TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Washington Wizards are 16-13 to the over on the season and the Denver Nuggets have a 21-10 over/under record. The Nuggets average 115.4 ppg (5th) while Washington has one of the worst scoring defenses in the league, allowing 119.9 ppg. Last time out, the Wizards took a 135-116 Los at LA Clippers. Over is 9-1-1 in Nuggets last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 18-6 in Nuggets last 24 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 36-17-1 in Nuggets last 54 games as a favorite. The two teams are a combined 9-4 to the over in games with a total closing at 235 points or more and 4-1 to the over in games with a total of 237 or more. 10* play on OVER. |

02-24-21 | Lakers v. Jazz UNDER 220.5 | Top | 89-114 | Win | 100 | 24 h 12 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR | WEST CONF TOTAL Two top-3 defenses in the league will clash at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday when the Utah Jazz host the Los Angeles Lakers. I think the bookmakers have set total for this game way too high. The Lakers are struggling without injured All-Star center Anthony Davis and guard Dennis Schroder. They have dropped four of their last five straight up and had scored 105, 112, 98 and 94 points in their last four games prior to a 127-124 OT loss to Washington last time out. Under is 10-2 in Lakers last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Utah is the hottest team in the NBA and it has held four of its last six opponents to fewer than 100 points. Last time out, the Jazz put a 132-110 beating on Charlotte, but note that under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 15-7 in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on UNDER. |

02-23-21 | Blazers v. Nuggets OVER 230.5 | Top | 106-111 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 34 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ NUGGETS 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Portland Trail Blazers will be playing on no rest following a 132-100 loss at Phoenix on Monday. Over is 4-0 in Trail Blazers last 4 games playing on 0 days rest and 7-0 in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Denver Nuggets are 21-9 to the over for the season, and they'll be looking to bounce back from a 123-115 loss to Atlanta. The Nuggets own the fourth-best points-per-game average in the league while the Blazers have a bottom-five scoring defense. I expect Denver to push the tempo and force the visitors into a shootout. 10* play on OVER. |

02-22-21 | Heat v. Thunder UNDER 213.5 | Top | 108-94 | Win | 100 | 15 h 56 m | Show |
HEAT VS THUNDER TOP RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Oklahoma City Thunder are 5-1 to the under in their last six games and 4-0 to the under in their last four as a home underdog. The Miami Heat held the Lakers to 94 points in a win on Saturday and they are 11-4 to the under in their last 15 games playing on 1 days rest. OKC Thunder have the second-worst offensive efficiency rating in the league while Miami ranks 24th. Lastly, the Heat and the Thunder are a combined 8-3-1 to the under in games with a total closing at 215 or lower. 10* play on UNDER. |

02-21-21 | Kings v. Bucks OVER 235.5 | Top | 115-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 52 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* KINGS @ BUCKS TOP-RATED 10* PLAY OF THE DAY The Milwaukee Bucks have been held to fewer than 100 points in back-to-back games, but this looks like a good spot to get their offense going against a Kings team that is one of the worst in the NBA on the defensive end. On the season, the Kings are allowing 119.3 ppg on 48.9% shooting from the field. The Kings are 19-10 to the over on the season, Milwaukee is 17-12-1 to the over. Over is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings. Over is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Milwaukee. The Kings and the Bucks are a combined 10-2 to the over in games with totals closing at 233 points or more this season. 10* play on OVER. |

HEAT @ LAKERS 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Lakers took a 109-98 loss to Brooklyn on Thursday. Each of their last two games has gone under the total, and they are 19-11 to the under on the season. Miami is coming off a 118-110 win at Sacramento, but the Heat have not been great offensively in recent games. Under is 11-3 in Heat last 14 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 4-0 in Lakers last 4 games following a straight up loss. Under is 13-6 in Lakers last 19 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. 10* play on UNDER. |

02-19-21 | Hawks v. Celtics OVER 225 | Top | 109-121 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY I am delighted to get this number for the total as I think it should be a couple of points higher. The Atlanta Hawks have struggled on the defensive end through a five-game losing streak, and they have allowed 118 points or more in six of their last eight games. These two teams played just a couple of days ago, a game Atlanta won 122-114 and the over is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

02-16-21 | Pelicans v. Grizzlies OVER 230 | Top | 144-113 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK The New Orleans Pelicans have the third-worst defensive efficiency rating in the league, giving up 113.3 points per 100 possessions. Over their last three games, they have allowed 129, 143 and 123 points. Here they'll face a Memphis Grizzlies side that has scored 120+ points in two of its last three games. Over is 7-1 in Pelicans last 8 road games. Over is 18-3 in Pelicans last 21 overall. Over is 5-0 in Grizzlies last 5 overall. 10* play on OVER. |

02-14-21 | Blazers v. Mavs OVER 236.5 | Top | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ MAVS 8* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off a 129-110 win over Cleveland, and they've really been humming on offense lately. Six of the Blazers last eight have gone over the total, and here they'll face a Mavs team that is allowing 114.4 ppg (24th). Portland is weak on the defensive end as well, allowing 115.1 ppg (25th) and the Mave have averaged 126.7 ppg through their last six games. Over is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings in Dallas. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Sure, this is a big number, but I think we'll see 240+ points in this game. 8* play on OVER. |

02-03-21 | Suns v. Pelicans UNDER 223 | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -104 | 23 h 23 m | Show |
*BAILOUT PLAY* | TOP-RATED 10* SUNS VS PELICANS TOTAL | 8-3 RUN! The Phoenix Suns are riding a three-game winning streak, and improved defense has been a key component in their success. Over their last four games, the Suns have held opponents to an average of 102 ppg, and here they'll face a New Orleans team that has a bottom-third scoring average. As for Phoenix, its offense is far more potent at home than on the road. Under is 8-3 in Suns last 11 road games. Under is 5-1 in Suns last 6 games as a road favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-08-21 | Suns v. Pistons UNDER 218 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ PISTONS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Detroit Pistons are winless through their last three games and gave up 130 points to the Bucks last time out. However, note that the under is 16-4 in Pistons' last 20 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game, and in this one, they'll face a Phoenix Suns team that owns the no. 1 scoring defense in the NBA, holding opponents to 102.4 ppg. Last time out, Phoenix knocked down 21-of-40 three-point attempts in a 123-115 win over Toronto, far above its season average, and the Suns are still 6-2 to the under on the season and average only 98.7 possessions per game, dead last in the NBA. 10* play on UNDER. |

01-05-21 | Wolves v. Nuggets UNDER 227 | Top | 116-123 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* WOLVES @ NUGGETS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Denver Nuggets are 5-1 to the over on the season. I think this total looks high though considering the Wolves offensive struggles. Sure, the first game of this two-game det saw 233 points, but I expect a lower-scoring affair here as the teams are more familiar with each other's offensive schemes. 10* top play on UNDER. |

