05-11-23 | Nuggets v. Suns -3 | 125-100 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NUGGETS/SUNS SIDE Phoenix is facing elimination following a 118-102 loss in Denver Tuesday night. The Nuggets are averaging 112.6 points per game on the road, well below their 118.7 ppg average at home. With their backs against the wall, I expect a solid defensive outing from the Suns and this total looks more than a couple of points too high to me. In addition to the under, I also like the Suns to win and cover. Home-court advantage has been huge throughout the series, and I don't see why it wouldn't be the case here again, especially with the Suns in desperation mode. 8* PLAY ON PHOENIX SUNS. |

05-09-23 | 76ers v. Celtics -7.5 | 115-103 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 57 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SIXERS/CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Sixers are the Celtics are coming into Game 5 tied at 2-2, which must be rather disappointing for Boston who've been favored in each game of the series, even in Philly. I expect them to bounce back with a win here after dropping Game 4 in overtime. Celtics are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games. Celtics are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 76ers are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 8* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |

05-07-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. 76ers | Top | 115-116 | Loss | -107 | 16 h 12 m | Show |
CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - MIKE'S 10* MAJOR WAGER The Celtics dropped the opener of this series, but they've bounced back with a pair of impressive wins. Philadelphia is a good team, but it really lit a fire in the Celtics by winning Game 1 and I expect another comfortable Boston win here. Celtics are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Celtics are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Celtics are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
05-06-23 | Knicks v. Heat -3.5 | 86-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show | |
MIKE'S KNICKS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Miami is in control of the series after splitting the first two games in New York. Now the Heat are at home where they are 30-15 SU on the season, and Jimmy Butler is expected to be back on the hardwood after missing their Game 2 loss. While the Knicks have a decent road record, I expect the Heat to get the win and cover here. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |
|||||||
05-04-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -5.5 | Top | 100-127 | Win | 100 | 12 h 19 m | Show |
MIKE'S LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers won the opener of the series behind big play from AD. I expect the Warriors to make adjustments and contain him better here, and we should see a much better defensive performance from Golden State as they look to snap back from the loss. Warriors are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Lakers are 3-9-1 ATS following a win as a road underdog, they are also 10-3 to the under in that spot and the under is 7-2 in Warriors last 9 games following an ATS loss. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |
|||||||
05-03-23 | 76ers +10.5 v. Celtics | Top | 87-121 | Loss | -115 | 15 h 30 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/CELTICS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Philly stole Game 1, so now we'll see Boston storm back with a blowout win in Game 2, right? Not so fast IMO. The Celtic have struggled to cover big spreads all season long and the Sixers have looked really sharp here in the playoffs, even with Embiid missing some games. I don't see Philly winning outright again, but this is too many points for Boston to cover. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS. |
|||||||
05-02-23 | Lakers v. Warriors -4 | Top | 117-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 25 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers defeated Memphis in six games in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The Warriors needed seven games to get past the Kings, but they did not have the homecourt advantage in that series (which they will have here against the Lakeshow). The Warriors may have a poor road record this season, but they are 40-18-1 ATS in their last 59 home games and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. This is a series where I could easily see the home team winning every game and I expect Golden State to run away with this one. 10* PLAY ON GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS. |

05-02-23 | Heat v. Knicks -6.5 | 105-111 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The New York Knickerbockers got their backs against the wall as they can ill afford to lose the first two games of the series home at Madison Square Garden. Heat star Jimmy Butler is listed as doubtful after rolling his ankle in Miami's Game 1 win. Heat are 10-28-1 ATS in their last 39 games following an ATS win. Knicks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS loss and 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 home games. Heat are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 8* PLAY ON NEW YORK KNICKS. |

05-01-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -4 | 87-97 | Win | 100 | 17 h 26 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Denver dominated Game 1 of their Western Conference semi-final series against Phoenix, and I do not see why that wouldn't be the case again here in Game 2. Sure, the Suns are tough to beat off a loss and they're bound to make some adjustments, but they do not have the bench to compete with this Nuggets team. Nuggets are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
04-30-23 | Heat v. Knicks -4.5 | 108-101 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
MIKE'S HEAT/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Both the Knicks and the Heat won their Round 1 series as underdogs, but I like the Knicks here in the opener of this Eastern Conference semi-finals matchup. The Knicks owned Miami during the regtular season, winning three of four straight up while also covering the spread in those three games. Knicks are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS win. Knicks are 25-9-1 ATS in their last 35 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Heat are 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 games following a straight up win. Heat are 9-28-1 ATS in their last 38 games following an ATS win. 8* PLAY ON NEW YORK KNICKS. |

