MREAST NBA FRIDAY SYSTEM SIZZLER!

#701 NEW JERSEY NETS @ #702 INDIANA PACERS 7:00PM EST

PLAY ON #701 NEW JERSEY NETS @ #702 INDIANA PACERS OVER 199.5 -110 FOR 3 UNITS

I have been playing this system that now has over 2,000 games in the database and is hitting an extremely hgh percentage for a one condition system with so many games, and such a long history attached to it. It is one of few systems I play blindly, but this system can easily be trusted as it wins every single year. The system is alive for this game, and the play is a medium sized 3 unit play on the OVER in this one.

NHL

Florida +2.06 over NEW JERSEY (REG) Pinnacle

The Panthers are reeling with just one win in its last 10 games but they’re coming off a strong performance in Columbus in which they deserved a better fate. They’ve performed well on the road all year and they could definitely catch the complacent Devils a little flat here. New Jersey is on a roll with four wins in a row and seven wins in eight games. What makes the Panthers so appealing here, besides the tag, is that the Devils will host the Flyers tomorrow night and these Friday night games have a huge history of upsets. This could be another one. Play: Florida +2.06 (Risking 2 units).

Edmonton +1.38 over ST. LOUIS (REG) Pinnacle

One has to figure the Oilers to be completely jacked up here. Edmonton will conclude its five-game road trip with a chance to make it a sweep and that gives alone gives them huge incentive for this one. The Oilers will return home after this game and will be off until Tuesday so all focus will be on this game. The Oilers are heating up and again, with a chance for a sweep they may very well play its best game of the trip. The Blue Notes are hit and miss. You can get a great game from them one night and a complete reversal the next. They’re coming off a 1-0 win over Detroit but were badly outplayed. The Blues are allowing the opposition way too many good scoring chances and right now these Oiler snipers are feeling it. Play: St. Louis +1.38 (Risking 2 units).

NBA

Golden State +1.72 over CHICAGO Pinnacle

Once again the Bulls offer up no value whatsoever as the chalk. This is a team that really cannot keep pace with the Warriors or anyone else for that matter. They keep getting blown out and no matter how hard they try there’s nothing they can do about it. They have no go-to-guy, they have no inside presence and basically they’re forced to take a ton of low percentage shots. The Warriors get very little respect but this is dangerous team with a slew of good shooters. Despite winning its last game in New Jersey, Anthony Morrow had a bad game in terms of points but there’s little chance of this guy being off two nights in a row. He’s one of the best pure shooters you’ll ever see. Anyway, until the Bulls show us something different, playing against them comes highly recommended. Warriors always come to play and they’re just so much better than this dumpster-fire of a host. Play: Golden State +1.72 (Risking 2 units).

