Detroit at Portland 10:00 ET Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- The Pistons have fallen back on hard times losing eight straight while the Trailblazers are keeping that same steady playoff pace winning seven of their last 10. Portland has dominated Detroit in recent years winning 10 of the last 12 meetings straight-up including the last six meetings in at home. To compound the problem Detroit has lost 10 of their last 11 road games but the Blazers are just 1-5 ATS in their last six home games against teams with road winning % under .400. Take the points with DETROIT! |

03-13-15 | Atlanta Hawks v. Phoenix Suns +5.5 | Top | 96-87 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 18 m | Show |
Atlanta at Phoenix 10:05 ET Suns (+) over Hawks- It looks like the run of the Atlanta Hawks may have hit a bump or two as their play has started to show some vulnerability as they have lost two of their last three to Philadelphia and Denver. Phoenix who desperately need a wins to get back into the West playoff hunt haven't beaten a team with a winning record in two weeks. This is the first meeting of the season between these two but before this the Hawks are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 1-4 ATS in their last five in Phoenix. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last five overall and are happy to return home. Take the SUNS! |

03-13-15 | Miami Heat +5.5 v. Toronto Raptors | 92-102 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 53 m | Show | |
Miami at Toronto 7:35 ET Heat (+) over Raptors- The Raptors have taken a turn for the worse and can only hope to turn to a nurse for help as they are 1-9 straight-up in their last 10 and 2-8 ATS in that period. Meeting Miami is no relief as the Heat have defeated Toronto 16 straight times going back to before LeBron James arrived. This includes the last seven at home as the Heat are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings north of the border. Miami has a ½ game lead over Charlotte for the final playoff spot in the East and have an improved line-up with new acquisitions. Hassen Whiteside will return after a one-game suspension and he will have an impact. Take MIAMI! |
|||||||
03-12-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. San Antonio Spurs +1.5 | 128-125 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Cleveland at San Antonio 9:30 ET Spurs (+) over Cavaliers- With the understanding that LeBron James who is making his first trip to San Antonio has not been with the Cavaliers the past four seasons Cleveland is just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 meetings against the Spurs including 1-4 ATS in San Antonio. The Spurs have picked up the pace since the All-Star game and are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and 4-1 ATS in the last five at home. The Cavaliers are off a pounding over Dallas and should come-back a step here. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
03-12-15 | Houston Rockets v. Utah Jazz +2 | 91-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
Houston at Utah 9:05 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- The Jazz who have dropped the two meetings against the Rockets this season are playing much better sinning sox of their last seven and eight of their last 10 straight-up. Utah's overall play has lead the NBA in defense since the All-Star break allowing a meager 83.4 points. Houston has won four of the last five meetings ATS while the Jazz are 5-0-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning record. The Rockets are off a poor performance at Portland and are meetings a hot club tonight. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
03-12-15 | Memphis Grizzlies v. Washington Wizards -1.5 | 87-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Memphis at Washington 9:05 ET Wizards (+) over Grizzlies- After last night's outright loss in Boston, Memphis will try and even their four game road trip win a win at Washington but are still sitting comfortably in the NO.2 spot in the West. The Wizards meanwhile have been up-and-down winning three of their last five after having dropped 11 of 13. Washington is 0-4 ATS in their last four home games and are 2-13-1 ATS in their last 16 games with two days rest. This time the Wizards get it done at home. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
03-11-15 | Los Angeles Clippers v. Oklahoma City Thunder -6.5 | 120-108 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (-) over Clippers- Both clubs will be without their 'Big guns' once again as the Clippers' Blake Griffin and the Thunder's Kevin Durant are sidelined. The pressure continues on Oklahoma City as they battle New Orleans for the final playoff spot in the West and and they will keep their foot on the gas peddle lead by the leagues most current dynamic player in Russell Westbrook. These two have spilt their two meetings with the home team posting wins and I expect that pattern to continue. The Clippers are just 13-18 on the road and will fall here as the Thunder will just run them out...take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
03-11-15 | Memphis Grizzlies v. Boston Celtics +4.5 | Top | 92-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
Memphis at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Grizzlies- The trends surrounding this contest play right into the Celtics hands as they are 9-1 ATS against teams with winning records while Memphis is 0-7 ATS in the last seven games against teams with losing records. Boston is also 6-0-1 ATS at home in their last seven and the Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last six following an ATS win. Memphis is pretty much 'locked' into the No. 2 seed in the West with only a complete collapse by the Warriors would give them a chance at the top spot. Going through the motions won't get it done tonight for Memphis as the playoff fighting Celtics get it done. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
03-11-15 | Chicago Bulls v. Philadelphia 76ers +6.5 | 104-95 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
