12-10-19 | Knicks +9 v. Blazers | 87-115 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
New York at Portland 10:00 ET Knicks (+) over Trailblazers- Okay, which story-line should be foremost in our minds. The one where Carmelo Anthony extracts a measure of revenge against the team that sent hime into limbo for the past year or that New York who has lost nine straight will rally around interim coach Mike Miller who replaces Davis Fizdale (4-18). Portland has fallen the furthest mostly because they were a playoff team a year ago and now with Anthony added to their roster have accepted the 'Bottom feeder' role. The Blazers are just 4-10-2 ATS at home and New York is 6-20 ATS following an ATS win and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven trips two Portland. But, the Blazers are just going through the motions. Take NEW YORK! |

Atlanta at Miami 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Heat- These two squads have mirror records with the Hawks at 6-17 and Miami 17-6. The Heat are an outstanding 14-8-1 ATS on the season as Jimmy Butler have had a more than positive affect on his teammates. Matching ATS records are in place here as Atlanta is 1-7 ATS after an ATS win (off of win at Charlotte) and the Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last six games after a straight-up win. Atlanta is 3-1-1 ATS at Miami and gets the money here. Take ATLANTA! |

Denver who is 6-4 SU on the road this season and 1-4 SU in their last five with their only win coming against New York 129-92. Philadelphia just defeated the champion Raptors and have Boston on deck and may get caught 'peeking' toward Thursday's encounter. The Nuggets are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight road games and are 1-5 ATS in the past six meetings but gather themselves here. Take DENVER! |

Oklahoma City at Portland 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- To my surprise the Trailblazers are actually playing better with Carmelo Anthony winning four of the six games that he has been with the club. Oklahoma City is off of an improbable win where they out-scored Minnesota 17-5 in the overtime period. Portland already has a pair of wins over the Thunder including a 136-119 home win two weeks ago. This is a different OKC team, it's a team that shares the ball as they were the first team in 15 years to have five players score at least 20 points. As coach Donovan said it 'speaks to their unselfishness.' Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

LA Lakers at Portland 10:35 Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles is rebounding this season from their awful season last year and is tied with Milwaukee at 19-3 with the best record in the NBA. Portland has moved in the opposite direction this season and are already 10-games behind the Lakers this season and with the pick-up of Carmelo Anthony things are not going to get much better. But, there is one thing the Trailblazers have always been able to do and that is handle the Lakers when no one else could. Portland is 23-10 ATS in the last 33 meetings against the Lakers in Portland and 45-20 ATS overall in the ,last 65 meetings. Take PORTLAND! |

12-06-19 | Nets v. Hornets +3 | 111-104 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Charlotte 7:05 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- Boston seems to be better this season without Kyrie Irving and so are the Nets. Brooklyn has moved to 8-3 in the 11 games Irving has been sidelined and they are just 3-7 SU in games in which he has played. Brooklyn has had the best of this series of late going 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings overall and 8-2 ATS at Charlotte. But, the Hornets are now 4-1 ATS in their last five home games and they are 8-3 ATS as a home underdog of 4.5-points or less. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Sacramento at Portland 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- This is another contest where the 'number' appears to be a invite to lay the points as Portland has dominated this series having won 11 straight in the series. The Kings have managed to go 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four trips to Portland. The Kings will have Bogdan Bogdanovic available and the Blazers lose teamwork with Carmelo Anthony added to the squad. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Minnesota at Dallas 8:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- Dallas without question has had the biggest turn-around season as they are 14-6 70% this year compared to being below .500. Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis are a combo that Dallas opponents are having difficulty handling. Minnesota has also taken great strides this year and has played better than expected going 7-2 SU and ATS on the road. This 'price' seems awful cheap and unless you realize the Wolves are 7-3 SU in the last 10 meetings. Take MINNESOTA! |

L.A. Lakers at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets over Lakers- I will start by saying with this version of a healthy and rejuvenated LeBron James running the Lakers show I hesitate to play against them. Led by James at the point Los Angeles has the best record in the West (17-3) and are 8-1 SU on the road. Denver is playing great at 13-4 including 8-2 SU at home. The Nuggets have defeated the Lakers 8-of-10 at home and are 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Denver blew a 17-point second half lead at Sacramento Saturday as they may have been peeking toward this meeting with LA. Add that the Lakers are just 3-3 against better then .500 clubs, this leaves us with...DENVER! |