PHOENIX –3 over Orlando Pinnacle

The Suns are very simply a much different team at home than they are on the road. They’re 7-0 at home and just 8-7 on the road. Furthermore, they usually win big at home and in fact, all of its home wins have been by more than the points offered here and most of them have been by double-digits. The Suns are also coming off of a couple of tough game in both Dallas and Lakers and have been off since Tuesday. The Magic are a tough team to be sure, however, they’ll play back-to-back here and its third game in four nights in three different time zones. It might also be worth mentioning that in last night’s loss in Utah, Magic coach Stan Van Gundy approached Rashard Lewis to re-enter the game in the second quarter but Lewis refused to get off the bench. That’s a sign of trouble my friends and when these prima donnas start it could last a long time and it can wreak havoc. Anyway, the situation heavily favors the Suns and with its solid home performances, they’re certainly worth a look tonight. Play: Phoenix –3 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Doc's NBA 12/11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3-Unit Play #701 Take New Jersey/Indiana UNDER 197 1/2 (7 p.m. EST, Friday)
*note this was lowered from a 4-point play due to a 1 ½ point line shift right before release time.
These two teams met once already this season and the total reached 174, and that was with Danny Granger in the lineup for the Pacers. Well, Granger scored a Pacers-high 22 in that game but he is sidelined with injury. We just don’t understand what the oddsmakers are thinking with the last couple of New Jersey totals. This team has given up some points to up-tempo teams lately but they just have a putrid offense that is dead last in the NBA in points per game, field goal percentage and also three-point percentage. The loss of Granger really hurts Indiana offensively and we think this one is just a few points tool high.
4-Unit Play #705 Take Atlanta/Toronto OVER 209 ½ (7 p.m. EST, Friday) After Toronto gave up 145 to Atlanta last week we can understand how the oddsmakers might think this would be a lower scoring game. But to post a total lower than the one that got beat by almost 40 points? That seems ludicrous. We could understand that Toronto might want to buckle down on defense. But they can’t. They totally and completely stink defensively. Atlanta is going to be able to do what they want offensively and this one will be a barnburner. Of course Atlanta won’t get anywhere near 145 but anywhere over 110 should do the trick here and the Raptors give that up on a nightly basis even to some bad offenses. Atlanta is Top 6 in points scored and they are middle of the pack defensively so Toronto should be able to get to the basket tonight as well.
2-Unit Play #716 Take Memphis -2 Over Oklahoma City (8 p.m. EST, Friday) Take a shot at the home favorite tonight since this line is very slim and the Grizzlies have been playing really well lately. These two teams are pretty even in our eyes and we think home court in the NBA is more valuable than the two points that the chalk is laying here tonight and we think Memphis has more consistency right now as they have three solid wins in a row while OKC seems to trade off wins and losses with no pattern or consistency. Should be a good game but we think the home team will pull away in the fourth.
3-Unit Play #713 Take Portland +10 Over Cleveland (8 p.m. EST, Friday) This just seems like a very public line. We know the Blazers are in the midst of a road trip and that they are banged up but this should be a low scoring game and that makes every point more valuable. The Blazers haven’t been more than a 6-point dog all season long and now they are getting double digits? Was Greg Oden that valuable? Cleveland doesn’t seem like the same team as last year and they have already shown vulnerabilities at home. They are just 3-5 ATS as chalk of 10 or more points this season. Think Cleveland gets the win but think this one will be somewhat close we think Portland fights for four quarters.

#726 Tennessee (-) over Middle Tennessee State at 7 PM EST
Tennessee and Middle Tennessee State have met three times since the start of the 2006-07 season and the Volunteers have been in complete control winning all three by an average of 36.7 points per game. In the friendly confines of the Sommet Center in Nashville, the Vols will look to roll the Blue Raiders once again.

Big favorite roles haven't bothered UT a bit lately. In fact, when priced as chalk laying -20 or more, head coach Bruce Pearl's troops have cruised to a nearly perfect 7-1 ATS record. Momentum has worked nicely for the Vols too. When running with four or more days rest in the regular season, the Vols are a profitable 18-8-1 ATS provided they check in off back-to-back double-digit straight up wins.

Dating back to January 8th, 2009, Middle Tennessee State has been in a little bit of a pointspread rut posting a dismal 6-14 ATS record. It certainly won't help that the Blue Raiders aren't playing their best basketball of the season either. In their last two games against UAB and Belmont, MTSU has fallen by scores of 65-64 and 83-71! The Bruins actually shot 59.6 percent from the floor against State. If Middle Tennessee fails to defend UT, the Volunteers will hang 100 plus on them!

Since 2000, MTSU has faced nine teams from the SEC and lost all nine battles by an average of 19.8 points per game. The Volunteers are looking to impress in-state fans outside of Knoxville and they know they can do it with an impressive victory here. Take Tennessee.

Portland Trail Blazers at Cleveland Cavaliers
Bet: Cleveland Cavaliers -9

The Cavs cost us in Houston the other night, but I have to believe they bounce back at home tonight. This team very rarely loses back-to-back games, but such is the case heading into tonight's tilt with Portland. Those losses were on the road in Houston and Memphis, but Cleveland is at home tonight. Their last three home games have been wins by 14, 17, and 16 points. The Blazers have been a team of injuries and internal unrest. That will spell trouble tonight against an extremely motivated bunch led by LeBron James.

