01-01-23 | Kings +4.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
Sacramento and Memphis 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Grizzlies- I can’t remember that last time that the Kings were on top of the Pacific Division and at 19-15 there they are ahead of the LA Clippers. For years all Sacramento was a playoff outcast but with the addition of Domantas Sabonis who is described as a walking double-double they are an up and coming team that will have to be dealt with. Memphis who trails the Pelicans by a half-game still have not played at the level expected and Ja Morant at times has been spectacular and other times not so much. The Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and they are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 rod games. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Brooklyn at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- Brooklyn has started to play the way many expected earlier in the season as they are currently on a 10-game winning streak and are just two games behind the division leading Celtics. Charlotte on the other hand has lost five straight at home but are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. The nets are the No. 1 shooting team in the NBA hitting over 50%. The Hornets were the Nets first victim starting their 10-game streak and they will end it here tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

12-30-22 | Jazz +3.5 v. Kings | 125-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Utah at Sacramento 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Kings- The Kings scored 127 in their victory over the Nuggets Friday night but the unusual thing about them scoring so high and they had only three players score in double figures with each of the three scoring over 30 points. It was a great day for Sacramento but teams must have better balance to survive in the long run. Utah fell to Golden State last time out blowing a double-digit lead scoring just 13 points in the final period. The Jazz are 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings including 4-0 ATS at Sacramento. Take UTAH! |

12-30-22 | Heat +4.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 119-124 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
Miami at Denver 9:00 ET Heat (+) over Nuggets- Ya know we should really give this Erik Spoelstra credit as every season I expect them to waver but they always end up being very competitive. After a slow start Miami has risen above the .500 mark by winning six of their last eight. The constant thing the he gets out of his players is their commitment to playing defense which once again is top ranked at No. 4 allowing just 108.9 PPG and they make their free throws at 82.2%. Take MIAMI! |

12-30-22 | Wolves +6.5 v. Bucks | 114-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Milwaukee 8;00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Bucks- Ya know a the end of last season I was looking forward to Minnesota being a legitimate threat and viable competitor for the playoffs. When they made certain off season moves I was sure that they had improved their lot. But, getting good players doesn’t always mean wins. The Bucks like the T’ wolves have lost their last four games even with Rudy Gobert who is picking up the slack left with Towns out with injury. Take MINNESOTA! |

New York at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Knicks- Tent days ago the Knicks were riding an eight game winning streak and then the holidays happened and so have four straight losses. San Antonio hasn’t had much to brag about either having lost 5-of-7 and are already out of the playoff picture at 11-23. Things are so bad on the court for the Spurs that HOF coach Gregg Popovich is getting ejected earlier and earlier and last time out got the thumb one minute into the second quarter.The Knicks blew a 9-point lead to Dallas in the final 33 seconds and are still in shock.Spurs take advantage. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

LA Clippers at Boston 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over Celtics- Who wants to play against these Celtics...not many people and for good reason, the combination of Brown and Tatum is the most dynamic duo the the NBA. Boston is completing a seven game home stand and they have won the last three after falling in the first three while LA is playing the fourth of a five game road trip. Celts No. 1 offense will be up against the NBA’s No. 3 defense and the Clippers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Boston. Take the LA CLIPPERS! |

Memphis at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Grizzlies- I know that I am always looking for an opportunity to root Ja Morant on but I know that I fade the Grizzlies more than I back them. Both Toronto and Memphis are off losses and are struggling of late with the Raptors having lost 7-of-9 SU and the Grizzlies have dropped their last two and 4-of-5. Toronto has lost four straight at home but Memphis is just 4-13 ATS on the road. Add that the Raptors are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take TORONTO! |

Atlanta at Indiana 8:00 ET Hawks over Pacers- The question here is will these clubs continue on their current trends. Indiana lost to New Orleans last night as they scored just 38 points at the half and were never in it. For Atlanta they caught fire in the second half against Detroit Friday and scored 70 points in their 25 point win. This is the first of three meetings this season sn the Hawks swept all four games last season and they are 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to Indiana. Take ATLANTA! |

Philadelphia at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over 76ers- Currently the hottest team in the NBA Philadelphia has won eight straight and are 7-1 ATS since their OT loss to Houston back on December 5. The 76ers have been doing this without one of their more impact players in Tyrese Maxey who returns to action tonight. These two have already split two games this season each winning on the others home floor. The Sixers have done it with defense which is second allowing 107.7 and they won seven of those games at home. on the road they are a different team as they are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 road games. Take WASHINGTON! |

