Bowling Green has owned the Huskies of late winning 18 of the L/26 meetings SU . Meanwhile, the visiting  Huskies will be playing off a triple-revenger with Ohio U  and will now be in a letdown spot and susceptible to a down performance . It must be noted Northern Illinois  is a ugly  1-15 SU and covered only three of those games ATS   after going against the  Bobcats .   Meanwhile,  Bowling Green  is returning home off a home loss to Miami Ohio on Tuesday which is  good omen for us  Falcons backers as the Falcons own a 4-0 SU/ATS mark here off a previous home loss.   Bowling Green has won and covered the last five series meetings with NIU when favored by 6 or fewer points and I'm betting on it being 6 covers in a row here after tonight.

Huskies are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. Mid-American. Favorite is 2-0-2 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

It has become obvious to me recently  the importance of Indiana Pacers leading scorer Victor Oladipo to the teams successes or failures. He's is truly the key to this teams flow in my humble opinion and brings a great deal of chemistry and energy to the Pacers attack. After losing 5 straight games, Oladipo made a triumphant return last time out  scoring 26 points as his team blasted the Bulls by a lopsided 125-86 count and I'm betting his fresh legs will be the catalyst to a Pacers win and cover tonight vs visiting Milwaukee . QUOTE: "He opened up the offense as well as the defense with a couple of steals in the first quarter," McMillan said about Oladipo  . "We were able to establish a tempo. When you have a guy like that capable of creating opportunities for himself as well as his teammates. It just frees you up. A lot of what our guys have to do is catch and shoot because the defense is focused on him." END QUOTE:

With Oladipo out, the Bucks owned  the Pacers in a 122-101 blowout last Wednesday night. But now with revenge on board and their star back in the lineup payback is at hand.

MILWAUKEE is 12-23 ATS   L/35 versus struggling defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 46%  or less. INDIANA is 22-10 ATS   L/32 when playing 4 or less games in 10 days.INDIANA is 26-13 ATS  39  in home games revenging a same season loss vs opponent.

Bucks are 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 vs. NBA Central. Some teams and people don't like Mondays ( aka Boom Town Rats - 1979) but it seems the Pacers like the first day of the week, as they are 7-0 ATS  L/7 Monday games) Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Bucks: 0-3-1 in 1/1 rest sit vs div -Pacers: 4-1 home in 1/1 rest sit vs div.

Home favorites vs. the money line (INDIANA) - after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team are 74-18 SU L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA Favorites (INDIANA) - revenging a loss vs opponent of 10 points or more against opponent off a road win are a long term viable wagering option, going 106-60 ATS L/5 seasons for a 64% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

The Bearcats very much at this point in the season look like national championship contenders. They did suffer a couple losses in December, but since than they have won 5 straight by an average of 22.4 ppg. Now with revenge on board for losing 2 of three to SMU last season, including a DD loss in the AAC championship game,  I'm betting the Bearcats will be ready to perform with a vengeance. The Ponies have lost 4 straight meetings on this floor and I'm betting the 5th straight comes today in lopsided fashion.

Mustangs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.  Bearcats are 9-3 ATS L/12 at home.

The Miami Heat  enter this home game playing some good hoops of late, winning three straight , and  now go against a inconsistent  slumping Utah Jazz team that has lost 12 of their L/15 games  this  Sunday afternoon  at American Airlines Arena.

Both these teams overall numbers on the season suggest they are comfortable playing slower paced hoops. But recent stats and style of play do not support the overall data. This giving us value playing the OVER.

The Jazz's biggest problem this season is their inability to play solid defense, something they have become respected for, until recently. That is evident by allowing more than 100 points in 12 of their L/15 tilts with the average  opposition offensive production coming in at 109.4 ppg in those above mentioned games . With the Heat hitting their offensive stride of late scoring , 117, 111, 107 points in their L/3 , in fast paced back and forth affairs, . Considering the Heats current blue print has been successful   I'm betting on another similar output this Sunday by the Heat as they force the Jazz into a faster paced game than they may want to participate in. It must also be noted that the Heat have allowed 6 of their L/7 opponents to eclipse the 100  point plateau allowing a average of 106.5 ppg in the 6 games. With that said,  my own projections, estimate both sides to eclipse the 100 point plateau, in this spot which makes taking an over wager a  very viable investment option.

