Manhattan -1.5

Manhattan and Holy Cross face off early on Friday night, and in this game, the favorites have the value.

After winning the first two games of season including a big win over Harvard they come into this game struggling having lost four games in a row, but even though they have lost four in a row, they have still played well defensively. 

They come into this game giving up 70 points per game which isn't great, but it's still better then Holy Cross.

Holy Cross also comes into this game struggling having lost three games in a row, and struggled defensively. 

They are giving up over 77 points per game, and in two of the last three games they have given up over 87 points.

I think they will struggle defensively again and that will be the case again in this game.

Back Manhattan.

Notre Dame +6

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the Michigan State Spartans face off on Thursday, and with the Fighting Irish as underdogs they have the value.

On paper the Fighting Irish and the Spartans are pretty similar teams, and that is exactly how this game will play out. 

The Fighting Irish have already been battle tested this year. In their last game they took on a very good Wichita State squad, and it went all the way to the end but they pulled it out winning 67-66.

Both of these teams are good on the defensive side of the ball, and I think that will play to the advantage of the Fighting Irish as it should be a low scoring game.

The Fighting Irish know how to battle in  low scoring game, and I think that will work to their advantage. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Irish are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big Ten. Fighting Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Connecticut -10.5

UConn and Columbia face off on Wednesday night, and in this game the Huskies have all the value. 

Columbia has had a terrible season this year, coming into this game with only one win, and although they have played tough competition they haven't really stayed competitive in any of those games. 

UConn come into this game having lost two straight, but this is a really good bounce back spot for them.

They beat a good Oregon team before going on the two game losing streak, so they have the talent to play with good games.

I think that UConn will be able to push the pace against a Columbia defense who is giving up 79 points per game and that will be the difference. 

Back UConn

Jazz -1.5

The Utah Jazz and the Denver Nuggets face off on Tuesday night, and with the Jazz as only slight favorites they have the value.

After going through some struggles early in the season, the Jazz seem to have figured out how to play without Rudy Gobert having won the last two games.

For a team that struggled to score early in the season that has really changed having scored 110 and 121 points respectively

For Denver they have struggled on the defensive end of the floor giving up over 106 points per game.

The Jazz will find their offensive success in this game, and the defense will step up big on the way to a cover.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Northwest. Favorite is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings

Cavs -3

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Miami Heat face off on Tuesday night and in this game the Cavaliers have the eat.

After starting off the season slow the Cleveland Cavaliers seemed to have figured it out. They come into this game having won eight games in a row, and on Monday night they beat the 76ers 113-91.

LeBron James is playing out of his mind right now and has the Cavaliers on his back. Against the 76ers he put up 30 points, 13 rebounds and six assists. 

The biggest change for the Cavaliers though has been on the defensive side of the ball. Now they aren't great but they are only giving up 103 points per game over the last five games, compared to 110 the rest of the season.

The Heat won't have any answer for LeBron James and that will lead to a victory and a cover.

Some trends to note. Heat are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Cleveland. Home team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings.

Ohio -2.5

Iona and and Ohio face off on Tuesday night, and in this game the value lies with the favorites. 

Iona is used to having a really good team, but that doesn't seem to be the case this year. They come into this game having lost two games in a row against two teams who probably won't be making the tournament this year.

On the road this year Iona has had issues scoring points coming into this game averaging only 64 points a game. 

Ohio on the other hand has no issue scoring points coming into this game averaging 78.5 points per game.

I think that will be the difference in this game. The Ohio Bobcats have more offensive firepower and that will lead to the cover.

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Gaels are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games.

Back the Bobcats

Lakers +5

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Clippers face off on in this game, and in this one, the underdog has the value.

Both of these teams are bad, and honestly the Lakers might actually be the better in this game. 

The Clippers come into this game on a two game winning streak, but those two wins were over the Kings and the Hawks, two of the worst teams in the NBA.

In their last game they only beat the Kings by two points in a very low scoring game.

The Lakers as of late have done a good job of pushing the pace, and that has led to them averaging 110 points over the last five games. 

The Clippers on the other hand have only averaged 99.6 points per game. I think the Lakers will have success pushing the pace in this game, and that will lead to a cover.

Back the Lakers.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Clippers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Syracuse -2

The Syracuse Orange and the Maryland Terrapins face off in this game, and with the Orange at home, I like their value.

The Maryland Terrapins have had a decent season so far this year, but they haven't played a good team yet this year, and yet they still have lost a game against St. Bonaventure.

This is also their first road of the game earlier, and Syracuse is a tough place to play. The Terrapins have had problems scoring this year at times like in their game against St. Bonaventure in which they only put up 61 points.

For the Orange they also haven't really been tested yet this year, but they have done a good job of beating the competition they were supposed to.

For the Orange they have been good on the defensive side giving up only 57.6 points per game and opponents are only shooting 33 percent from the field.

I think the defense will step up and the home crowd will be the difference.

