02-27-15 | Golden State Warriors -118 v. Toronto Raptors | Top | 113-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
Warriors - pick The Toronto Raptors finished out a four-game road trip with three straight losses and have the misfortune to host the NBA-best Golden State Warriors on Friday before heading back out on the road.Warriors are 14-5-2 ATS in their last 21 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Raptors are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. Western Conference and are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. Warriors are 17-4 ATS in the last 21 meetings and I like them to get the road win. |

02-26-15 | Oklahoma City Thunder -4 v. Phoenix Suns | Top | 113-117 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
Thunder – 4 Oklahoma City has been streaking up the Western Conference standings while Phoenix has been sputtering as the Suns attempt to slow down the Thunder. Oklahoma City is shooting to record its eighth straight victory and has moved up to seventh place in the West. Phoenix halted a five-game losing streak by cruising to a 110-96 victory over the Denver Nuggets just last night. The win over Denver was just the second in 10 games for Suns, who were in eighth place at the All-Star break and quickly dipped to 10th. Phoenix moved point guards Goran Dragic and Isaiah Thomas at the trading deadline and that will continue to hurt this team. Thunder are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. win. Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Thunder are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Phoenix and we’ll back them tonight. |

02-26-15 | Golden State Warriors v. Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 | Top | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show |
Cavs – 3.5 The Golden State Warriors are in the middle of a six-game road trip and needed another star performance from Stephen Curry to avoid a second straight loss on Tuesday. The Warriors have rarely met a hotter team this season, but that could be the case when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland has won 17 of its last 19 to move into third place in the Eastern Conference and, like Golden State, the defensive end has been a focus. Cleveland has held its opponent to 93 or fewer points in each of its last four wins and is spreading the ball around on offense the way it was envisioned when the team was put together. Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. Cavaliers are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 vs. Western Conference and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. This is a tough spot for the Warriors on the road. Lay the points with King James and the Cavs. |

02-25-15 | Los Angeles Clippers +3 v. Houston Rockets | Top | 105-110 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Clippers + 3 The Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers have made dramatic upgrades to their rosters in recent years, but it’s the Clippers who still have Houston’s number heading into their matchup Wednesday night. They’ve won six straight and nine of the last 10 against the Rockets, most recently on Feb. 11 in Los Angeles, as the Clippers held NBA-leading James Harden to nine points in the 110-95 victory. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Rockets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Clippers are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings and are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Houston. Back the Clippers on the road. |