09-18-20 | Nuggets v. Lakers UNDER 211.5 | Top | 114-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 10 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - NUGGETS VS LAKERS WCF GAME 1 TOP PLAY The Denver Nuggets held the Clippers to 96, 105, 98 and 89 points through the last four games of their Western Conference semi-finals series. The LA Lakers also stepped up defensively in their series with Houston, holding the Rockets to 102, 100 and 96 points through the last three games. Denver ranked second to last for pace during the regular season and will surely be looking to slow down the tempo in this one. Under is 6-0-2 in Nuggets last 8 overall. Under is 4-1 in Lakers last 5 overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

09-09-20 | Raptors v. Celtics UNDER 210 | Top | 125-122 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NBA) - RAPTORS VS CELTICS MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY This might look like a low number at first glance, but note that through the first five games of this series, the most points scored were 107 points. These two division rivals know each other very well, and both have proven themselves more than capable of playing lockdown defense. The over/under is 24-32-2 in the NBA playoffs so far. Celtics won the last game 111-89 and the under is 18-7-1 in Raptors last 26 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points and 5-1 in their last 6 games as an underdog. Under is 10-1 in Celtics last 11 overall. 10* play on UNDER 210. |

09-03-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers OVER 223 | Top | 97-120 | Loss | -107 | 15 h 26 m | Show |
NUGGETS VS CLIPPERS GAME 1 MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY The Denver Nuggets defeated the Utah Jazz 80-78 in Game 7 of their first-round series a couple of days ago. That was one of only two contests to go under the total in that series, and I think we'll see a high-scoring affair when they take on the LA Clippers in the opener of round 2. The Clippers showed they can score in their first-round series with Dallas, averaging 126.6 ppg. Four of six games went over the total, and while they were clutch offensively, the Mavs showed the Clips are vulnerable on the defensive end. The Nuggets have the weapons to hurt them in Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. The last two head-to-head meetings have both seen 230+ points, most recently a 124-111 Clippers win in the Orlando bubble on Aug 12. 10* play on OVER 223. |
|||||||
09-02-20 | Thunder v. Rockets UNDER 216.5 | Top | 102-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show |
THUNDER VS ROCKETS WEDNESDAY NIGHT NBA BEST BET The Houston Rockets and the Oklahoma City Thunder have combined for 204 points in each of the last two games of the series. The scoring has gone down significantly, which shouldn't come as a surprise as teams tend to step up defensively deep into close series, and it doesn't get any deeper or closer than this Game 7 of this Western Conference first-round playoff series. I expect another low-scoring affair. Under is 5-2 in Rockets last 7 games as a favorite. Under is 48-21-1 in Thunder last 70 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER 216.5. |
|||||||
08-25-20 | Jazz v. Nuggets OVER 220.5 | Top | 107-117 | Win | 100 | 18 h 9 m | Show |
JAZZ VS NUGGETS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The first four games of this series have seen the totals closing in the range of 214-216 points with all but one of those games going over the number. The bookmakers have made a fairly big adjustment for Game 5 Tuesday night, but I still think we'll see another shootout in this one. The Nuggets are in desperation mode heading into the contest 3-1 down in the series. They've struggled defensively and know they need to put up plenty of points to have a chance of winning. Denver has not had an answer on how to stop Utah guard Donovan Mitchell who has had two 50-point games in the series, but the good news is that the Nuggets own PG Jamal Murray came out in Sunday's 129-127 loss, finishing with 50 points. Over is 8-2 in Jazz last 10 overall. Over is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 games as a favorite. Over is 8-1 in Nuggets last 9 games as an underdog. 10* play on OVER 220.5. |

08-23-20 | Raptors v. Nets UNDER 217.5 | Top | 150-122 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - RAPTORS VS NETS MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY The Raptors have played lockdown defense since allowing the Nets to shoot 47 percent from the field in a 134-110 Toronto win in Game 1 of this best-of-seven first-round playoff series. The last two games have seen 203 and 209 points respectively, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair here in Game 4. The Raptors need only one more win to clinch the series, so why not come up with a massive effort today to maximize the rest until the next round? The Nets entered the Orlando bubble banged up, and it's not surprising to see them running out of steam, especially against the Raptors high-intensity defense. Under is 9-3 in Raptors last 12 overall. Under is 9-2 in Raptors last 11 Conference Quarterfinals games. Under is 4-1 in Nets last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games. 10* play on UNDER 217.5. |
|||||||
08-17-20 | Nets v. Raptors UNDER 222 | Top | 110-134 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 33 m | Show |
NETS VS RAPTORS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY We have seen plenty of high-scoring games in the Orlando bubble, but the Toronto Raptors' games have consistently been an exception to the rule. The Raptors had played seven straight unders prior to a 125-121 win over Philadelphia in their last regular-season game, and I expect the final score of this contest to stay under the posted total. The Raptors own the No. 1 scoring defense in the NBA allowing only 106.5 ppg, and scoring won't come easy for a Brooklyn team without several of its key pieces. 10* play on UNDER 222. |
|||||||
08-04-20 | Suns v. Clippers OVER 230 | Top | 117-115 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show |
SUNS VS CLIPPERS TUESDAY AFTERNOON BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The Phoenix Suns are one of the few teams still undefeated in the NBA bubble following impressive wins over Washington and Dallas. They are still a long-shot to make the playoffs, but they've certainly not given up. The LA Clippers are looking to defend their No. 2 seed in the West with Nuggets, Rockets and Thunder, but I think the motivational advantage goes to Phoenix. All that being said, I have my eyes on the total in this one. Both teams rank inside the top-10 for pace of play and in the top half for offensive efficiency. Additionally, the Clippers have been red hot from behind the arc and Phoenix is also capable of lighting it up from deep. 10* play on OVER 230. |
|||||||
07-30-20 | Clippers v. Lakers UNDER 216.5 | Top | 101-103 | Win | 100 | 65 h 10 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ LAKERS THURSDAY NIGHT NBA BEST BET The NBA players have been training inside the Disney World bubble for a while now, but I still don't think they'll be completely up to speed. We should see poor shooting to start off with as the players shake off the rust, and playing without fans in the stadium to hype up the teams. Additionally, can note that each of the first three head-to-head matchups of the season went under the total (215p, 214p, 217p). I expect this to be another relatively low-scoring affair. Under is 24-9 in Clippers last 33 games as a road underdog. Under is 15-5-1 in Lakers last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on UNDER 216.5. |

03-10-20 | Celtics v. Pacers UNDER 215.5 | Top | 114-111 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 17 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA) - TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER* The Boston Celtics have allowed just 102 points per game over their last two contests, but they still lost both averaging 95 ppg. Bad time to run into an Indiana Pacers team that boasts a top 5 scoring defense while holding opponents to 105.4 ppg home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. One of the few teams playing better D than the Pacers are the Celtics, limiting opponents to 106.8 ppg overall on the season. The Celtics are 21-13 to the under in games with a total of fewer than 118 points. 10* play on UNDER. |

