Houston Texans. Las Vegas Strip Move play. Game 419. 5:00 pm pst. 8 Stars. +4. Dak and Ezekiel are not expected to play here (check status). For a team and a head coach that isn’t known to put forth an effort in preseason play to be a favorite of this many points, is beyond me. Throw in the mix that the team is 0-2 SU and ATS thus far and has only mustered a total of 19 points, then I must side with the Houston squad looking to create some excitement for the team and their fans. As everyone knows they are touted to finish last in the AFC South so some buzz with another win in the preseason would certainly do just that. Take the points with the Texans. Thank you. |

Cincinnati Bengals. Friday Night Lights Winner. Game 405. 5:00 pm pst. 8 Stars. +5.5. The WFT can definitely surprise Dallas for the top spot in the NFC East. The Bengals, on the other hand, are forecasted to finish last in the AFC North and would love to give their fans something to be excited about. The Patriots ran through the WFT defense in last week’s 22-13 loss and no cover. The Bengals, which beat the Buccaneers, 19-14 for the outright win have a very impressive rushing corps. The WFT isn’t known to try too hard in August, riding a 2-7 mark both SU and ATS their last nine preseason games. And they certainly won’t jeopardize their playmakers too long in just Game 2 of the preseason. Too many pints to give here. Take the Bengals. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the run line. MLB BEST BET Play. Game 962. 4:05 pm pst. 9 Stars. -1.5 -135. New York is surging, winning 14 of their last 19 outings. The lineup is absolutely crushing the ball, lighting up opposing pitchers, scoring five or more runs in seven of their last 10 contests.

08-14-21 | Dodgers -1.5 v. Mets | 2-1 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Los Angeles on the run line. BEST BET play. Game 959. 4:10 pm pst. 9 Stars. -1.5 -110. It’s been well documented this season just how inconsistent the New York offense is. The team just can’t produce runs on a regular basis. This does not bode well here as Los Angeles owns the Majors 3rd ranked scoring offense, accounting for over 5.20 RPG. That would be enough to side with the Dodgers in this matchup. However, they now top both leagues in pitching (team ERA of 3.12) as well. Walker Buehler (12-2, 2.13) takes the mound today. The RH has allowed three or less ER’s in his last 16 starts. He has only had one outing this season going 5.0 IP (his shortest). The 27-year-old is good for between 6.0-7.0 IP in just about every turn in 2021 (22 of 23 starts). Taijuan Walker (7-7, 3.89) has lost his last four starts and has gotten shelled in five straight appearances. The Mets don’t have the bats to compete here. Nor can they stifle the surging Dodgers lineup. L.A. is 22-7 the last 29 games played in N.Y., 5-1 the last six games played on the road, and 5-1 the last six games played overall. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Pittsburgh Steelers. Game 105. 4:30 pm pst. Philadelphia isn’t known to try too hard in August and I don’t see them jeopardizing either their current starting quarterback or their future starting quarterback. Pittsburgh looked pretty good in their NFLX opening season win and cover over Dallas a week ago. The Steelers, which are forecasted to be a “mediocre” team this upcoming season, would love to give the team and their fans something to be excited about. Take Pittsburgh. Thank you. |

Pittsburgh dwells in the division cellar, 25.0 GB, at 41-70 and own the worst offense in baseball, averaging a mere, 3.63 RPG. That would be reason enough in this matchup as Cincy’s lineup ranks 5th in scoring (5.05 RPG). However, the Pirates pitching staff is juts as laughable, ranking 28th with a Team ERA of 5.12. The Reds are 17-4 L21 vs. the Pirates, 4-0 L4 at home, and 5-1 L9 vs. RH starters. Take Cincinnati on the run line. Thank you. |

Phoenix. NBA FINALS GOY. Game 502. 6:05 pm pst. Phoenix enters the Finals much fresher. Despite the WCF and the ECF both going six games, the Suns, which finished their series four days before the Bucks, had a much easier time with the Clippers than the Bucks did with the Hawks. Word is that Giannis Antetokounmpo (check status) “if” he plays, certainly won’t be 100%. This changes the entire offense and hurts Milwaukee significantly in transition. Keep in mind, although both regular season meetings were won my one-point, the Suns still won and covered both. They are a stronger team now than they were in February and March. The fresher legs, with the smarter coach, with the frustrating defense will come out here in Game 1 and win and cover. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS L7 meetings with the Suns and 3-9 ATS L12 as an underdog. The Suns are 4-0 ATS L4 on three or more days rest and 8-3 ATS L11 as a home favorite. Take Phoenix. Thank you. |

