The Kings tend to bounce back well from a loss. They are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games after a loss. Before that loss last time out they had won three straight over playoff contenders and they lost in OT in San Antonio before that winning streak. That loss to the Knicks was a head-scratcher, but this is a young team that can be inconsistent. But we still think they are hot and playing well overall and we expect a big effort in a very winnable game tonight.

Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in past years and they are playing a team that is hungry for this quality win and to get back into the NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats just have one loss on the season, a true road game at Baylor which went down to the wire. They have not had many competitive games and I feel they will pull away late to win this game by 7-10 points. Arizona is 12-5 ATS (3 pushes) in their last 20 games.

Arizona State has won 4 straight games and they are a tough team to beat in Tempe. Georgia is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Stanford is better this year, but they are not the type of team to be laying this kind of a number in a true road game.

Orlando is one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA and one of the best defensive clubs, and you have to always look for the under when this team has a total in the 220s. Five of the last seven games they have played have gone under the posted total, and they average under 103 PPG on offense. The Rockets have played under in three of their last four, and we don’t expect a shootout here and it’s very likely this total finishes well under 220.

This team has been covering lines like crazy lately but are staying under the radar because of all the other big stories in the NBA this season. The Pistons are just so inconsistent, and we don’t think they will do well in this setting that they aren’t used to. We think there’s a great chance for a Dallas double-digit win here.

Phoenix started their season off hot then went into a bit of a lull. But they have got their groove back lately and this team has covered in four of its last five. After a four-game road trip they came back home in that tricky first game after a road trip and walloped the Timberwolves. Now they face an even bigger step down in competition against the Grizzlies. Memphis is a very bad team this season. They are getting a lot of points on a nightly basis from the oddsmakers but can’t cover any lines. They are coming off a win and a cover last time out against the Warriors, and they should be content tonight and won’t play desperate since not on a losing streak. This looks very much like a double-digit win for the home team.

The Wizards have had some really high totals. But some of these numbers are getting ridiculous. Bettors are probably blindly taking the over every night so the bookies are increasing the numbers. The Hornets are one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA. They have scored more than 107 only once in their last eight games. They play some pretty solid defense. This should be a higher scoring game than they are used to, but we had this one handicapped around 223 so we think there is some nice value on the under.

They are playing with a lot of confidence and playing like the playoff contender many thought they were coming into the season. When a good and popular team like the Bucks start winning a lot and covering the lines sometimes get out of control, and we think that is the case here as we expected 9.5 but got a few more points than we were expecting on the spread.

This will not only be a back-to-back but their third game in four nights, and fatigue is starting to become a real issue at this point of the season. The Pelicans haven’t had great results, either, but they have played a very tough schedule with recent games against Dallas, OKC (X2), Lakers, Clippers and Jazz. Their last win was Nov. 21, against this same Phoenix team, in Arizona, and they won by 3. They are rested with the night off last night and at home in this matchup, and we think this is a great chance for a rare comfortable win. The Pelicans have covered in seven of the last nine meetings between these clubs, and we expect that trend to hold strong tonight.

Toronto has dominated this series and they have been the ATS darling of the NBA this season. They have also dominated this series. But beating the NBA oddsmakers is never that easy. If this line came out on the first game of the season, Orlando would probably be a slight favorite. But they have gotten off to a slow start and bettors are down on this team, a non-public team that doesn’t get wagered on in the best of times. They played well last time out in getting their first road win, and we think that positive momentum will put them in a position to compete for the win here tonight.

Portland just doesn’t seem to have it this season. They are 6-12 on the season and, although they have played a road-heavy schedule so far, they are just 1-4 at home. They are just coming off a disastrous road trip where they went 2-4 with only wins over the struggling Bulls and Spurs. This will be the tricky first game home after a long road trip. This is a game where the home team sometimes struggles as the players often have their minds on their life off the court and there are plenty of distractions. The Thunder have been a good betting team at 10-6 ATS, and this new mix of players has had their moments. They have been playing strong defense for sure. This looks like a very winnable game for the road team, and with the day off tomorrow we think the Thunder will be the more focused team in this matchup, They also have revenge for an October loss in OKC in a game that was very close. We see this one as close also and think the road team will do what needs to be done to eek out a close win at the final buzzer.

They are a perfect 6-0 ATS when getting four or more points this season, and it looks like they are being underestimated again tonight against a Denver team that is overvalued despite their 12-3 record as they are just 7-7-1 ATS.

