This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Portland Trailblazers.

Portland comes in off a big come from behind win over Toronto and we look for it to carry that momentum over here. LA on the other hand has already started to slide after its big start to the season, coming in having lost three straight. The Clippers were overachieving to start the year and we think they’re completely out of gas at this point. Portland won’t be taking anything for granted, as the win over the Raptors broke a two-game slide. This is a revenge game as well and note that the BLAZERS are 8-4 ATS in revenging a loss vs. an opponent this season. Grab the points.

This is a 10* ATS BLOOD-BATH on Western Illinois.

It’s the 4-7 Western Illinois Leathernecks vs. the 5-4 NIU Huskies and we think these teams are more evenly matched than what this spread would suggest. Overall the Leathernecks average 69.3 points and allow 72.9. The Huskies are averaging 80 points and allowing 78. Note that four of Western Illinois’ seven losses has been decided by single digits. NIU has been horrible defensively and we think the hungry visitors will keep this one competitive late. Note as well that Western Illinois is a perfect 5-0 ATS in its last five after falling to cover three of the last four against the spread. Play on WESTERN ILLINOIS.

This is a 10* MID-MAJOR MAULING on CS Fullerton.

We think the 9-1 San Francisco Dons get caught looking past the lowly 3-7 Cal State Fullerton Titans. The Titans come in off an 81-66 loss to Saint Mary’s on Monday. Austen Awosika had 19 points, four boards, five assists, one block and a steal in the setback. Overall the Titans average 76.5 PPG, while allowing 71.9. San Fran averages 80.7 PPG and it’s allowing 58.6. Now, we think the Dons numbers are skewed slightly due to the level of its early competition. Note as well that the Titans are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 after having lost four or five of their last six games, while the Dons are still just 13-16 ATS in their last 29 as a home favorite. Grab the points, play on CS FULLERTON.

This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Detroit Pistons.

The Celtics come in “flat” here in our opinion after their 129-108 home win over Atlanta last night. Detroit covered in its last game in Charlotte on Wednesday, but the Pistons will be hungry to get back into the winners circle after their tough 108-107 setback to the Hornets. They’re also out to avenge a 108-105 loss in Boston back on October 30th. It’s a perfect situational play for the PISTONS, but also note that the Celtics are just 7-9 ATS on the road this year and only 30-36 ATS after having won six or seven of their last eight games, while Detroit is already 6-2 ATS in its last eight when playing with double revenge after two straight loss vs. an opponent. Grab the points.

This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Portland Trailblazers.

We think this one sets up as a natural letdown spot after the Raptors beat the Warriors in Golden State last time out, even without the services of offensive star Kawhi Leonard. The Blazers come in as the off back-to-back losses though and they’ll clearly be the “hungrier” team here. A great situational play, but also note that Toronto is interestingly just 9-14 ATS in its last 23 vs. the Northwest Division, while Portland is still 9-5 ATS at home. Grab the points, play on the BLAZERS.

This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Sacramento Kings.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS stats:

As note that Minnesota is just 5-7 ATS on the road this year, while Sacramento is 7-4 ATS at home.

The bottom line: The KINGS are also 4-1 ATS in their last five overall and we think that they offer great value in front of the home town crowd; grab the points.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS stats:

As note that Idaho State is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 after scoring 80 points or more in its previous contest and 4-2 ATS in is last six as a road dog in the 6.5 to nine points range, while Pepperdine is interestingly just 1-6 ATS in its last seven vs. poor defensive teams which allow 77 plus points per contest.

The bottom line: We think Pepperdine looks past its lowly non-conference opponent, leaving the back door open just enough for a comfortable cover. Play on IDAHO STATE.

The bottom line: Denver’s depth helps it here in the second game of the back to back for each side and while we wouldn’t be shocked by an outright upset, we’ll recommend grabbing the points; play on the NUGGETS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Cleveland State.

We think the 5-0 Buckeyes come in complacent and get caught looking past the lowly 2-3 Cleveland State Vikings. The Vikings enter off a 73-60 loss to Samford. Overall Cleveland State is averaging 76 PPG. The Buckeyes are only averaging 79.4 though. Also note that Cleveland State is a perfect 6-0 ATS in its last six following a SU loss, while Ohio State is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 non-conference contest.

