This game features the Knicks at the Celtics. This game fits a perfect 18-0-1 against the spread system here. We want to play on Game 3 Pick or favorites of less than 6 for teams that scored 77 or less but also held their opponents to 93 or less points. If there is one game Boston will get up for and give everything they have left it's this game plus the public is all over the Knicks as 60% of all bets have gone down on them. Also i'm in contact with many top books and all believe this will be there big money making game tonight as they roast the public here. Take the Celtics tonight to win at home for a 9* play.

This game features the Heat at the Bucks. I played on the Bucks Monday Night because i believed they would be desperate enough to keep it close for 4 quarters. Well they did but it wasn't easy as in the 4th Quarter they imploded as the Heat went on a 30-21 run to end the game. Tonight the Bucks have to win this game at home to have any chance in the series. The public is MASSIVELY on the Heat here at a rate of 83% and 96% on the ML . I want all my clients to PARLAY the BUCKS plus the points and the Grizzlies MONEY LINE for my NBA PARLAY OF THE YEAR. Good luck guys.

This game features the Rockets at the Thunder. The Thunder pounded the Rockets bye almost 30 points in their last game. But just like we backed the Bucks last night we will be backing the Rockets tonight as the Rockets will be playing balls to the wall tonight. Public is squarely behind the Thunder at a rate of 74%. Get a 10* play on the Rockets plus the points.

This game features the 38-44 Bucks at the 66-16 Heat. I don't think anyone expects the Bucks to beat the Heat tonight Hell i don't either. But I do guarantee they stay within the number. The heat should come out a little rusty as many of their top stars have been resting down the stretch. The Heat have covered only 2 times the last 9 time they were favored bye double digits. The public is all over the Heat in this game 75% of all bets are coming in on the Heat this is where sharps shine. Take the Bucks plus the points for a 10* play here i have +14 but line will drop so get on asap.

This game features the 56-26 Grizzlies at the 56-26 Clippers. Both teams here are very good teams that goes without question but who is in the best situation to win game 1 and i believe it's clearly the Clippers. The Clippers come in with a 32-9 Home floor record and the Clippers won 3 of 4 regular season games. Also a great system i found is we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after having covered 3 of their last 4 games against the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .600 and .750. This situation is 48-25 ATS 65% over the last 5 seasons. Im telling all clients to bet a 10* play on the Clippers minus the points here.

This game features the 29-51 Wizards at the 47-33 Nets. The Wizards have incentive to win 30 games and get revenge for an embarrassing loss to the Nets last month. The Nets though, have nothing to play for after being upset by Toronto on Sunday. The Nets are locked into the No. 4 seed. Their goal going into the playoffs is getting healthy. That means resting players. So don't expect Gerald Wallace or Deron Williams to see many minutes if they even play at all. This is what Nets coach P.J. Carleismo said after Sunday's loss to the Raptors: "We don't need to get anybody hurt. We're not playing for anything. Going forward now we've certainly got to rest some people." With John Wall playing well, the Wizards certainly are capable of pulling the outright upset against the disinterested Nets. The public early on is 50/50 id like all clients to place a 9* play on the Wizards + the points here.

This game features the 31-47 Sixers and the 29-50 Wizards. Both teams have hit the wall as of late with both teams losing 3 in a row. Sixers Do not want to end the season on a bad note Doug Collins will be motivating his team rite till the end. This line opened up at 6 and this line continues to dip as it's at 5.5 now with over 70% of all bets coming in on the Wizards. I like the sharp side alot tonight as i'm telling all clients to bet the Sixers plus the points for a 9* play.

3* LEAN

This game features the 56-21 Thunder at the 41-37 Jazz. The Jazz fit a tremendous dog system that is 14-1 straight up and ats for Home dogs of 4 or less that scored 90 or more as a road dog of 5 or more, vs an opponent like OKC that scored 110 or more at home and shot 45% or higher, if the total is 200 or higher.. This one dates to 1995. The Thunder are a crappy 2-7 straight up as a road favorite of 3.5 or less. The Jazz are 3-0 ats as a home dog of 3.5 or less, 3-0 ats on Tuesday and have 23 point revenge. They defeated OKC earlier in the Year here 109-94. Look for them at the very least to get the cover in this one as i'm playing a 9* play on the JAZZ PLUS THE POINTS.

This game features the 55-20 Thunder at the 48-27 Pacers. Now the Thunder finds themselves off a satisfying revenge win over the Spurs and now taking on a Pacers team with 3+ days rest also with revenge against an opponent with no rest off a win. So now we are on the Pacers as the Thunder are in the same spot the Spurs were in last night. Also this game means alot more to the Pacers then it does the Thunder. Another solid system from the database has cashed 19 of 21 times since 1995 and plays on home favorites, like the Pacers of 4 or less points that played on the road in their last game, vs an opponent that was at home and scored 100 or more with 1+ prior rest and had 25 or less assists.. Take the Pacers to cover the spread for a 10* play!

8*

This game features the 36-37 Mavs at the 38-36 Lakers. This game is huge as far as playoff go in the West. Mavs trail the Lakers so this is a must win for the Mavs. Dallas will look to build momentum from their Big last shot win over Chicago on Saturday. They will do so knowing they are are 13-0 to the spread on the road off a win where Dirk scored 30 or more points. The Mavericks also apply to a perfect system here that plays on road dogs with 1 or more day of rest at +4 or less that scored 100 or more as a home favorite, vs an opponent like the Lakers that scored 100 or more and shot 45% or higher from the field as a road favorite of 4 or less. These road teams are 10-0 to the spread and have sprung 8 upsets since 1995. Play a 9* play on the Mavs plus the points.

This game features the 57-15 Heat at the 55-17 Spurs. What a match-up for Easter we have with the 2 best NBA teams. The spurs are a very proud very well coached NBA team and i just don't see them losing at home. On the flip side the Heat are 25-12 away from Miami. The public is still humping the Heat and are paying the Spurs no respect betting the Heat at a 60% clip. I see the Spurs winning a close one here but there a solid 9* play. Take the Spurs to win for a 9* play.

