12-30-17 | Spurs v. Pistons +4.5 | 79-93 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- The Pistons who were off to a great start have taken a step back of late as injuries especially at guard have slowed down their pace. Both of Detroit's guards Avery Bradley and Reggie Jackson have been sidelined and the Pistons have had to make adjustments. The Spurs are also dealing with injuries but have managed to win six of their last seven and are 5-1 ATS against the Pistons. Still. Tonight the Pistons rally at home. Take DETROIT! |

12-30-17 | Georgetown v. Marquette -10 | 65-74 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Georgetown at Marquette 4:40 ET Golden Eagles (-) over Hoyas- Well, the Patrick Ewing era is underway and Georgetown who is 10-2 (4-5 ATS) are off a double-overtime loss at home to Butler where they blew a 20-point lead. But, this is one of those Vegas 'don't make sense games. Here are the Hoyas wth a better record getting huge points from a Marquette clubs that is 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games. Georgetown played one of the softest non-conference schedules in the nation and now meet stiffer competition. Take MARQUETTE! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Villanova v. Butler +5.5 | Top | 93-101 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
Villanova at Butler 4:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- Undefeated and ranked No. 1 Villanova (13-0) has gone 9-0 on neutral or away courts going 8-1 ATS. As a matter of fact the Wildcats are 39-17-1 ATS in their last 57 road games but are up against a formidable opponent. Butler not only defeated the Wildcats twice last season handing them their first loss while ranked No.1 last season and then defeated them against when the Wildcats were ranked No. 2. Villanova of course had won the NCAA Championship the year before. Bulldogs who is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games at home can bite and will once again. Take BUTLER! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | St. Mary's v. BYU +1.5 | 74-64 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 47 m | Show | |
St. Mary's at Brigham Young 4:00 ET Cougars (+) over Gaels- A pair of 12-2 clubs face off in Provo where the more heralded Gaels of St. Mary's visit the Cougars of Brigham Young. St. Mary's is just 2-3 ATS in their five 'away' games while BYU is 7-1 straight-up at home but only 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 home games all as favorites. The Cougars winners of nine straight are a dog now and post a win here. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |
|||||||
12-30-17 | Wichita State v. Connecticut +11 | 72-62 | Win | 100 | 1 h 6 m | Show | |
Wichita State at Connecticut 12:00 ET Huskies (+) over Shockers- The idea that the Huskies are a double-digit underdog at home is foreign to me and must have former coach Calhoun hiding his head in shame. Wichita State ranked No. 10 has moved from the Missouri Valley Conference after 72 years over to the All-American Conference and this is their new conference opener. Granted it is a down year for the Huskies but a conference opening plus points at home is a play. Take CONNECTICUT! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Washington State v. UCLA -13 | 82-96 | Win | 100 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Washington State at UCLA 11:00 ET Bruins (-) over Cougars- This seems like an unusually 'high' price to lay between two conference rivals. UCLA is off a confidence building win over No. 6 Kentucky 83-75 last Saturday and are now 6-1 at home. This 'number' seem really 'big' when we realize Washington State is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games while the Bruins are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 Pac-12 games and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 gams overall. But, there is a silver lining for UCLA and that is they are 106-17 all-time in this series including 56-2 in Los Angeles. Add that the home team is 8-2 ATS in the past 10 meetings and I'll lay it. Take U.C.L.A.! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Kansas v. Texas +4.5 | Top | 92-86 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
Kansas at Texas 9:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Jayhawks- Both clubs are riding 3-game winning streaks as they enter their Big-12 opener. Kansas has won 13 straight Big-12 Conference titles and have no lost a conference opener in 26 years. Two of the three losses by Texas came against ranked Gonzaga and North Carolina while the two Jayhawks losses in consecutive games were to Washington and Arizona State. The Longhorns have won just one of the last 13 meetings but this is a 'different' Texas clubs coached by Shaka Smart. Take the LONGHORNS! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Nets +6.5 v. Heat | 111-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Miami 8:00 ET Nets (+) over Heat- There is a lot of 'stuff' surrounding this game that I will point out and I just hope it doesn't confuse 'us'. To start with Miami's center Hassan Whiteside in back in the starting lineup after missing 13-games. The Heat have gone 7-3 taking advantage of 10 games in the state of Florida and playing six team that are at least 10-games under .500. Although the Nets are just 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 meetings and 1-3-1 ATS in Miami Brooklyn has been a 'go' when on the road. Here we have Miami just 8-8 straight-up and 4-11-1 ATS at home while the Nets are 5-12 straight-up on the road but, 10-7 ATS. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Mavs +6.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 128-120 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
Dallas at New Orleans 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Pelicans- I always consider playing 'against' any team that is coming off record setting performances and that means playing against New Orleans. Career and franchise records were set on the Pelicans last outing as Rajon Rondo who has 25 assists in their 128-112 win over Brooklyn Tuesday night. It was 2-1/2 years ago when Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle acquired Rondo from Boston where he fell out of favor before being shipped to Sacramento who sent him to Chicago who dumped his with him ending up with the Pelicans. Dallas has won their last two and are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in New Orleans. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | Rockets v. Wizards +1.5 | 103-121 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Houston at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Rockets- What a bunch of losers...the Rockets have dropped their last four going 0-4 ATS and the Wizards are off a 113-99 loss at Atlanta. The issue with Houston is that they struggle without Chris Paul in the line-up winning 15 of 16 when he plays and just 10 of 17 when he doesn't. Washington's All-Star guard John Wall called out a number of teammates after their loss to the Hawks and I believe they will more focused tonight. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
