I'm going to keep riding the Lakers as I have mentioned here the last few games.  They are off a big OT win @ Dallas.  I also think LeBron in a weird way will wanna prove something tonight as Westbrook is out of the lineup.  I know the betting public will be on the Lakers with me but as I have said I fully expect a winning streak here and we will continue to back them

This is just a dream spot here for the Celtics as I believe the Warriors will be sluggish.  So after their close game at Indiana they had weather issues and couldn't get to New York that night.  They play the Knicks just two nights ago and it was emotional as Curry was going for the record which he broke.  I think now is big let down spot here.

Alright I'm going to take the Hawks here tonight.  This team has lost 5 straight home games but the reason is because the Nuggets are clearly hurting with all their injuries and the depth right now.  Hawks are a little desperate right now so I believe we get a good effort.  

I like the Wolves here tonight.  They are coming off a road win at Portland and having two days off here I think we get max effort.  They lost a close one earlier this season at home so I believe the revenge is very much in play here.  Also, the Nuggets have been team banged up with injuries are getting respect because they have won 3 of 4 but those came against the Pelicans, Spurs and Wizards.

I will take the Pacers here and I think you might get a better line if you wait but I think they win this game regardless.  The Bucks are so short handed right now even if Middleton does play tonight.  Their bench will be so short and this is their first game back after a road trip.  Pacers are playing extremely well winning 3 of their last 4 with their most recent loss being by just 2 to the best team in the league in the Warriors. Pacers win outright.

I think now is the time to start backing the Lakers.  LeBron is back in the lineup and with them pretty much playing .500 I think they have a ton of value.  This team will get right and go win 12 of 15 and I wanna be on them during that stretch. Luka is out tonight for the Mavs.

I know the Blazers are slipping but I think they rise up here tonight in a good spot.  the Suns played last night in a losing effort vs the Clippers.  The Suns were -5 at home vs Portland so without Booker they are -3.5 on the road?  Doesn't add up.  I will take Portland to show up here in a big game.

I know this pick is square but I dont care here.  Whenvever superstars go to Madison Square Garden they are always motivated so you can expect Curry to show up and put on a show.  The Warriors are great but in terms of covering recently they have only covered 2 times inhale last 7 games.  The Knicks I simply can't back as they have lost 6 of 7.  

I will take the Celtics here to finish out their road trip.  They covered last game for me vs the Clippers losing by 3.  Weird situation here as the Suns have had 3 days off while most will make the case great rest spot I think it sets up for being flat out of the gate especially since Booker is out.  Celtics are more urgent here so I expect them to jump on a lead early

I mean there has to be a buy really buy low spot on the Lakers here soon if not the start of tonight.  I knew it would take some time for them to gel but following last nights ugly loss I think that is the wake up call they needed.  Thunder did beat LA twice this season and both games were very chippy to say the least.  I think this sets up for a big time Lakers performance.  

I don't think the Raptors should be favored here.  Granted neither team is playing well right now but the Knicks were 7 point favorites at New York so there shouldn't be that big of adjustment here for them to be a dog.  Plus they lost that game so revenge is on their side .

I will take the Sixers here as the home dog.  Both teams are playing very well here and are off back to back games.  Utah flat out embarrassed the Sixers winning by over 30 in thirst. meeting.  Those type of losses in the NBA dont get forgotten.  I think Philly responds here and wins this outright.

The Celtics played horrible last night in a losing effort to the Lakers.  I love the quick turn around here with zero travel tonight vs the Clippers.  No one will want anything to do with the Celtics following last nights loss.  

Grab this now.  I believe this crashes throughout the day.  The Grizzlies are hot I get it and the Mavs blew a game last night against the Nets.  But they are dogs here tonight and Ja Morant is out?  No way should that be.  Mavs put forth an effort here and wouldn't be shocked to see a win outright.

I really like the Nuggets here tonight.  The Bulls are off a huge win over the Nets setting up for a let down here.  Bulls are without White and Caruso tonight which are both big losses to the Guard position.  Jokic is back for the Nuggets and they are just a different team with him in there.

