02-10-19 | Magic v. Hawks UNDER 224 | 124-108 | Loss | -119 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
These teams both played last night and this will be the Hawks 4th game in 5 nights, and the Magics 4th game in 6 nights. Needless to say both sides should show some factors of fatigue here this evening, and will not be ready to run and gun. This Im betting results in a lower scoring game than the lines makers expect. ATLANTA is 19-6 UNDER L/25 revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a home favorite with the combined average score of 205 ppg scored. ( Orlando beat Atlanta on Jan 21 this season) The Hawks are 0-16 UNDER L/16 with no rest off a loss as a dog facing an opponent averaging more than 24 assists per game with a combined average of 192.1 ppg scored.The Magic are 0-11-1 L/12 UNDER L/12 as a favorite off a game as a dog facing an opponent averaging less than 16 percent of points off free throws and it is before the All-Star break with a. combined average of 198.1 ppg scored.

02-09-19 | Spurs v. Jazz UNDER 219.5 | 105-125 | Loss | -107 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
Defense is the name of the game for Utah and tonight against a run and gun type team like the Spurs Im betting the put the hammer down and play some conservative lockdown D. Over the last 15 games, the Jazz have recorded a solid 105.5 defensive rating -- ranking second among NBA teams. San Antonio beat Utah 110-97 earlier this Eason but UTAH is 27-15 UNDER revenging a road loss vs opponent over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 206.3 ppg scored. UTAH is 11-2 UNDER in home games when playing with 2 days rest over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 195.7 pig scored.

The Jazz are 0-11-1 UNDER L/12 as a favorite with more than one day of rest off a game as a favorite facing an opponent getting less than 25 percent or their rebounds on the offensive end with a combined average score of 192.9 ppg. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 219.5 (SAN ANTONIO) - excellent free throw shooting team - making 80% or more of their free throws, second half of the season are 47-23 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 67% conversion rate for bettors.

02-08-19 | Cavs v. Wizards OVER 220 | 106-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Washington usually runs and guns with reckless abandon and tonight against a more conservative Cleveland team nothing will change, thus automatically pushing the Cavalier to up their pace and to run with the Wizards in a gem I have pegged to eclipse this beatable number. The Wizards are 16-0 OVER L/16 with less than two days rest off a road game in which they shot over 50% from the field which happened in a loss vs the Milwaukee last time out. The average combined score of those 16 tilts clicks in at 231.2 ppg. WASHINGTON is 14-5 OVER in a home game where the total is greater than or equal to 220 this season with a combined average of 239 ppg scored. Brooks is 16-5 OVER versus terrible defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game - 2nd half of the season in all games he has coached since 1996 with a combined average score of 231 ppg scored. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (CLEVELAND) - after a game where they covered the spread, extremely well rested team - playing 3 or less games in 10 days are 95-44 OVER L/5 seasons for a 68% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (WASHINGTON) - after going over the total by more than 6 points in three consecutive games, on Friday nights are 36-13 OVER L/5 seasons for a 74% conversion rate for bettors.

02-08-19 | Princeton v. Yale UNDER 139.5 | 60-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 40 m | Show | |
Yale hosts first-place Princeton on Friday in a game I have projected as staying under this offered total. Yale ranks high in the nation in field goal percentage defense (35th, 40.4 percent). Meanwhile, Princetons key to success this season, has been by playing physical defence and conservative type of transition basketball, that has resulted in most ly low scoring offensive outputs by themselves and their opponents. Princeton has really stepped up their defensive play of late , as is evident by allowing an average of 58.3 ppg in their L/6 games with all of them staying under the total. Today against a viable offensive threat in theBulldogs, Im expecting the visitors to be even more vigilant and will make a concerted effort to turn this into a mud wrestling affair in the trenches. This Im betting results in a lower scoring game than the lines-makers might expect. PRINCETON is 7-1 UNDER when playing against a team with a winning record this season . YALE is 9-2 UNDER versus good defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 42% or less over the last 2 seasons. PRINCETON is 11-2 UNDER when the total is 130 to 139.5 over the last 2 seasons.

02-07-19 | UT-Rio Grande Valley v. Grand Canyon UNDER 136 | 72-69 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
GCU (14-7, 7-1 WAC) enters the game against UTRGV (12-12, 4-4 WAC) on its best roll of the season. The Lopes have won five games in a row, posted four consecutive double-digit victories and return to an arena where they have a 16-game regular-season home winning streak.GCU is 7-1 in WAC play because of its defense, ranking first in the conference for points allowed per game (60.9) and opponent field goal percentage (40.8) to easily have the top scoring margin (plus-14.9) after playing each team once.I expect they will once again play lock down defence, which will effect the total score to the down side here this evening in a game that I have projected to stay under the set total.

02-07-19 | Wolves v. Magic UNDER 217 | 112-122 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
Minnesota enters this game banged up with Jeff Teague downgraded to doubtful Thursday vs Orlando ( Foot ) [PG] 02/05/2019 - Derrick Rose is "?" Thursday vs Orlando ( Ankle ) [PG] 01/16/2019 - Tyus Jones is out indefinitely ( Ankle ) [SF] 01/03/2019 - Robert Covington is out indefinitely ( Ankle ). Needless to say Im projecting that the Wolves will hav problems scoring tonight, and will be out to play a more conservative survival type of game plan.Orlando is 8th in ppg allowed in the league behind the 25th ranked pace 27th ranked offensive output and have the ability to slow the Wolves down, and limit their scoring output , especially with Teague out. Orlando is also off a run and gun affair last time out vs Oklahoma City (122-132) , on the road and are now on tired legs, as the all star breaks nears and the trade deadline rumours surrounding the team keep them off balance and Im betting directly effects their overall energy levels tonight. Under is 6-1 in Magic last 7 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.Under is 36-17 in Magic last 53 games playing on 1 days rest.Under is 36-17 in Magic last 53 games following a straight up loss. The Magic are 0-17-1 UNDER with rest off a 10+ loss as a road dog in which they had at least 5 turnovers more than their season-to-date average with a combined average of 182.7 ppg scored with no game eclipsing this offered totals number.

02-07-19 | Monmouth v. St. Peter's UNDER 125 | 53-51 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
When these teams met earlier this season they took part in a very low scoring defensive affair, with a combined 105 points going on the board. Behind the rim protection of Samuel Idowu, KC Ndefo, and Derrick Woods, Saint Peter's leads the MAAC in blocked shots, rejecting 4.6 shots per game and play a defence first style of basketball that is slow in transition. Through the first five MAAC games, Saint Peter's did not allow an opponent to score more than 63 points in a game (Siena – 60, Monmouth – 61, Fairfield – 60, Marist – 63, Manhattan – 58) and more of th same action is on board for tonight vs a Monmouth side that averages just 63.3 ppg in offence on the road. DEFENCE, DEFENCE, and more DEFENCE is my call here and a total combined score that fails to eclipse this total. MONMOUTH is 7-1 UNDER versus teams who average 6 or less steals/game on the season this season.ST PETERS is 6-0 UNDER off 3 straight losses against conference rivals over the last 3 seasons with. combined average of115 ppg scored.

02-06-19 | Suns v. Jazz UNDER 218 | 88-116 | Win | 100 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
Im projecting that the banged up and short handed Suns will have problems putting points on the road here tonight against a well rested Jazz team. Im betting this disheartened Suns team will play closer attention to defense and just try to get out of here without being to embarrassed by the final score. That will result in a total combined score that stays on the low side of the number. UTAH has gone UNDER in 19 of their L/24 off a double digit loss as a home favorite of 6 or more with he combined average score clicking in at 192.7 ppg. The Suns are 0-9 UNDER L/9 as a road 8+ dog off a loss as a home dog when they lost 2 straight vs current opponent. The Suns have only twice score more than 100 points in those 9 games with the average combined output clicking in at 94.6 ppg. The Jazz are 0-12 UNDER L/12 at home with rest off a home game when they are off two games in which their opponent had double-digit steals and it is before the All-Star break with the average combined score of 183 ppg going on the board. NBA Road teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (PHOENIX) - horrible team - outscored by their opponents by 9+ points/game, after allowing 55 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games are 33-11 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

02-05-19 | Valparaiso v. Illinois State UNDER 132 | 69-53 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Both these teams play defence first basketball systems and both do a minimal amount of damage offensively. Valpo won the most recent meeting 58-56 win at the ARC for Valpo on January 2 and Im betting on another low scoring hard fought affair here in the rematch. VALPARAISO is 9-0 UNDER when playing against a team with a winning record this season with a combined average score of 126 ppg scored.ILLINOIS ST is 16-5 UNDER after having won 6 or 7 of their last 8 games over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 126.5 ppg scored.

