them to really put the pressure on defensively and force Cleveland to make some of their role players try to beat them. 

Some trends to note. Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Cavaliers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Indiana +5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +4

The Warriors are picking up some momentum even with the injuries they're dealing with. 

They come in off back to back wins, one of which was a blowout win over the Grizzlies on Christmas Day. Offensively, they're getting a lot of role players to step up as they've filled in over the past two games flawlessly. Golden State put up 123 points against Memphis and 110 against Charlotte as they continued to attack the rim. That will be the key here as it has opened up shooting lanes when they can control the paint. 

Utah fell to San Antonio last time out and they are starting to see a little regression from their hot start. This team still has plenty of talent, but the league is starting to adjust to the style of play.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 15-36-3 ATS in their last 54 games following a ATS loss. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play (UT/GS)

Kings +3

We’re on the Kings here, grabbing the points at home.

For starters, this is a huge letdown spot for the Nuggets. They come in off a dramatic, come from behind, overtime win at home against the Suns on Christmas Day. Flipping gears real quick and heading down to Sacramento is quite the difference in competition and even styles of play.

This is a game where the Kings can steal one given the drop of emotions for Denver.

The Nuggets have also struggled in this series. Coming into play, the Nuggets have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 in this arena.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Back Sacramento. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -3.5 

We're on the Lakers laying the points. 

This is a fade of the Hornets. The Hornets are a mere 4-13 on the road and they have been an absolute mess in many facets. They rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category and they continue to struggle as a whole. They've dropped 9 of 10 overall as well and limp into this contest on Friday. 

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is playing better as a whole too. They are a solid 8-7 at home and they've fared very well against teams with sub .500 records. Coming into Friday, they have gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

They have the edge in almost every which way and will assert themselves early in this one. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Hornets +6.5

We're on the Hornets here against the Clippers on Wednesday night. 

Los Angeles has been an underachieving team in the NBA thus far. They enter play on Wednesday as one of the worst in the league on offense. They rank 30th in scoring, putting up just 107 points per game. 

Their inconsistencies have led to many games being close throughout, which is why grabbing the points here is valuable. The Hornets love to play quick and that has proven to be one of the best recipes to beating this Clippers side. They struggling with fast paced teams and the Hornets are getting healthier as the games go on.

Some trends to note. Hornets are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Hornets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.

Look for this to be close throughout. 

Back the Hornets.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets -8.5

We're on the Nuggets here, laying the points.

Denver is in a bounce back spot after dropping one to the Lakers after a sluggish 4th quarter. Los Angeles is a team that has woken up a bit and Denver ended up running into a brick wall in that final quarter. Still, this team is playing extremely well overall and they have so many different playmakers that cause havoc for opposing defenses.

Denver averages 116 points per game, which ranks 7th in the NBA. New Orleans has one of the worst defenses in the NBA, giving a huge edge to this Nuggets side.

Some trends to note. Hornets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

Denver always bounces back it seems. This is a very nice spot for them at home.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks 4.5

The Mavs look for revenge here on Saturday. They fell to Cleveland, at home earlier this week as they dug themselves too big of a whole early on. 

They catch the Cavs in a nice spot here, as Cleveland is working on a back to back after having to fight hard against the Pacers on Friday night. We could see Cleveland rest a couple players, but even if we don't they should still be battling a little fatigue come Saturday night.

Dallas has also been a nice backing inside this arena. They've covered the last 4 head to head contests in Cleveland.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Cavaliers are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest.

With how much of a struggle Cleveland is on back to backs, there is a ton of value on the visitors.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Lakers +1.5

The Lakers may be figuring some things out. They have value here at home.

Despite dropping last game to the Celtics, we saw a lot of positives from this Lakers side. They have shown they have the ability to go on huge runs and really lock down defensively at times. Now, it’s about turning that into a more consistent effort. 

The Nuggets themselves are a team they match up well with. Los Angeles has really stepped up their interior defense and that should be the difference here. 

Look for them to contain Jokic and really attack the rim, similar to what they did on Tuesday.

Some trends to note, Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Lakers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami -5

We're backing the Heat here on Thursday night. 

Miami has been dominant in this series as of late coming into play on Thursday.  Houston are 9-18 on the year.  Miami are 13-15. 

This is also a let down spot for the Rockets. They came out on Tuesday and blew away the Suns in what was their most impressive game of the season. Now, they take on a very physical and gritty Miami side that can really wear teams down. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Heat are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Houston, and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Raptors -5.5

The Raptors have value here laying the points.

The Kings have struggled on the road and in this head to head series, giving the edge here to Toronto. Coming into Tuesday, the Raptors have covered in 7 of the last 10 head to head meetings with one push. 

