11-02-21 | Rockets v. Lakers UNDER 218 | 117-119 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 59 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT ROCKETS @ LAKERS NBA BAILOUT The total closed at 224.5 points when the Lakers and the Rockets clashed in LA just a couple of days ago. The teams ended up combining for only 180 points, and while the total for this game is significantly lower than for the lats game, I don't think the market has adjusted enough. The Rockets are 6-0 to the under on the season as they're playing surprisingly good defense while lacking talent on the offensive end. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Kings v. Jazz UNDER 220 | 113-119 | Loss | -103 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
KINGS @ JAZZ TOTAL The Jazz are 5-1 SU and ATS on the season but I think they are asked to cover too many points in this matchup with the Kings Tuesday night. This is a potential flat spot for Utah who is coming off a 107-95 win at reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Sacramento on the other hand will be looking to snap back from a loss at Dallas. The Kings are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. In addition to Sacramento covering the spread, I also like the under. Under is 19-6-1 in Kings last 26 road games. Under is 9-1 in Kings last 10 games as a road underdog. Under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
11-02-21 | Kings +9 v. Jazz | Top | 113-119 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show |
TOP-RATED KINGS @ JAZZ NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Jazz are 5-1 SU and ATS on the season but I think they are asked to cover too many points in this matchup with the Kings Tuesday night. This is a potential flat spot for Utah who is coming off a 107-95 win at reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday. Sacramento on the other hand will be looking to snap back from a loss at Dallas. The Kings are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |

11-01-21 | Raptors v. Knicks UNDER 211 | 113-104 | Loss | -106 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL The Knicks have the second-best scoring average in the NBA at 117.0 points per game, but here they'll face a tough and slow team in Toronto. In fact, neither team is likely to drive up the tempo with the Raptors averaging only 93.4 possessions per game (19th) and the Knicks even fewer at 92.7 possessions per game (23rd). The Knicks have an offensive efficiency rating that is due to regress, and I expect to see this one stay under the total. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
10-31-21 | Blazers v. Hornets +1.5 | Top | 113-125 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
BLAZERS @ HORNETS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to fade the Blazers who are coming off a massive revenge win over the Clippers after getting humiliated in LA earlier in the week. The Hornets on the other hand should come out with more motivation after taking a 15-point loss at Miami in their last game. Hornets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
10-30-21 | Celtics v. Wizards UNDER 224.5 | Top | 112-115 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 27 m | Show |
CELTICS @ WIZARDS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY These two teams battled it out in Boston just a couple of days ago, a game the Wizards won 116-107. That game went under by the hook, and I think we'll see an even lower scoring affair here as the teams have had a chance to get familiar with each other. The Wizards have allowed 104, 107 and 111 points over their last three games and under is 7-2 in Wizards last 9 games as a home favorite. Additionally, under is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Kings v. Pelicans UNDER 220.5 | 113-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
KINGS @ PELS TOTAL The Kings are 3-1 to the under and the Pels 4-1 to the under. New Orleans is averaging only 100.8 points per game and it has the third-worst offensive efficiency rating with 98.6 points per 100 possessions. Under is 17-5 in Kings last 22 road games. Under is 16-5 in Pelicans last 21 games as an underdog. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Hornets +5.5 v. Heat | 99-114 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
HORNETS @ HEAT SIDE This will be a very interesting matchup between a Charlotte team that is averaging an NBA-best 121.2 points per game and the best defense in the league. Through their first four games of the season, the Heat have held opponents to 95.0 points per game, but they are allowing opponents plenty of three-point attempts and Charlotte has the players to take advantage. Heat are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
10-29-21 | Magic +8 v. Raptors | 109-110 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
MAGIC @ RAPTORS SIDE The Magic are only 1-4 SU and ATS on the season, but I think they're getting way too many points to pass on at Toronto Friday night. The Raptors are coming off a 118-100 win over Indiana, but they have looked far from impressive through their first five games, and they are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 home games while the Magic are 18-7 ATS in their last 25 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. 8* play on Orlando Magic. |
|||||||
10-28-21 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -5 | 104-101 | Loss | -115 | 23 h 1 m | Show | |
GRIZZLIES @ WARRIORS THURSDAY NIGHT BAILOUT Tough spot for the Grizzlies who battled the Blazers in Portland on Wednesday. Now they'll have to take on of the few undefeated teams in the NBA, and I don't see the Grizzlies being able to compete with the more rested Warriors. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. 8* play on Golden State Warriors. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Hawks -6 v. Pelicans | Top | 102-99 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
HAWKS @ PELICANS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks lost their only road game of the season so far (at Cleveland), but I think they match up well against this Pelicans team. New Orleans has the 26th worst offensive efficiency rating in the league while Atlanta has the fifth-best defensive efficiency score, allowing only 92.8 points per 100 possessions. The Pels are struggling without injured forward Zion Williamson, and without him, they do not have enough star power to compete with Trey Young and the rest of the Hawks. Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Hawks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Hawks are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New Orleans. Hawks are 7-0 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |
|||||||
10-27-21 | Hornets -6 v. Magic | 120-111 | Win | 100 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
HORNETS @ MAGIC NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Charlotte has opened the season with a solid 3-1 SU and ATS record. They lost to Boston in OT last time out but this looks like a good spot to snap back against an Orlando team that has lost three of its first four games on the season. Magic are 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Hornets are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite. Hornets are 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings in Orlando. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
10-26-21 | Nuggets v. Jazz UNDER 219.5 | Top | 110-122 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 15 m | Show |
LATE-NIGHT NUGGETS @ JAZZ NBA TOP PLAY BAILOUT Both Utah (no. 2) and Denver (no. 8) rank top 10 for defensive efficiency and they are 23rd and 24th respectively for pace (the number of possessions a team uses per game). They are a combined 5-0 to the under on the season and Denver has the worst turnover ratio in the league. The Nuggets will be playing on no rest after taking a 99-87 home loss to Cleveland on Monday. I think they'll do everything they can to make this game as slow as possible. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Bulls v. Raptors UNDER 212 | 111-108 | Loss | -107 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
BULLS @ RAPTORS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BOMBER The Raptors are 3-0 to the under on the season. They are averaging only 97.7 points per game while hitting just 26.4% of their three-point attempts. Both teams rank in the top six for defensive efficiency and the Raptors rank 27th for pace with 101.2 possessions per game. Under is 12-2 in Bulls last 14 overall. Under is 6-0 in Bulls last 6 road games. Under is 8-2 in Raptors last 10 home games. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
10-25-21 | Bulls -125 v. Raptors | 111-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
BULLS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Raptors are 3-0 to the under on the season. They are averaging only 97.7 points per game while hitting just 26.4% of their three-point attempts. Both teams rank in the top six for defensive efficiency and the Raptors rank 27th for pace with 101.2 possessions per game. Under is 12-2 in Bulls last 14 overall. Under is 6-0 in Bulls last 6 road games. Under is 8-2 in Raptors last 10 home games. In addition the under, I also like the Bulls to keep their perfect SU and ATS records intact. They swept the three-game series against the Raptors last season and the Bulls are an even better team this year while Toronto has gotten weaker IMO. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. |
|||||||
10-24-21 | Celtics -4.5 v. Rockets | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 16 h 28 m | Show | |
CELTICS @ ROCKETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Great spot to back the Celtics as a road favorite. They should come into this one with a chip on their shoulder as they're still looking for their first win of the season. The Celtics took a 115-83 loss as a 7-point home favorite against Toronto in their last game while the Rockets are coming off their first win of the season, a 124-91 triumph over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rockets are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. Celtics are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. 8* play on Boston Celtics. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Grizzlies v. Clippers -3.5 | 120-114 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 6 m | Show | |
LATE-NIGHT GRIZZLIES @ CLIPPERS NBA *BAILOUT PLAY* The Clippers opened the season with a 115-113 loss as an underdog at Golden State on Thursday. I think they'll pick up their first win of the season as a home favorite against Memphis on Saturday. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 47-22 ATS in their last 69 games following a straight up loss. The Grizzlies opened the season with a 132-121 win as a favorite against Cleveland. They are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. 8* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
10-23-21 | Mavs -3.5 v. Raptors | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
MAJOR WAGER ALERT - MIKE'S NBA GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE) Tough spot for Toronto who will be playing on no rest after blowing the doors off the Celtis in Boston last night for their first win of the season. The Mavs are in a bounce-back spot after coming out completely flat in a 113-87 loss to Atlanta in their season opener. Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Raptors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |
|||||||
10-22-21 | Jazz -5.5 v. Kings | Top | 110-101 | Win | 100 | 24 h 40 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT JAZZ @ KINGS NBA BASKET BRAWLER *BAILOUT PLAY* Both teams started the season with a win but in very different ways. The Jazz did not disappoint as they defeated Oklahoma City 107-86 as a 14-point favorite while Sacramento managed to win 124-121 as a 6.5-point underdog at Portland. The Jazz can clamp down on the defensive end in a way the Kings simply can not, and they have a much deeper team. The Jazz are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. They won all three of last season's matchups by an average of 29 points. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |
|||||||
10-21-21 | Mavs v. Hawks -138 | Top | 87-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
MIKE'S MAVERICKS @ HAWKS 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Both teams return the same core as last season when Dallas won both meetings straight up while splitting ATS. I like the Hawks to be the team to open with a win though, and to cover the spread in the process. The Hawks are 12-3 ATS over the last 15 meetings though, including 6-2 ATS home in Atlanta where they're always difficult to beat. Hawks are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 games as a home favorite. Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Wizards v. Raptors -2.5 | 98-83 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 28 m | Show | |
WIZARDS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Raptors have lost point guard Kyle Lowry to Miami, but Fred VanVleet should be ready to take on more responsibility. Other key players like OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam are still with the team and Goran Dragic and Precious Achiuwa, acquired from the Heat in the deal for Lowry, should have a positive impact. As for the Wizards, they're coming into the season with seven new players on the roster. I think it will take a couple of games for them to get the chemistry right.  8* play on Toronto Raptors. |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Bulls -5 v. Pistons | 94-88 | Win | 100 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
BULLS @ PISTONS SIDE The Bulls are coming into the season with a very exciting team. DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball have joined forces with Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic, and I hold them as a much better team than Detroit. The Pistons could have the youngest starting lineup in the league this season, and I think they lack the experience to compete with Chicago here in their season opener. Bulls are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Pistons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. |
|||||||
10-20-21 | Pacers v. Hornets -125 | 122-123 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
PACERS @ HORNETS SIDE The Hornets are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite, and I think they'll win and cover when hosting Indiana in their season opener on Wednesday. The Pacers are coming into the season banged up as both Caris LeVert (back), TJ Warren (foot injury) and Malcolm Brogdon (shoulder) are dealing with injuries. The Hornets are young and hungry, and they have serious talent in reigning NBA Rookie of the Year LaMelo Ball. Pacers are 3-10 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Charlotte. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
10-19-21 | Nets +1.5 v. Bucks | 104-127 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 50 m | Show | |
NETS @ BUCKS NBA BUCKET BREAKER The Bucks are coming into the season as the reigning NBA champions, but I think they'll come up short here in the season opener. I would not be surprised to see Milwaukee suffering from a championship hangover in the early stages of the season, and the Nets will be looking for revenge after losing to the Bucks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals last season. The Nets' players will have to watch the Bucks receive their championship rings and raise their title banner before the game, and I think they'll be the hungrier team. 8* play on Brooklyn Nets. |
|||||||
07-20-21 | Suns v. Bucks -5 | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 33 h 9 m | Show | |
SUNS @ BUCKS NBA FINALS GAME 6 BOOKIE BREAKER The Milwaukee Bucks are in prime position to take down the NBA Finals after stealing Game 5 in Phoenix. The home team won each of the first four games of the series in dominant fashion, and I like the Bucks to get it done in their own building. Suns PG and leader Chris Paul did not look healthy in the last game and Phoenix lost despite shooting 68% (13-of-19) from behind the arc. We know the Bucks are giving absolutely nothing for free on defese home at Fiserv Forum, and I expect their all-round play and their depth to be the main difference in this one. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
07-17-21 | Bucks v. Suns -3.5 | Top | 123-119 | Loss | -109 | 43 h 25 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA FINALS GAME 5 BOOKIE BREAKER The Bucks have tied the series following two wins home at Milwaukee, but now they're back on the road where the Bucks have been a very different team all year. They did not stand much of a chance in either of the first two games here at Phoenix Suns Arena, and I expect history to repeat itself in Game 5. Bucks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a road underdog. Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
07-14-21 | Suns v. Bucks -4 | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 22 h 43 m | Show | |
SUNS @ BUCKS NBA FINALS GAME 4 BOOKIE BREAKER The Milwaukee Bucks did not stand much of a chance in the first two games of the NBA Finals at Phoenix, but they bounced back with a dominant 120-100 home win in Game 3. While I do think Phoenix is the more talented team and the one to clinch the title eventually, winning in Milwaukee is not an easy task. The Bucks are 7-1 SU as home favorites in the playoffs and they have covered the spread in three straight games as home favorites. I like them to tie the series with another win SU and ATS on Wednesday. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Suns v. Bucks -4 | Top | 100-120 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ BUCKS GAME 3 BOOKIE BREAKER The Phoenix Suns have opened the NBA Finals with a couple of double-digit wins, but the oddsmakers are expecting a very different game as the series move to Milwaukee. The Bucks have gone from a 5-point dog on the road to a 4-point home favorite, and I agree as I do exepct to see a big reaction from the team in a 2-0 hole. Giannis Antetokounmpo has also had several days to recover from a hyperextended left knee, and I simply think the desperation from the home team will give them a result. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
07-08-21 | Bucks v. Suns -5 | Top | 108-118 | Win | 100 | 42 h 46 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BUCKS @ SUNS NBA FINALS GAME 2 BOOKIE BREAKER Game 1 of this series told us a lot. I thought the Bucks could hang around with the Suns, but that won't happen unless Giannis is fully healthy. He'll get some more time to rest up his knee for Game 2 of the series, but I think the Bucks will have to focus on defending their home court next up rather than winning this one. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
07-06-21 | Bucks +6 v. Suns | 105-118 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
BUCKS @ SUNS NBA FINALS GAME 1 BOOKIE BREAKER Favorites have dominated against the spread so far in the playoffs, but I like the dogs in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Sure, the Bucks will most likely be without their superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo (left knee) here in the opener, but this is a team with good depth and plenty of scoring options. Additionally, we can note that Phoenix is 2-3 ATS in its last five games while the Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last five. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
07-01-21 | Hawks v. Bucks -129 | Top | 112-123 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS GAME OF THE YEAR (SIDE) The Atlanta Hawks rallied the troops to beat Milwaukee and tie the series at 2-2 on Tuesday. Very impressive considering as they closed as an 8.5-point dog and did it despite playing without team leader Trae Young who is listed as questionable for this game. Now the Bucks will try to take back momentum, maybe without Giannis Antetokounmpo who is listed as doubtful after hyperextending a knee in the third quarter of Game 4. So we have a Hawks team off a huge 110-88 win which surely must have taken its toll both physically and emotionally. Now they can breath a bit instead of facing an elimination game. The Bucks on the other hand must be extremely disappointed with their last outing. Classic zig-zac situation as I expect to see a big reaction from the home team following a really poor showing. Fear the deer, with our without Giannis on the court. 10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
06-30-21 | Suns v. Clippers UNDER 215 | 130-103 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
SUNS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL The Los Angeles Clippers survived an elimination game a couple of days ago when they came up with a huge 116-102 road victory in Phoenix. They still find themselves in a 3-2 hole, and I don't think the Clippers will escape elimination this time around despite homecourt advantage here in Game 6. The Suns found themselves in an early hole last time out, but I don't see coach Monty Williams allowing that to happen again. "The desperation has to be there. That's the deal," Williams said. "Just because you have a lead in the series doesn't mean you can show up and they're going to give it to you. We have to understand that, and I think we do now. We will be better when we show up the next time we play." The Clippers sure looked like a team playing for its postseason life last time out, but can they bring the same intensity two games a row? The Suns responded with a lockdown defense performance in Game 4 after losing Game 3, and I expect them to bounce back with a big outing again. In addition to Phoenix closing out the series, I also like the under as I think they'll make it a lot harder for their opponent to get open looks in this one. 8* play on UNDER. |

