12-04-21 | Spurs +8.5 v. Warriors | Top | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 57 m | Show |
We just think this is a huge letdown spot for the Warriors after they snapped the Suns winning streak last night. They played two straight against the Suns and also had a game against the Clippers, who are more of a rival than the Spurs, who aren’t really moving the needle from an excitement standpoint at the moment. But the Spurs have won three straight and covered in four of five games, and we see a competitive game here tonight. |

12-04-21 | Alabama v. Gonzaga -9.5 | 91-82 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Gonzaga -9.5 over Alabama (8p.m., Saturday, December 4 ESPN2) Alabama has a bad loss this season to Iona and making this cross-country flight to Seattle will doom them in. Gonzaga has a statewide following in Washington in people in Seattle will be excited to see them on Saturday night. Gonzaga is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 neutral site games. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Clippers v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 119-115 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
We rarely take the Lakers for expert picks. They are normally shaded by the oddsmakers and they are normally one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA. But bettor confidence is down for them at the moment, and we had them laying five in this game tonight in our NBA handicapping. The Clippers just look lost lately. They were beaten soundly in their last two games – by the Kings and Pelicans, two of the worst teams in the NBA. The Lakers have been more competitive lately and they have won three out of four, and they will have their full complement of the Big 3 tonight. The Clippers have been playing very bad defense, and we see the Lakers cruising to an easy win here. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Celtics v. Jazz OVER 209.5 | 130-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
The Jazz are really playing well offensively. They have scored 118 or more in six of their last eight games. Boston is a good defensive team, but we don’t see them doing enough to slow the home team down, and we think the Jazz can easily get over 110 here, and we think this will be a pretty competitive game as we lean to Boston ATS, so we think the road team will get their fair share of points also. The over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Utah. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | Pelicans v. Mavs OVER 216 | 107-91 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, and the Mavs scored 139. New Orleans has a horrible defense. Even if they make some adjustments, we don’t see how they will do much better here. Even if they cut 15 points off that total it wouldn’t be nearly enough. And there is a good chance the Pelicans play better on offense here as this will likely be more competitive than a 30+-point blowout. |
|||||||
12-03-21 | College of Charleston +7.5 v. Furman | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #843 Charleston over Furman (7p.m., Friday, December 3 ESPN+) Both teams are 5-2 on the season and Charleston’s two losses have come against Oklahoma State and North Carolina. I think they will be competitive in this game and go down to the wire. Furman has a bad loss on the season to Navy and struggled to blowout out their last two opponents in USC Update and High Point. The road team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games between Charleston and Furman. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Thunder v. Grizzlies OVER 212.5 | 79-152 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Grizzlies have really been playing great on offense recently, minus their last game against the Raptors. But we think they can put up a big number here tonight. The Thunder are coming in on a back-to-back, and they looked tired in the fourth quarter, allowing Houston to rally and score at will. We think that will carry over here, and the Grizzlies could very possibly score in the 120 range. The over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings, and we expect that trend to stay true tonight. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bulls v. Knicks OVER 209.5 | 119-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bulls have scored 123 or more in two of their last three games, so they are feeling it offensively even though those were against two bad defensive teams. But they just need a good offensive game here and this one will likely sail over the total. The Knicks haven’t been as good defensively as last season. And after a streak of unders, two of the last three games for NY have gone over the posted number, and we think the bookies have overadjusted this total as well. |
|||||||
12-02-21 | Bucks v. Raptors OVER 215 | 93-97 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
The Bucks offense is humming, and they have gone over in three straight. 114 was their lowest point total in their last seven games. If they get anywhere close to their recent average, this will be an easy cash. This total was adjusted downward because of Toronto, who have played in three straight under games. But we think their offense will benefit from the pace here, and we doubt their defense can do much to slow down the Bucks offense tonight. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Kings v. Clippers -8 | 124-115 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
We love to back a good team off an embarrassing loss. Not sure the Clips are a good team yet as they have been wildly inconsistent this season. But they are certainly off a very embarrassing loss as they were blown out at home by New Orleans. They were on a B2B in that game after a tough game against the Warriors, but now it is the Kings that are on a B2B. They were blown out by a Lakers team that has looked worse than the Clippers, and LeBron James was out with Covid. They really faded in the second half and looked out of energy, and that is a bad sign against a Clippers team that has owned them the last couple years (10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings). |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Texas Tech v. Providence +3 | Top | 68-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 31 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #716 Providence over Texas Tech (8:30p.m., Wednesday, December 1 FS1) Just believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. Texas Tech has a new coach and they have played a terrible schedule thus far in 2021. It is really embarrassing that they have played six cupcakes at home. Providence is 6-1 on the season with a victory at Wisconsin and their only loss coming at Virginia. Texas Tech is 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games. Providence is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | Top | 114-110 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
This is a rapid revenge spot for the Thunder as these teams played Monday and the Rockets blew out OKC in Texas. Now we have a venue change where OKC is at home, and we think they are the better team despite the records by a considerable margin. At 13-7, OKC is one of the better ATS teams in the NBA. They are 7-3 ATS in their last 10, so they are playing above oddsmaker expectations. Houston is just not a good team and they don’t handle success well as they are 2-9 ATS after a SU win. The Rockets are 1-8 ATS in their last nine meetings in OKC. |
