SPORTS WAGERS

NEW ORLEANS +4/+150 over Orlando

The Hornets would have hard time finding a more suitable spot than this one to snap their ugly nine-game losing streak. A revenge-oriented Magic squad played last night at home and blew a 27-point second half lead to the Celtics before losing by eight. They also lost at Boston on Monday by 31 points. In between that pair, Orlando beat the Pacers by 19 in Indiana's first game back from a West Coast trip. The Magic are now 12-6 on the year, including a 6-3 mark on the road and that misleading record is likely going to pay off for us here. Orlando has not had a difficult schedule, 18 games into the season. Out of 30 teams, the Magic's schedule difficulty currently ranks 27th. By contrast the Hornets have had the 4th toughest schedule in the league. Additionally, Orlando will play its eighth game in 11 nights, fourth game in five nights and tail end of back-to-backs. The Hornets have not only had one of the more difficult schedules but they've competed in almost all of them. They've covered four straight against Dallas, Houston, San Antonio and Ok City. We're not going to sugar coat this and suggest that the Hornets are a strong club. They have a long way to go. What we are suggesting is that New Orleans will play hard tonight against a demoralized and exhausted visitor. That combination produces the upset. Play: New Orleans +150 (Risking 1 unit). Play New Orleans +4 (Risking 1.09 units to win 1).

New Jersey +5/+175 over CLEVELAND

The Cavaliers have been a fairly live pooch in many of their games this season but being a home favorite against an improving Nets team is not warranted. We need only to look at the Cavs’ last game as evidence. They were a +3½-point dog at home against the Knicks and now they're 8½-points higher against a team whose talent level and record is certainly on par with the Knicks. In other words, if Cleveland were a 3½-point dog to the Knicks, how can they now be a -3½-point favorite the very next game against the Nets? Sure, the Cavs won by 10 but it wasn't because they played well. The Knicks played a sloppy and uninspired game while turning the ball over an alarming 25 times, yet the game was close throughout. Had Cleveland played that way against any other team they would've been buried. The Nets are coming on. They're off a solid 7-point OT win in Philly. New Jersey's last three losses have come against the Bulls, Thunder and Clippers. They're beating the teams they're supposed to and losses to the elite teams are making them stronger. Deron Williams is currently playing as well as any PG in the game. Lastly, the Cavs won that game against the Knicks despite some sloppy and poor play, providing a false sense of security. Sometimes its better to lose to address those issues. With back-to-back games on deck against the Celtics, the Cavaliers bad habits catch up to them here. Play: New Jersey +175 (Risking 1 unit). Play New Jersey +5 (Risking 1.07 units to win 1).

DETROIT +6/+210 over Atlanta

The question of why we keep playing teams like the Nets, Raptors, Hornets and other lesser teams arises often. The answer is that we're almost always getting an inflated number on less popular teams and that adds to their appeal and value. The Pistons fall into the same category. Detroit is close to being relevant. They're a mere 4-15 overall but they have a recent home win over Portland and a tightly contested 3-point loss to the Heat. Prior to the season, speculation was that if Greg Munroe or Rodney Stuckey break out, the Pistons could surprise. Munroe has definitely broken out and Stuckey is on the horizon. The Hawks are 13-6 but unlike the Pistons, they could be heading south. The bench is a major weakness. They've been able to mask that flaw thus far but this schedule does a short-benched team few favors and it's going to bite the Hawks in the butt. Atlanta has not seen the Pistons yet this season and that works in our favor because what the Hawks do see is a 4-15 record and more important games upcoming. Detroit works hard and plays hard and that will pay off in this one against an unsuspecting visitor. Play: Detroit +210 (Risking 1 unit). Play: Detroit +6 (Risking 1.05 units to win 1).

Note: A big battle in the NBA East Division tips off in Miami where the Heat plays host the Knicks at American Airlines Arena Friday night. New York enters in a slumber off a disappointing loss as road chalk at Cleveland with a 4-14 ATS record this year. If there is one venue that's been known to wake the Knicks up, though, its here where New York is 16-5-1 ATS in games in which the Heat enters off a win, including 6-0 SU and ATS when the Knicks arrive off a loss of six or more points. With Miami eyeing up a bigger showdown Sunday with Chicago, look for history to rear its head here once again tonight. Take the points. We recommend a 1-unit play on New York. Thank you and good luck as always.

Marc's Top Key Play on Friday' NBA card is a beauty, supported with a winning angle inside the game that is 100% ATS PERFECT since 1990. Put it on your ticket now and win good again with Marc tonight!
