Pick: Detroit -2.5
I’m playing the Pistons on Saturday night. The Pacers are attempting to hold off Milwaukee and Charlotte for the final spot in the Eastern Conference standings, but it certainly doesn’t help getting blasted at home by the Sacramento Kings. But that’s exactly what happened last night. And now Indiana finds itself in a horrible team situation, playing in their second of back-to-back nights. The Pacers are 2-12 ATS when the second game is a road contest. They’re also on a 3-11 ATS slide on the road when playing their third game in four nights, which is also the case in this one. The Pistons also played last night, but they’re actually 3-2 SU when playing at home the night after a road contest. Detroit came up short last night in Cleveland, but they have played a better brand of basketball since center Greg Monroe was inserted into the starting lineup. Monroe and Tayshaun Prince make for a decent front line duo that I believe Indiana will struggle with tonight. Look for Detroit to grab the win and cover. I’m playing the Pistons. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer

Pick: Atlanta Hawks -9.5
Motivated by back-to-back defeats, and with 2 full days to gear up, expect the Hawks to take it to a Nets squad that has lost 5 of its last 6 and is playing without a day of rest. The Hawks will draw added motivation from a loss at New Jersey the last time these teams faced off. The fact that this game is being played in Atlanta certainly bodes well for the Hawks. Consider that Atlanta has won 4 straight at home in this series with those wins coming by an average of 21.3 points. The Nets are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5 and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5 points overall. The Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games when playing without a day of rest and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. The home team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings and the Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games against the Nets. Lay the points. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Bulls vs. BUcks Over 177.5
The last 4 meetings in this series have been very low scoring, but I believe odds makers have set the bar a little low here considering both of these teams played last night. When the legs are tired, defense is the first thing to go. These are 2 of the best defensive teams in the league, but I don’t expect the clamps to be quite as tight with fatigued legs. Besides, both teams have found their stride offensively. The Bucks and Bulls have both hit the century mark in 3 of their last 4. The Over is 4-1 in the Bucks’ last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. The Over is also 16-7-2 in the Bucks’ last 25 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. Bet the Over. -Jeff Alexander (Handicapperspicks.com)

NBA Picks for March 20th 2011: Bet The Pistons And Warriors As Underdogs Sunday

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 February 22nd 2011: Consider The Clippers And Celtics On Tuesday

NBA Picks: February 22nd 2011

Pick: Los Angeles Clippers +8.5
On Tuesday the free NBA System Play is on the LA. Clippers. Game 509 at 8:05 eastern. This game fits a nice system that dates to 1995. What we want to do is play against home favorites of 8.5 or more with 4 or more days of rest that scored 120 or more as a home favorite in the game prior to the 4+ day break. These teams are 2-9 ats. While this system is solid, the sample is small for a 16 year study and the Clippers are not a good road team. The Clippers are however very good off a dog win covering in 7 of the 9 following games. Ironically they have won the last 3 times they have played here. The Thunder have lost 6 of 9 to the spread vs Pacific Division teams and 4 of 6 to the spread vs losing teams in the second half. If the line on this one were to shoot upwards of 12 points we would then recommend the Clippers on a unit rated basis. On Tuesday the NBA Comes back from the break and were 16 games over .500 on the season. Tonight the lead play is a double system NBA Side backed with an all star break return to action system. I also have 2 solid NCAAB Power Angle Plays up. One with 7 Power Angles good for the NCAAB Game of the week. The Other that applies to a blowout system. Last nights top play cashed with Kent. For the free Play take the LA. Clipppers. Rob Vinciletti

Pick: Boston Celtics -4.5
Golden St is 26-29 straight up this year. The Warriors are 2-5 ATS their last 7 games after allowing 100 or more points in their last game. The Warriors are 2-6 ATS their last 8 games as home underdogs. The Warriors are 6-12 ATS when allowing 100 or more points in their last game. Boston is 40-14 straight up this year. The Celtics are 4-1 ATS their last 5 games when playing with 3 or days rest and they are 5-1 ATS their last 6 Tuesday games. The Celtics are 22-6 ATS after allowing 80 or less points in their last game. PLAY ON BOSTON -Tom Freese

