12-27-22 | Spurs v. Thunder -6 | Top | 114-130 | Win | 100 | 12 h 20 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oklahoma City Thunder - ATS I like the Oklahoma City Thunder to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. Neither one of these teams have been really good this season, which is what most people expected. Although the Thunder haven't been great, we've seen a young star in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander come alive and become the face of this franchise. The 24yr old from Canada is averaging 31.6 ppg, with 5.7 assists and 4.8 rebounds on the year. Even though the Thunder are struggling, the Spurs have an even worse record. SAS will be in the second game of a back to back after playing the Jazz on Monday. Expect them to have some difficulties against a well rested Thunder team that hasn't played since Friday. T.M. Prediction: 123-105 Thunder. Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -8.0.. |

12-26-22 | Hornets v. Blazers -6 | Top | 113-124 | Win | 100 | 16 h 57 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers - ATS I like the Portland Trail Blazers to win this game against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. While the Blazers have been in a bit of a hole lately, they've got a great matchup here to get out of it. Although Charlotte won their last game against the Lakers, they still own one of the worst records in the entire league and sit in second last in the Eastern Conference. Portland needs this game to avoid falling to .500 on the season. In their meeting earlier this season in November, the Trail Blazers ended up winning that game by ten. That game was played in Charlotte. Being back at home in this one, it should be another easy win for POR. T.M. Prediction: 119-102 Blazers. Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -7.5.. |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Pacers v. Celtics -9.5 | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 16 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics - ATS I like the Boston Celtics to win this game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Both teams are coming back losses; however, the Celtics are in need of a win to possibly get back on top of the Eastern Conference. Those two losses both came to the Orlando Magic, and Boston is not impressed with their performance. The C's will have Jayson Tatum back in the lineup in this one as well after he sat out on Monday. Indiana is just 6-9 on the road this season and I don't think that they'll be able to keep up with an angry Boston team. It should be a destruction from the beginning. T.M. Prediction: 128-104 C's Line: -9.5 Line Parameter: play until -11.0.. |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Magic v. Hawks -7.5 | Top | 125-126 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 18 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks I like the Atlanta Hawks to win this game against the Orlando Magic on Monday. Off yesterday's huge win, the Magic are out here trolling Celtic players on Twitter. They've now won six straight games and still are just 11-20 on the season. On Monday, they'll take on a Hawks team that got right back into the winning column on Friday. With the two days rest, I firmly believe that Atlanta will beat this cocky Magic team by a lot, especially at home in this one. Lay the points with confidence. T.M. Prediction: 114-101 Hawks. Line: -7.0 Line Parameter: play until -8.0.. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Suns -5.5 v. Rockets | Top | 97-111 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns I like the Phoenix Suns to win this game against the Houston Rockets on Tuesday. Off four straight losses, the Suns really need to get back on track here against Houston. The Rockets enter this game off an upset win against the Bucks on Sunday. They've also already beaten the Suns this month. However I see revenge in this one. Phoenix has a really tough schedule ahead of them and if they lose here it could be a tough stretch to end the calendar year. Expect them to pull off this win against a weak opponent. T.M. Prediction: 124-108 Suns. Line: -5.0 Line Parameter: play until -6.5.. |
|||||||
12-12-22 | Cavs -5.5 v. Spurs | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 16 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavs I like the Cleveland Cavaliers to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. While Cleveland has been quite inconsistent as of late, I don't believe they should have anything to worry about in this one. The Spurs are coming off a huge win against the Heat in a game where they couldn't miss late in the 4th. Now, they'll face a different kind of team that owns the third best record in the Eastern Conference. Expect Mitchell and Garland both to have big games against a lousy Spurs defense. T.M. Prediction: 115-102 Cavs Line: -5.5 Line Parameter: play until -6.5 |
|||||||
12-11-22 | Lakers -5 v. Pistons | Top | 124-117 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers I like the Los Angeles Lakers to win this game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday. While the Lakers have had an inconsistent start to the season, they look to avoid their forth consecutive loss here against Detroit. Although they didn't win in their last game, Anthony Davis played extremely well for LA. They just need Lebron to have a good game as well here tonight and they should dominate. People can criticize LAL all they want, but the Pistons are even worse. They bring a 7-21 record into this game and have lost three of their last four. With Cunningham still out, I don't think Detroit has the weapons to keep up with LA in this one. Lay the points here. T.M. Prediction: 121-103 Lakers Line: -5.0 Line Parameter: play until -6.5 |
|||||||
12-07-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 111-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers I like the Los Angeles Clippers to win this game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. While the Magic have struggled to open up the new season, LA has been good. The Clippers have been without Kawhi and PG13 for some of the season and they've held their ground without them. With both of them back now, against a 5-20 Magic team, I fully believe that they should have no problem in covering this spread. T.M. Prediction: 121-104 Clippers Line: -4.5 Line Parameter: play until -7.5 |
|||||||
12-05-22 | Pacers v. Warriors -9.5 | Top | 112-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Golden State has been dominant at home this season. With a near perfect 11-1 record at Chase Center, GSW is now back in the playoff picture after having lost so many game to open up the year. Indiana, on the other hand, comes into this game of three straight losses of 16+ points. The Pacers just played Portland last night, and I expect them to be very tired as they travel south and play their second consecutive game in less than 24 hours. Give me the Warriors at home. T.M. Prediction: 129-110 Warriors. Line: -9.0 Line Parameter: play until -12.5 |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Pelicans -7 v. Spurs | Top | 117-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans I like the New Orleans Pelicans to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Off their big blowout win against the Raptors on Wednesday, the Pelicans have now won four of their last five games. The Spurs have now lost nine games in a row. Not only have they not been shooting the ball well, but their rebounding has been awful as well. A team cannot shoot badly and rebound poorly and have a chance at winning. It's how this game works. In their last meeting against each other, which was less than two weeks ago, the Pelicans won by 19 points. Expect a similar outcome on Friday night. T.M. Prediction: 124-102 Pelicans Line: -7.0 Line Parameter: play until -9.5 |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Hawks -5.5 v. Magic | 125-108 | Win | 100 | 13 h 18 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks I like the Atlanta Hawks to win this game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. Although the Hawks are on the road in this one, they are still the more superior side. Trae Young has been amazing once again this season for ATL. However, he's struggled to shoot the ball against two very good teams in his last two. Now, he'll face one of the leagues worst defenses, one that he already dominated in their first meeting. Off three straight losses, give me the Hawks in a big bounce back game to get back on track. T.M. Prediction: 123-104 Hawks Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -8.0 |
|||||||
11-28-22 | Rockets v. Nuggets -11.5 | Top | 113-129 | Win | 100 | 14 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets I like the Denver Nuggets to win this game against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Off back to back wins, the 5-14 Rockets will be feeling slightly overconfident. Denver brings in a 12-7 record, which is the second best in the West at the moment. With Houston due for a loss, and with Denver looking good as of late, I like the home Nuggets on Monday evening. T.M. Prediction: 121-101 Nuggets Line: -11.5 Line Parameter: play until -13.0 |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wizards v. Heat -3.5 | Top | 107-110 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat I like the Miami Heat to win this game against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Although the heat haven't been that great to start the season, and are dealing with many injuries, I believe that they still are the better team in this matchup. These two teams met on Wednesday, and the Heat came away wit the 8pt victory. Kyle Lowry has stepped up his game and shown everyone that he isn't done yet. Washington might be without Beal again tonight which will make things difficult once again for the Wizards. Give me the Heat in a game to get back in within a game of the play-in tournament on Friday. T.M. Prediction: 111-98 Heat Line: -4.0 Line Parameter: play until -5.5 |
|||||||
11-21-22 | Blazers +9 v. Bucks | 111-119 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers I like the Portland Trail Blazers to win this game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. Even though Damian Lillard is hurt and will miss this game, I fully believe that this Blazers team is very capable of covering this spread and even winning this game. Anfernee Simons has turned into a beast, Jerami Grant was a huge pick-up in this offseason, and Josh Hart was balling on Saturday. Giannis, who hasn't looked the greatest after coming back from injury, is starting to get figured out by teams in the league. Nobody will ever be able to fully stop him, but slowing him down has been a more consistent theme as of late. With the Blazers off to the great stop that they have been on, and with the Bucks off a sad loss against the 76ers last time out, expect POR to cover the spread at the bare minimum. T.M. Prediction: 111-110 Blazers. Line: +9.0 Line Parameter: play until +7.0 |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Jazz v. Blazers -3.5 | 118-113 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 30 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers I like the Portland Trail Blazers to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Saturday. Last night, the Jazz played at home in a very high scoring win against the Suns. Although they have gotten off to a very strong start, stronger than anyone expected, this Blazers team is very talented. Off their loss against the Nets on Thursday, Portland still sits at the top of the Western Conference. While the Blazers don't shoot that many threes as a team, they are hitting them when they are shooting them. Lillard, Simons, Grant and co. have led to their teams 39.1% 3pt percentage to start the year. That's good for third best in the entire NBA. This line is very low, considering Utah just played in a very tough game last night. Blazers should cruise here. T.M. Prediction: 118-107 Blazers. Line: -4.0 Line Parameter: play until -5.5 |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Thunder v. Grizzlies -6 | 110-121 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies I like the Memphis Grizzlies to win this game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is incredible, there's no doubt about that, but the Grizzlies are a very good team themselves. Off their win on Wednesday, the Thunder have now won three of their last four and are due for a loss. The Grizzlies may have lost back to back games, but they are coming off of two days rest and really need a win here. At home, give me the Grizz here in this one. T.M. Prediction: 118-104 Grizzlies. Line: -6.5 Line parameter: play until -9 |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Nets +2 v. Kings | 121-153 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 48 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets I like the Brooklyn Nets to win this game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. While the Nets have been without the best ball-handler in NBA history the past few games, they are still a very talented basketball team. With Kevin Durant, any team can be good and he has been excellent once again to start this season. Sacramento comes into this game off three straight wins. They've beat very talented teams in the defending champs, the Cavs and the Lakers during that span. I expect them to prevail to another very good team here. +2 is a gift for Brooklyn. T.M. Prediction: 119-113 Nets. |
|||||||
11-11-22 | Cavs v. Warriors -1 | 101-106 | Win | 100 | 31 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. The Cavs come in with a much better record than these Warriors. But that does not mean that they are the better side. Don't get me wrong, the Cavaliers are a very talented squad and may make some noise, but this is the defending champs we are talking about. Steph Curry took things personal in their last game against the Kings and dropped 47 in their win against the Kings. Jordan Poole, one of their up and coming superstars, only had two points in a very disappointing game for him. I expect a bounce back game from Poole and for the Warriors to cruise by Cleveland with another win at home, where they've been dominant this season. T.M. Prediction: 114-106 GSW. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Pistons +11.5 v. Celtics | 112-128 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Detroit Pistons I like the Detroit Pistons to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics on Wednesday. Although these two teams are very different on paper, the Pistons are coming off a huge win that should give them confidence coming into this one. Detroit has one of the most talented young core of players in the NBA led by the back court of Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey. The Celtics enter this game off a hard fought win against the Grizzlies and might slightly overlook the Pistons here. With the excellent 7-3 record, the Celtics have not rebounded the ball well. They average just 41.2 rebounds per game which is the 26th best in the league. On the other hand, Detroit isn't the greatest either, but average 2.8 more rpg's as the C's do. Off three straight wins, and with the Nuggets up next, expect Boston to take the foot off of the gas pedal and not play as hard as they should against a well coached Detroit team here. T.M. Prediction: 109-107 Celtics. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Blazers -4.5 v. Hornets | 105-95 | Win | 100 | 26 h 9 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers I like the Portland Trail Blazers against the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday. With Damian Lillard back off injury, and the Blazers red hot to open up the season, I do not see them slowing down one bit against the Hornets here. Through their first 10 games of the season, Portland is averaging a 3pt FG percentage of 39.5%. That gives them the third best % in the NBA. Having said that, the Hornets are just tied for 22nd in that category. Without Lamelo Ball still, and with the Hornets struggling to open up the new season, I expect the Blazers to take care of business and pick up their 8th win of the season in this one. T.M. Prediction: 119-106 Blazers. |
|||||||
11-01-22 | Wolves v. Suns -4 | 107-116 | Win | 100 | 30 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns I like the Phoenix Suns to win this game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday. While both teams are supposed to be top tier teams in the Western Conference, I believe that this home court advantage that the Suns provide is something to notice. Last season, Phoenix was 32-9 at home. They've started this season with a perfect 4-0 record on their own court as well. On the other hand, the TWolves were just 20-21 on the road last season, 1-1 this year so far. I'm expecting a back and forth game here, but for the Suns to pull away slightly at the end. T.M. Prediction: 108-101 Suns. |
|||||||
10-30-22 | Magic v. Mavs -11 | 105-114 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks I like the Dallas Mavericks to win this game against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. This is a big line, Â but I believe that it isn't big enough. The Magic are coming into this game off their first win of the 2022 season. Although they looked solid, against a banged up Hornets team, they've really struggled from the 3pt line this season. Shooting just 29.4% from behind the arc, they haven't been able to keep up with teams. The Mavs come in with a 2-2 record, but Luka Doncic has looked unstoppable yet again to start the season. The European superstar is averaging 36.3 ppg, with 9.3 assists and 9.5 rebounds on the year. Opposite to the Magic, Dallas is shooting 41.2% from the three point line this season which gives them the 2nd best percentage in the NBA currently. I'm expecting a blowout for the home team in this one. T.M. Prediction: 118-100 Mavs. |
|||||||
10-27-22 | Clippers -7.5 v. Thunder | 110-118 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 28 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers I like the Los Angeles Clippers to win this game against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. These two teams met on Tuesday where the Thunder ended up winning by 14. Now, the Clippers will have another chance to get revenge on a team that they know they are better than. Although LA will be without Kawhi again, they still have a loaded team. With Paul George, John Wall and Reggie Jackson, teams will have issues guarding them all. The Thunder lost the #2 pick in the NBA Draft in Chet Holmgren for the season, after he suffered an injury during the offseason. This season, they should be just out there having fun as they build their roster to be complete in two to three years. I fully expect the Clippers to bounce back on Thursday with a big win here. T.M. Prediction: 111-94 Clippers. |
|||||||
10-26-22 | Spurs v. Wolves -8 | 122-134 | Win | 100 | 27 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: TWolves I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The Spurs have already beaten the TWolves this season, and I believe that that game was a complete fluke. Although Minnesota is just 2-2, they have one of the most complete teams in the NBA, with a very strong starting lineup. The Spurs come in with a 3-1 record. They have a very young roster that can look good at times, but I do not expect them to be a contender this season. Expect a bounce back game from Towns and the Timberwolves on Wednesday. T.M. Prediction: 121-94 MIN. |
|||||||
10-25-22 | Warriors +3 v. Suns | Top | 105-134 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The Warriors come into this game off a big win against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. GSW scored 89 points in the first half and looked pretty unstoppable during that game. With snipers like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, and Andrew Wiggins, this team is hard to stop for anybody in the league. The Suns come in off a win as well against the Clippers. Booker was the main focus during that game as Chris Paul and a few of the other guys were struggling to find their rhythm. Looking at this matchup, they both love their shooting and they both have excellent ball movement. Both of these teams rank in the top 5 in assists per game (Suns - #4 / Warriors #2.) Although Phoenix is at home, the Warriors just look too deadly at the moment. I'll gladly take the points with the defending champs here. T.M. Prediction: 114-108 Warriors. |
|||||||
10-21-22 | Jazz v. Wolves -8.5 | Top | 132-126 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Friday. While both of these two teams won in their opening games, the TWolves have the much more talented team in this matchup. Utah somehow beat the Nuggets in a blowout victory to start the year. Although they looked like a decent team, they are in rebuild mode and I do not expect them to win that many games this year. Minnesota, on the other hand, picked up former Jazz player Rudy Gobert this offseason. The "twin towers" in Rudy and Towns should dominate this Utah team in Gobert's first matchup against his old team. Give me the Timberwolves. T.M. Prediction: 124-92 TWolves. |
|||||||
10-21-22 | Raptors v. Nets -2 | 105-109 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets I like the Brooklyn Nets to win this game against the Toronto Raptors on Friday. While the Raptors won their opening game against the Cavaliers, the Nets lost to New Orleans. That was a wake up call for the very talented Brooklyn side featuring some of the the best players the NBA has ever seen. With Kyrie Irving not having his strongest game last time out, and Kevin Durant just being the scorer that he is, I expect the Nets to bounce back in a big way, especially if they don't want to go into their third game against the Grizzlies, winless. T.M. Prediction: 117-108 Nets. |
|||||||
10-21-22 | Bulls -1.5 v. Wizards | 100-102 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 24 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls I like the Chicago Bulls to win this game against the Washington Wizards. Both of these two teams come into this game off a win, which means both are still undefeated. The Bulls played against Miami, and pulled off the upset on the road, without Zach Lavine. They'll be without Lavine once again today, but that shouldn't be a problem because the Bulls are just a much better team than the Wizards. Expect the Bulls to get off to a good start and keep their lead throughout this game on Friday. T.M. Prediction: 114-101 Bulls. |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Nuggets -7.5 v. Jazz | Top | 102-123 | Loss | -115 | 34 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets I like the Denver Nuggets to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Utah is not going to be good this year. Everyone knows that. Although they went to the playoffs last year, the Jazz lost their two best players in Donavan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. Many thought they were going to keep one of them, but they ended up trading both, in what looks to be a full rebuild of the organization. The Nuggets, who also went to the postseason last year, will have star PG Jamal Murray back in action to start this season. Murray did not play a single game last season, and he should be a huge help for this Nuggets team that will be complete with him back. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is ready to dominate once again and wants to go back to back. Expect a huge performance from the home team on Opening Night for these teams. T.M. Prediction: 121-96 Nuggets |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Knicks v. Grizzlies -5.5 | 112-115 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 20 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Grizzlies I like the Memphis Grizzlies to win this game against the New York Knicks on Wednesday. With this being the first game of the 2022-23 NBA season for both of these two teams, I don't expect either team to be in mid season form quite yet. All of the hype on Ja Morant coming into this year is real, and he's ready to take that step and become one of the best in the league this campaign. The past 10 times these two teams have played in Memphis, the Grizzlies have won 8 of them. Dating back to last year, Memphis is also a dominant 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games played against teams from the Eastern Conference. With the Grizzlies coming off a tough loss against the Warriors in the playoffs last year in a series that they could have won, I expect them to start the season off with a BOOM, reminding people how good they are. T.M. Prediction: 115-103 Grizzlies. |
|||||||
10-18-22 | 76ers +4 v. Celtics | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 200 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to win this game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Opening night means two tremendous matchups. Starting the season off, Philly will travel to Boston to take on the 2021-22 Eastern Conference Champs. An up and down offseason saw Boston lose their head coach yet again. Now they'll have Joe Mazulla, last season's assistant, take over as the interim head coach. The 76ers worked hard all offseason to build James Harden and Joel Embiid's connection with each other. They will be a much improved duo that might take over the entire league this season. With the Celtics having been the East's best team last season, I expect them to come out a bit shaky with so much pressure to be the same this year. Philly has nothing to worry about except for proving to the league how good their team really is. Expect an upset on Opening Night. T.M. Prediction: 107-101 76ers. |

