Washington -3

The Wizards have tremendous value here.

Washington plays much better at home versus on the road for starters. The offensive numbers are much better on the home side of the splits, as they have really found their form as of late. 

The Wizards come in with nice momentum too, as they’ve gone 2-0 to start this homestand, which includes holding Orlando to just 90 points. 

The biggest key for them continues to be the contributions from a lot of different players on the floor, as Bradley Beal continues to set the tone. This team has fed off his energy and they seem to really work well when he’s in his groove.

The Hornets limp in as they have dropped 2 straight and 12 of their last 16 overall. Look for the struggles to continue here, as they simply cannot keep up with this attack.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -10.5

The Nuggets have value laying the points here. 

Denver comes into this one finally with some momentum as they rebounded from a bad stretch in a big way with a 133-107 win over Minnesota. After some struggles, the Nuggets put together one of their best performances of the season, as they dominated on both ends of the floor. 

Dallas is in free fall mode, as they have dropped 6 in a row and 11 of their last 12. 

This is a case where Denver can really run on them as Dallas is one of the worst defensive teams in the entire NBA when playing on the road.

Dallas got in late to Denver as well here, as a snowstorm pushed back their flight. This is a case where just too many things are against Dallas.

Back Denver. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -7

The Jazz have value in this spot here.

Oddly enough, it’s the Jazz trending downward and the Suns moving upward as of late. That’ll change here as we should see some regression from this Suns team.

After a huge upset win over the Warriors Sunday, this is a prime letdown spot against a team that is hungry. 

Utah finds themselves in 8th, but are right there in a crowded West with the ability to move up. 

They’ve already knocked off the Suns by 28 this season and they boast a solid defense giving up just 106 points per game. Look for them to really slow this Suns team down and not allow them to get out an run. 

Some trends of note. Jazz are 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Head to head the favorite is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

Lay the points here. Utah should be able to bounce back in a big way. 

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans +9.5 

The Pelicans have value catching points her.e

Milwaukee enters this head to head struggling against the Pelicans. Milwaukee has failed to cover in 6 of the last 8 games played in New Orleans. 

Along with that, the last 4 matchups have seen the Pelicans cover the number as well. 

The Pelicans have played a majority of their better basketball at home too. New Orleans has gone 18-14 SU while scoring 116 points per game. This team tends to get up and down the floor much better for some reason inside their own building, and will likely pick up the pace here knowing what they're up against. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.Pelicans are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +9.5

The Cavs have value at this number here.

Since the return of Kevin Love, the Cleveland Cavaliers have become a much more bearable and competitive team for that matter.

They are not just staying in games, but they're actually winning them which has been a brand new sight for them. Look for Cleveland to really push the ball and utilize their pace, something that has made them extremely successful as of late.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic.Cavaliers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest.

Grab the home side.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis +1

Memphis looks to play the spoiler role here on Sunday.

The Grizzlies come in winners of 3 in their last 4, as this team is surprising a lot of people and really taking it to teams attempting their playoff push.

Their most recent outing saw them dominate the Jazz, in a 114-104 win.

Look for Memphis to really buckle down here defensively, as that has been the recipe to success during this recent run.

Some trends to note. Magic are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Grizzlies are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Grab the home side.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -6.5

The Raptors are in a nice spot here on Friday. 

Toronto has dropped 2 straight, which has been very rare this season. This is a Pelicans team that doesn't play well against fast teams, which certainly benefits the Raptors here. Toronto loves to get up and down the floor and on top of that, their high pressured defense is a lot for teams to handle.

If things weren't bad enough for the Pelicans without Jrue Holiday, they continue to struggle with all the drama surrounding Anthony Davis. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic.Pelicans are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Friday games.

Toronto has covered in 14 of their last 16 visits here. Expect that trend to continue.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -4.5

The Hornets recent bad run has put themselves out of the playoff picture in the East. 

However, this is a perfect spot to bounce back in when they take on the Wizards on Friday. Washington boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA, as they give up nearly 120 points per contest. 

Along with that, the Wizards have not been good against teams with a winning record on the road. They come into this one just 5-24 ATS in their last 29 in such situations. Look for them to struggle with the Hornets pace here, something that has doomed this Washington defense all season long.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 Friday games.Wizards are 11-33 ATS in their last 44 road games.

Back Charlotte.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -10.5

We should see a very inspired Bucks team here in this one on Thursday.

Milwaukee has dropped back to back games, which has been extremely rare this season. This team has not let losses snowball into losing streaks by any means, as they come out firing following defeats. 

They have a huge edge here against the Pacers, who have gone just 4-4 in their last 8 and have been extremely inconsistent away from home. Expect Milwaukee to be aggressive from the outset and really push the issue against this Pacers team that simply does not score much since the loss of their star guard.

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

Lay the points.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -5

We backed the 76ers on Tuesday and they cashed in for us. They have value once again here on Wednesday.

Both the 76ers and Bulls will play the 2nd leg of their back to back, which doesn’t give either any sort of edge in terms of fatigue. 

Philadelphia’s offense is rolling right now and they haven’t shown any signs of slowing down. They come in after a dominant performance and hold a huge edge against the Bulls defense here. Chicago stuggles mightily with teams who run, which is exactly what the 76ers will do here.

Look for the 76ers to really utilize their pace in this one, as Chicago simply can’t keep up.

Back Philadelphia. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -4.5

This is a low number here in this one on Tuesday.

Orlando comes in off a horrible loss to the Cavs on Sunday, a game in which they were actually dominated for a majority of. 

Things don't figure to bode well for them here as they are just 13-19 on the road this season. 

On the flip side of that, the 76ers have been a very tough team to crack at home. They have gone 24-9 while averaging 119 points per home contest.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 28-12 ATS in their last 40 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.76ers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the points.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Lakers -4

There has been so much talk surrounding Lebron James, who the better team is in LA, and just a whole bunch of everything with the drama of the Lakers. This is a case where you’ll see the Lakers really come out firing here.

The Clippers are very vulnerable on the defensive end for starters. Despite back to back losses, we did see the Lakers really play well at home against Milwaukee last week. The offense has the ability to put up points and we should see some very inspired play here. Expect them to pick up the intensity and really attack the rim. 

Along with that, this has the feel of a game where James comes out angry. After a debacle in Phoenix Saturday, don’t think he won’t have some frustrations to take out. 

Lay the points.

Back the Lakers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +6.5

This is a game where Cleveland should be able to keep things close throughout. 

Orlando comes to town as the Cavaliers dropped by 36 at home on Saturday. Make no mistake, that isn’t good for the momentum factor, but they did so without Kevin Love and Tristan Thompson. 