The Cavaliers are 4-1 SU & ATS this season when playing off a double-digit ATS loss, including four straight wins in that role. The Cavaliers are also 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600, and 14-4 ATS in their last 18 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. And even with their loss in Houston, Cleveland is still a very profitable 36-17 ATS in their last 53 games following a SU loss.

The Blazers are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings, including 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Cleveland. The Blazers are also 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games as a road underdog of 5 to 10.5 points, and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning record.

I love situations like this, where the line looks too high. A 15-7 team shouldn't be laying 9 points to a 14-9 team. There's a reason for this high line, which will become clear as this game unfolds. I fully expect King James to put on a show tonight on national TV (ESPN), and for the Cavs to play one of their best games of the season. Lay the points with Cleveland.

triple-dime bet 724 Dayton -5.5 (-110) Bodog vs 723 Old Dominion
Analysis:
Play on Dayton at 7:00 ET. What in the world are the oddsmakers thinking here? This is a very good Dayton team laying minimal points against an Old Dominion team that has played just five lined opponents all season and not covered against a single one of them. One of the Flyers two losses came against Top 5 Villanova and that was on a neutral court. They score far too much (82.4 PPG) for the Monarchs modest offensive attack to keep pace and have gotten back senior point guard Lowery, who teammate Devin Searcy called the "LeBron" of the team. One Dayton opponent noted how the team had "multiple weapons on offense: an interior presence, 3-point shooting, penetration, offensive rebounding and transition offense." ODU relies far too heavily on the 6'10" Lee, who is soft. The Monarchs are just 11-25 ATS when coming off a win by 20+ points and 0 for 6 vs. the number on the road after scoring 65 points or less in BB games. Dayton is our #1 College Basketball Game of the Week.

WUNDERDOG

Game: Atlanta at Toronto (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Atlanta -3.5 (-110)

The Atlanta Hawks took a step up a year ago and made the playoffs. They have now elevated off that season to a 15-6 mark through 21 games this year. This team is a real player in the Eastern Conference and already own road wins at Dallas, Portland and Boston. The Raptors play no defense and their last three here vs. winning teams as a home dog, they haven't come close and I don't expect them to tonight either. The Hawks are riding a 22-10-1 ATS mark as a favorite which improves to 8-2 as a favorite of 4.5 or less. The Raptors’ home-dog report card is amongst the worst in the league at 6-19-1 ATS in their last 26. This is a dog with no bite, Atlanta gets this one.

[Mr. IWS]

DETROIT RED WINGS -170

For a number of different reasons I believe the value in this matchup is on the large home favorite:

Anaheim has been struggling defensively lately, allowing at least three goals in each game while losing five of six. The conference-worst Ducks have also been outscored 29-16 during their franchise-record eight-game road losing streak (0-5-3) - a bad omen for a club opening a four game road trip that will play 10 of its next 12 games away from home.

It comes as no surprise to learn that Anaheim is 0-5 its last five on the road. It's also 1-4 its last five vs. the Wings and 1-6 its last seven at Joe Louis.

On the other side of the rink: The Red Wings enter Friday night’s home game trying to avoid their fourth loss in five games; however, Detroit enjoyed one of its best performances this season against the Ducks on Nov. 14 at Joe Louis Arena.

Henrik Zetterberg, who has a team-leading 30 points, had a hat trick and two assists in the 7-4 victory, and Cleary added a goal and two assists. It stands as both the Red Wings’ second-best scoring output of the season and the most goals allowed by the Ducks in 2009-10.

Detroit is 4-2 this season after a division game.

Bottom line: This is a very big opportunity for the WINGS to start to their season around; look for the Ducks to get overwhelmed in this one!

Orlando is coming off of a very disappointing 2nd half in last night's game against Utah. The Magic held a huge lead at halftime, only to get dominated by the Jazz in the 2nd half. Now Orlando has to go on the road again the very next night and play a Phoenix team that will be very motivated for this game. The Suns have lost four out of their last five games, with their four losses coming on the road. Phoenix is well rested coming into this game as well. They had played seven of their last ten games on the road, but they have had two days off since their last game. This game will also be nationally televised on ESPN, so the Suns will be up for this game. Look for Phoenix to come out and get a big home win against a road weary Magic team.

