04-11-23 | Wolves +8.5 v. Lakers | Top | 102-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
We can’t deny that the Timberwolves are a circus right now with everything going on with this team right now. But with all the negative media attention, plus the Lakers being one of the biggest public betting teams in all of sports, this line has been way over adjusted. Minnesota still had a solid team to bring to the court tonight, and they have covered in six of the last seven meetings and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 trips to LA to play the Lakers. Some very nice value in this line tonight. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Blazers v. Spurs -4 | Top | 127-129 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
It’s not often that we see the Spurs listed as a favorite, but here we are. And we think it’s very justified for this game tonight. Both teams have skeleton rosters here. But the Spurs have the better roster here and home-court advantage. Plus, they are in a better state mentally than the Blazers. The Spurs have been tanking all season and they know what they are. The Blazers had high expectations this season and fell well below them, and this franchise will be facing a lot of changes soon. The Spurs are just further ahead in their plan and we think that translates on the court tonight. They also have a winning record as a rare favorite and have covered in five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
04-05-23 | Lakers v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 118-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
We liked the rested Clippers before we saw the Lakers use tons of energy last night vs. Utah, and now this looks like an even worse spot for them against the Clippers, a team that has owned them in recent years. The Clippers have won and covered five straight in the series. They are coming off two straight losses and they need a win badly here. The Lakers have played two grueling road games since the Clippers last played, and they needed OT last night to get by Utah, so this is a supersized back-to-back and their third game in four nights. Tough task against a Clippers team desperate for a win. |
|||||||
03-31-23 | Knicks v. Cavs UNDER 221 | Top | 130-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Two very good defensive teams here and we see points being hard to come by tonight. The Knicks are coming off a spectacular defensive performance where they held the Heat to 92 points. Cleveland has held two of their last five opponents under the century mark. The Cavs are the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA for points allowed, and they have had two nights off, so they will have plenty of energy for lock-down defense. The under is 4-1 in their last five playing with two days of rest. The Knicks are trending to the under, with four straight going under the posted total. The last two meetings both went under, and the finals were well under tonight’s posted number. |
|||||||
03-27-23 | 76ers v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
The Sixers two best players are questionable here and this Philly team is reeling a bit. They have lost two straight and three of four, and those losses weren’t pretty. Denver has won and covered three straight and four of five, and it seems this team’s recent struggles are in the rearview mirror. Denver matches up well here and this team seems to have raised their level of play lately and in the last few games this team looks like a squad that can beat anyone. We think they will want to make a statement in this possible NBA Finals preview. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Xavier +4.5 v. Texas | Top | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #645 Xavier over Texas (9:45p.m., Friday, March 24 CBS) NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR. Just feel this will be too big of stage for Texas and their interim coach. Rodney Terry still has not been given the full time gig yet and I feel that will be a detriment to them in this game. The Musketeers have had a ton of success in the NCAA Tournament and Sean Miller has had good success at this level as well. Texas has not been at this round since 2008 prior to this run and they have not had much NCAA Tournament success in the last 15 years. Xavier is a great offensive team and that is something Texas did not see much of in the Big 12 this season. Texas plays in the better conference but I still do not believe they have seen an offensive team like Xavier will show on Friday. Xavier is 25-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 35 NCAA tournament games. Texas is 2-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 NCAA Tournament games. Teams have struggled to score all tournament long and giving up this many points does not bode well for Texas. Take the points, as Xavier does not need them and marches onto the Elite 8. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Spurs v. Wizards UNDER 228 | Top | 124-136 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
The Spurs have gone under in three straight, and their offense has been abysmal. They have scored 94 and 84 in their last two games. This team has a questionable roster to begin with, but they are very banged up right now, although they should get some players back from injury tonight. But this roster hasn’t had much continuity lately, and we don’t see their offense getting back into a flow tonight. The Wizards have an underrated defense. They are also trending to the under, as five of their last seven have gone under the posted number. This Spurs defense is bad. But it’s unlikely that they allow anywhere near the 130 they gave up to Milwaukee last time. The Wizards offense is Bottom 10 in the league for scoring, and two of their Top 3 scorers are out tonight.  |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Thunder v. Clippers -4 | Top | 105-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a strong revenge spot for the Clippers after the Thunder edged them here on Tuesday. Not only is this a revenge spot, but the Clippers are mad/frustrated with their performance on Tuesday as they had the ball with a near full shot clock down 1 at the end of the game and didn’t even get a shot off. Paul George will miss this game and all the others to end the regular season. But Kawhi and a deep roster around him should be able to pick up the slack against a Thunder team that has been playing above their heads recently. |
|||||||
03-18-23 | 76ers v. Pacers +6.5 | Top | 141-121 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
There is some reverse line movement here as the majority of the cash is on the Sixers but the odds have moved the other way, which is always a good sign since we were really high on the Pacers to start off with. The Sixers are playing great, but they are on a back-to-back here and playing their third game in four nights, while the Pacers are well rested here with Friday off. Philly has been playing very well, but they should be tired here and we don’t see them giving 100%. These teams played two weeks ago, here in Indiana, and the Sixers had to rally for a four-point win. We think Indiana can do even better here and possibly win outright. Indiana needs to win games down the stretch to make the play in. So they will be the more motivated team. Philly traditionally struggles in this matchup as they are 0-4 ATS in the last four visits to Indiana and 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings overall. |
|||||||
03-18-23 | Duke -3 v. Tennessee | Top | 52-65 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 50 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #803 Duke over Tennessee (2:40p.m., Saturday, March CBS) Rick Barnes is a loser and we have faded him numerous times in the postseason and been highly successful doing it. Duke is playing as well as anybody in the country and will enter this game having won 9 straight games. The Blue Devils have the size to matchup with Tennessee and are much better on the perimeter without Zakai Zeigler playing. The Volunteers are 1-7 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Duke is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. |
|||||||
03-17-23 | Wizards v. Cavs UNDER 221.5 | Top | 94-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Cleveland has gone over in the last four games, but we are getting a great number here as the oddsmakers have overadjusted. Cleveland has the No. 1 scoring defense in the league. We expect them to hold Washington to a real low total. The Wizards are underrated defensively. They are in the top half of the league for points allowed. The under has gone 6-2 in the last eight meetings, and we think that is where the value is tonight. Cleveland is coming off a blowout loss to Philly last time out, and we think they will step up the defense here against an inferior team. This one has a chance to be a blowout, which would bode well for the under. |
|||||||
03-15-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 126-134 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
10-Unit Play Take LA Clippers -2.5 over Golden State (10 p.m. EST, Wed March 15) Something has finally clicked with the Clippers. After a season of trials and tribulations, this team finally is playing at the level that most expected coming into the season. And tonight is their most important game of the season as they are tied with the Warriors and a game behind the Suns. By the end of the weekend, if all goes according to plan, Los Angeles could see themselves in the Top 4 in the West. After a season of major ups and downs, LA is in a great position to get a decent seed and do some damage in the postseason. But they need a win tonight. And we think they do just that. This team is well rested and has had three nights off coming into this super important game. The Warriors are coming off consecutive wins over the Bucks and Suns. So they are in a letdown spot here. And this team has been horrible on the road this season. They are 7-26 on the road. And they are 8-23-1 ATS on the road. A healthy and clicking Clippers team is better than the Warriors, and we think they prove that on the court tonight. Best of Luck, Doc's Sports |