|||||||
12-01-21 | 76ers v. Celtics UNDER 206.5 | 87-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Six of the last nine meetings have gone under the posted total. We like the way the Celtics have been playing defense. They have really been concentrating on that aspect as a team, and it is showing on the court. They have held three of their last four opponents under the century mark, and there’s a good chance that happens here as well as the Sixers have been offensively challenged lately. We see this as a close, low-scoring game, and as long as there is no OT we should cover here easy. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Lakers -3.5 v. Kings | 117-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
We rarely take the Lakers as they are normally shaded by the oddsmakers, but we think this is a good spot. LA is getting healthy, and they need a win here and should be extra motivated after losing to the Kings recently. This is more than a fair number for the much better team on the road. These teams have both been terrible ATS, but the Lakers have been shackled with shaded lines by the oddsmakers, while the Kings always get the benefit of very favorable lines. We think the road team gets a 7+-point win here. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Pistons +9.5 v. Blazers | 92-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Portland has just been a very mediocre team this season, and they are getting lined here according to their potential and not their play on the court. They come into this one in lousy form, having lost three straight SU and ATS. Detroit is a young team that is going to have some bad losses, but there is some talent here and they have been a very good bet as a big underdog as they normally play hard for a full four quarters. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Long Beach State v. San Diego State OVER 137.5 | 47-72 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #639 Over in Long Beach State @ San Diego State (10p.m., Tuesday, November 30) The Beach is allowing 87 points per game and if they hit that mark on Tuesday this game should easily go over the posted total. Long Beach State has gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 29 road games. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Clemson +1.5 v. Rutgers | 64-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #629 Clemson over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, November 20 ESPN2) This play is just a fade against Rutgers, a team that does not seem right at this point of the season. Rutgers is coming off three straight losses against teams that will not make the NCAA tournament. Rutgers is 0-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games. This is a rematch of the NCAA Tournament, and this time Clemson will get the victory. |
|||||||
11-30-21 | Grizzlies v. Raptors OVER 216 | 98-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Both teams are trending to the over. The over is 7-0 in the Grizzlies last seven games. Seven of the last nine games for Toronto have gone over. With Ja Morant out for Memphis, the oddsmakers can’t make the total too high. But this one is once again too low. Both these teams have been allowing lots of points. And this should be a close game and both teams will get their points to get this one over the posted total. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Cavs +6.5 v. Mavs | 114-96 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Cleveland continues to be one of the best ATS teams in the league at 13-7 ATS, and they have covered in their last three games as well. The Mavs are one of the worst ATS teams this season and they are regularly overrated by the oddsmakers. No one wants to bet this team with no stars, and the Mavs have some star power that hasn’t translated into the expected success on the court this season. In fact, these teams have very similar records, and we expect a close game tonight. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Pacers v. Wolves OVER 216.5 | 98-100 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
Minnesota is trending to the over and three straight games and four of five have gone over the posted total. Also, four of the last five meetings have gone over the posted number. The Pacers are the better defensive team, but they are coming in on a back-to-back and we think Minnesota will bring the pace here tonight. The Pacers will be use their energy to run instead of on defense. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Magic +14 v. 76ers | 96-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
When a team is catching this many points, you have to look for a reason to back them. Since these are normally bad teams, you need to usually look at the other team and see if there are chinks in the armor. In our opinion, Philly hasn’t played like a team that should be laying this many points. They have covered in only two of their last 10 games. They are finally getting healthy, but this team hasn’t exactly been dominant when healthy this season. We think the Magic will be competitive in this one, and the players are probably even aware of this huge point spread and could use it for fire. |
|||||||
11-29-21 | Iowa v. Virginia -1.5 | 75-74 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #806 Virginia over Iowa (7p.m., Monday, November 29 ESPN2) Iowa has played cupcakes thus far in 2021 to amass a 6-0 record. This will be their first game against a real opponent and Virginia is not the type of team you want to play in this situation. Iowa is 0-8 in their last 8 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Virginia is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games played on Monday. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Pistons v. Lakers UNDER 215.5 | 106-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
This is a battle against the teams involved in that dustup over a LeBron James elbow last week, and as a result this game will be more contentious than a regular season game against two teams playing badly normally would. We see a hard-fought game on both sides where both teams step up the defensive intensity, and the Pistons are very bad offensively and will have to rely on pace and defense to stay within striking distance and a chance for a win here. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Stanford v. Colorado -3.5 | 76-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Colorado -4 over Stanford (7p.m., Sunday, November 28 PAC12N) Stanford has never put together a strong season under Jerod Haas and I do not expect this will be the year he turns it around. Both of their losses have come by blowouts and this game double be a double-digit victory for the home team. Stanford is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The favorite has covered 5 of the last 7 matchups between Stanford and Colorado. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies -3 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Both teams have similar records, but the Grizzlies have a much higher ceiling and they have underachieved to start the season, while the Kings have been what we expected from them. And we are getting a nice line here because Morant, the best player on the court for Memphis, is missing. But this team still has a lot of talent, and their offense has been humming lately. In a game that won’t feature much defense, we see the home team pulling away in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