Over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings in Miami.

MIAMI is 11-1 OVER  L/12  in home games when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49% with a combined average 216.6 ppg going on the scoreboard. UTAH is 14-1 OVER    in road games versus lower tier foul drawing teams - attempting  21 or less free throws/game with the combined average score of 205.6 ppg scored.

NBA Home teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points (MIAMI) - a good offensive team (98-102 PPG) against a poor defensive team (98-102 PPG), after scoring 100 points or more 2 straight games are 37-11 OVER L/5 seasons for a 77% conversion rate for Totals bettors.

NBA Home teams where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points (MIAMI) - after 2 or more consecutive wins, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 54-19 OVER L/5 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

The Charlotte  Hornets enter this game  with momentum as they are off a season-high point total in a 131-111 victory at the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday.  Meanwhile, the tired looking LA Lakers are off getting blasted by a 133-96  by the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder in their last trip to the hardwood on Wednesday night.  The Lakers futility has been obvious for a while, as they have lost 8 straight behind an offense ranks last in the NBA in 3-point shooting (32.6 percent), free throw shooting (68.8), and average the second-most turnovers per game (16.1). I know the Lakers beat the Hornets the last time these teams played on Dec. 9 in Charlotte, but the Lakers are only 1-11 since then, and in a major funk. Yes, injuries have played a role in the Lakers recent slide, but even when they are healthy chemistry issues and cohesiveness seem to be an issue. I personally feel having the self promoting Lavar Ball around the team ( Lonzo Balls dad)  makes for a circus like environment that in part is playing havoc with this young groups concentration. With that said, I'm betting on the revenge minded Hornets to come out here and get the win/cover as short road chalk.

Hornets are 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 road games.Lakers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.Hornets are 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles.

CHARLOTTE is 22-8 ATS  L/30  in road games after leading in their previous game by 15 or more points at the half.LA LAKERS are 12-27 ATS  L/39 when playing 6 or more games in 10 days over.

NBA Home teams (LA LAKERS) - in a game involving two poor defensive teams (45.5-47.5%), after a game - allowing a shooting pct. of 55% or higher are 12-37 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against conversion rate of 76% for bettors.

NBA Road favorites vs. the money line (CHARLOTTE) - poor pressure defensive team - forcing 14 turnovers/game or less, after a game committing 10+ less turnovers than opponents are 45-11 SU L/21 seasons with the average margin of victory coming by +8.9 ppg.

The Toronto Raptors are in red hot form behind emerging super stars Lowry and DeRozan and up and coming kids with huge potential like Delon Wright. This past Monday On Jan. 1, the Raptors beat the Bucks 131-127 in overtime. That victory was the fourth straight in the series for Toronto, which grabbed the final three games of a first-round playoff series from Milwaukee last spring.
Meanwhile, the Bucks have won 3 of their L/4 with the lone loss coming in the above mentioned game. Despite of this game taking place in Milwaukee I'm betting the superior side according to my power rankings Toronto comes out on top again.

Los Angeles is playing some very good hoops at the moment as they go for their seventh win in the last eight tilts  when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Oklahoma City is also playing well with seven victories in the last nine outings. However,  In game that is essentially a pickem, my own power rankings suggest in a head to head , and player to player and system vs  system analysis , that the Thunder are the superior overall team and have a better than 55% chance of coming out as the  victorious side. SF Paul George scored 42 points in 42 minutes when the Thunder took  a 120-111 home victory over the Clippers on Nov. 10 and is averaging 26.4 points on 44-of-75 shooting over his last five contests . With that said, I'm betting  George will once again be the key catalyst for what I expect will  be Thunder success in this meeting.

The Rockets did well without the injured super star James Harden last night in a 116-98 win vs a downtrodden group in the Orlando Magic. Tonight, however, on tired legs  I'm betting their offense will be muted , vs a much better  and under rated defensive side , that is ranked 5th in defensive efficiency  in the league . With that said, I'm expecting the Rockets to take a much more conservative approach to this confrontation, vs the explosive Warriors than they usually would because of being short handed which will result in a slower paced game then expected. The Rockets are also no pushovers on defense as their efficiency ranking is 10th overall in the league and will be primed to play physical ball. Note:Defensive Rating (available since the 1973-74 season in the NBA);  for players and teams... it is based on points allowed per 100 possessions.

