7* 76ers/Hawks Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Atlanta +3

The Key: The price is right to back the Atlanta Hawks as 3-point home dogs tonight.  They were just 1.5-point home dogs in Game 3 so there has been an adjustment here.  The 76ers shot 58.2% from the floor and 47.6% from 3 in Game 3 and that is unlikely to happen again.  It's also unlikely the Hawks shoot as poorly as they did in Game 3 as they made only 6 3-pointers at a 26.1% clip.  Remember, they cashed 20 3's in Game 1.  Philadelphia is 3-11 ATS off 2 consecutive covers as a favorite this year.  The 76ers are 13-27-2 ATS in their last 42 road games against a team with a winning home record.  The Hawks are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 home games.  The Hawks are 50-23 ATS in their last 73 games off a double-digit home loss.  Take Atlanta.

7* Nets/Bucks Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee +2.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Milwaukee Bucks as home underdogs in Game 4 after they were just 3.5-point favorites in Game 3 at home. They won by 3 and now this is a 6-point adjustment. The Bucks still haven't shot the ball to their capability in this series and it's coming sooner rather than later. Take Milwaukee.

7* Jazz/Clippers Game 3 *HEAVY HITTER* on Los Angeles -4.5

The Key: The Clippers are in a must-win situation at home after losing the first 2 games in this series in Salt Laker City by a combined 9 points. Now they are back home and should give a big effort and cover this short number tonight. Take Los Angeles.

7* 76ers/Hawks Game 3 *HEAVY HITTER* on Philadelphia -1

The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers are the better team in this series and have the best player in Joel Embiid. He is clearly healthy now after backing up his 39-point effort in Game 1 with a 40-point effort in Game 2. The Hawks have no answer for him, and the players around him are pretty damn good this season. The Hawks shot the lights out in Game 1 but came back down to reality in Game 2. It should be more of the same here in Game 3 as the 76ers take control of this series with a victory. Take Philadelphia.

7* Clippers/Jazz Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Los Angeles +3.5

The Key: The Clippers are now 3-1 SU & 4-0 ATS on the road in these playoffs.  They beat the Mavericks by 10, 25 and 7 points before losing by just 3 to the Jazz in Game 1.  They will come back hungry in Game 2 and should get the outright victory, but we'll take the 3.5 points for some insurance.  The Clippers are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 road games off a loss by 6 points or less.  Los Angeles is 32-16 ATS in its last 48 games off a road loss.  The Clippers are 40-24 ATS in their last 64 games when avenging a same-season loss.  Take Los Angeles.

6* Nets/Bucks Game 3 *CA$H COW* on Milwaukee -3.5

The Key: The Bucks have made just 14 3-pointers in this series while the Nets have made 36 3-pointers.  That has been the difference.  The roles will be reversed here in Milwaukee as the Bucks come out hungry for a win in Game 3 to save their season.  Their role players should be much better at home with their fans having their back.  We'll get a big effort from the Bucks tonight.  Take Milwaukee.

6* Nuggets/Suns Game 2 *CA$H COW* on Phoenix -5.5

The Key: The Phoenix Suns are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall with wins by 8, 30 and 13 points over the Lakers and a 17-point win over the Nuggets.  They are playing so well right now and with a ton of confidence.  I think the Nuggets being without Jamaal Murray really hurts them in this series against the Suns, who play elite defense unlike the Blazers last series.  They need him to break down their defense and don't have somebody that can now.  They managed just 105 points in Game 1 and will struggle to score all series.  Take Phoenix.

6* Clippers/Jazz Game 1 *BAILOUT* on Los Angeles +4

The Key: The Los Angeles Clippers are in a great rhythm right now.  They have won 4 of their last 5 games after falling behind 0-2 in their series with the Mavericks.  The 4 wins came by 10, 25, 7 and 15 points.  I like backing the team in a rhythm in Game 1 of a new series over the team that could be rusty like the Jazz who have had nearly a week off since their last game against Memphis.  Plus I think the Clippers are just the better team in this series, so getting 4 points in Game 1 is a nice price.  Take Los Angeles.

7* Bucks/Nets Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee +1.5

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks are 12-3 in their last 15 games overall.  They are 5-0 SU in their last 5 games following a loss.  They haven't lost 2 games in a row since April 17-19.  They will bounce back following a bad loss in Game 1 in which James Harden went out early, but they only connected on 6 of 30 3-pointers for a 20% clip.  Harden remains out for Game 2 and I fully expect the Bucks to take advantage and tie this series.  Take Milwaukee.

7* Mavs/Clippers Game 7 *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 210

The Key: Game 7's always tend to be lower scoring because there is so much at stake and by that point both teams are very familiar with one another, which favors defense.  The UNDER is 3-0 in the last 3 matchups in this series with combined scores of 187, 205 and 201 points.  Take the UNDER.

7* Bucks/Nets Game 1 *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee +4

The Key: The Bucks just outscored the Heat by 82 points in 4 games in their sweep last series.  The Heat are a much better team than the Boston Celtics, who the Nets just beat in 5 games.  The Bucks have owned the Nets over the years and won 2 of 3 matchups this year with their lone loss coming by just 2 points.  The Bucks are 29-11-1 ATS in the last 41 matchups and 16-4-1 ATS in the last 21 matchups in Brooklyn.  Take Milwaukee.

7* Clippers/Mavs Game 6 *HEAVY HITTER* on Los Angeles -2.5

The Key: I like the Clippers to continue the trend of the road team in this series.  The road team has won and covered all 5 games between the Clippers and Mavericks.  Los Angeles is now 8-2 ATS in its last 10 trips to Dallas.  Luka Doncic had a huge Game 5 and has had much bigger games on the road than at home.  The Clippers have won their 2 road matchups with the Mavericks by a combined 35 points in this series.  Take Los Angeles.

