Chip's FREE NBA Winner
Sacramento at Cleveland 7:30 ET
Cavaliers (+) over Kings- I know what I've seen out of the Kins and I love it and what I've seen from Cleveland is a team scrapping every night trying to keep away from being the leagues' worst. Although the Cavaliers have just five wins they are 12-12 ATS and the Kings are better at 7-5 ATS on the road and 8-3 ATS in Cleveland. But, NBA's BEST is Chip's 3-Pak of Best Bets get it NOW! Don't be afraid here...take CLEVELAND!
Fp: home court advantage is the only advantage and it wont be enough as the lakers look to best the spurs for a second time this week! Making la money line my nba free pick!

Game of the Night - Golden State at Milwaukee (PK'em, 240), ESPN, 9:35 ET
The Warriors still won’t have Draymond Green, so we’re not going to get a chance to see MVP candidate Giannis Antetokounmpo deal with the best team in basketball’s top defender. That doesn’t mean Golden State doesn’t want this game against the Bucks (16-7 SU, 12-11 ATS) more badly than it has wanted to win any individual contest it has suited up for in this young season.
Head coach Steve Kerr won’t have to say much as his two-time defending champions take the floor for the first time ever at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum, the franchise’s new downtown arena. Although the Warriors (17-9 SU, 12-14 ATS) opened a season-long five-game road trip in Toronto against the team with the NBA’s best record, Stephen Curry was held out for an extra few days of rest. That potential Finals preview will take place in Oakland next Wednesday and will likely include Green, who is nearing closer to a return from a toe injury. DeMarcus Cousins is practicing too and may make an appearance before Christmas, which would definitely be much earlier than I expected we’d see him make his Warriors debut.
Golden State’s team is in flux but that doesn’t mean Friday night’s clash with the Bucks isn’t personal. The final leg of the road trip is the one that the group has been pointing toward, a task made easier by the fact their old friends the Cavs are in shambles.
It’s probably killing Green not to play since regular-season games like tonight’s don’t come around often when you’ve won three titles in four years and already own the single-season wins record. However, most opponents don’t come into Oakland and figuratively throw their feet on the furniture while tagging up the walls and desecrating the locker room.
The Bucks handed the Warriors their first home loss in their final season at Oracle Arena.
Milwaukee now owns consecutive victories there after posting a 134-111 rout of the Warriors on Nov. 8 snapped their eight-game winning streak. The Bucks hung a 41-point third quarter on the champs, dominating the start of the second half the way Golden State typically does. Stephen Curry left with an adductor strain that would cost him weeks. Kerr said his team came out with “mindless intent,” hurting themselves with foul trouble. They were out-rebounded 46-38. The 134 points Golden State surrendered were the most the team has given up since Game 4 of the 2017 Finals.
The Bucks had lost eight of nine against the Warriors from Jan. 2014-18 before beating them last March and this time last month and will be looking to become the second Eastern Conference team to sweep Golden State since 2014, following Indiana’s lead from last season. The Central Division leaders bounced back form a 136-134 upset loss to the Knicks over the weekend by absolutely crushing second-place Detroit 115-92 on Wednesday, but the real news out of that one is that shooting guard Khris Middleton was apparently benched.
Middleton is having a fantastic season that will put him in the conversation for a spot as an All-Star reserve, averaging 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4 assists. He knocked down a game-winner to help close out November with a win over the Bulls but was benched due to a lack of effort and played just 19 minutes in the loss to New York.
After a film session where Budenholzer pointed out why Middleton was banished to the pine in favor of Sterling Brown, the two had reportedly cleared the air per Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel beat writer Matt Velazquez, but Middleton sat out the Pistons win due to “personal reasons.” He’s not listed on Friday’s injury report and will presumably participate.
Point guard Eric Bledsoe has been fantastic of late and has replaced Middleton as Antetokounmpo’s primary tag-team partner of late, so his matchup with Curry will be worth watching. Bledsoe led the Bucks with 26 points and six assists, while “Greek Freak” added 24 points. Middleton was a game-high plus-33 in that game and is invaluable in that he can defend Curry and Klay Thompson while serving as a viable threat on the other end more effectively than Malcolm Brogdon and Tony Snell. It’s important Milwaukee gets him right.