11-28-21 | Kings v. Grizzlies OVER 222 | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |

|||||||
11-28-21 | Warriors v. Clippers UNDER 215.5 | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 3 h 27 m | Show | |
Both teams combined are 24-14 to the under this season. The Warriors have one of the best defenses in the NBA this season. They are No. 1 in points allowed, and the Clippers aren’t far behind at No. 3. The problem is with LA is that they can’t get consistent scoring, and that is why they are struggling. We don’t think we can count on their offense here, but they should play solid defense against the dynamic Golden State offense. We don’t see them in a shootout here, so they will have to rely on their defense to keep them in the game. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Suns v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 113-107 | Loss | -101 | 25 h 37 m | Show |
We think this is a great spot for the Nets, who have been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately. They are well rested here after having two nights off after a big win over Boston on Wednesday, while the Suns are on a back-to-back. They played a physical Knicks team last night. Phoenix has been playing extremely well overall lately, but they have had a very busy schedule this week and this road trip will start to wear on them. Brooklyn has had a lot of success in this series as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. And since these teams don’t see each other often, that trend stretched back for years. |
|||||||
11-27-21 | Oklahoma v. UCF +1.5 | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #614 Central Florida over Oklahoma (2p.m., Saturday, November 27 ESPN+) UCF returns a ton of talent from last season and this is a team that should challenge for an NCAA come March. Oklahoma lost three starters from last season, and they also have a new coach and system in 2021. The Sooners are 3-12 ATS in their last 15 games. That includes going 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. UCF already beat a similar team to Oklahoma in Miami and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Celtics -3 v. Spurs | Top | 88-96 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 48 m | Show |
Boston had been playing very well recently until they ran into a hot Brooklyn team and had kind of a bad loss on Wednesday. We think that was just a hiccup and this is a great spot for them to bounce back and get on track. Boston has found their defense and they have probably been playing some of the best defense in the NBA throughout the last 10 or so games before the Brooklyn loss. We expect them to be focused here against a very beatable opponent, and this line is more than fair laying a small number on the road. Boston has bounced back well after a loss as they are 4-0 ATS after losing a game. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Hawks v. Grizzlies OVER 224.5 | 132-100 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Memphis has been trending to the over with five straight games going over the posted total. Their offense has been steadily improving while their defense has been allowing lots of points on a regular basis. They have allowed 120+ on average in their last three games. Atlanta is a team that can put up a lot of points against a bad defense. Memphis is dead last in the NBA in points allowed. We see a close game here, just like the oddsmakers, and we think both teams will get their points. |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Syracuse +6 v. Auburn | 68-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #857 Syracuse +5.5 over Auburn (4:30p.m., Friday, November 26 ESPN2) Auburn still has injuries to key players and they have played 15 more minutes in this tournament. Syracuse played much better last night, and I see them taking this game down to the wire on Friday. Syracuse is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Auburn is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-26-21 | Pistons +12.5 v. Clippers | 96-107 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
The Clippers were ON during their seven-game winning streak, but that seems pretty far in the rearview mirror and this team is OFF right now. They have lost four of six SU and ATS, and three of those losses have been by double digits. That’s not the type of form where the more popular team should be laying double digits to anyone, even the rebuilding Pistons. Detroit is battle tested lately and they have played a bunch of playoff type teams lately. They have been very competitive and haven’t lost a game in blowout fashion in a handful of games against teams in better form than LA. Detroit is 6-1 ATS in their last seven after a loss. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Arizona State v. Syracuse -1.5 | 84-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #794 Syracuse over Arizona State (7:30p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN2) Syracuse shot the ball poorly yesterday and look for betting things today against another bad team. ASU lost their best player to Kansas in the offseason, and I do not expect much from them in 2021-2022. Arizona State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 neutral site games. Syracuse is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Maryland -1.5 v. Richmond | 86-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #811 Maryland over Richmond (7p.m., Thursday, November 25 CBSSN) Richmond just does not seem to challenge for NCAA Tournament bids anymore. They have a coach that just does the bare minimum to keep his job each season and they already have two losses on the season against teams that will not make the NCAA Tournament come March. Maryland has a bad loss to George Mason, but they were ranked at the start of the season for a reason, they have talent. These schools do not play often but expect Maryland to knock out this mid-major. |
|||||||
11-25-21 | Connecticut v. Michigan State +2.5 | 60-64 | Win | 100 | 1 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #787 Michigan State over Connecticut (12p.m., Thursday, November 25 ESPN) Just not sure how much gas UCONN has left in the tank after playing a double overtime game yesterday. Michigan State is not getting much love from the polls thus far in 2021 but they are still a solid NCAA Tournament team. Michigan State is 27-10 ATS (1 push) in their last 38 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Raptors v. Grizzlies OVER 217 | 126-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Raptors are trending to the over, with five of their last six games going over the posted total. They face a very good Memphis offense that has scored 119 or more in three of four games. Toronto has been strong defensively at times this season, but not lately. They have given up 118 or more in four of five games. Both teams are trending to the over, and we expect a barnburner here, where the Grizzlies pull away in the fourth quarter for the cover. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Suns v. Cavs +8 | 120-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Suns have that gaudy 14-3 record, but the Cavs have a better ATS record than do the Suns. They are one of the better ATS teams in the NBA at 11-7 ATS. They have been in a bit of a slide lately as they faced an incredibly brutal schedule lately. And they didn’t embarrass themselves in any of those games and were always competitive. The Suns have faced a slew of Western Conference teams lately. They have been playing well. We think they might take a breather here and not give 100% against an out of conference team that isn’t going to move the needle nationally. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Hornets v. Magic OVER 218.5 | 106-99 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Orlando defense is barely even trying lately and they have given up 115 or more in three straight games and five of the last seven. The Hornets have faced a bunch of really good defensive teams lately, but they should be able to put up a massive number here, and getting over 120 for them seems likely to us, so the Magic won’t need to score much even in a blowout. Four of five meetings have gone over the posted total, and the Hornets have scored 120 or more in both of the last two meetings. Despite their poor offense, Orlando is 10-8 to the over, meaning the oddsmakers are posting too low totals for them on a regular basis. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | Wisconsin v. St. Mary's +2.5 | 61-55 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #762 Saint Mary’s (CA) over Wisconsin (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN) The Gaels are the most experienced team in the country and expect him to win the Maui Invitational today in Las Vegas. Wisconsin played over the heads yesterday and I do not believe they can rise to that level again on Wednesday. Saint Mary’s is a better version of Wisconsin especially shooting the basketball, as both teams like to slow the pace down and get the best shot late in the shot clock that they can get. Wisconsin is 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-24-21 | VCU v. Syracuse -4.5 | 67-55 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #748 Syracuse over VCU (5p.m., Wednesday, November 24 ESPN2) VCU is not the same team we think of in past years. This team really has trouble scoring and playing in a conference room against a veteran zone team should not help those stats. VCU is 6-13 ATS int ehir last 19 games as an underdog. Syracuse is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Lakers v. Knicks UNDER 214 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
The Lakers need any win they can get right now and they didn’t give themselves the best chance to get that win tonight with LeBron James getting suspended. He just came back into the lineup, and the Lakers really needed him. We think the Knicks will dominate this one. They are back to playing their brand of defense that we have gotten used to. Their last seven games have gone under as a result. Their offense hasn’t been dynamic enough to put up a big number here, but their defense has been good enough to contain the Lakers offense. |
|||||||
11-23-21 | Wisconsin +7.5 v. Houston | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #655 Wisconsin over Houston (5p.m., Tuesday, November 23 ESPN) This line is too high for a game with a total this low. Houston is the better team, but Wisconsin has experience and should be able to take this game down to the wire. Both teams beat bad teams on Monday and if Wisconsin can shoot it like they did the last 30 minutes they should have a chance to win this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Magic +13 v. Bucks | Top | 92-123 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
These teams played Saturday, same venue, and the Bucks won by only 9. Milwaukee is not in playoff form right now, but they keep getting lined by the oddsmakers like they are. The Bucks haven’t covered a spread in five games. They are 1-7 ATS at home. The Magic aren’t a very good team. But this is a revenge spot against a familiar opponent where they just played and kept the game within punching distance. We think there’s a great chance this game is even closer than the Saturday game. |
|||||||
11-22-21 | Texas A&M v. Wisconsin -2.5 | 58-69 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #850 Wisconsin -2.5 over Texas A&M (2p.m., Monday, November 22 ESPN2) Wisconsin’s best player should be back for this game, as Johnny Davis is expected to play. Texas A&M has not played anyone this season and I do not seem them being an NCAA Tournament team come March. Buzz Williams is still rebuilding, and they struggled to put away bad teams in their first two games. The Aggies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. The Badgers are 10-3 ATS (2 push) in their last 15 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck -Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Lakers -7 v. Pistons | Top | 121-116 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 37 m | Show |
We think that this is a good spot for the Lakers to get back on track, on the road vs. a bad team. Going against the Lakers this season has been very profitable as they are bad ATS. But Detroit has been just about as bad. The difference is that the Lakers lines are shaded, while the Pistons lines have been generous. LeBron has had a game back to get his footing, and this team needs a big win bad. We think they get it tonight. |
|||||||
11-21-21 | Tennessee v. North Carolina +3 | 89-72 | Loss | -109 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #742 North Carolina Tar Heels over Tennessee Volunteers (3:30p.m., Sunday, November 21 ESPN) Tennessee will play better today against North Carolina, but I just do not like this game whatsoever. They are not a great shooting team and Rick Barnes is not a coach a trust to win big games at neutral sites. North Carolina returns a ton of talent from last season and even without Leaky Black and I believe that they will win this game straight-up. If North Carolina shoots and scores like they did yesterday I believe that will be enough to beat an overrated Tennessee team. The Volunteers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. The Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss in their previous game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-20-21 | Michigan v. UNLV UNDER 135.5 | 74-61 | Win | 100 | 12 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #889 Under 135.5 in Michigan vs UNLV (12:30a.m., Saturday, November 20 ESPN2) We will side with the under, as Michigan will likely bounce back after a bad home loss to Seton Hall this week. Michigan has gone under the posted total in 15 of their last 22 neutral site games. UNLV has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 neutral site games when they are an underdog. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

11-19-21 | Mavs v. Suns -8.5 | 104-112 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
These teams played Wednesday, same venue, and the Suns won but didn’t cover. We will go with the Zig Zag theory here, which will be useful this season with the quirky scheduling. The team that covers the first game normally doesn’t in the next, and we think Dallas is in trouble until Luka gets back as he is truly one of the top MVP candidates yearly because he is probably the most important player in the league to his team. They put up a fight Wednesday, but we don’t see it happening again tonight. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Clippers v. Pelicans UNDER 214.5 | 81-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
