10-23-22 | Blazers +3.5 v. Lakers | 106-104 | Win | 100 | 5 h 32 m | Show | |
Take Portland. Crash the Boards. Game 501. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. Most of the early money this morning is coming in on the Lakers because the general public feels that after starting the season off going 0-2, that they are due for a victory. Well waiting for LeBron James and Los Angeles to get their first win, is worse than waiting for a check in the mail from Publishers Clearing House. Portland travels to LA with sporting their first 2-0 start since the 2018 campaign. Let’s throw away the fact that the Blazers are 14-6 ATS the last 20 meetings with the Lakers in Los Angeles. Let’s look at the present day. The Blazers are relatively healthy, while once again the Lakers are already listing most of their stars as questionable or probable here today. No one expect too much from LA. And I really don’t think their fans are expecting a victory here today. Despite all their superstar personnel, the Lakers are accounting for just 103.0 points per game. And now must face a much-improved Portland squad that is brimming with confidence, following wins and covers on the road at Sacramento and at home a few nights ago against Phoenix. Damian Lillard will light up the scoreboard here today in this match up. Take Portland. Thank you. |

10-21-22 | Grizzlies -6.5 v. Rockets | 129-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis Grizzlies. Las Vegas Strip Move Play. Game 547. 5:10 PM PST/8:10 PM EST. Memphis begins their campaign off with a big win at Madison Square Garden two days ago, taking New York down 115-112 in overtime. Houston put up a valiant effort in Atlanta in their season opener, falling short 117-107 in Atlanta. Important to tell you that the Grizzlies did fail to cover, while the Rockets eked by with a cover by a half-point. The Memphis one of the strongest teams in the West. And once again, Houston is one of the worst. No one expects too much from them. However, the Grizzlies have high hopes this season. After a lackluster overtime win against the Knicks, the they must put their foot on the gas in this matchup to give the team a little momentum and confidence and their fans something to be excited about. Going back to last season the Rockets have now dropped eight in a row straight up. They are pretty good against the spread. But Memphis has had their way with them, taking five of the last six straight up and four of those six against the spread. Houston is just 0-5 ATS the last five games played vs. teams with the winning percentage above .600. They are also a dismal 25-55 AYTS the last 80 games played at home. Ja Morant and company are just too much for their counterpart to handle here. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you. |

10-20-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Lakers | 103-97 | Win | 100 | 13 h 13 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers. Above The Rim Play. Game 531. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. After the beating the Lakers received at the hands of the Warriors in their season-opener a few days ago, I would normally look to jump on a team like that to bounce back in their second game of the campaign. However, the Lakers are a whole different story. And now that they have to face the Los Angeles Clippers, their crosstown rival in their season opening contest, I think things are going to go from bad to worse for LeBron James and company. The Clippers are at full strength with no significant injuries to the roster. This is very exciting because it is the first game Kawhi Leonard will be taking the floor in about 15 months. Not only that, but it is the first game he and Paul George are both on the floor for in quite a while. And when you have a guy like John Wall coming off the bench, I think it’s safe to say that your team is loaded. The Clippers have taken seven consecutive meetings straight up with the Lakers, including all three a season ago. They are 10-1 against the spread the last 11 meetings at the Lakers and 35-17 against the spread the last 52 overall meetings with the Lakers. I look for Leonard to come out here and play very well as the team flexes their muscles against their crosstown rival. Take the Clippers. Thank you. |

10-18-22 | Lakers v. Warriors -6 | 109-123 | Win | 100 | 29 h 7 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Slam Dunk Play. Game 504. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. Funny thing folks, the Golden State Warriors are touted to take the Western Conference. However preseason predictions have the Phoenix Suns actually taking the Pacific Division. That can’t sit well with the Warriors. No matter how you look at it, Los Angeles just does not have the horses to run with Golden State. I know that last season they played each other three times and the Warriors took two of the three meetings straight up. And the Lakers took two of the three against the spread. Yes, they play each other very tough. But this is a new season and Golden State would love to come out here and make a statement not just to their hated rivals, but to the entire Western Conference. This is a team loaded with playmakers. Let’s not forget they also finished last year covering six of their final seven at home and four of their final five overall. There’s no way they come out and start the season off without making a statement. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

10-18-22 | 76ers +2.5 v. Celtics | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 43 m | Show | |
Philadelphia 76ers. Vegas Insider Move. Game 501. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. The Celtics are touted to take Atlantic Division this season. This is a very talented team. However, they did lose a couple of big names that would definitely make them more competitive in this match up with the Sixers here tonight. I just don’t think with their current personnel that they have anyone that can contest Joel Embiid in the paint. And when they start to double-team him, Philadelphia is loaded with playmakers that can score both inside and out. If you recall, over the las few seasons, the 76ers covered seven of the last eight meetings with the Celtics. And that was with Boston’s bigger, stronger personnel. I just don’t see them stopping the big man in the middle. Take Philadelphia. Thank you. |

06-16-22 | Warriors +4 v. Celtics | 103-90 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Game 527. 6:00 pm pst. Taking Game 4 and 5, the Golden State Warriors seem to come up with a recipe for success in this series. They certainly don’t want to force a Game 7. I know that a lot of people out there are looking at the Boston Celtics to get a big win here to force that final game. However, something compelling struck me looking at the statistics from the last few games. Despite the fact that Golden State shot extremely poorly from beyond the arc and was significantly out rebounded in both matchups, and they still won both. This tells me that is their playoff experience will come through here again tonight. There’s no way that Steph Curry, who by the way broke his streak of 132 consecutive playoff games with a 3-pointer made will not come out and light it up from downtown. Yes, Boston has the muscle. And they certainly have several outstanding players. But their lack of playoff experience will certainly hurt them here not to mention that momentum is against them. The Warriors are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games as an underdog and 8-3 against the spread the last 11 games overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

06-13-22 | Celtics +4 v. Warriors | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics. High Roller play. Game 525. 6:00 PM PST. The winner of each game of this series has won and covered all four contests. Now going into Game 5, these two teams are clearly evenly matched. I strongly feel this matchup will be the closest and toughest fought of the series. Not wanting to fall three games to two, Boston will come out here and utilize their strengths. They are 8-1 against the spread the last nine games played on two days rest, 13-3 against the spread the last 16 games played following a straight up loss, and 18-7-2 against the spread the last 27 games played as an underdog. The Celtics will come in here and out play the Warriors physically, both on defense and in the paint. Take Boston. Thank you. |

06-10-22 | Warriors +4 v. Celtics | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Game 523. 6:00 PM PST. Whether you are a fan of the Western Conference or the Eastern conference, you must admit that this is a very evenly matched series. Two explosive offenses and two frustrating defenses. However, looking at this Game 4 matchup, I just don’t see Golden State giving this series up without a fight. They know very well that if they drop tonight’s game, it is going to be near impossible to then win three straight. I look for their third ranked defense to frustrate Boston’s top scorers, Tatum and Brown. I also look for Steph Curry to do what he does and take this game on his shoulders and soar. The Warriors are 4-0 against the spread the last four games following a straight up loss, 4-1 against the spread the last five games on one days rest, 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games as an underdog, and 6-2 against the spread the last eight games overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

