Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz and Denver Nuggets enter their Wednesday matchup in Salt Lake City coming off losses to the same team -- the Minnesota Timberwolves -- but not all losses are created equally. Denver saw its five-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday in a 130-115 loss at Minneapolis, but that setback pales in comparison to Utah's. Not only did the Jazz fall 126-106 to the host Timberwolves on Sunday to extend their losing streak to five game -- and give them 11 defeats in their past 13 games -- but they lost Joe Ingles for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. On Monday, an MRI revealed that Ingles sustained a torn left anterior cruciate ligament in a non-contact play at Minnesota.

Rating: 5 Unit NBA Game of the Week While Utah rides comfortably atop the Northwest Division, Minnesota is currently 5.5 games back.

Consider that Minnesota is 6-1 ATS in this series since 1990 when seeking same-season triple revenge, including 6-0 ATS when the Jazz sport a win percentage of greater than .525. In addition, Utah has hit a skid of late, going just 2-9 SUATS. To cap it all off, playing on the Minnesota Timberwolves in division games before Game 66 when they are seeking same-season triple revenge vs. a .575 or greater foe is a whopping 10-0 ATS since 1990. |

Rating: 2 Units The Heat return to FX Arena after looking to exact 6 degrees of revenge here against the Clippers last night. Making matters worse is not only the fact that Erik Spoelstra’s troops are just 4-8 SUATS in games after facing the paper Clips, but they also have another same-season revenge affair up next at Boston on Monday. With it, the Raptors take South Beach off a 6-point loss at Chicago on Wednesday toting an 11-5 SU and 12-4 ATS road record after bullfights, including 5-1 ATS with revenge in the air. For that we thank the schedule maker. Consider that the Raptors are 6-0 SU and 4-1-1 ATS in this series coming off a loss when Miami sports a .480 or greater win percentage. |

01-25-22 | Spurs -4.5 v. Rockets | 134-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The Rockets rank dead last in the league in scoring defense, surrendering over 116 PPG. They are also worst in the loop in Turnovers Per Game, shelling out 17.0 TO’s per contest at press time. That fits like a glove next to the Spurs’ quality control crew that ranks No. 5 in Turnovers Per Game. So now that the number crunching is out of the way, we turn our focus to set-up in this contest as the Rockets fi nd themselves landlocked off a double revenge win against San Antonio, with another revenge affair up next versus Portland. The fact that Houston is 16-39 SUATS at home the past two seasons, including 0-7 SUATS the last seven overall as hosts, puts this in near-best bet territory, especially knowing that Houston is 0-5 SUATS at home with a sub .350 win percentage after facing Golden State, and 2-9 ATS at home versus conference opponents before facing Portland. |

01-24-22 | Pacers v. Pelicans -3 | 113-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both of these teams have been underachievers this season, and it would be a real surprise to see a sighting of either when the playoffs roll around. What this game becomes tonight, though, is a solid handicap with the Pelicans in revenge mode from a 111-94 loss at Indiana in November. A neat 9-3 ATS ledger of late in this series, including 4-0 ATS with same-season revenge of 3 or more points, sets the table for the big-billed birds. The fact that they are 7-1 ATS as home favorites when avenging same-season losses of 15-plus points works, too. Then there are the Pacers, who invade Bourbon Street smack in the middle of a revenge sandwich with Phoenix (2-6 SUATS post-Suns) and Charlotte (1-3 SUATS before the Hornets). We’ll take advantage of the schedule maker. |

01-17-22 | Suns v. Spurs +3.5 | 121-107 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Phoenix just ruled out Deandre Ayton and it's looking doubtful that Cameron Johnson will play. I believe the healthy Spurs can win this outright but won't turn down the +3.5. It's the second of a B2B for Phoenix, which has covered just two of its past eight in that scenario. San Antonio is 6-0 ATS in its past six games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. |

01-17-22 | Blazers -1.5 v. Magic | 98-88 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Trail Blazers are expected to get reinforcements for this game with C.J. McCollum no longer on their injury report. He hasn’t played in over a month because of a collapsed lung, so expect him to be on some sort of a minutes restriction. However, with him, Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic all healthy, they are a much more dangerous team. Meanwhile, the Magic are set to play their sixth straight game without Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) out. They went 1-4 without him the last five games, which included a loss to the Pistons. |