Houston on the Run Line. GRAND SLAM. Game 921. 4:15 pm pst. Houston is an AL elite team. They have dominated Cleveland, winning both meetings this season and six of the last seven going back to last season. The Indians rookie RH, Eli Morgan (1-2, 9.37) is making just his fifth ever start. In his first four starts, he has allowed 17 ER’s in only 15.4 IP. The Astros are 5-1 L6 at the Indians, 8-2 L10 on the road, and 11-2 L13 following a win. Take Houston on the run line. Thank you. |

Washington has been outscored, 29-12 while losing all five meetings with Los Angeles in 2021 and today they might be without two of their top hitters (Turner and Schwarber, check statis). LA has won their last eight games and have Kershaw (9-7, 3.23) on the hill. He is 14-4 with a 2.62 ERA in 20 career starts vs. the Nationals. Take the Dodgers on the run line. Thank you. |

Clippers. WCF GAME 6 WINNER. Game 532. 6:00 pm pst. The Clippers seem to play their best basketball when their back is against the wall. Three times this postseason Los Angeles has faced elimination and beat it. The last several meetings this round, they have frustrated Phoenix, holding the Suns to 92, 84, and 102 points. The Clippers are one of the toughest teams in the NBA at home. They are 10-2 ATS L12 at home vs. the Suns, 5-1 ATS l6 overall at home, 7-2 ATS L9 on one days rest, and 7-2 ATS l9 overall. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

Funny thing about this series, the Clippers, despite being down 3-2, have outscored the Suns. Three of the four meetings this round have been separated by a total of 11 points. Los Angeles is 16-7 L23 vs. the Suns, 6-2 ATS L8 on one days rest, 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog, 4-1 ATS L5 following an ATS loss, and 6-2 ATS L8 overall. Take the Clippers. Thank you. |

Trae Young, the teams top-scorer, had his poorest performance and lowest scoring game in the playoffs. Expect the star guard to come in here in Game 3, at home, and produce. The Hawks are one of the NBA’s best home teams and giving them points here is a mistake. They are 4-1 ATS L5 following an ATS loss, 20-6 ATS L26 at home, 15-7 ATS l22 on one day rest, and 11-5 ATS L16 overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Padres on the Run Line. Diamond Play. Game 912. 1:10 pm pst. Arizona won their first road game since April 25, yesterday. But savor the flavor as the Diamondbacks have a mediocre offense, at best and one of the worst pitching staffs in baseball. Gallen (1-3, 3.67) and Darvish (7-2, 2.50) are scheduled starters here. Expect the Padres, which won eight straight prior to Saturday, to bounce back here. San Diego owns the League’s second ranked pitching staff (3.15 Team ERA) and during their recent, eight-game win streak, they averaged 6.25 RPG. The Diamondbacks are 0-5 L5 following a win. The Padres are 21-5 L26 at home. Take San Diego on the run line. Thank you. |

Atlanta. CTB. Game 581. 5:35 pm pst. This is way too many points to give the better-coached, well-prepped, and scrappy Hawks. Atlanta has been money to us bettors, covering eight of their last 11 postseason outings. Milwaukee, on the other hand, has crushed followers, going 3-8 ATS their last 11 playoffs contests. The Hawks outhustled the Bucks in Game 1. Milwaukee is very similar to a Philly team which Atlanta ousted in the last round. The Hawks are 19-7 ATS L26 at the Bucks, 5-1 ATS L6 as a road ‘dog, and 15-6 ATS L21 on one day rest. The Bucks are 1-4 ATS L5 following a SU loss, 1-4 ATS L5 as a fav, and 0-7 ATS L7 home games vs. teams with a losing road record. Take Atlanta. Thank you. |

Chicago has a two-game lead over Cleveland in the Central’s two-horse race. The White Sox are one of baseball’s best home teams, donning a 27-12 mark at Guaranteed Rate Field. The Mariners, once they leave home, are having problems. They are just 15-21 as a visitor. Chicago has taken two of three meetings with Seattle in 2021. Today, Kikuchi (4-3, 3.46) and Rodon (6-2, 1.83) are starters. The White Sox average nearly a full run more than does the Mariners and yield more than a full run less. Seattle is 11-31 L42 road games vs. LH starters. Chicago is 40-13 L53 as a home favorite. Take the White Sox. Thank you. |

Atlanta hawks. ECF GOY. Game 561. 5:35 pm pst. This is just too many points to give a well-coached, smarty and scrappy, Hawks team that ousted the 76ers in the last round. Milwaukee has gotten by with luck. We have seen the Bucks commit countless mental errors, turning the ball over, getting flustered, and missing crucial shots from the FT line. They are very similar to the 76ers. Look for the sharper, better-coached, and the frustrating Hawks squad to out smart and outclass the 76ers here. Atlanta is 12-3 ATS L15 at Milwaukee, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 10-4 ATS L14 overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you. |