06-10-22 | Warriors +4 v. Celtics | Top | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Warriors are losing in this series 2-1 but I think they are going to bounce back here and take a road game back in this series. They didn't look good at all in the 1st half of their previous game and they really lost the game in that half. They made a big comeback in the 3rd quarter, erasing a 10+ point deficit to even take the lead, but once the Celtics got going again in the 4th quarter there was no keeping up for the Warriors. The last thing they want to do now is go back home down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination knowing they still need a road win in this series to win the Championship. I expect them to give their best effort in this game to ensure that doesn't happen again and after that 1st quarter in their previous game, I'm expecting them to be a lot better early in this game since their play in that quarter was such a setback for them in the previous game. The Warriors still looked good in half of that game and I expect them to have a better offensive effort here. They didn't produce a lot offense in the previous game since they were missing shots early but I expect them to play with more defensive intensity and make more of those shots early in this game. I can't see the Warriors going down 3-1 in the series here with the players they have on that team and I expect the experience of the warriors to really kick in this game and take control from the start. I'm expecting a very dominant performance from the Warriors in this game and I think they can even win this game to even up the series. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-102 Warriors. |

06-08-22 | Warriors +3.5 v. Celtics | 100-116 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors evened up the series at 1 in the previous game and they looked a lot better in that game after losing the 1st game. They still looked great in game 1 but they let it go in the 4th quarter and that 1 bad quarter buried them but they bounced back in game 2 and I expect to see that Warriors team again here. This was a much more dominant effort by the Warriors here, taking an early lead in the 2nd game but this time they extended it in the 3rd quarter and held on in the 4th to win the game big by 20 points. Now they see themselves as a dog here in this road game and I think they have a chance to even win this game straight up let alone cover the spread here. Tatum was not a big factor in the 1st game and the Celtics still won that game but he had a much bigger presence in the 2nd game and his team went on to lose that game. The Warriors looked great on defense though in game 2 and managed to take everyone else out of the equation in that game. I think they are going to play with that same defensive effort here knowing they need to win a road game and flip the series back in their favor now. The Celtics haven't really looked great in these games so far, they played 1 great quarter in game 1 to win that game but other than that, they have been trailing in these games for a large majority of them. The Warriors have also proven that they can win road games in this postseason while the Celtics have looked good in some of their home games but have somehow been a better team in road games this postseason. I think the Warriors are going to come with their best effort here and take the series lead here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-101 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Warriors are down 1-0 in this series after losing their 1st home game of this postseason. I still think they looked really good for a majority of that game though, and they were dominating the Celtics up to the 4th quarter. They had a 12 point lead going in and came out with a 12 point loss but other than that 1 bad quarter where they blew the game and let it get away from them, I still think they looked great and were the better team. I expect them to bounce back with a much better effort in this game and I expect to see them even up the series at 1 here. The Celtics did look really good in that game too but Tatum didn't have a good game at all, missing a lot of his shots but I also think the Warriors gave a good defensive effort to shut him down in that game and I expect to see the same thing here tonight. I can't see the Warriors going down 2-0 on their own court here and having to go back to Boston in a huge hole. Some of the Warriors players have even came out and said that they weren't fully focused in that game but I expect their focus to be on this game and I don't see the Warriors leaving this game without a win. The Warriors have been dominant this whole postseason losing their only home game in the previous game but the Warriors didn't play in a single 7 game series this postseason either, unlike the Celtics who have to play 7 games in their previous 2 series. I think that fatigue is going to catch up to them and I'm not going to count the Warriors out here after 1 bad quarter on their own court. This is a bounce back game for the Warriors here, I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Thursday. The Warriors have looked great in this postseason, they have won 2/3 of their series in 5 games and the other in 6 games. The Celtics have looked really good in some games this postseason too but there has also been other games that they haven't looked good at all in, getting blown out by 10+ points in those games and they have had 2/3 of their series go 7 games too. I think the fatigue is going to start settling in for the Celtics a bit and I expect the Warriors to really turn on the jets here with the championship being so close now. The Warriors have looked really good in their home games too, they haven't lost a home game in this postseason at all yet. I expect that to be the same here and with such a low spread here, I expect this game to be dominated by the Warriors on their home floor right from the start. The Warriors have even won a majority of their home games in this postseason by 10+ points and they have looked really good with both their offensive and defensive effort in their games. The Celtics haven't looked great in game 1's either, they won their 1st game in the 1st round when they swept the Nets but lost both game 1's against the Bucks and the Heat in their 2 previous rounds. I think the Warriors just have better players here and they were dominating the NBA all throughout the regular season while still missing Klay in their starting rotation. I think their team is a lot deeper too and I expect them to set the tone in this series with a huge win on their home court here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread in this game against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. The Heat really showed up in Boston in the previous game, they were on the brink of elimination and they managed to beat the Celtics by 8 points and send this to a game 7. The previous 3 games in this series have been really defensive and I think this will be the same but I expect the Heat to come with that same defensive effort that won them the previous game. Jimmy Butler had a huge influence on the offense in that game, putting up 47 points himself and even Kyle Lowry got himself involved in the scoring a lot more than he has been doing in this series. I expect them to continue playing great defense in this game like they have been all series but I also expect Butler and Lowry to have big games again and help their team put up the points to win this game. The Heat are on their home court here and they have looked great in home games all year, I don't think they are going to play any differently here. Tatum, Brown, and even Derrick White all had 20+ points for the Celtics in that previous game but their offensive effort wasn't enough to beat the Heat and I expect that same effort from the Heat to shut down these guys even more now that they are on their home court here. The Heat finished 1st place in the East and they were one of the best home teams all year, they aren't going to just go away easily in this game. I think this is a game the Heat can win, I like the Heat to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 99-94 Heat. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Heat are really banged up for this game but they were also banged up in their previous game and they still looked really good in the 1st half. They stayed in that game and were even leading for a majority of the 1st half but things started to fall apart for them in the 2nd half. That game was really defensive though and I think that the Heat are going to have to play with that same defensive effort here to try and win this road game and stay alive. The Heat may not win this game to stay alive but I think they can cover the spread here with a great defensive effort and keep this game close enough to still give themselves a chance to win it. The Celtics are also a bit banged up for this game and I think that will help the Heat put up more points on them to stay close in this game. The Heat are going to be desperate here facing elimination and I expect them to bring everything they have here. They are still the 1st seed in the East and they aren't going to go down here without a fight. This game is too important for them to just give up and get blown out by 20+ points so I expect to see their best effort here from the Heat. Defense was what they leaned on all year with incredible defensive play and I expect that defensive effort to show up here and keep them in this game. I like the Heat to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 95-91 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The series here is all tied up at 2 and the Heat have been alternating between wins and losses in this series. They just lost their most recent game and didn't look great in that game but each game of this series has been so lopsided and I think this will be a game that the Heat dominate and win in here on their home court. They have looked great in their home games this postseason, they did lose on their home court earlier this series in the 2nd game but that was their 1st home loss this postseason and I think they are going to bounce back after their previous game and put up a dominant performance here. The Heat have also never trailed once in a series in this postseason and I think that is going to continue here with the Heat taking a series lead on their home court here. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found in their previous game and really, none of the players on their starting rotation put a good effort in that game since they were all shut down by the Celtics. I don't think that will happen again here though and I expect Butler to have a much better game here. Lowry has also been contributing in their games with a good defensive effort since coming back but this will also be his 1st game back on home court and I think he is going to have a big game defensively here while his teammates take care of the offense. The Celtics got through the Nets easily in the 1st round but they had a big challenge in the 2nd round kicking out the defending champs and it took them 7 games to do so. I think they are going to start feeling the exhaustion from that series the deeper we get into this one and I expect a good effort from the Heat on their home court here to win this game and take the series lead. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-95 Heat. |