This game features the 53-20 Thunder and the 35-36 Bucks. This total opened at 210.5 and i'm slowly seeing line drift downward despite a mass amount of early bets come in on the over. I got 209 as my number and really it won't even be close. Thunder are coming off a loss to the lowly T'wolves as their defense gave up 103 but before that held opponents in the mid 80's. On the other side we have the Bucks who are fighting hard to keep their 7th spot in the East playoff race as no one wants the Heat in round 1. Look for a concerted defensive effort on both sides and a easy cover. 10* PLAY ON THE UNDER

This game features the 47-23 Grizzlies at the 43-26 Knicks. Monday Night we played on the Wizards but tonight we will be backing the Grizzlies. Grizz are sitting in 5th place in the Western but is just a game out of 3rd place so improving on seeding is very possible still. The Grizzlies had won 14 of 15 games but have since gone just 3-4 over their last seven games with the home team winning all seven of those games. That would make the Knicks the likely choice here but I feel that streak is broken tonight. Memphis is coming off an embarrassing road loss at Washington making it 4 straight non-covers but playing another Eastern Conference team is just what it needs. The Grizzlies are 21-7 straight up and 19-9 ATS in non-conference games this season while going 15-7 following a loss. While the Grizzlies have faltered, the Knicks have found their rhythm again as they have won five straight games including a romp at rival Boston last night. New York is now two and a half games ahead of Brooklyn in the Atlantic Division and percentage points ahead of Indiana for second place in the Eastern Conference. Additionally, the Knicks have covered six straight games so we are going contrarian on both sides of the ATS streaks. New York is just 11-19 against teams ranked within the top 16 while Memphis is 21-16 against similar teams while going 51-25-3 ATS in its last 79 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Also, we play against teams where the line is between +3 and -3 that are revenging a road loss of 10 points or more going up against an opponent off a road loss. This situation is 78-42 ATS 65% over the last five seasons. The public is backing the home Knicks here at a 62% rate. Take the Grizz to win this game and cover the spread for a 9* play.

This game features the 48-22 Clippers at the 34-36 Mavs. This game is Huge for the Mavericks with the Lakers losing Monday night at Golden State it leaves the door open for a playoff birth for the Mavs. 21-13 in their last 34 games the Mavs are still looking for a win against the best in the west Clippers. The public is rocking the spread today as their all over the road Clipps at a 83% rate. I love the home Mavs here and i guarantee they get the cover tonight and i'm telling all my top clients to get a 10* play on the Mavs plus the points here.

This game features the 47-22 Grizzlies at the 25-44 Wizards. Let's get this out in the open the Grizzlies are the better team but the Wizards have played great since the return of John Wall and are a covering machine. The grizzlies have lost 3 straight on the road and the Wizards have won 5 straight at home and overall are a very tough team at Washington. The public is all over the road Grizz here at a rate of 85%. Get a big 9* play on the Wizards plus the points here.

This game features the 26-43 Raptors at the 41-26 Knicks. These 2 teams met yesterday with 193 total points scored that alone will get the public on the over 192.5 as 81% have jumped on it giving the under tremendous value here. I expect the line to go down and then up slightly before tip. Im advising all clients to make a 10* play on the Under in this game!

This game features the 50-18 Thunder and the 45-21 Grizzlies. Last night we backed the Thunder as we were blasted with a huge 9* loss. Rarely do i read a game wrong and tonight i see a tremendous advantage with the rested Grizz taking on the Thunder who played last night then had to fly to Memphis for a very tough game with a very good team. Look for a sell out crowd that's out for blood tonight as the NBA'S number 1 defense will come to play tonight. The public is hitting the Thunder very hard at a rate of 78% yet the line went from the Thunder being favored to a line of -1.5 Grizzlies. Take the grizzlies to win ON THE MONEY LINE tonight and cash with this huge 10* winner!

Tis game features the 46-22 Nuggets at the 50-17 Thunder. The Thunder have Double revenge here vs a Denver team that is in tough scheduling spot. Nuggets have no rest off a tough game with Chicago in a back to back road scenario with teams over .500. The Thunder have rest here and we note that road dogs of 5 or more with no rest and a total of 200 or higher have failed to win or cover 93% of the time if they were a road favorite of 4 or less with a total of 190 or higher last night, vs an opponent like OKC that scored 100 or more as a road favorite. These road teams lose by an average 109-94 score. Teams just do NOT win here in OKC with no rest as they are 0-6 straight up and ats in this situation with a total that is 200 or higher. The Nuggets have lost and failed to cover the last 3 times as a road dog with no rest and lost here by 20 in the first meeting between these two. With OKC 14-6 ats with revenge, we look for an old fashioned Beat down here tonight. Im telling all my clients to play a 9* play on the Thunder here for a easy winner!

This game features the 51-14 Heat at the 36-29 Celtics. Miami's run began five days after a 100-98 double-overtime loss in Boston on Jan. 27, the same day the Celtics (36-29) learned Rajon Rondo was out for the season with a torn ACL. Shockingly, they've won all 11 of their games in Boston since losing Rondo, recording the team's longest single-season home winning streak since 2008-09.
"We just feel like this is a building we should never lose in," said Paul Pierce, whose Celtics are 24-9 at home. "Teams coming to the Garden, they've got to know that this is going to be their toughest game of the year. That's the feeling and the swagger that we're bringing."
This home win streak began with that thriller against the Heat (51-14), who have averaged a paltry 79.6 points in going 0-5 at Boston during the regular season since James joined the team. Miami, though, is 2/3 there in the playoffs over the past two years, including a Game 6 win in the 2012 Eastern Conference finals when the Celtics had a chance to close out the series.The Heat also knocked them out in the conference semifinals a year earlier, but Boston has won 12 of the past 15 regular-season meetings. That includes a 7-3 record since James joined this rivalry, though the Celtics did lose 120-107 in Miami to open the season. I really see the Celtics winning this season outrite as the Heat have been on a grueling stretch this week. Take the Celtics plus the points for a 10* play the public is all over the road Heat. 10* play on the Celtics.

This game features the 31-34 Blazers at the 25-40.At 25-40, the Sixers are not going to the playoffs and they know it. Maybe that's why, with the pressure lifted, the Sixers are playing their finest ball after underachieving all season. The Sixers have a winning home record. They have been enjoying their current homestand going 2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS in their last three games. Their only loss was by four points to the red-hot Heat, winners of 22 straight games. Philadelphia defeated the Nets by nine and Pacers by seven. These victories against the Nets and Pacers, two solid playoff teams, weren't flukes either. The Sixers blocked 14 shots against Indiana. Spencer Hawes may have played his finest game with 18 points, a career-high 16 rebounds, eight assists and seven blocks. The 7-foot-1 Hawes can neutralize LaMarcus Aldridge, who is Portland's No. 1 scoring option. Philadelphia is a very dangerous foe to be playing when at home right now so the timing is bad for Portland. The Trail Blazers also happen to be a terrible road club. They are 9-23 away from Rose Garden, 13-19 ATS. Basketball is fun again for the 76ers. I expect another strong performance from them especially since they head out for a four-game West Coast trip following this matchup. Again today im siding with the slight public favorite and making the Sixers a 8* play today.

