LA Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Clippers (+) over 76ers- Tonight finishes a 14 day seven game home stand for Philadelphia and they have won all six covering five time. The started against the Lakers and will end it against the Clippers tonight. LA has won their last two as they are starting to get healthy and have played tough through their adversary. Joel Embiid leads the NBA in scoring and appears to be on that MVP mission and stated that he’s finally apply to see that the 76ers will be playing on Christmas day so he can showcase his talents to the world. But, that is Sunday...take LA CLIPPERS! |

12-22-22 | Spurs +8.5 v. Pelicans | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
San Antonio at New Orleans 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Pelicans- Things are taking a down turn of late for the Pelicans as they have lost their last four and will be without Zion Williamson tonight. This is the third meeting of the season and the Spurs lost them by 19 and 18 points and they will meet one more time in March. San Antonio is 9-4 ATS after a SU win and despite the two losses this year are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Pels 2-6 ATS playing on two days rest. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

12-21-22 | USC v. Colorado State +3 | Top | 73-64 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
Colorado State vs Southern California 11:00 ET Rams (+) over Trojans- As their coach stated ‘this is our biggest win of the year by far.’ Comments that make me think that USC must really be full of themselves after their 74-71 victory over No. 19 Auburn. If the Trojans continue to think of how great a win they had last time out they will get ambushed this time at home against Colorado State. On the other end of the spectrum the Rams were defeated earlier this season by Northern Colorado who was rated No. 207. CSU is off a 62-60 win at St. Mary’s (not as easy to do as you might think. This number is way too low and I won’t be surprised of the Rams win on the floor. Take COLORADO STATE! |

12-21-22 | Auburn -3.5 v. Washington | Top | 84-61 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Auburn at Washington 11:00 ET Tigers (-) over Huskies- Auburn started the season 8-0 but have dropped 2-of-3 as the competition got tougher as they lost to Memphis and in their first road game to USC Sunday. It was one of those games where even a 32-19 rebounding edge over the Trojans didn’t help as 23 turnovers were key. The Huskies have played two games against real competitors and lost them both to Gonzaga and Oregon State. The Tigers lead the nation in blocked shots averaging an incredible 7.5 blocks. The cream rises and the tigers bite the Huskies. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
12-21-22 | Notre Dame -1 v. Florida State | 72-73 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Notre Dame at Florida State 8:30 ET Fighting Irish over Seminoles- The Fighting Irish are coming off back-to-back losses and are looking for their first ACC win of the season. Notre Dame has five starters that average double figures but its defense has been spotty as they rank 222 in points allowed. Florida State has had numerous injuries that have force them to play small ball. The trouble with that is this is not baseball where it can work as they are No. 335 in rebounds per game averaging just 29.2. ND is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games while Florida State is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 games following a loss. Take NOTRE DAME! |