Some trends to note. Orange are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Terrapins are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back the Orange.

Yale -2.5

The Yale Bulldogs and the Delaware Blue Hens face off on Monday night, and with the Bulldogs being the more experienced team they have the value in this game. 

The Bulldogs record doesn't look great right now, but they have already played Creighton and Wisconsin, and those have given them some really good experience.

if you take out those two games their only loss was to Vermont, a team that gave Kentucky everything they could handle. 

The Bulldogs are team that likes to push the pace, and really get up and down the floor. They come into this game averaging 75.8 points per game while shooting 44 percent from the field.

For the Blue Hens they like to play a slower paced game averaging only 65 points per game. I think the Bulldogs will be able to push the pace in this game, and that will be the difference.

Duke -2.5

The Duke Blue Devils and the Florida Gators face off Sunday in the Championship of the PK80 tournament, and in this one, the favorites have the value.

The Duke Blue Devils showed what they are all about in their last game. They have one of the most loaded teams in the country.

Against Texas they went down big early, but they just have too much talent and wear opponents down and that leads to victory. 

Now the Gators are a good team, but they just don't have enough talent to keep up the Blue Devils.

Some trends to note.Blue Devils are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Gators are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. Atlantic Coast.

Gonzaga -1

The Texas Longhorns and the Gonzaga Bulldogs face off on Sunday night, and with this game basically as a pick em, the Bulldogs have the value.

The Texas Longhorns have to be really reeling coming into this game. They had a big lead in the second half against the Duke Blue Devils, but a big collapse lost them the game, 

After such a big letdown, it's going to very hard to bounce back. 

The Gonzaga Bulldogs have a lot of advantages in this game, and it starts with the location of this game.

This game takes place in Portland, and with Gonzaga fans filling the stands, this is basically a home game for them.

They also have the better offense. They come into this game averaging 94.6 points per game, while Texas only averaging 80.4

I think the Bulldogs will be able to pus the pace, and that will lead to a victory.

Some trends to note. Longhorns are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss.  Bulldogs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Back the Bulldogs.

Celtics -2

The Boston Celtics and the Indiana Pacers face off on Saturday night, and the favorites have the value in this game.

The Celtics had their win streak snapped two games ago, but in their last game against the Magic they bounced back in a big way.

The offense jumped out to an early lead, and they never looked back on the way to a 118-103 victory. 

The strength of this team all year has been the defense though, and that will be the difference in this game.

They are only giving up 95.7 points per game, and although the Pacers have a good offense, I think the Celtics will have no issue slowing them down.

The Pacers defense hasn't been good this year giving up 107 points per game, and I think the Celtics will attack that.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Virginia Tech -23

The Virginia Tech Hokies and the Morehead State Eagles get an early tip off on Saturday, and in this game the favorites have the value.

The Hokies strength this year has been the offense coming into this game averaging over 103 points per game.

They are going to have all kinds of chances to score in this game against a very bad Eagles defense that is giving up 82 points per game.

On the offensive side the Eagles haven't been good either coming into this game only averaging 66.5 points per game.

The Hokies will be able to push the pace in this one, and their ability to score at will lead to a blowout.

Some trends to note. Eagles are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Hokies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Back the Hokies.

Ohio State -3.5

The Ohio State Buckeyes and the Stanford Cardinal face off on Friday night, and in this game the favorites have the value.

The Stanford Cardinal have dealt with some injury issues this year, and that has really hurt their depth which in turn has hurt their chances to win games.

They come into this game having lost three of the last four games including against Eastern Washington a game they were favored over by 16.5 points.

For the Cardinals their weakness this year has been on the defensive side of the court. They are currently giving up 78 points per game, compared to Ohio State who only give up 68 points per game.

I think that will be the difference in this game. The Buckeyes will play better defense, and that will lead to the victory.

Back the Buckeyes

Some trends to note. Cardinal are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Buckeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points.

Knicks -2

The New York Knicks and the Atlanta Hawks face off on Friday, and with the Knicks playing really good basketball coming into this game, they have the value.

The Knicks come into this game with all kinds of confidence having won two games in a row over the Clippers and the Raptors. 

They have done a good job offensively this year, currently averaging 104.9 points per game. The Hawks aren't particularly good at defense giving up over 108 points per game. 

They also come into this game struggling having lost three in a row, and that has a lot to do with their struggles to score points.

The Knicks will take advantage of the Hawks defensive struggles, and that will be the difference in this game.

Some trends to note. Knicks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Knicks are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Oklahoma -1

The Oklahoma Sooners and the Arizona Razorbacks face off on Thanksgiving, and with this game as nearly a pick em, the Sooners have the value in this one.

Last year the Oklahoma Sooners had a talent but they were young. This year those players have another year under their belt, and they added Trae Young who might be the freshman of the year when all is said and done.

He comes into this game averaging 18.5 points, and pacing an offense that really likes to run and puts up 108 points per game. 