Toronto also has gone 10-3 at home this season as they've played some of their best basketball here. They've done it with a combination of factors, but the most important has been their ability to get key stops. Look for them to step up defensively against a Kings team that has it's issues with consistency on the offensive end.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Raptors are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Wednesday games.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3.5

This is a solid line on a much better team here. Boston is in a bounce back spot after dropping back to back games, which has been very rare as of late for them.

This is the final game of a 6 game road swing too, which the Celtics are looking to finish above .500. 

Boston has far too many weapons for this Lakers side. Los Angeles is too inconsistent and has struggled with top tier teams this season. Look for Boston to come out here with a purpose and push the tempo on the Lakers in this one.

Some trends to note, Celtics are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Lakers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Head to head Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Lay the small number.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nets -5

The Nets have value here. Brooklyn has been the most interesting team to say the least. The Nets have battled drama and injuries all season long. As of late, it’s been the injury piece, but they have weathered that storm. 

The Nets are 7-1 in their last 8 games and are expected to get Kevin Durant back for Mondays contest. 

This is the perfect matchup as the Wizards have had far more issues. They’ve dropped 6 in a row as it’s been a debacle for them on the defensive end. Look for Brooklyn to really push the tempo on Washington, who ranks near the bottom in transition defense. 

This is a nice matchup for the Nets and they should be able to dictate a lot here. 

Trends to note, Nets are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Knicks -2.5

The Knicks have value at this low of a number. Both teams come in playing very well, but New York is still the more talented of the two. The Knicks have won 3 in a row and they’re doing it with their ability to turn defense into offense. They’re forcing turnovers and getting out in transition, which has led to some easy buckets.

The Kings are vulnerable to turning the ball over and this is a game New York can take advantage of that. Look for them to turn up the pressure defensively and really force the Kings on their heels early in this one. 

With home court and opposing teams having a hard time playing at MSG, the value sits here with New York.

Some trends to note, Knicks are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Head to head Kings are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back the Knicks.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Suns +2

We’re on the Suns, grabbing the points here.

Chris Paul may return here which would be a huge added bonus. Even if he’s not, we’re still getting solid value on the home side.

The Suns always get up for big games and this is going to be a prime example. Phoenix sits at 16-8, first in the Western Conference as they’ve been able to overcome injuries here in the early part of the year. They’ve have different players stepping up, which shows how much depth this team has. 

They matchup well with Boston, as they have the playmakers to go toe to toe with them. 

Expect this game to be a back and forth one, with the Suns feeding off a sold out crowd energy to grab a win. 

Suns are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss, and Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Head to head Celtics are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -4.5

The Cavs have value here.

The Lakers still haven't figured everything out yet and honestly they may never figure it out. This team is far too inconsistent to trust. 

Cleveland meanwhile has played solid overall and they've been a tough team to crack at home. Combine that with the Lakers already losing to the Cavs by 14 earlier this season and there is a lot of reason to believe Cleveland can take control again. Look for the Cavs to use their speed and really push out in transition here.

Some trends to note, Lakers are 19-39 ATS in their last 58 games following a straight up win, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Cavs are 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

76ers -7.5

We're on the 76ers laying the points. 

After winning 3 straight and 4 of their last 5, the 76ers have dropped back to back games in ugly fashion. 

This is a perfect spot for them to get back on track. Houston's defense ranks one of the worst in the NBA and Phili should be able to dictate a lot here on both ends of the floor. Look for them to dominate the paint and get out with some easy transition buckets in this one.

Houston has struggled in this head to head series, leaving the value with the 76ers. 

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -7

The Warriors have value here laying the points.

Chicago just does not match up well here. The Bulls have failed to cover in 7 of the last 8 meetings overall in this series. This building has also been a house of horrors for the Bulls. They come into play on Friday just 5-17 ATS in the last 22 meetings here. 

Golden State started off slow this season, but has started to figure things out as they're playing at a much better level. Look for them to continue this dominance of the Bulls as they have a lot of weapons that can cause issues for this Chicago defense. 

Some trends to note. Bulls are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Bulls are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Pistons +7

This one is going to be a grind. 

The Pistons have been a mess this season, but they are in a good spot here. They catch the Mavs, who come in off their best win of the season as they took down the Warriors at home. 

Going from that high of a competition and intense game to this, could be a tough mental game for the Mavs. Look for Detroit to take advantage of that and come out of the gates with some fire in this one. If they can grab an early lead, the Mavericks are not a team that is built to come from behind. 

Grab the points.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +3.5

We're on the Pacers here with the points.

