Despite a 35-22 SU record the thunder are seeded sixth and I attribute most of the credit to Billy Donovan who held this team together while losing super starts Harden, Durant and Westbrook...think about that!

The Raptors of course eliminated the Bucks in the playoffs last May after Milwaukee took the first pair at home and then Toronto won Game 3 in OT and the series 4-2. The Bucks are better this year and Toronto is of course without Leonard is a notch below. It is difficult the make a case against the Bucks as they are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games but just 1-5 ATS against winning teams better than 60%. Okay, here's the rub as the Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games and 4-1 ATS as underdogs. Take TORONTO! |

Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Miami has established themselves as one of the more dominate teams when play at home winning 23 of 26 but don't even break even on the road losing 17 of 30. Cleveland seems to have more bounce in their step since acquiring Andre Drummond to side up with Tristian Thompson. The Cavaliers has lost eight straight times to the Heat including a 124-105 trouncing on Saturday and will seek revenge with Kevin Love returning to the lineup and Miami will be playing without their biggest impact talent Jimmy Butler. The heat are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS in their last six road games overall. Take CLEVELAND! |

San Antonio at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Spurs (+) over Thunder- The the longest road trip each season in the NBA the Spurs finish their annual eight-game Rodeo Road trip in Oklahoma City today. San Antonio started by dropping their first five-game on this extended trip but have recovered with a pair of consecutive wins. The Thunder have won their last two and 11 of their last 14 and play 13 of their next 20 on the road. Although San Antonio has struggled against the thunder in OKC they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. Rake SAN ANTONIO! |

Washington at Chicago 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Wizards- A pair of also-rans that appear headed in opposite directions as Washington had won five of seven prior to their home loss to the Cavaliers while Chicago is in the mists of a season high eight-game losing streak. The Bulls have plenty of fight in them and sometimes it is misdirected as Zach LaVine and coach Jim Boylen going at each other before the end of the Bulls lost to the Suns Friday night. The Wizards are nothing special as they are 4-13 ATS as favorites on the road. Take CHICAGO! |

02-23-20 | Pacers +6 v. Raptors | Top | 81-127 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
Indiana at Toronto 6:00 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- Toronto who many though would take a step down after losing Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers but have played like true Champions without him. The Raptors lost their final game before the All-Star break ending a franchise record 15-game winning streak but rebounded (noticed how I fit that in) with a 118-101 win over Phoenix. Meanwhile, Indiana ended a six game losing streak with a win over Milwaukee and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. As good as the Raptors have been they are just 2-8 ATS in games following a win by 10-points or more. Take INDIANA! |

Houston at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz over Rockets- So, Houston has gone to 'small' ball with all five starters under 6-6 and have won their last two and 10 of 14 as they figure this is a better way to pay 'team' basketball. Utah was upset at home last night as San Antonio got the best of them dropping the Jazz for just the sixth time at home in 26 tries. Houston has won seven of 10 meetings and are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs. Utah has struggled of late and needed the All-Star break as they are just 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine as favorites. But, this game we can take on the 'Money line' an collect. Take the JAZZ! |

Philadelphia at Milwaukee 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Bucks- This certainly is the NBA Match-up of the day as league's best to date host one of their top challengers. Milwaukee who is on pace for 70 wins is 14-games ahead of second place Indiana in the Central and are 25-3 SU at home while Philadelphia is a weak 9-19 on the road and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. The Bucks are 6-0 ATS as favorites in their last six games overall but those 'numbers' may have little to say about tonight's outcome. Having been call-out of late Joel Embiid boasted that he was the best player in the world after scoring 39 points with 19 rebounds against Brooklyn last time out on Thursday. These two clubs met Christmas Day with the 76ers winning 121-109 as Embiid had 31 points and 11 rebounds. Going against the Bucks the Sixers will have to deal with the 'other' best player in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo so this could be interesting. I expect this game to go down to the final buzzer. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- The Bulls have lost seven in-a-row including their first game after the break at home losing to Charlotte 103-93. The Suns have come a long way this season and a few injuries have slowed down their progress but their young sharp shooter Devin Booker and imposing center Deandre Ayton. Chicago who has lost 17 of 23 but leading scorer Zack LaVine is up for the challenge. Phoenix is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. Take CHICAGO! |