The Hornets will be without Miles Bridges who is suspended for domestic violence charge but will have LaMelo Ball healthy and a hot Gordon Hayward. Hornets are 9-4-1 ATS on the road against winning teams and 25-12-2 ATS in their last 39 road games overall. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Utah at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Jazz- Gone of late is talk of Gregg Popovich and his greatness as a coach as San Antonio has become an also-ran and much of the time they are not even competitive. Yet, over the years the Spurs have had their way against the Jazz going 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Utah’s Colin Sexton has returned to action but is playing time is still reduced. Look for the Spurs to come with a huge effort after a 20-point loss at Orlando. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Minnesota at Miami 7:30 ET Timberwolves (-) over Heat- The Heat have fallen below the break even mark by dropping their last two games at home with Jimmy Butler ailing. Miami is 5-7 without Butler and just don’t play at the high level of more recent seasons. The T-wolves are a weak rebounding team and Miami is even worse but they can shoot the ball ranking third at 49% from the floor while the Heat are second to last in scoring only ahead of the Clippers. The Heat are just 3-13-1 ATS at home while Wolves are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

Milwaukee at Boston 3:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bucks- Despite a mini slump where they just lost three straight and five of six everyone in the know seems to think that Boston is the team to beat this year and by the looks of this line I believe the odds-maker thinks so too. Milwaukee has dropped their last two games and this is their four straight on the road while Boston has been home since Dec. 16 and this will be their fifth straight at home. The Celtics just have so much fire power with Brown and Tatum leading the charge and balancing the ‘Greek Freak.’ Take BOSTON! |

Philadelphia at New York 12:00 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- The moment I saw this match-up (they have had lines up for these games since opening night tip-off) i though this is trouble. The NBA starts the days with Joel Embiid playing in his first Christmas Day games and vowing to display his talents before ‘the world’ on it’s biggest stage. The Knicks were just had an eight-game winning streak stopped at home by the Raptors followed by another to the Bulls. The 76ers enter this fray winning their last seven (6-1 ATS) with Joel on a mission. The line seems short and looks too inviting and this is nit a Christmas gift. Take NEW YORK! |

Charlotte at LA Lakers 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Lakers- Both of these clubs are absolutely dreadful as the impostor Lakers are like a walking MASH unite and Charlotte is just not very good to start with. The Hornets have dropped 9-of-10 and trailed the Clippers by 36 points before the first half ended. Lebron James at 40 years old is still putting up All-Star numbers with 27.1 ppg, 8.4 rebounds and 7.6 assists, his number are balanced with the return of LaMelo Ball is off his first Triple-Double of the season with 25 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds. Lakers 2-6-1 ATS last nine without Davis who was second in NBA rebounding. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Toronto at Cleveland 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Cavaliers- It seems that we will need a reversal of fortune to win this match-up as the Cavaliers have the best home record in the NBA going 16-2 straight-up 13-4-1 ATS while Toronto is just 4-12 SU but 7-9 ATS. I really like this Cleveland squad but the Raptors who just ended a 6-game losing streak by defeating the Knicks and stopping their winning streak at eight. Now, they can stop the Cavs who have five straight wins and are 2-5 ATS after a win. Take TORONTO. |

LA Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over 76ers- Tonight finishes a 14 day seven game home stand for Philadelphia and they have won all six covering five time. The started against the Lakers and will end it against the Clippers tonight. LA has won their last two as they are starting to get healthy and have played tough through their adversary. Joel Embiid leads the NBA in scoring and appears to be on that MVP mission and stated that he’s finally apply to see that the 76ers will be playing on Christmas day so he can showcase his talents to the world. But, that is Sunday...take LA CLIPPERS! |

San Antonio at New Orleans 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Pelicans- Things are taking a down turn of late for the Pelicans as they have lost their last four and will be without Zion Williamson tonight.

Toronto at New York 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Knicks- So here we have the hottest team in the NBA the New York Knicks who have won eight straight at home against the raptors who have lost six in-a-row.

