Rating: 2 Units Detroit bolstered its rotation by signing veteran shooting guard Wayne Ellington as a free agent after he cleared waivers on Saturday and expects him to take the minutes that opened when starting shooting guard Reggie Bullock was shipped to the Los Angeles Lakers in front of the trade deadline. Ellington joins a team that enters play on Sunday a half-game behind the Miami Heat for the No. 8 spot in the East and won its last three games by an average of 18.7 points. |

Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings are taking advantage of their longest homestand of the season to surge back toward the top eight in the Western Conference. They will attempt to finish the six-game stay at Golden 1 Center with another victory when they host the sliding Phoenix Suns, losers of 13 straight. Sacramento won the first three games of the stay before running into James Harden and the Houston Rockets on Wednesday and falling 127-101, but it rallied late Friday night to top the Miami Heat 102-96 and move within a half-game of the eighth-place Los Angeles Clippers entering Saturday. While the Kings are eyeing an end to their 13-year playoff drought, the Suns are nowhere near respectability. They started fast by taking an early 17-point lead against the mighty Golden State Warriors on Friday before fading late and dropping a 117-107 decision. The clincher: Phoenix is 8-21 ATS in their last 29 vs. NBA Pacific. |

Rating: 2 Units The results of Dallas' big move in front of the deadline won't truly be felt until Kristaps Porzingis is able to get back on the court next season following knee surgery, but some of the other pieces from the deal are settling in. Point guard Trey Burke came off the bench on Friday and collected 18 points, five rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals in 27 minutes. The Trail Blazers, who are 10-13 on the road, will play their next two away from home before heading into the All-Star break with a home date against the West-leading Golden State Warriors.

Rating: 2 Units The Charlotte Hornets are lingering around the bottom of the top eight in the Eastern Conference and did nothing in front of the trade deadline on Thursday to improve the team while several other teams in the East took obvious steps forward. The Hornets will continue to rely on All-Star guard Kemba Walker to drive them forward when they visit the Atlanta Hawks today.

Rating: 2 Units Golden State is expected to be in the market for a veteran player on a buyout in the near future but won't do anything to mess with a core that saw it win three of the last four championships and 13 of the last 14 games, including a 141-102 drubbing of the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. The Clincher: Phoenix is 7-21 ATS in their last 28 vs. NBA Pacific. |
|||||||
02-08-19 | Bulls v. Nets -8.5 | 125-106 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets looked like they were slipping off a pace that saw them emerge as playoff contenders but bounced out of a slump with an impressive win and kept the core of the promising young team intact through Thursday's trade deadline. The Chicago Bulls, who visit the Nets today, were more active in front of the deadline and brought in a piece they hope can help them contend in the near future in small forward Otto Porter Jr. Brooklyn is looking to end a drought that saw the franchise miss the playoffs in each of the last three seasons and pulled out of a three-game slide by knocking off the Denver Nuggets 135-130 on Wednesday.

The Hornets are just 7-18 in road venues with eight of the setbacks coming by 15 or more points. Charlotte was in position to sweep a three-game home stand when it held a 20-point lead on Tuesday but wilted down the stretch and lost 117-115 to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics are surging with wins in nine of the last 10 games and outlasted one of the best teams in the Western Conference with a 134-129 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Celtics will try to avoid a letdown when they make a one-game stop to visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on today. Boston's lone loss in the last 10 games was a 115-111 setback to the defending champion Golden State Warriors, and the team is feeling very confident after shooting 59.3 percent from the floor and placing eight scorers in double figures in the win over the Thunder. |
|||||||
02-04-19 | Bucks v. Nets +7.5 | 113-94 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 89-point effort against the Magic was Brooklyn's worst since Dec. 28, and there seemed to be a rare lack of energy for a team that recently stormed through a 21-6 stretch. "We've got to freshen up a little bit," coach Kenny Atkinson told reporters after his team shot 36.3 percent. "I don't think we had great juice tonight, one through 12. We didn't have the pop we normally do. It happens. It's slippage, but this isn't the end of the world. I just wish we would have played better." Russell has scored at least 20 points in 13 of 16 games since missing the team's visit to Milwaukee on Dec. 29 in order to rest. Keep in mind that the Nets have won nine in a row at home. |

Rating: 2 Units The San Antonio Spurs began their current four-game winning streak with a victory at New Orleans and they look to keep the run going when they host the Pelicans today. The Spurs picked up a 126-114 win over the Pelicans last Saturday prior to New Orleans star forward Anthony Davis' trade request, and they've tacked on three more victories since. Derrick White scored a career-high 26 points to lead San Antonio past the Brooklyn Nets 117-114 on Thursday at home. While the Davis drama slowly unfolds with the league's trade deadline looming, the Pelicans are navigating a difficult stretch against many of the Western Conference elites.