The bottom line: No outright, but everything points to a competitive battle. Grab the points.

The bottom line: The BUCKS play with revenge here after getting destroyed in Portland in early November. The Blazers enter off a much tougher than expected win in New York just last night and we expect them to “check out” of this one early. Lay the points.

This is an 8* MID-MAJOR MAULING on Pacific.

Pacific enters off a confidence building 83-76 road win over Idaho State, while UNLV posted a 74-61 home win over Oakland on Friday. Note that this is a revenge game for Pacific after it fell 81-76 in this game last year. Pacific averages 77.2 PPG and it allows 72.5. UNLV averages only 65.3 PPG, but it makes up for it on the other end by allowing only 57.7. But we think the Rebels numbers are “skewed” due to the level of opening season competition. Note that PACIFIC is a near-perfect 6-1 ATS in its last seven against good defensive teams which allow 64 points or less, while UNLV is just 3-4 ATS in its last seven as a home favorite in the 3.5 to six points range. Grab the points.

This is a 10* BLOOD-BATH on the Toronto Raptors.

The Raptors got back to their winning ways with a 122-83 destruction o fthe Bulls in their most recent action and they won’t be “looking past” division leader Orlando after it destroyed New York 131-117 over the weekend. The Raptors average 116.8 PPG and they allow 108.4. The Magic are averaging only 107.5 PPG and they’re allowing 109.5. Clearly that’s not a recipe for long-term success. Note that the RAPTORS are already 5-3 ATS on the road this year and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 after allowing 85 points or less. Note as well that Orlando is just 5-6 ATS at home this season and a dismal 0-4 ATS in its last four after a three games or more SU unbeaten streak. Lay the points, play on the RAPTORS.

The bottom line: The Spurs have lost three straight and five of their last six. The goods news is, is that they’ve had two nights off to prepare for this one. The Warriors on the other hand come in off a loss in Dallas just last night and they’re down a few key pieces, including Curry and Green.

Houston is in San Antonio on Saturday night and while we’d rarely play on a team in the second game of a back to back, we don’t believe that fatigue will be a factor this close to the start of the season. These are World Class athletes. And with a game at Denver up next on Tuesday, followed by a game at home against Golden State, clearly the Rockets need to take advantage of “familiar” surroundings. Indiana on the other hand gets caught “looking ahead” to five whole nights off after this, before a home game against the Heat, the team they just beat on the road Friday. We’re banking on home floor being the difference. Lay the points, play on the ROCKETS.

The Wildcats enters off a convincing 90-60 win over Houston Baptist, but we think the Mustangs will present more of a challenge for the Pac 12 team. Cal Poly comes in off an 82-75 season opening win and we expect it to carry that momentum over here. Also note that CAL PLY SLO is 7-2 ATS in its last nine road non-conference games in which it scored 80 or more points in its previous outing. Grab the points.

The Bucks enter off a big 134-111 road victory at Golden State and with a tough game tomorrow night in Denver, we not only believe that Milwaukee has a “letdown” here, but that it also gets caught “looking ahead.” LA will look to take advantage and to bounce back after a 116-105 setback at Portland. And with Golden State coming to town on Monday, the home side won’t want to leave anything to chance here. Note as well that Milwaukee is just 2-6 ATS In its last eight after scoring 132 or more points in a road victory in its previous outing. Grab the points, play on the CLIPPERS.

This is a great situational play and it’s what we’re primarily basing this pick on. The Celtics are in Phoenix on Thursday night and with a tough game at Portland to finish their Western swing on Sunday, there’s no question in our minds that this sets up as a prime letdown spot for the C’s. The Jazz though will look to take advantage, they won’t be taking anything for granted after finally breaking a four-game slide with a convincing 117-102 victory over Dallas. And with a tough road trip starting on Monday, tonight’s contest takes on added importance. Additionally note that the JAZZ are 7-2 ATS in their last nine after scoring 115 points or more. Lay the points.