12-17-22 | Jazz +4 v. Bucks | Top | 97-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- I don’t know about these Bucks as this line just doesn’t seem right to me. Memphis is supposed to be one of the stiffer competitors and the Bucks who trailed by 15-points after the first quarter out-scored the Grizzlies by 56 points the final three quarters. I don’t think they’ll do it in back-to-back games and will put my trust in the Jazz who have won their last two games over New Orleans and overcame a 15-point deficit themselves. The Jazz are 30-9 ATS in the last 39 meetings and 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to the Brew City. Take UTAH! |

Denver at LA Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- The Lakers are on the upswing as they are 9-6 SU in their last 15 games after starting 2-10. Part of the solution for winning for Los Angeles had been the return of a healthy Anthony Davis who bricked a pair of Free-throws in the clutch against Boston which kept the Lakers fro winning in regulation. Denver has been the best of late and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 9-20 ATS after a SU win and are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Los Angeles. Take the LAKERS! |

Atlanta at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Hawks- Both of these clubs have seen better days and have been very disappointing for their backers to date. Charlotte who is expecting the return of Gordon Hayward (Isn’t he always returning from some aliment) have dropped six straight games and the Hawks have been just one-game better in their last six contests going 1-5 SU. But more importantly for the Hornets LaMelo Ball returned to action Wednesday and had 23 points and 11 assists in their loss at Detroit. The Hornets have had their way with Atlanta winning going 10-4-1 ATS as hosts in their series and get it done tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |

New Orleans at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz ( ) over Pelicans- In what was a rare thing in NBA scheduling the current wave is for many teams to play a pair of games at the same site to reduce travel. So, it was just Tuesday that Utah ended the Pelicans 7-game win streak with a resounding 121-100 victory as they held New Orleans to their second lowest scoring game of the season. Can the Pelicans make the adjustments needed to split the 2-game set. They are a stellar 12-3 at home but just 6-6 on the road and 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams that have a winning home record. The Jazz are 15-5 SU at home and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings as hosts. Take UTAH! |

Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Kings (+) over 76ers- It might be surprising to you because it was to me when I realized it but Sacramento has a better record than the Sixers. Be it just one game but it sort of caught my attention. Now, Philly is coming off an epic performance by Joel Embiid (53-points) who is still on a mission to prove he’s the league’s best and a huge win on Sunday, while the Kings were blown out in New York. Okay, here’s some supporting info, Kings are 15-5 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more as well a 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 road games. Although Philly holds a big series edge the Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five game in Philadelphia. Take SACRAMENTO! |

But, like so many clubs that go west they experience what I say is a Bang-Bang Theory, that is when they get beat in back-to-back games. LA has been hurt by injuries and only had Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the seventh time on Saturday. In a tight one the Clippers get it dome. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

Boston at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- Toronto has gone back to the NBA days when home teams had a major advantage and on the road not so much. The Raptors are a stellar 9-2 SU at home while struggling with a 3-9 record on the road. Boston the leagues highest scoring team has no such troubles as they win everywhere...well, almost.

Denver at New Orleans 3:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Pelicans- Now, here’s a good one...New Orleans is the division leader in the Southwest and it has surely been the impact of Zion Williamson that has made the difference in this years club. The Pelicans have won eight of their last 10 and the last three were without leading scorer Brandon Ingram and he is day-to-day. Nuggets had won four straight before a Friday defeat at Atlanta and will rebound here wit the line being to clue. Take DENVER! |

Portland at Utah 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Jazz- After a quite start to the season Portland has dropped three straight and 7-of-8 and their swoon can be attributed to Damian Lillard’s absence as he has missed the last six games and will also be out tonight. Utah has won their last two games after losing five straight. Blazers 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and get the money here. Take PORTLAND! |

12-02-22 | Heat +7.5 v. Celtics | 120-116 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Miami at Boston 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Boston is the marvel of the league of late scoring 140 points game after game including a trouncing of this same Miami team two days ago as they average a league high 122 PPG. The only way the Heat can cool off the Celtics is to do what they do best and are known for and that is defense. Currently the are ranked No. 8 on D but they have been short-handed with their best stopper on the sideline as Jimmy Butler gamely puts out a professional effort. The Heat are 4-0-1 ATS after allowing 100 points in their previous game and they are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games in Boston. Take MIAMI! |

