MIKE'S CELTICS/BULLS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Boston Celtics will play on short rest following a 129-102 blowout win in Detroit Friday night. I think we'll see a slower-paced and lower-scoring game when they visit the Bulls in Chicago tonight. 

Under is 5-1-1 in Celtics last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Under is 8-3 in Bulls last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

MIKE'S SUNS/SPURS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a good spot to fade the San Antonio Spurs, who will play on short rest following a 99-97 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. The Phoenix Suns are currently the no.7 seed in the West and looking to improve their position and avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament. 

The Suns will be a team to watch in the playoffs. They have an absolutely elite starting five, arguably the best in the NBA, and I expect them to be able to take advantage of a tired Spurs team.

On Thursday, the Utah Jazz lost 113-97 to the Mavs in Dallas. They have scored 100, 104, 107, and 97 points in their last four games, all of which went under the total. 

The Houston Rockets have been involved in high-scoring affairs lately, but note that the under is 14-6 in the Rockets' last 20 Saturday games.

Additionally, the under is 38-17 in the Rockets' last 55 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. This situation applies to this contest as they're coming off a 127-117 win over the Chicago Bulls.

In addition to the Celtics winning and covering the spread, I also like the over as I expect Boston to keep pushing the pedal to the metal through four quarters.

The Celtics beat the Pistons 119-94 in Boston on Monday and followed that up with a 122-119 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.

The Pistons are coming off a 122-103 loss to the Pacers, and I don't see how they can keep it close against a Boston team that clearly has no intentions of slowing down or likely to look past any opponent. 

Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Celtics are 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

The Sacramento Kings, meanwhile, are eyeing the postseason. They are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite, while the Raptors are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

That was about as bad as we've seen the Warriors this season, and while they'll still be without Steph Curry (ankle), there's enough talent on this side to destroy a team like the Spurs if they want to, and I expect the motivation to be there for this game.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a 101-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets. They've held four of their last 10 opponents to fewer than 100 points and they are owners of the best scoring-defense in the NBA with only 106.4 points allowed per game. 

Under is 7-2 in Timberwolves last 9 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. Under is 6-2-1 in Spurs last 9 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater. Under is 9-2-1 in Spurs last 12 games as an underdog.

The New York Knicks were the hottest team in the NBA for a while, but their heater came to an end when O.G. Anunoby went down with an injury. They're only 4-6 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, and here they'll face a New Orleans Pelicans team that had won four on the bounce before back-to-back losses against the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. 

Pelicans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. Knicks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. Knicks are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games as a home underdog of 5.0-10.5 while the Warriors are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite of 11.0 or greater and perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

In addition to Miami to cover the spread, I also like the under. Under is 20-7 in Heat last 27 road games. Under is 7-1 in Heat last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 7-3 in Kings last 10 games playing on 0 days rest.

MIKE'S NUGGETS/WARRIORS SIDE

I like the Golden State Warriors to win outright in a relatively low-scoring game when they host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season (8-2 SU and ATS L10), but still need to make up ground to make the playoffs.

This is also a revenge game for the Warriors after losing 130-127 when they hosted Denver on Jan 4, and things are clicking a lot better for the Warriors this time around. 

Warriors are 39-19-1 ATS in their last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nuggets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win.

MIKE'S EARLY BUCKS/SIXERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

I like the Milwaukee Bucks as a road favorite in this matinee matchup in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon. The Milwaukee Bucks have not played great of late, but I think they'll be looking to make a statement, and with Joel Embiid sidelined, I don't see how the Sixers can keep up with the Bucks.

MIKE'S LATE NIGHT LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The break came at a bad time for both the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers as they were hot streaks with six wins in seven games. The Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, and while both teams need a strong second half of the season if they want to make the playoffs, I like the Warriors to get the win and cover here in the first game back from the All-Star break.

The Dallas Mavericks are only 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to fade the Memphis Grizzlies following their upset win over the Houston Rockets last night.

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a couple of dominant wins over the New Orleans Pelicans and the Detroit Pistons, but this looks like a tough spot as they'll be playing on short rest. The Lakers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 0 days rest, 4-9 ATS following back-to-back wins this season and 2-6 ATS following back-to-back ATS covers.

This looks like a good spot to fade the Minnesota Timberwovles following back-to-back statement wins on the road; first against the Bucks in Milwaukee and most recently the Clippers in LA last night. The Portland Trail Blazers meanwhile should be hungry as they're coming off four losses. 

Trail Blazers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Trail Blazers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

The San Antonio Spurs are 8-2 to the under in their last 10 games, but I think we'll see tonight's matchup against the Toronto Raptors go over the total. I expect a big offensive outing from the home team after being held to 95 points in a loss to Cleveland in their last game. 

4* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S KINGS/THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't stand a chance in last night's 146-111 loss in Dallas. I expect them to bounce back with a strong outing against the Sacramento Kings on Super Bowl Sunday.

The Mavericks are in a potential letdown spot following a three-game road trip sweep with stops in Philadelphia, Brooklyn and New York, and Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are listed as questionable for this contest. 

Mavericks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Thunder are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Thunder are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

The Knickerbockers are bruised up big time; Julius Randle (shoulder), OG Anunoby (elbow) and Quentin Grimes (knee) will sit out while Jalen Brunson (ankle) is listed as questionable, and the Mavs are far from healthy as well.

Cavaliers are Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite.

As extra motivation, the Cavs will be looking to avenge a double-digit loss to the Kings in Sacramento back in November.
