After dismal season and their play off hopes, flushed, the NY Knicks HC Hornacek with Phil Russell's blessings will be giving his young players more minutes. In tonight's encounter with cross town rivals the Brooklyn Nets, I expect the bench will see alot of work, which may not be a bad thing, but not enough of a good thing, for a cover .. It must also be noted  the Knicks despite a victory last time out vs the Pacers have not won two in row since Dec 22. Considering the Nets recent competitive play I feel comfortable recommending we take the points here.  

Brooklyn defeated the Knicks at home on March 12th 120-112 in a game that was not as close as the score might indicate.

NEW YORK is 4-15 ATS L/19 after trailing their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half over the last few seasons.NEW YORK is 6-19 ATS L/25  in a home game where the total is 220 to 229.5.The Nets are shooting .381 from 3-point range in their 10 games since the All-Star break, compared to .340 prior to the break.

Utah is a team on the rise, but Cleveland now with an eye on repeating as NBA Champs will ready to send a message to their upstart foes in this tilt in front of their own fans. With the Jazz on tired legs with this being their 3rd game in 4 days, their ability to run and gun will be dimisnhed greatly. With that said,  Im betting on the Cavaliers getting an edge and bringing down the hammer as the game progresses.

UTAH is 1-8 ATS  as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season losing SU by an average of 8.7 ppg .CLEVELAND is 9-1 ATS in home games off a win against a division rival over the last 2 seasons which happened in a route of the Pistons last time out. UTAH is 7-17 ATS when playing their 3rd game in 4 days this season and 13-28 ATS L/41 as a road underdog. Note: The Jazz won the only meeting bwtween the two teams this season in Utah 100-92 but have lost their L/4 visits to Cleveland.

According to my own power rankings Villanova is the best team in the country. Certain teams matchup well against Villanova , ie ( Seton Hall and Butler) because of systems, and player to player matchups, but according to my own data, Creighton is not one of these teams. Thus I am expecting a conclusive victory here today for Villanova and subsequent cover. Villanova took out Creighton by 79-63 count back on Feb 25 and with that said, look for a rinse and repeat performance.

The Houston Rockets are coming off a huge emotional win vs the Cleveland Cavaliers last time out by a score of 117-112. Im betting that their energy levels will  now be depleted because of that huge effort. Yes, even though the team and its key players are saying all the right things about be prepared to stay focused in their follow up affair vs the lowly Lakers, it will still be a difficult task to play a complete game. I know the Lakers do not inspire bettors, but if there was ever a time, players had a cahnce to improve their roster positions for next season, its against competition like this, and I expect the young Lakers will be primed to play with enthisiasm and grit.

I have paid alot of attention to the Jazz of late and have gotten a good feel for a side that I'm betting will be a dark horse team when and if they reach the play offs. Here today against a wishy washy Motown side, I believe they have systems and player to player matchup edge, that makes them solid road favorites. Im not basing this selection on how miserable the Pistons looked last night in a lopsided loss in Cleveland but as mentioned above the  SU matchup defeciencies against this type of agressive team. The Pistons were smashed in the first meeting this year 110-77 on Jan. 13 by the Jazz and a while Im not expecting that lopsided type of score again , I do expect the Jazz to cover comfortably.

Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central.Pistons are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing with no rest.Jazz are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Detroit.

The Indiana Pacers have alternated wins and losses in their L/10 games, and are off a loss last night against a hungry and redemption minded NYK team.  I know the the Pacers  are  not easily handicapped and wildly inconsistent,  hot and cold team , but they still have a decent talent base and must not be underestmated   .  With that said, onight against a Charlotte team that has performed inadequately for an extended time , I feel they have the edge, especially here on their own home floor. (After starting the year 19-14, Charlotte is 10-24 since). Since defeating the Pacers on March 6, the Hornets lost three of their last four games, and now in revenge mode Im betting on the Pacers are primed to even the score. It must be noted tha the Hornets  have allowed 118 points per game in their last six losses, and that their lack of defense will be their demise again.