03-02-20 | Jazz v. Cavs UNDER 219 | Top | 126-113 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY *MAJOR WAGER* The Utah Jazz have struggled on the defensive end lately and they were forced to put up a ton of points in order to snap a four-game skid with a 129-119 win over Washington last time out. Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers could be just what the doctor ordered to get back on track, considering the Cavs average just 106.5 ppg (26th) and have been held to 104 points in back-to-back losses. Both teams rank in the bottom-third for pace (the number of possessions a team uses per game) and while this will be the first meeting of the season, note that the under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Pistons v. Kings UNDER 217 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show |
PISTONS @ KINGS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Detroit Pistons have struggled to put points on the board lately and they had averaged just 98.4 ppg through a seven-game slide prior to a 113-11 win at Phoenix last time out. As for the Sacramento Kings, they defeated Memphis 104-101 last time out and they've held three of their last five opponents to 103 points or fewer. Under is 8-3 in Kings last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings. Under is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings in Sacramento. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED NUGGETS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL The Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers are involved in a battle for the second seed in the Western Conference and I expect a playoff-like and low-scoring affair when they clash at Staples Center Friday night. Additionally, both teams are more than capable of playing lockdown defense. The Clippers have allowed an average of just 94.5 ppg over their last two games while Denver held Detroit to 98 points last time out. Under is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 games as a home favorite and 7-1 in Nuggets last 8 games as a road underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

02-24-20 | Magic v. Nets UNDER 212.5 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -102 | 17 h 16 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC @ NETS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Orlando Magic are 29-24-1 to the under overall this season, no surprise considering their top-ranked scoring defense in combination with one of the worst scoring averages in the league. Additionally, they play at a very slow tempo (only 100.1 possessions/game) and I think they'll be allowed to dictate a slow pace for this contest. Note that the under is 22-7-2 in Magic's last 31 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 11-5 in their last 16 games playing on two days rest. The Nets are coming off a 115-86 triumph at Charlotte; under is 7-2 in their last nine games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 7-1 to the under in their last eight overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Indiana Pacers won 106-98 at New York in their first game back from the All-Star break while the Toronto Raptors defeated Phoenix 118-101. Two relatively low-scoring affairs, and I think the same will hold true for this one. The Raptors own the fourth-best scoring defense in the league allowing just 106.5 ppg, and Indiana is also in the top 10 holding opponents to 107.4 ppg. Under is 30-12-1 in Pacers last 43 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MIDWEEK TOTAL The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the defensive end, giving up 120.3 points per game on average. Last night they defeated Chicago 126-114, and I predict another high-scoring affair when they visit the NY Knicks Wednesday night. The Knicks have one of the worst offenses in the league, but even they should be able to put up points against a drained Wizards team that has seen 47 of its last 68 games when playing on no rest go over the total. You never have to worry about Washington putting points on the board (5th in the NBA) and note that the over is 17-5-1 in the Wizards last 23 games as a road underdog and 3-1 in Knicks games with a total of 227 points or higher on the season. 10* play on OVER. |

02-11-20 | Bulls v. Wizards OVER 229.5 | Top | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
BULLS @ WIZARDS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Chicago Bulls are 7-0 to the over in their last seven games and the total for this matchup with the Washington Wizards look a bit light to me. The Wizards have one of the absolute worst defenses in the league, but they're top 5 for points scored with 115.5 ppg. Last time out they took a 106-99 loss to Memphis but they're still 7-2 to the over in their last nine games. Chicago has allowed an average of 124.6 ppg through a five-game skid so I'm not concerned about the Wizards bouncing back putting points on the board, and even though the Bulls are among the lowest-scoring teams in the league I think they'll get plenty of open looks in this one. The Wizards are 17-9 to the over when the total is greater than or equal to 230 this season. 10* play on OVER. |

LATE NIGHT SPURS @ KINGS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are coming off three straight defeats, and they've allowed 125+ points in each of the last two. The bookmakers expect the Spurs to end the skid as a small favorite at Sacramento Saturday night, and we can note that the Over is 7-3 in Spurs last 10 games as a favorite and 6-1 in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. As for the Kings, they're 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games as an underdog and 10-2 to the over in their last 12 overall. Over is 12-6-1 in Kings' games with a total closing at 223 points or more this season while the Spurs are 16-8 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP RATED TGIF NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Both the Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors are very accomplished on the defensive end, but note that they're both 27-23-1 to the over on the season. The Raptors defeated Indiana 119-118 in Toronto just a couple of days ago (total closed at 216) to push their winning streak to 12 games, and I expect this to fly over as well. Over is 7-2 in Raptors last 9 road games. Over is 5-2 in Pacers last 7 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 games as an underdog. 10* play on OVER. |

PELICANS @ BULLS THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL *TOP PLAY* While the Chicago Bulls are on the lower end for offensive efficiency, I think they should be able to put up a fair amount of points against a New Orleans Pelicans side that is allowing 117.2 ppg on the season and took a 120-108 loss to Milwaukee last time out. The Pels are 14-5 to the over in their last 19 overall and 7-2 to the over in their last nine games as a favorite. As for the Bulls, they've allowed an average of 131 points through their last two games and each of their last five has gone over the total. 10* play on OVER. |

GRIZZLIES @ MAVS NBA TOP RATED TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 96-82 win over Detroit. I think buckets will come a lot easier for both sides when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night. Memphis is 6-2 to the over through its last eight on the road and the over is 6-1-1 in its last eight vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Additionally, the Grizzlies are 12-7 to the over in games with a total of 225 points or higher while the Mavs are 11-6 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. |

02-01-20 | Wolves v. Clippers OVER 229.5 | Top | 106-118 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 58 m | Show |
WOLVES @ CLIPPERS TOTA *MATINEE MASSACRE* The over is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings at Staples Center and the posted total for today's matinee matchup looks a little light. Minnesota has been abysmal on the defensive end all season long and it has surrendered 130+ points in two of its last three games. The Clippers have the fifth-best points per game average in the league and should be well up for this contest after taking a 103-124 loss to Sacramento last time out. Over is 7-1-1 in Clippers last 9 games as a home favorite. Over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 games as a road underdog. 8* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Toronto Raptors will be playing on no rest following a 115-109 win at Cleveland on Thursday. We were on the wrong side of the total backing the under in that game, and I expect to see this contest fly over the total as well. The Raptors are now 7-1 to the over in their last eight on the road, and while they're one of the best defensive teams in the league, heavy legs could become an issue in this one. As for the Detroit Pistons, they're 8-1 to the over in their last nine overall and 7-0 to the over in their last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on OVER. |

