11-27-19 | Hawks v. Bucks -14.5 | 102-111 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Antetokounmpo ranks second in the NBA in scoring (31.1 points), fourth in rebounding (13.9) and 15th in assists (6.4), and recorded a triple-double (24 points, 19 rebounds, 15 assists) on Thursday against Portland. The Hawks continue to struggle, losing for the seventh straight time and 13th time in their past 15 games in Monday’s 125-113 home loss to Minnesota. Point guard Trae Young scored 37 points, but a 10-point halftime lead evaporated as Atlanta gave up 72 points in the second half. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | Wizards v. Nuggets -10 | 104-117 | Win | 100 | 3 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With a significant edge on defense, the Nuggets should be able to have their way with this team. Denver allows 101.7 ppg. The Wizards allow 120.3 ppg. Washington's opponents hit 48.3% of their field goals. Teams that face the Nuggets only hit 43.2% of theirs. The fact that the Wizards upset them here, the last time these teams met, figures to help the Nuggets remain fully focused. Consider laying the points. |
|||||||
11-25-19 | Jazz +8 v. Bucks | 118-122 | Win | 100 | 2 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jazz are on a nice run with three consecutive victories and seven in the last nine games following a 128-120 triumph over New Orleans on Saturday at home. Monday's visit to Milwaukee opens a five-game road trip for Utah, which handed Milwaukee its last loss Nov. 8 in Salt Lake City. |
|||||||
11-24-19 | Mavs +5.5 v. Rockets | 137-123 | Win | 100 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston features a pair of former league MVPs in James Harden and Russell Westbrook but the best player on the floor Sunday might be Dallas point guard Luka Doncic, who led his team to 40-plus routs in each of the last two games. The Mavericks are winners of four in a row and followed a 142-94 pasting of the Golden State Warriors with a 143-101 drubbing of the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday, polishing off a perfect homestand. Harden and Westbrook could not quite hang with another pair of superstars on Friday and watched Kawhi Leonard, Paul George and company come through down the stretch in a 122-119 setback at the Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Pelicans +7.5 v. Jazz | 120-128 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New Orleans Pelicans are in search of their fourth straight victory when they visit the Utah Jazz today. New Orleans sputtered out of the gate with just three victories in its first 12 games before responding with three wins by an average of 7.3 points. The winning streak comes at a time when rookie forward Zion Williamson is nearing a return from preseason knee surgery. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Pistons v. Bucks -12 | 90-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo has never averaged six assists in a season but that could change this year as he continues to improve his MVP game. The Bucks try for their seventh straight victory when they host the Detroit Pistons on Saturday with coach Mike Budenholzer continuing to create opportunities for Antetokounmpo to make his teammates better. Milwaukee is 18-2 versus the Central Division since the start of 2018-19. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | Magic v. Pacers -6.5 | 106-111 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Indiana Pacers are winners of eight of their last 11 games and are coming off a dominating performance at Brooklyn on Wednesday in a 115-86 victory. The Pacers will try to pick on an injured opponent and tick off another win when they host the Orlando Magic today. Indiana could not keep pace at Houston and was knocked off at home by the Milwaukee Bucks before stepping up in Brooklyn behind career highs of 24 points and 13 assists from shooting guard Aaron Holiday, who was pressed into point guard duties due to injuries to Malcolm Brogdon and T.J. McConnell. |
|||||||
11-19-19 | Warriors v. Grizzlies -6 | 114-95 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Memphis was done in by Denver's 44-17 second quarter on Sunday but consecutive wins at San Antonio and Charlotte plus a home win over Utah prior to the Denver game shows that Memphis may be better than expected this season. Ja Morant was chosen second in the 2019 NBA Draft and leads the team in scoring (18.4) and assists (6.0). Mike Conley, who? SF Jackson was the 4th pick of the 2018 draft and is averaging 14.5 & 5.3. Brooks is adding 13.4, former Toronto center Valanciunas is averaging almost a double-double at 12.8 & 9.4 plus Gonzaga rookie Brandon Clarke is averaging 12.3 & 6.3 (he's shooting 37-fof-50 from the floor over his last six games). |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Hawks v. Clippers -10.5 | 101-150 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Clippers expect to get Kawhi Leonard and Paul George onto the court together for the first time this season when they host the Atlanta Hawks today. George returned from surgery on both shoulders in the Clippers' 132-127 loss at New Orleans on Thursday, but Leonard sat out on the second night of a back-to-back as part of his load management regimen. George showed little rust on the offensive end and looked like the MVP candidate he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder last season while scoring 33 points on 10-of-17 shooting in 24 minutes. |
|||||||
11-15-19 | Celtics -7 v. Warriors | 105-100 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics earned their ninth consecutive win with a 140-133 triumph over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday and embark on a five-game road trip with some momentum behind them. The Celtics will try to push the win streak to double digits when they visit the Golden State Warriors today. Boston dropped the season opener 107-93 at Philadelphia but has not fallen since and is showing itself capable of winning with defense in some games and offense when necessary, though the team is hoping the defense becomes the most consistent piece. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Mavs -7.5 v. Knicks | 103-106 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The NY Knicks finished with the NBA's worst record last season (17-65), as well as its worst home record of 9-32 (Bulls were also 9-32 at home). New York lost 120-102 on Tuesday at Chicago, falling to 2-9, which matches its worst 11-game start in franchise history. The Knicks will try to pull out of their rut and save coach David Fizdale's job when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday in the first game of TNT's doubleheader. The Mavs are 6-4 to open the current season but enter having lost TWO of three. The Knicks are averaging only 99.5 PPG (29th) on an NBA-worst 41.6% shooting. In this quick turnaround from last Friday, expect the Mavs to gain a measure of revenge from that embarrassing home loss. Lay the points. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Bulls v. Bucks -11.5 | 115-124 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks are winners of five of their last six games but will have to continue their hot play without one of their key players. The Bucks will play their first game this season without All-Star swingman Khris Middleton when they host the Chicago Bulls on Friday. Middleton suffered a thigh contusion in Sunday's 121-119 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder and was ruled out for the next three or four weeks after undergoing an MRI exam on Monday. Milwaukee took all four meetings last season by an average of 11.5 points. |
|||||||
11-14-19 | Clippers v. Pelicans +4.5 | 127-132 | Win | 100 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Leonard will probably sit out the second contest of a back-to-back after recording 26 points and 12 rebounds in Wednesday's 102-93 loss to the Houston Rockets while Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers ponders how best to incorporate George. Clippers have won when Kawhi Leonard has played. They are 7-0 when he plays, and 0-3 when he doesn't. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Nets +3 v. Suns | 112-138 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Opposing perimeter players aren't having much trouble scoring against the Brooklyn Nets, but Kyrie Irving is making sure their own offense keeps up. Irving and the Nets will try to push their winning streak to three straight when they visit the Phoenix Suns today. Brooklyn allowed Brandon Ingram to go off for 40 points against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday and watched Damian Lillard put up 60 on Friday but managed to earn the win in both contests as Irving averaged 36 points. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Bucks v. Thunder +8 | 121-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Thunder have won three of their last four after getting past Golden State 114-108 on Saturday in the opener of a two-game homestand. Danilo Gallinari led a balanced attack with 21 points and he is 9-for-12 from 3-point range over the last two games. Oklahoma City improved to 4-2 at home and it has won three in a row at Chesapeake Energy Arena. |
|||||||
11-10-19 | Pacers v. Magic -3.5 | 109-102 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It's been a bit of a rough start for the Magic. They failed to break 100 points in their first seven games. But they have reached triple digits the past two games and continue to play lockdown defense. We think it's a good time to play Orlando as it certainly looked as if they turned a corner in their last game. Friday's 118-86 win against Memphis was most definitely the Magic's most complete effort to date. It was a season-high in points scored. Defense hasn't been a problem so far as they lead the Eastern Conference with just 98.2 points allowed per game. Here at home, they are giving up just 93.2 points/game. An Indiana team that's going to be really short-handed tonight isn't about to solve this Orlando defense. |
|||||||
11-08-19 | Kings v. Hawks +3 | 121-109 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hawks: 24-8 SUATS when hosting Sacramento, including 13-0 SU and 12-1 ATS when the Kings are coming off a loss, and 5-0 ATS mark at home when coming off a home loss of 20-plus points |
|||||||
11-06-19 | Bucks v. Clippers +1 | 129-124 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kawhi Leonard got the better of Milwaukee's Giannis Antetokounmpo in last season's Eastern Conference finals, when the Toronto Raptors got past the Bucks in six games on their way to winning the NBA title. The two meet for the first time since that encounter when the Bucks visit Leonard's new team, the Los Angeles Clippers. Leonard, who was NBA Finals MVP last season, is making his mark with his new team by averaging 29.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 2.3 steals in six games. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | 76ers +2 v. Blazers | 129-128 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Philadelphia built its roster to be bigger and more physical than other teams and the defense is proving to be disruptive in the early going, as the 76ers are limiting opponents to 100.4 PPG (4th) through four games. What's more, rookie forward Matisse Thybulle (3.0) and PG Ben Simmons (2.8) rank first and second in the league in steals.All five Philly starters are averaging 13 points or more, with Harris (18.8 & 9.0) and Horford (14.0 & 9.0) starting alongside of Embiid, while Simmons (16.5-5.2-8.0) is joined by Richardson (13.2 & 4.0) in the backcourt. |
|||||||
11-02-19 | Nuggets v. Magic +4.5 | 91-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Saturday games, and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. While Orlando is 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 Saturday games, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, and 13-6 ATS in their last 19 home games. |
|||||||
10-29-19 | Mavs v. Nuggets -6 | 109-106 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets aim to continue their recent home mastery over Dallas when they host the Mavericks on Tuesday. Denver has won the last six meetings at the Pepsi Center and 11 of 13 entering the first of two games to be played in the Mile High city this season. The Nuggets are one of four remaining unbeaten teams but will look to improve on a 36.7-percent shooting effort that occurred in Monday's 101-94 road victory over the Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
10-28-19 | Magic v. Raptors -4.5 | 95-104 | Win | 100 | 1 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pascal Siakam is warming to the role as a go-to player through the first three games of the season and the 25-year-old power forward looks to continue his hot streak when the Toronto Raptors host the Orlando Magic on Monday night. Siakam is averaging 28.7 points along with 10.7 rebounds, and has drained 8-of-17 from 3-point range to help the Raptors win two of three contests to start the post-Kawhi Leonard era |
|||||||