CHARLOTTE is 2-13 ATS (after playing 2 consecutive home games this season .INDIANA is 12-3 ATS  in a home game where the total is 200 to 209.5 this season.Indiana's HC McMillan is 28-12 ATS off an upset loss as a road favorite in all games , which was the case last night in NY vs the Knicks as 3 point road favorites.

KansasState ater a medicore Big 12 campaign (8-10) , pulled off an upset in the opening round of their conference tournament against Baylor and than lost to West Virginia by just 1 point in the 2nd round. Those were exhausting affairs, which Im betting effects their performance here against their hosts Wake Forest. KANSAS ST is 1-8 ATS L/9 in road games after playing 2 consecutive games as an underdog . The Deacons are 19-13, having won four of their last five conference games. After a heart-breaking home loss to Duke on Feb. 18, they reeled off successive victories over Pitt, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Boston College, before losing in the ACC tournament. From  a matchup and systems  perspective I really like the Deacons chances today and recommend we take them in this spot.    WAKE FOREST is 12-3 ATS  in road games after 1 or more consecutive losses.KState has not fared well against teams like Wake Forest in the recent past. KANSAS ST is 2-10 ATS L/12 versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season after 15+ games dating back to last season losing SU by an average of 9.1 ppg.

In the eight games since Cousins was traded to the Pelicans   from the    Sacramento Kings, the Pelicans have won just twice. To me it's the same old thing with the talented Cousins. He has yet to make a team better, despite of his expansive talents and right now their seems to be no real chemsitry between himself and  Anthony Davis another super star. HC Gentry actually sat Cousins in the final 17 minutes of their L/game a win vs Charlotte as road dogs, as the team was playing better without him on the floor. Its aslo must  be noted by prognosticators that  New Orleans lacks the perimeter shooting necessary to force defenses to bother leaving the paint. Considering these factors, they are over rated by the linesmakers here, and I feel they do not matchup well against todays visitors the Portland Blazers, a team that has been playing some of their best hoops of season recently, winning 5 of their L/6 with one loss coming by just 1 contested point. 

NEW ORLEANS is 16-28 ATS L/44 as a favorite and 7-19 ATS  off an upset win as a road underdog. Portland is 7-2 SU/ATS L/9 in this series.

 NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Pelicans - off a road win, a lower tier  team, winning 25% to 40% of their games on the season are a bankroll depleting 26-62 ATS for a go against conversion rate of 71% for bettors.

Phil Russell did not look amused when he watched his NY Knicks take on an exhausted Brooklyn Nets on Sunday in a 120-112 loss. You have to think he lit into the team after that tilt. What made the situation so intolerable is that the Nets  just finished a 9 game road trip and were on tired legs. That victory ended the Nets  16 game home losing streak. It was a truely a pathetic effort by the Knciks that left many of their fans completely frustrated. I know the Knicks had also been a short road trip, spanning three  games, but those were fairly close to home( Orlando, Milwaukee, Detroit), and there were no excuses for that kind of sleepy effort. Now embarrassed, I expect the core of Knicks to be ready for a bounce back effort vs a Pacers team that has alternated wins followed by losses during a current 9 game stretch. Prior to this run Indiana had lost 6 straight and remain wildly inconsistent and are far from solid road favs..

INDIANA is 5-14 ATS L/19 in road games after 1 or more consecutive wins this season.NEW YORK is 13-2 ATS L/15 in home games after a division game dating back to last season.

From a analytical viewpoint the NBA and most sports leagues that we can bet on ,  need a handicapper to  focus his attention in on core matchup situations , and not be swayed by momentum ebbs and flows which are common place in the world of competetive sports.  Especially in a game like this where both teams are playing at the proverbial oppoiste end of the performance spectrum.

Milwaukee has won six in a row, while Memphis has lost five in a row. One side is comfortable and playing well , while one side is struggling and  desperate for wins. With that said, as we all know all good and bad things must eventually come to and end. Yes, I know theirs an old saying that says go with the flow, but common sense tells us all waves eventually crash on the beach. It must also be noted that Memphis has had decent pedigree over the last few seasons, and have shown themselves to be a solid team with quality player personel and hardcore work ethic. Meanwhile,  the Bucks have shown wild inconsistencies and despite of their current run are a sub.500 team that is short handed, with Jabari Parker, and Micheal Beasley out. The Grizzlies are also playing this game in revenge mode for a loss they suffered back in November to the Bucks by a 106-96 count, and will be very primed to perform.  I suppose by now you can see where Im going with todays analysis and reasoning for taking the home team. By the way it looks like the linesmakers agree with my assessments , as Memphis opened as favorites. 