The Spurs have made the NBA Playoffs 22 straight years and are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference have their worst record 23-31 at the break in 25 years. The Spurs who had no reps at the All-Star break will be well rested and ready to go as they are 7-2 ATS with 3 or more days rest. Utah is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Cleveland and Washington 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Wizards- Well, the players on the Eastern Conferences' worst team got their wish as head coach John Beilein vacated his position as this bunch of professionals refused to accept the basic fundamentals of the game. J.B. Bickerstaff takes over the helm for the Cavaliers and now has the NBA's leading rebounder in Andre Drummond to pair with Tristan Thompson and they posted a win I their first game together before the break. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Rake CLEVELAND! |

02-21-20 | Mavs v. Magic +4.5 | Top | 122-106 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
Dallas at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Mavericks- The Dallas Mavericks is 33-22 at the break and are tied with Oklahoma City for the 7thseed in the Western Conference. The key to the Mavs resurgence has been the play of Luca Doncic who miss seven games before the break with Dallas losing five but rebounded with a 20-point win over the Kings when he returned to the lineup. Orlando who has struggled offensively posted a pair of wins before the break scoring 135 and 116 points after having lost 8-of-10. The Mavericks have had the best of the Magic winning 10 of the last 13 meetings in Orlando. Ugly trends surround the Magic as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-9 ATS overall in their last 11 as host. Still, the Mavs fall short here. Take ORLANDO! |

Sacramento won that matchup 128-123 after overcoming a 20-point deficit. Jabari Parker is expected to make his team debut for the Kings tonight after being acquired from Atlanta.

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 8:00 ET Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is the epitome of a front runner as they are 25-2 at home where they are bullies and just 9-19 SU on the road where they play like dogs. Brooklyn who will most like play the rest of the season with Kyrie Irving who has already missed 33 of 53 games and Brooklyn has a better winning percentage without the 'World is Flat' former Superstar. Despite the absence of Irving and playing the season without Kevin Durant the Nets sit in seventh place in the playoff seeding and have won seven of their last 10 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five although they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs. Meanwhile the inconsistent 76ers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take BROOKLYN! |

The Nuggets overcame a 23-point deficit defeating San Antonio on Monday while L.A. was cruising in a 125-100 win over Phoenix. Stats are great but they can be misleading as the Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Denver and 8-18 ATS in the last 26 meetings overall. The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS at home in their last four and get the money tonight. Take DENVER! |

The Raptors are just 7-15 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games but, are 1-18 SU in the last 19 meetings overall.

The Bucks who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo in Monday's win over Sacramento are now 5-0 both SU and ATS when the 'Freak' sits out. The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at home and have lost four straight to the Bucks including a pair of blowout losses this season. After all that data the line-maker has installed the Bucks as a meager favorite and I expect Indiana who is 1-5 since the return of Victor Oladipo to rise tonight. Take INDIANA! |

The Trailblazers after a horrid start to the season are 2.5 games behind eighth place Memphis and the Pelicans follow them 2.5 games back. The Pelicans are off of a win at Indiana and did it without their two power forwards as both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson sat out.

One positive note for Chicago is that they are 2-0 against Washington this season and have won five of than past six meetings and are 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road against teams with losing records and are 6-0 ATS in their last six trips to Washington. Add that the Wizards are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games when favored. Take CHICAGO! |

L.A. Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Clippers- The 76ers have to be one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA with their ability to just crush opponents when playing at home and one of the most disappointing when playing on the road (9-19). The Clippers who are favored in the West have split their past six games alternating wins and losses but have won 10 of their last 13 overall. It has been over a year since these two met and both teams have a key changes since then. LA claims that Kawhi Leonard has an ailing knee and just picked up Marcus Morris to pick up the slack...it won't be enough. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Golden State has added former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins who spent five plus years in Minnesota and broke in with 24 points against the Lakers in a 125-120 loss on Saturday. Miami added Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder who have yet to mesh in with the Heat as they have lost their last three and six of their last eight. Although Miami is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight-up loss but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine as road favorites. Take the WARRIORS! |