10-26-19 | Kings v. Jazz -9 | 81-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz look to defeat Sacramento for the ninth time in the past 10 meetings when they host the Kings on Saturday. Utah will be looking to rebound from a porous Friday night road effort against the Los Angeles Lakers when it committed 23 turnovers and succumbed 95-86. Jazz coach Quin Snyder will hope to receive a better effort against Sacramento after his team was often outclassed in the loss to the Lakers. |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Wizards +8.5 v. Mavs | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wizards' identity is built around All-Star shooting guard Bradley Beal, and he signaled his intention to continue building with the team by signing a two-year, $72 million extension last week. Washington is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 vs. Western Conference while the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |
|||||||
10-23-19 | Bulls v. Hornets +3.5 | 125-126 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Hornets were 25-16 here last season. While there is some talent on the roster, this is still essentially the same Chicago team which went 22-60 last season. Until they prove this year will be different, I don't feel they're ready to be favored on the road. Even here. |
|||||||
05-21-19 | Bucks -3 v. Raptors | 102-120 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 9-point deficit that Milwaukee faced on Sunday was the key to their defeat. They won the last three quarters before falling in double overtime. The Bucks had every right to win Sunday despite not playing up to their capability. Khris Middleton should be focused after a poor shooting game and expect Eric Bledsoe to have a short leash. Bledsoe is best when he penetrates and makes the right decisions but Malcolm Brogdon has been playing great. George Hill has also been a steadying force on both ends of the floor for Milwaukee. Look for Coach Budenholzer to tweak his offense and use some pick and rolls to allow Giannis to get to the rim |
|||||||
05-19-19 | Bucks +2.5 v. Raptors | 112-118 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Milwaukee will be comfortable in Canada. They beat the Raptors in their own arena in December when Giannis had an ordinary 19-point game. They also beat them on the last day in January when they held Lowry and Leonard to a combined 11 for 31 from the floor. The only time they lost to Toronto this season came when they were playing the second of a back-to-back game and Ersan Ilyasova only had 3 points in that game. Ersan had 17 on Friday. The Bucks bench outscored the Raptors reserves Friday 54 to 39. |
|||||||
05-16-19 | Blazers v. Warriors -7 | 111-114 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Portland could not stop the Splash Brothers of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Those two were 22 for 47 from the floor and the Warriors shot 52% from the floor. Golden State was a plus 8 in steals, plus 3 in blocks and a plus 9 in assists. Golden State also forced 21 turnovers. As much as people disparage the Warriors bench, they have guys that know their roles and as a group, they work well together. Twelve players scored for Golden State on Tuesday. The bench players were a combined 4 for 5 from downtown. The Warriors also got back Damian Jones, who began the season as the starting center. If he can give them 8 or 10 minutes a night, it will take a ton of pressure off of Andrew Bogut and Kevon Looney. |
|||||||
05-12-19 | Blazers v. Nuggets -5.5 | 100-96 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver was fourth in the league during the season as a home chalk and it’s always been a chore to play in the Mile High. Portland was dead last in the Association as the road dog in the regular season, a measly 12-19 ATS (38.7%). |
|||||||
05-10-19 | Warriors +7.5 v. Rockets | 118-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Golden State Warriors own the lead in the Western Conference semifinals over the Houston Rockets, but they are about to take the court as the biggest underdog they have been during their championship run. The Warriors will try to overcome the odds and take the series without superstar Kevin Durant when they visit the Houston Rockets for Game 6 on Friday. Durant left Game 5 in the third quarter on Wednesday and was diagnosed on Thursday with a mild calf strain following an MRI, and he will not make the trip to Houston. The Rockets failed to take advantage of Durant being out of the lineup down the stretch on Wednesday and suffered a 104-99 setback, leaving them one loss away from another disappointing playoff exit. Durant missed 4 games this season and Golden State won three of them. In the lone loss in that time frame, the Warriors were playing the second of back-to-back games after losing by a point in Miami, 126 to 125 |
|||||||
05-06-19 | Bucks v. Celtics -1.5 | 113-101 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston figures to adjust big time in this game after they allowed Giannis Antetokounmpo to get to the free-throw line 22 times in Milwaukee’s Game 3 win here. The Bucks got a break in the last game when Pat Connaughton scored 12 and George Hill put up 21 points. That pair averaged only about 14 points together during the regular season. Head coach Brad Stevens may have to tweak his lineup a bit here. The Celts went small in the last game and they only had 3 blocks all night. Big man Aron Baynes only played 2 minutes. When he is on the floor, he takes a lot of pressure off of Al Horford. The Boston bench should be focused too, after being outscored 42 to 16 by the Bucks reserves. |
|||||||
05-05-19 | Raptors +2.5 v. 76ers | 101-96 | Win | 103 | 4 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Off a convincing 21 point win for Philly in Game 3, the Raptors have quickly fallen out of favor with the betting public. They opened as slight favorites for this game but are now underdogs. The Raptors, 9-6 ATS as road underdogs, are 11-4 SU off a road loss this season. That includes a perfect 5-0 SU mark when off a double-digit road loss. They're also 6-1 SU when off a loss by 15 or more, a perfect 3-0 SU when off a loss by 20 or more. |
|||||||
05-04-19 | Warriors +3.5 v. Rockets | 121-126 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Beyond Harden, the Rockets lack scoring depth. Houston’ guard Chris Paul, who was so crucial in his team’s near “de-throning” of the Warriors in last year’s Playoffs, has been a shell of his former self this season. Golden State lost DeMarcus Cousins to injury in the first round, but it still has the best player on the planet in Kevin Durant playing for it. As good as Harden is, he’s still lacking the talent to get over the hump this year. |