7* NBA 1st Round Total of the Year on Suns/Lakers UNDER 207.5

The Key: This has been a low-scoring series between the Suns and Lakers, who are 2 of the best defensive teams in the NBA.  The Suns and Lakers have combined for 200, 192, 204, 211 and 189 points in their 5 games in this series thus far.  Oddsmakers have set the number too high again here in Game 6 with a 207.5-point total.  The UNDER is 4-0-1 in the last 5 matchups.  The UNDER is 8-0-1 in Suns last 9 Conference Quarterfinals games.  The UNDER is 16-4-2 in Lakers last 22 games against a team that wins more than 60% of their games.  Take the UNDER.

7* Grizzlies/Jazz Game 5 *HEAVY HITTER* on Memphis +9.5

The Key: The Grizzlies are in a win-or-go-home game tonight against the Utah Jazz.  They will give their best effort and it should be good enough to cover this 9.5-point spread.  Take Memphis.

6* Hawks/Knicks Game 5 *CA$H COW* on New York -1.5

The Key: The New York Knicks are in a win-or-go-home game tonight against the Atlanta Hawks.  They have played much better at home in this series and all season.  They are 18-2 ATS in their 20 home games this year when the line was +3 to -3.  Take New York.

7* Blazers/Nuggets Game 5 *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland +2

The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers have now won 12 of their last 16 games overall with 10 wins by double-digits.  They are playing so well right now and should not be the underdogs to the Denver Nuggets in this pivotal Game 5.  The Blazers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.  Take Portland.

7* Jazz/Grizzlies Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Memphis +6

The Key: The Memphis Grizzlies will be hungry for a victory in Game 4 after blowing a late lead to the Utah Jazz in Game 3.  They have shown they can play with the Jazz in this series, even with a healthy Donovan Mitchell.  And the situation favors the Grizzlies tonight as they will be the hungrier team with their season basically on the line here.  Take Memphis.

6* Clippers/Mavericks Game 4 *CA$H COW* on Los Angeles -3

The Key: The road team is 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in this series thus far.  That has been the case dating back to the regular season as well.  The Clippers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 matchups with the Mavericks in Dallas.  We are getting them cheap here in Game 4 as they are the better team and home court hasn't meant much.  They picked up a huge Game 3 win despite trailing by 19 points at one point, coming back to win by 10 points.  Luke Doncic has a back/shoulder injury now to deal with suffered in Game 3.  Take Los Angeles.

7* Suns/Lakers Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Phoenix +6.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Phoenix Suns in Game 4 tonight.  The Suns are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games off a loss.  Phoenix is 22-8 ATS in its last 30 games off an ATS loss.  The Lakers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games off a win.  Los Angeles is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games off a win by more than 10 points.  Take Phoenix.

6* 76ers/Wizards Game 3 *CA$H COW* on Washington +6.5

The Key: The Washington Wizards will be hungry for a win in Game 3 to avoid falling down 3-0.  I like their chances at home here considering they have won 10 of their last 11 home games with their lone defeat coming by 3 points.  So they are 11-0 ATS against a line of +3.5 or higher in their last 11 home games.  Take Washington.

7* Nuggets/Blazers Game 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland -4.5

The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers will be hungry for a win at home in Game 4 to even this series.  The Nuggets made 20 3-pointers and shot them at better than 50% in Game 3 and that's unlikely to happen again.  The Blazers should get better performances from everyone outside Damian Lillard, who is playing as well as anyone in the playoffs.  Take Portland.

7* NBA 1st Round Game of the Year on Los Angeles Clippers -2.5

The Key: The Clippers are in a must-win here in Game 3.  They will be the hungrier team after getting upset in each of the first 2 games of this series at home.  But the Mavericks couldn't have shot better in both games and that is unlikely to happen again given how good of a defensive team the Clippers are.  The Clippers have also had great success on the road in this series going 6-2 ATS in the last 8 matchups in Dallas.  Now we get them as only 2.5-point favorites in Game 3 after being 7-point favorites in Game 2.  Take Dallas.

6* Nuggets/Blazers Game 3 *BAILOUT* on Portland -3.5

The Key: The Blazers are 11-3 SU & 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games.  They will bounce back from a poor performance in Game 2 as their role players have much better games at home in Game 3.  The Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 matchups with the Blazers.  Look for Portland to shoot much better from the field and to play much better defense in Game 3 tonight as they regain home-court advantage.  Take Portland.

7* Bucks/Heat Game 3 *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami +2

The Key: It's do or die for the Miami Heat in Game 3 tonight after dropping the first 2 games of this series in Milwaukee.  The Heat will have one of the best home-court advantages in these playoffs as they will have over 17,000 fans in attendance with the light restrictions in Miami.  It will pay off as they play a great game here similar to Game 1.  Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and company won't go away quietly.  The Heat are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home matchups with the Bucks.  Take Miami.

6* Hawks/Knicks Game 2 *CA$H COW* on New York -2

The Key: The New York Knicks had won all 3 regular season matchups with the Hawks before their 105-107 loss in Game 1.  The Knicks are still 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 matchups with the Hawks.  New York is 17-2 ATS at home when the line is from +3 to -3 this season.  Take New York.

7* Wizards/76ers Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington +8.5

The Key: The Washington Wizards have only lost one game by more than 7 points in their last 23 games coming into this Game 2 showdown with the 76ers.  They have faced the 76ers 4 times already this season and only once did they lose by more than 7 points.  This is too many points for the Wizards tonight.  Take Washington.

7* Lakers/Suns Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Los Angeles -1.5

The Key: The Los Angeles Lakers will take Game 2 tonight to even this series with the Phoenix Suns.  They did not play well at all in Game 1, especially Anthony Davis, and they are primed for a bounce back.  The Lakers had won 6 straight prior to that defeat.  They are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games off a loss.  Take Los Angeles.

