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. |

12-31-20 | Cavs v. Pacers UNDER 217 | 99-119 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 33 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY The Cleveland Cavaliers have opened the season surprisingly well, coming into this contest with a 3-1 record SU and ATS on the season. They defeated Charlotte, Detroit and Philadelphia as underdogs, before losing as a favorite against the Knicks last time out. I think they'll be a handful for the Pacers who are coming off two tough games against the Celtics. Cavaliers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a home favorite. In addition to Cleveland covering the spread, I also like the under. The Cavs have a top 5 scoring defense on the season while Indiana ranks #9. 8* play on UNDER. |

12-30-20 | Blazers v. Clippers OVER 225 | 105-128 | Win | 100 | 1 h 38 m | Show | |
BLAZERS @ CLIPPERS 8* NBA TOTAL The Blazers are shooting the ball well, but they have struggled on the defensive end. I think the Clippers will get easy buckets and Portland's three-point shooting will help to push the final score over the posted total. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
12-25-20 | Mavs v. Lakers UNDER 227.5 | 115-138 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 36 m | Show | |
MAVS @ LAKERS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER The Los Angeles Lakers fell into a big hole early in a loss to the Clippers on opening night, possibly distracted by the pregame ring ceremony pregame. I think LeBron and A.D will make sure to have the team more focused for this one, particularly on the defensive end where the Lakers can be extremely dominant when they turn it up. Dallas is coming off a low-scoring 106-102 loss at Phoenix. Under is 8-3 in Mavericks last 11 road games. Under is 12-4 in Lakers last 16 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
12-22-20 | Warriors v. Nets UNDER 231.5 | 99-125 | Win | 100 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ NETS 8* NBA OPENING NIGHT TOTAL The 2020/21 NBA season tips-off with the Golden State Warriors @ Brooklyn Nets matchup at 7:00 PM ET Tuesday. Sure, the Warriors’ best defensive player, Draymond Green, is out, but I still think this game goes under the total as the shooting is likely to be off as players shake off the rust from the offseason. Under is 4-0 in Warriors last 4 games as a road underdog. Under is 8-3 in Nets last 11 games as a favorite. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
09-19-20 | Celtics v. Heat UNDER 206.5 | 117-106 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show | |
CELTICS VS HEAT ECF GAME 3 BOOKIE BREAKER The Boston Celtics are 9-2 to the under in their last 11 games, both games that went over the total doing so because of overtime. The Miami Heat are 7-4 to the under in the playoffs. The Celtics have managed to fall behind 2-0 in the Eastern Conference finals after late collapses in both games. I think they'll make it a point to stay consistent on defense through the whole game in this one. 8* 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. |
|||||||
09-06-20 | Rockets v. Lakers UNDER 224 | 109-117 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
ROCKETS VS LAKERS GAME 2 TOTAL The Houston Rockets limited the Lakers to 97 points on 42% shooting from the field and 11-of-38 (29%) from behind the arc. The Rockets have really stepped it up on the defensive end lately and the Lakers have trouble countering Houston's small ball approach. "The playoffs (are) about making adjustments," Harden said after Game 1. " ... We've got to be even better in Game 2, because the principles and the schemes and all that stuff will ramp up, so guys gotta be even more engaged." I think the Rockets will give the Lakers all they can handle once again here in Game 2 of this Western Conference semi-finals series. In addition to the Rockets to cover the spread, I also like this contest to go under the total. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
09-06-20 | Bucks v. Heat UNDER 219 | 118-115 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
BUCKS VS. HEAT TOTAL I really thought the Milwaukee Bucks would show their teeth and edge their way back into the series with a win in Game 3. Instead, they once again folded in the fourth quarter, and I just don't see any other outcome than a Miami sweep now. The Milwaukee players and coaches surely must know that history is against them and looked absolutely deflated and helpless after the most recent setback. The Heat on the other hand must feel invincible but also know they have to be cautious to not let anything disturb their momentum. Heat are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 playoff games as a favorite. Bucks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Additionally, I like the under as Giannis Antetokounmpo twisted his right ankle early in Friday's loss and is questionable heading into Sunday's Game 4. The Bucks scored just 100 points last time out, and scoring won't be any easier without their superstar. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
09-04-20 | Rockets v. Lakers UNDER 226 | 112-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
ROCKETS VS LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER The Houston Rockets clamped down on defense in three games of their Western Conference first-round series against Oklahoma City Thunder, allowing just 80, 104, and 102 points respectively. The Lakers last two games against Portland both saw 250+ points, but the first three went under the total. Under is 7-2 in Rockets last 9 playoff games as an underdog and 10-4 in Rockets last 14 overall. The over/under us 22-25-1 in the playoffs and I can't help but think the total for this contest is inflated. 8* play on UNDER 226. |
|||||||
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 | Celtics v. Heat OVER 222.5 | 106-112 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
CELTICS VS HEAT NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Boston Celtics have already been involved in two shootouts in the NBA Bubble, first when they took a 119-112 loss to Milwaukee and then when defeating Portland 128-114 last time out. I expect to see them involved in another high-scoring contest as they take on the Miami Heat Tuesday night. The Celtics have a lot of scoring depth, and Miami is more than capable of heating up from behind the arc like it did in its 125-115 win over Denver the other night when it shot 45 percent from 3-point land. Over is 8-2 in Celtics last 10 games as a favorite. Over is 10-4 in Heat last 14 overall. 8* play on OVER 222.5. |
|||||||
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. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Pelicans v. Clippers OVER 226.5 | 103-126 | Win | 100 | 15 h 12 m | Show | |
PELICANS VS CLIPPERS SATURDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL Every single game on Friday's NBA card went over the total as shooters look more relaxed and there is no crowd to hype up a strong defensive effort. Whether this is a trend that will continue throughout the regular season remains to be seen, but I expect this matchup between the Pelicans and the Clippers to go over the total. Additionally, with both teams in action for the first time recently, we might see some stiff legs which usually reflects in poor defensive efforts. Note that Over is 9-4 in the Pelicans last 13 games as an underdog and 4-1 in their last five head-to-head meetings with the Clippers. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
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. |
|||||||
03-11-20 | Knicks v. Hawks OVER 230 | 136-131 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - KNICKS @ HAWKS TOTAL The Hawks are 20-12 ATS in all home games on the season and 5-2 SU and ATS as home favorites, including a 140-135 win over the Knicks on Feb 9. They've had a day off since defeating Charlotte in double overtime on Monday while the New York Knicks were in action last night when they took a 122-115 loss at Washington. The Knicks are 2-7 ATS when playing on back-to-back nights this season and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. I don't think the visitors will stand much of a chance in this one. Additionally, I also like the over as: Over is 6-2 in Knicks last 8 overall. Over is 18-8 in Hawks last 26 overall. Over is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings. Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Atlanta. 8* play on OVER. |