Chicago at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Bulls- The Chicago Bulls are looking at the second seed in the East in the rear view mirror as they have now dropped their last three playing without their top three scorer Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson. Philadelphia has shown signs of improvement especially with their latest win over division leading Atlanta 92-84 on Saturday. The Bulls have four four straight in the series and nine of the last 10 meetings but are 1-4 ATS the last four. Chicago just doesn't 'get up' for weaker teams as they are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games against teams with losing records. Philadelphia is 9-2 ATS in tier last 11 at home and will get the money here against the limping Bulls. Take 76ERS! |
|||||||
03-10-15 | Detroit Pistons v. Los Angeles Lakers +2.5 | 85-93 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
Detroit at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Pistons- These two clubs has lost a combined 11 straight games as the Pistons enter Los Angeles on a six game slide while the Lakers have dropped their last five. Both clubs have faltered down the stretch as the Lakers have been outscored 55-35 in the final quarter of their last two losses while the Pistons were outscored 30-17 by the Hornets in the final stanza their last time out. Detroit is 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Los Angeles and have lost the last five in the series and are just 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Neither team has quit on the season but I see the Lakers winning here. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
03-10-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Dallas Mavericks +4.5 | 127-94 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Cavaliers- The Mavericks are looking forward to returning home after they salvaged this final game of their three-game road trip with a win over the Lakers Sunday night. Dallas is just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall but re 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games at home. Cleveland who now holds the No. 2 spot in the East is just 4-8 straight-up against the Western Conference and has dropped their last five meetings straight-up and ATS against the Mavs who are 20-7 against the Eastern Conference. The 'numbers' here are hard to play against. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
03-10-15 | New Orleans Pelicans v. Brooklyn Nets -3 | Top | 111-91 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
New Orleans at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (-) over Pelicans- Anthony Davis is putting the NBA on notice after his career high 43 points on Monday against the Bucks as he is averaging 33.5 points, 11.8 rebounds and 4.5 blocks since returning from his shoulder injury four games ago. New Orleans has climbed to within a half-game of Oklahoma City for the final playoff spot in the West while the Nets have dropped their last three since their last win over Golden State on March 2nd and are 2½ games behind Charlotte for the final spot in the East. The Pelicans are off last night's win but must make a quick turn-around and play in Brooklyn where they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games. Davis can't do it alone and the Nets will raise for this occasion. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
03-09-15 | Minnesota Timberwolves v. Los Angeles Clippers -9.5 | 76-89 | Win | 100 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
Minnesota at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (-) over Timberwolves- These two enter this contest off opposite results as Los Angeles has dropped two straight while the Timberwolves snapped a four game losing streak with a huge home win over the Trailblazers on Saturday. The Clippers have won the last 11 meetings including a 110-105 win as a 6-point favorite a week ago in Minnesota. The Timberwolves are just 5-23 on the road and are an improved club with Garnett but after such a big home win I expect them to slip here. Take the CLIPPERS! |
|||||||
03-09-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Phoenix Suns +5 | 98-80 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
Golden State at Phoenix 10:00 ET Suns (+) over Warriors- With the season's big games on the line it's time for the Phoenix Suns to turn it on as they fight for the final playoff spot in the NBA Western Conference. They are about to play nine of their next 10 games at home and will be facing seven playoff contenders during this stretch. Meanwhile, Golden State has a five-and-a-half game lead for the best record in the West and posted two easy wins over contenders this weekend. This home stand could not have come at a better time for the Suns who are just 5-11 straight-up in their last 16 games beginning with a 106-87 loss at Golden State. The Warriors are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games and have dropped four straight ATS at Phoenix and the home team has won six straight in this series. Take the SUNS! |
|||||||
03-09-15 | Memphis Grizzlies v. Chicago Bulls +4.5 | Top | 101-91 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
Memphis at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Grizzlies- Despite their rash of injuries the Chicago Bulls are a hard fighting tough bunch of hang-in there group that just doesn't quit. Off their Sunday loss at San Antonio the Bulls have fallen front the No. 2 seed and are now a ½ game behind the Cleveland Cavaliers in the East while Memphis holds the second spot in the West by 1½ games. The Grizzlies are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games although they are 4-1 ATS in their last five in Chicago, games in which they were underdogs. This time their roll has changed and so will the result. The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last six after a loss of 10 or more...take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
03-08-15 | Dallas Mavericks v. Los Angeles Lakers +7 | 100-93 | Push | 0 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
Dallas at Los Angeles Lakers 10:35 Lakers (+) over Mavericks- both these clubs enter this contest on a down-note as Dallas has lost four of their last five and Los Angeles have lost four straight. It looks like the acquisition of Rajon Rondo is not going to work as expected as the horrible shooting 'Diva' is once again causing head-aches. The Mavericks have won both meetings this season (without Rondo) and the last five meetings overall but are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games. The Lakers meanwhile are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Take LOS ANGELES! |
|||||||
03-08-15 | Toronto Raptors +7 v. Oklahoma City Thunder | 104-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |

