Memphis at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- Cleveland may be one of the bottom-feeders in NBA action but they have been able to give Memphis fits in recent years. Last night the Grizzlies set an NBA modern shot-clock record with only one attempted free throw in their 79-76 win over Atlanta as they have won 12 of their last 15. The lowly Cavaliers just broke a six-game losing streak with a win over Washington on Friday. The oddity surrounding this contest is that Cleveland is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last five games in Cleveland. With this 'number' being so low the odds-makers believe the Cavs who are at .500 ATS at home have a shot. Take CLEVELAND!

Sacramento at Washington 6:00 ET Kings (+) over Wizards- The Wizards have fought for weeks to get to the .500 mark and once they reached it they have had a letdown and now lost their last two. The Kings who won their last two at home started their road trip with a loss at Boston but are encouraged by having won the last three in the series including the last two in Washington. Get this the Wizards are 0-8 ATS in their last eight home games against a team with a losing record. That's it! Take SACRAMENTO!

Golden State at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (-) over Warriors- These two clubs have virtually the same record and although many expected this from Golden State the Suns are a major surprise. Phoenix has dropped their last two contest to fall a half-game behind the Warriors but have dominated the scoreboard against the points. The Suns are 32-16-1 ATS an unheard of 67% winning pace while the Warriors are four games under .500 ATS. Even though the Warriors have are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings the Suns are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings in Phoenix. State is banged-up inside with injuries to David Lee and Andrew Bogut and they are up against a team that is in the top-10 in scoring and field goal percentage. Take PHOENIX!

Toronto at L.A.

Both these clubs have played well on Friday's with the Raptors posting a 7-0 record and the Clippers 6-0 so sometime will have to give tonight. Toronto has won 12 of the last 17 meetings including a 126-118 home win two weeks ago. I look for the surprising Raptors to force this one down to the final buzzer. Take TORONTO!

The Pistons and Nets have met twice already this season with Detroit winning both contests scoring 106 points per contest. Brooklyn might appear to have an advantage as they have revenge off their two losses and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five meeting in Detroit and they are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games but that all ends tonight.

Los Angels is returning home to play Miami in the first of a five-game home stand after having played their last nine of 11 on the road. Meanwhile the Heat are starting an extensive six game road trip that keeps them out of Miami until February 23. This trip for Miami reveals that they have not defeated the Clippers in Los Angeles since LeBron James joined the club three years ago as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five in LA. The Clips are 12-5 straight-up since Chris Paul went down and the win here tonight. Take the CLIPPERS!

San Antonio at Washington Wizards (+) over Spurs- The Washington Wizards are brimming with confidence after finally getting over that invisible hump and are one game over .500 for the first time in over four years. They will need that and a lot more as they have lost 15 straight contests against the Spurs including losing their last eight against them at home. The question here is, 'do the Wizards suffer a letdown' after reaching this minor mild stone. If you like Washington as I do the trends are a little disturbing. San Antonio is 19-6-2 in the last 27 meetings and they are 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings in Washington. But, the Wizards are 4-0 ATS in their last four and add that the Spurs are 1-8 ATS in their last nine games following a straight-up win. Take WASHINGTON.

Toronto at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Raptors- One thing that I noticed that is difficult to process is that the Raptors actually have a better road road then the Jazz have at home Toronto is 13-12 straight-up on the road and a stellar 18-7 ATS while Utah who usually posts a strong home court advantage is just 10-13 straight-up. But, there are a pair of trends that can't be denied. Not only are the Raptors 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Utah they are 3-13 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall. The Jazz also have incentive to avenge a 115-91 loss at Toronto back in November. Take UTAH!
