03-10-19 | Suns v. Warriors UNDER 235 | Top | 115-111 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Phoenix Suns will head to Oakland with their heads held high as they had won three on the bounce before taking a 127-120 loss at Portland on Saturday. Under is 8-4 in Phoenix games with total of 230+ points this season and I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair as they visit the Golden State Warriors Sunday night. The Suns had allowed just 103.3 ppg during their winning streak and limited the Milwaukee Bucks to 105 points Monday night. Here they'll face a Golden State Warriors team that is coming off a 122-105 win over Denver to make it six unders through their last seven games. The Warriors have not played particularly well of late and will most likely not do much more than needed to get the W here. Golden State claimed the first meeting of the season 117-107 about a month ago and has won 18 straight meetings in the series. The Warriors have outscored Phoenix by an average of 16.4 points during that stretch, and I think we'll see Golden State run up the score early and then slow down the tempo in the 4th quarter. Who will cover is tough to say as the Suns might get the backdoor cover, but I'm confident this game will stay under the total. 10* play on UNDER. |

03-08-19 | Nuggets v. Warriors UNDER 233.5 | Top | 105-122 | Win | 100 | 19 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL The Golden State Warriors are in need of a solid defensive outing following a 128-95 blowout loss to Boston Tuesday night. Only one of their last six games have gone over the total total and under is 8-2 in Warriors last 10 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Tonight they'll face Denver team that seen each of its last seven games go under the total. Both the Nuggets and the Warriors are obviously very capable of putting up good numbers, but neither side is playing particularly well at the moment. I expect to see a tight playoff-like affair as they jostle for the top spot in the conference and home-court advantage throughout the Western playoffs. 10* play on UNDER. |

03-03-19 | Raptors v. Pistons UNDER 219.5 | Top | 107-112 | Win | 100 | 18 h 44 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED EASTERN CONF TOTAL This will be the 2nd leg of a back-to-back set for the Detroit Pistons, but they didn't have to spend too much energy in a comfortable 129-93 win over the short-handed Cleveland Cavaliers Saturday afternoon. Under is 25-8-1 in their last 34 games playing on zero days rest and the Pistons should have plenty of gas left in the tank to play good defense in this matchup with the Toronto Raptors. "We played as well as we expected," Detroit coach Dwane Casey said. "I wouldn't put anything into the amount of points or the point differential. I promise it's not going to be that type of game tomorrow." Toronto is coming off a high-scoring 119-117 triumph over Portland Friday night, but they had played two straight unders prior to that and under is 7-2 in their last nine vs. Eastern Conference foes. The Pistons defeated the Raptors 106-104 in Toronto on Nov. 14 and under is 3-1-1 in the last five meetings in the series. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-22-19 | Nuggets v. Mavs UNDER 219.5 | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 13 h 20 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED TOTAL The Nuggets won the first meeting of the season 126-118 home at Pepsi Center, but I think we'll see far fewer points on the board here in the rematch at Dallas Friday night. Under is 15-5-1 in the Mavs last 21 overall and they' allowed just 106.3 ppg home at American Airlines Center. Denver meanwhile is playing just .500 basketball on the road, and one reason is a big drop in points scored compared to home, 107.7 ppg vs. 112.0 ppg). Also keep in mind that this is both teams first game back from the All Star break, so rust and sloppy shooting can be expected. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
02-07-19 | Spurs v. Blazers OVER 227 | Top | 118-127 | Win | 100 | 17 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) The San Antonio Spurs took a 141-102 beating at Golden State last night and have allowed 124 points or more in three of their last five games. Over is 13-3 in Spurs last 16 games playing on no rest and I think we'll see points come fast and easy for both teams here at Moda Center Thursday night. Spurs rested All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge and shooting guard DeMar DeRozan last night but the duo is expected to be back here to take on a Portland team that had scored 120 points or more in three straight games prior to a 118-109 setback to Miami last time out. Over is 6-0-1 in Trail Blazers last seven home games and 12-4 in the last 16 meetings with the Spurs in Portland. 10* play on OVER. |