02-25-15 | Dallas Mavericks v. Atlanta Hawks -6.5 | Top | 87-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
Hawks – 6.5 The last time Atlanta played at home it suffered a surprising lopsided loss and picked up a second consecutive defeat for the first time in over three months. The Hawks, who still own an NBA-high 25 home wins, will attempt to regain their dominance at Philips Arena when they welcome the Dallas Mavericks. The Hawks will have had two full days of rest while the Mavericks will have flown in late after rallying to knock off Toronto by a 99-92 margin on Tuesday night. Mavericks are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Hawks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay it with the Hawks. |
|||||||
02-24-15 | Toronto Raptors v. Dallas Mavericks -4 | Top | 92-99 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show |
Mavs – 4 Toronto will have had little time to recover from a damaging loss when it continues a challenging four-game road trip at Dallas on Tuesday. The Raptors led by as many as 18 points against a shorthanded New Orleans team playing without three of its top four scorers before fading down the stretch in a 100-97 defeat on Monday. The Raptors are 8-4 in the second half of back-to-backs but were crushed in such a scenario at Houston on Saturday and will be playing a rested Mavericks squad that has a pair of 11-point wins thus far on its three-game homestand. Raptors are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a S.U. loss and are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. NBA Southwest. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Atlantic and are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference. Dallas is 14-4 all-time at home against Toronto and they get the win and cover tonight. |
|||||||
02-22-15 | Memphis Grizzlies +3.5 v. Portland Trail Blazers | Top | 98-92 | Win | 102 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Grizzlies + 3.5 The Memphis Grizzlies finally resume play following the All-Star break and hope to have standout center Marc Gasol suited up when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Gasol missed back-to-back practices due to an illness and the club termed him as probable. Memphis has won the first two meetings between the Western Conference powers, including a 112-99 win in Portland on Nov. 28.Trail Blazers are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Grizzlies are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss and are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take the points with Memphis on the road. |
|||||||
02-21-15 | Toronto Raptors v. Houston Rockets -2 | 76-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rockets – 2 The Houston Rockets attempt to notch their eighth consecutive home win over Toronto when they host the Raptors on Saturday. Toronto last won in Houston on Feb. 28, 2007. The Raptors began play after the All-Star break with a convincing 105-80 road win over the Atlanta Hawks while Houston suffered a 111-100 road loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Raptors are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win. Rockets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a S.U. loss. Home team is 11-2-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. With both teams coming off a road game I’ll back Houston at home. |
|||||||
02-20-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers -3 v. Washington Wizards | Top | 127-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Cavs – 3 With the toughest remaining schedule of any Eastern Conference team, it's a good thing that Cleveland is playing its best basketball of the season. The challenge begins Friday when the Cavaliers begin a stretch of 11 of 14 games on the road when they visit the Washington Wizards. Cleveland had won 14 of 15 prior to getting waxed 113-98 in Chicago on Feb. 12 despite 31 points from James. Cavaliers are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games overall and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Wizards are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 3 or more days rest and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. loss. Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Washington so lay the small number on the road. |
|||||||
02-20-15 | Toronto Raptors v. Atlanta Hawks -5.5 | Top | 105-80 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 15 m | Show |
Hawks – 5.5 The Atlanta Hawks look to earn their NBA-leading 44th victory when they host the Toronto Raptors. The Hawks are keen to continue where they left off before the All-Star Break as they won 22 of their last 25 contests. The Raptors have won three consecutive games but will be put to the test in a grueling road gauntlet that will see them face four teams with winning records in five nights. Raptors are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. Hawks are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and are 14-2 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Hawks have won 20 of their last 21 games at Philips Arena and I’m backing them tonight. |
|||||||
02-19-15 | San Antonio Spurs -3 v. Los Angeles Clippers | Top | 115-119 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 20 m | Show |
Spurs – 3 The Spurs will try to leapfrog the Clippers for the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference when they visit Los Angeles. The loaded West has pushed defending-champion San Antonio into seventh at the All-Star break despite wins in 11 of the last 14 games. San Antonio has not dropped back-to-back games since Dec. 25 and 26 and is hoping for a stretch run similar to last season, when it went 20-1 from the All-Star break through the end of March. Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest.Spurs are 13-5 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Los Angeles. Lay the small number with the Spurs. |
|||||||
02-16-15 | Kansas -1.5 v. West Virginia | Top | 61-62 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Kansas – 1.5 Six games stand in between No. 9 Kansas and its 11th straight Big 12 title, although No. 20 West Virginia can do its part to help stop that run. The Mountaineers hope to avoid their fourth defeat in their last five games. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was critical of everything from his team’s performance to the officiating as the Mountaineers fell apart late in Saturday’s 79-59 loss at Iowa State. Kansas won for the seventh time in its last eight contests on Saturday, preserving its two-game edge over Iowa State by rallying from a 13-point first-half deficit at home to upend Baylor by ten. Jayhawks are 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Mountaineers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |
|||||||
02-12-15 | Cleveland Cavaliers -125 v. Chicago Bulls | Top | 98-113 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
Cavs  Both Cleveland and host Chicago are prepared to be without key members of their starting lineup when they meet Thursday in the final NBA game before the All-Star break. The Cavaliers, who have won 14 of their last 15 after a 113-93 rout of Miami on Wednesday, lost forward Kevin Love to a corneal abrasion in the third quarter and his status for Thursday is unclear as he is questionable. The Bulls have won three in a row, including a 104-86 victory over Sacramento on Tuesday in which standout shooting guard Jimmy Butler was knocked out with a shoulder injury. He is out tonight. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Bulls are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games and are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games playing on 1 days rest. This will be a very close game and I’m backing the Cavs on the money-line. |
|||||||
02-11-15 | Washington Wizards v. Toronto Raptors -5 | Top | 93-95 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
Raptors – 5 The Toronto Raptors look to conclude their five-game homestand with a winning record when they host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday. The Raptors have won back-to-back games, including a hard-fought 87-82 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. Toronto has already set a franchise record for most wins before the All-Star break and hopes to continue its winning ways by beating the Wizards for the third consecutive time. Washington has struggled recently against the Raptors - dropping six of the last seven meetings. Toronto has scored 120 or more points in three of its last six games. Wizards are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Raptors are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Wizards are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Back the Raptors at home. |
|||||||
02-11-15 | New York Knicks v. Orlando Magic -5.5 | Top | 83-89 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show |
Magic – 5.5 The Orlando Magic are looking for positives out of the last 27 games of a disappointing season, and one would be to win more on their home court. The Magic prepare to host the struggling New York Knicks on Wednesday night. The Knicks are losers of four straight, have the least wins in the league with 10 and leading scorer Carmelo Anthony left Monday’s loss at Miami in the fourth quarter after aggravating a left knee injury. He is most likely out tonight. Nikola Vucevic recorded 34 points and 18 boards in the last game against the Knicks and leads the team in scoring (19.4) and rebounding (11.2). Knicks are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 vs. NBA Southeast. Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Lay the points with the Magic. |
|||||||
02-10-15 | Houston Rockets +2 v. Phoenix Suns | Top | 127-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
Rockets + 2 The Phoenix Suns continue to fall on the short end of close games this season and they’ll try to reverse that trend when they host the Houston Rockets. Phoenix is averaging 95.4 points in its past eight games, which is 12 points below its average during the first 45. Harden has picked up the scoring void left behind by Howard who is injured, averaging 28.4 points in the last seven games to ease his scoring average to a league-leading 27.5. He’ll do some damage vs. the Suns soft defense. The Suns have been struggling of late, losing 4 of last 5 and covering just 5 in their last 16 games. Suns are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Rockets have won and covered 4 straight against Phoenix and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points. The Rockets get the road victory. |
|||||||
02-09-15 | Oklahoma City Thunder -5.5 v. Denver Nuggets | Top | 124-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Thunder – 5.5 The Oklahoma City Thunder proved how explosive they can be with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook healthy and in the lineup together in a big win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Thunder will try to keep the momentum going when they visit the Denver Nuggets for the second night of a back-to-back on Monday. The Nuggets are losers of 12 of their last 13 games and have dropped five in a row at home. Thunder are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Nuggets are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NBA Northwest and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.Oklahoma City has taken four of the last six in the series but dropped a 107-100 decision at Denver without Westbrook and Durant on Nov. 19. Look for the Thunder to be in revenge mode and win this game going away. Lay the points. |
|||||||
02-09-15 | Atlanta Hawks -6 v. Minnesota Timberwolves | Top | 117-105 | Win | 100 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
Hawks – 6 The top team in the East will face the bottom team in the West when the Atlanta Hawks visit the Minnesota Timberwolves. Atlanta will need a bounce-back game from their post tandem of Al Horford and Paul Millsap, who combined for 10 points on 4-for-21 shooting in Sunday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and I think they will. The Hawks lost Sunday for only the second time in 32 games this season when holding opponents under 100 points. Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss and are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 vs. Western Conference. Timberwolves are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 games playing on 0 days rest. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota and I’ll back them tonight. |
|||||||
02-08-15 | San Antonio Spurs -119 v. Toronto Raptors | Top | 82-87 | Loss | -119 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
Spurs         San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich will try for career win No. 1,000 when the Spurs visit the Toronto Raptors in a key game Sunday night. The matchup is also monumental because the Spurs are opening a nine-game, three-week road trip that will cover just over 8,000 miles. The Raptors are coming off an impressive 123-107 victory against the visiting Los Angeles Clippers, which came on the heels of bad losses to the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets. Spurs are 23-11 ATS in their last 34 games playing on 1 days rest. Raptors are 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 games overall and are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Spurs are 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings and I like them on the road tonight. |
|||||||
02-08-15 | Atlanta Hawks v. Memphis Grizzlies -2 | Top | 88-94 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show |
Grizzlies – 2 Memphis had an eight-game winning streak come to an end with a 90-89 loss at Minnesota on Friday while squandering a seven-point lead with less than two minutes left. Standout forward Zach Randolph, who missed the first meeting vs. the Hawks while recovering from a knee injury, will be looking for a bounce-back game against the Atlanta front line after going for a season-low six points against the Timberwolves. Memphis (95.9) and Atlanta (96.9) both rank in the top four in the NBA in scoring defense. I’m looking for a little let down from the Hawks after their big win vs. Golden State on Friday. Hawks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Sunday games. Grizzlies are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. The home team gets this slugfest. |
|||||||
02-07-15 | Portland Trail Blazers v. Dallas Mavericks -3.5 | Top | 101-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
Mavs – 3.5 The Portland Trail Blazers attempt to halt a six-game road losing streak when they visit the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Portland hasn't won away from home since beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 11and winning in Dallas could be a tough task as the Trail Blazers have lost 23 of their last 29 visits. The Mavericks experienced a four-game losing streak but have emerged to win four of their last five games.Trail Blazers are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Mavericks are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Northwest. Trail Blazers are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Dallas. Lay the small number with Dallas at home. |
|||||||
02-07-15 | Chicago Bulls v. New Orleans Pelicans +2.5 | Top | 107-72 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 58 m | Show |
Pelicans + 2.5 The Pelicans have won seven of their last nine to move within a half-game of the Phoenix Suns, who occupy the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Chicago Bulls look to snap a season-long three-game losing skid when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday. Pelicans are 10-1 against the points in 2nd night of back-to-back games this season. The Pelicans have covered 5 of last 6 games against Chicago and I like them tonight at home. |
|||||||
02-06-15 | Golden State Warriors -121 v. Atlanta Hawks | Top | 116-124 | Loss | -121 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Warriors The Atlanta Hawks and the Golden State Warriors both have comfortable leads on the rest of their respective conferences. The two juggernauts will try to decide which team is the best in the NBA when the Warriors visit the Hawks. Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Warriors have taken five straight in the series, including three in a row at the Hawks. This will be a great game and I have Golden State grabbing the road win. |
|||||||
02-05-15 | Dallas Mavericks -2.5 v. Sacramento Kings | Top | 101-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show |
Mavs – 2.5 The Dallas Mavericks looked like they would easily extend their winning streak to four straight and post their most impressive win of the season at Golden State on Wednesday before falling apart. The Mavericks will try to turn the page quickly and avoid back-to-back losses when they visit the Sacramento Kings. The Kings can relate after dropping a 25-point decision to the Warriors on Monday. Sacramento has lost nine of its last 10 games and was completely lost on the defensive end. The Kings Cousins will get a tough battle on Thursday from Dallas center Tyson Chandler, who was one of the consistent bright spots against the Warriors with 21 points and 17 rebounds. Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400 and have taken five straight in the series. Mavericks are 27-11 ATS in their last 38 games following a SU loss of more than 10 points. Kings are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. we’ll lay the small price with the Mavs. |

