02-08-17	Jazz v. Pelicans OVER 201.5		127-94	Win	100	12 h 47 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Utah Jazz have the best scoring defense in the NBA, allowing just 95.4 points per game. They're coming off a high-scoring affair in a 120-95 win at Atlanta though, and the over is 7-1 in Utah's last eight games following a straight up win. The New Orleans Pelicans are allowing 106.4 points per game and the over is 7-3 in their last 10 overall. All of the last six meetings at Smoothie King Center have gone over the total, and I expect this to sail over the total as well.
02-08-17	Heat +3.5 v. Bucks	Top	106-88	Win	100	21 h 37 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Milwaukee Bucks had dropped five in a row prior to a 137-112 win at Phoenix on Saturday. They're just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game though and I think they'll come up short here against a red hot Miami side. The Heat are playing excellent basketball right now, coming off 11 straight wins and they're 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Miami won't keep winning forever (obviously), but I don't think the Bucks will be the team to beat them in the state they're in at the moment. The fact that we're getting points on the visitors is just a bonus.
02-06-17	Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 213.5		87-110	Loss	-110	12 h 14 m	Show
Late Night NBA - Mavs/Nuggets Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 4-1 in the Dallas Mavericks' last five games and they've averaged 107 points per game through four consecutive victories. Tonight they'll visit a Denver Nuggets team that has a 35-14-1 over/under record on the season, and the over is 9-1-1 in the Nuggets' last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Five of the last six head-to-head matchups at Pepsi Center have gone over the total, the most recent a 117-107 Denver win back in December. I expect another high-scoring encounter tonight.
02-06-17	Heat +100 v. Wolves		115-113	Win	100	9 h 17 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Miami Heat Rating: 8/10* The Miami Heat are winners of 10 straight contests, and they're 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games. Tonight they'll visit a Minnesota Timberwolves squad that has dropped three straight and covered the spread just once in their last eight games. The Heat are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven head-to-head meetings with Minnesota. Take the red hot visitors here at Target Center Monday night.
02-06-17	Jazz v. Hawks -118	Top	120-95	Loss	-118	11 h 11 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Jazz/Hawks BEST BET Play: Atlanta Hawks Rating: 10/10* The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a 113-86 thrashing of the Magic, and I think they'll keep rolling here as they seek revenge for a 95-68 loss at Utah back in November. The Jazz are coming off a pair of wins as home favorites against Milwaukee and Charlotte, but they're 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games and 2-11 ATS as an underdog overall this season. Take the home team to come out ahead in this contest.
02-05-17	Blazers v. Thunder -4.5	Top	99-105	Win	100	14 h 39 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Blazers/Thunder BEST BET Play: OKC Thunder Rating: 10/10* The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday afternoon, and I think this looks like a good spot for the home team. The Thunder snapped a three-game skid with a 114-102 win as a 1-point underdog against Memphis on Friday to improve to 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. They're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and should be able to handle a Trail Blazers team that is 8-18 SU on the road. The Thunder will be looking to revenge a 114-95 loss at Portland back in December, and they had covered the spread in four straight meetings prior to that contest. Lay the points on the home team.
02-05-17	Clippers v. Celtics OVER 222		102-107	Loss	-105	3 h 15 m	Show
NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Los Angeles Clippers are coming off a 133-120 loss to Golden State. They've really struggled on the defensive end lately without injured Chris Paul, and the over is 5-0 in their last five overall. Here they'll take on a Celtics team that has seen the total number of points go over the posted number in 11 of its last 15 home at TD Garden, and the over 4-1 in the last five when hosting the Clippers. Look for this contest to go over the total.
02-04-17	Bucks v. Suns -107		137-112	Loss	-107	10 h 15 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Phoenix Suns Rating: 8/10* The Phoenix Suns snapped a five-game skid with a 105-103 win at Sacramento last night. They're 5-2 ATS in their last seven games playing on no rest, and I like their chances of recording back-to-back victories with a win here against the reeling Bucks. Milwaukee has lost five straight and 10 of their past 11 games. They took a 121-117 beating at Denver last night and are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games playing on no rest. The Bucks are a terrible 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games overall and the favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings with the Suns. I like the Suns to build on the momentum from Friday's victory.
02-04-17	Grizzlies v. Wolves OVER 202.5		107-99	Win	100	10 h 13 m	Show
Late Night NBA Grizzlies/Wolves Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Memphis Grizzlies have the third best scoring defense in the NBA, but the bookmakers have set the total way too low in their recent games with each of the Grizzlies last five going over the total. I think we get a good number again here on Saturday when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves who have played four consecutive overs. Both teams played last night, Minnesota fell 116-108 at Detroit while Memphis lost 114-102 at Oklahoma City. I think both teams will struggle to bring the intensity needed on the defensive end of the court, and I think we'll see this game fly over the total.
02-04-17	Pistons v. Pacers OVER 210	Top	84-105	Loss	-110	18 h 14 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Pacers/Pistons HOT PICK Play: Over Rating: 10/10* Both the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers were in action last night. Indiana picked up a 106-97 win at Brooklyn while Detroit defeated Minnesota 116-108 home at The Palace. I think we'll see a high-scoring contest here with both teams at the back-end of a back-to-back set. Over is 13-3 in the Pistons last 16 overall and 8-2 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. We can also note that the over is 5-1 in the Pistons games with a total greater than or equal to 210 points. The Over is 7-1 in the Pacers last eight vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 10-4 in the last 14 meetings with Detroit. There's always a risk of sloppy defending when playing on no rest, and that's what I think we'll see here. Take the over.
02-04-17	Arkansas v. Missouri OVER 148		78-83	Win	100	5 h 24 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 3-1 in the Arkansas Razorbacks' last four games, but under is 9-3 in their last 12 road games. Here they'll visit a Missouri Tigers team coming off an embarrassing 93-54 loss at Florida, and the under is 5-1 in the Tigers' last six games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. I think we'll see this game go under the posted number.
02-03-17	Mavs v. Blazers OVER 206.5	Top	108-104	Win	100	19 h 19 m	Show
Top Rated NBA LATE SHOW Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Dallas Mavericks rank dead last in the NBA for scoring this season, but they've played great ball of late averaging 107.5 ppg while winning five of the last six. The Portland Trail Blazers are averaging a healthy 109.2 pgg home at Moda Center on the season and 110.8 ppg on a five-game homestand they'll conclude tonight. Portland is coming off a 115-98 win against Charlotte, and the over is 13-4 in Trail Blazers last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Over is 3-1 for Portland in a home game where where the total is between 205 and 209.5 points this season, and I look for this one to fly over as well.
02-03-17	Grizzlies v. Thunder OVER 203.5		102-114	Win	100	12 h 51 m	Show
NBA Grizzlies/Thunder Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Memphis Grizzlies have played four straight overs, all on the road. They're coming off a 119-99 win at Denver on Wednesday and the over is 4-1 in Grizzlies' last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Oklahoma City Thunder will be looking to bounce back from a 128-100 loss to Chicago, and the over is 4-0 in Thunder's last four games following a double-digit loss at home. Memphis has the third best scoring defense in the NBA, but the Grizzlies tend to open up on the road and the over is 17-8-1 in their games away from home this season.