|||||||
03-14-23 | Knicks -2 v. Blazers | Top | 123-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
There is a chance this line could move through the day depending on the status of Damian Lillard for Portland, but we like the Knicks for a comfortable win even if the Blazers star plays. The Knicks are often underrated on the road, where they have played excellent basketball this season, and are 23-12 ATS on the road. This current road trip hasn’t gone the best, with a head-scratching loss in Charlotte and losses to playoff teams in the Clippers and Kings. So there will be a little bit or extra urgency here to salvage the road trip. Brunson will likely miss this game for the Knicks. But this is a more complete team than the Blazers, and we think New York will be fine without him. This is the Blazers first home game after a long road trip and that can often be tricky for a team as the players often have their minds on personal business rather than the task at hand. |
|||||||
03-09-23 | Rockets v. Pacers -9 | Top | 125-134 | Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
The Pacers are not a great team. But they can score. And they will be highly motivated here as they are a couple games out of the Play In Tournament. They know that if they don’t get a convincing win here, that they don’t belong in the postseason. We think they get the job done. The Rockets are one of the most tanking teams right now, and they have covered only two of their last nine games. Both of those were against the Spurs, another tanking club, so maybe that was just a case of San Antonio wanting the loss more. They aren’t covering despite some very generous lines from the oddsmakers. Indiana has covered six of seven, so they have been a money machine lately and underrated by the oddsmakers. The Pacers are 21-13 ATS at home, and they normally take care of business against bad teams. The Rockets are 11-22 ATS on the road, where they normally get massive spreads like we see tonight. Houston normally doesn’t play well here and they are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Indiana. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Raptors v. Clippers -2 | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
The Clippers have been a schizophrenic team, but when they start playing well they can string together some good games. They are healthy and they snapped their losing streak last time out vs. the Grizzlies. They also played well in a one-point loss at Sacramento before that. We think they are primed for a win and a cover here. Kawhi will no doubt want to play well against his former team, and this just looks like a game where the Clips Big Two could potentially go off for a big game. You know the Clippers stars like their rest, and this team has had two nights off. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 65-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #680 Wisconsin over Ohio State (6:30p.m., Wednesday, March 8 BTN) All season long the odds makers and metrics have overrated this Ohio State team. They were a quad 1 team for most of the season despite having a losing record. They won two home games down the stretch but they have won just 3 games since January 2nd. Wisconsin is playing for their NCAA Tournament lives and already beat this Ohio State team in Columbus back in February. The Badgers got right on offense on Sunday against Minnesota and look for that to continue on Wednesday. Ohio State is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss in their previous game. Wisconsin is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Blazers v. Magic -2 | Top | 122-119 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Portland has been on the wrong end of some blowouts lately, in five of their last six games. Orlando is sneaky good this season and they will not hesitate to take advantage of a team on a slump. They have won two straight and three of four in this series and we see another comfortable win here on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Tennessee v. Auburn -2 | Top | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #620 Auburn over Tennessee (2p.m., Saturday, March 4 ESPN) Unranked team that is favored against a ranked team is always a great indicator to play the favorite. Auburn played outstanding against Alabama last time out and they will win this game by close to double digits today. Just not been a fan of Tennessee this season and feel this lack on offensive punch to make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament. Throw in the fact they lost their point guard for this game in Zakai Zeigler and I see them being a quick out in both the conference and NCAA Tournaments. Tennessee is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Auburn is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a loss in their previous game. Auburn has revenge and is the more desperate team, needing a win to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Nets v. Celtics -11 | Top | 115-105 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
We don’t get in the habit of taking NBA double-digit favorites, but we think it is justified in this situation. After the trade deadline, the Nets are sinking and will be lucky to make the play in once all is said and done for the regular season. This team is clearly looking towards next season. They have lost four straight, three by double digits, and two by 20+. In their last game, they allowed 142 to the Knicks. They have allowed 129 or more in three of their last four. That doesn’t bode well against what is, in our opinion, the best team in the league. This Boston team is a covering machine lately. This is one of the most poised, veteran clubs out there – not to mention one of the most talented – and they aren’t a team that is going to take many nights off or overlook an opponent. We think they bring their A Game here as the playoffs are quickly approaching. They are right on the heels of the Bucks for the No. 1 seed, so they know every game is important down the stretch. They have won the last three meetings by double digits (they have covered in six straight meetings), and they won by 40+ at the start of February against a stronger Nets team.  This one looks like blowout city to us. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | 76ers -1.5 v. Heat | Top | 119-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
This sets up as a nice revenge spot for the Heat’s win Monday in Philly. That was a rare cover for them recently, which shows the oddsmakers have been continuously overrating them. Philly is 14-6 ATS as a small favorite this season, and they are clearly the better team in this matchup. Miami has been one of the worst ATS teams all season and they continue to get too much respect from the oddsmakers. Revenge is an overrated handicapping angle in the NBA UNLESS these teams played recently, and that is certainly the case here. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | Wolves v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
The Clippers have been inconsistent but they still have been a better bet this season than the Wolves, and we think they will want to bring their A Game tonight and leave nothing to chance after a pair of OT losses to Sacramento and Denver. The Wolves have covered in only one of the last seven meetings to LA and we think they are in for a tough game tonight. |
|||||||
02-24-23 | Thunder +7.5 v. Suns | Top | 115-124 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
Love the Thunder in this spot. The Suns will be shorthanded as Durant will likely be postponing his Suns debut. The Thunder are on a back-to-back here but they have been solid in these situations at 4-3 ATS on the season. In fact, this is one of the best ATS teams in the NBA on the year. They are 8-2 ATS on the season when getting around this many points. They normally bring their A Game on the road against top teams, where they are 25-9-1 ATS in their last 35 against a team with a winning home record. |
|||||||
02-23-23 | Grizzlies v. 76ers -3.5 | Top | 105-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 1 m | Show |
Teams will want to get off to a strong start for the stretch run after the all-star break, and we think this is a game that the Sixers will want to take very seriously. These teams are somewhat close together record wise but we think the Sixers are the much stronger team, and they should take care of business with a comfortable win here in front of the home faithful. Philly is one of the best betting teams this season at 34-23 ATS, while the Grizzlies have a losing ATS mark. The Sixers are a dominant home team at 23-8, while Memphis does their best work at home as well but is 11-17 on the road. The Sixers won and covered four straight before the break, and we think that momentum will continue here after. The Grizzlies have covered only one of their last six road contests. They have covered in only one of their last six visits to Philly. They are 9-19 ATS in road games this season, while the Sixers have been dominant, at 21-10 ATS at home. Memphis is 3-7 ATS when in an underdog role this season, and we think they come up well short of the cover here tonight |
|||||||
02-10-23 | Knicks v. 76ers UNDER 223 | Top | 108-119 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
These teams played Sunday and the total went under by 21 points. The oddsmakers didn’t make enough of a downward adjustment on this total, in our opinion, and there is nice value here on the under. The under is 18-7 in the last 25 meetings in Philly. It is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings overall. While the offenses will likely make some adjustments from Sunday’s game, we have a lot of wiggle room here for the total even if the offenses play much better. But these are two very good defensive teams. Philly is No. 3 for defense, while the Knicks are right outside the Top 10. But the Knicks have held three of their last four opponents to 104 or less, including these Sixers, and they have stepped up the defense lately. Philly has gone under in four of five, and they have been excellent on the defensive side. We see this one as comfortably under the number. |
