Pick: Golden State Warriors +11
would take double digits points with almost any team that is playing MEM. Yes the Grizz have been good at home ATS but not often have they had to lay this high of a number. GS has been playing well covering 2 of last 3 including a near win last night at OKC. Usually a back to back is not a team you want to put a play on but this young GS team is pretty good in back to back games ATS going 8-7 on the season. MEM Grizzlies are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. way too many pts take GS for our Free Sports Pick for today. -Craig Trapp

Pick: Houston Rockets +3
The Sixers lost an OT back breaker to Sacramento on Sunday at the Wachovia Center, then turned around and defeated Chicago Monday both SU & ATS as a double digit UNDERDOG in Chicago. Think the sports-betting public is confused? Back in February Philadelphia defeated Houston 114-105. Now we have sweet REVENGE for the visitors who will find some technical data favoring their chances. The UNDERDOG in the series is a red hot 13-3 ATS, while the road team corresponds with a majestic 13-3 ATS anchor. Further, the Rockets have earned in Philly covering 7 of the last 9. Good Luck. -Brad Diamond

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -5.5
The Clippers are 29-45 straight up this year. Los Angeles is 13-40 ATS their last 53 games vs. NBA Southwest teams. The Clippers are 4-10 ATS their 14 games vs. Western Conference teams. The Clippers are 0-5 ATS their last 5 home games and they are 1-6 ATS their last 7 games overall. Dallas is 52-21 straight up this year. The Mavericks are 11-5 ATS their last 16 road games. Dallas is 16-5 ATS vs. NBA Pacific teams. The Mavericks are 28-8-1 ATS their last 30 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Dallas is 5-0 ATS their last 5 meetings with the Clippers. PLAY ON DALLAS -Tom Freese

Pick: Sacramento Kings +12
Denver keeps winning so oddsmakers keep pushing the numbers up on this young team. They face a young, hungry Sacramento Kings team that is undervalued, with the Kings 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. They are also 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Sacramento is on a 3-0 SU/ATS run despite being an underdog in every game! And the Kings are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings with Denver. Play the Kings. -Jim Fiest (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Detroit Pistons +7
The boys from the Motor City travel south for a meeting against the Hawks of ATL. The Pistons have struggled on the road straight up this season but they have done all right covering the number on the road as an underdog going 19-15 ATS. They are a much better road underdog than the Hawks are a home favorite; Atlanta is just 9-20 ATS when favored at home. These teams have gone in opposite directions in the scoring department over their last five games. Detroit is averaging 101 points per game their last five games (103.4 points per game L11 games) while Atlanta has seen their scoring production fall to 89.3 points per game over their last five contests. The Hawks scoring issues are even more pervasive as we see they are only averaging 88.3 points per game over their last fifteen contests, they will certainly need more production on the offensive end today to cover such a large number. A quick check of the database reveals several strong tech sets that support our play on the Pistons here are just a few. Atlanta is 11-22 ATS coming off a home game this season. The Hawks have also struggled when coming off a home loss, as they are 0-8 ATS in home games off a home loss this season and 5-21 ATS off a home blowout loss of 20 points or more since 1996. These particular Birds have not done a good job of rebounding from a home loss even if it was an embarrassing blowout loss, as our tech set would indicate. One final note Detroit has recently had the upper hand in this series going 5-2 against the number the last seven meetings. Take the points here as the Detroit Pistons give the Atlanta Hawks all they can stand on Sunday afternoon in ATL. -Robbie Gainous

Pick: Golden State +9.5
At 7:30 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Golden State Warriors plus the points over Dallas. Over the previous eight days, the Mavericks had two huge games — both at home — vs. the Los Angeles Lakers, and the San Antonio Spurs. And they lost both, 96-91 to L.A., and 97-91 to the Spurs. Neither game was as close as the final scores indicate, as Los Angeles held Dallas at arm’s length for much of the last three quarters, and the Spurs were up by double digits for much of their game. Dallas now has virtually no chance of catching Los Angeles for the No. 2 seed out west, and is actually much more likely to fall to No. 4 behind Oklahoma City, which has won six straight games. The Mavs have failed to cover seven of nine overall, and can’t be trusted to lay this many points to a Warriors squad that plays hard every game. Take Golden State. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie.

NBA Picks for March 16th 2011: Bet The Mavericks To Cover The Number Wednesday

Pick: Charlotte vs. Houston Over 200
True, the Bobcats are a little “offensively challenged.” However, this number is still very low, for a game involving the Rockets. The Rockets are off a (rare) low-scoring game vs. Phoenix on Monday, earning a 95-93 victory. Their previous five games averaged 217 combined points though, each producing a minimum of 207 combined points. For the season, Houston games are averaging a whopping 210.2 points. Note that the “over” is a profitable 8-3 in Houston’s last 11 games against teams with a losing record. The Bobcats, who are off an “upset” win at Toronto, have seen two of their last three games finish above the total. They’ve seen the “over” go 10-3 the last 13 times that they were off a SU win, when listed as an underdog. Consider the Over.  Be sure to visit our premium sports picks page to purchase Ben Burns expert NBA basketball picks today!