Indiana comes in on a high as they defeated the Lakers on Monday night at the buzzer. Indiana has been overlooked some this year, coming in with a solid 12-8 mark. They do the little things right when it comes to taking care of the basketball. 

Offensively, they rank 7th in the NBA, putting up 115.7 points per game as well. The Kings have defensive issues all over the place and this is not a good matchup for them. 

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Knicks -5

Brooklyn Nets -10 

We’re on the nets here laying the points on Monday night at home against Orlando.

The magic have been an ultimate fade this season. They come in with just five wins and have dropped four in a row overall. They struggle defensively, as they are one of the worst in the NBA when it comes down. 

Brooklyn has not lived up to their standards here in the 2022 season, they still have played much better as of late and are starting to figure things out. 

Look for the nets to come out of the gates early and really put the pressure on Orlando who has continuously dug themselves into some deep holes. A trend to note, Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 

This has the makings of a lopsided game. 

Back Brooklyn. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis -2.5

We're on the Grizzlies here laying the small number.

The Knicks have been one of the worst on the defensive side of the ball. They have struggled all season long and it's showed once again on Friday where they blew a 14 point lead, allowing 132 points. 

Memphis comes in with momentum themselves, putting up 132 points against the Pelicans in their Friday win. This is a case where the Knicks just do not match up well. Memphis has a lot of weapons and the Knicks have far too many issues with slowing teams down.

Lay the small number.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns -12

The Suns are worth a move laying the points.

Detroit comes in off an upset win in Utah last time out, but this team still has far too many issues. Defensively, they are one of the worst in the league in many categories. They give up easy looks and fail to stop teams who get out in transition. 

The Suns are not a good opponent to matchup with for Detroit. Given how quickly they play and the playmakers they have, this is a game where Phoenix can utilize their fast pace to throw this Pistons side off.

Some trends to note. Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Suns are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (PHO/DET)

Phoenix -7.5

The Suns have value here laying the points. 

The Lakers are still a struggle as they come in 5-10 and they do not match up well with the Suns. Phoenix comes in with momentum, winning of 2 of 3 and they throttled Knicks last time out putting up 116 points. The Suns have plenty of weapons that can step up.

Cameron Payne has been the latest to come up big as he has filled in for the injured Chris Paul. He dropped 21 points last time out and has topped 20 points four times while replacing Paul. 

Look for the Suns to overwhelm this Lakers side, who is just far too inconsistent this season.

Trends to note, Lakers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Head to head Lakers are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -3

Los Angeles has the value here, laying the small number.

The Jazz have been the biggest surprise in the NBA, but they run into a Clippers team who is starting to figure things out. The Clippers have won 2 in a row and 3 of their last 4 as they're finally starting to put together a solid run here. 

They've got some key players back from injury and have been one of the better sides defensively in the NBA this season. Look for them to throw the Jazz off their game with their style of play, as the Clippers will slow things down here.

Some trends to note, Clippers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Head to head the Jazz are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Phoenix -2

The Jazz are getting a heavy dosage of reality after their fast start. Their challenging schedule continues and this time it’s Phoenix that they have to deal with. 

The Suns defeated the Warriors and come in with plenty of momentum into Friday. Their quick tempo and ability to attack the rim is something this Jazz team will struggle with. 

With such a young team and facing adversity for the first time, this simply isn’t the team you want to see when trying to turn things around.

Some trends to note, Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Jazz are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Head to head Suns are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Utah.

Lay the small number.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Spurs +7

This is a fade on the Kings here.

Sacramento had a historic night as they put up 153 points on Brooklyn last time out. They are riding a high and now coming down to take on a team like the Spurs is certainly a place for a let down. 

On top of that, this Spurs team can really be a pain. They are young and utilize a lot of speed, that can create issues for opposing teams. Look for them to come out with a lot of tempo and get out in transition, causing a lot of issues for the Kings.

Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss, and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 1 days rest. Kings are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Phoenix -1.5

The Suns have value at this low of a number.

Phoenix throttled the Warriors earlier this season in a game where Klay Thompson was ejected in the third quarter. Phoenix ended up putting up 134 points in that win as they have one of the best offenses in the NBA. 

Golden State has been lackluster to say the best thus far. Coming in at just 6-8, they have had issues on both sides of the ball. This Suns team is playing much better and playing with far more confidence right now. 

Some trends to note, Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Lastly the Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -4.5

This is a revenge spot here for the Bucks. 

Atlanta handed the Bucks their first loss of the season last week and now they'll get their chance to find some revenge here in Milwaukee. The Hawks have dropped 2 of their last 3 games overall, which includes a loss on Saturday where they couldn't slow down the 76ers. 