|||||||
02-09-23 | Bucks -7.5 v. Lakers | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
The Bucks are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Lakers in Los Angeles, As a small-market team they normally bring their A Game when playing under the bright lights in the big city, and we think that will be the case again tonight. LeBron broke the scoring record last time out and that is one of the biggest stories in the nation, and we think this could create a letdown spot for them. He is also listed as questionable tonight and his status will no doubt move this line, but we like the Bucks for a comfortable win whether he plays or not. The Bucks are in playoff form right now with eight straight wins, and the Lakers are still trying to figure things out. |
|||||||
02-06-23 | Clippers -7.5 v. Nets | Top | 124-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
The Clippers are quietly one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won seven of nine and their two losses were by one in Milwaukee (in a game they led at one point by 20+) and in Cleveland on the second of a B2B when they rested half the team. Tonight they face a very vulnerable Nets team that not only is missing Durant, but they have other key players on the way out of town and others coming in via the Dallas trade. The Nets will try their hardest but they just don’t have the firepower to stay competitive here tonight. LA has covered in seven of their last eight, and we think this team won’t overlook the Nets since they had lots of struggles before things came together for this recent positive run. |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Knicks | Top | 134-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show |
The Clippers at full strength, which they will likely be tonight, have been playing some of the best basketball in the NBA recently. They deserved the win last time out in Milwaukee and controlled most of that game but couldn’t hit any shots late and lost by one. That makes this game against a lesser opponent even more important. The Clippers have covered in six of their last seven games, with the only non cover coming in Cleveland in the game where a lot of key players sat out. With some of those types of games on the schedule, it makes full squad games like this more important, and we think they take care of business here tonight. The Clips have covered in seven of the last nine visits to MSG. |
|||||||
02-04-23 | Illinois v. Iowa -2 | Top | 79-81 | Push | 0 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #666 Iowa over Illinois (2:30p.m., Saturday, February 2 FOX) BIG 10 GAME OF THE YEAR Iowa is the more desperate team in this contest, and they are finally getting healthy. They are 11-2 at home this season and have the best player on the floor in Kris Murray. He is averaging over 20 points per game and look for a big outing from him today in Iowa City. Illinois has been on a nice run of late, but most if not all of that damage has come against bad teams. This includes wins against Ohio State, Nebraska (2), Wisconsin (2) and Minnesota. Iowa is better than all of those teams. We have seen across the country over the last couple of weeks, that parity is here, and the more desperate team usually gets the win. That will be the case again today with Iowa. The Hawkeyes are 45-20 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 68 home games. They are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. They get it done today by close to double-digits. |
|||||||
02-03-23 | Suns +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 106-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad and embarrassing loss as they normally bring their A Game in the next outing. That is the case for the Suns here. They were embarrassed at home by the Hawks last time out, 132-100. NBA players have a lot of pride and ego, and good teams don’t often fail to show up in consecutive games. And the Suns had been playing well as they had won six of seven entering that game. Boston has been winning, but they have covered only one of their last seven games as the oddsmakers are posting too high of spreads. They probably won’t be on their A Game against this out-of-conference foe. The Suns aren’t a big underdog often, but they are 5-2 ATS when getting five or more points. The Suns have also had great betting success here in Boston as they have covered in eight of the last 11 meetings. They have also covered in 10 of the last 14 meetings overall. |
|||||||
01-31-23 | Clippers v. Bulls OVER 225.5 | Top | 108-103 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
The Clippers offense has finally found its stride and the oddsmakers haven’t adjusted enough. We had this total handicapped in the low 230s, so there is insane value on this total tonight. The Clippers had a dud of an offensive game last time out, but half the team was scratched before the game and they played the Cavs, one of the best defensive teams in the league. But prior to that outing, the Clips had scored 120 or more in four of their previous five games. They have gone over in six of their last eight games, and we see the pace and scoring here being fluid and see a competitive game where both teams get their share of the total. |
|||||||
01-30-23 | Raptors v. Suns -1.5 | Top | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show |
The Suns have won five of six. They are getting healthier and trending upwards. We think this line is more than fair for the home team tonight. The Raptors normally don’t play up to expectations when a small dog like this as they are 4-7 ATS when a dog of under 2.5 points. They are only 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings in Phoenix and 5-14 ATS in the last 19 meetings overall. Since these teams don’t meet often, that is a trend that goes back years. We expect the home team to pull away late in the game. |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Bucks -8.5 v. Pacers | Top | 141-131 | Win | 100 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
The Bucks are trending upward and have won four of five, including a big win over Indiana less than two weeks ago. The Bucks needed a rally as the Pacers played well in the first half. But Milwaukee ended up winning by double digits. We expect to see a more complete game from the Bucks here. They match up very well against the Pacers and have a strong history against them as they have covered in seven of the last nine meetings. Five of those games were double digit blowouts. The Pacers started off the season strong but now might not even make the play in. They have covered only two of their last 10 games. |
|||||||
01-23-23 | Grizzlies -115 v. Kings | Top | 100-133 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Sacramento has won six of seven, but most of those wins came against sub par competition. They face one of the best in the west tonight, and we think the Grizzlies are quite a bit better than the Kings. The Grizzlies started this road trip with consecutive losses to the Lakers and Suns, by a combined three points. So they will really be focused on getting a win here and this team doesn’t want to drop three straight. They can do it against a team they have had a lot of success against. They have covered in all four of their recent trips to Sacramento and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall. |
|||||||
01-21-23 | Cleveland State v. Wright State -3 | Top | 85-77 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #786 Wright State over Cleveland State (7p.m., Saturday, January 21 ESPN+) Just feel the Vikings playing 4 straight road games will be the difference in this game. The Raiders are the much better offensive team scoring close to 80 points per game and that will allow them to cover this field goal spread. They also have the best player floor in Trey Calvin, who has scored 49 points per game in his last two outings. Cleveland State is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a losing record. Wright State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
01-20-23 | Clippers -7 v. Spurs | Top | 131-126 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
This is an opponent that the Clippers normally play well against. They are 4-1 ATS in the last five visits to San Antonio and 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. LA has been playing horribly. They have been dealing with more injuries, a problem that has to this point derailed their season. But it looks like the Big 2 will be playing tonight, and this team is desperate for a win. They have lost many games lately, but they have had a tough schedule littered with playoff teams. Their last easy opponent was vs. Houston, and they won by 21. We think we could see s similar result here as if the Clippers don’t get a convincing win here then it might be time for heads to roll in LA. We think they bring their A Game tonight. |

01-17-23 | Raptors v. Bucks UNDER 224.5 | Top | 122-130 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
This one has a strong history of the under, with 10 of the last 12 meetings going under the posted number. These are two Top 10 defenses, and the offenses are towards the bottom of the league. Both teams are coming in on a back-to-back, where the teams are a combined 8-3 to the under on the second end of a B2B. We expect a low scoring game here. |
|||||||
01-16-23 | Raptors v. Knicks -2 | Top | 123-121 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 4 m | Show |