Detroit enters off an 89-76 loss to WMU, but we think it’ll be able to catch a complacent Owls team a little flat-footed here, after they posted a much tougher than expected 75-67 home win over La Salle. Clearly Temple is the better team, but Detroit is 9-2 ATS in its last 11 non-conference road games in which it comes in off a loss in which it allowed 88 points or more.

This is a 10* WEST-CONF GAME OF THE YEAR on the Memphis Grizzlies.

We think the Grizzlies will defend their home court and take down the red hot Denver Nuggets. Memphis may only be 5-4 this year and Denver 9-1, but note that the Grizz have been at their best at home by going 3-0 SU/ATS. After losing back-to-back road games, expect the home side to come in ultra-focused here. Difficult to say anything negative about Denver, but with two nights off before a game at home against the lowly Nets, all signs point to a letdown here in our opinion. Grab the points, play on the GRIZZLIES.

Look for MARSHALL to kick it into high gear in the second half and to pull away for the comfortable cover. Lay the points.

But the Knicks 3-6 record, including going 1-3 on the road sure looks a lot better than the Wizards 1-7 record, including going 0-3 at home. Clearly Washington is reeling right now, but with a tough three game trip starting on Tuesday, we’re expecting the home side to risk life and limb here to get off the schneid with a big victory. Note that Washington is 7-2 ATS in its last three after four or more straight SU losses. Lay the points, play on the WIZARDS.

This is a 10* BIG TIGER on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavs are 1-7 and the Hornets are 4-5. Cleveland finally fired coach Tyronn Lue after an 0-6 start and the team is now 1-1 under interim Larry Drew. Charlotte on the other hand has alternated good starts with bad of late. After beating a tired Miami team 125-113, Charlotte fell 111-107 at home to the Thunder in their latest outing. Cleveland’s a horrible team and it’s without its best player in Kevin Love, but it still has plenty of veteran leadership and I think the team will respond on the road. Charlotte on the other hand will enjoy two nights off before a home game against the lowly Hawks, so we think it’s going to be caught complacent and looking ahead. It’s interesting to note as well that Charlotte is just 9-21 ATS in its last 30 Saturday games. Grab the points, play on the CAVALIERS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Orlando Magic.

No need to overthink this one. The Clippers are in action in Philadelphia on Thursday and we think they’ll come in “flat footed” here. Orlando though will be laying everything on the line tonight as it tries to break a three-game slide, before a tough game in San Antonio on Sunday night. Note that the Magic are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games as well in which they come in having lost three or more straight contests. Play on the MAGIC.

This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong relevant ATS stats and common sense:

The Kings are playing “over their heads” to open the season, but after five straight victories, we’re expecting Sacramento to come up short here against a desperate Hawks team eager to get off the schneid after a three-game slide.

The bottom line: Note as well that the Kings are just 4-7 ATS in their last 11 after a four games or more unbeaten streak. Play on the HAWKS.

One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong relevant ATS stats and common sense:

After starting the year 0-5, the Thunder have won two in a row and we expect it to carry that momentum over here (especially with a game at Washington tomorrow night.) The Hornets are 6-2 to open the year and 3-0 at home, but with Cleveland coming to town next, the Hornets could easily be caught looking past their lowly non-conference opponent, and that’s exactly what we expect.

The bottom line: Note as well that the Hornets are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine after scoring 125 points or more in their previous outing. Grab the points, play on the THUNDER.

One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong relevant ATS stats and common sense:

Philadelphia’s two game win streak came to an end in a loss in Toronto last time out, but we expect the 76ers to bounce back here at home in this favorable matchup. The Clippers fell at the Thunder last time out and with a game tomorrow in Orlando, we expect LA to get caught looking ahead.

Bottom line: Note as well that Philadelphia is a super 7-2 ATS in its last nine home games in which it it gave up 128 points or more and lost in its previous outing. Lay the points, play on the 76ERS.

This is a 10* SITUATIONAL REVENGE GAME OF THE YEAR on the Brooklyn Nets.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on common sense and strong/relevant ATS stats:

As note that Detroit is just 11-19 ATS in its last 30 when playing on back-to-back days, while Brooklyn is already 4-2 ATS this year in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent.