Toronto at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Nets- Brooklyn has finally gotten over the .500 mark for the first time this season and are still led by the NBA’s new game iron man Kevin Durant who not only has scored an average of 38.7 PPG in his last four contests but he also leads the NBA in minutes played per game. But, the Nets drama continues as off-court antics are just a side show circus. Toronto on the other side of the coin nee to win to stay about .500 and they will. Take TORONTO! |

Chicago at Phoenix 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- Phoenix is looking unstoppable of late having won their last six and that is without Chris Paul. The Suns will wait until the games become important and then be sure to install Paul into the lineup to insure another payoff failure. Devi Booker is picking up the slack scoring 44 points against the Kings Monday night. The Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 trips to Phoenix and the Suns are 2-6 ATS after a SU win. Take CHICAGO! |

Toronto at New Orleans 8:00 ET Raptors over Pelicans- I can’t believe how these lines on the Pelicans games can fluctuate from one game to the next. I understand that if Zion Williamson is playing or not their should and will be differences. But, with a consistent line-up it changes dramatically daily. Another factor is that New Orleans has had to play extended period of time without Brandon Ingram while Pascal Siaham has returned to play for the Raptors and believe me he makes a difference.Take TORONTO! |

Milwaukee at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- New York is brimming with confidence as they are off their highest scoring win this season putting up 140 in Detroit against the hapless Pistons. Milwaukee goes as Giannis goes because he is totally unstoppable when he’s right and he is right most of the time. The Bucks are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings an 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to the Garden. The Knicks confident off last night’s win are 18-5 ATS in the second of back-to-back contests.

LA Clippers at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Clippers- We would love this game to include some shooting stars but it’s more like a bunch of burnt up black holes as dimming stars Kawaii Leonard, Paul George are lame for the Clippers and the Trailblazers have been struggling with Damian Lillard sidelined as Portland has lost five of six. The Clips have won nine of the last 10 meetings and are 8-2 ATS but the Blazers are 4-0 ATS after a 10-point loss. Take PORTLAND! |

The Warriors have finally put in together on the road (2-9) and have won three straight and five of six while the Mavericks have dropped their last four and are an amazing 1-13-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Mavericks 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings as hosts. In a rebound and much needed situation the Mav’s respond. take DALLAS! |

New York at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Knicks- This is the third time these clubs will meet this season with New York posting a pair of wins and covers. These two do had one thing in common and that is their rankings on offense and defense as the Knicks are ranked No 26 on defense and Detroit is ranked No. 26 on offense. The Men of Gotham are 16-6 ATS on the road but get this 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with straight up losing records. The Pistons are picking up the pace and are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games overall. take DETROIT! |

Chicago at Utah 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- Okay, here we go, Utah who at this early stage of the season are 4-games up on Chicago and are 6-2 at home. The Bulls who are 3-6 on the road seem and are a very short underdog and are only 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Jazz have dropped their last four SU but got the money last time out as our Megabucks winner bowing to Phoenix 112-111 plus 6.5-points. Utah on a slide and the price shows it. Take CHICAGO! |

Golden State at Minnesota 3:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Warriors- This year’s version of the Warriors reminds me of let’s say the West Virginia football which is notorious for losing on the road where Golden State is 1-9 while they are 9-1 at home. Last season the Wolves lost to State by an average of 17 points in two games in California and they won both home games by an average of 11 points. GS is 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Minny and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 road games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

Utah at Phoenix 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Suns- I guess three is the optimum number as the Suns who are 10-1 SU at home and a fine 8-3 ATS have won their last three while Utah is 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games entering this contest. These two are with different styles as the Jazz will score on you averaging 117.4 PPG ranked No. 3 while Phoenix will shut you down defensively ranking No. 5 allowing just 107.4. Utah is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with winning records. The Suns who have won 3-in-a-row are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

Sacramento at Boston 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Celtics- The Kings opened the season with four straight losses and have been on a tear ever since and even the bookies haven’t caught up with them as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine and have been ‘money’ on the road going 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 away from home. Boston may end up in the Eastern Finals and are No. 2 on offense averaging 119.7 PPG but, guess who is No. 1 in NBA scoring, why it is the Kings at 120.0. Kings 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

