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

 NBA teams where the line is +3 to -3 Orlando  - revenging a home loss vs opponent against opponent off a road loss against a division rival are 6-30 ATS L/36.

Gonzaga (31-1) ranked No. 4 nationally averaging 84.9 ppg overall and Saint Mary's (28-3) at No. 19 averaging 73 ppg on offense this season prepare to tangle in a game with a cheap total attached to it .Gonzaga shot 55.3 percent from the field in its 74-64 win over Saint Mary's on Feb. 11 in Moraga, Calif. The Bulldogs shot 64.7 percent in their 79-56 victory in Spokane, Wash., on Jan. 14 and have obviously shown an ability to bypass Saint Mary's defense that is the key to their successes and failures. Today, I expect the Bulldogs to dictate the pace of this game , and for Saint Mary's to have to reciprocate with some offensive fire works of their own  or be blown off the court.

Tonight's Texas Showdown between the Houston Rockets and San Antonio Spurs will see a more physical , Im betting will see a more defensive type game than the pundits might expect. The Rockets play a fire house brand of basketball, that features an explosive offense. Meanwhile, the Spurs  ranked No.1 in the league in D rating,despite of being able to run and gun with the best of teams , base their successes and failures on playing strong two way basketball based on solid defensive fundamentals, behind a pace that ranks 26th in the league. Tonight Im betting the home team, show cases this , and controls the pace of this tilt, which will in turn help keep the total combined score of this game on the low side of the number.

   From a league wide data base is must be noted that  NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 like the Rockets/Spurs - in a game involving 2 top tier teams - outscoring opponents by 7+ PPG in the 2nd half of the season are 32-6 UNDER for a 84% conversion rate for bettors. Also NBA  teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 like the Spurs - after 7 or more consecutive wins, in March games are 23-4 under for a 85% conversion rate for bettors following this league wide trend that dates back 5 seasons.

 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.

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.

Todays combatants Atlanta and Indiana are coming off close hard fought losses to a couple of the NBAs best teams. Atlanta after a ferocious 4th quarter comeback lost 135-130 heart breaker to Cleveland on Friday, while the Pacers lost 100-99 to San Antonio on Wednesday.
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.

The Rockets pounded the Grizzlies 119-95 in their last meeting. The Rockets played a take no prisoners game  as they dealt with the  frustration of two earlier series losses . In those previous match-ups Houston gave up a nine-point first-half lead in a 115-109 loss at Memphis on Dec. 23 and than gave up a 15-point second-half lead in a 110-105 home loss on Jan. 13, to a tenacious never say die Memphis side that must not be underestimated .Memphis, played last night and lost in Dallas,  but are 10-3 SU in the second half of back-to-backs and  is 12-2 ATS L/14 off a road loss this season and from my own player to players matchup systems/matchup very well against the Rockets.

The Spurs return home with little rest after a late night and a later flight after beating New Orleans 101-98 in overtime on Friday and will be no mood to run and gun and instead will focus on their top tier defense to slow down the young rested Minnesota Wolves. Note: The Spurs have not allowed 11 of their L/13 opponents to not eclipse the 99 point plateau. I also will not be surprised if Spurs HC  Popovich does not rest Aldridge, Green and Gasol for parts of his game after all three played big minutes in last nights exhausting tilt, which in turn will mute the Spurs sometimes explosive offense. Meanwhile Minnesota, looks like they have turned a corner with some impressive defensive performances of late, allowing 4 of their L/5 opponents 99 or less points and 3 of those opponents to not eclipse the 88 point plateau. They are off a upset win last time out vs Utah by a 107-80 count but have seen their L/11 games off a win vs a division rival see a combined score of 199.9 ppg go on the scoreboard in their follow up tilt and if off a upset win as a underdog of 6 or more points vs a division rival the follow up game has seen them and their opponents average just 194.1 ppg, over a 21 game span.

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.

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.

The Chicago Bulls roll into this contest having won four straight games, behind an offense that has suddenly come to life, scoring 105,104,128, and 117 points in those games via a more aggressive attack and uptick in pace.  Meanwhile, Denver despite of struggling of late, continue to score in bunches on most nights, averaging 110.6 ppg on the season, behind the 7th ranked pace. Their biggest issue comes via their defense, which has allowed a whopping 111.7 ppg this season, and 112 ppg in road tilts, ranking dead last in defensive rating in the league. Considering the Bulls current form, and the Nuggets propensity to run and gun, Im betting we will see a high scoring affair tonight that eclipses this number. My owns numbers suggest that both these teams  will score in 110 range . DENVER is 30-2 OVER where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with the combined score of 234.8 ppg, going on the scoreboard , and the Nuggets are  also  22-1 OVER  when they score 112 or more points in a game this season, with a combined average of 239.2 ppg getting scored.