12-21-22 | Raptors +2 v. Knicks | Top | 113-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Toronto at New York 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Knicks- So here we have the hottest team in the NBA the New York Knicks who have won eight straight at home against the raptors who have lost six in-a-row. So, how can the odds maker decide that the Knicks should be less than a bucket favorites. It looks too easy especially when we see that the Raptors are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in New York. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Virginia v. Miami-FL +4 | Top | 64-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show |
Virginia at Miami-FL 8:30 ET Hurricanes (+) over Cavaliers- I have seen No. 6 Virginia up close and alone with UCLA I believe to be the most over-rated teams in college basketball. The Cavaliers suffered their first loss of the season last time out against Houston (Megabucks winner) while No. 22 Miami are winners of seven straight games. Virginia has won the past six meetings and under coach Tony Bennett are once again defensive leaders allowing just 59.1 PPG. The Canes have averaged 81.6 PPG during their current winning streak and are No. 8 in offensive efficiency. Take MIAMI-FL. |
|||||||
12-20-22 | Bulls +5 v. Heat | Top | 113-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
Chicago at Miami 7:30 ET Bulls (+) over Hurricanes-Miami defeated the Bulls 116-108 in the season opener and will meet for the second time tonight. The Heat are struggling on offense and are second to last in points scored and are at the bottom in most offensive categories. In a mirror of each other the Bulls have lost four straight while Miami have won four straight. Reverse of form here. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
12-19-22 | Bucks v. Pelicans +1.5 | Top | 128-119 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Milwaukee at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- New Orleans returns home having lost three straight on the road after blowing a 24-point lead to Phoenix Saturday night. They started on their trek with a seven game winning steak and are 4-1 ATS in their last five games at home. Milwaukee rebounded from a 41-point loss to Memphis with a 123-97 win over Utah without Giannis and Middleton and they are 2-8-2 ATS after a SU win. This match-up is a clash of trends as the Bucks bring the No. 4 defense while the Pelicans bring the No. 4 offense to play.Take NEW ORLEANS! |
|||||||
12-18-22 | Auburn +1 v. USC | Top | 71-74 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 45 m | Show |
Auburn at USC 5:30 ET Tigers over Trojans- USC is looking to gain some recognition on the hard wood not just the gridiron and a win over No. 19 Auburn in the cages would show their progress (8-3) by defeating a ranked ream. The Trojans have won four straight but just can’t match the Tigers when it comes to depth or defense. Auburn under Bruce Pearl play defense and only allow 61 PPG. USC is 7-19 ATS in their last 26 home games and are 2-7 ATS after a SU win. Take AUBURN |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Arizona | 70-75 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Tennessee at Arizona 10:30 ET Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- This will be a test of a pair of offensive power as Arizona now leads the nation in scoring averaging 92.0 PPG while shooting 54.5% from the floor. Tennessee will be playing their first true road game and for the most part that becomes a challenging experience for them and us. I have seen Arizona live twice already this season and still think that they can be had as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Vols are 14-5 ATS on the road after three straight home games. Take TENNESSEE! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Vanderbilt +6.5 v. NC State | Top | 66-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show |
Vanderbilt vs N.C State 10:30 ET Commodores (+) over Wolfpack- These two have very different records and only one common opponent to judge them. This will be a late start in Chicago and is the final game of a quadruple-header at the United Center. For Vanderbilt it will be their first ‘live’ action in nine days and they are ready to get back to the hardwood. This is the sixth meeting with the Commodores having a 3-2 advantage with all six games having being played on neutral sites and Vandy is 7-1 ATS in their last eight games at neutral sites. NC State who is off a huge 92-73 win over under-manned Furman are 5-15-1 ATS after a SU win. Take VANDERBILT! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Jazz +4 v. Bucks | Top | 97-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
Utah at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- I don’t know about these Bucks as this line just doesn’t seem right to me. Memphis is supposed to be one of the stiffer competitors and the Bucks who trailed by 15-points after the first quarter out-scored the Grizzlies by 56 points the final three quarters. I don’t think they’ll do it in back-to-back games and will put my trust in the Jazz who have won their last two games over New Orleans and overcame a 15-point deficit themselves. The Jazz are 30-9 ATS in the last 39 meetings and 6-2 ATS in their last eight trips to the Brew City. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
12-17-22 | UCLA v. Kentucky +2 | 63-53 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 31 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Kentucky 5:15 ET Wildcats (+) over Bruins-I just love winning these games involving the UCLA Bruins...sometimes no matter if you are with or against certain teams you have a great insight as to what they are doing night by night. That is how it has been for ‘us’ regarding the Bruins and Kentucky is the perfect opponent for Saturday’s action. The Wildcats dropped a game to No. 2 Gonzaga back on November 20 but have reeled off four straight wins since. When quality programs like this meet the points become such a huge factor as the dog in this series is 4-0 ATS in last four meetings. I’m not going to give you any other trends as they might discourage you. Have no fear! Take KENTUCKY! |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Nuggets v. Lakers +1.5 | 108-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Denver at LA Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- The Lakers are on the upswing as they are 9-6 SU in their last 15 games after starting 2-10. Part of the solution for winning for Los Angeles had been the return of a healthy Anthony Davis who bricked a pair of Free-throws in the clutch against Boston which kept the Lakers fro winning in regulation. Denver has been the best of late and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 9-20 ATS after a SU win and are 1-4 ATS in their last five meetings in Los Angeles. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Nets v. Raptors +1.5 | 119-116 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors over Nets- Changes have been rapid in the Brooklyn circus but one of them seems to have worked. The Nets who started 2-7 under Steve Nash are 15-7 SU since replacing him with Jacque Vaughn. Toronto is struggling to return to championship status is 10-4 SU at home while Brooklyn is 7-7 SU on the road with a 114-105 win already at Toronto. The nets are also 0-4 ATS after a win of 10-points or more. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
12-16-22 | Hawks v. Hornets -2.5 | Top | 125-106 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 25 m | Show |
Atlanta at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Hawks- Both of these clubs have seen better days and have been very disappointing for their backers to date. Charlotte who is expecting the return of Gordon Hayward (Isn’t he always returning from some aliment) have dropped six straight games and the Hawks have been just one-game better in their last six contests going 1-5 SU. But more importantly for the Hornets LaMelo Ball returned to action Wednesday and had 23 points and 11 assists in their loss at Detroit. The Hornets have had their way with Atlanta winning going 10-4-1 ATS as hosts in their series and get it done tonight. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Pelicans v. Jazz +1.5 | 129-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz ( ) over Pelicans- In what was a rare thing in NBA scheduling the current wave is for many teams to play a pair of games at the same site to reduce travel. So, it was just Tuesday that Utah ended the Pelicans 7-game win streak with a resounding 121-100 victory as they held New Orleans to their second lowest scoring game of the season. Can the Pelicans make the adjustments needed to split the 2-game set. They are a stellar 12-3 at home but just 6-6 on the road and 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams that have a winning home record. The Jazz are 15-5 SU at home and are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings as hosts. Take UTAH! |

12-15-22 | Bucks +2 v. Grizzlies | Top | 101-142 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Memphis 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has won six straight and is showing what we all know they can do as they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games. Milwaukee who is looking to get back into the winners circle are off a message sending 128-111 win at Golden State and have won 8-of-10. The Bucks continue to pressure their opponents and are No. 2 in defense in points scored allowing 107.6 PPG and are No. 1 in FG % defense. The Grizzlies are off a 128-103 win over Atlanta on Monday and are 2-6 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Bucks are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 14 games after a win of 10 points or more. Take MILWAUKEE! |

12-14-22 | Cavs +2.5 v. Mavs | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Dallas 9:00 ET Kings (+) over Mavericks- Cleveland is one of the most exciting and improved teams in the NBA and they are looking to make some head way against a team that beat them seven of eight times last season. Part of the Cavaliers improvement is centered around Donovan Mitchell who is averaging 29.0 PPG. The Cavs are looking to bounce back from a loss at San Antonio on Monday when the Spurs ended a nine-game losing streak. Cleveland is the No. 1 defensive club in the NBA allowing just 105-1 PPG and are 3-0-2 ATS after a SU loss while Dallas is 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 home games. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
12-14-22 | UCLA +1.5 v. Maryland | 87-60 | Win | 100 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
UCLA at Maryland 9:00 ET Terrapins over Bruins- Seems strange that these two will be playing in the same conference next season as the Big Ten has swallowed a former ACC stalwart Maryland and a the PAC-12 legendary UCLA. These Top-25 ranked teams meeting each with a pair of flaws with losses in early season tournaments. Maryland has dropped their last two contests and returns home after losses to Tennessee and at Wisconsin. The Bruins to me were one of the least impressive teams ranked teams in the early part of the season. Terps are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games but this price is way low considering the trends. Take UCLA! |
|||||||
12-14-22 | UCF +6.5 v. Ole Miss | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Central Florida at Mississippi 7:30 ET Knights (+) over Rebels- A pair of fast paced clubs with stellar defenses each with two losses and a positive point differential of +10 or better. After two straight defeats to and couple of good basketball teams in Oklahoma and Memphis the Rebels rebounded with a 37-point victory over Valparaiso. Mississippi is a perfect 5-0 (3-1-1 ATS) at home and this will be the first true road encounter for the Knights. Central Florida is just 1-6 and ATS in their last seven road games but 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with winning records. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA! |

