*Washington over Chicago by 10
The Wizards have been coming on going 11-8 ATS in their last 19 games heading into
their matchup against the Bulls this past Monday. The Wizards own a backcourt edge
with John Wall and Bradley Beal.
WASHINGTON 100-90.
Miami over *Philadelphia by 10
The Heat won't be taking the 76ers lightly after Philadelphia stunned them, 114-110,
early in the season. Michael Carter Williams had 22 points, 12 assists and nine steals
in that Philly victory. Miami was 6-3 ATS the past nine times when taking on foes
with a losing home mark through this past Tuesday.
MIAMI 112-102.
*Toronto over Minnesota by 3
They have no stars anymore with Rudy Gay traded and they play in the worst division.
But Toronto has been one of the better under-the-radar clubs going 9-0 ATS
through last Sunday.
TORONTO 109-106.
Los Angeles Clippers over *New York by 5
Even with Chris Paul out, the Clippers are in better shape at point guard than the
Knicks with Darren Collison. This is only the Clippers' second game in a week, while
New York is playing without rest.
LA CLIPPERS 109-104.
*Orlando over Charlotte by 1
The teams combined for just 175 points during their last meeting won by Orlando,
92-83. The Bobcats ranked third defensively through the first week of this month,
while Orlando's offense has gone in the tank. The Magic had failed to break the 83-
point barrier in four of their last seven through last Sunday.
ORLANDO 88-87.
Los Angeles Lakers over *Boston by 2
From Bill Russell, Larry Bird, Jerry West and Magic Johnson to Vitor Faverani and
Kendall Marshall this great rivalry has sunk with the Lakers buried by injuries and the
Celtics undergoing massive rebuilding. Boston was 4-7-1 ATS its last 12 games
through last Saturday.
LA LAKERS 100-98.
*Detroit over Utah by 3
The Pistons ranked third-from-the-bottom in defensive field goal percentage and had
failed to cover six of the last seven times when playing an opponent with a losing
record.
DETROIT 103-100.
***BEST BET
*Memphis over Sacramento by 18
After a slow start and adjusting to life without Marc Gasol, the resurgent Grizzlies
have covered eight of their last 10 through the second week of this month. They were
ranking sixth in fewest points per game, getting strong bench play and a career season
from point guard Mike Conley. Sacramento is playing its third road game in four days.
MEMPHIS 104-86.
*San Antonio over Portland by 4
Portland has been stumbling since bolting out to an NBA-best 24-5 start. The Trail
Blazers' weak interior defense is vulnerable to Tim Duncan. The Spurs, though, have
not been a good home play failing to cover in eight of their last 12 at AT&T Center
through last Saturday.
SAN ANTONIO 104-100.
*Phoenix over Dallas by 4
The Mavericks will be without one of their few good defenders if Shawn Marion
remains out. The Suns owned the best point spread mark in the NBA through the first
week of January covering 72 percent of their games.
PHOENIX 106-102.
*Denver over Cleveland by 7
Versatile Luol Deng makes Cleveland a better team and gives the Cavaliers a second
scoring option to go with Kyrie Irving. However, this is the Cavaliers' fifth of five
straight road contests that began last Friday. Cleveland opened its road swing having
failed to cover in 12 of its first 17 away matchups.
DENVER 107-100.
*Oklahoma City over Golden State by 3
Oklahoma City had to play at Houston on Thursday while Golden State is playing
for just the second time in seven days and hasn't been on the road for nine days.
Golden State had reached triple digits in 14 of its last 19 games through this past
Tuesday.
OKLAHOMA CITY 112-109.
Wright State* over Wisconsin-GB by 6
Last season, Wright swept the Gee Bees, winning 64-53 here and 70-68 in overtime
at Green Bay. The visitors enter with a double-revenge mojo, but Green Bay turned it
over 18 times in this building a year ago (to only 12 for Wright). Wright State is a
sneaky little team that gets more than its share of turnovers on defense, and on offense emphasizes ball security and spreads the scoring around.
WRIGHT STATE, 69-63.
Bradley* over Southern Illinois by 2
Bradley is a dreaded “9 assists per game” teams, scoring only 65 ppg and hitting less
than 30% of their three-pointers (FYI: On three-pointers, 40% is very good, 35% is
average). The Salukis rival Bradley for offensive futility: 68 ppg, 29.5% on treys. But
overall, they are shooting 47% from the field. Dropping in class from road games at
Indiana State and Wichita State, to home vs. SIU is a nice break for Bradley.
BRADLEY, 62-60.
