09-11-20 | Celtics v. Raptors +3 | Top | 92-87 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
Boston vs Toronto 9:00 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- The well balanced Boston Celtics in the back of their minds have to be thinking 'what if' that miracle shot that won Game 3 fell short. Instead of a commanding 3-0 lead the Celtics now find themselves 3-3 and in a do-or-die game. Kemba Walker had one of his worst nights of the season and still it took Toronto two overtimes to defeat Boston to tie the series. Karma is a bitch...take CLIPPERS! |

09-11-20 | Nuggets +8 v. Clippers | 111-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Denver vs L.A. Clippers 6:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Clippers- No. 3 seed Denver is once again down 3-1 in a playoff series and most regroup immediately for the series to continue. The Nuggets need to get off to a quick start as the trailed the entire game in the last meeting. The Clippers are where they expected to be and are anxious to play in the Western Finals and will be playing with confidence and the knowledge that they have some leeway with a 3-1 in games advantage, Take NUGGETS! |

09-10-20 | Texans v. Chiefs -9 | 20-34 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Houston at Kansas City 8:20 ET Chiefs (-) over Texans- Kansas City returns 17 of 22 starters and that is very unusual for a Super Bowl Champions as player develop big egos and believe the 'grass is greener' elsewhere. Of course the storyline in this meetings goes back to their last meetings when the Texans blew a 24-0 lead in the playoffs and were destroyed 51-31. Normally one would think that this is a 'big' number considering Houston was a playoff team slat season but Jim O'Brien has a way up coming up short. Sure he has Deshaun Watson but what he as GM has done to the roster is like blood letting. He's killing this team softly with his actions. The best I can say about this matchup is that the road team is 9-3 ATS so these two do play tough against each other but tonight it won't matter. Take KANSAS CITY! |

09-10-20 | UAB +14.5 v. Miami-FL | 14-31 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
U-AB at Miami-Fl 8:00 ET Blazers (+) over Hurricanes- There are many questions surrounding this Miami Hurricane team that has been turmoil for nearly a decade. From campus shootings gang rapes and other egregious offensive Miami jettisoned their coach and handed the reins to Marc Reich who returned to his amalgamate only to leave a year later. But, shooting and criminal offensives are down and so are the wins. Under first year head coach the Canes dropped their final three and closed the season 6-7. UAB who was out of NCAA football a few years ago was 9-5 last season losing it's final two games the final in the championship game. This year is UAB that has lost a player to a shooting as linebacker Allen Merrick was a life that mattered. This season they opened with a 45-35 win over C. Arkansas. With a game under their belt would gravitate toward the Blazers but their is an X-factor that I have yet to mention. Transfer D'Eriq King accounted for 50 touchdowns 36 passing and 14 running with the Houston Cougars and is now behind center for Miami. Even with King until I see a more disciplined Miami team that has more fight than dog in it I'm taking the points! Take BLAZERS! |

L.A. Lakers vs Houston 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- When looking at this series I get the feeling that the :Lakers are blowing Houston out, but that's not the case as the series is just 2-1 LA and today is Game 4. Houston hasn't changed much in recent seasons they will try and out-run you and out gun you and when they are on they are tough to beat. The problems with shooting teams is the streaks they incur. All that goes by the wayside while Rockets play the Lakers as they dominated L.A. in recent years and are 17-10 ATS in the last 27 meetings and the Lakers are 6-10 ATS as favorites and just 6-11 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Take HOUSTON! |

09-09-20 | Clippers -8 v. Nuggets | 96-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers vs Denver 9:00 ET Clippers (-) over Nuggets- The difference in this series for the Nuggets compared to their last series against Utah is Jamal Murray. Against the Jazz Murray posted games with 50,42 and 50 points in three straight games but as of now he has scored 17 or less in three of four games with a low of 12 points in Game 1 of this series. L.A is 7-3 ATS as favorites and 17-8 ATS overall in their last 25. Take CLIPPERS! |

09-09-20 | Raptors +3.5 v. Celtics | Top | 125-122 | Win | 100 | 8 h 22 m | Show |
Toronto vs Boston 6:30 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- The well balanced Boston Celtics are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals and the Raptors find themselves in the same position as last season, down 3-2 in a seven game series. Both these clubs have been great all season long and trends say that both of these clubs are worthy of a wager. Even with Serge Ibaka in a walking boot the Raptors will be all in. So take TORONTO! |