Rating: 2 Units After getting smoked by the Bucks on Thursday, the Warriors have a quick turnaround here in Chicago. Draymond Green (calf), Klay Thompson (rest) and Gary Payton II (back) have all been ruled out, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Otto Porter Jr. and/or Andre Iguodala are ultimately rested, as well. The Bulls will be highly motivated to bounce back from their second-half disaster against the Nets on Wednesday, so they could roll to a lopsided victory. |

Both teams are struggling entering the latest meeting. Sacramento has lost three straight games and 11 of 16, while Portland has dropped six of its last seven games and 16 of its last 20. Portland will be without star guard Damian Lillard (abdomen) for the fourth straight game while backcourt partner CJ McCollum (lung) will miss his 15th consecutive game.

The Hawks began the road trip -- which covered 5,723 miles -- with 12 players on either the COVID-19 list or injured list. Healthy again, they have won two of the five road games. The Clippers were defeated 123-108 on Saturday for their third straight loss. The Clippers have dropped nine of their last 12 games. |

01-09-22 | Spurs +11 v. Nets | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 2 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Suddenly, home games are becoming difficult for the Brooklyn Nets. Winless at home since Dec. 16, the Nets will attempt to halt a five-game home skid Sunday afternoon when they face the San Antonio Spurs. Brooklyn earned its Dec. 16 home victory when Kevin Durant scored 34 points in a 114-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The losing streak started with a seven-point loss to the Orlando Magic on Dec. 18, which was followed by collapses down the stretch in losses to the 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers before the Nets lost by double digits to the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks. On Monday, the Nets trailed by 28 against Memphis in a 118-104 defeat. After rallying from 19 points down to win at Indiana on Wednesday, the Nets never led, trailing by as many as 24 points in Friday's 121-109 loss to the Bucks, who hit 16 3-pointers. Consider that the Spurs are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-08-22 | Heat v. Suns -8.5 | 123-100 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat, 2-2 in what is scheduled to be a six-game road trip, will face their stiffest test yet on Saturday when they visit the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix has the best record in the NBA at 30-8, and Chris Paul leads the league in assists per game (10.1) while ranking fifth in steals (1.9). The Suns are 25-0 when leading after three quarters, and Paul -- as their veteran point guard -- deserves credit for closing out opponents. Consider that the Heat are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win. |

01-06-22 | Clippers v. Suns -10.5 | 89-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Suns look to record win No. 30 when they host the Los Angeles Clippers tonight as they continue one of the best starts in franchise history. Phoenix's top start through 38 games was 31-7 during the 2004-05 season, a team led by superstar Steve Nash. A win against the Clippers would place the Suns at 30-8. And Phoenix is thriving despite five players being in COVID-19 protocol -- big men Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee, forwards Jae Crowder and Abdel Nader, along with guard Landry Shamet. Consider that the Clippers are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. |

01-06-22 | Warriors -2.5 v. Pelicans | 96-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This game could be Warriors' final one before the return of shooting guard Klay Thompson, who hasn't played in more than two years because of ACL and Achilles tears. Golden State reportedly is optimistic that Thompson will be able to play at home against Cleveland on Sunday night. New Orleans won five of its last six games before New Year's, but the schedule at the start of 2022 has not been kind. The Pelicans' losing streak started with a road loss against defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday. The game against Golden State concludes a homestand featuring the top three teams in the Western Conference in four days. The Pelicans lost to Utah 115-104 on Monday and to Phoenix on Tuesday, 123-110. Consider that the Warriors are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-05-22 | Heat v. Blazers +1.5 | 115-109 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat continue a six-game road trip on Wednesday when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers. Miami comes in halfway through its road swing, which matches the Heat's longest this season. After starting the trek Dec. 31 with a 120-110 win at Houston, Miami dropped its last two against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday 115-113 and Monday at Golden State 115-108. The loss to the Warriors came with an additional toll. Jimmy Butler was helped off the court in the third quarter having sustained what the team later announced was a right ankle injury. He has been ruled out against the Blazers. Consider that the Heat are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Portland. |