|||||||
04-28-19 | Rockets v. Warriors -5.5 | 100-104 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston is just 1-3 ATS when playing with three or more day's rest in between games. In addition the Rockets are just 5-7 ATS the last 12 times that they were listed as road underdogs of six or fewer points. The Warriors are a perfect 9-0 SU the past 2+ seasons, in the first game of a series. |
|||||||
04-27-19 | Spurs +6 v. Nuggets | 86-90 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units One of the hardest things for a coach to do is to convince his players to keep the pedal to the metal when trying to blow out a team. It’s natural thing to relax but the Spurs did not do that on Thursday. They came out firing and they won the last quarter by a dozen. After shooting 60% from the free-throw line in the previous game, San Antonio was 14 for 17 from the line on Thursday. They were also 4 for 17 from distance in their previous loss but hit the long ball at 42% Thursday. Rudy Gay finally broke out with 19 points and another good game by him and the Spurs can move to the second round. |
|||||||
04-25-19 | Nuggets v. Spurs -3 | 103-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Spurs have been better at home all year than on the road. Denver has exceeded expectations this season, but it definitely struggled with consistency down the stretch. Note that the Nuggets are just 18-25 ATS on the road this year, while the Spurs are 14-5 ATS this season as a home favorite of six points or less. |
|||||||
04-24-19 | Jazz v. Rockets -8 | 93-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Royce O’Neale also had a nice game with 11 points, 11 boards and a block, but Royce only scored 5 and had 4 boards during the first 82 games. Despite the Houston starting guards having off games, the Rockets still had Utah right where they wanted them as they were up 3 with 12 minutes to go. But they were outscored 31 to 12 in the last stanza. Clint Capela has respiratory issues and he scored just 4 points in the last game. He probably will not be 100% for this game but Kenneth Faried should slot into his position nicely. The Rockets bench figures to be hungry. The six Houston reserves that played Monday, had a total of 5 points. Also, look for Chris Paul to be more of a facilitator after Houston only had 14 assists on Monday |
|||||||
04-23-19 | Magic v. Raptors -11.5 | 96-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors attempt to close out their Eastern Conference first-round series with Orlando on Tuesday when they host the Magic in Game 5. Orlando pulled off a stunning upset in Game 1 before the Raptors rolled off three straight victories, the last two on the road. Second-seeded Toronto rolled to a solid 107-85 victory in Game 4 on Sunday with All-Star small forward Kawhi Leonard leading the assault with 34 points for his second 30-point effort of the series. "Road wins are the best, especially in the playoffs," Leonard told reporters afterward. |
|||||||
04-21-19 | Raptors v. Magic +5.5 | 107-85 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Raptors got up more shots but they got kind of lucky because the Orlando starting guards had off games. Orlando was only down by 3 points Friday with 41 seconds to go but the Raptors got a ‘must’ offensive rebound and that sealed the deal. The Magic’s shooting guard Evan Fournier was only 1 for 12 from the floor Friday and that killed the club. During the season he hit at 44% from the floor and 34% from distance. Terrance Ross was solid off the bench for Orlando and the second unit of the Raptors had trouble guarding him on the perimeter |
|||||||
04-21-19 | Warriors -9 v. Clippers | 113-105 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Warriors have won championships without DeMarcus Cousins and if they’re going to do it this season again, they’ll have to do it without the big man, as he tore his achilles in the Game 2 setback. However, Golden State is filled with veteran talent. Consider that Golden State is 12-7 ATS in its last 19 when playing with two days rest, and are 16-10 ATS in their last 26 after scoring 110 points or more in four straight games, while the Clippers are a horrible 11-21 ATS in their last 32 as a home underdog, including only 3-9 ATS this year. |
|||||||
04-20-19 | 76ers -1.5 v. Nets | 112-108 | Win | 100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn will be without Ed Davis and that will put a lot of pressure on Jarrett Allen to play smart. Davis was good in Game One with 12 and 16 boards but he tweaked his ankle and could only play 10 minutes in the loss on Thursday. Joel Embiid is questionable here but the Philly center position accounted for 23, 21 boards and a couple of blocks on Thursday. In the last game, Philly held Brooklyn to 8 for 39 from beyond the arc and that is no fluke. During the season, the Sixers were 4th in defensive 3-point field-goal percentage |
|||||||
04-19-19 | Blazers v. Thunder -7.5 | 108-120 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Outside of the friendly confines of the Moda Center (where they are now 34-9), Portland is just 21-20 on the year. OKC swept the regular season series from Portland, 4-0, so they have to be a little stunned at how the first two games of this series have gone. Getting held under 100 pts both times is incredibly disappointing, especially when you consider that hadn't happened to them since a three game stretch in November where they actually won two of the three games! The Blazers not having Nurkic has to be factored in as does the fact they are still just 9-24-2 ATS in the first round of the NBA playoffs. |
|||||||
04-16-19 | Spurs +7 v. Nuggets | 105-114 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The smothering San Antonio defense could be the difference again. Denver was in the bottom half of the league from beyond the arc this season and the Spurs held the Nuggets to 6 for 28 from downtown on Saturday. Derrick White was a major contributor on Saturday for the Texans. He was a Division II player and did his time in the G league so the hunger is there. He was 7 for 10 from the field Saturday. |
|||||||
04-16-19 | Magic v. Raptors -10 | 82-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Magic, who are still below 500 (20-24) on the road, are on a nice run. They've won five straight, the last three of those as underdogs. However, that shouldn't be cause for concern as they're 0-5-1 ATS the last six times that they were off three or more consecutive upset wins as an underdog.

