My 10* BLOWOUT ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the Washington Wizards. Off a home win over the Knicks, I expect the Hornets to predictably struggle on the road in the nation's capital. The Wizards come in focussed on the task at hand as they enter off a double-digit loss to Milwaukee. Despite the win last time out, note that the Hornets have averaged fewer than 100 points over their last five. The Wizards' deplorable defense catches a break here today facing this stagnant Hornets' offense. Key Trends: - The Wizards are 4-1 ATS in their last five at home. - Charlotte is only 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. the division. - The Hornets are already just 3-7 ATS this season after successfully covering the spread in two or more straight outings. The verdict: I think the home side has the distinct advantage here, as I expect a double-digit blowout once it's all said and done; lay the short points! |

My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Portland Trail Blazers. I think the home side digs deep and finds a way to get the job done in front of the home town crowd. Indiana is 13-11 away from home, which isn't great. But compared to the Blazers sub-par 10-11 home record, it's much better. This is game five of a five game road trip for Indiana and I think it's going to struggle to find energy vs. this desperate home side. Portland is currently on the outside of the playoff picture looking in. This is the third game of a four-game home stand. The Blazers have just two wins in their last five games. Key Trends: - Indiana is a poor 0-2 ATS off two straight road wins by ten points or more. - Portland is 6-1 ATS in its last seven after allowing 110 points or more for four straight games (including 3-1 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think the Pacers come out flat in their final game of this trip and I expect the Blazers to play with a sense of urgency from start to finish; lay the short points! |

My 10* TOTAL ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the UNDER Lakers/76ers. Philadelphia has had a couple days off to absorb a double-digit road loss in Toronto. The Lakers are coming off a double-digit win over the Nets, one night after beating the Knicks. Philadelphia doesn't push the pace, and neither do the Lakers. LA is one of the most under-rated defenses in the league in my opinion. Key Trends: - LA has seen the total go under the number in 11 of its last 15 after playing four straight on the road. - Philly has seen the total dip under in 17 of its last 24 after playing two straight divisional contests. The verdict: I expect a hard-fought game, where every possession is contested. I also expect half-court sets from each side as it looks to establish its low post paint game. This number is high, play the under! |

01-24-20 | Nuggets v. Pelicans UNDER 231 | Top | 113-106 | Win | 100 | 13 h 16 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the UNDER Nuggets/Pelicans. New Orleans was playing better before Zion Williamson returned to the line-up, but now that he's back, there's finally some excitement going on with the Pelicans. Williamson had 22 points in a loss to the Spurs in his debut. The Pelicans though are only 8-14 at home this year. New Orlean's turnaround of play has been because of its offensive play, but I think the visiting side will slow this one down and look to control the pace whenever possible. The Nuggets average 109.3 PPG and they concede just 106. Denver is 13-8 on the road and it'll look to close out its road-trip with a win here by containing this young Pelicans team. Key Trends: - Denver has seen the total go under the number in five of seven as a road underdog already this year. - New Orleans has seen the total dip below the posted number in five of its last six off an upset loss as a home favorite. The verdict: The Nuggets play at one of the slowest paces in the NBA and I believe this will ultimately help in pushing this total well below this sky-high number; play the under! |