6* NBA *Total* Annihilator on Celtics/Nets OVER 227

The Key: Both the Nets and Celtics shot terrible in Game 1 and it's unlikely to happen again in Game 2.  The Celtics shot 36.9% while the Nets shot 41.7% including 23.5% from 3-point range.  The Celtics are 15-6 OVER off a road loss this year.  The Nets are 32-20 OVER as a favorite this season.  The OVER is 7-3 in Nets last 10 home games.  Take the OVER.

7* Heat/Bucks Game 2 *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami +4.5

The Key: The Miami Heat are 12-5 SU & 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games overall.  They have been in playoff mode for over a month and are back to playing like they did last season when they made the run to the NBA Finals.  They lost by 2 in OT to the Bucks in Game 1 and will be looking to avenge that defeat tonight.  The Heat are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.  Miami is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 road games.  Milwaukee is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games as a favorite.  The Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 trips to Milwaukee.  Take Miami.

7* Grizzlies/Jazz Game 1 *HEAVY HITTER* on Memphis +9

The Key: The Utah Jazz won't be hitting on all cylinders after having a week off and now trying to get used to playing with both Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley again.  This line is simply too wide.  The Grizzlies are in a rhythm right now and playing with confidence after disposing of the Spurs and Warriors in win-or-go-home situations.  They are now 7-1 SU in their last 8 games and playing as well as they have all season, largely due to being healthy finally.  Take Memphis.

6* Lakers/Suns Game 1 *CA$H COW* on Phoenix -2

The Key: The Phoenix Suns were one of the most underrated teams in the NBA this year.  They went 51-21 SU & 42-28-2 ATS, including 27-9 SU at home and 23-13 ATS.  The Lakers are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as underdogs.  Los Angeles is 4-10-1 ATS in its last 15 games overall.  The Lakers are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games off a win.   The Suns are 29-13 ATS in their last 42 home games.  Phoenix is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 home games against a team with a winning road record.  Take Phoenix.

7* Blazers/Nuggets Game 1 *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland +1

The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 matchups with the Nuggets including their 132-116 win in the regular season finale.  The Blazers are 10-2 SU in their last 12 games overall.  They will beat the Nuggets without Jamal Murray and Will Barton.  Take Portland.

6* Heat/Bucks Game 1 *CA$H COW* on Milwaukee -4.5

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks will be hungry to avenge their playoff loss to the Heat last season.  We saw them take out their frustration on the Heat in 2 blowout wins during the regular season by finals of 144-97 and 122-108.  I think they have made the proper adjustments to be able to beat the Heat in this series, and it starts with Game 1 tonight.  Having Jrue Holiday at PG as an upgrade over Eric Bledsoe makes all the difference.  Take Milwaukee.

7* Grizzlies/Warriors ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Memphis +4.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight as this game should be lined closer to a pick 'em.  The Grizzlies have gotten healthy down the stretch and are playing their best basketball of the season.  They are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games overall.  Now they will be looking to avenge that lone defeat, which came at Golden State in the regular season finale.  The Warriors are missing several of their best players in Oubre Jr., Wiseman and Thompson.  They simply rely too much on Curry.  They suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Lakers and will have a hangover from that defeat, while the Grizzlies come in with a ton of confidence after a close win over the Spurs.  The Grizzlies are 9-1 ATS off 3 or more consecutive unders this season.  The Grizzlies are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs.  Take Memphis.

7* Pacers/Wizards TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on OVER 236.5

The Key: The Pacers and Wizards have played in 3 shootouts this year.  They have combined for 256, 295 and 265 points in their 3 matchups.  So this 236.5-point total has not been set high enough.  Indiana is 7-0 OVER when playing against a team that wins between 40% and 49% of their games this year.  The OVER is 10-3 in Pacers last 13 games overall.  The OVER is 19-7 in Pacers last 26 road games.  The OVER is 11-1 in Wizards last 12 games against a team with a losing record.  The OVER is 4-1-1 in the last 5 matchups.  Take the OVER.

7* Spurs/Grizzlies ESPN *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 223.5

The Key: I'm taking the UNDER in this winner-take-all game between the Spurs and Grizzlies tonight.  Both teams will be locked in defensively with their season on the line.  And I expect the pressure to affect them both offensively as these are 2 teams not used to playoff pressure.  Memphis is 12-1 UNDER in its last 13 home games when playing only its 2nd game in 5 days.  The UNDER is 4-1 in Spurs last 5 games playing on 2 days' rest.  The UNDER is 37-15 in Grizzlies last 52 home games.  The UNDER is 6-1 in Grizzlies last 7 games overall.  Take the UNDER.

7* Hornets/Pacers NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Charlotte +3

The Key: The Charlotte Hornets come into this game catching points with the Pacers due to going 0-5 in their last 5 games overall.  But they were close to winning 4 of those 5 games against great competition with all 4 losses either by 5 points or less or in OT to the Pelicans, Nuggets, Clippers, Knicks and Wizards.  They are battle-tested now and as healthy as they have been for a long time entering the playoffs.  The Pacers are far from healthy.  Lamb, Turner and Warren are out while Sabonis, Brogdon, Holiday and Sumner are all questionable.  The Hornets won 108-105 at home and 114-97 on the road in their final 2 matchups with the Pacers this year.  Indiana is 8-20 ATS in its last 28 games as a home favorite.  The Pacers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 playoff games.  The Hornets are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 road games against a team with a losing home record.  Take Charlotte.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Clippers/Thunder UNDER 221.5

The Key: The Clippers are trying to lose right now and that was evident when they rested everyone and lost to the Rockets on Friday. The Thunder are trying to lose as well and have gone 1-23 in their last 24 games to try and improve their lottery position. That leads me to believe scoring will be down in this season finale. Take the UNDER.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month on Washington Wizards -6

The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are a tired team right now. They will be playing their 10th game in 16 days in the month of May. They are coming off an OT loss to the Knicks last night in which several players played over 30 minutes, including two over 40 minutes. Now they will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day while the Washington Wizards had Saturday off. The Wizards are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 games when playing with one day of rest in between games. Take Washington.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Charlotte Hornets +5.5

The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are still going hard to try and get the 8th seed instead of the 9th or 10th because there is a big advantage to doing so. They are battling it out with the Pacers and Wizards for that 8th spot right now. The Hornets are getting healthy just in time for the playoffs as well as they are only missing Hayward and Martin now. The Knicks don't have a ton to play for right now other than seeding as they are going to be the 4th, 5th or 6th which isn't a huge difference. The Hornets are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games off a loss by more than 10 points. Take Charlotte.