Look for Cleveland to really bounce back here, as they should see Love back in the lineup. His presence makes a world of a difference on both ends of the floor. 

Some trends to note.  Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Cleveland.

Grab the points. 

Back Cleveland. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -4.5

Despite a Lakers win last time out, it was far from pretty on the defensive end.

That won't bode well for this one when they take on the high flying attack of the Bucks on Friday.

Milwaukee is by far 4 or 5 steps up from the Pelicans, as they love to run and attack the rim in transition. The Lakers have struggled as a whole on the defensive side this season, as this young team has yet to figure out how to slow teams down.

Milwaukee also will have the abilities to guard James here. Shutting him down really throws this Lakers offense into a mess and forces them out of rhythm. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss.Bucks are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Cleveland +3

The Knicks laying points is always an ultimate fade. 

Let's look at the factors here. The Cavaliers and Knicks may both be horrific in the standings, but Cleveland is playing some better basketball as of late.

After mixing in a couple wins, the Cavs rallied from 25 down against the Trail Blazers to actually cut things to as little as 2. Cleveland has looked a lot better on the offensive end since the return of Kevin Love. 

Meanwhile, the Knicks struggles as a whole continue and they even have a loss to the Cavs under their belts this year.

Some trends to note. Head to head the Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New York, and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Lastly they're 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

Grab the visitors.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS play

Indiana -4

The Pacers have value here on Thursday night. 

Indiana takes on a Minnesota team that was forced to play overtime on Wednesday night. The Timberwolves were forced into a track meet with the Atlanta Hawks, a game in which they allowed 131 points. 

That doesn't bode well for the fatigue factor here, as they are forced to take on an Indiana team that plays some of their best basketball at home. 

Look for the Pacers to turn up the intensity on the defensive end in this one, really forcing Minnesota into some difficult situations early on.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Grab the home side.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -5

The Nets have value at home here.

Brooklyn is a solid 15-4 over their last 19 home games as they dominated the Spurs on Monday. This team is contributions from everyone right now, as they are clicking on all cylinders. 

They face off with a Wizards team that is abysmal on the road. Coming in with a 7-24 road record this season, the Wizards have dropped 4 straight overall and have been atrocious on the defensive end. That doesn't bode well for them when taking on a team like Brooklyn who can hit you from every which way.

Some trends to note. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.Nets are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -8.5 

The Warriors laying the points here is a nice move.

Miami has actually been a better road team than home for starters. They enter Wednesday just 11-18 ATS at home. They have been completely shut down on the offensive end as they seem to tighten up when playing in Miami. 

That certainly isn't good when you're playing a team like Golden State. This offense is one of the best, if not the best in the NBA given all the weapons they have. Look for them to run and really push the tempo here on Miami.

Some trends to note. Heat are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. Warriors are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. 

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Detroit -2.5

The Pistons have value laying the points here. 

Detroit comes in situationally with a nice edge. They look to get revenge after a 37 points loss earlier this season to the Pacers. The loss saw Indiana shoot nearly unconsciously from the floor as we shouldn't expect to see that here today. 

Along with that, the Pacers have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 away divisional games. 

Some trends to note. Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win.

The host has gone 6-1 ATS in the last 7 in this series. Look for Detroit to come out with some vengeance here, as they take care of business at home.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -9

The Celtics laying the points here is the move on Saturday night.

Boston is simply going to be too overwhelming here in this one. The Celtics 113 points per game outscores the Bulls by an average of 10 points for starters. 

Along with that, Chicago is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games. The trends get worse for the Bulls, who are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games.

The opposite goes for Boston, who is 8-2 against teams with a winning percentage of .400. Boston has fed off lower tier teams and this one should be no different here.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Chicago. Favorite is 19-6-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings.

Lay the points.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City -4

The Thunder closed the first half with a bang and will look to roll right along here.

OKC rattled off wins in 11 of their last 13 before the break, as they are hitting their groove at the right time. 

The Thunder's dominance has stemmed from Westbrook's big run, as he has compiled 10 straight games with a triple-double. During that run, he has put up 21.9 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 13.5 assists per contest. 

Look for them to continue to feed off his energy. 

Some trends to note. Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. Head to head the Jazz are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Oklahoma City has won both meetings thus far. Expect that to continue here.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -5.5

Laying the points here has value on Thursday with Milwaukee.

The 2nd half of the season gets set to tip off, as a potential playoff matchup clashes here. 

Milwaukee has been a consistent team thus far as they feature not only one of the best players in the NBA, but one of the best offenses in the entire league.

Milwaukee puts up 120 points per home game and they come into this one 23-5 SU in home situations. Look for them to really be overwhelming for the Celtics here, who just haven't found a way to get over that hump as they search for their top level.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Lay the points.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -6.5

The Nets have value laying the points here.

Brooklyn takes on a Cleveland team that comes in off a rare win last time out. Cleveland actually found a team that has been worse than them, as New York came to town and couldn’t overcome a 15 point deficit. 

Now, Cleveland takes on a Brooklyn team that is playing very well. The Nets should have upset the Raptors last time out as 10 point underdogs, but blew a 3 point lead with just seconds to go. 

This team is extremely impressive and has utilized their youth speed to really keep opponents off balanced and on their heels.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Nets are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Lay the points. Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -5.5

The 76ers laying the points here is a nice move for us on Tuesday.

Home court advantage has made a world of a difference for the 76ers this season. They come into Tuesday a solid 23-6 as they outscore opponents on average 119.4-109.8. 

To add even more value to this one, the Celtics will be without Kyrie Irving, who exited Saturday's loss with a knee injury. Irving's injury leaves Boston without a key offensive weapon, as they will need everything they can get against this 76ers team that just put up 140 in their latest home affair. 

Some key trends to note here. Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Given the situational edge and the injury to Irving, this one should be a lopsided affair.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 10* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

Milwaukee -10.5

The Bucks have been great situationally here and have value laying the points. 

Milwaukee has been great following a loss this season.

The Bucks have gone 13-0 SU and 11-2 ATS following a loss this season, with those wins averaging over 14 points per game. They have been a great bounce back team and have certainly not allowed losses to snowball. 

Chicago is the perfect candidate for this situation, as they come in with 10 straight home losses. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Bucks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Grab the visitors here.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -14.5

The Warriors have value laying the points here on Sunday night. 

Golden State continues to dominate as they trailed the Suns entering the 4th on Friday, only to end up winning by double digits.