My 10* TOTAL U OF THE U is on the UNDER Lakers/Nets. The Lakers ground out a win in New York last night, and I believe we'll witness another lower-scoring affair here tonight as well. The Lakers have been getting the job done this season with better than expected defensive play and clearly the last thing they'll want to do is turn this into a "track meet" in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. Despite losing four in a row, the Nets are still in the eighth spot in the East. Offensive consistency, due to revolving injury issues from Day 1, from game to game continues to be their main issue though. Key Trends: - LA has seen the total go under the number in three of its last four when playing the second game of the back-to-back. - Brooklyn has seen the total go under the number in six of its last eight after a division game. The verdict: During their four-game slide the Nets haven't reached 110 points once and they failed to top 100 one time as well. When you add up all of the above factors, everything definitely points to the under as the savvy move in this one! |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Spurs v. Pelicans UNDER 237 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the UNDER Spurs/Pelicans. Depending on when you played the O/U in New Orleans' last game, the Pelicans have seen the total go over the number in over 11 straight games. The Spurs have won two straight, while the Pels have won three of their last four, while going 8-1 ATS in their last nine overall as well. New Orleans' offense has been "firing on all cylinders" over the last three weeks, but now suddenly the team welcomes back rookie Zion Williamson into the fold. Chemistry doesn't happen automatically and I believe his addition will throw a temporary "monkey wrench" into the Pelicans well oiled offensive machine right now. Key Trends: - The Spurs have seen the total go under in five of six already this season off a road victory. - The Pelicans have seen the total fall under in ten of their last 15 vs. clubs with losing records. The verdict: All signs point to this one falling well below the posted number once the final horn blares; play the under! |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Raptors v. Hawks UNDER 231 | Top | 122-117 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 59 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the UNDER Raptors/Hawks. Toronto is 28-14 and it most recently got the better of Minnesota 122-112. The Hawks are only 10-33 and they're coming off a 136-103 loss to the Pistons. The night previous to that ATL had won big in OT on the road over the Spurs. The Hawks though have had difficulties producing vs. Toronto, as the "under" is 6-2 the last eight in this series. Key Trends: - TO has seen the total go under the number in three of its last four after playing to three or more consecutive overs. - ATL has seen the total dip under the number in three of four already this season after a huge blowout loss by 30 or more points. The verdict: The writing is on the wall and a tough-nosed defensive battle is finally in the cards here in my opinion; play the under! |
|||||||
01-20-20 | Pistons v. Wizards -1 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 21 h 30 m | Show |
My 10* ATS BLOOD-BATH is on the Washington Wizards. Both teams are terrible. The Pistons are 16-27 and the Wizards are 13-28. However I think that Detroit takes a step back here in the Nation's capital after its rare 136-103 blowout win over the Hawks on the road in their last action (Atlanta had played and won in OT at San Antonio the night previous). The Wizards are the "hungrier" team no doubt, as they enter off a humbling 140-111 loss at the Raptors. Key Trends: - Detroit is just 4-8 ATS this year as a road dog. - The Pistons are a poor 2-5 ATS this season already off a road victory. - The Wizards are already a near-perfect 5-1 ATS this season after three or more SU losses. The verdict: I love the home side to double down defensively and to gut out the victory here; lay the short points! |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Pacers v. Nuggets UNDER 211.5 | Top | 115-107 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 2 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the UNDER Pacers/Nuggets. Indiana has won four straight and this is the start of a five-game trip. Denver hits the road for a game in Minnesota tomorrow and it's won three straight. Denver beat Indiana 124-116 on the road last month, but I expect a much tighter, and ultimately lower-scoring affair this time around. Key Trends: - The Pacers have seen the total go under the number in seven of ten already this season in revenging a loss vs. an opponent which also scored 110 points or more in that victory. - The Nuggets have seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of eight this year as a home favorite of six points or less. The verdict: I think the writing is on the wall and a hard-fought, lower-scoring under is in the cards! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Kings v. Jazz UNDER 222.5 | Top | 101-123 | Loss | -104 | 29 h 51 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the UNDER Kings/Jazz. Sacramento won't be going down without a fight here. The Kings are still in the mix for the eighth playoff spot and with the All Star break looming, I expect the visiting side to come to play tonight. Certainly the Kings won't be lacking for motivation after three straight close losses. The Jazz are 9-1 in their last ten games. Utah's lost loss came in its last game though, inexplicably falling to the Pelicans by a score of 138-132. Key Trends: - Utah averages 110.2 PPG. - Sacramento averages 106.8 PPG. The verdict: Both teams come in off higher-scoring contests, but this particular one has defensive battle written all over it; play the under! |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Pistons v. Hawks +2 | Top | 136-103 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 22 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the Atlanta Hawks. Detroit is coming in off a rare win over the Celtics, but I think it'll take a step back here. The Hawks come in off an impressive win at San Antonio just last night and I believe this young and hungry home side carries that confidence and momentum over in this one. The Pistons are receiving inconsistent play from game to game with Blake Griffin still sidelined with injury. Trae Young and the Hawks though have in fact won two in a row, after also upsetting the Suns previous to last night's victory. The All Star break is looming and I believe Young will keep the foot on the gas in this favorable home matchup this evening.  Key Trends: - The Hawks are 11-6 ATS in their last 17 at home. - Detroit is just 6-13-1 ATS in its last 20 road games. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, play on the home side! |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Wizards +10 v. Raptors | Top | 111-140 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH-OF-THE-TITANS is on the Washington Wizards. Toronto is going to be in the playoffs at the end of the year and depending on how healthy it is, it has a legitimate shot at once again advancing to the NBA Finals. At 13-27, the Wizards are already planning and looking ahead to next year. All of that said, I do indeed feel though that this one favors the hungry visiting side, as I look for Toronto to come out and flat and to get caught looking past its lowly opponent tonight. Toronto is in Minnesota tomorrow night, followed by a game in Atlanta, so the "look ahead" is also a concern for Raptors bettors tonight. Washington plays with revenge after a 122-118 loss to Toronto in the team's most recent action. And with two whole nights off before a home game vs. the Pistons, the Wizards' full focus is on trying to upset the defending champs here. Key Trends: - Washington is already 7-3 ATS this year (that's 70%) as a road dog in the 6.5 to 12 points range. - Toronto is already a disturbingly poor 0-4 ATS this season off an puset win as a road underdog. The verdict: Grab the points and expect a competitive battle until the final moments! |