Even with Green sitting, Golden State should be in much better shape for this rematch than it was for the first meeting since Andre Iguodala has been a fixture in the lineup and was only just returning to the fold this time last month. Shaun Livingston was out with a sore foot and is also back contributing, providing stability for the second unit. Center Damian Jones (shoulder) is expected to remain sidelined, so look for Jonas Jerebko and Kevon Looney to remain in the starting lineup and Jarrett Bell to continue as the primary big man off the bench.
Milwaukee has rookie Dante DiVincenzo back after an injury and should have Middleton in the mix, but forward Ersan Ilyasova has been nursing a concussion, missing four of the last five. He’s questionable. Center John Henson has been out since mid-November due to wrist surgery, so the Bucks’ frontcourt depth is limited. We could very well see a lot of small ball here, but the total of 240 is certainly taking that into account. The first meeting produced the highest number of the season for Milwaukee, closing at 242. It’s Golden State’s second-largest total to date. The ‘over’ is 2-1 in Warriors games that close over 240.
Six of Milwaukee’s last nine games have gone ‘under.’ Six of the Warriors’ last seven have gone ‘over.’ Curry is averaging 33.0 points since returning from his groin injury, shooting 18-for-33 from 3-point range.
Best of the Rest
Philadelphia (-2.5/219) at Detroit, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Pistons will look to turn around a brutal run that has seen their strong start short-circuit in lopsided losses to Oklahoma City and Milwaukee by a combined margin of 50 points. This will be the first of two games in four nights for Detroit against Philadelphia, so the potential is there for some bad blood to develop between these potential Eastern Conference playoff rivals since most of the guys up front are alphas who thrive on running their mouths. The teams have already split a pair of contentious meetings this season. Andre Drummond landed in foul trouble in the most recent meeting on Nov. 3, playing just 21 minutes. He shot 6-for-20 in an Oct. 23 home win at Little Caesar’s Arena in which Blake Griffin scored 50 points in 133-132 OT win.
Joel Embiid comes off an awful effort in Wednesday night’s loss to Toronto and has surmised his recent form has been “trash,” so he’ll be looking to rebound and has averaged 36 points and 14 boards in the two games against the Pistons thus far. This will be Detroit’s first look at Jimmy Butler-infused Philly, so we’ll see how Griffin handles another active defender he’ll have to deal with. Starting shooting guard Rodney Bullock and backup point guard Ish Smith are considered doubtful, so Langston Galloway, Luke Kennard and veteran Jose Calderon are likely to play larger roles and starter Reggie Jackson should get a longer leash.
Indiana at Orlando (-2/206.5), 7:05 p.m. ET: Pacers-Magic games got spicier last season given the presence of Frank Vogel on Orlando’s sideline and the emergence of former draft picks Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis in Indiana, so it’s disappointing that this first meeting of the season will only feature one of them. Vogel reportedly turned down an assistant’s job in Houston and Oladipo is still on the mend with a sore knee, so only Sabonis’ improvement ties these teams together tonight. Both are playing reasonably well, although Indiana is relying on Darren Collison, Cory Joseph and Tyreke Evans to adequately replace Oladipo’s magic and have gotten spotty results. The Magic have seen Aaron Gordon return from injury to have a big week so far, while Nikola Vucevic and Evan Fournier have continued to produce offensively. Orlando has been vulnerable at home, winning just six of 13, while Indiana Is 7-6 on the road.
The Hornets have been one of the worst teams in the Association defending the opposing center position surrendering an average of 24.6 points on 53.6 percent shooting, and 16.5 rebounds a game. This is a great spot for one of the league's best centers as Denver's Nikola Jokic comes to town. Jokic is scoring double figures in all but six games, and contributing an average of 16.5 points, 7.8 assists and 9.6 rebounds. Take Over his points, rebounds and assists total today of 36.5
Forcing outside shooting
The Pacers are the top ranked team in the Association in opponent points in the paint per game allowing only 41.5 with that number substantially lower at home at 36.5. Along with defending inside well, the Pacers have been able to limit opposing centers’ all season allowing an average of 19.3 points per game, and only 2.8 assists a game.
This could be a tough matchup for Orlando's Nikola Vucevic who might struggle scoring inside. In what projects to be a low scoring game, take Under his points, rebounds and assists total of 35.5.
Winning ten straight in the head-to-head
The Raptors have won nine of their last 10 games overall and find themselves in a matchup they have historically dominated versus the Nets. In the head-to-head, the Raptors have won the last 10 straight meetings by an average score of 114.3-103.