The Warriors can just hit you at so many different angles as they score in bunches. They hold the value here as the Heat simply don’t have the offense to keep up.

Miami has struggled to keep pace with teams like this, as they constantly are getting beat in transition. Look for the Warriors to get out and run here, really putting the Heat on their heels early. 

Some trends to note.  Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss, and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference.

Lay the points. Back Golden State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento -2.5

The Kings have value laying the small number at home. 

This is a case of a bounce back and letdown. 

For the Kings, they come in after seeing their win streak snapped. After an incredible performance against the Spurs, they laid a huge egg against the Rockets. 

Sacramento has been a team that has fed off the home crowd and this is a prime spot to really use their tempo to throw this Heat team off.

As for Miami, they come in after a huge win over the Trail Blazers on the road. Look for them to really battle fatigue and struggle here against a team that just plays so quick. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Kings are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the points. Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks +8

Backing the home side is a nice move here on Friday.

Dallas was active at the trade deadline and now have a whole new look heading into the 2nd half of the season. 

The Mavericks took care of business in their first game since the trade and now look to continue their home dominance.

The edge here goes to Dallas. They sit 9-1 at home ATS when an underdog. Along with that, they come in 18-7-1 ATS at home overall. 

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall, and are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. Bucks are 1-9-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings vs. the Mavs.

Milwaukee is just 2-8 ATS in this series on the road over the last 10. Look for the Mavs to keep this one close.

Back Dallas. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington -6

The Wizards are worth a move here on Monday.

Washington has been a much different team when playing at home versus on the road. They seem to play with much more confidence and aggression inside the Verizon Center.

Situationally this is a really nice spot. Atlanta has been on a lengthy road trip, one that has covered 6 games with this being the 7th.

The Hawks have been away because of the Super Bowl and are slated to return home following their contest on Monday. 

Look for fatigue and a lot of overlooking to take part here, as they certainly are ready to wrap things up with the travel.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win, and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Wizards are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Look for the Wizards to take advantage from the start here.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -11.5

The Raptors have value laying the points here. Toronto catches Los Angeles in a nice spot here.

The Clippers come in off a back to back, after a hard fought win against the Pistons. They were forced to battle back from down big, which will certainly cause some fatigue here.

This will be a nice sight for the Raptors as they have ran into some hot teams as of late. Look for them to push the tempo and really get Los Angeles on their heels early here.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Clippers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings vs. the Raptors and are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Toronto.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play 

Golden State -9.5 

Any time you get the Warriors after a loss, you know you're going to get an angry bunch. 

Golden State was knocked around by Philadelphia in the 2nd half on Thursday night and will look for a bounce back here against the Lakers.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Golden State. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. 

The Lakers have struggled mightily in Golden State.

Back Golden State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston +5

The Rockets have value catching points here on Friday night.

This has been a series dominated by Houston. They come into this one 5-0 ATS in the last 5 head to head meetings. Along with that, they also have covered in the last 4 meetings in Denver. 

While injuries have bugged the Rockets, James Harden certainly hasn't had an issue picking up the slack. Look for him to step up in a big way here once again, knowing the importance of this one. 

Denver also has struggled against the West lately too. They have gone just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 against conference foes. 

Some trends to note. Rockets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Rockets are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 vs. Western Conference.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +7.5

Grabbing the points here is the move on Thursday. 

Brooklyn is becoming one of those teams nobody wants to see on their schedule. 

The Nets are once again in stride, as they have rattled off wins in 7 of their last 8 games as they come in off a win over Chicago last time out.

They have one of the fastest offenses in the NBA, as they put up 113 points per contest. Look for them to turn things up a notch here against this Spurs team, that has shown they aren't as good defensively as they have been in the past.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Nets are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Grab the points.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -3

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington -7

The Wizards have value laying the points here. 

Cleveland comes in off a rare win, but they have not been able to build off of anything this season. Cleveland has struggled constantly as they are just 2-18 in their last 20 games overall.

This is a bit of a revenge spot as well. Cleveland took it to the Wizards the last time these two teams played, but things are far different from that last meeting. 

Washington is still 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games in Cleveland and they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against the East. 

Some trends to note. Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Wizards are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

On a 10-3 ATS run, look for the Wizards to handle business here.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -4.5

The Spurs laying the points are worth a move here. Washington has battled plenty of injuries this season and they simply don’t look like the team everyone expected.

They come in off a win, but it was far from pretty as they nearly blew an 18 point lead against the Magic on Friday.

Washington has not been able to play a full 40 minutes this year. They go through stretches where they struggle to get anything on the offensive end and that simply won’t fly here against this Spurs team.

Look for the Spurs to pick apart this defense and really expose the interior play from Washington that has been lacking all year long.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. The favorite is 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings. Wizards are 3-14-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings in San Antonio.

Lay the points. Back the Spurs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Chicago -5

The Bulls laying the points have value here. Chicago has been a mess this season with the exception of when they play Cleveland.

The Bulls are 3-0 against the Cavs and look for the season sweep here on Sunday. These wins have been dominant performances and things continue to be worse for the Cavs.

They are battling injury after injury and enter Sunday with a lot of backups in place. 

The Bulls should be able to do what they did a week ago in Cleveland, as they pushed the tempo and made things look easy in transition against this Cavs defense.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, and are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Lastly they are 9-28 ATS in the last 37 meetings vs. Chicago.

Lay the points. Back Chicago.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -2

The Warriors laying this low of a number is always going to have value.

Golden State has just been absolutely dominant this season and things have picked up recently with the return of Cousins. They are just so tough to contain when you have 5 legit weapons on the floor who can take it to the bucket and score. 

Boston has struggled to hit any sort of stride themselves as they have been dealing with injuries and a lot of inconsistencies. 

Look for the Warriors to really turn things up here and get out early on Boston.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Lay the small number. Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston +1

The Rockets have the value on Friday night. 

If one thing is clear, it's that James Harden is going to be this years MVP. He has put this team on his back with all the injuries suffered and has made a huge impact. You almost expect him to drop 50 points every single night now. 

He is carrying the load and the Rockets have been a dominant home team this season. Coming in with a 17-7 record, they will look to get out early and really fluster this Raptors team. 

Along with that, Toronto has dropped 18 of the last 23 games they've played in this building.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Raptors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss.

Grab the home side.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -10

The Nets laying the big number is worth a move here on Friday.

The Knicks are just in turmoil. Their head coach is making a mockery of them losing games, the team has a lot of internal issues, and all around they are just a mess. 

They come into this one losers of 7 in a row and have just done everything wrong. They're allowing way too many easy buckets and aren't getting much offensive productivity from guys. 