The Raptors are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games overall while the Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Maybe it's the time-change but tonight the Raptors get it done. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
03-08-15 | Chicago Bulls v. San Antonio Spurs -9 | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
Chicago at San Antonio 12:00 ET Spurs (-) over Bulls- The Spurs return home after their annual 'Rodeo Trip' when they are forced onto an extended road trip winning their last two after having lost their first five to finish 2-5. it appears that the injuries have caught up with the Bulls as were outscored by 14 points in the fourth quarter in their loss to Indiana last time out. Chicago has manged to bounce-back after defeats going 8-1 ATS in their last nine games following a loss but they are truly short-handed without Derrick Rose, Taj Gibson and most importantly Jimmy Butler. Granted they will be 'game' and have plenty of fight but not enough against the Spurs who are ready to make their playoff push. Take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
03-07-15 | Washington Wizards +4.5 v. Milwaukee Bucks | 85-91 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
Washington at Milwaukee 8:35 ET Wizards (+) over Bucks- The Wizards have been truly inconsistent of late not only game-to-game but at time quarter-to-quarter. Last night they had a 35-point lead over the Miami Heat and then had to hang-on for dear life as they escaped with a two-point 99-97 win. Meanwhile the Milwaukee Bucks have fallen out and have lost four straight and six of their last seven. Even though Washington is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Milwaukee they are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 road games. Still, with the Bucks struggling it's the WIZARDS! |
|||||||
03-07-15 | Portland Trail Blazers v. Minnesota Timberwolves +4.5 | 113-121 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Portland at Minnesota 8:05 ET Timberwolves (+) over Trailblazers- The impact of Wesley Matthews torn Achilles tendon remains to be seen but he will be missed somewhat but not as much as most believe as Arron Afflalo an NBA 3-point shooting champion fills in. Minnesota has added Kevin Garnett and his addition has helped but just how much on such a weak team. Minnesota can hand their hat on the fact that they are 4-1 ATS in their last five since acquiring Garnett and that they are 5-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. In this time and spot it's the Timberwolves. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
03-07-15 | Memphis Grizzlies v. New Orleans Pelicans +1 | Top | 89-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
Memphis at New Orleans 7:05 ET Pelicans (+) over Grizzlies- These two clubs finished their last contests in direct contrast as the Grizzlies staged a come from behind run in the final three minutes to steal a victory over the Lakers while New Orleans collapsed in the fourth quarter and were defeated by Boston 104-98. The Pelicans struggled controlling the ball as Tyreke Evan turned the ball over seven times as New Orleans committed 18 turnovers. Memphis may be off a great win but are 1-6 ATS after a straight-up win while the Pelicans are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games against a team with a winning record of 60% or better. The Pelicans bounce back here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Detroit at Houston 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Rockets- The Pistons enter this contest off four straight losses while the Rockets have dropped their last two and will look to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season. These two have a curious history as they are 63-63 all-time with each have a 46-17 straight-up advantage at home. After a horrid start (5-23) Detroit has the third best winning percentage in the East since Christmas at .56%. They are also 6-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight-up loss and have never quit. Take DETRIOT! |

03-06-15 | Phoenix Suns v. Brooklyn Nets -2.5 | Top | 108-100 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 13 m | Show |
Phoenix at Brooklyn 8:00 ET Nets (+) over Suns- The Phoenix Suns are off a huge come-from-behind 4th quarter win over the Magic while the Nets after beating the Warriors fell to the Hornets 115-91 their last time out. The Suns fighting for the final playoff spot in the West are moving in the wrong direction as they have dropped seven of their last 10 and 10 of their last 14. Two trends that coincide are that phoenix is 1-8 ATS in their last nine games following a straight-up win while Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS in their last four games after a straight-up loss. Phoenix has lost 3-of-4 against the East and the Nets have won 3-of-4 at home. Take BROOKLYN! |

03-06-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Atlanta Hawks +2 | 97-106 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- This is the match-up of the night as Lebron James leads the Cavaliers who are 20-4 since his return against the Atlanta Hawks who have won five straight and are running away with the East. The Hawks are 28-4 at home and as an underdog here seems to be a great value as Cleveland is just 16-15 on the road and 13-18 ATS. The Hawks are well balanced and play defense as they have held each of their last five opponents under 100 points while all five starters average double figures. We can always play tricks with trend but one that I can't ignore has Atlanta 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a winning percentage of .600 of better. Take the HAWKS! |
|||||||
03-05-15 | Dallas Mavericks +2.5 v. Portland Trail Blazers | Top | 75-94 | Loss | -101 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
Dallas at Portland 10:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Trailblazers- The Portland Trailblazers are off an improbably win last night when the trailed the L.A. Clippers by 10 points with just under three minutes remaining and managed a 98-93 overtime victory. The Last time these two met in Dallas the Mavericks turned the same trick on Portland trailing by 11 points with 1:59 remaining and won by 10 in overtime. Dallas has won 29 of the last 40 regular season meetings and catch the Blazers off an emotional win last night. Look for Dallas to do it once again. Take the MAVERICKS! |

03-04-15 | Memphis Grizzlies +4.5 v. Houston Rockets | 102-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Memphis at Houston 8:05 ET Grizzlies (+) over Rockets- Love this match-up and I am going to make sure I see it. Trends abound and many point in different directions. To start with Memphis is 0-4 ATSin their last four games while Houston is 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall. The Rockets are also 6-0 ATS in their last six home games against a team with a winning record and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games overall. So, here's what bothers me about the Rockets with ALL those sparkling trends they are just a 3-point field goal favorite against a team that appears to be struggling other then the fact that Memphis is 4-0-1 ATS in their last five against teams with winning record above .60%. My gut says that the GRIZZLIES! |
|||||||
03-04-15 | Charlotte Hornets +5.5 v. Brooklyn Nets | Top | 115-91 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
Charlotte at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- I am moving toward this match-up because I have had great success with and against both these clubs. These two enter this game with the same record and are fighting for the final two playoff spots in the East. Brooklyn is coming off a huge win over the Warriors and is 10-0 on March in this last two seasons while Charlotte is 15-9 since the New Year including a five0game losing streak. The Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games and have won their last two but have won no more then three in-a-row all season. I expect this one to come down to the final buzzer with the points worth taking. It's CHARLOTTE! |

Phoenix at Orlando 7:05 ET Magic (+) over Suns- After a great season last year the Phoenix Suns missed out of the tough West playoffs and this year the pressure has started to get to them. They have dropped 10 of their last 13 straight-up and are just 1-game over .500 entering tonight's contest. Frustration is beginning to show on the Suns as they had two players ejected in their loss to the Heat on Monday and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games with one days rest. Orlando has improved defensively allowing only 87 points per contest in their last three games. Take the MAGIC! |

The Hawks are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home against against teams with winning records and Houston is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.

