02-10-16 | Raptors -6 v. Wolves | Top | 112-117 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 58 m | Show |
Raptors The Toronto Raptors look to continue their dominance over Minnesota on Wednesday as they attempt to defeat the host Timberwolves for the ninth consecutive time. Toronto has won 20 of the past 21 meetings, with Minnesota's lone win during the stretch occurring on Jan. 29, 2011. The Raptors are flying high with 14 victories in their last 15 games and All-Star guard DeMar DeRozan says the team's maturity also is soaring.A victory over Minnesota would allow Toronto to match the franchise record for most victories before the All-Star break, set last season.Raptors are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games.

02-10-16 | Grizzlies -4 v. Nets | Top | 109-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
Grizzlies The Grizzlies have had a hard time closing out tight games in their last two and are trying to avoid a three-game slide heading into the All-Star break. I think they give it their all in tonight’s road game vs. the lowly Nets. Memphis has taken three straight in the series, including a 101-91 home victory on Oct. 31.Grizzlies are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference and are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.Nets are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. |

02-10-16 | Nuggets v. Pistons -5 | Top | 103-92 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
Pistons The Detroit Pistons need a win heading into the All-Star break to maintain a winning record into the season’s nominal second half. The Pistons will try to stay above .500 and win for just the third time in the last eight games when they host the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. The Nuggets paid for leaving Joe Johnson open at the top of the key on the final play of their last game, when the veteran burned them for a game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer in a 105-104 loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Denver squandered an opportunity to match its season-best winning streak of three with the loss. Denver is still trying to figure things out on the defensive end and allowed the Nets to shoot 51.9 percent from the floor on Monday.Nuggets G Jameer Nelson (wrist) and F Darrell Arthur (quadriceps) are both questionable. The home team has taken five straight in the series. Nuggets are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Detroit. Pistons are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and are 15-4 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. |

Celtics The Boston Celtics are winners of eight of their last nine games and shocked the Eastern Conference-leading Cleveland Cavaliers with a last-second win on Friday. The Celtics will try to keep rolling when they return home to host the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. The Celtics’ recent surge has pushed the team all the way into a tie for third place in the East, and they have a chance to maintain that momentum through the All-Star break with two of the next three games at home. The Kings don’t seem to be in any position to stop Bradley and the Boston offense after letting the Brooklyn Nets, who entered Friday 29th in the league in scoring average, go off for 128 points and 18 3-pointers in a nine-point loss. The setback marked the sixth in the last seven games for Sacramento, which is surrendering an average of 116.4 points in that span and is reportedly considering a coaching change.

Celtics The Boston Celtics' bench continues to provide a big boost as they inch their way up the Eastern Conference standings. Those reserves were big in a win at New York on Tuesday and will be relied on again in a quick turnaround Wednesday at home against Detroit.It was the sixth win in seven games for Boston, which has vaulted into a tie with Atlanta for fourth in the East. Detroit is in the midst of a busy stretch in which it plays five contests in a span of seven days and things have been made more difficult by a series of nagging injuries, as Reggie Jackson (thumb), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (oblique), Ersan Ilyasova (thigh) and Marcus Morris (knee) are each at less than 100 percent. Coach Stan Van Gundy wonders if the physical issues are the primary reason his team has given up at least 100 points in seven of nine games this month.

76ers Wins continue to come far less frequently than the Philadelphia 76ers hope, but there are small steps forward for a team that opened the season with 18 consecutive losses. Philadelphia hosts the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday after pushing NBA champion Golden State in a 108-105 home defeat Saturday, and the 76ers ended January with victories in three of their final seven contests. The Sixers do continue to battle despite owning the NBA’s worst record. The Hawks are not struggling anywhere near the level Philadelphia is enduring, but Atlanta’s 60-win campaign from a season ago feels like an aberration. Atlanta beat the Mavericks at home on Monday 112-97, getting a season-high 32 points from Jeff Teague in snapping a three-game losing streak. Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.76ers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS win. |

Sacramento averaged 125 points while winning two home contests against Los Angeles earlier this season and is averaging 116.4 points during the five-game series winning streak. The Lakers have lost seven of their last eight games in a season that is revolving around Kobe Bryant's health. Bryant is dealing with Achilles' tendon and shoulder injuries and coach Byron Scott said Tuesday that Bryant will play against the Kings. Sacramento has won five of its last eight games and is aiming to making a run at the eighth and final playoff position in the Western Conference.