02-03-17	Wolves v. Pistons OVER 211		108-116	Win	100	11 h 51 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Minnesota Timbervolwes have played three consecutive overs, and they had scored 103 points or more in six straight games before a 125-97 loss to a fired up Cleveland team on Wednesday. Tonight they'll face a Detroit Pistons side that has played six straight overs. Over is 6-1 in Pistons last seven Friday games and 7-0 in their last seven home games. I think we'll see fireworks at The Palace tonight.
02-02-17	Gonzaga -8.5 v. BYU		85-75	Win	100	11 h 5 m	Show
Late Night CBB Play: Gonzaga Rating: 8/10* The Gonzaga Bulldogs will visit Brigham Young Cougars Thursday night, and I think we'll see a blowout win for the visitors. Gonzaga is a perfect 22-0 SU on the season and 7-1 ATS in its last eight road games. The Zags routed Pepperdine 96-49 on the road on Saturday and are 6-0 ATS in their last six games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. They'll face a BYU team that has won three of its last four, but failed to cover the 11-point spread in a 85-77 home win against LSU on Saturday. The Cougars are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win and 0-5 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. I don't like their chances in this matchup.
02-02-17	Lakers v. Wizards -11	Top	108-116	Loss	-110	18 h 49 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Lakers/Wizards BEST BET Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* No team is hotter in the NBA than the Washington Wizards as they've won 12 of their last 14 games, averaging 111 points during that span. They easily dismissed the Knicks 117-101 at home Tuesday to make it 15 straight wins at Verizon Center, and they're 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The LA Lakers are coming off a dramatic 120-116 home win against Denver on Tuesday, but they're just 2-6 in their last eight on the road and 4-7 ATS off a home win on the season. Washington is 15-6 ATS as a home favorite on the season, and I think the Wizards will take care of business here and win big.
02-01-17	Clippers v. Suns OVER 220.5		124-114	Win	100	11 h 39 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The LA Clippers have dropped four of their last five games, allowing an average of 119.4 points per game during that span. Tonight they'll visit the Phoenix Suns who are allowing an average of 112.1 ppg this season and have a 32-16 over/under record. Over is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings in Arizona, and I predict another high-scoring contest tonight.
02-01-17	Florida State +3 v. Miami (Fla)		75-57	Win	100	8 h 38 m	Show
CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Florida State Seminoles Rating: 8/10* The Florida State Seminoles will be looking to find their way back into the win column after back-to-back defeats as favorites at Georgia Tech and Syracuse. They're on the road again Wednesday night, but at least back home in Florida and they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. They'll take on a Miami-Florida Hurricanes team that is coming off back-to-back wins and upset North Carolina 77-62 as a 5.5-point dog their last time out. Let down spot here, and they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. The underdog is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings, and I'm taking the points on the Seminoles in this contest.
02-01-17	Raptors v. Celtics -5.5		104-109	Loss	-110	9 h 10 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 8/10* The Boston Celtics are playing well at the moment, and they head into this contest looking for their first five-game winning streak of the season. They're coming off a 113-109 home win against Detroit on Monday and are 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 games playing on one days rest. They'll host a Toronto Raptors squad that won 108-106 in overtime against New Orleans last night, the Raptors mere second win in their last eight games. Boston will be looking to revenge a 114-106 loss at Toronto on January 10, and I think the Celtics will come through with a big performance tonight. Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in the series and the Raptors are 4-10-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Boston. Lay the points on the home favorite.
02-01-17	Pacers -2.5 v. Magic	Top	98-88	Win	100	19 h 54 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Indiana Pacers Rating: 10* The Indiana Pacers look to make it four wins on the bounce when they visit the Orlando Magic Wednesday night. They're coming off a 120-101 win against Houston on Sunday, and they're 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games playing on two days rest. The Pacers have already defeated the Magic twice this season (by an average of 16 points) and they're 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in the series. Orlando has dropped 11 of its last 14 games. The Magic are just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games. Lay the points on the Pacers.
01-31-17	Hornets v. Blazers OVER 214	Top	98-115	Loss	-110	22 h 60 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Hornets/Blazers BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Portland Trail Blazers will host the Charlotte Hornets Tuesday night, and I think we'll see a high-scoring contest. Under is 7-2 in Charlotte's last nine overall, but 6-1 in their road games with a total greater than or equal to 210 this season. The Hornets have allowed at least 109 points each game through four consecutive losses. The over is 23-15 in Blazer games when the total is greater than or equal to 210 this season. Portland has gotten its scoring touch back and averaged 113.8 ppg through it last four contests. C.J. McCollum is shooting 57.8 percent from the field during that span.
01-31-17	Thunder +9 v. Spurs		94-108	Loss	-110	20 h 40 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: OKC Thunder Rating: 8/10* The San Antonio Spurs are struggling at the moment, coming off back-to-back losses to Dallas and New Orleans, I think they'll bounce back with a win here against the Oklahoma City Thunder, but I don't think they'll cover the spread. The Thunder had won three straight prior to a 107-91 loss at Cleveland on Sunday. They're 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Thunder are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in the series. Take the points on the visitors.
01-31-17	Thunder v. Spurs UNDER 211		94-108	Win	100	17 h 54 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The San Antonio Spurs are struggling at the moment, coming off back-to-back losses to Dallas and New Orleans. The over is 13-3 in Spurs last 16 home games, but here they'll take on another defensively sound team in the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder are coming off a 107-91 loss to Cleveland, and the under is 5-1 in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings at AT&T Center.
01-31-17	Toledo v. Ball State OVER 160		80-81	Win	100	9 h 21 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 6-1 in the Toledo Rockets last seven overall and 6-0 in Ball State Cardinals' last six overall. Over is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings between the two teams. Let's go with the over in this contest.
01-30-17	Georgia State v. South Alabama OVER 143		83-80	Win	100	10 h 52 m	Show
CBB Total (50% OFF) Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 7-1 in the Georgia State Panthers last eight overall and 7-3 in the South Alabama Jaguars last 10 overall. I think this will be another high-scoring contest.
01-30-17	Pistons v. Celtics -6		109-113	Loss	-109	9 h 8 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 8/10* The Boston Celtics look to make it four wins on the bounce when they open the new week with a matchup against the Detroit Pistons. The visitors are coming off back-to-back defeats, the most recent a 116-103 setback at Miami on Saturday. The Pistons are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games and 2-5 ATS in their last seven following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The teams split a couple of meetings back in November, both winning on the road. I like the Celtics to break that trend here and win big home at TD Garden.
