Alot has changed in San Antonio, as they are now showing a lot of defensive holes and deficiencies. Popovich's team has seen the last two opponents combine to make 40 3-pointers in 95 attempts and they are off a ugly 128-89 loss to the Minnesota Wolves last time out. Im betting their fortunes wont get much better tonight vs a Portland side,  that shot 53.6 percent while defeating the Spurs 121-108 at home on Oct. 20, showing their ability to matchup well vs the Spurs. I know the Spurs need to desperately bounce back, but like Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones have said before, You don't always get what you want. 

PORTLAND is 36-21 ATS  after playing 2 consecutive home games over the last 3 seasons.

Spurs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.Spurs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 vs. Western Conference.Spurs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

The LA Clippers are a red hot 9-1 L/10 behind a balanced team effort, but their hosts Dallas are more than capable of cooling them off. I know the Mavs looked tired last time out, in a 114-103  road loss to the Lakers but now home again and on a couple of days rest should be more than ready to run and gun with the Clippers tonight, and notch a win and cover for us in this spot. DALLAS is 18-5 ATS  after a loss by 10 points or more over the last 2 seasons and over have covered 11 of their L/16 and have played their best basketball at home where they sport a 8-2 SU/ATS record.

The Clippers come at you in waves both from the starters and the bench  averaging 117.5 points per game, fourth in the league, and have been held to fewer than 100 only once. Im betting they force the Mavericks into a fast paced game via their 9th ranked pace. It must also be noted that the Clippers defence ranks 22nd in the NBA allowing 112+ ppg and Dallas behind an offence that averages more than 115 ppg at home should be successful converting against  their soft defence regularly tonight. Everything is pointing to this being a high scoring affair.

LA CLIPPERS are 8-1 OVER  after a combined score of 235 points or more this season with a combined average score of 233.3 ppg scored.

Connecticut has been running of gunning of late, vs lower tier teams, but still bases its success on their ability to play top tier defence. Here today against much better opposition in Arizona Im expecting a more pronounced defensive effort. Meanwhile, Arizona is now a defence first team, and have allowed only one team to score more than 73 points against them( Gonzaga) and have held 4 of their 7 opponents to not exceed the 66 points plateau. With that said, today Im betting on a combined score that stays on the low side of the total.

This is now a much better defensive team, and tonight against another top tier defensive team, the Boston Celtics  ranked 2nd overall in defensive efficiency (104)  in the league and 4th in ppg allowed 103.9 Im expecting a combined score that remains on the low side of the Total .

Delaware has a very talented recruiting class, that will get better as the season progresses. One key cog is Anderson, who never lost a regular season or district game during his high school career at St. John Neumann.

Yes, he is coming off a season ending injury last season, but he's fresher than ever and a real treat to watch.The team is off to a 5-2 start this season and Anderson is certainly doing his part.

My power rankings make the LA Clippers the superior side in this matchup even though they are in the visitors role. The Clippers have won 11 straight games in this series and Im betting nothing changes tonight.

Nearly all of the team's games have been close losing by three points or less to both Tulsa and Howard, and falling to Arkansas Pin Bluff in Triple OT.The Highlanders  are primo from  downtown this season as their .350 3pt shooting percentage ranks 3rd in the Big West and eight different  players have hit from the land of the trey.

These two teams are explosive offensively to say the least. The Raptors rank 3rd in offensive output in the league averaging 117 ppg and 2nd in offensive efficiency, behind the 11th fastest pace. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors, rank 6th in  offence averaging 116 ppg and 3rd in offensive efficiency, behind the leagues 15th ranked pace .  there outputs and pace were slowed for a while as they got used to playing with super star Curry, but now their picking up their speed and play Dubs ball. The Warriors do have some key injuries with Draymond Green and Step curry, out, but lately the team is looking more cohesive,  and playing pretty good attack orientated ball , scoring 125,117,116 in consecutive games and will have no choice but to push the ball up court quickly vs a dangerous quick strike or be blown off the court.The Raptors have lost eight consecutive meetings with the Warriors, and knowing this Im betting they will be all business and ready to really lay down beating, and like I said above, the Warriors will have to respond. This will make Im betting for a high scoring affair that goes over this offered number.