02-04-19 | Hawks v. Wizards UNDER 233 | 137-129 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 10 m | Show | |
This is a division game and Im expecting some physical action here , which Im betting results in a lower scoring game than the linesmakers are estimating. My own line projects a combined score of closer to 229 which gives us close to a two possession under situation. These teams have a recent history of playing fairly low scoring games with 7 of the L/8 staying under the total with the last game here in Washington back in early January ending with 212 combined points going on the board. ATLANTA is 26-9 UNDER vs. poor rebounding teams - outrebounded by opponents by 3+ per game over the last 3 seasons with the combined average score of 207.7 ppg scored. NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (ATLANTA) - after 1 or more consecutive wins, a bad team (25% to 40%) playing a team with a losing record are 30-4 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 88% conversion rate for bettors.

02-03-19 | Thunder v. Celtics UNDER 227 | 129-134 | Loss | -119 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Two of the top teams in the NBA go head to head here this afternoon in Boston as the Celtics host the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both teams can put points up on the board in bunches when need be, but today in a game that could easily played like a post season affair, Im expecting both these heavyweights to be a little more cautious and to be fairly physical. This type of abattle could easily see this combined score stay on the low side of the total /It must be noted that the Celtics own the 3rd best points per game allowed in the NBA, and are ranked just 13th in offensive production behind the 20th ranked pace. Meanwhile Oklahoma City owns the 3rd best defensive efficiency despite of playing at a fast temp behind top tier guard play. As far as the guard play is concerned the Celtics are one of the few teams in the league that can slow Westbrook and company which will also effect this combined score to the low side of the number. OKLAHOMA CITY is 8-1 UNDER as an underdog this season with a combined average of 213.4 ppg going on the board and is 10-2 UNDER on the road when the line is +3 to -3 this season with a combined average of 219.9 ppg scored. OKLAHOMA CITY is 13-4 UNDER versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 6+ points/game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 217.7 ppg going on the board.BOSTON in 18 games when playing against a team with a winning record this season have seen a combined average of 221.8 ppg scored. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (OKLAHOMA CITY) - after a win by 10 points or more against opponent after 2 straight wins by 10 points or more are 44-12 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 78% conversion rate for bettors on the blind. NBA Home teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (BOSTON) - average defensive team (43.5-45.5%) against a poor defensive team (45.5-47.5%) after 42+ games, after 2 straight games making 9 or more 3 point shots are 24-6 L/5 seasons for a80% conversion rate for bettors.

The last three meetings in this series, has seen Villanova eclipse the 80 point plateau in point production , and they scored 97 and 88 points in the two most recent meetings vs Gtown. Currently Villanova has scored 80 points for more in 5 straight while Georgetown has scored 83.2 ppg on a average this season, and has allowed 78.1 ppg in a uptempo take no prisoners style of play. The Hoyas have eclipsed the 80 point plateau in 9 of their L/11 and have a couple 100+ outputs. The Wildcats have dropped in 32 from beyond the arc in their last two games and their hitting on all cylinders and will come at Georgetown on all cylinders here, and Gtown will have no choice but to reciprocate with some fireworks of their own or be blown off the court in a game I have pegged to go over the set total. VILLANOVA is 11-1 OVER versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 37% or better of their attempts after 15+ games over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 167.7 ppg scored.

Dallas played a low scoring sleeper vs Detroit last time out losing 93-89 and now with a couple odf days rest will primed to rev things up again behind the hot hand of super euro rookie Luka Doncic .That last game saw the Cavs dealing with trade departures to NYK, but now re-engerized knowing they will have guards Tim Hardaway Jr. ( 19.1 ppg), Courtney Lee and Trey Burke (20 ppg) in the lineup I look for a big time effort in this spot vs a Cleveland team off two straight wins and playing with new confidence. DALLAS in 40 games versus sub par defensive teams - allowing 106+ points/game this season have seen a combined average of 217.1 ppg scored. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (DALLAS) - after having covered 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a struggling team (25% or less) are 33-14 OVER L/5 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors.

Meanwhile, Indiana enters this game ranked 23rd in pace and 2nd in ppg allowed in the league also struggling to score of late, ranking 22nd in scoring in a clash that has the makings of physical low scoring affair. NBA Road teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 (INDIANA) - after 3 or more consecutive losses, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team ARE 43-18 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 71% conversion rate for bettors.

02-02-19 | Western Michigan v. Central Michigan UNDER 158.5 | 64-85 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Sometimes when handicapping games we put to much into the current form of both defences and offences, rather than certain matchup situations, such as system vs system analysis and the need by individual teams to be more offensively or defensively aggressive. This matchup features a Central Michigan team the that struggles at both ends of the court, vs a home team that lies to run and gun. these two alternative systems, have proven in the past to be good under wager opportunities using certain criteria. Note: CBB Home teams where the total is between 150 and 159.5 points (C MICHIGAN) - a very good team (+8 or more PPG differential) against a poor team (-3.5 to -8 PPG differential), after a win by 6 points or less are 28-3 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 88% conversion rate for bettors.( Central Michigan is off a hard fought 86-82 win vs E.Michigan last time out, and will be in an a natural letdown situation vs a side that I sure their not inspired by which Im betting results in a tilt with a lot less offensive fireworks the some might expect).

These teams systems will make for a game that Im betting sees this combined score stay on the low side of the Total. I also expect Virginia after allowing 16 steals vs nC State last time out in OT win to get back to basics and what makes them great ( DEFENCE). HC Bennet was not happy with their performance and with North Carolina and Duke on board in the next 10 days this will be a perfect time to practice some shut down D. Miami has problems scoring, and today that situation will be exacerbated . Meanwhile,Miami will Im betting be ultra conservative here in an effort to be competitive which will also contribute to what Im betting will be a successful under wager in this spot. VIRGINIA is 17-4 UNDER off a road win over the last 3 seasons with a combined average score of 117.7 ppg scored.( Virginia beat NC State in OT last time out) CBB Home teams where the total is between 120 and 129.5 points (VIRGINIA) - off 3 straight wins against conference rivals, top level team, winning 80% or more of their games on the season are 131-75 L/22 seasons for a 63% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Note:WISCONSIN is 8-1 UNDER in home games after 3 or more consecutive wins over the last 3 seasons with the combined average score of 129 ppg going on the board. Im betting more hardcore conservative defensive action will be on the Badgers agenda again tonight against a dangerous Maryland side, that is off allowing just 52 points in a win vs Northwestern last time out. Maryland took a 64-60 win when these teams met earlier this season, and Im betting on more of the same type of action here and a total combined score that will resemble the last altercation between these Big 10 sides. WISCONSIN is 8-2 UNDER against conference opponents this season with a combined average of 126.4 ppg scored. WISCONSIN is 26-5 UNDER off an upset win over a conference rival as an underdog since 1997.

Both these teams enter this game knowing that they have to play again tomorrow. Thus I expect both will be out to make sure they don't take part in a run and gun hoops affair. This is Atlantas usually an all out take not prisoners team will now play theur fifth straight road game so their running on empty anyway. Meanwhile, Utah is one of the NBAs top defensive teams, that is off a a rare nasty Defensive performance last time out allowing 132 points to Portland in a DD loss, so they will want to settle things down in a hurry and get their defensive posture back in gear.This is the perfect type of team to get their mojo back against. The L/2 games these teams played last year resulted in low scoring affairs, (with 192 and 194 combined pointed scored an another lower scoring game Im betting will be on tonights agenda. The L/4 meetings here in Salt Lake City have gone under. Note: Under is 12-3 in Jazz last 15 home games.Under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.Under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 vs. NBA Southeast.UTAH is 13-3 UNDER in home games versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 46% or better - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with he average combined score of those games clicking in at 199.1 ppg.