NEW YORK KNICKS +7

We have made some money going against this New Orleans club as of late and I am going to go against them once more tonight as they welcome in the Knicks. Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni has seemingly settled on his 8 man rotation and the team is now responding and performing well. The Knicks are an impressive 4-1 both straight up and against the number in their last 5 outings. I look for a solid effort from New York again tonight against a Hornets team I just don't hold in real high regard. Take the Knicks.

SAN ANTONIO SPURS -7.5

We'd like to believe in the Bobcats here, but when we took them 10 days ago at home vs. Boston, they really let us down by getting blown out 108-90. Sure, we came back and cashed them as our Underdog of the Week this past Tuesday, winning outright against the Nuggets, but they were catching Denver in a favorable situation that night (3rd road game in four nights). The Spurs have owned this head to head series, winning nine of 10 meetings, covering the spread in eight of them. That includes a 14-point home win last season. As we've noted before, Charlotte is an excellent defensive club, but they simply lack the scoring punch to compete at a high level. They are also 1-8 SU on the road this season, mainly because they average just 83.2 PPG away from home this season. The Spurs are also scoring more than usual this year, averaging 104.8 PPG at home. Take San Antonio.

Dominic Fazzini Friday's play 15 Dime -- Vanderbilt (minus points vs. Western Kentucky)

VANDERBILT

The Commodores return all five starters from last season's 19-12 team, and have started the season 6-2, losing 67-58 to No. 19 Cincinnati in Hawaii on Nov. 23 and 79-68 at Illinois on Tuesday. They also have quality victories over Arizona, Missouri and DePaul this season, so they have been well-tested so far.

Vanderbilt is averaging 75.1 ppg, and has three players scoring at least 13 points per game. Sophomore swingman Jeffery Taylor averages 15 ppg to lead the team, while senior guard Jermaine Beal is averaging 13.4 ppg and has provided consistent outside scoring.

Where the Commodores really have the advantage, however, is with junior center A.J. Ogilvy. The 6-foot-11 Ogilvy started slowly this season after averaging 17 and 15.4 ppg, respectively, his first two seasons, but he has averaged 18 points over his last four games to push his season average up to 13.3 ppg. The Hilltoppers don't have anyone of his size or talent level to contain him in the paint.

Western Kentucky is 1-6 ATS this season, and depends greatly on senior guard A.J. Slaughter, who leads the team in scoring at 14.9 ppg. If Slaughter, who likely will be defended by the tough-nosed Beal, doesn't have a huge game, the Hilltoppers probably will get crushed.

Tonight's game is in Nashville, which greatly benefits Vanderbilt, but it is technically on a neutral court. The Commodores are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games at neutral sites and 8-3 ATS when favored on a neutral court. Vanderbilt also has beaten the Hilltoppers 10 consecutive times, dating to the 1962-63 season. Look for the beat to go on tonight. Take the Commodores to cover the points.

4 Unit Play. #723. Dominion +5.5 over Dayton (Friday @ 7pm est).

3-1 This Week (Montana over Loyola Marymount Yesterday)
63% in Nov College Ball: $1980; 62% College Ball 09'.
4 Straight Winning Weeks of College Ball. Yet to have a losing week this season.

Old Dominion is a talented team that I think is finally starting to gel. This team nearly beat Missouri away from losing by just five points, and has crushed their last two opponents by 20+ points as they are getting used to their system far more since the start of the season. No doubt Dayton is a good team as they come off a big win over George Mason, but I like the matchups here in favor of ODU as with Gerald Lee, Darius James and Kent Bazemore, this team should have enough talent to stay in this game and possibly win it outright. Certainly, we will take the 5.5 points as well bear in mind the Flyers of Dayton are 0-4 ATS against the Colonial Athletic Association, 1-5 ATS overall and 3-8 ATS following a straight up win. We always like dogs who can win outright and it is no different for us once again as we take another dog in ODU that we believe can win outright or stay within the number similar to Harvard plus the points the other night at BC who won outright for us.