RAPTORS @ SPURS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Toronto Raptors recorded a 118-112 win at Madison Square Garden on Friday and they're 5-1 to the over through their last six games. Here they'll face a San Antonio team that is 27-17 to the over on the season and 8-2 to the over through its last 10 games following a straight up loss, which the Spurs are after taking a 103-99 loss to Phoenix Friday night. Toronto owns the third-best three-point shooting percentage in the league while San Antonio ranks seventh. I think we can count on a high-scoring contest at AT&T Center on Sunday. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAVS @ JAZZ TOTAL The Utah Jazz are one of the best defensive teams in the league, but note that the over is 5-1 in their last six games overall and 4-1 in their last five after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Last time out, Utah put a 129-96 beating on Golden State and I predict a high-scoring affair when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. The Mavs have scored 120+ points in four of their last five games and won 133-125 at Portland on Thursday. They have the third-best scoring average in the league and are 27-17 to the over on the season. 10* play on OVER. |

LATE SUNS @ SPURS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are 27-16 to the over on the season and both of their last two games have seen a total of 238 points scored. Here they'll host a Phoenix Suns team that took an 112-87 loss to Indiana last time out, but it had been involved in a couple of high-scoring contests prior to that. Over is 6-2 in the Suns last 8 games as an underdog and 18-6 in Spurs last 24 games as a favorite. 10* play on OVER. |

THURSDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Two of the worst teams in the league will battle it out at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland Thursday night, but I think they'll entertain the crowd with a high-paced high-scoring contest. The Washington Wizards rank dead last for points allowed with 120.1 ppg, but they're also top five for points scored. They should be particularly poor on defense here, playing on no rest after taking a 134-129 OT loss at Miami last night. As for the Cleveland Cavaliers, they're 8-3 to the over in their last 11 overall and 9-4 to the over in their last 13 as a home favorite while the over is 8-2 in the Wizards last 10 games as a road underdog. 10* play on OVER. |

MAGIC @ WARRIORS SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Only three teams in the NBA have a lower pace factor than the Orlando Magic who average only 100.5 possessions per game while the Golden State Warriors are second to last for offensive efficiency. Last time out, Orlando was held to 95 points on 39 percent shooting from the field in a loss at LA Clippers while Golden State has been held to 104 points or fewer in seven of its last eight games, the lone exception a 134-131 OT loss to Denver on Thursday. Under is 9-3 in Magic last 12 games as a road favorite. Under is 5-1 in Warriors last 6 games as an underdog and 9-2 in their last 11 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

The over is 20-7 in their last 27 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and I think they'll be involved in another high-scoring contest when they host the Washington Wizards Friday night. The Wizards are 22-17-1 to the over on the season and 6-2 to the over in their last eight games as a road underdog. They love to push the tempo and Toronto should be confident enough in its scoring ability to not mind a shootout. 10* play on OVER. |

TUESDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The New York Knicks have been involved in several high-scoring affairs lately. They've surrendered an average of 124.8 points over their last five games and five of their last six have gone over the total. The Milwaukee Bucks have scored 122+ points in back-to-back games and they average a solid 119.2 ppg on the season. I don't see how the Knicks will be able to slow down arguably the best team in the league, and I think the final scoreline for this contest will fly over the total with ease. 10* play on OVER. |

01-12-20 | Warriors v. Grizzlies OVER 223 | Top | 102-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
WARRIORS @ GRIZZLIES TOP PLAY The Golden State Warriors have dropped seven straight games and they've been held to 100 points or fewer in five of their last four. A date with Memphis could be just what they need to get on track offensively with the Grizzlies allowing 116.4 ppg (27th) on the season. The Grizzlies have been red hot on the offensive end in recent games, averaging 125.7 ppg through their last seven games. Over is 10-1 in Grizzlies last 11 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 overall. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA TOTAL The Dallas Mavericks took a 129-114 loss at LA Lakers Friday night. Heavy legs won't do them any favors on the defensive end here, and I think this will be another high-scoring contest for the Mavs who are 23-14 to the over on the season. As for the Philadelphia 76ers, they limited the Celtics to 98 points in a triumph last time out, but note that the over is 4-0 in the Sixers' last four trips to Dallas. 10* play on OVER. |

FRIDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* Only three teams in the NBA have a higher pace factor (105.5 possessions per game) than the Memphis Grizzlies. They've averaged 126.7 ppg through a three-game winning streak and here the Grizzlies will host a San Antonio team that ranks in the bottom third for defensive efficiency with 109.5 points allowed per 100 possessions. The Spurs are still in the middle of the pack in the conference due to their success on the offensive end, ranking sixth in the league for points scored and third-best in field goal percentage. Over is 5-1 in Spurs last 6 overall. Over is 8-0 in Grizzlies last 8 home games. Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings at FedexForum. 10* play on OVER. |

They still boast one of the best defensive efficiency ratings in the league, and here they'll face a Charlotte team that has been held to 104 points or fewer in four of its last six games. Under is 14-5-1 in Pacers last 20 vs. a team with a losing straight up record, 4-1 in Pacers last 5 games as a road favorite and 8-3 in Hornets last 11 games as a home underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns and the Memphis Grizzlies are both among the worst teams in the league for points allowed. Both teams have been heating up on the offensive side of the hardwood lately as well with Memphis scoring 117+ points in three straight games (won 140-114 at LA Clippers on Saturday) and Phoenix scoring 120+ in two of its last three games. Over is 6-0 in Grizzlies last 6 games playing on no rest and 8-2 in Suns last 10 games as a home favorite. The over/under is 25-11 in all NBA games with a total of more than 233 points this season. 10* play on OVER. |

Top rated nba The bookmakers expect the Portland Trail Blazers and the Washington Wizards to run up and down the court and score at will in this matchup, and it's hard to disagree. While casual bettors might be discouraged by the big number, I'm not. Note that the over is 30-10 in NBA games with a total of 235 points or more this season and I doubt these two teams will disappoint. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED GRIZZLIES @ KINGS TOTAL The Memphis Grizzlies have one of the worst defensive efficiency ratings in the league and the Sacramento Kings are also in the bottom half in that category. Additionally, only a handful of teams have a higher pace-factor than Memphis which is 8-2 to the over through its last 10 games. As for the Kings, they've seen the majority of their games going under the total this season, but I think we'll see points come fast and easy in this matchup between two defensively challenged teams. 10* play on OVER. |

01-01-20 | Blazers v. Knicks UNDER 223 | Top | 93-117 | Win | 100 | 18 h 47 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ KNICKS NEW YEARS DAY *TOP PLAY* The Portland Trail Blazers enter this contest as losers of four straight and they've allowed 120+ points in each of their last three games. This looks like a good spot to get back on track defensively against a Knicks team that is one of the worst in league with its 43 percent shooting from the field. Defensively, the Knicks have been solid over their last couple of games, first holding the Nets to 82 points and the Wizards to 100 points even last time out. Under is 7-1 in the last 8 meetings and I think this will be another relatively low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |

Last time out Portland took a 128-120 loss to the Lakers and Phoenix has seen four of its last five overall go over the total. Over is 17-6-1 in Trail Blazers last 24 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 23-11-1 in their last 35 games as a home favorite and 4-0 in Suns last 4 games as an underdog. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Portland. 10* play on OVER. |

