02-15-21 | Nets v. Kings +4 | 136-125 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nets- Although the Nets seem to have the most offensive firepower in the NBA it was a question as to who is Brooklyn's point guard James Harden or Kyrie Irving but that question has been answered as Harden (11.6 assists) has taken over that role and Irving seems to have accepted the move. But, the Nets will once again be without Kevin Durant how has a strained hamstring. Brooklyn is just 3-8 ATS when favored and are 2-6 ATS on the road while the Kings are 67-1 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs. Take SACRAMENTO. |

02-15-21 | Hawks -121 v. Knicks | Top | 112-123 | Loss | -121 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
Atlanta at New York 7:00 ET Hawks over Knicks- The surprising Knicks continue to play the NBA's best defense although their center Mitchell Robinson has been sidelined with a broken hand. New York looks for their third straight win as the host underachieving Atlanta who has lost three in-a-row and 6-of-7 and are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. So, how and why did the Hawks open the favorite at New York's Madison Square Garden? I'm not sure how or why and don't expect them to go 'off' as favorites But they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games when favored. Take ATLANTA! |

Chicago at Indiana 7:00 ET Bulls (+) over Pacers- Indiana have won their last two and in their last outing they erased a nine-point deficit by putting together a 27-7 run that grounded the Hawks in Atlanta. The Pacers return home to loss Chicago takes to the road after three straight at home and are just 3-7 SU and ATS in their last 10 games overall. They are also 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games including 6-0 ATS as road underdogs. The Pacers on the other hand are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games including 2-5 ATS as home favorites. Take CHICAGO! |

L.A. Lakers at Denver 10;00 ET Nuggets (+) over Lakers- Both these clubs have been winning of late as the Lakers are on a seven-game win streak while Denver has a modest two-game mini run. Oddly enough both clubs trail by as many as 19 and 22 points in each of their late two wins respectively but managed come-back victories. The last time these two met the Lakers cruised to a 114-93 win as they led by as many as 33-points but now Denver has the home court and the Nuggets are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine meetings as hosts. Take DENVER! |

02-13-21 | Heat +6 v. Jazz | 94-112 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Miami at Utah 9:00 ET Heat (+) over Jazz- No doubt as to who is the hottest team in the NBA as the Jazz have won six straight and 17 of 18 including a 129-115 win over Milwaukee last night. Miami has had to fight a whole mess of adversity but Jimmy Butler is back and he makes a world of difference. The well coached Heat play up to their competition especially on the road where they are 12-5 ATS against teams with winning records over .600. I expect a bit of a letdown by the Jazz after their win over the Bucks last night. Take MIAMI! |

02-13-21 | Rockets +1 v. Knicks | 99-121 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
Houston at New York 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Knicks- Man, this one just doesn't look right to me. Here are the much improved New York Knicks under the coaching of Tom Thibodeau who are 4-1 AZTS in their last five games and are off a win over Washington are an underdog at home against a Rockets team with a worst record. Houston is banged up and are 18-39 as road favorites. It makes no sense...take the ROCKETS! |

Indiana at Atlanta 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Pacers- Indiana broke a 4-game losing streak with a 111-95 win over Detroit on Thursday but have still lost 6-of-8. Atlanta has dropped their last two and five of their last six games straight-up including a 125-114 loss last night to the Spurs who scored a franchise high 77 points in the first half and they are 1-4 ATS in the second of back-to-back games. The problem here is that the Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall as their Oladipo trade has been disappointing as Crais LeVert has yet to play. Not, too much good to say about the hawks other that they will fly high and mighty Saturday night Take ATLANTA! |

NBA Money Game Winner Cleveland at Portland 10:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Trailblazers- After a big physical matchup against Philadelphia last night the Trailblazers should be just going through the motions tonight against the lowly Cavaliers. Cleveland has won just once in their last eight games and are 0-8 ATS and haven't won outright since Jan. 27 against the Pistons and they were run out by 38-points in Denver Wednesday night. In a manner of being professionals and although they are 0-6 ATS in their last six visits to Portland I expect the Cavaliers to show great effort tonight and get the money. I'll add that Portland is 3-10 ATS at home and again had the Sixers last night. Take CLEVELAND! |