12-29-17 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State +2.5 | 85-79 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
West Virginia at Oklahoma State 7:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Mountaineers- After dropping their opening game (blowing a 22-point lead) to Texas A&M, West Virginia has posted 11 straight wins while the Cowboys have won their last 11 and are 8-1 at home. The well coached Mountaineers have struggled in conference play going 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight in the Big-12 and 5-12-2 ATS in their last 19 games overall. After 11 straight wins the Mountaineers will struggle on the road where they are 1-4 ATS and facing a conference foe. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | 76ers v. Blazers -3.5 | Top | 110-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Portland 10:30 ET Trailblazers (-) over 76ers- I have said it the entire season, Joel Embiid is most impactful in player in the NBA when he is on the floor. Portland found out what he was about in their first meeting when the 76ers won and 'covered' their fifth straight meeting in Philadelphia. The Blazers who have lost six straight home games will have the return of Damian Lillard who averages 26.2 points and will return from a mild hamstring strain. Look for adjustments to be made against Embiid and for the Blazers to win one at home. Take PORTLAND! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Wolves +4 v. Bucks | 96-102 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Bucks- Both Minnesota and Milwaukee were expected to make significant strides this season and for the most part the Timberwolves are meeting those expectations while the Bucks just continue to be mediocre. The Wolves have won five straight while the Bucks have dropped their last two including a 115-104 beating by the Bulls playing with a slowed down Antetokounmpo. Even though the Bucks have had their way of late in this series (7-1 ATS in last 8) it's the Timberwolves time. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
12-28-17 | Pistons v. Magic +4.5 | 89-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Detroit at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Pistons- Orlando was 8-4 after their first 12 games and have gone 3-20 in their last 23 games including a pair of nine game losing streaks where they are right now. Injured players have part of the Magic downfall but did get the return of Jonathan Isaac Tuesday while the Piston lost a key clog with point guard Reggie Jackson who set a season high with 13 assists before his injury. His loss will be difficult to over-come. Take ORLANDO! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | San Diego State v. Wyoming +3 | 69-82 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
San Diego State at Wyoming 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) Aztecs- This Mountain West encounter won't have any national interest but that doesn't mean 'we' can't pull out a winner here. San Diego State has beat-up on some little guys and are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall while The Cowboys have lassoed seven of eight opponents at home as Laramie can be a nasty place in late December. The Aztecs have a new head coach as Steve Fisher is gone and his first trip to Wyoming will not be pleasant. Take the COWBOYS! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Raptors +4 v. Thunder | 107-124 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Toronto at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Thunder- About two weeks ago I stated the I believed that the Thunder have turned the corner and they have put together five straight wins and 7-of-8. Toronto was rolling along with six straight wins and 'covers' before getting whacked in Dallas last night. The Raptors may have been looking ahead to this encounter and weren't completely focused. Toronto has had the best of it in this series going 4-0 ATS in their last six meetings in OKC and have won 12 of the past 14 meetings straight-up. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Wizards -6 v. Hawks | 99-113 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Washington at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Hawks- Washington is coming off an emotional Christmas Day win at Boston 111-103 for their second straight win after their worst loss of the season 119-84 at Brooklyn last Friday. Atlanta who is just 5-11 straight-up at home have haven't destroyed their backers splitting 16 decisions ATS. The Hawks attempt to win back-to-back games for the first time this season as they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up win. I just think the Wizards after their impressive win over Boston will come out a little flat and the Hawks will take advantage (if the can). Tale ATLANTA! |
|||||||
12-27-17 | Celtics v. Hornets +1.5 | Top | 102-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 15 m | Show |
Boston at Charolette 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- The NBA season is long tough grind and it appears that it has taken its toll on the Boston Celtics before the New Year even started. Boston started the season with two straight losses then went a tear winning 20 of their next 22, but in the last 21 days they have gone 5-6 as the injuries have mounted. Playing Charolette may help the Celtics as they have defeated the Hornets five straight times and nine of their last 10 meetings with the three year anniversary of their last win over the Celtics coming this month. Momentum may be the key here and with Charlotte off a 18-point come from behind win over Milwaukee the Hornets have it and the Celtics don't. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-26-17 | Kings +5 v. Clippers | 95-122 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
Sacramento at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles who is 2nd in the Pacific Division at 13-19 lead the 11-21 Kings by two-games have been crippled with injuries and will once again have four players out as Blake Griffin, Danilo Gallinari, Wes Johnson and Patrick Beverley will all miss this contest. The Kings will be without exciting rookie De'Aaron Fox and ageless Vince Carter is a game time decision. The Clippers are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games overall while the Kings are 6-1-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
12-26-17 | Raptors v. Mavs +6 | 93-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Toronto at Dallas 7:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Raptors- Very quietly Toronto has established the best winning percentage in the East (23-8 74%) which is actually better then the conference leader Boston (27-10 73%). The Raptors have won six straight and 12 of its last 13 games and are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Dallas. With five losses in their last six games the Mavericks have just nine wins and are one win better then the league's worst team Atlanta, who has only eight wins, with the last one coming against Dallas. The Mavs have had trouble closing games losing 12 of 14 games decided by six points or less. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-26-17 | Pacers +2 v. Pistons | Top | 83-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show |
