The Square bettors are all over the Thunder tonight as they are coming into this home game off three straight wins both SU and ATS. Look for that momentum at the betting window to come to a halt after the Wizards stick within 6 points for the ATS win. Oklahoma City has been playing some very good basketball. They are off three straight wins, including that win back on Monday against New York where they easily covered the spread on the road with a 112-103 win as 1 point road favorites. Looking back to last week they crushed Detroit 106-88 as only 4.5 point home favorites and just cashed the ATS win against Denver in a very high scoring matchup where they won 132.-129 as 2.5 point road favorites. The Thunder has shot over 50% from the field in their last three games and are due for a poor offensive performance. Don't side with the public and take the points with the Wizards! |

They are sitting at a 14-3 season, and have also been profitable at the betting window going 10-6 ATS but are only 2-5 ATS in all home games where they have been over valued all season. The Books opened up the Spurs as 14 point home favorites and despite almost 60% of the action coming in on San Antonio, the line has bumped down to 13.5 and should be down to 13 or even 12.5 by tip off. This is going to be another big let down for the public betters that are all over San Antoino. Orlando is 2-0 ATS when playing at the AT&T Center and they will add another loss to their terrible 6-11 season record but should have no problem sticking within the 13.5 points at the betting window.

Toronto at LA Clippers – the Raptors started this long road trip with a win over Denver 113-111 but had trouble last night in Sacramento losing to the Kings 102-199. They didn’t shoot very well hitting only 40% of their shots. The Clippers are rolling with a 12-2 record to start the season. They come off a home win over Chicago on Saturday 102-95 but failed to cover as an 8-point favorite. In fact they’ve failed to cover three straight. Tonight, the Clippers opened as a 7-point favorite and despite Toronto attracting the majority of the cash the line is up to 9-points.

On Monday they beat up the Sixers 109-84 easily covering as 4-point road favorites. The Hornets are off to a fast starting winning five of their first six games. On Monday they drilled the Pacers here at home 122-100. The Hornets, despite their great start, opened in this game as only 2-point favorites. So far they’ve attracted the majority of the money but the line hasn’t budged. We like the Jazz to continue their road winning streak. Play on Utah Jazz. |

San Antonio opened as a 5.5-point favorite but despite the money heavily favoring the Spurs they line has dropped to 4-points.

The only problem is that the Celtics have been really no matchup for the Cavs. The Celtics come into Cleveland tonight with a 3-1 record fresh off beating Chicago last night in Boston 107-100, covering as 3-point favorites. The Cavs were all at the Indians game last night, but will be ready to stay undefeated tonight. They demolished the Rockets here on Tuesday 128-120. However, they failed to cover as lofty 9.5-point favorites. Tonight, Cleveland opened as a 7-point favorite but the line has jumped all the way up to 10-points. Normally, the Cavs attract a majority of the money but tonight the bets are almost dead even. Look for this game to stay close for a while for the Cavs to blow out the Celtics in the second half. Cavs get the money tonight. Play on Cleveland. |

Tom Grassi 20* NBA Playoffs Signature Selection The Books opened the Thunder as -2.5 point favorites and most of the action is coming in on the Spurs (about 62%). We expect a huge bounce back win from the Thunder after that embarrassing matchup they had on Wednesday where they got blown out in Game 2. They lost by 35 points for a terrible 112-77 final score as five point road dogs. Oklahoma City was only 39% from the field while the Spurs hit 41 of 82 for 50%. Oklahoma City couldn’t find the sweet spot behind the arc either, hitting only two three pointers for a terrible 2-20 (only 10%). OKC just couldn’t get it done, hitting only five of ten free throws for a terrible 50%. The Spurs dominated Game 2 of the series and we expect the Thunder to bounce back and cash a huge win at the betting window for Game 3 to make up for that loss! OKC is 8-1 ATS against the Spurs when playing at home over the last three seasons and 27-14 ATS after losing two of their last three games. After such a poor performance, the Thunder is due for an epic victory to gain a little respect back. Lay the small amount of points with the Thunder at home! Play on Oklahoma City |

The Spurs lead the series 2-0 and the public will be loading up on them tonight. The Spurs are coming into this matchup off three straight wins, both straight up and against the spread and are due for an ATS loss. Portland on the other hand hasn’t cashed an ATS win in six straight games, but we see that losing ATS run ending tonight as they get their first win of the series. San Antonio has been playing some solid basketball, hitting over 50% from the field in their last four games including a 57% shooting night in their last matchup against Dallas. In game two of this round two series against the Blazers, they hit 60% behind the arc (12-20) for a total of 36 points. Look for the Blazers to tighten up their defensive efforts and for the Spurs to have a shockingly poor offensive night. Don’t side with “Joe Public”, and cash the Blazers at the Betting Window!

