7-Unit Play. #884. Take Milwaukee -4.5 over Green Bay (Friday @ 8pm est)
Note, we go for the Golden Week with 7 Straight Winning Selections on the Docket Today. 1 Play Today as we look for 4 straight winning days on the docket as we are at a new season high and very happy as we have already gotten near last year's College Ball Total of +$4500 before February 1st when we make our big stretch run. As per today's selection, Milwaukee has double-revenge from losing to Green Bay last year in two contests and likely gets that revenge done today. You have a Milwaukee team that lost 79-63 and 81-70 last year and certainly has not forgotten those losses. Note, that this Milwaukee team was a top 200 team that went 9-7 in conference play to close out the season on a very strong 9-4 conference run after a 0-3 start to the conference season. Milwaukee comes off a very close loss to Oakland in their last game by a few points and looks to rebound from that loss and has traditionally done well on the rebound. This team is now a top 120 team in the country and to their credit has done very well and faces a Green Bay team that has not beat a top 120 team all year. Milwaukee likely takes out a lot of frustration today and picks up a big win.
7-Unit Play. #864. Take Utah Jazz -8.5 over Minnesota (Friday @ 9:05pm est) We roll with Utah here as they hook up with Minnesota once again this season. We took Utah recently as they routed Charlotte at home if you remember as they were -5.5 favorites and they won by 29 points so the fact they are -7.5 point favorites here does not really bother us. In fact, we nearly made this a 8-unit selection but Minnesota has been playing decent and comes off an impressive effort against Oklahoma City. But, that was because OKC had a look ahead itself and did not care about the Minnesota game as much. Hence, we roll with a 7-unit selection here for Utah as this is a team that looks to get into the 8th spot or at least the playoff picture and they are putting forth a strong effort of late. This is a team that is 20-25 and understands that it has a realistic chance at the playoffs if they can pull to .500 and to do that these are the games they need to win. Sure, Minnesota has potential and bite but so does every team in the league. Utah cannot keep this young core forever and the time is now for this team to rise. They routed Charlotte, nearly beat Detroit, routed Brooklyn on the road, nearly beat New York on the road losing in overtime and nearly beat Sacramento (who is playing well) and beat Miami recently. This team lost by 10 points back in December to Minnesota, has solid revenge and is looking for their 21st win and will catch a Minnesota team that will be riding high from their near victory over Oklahoma City. Minnesota comes into this game in a sleep walk and will run into a motivated Utah team likely going to rout them. We have Utah by double-digits here.
3 Unit Play. Take #871 VCU -2 over Davidson (6:00p.m., Friday January 29)
This play is all on the defense that the Davidson Wildcats play day-in and day-out. VCU can push the ball up the court quickly and their backcourt will trouble the defense of the Wildcats and in the second half VCU takes control of this game. Last year in the Conference tournament VCU beat Davidson 93-73 not in Davidson (my bad) but with VCU laying the small number on the road I believe the

8-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 208.0 Cleveland at Detroit (7:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29)
1-Unit Play. Take #853 Cleveland (-4.5) over Detroit (7:30 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29)
Detroit has shown a knack for stepping its game up in its biggest home games. Against Chicago and Golden State a couple weeks ago they rang up 101 (212 total) and 113 (208 total), respectively. Against the Spurs it was 109-99 (208 total). Back in mid-December they hosted the Pacers and Clippers and they scored 118 (214 total) and 103 (208 total), respectively. Throw in 116 against the Rockets (221 total) and the Pistons have been at their best in the biggest games. And you know they are going to be up for Cleveland coming to town. The Cavaliers, on the other hand, have been on a pretty nice scoring rush since Tyron Lue took over. You see this in sports all the time. If there is a midseason coaching change the front office always replaces the departed coach with a guy that is kind of the opposite. Lue has already said he wants the Cavs to run and gun a lot more than they have. And they have scored 115, 114 and 115 points in three of their last four games. Cleveland is pretty well rested, having been at home for over a week. This is just their second game in four days and both teams are coming back from an off day. Detroit actually won the first matchup in this series and you know that the Cavs will want revenge here. But the Pistons won't lie down and will be a pretty live dog. They scored 104 points in the first meeting and if they can get over 99 here - something they've done in 11 of their last 12 games - then I think we're golden here. The Cavs have averaged 104 points per game in their last seven road games, and that includes some big efforts at Washington (122) and Minnesota (121). I think both teams are going to get to 100 here. I think that this will be a close game but one that favors the revenge-minded roadie. The road team has won seven of the last 10 meetings. And although the 'over' is just 3-5 in the last eight meetings I think we're dealing with two different teams than what we've seen the past few years. The 'under' is actually an amazing 46-22 in the last 68 in this series. So we're bucking a wild trend. But everything about this setup tells me that this is going to be a big night in Detroit and The Palace will be rocking. Both teams are going to come to play, both are going to get over 100, and this one is going to beat this total.
3-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 190.5 Miami at Milwaukee (8 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29)
I think there's a little value here with Miami because they've been so low-scoring and so awful against the total lately. But the main reason for that is that they've been decimated by injuries. However, they are getting healthy and may even get Goran Dragic back today. Miami shot really well, 54.2 percent, against Brooklyn and put up 102 points. I think that will carry over against a Bucks team that doesn't play much defense. The Bucks are coming off one of their worst offensive games of the season, being held to just 83 points at Memphis. I think they will bounce back. They have only been held to 89 or fewer points nine times this year. After the previous eight flat offensive performances they have averaged 102 points per game and gotten to 100 six times. Also, Milwaukee has had a brutal schedule the past month. They have played just five home games versus a whopping 12 road games dating back to Dec. 27 (and 16 of 23 on the road since Dec. 13). But Milwaukee has played a lot of high-scoring home games in that span, going 6-1 against the total at home.
Again, the Heat are 15-30 against the total this year and 6-15 against the total on the road. That's ridiculously bad. At some point the only way to play this team is to hit the 'over'. Miami has actually lost five straight to the Bucks - including once already this month - and you know the Heat are going to be motivated to wrap up this road trip with a win. This is another game where all of the trends point to consistent 'under' cashes in this series. But I'm going the other way here and I think we see some points.
1-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 205.5 Charlotte at Portland (9 p.m., Friday, Jan. 29)
Carpe diem. Good luck.
5 Unit Play. Take #853 Cleveland -4.5 over Detroit (7:35 p.m., Friday, January 29)
Cleveland Cavaliers look for their 3rd straight win under new head coach T. Lue and tonight in Auburn Hills, Michigan I see the Cavs taking this road win. Cavs shared the ball Wednesday night against Phoenix racking up 34 assists and yes I know the Suns are not the Pistons but I see the Cavs playing lights out tonight in Motown. These two teams met in Detroit once this year and the Pistons won 104-99 but I believe this Cavs team is a better focus team and with a new head coach I see the Cavs winning this game and we could see a high scoring game tonight. Detroit is 1-3-1 ATS following a SU win of 10 points or more and the Cavs are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record