The Nets should be able to pick this team apart, given their recent run. Brooklyn has rattled off 5 wins in a row and they are playing with a lot of confidence on the offensive end. Averaging 115 points per home game, this team is getting out quickly and really putting opposing defenses on their heels. 

Some trends to note. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Lay the points.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Washington +4

This is an interesting line here on Friday, giving value to the road side.

The Wizards come into this one on a nice run here ATS coming into play. Over their last 10 games, the Wizards have covered in 8 of those. 

Along with that, Washington comes in winners in 7 of their last 11 and kept things close throughout on Thursday night against the Warriors. 

This team has the offensive firepower to keep up with anyone and this is a nice matchup for them given the struggles the Magic have had, especially as of late.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Southeast.

Grab the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Atlanta +2

The Hawks are a nice value play here on Wednesday.

Despite the Bulls win on Monday, this team still has plenty of issues about them. Chicago took down the lowly Cavs, which really doesn't say too much.

Atlanta has been a struggle themselves, but this team really has the ability to catch some fire and we've seen it a few times lately. 

They take on a Bulls team that is just 5-16 at home this season, one of the worst marks in the entire NBA. Look for Atlanta to force the issue early here and really try to run the Bulls down in transition.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.

Grab the points.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Miami -5 

The Heat laying the points here has value on Wednesday.

Los Angeles comes in off a tough back to back, where they had to deal with the Mavs on Tuesday night. 

Dallas plays with such an extreme pace and really puts teams on their heels, which should force the Clippers into some fatigue here on Wednesday. 

Look for the Heat to really buckle down defensively and suffocate these LA shooters all night long.

Some trends to note. Heat are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games. Heat are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Grab the home side here.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -11.5

The Warriors have value laying the points here.

If Golden State wasn’t a handful enough for teams, the return of Cousins proved to add a huge element to their style. Cousins looks as if he fits in perfectly and they get a chance here against the a shorthanded Lakers team.

The Lakers continue to be without Lebron James and they simply don’t match up well here. 

The Warriors have too many weapons for this Lakers team to keep up with as they’ll look to be aggressive early here.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Lakers are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS win.

Look for Golden State to exploit the Lakers youth and run away with this one.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana Pacers -6.5

The Mavericks are a nice fade here. Dallas has been a completely different team on the road. They come into this one on Saturday just 4-18 away from home. 

They continue to struggle on both ends of the floor on the road, but the defense is allowing 113 points per road contest which is simply too much to overcome. 

They don't matchup well here, as Indiana has been a tough team to crack at home themselves. Going 15-6 SU, they simply lock down defensively. They hold opponents to one of the best numbers in the league, giving up just 98 points. 

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference.

Lay the points. Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Utah -15

Cleveland has been the ultimate fade this season. 

The Cavaliers have been an absolute mess and it’s been a consistent course. With just one win in 2019, Cleveland has dropped every other decision with the closest being by 8 points. 

Expect another one here against a Utah team that has one of the stingiest defenses in the NBA. Along with that, they’re in quite a stride coming into this one.

Utah has rattled off 5 straight and have won by an average of 13 points in that stretch. 

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Cavaliers are 0-6-1 ATS vs. Jazz in the last 7 meetings, and are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Utah.

This is just a case of two teams going in opposite directions. 

Look for Utah to really buckle down early and frustrate this Cleveland team from the start.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver -12

This is a prime bounce back spot for the Nuggets here.

With the top spot in the West on the line Tuesday, Denver laid a huge egg against the Warriors. 

This is going to be a spot where they get their frustration out against a lowly Bulls team. 

Denver still comes in one of the best at home. They hold an 18-4 record and this defense is extremely tough to deal with. Given the struggles, the Bulls have had as a whole, this is matchup where Denver is going to put their foot on the gas from the outset and pick them apart. 

Some trends to note. Bulls are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Denver. Bulls are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

Lay the points here.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 10* NBA ATS TOP Play

Detroit -3

Laying the small number here has value with the home side. 

Orlando has been a nice fade on the road this season.

The Magic own just a 7-13 SU record, as the lack of production on the offensive end has really hurt them. They are putting up just over 100 points per game, which is one of the lower marks in the league. 

The struggle will be even more here as the Pistons are a team they do not match up well against. Detroit has a nice inside presence, as Blake Griffin has really been a force this season. Look for Detroit to control the paint and really cause a lot of issues for Orlando Wednesday.

Some trends to note. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Magic are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.

Lay the points.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -1.5

The Warriors will always have value at this kind of number. Golden State and Denver battle for the top spot in the West, Golden State is completely used to these kinds of games, but this is brand new territory for Denver.

Look for nerves first off to play a role given all the hype around this one. 

This is also a revenge spot for the Warriors as well. They dropped a 2 point decision earlier this season to the Nuggets, a game in which Damien Jones was the final shot taker. 

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss, and are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Underdog is 3-0-1 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Golden State has rattled off 4 straight wins and they've put up ridiculous offensive totals. Lay the small number here.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles -3

The Clippers have solid value here against the Pelicans Monday night. The Pelicans have been a real solid fade on the road.

They come in just 5-17 this season after another disappointing loss, this time to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday night. 

Their struggles run deep on the road, as they’ve typically buried themselves early on. That’s not a good sign here as the Clippers are a fast team out of the gate and will certainly be the aggressor early on here Monday.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Lay the points here with the home side. The Clippers are getting contributions from a lot of different guys here as of late as the bench is the difference maker.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS PLAY

Cleveland +10.5

This is a matchup for the Cavs where they can keep pace. 

With Lebron James still sidelined, the Lakers team is full of a lot of youth, which is just how this Cleveland team is. 

The Cavaliers come in absolutely a mess, but given the Lakers struggles on the defensive end, Cleveland should have a lot of success offensively. The Lakers are giving up over 110 points per game and that number has gone up since the James injury. Look for Cleveland to really get out and push the issue here.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Grab the points.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -8.5

The Knicks are simply a mess. Laying the points here has the value on Friday night.

New York is experiencing the wrath of their youth as this team just hasn't been able to put anything together. Coming into this one, they sit at 10-31 overall and have dropped back to back games.

They take on a Pacers team that is making quite a name for themselves in the East. They have shown they can compete with the top tier teams and it's been the defensive abilities for them that have made the difference. 

Allowing only 103 points per game, they are going to really give this Knicks team fits as they are one of the best in the league at closing out on shooters and really controlling the paint.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Pacers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

Lay the number.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Washington +7.5

This is a big number here for the home side.