02-12-21 | Pelicans +3 v. Mavs | 130-143 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Dallas 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Mavericks- Both of these clubs are playing their best all of the season even though the Pelicans lost last time out at Chicago they had won four straight going in. Dallas has struggled most of the year but have put together a mini 3-game streak and have won four of five. The Mavs are 5-7 SU and 2-10 ATS at home and just haven't been able to ,eld their talents. New Orleans has showed better than what was expected and is 4-0 ATS in last four games as underdogs and while Dallas is 8-21-1 ATS in the last 30 home games most of which were played after the National Anthem. Pelicans are showing strength inside lead by Zion Williamson and the Mavericks are a weak rebounding team as that take dirty work and it take heart...take NEW ORLEANS! |

San Antonio at Atlanta 7:00 ET Spurs (+) over Hawks- These two squads started the season in different fashion and they are meetings in a different fashion. Atlanta started the season hot winning 6-of-7 while the Spurs struggled out of the gate and have played solid basketball and are now going 7-3 on the road and paying tough as underdogs going 14-6 ATS in their last 20 as underdogs. Although the Hawks have swooned they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games when favored...go figure. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Philly has played better on the road this season going 7-5 SU to date but are just 7-18-2 ATS in their last 27 games as road favorites. Portland is 4-1 ATS in their last five as underdogs and are 3-0-1 ATS in last four at home against Philly. Take PORTLAND! |

Miami at Houston 7:30 ET Rockets (+) over Heat- Miami has had to deal with injuries to key players like Jimmy Butler and Goran Dragic and their record (10-14) shows that they are important parts of their cog. Houston has been without leading scorer Christian Wood who has missed the Rockets last three games all of which were losses. The Heat are just 3-7 SU on the road and just 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites while Houston is 3-7 SU at home but 4-1 ATS as underdogs. Take HOUSTON! |

Indiana at Brooklyn 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Nets- After starting the season 6-2 things have gone south for the Pacers and they have lost their last three and 10 of their last 16 since. Brooklyn is on a three-game slide of their own as the Big-3 (Durant, Harden and Irving) haven't had all that much paying time together as COVID rules and minor injuries have slowed their progress. The Nets are 7-6 since getting Harden and they are just 3-5 SU when Durant's out. The Pacers are 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings in Brooklyn and 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings overall. Take INDIANA! |

Utah returns home the hottest team in the league having won 13 of 14 and are 8-1 ZATS in their last nine at home and 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. TAKE BOSTON! |

Philadelphia at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (-) over 76ers- Two of the NBA's hottest teams clash as the Kings have won four straight and seven of eight going 7-1 ATS and will host the 76ers who have won five of their last six including a 124-108 wi over Brooklyn last time out. Philadelphia has been very inconsistent on the road (Heck they have sucked) going 14-34-3 ATS in their last 51 road games...how's that for a sample. They are also 6-18-2 ATS in their last 26 games as road favorites. The numbers look great for the Kings and I'll close with this...they are 5-1 ATS hosting the last six meetings. Take SACRAMENTO! |

New York at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Knicks- There can be no doubt the Miami is a completely different team with and without Jimmy Butler in the lineup. After a 10-game ab sen se Butler has returned and the Heat are hot with their offensive average up 5-points a games since his return. Although Miami is just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine home games (most played without Butler) is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MIAMI! |

Note that Toronto is just 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games as favorites including 2-5 ATS as road favs. The Grizzlies are 5-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs and 7-3 ATS in their last seven overall.

Miami at New York 1:00 ET Heat (-) over Knicks- Man, are the Heat dragging or what? Miami had lost seven of eight before posting a 122-95 win over hapless Washington Friday night. That should be a good thing but they are 2-7 ATS after a SU win and just 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games as favorites. Meanwhile the Knicks have won two straight and are No. 1 in NBA defense allowing just 103.9 PPG but are off Saturday's win over Portland and are 5-12-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games.