01-16-20 | Magic v. Clippers UNDER 217 | Top | 95-122 | Push | 0 | 16 h 33 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the UNDER Magic/Clippers. Orlando's surprisingly been one of the hottest teams in the league over the last two weeks, but after last night's 119-118 victory over the Lakers just last night in this same building, I believe the wheels finally come off the bus for the visiting side tonight. I think the Magic come out flat here, especially with much more "winnable" games at lowly Golden State and Charlotte to finish out their road-trip. The Clippers come in off a 128-103 win over the Cavaliers, but with a night off before a long six-game road trip, the home side also has a legitimate "look ahead" situation to overcome here. Key Trends: - The Magic have seen the total go under the number in five of their last six after two or more straight ATS/SU victories. - LA has already seen the total go under the number in 11 of its last 17 following a SU home win. The verdict: When taking into account all of the above factors, I definitely feel that this number is too high; play the under! |
|||||||
01-15-20 | Pistons +9.5 v. Celtics | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 24 h 45 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Detroit Pistons. On paper, the Celtics are the better team. They also have the home floor advantage. But Detroit is the "hungrier" team tonight and while I'll stop short in calling for the outright upset, I do think that the writing is on the wall and a "nail biter" is in the cards. Detroit enters off a tough OT loss to the Pelicans, while the C's come in off a double-digit win over the Bulls. Yes, Detroit is down to Andre Drummond and Derrick Rose for the most part, but it clearly will be hungry to get off the schneid. Also note that the Celtics are expected to rest offensive star Jason Tatum this evening. Key Trends: - Detroit is 5-1 ATS in its last six after allowing 105 points or more in five straight games. - Boston is just 3-5 ATS in its last eight after two straight victories by ten points or more. The verdict: The clincher? I think it sets up as a "look ahead" spot as well, as Boston is in Milwaukee tomorrow night to take on the East leading Bucs. Grab the points and expect a battle until the final horn! |
|||||||
01-14-20 | Rockets v. Grizzlies +4.5 | Top | 110-121 | Win | 100 | 27 h 20 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Memphis Grizzlies. Houston comes in off a win over Minnesota, but I think it'll have its hands full in this difficult road venue this evening. The Grizzlies won't be going down without a fight at home and they enter playing their absolute best ball of the season, having won six straight after a victory over the Warriors last time out. The Rockets are going to be without Russell Westbrook tonight though, as the super star guard will not play both games in a back-to-back situation, with Houston at home to Portland tomorrow night. That's then followed by the Lakers coming to town next weekend. This not only sets up as a letdown spot in my opinion for the Rockets, but it's also a look ahead spot. Letdown/look-ahead = trap. Ja Morant has posted double digits in scoring during the Grizzlies six-game run. Key Trends: - The Grizzlies are 5-0 ATS in their last five after allowing 100 points or more in their previous outing. - The Rockets are interestingly just 1-6 ATS in their last seven vs. home teams with a losing SU record. The verdict: For sure the outright victory is possible, but in the end I'm going to grab the points! |
|||||||
01-12-20 | Hornets v. Suns -8 | Top | 92-100 | Push | 0 | 13 h 35 m | Show |
My 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the Phoenix Suns. Charlotte has somehow already taken two of three from Phoenix in the season series this year. The Suns broke a two-game slide though with a win over Orlando last time out and I thikn they're going to pull away late here for a convincing victory as well. The Hornets on the other hand are coming off another terrible performance, falling 109-92 to the Jazz. Key Trends: - Charlotte is interestingly already 1-5 ATS this year when playing on a "Sunday." - The Hornets are just 9-10 ATS this year after playing a road game. - Phoenix is interestingly 3-0 ATS this season already after failing to cover the spread in three or more straight games. The verdict: The Suns are fully healthy and they're finally starting to play together as a team. This one has home side "blowout" written all over it; play on the Suns! |
|||||||
01-10-20 | Magic v. Suns -1.5 | Top | 94-98 | Win | 100 | 28 h 11 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE YEAR is on the Phoenix Suns. The Suns won four straight ATS, but they come into this one "desperate" after back-to-back losses. First it was a 121-114 setback to the Grizzlies, who were playing their second game of a back-to-back. Then it was a 114-103 loss at home to Sacramento. The Suns are ready to get back into the winners circle here with some very "winnable" games ahead of them. After tonight they have Charlotte at home, followed by the Hawks and Knicks on the road. Note as well that the Suns play with revenge here after falling 128-114 to the Magic back in early December. The Magic come in off back-to-back wins, beating Brooklyn 101-89 and Washington 123-89. Complacency is an issue for this Orlando team and maintaining consistency on the road from one game to the next has been a weak point as well. With upcoming games at Sacramento, the Lakers and the Clippers, Orlando could very well be caught "looking past" their lowly non-conference opponent tonight as well. Key Trends: - Orlando is a poor 3-7 ATS in its last ten off a home victory vs. a division rival (including 0-2 ATS this year.) - Phoenix has been "lights out" in a "revenge role" this year, going 17-6 ATS in that department (including 7-2 ATS in revenging a loss of ten points or more.) The verdict: Check out Orlando's five road victories this year: twice against the Cavs, twice against the Wiz and also vs. the Pelicans. I look for this revenge minded and amped up home side to lay the hammer down from start to finish; lay the points! |