06-08-22 | Warriors +3.5 v. Celtics | 100-116 | Loss | -110 | 35 h 30 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Las Vegas Strip Move Game of the Year. Game 521. 6:00 pm pst/ 9:00 pm est. +3.5 Consensus. Wednesday June 8, 2022. Following an embarrassing Game 1 loss at home, Golden State took Game 2 of the Finals with authority. Not only did they light up a very good Boston defense for 107 points, but their defense held the Celtics to their lowest output this postseason, just 88 points. I understand that many out there subscribe to the zigzag theory come the NBA postseason. First of all, I don’t subscribe wholeheartedly to any theories or angles when it comes to sports betting. Once I look at a game from every angle, if there is a specific theory that confirms my initial feel, then I will put some stock into it. But by no means do I put stock in any one theory as an absolute. Having said that, the Warriors evened the series and now take it on the road to the TD Garden. Granted, Boston has not lost back-to-back games this entire postseason. But they haven’t faced Golden State either. While they certainly belong here, many out there are underestimating the well-balanced, well-coached Warriors squad. This is a team that possesses one of the most frustrating defenses in all of basketball. Not only that, but offensively they can score both inside and out. And unlike several of the Celtics other opponents during this playoffs season, they don’t just have a big man to shut down. The Warriors have a slew of talent. Of course, Steph Curry is the key cog in the wheel. However, Draymond Green stepped up big time in Game 2. And you can bet you’re going to see a lot more of what he did there here in Game 3. To go back to the Warriors defense, they held Brown to just 17 points on Sunday. Tatum did get his points, but the pair were surely out of sync. Other than that, Boston’s leading scorer was White with just 12 points. Every other Celtic had six-points or less. Golden State forced a lot of turnovers and that’s what they do folks. They slowed down and disrupted Boston’s flow in transition. And that’s where the Celtics have had much of their success. You can look for more of the same here. Now that the series is even, trust me when I tell you the Warriors want this win so bad to take a lead in the Finals, they can taste it. I get the number here. But making them an underdog is a gift by the oddsmakers. They are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games played in the underdog role and 6-2 against spread the last eight games played overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. NBA Finals Game of the Year. Game 520. 5:00 pm pst. My friends, make no mistake of it, Boston dominated Game 1. They came in with a game plan, executed it, and took a very crucial road victory. Well, Golden State desperately needs to win Game 2. Not only to even up to series, but to establish their presence in this matchup. This isn’t the “due-for” factor or the “zig zag” theory. This is logic. The Warriors have not lost back-to-back games this postseason. As a matter fact they have not dropped two games in a row in over two months. In the series opener, Golden State only shot 44% overall from the floor, 42% from beyond the arc, and only went to the free-throw line 15 times, making 11 out of 15 free throws. They also allowed Boston to put up 120 points. That has only happened twice this entire postseason. And they faced some very good offenses. You can expect both teams to be basically at full force in this match up. Anyone that can suit up and play, will suit up and play. Having said that, look for the Warriors to make their shots on offense, play a little more physically, go to the line and make their free throws, and do what they do defensively. And that is to frustrate opponents’ offenses. There is no way Steve Kerr, Steph Curry and company will drop a second game at home and go down two games to zero in the series. They are also 5-1 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up loss, 4-1 against the spread the last five games played at the Chase Center, and 5-2 against the spread the last seven games played overall. Take the Warriors. Thank you.

Golden State Warriors. NBA Finals Game 1 Winner. Game 518. 6:00 pm pst. There is no question both of these teams belong here. But there are certainly more than a few advantages on the side of the Warriors. First of all, they’re playing at home where they sport a 39-10 SU record this season. They have also covered four straight at the Chase Center. Next, they had a few extra days to rest, heal, and prepare for the Championship series. And lastly, which I feel is the most important, this is a whole different monster of an opponent than the Celtics have faced in the playoffs. In the first several rounds, Boston had to deal with very good opponents. But each of the opponents have one main player they had to contain. That is not the case here. Golden State is chock-full of talent. And they can beat you both inside and out. Not only that, but an enormous amount of the Celtics success comes in transition. They are excellent in transition. However, they will not have that same opportunity here in this match up with the Warriors. Golden State owns one of the nastiest, most frustrating, and well-disciplined defenses in the NBA. They can swarm you man-to-man, they can play zone, they are excellent on the boards, they can steal the ball, they can create turnovers, and they can force a lot of mistakes. There is one more major factor here in the first game of the NBA finals that significantly benefits the Warriors. Their players have a lot more postseason experience. They don’t rattle very easily in big game situations. Obviously, the Celtics have played well. They got to the Finals. But they certainly have some cracks and the Warriors can and will exploit those cracks. Boston is 2-5-1 against the spread the last eight games following a straight up win. Golden State is 5-1 against the spread the last six games overall. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Slam Dunk Game of the Year. Game 563. 6 pm pst. Taking Game 1 and 2 of this series at home, the odds makers are looking to beat you here. But we aren’t going to fall for the trap as the Warriors have won and covered three straight in the postseason. Their frustrating defense along with their very deep, talented, and experienced bench and crafty team, is just too strong in the series for Dallas to handle. Giving them points here is a huge mistake. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

Golden State Warriors. Game 648. 6:00 pm pst. The Dallas Mavericks are a very good team. However, they lose a little something when they travel. And let’s be honest, the Golden State Warriors defense is absolutely outstanding. Andrew Wiggins handcuffed Luka Doncic in Game 1 as good or better than we’ve seen anybody defend the forward this season, holding him just 20 points and seven rebounds in the series opener. The Mavericks have trouble when they travel. Not just straight up, but against the spread as well as they are 1-4 ATS their last five games played on the road. On the other hand, the Warriors have really turned it up the ladder half of the season and in the playoffs. They have won all seven postseason games played at home in 2022, going 5-2 against the spread. Overall, this team is 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played at the Chase Center. Dallas will make some adjustments at the start of this game but so will Golden State. The Warriors are just going to be kryptonite for the Mavericks in this series. Particularly here at home where they know they need to take another victory before Game 3 on the road. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 543. 5:30 pm pst. Both teams were missing some key players in the Game 1 match up. However quite a few things went wrong for Boston. This is a team that owns the NBA’s number one scoring defense, and yet they allowed the most points this postseason in Tuesday’s match up. While Al Horford is listed as doubtful here, Marcus Smart, they’re defensive key, is listed as probable. That will be big for Boston here. The Celtics cannot afford to go down two games in this series. Look for NBA Defensive Player of the Year, Smart (check status) to return here and make an impact right away, thus allowing the Celtics to succeed in transition and allow superstars Tatum and Brown to shine. Boston is 4-0 against the spread the last four games played following a straight up loss, 7-1-1 against the spread the last nine games played as underdog, and 19-7-1 against the spread the last 27 games played on the road. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. Western Conference Finals Game of the Year. Game 539. 6 PM PST/9 PM EST. I’m not looking to take away anything from the Golden State Warriors series win over the Memphis Grizzlies. But their opponent was without superstar Ja Morant for a few contests. The Dallas Mavericks got better as the series with the Phoenix Suns progressed. Their offense was on-fire while their defense really stepped up to hold the Suns powerful “O” intact the last several games. The Warriors are an excellent team and certainly deserve to be here. However, the Mavericks own a frustrating defense overall and particularly from beyond the arc where Golden State excels. Looking at the health of both teams, Dallas is quite a bit healthier as they’re only listed injured player is Hardaway Jr. On the other hand, the Warriors have several guys, significant cogs in the wheel, that will be missing here or at the very least, banged-up. This was evident recently where they struggled to cover the spread. They are just 3-5 their last eight games against the spread these playoffs. They haven’t exactly been blowing away opponents. On the other hand, The Mavericks covered four of their last five coming into the Western Conference Finals. And this season have had their way in this Conference rivalry winning and covering three or four meetings with Golden State. Going back a bit, they are 6-1 against the spread the last seven meetings in Golden State and 7-3 the last 10 overall meetings with Golden State. The Warriors are 0-5 against the spread the last five games played following a straight up wind. This is way too many points to give the very scrappy, Dallas team. Take the Mavericks. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 535. 5:30 PM PST/8:30 PM EST. Well, it is without question that both of these teams deserve to be here. However, looking at the postseason you can’t argue the fact that the Celtics have beaten better opposition. Very quietly, Boston owns the number one ranked defense in all of the NBA. The Celtics are chock full of two-way players. While both teams have a few question marks and maybe a player out, I do believe the Heat is going to severely miss Kyle Lowry in tonight‘s matchup. Boston took two of three meetings this season with Miami, both straight up and against the spread and are an overall 13-6 against the spread the last 19 meetings in Miami. They also happen to be one of the best teams in the NBA when traveling, going 19-6-1 against the spread the last 26 games played on the road. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 515. 4:30 pm pst. A team with their back to the wall is a very dangerous team. Facing elimination tonight, the Boston Celtics and their league-leading defense will keep their postseason hopes alive with a big outright win here. If Boston goes with a bigger lineup, they can match Milwaukee down low. If they go to smaller lineup, they will do what they’ve done to every other opponent this season, and that is to frustrate them. They have a smart head coach who will rotate his players when needed. Please remember that the Celtics are 5-0-1 against the the spread the last six meetings at the Bucks and an overall 9-2-1 against the spread the last 12 overall meetings versus the Bucks. Moreover, this is a team that is excellent on the road going 18-7-1 against the spread last 26 games played away from home, 8-2 against the spread the last 10 games played following a straight up loss, and 15-5-2 against the spread the last 22 games played as an underdog.