I know the line is taking it into account and it might be a tad overreaction but I think the Warriors really put one on the Suns tonight.  Curry will be really motivated as he played a bad game for him the other night vs the Suns.  I think the route is on here tonight.  

The Hawks are playing well right now catching fire but I think they shouldn't be favored here.  Embiid is back and that is the main reason for this pick.  He just means that much to this team and their success.  I also believe the line is telling you that.  

If there is a spot for the Nets to show up it's this one here tonight.  I think they will be motivated here since it is the Knicks and they had a brutal start vs the Suns last game getting down by double digits early and made a late run in the 4th, but it was too late.  I like the Nets to give a little extra here tonight and take one to the Knicks

No injuries to Portland and they are catching 8?  I think this is a great number to back them at here tonight.  The Jazz are just 2-2 their last 4 with two wins being over the Pelicans and Thunder 2 of the worst teams in the league.  Too much credit being given for for Utah.

I'm putting a lot of faith here in the Spurs.  They finally broke that losing streak and won their last game vs the Celtics.  I believe that will carry over here.  The Spurs have now had 2 days of rest and the Wizards are playing their 4th straight road game in 6 days and coming off a big road win over the Mavs.  Spurs are in a great spot here tonight. 

I think with the Bulls being home dogs here odds makers are telling you all you need to know about this spot.  The Heat are off an ugly loss to the T Wolves but they have had two days off while the Bulls played last night in Orlando and blew them out.  The rest factor matters here Heat win this game.

Both teams played last night.  The Hawks won in a blowout and the Knicks lost in a blowout.  Hawks are on a streak here but this is too many against a team that is equal to me.  Both played on the road so no one has an advantage in the travel spot.  I see a pretty close game here so give other points.

So the Suns have won 15 straight and I believe now is the perfect time to fade them.  They played last night and this is their 4th straight. road game.  There will for sure be some regression here soon from the Suns and I think it starts tonight.  Nets are quietly going about their business with a 14-5 record.  I know they haven't played their best at home so far but this is a game they will be up for. 

I will be square here with this pick but I will back Portland tonight.  The Kings are playing horrible only covering once in the last 10.  Portland has a revenge factor here dropping an ugly one to the Kings early this season.

I am shocked here at this line.  The Spurs last game were only 5.5 point dogs at home to the Suns and now the Hawks are close to equal with the Suns?  No way, not buying it.  Also the Hawks have won 5 straight but all of those games were at home. 

I am taking the Celtics here tonight.  The line here suggest that Brown will be playing tonight.  The Celtics have underachieved a little I think it's. fair to say so far.  There is no doubt they will be up for this game.  Nets are clearly playing well but the betting public will be all over the Nets and I will gladly fade them in this obvious spot.

I will take the Mavs here tonight.  This is one of those back to back home double headers.  Clippers covered Sunday winning by 6.  The Mavs didnt shoot the ball horrible from the outside only making 6 3's.  I firmly belie they are live here to win outright.  

Give me the Grizzlies here and all the points.  I will admit the Jazz haven't been friendly to me so far this season but the blowouts aren't going to keep happening.  Also I think the Grizzlies will be really motivated as the Jazz eliminated them from the playoffs.  Love that Memphis is off a terrible performance vs the T Wolves.

Major flat spot here for the Bulls tonight.  I stayed away from the game yesterday in a spot I normally look to fade.  It was their first game back off a big road trip but they were playing the Knicks so you know they wanted it.  I do think tonight though is the spot to fade them off their back to back.  

Yes, this is an ugly game for sure.  The Rockets are by far the worst team in the league winning just 1 game so far.   The Celtics though ardent world beaters and there is no way they are that motivated here tonight.  I just think this is the ultimate flat spot here with the Celtics as they have the Nets on deck Wednesday.  

I like the Kings here tonight getting all these points.  These teams have played twice already with Utah getting the best of them.  However, in the first meeting @ the Kings Utah was favored by just 6 and now we are seeing a little adjustment.  Utah is the better team no doubt but off back to back blowout wins I think it's time to fade here. 

I will take the Wizards here in the home and and home situation.  The Heat beat the Wiz last game pretty handily but I trust the Wizards to bounce back here with a strong effort as they are 6-1 at home.  Also the Heat shot 24 are throws to the Wizards 10, I believe that evens out.  I trust Washington to get the quick revenge.