02-05-15 | Los Angeles Clippers +5 v. Cleveland Cavaliers | Top | 94-105 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
Clippers + 5 Los Angeles is 2-2 thus far on a season-high eight-game road trip and has likely needed its last two days off to get past a miserable collapse at Brooklyn on Monday. Clippers PF Blake Griffin had 34 points and 10 rebounds in the loss to the Cavaliers last month. Cavaliers PF Kevin Love was 1-of-7 from the floor against Philadelphia and is shooting 34.4 percent over a five-game slump. Clippers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest. Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings. No one is really talking about the Clippers right now, which might be a good thing. I’ll take the points with the Clippers in a game that comes down to the final minutes.  |

02-04-15 | Chicago Bulls +3.5 v. Houston Rockets | Top | 90-101 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
Bulls + 3.5 Houston has managed to get by without star center Dwight Howard, out another month with a knee injury. It hopes to not go down the same road with James Harden, who is expected to return from a bruised knee. Harden was limited to 20 points on 7-of-22 shooting in a 114-105 loss at Chicago just over a month ago.Chicago will take full advantage of four days off between games after it admitted to a degree of fatigue in the loss to Phoenix. Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Rockets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Back the live road dog here. |

The Hawks suffered a 115-100 defeat at New Orleans on Monday - their first loss since Dec. 26 - but have won 33 of their last 36 overall and 10 straight at home. Wizards coach Randy Wittman criticized his team's effort after a 92-88 home loss to Charlotte on Monday ran their losing streak to three games and dropped them to 9-10 since Dec. 30. Washington's three-game skid matches its longest of the season, and the Wizards have allowed 106 points per game during the skid. Wizards are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Knicks +1 The New York Knicks have doubled their victory total over the last seven games and attempt to record another win when they host the Boston Celtics. New York has won five of its last seven games after forward Carmelo Anthony scored 18 of his 31 points in the third quarter of Sunday’s 92-80 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Boston has lost three consecutive games after falling 83-75 to the Miami Heat on Sunday.