01-08-20 | Rockets v. Hawks UNDER 235.5 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 60 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH is on the UNDER Rockets/Hawks. These teams mets back on November 30th and the Rockets annihilated the Hawks 158-111. Suffice it to say, I'm expecting a much lower-scoring defensive battle this time around. Houston comes in off back-to-back wins, most recently an impressive 118-108 win at Philadelphia. But with a game tomorrow night at Conference rival OKC on Thursday, the chance to look ahead is also very present for the visiting side. The Hawks have won two of their last four games, but they're out to redeem themselves after their most recent 123-115 setback to Denver. Key Trends: - Houston has seen the total go under in eight of 12 as a road favorite this season. - Atlanta has seen the total dip below the posted number in nine of its last 13 as a home underdog. The verdict: I think the Rockets go up early and then take the foot off the gas as they prepare for tomorrow night's game vs. the Thunder. I also expect the home side to play with pride here as it looks to avenge the earlier blowout loss; this number is high, play the under! |

01-07-20 | Knicks v. Lakers -13.5 | Top | 87-117 | Win | 100 | 31 h 58 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE MONTH is on the LA Lakers. New York has surprised people of late and it most recently took the Clippers down to the wire in this very building, but eventually falling 135-132. The Lakers have continued to win, but they haven't been blowing teams out of the water or anything. But I think that the writing is on the wall and a major letdown for the Knicks is imminent here. The Lakers have won four straight, most recently a 106-99 win over Detroit in which they posted 20 blocks. Key Trends: - New York is interestinly just 6-12 ATS in its last 18 after a close loss by three points or less (including going 1-3 ATS this year.) - The Knicks are just 7-10 ATS this season after covering the spread in their last game. - The Lakers are 2-1 ATS this season as a home favorite of 12.5 or more points. The verdict: The Lakers have been a popular fade over the last month, but I think that trend ends quick fast in a hurry tonight. Lay the points, because I'm expecting a blowout! |

01-06-20 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 209.5 | Top | 115-104 | Loss | -108 | 27 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE YEAR is on the UNDER Pacers/Hornets. While the Pacers still have one of the best records in the Eastern Conference, they'll be eager to return to form here after a "brain fart" loss to the Hawks in their latest action. Charlotte enters off back-to-back road wins, including an OT victory in Dallas last time out. Can anyone say "letdown spot?!" The Pacers are one of the top defenses in the league as well, holding opponents to just 106.2 PPG. Key Trends: - Indiana has seen the total go under the number in 21 of its last 34 as a road favorite (including in six of nine this season.) - Charlotte has already seen the total dip below the posted number in ten of 15 as a home dog this season. The verdict: I think Indiana is out to control the tempo of this one. I also believe that the young Hornets are poised for a bit of a letdown after their successful road trip. All of the above factors add up to my 10* TOTAL OF THE YEAR on the under! |