T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors have taken a 3-0 lead in the series and they have already pushed the Mavericks to the brink of elimination here. The Warriors were favored for the 1st 2 games of this series and they won both of those games handedly, winning both by 9+ points. They were a dog in their most recent game though, the game in Dallas, and they still won that game by 9 points. The Warriors are a dog again in this game but I don't see this game going any different than the rest of the series has gone. The Warriors have looked dominant in every game this series and I think they are going to dominate this game too. The previous game was also in Dallas but the Mavericks were never once in control of that game and I think now that they are on the brink of elimination, I expect the warriors to come with their best effort here to close out the series. Luka still had a big game in their most recent game and he got some help from Brunson and Dinwiddie too but it wasn't enough to beat the Warriors and they were on their own home court. I think the Warriors are just too strong for the Mavericks and they have their sights set on the Championship after a few write off seasons that they had to go through. This is not the same Warriors team that held the dynasty for so many years a few years ago but they are still really good and I see them sweeping the Mavericks here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-109 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Sunday. The Mavericks are down 2-0 in the series but they could've easily had this series tied up in game 2 and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They looked really good for a majority of that 2nd game with the Warriors, leading by 20+ points early in that game but it started to fall apart for them in the 2nd half. The Mavs still came out with a really strong effort in that game and I think they will do the same here. I also think they will be able to hang on to any lead they get here on their home court and I expect them to get the win making this series 2-1. The Warriors have won 3 games in a row now but all of those have been on their home court and the last time they played a road game in this postseason was a loss to the Grizzlies in Memphis. Even the Warriors have struggled in their road games in this postseason and every loss they have suffered so far came in road games. The Mavericks did a good job of shutting down the Warriors in the 1st half on their own floor but I expect the Mavericks to do that again and keep it up this time while feeding off the energy from the crowd. I think Luka and Brunson are both going to have another big game to lead the team to a win here and I expect them both to have a better 2nd half too. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread in this game and get 1 back in the series here. T.M. Prediction: 114-107 Mavericks. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Heat didn't look good in their most recent game, losing the 2nd game of this series by 20+ points on their home court. I think they are a bit embarrassed by that performance and I expect them to give a much better effort in this game. Marcus Smart returned for the Celtics in the previous game and he made a big difference for them since the Celtics dominated on defense but I think the Heat will bounce back here and they should get some extra help with Kyle Lowry likely returning to the starting rotation for this game. The Heat still looked really good in the 1st game of this series and they haven't been terrible in their road games this postseason either. I think with Lowry back here, the Heat will be much better both offensively and defensively but even if he doesn't make it into the lineup tonight, I still think the Heat are going to try and bounce back here with a strong defensive effort in this road game. The Celtics have been really up and down this postseason, either blowing teams out in their wins or getting blown out in their losses. The Heat have been a lot better in that sense since they have lost a few close games, not getting blown out all the time, and they have won a few road games already so I like their chances of keeping this game close with good defense and covering the spread here. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Friday. The Warriors looked really good in the 1st game of this series. They dominated the Mavericks right from the beginning of that game, taking a 10+ point lead by the end of the 1st quarter and hanging on to that lead, outscoring the Mavericks in 3/4 of the quarters in that game. I think the Warriors are hungry for another title this year after the way things have gone for them over the past few years with injury and I don't think they are going to waste this opportunity now that they are so close. They have looked great on their home court in this postseason and I see them having another strong start in this game, dominating it from the beginning again. The Mavericks didn't even put up 100+ points in the 1st game and that has been a bit of a common theme for them in the postseason now. They had 2/3 of their road games in their 1st series against the Jazz where they didn't put up 100+ points and now they have failed to even put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 road games. I think the Mavericks are going to struggle in this road game yet again and I expect another great defensive effort from the Warriors here. The Warriors are dangerous because they have great defensive players on their team but they also shoot the 3 really well and I think the Warriors will put the Mavericks in a hole again with that great defense and then extend the gap with their ability from the arc. I see this being another dominant effort from the warriors on their home court here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 116-92 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Tuesday. The Celtics didn't look that great in their previous series in a lot of those games. They eliminated the defending champions in 7 games but they were trailing 3 different times in that series and had to really step up on their home court in that last game of the series. They looked really good in that previous game but I think they are going to be met with better defense in this series and the Heat have looked great on their home court all year. The Heat looked really good in their previous series, only needing 6 games to eliminate the 76ers and they never trailed once in that series. The Heat haven't trailed in a series once in this entire postseason and they have really been taking advantage of their home games, taking a 2-0 lead in every series they've played. I think the Heat are going to continue that here and win this game on their home court with a great defensive effort. They have looked great on defense in both of their series and they have looked great on defense all year. The Heat have some banged up players here too but they have been playing through those injuries in these games and have still looked great. I expect them to shut down the Celtics here and I see Jimmy Butler having a big game here on their home court. The Heat were 1st place in the East for a reason and they have shown their defensive dominance in this postseason so far. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-97 Heat. |

T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks looked really good in their most recent game against the Suns and I think they are going to put up another great performance in this game. The Mavericks have looked good in a majority of their road games in these playoffs but this has also been a very home dominated series. The Mavericks still put up a good fight back in the 1st game and I think with this being game 7 in the series, they are going to put everything on the line here to try and win this game but I think they will at least keep it close even if they do lose. Doncic had a great game in their previous game and I think he is going to continue that performance into this game and carry his team here. They also did a really good job on defense to contain Booker and Paul in that game and I think they will give the same defensive effort in this game to try and keep it close. All of the games in this series have been dominated by the home team and in most cases, the home team has won every game by 10+ points. I think this game will be a lot different because it is game 7 and I expect a big defensive effort from both teams since that is what will win this game for either side. I don't know if the Mavericks are going to pull this game out here but all the pressure is on the Suns here to win since they finished the regular season with the best record and even broke franchise records themselves, but the pressure is on and I think the Mavericks can keep this game really competitive right up to the end. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Suns. |

T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Friday. The Celtics have looked good in their games lately and I think they are going to take this road game back and even up the series at 3. The Celtics have actually looked better in their road games than in their home games in this postseason, with their biggest loss of this series coming on their home court. They had a really impressive win in Milwaukee and they also lost a very close game there by 2 points. They just lost their previous game on their home court but that loss was by 3 points and they looked really good for most of that game too, dominating up until the 4th quarter where they let it slip away near the end. The Celtics have still shown that they aren't going to be slowed down in their road games and even in their previous series against the Nets, they won all 4 games but the games were much closer on their home court in that series while they dominated the road games in Brooklyn. The 1st 2 games in this series were complete blowouts, 1 by each team, but the 3 most recent games and have been much closer and really, both teams had a chance to win all of those games. I think the Celtics are going to show their strength here once again and I expect a great defensive effort from them in this game. The Bucks are also dealing with a thin rotation and I expect all those injuries to catch up to them at some point too. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here and even up this series 3-3. T.M. Prediction: 104-99 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Thursday. The Heat lead this series 3-2 but the home team has won every game of the series so far, and I think this game is going to be no different than the others. None of these games have really been close with the home team blowing out the road team in every game and I think that will continue here with a 76ers win on their home court, extending this series to 7 games. Joel Embiid got banged up even more in their previous game but he will be playing here and I expect him to make the same impact he has been making for his team in their home games here. Kyle Lowry missed the previous game and he will be missing this game too which I think will help the 76ers control the pace of the game a bit better. In 3/5 of these games in this series, the road team hasn't even put up 100+ points and it seems that whoever the home team is at the time, tends to play better defense on their home court. The 76ers are facing elimination in this game knowing they still need to take a road game in the series if they want to win it but their focus will be on winning this home game and I expect players like Embiid and Harden to step up here and give their team the best chance to win this game and extend the series. The Heat have looked great on defense in their home games and that is really how they have been winning their games in this series, with a good defensive effort. Jimmy Butler hasn't even been doing a lot on offense in their home games and he isn't getting a lot of contribution from his teammates either. I think this is going to be another game where the defensive effort dominates and I expect the 76ers to be much better on their home court and shut the Heat down here. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-98 76ers. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Tuesday. The 76ers just evened up the series 2-2 and so far, this has been a very home dominated series with the home team winning all 4 games, and I think the result here will be the same. The home team has been so dominant in this series that each win has been by 10+ points except for the most recent game which was only an 8 point win for the 76ers. The offense looked a lot better for the Heat in that game than they did in the 3rd game and I think the Heat will play much better in this home game. Embiid was missing for the 1st 2 games of this series but the Heat still won those home games by almost 20+ points and even though I think he will make an impact here, I still think that Butler will guide his team to victory on their home court after the performance he just put up in their previous road game. While Embiid missed the 1st 2 games of this series, Lowry missed them too for the Heat and now that he has been back for 2 road games with the team, I'm expecting him to get back into his groove here and have a much bigger impact on their home court here. I think the Heat look a lot better on the defensive end in their games too and I expect their home defense to be a big part of this game. I think the home team is going to dominate another game in this series and I see the Heat taking a 3-2 series lead here. I like the Heat to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 109-101 Heat. |