Rating: 2 Units Detroit struggled mightily down the stretch; notching only four wins in their final eleven games. They didn’t cover a point spread in any of the four regular season meetings with the Bucks, losing three of them by double digit margins. Blake Griffin is nowhere near 100% with his knee injury, even though he is expected to play; a non-factor in two of the three games he suited up down the stretch. And let’s not forget that Dwayne Casey’s teams routinely underachieved in the postseason during his tenure in Toronto. |

Rating: 2 Units Chicago is closing out another disappointing season, with plenty of regulars on the sidelines, and it has dropped seven of the last eight games after a 96-86 loss at home to the NBA-worst New York Knicks on Tuesday. The Bulls, who dropped two of three against the 76ers this season, including a 116-96 loss Saturday, own the fourth-fewest wins in the league and have not had leading scorer Zach LaVine (23.7) since March 18 due to a thigh injury. |

Rating: 2 Units Sacramento recently saw its playoff aspirations disappear and its dream of a rare winning record went by the board with Friday's 119-98 loss at Utah. Forward Julius Randle has taken advantage of Davis' injuries and playing time reductions, and continued his strong stretch run with 31 points and 14 rebounds at Phoenix. New Orleans scored 76 points in the first half but just 50 after the break. The clinchers: New Orleans is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record while the underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two. |

Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Pistons are stumbling down the stretch and fell into the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference with a third straight loss on Friday. The Pistons will try to avoid falling out of the top eight in the East when they host another desperate team in the Charlotte Hornets. Detroit looked comfortable to return to the postseason until its recent swoon, and not even the 45-point return of All-Star forward Blake Griffin on Friday could keep it from dropping a 123-110 decision at Oklahoma City. However, Detroit is 11-1 ATS in their last 12 home games while Charlotte is 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. |

They'll try their hand at one of the squads ahead of them in the East when they pay a visit to the Boston Celtics for a critical matchup tonight. Miami knocked off Washington, Dallas and New York in the final eight days of March and sits a half-game up on ninth-place Orlando in the East. The Celtics, who visit Miami on Wednesday for the back end of the home-and-home set, dropped a 110-96 decision at Brooklyn on Saturday, their fifth setback in the last seven games.

04-01-19 | Bucks v. Nets +2.5 | 131-121 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Note that the Nets play with the added “double revenge” factor, most recently falling 113-94 here back on February 4th to the East leading Bucks. Note though that Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as questionable for this one (additionally note that Milwaukee is just 2-5 ATS in its last seven when playing on zero days rest.) The Nets broke a two-game slide with a win over Boston last time out. Brooklyn is currently in seventh in the East, but with only a 1.5 games lead over the ninth spot, it can ill afford to take the foot off the gas at this point. |

Denver followed up a 124-88 loss at Indiana with a win over Detroit, only to drop a 112-85 decision at Houston on Thursday and recover by knocking off the Oklahoma City Thunder 115-105 on Friday. The Wizards were eliminated from postseason contention while dropping six of their last seven games but aren't giving up on the season and took the Utah Jazz down to the wire before suffering a 128-124 road loss on Friday.

The Clippers will try to avoid back-to-back losses when they return from a four-game road trip to host the Cleveland Cavaliers. Cleveland dropped its last four games - all against teams ticketed for the postseason - and is looking for experience down the stretch.