76ers’s + 8 The Denver Nuggets have lost three straight games against Eastern Conference opponents while dropping nine of their last 10 overall. Denver had little success against a sub.-500 East team at home while being crushed 104-86 by the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. The 76ers will be playing the second night of a back-to-back after battling into the fourth quarter of a 97-84 loss at Cleveland on Monday. Nuggets are 19-41-2 ATS in their last 62 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record and are 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 2 days rest. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.

02-02-15 | Memphis Grizzlies -2.5 v. Phoenix Suns | Top | 102-101 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 20 m | Show |
Grizzlies – 2.5 The red-hot Memphis Grizzlies look to register their seventh consecutive victory when they visit the Phoenix Suns on Monday. Memphis possesses the second-best record in the Western Conference, has a solid 14-7 road mark and delivered an impressive 85-74 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday. Phoenix has won 16 of its last 23 games but suffered one of the defeats on Saturday when a soft second half led to a 106-87 road loss against the Golden State Warriors. Before holding the Thunder to 74 points, Memphis held the Denver Nuggets to 69 points two nights earlier to began back-to-back stellar defensive efforts. Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Phoenix.

Hawks – 3.5 The Atlanta Hawks got a couple of scares over the weekend but made it through with their winning streak intact and the best record in the NBA to the right of their name in the standings. The Hawks just completed the best month in NBA history and will try to make it 20 straight victories when they open February by visiting the New Orleans Pelicans. The Hawks could catch a break on Monday if Pelicans star Anthony Davis (groin) is forced to miss a second consecutive game. He most likely will play but not be 100 %. Hawks are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 vs. Western Conference and are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Road team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Atlanta snapped a three-game losing streak in the series with a 100-91 win on Nov. 28. Lay the points with Hot Atlanta. |

Grizzlies – 6.5 After his team's effort Wednesday against New York, Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said the Knicks outworked his club and that the Thunder need to fix that "soon." It wouldn’t be easy vs. red-hot Memphis. Oklahoma City, which is playing its seventh and final road game in a stretch of eight games, has lost three of four. Without Kevin Durant (toe) for a second straight game, Brooks wasn't satisfied with the effort in the embarrassing 100-92 loss to New York. Kevin will most likely be out again and if not he will not play at 100%. Thunder are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. Western Conference. Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win and are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. Lay the points with Memphis. |

Hornets + 13 Charlotte has won nine of its last 11 games and managed to survive without Walker in a 76-71 triumph over the New York Knicks on Sunday as Roberts went for 17 points in the starting role. The Hornets still are slowly working Al Jefferson (groin) back into a bigger role and he was on the floor for 30 minutes against the Knicks, though he slumped to nine points on 4-of-14 shooting in the expanded time. Hornets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a S.U. win. Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference and are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest.

Pelicans – 6 The New Orleans Pelicans aim to add to their season-best four-game winning streak when they host the struggling Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The hot streak has pushed the Pelicans a season-high three games above .500 and into ninth in the Western Conference, 1 1/2 games behind eighth-place Phoenix. The Nuggets have lost seven straight. The Nuggets have struggled to a 6-15 mark on the road while the Pelicans are 15-5 at home. Nuggets are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference.

The Cavs kept rolling with a 103-95 win at Detroit on Tuesday. The Trail Blazers have dropped four of their last six. Cleveland's trifecta of stars is starting to jell, and it was point guard Kyrie Irving who erupted to match his season high with 38 points in Tuesday's win. Cavaliers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Western Conference. Trail Blazers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Cavaliers are 21-1 when scoring at least 102 points, which they have achieved in every game during their winning streak and should reach that tonight. Lay the number with the Cavs. |

Mavs – 5.5 The Dallas Mavericks have suffered back-to-back losses but at least Monta Ellis is pulling out of his scoring slump. Ellis will try to follow up a 36-point effort when the Mavericks host the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis Guard Mike Conley is very questionable for this game. Grizzlies are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Dallas.

Raptors – 3.5 The Toronto Raptors look to string together three straight wins for the first time since mid-December when they hit the road to face the Indiana Pacers. Indiana had lost seven in a row - including back-to-back setbacks to the lowly Philadelphia 76ers and Minnesota Timberwolves - before snapping its skid with a 106-99 win over the Orlando Magic. DeMar DeRozan broke out of a slump by pouring in 25 points on an 8-of-14 effort from the field in the win over the Pistons after being limited to 14 points on 6-of-34 shooting in his previous three games so it looks like he has his legs back under him. DeRozan told reporters. "Every single day I'm feeling more comfortable and better." Jonas Valanciunas added 20 points and 11 rebounds versus the Pistons for his third double-double in his last four outings. Pacers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Raptors are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Indiana Lay the small number with Toronto. |

Celtics + 7.5 The Boston Celtics are turning some heads on their road trip and will try to keep up their high level of play when they visit the Utah Jazz on Monday. The Celtics dropped 24 in a row on the road against Western Conference teams before edging Portland and Denver, and they gave the NBA-best Warriors all they could handle in a 114-111 loss Sunday. Jared Sullinger, Avery Bradley and Evan Turner have been the leaders of the recent surge, and Sullinger is averaging 18.2 points and 8.4 rebounds in the last five contests.