Golden State at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (-) over Warriors- Golden State just stomped the Mavericks 147-116 two days ago and this is the back end of a two-game three day series. Dallas was playing their second game in two night and couldn't keep up and were outrun in the second half. Not, this time buddy. The time they met before that game was a Dallas 142-94 win last season. Take the MAVERICKS! |

Kings are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and 6-0 ATS in their last six overall. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Toronto at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Nets- Toronto who defeated the Brooklyn in the playoff bubble last season got off to a horrid start this season winning just two of their first 10 games but have rebounded by going 7-4 SU since. The Nets of course are a vastly different club with the addition of James Harden and a healthy Irving and Durant. Since 'The Beard' arrived the Nets are 8-3 and not all of the vaulted trio have played together in every game and I wonder about this one. The 'line' appears a bit low to me so I am suspect of who is actually going to play and who will be rested. Raptors are 9-4 ATS as road underdogs and the Nets are 2-6 ATS as home favorites. Take TORONTO! |

Sacramento returns home and is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall and are 7-3-1 ATS hosting the Celtics.

After a horrid start Golden State behind Stephen Curry's deadeye shooting have become a threat any night out. Boston has become more of an offensive club but certainly not on the Warriors level but will be without their one defensive standout in Keith Smart and Curry will take advantage. Add Celtics are 1-6 ATS in last seven as road favorites but 6-1 ATS in last seven trips to Golden State most as underdogs. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

LAC has won three straight and 10 of their last 11 and are scoring 118.5ppg while allowing just 104.4ppg. The difference is that the 'clowns' from Flatbush play a one-dimensional game that doesn't not include getting back of defense. Although the Clippers are 3-16 ATS (amazing) in Brooklyn this game has a completely different dynamic and LA is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games. Take CLIPPERS! |

New York at Golden State 10 ET Knicks (+) over Warriors- For the first time in a decade the Knicks look like a real basketball team under head coach Tom Thibodeau and a win here would bring New York to even on the season. They have won two-in-a-row after having lost five straight and are much improved but still have difficult making shots fall as they hang the hats on defense. One thing Golden State doesn't worry about is shots going into the basket even with Klay Thompson to compliment Stephen Curry.

Cleveland started the season 3-0 and have won just 3-of-10 since including a win over New York their last time out.

Phoenix is playing their fourth straight road game and it have been an extended trip as they haven't played in over a week and last time out the were blown out by a 1-win Wizards team. The Suns are improved and will be great to watch this season but the Grizzlies are a 'comer' as they have fantastic balance with seven players averaging double figures. Take MEMPHIS! |

San Antonio and Portland 3:00 ET Spurs over Trailblazers- How can I not love this game? I get another opportunity to bad mouth Carmelo Anthony (who actually have been better of late...just wait) and cheer on a legendary coach he has his work cut out for him. Gone are the days when Gregg Popovich would be commanding the attention but that is basically for the most part provided to winners. But, hey the Spurs have won five of their last seven while Portland has won five of six and are an underdog at home. Go figure! Spurs are 8-3 ATS in last 11 on the road when not favored and the Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games and 1-6 ATS as home underdogs. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Atlanta's scoring machine Trae Young had his worst night as a pro scoring just four points on 1-for-11 shooting. Portland mostly likely has lost center Zach Collins for the season and Jusuf Nurkic is also out after breaking his wrist Thursday night. Blazers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight road games.

Philadelphia at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over 76ers- The 76ers look like a different team on the court under the leadership of new head coach Doc Rivers as they have become more consistent day-to-day. But, like past years I hope that they revert to their previous resume. Philadelphia is 7-1 at home but has been one of the worst road teams in the league for a number of seasons and are 16-34 32% ATS in their last 50 road and are 1-2 already in 2020-21 and they are 5-16-1 ATS in 22 games as road favorites.