04-29-23 | Suns v. Nuggets -3 | 107-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This will no doubt be an amazing series between two great teams, but I'll gladly back Denver at this number in Game 1 of the series. Phoenix has the better starting five (probably), but they sacrificed a lot of depth when they traded for Kevin Durant, and it will be tough for them to adjust to the altitude in Denver. Suns are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in a position to close out the series at home following a 116-99 loss in Memphis a couple of nigths ago. They've been a step ahead of the Grizzlies for most of the series, and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss (4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points). The Grizzlies are 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 10* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES LAKERS. |

04-27-23 | Celtics -6.5 v. Hawks | Top | 128-120 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
MIKE'S CELTICS/HAWKS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* MAJOR WAGER I expect the Celtics to go off and close out the series following an upset loss home at TD Garden. They've covered the spread in each game they've on in this series, and they are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Hawks are 20-44 ATS in their last 64 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-38 ATS in their last 55 games following an ATS win. 10* PLAY ON BOSTON CELTICS. |
|||||||
04-26-23 | Lakers v. Grizzlies -4 | 99-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Grizzlies need to win out after losing three of the first four games of the series. They lost Game 4 in LA in OT, but now they're back home in Memphis where they are a lot better. The Grizzlies have been plagued by slow starts, but with their backs against the wall, I expect them to come out on fire tonight. 8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |
|||||||
04-25-23 | Wolves v. Nuggets -9.5 | 109-112 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WOLVES/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Denver Nuggets failed to complete the sweep Sunday as Minnesota hung in there and managed to squeeze out a win in overtime. Now the Nuggets are back home where they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and they are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. I don't see the No. 1 seed in the West dropping another game in this series, and while this is a large spread to cover I expect them to get it done. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |
|||||||
04-24-23 | Grizzlies +4.5 v. Lakers | 111-117 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
MIKE'S GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Grizzlies came out flat as a pancake on Saturday, but came back strong and almost made a game of it in the fourth quarter. I expect them to show a lot better focus here and I would not be surprised if Memphis wins in a rout. 8* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-24-23 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show |
MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Bucks are back under pressure after losing Game 3 of the series. They bounced back with a superb effort after dropping the opener of the series, and I expect that to be the case again tonight. Bucks are 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 Conference Quarterfinals games. Bucks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 games following an ATS win. Heat are 16-34-2 ATS in their last 52 games following a straight up win. Heat are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S NUGGETS/WOLVES NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Denver Nuggets are going for the sweep, and I expect them to get the job done. They've dominated the first three games of the series, and I do not see why this game would be any different. Nuggets are 24-7-1 ATS in the last 32 meetings in Minnesota. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 8* PLAY ON DENVER NUGGETS. |

NBA GAME OF THE WEEK - 10* CELTICS/HAWKS MAJOR WAGER The Atlanta Hawks won 130-122 on Friday, but the Celtics are still holding a 2-1 lead in the series and I think they'll set themselves up to win the series in five games with a win tonight. Celtics are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Hawks are 20-43 ATS in their last 63 games following a straight up win. Hawks are 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games following an ATS win.

04-23-23 | Cavs +2.5 v. Knicks | 93-102 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CAVS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Cavs are in a precarious situation after losing two of the first three games of the series. They bounced back from a loss in Game 1, and I think they'll snap back with a win here again after losing Game 3. Cavaliers are 8-3-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Cavaliers are 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games following an ATS loss. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |

MIKE'S 10* GRIZZLIES/LAKERS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Lakers are in control of the series after splitting two games in Memphis, but I think the Grizzlies have a great chance of winning this one outright. Ja Morant is by the looks of it a game-time decision after missing Wednesday's Game 2 win, but no Morant, no problem as the Grizzlies have proven time and time again that they can win even without their superstar. 10* PLAY ON MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES. |

04-22-23 | Bucks -4.5 v. Heat | 99-121 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 42 m | Show | |
MIKE'S BUCKS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Heat took Game 1 of the series, but Milwaukee bounced back with a 138-122 route that was even more lopsided than the final score would suggest. I expect the Bucks to steamroll Miami through the rest of the series, starting with a big win tonight. Bucks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Heat are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 8* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

04-21-23 | Cavs +2 v. Knicks | 79-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 55 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CAVS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Cavs need a win on the road to take control of the series again after splitting the first two games home in Cleveland. They dominated the Knicks in Game 2, and I hold them as a much better team than NY. Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 2 days rest. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/NETS NBA ATS TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets did not stand a chance in either of the first two games of the series, and I don't think much will change just because they're at home here in Game 3 of the series. Nets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. 10* PLAY ON PHILADELPHIA 76ERS.