LA Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Lakers (-) over Spurs- I know, I know. I know...but my I must play teams when things just don’t look right and you tell me if this does. Los Angeles is not only 5-11 SU but ATS as well and generally have not been very competitive with or without James or Davis. But, oh my, they are favored here on the road against a team with a better record that is sinking faster than the Yankees in the playoffs. Upon review we see the Spurs have lost six straight and 9-of-10 with the lone victory a 111-93 win over Milwaukee (Go figure!). San Antonio is at the bottom end of all defensive categories, enough that even the Lakers can beat them. Take LA LAKERS! |

Washington at Miami 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Heat- There is something going on with the Heat that I’m not quite sure what it is but there are issues that the coaching and players must work out. Miami returns home after dropped four straight on the road falling o 1-7 away from South Beach. Jimmy Butler is in and out of the line-up and the Wizards will most likely be with leading scorer Bradley Beal. The Wiz are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Miami while the Heat are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Take WASHINGTON! |

LA Lakers at Phoenix 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Suns- I was wondering just how long it would be until the Lakers started playing professional basketball and it looks to me that they have. They return of Anthony Davis has had a huge impact especially since he has become more aggressive offensively scoring 37, 38 and 30 points in his last three outings. Russell Westbrook is dealing with a bad thumb and his playing time should be limited which increases the Lakers chance winning. Take LA LAKERS! |

Detroit at Denver 9:30 ET Pistons (+) over Nuggets- On Friday Denver was without three starters and were crushed by Megabucks winner Dallas 127-99 but managed to upset the Mavericks 98-97 on Sunday. But, they are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight-up win. Now, they return home and with Nikola Jokie still out the Nuggets will be hard pressed to cover against the Pistons who have dropped seven in-a-row. Nuggets fall short here. Take DETROIT! |

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Nets (-) over 76ers- So, here we go with the daily drama that is the 76ers. Joel Embiid will be out for the next two games joining James Harden and Tyrese Maxey out with minor injuries. And of course the return of Ben Simmons to Philadelphia for the first time since his mental issues began. Kyrie Irving of course will attract more attention to this NBA circus. The Nets are starting play beyond the noise and have are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in last five home games but just 2-7 ATS when hosting a team with a losing record. Take BROOKLYN! |

New York at Oklahoma City 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Thunder- Knicks 17-5 ATS in second game of last 22 back-to-backs, 1-7 ATS in last eight visits and they were favorites and now they are underdogs. New York has dropped the last three meetings straight-up and look to reverse that trend with a 3-guard offense that is struggling because of poor shooting by No.1 draft pick PJ Barrett who’s throwing it up at a 26.5 from the floor and only 8% (2 of 25) from 3-point range. The Thunder will be a bit short-handed as four players are to be sidelined. Take NEW YORK! |

Atlanta at Cleveland 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- Oh yeah, perfect spot for turn around upset. Cleveland as our Megabucks release Sunday rand they responded by blowing out the Heat 113-87 and now host the high flying Hawks. It would be a long shot that the Cavaliers can repeat that type of performance. If trends are any sign the home team and series record would have us on the Cavs, but not us! We smell a rat here or at least something not so good. Take ATLANTA! |

Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Heat- Fresh off their five game losing streak Cleveland hosts Miami who is on a two-side of their own. The Heat have taken to the road and have been downed at Toronto and Washington. They are having difficulties keeping talent on the court as Butler and Adebayo are plagued with injuries. The Heat are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and the Cavaliers are 8-1 after a SU win. Take CLEVELAND! |

Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Timberwolves over 76ers- The 76ers have won three straight and four of five with Joel Embiid leading in the most dominate fashion possible. Minnesota who dropped six of seven previous games have won their last two with the team posted season highs in points scored. Embiid will most likely sit out the second of back-to-back contests. Tyrese Maxey went down in Friday’s win over the Bucks and without Embiid the Sixers fall short. Take MINNESOTA! |

11-18-22 | Celtics v. Pelicans +2.5 | 117-109 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Boston at New Orleans 8:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Celtics- Winning streaks clash here as the Celtics have reeled off eight straight wins while New Orleans has won their last three. Boston was able to cruise past Atlanta Wednesday with a pair of starters in Brogdon and Smart sidelined. With those two sidelined and the Pelicans with a healthy Zion Williamson I expect New Orleans who is 12-5 ATS at home on Friday nights to take advantage. Play NEW ORLEANS! |