Milwauke will have a few players returning from injury here as well, which should provide a huge boost. Look for them to have some fire here in the early going, as Atlanta's defensive issues are just too much to overcome.

Some trends to note, Hawks are 7-25 ATS in their last 32 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Hawks are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Milwaukee.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland +5.5

The Trail Blazers have value at this price. 

Portland has won four of thier last five games and they are a solid backing when playing as an underdog. They have covered 5 of the last 6 on the road when grabbing points.

Dallas meanwhile has been a nice fade in spots like this. They are just 2-7-1 ATS as favorites and will have their hands full as injuries are piling up on them. 

Look for Portland to keep this close, as they have a chance to even steal this one outright.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -4.5

We’re on the clippers laying the points.

The Lakers have just been a solid fade all season long. They’ve struggled on both sides of the ball and it hasn’t got any better for them with each game.

The frustration is apparent and the Clippers have a huge mental edge on them. They’ve dominated this head to head series and have a win under their belts against them already this season.

The Lakers have far too many issues and this is just not a good matchup for them.

Some trends to note, Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Clippers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Lakers are 17-36 ATS in the last 53 meetings.

Back the Clippers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -2.5

The Bucks have value here laying the points. 

As small road favorites here, this is a nice line on Milwaukee as they are playing at a solid level right now. Being the only undefeated team in the NBA, the Bucks have done it with solid defense combined with a lot of different players stepping up offensively. 

The Hawks have a difficult time stopping teams that are set up like the Bucks. Look for Milwaukee to get out and run here.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento -2.5

The Kings are the move Saturday. 

We're backing Sacramento as they have dominated this head to head series as of late. Coming into Saturday, the Kings have covered in 4 of the last 5 in this building. Overall, they have hit in 8 of the last 11 head to head meetings.

The Kings play quick and this will cause a lot of issues for the Magic. Combine that with the let down factor after Orlando's big win Thursday against Golden State and the value sits with the visitors.

Some trends to note. Kings are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Kings are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Warriors +4.5

We're taking the Warriors on a bounce back here on Friday.

Golden State blew an early double digit lead and eventually fell by one to the Orlando Magic. Golden State rarely sees losses pile up in bunches and this is a perfect spot to back them as they get right back out there.

New Orleans has had many defensive issues this season and this is not the team you want to have those against. Look for Golden State to push the tempo on the them here, as the Pelicans have struggled with teams who play with tempo.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City +6

We're on the Thunder here grabbing the points. 

Oklahoma City has been profitable as of late. They're covering games and they're playing much better at home. They come in with solid momentum after knocking off the Magic on Tuesday night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing at another level right now, giving this team a lot of energy. 

Denver meanwhile has been a rollercoaster. They've struggled to find consistency this season and defensively they are a mess against fast paced teams. This is a solid matchup for Oklahoma City, who loves to play quick with their young team. 

Some trends to note.  Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Head to head Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -3

We're fading the Lakers here on Wednesday. Los Angeles got their first win of the season, but this team still has far too many gaps. They struggle with quick teams and this Pelicans team is one that loves to play fast.

New Orleans dominated the Clippers last time out and they're putting up the 2nd most points per game at 118. 

Expect them to push the tempo on the Lakers, who have struggled mightily with transition defense.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Pelicans are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 road games.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns -3.5

We're on the Suns at home here on Tuesday.

Phoenix has been off to a hot start as Devin Booker has been one of the best in the league thus far. He's working to put an MVP type season together as it's been dominance on both ends of the floor for him. 

Overall, this Suns team has shot the ball extremely well and they should find plenty of open shooting lanes against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. Look for them to push the tempo on them, working to get some easy transition buckets.

Some trends to note. Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. Head to head Timberwolves are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and 4-9 ATS in the last 13 in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play 

Denver -3.5

Denver has value here laying the points in LA.

The Lakers have so many issues as this team once again looks like they will be a bottom tier team. From injuries to just struggles overall, this is not a team that is feared anymore.

Denver meanwhile has started to find their groove as they have so many playmakers. Their ability to shoot the 3 and attack will cause many issues here for the Lakers. Look for Denver to attack from all angles, putting LA in an early hole it can't get out of.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -7

We're on the Clippers laying the points here on Thursday. 

This is game 2 of two straight in OKC between these two teams. Los Angeles was bounced by 14 points a few days again and this is a revenge spot.

The Clippers are clearly the better team and will come out to prove a point here on Thursday. The Thunder shot unconscious throughout their win on Tuesday night, but that won't be the case here. Look for them to pick up the intensity defensively and really get out of the gates early in this one.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Orlando Magic +8.5

We're on the Magic here grabbing the points in Cleveland.