He has a total of 14 points in 88 minutes over his last three games, shooting 17.6 percent while missing all five of his 3-point tries in the process. DeRozan's slump is part of a season-high five-game stretch in which the Raptors have been held below 100 points. Pistons are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

When it seemed just a matter of time before the fully-healthy Oklahoma City Thunder would catch the Suns for the eighth spot in the West, Phoenix rolled off wins in 14 of its last 19 games. Phoenix has been playing well but had its seven-game home winning streak ended on a buzzer-beater by James Harden in a 113-111 loss to Houston on Friday. Clippers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a S.U. win and are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

The Hornets are trying to stay relevant in the West and need this win before returning home for nine of the next 10 games and they should have little problems with this depleted Minnesota team. Davis returned from a one-game absence and finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and four blocks against the Lakers. Gordon, who missed most of the first half of the season (shoulder), is averaging 17 points on 20-of-43 shooting and 6.7 assists in his last three games.Timberwolves are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games playing on 1 days rest and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

The Hawks aim for a record 15th straight victory Friday at home against Oklahoma City, which has won four in a row of its own.

The Thunder started 3-12 while stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were battling injuries, but they've won two straight and seven of 11 to complete their climb out of the early hole.

The Hawks have continued to give key players nights off during their season-high 10-game run, which includes a 105-91 triumph in Boston on Wednesday, when starters Al Horford and Kyle Korver were given the night off. Jeff Teague, who scored 22 points against the Celtics, sat out the previous night at Philadelphia in the opener of a four-game road trip.

After his scathing postgame comments, Van Gundy will look for a better effort by the Pistons when they visit the Indiana Pacers on Friday. The Pacers are also coming off a poor home performance against the hapless Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday that resulted in a chorus of boos from the crowd. The Pistons entered Wednesday with nine wins in their first 10 games.  The Pistons won the first matchup 119-109 on Dec. 26, the first game without Smith, as Monroe and Drummond dominated inside with a combined 39 points on 16-of-23 shooting, 21 rebounds and six steals.Â

Portland defeated the Los Angeles Lakers 106-94 on Sunday to secure its 30th win and post the third-best start in franchise history. Los Angeles completed a 6-3 homestand by losing 104-90 to the Miami Heat on Sunday and coach Doc Rivers was high disappointed with his club’s effort.

Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and are 48-20 ATS in their last 68 games following a S.U. loss. Kings are 3-10-2 ATS in their last 15 home games and are 4-15-2 ATS in their last 21 games overall. I see to many edges to pass up here with the Mavs, so lay the points. |

The Wizards earned a big win on Friday over Chicago but were crushed against another East contender in a 120-89 loss at Atlanta on Sunday. The Wizards are in the middle of the pack in the NBA in defensive 3-point percentage, allowing opponents to knock down 35.3 percent, but held the Spurs to 4-of-16 from beyond the arc in the Jan. 3 meeting. Spurs are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a S.U. win and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Wizards are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss.

Detroit has one of the most intimidating post duos in the league in Greg Monroe (14.9 points, 9.7 rebounds) and Andre Drummond (12.6 points, 13 rebounds, 1.8 blocks). Toronto had uncharacteristically allowed triple digits in five straight games before the win over the Celtics on Friday. Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Â Pistons are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a S.U. win. Â Take the points with the Pistons. |

Pistons – 5 The Detroit Pistons hope to start another winning streak when they host the struggling Brooklyn Nets on Saturday. The Pistons had their improbable seven-game winning streak snapped with a 106-103 loss to Atlanta on Friday, but the Nets limp into town after suffering their fourth straight loss with a 90-88 setback to lowly Philadelphia. Pistons are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Nets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 0 days rest and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Let’s lay the points with the Pistons here at home. |

Suns + 5 The streaking Phoenix Suns look for their fifth straight victory when they visit the struggling San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Phoenix edged the Minnesota Timberwolves 113-111 on Wednesday for its 10th win in 12 games and has scored 100 or more points in 10 consecutive contests. San Antonio has been dealing with injuries and has lost nine of its last 14 games after falling 105-104 to the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday. The Suns are averaging 113.4 points over their last 12 games, more than nine points higher than their average through their first 26 contests. Suns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Â Suns are also 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. I look for the Suns to keep up their scoring trend and cover this game. |

01-09-15 | Atlanta Hawks -2.5 v. Detroit Pistons | Top | 106-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
Hawks – 2 ½ The Detroit Pistons have been one of the NBA's hottest teams over the past two weeks, but they'll have to contend with a club that has been surging for much longer when they host the Atlanta Hawks. The Pistons have won seven straight — the longest current streak in the league and Detroit's longest in six years. The Hawks have been even hotter, winning six straight and 20 of 22 to take over the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Atlanta has great balance, with all five starters averaging double-digit scoring, but point guard Jeff Teague (17.7 points, seven assists) has emerged as the go-to guy late in games. Hawks are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS win. Pistons are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I’ll back the Hawks on the highway. |

01-08-15 | Miami Heat v. Portland Trail Blazers -8.5 | Top | 83-99 | Win | 100 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Portland – 8 ½ The Miami Heat found their way into the win column for the first time this year against Brooklyn on Sunday and will try to carry some of that momentum when they open a five-game West Coast road trip at the Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday. The Heat have been held under 90 points in the last two games and will need to find more offense against the Trail Blazers. Portland is averaging 106.2 points in winning five of its last six games. The Heat are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 vs. Western Conference and are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Heat are also just 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a S.U. win. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. I look for Miami to be a little weary on their first game on a West Coast trip so back Portland minus the points. |

