Phoenix +2

The Suns are a sneaky good team.

Nobody really ever talks about them or gives them credit, which is just fine for them. They have value grabbing a couple of points here.

Phoenix has been a great backing at home for starters. They come into Wednesday a solid 23-9 ATS in their last 32 home games. They are beating top tier opponents and really utilizing their transition offense. Look for them to come out firing against the Jazz, who are a very different team themselves on the road versus when playing at home.

Some trends to note. Suns are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Suns are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -9

The Spurs have value laying the number. 

San Antonio catches a Cavs team that is battling injuries and just not playing well as a whole. 

They lack a defensive presence and struggle to get any sort of consistency on either side of the ball.

Look for San Antonio to expose that and pick them apart in the paint, as Cleveland struggles mightily with teams that love to attack the rim.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento -4.5

The Kings have value laying the number.

Sacramento is a tough team to deal with given their speed and ability to attack the rim. That doesn't bode well for this Lakers group that has struggled mightily without their two key stars.

They fell to these Kings in one of the first games without James and Davis and since then, Sacramento has played much better out of the two. The Kings have been a nice bounce back team as well, covering in 4 of the last 5 following an ATS loss.

Some trends to note. Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Kings are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -10.5

This is a perfect spot to fade the Magic. 

They come in on a huge high after beating the Clippers last time out in a huge upset. This Magic team dished away almost every key piece at the trade deadline, leaving them with very few weapons. 

This is a trap spot for them as they will have a huge let down. New Orleans plays extremely fast and it will cause their defense a lot of issues. Look for the Pelicans to get out and run as they will push the tempo all night long.

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

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -8.5

The Bucks have value laying the number here.

Los Angeles has been a struggle without Lebron and Davis in the lineup. They have managed just one solid game really and it was just for a half against the lowly Cavaliers last week.

Milwaukee is going to have a field day with this Lakers lineup. Look for them to run on them and attack the rim, as Los Angeles just doesn't have anyone that can slow these weapons down. Combine that with the lack of firepower the Lakers have offensively and this is a game where Milwaukee can put their foot on the gas early.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Lakers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Phoenix -6

The Suns have value laying the number.

Phoenix is going to pick apart this Atlanta defense. The Hawks struggle both with interior and behind the arc, as they are allowing opposing teams to shoot at very high percentages. 

The Suns run and gun style is going to overwhelm the Hawks, who haven't had much luck in this head to head series as of late. They come in just 7-15-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings between these two teams. 

Some trends to note. Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games.Suns are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a home favorite.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +4.5

The Cavs have value grabbing the points here.

Los Angeles is in off a game last night where they were worn down by Danny Green and the Clippers. This just hasn't been the same team obviously without Lebron James or Anthony Davis in the lineup. 

Cleveland is a scrappy group that comes in with momentum as they knocked off Chicago last time out. Look for them to attack this Lakers defense and open up some shooting lanes for their surprising compliment of three point shooters that have come about.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Golden State +2.5

The Kings are in on a back to back here. 

They had a hard fought win over the Hawks last night and things won't get easier for them with this Golden State team.

The Warriors play fast and attack the rim, which was one of the major flaws last night in their game against Atlanta. The Kings struggle with their interior defense and will have their hands full with this deep Golden State lineup.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Warriors are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -1.5.

We backed the Nuggets yesterday in a win over the Magic and we're going with them again here on Wednesday. 

Denver has been playing much better as of late and they come in with a nice edge over the Raptors 

In recent head to head meetings, the Nuggets have gone 20-6 ATS over the last 26 games these two teams have played. 

Toronto has had issues all over the place lately, with their most recent being the victims of ending the Rockets 20 game losing skid. Look for them to have issues with the speed and length of this Nuggets team all night long.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -7.5

The Nuggets have value laying the number here.

Denver has had a great track record here against the Magic. They come into Tuesday going 15-5-3 ATS in the last 23 meetings against the Magic as they have dominated them in a almost every facet. 

Meanwhile, the Magic situationally aren't in a good spot. Orlando has gone just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. They have struggled against top tier teams and have had issues with teams that love to push the tempo.

Some trends to note. Magic are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Magic are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +4

The Cavs have value grabbing the points. 

Cleveland comes in off an outright win over the Raptors as they dominated in every which way. They have been nice backing as a home underdog, going  5-1 ATS in their last 6 games in such situations. 

Look for them to dominate the paint here, as the Kings defense not only has a lot of flaws, but also struggles to slow teams down at the rim.

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

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -8

The Lakers have value laying the number here.

The Hornets were blown away last night in Denver, a game that saw them get absolutely torched from start to finish. 

Now, they have to endure another tough task with LA, who is playing very well as of late. The Lakers have covered in 4 straight overall and have covered in 5 of the last 6 against the Hornets. 

Look for them to really utilize the tired legs of Charlotte and push the tempo on them, going right at their defense on the run.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami -10

The Heat have value laying the points here.

Cleveland has just been a wreck this season. They are the center of many trade rumors and their young core has been very inconsistent. 

They take on a red hot Miami team that they don't matchup well with. Cleveland is just 2-8 ATS in the last 10 meetings and 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Miami. They struggle with the Heat's speed and physical play inside, which results in a lot of open shooting lanes created for Miami.

Expect this one to be played just too fast for Cleveland, who will struggle to keep up.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 21-43-1 ATS in their last 65 games playing on 1 days rest. Cavaliers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdog.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Los Angeles -2.5

The Lakers have value laying the small number here.