The bottom line: The Nets have lost three straight and their desperate for a victory. They come in off a humbling loss against the Knicks and they play with revenge here after falling 103-100 in Detroit on Opening Night. The Pistons come in tired here on the second game of the back to back after falling in Boston last night. Play on the NETS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Orlando Magic.

No need to overthink this one. The King clearly look a lot better this season than they did last and they come in off an epic win over the Heat in Miami just last night. This sets up as a natural letdown spot for the young visiting side and we expect it to predictably stumble. The Magic come in focused after having time off to absorb their 113-91 road loss in Milwaukee on Saturday. Note as well that this is a “triple revenge” spot for the Magic, as the Kings have dominated this series of late. The “situational” factors working in favor of the home side here are enormous and they make the difference in the final outcome. Lay the points, play on the MAGIC.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Dallas Mavericks.

San Antonio survived a scare at home against the Lakers over the weekend and while the Mavs played just last night, we think the home side will get caught looking past its lowly opponent tonight. Note as well that Dallas is 19-13 ATS in its last 32 against the division, while San Antonio is a poor 6-8 ATS in its last 14 off an upset win as an underdog. Grab the points, play on the MAVERICKS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Chicago Bulls.

The Warriors end an extended East Coast trip tonight and while they’ve been winning, they’ve been “hit or miss” as far as being able to cover the spread. We think the defending champs, who will be resting a few starters, leave the back door open wide enough for the hungry home side to comfortably sneak in through the down the stretch. Mostly though note that Chicago has in fact performed very well in this spot for bettors by going 15-9 ATS in its last 24 following a win by ten points or more. Grab the points, play on the BULLS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Sacramento Kings.

After their big win over the Blazers on Saturday, we think the Heat get caught looking past their lowly non-conference opponent tonight. The Kings are vastly improved from last season and we think they match up well against the veteran home side. Additionally note that Sacramento is already 4-2 ATS as an underdog. Grab the points and the KINGS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

We think the 76ers get caught “looking past” their lowly opponent today. The Hawks are 15-8 ATS in their last 23 off an upset loss as a favorite, while Philadelphia is just 1-3 ATS as a fav this season. The 76ers slow start continues to go unrecognized by the bookmakers. Let’s take advantage. Play on the HAWKS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Indiana Pacers.

Portland’s hot start to the year came to a crashing halt in Miami last time out and we expect the Pacers to continue that trend. Indiana is off a win on Saturday and it’ll be out to avenge the two losses to Portland last season. Additionally note that Portland is just 19-23 ATS in its last 42 after allowing 115 points or more, while Indiana is 12-6 ATS in its last 18 after playing three consecutive road games. Lay the points, play on the PACERS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* SUPER-BLOWOUT on the San Antonio Spurs.

After going 0-3 to start the year the Lakers have won two in a row and we think they’re suddenly getting far too much respect here. San Antonio already be LA in OT earlier in the week and it’ll be out to duplicate that feat and to atone for a lacklustre home loss to the Pacers on Wednesday. LeBron has plenty of talent around him, but for the most part its quite young and still unproven. Not so for San Antonio, which is loaded with veterans and who will be out to prove a point tonight. Note that the Lakers are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine after two or more consecutive SU victories. Lay the points, play on the SPURS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* BIG TIGER on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Bucks have looked strong early, especially at home. Milwaukee’s achilles heel though has been its play on the road and we think it’ll predictably stumble here to open its Western swing. The Wolves are just 2-3 overall, but they’re 2-0 SU up at home. After a tough setback in Toronto and with the Lakers coming to town on Sunday, we think the home side rallies and takes advantage of this favorable matchup. Note that Milwaukee is just 3-6 ATS in its last nine after playing three consecutive home games, while Minnesota is already 2-0 ATS this year against good offensive teams which score 106 plus points per contest. Play on the WOLVES.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* ATS BLOOD-BATH on the Memphis Grizzlies.