South Carolina at UAB 7:00 ET Blazers (-) over Gamecocks- Here are a pair of schools that are moving in opposite directions as the once proud Gamecocks have fallen to the point where a Conference USA team is a double-digit favorite over an SEC team. When you look at the stats you can see why the price is what it is. South Carolina is one of the more offensively challenged team in the NCAA ranked No. 331 averaging just 64.2 PPG and their defense is ranked at 211 PPG. The Blazers are one of the top scoring team’s in the nation at No. 6 averaging 87.9 PPG. shooting 49.1% from the floor. Take ALABAMA-BIRMINGHAM! |

12-13-22 | Memphis +7 v. Alabama | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Memphis at Alabama 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Crimson Tide- You have to love the way this game is set up. Alabama accomplished a feat last done by Duke in 1965-66 and that is defeating two different No. 1 teams. The Tide are coming off a 71-65 upset of No. 1 Houston Saturday parlayed with their (4OT) win over then No. 1 North Carolina 103-101. I expect a non-cover in the game following a win like that and that happened after their first upset win. Memphis can play and are on a six-game winning streak after defeating Bama rival Auburn 82-73 on Saturday. Tigers are 13-4 ATS in last 17 games against a team with a winning percentage above 60% or better. Tide 2-8 ATS following an ATS win. Take MEMPHIS! |

12-13-22 | Kings +5.5 v. 76ers | Top | 103-123 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 49 m | Show |
Sacramento at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Kings (+) over 76ers- It might be surprising to you because it was to me when I realized it but Sacramento has a better record than the Sixers. Be it just one game but it sort of caught my attention. Now, Philly is coming off an epic performance by Joel Embiid (53-points) who is still on a mission to prove he’s the league’s best and a huge win on Sunday, while the Kings were blown out in New York. Okay, here’s some supporting info, Kings are 15-5 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more as well a 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 road games. Although Philly holds a big series edge the Kings are 4-1 ATS in the last five game in Philadelphia. Take SACRAMENTO! |

12-12-22 | Celtics v. Clippers +4.5 | 93-113 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
Boston at LA Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (+) over Celtics- Boston is off a loss at Golden State 123-107 a game in which they never led despite the loss are 17-3 SU in their last 20 games. But, like so many clubs that go west they experience what I say is a Bang-Bang Theory, that is when they get beat in back-to-back games. LA has been hurt by injuries and only had Kawhi Leonard and Paul George for the seventh time on Saturday. In a tight one the Clippers get it dome. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

12-12-22 | Creighton v. Arizona State +4 | Top | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
Arizona State at Creighton 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Blue Jays- No. 21 Creighton won’t be ranked in the Top-25 mush longer as they have lost four straight games and now face a red hot Arizona State squad that has won seven in-a-row. The Sun Devils won 58-57 at Creighton last season and look to do it again with a defense that only allows 59.8 PPG. Devils are 6-0 ATS when playing a team with a winning record. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

This time around it will be a little tougher without him as the Badgers (7-2, 1-0) look to win their second Big Ten contest. This game will pit the No. 22 offense of Iowa against the no. 24 defense of Wisconsin. The Badgers are 5-1 ATS on the road and the road team is 9-4-2 ATS in the last 15 meetings. Take WISCONSIN! |

These wins came after a 128-117 loss to the Pacers in Indiana back on November 25. Last night the Nets posted a 120-116 win over Atlanta and this being the second of back-to-back games they will have a number a players who will rest. One of course will be Ben Simmons and the other will be Durant and possibly even Irving. Nets are 0-6 ATS in the last six meetings against the Pacers and are 1-10 ATS when starters play a combines 150 minutes the previous night. Take INDIANA! |

12-10-22 | Kansas v. Missouri +3.5 | 95-67 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Kansas at Missouri 5:15 ET Tigers (+) over Jayhawks- No. 6 Kansas is 8-1 and have had 10 days to bask in their glory before taking on undefeated and un-ranked 9-0 Missouri a squad they humiliated 102-65 last season in Lawrence. The Tigers are like playing in a track meet as they lead the nation in scoring averaging 93 PPG and shoot 51% from the field. The Jayhawks average 77 themselves but the rank 104 on defense. The Tigers biggest scare came in overtime at Wichita State 88-84 overcoming a second half deficit. Revenge and better talent has the Tigers stripes shining. Take MISSOURI! |

Minnesota at Utah 9:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Jazz- The return of 3-time defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert to Utah in a different uniform for the first time is the storyline in the Great Salt Lake state. The Jazz of course are also without Donovan Mitchell and have performed surprising well to date this season winning 17 of 31. The Jazz are off a 124-123 win over Golden State and I don’t expect them to meet that level of play against tonight. T’wolves are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five visits to Utah. Take MINNESOTA! |

Iowa State at Iowa 8:00 ET Hawkeyes (-) over Cyclones- Iowa State (7-1) is doing it with defense and are sixth in the nation only allowing 56.8 PPG while for Iowa it is done on offense where they average 83.4 PPG.

Denver at New Orleans 3:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Pelicans- Now, here’s a good one...New Orleans is the division leader in the Southwest and it has surely been the impact of Zion Williamson that has made the difference in this years club.