The Warriors have struggled against top tier teams as of late. They have gone just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

This is a case where situationally, the edge sits with the Lakers. They are playing better and catch the Warriors in the nice spot, where they are just 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 0 days rest.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -11

The Celtics have value laying the points.

Houston has been in absolute free fall mode. Losers in 15 straight, the Rockets have been battled with injuries and sloppy play all over.

This team just can’t compete with the likes of the Celtics. Boston has far too many weapons and should be able to dictate just about anything in this matchup. Expect them to come out firing, as they can put their foot on the gas early and attack.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -4.5

Portland has value laying the number on Saturday night.

Portland has a huge situational edge in this spot as the they have dominated the Wolves in the head to head battle.

Coming into Saturday, Portland has gone 40-14-2 ATS in the last 56 meetings. In that span, they have covered in 21 of 29 against the Wolves in Minnesota. Look for them to continue that trend here as they are too fast and have far too many weapons for Minnesota to compete with.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -3

Denver has won 5 straight and rolled into the break with ton of momentum. 

Here is another low spread on them which gives them very nice value.

Denver has covered in their last 4 games as they are taking it to opponents. They've also been a nice road backing as of late, covering in their last 4 away from home. 

They matchup well with this Memphis team, who likely can't match their physicality or strength. Look for them to control the paint at both ends and really have Memphis on wearing down as the game goes on.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -2.5

The Nets have value laying the low number here.

Boston is typically a nice bet at home, but on the road they can have their issues. That doesn't bode well for them going up against a team like Brooklyn either.

The Nets have a huge situational edge, as they have dominated Boston as of late. The Celtics come into Thursday 0-4 ATS in their last 4 in Brooklyn and just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 overall against the Nets.

This is just not a good match up for them as they will struggle mightily on the defensive side here.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Celtics are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -6.5

The Pacers have the value here on Wednesday night.

Cleveland has gone a little bit of a run as of late, but that stops here with this tough Indiana team. They are a difficult team to battle with, as they are extremely good on the defensive end. 

Indiana will turn this one into a grind, not allowing the Cavs to get anything easy at the rim. Look for them to dictate the tempo and put a ton of pressure on the Cavaliers here early.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games as a road favorite. Pacers are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 Wednesday games.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston +4.5

The Celtics have value grabbing the points here.

Boston has been money as a home underdog. The Celtics are 18-5 ATS in their last 23 games as a home underdog. They are a team that always finds themselves in close games, which will typically allow them to cover the number. 

Look for this one to be a physical game all night long, as both teams love to attack the rim. 

We should see a back and forth affair, with this one coming down to the wire.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.Celtics are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans +7

The Pelicans have value grabbing the points. 

They come into play here with solid home record ATS at 9-7 thus far. This team deserves a bit more respect than grabbing 7 at home. 

They've fell to the Jazz twice this season and are in a nice revenge spot here too. Given the pace they play with, they have the ability to keep up with Utah and push the tempo in transition on them.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Pelicans are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 Monday games.

Grab the points.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -4

The Lakers have value laying the small number here. 

Los Angeles got back in the win column and now will look for some revenge on the Warriors. The Lakers come in with momentum for the first time in a while here.

They took down the Trail Blazers last time out as they finally found success on both sides of the floor. Despite Davis being out, they still managed to get some key pieces back as this team is getting healthy.

Look for them to play another aggressive type game against the Warriors, as they will try to assert their dominance in the paint. They should find plenty of solid looks at the rim, as they can take control of this game early.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -10.5

The Jazz are in a bounce back spot here on Saturday.

This team has been rolling all season long and suffered a rare set back against Miami on Friday. However, this is the perfect opponent for them to take some frustrations out on.

Orlando ranks near the bottom on the defensive side of the ball and will have to deal with far too many weapons on this Jazz team. The Jazz have also been playing some great ball on the road, going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 away from home.

Look for them to come out extremely aggressive in this one as they'll look to attack early and in transition.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games as a favorite. Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland +5.5

The Trail Blazers have value grabbing the points. 

Portland takes on a cold Lakers team right now. With Anthony Davis sidelined, this team has just not found it as of late. 

Things will be tough for them here given how well this Portland team can shoot. Portland has had a great month of February thanks to their three point attack. They've shown the ability to have multiple people hit the 3 ball at any given time. Expect them to overwhelm this Lakers team as they will struggle to slow down the attack all night long.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Trail Blazers are 22-8 ATS in the last 30 meetings in Los Angeles.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston -3

The Rockets have value laying the small number here.

Cleveland shocked the Hawks with a win last night, but this team still has plenty of issues to handle.

That won't bode well for them when taking on this Rockets team that can shoot the 3 ball very well. Cleveland ranks 30th in 3 point field goal defense as they just haven't been able to close out on shooters well.

Expect Houston to get out and run and look for the open 3 ball, as that should be the difference maker here.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 20-45 ATS in their last 65 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Cavaliers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta -7

The Hawks have value laying the number here.

Cleveland has been an ultimate fade as of late. They are 0-10 ATS in their last 10 as they have just been getting trounced by the opposition. 

To make matters even worse for them, they are still sitting Andre Drummond out and trying to deal him. The drama and the struggles combined have caused enough riff for this team. 

Atlanta is one of the better offensive teams as they love to attack. Expect them to be extremely aggressive toward the Cavs here today, as Cleveland just hasn't been able to slow any one down lately.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Hawks are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 Tuesday games.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas -5

This is a nice spot to fade Memphis.