Denver at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (-) over Nuggets- Both of these clubs have superstars that are the focal point of each squad and the Nuggets will be without their start tonight as 2-time MVP Nikola Jokic will be sidelined will be Aaron Gordon. Luka Doncic is the Mavericks main clog as he averages 34.4 PPG, 8.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.1 steals and he was not in the line-up last time out a home loss to Houston. Back in the lineup he will be the difference with Jokic out. Take DALLAS! |

Houston may only be 3-12 straight-up but this young group is spirited and 8-7 ATS. The Rockets are off an upset win over Dallas and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five after a SU win and they are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pacers. Take HOUSTON! |

San Antonio at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (-) over Spurs- I can’t remember the last time I saw the Kings this strong a favorite but their 10-3 overall ATS record shows that the bookmaker is trying to catch-up. After a quick 5-2 start San Antonio has tanked winning just once of their last eight and that’s when they routed the Bucks 111-93. After an 0-4 start Sacramento has won 7-of-9 (8-1 ATS) with the losses coming at Golden State and at Miami. It’s the Kings offense that has been impressive as they are scoring 119.5 a game and shooting 49.3 from downtown both are good for 2nd in the league. The Spurs are dead last in points allowed surrendering 119.5 each time out and are dead last in both 3-point and field goal percentage allowed. They just don’t play defense. Kings are 9-4 ATS last 13 meetings overall and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Brooklyn at Portland 10:00 ET Nets over Trailblazers- The drama continues and Days of Our Lives couldn’t write it any better. Every day the drama as to whether the world is flat or who’s got a secret media account or who is coaching today continues...this is getting silly as Brooklyn surrendered 153 points to Sacramento Tuesday and oh yes they lost 153-121. The Nets and the rest of the league (players) are getting anxious as to when their favor bigot will return to action, but it will not be tonight. Portland is off to a great start at 10-4 SU and are the surprise in the west but unfortunately for them it’s the Nets night out, sorry boys but the Blazers will be doused tonight. I know the Nets stink and don’t really care or give great effort all the time but Brooklyn is 9-3 ATS after allowing 125 points or more the previous game (otherwise they stink). As good as the Blazers are they are just 4-9 ATS against teams with losing records and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five hosting the Nets! Take BROOKLYN! |

New York at Denver 10:00 ET Knicks (+) over Nuggets- In his first season as Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau emphasized defense and New York had their first winning season for just the second time a decade. But, it appears that he has made an NBA adjustment and now has his focus on outscoring their opponent. So, after surrendering 145 points in a home loss to Oklahoma City they have gone back to basics. Denver averages 117.1 PPG but will be without MVP Nikola Jokic and that will hurt the Nuggets chances. Knicks are now14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games and the Nuggets are 5-16 ATS after a SU win. Take NEW YORK! |

The Cavaliers played Sunday without Mitchell, Allen and Wade but it’s even worse for the Bucks who have six players in and out because of injuries. The Cav’s are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and are 5-0 ATS against teams winning more than 60%. Take CLEVELAND! |

I don’t think coach Tom Thibodeu was very pleased with the Knicks defense as they once prided themselves at that end of the floor. The numbers stack up behind the Knicks as they are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games and NY is 25-9 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Add that the Jazz are 8-21-2 ATS following a straight-up loss.

Milwaukee is dealing with a rash of injuries that have sidelined six different players at one time or another. This is the third meeting already this season between these two and they split each winning and covering at home and they will meet a final time in early January.

Brooklyn at LA Lakers 9:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nets- Very often especially in sport ‘less is more’ as is the case with the Nets. Brooklyn is now 4-1 since Kyrie Irving was suspended and admit that they are now playing as a team. A team that is sure to walk off the edge of the flat Earth. The Lakers have dropped five straight as they started the season before they finally won so their number is about right for a turnaround. LA most likely without Lebron and maybe once against less is more. Brooklyn is 3-9-2 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and 11-29-1 ATS after SU win. The Lakers are just terrible but are the side tonight. Take LA LAKERS! |

Utah at Washington 6:00 ET Wizards (+) over Jazz- The Wizards were a Money Game winner for us Friday night and as they defeated Dallas with a pair of starters sidelined. Bradley Beal will remain on the protocol list and not play tonight but Porzingis should return despite a groin strain. Utah despite the loss of Donovan Mitchell have won four straight and have covered seven straight while being favored just once over the Lakers and lead the West.

After an opening night loss at Toronto and then went out and won eight straight (all covers) before blowing a 13-point with 2:38 remaining at Sacramento Monday night.