This game features the 37-30 Warriors at the 36-30 Rockets. The oddsmaker have set the total way too high for what should be an intense game. Neither team is very good defensively and the first 2 games in the series were off the charts as far as points scored, but this is an entirely different game and situation. Neither team is playing well. Golden State is averaging just 93.3 points in its last six games. Houston is turning the ball over way too much committing 59 turnovers during its last three games. I see this game being played out closer to their matchup of nine days ago when there were just 182 points scored. James Harden and Stephen Curry are great scorers, but it's too much of a leap in faith to expect both of these teams to suddenly put on a far better offensive performance than their recent form indicates. The public is riding the over here at a rate of 55% yet the over under has gone from 219 to 217 in some spots. Get on the UNDER for a huge 10* play here.

This game features the 44-20 Grizz at the 33-32 Jazz. The Jazz are desperately trying to earn a playoff spot. Right now they trail the Lakers by one game for the final spot in the West. They know they are far better at home than on the road. They can't afford any home losses. The Jazz last played on Wednesday when they were blown out on the road by the Thunder, 110-87. The only bright spot from that game was the return of underrated forward Paul Millsap from a knee injury that had kept him out of two games. The rested Jazz are eager to put that loss behind them. They have covered eight of the last 10 times following a loss of more than 10 points. I like Memphis. They are normally solid on the road. But this marks the Grizzlies' fourth road game in five days and second game in high altitude in two nights. The Grizzlies no longer have a strong bench due to cost-cutting trades. The Jazz are one of the few teams that match up well to the Grizzlies' physical, rebounding front line. Utah has won nine of the last 10 in this series. The Jazz also are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games versus a road club with a better than .600 winning away percentage. The public will be slightly on the road Grizz take the home Jazz for a strong 8* play.

This game faetures the 40-25 Pacers at the 24-40 Sixers. The Pacers have covered the spread in just 2 of their last 7 games. The Sixers meanwhile are coming off a very close four point loss to the Miami Heat. Doug Collins squad has played well of late despite not getting the wins they probably deserved. Philly has covered the spread in 5 of its

This game features the 22-42 Cavs at the 30-34 Mavs. We played on the Mavs yesterday for a easy 8* winner now tonight we change gears. The Cavs proved they could win without Kyrie Irving beating much-improved Washington, 95-90, at home 2 nights ago. The Cavaliers also showed they could win on the road as they beat the Raptors in the game before that with Irving playing less than 25 minutes. Now the Cavaliers travel to Dallas. The Mavericks are better than Washington and Toronto. They are in a desperate struggle to reach the playoffs for a 13th straight season. Dallas, though, is 4 games below .500. So the Mavericks are far from being a powerhouse. This also is a good situational spot for the Cavaliers. Even without Irving, the Cavaliers have good young talent. These players, especially underrated rookie guard Dion Waiters, want to step up and show their stuff now that they aren't overshadowed by the highly-talented but fragile Irving. Cleveland has covered in its last 4 road contests. The Cavaliers are 6-2 ATS following a spread cover and are 5-1 ATS during their past six visits to Dallas. Dallas just concluded a four-game road trip with a tough one-point loss to Western Conference-leading San Antonio last night. The Mavericks scored the final seven points in their 92-91 loss to the Spurs and had the final shot, but Vince Carter missed a 3-pointer in the final second. Now the Mavericks have to quickly turn around and play again hardly having time to adjust to being back at home. The Mavericks are one of the oldest teams in the NBA. This is their third game in four days and only the second time since Feb. 1 they are playing without rest. The Mavericks also could be without Shawn Marion for a fifth straight game due to a bruised calf. The Cavaliers are loose, have underrated talent even without Irving and catch the Mavericks down mentally and in a potential look-ahead spot. Dallas hosts the Thunder on Sunday, a much bigger game for the Mavericks. Public is backing the Cavs slightly and so are we for a 9* play take the Cavs plus the points.

This game features the 30-33 Mavs at the 49-16 Spurs. The Mavs have won 5 of their 7 games and are inching their way back to a .500 record after a porous start to the season. The Mavs still have a shot at the playoffs believe it or not and this is another must game win for them. "We know time is short, and urgency is high," coach Rick Carlisle said. The Mavericks are an excellent 20-13 ATS on the road this year and 19-13 ATS as the underdog. The Spurs are still without Tony Parker and have a banged up Tim Duncan on crutches. The Spurs have lost 2 of its last 3 games and those losses where blowout one to Portland and Minnesota. The public is heavilly backing the Spurs here at a rate of 73% making us love the Mavs all the more play a 8* play on the Mavs plus the points.

This game features the 38-23 Knicks at the 43-22 Nuggets. The Knicks fit a great system here that has cashed 17 of 19 times and plays on rested road dogs with a total of 190 or more that scored 70 or less on the road, vs an opponent that had a total of 190 or more and scored 100 or more last out. The Knicks pathetic loss in Golden St sets this play up as they managed a measly 63 points. Things should be different tonight as New York is 14-5 ats vs North West Division teams, 3-1 after scoring 85 or less and 5-2 off a loss of 10 or more. Denver has failed to cover 6 of the last 7 vs Atlantic Division teams. The Nuggets have won 9 straight and have covered 6 straight, while shooting over 50% for an incredible 5 straight games. The Line is too high here and Denver may bounce back to earth here tonight. Take the Points with the Knicks for a 8* play.

This game features the 49-15 Spurs at the 21-39 Twolves. We played on the Spurs huge 10* winner last night at home against the Thunder but will be going against the Spurs on Tuesday as they hit the road to Minnesota. The Monday game was a big one for the Spurs for a couple reasons as they were playing their first game following a home loss against Portland by 30 points so they were out to make up for that and they were also playing with revenge against the Thunder. A matchup of that magnitude usually results in a letdown the next game and even more so when it is taking place the following night and against a much weaker team. The Spurs have three straight meetings in this series while covering all three as well which includes to wins this season. The last meeting took place in Minnesota and while San Antonio won by 10 points, it was only favored by five points. That was just a little over a month ago so we are getting a much better line this time around and in that last game, Tony Parker was playing for the Spurs and had a game high 31 points. He is obviously out for this one. It has been a tough season for Minnesota as injuries have really hurt the Timberwolves right from the start of the season. They have lost two straight games, both coming by way of a blowout as they lost in Denver by 23 points and then followed that up with a home loss against Dallas by 23 points. Clearly the T'wolves are the far inferior team here but when playing the situational angles, they are in good shape for a bounceback on its own part. The Spurs have struggled in playing down to the competition as they are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. San Antonio has been favored by 7 or more points on the road 5 times since mid-December as has gone 1-4 ATS with the lone cover coming just one point play a 9* play on the T'wolves plus the points.