7* NBA Total of the Month on Kings/Grizzlies UNDER 226.5

The Key: The Kings and Grizzlies just played last night with Memphis winning 116-110 for 226 combined points. They are now familiar with each other and tired. They won't combine for more than 226 points in the rematch tonight. Take the UNDER.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Orlando Magic +12.5

The Key: This is a difficult situation for the Atlanta Hawks Thursday.  They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 3rd game in 4 days after yet another last-second win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.  They shouldn't be favored by 12.5 points tonight given the situation.  The Magic have only lost by double-digits once in their last 15 matchups with the Hawks.  Take Orlando.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on New York Knicks -5

The Key: The New York Knicks are 17-3 ATS in their last 20 games overall.  They are coming off an overtime loss to the Lakers on Tuesday and had Wednesday off.  They will bounce back tonight against a tired San Antonio Spurs team that will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a tough 116-128 shootout loss to the Nets last night.  The Spurs will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days and their 8th game in 12 days.  Take New York.

7* Blazers/Jazz ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland +2

The Key: The Portland Trail Blazers are 8-1 in their last 9 games with 7 wins by 10 points or more.  Now they face a Utah Jazz team that will be without 2 of their best players in Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley.  The wrong team is favored in this matchup.  Take Portland.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on New Orleans Pelicans +9

The Key: The Pelicans are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall as they have fought hard to try and make the playoffs down the stretch.  They are still alive and will continue to fight until they are eliminated even with the injuries they have right now.  They pulled the upset in Charlotte and only lost by 2 at Philadelphia and by 5 at Memphis in their last 3 games.  They also beat the Warriors at home the game before.  Now they are catching 9 points against the Mavericks, who will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 5th game in 7 days and their 8th game in 12 days.  Dallas has injury issues of its own right now and could rest some key players tonight.  The Pelicans are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 road games.  Take New Orleans.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Phoenix Suns -5

The Key: The Phoenix Suns have a chance to clinch the Pacific Division title tonight and to move within one game of the Jazz for the top seed in the West.  They have a lot to play for and come in fresh after having yesterday off.  The Warriors will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a huge win over the Utah Jazz last night.  Curry played 37 minutes, Green 37 and Wiggins 35 as they won that game 119-116.  The Warriors won't have much left in the tank for the Suns tonight.  Phoenix is 2-0 SU & 2-0 ATS against Golden State this season with 2 blowout victories by 22 and 21 points.  The Suns are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games off a loss and 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games off an ATS loss.  Take Phoenix.

7* NBA Western Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Dallas Mavericks -1.5

The Key: The Mavericks have a lot to play for right now in terms of playoff positioning and it has shown here the last few weeks.  They are 10-2 SU in their last 12 games overall.  The Grizzlies are a tired team right now as they have not had 2 days off in a row since the All-Star Break.  They just beat the Pelicans by 5 last night and will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  It will be their 5th game in 7 days and their 11th game in 17 days.  The Mavericks have won 3 straight matchups with the Grizzlies by an average of 12 PPG.  Take Dallas.

6* Rockets/Blazers NBA *BAILOUT* on Portland -14.5

The Key: The Blazers are 7-1 in their last 8 games with those 7 wins coming by 19.1 PPG.  The Rockets are 5-42 in their last 47 games overall and have suffered blowout loss after blowout loss this season.  They just don't have enough talent to compete with the Blazers with all of the guys they are missing right now.  Portland is 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games against a team with a losing record.  The Blazers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home matchups with the Rockets.  Take Portland.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Milwaukee Bucks -6.5

The Key: The Bucks have won 5 straight games to get to within 0.5 games of the Brooklyn Nets for 2nd place in the East.  Whoever gets the #2 seed will likely host the other team in the 2nd round, so it's a big deal.  The Bucks are rested now coming in on 2 days' rest.  They should make easy work of the Spurs, who are 1-6 SU in their last 7 games overall and will be playing their 6th game in 9 days.  Milwaukee is 30-11 ATS in its last 41 games as a road favorite of 6.5 to 12 points.  The Spurs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games against a team with a winning road record.  Take Milwaukee.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls -8.5

The Key: The Bulls just got back both Zach LaVine and Nikola Vucevic 2 games ago.  It's no surprise they are coming off 2 of their best games of the season with a 120-99 win in Charlotte followed by a 121-99 home win over the Celtics on the 2nd of a back-to-back.  Now the Bulls are rested having yesterday off and should make easy work of the Detroit Pistons, who will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after losing by 14 to the 76ers yesterday.  It will also be the 5th game in 7 days for the Pistons.  Detroit is missing so many key players right now due to injury as well.  The Bulls are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games against a team with a losing record.  Chicago is 10-1 ATS in its last 11 Sunday games.  The Bulls are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 matchups.  Take Chicago.

7* Spurs/Blazers NBA *BAILOUT* on Portland -6

The Key: The Blazers have won 6 of their last 7 games by an average of 18.7 PPG.  The Spurs have to fly to Portland tonight after beating the Kings in Sacramento last night.  That was their first win in their last 6 games and the Kings were short-handed.  Now they face a fully healthy Blazers team that should blow them out of the building.  The Spurs haven't had consecutive days off since the All-Star Break.  They are as tired as any team in the NBA right now and the Blazers will test those tired legs tonight.  Take Portland.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Oklahoma City Thunder +14.5

The Key: The Thunder only lost by 3 to the Suns and by 4 to the Kings in their 2 games prior to getting beat by 21 by the Warriors on Thursday.  They will be hungry to avenge that defeat and at the very least make it more competitive here on Saturday as they face each other again.  The Thunder are 41-21 ATS in their last 62 road games.  The Warriors are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games off 4 or more consecutive unders.  Golden State is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games off a win.  Take Oklahoma City.

7* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month on Minnesota Timberwolves +6.5

The Key: The Minnesota Timberwolves haven't lost any of their last 8 games by more than 4 points, which makes for an 8-0 angle backing them with this 6.5-point spread tonight.  They are finishing the season strong and will continue to do so against the Miami Heat tonight.  They just upset the Heat 119-111 at home as 7-point dogs on April 16.  They may not have to face Jimmy Butler, who is questionable tonight with the flu.  The Timberwolves are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games off a SU loss.  The Heat are 7-18-2 ATS in their last 27 games off a SU loss.  The Timberwolves are 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take Minnesota.

6* Friday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Timberwolves/Heat OVER 226

The Key: The OVER is 3-0 in Timberwolves last 3 games with combined scores of 240, 276 and 274 points.  The OVER is 7-0 in Heat last 7 games with combined scores of 240, 232, 231 and 227 points in their last 4 contests.  The OVER is 8-1 in the last 9 matchups with combined scores of 225 or more points 6 times, and the OVER is 5-0 in the last 5 matchups with combined scores of 230 and 255 points in the last 2 matchups.  Take the OVER.

6* NBA Western Conference *CA$H COW* on Oklahoma City Thunder +14.5

The Key: The Oklahoma City Thunder were competitive in their last 2 games with a 3-point loss to the Suns and a 4-point loss to the Kings.  They are healthy enough now that they should have no problem staying within 14.5 points of the Golden State Warriors tonight.  The Warriors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites.  The Thunder are 34-17 ATS in their last 51 games as road underdogs.  Take Oklahoma City.

7* Nets/Mavericks TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Dallas +4

The Key: The Brooklyn Nets are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last 4 games overall and should not be road favorites against the Dallas Mavericks.  The Mavericks are 7-2 SU in their last 9 games overall and coming off a 14-point win at Miami.  The Mavericks beat the Nets 115-98 on the road in their first matchup this year.  Brooklyn is 1-8 ATS in road games after scoring 105 points or more in 5 straight games this year.  Take Dallas.

6* NBA Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Washington Wizards +3

The Key: The Wizards are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall.  Washington has won 13 of its last 16 games with 2 losses coming by 3 points or less, making for a 15-1 angle backing the Wizards with this 3-point spread.  The Bucks will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a huge win over the Nets last night.  They will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days and their 8th game in 13 days.  Take Washington.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Indiana Pacers -6

The Key: The Indiana Pacers are hungry to make the playoffs.  They won't be taking the Sacramento Kings lightly today.  And they are in the more favorable situation after having yesterday off, while the Kings just escaped with a 103-99 win at Oklahoma City yesterday.  Now the Kings will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 7th game in 11 days.  They will for sure be without their top 2 guards in Fox and Haliburton and could be without both Barnes and Metu.  The Kings are 0-8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record.  The Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as favorites.  The Kings are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 trips to Indiana.  Take Indiana.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on New Orleans Pelicans -2

The Key: The Pelicans will be seeking to avenge their 15-point loss to the Warriors last night.  They made just 5 3-pointers for the entire game and shot them at 20%.  They will improve on those numbers and it will be the difference in the rematch.  The Warriors are 8-22-1 ATS in their last 31 games when playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  Take New Orleans.

6* NBA Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Miami Heat -3

The Key: The Miami Heat are in playoff mode right now and trying to avoid the play-in round in the Eastern Conference.  They are the 6th seed currently but just one game ahead of the Celtics.  The Heat have turned it on of late in going 7-2 SU & 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.  They should handle a Dallas Mavericks team that will be without Kristaps Porzingis tonight.  The Mavericks are 7-6 SU & 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.  Dallas is 1-7 ATS in its last 8 games off a loss by more than 10 points.  Miami is 5-1-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups, including 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 home matchups.  Take Miami.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Memphis Grizzlies -2.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Memphis Grizzlies.  They will be hungry tonight after dropping 3 of their last 4 games.  They will want to avenge their OT loss in early April to the Knocks on the road as well.  The Knicks will be playing for the 2nd consecutive day after winning against the lowly Rockets in Houston last night.  The Grizzlies are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 home games.  Take Memphis.

6* NBA Eastern Conference *CA$H COW* on Chicago Bulls +6

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Chicago Bulls at home tonight.  They are hungry for a win off 3 straight losses and are likely to get Nikola Vucevic back from injury.  The 76ers are getting a lot of respect from the books off 4 straight wins including the first 3 in blowout fashion.  But they are coming off an OT win last night in San Antonio that will have taken a lot out of them.  Now they will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 8th game in 13 days.  All 5 starters played at least 34 minutes for the 76ers last night and they won't have much left in the tank.  They could also decide to rest some of those starters.  Take Chicago.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +7

The Key: No game report Sunday.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Blazers/Celtics OVER 231.5

The Key: No game report Sunday.

7* Raptors/Jazz NBA *BAILOUT* on Toronto +7.5

The Key: The Toronto Raptors are hungry to make the playoffs and are 5-3 SU & 5-3 ATS in their last 8 games while making a late-season run.  Their only 3 losses all came to contenders in the Nets, Nuggets and Knicks.  The Jazz aren't a contender in their current state without Donovan Mitchell and Mike Conley.  The Jazz are 6-11 ATS in their last 17 games.  They have lost 3 of their last 4 games with 2 of those coming as double-digit favorites to the Timberwolves.  They also lost by 21 to the Suns last night and will now be playing for a 2nd consecutive day while the Raptors had yesterday off.  The Jazz are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games after trailing in their previous game by 15 points or more at halftime.  Take Toronto.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Oklahoma City Thunder +7

The Key: The Pacers just lost by 21 to the Blazers and followed it up with a 17-point loss to the Nets.  They are banged up right now and it's unsure who all is going to be playing for them.  Brogdon, Sabonis, Lamb and Sumner are all questionable.  They will not have Warren and Turner.  And they shouldn't be 7-point road favorites over the Thunder, who they only beat by 6 at home on April 21st.  The Thunder are healthier now than they were for that matchup while the Pacers are not as healthy as they were.  The Pacers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games off a game where they gave up 130 points or more.  Take Oklahoma City.