This is the second of a 2-game series with the Raptors winning Thursday 111-108 as a 10-point favorite and tonight the price has dropped to -7.

Both teams are dealing with protocol issues as the Sixers are down four men but the line is now higher maybe because Ben Simmons in back although he was sub-par his first game back and 'we' expect more tonight.

Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- These two met four days ago in Portland and the Trailblazers embarrassed the Kings 125-99 and it wasn't that close. The Blazers were taunting Sacramento and as professionals they are seeking a bit of revenge. The problem is the Kings always seem to have numerous injuries and they expect injured guard Buddy Hield to suit up tonight. Portland has one three straight including a 112-111 buzzer beating win over Toronto Monday and three in-a-row in enough for these guys. The Kings are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games as underdogs.

Chip's NBA Money Game Winner Brooklyn at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Nets- Boy on boy, there has just got to be drama round these 'queens' as Kyrie ('the World is Flat) Irving still hasn't decided if his going to take his third straight season off. Kevin Durant took his mini 10-day vacation and is pleased with Irving's absence as he get to handle the ball more and can make more anonymous social media comment about his teammates. Hey, not to be out done the Knicks showed some life early on but keep tossing bricks from the floor as they are one of the worst shooting teams I have ever seen at this level. But, new coach Tom Thibodeau has the Knicks playing defense going 2-9 to the under with the last 11 meetings going under. Take NEW YORK! |

But, they should have enough players tonight as Kristaps Porzingis is supposed to return to play. Although the Mavs have dominated the Hornets in Charlotte going 14-3 ATS in their last 17 visits but they are 1-6 ATS as favorites including 0-5 ATS on the road as favorites and the Hornets are 15-5-1 ATS as underdogs and 7-0 ATS as home dogs.

L.A. Lakers at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Two huge variables make this a difficult side to settle on one good the other not so good. The first is of course is LeBron James who is looking to guide Los Angeles to back-to-back championships. The other is Houston's James Harden who knows how to score points but not win games is a factor is he wants to 'play.' These two met Sunday at the Toyota Center and the Lakers won easy 120-102 as the Rockets shot poorly and didn't protect the ball committing 21 turnovers. LA is just 3-8 after a straight-up win but after that, Lakers get cocky and Rockets get back. Take HOUSTON! |

Miami has their last game cancelled against Boston as the Heat had eight players on the protocol list. Philadelphia has had their own virus issues and have dropped three straight after starting the season 7-1. The Sixers were beaten in Atlanta last night as they were missing five players of their own but they expect the return of en Simmons tonight. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Indiana takes to the road after playing six of seven at home and they are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games when favored and 9-3 after a SU loss. Sacramento is 0-5 ATS in their five games overall and are looking to rebound from consecutive 20-point ATS losses. Take the KINGS! |

The Suns have improved to the point where they are favored on the road while the Wizards with the addition of the most 'overrated' player in NBA history Russell Westbrook now hooked up with scorer Bradley Beal are last in defense allowing 123 ppg.

Detroit has shown some life after a terrible start losing their first four and seven of eight before posting a 110-105 OT win over Phoenix Friday night. The Jazz have won the last eight meetings but are just 2-7 ATS as road favorites and 6-23-2 ATS in their last 31 overall as favorites. Pistons a 'live' home dog going 5-1 ATS in last six.

The 76ers are 5-0 straight up at home and here they are getting points from a sub .500 club. It looks like Embiid will get to play point guard as he wishes as three Sixers' guards are out because of virus and other crap. It's just DENVER! |

This doesn't make any kind of sense what-so-ever although the Kings De'Aaron Fox strained his right hamstring last time out and mostly likely will be sidelined tonight. The Raptors are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the Kings 1-6 ATS after scoring over 125 points the pervious game. Take TORONTO! |