Pick: Detroit Pistons +1.5
It’s understood that Houston (26-31) is better then Detroit (21-36) but by how much? If you break it down as a road and home affair the Pistons actually grade out better as they are 14-15 straight-up and the Rockets are only 11-18. Houston has had difficulties in Detroit covering on two of the last nine meetings in the Motor City and the home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Take DETROIT! -Chip Chirimbes

Pick: Indiana Pacers -1.5
While Indiana is a notch below the elite teams in the NBA, it has certainly taken care of business against the bottom of the barrel. Indiana is 21-10 ATS when playing against a bad team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) over the last 2 seasons, defeating these squads by an average score of 103.6 to 98.4. It is also worth mentioning that the Pacers are 11-4-2 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Lay the points with the Pacers tonight. -Dave Price (Handicapperspicks.com)

NBA Predictions for February 14th 2011: Wager On The Hawks And Trailblazers

February 14, 2011 By

NBA Predictions: February 14th 2011
CLICK HERE FOR EXPERT NBA PREDICTIONS

Prediction: Hawks vs. Pistons Under 185.5
Atlanta is struggling from the floor and they need some offense, but their defense is very solid. Detroit is playing better defense, but Rip Hamilton still out and this should be a tight and competitive game tonight. Atlanta has went UNDER 6 out of the last 7 games and though Harrington is back, they will struggle here tonight against a feisty Pistons team looking fro a win. I like the Under here. -Tony George

Prediction: Portland Trailblazers -2.5
Minnesota is 13-41 straight up this year. The Timberwolves are 4-10 ATS their last 14 games overall and they are 3-11 ATS their last 14 games as underdogs. Minnesota 7-18-1 ATS their last 26 games as home underdogs. The Timberwolves are 3-8 ATS their last 11 home games. Portland is 30-24 straight up this year. The Blazers are 18-7-1 ATS their last 26 games as road favorites of 0.5 to 4.5 points. Portland is 4-1 ATS after scoring 100 or more points in their last games. The Blazers are 4-1 ATS their last 5 Monday games and they are 5-2-1 ATS their last 8 games as favorites. PLAY ON PORTLAND -Tom Freese

Prediction: Atlanta Hawks -4.5
If back-to-back home defeats aren’t enough to get Atlanta’s blood boiling, recalling a 103-80 loss the last time it visited Detroit will certainly do the trick. Right away, I like the fact that road favorites out to avenge an upset loss to an opponent, provided they are also coming off an upset loss at home, are an impressive 79-39 ATS since 1996. In addition, plays against home teams that are extremely tired – playing their 5th game in 7 days – and provided they are a poor team winning only 25% to 40% of their games on the season, are 116-66 ATS since 1996, including 5-1 ATS this season. The Pistons are coming off an exhausting defeat to Portland Sunday. The Hawks, meanwhile, have had a day to rest, and they have only played 2 games in the last 6 days. I’ll back the fresher, more talented Hawks in this motivated spot. Lay the points. -Jimmy Boyd (Handicapperspicks.com)

Prediction: Spurs vs. Nets Under 190.5
One of the worst offenses in the league meets one of the best defenses in the league Monday when the New Jersey Nets host the San Antonio Spurs. New Jersey is scoring a woeful 92.8 PPG this season, while the Spurs give up 96.3 PPG. The Nets are playing solid defense this year, though, as they allow just 96.8 PPG at home. Taking a look at recent meetings in this series, it’s easy to see that there is some value with this UNDER tonight. The UNDER is 17-6 in the last 23 meetings. In fact, the Spurs and Nets have combined to score 190 or less points in 21 of those 23 meetings. The UNDER is 9-2 in Spurs last 11 games playing on 1 days rest. The UNDER is 6-1 in Spurs last 7 vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. The Nets are 6-1 to the UNDER in their last 7 vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Roll with the UNDER in this game Monday. -Jack Jones