Look for the hoe team to respond here and post an convincing victory. Take DALLAS! |

Atlanta has won their last three after having dropped three of their last four and are 5-0 ATS in the last five meeting against Miami. The Heat are just 10-16 at home but will play nine of their next 11 as hosts and are looking to post a win tonight in a big way. Take MIAMI! |

Detroit at Washington 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Wizards- The Wizards are in a funk that is difficult to explain other then they are without guard Beal as they have lost eight of their last 10 and have been terrible in the process. Washington is 20-10 straight-up at home while Detroit is 11-15 on the road. The Pistons have had the best of this series going 5-1 ATS in Washington and 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. It's so bad for the Wizards that they have not been able to get up off the floor after a ATS loss going 1-12 ATS and are 3-14 ATS in their last 17. Take DETROIT! |

Miami at New Orleans 8:00 ET Heat over Pelicans- These two clubs will both be with their 'man-in-the-middle' All-Stars as Miami will be without Chris Bosh and New Orleans is with Anthony Davis. These two met Saturday in Miami as the Pelicans got out front early and were able to survive 105-91 in the contest in which Davis re-injured his shoulder. New Orleans has dominated this series at home going 16-4-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings but much is different this time out. Aside from Davis the Pelicans will be without Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday and Miami has added Goran Dragic. Take HEAT! |

Golden State at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors over Warriors- This game is just about where it should be (concerning the number) as the Warriors after last night's loss in Cleveland are 20-9 on the road while Toronto is 21-9 straight-up at home. Toronto just finished a four game road trip with three losses and return home to host a club they have had an on-going nightmare against. The Raptors are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 meetings against Golden State and are 1-4 ATS in their last five overall. Toronto is currently the #2 seed in the East behind Atlanta and needs a win in the worst way and they should get it here as the Warriors are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. Take TORONTO! |

Cleveland at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Cavaliers- Two of the NBA's 'hottest' clubs confront each other in Indiana tonight as the Cleveland Cavaliers who have won 18 of their last 20 since the return of LeBron James with one of those losses coming at the hands of the Indiana Pacers who have won six of their last eight games. The Cavs are off a huge win against the Western Conference leading Golden State Warriors last night in Cleveland and must now travel to Indianapolis where they have lost their last nine appearances and are 1-5 ATS in their last six. The Pacers off a loss last time out are 5-0 ATS after a straight-up loss. Look for the Pacers to keeps the trends working at least against the points. Take INDIANA! |

Oklahoma City at Phoenix 10:30 ET Suns (+) over Thunder- There is good news and bad news for the Suns entering this battle against Oklahoma City. To start with Phoenix ended a five-game losing streak last night with a 100-96 win over Denver but the bad news is that they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up win and 0-7 after an ATS win. But, the Suns seems able to gear up against Oklahoma City as they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The Thunder have a chance to move into the seventh playoff spot in the West with a win and have won seven straight entering this contest. The win over the Nuggets was just the second in 10 games for the Suns who are 0-2 against the Thunder and 2-13 straight-up in the last 15 meetings. But, at home with confidence restored after a win last night...it's PHOENIX! |

San Antonio at Portland 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both these squads are stumbling at this time as the Spurs has dropped three straight and are just 5-5 in their last 10 while the Trailblazers are 4-6 in their last 10. San Antonio as a matter of fact are 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall and are their longest road trip of the season. For the Trailblazers La Marcus Aldridge is questionable with a thumb injury and even if he plays his effectiveness with be in doubt. Portland has won 2-of-3 meetings this season and the Spurs will even the ledger tonight. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

L.A. Clippers at Houston 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Rockets- The Los Angeles Clippers even without Blake Griffin have dominated this series of late winning the last six meetings and nine of the last 10 straight-up. The key for Los Angeles may not be Griffin but J.J. Redick as they are 24-5 when he scores at least 15 points and with Griffin sidelined Redick's role has been increased. Houston has been playing short-handed for a while now but are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games at home while the Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last five overall. Take the CLIPPERS! |

Dallas at Atlanta 7:35 ET Hawks (-) over Mavericks- Dallas is another fourth quarter charge as they stormed back to defeat the Raptors last night hitting their first 10 shots in the final quarter. Atlanta has had two days rest off their Sunday win over Milwaukee on Sunday while the Mavericks are in a back-to-back situation. The Hawks own an NBA high 25 wins at home and have dropped two straight as host and are looking to bust out tonight against weary Mavs club. Take ATLANTA! |

Toronto at Dallas 8:30 ET Raptors (+) over Mavericks- The Toronto Raptors will have to regroup quickly after blowing an 18-point lead last night in New Orleans even though the Pelicans were without three of their top four scorers. The Raptors have dropped their last two contests after a 10-2 run and are now in back-to-back games which doesn't seem to bother them. Toronto is 9-2 ATS when playing without rest but have to overcome poor play that they display in Dallas where they are just 4-14 straight-up although the y are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings with the Mavericks. Take TORONTO! |