While Milwaukee is one of the most feared teams in the NBA, the Wizards have the weapons to compete here. 

Washington comes in after a huge win and get the benefit here of playing at home. The Wizards have been a much better team when it comes to the Verizon Center. 

Sitting 5 games over the .500 mark, the offense has found a way to come to life, averaging nearly 118 points per home game. They'll need all that and then some here against the Bucks, but the number certainly shows they can compete here.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Grab the points.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Portland -9.5

The Bulls have just been an absolute mess this season.

This number is worth laying here on Wednesday night.

Chicago comes in losers of 4 in a row and this has been the story for them all season long. Lengthy losing streaks and the inability to catch any sort of momentum has made them one of the worst in the entire league.

Portland meanwhile, is just a tough team to crack at home. They come into this one 16-7, averaging 113 points per home contest. 

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central. Trail Blazers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Lay the points.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Houston +1

The Rockets certainly aren't getting enough respect here. 

Houston has caught some fire, but come in as slight underdogs here. The Rockets have seen James Harden start to light things up, as he is back to 100% health. 

His health has been the biggest key to success for the Rockets, as they continue to feed off his energy. 

At home this season, the Rockets come in a solid 14-5 SU, while boasting a 12-6-1 ATS record in that span. 

Some trends to note. Home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

Situationally, this one makes a lot of sense. Houston is playing extremely well at home and the head to head series points in the direction of them.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +1.5 

The Nuggets have value on the road here. Houston is starting to feel some of the issues they have as it’s pretty much been James Harden or bust this year.

We saw a little frustration on Saturday, as Harden threw up a bit stat line, but failed to get any help from his supporting cast.

Now, they’ll take on a Denver team that has opened some eyes here in the 2018-2019 season. Denver’s offense is one of the best in the NBA and they are such a lock down defensive team. Expect them to really push the issue here against Houston too, as fatigue is likely to play a role for the Rockets.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Rockets are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NBA Northwest. Road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Grab the points here as Denver holds a nice edge. Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS PLay

Indiana Pacers +3

This is a chance for the Pacers to really showcase what they’re made of. They get a shot at the Raptors, who are a potential top seed in the East.

Indiana actually matches up well here. The Pacers have won 6 in a row and 13 of their last 15 overall. This team is playing with some absurd confidence right now, as they continue to feed off Victor Oladipo’s energy.

This is also a nice revenge spot as the Pacers as they should have taken care of things already once this season against Toronto, but they failed to hold a 17 point 2nd half lead.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Lay the points.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA Play

Denver Nuggets 

The Nuggets are a team you don't want to mess with here this season. 

Denver has opened a lot of eyes in the NBA and they continue to make some noise in the Western Conference. 

At home, they come in 15-3 SU and a solid 12-6 ATS. It's the offensive production that has been the biggest key for them. They just have so many weapons and as a result, they've averaged 112.3 points per game inside the Pepsi Center. 

They take on a Hornets team that simply struggles on the defensive end. They saw the Mavericks torch them this week for 120+ points and overall they have given up 115.8 points against on the road. 

Some trends to note.  Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Hornets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games.

Lay the points. Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana -6

The Bulls are just in turmoil. Chicago comes in on the cusp of another losing streak. They’ve dropped back to back game and are trying to avoid their sixth losing streak of at least 3 games.

Indiana meanwhile, is red hot. They have won 5 straight and they’re catching fire at the right time. 

This team has the potential to surprise the East, as they have jumped into third in the Conference with wins in 12 of their last 14 and 17 of their last 23 overall.

Some trends to note. Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Lay the points.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +3

The Nets are not a team you want to sleep on.

Brooklyn dropped 8 in a row and it looked like it was going to be another long, rebuilding year. 

However, times have changed and now the Nets come in red hot as they look to avenge a loss to the Grizzlies from that 8 game losing streak.

Brooklyn has won 10 of their last 13 overall and they’re doing it with substantial effort on both ends of the floor. Constant pressure defensively has turned into some easy points offensively, as they continue to play extremely aggressive.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Grizzlies are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

This is a nice number on a team that can win this one outright.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -1

The 76ers have value here this kind of number.

This is a well rested 76ers teams, which is huge given the rest they needed to give Joel Embiid. 

With the extra days off, Embiid is likely to be in the lineup Sunday, obviously adding a crucial piece to this lineup.

The 76ers catch the Trail Blazers at a nice time here. They will be on the second leg of a back to back, as they were run into the ground against the Warriors Saturday. That is not the ideal opponent you want to have to deal with as fatigue will certainly play a factor here.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games playing on 2 days rest. Trail Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Lay the point here. Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -5

The tables are flipped here as the Pelicans get a shot at home against the Mavs on Friday. This will mark the 2nd time in 3 nights that these two teams will meet.

Wednesday’s matchup went to the brink as the Mavs escaped with a 3 point win. Dallas has been a dominant team at home, but on the road they’ve been a complete 180.

The Pelicans are a solid 11-5 at home, which includes a 132-106 victory over these Mavs here.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.

This is a nice revenge spot for the home side.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks -2

The Mavericks have been sneaky good at home here in 2018. 

Dallas comes into Wednesday a solid 13-3 at home and in that span, they've covered in 12 of the 16 games. 

In that span, Dallas has outscored the opposition 113.6- 105.3. They're doing it with a plethora of weapons on both ends of the floor, as they've been able to control the pace from the outset. Look for that to be the key here on Wednesday, as the Pelicans like to really get out and run. 

Dallas will slow things down and really force New Orleans out of their rhythm here. 

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the small number.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn -1.5

This is too low of a number to pass up on here. 

The Nets have been a team that has shown they can keep up with almost anyone in the league. Brooklyn comes into this one averaging 110.5 points per contest on the season.

They love to get up and down the floor with a ton of pace, which has been a tough issue for some teams to slow down. 

The Hornets meanwhile, have been a struggle on the road. They feel to 4-9 away from home after getting knocked around by Boston last time out. 

Some trends to note. Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Hornets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Lay the small number. 

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -4

The Celtics are at a nice number here. 

The two front runners in the East clash as being one of the most anticipated matchups on the card Tuesday. 

Boston got themselves back on track with a 119 point performance against the Hornets on Sunday. Even with their 3 game skid prior to that, Boston has still covered in 9 of their last 12 and are playing extremely well on both sides of the ball. 

The Celtics have already given it to the 76ers this season and they just have too many weapons for this young Philadelphia team.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference. Celtics are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 home games.

Given Boston's home success, this one makes sense.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -10

This is a bigger spread here, but this is just too much of a mismatch. 