06-29-21 | Bucks v. Hawks UNDER 219 | 88-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
BUCKS @ HAWKS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The opener of the Eastern Conference Finals saw a total of 229 points scored, but hte last two games have been much lower scoring. Now the Hawks might have to do without star guard Trae Young who is listed as questionable for the crucial contest after injuring his right foot Sunday in Game 3. Young will almost certainly be limited (if he even takes the floor), which will hurt the Hawks production badly. I expect defense to rule this game, and I'm very happy to back the under at this number. 8* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
06-28-21 | Clippers v. Suns UNDER 214.5 | Top | 116-102 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 31 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER | CLIPPERS @ SUNS BEST BET Game 4 of this series was a defensive struggle finishing with an 84-80 win on the road for the Phoenix Suns. They'll now be looking to close out the series in their own building, and while I sure like Phoenix to win, I would not be surprised if we see this one come down to the last bucket. The spread is really close IMO, but the total looks a bit inflated despite sitting almost eight points lower since the last game here at Suns Arena. These two teams are locked in defensively, and buckets are coming at a premium at every possession. We have seen three straight unders since a 120-114 Phoenix win in the opener, and none of the last three games went over this number. 10* play on UNDER. |

06-27-21 | Bucks v. Hawks UNDER 224.5 | Top | 113-102 | Win | 100 | 19 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT | EASTERN CONF PLAYOFFS TOTAL MAJOR WAGER We won with the Hawks in Game 1 but lost with them in Game 2 in what turned out to be a blowout win for the Bucks. In hindsight, a bad bet on Atlanta as it was an obvious bounce-back spot for the Bucks, who no doubt are the more skilled team. I don't see value on the spread posted for Game 3, but I think the bookmakers got the total all wrong. The two teams combined for 229 points in the opener, but we saw only 216 points in the next game, and I think we'll see lower and lower scoring games as the teams get more familiar with each other and the intensity on the defensive end ramps up.  The Bucks are 8-5 to the under in the playoffs. The Hawks are 10-3-1 to the under in the playoffs. 10* play on UNDER. |

SUNS @ CLIPPERS GAME 4 NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Phoenix Suns came out completely flat in a 106-92 loss to the LA Clippers in Game 3. Phoenix star Devin Booker was held to 15 points as he was adjusting to playing with a plastic face guard after sustaining a broken nose in Game 2, and I think Booker will be in for another tough game. While I like Phoenix to win the series eventually, I do like the Clippers to take Game 4 and tie the score. 8* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

3-PACK The Phoenix Suns came out completely flat in a 106-92 loss to the LA Clippers in Game 3. Phoenix star Devin Booker was held to 15 points as he was adjusting to playing with a plastic face guard after sustaining a broken nose in Game 2, and I think Booker will be in for another tough game. While I like Phoenix to win the series eventually, I do like the Clippers to take Game 4 and tie the score. In addition the the Clippers winning the game, I also like the under as I see Suns' banged up stars struggling with their shooting. 8* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS @ BUCKS GAME 2 BOOKIE BREAKER This was my write-up for picking the Hawks in Game 1: "I must admit that I was quite surprised to see the Atlanta Hawks beat the Philadelphia 76ers in a playoff series, but now they have my attention. After Atlanta's outrigh win in the opener, are we now supposed to fear the deer and back the Bucks in a blowout? Yes and no IMO. While a desperate Milwaukee team should win this one straigth up, this is still way too many to give Atlanta.Â

TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ CLIPPERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns stole Game 2 of this series with a final second bucket. How deflating must that loss have been for the Clippers? Sure, they'll be in their own building on Thursday, but note that the Suns are still the favorite according to the bookmakers. Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. We can also note that Chri Paul traveled with the Suns to LA, and he's considered a probable participant. The Clippers meanwhile will once again have to do without their top player, Kawhi Leonard. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