01-30-17	Nets v. Heat -9	Top	96-104	Loss	-110	21 h 8 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA East GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The red hot Miami Heat have reeled off seven consecutive wins through the last two weeks. They're 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the Brooklyn Nets and off a solid 116-103 win against Detroit on Saturday. Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing on one days rest. The Nets are losers of five straight and eight of their last 10. They fell 129-100 at Minnesota on Saturday and are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games playing on one days rest and 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.
01-29-17	Wizards -115 v. Pelicans	Top	107-94	Win	100	19 h 57 m	Show
Mike's Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards are the hottest team in the NBA, winning 10 of the last 12 contests. They've improved their defense a lot lately, and dominated both ends of the court in a 112-86 win at Atlanta on Friday. On Sunday they'll visit a New Orleans Pelicans team that has defeated both Cleveland and San Antonio this week, but also lost to Brooklyn and Oklahoma City. The Wizards are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the road team is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings. Back the Wizards with confidence.
01-29-17	Green Bay -5 v. Detroit		92-93	Loss	-110	9 h 32 m	Show
CBB AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Green Bay Rating: 8/10* The Wisconsin Green Bay Phoenix are coming off back-to-back wins, and they handed Oakland an 80-72 defeat as an 8-point underdog on Friday. Green Bay is 6-1 ATS in its last seven games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5. Here they'll visit a Detroit Titans team that is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven games as an underdog, and the Titans have dropped three straight. Friday's 73-69 home loss to Milwaukee went to OT, and that setback could affect the home team here, both mentally and physically. Take the road favorite in this contest.
01-29-17	Michigan v. Michigan State -135		62-70	Win	100	4 h 15 m	Show
Super Early CBB Michigan/Michigan State Play: Michigan State Rating: 8/10* The Michigan State Spartans host the Michigan Wolverines Sunday afternoon. They're coming off three consecutive losses, the most recent a 84-73 setback as a 1.5-point home dog against Purdue, but the Spartans are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home favorite and 6-2 ATS in their last eight following a double-digit loss at home. The Wolverines have won three of their last four games, and covered the spread in each of the last three games. Michigan defeated Indiana 90-60 as a 4-point favorite on Thursday, but the Wolverines are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5.
01-28-17	Clippers v. Warriors -12.5	Top	98-144	Win	100	13 h 23 m	Show
Play: GS Warriors Rating: 10/10* The LA Clippers are hurting without injured Chris Paul, going 1-3 since he went down with a torn ligament in his thumb. LA is just 2-9 ATS in its last 11 road games, and here the Clippers will face a Warriors team that has won eight of its last nine games, covering the spread in all of the last six wins. The Warriors are the highest-scoring team in the league at 117.5 points per game, and I don't think the Clippers will be able to slow down GS here without Chris Paul. The Warriors won the last meeting 115-98 at LA on Dec. 7. Look for another blowout win for Golden State tonight.
01-27-17	Grizzlies v. Blazers UNDER 207.5		109-112	Loss	-110	11 h 58 m	Show
Mike's Late Night NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* The Portland Trail Blazers have struggled offensively lately, averaging just 102.3 points through their last four games, a number inflated by a 127-123 OT win at Boston. Under is 8-3 in Trail Blazers last 11 home games. The Memphis Grizzlies are among the best defensive teams in the NBA, and the under is 4-0 in their last four overall. The last meeting in the series was a total of just 174 points scored with the total set at 204.5 points. I think this will be another low-scoring affair.
01-27-17	Wizards +4 v. Hawks	Top	112-86	Win	100	20 h 10 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Southeast GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards have won nine of their last 11 games, and they're coming off a meriting 123-108 win against Eastern Conference rivals Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Tonight they'll face a Southeast Division foe in Atlanta Hawks, and I absolutely love the points on the white hot Wizards here. Wizards are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 vs. Eastern Conference and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Atlanta has also played well lately, coming off a 119-114 win at Chicago and the Hawks have won five of their last seven straight up. They're however just 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win and 2-6 ATS against division opponents on the season. The teams have split a couple of tight affairs so far this season, and I think this will be another close contest. Take the points on the Wizards.
01-26-17	Lakers +13 v. Jazz		88-96	Win	100	12 h 52 m	Show
*LATE NIGHT NBA* Play: LA Lakers Rating: 8/10* The LA Lakers are coming off a 105-98 loss at Portland on Wednesday, and they're not getting much respect here the very next night. Normally I would agree as playing the second end of a back-to-back set in the altitude at Salt Lake City is far from easy, but this is a young and athletic Lakers side, so I think they'll be less affected than most teams. We can also note that the Jazz are in a bit of a slump after back-to-back losses to OKC and Denver, and this will mark their third game in four nights. None of the previous three meetings this season were decided by more than seven points. Take the points on the Lakers.
01-26-17	Suns v. Nuggets -6	Top	120-127	Win	100	22 h 41 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Denver Nuggets Rating: 10/10* The Denver Nuggets have picked up pace and won five of their last seven games. They're 6-1 ATS during that stretch, and I think they'll keep it rolling here against the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix had won back-to-back games at New York and Toronto before coming up just short in a 112-111 loss to Minnesota on Tuesday. Here they'll face a Denver team that has won both meetings this season (120-104 at Denver on Nov. 16 and 120-114 at Phoenix on Nov. 27). Phoenix is 29th in the league in scoring defense allowing 111.5 points a night. The Nuggets boast a high-octane offense, and I don't see the Suns keeping pace with Denver here. Lay the points on the home favorite.
01-26-17	Pacers v. Wolves -3.5		109-103	Loss	-102	9 h 2 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Minnesota Timberwolves Rating: 8/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off three consecutive wins, and I think they'll make it four on the bounce when they host the Indiana Pacers Thursday night. Indiana is coming off three straight defeats, two as favorites, and the Pacers are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games. Gotta side with Minnesota to keep rolling here.
01-25-17	Hawks -125 v. Bulls		119-114	Win	100	10 h 39 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Atlanta Hawks Rating: 8/10* The Atlanta Hawks had won four of their last five prior to a 115-105 home loss to the Clippers on Sunday. They defeated the Bulls 102-93 as a 4-point home favorite last week, and they're 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in the series. The Chicago Bulls are in a rough spot following a 100-92 win at Orlando last night. They're 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win. The Hawks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games, and I think they'll defeat the Bulls for the third time this season tonight.
01-25-17	Warriors v. Hornets UNDER 222	Top	113-103	Win	100	21 h 24 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Warriors/Hornets BEST BET Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Golden State Warriors will be looking to bounce back from a shocking 105-102 setback at Miami on Monday. Golden State is the highest scoring team in the NBA with 117.6 ppg, but the totals have been way too inflated for games involving the Warriors lately, and the under is 7-1 in their last eight games. Here they'll take on a Charlotte Hornets team that has stepped it up a notch at the defensive end of the court again, and under is 6-0 in Hornets last six overall. Three of the last five head-to-head meetings have gone under the total but the ones that went over closed at 208 and 201 points. Tonight we see a much higher total posted, and I think this game will stay under the number.

