Los Angeles Clippers over Portland Trailblazers: Not often I will be willing to spot road points but tonight it is warranted. LAC have won 6 in a row 5-1 ATS and actually play better without Griffin than with him.
Portland Trailblazers over Memphis Grizzlies: Wrong team favored in this one. Port is 4-1 in their L5 and are likely to get Lillard back tonight. Regardless McCollum is playing very well. Conley is questionable for Mem.
Dallas Mavericks over New Orleans Pelicans: We get a very beatable number given Dall played last night and laid an egg along with the fact this will be their 4th game in 6 nights. Given how the game went last night none of the key players played big minutes. This will be Dall 4th game in 6 nights but on zero days rest they are 5-2 ATS.
Dallas Mavericks over Miami Heat: Dall has won 4 in a row. They are actually playing better with Bareea starting than Williams.
Orlando Magic over Washington Wizards: Sometimes it is simply a matter of taking the better team. In a game Orl simply has to win even on the road we get value. I have this game at 2.5.
Detroit Pistons over New York Knicks: Det has lost 2 in a row so the markets are down on them again. However that was against Atl and Bost tonight they take a big step down in class.
Denver Nuggets over New Orleans Pelicans: WE lost last time out with Den but it will not deter us from coming right back on them in this situation. NO is 2-13 s/u on the road they are 3-8 in their last 11. Now on game 5 and last of their current road trip they are being asked to win outright to get the money so the value I have this game at 3.0 is with Den.
Indiana Pacers over Memphis Grizzlies: Ind will be playing their 4th game in 6 nights however Mem will be playing their 5th game in 7 nights. Mem has been a surprise and not in a good way. They are transitioning to small ball and have Randolph coming off the bench. At 14-14 to date they are a work in progress is an understatement.
Denver Nuggets over Utah Jazz: Quietly Den has won 3 in a row and 5-1 in their last 6. Conversely Ut is 5-6 ATS at home they are 2-8 in their last 10 s/u and have lost 4 in a row. Now they are being asked to cover a margin even at home therefore we get value on the visitor.
Los Angeles Clippers over San Antonio Spurs: I have this game at 6.5 so we get excellent value. Both teams are 8-2 s/u in their last 10. Both teams will be playing their toughest competition in a while. Part of the inflated line is SA is steam rolling everyone. They are 14-0 s/u at home.