Additionally, the Blazers rank 56th in the nation in turnovers forced (16.67) and 64th in steals per game (8.2).Rebounding has been another big time component of the team's game, out-rebounding its opponents by a margin of 6.5, good for 61st in the NCAA. The Blazers have also been good on the offensive glass with 15.0 boards per contest, ranked 31st nationally and Im betting this will be key difference maker tonight.

Dartmouth (3-3) l is a  up-tempo team, while Marist (1-4) plays a more physical slow down brand of hoops. Dartmouth can launch threes and score in bunches, but the Foxes are not easily scored on, and behind one of the lowest paces in all of college hoops and mess with the flow of a team like Big Green. Despite of the Foxes negative record they must be respected as three of those losses were by single-digits .  It must also be mentioned that  pundits believe this will be a mid to upper tier team Marist  this year and they get my support here today.

My own projections make Kentucky 29+ point favourites vs 0-7  Monmouth, thus giving us value with laying 24 points here . Monmouth have lost 6 of their 7 games this season, by DDs, and are very over matched according to my power rankings, with a less than 40% chances for a cover. HC Calipari of the Wildcats has also made sure his team is not overlooking their opponents tonight. QUOTE:“They have nothing to lose,” Calipari said of a Monmouth team who played a close game with West Virginia just a few weeks ago. “They play fast; they play around their post player.” END QUOTE:Calipari went on to say if the Cats don’t play defense, Monmouth could beat them.

I have watching this Totals number for over night action and now this morning and  Im ready to act and recommend we take an under stance. Washington stayed at home and defeated the Houston Rockets, 135-131, in overtime Monday night. At the same time New Orleans was struggling in a 124-107 home loss to the Boston Celtics. Both need to correct deficient defensive issues , and both are working hard to do so especially  the Pelicans HC Gentry, who has finally realized  running and gunning out of the gate has been a catastrophe for a team that has lost 4 straight. The Pelicans have allowed an average of 36.3 first-quarter points in the last three games. HC Gentry response is as follows: "If you do that," Gentry said, "more than likely you're going to be playing uphill for the other 36 minutes. We've got to get off to better starts so that when we do go on a run, we're creating separation and not just pulling even." END QUOTE. Look for New Orleans to be more methodical in the first quarter tonight, and start this game concentrating on playing better D in transition, which will result in a lower scoring game overall than many might expect.

Both UTA and TU will be looking to stop two-game losing streaks as the Mavericks are coming off setbacks at Indiana and Arkansas – both teams receiving votes in the national polls and battle hardened and ready to compete here.UTA has posted some solid early-season showings as the revamped Mavs already own victories over perennially-strong mid-major Northern Iowa and a UC Davis team which returns four starters from a Big West Regular Season Championship and NIT appearance and more than capable of hanging around here and cashing a ticket. 

TX-ARLINGTON is 15-5 ATS  versus slow-down teams averaging 53 or less shots/game and is 22-11 ATS versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game over the last 3 seasons.   TX-ARLINGTON is 10-1 ATS after allowing 75 points or more 2 straight games over the last 3 seasons and is 6-0 ATS  after playing 2 consecutive games as a road underdog over the last 3 seasons.

Los Angeles will take on the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night in a game I have pegged to go over the set total. Its interesting that my own projections estimate that both these teams will score more than 105 points. Note:DENVER is 41-4 OVER where both teams score 105 or more points in a game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 236.8 ppg going on the board.LA LAKERS are 43-9 OVER  where both teams score 105 or more points in a game over the last 2 season with a combined average of 235.5 ppg scored. Im basing tonights OVER call on my own estimations. 