 This from a league wide trends data base: NBA Home teams like Memphis - revenging a road loss vs opponent of 10 points or more, off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite like the Grizzlies are 77-37 ATS  for a 68 % conversion rate for bettors.

MILWAUKEE is 6-19 ATS L/25 after having won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games.Bucks are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

The very young Phoenix Suns are playing some decent basketball of late, but still have a long way to go for respectiability status in the NBA. Meanwhile, the visiting Portland Trailblazers, despite of having  their 4 game losing streak snapped last night in OT by a 125-124 score vs a excellent Washington Wizards side, are now in top form. Note: The shot that sunk the Blazers last night, showed a video replay  on the arena scoreboard which suggested the  Wizards Morris stepped  out of bounds before hitting the game-winner with four-tenths of a second remaining. However, the play was not reviewable by rule.With that said, and now with a chip on their shoulders  I'm betting after  being robbed and competing at a high level vs the Wizards last night, this Blazers team comes out firing on all cylinders.

NBA Road favorites like the Blazers - with a winning percentage of between 40-49% on the season, on Sunday games are 32-8 ATS L/40 for a 80% conversion rates for bettors.

Meanwhile, Kentucky took a 5 point win against Alabama in the semi final round, coming from behind for the win.

Alabama's player to player matchup systems gave Kentucky some problems, but Im betting Arkansas won't have the same edges and will end up on the wrong side of a lopsided score vs what is a very motivated Wildcats squad.Calapari has made no bones, about his team needing to be more aggressive and get out to leads. I also  know Arkansas has plans on being physical here today, but that will just mtovate a team filled with NBA talent to play harder.

The Grizzlies have been in a slump and have lost 5 of their L/7 overall, including a loss on Monday vs lowly Brooklyn  that was described by their coach, as the lowest point of their season. Now with a few days of rest to contemplate their current state, I expect the feisty Grizzlies to come out on fire tonight vs a Clippers side, that cannot find their stride, even though they are fully healthy. After watching the Clippers struggle last night vs the Minnesota Timberwolves in a loss, its become obvious to me  that there are underlying systematic problems surrounding the Clippers, that must be resolved. Until those issues are successfully addressed  their fade material in spots like this, where the team is exhausted as they play their 8th game in 14 days. LA CLIPPERS are 8-18 ATS  in road games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days.MEMPHIS is 21-9 ATS after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games.

 The Miami Fl Hurricanes are one of four ACC teams to beat the N.Carolin a  Tar Heels this season, suffering their worst loss all year to Miami, losing by 15 points. Needless to say Miami Fl physical defensive play, is not easiy to deal with and Im betting taken the points will be golden in this tourney game. After N.Carolina played their most grueling emotionally charged game of the year, in last trip to the hardwood, against Duke, pulling away with less than 2 min left to secure the 90-83 win, Im betting they come into this Tournament tilt in a emotional let down situation at the worst possible time, and could find the sledding very tough in this spot vs a Miami Fl side that can work hard to exhaust them.

ACC Conference Tournament - Second Round - Brooklyn, NY

Just four days after meeting in both teams' regular-season finale in Charlottesville, No. 14 seed Pittsburgh will battle No. 6 seed Virginia in the second round of the ACC tournament on Wednesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Virginia dominated the Panthers in that game winning by a 67-42 count and now at under 10 point favorites are a very good bet to dominate again.The Panthers will have just over 24 hours of rest and now on tired legs after barely getting by GTech and will now will find it very difficult to deal with a physical  Cavaliers defense that has allowed a total of  just 85 (42.5) points in their last two wins over North Carolina and Pitt. PITTSBURGH is 4-15 ATS  off a win against a conference rival.PITTSBURGH is 2-9 ATS versus good defensive teams - allowing 64 or less points/game dating back to last season losing SU by an average of 14 ppg. PITTSBURGH is 0-7 ATS L/7 in March games over the last 2 seasons.