05-11-22 | Warriors -4 v. Grizzlies | 95-134 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors. Game 509. 6:30 PM PST. Just about everyone in the world thought Golden State would have it an easy time of it in the Game 4 meeting with Memphis minus Ja Morant. Despite the Grizzlies going 20-5 straight up minus their star guard during the regular season, in all sincerity most of those games were against sub .500 teams. And yet we’re back to the fact that the Warriors should’ve had a picnic on Monday. Believe it or not even experience veterans like Steph Curry and company could enter a match up overconfident. That’s exactly what happened in the 101-98 win and no cover in the last contest. With that in mind and the opportunity to close the series out, you can be sure Golden State will do just that. They won’t take Memphis lightly tonight and they will close out to series. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. Game 581. 4:30 PM PST. Boston shot just 37% from the floor and a dismal 27% from beyond the arc in Game 3. Giannis Antetokounmpo contributed 42 points and 12 rebounds lighting up the scoreboard. All this and yet the Celtics still only lost by two points. With Middleton out and Hill a bit rusty, look for the Celtics to bounce back here and even up the series. Boston is 8-1-1 against the spread the last 10 meetings with Milwaukee and 4-0-1 against the spread the last five meetings in the Fiserv Forum. They are also 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played following a straight up loss, 5-0-1 against the spread the last six games played as a road underdog, 6-2 against the spread the last eight games played on one days rest, and 16-5-1 against the spread the last 22 overall road games.

Miami Heat. Best Bet play. Game 579. 5:00 PM PST. Joel Embiid made his debut in the series in Game 3 to give the 76ers their first win. Game 3 was a dominating victory for Philadelphia, 99–79. Miami will make adjustments here in Game 4 and rotate their deep bench to tire out the Philadelphia center. You can rest assure that Miami will bounce back from their poor shooting performance in the last game. Kyle Lowry was getting his legs back in Friday’s game and will have a much better performance here tonight. Look for the Heat defense to frustrate the Philadelphia offense and also dominate on the boards. They are 11- 4-1 against the spread the last 16 games played on the road, 17-7 against the spread the last 24 games played as an underdog, and 11-4 against the spread the last 15 games played overall.

For a team that was a last-second missed shot away from being up two games to none in this series to be a seven-point underdog here only because they took it on the road, astounds me. Guard, Gary Peyton II is out here today. Well, he was Golden States best defender against Ja Morant. Morant was 3-for-8 shooting against Peyton and 23-for-50 against the rest of the Warriors. Memphis possesses the number two overall scoring team in the NBA. They can score on any opponent. While Golden State has an enormous amount of talent, defensively they are having a tough time trying to contain Morant. Head coach, Taylor Jenkins came up with an excellent defensive gameplan to cut the Warriors knees off from downtown in Game 2. Look for a little more of that and for Ja Morant too light up the scoreboard once again. This game will be a lot closer than the point spread. Memphis is 4-0 against the spread the last four meetings with Golden State, 16-6-1 against the spread the last 23 games played as an underdog, and 8-3-1 against the spread the last 12 games played following a straight up win. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you. |

Miami Heat. Las Vegas Strip Move. Game 549. 4:00 PM PST. Miami has taken Games 1 and 2 of this series with authority. It’s not just the absence of Joel Embiid that has led to Philadelphia’s hole. This is a team that has lost four the last five playoff games both straight up and against the spread. Right now, they have no answer for the Miami Heat defense. Without Embiid in the paint, the 76ers are forced to shoot from beyond the arc. During the regular season they shot 36.4% from three-point range. However, they shot just 18% in Game 1 and 27% in Game 2. I understand that Philly is going home now for Game 3 and they are a good home team. But Miami is a darn good road team as well. They are 11-3-1 against the spread the last 15 road games, 6-2 against the spread the last eight games played on one days rest, 9-3 against the spread the last 12 games played as a favorite, and 11-3 against the spread the last 14 games played overall.

Dallas Mavericks. Slam Dunk play. Game 543. 7:00 PM PST. The combination of the Mavericks starting slowly and the fact that the NBA’s second-ranked defense was definitely not playing par for their course resulted in a Game 1 loss. I know the Suns have had their way in this rivalry. But with everything going wrong for Dallas in the series opener, they still rallied from a 21-point deficit late on the game. I feel they’ll take a lot from the first match up and their momentum from the second half will carry over into this game here tonight. Something else to keep in mind is the fact that the supporting cast for the Mavericks really didn’t do too much in Monday’s contest. I expect the supporting cast (starters as well as the bench) to step up here in Game 2. I’m siding with Dallas to fight back here. Take the Mavericks plus the points. Thank you. |

But the Mavericks have covered two of the three and let’s be honest, they haven’t met in over three months. Dallas enters today’s Game 1 matchup covering five straight games and 13 of the last 17. Both teams top players have missed some time this postseason but both are back and look to be playing at 100%. Both teams can score points. There’s no questioning that. However, Dallas is much better defensively and can counter the Phoenix offensive strengths of their three-point shooting and their rebounding with one of the best defensive perimeter squads and rebounding squads in the NBA. I believe the combination of the addition of Dinwiddie now wearing a Mavericks uniform and the fact that Dallas has a deeper and stronger bench will be the difference in this matchup. The Mavericks are 5-0 against the spread the last five games played on the road, 4-1 against the spread the last five games played as an underdog, and 25-10-1 against spread the last 36 games played overall. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. Slam Dunk play. Game 565. 7:00 PM PST/10:00 PM EST. Very simply, Dallas is just playing better basketball than Utah. They started the series very competitively without their superstar, Luka Doncic. Yes, in his first game back they dropped the game, but they still played very competitively as the forward was getting his sea legs. Well, Game 5 had a much different outcome. The Mavericks blew away the Jazz 102-77 to give them four consecutive covers in this series. Without question Utah has a lot more pressure on them here. They play in front of their home crowd who is used to them not succeeding in the postseason. That will weigh on their shoulders during this matchup. And less pressure, momentum, and having Doncic on the floor and healthy, there is no question in my mind that the Mavericks win this game. Throw into the mix that Donovan Mitchell is a little banged-up and that spells DOOM for Utah. The Mavericks are 4-0 against the spread the last four meetings at the Jazz, 4-0 against the spread the last four games played on the road, and 20-8 against the spread the last 28 games played versus teams with a winning record. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

New Orleans Pelicans. Las Vegas Strip Move play. Game 564. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. The Pelicans are no strangers to facing illumination. As a matter of fact, they play some of their best basketball when their back is to the wall. They won elimination games against the Spurs and the Clippers in the play-in tournament and once again are facing elimination here today. They lost Game 5 partly the fact that their star, CJ McCollum had a very poor shooting night. The guard will make sure that won’t happen again. Something else that caught my eye in the last game was the fact that Chris Paul really looked exhausted late in the second half. He’s not a kid anymore and I expect him to experience some tire legs once again here in Game 6. Overall, Phoenix is not the strongest team when playing on one days rest as they are 2-7 against the spread the last nine in the situation, 1-5 against the spread the last six games played as a road favorite, and 1-5 against the spread the last six games played following a straight up win. Take New Orleans. Thank you. |

Miami Heat. Game 540. 4 PM PST/7 PM EST. Just to recap a little bit of the series, Games 1 and 2 played at the FTX Arena were won by Miami by a combined 34-points. Atlanta took Game 3 at home in Philips Arena. That loss truly upset the Heat. As a matter of fact, it downright pissed them off. They came back out in Game 4 and dominated from start to finish winning 110-86. They now return back home and can and will finish this series off in front of their faithful fans. These two teams met eight times this season as the Heat won and covered six of the eight meetings. It just so happens to be that they won and covered all four at home. It’s no secret that when Atlanta hits the road, they lose a little something. They are just 8-20 against the spread the last 28 games played away from home. Their biggest star, point guard Trae Young, who averaged 28.4 points per game during the regular season, is only averaging 16.5 points per game in the postseason. The frustrating Miami defense has gotten to him as well as the rest of the squad. They are swarming Atlanta and also dominating on the defensive boards taking away any of the Hawks second chance shots. The Heat are 5-0 against the spread the last five games played at home, 5-1 against the spread the last six games played on one days rest, and 9-2 against the spread the last 11 games played overall. Take Miami. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. SD play. Game 536. 6:30 pm pst. With The series tied 2-2, Dallas doesn’t just want this victory here tonight, they need it. It seems as though the Mavericks, which have covered Games 2, 3, and 4, have the recipe for frustrating Utah. As everyone knows, star forward, Luka Doncic returned in Game 4. Don’t overthink the fact that when he finally got back on the floor that the team lost. He really didn’t get into a rhythm until just before the half. That would concern me more than anything if I were the Jazz. Dallas has covered four of the last five matchups in this rivalry at home and eight of the last nine overall. This is an issue for Utah, as they are not a strong road team. They are also not very good in the role of an underdog or when playing on just one days rest. They sport a 6-19-1 against the spread mark the last 26 games played on the road, an 0-4 against the spread mark the last four games played as an underdog, an 1-9 against the spread mark the last 10 games played on one days rest. Take the Mavericks. Thank you. |

Boston Celtics. LVSM play. Game 531. 4:00 pm pst. Up 3-0 in this series, the Boston defense is just too much for Brooklyn to handle. The Celtics know that if they close the series out today, they will have a few extra days to rest and prepare for the next round of the playoffs. Once again, there is news surrounding the fact that Ben Simmons should make his debut here. Either way he won’t be as much is a factor as people think as he hasn’t been on the court in a very long time. There is no questioning the fact that Kevin Durant is one of the best to ever play in the NBA. However, he’s not a kid anymore and it is evident that the Boston defense has wreaked havoc on his game. Since the beginning of February, these two teams have met six times with Boston winning all six and covering five of the six. The Celtics are also 13-3 against the spread the last 16 games on the road, 4-0 against the spread the last four games as an underdog, and 8-1 against spread the last nine games following a straight up win.