Indiana at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Thunder- Although the Indiana Pacers are just 23-33 straight-up they have turned a profit for their backers going 30-23-3 ATS. Oklahoma City has won six in-a-row both straight-up and ATS and is as hot as any team in the NBA but they will once again be without MVP Kevin Durant and sooner or later that will start to affect the clubs performance. With Durant the Thunder haven't lost to Indiana at home since April 2009 while the Pacers have won three straight themselves and are 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Look for the Pacers to keep this one closer then most might believe. Take INDIANA! |

Although Cleveland has won four of the last five meetings including a win at Auburn Hills a few weeks ago they are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games on Tuesday's while Detroit is 5-0 ATS in their last five games on the second day of the work week.

The Jazz who opened the second half with a convincing 92-76 win over the Trailblazers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at home. Even though the Spurs have won six of the past seven meetings the teams have split their two meetings this season. San Antonio is just in a funk at this time. Take UTAH! |

The Warriors posted an impressive home win over the Spurs on Friday and has won four straight and seven of their last eight while the Pacers are playing their best ball of the season winning five of their last six. Indiana is 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall and 4-1 ATS in their last five home games. Take the PACERS! |

Washington has lost four straight on the road and are off a 127-89 beating by the Cavaliers on Friday and will be without Bradley Beal for the fifth straight game. Detroit is off a 100-91 win over Chicago and will have newly acquired Reggie Jackson and the return of Tayshaun Prince available for this contest. Detroit who got off to a horrific start are just one game off the playoff pace for the eighth seed and have won 11 of the last 13 meetings. Take the PISTONS! |

Atlanta at Milwaukee 3:30 ET Bucks (+) over Hawks- The Atlanta Hawks have returned to earth after going undefeated in January and have now lost four of their last seven games while Milwaukee has become one of the hottest team in the league winning nine of their last 10 contests. Atlanta is off a 105-80 pasting by Toronto Friday their worst home loss since the Bucks beat them 107-77 the game before they started their 19-game winning streak. I just thin the Hawks have lost their edge and the Bucks are playing their best ball of the season. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Toronto at Houston 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Rockets- The Houston Rockets have dominated the Toronto Raptors in Houston over the years winning 16 of the last 19 games play where NASA resides. The Raptors haven't won there since February 2007 and yet even off a win last night in Atlanta the Rockets are just a three-ball shot favorite. Houston is off a loss at Dallas where they committed 21 turnovers and are starting a five game home stand against the vastly improved Raptors. I just can't by this meager point spread at home for Houston. I think Vegas believes Toronto is the side and I will follow their lead. Take RAPTORS! |

Miami is excited about the debut of Goran Dragic and are off a 111-87 win over the Knicks at Madison Square Garden but will be without All-star Chris Bosh who by all reports will be out the remainder of the season. The Heat who are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games are also 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 at home against a team with a losing road record. The Pelicans will feature the return to Miami of guard Norris Cole who was just acquired in a trade from the Heat. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Oklahoma City at Charlotte 7:05 ET Thunder (-) over Hornets- The Thunder are beginning to show the offensive firepower that was missing without a healthy Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Oklahoma City is 4-0 ATS in their last four games and the Hornets are 1-6-1 ATS following a loss of 10 points or more. The Thunder have won eight straight in this series and a running 'hot' as all the part are starting to fall in together. On the road, it makes no difference here. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

02-20-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Washington Wizards +3.5 | Top | 127-89 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
Cleveland at Washington 8:00 ET Wizards (+) over Cavaliers- Last time out the Cavaliers were destroyed by the Chicago Bulls (Money Game winner) before the All-star break and most will expect Cleveland to rebound (excuse the pun) here but there are a number of factors to consider. A team is much better off playing another game quickly after a loss like that as the sour taste of defeat has remained with them for eight days. And there are some trends that does not help the Cavaliers cause. The first is that they are 0-4 ATS in their four games following a loss of 10-points or more and they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games against a team with a winning home record. The Wizards entered the break losers in six of their last eight games the last a 93-91 loss to Atlantic Division leader Toronto. Cleveland pounded the Wiz 113-87 in their last meeting and I expect a better effort out of them this time out. Take WASHINGTON! |

02-20-15 | Toronto Raptors +5 v. Atlanta Hawks | 105-80 | Win | 100 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
Toronto at Atlanta 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Hawks- So, at the All-star break the Atlanta Hawks has the most wins in the NBA with 44 as they have won 22 of their last 25 contests including 19 straight. They have a 10-game lead in their division and a 12-game home winning streak. Toronto has something to boast about as they have their most wins (36) in franchise history before the break and have won their last four road games. As well as three of the last four meetings with the Hawks. Atlanta won the last meeting 110-89 in Toronto and I see the Raptors returning the favor. Take TORONTO! |