The Sooners have been blowing people out this year, while the Razorbacks have been playing a little closer match ups.

In their last game against Fresno State they only won by eight points, while they were 13 point favorites.

The Sooners just have too much offense, and the Razorbacks won't be able to keep up.

Some trends to note. Sooners are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Razorbacks are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

Back the Sooners.

St. Johns -5

The St. Johns Red Storm and the Oregon State Beavers face off on Thanksgiving, and with St. Johns off to such a good start. they have the value.

The Oregon State Beavers come into this game with a 2-1 record, but they haven't covered a spread yet, and their loss was a bad one against the Wyoming Cowboys. 

Their defense has struggled this year, and that has been what has let them down. The Beavers are giving up 41.4 percent from beyond the arc, and opponents are scoring 79.3 points per game. 

Sophomore guard Marcus LoVett will be the difference in this game for the Red Storm. He is averaging 15 points per game, and he can shoot the three coming into this game with nine made already this year.

He and the St. Johns offense will take advantage of the struggles of the Beavers defense, and really light it up from three.

Some trends to note. Red Storm are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games. Beavers are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 non-conference games.

St. Louis -11.5

St. Louis and Detroit face off on Wednesday night, and the favorites have all the value in this game.

These two teams have a really good measure stick because they both have a common opponent already this year. 

St. Louis beat Virginia Tech by a final score of 77-71, while Detroit Mercy lost to them 111-79.

The biggest difference in that game was the defense played, and I think that will also be the struggle in this game. 

On the season Detroit Mercy gives up 107.3 points per game. Now St. Louis isn't a great offensive team, but the struggles of Detroit will make St. Louis's offense look really good.

St. Louis has more talent and they will cover this with ease.

Some trends to note. St. Louis is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Detroit Mercy is 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game.

Celtics -3

We rolled with the Celtics in their last game to cover the spread, and they did, and we will roll with them again in this one. 

The Celtics come into this game as the hottest team in the NBA not only in terms of winning, but also in terms of covering spreads.

They come into this game having covered the spread in the last five games. They got tested in their last game against the Mavericks but they once again made winning plays down the stretch to win and cover.

For the Heat they are coming into this game off a bad loss by 25 points to the Pacers. They were only able to score 90 points in that game, and that isn't good coming into a game against a very good Celtics team on the defensive end.

I just don't think the Heat will score enough to keep it close.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. Heat are 2-12-2 ATS in their last 16 home games.

Central Michigan Chippewas -2

The Central Michigan Chippewas and the Sam Houston State Bearkats face off on Wednesday and in this game the favorites have the value.

The Central Michigan Chippewas have had a nice season so far this year, and their only loss was by eight points against the Michigan Wolverines.

Although their other two games have been cupcake games, I think that game will give this team a lot of experience in this one. 

The strength of the Chippewas is the offense, and they want to run other teams out of the gym. In two of three games this year the Chippewas have scored at least 103 points.

The Bearkats come into this game off a loss to Idaho in their last game, and i think that will still affect them in this one. 

The Bearkats also aren't a great offensive team, and I don't think they will have any chance to keep up in this one.

Some trends to note. Bearkats are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 non-conference games. Chippewas are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 non-conference games.

La-Salle and Miami face off on Wednesday night, and with the Miami having a really nice season so far this year, they have the value. 

La-Salle comes into this game having lost two games in a row. They lost by eight points to Northwestern and by 21 points to Boston College, both teams who are not at the same level as Miami.

Their defense has struggled at times this year, giving up 82 points in each of the last two games. 

The Miami Hurricanes know how to score points, and score them in bunches. On the season they are averaging 85.3 points per game.

The key to beating La-Salle is to push the pace, and I think the Hurricanes will have no issue doing that.

This game will be a blowout.

Some trends to note. Explorers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hurricanes are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 vs. Atlantic 10.

Valparaiso and Samford face off on Tuesday, and in this game the favorites have the value. 

Samford has gotten off to a terrible start this year coming into this game with only one win and three losses. 

In the last two games their defense has really let them down giving up 88 and 105 points respectively in the two games.

That isn't a good combination when they are about to play an offense as good as Valparaiso. Coming into this game they are averaging 88.5 points per game. 

They will be able to push the pace in this game, and I think that will lead to a blowout. I am really surprised to see the line as close as it is. 

Some trends to note. Crusaders are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Southern. Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

The Boston Celtics and the Dallas Mavericks face off on Monday night, and in this game the favorites have the value.

The Mavericks biggest struggle this year has been scoring points, coming into this game only averaging 98.9 points per game.

They will be facing a Celtics team who's strength has been on the defensive side of the ball. They are holding opponents 94.4 points per game. 

The Celtics strength isn't scoring points, they have enough guys who can score to make games out reach when they need too.

I think the Mavericks will struggle to score against a very good Celtics defense. I think the Celtics will run away with this game.

 Some trends to note. Celtics are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Southwest. Mavericks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.