7* Jazz/Suns Western Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Phoenix -4

The Key: The Utah Jazz are still without Donovan Mitchell and they are also without Mike Conley Jr.  They just aren't as good without these 2 and certainly not good enough to hang with the Phoenix Suns tonight.  The Suns are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite of 6 points or fewer.  Phoenix is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 home games against a team with a winning road record.  Utah is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 matchups with the Suns.  Take Phoenix.

6* Friday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Hawks/76ers UNDER 220

The Key: This is a rematch from Thursday when the Hawks lost 83-127 at Philadelphia for 210 combined points.  These teams combined for just 206 points in their previous matchup this season as well.  So the books have set this number too high tonight at 220 considering these teams just played and are very familiar.  The Hawks are missing a ton of offensive weapons in Hunter, Reddish and Huerter plus Trae Young and Bogdan Bogdanovic are questionable.  The UNDER is 7-3 in Hawks last 10 games.  The UNDER is 10-3 in 76ers last 13 games.  Take the UNDER.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Toronto Raptors +3

The Key: The situation is a bad one for the Denver Nuggets tonight.  They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 5th game in 7 days after Jokic, Porter Jr. and Campazzo all played more than 36 minutes last night in their 2-point victory over the Pelicans.  The Raptors are 5-2 SU & 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall and had yesterday off to rest.  They are basically fully healthy while the Nuggets are missing Murray, Barton and Morris.  Take Toronto.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls +4

The Key: The Knicks just had their 9-game winning streak snapped with a loss to the Suns last time out.  Teams that have long winning streaks snapped always seem to be flat in their next game following that initial loss.  I like the price we are getting on the Bulls, who are still managing to play well without Zach LaVine because they are a deep team.  They are 4-2 SU & 4-2 ATS in their last 6 games overall with upset road wins over the Celtics and Heat.  The Bulls are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games as road underdogs.  Take Chicago.

7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Philadelphia 76ers -8

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the 76ers who are at full strength now and coming off a 121-90 win over the Thunder.  They had lost 4 straight to 3 of the best teams in the NBA in the Bucks (twice), Suns and Warriors prior to that win.  And they should pick up another blowout victory over the short-handed Atlanta Hawks tonight.  Atlanta will be playing without Young, Huerter, Hunter, Reddish and Snell tonight.  The home team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 matchups int his head-to-head series.  Take Philadelphia.

7* Mavs/Warriors TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on Golden State -2.5

The Key: The Dallas Mavericks will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 5th game in 7 days.  They have all kinds of injuries right now too, and Luka Doncic played nearly 38 minutes last night.  The situation really favors the Warriors, who had yesterday off and are playing their best ball of the season right now.  The Warriors are 7-2 SU & 7-2 ATS in their last 9 contests.  Take Golden State.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Houston Rockets ML +107

The Key: The Minnesota Timberwolves are in a huge letdown spot off 2 straight wins over the Utah Jazz as double-digit underdogs.  They won on a buzzer-beater last night.  Now the Timberwolves will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night and won't have the energy to match that of the Rockets.  They won't even care about this game either after beating the Jazz twice.  The Rockets have stayed competitive and are getting healthy here down the stretch.  They are 2-0 ATS in their last 2 games overall while covering against both the Clippers and Nuggets.  They beat Minnesota by 22 and lost to them by 6 only after blowing a huge lead late in the 4th quarter in 2 matchups of a double-header back at the end of March.  The Timberwolves are 3-11 ATS off an upset win as an underdog this season.  Minnesota is 1-7-1 ATS in its last 9 games off a SU win.  The Rockets are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games when playing on 2 days' rest.  Take Houston on the Money Line.

6* NBA Western Conference *CA$H COW* on Minnesota Timberwolves +10

The Key: The Minnesota Timberwolves just beat the Utah Jazz 101-96 as 12-point road dogs on April 24th.  The Jazz cannot come back as 10-point favorites here on the road in the rematch.  They are still without their best player in Donovan Mitchell and his 26.4 PPG.  The Timberwolves are as healthy as they have been all season and are starting to play much better with recent upset wins over the Jazz, Heat and Kings.  The Jazz are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall and not playing nearly as well without Mitchell.  The Timberwolves are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games in the 2nd half of the season when up against a team that outscores their opponents by 9 PPG or more on the season.  The Jazz are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games.  Take Minnesota.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Los Angeles Lakers -10

The Key: The Los Angeles Lakers are hungry for a win after losing 3 straight to Utah and Dallas (twice).  Anthony Davis is back in the fold now and this team should improve rapidly here before the playoffs.  They take on a team they should handle in the Orlando Magic, who are just 1-11 SU & 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall with 9 losses by double-digits.  The Magic are coming off a 19-point home loss yesterday to the Pacers which followed up a 35-point home loss to the Pelicans.  They will now be playing for a 2nd consecutive night and won't have much left in the tank as they have so many guys out due to injury already.  The Lakers are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games as favorites.  The Magic are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games.  Take Los Angeles.

7* NBA Western Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Portland Trail Blazers -4.5

The Key: The Blazers are just 1-6 SU in their last 7 games with 4 losses by 2 points or less.  That includes their 128-130 home loss to the Grizzlies on Friday that they will want to avenge here Sunday.  And they won't have to face Jaren Jackson Jr. who scored 23 points against them and is out for this game.  We'll get a big effort from the Blazers tonight and it should be enough to avenge that defeat and cover this short number.  The home team is 7-1 SU & 7-1 ATS in the last 8 matchups.  Take Portland.