Rating: 2 Units It was an emotional scene the last time the Los Angeles Clippers and Detroit Pistons met, with Blake Griffin drawing cheers from his former home fans while leading his current team to victory. Griffin will try to pull off the same trick while leading his new team at home when the Pistons host the Clippers today. Griffin, who was drafted first overall by Los Angeles in 2009 and was with the franchise until being shipped to Detroit last season, exploded for 44 points on 13-of-23 shooting in a 109-104 win at the Clippers last month and is averaging 30.6 points over 10 games, beginning with that performance. The clincher: Detroit is 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 vs. NBA Pacific. |

Rating: 2 Units The Kings return home after a 2-4 road trip. Their most recent loss came against the Clippers, but guard D’Aaron Fox was a bright spot in a losing cause with 21 points, four boards and three assists. Sacramento though has been a “different” team at home this season, and it’s been consistent for bettors in this position as well by going 14-5 ATS in its last 19 after a SU loss of more than ten points. Atlanta on the other hand are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven following a SU win. |

Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics are winners of six of their last seven games and are deep enough to thrive even when All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving sits out. The Celtics could be without Irving again when they wrap up a five-game homestand by hosting the Charlotte Hornets today. The Celtics were just fine without Irving on Monday, when Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown scored 21 points apiece to pace a 112-104 win over the Brooklyn Nets that improved the team's home record to 20-6. The Hornets eased past the lowly New York Knicks 101-92 on Monday at home but own a 7-17 record on the road. |

Rating: 2 Units The Nets are making their way up near the top teams in the East with wins in six straight - a stretch that began with a 109-102 over the Celtics on Jan. 14. Brooklyn could take a step back after it was reported over the weekend that guard Spencer Dinwiddie would be undergoing surgery to repair a torn thumb ligament on Monday and is expected to miss three to six weeks.

Rating: 2 Units The Washington Wizards have done well to climb back into the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference, but they're about to play in a place that has delivered nothing but disappointment for them over the years. The Wizards will visit the Spurs today trying to snap an 18-game losing streak in San Antonio. Washington enters the contest on a bit of a high note after securing its eighth win in the last 12 games with a 95-91 triumph at Orlando on Friday.

Rating: 2 Units The Memphis Grizzlies are enduring another down season, leading to reports that franchise cornerstones Mike Conley and Marc Gasol are on the trade block. The Grizzlies should still have the two around today, when they attempt to snap a seven-game slide with the Sacramento Kings visiting.

Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets are no longer a scrappy young team putting some wins together and are instead becoming a legitimate threat to reach the Eastern Conference playoffs and perhaps earn home court advantage. The Nets will try to push their latest winning streak to five in a row when they host the Orlando Magic. The clincher: Brooklyn is 24-8 ATS in their last 32 vs. NBA Southeast. |

01-21-19 | Pelicans +3 v. Grizzlies | 105-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Grizzlies may offer up a soft landing spot for the Pelicans, having lost five in a row and 11 of their last 12. Included in that slide is a 19-point loss at New Orleans on Jan. 7. Memphis was also without a pair of big men in Saturday's 119-90 loss at Toronto, as Marc Gasol (back) and Joakim Noah (personal) missed the contest. It has been held under 100 points in 15 of the last 22 games and was hampered by 26 turnovers against the Raptors. |

01-21-19 | Thunder -9 v. Knicks | 127-109 | Win | 100 | 2 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder seemingly snapped out of a funk with a dramatic victory at Philadelphia on Saturday and will try to make it two straight on the road when they visit the New York Knicks on Monday for the traditional Martin Luther King Day matinee at Madison Square Garden. Paul George's four-point play with 5.1 seconds left lifted the Thunder past the 76ers 117-115, a big boost for a Western Conference contender that had dropped five of its previous six. The Knicks are near the bottom of that conference and have lost five in a row, the last coming on a last-second goal tending call in the annual London game Thursday. The 101-100 loss to Washington was New York's 18th setback in the last 20 games overall, and the club is 0-8 at Madison Square Garden in that stretch. |

Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets attempt to win for the 11th time in 14 games when they host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday. The Nuggets rolled to a 135-105 rout of lowly Chicago on Thursday and now look to take advantage of the worst team in the NBA. The shellacking of the Bulls had an extra dose of good feelings behind it after Denver was crushed 142-111 by Golden State two nights earlier. Cleveland's gear has been plummeting downward as Friday's 115-99 loss to Utah was the team's 14th in 15 contests. The Cavaliers are getting routed regularly as 19 of their last 22 setbacks have been by double digits. |

Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Pistons have recorded consecutive victories for the first time since just after Thanksgiving, and they'll attempt to keep their run going when they host the Sacramento Kings on Saturday. Behind 32 points and 11 rebounds from Blake Griffin, the Pistons clawed their way past the Miami Heat 98-93 on Friday to improve to 2-0 on their three-game home stand. The Kings recently finished up a 3-0 home stand but they've dropped five in a row on the road, including Thursday's 114-95 setback in Charlotte to begin a six-game road trip. Guard Buddy Hield scored 24 points while making 6-of-11 3-pointers in the loss, while his teammates were 5-of-22 from beyond the arc. |

01-19-19 | Mavs +6.5 v. Pacers | 99-111 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers went from one extreme to the other in their last two games and will try to find some consistency when they host the Dallas Mavericks today. The Pacers are having little trouble breaking apart inferior opponents but tend to struggle against the better teams in the Eastern Conference. Indiana's last three losses are to the Toronto Raptors, Boston Celtics and Philadelphia 76ers by an average of 22.3 points but sandwiched in between are easy wins over the Cleveland Cavaliers, New York Knicks and Phoenix Suns. However, the Mavericks aren't in the same category as the Knicks, Cavaliers and Suns but sit four games under .500 as they get set for a two-game road trip at Indiana and Milwaukee. The clincher: Dallas is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |

Milwaukee's hot stretch has seen it move a season-best 20 games over .500 as well as seize the best record in the NBA. The Bucks have won an NBA-best 23 games by double digits and led by as many as 31 during Wednesday's 111-101 road win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Milwaukee has won seven of its last nine road games and is a solid 12-8 away from home this season. Orlando is slipping in the other direction with 11 losses in its past 16 games and the Magic blew a 21-point lead before falling 117-115 to the visiting Brooklyn Nets on Friday. |

Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors seem to have found their high gear over the last few games and are about to hit the overdrive button with the addition of another All-Star. The Warriors will welcome center DeMarcus Cousins to the lineup when he makes his team and season debut on Friday at the host Los Angeles Clippers. Cousins, who signed a one-year deal with the defending champions in the off season after suffering a torn Achilles as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans, told ESPN that he is coming back better after spending the rehab process working on all areas of his game and he is ready to help Golden State win. The Clippers are sliding in the wrong direction in a tightly packed Western Conference and are failing to take advantage of a four-game home stand that saw them fall to Detroit, New Orleans and the Utah Jazz in the first three contests. |

Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets look to bounce back from a thorough whipping when they host the struggling Chicago Bulls today. The Golden State Warriors set a record with 51 first-quarter points en route to steamrolling the host Nuggets 142-111 on Tuesday. The 31-point loss to the Warriors knocked Denver out of first place in the Western Conference, ended a 12-game home winning streak and it also stunned coach Michael Malone. Chicago is 0-4 on a five-game road trip and the defeats include being lambasted 146-109 by the Warriors last Friday. |

Rating: 2 Units Jimmy Butler will play against his former team for the first time since being traded when the Philadelphia 76ers host the Minnesota Timberwolves today. Butler clashed with the Minnesota organization prior to the season and was critical of teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Andrew Wiggins before eventually being dealt to Philadelphia on Nov. 12. The 76ers have gone 20-10 since the trade, but Butler is having trouble fitting in and recently challenged coach Brett Brown about his offensive role. Butler is averaging 18.7 points in 25 games with Philadelphia after being acquired along with center Justin Patton for forwards Robert Covington and Dario Saric and guard Jerryd Bayless. The clincher: Philadelphia is 39-18-1 ATS in their last 58 vs. Western Conference. |

Rating: 2 Units The Bulls have lost three straight, and Chicago is one of the worst teams in the NBA. Brooklyn comes into this one having won four straight head to head meetings. The Bulls are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games, and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games versus a team with a losing road record. The Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games versus a team with a losing straight up record. |

01-06-19 | Magic v. Clippers -6.5 | 96-106 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Orlando Magic are going through some ups and downs on their current road trip, though so far the downs are outweighing the ups. The Magic will try to bounce back from another discouraging loss when they make the fourth stop of a six-game trip by visiting the Los Angeles Clippers. Orlando began its trip by getting run off the floor in a 125-100 loss at Charlotte but bounced back by crushing Chicago 112-84 on Wednesday, only to squander a 19-point, first-half lead and drop a 120-103 decision at the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. The clincher: Los Angeles is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 vs. NBA Southeast. |