The Grizzlies have been dealing with a lot of missing players and it is all starting to become too much for them. 

Last time out the Suns exposed that in a big way as they routed the Grizzlies from start to finish.

Dallas dominated the Grizzlies last time these two teams met and typically play well when coming in off 2 days of rest. Look for them to mimic the Suns strategy last game and really push the tempo on the Grizzlies.

Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. Mavericks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -10

The Bucks have value laying the number here.

Milwaukee catches the Kings at a great time here. The Kings were dominated by the Bulls last night in a game where their defensive flaws certainly showed. 

The Kings just don't have enough to keep up with Milwaukee. Look for them to struggle with the speed and strength that this team brings, as the Bucks should be able to get out and run on this team.

Some trends to note. Kings are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 games as a road underdog. Kings are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss.

Back Milwaukee. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -3.5

Portland is on quite the run here. This team is doing just about everything right and they lay a low number against a lower tier opponent here.

Washington has shown some signs of brilliance, but a lot of that has been overshadowed by their struggles. This team has had issues all over the place and that isn't something you need to have when you have to go up against this offensive attack. 

Portland is getting contributions from a lot of different players and shooting the 3 ball at a ridiculous rate. Expect them to overwhelm the Wizards in this one.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games playing on 2 days rest. Wizards are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -8

The Nuggets have value laying the number here.

Fading Cleveland has been a money maker as of late. This team is just a mess top to bottom. They have internal drama with all the rumors of trades coming about and on the court they can't seem to figure anything out.

Denver just blew Cleveland away last week and this one should be no different. Look for them to control the tempo and just overwhelm this Cavs team, that is not playing well at all right now.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Friday games. Cavaliers are 18-41-1 ATS in their last 60 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3

The Celtics have value laying the small number at home.

This team has been extremely profitable at home and we saw that yesterday. 

Here, they catch an Atlanta team that struggles a lot on the defensive end. Atlanta gives up nearly 113 per game and that isn't going to be a good sign here against a Boston team that plays with a ton of confidence at home.

The Celtics have gone 7-2 ATS in their last 9 as home favorites. 

Some other trends to note here. Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest. Celtics are 35-15-3 ATS in their last 53 Wednesday games.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2.5

The Celtics have value laying the number here.

Boston seems to be a tough team to crack when playing at home. Over their last 8 games at home, the Celtics have gone 6-2 ATS in that span. They also tend to play much better against top their competition. The Celtics are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

This is a game where they know they have to physical. Look for them to put the clamps down defensively and try to control the paint on the offensive end.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -8.5

We fade the Cavs yesterday and it is worth doing once again here today.

Golden State is also in a bounce back spot which will give us even more of an edge here.

Cleveland is just a mess. They have now failed to cover in 10 straight games and the team morale is just a mess. Andre Drummond is on his way out and the rest of the cast is just completely frustrated. 

Golden State comes in off a blowout loss to the Nets, which should see them put a huge emphasis on bouncing back defensively. Look for them to have the Cavs on their heels all night long in a game where they can pull away early.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Monday games. Cavaliers are 10-25-2 ATS in their last 37 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -11

This Cavs team is a mess. That is the only way to put it right now. 

Fading them has been a money maker as of late. They are 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road contests. 

They are struggling on both sides of the ball and are getting torched in transition. This Clippers team has had their number as well. They have covered in 4 straight against Cleveland, which includes a beat down in Cleveland a month back.

Look for this one to turn into another blow out, as the Cavs just aren't playing with any confidence right now.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 18-40-1 ATS in their last 59 games playing on 1 days rest. Cavaliers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +3

The Nuggets have value grabbing the points. 

Los Angeles has been playing some inconsistent basketball as of late. They've found themselves down a lot early, having Lebron James getting the task of getting them out of the hole. 

That isn't something you can do against this Nuggets team.

Denver is 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 against the Lakers and typically play well on Sundays. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 Sunday games. Expect them to come out with a lot of aggression as they can run on this Lakers team.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Nuggets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -4

The Nets have value laying the number. 

Brooklyn wil get a look at Steph Curry, who is one a different level right now. However, there are far more weapons on that Brooklyn side than Golden State has.

The Nets tend to get up for the high opponents too, as they love to prove a point. They've gone 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Look for them to set the tempo early, as the Warriors will try to slow the game down, as they tend to get out of their comfort zone when the speed of the game picks up on them.

Some trends to note. Nets are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Nets are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Golden State.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -3

The Jazz have value laying the number.

Utah has been the hottest team in the NBA lately as they continue to run over opponents. 

This Jazz team has also dominated the Bucks in recent head to head meetings too. They come in 16-5 ATS in their last 21 against Milwaukee in Utah. Overall, they are a solid 28-8 ATS in the last 36 meetings. 

Look for them to continue their dominance on both sides of the floor here, as they are playing with a ton of confidence right now.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Jazz are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -3

The Pacers are in a nice bounce back spot.

They ran into an angry Brooklyn team on Wednesday that they just couldn't get anything going against. This is a much better spot for them. 

The Pacers are a very physical team that the Pistons will struggle with. Expect them to have issues with the strength the Pacers play with in the paint on both sides of the floor. This is going to be a grind it out kind of game, which favors Indiana big time.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Pacers are 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -3

The Pelicans have value laying the number here.

This one is predicated on their recent success in Chicago. The Pelicans have been dominant in such situations, going 9-1 ATS in their last 10 visits here. Look for them to continue that trend as they love to turn up the pressure and really push the tempo on Chicago.