Houston vs L.A. Lakers 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Houston who has not had the respect of NBA pundits who just don't believe in 'small ball' and little respect for any team that doesn't play much defense. All that goes by the wayside while Rockets play the Lakers as they dominated L.A. in recent years and are 17-9 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Houston is 5-2 ATS in their last seven as underdogs and the Lakers are 5-10 ATS as favorites and just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Take HOUSTON! |

09-08-20 | Heat v. Bucks +4 | 103-94 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Milwaukee vs Miami 3:30 ET Bucks (+) over Heat- The NBA's No. 1 seed is still on the brink of elimination as Milwaukee just hasn't lived up to expectations once again in the NBA playoffs. Last season the Bucks were ousted by Toronto after taking a 2-0 series lead and this time around the have shown their weakness. What is their weakness...Giannis Antetokounmpo. The League MVP and Defensive Player of the Year just can shoot beyond the arc. He was exposed in the 2019 playoffs as a poor 3-point shooter and this year has been even worse. Giannis who's 3-point shooting is 3-14 has left too much slack. With virtually no shot at winning this series the Bucks can play relaxed and I expect more from them today. Take MILWAUKEE! |

09-07-20 | BYU v. Navy +1 | Top | 55-3 | Loss | -104 | 19 h 45 m | Show |
B.Y.U. at Navy 8:00 ET Midshipman (+) over Cougars- As always there are a number of ways to approach any game as there is here. BYU has one of the more prolific NCAA passers in Zach Wilson who has thrown for 3,960 yards in two seasons the second of which he missed significant time due to injury. Navy of course is a ground game school (go figure) and led the nation with 360 yards per game in 2019 but now they will be without Malcom Perry who ran for 2017 yards of an overall 3,700 team yards rushing. It won't matter and I'll tell you why after I slip this in. Navy is 7-1 ATS in their last eight at home and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 16 overall and add that the Cougars are 0-7 ATS in their last seven as favorites, but those are not the sole reason 'we' should have the Middies. You know, during the COVID time and even without it the Navy does not take days off. They are together all year long, this is a job, it is their service and they are in sync and have an early season advantage over the others. And by the way, if the line moves Navy is 20-8 ATS at home as favorites..Take NAVY! |

09-07-20 | Celtics v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 111-89 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 2 m | Show |
Boston vs Toronto 6:30 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- I can't help but think the Celtics had in their minds that they were leading this series 3-0...and then OG Anunoby changed the playoffs gods over to his side and Boston has been sunk ever since and they know it. How's that sound...we have seen it happen. I could support my instincts with more fodder and stats but they won't matter in the 'Bubble'. So take TORONTO! |

All that goes by the wayside while Rockets play the Lakers as they dominated L.A. in recent years and are 17-8 ATS in the last 25 meetings. Houston is 5-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs and the Lakers are 4-10 ATS as favorites and just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Take HOUSTON! |

09-05-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers -9 | 110-101 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 24 m | Show | |
Denver vs L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Clippers- I have already heard that this series is history and that Denver won't win a single game. Well, they were the No. 3 seed in the West and have to ability to bounce back after a loss as they are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 games following a straight-up loss. The Clippers are most likely destined to make the Western Conference Finals for a showdown with the Lakers and are 9-2 ATS playing teams with winning records. L.A. shot 57.1% while Denver was at 42.2% and they should bothy move toward the c enter with that. It's not that I think the Clippers are taking anything for granted because they have yet to win anything. But, the Nuggets should come to play. Take DENVER! |

09-04-20 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 100-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Milwaukee vs Miami 6:30 ET Bucks (-) over Heat- Having had the Heat in both Games 1 & 2 I feel comfortable switching sides in Game 3. Playing against Miami might not be the wisest though I've had as they are 6-0 both ATS and straight-up in the playoffs and have won 10 of 11 overall in the playoffs and are 6-1 over the Bucks in the last seven meetings. Okay, that's all well and good but the way Milwaukee closed last years playoffs blowing a 2-0 games lead over Toronto and having the media whisper that maybe, just maybe Giannis Antetokounmpo isn't a 'big game' player. Well, Milwaukee finished with the best recored in the NBA and it's time for them to measure up against the Heat. Take the BUCKS! |