This is a let down spot for the Cavs. After a huge win in front of a sold out crowd for their home opener, they sandwich in the Magic before taking on the Celtics this weekend. 

Orlando has also fared well against Cleveland. They come in covering 7 out of the last 8 games against the Cavs and have gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Look for that trend to continue here as the Magic should be able to keep this one close with the Cavs potentially looking ahead.

Back Orlando.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +1.5

The Nets have value on the road here on Monday. 

Brooklyn comes in 1-1 and this team is going to be extremely good as the season goes on. They have depth, speed, and so many different weapons that can hurt opponents. 

They matchup well here with Memphis, as the Grizzlies just don't have as many weapons as this Nets side. Look for Brooklyn to attack here from many different angles and put the pressure on early. 

Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Nets are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 road games.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Phoenix +1.5

We’re on the Suns in LA on Sunday night.

The Clippers had a hard fought win on Saturday in Sacramento and coming into a back to back against this Suns team is not going to be fun at all.

Phoenix had an off day after their first loss of the season in overtime and that day to rest should prove vital. The Suns have been a great team when playing on rest and fatigue is going to be a huge factor for Los Angeles.

Look for Phoenix to get out and run on this Clippers defense, pushing the tempo in transition. 

Devin Booker has started this season averaging 30.5PPG and he will prove to be too much here.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -3

We’re on the Clippers here laying the small number.

This has been a successful building for the Clippers dating back many years. They come into Saturday winners of 15 straight in Sacramento, as they have simply dominated this side.

On top of that, they come in with momentum after knocking off the Lakers on Thursday night. 

Look for them to really push the tempo on the Kings, as Sacramento has had plenty of issues when it comes to defense. They struggle with stopping teams in transition and this Clippers side has far too many weapons.

Dating back to last year Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Kings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Head to head Clippers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Sacramento.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

New York Knicks -6.5

We're on the Knicks here laying the points.

Detroit went down big early to Orlando and needed a huge comeback in a game where they struggled defensively.

The Knicks have also been a very solid bounce back team. Coming into Friday, New York has gone 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. They typically come out with a lot of fire in games where they need a win and this should be the case. 

Some trends to note. Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Expect New York to feed off this home crowd energy.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (NY/DET)

Los Angeles Clippers -5.5

We're on the Clippers here against the Lakers.

The Lakers were blown away by the Warriors on Opening Night and this is another tough spot for them. 

The Clippers have dominated this series head to head as of late. Coming into play on Thursday, the Clippers have gone 35-17 ATS in the last 52 meetings. This isn't a small sample size either. They've been able to utilize their depth and really wear the Lakers down. 

Some trends to note. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Clippers are 24-7-1 ATS in their last 32 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

This is a nice spot on the Clippers to wear the Lakers down once again as Lebron and company just don't seem to have that spark.

Back the Clippers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play (LAC/LAL)

Denver -7

The Nuggets are worthy of a move here on Opening Night in the NBA.

Denver and Utah are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Nuggets are poised for a big run this season in the west while the Jazz are rebuilding after losing some key pieces. Ownership sent a message to this team that they don't want to compete after trading away Mitchell Gobert and Bogdanovic. 

Denver is just too quick and has far too many weapons for the Jazz. Look for Denver to put their foot on the gas early and not let up.

Dating back to last year Utah are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western conference teams.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2

The Celtics are worth the move on opening night in the NBA.

After a dramatic off season, this line has dropped significantly. Boston still has plenty of talent and they have the ability to do a lot of damage in the East.

This is a nice spot with the home crowd going to be energized. Combine that with the depth they acquired and Boston should be in for a big night. Brogdan will likely play the 6th man role and make a huge difference for this team off the bench.  Dating back to 21/22 the 76ers are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games.

Let’s grab the value with the home side.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -4

After a Game 3 loss in Beantown, the Warriors are now 3-5 straight up and 2-6 ATS on the road during the 2022 playoffs.

The Celtics are averaging 108 points in the finals and a +5.6 point differential in the playoffs overall. They held the Warriors to just 11 points in the 4th quarter in Game 3 and to just 16 points in the 4th through their Game 1 win.

Some recent trends to note, Boston's last 13 wins have been by 4 or more points. They scored 68 points on 57% shooting in the first half of Game 3 en route to a 116-100 win.

Play on the Celtics -4.0 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Golden State -4

The Warriors have value here in Game 2.

Golden State was dominating Game 1, but saw Boston take off in the 4th quarter. This time should be different.