NBA CA$H COW Play: Cleveland Cavaliers Rating: 8/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers have dropped five of their last seven games outright, and they're 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Completely unacceptable, and if the Cavs don't show up for this home game against the Kings I really don't know what to say. They put a 120-108 beating on the Kings at Sacramento on Jan. 13, and they're 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in the series. The Kings had dropped five straight games before picking up a 109-104 victory at Detroit on Saturday. They're 3-13 ATS in their last 16 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. "Coach (Tyronn Lue) will figure it out. We've just got to be better as a team. It's not about how many minutes I'm playing right now or being fresh down the stretch. We've got to be good right now, and we're not winning." is what LeBron James said after Monday's 124-122 loss to the Pelicans. Time to step it up a notch, LeBron.

NBA 3-Pack Play: Denver Nuggets Rating: 8/10* The Utah Jazz saw their season-best six-game winning streak come to an end when they fell 97-95 decision to the Oklahoma City on Monday. They're 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games playing on no rest and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 vs. teams from the Western Conference. The Denver Nuggets lost 111-108 to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday after winning four of their previous five contests. They're averaging 121.7 points per game through their last six games. The Nuggets are strong and athletic, and I think they'll give the knackered Jazz all kinds of problems here.
01-24-17	Wolves +1.5 v. Suns	Top	112-111	Win	100	21 h 9 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Minnesota Timberwolves Rating: 10/10* Two teams near the bottom of the Western Conference standings will be looking to build some momentum when the Minnesota Timberwolves visit the Phoenix Suns Tuesday night. Minnesota is coming off back-to-back wins against the Clippers and the Nuggets (both as favorites), and they've now won five of their last seven games. The Suns are coming off back-to-back wins at New York and the Raptors, the most recent a 115-103 win as a 12-point dog at Toronto on Sunday. Massive letdown spot here after winning back-to-back games as underdogs, and we can note that the Suns are 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games following a straight up win and 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Minnesota has won the previous two meetings this season (98-85 at Phoenix, 115-108 at home), and I think the Wolves will pick up another victory tonight.