This match-up features the 33-31 Lakers at the 18-46 Lakers. We think the sky is the limit for the Lakers offensively tonight. They have been playing very well lately, and tonight they face a Magic team that has been pushing the pace a lot more than they have all season, and they are playing some horrible defense right now. At the same time, this Magic team has a group of young players that seem to be playing well with each other right now, and they have been playing with nothing to lose, and their offense has been performing pretty well. We think that they will be competitive in this game because of that and because of the fact that they are at home and playing the Lakers. This Orlando team showed what it could do when motivated against the Heat last week, losing on a last-second shot from LeBron James. It

This game features the 47-16 Thunder at the 48-15 Spurs. The Spurs fit a solid system here as we play on home favorites with 2 days rest that scored 100 or more as a home favorite of 5 or more and shot 50% or higher, vs an opponent like OKC that scored 90 or more as a home favorite of 10 or more last out. These home favorites are 12-0 straight up and have covered 9 of 10 times, winning by an average 14 points per game. OKC is 0-5 straight up vs the Spurs when they have no rest. All teams going into San Antonio are 1-6 straight up and ats as a road dog of 4 or less while playing at home the night before. The Spurs will look to break a 6 game spread loss to streak to the Thunder. The Spurs are 4-1 of late vs winning teams, 9-1 off a favored loss, 6-1 with 2 days rest,20-7 ats after scoring 105 or more and have won and covered 3 of the last 4 off a loss of 10 or more. The Thunder are 1-6 straight up here. The Line is reasonable and has been adjusted with the absence of Tony Parker. Look for a solid bounce back game here from the Spurs. Take the Spurs MONEY LINE as a 10* Career guarantee play.

This game features the 23-38 Sixers at the 17-46 Magic. The 76ers will try to avenge that defeat and snap their longest road losing streak in 25 seasons in Sunday's rematch with the Magic.

Philadelphia lost for the 11th time in 12 games Friday, falling 102-93 at Miami. The 76ers led by as many as nine points in the third quarter, but the Heat went on a 17-4 run in the final period en route to their 17th consecutive win.

Both Teams have been scoring alot more per game then when the season started this game opened at 193.5 and is now sitting at 195 even with the public squarely on the under at 65% of all bets. Were goin over for a 9* play.

his game features the 33-29 Rockets at the 35-27 Warriors. Two nights after beating the Raptors 125-118, Golden State (35-27) had its hands full with the lowly Kings before escaping with an 87-83 win Wednesday. Thompson scored a team-high 20, including the go-ahead 3 with 7.5 seconds to play for the Warriors, who were limited to 36.0 percent shooting -- their worst mark in a win since February 2003.
"We're not the Miami Heat. We're not the Oklahoma City Thunder. A lot of nights it's not going to be pretty," coach Mark Jackson said. "That's just the fact. I embrace it. I give my guys credit because we battled, we competed, we got stops when we had to and we continued to put a check mark in the (win) column."
While he may sometimes get overshadowed by sharpshooter Stephen Curry and All-Star forward David Lee, Thompson has played a key role in Golden State's success. He's averaging 23.7 points while going 15 for 27 from 3-point range over the last three games, and the Warriors are 23-10 when he scores at least 16.
"I watch this guy every single day and this guy is a knockdown shooter in every sense of the term," Jackson said. "When you pick guys, that have ever played this game, that had to shoot a wide open shot -- he's in the discussion. That's what Klay does for a living."
The Rockets (33-29) also beat the Warriors 140-109 on Feb. 5, while tying an NBA record and setting a franchise mark with 23 3-pointers.
Houston snapped a nine-game losing streak against Dallas with Sunday's 136-103 rout, but fell 112-108 in the back end of a home-and-home set Wednesday. Harden had 28 points and nine assists while Chandler Parsons scored 23, but the Rockets allowed the host Mavericks to shoot 54.2 percent.
Losers of 12 of 18 as the visiting team, the Rockets sit in 7th in the Western Conference, two games behind the Warriors.
I expect a close back and forth high scoring game as in the end the Warriors pull away with a 110-103 victory which is high scoring but nowhere close to the 223 total expected. Cash on the UNDER for a 10* play here.

This game features the 45-16 Thunder at the 13-48 Bobcats. Clearly Oklahoma City is a better team than Charlotte, 31.5 games better to be exact. Looking at power ratings, the Thunder are first and the Bobcats are last so looking simply at those factors, the Thunder should roll. But that is why they play the games. Take them out of Oklahoma City and while still a very strong team, they are far from the same. They are 17-12 straight up and 14-13-2 ATS while going 13-12-1 against the number as a road chalk. Decent but far from dominating. And the situation at hand is not in Oklahoma City's favor as this can be considered a big breather game as it is coming off a string of games against the Nuggets, Chippers, Lakers and Knicks, 3 of which were on the road and the last one coming Thursday night in New York where the Thunder barely got by with a win. The Thunder have not traveled well either as they are 2-3 straight up ATS when playing the second of back-to-back road games. Oklahoma City has been favored by 14 or more points four times but all four times have been at home. Charlotte has been an underdog of 14 or more points four times but all of those games were on the road. The Thunder have been double-digit road favorites only twice this season and they failed to cover either of those games, losing one straight up in Washington as a matter of fact. Charlotte has had some bad losses this season but it was completely embarrassed in the first meeting at Oklahoma City as it lost by 45 points, easily the biggest loss this season so motivation will not be an issue. The Bobcats also fall into a great situation as we play on underdogs that have failed to cover the spread in 12 or more of the last 15 going up against an opponent that has covered five or six of its last seven games against the spread. This situation is 45-19 ATS 70% since 1996. The public is all over the road favorite at a rate of 76% play on the Bobcats here for a 9* play.

This game features the 44-19 Clippers at the 40-22 Nuggets. Clippers a older team come of a home game last night so there playing in the Denver high altitude add to that the Nuggets are red hot winning 5 straight and going 4-0-1 ats. Public is backing them and so are we for a 9* play.

This game features the 32-27 Celtics at the 38-22 Pacers. Yesterday we played against the CELTICS and well tonight we do as well in this spot. The Celtics have won eight straight games at home heading into Philadelphia on Tuesday where they begin a quick two-game roadtrip in two nights. The road has been a problem all season for Boston as it is 10-18 on the highway including losses in seven of its last 10 games. The Celtics have improved in their play with no rest compared to past seasons as they are just below the .500 mark in the second game of a back-to-back set however they are 1-3 both straight up and against the number in the second of back-to-back road games. To their credit, they are 9-10 against teams ranked in the top ten in the NBA power rankings however most of that success has come at home as they are 1-7 against those teams on the road including losses in six straight. Indiana has won two straight and seven of its last eight games following a very rare two-game home losing streak. Those two losses came in overtime and the Pacers are 5-1 at home in six games since then with the lone loss coming against the Clippers with Roy Hibbert sitting that one out due to a suspension. Indian will also be out for some double-revenge following a loss in Boston earlier this season by 19 points and a home loss against the Celtics by 14 toward the end of last season. This game may be off the board in some spots as Danny Granger re-aggravated his injured knee and is questionable but he has been limited in his return and has done very little in five games. Indiana has covered five of the last seven at home in this series and tonight will be no different. 8* play on Pacers to cover the large number.