01-05-20 | Blazers +6 v. Heat | Top | 111-122 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 46 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the Blazers. Portland lost by 20 in New York, but it bounced back finally in the Nation's capital with a convincing win over the Wizards last time out. The Blazers won't be lacking for motivation here and I feel they offer great value to sneak in under the radar here and (at the very least!) score the comfortable ATS cover. I think the combination of CJ McCollom, Damian Lillard and Carmelo Anthony keep the visiting side in this one late. The Heat come in off a terrible 105-85 home loss to Orlando as well on Friday. And with a couple nights off before three straight road games vs. Eastern Conference opponents, would anyone fault the home side in some small way looking past its lowly non-conference opponent tonight? Key Trends: - Portland is interestingly 16-6 ATS in its last 22 vs. the Southeast Division (including 3-0 ATS this season). - The Blazers are 3-1 ATS in their last four as a road dog of six points or less. - Miami is already a poor 1-4 ATS this season as a home favorite of six points or less. The verdict: I like the very hungry visiting side to take this one down to the wire; grab the points! |

01-04-20 | Hornets +12.5 v. Mavs | Top | 123-120 | Win | 100 | 27 h 54 m | Show |
My 10* BEWARE OF DOG plays in on the Charlotte Hornets. The Hornets broke a five-game slide with a 109-106 outright win in Cleveland last time out and I think they offer great value to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch here as well. Dallas broke a two-game slide with a 123-111 win over the Nets in its last outing, but this is a spot in which they've struggled in for bettors in the past and I think those trends carry over here. Key Trends: - As note that Dallas is a poor 7-10 ATS at home this season. - Also note that the Mavs are a terrible 4-8 ATS this season after scoring 120 points or more in their previous outing. - Conversely note that the Hornets are a sharp 10-5 ATS in their last 15 on the road. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, grab the ample points! |

01-02-20 | Hornets v. Cavs OVER 210 | Top | 109-106 | Win | 100 | 26 h 24 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK is on the OVER Hornets/Cavaliers. Neither team is known for its offensive prowess, but each comes in hungry and looking for a win here. Fortunately for each, neither plays great defensively either. These are professionals and the chance to win a game when playing for one of these clubs doesn't come around too often. I believe each side is going to push the pace and open up the playbook. Key Trends: - Charlotte has seen the total go over in 11 of 17 as a road dog already this season. - Cleveland has seen the total eclipse the posted number in six of its last eight after a blowout loss by 15 points or more. The verdict: Both the ATS numbers/trends and the overall situation point to the "over" as the correct call in this one! |
|||||||
12-31-19 | Mavs v. Thunder OVER 219.5 | Top | 101-106 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 41 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the OVER Mavs/Thunder. The Thunder are 17-15 and are better than most thought they'd be. They come in off a big win over the Raptors as well and they'll be looking to kick this Mavericks team while it's down, as Dallas enters off a humbling loss to the Lakers. That said, clearly Luka Doncic and company will be out to atone for their lacklustre performance last time out. The Thunder average and allow right around 109 PPG. Dallas averages 116. Key Trends: - Dallas has seen the total go over the number in 11 of 16 on the road already this season. - OKC has seen the total go over the number in four of its last five after playing two straight on the road. The verdict: I like the Mavs to push the pace from start to finish and I look for the home side to respond; play the over! |
|||||||
12-30-19 | Pistons +10 v. Jazz | Top | 81-104 | Loss | -107 | 12 h 14 m | Show |
My 10* U OF THE U is on the Detroit Pistons. These teams are moving in opposite directions. The Pistons have lost six of seven, while Utah has won seven of eight. Detroit won't be lacking for motivation here today though and I do indeed feel that this sets up as a trap/look-ahead spot for the now complacent home side. Utah enters off a 120-107 win over the Clippers as well, which further lends itself to this being a "letdown" spot for the Jazz in my opinion. Key Trends: - Detroit is 11-5 ATS in its last 16 after a blowout loss by 20 points or more (including 2-1 ATS this season.) - Utah is only 6-8 ATS at home this season. - The Jazz are just 2-4 ATS this year off a road victory. The verdict: I like the "hungrier" team to keep this one tight until the final moments; grab the points! |