Toronto vs Boston 5:30 ET Celtics (+) over Toronto- The Raptors had the best 'regular' season finish in the 'bubble' coming away with seven wins in eight games and then went out and swept (4-0) Brooklyn before getting run over by the Celtics in Game 1. Now, it is Boston that is streaking having won six straight and 10 of 11 and are 21-8 ATS as underdogs. Toronto is 24-10-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS loss and 8-4 ATS following a straight-up loss and are going down again tonight. Take BOSTON! |

Oklahoma City vs Houston 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- Oklahoma City has been the most pleasant surprise this NBA season and they have shown resiliency coming back from an 0-2 deficit and then again winning game 6 when facing elimination. The Thunder are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 games as underdogs. Houston on the flip side is just 2-5 ATS as favorites and 3-8 ATS following a straight-up loss. Today the Rockets respond! Take HOUSTON! |

09-02-20 | Heat +5 v. Bucks | 116-114 | Win | 100 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Miami vs Milwaukee 6:30 ET Heat (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee seems to have a habit of losing the first game of playoff series that has put them in a hole to start with before. They were able to rebound against Orlando after dropping game one but this time their opponent has leg up on the Bucks as Miami plays well against them going 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Miami gets ready for Conference Semifinal games going 29-13 ATS over the years and are 5-0 ATS in the playoffs. The 'Greek Freak' once again is feeling playoff pressure taking only 12 shots and committing six turnovers. Take the HEAT! |

Houston vs Oklahoma City 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets-This is strictly a home-and-home series with which ever team is designated to wear their home colors is the winner and has been the case in all five playoff meetings. These two had closed the regular season meetings with the Thunder having a five-game win and cover streak. This game should play toward the 'number' as Houston is just 2-5 ATS in their last s even games after scoring 100 the previous game while the Thunder is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 game following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points. Take OKLAHOMA CITY |

08-31-20 | Heat +5.5 v. Bucks | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Miami vs Milwaukee 6:30 ET Heat (+) over Bucks- Miami won both regular season meetings until they met in the 'Bubble' when the Bucks prevailed 130-116 as the Heat's Jimmy Butler sat out. These two met March 2nd in Miami once during the regular season and the Bucks were favored (-5) so now playing in a neutral site they price hasn't moved. The Heat were affected by the quick NBA boycott as they had already swept the Pacers. Advantage Miami and as Conference Semi-finals they are 28-18-1 ATS while the Bucks are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight-up win. Take MIAMI! |

Utah now has a 3-2 series lead but are still 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Jazz who have come alive are just 4-17-2 ATS in their last 23 games as favorites while the Nuggets are not any better as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games after an ATS win. Denver entered the 6th seed and Utah the 3rd seed and will leave it all on the floor here as they face elimination. Take the NUGGETS! |

08-30-20 | Celtics +2 v. Raptors | Top | 112-94 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show |
Boston vs Toronto 6:30 ET Celtics (+) over Raptors- The Raptors helped as a Power Play winner over Brooklyn 150-122 and defeated the Nets by 82 points in their four game sweep. Boston swept Philadelphia 4-0 but not necessarily in such dominating fashion. I rarely have problems thing about playing 'against' any team that scores 150 points in a night. The competition near is much tougher and better seasoned than the Nets. The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 15-5 ATS as underdogs. Toronto is still NBA Champs and they are 6-2 ATS in right playoff games as the favorite. But today...it's BOSTON! Thank you and Good Luck! |

L.A. Lakers vs Portland 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- Well, the Lakers rolled over the Blazers in Game 4 but before that game many thought Portland had a shot to knock the Lakers out of the playoffs. Portland has given Los Angeles fits over the years going 47-23 ATS in the last 70 regular season meetings. But, this is the playoffs and the Lakers got their 'wakeup' call in Game 1 which was their sixth straight ATS loss to the Blazers and they came alive for Games 2, 3 and 4 and they aren't stopping here. Damian Lillard is out and the line will be inflated. But, what bothers me is that their were just two teams that voted to cancel the rest of the Playoffs and The Lakers were one of them. I wonder if their hearts will be in it? Take the BLAZERS |

08-29-20 | Thunder +5 v. Rockets | Top | 80-114 | Loss | -103 | 21 h 49 m | Show |
Houston vs Oklahoma City 6:30 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- As I said last time out the Rockets hot shooting would taper off and it did in Game 4. The question here is has Houston recovered enough after having fallen off with their 3-point shooting. OKC had won five straight in the series until these playoffs and it seems Houston has been saving it all up for this but the Thunder responded with a win in Games 3 & 4 and have evened the series. As I said before this game will show which club has more character. I don't believe that simply changing uniforms without the benefit of a home crown cheering for you makes much difference although the listed home team has won all four. Ha! The Thunder were one of the league's biggest surprises this season and had the best ATS record in the NBA and with desperate times at hand they will respond. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