T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Monday. The Grizzlies looked good in the 1st 2 games of this series but they just lost their most recent game by 30 points to the Warriors in their 1st road game of the series. Ja Morant got hurt in that game and he will not be in the lineup for this game but the Grizzlies had a very good record during the regular season without Ja Morant in the lineup and I think they can bounce back here and put up a much better performance to keep this game closer at least. Ja Morant led the team in scoring in their previous game but it didn't do them any good since they lost by 30 points and he didn't really get a lot of offensive contribution from his teammates either. I think with his presence gone in this game, his team will step up here and play some good team ball, hitting the Warriors with a new strategy and style of play that they wouldn't have seen in the 1st 3 games. I think this Morant injury will give them a bit of an advantage here since they were still really good during the season without him and their new approach to this game could throw the Warriors off too since they will have to adjust to defending them. The Grizzlies finished as the 2nd seed for a reason and I don't think they are just going to give up here, especially after that embarrassment in the previous game. I expect them to come back stronger in this game and I think they will keep it close enough with even a chance to still win the game. I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-109 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Monday. The Celtics are down 2-1 in the series here and they didn't look great in the 1st game but I think they have bounced back nicely in their previous 2 games and I think they can get the win here to even up the series. They came back in the 2nd game and destroyed the Bucks on their home court after an embarrassing performance in the 1st game and they even looked really good in the 3rd game which they lost in Milwaukee but only by 2 points. The Bucks have also been banged up with some players missing from their starting rotation and Giannis really had to carry them in the previous game with 40+ points. Jaylen Brown looked really good in that game too but Tatum didn't get too involved and they still almost won that game. I think both Tatum and Brown are going to have a much bigger impact in this game and I expect them to take advantage of a weakened Bucks rotation here and steal a road win back since they will need to in order to win the series now. I see the rest of these games in the series being really close like the previous game and I think this will be a game that falls in favor of the Celtics with all of the injuries to the Bucks at the moment. I think they are going to feel the loss of Middleton in this game and it will slowly eat away at the Bucks with Giannis needing to do more and more in each game. I think this is a good opportunity for the Celtics to steal a road game back here and even up the series. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-101 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns. I like the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. The Mavericks finally got a win in this series, taking the 3rd game on their home court by 9 points but I think the Suns are going to bounce back in this game and take a 3-1 series lead here. Both Paul and Booker weren't too involved in the scoring last time but I think they will both have a better game here and I expect them to lead the Suns to a win in Dallas here. The Suns were very dominant on offense in the 1st 2 games of this series and they only put up 94 points in the 3rd game but their defensive effort was still really good in that game and I think they will win this game with that great effort on defense. Doncic didn't have to do as much in that 3rd game as he did in the 1st 2 since Brunson led the team in scoring and had a very nice game, finally contributing to the offense after being quiet in the 1st 2 games. I think the Suns will try to shut him down on the defensive end though and if they can take him out of this game too, it will be really difficult for the Mavericks to win here with just Doncic carrying the team again. I expect to see some adjustments on defense from the Suns here and I see them bouncing back here and winning this game. I like the Suns to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 102-96 Suns. |

T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Saturday. The Celtics looked a lot better in the 2nd game of this series, evening it up at 1-1 with a win by 10+ points on their home court. Tatum and Brown both looked great as they led the team in that game and the defensive effort was great too since they were able to contain Giannis and didn't really let the other players on the Bucks contribute to the offense a lot. I think the Celtics are going to play with another great defensive effort here since this game will be a road game in a hostile environment and in the 1st round they actually looked better in their 2 road games. They swept the Nets in 4 games but the 2 games that the Nets were closest to winning were the 2 games in Boston. Once the series got back to Brooklyn, the Celtics really dominated and were in control of both games, taking early leads and never giving them away. I think the Celtics are going to do the same here and try to jump out to an early lead and then sustain that lead with a great defensive effort. The Bucks looked great in their last series too, winning that 4-1 but they actually played better in their road games too. The 1 game they lost to the Bulls was a home game and the 2 wins they got in road games in that series were by much larger margins than their home wins. I think Boston had a bad game in the 1st of this series but now that they have bounced back in their most recent game, I expect them to turn the jets on here and dominate this game. They know they have to steal a road game back now to win the series and I think this is a game they can win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Wednesday. The 76ers lost the 1st game of this series by 10+ points and they were really out of it right from the start, they did make a comeback in the 2nd quarter but by the time that game got deep into the 2nd half, it was over for the 76ers. I think they will bounce back with a much better game here, they probably still won't win the game but I think they can keep it a lot closer than this spread is suggesting. The 76ers are still going to be without Embiid for most of the playoffs and that is a huge blow for them since he is the heart of their team but I think Harden can pick up a lot of that slack and I expect him to have a better game here. They already know from the 1st game how the Heat are going to approach this series and I think they will make some good adjustments here with Harden picking his game up and carrying the team in this game. The Heat are also banged up here, a majority of their guys will likely play but a lot of them will be playing with injuries and I think this is a good opportunity for the 76ers to pounce on them and try to take a game back here. Jimmy Butler wasn't even that great in their previous game and if he has to do more in this game I think he will get shut down by the 76ers. This is a game where Harden needs to shine for the 76ers and I think he is going answer the call here by taking over this game. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Heat. |

05-02-22 | Mavs +6 v. Suns | 114-121 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Monday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately and they were great in their previous series. They eliminated the Jazz in 6 games and they only lost 1/5 of their previous 5 games after dropping the 1st game on their home court. They won 4/5 of their previous 5 games and 2 of those wins were in road games too. They have turned it up a notch with their defensive play in their 2 most recent games, holding the Jazz to less than 100 points in both of their previous 2 games. They haven't been winning their games with offense and I think they will play with a high intensity on defense in this game to set the tone for the series. The Mavericks need to steal at least 1 road game in this series to win it and I think they can come in here game 1 and catch the Suns by surprise with a gritty and defensive game. The Suns just beat the Pelicans in 6 games in their previous series but they didn't look that great in that series. They had a much weaker opposing team to play than the Mavericks had and the Suns still struggled against them. That series could have ended very differently if Booker didn't make his return in their most recent game but I think they are going to have a more difficult time trying to score on the Mavericks in this series. The Suns play good defense in their games too but I think the Mavericks can at least keep this game close if they don't win and with how good the defenses have looked on both teams, I think it will probably be a closer game the entire time. I think the Mavericks can win this game outright but I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-102 Mavericks. |

T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Sunday. The Celtics have looked great in their games lately, sweeping the Nets in the 1st round and they looked like they were getting better as the series went on. The 1st 2 games in Boston were the closest games in that series because when Boston went into Brooklyn they dominated in both of those games and never really gave up the lead in those games. They are going to be on their home court here where they have looked great all year and I think they are going to crush the Bucks in this game. The Celtics stick out as 1 of the better teams in the East and they might be the best going into this round because of their defensive effort in every game they play. They have looked great on defense in their games and that was a big reason why they were able to sweep the Nets in the last round, their defense suffocated the Durant and Irving to the point where they never really had clear shots to make. The Celtics also look great on offense and they are 1 of the few teams in the league that isn't too star driven and they actually play as a team. I think the Bucks are going to struggle to keep up in this game, especially with Middleton out and if they fall behind it will be very difficult for them to come back with the defensive effort that the Celtics exert in their games. The Celtics will also take Giannis out of the game with their great defensive play and the Bucks don't have as many options as the Celtics do for scoring since they are a team that is really centered around Giannis. The Bucks were putting up a ton of points against the Bulls in their previous series but I think they aren't going to do that here on this defense and i expect them to have their offense suffocated in these games too. I think the Celtics are a lot better on both the offensive and the defensive end. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 110-102 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Friday. The Timberwolves have lost 3/4 of their previous 4 games in this series but they haven't looked bad in their games and this series has been a very close one in a lot of the games. The Grizzlies took the most recent game on their home court but only by 2 points and the game before that was won by the T-Wolves but again, only by 1 point. The 1st 3 games were not even close at all but the 2 most recent games have been settled by 1 point and I think the series will remain like this to the end now that both teams have settled in. I think the T-Wolves have a good advantage being on their home court here and Towns should have a much better game here too. He looked a lot better in their previous game despite them losing and I think he is going to make a huge impact in this game to even up the series. The Grizzlies are also going to be without Steven Adams in this game and I think that is going to be a huge loss for them too. I expect the Timberwolves to play their best game here with their backs against the wall and I think they can force a game 7 here since the last 2 games were so close they could have easily been eliminated already or playing to eliminate the Grizzlies here. They are even getting a point on their home court here and even if they do lose this game, it won't be by much just like their previous loss. I think the Timberwolves can win this game though so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-115 Timberwolves. |

04-28-22 | 76ers v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 132-97 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Thursday. The Raptors were down 3-0 in this series at one point but the series is 3-2 now and they have made their way back in it after stealing a road game from the 76ers in their most recent game. The Raptors went into Philly in game 5 and they didn't just win that game, they dominated it. They jumped out to a very early lead and they never really looked back, hanging onto that lead for the entire game and even growing it more with the final score being a win by 15 points. They held the 76ers to 88 points on their own floor and their defensive effort was great in that game. I think they are going to have the same defensive intensity that they have had in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to shut down the offense of the 76ers. The Raptors even beat the 76ers in Philly without VanVleet in the lineup and I think they can repeat it here on their home court. Embiid hasn't been the same player in this series since sustaining his thumb injury and Harden has been called out by Embiid for not picking up the slack in their games. I think Harden still feels uncomfortable playing his game on the court with the 76ers and I think that is going to be their downfall in this game. The crowd is going to be energized for this game too and I think the Raptors will be able to feed off of that all night. I think this series is getting tied up here and going back to Philly for game 7. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-99 Raptors. |

04-27-22 | Nuggets v. Warriors -8 | Top | 98-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors just lost their most recent game to the Nuggets, dropping their 1st game in this series but they are back on their home court here and I think they can close out the series here. The Warriors were able to take 1 of the games in Denver in this series and it was a really close game with the Warriors only winning by 5 points but the 1st 2 games that were back at home for the Warriors were not even close games at all. The Warriors won both of those games by 15+ points and I think this game is lining up for another 10+ point win over the Nuggets here. The Warriors lost their previous game in this series but they didn't look bad at all in that game and they were still on fire despite losing. Curry has had a huge impact in every game and the previous game was the 1st in this series that both he and Thompson each put up 30+ points in the game. They have looked great in all of their games lately and I think they are only going to get better throughout the postseason now that they are hot. Nikola Jokic also looked great in that game almost posting 40+ points himself but he only had 2 other teammates with 20+ points in that game and only 5 of their players even hit 10+ points at all. That isn't going to enough to beat the Warriors and their task just got a whole lot taller with this game being a road game for them. I think the Warriors are going to overpower the Nuggets here taking the game over and I expect the Nuggets to fizzle out of the postseason here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 124-108 Warriors. |

04-26-22 | Hawks +7 v. Heat | 94-97 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Atlanta Hawks. I like the Atlanta Hawks to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Tuesday. The Hawks haven't looked that great in this series only taking the 1 game and now they are on the brink of elimination but I think they won't go down without a fight and I expect them to keep this a close game even if they lose in the end. The Heat were missing Lowry in the previous game and they still walked all over the Hawks in that game. Trae Young barely had any offensive contribution with only 9 points in that game but I think he will play a lot better here and I expect the players around him to follow suit. The Hawks live off the 3 pointer in their games and they haven't been shooting terribly in their games lately, their shooting has actually been really good especially from the arc. The Heat have been playing a good game on defense to shut down the Hawks in this series but their strategy will only work for so long until the Hawks start to counter it and I think they will have a much better game plan here. I think the Heat are going to start to feel the absence of Lowry in this game and I expect the Hawks to get more open for shots in this game since their shooting has been really good in these games. I think the Hawks are finally going to breakout on offense in this game and I'm expecting a big performance from Young and company here. I don't see the Hawks exiting the playoffs so easily in a blowout loss here. I like the Hawks to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-114 Heat. |