Dallas at New Orleans 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Mavericks- The past two year's the Mavericks have been a doormat for the rest of the NBA but this season due to some brilliant player moves that has Dallas playoff bound. They have won seven of eight both SU and ATS and are 7-2 SU and ATS on the road this season. New Orleans has dropped five straight going 1-4 ATS with their lone cover against the Lakers. Dallas took the first meeting this season winning 123-116 at home as a 2-point underdog and are now favored on the road. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Detroit at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pistons- A pair of Eastern bottom feeders matchup in Cleveland where the lowly Pistons a playoff squad last season challenge the Cavaliers. Detroit is off of their highest scoring game of the year defeating San Antonio 132-98 at home having lost eight of their previous 10 while the Cavs have dropped three straight and nine of their last 10. Detroit has won just one of 10 road games going 1-8-1 ATS and are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games in Cleveland. Take CLEVELAND! |

12-02-19 | Bulls +5.5 v. Kings | 113-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Chicago and Sacramento 10:00 ET Bulls (+) over Kings- Chicago is trying to find the proper mix of p[layers as they continue to rearrange their starting lineup. Sacramento has also done some juggling with their starting lineup as the injury to Marvin Bagley III has given a number of bench players more playing time. The Bulls have dropped their last three and seven of their last nine while the Kings are off of an emotional overtime win over Denver on Saturday and most likely won't have the same intensity against the Bulls. Take CHICAGO! |

12-01-19 | Jazz +2.5 v. Raptors | 110-130 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 45 m | Show | |
Utah at Toronto 6:00 ET Jazz (+) over Raptors- The defending NBA Champion Toronto Raptors haven't felt the impact of losing Kawhi Leonard as of yet as they have won six straight and are running neck and neck with the division leader Milwaukee. They are a perfect 8-0 SU at home and an impressive 7-1 ATS as hosts and have dominated the Jazz going 5-1 ATS at home and 11-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. What bothers me here is that with this outstanding record the Raptors have against Utah is why is the line so low? Take UTAH! |

12-01-19 | Spurs v. Pistons -2.5 | 98-132 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Detroit 5:00 ET Pistons (-) over Spurs- Two of the NBA's weaker teams who not only have trouble winning straight-up but ATS as well. The once proud San Antonio Spurs have won just seven of 20 games played and are an atrocious 5-15 ATS including 2-7 ATS on the road. Detroit hasn't been any better winning seven of 10 and going 6-12-1 ATS. Of the Spurs wins only one has come against a team with a winning record and that happened their last time out defeating the Clippers 107-97. Although San Antonio is 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings they ere a different team then and the Pistons are 5-1 ATS at home against a team with a losing record. Take DETROIT! |

11-29-19 | Hornets v. Pistons -7.5 | 110-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (-) over Hornets- All I really have to say is that the Hornets must be really bad to be such a heavy underdog against a team that has lost twice as many games (6-12) as they have won. Detroit who is 6-11-1 ATS on the year have played better at home going 5-3 SU and ATS. Charlotte is just 3-7 SU on the road but have won the last three meetings in the Motor City but are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games. Take the PISTONS! |

Toronto at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- Here are the defending NBA Champion Raptors once again not getting any respect and they are 13-4 SU this season and a neat 11-6 ATS. Orlando meanwhile is showing us the same old stuff going 7-10 SU and 6-10-1 ATS and return home after a 1-3 road trip. Toronto is on a five-game win streak and come up a measly 4-points and although they are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Orlando. Take the MAGIC! |

Both these clubs have just six wins on the season with the Blazers going 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS while Oklahoma City is 1-6 SU on the road but 10-6 ATS on the year. The Thunder won two regular season games at Portland last season but lost all three in the playoffs. OKC is 7-1 ATS after a straight-up loss. Take the THUNDER! |

L.A. Lakers at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Lakers- The return of Anthony Davis to New Orleans will create a stir in the Crescent City as he spent seven years with the Pelicans and now is part of the team with the best record in the NBA. The Lakers have won their last eight SU while New Orleans has dropped their last two and are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 4-1 ATS as hosts against the Lakers. The Pelicans are better than most give them credit for and the respond tonight. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

New York Knicks at Toronto 7:35 ET Knicks (+) over Raptors- New York once again is in the mist of a losing streak at three and travel to the Great White North to play the defending NBA champions. Toronto took all four meetings last season by an average of 20.5 points but their in a different make-up of this year's squad (no Leonard of course). The Raptors are 7-0 SU at home and 6-1 ATS and will be looking past the Knicks. TakeTORONTO! |