The Furman Paladins and the Duke Blue Devils face off on Monday night, and in this one the favorites have the value.

The Furman Paladins come into this game with a 2-1 record. In their last game against Butler they actually played well, but it wasn't enough and they still ended up losing by 17 points. 

That is very concerning coming into this game, because the Duke Blue Devils are a much better team then Butler.

Duke come into this game with a 3-0 record and their phenomenal Freshman have lived up to the hype so far.

The Blue Devils have too much talent, and the Paladins will have no answer. This game is going to get ugly early, and the Blue Devils will win with ease.

The Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers face off on Monday night, and with the Cavaliers coming into this game hot, they have the value.

The Cavaliers didn't get off to the start they wanted, but they come into this game playing a lot better and a lot of that has to do with LeBron James. 

They come into this game having won four straight games each by at least three points. They like to push the pace, and try to outscore the opponents. They don't play much defense, but that doesn't matter much when they have as much offensive production as they have had the last few games.

A fast tempo game isn't a good thing for the Pistons in this game. They will be playing in the second night of a back to back after playing in Minnesota on Sunday night.

I think their tired legs will give out in the second half, and the Cavaliers will pull away.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Manhattan -6

The Manhattan Jaspers and the UMKC Kangaroos face off on in an early tip off Monday, and the favorites have the advantage in this game.

The Kangaroos have played a tough schedule to start the season, but they have looked really bad early on. 

Their only win is against a non division one opponent. In their last game they played a Loyola Illinois squad that they should have matched up well with, but they really struggled only putting up 56 points and losing by ten points.

Scoring points has been an issue all year for this team, and that will be the downfall in this game. The Jaspers come into this game averaging 76.5 points per game. 

I think they will have no issue pushing the pace in this game, and the Kangaroos just won't be able to come up.

Some trend to note. Jaspers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games. Kangaroos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Long Beach State +12

Oregon State and Long Beach State face off on Saturday night, and with Long Beach State coming into this game playing some good basketball, and as underdogs they have the value.

Not many people had much of an idea of what to expect coming in with this Oregon State Beavers team for this season, and early on they haven't really answered many questions.

After winning the first game, but not covering the spread, they faced the Wyoming Cowboys in their last game.

They came as 7.5 point favorites, but they didn't really have anyone to rely on to make big shots down the stretch, and that led to the defeat 75-66. 

For Long Beach State they have looked really good so far this season running up the score.They have won each of the first two games, and are averaging 83 points per game so far this season.

I think they will be able to push the pace in this game, and if nothing else keep it close although I wouldn't be surprised to see them win.

Some trends to note. 49ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Beavers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Thunder -1.5

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the San Antonio Spurs face off on Friday night, and with the Thunder as slight favorites they have the value.

The Spurs come into this game with a 2-2 record in their last four games, but the two wins were over the Bulls and Mavericks, two of the worst teams in the country.

In the two losses against the Timberwolves and the Bucks, they really struggled to score, and that led to the losses.

Against the Timberwolves they put up only 86 points and keep in mind the Timberwolves are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the defensive side of the floor. 

The Thunder come into this game playing really good defense, only giving up 97 points per game.

I think their lock down defense will make life very tough on the Spurs offense, and that will lead to the Thunder victory. 

Some trends to note. Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Thunder are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.

The Florida State Seminoles vs. Fordham Rams face off on Friday night, and the favorite has the value in this game.

The Florida State Seminoles had an impressive win in their first game of the season beating George Washington by a final score of 87-67. 

Coming into the season most expected George Washington to finish 10th or 11th in the A10 and most expected Fordam to finish 12th or 13th.

The Seminoles only return one starter from last year, but this is still a deep squad that have a lot of experience from last year.

Florida State also likes to play a deep rotation usually featuring 10 or 11 players. The Rams don't have much bench depth, and I think that will be the difference in this game.

The Seminoles will be allowed to run, and the Rams will have no answer.

The Houston Cougars and the Drexel Dragons face off in this one, and with Houston getting back to full strength they have the value in this one.

The Houston Cougars looked really good in their first game against McNeese state winning by a final score of 81-53.

The offense really looked good, and the defense did what it needed to do to come out ahead in a convincing fashion. 

The Cougars are also going to get a boost in this game, with Rob Gray who has scored in double figures in 32 straight games coming back from a one game suspension. 

The Drexel Dragons gave up 81 points in the first game of the season, and that is very concerning when you are facing a team like the Cougars.

I think the Cougars will flex their muscles in this game.

Celtics +7.5

The Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors face off on Thursday night, and with the Celtics having some points to work with, they have the value here. 

The Celtics look like a team that could easily come out of the East, and this is a good early season test for them.

The Celtics strength is on the defensive end, and even against good offensive teams, they have shut teams down.

They held the Brooklyn Nets, a really good offensive team to only 102 points. On the offensive end the Celtics are very unselfish, and most nights it can be anyone that steps up and scores a lot of points to lead the team to victory.