HAWKS @ BUCKS ECF GAME 1 BOOKIE BREAKER I must admit that I was quite surprised to see the Atlanta Hawks beat the Philadelphia 76ers in a playoff-series, but now they have my attention. Could the Hawks be this season's Cinderella team, like Miami was in 2020? I really don't think the Milwaukee Bucks would be here if not for the Nets getting depleted by injuries, and the Bucks still needed seven games to get past them. Bucks are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and this is way too many points to spot an underrated Atlanta team that has shown a tremendous never-say-die attitude. 8* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY Do or die Game 7 in Brooklyn with the Nets and the Bucks tied at three apiece. The home team has won each game so far and that's a trend I like to continue. The Bucks won Game 6 in what was a lackluster outing from Brooklyn, perhaps not all that surprising following their effort in the game prior. "We didn't look like we had a ton of energy all night," Nets coach Steve Nash said. "I think we wanted it; we just couldn't find it. And when you can't find that rhythm, it makes it even harder, and so it's kind of chicken-and-the-egg. Is the rhythm because you don't have the energy, or is it compounded because you don't have a rhythm?" Now at home in front of the hometown crowd at Barclays Center, expect the Nets to get it done and move on to the Eastern Conference Finals. Bucks are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. Nets are 11-1 ATS in their last 12 games as a home favorite. Bucks are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Brooklyn. I also like the under as this series really have turned into much more of a defensive struggle than the bookmakers have anticipated. 8* play on UNDER. |

TOP-RATED 10* NETS @ BUCKS GAME 6 NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Brooklyn Nets closed last game as a 1.5-point underdog, but managed to steal the win despite getting only five points from James Harden in 45 minutes in his first game back from injury. Kevin Durant carried the team with 49 points, 10 assists and 17 boards in 48 minutes, and I think he'll get more help from Harden in this one. The Bucks are a tough opponent, but note that they're only 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite and the Nets are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. I'm well happy to take the points on with Brooklyn here in Game 6, and I would also recommend sprinkling a little something on the moneyline. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

SIXERS @ HAWKS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers dropped the opener of this second-round series against the Hawks, but they've bounced back with a pair of convincing triumphs, including a 127-111 win here at State Farm Arena on Friday. The 76ers are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite, and I doubt homecourt will be of much help for Atlanta in this one. Philadelphia star Joel Embiid is listed as questionable, but that's been the case for pretty much every game and there's no way they sit him for this one. "I'm OK," Embiid said. "I'm standing up, I'm walking. I finished the game. I'm going to keep getting back up. I'm going to keep fighting. That's been me since I started playing basketball, so I'm going to keep fighting. That's been my motto. Whatever happens, get back up and keep it going." The Hawks caught the Sixers off guard in Game 1, but that's not happening again. With Brooklyn and Milwaukee mired in what's guaranteed to be at least a six-game series, I expect the Sixers to want to close this one out ASAP to give themselves as big of a rest advantage as possible for the Eastern Conference Finals. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

I like the Suns to close out the series ASAP in order to give themselves maximum time to rest and heal up for a Western Conference Finals series against either the Clippers or the Jazz. Without Jamal Murray, the Nuggets' backcourt is at a significant disadvantage to the Suns' backcourt duo of Paul and Devin Booker. Nuggets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Suns are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

NETS @ BUCKS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER The Milwaukee Bucks took Game 3 of this series and will now look to tie it up at two apiece before heading back to Brooklyn for Game 5. The last game really could've gone either way despite the home team holding a 30-11 lead after the opening quarter, and I still hold the Nets as the much better team. The fact that the bookmakers have made the Nets the favorites for this one despite losing Game 3 as a 3.5-point underdog suggest that I'm right.  The Nets are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite while the Bucks are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. I expect the Nets to run away with this one to set up an opportunity to finish the series at home on Tuesday. 8* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

The Jazz won the first two games of this series by three and six points, and I fully expect them to keep it close here as the series move to LA. I think the Jazz have a great chance of winning this one outright, but taking the points is excellent insurance if the outright upset falls short. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Jazz are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 playoff games as an underdog. Jazz are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Los Angeles. Jazz are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 8* play on Utah Jazz. |

I like Philly to take back homecourt advantage right away here when the series moves to Atlanta. The Hawks caught the 76ers off guard in Game 1, but I don't see it happening again. The 76ers have are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite and they've covered the spread with ease in three of the last four meetings with the Hawks. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

I think the Nuggets will struggle to muster up the energy needed to give the Suns a go here in Game 2, especially with Michael Porter Jr. probable and Will Barton questionable. Nuggets are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. 8* play on Phoenix Suns. |

The Jazz dropped Game 1 of their first-round series against Memphis, but they were dominant in the next four games to complete a gentleman's sweep, and I think they learned their lesson and have too much respect for the Clippers to come out flat in the opener of this series. The Clippers are coming off a tough seven-game series against the Mavs, and this is a big step up in competition. 8* play on Utah Jazz. |

The final result of 128-124 for the Hawks is misleading as they held a double-digit lead for most of the game, but the fact that Philly came back and made it as close as they did is a sign of things to come IMO. I fully expect the Sixers to be on their toes from the get-go in this one and put a real beating on the Hawks to to tie the score. Hawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. 76ers are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss. 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK | BUCKS @ NETS EASTERN CONF *BEST BET* We have only one NBA game tipping off on Saturday, but what a game it is with the Milwaukee Bucks visiting the Brooklyn Nets for Game 1 of their Eastern Conference semi-finals series. The Bucks are undefeated in the playoffs following a four-game sweep of last year's NBA finalists Miami, but this was a very different Heat team. Note that the Bucks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog while the Nets are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. Sure, the Nets dropped a game against Boston in their first-round series, but they dominated the other four. While Milwaukee won two of three regular season meetings, note that one member of Brooklyn's star trio (Durant, Harden and Irving) sat out in those games. Now they're all fit, and I don't see the Bucks keeping up with the scoring. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