These teams met last week and the total wound up under 200. We think there’s a great chance this one finishes with an even lower total. These are two of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and we have reason to believe the offenses won’t be up to snuff tonight. Sacramento is coming in on a back-to-back and this offense has been inconsistent. On their lone second night of a back-to-back this season they scored only 81 points. Boston is back home for the first game after a long road trip, which is usually a bad spot for the home team with family/personal obligations looming large. Three of the last four meetings have gone under the posted total.

While the Lakers are coming in with no rest, the Grizzlies have had three nights off and they should be primed for a strong showing as an underdog. They had won three straight, including a win at home vs. Utah, so we know they can compete here if focused. But they come off two bad losses so they will likely be really focused on a strong performance here. We think they will get it.

The main reason we like this play is that the Pistons should not be laying this many points to anyone. This team has currently lost five straight and they haven’t covered in any of those contests. Atlanta has lost seven of eight. They have had a ridiculously tough schedule, however. In their last three games, they finished off a five-game road trip with visits to Staples to face the Clippers and Lakers and then came back home to face Miami. That’s probably the three best teams in the NBA. But now they are going way down in class tonight. They seem to normally play well against Detroit and have covered three straight meetings and five of six. This is the biggest favorite Detroit has been all season, and they are 1-3 ATS as a favorite at any number so far.

We just can’t help but remember the last time these teams squared off, last month, with one of the more one-sided second halves we have seen this season with the Suns outscoring the Kings 70-36 in the second half of a rout. We think Phoenix matches up well here tonight also. They have covered in five of the last seven meetings.

The Pacers are just the better team in this matchup right now. Brooklyn gpt a lot of attention this offseason for some big moves, but they are being lined like a superstar team right now but Durant will not be here until likely next season. Right now they are just another decent team trying to find their way. Remember, Kyrie Irving never did much to lead his team to big places before he teamed up with LeBron. They have lost three of four coming into this game and they are just 5-7 ATS, which tells us the bookies have them overvalued. Irving is banged up right now but will probably go and LeVert is a key player for Brooklyn who has missed some time. Indiana has been pretty good even while they wait for Oladipo to rejoin the lineup. They have lost two straight coming into this game, but that was at Houston and vs. Milwaukee, and we think they have a much better chance to succeed here against lesser competition. The Pacers are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings and 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in Brooklyn. They tend to play well here, and we see that being the situation again tonight.

This isn’t the biggest matchup for the Clippers this season, but this is probably the biggest game so far, because Paul George and Kawhi Leonard are expected to play together for the first time. Kawhi is fully integrated as the leader of the team now. And George seemed to fit in perfectly in scoring 30+ in his debut, even though it was a losing effort. Even if these guys don’t instantly click, which there is no reason to indicate that they won’t, after all Kawhi chose George as his preferred running mate, the rest of the team should rise up and play their best here. This team truly seems to be buying into the team mentality, and even though the Clips have gotten off to a slow start, at full strength we don’t think there’s a better team in the NBA. They are coming off two tough losses, at Houston in a game they didn’t play well in, and at New Orleans on the second of a back-to-back. They won’t take Atlanta lightly. The Hawks are on the fourth game of a rough road trip and were routed by a lesser Suns team last time out. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games, and we expect to see the best version of this LA team on Saturday night.

We are getting good value on the Spurs here in what is a very winnable game for them. They come into this one having lost three straight and five of six. They have had a very tricky schedule, however, and we think this team will be fine and there is no reason to panic. This team is one of the best coached in the league, and they don’t often go on extended losing streaks, and we have a feeling they will just come into Orlando and take care of business in a professional manner. They are certainly the better team in this matchup. If the Spurs had played to expectations so far they would be at least PK here. We have them as a slight favorite in this game, so getting this many points is just icing on the cake. And it’s not like Orlando has been dominating or anything, they have endured a lousy start to the season and are 4-7 so far on the year. Also, the Spurs always seem to play well here in Orlando, where they have covered in six of the last eight meetings.

This is a very high total. We think this will be a high-scoring game, but nowhere close to this posted number. The Clippers are going through a lot of transition tonight. Kawhi is likely going to sit here after playing 40+ minutes last night. Paul George is likely playing his first game in a long time and should be rusty. The Clippers are on a back-to-back so the players that played in the hard-fought game last night should be fatigued. The Clippers shots weren’t falling last night, and that could extend to this game. And the Clips should have more of a focus on defense after a poor showing on Wednesday. Six of the last eight meetings have gone under the posted number.