NBA 3-Pack Play: San Antonio Spurs Rating: 8/10* The San Antonio Spurs have won four on the bounce after Monday's 112-86 trouncing of Brooklyn. They're 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on no rest and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Toronto Raptors will be without All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan, and I don't think they'll be able to compete with the Spurs without him.

Spurs/Nets Total BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The San Antonio Spurs have the second best scoring defense in the NBA allowing just 98.9 ppg, but they've played six consecutive overs. They'll face a Brooklyn Nets team that had played four straight over prior to a 112-105 loss with a total set at 222.5 on Saturday. Spurs often slack on defense on the road, especially as big favorites, and the over is 9-3 in Spurs last 12 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Brooklyn just doesn't know how to play D, and the Nets' 114.9 points allowed per game is the worst mark in the NBA. Over is 22-15 in Nets' games when the total is greater than or equal to 210. Spurs won the last meeting 130-101 home at San Antonio on Dec. 10. This will be another shootout.

*Top Rated 10 NBA GAME OF THE WEEK Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Washington Wizards had won four on the bounce prior to a 113-112 loss at Detroit on Saturday. The Wizards are effective on the ball, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired, particularly on the road where they're giving up 108.4 ppg. The over is 14-5 in Washington's 19 road games on the season and 13-4 in games where Washington closed as an underdog. The Charlotte Hornets are coming off three consecutive wins after a 112-105 win against Brooklyn on Saturday. It was however not long ago they went through a 1-7 stretch allowing 112.4 points per game. I don't think they'll be able to slow down the Wizards here, and we can note that the over is 4-0 in the last four meetings in this series.

Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Golden State Warriors have played excellent basketball at both ends of the court lately. This week they've already taken three impressive scalps with blowout wins against Cleveland, OKC and most recently a 125-108 win at Houston. Under is 9-2 in Warriors last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 14-2 in their last 16 games a road favorite of 12.5 points or more. They're a far way from home and have a matchup with the Heat on deck tomorrow, so I don't know how much they'll want to push the tempo here. The Orlando Magic are coming off a 112-96 win against Milwaukee, and the under is 5-2 in Orlando's last seven home games. Six of the last eight meetings at Amway Center have gone under the total, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair.
01-21-17	Rockets v. Grizzlies +1		119-95	Loss	-110	12 h 52 m	Show
NBA MONEY MAKER Play: Memphis Grizzlies Rating: 8/10* The Houston Rockets took a 125-108 beating by the Warriors last night, their fourth loss in their last six games. I don't think they'll have much gas left in the tank for Saturday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis defeated the Kings 107-91 on Friday, but the Grizzlies slow tempo style of basketball should favor them here in the second game of a back-to-back set compared to the high-paced Rockets. Rockets are just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 Saturday games, Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last five Saturday games. Memphis has covered the closing line in nine of the last 12 meetings at FedExForum. Back the home team.