Phoenix. WCF Game 2 Winner. Game 552. 6:05 pm pst. The Phoenix Suns have now won and covered eight straight contests. Game 1 of this series was tied, 93-93 when the fourth quarter began. Phoenix then showed why they are the best team in the West, prevailing, 120-114. Both Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul are ruled out today. Leonard is the Clippers top-scorer, one of their best rebounders, and the teams floor general. L.A. can not compete without him. Paul is a star. However, the Suns have some very talented guards to fill in without affecting the team. Phoenix will once again be too much on the boards and outrebound Los Angeles here. And, if you are concerned about the number, if you recall, the Suns were favored by six points in both Games 1 and 2 of the last round against the Nuggets, and won both by a combined 42 points. The Clippers are 1-4 ATS l5 as a road underdog. The Suns are 10-1 ATS L11 playoff games as a favorite. Take Phoenix. Thank you. |

Houston Astros on the run line. AL GAME OF THE WEEK. Game 961. June 22, 2021. 4:05 pm pst. Winners of eight straight and 17 of their last 21 outings, Houston has taken sole possession of first place in the AL West. They sport the AL’s best overall record (44-28). Very quietly, the Astros lineup tops the Majors in scoring (5.68 RPG), Team BA (.277), and OPS (.802). Let’s not overlook the fact that they are also crushing the long ball, tallying 95 HR’s. This is impressive enough. However, their pitching staff ranks ninth, with a Team ERA of 3.61. On their current win streak, the offense is averaging 8.12 RPG, accounting for six or more runs in seven of those eight victories. Their pitchers have yielded an average of 2.50 RPG, allowing three or less runs in seven of those eight contests. Zack Greinke gets the nod here. The RH dons a 7-2 record with a 3.74 ERA. The team is 11-4 this season in his 15 appearances. No one expected too much form Baltimore this year. And yet, the Orioles have still underachieved. At 23-49, they own the AL’s worst record and dwell in the AL East cellar, 20 GB. Jorge Lopez is 2-8 with a 5.95 ERA on the campaign. The RH has gotten roughed-up in his last two turns, not making it past the fourth inning and getting plowed for 10 ER’s, resulting in two losses. The team is just 1-6 in his last seven appearances. Baltimore has dropped 10 of their last 11 games. You can’t point a finger and not hit someone to blame, folks. On the few occasions they did score some runs, their starters and relievers have allowed so many runs (86 runs in those 10 defeats) they had to change the bulbs on the stadium scoreboard LOL. Houston accounts for more than a run and half per game and yields nearly a run and a half less. They are 11-3 L14 meetings at Camden Yards, 6-2 L8 on the road, and 20-7 L27 as a favorite. Baltimore is 16-44 L60 vs. RH starters, 1-4 L5 at home, and 15-37 L52 as an underdog. Take the Astros on the run line. Thank you. |

The Dodgers have outscored the Diamondbacks, 31-9. As a matter of fact, they are 20-7 the last 27 overall matchups in this rivalry. Gonsolin (0-0, 0.38) and Young (2-4, 3.86) are scheduled starters today. L.A. accounts for almost a full run per game more than does ‘Zona and allows more than two runs per game less. The D-Backs are currently riding a 16-game losing streak while the Dodgers have turned up the heat, winning nine of their last 11. L.A. is 6-1 L7 at Arizona. Take the Dodgers on the run line.

Suns. WCF GOY. Game 536. 12:35 pm pst. Both teams are without superstars. Kawhi Leonard and Chris Paul are both out here. Both have missed a significant number of games this season. But this isn’t the regular season. Leonard is the teams top-scorer, one of their best rebounders, and their floor general. While Paul is a solid contributor, the Suns possess a few solid guards that will fill on and not affect the squad. The Clippers have only had one day to rest and prepare for the Western Conference Finals following a grueling, six-game war with the Jazz. Phoenix did away with Denver in a four-game sweep and have rested for about a week. The Suns have the offense and the defense to overwhelm the tired Clippers team. Not to forget they are on a seven-game win and cover streak. Take Phoenix. Thank you. |

The Bucks have made a slew of mental errors, turned the ball over, and missed quite a few crucial free throws this round. James Harden returned to the floor the last two games and averaged 42 MPG. His numbers were down. Expect the star guard to have a significant impact here having had some time to rest. Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS L4 at home vs. Milwaukee, 11-1 ATS L12 as a home favorite, 5-1 ATS L6 on one day rest, 14-3 ATS L17 overall at home, and 7-3 ATS L10 following an ATS loss. Take the Nets.

The Hawks are also one of the NBA’s strongest teams when playing host. Giving them points here is a gift. Nate McMillan has been one step ahead of Doc Rivers this round and has made some adjustments and they have all worked out. All this along with the funk Ben Simmons has been in, tells us to take the home underdog here. The 76ers are 1-4 ATS L5 at the Hawks. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS L5 as a home underdog. Take Atlanta.