NBA GAME OF THE YEAR - MIKE'S HEAT/BUCKS MAJOR WAGER This looks like a great spot to back the Bucks following a humbling 130-117 loss in the opener of this best-of-seven series. The Heat have struggled with consistency all season, and they are 7-27-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo left Game 1 late in the first quarter due to a lower-back/tailbone injury, and he is listed as doubtful for Game 2, but I still like the Bucks to bounce back with a big win. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S 10* KNICKS/CAVS NBA GAME OF THE MONTH I love the Cavs to snap back with a win here after getting outplayed in the opener of the best-of-seven series. The Knicks will be satisfied to return back to NY with a win and I don't see them being able to match the Cavs intensity and urgency. 10* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |

MIKE'S NETS/SIXERS ATS BOOKIE BREAKER The Philadelphia 76ers won Game 1 of the series by 20 points, and I don't see how Brooklyn can keep this one close either. 76ers are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 home games. 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games.

MIKE'S 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Bucks are the No. 1 seed in the East and here they'll face a Miami team that needed a second chance to get through the play-in tournament. The Heat are 6-27-1 ATS in their last 34 games following an ATS win while the Bucks are 13-4-1 ATS in their last 18 Conference Quarterfinals games. Milwaukee rested MVP finalist Giannis Antetokounmpo in the final three games of the regular season and I expect the Bucks to set the tone for a sweep with a blowout win here in Game 1 of the series. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S KNICKS/CAVS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This could turn into an interesting series, but I think the Cavs will set the tone with a big win at home here in Game 1. Cleveland has been playing with a playoff-like intensity on the defensive end all season long and enters the playoffs with the No. 1 scoring-defense in the league. 8* PLAY ON CLEVELAND CAVALIERS. |

MIKE'S 10* THUNDER/WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Thunder are scrappy, and one must wonder how the Wolves will react after blowing a big lead to the Lakers to eventually lose in OT. Sure, the Wolves have had an extra day of rest, but they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Thunder are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Minnesota. 10* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. |

MIKE'S BULLS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Miami gets a second chance after losing to the Bulls in round one of the play-in tournament. Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler both had bad games and apart from Kyle Lowry, the rest of the Heat bench contributed only four points. I expect a big game from the Heat tonight while Chicago might be feeling a bit too good about themselves after coming from behind to beat the Raptors in Toronto. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |

MIKE'S HAWKS/HEAT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Miami is a superior team to the Hawks who rely on Trae Young way too much. The Hawks did well against the spread during the regular season, but now when it really matters they do not have the depth to compete with a team like the Heat. 8* PLAY ON MIAMI HEAT. |

04-09-23 | Warriors v. Blazers +17 | 157-101 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Same reasoning as when we won with the Blazers as an underdog last night. The Blazers have not been winning games with their young lineup, but they're competing and covering spreads. The Warriors need a win and a Clippers loss to clinch the No. 5 seed in the West, but their motivation to win gives the bookmakers a reason to shade the line as squares will still line up to back the Warriors. no matter the number. Warriors are 17-38-1 ATS in their last 56 road games. 8* PLAY ON PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS. |

04-08-23 | Blazers +16.5 v. Clippers | 125-136 | Win | 100 | 14 h 24 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Blazers have not been winning games with their young lineup, but they're competing and covering spreads. The Clippers can finish as high as the fifth seed by winning the last two games, but their motivation to win gives the bookmakers a reason to shade the line as squares will still line up to back the Clippers. no matter the number. Trail Blazers are 3-0 ATS in their last three and I think their young guns will keep fighting and keep this relatively close. 8* PLAY ON PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS. |

The Bucks are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games following an ATS loss and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. They're 1.5 games behind Boston for the No. 1 seed in the East and I think they'll snap back with a big game tonight. 10* PLAY ON MILWAUKEE BUCKS. |

MIKE'S SUNS/THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Suns are coming off four straight wins while the Thunder are 0-6 ATS in their last six games, but I expect a strong effort from an undervalued OKC side here. The Thunder are getting more points than they should due to recency bias and public perception. Thunder are 33-9 ATS in their last 42 Sunday games and the Suns are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Oklahoma City. 8* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. |

MIKE'S 10* JAZZ/SPURS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Jazz still have a chance to make the play-in tournament, but after four straight losses there's virtually no margin for error. A date with the Spurs could be just what the doctor ordered to get back to their winning ways. Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home. Jazz are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Spurs are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

They'll face a Bulls team that will play on 0 days rest after defeating the Lakers 118-108 in this building yesterday. The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

MIKE'S 10* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to fade the Wolves who are coming off an upset win at Golden State last night. While the Timberwolves are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest, note that they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win and here they'll face a Kings team that has been playing very well since the All-Star break.