The last meeting between these teams was high scoring ,a 122-121 shootout win for the Rockets as road dogs but 5 of the L/6 overall have stayed under the total . I'm expecting for these sides to revert back to those types of confrontations tonight.

I don't often watch complete NBA games, but rather , just go through all the action in fast form replays every morning, so I can get a better grip on emotions and energy levels, when I attach all the pertinent stats and power rankings / projections to a matchup vs the line. After all  sports are played by humans and not robots. So for me its important to see and gage with my own eyes what is exactly going on in a matchup.  With that said, for whatever reason, I ended watching big chunks of a previous matchup featuring tonight's combatants, the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz ( played on Dec 1). What I took from that game, and stood out to me was how the Pelicans Anthony Davis seemed to own the Jazz, he looked extremely confident and his team could feel his energy and they played off of it, leading for 3 quarters before Davis injured his hamstring. After Davis exited the Jazz took over and won 114-108. With Davis healthy and expected to play tonight I expect he and  his side kick Cousins to come out here looking for revenge.  Add to that some embarrassing collapses in recent tilts for the well rested Pelicans and I'm betting we see them at their best tonight, and as you can see from the line , the books agree with my assessments.

UTAH is 4-12 ATS  L/16 after having lost 2 of their last 3 games this season.  Pelicans are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Jazz are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs. Western Conference.

Texas A&M is expected to without its leading scorer, D.J. Hogg (suspended), and guard Admon Gilder (knee) . Robert Williams and Duane Wilson suffered injuries against the Crimson Tide in a game where they scored just 57 points in a DD loss.

This will lead to a combined score that remains on the low side of the Total.

The Knicks,  enter this game better prepared to take on the San Antonio after a  119-107 road loss  vs the Spurs last week on Dec 28.

The Knicks, in their last trip to the  hardwood ended   a four-game losing streak on Sunday in a 105-103 win and now with  momentum and added  confidence will I'm betting deal better with their top tier opponents in the rematch. Being able to get the feel of what's coming their way tonight by examining , their  last meeting in this series is an important factor in the Knick's being competitive tonight, considering Hornacek's recent ability to adjust to opponents via condensed scouting  charts . Considering that my own numbers ( cross reference player vs player -system vs system power rankings) also  suggest this line is closer to an adjusted  pickem, makes  taking the points here  a viable wager.

The Bulldogs are off beating the No.1 ranked Villanova Wildcats 101-93 on Saturday at Hinkle Fieldhouse , and despite of being in an emotional letdown scenario, must not be underestimated as dogs in this spot. Meanwhile, Xavier despite of current 9 game win streak, have really had to work hard for wins in their three most recent tilts as hosts, The Musketeers had to exert a lot of energy in a 22-point comeback in a win vs East Tennessee State, and barely got by in a four-point win vs explosive Marshall, then on Saturday had to find a way back from 16 point deficit to beat DePaul in the Big East opener. Needless to say that both teams could be experiencing a drop off here based on their recent battles. QUOTE: "Over the past two weeks, I don't think we've played like a top-five team," Mack said about his Xavier program "I think we're capable of doing that. I hope we're a better version of ourselves tomorrow night against a really good Butler team." END QUOTE:

From a matchup perspective Butler is never an easy out for any hoops program in this nation , and from a personal power ranking perspective are a viable side to take when getting points. Add to that these two rivals are just 90 miles apart makes for an even more pronounced confrontation that makes taking the points golden in my betting opinion.

I'm also betting on Butler top tier downtown 3 point snipers Paul Jorgensen and Kelan Martin to be the difference makers here tonight in a Butler cover.

Los Angeles  is off a grueling , double-overtime loss (142-148) in Houston on Sunday that lasted nearly three hours and saw starters Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Tyler Ennis play over 40 minutes apiece.