Nuggets had won four straight before a Friday defeat at Atlanta and will rebound here wit the line being to clue. Take DENVER! |

Portland at Utah 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Jazz- After a quite start to the season Portland has dropped three straight and 7-of-8 and their swoon can be attributed to Damian Lillard’s absence as he has missed the last six games and will also be out tonight. Utah has won their last two games after losing five straight. Blazers 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games and get the money here. Take PORTLAND! |

West Virginia at Xavier 6:30 ET Mountaineers (+) over Musketeers- The X-man may have three losses already but you can’t blame them for trying as they have lost to No. 10 Indiana at home and to No. 8 Duke and No. 6 Gonzaga in the Phil Knight Tourney. Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins has had plenty of experience against Xavier going 8-8 in the ‘Crosstown Shootout’ when coaching Cincinnati who he led to a Final Four. Mountain-boys have four in double-digits and enough talent with good coaching t win here. take WEST VIRGINIA! |

Wichita State at Kansas State 9:00 ET Shockers (+) over Wildcats- That was quite a performance by the Shockers last time out hosting Missouri they went overtime before falling 88-84. But, the thing to note is that the tigers shot 54.1% from the floor and made 12 3-pointers, but the committed 20 turnovers and missed 8-of-14 free throws. How does a team make 12 3-pointers and not make FT’s? Kansas State suffered their first loss to Butler in Indianapolis and are 1-4 ATS after a SU loss. Take WICHITA STATE! |

Indiana at Rutgers 4:00 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Hoosiers- Oh boy! Ain’t we got fun...Indiana pops into the Top-10 for the first time in over five years after defeating an over-ratted North Carolina clubs that has now dropped three in-a-row. This is a perfect spot to ambush the 7-0 Hoosiers who are playing their first true road game and they are 8-20-2 ATS in their last 30 road games after three straight at home. And get this the Scarlet Knights are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with winning records, add that the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take RUTGERS! |

Illinois at Maryland 9:00 ET Illini (+) over Terrapins- The 7-0 Terrapins have rolled over the good, the bad and the ugliest of teams defeating every opponents by at least 16 points with their closest game an 18-point win over Miami-Fl. Illinois suffered their only loss in Las Vegas to No. 4 Virginia but they showed that they can play with just about anybody. So, with Maryland romping game after game shouldn’t they be a stronger favorite at home against a team that they have defeated 8-of-10 times straight-up. The dogs is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take ILLINOIS! |

Baylor at Gonzaga 8:00 ET Bears (+) over Bulldogs- These two teams played for the National Championship in 2021 and it wasn’t pretty for the Zags as the 4.5-point underdog Bears led from start to finish as they highest scoring team in the nation was stifled. This time around Gonzaga is playing behind a closed window as it is Baylor that scores 88.1 PPG ranking No.6 while on defense the Bulldogs have dropped to No. 331 allowing 76.7 PPG. Bears are off a beat down by Marquette 96-70 and they are 6-1 ATS after a loss of 20-points or more. Gonzaga is 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. The underdogs is 5-0 ATS in this series.

Miami at Boston 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Boston is the marvel of the league of late scoring 140 points game after game including a trouncing of this same Miami team two days ago as they average a league high 122 PPG. The only way the Heat can cool off the Celtics is to do what they do best and are known for and that is defense. Currently the are ranked No. 8 on D but they have been short-handed with their best stopper on the sideline as Jimmy Butler gamely puts out a professional effort. The Heat are 4-0-1 ATS after allowing 100 points in their previous game and they are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games in Boston. Take MIAMI! |

Toronto at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Nets- Brooklyn has finally gotten over the .500 mark for the first time this season and are still led by the NBA’s new game iron man Kevin Durant who not only has scored an average of 38.7 PPG in his last four contests but he also leads the NBA in minutes played per game. But, the Nets drama continues as off-court antics are just a side show circus. Toronto on the other side of the coin nee to win to stay about .500 and they will. Take TORONTO! |

Wake Forest at Clemson 7:00 ET Demon Deacons (+) over Tigers- Last season Wake Forest had troubles on the road and this year they are already 1-0 after winning their first true road game at Wisconsin 78-75 as a 6-Point underdog. Clemson who has won 5-of-6 are off a 101-94 overtime victory over Penn State. Scoring over 100 points is big deal for the Tigers as they are a bit challenged on offense ranking No. 126 averaging just 75.8 PPG and their overall defense isn’t any better and is ranked No. 128. The Deacons are 7-1 SU with a pair of players from the transfer portal and get the money here. Take WAKE FOREST! |

12-01-22 | UCLA v. Stanford +7 | 80-66 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
UCLA at Stanford 10:30 ET Cardinal (+) over Bruins- You are going to hear plenty of comments like ‘inspiring play and huge efforts and a gritty club,’ but what you won’t hear is UCLA wins again. Believe me this is one of the most over-rated teams in the country and believe me I know I’ve seen them twice in person and I just don’t see what the big deal or talent is hiding. The Bruins like so may at this time of the season are playing their first true road game of the year ad it is a PAC -12 battle at Stanford. The Cardinal have fallen off the basketball charts of late (so has their football team) but they still manage to be ready for conference games at home where they are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings with the bruins. Tough gritty win...take STANFORD! |

Seton Hall at Kansas 9:00 ET Pirates (+) over Jayhawks- The defending national Champions will host Seton Hall in this Big East- Big-12 Battle. No. 9 Kansas is 7-1 falling to Tennessee in their final game of a set of three games in the Bahamas. Seton Hall (4-3) has been inconsistent this season and this match-up should bring more focus to their game. Take SETON HALL! |

12-01-22 | Arizona v. Utah +6.5 | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Arizona at Utah 8:30 ET Utes (+) over Wildcats- Undefeated No. 4 Arizona (6-0) leads the nation in scoring averaging 97.5 points a game and are coming off wins in Maui over a pair of ranked teams No. 17 San Diego State and No. 10 Cincinnati. The Wildcats style is in direct contrast to Utah’s defensive and deliberate style of play. The time that I like most about this encounter is that it is Arizona’s first true road game of the season and it happens to be a league game the first date of December. The Wildcats are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games after a SU win. I like the spot and are taking it with confidence. Take UTAH! |