THUNDER @ RAPTORS *TOP PLAY* The Toronto Raptors have one of the best defensive efficiency ratings in the league, and they showed why in a 113-97 win at Boston last night. Playing on no rest, a low tempo game will be in the interest of the Raptors and I think the OKC Thunder will oblige as they average just100.9 possessions per game (25th in the league) anyhow. OKC is coming off a 104-102 win at Charlotte, a low-scoring game despite going to OT. Under is 36-15-1 in Thunder's last 52 games as a road underdog. Under is 5-2 in Raptors last 7 games as a favorite. 10* play on UNDER. |

LATE NIGHT PELICANS @ NUGGETS XMAS DAY *TOP PLAY* Last year the 10 NBA games on Christmas Day went 6-2-2 to the under, and I think this late matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Denver Nuggets will follow that trend.. Only three teams own a better defensive efficiency rating than Denver and the same is true for its pace factor. The New Orleans Pelicans have their struggles on the defensive end but note that the under is 7-2 in their last 9 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL FOR DECEMBER Both sides rank near the bottom of the league for defensive efficiency with Memphis allowing 109.2 points per 100 possessions and Cleveland 111.3 points per 100 possessions. Additionally, while the Grizzlies have been known as a slow team in recent seasons, this edition is much different with only three teams playing at a faster pace. Over is 12-5 in Grizzlies last 17 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 16-3 in Cavaliers last 19 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on OVER. |

They did a good job defensively holding the Rockets to 41 percent shooting from the field and they're 8-2 to the under in their last 10 playing two days rest. Here they'll face a Brooklyn Nets side that is 5-1 to the under in its last six games and saw just 209 points in its last game, despite going to overtime. 10* play on UNDER. |

MAGIC @ JAZZ TUESDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The Utah Jazz are holding opponents to 103 points per 100 possessions and they are very capable slowing down the tempo to a snail's pace, something that's likely to happen here with only two teams playing at a slower pace than the Orlando Magic. Both the Jazz and the Magic rank in the bottom 10 of the NBA for offensive efficiency, with Orlando particularly poor at scoring just 103.4 points per 100 possessions. Under is 16-5 in Jazz last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on UNDER. |

12-12-19 | Mavs v. Pistons UNDER 220.5 | Top | 122-111 | Loss | -106 | 24 h 18 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Dallas Mavericks are one of the highest-scoring teams in the league, but I think the total is set too high for this matchup with the Detroit Pistons. Detroit is one of the slower teams in the league and it has played solid defense lately, holding four of its last five opponents to 103 points or fewer. Dallas saw a five-game winning streak come to an end with a 110-106 loss to Sacramento on Sunday. The Mavs have also played decent defense lately and their fresh legs should make it difficult for Detroit to get good looks. The under is 4-1 in Mavericks last 5 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in Pistons last 5 games as an underdog. 10* play on UNDER. |

They've not scored more than 104 points through a nine-game skid and the under is 6-2 in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Here they'll face the 9-15 Portland Trail Blazers who are having a tough season and shot just 36 percent from the field and 9-of-33 (27%) from 3-point range in a 108-96 loss to OKC last time out. 10* play on UNDER. |

Additionally, neither of these two teams are playing at a particularly high tempo and the Bulls are 5-1 to the under in their last 6 while the under is 14-5 in the Heat's last 19 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Additionally, note that the under is 14-6 in the last 20 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

The Mavs are 14-7 to the over overall on the season and the over/under is 7-2 in Mavericks last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Pels enter this game on a seven-game losing streak during which they've allowed boatloads of points. Last time out, they took a 139-132 OT loss to Phoenix and the over is 15-7 in Pelicans last 22 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED 10* WEDNESDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Dallas Mavericks have won three on the bounce and eight of their last nine following a 118-97 win over New Orleans Tuesday night. They're a home favorite here against Minnesota but might find themselves in a tough spot with heavy legs. They'll face a Timberwolves team that has the fourth-highest pace factor in the league and will be playing on two days rest, so the visitors will surely make the Mavs run up and down the court. Scoring points is never an issue for the Mavericks who enter Wednesday with the highest offensive efficiency rating in the NBA, but playing on no rest might very well show on the defensive end. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP RATED LAKERS @ NUGGETS BEST BET The LA Lakers had won 10 on the bounce prior to a 114-100 loss to Dallas last time out. Under is 5-0 in Lakers last 5 overall and 29-14 in their last 43 games following a straight up loss. Here they'll face a Denver team that played a sub-200 point game at Sacramento on Saturday despite going to overtime. Denver has the 2nd best defensive efficiency rating in the NBA this season with 99.9 points allowed per 100 possessions while the Lakers are 4th with 100.3 points allowed per 100 possessions. Additionally, neither team is likely to push the tempo, especially with Denver rated the 4th slowest team in the league on the season. Under is 22-8 in Nuggets last 30 home games and 20-8-1 in their last 29 games playing on two days rest. 10* play on UNDER. |

WARRIORS @ HAWKS TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY These are two of the worst teams in the league on the defensive side of the ball with the Golden State Warriors giving up 116 ppg and the Atlanta Hawks 119 ppg. Additionally, both sides have a pace factor that ranks in the top half of the league with the Hawks tied for 8th averaging 15.4 possessions per game. Last time out the Hawks surrendered 158 points at Houston and they're 11-2 to the over in their last 13 games. The Warriors took a loss in a low-scoring game at Orlando on Sunday, but the over is 6-1 in their last seven in the second game of a back-to-back situation. While both sides can be inconsistent when on the ball, I think their issues of getting stops are even bigger. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED FRIDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers have answered a four-game skid with back-to-back triumphs through which they've averaged 126.5 ppg. and the first of those two wins was a 117-94 win at Chicago on Nov 25. I think we'll see more points on the board for both teams here in the rematch on Black Friday. The Bulls may be one of the worst teams in the NBA for several offensive categories, but points should come fairly easy against a Portland side that ranks in the bottom 10 for defensive efficiency. Additionally, Portland has a top 10 pace factor and I think the home team will push the tempo and that the visitors will be more or less forced to oblige. Over is 9-2-1 in Trail Blazers last 12 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Over is 4-1 in Trail Blazers last 5 Friday games. Over is 6-2 in Bulls last 8 Friday games. 10* play on OVER. |

Injuries have not helped matters and there's a clear lack of healthy shooting talent on the roster right now. The Warriors shot just 41.6 percent from the field in a 100-97 loss to the OKC Thunder Monday night and they're 5-2 to the under over their last seven games. As for the Chicago Bulls, they were held to 41.9 percent shooting in a 117-94 loss to Portland last time out. On the season, Chicago ranks 27th for offensive efficiency and Golden State 24th. Under is 13-3 in Bulls last 16 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in Warriors last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. 10* play on UNDER. |