The Bulls are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 overall, really reeling as they struggle to find a supporting cast for LaVine. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Pelicans are 23-8 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -2

The Raptors have value laying the small number.

Memphis has cooled off big time as of late. They have dropped 3 in a row and come in off an awful performance against New Orleans. 

Now, they must deal with a very physical Toronto team. The Raptors have won 7 straight meetings with the Grizzlies and they've done it with dominant play on both ends of the floor.

Expect them to continue that trend here, especially given that Memphis is just 3-6 at home this season.

Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Raptors are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 Monday games.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -8.5

This is a great spot to fade the Kings.

They come in on the 2nd leg of a back to back after a huge upset win over the Nuggets. This is a let down spot for them. 

They will not only deal with fatigue here, but also have a much more physical and quicker team to deal with. Look for the Clippers to get out and run on the Kings right from the start, really putting them on their heels early in this one.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games following a ATS loss.Clippers are 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up loss.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Lakers -14

The Lakers are in a nice spot on Saturday night. 

Detroit actually shocked the Lakers last time these two teams met in Detroit, but the story is going to be way different here.

Los Angeles comes in off a dominant 2nd half performance against the Nuggets and are playing with a lot of confidence right now. The Pistons meanwhile have dropped back to back games since that win over LA. 

Expect Lebron and company to not take kindly to that last performance against Detroit and come out with a lot of aggression in this one.

Some trends to note. Pistons are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Pistons are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Milwaukee -10.5

The Cavaliers have seemed to lost it.

After their hot start to the season, they're now getting blown out on the constant. The Clippers demolished them Wednesday in Cleveland and this one should be no different.

The Bucks offensively are just too much. 

Look for Milwaukee to pick apart this Cleveland defense and frustrate them all night long as they just have too many weapons for them to try and handle.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Cavaliers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Milwaukee.

The Cavs seem to always play up to their competition. 

They have put together solid performances at home against some of the top tier teams in the league and this one will be no different on Wednesday night. 

Cleveland welcomes in the Clippers and they always have the energy and grind to compete with these kinds of teams. Look for Cleveland to be extremely aggressive and attack on both ends of the floor in this one. 

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.Cavaliers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +2.5

The Warriors have value grabbing the points.

This pick is centered around the injuries Boston is dealing with. Marcus Smart will be out for this contest on Tuesday, which is a huge deal. 

Not only is he the Celtics biggest threat offensively, but he is the kind of guy that would have to shut down Steph Curry. 

With Boston dropping two in a row, this is not an ideal matchup for them given the Warriors speed.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -4.5

Last night we took Minnesota with the points and they prevailed outright for a win. 

Now, we're flipping the script here and taking Cleveland at home on Monday night. 

Cleveland has just been a much different team at home. They come into Monday 6-4 inside Rocket Mortgage Field House and have put together solid performances against the likes of the Nets and Lakers here. 

They play with a lot more confidence and should able to carry the load here on Monday as they saw that Minnesota is a struggle defensively.

Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 15-31 ATS in their last 46 games overall.Timberwolves are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Minnesota +3.5

The Timberwolves are the move on Sunday night. 

Cleveland has been a different team on the road versus when they play at home as of late. They are just 3-6 away from home this season and seem to struggle more on both sides of the ball in such situations. 

Minnesota is a team that can play quick and throw them off their rhythm early. Expect the Timberwolves to get out and run here, as they know they have to beat this Cavaliers team with transition buckets.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 6-16 ATS in their last 22 games as a road favorite.Cavaliers are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -5.5

This is a huge let down spot for the Pistons.

They come in off a win over the Lakers in a game they truly dominated from start to finish. Now, they have to head west to deal with Golden State which is not going to be an easy task.

The Warriors play extremely quick and they are going to really overwhelm this Pistons' defense.

Look for them to struggle to slow Curry and company down, in a game that will turn into a track meet that the Pistons cannot keep up in.

Some trends to note. Pistons are 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.Pistons are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +1

The Cavs have value on the road here. 

Cleveland has showcased they are going to be a competitive team in 2021 as they come in offer another win. 

The Cavs have a lot of weapons on both sides of the floor and they are itching to get back at the Knicks here. New York went into Cleveland early this season and knocked them off, but this Cavs team is a lot different since then. 

Expect Cleveland to continue to push the issue offensively in transition and to utilize their length and depth on the defensive end.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland +3

Portland has value grabbing the points. 

These Houston Rockets are a tough team to figure out. They've shown they can be good without Harden, but there have also been a lot of stretches where they have struggled and looked disjointed. 

This is not the competition you want to see when trying to find an identity. 

Portland plays extremely fast and can shoot the ball with the best. Look for them to push the tempo on Houston all night long and really have them on their heels, especially in transition. That should open up a lot of shooting lanes for them in this one.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Trail Blazers are 22-10 ATS in their last 32 Thursday games.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -3

The Lakers are the move on Wednesday in Philadelphia.

This is a low line and Los Angeles has had no problems as of late. The Lakers have won 8 of their last 9 and they're dominating at times during this stretch. 

They are a team that has a lot of weapons offensively, that makes them just so tough to guard. If it isn't James or Davis stepping up, someone else can fill the shoes it seems every night. 

Look for them to pick up the defensive intensity here as they have had a lot of success in Philadelphia as of late.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Philadelphia. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -2.5

We backed the Cavs a couple of days ago against the Lakers and they have value once again here.

Cleveland seems to play much better at home and they have dominated the Pistons as of late in this head to head series. 