L.A. Lakers at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Lakers- Without question (in my mind) the Lakers are the most improved team in the NBA with LeBron running the point. James is such a dominating player that he now controls the entire tempo and flow of the game. San Antonio is the worst ATS team in the NBA (4-13) and are just 1-7 ATS at home. The Spurs just ended an eight-game losing streak with a win over the Knicks in New York and hopefully for them they are out of their funk. The Lakers are 1-3-1 ATS in the last five meetings and 1-4 ATS in their last 5-games overall. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Minnesota at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Timberwolves- Things were looking so good for the Timberwolves starting the season 7-4 but injuries to key players have seen them lose four of their last five. Minnesota has five different players sidelined or hobbled while the Hawks have been grounded losing 12 of their last 14 SU and ATS. Only Golden State has less wins (3) than Atlanta and New York who have four each. Despite their overall record the Hawks are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games against teams with winning records and the Wolves are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four meetings. Take ATLANTA! |

Brooklyn at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Nets- So, it appears that the Celtics are not the only team that has benefited from a players departure (addition by subtraction) as they are so much better without Kyrie Irving than with him and Brooklyn is 4-1 during his absence. Cleveland is looking to win two straight for just the second time this season and are 10-2 in their last 12 home games against the Nets. Cavaliers leading scorer and rebounder Kevin Love is expected by tonight after missing the second of back-to-back games Saturday. Take CLEVELAND! |

Portland at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Trailblazers- 'What a difference a day makes 24-little hours,' okay maybe a year but the difference between this year's version of the Trailblazers and last season are like night and day. Portland enters this contest on a 3-game losing streak and have won just 4-of-11 on the road. Cleveland who has shown signs of life this season have dropped six straight with four losses coming on the road and the other two against Philly and Miami. Carmelo Anthony being added to the Blazers can only hurt in the long run. Take CLEVELAND! |

Chicago at Charlotte 7:00 ET Bulls over Hornets- Really! The struggling (5-11) Bulls are favored on the road against the squad with a better overall record of 6-10. Chicago is 2-5 SU on the road and yet they are favored here. Charlotte has lost their last three blowing a 13-point fourth quarter lead against Washington. Getting back to the 'number' it becomes more questionable when one realizes the Bulls are 0-4 ATS in their last four meetings in Charlotte and the Hornets are 5-1 ATS on one day's rest.

Boston at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Celtics- The Celtics are off and running posting an 11-3 record including 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 overall and are 6-3 SU on the road. So. It looks like addition by subtraction as Boston appears to be a better team without Kyrie Irving (who is destroying the Nets chances) was defeated by the Clippers in overtime last time out and have dropped 2-of-3 since having their 10-game winning streak ended by Sacramento Sunday. Boston is 1-4-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take DENVER! |

Chicago just ended a 3-game losing streak with a 20-point win over Detroit and are looking for their first pair of consecutive wins this season. The Bulls are 3-5 straight-up at home but are 4-4 ATS when playing as hosts and are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Last year the road team took all three meetings this season it's turn-about.

Houston at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets over Rockets- Houston has won eight straight and the addition of Russell Westbrook has taken nothing away from the league most prolific scored James Harden. Harden has averaged 42.1 during the Rockets winning streak and is averaging 39.2 points overall on the season. Houston went 3-1 against Denver last season and have won 10 of the last 11 meetings outright. The Nuggets are 4-2 SU at home while the Rockets are 3-4 ATS on the road. Take DENVER! |

Orlando at Toronto 7:30 ET Magic (+) over Raptors- Toronto closed their five game road trip with a pair of losses but returned home rebounded with a huge 132-96 win over Charlotte. Orlando is off of a 4-1 home stand and looking to avenge a 104-95 loss to the Raptors back in October but are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings. Toronto usually takes a 'break' after scoring more than 125 points going 2-12 ATS in their next encounter and they are without Kyle Lowry this time.Take ORLANDO! |

Charlotte at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Nets- One of the more disappointing team to date has been the play of the Brooklyn Nets. With all the off-season trades and signing the upstart Nets have fallen upon old habits of mediocrity. Both clubs are coming off of their worst losses of the season and at least the Nets can say Kyrie Irving didn't play. The teams have split their last four meetings but the Nets are 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Tonight it is the Hornets turn. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Oklahoma City at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Thunder (+) over Clippers- Oklahoma City is still looking for their first road win of the season (0-4) although they are 2-2 ATS. Meanwhile, LA is 7-1 SU at home with six straight wins and covers. Saturday, Leonard sat out for the second straight games while Paul George made his debut scoring 37 points in 20 minutes of work. The Clippers scored 150 points winning by 49 (setting a franchise record) against Atlanta Saturday and tonight Leonard and George will team up for the first time. OKC is 6-1 ATS when playing against teams with wining records. Take the THUNDER! |