I don't think the Portland Trail Blazers are ready to give up just yet though. The Blazers showed amazing grit last time out as they battled back from an early 22-point hole, and the game needed not only one but two overtime periods to decide a winner. The Nuggets eventually came though as a home favorite, but note that they're 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Trail Blazers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Clippers by double-digits. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |

The winner of tonight's game will have a huge advantage, and I think that team will be the Blazers. The Blazers came through with a 115-95 win last time out (despite Dame Lillard scoring only 10 points), and they've already proven they can win at Denver after taking the opener of this first-round series. I like them to steal another game on the road on Tuesday The Nuggets lack an answer to the Blazers backcourt, and the Nuggets don't pose much a danger if Jusuf Nurkic can keep Denver big man Nikola Jokic quiet.

Well, I think he's in for a tough game here. Nets are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite. Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog.

We should see better shooting from the home team in this one, and I like Blazers in a high-scoring affair. Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Portland.

The Miami Heat gave the Bucks a scare in Game 1, but the last two have ended in blowout wins for the Bucks and I think that's what will happen once again in this game. The Heat are struggling to create easy looks and to knock down shots when they do. And they know it. "Our rhythm is off," Heat guard Goran Dragic said. "It's way off. We lose our confidence." The Bucks are the better and hotter team, and I don't see them taking the foot off the gas, especially as they were eliminated by the Heat last year. 10* play on the Milwaukee Bucks. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY ~ NUGGETS @ BLAZERS The Portland Trail Blazers stole homecourt advantage by winning Game 1 of this series at Mile High. The desperate Nuggets were the better team in Game 2, but I expect a strong effort from the Blazers here in their first home game of the playoffs. Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Trail Blazers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Trail Blazers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

05-26-21 | Hawks v. Knicks -123 | Top | 92-101 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HAWKS @ KNICKS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY This is pretty much a "must-win" spot for the New York Knicks after losing the first game of the series. Leaving the Garden in a 2-0 hole would be disastrous, and I expect to see a hungry Knicks team tie the series. Note that despite a 107-105 win a couple of nights ago, the Hawks are still only 1-6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* play on New York Knicks. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Mavs v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 127-121 | Loss | -103 | 19 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MAVS @ CLIPPERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Dallas Mavericks delivered a 10-point upset in Game 1 of this first-round series, but I don't see the Clippers dropping two in a row at home. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home and the Mavs are despite the win last time out still only 5-11 ATS in their last 16 playoff games as an underdog. The Mavs have at least temporarily stolen homecourt advantage. With that in mind, I expect the Clippers to be the much hungrier team and dominate this game. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
05-25-21 | Lakers -118 v. Suns | 109-102 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
LAKERS @ SUNS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Phoenix Suns opened this series with a 99-90 win a a 2.5-point favorite. The line has switched with the LA Lakers a favorite for Game 2, and I trust the bookmakers know what they're doing. The Lakers came out flat on offense as both LeBron James and Anthony Davis had a terrible game shooting-wise. Still, the reigning champions know how to bounce back, and I expect them to step it up and claim this one to tie the series. 8* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |
|||||||
05-24-21 | Heat +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-132 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* HEAT @ BUCKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat gave the Bucks a scare in Game of this first-round playoff series, forcing overtime to eventually lose to a buzzer-beater from Khris Middleton. The Heat are matching up well with Milwaukee. They knocked out the Bucks on their way to the NBA finals last year and have covered the spread in four of the last five meetings at Fiserv Forum. 10* play on Miami Heat. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Hawks +1.5 v. Knicks | Top | 107-105 | Win | 100 | 17 h 18 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE WEEK ~ HAWKS @ KNICKS TOP PLAY The New York Knicks are back in the playoffs for the first time in several years. They've had an impressive year, but this looks like a tough first-round matchup with the Atlanta Hawks who are entering the playoffs as winners of seven of their last eight games. The Knickerbockers are one of the best defensive sides in the league, but it will be tough to slow down a Hawks team that has nine players averaging in double figures. Knicks are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 playoff games as a favorite and I expect the Hawks to steal this one outright. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |
|||||||
05-23-21 | Lakers +3 v. Suns | 90-99 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
LAKERS @ SUNS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Los Angeles Lakers looked unimpressive in their play-in game win over the Warriors, but I think they'll step it up a notch here against the no. 2 seed in the West. The Lakers have been dealing with injuries on their star players, but that also means that they've suffered less fatigue. The Suns notched the second-best regular-season record in the league, but we have yet to see this team in a playoff setting. Take the experienced Lakers to cover the number as an underdog here in the series-opener. 8* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Blazers +102 v. Nuggets | 123-109 | Win | 102 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
BLAZERS @ NUGGET LATE NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER | 10:35 PM ET START To the Denver Nuggets' credit, they have never stopped fighting despite losing Jamal Murray to a season-ending injury. This however looks like a tough, tough spot against a fully healthy Blazers team that is rolling into the playoffs as winners of six of its last seven games. 8* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Celtics v. Nets -7.5 | 93-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 3 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - NETS The Boston Celtics came through with a big effort to defeat Washington in the play-in round. This will be a much, much tougher game against a Brooklyn team that had to do without each of its big names at various stages of the season, but heads into the playoffs at pretty much full strength. The Celtics on the other hand have Jaylen Brown out for the rest of the season, and without him, I don't see the Celtics keeping pace with the Nets, especially not here in Game 1. 8* play on Brooklyn Nets. |
|||||||
05-22-21 | Mavs v. Clippers -5 | Top | 113-103 | Loss | -114 | 15 h 50 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* MAVS @ CLIPPERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The fifth-seeded Dallas Mavericks will visit the fourth-seeded Los Angeles Clippers in their Western Conference playoff opener on Saturday. The no. 4 seed vs. no. 5 seed might look like it should be a cloae matchup, but I think the Clippers will run away with this game. The Clipppers are healthy, well-rested (20-5-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 3 or more days rest) and took out Dallas in the first round of the playoffs last year. Look for Clippers to get it done. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
05-21-21 | Grizzlies v. Warriors -4.5 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 0 m | Show |
GRIZZLIES @ WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Golden State Warriors have won six of their last seven and gave the Los Angeles Lakers a scare in a loss on Wednesday. They get a second chance at making the playoffs with a win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday, and this time I think they'll convert. The Warriors have covered the spread in seven straight games and nine of their last 10. They're on a perfect 5-0 ATS run as a favorite and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. The Memphis Grizzlies defeated San Antonio to advance to this matchup with the Warriors, but Grizzlies have covered the spread in only one of their last six and they are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. These two teams battled it out here at Chase Center less than a week ago, a game the Warriors won 113-101. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