Tom Grassi 20* NBA Playoffs Nets/Heat Winner The Offshore Books opened the Heat as eight point favorites and even with slightly more action coming in on Miami, the line has bumped down a tick to seven and the hook. We expect the Nets to come out strong in this matchup tonight, and 7.5 points seems to be a few too many after such a strong win from the Heat. The Miami Heat opened up the new series with an epic 107-86 game one win as eight point favorites at the betting window. The Heat had a very strong offensive night, hitting just under 57% from the field, 39% from behind the arc and 88% from the free throw line. The Nets need to tighten up their defensive efforts and that is exactly what they will do in this second game of the best of seven series. Looking back to regular season results, the Nets did go a perfect 4-0 both straight up and against the spread against Miami. Their biggest win was back in January when they beat the heat 104-95 as 5.5 point home dogs. They also beat them twice on the road, once back early April where they won 88-87 as 7.5 point road dogs and also back in March when they won 96-95 as 9 point road dogs. We expect another strong performance like they did back in the regular season and for them to shock the public with a close matchup. The Nets probably won’t win this game two matchup, but we expect them to stick within the 7.5 point number. The Heat are due for an ATS loss as they are coming in off three straight ATS wins and have covered four of their last five. Brooklyn was due for a loss after having a tough seven game series against Toronto and coming into that game one matchup off back to back wins and three straight ATS covers. The Nets are 26-17 ATS when revenging a loss to an opponent and 10-2 ATS off a road loss by ten points or more this season. Don’t side with the public as everyone and their brother will be expecting another huge double digit blowout. Take the points! Play on Brooklyn |

Bradley Beal and John Wall proved to be too quick, too athletic, and more energized than a slumping Indiana squad. With the Vegas line opening at 4.5, and remaining at 4.5, most pundits are feeling that this is a must win game for Indiana, and with home court are a strong play but we expect another solid performance from the Wizards. The eyes don’t lie, and Washington is the more focused team, and Indiana is in full panic mode. Considering we scored as many points as Roy Hibbert in Game 1, and the generous folks in Vegas will continue to give 4+ point with the Wiz, TAKE THE POINTS! Play on Washington |

Tom Grassi 20* NBA Playoffs Nets/Heat Side Winner Tom Grassi 20* NBA Playoffs Wizards/Pacers Side Winner The Books opened the Pacers as 4.5 point home favorites and we expect a close game but Indiana should have some trouble with the cover. The Wizards have been playing some good basketball and have some decent momentum moving into game one of the new series. Indiana is coming off back to back wins over Atlanta but they should have never let the series go to seven games. They suffered a few embarrassing losses, including game 1 in the first round, where they lost 101-93 as huge 8.5 point home favorites. In Game three they lost 98-85 as two point favorites and suffered another double digit loss in game five, losing 107-97 as once again big seven point favorites. The Wizards on the other hand, almost swept the first series against the Bulls, and finishing the first round in only five games. They only lost one matchup to Chicago and that was a close 100-97 home loss. Washington has been very profitable on the road all season and they have continued their huge run at the betting window over the past few weeks as they are coming into tonight’s matchup on a 8-1 winning run, both straight up and against the spread. Taking a look at season long stats, the Wizards are 46-39 for the season and 29-15 ATS in all road games. Look for them to continue this trend tonight and cash another ATS Winner. The Pacers had a strong 60-29 season but looking at against the spread records, they are four games under .500 with a 42-46 ATS season record. They have been really falling apart throughout the playoffs and we expect them to come out with another shockingly poor performance tonight. It seems the books wanted to trap as many public players as possible with that short home line and we are not falling for it. The Wizards are a solid 27-17 ATS as an underdog this season and are a very solid 21-12 ATS when playing as a road dog. They have some rest coming into this matchup as their last game was back on April 29th and the Pacers are only coming off two days of rest as they finished off game seven this past Saturday. Take the four points with the Wizards. Play on Washington |

The Books have opened the Pacers as six point favorites and despite about 60% of the action coming in on the Hawks, the line has moved up to the Pacers being favored by six and the hook. Indiana started off the series playing some bad basketball but look for them to finish the series with a very strong home win! Indiana is coming off a nice 95-88 road win over Atlanta as two point dogs and we expect them to have an even better performance tonight at the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Looking back to game 2 of the best of seven series, the Pacers had no problem crushing Atlanta 101-85 as 7.5 point favorites and we expect a replay of that matchup. The Pacers played some strong defense in game six, and we expect the save effort tonight. The Hawks have a rough long term road record in playoffs games, as they are only 12-28 ATS in that situation. The Pacers are 44-30 ATS as 3.5 to 9.5 point favorites over the last two seasons, and even laying 6.5 points in this game seven matchup, we see them having no problem covering at the betting window.