The Spurs enter this tilt against the Sacramento Kings having  won eight straight games, including Monday's 112-110 victory over Houston in San Antonio. That game against Rockets was hard fought, and followed up another exhausting affair vs the Minnesota Timberwolves, a contest that saw the Spurs come from behind in win in OT. Now still tired , and in an emotional letdown situation I expect the Spurs to not be as aggressive tonight, and I also won't be surprised if HC Popovich rests his stars during long stretches of this game, which gives the Kings an edge covering here vs a huge DD line. Yes, I know Sacramento has lost 5 straight, but after a lengthy adjustment period, playing without DeMarucs Cousins , this team Im betting will look a little more cohesive vs  a Spurs side that despite of being one of the best in the league, have failed to cover 4 straight games.. Also the Kings have had some ATS success of late, when in a tail spin, as is evident by a 14-4 ATS mark  after failing to cover 4 of their last 5 against the spread and are  4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Kings are also 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in San Antonio.

New Orleans despite of the addition of DeMarcus Cousins continues to struggle, losing 5 of their L/7 games. For at the least the moment, Cousins and the Pelicans other star Anthony Davis are not showing any chemistry, and if anything look even less cohesive as  a team. In my humble opinion, Cousins despite of his vast talents, rarely has made a team better in his  travels around the league, and if anything has made them into inconsistent opponents for all comers. Cousins has become famous for not being a team player, and his circus like outbursts on and off the court. This kind of unwanted attention, makes for a bad atmosphere, and definitely not a winning one. With that said, I am recommending we back a hard working, Raptors side, that has won 5 of their L/7 and recently took out one of the leagues better teams the Washington Wizards on their own home floor.Toronto has won 11 of the last 14 meetings between the teams and the three most recent meetings and are my choice again.

TORONTO is 19-7 ATS L/26  vs. poor rebounding teams like the Pelicans  - outrebounded by opponents by 3+ per game.

The Timberwolves are 6-4 in their past 10 games and are a team on the rise. However, tonight against a talented and experienced foe the LA Clippers, looking for pay back for a 104-101 loss at home earlier this season  Im betting they are at a disadvantage. The Clippers are of two straight wins vs the Bulls and Celtics and are now back into top form with a lineup that is finally fully healthy.

The Hawks enter into this game in a slump and  have lost three in a row and six of their past eight games, and are far from solid favorites , even against the visiting Brooklyn Nets. Meanwhile, the Brooklyn Nets are currently playing some of their best, basketball of the season, winning 2 of their L/4 road games, and showing some nastiness and grit along the way, which makes them hard to deal with, because of their nothing to lose attitude. With Atlanta extremely tired playing their 8th game in 14 nights, I expect a rejuvenated looking Brooklyn team, to get us a cover.

ATLANTA is 0-8 ATS L/8 in home games after failing to cover 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread this season.Hawks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest.Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Orlando is  making a habit of blowing leads. Orlando lost 113-105 at the Amway Center on Monday after a DD lead to the NY Knicks. This is truly a doctor jekyll and mr hyde, team , with a lack of closing abilities. I don;t know if its a lack confidence or coaching inefficiencies , but what ever it is, they are a side that  are on my late season fade list, especially in games the  lines-makers expect to be a close. Meanwhile, the Bulls, despite of faltering of late, and also blowing leads still have some big time players like Butler that can stand tall in key situations and deliver key shots and stops. The Bulls beat Orlando 100-92 here in the not so Magic Kingdom, back on Jan 24, and now Im betting on similar result tonight. Vogel is 2-11 ATS L/13 at home when the line is +3 to -3 as the coach of the Magic.ORLANDO is 10-20 ATS  in home games versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season

The postseason is something the young  Lakers are not even thinking about , as they enter this game against their hosts Dallas with a 19-44  SU record and are  on a current seven-game losing streak.

