6* Pacers -5.5
The Key: Indiana will be out for some serious revenge here after losing to the Knicks on consecutive days last month. The Knicks are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games.

6* Raptors -9
The Key: The Bobcats are a poor 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points. The Raptors are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 home games, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Raptors are the more talented team, they're playing better basketball and they'll be lacking no motivation having lost 6 in a row in the series.

6* NBA Bailout on Jazz +2.5
The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers cannot be trusted following Sunday's double-digit win over the T-Wolves as they 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games following a SU win of more than 10 points.

6* Mavs -4
The Key: Dallas is 10-0 in its last 10 home games versus the Clippers, winning those games by 10.7 points on average.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Grizzlies +8
The Key: Memphis is 11-1 ATS the last 2 seasons when matched up against a team with a winning percentage above 70% in the second half of the season. It has won by an average of 3.0 points in this spot.

6* NBA Bailout on Warriors +10.5
The Key: The Warriors are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 vs. Pacific division opponents, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings with the Lakers. The Lakers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games.

6* Pacers +4
The Key: This is a system play. Road teams (INDIANA) that have failed to cover in 3 of their last 4, an extremely tired team playing 9 or more games in 14 days, are 37-14 ATS the last 5 seasons. These teams have been underdogs of 5.7 points in average but have only lost by an average of 0.8. Look for the Pacers to take Houston down to the wire.

7* NBA Game of the Week on Magic -5
The Key: The Magic are a team capable of beating anybody or losing to anybody, but I love them at home today. Off consecutive defeats, we can be assured that they'll leave it all on the floor. Plus, the Magic are 13-1 in their last 14 home contests against the Nuggets and those wins have come by over 11.0 points on average. Denver is coming off a win but hasn't won consecutive games since early last month. It is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 contests following a victory.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on 76ers -6
The Key: The Hawks are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. Also, the Hawks are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The 76ers have won the last 4 meetings in this series by an average of 16.0 points and will be very hungry tonight after getting embarrassed by Washington last night.

6* NBA Bailout on Warriors -3.5
The Key: The Warriors are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall, 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points.

The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

6* Cavs +5
The Key: The Cavs have lost 5 in a row and both meetings with Milwaukee this season, so they'll be playing some inspired ball tonight in hopes of stopping the bleeding. The Bucks are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 versus division foes. Also, they are 5-13 ATS this season after failing to cover the number in 2 of their last 3 games. They have lost by an average score of 100.6 to 96.4 in this situation.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Hawks -3
The Key: Expect the Knicks to struggle tonight on the road without Amar'e Stoudemire against a physical Atlanta squad that ranks 5th in the NBA in scoring defense with 93.1 ppg allowed. The Knicks have dropped 7 of their last 9 on the highway while the Hawks have won 7 of their last 10 at home. We'll lay the points as I expect the Hawks to be extremely focused after the whoopin' Chicago gave them Wednesday.

6* NBA Bailout on Lakers -105
The Key: The Lakers have won 11 of their last 12 at home in this series by over 10.5 ppg on average. The Thunder enter off a double-digit win and cover in Portland but are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win of more than 10 points and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win. The Thunder have lost 2 of their last 4 on the road to lesser teams (Hawks, Jazz). This is their toughest road contest to date (in my opinion), and I have them coming up short against an LA squad that is 20-4 at home on the season.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Heat -8
The Key: After consecutive double-digit losses, the Heat will be out for blood against the team that took them down in the Finals. History is on our side in a big way as home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (MIAMI) off a road loss by 10 points or more, a good team (winning 60% to 75% of their games) playing a team with a winning record, are 41-17 (71%) ATS the last 5 seasons. It must be noted that the Heat are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a defeat of more than 10 points. The Mavs have dropped 8 of their last 10 on the highway with those 8 defeats coming by an average of 10.8 points. Their last 3 road losses have come by an average of 19.0 points. We'll bet Miami.

6* NBA Bailout on Clippers -7
The Key: The Clippers, who have endured a pair of narrow defeats to Phoenix this month, will be out for some serious revenge tonight. The Suns are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Nets +5.5
The Key: The Pacers are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Raptors +4
The Key: The Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of less than 5.0 points and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU victory. The Raptors are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of less than 5.0 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Bucks -1.5
The Key: The Hawks can't be trusted as a small dog considering they are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of less than 5.0 points. The Bucks have dropped consecutive games but are an awesome 30-15 ATS in their last 45 home contests following 2 or more consecutive defeats. They haven't just covered the number in these games, they've won outright on average by a score of 101.9 to 96.3. We'll grab the Bucks at home in this bounce back spot.

6* Nuggets +8
The Key: The Nuggets are 26-10 ATS in their last 36 games as an underdog and 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as a road underdog of 5.0 to 10.5 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Nets -118
The Key: This is a nightmare of a situation for Utah, which is playing the 2nd game of a back-to-back following a brutal 4-overtime loss Sunday. The Jazz, who have struggled on the road, are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog of less than 5.0 points and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games versus a team with a home winning percentage of less than .400. Also, the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. We'll take New Jersey.