The Knicks are a young team that has a lot of growing pains to get through. 

Taking on this Milwaukee team is not going to be an easy task by any means here. Given the stage and it being at MSG, expect Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo to come out firing here. 

He has taken the NBA by storm and the MVP candidate will look to put on a show here on Monday. 

The Knicks are only 4-11 at home this year, allowing nearly 115 points per contest.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Bucks are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss.

Lay the number.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Minnesota +4

The Timberwolves have value grabbing the number here. 

Minnesota will begin a 3 game road swing here and will come out with some anger in this one.

They dropped the finale of their homestand to the Pistons in overtime last time out, as they managed to blow a 14 point 4th quarter lead. 

This team is built on speed and when they get knocked off their rhythm, things tend to get very out of sorts for them. However, they play a Spurs team that actually has picked up the pace a lot this season. That will play into the favor of Minnesota, who should see a back and forth kind of game here. 

Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Timberwolves are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest.

Grab the points.

Back Minnesota.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Orlando -3

This is a prime bounce back spot for the Magic here.

Chicago has been bitten by the injury bug all year long. This team is essentially in turmoil for the most part, as they've continued to struggle with team chemistry. They haven't been able to put together any sort of momentum for the most part either, which plays a huge factor here.

Orlando comes in off a very horrible loss to the Spurs. 

This is a spot where they are eager to get out and really erase the memory of that one. With that in mind, expect the Magic to really focus on playing at their pace, as they slow things down a lot. 

Some trends to note. Bulls are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 vs. Eastern Conference. Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Lay the points.

Back Orlando.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -3

The Warriors are at too nice of a number to pass up here.

Golden State has had quite the surge since Steph Curry returned to the lineup. Curry had averaged 27.8 points over his last 8 games and has this team playing with extreme confidence right now.

With Durant and Curry both around that 28 point threshold this season per game, they are just so tough to slow down and Utah’s offense likely can’t keep pace here.

Some trends to note. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

This is just a rare low number for the Warriors. Lay it.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -12.5

Cleveland comes in off their most exciting win of the season, but is in a prime letdown spot here.

The Hornets will catch Cleveland after a buzzer beating victory in Indiana last night. Cleveland’s young team was on their grind the entire night on both ends of the floor.

Certainly here they’re in for a letdown as they got into Charlotte late last night. Fatigue will play a role because of that, as well as having to play 8 quarters in such a short span. 

Charlotte is a team that likes to run and gun, which will really have Cleveland on their heels all night.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. In this series the Favorite is 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

Lay the number.

Back Charlotte. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Brooklyn Nets -1.5

The Nets laying this low of a number is a nice move on Friday. 

Brooklyn comes into this one after a huge win over the 76ers last time out. The Nets have rattled off 3 straight wins and are starting to catch the attention of some people.

Brooklyn is doing with their offense, as this young group has been able to really push the tempo and really feed off one another's energy. The Nets' Spencer Dinwiddie has been the key contributor during this run. Averaging 27 points per game, he has been the spark this team has been looking for all season long.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 5-21 ATS in their last 26 road games. Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Lay the small number here.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles +5.5

The Lakers have value at this number here. 

Los Angeles will take on a Houston team that has been battling injuries all season long. 

They will be without James Ennis, one of their top defenders in this lineup. With that in mind, the likes of Eric Gordon and Gerald Green will be forced with the task of guarding Lebron James, which is something neither can likely handle. 

With the Lakers playing at an extreme pace too, the Rockets will struggle some as they have been a team to sometimes slow things down. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Lakers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 Thursday games.

Look for this one to be close throughout.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston -3.5

The Celtics laying the points here have value. 

Boston comes into this one finally having figured things out. 

This team is built with stars and have plenty of young depth to work with. After what was an up and down start to the season, the Celtics have found their groove here. 

They've rattled off 6 straight wins and lay a low number here against a Washington team that has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions here in 2018. 

With Washington giving up 116 points per game, expect the Celtics to try and run and really put their foot on the gas here early on.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Celtics are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Lay this number.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +2.5

The Pacers are always a tough team to crack at home. 

Grabbing the points here has value on Wednesday with them against the Bucks. 

Indiana has been notoriously a good home team in the past seasons thanks to their lock down defense and ability to control the tempo from the outset. 

That has been in the case once again as they come in 9-4 and only give up 97.7 points per game. Their ability to slow things down and suffocate teams on the defensive end is exactly the recipe you have to have to beat this Milwaukee team. 

Expect Indiana to fluster them from the beginning, as they can really knock them off their style of play and force them into an uncomfortable pace they aren't used to.

Grab the points here.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -6

The Raptors are always a valuable bet at home.

Toronto comes into this one a solid 11-3 in Canada this year. The home court advantage has always been a huge factor for the Raptors, specifically against top tier opponents too.

Along with that, they have been playing exceptionally well as of late. Toronto enters Sunday 8-2 over their last 10, while the Bucks have skidded to just 6-4 in that same span.

This is a game where Toronto can really lean on their defense to frustrate a Milwaukee team not playing particularly well.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. To boot they're 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Lay the points. Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Washington Wizards 

The Wizards have value at this number. 

Cleveland is simply a team that just can't compete. They are young and only getting younger with some of the moves they're making. It's becoming evident this is a team to fade at almost any number.

They actually led at the half against Golden State, only to end up being down double digits early in the 2nd half. This is not a team built on playing 4 full quarters, which is going to result in a lot of issues for them here.

Washington plays with a lot of pace and with the likes of Wall and Beal running the show, they are just so tough to keep from running wild.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game, and are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 5-23 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Lastly Wizards are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Cleveland.

Lay the number here. Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +1.5

This is a revenge spot here on Friday night.

The Warriors were absolutely demolished, at home, against this Milwaukee team. Make no mistake, they haven't forgotten that one.

Along with that, the Warriors are completely healthy. With Curry returning to the lineup, the Warriors are at full strength and are in quite the groove right now. 

Golden State also has had some success against Milwaukee on the road. They have won their last 2 trips here and the road team has gone 20-7-1 in the last 28 head to head matchups. 

Some trends to note. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Warriors are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Central.

Look for an angry Golden State to come out and really put on a show against Milwaukee.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -6

The Raptors have a nice advantage here on Wednesday.

Toronto is a tough team to crack in general, but at home they are even more of a task to figure out. 

The Raptors come in 10-3 in Canada, averaging nearly 120 points per game. 