Indiana at Detroit 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Pistons- Two very evenly matched clubs face each other in Detroit where the Pistons have been an impressive 10-5 straight-up but are just 7-7-1 ATS. Indiana who is 8-7 on the road have proved to be profiteers away from home going 10-5 ATS. The Pacers have won seven of their last 10 while Detroit has won four of their last five and 2-of-3 meetings this season. Indiana is 7-2 ATS in their last nine meetings and the Pistons have dropped four straight ATS at home. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Wolves v. Lakers +5 | 121-104 | Loss | -107 | 26 h 17 m | Show | |
Minnesota at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Timberwolves- I have to admit I always become intrigued when the Lakers are on broadcast and have noticed a few things about this NBA club. No. 1, the are very, very young, No. 2 they are very very talented and No. 3 they play no defense. Okay, but wow, I watched to see Lonzo Ball fail and was elated with his rocky start but the more I see the better chance he has at being a winner. I have no idea what will happen with his 'shot' but he can get better. Kyle Kuzma was no secret of 'us' (Utah) and with the emergence of Brandon Ingram (Duke) there is plenty of spring in their step. LA is 1-5 straight-up last six but 4-1 ATS in their last five. Wolves are 1-4 ATS in last five visits to Los Angeles. Take LAKERS! |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Rockets v. Thunder +3 | Top | 107-112 | Win | 100 | 24 h 51 m | Show |
Houston at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- What a coincidence...the Rockets won 14 straight games with Chris Paul playing and have lost the last two with him sidelined. Let me think about this, I saw Houston meltdown in the final minutes with James Harden in charge and it was a complete cluster...Okay, I have no problem coming back with Oklahoma City (Megabucks Best Bet Winner) after Saturday's 103-89 romp at Utah. I said before the Jazz game that I think the Thunder of turned-the-corner. Four straight wins and the fifth comes here. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
12-25-17 | Cavs +5 v. Warriors | 92-99 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 1 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Golden State 3:00 ET Warriors (-) over Cavaliers- Oh look what we have here, a rematch of the NBA Finals and we all know how that turned out. The NBA must be so proud but there are short-comings to this game. Golden State's just had their 11-game win streak (last eight without MVP guard Stephen Curry) ended Saturday with a home loss to Denver 96-81 where their shooting just went cold. Cleveland has been on a streak of their own winning 19 of the last 21 with LeBron James playing the best 'ball' of his career. I look for Durant, Thompson and Green to pick up the slack and run the older Cavaliers. Take GOLDEN STATE! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Blazers +3 v. Lakers | 95-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Portland at L.A. Lakers 9:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- The Lakers have been on a point spread tear winning their last four ATS and six of their last seven but there is a factor to consider. In every game the Lakers were underdogs and as a matter of fact they have been underdogs 10 straight games and have posted three outright wins in their last seven. The Trailblazers have lost their last six at home but are a surprising 9-6 on the road but will be without Damian Lillard who will be replaced by Shabazz Napier who will team up well with CJ McCollum. Port;and has dominated this series...just listen to these numbers. Portland has won the last 10 meetings straight-up, they are 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings in LA and they are 42-17 ATS in the last 59 meetings overall. Take PORTLAND! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Thunder +1 v. Jazz | Top | 103-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Utah 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Jazz- After failing to meet the 'experts' expectations playing under .500 the Thunder have won their last three and five of their last six. These two met on Wednesday with Oklahoma City laying a home hurt of the Jazz 107-79. Utah responded with a bounce-back win over San Antonio on Thursday. The Thunder may have turned the corner and are feeling better about themselves and run to a win here. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Nets v. Pacers -9.5 | 119-123 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Nets- Indiana gave themselves a boost of confidence with a win at Atlanta Wednesday a day after they blew a five-point lead to the Celtics in the final seconds at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and have now lost three straight at home. The Pacers should also feel good about playing the Nets who they defeated 140-131 in their season opener. Brooklyn is off an upset win against Washington last night cleaning the board with a 60-35 advantage. Indiana has won the last five meetings and they get to a half-dozen tonight. Take the PACERS! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | UCLA +7 v. Kentucky | 83-75 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
U.C.L.A. vs Kentucky 4:00 ET Bruins (+) over Wildcats- The Bruins have been hit hard by graduation and theft. Gone are Lonzo Ball, T.J. Leaf and Isaac Hamilton along with the three freshman that (including LiAngelo Ball) were bounced for the year. This is the third meetings between these two schools within the last 12 months with the Bruins winning at Kentucky and the Wildcats getting revenge in the NCAA Tourney. This one will come down to the final buzzer...take the points with UCLA! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Connecticut v. Auburn -11 | 64-89 | Win | 100 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Connecticut at Auburn 2:30 ET Tigers (-) over Huskies- Oh how the mighty have fallen! It was been at least two decades if not three before you can find the last time the Huskies were double-digit dogs in consecutive games. The idea that Auburn is this strong a favorite over Connecticut in an NCAA basketball raises some eyebrows. The Huskies will get a good look at the recruit that got away as Mustapha Heron a Connecticut local decided on Auburn and he leads the Tigers in scoring as they go for their 10th straight win and they get it here. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
12-23-17 | Ohio State +7 v. North Carolina | Top | 72-86 | Loss | -108 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