Brooklyn. HIGH ROLLER play. Game 501. 5:35 pm pst. Both teams need the win tonight. The Bucks to avoid elimination. And the Nets as to not let the series even out and force a Game 7. We’ve been watching Milwaukee commit a ton of mental mistakes. While Antetokounmpo and Middleton are putting up some amazing numbers, the team overall is turning the ball over and is falling short at the FT line. James Harden had one of his poorest performances all season in Game 5. But he still played over 45 minutes. Expect him to have a much better game here and keep this contest close. The Nets are 4-1 ATS L5 vs. the Bucks, 5-0 ATS L5 on one days rest, and 4-1 ATS L5 on the road. The Bucks are 4-10 ATS L14 as a fav, 3-7 ATS L10 following an ATS loss, and 2-5 ATS L7 at home.

Donovan Mitchell had some time to rest and heal a bit. Expect the Jazz to dominate here just as in the first two games of this series. Quin Snyder also had time to prepare his squad and make the necessary adjustments to overcome L.A.’s zone defense. Look for Utah’s “bigger” lineup to get it done in the paint. The Clippers are 8-22-1 ATS L31 at the Jazz, 1-4 ATS L5 as a road ‘dog, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. The Jazz are 6-0 ATS L6 as a fav, 4-0 ATS L4 at home, and 6-2 ATS L8 overall. Take Utah. Thank you. |

And after a lackluster performance on Wednesday, expect the 76ers to take the lead here in this best-of-seven series over the fifth seed. Center, Joel Embiid shot quite poorly in game 4 and will dominate here in game 5. Atlanta is not the same team on the road (19-22) as they are at home (28-12). The Hawks are 1-4 ATS l5 at the 76ers and 3-7 ATS L10 on the road. The 76ers are 4-0 ATS L4 following an ATS loss and 9-3-1 ATS L13 at home. Take Philadelphia. Thank you. |

Milwaukee. SLAM DUNK Play. Game 571. 5:30 pm pst. Brooklyn, for much of the season had to deal with injuries to their stars. However, playing without Harden and Irving (both ruled out today), against the NBA’s top-scoring team, will be fatal. The Bucks have taken Games 2 and 3 with authority. The Nets just can not compete with Antetokonmpo and Middleton up front. Durant can’t do it all by himself. And with two thirds of the dream team sidelined, Milwaukee will key on KD. They have the depth to frustrate the forward and slow him down a bit. The Bucks are 16-5-1 ATS L22 at the Nets, 4-1 ATS L5 following a SU win, and 5-2 ATS L7 on one day rest. Take Milwaukee.

Cleveland on the RUN LINE. HOME RUN play. Game 918. 4:10 pm pst. The A.L. Central’s second place team hosts the A.L. East’s last place team here. Cleveland is playing solid baseball (35-28), getting contributions both from the mound and at the plate. Baltimore owns the A.L.’s worst overall record at 22-43 along with some of the Majors poorest statistics. Currently, the Orioles are riding a five-game slide in which they have been outscored, 34-11. This includes a series-opening defeat at the hands of the Indians. Matt Harvey (3-7, 7.41) is 0-5 with a 14.19 ERA in his last six starts and over his career, the RH, in three appearances (two as a starter), is 0-2 with a 12.38 ERA vs. Cleveland. Reliever, Cal Quantrill (0-2, 3.21) will be making his third start in four appearances on the campaign here today. The O’s are 1-5 L6 at the Indians, 15-37 L52 on the road, and 18-41 L59 overall.

The Jazz will bounce back here and avenge Saturday’s thumping. They are better on the boards and can and will slow down the Clippers top-ranked outside shooting squad with the NBA’s second-ranked three-point defense. The Jazz are 9-4 ATS L13 at the Clippers, 11-4 ATS L15 overall vs. the Clippers, 5-1 ATS L6 on one days rest, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 6-1 ATS L7 overall. Take Utah. Thank you. |

Throw in the mix they are one of the NBA’s best at home, and I don’t see how Game 2 won’t have the same outcome as the series opener. The Jazz have won and covered three of four meetings with the Clippers in 2021. Los Angeles is 8-21-1 ATS L30 in Utah and 0-4 ATS L4 Conference Semi Final games.

Devin Booker (26.2 PPG, 5.2 RPG, 5.4 APG this series) and Deandre Ayton (17.4 PPG, 12.2 RPG this series) have been just too much for the Lakers the last two games. Look for Ayton to dominate in the paint once again tonight. If Davis is out, there is no one to contend with the Suns center. And is Davis does, by chance play, he will not be at full strength. Phoenix is 8-3 ATS L11 as a road ‘dog. Los Angeles is 1-5 ATS L6 as a home fav, 3-7-1 ATS L11 on one days rest, and 6-13-1 ATS L20 overall. Take the Suns. Thank you. |

Memphis. CRASH THE BOARDS. Game 535. 6:35 pm pst. This is too many points to give a competitive, Memphis team facing elimination. Ja Morant and Dillon Brooks will continue to get their points while the supporting cast steps up. The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS L10 at the Jazz and 7-3 ATS L10 as a road ‘dog.