6* Bobcats +7
The Key: The Celtics are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Bobcats and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games when valued as a favorite of 5.0 to 10.5 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Grizzlies +7
The Key: Teams playing the second game of a back-to-back are often undervalued due to the fatigue factor. This young Memphis team, however, hasn't looked fatigued in back-to-backs. In fact, it is 25-6 ATS when playing on back-to-back days over the last 2 seasons, winning these games by an average score of 99.3 to 95.5. Also, the Lakers 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Suns +3.5
The Key: The Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog of 5 points or less, and the Pacers are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 games when playing without a day of rest.

Teams have won by an average of 12.7 points in this situation. Also, teams coached by Stan Van Gundy are 14-3 ATS all-time after a blowout loss by 20 points or more. The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite, and the favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. The Magic have won the last 2 and 4 of the last 5 against Phoenix with those 4 wins coming by 23, 16, 22 and 12 points.

The Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games versus Minnesota and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Kings +3
The Key: I like the Kings in the home dog role regardless of whether Tyreke Evans plays tonight. The Celtics are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 road games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite of 4.5 points or fewer. The Kings are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog.

6* Blazers +9
The Key: The Blazers traded away some key players and fired their coach but I still expect them to show up tonight following back-to-back embarrassing losses. Luol Deng's wrist isn't at full strength and Derrick Rose is expected to miss with a groin injury. The Bulls will be much more concerned with tomorrow's game against Philly, which gives Portland an excellent opportunity to cover this number.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Thunder -1
The Key: The Thunder are 52-24-1 ATS in their last 77 games following a loss, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 4.5 or fewer points and 36-16-1 ATS in their last 53 games as a road favorite of 4.5 or fewer points. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Take OKC.

7* NBA Western Conference Game of the Month on Hornets +5
The Key: The Lakers continues to be overvalued on the road despite continuing struggles away from home and we'll take advantage. L.A. is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 road games when listed as a favorite.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Jazz -7.5
The Key: Off consecutive defeats on the road, the Jazz are back home where they are 14-6 on the season. Expect them to bounce back strong against a Detroit team that is just 3-15 on the highway this season. The Jazz have won their last 8 at home in this series with those victories coming by an average of 9.0 points. Lay the number.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Nuggets -6
The Key: Denver has won 8 in a row at home against the Grizzlies and is 18-1 at home all-time against the Grizzlies since they moved to Memphis. 7 of Denver's last 8 home wins against Memphis have come by at least 9 points.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Year on Pacers +9.5
The Key: As if enduring consecutive losses isn't enough motivation, the Pacers will draw further incentive from losses of 35 and 15 points to Miami in the season's first two meetings. The results of those matchups will cause Indiana to be more focused than it has been all season. The Heat can't help but take the Pacers lightly here with the way they dominated the first two. The fact Miami enters off 2 days' rest is great news considering it has lost 8 in a row ATS when playing on 2 days' rest. It is only winning by an average score of 99.6 to 98.6 in this situation. This is a great spot for a hungry Indiana team against a Miami squad that will be overlooking its opponent.

6* Trail Blazers -5
The Key: Portland is struggling but should be able to get back on track against the lowly Wizards. Washington came from 21 down to beat the Lakers in their last game but are 6-25 ATS after 1 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons. They have lost by an average of 12.4 points in this situation.

6* Clippers +5
The Key: The LA Clippers have been a solid investment when catching points, covering the spread in 5 of their last 6 as an underdog.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Lakers -113
The Key: Following back-to-back losses to lowly teams in which the Lakers blew double-digit leads, look for LA to drop the hammer on the T-Wolves. The Lakers are on a 17-0 run against Minnesota with 10 of those wins coming by 10 points or more.

6* Bobcats +1.5
The Key: The Nets have been a fool's gold favorite at 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games in the role.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Suns +3.5
The Key: The Mavericks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing record. The Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog of 4.5 points or less.

6* Bucks +7.5

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on 76ers -6

7* NBA Public Massacre Game of the Year on Pistons +6
The Key: The Lakers have either lost or won by 5 points or less in all 18 of their road games this season. This creates a powerful 18-0 trend in our favor. The Pistons have either won or lost by 6 points or less in 10 of their last 12 at home. We'll take the points.

6* Clippers +3
The Key: The Timberwolves 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of fewer than 5 points.

6* Cavaliers +2.5
The Key: The Cavaliers are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog of fewer than 5 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Pistons +8
The Key: The Pistons are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. The Grizzlies are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Raptors +4.5
The Key: Toronto, which is 9-2-1 ATS in its last 12 games, should not be catching this many points against a Memphis team that is just 6-10 away from home. The Raptors are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

6* Trail Blazers +4.5
The Key: Plays on home underdogs (PORTLAND) - in non-conference games, extremely well rested team - playing 3 or less games in 10 days, are 45-17 ATS since 1996. This system is a perfect 9-0 ATS the last 3 seasons.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Magic +1
The Key: Orlando has dominated the Thunder at home. It has won 7 straight at home against the Seattle/Oklahoma City franchise. The last 3 wins came after Seattle moved to OKC and those victories came by an average of 15.3 points. The Magic won last season's home meeting by 23 points. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

6* Warriors +7
The Key: The Warriors are an impressive 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Kings -3.5
The Key: The Kings are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 meetings with the Jazz.