Ohio State vs North Carolina 1:30 ET Buckeyes (+) over Tar Heels- Oh boy, North Carolina is coming off an upset loss to Wofford and now faces Ohio State in New Orleans. Buckeyes coach Chris Holtmann believes that the Tar Heel will be ready to lay a hurt on their next opponent which happens to be the Buckeyes. The Heels have not loss consecutive games since February 2016 and hold an 11-2 series advantage against the State. The Buckeyes enter with five straight wins and will throw everything they have at Carolina. Heels confidence is little shaky right now. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Nuggets +1.5 v. Blazers | 102-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Denver at Portland 10:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Trailblazers- Both these clubs enter this fray losing their last two with the Trailblazers struggling at home. Portland is the only team currently in a playoff spot with a losing home record (7-9) and haven't won at the Moda Center in over a month while losing their last five as hosts. It might help Portland that Denver has lost 10 of its last 13 on the road but the Blazers will be without guard Damian Lillard who has a hamstring injury last time out. The 'price' tells me that the Trailblazers are in trouble here. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Xavier v. Northern Iowa +6.5 | Top | 77-67 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
Xavier at Northern Iowa 9:00 ET Panthers (+) over Musketeers- No. 8 Xavier has won six straight games and has one of the largest scoring margins in the nation. The Musketeers defeated Northern Iowa twice last season both games on neutral sites. The Panthers are undefeated 6-0 at home and are 12-6 all-time against ranked teams at home and are battled tested having played No. 1 Villanova and No. 5 North Carolina and will come up big here. Take NORTHERN IOWA! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Colorado +5 v. Iowa | 73-80 | Loss | -125 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Colorado vs. Iowa 9:00 ET Buffalo's (+) over Hawkeyes- Both these clubs seem to be floundering a bit as Colorado has dropped three of their last five and the Hawkeyes started 3-0 then dropped six of seven and are now back on track with three straight wins. This is the first meeting between these two schools in 22 years with Iowa holding a 4-3 series lead (means nothing). With a strong performance by their bench to Buffs have the depth to win here. Take COLORADO! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Mavs -112 v. Heat | Top | 101-113 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
Dallas at Miami 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Mavericks- Miami is fresh off their win over the Celtics in Boston and won the season series 2-1 and now bring their depleted lineup home winning five of their last seven. The Heat will be without no only Hassan Whiteside their big powerful center but out as well is Goran Dragic and James Johnson. After a horrid start Dallas has played well of late and are off a win at Detroit. Dallas has owned the Heat in Miami going 14-5-1 ATS in the last 20 meetings in Miami. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Wizards v. Nets +5.5 | 84-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Washington at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (+) over Wizards- The last time the Nets won a game was against these same Wizards (103-99) who were playing without John Wall in Brooklyn on 10 days ago. The Wizards are off a 116-106 win over New Orleans but Wall is shooting just 35% since his return from his injury. Brooklyn has lost their last four but are looking to get Jahill Okafor some playing time as he has not seen any action the last two games. Look for the Nets to rebound here. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
12-22-17 | Northwestern +9 v. Oklahoma | 78-104 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Northwestern at Oklahoma 7:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Sooners- Does anyone remember that last time a player lead the NCAA in scoring and assists in the same season? I don't, has it ever happened? Well, right now Oklahoma guard Trae Young leads the nation in both averaging 28.5 points and 10.2 assists and is off a NCAA record tying 22 assists last time out. Northwestern after their NCAA run last season started ranked in the top-20 but dropped four of their first nine but have now won their last four. Take NORTHWESTERN! |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Spurs v. Jazz +3.5 | 89-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Utah 10:30 ET Jazz (+) over Spurs- Both these clubs have had a number of long team injuries to contend with as the Spurs have Tony Parker and Kawhi Leonard are back on a limited basis. The Spurs won without both of them last night at Portland 93-91 and come to Salt Lake City with a 3-game winning streak and winners of 11 of 14, as these clubs split four games last season. The Jazz are 11-5 both SU and ATS at home while San Antonio is 5-10 ATS on the road. In the second of back-to-back road games the Spurs fall tonight. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Gonzaga v. San Diego State +6 | Top | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show |
Gonzaga at San Diego State 10:00 ET Aztecs (+) over Bulldogs- Gonzaga who made it to the championship game a season ago are looking forward to a break in the weather and are happy to be in southern California to play just their second true road game of the year. San Diego State who has been off the past 12 days and is anxious to get their 'big' men on the floor (4 guys at 6'10” or better) against the Bulldogs. The Aztecs have three losses this season all to PAC-12 opponents and are 1-3 against Power-5 conferences but come up big tonight. Take SAN DIEGO STATE! |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Celtics v. Knicks +3 | Top | 93-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
Boston at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Celtics- The Celtics have cooled off a bit after starting 22-4 and have split their last eight games going 4-4 since but have dominated the Knicks at Madison Square Garden going 25-12 ATS. The Knicks have the most home wins of any clubs in the East with 14 and are 14-5 ATS as hosts. Kristaps Porzingis will be back in the line-up after missing the past two games (Knicks are 1-5 without him) and looks to gain some revenge for an early season 110-89 loss in Boston. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
12-21-17 | Raptors v. 76ers +3.5 | 114-109 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
Toronto at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Raptors- Handicapping the 76ers should be an easy thing. When Joel Embiid plays they are a contender when he doesn't they are 1-6 straight-up and right now they have dropped their last three and seven of their last eight. Toronto on the other hand has won four in-a-row and 10 of their last 11 going 11-1 at home but just 10-7 on the road. Embiid with miss both of these back-to-back meetings with the Raptors hosting Philly on Sunday. Toronto has dominated this series winning 16 of the last 17 meetings but that was a different Sixers clubs. In a bounce-back the 76ers get the money. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||