Chicago at Phoenix 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Suns- Phoenix is looking unstoppable of late having won their last six and that is without Chris Paul. The Suns will wait until the games become important and then be sure to install Paul into the lineup to insure another payoff failure. Devi Booker is picking up the slack scoring 44 points against the Kings Monday night. The Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 trips to Phoenix and the Suns are 2-6 ATS after a SU win. Take CHICAGO! |

11-30-22 | Raptors -113 v. Pelicans | 108-126 | Loss | -113 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Toronto at New Orleans 8:00 ET Raptors over Pelicans- I can’t believe how these lines on the Pelicans games can fluctuate from one game to the next. I understand that if Zion Williamson is playing or not their should and will be differences. But, with a consistent line-up it changes dramatically daily. Another factor is that New Orleans has had to play extended period of time without Brandon Ingram while Pascal Siaham has returned to play for the Raptors and believe me he makes a difference.Take TORONTO! |

11-30-22 | Bucks v. Knicks +6 | 109-103 | Push | 0 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- New York is brimming with confidence as they are off their highest scoring win this season putting up 140 in Detroit against the hapless Pistons. Milwaukee goes as Giannis goes because he is totally unstoppable when he’s right and he is right most of the time. The Bucks are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings an 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to the Garden. The Knicks confident off last night’s win are 18-5 ATS in the second of back-to-back contests. Take NEW YORK! |

11-29-22 | Clippers v. Blazers -3.5 | 118-112 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
LA Clippers at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Clippers- We would love this game to include some shooting stars but it’s more like a bunch of burnt up black holes as dimming stars Kawaii Leonard, Paul George are lame for the Clippers and the Trailblazers have been struggling with Damian Lillard sidelined as Portland has lost five of six. The Clips have won nine of the last 10 meetings and are 8-2 ATS but the Blazers are 4-0 ATS after a 10-point loss. Take PORTLAND! |

11-29-22 | Virginia -3.5 v. Michigan | Top | 70-68 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Virginia at Michigan 9:30 ET Cavaliers (-) over Wolverines- I saw No. 3 Virginia defeat Baylor and Illinois in Las Vegas and although they were crowned tourney champs I can say that I was all that impressed. Although, I feel that they will win games because of their experience and depth. As Claude Reins would say ‘I am shocked...’ yep, I am shocked at how little respect the Wolverines are receiving from the book-makers as I expect them to be ranked which they are not and I don’t expect them to be such an underdog at home Now, the decision is do I believe my lying eyes or a lying bookmaker. Maybe, they know something a Michigan is 1-5 ATS in their last six home games and they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. Cavaliers 7-2 ATS in last nine against winning teams above .600. Looks too easy to take the Wolves...take VIRGINIA! |

11-29-22 | Missouri v. Wichita State +2.5 | Top | 88-84 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Missouri vs Wichita State 8:00 ET Shockers (+) over Tigers- Missouri opened the season with seven straight wins and that is always impressive even if they defeated the likes of SIU Edwardsville, Southern Indiana, Lindenwood, Mississippi Valley State, Coastal Carolina and of course Houston Christian. Now, not that seven sub-division schools isn’t bad enough they played them all at home. Now, this isn’t a true road game as it is a neutral site but they are playing a real basketball team. Take WICHITA STATE! |

Golden State at Dallas 8:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- This Nationally Televised game will feature two of the biggest NBA stars with Golden State’s Stephen Curry (31.4) still the league most popular player and the Mavericks Luka Donic (33.1) who are 1 and 2 in scoring. The Warriors have finally put in together on the road (2-9) and have won three straight and five of six while the Mavericks have dropped their last four and are an amazing 1-13-1 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Mavericks 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings as hosts. In a rebound and much needed situation the Mav’s respond. take DALLAS! |

11-29-22 | Knicks v. Pistons +5 | 140-110 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
New York at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Knicks- This is the third time these clubs will meet this season with New York posting a pair of wins and covers. These two do had one thing in common and that is their rankings on offense and defense as the Knicks are ranked No 26 on defense and Detroit is ranked No. 26 on offense. The Men of Gotham are 16-6 ATS on the road but get this 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with straight up losing records. The Pistons are picking up the pace and are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games overall. take DETROIT! |

Maryland at Louisville 7:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Terrapins- There are no slow paced turtles here as the streaking Terrapins are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS while Louisville is the mirror image at 0-6 SU and an unbelievable -0-6 ATS. The Red Birds lost their first three games by one point each to Bellarmine, Wright State and Appalachian State but increased their losing margin to 26, 32 and 19 points against three big boys Arkansas, Texas Tech and Cincinnati. The Cardinals offense is ranked 355 averaging just 58.7 PPG while shooting a team 39.5% from the floor. But the Red Birds are 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Coming from the bottom up...take LOUISVILLE! |

Chicago at Utah 9:00 ET Bulls (+) over Jazz- Okay, here we go, Utah who at this early stage of the season are 4-games up on Chicago and are 6-2 at home. The Bulls who are 3-6 on the road seem and are a very short underdog and are only 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Jazz have dropped their last four SU but got the money last time out as our Megabucks winner bowing to Phoenix 112-111 plus 6.5-points. Utah on a slide and the price shows it. Take CHICAGO! |

Minnesota at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (-) over Golden Gophers- Neither of these clubs has been very impressive to date with Minnesota struggling against mediocre competition going overtime before defeating California Baptist 62-61. Virginia Tech has lost to College of Charleston 77-75 and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. This is the Golden Gophers first true road game of the season and they are 0-7 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and Tech is 4-0 SU at home. Lets play against a team playing in someone else gym. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

11-27-22 | Warriors -1.5 v. Wolves | 137-114 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
Golden State at Minnesota 3:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Warriors- This year’s version of the Warriors reminds me of let’s say the West Virginia football which is notorious for losing on the road where Golden State is 1-9 while they are 9-1 at home. Last season the Wolves lost to State by an average of 17 points in two games in California and they won both home games by an average of 11 points. GS is 0-4 ATS in their last four trips to Minny and 7-19 ATS in their last 26 road games overall. Take MINNESOTA! |