01-27-19 | Raptors v. Mavs UNDER 220 | Top | 123-120 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 45 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED BEST TOTAL BET The Toronto Raptors took a high-scoring loss at Houston Friday night, but each of their last four games prior to that had gone under the total. Here they'll face Dallas Mavericks team that has won back-to-back games despite scoring just 106 points in both, and under is 5-0 in the Mavs last five overall. Ten of Dallas' 12 games overall here in January have gone under and under is a PERFECT 8-0 in its last eight vs. teams from the East. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
01-06-19 | Heat v. Hawks OVER 221.5 | Top | 82-106 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 33 m | Show |
NBA PLAY OF THE DAY (TOP RATED 10* TOTAL) Both of the first two meetings between the Miami Heat and the Atlanta Hawks this season went over the total with closing numbers of 224 and 225.5 points. Despite that, we're getting a lower number here in the third meeting between the Southeast Division rivals, and I'm all over the over. The Miami Heat have seen each of their last six games go over, and here they'll face a Hawks side that is struggling on the defensive end and allowed 144 points at Milwaukee its last time out. Over is 8-3 in Hawks last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Note that the two teams have a combined 26-17 over/under record in games with a total closing at 220 points or more this season, so don't let the relatively big number scare you. 10* play on OVER. |

01-04-19 | Thunder v. Blazers UNDER 224 | Top | 111-109 | Win | 100 | 21 h 59 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED 10* NBA TOTAL The Oklahoma City Thunder have lost eight straight meetings at Portland and under is 14-6 in their 20 road games on the season. They do however own the 4th best scoring defense in the NBA, and here they'll face a Portland side that is coming off a 113-108 win at Sacramento, a contest that went under the total despite going to OT. Under is 9-2 in Trail Blazers last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 5-1 in their six games against divisional opponents this season. Three of the last four meetings in the series have gone under, all with totals closing at a number much lower than this. 10* play on UNDER. |

12-31-18 | Hawks v. Pacers UNDER 221.5 | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -107 | 17 h 21 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S BEST NEW YEARS EVE NBA TOTAL The Pacers and the Hawks combined for 250 points in an Indiana win at Atlanta on December 26, but I think we'll see way fewer points scored here in this early New Years Eve matchup. The Pacers have allowed just 96.4 ppg through 18 contests home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse this season and under is 14-4 in those games. Under is 17-8 in Hawks last 25 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 10-1 in the last 11 meetings with the Pacers. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-26-18 | Suns v. Magic UNDER 209.5 | Top | 122-120 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 35 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Both the Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic rank near the bottom of the league for both offensive efficiency and pace. I think we'll see a low-scoring contest at Amway Center Wednesday night. Four of the Suns last six games have gone under the total and I don't see them pushing the tempo here, especially considering they'll be closing out a five-game road trip that has seen them travel 9,180 miles. The Suns appeared to be fatigued at times when they suffered a 111-103 loss in Brooklyn on Sunday, not all that surprising considering they played a triple OT game in Washington the night before. I doubt the hosts will be looking to make this an up-tempo game either, considering that's not they're style at all averaging just 99.9 possessions per game on the season. Four of the Suns last six games have gone under the total. Under is 12-4 in Magic last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-08-18 | Heat v. Clippers OVER 220 | Top | 121-98 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 12 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY (TOTAL) The LA Clippers had scored 110 points or more in four straight games before getting held to a season-worst 86 in a loss to Memphis Wednesday night. I think they'll be back to their free-scoring ways here against a Miami team which opened a six-game road trip with a 115-98 victory over Phoenix Friday night. Playing on no rest will almost certainly not do the Heat any favors defensively, and we can note that over is 11-1 in their last 12 games playing on 0 days rest. Combine it with the fact that over is 10-3 in Clippers last 13 overall and I think we have a solid case for the over here. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-06-18 | Rockets v. Jazz OVER 216 | Top | 91-118 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 27 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER (TOTAL) The Houston Rockets had played eight straight overs before taking a 103-91 loss at Minnesota Monday night (with a total closing at 222.5 points). The Rockets had scored 120+ points in three of their last four games prior to that that dudd and here they'll face a Utah team which scored a season-high 139 points against San Antonio on Tuesday. Since acquiring Kyle Korver, the Jazz are the 3rd best 3 point shooting team in the league, hitting 43.3% of their shots from downtown, and they scored a franchise high 20 three pointers against the Spurs. Over is 7-0 in Jazz last 7 home games and 10-4 in Jazz last 14 games playing on one days rest. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-04-18 | Spurs v. Jazz OVER 213 | Top | 105-139 | Win | 100 | 12 h 11 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) TOTAL The San Antonio Spurs managed to put an end to a two-game slide with a 131-118 win over Portland last time out. They have seen seven of their last eight games go over the total (one push) and have allowed an average of 127.3 ppg through their last three contests. The Utah Jazz are not quite the stout defensive unit we've gotten used to in recent years. They've allowed an average of 113.4 ppg through their eight home games on the season with seven of those going over the total. We can also note that the Jazz have been shooting 39.7 percent from the perimeter since trading for veteran shooting guard Kyle Korver. I think this total looks way too low and recommend a BIG PLAY on the over. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-02-18 | Blazers v. Spurs OVER 216 | Top | 118-131 | Win | 100 | 12 h 57 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) TOTAL The San Antonio Spurs have given up an average of 132 points in back-to-back losses by 30 points or more. They're allowing 112.0 ppg on the season and over is 6-0-1 in their last seven games. Here the Spurs will face a Portland side which has seen six of its last seven games go over the total, the lone exception a matchup with the total closing at 227 points. Spurs have been terrible at the defending the three lately allowing their last two opponents to shoot a combined 40-of-95 from downtown, and Portland's backcourt is capable of making it rain. The Blazers shot 53.6 percent from the field in a 121-108 win over the Spurs at home on Oct. 20 and over is 6-1 in the last seven meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