New Orleans is 11-4-1 to the under this season. The under is a trend league wide, and New Orleans is a perfect example. The oddsmakers have been setting the lines very high, and teams like the Pelicans struggle on offense on a regular basis. The Clippers are one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, and they are on a B2B so their offense might be a little flat. We see them winning this one in a low scoring game. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Thunder +13 v. Bucks | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Bucks have been a poor ATS team to start the season, and especially recently. This team seems to be in a bit of a funk to start the season, and they are no where near championship form that we saw over the Summer. But they are being lined as such. The Thunder are becoming a good ATS underdog. They have cashed six of eight tickets. They are gelling well as a young team and playing solid team basketball. They are healthy here and should bring their A Game against the champs to keep this one within double digits. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Lakers v. Celtics -1.5 | 108-130 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
This line is short because LeBron James should be back in the lineup. But they weren’t very good before he left with injury, and we doubt he will be in 100% game shape if he does enter the lineup tonight. Bet this ASAP as if he is ruled out, the line will rise a bit. The Lakers are one of the worst ATS teams year after year as they are given too much respect by oddsmakers and bettors. Boston is always one of the best ATS teams, and they will give their rival their best shot tonight, LeBron or no LeBron. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Pacers v. Hornets UNDER 216 | 118-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
The Hornets are playing better defense and they have cashed under tickets in four straight games. We don’t think the oddsmakers have adjusted enough. Their defense has been real good while their offense isn’t putting up the numbers they did at the start of the season. Indiana has gone under in seven of eight, and this is not a dynamic offensive team. We see a game where the defenses will tighten up in a close game in the fourth, and as long as no OT we should cash this comfortably. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | St Bonaventure -3 v. Clemson | 68-65 | Push | 0 | 2 h 25 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #861 St Bonaventure -3.5 over Clemson (2:30p.m., Friday, November 19 ESPN2) The Bonnies got off to a slow start yesterday but turned things around in the second half. Look for that to carryover into this game against a Clemson team that has not been tested this season. The Bonnies are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 neutral site games. |
|||||||
11-19-21 | Bradley +13.5 v. Colorado State | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 1 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #875 Bradley +13.5 over Colorado State (1p.m., Friday, November 19) Bradley only seems to show up in the conference tournament but this is a lot of points to be giving. Not sure how good Colorado State is with their weak schedule. Look for Bradley to slow the pace and keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | 76ers +7.5 v. Nuggets | 103-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
Philly is 0-5 SU and ATS in their last five. But we just think this is too many points. The Sixers are dealing with a lot of injuries. But so is Denver as some of their key players are out as well. The Sixers have played a lot of close games during this losing streak but they were blown out and embarrassed last time out, losing to the Jazz by 35. This is a winnable game for them and we expect a much more focused effort and we think they will challenge for the win here. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Clippers v. Grizzlies -105 | 108-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
The Clippers have good depth but a lot of that depth won’t see the floor tonight as this team is dealing with a variety of injuries. But it doesn’t really affect the spread with no big names. The Grizzlies were in a slump but they had that Get Right game against Houston and they looked really good in a 30+-point blowout. We think that momentum carries over to this game, and the Clippers have a real tough week of their schedule this week, and we don’t see it going well with a myriad of players sidelined. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Warriors -9.5 v. Cavs | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 57 m | Show | |
The Warriors faced their first major road test against Brooklyn and dominated without really breaking a sweat. This seems like a team on a mission, and they are facing a banged up Cavs team that is on a back-to-back after putting up a good fight against that same Nets team last night but losing by 10. That was a conference game and now on a B2B and very thin roster we doubt they play better than they did last night and against a hotter team tonight. |
|||||||
11-18-21 | Marquette v. Ole Miss -3.5 | Top | 78-72 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 11 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #760 Ole Miss over Marquette (7p.m., Thursday, November 17 ESPN2) The Golden Eagles are sky high coming off a victory at home against Illinois, who was without Kofi Cockburn. Watching that game on tv, I saw a poorly officiated game that greatly favored Marquette down stretch. That will not happen in this game and karma will likely strike back at them. Marquette is in a major rebuild under Shaka Smart and they struggled to put away SIUE and New Hampshire in their first two games. Ole Miss returns 4 starters from last season and should challenge for an NCAA Tournament big come March. They have not played anyone this year but will win this game by double-digits. Marquette is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Ole Miss is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Rockets v. Thunder -2.5 | 89-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
These are two lousy teams. But they are a different level of bad. The Thunder are building something, while the Rockets seem hopeless right now and are unable to win a game. And despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers, they have not been covering, either. The Thunder aren’t too far removed from a four-game winning streak, and they have covered in five of their last seven. They are a much better defensive team than the Rockets, and we think that will be the difference. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Magic v. Knicks UNDER 209 | 104-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Knicks started off the season with some high scoring games, and the best defense from last season didn’t look up to snuff. But they have settled in lately, and their last four games (and six of seven) have gone under the posted total. This looks like another one that should be real low scoring. The Knicks have ramped up the defense during this under streak, and the Magic are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. And Orlando upset the Knicks earlier in the season so we think New York will lock down defensively tonight. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Cavs +9.5 v. Nets | 99-109 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
The Cavs have some injuries tonight, but the Nets are on a back-to-back after a beatdown by Golden State last night, and we don’t see them playing well enough to win by double digits. The Cavs are 10-5 ATS this season ad flying way under the radar. They are playing excellent team basketball and solid defense, and we think they will bring that same mentality to the floor regardless of who suits up tonight. The Nets are only 7-8 ATS this season. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Lakers +9 v. Bucks | Top | 102-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