They've scored 120 points or more in five of those games and here they'll face a San Antonio Spurs team that has had huge issues on the defensive end of the hardwood all season long. The Spurs surrendered a ridiculous 122.4 ppg through an ugly eight-game skid before picking up a 111-104 win at the low-scoring New York Knicks on Saturday. They have one of the worst defensive efficiencies in the league, but on the flip side, they're also top five for offensive efficiency and I think they'll force the Lakers into a shootout. Over is 9-2 in Spurs last 11 home games. Over is 12-4 in the last 16 meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY TOTAL The Atlanta Hawks have one of the worst defensive efficiency ratings in the NBA, and their lack of defense was on full display in Friday night's 128-103 loss at Detroit. Playing on no rest won't do the Hawks any favors, and I expect the Raptors to run up the score quite freely. That being said, Atlanta has scored 100+ points in eight straight games and they put up 127 their last time out home at State Farm Arena. Over is 4-0 in Raptors last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Over is 8-0 in Hawks last 8 overall. 10* play on OVER. |

SPURS @ SIXERS FRIDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are going through a miserable stretch with losses in seven straight games, during which they've allowed an average of 123.4 ppg. Here they'll face a Philadelphia team that hardly has been lighting up the scoreboard lately, but the over is still 7-3 in 76ers last 10 overall. 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Spurs can't defend against anyone, but they can put points on the board and I expect the final score to breeze over the posted total. 10* play on OVER. |

The Pels are also one of the worst defensive teams in the league though with 118.9 points allowed per game on average and I'm confident we'll see points come fast and easy for both teams in this contest. The Suns took a 120-116 loss at Sacramento a couple of nights ago and they're on a 10-2 run to the over following a straight up loss. Additionally, the over is 5-1 in the last 6 head-to-head meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

11-20-19 | Knicks v. 76ers UNDER 214.5 | Top | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The New York Knicks are one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA, and they're most likely in for a tough one against a Philadelphia team that is holding opponents to a solid 102.7 points per 100 possessions. The Knicks are also among the slowest teams in the league with just over 100 possesions per game while the Sixers rank in the middle of the pack for pace. The Knicks are coming off a 123-105 win over Cleveland on Monday. The under is 11-2-1 in their last 14 games playing on 1 days rest and 23-9-1 in their last 33 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Philly had put a 114-95 beating on that same Cleveland team the night before, and the under is 10-4 in its last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on UNDER. |

11-19-19 | Thunder v. Lakers UNDER 210.5 | Top | 107-112 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 56 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S BEST NBA TOTAL FOR NOVEMBER The LA Lakers are tied for the best record in the league while having the very best point-differential, and arguably the biggest reason for their success is their play on the defensive end of the hardwood. The Lakers have the very best defensive efficiency in the NBA (even better than Utah!) and they've allowed an average of just over 97 ppg over their last three contests. The OKC Thunder have been held to fewer than 90 points in two of their last three games, including a 90-88 loss to the Clippers here at Staples Center Monday night. Under is 34-16-1 in Thunder last 51 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 15-7 in Lakers last 22 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED HAWKS @ LAKERS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The LA Lakers have the best defensive efficiency in the league, allowing just 97.2 points per 100 possessions. Atlanta has one of the worst offensive efficiency ratings in the NBA and the Hawks will be playing on no rest after taking a 119-83 beating by the Clippers last night. I think we can safely assume that the Clippers will run away with this game early and then keep the Hawks at a distance. Under is 15-6 in Lakers last 21 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL San Antonio Spurs have one of the worst marks in the league for defensive efficiency, and this looks like a trouble spot defensively as they'll be playing on no rest. The over is 15-5 in Spurs last 20 games playing on 0 days rest, and for all of Portland's struggles this season, putting the ball in the basket has rarely been an issue. The Blazers will be playing on two days rest and I think they'll drive up the tempo to take advantage of the home team's tired legs, forcing a high-paced shootout. 10* play on OVER. |

11-15-19 | Wizards v. Wolves OVER 238.5 | Top | 137-116 | Win | 100 | 16 h 3 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* FRIDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The books have posted an extremely high total for this matchup between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Washington Wizards Friday night, but do not let the high number intimidate you. Note that the over is 51-33-1 (60%) in games with a closing number of 235+ points since the start of last season, and while I would not recommend betting the over blindly in those spots moving forward, we have a strong case for this contest to fly over the posted total. Both teams rank in the top 10 for pace (Minnesota 4th, Washington 7th) and only Golden State has a worse defensive efficiency (the number of points a team allows per 100 possessions) than the Wizards. Additionally, both teams are averaging over 115 ppg, and that's against a mixed bucket of opponents, most with better defenses than we'll see here. Over is 6-1 in Timberwolves last 7 overall. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

The Phoenix Suns took a 123-115 home loss to the Lakers last time out and the over is 4-0 in their last four games. Phoenix has among the best offensive efficiency (the number of points a team scores per 100 possessions) numbers in the league and they're also in the top third for pace. I'm confident they'll make the Hawks run in this one, forcing a fast-paced and high-scoring game. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP RATED MONDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL Golden State has been atrocious on the defensive end of the hardwood in recent games, but the Utah Jazz just might come out flat offensively in this following back-to-back home wins over two NBA heavyweights in Philadelphia and Milwaukee. The Jazz have the best defensive efficiency in the league, and this edition of the Golden State Warriors lack the firepower to break them down. Under is 11-2-1 in Jazz last 14 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 20-6-1 in Warriors last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED RAPTORS @ LAKERS TOTAL The LA Lakers rank top of the league in defensive efficiency giving up just 94.5 points per 100 possessions and the Toronto Raptors are in the top 10. The under is 12-5-1 in the Raptors last 18 road games and 7-2 in the Lakers last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Additionally, the under is 7-2 in the last 9 head-to-head meetings. The Raptors are shorthanded with All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry and backup big man Serge Ibaka out. I think they'll try and slow down the pace to make it hard for the Lakers to run away with the game, and the Lakers are not playing at a particularly high pace as it is. 10* play on UNDER. |

11-07-19 | Celtics v. Hornets OVER 217.5 | Top | 108-87 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 48 m | Show |
CELTICS @ HORNETS TOP RATED TOTAL The Charlotte Hornets defeated the Indiana Pacers 122-120 in OT last time out to improve to 4-3 overall and 2-1 at home. They struggled big time on the defensive end in their first two home games though, and here they'll face a Boston Celtics side that is coming off a 119-113 win at Cleveland to make it four wins on the bounce. The Celtics have scored 116+ points in three of those wins and each of the last five games in this series has gone over the total. Over is 5-1-1 in Hornets last 7 home games and 13-5-1 in their last 19 games following a straight up win. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP RATED 10* 76ERS @ JAZZ NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz have opened the season with seven straight unders, and I think another relatively low-scoring affair is in the cards when they host the Philadelphia 76ers Wednesday night. The Sixers will be looking to bounce back from a 114-109 loss at Phoenix Suns on Monday, and they're likely to be focusing on getting the defense right. "Obviously defensively, I thought they never really felt us in the second half," forward Tobias Harris told reporters after the setback. "They got too many easy looks, too many open looks. So, I thought that was probably the biggest adjustment." Overall on the season, Philly is still a top 10 team in defensive efficiency, a category the Jazz rank no. 1 for, but Utah is also one of the worst teams in the league in offensive efficiency. Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings in Utah and 9-2 in the last 11 meetings overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