01-07-15 | Detroit Pistons +9 v. Dallas Mavericks | Top | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
Pistons + 9 Two of the hottest teams in the league tangle Wednesday, as the Dallas Mavericks host the resurgent Detroit Pistons in a matchup of clubs riding six-game winning streaks. The Mavericks' hot streak is no surprise — they're tied for third in the Western Conference and boast one of the most potent offenses in the NBA. The Pistons, meanwhile, have won all six games since waiving free-agent bust Josh Smith. Dallas hits the road again following tonight’s contest for three games out west, so this could be a flat spot for Rick Carlisle’s team, who owns a 3-8 ATS record in the past 11 games at American Airlines Center. Take the points with Detroit. |

Hawks – 3.5 Division leaders and potential championship contenders square off when the Atlanta Hawks host the Memphis Grizzlies. The Hawks have won five straight and 19 of their last 21 to claim the best start in club history and surge to the top of the Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks are doing it with a balanced attack — all five starters average double-digit scoring with point guard Jeff Teague (17.4 points, 7.1 assists) and power forward Paul Millsap (17.2 points, 8.1 rebounds) leading the way. The Hawks also are fairly stingy, ranking fifth in the NBA in scoring defense (97.6), sixth in field-goal defense (43.9 percent) and eighth in 3-point field-goal defense (34.3). Grizzlies are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Grizzlies are 4-10 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Atlanta. Hawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 vs. Western Conference. |

Pelicans – 4 The New Orleans Pelicans look to get back on track when they hit the road to face the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. The Pelicans continued their recent trend of following up a win with a loss after their 92-85 setback to the Washington Wizards on Monday.  Charlotte has dropped 13 of its 16 games against Western Conference teams. Pelicans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games and are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. NBA Southeast. Hornets are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Southwest. Pelicans are 16-4-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings and have won four of the last five road meetings with the Hornets.

Suns – 3.5 The Milwaukee Bucks gave a memorable performance while losing prized rookie Jabari Parker for the season when they met the Phoenix Suns last month. Milwaukee strives to post a second win over the Suns on Tuesday at a time when red-hot Phoenix has won eight of its last 10 games. The Suns were dominant from start to finish in posting a 125-109 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Milwaukee will be thin in the frontcourt with both Ersan Ilyasova (concussion) and Larry Sanders (personal reasons) sidelined, and swingman Jared Dudley and guard O.J. Mayo are both questionable with illnesses. Suns are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. Suns are also 50-22-1 ATS in their last 73 games playing on 1 days rest and are 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Milwaukee. Lay the points with the Suns. |

Jazz – 2 The Indiana Pacers continue to struggle and look to bounce back from a disappointing defeat when they visit the Utah Jazz on Monday. Indiana led most of the contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and finally succumbed 88-87 on Kobe Bryant’s decisive shot with 12.4 seconds remaining. The Pacers are playing the third contest of a four-game road trip, while Utah is playing well with six victories in its last nine games. Pacers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. The Jazz get the home victory. |

The Bulls are playing the fourth contest of a five-game homestand and are hopeful leading scorer Jimmy Butler (bereavement leave) will be back after missing Saturday’s overtime victory over the Boston Celtics. Rockets are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 1 days rest and are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. lay the small number here with the Bulls. |

Grizzlies + 1 The Memphis Grizzlies are enjoying a franchise-best 24-8 start and look to add another win to the ledger when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Saturday. Memphis has fed on Western Conference opponents and improved to 16-4 against such clubs by posting a 109-106 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Denver has lost three consecutive games with the first two coming at home to drop its mark to 9-8 at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets have struggled on defense of late, allowing more than 100 in six straight games and giving up an average of 107.8 points during the stretch. The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Nuggets are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 vs. Western Conference and are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. I’m backing Memphis on the road here. |

Hawks – 4 Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver did well in their return to Utah last March and they’ll look to repeat that performance when the Atlanta Hawks visit the Utah Jazz on Friday. Millsap was even better when these teams met in Atlanta in November, producing 30 points and 17 rebounds. Utah did suffer a significant blow this week when Alec Burks was ruled out for the rest of the season because of a shoulder injury that required surgery. Atlanta has won seven of its last eight and 16 of 18 to move into second in the East behind the Toronto Raptors. Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Jazz are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Atlanta stays hot here on the road. |

Mavs – 6 Rajon Rondo enjoyed eight-plus seasons with the Boston Celtics, playing in four All-Star games and winning two assists crowns and one NBA title. On Friday, Rondo returns to the city that traded him two weeks ago when the Dallas Mavericks visit Boston. He and the Mavericks are coming off their most impressive win since acquiring the mercurial point guard, a 114-87 thrashing of the Washington Wizards. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference and are 59-26 ATS in their last 85 road games. Mavericks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Boston. Celtics are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. The Mavs are the play. |

Thunder – 7.5 The Thunder are 3-3 since Kevin Durant went down with a sprained ankle, but received some good news as the All-Star small forward practiced with the team for the first time in almost two weeks and will play tonight. Suns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 0 days rest and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a S.U. loss. Suns are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City. Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games overall. The Thunder have won 12 of the last 14 meetings with the Suns and I like them to cover this one. |

12-30-14 | Cleveland Cavaliers v. Atlanta Hawks -3 | Top | 101-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
Hawks – 3 The Atlanta Hawks don't boast the star power of the Cleveland Cavaliers, but they have a big cushion in the Eastern Conference standings. The Hawks aim to add to that lead when they host the Cavaliers on Tuesday. The first two meetings this season - both in Cleveland - have been lopsided affairs with the Cavaliers trouncing the Hawks 127-94 on Nov. 15 and Atlanta repaying them with a 127-98 victory Dec. 17. The Hawks, who are 13-3 at home this season, have won three straight meetings in Atlanta dating to Nov. 30, 2012. Atlanta has won 15 of its last 17 games including eight of nine at home, and it’s doing so without a bona fide star. All five starters average double-digit scoring with point guard Jeff Teague (16.6 points, 6.9 assists) and big men Paul Millsap (16.5 points, 8.1 rebounds) and Al Horford (14.6 points, 6.5 rebounds) leading the way. The balance is borne from an unselfish approach at the offensive end, as Atlanta ranks second in the league with 25.7 assists and has recorded assists on an NBA-best 68.2 percent of its field goals. Atlanta is 16-1 when holding opponents under 100 points, including a 10-0 mark at home. The Hawks are the play at home. |