11-23-18 | Blazers v. Warriors UNDER 220 | Top | 97-125 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 60 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT NBA TOTAL (10* TOP PLAY) The Golden State Warriors are in free fall, coming off four straight defeats as they're battling injuries to Draymond Green and Stephen Curry. The former might be back here while the latter is expected to miss several more games. Four of their last five games when playing without Curry have gone under the total, and that's a pattern I expect to continue here. This will be the finale of a tough six-game road trip for the Blazers and I think they'll make sure to up the intensity on the defensive end after giving up 143 points at Milwaukee last time out. Under is 4-0 in Trail Blazers last four games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Under is 19-6-1 in Warriors last 26 games following a straight up loss. 10* play on UNDER. |

11-19-18 | Jazz v. Pacers UNDER 205.5 | Top | 94-121 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) TOTAL The Indiana Pacers have won back-to-back games despite not breaking 100 points scored in either contest. They're allowing just 101.4 ppg on the season which drops to 97.1 ppg home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse where the O/U is 1-7 for the season. Tonight the Pacers will host a Utah team which has not played with its usual intensity on the defensive end of the court lately, but it showed what it's capable of when holding Boston to 86 points on 38.5 percent shooting its last time out. Under is 10-3 in Jazz last 13 vs. Eastern Conference. Under is 18-8 in Pacers last 26 vs. Western Conference. Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Indiana. 10* play on UNDER in Indiana. |

11-14-18 | Bulls v. Celtics UNDER 210 | Top | 82-111 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
10* NBA TOP PLAY The Boston Celtics have lost four of their last five and shot only 38.7 percent from the field in a 100-94 loss at Portland their last time out. Under is 6-2 in Celtics last eight games following a straight up loss and I think we'll see a low-scoring game when they host the Chicago Bulls Wednesday night. Chicago has been held to 99 points or fewer in four of its last five games, the lone exception an OT win at New York. Under is 6-1 in Bulls last seven overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

11-08-18 | Clippers v. Blazers OVER 225 | Top | 105-116 | Loss | -108 | 15 h 33 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA TOTAL) The LA Clippers have scored 120 points in back-to-back victories and 110 points or more in six straight games. Here they'll face a Portland team off a 118-103 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and the Blazers are averaging a healthy 120.6 ppg home at Moda Center on the season. With both teams in the top 5 for offensive efficiency (the number of points a team scores per 100 possessions) I have no doubt this will be a high-scoring affair. 10* play on LAC @ POR OVER. |

