I really like the Mavs but they are one player short from being really good and reaching that next level.  I know the Clippers haven't been impressive per say but this roster is solid all the way through.  I think they make an opening statement today.

I think the Celtics are in trouble here with Brown being out the rest of the season.  He is by far their second best player and is a great defender also.  The Wiz the last month have been a team you just back blindly and make money.  The are 15-5 SU their last 20 games.

I will take the Hornets here tonight.  I just think they have the overall better team and I know Hayward wont be playing tonight.  I really think Lamelo is the real deal and you will see that here.  Pacers have been covering lately but that has been in the dog role not the favorite.  

I really like the Warriors here tonight vs the Jazz.  The Warriors are battling for the playoffs here and with Mitchell out I think they get it done tonight.  The Jazz this game doesn't really mean much to them honestly.  Curry is on fire right now, the Warriors have won 4 of their last 5 to make a nice push here

Pretty simple here both teams played last night.  The Hawks blew out the Suns and the Pacers had an embarrassing game vs the Kings.  I will gladly take the points with the Pacers in a much better spot here tonight.

Let's add the Wizards here tonight.  This team is playing for their playoffs and we are seeing a massive surge for them the last few weeks.  They really wanna make it and almost upset the Bucks last night.  I think the hangover lies more with the Raptors coming back from the West coast 

I absolutely love the Nets here tonight.  This is a revenge game from Sunday and you better believe that the Nets will be out for it tonight.  Bucks shot 50% for the game and I don't think they do that again here.  I think the Nets really make a statement win here tonight

Late add

Give me the Nets here at this price.  I know Giannis is back in the lineup but this is Nets team is out to prove something and I think they do in a big way today.  Durant and Kyrie area force and with them losing to Portland I think they were looking ahead to this game here 

I will take the Warriors here coming off back to back losses here.  Rockets have so many injuries and with their recent win over the Bucks I think they coast here.  Warriors make a statement

I'm taking the Celtics here playing some of their best basketball as of late and are healthy as well.  They have won 5 of their last 6 games.  Portland just 2-4 SU their last 6 games.  Celtics match up very well with the Blazers.  

Is there anyone in the world not on the Clippers tonight even with Kawhi being out?  Im guessing probably not so therefore we are grabbing the Pacers.  Weird spot for the Clippers here being first road game in 3 weeks.  Pacers have won 4 of 5.  

I like the Warriors here tonight.  They have battled injuries all year long but with Curry and Green a go and them as a dog it catches my eye here.  Nuggets had their big winning streak snapped last night.  They have also had a favorable schedule during the 8 game stretch only. playing 1 road game.  Warriors are live here tonight.  Also Murray is highly questionable for the Nuggets 

I really like the Knicks here tonight.  Lakers couldn't be more overvalued as they upset the Nets last game as a double digit underdog and now will be getting quite a bit of love.  I think the Knicks put forth a good effort.  They are 15-9 ATS at home this season and have covered 5 straight games. 

I will take the Cavs here in this game.  I'm by any means a Sixers believer at all and they don't deserve to be favored here in this game.  This will also be their 3rd road game in 4 nights.  Mavs had two days off and came out sluggish last night vs the Spurs and lost by 2.  I think that motivates them here tonight with a big effort. 

Suns are a very good team no doubt about it, but I just hate the spot for them here tonight against the Clippers.  Suns won a big game last night vs the best team in the West last night in OT vs the Jazz.  On the surface this seems like a big number but I think given the situation it makes total sense and I have no problem laying it tonight. 

The whole world will be on the Bucks here in this game.  This is their 6th and final game of this road trip which they have already had 3 wins on.  They are also just 3-4 SU their last 7 games so no exactly playing good.  Mavs are hot right now 5-1 their last 6 and coming off an ugly loss last night to the Rockets I fully expect a major bounce back 

I like the Suns here tonight to blow out the Thunder.  The Thunder are clearly extremely bad and playing a team like the SUn I see them struggling. Suns are 7-1 their last 8 games playing very well. The Thunder have some major injuries here and I don't see where they can play even more than 8 guys.  