01-05-22 | Jazz -3 v. Nuggets | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets haven't spent as much time at home this season as many other teams. They've played 21 of their 35 games on the road so far this year, most of those without their full lineup intact, and the last two without their head coach. Denver won't have a full complement of players Wednesday night, but it will get a chance to play at home when it hosts the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets haven't dominated at Ball Arena like they have in past years, going just 8-6 with a couple of underwhelming losses tossed in. They'll have to be well-prepared for Utah, as the Jazz lead the Northwest Division so far this season. Consider that the Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. While the Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

Rating: 2 Units Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Thunder with 22.7 points per game to go along with averages of 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks. Teammate Luguentz Dort, who is dealing with a sore knee and is uncertain for Wednesday, is second with 16.3 points per game. A bright spot for Oklahoma City has been newcomer Josh Giddey, who was named as the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for December on Tuesday. The 19-year-old from Australia averaged 11.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists during the month. Consider that the Thunder are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. |

Rating: 2 Units After their six-game win streak was snapped on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks look to get back on track on Wednesday night when they host the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks are coming off a 115-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who earned back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced Milwaukee with 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on 11-of-21 shooting. Jrue Holiday trailed close behind with 29 points, and Bobby Portis had 12 to go with 14 rebounds. Khris Middleton chipped in 10 points after missing Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Consider that the Raptors are 9-26 ATS in their last 35 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. |

01-05-22 | 76ers v. Magic +8.5 | 116-106 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wendell Carter Jr. had 21 points and 10 rebounds against his former team, marking his fourth consecutive double-double and team-high 18th of the season. Carter also scored his 2,000th career point in the loss. Wagner scored a team-high 22 points for his 20th consecutive game in double figures - the second-longest streak by a rookie in Magic history. Gary Harris (19 points) went 5 of 10 from 3-point range and Terrence Ross contributed 15 points off the bench, giving him 48 points in two games since clearing protocol. Consider that the 76ers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando. |

01-05-22 | Pistons +10.5 v. Hornets | 111-140 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hornets are the worst defensive team in the NBA. They allow 116.7 PPG. The last two games have seen them give up 133 to Phoenix and 124 to Charlotte. Those kind of defensive numbers, coupled with being this large of a favorite, is a bad combo. The back to back wins should have Detroit somewhat confident heading into this game. It's not like Charlotte is some great team either. While the Hornets are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, they've given up more points than they've scored this year and tonight marks just the EIGHTH game where they come in as the favorite. |

Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings will look to derail LeBron James and the Lakers when they visit Los Angeles for a duel of Pacific Division rivals Tuesday night. James had his run of 30-point games end at seven straight on Sunday, but still managed a game-high 26 as the Lakers won a second in a row, 108-103 at home over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The victory came even though the Lakers were outrebounded 56-28. Consider that Kings are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 1 days rest. |

Rating: 2 Units The Pelicans got their top two scorers -- Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas -- back Monday. The Pelicans, who began the new year with a 136-113 loss at defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday, are in the midst of three home games against the best teams in West over four days. The stretch concludes against NBA-leading Golden State on Thursday. Consider that the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. |

01-04-22 | Pacers +2 v. Knicks | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers put themselves in position for a stirring win Sunday by mounting a 22-9 run to take an 84-73 lead with three minutes left in the third quarter. But the Cavaliers scored the final 15 points of the period and led by as many as nine in the fourth quarter. Indiana fell to 2-7 since a three-game winning streak that ended Dec. 10. That winning streak included a 122-102 victory over the Knicks on Dec. 8. The Knicks haven't been at .500 since entering the game against the Pacers at 12-12. That loss marked the start of a 5-8 stretch for New York, which won three in a row from Dec. 25-29 to move within a game of the break-even mark before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 95-80 on New Year's Eve. The Knicks enter Tuesday in 11th place in the East, one game behind the Raptors and Boston Celtics, who are tied for the final two play-in spots. Their attempts to climb the standings have been complicated by a string of injuries and COVID-19 absences. Consider that the Pacers are 20-9-2 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. |