04-25-22 | Celtics v. Nets -1 | 116-112 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Monday. The Nets are down 3-0 in the series to the Celtics but they have had plenty of opportunity to take a game in this series. They only lost the 1st game by 1 point and they blew a big lead in the 2nd game losing that game too. Their most recent game was the game that they were trailing in from the start and had to come back but they still had a chance to win that game when they did come back and I don't see the Nets getting swept on their home court here. They still have a lot of talent between Durant and Irving and they have already been really close in all of these games. I think the Nets are finally going to win a game in this series here and will send this back to Boston for at least 1 more game in the series. The Celtics have looked really good in all 3 games but they haven't dominated the Nets for an entire game and even when they are winning they have had to battle hard to keep the Nets from coming back. I think Durant and Irving are too good to get swept in the 1st series here and I expect them to win at least 1 game, with the perfect opportunity here on their home court. Both Durant and Irving were quiet in the previous game but I expect them both to step up here and play their best game of the year when faced with elimination. I think the Nets will win this game and I like the to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Nets. |

04-24-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +2.5 | 103-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Sunday. The Suns have a 2-1 lead in the series after a really slim win over the Pelicans in their previous game, only winning that game by 3 points in New Orleans. The Pelicans already stole the game in Phoenix before that previous loss and I think they can even up the series here on their home court, sending it back to Phoenix tied 2-2. Booker is still out for the Suns and they haven't looked great in their games without him. They lost the game that he left in with the injury and then they only won by 3 points in their road game without him but I think they are going to fall in this game since Chris Paul has had to pick up the slack and I don't think he is enough to carry this team without someone helping on offense the way Booker impacts the floor. The Pelicans were already on a bit of a roll at the end of the regular season and they won 2 games in a row to get to this series through the play-in tournament. They looked really bad in the 1st game but they have looked a lot better in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to put up a really good fight on their home court here. I think the Suns are in a very vulnerable position without Booker in their rotation and I expect the Pelicans to take advantage here. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-106 Pelicans. |

04-24-22 | Warriors -4 v. Nuggets | 121-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 60 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Sunday. I think the Warriors have looked really good in this series against the Nuggets so far. The Warriors have taken a commanding 3-0 lead in the series and I think they are going to complete the sweep in this game. The home games for the Warriors were not even close with Golden State winning both of the 1st 2 games by 10+ points. They won their most recent game by 5 points in Denver to take a 3-0 lead but the amazing thing is that Steph Curry has not even been in the top 3 on his team for minutes played in the 1st 3 games of this series. Curry has still been dominating in the games though and if they find themselves down early, I expect Curry to get a lot more time in the game and bring them back. I think the Warriors will be motivated to get the sweep here so they can show the league that they are indeed back after all those years and I also think it will be good for them to get some rest before the next round since they have been dealing with injuries to multiple key players all year. The Nuggets haven't looked good lately but they were starting to diminish a bit coming into the playoffs. They had lost 2/3 of their final 3 games of the regular season and have now lost 4 in a row to make it just 1 win in their previous 6 games. Nikola Jokic has still looked great in these games but he doesn't get a lot of offensive contribution from the other players on his team and I don't think he is enough to beat a team like the warriors. I think the Warriors are going to win this game and cover the spread here, closing out the series with the Nuggets. I like the Warriors to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 121-113 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves. I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Saturday. The Timberwolves have lost 2 games in a row now, including their most recent game on their own home court, but I think they will bounce back in this game and even up the series before going back to Memphis for the next game. Karl-Anthony Towns has had 2 bad games in a row now and I don't think he is going to have a 3rd. He is a big reason why they lost those 2 games after having a great game in the 1st of the series. I think he will bounce back here and have a much better game, I expect him to step up here and carry his team on their home court. The Timberwolves are a very good team but they need Towns playing at his best so everything else can fall into place. They aren't going to want to go back to Memphis down 3-1 in the series and I think they can get the win on their home court here since they have looked great there all year. The Timberwolves outplayed the Grizzlies in the 1st game and just kept putting up points in that game to hold off the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies don't look that great on defense still so as long as the Timberwolves can get back to putting up all that offense like they did in the 1st game, they are going to give the Grizzlies trouble. They also just blew 2 different 20+ point leads in their previous game and I think they will try to make sure that doesn't happen again here. I expect a much better effort from Towns and the Timberwolves here, I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 126-124 Timberwolves. |

T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Nets have lost 2 games in a row now going down 2-0 in this series but they haven't looked bad in their games either. They were really close to winning the 1st game but lost by 1 point on a very nice play by the Celtics to end the game with a buzzer beater. The 2nd game they were even closer to winning as they maintained a 10+ point lead for a good majority of that game but blew it late and ended up losing the game. The Nets haven't been great on their home court this year but they also played a majority of their home games with no Kyrie Irving and now that he is allowed to play on their home court once again, I think they are going to look a lot better here and I expect them to steal a game back from the Celtics here. The Nets still looked great in those 2 games and they were in both of them with a chance to win all game. I think they can finally get a win here and I expect Durant and Irving to have another huge night on offense, but also with their defensive effort too. Irving wasn't too involved in their most recent game but I think he will have more offensive contribution in this game and I expect him and Durant to lead this team to a victory here. I like the Nets to cover the spread here and cut the series lead in half. T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Nets. |

04-22-22 | Bucks v. Bulls +3 | 111-81 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls. I like the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Friday. The Bulls have looked good in the 1st 2 games of this series. They lost a hard fought game in the 1st game by 7 points but their defensive effort was there and they didn't even give up 95+ to the Bucks in that game. They ended up winning the 2nd game by 4 points, stealing game from the Bucks on their home court, and I think they are going to have another great game here. The Bulls are back on their home court here and I think that they will be too much for the Bucks to handle with Middleton out in this game. DeMar DeRozan just had a huge game in their most recent game, putting up 40+ points and I think he is going to have another huge game on their home court here. I also expect him to get a lot of offensive contribution from others like Vucevic and LaVine who both had 20+ points in that previous game too. I think with all of the absences for the Bucks, they are going to struggle to defend the Bulls in this game and with DeRozan playing so well lately, I expect him to lead his team to a victory here. I see the Bulls coming out stronger on offense in this game and I think the Bulls will try to get out to an early lead here, making it difficult on the Bucks to come back in the game. I like the Bulls to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 108-102 Bulls. |

04-21-22 | Mavs v. Jazz -6.5 | 126-118 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 38 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Utah Jazz. I like the Utah Jazz to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Thursday. The Jazz have looked really good in their games lately, already stealing a game in the series in Dallas and they could have stolen both games but they gave up their lead late and ended up losing by 6 points. The Jazz still looked really good in both of those games and I think they will take control of the series now being back on their home court here. Luka Doncic is still questionable to play here but even if he does I think the Jazz will be too much for them to handle in this game. Most of the offense for the Jazz has been coming from Mitchell and Bogdanovic but I expect more offensive contribution from players like Conley in this game who didn't score a single point in their previous game. I also expect them to shut down the Mavs a lot better on their home court here. Jalen Brunson carried the team in their most recent game with 40+ points but I think the Jazz will do a better job defending him here and I expect that to be the difference in this game. The Jazz have looked really good in their home games all year at 29-12 and I expect them to dominate the Mavericks on their home floor for this entire game. I like the Jazz to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-99 Jazz. |

T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The Celtics took the 1st game of this series but they only won that 1st game by 1 point and that game literally came down to the final play to decide a winner. This is going to be a close and physical series and I think the Nets can bounce back in this game. The Nets have looked good in their games lately, they still needed to win games to the very end of the regular season and they ended winning 5 games in a row before losing that 1st game in the series. Kyrie Irving had a really good game and I expect him to do the same in this game but Kevin Durant was really being covered by a lot of double and sometimes even triple teams but I expect him to have something to counter that in this game and I see him getting more involved in their offense in this game. Durant has also been really good with his defensive effort since the playoffs have started and I think he will try to match the defensive intensity of the Celtics here. Even Irving seems to be playing a lot better the more the fans get on his case and if he continues to play like that here with that same chip on his shoulder, the Nets are going to be very tough to stop even when the Celtics are at home. The Celtics have also looked really good lately and they were really hot going into the playoffs but the 1st game was already a really close game that the Nets almost won and really should have won with the chances they had to seal that game late. Still, they only lost by 1 point and if they lose again here it will probably be the same really close game but I think the Nets can bounce back and get a win here to even the series. I like the Nets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-115 Nets. |

T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Monday. The Raptors looked terrible in the 1st game of this series, they lost that game by 20 points and they were pretty much outplayed the entire game by the 76ers and their physicality. Now that the Raptors know what to expect from the 76ers here and how they are going to play, I expect them to play a lot more physical to match the 76ers here and I think they can keep this game a lot closer. I also expect the Raptors to be upset in this game since Joel Embiid took out 2 of their players in that game, including their rookie Scottie Barnes on 2 separate occasions in that game, once in the eye and another his ankle, and he was having a really good night too. I expect Siakam and VanVleet to step up and play a lot better here, carrying the team in this game. VanVleet also racked up a lot of early fouls in game 1 and I expect him to be a lot smarter here with his defensive effort. The Raptors won't want to get embarrassed again like they did in that 1st game and I see them turning up their defensive effort and intensity in this game to give themselves a better chance. They were beaten physically in that game and now that they know what they are dealing with they will come to play here and match their physicality in this game. The Raptors have given the 76ers fits all year and they aren't just going to die in this series after 1 game. I like the Raptors to bounce back here and cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 124-119 76ers. |

T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Toronto Raptors in this game on Saturday. The 76ers have looked good in their games lately and I think they can carry over that momentum into this series, winning this 1st game. They won 2 games in a row to end the regular season but they have also won 5/6 of their previous 6 games and that 1 loss was against the Raptors in a road game. The 76ers are on their home court to start this series and I think they will be looking for some revenge in this game. Their 2 most recent wins both came by 10+ points and they were resting Embiid in their final game of the season too. He has looked really good in the games he has been playing in though and I think he is going to help lead his team to a huge win over the Raptors and I also expect Harden to have a big night now that the playoffs have arrived. The Raptors have also looked good in their games lately, they did win 3 games in a row but lost in their most recent game to the Knicks after resting a majority of their starters in that game. They still didn't look good in that game though and I think the 76ers have a deeper bench that will help them stay ahead in this game. The Raptors a good team with their starting rotation but their bench is not as deep as it used to be in years and I think that is going to be the difference for them here in this road game. Fred VanVleet has also been banged up lately and even if he returns for this game, he has still missed their 3 most recent games and he didn't have a huge impact in the few games he played before going out with an injury. I like the 76ers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 76ers. |

T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately and I think they can continue on their run into the playoffs here winning this 1st game of the series. They have won 4 games in a row now and they even won 7/8 of their final 8 games of the regular season when they had already pretty much locked up a spot in the playoffs. They have been putting up a ton of points in their games too and I expect them to have a huge game on the offensive end. They have put up 125+ points in 3 games in a row now and I think they are going to be a handful for the Jazz on their home court here. The Mavericks have looked even better on their home court in their games lately, they have won 6 home games in a row now and have won all of those games by 10+ points, including a home win over the Jazz during that time. The Jazz haven't looked great lately and I think their issues are going to pop up in this game with it being in such a hostile environment for them. Luka Doncic is going to miss this game which does give a bit of a blow to the Mavericks here but they have been getting on fine without him lately and there is also a chance that Donovan Mitchell is going to miss this game for the Jazz. He is questionable with an illness but even if he plays he might not be at his best and the team really struggles when he's out of the rotation. I think the Mavericks are going to hold up fine in this game on their home court and I think they can even pull off a huge win on their home court here. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 112-107 Mavericks. |

04-12-22 | Clippers +3 v. Wolves | 104-109 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers. I like the LA Clippers to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Tuesday. The Clippers have looked good in their games lately and I think they can win this game outright with how good they have looked lately. They have won 5 games in a row now and they picked the right time to start getting hot with this play-in tournament coming up. They have looked really good in those games winning a majority of them by 10+ points and I think they have a good chance of winning this game. The Timberwolves haven't been great lately and have looked really shaky in these final games of the regular season. They only have 1 win in their previous 3 games and they barely won that game on their home court by 6 points. Paul George returned to the Clippers rotation not too long ago and he has looked good in his games so far. I think he is going to play a big role in this game and I expect the Clippers to play with more of a defensive effort here. They ended the year off strong and didn't give up 100+ points in their 2 most recent games. I think they are going to carry over that same defensive intensity in this game and I expect them to stunt the Timberwolves on offense here who will want to just keep putting up points. The Timberwolves have looked really good on offense lately but their defense has been terrible giving up a lot of points in their games. I think their defensive effort is going to be the difference this game. I like the Clippers to cover the spread here. T.M. Selection: 107-103 Clippers. |