02-01-19 | Thunder v. Heat UNDER 220 | 118-102 | Push | 0 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
It's interesting to note that despite of how fast paced the Oklahoma City Thunder have played this season ( 4th in pace), they are a team that ranks 3rd overall in defensive efficiency, and must not be underestimated in their stopping abilities. Meanwhile, Miami is ranked 6th in defensive efficiency in the NBA, behind the 25th ranked pace and own the 26th ranked offensive output at 105.3 ppg and have failed to eclipse the 99 point plateau in 5 of their L/8 games. The Heat compete because of their D, and Im betting they will be especially vigilante in this spot vs a side that comes at opponents behind the top tier guard play of Westbrook . With that said, Im betting on Miamis scoring woes to continue, and for Oklahoma City to not be as fluent as usual vs a stingy side that has the ability to both slow the pace, and the Thunders aggressiveness in transition. this Im betting leads to a combined score that stays below this Total. Under is 4-0 in Thunder last 4 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Under is 8-0 in Heat last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. OKLAHOMA CITY is 8-0 UNDER in road games versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 3+ per game this season with a combined average of 214 ppg scored. MIAMI is 11-2 UNDER versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 204.4 ppg scored.

No body and I mean no body and can beat the Warriors on their own home floor in a run and gun duel and Im betting Philadelphia wont try that here. Yes, there will be plenty of points going on the board here , but the Sixers need their defence to stand tall to compete and Im betting they get down and dirty in attempt to somehow disrupt their opponents flow and downtown shooting circus. This will directly effect what the combined fine score will be. It must be noted that 76ers HC Brown is 14-1 UNDER when playing against a top-level team (Win Pct. 70% or better) - 2nd half of the season as the coach of PHILADELPHIA with a combined average of 198.8 ppg scored and is 12-2 UNDER 12-2 UNDER in road games versus very good shooting teams - making 48% or more of their shots with a combined average of 206.9 ppg scored.

My own projections estimate this total to be closer to 134, thus giving us value according to those estimates on a under wager. These teams/programs have played 5 times over the 3 seasons with non of the tilts combined scores eclipsing this number. The combined average score of those games clicks in at 114 ppg, with the lowest combined score at 89 points and the highest scoring game at 131. Both schools hoops programs run essentially the same system options as they did in the above mentioned previous matchups, and when going head to head these kinds of results have a high frequency of repeating themselves within these totals perimeters. AIR FORCE is 25-6 UNDER L/31 off 2 straight wins against conference rivals with a combined average of 117.5 ppg scored.SAN DIEGO ST is 23-7 L/30 UNDER in a home game where the total is 135 to 139.5 with a combined average of 130.6 ppg scored.

The NY Knicks are currently employing a more conservative transition based style of D, which has resulted in 4 straight UNDERs, including 5 UNDERs in their L/6 trips to the hardwood and in their L/3 have not scored more than 99 points, while holding their L/3 opponents to 109, 106, 101 points in downward trajectory fashion. NYK know they will face a revenge minded team tonight and will continue Im betting play a conservative brand of basketball in order to take their opponents out of their flow. This Im betting will result in a much lower scoring tilt than the lines makers might expect. DALLAS is 31-19 UNDER revenging a same season loss vs opponent over the last 2 seasons. (Dallas lost to the Knicks 118-106 back in Nov at home) Dallas lost to Toronto 123-120 last time out, in a run and gun affair, and will now be on tired legs after that event. Under is 9-0 in Mavericks last 9 games following a straight up loss.Under is 8-1 in Mavericks last 9 vs. Eastern Conference. Under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. The Mavericks are 0-15 L/15 UNDER as a favorite off a home game with a combined average score of 203.5 ppg scored.The Knicks are 0-11 L/11 UNDER at home with rest off a loss facing an opponent averaging less than 58 ppg from 2-point range and it is before the All-Star break with the combined average score of 204.5 ppg scored. NBA Home teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (NEW YORK) - after going under the total by 30 or more points total in their last three games are 791-615 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 56% conversion rate for bettors.

01-29-19 | Pittsburgh v. Clemson UNDER 138.5 | 69-82 | Loss | -117 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh plays a real tough brand of man to man defence, and on offence they're not a team that shoots 3s constantly, so putting points on the board in bunches is not their current modus operandi. Clemson does not defend the trey well, which will be a blessing for them here tonight. Meanwhile, Clemson is a side that is struggling to score consistently, and have only breached the 70 point plateau once in their L/6 games and Im betting will struggle to put points on the board again, in a tilt that I have pegged to stay on the low side of the total. My own projections set this total at 132. Thus giving us value according to my estimates on a under wager. PITTSBURGH is 9-0 UNDER when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) after 15 or more games over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 127.5 ppg going on the scoreboard and is 6-0 UNDER versus poor passing teams, averaging 12 or less assists/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 127 ppg scored and is 19-4 UNDER versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 131.8 ppg scored. PITTSBURGH is 13-0 UNDER after 2 straight games where they had 5 or less steals over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 131 ppg scored in those tilts. Clemson HC Brownell is 16-5 UNDER L/21 after playing 2 consecutive games as a road underdog in all games with a combined average of 117.7 ppg scored. Play UNDER |

01-29-19 | Thunder v. Magic UNDER 221.5 | 126-117 | Loss | -104 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
The Magic slowed things down considerably in their two most recent games vs Houston and Washington, scoring 91 and 98 points respectively, in low scoring affairs that saw them allow 103 and 95 points on defence. Today against an explosive Thunder side, I expect more of the same conservative hoops, and prolonged scoring droughts that has become synonymous with Magic basketball. The Magic are 0-19-1 UNDER with rest after playing as a road dog facing an opponent averaging less than 16 percent of points off free throws. None of the games eclipsed this Total. The Thunder are 0-6-1 UNDER with less than two days rest off a home game in which they shot under 60% from the free throw line with none of the games eclipsing this total. Donovan L/20 games after leading their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half as the coach of OKLAHOMA CITY with a combined average of 203.3 ppg being scored. Play UNDER |

01-27-19 | Bucks v. Thunder UNDER 233 | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
My own line of 227 on this tilt is 6 points off of what is being offered thus using my projections Im betting we have value with an under wager here today between two top tier teams. I see this line as pandering to public perceptions and what is obvious high scoring offences. Note: MILWAUKEEs L/45 games versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game over the last 3 seasons has seen high scoring games, but the average combined score only clicks in at 226.2 ppg which is right about where a place that total. it must be noted that the Bucks have gone under in 7 of their L/9 games, while playing a top tier brand of defence behind the No1 ranked top rated D efficiency in the league. Yes, Oklahoma City has been shooting the lights out of late, but it must be noted that HC Donovan is 21-8 UNDER after 3 straight games where they made 47% of their shots or better as the coach of OKLAHOMA CITY with the average combined score of those tilts clicking in at 207.1 ppg. Oklahoma City also owns the 4th ranked defensive efficiency in the NBA . .The L/5 meetings have gone under the total. The Bucks are 0-16-1 UNDER as a dog with less than two days rest off a win in a home game in which they scored more than 50 points in the paint and it is before the All-Star break with a combined average score of 184.3 ppg scored with none of the games seeing more than 207 combined points scored. The Bucks are also 2-20-1 UNDER as a dog with less than two days rest off a win in a home game in which they scored more than 50 points in the paint with the average combined score of those games at 188.7 ppg with non going higher than 218 combined points. The Thunder are 3-26 UNDER as a favorite with more than one day of rest off a game as a favorite when they are off two wins as favorites with a combined average of 199 ppg scored and none of the game have seen more than 218 points go on the board. OKLAHOMA CITY is 11-2 UNDER when the line is +3 to -3 this season with a combined average score of 218.1 ppg scored and is 8-1 UNDER after a game where they attempted 100 or more shots this season with a combined average of 212.9 ppg scored.

01-26-19 | 76ers v. Nuggets UNDER 229 | 110-126 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
With Joel Embidd and Jimmy Butler expected not to play tonight for the 76ers Im betting their flow and offensive output will be great curtailed. Instead I expect HC Brown to implement a game plan that focuses on good defensive hoops, and fundamental ball control tactics. That expected strategy I expect will lead to a lower scoring game than the linesmakers might expect between two top tier teams. Note:Brown is 40-22 UNDER in road games versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more of their shots as the coach of PHILADELPHIA with a combined average of 207.4 ppg scored. The Nuggets are 0-10 UNDER L/10 by more than 15 ppg at home off a 10+ win in which they had at least 15 more shots than their opponent which was the case last night in their win vs Phoenix. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (DENVER) - good shooting team (45.5-47.5%) against an average defensive team (43.5-45.5%) after 42+ games, after a game making 12 or more 3 point shots are 41-18 L/22seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors.