San Antonio at Dallas 8:35 ET Spurs (+) over Mavericks- If there is a need for any motivation to help stop a 5-game losing streak (longest in 8 years) the Spurs will be up against their Texas rival from the north. San Antonio has been a point-spread nightmare at 3-10 ATS while going 2-3 ATS on the road. Dallas has a new look and improved play has them at 7-5 SU but just 3-3 SU and 1-5 ATS at home. Although the Spurs are 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings but were favored in 10 of those 12. Mavericks are 0-5 ATS after a SU win. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Milwaukee at Chicago 8:05 ET Bulls (+) over Bucks- Boy, It is difficult to make a case for the Bulls as Milwaukee has been so dominating in this series winning the last seven meetings outright including the last four in Chicago. The Bucks enter this fray on a 3-game win streak while the 'baby' Bulls have dropped their last two. Although 3-9 SU Chicago has been presentable at home going 3-3 ATS but still just 2-4 SU. Giannis is seems unstoppable but the Bucks second leading scorer Khris Meddleton (18,5 pts, 5.7 reb) is sidelined. Take the points you may end up using them. Take CHICAGO! |

Golden State at New Orleans 7:00 ET Warriors (+) over Pelicans- These two clubs can form a completely new squad with all the injuries that they have both accumulated. Wins are something neither of these teams have accumulated as they are a combined record of 5-20 with one of the Warriors wins coming against the Pelicans for Golden State last victory. In a battle of the wounded I'll take the points. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Boston at Sacramento 3:00 ET Kings (+) over Celtics- After an opening night loss to the Sixers Boston has reeled off 10 straight wins going 7-2-1 ATS and continue their west coast road trip at Sacramento. The Kings are 4-2 SU in their last six games and have lost the last four meetings against Boston. But, this 'price' is way low for a team with a 10-game winning streak and the other team with their best player Marvin Bagley out. Take the points with SACRAMENTO! |

Toronto at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (-) over Raptors- Dallas dropped the final two legs of their 3-game road trip finishing their trip losing at lowly New York. Toronto has won the last three in the series and seven of eight meetings and yet the NBA Champions are just 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings but this is the first time since February 2015 that the Mavericks have been favored. Dallas is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings and get it done again. Take the MAVERICKS! |

Milwaukee at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bucks- This is the second of back-to-back games for Indiana losing at Houston last night but I don't believe that any of their player is taking the night off as 'work load' management. The key factor here of course is Giannis Antetokounmpo who has 30 or more points and 10 or more rebounds in six straight games. The Bucks will be without second leading scorer Khris Middleton and are 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to Indiana. Take the PACERS! |

Brooklyn at Chicago 6:00 ET Bulls (-) over Nets- I smell a rat! Brooklyn who showed vast improvement last season when out and signed 'Super-star' Kyrie Irving and not only is the world flat but the Nets have been flat this season winning just four of their first 11 games. They are 1-5 SU on the road and 2-4 ATS and 0-7 ATS in their last seven vs. Eastern Conference. Chicago on then other hand is 1-7 ATS vs. the Atlantic. This is the first time that the Bulls have been favored in this series in the past eight games. Take the BULLS! |

Boston at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Celtics- Well, this is something I haven't envisioned and that is the Warriors almost a double-digit underdog at home. With their roster depleted Golden State has fallen into an abyss and have won just two of 12 games and are 1-5 SU and ATS at home. Since dropping their opening game against the Sixers the Celtics have won nine straight going 7-1-1 ATS. Boston who is 6-0 ATS in their last six trips to but will have D'Angelo Russell and forward Draymond Green return. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

Indiana at Houston 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Rockets- Coming off of their win over the LA Clippers (Megabucks winner) Houston is patting themselves on the back for their 'defensive' effort holding the Clips to 93 points (their defensive low for the season). The Rockets have seven wins against teams with a combined 18-46 record and now they play a team with a winning record for just the second time. Following an 0-3 start Indiana has won seven of eight and gets the cash here. Take the PACERS! |

OKC is 6-1 ATS after a loss and are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings against the Sixers. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Dallas at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Mavericks- Of course the storyline here is the return to MSG for their former prize first round pick Kristaps Porzingis who was jettisoned to Dallas after three years with New York. The Knicks at 2-9 have matched their worst start in franchise history and had to hold a press conference just to quell reports that coach David Fitzdale is about to be fired so early into his tenure. It was just six days ago that the Knicks upset the Mavericks in Dallas and I expect most to believe that the line of thought here is that they will seek revenge. But, New York who lost their last two since that win by 39 points knows that they can beat this club again and they just might do it. Take NEW YORK! |