Utah at Houston 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- Small ball, yeah how's that working out for ya...not so much. Look the problem with the Houston Rockets is that any team that doesn't play defense won't have the heart it takes to win in pressure situations. These two have about the same record with Houston having played and lost one more game. The Rockets had their 4-game win streak ended in Phoenix as the Suns routed Houston 127-91 (Megabucks winner) while Utah ended a six-game losing streak with a win at Portland. Despite their bad run the Jazz are 12-3-1 ATS following a straight-up win. Take UTAH! |

The Knicks have already posted a 143-120 win over the Hawks as well as a 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Atlanta.

Washington is coming off of a thrilling 119-118 win over Dallas with Bradley Beal scoring 29 points and newcomer Shabazz Napier adding 14 in his debut. The Wizards will also have Jerome Robinson available Sunday. The Grizzlies posted a 128-11 home win over the Wizards back in mid December and now it's turn-about.

This year their trip has gotten off to an auspicious start as they have dropped the first three including a 127-117 loss at Portland Thursday night. Prior to this trip the Spurs have been a winner on the road going 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 and 8-3-1 ATS as road favorites in their last 12 games. But, there are other factors to consider as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings against the Kings. Sacramento is 5-2 ATS in their last seven and 5-1 ATS in the second of back-to backs.

Denver at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- Denver is feeling pretty good about themselves as they have won 12 of 17 but they are especially proud of their last win at Utah when they had just seven players available. The Nuggets should be very confident having defeated the Suns four straight and 14 of the past 16 meetings. Phoenix who is out of the playoff picture in the West once again broke a four-game losing streak against Houston last night scoring their biggest margin of victory this season winning 127-91. Denver is not only 5-11 ATS after a straight-up win they are just 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns love playing on Saturday's when they are 6-1-1 ATS. Take PHOENIX! |

But, they are now 2-3 since losing All-Star guard Luka Doncic including last night's 119-119 loss at Washington. Charlotte who has been a major disappointment this season has lost four in-a-row and 12 of 13 since their overtime win at Dallas 123-120 back on January 4. Although the Mavericks are 12-3-1 iATS n their last 16 as road favorites they are playing without their key figure as there is no one to fill Doncic's shoes. Take the HORNETS! |

They parted with Dion Waiters, James Johnson and Justin Winslow. The Heat will find out tonight how difficult it is to change a roster in mid-stream so to speak. The Kings had won four straight in the series before Miami's 118-113 overtime home win three weeks. There is a conflict in trends as Miami is 2-6 ATS as road favorites while the Kings are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 home games.

Houston at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Rockets- Both teams are streaking but, in opposite directions. Houston won their fourth straight last night taking down the Lakers while the Suns have lost their last four and five of six. This line as low as it is draws some concerns as the Suns have lost 11 straight to the Rockets and will be playing without five players including Frank Kaminsky. Houston may have won their last four are just 3-7 ATS on the road and 1-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. Although the Rockets are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 trips to Phoenix they are just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. Taker PHOENIX! |

Luka Doncic has missed the last three games with the Mavericks winning the first two over Atlanta and Indiana and dropping their last encounter against Memphis. Kristaps Porzingis has returned to action and posted 39 points in their loss but now is questionable after suffering a broken nose. Dallas is 17-7 SU on the road and 16-5-2 ATS and are 13-3-1 ATS as road favorites. Washington who is 11-12 at home are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as hosts and 4-1 ATS as a home underdog.

The Spurs are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they are displaced for a stretch of eight games and have already dropped their first two in LA to both the Lakers and Clippers. The Blazers have been inconsistent for the most part and are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games including 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite.