02-20-15 | Chicago Bulls v. Detroit Pistons +6 | 91-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 51 m | Show | |
Chicago at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Bulls- The Chicago Bulls are one of the teams that wasn't to pleased to see the All-star break as they were on a four-game winning streak and were building momentum while the Detroit Pistons were happy to see the break so they can regroup after losing Brandon Jennings (4-7 since his season ending injury). The addition of Reggie Jackson should add some power (Ha) to Detroit's line-up. After a horrific start the Pistons bounced back with a 12-3 December run and still are within two games of a playoff spot if the East. Trends do clash here but I'll use the ones that suits my needs. Chicago is 2-9 ATS in their last 11 against teams with a losing record and they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight-up win. Take DETROIT! |

02-19-15 | San Antonio Spurs v. Los Angeles Clippers +3 | Top | 115-119 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show |
San Antonio at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (+) over Spurs- I'm having a little difficulty processing this line even though All-star Blake Griffin is sidelined. First, I see that that the Spurs and Clippers have almost identical records with the Los Angeles holding a one-game advantage. Next, I see that the Clippers are 21-7 at home while San Antonio is 14-12 on the road and yet with a slightly better record overall and a decided home/road advantage the Spurs were made the favorites in Las Vegas. With Blake Griffin having missed the past three games the Clippers took a huge loss to the Rockets their first time out and then responded with a pair of wins. The Spurs have won their last two and 11 of 14 and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Still, I expect Los Angeles to rally behind DeAndre Jordan who has had 46 points and 47 points in the last two games. Take LOS ANGELES! |

02-19-15 | Dallas Mavericks +6 v. Oklahoma City Thunder | 89-104 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Dallas at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Thunder- With a healthy Devin Durant and Russell Westbrook the Thunder have started to make their playoff push as they are now three games over .500 for the first time this season and are off three straight win. Dallas has won the last three meetings and will have Rajon Rondo back after missing six games with facial fractures. The Mavericks just signed Amar'e Stoudemire and other then boing another big body tonight I don't believe he will have much impact. The All-star break didn't help the Oklahoma City as they were just getting it together and Russell winning the MVP doesn't help. Take DALLAS! |

Cleveland at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Cavaliers- Since LeBron James returned to the Cavaliers line-up they have ripped off 14 wins on their last 15 games including last night's 113-93 rout of his team the Miami Heat. The Bulls are starting to pick-up the pace as well winning their last three but will be without impact player Jimmy Butler which will be equalized with Cleveland being without Kevin Love. Chicago is 2-1 against the Cavs this year with the one loss coming when they were with Butler. This time they win. Take CHICAGO! |

02-11-15 | Utah Jazz +4 v. Dallas Mavericks | 82-87 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
Utah at Dallas 8:30 ET Jazz (+) over Mavericks- Just the tough of playing against the Mavericks makes me sick as I witnessed their rally from an 11-point deficit with just two minutes left to play against the Trailblazers Saturday night in their 111-101 overtime win. Of course they dropped their next encounter to the crippled Clippers on Monday getting blown out 115-98 at home. The Mavericks posted a 23-point win over Utah back in November and have dominated the Jazz in recent years going 15-7 ATS in the last 22 meetings in Dallas and have won seven straight in the series. But, there a problem for the Mavs tonight as they will be without three key players in point guard Rajon Rondo, their leading rebounder Tyson Chandler and leading scorer Monta Ellis. The Jazz have won their last two and are seeking their first three game win streak of the season. They get it tonight. Take UTAH! |

San Antonio at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- Both clubs are coming off a pair winners for us involving these two clubs as the Pistons destroyed the Hornets yesterday(Power Play winner) and the Spurs won with a non-cover against the Pacers (Power Play winner) on Monday. This is the final game for both clubs before the All-Star break and Gregg Popovich has reached the 1,000 win milestone last time out. The last time these two met the Pistons over-came an 18 point deficit and posted a 105-104 win at San Antonio which brought Detroit's ATS record to 6-1 over the Spurs in the last seven meetings. Somehow they do it again. Take the PISTONS! |

Atlanta at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Hawks- This is the final game of the 'first-half' of the season for both clubs as the Atlanta Hawks enter this contest with the best record in the NBA in a surprising first-half. They bounced-back from a loss to Memphis on Sunday with another double-digit win over Minnesota while Boston had their season high three game winning streak ended at Milwaukee on Saturday. The Celtics are 3-1 in their last four games straight-up and 4-0 ATS while the Hawks are 5-0 ATS on the road against teams under .500 at home where Boston is 11-15. Atlanta has already posted a 105-91 win in Boston four weeks ago but won't find the going as easy this time around. Take CELTICS! |

This doesn't bode well for the Thunder who are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 Monday night games. Denver, meanwhile, has now lost 12 of their last 13 including five straight at home but are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five hosting Oklahoma City.

The Nets were -6.5 in that game and there has bee a dramatic change in the performance of these two clubs. Brooklyn a playoff team last season is 21-29 while Milwaukee is 28-23 and a fabulous 33-18 ATS on the season. Even though the Bucks have been a 'money machine' for their backers most of those winnings came on the road as they are just 11-11 ATS at home. The Nets will be 'up' for this contest and will get the cash. Take BROOKLYN! |

Now, let's make it clear to start that the Spurs have won 13 of the last 14 meetings against Indiana and the Pacers are off a road win (non-cover over the Hornets and have won three straight. This is second of a nine game three week road trip for San Antonio and they are 12-12 both straight-up and against the points on the road this season.