The Warriors know they have to come out with some fire and steal that momentum back. Look for them to come out of the gates running as they can beat Boston with their transition game. They're at their best when they have the ability to turn defense into offense and get shots out of the run out.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -8.5

The Heat’s starters have struggled against the Celtics in this series. In game 4, they combined for just 18 points while being outscored by Jayson Tatum alone who put up 31 on Miami. In each of their 3 losses to the Celtics, they were outscored by at least 13.

Boston has been getting it done at both ends to the court with their offence averaging nearly 107 points against a Miami squad who has averaged just 100 points against through the playoffs. On defence, the Celtics are averaging less than 99 points against in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Some recent trends to note, just 4 players on the Heat’s squad scored in the double digits in game 5 and no Miami players surpassed 20 points. Boston is 86-68 in closeout games, which includes a 48-19 record at home.

Play on the Celtics -8.5 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Miami +1.5

We’re on the Heat in Game 5. Home court is the biggest factor here.

Miami as a whole this season has been a tough team to crack. The Heat have also been a solid bounce back team too. They rarely allow losses to come in bunches and that’s been the case even in this postseason. 

Expect them to feed off this crowd’s energy early on, as they’ll look to flip the script on the fast start. They’re at their best when they attack early and are able to turn solid defense into easy transition buckets.

Back Miami. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas PK

We're going to back Dallas here to keep things alive.

The Mavs are not as bad as they've looked in this series thus far. They're also a team that just won't rollover here.

Look for them to come out very inspired. We've seen the Warriors lay an egg or two this postseason in similar situations, which could be the case here on Tuesday.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite.Mavericks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite.

Back Dallas PK.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami +6.5

Miami has value here in Game 3. Boston stole home court advantage from the Heat as they dominated Game 2 in every which way. 

This is just too many points though. We saw Miami control Game 1 as this is still a very even matchup. Miami has a compliment of scorers who can make life miserable for this Celtics defense. While they saw many go cold in Game 2, that won't be the case here. Look for them to step up, especially early in this one on Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.

Back Maimi.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +6.5

We're backing the Mavs in Game 2.

This team is all about making adjustments. They have done it throughout the entire playoffs and thats what they should do here in Game 2. 

Look for them to get out of the gates much better in this one, not allowing Golden State to push the tempo on them like they did in Game 1. If they can lock down defensively early in this one, they'll be able to frustrate these Warriors shooters.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest.Mavericks are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +5

We're on the Mavs here in Game 1.

They have a legit shot at stealing this series. Golden State didn't look like they were at their best in the series against Memphis, a team that played without their superstar in the final few games.

Dallas is clicking on all cylinders right now. They embarrassed Phoenix in Game 7 and have looked sharp on both sides of the ball. Expect them to buckle down defensively, shutting down this Warriors attack.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Mavericks are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston +2

We're on Boston with the points.

The Celtics have hit their stride. After falling down 2-1 to Milwaukee, they have turned things up many notches. They're coming up with clutch shots, having different players step up every game as this team has been dominant.

They matchup well with the Heat and this is their chance to steal a game on the road. With Miami having a bit more of a layoff, the Celtics will be fresh while Miami tries to shake a little more rust off.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Celtics are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Boston. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -5

We're on the Celtics here in Game 7.

Boston fell behind 3-2 and took control in Game 6 early to send this one back to Boston for a winner take all match. Tatum is playing at another level right now and there is no slowing him down.

Look for Boston to feed off this home crowd energy, as they will look to get out early once again. With an early lead for the Celtics, Milwaukee will feel the pressure and be on their heels all afternoon long. Expect that to the case as the value sits here with the home side.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall.Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -5.5

We're on the Celtics here in Game 5.

Boston stole back home court with a huge 4th quarter in Game 4 and now have all the momentum as they head back home.

The Celtics are just a much deeper team. The Bucks looked as if they ran out of gas in Game 4 and with even much more physical play expected here in Game 5, Milwaukee just may not have enough steam to keep up with the Celtics.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Boston. Bucks are 1-9-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami -3

With the series shifting back to Miami here, we're on the Heat.

Miami saw Joel Embiid return for the 76ers as Philadelphia dominated Games 3 and 4 en route to tying the series. Miami still has a good track record overall against the 76ers and they've played very well at home this season. 

Miami won both Games 1 and 2 in solid fashion inside this arena and they are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games as a home favorite. Look for them to get back on track here Tuesday.

Some trends to note. Heat are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite.Heat are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Dallas PK

We're backing the Mavs to get themselves back in this series on Friday night.

Dallas had their chances in both Games 1 and 2, but saw the Suns go on one big run in each game to pull away. They know they can compete with this Suns side and they'll feed off the home crowd in this one.