08-29-20 | Magic +13.5 v. Bucks | 104-118 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
Milwaukee vs Orlando 4:00 ET Magic (+) over Bucks- The Bucks made short work of the Magic in Games 3 and 4 and were aroused after their Game-1 loss a 25-point ATS loss. Orlando is 5-1 ATS after a double-digit loss but just 1-5 ATS in their last six as underdogs. Milwaukee's Khris Middleton was been invisible the first three games but came alive last time out. The Magic may disappear from the Playoffs after tonight be they will go down swinging. Take ORLANDO! |

Dallas vs L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Clippers (-) over Mavericks- The Mavericks Luca Doncic at 21 years of age put on one of the most dominating playoff performances that are drawing him comparisons to Larry Bird as his 43 points, 17 rebounds and 13 assists along with his winning buzzer beater pushed Dallas over the hump. Kristaps Porzingis sat out Game 4 which set Doncic free and his status in day-to-day. The Mavs have difficulty posting back-to-back wins as they are 1-5 ATS after a straight-up win and just 2-6 ATS in their;last eight meetings. L.A. On the other hand is 20-6 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take the CLIPPERS! |

The Jazz who have come alive are just 4-16-2 ATS in their last 22 games as favorites while the Nuggets are not any better as they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after an ATS win.

L.A.

They have given Los Angeles fits over the years going 47-23 ATS in the last 70 regular season meetings. But, this is the playoffs and the Lakers got their 'wakeup' call in Game 1 which was their sixth straight ATS loss to the Blazers and came alive for Games 2 & 3 winners for us. Lillard isn't hurting enough to be stopped and LA will have to scratch their way out of this one. Take the TRAILBLAZERS!! |

Indiana vs Miami 6:30 ET Heat (-) over Pacers- Indiana has given it the good 'old college try' but injuries have taken the blood and guts out of this team. Entering this series the Pacers actually had a better record than Miami but they don't look like they belong on the same floor especially on offense. Although Indiana is tough going 6-2 ATS after a straight-up loss, they are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six games as playoff underdogs. The Heat are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and 5-0 ATS in their last five playoff games as favorites. Take MIAMI! |

Denver vs Utah 4:00 ET Here's a team that has had defensive issues all season now have problem with they are beat at and that is shooting the ball. The Nuggets have fallen behind early and then have difficulty finding their rhythm after the slow start. Rudy Gobert has taken over with his power game and Denver doesn't seem to have an answer. Utah has 'covered' the number in the past two victories by 59 points but had dropped four straight to Denver before this current two-game domination. After the way the Nuggets were steamrolled the past two contests makes me believe if that have any professionalism at all baring injury they will be ready to play.Take DENVER! |

Toronto vs Brooklyn 1:30 ET Nets (+) over Raptors- Brooklyn has shown the Raptors that they can play and Toronto is taking nothing for granted as they look to prove last season was no fluke. The Raptors like the spacing of games as they are 44-20 ATS on one day's rest and they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13. The Nets have played themselves well with one day's rest going 16-6 ATS but are just 1-6 in last seven playoff games as underdogs but with show up today as the Raptors coast. Take BROOKLYN! |

Despite that win the Clippers are just 3-7 ATS as playoff favorites and that about the worst I can say about them...really. The trends supporting LA here is very compelling and the Mavericks trends will make you turn away. But, with or without Doncic coach Rick Carlisle will keep them prepared. Take DALLAS! |

Has been consistent in as much that them bounce back from defeat as they are 19-7 after an ATS loss and more impressively are 8-1 ATS after bad loss of over 10 points. But, after Porzingis was thrown out of Game one overtime loss the Mavericks came together. Take DALLAS! |

Boston vs Philadelphia 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- It really doesn't look the 76ers can play with Boston in this series. Joel Embiid is a one man gang but that hasn't been enough as they have dropped the first two scoring 101 points in both losses. The Sixers bench has not picked up the slack left since Ben Simmons went down but I expect more from them in Game 3. Philly is 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