This is the fourth straight road game for the Jazz who opened this trip with a win at San Antonio but were crushed in their last two at Brooklyn and New York. Despite those pair of losses Utah is 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games as underdogs. The Bucks who owned the best record in the league the past two seasons is just 1-5-1 ATS after a SU win. The Jazz have dominated the series between these two going 27-8 ATS in the last 35 meetings. Take UTAH! |

Washington at Boston 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Celtics- Washington has two of the most exciting guards in the NBA but there is one proverb that stands true through time when playing this game and it is 'they only play with one ball.' Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal can virtually score at will but have just two wins in eight games. Boston at 6-3 is respectable as they try and find the proper mix after some major personnel changes. The Wizards have won the last two meetings and are 4-0 ATS on the road this season. The inconsistent Celtics are 2-7 ATS after an ATS win and 1-4 ATS as favorites. Take WASHINGTON! |

Now, Minnesota...there's a team that just can't dig a hole deep enough losing their last five by an average 24 points but, they are coming off a 'cover' 123-116 at Denver. I really don't care for the Blazers as a team, so for me to back anyone that has Carmelo Anthony on their roster is a team to 'FADE.' But just look at the number, they have no business being a double-digit favorite against anyone. This is a chance for them to rout somebody and they will. Take PORTLAND! |

Toronto at 1-5 is off to their worst start is 14 seasons and the fact that they are forced to call Tampa, Fl home doesn't help. Meanwhile, Phoenix is 5-2 and off to their best start in a decade. Despite their woes the Raptors are 9-4 ATS as underdogs and 13-6 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Phoenix has risen and the Suns are hot going 15-3 ATS in their last 18 overall remember they closed out the 'Bubble' 8-0 SU and ATS! The trends and numbers support the home team here as the Suns are 6-1 ATS against the Raptors as hosts. Sill, this time around it's TORONTO! |

Houston at Indiana 7:00 ET Rockets (+) over Pacers- Here comes Houston and the NBA's 3-time leading scorer James Harden off his worst game of the season, his first game under 30-points this year. Indiana is off a very fortunate to win 118-116 OT at New Orleans where they trailed by 9-points with 17 seconds to go and 6-points with 6 seconds left and tied the game at the buzzer. The Rockets have two home wins both over Sacramento and are off a home loss to the Mavericks 113-100 but are 5-1 ATS against the Pacers in the past six meetings. Take HOUSTON! |

01-06-21 | Wizards +6.5 v. 76ers | Top | 136-141 | Win | 100 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
Washington at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over 76ers- Can Doc Rivers really be the difference in Philadelphia...as the 76ers who have been the biggest underachievers in the NBA the past three seasons currently have the best record (6-1) in the league. 'We' caught 'on' the Sixers three times during their four game SU and ATS streak but now it's about to turn. Washington started in horrid fashion losing their first five games including opening night to Philadelphia 113-107. The Wizards have won their last two as Westbrook and Beal are starting to mesh. Although they haven't fared well in Philly the Wiz are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-05-21 | Jazz v. Nets +5 | 96-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Utah at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Jazz (+) over Nets- So Kevin Durant is down for seven days minimum and the Nets have been disappointing after a quick 2-0 start and are 1-4 SU and lost five straight to the number. It looks like Brooklyn is so cocky about their ability to score with all their firepower they don't feel the need to play defense as they have allowed 120 ppg in their last five. Utah has put together a pair of wins for the first time this season and they have always gotten the best of the Nets. Utah has won the past four meetings and 7-of-8. The Jazz are also 9-2-1 ATS as road underdogs and are 5-1 ATS in their last six at Brooklyn and the Nets are 1-4 ATS against teams with winning records. And yet now without Durant the Nets will play defense and reverse this trend. Take BROOKLYN |

Sacramento at Golden State 10:00 ET Warriors (+) over Kings- How Golden State is at .500 is a bit of a shock after the way they started the season with losses by 26 to Brooklyn and 39 points to Milwaukee. But since then they have won 3-of-4 as Stephen Curry took it upon himself to get aggressive scoring a career high 62 points against Portland Sunday night and Draymond Green has returned to the lineup. One thing about great shooters is that when they are hot they stay 'on' as they find their groove. The Kings just dropped a pair of games at Houston and they finish their three game road trip tonight. Sacramento has played well is 7-0 ATS in their last seven trips to Golden State but all as underdogs. They are also 11-4 ATS after a SU loss but just 1-6 ATS as road favorites and 7-15 ATS as favorites overall. Take the WARRIORS! |