Golden State Warriors. Las Vegas Strip Move Game of the Month. Game 523. 12:30 PM PST/3:30 PM EST. Up 3-0, Golden State can get some extra rest by putting Denver here away as their next matchup will be between the Memphis/Minnesota winner. That series is tied 2-2. The Warriors haven’t just won every game in this series, they’ve won each one with ease. And for us sportsbettors, they have covered all three as well, winning by an average margin of 13.6 points per game. The Nuggets aren’t just losing this series, they have a dropped the last four overall straight up. And they have also dropped seven of the last nine against the spread. Denver is just simply way in over their heads here as they have failed to cover the last five meetings with Golden State, 18 of the last 24 games played at home, and the last five played as a home underdog.

Boston Celtics. Las Vegas Strip Move play. Game 515. 4:30 PM PST/7:30 PM EST. The Boston Celtics defense, which ranks No. 1 in the league, has truly frustrated the Brooklyn Nets. Brooklyn has a star-studded roster. And they all seem to be having issues facing this swarming “D “. Rumors are that Ben Simmons will make his long-awaited debut this evening. Well, if he plays, I feel it will take away from any rhythm this team had. And if he doesn’t, well we go back to my first point that they’re having problem with the Celtic defense. Brown and Tatum have turned it up this series when needed. And Horford has been an absolute monster in the paint. Nothing is going change your being that the venue is now different. Boston is 4-1 against the spread the last five meetings with Brooklyn, 4-0 against spread the last four games played on the road, and 6-0 against the spread the last six games played on two days rest.

Dallas Mavericks. SLAM DUNK PLAY. Game 513. 1:30 PM PST/4:30 PM EST. Many out there were concerned that the Utah Jazz would fold like a cheap suit like they traditionally do come the postseason. Well dropping Games 2 and 3 of this series, it seems like history is repeating itself. Once again, the big news is the status of Luka Doncic. Latest rumors is that he is probable to play this evening. That’s as of posting this analysis. The star forward hasn’t played since April 10 and the team has done just well in the series without him. Dallas possesses the leagues No. 2 ranked scoring defense. And it has been this defense that has certainly frustrated Utah. Now being booed at home in Salt Lake City, is putting added pressure on the Jazz. The Mavericks have won 11 of the last 14 straight up covering 10 of those outings. They are also excellent in the role of an underdog covering 10 of those last 14. Moreover, they have no problem playing with very little rest covering five of the last seven and one days rest. Utah is 1-3-1 against the spread the last five games played as a home favorite, 6-19-3 against the spread the last 28 played following an ATS loss, and 1-8 against the spread the last nine games played on one days rest. Take the Mavericks. Thank you. |

Golden State. NBA 1st RD GAME OF THE YEAR. Game 573. 7:00 pm pst.10:00 pm est. It’s no coincidence that when Golden State started getting healthy, they started winning games. Not only have they won seven in a row straight up, they are also 7-1 against the spread the last eight. Of course, this includes Games 1 and 2 of this series thumping Denver by 16 and 20-points. The starting five of Curry, Poole, Thompson, Wiggins, and Green are enough to give any opponent nightmares. Throw into the mix the fact that their bench has been stepping up as well, and this is one outstanding basketball team. Denver doesn’t have neither the starters nor do they have the depth to compete in this matchup. Please understand this, with superstars like Curry and Middleton now healthy, the Warriors can post 120-points on any team in the NBA. However, you may not realize that for most of the season several of their big-name players were sideline with injuries and yet they still ranked third in the league on “D” and top-five in every major defensive category. Now they are at full strength and if you can believe it are getting better with each game. The Warriors are 4-0 against the spread the last four meetings with the Nuggets and 31-12 against the spread the last 43 Conference Quarterfinals games. The Nuggets are 1-5 against the spread the last six games played at home and 0-4 against the spread the last four games played as a home underdog. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. Game 571. 6:00 pm pst/9:00 pm est. There are some reports stating that Luka Doncic may make his return here in Game 3. Whether the star forward is on the floor or not, this is just way too many points for Utah to lay. Yes, a lot of the Dallas success this season has come because of their superstar forward. However, they’ve played pretty competitively in Games 1 and 2 of this series without him. I understand that those games are played at home and now the Mavericks and must take it on the road. But guys, they have been money to anyone who wagers on them in this rivalry covering six of the last seven meetings with the Jazz. And when playing as an underdog, they are 9-4 against the spread the last 13 in that role. They can stay with Utah offensively there’s no question about that. But it has been their stellar defensive play throughout the entire season that has made this team outstanding. Just look at what they’ve done to Utah holding them way below their season average. Utah is 3-7-1 against the spread the last 11 games played as a favorite and 3-9-1 against the spread the last 13 games played overall. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

Not only did the Nets lose Game 1 to the Celtics on a buzzer beating layup, but star guard, Kyrie Irving got fined $50,000 for giving the TD Garden fans a specific hand gesture. I look for Brooklyn to come in here extra motivated bouncing back and taking Game 2. The Nets, which are 4-1 against the spread the last five games played as an underdog and 10-3-1 against the spread the last 14 road games, are pissed off and I looking for some redemption here. While they did cover the opening game, they need a win here to even up this series and go back home tied. They are also 14-6 against the spread the last 20 meetings with the Celtics. Take Brooklyn plus the points. Thank you. |

Phoenix Suns. Slam Dunk play. Game 554. 7:00 PM PST. I know many sports bettors out there, prior to Game 1 of this series looked at how hot New Orleans was playing along with fact that Phoenix was a little shaky towards the end of the regular season and played the Pelicans. Well, they didn’t take into the consideration that the Suns were locked into their number one seed for a while. They had a chance to rest their starters and coast into the postseason. When a team wins battle of the boards 55-35 and you still lose by 11-points, it tells you something. Both offensively and defensively Phoenix outclasses New Orleans. Look for the Suns to put the Pelicans away very quickly here and go up 2-0 in this series. New Orleans is 1-5 against the spread the last six meetings with Phoenix, 1-6 against the spread the last seven the last seven games played versus teams with a winning record, and 0-4 against the spread the last four games played as an underdog.

For much of the season they were without some of their top stars and yet they are still one of the best rebounding teams on both ends of the court, rank third in the NBA in points allowed, and are top-five in every single major category on defense. Now they are at full force and are looking as good as they ever were. This is a team that rattled off six consecutive straight up wins, covering six of the last seven overall games. They are just too much for the Denver Nuggets to handle. They have covered the last three meetings in this rivalry winning the last two by a combined 27 points. Denver is 3-10 against the spread the last 13 meetings with Golden State. Golden State is 4-0 against this spread the last four games played at home. Take the Warriors. Thank you. |

However, a lot of things went right for Philadelphia. Tyrese Maxey put up 38 points. Thaddeus Young left the game at halftime. And the 76ers committed just three turnovers while hitting 50% from beyond the arc. Well, the Raptors had a few days to deal with any missing players here and prepare for that. And I doubt the Sixers can replicate their season opening numbers. Having said that, Toronto can and will keep pace offensively and defensively here but I do feel they will have an edge on the offensive boards here. The Raptors are 7-3 against the spread the last 10 games played on the road, 4-1 against the spread the last five games played following a straight up loss, and 4-1 against the spread last five games played as an underdog. Take Toronto. Thank you. |

Milwaukee Bucks. Oddsmakers Mistake play. Game 530. 3:30 PM PST. The Chicago Bulls haven’t won a post season game since 2017. And to be quite honest guys, they’re not going to win one here today either. They have limped into the playoffs dropping 15 of the last 22 straight up and 16 of those against the spread. On the other hand, the Milwaukee Bucks are running red hot, winning 15 of the last 21 straight up and 13 of those against the spread. If you’re worried about this number, don’t be as the Bucks have covered 10 of the last 13 laying double-digits. These two Eastern Conference rivals have played four times the season with Milwaukee winning all four SU, covering the last three ATS. They have taken the four meetings by an average score of 14.75 points per game. With Lonzo Ball sidelined the Bulls just don’t have the depth to compensate here. This is a team that is 7-21 against the spread the last 28 games played as an underdog 3-10 against the spread the last 13 games played on the road, and 1-4 against the spread the last five games played overall.