Look for Dallas to get out of the gates early, especially given the rest situation. The short rest certainly benefits the younger and hungry Dallas side.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.Mavericks are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +6.5

We took the Suns in Game 1 and now we're flipping the script and grabbing the Mavs in Game 2. Phoenix covered in Game 1 as they held on despite leading by double digits for a while in the game.

Dallas is one of the best teams to make adjustments. They did just that in Game 1 but dug themselves too big of a hole to get out of. This is a game where they can come out and make those adjustments as they should give themselves a chance to compete here. 

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns -5.5

We're on the Suns here laying the number.

Phoenix has just been such a tough team to crack this year. They have one of the best backcourts in the game and they put so much pressure on when it comes to the defensive side of the ball.

This is a good matchup for them. They can really throw Dallas off their game as the Suns love to play fast. Look for them to push the tempo on the Mavs, really putting them on their heels. If this game is dictated by the Suns pace, Dallas will be in for a long night ahead.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -1.5

We're on the 76ers to close this series out. After leading 3-0, Phili has dropped back to back games to get this series on par.  

Still, this team is far deeper and better and this is their chance to avoid a high pressure Game 7. Philadelphia has been a solid road side this year. Sitting at 28-15 away from home, they rarely lose back to back road games.

Look for them to come out of the gates with far more fire than they had last time out. 

Some trends to note. Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.Raptors are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. 

Back to Philadelphia. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -8.5

The Warriors have value here laying the points.

We backed Golden State through the first three games and took Denver in Game 4. Here, we're coming back with the Warriors to close things out.

It took a heroic performance from Denver to hold off Golden State in Game 4 and now with the series back in California, things will be different. The Warriors feed off this home crowd and they'll push the tempo on Denver in this one. Look for much more disciplined defense, as they will have the pressure turned up from the tip.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Phoenix -6

The Suns are fired up right now after getting it handed to them last time out. There were some choice words, especially from Chris Paul during the game a few nights ago. Look for him to come out with a ton of fire himself in this one. 

Phoenix has been a money maker in the postseason. Even despite dropping 2 in this series, they are still 15-7 ATS in their last 22 playoff games as a favorite. Combine that wit them going 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Conference Quarterfinals games and they are poised for a big night.

Lay the points here.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +4.5

We backed Golden State in the first 3 games and now we're shifting to the Nuggets with the points.

Denver shot very well in Game 3 as they had their chance to get back in the series. This team plays much better at home and they're going to come out with a ton of fire knowing they don't want their season to end.

Look for a very passionate push from this Denver side on both ends of the floor, as they have a chance to steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games.Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta +1.5

We’re playing the Hawks here at home in Game 3. This is the game Atlanta can steal and get themselves back into the series. 

The Hawks were one of the best home teams in the 2nd half of the season as they feed off their home crowd. Look for this place to be rocking as Atlanta will pull out all the stops knowing this is their lone chance to get back into this. 

They found a bit of momentum in Game 2 despite losing, as they can push the tempo on this Miami team. Look for them to get out and run, putting the pressure in Miami early.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -2

We’re on the Warriors in Game 3. Golden State is just the better team here. They have far too many weapons on both ends of the floor.

We’ve seen them dominate the paint at both ends through the first two games and that should be the case here.

Denver has all the pressure on them and they just simply can’t keep up with the high flying attack the Warriors offer. 

Lay the points. Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray:

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Heat -7

We're on the Heat here laying the number.

Miami dominated game 1 and there is no reason they shouldn't do this again here in Game 2. They have far more talent than Atlanta and defensively, they are one of the best in the league. They shut down Trey Young in Game 1 and should be able to duplicate the performance here.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Miami.Hawks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -7

We're on the Warriors laying the points here again.

We backed this Golden State team in Game 1 and they dominated from the outset. This is another case here where they are going to be a tough team to crack in Game 2.

The Nuggets just don't have the firepower to keep up offensively and they're not quick enough on the defensive end. Look for the Warriors to push the tempo on them once again, resulting in another tough time for Denver.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Warriors are 30-12 ATS in their last 42 Conference Quarterfinals games.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Pelicans +10.5

We're grabbing the points here with the Pelicans. 

This is too many for a team that is playing with a ton of confidence right now. New Orleans comes in after winning the play in tournament and now have a chance to ride that momentum into Phoenix. 

This Pelicans team has plenty of guys who can score and attack, giving them a chance in any matchup. Look for them to play with a ton of pace and push the tempo here.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 playoff games as an underdog.Pelicans are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games.

Back New Orleans.

Warriors -6.5

The Warriors have value here.

It's go time for Golden State who is healthy and poised for a deep run.