LAKERS @ BULLS TUESDAY NIGHT *TOP PLAY* The LA Lakers have played locked down basketball lately holding opponents to an average of 96.8 ppg through a five-game winning streak, and that's despite one of the games going to OT. They lead the league in defensive efficiency (the number of points a team allows per 100 possessions) and here they'll face a Chicago team that has been held to fewer than 100 points in three of its last four games. Under is 26-10-1 in the Bulls last 37 home games vs. a team with a winning road record while the under is 14-5 in Lakers last 19 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and I think they'll limit the damage the 2-5 Bulls can do on offense. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S JAZZ @ CLIPPERS TOTAL TOP PLAY The Utah Jazz have the best scoring defense in the NBA with only 94.0 ppg allowed per game while holding opponents to 42.1 percent shooting from the field. They're also one of the slowest teams with just 100.7 possessions per game and have yet to see any of their games go over the total this season. The Clippers have also stepped it up a notch on the defensive end in recent games and limited the Spurs to 97 points last time out. Under is 3-0 in their last three overall and 4-1 in Clippers last 5 home games. We saw just a total of 206 points when these two teams did battle at Utah earlier this week, and I think this will be another low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |

The Portland Trail Blazers shot just 39.5 percent in a 102-99 win at OKC last time out, and while they generally shoot the ball much better home at Moda Center I don't see points coming easy in this one. Under is 3-1 in the Sixers four games on the season and 6-2 in their last 8 vs. teams from the Western Conference. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED 10* JAZZ @ KINGS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz are limiting opponents to 40.8% shooting from the field on the season and have yet to allow more than 96 points in any of their games. As for the Sacramento Kings, they're averaging only 98.6 ppg and note that both these teams are in the bottom six in the NBA for offensive efficiency (the number of points a team scores per 100 possessions). Utah is as per usual one of the slowest teams in the league just barely breaking 100 possessions per game and the under is 5-0 in their first five games this season. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED 10* SPURS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL The LA Clippers will be playing on no rest following a loss at Utah last night. I think their heavy legs could become an issue on defense, something that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will be smart enough to exploit by urging his team to push the ball tempo to get open shots. The Spurs have averaged 119 ppg while going a perfect 3-0 on the season and the Clippers have had no trouble scoring, entering this contest with a 121.5 ppg average despite being held to 96 points by the Jazz last night. Note that star forward Kawhi Leonard was rested yesterday, and he'll surely be up for putting points on the board against his former team. Additionally, we can note that both teams rank near the top of the league for offensive efficiency (the number of points a team scores per 100 possessions). Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings and the last head-to-head matchup here at Staples Center saw a total of 233 points scored. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TUESDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Dallas Mavericks have averaged 121 ppg while splitting a couple of high-scoring affairs against New Orleans and Portland, but I think points will be harder to come by here at Denver Tuesday night with the home team looking to slow down the tempo. The Nuggets are 2-0 to the under on the season, scoring 108 points in both games with an average of only 103.5 ppg allowed (and that despite Friday's matchup at Phoenix going to overtime). They were just outside of the top 10 for defensive efficiency (the number of points a team allows per 100 possessions) last season and it looks like Denver will be hard to beat on the defensive end of the hardwood this season as well. Under is 4-1 in Nuggets last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 16-5 in their last 21 home games. Under is 4-1 in Mavericks last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings at Pepsi Center. *Write up posted before the conclusion of Denver's matchup with the Kings at Sacramento Monday night. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Golden State Warriors managed to avoid elimination with a 106-105 win at Toronto on Monday, a contest that just about stayed under the total despite a high-scoring first-half. The series now shifts back to Oakland for Game 6, and I think this one will go over as we're seeing the lowest total so far in the series. The game will be the Warriors' last at Oracle Arena before moving to the Chase Center in San Francisco next season. Klay Thompson thinks the fans will be an important 6th man tonight, particularly with Kevin Durant out again after a brief comeback last time out. "I expect our fans to be the loudest they have ever been, especially in the name of Kevin and bringing his type of spirit he would bring to the fight and the competitiveness," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said Wednesday. "I know our fans will do that because we deserve it, but more importantly, Kevin does for what he gave this team, this organization. There wouldn't be banners if it wasn't for his presence." The Raptors outscored the Warriors 120-96 from three-point land in their three triumphs, while the Warriors owned a 99-57 advantage from behind the arc in their two victories. Considering what's at stake, expect both teams to be locked in and knock down plenty of three-pointers driving up the score. Over is 9-3 in Raptors last 12 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 9-4 in Warriors last 13 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings at Oracle Arena. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA TOTAL) The Golden State Warriors are in desperation mode with their backs against the wall after a Game 4 loss at home to put them in a 3-1 hole in the series. The Warriors simply can not afford to lose another game, and as they are finding it very hard to stop the Raptors offense they're gonna have to focus on outscoring their opponent to stay alive. The Raptors are playing with a lot of confidence and have been shooting the ball well throughout the series. The Warriors, and Stephen Curry in particular need to bounce back from a tough outing as they scored just 92 points and turned the ball over 19 times in the most recent loss. Curry himself was just 2-for-9 from behind the arc, extremely unlikely to happen again. Over is 6-1-1 in Warriors last 8 road games. Over is 9-3 in Warriors last 12 NBA Championship games. Over is 9-2 in Raptors last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Toronto. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE YEAR (NBA): MIKE'S BEST NBA PLAYOFFS TOTAL The Toronto Raptors and the Golden State Warriors combined for 232 points in Game 3 of this series and over is now 9-2 in Warriors last 11 NBA Championship games. I think we'll see another high-scoring affair here Friday night. Sure, Warriors are expected to get Klay Thompson back which no doubt will help them defensively, but we should also keep in mind that Thompson was the Warriors' leading scorer in their Game 2 win with 25 points on 10-for-17 shooting. The Warriors are in desperate need of a win here to avoid heading to Toronto down 3-1 in the series, and they'll need to heat up offensively to keep pace with a Raptors team that has shot better than 50 percent from the field in its two wins in the series and shot 44.7 percent from beyond the arc last time out. "We haven't really had a good team shooting night, and I knew eventually at some point we were due for one," Toronto guard Danny Green said after Game 3. "We still have to do a better job defensively on that end of the floor to limit those guys better so we don't have to rely on our offense or our shooting to win games for us." Over is 9-2 in the last 11 meetings at Oracle Arena. Over is 13-3 in Raptors last 16 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): RAPTORS @ 76ERS GAME 4 TOTAL The first three games of this series have gone under the total, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair here in Game 4 Sunday afternoon. The Toronto Raptors will be desperate for a win to regain homecourt advantage and, and they know what they have to improve. "I think the first adjustment, we're going to have to make it, I guess we're going to have to play all of them a lot harder," Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said. "We're going to have to play a hell of a lot more physical. I mean if we don't do that, the prettiest things we decided to do offensively aren't going to matter much." The Philadelphia 76ers won Game 3 116-95, but we can note that under is 8-2 in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 7-1 in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 8-1 in Raptors last 9 overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED 10* RAPTORS @ 76ERS GAME 3 BEST BET The Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers enter Game 3 of this Eastern Conference semifinals series tied at 1-1. Both teams have combined decent defense with poor shooting through the first two games, and I expect more of the same tonight. Toronto won the first game of the series 108-95, but neither team managed to break 100 points in Game 2, a matchup Philly won despite shooting just 39.5% from the field (Toronto shot 36.7%). Under is 7-1 in Raptors last 8 overall. Under is 6-1 in 76ers last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED 10* BLAZERS @ THUNDER BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL The first two games of this series at Portland were both low-scoring affairs, and that's a trend I expect to continue here in Game 3 at Chesapeake Energy Arena Friday night. The Thunder really struggled to put points on the board and were held to sub-100 points in both contests. Under is 6-2 in Thunder last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 4-0 in their last four Conference Quarterfinals games. The Blazers averaged 118.2 ppg at home during the regular season but that number dropped significantly to 111.1 ppg on the road. Under is 6-2-1 in their last nine away from home and 6-2 in their last eight vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Thunder need to win this game to avoid falling into an 0-3 hole. They're probably smart enough to realize they can't outscore Portland, and I expect the home team to come out and play lock-down defense and try and slow down the tempo. 10* play on UNDER. |