Raptors. LVSM. Game 521. 3:00 pm pst. Sports fans, Toronto has been locked into this seeding for quite a while now. So, the Raptors enter the postseason very well rested. Not only that but they start the playoffs red-hot, winning 14 of the last 18 game straight up and covering 12 of those 18 outings. To add to their advantages, this team is one of the few participating in the postseason that are at full strength, with no injuries. They can certainly match Philadelphia in scoring and are significantly better on the boards. And in my opinion, that is where this game will be won. The 76ers have several players that are still out and a few more that are a little banged up. Therefore, rotating fresh legs is not in the cards for them. And for us who wager on games, they have failed to cover seven of the last nine overall entering this matchup. Speaking of matchups, Toronto has taken three or four straight up in the series this season while covering all for meetings with Philadelphia. They are also 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played on the road, 4-1 against the spread the last five games played as an underdog, and 5-1 against the spread the last six Conference Quarterfinal games. Take the Raptors. Thank you. |

Pelicans. SD. Game 511. 7:05 pm pst. Sports fans, we all know that New Orleans had a big win and cover against San Antonio the other day while Los Angeles imploded, dropping a big lead in Minnesota and even getting a lot of us the no cover. I know prior to that defeat, the Clippers were running pretty hot. And while they are a much better team with Paul George on the floor, I do believe that there’s a catch 22 with him. Since he’s been back, he has put up some outstanding numbers but the rest of the team aren’t contributing as much. Knowing this, the Pelicans with their nasty defense and third ranked rebounding unit will key on him for sure here. On the other side of the court while New Orleans has the ball, look for them to get a ton of second chance shots as they rank 11th in the league on the offensive boards and Los Angeles ranks 28th on the defensive boards. The Pelicans have covered six of the last seven meetings in this series, winning five of those straight up. They are also 13-5 ATS the last 18 games played on the road. The Clippers are just 7-19 ATS the last 26 games played on too days rest. Take New Orleans. Thank you. |

San Antonio. LAS VEGAS STRIP MOVE play. Game 507. 6:30 pm pst. Sports fans the odds makers have the line way off in this matchup. San Antonio has taken three of the four meetings with New Orleans this season, both straight up and against the spread. Going back a ways, they have covered seven of the last eight matchups in this series. Yes, I know the Spurs have dropped three in a row straight up, but they have been on-fire to anyone who wagers on them, covering seven straight and 10 of the last 11. Not only that, but during that ATS hot-streak, they’ve beaten some pretty darn good teams, including a 107-103 win and cover in New Orleans less than three weeks ago. I know in the latter leg of this season the Pelicans have turned it up a little bit. We all know they have been without their superstar, Zion Williamson the entire campaign. And they just picked up CJ McCollum, who has bolstered the squad. However, I think this is the matchup they will severely miss Williamson on the floor. I wouldn’t read into this game any further than the fact that the Spurs played well against teams that aren’t very threatening as most of their troubles came against teams that were above. 500. The Pelicans are certainly not a team that can threaten them. San Antonio is 7-0 against the spread the last seven meetings at the Smoothie King Center, 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played on the road, and 11-4 against the spread the last 15 games played on two days rest.

Funny thing how they started to win when their team started to get healthy. They now have both Paul George and Norman Powell suited up and ready to go. Funny thing, Minnesota only won one of the four meetings this season. That being the most recent when neither George nor Powell we’re on the floor. The three other meetings, the Clippers won and covered all three by an average score of 18.6 points per game. By the way George led all scorers in all three. Los Angeles is 4-1 against the spread the last five meetings in this series overall and 15-6-1 against the spread the last 22 meetings in Minnesota.

Not only that, but they can exact a little revenge on the Detroit Pistons as well. After winning nine consecutive meetings with the Pistons, back on January 3 the Bucks got embarrassed at home 115-106. I know Detroit, prior to Wednesday’s 18-point loss at home to Dallas, covered five consecutive games, but this is a whole different monster. And that monsters name is Giannis Antetokounmpo. The superstar will lead the number three ranked offense in the league and decimate the Pistons both inside and out. Many out there don’t realize it, but not only does this team score points, they also rank fourth from beyond the arc and second on the offensive boards. All places that the Pistons defense rank among the poorest in the league. This game gets ugly and the Bucks get their revenge. They are 6-1-1 against the spread the last eight meetings in Detroit, 13- 3-1 against the spread the last 17 overall meetings, 10-4 against the spread the last 14 played on the road, and 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played following an against the spread loss.

The second seed in the conference remains up for grabs and the loser here could mathematically slide all the way down to the number four-spot. Boston and their number one ranked defense will once again frustrate Milwaukee. This is a team that has covered six straight meetings in this rivalry going back to December 2020. That includes all three matchups this season as they have won two straight up, while the most-recent, played on Christmas Day was separated by just four-points. No debating that Giannis Antetokounmpo is a monster player that will always get his numbers. However, Jayson Tatum can match him in statistics very easily. The combination of the Celtics defense and the fact that their offense is exploding for over 123 points per game just over the last 10 outings, prompts me to take the points here with the underdog. Boston is 4-1 against the spread the last five games played in Milwaukee, 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played on the road, and 8-3 against the spread the last 11 games played overall.

A win here would be crucial for the Celtics to take the Atlantic Division. Moreover, to better their situation come in the postseason. Granted, the Bulls have covered four straight in this rivalry going back to April of last year. However, these are two very different teams right now. Boston owns the top defense in the NBA, ranking number one in points allowed, number one and field goal percentage, number two in three-point percentage, and 11th on the defensive boards. The last month and a half Chicago have really struggled going just 6-13 straight up and 5-14 against the spread. They played last night and got crushed, 127-106 at home against Milwaukee. This was the second of back-to-back home losses for the team. Meanwhile a fresher, Boston team comes in here off a huge demolishing of Washington on Sunday, 144-102.

With just four games remaining in the regular season, the Bucks sit in the third seed in the Eastern Conference, just a half-game behind the Celtics, and 2.5 games behind the Heat. The defending NBA champions are looking to better their seeding and grab the top-spot in the Conference. Playing the slumping Bulls is just what the doctor prescribes to do just that. Milwaukee has dominated Chicago, winning nine of the last 10 meetings straight up including all three this season, covering the two most recent, both last month. This team needs to go into the postseason with momentum. They have dropped each of the last two outings both straight up and against the spread to a Clippers team that pulled all their starters and a Mavericks squad just two days ago. The Bucks will bounce back here to boost their confidence come the playoffs. The Bulls are a mess, dropping 12 of the last 18 straight up and 13 of those 18 against the number. FYI, most of those games were with Vukovic, LaVine, and DeRozan all available. Since the All-Star break, Milwaukee has ranked second in the NBA in rebounding. That is where this game will be won, on the boards. Chicago just cannot contend on the glass in this matchup. They are outclassed and outmanned on both ends of the court. Look for the Bucks to also exploit the Bulls 26th ranked three-point defense with their fifth-ranked three-point shooting offense. With the Boston Celtics up next followed by the Detroit Pistons and the Cleveland Cavaliers to finish out their regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks will get back on their winning ways and make a statement to the rest of the Eastern Conference here. Milwaukee is 10-1 against the spread the last 11 games played in Chicago, 5-1 against the spread the last six games played following an ATS loss, 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played as a road favorite, 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played on one days rest, and 10-4 against the spread the last 14 games played overall. Take the Bucks. Thank you. |