The Lakers have averaged 114.4 ppg on offence on the road this season, while allowing 111.4 ppg . Meanwhile, Denver has scored an average of 113.8 ppg at home. 

Play OVER 

Indiana is in top form and are off clobbering back to back opponents, and Im betting they still have enough left in the tank to get by a young Phoenix team that despite of flashing some brilliance on occasion still don't know how to win consistently. This is not a good matchup for the home side Suns. 

PHOENIX is 18-32 ATS  versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game over the last 2 season with a average point differential off 11+ ppg.

NBA Favorites vs. the money line (INDIANA) - very good shooting team - shooting 48% or more on the season against opponent hot shooting team - 3 straight games making 47% or more of their shots are 27-1 L/5 seasons for a 97% conversion rate for bettors with the average margin of victory coming by 11.6 ppg.

 North Carolina State with a perfect 6-0 record  looks to have a fine team this season, but many don't believe they are a viable option here vs a  power-conference team  like Wisconsin   playing on the road. However,   Wisconsin's schedule heats up after tonight, with the Badgers probably looking ahead  to a pair of Big Ten Conference games against Iowa and Rutgers after this and may not be totally focused in this spot. 

Wolfpack are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Temple has won 5 of their first 6 games,  with key wins over California and Georgia early in the season deserve respect here as underdogs vs a inconsistent looking Missouri team that has some injury issues as Jordan Geist is battling back issues, and K.J. Santos still out with a fractured foot. The bottom line here is The Owls have too much fire power for Missouri  to handle.

 TEMPLE is 10-2 ATS  after a game with 5 or less offensive rebounds over the last 3 seasons. Temples HC Dunphy is 10-2 ATS  in road games after 2 straight games - attempting 10+ more shots than opponent in all games he has coached since 1997.

Memphis after a 5 game win streak, has lost their last two games ,and lost their last time out as home chalk to NY Knicks. Its not uncommon for teams deemed superior to their opposition to take nights off in the /NBA and also overlook their opponents , which is what Im betting happened to the Grizzlies in that game vs a up-trending Knicks team. Now focusedI expect a usually hardworking Memphis group to give top tier visitor the Raptors a fight for the W behind the leagues top defence. Im betting on the Grizzlies methodical style of play to interrupt and ply havoc on the free flowing Raptors, and make life difficult for them. 

NBA  Home underdogs (MEMPHIS) - off a upset loss as a favorite, good team, winning 60-75% or more of their games on the season are 62-30 ATS L/22 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors. 

NBA Road teams vs. the money line (TORONTO) - average to below average defensive team - allowing 103+ points/game on the season, after leading their last 3 games by 5+ points at the half are 31-61 SU L/5 seasons for a go against 66% conversion rate. The average point differential of those games clicked in at 3.2 ppg, which adds credence to a cover call of 3.5 points or more with the Grizzlies.

The North Texas men's basketball team is at Oklahoma on Tuesday aiming for its first 9-0 start to a season in program history.The Mean Green (8-0), who are the only 8-0 team in the country and riding a nation's best 10-game winning streak, take on the Oklahoma  Sooners (5-1) and if they lose tonight Im betting it will come at less than the point spread.UNT's opponents have only   averaged of 55.4 point per game this season, making the Mean Green defense a top 10  team in the nation. This is a group of players that competes as is evident by  the fact that the mean Green  only trailed this season for 12 minutes and 13 seconds all year, which means they've either led or have been tied for 96 percent of the season in this campaign..

The Virginia Tech Hokies haven't yet lost a game this season, and are a perfect 5-0. With Penn State having some early season chemistry issues they are just 3-2 and with key cog Mike Watkins having what is described as mental health issues, the Lions don't inspire confidence. Overall it does not matter to me if Watkins state of mind has evened out yet, I still believe that the Hokies own the superior side and give them my backing here on a short line. 