12-28-19 | Nets v. Rockets -9 | Top | 98-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
My 10* ULTIMATE OF THE ULTIMATE is on the Houston Rockets. Both teams are coming off poor efforts. The Nets though are injured and have zero momentum and I think that trend of futility gets carried over here. Most recently Brooklyn fell 94-82 to the lowly Knicks. The lone bright spot was Spencer Dinwiddie, who had 25 point sin the setback. Overall Brooklyn averages and concedes 111 PPG. The Rockets won four in a row before an X-Mas Day upset at Golden State, falling 116-114. Russell Westbrook had 30 points in the setback: "We were up by 13 in the first half and for some reason we decided to start fouling them and putting them on the line and that cost us," coach Mike D'Antoni said. "Defensively we gave up 64 points in the first half and that's not good enough." Key Trends: - Houston is 9-1 ATS in its last ten when playing on two days rest. - The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five following a SU loss of more than ten points. - Brooklyn is only 1-4 ATS in its last five vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600. The verdict: The Rockets were embarrassed on National TV in front of the whole world just a couple of days ago and now they get a chance to annihilate this injured Nets team. Expect a blowout! |

12-27-19 | Bucks -11 v. Hawks | Top | 112-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
My 10* BLOWOUT BEST OF THE BEST is on the Milwaukee Bucks. After getting embarrassed on X-Mas Day in Philadelphia, I look for the Bucks to bounce back here and to take out their frustrations on the lowly Hawks. Whether Giannis Antetokounmpo plays or not tonight, I like Chris Middleton and the Bucks to deliver the goods here. Milwaukee has incredible depth and it's defense is going to be able to slow down this weak Hawks' attack. ATL most recently lost in Cleveland and it enters the post-X-Mas break with zero momentum. Overall the Hawks concede 118.6 PPG, the worst in the NBA. Key Trends: - Milwaukee is 30-11 ATS in its last 41 off an upset loss as a favorite (including 3-1 ATS this season.) - ATL is just 3-5 ATS this year revenging a same season loss vs. an opponent. The verdict: This one has all the makings of an epic blowout; lay the points! |

12-26-19 | Blazers v. Jazz UNDER 220 | Top | 115-121 | Loss | -116 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
My 10* TOTAL BIG TIGERS is on the UNDER Blazers/Jazz. Two teams hungry for a victory collide in this one and when the smoke does finally clear, I believe this one will fall well below the posted number. Portland comes to town rested after its four game win streak was snapped inexplicably by the New Orleans Pelicans. The Jazz though are in the exact same boat, as their five-game win skein came to a crashing halt with a blowout loss to the Heat in their last outing. From an overall "situational" stand point, all signs point to a lower-scoring defensive battle in my opinion. Key Trends: - Portland has seen the total go under in 14 of 23 this year when the total is greater than or equal to 220. - Utah has seen the total dip below the posted number in three of four this year after allowing 105 points or more in three straight games. The verdict: This one has the feel of a "chess match," rather than a run and gun "shootout." Play the under! |
|||||||
12-26-19 | Wizards v. Pistons -6 | Top | 102-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show |
My 10* REVENGE U OF THE U is on the Detroit Pistons. They say "revenge is a dish best served cold." Washington has already taken the first two meetings between these teams and it enters off a rare road win over the Knicks in its last game. Can anyone say "letdown" spot? Detroit on the other hand enters off another terrible peformance, this time falling at home to the 76ers. The Pistons are desperate for a victory and they play with the "double revenge" factor. I think the revenge angle works here tonight. Key Trends: - Washington is an unbelievably bad 10-21 ATS in its last 31 when playing with two days rest. - Detroit is 3-1 ATS in its last four after a blowout loss by 15 points or more. The verdict: The stage is set for a massive lop-sided blowout for the home side here; lay the points! |
|||||||
12-23-19 | Pelicans v. Blazers -6 | Top | 102-94 | Loss | -100 | 14 h 36 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland is quietly dominating right now and I think it'll keep the foot on the gas for at least one more game. The Blazers enter having won four in a row and five of their last six. Damian Lillard has scored 27 or more in his team's five straight victories, while big man Hassan Whitesite has double double efforts in ten straight games. The Pelicans are coming off a loss to Golden State on Friday and with an X-Mas day matchup which was supposed to showcase their dynamic rookie up next, I believe they suffer a predictable letdown here as well. Key Trends: - Portland is 4-1 ATS in its last five vs. teams with a win percentage bleow .400. - New Orleans is a poor 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven as a road underdog. The verdict: The Blazers last six victories have come by at least seven points or more; expect that strong trend to continue tonight vs. the hapless Pels! |
|||||||
12-21-19 | Bucks v. Knicks +12.5 | Top | 123-102 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 20 m | Show |
My 10* BIG TIGER is on the New York Knicks. The Knicks fell 129-114 in Miami, but I think the offer great value here to push the Bucks to the limit here. Milwaukee enters off a highly satisfying win at home over LeBron James and the Lakers and with a game the following night at home vs. Indiana, before their X-Mas day game at Philadelphia, would anyone fault the Bucks for having a letdown/look-ahead?! Key Trends: - Milwaukee is only 4-7 ATS this year after a non-conference game. - New York is 7-2 ATS already this season in revenging a blowout loss vs. an opponent of 20 points or more. The verdict: It's a "trap game" for the Bucks in my opinion and I like the hungry home side to comfortably sneak in through the back door down the stretch with the sizeable spread that it's been afforded tonight; grab the points! |