Magic + 1 ½ Detroit has been a bad basketball team but it sure did look pretty good while delivering a beating on LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday. That game aside they are still a bad team. The Magic have won back-to-back games, including a 102-101 win over the Miami Heat on Monday as center Nikola Vucevic scored 26 points and guard Victor Oladipo scored 22. Orlando won the first meeting 107-93 on Nov. 17 with Vucevic contributing 25 points and 14 rebounds. This line is short to me and I’m backing the Magic. |

12-29-14 | Chicago Bulls -5 v. Indiana Pacers | Top | 92-90 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Bulls – 5 The Chicago Bulls are winners of six straight games and are asserting themselves as one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference. Chicago can win by dominating in the frontcourt with Pau Gasol, Joakim Noah and Taj Gibson or by turning things over to Jimmy Butler and Derrick Rose in the backcourt. The Pacers shot 50 percent or better from the field in each of the last four games after failing to hit the mark in any of their first 27 contests. They will have a hard time doing that vs. this Bulls defense. The Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. The Pacers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. The Bulls are an outstanding 13-4 on the road this season and should have little problems with the Pacers tonight. Lay the points. |

Rockets + 1 The Houston Rockets are loading up for a run at their first NBA title in 20 years, and the next stop on their journey is a trip to take on the defending champion San Antonio Spurs on Sunday. The Rockets aim for their third straight win over a Western Conference contender after knocking off Portland and Memphis in their past two games. The scuffling Spurs have dropped two straight and six of seven after a 97-90 loss at New Orleans on Friday. The reinforced Rockets got 21 points and eight rebounds from newly-acquired forward Josh Smith in his Houston debut Friday, as he put up a team-high 21 shots in 32 minutes off the bench in a 117-111 overtime win over the Grizzlies. San Antonio will have its hands full guarding Harden with defensive whiz Kawhi Leonard sidelined with a hand injury and point guard Tony Parker nursing a sore hamstring. Those two also are among the team's top three scorers, putting the load on veterans Tim Duncan (16.1 points, 10.8 rebounds) and Manu Ginobili (12.8 points, 5.2 assists) while they are out. This one is close but the Rockets come away with the road victory. |

New Orleans has covered 4 of last 5 against the Bulls, including winning SU last 2 in Chicago. Pelicans beat San Antonio yesterday, and are 7-0 vs. the points in 2nd of back-to-back games. New Orleans hangs tight in this one so take the points. |

12-26-14 | San Antonio Spurs v. New Orleans Pelicans -3.5 | Top | 90-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 14 m | Show |
Pelicans – 3 1/2 The New Orleans Pelicans posted one of the biggest upsets of the early season when they beat the San Antonio Spurs last month and they’ll try for a repeat performance when they host the Spurs on Friday night.  New Orleans forward Anthony Davis made a game-winning layup with 6.6 seconds left in the 100-99 victory Nov. 8, and he’s been hot lately, hitting the 30-point mark in three of the last five games. The Spurs are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 vs. NBA Southwest and are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in New Orleans.The Pelicans are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Look for the Spurs to be a little tiered tonight after that Christmas Day loss to OKC. |

12-26-14 | Houston Rockets v. Memphis Grizzlies -2 | Top | 117-111 | Loss | -107 | 6 h 13 m | Show |
Memphis – 2 Coming off arguably the best performance of his career, James Harden returns to the site where he had his worst outing of the season when the Houston Rockets visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. Harden had 44 points, seven assists and five steals, reaching those gaudy numbers for the second time in his career, in Monday's 110-95 rout of Portland. However, he'll have his sights set on Memphis, which held the bearded lefthander to a season-low six points on 1-of-8 shooting in a rout Nov. 17. Memphis should be fully focused here are having lost its last three. The Grizzlies played the Warriors, Spurs, Bulls and Cavs in a six-day span and wound up losing to lowly Utah following that road trip. After getting the last three days off I expect a strong performance from Memphis here. The Grizzlies are 7-1 SU and ATS in its last eight home meetings with the Rockets. |

Spurs – 5 The San Antonio Spurs are trying to stay afloat in the loaded Western Conference without one of their best defensive players, but they might catch a break and miss one of the league's top offensive stars on Christmas Day. The Spurs host an Oklahoma City team that is likely to be without reigning MVP Kevin Durant on Thursday. The Thunder have lost three of four as they scramble to keep up in the West during an injury-plagued season. San Antonio turned in one of its most impressive offensive showings of the season against the Clippers, shooting a blistering 63.6 percent and dishing out a season-high 37 assists. Thunder are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 road games and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings and home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Spurs get the win and cover. |

Unfortunately, only one of the teams kept up its end of the bargain. The Wizards are off to one of the best starts in franchise history, but the host Knicks are on a five-game skid and have the most losses in the league. Wizards are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Knicks are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games.

Phoenix just completed a 3-0 road trip and will try to turn around its shady home play as it is just 6-7 in front of the friendly fans. Mavericks are 48-17 ATS in their last 65 games following a S.U. loss and are 59-25 ATS in their last 84 road games. Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.