VIRGINIA TECH is 11-3 ATS  versus teams who make 8 or more 3 point shots/game on the season over the last 2 seasons.VIRGINIA TECH is 9-1 ATS   in November games over the last 2 seasons.VIRGINIA TECH is 15-4 ATS after playing a game as favorite over the last 2 seasonsVIRGINIA TECH is 11-3 ATS  in non-conference games over the last 2 seasons.

 Georgia Southern has played some wide open games this season, but E.Tenn State knows how to deal with free flowing teams, behind a D, that has allowed 61, 63, 61 points respectively in their L/3 and have held one opponent to just 44 points of defence this season. Here on the road Im betting that E. Tenn State hunkers down and get s very physical as they look to disrupt G.Southerns offensive rhythm which in turn will keep this game on the low side of the total. 

E TENN ST is 9-1 UNDER in road games when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 131 ppg scored. E TENN ST is 10-1 UNDER  in road games versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of. 129.4 ppg scored.

Both these teams have been playing some high scoring games, but from a matchup perspective and system vs system over view a much slower tilt must be expected in a head to head battle that promises to be physical. 

IDAHO ST is 11-0 UNDER L/11 in road games after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half and is 7-0 UNDER after scoring 75 points or more 2 straight games over the last 3 seasons. 

CBB teams where the total is between 150 and 159.5 points (IDAHO ST) - good shooting team from last season - made 45% or more of their shot attempts, after game - allowing a shooting pct. of 33% or less are 67-35 UNDER  L/22 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors.

Boston College and Minnesota have both played solid defence so far this season, with the Golden Eagles allowing 66 ppg game at home while the Gophers having allowed 65.3 ppg on the road.

On Nov 11 the Spurs put 133 points on the board in a  fast paced win vs the Chicago Bulls ( ranked 23 in ppg allowed 113) . In the return matchup Im betting on the Spurs using a high energized attack to try to duplicate the last games successful results, which in turn will make for a higher scoring tilt than the lines makers expect. I know the Bulls are having problems scoring, but Im betting their going to be forced into chasing a team that matches up well again them  or be blown of the court and for this Total to be eclipsed. Note: San Antonio owns the 21st ranked Defensive efficiency in the league and not longer is a stalwart defensive team. ( Defensive Rating is for players and teams it is points allowed per 100 possessions)

The Rockets after winning 5 straight games have suffered back to back losses in the first 2 games of their current 3 game road trip. The finale of those 3 away games comes tonight vs a very inconsistent Washington Wizards team, and gives the Rockets a solid chance at getting back into the win column and more importantly as far as we are concerned a cover . 

Houston owns a - 0.17 ranking 16th in the league while Washington has recorded a -4.07 SRS which ranks 25th in the NBA. Thus opening line of -3.5 according to my numbers is more accurate , which gives us value laying 2.5 points here. SRS : Simple Rating System; a rating that takes into account average point differential and strength of schedule. The rating is denominated in points above/below average, where zero is average. 

HC D'Antoni is 14-4 ATS in road games vs. poor rebounding teams - outrebounded by opponents by 3+ per game as the coach of HOUSTON.

NBA team (HOUSTON) - in non-conference games, off 2 or more consecutive road losses are 237-167 ATS L/5 seasons for a 59% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

WOODEN LEGACY - Final Rnd - Titan Gym - Fullerton, CA

Miami can light it up against lower tier teams, but they are still a defence first team, that will revert a more physical game plan here vs a stronger opponent in Seton Hall. Miami has allowed an average of 63 ppg so far this season, and now on tired legs after a hefty schedule should once again be methodical and defensive minded in their approach here tonight vs the Hall.  Meanwhile,Seton is also on tired legs after a heavy week, and will be prepared to hunker down tonight in a similar fashion. With that said, Im betting on a lower scoring affair that fails to eclipse this total. 

SETON HALL is 42-23 UNDER  in road games when playing only their 3rd game in a week with a combined average of 136.5 ppg scored.