I really like the Grizzlies here in this game tonight.  They are playing well going 4-2 SU their last 6 games.  Their only two losses were both by the hands of the Jazz.  They covered in one game and not in the other.  So this is the third time in 4 games they play each other and I really love this for Memphis here tonight. 

The Celtics have really fallen off here this season.  The Mavs are just a lot better all the way around.  Mavs are 3-2 Su their last 5.  Celtics are just 3-7 SU their last 10 games.  Borwn is out tonight for the Celtics as well. 

I trust odds makers here in this game making the Heat a small favorite.  They definitely haven't been playing well at all and yet are favored here?  I will take Miami here just based on that.  Pacers have beat the Heat both times this season so I think they get one here.

I like the Grizzlies here in this game.  I know the Jazz are great and everything but laying double digits here to another playoff team playing really good ball as well?  Grizz have won 3 straight and 4 of their last 5 games.  Jazz of back to back major blowouts which I think plays into the line.  Will take the Grizzlies and the points here

This line smells bad but have to take the Mavs here. We are getting a playoff team in the West here vs an average team in the East and TJ Warren one of their best players is out this game?  IMavs a re playing really well also going 8-3 their last 11.  

I will lay the short price here with the Nuggets in a great bounce back spot.  They just had an ugly ugly loss @ the Raports last game and I think tonight is a great spot for them.  Why? Well the Pelicans just beat the Nuggets @ Denver two games ago.  Nuggets shot 28% from deep which is not like them at all. Also given the fact they lost I think provides extra motivation here.  

These teams just played last night and the Clippers came out on top winning by 33.  The Spurs are a hard nosed team so losing in ugly fashion will fire them up tonight.  The Spurs are quietly a playoff team right now.  I just think the Spurs have too much pride here to get blown out again.

These teams just played and the Knicks came out on top.  I also look for the dog in the quick revenge situation.  The Knicks shot over 50% from the field and 53% from deep.  I think both of those will come down big time.  I like the Wizards to get it done tonight 

Way too much love for the Suns tonight. Yes, this team is on fire and give them credit but now laying this many?  How many people saw this coming?  Suns were only favored by 4.5 the previous meeting in Phoenix.  I think the Warriors are prime here for a good game.

I want no part of Bucks here on the road.  This team its just 6-10 ATS and are being way over valued here as they are 4-1 their last 5 but all 4 were at home.  Grizzlies are 3-1 their last 4 with a couple nice road wins.  Teams have really figured out the Bucks and this is too many to be laying 

I like the Pacers here in this game tonight.  Nuggets on a 4th road game here in 6 days and being over valued with all 3 wins so far.  Seems like a great let down spot in this game.

The Nets have been on a heck of a run here winning and covering 5 straight games.  I think a great time to fade them here as now they have been in LA for several days and probably have the LA flu.  Durant is out again here and the Clippers are playing well winning 5 of their last 6.

The home team has won both of the meetings in this series this season.  The Suns just had their big winning streak snapped last game vs the Nets and I always look to play against a team who has a streak like that snapped.  Pelicans have a great shot to win outright. 

Let's take the Celtics here in a revenge game here from the other night.  The Celtics lost off the big win over the Nuggets.  The Hawks shot a crazy 57% from the field and I doubt they can keep that up here.  The thing is even with that hot shooting they still only won by 8.  

I like the Grizzlies here tonight.  Memphis just recently lost earlier this month @ New Orleans but were favored by 1 I that game so we are getting a discount.  The Pelicans are a pathetic 4-10 on the road this season.  Morant is back and I think they get the job done 

I'm going to take the Celtics here who having struggled a little as of late.  They are much better at home this season and the Nuggets have lost 3 straight on the road.  

I like the Wizards here tonight with Russ vs his old team.  They have already met and the Rockets destroyed them in that game.  Oladipo is out for the Rockets tonight and this team is just trending south in a hurry.  They have lost 5 straight games.  I like the fact the Wizards beat Boston last night giving them a spark or at least I plan on it.