Coming into Wednesday, Cleveland has gone 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams. Detroit is also just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 in Cleveland.

The Cavaliers are a scrappy bunch that causes a lot of issues for teams on both ends of the floor. Look for them to control the paint and really frustrate this Pistons team from start to finish.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games.Cavaliers are 31-15-1 ATS in their last 47 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -10.5

The Jazz are in a nice revenge spot on Tuesday night.

They blew an 18 point lead to the Knicks a few weeks back, but since then things have been completely different. 

The Jazz have won 8 straight since then, while the Knicks have dropped 5 in a row. Utah is getting it done on both ends of the floor as they continue to put together complete performances. 

Utah has got out of the gates early and you can expect that here on Tuesday, as they should be able to get a quick start against this struggling New York defense.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Jazz are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City +5.5

The Thunder have some value grabbing the points.

Portland comes in off a win over the Knicks in game they nearly blew a 20+ point lead in. They failed to cover as that has been a recurring theme for them in 2021. Portland is just 6-9 ATS and they have struggled at times playing a complete game start to finish.

The Thunder are a modest 5-4 away from home and they are one of the toughest teams to shoot three pointers against. 

Expect them to slow down this Portland brigade of three point shooters and keep this one close throughout.

Some trends to note. Thunder are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Thunder are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as a road underdog.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +10.5

The Cavaliers have value grabbing the points. 

Cleveland opened a lot of eyes with back to back wins over the Nets last week. However, they came to an abrupt halt after allowing 141 points last night in Boston.

However, don't count them out in this spot. Cleveland is going to get up for this game and they tend to play much better at home. 

Expect the Cavs to focus in on the defensive efforts that led them to the top ranked defense in the NBA prior to last nights beatdown.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.Cavaliers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +6.5

The Warriors are surprising a lot of people.

They have put up some solid fights against top tier teams and this one should be no different.  It starts with Steph Curry and his ability to carry the load offensively. He has done a lot already this season and everyone is feeding off his energy. 

The Warriors have also been a solid rebound team. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 following a loss. Combine that with them being 5-2 ATS in the last 7 as an underdog and the value sits with them here on Saturday night.  

Some trends to note. Warriors are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 days rest. Warriors are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games. 

Back Golden State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -7.5

This is a prime revenge spot. Cleveland saw Colin Sexton go off and needed every shot of his to go in to beat the Nets in Cleveland a few days ago.

This is going to be a game where Brooklyn comes out with some anger. 

They had some flaws exposed on Wednesday night, but they are just too powerful of a team to not bounce back here. Look for them to come out firing and for them to put an emphasis on the defensive end. Cleveland isn't going to shoot as well as they did last time out either, which gives a huge edge to the Nets.

Some trends to note. Nets are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Nets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles +1

The Lakers have value here on the road. 

A potential Finals preview here on Thursday has these two pinned against each other in Milwaukee. 

The Lakers are a perfect 7-0 on the road and they certainly have an edge here. They come into Thursday 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Bucks fell to the Nets last time out as they have struggled against top tier teams before. Look for them to have their hands full with the Lakers, who will come out with a purpose after blowing a lead late against the Warriors last time they took the floor.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -10

The Nets have nice value here.

Cleveland has been an up and down team, but right now they have some lingering issues. News broke earlier this week that they had a scuffle in the locker room that involved Kevin Porter Jr. 

That isn't what this team needs with Brooklyn in town. 

The Nets took down the Bucks earlier this week and they are riding high with Harden now in the loop. They simply have too many weapons and are expected to have Irving back in this one.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Nets are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -6.5

The Clippers have value here.

Los Angeles has won 3 in a row and they’re rolling right now. They blew away the Kings last time out in a 38 point route as they’re clicking on all cylinders offensively. 

Expect them to overwhelm Indiana, who doesn’t have enough firepower. The Pacers don’t have the weapons nearly enough to keep up. Given this is their last game on the west coast trip, they likely will have a lack of focus too, as they’re ready to return home.

Back Los Angeles. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

New York -2

The Knicks have value laying the small number here.

Cleveland is thin with injuries and after getting involved in the blockbuster deal that sent Harden to the Nets. 

The Knicks are a tough team to crack and they saw that earlier this season when New York came in here and beat them. 

With the lack of depth for the Cavs, look for the Knicks to try to run on them and get open shots in transition, which was very successful in the first head to head meeting.

Some trends to note. Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.Knicks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +3

The Pacers have value grabbing the points. 

Portland just comes in off a track meet game against the Kings last night that saw them go up and down the floor intensely the entire night. 

Fatigue is certainly going to play a factor here. 

On top of that, this Indiana defense is much more physical and tougher than the Kings. Look for them to impose their will and really wear down this Portland team.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Pacers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte +4.5

This is a nice value play on Wednesday. 

Dallas has been a rollercoaster thus far and even despite the return of Porzingis, he will likely be on limited minutes here on Wednesday night. 

Dallas is also still very limited because of Covid issues. They'll be without Josh Richardson, Jalen Brunson, and Dorian Finney-Smith. 

Charlotte beat Dallas by 19 earlier this season and they have been playing well as of late. Look for them to keep this one close and have a shot at stealing it outright.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. Mavericks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

Back Charlotte.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -5

These two teams played on Sunday in a Lakers route and there is no reason not to expect that once again here.

Houston has played incredibly poor defense and it's led to them putting themselves in some deep holes early. 