6-1 Top Rated NBA Run - Saturday's 10* NBA BEST BET Play: Detroit Pistons Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards have won four straight (4-0 ATS) and seven of their last eight games, but they've not had much success on the road this season. The Wizards is just 5-13 SU and 7-11 ATS outside of their own building, and here they'll face a Pistons team looking to revenge a 122-108 loss at Verizon Center back in December. The Pistons are well rested after getting two days off since a dominant 118-95 win against Atlanta on Wednesday, and 6-0 ATS when playing on two days rest this season. The Wizards are on a roll, but this should prove to be a too tough of a matchup for thenm.

Top Rated 10* ACC GAME OF THE MONTH Play: FSU Rating: 10* The Florida State Seminoles have failed to cover the spread in each of their last two games, but they're still 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games. Saturday's opponent, the Louisville Cardinals, are in a let down spot following a massive 92-60 win as a 5-point favorite against Clemson. The Cardinals are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. Louisville must have to do without second leading scorer Quentin Snider who is out for two to three weeks with a hip injury. I don't think the Cards will be able to match FSU's powerful offense without him. FSU BIG!

Super Early Big Ten BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Nebraska Rating: 8/10* The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have lost all of their last seven games, five of them by double digits. They'll host a Nebraska Cornhuskers squad looking to get back on track after three straight losses, but they're 5-0 ATS in their last five road games. Nebraska has won the last five meetings, and I think the Cornhuskers will extend that winning streak in the series today.

Top Rated 10* NBA BEST BET Play: Golden State Warriors Rating: 10/10* The Golden State Warriors will be looking to revenge a 132-127 double-overtime home loss to the Rockets on Dec. 1. The Warriors are 10-5-1 ATS in their last 16 games when revenging a home loss and they're coming off three straight wins by 20 points or more, the most recent a 121-100 rout of the Thunder. Golden State is 6-2 ATS in its last eight games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Rockets defeated Milwaukee 111-92 their last time out, but they've not been at their very best lately dropping three of their last five games (to Minnesota, Memphis and Miami). Houston might be able to match the Warriors offensively, but the Warriors have a better D and more depth. Close down James Harden and what to Houston have left? Lay the points on the visitors as they revenge the defeat from last month.

Their now coming off a day of rest and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up loss. They'll take on a Charlotte Hornets squad that snapped a five-game skid with a 107-85 win against the struggling Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Still, not looking good for the Hornets who are struggling on both sides of the ball at the moment, and I think the Raptors will run away with this game.

The Zags are 22-5 ATS in their last 27 games as a favorite while the Broncos are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5. The Bulldogs have recorded 11 wins by 20 or more points, and although the Broncos gave them all sorts of problems in the last meeting here at Leavey Center I expect a blowout win for the Bulldogs this time around.

They'll face a San Antonio Spurs team that has played four straight overs, and they're coming off a 122-114 win against Minnesota. The Spurs have a solid D, but over is 19-11 in Spurs' games against teams scoring 99+ points/game, and the over is 10-2 in Spurs last 12 home games. Six of the last eight head-to-head meetings have gone over the total. Take the over here.

The Cavs need to step it up defensively following a 126-91 loss to the Warriors at Oracle Arena, and I think they will. Under is 10-1 in Cavaliers last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 9-2 in their last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. The Suns' play at the defensive end of the court leaves much to be desired, but they've battled hard in recent weeks. Under is 6-1 in Suns last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record and each of the last seven meetings with the Cavs at Cleveland have stayed under the total.

They're 11-1 ATS in the previous 12 and beaten Philadelphia and Portland by a combined 35 points in the last two. They'll also seek to revenge a 112-103 OT loss at Memphis on Oct. 30 and we can note that Washington is 16-7 ATS when revenging a loss vs opponent on the season. The Grizzlies are coming off a 108-104 home loss to the Bulls on Sunday, and they're just 1-4 ATS in their last five games vs. teams from the Eastern Conference. The Wizards are 5-2 ATS in their last seven vs. Western Conference foes and I like them to put a big beating on Memphis here.

NBA 3-Pack Play: Denver Nuggets Rating: 8/10* The LA Lakers got off to a bright start this season, but they've dropped four straight games and 20 of 25 since splitting their first 20 contests. The Denver Nuggets meanwhile are heating up and they head into this game aiming for a third consecutive win after defeating Indiana 140-112 across the pond last Thursday followed by a 125-112 win against Orlando last night. Denver has a young and athletic team, so I don't think playing on back-to-back nights will have much of a negative effect. They've won six straight meetings with the Lakers at Staples Center, and my money is on their success to continue tonight.

The Spurs are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in the series and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Minnesota Timberwolves came out flat in a 98-87 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday, and they're 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Spurs are 6-2 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite this season, and I don't think the Wolves will stand a chance here.

NBA 3-Pack Play: Dallas Mavericks Rating: 8/10* Both teams are going for a third consecutive victory. The Mavs rank 4th in the NBA for scoring defense allowing only 100.5 points per game, and I think that just as in recent meetings their defense will keep them in this game (Mavs are 4-1 ATS last five in the series). Bulls are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record while the Mavs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

The Clippers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record while the Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last four games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings at Staples Center. OKC needs to shore up its D after last night's 122-118 win at Sacramento, but the team is 13-2-1 ATS in their last 16 after allowing 100 points or more in its previous game. Take the points on the visitors.

The Warriors showed no mercy when they trashed the Pistons 127-107 on Thursday. They're well rested, 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and should play with a chip on their shoulder here. Warriors by double digits.