San Antonio at Portland 10:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Spurs- Okay, All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard has returned to the Spurs after a 27-game lay-off to start the season but has been limited to just 17 minutes a game. Portland is off a successful road trip (3-2) losing their final game 108-107 at Minnesota Monday when they didn't shoot a free throw in the second half. During the past 10 years the one team that has given San Antonio the most fits in the Trailblazers who are 19-13 straight-up over the Spurs and 10-4 st home. Take PORTLAND! |

Indiana at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Pacers- Indiana is coming off a disheartening loss against the Celtics with their last minute meltdown as they blew a five-point lead with 31-seconds remaining Monday after coming back from a 19-point deficit. Atlanta meanwhile, who is 2-5 straight-up in their last seven games is 6-1 ATS as they are taking advantage of the odds-maker after a horrendous start.

Toronto at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Raptors- Home court advantage is stronger then ever in the NBA. Toronto tonight's road team in this match-up is 11-1 at home but just 9-7 both straight-up and ATS on the road. Charlotte is off a home win Monday night against the Knicks but that was just the Hornets second win in their last seven games as hosts. The Hornets have had their way as hosts against the Raptors as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Charlotte including a 113-78 win last January the most recent head-to-head encounter. Add that the Toronto is just 9-23 ATS in their last 32 meetings overall. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Cavaliers- Well, the Cavaliers are on another winning streak with five straight victories as LeBron James has posted 'triple-doubles' in four of those five wins while Milwaukee has dropped their last three straight-up. These two clubs have one thing in common and that is both have played poorly ATS at home where the Bucks are 9-5 straight-up but just 4-8-2 ATS as hosts and the Cavaliers are 2-14-1 ATS at home. But, the critical point here is that the Bucks were 'favored' in those contests and now they are an underdog. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Philadelphia at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over 76ers- 'Break-up the Bulls' is the call after five straight wins following a 3-20 start has the Chicago youth movement headed in the right direction. Since returning to the squad after getting his face punched in by teammate Bobby Portis, Nikola Mirotic has been the glue hold this club together. Philadelphia is off a triple-overtime loss to Oklahoma City on Friday with Joel Embiid playing a career high 48 minutes and he will not even travel with the squad for tonight's contest.

New York at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (-) over Knicks- Streaks are a part of the NBA and here we have two clubs moving in opposite directions as New York has won their last four and Charlotte has dropped their last three. The Knicks have been winning but have incurred injuries to a pair of starters in Tim Hardaway and more importantly Kristaps Porzingis. The Hornets who opened the season 7-2 at home but have dropped 10 of their last 12 while New York has struggled on the road going 2-8 straight-up and 3-7 ATS. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Boston at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Celtics- Something is going on with the Celtics that the 'oddsmakers' must know about that is affecting the lines on their games. They just seem so short this past week. After a 22-4 start Boston has dropped 3-of-5 while Indiana has won five wins in their last seven contests and 11 of their last 16 with the emergence of Victor Oladipo. The Celtics may have lost some of their 'mojo' as they had two horrible losses last week to Chicago 108-85 and Utah at home 107-95. This 'number' is short and I believe the 'man' is telling us to take INDIANA! |

Indiana at Brooklyn 6:00 ET Nets (+) over Pacers- Brooklyn went out and traded Trevor Booker for a pair of No. 1 picks in Jahil Okafor and Nik Stauskas and they made their first appearance last time out in Friday's 120-87 loss at Toronto. Both made their Nets' debut Friday and were contributors as Stauskas scored 22 and Okafor 10 in just 22 minutes. Both clubs enter having lost their last two contests and the Pacers in the past have dominated this series in the past going 11-5 ATS in Brooklyn and 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings but, this is a much different Nets squad.