MIAMI is 11-3 UNDER when playing on a neutral court over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 131 ppg going on the score board.

The Knicks have been offensively better of late, but their underlying offensive problems, are Im betting still going to be an issue , especially today vs a physical and methodical Grizzlies team that works hard on grinding teams down and disturbing their flow.   The Knicks are averaging 108.9 ppg ranking 29th in the league, and a slower pace that ranks 20th overall.  Meanwhile, the the Grizzlies rank 30th in pace and 1st and Defence, and 30th in offence. The above combinations Im betting will result in lower scoring tilt that does not eclipse this total. Note:New York  has not scored  more than 100 points in any of its previous seven trips to Memphis and Im betting on a repeat performance here in this spot.MEMPHIS is 25-12 UNDER  in home games versus poor defensive teams - allowing 106+ points/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 203.3 ppg going on the board.

The Knicks are just 6-14 start  but have come to life   in their last two games, which featured a surprising win at Boston and close home winner over New Orleans. But now Im betting on the Knicks current gravy train to crash abruptly in the unfriendly confines of Memphis where they will face a grinding opponent that can make life difficult for a  rebuilding young team like the Knicks.  It must be noted that the NYK has lost their L/7 games here and and have not scored more than 100 points in any of those games and Im betting that status quo of that trend continue today . It must be noted that Memphis 6-0 ATS L/6 at home as a favourite and play their best ball right here at home.

Note: The past three opponents the Lakers have faced  are averaging 95.

Minnesota is playing better without the traded Jimmy Butler but their offence does not have the explosiveness it did with him in the lineup. It must be noted that MINNESOTA is 9-1 UNDER in November games this season with a combined average of 213 ppg scored.   Meanwhile, Chicago is struggling offensively ,and as a result has gone under in 9 of their L/12 and have been held under 99 points in 7 of their L/9 games. the Bulls played last night scored 96 point sin a loss, and are on tired legs here and could easily find themselves muted offensively again. Everything points to this being another game where both teams keep a even pace and for the total combined score to stay on the low side of the number.

The Washington Wizards in their current form may not inspire bettors but the tonight in desperation mode Im betting they get it together  on home court vs a New Orleans team that struggles on the road (2-8 SU), and could be playing with Anthony Davis tonight because of a hip injury.

Their are alot of ebbs and flows in the NBA , and Washington is showing some proverbial high tide action entering this game after a come from behind win vs the LA Clippers last time out.

Miami enters this game in Chicago with the league's third-worst shooting percentage at 43.5, only ahead of Boston and Detroit.  the Miami Heat are really struggling and should not be favorites in their current form on the road against any NBA team , not even the rebuilding Chicago Bulls.The most recent instance of Miami's horrendous play occurred Tuesday in a 104-92 loss to the Brooklyn Nets that pushed its home losing streak to five games. The Heat shot 36 percent and missed 15 of 19 shots in the fourth quarter when the Nets outscored them by a 30-15 margin. Thats just plain ugly, and the return of veteran senior citizen Dwayne Wade Im betting wont be enough to buoy this team to victory and more importantly a cover. The Bulls are off a win last time outs nd will build on that momentum here at home vs the Heat. 

MIAMI is 13-28 ATS versus horrible foul drawing teams - attempting 21 or free throws/game over the last 3 seasons.CHICAGO is 17-4 ATS against Southeast division opponents over the last 2 seasons.

The Washington Post reported about on-court confrontations between John Wall and Jeff Green, and between Bradley Beal and Austin Rivers at a practice last week and that after those incidents Wall swore at Brooks and Beal sounded off to general manager Ernie Grunfeld. This report quantifies what is obvious and that is that this  Wizards team is in disarray, and playing wide open undisciplined basketball. Tonight I expect Torontos vaunted offence ranked 5th in the league behind the 10th fastest pace  to pound the stumbling  Wizards 29th ranked defence mercilessly while Washington behind 10th ranked offence and 7th fastest pace  will  have no choice but to chase and respond in run and gun fashion or be blown off the court. This Im betting results in a high scoring affair that eclipses this number.