The 76ers went into Denver last night and took out the Nuggets by a 107-102 count, and now with momentum on their sides I expect them to come out and take out the  Phoenix Suns this Sunday night. I know the Suns have played decent hoops of late winning 5 of their L/7 and  two good back to back games, but from a player vs player  and system vs system  perspective  the Sixers in their current form matchup very well against  them despite of losing the first meeting in this series this season back in December . With that that said,  their is added incentive for the Sixers as they look to avenge that above mentioned embarrassing 115-101  loss in Philadelphia on Dec. 4,

My own projections make this Total closer to 216 to 217, thus giving us value on a UNDER wager in this pot play between the Suns and 76ers.

HC Triano of the Suns has turned his team around and are playing better ball of late, thanks to increased concentration on playing solid defensive ball. Tonight against a sometimes explosive 76ers group you bet this coach has a game plan that is centered on playing a slower brand of basketball. This I'm betting will directly effect the Total combined score of this tilt to the low side of the number. Note: Suns have failed to breach the 100 point plateau in 4 of their L/6 and 5 of their L/7 have remained on the low side the Total.

Indiana's leading scorer Victor Oladipo  is is expected  miss his third consecutive game with a sore right knee when Indiana (19-17) hosts Minnesota (22-14) on Sunday. That's  after  having  lost three in a row. That's not good news for a  Pacers team that already in funk after having lost three straight games.  QUOTE:
"We've lost that sense of urgency," said HC McMillan, whose team lost to Chicago 119-107 on Friday night. "We're giving up big quarters defensively. Teams are really coming out and just jumping on us. We have to get stops so we can rebound the ball and we can establish a tempo. Right now, we're not defending well at all." END QUOTE
I agree with this statement completely, and doubt very much that the Pacers can just turn a switch and go back into overdrive again.

Both these teams can light the board up in a hurry, but Arkansas State is a viable defensive team as well, and have held 3 of their L/4 opponents to under 68 points or less. LA Lafayette is the more aggressive run and gun style team, and I'm expecting the home side to want to slow them down a bit here, which reflect in a more muted offensive output than the linesmakers expect ,  in a game that I am betting remains on the low side of the number.

No. 3 Arizona State (12-0) has been the most surprising team in college basketball, while No. 17 Arizona (10-3) is riding a seven-game winning streak. both are playing at a high level, but I'm betting on the status quo to continue going forward with Arizona showing us their pedigree in a key game.

From a matchup perspective I feel strongly that Arizona has the edge vs Arizona St small ball lineup. Arizona has a height advantage in the post and I'm betting this will be a catalyst to them winning and covering this evening in this big time desert brawl.

The Pistons according to my cross reference system/player rankings is a team that matches up well vs the Spurs. It's not about which side is superior, but about a head to head matchup analysis that suggests  that this Motown group are viable home underdogs. The Spurs rank 6th in SRS 3.02 and the Pistons rank 12th with a 0.77 SRS. The Pistons offense is ranked 22nd while the Spurs offense ranks 24th overall in the league.  Both sides own viable defenses with the San Antonio ranking first and Detroit in 7th spot. From a aggregate point of view the line is slightly bloated according to my own systems, and with that said I'm recommending we take the points here with the Pistons. ( Detroit is 11-5 SU at home this season)

Note: Detroit was upset last time out vs the Orlando Magic , as 4 point favs,(102-89) which is a good omen considering Detroit's ability in the past to bounce back as is evident by their  10-1 ATS  record L/11 opportunities  in home games off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite .

Five-time All Star forward Blake Griffin will be a game-time decision when the Los Angeles Clippers play the Los Angeles Lakers at Staples Center on Friday, but play or not I'm betting on the Clippers still having the edge in their current form, failing to cover just twice in their L/10 games. Meanwhile, the Lakers  3-12 L/15 SU continue to play without two key contributors Lonzo Ball and Brooks Lopez which will hinder their cohesiveness again in this spot.

Meanwhile, Houston has lost 4 in a row, in part due to injuries. But the other night they played at a high level leading Boston by as much as 26 points before folding and losing by 1 point.