01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors -6.5 | 104-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With most of their players back in the lineup, the Toronto Raptors will be going for their third straight victory Tuesday night against the visiting San Antonio Spurs. Scottie Barnes, the last regular to return from health and safety protocols for the Raptors, scored 13 points Sunday in a 120-105 victory over the visiting New York Knicks. Slightly more than a week ago, the Raptors were trying to assemble a team while having 10 players in the COVID-19 protocol. With the regulars back, Raptors coach Nick Nurse must figure out his rotations. Consider that the Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

01-03-22 | Nuggets v. Mavs -3.5 | 89-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver faces a Dallas team that has gotten key players back, most notably Luka Doncic. Doncic missed 10 games before leading the Mavericks to a 95-86 win at Oklahoma City on Sunday night. It was his first game in 23 days and he was sporting a brace on his left knee. Coach Jason Kidd limited him to 31 minutes, and he finished with 14 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Dallas also got Tim Hardaway Jr. and Max Kleber back into the lineup. Both players missed six games in health and safety protocol since testing positive for COVID-19 before Christmas. The win over the Thunder was the second straight for the Mavericks after they dropped five of their previous seven. They went 5-5 without Doncic. |

01-03-22 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Nets | 118-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units NBA Play of the Day The Memphis Grizzlies own the notable distinction of being the only team to defeat the heavyweights of the Western Conference in the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz this season. Ja Morant played a significant role in those victories, and he and the rest of the Grizzlies will get a crack at another upper-echelon team Monday night in a visit to the Brooklyn Nets. Morant heads into Monday's game averaging 24.7 points a game this season and 26.5 points in six games since returning from a 12-game absence due to a sprained knee and the NBA health and safety protocol. The Grizzlies were 10-2 in his absence, and Morant is averaging 30.5 points during their current four-game winning streak. Morant has scored at least 30 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. He started it by capping a 33-point night with the game-winner in Phoenix on Dec. 27, scored 41 two nights later in a five-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers, and then finished with 30 in Friday's 118-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs. |

01-02-22 | Wolves +8 v. Lakers | 103-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers would appear to need all the help they can get to defeat the Timberwolves. Their rough eight-game stretch started Dec. 17 with a 110-92 defeat at Minnesota, in a game when Davis left in the third quarter with his knee injury and hasn't played since. The Wolves actually have two victories over the Lakers this season, also beating them 107-83 at Los Angeles on Nov. 12. Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 28.5 points in the two victories, but is out in COVID-19 protocol, along with guards McKinley Wright IV and D'Angelo Russell. Minnesota has lost four of its last five games during its COVID-19 issues. Anthony Edwards returned from a six-game absence in a 120-108 defeat at Utah on Friday to score 26 points. Jarred Vanderbilt also returned Friday, while Patrick Beverley and Naz Reid are two games into their return. |

01-02-22 | Suns v. Hornets +2.5 | 133-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It won't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that the majority of the public money in this contest will be on the 27-8 Phoenix Suns. But I think there's value here on the 19-17 home side. This is a revenge game for the Hornets after they fell 137-106 in Phoenix on December 19th. Here's a perfect opportunity to get some revenge against a Suns team coming off their worst loss of the year. The Suns fell 123-108 in Boston as 3.5-point favorites last time out. Charlotte enters red hot after three straight victories as well, most recently a 116-108 victory over Indiana. Charlotte averages 115.2 points per game (2nd.) |

01-02-22 | Heat v. Kings +4 | 113-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings, who are 9-12 at home this season yet started the weekend just a half-game outside the Western Conference playoff picture, are actually in good shape in terms of COVID. Sacramento split two home games against the Dallas Mavericks this week, winning Wednesday on Chimezie Metu's 3-pointer at the buzzer before losing Friday's rematch. In Wednesday's game, the Kings got Davion Mitchell, Alex Len and Louis King back from the COVID list. On Friday, Neemias Queta returned from COVID protocol, and he was the final Kings player on the list. Shooting guard Terence Davis, Sacramento's seventh-leading scorer at 9.5 points per game, missed Friday's game due to left ankle soreness. Otherwise, the Kings are healthy, which is not the case for the Heat. In fact, Miami's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday was postponed because the Heat did not have the NBA's requirement of eight available players. Consider that the Heat are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-02-22 | Pacers v. Cavs -3 | 104-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers, meantime, will be trying to recover from having a home win snatched from their grasp on Friday night when the Chicago Bulls' DeMar DeRozan connected on a desperation 3-pointer at the horn for a 108-106 victory. It was Chicago's second win over the Pacers in six days, with Indiana also suffering a 116-108 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets in between. The three-game skid is Indiana's sixth losing streak of the season -- two two-gamers, two three-gamers and two four-game streaks. In the rematch with the Bulls, the Pacers were down five players -- including standout guard Malcolm Brogdon and Kelan Martin, who joined the group Friday -- because of COVID protocol. Consider that the Cavaliers are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games overall. |