That spells a lot of trouble for this 76ers team, that is just 4-7 away from Phili. They are still a young team that struggles to find their feet away from home. They give up 117 points per road contest as they typically get themselves beat by allowing easy transition buckets. Look for the Raptors to pick up the tempo even more here in this one, trying to get the 76ers on their heels early.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. 76ers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Atlantic.

Lay the number.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Denver -5.5

The Nuggets have value laying the points on the road. 

Denver has already taken to the Magic this season once, as this is simply not a good matchup for Orlando. 

The Nuggets run and gun style is too overwhelming for Orlando, as they eventually turned it into a 25 point win. 

Along with that, Orlando is in the midst of a back to back. The Magic had to run into Miami last night, which is never an easy task in terms of the physicalness. Denver's pace is going to give a lot of issues for this Orlando team that will likely battle some fatigue in this one.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. Nuggets are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win.

Lay the points here. 

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

San Antonio -1

The Spurs are in prime bounce back form here. After being demolished by the Rockets last time out, the Spurs stay home where they welcome in a Portland team they match up well with. 

The Spurs still pride themselves on the defensive end, which is certainly something they’ll get back to here in this one. 

Look for them to really slow things down and try to force the Trail Blazers out of their comfort zone. With a slow pace, this Portland team will become flustered right from the outset.

Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Grab the home side.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS PLAY

Boston -12

The Cavaliers are simply just not a good team. As they continue to ship off their veterans, this team will experience a lot of growing pains here in 2018-2019. 

That is the case as of late as this team has struggled. They managed to lead by 10 against the Thunder, only to see themselves get torched once everything was all said and done.

Boston here has been an up and down team but found their mojo in a blowout win over the Pelicans last time out. 

This is one of the most talented teams, top to bottom, and they hold a significant advantage against a Cleveland team that struggles on the offensive end. Boston can use their pace and really put the Cavs on their heels here. 

Some trends to note. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Celtics are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games.

Grab the home side.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -4.5

The Lakers have value on Thursday night. Los Angeles was embarrassed on Tuesday, as they went into Denver and got knocked around. They ran into a hot team that caught their groove early. 

Here, they take on a Pacers team that plays a much different style. 

That plays into the home side here as Indiana doesn’t play with any sort of pace. Look for the Lakers to use that to their advantage here on Thursday and put the Pacers on their heels early. 

Some trends to note. Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Lebron was bottled up all night long on Tuesday. Expect him to come out with plenty of aggression.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland +12.5

The Cavaliers are catching too many points here.

The Thunder aren't a team that will blow many opponents out. They're averaging just 5 more points per game versus the number they concede and they have showcased a lot of struggles on the defensive end.

Meanwhile, Cleveland has been playing much better as of late too. 

They stole a pair of games over the weekend and took Minnesota to the brink earlier this week. 

This young group is starting to play with a lot of confidence and really starting to gel together. Look for them to use that energy here to keep up with this Thunder offense.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.

Grab the points.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Denver -4

Laying the number has value here.

The Nuggets have been a tough team to crack at home this year.

They come into this one 8-3 SU and 7-4 ATS in that span. While they average nearly 114 points per game, the defense has been the place where this team steps up.

Denver has averaged just 102 points against in-home spots. They are able to suffocate shooters and really lock down the paint with their length. This is a Lakers team they matchup well within those factors too. 

Look for Denver to really fluster this Lakers team and not let them get this game into the pace they'd like.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Pacific. Nuggets are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win.

Lay the small number.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles +4

The Clippers are becoming a sneaky good team out West. They come into this one winners of 6 of their last 7 overall. They are doing things a much different way than in the past too.

The Clippers slow the tempo down and like to really work it around offensively. That has been a huge success piece to them, as they take a lot of teams out of rhythm.

Given the pace Portland plays at, this is a spot where they can chew the shot clock and take Portland off their game.

Some trends to note. LA Clippers are 6-1 SU in its last 7 games, are 5-2 ATS in its last 7 games. The Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games.

Grab the points. Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland Cavaliers +9

This is a tough spot for the Cavaliers, there is no doubt about that. However, if there is one game this team is going to get up for, it is certainly this one. 

Lebron James makes his emotional return to Cleveland, as he bounced from them this past off season to sign a 4 year deal with the Lakers. 

Look for that to play a distraction here, Along with that, the Cavaliers know this is a game where they want to showcase that they are moving in the right direction despite Lebron leaving them. This is a young, gritty team, that can get hot and cause some issues for opponents. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Grab the points.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Clippers -6

The Clippers laying the number is a nice move here. This is a story of two teams going in complete opposition directions. 

The Clippers have won 3 straight games and this team is starting to come together here. Los Angeles has put up 117 points per game this season as they have picked the pace back up. That has been the biggest key for this offense, as they play much better in the run and gun style.

That bodes well for them in this matchup against Brooklyn. The Nets have one of the most inconsistent defenses in the NBA, allowing 114 points per home game this year. 

They don't do well in transition either, which gives a huge edge to this Clippers team.

Lay the points. Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -3

The 76ers will debut Jimmy Butler at home and have value at this low of a number.

The 76ers have added what looks to be the final big piece needed to compete with the top tier teams in the East.

Despite dropping their first game with Butler, the 76ers are a complete team up and down on both ends of the floor. Look for them to really push the issue here against Utah on Friday. 

Getting up and down the floor and putting the defense on their heels in transition is the biggest piece to success for this Philadelphia team. They now have a solid mix of veterans and a youth core, that should blend together to give opposing teams fits.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 vs. NBA Atlantic. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Friday games.

Lay the small number. Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pistons +10

The Detroit Pistons have an elite frontcourt. That allows them to outrebound most teams, and getting 10 points with a great frontcourt is a good move here.

Toronto is clearly a very good team, but the Raptors don't have the frontcourt rebounders that the Pistons do. The Raptors are also laying double digits against a team that I believe is undervalued by the oddsmakers and the betting public.

Detroit is coming off a loss, and based off recent trends that makes them a good bet here. The Pistons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 coming off a loss. The road team is also 5-2 ATS in the last 7 games between these two teams.

Toronto deserves to be favored here, but this is too many points. Detroit isn't going to quit here, and I think they'll get enough second chance points to keep this one close all the way.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston Celtics +2

The Celtics grabbing the points here is a nice move. Boston has relied heavy on their defense to find success over the past few years and with their recent struggles, there has been a lot of emphasis out on this game. 

Look for the Celtics to bounce back in a big way here. This is a spot where they can put the clamps down and really force Portland into some tough Possessions. 

Along with that, the offense is at least in sync. This team can hit you with so many different weapons and cause a lot of issues for a Trail Blazers defense that doesn’t slow down many teams.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Northwest. Trail Blazers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Atlantic. Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Grab the points. Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston -3.5

The Rockets catch the Thunder in a nice spot here on Thursday.