Charlotte. SD Play. Game 521. 9:40 am pst. Normally I would look to play a team of Philadelphia’s caliber following losses to decent teams like Phoenix and Milwaukee and then losing to a bad team like Detroit. However, Charlotte is running red-hot. The Hornets currently have officially qualified for the play-in tournament for the second consecutive season. But they are far from happy with this. And they can certainly better their situation. With five games remaining in their regular season, they can creep up several seeds without a doubt. Losing three straight has dropped the 76ers into the number four spot in the Eastern Conference. We’re seeing problems between Coach Doc Rivers and his superstar James Harden over recent weeks. The Philly offense is just dismal, ranking 21st in scoring, 18th in field goal percentage, and 29th on the boards. They just can’t keep pace with the fifth ranked Charlotte ”O”. Throw in the mix the fact that Gordon Hayward is expected to make his return tonight after missing over 22 games and this offense will get even better. By the way, the Hornets have won eight of the last 10 straight up, covering seven of those 10 outings. They are also 7-1-1 against the spread the last nine games played on two days rest, 6-1-1 against the spread the last eight games played as a road underdog, and 15-5-1 against read the last 21 overall road games. The 76ers are 1-5 against the spread the last six games played on one days rest, 2-6-1 against the spread the last nine games played as a favorite, and 3-7 against the spread the last 10 games played at home. Take Charlotte. Thank you. |

Atlanta. EC GOM. Game 586. 4:40 pm pst. Both teams here are hoping for playoffs appearances. Currently the Cavaliers are seventh in the East. Atlanta, at the moment is in tenth and they are trying to catch an eighth-place Brooklyn team and a ninth-place Charlotte team. Both played last night as a Cavaliers took a 120-112 loss at home against the Mavericks while the Hawks visited Oklahoma City and beat the Thunder, 136-118 to give the team their third consecutive win and cover. They had a short plane ride home for today’s matchup. The Cavaliers have been bitten badly by the injury bug. Allen has been out for a while joining Rondo, Wade, and Sexton. However just added to the injured list is center, Evan Mobley. Now with him out this team seems like they just can’t score at all. They have failed to cover six in a row and nine of the last 11 outings. As a matter fact, they lost and failed to cover the two most-recent meetings with Atlanta, coming at the end of December and mid-February. And that was when they were at full strength. The last few weeks the Hawks have taken it to another level winning eight of the last 11 straight up. This is a team that is back at to where they used to be, dominating opponents on their home court, where the Hawks are 13-6 against the spread the last 19 games played at the State Farm Arena. Cleveland’s numbers are just horrible as they are 0-7 against the spread the last seven games played on zero days rest, 5-11 against the spread the last 16 games played following a straight up loss, and 2-6 against the spread the last eight games played on the road. Look for superstar, Trae Young to once again light up the Cavaliers as he has accounted for 35 and 41 points in the last two meetings. Take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Toronto. SD Play. Game 568. 4:40 pm pst. Both teams look like they’re in decent positions for a play-in spot at least, come the postseason. However, Toronto knows that both Brooklyn and Charlotte are right behind them and they need a couple of wins right now to close out the regular season. Minnesota’s high-powered offense is not compensating for their atrocious defense anymore, dropping three of the last four both straight up and against the spread. The Raptors had no problem taking the only meeting with the T-Wolves this season, a road win and cover approximately six weeks ago. Now they play at home in which during their current homestand they have won all three contests going 2-1 against the number. Minnesota is 1-5 against the spread the last six meetings in the series, 1-7 against the spread the last eight games played as a road underdog, and 2-7 against the spread the last nine games played versus teams with a winning home record. Take Toronto. Thank you. |

03-30-22 | Heat v. Celtics -4 | 106-98 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Boston OM Play. Game 570. 4:40 pm pst. Miami’s issues stretch way beyond their problems on the floor. Obviously with coaches and players arguing on the sidelines this team is in a lot more trouble than we originally thought. They finally got a win and a cover two nights ago following a 2-5 straight up run while going 0-7 against the spread. Meanwhile Boston has been playing some outstanding basketball behind the number one ranked defense in the entire NBA. It’s hard to believe that their game will improve this evening as both Tatum and Brown sat out Monday’s overtime loss in Toronto. Both star players are expected to return tonight (check status). The Celtics are on a killer run as they were on a six game straight up hot streak prior to that loss just two days ago. And they have been getting bettors paid going 6-1 against the spread the last seven. This is a big game with serious postseason implications. The Celtics, which are in better shape at the moment, want this victory to have that mental edge over the Heat come the playoffs. Miami is 0-4 against the spread the last four games played versus teams with a straight up winning record. Boston is 5-0 against the spread the last five games played following straight up loss. Take the Celtics. Thank you. |

Dallas. LVSM Game 561. 4:10 pm pst. Sports fans, there are a few factors contributing to why I like the Dallas Mavericks today. For starters, Cleveland is without a few key players including Jarrett Allen. And last night Evan Mobley got a little bit banged-up and hurt his ankle a bit. Now it looks like (check status) he will be out this evening. On top of that, Luka Doncic played just under 30 minutes last night and he still scored 34 points and snagged 12 rebounds. He will be well rested here today as the Mavericks are looking for their fifth win over the last six games. The Cavaliers are now on a 0-5 no cover streak. There is one more item. The last meeting between these two teams back at the end of November Cleveland handed Dallas one of the worst home losses this season shellacking them 114-96. Revenge is a factor guys. The Mavericks are 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played at the Cavaliers, 4-0 against the spread the last four games played as a favorite, and 9-3 against the spread the last 12 games played versus teams with a winning record. Thanks Dallas. Thank you. |

New York. CTB play. Game 540. 4:30 pm pst. To say the Knicks are the Hawks kryptonite would be an understatement. New York has had their way with Atlanta winning and covering the last three meetings in the series, all of which were this season. There is no debating that Trae Young has been excellent this season. However, his supporting cast has been just horrible. John Collins is out. And Bogdan Bogdanovic is dealing with a quad injury and is listed as questionable. The Hawks have failed to cover the last five games played on the road and overall, enter this matchup in a 1-8 against the spread run. New York has won two of their last three, all of which have been played at home in the Garden. And are on a 7-2 ATS hot streak. The Hawks are 0-7 against the spread the last seven games played as a favorite, 1-6 against the spread the last seven games played as a road favorite, and 1-5 against the spread the last six games played on one days rest. The Knicks are 4-0 against spread the last four games played following a straight up loss, 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played as an underdog, and 5-2 against the spread the last seven games played on one days rest. Take New York. Thank you. |

Raptors. EC GOM. Game 529. 5:10 pm pst. If you’re concerned that Toronto played last night in Philadelphia, don’t be. This is a team that’s 10-4 against the spread the last 14 games played on zero days rest. Personally, I believe the wrong team is favored here. Yes, I know Chicago has won covered five of the last six meetings in this rivalry. But the Raptors are one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning and covering six of their last seven outings. The Bulls continue to disappoint, losing and failing to cover three straight. As a matter fact, they are on a 2-8 straight up run, only covering one of those last 10 games. The fact that Fred VanVleet rested last night tells me he will play here tonight (check status) and the team seriously wants this victory. Toronto will look to send a message to the rest of the Eastern Conference to the teams that are currently ahead of them in the seeding. They are 6-0 against the spread the last six games played on the road, 5-0 against the spread the last five road games played versus teams with a winning home record, and 4-0 against the spread the last four games played versus teams with a winning percentage above .600. Chicago is 0-7 against the spread the last seven games played following a straight up loss, 8-19 against the spread the last 27 home games played versus teams with a winning road record, and 2-5 against the spread the last seven games played on two days rest. Take the Raptors. Thank you. |

Hornets. SLAM DUNK. Game 526. 4:10 pm pst. Yes folks, I’m well aware of the fact that the visitor has covered the last six meetings in the series. And I also know that New Orleans has covered three of their last four. However, Charlotte is running red-hot, winning and covering four in a row. They also didn’t play last night like the Pelicans did on the road in Atlanta. With their current surge of injuries, including top-scorer and solid rebounder, Brandon Ingram, I just don’t feel New Orleans is going to be able to compete in this one and will come in here with tired legs following last night’s contest. The Pelicans are 2-6 against the spread their last eight games played on zero days rest, 1-4 against the spread their last five games played as an underdog, and 2-5 against the spread their last seven games played overall. Take the Hornets. Thank you. |