01-04-21 | Pacers +1.5 v. Pelicans | 118-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Indiana at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Pelicans- Both clubs are moving in opposite directions as New Orleans has won two-in-a-row for the first time this season and stand at 4-2. Indiana is also 4-2 but they opened the year with three straight wins and have now dropped 2-of-3 all at home. This is just the Pacers second away game with the only other road game a 21-point win at Chicago. Somehow the Pelicans are 8-1 ATS in the last nine meetings and that bother me a bit but, they were receiving a bushel of points then whereas they are not favored as they are 3-7 ATS as home favorites. Indy is 8-3 ATS after a SU loss and will rebound here. Take INDIANA! |

01-04-21 | Knicks +7 v. Hawks | Top | 113-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
New York at Atlanta 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Hawks- Break-up the Knicks! New York has won 3-of-4 and two of three which came on the road on this current four game trip. Atlanta's free wheeling style opened the season with three straight wins and 4-of-5 also incurred their defeat at the hands of Cleveland Saturday as they committed 20 turnovers. The Knicks have a completely new outlook under Tom Thibodeau and attitude and the difference is striking. NYK is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four trips to Atlanta while the Hawks are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as home favorites. Take NEW YORK! |

01-03-21 | Blazers v. Warriors +5.5 | Top | 122-137 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
Portland at Golden State 8:30 ET Warriors (+) over Trailblazers- This is the second of the two-game home series between these two as the Trailblazers took out the Warriors 123-98 Friday night. In that game Portland turn the tide by made 20 3-point shots while the Warriors made only seven. Golden State at times looks like the worst the in the NBA as all of their three losses have come by double-digits losing by 26, 39 and 25 points as their defense ranks No. 30 (Dead last). Although State is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games they are 24-11 ATS against the Blazers at home. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

01-03-21 | Mavs v. Bulls +6 | 108-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
Dallas at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Mavericks- Chicago returns home after a three game road trip where they won a pair at Washington before getting blown out at Milwaukee 126-96. Dallas just finish a two-game home stand rebounding from a loss to Charlotte with a win over Miami on Friday and still are waiting for the return of Kristaps Porzingis averages 20 points and nearly 10 rebounds a game. Two trends of note are that the Mavericks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and 8-21-2 ATS after a SU win. Chicago is 4-1 ATS after a SU loss but are just 12-30 ATS in their last 42 home games as underdogs. So 'we' will tread lightly but have...CHICAGO! |

Denver at Minnesota 7:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Timberwolves- Both of these clubs are struggling right now as Minnesota opened the season with a pair of wins but have now dropped three straight while the Nuggets have lost 4-of-5. The Timberwolves will be without start center Karl-Anthony Towns who will miss his fourth straight game and his absence leaves a huge void that the Wolves can't fill. Minnesota's losses have been by an average of 26.7 points. Take DENVER |

01-02-21 | Cavs +7 v. Hawks | Top | 96-91 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show |
Cleveland at Atlanta 7:30 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hawks- The Hawks are flying high and if Trae Young continues to score at this rate many will be hard pressed to match Atlanta's offensive output. They are No.1 in scoring at 129 ppg and are 4-1 coming off a huge 114-96 win at Brooklyn and return home for this game tonight. Cleveland jumped out 2-0 on the season and have dropped their last two including a 119-99 loss to Indiana two nights ago. The Cavaliers will be without Kevin Love and often that is a plus as they have started playing more competitive basketball going 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. Atlanta as favorites haven't done all that well going 1-3-1 ATS in their last five and they are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 on zero days rest. Take CLEVELAND! |