This Lakers team is far too quick and talented for them. Look for Los Angeles to do a lot of similar things to Sunday, as they got out and ran in transition, controlling the tempo. The Rockets have struggled to slow teams down and they will have their hands full once again.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.Lakers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -5

The Trail Blazers have value laying the number.

There are a lot of situational edges that favor the Trail Blazers here. 

For starters, the Raptors are just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 overall. This team has stumbled out of the gates so far in 2021 as they continue to struggle to put together complete performances. 

On top of that, the Raptors haven't fared well here. They are jut 7-15 in the last 22 head to head meeting ATS. 

Some other trends to note. Raptors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games overall.Raptors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -15

The Bucks have value laying the number.

Milwaukee comes in off a loss to Utah, at home last night. They’ll be licking their chops to get back out there.

Utah came out guns blazing and it resulted in them shooting at an unreal rate from 3. That won’t happen here with this Cavs team that is lacking depth and numbers with so many injuries.

Look for Milwaukee to get out of the gates early on them and run, putting Cleveland in a tough position.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -9.5

The Lakers have value laying the number here. 

The Bulls are in off a huge upset win over Portland. They trailed by 17 at one point, but battled back thanks to poor defense by the Trail Blazers.

You won't find poor defense here on Friday for the Lakers. They love to put the pressure on and can really overwhelm this Bulls team. Look for them to suffocate shooters and turn defense into offense as they get out quickly in transition.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.Lakers are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 0 days rest.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis -4.5

This is a great spot for Memphis. 

They catch the Cavs in the midst of their fifth game on a six game road swing. They have dealt with some injuries as well and with this being a back to back, they have a lot working against them here. 

Memphis has played well over their recent stretch and should be able to build off some momentum from last game. While it was a loss, they took the defending champions to the brink in a  94-92 loss. They are a stingy defensive group that can cause a lot of issues for this Cavs team on Thursday.

A trend to note here. Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. 

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +2

The Warriors have value grabbing the points. 

Los Angeles will come in on a back to back here, which mean we could see some starters sit for the Clippers. They come in off a loss against the Spurs last night as they dug themselves a deep hole they couldn't get out of. 

Leonard typically will never play the 2nd leg of a B2B and Paul George has been battling an ankle injury. That bodes well for a Warriors team that may have found it. With Draymond Green returning, they have played much better on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. 

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston +2.5

The Celtics are a nice move on Wednesday night.

Boston should have Marcus Smart in the lineup and this team has been money when grabbing points. 

Over their last 27 games as an underdog, the Celtics have gone 21-6 ATS. 

Overall thus far, the Celtics are showing they are a top team in the East. With the likes of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, this team is playing at a top tier level. The contributions have come from a lot of different players as well, as they are one of the deepest teams in the East.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.Celtics are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Houston +2

The Rockets offer some nice value with the points.

A lot of people aren't giving Houston much credit. You see their 2-3 start and don't think they deserve it, but you're incredibly wrong. They haven't even been close to full strength, but continue to battle and have even found ways to win games. 

This is a great matchup for the Rockets. Indiana's defense has been up and down thus far, as well as their offensive production. 

The Rockets can utilize a lot of pace and push the tempo on them here.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -9.5

Portland has the value here. 

Chicago has a lot of issues they've been dealing with as of late. From injuries to COVID-19, they will be without SG Tomas Satoransky, PF Lauri Markkanen, SF Chandler Hutchinson, and PG Ryan Arcidiacono on Tuesday night.

Playing shorthanded is never easy and having to deal with Portland is going to be a tall task.

Portland loves to play quick and has a compliment of shooters behind their pace. Look for them to get out and run on Chicago, putting them in an uncomfortable tempo.

Some trends to note. Bulls are 18-38 ATS in their last 56 games following a straight up win.Bulls are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS win.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -2.5

The Raptors have the value laying the number.

Toronto has been one of the more disappointments thus far into the NBA season. They are just 1-4, but playing far below what they are capable of. 

This is a great situational spot for them. They catch Boston after they played a tough game against the Pistons just last night. The energy level may not be there for the Celtics, benefiting the Raptors in this case.

Toronto has also been great after ATS loss'. They come in 20-9-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a ATS loss.

Some other trends to note. Raptors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Monday games.Raptors are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Portland -5

Portland has tremendous value here.

The Trail Blazers just simply are too fast for this Warriors team. Golden State has shown they have a lot of issues to iron out this year, as they once again feature a depleted roster. 

Portland is not the team you want to see when you have issues. They love to play fast and have weapons both inside and out that can hurt you. Look for them to pick up the tempo and run on this Golden State team, that really doesn't have enough firepower to keep up.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog.Warriors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta -6

The Hawks have tremendous value on Saturday night.

Cleveland has came back to reality after their 3-0 start, dropping back to back games in blowout fashion.

Now, they have to face a Hawks team off a win in Brooklyn. Atlanta has been one of the most dangerous offensive teams through the early portion of this season and the Cavs simply can't keep up here. Look for Atlanta to get out and run, having Cleveland on their heels all night long.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Clippers -3

The Clippers have value laying the small number. 

Utah played Thursday night to a home loss to the Suns. The Jazz just haven’t played up to par and they’ve certainly struggled from behind the arc.

This isn’t an ideal opponent for them. 

Los Angeles is an overwhelming team and can really fluster Utah on Friday. Look for them to suffocate their shooters and control the paint as the Jazz simply do not have an answer for this Clippers team.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +7

The Cavs are a valuable move grabbing the points. 