New Orleans at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Pelicans- Well, Zion Williamson has made his debut and has been quite impressive shooting better than 50% in his first six game but in his last time out against Milwaukee he was held to 5-of-19 from the floor. New Orleans enters the Windy City with losses to the Bucks and Rockets while Chicago has dropped their last three all on the road and are 2-5 ATS in their last six overall. Like I had pointed out previously the Pelicans were playing better basketball before Zion's debut and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 7-2-1 ATS on the road in their last 10 but, those ATS wins all came as underdogs. Williamson is listed as questionable with a sprained toe and that drops the Pelicans a notch. The Bulls have been atrocious as a home dog going 6-20 ATS in their last 26 in that role but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Take CHICAGO! |

For Memphis there has been a bonding of sorts as players have stepped-up and commented on the Andre Oguodala situation where he refuses to play for the Grizzlies. The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 following a win. Memphis meanwhile is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Take the GRIZZLIES! |

Indiana at Toronto 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- The year long wait for the return of All-Star Victor Oladipo has been a major disappointment as they are 1-2 defeating just the Bulls in overtime before dropping their last two with Oladipo shooting a miserable 8-of-39 from the floor including 3-of-21 from beyond the arc. Toronto who has had their injured return are on an 11-game win streak and are off of a 129-102 rout of Chicago. History has not been kind to the Pacers in Toronto as they are just 12-27 ATS as visitors in this series including 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. But as of late Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games while the Raptors are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games against winning teams. Still, I expect Oladipo to return to form tonight...take INDIANA! |

Golden State at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Warriors- I've said for years, 'break-up the Warriors' and see now what happens...they are playing like champions. Golden State has won their last two on the road and have had their way against the Nets winning the last eight meetings and the last four in Brooklyn. But, the overall number are not that impressive as the Warriors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Brooklyn. Now, the Nets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall but they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as home favorites and are 5-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The BROOKLYN! |

Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:35 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- The Pelicans started to make a positive move in early January and have only improved their with the debut of Zion Williamson added to the line-up. Milwaukee of course brings the most dynamic player in the NBA today with Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 30 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists Saturday as he led the Bucks to their 10 win in their last 11 games. The quickly improving Pelicans are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games and are 6-3 ATS in their last eight games as home dogs and 8-2 ATS in their last eight home games overall. Look for the Pels who had won three straight before Houston did them in last time out to rebound here both on boards and scoreboard. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Philadelphia at Miami 7:35 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- The NBA's two clubs with the best home records will clash in Miami where the Heat are 21-3 SU while the 76ers are 22-2 SU when hosting but take on a different hue when on the road. Philadelphia is just 9-17 SU on the road and are coming off of a beating at Boston 116-95 where Joel Embiid was just 1-for-11 shooting from the floor. Miami meanwhile was pounding the Magic at Orlando and return home where they are 15-6-1 ATS as favorites in their last 22 games while the Sixers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. But, with this line so low and Philly is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Miami and I expect them to rebound here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

The Knicks are just 4-12 SU in their last 16 games and are most likely lottery bound like the Cavaliers who are on a 1-10 slide and yet came up favored here. Take CLEVELAND! |

Golden State at Washington 7:05 ET Warriors (+) over Wizards- 'Break-up' the Warriors,' we heard it for five years and now that they have won two straight and can put together their first 3-game winning streak of the season with a win tonight. With the exception of Curry and Thompson Golden State fielded a complete roster of healthy players for the first time this season. With the Warriors gaining confidence they are 4-1 ATS after a SU win while the Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games most of which they were receiving points. This time take GOLDEN STATE! |

L.A. Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Lakers- The world's loss of Kobe Bryant has affected people all over the globe and none more than the team he spent 20-years playing for the L.A. Lakers. The Lakers didn't handle their first game out after Brant's death very well as they fell to the Trailblazers last night. Tonight, they will be playing an NBA West doormat in Sacramento who is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs. LA is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Sacramento but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and 0-4 ATS on the road against a team with a losing record. Take the KINGS! |

