Bank shots: NBA betting news and notes
Each week, we look back on the NBA betting scene and give you the best –and worst – basketball bets, as well as some spots to keep an eye on with the upcoming schedule.
For the week of Jan. 6-12.
Hottest ATS team
New Orleans Hornets (3-0, SU, 3-0 ATS)
Despite their horrible SU record (11-25), the Hornets have been a decent bet this season (19-17 ATS). New Orleans has covered in four straight contests, including all three this past week against San Antonio, Houston and Minnesota. The Hornets hit the road for three games this week with stops in New York, Philadelphia and Boston, but that doesn’t mean bettors should fade them. New Orleans boasts an impressive 11-6 ATS mark away from home this season.
Coldest ATS team
Sacramento Kings (0-3 SU, 0-3 ATS)
Tyreke Evans and Marcus Thornton returned from injuries this past week, but it hasn’t been enough to change Sacramento’s fortunes. The Kings are dealing with all kinds of off-court distractions like the potential sale and relocation of the team and that has translated into a string of poor performances on the court. Sacramento will have a chance to rebound against lowly Cleveland and Washington early this week.
Best over team
Orlando Magic (1-2 SU, 3-0 over/under)
The Magic have been the hottest over bet in the Association for the past three weeks. Orlando is riding a 10-game over streak into Monday’s contest in Washington. The Magic then enjoy a three-game homestand where they’ll welcome Indiana, Charlotte and Dallas. Orlando is 11-6-2 O/U at home.
Best under team
Indiana Pacers (3-0 SU, 0-3 over/under)
Indiana has been a fixture on Bank Shots week in and week out in this category for a reason. The Pacers lead the league in points allowed per game (89.1), opponent field goal percentage (41.3%) and opponent 3-point percentage (31.3%). Indiana is riding a seven-game under streak into Sunday’s tilt with Brooklyn and boasts the best under mark in the league at 13-23-1 O/U.
Scouting the schedule
- The Philadelphia 76ers enjoy 11 of their next 12 games at the friendly confines of the Wells ***** Center. Bettors note: The Sixers boast an impressive 14-4 over/under mark at home this season.
- The Cleveland Cavaliers are in the midst of a five-game west coast road swing. The Cavs are surprisingly 13-9 ATS on the road, compared to a 4-12 mark at home.
- The Utah Jazz wrapped up a three-game road trip with a win and cover at Detroit Saturday and now enter a stretch where they’ll play seven of their next eight at home. The Jazz are 10-5 ATS at EnergySolutions Arena.
NCAAB game of the day: Louisville at UConn
Louisville at Connecticut (+6)
No. 4 Louisville is on an impressive run and seeks its 11th consecutive victory when it visits Connecticut in Hartford on Monday. The Cardinals are one of three unbeaten teams in Big East play and are off to the program’s best start since opening 16-1 during the 2003-04 campaign. Louisville coach Rick Pitino is expecting a fierce battle with the Huskies, who notched an impressive road victory at Notre Dame on Saturday under first-year coach Kevin Ollie. “They are a terrific team,” Pitino said. “I’m really happy for them because I love their coach. He is a class young man and I knew he would do a great job.” UConn has won two consecutive games and is 8-0 on its home courts.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN.
ABOUT LOUISVILLE (15-1, 3-0 Big East): Sophomore forward Chane Behanan was a surprise participant in the victory over South Florida and grabbed 12 rebounds while scoring seven points. It was feared Behanan would miss three or four games after he sprained his left ankle on Jan. 7 but he missed just one outing. “My whole foot was swollen for three days and there’s still pain,” Behanan said. “But it’s something I could tolerate and won’t let dictate us getting out of the Top 5 in the country. I can handle the pain.” Behanan is third on the Cardinals in scoring (11.1) and second in rebounding (7.4). Junior guard Russ Smith averages a team-best 18.7 points, senior point guard Peyton Siva contributes 11.9 points and a team-best 5.8 assists and junior center Gorgui Dieng checks in at 9.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per outing.
ABOUT CONNECTICUT (12-3, 2-1 Big East): Junior forward Tyler Olander delivered a stunning performance with a career-high 16 points in the win over Notre Dame. Olander entered the contest with a 4.6 scoring average and hit 8-of-9 shots in the best effort of his career. “It’s definitely very rewarding,” said Olander, now averaging 5.3 points. “Things weren’t really working out for me at the beginning of the season. I stuck with it and kept working hard and got into the gym. It feels good to finally have hard work paying off.” Junior guard Shabazz Napier leads the Huskies with a 17.5 scoring average. Sophomore guard Ryan Boatright (16.1), sophomore forward DeAndre Daniels (11 points) and freshman guard Omar Calhoun (10.1) also average in double digits.
TRENDS:
* Cardinals are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games.
* Huskies are 6-1 ATS in their last seven vs. Big East foes.
* Cardinals are 6-1 ATS in their last seven Monday games.
* Cardinals are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
TIP-INS:
1. Louisville leads the series 7-6 and routed UConn 80-59 in last season’s lone meeting.
2. Siva had 17 points in Saturday’s win over South Florida to become the 64th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points. He has 1,004.
3. UConn is shooting just 32.5 percent from 3-point range with Napier (40.3) the only player shooting better than 40 percent.
NBA's fastest and slowest offensive teams
Handicapping NBA totals without using offensive pace is like trying to build a shed with just a glue gun – you’re missing a few important tools there bub.