4 Unit Play. #719. Take the Minnesota TWolves +15.5 over the Los Angeles Lakers (Friday @ 10:30pm est). The Minnesota Timberwolves have quietly covered five straight and two of their three wins this year come in the last five games. This team comes off a nice cover against New Orleans at home and I'm glad I took them as they nearly won that game outright the other night, covered against Toronto on the road as a nice dog, defeated Utah at home as a 7.5 outright dog and beat Denver as an Outright dog as well. I suspect the Lakers who come off an impressive win over Utah will likely put another strong effort today. But, bear in mind that the Lakers were only up by 2 points on the Jazz going into the fourth quarter and a 6 point fourth quarter is why they dominated the Jazz on the final end of the scoreboard. I suspect that the Timberwolves won't score six points in the fourth quarter, and given their improve play of plate with their young guys playing for 48 minutes, I like the Twolves here to hang tough and get inside the number. The Twolves are 4-0 ATS after a straight up loss thus far, 4-0 ATS as a road underdog of late and 6-0 ATS as an Underdog overall.

Good luck,

Reply
8:00pm ET / New York Knicks @ New Orleans
Play on: NEW YORK KNICKS

New York has handled the Hornets as of late... KNICKS come in with a PERFECT 4-0 ATS record in the last 4 meetings covering the last two seasons. They were an Underdog in ALL four of those meetings, and won all four in OUTRIGHT fashion!

Yes, the Hornets have been winning games lately (3-0 SU L3 / 7-3 SU L10)... but they HAVEN'T BEEN covering. In their current 3-game winning streak, they've lost the CASH in ALL three of em. A quick query of our Playbook database tells us to FADE these teams in their next game... against opponents from the opposite conference.
0-6 ATS last 4 seasons: All NBA non-conference favorites playing off 3 straight wins in a row... but 3 ATS losses in a row (Hornets).

Now let's take a look at some current 2009 Systems that ALSO indicate that the DOG is the play tonight.
14-5 ATS in 2009: All NBA Underdogs playing off an Underdog win (KNICKS)... versus any opponent BB SU wins (Hornets). Against non-conference foes, these DOGS have gone 6-1 ATS.

10-3 ATS in 2009: All NBA road teams (favs OR dogs) playing with 3+ Days rest (KNICKS). If these visitors have a current W/L percentage of .334 or less (like the KNICKS), the numbers improve to a PERFECT 5-0 ATS.

1-6 ATS last 4 weeks: All NBA favorites of 9 < points with 1 Day rest (Hornets)... when playing of BB SU wins.

Analysis:

*** NBA 3* BOOKIE BET *** (Confirmed "BIG SLICK BET"...by Bookie Bill)

I know that Bill likes to wait until at least 6:30pm est...and even 7:00pm est, to see if any other "Slicks" are coming in on the other side...And if that is ever the case, you have my word that I would let you know every time...

But I don't see any reason to hold back on this Bet, because it's one that I felt had a lot of "Value" when compared to my own Ratings/Lines...I know tha€t he really wants to get -4, which is why he's willing to wait...And I think we should too, but with that said...I didn't think there's any need for me to hold this back another 45min...VR

Oaklahoma City Thunder
vs. Memphis Grizzlies

The Seattle/Oklahoma City franchise has dominated the series against Memphis, going 37-12 since 1996. The Thunder have had a surprisingly successful season so far, and with F Kevin Durant emerging as a top 7 NBA player and one of the best scorers in the league, the Thunder have a very bright future ahead of them. Durant will be too much for the Grizzlies, as the Thunder cover for the outright win.

PLAY: Oklahoma City Thunder+2 / -110 / 5 Units

Charlotte Bobcats
vs. San Antonio Spurs

Charlotte is on a two game win streak that closed out their home stand. Coming into the Spurs’ house will be a feature a much different atmosphere. Look for the Spurs who are finally healthy to get it rolling tonight and cover to start their own winning streak.

PLAY: San Antonio Spurs-7.5 / -110 / 5 Units