6* Celtics/Hornets ESPN *CA$H COW* on Charlotte Hornets +8

The Key: The Boston Celtics are getting too much respect as 8-point road favorites over the Charlotte Hornets today.  The Hornets will be looking to avenge a blowout road loss to the Celtics from earlier this month.  The Celtics are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 games against a team with a losing record.  Boston is 5-11 ATS in its last 16 games as a road favorite.  The Hornets are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games as home underdogs.  Take Charlotte.

7* NBA Western Conference Game of the Month on Minnesota Timberwolves +13.5

The Key: The Utah Jazz cannot be 13.5-point favorites over the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight considering they are without their best player in Donovan Mitchell and his 26.4 PPG.  The Timberwolves are as healthy as they have been all season and are starting to play much better with recent upset wins over the Heat and Kings.  They are coming off a 3-point loss to the Kings in the 2nd game of a double-header, but that works in our favor here as the Timberwolves are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games off a loss.  Bets against home favorites of 10 or more points who are off a blowout win by 15 points or more against an opponent that scored 55 points or more in the 1st half of 2 straight games are 39-12 ATS over the last 5 years.  Take Minnesota.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Cleveland Cavaliers +2

The Key: The Cleveland Cavaliers have stayed competitive here down the stretch due to staying healthy.  They have gone 4-5 SU & 5-4 ATS in their last 9 games overall.  They come in rested after having yesterday off and take on a Hornets team that is struggling and tired right now playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  The Hornets are 1-6 SU & 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and just lost to a Bulls team by 17 last night that was playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  The Hornets will be playing their 7th game in 11 days here.  They remain without Hayward, Ball and Monk.  The Cavaliers are 14-6-1 ATS in the last 21 matchups, including 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups in Charlotte.  They just won 103-90 in Charlotte on April 14 just over a week ago.  Take Cleveland.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Year on Miami Heat -5

The Key: Injuries aren't going to allow the Atlanta Hawks to be competitive tonight.  They will be without Trae Young and his 25.3 PPG and 9.6 APG tonight.  They will also be without Gallinari, Snell, Reddish and Hunter and Capela is questionable tonight.  They take on a Heat team that is surging in winning 9 of their last 13 games, including their last 3 games by a combined 44 points.  Atlanta is just 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games against a team with a winning record and has failed time and time again when stepping up in competition.  Take Miami.

7* 76ers/Bucks TNT Game of the Year on Milwaukee -5.5

The Key: The situation really favors the Bucks tonight.  They come in on 2 days' rest and hungry for a victory after dropping their last 2 games.  They have a chance to gain on the 76ers in the Eastern Conference standings here.  The 76ers will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day and their 3rd game in 4 days after losing by 3 at home to the Suns last night.  Now they have 4 of their best players questionable to play in this game in Embiid, Simmons, Harris and Curry.  Even if everyone were to play for the 76ers I like the Bucks, so having any of them sit would be a bonus.  The Bucks have won 9 of their last 13 matchups with the 76ers with 8 of those wins by 6 points or more.  Take Milwaukee.

7* Grizzlies/Clippers NBA TV *BAILOUT* on Memphis +2

The Key: This is an awful spot for the Los Angeles Clippers tonight.  They will be playing for the 2nd consecutive day, their 5th game in 7 days and their 9th game in 14 days.  They were already without Kawhi, Ibaka and Beverly and they aren't deep enough to overtime this tough situation.  Now they face a very good Grizzlies team that is 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games and rested after having yesterday off.  The Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.  The Grizzlies are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as underdogs.  Take Memphis.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Detroit Pistons +10.5

The Key: The Detroit Pistons have gone 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall and now get both Jerami Grant and Cory Joseph back from injury tonight.  They should be able to hang with the struggling Dallas Mavericks, who are 1-4 SU & 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall with their lone victory coming by a single point at Memphis.  They went 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS at home during this stretch with upset losses to the Spurs, Knicks and Kings as well as a blowout loss to the 76ers.  The Mavericks are 1-9 ATS this season when facing a team that only wins 25% to 40% of their games.  Take Detroit.

7* Clippers/Blazers TNT *BAILOUT* on Portland +8.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting with the Portland Trail Blazers tonight. They are now 8.5-point home dogs to the Los Angeles Clippers after going just 2-5 SU & 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. This is easily their largest home dog role of the season. The Blazers want to avenge their loss to the Clippers on April 6th just 2 weeks ago. Take Portland.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Orlando Magic +13

The Key: The Orlando Magic have either won or lost their last 3 games all by less than 11 points. And they should stay within this huge number against the Atlanta Hawks tonight. The Hawks are getting too much respect from the books after covering 8 of their last 10 games. But the Hawks haven't been more than a 10.5-point favorite all season and this is just the 2nd time they have been a favored by more than 8 points. I like the price we are getting with the Magic tonight. Take Orlando.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on San Antonio Spurs -1

The Key: The Indiana Pacers are in a tough situation tonight. They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day. They will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days and their 9th game in 14 days. The Spurs want to avenge their overtime loss to the Pacers from earlier this month and are in a great situation to do so after having yesterday off. Take San Antonio.

6* Monday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Spurs/Pacers UNDER 232

The Key: With the Pacers being tired they aren't going to be looking to play very fast tonight. And the Spurs and Pacers just played earlier this month, so they know what each other likes to run offensively. I think we see a much lower scoring game than the first matchup tonight. Take the UNDER.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Kings/Mavs OVER 230

The Key: The Kings play fast and play no defense so they are the perfect OVER team. The Mavericks have one of the best offenses in the NBA with Doncic, Porzingis and company. It's no wonder the OVER is 7-3 in the last 10 matchups and 4-1 in the last 5 matchups between the Kings and Mavericks. The OVER is also 20-8 in the last 28 matchups in Dallas. Take the OVER.