12-20-19 | Mavs v. 76ers -8 | Top | 117-98 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 21 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH OF THE TITANS is on the 76ers. I base my picks on many different things. This one has to do primarily with common sense. Dallas won its first game over the Bucks without star player Luka Doncic in the line-up, but the team has predictably struggled since. I believe that trend continues here in this difficult non-conference venue. The Mavs are fresh off a 109-103 loss at home to Boston. And the 76ers come in focussed, as after a five-game win streak, they enter having lost two straight. Key Trends: - Philadelphia is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six home games vs. a team with a winning road record. - Dallas is interestingly just 5-7 ATS in non-conference games this year. The verdict: For all the reasons listed above, lay the points! |

12-19-19 | Rockets v. Clippers -5 | Top | 122-117 | Loss | -101 | 27 h 16 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH-OF-THE-TITANS is on the LA Clippers. The Rockets got out to an 11-3 start, but they've since fallen off, going just 1-5 ATS in their last six. Russell Westbrook is struggling to find chemistry with James Harden as he's averaging only 22.8 percent shooting. Also note that the visitors come to town with significant injuries to key players (Eric Gordon and Gerald Green.) Houston's defense has been atrocious this year and I think that the home side is going to go for the jugular tonight. The Clippers are 21-8 and they play with revenge here after falling to the Rockets in Houston earlier in the year. Paul George didn't play in that one and LA has had to deal with several injuries to open the season. But all key players are back and available to go in this contest. Key Trends: - LA is 4-0 ATS in its last four at home. - Houston is a poor 1-4 ATS in its last five following a SU win. The verdict: Chemistry issues, poor defense and injuries come back to haunt the Rockets tonight; lay the points! |

12-17-19 | Kings v. Hornets +4.5 | Top | 102-110 | Win | 100 | 26 h 3 m | Show |
My 10* GAME OF THE WEEK is on the Charlotte Hornets. The Kings have been playing better, winning for of their last five. They beat the Warriors in Golden State last time out, but I think they'll have a difficult time maintaining that momentum vs. this hungry home side. The Hornets do allow 111.1 PPG, but the Kings are only averaging 104.8 per contest. Charlotte's three-game win streak came to an end last time out vs. the Pacers. The Kings allow 106.9 PPG and the Hornets average 104.5. Key Trends: - Sacramento is 2-5 ATS in its last seven after allowing 90 points or less. - The Kings are only 6-7 ATS this year vs. clubs with losing records. - Charlotte is already 4-1 ATS this year after playing three straight road games. The verdict: With two whole nights off before back-to-back games at Indiana and Memphis to end this trip, I believe the visiting side gets caught "looking ahead" as well. Grab the points! |

12-16-19 | Spurs +10.5 v. Rockets | Top | 107-109 | Win | 100 | 26 h 60 m | Show |
My 10* CLASH-OF-THE-TITANS is on the Spurs. The Spurs have struggled with defensive consistency this season. SA comes in off an OT win over the Suns and I think it takes a run at the Rockets here on the road as well. Houston comes in off a 115-107 loss to Detroit. Key Trends: - San Antonio is interestingly 7-4 ATS in its last 11 road games following an OT ATS victory. - Houston is only 10-12 ATS in its last 22 off a home loss (including only 1-2 ATS this season.) The verdict: I think San Antonio's depth and resolve keeps it in this game late; grab the points! |