01-01-22 | Warriors v. Jazz -4.5 | 123-116 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day The Jazz will have veterans Mike Conley Jr. and Joe Ingles back in the lineup Saturday after they sat out of Friday's 120-108 win over Minnesota. Donovan Mitchell, who had missed the two previous games with a back injury, returned to score a season-best 39 points with six 3-pointers. Mitchell looks forward to the matchup of NBA heavyweights. "They are a hell of a team led by a hell of a player, Hall of Famer (Steph Curry)," Mitchell said. "We've got to come out ready and prepared. They've had some time off to lock in on us. We've got to come out there, fight and compete. It's going to be a good one. Let's go." Utah is on a six-game winning streak. Mitchell helped make that happen by igniting the Jazz with 12 points during a 22-0 fourth-quarter run against the Timberwolves on Friday. Consider that the Warriors are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Utah. |

01-01-22 | Clippers v. Nets -12 | 120-116 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One of the hardest-hit teams was the Brooklyn Nets, but they will be at relatively full strength Saturday night when they host the Los Angeles Clippers. Over the past two weeks, almost the entire Nets roster entered the protocol, forcing the team to scramble to fill roster spots and resulting in three postponements. Brooklyn's missing players included stars James Harden and Kevin Durant, who both made successful returns. The last player to clear the protocol was rookie Kessler Edwards, who was among those to fill in admirably when the Nets started losing players in mid-December. Harden is set to play his fourth game since returning. The star guard came back in immediately registered a triple-double of 36 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists in a 122-115 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Dec. 25. He followed that up on Monday with 39 points and 15 assists in a 124-108 win over the Clippers, and then he notched another triple-double Thursday with 33 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists in a 110-102 home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Consider that the Clippers are 9-19-1 ATS in their last 29 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. |

Rating: 2 Units Chicago won its sixth straight game on Friday in the first leg of a back-to-back set, beating the Indiana Pacers 108-106 in Indianapolis. DeMar DeRozan scored a game-high 28 points, five of which came in the game's final 36.4 seconds. DeRozan's 3-pointer as time expired extended the Bulls' longest winning streak of the season and pushed his own run of consecutive games scoring at least 20 points to 11. Since Dec. 19 -- which marked both DeRozan's first game back from a three-game absence due to COVID-19 health and safety protocol and the beginning of the Bulls' win streak -- he is averaging 28.5 points per game. Chicago's Coby White, who also returned from protocol at the start of the winning streak, matched a season-high with 24 points on Friday. Nikola Vucevic grabbed 16 rebounds to go with 14 points. Consider that the Bulls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss. |

Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Clippers can assure themselves of a winning three-game road trip Friday night when they face the Toronto Raptors, who are gradually returning to full strength. The Clippers opened their trip with a 91-82 victory Wednesday over the Boston Celtics, who were only 4-for-42 in 3-point attempts. "I just think playing a lot of zone got them out of their rhythm," Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. "I think that's what hurt them the most." The Raptors are coming off a 114-109 home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday that saw the return of Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr. and Malachi Flynn from COVID-19 protocol. Consider that the Raptors are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 2 days rest. |

12-31-21 | Bulls -4.5 v. Pacers | 108-106 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units COVID-19 has hit the Pacers, who will have to play this game without Malcolm Brogdon, Chris Duarte and Jeremy Lamb. When these two teams played Sunday, the Bulls won by eight points, but could have won by a lot more had Duarte not caught fire in the third quarter to help the Pacers at least stay somewhat in the game. The Bulls have scored at least 130 points in three of their last four games, and since most of the team has already had COVID, we don’t need to worry about any last-minute surprises. The Bulls could run away with this one. |