 The Detroit Pistons are in position to qualify for the Eastern Conference playoffs if they get some key victories down the stretch. With that said, the Pistons chances of a post season appearance become much stronger if they can procure victories during the next two games. The first and obviously most important game comes tonight vs the Chicago Bulls a team that lost to the  Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night while scoring just 30 points in the second half. With revenge on board for a 113-82 loss to the Bulls back in December I expect the Pistons to be very focused. It must be noted that Motown has won and covered 4 straight with revenge for a 30 point or more loss.

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat just played each other Saturday with the Heat winning by a lopsided 120-92 beat-down. Cleveland was without LeBron James and Kyrie Irving as well as J.R. Smith and Kevin Love who are still recovering from injuries. In that above mentioned game, alot of feelings got hurt in a physical affair, and tempers flared and now many are expecting the Cavaliers to be out looking for pay back, behind super star LeBron James. Because of the obvious scenario that is expected to play out, I now feel the line is bloated, and have faith in the Heats ability to not go down without a fight , and make a game of this. 

MIAMI is 12-3 ATS off a home win this season.MIAMI is 17-4 ATS L/24 versus teams who make 6 or more 3 point shots/game and is 8-0 ATS L/8 versus good shooting teams like Cleveland - making 46% or more of their shots.

The Suns are off two consecutive top tier performances  , thanks to a reserve group that has performed at a hight level. The Suns smashed the Charlotte Hornets 120-103 and the  Oklahoma City Thunder 118-111 on Thursday and Friday. Now with the momentum of those wins behind them, I expect they will be confident enough to play a talented Celtics crew very tough tonight in the desert. Yes, the Celtics are off two straight wins, with the first one coming at home vs the Cleveland Cavaliers. The second win came on the road after the team flew West to the west coast to play the Lakers, as they were still feeling good after their above mentioned win vs the Cavs. But as alot of us know, jet lag has a delay effect, and now I expect the Celtics to be on tired legs in this spot and susceptible to being upset. I know the Suns are also a little tired playing, their 3rd game in 4 nights, but they are one of the leagues better conditioned teams as is evident by HC Watson Suns  going  17-6 ATS L/23 when playing their 3rd game in 4 days . PHOENIX is  also 15-6 ATS  in non-conference games this season.

Atlanta in the above mentioned loss were down by 25 points in the second half against the Cavaliers but came back to trim the margin to a point late in the game it showed how talented they were , but also highlighted a lack of consistency, something that has plagued this team this season. However, their opponents this afternoon the Pacers are even more volatile and inconsistent losing 8 of their L/10 overall and especially fragile on the road were they own a sub par 10-20 road record and are just 12-18 ATS. With that said, I expect home court advantage to be golden in this spot.

This is a game for causal fans that could be considered perplexing, because of both sides current form.   One side the struggling Clippers  have lost 4 of their L/5 , including last night as favorites, and now go against another side the Chicago Bulls who are in top form and off a surprising upset win vs the leagues top team the Golden State Warriors. One side the Clippers, are desperate for a win, and the other , the Bulls are in an emotional let down scenario, after the above mentioned upset. So despite of current form, Im going to recommend we back the desperate road side, as Im betting  they will take advantage of a emotionally drained opponent. The Clippers won the first game 102-95 on Nov. 19 at Staples Center behind a double-double from Griffin and Im betting he will be one of the key catalysts again in a Clippers cover.

However, all three came at home, and two came against the lowly Lakers and Pelicans, with the third coming by 3 points (109-106) vs an exhausted and road weary Utah Jazz that had played 3 away games in 4 nights.

Despite of both teams current records, Portland still has a chance at a play off appearance, and will be very prepared to perform here at home and must not be underestimated, as is obvious by the lines-makers opening line on this tilt.

Both these teams are not playing winning hoops a the moment, with TCU losing 5 straight and KState losing 5 of their L/6 overall. With both sides very hungry for a win, Im expecting a hard fought affair, with the points eventually proving golden. I know TCU upset Kansas State on the road back on Feb 1, but with revenge on board, Im expecting KState to leave everything on the floor, in a payback scenario. TCU is 6-15 ATS L/21 versus good shooting teams - making 45% or more of their shots after 15+ games dating back to last season and 8-20 ATS L/28 when playing against a team with a winning record after 15 or more games.KANSAS ST is 12-3 ATS L/15 in a road game where the total is 130 to 139.5 .