Oklahoma City comes in off a back to back, which is never easy for teams. The Thunder had to grind a win out in Cleveland last night, which will certainly put the fatigue factor into play here.

Along with that, James Harden has just been on a different level since returning. Harden has averaged 26.5 points since returning from injury, as the time off actually served a great purpose to get him back to his 100%.

Along with that, Russell Westbrook is likely out here. He continues to battle an ankle injury and this offense just doesn't run as smoothly without his presence. That is a big gap to fill and the Thunder will certainly have their issues keeping pace here.

Some trends to note. Thunder are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Lay the points here.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Denver Nuggets -3.5

The Nuggets laying the small number here has value. 

Denver is off to a blazing hot start as they come into this one 9-1 on the season. This team is doing almost everything right on both sides of the floor and really making life difficult for opposing teams. 

Denver comes into averaging nearly 112 points per game as they have a compliment of shooters that like to get out in the run and gun style. 

Defensively, this team has been one of the best in the league. Allowing only 102 points per contest, they have been lockdown and the biggest key has been suffocating opposing shooters. They close out extremely well and typically allow just one shot per possession.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Lay the number.

Back Denver. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +1 

The Mavs are in a nice spot here on Tuesday.

Dallas enters on a 6 game slide, but they haven't played as bad as their record has indicated. 

The Mavericks have dropped 5 of those 6 games by single digits and specifically, at home, they've been able to really turn things up.

Both their wins have come at home here in 2018 and they've averaged 117 points per contest in home situations. On the flip side of that, Washington has been horrific on the road, to say the least. Losers in 4 of 5 away from DC, the Wizards have given up 125 points per game in such situations. 

Some trends to note. Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference.

Grab the home side here.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland Cavs +4.5

The Cleveland Cavs aren't a good team, but the Orlando Magic can't be laying 4.5 points against anyone. Orlando is a scrappy team who plays hard and is a team I like to back as a big underdog, but they don't have enough talent and consistency to lay points like this.

Cleveland had a coaching change, and I think this Cavs team will play harder and have improved team chemistry now. The Cavs are without Kevin Love, but this is still a Cleveland team with some solid young pieces. Orlando's biggest weakness is on the glass, and I see Cleveland getting a lot of second chance opportunities here.

Look for this game to stay close all the way. This should be a sloppy game where it comes right down to the final possession. In a game like that, getting more than one possession with the underdog has good value.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Houston Rockets -3 

The Rockets lay a low number here on Friday night. Houston's start to the season has been less than ideal. They come in just 1-5 and have endured injuries and suspensions that have really affected them.

However, this a night where they matchup extremely well with the Nets. Brooklyn has one of the youngest teams in the NBA and it has really hurt them on the defensive end. They've been struck by many mental mistakes and allowed a lot of easy buckets because of the pace they play at. 

Houston will take on a defense that has given up 115 points per game this year at home. Look for them to really turn up the tempo early on here and try to get this Nets team on their heels.

Some trends to note. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Road team is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

Lay this small number. The Rockets are built on a team that vets that can stay the course and figure it out.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -4.5

The 76ers laying the points, at home, has value to work with.

Philadelphia's early season success has all come at home thus far. 

They enter play here a perfect 4-0 and have outscored the opposition by 11 points on average in those 4 contests. 

They welcome in the Clippers here who have just been atrocious on the defensive end. In 3 road contests thus far, the Clippers have conceded 119 points per game. They've struggled in every facet, both with their transition defense as well as in the paint. 

With the pace this 76ers team plays at, this will be a handful for the Clippers.

Some trends to note. 76ers are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 76ers are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 vs. NBA Pacific.

Lay the points.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks +7

We saw the Lakers finally get their first dosage of frustrations and now they welcome in the Mavs here on Wednesday night.

Lebron James showed signs of growing impatient with a lot of things as the Lakers flopped in Minnesota last time out. This team is going to endure a lot of issues here in the early going, but James showing his frustrations already is not a good sign for this Lakers team.

Meanwhile, Dallas has the offensive firepower to keep up here. They are averaging 111.1 points per game as their solid mixture of veterans and rookies have meshed here early on.

Look for them to really try to frustrate this Lakers team early with some pressure, as they know they have them on tilt right now.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Grab the points.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland Cavaliers -4.5

The Cavs have yet to find the win column this season and because of that we saw them make a coaching change this past weekend.  This is going to be a very energetic team here on Tuesday night. 

Cleveland knows they are certainly better than what they've shown here through the first 6 games. It starts with the young stars on this team. The Cavs are going to be built on this core for quite some time and top ownership made it very clear that they are going in the youth direction. 

Don't take away from the veteran leadership either that will help this young core grow. Both Channing Frye and Sam Dekker are going to help this core over the next month with Kevin Love out. Look for those two to get some big minutes here tonight and help solidify these lineups the Cavs put out against the Hawks. 

Some trends to note. Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Lay the points here. Cleveland has a new found energy and will certainly look to send a message here after all the changes. 

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

New York +12

The Knicks are giving a lot of teams difficulties here in the early going. Grabbing the points here has value. NY are a team that are going to play a grind it out style, which in turn should frustrate the Warriors here. 

Should the Knicks be able to slow things down and really force the Warriors out of their rhythm, this one could be closer than a lot of people think.

New York has shown they can compete with the top tier teams already as they did take Milwaukee to the brink before they pulled away late and they fell to Boston by just 2.

Some trends to note. New York is 4-1-1 ATS in its last 6 games. Warriors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Warriors are 10-25-2 ATS in their last 37 vs. NBA Atlantic.

Grab the points here. New York is much better than the 1-4 record indicates and they can really keep this one close.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City -1.5

The Thunder have yet to find themselves in the win column and look to rebound from a bad loss against the Kings. 

Oklahoma City simply had zero defense in their loss, something they will certainly put a major focus on here. It almost seemed as if this team played down to their opponent in the loss to the Kings. They gave everything they could against the Warriors to start the season and took them to the brink, which should show that this team is better than what they showed. 

This is a spot where Oklahoma City will certainly step up and really turn this into a grind it out style. Expect the intensity to turn up and the defense to really put the pressure on these Celtics shooters. 

Along with that, the offense for Oklahoma City has been solid here in the early going. With Westbrook back in the lineup as well, this is a nice spot for them to get themselves into the win column.

Some trends to consider.  Celtics are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Celtics are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. Thunder are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 games following a double-digit loss at home.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