The fact that it has been Portland that has given Los Angeles its biggest trouble over the years as they hold a 47-22 ATS advantage in the last 69 meetings. But, playoff action hasn't been kind to the Trailblazers as they are 11-26-2 ATS in their last 39 Conference Quarterfinal games. The Lakers are 0-6 ATS in their last six including the last five in the bubble. It's time to rise and shine. Take the LAKERS! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Orlando vs Milwaukee 6:00 ET Bucks (-) over Magic- The Magic preformed a trick in Game 1 that few though possible as they un set the league's No. 1 seed 122-110. Orlando scored Milwaukee in every offensive category as the Bucks just didn't have the fire needed to win in the NBA. The Magic have been playing well and are 7-2 as underdogs and 13-5 ATS in their last 18 overall. But, Milwaukee is 5-0 ATS after a double-digit loss and 9-4 ATS as playoff favorites. Add that they are 31-14 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the BUCKS! Thank You and Good Luck! |

Oklahoma City vs Houston 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- Houston did their thing in Game 1 taking 52 3-point shots and when they are falling they are difficult to beat. The surprising Thunder weren't expected to be where they are at this time and will be ready for the Rockets who the have defeated five of the last six meetings. OKC has been under-rated all season and is 41-20 ATS in their last 61 games as underdogs and 10-2 ATS following a loss of 10 points. Houston is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as favorites and 4-9 after scoring more than 100 points. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Philadelphia vs Boston 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- The Celtics were able to pull off a Game 1 win by outscoring the 76ers 34-20 after falling behind 81-75 early in the fourth quarter. That was Boston's second win in five tries against Philadelphia who will once again be without Ben Simmons while the Celts lost the services of Gordon Hayward who went down with a bad ankle sprain. The point spread trends are heavy on Boston but the Sixers need to show up here. Take PHILADELPHIA! There is a transmission issue...take PHILADELPHIA |

Portland vs L.A. Lakers 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- While Portland was scratching and clawing for their play-in opportunity the Lakers guaranteed the No 1 seed in the West played uninspired ball with numerous players 'resting' as they lost four of their final five. The Trailblazers have had an emotional run during the restart that will drain their energy. They don't have a glorious playoff record as they are 4-9-1 ATS as a playoff underdog and just 10-26-2 ATS in 38 Conference Quarterfinal games. But, Portland does come to play when the Lakers are their opponent as they are 46-22 ATS in the last 68 meetings overall and that a good size sample. The Los Angeles 'numbers' are all negative as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 after a 10-point loss. Playing possum...we will see. Take the LAKERS! If this message is garbled play is LAKERS! |

Miami vs Indiana 4:00 ET Pacers (+) over Heat- This is like one of those NCAA seeding deals where one team is ranked above another and yet they show up as an underdog when they meet. Well, Indiana finished 1-game ahead of the Heat yet on a neutral site they are rated the underdogs. Granted they are only one game apart and that is why this game should be closer to a pick-em. When I see the Pacers are 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings I begin to wonder what going on. Maybe because the Heat are 22-8 ATS after a straight-up loss and 31-15-2 ATS after an ATS loss. But, hey Indiana has something to cheer about as they are 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 overall. Take the PACERS! Take MIAMI! |

Dallas vs L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- Dallas who is 3-5 in Orlando enters this fray off two losses while the Clippers were 5-3 winning their last two. The Mavericks are a team that draws a lot of attention as they sparkle on the court at times but don't always deliver in pressure situations as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as playoff underdogs and just 3-8 in their last 11 in Conference Quarterfinals. L.A. is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings including a 126-111 win in Orlando and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as favorites. But, there is one glaring negative trend that should be addressed as the Clippers are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 playoff game as favorites. Mavericks worth the ride...take DALLAS! If you CAN NOT read the above it is a transmission error...Take DALLAS. |

Philadelphia vs Boston 3:30 ET Celtics 76ers – The way these two came into this game may be the telling a tale one way or another. Philadelphia was 4-4 during the restart losing three straight before closing by crushing Houston a club missing all their firepower. The Sixers of course will be without Ben Simmons but that just gives Joel Embiid more room to roam. Boston was 5-3 in Orlando and totally laid down in their final game getting beat by the winless (0-7) Wizards. That scares me is I believe the Celtics will be ready to play and I have doubts about the Sixers after routing the Rockets on the final day as they are 0-6 following a win of 10-points or greater. But, Philly is 4-1 ATS as playoff underdogs but are just 5-12 ATS in the last 17 meetings with Boston. The Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 Conference Quarterfinal games. Tough call but the public sentiment and money is on the Celtics. In a surprise. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Raptors (-) over Nets- The reigning NBNA champs showed that they are ready for the real deal going 7-1 in the 'bubble' but I see plenty of Nets 'action' here. As well I should as they are 5-0 ATS in the last five as underdogs. The Raptors are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games overfall and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 in NBA Playoff Conference Quarterfinal action. Usually there will be one blowout in opening games and I just hope this is the one. Take TORONTO! |

