The public is going to feast on the Grizzlies tonight with this short line and we'll gladly fade the masses. If you look closer, you will see this is a terrible spot for Memphis. The Grizz are in the middle of their season long road trip and are playing their 3rd game in 4 nights, with their last game being in altitude (Utah.)

The Suns have been covering machines of late at home, covering 7 of 9. They have also bounced back nicely when they have lost by double digits in their building, going 12-3 ATS. Phoenix has covered 4 of the last 5 meetings vs. Memphis. There's a reason they're only catching 4 here. Trap game of the night.

Great spot for the Knicks tonight as they catch Charlotte coming off playing Golden State at home and the Hornets have been terrible on the road this year and they have lost 11 of their last 13 as the visitors. This is the Knicks only home game in a 13 day stretch and typically NBA teams do very well in this situation. The Knicks have also gone 20-8 ATS following a spread loss and have covered 4 of their last 5 following a straight up loss in their previous game.

I apologize for the lack of write-up on these system plays. We have found a system that has done extremely well of late and we need to keep it close to the vest. Partly has do to with fading the teams the public loves for the day's card. 

I will add that Milwaukee has been a train wreck on the road, going 1-9.

Cleveland Cavaliers -11

The big thing about the NBA is motivation. It's obvious that the Warriors and Cavaliers are more talented than everyone and should win every game. However, this is real life and not a video game. Players' take nights off, they don't try as hard, and part of this is due to scheduling. The key is finding the correct spots with a very talented team that is going to play hard and motivated. I believe the Cavaliers fit the mold tonight.

Cleveland just got embarrassed by the New Orleans Pelicans. That literally should never happen. Only way that happens is if they don't try. It's sad isn't it? But it's good for us as it looks like it may set up a nice money making opportunity. They should come out fired up in front their home fans to get that game behind them. Cavaliers have done well covering the number at home against the losing teams of the league and they take on a Sacramento team that is playing their 4th road game in 6 nights. The Kings are also 0-4 ATS following a straight up win and have failed to cover the spread in the last 4 meetings against Cleveland.

Indiana Pacers vs. Los Angeles Lakers OVER 220

Two teams that play with pace and don't play any defense. The Lakers are ranked dead last in defensive efficiency and opponent FG %. Indiana has been a great over bet on the road and the over has cashed in 11 of the last 15 meetings.

Trap line of the day. Basically anything less than -3 essentially is a pick em game. So the mighty Kansas Jayhawks, who are 16-1 and ranked #2 in the country, are pickem to an 11-5 team? Like I've said 1000 times, Vegas isn't stupid, they don't give away money. It looks WAY too easy to lay the chalk and the public is going to LOVE the Jayhawks here.

If you look closer, Kansas is consistently getting over valued. They are 1-5 ATS their last 6 games overall and they are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 meetings against Iowa State. Wouldn't be shocked to see Kansas go down tonight along with the betting public.

30*

Golden State Warriors -7.5

Bookmakers are begging you to take the Cavaliers here. Don't fall for it. Golden State has had 3 days off to prepare for this game, without any travel. In fact, 7 of their last 8 games have been at Oracle with their only road contest being at Sacramento, so this team is well rested with full focus. Golden State has also been a great bet when facing the great teams of the league (.600+ winning percentage) going 17-5 ATS.

The Cavaliers have covered the spread just once in their last 7 games which includes going 1-4 on their current road trip. Cavaliers have been traveling non-stop while the Warriors have had a very favorable home schedule recently. Look for Golden State to get their revenge in blowout fashion tonight.

40* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

Utah Jazz -11

For what it's worth, this was going to be a GOY at -7 and a GOM under double digits. I know that doesn't mean much now, since the line is -11, but it shows how strongly I feel about this play.