The Knicks are coming in on a back-to-back, but they have a winning record ATS in these situations, so we aren’t really worried about that aspect too much. They barely broke a sweat in a blowout at Detroit yesterday. The Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season. They have won seven of eight and covered in six of those contests. The oddsmakers are punishing them too much here for the B2B. Toronto is 5-13 on the road this season and this will be another tough situation for them to get the win. They hosted the Knicks earlier in the month and lost by four. This one should see a larger margin of victory. |
|||||||
01-13-23 | Nuggets v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 115-103 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
Note: there will likely be line movement in this game because of MVP favorite Jokic and his injury status. He is questionable with a wrist injury. We like the Clippers for a comfortable win whether he plays or not. We think Revenge is an overrated NBA handicapping angle. That is unless the teams played recently. And the Clippers no doubt remember that game last week in Denver where they got spanked, 122-91. The Nuggets have won six of seven, but they have been enjoying some home cooking lately. All those wins were at home, but they are just 2-4 in their last six road contests. Even though George is out tonight for the Clippers, this team is very deep with talent, but they just have not had consistent rotations. But they looked real good last time out in a double-digit home win vs. the Mavs, and wins and losses have come in bunches for this team. But they need to start stacking some wins together after the lackluster start to the season, and we expect them to bring their A Game tonight and for Kawhi to lead the way to a win and cover. |
|||||||
01-12-23 | Thunder +9.5 v. 76ers | Top | 133-114 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
Oklahoma City was one of the best ATS teams last season, and they are doing it again as they are the No. 1 betting team this season at 25-16 ATS. This is the perfect betting team as they play hard almost every night yet keep it close more often than getting the outright win. They have covered in four of their last five games, and we expect them to keep this close tonight. OKC does most of their ATS damage as a big dog as they are 18-7 ATS when getting three or more points. If this line goes up to double digits, they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in those scenarios. While teams like the Lakers and Warriors get the best shot from other teams even when they aren’t high in the standings, OKC is a team they often overlook and we don’t see the Sixers bringing their A Game tonight. OKC has covered in four of the last five meetings in Philly. |
|||||||
01-10-23 | Mavs v. Clippers -1 | Top | 101-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
For Dallas, Luka Doncic is questionable for this matchup. If he plays, the line will move. But we like the Clippers to win this one by a comfortable margin despite the line movement. Paul George is out for LA but Kawhi should play. Tonight., we have to plug our noses and take the Clippers, who are on a 6-game losing streak. This is the worst losing streak in years. This team has been inconsistent. But this just has the feeling of a Must Win game, and we think LA will respond to the pressure tonight. It’s not like they have lost to scrubs, as all the losses were to playoff type teams. They played their best game of the bunch last time out vs. the Hawks, who eventually rallied for the win. But LA has covered in five of the last seven meetings, and this is a good familiar foe with which to halt the losing streak. |
|||||||
01-09-23 | Bulls +9 v. Celtics | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Two teams on winning streaks as the Bulls have won three straight and the Celtics have won two straight. But Boston has not been covering many lines as they have been overvalued by oddsmakers and they haven’t been playing at their top level. They have covered only one of their last four games. Chicago covered in all three of their recent wins. We expect a hard fought game here. The Bulls typically bring their A Game when playing Boston. They are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and they have covered four straight in Boston. We were planning to take the Bulls here and thought the line would be closer to 6, so there is excellent value here tonight. |
|||||||
01-07-23 | Pelicans v. Mavs -7 | Top | 117-127 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show |
We took the Celtics for a big play last time out against the Mavs after their embarrassing loss to the Thunder and they destroyed Dallas by nearly 30. Now we are going to back Dallas with the same philosophy, backing a good team after an embarrassing loss. They didn’t show up in that game, and they will no doubt produce a better effort here win or lose. They come in rested, while the Pelicans are on a B2B after a game they probably wanted more in Brooklyn last night that was hard fought but ended up a loss. New Orleans is not a very deep team, and they are missing two of their Big Three and we think their lineup will be lacking here in the B2B. Dallas has been an awful ATS team this season, but that can turn around. We think they have a great chance for a blowout here. |
|||||||
01-05-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 124-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
The Mavs have won seven in a row, while the Celtics have been blown out in two straight and lost to OKC by 30+ last time out. Yet the Celtics are still favored here on the road. That tells us a lot. We always like to take a good team after an embarrassing loss. The Celtics certainly fit the bill here as they are arguably the best team in the NBA. And that loss is certainly embarrassing, but it’s also forgivable. During the long grind of the NBA season, teams just don’t always show up to play. But after a real poor effort, we expect the Celtics to bring their A Game tonight in Dallas. The Celtics have covered in 12 of 17 meetings here and they are the much better team. We think they show it tonight. |
|||||||
01-04-23 | Suns v. Cavs UNDER 217 | Top | 88-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
The Suns offense is really struggling right now. They have scored 104 or fewer points in four of their last six games and put up only 83 last time out vs. the Knicks. Things won’t get any easier for them tonight against the Cavs, the No. 1 defensive team for points allowed this season. The Suns are a pretty good defensive team also, so they will have to rely on that facet of the game to stay competitive here and Cleveland probably isn’t going to light up the scoreboard tonight. The under is 9-3 in the last 12 meetings in Cleveland, and we expect another low scoring game here tonight. |
|||||||
01-03-23 | Wizards v. Bucks -7.5 | Top | 113-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show |
This is the perfect revenge spot for the Bucks, who lost to Washington here on this same floor in a blowout Sunday. Antetokounmpo and Holiday, the Bucks two best players this season, missed that game but both should be back here. Milwaukee has lost five of six, so there should be a sense of urgency here tonight. Four of those losses were on the road, and three were to the other top teams in the east, so it’s not like they have been beaten by a bunch of bad teams. This looks like a good spot for a blowout win and revenge. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Utah +3 v. Stanford | Top | 71-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #729 Utah over Stanford (4p.m., Saturday, December 31 PAC-12N) The Cardinal just cannot put together a solid season under Jerod Hasse. He has had talented players and experience but has yet to reach the NCAA Tournament and this will be his last year at the farm. Utah continues to improve in year two of Craig Smith and they returned most of their talent from last season. They are 3-0 in conference play and do not have any bad losses on the season. They also have the best player on the floor in Branden Carlson and if they keep winning games like this, they will be an NCAA Tournament team coming March. The Tues are 17-6 ATS (1 push) after allowing less than 50 points to their opponent in their previous game. Stanford is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games played on Saturdays. Maples Pavilion during the holiday break will not provide any atmosphere or home crowd edge for the home team. Utah wins this game straight-up. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Jazz v. Kings -3 | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
Utah has not been playing great on the road and is 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. The Kings shine has worn off since the start of the season as this team has been inconsistent. But they are healthy here and this line is more than fair. This homestand hasn’t been the best, but they head on the road after the new year so we think this game is a priority to get a win and salvage the homestand. Utah hasn’t looked very good the last couple games and even lost to the Spurs. They are 7-13 on the road and we think they are in for another tough game tonight. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Clippers +7 v. Celtics | Top | 110-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Boston has been the best team in the NBA to start the season, but now that the Clippers are healthy, they have possibly the strongest roster in the league. They should have most of the squad playing tonight, and this is just too many points. The Celtics were in a big slump but have won three straight, but wins over Minnesota and Houston don’t really move the needle. Just don’t think this club is in top form right now. The Clippers always seem to play well in Boston, where they are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings, and we think they bring their A Game tonight. |
|||||||