Portland at Houston 7:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Rockets- After last night's meltdown I expect the Trailblazer to play a full 48 minutes. The trends here certainly say to fade Portland as they are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings with the Rockets and Houston is 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. The Blazers enter this contest off last night battle in Dallas and entered that contest 12-11 straight-up on the road and 11-12 ATS. Houston is without Dwight Howard and his presence will be missed.

Chicago is off a hard fought battle against the Pelicans last night in New Orleans and will be tested tonight. Orlando finally won ATS at home after losing five straight to the number and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Bulls. Chicago just doesn't seem to get ready for teams with losing records as they are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine against them. Take the MAGIC! |

In their Friday night loss at Toronto they blew a 20-point lead and lost 123-107 and were called for five technicals. The Clippers are 20-7 against Western Conference opponents and are 15-6 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Oklahoma City. Yet L.A. Is 1-5 in the last six meetings overall. The Thunder are off a loss in New Orleans and are 0-4 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the CLIPPERS! |

Portland at Dallas 8:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Mavericks- Even with Rajon Rondo sidelined I think this is a small 'number' for the Mavericks to be favored by as both clubs have 34 wins. When you consider that Portland has lost six straight on the road and haven't won away from home since beating the Lakers in Los Angeles on January 11th. Add that the Blazers are just 6-23 at Dallas raises another eyebrow (that makes three). Dallas broke a four game losing streak and have now won four of their last five but will fall short tonight.

Even though Brooklyn is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 trips to Washington they are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games against teams with a winning record.

Chicago at New Orleans 7:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bulls- I'm a bit surprised that Chicago has come up the favorite here as New Orleans has shown that they can play with anybody. The Bulls are in their longest losing streak of the season at three games coming after their 113-111 overtime win at Golden State. The Pelicans meanwhile have won seven of their last nine and none more dramatic then last night buzzer-beating win over Oklahoma City. The Bulls have won 10 of the last 13 meetings with many of those wins before Anthony Davis jointed New Orleans but the Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Milwaukee at Houston 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Rockets- Jason Kidd may not be the most popular guy in the NBA but he has his Milwaukee Bucks having their best season in years. The Bucks have won five straight and look like they are headed for the playoffs. Houston meanwhile has won five of six without Dwight Howard as leading scorer James Harden has picked up the slack. Milwaukee is 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Houston and with Portland up next the Rockets might get caught here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

L.A. Lakers at Orlando 7:00 ET Lakers (+) over Magic- Orlando has made a coaching change as Jacque Vaughn as fired on Thursday. Assistant James Borrego take over for a team that has lost 10 straight andI don't think it will make much difference even if they are facing the Lakers. Los Angeles is just 7-17 on the road going 11-12-2 ATS while Orlando is just 5-17 at home and are 7-15 ATS. The Lakers have dropped eight straight on the road while the Magic has disappeared at home going 1-9 in their last 10 at home. Take LOS ANGELES! |

Dallas at Sacramento 10:05 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- There is something way out of whack with this games as the 30-18 Dallas Mavericks are such a meager favorite over the 17-30 Sacramento Kings. The Mavericks who are without point guard Rajon Rondo had a 22-point first quarter lead and ended up losing by 14 points 128-114 to the Golden State Warriors. The Kings know what it's like to get pasted by the Warriors as they lost to them by 25-points 121-96 on Monday. Sacramento has lost nine of their last 10 but are 5-1 ATS in their last six home meetings against the Mavericks. Take the KINGS! |

Washington at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Wizards- These two clubs for some unexplained reason are moving in opposite direction as the Hornets have won 11 of their last 14 and moved into the seventh playoff spot in the East while the Wizards have dropped four straight and six of their last eight. Charlotte has won the last four meetings including a 92-88 win in Washington on Monday. The Hornets are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and will post anther win tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Boston defeated the Nuggets in Denver on January 23rd but are a paltry 9-15 at home going 9-14-1 ATS. Even though the Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Boston they will come-forth with a solid effort after losing to Philadelphia and look to even the season series. Take DENVER! |

Detroit at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (-) over Pistons- Two of the NBA's bottom feeders face each other for the third time this season as the Pacers losers of nine of their last 11 host the Pistons who have already posted two wins over Indiana this season. The Pacers have also lost four of their last five at home and are in dire need of a victory here. Although Detroit is coming off yesterday's (Power Play winner) win over Miami and is 4-1 Ats in the last five meetings they have struggled overall against the Pacers losing eight of the last 11 meetings straight-up. Take INDIANA! |

The Blazers are 0-4 ATS at home against teams with losing records in their last four but are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings with the Jazz. Still, take the improving UTAH JAZZ! |

Miami at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (-) over Heat- There are plenty of conflicting trends surrounding this contest as Miami is 10-3-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings while Detroit is 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. The Pistons ended a four game losing streak with a 114-101 win over Houston on Saturday (Power Play winner) and have won three of their last four at home. Miami has won 12 of the last 14 meetings going 10-3-1 ATS but that damage was done when LeBron James was with the Heat. They are a different team now. Take DETROIT! |

Even though Denver is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings in Philadelphia they are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings overall. Take the improving 76ERS! |