I will go with the Celtics here in this game as what seems really cheap price and maybe square.  This will be the Raptors 6th straight road game with 5 in 7 days and also on a back to back. The Celtics are just the better team and should be a little pissed following two straight road losses.  

I will take the Hawks here tonight catching this many points.  They are off back to back. ugly home losses so I think we see a nice bounce back.  Utah is a hot team but you are paying a premium for them.  The Hawks were only a 6.5 point dog @ Utah just 3 weeks ago.  Too many here tonight. 

I like the Nuggets here today against the hottest team in the league in the Jazz.  The Jazz already won two weeks @ Denver by only 4 points and they shot over 50% from the field in that game.  I think we get a big effort here with Murray back 

Good spot for the Hornets here.  This will only. be their 2nd game is the. last 8 days.  Both teams here are struggling big time coming into this game but the Magic are off a tough 5 game road trip.  Magic are still dealing. with injuries so give me the fresher team here.  Will look to play the Magic next game as this is a double header. 

I will take the Kings here tonight.  Knicks are getting a ton of love and. with them off a huge win over the Warriors I think it's time to back the Kings. The Kings have been one of the most disappointing teams in the league so far with all their young talent.  I think this is a great buy low here on them .

I love the Nets here tonight.  This is the ultimate revenge game from the Cavs beating them in double OT the previous game.  I dont care that. Durant is out.  The fact that the nets lost. means they will be motivated and focused here tonight.  

I will take the Raptors here in this game as they lost the previous one.  No Leonard or Butler for the heat. and Hero is questionable.  The Heat shot 49% in the game while the Raptors under 40. It still was a game decided by single digits despite that.  I think Toronto gets it done here

I'm going to back the Suns again here as I think they will want to end this road trip on a positive note so the effort will be here.  I thought the Rockets would respond better to the Harden trade then they did but it clearly hasn't worked that way. 

I like the Mavs here tonight in this game coming off 3 straight losses.  They will be trying to finish this 5 of 6 road trip here 500 and need this game tonight.  I think they are catching the Pacers in a good spot as this is the Pacers first game back from a west coast road trip.  Lavert is out and so is Turner for Indiana.  Depth is a real issue for them

The Lakers are playing well and I know it's scary going against them.  They have played one of the easier schedules in the league so far.  I also think now is the time to back the Warriors who pretty much full strength now.  Lakers getting a lot of love because they have covered 4 straight

I will take the Rockets here in this game.  I think the travel spot for the Bulls is just horrible.  They just finished a 12 day road trip and now are back home before having 3 days off.  They are also coming off a big win last night over the Mavs.  The Rockets are now familiar with the team they have without Harden and I like them here in this spot

I think this line move is still good here.  The Suns are still underrated here IMO and the Grizzlies are getting some love because they have won 4 straight.  Suns off an ugly loss to the Wizards  and having a full week off.  I think we get a max effort game out of them tonight. 

I will take the Clippers here to blow out the Pacers.  The Pacers did respond well following their big trade but this is a whole different animal in the Clippers.  They have won 4 of their last 5 and 5 of their last 7 games.  Pacers littler over valued following back to back road wins.  

I will taker the Pelicans here who have lost 5 straight.  During road trips teams very rarely don't win at least one game even the bad teams.  I think this is the case here for the Pelicans as this is one they know they can win and should win.  The Kings have injuries right as well.  

I will take the Nuggets here in this game who aren't getting enough credit for home court here.  Denver and Utah are both similar teams but Utah has been playing a little better.  I just love the spot for Denver more having two of rest and Utah coming off a 6 game road trip with one game after now back on road again.  I think Denver wins outright 

This one just seems off to me.  Yes, I know the Mavs have Prozingis back and Luka is a stud but this Mavs team is 5-4 and playing the Hornets who are playing their best ball right now.  They have won and covered 4 straight so confidence is high.  I know the Mavs have revenge on their mind but they are also missing several other players tonight

Yes, I know this is a huge line especially for Atlanta even with all the Sixers players out.  I think we still get a very good effort from the Hawks as they are struggling and will be focused here to get back on track.  Hawks have lost 4 straight but were in every single game as they were all single digits.  I just think how short handed the Sixers are I wonder when they get down if they dont just pack it in honestly 

I will take the Rockets here in this game.   The Lakers I think are pretty tired here and it showed last game vs the Bulls.  This will be their 4th gamer in 6 days with a couple travel days.  Davis is questionable tonight.  Rockets finally put forth an effort last game which. I think carries over here.  