I backed the Raptors last night in a losing effort after they were up 2 at half time and failed to cover the big number.  I just dont believe that the Kings should be favored right now.  Neither team is playing great so I think the points are valuable.  I also think last nights results play a role in the line. Also Kings first game back off a road trip and love fading a team given this spot.

Here we have another classic back to back game as the Suns just beat the Mavs but failed to cover.  I know the Mavs are without Luka again here but I think they will be live tonight.  Suns are on a winning streak I get it but what comes with that are inflated lines.  Mavs hang around here and have a chance at the end

Grab this now as it will go up.  I was watching this game last night and the Nuggets were flat out embarrassed by a Sixers team with no one playing.  Great bounce back spot here for Denver tonight.  The thing is they really didn't play the starters hardly at all in the 4th quarter because it was a blowout.  Denver responds with a big effort.  

I will take the Raptors here tonight.  This line to me is clearly inflated as the Jazz were favored by this much over a Sixers team that didn't have Embiid or Simmons.  The Raptors are better when you consider those players being out.  Utah is also a team that just doesn't cover big numbers especially back to back ones.  Big effort coming from the Raptors tonight, take the points. 

Bulls are on their 4th straight road game here tonight.  I have had a pretty good feel o the Bulls this season and have backed them in their last 2 games which they won vs the Clippers and Lakers.  I think this spot is tough tonight following those 2 wins.  Portland is struggling to find themselves so far but. they are 6-1 at home and I will gladly take them at this short price.

I had the Warriors last night over the Nets in a winner but I will come back with the Nets here.  The Cavs have been a surprise team to most but now they have injuries everywhere.  They are missing 3 starters in Sexton and now the twin towers in Mobley and Allen both out as well.  I think Nets put it on them tonight. 

I'm rolling with the Hornets here.  There is no doubt that the Wiz have been the biggest shock so far to start the NBA season.  They are 10-3 and have won 5 straight and 8 of their last 10.  I just like this Hornets team and they have won 3 straight including a big win over the Warriors.  Hornets have had two days off following that big win I think we get another big effort here from them tonight. 

I'm taking the Warriors here tonight.  I know they laid an egg last game vs. the Hornets but they were looking ahead to this game tonight.  the Nets have been hot as well following a slower start. but literally their most recent wins are against teams below .500.  I think the Warriors respond with an outright win here tonight. 

I will take the Bulls again here tonight.  They had a great win last night vs the Clippers and the Lakers won also which is why I believe the Bulls have good value here.  This team just clicks well together and I think they are hungry.  

I'm going to lay it here with the Mavs as they will be looking for revenge tonight.  The Nuggets handed the Mavs their worst loss of the season so you know the Mavs will be motivated a little more than normal tonight.  Nuggets are hot and playing well but all those games are at home.  I think Mavs make a statement tonight 

Weird situation here with these two teams just meeting.  The Cavs came out on top Saturday night winning by 2.  The Celtics blew a huge 14 point lead at half and were out rebounded by 20.  They also really struggled from deep only hitting 6 threes.  I love the bounce back game from them tonight. 

Bulls had a little humbling last game vs the Warriors as they were blown out.  This Bulls team is legit and I believe a lot better spot here tonight with the Clippers playing last night.  Still no Kawhi for LA. Love a great bounce back spot for Chicago tonight

There is literally no great reason to take the Hawks.  Whenever I see a very fishy line especially in the NBA sometimes you just have to go with it.  The Hawks haven't played great so far and the Bucks are on their 5th straight road game.  My faith is in the odds makers with this line.  

Mavs I think come in pretty focused here after a ugly game at the Bulls last time out.  This is a rivalry game and I know the mass escaped in the first meeting winning by 1.  Mavs are just flat out better across the board here.  Like the bounce back

The Thunder are a bad team I get it.  However, with that being said there will be times to ride them and this is one of them.  They have won 3 straight and 4 of their last 6 games.  They have also covered 6 of their last 7 as well.  Kings on the other hand have lost and failed to cover in 3 straight games.  