The Lakers have been bad, but we think this is too many points. The Bucks aren’t exactly in mid season form. They are 6-8 ATS on the season. They have covered only three of their last 10. The Lakers need a win badly, and we think they will play hard against the Bucks. They probably have to feel a bit disrespected also since this is their biggest line as an underdog in a while. Plus, knowing that LeBron is coming back soon might give this team a jolt. |
|||||||
11-17-21 | Wizards v. Hornets UNDER 220.5 | 87-97 | Win | 100 | 6 h 15 m | Show | |
Charlotte started the season off as a hot over team but it has gone the other way lately as their last three games have gone under the posted total. The Hornets have been playing solid defense lately, and their offense has not been putting up big numbers like the start of the season. The Wizards have gone under in six straight. They have been playing as good of defense as anyone in the league lately, holding all of their last 5 opponents to 100 or less. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Warriors v. Nets -3 | Top | 117-99 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Both teams are hot, but we think the Warriors record and recent results can be taken with a grain of salt. This team has had one of the easiest schedules in the NBA and it has been very home heavy as well. This is only their third road games outside of the state of California. They are facing their toughest opponent of the season, on the road, and we think this spread is short tonight. Might the Warriors be as good as their record indicates? Possibly. They certainly have some talent on the court. But we will have to see how they perform consistently on the road where things are a lot tougher in the NBA. We think there’s a great chance Brooklyn wins this one by 7+. |
|||||||
11-16-21 | Wright State v. Purdue UNDER 149 | 52-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #617 Under 149 in Wright State @ Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, November 16 BTN) Purdue is a physical team and I believe the Raiders will have trouble scoring points against the No. 6 team in the country tonight at Mackey Arena. Purdue has gone under the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games following a win in their previous game. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Southern Utah v. St. Mary's UNDER 139 | 51-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #848 Under 139.5 in Southern Utah @ Saint Mary's (10p.m., Monday, November 15) Southern Utah is a over team and Saint Mary's is an under team. We expect Saint Mary's to be able to control the pace since they are playing at home in a small high school type of gym. Saint Mary's has gone under the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games overall. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Providence v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 63-58 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #834 Wisconsin -5.5 over Providence (9p.m., Monday, November 15 FS1) Wisconsin will be better than people think in 2021 and they have a veteran team that will be a tough team to beat at the Kohl Center. Providence returns experience as well but they did lose David Duke and that will be tough to overcome. Wisconsin got rid of a bunch of overrated seniors last year and this should be a much more together group that plays well off of each other. The Friars are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Celtics -2 v. Cavs | 98-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
These teams played on Friday and the Cavs won a close one. Both squads were on a back-to-back so that was a boon for Cleveland as they were at home. Not only is it tough to beat a team twice in a three-day span, but with no B2B situation we give the edge to the better team, and that’s Boston. We have used the Cavs a lot lately with success but this is a good spot to go against them as the Celtics get revenge tonight. |
|||||||
11-15-21 | Illinois v. Marquette +8.5 | 66-67 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #812 Marquette +8 over Illinois (7p.m., Monday, November 15 FS1) Kofi Cockburn is still out for this game and thus I see it going down to the wire. Marquette is in a rebuild under Shaka Smart but they are always a tough out at home and tonight should be no different. 76% of the money is on Marquette and this is a statement game for the new coach. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Wolves v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 31 h 47 m | Show |
Bad spot here for the road team against the surging Clippers. LA is well rested with Friday off, while the Timberwolves are coming in on a back-to-back after playing the Lakers on Friday in a game they probably wanted more than this one. This is the first back-to-back of the season for Minnesota, and it’s a game we don’t see going well for them. These teams have already played twice and the Clippers dominated both matchups. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Texas v. Gonzaga -7 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #664 Gonzaga -7 over Texas (10:30p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN2) Gonzaga is always a tough out at the Kennel and I just do not feel Texas with a new coach is ready to be competitive in this environment. Mark Few is back on the sidelines for Gonzaga tonight and this team is loaded again with talent. Texas is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on Saturday. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Celtics v. Cavs +2.5 | 89-91 | Win | 100 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Both teams are coming in on a back-to-back, but Cleveland has a major edge here since they are at home. This team has been one of the best bets in the NBA this season and they are still flying way under the public betting radar. We think they are being undervalued again here on Saturday night, and this line has some nice value. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Georgia v. Cincinnati -9.5 | 68-73 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #638 Cincinnati -9.5 over Georgia (7p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN+) The Tom Crean tenure at Georgia has not gone as planned and I do not see him being able to turn things around anytime soon. Cincinnati has a new coach in Wes Miller and he has a much better chance to be successful. Georgia is predicted to finish last in the SEC and I see them losing this game by double digits. Cincinnati is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
11-13-21 | Delaware -2.5 v. Siena | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #643 Delaware -2.5 over Siena (7p.m., Saturday, November 13 ESPN3) Both teams are coming off blowout losses but look for the Blue Hens to get back on track tonight in upstate New York. Delaware returns all five starters from last season and they should finish in the top half of the CAA come March. Siena lost 4 starters from last season and they should finish in the bottom half of the league. Sienna is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 games overall. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Wolves +3.5 v. Lakers | 107-83 | Win | 100 | 29 h 58 m | Show | |