This game features the 31-27 Celtics at the 23-35 Sixers. Saddled with a grueling road-heavy schedule, things haven't come easy for the Boston Celtics since the All-Star break. That's also been the case when they've had to travel to Philadelphia. The Celtics will be coming off a much-needed three-day layoff when they attempt to end their road struggles against the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.The Celtics are in the midst of playing nine of 11 on the road. I think Boston will come out flat and the Sixers step up and take control and with the + 3 we get with the Sixers the line is heavy in our favor. Take the Sixers +3 9*

This game features the 13-46 Bobcats at the 27-31 Blazers. The NBA is funny at times where you will see teams play the complete opposite of what they just did depending on the opponent, situation or other factors so basically, you cannot go by 'what you see is what you get'. This is an ugly underdog play for tonight and a lot of it is based on the opposite of what Charlotte has done and what it has done to the line. The Bobcats are off to a 0-3 start on this road trip including two straight losses by 30 and 36 points. That is the definition of ugly. The public will be no doubt riding against Charlotte once again so the line had to be adjusted. In this case I feel it was adjusted by too much. Portland is coming off a win over Minnesota on Saturday which was its second win in three games but going back it is just 7-16 in its last 23 games to fall way back in the playoff picture. This includes a 6-6 record at home which is certainly nothing special and some of those losses came against the likes of Cleveland, Milwaukee, Washington and Phoenix so it isn't like they have only been losing to the elite teams. The Blazers are now favored by the most points they have been favored by all season and the role of favorite has not been good anyway as they are 5-11 as a chalk of more than three points. Obviously Charlotte has not been very good against the spread this season but it is hard to see the Blazers get up for this one considering they are 9-19 ATS already this season against teams with a losing record. Also, they are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games following two or more consecutive covers and they fall into a negative situation where we play against favorites of 10 or more points after having lost four or five of their last six games, and playing just four or less games in 10 days. This situation is 36-13 ATS 73% since 1996. Bobcats +13 in this spot for a 9* play.

This game features the 42-16 Thunder at the 43-18 Clippers. There's little argument the Los Angeles Clippers are serious championship contenders, and their recent surge -- especially the dominance during it -- shows their potential to accomplish that goal.

The Oklahoma City Thunder may need to improve their game on the road if they plan to make another run to the NBA Finals.Thunder are a superb 92-45 ATS in the regular season off a loss. I've been playing this angle for years, and it's still mining a huge profit, as it's 11-4 ATS already this year. And there's really no weak spots in the trend. Take the Thunder plus the points for a 8* play.

This game features 42-14 Heat at the 35-20 Knicks. New York heads into this contest having won three straight following a season-worst four-game skid after Anthony scored a game-high 30 points in Friday's 96-88 victory at Washington.

"We will be prepared for Miami," said Anthony, who has scored at least 30 points in three of his last four.

Felton added 23 points and J.R. Smith scored 13 off the bench for the Knicks, who outscored the Wizards 23-11 in the fourth quarter. They know they need to be better going forward, especially against surging Miami.

"We locked down in spurts, but still not where we really want to be," Smith said. "We had the game won a few times, but let them back in it.."

The Knicks have won seven of nine at home, while the Heat have won their last five on the road by an average of 16.2 points.

This game comes down to who needs it more and clearly it's the Knicks the public is rock solid on the Heat here with 77% on the road favorite Heat. Take the Knicks for a 9* play today!

This game features the 33-26 Warriors at the 22-34 Sixers. Philadelphia (22-34) was hoping to challenge for an Atlantic Division title and make another playoff run after acquiring Bynum and former Warriors Jason Richardson in the same four-team offseason deal, but Bynum hasn't played due to knee issues and Richardson won't suit up again in 2012-13 after undergoing surgery on his left knee last month.

Surgery could be the next option for Bynum, who admitted for the first time on Friday that he might not play this season because of swelling in his right knee. The two-time All-Star will be an unrestricted free agent after making $16.5 million this season.

"I think being healthy is more important than everything else," Bynum said. "If I am healthy, I'll get a deal. I have to be able to play and I need to get to the point with my body where I'm able to play, however long that takes."

Bynum's return appears less likely as each day passes, so all the 76ers can do at this point is try to regroup from Thursday's 93-82 loss at Chicago and start chipping away at the six-game lead eighth-place Milwaukee has over them in the Eastern race.

Standing in their way on Saturday will be a Warriors team currently sixth in the West.

"They're one of the surprise teams this year," 76ers coach Doug Collins said after Friday's practice. "(Coach) Mark Jackson has done a nice job with them."

Golden State (33-26), though, is winless since opening its five-game trip on Sunday with a third consecutive victory, 100-99 over Minnesota.

"I give them credit, they defended, but we missed shots," Jackson after the Warriors had their second-worst shooting performance of the season (34.0 percent) in Friday's 94-86 loss to Boston.

Point guard Stephen Curry missed 16 of 22 field-goal attempts, but he hit all 10 of his free throws to finish with 25 points. Two days earlier, Curry had career highs of 11 3-pointers and 54 points in a 109-105 loss to New York.

Collins raved about that effort -- that came as no surprise as he's watched his team shoot 41.4 percent and average 88.3 points since its last win -- but he's equally concerned about keeping David Lee and Carl Landry off the boards.

Lee, who returned from a one-game suspension on Friday and posted his NBA-best 38th double-double with 10 points and 19 rebounds, had team highs with 25 points and 12 rebounds in a 96-89 victory over Philadelphia on Dec. 28. Landry added 15 points and 11 boards to help Golden State win the rebounding battle 52-43.

The Warriors, who open a season-high seven-game homestand on Monday against Toronto, have lost four straight in Philadelphia.

All-Star guard Jrue Holiday, who had 21 points and 10 assists in the December loss in Oakland, leads the 76ers with 17.7 points and 7.1 assists per game during their slide.

Philadelphia is enduring its longest losing streak since an 0-12 stretch that ended with a 117-101 home win over Golden State on Dec. 14, 2009.

Warriors are on the end of a grueling 5 game east coast trip and 4 games in 5 nights. Basically the Warriors are tired where as the Sixers are fresh. The public is pounding the Warriors at a 83% clip yet the line is moving in reverse take the SIXERS to win for a 10* play.