North Carolina vs Alabama 3:30 ET Crimson Tide over Tar Heels- Okay here we go again. The Odds-makers versus the Pollsters. The Poll people have North Carolina ranked on top at 1 and to date I have not been impressed. Bama who does impress me is ranked No. 18 by the Pollsters and yet the odds-makers opened the Tide a small favorite on a neutral site. I could go through a lot of stuff but it is simply a matter of those who really are in the know and those that think they are. Take ALABAMA! |

11-26-22 | Jazz +7.5 v. Suns | 112-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Utah at Phoenix 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Suns- I guess three is the optimum number as the Suns who are 10-1 SU at home and a fine 8-3 ATS have won their last three while Utah is 0-3 SU and ATS in their last three games entering this contest. These two are with different styles as the Jazz will score on you averaging 117.4 PPG ranked No. 3 while Phoenix will shut you down defensively ranking No. 5 allowing just 107.4. Utah is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with winning records. The Suns who have won 3-in-a-row are just 1-5 ATS after a SU win. Take UTAH! |

Iowa vs TCU 7:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Hawkeyes- TCU was ranked 10 places higher than was Iowa in the preseason NCAA Basketball polls. But, they have yet to show the form that is expected and even dropped a 64-63 decision as a 21.2-point home favorite losing to Northwestern State (Do we even know what State they are in). Now, facing a Top-25 ranked team as Iowa (5-0) continues to climb in the polls until tomorrow after today’s loss. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

11-25-22 | Kings +8 v. Celtics | 104-122 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Boston 8:00 ET Kings (+) over Celtics- The Kings opened the season with four straight losses and have been on a tear ever since and even the bookies haven’t caught up with them as they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine and have been ‘money’ on the road going 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 away from home. Boston may end up in the Eastern Finals and are No. 2 on offense averaging 119.7 PPG but, guess who is No. 1 in NBA scoring, why it is the Kings at 120.0. Kings 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |

11-25-22 | Lakers -2.5 v. Spurs | 105-94 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
LA Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Lakers (-) over Spurs- I know, I know. I know...but my I must play teams when things just don’t look right and you tell me if this does. Los Angeles is not only 5-11 SU but ATS as well and generally have not been very competitive with or without James or Davis. But, oh my, they are favored here on the road against a team with a better record that is sinking faster than the Yankees in the playoffs. Upon review we see the Spurs have lost six straight and 9-of-10 with the lone victory a 111-93 win over Milwaukee (Go figure!). San Antonio is at the bottom end of all defensive categories, enough that even the Lakers can beat them. Take LA LAKERS! |

11-25-22 | Iowa v. Clemson +8.5 | Top | 74-71 | Win | 100 | 8 h 60 m | Show |
Iowa vs Clemson 7:00 ET Hawkeyes over Tigers- As I have said before because power schools schedule so many powder puffs it is difficult to evaluate just how good they may actually be. Clemson has had one game among their five against a Division I school and they lost to South Carolina. Iowa has covered all four games playing one legit opponent defeating Seton Hall by 17 points in the Pirates Cove. Hawkeyes are 17-8-2 ATS at neutral sites while the Tigers are 5-1 ATS at neutral sites they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. One thing to respect is that Clemson has 20 years of playing experience among their starters. Take CLEMSON! |

11-24-22 | Alabama -3.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 81-70 | Win | 100 | 21 h 44 m | Show |
Alabama vs Michigan State 10:30 ET Crimson Tide (-) over Spartans- This one gets me with Michigan State being the higher ranked team at No. 12 and the Crimson Tide being the favorite ranked No. 18 and it is not a tiny number. The bookmaker is telling us that Alabama is the better team and although the media believes otherwise and I trust the bookies (Not really) to have better knowledge. What concerns me is the schedule that these two squads have undertaken as the Spartans have dealt with Kentucky, Gonzaga and Villanova while the Tide were dealing with the likes of Longwood, Liberty, South Alabama and Jacksonville State who combined are all under .500. Comparing stats it is easy to see why Books have chosen this price as the Tide are better at both ends of the court, be it against inferior opposition but regardless they rank 26th on offense and MSU is 177th and on defense No. 31 for Bama and 140 for State. P.S.- Tide lead the nation in rebounding. Take ALABAMA! |

11-24-22 | Memphis -1 v. Seton Hall | 69-70 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 43 m | Show | |
Memphis vs Seton Hall 7:30 ET Tigers over Seton Hall- A pair of my favorite ‘money making schools’ clash a long way from home in Glendale Arizona. Once again we have a club that beat up on the little guy and was beaten by a viable opponent, Seton Hall had their way locally with Monmouth, St. Peter’s and were crushed by Iowa 83-67 and then they destroyed Wagner 82-44. The Tigers are 2-1 having played three legit teams in Vanderbilt, VCU and Southern Illinois. Take MEMPHIS! |

Iowa State vs. Villanova 3:30 ET Cyclones (+) over Wildcats- Oh, I like what is coming out of Ames as T.J. Otzelberger has taken the air out of the ball and returned to fundamentals starting with defense. Iowa State holds their opponents to an absurd 45.0 PPG while holding opponents to 32.8% shooting from the floor. Add that Villanova who is just not the same since Jay Wright took a powder and it will show here as they are ranked No. 260 on offense scoring just 69 PPG and are ranked No. 346 (Yep) in rebounding. Cyclones 6-2 ATS last eight neutral site games and Cats are 1-4 ATS in last five. Take IOWA STATE! |

11-23-22 | Wizards +2 v. Heat | 105-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Washington at Miami 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Heat- There is something going on with the Heat that I’m not quite sure what it is but there are issues that the coaching and players must work out. Miami returns home after dropped four straight on the road falling o 1-7 away from South Beach. Jimmy Butler is in and out of the line-up and the Wizards will most likely be with leading scorer Bradley Beal. The Wiz are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Miami while the Heat are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games overall. Take WASHINGTON! |