Phoenix. Game 526. 7:05 pm pst. With a doubtful, Anthony Davis (check status), Los Angeles just doesn’t measure up and won’t be able to contend with Phoenix in Game 5. Chris Paul looked as sharp as ever in Game 4. His shoulder issue seems to have healed quite nicely. Look for the Suns to gain the advantage in this series. The Lakers are 3-7 ATS L10 as a ‘dog, 2-6-1 ATS L9 on one days rest, and 5-11-1 ATS L17 overall. Take Phoenix. Thank you. |

Utah. CTB. Game 513. 6:30 pm pst. The Jazz have dominated the boards in this series and have taken Games 2 and 3 by an average of 12.0 PPG. With Utah finally at full strength, they are a true force. They have had their way with Memphis, winning eight of the last nine meetings SU. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS L6 at home, 2-6 ATS L8 vs. teams with a winning record, and 1-5 ATS L6 overall. Take the Jazz. Thank you. |

05-31-21 | Cardinals +1.5 v. Dodgers | 4-9 | Loss | -130 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
St. Louis. GS. Game 957. 6:10 pm pst. Losing three in a row to drop into 3rd place in the NL West, Los Angeles is looking more and more mortal. Over their last seven outings, five times their pitching staff has been mauled for five or more runs. Jack Flaherty (8-1, 2.84) has had 10 starts this season as the team is 9-1 in those starts. The RH is 1-1 with a 1.08 ERA vs. the Dodgers in his career, striking out 36 batters in 25.0 IP against them. The Cardinals are 4-1 L5 on the road, 20-9 L29 Monday games, and 13-6 L19 during Game 1 of a series.

Philadelphia. VI MOVE. Game 511. 4:05 pm pst. Washington has no answer for Philly’s starting-five. All of which are averaging double-digits this series. The Wizards own the leagues worst defense, getting plowed for over 118.5 PPG overall. But, in this Round 1 matchup, they are being steamrolled for 125.6 PPG. The 76ers play, in the next series, play the winner of the Knicks/Hawks matchup. They will finish off the Wizards here in a sweep, allowing the team a few extra days to rest and prepare. Philadelphia is 10-3-1 ATS L14 as a road favorite. Washington is 2-10 ATS L12 playoff games as an underdog. Take the 76ers. Thank you. |

Mavs. CONSENSUS. Game 508. 6:35 pm pst. After steamrolling just about every adversary over the last five weeks, Dallas was outplayed on their home court in Game 3, humbling the team. You can expect the Mavericks to make the necessary adjustments here and be more physical and extremely aggressive. The Clippers have no answer for forward, Luka Doncic (38.0 PPG, 8.7 RPG, 9.0 APG in this series) at all. The Dallas supporting cast will be prepped and primed to get a home win here and further better themselves to close out this series. Los Angeles is 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Dallas, 2-6 ATS L8 on the road, and 1-4 ATS L5 as a fav. Dallas is 7-3 ATS L10 overall, 4-0 ATS L4 following a SU loss, and 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog. Take the Mavericks.

76ers. CONSENSUS. Game 575. 4:05 pm pst. Going back a year and half, Philly has taken seven consecutive meetings SU with Washington. They have won all five 2021 matchups by an average of 13.8 PPG. The 76ers are getting solid production from both their starters and their bench. Beal is the only consistent Wizards player this series. If Westbrook plays (check status) he won’t be 100%. Either way the team can not go score-for-score here. Philadelphia is 9-4 ATS L13 as a favorite and 9-3-1 ATS L13 as a road favorite, Take the 76ers. Thank you. |

Bucks. EGW. Game 571. 10:35 am pst. Milwaukee has just dominated Miami in this series. As good as the Bucks are offensively (#1, 120.1 PPG), it has been their swarming defense that has been the reason for their success here. They are frustrating the Heat particularly the teams to regular season scorer, Jimmy Butler, who is averaging only 15.3 PPG in this series. Milwaukee will close the series out today and ensure themselves a few extra days to rest and prepare before the next round. The Bucks are 3-1 ATS vs. the Heat this season. The Heat are 1-4 ATS L5 as a home underdog. Take Milwaukee. Thank you. |

