The Under is 14-6 in the last 20 meetings between these two teams, 7-1-1 in the Kings' last 9 vs. the NBA Northwest, and 11-4 in the Kings' last 15 vs. a team with a winning record. The Under is also 20-7 in the Nuggets' last 27 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 8-3 in their last 11 vs. the NBA Pacific. Bet the Under.

6* NBA Total of the Night on Thunder/Lakers UNDER 198
OKC is 15-4 UNDER when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. > 70%) over the last 2 seasons with the average combined score totaling just 188.6 in these games. Bet the Under.

6* NBA Total of the Night on Jazz/Hawks UNDER 206.5
System Play: Plays Under on all teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (Atlanta) after beating the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) are 17-1 the last 3 seasons. Bet the Under.

7* NBA Total of the Week on Rockets/Nuggets UNDER 210
The Rockets have played to the Under in 6 straight road games. Plus, they are 7-1 Under in their last 8 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes on the previous day. Houston is 8-1 Under in its last 9 games overall as it is beginning to play much better defense. The Under is also 4-0 in the Nuggets' last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. We'll take the Under tonight.

6* NBA Game of the Night on Kings/Blazers UNDER 200
The Blazers have been an Unders machine at home with 8 of 12 home games coming in Under the number this season. Expect this trend to continue tonight. Plus, Portland is 17-4 Under after a combined score of 205 points or more over the last 2 seasons. The average score in these spots has totaled just 186.2 points. Bet the Under.

6* NBA Total of the Night on Blazers/Cavs UNDER 185.5
System Play: Plays Under on all teams where the total is between 180 and 189.5 points (CLEVELAND) in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), in December games, are 24-4 the last 5 seasons. Bet the Under.

6* NBA Total of the Week on Hornets/T-Wolves UNDER 194

Take the Under tonight as Minnesota hosts New Orleans. The T-Wolves have been one of the worst scoring home teams in the NBA this season averaging just 90.7 ppg as the host. As a direct result, the under is no 7-4 in their home contests as the host team usually helps dictate the pace of the game. New Orleans is scoring 99.2 ppg at on the road this season, however they played in New Orleans against Sacramento last night, then made the quick trip up to Minnesota for this game. The last two meetings have been low-scoring affairs and this one shapes up to be exactly the same. Play the under in this game tonight.

6* NCAAB Total of the Week on Vandy/Illinois UNDER 148.5
This line opened at 144.5 and has been bet all the way up to where we see it now, creating great value on the Under. In last year's meeting these two teams didn't make it out of the 60's, combining to score just 132 points. I expect a similar game tonight. Vandy is on a 19-8 Unders run in road games versus good offensive teams scoring 77+ points/game, with the average combined score in these games totaling just 143.4 points. Vandy is also 12-3 Under in non-conference games since the beginning of last season with the average combined score totaling just 133.7 points. Bet the Under.

6* NBA Prime Time Total (TNT) on Celtics/Spurs UNDER 188.5
I liked the Under when it opened at 186.5 and with the line moving in our favor I'll jump on it for a 6* play. Boston is 13-4 Under when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) over the last 2 seasons, and we are only seeing a total of 181.4 points scored in these games. With both teams fighting to keep their 5-game winning streaks alive, I expect a very physical, defensive battle resulting in the Under tonight.

6* NBA Game of the Night on Suns/Knicks UNDER 225.5
Odds makers have set an inflated line here knowing the public perception is that these are two high scoring teams. They've been doing this all season and as a result, we've seen the Knicks play to the Under in 8 of their last 13 and we've seen the Suns play to the Under in 5 of their last 7. Mike D'Antoni knows Nash and company well, having had a lengthy stay in Phoenix, and he also knows that his team isn't going to be able to come out a victor if he tries to run and gun with the better uptempo team. Look for the Knicks to pick their spots to run tonight and to play at a slower pace throughout. Plus, the Suns have the Cavs tomorrow night so I expect them to rest players, especially Nash, if they build any kind of lead. The Under is 20-7 in the Knicks last 27 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game and 11-4 in the Knicks last 15 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Bet the Under.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* of the Week on Bucks/Hornets UNDER 202
It doesn't get much better than this. New Orleans is a perfect 10-0 UNDER in home games when the total is greater than or equal to 200 since the beginning of last season. The average score in these games is totaling just 194.2 points. In fact, the Under is 17-5 in the Hornets last 22 home games and 18-5 in home games versus good offensive teams scoring 99+ points/game since the beginning of last season. Pound the Under.