04-10-22 | Celtics -2 v. Grizzlies | 139-110 | Win | 100 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Sunday. This is the final game of the regular season for both of these teams and both have already clinched their spot in the postseason this year but this game has a bit more importance for the Celtics here. The Grizzlies have already cemented their spot in 2nd place in the West and no one will be taking that spot from them but the East is still very close and this 1 game could shake up the current seeding going into the playoffs. I think the Celtics have incentive to win this game still since they can move up in the standings only 1 game behind the Bucks and they are also tied with the 76ers so a loss could actually mean dropping a spot. Ja Morant has been out for the Grizzlies over their past few games, he is healthy and ready to return but the Grizzlies should really be resting some of their star players getting them ready for the playoffs, especially the ones that have been hurt lately. The Celtics have been hot lately with 3 wins in a row but they just lost their most recent game to the Bucks which was a big loss for them considering the standings and I think they will try to bounce back here. The Grizzlies haven't looked that great lately losing 2 wins in a row before winning in their most recent game which was also the return of Ja Morant. They destroyed the Pelicans in that game by 20+ points putting up 140+ points themselves but they are also on a B2B here while the Celtics haven't played since Thursday and I think the Grizzlies are going to be tired here. I expect their stars to get less minutes in this game considering their spot in the standings and the B2B they are playing on so I like the rested Celtics to come in and end their season off with a win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Celtics. |

04-09-22 | Kings v. Clippers -11 | Top | 98-117 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers. I like the LA Clippers to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Saturday. The Clippers have looked good in their games lately and they are getting very hot right as the playoffs are about to begin. They have won 3 games in a row and a majority of those wins were by 10+ points. They just a won a home game against the Suns and they also have wins over the Pelicans by 19 and the Bucks by 30+ points in a road game where they scored 150+ points. The Clippers still have 2 games left but they have already guaranteed themselves a game in the play-in tournament against the T-Wolves. I think the Clippers are going to have another great game on their home court here and I think they are going to use this game to stay hot going into the playoffs. The Kings haven't looked great lately so this game will be a great momentum booster if they can continue to win and launch themselves into the play-in tournament on a winning run. The 3 most recent losses for the Kings were all by 14+ points and the only 2 wins they have in between are both wins over the Rockets who are poised to finish as the worst team in the West. Paul George already missed a lot of the season due to injury so I expect them to play him in this game and a good amount of minutes too so he can get warmed up and get into his groove for the important games. I like the Clippers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 123-100 Clippers. |

04-08-22 | Blazers +18.5 v. Mavs | 78-128 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Friday. The Trail Blazers have lost 9 games in a row now and they haven't looked good lately at all. They only have 2 games left before their year is over and I think they are going to try to go out on the right foot with a win in 1 of these final 2 games. I don't think they will actually get another win before the regular season is up but I think they can keep this game close enough to cover the spread in it. The Mavericks have looked good lately with 2 wins in a row and they have only lost 1 time in their previous 6 games too. They have already secured their spot in the playoffs and are only playing for seeding at the moment but they are better off using this game to rest some players and considering how bad the Trail Blazers have been lately, I can see the Mavericks resting their players here once they take a lead here and I expect to get a backdoor cover from the Trail Blazers if they aren't hanging in the game from the start like I think they will. I think the Mavericks aren't going to take them seriously in this game and I see there being opportunity here for the Trail Blazers to keep this game within the spread. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-113 Mavericks. |

04-07-22 | Blazers +17 v. Pelicans | 94-127 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Thursday. The Trail Blazers have looked terrible down this final stretch of the regular season but they looked a lot better in their most recent game only losing by 4 points. They just played the Pelicans over a week ago and they lost that game but only by 10 points. The Trail Blazers are pretty much done for the year and they have even shut down most of their rotation for these final games. They still have a lot of young players on the court that have something to prove and I think they will be leaving everything on the court here in these final games of the regular season. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 4/5 of their previous 5 games but they aren't really the kind of team that has been blowing out their opposing teams and I don't think they are going to that in this game either. The Pelicans have already clinched a spot in the play-in games and with the number of games left in the regular season, they can only finish in 9th or 10th place and either way they would be playing the same team so the seeding really means nothing for them at this point. They are better off resting a majority of their rotation for most of this game and I think they will leave opportunity for the Trail Blazers to hang in there. The Trail Blazers may not be winning a lot of games but they still have players on the court who are giving their best effort every night and i think this is a good spot for them to at least keep this game close. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-102 Pelicans. |

04-07-22 | Celtics +6 v. Bucks | 121-127 | Push | 0 | 12 h 5 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Thursday. The Celtics have looked great in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here in this game. They have won 3 games in a row and their 2 most recent wins were both by 10+ points but they have also been putting up a ton of points in these games. They have put up 117+ points in all 3 of their wins, with 2 of those games seeing them put up 125+ points. They have also been giving a great defensive effort lately and have not given up 105+ points in their 2 most recent games. The Celtics have been hot for a while now and they have looked so good lately that they have even played themselves into 2nd place in the East. I think they have a good chance to win this game so giving them 6 points here I find very generous. The Bucks actually haven't looked that great in their games lately either and I think the Celtics have looked way better in their games. The Bucks just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before that and both of those losses even came on their home court. They were decimated in 1 of those games as they lost by 30+ points to the Clippers and gave up 150+ points to them in that game. They have been giving up a lot of points in their games lately and I think their defensive effort will be their downfall in this game. Their offense has been good lately but not as good as the Celtics have been, the Bucks have only put up 120+ points in 2/7 of their previous 7 games and that is going to be a problem for them here with the amount of points the Celtics have been putting up in their games lately. Both teams have already clinched a playoff spot but this game is still very important for seeding and could decide who takes on the 6th seed and who takes on a team from the play-in games. I think the Celtics have been really good lately and I think they can even win this game outright. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-114 Celtics. |

04-05-22 | Hornets +6 v. Heat | 115-144 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Charlotte Hornets. I like the Charlotte Hornets to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Tuesday. The Hornets have looked good in their games lately but they just lost a devastating game to the 76ers by 30 points and they were terrible with their defensive effort in that game, giving up 140+ points in the loss. I think they are going to bounce back with a better performance here and I expect them to be better on the defensive end too. The Heat have looked good on the defensive end this year and they are not really the kind of team that is going to put up 130+ points on the Hornets here. I think the Heat will keep this game more tame with their defensive effort and I expect the Hornets to stay in this game the entire time with their good offense. The Heat have won 4 games in a row now but I think they are due for a loss here. They won in much closer games in 2/3 of their previous 3 games and they didn't even put up 115+ points in either of those closer wins. The Hornets are also still fighting for seeding in this play-in tournament for the playoffs and they will have some motivation here to come out and win. The Heat have already clinched a playoff spot and have locked up their division so they really do not need to exert a lot of effort here and they are better off to just rest their players for the playoffs with only 4 games left on their schedule. I think this is a good spot for the Hornets to bounce back and upset the Heat here. I like the Hornets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 116-110 Hornets. |

04-03-22 | Pistons v. Pacers -2 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers. I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Sunday. The Pacers have looked terrible lately losing 6 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back on their home court here and they haven't even been that terrible in their 2 most recent games either. They still lost their 2 most recent games but they kept those games a lot closer and I think they can take advantage of a team that is lower than they are in the standings and break out of their funk lately. They lost a game on their home court to the Nuggets by 7 points but that is not bad considering they were down by 25 points early in that game. Then in their most recent game, they lost in a road game to the Celtics but only by 5 points and they were hanging in tightly in that game. The Pacers have also played 5 games in a row against teams that will be featured in the playoffs this year while the Pistons will not be and they are actually the 2nd last team in the East. I think this is a good spot for the Pacers to bounce back in and get a win on their home court. The Pistons have won 2 games in a row and they have been playing a lot better toward the end of the year here but that good play lately has dropped off a bit and I think they are going to stumble now with a tough schedule to end the year. Despite winning 2 games in a row, the Pistons have still lost a majority of their previous 8 games and they haven't looked great in road games either with a good number of their losses lately coming in road games. I think this is a good bounce back spot for the Pacers here. I like the Pacers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Pacers. |

04-02-22 | Cavs -1 v. Knicks | 119-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers. I like the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread against the New York Knicks in this game on Saturday. The Cavaliers haven't looked good in their games lately, they have won 1/6 games of their previous 6 and they have lost 2 games in a row now. They looked good in some of those losses though and they did have close games against the Bulls and mavericks and but their most recent game was a really bad loss to the Hawks in Atlanta and they lost that game by 20+ points. I think they are going to be looking to bounce back in this game though and the Knicks haven't exactly been having a great year. The Knicks won't be making a trip to the playoffs this year but the Cavs will be and I think they are going to step up in this game to get back on track and try to go on a run in their final games here going into the playoffs. The Knicks had actually won 4 games in a row before losing in their most recent game and that was a home loss by 10+ points for them. The Knicks have looked terrible in their home games this year and I think this is going to be another home game where they crack under the pressure of the fans. The Knicks haven't looked good at home all year and a big part of that is due to the fact that they were in the playoffs last year and are now the worst team in their division so the fans have been on their case about it all year, even booing certain players when they get the ball. Home games have almost turned into hostile environments for some of these Knicks players and I think it is only going to help the Cavs get a win here. I think the Knicks are going to continue their issues in home games here, I like the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 109-103 Cavaliers. |

03-30-22 | Heat v. Celtics -4 | 106-98 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Miami Heat in this game on Wednesday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to bounce back in this game. They had put together 6 wins in a row before losing in their most recent game but their loss was by 3 points in Toronto in a game that they did not have Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown playing in. The Celtics still lost that game without them but they lost in OT by 3 points so they really didn't even need them in that game and they still had a really good chance at winning that game. They will both be back for this game and I think that is just going to be an added boost to a team that was already playing great without them but they are the heart and soul of this team so with them back in the rotation, I see the Celtics being a very tough team to stop. They only missed their most recent game due to the current rules in Toronto, they both played in their 6 wins in a row before that loss and the Celtics have been destroying teams lately, winning all of those games but 1 by 10+ points. The Heat have had their own troubles lately, they just lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. They finally ended their losing skid with a win against the Kings but the Kings have had a terrible year and won't even be in the playoffs this year when all is said is done. The Celtics pretty much have a playoff spot locked up but they are still chasing down the 76ers to win their division and with the 76ers losing last night, the Celtics should be motivated here since they have a chance to move up in the standings. I don't like how the Heat have looked lately, losing a lot of their games near the end here and they have had a healthy rotation too. I think the Celtics are 1 of the best teams in the East with the way they are playing at the moment and I think they are going to win this game by a lot. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Celtics. |

03-29-22 | Bucks v. 76ers -1.5 | 118-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Tuesday. The 76ers have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to have another great game here. They won 3 games in a row before losing in their most recent game but they lost in a road game to the Suns who are the best team in the league at the moment. I think the 76ers are due for a bounce back win here and with not many games left in the regular season this year, I think the 76ers are going to start surging toward the finish line now to lock up their division for the playoffs. The 76ers have still been winning a lot of their games lately with 5/7 wins in their previous 7 games and I think Embiid and Harden are going to turn up the jets against the defending NBA champions here. The Bucks have been winning games still but they haven't looked great lately. They just lost in their most recent game to the Grizzlies by 20+ points and they were missing their star player Ja Morant in that game too. The Bucks have actually struggled a lot in their road games lately and their 2 most recent road losses were really bad, losing both games by 19+ points. Philadelphia is a very hostile place to play, especially with their fans, and the Bucks have already been struggling in their road games lately. I think the Bucks are going to continue struggling in their road games here and I expect the 76ers to take advantage of them in this hostile environment. The 76ers have looked great lately and I think the loss in their most recent game will just fuel them to win against the Bucks on their home court here. This could be a team they end up meeting in the playoffs and I expect Embiid and Harden to give Giannis and the Bucks a little taste of the new look 76ers here. I like the 76ers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 126-119 76ers. |