Dallas Mavericks. Vegas Insider Move. Game 566. 6:35 pm pst. Los Angeles, like every other team in the NBA, has no answer for Luka Doncic. The star forward has averaged over 35.0 PPG and 8.5 RPG in this series while his supporting cast consists of four other players averaging DD’s and a few flirting with it. While Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are incredible players, they’re not as young as they once were and averaging over 40 MPG each through Games 1 and 2, is going to be fatal here. The Mavericks have won and covered four of five meetings with the Clippers this season. They are also 4-0 ATS l4 as an underdog and 5-0 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600. The Clippers are 2-6 ATS L8 on the road, 0-5 ATS L5 playoff games as a favorite, and 1-6 ATS L7 following a SU loss. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

New York Yankees on the RUN LINE. GRAND SLAM. Game 915. 4:10 pm pst. New York has taken five in in a row over Detroit, including all three 2021 meetings. The Yankees have outscored the Tigers, 18-4 on the season. The Bronx Bombers bats have heated up. But it is their fourth ranked pitching staff (3.18 Team ERA) that has been stellar. Cole (6-2, 1.81) is 6-1 with a 1.97 ERA in eight career starts vs. Detroit. The Tigers 28th ranked offense (3.54 RPG) is in for a long day. The Yankees are 11-4 L15 at the Tigers.

New York Knicks. Slam Dunk play. Game 561. 4:05 pm pst. The halftime adjustments made by Tom Thibodeau in Game 2, brought the Knicks a victory and momentum going into Game 3. New York has covered eight of the lats nine vs. Atlanta, including three of the four meetings this season. Rose and Burks are being utilized perfectly allowing Randle and Barrett to soar. The NO.1 defense in the NBA will be the difference here. The Knicks are 15-5-1 ATS l21 meetings with the Hawks, 13-3 ATS l16 on the road, and 11-3 ATS l14 as an underdog. Take New York. Thank you. |

Suns. Best Bet play. Game 553. 7:00 pm pst. Phoenix took Game 1 and was extremely competitive in Game 2. James and Davis both played nearly 40 minutes each on Tuesday. I look for the more youthful Suns to be a bit fresher here, particularly come the second half. The Lakers are just 14-23 ATS at the Staples Center this season. L.A. is 3-8 ATS L11 at home, 2-6-1 ATS L9 on one days rest, and 0-4 ATS L4 as a home fav.

Grizzlies. VI MOVE. Game 545. 7:05 pm pst. Memphis has covered three of four meetings with Utah this season. With Donovan Mitchell scheduled to finally hit the floor after nearly seven weeks, expect the Jazz to be out of sync trying to accommodate the star. Morant and Brooks will control the tempo while Valenciunas, Anderson, and Jackson dominate down low. The Grizzlies are 7-3 ATS L10 at the Jazz. Take Memphis. Thank you. |

Knicks. BEST BET Play. Game 544. 4:35 pm pst. New York lost a heartbreaker at home in Game 1, 107-105. While Trae Young lit up the No.1 defense in the NBA for 32 points, the Knicks top performers, Julius Randle and RJ Barrett combined for a disappointing, 12-of-38 shooting from the floor. New York will make the necessary changes to slow down Young while the dynamic duo find the hoop here. The Hawks are 1-6-1 ATS L8 vs. the Knicks and 1-5 ATS L6 on the road. The Knicks are 13-4 ATS L17 as a home favorite and 14-5 ATS L19 following a SU loss. Take New York. Thank you. |

Clippers. Game 536. 7:35 pm pst. L.A. was embarrassed in Game 1, losing 113-103. This is a smart, healthy team with seasoned veterans, Leonard, George, and Rondo, just to name a few. They will show their playoff experience and step-up here. The team held Doncic to just one point in the fourth quarter by doubling him up. Look for more of that here in Game 2. The Mavs are 4-9 ATS L13 vs. the Clippers. The Clippers are 5-0 ATS L5 following a double-digit loss at home. Take Los Angeles. Thank you. |

Heat. VI MOVE. Game 521. 4:35 pm pst. Miami is a scrappy team. They’ve covered seven of their last nine contests, including Game 1 of this series. Jimmy Butler’s presence was felt in the opener. But, the star forward, shot just 4-of-22 from the field including 2-of-9 from beyond the arc. All this and the team still pushed Milwaukee to OT. Butler will come out here and have more success in Game 2 for sure. The Bucks are point spread poison going 1-7 ATS L8 as a favorite, 1-4 ATS L5 at home, and 1-5 ATS L6 following an ATS loss. The Heat are 6-1 ATS L7 overall, 6-1 ATS L7 at home, and 4-0-1 ATS L5 following a SU loss. Take Miami. Thank you. |

At home, they are money, winning 11 of their last 12 SU, and going 9-3 ATS. The Hawks have trouble when traveling, failing to cover their last five on the road. The swarming, top-rated Knicks defense will frustrate the Hawks here and allow their stars, Randle and Barrett to shine. Atlanta is 0-6-1 ATS L7 vs. New York. New York is 16-5 ATS L21 as a home favorite. Take the Knicks. Thank you. |