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.

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.

These are two of the best teams in the MAAC, and both can light up the scoreboard with efficient offenses. But in a big game like this defense and a more physical type of game Im betting will take precedent, which will lead to a lower combined score than the Total may indicate. It must also be noted that Monmouths D, is very reliable , holding  4 of their L/6 opponents to 69 points or less and once again help this combined score stay on the low side of the Total.

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.

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.

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.

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.

CBB teams where the total is greater than or equal to 160 (WM & MARY/HOFSTRA) - in a game involving two average free throw shooting teams (65-69%) are 100-58 under dating back 20 seasons for a 63% long term conversion rate for bettors.

The Ducks (24-4, 13-2 Pac-12) are on course for their second straight regular-season Pac-12 title, while the Bears (18-8, 9-5) need a signature win to ensure their inclusion in the NCAA tournament. The Bears are 14-2 SU at home this season, losing only to Virginia by four points and to Arizona by five, but are playing much better since those losses and are currently in top form, despite of a loss to Stanford last time out, as they probably got caught looking ahead to this tilt. The Bears rank first in the Pac-12 in both scoring defense, yielding 62.7 points per game, and field-goal percentage defense, allowing opponents to shoot 39.0 percent and I am betting their D, will be the key to a cover here and or possible SU upset. With the Bears playing with revenge for their worst loss of the season, 86-63 back on Jan 19th Im betting we get a very motivated effort from a Bears side that is 20-4 SU at home with conference revenge.

Ducks are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

Providence will be primed and motivated as they look to get a head of the bubble as we head towards the NCAA tournament.

"It's obviously a big game for Providence as they try to get themselves on the right side of the bubble for the NCAA tournament," Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. He knows the hurricane that awaits him and is prepared to batten down the proverbial hatches here.Even so it wont be easy for Creighton to  navigate easily past this storm. With that said, it will not be a difficult decision for me to take the motivated and talented underdog in this spot that is 9-1 ATS L/10 as single digit dogs and are 7-1 ATS with revenge for a earlier loss to a opponent by DDs, which happened, on Jan 7th at home (  78-64).

PROVIDENCE is 15-2 ATS after 2 straight games committing 11 or less turnovers.PROVIDENCE is 8-1 ATS L/9  versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game this season and 6-0 ATS L/6 in road games versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3 point shots/game on the season.

Fairfield looked flat last time out, as they failed to show up in a 74-55 loss to St.Peters. Now I expect the Stags, a side that has won 6 of their L/8 overall, to bounce back and  give this streaking Monmouth side all they can handle here at home , in a motivated effort.

 Baylor's will be in a letdown state after they failed to grab at least a share of the Big 12 championship  when Kansas defeated the Bears, 67-65 this past Saturday. With not alot on the line here today, Im betting we will not see the best the Bears have to offer. Meanwhile, the Sooners, despite of needing to win the Big 12 Championship to get a sniff of the NCAA tournament have been competitive of late as was evident by defeating Texas and almost upsetting Oklahoma State last week losing 96-92 after being up big. The last time these teams met Baylor crushed the Sooners on Dec 30th, but it must be noted that OKLAHOMA is 7-1 ATS L/8 revenging a loss vs opponent this season.

Meanwhile, West Virginia has only once in their L/14 games  won by more than 16 points. Im betting this game ends up being alot closer than many pundits may expect.

My own estimates make this total closer to 150, and thus taking an under stance makes for a high probability outcome for under bettors.

CBB teams where the total is between 150 and 159.5 points (QUINNIPIAC/MANHATTAN) - in a game involving two poor shooting teams (40-42.5%) after 15+ games are a bankroll expanding 30-6 to the under for betting backers which equates to a 83%  long term conversion rate .

MANHATTAN is 6-0 UNDER L/6 this season versus teams who attempt 21 or more 3 point shots/game on the season with a combined average score of 137.6 ppg going on the scoreboard.QUINNIPIAC is 6-0 UNDER L/6 in road games after scoring 80 points or more (which happened last time out vs Fairfield)

USC is one of the most under rated teams in the nation according to my own power rankings . Meanwhile, despite of all the love from the media , and their great offensive talent, the UCLA Bruins do not always fare well from a bettors perspective, because of exaggerated lines, especially when they are hosts  of late as is evident by a 3-10 ATS record vs conference foes this season.

The last 3 most recent meetings in this series, have ben decided by 5 points or less, and Im betting on another hard fought affair. N.Carolina might have clobbered NC State last time out, by a huge DD margin, but the Cavaliers are far superior defensively and will offer up some huge problems for a N.Carolina team that needs to flow offensively to be successful. With that said, Im betting Virginia controls the tempo/pace of this game, and makes life very difficult for the Tar Heels.