Minnesota Timberwolves. SD PLAY. Game 509. 5:40 pm pst/8:40 pm est. Minnesota enters today’s matchup one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning seven of their last eight and 10 of the last 13 both straight up against the spread. They currently sit in the seventh spot in the West. As you may or may not know jumping to the sixth spot will do a lot for them come the postseason. Tonight’s matchup against the Spurs and their next matchup against the Lakers are definitely winnable. They need as many victories as they can get as their following seven contests are against the Bucks, the Mavericks twice, the Suns, the Celtics, the Raptors, and the Nuggets. The Spurs currently have six players listed as questionable for this game and let’s face it, they are a mess. They lost six of their last eight straight up and five of their last seven against the spread. In their only other meeting this season back in November, Minnesota decimated San Antonio, 115-90 at home. That gave them their sixth consecutive cover in the series. They are also 13-3 against the spread their last 16 games played versus teams were a winning percentage below .400, 4-1 against the spread their last five games played on the road, and 7-2-1 against the spread their last 10 games played on one days rest. The Spurs are 4-12 against the spread their last 16 games played versus teams with a winning straight up record, 5-12 against the spread their last 17 games played as an underdog, and 1-7 against the spread their last eight games played as a home underdog. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

Los Angeles Clippers. OM PLAY. Game 501. 4:10 pm pst/7:10 pm est. The line in this game is way off as it should be closer to a pick ‘em. Since mid-February, Los Angeles has been playing some very good basketball going 9-4 straight up and 10-3 against the spread. They played last night in Detroit to earn a win and cover. If you’re worried about them playing back-to-back games, don’t be as they are 5-1 against the spread their last six games played on zero days rest. Revenge definitely plays a factor in this matchup as they lost and failed to cover the only meeting with Cleveland the season back at the end of October. However, these are two very different teams at this point. In the first meeting, Allen, Sexton, and Markkanen were major factors. For this contest two of them are out and one is questionable. The Cavaliers have dropped eight of their last 11 both straight up and against the spread. This includes their last two outings, both played on the road losing by 12 to the Heat and by 10 to the Bulls. The Clippers have had an enormous amount of success in this rivalry winning seven of the last eight both straight up and against the spread. And going back a little further, covering eight of the last 10. This does include a 4-1 against the spread mark the last five meetings played in Cleveland. Los Angeles is 6-2 against the spread their last eight games played on the road, 5-1 against the spread their last six games played as an underdog, and 6-2 against the spread their last eight games played following a straight up win. Take the Clippers. Thank you. |

Mavericks. SLAM DUNK PLAY. Game 512. 5:40 pm pst/8:40 pm est. These two teams met just a few days ago in San Francisco as Dallas made a huge comeback finishing the contest on a 33-8 run. They took the road victory 107-101 over Golden State. At one point in the game, they were down 21-points in the third quarter. It is tough for any team to come back from that mentally. Particularly a Warriors squad that is really struggling right now. This is a team that’s dropped six of their last eight straight up and have only covered one outing since February 1. That’s right they have failed to cover 10 of their last 11 games. Meanwhile the Mavericks are one of the hottest teams in the league winning eight of their last 10 straight up and nine of the last 10 against the spread. And the No. 2 ranked Dallas defense will once again win this battle against Steph Curry and the rest of the struggling Golden State once-feared offense. The Warriors are just 3-10 against the spread the last 13 meetings in this series, 0-6 against the spread the last six games played on one day rest, and 1-7-1 against the spread the last nine games played as a favorite. By the way, the Mavericks are 4-1 against the spread the last five games played at home, 6-1-1 against the spread the last eight games played on one day rest, and 5-0 against the spread the last five games played as an underdog. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

Hawks. OM PLAY. Game 502. 4:10 pm pst/7:10 pm est. This is a quick turnaround from Thursday’s four-point loss in Chicago. In that matchup Atlanta superstar, Trae Young had a rare poor performance. He will go out of his way and lead the Hawks to a big victory here. Chicago has had trouble both winning and covering over the last few games going 0-2 both straight up and against the spread. And the Bulls have also had issues since to break on the boards. Well, this doesn’t bode well as they face one of the best defensive rebounding corps in the NBA. Look for a bit of revenge here as well as Atlanta lost all three meetings this season in this series. But these teams are in very different places currently. The Hawks are 10-2 against the spread the last 12 games played at home, 9-2 against the spread then last 11 games played on one day rest, and 5-0 against the spread the last five home games versus teams with a winning road record. Take the Hawks. Thank you. |

Toronto Raptors. NBA BEST BET. Game 505. 4:10 pm pst. The Hornets are probably wishing the All-Star break could’ve lasted a little longer as they went into it dropping nine of the last 10 straight up and only covering two of their last 11. Since Gordon Haywood went down this team is just 3-10 straight up and their offense is only putting up solid performances against weaker adversaries. The Raptors have won and covered both meetings in this series this season by 12 and 15 points and tip-off the second half of the campaign fresh and predominantly healthy. They went into the break on a 9-2 run both straight up and against the spread. Look for the swarming Toronto defense to frustrate the slumping Charlotte offense. The Raptors are 6-1 against the spread the last seven games played on the road, 7-2 against the spread the last nine games played as a favorite, and 24-8 against the spread the last 32 games played overall. The Hornets are 1-9-1 against the spread the last 11 games played at home 0-4-1 against the spread the last five games played as underdog and 1-5-2 against the spread the last eight games played overall. Take Toronto. Thank you. |

Blazers. WG MOVE. Game 580. 7:00 pm pst/10:00 pm est. With all respect to the Golden State Warriors, they went into the All-Star break dropping four of their last five straight up and seven straight against the spread. They have a big schedule over the upcoming weeks and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got caught maybe with a bit over-rested coming in here against the Portland Trailblazers team that has won and covered their last four games before All-Star break. Yes, I know the Blazers are a different team than we were accustomed to seeing them with a new lineup. However, their lineup has meshed quite well and had some time to further get in sync. This is way too many points for the Warriors to lay on the road where they are just 3-7-1 against the spread the last 11. Take Portland. Thank you. |

The Chicago Bulls going into the All-Star break we’re playing some outstanding basketball finishing the first half of the campaign with five consecutive wins and covering five of their last six outings. They won and covered both meetings with the Atlanta Hawks this season both at home and on the road. The Hawks aren’t same team they used to be and when they hit the road things tend to get ugly as they are 2-6 against spread their last eight games played as a visitor and 1-4 against the spread the last five games played as a road underdog. It’s hard to argue with the fact that the Chicago Bulls are 8-2 against spread the last 10 games played at home and 20-7 against the spread the last 27 games played as a home favorite.

Ja Morant and the NBA’s 4th ranked scoring offense are just too much for New York’s struggling shooters. The team ranks 27th in both scoring (104.1 PPG) and FG% (43.7%). Not only does the Grizzlies possess the offensive prowess to make the outcome quite ugly here, they also outclass the Knicks at both ends of the courts on the boards.

This doesn’t bode well for the Jazz which face Ja Morant and the 6th ranked scoring offense of the Grizzlies. Memphis is red-hot, winning 14 of their last 17 outings and covering 13 of those 17. The Jazz are 0-6-1 ATS the last seven games played on one day rest, 2-7-1 ATS the last 10 games played as an underdog, and 5-15-2 ATS the last 22 games played overall.

Minnesota. WG PLAY. Game 519. 5:10 pm pst. Since getting back Towns, Edwards, Russell, and Vanderbilt. Minnesota has won four in a row SU. The Timberwolves have been good to bettors as well, covering four of their last five contests. Their offense is humming, averaging 124.0 PPG during the win streak. New Orleans is struggling once again, dropping four of their last five SU and three of the five ATS. They have played some good opponents but are still getting plowed for over 119.7 PPG in those four defeats. With just about all their playmakers back on the court, Minny is just too much for New Orleans to handle. The Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at the Pelicans, 5-0-1 ATS the last six games played on the road, and 8-1 ATS the last nine games played vs. teams with a losing record. Take Minnesota. Thank you. |

01-07-22 | Bucks +5 v. Nets | 121-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks. SLAM DUNK PLAY. Game 563. 4:40 pm pst. The Nets finally got their “Big 3” back on the court together on Wednesday and had to rally from 19-points down to beat the Pacers in Indiana, 129-121. Now at home, Kyrie Irving is sitting due to personal reasons. The Greek Freak, who is listed as questionable (check status), but reports are claiming he will play tonight. Milwaukee, which sits just 1.0 GB of Brooklyn with the East’s 3rd best record, has had their way in this rivalry, winning and covering three in a row and four of the last five meetings. They want this win to gain a full game in the conference standings. This is way too many points to give the Bucks. Especially because the Nets are 1-10 ATS the lats 11 games played at home, 1-4 ATS the last five games played on one days rest, and 0-4 ATS the last four games played overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you. |

01-06-22 | Warriors -3 v. Pelicans | 96-101 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Warriors. WG play. Game 555. 5:10 pm pst. As of post, Steph Curry is listed as questionable. However, this reflects in the current number. Whether the MVP-candidate plays or not, the team must bounce back here from last night’s embarrassing 17-point loss to Dallas. New Orleans is on a three-game slide both SU and ATS, losing by an average of 12.3 PPG. No question, the Warriors are much deeper everywhere than the Pels. Golden State is 12-2 ATS the last 14 games played following a SU loss. Take the warriors, Thank you. |