Philadelphia at Boston 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- Now this one has me taken back a bit as Boston has opened a meager favorite here at home and the 'price' has dwindled since. What causes my attention to peak here is the home and away records of both teams. Philadelphia as most know are a dominating 22-2 at home while posting a poor 9-16 record on the road. Boston is 19-5 SU at home and are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with winning records. The 76ers are 0-5-1 ATS as road underdogs and are not only 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings and 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Boston. This line makes no sense to me...take PHILADELPHIA! |

The Magic who lead the NBA in scoring defense allowing 104.7 points per game but have surrendered 111 points per contest in their last nine games and they are 3-6 in that span. The Heat who are 21-3 at home are just 11-12 on the road and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against Miami and are the take here. It's ORLANDO! |

Oklahoma City at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City who is a more than respectable 14-10 straight-up on the road are an amazing 19-5 ATS and have won four in-a-row away from home outright. Phoenix who is 0-6 ATS in their last six home games are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win but they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog. Suns who have shown great strides this season played their first 30 of 32 games without former No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton who was 13-of-15 shooting with nine rebounds in their 133-104 rout at Dallas. Take PHOENIX! |

Dallas at Houston 7:30 ET Rockets (-) over Mavericks- Both of these clubs are off of losses and have the exact same season record (29-18) at this point but they are viewed by the 'public' differs. Dallas who is 16-6 SU and 14-5-2 ATS on the road are seen as an up and coming squad while the Rockets appear to have lost their edge. Houston who is being hampered by James Harden's prolonged shooting slump are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven as favorites and just 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings against the Mavericks. Dallas is 12-4-2 ATS as a road underdog but are just 1-5-1 ATS when playing against winning teams. In need of a bounce back performance...take HOUSTON! |

The Raptors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall but just 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with losing records. Detroit who has played the entire season with Blake Griffin are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games. Aside from the pair of losses this season to Toronto the Pistons had cashed in four straight in this series. Take DETROIT! |

Utah at Denver 10:35 ET Jazz (+) over Jazz- Oddly enough this air of better Western Conference foe are off of losses as Utah has dropped their last two including a loss at San Antonio last night and the Nuggets are off of a loss at Memphis. The Jazz had won 19 of 21 before the double losses and Denver had won 8-of-11. It appears to me that this line is a bit short as considering Nuggets are 6-0-1 after a loss and the Jazz is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Denver. But, Utah is n15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 and 6-1 ATS following a ATS loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take UTAH! |

The Raptors have already beaten the Cavaliers twice in Toronto and now face them on their court when they are playing their best ball of the season having won their last two games and 3-of-4 outright. As good as the Raptors are including 6-2 in their last eight games overall but are 1-6 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. Meanwhile the Cavs are 6-1 ATS at home against teams with winning record. Take CLEVELAND! |

Charlotte at Washington 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Wizards- Charlotte managed to end an eight-game losing streak when they overcame a 13-point deficit at New York and defeated the Knicks. Washington has lost six of eight as they have allowed 152 and 151 points in each of their last two losses. It is hard enough for teams to win when so many are playing with load management but other don't need days off when they don't even make an effort in the games that they do play. Charlotte is 10-2 ATS on the road against teams with losing home records. Take the HORNETS! |

The Kings have won two straight both on the road at Chicago and Minnesota after breaking a six game losing streak. The Thunder have been point spread darlings on the road going 20-7 ATS in their last 27 as visitors while Sacramento is 2-10-1 ATS at home and are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four as a home underdog. All that changes tonight...take SACRAMENTO! |

The Spurs are just 9-23 ATS in their last 32 home games overall but are 14-5 ATS as a home underdog and a commanding 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings hosting Utah. The Jazz are playing well and had won 19 of 21 before getting ambushed by an injured Rockets team at home 126-117 last night and are still 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 overall. I like the way the Spurs back back after a straight-up loss and are 10-2-1 ATS in the following game. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

The Grizzlies have won 11 of the last 15 meetings and are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 in their last 14 games as road favorites. I expect a bit of a slip by the Griz tonight after a strong performance in their win against the Nuggets.
