50* NBA Blowout GAME OF THE MONTH

Detroit Pistons -5

Love this spot for the Pistons tonight. Detroit got smacked around just a few games ago against the Pacers, so you know this matchup is in their minds to avenge that previous loss. You always remember who blew you out on your home floor and I don't expect Detroit to take them lightly this evening. The Pistons have been lights out in revenge games this season. They have covered all 3 of their games after losing the first meeting this year.

Indiana is in a prime let down spot here. They are just 0-4 ATS following a double digit win and they are just 4-13 SU/ATS on the road this season. To make matters worse, the Pacers are a dreadful 0-7 ATS going on the road after a home victory.

30* NBA Monday BEST BET

Oklahoma City Thunder +2

This play is mostly a fade of the Milwaukee Bucks. They come off a dominating blowout win against their division rival, Chicago Bulls, and Milwaukee has not done well in this spot. The Bucks have covered the spread just one time in their last 5 games coming off a straight up win of 10+ and are 20-44 ATS coming off a divisional upset win. They have not done well against the Thunder either, going 1-5 against the number at home and they are just 10-21 ATS in the last 31 meetings. Oladipo is back for the Thunder and this gives a huge boost to the OKC defense to shutdown the Bucks and takes some of the pressure off of Westbrook.

30* NBA OFFENSIVE SHOWCASE

Indiana Pacers vs. Washington Wizards OVER 213

The Wizards have become a clear cut over team with 11 of their last 14 games going over the total. They can play fast with Wall driving the lane and Beal shooting a ton of three pointers. However, they don't give the greatest effort on the defensive end and typically take games off on any given night. The Pacers are allowing over 110 points on the road this season and the over has cashed in 7 of the last 8 meetings. We also have an over head referee, Mitchell Ervin, who is 9-2 to the over when the line is 205+.

50* CBB TOTAL OF THE MONTH

Virginia vs. Louisville UNDER 121.5

This may be an obvious or "square" play but you can not ignore these incredible numbers. Both these teams play at a snail's pace and focus on strap down defense. In my opinion, the two best defenses in the entire country are going at it tonight. UVA plays the SLOWEST pace of any team in the nation and are the 2nd best in defensive shooting percentage. Louisville is right behind them in 5th and have the third most blocks in the country. The Cardinals have yet to score 60+ against the Cavaliers and in three of their losses, they didn't even eclipse the 50 point mark. I expect their offensive struggles to continue against Virginia as UVA is only allowing 47.2 points per game this season.

This is a trend lovers dream to back the under. In a nutshell, UVA goes under on the road (18-7) and as an underdog (42-19) and UL goes under at home (36-13-3) and as a favorite (27-11-2). There is not one statistic, trend, or situation that says over here tonight. I believe the 1st half UNDER 56 is worth a look as well.

Brooklyn Nets vs. Houston Rockets OVER 228.5

Personally placing half the wager on 1st Half over 112. Houston could blow the doors off this team and if the benches play the entire 4th quarter, scoring could slow.

These two teams shoot the most 3 pointers a game in the NBA. Brooklyn has the worst defense and Houston has the 2nd best offense. As long as both teams don't go completely ice cold from distance, this should soar over because this game may turn into a 3 point competition.

50* CBB VEGAS INSIDER

Long Beach State -8

This is the definition of a "fishy" line or a line that's "too good to be true." Vegas doesn't give away money. 9 times out of 10, when a line is like this, Vegas is right. They are begging for Pepperdine money here. A 1-9 LBSU team is laying 3 possessions? Well if you look closer, this team has played one hell of a schedule. They have played 9 straight on the road which included games vs. Kansas, Wichita State, Louisville, UNC, UCLA, and Washington. Obviously they didn't win any of these games but now they are battle tested and they'll be a much better team for it. As they say, "you only get smarter by facing a smarter opponent." Some home cooking is exactly what LBSU needs and they have done extremely well at home. This is just their 2nd home game this season (they won their first by 36) and they get to face a Pepperdine team playing their first true road game of the year. Long Beach has covered 4 straight as a home favorite and Pepperdine has lost 4 straight on the road against the number. I expect the 49ers to win by double digits tonight.

30*

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Houston Rockets OVER 221

I like a 1st half OVER wager better and will be playing for 2% and 1% full game.

These two teams opened the season against each other on ESPN and it was a track meet. A see saw, up and down the floor offensive showcase where defense was an after thought. Why should this game be any different. The over is 4-1 and 8-3 in Houston and both teams rank towards the bottom on defense and the Rockets are #2 on offense.

20*

Charlotte Hornets -5

Big time revenge spot here for Charlotte as Detroit handed them their worst loss of the season just a week ago. The Pistons are playing their 2nd of a back to back, after beating Chicago last night at home. Detroit is much worse on the road, going 4-8 with a score differential of -3.6 points.

If you are getting this one late, I would only play now for 2%. Anything at -3 or less would be a 5%. Consider now doing a ML parlay with San Antonio. Awful spot here for Houston, having to play a back to back in the altitude, coming off a double OT victory against the best team in the league.