New Orleans has been hit with injuries that can be used as an excuse for their 2-8 SU record. Surprisingly enough the Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and will get the money here as the Clippers struggle with chemistry with George's return. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Miami at Cleveland 6:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Underrated Miami is 7-3 SU and off to their best start since LeBron James' departure and are doing it with a skeleton crew as numerous players are down or out because of injuries and suspensions. This is supposed to be another rebuilding year for Cleveland and they are just 4-6 but they are a more than respectable 6-3-1 ATS while the Heat are 7-3 ATS. New Cavaliers coach John Beilein has his young squad mixed with a few veterans playing together and they are 3-0 ATS in their last three games as well as 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Cleveland.

Coach Gregg Popovich removed his starters five minutes into their loss Saturday against the Celtics and is looking to jump start their offense after losing back-to-back home games. San Antonio is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and are 7-2 ATS in Minnesota. Take the SPURS! |

The Clippers are not only 7-3 SU but ATS as well while Houston is a putrid 3-7 ATS including 1-3 ATS at home. But, the Rockets have won four straight and although they will be without guard Eric Gordon they have enough firepower to make up for his absence. Take HOUSTON! |

Meanwhile, Orlando continues to struggle having lost five of their last six but have had three days of rest but may have an advantage here. The 76ers are just 4-9 ATS when playing the second game of back-to-backs while the Magic are 18-8-1 ATS against the NBA Atlantic and have won 21 of 28 regular season meetings outright in Orlando.

11-12-19 | Blazers v. Kings +2 | Top | 99-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
Portland at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- Let me start my saying there has got to be something different about this Portland club this season and the Vegas 'number' are proving my point daily with the lines in their games. Here is Sacramento who lost their first five games including a loss to these Trailblazers 122-112 but have now won 3-of-4. Portland has won six of the last seven meetings going 5-1-1 ATS and I believe with those stats that this is a 'suckers' price. Another factor, beside Marvin Bradley III being out with injury the Kings lost starting point guard De'Aaron Fox on Monday due to an ankle sprain and yet this price seem way low to me. Take SACRAMENTO! |

L.A. Lakers at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Lakers- There will a contrast to styles tonight in this matchup as the free wheeling and long ball shooting of the Suns will be juxtaposed Lakers set-up and deliberate offense led by point guard LeBron James. Phoenix has had a dramatic turn around this season not only wining six of their nine games outright but they are the best ATS ream in the NBA going 8-1 ATS on the year. Los Angeles may be without power forward Anthony Davis (shoulder) which will hurt along with the possible return of Rajon Rondo who won't be much help. Although the Lakers won 4-of-5 meetings last season but this is a much improved Suns' squad. Take PHOENIX! |

Detroit at Miami 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Heat- Miami who I believe is a bit under-rated are 3-0 both SU and ATS at home and a money making 6-2-1 ATS on the season. Detroit has had a rash of injuries including power forward Blake Griffin, guards Derrick Rose, Reggie Jackson and shooting guard Tim Frazier. Griffin returned last night and Rose is to return tonight. The Pistons are 1-4 SU and 1-3-1 ATS on the road and tonight they surprise Miami. Take the PISTONS! |

Toronto at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers (-) over Raptors- So, this is a bit different, the reigning NBA Champions the Toronto Raptors are a double-digit (for the most part) underdog on the road tonight. Of course this is because of the plus and minus that these two clubs have experienced in the off-season when Kawhi Leonard moved from the 'Great North' to sunny Los Angeles. The Raptors have actually played well without Leonard going 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS to date and have been favored in every meeting (7) since 2015. But, the tide has turned with the off-season move and the Clippers are a huge favorite here and get the cash. Take LOS ANGELES! |

11-09-19 | Rockets v. Bulls +6.5 | 117-94 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Houston at Chicago 8:00 ET Bulls (+) over Astros- Houston without question in my mind is the biggest hoax in the NBA. Now, that they acquired triple-double machine Russell Westbrook added to James Harden they have an offense that can score at a prolific rate. The problem is that the Rockets only play one end of the floor as witnessed by their allowing 121.8 points per game actually being out-scored by their opponents despite having a winning record. The Bulls don't shoot the ball all that well but do play some defense. Houston is 2-6 ATS tis season and might win but and stay under the number here. Take CHICAGO! |