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. |
|||||||
03-07-20 | Kings v. Blazers OVER 230 | 123-111 | Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - KINGS @ BLAZERS The Sacramento Kings have split their last two games despite giving up 125 and 126 points respectively. Here they'll face a Portland team that took a 127-117 loss at Phoenix last time out and it is 3-1 to the over in its last four games. We saw a total of 243 points scored when these two teams clashed back in December, and I expect another run-and-gun type of game tonight. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-07-20 | 76ers v. Warriors OVER 226.5 | 114-118 | Win | 100 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - 76ERS @ WARRIORS The Golden State Warriors took a 121-113 loss to Toronto last time out, but it's not all doom-and-gloom in the Warriors camp at the moment. Steph Curry was back in action for the first time since suffering a broken hand on Oct. 30, and he contributed a team-high 23 points in 27 minutes. Here they'll host a Philadelphia team that is without star players Joel Embiid (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back), but it still managed to defeat Sacramento 125-108 last time out. Each of the Sixers last four games has gone over the total, and I think this will be another relatively high-scoring affair. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-07-20 | Rockets v. Hornets OVER 221.5 | 99-108 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - ROCKETS @ HORNETS The Houston Rockets have allowed 120+ points in back-to-back games, both losses to NY Knicks and the LA Clippers. Over is 8-0 in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, and the 21-41 Charlotte Hornets fit that bill. Charlotte has dropped three in a row but, it put up a decent performance offensively with 49 percent shooting from the field in a 114-112 loss to Denver last time out. It did allow Denver to shoot 51 percent though, and I expect both teams to put up plenty of points in this one. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-05-20 | Raptors v. Warriors OVER 226 | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Raptors who will be looking to build on the momentum of a 123-114 win at Phoenix. The triumph put an end to a three-game losing streak for the Raptors, and they need to go on a run to keep the other contenders at bay at the top of the division. As for the Golden State Warriors, while they've won two of their last three, the team they put on the floor those days lacks talent. Big letdown spot for the Warriors in this one following a 16-point win over Denver, and we can note that Golden State is just 4-8 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and 11-19 ATS in all home games this season. Additionally, note that over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Grizzlies v. Nets OVER 224.5 | 118-79 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK The energy levels in the Brooklyn Nets camp can't be all the high following a 129-120 OT win at Boston last night. I think the Memphis Grizzlies will make sure to drive up the tempo, forcing the Nets to run up and down the floor with them. Both teams rank in the top 10 for tempo (possessions per game) so playing slow is not the preference of either team anyhow. Over is 6-1 in Grizzlies last 7 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 4-1 in Nets last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on OVER. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Jazz v. Knicks UNDER 220 | 112-104 | Win | 100 | 19 h 31 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK Both the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks are playing at a tempo that ranks in the bottom third of the league. Additionally, while the Knicks are coming off back-to-back 125 point games, note that they're 28th on the season at just 105.4 ppg on average. Utah has been involved in several high-scoring affairs of late, most recently a 126-113 triumph at Cleveland, but I think this contest will stay under the posted total. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Pacers v. Bucks OVER 222 | 100-119 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK The Milwaukee Bucks have been held to fewer than 94 points in back-to-back games, but I think they'll break out of the scoring funk in this matchup with Indiana. The over is 6-2 in Pacers last 8 games as an underdog and 15-6 in their last 21 games playing on 1 days rest, which they will be at here following a 116-11 triumph at San Antonio Monday night. 8* play on OVER. |