The Boston Celtics go head to head with the defending NBA champion the Cleveland Cavaliers this Wednesday night. You can bet they will be primed and ready to perform , especially here at home at the TD Garden in front of their home town fans.  I know the Celtics looked bad in a lopsided 114-98 loss to the Hawks last time out, but that is all the more reason for a concerted bounce back effort here. With Cleveland super star LeBron James, still feeling the effects of a recent strep throat infection, the Cavs could be at a bit of disadvantage, especailly with Kevin Love injured and on the side lines.Cleveland did defeat Boston 124-118 at home back on Dec 29, but now with revenge on board I feel we will see the best of a Celtics side, that looked good and matched up well vs the Cavaliers despite of losing the above mentioned meeting. It must also be noted NBA Home underdogs like the Celtics - revenging a road loss vs opponent, off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite are 50-19 ATS dating back 21 seasons.

CLEVELAND is 0-8 ATS  in road games after playing 2 consecutive home games this season, which they just did.

The NY Knicks enter into this game against the Orlando Magic off a hard fought , heart breaking 92-91  loss last night to the Toronto Raptors. The Knicks had led by as many as 17 points before falling apart as the game progressed. However despite of their deflating effort,  NYK still had a chance to win it with a wide open buzzer beater from C Anthony, that he missed. Now in an emotional letdown situation, and on tired legs I expect their hosts the Orlando Magic have the edge . The Magic are a side that has looked rejuvenated since the All-Star break, easily  running down  the Hawks 105-86 in the team's last game Saturday. With the Knicks still trying to figure out which direction the team will take going forward, they look, at least to me like fade material in spots like this vs a Orlando team that matched up well against them in a recent meeting in January in NY winning by  a 115-103 count as road dogs.

While, I know it will be difficult for Arkansas to continue their win streak, I'm betting they won't go down easily and get us the cover.  ARKANSAS is 24-14 ATS L/48 when playing against a team with a winning record, while FLORIDA is 1-10 ATS  in home games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game.FLORIDA is 3-13 ATS L/16 after 2 straight games with 9 or less offensive rebounds .

The Sixers lost 110-109 heart breaker on Saturday night to the New York Knicks, as Carmelo Anthony nailed a baseline jumper with three-tenths of a second remaining . The Sixers despite of key injuries to leading scorer Joel Embiid, have won 4 of their L/6 and have looked competitive, with the core of the team looking cohesive and showing positive chemistry. Meanwhile, Golden State with a 49-9 SU record, and a front runner for the NBA championship, come into the City of Brotherly love installed a almost 14 point road favorites. With that said, I know its not easy betting against the Warriors, but they are not infallible vs the spread, as is evident by a overall 28-28 ATS record a sub .500 -13-15 away ATS record. With the young Sixers playing with pride, and a trend that dates back to last season showing they are 12-0 ATS L/12 vs explosive offensive teams scoring 106+ ppg , in the second half of the season , Im recommending we take the points here.

Boston took a 113 -109 win on Jan 30th at home and Im betting they have the edge again here on the road.

The Washington Wizards entered the all star break as the  Eastern Conference's hottest team , but had their flow interrupted in their  first game after the All-Star break as they lost, allowing 120 points to the 26th- ranked scoring offense in the NBA. Meanwhile, The Jazz had a good game, by winning  Friday in Milwaukee thanks to their pick-and-roll scheme, which Im betting will give the Wizards alot of problems this Sunday. Washington got some big headaches coming as they face the stingiest defense in the league. Utah allows 95.7 points per game which I am betting will be the catalyst behind a Jazz cover.

This gives credence to a multitude of covering situations and furthermore from a mathematical standpoint we have value taking points. 

LA LAKERS are 17-4 ATS L/21  versus good passing teams, averaging 23 assists/game or more - in the  2nd half of the season over the last few seasons and 17-6 ATS L/23 versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more of their shots.