12-29-21 | Mavs v. Kings +2.5 | 94-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings will attempt to double up on Dallas, starting when they host the Mavericks in the opener of a three-day, two-game home set Wednesday night. The Kings will open the series on the second night of a back-to-back, having outlasted the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder 117-111 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak. They will also tangle with the Mavericks on Friday night. Dallas, which has opened a five-game trip with a loss at Utah and a win at Portland, will see a new-look Kings starting lineup that featured Marvin Bagley III against the Thunder. Bagley, who had started just one game previously this season, responded to a promotion from interim coach Alvin Gentry with nine points and 10 rebounds as part of one of the Kings' best team efforts of the season against the Thunder. Consider that Dallas is 7-21-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings. |

12-29-21 | Jazz -7 v. Blazers | 120-105 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating 2 Units The Utah Jazz and Portland Trail Blazers, who face each other Wednesday night in Rip City, handled adversity a bit differently in their most recent games. Playing without the injured Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz cruised to a 110-104 victory over the Spurs in San Antonio on Monday night. As he did in Mitchell's only other missed game this season, reigning Sixth Man of the Year Jordan Clarkson stepped up to fill in some of the offensive void with a team-high 23 points. He had 30 in Mitchell's previous miss. Rudy Gobert, whose three blocked shots moved him into the NBA's all-time top 50 in the category, led a Jazz defense that sparked Utah's win. Their defense was especially effective in the second quarter while holding the Spurs to 16 points to take a 10-point lead into halftime. Consider that Utah is 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. |

12-29-21 | Lakers +6 v. Grizzlies | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Memphis is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. While the Lakers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. |

12-29-21 | Lakers v. Grizzlies UNDER 226.5 | 99-104 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The under 6-2 in Lakers last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 22-8-2 in Lakers last 32 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While the under is 11-2 in the last 13 meetings and 8-0 in the last 8 meetings in Memphis. |

12-28-21 | Cavs -5.5 v. Pelicans | 104-108 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Cavaliers are full of crazy stats this season on the wagering side of things. They are 25-7-1 ATS, including 12-4 ATS on the road. To add one more sparkling stat to the pile, they are 9-0 ATS as favorites. That could spell trouble for the Pelicans, especially with Brandon Ingram (Achilles) listed as doubtful and Nickeil Alexander-Walker in the health and safety protocols. |

12-28-21 | Lakers v. Rockets OVER 224 | 132-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets had mostly sidestepped COVID-related issues prior to Monday. They played without six rotation players after D.J. Augustin, Kenyon Martin Jr., Garrison Mathews and Jae'Sean Tate all entered health and safety protocols in advance of a 123-99 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Houston also played without its starting backcourt of Kevin Porter Jr. (thigh) and rookie Jalen Green (rest) while taking a fourth consecutive loss, but both should be available Tuesday. Still, the Rockets were forced to lean on a pair of G-League call-ups (Trevelin Queen and Daishen Nix), while three other rookies logged significant minutes in the loss to the Hornets. Queen put up a team-best 17 points after never scoring more than two in an NBA game previously. Consider that the over is 11-1 in Rockets last 12 games playing on 0 days rest. |

12-28-21 | Cavs v. Pelicans OVER 212 | 104-108 | Push | 0 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Cleveland Cavaliers dominated the depleted Toronto Raptors on Sunday night. The Cavs likely will face another short-handed team when they visit the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Cleveland overcame COVID-19 absences of its own to beat the Raptors -- who were missing 10 players due to COVID -- 144-99 in Cleveland. Toronto was missing its top five scorers, all of whom were in the NBA's health and safety protocols. The Raptors had just four players from their regular roster available. Cleveland gained its most lopsided victory of the season despite having seven players in the health and safety protocols, including Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley. Consider that the Over is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings in New Orleans. |