The Nets have not been able to close games out late allowing for 54.8 second half points per game. They have blown eight double digit leads, and five fourth quarter meltdowns at home since November 13th.
Toronto enters today ranked fifth in the Association in second half points per game with 56.8 and should be able to pull away late. Take the Raptors to cover as 9-point favorites.
Far too familiar foes
This is the fourth meeting the Lakers and Spurs already this season, and the second in two days. The Spurs had won with first two and looked to have the third locked up when the Spurs let the game slip away late as Lebron James dominated the fourth quarter scoring 14 points in the final four and a half minutes to rally for a 121-113 victory.
The Spurs have posted a 18-7 record over their last 25 games when playing Los Angeles and have won five of their most recent seven home meetings. The Spurs have always played their best ball at home, and today should be no different. Back San Antonio on the money line as small home favorites in what looks like it will close as a Pick.
Expect offensive fireworks
There is no surprise why the Warriors versus Bucks have the highest total on the card by over 15 points as the league's top offenses meet up. The Bucks enter today averaging 121.1 points per contest, and the Warriors are scoring 116.8, with that number three points higher since Curry's return.
Milwaukee's Khris Middleton missed Wednesday's game due to personal reasons but is not listed on the injury report. Although he has been quiet recently, he is still averaging 18.5 points, 4.0 assists and 5.5 rebounds per contest. Look into taking Over his points, rebounds and assists total of 25.5.
-- The Pistons are 13-0 ATS (+9.96 ppg) with rest off a double-digit road loss when they are facing a team that is averaging less than ten offensive rebounds per game and it is before the All-Star break.

College basketball betting action heats things up on the West Coast this Friday night highlighted by a showdown between the No. 6 Nevada Wolf Pack and the No. 20 Arizona State Sun Devils.
This the last of three games on Friday’s slate in this year’s Air Force Reserve Hall of Fame Classic at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The first game of the night pits the New Mexico Lobos against the Saint Mary’s Gaels followed by the TCU Horned Frogs taking on the USC Trojans.
No. 6 Nevada Wolf Pack vs. No. 20 Arizona State Sun Devils (ESPN2, 11:59 p.m. ET)
Opening Odds: Nevada -8, Total 160
Betting Matchup
All the preseason hype surrounding the Wolf Pack as one of the top teams in the nation has panned out in early play with a solid 8-0 straight-up start. After covering as 5 ½-point road favorites in Saturday’s 73-61 win against USC, they improved to a highly profitable 7-1 against the spread. The total stayed UNDER 161 in that game and it has stayed UNDER in six of Nevada’s first eight games.
Senior forward Jordan Caroline scored 22 points in Saturday’s win against the Trojans to eclipse his 18.5-point scoring average for the second time in his last four games. He is also averaging 10 rebounds a game. Another senior forward, Caleb Martin leads Nevada in scoring this season with an average of 19.9 points per game. He recently scored 29 points in a win against Massachusetts. The Wolf Pack have put up an average of 88 points through their first eight games.
Arizona State has remained unbeaten in its first seven games, but it dropped to 5-2 ATS after failing to cover as a heavy 19 ½-point home favorite in Saturday’s 83-71 victory against Texas Southern. The total stayed UNDER 161 points in that game and it has stayed UNDER in four of the Sun Devils’ last six contests. In their only game as underdogs (+4 ½ points) this season, they beat Mississippi State 72-67 on Nov. 19.
This is another team that knows how to put some points on the board with a scoring average of 86.1 PPG. However, Arizona State is not known for playing the tightest defense in the nation with a points-allowed average of 70.7. With a deep roster that boasts four different players averaging at least 12 points a game, freshman guard Luguentz has had the hottest hand with 21.7 PPG. He lit things up against Utah State in a 87-82 victory on Nov. 21 with 33 points while going 10-for-15 from the field.
Betting Trends
-- The Wolf Pack have covered the spread in their last four games against the Pac-12 and they are a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games played on Friday. The total has gone OVER in five of their last six neutral-site games.
-- The Sun Devils are 5-0 ATS in five previous Friday games and they have been able to cover in five of their last seven games played at a neutral site. The total has gone OVER in seven of their last nine games against the Mountain West.
-- These two teams played each other in back-to-back seasons from 2011 to 2012 with the road team winning each contest SU. Nevada was 2-0 ATS as an underdog with the total going OVER in both games

St. Mary’s has been a mixed bag at 5-4 SU through its first nine games.