11-04-18 | 76ers v. Nets OVER 226 | Top | 97-122 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA TOTAL) The Philadelphia 76ers have yet to win on the road this season, and while I'm not confident in them covering the spread when playing on rest here at Brooklyn Sunday night I don't think scoring points will be an issue. The 76ers will be facing a Nets side which has lost five straight and allowed 115 points or more in all those contests with all but one of those going over the total. Philly has struggled defensively away from home giving up 122.5 ppg, and for all the Nets woes they've actually scored 111 points or more in four of their last five. Over is 6-0 in 76ers last six games playing on no rest and 6-1 in their last seven road games. 10* G.O.W on OVER. |

10-30-18 | Clippers v. Thunder OVER 224 | Top | 110-128 | Win | 100 | 21 h 26 m | Show |
NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY (10* TOP PLAY) The Oklahoma City Thunder recorded their first win of the season with a 117-110 home triumph over the Suns on Sunday. Russell Westbrook missed the first two games of the season following knee surgery but led the team with 23 points, nine rebounds and seven assists against Phoenix. The LA Clippers are off a 136-104 win over the Washington Wizards and have now scored 130+ points in two straight games. The Clippers beat the Westbrook-less Thunder 108-92 on Oct. 19, but I think we'll see a closer game with a higher score here with the OKC superstar back in the mix. Over is 5-1 in Clippers last six games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Over is 7-1 in the last eight meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* play on OVER. |

10-28-18 | Jazz v. Mavs OVER 213 | Top | 113-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA TOTAL) The Utah Jazz defeated the Pelicans 132-111 Saturday night. I think we'll see another high-scoring affair involving the Jazz when they visit Dallas Saturday evening. The Mavs have been giving up an average of 118.6 points through their first five games and Utah has scored 123 points or more in three of its five games. The Jazz might struggle with fatigue and intensity on the defensive end of the court playing on no rest, giving the Mavs some easy buckets. Trends supporting the Over: Over is 12-5 in Jazz last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 5-1 in Mavericks last six vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - MIKE'S TOP RATED *BEST BET* TOTAL The over/under is 27-12 in the NBA so far this season, and I think we'll see another game fly over the total when the Charlotte Hornets visit the Toronto Raptors Monday night. Charlotte has scored at least 113 points in each of its first three games of the season with a 115.0 ppg average. Kemba Walker is 19-of-38 from behind the arc so far in 2018-19 and scored a total of 39 points a 113-112 win over Miami on Saturday. Toronto is off to a perfect 3-0 start and has averaged 115.3 ppg. Kawhi Leonard has averaged 27.5 points and 11 rebounds in two games and should be well rested here after sitting out Saturday's 117-113 win at Washington. Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings. 10* play on OVER. |

THUNDER @ WARRIORS BASKET BRAWLER (10* TOP PLAY) Both Oklahoma City Thunder and Golden State Warriors are extremely talented with the ball in their hands and play high-paced basketball, but I think the bookmakers have set the total too high for this contest. OKC allowed an average of 104.4 ppg last season while Golden State allowed 107.5 ppg and there's a good chance the shooting will be off for several players here in the season opener. Trends supporting the under: Under is 11-5 in Thunder last 16 overall. Under is 11-3 in Warriors last 14 overall. Under is 10-1 in the last 11 meetings in Golden State. Under is 13-3 in the last 16 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

06-03-18 | Cavs v. Warriors UNDER 215 | Top | 103-122 | Loss | -107 | 15 h 5 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) The Cleveland Cavaliers gave Golden State Warriors a scare in Game 1 of the series, and would probably have won the game in regulation if not for a missed free throw at 107-107 with only seconds left on clock. The Warriors could instead win the game by 10 points in overtime, and I think they'll cruise to a blowout win here while holding the Cavs offense in check. Cleveland superstar LeBron James couldn't have played any better in Game 1 (51 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists), and to still lose after such a performance must be deflating. Under is 8-3-2 in the last 13 meetings in Golden State. Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings. 10* NBA Game of the Week: UNDER. 8* Bonus Play: Golden State Warriors ATS. |