12-22-22 | Spurs +8.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Brandon Ingram has been out for the Pels but now the main member of the Big 3, Zion Williamson, will join him as he has been placed in Health and Safety protocols. We have no doubt players will step up in his absence, but we don’t think they will cover this big number. The Pels haven’t been playing great even with Zion in the lineup as they have lost four straight both SU and ATS heading into this matchup. And now they have to face the Spurs without their two best players. San Antonio was looking like the worst team in the NBA for awhile as they lost nine straight and didn’t cover in any of them. But they have been playing a lot better recently. They come in with confidence after a blowout win at Houston. They have won four of six and covered in all those wins as an underdog. They have covered in all seven of their most recent visits to New Orleans, and they have one of the best coaches in the league that probably devised a nice gameplan here with two days off to maximize the chance of being competitive here. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Magic v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 32 m | Show |
Don’t get us wrong, the Magic are playing great basketball right now and their recent six-game winning streak has been impressive. Especially the last two games, a sweep of the best team in basketball, the Boston Celtics, in Boston. The streak also included a home win against these same Hawks. Atlanta is a much better home team (9-5) than road team (6-10). And this game was recent so this is a revenge spot for the Hawks. We have to remember that Orlando is only 11-20, so this current win streak includes more than half of their wins. They are Fat and Happy after the sweep of Boston. They are coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights while the Hawks have had two days off. Orlando has covered only one of the last five visits to Atlanta and they are 2-7-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall. Expect Orlando to play strong in the first half and then wilt down the stretch. |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Ohio State v. North Carolina -2.5 | Top | 84-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 12 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #644 North Carolina over Ohio State (3p.m., Saturday, December 17 CBS) We will follow the line movement, as an unranked team favored against a ranked team is always a strong play. Carolina was terrible during the early portion of the season but now they are undervalued. This team needs a quality win in the worst way, and they will get it on Saturday in New York City. Ohio State is gritty, but they do not have the talent that UNC does and were very lucky to win their last home game against Rutgers. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between UNC and Ohio State. North Carolina is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. Ohio State is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a victory in their previous game. |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Kings -5.5 v. Pistons | Top | 122-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Sacramento has had somewhat of a tough road trip as they have dropped three of five. But this will be their easiest matchup on this road swing, so we think they bring their A Game here. The Kings have one of the best offenses in the league, and Detroit has one of the worst defenses. While the Kings defense isn’t going to win many accolades, they are better than Detroit, and the Detroit offense is one of the lowest ranked in the NBA. Sacramento normally plays well against bad teams. They are 6-1 ATS in their last seven against losing teams. They are 7-1 ATS in their last eight on the road against teams with a losing home record. We think this is a great chance for a double digit win. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Heat v. Rockets +4 | Top | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
Love the line value here as we had the Rockets as a slight favorite. Miami is the second worst betting team in the NBA at 9-19-1 ATS. They are just barely better than the worst betting team, Dallas. They are coming in on a back-to-back here after OKC took them to the brink last night. They won but didn’t cover, and we don’t see them playing a better game than they did last night. The Rockets have been playing well and have won three of four. They are 15-12 ATS on the season, meaning they are surpassing oddsmakers expectations on a regular basis. The Rockets have covered six straight at home, and we think they have a great chance to win outright. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Pelicans -1.5 v. Jazz | Top | 100-121 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show |
The Pelicans have won seven straight and are playing as well as any team in the NBA right now. Utah has lost two straight and three of four, and the shine has come off their hot start a bit. New Orleans has a better offense and a much better defense, and they should dominate this game on both sides. This team looks very headstrong this season and we don’t think they will have a letdown after a pair of big wins over the Suns. |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Cavs -8.5 v. Spurs | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
We were on the Spurs for their last two wins, as we saw a slight upswing for them after losing nine games SU and ATS. Now they are fat and happy after two wins over Houston and Miami, two struggling teams, but now they are probably going to revert to their tanking ways and they face a true championship contender in Cleveland. Mitchell is questionable here. But we think the Cavs win by double digits whether he plays or not. This team plays excellent team basketball and the sum is greater than the individual parts. The Spurs are a struggling offensive team and the Cavs posses the No. 1 defense. San Antonio gives up more than 120 PPG, so we don’t think the Cavs will have any problem scoring enough to get this one over the posted number. Cleveland has covered in five of six meetings and four straight in San Antonio. |
|||||||
12-10-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 114-107 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
To say this road trip has been rough for the Clippers would be an understatement. They have lost two straight, against the Magic in OT and then at the Heat. This is a long season, but this seems like a very crucial game for the struggling Clippers. We never know who will start for LA as their two stars are never a sure thing to make it on the court. But it’s very likely the Big Two should play here. Even if one of them doesn’t, this line will likely swing, but we won’t be deterred if it does. We think this is a great chance for a double digit win even if PG or Kawhi sit. Washington is coming in on a back-to-back. They are banged up as well. They haven’t been playing well, either. But the biggest thing is that we expect the Clippers to play with a sense of urgency here as a loss or another bad game might be the time to hit the panic button. We don’t think that will be needed, however, as we expect a comfortable win and we think the stock will be rising in the coming weeks for LA. Oh yeah, and they have covered in five of the last six meetings, so they normally play well against this opponent. |
|||||||
12-08-22 | Rockets v. Spurs +2 | Top | 109-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
Make no mistake, the Spurs have been playing some of the worst basketball in the NBA and have been making an art out of tanking. But this looks like a very winnable game for them and they are going to get a win and cover at a certain point. We think tonight is the night. This team shot out of the gate with some great performances and was once one of the better bets in the league. Then some injuries hit and they fell off the cliff. But we think the value has swung the other way now and they should be a favorite here. Houston has only one more win than the Spurs. They are 3-12 away from home. They are 3-7-1 in the last 11 meetings. The Spurs have had extended rest coming into this one and should get a couple of their injured soldiers back for this game, and we expect a rare win from the home team tonight. |
|||||||
12-03-22 | Thunder v. Wolves UNDER 232 | Top | 135-128 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
The Thunder were on an over tear, but their offense has come back to earth a bit while the bookies have overadjusted their totals on a nightly basis. Two of their last three have gone under, and we think that is the way this one will go as well. Minnesota is 13-9 to the under this season. The Thunder have been having some scoring lapses lately and their best player is banged up as well. Also, the last five meetings in Minnesota have all gone under the posted number. |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Pacers +5 v. Jazz | Top | 119-139 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
The Jazz got off to a hot start but have cooled off big time and are now looking more like the team we expected to see entering the season. They also have some key injuries that are holding them back. They got a win last time out but that was their first in six games. Utah has excelled in the underdog role for betting purposes, but they are just 2-6 ATS as a favorite this season. Indiana is one of the best ATS teams in the league, and they quietly get the job done night in and night out. They are 8-3 ATS when getting more than three points as a dog. They are also 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Utah and 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings overall. |
|||||||