Trailblazers. Game 511. 7:35 pm pst. Portland has covered all three meetings with Denver this season. They are 10-2 overall their last 12 games SU, going 9-3 ATS, beating some of the NBA’s best. As good as the Nuggets offense is, the Blazers score more, are better from both the FT line and from downtown. The back court of Lillard and McCollum are one of the most talented in the NBA. They do outclass the Denver guards and will penetrate the paint against their big men. The Trailblazers are 4-0 ATS L4 meetings with the Nuggets and 7-1 ATS L8 as an underdog. The Nuggets are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning record and 1-6 ATS L7 on three or more days rest. Take Portland. Thank you. |

Clippers. Game 510. 1:35 pm pst. The well-rested stars of the Clippers will shine here. Both teams success relies upon their big men. Forwards, Doncic and Porzingis (47.8 PPG, 16.9 RPG) represent Dallas while Leonard and George (48.1 PPG, 13.1 RPG) lead Los Angeles. The Clippers are far stronger overall on both ends of the court on the boards. But, this game will come down to the No.1 three-pt shooting and FT shooting squad of LA terrorizing Dallas from beyond the arc and making most of their shots from the line. The Mavericks are 4-9 ATS L13 vs. the Clippers and 5-11 ATS L16 playoff games as an underdog. The Clippers are 40-19 ATS L59 following a SU loss and 20-5-1 ATS L26 on three or more days rest.

Warriors. VI MOVE. Game 580. 6:05 pm pst. The Warriors, which have covered seven in a row and nine of their last 10, have taken two of three meetings with the Grizzlies in 2021. The last meeting, was just five days ago, when Golden State tore up Memphis, 113-101. Steph Curry has a ton of postseason experience in which he personally has elevated his team in big-game situations. He and his warriors will light up the scoreboard from beyond the arc here. The Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS L11 at the Warriors, 1-7 ATS L8 following a SU win, and 0-4 ATS L4 overall. The Warriors are 6-0 ATS L6 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 as a favorite, and 6-0 ATS L6 on one days rest.

Grizzlies. VI MOVE. Game 568. 4:30 pm pst. San Antonio lost 10 of their last 12 regular season games. The team saw 14 different lineup changes this season. Losing Derrick White a few weeks ago put the nails in the coffin for coach “Pop.” The Spurs don’t possess the muscle to contend here in the paint and certainly can’t compete from beyond the arc with one of the NBA’s poorest three-point shooting teams. Memphis has won five of their last six SU, is healthier, and better on the boards. Morant will be a major factor but the big men, Valenciunas, Jackson Jr., and Anderson (43.9 PPG and 23.8 RPG combined) will be the difference here. San Antonio is 1-4 ATS l5 as a road ‘dog. Take Memphis. Thank you. |

Wizards. Game 561. 6:10 pm pst. Boston limped into the postseason dropping 10 of their last 15 games. Losing standout guard, Jaylen Brown two weeks ago will be fatal here today. Washington possesses one of the NBA’s most explosive back courts. Beal and Westbrook (53.5 PPG, 16.2 RPG, 16.1 APG combined) will take this game over and light up the scoreboard. The Wizards enter the playoffs winning 17 of their last 23 regular season contests. They seemed to get stronger as the season progressed. Washington is 4-1-1 ATS L6 vs. Boston, 5-0 ATS L5 as an underdog, and 8-1-1 ATS L10 on the road. Boston is 0-8 ATS L8 on one days rest, 1-4 ATS L5 as a favorite, and 0-4 ATS L4 at home.

Miami can still move up in standings for the playoffs. Granted, some other things must happen to do that, but the one thing that must occur, is they win here. They are 11-4 SU L15 and more importantly, 4-1 ATS L5. Take the Heat. Thank you. |

Charlotte has lost three in a row SU and seven of their last 10. NY’s top-ranked defense in PA, FG%, and 3-PT% is playing superbly and will completely shut down the Charlotte “O”. All this while Randle and Barrett continue to shine. The Hornets are 2-5 ATS L7 in New York, 1-5 ATS L6 as a ‘dog, and 0-5 ATS L5 on the road.

Wizards. VI MOVE. Game 502. 4:10 pm pst. A very angry and motivated Wizards team will come in here today looking to destroy the Cavaliers. Washington could have clinched a spot in the play-in tournament on Wednesday. Instead, they squandered a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter of a 120-116 heartbreaking loss to Atlanta. They catch a Cleveland team in “let down” mode here. It took nearly three weeks and 11 straight defeats, but the Cavaliers finally got a win Wednesday surprising Boston. Bradley Beal is out. But the star has missed 11 games in 2021 and the squad still ranks third in the league in scoring (116.6 PPG). The Wizards won and covered both meetings with the Cavs, by an average of 19.0 PPG. Look for Russell Westbrook to continue his stellar run. Cleveland is 7-21 ATS L28 on the road, 1-6 ATS L7 following a SU win, 15-36 ATS L51 on one days rest, and 15-31-1 ATS L52 overall.