The Lakers have won two straight, both in OT, but in both games the opponent kind of beat themselves instead of the Lakers playing great. This is just not a good team right now. But this squad always gets the benefit of the doubt from the oddsmakers as they are the most popular betting team in the NBA every year based on their popularity. Especially after a couple wins. And they are always one of the worst ATS teams every year. We think they are overvalued again here tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Suns v. Grizzlies | 119-94 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 28 m | Show | |
The Suns have a nice record so far, but we still believe they are overrated. Their path to the NBA Finals last season was paved in gold. And they have played a super home heavy schedule so far this season. The Lakers are not good to start this season. They got blown out at Portland. And they scored a slim road win at Sacramento. The Suns overall have been racking up wins against an easy schedule that has kept them in the overrated category in our eyes. But we think this is a very tough road contest for them and we expect a comfortable win from the home team. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Pistons v. Cavs -5 | 78-98 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
Just going with the hot team here as the Cavs have been one of the best bets in the NBA this season. And they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10. They are very quietly getting the job done playing great team basketball, and without star players they are staying off the public radar. Cleveland has covered in five of the last six meetings between these clubs, and we think this line is more than fair tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Bucks v. Celtics +2 | 113-122 | Win | 100 | 26 h 59 m | Show | |
We really like the way Boston has been playing lately. They have showed us that they are probably a different team than last season, and a change of leadership has probably done this team well. They have won three of four and have covered four straight. This team has always gotten up for big games, and we feel that will be the case again on Friday night. The Celtics always seem to play well against the Bucks and they have covered in five of the last six meetings. We see them bringing their A Game here tonight. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Knicks -1 v. Hornets | 96-104 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 29 m | Show | |
In Thibs We Trust. Tom Thibodeau is one of the better coaches in the NBA, and on Wednesday he benched his starters for the entire fourth quarter to send a message. We anticipate they will respond here with an excellent performance against a Hornets team that is struggling after having lost five of their last six after a hot start to the season. The Knicks have been very good on the road this season as they are 5-1 away from MSG. We expect an inspired performance from the road team in this one. |
|||||||
11-12-21 | Fordham v. Manhattan OVER 132.5 | 60-66 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #818 Over in Fordham @ Manhattan (7p.m., Friday, November 12 ESPN3) Both teams are coming off wins and if they reach their total from game one we should easily collect in this game. The Rams have gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 10 games played on Fridays. The Jaspers have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Heat v. Clippers -4 | 109-112 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
This would have been a bigger play but the Heat went to OT last night against the Lakers and the odds moved after that. We still think the Clippers take care of business. After a slow start, the Clippers seem to be gelling well and they have won five straight. They have covered in four straight. They will face a tired Miami team that is 0-5 in their last five matchups against the Clippers. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Pacers +10 v. Jazz | 111-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Utah has been playing very well this season and is among the top teams in the league so far. But we don’t think this matchup will really move the needle for them and this is too many points for an out of conference game they won’t be very interested in. Indiana has been playing excellent defense lately, and as a result their last four games have all gone under the posted total. We think both teams will play strong defense here, and we expect a low total, making the points for the underdog all the more valuable. |
|||||||
11-11-21 | Pacers v. Jazz UNDER 216 | 111-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Utah has been playing very well this season and is among the top teams in the league so far. But we don’t think this matchup will really move the needle for them and this is too many points for an out of conference game they won’t be very interested in. Indiana has been playing excellent defense lately, and as a result their last four games have all gone under the posted total. We think both teams will play strong defense here, and we expect a low total, making the points for the underdog all the more valuable. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Hornets v. Grizzlies OVER 228.5 | 118-108 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 21 m | Show | |
These are the two worst defensive teams in the NBA for points allowed this season. The Hornets have the No. 2 offense in the NBA, and Memphis has the No. 11 offense. We think this one will be a barnburner on Wednesday night, and we expect a competitive game where both squads will get their points. Memphis has played in some lower scoring games lately, and that has caused the bookies to adjust this number. But six of the last eight meetings have gone over the total, and we expect this one to go that way as well. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | North Florida v. Texas A&M -16 | 46-64 | Win | 100 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #301210 Texas A&M over North Florida (8p.m., Wednesday, November 10 ESPN+ ) Year 3 of the Buzz Williams era gets underway on Wednesday at Reed Arena. It has been less than impressive thus far but Williams seems to win at every stop that he lands. Look for a big showing from Quenton Jackson tonight as the Aggies will win this game by double-digits. North Florida is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Bucks v. Knicks UNDER 215.5 | 112-100 | Win | 100 | 23 h 51 m | Show | |
The Knicks have been an over team for most of the start of the season as they have not played great defense and they have been saddled with some low totals. But three of their last four games have gone under with a couple solid defensive efforts. Milwaukee has been a big time under team so far. The under is 8-2 for them this season, and that is in part because of offensive inconsistency. We think the Knicks will amp up the defense against the NBA champs and we think this total is 4-5 points too high. This series has a strong history for the under in NY as 12 of the last 17 meetings have gone under the posted total. |
|||||||
11-10-21 | Wizards v. Cavs +4 | 97-94 | Win | 100 | 22 h 21 m | Show | |