Milwaukee is the NBAs 2nd most proficient offensive team averaging 117.6 points per game behind the 5th ranked pace. The Bucks do preach a defence first mentality, but tonight against a Charlotte team that has upped their offensive output of late, and looking fluid with their ball movement, Im expecting the Bucks to have to put points on the board in frequent fashion. This Im betting will lead to a fairly high scoring affair that eclipses this number. CHARLOTTE is 15-6 OVER when the total is 220 to 230 this season.The Bucks are 11-0-1 OVER as a 8+ favorite off a home game with a combined average score of 237.4 ppg scored.The Bucks are 10-0 OVER L/10 as a home favorite off a home game when they are off two wins as favorites with a combined average of 237.3 ppg scored.

01-24-19 | Pelicans v. Thunder UNDER 238 | 116-122 | Push | 0 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Without the injured Anthony Davis in the Pelicans lineup its obvious they are far less prolific offensively and instead are relying on a more conservative brand of basketball, as has been evident in their last two games, where they saw fairly low scoring games, beating Memphis by a 105-85 count and then losing to 94-98 to Detroit. Here tonight against a explosive Oklahoma City team, Im betting on them playing a physical methodical brand of hoops that will base itself on paying attention to ball control in transition. This Im betting will help keep this combined score on the low side of the Total. The Pelicans are 0-12 UNDER as a dog facing an opponent averaging less than 6 refereed turnovers per game with a combined average of 204.6 ppg scored, with the games going under by an average of more than 18 ppg. The Thunder are 0-6 L/6 UNDER off a home game when they shot better than 50 percent from the field their last two with a combined average of 196.5 ppg.

Washington is coming off its best defensive effort of the season, a 101-87 win over the Detroit Pistons on Monday. The Wizards held the Pistons to just 34 points in the opening half . That type of basketball will serve them well vs the leagues most explosive team the Golden State Warriors. I know the Warriors defeated the visiting Wizards 144-122 on Oct. 24 in a wide open affair, but Washington has transitioned into a different team since then thanks in part to losing John Wall, and the often injured Dwight Howard. With that said, Im betting on the Wizards doing everything they can to slow the champs down, in an effort to compete and have an opportunity to pull off a unlikely upset. This combination of projected events will Im betting keep this score on the low side of the Total. The Warriors are 1-14-2 UNDER with more than one day of rest off a road game when their opponent is seeking same season revenge for a loss on the road with a combined average of 206 ppg going on the board. None of the 17 tilts eclipsed this total. The Warriors are 0-10-1 UNDER as a road favorite after their opponent shot under 60% from the free throw line with a combined average of 209.1 ppg scored. The Wizards are 0-15 UNDER by more than 17 ppg as a 8+ dog off a win as a favorite when the line is at least 12 points higher than their last game with the combined average score of 184.9 ppg scored. GOLDEN STATE is 14-4 UNDER in road games versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 217.8 ppg scored.

INDIANA is 12-1 UNDER versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more of their shots this season with a combined average of 207.2 ppg scored.INDIANA is 12-1 UNDER versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 196.9 ppg scored and s 8-1 UNDER (+6.9 Units) in home games versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or kess turnovers/game this season with a combined average of 201.5 ppg scored.INDIANA is 12-2 UNDER in a home game where the total is 210 to 219.5 this season.

Portland enters this game on tired legs after a back and forth teeter totter affair last night in a game they won by a 109-104 score over the Utah Jazz in Salt Lake City. Now exhausted they will be in the precarious position of having to deal with a explosive Oklahoma City squad. Needless to say I doubt the Blazers will want to run and gun here, and will be out looking to play a more conservative brand of transitional basketball instead which will see very few fast breaks which in turn will directly skew the total combined score to the low side. Note: The Trailblazers are 0-9 L/9 UNDER off a game as a dog that had at least eight lead changes going under by more than 16 ppg with the average combined score clicking in at 202.3 ppg. Also PORTLAND is 10-1 UNDER off a win against a division rival over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 208 ppg scored.

01-21-19 | Blazers v. Jazz UNDER 218 | 109-104 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
My projected Totals estimate for this game, is closer to 215 thus according to those projections we have value with an under wager here. Utah is well rested and will be ready to play a free flowing Portland team physically here today in an effort to slow their offensive efficiency. The Jazz have held 4 of their L/6 opponents to 99 points or under, and are currently playing the kind of D we have come to expect from this hardcore blue collar group behind the 3rd ranked ppg allowed and 3rd best defensive efficiency. Meanwhile, Portland owns the 18th rank pace, and when they are not allowed to flow and connect are a team that can falter, as was the case here in Utah when they visited here back in December scoring just 96 points which followed up scoring just 90 points against the Jazz at home a couple days earlier. Im betting on a repeat type of combined score here tonight in Salt Lake City. UTAH is 14-6 UNDER after playing a home game this season with a combined average of 205.7 ppg scored.UTAH is 15-5 UNDER in home games when playing with 2 days rest over the last 3 season NBA teams where the total is 210 to 219.5 (UTAH/PORTLAND) - in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%), in January are 24-4 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 87% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average score of 206.2 ppg scored.

The Clippers are currently in disarray, and are having problems at both ends of the court, as is evident by 5 straight losses, and are now going to play todays games without forward Danilo Gallinari (back) and guard Lou Williams (Hamstring). With the Clippers offence not clicking on all cylinders of late, and injuries slowing them, Im betting a more concerted defensive effort will be on tonights agenda vs a San Antonio Spurs side, that has gone under in 7 of their L/9 at home as favorites with the combined average score of 209.4 ppg scored. Under is 5-1 in Spurs last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Both these teams play defence first basketball, but according to my numbers the Total is off by close to 5 points on the low side as the linebackers over adjust according to public perceptions and trends. My Totals data suggests this tilt should be closer to 134 to 135. Thus giving us value according to my projections. Konkol in his L/18 when playing their 2nd road game in 3 days as the coach of LOUISIANA TECH has seen combined average of 146 ppg scored.LOUISIANA TECH in their L/9 after 3 or more consecutive unders over the last 2 seasons have seen a combined average score of 140.9 ppg scored.

CBB teams where the total is between 120 and 129.5 points (CHARLOTTE) - in a game involving two love average defensive teams (67-74 PPG) after 15+ games, after scoring 65 points or less 2 straight games are 58-25 L/5 seasons for a 70% conversion rate for bettors.

01-18-19 | Warriors v. Clippers OVER 241 | 112-94 | Loss | -104 | 13 h 50 m | Show | |
This is a very high total, but for good reason, as these teams have a history of run and gun affairs with their L/9 games going over the set total with the most recent meeting seeing 256 combined points going on the board. The Warriors are currently on a 6 game win streak and have not scored less than 119 points in any of the six victories on their winning run and are averaging 133.8 points over that stretch with the three pointers reigning down by the bucket converting 18.6 treys per game during their current blitz . Im betting they come out running and gunning again, and for the Clippers to have no choice but to open up as well, in what will be another big time scoring fest. Warriors have gone over in 6 of their L/7 Dickson games . Clips: 4-0 O/U in their 4th straight home game / 9-1 OVER L10 as div dogs and have gone 6 of 7 times at home vs .600 or better opposition.

When St.Louis played St.Jospehs last season both games were well below this set total with 119 and 121 points outputs and Im betting on a similar outcome here tonight. Note: St.Jospehs offensive flow in transition is being tested in a big way as injuries to Pierfrancesco Oliva and Lamarr Kimble test the team in a big way . Defence becomes highly important if the Hawks want to be competitive here which adds credence to this being a lower scoring game between jesuit rivals. Saint Louis is 17th in the NCAA in adjusted defensive efficiency at kenpom. The Billikens lead the A-10 in scoring defense, yielding 62.5 ppg. CBB Road teams where the total is between 130 and 139.5 points (ST JOSEPHS) - after being beaten by the spread by 54 or more points total in their last ten games, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a winning team are 24-4 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 86% conversion rate for bettors with the average combined score clicking in at 126 ppg.