05-20-21 | Pacers v. Wizards -3 | Top | 115-142 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* PACERS @ WIZARDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Washington Wizards took a 118-100 play-in loss to the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. They get another chance to make it to the playoffs here against an Indiana team that made light work of Charlotte in their first play-in contest. The Wizards won each of the three regular-season meetings with the Pacers, and they're a lot healthier. Wizards are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Wizards are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite. Pacers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Washington Wizards. |
|||||||
05-19-21 | Warriors v. Lakers -5.5 | 100-103 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER I think the Los Angeles Lakers are severly underrated in this matchuo with the Goldem State Warriors. Steph Curry has been on fire lately, but note that the Lakers pounded their rival by 26 and 31 points in the next two meetings. 8* play on LA Lakers. |
|||||||
05-18-21 | Wizards +2 v. Celtics | Top | 100-118 | Loss | -101 | 22 h 47 m | Show |
WIZARDS @ CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Boston Celtics won two of three regular season meetings with the Wizards, but they were stumbling over the finishing line of the regular season dropping five of their last six and nine of their last 13. They've lost standout guard Jaylen Brown (wrist) for the rest of the season, and I don't see the Celtics having the firepower to keep up with Bradley Beal and Russell Westbrook. Wizards are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Wizards are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 road games. Celtics are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite. 10* play on Washington Wizards. |
|||||||
05-18-21 | Hornets v. Pacers -3 | 117-144 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
HORNETS @ PACERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER I honestly do not think Charlotte will stand much of a chance here in Tuesday's play-in game at Indiana. The Hornets are stumbling into the postseason, losing five in a row and 15 of their last 21 overall and they failed to hold on to an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter in a loss to Washington in their regular season finale. Additionally, note that forward Gordon Hayward (19.6 points per game) will not play due to a sprained foot. The Indiana Pacers on the other hand are playing well. They are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games and secured homecourt advantage with a dominant 125-113 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Hornets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. |
|||||||
05-16-21 | Hornets v. Wizards -6 | 110-115 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY HORNETS @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Big game for both sides as the winner of this matchup will clinch the No. 8 spot in the East. I think the Washington Wizards have a big advantage here as tney've been playing rather well down the stretch while the Hornets are coming off four straigth losses, most recently a 118-109 OT loss at New York last night. The Wizards have had a day of rest since their last game. Wizards are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 games playing on 1 days rest. Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Hornets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. 8* play on Washington Wizards. |

05-15-21 | Hornets v. Knicks UNDER 211.5 | Top | 109-118 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 16 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY HORNETS @ KNICKS NBA TOP PLAY | 1:10 ET START The New York Knicks have clinched a playoff berth, but they're battling Miami for the No. 5 or No. 6 seed. The Knicks have played great defense all season long, and the last three games have been no different allowing 100, 101 and 98 points, despite the middle game going to OT. The Charlotte Hornets are fighting Indiana and Washington for eighth place in the conference. While the Hornets won't lack motivation, I think they'll struggle to get open looks against this Knicks team.  The last meeting (on April 20th) finished with a 109-97 Knicks win. I think we'll see a very similar amount of points today. 10* play on UNDER. |