Cleveland dropped their first of the season to New York, but this team has been good overall so far this season. They have done everything right and played with a lot of energy on both sides of the floor. 

They should be able to keep this one close here. It seems they've played up to the higher competition and have use their speed to beat teams. They love to attack and should be able to get out in transition against the Pacers here.

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

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Lakers -6

The Lakers are in a nice bounce back spot.

Los Angeles raced out to a big lead against the Trail Blazers on Monday, only to falter late in the 4th quarter. With Lebron James and Anthony Davis both in the lineup that night, there is still a bitter taste left for this Lakers team.

This is a Spurs lineup they matchup well with. San Antonio isn't going to overpower anyone by any means. They love to play a half court game and they will have a tough time matching the speed of LA here. Look for the Lakers to get out and run as they will attack the rim all night.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Wednesday games.Spurs are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss.

Back Los Angeles. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto +2.5

The Raptors are a nice move on Tuesday night. 

Toronto has started the season 0-2, but catch Philadelphia here at the right time. The 76ers were blown out by the Cavaliers last time they took the floor and have a very shot confidence. 

Philadelphia is also a team that doesn't have as many weapons as they typically do. Aside from Simmons and Embid, there isn't much depth this season to Philadelphia. Look for Toronto to get themselves going early here as they are extremely motivated to get their first win. 

Some trends to note. Raptors are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Raptors are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 road games.

Situationally, this one makes a lot of sense.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -6.5

The Nuggets are the move on Monday night. 

The Rockets have had drama to start the season with players not following protocols. That has left them shorthanded and they needed an epic James Harden performance just to stay in the game against Portland. While they nearly stole it, it's going to be tough for him to put the team on his back like that again. 

Denver is a deep team that can slow Harden down. Look for them to put a focus on that, while they try to make someone else on this depleted Rockets roster beat them. Given the strength this offense has for Denver, they should be able to put together a complete performance here.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.Nuggets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 Monday games.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -3.5

The Warriors are a nice move on Sunday. 

They have clearly struggled with the absence of some key stars, but this is a matchup they have an edge in.

The Bulls have been a wreck through their first two games, especially on the defensive end. They haven't been able to slow anyone down and they've struggled with controlling the paint. Look for Golden State to attack the rim here, as the Bulls just haven't had any luck slowing down the Hawks or Pacers inside the arc.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -3

The Nets are a nice move here on Christmas Day.

Brooklyn is going to be a dangerous team this season. While their main core of Durant and Irving have already shown they are clicking, the supporting cast is extremely impressive.

They handled the Warriors from start to finish in their opener and now take on a Celtics team will still have some issues here in the early going.

They replaced a few pieces and aren’t going to be as good on the defensive end. Expect Brooklyn to exploit that here on Friday and really attack the rim like they did in their opener.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck. Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -8.5

Grabbing this line now is extremely valuable.

Golden State started the season off in Brooklyn and just absolutely got throttled from start to finish. This line should just keep going up as the game gets closer.

The Warriors just lack any sort of spark aside from Curry. They don't have the firepower any more offensively and struggle to even slow teams down.

Milwaukee plays extremely fast and their length and speed will own the Warriors in this spot.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 22-10 ATS in their last 32 Friday games.Bucks are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -2

The Hornets are a nice move on Wednesday night. 

These two teams open the season with oddsmakers not having too much faith in either. 

Charlotte is an interesting team, especially given the drafting of LaMelo Ball. They have the ability to put up some points with him and the cast around him, making them a dangerous team. 

This Cleveland team has a lot of gaps to fill and will even be without Kevin Love here for Opening Night. Look for them to have issues slowing down the speed of Charlotte, which should result in some easy transition buckets for the Hornets.

Some trends to note. Hornets are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 road games.Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite.

Back Charlotte.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -5

The Nets have value laying the number here. 

Kevin Durant left Golden State after the 2018-2019 season and now will see his former team for the first time after the weird season that unfolded with him being out. 

Him and Irving will take the court for the first time together and catch Golden State at the right time here. With Thompson out, Curry remains the sole point of scoring for this Warriors team. With this being the opening game, you have to expect the intensity to pick up.

Look for the Nets to bottle up Curry and for their offense to take off here in the early going.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.Nets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -7

The Lakers have value laying the number here on Friday. 

Los Angeles took control of the series with a win last time out and now can close the Heat out here.

Lebron James and company have looked to be on a mission and that in turn has led them to some dominant play on both sides of the floor. Look for them to get out early in this one and really put their foot on the gas, as they have been able to dictate the pace for the most part in this series.

With an early lead here, the Heat will be on their heels and the pressure will be on, which will be too much to overcome against this Lakers squad.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -7

The Lakers have value laying the points here.

Jimmy Butler and Lebron James exchanged words in the 4th quarter as the Heat got themselves back into the series. 

However, Lebron and company know they can play much better than they did in Game 3 and we should see that here. The Lakers have responded to every loss they've had in the bubble. They have come out in the next game with a ton of aggression and taken control from the outset. Look for them to do just that here as we should see them turn up the defensive pressure. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite.Lakers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 playoff games as a favorite.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami +5

The Heat have value grabbing the points in Game 1.

Miami has been a team inside the bubble that hasn't backed down from anyone. They are the complete package, top to bottom, on both sides of the floor. 

The Heat just absolutely attack and have plenty of offensive weapons that can cause a lot of havoc. 