03-28-22 | Nuggets -4 v. Hornets | 113-109 | Push | 0 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Monday. The Nuggets have looked good in their games lately with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games and I think they can get another win here over the Hornets. The Nuggets have been surging lately picking up a lot of wins and they are in the 6th place position in the West at the moment but they are also trying to avoid playing in a play-in game for the playoffs. They are catching the Hornets at a good time since they are on a B2B where they had to travel back from Brooklyn and they even beat the Nets in their road game during Kyrie Irving's home debut this year. I think the Hornets are going to be gassed from that win plus the travel, I expect this to be a bit of a let down for them while the Nuggets are rested having last played on Saturday. The Hornets have looked really good themselves lately winning 7/8 of their previous 8 games but I think this is a great spot for them to slip up in and lose. Nikola Jokic has been really hot over their previous 3 games with 28+ points in all of them, 30+ points in 2 of those games, and I think this will be another game where he has a big night and helps lift his team to victory. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 Nuggets. |

03-27-22 | Wolves v. Celtics -6 | Top | 112-134 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here and win another game on their home court. They have won 5 games in a row now and they have been destroying the opposing teams in those games winning most of them by 10+ points. The Celtics have really stepped up in their home games lately too and they have won 5/6 of their previous 6 home games. They have faced some bad teams on their current run but they also have wins over the Warriors, Nuggets, and Jazz who are all very good teams in the West and the Celtics didn't just win those games but they destroyed those teams by 20+ points in every game. Jayson Tatum has been really hot in their games and he is a big reason why they have been playing so well but lately they have been getting a bigger offensive contribution from Jaylen Brown and with both of these scorers playing really hot, the Celtics are almost impossible to stop at the moment. The Celtics have won 5 games in a row and Brown has had 20+ points in all of those games along with Tatum's effort too. The Timberwolves have also looked really good lately and they just won their most recent game over the Mavericks by 20+ points on their home court but they had 2 lost games in a row before that win and they even had a lead by 10+ points late into 1 of those games before losing it by almost 10 points themselves. The T-wolves have looked great in their games and they have become 1 of the stronger teams in the West this year with how well they have played but they are still a team that is coming around and is not quite there yet while the Celtics look like a team that is ready to win a championship right now. I think the Celtics have been really hot and I don't see the T-wolves ending their run here. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-104 Celtics. |

03-26-22 | Kings +3 v. Magic | 114-110 | Win | 100 | 15 h 50 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Sacramento Kings. I like the Sacramento Kings to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Saturday. The Kings haven't looked great lately but they just ended a losing skid with a win in their most recent game and I think they can extend their good play into this game too. They have only won the 1 game in their previous 4 but they have actually looked good in their 2 most recent games. In the game before their win over the Pacers in their most recent game, they took the Suns to OT and lost that game by 3 points. The Kings have been looking better lately and with a game against the Magic here, I think they will give their best effort knowing they have a good chance of getting another win here. The Magic haven't looked terrible lately with 2/3 wins in their previous 3 games but they also haven't played a strong variety of teams. Their 1 win was over the thunder who are 1 of the worst teams in the league this year and their other win was over the Warriors who were missing Curry and have had their own issues to deal with lately as they keep losing games. The Magic have also seen the Thunder 2 times in their previous 3 games and they only managed to come away with 1 win against them. Their most recent game was actually a loss to the Thunder and they got destroyed by them too, losing by 15+ points. I think the Kings are a lot better than the Thunder are and I expect the Kings to give the Magic a much better challenge here. The Magic have been really up and down all year and even lately, they have won 2 of their previous 3 games but also have some bad losses to teams worse than them in their games before those wins. I think the Kings can put up a good fight here and win another game extending their run to 2 games. i like the Kings to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-107 Kings. |

03-23-22 | Suns -1 v. Wolves | 125-116 | Win | 100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Phoenix Suns. I like the Phoenix Suns to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Wednesday. The Suns have looked really good in their games lately but this has been a common theme for them all year since they are the 1st place team in the league and they were the 1st team to even clinch a playoff spot a few weeks ago. They have won 5 games in a row now, they just won a very close game in OT in their most recent game but most of their wins during that time have been by 10+ points. The Suns have been grinding out a lot of wins lately and they have been doing it while missing their star player Chris Paul. It is possible he makes a return in this game though after weeks of sitting out due to a finger injury. I think Chris Paul will add a big boost to this rotation and I expect him to contribute on both the defensive and the offensive ends of the court. The Timberwolves have also looked really good as of late and they just won 4 games in a row but their run was ended by a loss in their most recent game. They just lost to the Mavericks by 2 points and now that they have lost a game, I expect some of their momentum to fade and I think the Suns will be too much for them to handle with Chris Paul back in their rotation. The Suns have the best record in the league for a reason and the 2nd place team is nowhere even close being 9 games back from them. I think the Suns are going to keep rolling all the way to the playoffs and start getting hot now so they can make another deep run just like last year. I like the Suns to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 129-123 Suns. |

03-22-22 | Warriors v. Magic +8 | 90-94 | Win | 100 | 13 h 12 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Orlando Magic. I like the Orlando Magic to cover the spread against the Golden State Warriors in this game on Tuesday. The magic haven't looked great in their games lately but they have won 3/6 of their previous 6 games which is good for them considering how their year has gone. They have 2 really bad losses during that time but they also have 3 wins and a very close loss to the 76ers by only 2 points in OT. They even won their most recent game against the Thunder on their home court. I think the Magic will continue to play well on their home court here and I expect them to come out with their best effort in this game since they are playing against one of the best teams in the league this year in the Warriors and the warriors are even missing their star player for this game, Steph Curry. I think the absence of Curry is going to hurt them here and while I don't really think the Magic can win this game, I think they can still keep it close on their home court here. The Warriors haven't looked great in the games without Curry and I think they are going to continue to struggle until they can fully adjust to their game without him. They ended up losing the game to the Celtics that Curry went down in by 20+ points and they even lost their next game after that, dropping a game on their own home court to the Spurs who have had a terrible year. I think the Magic are catching the Warriors at a great time here and I think they will keep this game close. I like the Magic to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-109 Warriors. |

03-21-22 | Jazz v. Nets -1 | 106-114 | Win | 100 | 15 h 40 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Monday. The Nets have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been starting to surge with Kevin Durant back in their rotation. They have won 5/6 of their previous 6 games and their only loss was by 2 points to the Mavericks during that time. They have actually won a majority of those games by 10+ points too and they have even looked a lot better on their home court without Kyrie Irving in their rotation for those games. I think the Nets are starting to find their groove and I expect them to keep surging until the end of the year since they have fallen off in the standings and are in 8th place at the moment. The Jazz have looked good lately with 3 wins in a row but they haven't had to face a player like Durant in any of those games and I think they will struggle keeping him contained in this game. Bogdanovic is missing from the Jazz rotation and although that isn't a massive blow to them, his replacement didn't make much of an impact in their last game and they will need more offensive contribution from him here, or just contribution in general since he also had just 4 rebounds and no assists. I think they are going to feel the absence of Bogdanovic in this game and I think it will make it that much harder for them to keep up with Durant putting all these points up. I think he is going to put the team on his back here like he has in many games this year and I expect him to carry them to another win as they keep trying to climb the standings as much as they can with few games left in the regular season. I like the Nets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-112 Nets. |

T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Monday. The Lakers haven't looked good at all in their games lately, they have won 1/5 of their previous 5 games. They just got their win against the Raptors to break a losing skid they were on but they lost again right after that in their most recent game, losing to the Wizards by 8 points. I think the Lakers are due for a bounce back though and they need to kick it into gear if they are going to keep their playoff spot and even have a chance of making a run once they get there. They have the Spurs hot on their trail just 2 wins behind but I think the Lakers will step up and rise to the occasion here to win or at least make this game close. LeBron has still looked good in their games lately despite losing so many, and I expect him to put up a ton of points in this game against his own city. I think this will somewhat feel like a home game for him and I expect LeBron to have one of his best performances of the year being in Cleveland here. The Cavaliers haven't looked great in their games lately anyway. They have won 2 games in a row but both wins were very close and their most recent game was a home win by 4 points over the Pistons. The Cavaliers have also been missing Jarrett Allen and he is a big presence for them underneath the net. The Cavaliers started to dip a bit when he went out and they have been getting by without him in their rotation but a lot of their wins have come in close games and I think his absence will be a factor in this game. I expect the Lakers to dominate in the paint here and I think they even have a chance to win this game outright. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 109-106 Lakers. |

03-20-22 | Celtics v. Nuggets +3 | 124-104 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Nuggets have looked really good in their games lately and they have started to surge toward the finish line with a lot more wins as of late. They had won 2 games in a row before losing in their most recent game but they lost to a good team in the Cavaliers and they only lost that game by 3 points after going to OT to settle it. I think the Nuggets are due for a bounce back here and I expect them to do so now that they are back on their home court with their advantage of playing in a very high altitude. A lot of teams have issues when playing in this altitude and I think that could be the advantage the Nuggets need to stop a red hot team like the Celtics. The Celtics have won 2 games in a row but they haven't lost many games lately. They have been destroying the teams in their way and their previous 4 wins have all been by 10+ points but I think this is the game that they get stopped in. This is also the Nuggets' 1st game back from a road trip and they had lost 2 games in a row on their home court before going on their road trip. I think they are due for a bounce back win here but I also think they will be looking to make up those losses on their home floor with a win here and against a really good team. The Celtics have looked really good on defense in their games lately but I think the altitude is going to affect the defensive effort by the Celtics since they will be draining their energy quicker and I don't think they will be able to hold down the Nuggets offense here. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 121-117 Nuggets. |

03-19-22 | Mavs -1.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-129 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately but they just tripped up in their most recent game with a loss in Philly to the 76ers by 10 points. They had won 3 games in a row before that loss and they even had 8/9 wins in their previous 9 games before that loss too. I think they have been playing at a very high level lately and they have been building up big runs over the last few weeks, trying to get themselves in a better position for the playoffs. This is a team that is destined for the playoffs this year and I expect them to get a bounce back win in this game. The Hornets have not been having a great year and they are barely on the cusp of making the playoffs as they hold down the 10th place spot at the moment. The Hornets have looked better lately with 3 wins in a row but their 3 wins have been against much weaker teams than what the Mavericks have seen lately and before they won 3 games in a row they actually lost 2 games in a row to teams that the Mavericks have just beaten. I'm not saying that the Mavericks are going to win this game because of that, that's not the case, but there is a significant difference in talent between these 2 teams and I expect the Mavericks to get the job done here as long as their star Luka Doncic is on the court, which he will be. Doncic has been getting a lot of offensive help from his teammates lately too and I think this is a better Mavericks team than the one that Doncic was carrying them in every game. They have become a more rounded team now as the season winds down and I expect them to win this game with no issues. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-116 Mavericks. |

03-18-22 | Wizards v. Knicks -4.5 | 97-100 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 0 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Friday. The Knicks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been starting to win more and play a lot better as of late. They have 4/6 wins in their previous 6 games and they just won in their most recent game against the Trail Blazers by 30 points. They dropped 2 games in a row right before that with losses to the Nets and to the Grizzlies but they had won 3 games in a row before those 2 losses and all 3 of those wins were by 10+ points. They have started to rely more on their blooming star in RJ Barrett and the young players on their team are getting a lot more playing time now since the year is coming to an end. These young players have added a much needed boost of energy to their rotation and I think they can beat up on the struggling Wizards here. The Wizards have lost 5 games in a row now and a majority of them have been by 10+ points. They haven't been able to do much in their games without their star Bradley Beal and I think the Wizards will continue to struggle until their star comes back from injury. Porzingis was supposed to add an element of defense to this team which they were lacking heavily before but he has had to make up the offensive production of Beal in the mean time so he hasn't been able to play on defense as well as he normally would. The Knicks have also stepped up their defensive play in games with all of these young players on the court they actually have the energy to put in that effort and it has been helping them win their games lately. The Knicks have been the much better team lately and I expect them to blow by the Wizards here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 114-104 Knicks. |