01-05-19 | Pelicans -8 v. Cavs | 133-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Orleans should have a chance to get a rare road win against a Cavaliers squad that has lost eight in a row and will be playing the second half of a back-to-back. Six of the eight straight setbacks have been by double digits, including the 117-91 home loss to Utah on Friday. |
|||||||
01-05-19 | Hornets v. Nuggets -9.5 | 110-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hornets lost 122-84 beating to Dallas at home in Charlotte Wednesday night. They're just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a double-digit loss at home. The Denver Nuggets had failed to cover the spread in five straight games before just barely covering at Sacramento two nights ago. However they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine at Pepsi Center (12-6 ATS at home on the season) and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win. |

01-04-19 | Pacers -6 v. Bulls | 119-116 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are moving up the standings by taking advantage of a weaker stretch in the schedule and are hoping to extend the winning streak to six straight when they visit the rebuilding Chicago Bulls today. Each of the Pacers' last five wins have come against sub-.500 opponents, and the Bulls fit that bill as well. Indiana, which is opening a five-game road trip at Chicago and will see the schedule tighten up a bit with visits to Toronto and Boston during the trip, finished off a two-game home stand and ended 2018 by knocking off the Atlanta Hawks 116-108 on Monday. |
|||||||
01-04-19 | Wizards v. Heat -6.5 | 109-115 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Heat are operating without an All-Star point guard as well with Goran Dragic (knee) out until mid-February but come in hot with wins in seven of the last nine games as small forward Justise Winslow acts as the point guard for an offense with several weapons. The clinchers: Washington is 6-35 ATS in their last 51 road games while Miami is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall. |
|||||||
01-03-19 | Raptors +2 v. Spurs | 107-125 | Loss | -109 | 14 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kawhi Leonard makes his highly anticipated return to San Antonio when the Toronto Raptors visit the Spurs on Thursday. Leonard was once a beloved figure and NBA Finals MVP for the Spurs but returns as a villain after last season's falling out with the franchise, following seven seasons and the subsequent trade to Toronto. Leonard tuned up for his return to San Antonio by scoring a career-best 45 points in Tuesday's 122-116 victory over the visiting Utah Jazz. |

01-02-19 | Thunder -5.5 v. Lakers | 107-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Lakers will be without star forward LeBron James for the fourth straight game when they host the Oklahoma City Thunder today. Los Angeles is 1-2 without James, who injured his left groin in a Christmas Day rout of the Golden State Warriors. The Lakers recorded their first win without James on Sunday, when they closed the game with an 18-4 burst to post a 121-114 victory over the visiting Sacramento Kings. Oklahoma City split a home-and-home with the Dallas Mavericks, beginning with a 105-103 loss in Dallas before recovering to notch a 122-102 home rout on Monday. The clinchers: Oklahoma City is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Pacific and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. |
|||||||
01-02-19 | Wolves v. Celtics -5 | 102-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves are struggling to perform consistently at the defensive end, leading to losses in eight of the last 12 games. The Timberwolves will try to find a way to get key stops and close out on 3-point shooters when they finish out a three-game road trip by visiting the Boston Celtics today. Minnesota knocked off Miami 113-104 in the opener of the road trip on Sunday but could not muster up the same defensive effort while allowing the New Orleans Pelicans to knock down 14-of-25 from 3-point range in a 123-114 loss the next night. The clinchers: Boston is 25-8 ATS in their last 33 home games. While Minnesota is 0-6 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Boston. |

01-01-19 | Blazers v. Kings +1.5 | 113-108 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |

12-30-18 | Kings -1 v. Lakers | 114-121 | Loss | -101 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After a resounding Christmas Day win over the defending champs, the Los Angeles Lakers have hit the skids without their superstar leader. LeBron James is still considered day-to-day as the Lakers prepare to host the Sacramento Kings, who delivered one of Los Angeles' two James-less losses. The Kings have enjoyed some time off since Bogdan Bogdanovic's game-winning 3-pointer lifted them to the 117-116 win over the Lakers. They play seven of their next eight at home after the visit to the Staples Center. James' teams have lost 13 in a row when he's been out of the lineup. |

Rating: 2 Units The team has won four of its last five games and changed the course of Friday's contest with a 22-0 second-half run to turn a seven-point deficit into a 15-point lead. Danilo Gallinari recorded 19 points and 10 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, but he was just 5-for-13 on a night in which Williams was leading the way.