Atlanta at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Hawks- With the aid of their 19-game winning streak the Atlanta Hawks now possess the best record in the NBA but have failed to 'cover' in 3-of-4. The Hawks are 17-5 straight-up on the road while New Orleans is almost as impressive at home going 16-6 having won five of their last six as hosts. The Pelicans had won three straight in this series prior to their last meetings when the Hawks prevailed 100-91 in November as a 3-point favorite. New Orleans won on Friday without Antony Davis and will welcome his return here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Bucks- The Toronto Raptors have appeared to put it back together again as they have won six straight as they open a five-game homestand. Milwaukee who has lost the last six meetings straight-up against the Raptors has won three straight and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a convincing win over Portland on Saturday. But the Bucks are 1-4-1 ATS in the last six meetings with the Raptors. Take TORONTO! |

02-01-15 | Miami Heat v. Boston Celtics -3.5 | 83-75 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Miami at Boston 1:00 ET Celtics (-) over Heat- Friday night I witnessed something that made it difficult to believe I was watching an NBA game. I mean really have you ever seen or heard a professional basketball team being outscored 37-2. Seriously, 37-2! Now I see that the lowly Boston Celtics are favored and that in its self should tell the tale. These two met earlier in Miami when the Heat were without Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and their new sensation Hassan Whiteside and still managed a 100-84 victory. This time without Wade and Luol Deng they won't be so lucky. Boston is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and Miami is 1-6 ATS in their last seven meetings. Take BOSTON! |

01-31-15 | Los Angeles Clippers v. San Antonio Spurs -5.5 | 105-85 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 9:00 ET Spurs (-) over Clippers- Los Angeles is off a loss last night to New Orleans who was without star center Anthony Davis and might have gotten caught looking ahead to the Spurs who have already defeated the Clippers twice this season and L.A. Is 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. San Antonio is a different team when Kawhi Leonard is in the line-up as they are 21-8 with him and 9-9 without him. He's back, so take the SPURS! |

01-31-15 | Portland Trail Blazers v. Milwaukee Bucks +2 | 88-95 | Win | 101 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Portland at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Bucks (+) over Trailblazers- Both of these clubs are putting together streaks of different sorts as Portland has a chance for their second 3-game losing streak this month while Milwaukee can put together three straight wins for the first time since November. Trends point to the Bucks as they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games while the Trailblazers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven meetings against Milwaukee. Portland has lost five straight on the road and this looks like number six to me. Take MILWAUKEE! |

01-31-15 | Houston Rockets v. Detroit Pistons +5 | Top | 101-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
Houston at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Rockets- The Rockets have now won four straight and enter this contest winner of 11-2 ATS against teams with losing records. Houston has also defeated the Pistons seven straight times going 6-1 ATS in those wins. Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy said that the Pistons last performance was 'embarrassing and humiliating as they shot 30% and committed 17 turnovers in losing to the 76ers. Even though they are 0-3 since losing guard Brandon Jennings I expect Detroit to rebound (excuse the pun) here. Take the PISTONS! |

01-30-15 | Chicago Bulls +6 v. Phoenix Suns | 93-99 | Push | 0 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Chicago at Phoenix 10:30 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- The way this game sets up it appears that the Suns have a major advantage as they are on the final game of an eight-game home stand where they are 5-2. The Chicago Bulls meanwhile are off their second straight overtime encounter as they were beaten in double-overtime last night in Los Angeles by the lowly Lakers. But, remember tings are not always as they appear as Chicago has won and 'covered' the last five meetings against the Suns in Phoenix and have won nine of the last 11 meetings straight-up. Amazingly the Bulls have been much better on the road (17-7) and will pull together tonight. Take CHICAGO! |

01-30-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Utah Jazz +10 | Top | 100-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
Golden State at Utah 9:05 ET Jazz (+) over Warriors- Believe me I know how good the Golden State Warriors have been as they may have the best shooting back-court in NBA history with my favorite deadeye in Steve Curry and Klay Thompson who has had 3-straight 30-point scoring nights. The Jazz will have to win the battle on the boards to have a chance here and hope that being away from home where the Warriors are 21-2 will diminish their 3-point effectiveness. After having their 'karma' broken I expect Golden State to come out a little flat. Take UTAH! |

01-30-15 | Minnesota Timberwolves v. Philadelphia 76ers +3.5 | 94-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Timberwolves- I'm not totally sure about this but is this the first time this season that the 76ers get to play a team with less wins (8) then they have (9). Because both these clubs have been at the bottom of the NBA heap it seems a bit odd that they both enter this contest off a win. The return of Steven Martin certainly aids the Timberwolves who are 4-6 with him in the line-up and 4-31 without him. Minnesota is also 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine visits to Philadelphia but that was with Kevin Love and now he's gone. The 76ers are young and spirited and are still playing hard every night. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Milwaukee at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Bucks- It's hard to understand how and why the Bucks have lost 17 straight to the Magic in Orlando but they have and the Magic are glad to see them here as they are 5-15 straight-up at home this season. Milwaukee under Jason Kidd are now over .500 while Orlando has lost six straight and 12 of 14 but have won 11 of the last 15 meetings with the Bucks overall. The Magic are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and will regain some confidence tonight. Take ORLANDO! |

L.A. Clippers at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles who have won 12 straight against the Jazz brings a five-game winning streak into Utah where they have won four of the last five meetings. Utah lost to the Celtics on Monday and have lost six of their last nine. The Clippers are just 8-10 Ats on the road and there is plenty of room for the home team to 'cove.' as they are just 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 meetings in Salt Lake. Take UTAH! |