It doesn't get much worse, from a situational stand-point, for the Pistons tonight. This is now the Pistons' 4th game in 6 nights, 3rd game in 4, and a back to back, all being road games. Not only that, but they played a double OT game vs. Portland on the 8th and they just played a TNT showcase game in Golden State. One of the toughest spots for an NBA team is playing on zero rest going into Denver or Utah. The altitude causes serious problems and by the 2nd half, players are completely drained. Detroit also lost one of their top scorers last night, KCP, so this easily could be a game the Pistons take the night off considering that they have got to be completely out of gas.

Minnesota Timberwolves +4

Love fading the most public backed side of the day. It was Cleveland last night and they got worked. Tonight, it's the Houston Rockets. Simply looks way too easy to take the visitors here.

If you look closer, you will see the situation greatly favors the Timberwolves. Houston is now playing a back to back, 3rd game in 4, and 5th game in 7 nights. This will also be their 3rd road game in 4 nights. Houston could lack energy and motivation tonight.

Minnesota has done well against the number against the good teams of the league as they are 6-1 ATS their last 7 games facing a team with a winning record. The Rockets are just 1-4 ATS the last 5 meetings as well.

40* NBA UNDERDOG OF THE WEEK

Los Angeles Lakers +2

Awful spot for the Trailblazers tonight. They are coming off a double OT loss to the Detroit Pistons Sunday and have the mighty Cavaliers on deck tomorrow at home. They recently beat the Lakers the game before the Pistons game and they may get caught looking ahead especially since they're tired.

As mentioned before, The Lakers have the quick revenge angle working for them tonight. Los Angeles has been playing well lately, winning 3 of their last 4. It's also been a great bet fading the Trailblazers on the road this season, as they are just 5-16 straight up.

Western Michigan +3.5

50* CBB Big 12 GAME OF THE YEAR

West Virginia -6

Let me get this straight...the UNDEFEATED, #1 ranked team in the Nation are 6 point underdogs? There's a reason for this folks. Like I say all the time, especially when handicapping basketball, Vegas isn't stupid. They don't give away money. The public is going to LOVE the Baylor Bears here. This is just like Villanova/Butler, when we were on Butler last week. The spread +1 and the world was on Nova. Well, Butler ended their win streak. I expect a similar result here. Some teams just match up better against you and WVU matches up with Baylor. I will say, Dub V's weakness is the charity stripe. As long as they shoot a decent % (helps that they are at home, obviously) they win going away.

40*

California ML +110

Big time public fade here. Sources and books have informed big money is coming in on the dog. The Trojans are the most public favorite of the day in the sports world, yet the line has dropped. USC is #25 with 1 loss this season and is -1.5 to a 10-5 team? This has trap written all over it. USC has never been a good favorite as they have lost (ATS) 5 of their last 6, when listed as the favorite and have failed to cover the spread in 6 straight following a straight up win.

30*

Houston Rockets vs. Toronto Raptors OVER 225

Two of the top 3 offenses in the game here. Rockets LOVE the 3 ball and if they're hitting them, they will go over ANY total. Raptors have the most efficient offense in the NBA and were the most efficient in history this season. Also, when Toronto plays the better teams of the league (.600+) they have gone over the total in 10 of 12 games. Toronto is in the Bottom 10 of the league defending the 3 and that is what Houston does so well. Toronto is playing the 2nd of a back to back and their games have gone over the total in 37 of the last 53 in this spot.

New Orleans Pelicans -2.5

Something that I have been doing for awhile, taking spreads that look completely out of whack. It's that simple. Last night we took Butler and Western Illinois solely for that reason and they came through with ease. It's the oldest trick in the book. Typically when Vegas puts out a spread that looks too easy, it is. They are begging for Atlanta bets here. So far I'm seeing 3 out of every 4 tickets on the Hawks. Situation also favors the home team as Atlanta is playing on 0 rest and traveling, when New Orleans has had 2 days off. The Pelicans started off the season slow, due to injuries, but now they are getting healthy and are playing a great brand of basketball. Expecting a big effort from Anthony Davis and company tonight.