03-16-22 | Nuggets -5.5 v. Wizards | 127-109 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets. I like the Denver Nuggets to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Wednesday. The Nuggets have looked really good lately and they have been getting really hot as we approach the playoffs. They just went through a mini 2 game slump but they have bounced back with a win against the 76ers in a road game and I think they can beat up on the Wizards in this game. They had won 4 games in a row before going into their mini 2 game slump and they had some good wins during that time. The Nuggets just stunted the new look 76ers with James Harden in the rotation and I think they should be able to carry over some momentum from that game into this game. The Wizards have been terrible lately and they are on the outside looking in at the moment. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row and even their recently acquired Porzingis isn't enough to keep this team afloat. He was brought in to help the Wizards with their defense which they desperately need help with but he has had to focus more on offense and putting up points in their games in the absence of Bradley Beal. I think the Wizards are going to continue on their losing skid without Beal in their rotation since he is really the heart of this team. The Wizards have lost 4 games in a row but their 3 most recent games were all lost by 10+ points and I don't think being on their home court here is going to help them much against a team like the Nuggets who are starting to surge at the right time. The Wizards are clearly going to miss the playoffs at this rate and I expect the Nuggets to bury them even further with another win in this game. I like the Nuggets to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-107 Nuggets. |

03-14-22 | Blazers +12.5 v. Hawks | 113-122 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Atlanta Hawks in this game on Monday. The Trail Blazers haven't looked great lately but they just won their most recent game by 9 points over the Wizards and they weren't even favored in that game. I was on them to win that game outright as a dog and they did, now I like them to cover this huge spread against the Hawks since the Hawks haven't looked that great this year either. The Hawks have won 2 games in a row but they have not been impressive wins at all. They have a 6 point win over the Clippers and a 3 point win over the Pacers, both of those games were on their home court too where they have been a better team this year. The Trail Blazers looked a lot better in their most recent game against the Wizards and I think they can carry over some of that momentum into this game now that they finally got a win to end their losing winning drought. The Hawks have only won 4/7 of their previous 7 games and the 4 games they won were all wins by 6 points or less. I think the Hawks will win this game on their home court here but they haven't looked great lately and they certainly haven't been beating the opposing teams they have faced by 10+ points. I think the Trail Blazers will keep this game a bit close. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 113-106 Hawks. |

03-13-22 | Rockets v. Pelicans -5.5 | 105-130 | Win | 100 | 12 h 51 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Sunday. The Pelicans have not looked good in their games lately losing 4 in a row now but I think this is the game they can bounce back and stop the bleeding in. The Pelicans have been missing 2 of their starters in their games lately and both Ingram and McCollum will still be out for this game but I think they still have a good chance of winning over the Rockets. The Rockets are the worst team in the west at the moment and they are 3 wins behind the next team in front of them. The Pelicans have still been putting up points in their games lately, they have put up 100+ points in all 4 of their losses but were just outscored by teams better than them in 3 of those games. The Rockets play no defense though so the Pelicans should have an easier time scoring in this game and I think they can get the job done here. The Rockets have also been missing their leading scorer as of late and he is supposed to return in this game but he has been out with an illness and even Wood plays in this game he may not be 100% or up to speed in the game as the illness could still be affecting him. The Pelicans will also be motivated to win here since they have been slipping in the standings but are trying to push for a playoff spot. They need to stop the bleeding with a win here and extend their lead over the Trail Blazers and Spurs as they are right on their tail. I think the Pelicans will step up in this game with their injuries and still beat up on a bad Rockets team. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Pelicans. |

03-12-22 | Wizards v. Blazers +6 | Top | 118-127 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Saturday. The Trail Blazers have looked terrible in their games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games and getting absolutely dismantled in all of them. They have lost 6 games in a row now by 10+ points and they didn't even put up 90+ points in their 2 most recent games. They have played their 3 most recent games in road games though and will be back on their home court here. I think they are going to play a lot better being back on their home court since they have a lot of young players and non-starters playing in this game. Their 2 most recent games were really embarrassing so I expect these players to show some pride in this game at least and put up a better performance here on their home floor. They are getting a bit of a break too since Bradley Beal is out and he is the Wizards star player. The Wizards have already looked terrible in the 2nd half of this year but they have looked even worse in their games without Beal. The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row now and they just lost their most recent game by 10+ points to the Lakers, the Lakers have been riddled with a bunch of their own issues this year too. I think the Trail Blazers have to respond better in this game to their previous few losses and I expect them to take advantage of a weaker Wizards team on their home court here. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Trail Blazers. |

03-10-22 | Warriors -3 v. Nuggets | 113-102 | Win | 100 | 16 h 21 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Thursday. The Warriors haven't looked good lately but they finally stopped the bleeding in their most recent game winning against the Clippers by 10+ points. After losing 5 games in a row they have finally figured out a way to cover the defensive hole that Draymond Green is leaving in their rotation at the moment. I think now that they have the taste of winning again, the Warriors will continue to surge in these next few games and I think they have some extra motivation for this game too. The Warriors just lost to the Nuggets 3 days ago and I think they will be looking to get their revenge here. The Warriors have actually lost all 3 games they have played against the Nuggets this year and 2 of those losses were even on their own home court, losing by 1 point and by 3 points in those 2 games. They lost by 6 points in their road game just a few days ago but I think that loss is still fresh in their minds and I expect them to finally get a win against the Nuggets this year. The warriors even lost that game by 6 a few days ago and they really had none of their stars playing since Green, Thompson, and Curry all sat out of that game. Green is still missing here but both Curry and Thompson are back and I think they should be enough to turn the tables in favor of the Warriors here. The Nuggets have been very hot lately winning 4 games in a row but they have been slowing down in their 2 most recent games since they went from a 10+ win to 3 wins of 8 points or less including 2 wins by 6 points and an 8 point win that went to OT. The Nuggets could barely handle the Warriors in their previous meeting and that was with a weakened rotation too. I expect this to be a completely different game with Curry and Thompson back in the rotation against the Nuggets here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 118-110 Warriors. |

03-09-22 | Bulls -6 v. Pistons | 114-108 | Push | 0 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Chicago Bulls. I like the Chicago Bulls to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Wednesday. The Bulls have lost 5 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back in this game. They have lost some close games to some very good teams during that time and I think they should be able to get a nice win over the Pistons here and bounce back. Even though the Bulls have been in a funk lately they haven't looked bad in their games and I think this is the time for them to get a win and break their losing skid. The Pistons have been 1 of the worst teams in the league all year and I think the Bulls can beat up on them here. The Pistons have looked really good lately winning 3 games in a row but I think their luck has run out in this game and I expect them to revert back to the old Pistons team that we have seen all year from them. Even though they have been winning some games lately, a lot of their wins have been in very close games and they haven't really had a very tough schedule either. I expect the Bulls to play with some urgency here too since they have been slipping down the standings lately and I think this is the game they can stop the bleeding in. I like the Bulls to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Bulls. |

03-08-22 | Pelicans v. Grizzlies -5.5 | 111-132 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Memphis Grizzlies. I like the Memphis Grizzlies to cover the spread against the New Orleans Pelicans in this game on Tuesday. The Grizzlies have not looked their best in their games lately. They have been beating up on a lot of bad teams lately but they have been struggling against the better ones. They have lost 2/3 of their previous 3 games with losses to a red hot Celtics team and a very bad loss to the Rockets in their most recent game. They lost in a road game to the Rockets by 10+ points and that loss is very embarrassing since the Rockets are the worst team in the West at the moment. They have been struggling to even win a game over their previous 10 and the Grizzlies drop this game to them. I think the Grizzlies will be upset over that loss and I expect them to respond with a way better performance in this home game. Their team is very healthy at the moment and there is no reason why they shouldn't win this game since Ja Morant is turning into a real superstar in this league and leading his team to greatness in their games. He has cooled off a bit lately but I think he will have a huge game here as they look to bounce back and start getting ready for the playoffs by making a big run in the final stretch of the season here. The Pelicans have also looked great in their games lately as they won 4 games in a row and they have looked like a different team since acquiring some players via trade. They did lose their most recent game by 8 points to the Nuggets in OT though and I think that game took away a lot of the momentum they had while they were rolling. The Pelicans have been playing at a very high level lately but they still don't have elite players on their team like the Grizzlies do here and the Grizzlies should be able to handle them on their home court here. I think the Pelicans are going to start regressing a bit after that loss and I think the Grizzlies will be looking for that bounce back win here. I like the Grizzlies to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 120-108 Grizzlies. |

03-06-22 | Raptors v. Cavs -4 | 96-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 54 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Cleveland Cavaliers. I like the Cleveland Cavaliers to cover the spread against the Toronto Raptors in this game on Sunday. The Cavaliers haven't looked great lately losing 3 games in a row now. They have been losing a lot of games lately but even in their losses they have been keeping the games close and losing by not a lot of points in some of them. They have lost 3 games in a row now but 2 of those losses were only by 5 points and I think they can bounce back in this game. The Cavaliers are playing on their home court here and they have been a lot better on their home court this year than playing in road games. The Raptors have also not looked good in their games lately but I think they are going to continue on their skid here. They have lost 2 games in a row now but their 2 losses were against the Pistons and the Magic, losing B2B games against teams with only 15 wins this year. They even lost both of those games on their home court too and I think they are going to struggle in this road game with how they have been playing lately. It doesn't help them that they are missing some of their starters and they really look bad without those players like Annunoby and VanVleet who were both absent for those 2 losses. I think that the Raptors are severely weakened without those 2 players in their rotation and the Cavaliers have been getting healthier as of late so I expect to see them turning things around here. I like the Cavaliers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-104 Cavaliers. |

03-03-22 | Heat +1.5 v. Nets | 113-107 | Win | 100 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Thursday. The Heat have looked really good in their games lately. They won 4 games in a row but they lost their most recent game in a nail biting and heartbreaking fashion by 1 point to the Bucks in a road game. I think they will be looking to bounce back in this game and I think they have been playing at a very high level lately. Their team has been healthy lately and all of their starters are playing well and I think this team is going to start getting really hot as the playoffs start to approach. The Nets have been terrible lately and a big part of that is due to Kevin Durant being out with injury. This is a home game for them so Kyrie Irving won't be eligible to play in this game but this is supposed to be the return of Durant after weeks of missing games due to an MCL sprain. Durant has looked great this year when he has been healthy but this is an injury where the return date kept getting pushed back and I don't think he is going to just hop back on the court and be 100% here. This will also be his 1st game playing with some new teammates and I think he will need some time to get into a groove playing with them. I expect the Nets to come out a bit slow in this game and I think the Heat can take control of this game early and keep control throughout the game. I expect the Heat to be eager for a win after the way they lost to the Bucks last night. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 115-107 Heat. |

03-02-22 | Kings v. Pelicans -5 | 95-125 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show | |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Wednesday. The Pelicans have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue playing at a high level here since they are in the hunt for a playoff spot. The Pelicans have won 2 games in a row and both were very good wins since they knocked off the Suns, who are the best team in the league at the moment, and the Lakers in their most recent game. They added CJ McCollum to their team via a trade and now they haven't lost a game since coming back from the All Star break. They won both of those games by 15+ points too and both their offense and defense has looked good in the games. They put up 115+ points in both games and didn't give up 105+ points in either game. I think their team chemistry has been getting a lot better lately and I think they are going to start making a real run for the playoffs in this final stretch. The Kings also made some trades to try and give their team a boost but it hasn't been panning out for them since they lost 4 games in a row before winning their most recent game. Even so, their most recent game was a 20+ point win over the Thunder who have been having a terrible year as 1 of the worst teams in the league. I think the Pelicans are built a lot better than the Kings are and I think they can beat up on them on their home court here. I think the Pelicans are actually a team worthy of a playoff spot this year with how much improvement they have shown and I just think the Kings aren't good enough to make it in. I expect the Pelicans to start going on a run here so I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-111 Pelicans. |