TOP RATED NBA FINALS GAME 1 *BEST BET* TOTAL For the fourth year in a row, the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors will meet in the NBA Finals. I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring game here in the opener. Cleveland was among the worst defensive teams in the NBA during the regular season, but the Cavs have stepped the intensity on defense here in the postseason and held the Celtics to fewer than 100 points in each of the last three games of the Eastern Conference Finals. Kevin Love is in the league’s concussion protocol after colliding with Boston’s Jayson Tatum in Game 6 of that series and will need to complete a series of tests before he's cleared to return. The Warriors held the Rockets to fewer than 100 points in each of the last five games of the Western Conference Finals. Primarily known for their offensive capabilities, it's also worth noting that State has held opponents to an average of 100.3 ppg here in the postseason. Under is 4-0 in Cavaliers last 4 road games. Under is 5-0 in Warriors last five overall. Under is 8-2-2 in the last 12 meetings at Oracle Arena. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED ROCKETS @ WARRIORS TOTAL Golden State Warriors (113.5) and Houston Rockets (112.4) owned the highest points scored per game average over the regular season. Playoff basketball is a completely different animal though, and both teams have played aggressive defense so far here in the Western Conference Finals, and that will certainly be the case again here in Game 6. Note that both of the last two games stayed under 200 points! The books have caught on, and this is the lowest total we've seen in a matchup between these two teams for many years, but I'm confident they know what they're doing and are looking to make bank on people just seeing the (relatively) low number. Under is 7-1 in Rockets last eight games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 7-1 in Warriors last eight overall. Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings. 10* play on UNDER. |

TOP RATED 76ERS @ CELTICS TOTAL *BOOKIE BREAKER* The Philadelphia 76ers defeated Miami in five games in the first round, and they really turned up the heat defensively at the end of the series. The Boston Celtics relied on solid defensive performances at home as they needed seven games to get past the Bucks. Philadelphia won the last meeting 89-80 here at TD Garden, and three of the last four head-to-head matchups have gone under the total. Under is 10-3 in 76ers last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

TOP RATED PELS @ WARRIORS GAME 1 TOTAL The New Orleans Pelicans are not getting much respect here despite coming off a dominant sweep of the third-seeded Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs. The Pels may very well be underrated here, but I have my eyes on the total which is set extremely high for a playoff game. Note that under is 4-0 in Pelicans last four Conference Semifinals games and 6-1 in their last seven road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

TOP RATED 10* PELICANS @ BLAZERS TOTAL The New Orleans Pelicans stole a 97-95 victory in Saturday's opener with the total closing at 216.5. I think we'll see another relatively low-scoring contest here in Game 2. New Orleans played excellent defense in Game 1 and held Portland to 31.9 percent shooting from the field, including 3-of-17 from behind the arc. Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combined for just three points on 1-of-15 shooting in the first half, which the Blazers finished trailing 45-36. "We just didn't make shots," said Lillard. "Give credit to what they did defensively. They were physical, and they were trapping a lot of my pick-and-rolls." Expect more of the same tonight. Under is 8-2-1 in Pelicans last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-0 in Trail Blazers last five vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

TOP RATED 10* NBA *BOOKIE BREAKER* TOTAL The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a huge 108-102 triumph at top-seeded Houston Rockets on Saturday. They can clinch a playoff spot with a win here against Miami Heat at American Airlines Arena Monday night, so I have no doubt that they'll bring it on the defensive end of the court. The Heat are already in the playoffs but took a brutal 122-98 loss to the New York Knicks on Friday, so they no doubt want to do better defensively here. Under is 23-11 in Heat's last 34 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Under is 4-0 in OKC's last four road games, 7-1 in its last eight overall and 20-6 in its last 26 Monday games. Under is 7-0 in Miami's last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

TOP RATED 10* NBA *PLAY OF THE DAY* (TOTAL) The Philadelphia 76ers have won 11 in a row following a 121-95 win over Brooklyn last night. They'll be without All-Star center Joel Embiid (orbital fracture) and Dario Saric (elbow), and we can note that under is 5-2 in 76ers last seven games playing on no days rest. The Detroit Pistons have won five in a row and seven of eight to stay alive in the playoff race in the East. They held Brooklyn to 96 points their last time out and under is 15-4-2 in Pistons last 21 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 12-3 in 76ers last 15 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* play on PHI @ DET to go UNDER the total. |