Rating: 2 Units Overall the Pacers average 107.9 PPG, while allowing 102.3. Darren Collison averages 14.9 points and 5.7 assists per night. The Thunder not only play with revenge, but they also play with an overall sense of desperation after losing five of their last six, including a blowout to the Grizzlies on Monday. George had 30 points and 12 rebounds in a losing cause. OKC averages 114.3 PPG, while allowing 111.1. Russell Westbrook averages 25 points, 9.8 boards and 8.3 assists per night.

The Wizards have lost four in a row, including a 113-108 setback against Miami at home Saturday night, pushing them 6 1/2 games behind the eighth-place Heat in the Eastern Conference with eight games to play.

Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Timberwolves ended a five-game slide with a 112-99 win at Memphis on Saturday. They've had two days off since, but that might not be much of an advantage as the Wolves are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games playing on two days rest. The Clippers are a solid 26-12 ATS as a favorite on the season and still have a lot to play for as they battle Portland for fourth place in the conference. Minnesota on the other hand can pack it in after last week's official elimination from playoff contention. The Clippers are 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Minnesota and the favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. |

Rating: 2 Units These teams are fighting tooth and nail for the final playoff spot in the East, putting added incentive for the home side to pull out a victory here and to defend its court. The Heat return to Miami off a win over the Wizards in Washington, shooting a blistering 50 percent from the floor in the victory, led by 20 points from Dwayne Wade off the bench. Despite Orlando’s recent “up-tick” in play, note that it’s still 0-4 ATS in its last four on the road. The Heat on the other hand are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Magic are 13-22 SU overall as a visiting team this season |

Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz were not happy with their performance in a loss at Atlanta on Thursday and looked like a different team while capping the four-game road trip with a 114-83 demolition of the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. The Jazz, who are winners of six of their last seven contests, will try to continue their push up the Western Conference standings when they return home to host the Phoenix Suns. Utah held the Bulls to 35.9 percent from the floor and blocked eight shots in Saturday's win after allowing the Hawks to knock down 19 3-pointers and shoot 47.1 percent from the floor in the 117-114 setback.

Rating: 2 Units Boston is only 3-7-1 ATS in the second game of a back to back. Compounding the issue is the fact they blew an 18-point lead in the fourth quarter in Charlotte and were outscored 30-5 to end the game. The team is short handed right now too as they continue to play without Aron Baynes, Al Horford and Gordon Hayward. It's not as if San Antonio's last loss was bad one. They went down in Houston, losing by only six, even though James Harden went for a ridiculous 61 points. But for the most part, the Spurs defense has been very good in the second half. |

Harden and the Rockets will try to earn their 12th win in the last 13 games and inch closer to clinching a playoff spot when they begin a two-game road trip by visiting the Atlanta Hawks. Harden's 32-game streak of scoring 30 or more points came to an end on Feb. 25 and Houston is 10-1 since that contest, including a 117-102 drubbing of the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday.

Rating: 2 Units The Washington Wizards are 11 games below .500 and threatening to fall out of the Eastern Conference postseason race.

03-13-19 | Warriors v. Rockets -3.5 | 106-104 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Warriors are 4-5 SU since the All Star Break; a woeful 2-7 ATS. Golden State isn’t an underdog very often, but when they are, they’ve struggled to cover – only two ATS covers as a dog all year, despite their consistent early season injury woes. And the Warriors have struggled mightily in their regular season meetings with the Rockets: 0-3 SU, 0-3 ATS. Coming off an ugly home loss to Phoenix, everyone is expecting a strong bounce back tonight. Then again, the Warriors are just 7-14 ATS following a defeat this season; unable to bounce back strong. Houston is playing their best ball of the season right now. |

03-11-19 | Hornets +9.5 v. Rockets | 106-118 | Loss | -108 | 5 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rockets are playing their best basketball of the season right now. They've won eight in a row, but find themselves playing in the second night of a back to back for the first time since an escape in Miami back on Feb 28th. That game saw Houston stun the Heat as they rallied back from a 21-point second half deficit, led by James Harden's 58 points. The majority of wins during the current streak have been close games w/ Houston only winning two of the eight by more than eight points. Last night was as close as it gets as the Rockets outlasted the Mavs 94-93 in Dallas. While it was the third consecutive game holding the opponent below 100 points, they are only 4-5 ATS playing w/ no rest this season and have three outright losses. |
