Pick: Clippers vs. Celtics Over 192.5
Nice tilt tonight in Boston as the Clippers come to the Garden winners of 3 straight on their 5 game road trip. Eric Gordon is out again (Bad foul from Mozgov on Saturday). Ho Hum, the Clippers still have Mo Williams, Blake Griffin and Chris Kaman to turn to. (Kaman has scored in double figures in six of his last seven games off the bench.) The Celtics continue to win despite having five players sidelined with injuries, including Shaq, West and 6th man Davis. Boston holds a 2 1/2-game lead over Chicago for the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Boston is shooting a league-high.493 percent – .107 better than No. 2 Dallas. In their last meeting this year Boston defeated LAC 99-92. If all goes according to plan this game should be over midway thru the 4th qtr and the B-Teamers will be out there running around and not playing any D. Tons of trends lead me to believe this ones goes OVER the nice value line tonight. Over is 4-1 in Celtics last 5 overall. Over is 4-0 in Celtics last 4 vs. Western Conference. Over is 4-0 in Celtics last 4 vs. NBA Pacific. Over is 11-5 in BOS last 16 home games, Over is 13-6 in BOS last 19 Wed. games, Over is 7-1 for LAC last 8 vs. NBA Atlantic. Over is 9-3 in Clippers last 12 games following a S.U. win. -Ray Monohan

Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder +1.5
Oklahoma City lost a tough game against at Memphis their last time out, but that creates a prime opportunity to jump on the Thunder tonight. Oklahoma City is 38-18 ATS in their last 56 games following a S.U. loss, and are 20-11 ATS (+7.9 Units) versus poor pressure defensive teams – forcing <=14 turnovers/game this season. The 76ers are just 1-10 ATS in home games after 3 straight games where both teams scored 100 points or more since 1996. This game also falls under one of our highest rated systems. You want to play against all teams where the line is +3 to -3 (76ers) – average defensive team (43.5-45.5%) against a poor defensive team (45.5-47.5%), after 3 straight games – allowing a shooting pct. of 47% or higher, as its 30-7 since 1996! Bet the Thunder! -Steve Janus

Pick: Golden State Warriors -2
The Nets are playing with a depleted roster. Deron Williams will not be in action because of the birth of his child. New Jersey could also be without Johan Petro, Anthony Morrow, Damion James, and Quinton Ross. Golden State did just play last night, but are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest, and are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. New Jersey is just 19-40-1 ATS in their last 60 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record, and just 13-29 ATS versus up-tempo teams averaging 83 or more shots/game over the last 2 seasons. -Info Plays (Handicapperspicks.com)

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)

Pick: Chicago Bulls +1
Off back-to-back losses in which Chicago’s defense let it down, expect the Bulls to tighten the screws and find the win column against the struggling Jazz tonight. Utah was lucky to get a win against lowly Sacramento in its last game, and it is worth noting that the Jazz haven’t won consecutive games since they won 3 straight from Jan. 8-14. It is also worth noting that the Bulls haven’t lost 3 in a row all season. In fact, Chicago is 15-4 ATS off 2 or more consecutive road losses over the last 3 seasons. The Bulls are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as an underdog of 4.5 points or less and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog overall. The Jazz are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. Bet the Bulls. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Los Angeles Clippers +7
The Clippers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. the Eastern Conference. The Knicks have a big game on deck coming up against the Lakers, a revenge game, and the Knicks are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 vs. the Western Conference. The Clippers can get in for easy shots against small teams, as Blake Griffin is second in the NBA in dunks (116) and Clippers center DeAndre Jordan stands third at 94. And when these teams meet the underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Play the LA Clippers. -Jim Feist