12-27-21 | Mavs v. Blazers | 132-117 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Getting Lillard's sidekick, CJ McCollum, back would help, especially with a rugged schedule ahead. After seeing the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers will face the Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat in their next four games. The good news is McCollum could see action in at least some of those games. The club announced over the weekend that he will be re-evaluated this week in hopes that he'll be cleared to play after suffering a collapsed lung earlier in the month. He has missed the last eight games. The Trail Blazers also are without five players in the league's medical protocols, including Robert Covington, who played 31 minutes in the loss at New Orleans. The teams will meet for the first time this season. The home team has lost four of the last five meetings in the series, with the Mavericks prevailing 132-92 on a trip to Portland last March, when Doncic outscored Lillard 37-19. Consider that the Trail Blazers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 3 or more days rest. |

12-27-21 | Jazz -6.5 v. Spurs | 110-104 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jazz head to San Antonio after their 120-116 victory over Dallas on Christmas Day. Mitchell led Utah with 33 points, his ninth 30-point game of the season. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 25 points, Mike Conley hit for 22, and Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gobert added 12 and 10 points, respectively, in the victory. Gobert also grabbed 11 rebounds for the Jazz, who have won three straight games and 11 of their past 13 outings over the past month. Utah dominated the COVID-compromised Mavericks, who just didn't have the firepower to keep up late in the game. The Jazz have not lost a player to coronavirus this season. Consider that the Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. |

12-27-21 | Bulls -5.5 v. Hawks | 130-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bulls will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set with Lonzo Ball (COVID-19) and Alex Caruso (foot) both out. That’s not exactly ideal. However, they are in tremendously better shape than the Hawks, who could be missing 10 players in the health and safety protocols. The biggest names who aren’t expected to play are Trae Young, John Collins and Danilo Gallinari. The Bulls could run away with this one. |

12-26-21 | Nuggets v. Clippers +4.5 | 103-100 | Win | 100 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The loss to the Hornets was Denver's second straight and a tough one to take. The Nuggets led by 19 in the third quarter and 17 at the start of the fourth but were outscored 38-13 in the final 12 minutes. Denver is just 5-6 in the month and is feeling the absence of several players. Jamal Murray has not played yet, Michael Porter Jr. had back surgery and will miss the rest of the year and several players have been in and out of the lineup recently. Aaron Gordon missed Thursday's game, and rookie Bones Hyland has been battling ankle issues. Hyland gutted out 14 minutes after rolling his right ankle on Wednesday night in Oklahoma City but had just three points. Consider that Denver is 6-16 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. |

12-26-21 | Pacers v. Bulls -7.5 | 105-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers missed the postseason with a 34-38 record last year, after playing in NINE of the previous 10. The Pacers opened 1-6 and will enter this Christmas Day game in Chicago at 14-19, two games out of the "Play In" cut line. The Bulls were 31-41 last season, missing the postseason for the FOURTH consecutive year. However, the Bulls have reinvented themselves as a threat in the Eastern Conference behind Zach LaVine and the free-agent signing of DeMar DeRozan. They also picked up center Nikola Vucevic from Orlando last season (where his talents were wasted) plus added Lonzo Ball as a free agent. Like many other teams in recent weeks, the Bulls have had severe COVID issues but still enter this contest 19-10, battling 22-13 Milwaukee for the Central Division lead. The Bulls currently hold down the No. 2 seed in the East. |

12-26-21 | Pelicans +1.5 v. Thunder | Top | 112-117 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day After not having much success in tight games over the first part of the season, the New Orleans Pelicans have turned their fortunes around during their current four-game winning streak. Over the Pelicans' first 29 games, they were just 1-9 in "clutch" games -- games where the score is within five points in the final five minutes. But starting with New Orleans' 113-110 win in Oklahoma City on Dec. 15, a game decided by Devonte' Graham's 61-foot shot at the buzzer, the Pelicans are 3-0 in such games. Today, New Orleans tries to keep its momentum going with a return trip to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in Oklahoma City. The Thunder are coming off a 113-101 loss Thursday in Phoenix. Consider that OKC is 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. |

12-26-21 | 76ers v. Wizards +3.5 | 117-96 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units For the Philadelphia 76ers to be successful, Joel Embiid must play at an ultra-high level every night. Anything less and the Sixers can be defeated -- especially with a shorthanded roster due mostly to health and safety protocols. Philadelphia dropped a 98-96 decision to the depleted Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. The 76ers will look to rebound on Sunday against the host Washington Wizards. Embiid recorded 23 points and 10 rebounds before missing a potential game-tying jumper at the buzzer against the Hawks. Clearly, the Sixers need more. The Sixers currently have four players in health and safety protocols -- Danny Green, Georges Niang, Andre Drummond and Shake Milton. It's unclear if any of them will be cleared to face the Wizards. Consider that Philadelphia is 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 0-9 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. |