11-09-19 | Mavs v. Grizzlies +3 | Top | 138-122 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Dallas at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas who just lost to the lowly New York Knicks at home last night take their perfect 3-0 road record to Memphis to play the Grizzlies (2-6) another bottom feeder. This brings the Mavericks record to 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 road games. Last season the Grizzlies took the first three meetings until the fourth matchup when Dallas posted a win and are 4-1 ATS in their last five at Dallas. Memphis rookie No. 2 draft pick Ja Morant is off of a season low eight points in a game where his backcourt partner Dillon Brooks failed to make a field goal at Orlando last night. At home things get better. Take MEMPHIS! |

Boston at San Antonio 5:00 ET Spurs over Celtics- Boston started the season at Philadelphia with a loss and have reeled off six straight win including 4-1-1 ATS. San Antonio may not be recognizable from team of the recent past but are as usual formidable at home where they are 4-1 straight-up and have taken down the Celtics 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Add that the Spurs are 16-5 ATS at home against teams with winning records and Boston is 1-5 ATS against teams with winning records. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

Milwaukee at Utah 9:05 ET Jazz (+) over Bucks- MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo has been even more dominating this season than last having posted eight straight double-doubles leading the Bucks to four straight wins after a 2-2 start. Utah has always been a formidable foe for Milwaukee going 25-8 ATS in the last 33 meetings including 15-2 in Salt Lake City. Utah's clamp down defense will once again be the difference, they play it better and are 4-0 SU at home this season. Play the JAZZ! |

Philadelphia at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over 76ers- The 76ers are playing their fourth straight road game on the western tour having lost their last two at Phoenix and Utah after defeating Portland. In two of those contests Joel Embiid served his two-game suspension and he is back while Ben Simmons is lost to a shoulder sprain. Denver took down the Sixers at home last season 126-110 as Nikola Jokic posted 32 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists. Too much for Philly to overcome. Take DENVER! |

11-08-19 | Raptors v. Pelicans +2.5 | 122-104 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 45 m | Show | |
Toronto at New Orleans 8:05 ET Pelicans (+) over Raptors-The defending NBA champion Raptors have moved-on from the defection of Kawhi Leonard and are 5-2 on the season while New Orleans who also lost a key performer (Anthony Davis) has yet to regroup and are 1-6 this season. Toronto is 4-0 at home but has dominated this series on the road going an amazing 15-2 ATS in their last 17 trips to New Orleans. So, with this information I feel this line is way low and looks like an inducement to lay the points. Considering the Pelicans are last in defense allowing an NBA worst 124.3 points per game and commit 16,7 turnovers a game. So, why so a small dog...Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Miami at Phoenix 9:00 ET Heats (+) over Suns- The Suns are hot and the Heat are on the burner. Phoenix has won three straight and are 7-0 ATS on the season. I predict that they won't go undefeated ATS this season and their first ATS loss comes tonight. Miami has won 16 of the last 18 meeting straight-up and are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Phoenix and 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings overall. The Heat as expected fell to the Nuggets in Denver after crushing the Rockets in Miami. Look for a Heat rebound and a win here. Take MIAMI! |

Oklahoma City at San Antonio 8:30 ET Thunder (+) over Spurs- Neither of these squads look anything like clubs of the past as both sides have had radical changes to their roster. Gone for OKC is Russell Westbrook and he's been replaced by veteran Chris Paul at the point and coach Billy Donovan says he sees better balance this season. The Spurs who have dominated this series in the past 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings including 5-0 ATS at home. San Antonio once had pride in their defense but have yet to hold an opponent under 100 points and they are 26th in steals. Take the THUNDER! |

Boston at Charlotte 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- I can say one thing about fading the Celtics, I don't think it's going to be a good idea in the long run. With the addition of Kemba Walker and the revitalization of Gordon Hayward Boston is once again a formidable force in the East. Since dropping their opener to the 76ers the Celtics have reeled off five straight wins while Charlotte has won their last three and has 'covered' their last four. Boston is 12-3-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Both the Clippers and Bucks are considered favorites in their respective conferences and just right games into the season Los Angeles has deiced to 'rest' Leonard for the second time this season. With the reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo ready to play against the Finals MVP but alas there will be no matchup. LA has won 10 of the last 14 meetings including 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings (Playoffs) and 11-5-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings, most before Leonard arrived. Take CLIPPERS! |

Tonight the Bulls travel to Atlanta where the Hawks outscored San Antonio 38-22 in the final period posting a 108-100 win as Trae Young scored 28 of his 29 points in the second half.

Detroit is a banged up crew that is awaiting the season debut of Blake Griffin while Derrick Rose and Reggie Jackson are sidelined. The Pistons have won seven straight meetings including six straight at home. The guards might return soon but what kind of playing shape will they be in. Take NEW YORK! |

OKC has defeated the Magic 14 of their last 16 meetings but the Magic are 6-1 meetings in Oklahoma City and 10-4 ATS in the last 14 overall.