Cleveland has been playing as well as any team in the NBA lately and they should be PK here if not a small favorite. We think this game is a coin flip, so getting this many points provides nice value. The Cavs have won four straight and covered in five straight games. At 8-3 ATS they have even been a slightly better bet than the Wizards (7-3 ATS). But the Wizards have had a home-heavy schedule thus far and they are only 2-2 ATS on the road. Cleveland is playing great team basketball right now, and we believe they have a great chance at the outright win here. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | Blazers v. Clippers -3 | 109-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Two teams that have been bad ATS, but the Clippers are trending up and they have won four straight and covered in their last three games. This team is used to slow starts as evidenced by their playoff performance last season, but this team is starting to gel together and they have been playing well lately on both sides of the ball. Portland has dropped four of their last five games ATS. And they are 0-5 ATS in their last five visits to play the Clippers. |
|||||||
11-09-21 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Butler -25 | 47-56 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #612 Butler -25 over IUPUI (6:45p.m., Tuesday, November 19) Butler returns all five starters from last season and look for them to challenge for an NCAA Tournament bid come March. The Bulldogs once again have a strong defense and if they can make some shots from the field, they will win this game by 30+ points. The Jaguars are rebuilding and are predicted to finish last in the Horizon Conference. Butler needs a big year and it starts tonight with a dominating win. |
|||||||
11-08-21 | Hornets v. Lakers -1.5 | 123-126 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Even though we aren’t sure who the Lakers will suit up tonight, this seems like a good situational spot to take them laying the small number. The Hornets are coming in on a back-to-back after a loss here to the Clippers last night. They really trailed off at the end of that game and looked tired. We think this will be a tough B2B for them. They are 0-4 SU and ATS the last four, and they lost the last three by 10+. We rarely take the Lakers but we think this is a good spot for them to get back on track and they are in desperate need of a win so they need to bring their A Game against a tired team. |
|||||||
11-07-21 | Cavs +7.5 v. Knicks | 126-109 | Win | 100 | 22 h 42 m | Show | |
Cleveland has covered four straight and they are 7-3 ATS on the season. This team is still not getting any respect from the oddsmakers, and they are playing great team basketball right now and staying off the public betting radar at the same time. The Knicks are off to a slow start. They have lost two of three and have covered in only one of their last four games. Their defense isn’t playing anywhere near as good as they did last season. We expect a close game here. The Cavs defense has been much better than the Knicks thus far. |
|||||||
11-05-21 | Clippers v. Wolves OVER 215.5 | 104-84 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
The Clippers broke out of their offensive slump last time out against this same team, in this same arena, by scoring 126 points on 50 percent shooting from the field. We think this will be a harbinger of things to come for LA, and they should be able to rack up some points tonight even though Minnesota will likely make some adjustments. But the oddsmakers haven’t made a very big adjustment to this total even though the game on Wednesday went above 240. We think this will be a close game and we see both teams getting their points. The over is 12-2 in the last 14 meetings in Minnesota and 10-4 in the last 14 meetings overall. |
|||||||
11-04-21 | Thunder +13 v. Lakers | 107-104 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
The Thunder just beat the Lakers last week in OKC. Revenge is an overrated angle in NBA handicapping, and for sure the Lakers are trying to gel as a team and work on their issues rather than get revenge against the big bad Thunder. While OKC isn’t a good team, they have covered in three of their last four games, and they are playing beyond the oddsmakers expectations. The Lakers are always overvalued by the oddsmakers and they are 2-6 ATS on the season, and they will likely be one of the worst ATS teams in the NBA as they often are. |

11-04-21 | Jazz v. Hawks UNDER 221 | 116-98 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
Utah is a Top 5 defensive team, and they have given up around 100 points per game this season. They are catching the Hawks on a back-to-back after a big game vs. Brooklyn on Wednesday. We just don’t see Atlanta doing much on offense here, and this total seems a tad high. The under is 4-0 in the Jazz last four road games and 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these teams. |

11-04-21 | 76ers v. Pistons +5 | 109-98 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
Philly is shorthanded tonight with some key players injured or ill, not to mention the Simmons situation, which continues to be a distraction. They are also coming in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights while the Pistons had the night off on Wednesday. Detroit has a great chance to win this outright. They are coming off two blowout losses, so there will be some urgency here. These teams played last week and the Pistons hung tough most of the game on the road, earned the cover, and should play better here at home. |

11-03-21 | Pelicans v. Kings -4.5 | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
1-Unit Play #520 Take Sacramento -5 over New Orleans (10 p.m. EST, Wednesday Nov 3) These teams played recently and the Kings won on the road. Enough time has passed to not make this a revenge situation and we see Sacramento playing well here in front of the home crowd. They had a real tough road trip recently, and this is a good spot for them to get on the right track and get their first home win of the season against an overmatched opponent. |

11-03-21 | Clippers v. Wolves UNDER 213 | 126-115 | Loss | -111 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play #515 Take LA Clippers/Minnesota UNDER 212.5 (8 p.m. EST, Wednesday Nov 3) The Clippers are banged up to start the season. They have no chemistry whatsoever and anyone not named Paul George hasn’t been contributing. Both of these defenses have been playing pretty good but the offenses have been struggling. These teams are a combined 11-1 to the under this season and we don’t see either team breaking out on the offensive end tonight. |

11-03-21 | Hawks v. Nets OVER 220 | 108-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play #511 Take Atlanta/Brooklyn OVER 220 (7:30 p.m. EST, Wednesday Nov 3) Atlanta has given up a lot of points on defense lately, and we see that continuing here tonight against the Nets. Brooklyn is 7-0 for the under this season, but the oddsmakers have overadjusted this number. Brooklyn looked real good on offense last time out against Detroit, and we think that positive momentum will continue here. The over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. |

11-03-21 | Blazers -5 v. Cavs | 104-107 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
3-Unit Play #501 Take Portland -4.5 over Cleveland (7 p.m. EST, Wednesday Nov 3) Portland hasn’t had a great start to the season and they are winless on the road, but this is a good spot for them to change that. They have had a very tough schedule to start the season. This is by far their easiest game of the season so far, and we think this line is more than fair. This is Cleveland’s first game home after a long road trip, and those first games back can be tricky for the home team. We see Portland winning by 7+ here. |