The Hawks improved to 5-2 against the West with a 105-102 win at Dallas on Monday, their fourth straight win and 13th in 14 games. The Clippers have lost five straight road games in the series dating to 2009. Los Angeles dropped its fourth straight overall on the road with a 125-118 loss at San Antonio, falling to 8-6 away from home. The Clippers can't expect to change their fortunes in Atlanta unless they tighten up their defense. Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Hawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record and 12-2 at home this season. |

The Wizards had rattled off six wins in a row and needed one more victory for their best start in franchise history, but dropped a surprising 104-92 decision to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. Washington hopes to rebound quickly by beating the Bulls for the fourth time in five tries at the Verizon Center. The Bulls are off an explosive win last night over the Raptors and will be a little sluggish tonight.  Washington has won eight of its last nine home games and they get the win and cover over the Bulls. |

The rebuilding Celtics will look for an improved effort out of their three newcomers when they visit the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Three days after trading Rondo to Dallas, Boston shot 39.8 percent and set a season low for points scored in Sunday's 100-84 setback at Miami.

Atlanta defeated the Houston Rockets 104-97 on Saturday to record its 12th win in 13 games. Hawks PG Jeff Teague (hamstring) has missed two straight games and is questionable to probable for Monday.

The Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. We’re backing the Clippers here on the road. |

12-18-14 | Oklahoma City Thunder v. Golden State Warriors UNDER 211 | Top | 109-114 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
Thunder at Warriors Under 211 Oklahoma City was one of the victims on Golden State’s streak, but that 91-86 loss on Nov. 23 came without Durant and Westbrook around. Oklahoma City has allowed an average of 92.4 points in its last 10 games and is 9-1 in that span. Golden State has been under the total in six out of 9 home games. The under is 14-3 in Thunder last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and is 23-7 in the Thunder last 30 overall.  The under is 8-2 in Warriors last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game and is 6-0 in Warriors last 6 home games. I see real value on under the total here. |

12-17-14 | Houston Rockets v. Denver Nuggets +2 | Top | 115-111 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Nuggets + 2 Denver’s Arron Afflalo bounced back from a disappointing display versus the Rockets by pouring in a season-high 31 points against the Spurs and has finished in double figures in five straight games. Danilo Gallinari (knee) could be back in the Denver lineup tonight. Dwight Howard is listed as questionable and may rest after coming back and playing on Saturday. The Rockets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record and are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win. The Rockets are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings and are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Denver. The Nuggets are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. |

12-17-14 | Atlanta Hawks +4.5 v. Cleveland Cavaliers | Top | 127-98 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
Hawks + 4.5 The Atlanta Hawks surged up the Eastern Conference standings by taking advantage of weak competition, but now they're trying to keep up their hot streak against some of the league's elite teams. Atlanta has won 10 of its last 11 heading into a tough road test against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. The Cavaliers, who have won nine of their last 11, blew out the Hawks in the first meeting this season, a 127-94 rout Nov. 15 in Cleveland, so the Hawks will want revenge. Kevin Love is questionable for the Cavs and that will help the Hawks inside game. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The Cavaliers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Take the points with Atlanta. |

12-16-14 | Golden State Warriors v. Memphis Grizzlies -2.5 | Top | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show |
Grizzlies – 2.5 The Golden State Warriors survived a back-to-back on the road with their winning streak intact and are staring at their toughest test of the last month. The Warriors will attempt to push their franchise-record winning streak to 17 games when they visit the team closest to them in the Western Conference in the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies are winners of four in a row.  Memphis appears to be in the best position to knock off Golden State, which is playing the finale of a three-game road trip, and will again be without center Andrew Bogut (knee) and forward David Lee (hamstring). Grizzlies are 43-19-1 ATS in their last 63 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Warriors are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings. This will be a great game to watch on ESPN and I’m back the Grizzlies at home. |

12-15-14 | Chicago Bulls v. Atlanta Hawks -2.5 | Top | 86-93 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
Hawks – 2 1/2 Two surging Eastern Conference contenders clash when the Atlanta Hawks host the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The Hawks look to bounce back after having their nine-game winning streak snapped Saturday at Orlando, while the Bulls aim for their fourth straight win. The Hawks will be happy to be back home, where they are 11-2 and have won six straight. The Bulls won 93-75 at Miami on Sunday and maybe a little sluggish. The Bulls are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games following a S.U. win and are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss. |

12-15-14 | Chicago Bulls v. Atlanta Hawks UNDER 197 | Top | 86-93 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show |
Bulls/Hawks Under 197 Atlanta mirrors Chicago in that the Hawks have a defense-first philosophy and have been playing well at home. The Under is 5-0 in Bulls last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Under is 19-7 in Hawks last 26 games playing on 1 days rest. The Under is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings. |

12-15-14 | Los Angeles Lakers +5 v. Indiana Pacers | Top | 91-110 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 57 m | Show |
Lakers + 5 After a rare instance of being celebrated on the road, Kobe Bryant hopes to resume the role of enemy when the Los Angeles Lakers try to sweep a three-game road trip Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers look to extend their season-best three-game winning streak. The injury-riddled Pacers have dropped eight straight overall and are 2-9 against Western Conference teams. The Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall and are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games. The Road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. |

12-14-14 | Phoenix Suns v. Oklahoma City Thunder -6.5 | Top | 88-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Thunder – 6 ½ The Phoenix Suns hold the eighth and final playoff position in the loaded Western Conference, but the finally-healthy Oklahoma City Thunder are charging hard and can come within one-half game with a victory against the visiting Suns on Sunday.  The club has won seven of eight to get themselves back in the playoff picture. Phoenix has started to sink, losing four straight and six of eight. Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.  Thunder are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games and are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. Western Conference. The Thunder get this game by a good margin and cover the number. |