The Warriors won the first matchup 121-105, and in that neighbourhood is where I think the final score for this contest will land as well. The Clippers have averaged a healthy 115.0 ppg on the season, but they match up poorly offensively against Golden State and have averaged just 97.3 ppg through the last three head-to-head meetings (all three went under the total). Under is 6-2 in Clippers last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Under is 19-7 in Warriors last 26 overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

Here they'll face an OKC Thunder team that kept the scorekeepers busy during their five-game winning streak down the stretch. The Thunder put a 127-116 beating on Milwaukee in the regular season finale, and playoffs or not, I expect both teams to let offense rule this game. Particularly Portland is likely to struggle to stop OKC in the paint on the defensive end with big man Jusuf Nurkic out for the season.

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL The Denver Nuggets defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 119-110 home at Pepsi Center Friday night. Each of the last three meetings in the series have gone over the total, and I predict another relatively high-scoring affair here at Moda Center Sunday night. The Blazers have been held to fewer than 110 points in just one of their last nine games, a 99-90 loss at Detroit on March 30 which was their second game of a back-to-back situation. Over is 19-5-2 in Trail Blazers last 26 games playing on one day of rest and 13-2-1 in their last 16 home games. The Nuggets have been involved in somewhat low-scoring affairs lately with only two of their last seven going over the total. However, with both teams playoff position still to be decided I expect to see a wide open affair and both teams trying to outscore the other rather than winning with good defense. 10* play on OVER. |

TOP RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL The Phoenix Suns have topped 103 points in only one of their last six games, an OT win at New Orleans. The under is 8-2 in their last 10 games and here they'll face a Utah team that is allowing just 106.2 ppg on the season and held the Bulls to 83 points on 35.9% shooting (including 2-of-16 from 3-point range) last time out. "I liked how we started the game. I thought we were focused on the defensive end," Utah coach Quin Snyder told the team website. "I just want us to keep getting better." Under is 6-2 in Utah's last eight games overall and 7-1 in its last eight vs. Western Conference foes. The Jazz have a playoff spot locked in but are in a tight race for the No. 5 (and possibly No. 4) seed in the West. Under is 23-9 in the last 32 meetings with the Sun who they've beaten twice this season, winning 116-88 on Feb. 6 and 114-97 on March 13. I think this will be another relatively low-scoring affair. 10* play on UNDER. |

They've held opponents to an average of 102 ppg during that run and held the Knicks to 37.8 percent shooting from the field last time out. Under is 18-5 in Nuggets last 23 overall, and here they'll visit a Pacers team that has averaged only 99 ppg through a four-game losing streak. Indiana was held to 38.5% shooting from the field in a 112-89 loss at Golden State last time out. Under is 8-1 in Pacers last nine overall and 20-6 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Both teams are involved in tight battles for home-court advantage in their respective conferences, and I think we'll see a competitive, low-scoring game with a postseason feeling to it here at Bankers Life Fieldhouse on Sunday. 10* play on UNDER. |

03-22-19 | Spurs v. Rockets UNDER 220.5 | Top | 105-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL Both teams have been involved in relatively low-scoring contests lately with under is 9-2 in Spurs last 11 overall and 8-2 in Rockets last 10 overall. This contest is important for both teams as San Antonio is in a dogfight with the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder for the No. 5 seed in the West, so it will most certainly be motivated to bounce back from a 110-105 loss to Miami. The Spurs had won nine in a row prior to that setback and have produced a 104.1 defensive rating over the past 10 games. "Defense -- and understanding that's what's going to take us to get to the next level and beyond," Mills said in explaining the Spurs' recent run. The Rockets are fighting to hold off Portland for the No. 3 seed in the conference and will also be looking to bounce back from a defeat after taking a 126-125 OT loss at Memphis last time out. They had won eight of nine prior to that setback while never allowing more than 106 points. We can also note that under is 5-1 in the last six meetings overall and 12-3 in the last 15 meetings in Houston. The Rockets won the last meeting 108-101 with a total closing at 217.5 points, and I think this game will stay under the total as well. 10* play on UNDER. |

"I think the loss to Phoenix opened our eyes a little bit," Golden State coach Steve Kerr told reporters. "And I think our guys just felt threatened on the road. We've played two great teams, we've got another one, maybe the hottest team in the league in San Antonio coming up, so anytime they're threatened, I think our guys tend to play better." Under is 9-1 in the Warriors last 10. and here they'll face a San Antonio team that has won eight straight games and held all but one of those opponents (Milwaukee) to fewer than 105 points. The Spurs lead the league in scoring defense during their winning streak, allowing just 99.8 points per 100 possessions. The Warriors put a 141-102 beating on San Antonio last month, but you better believe Spurs coach Gregg Popovich will have his team better prepared defensively for this one. 10* play on UNDER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED 10* TOTAL The Indiana Pacers should be farily well rested here following 103-98 win over New York at home Tuesday night. They've struggled to put points on the board of late though, averaging only 98.8 ppg through their last four but have limited opponents to a league-best 103.9 ppg on the season. Under is 24-11 in Pacers' games home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. They enter this contest off four straight unders and under is 16-5 in Pacers' games after three or more consecutive unders this season. The OKC Thunder will be playing on no rest after defeating the Nets last night. They have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three playing on zero days rest while Indiana is 4-0 in its last four against opponents playing on back-to-back nights. Under is 13-3 in OKC's games as underdogs this season and 19-10 when playing against a team with a winning record. 10* play on UNDER. |