The Pelicans enter into this game with the newly acquired DeMarcus Cousins on the roster, but  things did not pan out as expected in his first trip to the hardwood for Bayou crew, in a lopsided loss to the Rockets . From my perspective there seems to be no chemistry between himself and Anthony Davis, at least for now ,which makes the Pelicans fade material for me here tonight in Dallas. Meanwhile, the Mavericks, have steadily improved this season after a slow start, and have now covered 13 of their 18 entering the all star break, and have covered 7 of 8 games when favored overall this season.

From a league wide NBA trends database:  NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Mavericks - an average team (+/- 3 PPG diff.) against a poor team (-3 to -7 PPG diff.) after 42+ games are 71-39 ATS over the L/5 seasons for a 65% conversion rate for betting backers.

The Atlanta Hawks are ranked fairly high on my power rankings lists  compared to many others I have seen, and  I feel we have great value backing them tonight vs a young and less than cohesive Orlando Magic side that  recently traded away top tier talent Serge Ibaka. I know the Hawks looked horrid last night vs the Miami Heat in  108-90 setback, but after that ugly loss, you can bet this group will now be motivated for redemption against a side the Hawks have demolished in recent battles,  winning the  last two meetings by a combined 46 points.

NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 like the Hawks - off an upset loss as a home favorite, extremely well rested team - playing 3 or less games in 10 days are a bankroll expanding 43-19 ATS dating back 21 seasons for a close to 70% conversion rate for betting backers.

With the  return of Chris Paul expected tonight, the Los Angeles Clippers expect to be very competitive and  to get back on the winning track when the play the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night at Staples Center. Even if Paul does not play I like the Clippers chances at covering with the personnel they now have avaliable. Although the Spurs remain one of the league's top tier clubs, they have encountered problems with the Clippers as is evident by San Antonio having lost both of this season's previous meetings against Los Angeles. In the most recent confrontation  on Dec. 18, the Spurs were handed a 106-101 road defeat . The Clippers also pounded the Spurs 116-92 on Nov. 5 at San Antonio.

Serge Ibaka will make his Toronto Raptors debut Friday night vs the  Boston Celtics at the Air Canada Centre.  The Raptors after losing , 11 of their last 16 games  needed to make a change.

Toronto also expects forward Patrick Patterson to return Friday from a bruised left knee, a player that is a important cog in their teams future and current chemistry.Toronto has won two of three games between the teams this season with the lone loss coming in OT, and matchup well against the Celtics. There is no doubt in my mind that the Raptors are a top tier team despite of their struggles and must be respected here on their own home court. TORONTO is 7-0 ATS when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) this season and is 10-2 ATS  vs. division opponents this season.Celtics are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic.Celtics are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Golden State   smashed the Clippers in a  46-point humiliation on Jan. 28  here in Oakland and another lopsided finish is what Im expecting tonight. 

GOLDEN STATE in 20 games this season  versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 36% or more  of their attempts are 14-6 ATS with the average margin SU win coming by 18 ppg.

No. 5 UCLA has crashed and burned at Arizona State twice in the last four seasons, including a two-point loss. With that said, it must be noted that Arizona State is the type of team, that can hand around against explosive UCLA, as they sport,   four guards,  which combats its lack of size with perimeter scoring. The Sun Devils are averaging 9.8 3-pointers, and with 273 threes and when in rhythm can be very effective.UCLA is 10-21 ATS  L/31 versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game like Arizona State.UCLA is 11-22 ATS L/33  against conference opponents.

I am going to start off by saying I am not a big DeMarcus Cousins fan. It is not that the Pelicans new acquisition Cousins isn't extremely talented, but that he has problems with harnessing his ego and the so called proverbial  demons that haunt him. He has proven my theory in spades during his tumultuous  NBA career . But now despite of that I expect he will for at least tonight Cousins come out on fire with his new  teammate NBA  all star Anthony Davis and leave everything on the floor for what I expect will be a Pelicans cover .  Note: New Orleans also have a revenge on board for a 122-100 beat down at Houston earlier this season, which is favorable from a trends perspective that shows, as the Pelicans are 10-0-1 ATS in 11 previous same season revenge scenarios for a 20 point loss or more vs an opponent with a .666 win % or better like the Rockets.