Washington is a solid 16-6 SU and 14-8 ATS home at Verizon Center on the season, that includes a 7-1 ATS record as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points. The Trail Blazers are coming off a 115-109 loss to Orlando as their defensive issues continues, and they're now allowing 110.4 points per game on the season. We can also note that both teams are solid offensively, but Washington is 17-12 ATS vs. teams scoring 99+ points/game while Portland is 13-19 ATS. Lay the points on the Wizards.

The Milwaukee Bucks are also playing solid basketball at the moment, winning five of their last seven and coming off back-to-back wins against San Antonio and Miami. The Bucks will be looking to revenge a 114-110 home loss as a 3-point favorite on Dec. 9, and it's worth pointing out that the road team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings in this series.

Top Rated 10* NBA Atlantic Div GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* I have an extremely strong lean towards the Toronto Raptors here. They're coming off back-to-back wins against division rivals Philadelphia and Brooklyn, the most recent a 132-113 rout of the Nets. Toronto is 6-1 ATS vs. division opponents on the season, 5-1 ATS after a division game and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. On the other side of the court we have the New York Knicks who are coming off a big win of their own, a 104-89 victory over Chicago. The Knicks are however 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 1-4 ATS vs. Atlantic division opponents on the season. Toronto has won the last four in the series, including a 118-107 home win on Nov. 12. I expect the Raptors to win by at least as many points again.

Orlando is also playing the second game of a back-to-back set, and I think they're in a let down spot following a 115-109 road win at Portland on Friday. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win and 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games while the Jazz are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 Saturday games. Utah is oozing of confidence at the moment, and while this is a fair amount of points to lay I don't think it will be even close in the end. Take Utah and give the points.

San Antonio is coming off a 134-94 beat down of the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, and I like the Spurs to roll here as they're 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Phoenix Suns have dropped back-to-back home games to Cleveland and Dallas, the 113-108 loss to the Mavs also here in Mexico City. I don't think the familiarity with the arena will be enough to help them here though. The Suns have struggled with Western Conference teams all season going 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 vs. Western Conference and they're 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings with the Spurs. San Antonio won two meetings last month by an average of 18 points, and I expect another blowout win for the Spurs here.

"Well, the annual Villanova (butt) kicking. I'm getting really tired of it," Musketeers coach Chris Mack said at the beginning of his postgame press conference, and I think he'll have his team fired up today. The Bulldogs are also coming off a loss, a 75-64 setback at Creighton, and they've covered the spread in just one of the last 12 meetings with Xavier. Home or away has not mattered much as Xacier is 6-1 ATS in the last seven at Hinkle Fieldhouse. We can also note that Xavier is 6-2-1 ATS in its last nine games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points.

They're coming off back-to-back losses at Utah and Portland, and I don't see them heading into Golden State on a three-game losing streak. The Kings snapped a three-game skid with a 100-94 win against Detroit on Tuesday, but they're just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Cleveland an impressive 10-3 ATS in their its 13 Friday night games, and I like the Cavs to roll here.

NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Charlotte Hornets have dropped five of their last six games, and this looks like a tough spot as they make the fourth stop on a five-game road trip. The Philadelphia 76ers will come in strengthened by a late comeback in Wednesday's 98-97 win against the Knicks, their fourth win in five games and the fifth straight game they covered the spread. Charlotte is really struggling at the defensive end, allowing 114.3 points on average through their last six contests. Look for the 76ers to take full advantage of the Hornets' slumping defense.

Pistons/Warriors EASY MONEY Play: Detroit Pistons Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors have failed to cover the spread in each of their last six games. It will be tough to cover a big number here against a team that ranks 4th in the NBA allowing only 100.3 points per game.
01-12-17	Mavs v. Suns UNDER 202	Top	113-108	Loss	-110	21 h 19 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA LATE NIGHT TOTAL Play: Under Rating: 10/10* Each of the last three head-to-head meetings between the Dallas Mavericks and the Phoenix Suns have gone under the total, the most recent a 102-95 Phoenix win at Dallas a week ago. The Mavs have averaged just 89.7 points per game through their last three games while Phoenix had played five straight unders before a 120-116 loss to the Cavs their last time out. Under is 4-0 in Mavericks last four vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in Suns last five vs. a team with a losing straight up record. We can also note that this game is played at Mexico City Arena in Mexico City, so both teams will be shooting against unfamiliar hoops.

NBA LATE SHOW Play: Under Rating: 8/10* Under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings between the Orlando Magic and the LA Clippers, and I think we'll see another game go under the total Wednesday night. Orlando is averaging just 98.9 points per game on the season and they've not scored more than 95 in any of their last three games. The Clippers meanwhile have held three of their last four opponents to 98 points or fewer, and they looked extremely good on D in Sunday's 98-86 win against Miami. Under is 6-1 in Clippers last seven vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 7-3 in Magic's last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

CBB EASY MONEY Play: Michigan Wolverines Rating: 8/10* The Michigan Wolverines are coming off a 77-70 home loss to Maryland as an 8-point favorite and they've failed to cover the spread in four straight games. They're however 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings with the Illinois Fighting Illini who are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 games as a home underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. Illinois has lost two of its first three games in Big Ten action by an average margin of 20.5 points. I don't like their chances of keeping this a close game.

