Nets +1½ -115 at Bovada

Nets (+) over Knicks- There was once a time when New York City was considered the hotbed of basketball both on the professional and college level. But, there has been a dramatic change in what we get from basketball out of the 'City' now-a-days. Got are the college power houses CCNY, LIU and St. Johns along with the New York Knicks and the Russian owned Brooklyn Nets. New York who lost last night at Detroit are just 3-9 in the second of back-to-back contests and are 11-23 straight-up on the road. Brooklyn meanwhile is just 7-24 straight—up at home but are 29-32 ATS on the year. Take the NETS!

Pacers -5 -108 at 5Dimes

Five of the last six meetings in this series have gone under the posted total. The under is also 4-0 in the Heat’s last four road games. This team has had trouble scoring on the road and they have failed to reach the century mark in two of their last three on the road. This Pacers defense is playing very well lately and we think the Heat are going to have a tough time on offense today, especially with Dragic likely to miss this game for the Heat. Indiana has won and covered in four straight meetings at home in this series and they are an excellent home team overall this season and we expect them to get the job done in a big way Sunday and the under should be an easy cash as well.

15* NBA Sunday No-Doubt Rout on Indiana Pacers -5

The Indiana Pacers have been a tremendous home team this season. They are 22-10 on their home court and will be happy to be back home here after playing six of their previous seven games on the road.

This is a tough spot for the Miami Heat, who will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a win over Toronto at home yesterday. And now they could be without their best player in Goran Dragic, who suffered an eye injury against the Raptors and is doubtful to play tonight.

Home-court advantage has been huge in this series between Indiana and Miami. Indeed, the home team is a perfect 9-0 SU in the last nine meetings. The home team has also gone 8-1 ATS in those nine contests.

Indiana is 10-1 ATS in Sunday home games over the past three seasons, outscoring their opponents by 12.5 points per game on average. The Heat are 0-5 ATS in their last five Sunday games. The Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a loss by more than 10 points. These three trends combine for a 20-1 system backing Indiana. Take the Pacers Sunday.

Knicks -112 at 5Dimes

Even though this is a rivalry game, the Nets may not have their full focus. That's because this is the Nets' first home game since All-Star break ended. Brooklyn has been on the road for its past eight games. The Nets have been terrible when they've been at home going 0-16 SU, 3-13 ATS. The Knicks are just 3-5 since the All-Star break and off a bad 112-92 road loss to the Pistons on Saturday. But the Knicks still hold playoff hopes and are superior to the Nets with the two best players on the court in Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis. The Knicks are 2-0 this season versus the Nets winning by five points at Brooklyn and by 15 at home. The Knicks have covered six of the last eight in the series.

Rockets -5 -110 at Bovada

At 9:05 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets over Cleveland. The Cavaliers will visit the Toyota Center on Sunday to take on James Harden & Co. But it's a brutal scheduling spot for Cleveland. The Cavs will be unrested, and also playing their third game in four nights. Meanwhile, Houston will be rested, and playing with revenge from an eight-point loss in Cleveland. The Rockets are 17-7 ATS in the last 24 meetings vs. Cleveland, and also 11-2 SU/8-5 ATS their last 13 vs. unrested foes. And they fall into 232-144 and 129-69 ATS revenge systems of mine. Meanwhile, Cleveland is 0-9 SU/ATS on the road when playing without rest since April 6, 2016. I expect the Rockets to blow out the Cavs. Take Houston.

Take Houston (#878)

This is not rocket science or brain surgery – it’s simple. The Cavaliers have 21 losses this season. They are 0-21 ATS in defeat – not once all year have they covered a pointspread in a game they didn’t win in SU fashion. As underdogs in any game on any floor, the Cavs are just 2-7 for the season ATS. This is not a game I expect Cleveland to win.

Playing on the second night of back-2-backs, the Cavs are just 4-8 SU, 3-9 ATS, consistently failing in this role. Tyrone Lue didn’t give his starters much of a break in their win at Orlando last night – Kyrie Irving played 36 minutes, LeBron James was on the floor for 38. The Cavs have four additional games on tap between now and next Sunday. LeBron ranks behind only Toronto’s Kyle Lowry in terms of minutes played per game this season. No surprise here if Coach Lue makes sure his superstars get ample rest here, if they suit up at all.

Houston is a legitimate championship contender and this is very much a statement game for the rested, ready home favorite. Expect Houston to push the pace against the tired Cavs, forcing Lue to use his bench early and often. The Rockets have lost SU on this floor as -10 favorites against the Heat, -9 favorites against the Pacers and -8.5 point favorites against the Jazz in recent weeks. But when Houston is facing an opponent that catches their interest – a revenge meeting or a statement game – and they are ‘bet-on’ in every sense of the word. No surprise here if this one turns into a rout! Take the Rockets.

Blazers -2 -101 at 5Dimes

The very young Phoenix Suns are playing some decent basketball of late, but still have a long way to go for respectiability status in the NBA. Meanwhile, the visiting Portland Trailblazers, despite of having their 4 game losing streak snapped last night in OT by a 125-124 score vs a excellent Washington Wizards side, are now in top form. Note: The shot that sunk the Blazers last night, showed a video replay on the arena scoreboard which suggested the Wizards Morris stepped out of bounds before hitting the game-winner with four-tenths of a second remaining. However, the play was not reviewable by rule.With that said, and now with a chip on their shoulders I'm betting after being robbed and competing at a high level vs the Wizards last night, this Blazers team comes out firing on all cylinders.

NBA Road favorites like the Blazers - with a winning percentage of between 40-49% on the season, on Sunday games are 32-8 ATS L/40 for a 80% conversion rates for bettors.

Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest.Trail Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Pacific.
