Pick: Orlando Magic -4
If you are looking for a great value play on Friday, lock in the Orlando Magic -4 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers! The Lakers looked horrible on both sides of the floor in their loss to the Heat last night. They simply couldn’t match the energy of the Heat, which is pretty surprising considering the magnitude of that game. In my opinion the Lakers are a tired basketball team, and there is little reason to believe they are going to pick up the intensity against the Magic, especially playing in the second game of a back-to-back set on the road. Los Angeles has been a horrible team on the road this season. They are just 1-5 straight up and 1-5 ATS. Their only win came at Utah, a game in which they needed overtime. Orlando comes into the game off a 83-85 overtime loss to the Spurs at home. It was just the fourth loss of the season for Orlando. They have followed up their first three losses of the season by going out and winning the next time out, all by at least 7-points. Los Angeles is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog of 0.5-4.5. BET THE MAGIC! -Steve Janus

Pick: Philadelphia 76ers -6
The Philadelphia 76ers are one of the best teams in the league this season. Philly has opened 10-4 this year while going a very profitable 11-3 against the spread. They have been nearly unstoppable at home. The 76ers are 6-1 SU & 6-1 ATS at home this season, outscoring opponents by 19.1 points/game. This team has been tremendous following a loss this year, having yet to lose back-to-back games. Philly is 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 following a loss, winning by 26.3 points/game. Atlanta is 4-3 on the road this year, but three of those wins came against New Jersey twice and Charlotte. This will be one of their toughest road tests yet. The 76ers are 8-0 ATS (+8.0 Units) when the total is between 180 and 189.5 points this season. Philly is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. The 76ers are 33-16-2 ATS in their last 51 games playing on 1 days rest. Take Philadelphia and lay the points. -Black Widow

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -4
The Memphis Grizzlies are showing solid value Friday as a mere 4-point road favorite over the lowly Detroit Pistons. Memphis continues to impressive after their playoff run last season, while Detroit remains a bottom feeder in this league. This one certainly has blowout written all over it tonight. Detroit is 3-12 SU & 4-11 ATS in all games this season. As you can see, they have made faders a lot of money this year already. The Pistons are only scoring 85.0 points/game this season on 42.5 percent shooting. They are giving up 94.7 points/game on 47.1 percent shooting, and getting outscored by 9.7 points/game. The Grizzlies come in red hot, putting together a 4-game winning streak with four straight wins by six points or more. What’s most impressive is that they are shooting 48.6 percent as a team during this stretch despite playing without Zach Randolph. Memphis is 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 meetings with Detroit, winning each by six points or more. The Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a road favorite. Memphis is 22-6 ATS in their last 28 games as a favorite. The Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. The Pistons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games. Bet Memphis Friday. -Jack Jones

NBA Picks for March 27th 2011: Bet On The Memphis Grizzlies And Miami Heat

NBA Picks: March 27th 2011

Pick: Memphis -2
I’m recommending a play on Memphis minus the points on Sunday. The San Antonio Spurs and their legendary pick-and-roll, rolled to the league’s best record seemingly without breaking a sweat. But the loss of Tim Duncan has severely hampered their chosen offensive style. I expect problems on the defensive end as well on Sunday. Memphis can do damage in the paint on the offensive end and without Duncan, the Spurs just don’t have the capable “bigs” to offer enough resistance. The Grizzlies have played the Spurs well this season and that was with Duncan on the floor. San Antone won the first two meetings, both at home, but the Grizzlies got the money in both. The Grizzlies slammed the Spurs 109-93 in Memphis on March 1, and they have now covered four straight meetings, going back to last season, winning twice outright. I believe the line is too low considering the circumstances, not to mention the Grizzlies recent success in this series. I’m laying the points with Memphis on Sunday. Thanks! GL! Scott Spreitzer