Knicks The New York Knicks and the Utah Jazz both spent Monday afternoon engaging in double-overtime contests, but only the Knicks came away from the marathons happy. The Jazz will try to bounce back from their disappointing setback in Charlotte when they visit New York on Wednesday. Utah owns one of the top scoring defenses in the league but struggled on that end of late, allowing at least 99 points in each of the last five losses. The Jazz got defensive anchor Rudy Gobert back in the middle but power forward Derrick Favors (back), who warmed up with the team before Monday’s game but did not play, has missed 14 straight games and there is no firm timetable for his return. New York got one star back from injury with Anthony’s return but lost another when Kristaps Porzingis when down in the fourth quarter on Monday with a foot injury but he is expected to play tonight. The 20-year-old Latvian delivered 16 points and 12 rebounds before leaving on Monday and has scored in double figures in each of the last nine games.

Wizards The Miami Heat are banged up, struggling and will be beginning another long road trip when they visit Washington on Wednesday in the opener of a five-game trek. Playing without several key players and with star Dwyane Wade bothered by a shoulder issue, the Heat fell 91-79 to Milwaukee on Tuesday in their only home game in a span of 12 contests. Miami has been held under 80 points in consecutive outings and is 1-5 in a six-game stretch. Washington's 108-98 loss to Portland on Monday was emblematic of their inconsistent season as a whole, as it lost the first and third quarters by a combined 31 points but won the second and fourth by a combined 21 points. I’m looking for the Wizards to improve here in a big game at home. Wizards C Marcin Gortat has posted a pair of double-doubles since returning from a three-game absence due to a knee infection.

Milwaukee won the matchups by an average of 9.8 points and Tuesday's contest is the first of three 2015-16 meetings.Milwaukee limited Miami to 89.8 points per game in last season's four meetings. Miami is home for one game before embarking on a five-game road trip - and the Heat just finished a six-game excursion on Sunday by being drubbed 99-74 by the Oklahoma City Thunder.Miami will offer a shorthanded roster against the Bucks after swingman Gerald Green (knee) left the Oklahoma City loss and is expected to join point guards Goran Dragic (calf) and Beno Udrih (neck) on the sideline. Milwaukee has won back-to-back games and six of its last 10 as it attempts to get into the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Bucks are averaging 105 points over their past four contests.

Grizzlies The New York Knicks may be looking at a future centered around rookie Kristaps Porzingis, but Carmelo Anthony is still the most important player on the team at present. The Knicks hope to have Anthony back on the court when they visit the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday as he is questionable. New York fell to 0-3 on the season without the star forward in the lineup when Porzingis struggled to carry to load in a 110-104 loss at lowly Brooklyn on Wednesday. The Grizzlies are missing a key piece as well with point guard Mike Conley (left Achilles) down, but backup Mario Chalmers is stepping right in to take his place. Chalmers scored a team-high 25 points on Thursday and buried a jumper with eight-tenths of a second left to give Memphis a 103-101 victory over Detroit. Knicks are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games playing on 2 days rest.Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.Memphis has taken four straight in the series. |

Behind 28 points and eight assists from John Wall, Washington soared past Indiana on the road Friday night and are playing better ball, but the Celtics have too much depth on the bench for Washington to handle.

76ers The 76ers could be in a position to snap the slide against the slumping Bulls, who dropped a 106-101 decision at Milwaukee on Tuesday for their third consecutive loss. Chicago is also once again concerned about point guard Derrick Rose, who left the loss late in the fourth quarter with tendinitis in his left knee. Philadelphia put together a strong performance against East-leading Cleveland on Sunday but slumped to 16 points in the fourth quarter of the 95-85 loss. The 76ers are on the upswing behind point guard Ish Smith, who did his best with 18 points, 10 assists and seven rebounds against Cleveland. Bulls are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.