NBA CA$H COW Play: OKC Thunder Rating: 8* The OKC Thunder will be looking to revenge a 114-80 loss at Memphis on Dec. 29, and I think they're catching the Grizzlies at a good time. Memphis is in a let down spot after back-to-back marquee victories against Golden State and Utah, and the Grizzlies will face a Thunder squad that is 6-1 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points this season, making OKC Wednesday's CA$H COW.
01-10-17	Cavs -125 v. Jazz		92-100	Loss	-125	12 h 41 m	Show
NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Cleveland Cavs Rating: 8/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers are asked to cover a very small number at Utah Jazz Tuesday night, and I definitely like the favorite in this matchup. The Jazz have dropped three of their last four games straight up and covered the spread in none of those games. They're 1-7 ATS in their last eight when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game and will face a Cavaliers squad that is coming off a 120-116 win at Phoenix, the Cavs fifth win in six games. Cleveland blew a 20-point second-half lead against the Suns but still pulled out the win, and I think that will serve as a wake up call and I don't see them underestimating the Jazz here.

Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a 102-85 defeat at San Antonio to make it four losses in their last five games. They'll make the third stop on a five-game road swing when they visit Houston Tuesday night, and this looks like an excellent spot for the Rockets. Charlotte allowed San Antonio to knock down 13 shots from 3-point land, and the Hornets have allowed their last five opponents an average of 113.6 points. That should spell trouble against a Rockets team that goes for nine wins in a row here and are 19-2 since December 1. They're scoring just for fun and are not shy to pile on the points going 26-13-0 ATS on the season. The Hornets are 3-7-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall and 1-9-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings at Toyota Center. BIG BET on the Rockets recommended.

Top Rated 10* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Xavier Rating: 10/10* The 13-2 Xavier Musketeeers are visiting the 15-1 Villanova Wildcats Tuesday night, and I think the visitors are catching too many points to pass up on here. Xavier is 7-3-1 ATS in its last 11 games as a road underdog and the Musketeers have covered the spread in each of their last four games. Villanova bounced back from a 66-58 loss at Butler with a 93-81 win against Marquette on Saturday, but the Wildcats are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

NBA CA$H COW Play: OKC Thunder Rating: 8/10* The Oklahoma City Thunder have not been great on the road this season, but I like their chances to pick up a win at United Center Monday night. The Chicago Bulls are coming off a demanding 123-118 OT win against Toronto on Saturday, and they're 2-7 ATS in their last nine games playing on one days rest and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. They've won three on the bounce, but and that's one of the reasons they're favored here against a superior OKC side. Take the visitors.

NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: NY Knicks Rating: 8/10* The New York Knicks have dropped seven of their last eight games, including a 104-92 setback at New Orleans on Dec. 30. They'll be looking to revenge that defeat and bounce back from a 123-109 loss at Indiana on Saturday, and I like their chances as the Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. They'll host a New Orleans team that has lost three on the bounce and the Pels are just 4-13 SU and 7-10 ATS on the road (1-5 ATS L6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600) this season. The Knickerbockers are a solid 11-7 SU and 12-6 ATS home at MSG, and they're 9-3 ATS as a favorite on the season. Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis has averaged 20 points while going 7-of-10 from 3-point range in two games since coming back from an Achilles injury. Look for "Porzingod" to lead the Knicks to a big win here.

CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Quinnipiac Rating: 8/10* Quinnipiac is playing good basketball at the moment, winning two of its last three, the most recent a 81-71 win against Manhattan as a 2-point home favorite. The Bobcats have had good success against the spread on the road this season and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points. St. Peter's Peacocks is shooting just 39.3% from the floor and the Bobcats should have an advantage on the glass. An outright upset is far-fetched, but I like Quinnipiac to cover the spread.

NBA LATE SHOW Play: LA Lakers Rating: 8/10* The Los Angeles Lakers have won just two of their last seven games, but one of those wins was an impressive 127-100 victory over Miami on Friday. The Lakers are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six when hosting Orlando, and the Magic have no momentum at all being held to 92 and 92 points in home losses to Atlanta and Houston this week. The Lakers can play some great basketball when all their young players perform at the same time, and I think it will be one of those occasions in front of a loud home town crowd this Sunday night.

They're 3-12 SU and 5-10 ATS on the road this season and took a 123-96 beating here at Milwaukee on Dec. 23. The Bucks had recorded three consecutive wins before suffering a 116-111 loss as a 5-point favorite against the Knicks on Friday. They're 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and the favorite is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings with Washington.

NBA Eastern Conference EASY MONEY Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 8* The Chicago Bulls are coming off back-to-back victories against Charlotte and Cleveland, and they'll be looking to take down another Eastern Conference powerhouse when the Toronto Raptors are coming to town Saturday night. I like the visitors in this spot though. The Bulls recovered from an early double-digit deficit for a 106-94 win at a shorthanded Cavaliers team on Wednesday, and I think that puts the team in a let down spot here. The Raptors are coming off a 101-93 win against Utah, but they had won just one of their last four prior to that victory leading to the team coming in underrated here. The Raptors are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 vs. Eastern Conference teams and 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Bulls are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win.