Arkansas State plays a much more wide open style of hoops then Texas Arlington scoring average 75.2 ppg on offence and have allowed north of 83 ppg in 10 road games . Arlington when pushed can light up the board and had 82 points vs App State recently and Im betting they will be pushed tonight and will do significant offensive damage in a tit that Im betting eclipses this Total.

Chicago under their new interim head coach Jim Boylen originally wanted to implement a defence first system, but that plan looks like it has gone out the window as the Bulls are taking part in run and gun games on a consistent basis of late, with their L/5 going over the total, with a combined average of 231 ppg going on the board. Meanwhile, LAL since James went down with an injury has consistently struggled to score, and are averaging 99.2 ppg in tier L/5 to the hardwood. With the Lakers desperately trying to get their offence untracked, Im betting they will be more aggressive tonight vs a side that has allowed more than 123 ppg in their L/5 trips to the hardwood.The combination of the Bulls lack of D, and the Lakers need to up the ante on offence Im expecting a fairly high scoring affair that goes over the set total. NBA road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (CHICAGO) - a good offensive team (98-102 PPG) against a below average defensive team (102 or PPG), after scoring 100 points or more 3 straight games are 30-7 OVER L/5 seasons for a 81% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 225.2 ppg going on the board.

Im not betting that we wont see a physical grinding game, Im just estimating the combined score will eclipse this offer. Line value resides with an OVER wager. St.Louis and their opponents in their 15 games this season have seen a combined average of 130.1 ppg scored. Fordham has seen a combined average of 131.6 ppg scored in their games this season.

SACRAMENTO is 12-2 UNDER versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 110+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 207.8 ppg scored. PORTLAND is 43-29 UNDER when playing against a team with a winning record over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 213 ppg scored. PORTLAND in their L/46 games when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons have seen a combined average of 212.4 ppg scored. PORTLAND in their L/31 games when the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons has seen a combined average of 219 ppg scored. SACRAMENTO in their L/80 ages when the total is 220 to 229.5 have seen a combined average of 219.5 ppg scored. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 210 (SACRAMENTO) - in a game involving two marginal winning teams (51% to 60%), in January games are 28-4 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 87% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 207.6 ppg scored.

01-13-19 | Rider v. Niagara OVER 159.5 | 104-84 | Win | 100 | 4 h 55 m | Show | |
These teams play fast paced hoops. Rider can score efficiently averaging 77 ppg on average but their defence is atrocious allowing 82+ ppg. Meanwhile, Niagara averages 78.3 ppg at home, while allowing 75.9 ppg in slightly elevated action. When these types of teams meet they usually feed off the others energy which Im this afternoon results in a fairly high scoring game that eclipses the total. NIAGARA is 10-2 OVER in home games versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 45% or worse over the last 3 seasons with a combine average of 168.9 ppg scored. NIAGARA is 13-2 OVER when the total is 159.5 or more over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 176.2 ppg scored.NIAGARA is 9-0 OVER in a home game where the total is 160 or more over the last 2 seasons with a combine average of 181. 9 ppg. Home teams against the total (NIAGARA) - an average offensive team (67-74 PPG) against a poor defensive team (74-78 PPG) after 15+ games, after allowing 75 points or more 4 straight games are 24-3 OVER L/5 seasons for a 89% conversion rate for bettors on the blind with a combined average of 164.9 ppg scored.

01-13-19 | Marist v. St. Peter's OVER 126 | 63-72 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
My projections estimate that this total should be closer 131, thus giving us value on this line. Marist has gone over in 3 straight games, and have upped their pace from earlier in the season. Today vs a methodical St.Peters team Im betting they continue to speed things up, which will force their opponent into a opening up a bit themselves. This Im betting results in a combined score that eclipses this beatable total. MARIST is 12-3 OVER after playing a home game over the last 2 seasons. CBB teams where the total is between 120 and 129.5 points (MARIST) - off a home loss, a marginal losing team (40% to 49%) playing a struggling team (20-40%) are 30-4 OVER L/5 seasons for a 88% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 135.4 ppg scored.

01-12-19 | Bulls v. Jazz UNDER 207.5 | 102-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
The Bulls are exhausted as they play their 3rd road game in 4 days, and must now deal with the thin air and altitude in Salt Lake City . The Bulls have had to deal with some explosive offensive teams of late, and have gotten out of a defence first system that has been implemented since Hoiberg was fired, and today on tired legs will have to revert back to being more conservative, which I'm betting results in a fairly low scoring affair. Note: Road teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 (CHICAGO) - after 4 or more consecutive overs against opponent after 1 or more consecutive unders are 39-13 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

01-11-19 | Cavs v. Rockets OVER 216 | 113-141 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
The Houston Rockets had a huge 10 game winning streak snapped last time out vs the Milwaukee Bucks, but are still in top tier form, and hitting on all cylinders behind their star James Harden who is averaging 39.5 points per game, during a current 15-game span. Tonight I expect the Rockets to come out looking to bounce back and merciless fashion , and get revenge for a loss in their previous meeting with Cleveland by a 117-108 on Nov. 24. There will be no mercy rule implemented by the Rockets vs a Cavs team that ranks dead last in the league in efficiency, allowing 116.9 points per 100 possessions. The Cavs will have to muster up some offensive fireworks of their own vs the 26th ranked Defensive efficiency of the Rockets or be blown off the court in a game that I expect will surpass this number with ease. My projections estimate that the Rockets will score north of 116 here this evening, which is a very good omen for our chances, as the Rockets are 18-0 OVER when they score 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 239.1 ppg scored. Over is 4-0-1 in Cavaliers last 5 overall.Over is 8-2 in Rockets last 10 vs. Eastern Conference.The Cavaliers are 15-4 OVER on the road with rest off a loss in a road game facing an opponent taking more than 30 percent of their shots from beyond the arc with a combined average of 226.4 ppg scored.The Rockets are 26-6 OVER as a favorite with less than two days rest after a loss in which they led by double digits with a combined average of 222 ppg going on the board.

Detroit enters this game playing horrendous defence, allowing an average of 113 ppg in their L/7 trips to the hardwood. Tonight against a run and gun opponent in Sacramento Im betting their going to get torched again, and will have no choice but to offer up some offensive fireworks of their own or be blown off the court. This Im betting leads to a high scoring affair that eclipses this number. Note: The Kings have allowed an average of 116 ppg against this season ranking them 28th in the league, and scored an average of 115 ppg ranking 5th in the league with 13 of their 21 home games going over the set total. The Kings are also 2nd in pace in the league. The Pistons are 16-0-2 OVER L18 as a dog off a game as a dog facing an opponent making less than 16 free throws per game. The Kings are 19-4 OU L/23 facing an opponent averaging more than 45 rebounds per game and it is before the All-Star break with a combined average of 237.7 ppg scored. NBA Road teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (DETROIT) - after allowing 100 points or more 2 straight games against opponent after leading their last 2 games by 10+ points at the half 31-8 OVER L/22 seasons for a 80% conversion rate with a combined average of 236.5 ppg going on the scoreboard.

01-10-19 | Celtics v. Heat UNDER 212 | 99-115 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
The Celtics exploded for 135 points last night in a win vs the Indiana Pacers, and no I expect a reversion to the norm from a scoring output perspective , as they will be on tired legs after running gunning last night. I expect the Celtics to revert back to their usual conservative transitory system which has resulted in the 3rd best points per game defence in the league .Im also betting they stand tall, behind a fairly methodical 19th ranked pace. Meanwhile, Miami a defence first team with aggressive physical traits, owns the 6th best defensive points per game ranking behind a 22nd ranked pace and 25th ranked offense and should easily help contribute to a methodical clock burning snooze fest. MIAMI is 13-4 UNDER when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 70%) over the last 2 seasons has seen a combine average of 203.9 ppg scored. The Heat are 0-11 UNDER L/11 at home when the line is within 3 of pick with rest after they had fewer than 10 turnovers with a combined average of 178.2 ppg scored with no game exceeding 195 points. The Celtics are 0-13 UNDER as a road favorite off a 10+ win in a home game facing an opponent averaging less than 58 ppg from 2-point range with the combined average score clicking in at 185.4 ppg with no game exceeding 203 points.