In that contest LeBron James scored 57 points (his 2nd highest) Cleveland won 130-122 and yet they are underdogs here. Washington with the return of John Wall have won the last two although he is just 11-31 from the floor which I expect to turn that around here. This time it's WASHINGTON! |

Orlando at Detroit 4:00 ET Pistons (-) over Magic- The Pistons have been among the 'streaky' teams this season and have bounced back with two straight road wins after a seven game losing streak. Detroit returns home where they have lost their last three contests but are 8-5 both straight-up and as host at home. Although Orlando won 3-of-4 from the Pistons last season they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Detroit and 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings overall.

San Antonio is off a horrid performance against Houston last night where they famous bench was outscored 73-36 as they never led at any points and trailed by 28-points at one time. I expect a huge effort out of the Spurs tonight as the stop their mini two-game slide. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

The Rockets offense is tops in the league while the Bucks defense is ranked 28th allowing 110.5 points in December. Take HOUSTON! |

So, why would the Cavaliers be almost a double-digit favorite when the Celtics have a much better record. Cleveland is double the points that the Celtics had to lay last night and tonight they win.

Cincinnati once again is a club that plays tough defense ranking No. 4 in defensive efficiency but losses to Xavier and Florida have dropped them out of the Top-25. Although the Bruins are just 2-3 ATS at home they are 5-0 straight-up and an underdog here. Take UCLA! |

Utah has dropped their last nine games at the TD Garden going 0-6-1 ATS and are 2-9-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings overall. Boston enters this contest a little banged-up as Irving, Horford and Marcus Morris are out or questionable. Jazz look to end their losing ways here. Take the JAZZ! |

Oklahoma City at Indiana 7:00 ET Thunder (+) over Pacers- Things are moving along exactly as I had predicted with the Thunder going in the tank (7-18-1 ATS) after acquiring Carmelo Anthony the 'stop and shoot' master who disrupts any offensive flow. Okay, enough of my venting and back to the games main storyline and that is the return of Paul George to the Pacers who played seven seasons with the Pacers. After opening the year 3-0 on the road the Thunder have lost nine straight and are 0-9 ATS. OKC already has a win over Indiana winning 114-96 back in October and that should help their confidence here. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

San Antonio at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Spurs- There are two teams that I really think twice about before I 'play against' them and San Antonio is one of them with Boston being the other (we did win against the Celtics last night). Tonight for the first time this season the Spurs will have the services of all 'Everything' Kawhi Leonard the two-time 'Defensive Player of the Year' and believe it or not the first game back is not always a good thing. San Antonio has won 10 of the last 11 meetings but Dallas is 5-1 ATS in the ;ast six. Take DALLAS! |

Bradley Beal has picked up some of the slack gong on a scoring spree. Brooklyn meanwhile will activate Jahill Okafor and Nik Stauskas both former first-round picks who were acquired in a trade with Philadelphia for Trevor Booker. The Nets just spent a week on the road playing a pair of games in Mexico City and going 1-2 on their trip. The Wizards have had the best of it between these two having won the last seven meetings and 12 of the 14 but they have lost to the five bottom team in the league already this season and a loss to the Nets will make it the 'bottom six.'

Detroit coach Stan Van Gundy has admitted that they have lost some confidence. The Nuggets might just be the answer as they have struggled on the road going 4-10 straight-up and 3-11 ATS including their overtime loss 126-112 at Indiana. Maybe Van Gundy should have keep his mouth shut when the Pistons were 10-3 and he stated 'our record is better then we are.' Okay, I believe...take DENVER! |

The Bulldogs will be playing their first true road game tonight and they are just 2-6 ATS in their last eight on the road while Cincinnati is 7-2 ATS in their last nine at home. The Bearcats do it with defense as they keep opponents shooting just 36.8 percentage and are 4th in the nation in scoring margin of plus 21.7 points. Mississippi State is undefeated but have had only home games and have played the 349th strength of schedule among 351 Division I teams. Take CINCINNATI! |

In head-to head action Toronto has dominated the series going 21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings including 11-5 ATS in 16 meetings in Los Angeles. The issue with those numbers is that the Clippers were the favorite in every home game and now the roll is reversed as the Clippers are the home underdog. Take the CLIPPERS! |

Boston by their own admission was ready to lay some revenge on the Pistons Sunday and that is exactly what they did winning 91-81 clamping down on defense. Chicago of Course is one of the weakest teams in the NBA after 'gutting' their roster in the off-season but the Celtics are off an emotional win and the Bulls usually plays the 'Bean Town' tough at home winning four straight regular season meetings as hosts.

Detroit has had problems scoring during their current losing streak but coaching insists that defense is the key.