The Warriors, who bounced back by crushing the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, will have a chance for some quick revenge when they host the Bucks on Friday. After knocking off the best team in the league, the Bucks suffered a 113-95 loss to one of the worst at the Lakers as the things they did well on Saturday – perimeter defense – abandoned the team, and Wednesday’s 103-90 loss to the Clippers did not go any better.

Hornets + 1.5 Orlando plays seven of the next eight games on their home court before New Year’s Day, starting with a visit from the Southeast Division-rival Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. Charlotte shares first place with Miami in the Southeast Division and comes in off a 98-93 loss to Boston after running off four straight victories. The Hornets have depended a lot on guards Kemba Walker and Nicolas Batum, who combined to average 45 points the last two games and should have a good game here. The Hornets are among the league leaders with 10 makes from 3-point range per game. Charlotte won the last two meetings while allowing an average of 86.5 points last season and are 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Orlando..

Celtics + 2.5 The Boston Celtics took the reigning NBA champions to double overtime before falling just short on Friday and are hoping to get over the hump when they host the other NBA finalists. The Celtics, who bounced back from that loss to the Golden State Warriors by knocking off Charlotte on Saturday, will welcome the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday. Boston is emerging as more of a threat to the Cavaliers than they were last season and impressed with their effort at Charlotte one night after the tough loss to the Warriors. Cavaliers are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win and are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Atlantic. Celtics are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall and are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Take Boston as the home dog. |

The Mavericks earned a 116-104 road victory Sunday to extend their winning streak to 11 games against the Wizards and have won five straight at home versus Washington, including a 27-point rout last December. The Wizards need a win any way they can get it after dropping a 107-105 decision at New Orleans on Friday night. Washington has lost eight of its last 11 contests and shooting guard Bradley Beal sat out Friday’s game with a sore right leg and is questionable for tonight. Mavericks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss and they get my money tonight. |

While the Celtics were fighting tooth and nail deep into the night, the Hornets were able to rest their regulars down the stretch in an impressive 123-99 win at Memphis on Friday.

Bargnani will try to put together two solid performances in a row when the Nets host the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. Bargnani came off the bench and delivered 13 of his season-high 23 points in the fourth quarter as Brooklyn secured a 100-91 victory over visiting Philadelphia – its sixth win in the last seven home games.

Pacers – 4.5 The Indiana Pacers were the hottest team in the NBA east of the Golden State Warriors in November but are having a more difficult time generating wins in December. The Pacers will attempt to snap a three-game slide when they host the Miami Heat on Friday. Indiana went 11-2 in November and won its December opener but fell at Portland and at Utah to close out a four-game road trip before falling into a deep hole and watching a comeback come up short in a 131-123 home loss to the Warriors on Tuesday. The Heat are in a similar rut on the defensive end and allowed an average of 106.5 points in back-to-back losses, raising their season mark to 93.3. Miami is having a hard time knocking off the teams that figure to be in direct competition for Easter Conference playoff spots, with its last four losses coming against Charlotte, Washington, Boston and Detroit.

Minnesota has no intention of removing its last two lottery picks – Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins – from the starting lineup but would like to see Wiggins break out of a shooting slump. The reigning Rookie of the Year went 3-of-15 from the floor in a 110-106 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday that dropped the Timberwolves to 2-9 at home. Lakers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.Timberwolves are 4-22-1 ATS in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.Lakers are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Minnesota and I’ll take the points here. |

Thunder – 2.5 Thunder forward Kevin Durant missed last month's meeting due to a hamstring injury and he's coming off the type of triple-double a player doesn't want - 20 points, 10 rebounds and 10 turnovers. That effort in Sunday's 98-95 victory over Sacramento became acceptable as Durant drained the go-ahead jumper with 23 seconds left.The Grizzlies also won a close finish on Sunday as Jeff Green's dunk with 0.5 seconds left gave them a 95-93 victory over the Phoenix Suns. Memphis PF Zach Randolph is averaging 9.5 points on 9-of-26 shooting over the past two games and is not at 100%.