This game features the 38-18 Grizz at the 41-14 Heat. This has the makings of a great game on paper but don't expect it to be like that. The Heat have won 12 straight games and while that is a fade trend, keep in mind that the Grizzlies have won eight straight games including an improbable one last time out. They trailed Dallas by 25 points in the second quarter but went on a 33-2 run that included a 13-2 run to end the first half and a 20-0 to open the third quarter and did not give it back. It matched the biggest comeback in franchise history and even though Miami are now the opponent, that comeback will have some lingering effects. The current winning streak includes 3 wins on the road as Memphis is now a solid 15-10 away from home but 10 of those wins have come when listed as a favorite so it has beaten the poor teams the majority of the time. While going 20-5 against teams outside the top 16, the Grizzlies are 18-13 against the top 16 including 9-10 against the top 10. One of those wins came against Miami at home earlier in the season by 18 points and Miami has surely not forgotten. The Heat were held to just 38 percent shooting from the floor while missing 14 of 36 free throws in what was one of their worst games of the season. It was the second biggest defeat of the season and on top of that, they lost the meeting at home last season by 15 points so those two double-digit losses will no doubt have them focused. Unlike a lot of teams from the East, Miami actually has a better record against Western Conference teams, going 21-5 compared to 20-9 within its own conference. Tonight were backing the public with a play on the Heat for a 8* play.

This game features the 20-38 Hornets at the 41-15 Thunder. Oklahoma City has bounced back nicely with two blowout wins over Minnesota and Chicago. While they are rolling once again, I don't think the Thunder fully show up for this game. Following the game against the Hornets they hit the road to face the Nuggets and Clippers, return home to take on the Lakers and travel again to face the Knicks, all in a span of one week. The mentality here will be get on the court, come out with a win and move on as there is no reason to go full out against the Hornets. This is even more the case considering the Thunder have won all three meetings this season and going back have won seven straight games in this series. The fact that they have lost the first three meetings in this series shows that they will be out avoid the season sweep and getting a ton of points on top of that only helps our cause. New Orleans has been one of the better road teams in the NBA when it comes to covering as it is 19-10 ATS as a road underdog and the Hornets are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. As mentioned, the Thunder have owned this series however, the road team is a 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings and New Orleans has kept the games played here very respectable, covering all of them. Betting public is all over the Thunder taking them 84% of all bets placed. Take the Hornets plus the huge number 8*

This game features the 18-38 Cavs at the 32-24 Bulls. This game fits a solid totals system that has won 13 of 14 times over the past 18 years and is predicated on the anemic offensive performance put forth by the Bulls against the Thunder. What we want to do is play the over for home teams with 1 day of rest that scored 90 or less on the road and shot 30% or less from the field, vs an opponent that had 25 or less assists in their last game. The last game here between these two teams had 210 points. The Bulls will score here after such a horrible offensive performance. The Cavs have played over in 12 of 15 on the road when the total is 185 to 190 and 7 of 10 this month. The public is on the under here at a 56% rate as there not looking at the info that we have play a 9* play on the over 190 here.

This game features the 28-29 Lakers at the 35-22 Nuggets. The Nuggets (35-22) had lost four of five -- with each loss coming on the road -- before bouncing back with a 113-99 victory at league-worst Charlotte on Saturday.

Now they're focused on catching Memphis for the No. 4 seed and earning home-court advantage for the first round of the playoffs.

"If we get to 53 or 54 (wins) I think that we'll get that fourth seed in the playoffs," guard Ty Lawson said. "But we know it's going to be a grind for the next couple weeks, couple months."

Lawson, who had a team-high 20 points against the Bobcats, has averaged 26.2 while shooting 54.5 percent from the field in his last six games. He had 21 points and 10 assists to lead Denver to a 112-105 win in Los Angeles on Jan. 6.

Danilo Gallinari, however, finished with just six points for the second consecutive game on Saturday while playing through a thigh bruise. The team's leading scorer (16.9 ppg) is considered questionable for Monday.

Gallinari has scored at least 19 in each of the three meetings with Los Angeles this season.

The Nuggets rank near the top of the league in home scoring (108.7), and have averaged 113.7 against the Lakers while allowing that same amount.

Reserve Antawn Jamison led Los Angeles with a season-high 33 points and 12 rebounds in a 122-103 home win over the Nuggets on Nov. 30.

Dwight Howard has totaled 42 points and 46 rebounds in the two home meetings, but finished with just 12 and seven, respectively, in the last meeting in Denver.

The Nuggets have won seven of 10 at home against the Lakers, including the first round of the 2012 playoffs. Flat out the Lakers are on a back to back spot while the Nuggets are at home rested and a much better team i expect a 20 point blow out win for Denver. Take the Nuggets minus the points for 9* play.

This game features the 18-37 Cavs at the 39-14 Heat. This is an excellent spot for an improving and motivated Cavaliers squad to cover what I see is an inflated number. The Heat just finished a perfect 4-0 road trip last night at Philadelphia. They are returning home - with all of the Southern Miami distractions - without rest. This marks Miami's fourth game in five days. The Heat don't have a strong bench and could be missing Mike Miller again. Cleveland is playing well. The Cavaliers have covered six of their last eight. They, too, played last night on the road rolling past Orlando, 118-94. It was the Cavaliers' most lopsided victory of the season. Cleveland coach Byron Scott was able to rest his starters the entire fourth quarter. It was the seventh time in the last eight chances the Cavaliers have covered versus an Eastern Conference team. Cleveland still has a chip on its shoulders about LeBron James departing to the Heat. This should ensure a full effort. The Cavaliers historically have played the Heat tough in Miami covering during six of their last eight visits. The Heat just nipped the Cavaliers by two during the first meeting this season. Im telling all my clients to place a 7* play on the Cavs + the points.

This game features the 31-26 Rockets at the 16-37 Wizards. Washington is not only the best ATS team in the league at 33-19-2, but they are also the best ATS for back-to-backs at 11-2 ATS. They have failed to cover only two games in back-to-back situations all season! That is a trend we can get behind. And we think the Rockets are not only overachieving big time right now but we think they are overrated. This team is only 11-18 on the road this season, and they got a win last nightwe think the averages play out in the Wizards favor tonight. We think the Wizards offense can exploit this weak Rockets defense much like they did last night against the Nuggets in scoring 119 points. Plus, the Wizards have covered in 4 of the last 6 matchups, and we think they not only get the cover tonight but the straight-out win. 88% of public money is on the Rockets making us love the Wiz even more. 9* play on the Wizards plus the points.