12-08-17 | St. John's +5.5 v. Arizona State | 70-82 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
St. John's at Arizona State 8:00 ET Red Storm (+) over Sun Devils- A pair of clubs with different styles will face-off in the Hall of Fame Classic at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. Arizona State is averaging 92.7 points per contest while the Red Storm are allowing just 60 points per game. St. John's has made a huge comeback this season after a disappointing rookie season for coach Chris Mullen who has recruited a number of foreign born players except of course for Justin Simon who transferred from Arizona State to St. John's. These clubs met one other time in 2010 in Alaska with the Storm winning 67-58 which has ASU just 3-9 ATS against the Big East. Take ST. JOHN'S! |

12-08-17 | Cavs v. Pacers +4.5 | Top | 102-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 0 m | Show |
Cleveland at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Cavaliers- Less then three weeks ago most experts said that the 5-7 Cavaliers were not championship caliber but, 13 straight wins later they are only behind the Celtics in the East. One of those early season losses came against Indiana who took Cleveland down 124-107 on Nov. 1. The Cavs have had a great run but are just 9-16 ATS while the Pacers are 8-4 straight-up at home and are 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Pacers like to start the weekend right and are 4-0 ATS on Friday's and 4-0 ATS following a points spread loss. Take INDIANA! |

12-08-17 | Warriors v. Pistons +6 | Top | 102-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
Golden State at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Pistons- The have won five straight and they seek their sixth straight road victory at Detroit after a home loss to the Pistons 115-107 on October 29. Golden State is 12-3 straight-up on the road and 8-7 ATS while Detroit is 8-2 straight-up at home and 6-3-1 ATS as hosts. The Warriors will of course be without Stephen Curry and possibly Draymond Green but has seen Kevin Durant pick up the slack. Detroit has dropped their last four but is 6-0 ATS at home against teams with a 60% or better winning percentage. Take the PISTONS! |

12-07-17 | Rockets v. Jazz +6.5 | 112-101 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
Houston at Utah 10:30 ET Jazz (+) over Rockets- Houston is the hottest team in the NBA having won their last seven and own the best road record in the league winning 10 of 11 while covering 8-of-11. Utah can counter the Rockets road play with a winning home record of 11-4 both straight-up and ATS. The Rockets posted a 137-110 win over the Jazz on November 5th as James Harden scored a career high of 56 points. The Jazz allowed 110 points only one other time this season and will atone for their previous poor performance at Houston. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Warriors v. Hornets +6 | 101-87 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Golden State at Charlotte 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Warriors- Golden State is a little banged-up with Stephen Curry sidelined but have still four straight straight on this road trip. Curry who grew up in Charlotte will miss this homecoming of sorts as the Warriors take their 11-3 road record into his home town. Golden State has taken the last six in this series and their last three as visitors but the Hornets are 8-3 both straight-up and ATS at home. Kemba Walker has returned after a two-game absence and he will lead the way for the Hornets without Curry. Take CHARLOTTE! |