04-01-18 | Suns v. Warriors UNDER 215 | Top | 107-117 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 37 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA *BOOKIE BREAKER* TOTAL The Golden State Warriors will play on no rest following a 112-96 win at Sacramento last night. They have six games left of the regular season but little to play for with the Rockets already having clinched the best record in the league and the Warriors themselves clinched the No. 2 seed in the West. Stephen Curry is expected to miss the rest of the regular season so the Warriors must avoid more injuries and keep the rest of their stars fresh which means more time on the floor for their fringe players. Under is 7-2 in Warriors last nine home games and they'll face a Phoenix team which may have lost four straight, but the Suns are coming off three straight impressive efforts against Boston, the LA Clippers and Houston. Under is 6-0 in Suns last six overall and 11-1 in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on PHX @ GS to go UNDER the total. |

03-30-18 | Wolves v. Mavs UNDER 217 | Top | 93-92 | Win | 100 | 23 h 59 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA *BASKET BRAWLER (TOTAL) The Minnesota Timberwolves ended a two-game skid with a 126-114 triumph over Atlanta on Wednesday. They enter this contest at seventh place in the Western Conference 1 1/2 games up on the ninth-place LA Clippers, so they'll have everything to play for. I think we'll see good defending and way fewer points scored than their last time out when they visit the Dallas Mavericks Friday night. The tanking Mavs have played three straight unders and we can note that under is 9-1-1 in Timberwolves last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Wolves have won four straight meetings, the most recent a 97-92 win home at Minnesota. Each of the last seven matchups in the series have gone under the total. 10* play on MIN @ DAL to go UNDER the total. |

03-23-18 | Clippers v. Pacers UNDER 219 | Top | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 17 h 32 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA *BOOKIE BREAKER* We should see two highly motivated teams playing hard defense with the LA Clippers battling to get back into the race for a playoff spot in the Western Conference and the Indiana Pacers drawing closer to clinching a playoff berth and trying to catch the Cavs for third place in the East. Only one of the Pacers' last 12 games have gone over the total while the Clippers have played four straight overs, but the under is 10-4 in their last 14 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. These two teams had played three straight unders with the total set at an average of 205 points before the last meeting went over with 213 points and the total closing at 207. That would still not be enough to cover this line, and I think this game will go under without any problem. My selection is a 10* play on LAC @ IND to go UNDER the total. |

03-21-18 | Pacers v. Pelicans UNDER 219.5 | Top | 92-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* NBA *BOOKIE BREAKER* Only one of the Indiana Pacers' last 11 games have gone over the total, and I think the books have set the number way too high once again when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans Wednesday night. The Pels had played three straight unders prior to a 115-105 triumph over Dallas (with the total closing at 218.5). Under is 16-4-1 in Pelicans last 21 overall vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 8-1-1 in Pacers last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Pelicans posted a 117-112 victory at Indiana on Nov. 7, but eight of the last 10 meetings have gone under the total and none of those games closed with the total set as high as this. My selection is a 10* play on IND @ NOP to go UNDER the total. |

03-20-18 | Rockets v. Blazers OVER 214.5 | Top | 115-111 | Win | 100 | 24 h 56 m | Show |
TOP RATED 10* ROCKETS @ BLAZERS BEST BET The red hot Houston Rockets (won 26 of their last 28) will visit the equally hot Portland Trail Blazers (won 13 in a row) Tuesday night, and I think the total is set way too low considering both teams ability to shoot the 3-ball. Portland is hitting 38% of its shots from behind the arc with an average of 10.5 made per game while Houston is averaging a league-best 15.4 3-pointers per game. Six of the last seven meetings have gone over the total, all with a higher number than what we see here today, and we can note that over is 8-1 in Trail Blazers last nine games when taking on a team with a winning % above .600. My selection is a 10* play on HOU @ POR to go OVER the total. |

03-19-18 | Lakers v. Pacers UNDER 219.5 | Top | 100-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA) The Indiana Pacers had won six of seven before taking back-to-back losses to Toronto and Washington. They've been involved in several low-scoring games lately, and I think the bookmakers have set the total way too high for this contest. The Pacers had seen nine straight games go under the total before losing 109-102 to Washington (with the total closing at 210). They'll take on a Lakers team which lost 92-91 against Miami its last time out and each of its last three games have gone under the total. The Lakers won the last meeting 99-86 back in January (with the total closing at 214). Under is 16-9 when the Pacers are looking to avenge a loss vs. an opponent this season. My NBA Game of the Month is a 10* play on LAL @ IND to go UNDER the total. |