This game features the 32-19 Knicks at 22-33 Raptors. There are 2 Rare NBA Power Systems that apply to this game. First we want to play on road favorites of 4 or less with a total that is 178 or higher that scored 90 or more as a road dog of 4 or less and shot 45% or less, vs an opponent that scored 90 or less at home. These road teams are 10-0 straight up and ats. Next we note that home dogs like Toronto that shot 40% or less at home, vs an opponent that shot 35% or less on the road are 0-8 straight up and ats since 1995 losing by an average 13 points per game. The Knicks are off a 2 horrible losses, 1 of them to the Raptors and they have to have this one circled from their 92-88 home loss last week. The Knicks have shot 35% or less the last 2 games and are 18-8 vs losing teams, 4-1 with home loss revenge and 5-1 off a loss of 10 or more. Toronto is 6-20 vs winning teams and 0-4 straight up and ats as a home dog of 3 or less, they have lost 3 of the last 4 here to New York and are 2-8 in Division games. I look for the Knicks to dominate tonight making it a 9* play on the KNICKS TO WIN

This game features the 28-25 Celtics at the 25-29 Lakers. The season has been a Massive disappointment for both the Celtics and Lakers although the former had turned things around prior to the All-Star break with wins in of its final 9 games so while the rest may have been good, momentum may have been shot. The Celtics are playing in Denver on Tuesday so the situation for Wednesday is not easy. Boston has been decent this season when playing with no rest which is a surprise following its 8-13 ATS record in the second of back-to-back games last season. The Celtics are 5-6-2 ATS with no rest this season but breaking down the last two years shows a huge issue. Boston is a perfect 11-0 straight up when the second game of a back-to-back is at home but just 7-16 straight up when the second game is on the road while going 6-15-2 ATS in those games. The Celtics have lost both games this season when both have been on the road and they have not been close, losing those games by 15 and 22 points. The Lakers are 4 games under .500 and three games back in the playoff race in the Western Conference so they need to make something happen and fast. Boston led the first game this year by as many as 32 points so the Lakers will want return the favor here. The Celtics are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Los Angeles is 2-14 when listed as an underdog. Lakers will also be very motivated to win this game for Jerry Buss as know by everyone he loved to beat the Celtics and here is a great invest game for my clients put 200 Dimes on the home Lakers minus the points.

This game features the 28-24 Celtics at the 33-21 Nuggets. The Nuggets are certainly rested following the break since they didn't have an All-Star despite sitting in fifth place in the Western Conference and ranking third in the league with 105.1 points per game.

They may have been looking forward to some time off, however, since they followed a season-high nine-game winning streak by dropping three in a row.

Leading scorer Danilo Gallinari (illness) and Andre Iguodala (neck) missed the last two games, including a 119-108 loss at Brooklyn on Wednesday.

"Without Gallinari and Iguodala, we're down two of our better defenders. There's no question that Gallo and A.I. give us length and some experienced defensive-minded guys," coach George Karl said.

Gallinari is averaging 20.9 points over his last seven games.

Now with there top players back and revenge factor from the overtime loss to Celtics Nuggets will be ready to play. On the other side i think the Celtics are a tired team and i also think a look ahead to playing the Lakers might factor in here. Loving that the public is pounding Boston at a 73% clip yet the line is climbing. 200 Dimes on the Nuggets here.

70 DIME EXEC

This game features the 30-21 Bulls at the 27-24 Celtics. Boston has a cluster injury problem in its backcourt and has lost its edge after a road loss this past Monday to Charlotte, the worst team in the league. The Bulls are off a bad loss to San Antonio, but are 8-2 ATS following a non-cover. Chicago is stronger defensively than Boston and a better rebounding team. The Bulls have exploited these edges to defeat Boston in seven of the past nine meetings. Part of Chicago's dominance against the Celtics is because of its head coach, Tom Thibodeau. He knows the Celtics well having been their lead assistant coach before coming to Chicago. Already without Rajon Rondo, the Celtics lost backup guard Leandro Barbosa to a torn left ACL. Thibodeau will know how to take advantage of those injuries. The Bulls have covered 58 percent of their road games this season. They are 8-3 ATS the past 11 times they've been underdogs. Public is backing the Celtics at a 56% clip yet the line has gone from -2.5 to -1 im all over the Bulls here for 200 Dimes. CD

This game features the 39-12 Thunder and the 28-24 Jazz. The Jazz had won 10 of 11 home games before a 93-89 loss to Chicago on Friday, then took a 120-109 beating at Sacramento on Saturday.

Utah trailed by as many as 20 points and Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap were essentially rendered ineffective due to foul trouble, combining for only 22 points and 11 rebounds in less than 40 minutes. The duo averages a combined 32.3 points and 16.8 rebounds.

Their limited minutes also hurt Utah's interior defense, as the squad allowed a season-high 26 second-chance points.

The Jazz got a lift from Alec Burks' career-high 24 points off the bench, though it wasn't enough to overcome Sacramento's 51.8 percent shooting.

"It was a tough situation for Al and me when we are both trying to win a basketball game," Millsap said. "It happens. We just dropped two in a row. These last two games this week are important for us going into the (All-Star) break."

This game is alot more important for the Jazz then the Thunder and getting 5.5 points and playing at home is a gift as linesmakers over compensate for the powerful Thunder. Over 87% of wagers as i write this have come in on the Thunder making me love the Jazz all the more as the line is sticking to +5.5. Play 200 DIMES ON THE JAZZ + THE POINTS HERE.

This game features the 36-17 Clippers at teh 22-27 Sixers. The 76ers are home for the 12th time in their last 13 games. This wraps up their eight-game homestand. The Clippers are playing in their eighth consecutive road game. Philadelphia entered its current homestand dropping 10 of 13. But being home has revived the Sixers. They've gone 5-2 in their last seven games and are just three games out of a playoff spot. After this matchup, the Sixers play three of their next four on the road with the lone home game during this span coming against the world champion Heat. So this is a big game for the 76ers. The Clippers are healthy again, but this is a flat spot for them. Los Angeles is off an impressive 102-88 win against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden yesterday. Prior to that game, the Clippers lost to the Heat in Miami. Following this game, the Clippers return to sunny LA from the stormy East Coast to host Houston on Wednesday and then take on their most hated rival, the Lakers, on Thursday before All-Star break.So I don't see the Clippers having as much motivation as the 76ers for this matchup. The 76ers aren't at 100 percent, but they've stepped up their defensive game holding their past four opponents to an average of 76.3 points a game and 35.3 percent field goal shooting. Public is backing the road Clipps huge in this spot 78% of public bets are on them so we are riding the Sharp sided Sixers for 100 Dimes.