San Antonio has experienced few problems handling the Celtics while recording eight straight victories in the series, including a 95-87 win in Boston on Nov. 1. The Spurs rolled to a 103-83 road win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday as small forward Kawhi Leonard made a career-high seven 3-pointers as part of a 27-point effort. The Celtics are 2-1 on a five-game road trip and rolled to a 114-97 victory over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday in a contest played in Mexico City.

Heat James and Cavaliers take another swipe at ending their nine-game losing streak in Miami when they visit the Heat on Saturday. Cleveland figures to arrive in a foul mood on the heels of back-to-back defeats to Washington and New Orleans — the latter a 114-108 overtime loss on Friday. Miami has been playing well with eight victories in 11 games and posted a 97-95 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. James played 45 minutes in Friday's overtime loss — he had 37 points and eight assists — so he certainly won't be fresh in his latest return to South Beach. Cleveland had to make a fourth-quarter dash just to force overtime against the lowly Pelicans in what rates as a highly disappointing defeat. Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS loss.Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Pistons are trying to ride an upswing after back-to-back wins while the Bucks are searching for answers after a 70-point outing on Wednesday left them with seven losses in the last nine games. Detroit trailed by 16 points in the fourth quarter on Wednesday before rallying to force overtime in a 127-122 win over Phoenix. Reggie Jackson put together back-to-back 30-point performances in the last two games. The Pistons will have revenge on their mind and will come with a full effort here at home on a Friday night.

The Thunder suffered a 106-100 loss at Atlanta in the opener of the trip to snap a four-game winning streak. The Heat are one of the better defensive teams in the league but dropped two of the last three games while allowing an average of 104.5 points in the setbacks. Miami allowed the Boston Celtics 57 first-half points in a 105-95 loss on Monday. Oklahoma City is still working to mold to Donovan’s system and hopes to benefit from having two consecutive days off on the road. Oklahoma City took both meetings last season while holding Miami to an average of 80.5 points. Back the Thunder on the money-line with a short price. |

Houston reached the conference finals last season but sputtered so badly at the start of this season that coach Kevin McHale was fired, while New Orleans possesses the third-worst record in the NBA. Houston started second-year power forward Clint Capela in each of the last three games and the 21-year-old is enjoying a productive stretch in which he has posted three double-doubles in his last five games.several key injuries diminished the team's depth and New Orleans has been unable to compete at the level it intended all season.

Memphis recovered from a shaky 3-6 start to get back on track while New Orleans has struggled to a shoddy 4-13 record under first-year coach Alvin Gentry. The Pelicans have a superstar in power forward Anthony Davis, and the presence of a player averaging 23.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 2.4 blocked shots hasn't lifted the team out of its doldrums.

Davis suffered a bruised right knee during a controversial play in Friday's 111-90 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Hayward got off to a sluggish start but has found his stride and is averaging 22.8 points over the past four games. He had three stellar efforts against New Orleans last season — averages of 26.7 points, six rebounds and 5.3 assists — and could be in line for another one after ending his early-season struggles.

The Cavaliers, one of three NBA teams with no losses at home, begin a two-game homestand Saturday against the woeful Brooklyn Nets. Coach David Blatt essentially used a seven-man rotation against the Hornets and will be challenged with trying to keep his players fresh in the second half of a back-to-back. James shot 4-of-13 and scored a season-low 12 points in the back end of team's first back-to-back and committed a season-high seven turnovers in its second set.

George’s remarkable return from a broken leg and his ability to switch between forward spots depending on the personnel on the court is giving Indiana a different dynamic on offense and opening up the floor for 3-point shots. George went 7-of-8 from beyond the arc en route to a season-high 40 points while C.J. Miles knocked down 8-of-9 from 3-point range in Tuesday’s record-setting performance.