The Cavaliers may be a bit underrated this season with a healthy Kevin Love and Christian Thompson along with a pair of dynamic guards in Darius Garland and Collin Sexton could surprise some this season. Hopefully that surprise continues tonight. The Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last five meetings as hosts and the home team is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take CLEVELAND! |

Would you think as I do, that Brooklyn with their added off season firepower (Kyrie Irving and such) that they should be a stronger favorite over the decimated Pelicans. New Orleans who gutted their squad trading away Anthony Davis and then drafted Zion Williamson who blew out another sneaker and is out for two months. So this 1-5 club with the worst record in the NBA is such a small underdog makes me wonder. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

Now, Dallas takes to the road where they will try and win their third straight without a loss. Cleveland is 2-0 both SU and ATS at home and veteran All-star Kevin Love has had five straight double-doubles to start the season. Take CLEVELAND! |

Chicago at Indiana 5:00 ET Bulls (+) over Pacers- A match of also rans that have already started to play out the string. Indiana opened the year with three straight losses but have rebounded by winning their last two. A pair of wins is enough for these guys (Pacers) although Indiana has had the best of the Bulls when playing as hosts winning nine of the last 12 as hosts but Chicago has taken five of the last seven ATS. Take CHICAGO! |

Philadelphia at Portland 10:00 ET 76ers (+) over Trailblazers- Take a step back and get a good look at this match-up between two of the NBA's better clubs. But, the point is here is Portland coming off of a four-game road trip where they 'covered' every outing, and now they return home against the undefeated 76ers who will be without their best player Joel Embiid. No Embiid, no problem for Philadelphia. They are used to playing without him and the line reflects the Sixers overall strength and seems to short-hand the Blazers at home. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

11-02-19 | Suns v. Grizzlies +3.5 | 114-105 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Memphis 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Suns- Phoenix has opened the season with five straight point spread wins and are 3-2 straight up and that is without center Deandre Ayton who is on a drug suspension. The Suns are off of a huge win (in their eyes) over Golden State while the Grizzlies have had three days to recover from their 120-91 loss to the Lakers. Take MEMPHIS! |

11-02-19 | Nets v. Pistons +2 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Nets- The Pistons opened the season with a road win against Indiana but have dropped four of five since with that lone win coming once against over the Pacers. Detroit is a little 'banged' up still have Andre Drummond who has had six straight triple-doubles and and three 20-20 games along with a reborn Derrick Rose. This is a bit of a time and place selection as the Nets took down the Lakers in Brooklyn last night while the Piston return home after a loss at Chicago. Take DETROIT! |

11-01-19 | Lakers v. Mavs +2 | 119-110 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Lakers- After an opening game loss to the Clippers the Lakers have responded with three straight home wins and covers. With LeBron James at the 'point' the Lakers newly acquired Anthony Davis could emerge as the most dominating player in the NBA as evidenced in his last performance of 40 points and 20 rebounds. Tonight, the Mavericks will present a formidable front line with Luka Donic and Kristaps Porzingis who will play a more physical brand of ball. The Lakers have won the last five meetings between the two including all three last year. Tonight that ends...take DALLAS! |

11-01-19 | Rockets v. Nets +4.5 | Top | 116-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
Houston at Brooklyn 7:00 ET Nets (+) over Rockets- Well, something has to give here as both these clubs are 0-4 ATS while Houston is 3-1 SU and the Nets 1-3. Major additions to each club has changed to face of these clubs as Russell Westbrook was added to the Rockets and Brooklyn added Kyrie Irving and of course Kevin Durant who isn't expected to play this season. Houston is coming off of one of the highest scoring games in NBA history defeating the Wizards 159-158 in regulation no less. The Nets are hungrier than the Rockets and get the win here and are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |

11-01-19 | Bucks v. Magic +4.5 | 123-91 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee who may have the league's best talent in Giannis Antetokounmpo and after last season they will have a target on their back. Orlando's offense is run through their All-star center Nikola Vucevic who averaged 20 points and 12 rebounds last season. Even though the Bucks have won seven of the last 10 meetings they are just 4-9-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings in Orlando. Take the MAGIC! |

10-31-19 | Nuggets v. Pelicans +4 | 107-122 | Win | 100 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Denver at New Orleans 9:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Nuggets- Thoughts of becoming a playoffs team for New Orleans were dashed when No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson when down and a team that traded away their biggest assets now has very little firepower. The Pelicans have yet to win a game and at 0-4 they allow the most points 128.3 per game while Denver's coach Michael Malone is upset with Denver's defense. Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry wants to establish a home court advantage and it must start here. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