6* Pistons +4
The Key: The Pistons are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games while the 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Raptors +10
The Key: The Raptors aren't getting the respect they deserve from odds makers this evening and we'll look to take advantage. Houston has been a good home team this season but has won by double digits just once in its last 5 home games. The Raptors have been playing some ball. They are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 with losses to the Heat, Lakers and Spurs (3 legit title contenders) coming by an average of 5 points. Also, none of these 3 won by more than 7 points. The Raptors are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Trail Blazers -3.5
The Key: Last night's loss in LA and last month's loss in San Antonio will have the Trail Blazers jacked up tonight. They have defeated the Spurs 6 straight times at home and are 5-1 ATS in those games. Lay the number.

6* Warriors +3
The Key: The Warriors have been extremely competitive at home where they have only lost by more than 3 points once in their last 10 games. The home team is 18-8-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings, and the Clippers are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings at Golden State.

6* Wizards +6
The Key: The Suns are coming off a big win over the Lakers but can't be trusted here. They are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Bucks +2.5
The Key: After losing the season's first two meetings with Orlando, expect the third time to be a charm. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings, and the Magic are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Milwaukee.

6* Rockets -3
The Key: The Rockets have won 10 straight at home versus Memphis, and these wins have come by 12.2 points on average. The Grizzlies are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Hornets +11.5
The Key: Playing on underdogs of 10.0 points or more that are out to avenge a road loss to a foe, provided the "play on" team is only taking the court for the 2nd time in 5 days, has produced a 120-72 (62.5%) ATS record since 1996. Teams in this situation have been underdogs of 12.2 points on average but have lost by only 9.8 points on average. This system has produced a 16-6 (73%) ATS mark the last 3 seasons. Also, New Orleans is on a 13-4 ATS run when catching 11.0 points or more.

6* Nets +9.5
The Key: Carmelo Anthony's return will likely temporarily interrupt the chemistry the Knicks have developed without him. Plus, the Nets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Suns +3

The Key: The Timberwolves are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games and 18-40 ATS in their last 58 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

6* Celtics -5.5
The Key: Extra rest should do this veteran Boston team some good. The Celtics are 16-6-1 ATS in their last 23 games when playing on 2 days' rest. Also, the Celtics are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 meetings at Detroit.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* (ESPN) on 76ers -3
The Key: The Mavs are expected to be without Rodrique Beaubois, Delonte West and Jason Terry tonight, which means they'll be lacking quality depth against one of the deepest teams in the league. Dallas likely keeps this one close through 3 quarters but runs out of gas down the stretch, opening the door for the 76ers to cover this number. The 76ers are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite and 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games. Lay the points.

6* Cavs +10
The Key: The Cavs are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog.

6* Bobcats +7

The Celtics have lost 3 of 4 and 2 of those losses came to Toronto and Detroit. With Sunday's loss at Boston fresh in their minds, expect the Bulls to roll at home, where they are 10-1 with a 13.0-point average margin of victory.

7* NBA Underdog Game of the Year on Rockets +4
The Key: I love the Rockets catching 4 points at home, where they are 10-3 on the season, in this double revenge spot. OKC has won the first 2 meetings but only won by 3 points at Houston, where it has won by more than 4 points just 1 time in the last 14 meetings. We'll take the points for insurance, but I like Houston to win this one straight up.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Pacers +3
The Key: Plays against road favorites (MIAMI) that have covered the spread in 4 of their last 5, a top-level team (>=75%) playing a team with a winning record, are 50-17 ATS since 1996. The "play against" side has been favored by an average of 3.7 points in this system but has lost by 1.5 points on average. Indiana will be the fresher team tonight as it has had 2 days' rest while the Heat will be playing their third game in 3 days. The Pacers also hold a motivational edge as they look to avenge a bad loss to the Heat last month. Great spot for Indiana. Take the points.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Hornets +4
The Key: The Jazz, who are just 3-7 on the road this season, are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Plus, the Hornets have a huge scheduling advantage tonight. They have had 2 full days of rest and prep time while the Jazz just played yesterday. The Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on 2 days' rest. Also, the underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Take the points.

6* Timberwolves +5
The Key: The Magic are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. The Timberwolves are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points.

6* Wizards +6
The Key: Detroit hasn't proven it is worthy to be laying this many points. It is just 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games as a favorite.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Celtics +3
The Key: The Boston Celtics are a strong 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 home games when valued as an underdog of 4.5 points or less. The Chicago Bulls, on the other hand, are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games when valued as a favorite of 4.5 or fewer points. The value lies with the home dog here.

6* Jazz +1.5
The Key: The Jazz will be the fresher team tonight and that will serve them well. This will be Oklahoma City's 2nd game in as many days, 4th game in 5 days and 7th game in 10 days. The Jazz have had 2 days to rest and prepare for this contest. The Jazz are 13-6-2 ATS in their last 21 games when playing on 2 days' rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog.