After an embarrassing 111-83 Opening Night loss in Indiana, the Grizzlies bounced back with a convincing 131-117 destruction of the Hawks at home two nights later. The Grizzlies will look to keep the momentum rolling against a Jazz team which is 1-1 as well, earning a come from behind 123-117 win in Sacramento on Opening night, before then giving up a massive lead late in a crushing 124-123 setback at home to the Warriors two nights later. With a big Western road trip starting on Wednesday at Houston followed by New Orleans, Dallas and Minnesota, it’s not too hard to imagine the home side getting caught looking past its lowly opponent today as well. Play on the GRIZZLIES.

This is an 8* play on the New Orleans Pelicans.

We don't subscribe to any single handicapping methodology, but instead feel that being flexible with ones approach is the best way to secure profits over the longterm. Sometimes we keep it simple, while other times we'll take into account numerous different factors, like motivation, scheduling and significant injuries. Recognizing classic "spot bets" is something we always do as well, IE: the "look ahead" spot, the "let down" spot and the "trap" game. One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on common sense:

New Orleans steam-rolled the Rockets in Houston on Opening night and it right away hits a very “vanilla” part of its schedule, with the game against the Kings tonight, followed by two nights off before games at home against the Clippers and Brooklyn. With a big chance to jump out to an early lead in the season, we look for New Orleans to make the most of this opportunity. The Kings on the other would come up short in a heart-breaking 123-117 setback to Utah on Opening night and with a tough game at OKC on Sunday, we think the visitors also get caught “looking ahead.” Play on the PELICANS.

One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS stats:

As note that Boston is 63-42 the L2 years against clubs with winning records, while Toronto is just 41-43 ATS in the same position.

The bottom line: In what could very easily be an Eastern Conference Finals preview, we’re expecting a battle down to the final second. Grab the points, play on the CELTICS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* BIG TIGER on the Chicago Bulls.

We like the Bulls to keep this one close. This is Chicago’s first game of the year, so the team comes in focused on the task at hand, also avoiding the spot light of having to play at home right away. Philadelphia fought hard on opening night, but it was all for not in its 105-87 loss to the Celtics. Note though that the 76ers are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games as a favorite in the 11 to 13 points range. Look for the BULLS to hang around late and grab all those points.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the New Orleans Pelicans.

Last year Pelicans big man Anthony Davis posted his best season ever and he’d open the campaign with a monster first month of production. We expect a similar type thing to happen this season as well and we think he alone is a big difference maker in this contest as well. The Rockets are healthy and ready for another run at the Warriors, but we think they come out flat on Opening night. Grab the points, play on the PELICANS.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Atlanta Hawks.

New York is still without forward Kristaps Porzingis, while Tim Hardaway Jr. is a question mark heading in. Atlanta was terrible last year, but it made some significant off-season moves. Clearly the outright win isn’t out of the question, but we’re going to grab the points. Note that the HAWKS are 55-45 ATS the last two years as an underdog.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cleveland clearly won’t be the cream of the crop anymore in the Eastern Conference, but it still has talent in Kevin Love. The Cavs will be a different team moving forward, but they’re still loaded with talent and experience. They won’t go down without a fight most nights and certainly not on Opening night. The addition of Kawhi Leonard to the Raptors is likely going to improve the team, but then again, who knows? Chemistry could be an issue. No outright, but grab the points and expect a competitive affair. Play on the CAVALIERS.

One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics.

This particular play is based primarily on common sense:

We think the Pacers will be a popular pick, as they were one of the most improved teams last year. Memphis on the other hand declined perhaps more than any other team from last year to the season previous. The Grizzlies come in with a HUGE chip on their shoulder this year and they also come in healthy. On opening night, we’re expecting a battle. Grab the points, play on the GRIZZLIES.

AAA Sports

This is an 8* play on the Charlotte Hornets.

Milwaukee features one of the best young talents in the NBA, but we think a healthy Charlotte with Kemba Walker will defend home court. The Bucks achilles heel the last few seasons has been their play on the road (just 41-46 ATS last two seasons away from friendly confines and only 39-51 ATS as a favorite in the same span.) Grab the points, play on the HORNETS.

This is a 10* GAME OF THE MONTH on the Oklahoma City Thunder.

