  View Analysis

The Rockets have not been good on the road this season going 5-9 as a road fav and that hasn’t changed lately losing their last 4 on the road ATS. They are 2-3 ATS without Westbrook and he will miss this game as they play again tomorrow. The Grizzlies have been hot covering their last 5 games and 7 of their last 8 at home. Memphis is the 2nd offense rated & rebounding team over their L5 games and have been solid on the defensive end as well. The Rockets road woes will continue as they look forward to getting back home and taking on Lillard and the Blazers. I like the Grizz to stay hot.

Play is good from +5 to pk as I like Memphis to win this one outright.

No Rubio
Plus Trae
Lots of travel for Phoenix where they have lost outright the last 2 times they were away favorites...but over the course of the game, the Suns despite the Hell No status are the better team...and how long will Trae be a stud over the 48 minutes of game time. Lloyd Pierce is clearly not up to snuff of Monty and this is a solid first half play where both teams trend the opposite of this spread....where I would also probably have ATL favored or pickem....I overlooked the fact they were even the home team here because the line does not match my numbers so signifcantly!

Not sure I understand this line at all...nor what the Rockets have done, sans Westbrook, to allow such a line to take place...this line is flat out kooky talk. Westbrook has missed 1 game this season and it was a home tilt against the Pistons with Harden and Capela, against a Detroit team that isn't very good and wasn't very good and didn't have Drummond and Blake scored 2 points total!
Brass tax...that game they laid 6 points to the visiting Pistons...a team that HADN'T won 5 in a row, covered 5 in a row, wasn't at home, and hadn't averaged 127 points per with an average 12 point win!
Vegas is telling us here the Rockets if this game was in Houston they would be nearly double the spread this game is...and therein lies the craziness of this play. I think the Griz might keep this streak alive, but I certainly don't love the Rockets to be able to pull off a 6 point win on the road in this spot...against the hotter, more feeling it team!

Hard to imagine loving a line laying THIS many points but....wow...the Cavs just played last night...in Staples and lost by damn near 30 points. Sure looks bad considering the no rest et al....but take this into account...the Cavs led at the break last night against old pal Lebron in his new home! Beilein isn't "allowing" anyone but the starters to be true contributors...and it's going to REALLY rear its ugly head on a back to back at the end of a long road trip...that included travel, and included last night's game where the only 2 guys off the bench, Exum & McKinnie, who registered decent minutes, combined for 3 total points....3!
This game was following the enormous win the Cavs got on the road, in Denver, against the ill prepared, look ahead Nuggets. The Nuggets got what they wanted out of the 2 game set, with a win over LAC...but they also thought they could sleep walk over the Cavs...who didn't even have Exum to eat any minutes, so only McKinnie registered any solid time. Either Beilein is going to empty his bench and Delly is going to be the leader in minutes tonight, or he HAS NOT A CLUE about how to structure a road trip, with elevation, including back to backs....at least yet, as an NBA coach. If all 5 starters get to a potential 35 minute mark AGAIN tonight, the Clips even minus PG will just absolutely make this barely look like it is a professional sporting event.
The Clippers are probably in a spot, similar to last week against the Knicks, where we said on the show we would likely lay 20+ with the Jazz...who won that game by 24. This is a BARGAIN at -15 and I'm going to assume we don't say that again this season more than maybe a couple times....if we say it again...although tonight with the Bucks it is very possible similar!

View Analysis

Pretty big fan of teams going out on a road trip after a long homestand...especially a team this much better than its opponent...with or without Porzingis!
The Mavs on the road ATS in the first half are 13-4 on the season...and this spot is even BETTER than those numbers....if Kristaps goes this first half line will balloon to -5 or -6 at the best and right now at -4 it is some amazing stuff....on top of that the last time these 2 teams played it was in the Bay area and the Warriors held a halftime advantage before succumbing big time in the second half. Doncic and Co. will do all they can to make sure they are stomping throats on GS early and often tonight...then get the road trip off to a fantastic start with a light load and easy first W

View Analysis

However many "points" Washington and Muhammad are worth...which can be debated as neither are the 1st or 2nd or 3rd or 4th option on offense...they are still 2 of the primary 7 or 8 players game in game out and this line is SILLY if it doesn't adjust downard a large amount. Ohio State is in a position where it gets everyone's best shot and they have not put together a full 40 minutes at all in the last several games, all losses...and now have to lay damn near 17 points to Freddy Hoiberg and his visiting, runnin Huskers...
Both Wesson brothers and Kyle Young will be the primary studs in this game and likely dominate the boards...but it is a little bit nuts to lay this many points on a team that has lost outright as dog or chalk in all the games in 2020 and even back to end of 2019....both away games this past week by 12 points...while losing at home by 4 points to start the year.
Grab these points quick...for an early night tip off!