LA Lakers at LA Clippers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Clippers- This is getting sad, I feel like I’m watching Mickey and Willie at the end of their careers and yet I can still see flashes of brilliance out of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. That is what I am expecting to happen tonight. The biggest part of the Lakers problem aside from the fact that they can’t shoot worth a damn (especially from 3-point range) is their total lack of depth even with Westbrook coming off the bench. Lake show opened with five straight posses posted a pair of wins and have now dropped three straight and are 2-8 ATS this season.

Brooklyn meanwhile, is one of the worse teams at defending the 3-point shot. With or without Harden, Irving and even Durant the Nets have won 12-of the Last 15 meetings including the last seven. Despite all that the Knicks are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings and 29-8-1 ATS in the last 29 in Brooklyn. Take NEW YORK |

11-07-22 | Cavs -4 v. Clippers | 117-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Cleveland at LA Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (+) over Cavaliers- Since dropping their opening game 108-105 at Toronto the Cavaliers have reeled off nine straight wins and covers as their off season addition of Donovan Mitchell is paying dividends. Cleveland is playing their three straight on the road as part of six of seven on the trail. With Kawhi Leonard having missed the last seven games Paul George has picked up the slack averaging 32.3 points. Cavs are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings including just 1-5 ATS in LA. Take the CLIPPERS! |

11-07-22 | Bucks v. Hawks +4.5 | 98-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Atlanta 8:15 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee is still unbeaten at 9-0 and if Giannis comes to play every night they just might not lose at all (get real...). This is the second meeting already this season and of course the Bucks won 123-115 in Milwaukee 10 days ago as Antetokounmpo racked up 34 points. Scoring machine Trae Young recorded 42 points in that one and I expect more of the same in Atlanta where the Bucks dropped both meetings last year. Hawks are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 home games against teams with winning records. Take ATLANTA! |

11-07-22 | Suns v. 76ers +2.5 | Top | 88-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
Phoenix at Philadelphia 8:10 ET 76ers (+) over Suns- It might seem improbable but the 76ers usually provide more drama than talent. Philadelphia’s biggest talent Joel Embiid will return after missing the last three games due to a non-Covid illness but the real drama has James Harden sidelined for a month because of a strained foot. I understand that sometimes less is actually more as with Harden out Tobias Harris and Tyrese Maxey will see more playing time and together will be more efficient than Harden. Suns are 1-4 ATS on the road and the Sixers are the same at home. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Chicago at Toronto 6:00 ET Bulls (+) over Raptors- DeMar DeRozen who played nine years in Toronto and was traded for Khawi Leonard before the 2017-18 season to San Antonio where he played for three years before this two year tenure in Chicago. He has averaged 23.8 points against Toronto in 10 meetings. The Bulls are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 games versus the Raptors including 12-3 ATS in Toronto. Take CHICAGO! |

Boston at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Celtics- This is Tom Thibodeau’s third season with the Knicks and they have had a team that always seems like they are in some sort of transition. Their style of play has varied since his taking the coach job and they have improved by leaps and bounds. This year’s clubs seems the most balanced that he has had to work with and now they have shown some talent. Boston who is 1-5 ATS in their last six road games is also 1-5 ATS after a SU win. Knicks are young and 16-6 ATS in the second of back-to-back games. Take NEW YORK! |

Milwaukee at Minnesota 10:00 ET Timberwolves (+)over Bucks- There is no question who the most dominant player in the NBA game today is and Giannis seems driven to prove it every night. Undefeated Milwaukee (7-0) led by Antetokounmpo who averages 33.6 points, 12.7 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.7 blocks and 1.1 steals per game on 57% shooting. (WOW...really) The Wolves made some huge off-season moves and they are still waiting to gel and tonight could be the start. Take MINNESOTA! |

Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bulls- Chicago has won their last two games and defense was the difference as they held the Nets to 99 points and the Hornets to 88 after allowing 113.1 on the season. Boston has dropped 3-of-4 including a pair of overtime losses to Cleveland and lost at Chicago 10 days ago. The Celtics are 10-3 ATS after a SU loss and rebound here. Take BOSTON! |