4 Unit Play. Take #666 Over in San Jose State @ Arizona (8p.m., Thursday, November 14 PAC12N) The Wildcats have score over 90 points in both of their games this season. If they hit that mark on Thursday, we should be able to collect with the over. San Jose State has gone over the posted total in 5 straight games against PAC 12 teams. Arizona has gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 games against Mountain West teams. Both trends hold true tonight. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports

We will side with the home team as Patrick Ewing looks for even better things in year 3 of his tenure. Georgetown is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against Big 10 teams. Penn State never seems to have a good season and always does just enough to fall short of NCAA Tournament consideration and expect this year to be no different under Coach Chambers.

The Clippers have played a home heavy schedule so far. They are just 1-2 on the road this season, and their lone win was against Golden State, which turned out to be not that special as the Warriors just aren’t good this season. This is their biggest road test so far. Westbrook is out for the Rockets, but this is still a very good team. It looks like Kawhi will play tonight for the Clippers, but George will probably debut for Los Angeles tomorrow, and it seems like this team has a bit of distraction for that situation heading into this game. The Rockets are a team that seems to care more about the regular season and seeding while the Clips want to be healthy for the playoffs. We think they will take this game far more seriously tonight, and we have a short line here for a Rockets team that has won four straight and is playing with a lot of confidence.

This game should go down to the wire and we will not worry about who wins and just collect with the over.

Both teams are off to a slow start. But we think this is just a slow start for the Blazers but that the Kings are likely a lousy team. Despite generous lines they are not covering many early-season games like they did last season (although they come into this one on an ATS streak). The Blazers got a confidence-boosting win last time out against Atlanta and they have had a pretty difficult schedule lately and we expect them to use that positive momentum to score the win tonight against this short line as a slight road favorite.

We really like what we have seen from Phoenix so far this season and this looks like a legit strong team. Last year the Kings got off to a hot start and were in the playoff discussion until falling off a cliff later in the season. But this strong play looks sustainable for the Suns barring injury. But we think that they are in over their heads tonight against a Lakers squad that is one of the best three teams in the league and looks much more together at this early point in the season than we assumed heading into the new season. The Suns have had a fairly easy schedule thus far and we think the Lakers will come into this one with a sense or purpose after a rare home loss last time out against Toronto. An angry and focused LA team should be too much for this upstart Suns club tonight, and we expect them to score a comfortable victory. They have also covered in seven of the last nine in this series!

4 Unit Play. Take #819 Memphis over Oregon (9p.m., Tuesday, November 12 ESPN) Memphis is going all in this season with James Wiseman and I just believe they are more talented than Oregon is. Playing in Portland will give the Ducks a homecourt edge, but talent wins out at the end of the day. Memphis is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. Oregon is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played on Tuesday.

Golden State was getting some very big lines there for awhile but they have covered three of four games and the bookies seemed to have backed off here a bit as we thought this one would come in at double digits. We think there’s a great chance Utah could win this one by 10+. After a two-game slide the Jazz are playing well again and they come in on a two-game win streak with impressive victories over the two best teams in the East, Philly and Milwaukee. Utah has covered in six straight meetings in this series, and we think they will take some pleasure in kicking the Warriors while they are down tonight.

The Aggies were not that impressive in their opening game and did not come close to covering the 27.5 number against Northwestern State. I expect a 20+ point victory tonight and that will be more than enough to cover this spread. ULM is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a victory in their previous game. A&M is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss in their previous game.

Both teams have leaned heavily to the under this season so far with a combined 12-7 record for the over. Also, six of the last seven meetings have gone over the posted total. Minnesota comes in on a back-to-back and they played OT yesterday and also OT in their Nov. 8 game vs. the Warriors. We just don’t see them having the energy to play strong defense tonight and we see this Detroit club achieving their offensive goals tonight. We agree with the oddsmakers that this should be a close game and both teams get their points, and OT would not be out of the question for Minnesota for three straight games!

The Suns have been almost perfect for bettors this season at 7-1 ATS. They played their worst game of the season last time out in a home blowout loss to the Heat. But they have had two nights off to regroup and they should play much better here tonight. We think the Nets come into the season a bit overrated. This team will be a real contender when Durant is in the mix, but he won’t be on the court until next season most likely. But it seems like the bookies are lining their games like he is playing because this team had a lot of offseason buzz.

Orlando ended a four-game losing streak last time out with a big win over the Grizzlies. It’s only the Grizzlies and this is not a good team, but Orlando was super dominant in that game and we think this is a team trending upwards after a slow start. They have won three straight in this series and covered in four of five meetings, and we think they match up well here as well, especially with Oladipo still sidelined for the Pacers.

We think the Wolves will bring their A Game here in this Sunday afternoon matchup and expect them to compete for the outright win.