12-25-21 | Warriors v. Suns -6.5 | 116-107 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Warriors will be without Jordan Poole, who had 28 points in the loss at Phoenix, and Andrew Wiggins, who contributed 19 to the home win, due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Meanwhile, the Suns will have leading scorer Devin Booker, who suffered a hamstring strain in the second quarter of the first meeting and sat out the rest of the win, as well as the Suns' next seven games, including the rematch with the Warriors. Booker has gotten more productive by the game in his three outings since returning to the lineup last Sunday, scoring 16, 24 and then 30 points in Thursday's 113-101 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Cam Johnson is among the Suns happy with the holiday scheduling, including the early start. Consider that Phoenix is |

12-25-21 | Celtics v. Bucks -6.5 | 113-117 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks received an early Christmas present in the form of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo clearing the NBA's health and safety protocols on Friday. However, Antetokounmpo's status remains up in the air for Milwaukee's Christmas Day showdown against the visiting Boston Celtics on Saturday afternoon. With Antetokounmpo sidelined for a fifth straight game in COVID-19 protocols Thursday, the Bucks pulled out a 102-95 road win against a Dallas Mavericks squad playing without superstar Luka Doncic. Khris Middleton finished with 26 points and seven assists and Jrue Holiday had 24 points while dishing out seven helpers to pace Milwaukee. Recently signed center DeMarcus Cousins contributed 22 points and eight rebounds. It was the Bucks' second straight win and third in five games without Antetokounmpo. Whether or not Milwaukee has its star back in time to face Boston in the nationally televised showdown, the Bucks remain a confident bunch. Consider that Boston is 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |

12-22-21 | Nuggets -6.5 v. Thunder | 94-108 | Loss | -103 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is the first game of a back-to-back set for the Thunder, who have been notorious with regards to resting players in such situations. There have been no reports of anyone sitting out yet, but that could change as the day moves along. Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets could dominate this matchup, even if the Thunder are at full strength, so I’ll jump on this now. |

12-22-21 | Cavs +5.5 v. Celtics | 101-111 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cleveland won't have Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley or Isaac Okoro, but this line still feels steep. The Cavs have won six in a row and covered 14 straight. They were favored in their previous five games. Inconsistent Boston also is missing some frontcourt stalwarts and is just 5-7 ATS as a home favorite. Grab the points. |

12-21-21 | Pistons +8 v. Knicks | 91-105 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pistons finally broke their 14-game losing streak with a win over the Heat on Sunday. While they did lose 14 in a row, eight of those losses were by nine or fewer points. When the Pistons have been underdogs by between eight and 11 points this season, they are 6-1 ATS. The Knicks are dealing with an outbreak of COVID-19 that has them shorthanded, and they have lost eight of their last 10 games. While I think the Knicks win this matchup, I think the Pistons can keep things relatively close. |

12-20-21 | Rockets +7.5 v. Bulls | 118-133 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston is clicking offensively and visits a short-handed Bulls team that gutted out a five-point win over the Lakers on Sunday. DeMar DeRozan could certainly go off for 38 like he did Sunday but Chicago is struggling defensively, which should keep this competitive. Back the Rockets to cover for the ninth time in their last 11 games as underdogs. |

Rating: 2 Units The Trail Blazers finally broke their seven-game losing streak with a win over the Hornets on Friday. That win came at home. They have been awful on the road, posting a 2-10 record there ATS. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies have won 10 of their last 11 games with all 10 wins coming by at least seven points. Look for them to keep rolling here. |

12-18-21 | Warriors v. Raptors -8.5 | 100-119 | Win | 100 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Warriors are basically punting this game. After playing Friday, they have decided to rest Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter Jr. and Andre Iguodala. That’s in addition to Jordan Poole being in the health and safety protocols. They are going to have a difficult time generating points with the likes of Damion Lee, Gary Payton Jr. and Nemanja Bjelica leading the way. |