01-02-21 | Knicks +9.5 v. Pacers | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
New York at Indiana 7:00 ET Knicks (+) over Pacers- These two met in their season opener 10 days ago a 119-99 home win for the Pacers who are playing hosts to the Knicks once again. New York had their mini winning streak stopped New Year's Eve by Toronto as they shot a franchise low 8% from beyond the arc going 3-for-36. The Knicks have four guards sidelined with injuries but altogether they don't equal the single player that Indiana had to shelve in T.J. Warren who led the team in scoring last season. New Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau has his squad playing defense first and they 5th in total points allowed and 3rd in defensive FG percentage. Indiana is 12-5 ATS as host against New York and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 as favorites. But, things change...take NEW YORK! |

Charlotte at Philadelphia 7:00 ET 76ers (-) over Hornets- Charlotte is off a home loss last night as crippled Memphis came to town and netted the Hornets to the tune of 108-93. Although they closed the 2020 season along with this season are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as underdogs and 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. I have more they are 9-3 ATS in the second of back-to-backs. Philadelphia who seem to be more focused under Doc Rivers are 7-2 ZATS in their last nine as home favorites and 14-6 Ats in their last 20 home games overall and they are also 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings Take the SIXERS! |

01-01-21 | Blazers v. Warriors +4 | 123-98 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
Portland at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Trailblazers- Golden State started the season with blowout losses to Brooklyn and Milwaukee but have responded with wins at Chicago and Detroit. This is their home opener and it will be a back-to-back home series against the Trailblazers as they meet again on Sunday. The turnaround was strictly because he just took over the last two times out scoring 67 points with 10 three-pointers. Golden State will be aided by the return of two players for the Warriors Draymond Green returns and for Portland Carmelo Anthony returns and that can only help any opponent. Portland is 10-24 ATS in their last 34 trips to Golden State. Take the WARRIORS! |

L.A. Clippers at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Clippers- I wonder about these 4-1 LA Clippers because in their loss to Dallas they scored just 27 points in the entire first half. Now, I will give you that Leonard was not in the lineup, but they have played and won countless times while he's getting his nails clipped. After opening with a win at Portland the Jazz have failed to cover three straight and squeezed out their lone will against the striped bare Oklahoma City Thunder. Going back to last season the Jazz opening win was the only ATS win in their last nine games overall. Still, it's time...take UTAH! |

L.A. Lakers at San Antonio 7:30 ET Spurs (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles had their way with the Spurs two nights ago as LeBron celebrated his birthday in a big way as the Lakers had their best shooting night of the short season. That of course was the game that 'Popovich' helped the NBA make a political statement by arranging the first female to coach in the NBA to get her opportunity. Wow, what a history making league! So impressive was Becky Hammon's performance (they lost 121-107) that the Spurs will have another shot at the Lakers. They get the money tonight...take SAN ANTONIO! |

12-31-20 | Knicks v. Raptors -9 | Top | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
New York at Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Knicks- Okay, enough le'ts get back to reality! Having 'had' the Knicks both games I am quite comfortable looking to pay against them here. Toronto who isn't sure where home is hasn't won a game (0-3) and they haven't covered' either. Now, the Raptors who have defeated New York eight straight times are a healthy 9-point favorite. If ever there was a spot to use a cliché this is 'what the doctor ordered' as Toronto needs a fix in the worst way. Last time out the blew a 14-point second half lead to the 76ers and they have already claimed that this is a 'must win' and I agree. Take TORONTO! |

Portland at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Clippers- The Clippers responded to their worst loss (123-74) in franchise history like true professionals rebounding against the lowly Timberwolves with a convincing 124-101 win. Kawhi Leonard of course was missing from both contests and most likely will sit out once again as he's still no sure as to when his eight stitches will be removed from his mouth. Portland of course did their thing last time out against the Lakers who they have a mastery over the NBA Champs. The Blazers also have an edge on the Clippers going 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs while LA is 1-4 ATS in their last five as favorites. Take PORTLAND! |