TORONTO is 8-0 OVER  in home games after a game outrebounding opponent by 15 or more over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 233.6 ppg scored. 

NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (WASHINGTON) - after allowing 100 points or more 2 straight games against opponent after leading their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half are 26-5 OVER L/22 seasons for a 84% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Ive got a stubborn streak when it comes to sticking to my long term handicapping methods, and with that said, Im going to back Houston team that I have pegged as the superior team in this matchup with Detroit. Last time out I recommended we lay the heavy lumber with the Rockets at home in the first of back to back meetings with these teams, and I failed on my assessments that night, as the Pistons played the Rockets tough in Texas and covered as 9 point underdogs losing by just 2 points 126-124 .  My power rankings however, suggest that the Rockets are a viable bet here at -4 chalk, and Im laying down my cash on them again. I live and die by my methods, and lose or win today will continue down the same path, even though some turbulence may effect the smoothness of my trip. You have too remember that the young men form Motown were trailing by 10 points going into the 4th quarter of the last game, and than amazingly scored 41 points to to put pressure of the Rockets. Im betting that unbelievable shooting performance wont be on todays agenda and that Houston gets the win and cover as they play a complete game. 

HOUSTON is 22-9 ATS  off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite over the last 3 seasons and is 21-8 ATS in road games off a home win over the last 3 season.

HOUSTON is 32-18 ATS  as a road favorite of 6 points or less over the last 3 seasonsHOUSTON is 13-3 ATS in road games versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 3+ per game over the last 3 seasons. 

NBA Home underdogs (DETROIT) - after having covered 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread, in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%) are 9-37 ATS L/22 seasons for a 81% go against conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

NIT TOURNAMENT - Final Rnd - Barclays Center - Brooklyn, NY

The Cardinals are very balanced on the offensive end, with four players averaging double figures.  Sophomore Jordan Nwora leads the Cardinals in in scoring and rebounding with 19.3 points and 7.3 rebounds per game.. They lost their first game to Tennessee last time out but still looked competitive and according to my early season power rankings are the superior team here vs Marquette .Louisville has made nearly double the number of free throws (99-of-127, .780) than its opponents have attempted (44-of-59, .746). Louisville is third in the nation in free throws made and attempted, and is 30th in the nation in free throw percentage. This Im betting will be a difference maker here in this spot.

Louisville has won 12 of its last 14 games played in New York, including a 2-2 record in the Barclays Center.

MARQUETTE is 0-6 ATS  after scoring 45 points or more in the first half last game over the last 2 seasons.

UH's first four games have all been decided by no fewer than 17 points and Im betting a much more closely contested tilt that the lines makers are expecting here tonight vs Utah.  The 'Bows sport a balanced attack with four players averaging double-digit points, led by junior forward Zigmars Raimo (13.8 ppg). Hawaii from a size perspective matches up well here as UH and Utah are the only two teams in the nation that have three 7-footers on their current roster.

Memphis is a very pesky team that plays a strong physical brand of basketball and are  leading the NBA in scoring defense (100 ppg) and turnover differential (-4.6) while ranking second in steals (9.8),   Their quickly becoming the type of team, that other sides around the league don't look forward to facing. The Grizzlies have won 4 straight games, and could induce a  night mare for a Spurs team that is struggling defensively as was evident last time out when they allowed  the Pelicans to shoot 57.8 percent from the floor in a 140-126 loss. Add to that the Grizzlies star Conely after being injured last year, is rounding back into super star gear, and hitting 38.7 percent from 3-point range this month . This team feeds off Conely's energy and  with Grizzlies C Marc Gasol suddenly back in top form hitting on  three straight double-doubles while averaging 17.7 points and 10.4 rebounds this month the Grizzlies are a dangerous underdog here tonight.