12-06-17 | Nuggets +5 v. Pelicans | Top | 114-123 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
Denver at New Orleans 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans will be looking for payback as they host the Nuggets and will most likely be without Anthony Davis who has missed the past two games because of a sprained adductor. Denver handed the Pelicans their worst loss of the season 146-114 three weeks ago in Colorado. DeMarcus Cousins who has seven technical fouls in 24 games could pick up any slack created by Davis' absence but he has to remain in the game and not foul out or get thrown out. The Nuggets have had the best of New Orleans going 5-1 ATS in their last six trips to the Crescent City. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Rhode Island +3.5 v. Alabama | 64-68 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Rhode Island at Alabama 8:00 ET Rams (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama coach Avery Johnson is a colorful character that has already had to finish one game with just three players remaining on the floor due to a bench clearing scuffle losing to Minnesota 89-84. (They actually outscored the Gophers playing short-handed three players to five) The Tide was in the Top-25 but two losses have dropped them out of the ranked. Rhode Island who is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 overall and are coming off a win over Providence and have already defeated a ranked Seton Hall club. Take the points with RHODE ISLAND! |
|||||||
12-06-17 | Grizzlies +2 v. Knicks | 88-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Memphis at New York 7:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Knicks- New York who has shown as much improvement as any other team in the NBA has hit a wall as losing their last two as their leading scorers are sidelined with injuries. Playing without Kristaps Porzingis and Tim Hardaway Jr. the Knicks just can't make up the huge talent loss when they are out. New York has dropped five of their last six and the Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Under new management (coaching change- Bennie Bickerstaff) and the Grizzlies posted their first win Monday over Minnesota. They like that...take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Wizards +6 v. Blazers | 106-92 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
Washington at Portland 10:00 ET Wizards (+) over Trailblazers- Washington will once again be without John Wall as the All-star point guard will miss his sixth consecutive game and will be replaced by back-up guard Tomas Satoransky who scored a career high in the Wizards 2nd worst franchise loss to Utah last night 116-69. Portland ranks last in assists per game with 18.1 and rank 22nd in offense and 26th in field goal percentage. I look for the Wizards to rebound here. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
12-05-17 | Michigan State v. Rutgers +14.5 | 62-52 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
Michigan State at Rutgers 7:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Spartans- No. 3 Michigan State has won six straight and five straight 'covers' since their 88-81 loss to Duke. Rutgers dropped their Big Ten opener to No. 14 Minnesota by 22-points and have lost their four conference meetings against the Spartans by 20, 34, 31 and 28 points since joining the Big Ten. Michigan State is 25-10 ATS in their last 35 versus Big Ten competition. This season Rutgers is much improves going 6-1 straight-up at home (2-1 ATS) and are second in the nation in total defense (56.3 points per game) and rebounding (46.1). Defense and rebounding will keep this one close. Take RUTGERS! |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Pistons +3.5 v. Spurs | Top | 93-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
Detroit at San Antonio 8:35 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- As John Candy once said 'When something works, I stick to it!' What I am talking about is the Detroit Pistons. Despite dropping their last two games they are 15-7-1 ATS on the season and have paid dividends for 'us' to date. The Spurs are still as consistent as ever going 10-2 straight-up at home and 8-3-1 ATS. San Antonio has dominated this series winning 31 of the past 43 games but this is a much improved Pistons squad. Detroit hasn't dropped three straight this season...I like them here. Take the PISTONS! |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Wolves v. Grizzlies +3.5 | 92-95 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
Minnesota at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Timberwolves- Okay now what? The Grizzlies had lost eight in-a-row and fired coach David Fizdale and hired interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff who has added three more losses since taking over running the streak to -11. Minnesota at 14-10 has still under-achieved 'covering' only 10 times this season. Memphis has been horrible at home this season and is 3-9 ATS as hosts this season but they are 11-4 ATS against the T'wolves in Memphis. The Grizzlies break the snide and post JB's first win. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Bucks +5 v. Celtics | 100-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:35 ET Bucks (+) over Celtics- Without a doubt in my mind Brad Stevens is the NBA Coach of the Year. The Celtics are doing it on defense leading the NBA without key players that have Boston playing short-handed. Over time with the all-out effort being put out every night the Celtics will start to wear down and break out physically. These two met in the Celtics 2nd game while still dealing with the shock of losing Gordon Hayward in game one and the Bucks behind 37 points and 13 rebounds from Giannis won 108-100 but Boston responded with a revenge home win a week later 96-89. Milwaukee is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Boston. Take the BUCKS! |
|||||||
12-04-17 | Wisconsin +5.5 v. Penn State | 64-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Penn State 7:00 ET Badgers (+) over Nittany Lions- What is going on with Wisconsin? Two years ago they were playing for the National Championship and already this season they have lost more game then that entire season. At 3-5 straight-up and have yet to 'cover' 0-3 ATS on the road. Looking closer at the Badgers poor record one notices that they have played three ranked-teams and are coming off a 25-point loss to Ohio State. Penn State is 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings but, they all came as underdogs. With the rolls reversed here...Take WISCONSIN! |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Spurs v. Thunder -4 | 87-90 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Thunder (-) over Spurs- I modestly must admit that I was the guy that said, with Carmelo Anthony going from New York to the Thunder two things would happen. First, the Knicks would be much better and Oklahoma City will decline. So, now we have New York with a winning record and the Thunder are at 9-12. OKC is talking about developing chemistry but when the ball stops moving every time it hits Melo's hands. Still, there is more talent here then with most clubs and they are 7-3 at home while the Spurs are 5-5 straight-up and 3-7 ATS in the road. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |
|||||||
12-03-17 | Seton Hall +3.5 v. Louisville | 79-77 | Win | 100 | 6 h 37 m | Show | |
Seton Hall at Louisville 4:00 ET Pirates (+) over Cardinals- Both coaches from these ranked clubs worked together under Rick Pitino before Seton Hall's Kevin Willard took the Pirates job. No. 17 Louisville is 4-0 at home but are just 1-3 ATS while this is the first road game for No. 24 Seton Hall who is 6-1 straight-up and 3-4 ATS. Usually, I look to play 'against' teams in their first road game but the 'price' tells me 'not here.' Louisville is 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall and just won't make here although the Pirates are 1-6 at Louisville but that was during Pitino's rein. Take SETON HALL! |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Arizona v. UNLV +5 | 91-88 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Arizona at UNLV 10:00 ET Rebels (+) over Wildcats- Arizona coach Sean Miller say that the off season problems that surround the Wildcats program hasn't effected their play. Well, Arizona was ranked in the Top-10 in preseason polls but three straight losses in the Bahamas have dropped the Wildcats for the polls. The Wildcats returned home and beat-up on Long Beach State 91-56. Now, they must face a much improved UNLV squad that won only 11 game last season but are now 6-1 coming off a loss to Northern Iowa their first road game of the year. Returning home gives the Rebels the edge. Take UNLV! |
|||||||
12-02-17 | Kings +12.5 v. Bucks | 104-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Milwaukee 8:30 ET Kings (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee who was a winner for us on Thursday 'outright' at Portland return home to face the Kings a team they defeated 112-87 in Sacramento Tuesday. The Bucks are always a team of interest and are 5-4 at home but just 3-5-1 ATS while the Kings are 2-7-3 ATS on the road and just 3-9 straight-up. Milwaukee has won the last three meetings but Sacramento is 7-2 ATS in 'Brew-town.' Take the KINGS! |