This game features the 33-18 Nuggets at 26-23 Celtics. Kudos to Boston for playing hard and winning 6 in a row after losing star point guard Rajon Rondo. But all but one of those victories occurred at home and four were against foes who were at least four games under .500. They beat the Clippers by two and Lakers during this span. The Clippers, though, were missing Chris Paul and the Lakers were minus Pau Gasol. The object of pointing this out isn't to disparage the Celtics, but illustrate that they are overvalued in this matchup. Denver is 15-2 in its last 17 games. The Nuggets are even hotter than Boston winning nine in a row. The Nuggets beat the Cavaliers,who have been playing well, in Cleveland last night. Denver, though, is 10-3 ATS the past 13 times when playing without rest, including 7-3 ATS this season. The Nuggets are playing with a chip on their shoulder after none of their players were chosen for the All-Star Game. Matchup-wise, the Nuggets have the point guards with Ty Lawson, who is playing at a high level averaging 19.1 points in his last 10 games, and veteran Andre Miller to take advantage of no Rondo and a deep frontcourt to take advantage of Boston's lack of rebounding. The Nuggets outscored the Cavaliers, 62-32, in the paint on Friday night. Boston has been outrebounded in six of its last eight games. The Celtics also have to deal with the mental distraction of a winter blizzard. The storm forced them to cancel practice on Saturday. The Nuggets deserve a 100 Dime play today fro my clients. Nuggets +2 100 Dimes.

100 DIMES

This game features the 28-23 Jazz at the 17-33 Kings. Last night, the Jazz lost at home to the Chicago Bulls, and now it has to travel to Sacramento to take on the rested Kings. I like Sacramento tonight, as Utah is an awful 5-28 ATS since 1993 away from home off a home loss the day before. Even worse for Utah: if it lost by single digits the previous game, then our 5-28 stat moves to 0-18 ATS! 62% of the public is backing the road Jazz Take Sacramento minus the points to win us 100 Dimes.

This game features the 29-20 Nets at the 13-35 Wizards. Washington has the second worst record in the NBA but it is no longer playing like it which has coincided with the return of John Wall to the lineup. The Wizards have won nine of their last 16 games which is just above average but when they came into this run with a 4-28 record, the run has been especially effective. Washington has been getting it done at home as it is 7-1 in its last eight games.The last victory came against the Knicks. The Wizards have playing so good here for so long, keeping the momentum going is the bigger factor. This has mostly coincided with the return of John Wall who missed 33 games and is now getting back to full strength. Brooklyn is coming off a win at Detroit in its last game as it was able to outscore the Pistons by seven points in the final quarter to win by three points. That victory coupled with the fact the Nets have the Spurs, Pacers and Nuggets on deck to play prior to the All-Star break makes this a very tough spot to focus. Focus has seemed to have been an issue of late as Brooklyn has not won back-to-back games since late January, going 0-3 in its last three games following a win. The Nets are 7-24-1 ATS in their last 32 road games against teams with a losing home record while the Wizards are 16-4-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a win. Look for our Diamond dog Wizards to win outrite with ease at home. 100 DIMES WIZARDS +1

This game features the 28-20 Nets at the 18-31 Pistons. This is a tough spot for the Nets and we catch a good line in the process. The Nets are coming off a home game against the Lakers on Tuesday and those high profile games often leads to a letdown next time out. Making matters even worse, the Tuesday game was the third straight high profile game as they had home games against Miami and Chicago prior to that. After going on a 10-1 run at the start of January, the Nets have cooled off by going 2-3 over their last five games. Brooklyn has been poor when playing with no rest, going 4-7 straight up and 3-8 ATS and this including going just 1-7 both straight up and against the number when the second of the back-to-back is on the road. It was definitely in a tough stretch as it played five games in seven nights so the day off coming into this one is big. The Pistons have been playing a lot better despite the recent struggles as they are 11-10 over their last 21 games since before Christmas. This includes an 8-5 record at home to even the mark at .500 for the season. Were also seeing some reverse line movement in this game and with the public placing 60% of the wagers on the road nets makes me love the home Pistons even more. 200 DIME PISTONS ML.

This game features the 24-23 Celtics at the 17-31 Raptors. Since losing Rondo for the season with a knee injury, the Celtics have stepped up to go 4-0 including big wins against the Heat and the Clippers. While the run have shown a lot of character for the rest of the team, all four of those games came at home. Boston now plays its first road game since then where it is 7-14 on the season including losses in thee straight and 13 of its last 17. This one sets up to start a run going the other way. The Raptors were able to win its first game since acquiring Rudy Gay but it gave it back in the second game, losing against Miami. The Raptors are 12-12 at home on the season and while they have been inconsistent, they have dropped back-to-back home games only three times. They should get a boost with the return of Andrea Bargnani as he has missed 26 games with an elbow injury. This is the second meeting this season and Toronto will be out for payback following an 18-point loss in the first meeting back in November in Boston. The home team has covered six straight meetings and the Raptors are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. I think the Celtics come back down to earth in its first road game in nearly two weeks. Making this a excellent investment for my clients at 200 Dimes. play on RAPTORS.

This game features the 25-21 Bucks at the 30-18 Nuggets. Bucks allowed 31 points in the fourth quarter Saturday but scored 28 of its own in a 107-98 home win over Orlando. The Bucks got contributions from across the board as they avoided a third straight loss.

Monta Ellis had 21 points and a season high-tying 11 assists, Brandon Jennings scored 20 and Larry Sanders added 17 points, 13 rebounds and six blocked shots. Ersan Ilyasova had 16 points and eight rebounds and reserve Mike Dunleavy scored 11, hitting three of four 3-pointers.

"Everybody moved the ball well. I thought we just had a nice little rhythm going," coach Jim Boylan said. "Sometimes when we play with that kind of ease, we can get a little distracted and lose a little focus and we did on a couple of occasions."

The Bucks can ill afford to have down moments in Denver, where they are 9-36 all-time including playoffs. Milwaukee has lost four in a row overall to the Nuggets.

"We've just got to play our game," Ellis said. "Go in there with a lot of intensity, be aggressive and hopefully come out with a win."

This game comes down to who wants it more and i believe 7 points to the Bucks is a gift as the Nuggets like to play down to their competition. 78% of public money is backing the Nuggets here giving us even more value on this barking dog. 100 Dimes Bucks +7

This game features the 11-35 Bobcats at the 30-14 Heat. This is a rest stop for the Heat. The Heat just concluded a four-game, 10-day road trip going hard in the fourth quarter to beat Toronto on Sunday. The Heat are 2-8 ATS following a victory. Their concentration and focus figures to be off after being away from home this long and going against such an easy opponent. This marks Miami's third game in four days. The Heat actually delayed their flight home from Toronto on Sunday in order to watch the Super Bowl. The Heat host the Rockets on Wednesday, the Clippers on Friday and Lakers on Sunday. Those are all home marquee matchups for the Heat, who don't want to exert much energy in dispatching the Bobcats. Charlotte does get decent production from its backcourt. The Bobcats are weak up front, but Miami's weakness is rebounding. The Bobcats aren't likely to have Michael Kidd-Gilchrist for this game, but power forward Byron Mullins is expected to play for the first time since spraining his ankle in late December. Like most opponents, the Bobcats should be motivated to play against LeBron James and the defending world champions. The public is pounding the Heat at a rate of 75% giving us value in the Bobcats. Take Charlotte +13 for 100 dimes.