Just this week, the Raptors officially ended the season for seven players, including their top-four producers (Siakem, VanVleet, Lowry, and Anunoby). Without these starters, the team got crushed by the Clippers on Tuesday, 115-96. Chicago will play with intensity and motivation here to keep their postseason hopes alive.

Portland has won four in a row and eight of the last nine SU against some very strong competition. Utah, which has failed to cover their last two contests, tends to be overvalued at home. The Trailblazers are 5-1 ATS L6 on the road and 4-1 ATS L5 as an underdog. Take Portland. Thank you. |

With Jaylen Brown lost for the rest of the campaign, the team must rally here and make a statement. The Cavaliers are sitting their starters a bit as they have now dropped 11 in a row both SU and ATS. This is a do-or-die for the Celtics which are 7-3 ATS L10 on the road. Take Boston. Thank you. |

Nuggets. Game 531. 4:10 pm pst. Denver, which comes off two losses to Utah and Brooklyn, has had two days to rest, heal, and prepare for today’s matchup. The Nuggets don’t just need to turn things around today, but moreover, would love to catch the Clippers, which sit one game ahead of them in the Western Conference’s third seed. Charlotte also needs a victory to clinch a spot at least in the Eastern Conference’s postseason play-in game. The Hornets have just three SU victories over their last eight outings (2-6 ATS). Those opponents were the Pistons twice and the Magic, both last place teams. When it comes to stepping up in class, Charlotte just doesn’t have the personnel. And folks, they are stepping up here. Denver has taken four straight meetings with Charlotte SU (3-1 ATS), including the only 2021 meeting, 129-104. They will once again dominate the boards at both ends of the court. Charlotte is 0-4 ATS L4 on one days rest, 1-8-1 ATS L10 vs. teams with a winning percentage over .600, and 0-4 ATS L4 as an underdog. Take the Nuggets. Thank you. |

Granted Williamson and Ingram are still out. Both have been sidelined the last two games, which have been ATS wins for the Pelicans. This is a scrappy squad that has covered seven of their last eight overall outings. Memphis is looking to clinch a spot in the play-in tournament with a win here. New Orleans can go score-for-score here and on both ends of the court are better on the boards. Too many points. The Pelicans are 6-0 ATS L6 on the road and 5-0 ATS L5 as an underdog.

But, have the talent and depth to do to the Cavaliers what every other team in the league has done, crush them. Cleveland has now lost and failed to cover 10 in a row. The average margin of defeat during their current skid is 18.1 PPG. Look for Domantas Sabonis (20.5 PPG, 11.8 RPG) to go uncontested here. Indiana is 23-10-2 ATS L35 meetings with Cleveland, 18-7-1 ATS L26 as a road fav, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage under .400. Take the Pacers. Thank you. |

05-09-21 | Mavs -10.5 v. Cavs | 124-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Mavericks. VI MOVE. Game 507. 4:10 pm pst. Dallas’ recent surge of nine victories over their last 11 outings (7-3 ATS L10) has catapulted the team into the Western Conference’s fifth seed. But they are only a half-game ahead of Portland and just two games in front of Los Angeles. They need wins. Porzingis has only played once for about 20 minutes over the Mav’s last nine games. MVP-candidate, Luka Doncic has been outstanding, scoring at least 23 PPG in seven consecutive games. Throw in his rebounds and assists and you can’t argue his claim on this season’s possible MVP. Overall, this team is scoring points. But it is their eight-ranked defense that has been stellar. Cleveland is horrible. They own the NBA’s third worst record and its current worst losing streak, dropping nine in a row both SU and ATS. During their current skid, the Cavs are losing by an average of 17.1 PPG. The Mavericks are 6-2 ATS L8 at the Cavaliers, 5-0 ATS L5 overall vs. the Cavaliers, and 7-3 ATS L10 overall. The Cavaliers are 8-26 L34 following an ATS loss, 1-10 ATS L11 as an underdog, and 0-5 ATS L5 at home. Take Dallas. Thank you. |

Nuggets. Best Bet play. Game 574. 7:10 pm pst. Brooklyn has now lost four in a row both SU and ATS. This is a matchup the Nets are not accustomed to seeing as the Nuggets offense can go score-for-score with them. The edge goes to Denver, which is a much better rebounding squad. The Nuggets are 4-1 ATS L5 as a ‘dog. Take Denver. Thank you. |
