20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers +4½ -110

Bet the Lakers (+4.5) as a short road dog against the Magic in Tuesday's NBA action. Most are going to want to be Orlando in this matchup. LA has lost 4 straight and failed to cover 5 in a row, while the Magic have won 8 of 9 and covered 10 straight. As good as Orlando has been playing, they should not be laying this many points against a hungry Lakers team. Magic are just 12-29 (29.3%) ATS over the last 3 seasons in home games when playing a team with a losing record. Bet the Lakers +4.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6 -110

Bet the Hornets (+6) as a decently priced road dog against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. Charlotte is a team that should be showing quite a bit of value right now. Hornets are just 9-24 on the season, but have played the majority of those 33 games with at least one of their top players sidelined. They are as healthy as they have been in a while with the only real significant contributor out being backup point guard Dennis Smith Jr. Doesn't hurt they are facing a Blazers team that has lost 3 in a row and 4 of 5 overall. Play the Hornets +6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks +4½ -110

Bet the Bucks (+4.5) as a short road dog against the Celtics on Sunday. Most are going to want to lay the short number with Boston in this one, but I like the points with Milwaukee. Bucks have had this game circled on the calendar for quite some time. It's their first shot at Boston since losing to them in the playoffs last year. Defensively I think Milwaukee has what it takes to slow down this Boston offense and this feels like a good time for the Bucks to catch the Celtics, given that Boston is just 2-5 SU over their last 7 games (1-5-1 ATS). Play Milwaukee +4.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -1½ -110

Bet the 76ers (-1.5) as a slim road favorite against the Knicks on Sunday. Philadelphia comes into this game having won 7 straight and are 6-1 ATS during this run. New York is 8-2 in their last 10, but have dropped each of their last two games. Both at home. The defensive effort just hasn't been there in the last two games. They forced a mere 4 turnovers in each of their last two games, which to me comes down to effort. In this game, I don't think they are going to have an answer for Embiid inside. I expect a monster game from Embiid, who seems to save his best for the big stage and there's not many bigger than Christmas Day at MSG. Just feel like the Knicks are getting a little too much respect in this one. Play the 76ers -1.5!

*All CBB picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models*

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns +3 -110

Bet the Suns (+3) as a small home dog against the Grizzlies in Friday's NBA action. Phoenix will be playing this game without Devin Booker, but even with him sidelined I don't think they should be a dog in this fight. Memphis will be playing their 3rd straight road game and have lost the first 2 games on their 4-game trip, falling 109-115 at OKC and 91-105 at Denver. Suns have covered 23 of their last 35 with a line of +3 to -3 and are 31-14 ATS in their last 45 off an upset loss as a favorite. Play Phoenix +3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +7½ -115

Bet the Spurs (+7.5) as a decently priced road dog against the Magic in Friday's NBA action. I just think San Antonio this is too many points for a team like Orlando to be laying against any team in the league. Yes the Magic come in having won 7 of their last 8 and have covered 9 in a row, but only once during this stretch were they favored to win the game and that was by a mere 1-point in their last game at Houston. It's a lot harder for a bad team like the Magic to switch roles from the underdog to the big favorite and with a much-needed 3-day break after this game, I think we could see Orlando come out flat in this one. Play the Spurs +7.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +10 -110

Bet the Hornets (+10) as a double-digit road dog against the Kings in Monday's NBA action. Charlotte made headlines yesterday, giving up 40 points, 27 rebounds and 10 assists to Jokic. One of the greatest statlines ever seen with a triple-double. I just think it has Charlotte a bit undervalued here against the Kings. What people overlook is the fact that the Hornets only lost by a final of 115-119 with Jokic's historic performance. Hornets have quietly gotten healthier of late and should start being more competitive. Play Charlotte +10!