I think this will be a lower scoring game compared to what the Warriors are used to playing, and that will help out the Celtics.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Underdog is 24-8-1 ATS in the last 33 meetings.

The Boise State Broncos and the UTEP Miners play in their first game of the Puerto Rico Tip off, and in this one, the favorites have the value.

The Boise State Broncos have shown in the first couple games what they are going to be. They are going to be a team that pushes the pace, and tries to score a lot of points, and in the first couple of games they have been successful doing that.

They come into this one averaging 97 points per game, and are led by a couple of guards who have a lot of experience playing in big games.

The Miners are a younger group that's strength is on the inside, and I don't think they are going to have much answer for the Broncos guards.

I think the Broncos will run up the score, and that will lead to a victory and a cover.

The South Carolina Gamecocks and the Illinois State Redbirds face off Thursday afternoon, and the Gamecocks have the value in this one.

The Illinois State Redbirds come into this game looking for their first win of the season, coming into this game 0-1. 

In their first game of the season they faced Florida Gulf Coast and gave up 98 points on the way to a loss. 

For the Gamecocks they come into this game off two straight wins, where the offense scored with ease.

The Gamecocks will be looking for blood when these two tip off knowing how bad the Redbirds played on the defensive side in the first game.

I think that the Gamecocks will push the pace, and the Redbirds will have no answer.

Back the Gamecocks.

Nevada -5

The Nevada Wolfpack and the Santa Clara Broncos face off on Wednesday night, and with the Wolfpack as slight favorites, they have the value.

The Nevada Wolfpack come into this game with two wins, and two covers of the spreads against two teams in Rhode Island and Idaho who are projected to compete for their conference title.

The Wolfpack have done a good job of putting up points so far this year, averaging 88 points in this two games. 

For Santa Clara they are not battle tested as of yet. Santa Clara has only played one game so far this year, and that was over Division three competition. 

They are going to get thrown into the fire very quickly against a very good Wolfpack team, and I don't think they will be ready for it.

The Wolfpack will push the pace, and that will lead to an easy victory.

Back Nevada.

Cavs -1.5

The Cleveland Cavaliers and the Charlotte Hornets face off on Wednesday night, and with the Cavs as slight favorites they have the value.

The Cavaliers haven't had the type of season they were hoping so far this year, but they come into this game off a big win in their last game.

Against the Knicks they were down big in the third quarter, but LeBron James did what he does best and took over the game, and they were able to have a huge comeback win.

The biggest issue the Cavaliers have had this year has been the defense giving up 112 points per game, but in the last game against the Knicks they really locked down in the fourth quarter and held them to only 101 points. 

The Hornets aren't also a team that usually runs up the score coming into this game only averaging 103 points per game. 

I think LeBron James will have another signature game in this one, and the defense will step up big again in this one. 

Some trends to note. Hornets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Central. Cavaliers are 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings

Back the Cavs

Wizards +1

The Washington Wizards and the Miami Heat face off on Wednesday night, and when you can get the Wizards as underdogs against a team with a worse record, most time it's worth the bet.

The Washington Wizards have been playing really good basketball coming into this one having won three straight games, and they covered the spread in each of those games. 

The strength of this team for the Wizards once again is their offense. They are currently shooting 47.4 percent from the field and putting up over 111 points per game. 

For the Heat they are coming into this game having won two of the last three games, but the two wins were over the Jazz and the Suns, both teams that are really struggling. 

The Heat come into this game only averaging 101.9 points per game. I think the Wizards will once again push the pace in this game, and the Heat won't have any answer.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Heat are 0-9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games.

Back the Wizards.

Colorado -11

The Colorado Buffaloes and the Denver Pioneers face off on Tuesday night, and with the Buffaloes not having to win by too many points, they have the value.

The Buffaloes took on Northern Colorado in their first game and they really didn't look very good, but they still came out ahead 66-51 and covered the spread of -11.

They didn't look very motivated but the final score was never in really in question, but I don't think they will come out slow in this one.

On the other side of this match up is Denver who played UC Irvine in their first game and were actually five point favorites.

The defense really struggled though and that led UC Irvine to a 83-69 victory over the Pioneers.

If this team couldn't beat UC Irvine, this game is going to get really ugly early for them.

Back the Buffaloes.

Spurs -6.5

The San Antonio Spurs got off to a slow start this year, but they finally seem to be figuring it out, and in this game they have the value. 

The Spurs come into this game with all sorts of confidence after putting a beat down on a very bad Bulls team in their last game.

The Bulls are a lot like the Mavs, they are a young team that still seems to be trying to figure it out on both sides of the floor. 

For the Mavs their biggest struggles are on the defensive side of the floor giving up 107.7 points per game coming into this one. 

In the last game the Spurs put up 133 points against the Bulls, and the offense seems to be really rolling.

The offense is going to be the difference in this game, and the Spurs will have an easy cover.

Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Mavericks are 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games. 

Back the Spurs

Duke -1.5

The Duke Blue Devils and the Michigan State Spartans face off on Tuesday night in the Champions Classic, and with the Duke as slight favorites they have the value. 

On paper the Duke Blue Devils probably have the best team in the country. In this game they will be starting four five star freshman, and Senior Grayson Allen who is one of the better players in the country. 

This Blue Devils team is a team that likes to push tempo, and get out and run having scored 97 and 99 points respectively in the first two games. 

Tom Izzo has also had problems beating the Blue Devils in his time at Michigan State. Since Tom Izzo came to Michigan State the two teams have faced of 11 times, and Duke has won ten of those games.

I think the Blue Devils have more talent and although the Spartans have Miles Bridges I don't think that will be enough in this game. 

Some trends to note. DUKE are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Big Ten. DUKE are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.

Back the Blue Devils

Wichita State -16

The Wichita State Shockers and the Charleston Cougars face off on Monday night, and with this line actually pretty close, the Shockers have the value.

The Shockers got off their season to a nice start against the University of Missouri Kansas City winning 109-57.

Now UMKC isn't good by any means, but you still have to be a good team to put up 100 points, and they really focused on the defensive end which was good to see.

For the Cougars they played Iona in their first game, and it took till overtime to win that game. Even with the game going to overtime they were only able to put up 68 points.

This game is going to feature a lot of up and down play, and a lot of scoring, and the Cougars won't be able to keep up.

Back the Shockers.

Xavier -23

The Xavier Musketeers and the Rider Broncos face off on Monday night, and with the line in this one the Musketeers have the value in this one.

The Musketeers come into this game ranked 17th in the country, and off a huge win in their first game. 

The Musketeers faced off in the first game with Morehead State and were only 27.5 point favorites. The Musketeers offense got rolling early and that led to a 101-49 beat down of their opponents.

Now the Broncos were able to score 90 points in their first game against Hampton and were able to win, but they also gave up 75 points in that game, which is concerning.

The Musketeers are a much better offense and that will show early on in this game. I think they will run the Broncos out of the gym on the way to a victory.

Back the Musketeers

Rockets -3

The Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers face off on Sunday night, and with the Rockets coming in as only slight favorites, they have the value.

The Pacers got off to a nice start to this season, but come into this game struggling. They have lost four of the last five games with only win coming against the Bulls in their last game. 

The reason for the struggles have been on the defensive side of the ball. They come into this game giving up 108.4 points per game. 

That isn't a good recipe against a Houston Rockets offense that seems to be getting rolling. Over the last five games they have averaged 120.6 points per game. 

The Rockets offense is going to be too much in this game.

Some trends to note. Favorite is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

Back the Rockets.

Nets +8.5

The Brooklyn Nets and the Utah Jazz face off on Saturday night, and with the Jazz struggling the Nets as underdogs have the value in this one.

The Utah Jazz have really struggled on the offensive end coming into this game only averaging 97 points per game.

Last night against the Heat they only were able to score 74 points, and only eight points in the third quarter.

The Heat are decent on the defensive side, but not great, so the fact they were only able to put up 74 points is very concerning, especially playing against the Nets.

The one thing the Nets don't struggle doing is scoring points. The Nets come into this game averaging 111 points per game which is 3rd in the NBA. 

I think they will score enough points to keep it close.

Some trends to note. Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Jazz are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.

Magic -3

The Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic face off on Friday night, and with the Magic as slight favorites they have the value.

The Suns have had all kinds of trouble this season on and off the court and it doesn't seem like it will get any better soon. 

They come into this game having lost four games in a row, and in all four games they failed to cover the spread. 

The biggest struggle for this team has been on the defensive side of the ball. They are currently allowing opponents to score over 115 points per game. 

On the other side of this match up is the Magic who's biggest strength has been scoring the ball. They come into this game 109.3 points per game. 

I would expect them to have no issue scoring the rock in this game. 

Some trends to note. Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last four games. Suns are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. 

Back the Magic

West Virginia -6.5

The West Virginia Mountaineers and the Texas A&M Aggies face off on Friday night, and with the Aggies so short handed the Mountaineers have the value.

The Aggies are really short handed for this game, missing their two best players. Robin Williams who was a preseason pick for the SEC player of the year is suspend for this game, along with point guard JJ Caldwell who really makes the offense run.

The West Virginia Mountaineers are expected to have another good season, and come into this year ranked in the top 15 of most major polls. 

Jevon Carter is back for the Mountaineers and with Caldwell out, and not able to guard him I think he will have a field day in this one.

This one will get ugly early.

 Back the Mountaineers.

76ers +7

Coming into this season the 76ers were a trendy pick to have some success this year, and after a slow start the 76ers are playing a lot better now. 

They come into this game having won four games in a row, and have covered the spread in each of those games. 