I love the Warriors here playing the Clippers again.  I backed them last time and failed as the Clippers won by 7.  Well, the Warriors made only 8 threes that game and. simply still made a game of it. These are some of my favorite situations to back them again.  

I will lay it here as Vegas is clearly tilting their hand in this one.  The Rockets are 2-4 and are laying 6 to a 6-2 team hmmm?  I really like this Magic team dont get me wrong but they have played a pretty easy schedule outside of Miami.  I think Houston now for most part healthy or at least key players and they take care of business here.

I will gladly take the Grizzlies here in this game.  Nets are off two big wins without Durant and Kyrie and both are out again this game.  Throw in the fact they are on a back to back here and I think its a horrible spot for them.  

I will take the Warriors here in this game tonight and ride the hot hand of Curry right now.  Yes they started off slow because they had several players out and adjusting to new roles.  Now we are seeing them and what they are capable of.  George out for the Clippers tonight as well plays a big factor. 

This will be a public play no doubt but I will Miami here in this game. Boston is still dealing with some injuries and everything plus they play Miami in a couple games.  They are also wrapping up a a 4. game road trip and think they are happy going 2-2 on it.  Miami wins this

I will lay the short number here with the Nuggets who will be out for revenge.  They lost the first game of the season in OT vs the Kings.  Kings were 8 point dogs in that game and now only 2 so this is a discount here.  Denver following a slow start I think we get their full attention here. 

I will take the Pistons here in this game.  Yes, they played last night but they sat Rose and Griffin and I believe that was because they want this one here tonight.  Well the Warriors are clearly trying to find their identity and right now isn't the time to back them.  Pistons have won a game yet and are hungry so lets take a chance

Neither team has won a game yet this season but the Wizards dont deceiver to be laying this amount of points to anyone.  This is also the first game of these two teams playing each other again on Thursday.  I like the Bulls here tonight and wouldn't be shocked if they won outright

The Cavs are 3-0 SU and ATS to start the season and now. are favored, who would have thought.  the Cavs are also very banged up right now with several guys out again this game.  The Knicks I think they can ride the momentum here following a nice win over the Bucks.  First game of the road trip and I think we get good effort here

I will take the Bulls here to put forth a better effort than their opening game.  This is a division rival here in the Pacers.   The Bulls just shot terrible from the field and the hawks were lights out.  Indiana won and covered vs the Knicks but what does that exactly mean?  I think the Bulls bounce back here

I will take the Magic here on the ML.  First, they looked very good in their first game vs the Heat winning by 6 as a 4.5 point dog.  I also think this is a unique situation to take them.  These teams play a back to back and tomorrow and its at the Wizards again.  Public will love backing Westbrook but don't sleep on the magic this season

I will lay it here with the Clippers who I think are out for. revenge this season.   There is no other team that wants revenge more than the Clippers do here vs the Nuggets.  The Clippers blew a 3-1 lead in the series in the playoffs so I guarantee here Kawhi and company have had. this one circled.  Nuggets also coming off an OT loss 

I quite frankly can't believe this line at all.  Yes, the Warriors looked bad and got blown out but really  now getting double digits?  I just think the Bucks are going to be a bet against here early and often. They lack. the depth and I. think. the Warriors are a good. matchup against them.  

I will take the Suns here as I think this team is a for sure playoff team in the Western Conference the year.   They now have Chris Paul and granted he's old but he can still play and is a valuable asset.  Mavs dont have Porzingis still and they will miss him.  Luka is a beast but I think the Suns take a major leap forward. 

I know Kemba is out for Boston but I will take them here in this spot.  I think Boston has a complete team and quite frankly I just dont like what happened to the Bucks in the bubble.  I think they were exposed in a major way and I dont trust them.  