Bet the Celtics (-9.5) as a big home favorite against the Magic in Sunday's NBA action. These two teams played each other in Boston on Friday and Orlando won that game 117-109 as a 13.5-point road dog. It was a big flat spot for the Celtics, who had just finished up a grueling 6-game road trip a couple days earlier. Look for Boston to bounce back in a big way and have their way with the Magic in the rematch. Bet the Celtics -9.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Cavs under 224 -110

Bet the UNDER (224) in Friday's NBA action between the Pacers and Cavs. Cleveland comes into this game off a dominant defensive showing in Wednesday's 105-90 win at Dallas. I expect another great effort on that side at home against Indiana. The average score in Cleveland home games this season is just 217.2 points/game. Largely due to the Cavs defense, which is giving up just 103.4 ppg at home. UNDER is 12-2 in Cleveland's last 14 home games after allowing 100 points or less in their last game and 8-1 in their last 9 after a game with a combined score of 205 or less. Play the UNDER 224! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets -1½ +100

Bet the Hornets (-1.5) as a small home favorite against the Hawks in Friday's NBA action. Atlanta is just not playing good basketball right now. The Hawks come into this game having lost 5 of their last 6 with the only win coming by a mere 1-point at home against the Bulls. It doesn't help matters that the Hawks are playing right now without one of their best players in Dejounte Murray. The fact that a Hornets team that has lost 6 games is favored in this one says it all. Play Charlotte -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Seattle University +1½ -115

*All CBB picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models*

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +4½ -105

Bet the Rockets (+4.5) as a small home dog against the Heat in Thursday's NBA action. Miami doesn't deserve to be this big of a road favorite with how they have been playing. Heat have won their last 2 games, but one was a 87-82 win at Indiana and the other was a 110-108 win at OKC. Houston is playing with confidence right now. The Rockets have their last two, beating the Bucks and Suns at home. Houston has won 5 straight at home overall. The last loss being a 120-127 setback against the Warriors on 11/20. Play the Rockets +4.5!

*All CBB picks are generated using advanced statistics and scoring models*

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +3 -110

Bet the Thunder (+3) as a small home dog against the Heat in Wednesday's NBA action. Miami has been one of the more overrated teams in the league to start the season. Heat are just 13-15 SU and 9-18 ATS. OKC is just 11-16 SU, but are 16-11 ATS. Thunder come in having covered 5 of their last 7, while the Heat have failed to cover 4 of their last 5. Miami is just 5-13 ATS as a favorite this season and 2-10 ATS off a SU win. Play the Thunder +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -4½ -115

Bet the Raptors (-4.5) as a home favorite against the Kings in Wednesday's NBA action. Sacramento just lost by 20-points at the 76ers last night. Kings are going to be playing on no rest, as they continue on their 6-game road trip. It will be the 3rd road game in 4 nights for Sacramento, who is just 1-3 SU and 1-3 ATS over their last 4 games. Toronto is coming in off an ugly 99-111 loss at Orlando on Sunday, which came two days after losing 109-113 at Orlando. I believe it's created value with the Raptors as they return home. Toronto is 13-3 ATS last 16 at home off an upset loss as a favorite, winning in this spot by over 10 ppg. Play the Raptors -4.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +5½ -110

Bet the Kings (+5.5) as a decently priced road dog against the 76ers in Tuesday's NBA action. Love the value here with Sacramento. Philly is getting a ton of love due to the big numbers that Embiid is putting up, but let's not overreact to a couple huge offensive showings against the Lakers and Hornets. Prior to beating those two teams, they had lost 3 straight, falling by 28 at Cleveland, by 8 at Memphis and by 10 at Houston. Kings are coming off a 99-112 loss at New York, which was their worst offensive showing of the season. Prior to that Sacramento had gone 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS. There's also a good chance they get back star point guard De'Aaron Fox from injury in this one. Play the Kings +5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Wolves vs Blazers under 233½ -105

Bet the UNDER (233.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Wolves and Blazers. UNDER is hitting at 65% (80-43) since 1996 in games where you have a total of 230 or more in a matchup of two division opponents and a team (Blazers) is coming off a home win scoring 110 or more. Other big thing is this being a rematch between these two teams, as they just played in Portland on Saturday. That game saw 242 points, but it took both teams shooting well over 50% from the field. Expect some regression, as these two defenses will be much better prepared. Play the UNDER 233.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Cavs vs Spurs under 223½ -110