Suns are hot since that slow start winning 6 straight games.  The thing is though all of those were at home besides one and it was @ the Kings.  Grizzlies are a tough out and a sneaky team.  Grizzlies laid an egg last time out and I believe a great bounce back spot against a team they won't take likely 

I'm going to grab the Celtics here.  I had them last game in a winner and I know Giannis is back but Middleton is still out and honestly he means a lot more to this team than what people realize.  Celtics are without Brown yes but I think the matchup for them is pretty good here tonight.

I much rather have the Lakers here as the home dog here tonight.  Davis is probable and yes LeBron is still out.  The Heat have issues of their own though here.  Morris and Tucker are out with Bam and Herro being highly questionable.  That is a lot of contributors to be out vs a Laker team that will be hungry in this role tonight.  Lakers know they haven't played well, I think tonights game has their attention though

I had Portland in a losing effort last night at the Clippers.  They failed to cover, but I think they are worth back again here tonight at this price.  Suns have won 5 straight and covered the last 4 but all have been against bad teams.  Ayton is out tonight along with Saric and Shamet.  Portland bounces back in a big effort.

I like the plus money here and the points with the Mavs.  I do believe in this Bulls yes, however now they are favored over a good Western Conference team and the love might be getting a tad extreme.  Bulls off the big win over the Nets and have a 5 game road trip coming up.  I think this is a let down spot at home tonight.

I like the short number here for the Celtics to get their first home win of the season.  yes, I know they are without Brown who is a stud.  This teams have already met and the Raptors were 7 point dogs and blew the Celtics out.  I love the revenge angle here tonight

I know the Blazers advent won a road game yet this season but I think now is the time to back them.  The reason why is because I really love the revenge game here from earlier this season.  The Blazers were blown out at the Clippers in the first meeting.  I'm putting my trust in Portland here coming off a nice win over the Lakers with two days off here and for that to carry over.

Certain spots to back for the Nets this early in the season and I believe this is one of them.  They just lost at home and so far after each of their other two losses they have bounced back with a win and cover.  I expect the same here against a injuries Pacers team and they have underachieved big time so far.  

I will take the Magic here against another bottom feeder team in the Eastern Conference.  The Raptors are missing Siakam for tonights game which is a huge loss for them.  The Magic haven't started the season off to great start but they have also played a tough schedule.  They were getting 8 against the Knicks who are clearly way better than the Raptors.

I'm going to lay it here with the Lakers.  I figured they would start out slow and it shouldn't be a surprise.  I actually think we will get a better effort now that they are on the road here.  Lakers couldbnt have looked any worse their first 3 games.  Spurs beating the Magic for their only win means nothing.  Lakers wake up tonight and get it done 

I will take the Suns and continue to fade the Lakers.  I think they are a fade for a while here now.  Honestly besides them trying to figure each other out, the main reason is because they are so bhurt and dont have hardly any depth right now.  We know the superstars aren't playing crazy minutes out of the gates.  Suns win this game.

I will take the Kings here.  They looked great with a nice road win @ Portland opening the season and just no reason for the Jazz to be laying this many.  The Jazz blew out a horrible Thunder team who actually are probably the worst in the league.  I put no value or stock into that game.  I love what the Kings have in place and this team as a home underdog at full strength in pretty much an auto play.

I really like the Cavs here tonight.  I lost with them game 1 at the Grizzlies but it came down to the last minute and they didn't get home.  I think they win outright here tonight.  The Cavs have a very good young team in place.  The Hornets I do like this team but Rozier is very questionable right now and that is a huge loss if he doesn't go.  I will take my chances here with the Cavs.

Love the Heat here tonight.  I think they make a big statement win and there is no doubt the Bucks will be getting a ton of love from the betting public.  I really like this Miami roster especially when Oladipo comes back healthy.  They are the team from the Eastern Conference not getting any love and I believe are big sleepers.

I really like the Nuggets here tonight.  I definitely think it will be time to fade the Suns early when they are laying such numbers.  I mean at this point last season this game would have been like a PK.  I know Murray is out for the Nuggets but there is still enough talent and depth on this team.  