LA Lakers at Phoenix 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Suns- I was wondering just how long it would be until the Lakers started playing professional basketball and it looks to me that they have. They return of Anthony Davis has had a huge impact especially since he has become more aggressive offensively scoring 37, 38 and 30 points in his last three outings. Russell Westbrook is dealing with a bad thumb and his playing time should be limited which increases the Lakers chance winning. Take LA LAKERS! |

Detroit at Denver 9:30 ET Pistons (+) over Nuggets- On Friday Denver was without three starters and were crushed by Megabucks winner Dallas 127-99 but managed to upset the Mavericks 98-97 on Sunday. But, they are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight-up win. Now, they return home and with Nikola Jokie still out the Nuggets will be hard pressed to cover against the Pistons who have dropped seven in-a-row. Nuggets fall short here. Take DETROIT! |

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Nets (-) over 76ers- So, here we go with the daily drama that is the 76ers. Joel Embiid will be out for the next two games joining James Harden and Tyrese Maxey out with minor injuries. And of course the return of Ben Simmons to Philadelphia for the first time since his mental issues began. Kyrie Irving of course will attract more attention to this NBA circus. The Nets are starting play beyond the noise and have are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in last five home games but just 2-7 ATS when hosting a team with a losing record. Take BROOKLYN! |

11-21-22 | Knicks +2.5 v. Thunder | 129-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
New York at Oklahoma City 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Thunder- Knicks 17-5 ATS in second game of last 22 back-to-backs, 1-7 ATS in last eight visits and they were favorites and now they are underdogs. New York has dropped the last three meetings straight-up and look to reverse that trend with a 3-guard offense that is struggling because of poor shooting by No.1 draft pick PJ Barrett who’s throwing it up at a 26.5 from the floor and only 8% (2 of 25) from 3-point range. The Thunder will be a bit short-handed as four players are to be sidelined. Take NEW YORK! |

Atlanta at Cleveland 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Cavaliers- Oh yeah, perfect spot for turn around upset. Cleveland as our Megabucks release Sunday rand they responded by blowing out the Heat 113-87 and now host the high flying Hawks. It would be a long shot that the Cavaliers can repeat that type of performance. If trends are any sign the home team and series record would have us on the Cavs, but not us!

Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Heat- Fresh off their five game losing streak Cleveland hosts Miami who is on a two-side of their own. The Heat have taken to the road and have been downed at Toronto and Washington. They are having difficulties keeping talent on the court as Butler and Adebayo are plagued with injuries. The Heat are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 against teams with winning records and the Cavaliers are 8-1 after a SU win. Take CLEVELAND! |

11-20-22 | Baylor v. UCLA +2.5 | Top | 80-75 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
UCLA vs. Baylor 5:30 ET Bruins (+) over Bears- One of these wild critters will leave Las Vegas with two consecutive losses and a damper on the start of their season. UCLA held a 41-28 lead in the second half before the Illini when on a shooting spree and outscored the baby bears 51-29. The Bears allowed Virginia to shoot 56% and trailed by 23-points in the second half and were never really in it. Bruins are 6-1 ATS after a SU loss and Naylor is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take UCLA! |

Minnesota at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Timberwolves over 76ers- The 76ers have won three straight and four of five with Joel Embiid leading in the most dominate fashion possible. Minnesota who dropped six of seven previous games have won their last two with the team posted season highs in points scored. Embiid will most likely sit out the second of back-to-back contests. Tyrese Maxey went down in Friday’s win over the Bucks and without Embiid the Sixers fall short. Take MINNESOTA! |

Illinois vs UCLA 9:30 ET Illini (+) over Bruins- Both clubs are 3-0 and will be playing a real opponent for the first time this season. These clubs have not met since 1997 and the Bruins hold a 6-3 series edge but that stirs nothing between these two today. This game is being played in Las Vegas an there should be a slight lean in the crowd for the Bruins but it hasn’t helped in the past. Take ILLINOIS! |

11-18-22 | Celtics v. Pelicans +2.5 | 117-109 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Boston at New Orleans 8:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Celtics- Winning streaks clash here as the Celtics have reeled off eight straight wins while New Orleans has won their last three. Boston was able to cruise past Atlanta Wednesday with a pair of starters in Brogdon and Smart sidelined. With those two sidelined and the Pelicans with a healthy Zion Williamson I expect New Orleans who is 12-5 ATS at home on Friday nights to take advantage. Play NEW ORLEANS! |

11-18-22 | Nuggets v. Mavs -9 | 99-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Denver at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (-) over Nuggets- Both of these clubs have superstars that are the focal point of each squad and the Nuggets will be without their start tonight as 2-time MVP Nikola Jokic will be sidelined will be Aaron Gordon. Luka Doncic is the Mavericks main clog as he averages 34.4 PPG, 8.8 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.1 steals and he was not in the line-up last time out a home loss to Houston. Back in the lineup he will be the difference with Jokic out. Take DALLAS! |

11-18-22 | Pacers v. Rockets +5.5 | Top | 99-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 3 m | Show |
Indiana at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Pacers- Surprisingly enough Indiana has become a force as they extend their fine play by winning six of the last eight games. Houston may only be 3-12 straight-up but this young group is spirited and 8-7 ATS. The Rockets are off an upset win over Dallas and they are 5-0 ATS in their last five after a SU win and they are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Pacers. Take HOUSTON! |