Bet the UNDER (223.5) in Monday's NBA action between the Cavaliers and Spurs. Not really a lot to think about here, as the books just have had not been able to set a good number on the total in Cleveland games. The UNDER has cashed in 8 straight games for the Cavs and 11 of their last 12 overall. I have a hard time seeing this getting into the 220s with the Spurs figuring to struggle to hit 100 points. SA is averaging just 107.6 ppg in their last 5 and will be facing a Cleveland defense that is only giving up 99.6 ppg in their last 5. Play the UNDER 223.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Magic +7 -105

Bet the Magic (+7) as a big home dog against the Raptors in Sunday's NBA action. Orlando just beat these Raptors 113-109 at home on Friday and now are getting 7-points in the rematch. I'll take it. Orland has covered 3 in a row, while the Raptors continue to be overvalued in the market. Toronto is just 6-10 ATS in their last 16 games. Play Orlando +7!

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -1 -110

Bet the Suns (-1) as a slim road favorite against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. This to me is a great spot to jump on Phoenix after they were embarrassed on nationally TV in Wednesday's 98-125 loss at home to the Celtics. Suns got Chris Paul back from injury in that game and should be poised to take off with him back in the lineup. Pelicans are a really good team, but they are down two starters right now with Herb Jones and Brandon Ingram both sidelined. Play the Suns -1! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pistons vs Grizzlies under 227½ -105

Bet the UNDER (227.5) in Friday's NBA action between the Grizzlies and Pistons. I just don't see these two teams approaching 230 points. You need both teams to put up big numbers to reach a total like this and I just have a hard time seeing the Pistons doing their part. Detroit is just 3-12 SU on the road this season, scoring just 109 ppg on 44% shooting away from home. Memphis is only allowing 106.8 ppg at home and are giving up just 105.0 ppg on 42% shooting in their last 5 games. UNDER is 14-3 in Memphis' last 17 at home after 3 or more consecutive wins and a perfect 8-0 in their last 8 after winning 4/5 of their last 6 games. Play the UNDER 227.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Magic +8 -110

Bet the Magic (+8) as a decently priced home dog against the Raptors in Friday's NBA action. This is a good price to back Orlando at home. Magic are way undervalued right now, as they have gone just 1-9 SU in their last 10 games. They were able to snap a 9-game skid with a 116-111 win at home against the Clippers on Wednesday as a 6.5-point dog. Magic have covered 2 straight overall and are 3-1-1 ATS last 5 off a SU win. Toronto is just 2-6 ATS last 8 vs a team with a losing record and 1-6 ATS last 7 on the road. Play the Magic +8!

Bet the UNDER (239) in Wednesday's NBA action between the Jazz and Warriors. There's going to be plenty of offense in this matchup, but the number here is simply too high. I don't see these two getting into the 240s. Not with Steph Curry, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins all expected to not play in this game. UNDER has cashed in 3 straight games for the Warriors and is 5-1 in their last 6 off a loss. Play the UNDER 239!

Bet the Pacers (+5.5) as a small road dog against the Jazz in Friday's NBA action. Utah comes in off a 125-112 win over the Clippers and Indiana enters off a 114-137 blowout loss to the Kings. Don't let those results fool you. Pacers have been playing the much better basketball of late. Indiana is 11-5 SU and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games. The Jazz are 3-8 SU and 4-7 ATS in their last 11. This to me should be closer to a pick'em. Play the Pacers +5.5!

Bet the Knicks (-4.5) as a short road favorite against the Pistons in Tuesday's NBA action. This just feels like a good buy low spot on New York, who comes in having lost their last 2 and are just 1-4 SU and ATS over their last 5 games. It's not like these have been horrible losses. The first two defeats came on the road against the Warriors and Suns. The last two have come at home to the Blazers and Grizzlies by a combined 7 points. I like the Knicks to get right here and make easy work of a bad Detroit team. Play New York -4.5!

Bet the Suns (-6.5) as a decently priced home favorite against the Lakers in Tuesday's NBA action. Easy play here on Phoenix. LA is simply getting too much respect due to having won and covered 3 straight. I'm not buying this team has figured out anything. Two of those wins were against the Pistons and Spurs. The other was against a dead tired Nets team playing on no rest. Suns just have too much fire-power for the Lakers to keep this respectable. Play Phoenix -6.5!
