3 Unit Play. Take #12 Minnesota -150 over Florida (8:05p.m., Tuesday January 2)
Earlier in the season the Florida Panthers beat the Minnesota Wild so when we saw this game being played in the Twin Cities we knew revenge will be served. Last night this number was the Wild -135 and we knew we were going to have action but wow talk about a huge money move as the Wild has moved 20 cents. I knew the Panthers are hot right now but their winning streak has been at home and tonight they start a 4 game road trip and I see the Wild taking this game. Florida is 3-8 in their last 11 Western Conference opponents and the Wild are 7-1 in their last 8 home games

2-Unit Play. Take #510 L.A. Clippers (-5.5) over Memphis (10:30 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 2)

The Clippers are looking much better now that Blake Griffin is back. The Grizz are finishing up their road trip and they won't have the stamina necessary to get a win versus an improving Clippers squad. LA is 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win and 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. The Grizzlies on the other hand are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win. Lay the points in this one as the Clips win easy.

4 Unit Play. Take #506 Phoenix -1.5 over Atlanta (9:05p.m., Tuesday January 2)
Both teams are at the bottom of their divisions and conferences but tonight someone has to win. The Hawks shockingly have won 3 out 4 games but those 3 wins were at home the Hawks continue to struggle on the road going 3-15 this season. The Suns have split their last 4 home games and if they play like they did against Memphis at home I see Phoenix getting the 'W' and covering this small number on their home court. Atlanta is 1-7 ATS against Pacific division teams and the Suns are 4-0 ATS following a SU loss.

**NEW YORK (+5) over San Antonio

Rotation #504 – 4:35 pm Pacific

New York is an average team as long as Kristaps Porzingis is playing and the Spurs’ average game rating this season is +1.5 points. The Spurs are an overrated team because the market assumes that they’ll be much better with Kawhi Leonard back, and will probably be true eventually that is not the case now. San Antonio is just 2-4 straight up and 2-4 ATS when Leonard plays and he has a plus-minus of -5 points so far. The Spurs have also been significant worse on the road this season and I eagerly took 5 points with Detroit at home in the Spurs’ most recent game (they lost by 14 to the Pistons). There is similar value in this game. Even if I assume that San Antonio is 4 points better than average, instead of their season rating of +1.5 points, I’d still get Spurs by just 1 point in this game and the Spurs’ recent 12 point home win over the Knicks is a bit misleading given their 45% 3-point shooting and 88% foul shooting in that game. I’ll take New York in a 2-Star Best Bet at +5 points and for 1-Star down to +4 points.


**Charlotte (-4) over SACRAMENTO

Rotation #507 – 7:05 pm Pacific

Charlotte has had a disappointing season so far but the Hornets’ 13-23 record is misleading given that they’ve only been outscored by an average of 2.0 points per game. Sacramento, by contrast, is only one game worse in win-loss record at 12-24 but the Kings have been outscored by an average of 8.7 points per game this season and they are going to be worse than that with Frank Mason injured. Mason has done a really good job leading the second team and the Kings have been outscored by just 1.0 points per 48 minutes in the 539 minutes when Mason has been on the court this season. Early in the season when Mason wasn’t in the rotation the Kings were absolutely horrible and I think that’s likely to be the case again until Mason can return. I favor Charlotte by 7 ½ points in this game and I’ll take Charlotte in a 2-Star Best Bet at -5 points or less.

**L.A. CLIPPERS (-5.5) over Memphis

Rotation #510 – 7:35 pm Pacific

I’ve been riding the Clippers lately, as I have them pegged as an underrated team based on my player-specific ratings. LAC is 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games and the Clippers are clearly a better than average team right now. The Grizzlies have played a little better lately but I still rate Memphis at about 4 points worse than an average team and my ratings favor LAC by 9 points with current rotations. I’ll play the Clippers in a 2-Star Best Bet at -6 points or less.