L.A. Clippers at Utah 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Clippers- The Clippers are out to show the rest of the league that they are for real and I'm beginning to believe them. Los Angeles went impressive starting the season with a pair of wins and covers against the Lakers and at Golden State, but have split their last two SU and gone 0-2 ATS losing at Phoenix and taking down Charlotte by 15 as a 15.5-point favorite. Utah has is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings and is 2-0 SU at home this season. The Jazz are the leading defensive team in the league and allow just 88 points per game at home. Take UTAH! |

10-30-19 | Blazers v. Thunder +1.5 | 102-99 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Portland at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Trailblazers- Last season these two great guard matchups as thee Thunder's Russell Westbrook and Paul George would pair up against Portland's Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. The Trailblazers are 2-1 SU and 3-0 ATS on the road as this is their four game in five away from home and OKC plays five of six at home and has proved capable defeating Golden State 120-92 at home. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

10-30-19 | Bucks v. Celtics +3 | Top | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Bucks- These two may end up battling each other in the Eastern Conference Finals but as of right now Milwaukee have the bragging rights. The Bucks have been a bully in this series of late going 4-0 ATS in the four meetings but the Celtics had taken four of the previous five meetings. But it was Milwaukee that ousted Boston from the playoffs last year. Of late the Bucks are 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records and are 0-4 against the NBA Atlantic and surrender 118 points per game while Boston holds opponents to 102.7 and they will play defense at home. Take BOSTON! |

10-30-19 | Pacers +3.5 v. Nets | 118-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Indiana at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Pacers (+) over Nets- Indiana has opened the season 0-3 but their losing streak goes back further that that as they have lost seven straight and nine of 10 and are the only winless team in the East. Brooklyn may have Kyrie Irving and he is great but they are becoming aware that he brings plenty of baggage with him. He proved difficult in China ignoring team functions and he has been the focal point of two one-point overtime losses. The Pacers won two-of-three matchups last season including a 114-106 win at Brooklyn. Take INDIANA! |

10-30-19 | Bulls v. Cavs +2.5 | Top | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Chicago at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Bulls- Chicago opened the season with their bags packed and tonight they are playing their fourth game in five on the road winning once at Memphis. Cleveland is 1-2 SU but 2-1 ATS with their win in their lone home game over Indiana as a 4.5-point dog. The Bulls have dominated the series going 28-10 ATS in the last 38 meetings including 20-6 ATS at Cleveland. But, faces have changed and this version of the Bulls is like the gang that 'couldn't shoot straight.' Chicago is last in 3-point shooting an are 26th in overall shooting percentage. Tristan Thompson is healthy after battling injuries the past two seasons has been impressive (19 pts, 12.3 rebound and Kevin Love has 15.7 points and 15.7 rebounds a game. Take CLEVELAND! |

10-29-19 | Hawks +8 v. Heat | Top | 97-112 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
Atlanta at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Hawks- Interesting match-up here as the 2-1 Hawks fly to Miami after a tough 105-103 home loss to the 76ers. The Heat who are 2-1 are expecting the debut of Jimmy Butler who once again is having problems getting on the playing floor missing the first three games because of a birth of a daughter. Miami has averaged 120 in his absence and it can only be a plus (hopefully) with his finally getting playing time. With, Butler ready to play there is always the chance some of the Hawks will be 'rested' in the second of their back-to-back games. Take MIAMI! |

10-28-19 | Nuggets v. Kings +6 | 101-94 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Denver at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Nuggets- I really expected to be 'on' the Kings this season but not this way. Without Marvin Bagley Sacramento is 0-3 he won't return until after Christmas. Denver took all three meetings last year and have won eight of nine in the series. The Kings had just two players score in double figures in their 113-81 loss at Utah Saturday with center Dewayne Dedmon's 11 points being the team high. In that game coach Luke Walton pulled all his starters in the second quarter as it was a second game in back-to-back games. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Philadelphia at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over 76ers- Oh boy, so two games into the season Trae Young declares 'That's what makes big-time players what they are' after his performance against Orlando Sunday. Philadelphia like the Hawks are 2-0 on the season and will be bringing a pair of former Atlanta teammates in All-star Al Horford and Mike Scott. Meanwhile, the 76ers erased an 13-point Piston lead Saturday night with Joel Embiid sidelined. The Hawks had great success against the Sixers last season winning three of four. They turn the trick again here. Take ATLANTA! |