The Milwaukee Bucks are an extremely talented team, that does not always play inspired ball, which results in their inconsistencies. The truth is that the Bucks when motivated can beat any team in this league, but on many occasions just come out in play flat uninspired hoops. With losses in five of their last seven games, the Bucks should be up for this tilt against  a Minnesota Timberwolves team that is streaking and have  won five games in a row, including a 128-125 overtime victory over Denver Wednesday night.

Two teams struggling to get wins on the board go head to head tonight as the Grizzlies visit the  Lakers in the Staples Center. The veteran laden Grizzlies are struggling much more than even I anticipated would be the case without injured floor general Conley out of the lineup, while the young Lakers show considerable inconsistencies. With that said, I'm always trying to find cracks in the current narratives associated with sports matchups that give me an edge against a line . From a matchup perspective the Grizzlies veterans are proven commodities in this league ie Gasol , Evans and matchup well against Lakers mostly inexperienced and unproven group that is also banged up with Lonzo Ball (shoulder) and Brookes Lopez expected to miss with an ankle injury.  With that said,  I'm betting we have value taking the Grizzlies.

LA LAKERS are 7-22 ATS  L/29 after playing 2 consecutive home games .Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MEMPHIS) - after failing to cover 4 or 5 of their last 6 against the spread, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days are 69-34 ATS L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

Denver and Minnesota are two teams exhibiting upper tier offensive production and lower tier defensive numbers. The Wolves rank 5th in offensive efficiency (112.4) and 25th  in defensive efficiency (110.2).  Meanwhile, the Nuggets ranked 7th in offensive efficiency (110.1) and  a 17th ranked defensive  efficiency rating of (108.3 ) . This combination of numbers adjusted to each team system and head to head matchup comparisons, project and estimated combined score of somewhere in the vicinity of 217 to 219 , thus giving us value with an over bet according to my numbers. Note: The only game between these teams this season saw a combined 216 points go on the board. My own projections estimate both sides will score at least 106+ points tonight. DENVER is 13-0 OVER  L/13 where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combine average of 235.4 ppg clicking in on the board.MINNESOTA is 12-2 OVER  where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 227 ppg scored.

Charlotte enters this game having lost 14 of their L/18 overall SU, and have not notched back to back wins during that negative run. The Hornets did get a rare win last time out, vs the Bucks, but are still a less than cohesive unit at this time and fade material vs what my own ranking suggest is a better side .  Meanwhile, the Celtics were upset at home vs a hungry looking Washington Wizards group last time out, and will now be primed for a bounce back performance. note: Celtics are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss.

Butler even here on the road according to my own power rankings should be 5.5 point favs vs a Georgetown team that is not as good as its 10-1 record might indicate, thus giving us value on this -3 opening line. Butler has a +3.8 turnover margin on the season, which is third in the BIG EAST and 33rd nationally. Butler has also won the points-in-the-paint battle in all 10 of its victories this season. On the campaign, Butler is averaging a +13.3 edge in points in the paint .

The Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks resume their long time rivalry tonight in a Boxing Day matchup at the Bradley Center.The same two teams met a little less than two weeks ago here in the same venue as the Bulls took a 115-109 victory . I know that the Bucks will now be out looking for revenge, but the according to my own matchup/systems player to player power rankings the Bulls matchup very well in this matchup and are a viable wagering investment opportunity getting points.

With Bucks star Antetokounmpo playing on a sore knee, I'm betting the physically active Bulls will be more than a handful for the home team once again tonight.

Indiana enters this game against the Motown Pistons rated in the upper tier of my power rankings are a very under rated NBA team , on a overall upward performance  trajectory.  The Pacers rank 6th in offensive production (108.6 ppg) in the league and 8th overall in SRS +1.99. Meanwhile, the Pistons rank 14th in  SRS with a 0.64 , and 22nd in offensive output (102.7 ppg). Detroit owns the better defense, but the numbers according to my head to head charts is minimal . Both are obviously rested, but one of these teams, the Pacers has excelled with added time off thanks to their aggressive run and gun offensive approach. Note: INDIANA is 13-1 ATS  L/14 in road games when playing with 2 days rest.