Memphis vs Portland 2:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Trailblazers- Portland has gone 6-2 in Florida while the Grizzlies lost their first four and then split the final four so they were 2-6 SU. This is a curious playoff situation as the Trailblazers only have two win one of a possible pair of games while Memphis must win both game to advance. It would be the other way around as these two met in the opening of the restart and Memphis blew a huge lead and lost in OT 140-135 otherwise the Blazers would be the one needing to win twice. Portland is 6-13-1 vARTS when playing a sub-500 team and like an old friend once said to me I can win twice and lose only once if I play the team facing elimination. Take MEMPHIS! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Houston vs Sacramento 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Rockets- I like Houston in this little shoot-around of eight games before it all hits the fan. They are 3-1 since the restart including a Megabucks win for us over the Lakers last time out. Sacramento is seeded last and has lost four of five and are certainly out of it and could only be a spoiler. The Rockets are pretty much locked into the third seed and are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games as favorites while the Kings are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games as underdogs. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Philadelphia vs Portland 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Trailblazers- The media types are going crazy as they believe that the 76ers are in trouble now that Ben Simmons is out. What they should realize is that Philadelphia plays better when either Simmons or Joel Embiid are out. The floor just may not be big enough for both of them to be on it at the same time. Portland's loss to the Clippers yesterday leaves them a half-game ahead of San Antonio and Phoenix for the final play-in berth. The Blazers are 5-11-1 ATS when playing on one days rest. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

San Antonio vs New Orleans 3:30 ET Pelicans (-) over Spurs- San Antonio must win there remaining three games to get into the NBA Playoffs for a record 23rd consecutive season and even if they do the numbers just don't add up. Memphis who admittedly is in poor shape needs win just one of their remaining three games to eliminated the Spurs and the Trailblazers already have two more wins. The Pelicans had great momentum before the break but the shortened schedule an injuries have taken them down a peg. Spurs are 2-8 ATS playing on one day's rest while New Orleans takes advantage of weaker teams as they are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games against teams with losing records. Take the PELICANS! |

The grizzlies thought the restart schedule put them in an unfavorable position with their close competitors getting an easier ride. Regardless they must win now against one of the NBA's biggest surprises in OKC who just destroyed the Lakers 105-86. I expect a bit of a lull tonight and for the Grizzlies to growl. Take MEMPHIS! |

Milwaukee is coming off of a loss to the Nets as a 19-point favorite while Miami rose to the occasion as a Megabucks winner last time out defeating the Celtics. This brings the Heat record to 8-23-1 ATS in their last 32 games following a straight-up win.

Georgetown has won both meetings this season and the fact that I believe that the Red Storm are a better overall club, I'll take. ST. JOHNS! |

North Carolina vs. Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tar Heels- This ACC match-up has a surprising twist in that North Carolina is seeded 14 in a play-in game in their own conference tournament. Virginia Tech seeded 11 enters a game over the break-even mark (16-15) while the Tar Heels are at 13-18 on the season. The Hokies have lost eight of their last 10 while Carolina is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 overall. What bothers me here is that Tech not only has the better record but they have defeated the Tar Heels 79-77 in overtime as a 7-point favorite already this season. Now, UNC is favored and they have struggled in that role going 4-14 ATS and the underdog is 6-2 ATS in the past eight meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Houston at Charlotte 5:00 ET Hornets (+) over Rockets- The big question here is, what are the Rockets going to do with the small-ball they are trying to institute into the game. The results have been inconsistent as Houston seems to beat anybody with their regular line-up but falter against the better teams when playing their 'new' version of the game. An even against the feeble they struggle on the board where the Knicks defeated them and out-rebounded them 64-34. Houston is 2-8 ATS on their last 10 as road favorites and the Hornets are 4-0 ATS in their lAst four home games. Take CHARLOTTE! |