12-01-22 | Mavs v. Pistons +8 | Top | 125-131 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Dallas is a very poor road team at 1-7 on the season. They have failed to cover in five straight on the road. Detroit is 8-3-2 ATS as an underdog of 7.5 or more, and they have served bettors well as a big underdog. Dallas is 2-11-1 ATS as a favorite of three or more points. At 5-14-1 ATS, this is the absolute worst ATS team in the league, cashing less than 27 percent of their games for bettors. Detroit’s only ATS loss in their last six games was last time out in a 30-point home loss to the Knicks. They will want to put in a much better effort in front of the home fans here. This is another inflated line for Dallas and this is an easy call to go against them. |
|||||||
11-30-22 | North Carolina v. Indiana -4 | Top | 65-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #720 Indiana -4 over North Carolina (9:15p.m., Wednesday, November 29 ESPN) NONCONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR We lost some points on this game when North Carolina was exposed in Portland over the weekend, but the brand of Carolina still holds weight with the general public. The Tar Heels have been overrated and did not do much until the NCAA Tournament last season. Everyone assume that they would pick up right where they left off in April but that has not been the case. Now they must face a rested Hoosiers team at home that is waiting for a marquee win under Mike Woodson. Indiana has a ton of talent, and they are playing at a much higher level than North Carolina is. The Tar Heels played a 4 overtime game on Sunday and I just do not believe they will have much left in the tank for this game. Carolina has been terrible on offense and are 200+ in the country in assists per game. North Carolina is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games played on Wednesdays. Indiana is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. This will be a double-digit victory for the home team and we expect to collect big in the process as well. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Spurs v. Thunder UNDER 231.5 | Top | 111-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
The Thunder offense has fallen off the cliff the last couple games, failing to score more than 105 in consecutive games, Looks like this team is trending to the under after being a hot over team for awhile. Besides the last game against the Lakers, which was a barnburner, the Spurs have had offensive issues and scored under the century mark in three of their last five games. The under is 5-2 in the last seven meetings and we see this one going well under the number here. |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wolves -5.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-110 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 19 m | Show |
Minnesota has won five straight and they are playing with a lot of confidence right now. They are playing the best they have so far this season. Charlotte is just not a good team right now and will likely be missing a couple top players here. We think this game has blowout potential and the Wolves should win by double digits. Minnesota does well on the road against bad teams (8-2 ATS run) and we expect a dominant performance here. We have stayed away from the Wolves a lot this season because of a slow start but it looks like this team is figuring things out and the Wolves seem like a good Buy Low option right now for bettors. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Nuggets v. Thunder OVER 231.5 | Top | 131-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 44 m | Show |
The Thunder have now gone over in seven straight and the oddsmakers can’t set a total high enough for this team right now. They are pushing the pace at one of the highest rates in the NBA and they just rely on scoring to be competitive more than defense. Denver hasn’t been playing great offensively but they have faced some strong defensive teams. This is a chance for them to open up the offense a bit and we think they have a monster night offensively as they have historically played well here. We are expecting another OKC track meet here as this should be a competitive game with both teams getting their share to put this one well over the posted number. |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Dayton v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 42-43 | Win | 100 | 4 h 1 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #742 Wisconsin over Dayton (2:30p.m., Wednesday, November 23 ESPN2) Wisconsin had no business winning the Maui Invitational last season in Las Vegas and they are underrated again in this tournament. Dayton already has a loss to UNLV and I just do not trust Anthony Grant to win big games. The Badgers are well rested, and they have won all 3 games this season by double-digits. Expect this to be a low scoring game where Wisconsin grinds out a victory, something they did most of last season. |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Hawks v. Cavs -2 | Top | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
After a 5-game skid, the Cavs are swinging back in the other direction and have now won two straight. This team has been streaky lately but this looks like an excellent spot for them to continue their win streak against a Hawks team that plays better at home. The Hawks have dropped three of four ATS, and they got throttled by Boston on their recent homestand. The Cavs normally step up big at home in these marquee game type situations. Atlanta hasn’t had much luck here in Cleveland as they have covered in only one of their last six meetings. We see that trend continuing here on Monday. |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Thunder v. Grizzlies OVER 230 | Top | 110-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 60 m | Show |
OKC’s offense is humming, and they have gone over in five straight games and scored more than 120 in each of those. Actually, they have scored over 130 in three of those (one OT game) and over 140 in a non-OT game. Memphis has a middle of the pack defense, and we don’t see them slowing the Thunder down tonight. And Memphis has an exceptional offense as well that can work without key players as they will again be without Bane tonight, but this team has shown in the past that they can perform at a high level with top players out. And we are confident that Memphis will be more than happy to run with OKC tonight. The over is 5-1 in the last six meetings. The last meeting saw 240+ points scored, and we think we will see the same type of game tonight. |
|||||||
11-17-22 | Spurs v. Kings -7 | Top | 112-130 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show |
Sacramento is 10-3 ATS on the season and playing their best basketball of the season at the moment. This is starting to look an awful lot like a playoff team. They have won four straight: Golden State, Cleveland and Brooklyn were included in that bunch. They are coming off a 30+ point win over the Nets. They have the No. 2 offense in the NBA this season and are facing the league’s worst defense. We just think the Kings will be able to outscore the Spurs tonight. They have put up 120 or more in four straight and 153 against the Nets. They have also covered in 9 of 13 meetings and 4 of 5 in Sacramento. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Bucks -5 v. Thunder | Top | 136-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
The Bucks suffered their first loss of the season last time out at Atlanta. It was a blowout and an embarrassing loss. But this is a great bounce back spot for what has been the best team in the NBA. After a hot start, OKC has come back to earth a bit and has lost three straight SU and ATS. They are pretty much a one-man team with SGA leading the way, but the Bucks have the defensive pieces to slow him down. Both meetings last year were blowouts, and we expect more of the same here. |
|||||||
11-03-22 | Warriors v. Magic UNDER 226.5 | Top | 129-130 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
These teams have a long history for the under as they have played to the under in five of seven overall and 10 of 14 in the last 14 in Orlando. The Magic are one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA thus far. They have been pretty solid defensively as they are in the upper half of the league for points allowed. We think they will be competitive in this game, and that won’t come from the offense so we think they will slow Golden State down. The Warriors haven’t been putting up crazy point totals lately. We don’t think they will here. Orlando has been averaging only 106 PPG on offense. We don’t see them getting too much over that tonight. |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Hawks v. Pistons +6.5 | Top | 136-112 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 33 m | Show |
These teams played here on Wednesday and Atlanta scored a five-point win. The Pistons are underrated and this is a possible play in tourney team. We don’t think they will play worse than Wednesday, and they were in that game all the way with a chance to win at the end. We think there’s a great chance they play even better as it’s tough to beat a team consecutive games like this. |
|||||||
10-27-22 | Grizzlies v. Kings OVER 236.5 | Top | 125-110 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 56 m | Show |
Memphis is 4-0 against the total this season. Their offense has been humming, and we expect them to put up a big number here. Sacramento is well rested and will run with the Grizzlies for sure. Both teams are way down the list of defensive teams so far. All three meetings last season went over the posted number. Memphis scored 124 or more in all three games. We think this game will be competitive so we believe that Sacramento will get their points as well. We just don’t see a lot of defense being played here, and the offenses should be on full display. The over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings. |

10-26-22 | Hawks v. Pistons +8 | Top | 118-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