05-14-21 | Magic v. 76ers UNDER 220 | Top | 97-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers have put up only 94 points in each of their last two games, but also allowed only 103 and 106 points. They're likely to keep the tempo slow here as they'll be playing on no rest, and the visting Orlando Magic are averaging a lowly 103.9 ppg on the season and they've been held to fewer than 100 points in three of their last five games. 10* play on UNDER. |
|||||||
05-13-21 | Nuggets v. Wolves OVER 235 | Top | 114-103 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE MONTH | TOP-RATED 10* NORTHWEST DIV *BEST BET* I think we'll see a very high-scoring game when the Denver Nuggets visit the Minnesota Timberwolves Thursday night. The Wolves have really stepped it up a notch in recent weeks, winning six of their last nine games while scoring boatloads of points. The Denver Nuggets have split their last four games, despite scoring 113, 120, 119 and 117 points. Over is 11-4 in Nuggets last 15 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Over is 5-1 in Timberwolves last 6 home games. 10* play on OVER. |
|||||||
05-11-21 | 76ers -6.5 v. Pacers | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
76ERS @ PACERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Tough, tough spot for the Indiana Pacers who will be playing on on rest following a 111-102 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night while the Philadelphia 76ers have been idle since Saturday's 118-104 win over the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers would clinch the Eastern Conference's top seed with a win tonight, granted that the Nets lose to the Bulls. The Pacers are shorthanded with T.J. Warren (left foot stress fracture) and Myles Turner (right toe) definitely out. Additionally, Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), JaKarr Sampson (concussion) and Jeremy Lamb (knee) missed last night's game. The Sixers are not at full strength either, but they're well rested and I think the visitors will run away with this game. 8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

05-11-21 | Wolves -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 119-100 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Timberwolves put a 128-96 beating on Orlando last time out. The Wolves talented young guns led by Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell and potential rookie of the year Anthony Edwards are showing no interest in tanking. They are 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. The Detroit Pistons have lost six of their last seven games, and covered the spread only twice during that stretch. In their last game, the Pistons took a 108-96 loss to the Bulls. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |
|||||||
05-10-21 | Jazz -2.5 v. Warriors | Top | 116-119 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* JAZZ @ WARRIORS PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz are looking good to clinch the No. 1 seed in the West. They've won five games in a row and six of their past seven, and they're 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings with Golden State. The Warriors have clicked into gear as well winning four of five and six of their past nine, but Utah is a much tougher team than any other opponent they've faced during that stretch. While Golden State is pretty much the definition of a one-man show, Utah is quite the opposite and several role players have stepped up to fill the void of injured guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle injury) and Mike Conley (hamstring). Give me the better TEAM as a small road favorite in this one. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

05-09-21 | Wolves -6.5 v. Magic | Top | 128-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Neither the Minneota Twimberwolves nor the Orlando Magic will be playing postseason basketball, but unlike the tanking Magic, the Wolves are still trying to win. Sure, the Wolves have lost their last three games, but you can see they're trying. The Timberwolves are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss and 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

05-09-21 | Heat -108 v. Celtics | 130-124 | Win | 100 | 3 h 20 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY HEAT @ CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER | 1:10 PM ET Big game in the East with the No. 6 Miami Heat visiting the No. 7 Boston Celtics for the first game of two straight meetings at Boston. The Heat are clicking with wins in four of their last five games and eight of 11 overall. Boston meanwhile is slumping at the worst possible time, and All-Star forward Jaylen Brown is dealing with an injury. In their last game, the Celtics took a 121-99 beating by the Bulls and I think they'll drop this one as well. 8* play on Miami Heat. |

05-07-21 | Magic v. Hornets -7 | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
MAGICS @ HORNETS SIDE The Charlotte Hornets are battling with Indiana and Washington for a favorable position in the play-in tournament. They're a rather sizable favorite in this matchup with an Orlando team since long eliminated from playoff contention, and the under is 13-3 in Hornets last 16 games as a home favorite. The Magic are averaging a league-low 104.1 points per game, and they're highly unlikely to put up big numbers with the season all but over already. I expect the Hornets to get plenty of stops and keep this game under the total. In addition to the under, I also like the super motivated Hornets to win and cover after getting humiliated against Chicago here at Spectrum Center last night. Hornets are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points, and I expect them to absolutely shut down the Magic and run away with the game. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |

TOP-RATED 10* LAKERS VS CLIPPERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY We saw only 190 points in the last battle of LA back on April 4. I think this wlll be another low-scoring contest as the teams look to get the defense right for the playoffs. Under is 16-4-1 in Lakers last 21 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 24-11 in Lakers last 35 road games. Under is 6-0 in Clippers last 6 overall. Under is 11-3-1 in the last 15 meetings with Clippers hosting at Staples Center. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings overall. 10* play on UNDER. |

WARRIORS @ PELICANS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The New Orleans Pelicans took a 123-108 home loss to Golden State on Monday and are now 2.5 games back of San Antonio for the No. 10 play-in playoff spot in the West. The Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points, and I expect to see a reaction and a thirst for revenge after last night's loss. 8* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |

05-04-21 | Kings -5 v. Thunder | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR | 10* PACIFIC/SOUTHWEST *BEST BET* The Sacramento Kings have won two consecutive games and five of their past eight. They're still outside of the playoffs spot, and more or less have to win out to have even the slightest chance of making the play-in tournament. The Thunder have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and they've won only one of their last 10 games. With nothing to the play for, the Thunder are giving their young players more playing time. "We're integrating some new guys," coach Mark Daigneault stated. "We've got some new faces. We need to see those guys play in these games." I don't think the Thunder will stand a chance against a Kings team that is clicking.  Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Thunder are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Kings are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Kings are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