My own projections estimate that these teams will combined for 146+ points here tonight thus giving value on this totals line. It must be noted Nevada got steamrolled by New Mexico 85-58 last time out, and will be very ready here to get back some lost respect and with that I expect they will mercilessly come at San Jose State and just keep pouring the points down, which will result in a much faster paced higher scoring game than the lines makers expect. CBB Home teams where the total is between 140 and 149.5 points (NEVADA) - after a blowout loss by 20 points or more against opponent after scoring 60 points or less 2 straight games are 24-4 OVER with a combined average of 154.3 ppg scored.

Brooklyn a team that ranks in the bottom half of the league in ppg scored and pace at 22nd, enters this game on tired legs and will be in no shape to run and gun here tonight even though they go against a Atlanta team with the fastest pace and worst ppg allowed in the league. Note: BROOKLYN in 12 games when playing their 3rd game in 4 days this season have seen a combined average of 217.4 ppg scored. Because of the Nets fatigue factor Im betting this total is a on the high side and we have value with an under wager here. The Hawks are 0-17 UNDER L/17 as a road 8+ dog with no rest after they had less than 15% of their points from free throws with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 185.9 ppg with the highest scoring game seeing 217 points go on the board.

These teams are both trending upward on a points per game chart that I am currently using. Everything points to this being a higher scoring affairs than the lines makers are anticipating. Yes, they are lower paced teams, but their offensive efficiency and point conversion rates are above normal. Im projecting Brooklyn scores 105 + points while Bostons score 114 + points. BROOKLYN is 19-3 OVER where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 237.5 ppg scored.

Denver despite of slightly below average points output owns the 7th ranked offensive effecincy in the league, despite of being a slow paced squad and are capable of lighting opponents up in a hurry with shabby defences like the Hornets as is evident by a 112.3 ppg offensive output at home. Meanwhile, the Hornets, are ranked in the bottom 15 teams in the NBA in defence, and allowing 115.1 ppg on the road this season, but ranked 9th overall in offensive output and 10th in efficiency and have scored 125 or more points in 3 of their L/5 games, and are 113.1 ppg on the road this season. My projections estimate that Charlotte will put at least 106 points on the board, while Denver will score 114 points. Note: DENVER is 14-2 OVER where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 231.3 ppg scored.CHARLOTTE is 15-4 OVER when they allow 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 233.6 ppg scored.

Cleveland enters this game ranked 28thin in scoring in the NBA behind a slow down system that ranks 29th in pace having scored 94 points or less in 6 of their L/8 games overall and Im betting will have problems breaching that plateau again vs a physical Jazz defence that is ranked 7th in ppg allowed and 5th in defensive efficiency. Meanwhile, on the flip side, Utah has averaged only 105 ppg on the road this season and rank 21st in the league in points ouptut in the league, and 22nd in offensive efficiency behind a average pace ranked 14th overall. Also previous to going over in their L/2 trips to the hardwood they had gone under 8 straight times in grinding fashion. Note: The Jazz are 0-18 UNDER L/18 as a favorite off a road game when the line is at least 10 points lower than their last game and it is before the All-Star break with no combined score clicking in above 201 ppg, with the average combined score registering at 185.1 ppg. Bottom line : The Jazz will happily grind away on a Cavs team with very little fire power, in a game that I expect will see the combined score stay on the low side of the total. The Cavaliers are 0-13 UNDER as a dog with less than two days rest after a game as a home dog in which rebounding less than 20% of their own misses with the average combined score coming in at 198.4 ppg. The Cavaliers are 0-8 OU L/8 as a 8+ dog off a 10+ loss when they are off two games in which more than 65 percent of their field goals were assisted and it is before the All-Star break with a combined average of 201.1 ppg scored with non of the tilts exceeding this posted total. NBA Home teams where the total is 200 to 209.5 (CLEVELAND) - a offense that scores (+102 PPG) against a sub par defensive team (102 or more PPG), after allowing 100 points or more 3 straight games are 90-46 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 66% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

Minnesota is on a 8 game OVER streak, and Boston has gone over 6 straight times and the linesmakers know this, so they have bumped this number up , and have not based this Total on the current matchup but on the streak itself, which according to my projections gives us value with an under wager on this offered total. Teams that have gone over in at eight or more straight games are 75-91-1 UNDER since the 2013/14 season.

Blazers road games have seen a combined average of 222.1 ppg scored, but have recently played much better defensively which has resulted in 4 straight unders overall. None of the 4 most recent meetings in this series dating back to last season have seen more than 218 combined points scored and Im betting on this this one staying under the total as well. The Trailblazers have gone under 12 straight times as a road favorite with rest after a game in which they shot 50% or better from beyond the arc with the average combined score clicking in at 185.5 ppg with non of the 12 games seeing more than 210 ppg.

The Wizards enter this game on tired legs as they play their 3rd game in 4 nights , which Im betting translates into them playing at a slightly less elevated tempo , which will effect the total projected score to be much lower than the linesmakers expect. With the Wizards John Wall still out the flow of the home side will also being effected, as has been the case of late as the Wizards have been unable to produce more than 95 points 3 straight games. I know the Hornets will come at the wounded Wizards hard, but the visitors have not been very good on the road this season going just 4-10 overall away from home, and have proven they are less than capable of controlling pace in most of their games on the road. The Wizards are 0-16 UNDER off a home game when they are off two games in which they held their opponent to 10+ less than they usually allow and it is before the All-Star break with no combined score exceeding 219 point plateau with the average combined score clicking in at 192.6 ppg.

Both visiting Denver Nuggets and their hosts the San Antonio Spurs return from a five-day Christmas break for a contest at the AT&T Center in San Antonio. Both are slower paced teams but both are obviously on fresh legs and Im betting they will be energized and ready run and gun here tonight just like of it were the beginning of the season.

The Lakers held the Grizzlies to 88 in a 23-point win Dec. 8 in Memphis. Im betting the Lakers keep a Memphis team that has failed to score more than 99 points in 8 straight and 10 of their L/11 to under the century mark again . Meanwhile, the Grizzlies behind the 30th ranked pace, and the 2nd best ppg allowed average to fight back in a methodical way, in effort to end a current cycle of 5 straight losses.

Dallas lost a hard fought 120-116 tilt at Golden State Saturday night. That was the Mavericks 5th straight loss and their 4th straight game going over the total, with a combined average of 239.8 ppg scored . Now in desperation mode, and still reved up after that fairly fast paced affair, Im betting this well conditioned group behind Slovenia rookie Doncic come out running and gunning. Meanwhile, Portland enters the Mavericks game coming off its most one-sided home loss in 14 years, a 120-90 beatdown at the hands of Utah Jazz on Friday and now rank 18th in defensive efficiency. The threes were raining down on the Blazers, and Im betting in their current form , nothing will change defensively. I do however, expect a much better bounce back offensive effort and a spirited affair that goes over the set total. DALLAS is 21-8 OVER in road games versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game with a combined average of 219.4 ppg scored.DALLAS is 11-2 OVER versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game this season with a combined average of 225.7 ppg.

The Bucks are off exerting alot of effort in last nights start to finish win vs Boston. They were a team on a mission from the outset as they wanted badly to break the 6 game losing streak in Boston and get some revenge for last years play off series loss. Now in a bit of emotional letdown state Im betting they wont have the same energy as last night as they are now also on tired legs. What Im betting on here is for Miami in their usual physical fashion to control the pace of this game on their own home court , as they will have no choice but to be diligent defensively against one of the leagues most explosive teams. Miami owns the 24th ranked offense in the league and the 9th best D, and they run at a 99 pace which ranks in the bottom 3rd of the league at 20. MIAMI is 11-0 UNDER off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as an underdog over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 198.9 ppg scored. Those two wins were also defensive gems not allowing Houston or New Orleans to breach the 99 point plateau.

Now against a Washington side, that they are not built to run in gun with ranking 26th in the league in offence Im betting they will continue their diligent play and try to slow this game down behind their 17th ranked overall pace. Note: PHOENIX is 15-4 UNDER L/19 versus good passing teams, averaging 23 or more assists/game this season with a combined average of 212.4 ppg scored.