I know the Magic have som key injures right now but I think the magic still have enough here to get it done tonight.  They have a ton of lent and will be lead by rookie Suggs who I think will be awesome all season long.  This Spurs team is just down with talent this season.  There is no reason for them to be laying such a number out of the gates

I'm thinking this Cavs team will be live here in the big dog role this season.  I love the draft of Mobely to along with Allen who they acquired from the Nets.  I do like the Grizzlies team lead by Morant but laying this many out of the gates here is simply too much.  

I will take the Warriors who I feel like will be out for revenge all season long.  I love Steph for MVP this season.  The Lakers will be good of course I just believe it's going to take some time with them to gel.  Playing with Westbrook is hard and you have to feel him out.  

I know Kyrie is out tonight but I will take the Nets here on the ML.  They are out for revenge tonight and I believe Durant and Harden make a big opening statement win.  I think this team now healthy won't actually miss Kyrie as much because they do have two big time scorers in those two guys.  Nets win outright 

Taking the under here in this game.  I think both teams have slowed down a lot actually and we are seeing that right away in the game.  I know the Suns run n gun at home but number is high and the betting public loves the over as well which gices me the confidence that this will be an easy under tonight

I'm taking the Suns here tonight in game 1 of the finals.  I dont think the time off will hurt them.  I know the Bucks have played well without Giannis and I have had them the last two game.  You have to take into consideration though that the Hawks were no where near full strength as Young was really banged up.  Suns are a different animal.  I think they put their foot down tonight

Really like the Bucks here tonight.  I know Giannis is still out and Young is back but I don’t believe Trae is near 100% and I loved the way the Bucks moved the ball withoutnGiannis.  odds giving too much credit toward the Hawks here Bucks ML it is!

I love the Bucks here tonight.  No Giannis no problem for Milwaukee.  Hawks really took advantage when he went down and I think too much is being played into this line.

I will take the Bucks here in this game.  I just think they have too much fire power here for the Hawks and the depth will be a big thing as well.  Hawks did make a statement game 1 but I think that was pretty much fools gold.  Bucks win this series and take a 2-1 lead tonight 

It's do or die here for the Clippers tonight and I think they respond in a big effort.  They should have won last game and it all falls on PG shoulders missing those late free throws.  Yes, Paul is returning but I think that might be a distraction actually.  Clippers win the crucial game 3 

I love the Nets here tonight.  Yes, I know injuries are playing a huge part but I also think this line move is too much.  IMO Durant at full strength is the best player in the game and I think for this game tonight he will give them the spark they need.  This series should be 3-1 right now and the Nets would be favored decently here, but injuries are swaying peoples mind.  Give me the Nets all day long

I really do like this Suns team quite a bit.  I think the love is getting a little out of hand here though. Yes, the Suns beat the Lakers but it was because of no Davis.  If he's playing I think the Lakers win that series.  I see a tight game down to the wire here tonight

Too much is being made of Harden being out here.  He was out the whole game last time but we are seeing a 4-5 point move here?  I'm confused and don't get why.  The Nets when they are interested they are the best team.  Right now they are focused and I think Durant makes a statement tonight

This series is going 7 here. I know AD isnt playing and the Lakers looked horrible without him but one game doesn’t make me jump on the Suns.  I think this is going 7 and LeBron makes a statement 

I think this series is going 7.  Portland let one slip away last game but I think they bounce back here and win easily.

Well it's absolutely a do or die situation here for the Clippers.  You simply can't go down 3-0 in the series and expect to win it. With that being said I believe Kawhi rises to the challenge here and we see their best game. 

I love the Heat here tonight.  They are down 2-0 in the series but this team lead by Butler has.  no give up.  They should. have won game. 1 in which they lost in OT.  I think they give an all out effort here tonight and walk away with the W!

I will take the Clippers tonight.  I dont think the Mavs make 17 threes again here tonight and the Clips will be more focused on defense especially guarding Luka.  I fully expect a big showing here tonight from them.

I like the Celtics here tonight to keep this within reason.  They really fought hard last night and had a poor 2nd half which lead to them not covering.  I do think the Nets sweep this series but I trust Boston and Stevens here to really have the team playing hard here.