40* NBA Top Play SHOOTOUT

New York Knicks vs. Minnesota Timberwolves OVER 211

A couple of my NBA totals experts love this over. The Knicks are better offensively on the road and have been on an over tear. The T'Wolves are 2nd worst in the league in opponent's shooting % and give up way to many easy buckets and open looks. Both New York and Minnesota rank towards the bottom in Defensive efficiency. Two teams that don't play any defense in this one...should be a see-saw battle tonight.

20*

Marshall ML -118

Big time revenge spot here for Marshall as Ohio crushed them their meeting. Ohio is the type of team that just chucks of multiple jump shots. When they are on, look out, but if they go remotely cold, they can get blown out. I'm expecting the latter tonight since it's tough getting into a shooting rhythm away from your home rims. Taylor is back for Marshall and just asking them to win at home seems like a no brainer.

30*

Maryland -4

First true road game for Pittsburgh and Maryland has been dynamite at home. The Pitt Panthers have not fared well against the number on the road or against the Big 10. They are 1-5 and 0-8 respectively. They have also gone 11-40 ATS following a straight up win. Going to ride the hot streak with the Terrapins here, looking for their 8th win in a row.

20*

Pittsburgh vs. Maryland UNDER 143.5

Both teams are trending towards the under here. Only way this game goes over is if we have referees that call fouls every time down the floor. Pittsburgh is a dead nuts under team, going 10-1 following a win, 10-2 on the road, 9-2 as a dog, and 15-6 their last 21 games overall.

The Terps are 22-8 to the under in their last 30 games and are 20-6 following a straight up win. They have also gone under the posted total in 19 of their last 26 games as a favorite. We have Pitt, who goes under when they are the dog and on the road, and Maryland who goes under when they are the favorite and at home. Only way to look in this game.

30*

Sacramento Kings +5

40*

Florida State -9.5

The public is all over Minnesota here looking for some easy money. A 6-0 team getting 9.5 points?! When it looks to good to be true, it usually is. If you look closer you will see that Minnesota has been awful against the number as an underdog and on the road. They have lost 4 straight ATS as dogs, are 7-21 ATS on the road, and 8-24 ATS as a road dog. Look for Minnesota's road struggles to continue here tonight.

40* NBA Top Play PARLAY

Miami Heat vs. Philadelphia 76ers UNDER 198

The Heat just do not give up triple digits. If that somehow happens, they step up big time defensively the next game. They have allowed over 100 points only twice this season and in the next game, they allowed 94 and 96 (96 was an OT game also.) Miami is 3rd best in the NBA in defensive efficiency but 4th worst in offensive efficiency. Furthermore, they are 23rd in PACE (grades amount of possessions per game.)They are exactly what you look in an under team. The Heat are going up against the 2nd worst offensive efficient team tonight in the 76ers, who have a horrendous team FG% and FT%. If Miami gives 100% effort tonight, they should completely shut down the woeful 76ers.

40* CBB BLOWOUT GAME OF THE WEEK

Arkansas-Little Rock -10

Idaho should get run out of the gym here. I know it's only their 3rd game of the season but they are shooting 31.6% from the floor, 41% from the line, and 15% from distance. In order to win, especially on the road, you have to make your free throws and make timely three point buckets. Obviously this team can't do that. They have also lost 5 straight road games against the spread.

Little Rock will be BUMPIN tonight. It's veteran's night and they have an 18 game home winning streak, so this team has an excellent HFA. They are also averaging nearly 100 points per game and have the 4th high FG% in the nation. We have a team that is on fire offensively facing a team that can't hit the broad side of a barn. This should get ugly quick.

40* NBA TNT GAME OF THE WEEK

Miami Heat -2

Not all trends mean the same or are relevant, but there are a few key trends that I really focus on in the NBA. This game features almost all of them. These include how teams perform after big wins/losses, scheduling spots, being tired, home/road splits, and offensive performances.

Miami is coming off a double digit loss and they bounce back well. They are 6-1 ATS in this spot. They are also 12-4 ATS at home.

Chicago is now in the AWFUL back to back, 3 in 4, and 5 games in 7 nights set. They are 5-11 ATS on the 2nd of a back to back and have failed to cover the spread in 4 straight games after scoring 100 points. This shows that this team doesn't put solid back to back offensive games together and now this makes it even worse since they are tired.

The big story line here is Dwayne Wade. Most will view this game as Wade laying out some punishment to his former team. I expect the Heat to prove that they don't need Wade and they will come out fired up. Miami is also well rested with this just being their 2nd game in 5 nights.

Tough spot here for Portland playing on a back to back, following a shootout against the mighty Warriors. The Blazers have failed to cover the spread in 10 of their last 12 games after scoring 100 points. The Suns are starved for a win but have played well (2-2 ATS.) They have also done great following a spread and blowout loss. They have covered the spread in 8 straight following a spread loss and are 38-16-2 after a double digit defeat.

20*

Dallas Mavericks +4.5

Looking for a letdown here from the Jazz. Not many teams can say they got a W from the Spurs at home. Although it is their home in Utah, they have to play a back to back in the altitude. Dallas has always been a great team, against the number, on the road against winning competition. They have also gotten the money in 4 of the last 5 meetings in Utah.

Charlotte Hornets -12.5