Detroit is off to a slow start, but this team is not a bottom feeder this season. We think they are a contender for the play in tourney and a team in the rise. This is just too many points as a home dog. Detroit has played three of four on the road, but their one home game was a solid win, and we think they will be primed for a big performance tonight. The Hawks rarely play well here and are 0-4 ATS in their last four visits and 2-6 ATS in their last eight meetings overall. The Hawks are 1-2 ATS despite playing all three at home against a weak schedule. |
|||||||
10-23-22 | Jazz v. Pelicans -8.5 | Top | 122-121 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 14 m | Show |
Both teams are 2-0 SU and ATS, but one team is a championship contender and one team is playing over its head. We think this will be a high scoring game but we think this is where Utah comes back to earth a bit. New Orleans has looked very good to start the season. These teams normally play a high scoring game, and we expect the same here tonight but New Orleans wins by double digits. They might get 130+ on their own. |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Thunder v. Wolves -10.5 | Top | 108-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
We don’t take many double digit favorites in the NBA, but we think this one is warranted. Minnesota has just crushed OKC in recent meetings. Like CRUSHED. Like all three games were decided by 30 or more. OKC was one of the best ATS teams in the league last season. We used them a lot. We will probably use them a lot midseason once this young team starts to gel. And they have a great leader in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. At some point, he will get the best out of this roster. But this team is much different than the one that covered so many games last season and there are going to be some growing pains. Minnesota has their best team in years and a legit contender. We think OKC runs into a buzzsaw here in the season opener. |
|||||||
10-18-22 | 76ers +2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 29 m | Show |
The Sixers seem very solid heading into the new season and we think this team is in a great place and primed for a strong start and a possible championship run. Boston not only has the hangover from losing in the finals, but they had a turbulent offseason to say the last with their coach being suspended for the season and losing offseason acquisition Gallinari for the season with an injury. And we forget that this team started very slow last season before turning it on around the holidays, and we think a repeat could be in the cards. Philly has covered in seven of the last eight meetings. Their non-cover during that span? The 135-87 beatdown in February. We have no doubt the Sixers remember that game and they will want to play their best here against a team they normally exceed expectations against. |
|||||||
06-13-22 | Celtics +4 v. Warriors | Top | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
This series has worked out for the Zig Zag Theory to perfection, with each team trading wins/covers and the total going the opposite way each game. We still think Boston is the better team and we think they have a great chance for the outright win here. Curry went off in Game 4 after the Celtics had been in control most of the way through. But we expect a focused group tonight and we think they break the stalemate tonight with a chance to go back to Boston to close things out in Game 6. |
|||||||
06-10-22 | Warriors v. Celtics -3.5 | Top | 107-97 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 23 m | Show |
The Warriors had some injury concerns with Steph Curry but it looks like he is good to go for Game 4. But we are not sure he will be 100% effective. If this was the regular season, he would probably take some time off to properly heal. And there is always the chance of reaggravating the injury as the Celtics are one of the most physical teams in the league. But even with Curry at full strength, we like the Celtics here. We think they are the superior team, and the hungrier one. The Warriors have a decent supporting cast for their stars, but the team goes cold too often unlike the best championship teams from Golden State. And then there are Draymond Green’s antics. He is a great defender but he is just not helping the team a lot in this series. With the Big Game 3 win, the Celtics have their eyes on the prize and we don’t see them blowing home court advantage here. We think they get another comfortable win tonight. |
|||||||
06-02-22 | Celtics +4 v. Warriors | Top | 120-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
We think the Celtics are underrated in this series and we think they have a great chance to pull off the series win. We do think this series will go far. We saw Golden State dominate the postseason so far, and that is why we have this steep series line here, but we think the Warriors had a pretty easy path. Memphis is a young team that is still learning playoff basketball and Dallas still needs some pieces to be a championship contender. The Nuggets were a pushover. But Boston has had a much tougher path. They swept a Nets team that was one of the title favorites. They beat the defending champs in the next round and then the No. 1 seed Miami Heat in seven games, winning Game 7 on the road no less. They are more battle tested. And while we have a ton of respect for Golden State and what they have done, they aren’t as hungry as the Celtics and this isn’t the best team they have had during their championship runs. The Celtics are coming off a couple grueling series, but they have had three days off here, which will be plenty of rest. We think Golden State has been off too long for this and they should be a little rusty. Boston always gets up for this opponent and they have covered eight of the last nine meetings here, a trend that stretches back years since these teams don’t play often. Boston has lost the last two Game 1s, which put them in a hole in each series early. We think they bring their A Game here to get the upper hand and steal home court advantage. Boston was a Top 5 ATS team this season and often underestimated by the oddsmakers. We think that is the case here for Game 1 again, and we think the Celtics have a great chance for the outright win. |
|||||||
05-21-22 | Heat v. Celtics UNDER 207.5 | Top | 109-103 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show |
Both teams have won a blowout game in this series. Game 1 was a free for all where there wasn’t much defense played in the first half and both teams were hot shooting. Game 2 saw lots of easy baskets in garbage time in another blowout. But this is such an important game in this series that we expect both teams to get serious about defense here. It’s very telling after two high-scoring games that the bookies haven’t made a major adjustment to this number. We think the books are begging the public to jump on the over here, but we will side with the books and sharp money here with a strong position on the under. |
|||||||
05-20-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Warriors | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
The Mavs have shown themselves to be very resilient in these playoffs. We don’t take much from their Game 1 performance. Just like Boston, they can bounce back here and if they win then they have the upper hand and home court advantage in this series. They will no doubt shoot a lot better than they did in Game 1. We expect a close, high scoring game here and we still think this will be a good series despite the Game 1 result. |
|||||||
05-19-22 | Celtics +3.5 v. Heat | Top | 127-102 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
We will give Boston a mulligan for their Game 1 performance. They didn’t come to play, and two starters being out did not help. Smart should be back tonight, and he will help on both ends of the court. This team is well coached and very talented. And they will be able to make the necessary adjustments, especially on the defensive end. We think they have a great chance to win outright here in a low-scoring affair.  |
|||||||
05-17-22 | Celtics v. Heat UNDER 204 | Top | 107-118 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 21 m | Show |
Boston is head and shoulders the best defensive team in the NBA, and we expect a real low scoring Game 1 here. Boston is in Beast Mode as they are coming straight off their Game 7 against the Bucks. They put on a defensive clinic in Games 6 and 7, holding the Bucks to 95 and 81 points, respectively. The Heat are a Top 5 defensive team and they held the Sixers to under the century mark in three of the last four games. These teams will be feeling each other out here in Game 1 and we just don’t see a free flowing, high scoring game here. This is one of the lowest totals of the season in the NBA for good reason. We think we could see both teams wind up under the century mark. |
|||||||
05-15-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 81-109 | Win | 100 | 27 h 40 m | Show |
We have been big on Boston this whole series and this is not going to change here for Game 7. This has been one of the strongest teams in the NBA all season after a slow start, and we feel they have a championship-caliber squad this season. They are hungry. They have also been one of the best betting teams in the NBA this season and one you can trust laying points. They have also covered in 12 of the last 16 meetings (one push). |
|||||||
05-13-22 | Celtics +1.5 v. Bucks | Top | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
This just seems like a 7-game series to us, and the Celtics just need a win here and they will be heavy favorites to advance at home. Besides Game 1, all their losses were games that could have easily won, but when they have won they have been dominant. This has been one of the best ATS teams this season and we think they are being undervalued again here on Friday as we have them as a slight favorite and we expect them to win outright. |
|||||||
05-11-22 | Warriors -4 v. Grizzlies | Top | 95-134 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 3 m | Show |