Pick: Central Florida -2
Central Florida is out for revenge tonight at the UCF arena in Orlando as it tests their 11-3 home record against conference foe Memphis (17-6). Keep in mind UCF gets back A.J. Rompza tonight as well. The Knights are hoping his return will help shake them out of the throes of a seven-game losing streak. He is the leader of this team, and will make a world of difference. The last time these 2 teams met wasn’t that long ago (Jan 26th) a 77-61 Memphis win, in Memphis. Since that game Memphis has gone 1-2 (1-2 ATS), and UCF has gone 0-2 (0-2 ATS). Nothing to right home about. But like I said I’m playing on the revenge angle on this one tonight. I like how these two teams matchup, and give UCF the edge in FT%, D, Rebounding, and T/O’s, At home the Knights are averaging 69.2 scoring, and holding teams to 57.2 points scored on defense. Trends I like include, Knights are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. Tigers are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Tigers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games. Tigers are 9-23 ATS in their last 32 games following a S.U. win. I believe UCF’s stingy D when playing at home will be the difference here tonight and have no problem giving the 2. (This line’s moving at most books, up to -2.5 now. I’d grab it up to 3) -Ray Monohan

Pick: San Antonio Spurs -7.5
Toronto is 14-38 straight up this year. The Raptors are 4-10 ATS their last 14 home games and they are 15-35-1 ATS their last 51 home games. The Raptors are 17-36-1 ATS their last 54 games when their opponent scores 100 or more points in their last game. San Antonio is 43-8 straight up this year. The Spurs are 35-17 ATS their last 52 games off a straight up win by more than 10 points. The Spurs are 6-1 ATS their last 7 games overall and they are 7-3 ATS when playing with no rest. The Spurs are 11-5-2 ATS their last 18 Eastern Conference games. PLAY ON SAN ANTONIO -Tom Freese (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Orlando Magic -5.5
It can be tough to get back up after a loss like the Magic endured to Miami last night, but they have no choice. They have lost 2 in a row and Boston is on deck. Washington checks in having lost 6 in a row, and all 6 of those defeats have come by at least 7 points. Unfortunately for the Wiz, there’s no chance Orlando will overlook them tonight. Orlando only defeated Washington by 1 point when the teams last faced off in November. The Magic are a much better team now, and that narrow win will have them very focused this evening. Orlando has been an extremely reliable road fave in this range. In fact, the Magic are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. Orlando has also taken care of business against weak competition. In the second half of the season the last two seasons, the Magic are 11-2 ATS when playing against bad teams (Win Pct. 25% to 40%), defeating these foes by an average score of 111.6 to 94.3. In addition, Washington is just 4-15 ATS in the second half of the season the last three seasons when playing at home against a team with a winning record. It is losing to these teams by an average score of 105.7 to 94.9. Take the Magic. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Denver Nuggets -10
Denver is a very strong 21-5 SU at home this year where they are scoring 110.7 points per game this year. Denver is 7-1 SU and 6-1 ATS at home vs Utah last 3 years. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU loss. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Jazz are 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5. Jazz are 8-21-1 ATS in their last 30 games as an underdog of 5.0-10.5. Jazz are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Jazz are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. Jazz are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Jazz are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Jazz are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning SU record. Jazz are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games. Jazz are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. Jazz are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog. Jazz are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Nuggets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Northwest. Nuggets are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Nuggets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Nuggets are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Nuggets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Favorite is 29-11-3 ATS in the last 43 meetings. We’ll recommend a small play on Denver tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky Atkinson

Pick: Los Angeles Clippers +7.5
The Clippers are a different team than earlier in the season posting a 9-5 mark the last 14 times out. In the first game of a long road trip we expect Los Angeles to be at their best. They are off a non-competitive home loss to the Bulls and face Miami, Orlando and New York after tangling with the Hawks. The second half of the trip lets up big time but they have to be able to be competitive against the upper echelon of NBA squads on the road. Atlanta beat the Clippers by 9 earlier in LA but this young team has gained a great deal of confidence since that meeting. Off a double digit victory and with a slew of Eastern Conference opponents on deck we can’t see the Hawks being inspired tonight. They play tomorrow night in Washington so it’s likely the starter’s minutes will be limited against the Clippers. As bad as Washington has been on the road they are a credible force on their home court. While Atlanta has dominated this series on the scoreboard as of late they haven’t had any edge against the spread. We expect the Clippers to give the Hawks all they can handle tonight. -Bryan Leonard (Handicapperspicks.com)