Raptors The injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans will most likely not have star forward Anthony Davis back in the lineup when they continue a three-game road trip at Toronto on Friday. Davis (hip strain) became the latest in a long list of Pelicans to sit in street clothes when he watched New Orleans' 106-98 loss at Atlanta on Wednesday. Jrue Holiday sat out the second half of a back-to-back as he recovers from a leg injury, Norris Cole sat due to an ankle ailment and the team remained without Tyreke Evans, Quincy Pondexter and Kendrick Perkins. Friday's game marks Toronto's last at home until the day before Thanksgiving, as it embarks on a five-game road trip beginning Sunday in Sacramento so look for a full effort from the Raptors in front of the home crowd. |

11-13-15 | Jazz -112 v. Magic | Top | 93-102 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Utah The Orlando Magic found a way to win despite an injury-depleted lineup last time out and look to build off that effort when they host the improving Utah Jazz on Friday night.The Magic must continue to display their depth after second-leading scorer Victor Oladipo (16.2) suffered a concussion Wednesday and is expected to miss Friday’s game. Meanwhile, Orlando center Jason Smith (left knee) and guard C.J. Watson (left calf) are questionable after sitting out the game against the Lakers. Utah hopes to rebound after dropping back-to-back games for the first time this season, including a 92-91 defeat at Miami on Thursday. The Jazz are one of the best road bets in the league at 5-1 ATS away from home. The Jazz have won eight of the last nine meetings and four straight at Orlando, including a 101-94 triumph last season. |

11-11-15 | Spurs v. Blazers +7.5 | Top | 113-101 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Portland + 7.5 LaMarcus Aldridge should be in for a bit of a mixed reception when he returns to Portland for the first time since leaving the franchise in free agency over the summer. Aldridge is still working his way into a rhythm with his new teammates and will be looking for a third straight win when the San Antonio Spurs visit the Trail Blazers on Wednesday. I’m looking for a full effort here by Portland behind Lillard who is averaging 30.4 points in the last five games. The Trail Blazers took three of the four meetings last season, Portland keeps this inside the number. |

11-11-15 | Bucks v. Nuggets -3 | Top | 102-103 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Nuggets – 3 The Milwaukee Bucks will likely be without second-year forward Jabari Parker when they visit the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Parker is working his way back from last season's torn ACL and said he expects to be rested on the second night of a back-to-back.Milwaukee PG Michael Carter-Williams (ankle) will likely miss his fifth straight game. Rookie point guard Emmanuel Mudiay has been thrown into the fire and is averaging 12.7 points and 5.6 assists through seven games. The seventh overall pick from The Congo has scored in double digits five times and had a 10-assist outing against the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 3 when he outplayed second overall pick D'Angelo Russell. The Bucks have lost in each of their last five visits to Denver and 10 of their past 12. Nuggets at home is the play. |

11-11-15 | Clippers -7 v. Mavs | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Clippers – 7 All four defeats have been by double digits, including a dreadful 120-105 loss to previously winless New Orleans on Tuesday. Dallas dug itself an 18-point halftime deficit and was 5-of-20 from 3-point range in an effort that greatly disappointed veteran forward Dirk Nowitzki. Power forward Blake Griffin has fueled the club's fast start by exceeding 20 points in every contest and is averaging 28.6 points and 10 rebounds. Jordan is averaging 10.1 points and 13.3 rebounds and had six points and 15 boards when the Clippers rolled to a 104-88 home victory over the Mavericks on Oct. 29. The Clippers have won eight of the past 11 meetings. Lay it with L.A. on the road. |

11-10-15 | Thunder -5.5 v. Wizards | Top | 125-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 36 m | Show |
Thunder – 5.5 The Washington Wizards are having a hard time finding any consistency game-to-game, and lapses at the defensive end of late are hurting the club. The Wizards will try to avoid a third straight loss when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. Washington was riding high after Bradley Beal’s last-second 3-pointer gave it a 102-99 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, but back-to-back losses to the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks over the weekend brought the team back to earth. Oklahoma City got more out of its bench and turned defense into offense with steals and fast-break points on Sunday, making steady improvements in areas Donovan had targeted.Oklahoma City took both meetings last season, including a 105-103 overtime win in Washington on Jan. 21.i’ll take OKC on the road in this spot. |