Two teams that don't really like each other, go head to head to day in Boston on Christmas day, in  a place where the Celtics have won and covered 9 straight in this series. I know the Celtics are a much different team than last season splay offs when the teams last met , with the roster having under gone changes, but I'm sure the animosity remains. From a matchup perspective the intangibles remain much the same and now according to my own power rankings the Celtics are even better now as a group, and  here once again  and on home court the men from Beantown have an edge.

The defending NBA champion Golden State Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers in a big time Christmas day matchup. I'm sure LeBron James and company will be out looking for redemption here today, after last season beat down in the Finals, and  Golden State will also be out to make sure the status quo remains in play. From my own perspective and matchup/system/players comparisons the Warriors are the superior side with or without Curry in the lineup. Both these teams have explosive offenses , but what sets these teams apart is Golden States ability to play solid defense , behind the 3rd ranked Defensive efficiency ranking in the league  something it seems Cleveland has a problem with as is evident by a 26th ranked defensive efficiency rating. From a SRS perspective the Cavs are ranked 6th in the league with a 2.44 and Golden State ranks 2nd with a 9.48 SRS for a +7 aggregate score making them solid home favorites according to these numbers. Note: 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.

The Portland Trail Blazers prepare to play a LA Lakers team that is in a let down situation and on tired legs after playing and losing to the Golden State Warriors last night.

The Blazers will try to extend their winning streak against the Los Angeles Lakers to 14 games vs franchise they have dominated for a long time no matter the circumstances or how good one team has been compared to the other .Los Angeles hasn't defeated the Trail Blazers since March 3, 2014, a 107-106 victory in Portland . The Blazers won seven in a row against the Lakers at Staples Center since its last loss on Feb. 22, 2013. Yes, this is an anomaly but also merits consideration. I know the Blazers played last night as well, and maybe without star G, Damian Liliard tonight, but they get the Lakers at a good time as mentioned above.

Now they go  head to head with the Bucks again Saturday night in Charlotte at a disadvantage.The Hornets  also expected to be  without Treveon Graham for a fourth straight game because of back spasms. From a matchup perspective the Hornets even at full strength are at a matchup disadvantage, and do not matchup well vs Milwaukee's three-headed monster of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton and Eric Bledsoe who combined for 78 points and had 22 of the Bucks' 26 fourth quarter points last night. With that said, I'm looking only one way at this tilt , and that directly at the Bucks.

This has been a difficult rebuilding season for UC Irvine and they are currently on a 5 game losing streak playing their 5th straight game away from home, so needless to say this team is exhausted  physically and emotionally drained  to say the least. Now they must face a Idaho team playing in their own back yard, that has won 8 of their L/10 games, (with both losses coming vs CS Bakersfield). My own line suggests that a 7.5 point chalk line should more appropriate, and a outliner  via my own power rankings that estimates a win by as much as 12 points for Idaho has me firmly backing them in this spot.

The Memphis Grizzlies and Phoenix Suns are two teams struggling to get wins. Both are without key players as Mike Conley the Grizzlies floor general continues to rehab an injury and  the Suns Devin Booker their leading scorer is also not expected back for a few more games.  From a talent perspective the Grizzlies have the edge to find a way to win tonight, despite of the Suns holding home court advantage. However, according to my own matchup systems power rankings Memphis has the edge and is the less of two evils here in this spot  play.

Chicago enters this game with offensive flow having eclipsed the 100 point plateau in 7 straight games but  have allowed more than 100 points in 15 of their L/18 overall. Now on tired legs after last nights rare strong defensive effort vs Orlando I'm betting they revert back to the norm and allow the explosive Cleveland Cavaliers to light them up for a boat load full of points tonight. Meanwhile, Cleveland has scored an average of over 111 ppg this season, ranking 4th in offense in the league, which includes a porous D, that has allowed 107.4 ppg ranked 23rd worst in the league.

The Bulls have scored more consistently of late,  but I'm betting they will revert to the mean eventually and more importantly tonight , because of key system discrepancies  which I have pinpointed from a matchup system I have formulated  .  Meanwhile, the Orlando Magic, own the 13th ranked offense and 7 th ranked pace. The Magic have also failed to eclipse the 95 point plateau on offense in 4 of their L/7, and are struggling to stay offensively consistent and I'm betting their production problems will persist  in this spot.