I think it has been clear this off season that the Lakers were definitely not in favor of starting out the season this early since they had to play well into the fall.  I really like the Lakers team what they have done and I think we see LeBron and Davis kinda let the younger guys try. and find their spot which they could struggle.  They will find their stride but I dont wanna back them here.  Clippers will be the more motivated team and Kawhi has made that clear this off season 

Yes, I think the Nets will make the finals this year if they can stay healthy.  During the season though, I will look to fade them as they try and figure out all the new pieces with a healthy Kyrie and Durant.  The Warriors get a healthy Curry back and he will be out for revenge this season.  I know Klay is out and that is a big blow to them, but they have pieces and I expect Wiseman the rookie to contribute big time for them.

I’m going to take the Lakers here tonight in a big bounce back after losing game 3.  The Lakers dropped Game 3 because of the crazy performance by Butler.  Lakers don’t want this series being tied and the Heat aren’t 100% healthy right now.  LeBron makes this a big time statement game tonight 

I think the Miami Heart story is a great one and you have to love the way they play basketball.  My things here is that this is a little bit of different pressure for these young shooters.  This is familiar territory for LeBron and he knows the importance of game 1 in the finals.  I do think the Heat will win 1 game so will be looking to back them at some point but just not tonight for the opener. 

I really like the Lakers here tonight.  I definitely think the betting public will be all over the Nuggets here as now for once again a 3rd straight series they are down 3-1.  Well, they aren't pulling any major comeback here to the Lakers.  LeBron and company will be extra motivated here to end the series and get a few days off before the finals.  Denver even shot 50% from the field last game and still lost by 6.  I think this is a nice discount here to back the Lakers given the situation

I'm going back to the Lakers here as they know this is a big time important game with the Nuggets coming off a win.  The Lakers. cut into the lead but really couldn't do much as in the 4th they have 3 straight possessions that ultimately cost them the game.  The Nuggets seem to be everyones choice now because of beating the Clippers.  I'm not buying it here.

A lot of love here for the Celtics based on the return of Hayward from the last game.  I just think Miami is the overall better team with much better shooters.  This Heat team is the real deal and aren't getting respect just because of one guy now?  Seems like an overreaction to me.  

This series is over plain and simple.  The shot that AD hit at the buzzer last game to give them the win and 2-0 lead just. ended this and the Nuggets know this.  I think it will be extremely hard for them to bounce back from a loss like that.  The momentum they were playing with is now all gone just like that IMO.  Lakers smell blood in the water and I think they capitalize.

I think the betting public will fall in love with the Nuggets here given the fact they just pulled off a mo miracle comeback against the Clipppers.  I just wonder how much is in the tank here as the Lakers know that and will be looking to jump on them early.  I see this series going 5 with the Lakers taking it fairly easy!

There is no team right now hotter than the Heat in the bubble.  They have only lost 1 game in the playoffs and are well rested here compared to Boston coming off a tough 7 game series against the Raptors.  The Heat have so many shooters and match up very well with the Celtics.  I look for them to take game 1

Crunch time here for the Rockets tonight.  Down 2-1 in the series you simply can't lose this game and expect to come back.  The Lakers were crazy hot last game shooting 55% for the game.  In fact they shot 56% the game before that.  They are due to come back to earth a little here.  I think this game comes down to the wire. 

I think this series is all but over right now.  The Celtics should have won this series already if it weren't for the last second shot in game 3 that avoided the Raptors going down 3-0 in the series at that time.  Boston will want to end this game tonight and I believer they do fairly easily once again.  

I know there is still a chance that Giannis plays here tonight but clearly he won’t be anywhere near 100%.  The Bucks played well without him give them credit but this series is over.  Miami looks like the team going to the finals.  They are extremely balanced lead by Butler.  Miami puts them away easily tonight 

Let’s go with Boston here now after dropping 2 straight game.  The Raptors I have backed but they were extremely lucky in game 3 to win at the buzzer.  Celtics are the better overall team and I think they prove that today and come out on top