ORANGE BOWL CLASSIC - BB&T Center - Sunrise, FL St.Louis is a intricate slow down team that prioritizes playing top tier defence and now going head going head to head with a deadly accurate Florida State offence Im betting they slow down things even more this Saturday afternoon in a tilt that looks promising to be a low scoring affair.

Purdue enters Thursday's contest with the Bobcats with a 6-5 record and will be looking to snap a two-game losing streak, that surrounds around playing uncharacteristically soft defensive basketball . Painters team Im betting in an effort to get back in a winning mind set will be very physical and defensive minded here vs over matched Ohio as they prepare to go on break before taking on Big 10 conference play. Ohio is 7-3 after defeating Detroit Mercy 63-61 and Radford in its last two games which were defensive and physical in nature, and nothing will change here as they look to stop the flow of a superior Power 5 team. PURDUE is 12-3 UNDER versus good rebounding teams - outrebounding opponents by 4+ per game over the last 2 season with a combined average of 139.2 ppg scored.

12-19-18 | Warriors v. Jazz OVER 218 | 103-108 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
Golden State enters this game doing what they do best and that is put points up on the board in bunches, as is evident by their 3rd overall ppg output of 115.9 ppg and 1st overall offensive efficiency. You have to be able to score to compete with the Warriors, and they will actually force their opponent to playing a more wide open style of basketball under most circumstances. With that said, Im betting the defensive minded Jazz will be forced to ratchet up the pace here tonight and convert more consistently vs the Warriors 15th ranked D, as was the case when they lost to the Warriors in a hard fought 124-123 effort back on Oct 19 of this season here in Utah. Im bettong on a similar type average combined offensive output in tonight Salt Lake City rematch. Note: My projections estimate both sides will score 109 or more points in this tilt. UTAH is 12-0 OVER where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 238.3 ppg scored.

Memphis has not breached the 99 point plateau in 5 straight games and 7 of their L/8 overall and are ranked 28th in the league in offensive output averaging 102.5 ppg behind the 30th ranked pace. The Grizzlies saving grace is their defence that is ranked 2nd in points per game allowed ( 102.1 ppg). Needless to say the Grizzlies are methodical in their approach to their games, and will be even more so, here this evening vs a explosive Golden State Warriors team, that when pushed can out run and gun anybody in this league, but to this point in the season, have preferred a more systematic approach and rank just 11th in pace. Tonight Im betting the Grizzlies do everything in their power to make this a ugly grinding affair, and for this to result in a a lack of flow which results in a total score that remains on the low side of the offered Total.

The Clippers have struggled to score consistently of late and have scored 99 points or less in 4 of their L/5 games. Im betting their offensive woes will continue tonight vs a Thunder team that ranks 5th in defensive efficiency.

Tonight Im betting they fiercely come right at the Golden State Warriors and the Dubs will have no problems coming right back at a home team ranked 27th in points allowed with some explosive offensive fireworks of their own.

Meanwhile, Cleveland their opponents tonight rank 30th in the league in defensive efficiency (115.8 ppg) and are susceptible to being lit up like a Christmas tree vs a explosive offensive team like the Bucks. With that said, I expect the Milwaukee to do what they do best and that is run and gun, and for the Cavaliers to do what they do best, and that is chase the scoreboard from a negative output perspective. This Im betting results in a higher scoring game than the lines-makers expect.

The Spurs are currently up trending and have won 3 straight, and are showing increased defensive efforts and efficiency especially In their L/2 games, holding the Suns to 86 points the Jazz to 97 points. Im betting they will continue to play a tougher brand of defense first basketball here tonight against a Clippers team that despite of playing good hoops this season, have scored 99 points or less in 3 of their L/4 outings. Considering both sides current form I expect a lower scoring game than the lines makers are estimating.

Slow starts on offence have been common of late as Utah in back-to-back losses to San Antonio and Oklahoma City averaged just 41.0 first-half points in the two games. Im betting the Jazz who ranked 24th on offence ( 107.2 ppg) have problems consistently putting points on the board tonight again vs a Miami side that currently playing some of their best defence of the season allowing 101.6 ppg in their L/6 overall while holding 3 of those opponents to 100 points or less. ( 5 of those 6 games failed to eclipse the total) The Heat rank 9th in the league defensive efficiency, and own the leagues 22nd ranked offence. These team played a tight 102-100 game earlier this season, and another similar style physical game looks to be tonights agenda.

We have a high total here but it's completely justified. The last time these teams played the Thunder won 122-116 at home on Nov.5th this season, and according to the way both teams systems and players matchup another high scoring affair will be on tonights bayou agenda.This tilt for the Pelicans against Oklahoma City will be New Orleans' eighth game in 15 days. The Pelicans have not had more than one day between games since Nov. 8- and are now on tied legs and will be in no way ready to play D, and with that said, I am betting the tThunder will light them up offensively, but thanks to a group of talented shooters averaging 49% FG at home , the the Birds will keep up in what will be a high scoring game according to my projections. Note: New Orleans home games have seen a combined average of 237.4 ppg scored. . Note: NEW ORLEANS I in 20 games where both teams score 105 or more points in a game this season have seen a combined average 241 ppg go on the board. My estimates are higher than the +105 point plateau that this trend uses, giving us alot of value with a over wager here as associated with those outputs. Play OVER |

Both these teams style of play and versatility seems to change from game to game depending on their competition. Denver has held 5 teams to under 70 points in 10 games, while Wyoming has held 2 of their last 4 opponents to 66 points or less, Im betting on both teams defences standing tall here today, as my cross reference power rankings and system vs system analysis suggests a total combined score output of around 144.5 , thus according to those projections we have value with an under wager in this spot. DENVER is 60-31 UNDER versus poor passing teams, averaging 12 or less assists/game are with a combined average of 138.4 ppg scored.DENVER is 13-4 UNDER off a home blowout win by 20 points or more with a. combined average of 133.8 ppg scored.

HC Popovich of the Spurs , has been trying to make sure there has been a balance in the way his team is playing at both ends of the court. He has wanted to see an uptempo attack and concerted defensive effort in transition. Its been a work in progress, but last time out against Utah the Spurs finally played a complete game , winning as underdogs and holding their opponent to just 97 points. That was the Spurs second straight win as pups. With that success, and confidence on their sides, I once again expect for a strong defensive effort here vs a Suns team that has been held under 99 points in 6 of their L/7 overall, thanks in part to top scorer Devon Booker being out. With that said, Im betting the combined score here does not eclipse this number. SAN ANTONIO is 14-2 UNDER off 2 or more consecutive upset wins as an underdog with a combined average of 178.6 ppg scored.

12-08-18 | Nets v. Knicks UNDER 220.5 | 112-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
The Nets pulled out a 106-105 overtime win over the Eastern Conference-leading Toronto Raptors on Friday night, and will now be on tired legs, and be less than ready to run and gun vs the NY Knicks here tonight. Meanwhile, the Knicks off shooting 39.6 percent shooting from the field in the loss, are a team that is struggling mightily to be consistent offensively. What was horrendous was the Knicks allowed the Celtics to shoot better than 53% in that loss, and now HC Fizdale will demanding his squad play better D, and to be more methodical with their approach. The above combinations Im betting will see this total combined score stay on the low side of the total. NEW YORK is 18-8 UNDER when playing against a below .500 team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) over the last 2 seasons with the combined average score of 206.3 ppg scored.BROOKLYN is 28-14 UNDER when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 212.6 ppg going on the board.

12-08-18 | Kings v. Pacers UNDER 222.5 | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Indiana is a big strong athletic team that bases their successes and failures on their ability to play top tier D, and are allowing just 97.5 ppg at home this season. On the season they are ranked first in ppg allowed and 2nd in defensive rating. I know the the Kings run and in gun in with reckless abandon, but Indiana has the ability to dictate the pace here especially at home. The Pacers are ranked 26th in pace in the NBA and are methodical in their approach and nothing changes here today. INDIANA is 9-0 UNDER when the total is 220 to 229.5 over the last 2 seasons. INDIANA is 15-5 UNDER in home games when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%) over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 202.5 pig scored.INDIANA is 12-4 UNDER versus struggling defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game this season with a combined average of 204.7 ppg scored.INDIANA is 22-8 UNDER L/30 in home games versus up-tempo teams averaging 88 or more shots/game with a combined average of 200.7 ppg scored.