7* Nets/Heat ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami +4

The Key: The Miami Heat are hungry for a victory after losing 3 straight road games to the Suns, Nuggets and Timberwolves. They will be playing with a chip on their shoulder today, especially with the Brooklyn Nets coming to town. A motivated Heat team is a dangerous one. Bets on teams who are attempting to avenge a loss by 10 points or more and also off 3 or more consecutive road losses are 60-27 ATS over the last 5 years. Take Miami.

7* NBA Total of the Week on Spurs/Suns UNDER 227.5

The Key: Neither the Suns nor the Spurs prefer to play at fast paces. And the Spurs will be especially slow tonight after losing 106-107 to the Blazers last night, so they'll now be playing for a 2nd consecutive day. The Suns rank 25th in pace this year. These teams played a slow tempo game in their first and only matchup this year that finished with only 202 combined points. Take the UNDER.

7* Knicks/Mavs ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on New York +5.5

The Key: The New York Knicks are now 5-2 SU & 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games with their only two losses both coming by exactly 2 points on the road to Boston and Brooklyn.  They continue to get zero respect here as 5.5-point dogs to the Dallas Mavericks.  The Mavericks are 2-3 SU & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games with one of their wins coming on a buzzer-beater.  The Knicks' last non-cover came at home in a loss to Dallas on April 2nd, so they'll be seeking to avenge that defeat.  The Knicks are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 games overall.  The Knicks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 trips to Dallas.  Take New York.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Washington Wizards +2

The Key: The Washington Wizards are playing their best basketball of the season now that they are as healthy as they have been all year.  They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games in which Bradley Beal has played and have won 4 of their last 5 games straight up.  The Pelicans are missing some key shooters and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road matchups with the Wizards.  Washington is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 matchups with New Orleans.  Take Washington.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Cleveland Cavaliers +8

The Key: The situation favors the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight.  They will be playing their 2nd game in 4 days and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall with 3 SU wins by 13 points or more.  The Warriors will be playing for the 2nd consecutive day and their 5th game in 7 days.  The Warriors are 7-22-1 ATS in their last 30 games when playing for the 2nd consecutive day.  Take Cleveland.

6* NBA Western Conference *CA$H COW* on Oklahoma City Thunder +11

The Key: The Golden State Warriors cannot be double-digit road favorites over the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight.  They are missing 3 of their top 6 scorers in Oubre Jr, Wiseman and Paschall.  The Thunder are getting healthier here down the stretch and will be more competitive.  That showed last night as they easily covered as 16.5-point road dogs at Utah in a 10-point loss.  And only one player played more than 28 minutes, plus they had 2 days off prior to that game so they should still be fresh.  The Warriors are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games.  The Warriors are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games off 2 straight wins.  Take Oklahoma City.

7* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Month on New York Knicks +3

The Key: The New York Knicks are 4-2 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall with their only 2 losses both coming by exactly 2 points to the Nets and Celtics.  Wrong team favored here.  The Knicks are as healthy as they have been all season which is why they are playing so well right now.  The Pelicans are far from healthy as they are without Lonzo Ball, Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Josh Hart and could be without James Johnson tonight.  New York is 19-5 ATS in its lsat 24 games with a line of +3 to -3.  The Knicks are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games overall.  The Knicks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.  The Knicks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 trips to New Orleans.  Take New York.

6* Celtics/Blazers TNT *Total* Annihilator on OVER 229

The Key: Two very good offensive teams square off tonight in Portland as the Celtics visit the Blazers.  This will be a very fun up and down matchup with Tatum, Brown and Walker up against the likes of Lillard, McCollum, Powell and Anthony.  Both teams prefer smaller lineups and the Blazers have paid for it on defense.  They rank 29th in defensive efficiency this season.  But the Blazers are 7th in offensive efficiency while the Celtics are 12th.  Portland is 14-4 OVER in its last 14 games off 2 or more consecutive unders.  The OVER is 8-3 in Celtics last 11 games as road underdogs.  The OVER is 4-1 in the last 5 matchups in Portland.  Take the OVER.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Charlotte Hornets -1.5

The Key: The situation favors the Charlotte Hornets tonight.  They will be playing just their 4th game in 9 days and will be a much fresher team than the Los Angeles Lakers.  The Lakers will be playing their 7th consecutive road game and for a 2nd consecutive night after losing on the road to the Knicks last night.  They are still without LeBron and AD and have gone just 5-8 SU without those 2 stars.  They basically need to win this game SU to cover the spread tonight, so that's asking a lot given the tough situation.  Take Charlotte.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +2.5

The Key: The New Orleans Pelicans are playing for a second consecutive day, their 5th game in 7 days and their 8th game in 12 days.  They had to come back in the 4th quarter last night to beat the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers and they won't have much left in the tank for the Kings tonight.  They Kings will be playing only their 3rd game in 7 days.  Take Sacramento.

6* 76ers/Mavs ESPN *CA$H COW* on Philadelphia -2.5

The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers had yesterday off while the Dallas Mavericks lost a 117-119 shootout to the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.  Now the Mavericks will be playing for a second consecutive day after 4 starters played more than 33 minutes last night, including Doncic and Porzingis.  The Mavericks have rested either one or both of those studs in the second of back-to-backs before this season and don't be surprised if they do it again.  The 76ers are a great team when Joel Embiid is healthy as he is having an MVP-caliber season.  And he is back now and the 76ers as a whole are as healthy as they have been all season.  Dallas is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games off 2 straight games where it attempted 90 or more shots.  The 76ers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 road games, including 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as road favorites.  Take Philadelphia.

7* Heat/Blazers NBA *BAILOUT* on OVER 221.5

The Key: The Blazers just beat the Heat 125-122 on March 25 in a game that saw 247 combined points.  It should be more of the same as they matchup again here roughly 2 weeks later.  Take the OVER.