03-03-20 | Wizards v. Kings OVER 232.5 | 126-133 | Win | 100 | 14 h 23 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT WIZARDS @ KINGS TOTAL The Washington Wizards are 14-2 to the over in road games where the total is greater than or equal to 230 points this season. This is the final stop of a three-game road trip, with the first two games both going over the total (129-119 loss at Utah, 124-110 win at Golden State). The Sacramento Kings are coming off a low-scoring 106-100 win over Detroit, but note that over still is 7-3 in Kings last 10 home games. 8* play on OVER. |

03-03-20 | Warriors v. Nuggets UNDER 216.5 | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ NUGGETS TOTAL The depleted Golden State Warriors have struggled with their points production all season, and that has certainly also been the case during their current 1-9 stretch. They're 7-3 to the under in those games and here they'll run into an elite Denver team that sure knows how to play defense and will be looking for a more complete performance after giving up 118 to Toronto last time out. While the Nuggets have been involved in mostly high-scoring games lately, I expect this one to stay under the posted total. 8* 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. |

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. |

BLAZERS @ PACERS THURSDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers are struggling without injured All-Star point guard Damian Lillard (groin). They've dropped four of their last five games, and here they'll face an elite defensive team in the Indiana Pacers that held Charlotte to 80 points last time out. Indiana is 4-1 to the under in its last five overall and 2-0 to the under after allowing 85 points or fewer on the season. 8* 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. |

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. |

KINGS @ BUCKS MONDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Sacramento Kings are coming off a 122-102 win over San Antonio. The over/under is 16-8 in Kings' games when the total is greater than or equal to 220 on the season and 11-3 in their last 14 overall. Here they'll face a Milwaukee side that is averaging more points per game than any other team in the league and the over is 16-5 in the Bucks' last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings. Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee. 8* play on OVER. |

02-09-20 | Jazz v. Rockets OVER 232 | 114-113 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
JAZZ @ ROCKETS SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Houston Rockets had averaged 122.8 ppg through a four-game winning streak before coming out flat in a 127-91 loss at Phoenix last time out. Here they'll face a Utah Jazz team that just snapped a four-game skid with a 117-114 triumph over Portland and will be looking to keep the momentum going. Over is 7-1 in Jazz last 8 road games and 18-6 in their last 24 Sunday games. Over is 15-6 in Jazz games when the total is greater than or equal to 220 points and 2-0 when the total is greater than or equal to 230. 8* play on OVER. |

02-08-20 | Spurs v. Kings OVER 224.5 | Top | 102-122 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 45 m | Show |
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. |

02-07-20 | Blazers v. Jazz OVER 226.5 | 114-117 | Win | 100 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
BLAZERS @ JAZZ LATE NIGHT TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers have played four straight overs following a 125-117 win over San Antonio Thursday night. Facing a defensively challenged Portland side with heavy legs just might be what Utah needs to break out of its five-game slump. Last time out, the Jazz were held to 95 points by Denver, but note that over is 9-3 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 6-1 in Trail Blazers last seven games as an underdog. 8* play on OVER. |

02-07-20 | Raptors v. Pacers OVER 218.5 | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
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. |