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -3.5
Golden St is 30-37 straight up this year. The Warriors are 3-7 ATS their last 10 games as home underdogs. Golden St is 2-5 ATS their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road win percentage of over 60%. The Warriors are 2-5 ATS their last 7 games as home dogs of 0.5 to 4.5 points. Dallas is 47-20 straight up this year. The Mavericks are 6-2 ATS their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Dallas is 13-5 ATS their last 18 Wednesday games. Dallas is 12-5 ATS when their opponent allows 100 or more points in their last game. The Mavs are 13-5 ATS vs. NBA Pacific teams. PLAY ON DALLAS – Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)

Basketball Betting Picks for February 16th 2011: Back The Mavericks And Jazz Wednesday

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -11
The All-Star break can’t get here fast enough for this Kings team, which is dealing with tension between players and a foot injury to star guard Tyreke Evans. The Kings were crushed by 30 at Oklahoma City last night, and this one could get ugly as well. The Kings have played the Mavs tough in two prior meetings this season, losing by just two points in each. However, I expect the rested Mavs to flex their muscles this evening. The Mavericks have averaged 114.6 points on 51.7 percent shooting during a 13-game home winning streak over Sacramento that spans nearly 8 years. While many teams are motivated following such embarrassing defeats, the Kings haven’t been one of them lately. In fact, they are just 9-20 ATS in their last 29 games following a loss of more than 10 points and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. The Kings are just 4-13-1 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Dallas, and I expect their struggles in the Big “D” to continue. Lay the points.

Pick: Utah Jazz -4.5
Utah is 28-14 ATS after playing a game as a road underdog over the last 2 seasons, and are 17-6 ATS after a road game where both teams score 100 or more points over the last 2 seasons. Utah is also 25-14 ATS versus poor defensive teams – allowing 99+ points/game – 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. Golden State is just 6-18 on the road this season, and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a SU win of more than 10 points. -Info Plays

Pick: Loyola-Chicago -3
On Wednesday the Horizon League Power Play is on Loyola Chicago. Game 773 at 8:00 eastern. Loyola is 8-2 vs losing teams and has won and covered every times the past 3 years as a road favorite of 3 or less. They have won 11 of 15 games vs teams who score 65 or less points per game and are taking on an Illinois Chicago team that is 2-11 vs winning teams and 3-8 straight up and ats after scoring 60 or less points. They have lost 10 of 12 with revenge and are 2-13 in conference good for last place. In the battle of 2 windy city team take Illinois Chicago. On Wednesday its the 6* Double Perfect Conference USA goy and 2 Big NBA plays including eastern Conference Game of the Month and 100% Blowout system. Three Big games up now. -Rob Vinciletti (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Colorado +7.5
Colorado 11-0 at home and a very good sleeper team in the Big 12. They score 81 ppg at home and hit 51 percent from the floor on the season in Boulder! Kansas off a devastating loss and way to inconsistent right now to lay this type of number on the road. You never know who is going to show up for KU, and against Colorado at home, you better bet the A Game of the Buffs will be in tact and the arena sold out for this one. A very tough place to play. Colorado has some horses to hang tight and not sure how KU is going to react after a blowout loss as a big favortie against Texas on Saturday. A very tough spot for KU, I will galdly take the points here in a half unit free play. -Tony George

Pick: Washington Wizards +5.5
Denver is a completely different team on the road where it is 5-13 on the season and has lost three in a row and 12 of 15. The Nuggets are averaging 8.1 points fewer and allowing 4.4 points per game more outside the Pepsi Center. It’s not like the Nuggets have only been losing to quality opponents either. They were blown out by 20 points at Sacramento earlier this month. The Wizards are 13-9 at home this season and defeated Boston 85-83 in their last home game. They have won 5 of their last 6 in their home gym. The Nuggets are 7-20-2 ATS in their last 29 road games. They are also 8-19 ATS in their last 27 road games as a favorite, losing these games by an average score of 104.8 to 104.6. The fade is on until Denver proves it can take care of business away from home, especially when laying this much chalk. Take the points. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Cleveland Cavaliers +18
The Cavaliers had a brutal road trip made worse by the fact that they played a string of teams that like to run uptempo. The Cavs shifted gears the last game and played a slow, defensive-oriented team in the Bulls and covered as a big dog. Now they face a similar defensive team, Boston, a veteran club battling a lot of injuries. The Celtics are better defensively with Kevin Garnett back, but are still thin up front and on the bench because of injuries. Boston is 5-11-1 ATS the last 17 games. Play the Cavaliers. -Jim Feist

Pick: Dallas Mavericks -5.5
The Clippers are 17-26 straight up this year. Los Angeles is 16-36 ATS their last 52 road games vs. a team with a win percentage of over 60%. The Clippers are 15-36 their last 51 games vs. NBA Southwest teams. The Clippers are 0-6 ATS their last 6 Tuesday games. Dallas is 28-15 straight up this year. The Mavericks are 7-2 ATS their last 9 games vs. NBA Pacific teams. Dallas is 13-6 ATS their last 19 games off a straight up win. The favorite in this series is 4-0 ATS the last 4 meetings. PLAY ON DALLAS -Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)