Even with more action coming in on the Bulls, the line has bumped down a tick to 5 at a couple books. Taking a look at game one of the best of seven series, the Bulls got crushed 102-93 as 4.5 point home favorites. The Bulls only hit 42% from the field and were slacking on defense as the Wizards were shooting almost 50%. Chicago was only 25% behind the three point line hitting only five of 20 attempts. The Wizards are 5-1 ATS when playing against the Bulls at the United Center including a huge 102-88 outright blowout back in January when the Bulls were laying 2.5 points at home. They are 15-7 ATS when playing as a decent underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season while the Bulls are only 19-38 ATS when playing as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points. The Wizards have been somewhat profitable this season at the betting window, especially on the road. They are 43-38 ATS in all games and have a very solid 27-15 ATS road record.

Charlotte gets a taste of playoff basketball today when they go to Miami to take on the Heat. Unfortunately for the Bobcats the Heat slipped to the second seed and they open up against the two time defending champs. The last time Charlotte was in the playoffs was in the 2008-09 season when they were swept by the Magic. Miami didn’t play very well to finish the season losing five of their last six games. They apparently weren’t worried about the number one seed as they wanted to get Wade and a few others some much needed rest. And the way the Pacers are playing it doesn’t appear like the Heat will need the top seed. We’re passing on the side in this contest, but instead playing the game under the total. These two teams met four times this season with three of the four games going over, including the last three. However, prior to those three going over the previous six had gone under. This game opened with a 189.5 point total but has dropped to as low as 187 points at some books. We going with the money as Miami is well rested for this game and we look for them to play their smothering defense today. Play Miami and Charlotte Under |

The Grizzlies are sitting at a solid 50-32 season while OKC is 59-23. OKC has only lost 7 games at home all season and should have a very strong performance in game one of the series. They are having a profitable season with a 43-38 ATS record and at home they are six games over .500 against the spread with a 23-17 ATS home record. Memphis on the other hand is only 36-43 ATS for the season and are one game under .500 on the road with a 19-20 ATS road record. Memphis is coming into this matchup on a very strong five game winning streak but they are due for a loss and are only 1-8 ATS when coming off four or more consecutive wins this season. They only beat OKC one time so far this season in four meetings but that was back in January. The first game of the season OKC beat Memphis 116-100 as six point road favorites and then in February beat them twice, 86-77 as eight point home favorites and 113-107, missing the cover in that last matchup as they were laying seven points at home. Last year the Memphis Grizzlies eliminated the Thunder in five games as Russel Westbrook was out due to the right knee injury. This year is going to be completely different, as you may see the Grizzlies get eliminated in the same fashion as OKC did last year. Expect a high speed matchup with OKC leading the pace and Memphis struggling to keep up. Play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |

Atlanta is coming off a decent 105-97 win over the Celtics, hitting over 52% from the field and have really turned things around over the last week with four wins out of their last six matchups which follows a terrible 6 game losing streak. They will keep the momentum going tonight with a strong offensive effort and should have no problem sticking within the 4.5 points at the betting window. The Nets were on a nice little streak that ended on Wednesday with their road loss to the Orlando Magic 115-111 as five point favorites. This puts them in a bad situation tonight since they are only 5-17 ATS when coming off a loss by six points or less over the last two seasons. The Atlanta Hawks are getting close to locking up the Eastern Conference’s final playoff spot. This could possibly be the first home loss for the Nets in about two months and if not it will be a close game with the Hawks stealing the ATS win. Don’t side with the public and take the points with the Hawks. Play on Atlanta |

04-09-14 | Charlotte Bobcats v. Washington Wizards -5.5 | 94-88 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Tom Grassi 20* NBA Division Game of the Month
The Washington Wizards are coming off a miserable loss to the Chicago Bulls. They lost 96-78 as two point home favorites, only hitting 39.5% from the field. They host the Bobcats tonight and opened as 4.5 point favorites but despite over 57% of the action coming in on the Bobcats who are playing some solid basketball as of late, the line has moved up to the Wizards being favored by 5.5 points. The Bobcats are also coming off a poor shooting performance, only hitting 37.4% from the field but still won outright over the Cleveland Cavaliers in that matchup. They beat them 96-94 as small three point road dogs which added to their three game winning streak, making them 4-0 (Both straight up and against the spread). They are due for a loss and it is going to come tonight! The Sharps are all over the Wizards tonight who unlike the Bobcats, are due for a winner after such an embarrassing loss to the Bulls. The Wizards are in a revenge situation tonight after getting beat by the Bobcats 100-94 back on 3/31. That puts them in a solid situation since they are 54-39 ATS when revenging a loss to an opponent and also 19-5 ATS when revenging a loss where the opponent scored 100 points or more. The Bobcats are only 13-24 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and 38-57 ATS when coming off an ATS Win. The gravy train ends for the Bobcats tonight… Lay the points with the Wizards! Play on Washington |