You have to be able to put points up on the board to beat Oklahoma State, no matter how good a defence you might think you have. Yes, Houston can play lock down D, but they can also run and gun when prompted which is what Im betting they will be forced into here today. CBB Home teams where the total is between 130 and 139.5 points (HOUSTON/OKLAHOMA ST) - after going over the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games, with a winning percentage of between 45-55% on the season are 85-42 OVER L/21 seasons for a 66%conversion rate for bettors.

12-07-18 | Warriors v. Bucks UNDER 240 | 105-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Both these teams can light the scoreboard up, but when quality teams like this get together, a more physical brand of basketball is not unusual. GOLDEN STATE is 29-11 UNDER L/40 in a road game where the total is greater than or equal to 230 with a combined average score of 224.6 ppg scored. Also HC Kerr is 20-8 UNDER revenging a straight up loss vs opponent as a home favorite as the coach of GOLDEN STATE with a combined average of 211.4 ppg scored. Golden State allowed Milwaukkee to smash them 134-111 at home in their last meeting an now Im betting on them playing down lock down defence and responsible transitional basketball. NBA teams where the total is greater than or equal to 220 (MILWAUKEE) - after a win by 10 points or more against opponent after 2 straight wins by 10 points or more 38-8 UNDER L/22 seasons for a 83% conversion rate for bettors.

San Antonio are on tired legs as they prepare to play their 6th game in 10 days and enter this game ranked 29th in the league in defensive efficiency and 11th in offensive efficiency. Meanwhile, the Lakers rank 9th in ppg in the league, averaging 113.1 ppg and 17th in ppg allowed at 111.1 ppg. When considering both sides current form, and system vs system analysis and player matchup trends, my projections estimate a high scoring affair that eclipses this total. Note: SAN ANTONIO is 8-1 OVER when playing 6 or more games in 10 days this season with a combined average of 233.8 ppg scored. These teams combined to put 235 ppg on the board in LA 2 days ato in their last meeting, which was a back and forth affair, and Im betting on more of the same action here tonight deep in the heart of Texas. Over is 6-0-1 in Spurs last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.Over is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.Over is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 Friday games.Over is 5-0-1 in Spurs last 6 games following a straight up loss.Over is 8-0 in Spurs last 8 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.Over is 7-0 in Spurs last 7 vs. Western Conference.Over is 6-0-1 in Spurs last 7 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.Over is 10-1-1 in Spurs last 12 overall.Over is 9-1-1 in Spurs last 11 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.Over is 4-1 in Spurs last 5 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Over is 18-7-1 in Spurs last 26 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Boston has been really lighting up the scoreboard of late, scoring 124,128, 118 in their L/3 trips to the floor. Tonight I expect they will continue to roll against a less than consistent NYK defence, that ranks 27th in D efficiency and 26th in points allowed ( 114.4 ppg). What Im betting is that for the Knicks to have no choice but the chase the Celtics and try to post some explosive offensive fire works of their own or be blown off the court in what Im betting will be a fairly high scoring affair the eclipses this Total. My projections estimate that Boston will score within 115 to 121 points. Note: NEW YORK is 10-2 OVER when they allow 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 233.8 ppg scored.BOSTON is 8-1 OVER when they score 112 or more points in a game this season with a combined average of 228 ppg scored.

12-05-18 | Tennessee-Martin v. Tulane UNDER 151 | 74-87 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
My own numbers make this total closer to the 144 mark, thus giving us value with a under wager. Tenn Martin has had a couple of big offensive outputs, so far this season, but Tulan has held 3 of their last 4 opponents under 68 points, and are well suited in this matchup for repeat performance which aid this total score staying under the Total. TENN-MARTIN is 8-1 UNDER versus teams who average 6 or less steals/game on the season over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 128.6 ppg scored. Play UNDER |

Washington is on a two game win streak thanks to paying better attention to defence, and being much more careful in transition.WASHINGTON is 17-7 UNDER after 2 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 211.7 ppg scored. Meanwhile, Atlanta continues to struggle to score consistently, with the 30th ranked offensive efficiency despite of procuring the No 1 pace in the league . Im betting despite of Hawks trying to run and gun , their efficiency , thanks to missing one of their key offensive players Prince will see their flow thwarted as well as their total output. Meanwhile, the Wizards will remain steadfast in their wish to play a better controlled brand of basketball. What Im betting on here is a lower scoring game than the hefty number might indicate. WASHINGTON is 9-0 UNDER vs. struggling rebounding teams - outrebounded by opponents by 5+/game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 202.7 ppg scored.WASHINGTON is 11-2 UNDER in road games versus terrible defensive teams - allowing 110+ points/game over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 216.6 ppg scored.

12-05-18 | Monmouth v. Hofstra OVER 142 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Hofstra has averaged 86.2 ppg game at home this season where they play an uptempo attack type of hoops. Im betting on them reaching their average again vs a poor Monmouth D, that has allowed 77 plus points per game on the road. I know Monmouth is not a very efficient scoring team, but in a wide open type affair where they should constantly b chasing the score , they should have a 60 to 65 point output which will help breach this total to the upside if my projections are correct. HOFSTRA is 11-1 OVER in all home games over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 161.8 ppg scored. CBB Road teams against the total (MONMOUTH) - poor shooting team - shooting 42% or worse on the season, after 2 straight games making 20% of their 3 point shots or worse are 29-10 OVER L/5 seasons for a 75% conversion rate for bettors.

My own projections make this game closer to 144.5 , which according to my estimates makes this a very good value pay to the under. I know Evansville can score in bunches, but Arkansas State will be prepared to play a slower more methodical game against them here at home where they allowed 54 points in their lone home game, which I'm betting results in a lower scoring tilt here today. ARKANSAS ST is 17-6 L/23 UNDER in home games versus good offensive teams - scoring 77+ points/game with a combined average score of 147.9 ppg scored.EVANSVILLE is 9-1 UNDER after a game giving up 5 or less offensive rebounds over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 123.6 ppg scored.

Bulls take the court against the Pacers, with associate head coach Jim Boylen taking over as head coach after Hoiberg was tied yesterday. QUOTE "You might see a bit different style of the offensive end as we get going," Boylen told reporters at his introductory press conference Monday. "You got to put your hand print on it and make it yours. But you have to realize there's a level of shock that the players have to deal with." END QUOTE The shock that Boylen is speaking about Im betting will see the Bulls play a more methodical game plan, that will help keep this game slower paced then their used to and will result in a lower scoring game than the linesmakers expect. With Indiana on 3 days rest after a west coast road trip I expect they will be fresh enough to play some strong D, something the coaching staff have been emphasizing of late. Chicago has gone under in 10 of their L/13 games. Indiana has gone under in 3 straight. CHICAGO is 10-1 UNDER as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season with a combined average of 207.9 ppg scored.INDIANA is 10-1 UNDER in home games vs. division opponents over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 199.5 ppg going on the board.INDIANA is 20-5 UNDER after playing 2 consecutive road games over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 204.2 ppg scored.

Im betting they force the Mavericks into a fast paced game via their 9th ranked pace. It must also be noted that the Clippers defence ranks 22nd in the NBA allowing 112+ ppg and Dallas behind an offence that averages more than 115 ppg at home should be successful converting against their soft defence regularly tonight.

Connecticut has been running of gunning of late, vs lower tier teams, but still bases its success on their ability to play top tier defence. Here today against much better opposition in Arizona Im expecting a more pronounced defensive effort. Meanwhile, Arizona is now a defence first team, and have allowed only one team to score more than 73 points against them( Gonzaga) and have held 4 of their 7 opponents to not exceed the 66 points plateau. With that said, today Im betting on a combined score that stays on the low side of the total. CONNECTICUT is 8-1 UNDER in home games versus very good teams - outscoring their opponents by 8+ points/game over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 121.5 ppg going on the board.CONNECTICUT is 26-13 UNDER in home games vs. good free throw shooting teams - making 72% or more of their attempts with a combined average of 142 ppg going on the scoreboard.

This is now a much better defensive team, and tonight against another top tier defensive team, the Boston Celtics ranked 2nd overall in defensive efficiency (104) in the league and 4th in ppg allowed 103.9 Im expecting a combined score that remains on the low side of the Total .