For the 76ers the strength has been on the offensive end as of late. They have scored 112 points in each of the last four games.

Now they are playing the Jazz in this game who like to play a slower pace of play, but their defense hasn't been as good as of years past.

In each of the last three games they have given up at least 103 points. I think the 76ers will be able to push the pace of this game, and run up the score. 

Some trends to note. Jazz are 1-5  ATS in their last six against NBA Atlantic.  76ers are 4-1 ATS in their last five Tuesday games.

Suns -1

The Phoenix Suns and the Brooklyn Nets face off on Monday night, and with the Suns as slight underdogs they have the value.

These two teams have already faced off once this year and the Suns were able to pull the upset against the Nets on their home court. 

Over the last five games the Suns have played really well on the offensive side of the court. In those games they are averaging 105 points while shooting 44.4 percent from the field. 

They will be facing a Nets team that has struggled on the defensive end. In the last five games the Nets have given up 124 points per game and opponents are shooting 49.3 percent from the field. 

The Nets are also dealing with injuries coming into this game. Trevor Booker is dealing with back pain, and if he is able to go he won't be 100 percent. 

This game is going to be close, but with the struggles of the Nets defense I think the Suns will come out ahead.

Some trends to note. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last five games. Suns are 8-2 in last ten against the NBA Atlantic. 

Back the Suns

Celtics +5.5

The Boston Celtics and the Oklahoma City Thunder face off on Friday night, and with the Celtics with points to work with, they have the value.

The Boston Celtics have been playing really good basketball coming into this game. After losing the first two games of the season they come into this one having won their last six games. 

The biggest strength this year for the Celtics has been on the defensive side of the court. They are giving up only 93.8 points per game.

They will be facing a good Thunder offense, but they should be able to keep the defense up, and that should keep it close.

Kyrie Irving is also playing really good basketball right now, and I don't think the Thunder have anyone defensively to match up with him.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Back the Celtics.

Pacers +4.5

The Indianapolis Pacers and the Philadelphia 76ers face off on Friday night, and with the Pacers with a few points to work with, they have the value.

The Pacers have been one of the most surprising teams all year and a lot of that has to do with the offensive power they have on the team.

The Pacers are coming into this game averaging 111.5 points per game and shooting 48.3 percent from the field.

They will be facing a 76ers team that has really struggled on that side of the ball. They are giving up 108.4 points per game.

Domantas Sabonis has been a force inside 13.1 points, and 11.1 rebounds per game. He along with a back court of Darren Collison and Victor Oladipo will have a lot of success in this game.

I think the Pacers will keep it close.

Some trends to note. IND are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings. IND are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. PHI are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games.

Celtics -1.5

The Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat face off on Saturday, and with the Celtics as slight favorites they have the value.

The Miami Heat come into this game with a 2-2 record so far this year, but haven't beaten a quality team yet, and in the four games they haven't covered a spread yet. 

One issue the Heat have had has been that their best player, Hassan Whiteside has sat out the last three games in a row because of a bone bruise.

He will also miss this game, and that would be about the only mismatch they would have had in this game. 

For the Celtics their strength is on the defensive side of the floor. Coming into this game they are only giving up 96 points per game.

The Heat haven't played a team like the Celtics defensively yet this year, and I think they will struggle early.

Rockets -3

The Houston Rockets and the Charlotte Hornets face off on Friday night, and with the Rockets as slight favorites they have the value.

The Houston Rockets are known for their offense, and so far this season the offense has been actually better on the road. 

They come into this game averaging 105.8 points per game but that number rises to 110.7 on the road. 

The Hornets are dealing with all kinds of injuries coming into this game. Cody Zeller, Nicholas Batum, and Michael Carter Williams will all be out of action when this game starts. 

The Hornets come into this game averaging 100 points per game, and will have problems keeping up in this one. 

Some trends to note. Favorite is 17-5-2 ATS in the last 24 meetings. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Clippers +3

The Los Angeles Clippers and the Portland Trail Blazers face off on Thursday night, and with the Clippers as underdogs they have value.

The Clippers dominated this series last year winning all three games, and they covered the spread in two of those three games. 

The Clippers have won the first three games of this season and in the last game they beat a really tough Jazz team.

The big change this year has been their defense. They are only giving up 88 points a game, and a lot of that has to do with Patrick Beverly who is one of the best defenders in the league.

He should be on Damian Lillard tonight and he should be able to contain him which means others are going to have to step up.

I think the defense will be the difference in this game and that gives the edge to the Clippers.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Jazz +4.5

The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Clippers face off on Tuesday night, and the visitors have the value in this one.

The Clippers have had a nice start to their season winning the first two games, but they really haven't had a test yet.

In their first two games they had wins over the Suns, and the Lakers both teams who play little to no defense, and the Clippers had their way with them.

They will be facing a Jazz team in this game though that plays good defense and really likes to slow down the games. 

The Jazz are only giving up 94.3 points per game and in their last game only gave up 87 points to the Oklahoma City Thunder. 