04-06-14 | Utah Jazz +12 v. Golden State Warriors | 102-130 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
Tom Grassi 20* NBA Smart Money
The Books opened up Golden State as huge 12.5 point favorites and the public has jumped all over them with about 72% of the action on the Warriors. With all that square money on Golden State, you would assume the line would stick right around 12.5 or possibly move up to 13 but it has bumped down a tick to 11.5 at most books. The Public is going to be let down again tonight as 11.5 is still too many points for the Warriors to cover. Utah is coming off a decent win over New Orleans 100-96 as small two point home dogs. They hit over 50% from the field which is the first time since the end of Febuary when they beat the Phoenix suns 109-86 as two point home favorites. Look for them to come out strong tonight and keep it within the 11.5 points for a cover at the betting window! Golden State is coming off a ridiculous win over Sacramento, destroying them 102-69! That is a 33 point win and with them laying nine points, they covered the spread by a solid 24 points. Don’t expect another epic performance from the Warriors tonight. In their last meeting, which took place at the end of January, the Jazz kept it right within the points and covered the spread. They lost 95-90 but were getting six points at home and took the ATS win! Watch as they keep it within the number again tonight and shock the public with back to back covers. Go against all that square money and take the points! Play on Utah |

04-04-14 | Oklahoma City Thunder v. Houston Rockets -2.5 | 107-111 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Tom Grassi 20* NBA Signature Selection
The Rockets opened as 2.5 point home favorites and with almost 75% of the money coming in on the Thunder, we expected the line to bump up a point or two but it has stuck right at the opening number and has even dropped a tick to 2 at a few books. The public is loading up on the Thunder and will be let down when the Rockets cash this one at the betting window as small home favorites. OKC is playing some solid basketball, especially after that strong win over San Antonio 106-94 yesterday as 3.5 point home favorites. That puts them in a bad spot tonight after such strong performance. They are coming into this road trip on a three game winning streak and have won 9 of their last 11 straight up and only missed one cover in their last five matchups. They are due for a loss and Houston should have no problem ending their winning streak. The Rockets, who are coming into this matchup off three straight losses are due for a win and are in a revenge situation after getting beat by Oak City 106-98 as five point road dogs back in March. Look for them to come out strong this evening with a very solid performance. Play on Houston |

04-01-14 | Golden State Warriors +4 v. Dallas Mavericks | 122-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Tom Grassi 15* NBA Dog of the Week The Books opened up the Mavericks as 4.5 point favorites and despite over 65% of the money coming in on Dallas, the line has moved down a tick to 4 points. The Squares are all over Dallas at home while the sharp money is coming in heavy on Golden State. The Warriors look to bounce back after that terrible loss to New York. They were laying seven points at home in that matchup and they lost outright 89-84, only hitting 35% from the field. Dallas is coming off back to back ATS losses but will make it three in a row tonight. They almost lost to Sacramento in their last matchup, winning by only 3 points (103-100) as double digit home favorites (-12). Look for them to struggle in this matchup like they did in their last meeting against the Warriors where they suffered a 23 point loss (108-85) as 5.5 point road dogs. Golden State is 18-8 ATS when coming off a home loss and will cash this one at the betting window tonight. Play on Golden State |

03-31-14 | Milwaukee Bucks +6.5 v. Detroit Pistons | 111-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Tom Grassi 20* NBA Smart Money
A pair of lottery-bound Central Division foes take the court in the NBA tonight as the Detroit Pistons host the Milwaukee Bucks, with both teams looking to wipe out Saturday blowout losses out of their mind. While the Bucks’ defeat came at home against Miami, the Pistons would especially like to forget the fact that theirs came at Philadelphia, helping put an end to the Sixers’ 26-game losing streak. Despite Milwaukee’s loss, the team has been one of the better wagers in the second half of the season, covering in 18 of their 26 contests, including a 9-3 ATS mark in their last 12 road games. They also have been able to cover in six of their last eight divisional clashes. This marks the fourth meeting between the two squads this year, with the Pistons holding a 2-1 advantage. However, in their last meeting on January 22, the Bucks came away with a three-point home upset win, and Detroit is not a team that has been able to take advantage of the revenge angle, managing a weak 7-16 ATS mark in that situation. Detroit has gotten close to three-quarters of the early money, with the line inching up at most offshore books by a half-point. However, given Milwaukee’s success against the line on the road, the amount of points they’re getting from a team like the Pistons seems a bit much, so we’ll take the points here. Play Milwaukee |