The Grizzlies seemed to have given their last gasp last time but still came up short after leading most of the game. Then more bad news came as word arrived that Ja Morant will likely miss the rest of the postseason. So this team for the first time this season knows that there are no reinforcements of their star coming to help, and during the regular season when Morant was out the team performed at a high level knowing he would be back and they just needed to keep the team afloat. Golden State is the better team in the better mental state, and we expect a comfortable win tonight. |
|||||||
05-10-22 | Mavs v. Suns OVER 214.5 | Top | 80-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
Both Games 1 and 2 in Phoenix went over. Way over. Like a combined 41.5 points over in both games. Both games went under in Dallas, but Game 4 was just barely under and one of the many missed threes by the Suns would have sent it over the posted number. We expect a very competitive game here and think both teams will get their points. But mainly we think Phoenix will regain their offensive touch at home. They averaged 125 in the two games in Phoenix, and if they can get anywhere close to that, this total will sail over. |
|||||||
05-08-22 | Heat v. 76ers -133 | Top | 108-116 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show |
Embiid showed just how valuable he is to this team that looked dead in the water after Game 2. With him back in the lineup, it picked up the whole team and they won by 20 in Game 3 while holding the Heat to 79 points. Embiid, along with Doncic for Dallas, is one of the most important players in the NBA to his team’s success. With him back on the court, Philly is not only a threat to win this series but the NBA title as well. We think they are right back in this thing, and this series now has the look of one that could go the distance. We think the Sixers will serve court at home and even this thing up tonight. |
|||||||
05-07-22 | Celtics v. Bucks UNDER 212.5 | Top | 101-103 | Win | 100 | 3 h 12 m | Show |
The first two games in this series went under by a combined 49 points, and we still don’t think the oddsmakers made enough of an adjustment here. This is such a crucial game in this series and these teams have had extra rest so the energy for defensive intensity will be there. Boston is the No. 1 team in the NBA for points allowed and they have really been strong thus far on the defensive end, and the Bucks can play defense with anyone in the league when they exert themselves. We see both teams locking down defensively here once again and this one has a great chance to finish under 200 just likes Games 1 and 2. |
|||||||
05-04-22 | Mavs +6.5 v. Suns | Top | 109-129 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show |
Dallas had an off game in Game 1 and they still almost covered. They were outscored in the first three quarters and we think we will see a more complete game from them here as they play a close game with a chance to win. It looks like the Suns don’t have any answer for Doncic and we expect the rest of the team to step up and have a better game. Dallas is one of the best defensive teams in the NBA and they will make some adjustments tonight to slow down the Suns offense. |
|||||||
05-03-22 | Bucks v. Celtics -4.5 | Top | 86-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Boston played very poorly in Game 1 and we expect this team to bounce back strong here. They have high expectations this postseason, and losing here would be devastating for their series chances. Boston had covered seven straight in this series before the Game 1 loss, and we think they match up well here and expect a comfortable win from the home team tonight. |
|||||||
04-28-22 | Mavs v. Jazz | Top | 98-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show |
Dallas has covered four straight in this series and we think they are the superior team. Utah just doesn’t have it this season and we expect some big changes in the offseason, which will start tomorrow for the Jazz. Mitchell will probably play here and he is probably being forced back too soon in a desperate move and may hurt the team more than help on the court tonight. Dallas has some history in the postseason with series dragging on too long so we think they will treat this like a Game 7 and lock down on defense. |
|||||||
04-26-22 | Pelicans +7 v. Suns | Top | 97-112 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
The Pelicans aren’t your typical 8 seed. They retooled the roster mid season and this team has some nice veteran leadership now and a strong roster. The Suns are a team we did not believe in last season. We were wrong on that front as they advanced to the NBA Finals, but they got a lot of good luck because of major injuries to opponents in their path. But they will not have that same type of luck this season and we see them facing some adversity as they already have taken a blow with the Booker injury. We expect a close game here and one that the Pelicans very much have a chance to win outright. |
|||||||
04-21-22 | Mavs +7 v. Jazz | Top | 126-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
We try to look at an NBA Playoff series beforehand and see how it plays out. We don’t think the Jazz have it this season and this team was really disappointing all season besides a few flashes where they looked like last year’s team. But we expect the Mavs to win this series, and they are a good team even without their star in the lineup. Doncic is questionable here, but we think they have a great chance to win without him as they did in Game 2. With the Game 2 win, Dallas has now covered in six of seven meetings. They are the much better defensive team, and that really matters in the postseason. |
|||||||
04-20-22 | Nets v. Celtics -3 | Top | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
This is a very public line in our opinion. The Nets played a very good Game 1 and still came out on the losing side and Boston had control of things for much of the game. We feel that was their best chance for an upset in Boston and they blew it. We think that close scare will have Boston playing even better this time. There’s a reason Brooklyn was in the play in this season. This team dealt with a lot of roster issues but they were also one of the most disappointing betting teams in the NBA and always overvalued by the oddsmakers. That is the case again here in Game 2 as we think Boston earns a comfortable win. |
|||||||
04-16-22 | Wolves v. Grizzlies -6.5 | Top | 130-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 59 m | Show |
The Timberwolves are a great story this year. But we were hoping they won the play in game because we wanted to go against them in the first round, especially in this first game. This just seems like a team that is on the verge but not quite ready yet, and Memphis is a real contender this year. The Grizzlies have had extra rest and time to prepare for this matchup, and this doesn’t seem like a team that would be rusty entering the first game of the postseason. They have also owned Minnesota from a betting perspective. They have covered 24 of the last 32 meetings here in Memphis and 16 of the last 21 meetings overall. We think they will be ready for their moment in the spotlight here in Game 1. |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Clippers +3.5 v. Wolves | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The Clippers played well down the stretch. Better than the Timberwolves. And they have had Paul George back and he has stepped right in and was not too rusty. The Clippers are 15-6-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings in Minnesota, and this is a place they always play well. With George back in the mix and no clear dominant team in the West, the Clippers have a chance to go far if they can make the playoffs, especially if they can get Kawhi back at some point. We think they will play to win this one and we think they have a great chance. |
|||||||
04-10-22 | Spurs v. Mavs -11 | Top | 120-130 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Dallas need a win for seeding and the Spurs have two road games coming up in the play in tourney in hopes to make the playoffs. While they would normally be up for an in-state rival, they won’t have any focus on this game at all. They don’t want to use too much energy here. We don’t see any defense from the Spurs here and key players will get limited minutes. The Mavs need to win and they will have time off during the play in tourney, so they will play hard here. Blowout. |
|||||||
04-08-22 | Hawks v. Heat UNDER 231 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
The Hawks have gone under in three straight and we think the oddsmakers have posted another number too high for them tonight. The Heat are the No. 3 defense in the NBA for points allowed. Atlanta is not as strong offensively on the road as they are at home. Teams also want to ramp up the defense as the playoffs approach and the game changes a bit in the postseason. The under is 22-8 in the last 30 meetings in Miami, and we think that trend continues here on Friday. |
|||||||
04-06-22 | Suns v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
The Suns have had the No. 1 seed clinched for awhile. That has reflected in their play on the court as they have failed to cover in four straight and they have lost two of three outright. They come in on a back-to-back after a win over the Lakers last night. They probably had motivation there to send the Lakers packing from postseason contention. But now they head on the road for a B2B and we don’t see them really caring about this game too much. And they don’t want to risk injury. With the Clippers playing in the play-in, they can’t afford to rest here in the final games, and they need to keep momentum going, They are also actively trying to get Paul George back into the mix and to gel with the team before the play-in. So we think they will be real motivated here. They have won and covered in three of four and should have covered in Chicago but lost in OT as an underdog. |