New York at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Knicks (+) over 76ers- The Philadelphia squad is another NBA drama queen club with Harden, Embiid and their off-court issues causing a stir, although they are nowhere near as ego driven as Brooklyn. The Knicks blew a 23-point lead at home to Atlanta a team that they blew a 26-point home court lead to last year. They have lost their last three and failed to cover any of their last four games but are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games while the 76ers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take NEW YORK! |

New Orleans at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Pelicans- Break-up the Lakers...the once proud franchise posted their first win of the season and now stand at 1-5. But, hey getting their first victory wasn’t the most important thing, that is that they finally covered a spread (Yea!). This may be the unveiling of the young against the aging as the upstart Pelicans bring the future while the crumbing Lakers fall apart with seniors Davis, Lebron and Westbrook. Although New Orleans is 17-8 ATS in their last 25 road games and 4-1 ATS in last five against LA the vets will suck it up to save embarrassment. Take the LAKERS! |

11-02-22 | Raptors -7.5 v. Spurs | Top | 143-100 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
Toronto at San Antonio 8:00 ET Raptors (-) over Spurs- I sort of did a double-take at this game when I first saw the opening line as the Raptors (4-3) who are 1-2 on the road were a strong favorite at San Antonio (5-2) where the Spurs are 3-1. The Spurs have won five of their past six games and the first two of their home stand but they will be playing short handed as no less than four players will be unavailable. Raptors are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings although the Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games...so why the heavy line? Take TORONTO! |

11-02-22 | Celtics v. Cavs UNDER 220.5 | 113-114 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Boston at Cleveland 7:30 ET Celtics/Cavaliers (Under)- This is the second meeting of the season between these two as the Cavaliers handed the Celtics their first loss of the year 132-123 in overtime last Friday in Boston. I expect this meeting with take a different tract and I look for it to play out as their previous four meetings had gone Under the total. Boston is under 4-1 on the road and plays tight defense here. Play UNDER! |

Minnesota at Phoenix 9:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Suns- The aging Suns will be without center Deandre Ayton once again tonight and that should boost the Wolves who have lost seven of eight to the Suns including all three meeting last season. Timberwolves are one of the most improved teams in the league over the past two seasons and look to move on during the playoffs. This match will help them measure just how far they have come. Take MINNESOTA! |

Philadelphia at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over 76ers- Philly is always looking for an opportunity to take a day off and with the likelihood that Joel Embiid will ‘rest’ this on out. Washington has dropped two straight after a quick start and are now even at 3-3. The Wizards have a few fresh faces including Kristaps Porzingis who has been a disappointment where ever he has been. James Harden will dominate the ball and get some great stats while Embiid is sidelined and that just enough to get you beat...take WASHINGTON! |

New York at Cleveland 6:00 ET Knicks (+) over Cavaliers- During the off-season the Knicks were trying desperately to acquire Donovan Mitchell who is bow averaging 31 points a game for Cleveland. New York ended their search for help by signing Jalen Brunson from Dallas and he has had a positive impact averaging 18.6 points and playing solid defense. The Knicks are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 road games and are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings in Cleveland. Take NEW YORK! |

Philadelphia at Chicago 8:10 ET Bulls over 76ers- Was it Joel Embiid or was it James Harden? No, it was Tyrese Maxey who scored a season high 44 points last night in the 76ers win over Toronto. Chicago is coming off a loss at San Antonio last night when Zach LaVine sat out for rest management (HA imagine that, five games into the season). Philly has won 11 straight meetings including five in-a-row in Chicago. Not, this time. Take CHICAGO! |

10-29-22 | Pacers v. Nets -10 | 125-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Indiana at Brooklyn 7:40 ET Nets (-) over Pacers- There was a time in New York sports where their were cries from the rest of the league to ‘break-up’ that dominating squad. Well, Brooklyn seemed like they could have been like those great clubs of the past with Harden, Durant and Irving. The Nets have become a standing joke with all the drama they create for them selves as their egos are biggest than their desire to win. But, the odds maker believe i them tonight, okay so will I. Take BROOKLYN. |

Miami at Sacramento 6:10 ET Kings (+) over Heat- The Kings who have not the NBA Playoffs in 17 years are also waiting fir their first win of the season before they are ostracized into the WNBA. Sacramento has four of its first first five game at home while Miami is on the road for the third time in four night. De’Andre Fox has become a force for the Kings he just needs a little help which he should get tonight against a team struggling with continuity. Take SACRAMENTO! |