11-17-22 | Spurs v. Kings -7 | 112-130 | Win | 100 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (-) over Spurs- I can’t remember the last time I saw the Kings this strong a favorite but their 10-3 overall ATS record shows that the bookmaker is trying to catch-up. After a quick 5-2 start San Antonio has tanked winning just once of their last eight and that’s when they routed the Bucks 111-93. After an 0-4 start Sacramento has won 7-of-9 (8-1 ATS) with the losses coming at Golden State and at Miami. It’s the Kings offense that has been impressive as they are scoring 119.5 a game and shooting 49.3 from downtown both are good for 2nd in the league. The Spurs are dead last in points allowed surrendering 119.5 each time out and are dead last in both 3-point and field goal percentage allowed. They just don’t play defense. Kings are 9-4 ATS last 13 meetings overall and 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings as hosts. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Brooklyn at Portland 10:00 ET Nets over Trailblazers- The drama continues and Days of Our Lives couldn’t write it any better. Every day the drama as to whether the world is flat or who’s got a secret media account or who is coaching today continues...this is getting silly as Brooklyn surrendered 153 points to Sacramento Tuesday and oh yes they lost 153-121. The Nets and the rest of the league (players) are getting anxious as to when their favor bigot will return to action, but it will not be tonight. Portland is off to a great start at 10-4 SU and are the surprise in the west but unfortunately for them it’s the Nets night out, sorry boys but the Blazers will be doused tonight. I know the Nets stink and don’t really care or give great effort all the time but Brooklyn is 9-3 ATS after allowing 125 points or more the previous game (otherwise they stink). As good as the Blazers are they are just 4-9 ATS against teams with losing records and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five hosting the Nets! Take BROOKLYN! |

New York at Denver 10:00 ET Knicks (+) over Nuggets- In his first season as Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau emphasized defense and New York had their first winning season for just the second time a decade. But, it appears that he has made an NBA adjustment and now has his focus on outscoring their opponent. So, after surrendering 145 points in a home loss to Oklahoma City they have gone back to basics. Denver averages 117.1 PPG but will be without MVP Nikola Jokic and that will hurt the Nuggets chances. Knicks are now14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games and the Nuggets are 5-16 ATS after a SU win. Take NEW YORK! |

11-16-22 | Cavs +4.5 v. Bucks | 98-113 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Cleveland at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee who started the season 8-0 have dropped 3-of-4 as injuries have started to take their toll and Cleveland who also started fast has cool off losing their last four outright after six straight wins and covers. The Cavaliers played Sunday without Mitchell, Allen and Wade but it’s even worse for the Bucks who have six players in and out because of injuries. The Cav’s are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and are 5-0 ATS against teams winning more than 60%. Take CLEVELAND! |

11-16-22 | Celtics v. Hawks +3 | Top | 126-101 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
Boston at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Celtics- Boston has won their last seven games while Atlanta has won five of seven including a 121-106 win at Milwaukee handing the Bucks their first home loss of the season after seven wins. The Celtics are the No. 1 scoring team in the league averaging 120 PPG but they are 2-6 ATS against teams with losing records. The Hawks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games against teams with winning records and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games overall. Take ATLANTA! |

New York at Utah 9:00 ET Knicks (+) over Jazz- After a 3-game Eastern swing Utah is back home where they are 5-0 after dropping the final two games on their trip losing back-to-back games for the first time this season .New York is embarking on a 5-game seven day road trip and are off double-digit home loss to OKC on Sunday allowing the Thunder to shoot 62.5%. I don’t think coach Tom Thibodeu was very pleased with the Knicks defense as they once prided themselves at that end of the floor. The numbers stack up behind the Knicks as they are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 road games and NY is 25-9 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Add that the Jazz are 8-21-2 ATS following a straight-up loss. Take NEW YORK! |

Atlanta at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- It was a week ago today that the undefeated Bucks at 9-0 were handed their first loss of the season 117-98 in Atlanta. Milwaukee is dealing with a rash of injuries that have sidelined six different players at one time or another. This is the third meeting already this season between these two and they split each winning and covering at home and they will meet a final time in early January. Hawks are 11-4 ATS after a SU loss and the Bucks are 1-3-1 ATS following a loss by 10-points or more. Take ATLANTA! |

Brooklyn at LA Lakers 9:30 ET Lakers (+) over Nets- Very often especially in sport ‘less is more’ as is the case with the Nets. Brooklyn is now 4-1 since Kyrie Irving was suspended and admit that they are now playing as a team. A team that is sure to walk off the edge of the flat Earth. The Lakers have dropped five straight as they started the season before they finally won so their number is about right for a turnaround. LA most likely without Lebron and maybe once against less is more. Brooklyn is 3-9-2 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and 11-29-1 ATS after SU win. The Lakers are just terrible but are the side tonight. Take LA LAKERS! |

Utah at Washington 6:00 ET Wizards (+) over Jazz- The Wizards were a Money Game winner for us Friday night and as they defeated Dallas with a pair of starters sidelined. Bradley Beal will remain on the protocol list and not play tonight but Porzingis should return despite a groin strain. Utah despite the loss of Donovan Mitchell have won four straight and have covered seven straight while being favored just once over the Lakers and lead the West. But, the Wiz are 4-1 ATS in their last five and they are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings with the Jazz. Take WASHINGTON! |

Milwaukee at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs over Bucks- If anything looks bogus tonight it is this match-up in San Antonio whee the struggling Spurs will host the red hot Milwaukee Bucks who have won 10 of 11 games. San Antonio got off to a quick start winning 5-of-7 but have now dropped five-in-row. So, why are the Spurs favored...cuz I hope their is something fishy after this contest and I’m willing to side with the bookmaker tonight. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Dallas at Washington 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Mavericks- Washington has lost four of five including their last three at home while Dallas just had a four game win streak end with a loss at Orlando last night. Bradley Beal the Wizards main attraction will sit out this contest but team have a way of adjusting to key players resting. The Wiz have had the best of it in DC going 6-1 ATS while hosts against the Mavs and Dallas is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take WIZARDS! |

Cleveland at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Cavaliers- We have all seen how bad the Kings have been and can be but now, they are actually saying that they lose games because of the officials lack of respect and that they just don’t get the calls they should on both ends of the floor. After an opening night loss at Toronto and then went out and won eight straight (all covers) before blowing a 13-point with 2:38 remaining at Sacramento Monday night. The Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings and 3-7 ATS after a SU loss. Take SACRAMENTO! |