The Lakers have had issues on the defensive end inside the bubble themselves, which doesn't bode well for them. Miami has the ability to steal Game 1 here as they can frustrate the Lakers and have them on their heels this evening. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games overall.Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Miami.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +6

The Nuggets have the value catching points here.

They haven't been too far off in this series. They should have won Game 2 and Game 4 saw them take LA to the brink. 

The Nuggets are very familiar with being down and having their backs against the wall inside the bubble. They tend to play well with the pressure on and they have found that they can matchup with the Lakers. 

Look for them to come out with the same style and aggression, not allowing LA to get into the rhythm they've been trying to get in over the last few games.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Nuggets are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami +3.5

The Heat have value grabbing the points.

Miami secured  3-1 lead with Tyler Herro making a huge statement in Game 4. Boston fell behind and couldn't climb out of the hole as they now have their backs against the wall here.

Miami has proven they are just a deep team that can make a lot of teams frustrated. They have so many weapons that can hit you and we saw that with their inside out game in Game 4. Look for them to put the aggression on early and really have Boston scrambling here.

Some trends to note. Heat are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.Heat are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3

The Celtics came out with a purpose in Game 3 and now have a shot at evening things back up.

Boston has held big leads in all 3 games, but have managed just one win. 

If Game 3 showed us anything, it's that this Celtics team is better on both sides of the floor. They buckled down defensively and turned Miami turnovers into easy points.

Look for that to be the same here once again, as Boston will turn the pressure up on Miami. The Heat struggled mightily to find open looks and that should be the case once again here on Wednesday night in Game 4. 

Some trends to note. Celtics are 23-8-1 ATS in their last 32 playoff games as a favorite.Celtics are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -7.5

The Lakers have value laying the number here.

Los Angeles showed in Game one that they are just too inferior for Denver.

They dominated in every facet as the Nuggets just couldn’t slow them down. The tough fact is that it wasn’t even LeBron James who beat them. The supporting cast around him were the ones that the Nuggets couldn’t stop. 

Expect LeBron James to come out even more aggressive after the MVP voting and we should see LA dominate once again.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2.5 

The Celtics have value to get back into this series here.

It's pretty much do or die for them, as they trail 2-0 in the series. Favorites prior to the series, Boston still has the complete all around team. 

This is a game they will come out with some fire. You could see the frustration settle in as the final seconds came down in Game 2 and this team typically does respond well to losses.

Look for them to set the tone early in this one and really buckle down defensively, something that has given them the most success inside this bubble.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.Celtics are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 playoff games as a favorite.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +7

The Nuggets continue to surprise everyone as they battle the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals here.

Denver erased another 3-1 deficit as they took down the Clippers in quite a fashion.

They absolutely dominated top to bottom in the final 2 games of the series thanks to their length on the defensive end, turning defense into offense in transition. If they can bring that same defensive mentality into play here, we should be able to see them compete, with a chance to steal this one outright.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Nuggets are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami +2.5

The Heat have value with the points here.

If Game 1 proved anything it's that the Heat have the ability to compete with this Celtics team. They battled back all night long and eventually stole Game 1, lining them up for this position here. 

Jimmy Butler and company have gone toe to toe with everyone inside the bubble as they have the ability to beat teams towards the bucket and on the defensive end. We saw that combo in the final seconds of overtime in Game 1 as Miami just has so many playmakers on the floor. Look for this one to be close once again, with Miami having a legit shot to steal this outright.

Some trends to note. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -8.5

The Clippers have value laying the number here.

The Nuggets have been very pesky when it comes to this series. Los Angeles is by far the better team and they’ve shown that, but Denver put together a late charge in Game 5 to force a Game 6.

Los Angeles has been not let opposing teams gain momentum or steam after they find wins and that should be the case here. Look for LA to assert their presence early in this one and really dictate the pace from the outset.

An early lead here will push Denver on their heels and really force the pressure on them.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck. Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Houston +6.5

We've backed the Lakers in the past two games, but here the Rockets have value.

Houston was dominated for nearly 3.5 quarters before finally waking up last game, but failing to cover late. 

They can build off that as they are now playing for their season here. Look for the Rockets to come out with a lot of aggression as they know they have to get back to what led them to a Game 1 win. Aggressive play and the ability to get stops on the defensive end will be the difference to keep this one close.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2.5

The Celtics will go for the closeout here tonight on Friday. 

Boston had their chance in Double Overtime in Game 6, but just couldn't find the finish line in a loss. Now, they are forced into this winner take all game, but still have the edge

Top to bottom, Boston is the more complete team. They have been able to dictate a lot in this series, including the pace of play.

Look for them to buckle down even more defensively given the circumstances and for them to control the paint on both sides of the floor here against a Toronto team that continues to battle injuries and not be at 100%.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Celtics are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -5

The Lakers have value laying the number once again.

We backed LA in Game 3 and they've been able to completely flip the script on the series.

They've dominated on both ends of the floor and in particular they've really held down this high flying Rockets offense. That's ultimately been the difference as the Lakers speed and length have just been too much for Houston to handle.

Look for them to carry that momentum into play on Wednesday as they should be able to dictate the pace from the start.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Los Angeles.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -5

The Lakers have value laying the points here.

Los Angeles found their identity in the 4th quarter of Game 2 to even the series up here. They asserted their dominance in the paint and did not allow anything easy on the defensive end. 

Now, they have the Rockets questioning a lot and can really put the pressure on them early in this one.

Look for the Lakers to come out with an attack minded game plan and not allow the Rockets to get into their comfort zone.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.Lakers are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall.