Offensive pace, a stat made famous by former ESPN NBA analyst and current Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Memphis Grizzlies John Hollinger, is the average number of possessions a team has per game.
For NBA total bettors, possessions mean points and points are the name of the game capping the over/under. Here’s a look at the three teams with the highest offensive pace and the three with the lowest, and how books are dealing with those teams’ totals.
Stats prior to action on Sunday, Jan. 12
Fastest offensive pace
Houston Rockets - 99.3 (22-16 over/under)
Houston has rocket fuel in their Nike’s with James Harden and Jeremy Lin headline a high-octane backcourt. The Rockets are second in the league in scoring (105.4) but have also given up a ton of points, allowing 103.3 ppg – 28th in the league. That’s an old fashion recipe for overs.
Los Angeles Lakers – 97.5 (19-16-1 over/under)
The Lakers pace is averaging 103.1 points, with a push from offensively-minded head coach Mike D’Antoni. With Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard on the shelf, L.A.’s has gone to a smaller, quicker lineup which could see its possession go up even further.
San Antonio Spurs/Denver Nuggets – 96.8 (19-20-0 over/under / 19-19-0 over/under)
The Spurs inclusion to this list may be a surprise to some, what with their aging core of superstars. San Antonio is making the most of all those possessions, averaging 104.8 points on 48.3 percent shooting a night – fourth best in the NBA. Denver is cut from a similar cloth, scoring 102 points on 46.4 percent shooting – fifth in the league.
Slowest offensive pace
New Orleans Hornets – 90.2 (18-18-0 over/under)
The Hornets only average 92 points a night but have seen a slight boost in scoring since the return of guard Eric Gordon. However, books may have adjusted a little too much for Gordon’s return. New Orleans slow-motion pace has gone 3-4 over/under in those games.
Brooklyn Nets – 90.4 (15-20-1 over/under)
The offensive pace has picked up since the Nets canned Avery Jones and handed the keys to P.J. Carlesimo. In the eight games since the coaching change, Brooklyn is averaging more than 102 points per game, posting a 5-3 over/under count. On the year, the Nets average just 96.2 points.
Indiana Pacers – 92.4 (13-23-1 over/under)
No team has a more misleading nickname than the Pacers. Indiana’s pace isn’t anywhere near Indy 500 speeds, making it one of the best under plays in the NBA. The Pacers are among the bottom dwellers in scoring (91.1) and haven’t been able to make up for the loss of Danny Granger, who won’t be back until February – maybe.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
**PREFERRED
Louisville over Connecticut* by 17
If UConn wins and/or covers its two games Saturday and here, we’ll be 0-2 in those
games. But we wanted to be anti-UConn from the git-go in Big East season when they
were playing anyone decent, so here we are.
LOUISVILLE, 71-54.
Kansas* over Baylor by 15
NBA
*Washington over Orlando by 3
Washington is playing for only the third time in eight days. The Wizards defeated the
Magic at home, 105-97, on Dec. 28 breaking Orlando’s 12-game streak of keeping
opponents under triple digits. There’s a chance the Wizards could have John Wall back
by this time.
WASHINGTON 101-98.
**PREFERRED
*Boston over Charlotte by 18
The Celtics can’t afford not to be focused given their recent troubles. Boston has struggled in the open court against athletic opponents. That won’t be the case here. The return of Avery Bradley provides Boston with one of its best defenders. Despite getting generous odds, the Bobcats still were only 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games
through Jan. 5.
BOSTON 110-92.
Atlanta over *Chicago by 3
Carlos Booze and Joakim Noah are nice players, but they are trumped by Al Horford
and multi-facet Josh Smith. The Hawks were 15-8 ATS in their last 23 road contests
through the first week of January.
ATLANTA 97-94.
*Memphis over Los Angeles Clippers by 4
The Grizzlies are playing for the third time in four nights, but were 11-4 ATS versus
opponents with a winning record and have revenge for losing to the Clippers in seven
games during the playoffs last season.
MEMPHIS 102-98.
*Dallas over Minnesota by 5
The Mavericks have a double revenge motive after losing by eight at home to
Minnesota and in overtime on the road.
DALLAS 103-98.
Miami over *Utah by 5
The Jazz are not to be trifled with in Salt Lake City where they had covered nine of
their first 14 this season. However, they are playing the defending champions and this
is their first game back from a three-game trip. The Heat rolled past the Jazz in Miami,
105-89, on Dec. 22 despite not having Chris Bosh.
MIAMI 106-101.
**PREFERRED
Oklahoma City over *Phoenix by 16
The Suns were on pace to have the third-worst record in franchise history ranking near
the bottom in the major defensive categories, but without the offense to make up for
it. This also is Phoenix’s fifth game in seven days and first following a four-game road
trip that ended Saturday night. The Thunder beat the Suns for the seventh time in a
row, burying them, 114-96, on Dec. 31 in Oklahoma City. The Suns have no answer
for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
OKLAHOMA CITY 114-98.
*Sacramento over Cleveland by 5
The Kings have been missing Tyreke Evans (check status) and DeMarcus Cousins
remains a talented head case. Cleveland, though, is no bargain playing its second road
game in 48 hours and going 3-7 ATS when meeting a foe with a losing mark.
SACRAMENTO 101-96.