01-04-22 | Grizzlies +3 v. Cavs | 110-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
When ALL of my oddsmaking, sportsbook, and sportsbetting contacts come in with the same team as my analysts and I, it becomes an NBA WISEGUY PLAY which are 6-1 this season. Be on this winner and be on the same side as the sharpest minds in the business. Memphis. WG play. Game 523. 4:10 pm pst. Darius Garland is expected back for the Cavs. However, their one strength, their defense has started to crack, yielding 108.8 PPG over their last six outings in which they are 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS. The Grizzlies are on a five-game SU hot streak, going 4-1 ATS, averaging 116.2 PPG. With Ja Morant leading the way (30 or more points scored in four straight), I just don’t see Cleveland keeping pace here. Memphis is 9-1 ATS the last 10 game splayed on the road and 7-1 ATS the last eight games played as a road underdog. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you. |

12-27-21 | Bulls -5 v. Hawks | 130-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Chicago. WG play. Game 549. 4:40 pm pst. The Hawks have failed to cover eight straight at home. Now they face a red-hot Bulls team (7-2 SU and ATS last nine) consisting of the “Big 3” DeRozan, LaVine, and Vucevic. Atlanta has nine players on the bench due to Covid protocol, including their top-two contributors, Young and Collins. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS the last 10 games played as a road favorite. Take Chicago. Thank you. |

12-27-21 | Rockets v. Hornets -6.5 | 99-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Charlotte. SD play. Game 548. 4:10 pm pst. Revenge game for a Hornets team that lost 146-143 in OT about a month ago. Big names have returned for Charlotte while a few Rockets are still on the shelf. Houston lost five of their last six both SU and ATS coming into this matchup. No way they can keep pace with the NBA’s 2nd ranked scoring offense. The Rockets are 1-4 ATS the last five games played on the road and 0-5 ATS the last five games played as an underdog. The Hornets are 8-0 ATS the last eight games played at home and 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played overall. Take Charlotte. Thank you. |

Houston. BB. Game 539. 5:10 pm pst. Houston gave Chicago all they can handle in last months 118-113 outright win and cover. The Bulls were at full strength that contest and are now dealing with COVID protocols and having only played once in the last eight days. The Rockets are 8-2 ATS the lats 10 games played as an underdog, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road, and 10-3 ATS the last 13 games played overall. Take Houston. Thank you. |

12-17-21 | Hornets +2 v. Blazers | 116-125 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
Charlotte. WG Play. Game 569. 7:10 pm pst. Portland is in trouble, losing seven in a row and 10 of their last 11 SU. With McCollum sidelined things will go from bad to worse here as NBA Rookie of the Year, LaMelo Ball and a Charlotte team that is 6-1 ATS their lasts seven games, comes to town. The Hornets handed the Blazers a 125-113 defeat on October 31, when both Lillard and McCollum were in the lineup. The league’s top-ranked 3-point shooting squad and the No.2 ranked scoring offense faces its 30th ranked 3-point and 26th ranked scoring defenses. The Hornets are 6-1 ATS the last seven games played as an underdog and 4-0 ATS the last four games played on one days rest. The Blazers are 0-4 ATS the last four games played as a favorite and 0-6 ATS the last six games played at home. Take Charlotte. Thank you. |

Memphis. BB Play. Game 571. 7:10 pm pst. Memphis is red-hot winning nine of their last 10 SU and eight of their last 10 ATS. They have also taken the last four meetings in this series SU including a 128-101 win and cover in this season’s only matchup. Look for the explosive 7th ranked scoring offense in the NBA to brutalize its 29th ranked scoring defense. To add insult to injury, the Grizzlies are the No.1 offensive rebounding squad in the NBA. So, they will get a ton of second-chance points here. Memphis is 5-0 ATS the last five games played on the road, 7-2 ATS the last nine games played on one days rest, and 6-2 ATS the last eight games played following a SU win. Take the Grizzlies. Thank you. |

Los Angeles. WG Play. Game 533. 4:40 pm pst. With Luka Doncic sidelined tonight, it’s very doubtful Dallas can slow down LeBron James and company, which have won seven of their last 11 games. The Lakers are well-rested and looking to get every win they can right now. The Mavericks offense has been erratic at best and without their top-scorer, top-rebounder, and floor-leader, they won’t be able to compete here. They are 1-5 ATS the last six games played at home and 1-4 ATS the last five games played following an ATS win. Take the Lakers. Thank you. |

Golden State. WG play. Game 519. 4:40 pm pst. New York is struggling dropping seven of their last nine SU. Now Golden State comes to MSG sporting the NBA’s best record while Steph Curry is just one three-pointer away from tying the all-time record set by Ray Allen and two away from owning the record. The Warriors are 8-2 ATS the lats 10 games played at the Knicks, 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played following an ATS loss, and 23-9-1 ATS the last 33 games played overall. Take Golden State. Thank you. |

Houston. WG play. Game 507. 4:40 pm pst. Sports fans, Houston is not a winning team at 8-18. However, the Rockets are on an 8-1 ATS run. Atlanta, for a while, were money at home. Lately, they are not. The Hawks have failed to cover five straight at the State Farm Arena. While both teams have a slew of injuries to deal with, this is still way too many points here. Take Houston. Thank you. |

Golden State. BB Play. Game 503. 4:10 pm pst. Steph Curry turned in two poor performances in a row and the team comes off a big loss to Philly on Saturday.

Utah. WG play. Game 553. 4:10 pm pst. Utah is playing great basketball at both ends of the court rolling to six straight wins, covering four of those six, including the last two. Washington is a mess riding a 5-8 SU run only covering three of those 13 contests. The Wizards took the last two meetings last season so look for some revenge here as this season, these are two very different teams. The Jazz are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Wizards. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS the last five games played on two days rest. Take Utah. Thank you. |

Cavaliers. BB play. Game 541. 5:10 pm pst. Cleveland is treating us bettors well, covering nine in a row. Meanwhile Minnesota is on a four-game SU slide and is just 1-4 ATS the last five. The T-Wolves defense is getting steamrolled nightly. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played at the Timberwolves, 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road, 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played on one days rest, and 16-5 ATS the last 21 games played as an underdog.

Atlanta is 0-6 ATS the last six games played vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600 and 2-7 ATS the last nine games played vs. teams with a SU winning record. Take Brooklyn. Thank you. |

Milwaukee. BEST BET play. Game 511. 4:40 pm pst. Milwaukee is red-hot winning 10 of their last 11 SU. Miami is banged-up and because of this, the team is struggling, going 1-4 both SU and ATS their last five. Overall, they are on a 2-7 run both SU and ATS. Whether Jimmy Butler plays or not, he won’t be 100%. With Giannis back on the floor and at full strength, look for Milwaukee to make a statement here to an Eastern Conference opponent. The Bucks are 5-2 ATS the last seven games played in this series, 6-1 ATS the lats seven as a road favorite, and 5-1 ATS the last six games played on one days rest. Take Milwaukee. Thank you. |

Bulls. BEST BET. Game 550. 5:10 pm pst. Chicago certainly outclasses Denver offensively. And now with the Nuggets putting up some of the league’s poorest defensive stats the last few weeks, it’s even more of a reason to side with the home team here. These two teams met just 17 days ago in Denver with the Bulls prevailing, 114-108. Denver is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played as an underdog, 2-6 ATS the last eight games played on the road, and 4-9 ATS the last 13 games played on one days rest. Take Chicago. Thank you. |

OKC. SD Play. Game 515. 5:10 pm pst. OKC is one of the NBA’s best teams against the spread, donning a 13-6 ATS mark. The Thunder have covered six straight contests and are 7-3 ATS the last 10 meetings with the Rockets. What they lack offensively, Houston’s 27th ranked defense more than compensates for LOL. One thing for sure. OKC will dominate the glass and get a ton of second-chance shots with the league’s No.1 ranked offensive rebounding corps. The Thunder are 7-3 ATS the last 10 games played vs. the Rockets, 6-0 ATS the last six games played as a road ‘dog, 8-0 ATS the last eight vs. teams with a losing record, and 13-3 ATS the last 16 games played overall.

The Kings are 4-1 ATS the last five games played at the Grizzlies and 12-3 ATS the last 15 games played as a road ‘dog. Take Sacramento. Thank you. |