MIKE'S 10* NETS/MAGIC NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Nets snapped a five-game skid with a 129-100 win at Miami last night. They'll be playing on no rest here in Orlando Sunday night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to compete and get the win. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Nets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.

MIKE'S CREIGHTON/SAN DIEGO STATE CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Creighton has scored 85 and 86 points in their last two games, but now they'll face a very different defense than Baylor and Princeton. San Diego State has allowed 55.8 ppg over its last five games and they held the No. 1 seed Alabama to 64 points in the last round. 8* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO STATE. |

MIKE'S MAVS/HORNETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Hornets defeated the Mavs 117-109 in Dallas a couple of nights ago. Now the Mavericks are asked to cover a double-digit spread at Charlotte and the way they've played lately I would not be surprised if they lost this one ouright as well. The trade for Kyrie Irving has not played out the way Dallas would have hoped for at all, and the Mavericks are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 7-22-1 ATS in their last 30 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* PLAY ON CHARLOTTE HORNETS. |

The Pels are coming off a 19-point win over Charlotte but they are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points, 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 7-22 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 8* PLAY ON LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS |

MIKE'S SAN DIEGO STATE/ALABAMA BOOKIE BREAKER Alabama is the No. 1 overall seed in the nation, but I think the Aztecs will put them to the test here. San Diego State has held five of its last six opponents to 57 points or fewer and The Tide are at risk of underestimating their opponent here after cruising through their first two games of the tournament. Aztecs are 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Aztecs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games.

MIKE'S 10* SIXERS/BULLS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a great spot to back the Sixers to avenge a 109-105 OT loss to the Bulls home in Philly a couple of days ago. The Sixers came into that game riding an eight-game winning streak (6-2 ATS) and the Bulls are only 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

OKC has won seven of its last nine straight up and the Thunder are 18-8-1 ATS as underdogs of five points or more while the Clippers are 13-14 ATS when giving five points or more. 10* PLAY ON OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER. |

This will be the third meeting of the season.

MWC TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET This looks like a good spot to fade the San Jose State Spartans following their OT upset win against Nevada on Thursday. San Diego State meanwhile might've received a bit of a wake up call as eighth-seeded Colorado State took the Aztecs to the wire yesterday and I expect them to come out all guns blazing here. The Aztecs won the only meeting against the Spartans this season, 72-51 on Jan. 28 in San Diego. Aztecs are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

They'll also play on no rest after defeating the Clippers 128-127 at home last night, but playing at home again will of course be an advantage and the Kings are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. 8* PLAY ON SACRAMENTO KINGS. |

MIKE'S 10* KINGS/THUNDER NBA GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Sacramento Kings have come out of the All-Star break on fire, scoring 300+ points over two games. The Thunder are coming off a pair of losses at Utah and Phoenix, and I'm not sure if returning home will give them big enough of a boost against a Kings team that is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Additionally, the Kings are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* PLAY ON SACRAMENTO KINGS. |

10* MAGIC/RAPTORS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to fade the Magic who are coming off an upset win at Chicago Monday night. Orlando is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 2-7 ATS in the last 9 matchups with the Raptors in Toronto. The Raptors are 4-1 SU in their last game but failed to impress in a 119-118 win against Detroit on Sunday, but I expect a big game here. This will be the Raptors fourth straight home game. They are 9-2 SU and 7-4 ATS since the start of last season in their fourth straight game at Scotiabank Arena. Raptors are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. 10* PLAY ON TORONTO RAPTORS. |

MAVS/KINGS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER We won with the Mavs against the Kings Friday night, and I like them to win again here in the second leg of the back-to-back set. This was yesterday's analysis, and the same points are still valid: "The Mavs are only 11-17 SU away from home on the season, but they are coming off back-to-back road wins at Utah and LA Clippers. The Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Kings return home from a seven-game road trip and they are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record." I'm not too concerned about the revenge factor and I'm happy to back Dallas again. 8* PLAY ON DALLAS MAVERICKS. |

The Wizards have a big rest advantage as they've had two days off since their win over Charlotte Wednesday night. Pacers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. Pacers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* PLAY ON WASHINGTON WIZARDS. |

02-10-23 | Jazz +8 v. Raptors | 122-116 | Win | 100 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
JAZZ/RAPTORS SIDE I expect a solid effort from the Jazz here following three straight home losses. In their last game, the Jazz took a 143-118 beating by the Timberwolves. The Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The Raptors are coming off a 112-98 win over the Spurs but they are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. I also like the under as Utah will be looking to step it up on the defensive end after giving up 143 points to Minnesota. Under is 6-2 in Jazz last 8 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. 8* PLAY ON UTAH JAZZ. |