They match up extremely well with the Nuggets. Denver struggles defensively and they just don't have enough firepower offensively. This is a lopsided matchup and the Warriors will feed off this home crowd.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 29-12 ATS in their last 41 Conference Quarterfinals games.Warriors are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.

We're on the Spurs here Wednesday night. 

San Antonio got hot down the stretch of the season as this team is playing at a very high level.

Combine that with their success against the Pelicans and this is a nice number on them. San Antonio has covered in 8 of the last 9 in this head to head series. On top of that, they've covered 7 straight inside this building.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -8.5

We're on the Nets here in the Eastern Conference 7/8 matchup. 

The Nets are a team nobody wants to see right now. They are playing well and are on a mission as a team. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving are playing at a top level and they may receive more reinforcements for this game as well.

Meanwhile, Cleveland will be without big man Jared Allen, which causes them a ton of issues. Injuries have plagued them and they'll hurt here on Tuesday without him at center.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall.Cavaliers are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 Tuesday games.

Back Brooklyn.

Thunder +17.5

We're playing the points here.

Oklahoma City has fared well against the Jazz as of late. They come into play on Wednesday covering 12 of the last 15 head to head meetings. On top of that, they are a solid 6-1 ATS in the last 7 inside this building.

This is a game the Jazz may overlook some, giving us great value on keeping it within the number.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Suns -11.5

This is an ultimate fade on the Lakers. This team is a mess as they continue to flop in every which way.

The chemistry isn't there and their poised to miss out on the playoffs with one of the best players in the game on their side. 

Phoenix meanwhile, has been the total opposite. They have a compliment of players who step up each night and they will overwhelm this Lakers side. Thats been the theme in the recent meetings as well, as Los Angeles comes in failing to cover in 6 straight head to head contests.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta -5.5

It's becoming time to fade the Cavs. They continue to battle injury after injury and they're struggling to keep up. 

Atlanta comes in off 136 point performance last night and this is a defense they can really pick apart. Look for the Hawks to push the tempo on Cleveland and really have them reeling. The Cavs defensive have been a mess and without their two big men in the paint, they've been very vulnerable. 

Lay the points.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Thunder +12.5

We're on the Thunder here.

This is simply a fade on the Hawks on the road. They come into play on Wednesday just 14-23 away from Atlanta. In those contests, the Hawks are just 12-25 ATS. 

This is a high number for a team that struggles in road situations. With the Thunder 19-4-4 ATS at home this season, they should be able to keep this one close.

Back Oklahoma City.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Chicago -4

We're on the Bulls here laying the points. 

Chicago has been solid as of late and they come in with a nice win in Cleveland on Saturday. This team has a lot of weapons that are simply going to overwhelm the Knicks here.

Look for them to control the paint on both ends of the floor as New York has had a lot of issues dealing with teams that have such a physical presence like the Bulls.

Some trends to note. Knicks are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games. Knicks are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss.

Back Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -7

The 76ers have value here laying the number. 

The Lakers come in off a win over Cleveland, a game in which you know Lebron James had a chip on his shoulder. However, this is a major let down spot for them.

They'll deal with a very physical and quick team that has the ability to put up points quickly.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -5.5

The Warriors and Lakers are both slumping right now. However, the Warriors are far better than this Lakers side.

Golden State will find this to be the perfect game to get out of their slump. The Lakers have struggled in every which way. Offensively, they are very inconsistent and defensively they have nobody stepping up.

Steph Curry will look to right the ship of the Warriors here on Saturday and he should find a lot of open shooting lanes against this defense.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games.

Back Golden State.

Raptors -8

Toronto has value here. 

These two teams just played in Brooklyn in a game where the Raptors won by 36 points. Kyrie Irving is not available against for the vaccination rules in Canada either.

Brooklyn is just lost without him or Durant in the lineup. 

Toronto is also a solid backing in such spots. They are 9-3 ATS in the second game of a back-to-back while the Nets are just 2-8 in the same situations.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Minnesota -3.5

We're on the Timberwolves here laying the points.

Minnesota welcomes in the Cavs who are battling injuries right now. Cleveland has struggled with Darius Garland out and he is expected to be out once again. While they did come from behind to beat Washington on Saturday, they simply aren't the same without Garland.

Look for Minnesota to be too much for this Cavs side, who has shown a lot of flaws offensively with these injuries.

Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss.Timberwolves are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington +8

The Wizards are worth the move here.

Cleveland has dropped 3 in a row as they are now battling some injuries. Defensively, they have been atrocious as of late and that has led to them getting put into some major holes.

Look for the Wizards to expose that here on Saturday as they should be able to keep this one close. Washington has some scorers and can shoot the 3. If they can get in rhythm early, they have a chance to really have the Cavs on their heels.

Grab the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