OKC was 48-34 last year and fourth in the Western Conference, while Golden State was 58-24, eventually going on to win its second straight championship. These teams split four games last year, which includes a 111-107 road win for the Warriors back on April 3rd. Suffice it to say, we’re expecting a similarly hard fought and competitive battle here as well. OKC averaged 107.9 PPG and it allowed 104.4. Golden State averaged 113.5 PPG and it allowed 107.5. The cast of characters is well known on both sides, but we think there are many external distracting factors working against the Warriors. We like the hungry THUNDER to take this one right down to the wire. Grab the points.

One set of criteria which we always use when making our decisions are Against The Spread (ATS) statistics. This particular play is based primarily on strong/relevant ATS stats and common sense. Clearly the Cavs will be risking life and limb to push for a Game 7. Home court has meant everything in this series and there’s no reason not to think that that strong trend won’t carry over here. Note as well that Boston is just 1-3 ATS in its last four after allowing 85 points or less in its previous contest, while Cleveland is 8-6 ATS in its last 14 when trailing in a playoff series. Lay the points, play on the CAVALIERS.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Boston Celtics.

We had a play on the OVER in Game 1 and then we came back with a play on the Celtics in Game 2. We’re predicting another “nail biter” in Game 3 and while we wouldn’t be completely shocked by the outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as we expect this one to come down to the wire. Boston is doing its best to slow down LeBron James, effectively doing that in Game 1, before allowing The King to do his thing in Game 2. The key of course is that the Celtics have been able to shut down LBJ’s role players. And we don’t think anything will change here. Cleveland on the other hand is unable to make any big stops whatsoever and we have a hard time seeing it simply “flipping a switch” in a matter of a couple of days and suddenly reversing that trend of futility. Boston is the deeper and more talented team despite not having a player of James’ caliber and it’s also receiving much better coaching. When you add it all up, another upset seems imminent, but as mentioned off the top, we’re grabbing the points. Play on BOSTON.

This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Golden State Warriors.

We had a play on the Warriors in Game 1 and we think they’ll find a way to get the job done in Game 2 as well. If you didn’t get a chance to read our analysis on that one, we think it’s worth a second look here, because for the most part it also directly pertains to our selection this evening: 

To be the champ, you have to beat the champ. The Rockets may have taken two of three in the regular season series, but now that the playoffs are here, we expect the fully healthy Warriors to up the ante and find a way to steal the momentum of this series right out of the gate. The difference will come from each team’s bench. As good as the Rockets looked in the regular season, they simply lack experience at this level. Not so for the Warriors, who come in seasoned and prepared. We’re expecting the outright victory, but in the end we’re going to grab as many points as we can. Play on GOLDEN STATE.

All signs point to another blowout, but grab as many points as you can. Play on the WARRIORS.

This is a 10* ART OF WAR on the Utah Jazz.

Would this series have been different if Ricky Rubio was playing? It did in the first round, but probably not in this one. Will the Rockets close out this series in front of the home town crowd as they gear up for their inevitable matchup with the Warriors? Almost assuredly. But all of that said, we expect Donovan Mitchell and company to go down fighting. The Jazz responded with a win in Game 2 after getting blown out in Game 1 and with their backs against the wall, we’re expecting a similar performance here as well. Note as well that Houston is still just 7-10 ATS in its last 17 after allowing 90 points or less. While we’re stopping short in calling for the outright upset, all signs point to the JAZZ making the Rockets earn this one. Grab the points.

AAA Sports

This is a 10* RED DRAGON on the Philadelphia 76ers.

Do we really need to overanalyze this one? We’ll be the first to admit that we’re shocked at how well the Celtics are playing. Coach Brad Stevens will surely win the Coach Of The Year Award. Fantastic guard play and big man Al Horford have been the difference makers so far in this series. Despite all of that though, and with the knowledge of being able to wrap this one up at home in Game 5, we are now finally predicting a mental/physical letdown from the over-achieving Celtics. Note that despite the Game 3 loss, Philly is still 10-7 ATS this year in trying to revenge a home loss against an opponent. The 76ers are talented, deep, hungry and desperate. No sweep in this series. Lay the points, play on PHILADELPHIA.