The Jazz are actually shooting 49.4 percent from the field compared to the Clippers who are shooting 46.2 percent, so just because the Clippers have been putting up a lot of points, the Jazz are actually more efficient. 

The Jazz will really slow down the pace in this game, and they will keep it close, something they have done really well in Los Angeles as of late. 

Some trends to note. Jazz are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Los Angeles. Road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Pistons -1.5

The Pistons and the Knicks match up on Saturday, and in this game the visitors have the value. 

The Pistons come into this game with a 1-1 record but they have opened up a lot of eyes with their play.

The Pistons aren't just a one man show anymore. They are getting a balanced attack from their starters and the bench.

They also showed the ability to play defense in the first game. They only gave up 90 points to the Charlotte Hornets.

On the other side of this match up is the Knicks who just don't have a lot of talent this year. They only were able to score 84 points against an OKC team that isn't known for their offense

Back the Pistons.

Hawks +6

We rolled with the Hawks as underdogs in their first game of the season, and they were able to cover the spread.

Coming into the season a lot of people asked how this Hawks team would find way to scores, but in the first game they had no issue.

They put up 117 points against the Mavericks and were able to come away from that game with a win.

On the other side of this game is Hornets who struggled in their first game only putting up 90 points against the Pistons.

They are also dealing with all kinds of injury issues. Malik Monk, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Nicolas Batum and Michael Carter-Williams will all be out of this game.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. Hornets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall.

Lakers +5

The Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers both kick off their season on Thursday night against each other, and the underdogs have the value in this game.

The Lakers team is young and I think they will be motivated early in this game to come out strong and really put a show.

Lonzo Ball has shown glimpses of greatness already for this team, and I think he will really do a good job of distributing the ball in this game.

For the Clippers they are still trying to adjust to life without Chris Paul and I think early in the season it's going to be a struggle.

I think the ball movement won't be good in this game and the Lakers will take advantage of that. 

Back the Lakers +5

Hawks +6

The Dallas Mavericks and the Atlanta Hawks face off in this one, and with both teams being poor I think six points is too much of a spread.

Dennis Schroder and Kent Bazemore are the two best guards on the Hawks and  I think they will be able to attack a Mavericks back court that isn't very good defensively. 

A lot of people think the Hawks will have issues scoring points this year, but if there a team that knows about trouble scoring it's the Dallas Mavericks.

I think the Mavericks will struggle on offense again this game and that will allow the Hawks to stay in this game and keep it really close.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Rockets +9.5

The Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets kick off the NBA season on Tuesday night, and with such a wide spread the Rockets have the value as underdogs.

The Golden State Warriors will raise a championship banner and then will have to try to play a basketball game after.

I think they will have a letdown in the first quarter and that will allow the Rockets to stay in it.

The Rockets also have the scoring to keep up with the Warriors with James Harden, Chris Paul and the Crew.

I think this game will be a shootout and the Rockets are going to keep it close enough to cover this generous spread.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Cleveland Cavaliers +4

This is pretty much it for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Everyone has written them off already this season, but returning home and catching 4 points is certainly enticing in this spot. 

We saw last season the Cavs in the same in the spot. Down 2-0 after getting blown away in Golden State, you know how the story ended. 

In this spot on Wednesday, Cleveland is worthy of a move. They still have all the motivation in the world and with people writing them off, it just gives them more of a chip on their shoulder. Cleveland still matches up well and they have arguably the best player in the world in Lebron James. With how well they play at home, you're going to get their best play of the season here.

Some trends to note. Home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Cavaliers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

At this number, Cleveland is worthy of a move. 

Back Cleveland.

Boston Celtics +17

This series is essentially over, but this many points in a Conference Finals game is just way too much. 

Boston lost star guard Isaiah Thomas to a hip injury and will be without the guard for the remainder of this series. However, despite that, this team still has some fight in them. 

There is plenty of talent not his Boston team from Al Horford all the way down to SF Jaylen Brown. This Boston team is going to put up some kind of fight here and will have a Cavaliers team that is almost uninterested here. 

Cleveland was up by 50 at point in Game 2 and they are already looking to the Warriors in the Finals at this point. That bodes well for Boston in this spot to at least keep things close.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Celtics are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

Look for this one to stay somewhat reasonable.

Back Boston.

Cavs -3.5

The Eastern Conference finals get started on Wednesday night between the Cavaliers and the Celtics and King James team has a ton of value in this one.

LeBron James and his crew come into this series well rested having made easy work of the Raptors in their last series. I expect them to come out strong early in this game and test the Celtics legs early.

The Celtics come into this game having just played Monday night against the Wizards and that game took a lot out of them mentally and physically. Isaiah Thomas has been carrying Boston all playoffs but it's going to take more then one guy to beat the Cavs.

I expect LeBron will blow the doors off this game early. The Celtics might creep back into it but it won't be enough.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Boston.