Pick: Miami -8.5
Off back-to-back straight up losses at home to San Antonio and Phoenix, Houston has bounced back nicely by winning five straight over the likes of Phoenix, Charlotte, Boston, Utah and Golden State. Rest assured, the Rockets mini streak will come to a quick end tonight. With a 20-10 SU and 17-11-1 ATS record, Miami has certainly played well in the last 30 meetings between these two teams. Both are fighting for playoff positioning so that edge doesn’t favor the Heat or the Rockets. Miami is chasing Boston and Chicago for one of the top two spots in the East while Houston has its eye on Memphis and the eighth spot in the West. What does matter is Houston’s mark against Class A opponents provided the Rockets check in on a roll. According to my NBA database, Houston is a dismal 64-95 ATS coming off a SU and ATS win provided it’s matched up against a foe that sports a won/loss percentage of .670 or better. If the Rockets are running against an opponent that enjoyed the comforts of home last, this team trend slips to a woeful 36-57 ATS! Offensively, Wade, James and Bosh are starting to find their groove. In six of their last seven, the Heat has popped for 100 points or more and averaged 104.7 points per game over those seven battles. Four days of rest and too much home cooking will trouble the Rockets here. Take Miami. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker. (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Jazz vs. Thunder Over 202
Utah and Oklahoma City face off on Wednesday night in Oklahoma with both teams entering off straight up losses in their last game. Our focus is not on who will win this contest our interest is the total as the oddsmakers have set it at 201.5 at the time of this writing and our numbers say that is too low. Utah has gone 39-32 Over this season including 23-13 Over on the highway, 4-1 Over their last five and 9-4 Over versus division opponents. Utah is averaging 98.4 points per game on the road this season while the Thunder are averaging 107 points per game at home. We note that Oklahoma City is 32-5 Over where both teams score 98 or more points in a game this season. Utah is 8-1 Over as a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points. The Jazz are 15-5 Over when playing against a team winning sixty to seventy percent of their games during the second half of the season. Utah is 44-27 Over when playing their 3rd game in 4 days the last 3 seasons. The Jazz are 6-0 Over in this price range as an underdog coming off an ATS loss in their last game, if they are installed as a road underdog they are 5-0 Over. Oklahoma City is 29-18 Over as a favorite and 15-7 Over as a home favorite of 6.5 to 12 points. The Thunder are 20-9 Over after playing 2 consecutive games as a favorite this season. Oklahoma City Thunder coming off an ATS loss in their last game now facing a division opponent have gone Over at a rate of 117-84-2 ATS. This series has seen six of the last seven meetings go Over the posted total. Play this one Over on Wednesday night. -Robbie Gainous

Pick: Orlando Magic -1.5
The Knicks haven’t looked good at all lately, and really looked bad in the second half of their last game against the Celtics, where they blew a 14-point half-time lead. The Knicks are just 1-6 SU and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games. Orlando is 4-1 in their last five, and come in the much more rested team. This will be just the second game in the last five days for the Magic, while the Knicks will be playing their sixth game in the last nine days,and third in the last four. Playing at Madison Square Garden tends to bring the best out of opposing players, and the Magic are 3-0 in their last three trips to MSG. Orlando is 65-44 ATS versus poor defensive teams – allowing 99+ points/game over the last 3 seasons, winning by an average of 10 points a game. The Knicks are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5. Bet Orlando! -Steve Janus

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies +6.5
While the Celtics turned it on in their last game against the Knicks, you can’t ignore how bad they looked in the first half. Boston isn’t playing at the same level as they were earlier this season, and are just 4-4 in their last eight games. While Memphis will struggle to win this game, they have been as good as anyone at covering the spread on the road this season, going 22-14. Their success ATS at Boston is unreal. They are 13-0 ATS at Boston since 1996. The Celtics are just 1-9 ATS off a road win by 10 points or more this season, and 0-9 ATS in home games against Southwest division opponents over the last 2 seasons. -Info Plays

Pick: Toronto Raptors +9
A tough situational spot for the home team, with Phoenix playing its 3rd game in 4 nights. It’s also the second of a back to back spot after playing at the defending champion Lakers last night. Toronto has plenty of offense, averaging 99.3 ppg, and the Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Toronto is on a 2-1 SU/ATS run and the are Suns are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. The road team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these teams. Play the Raptors! -Jim Feist (Handicapperspicks.com)

NBA Picks for March 21st 2011: Bet The New York Knicks And Memphis Grizzlies

NBA Picks: March 21st 2011

Pick: Warriors vs. Spurs Under 210
On Monday the Free NBA Totals system play is on the under in the Golden State at San Antonio Sours game. Rotation numbers 611/612 at 8:30 eastern. This game fits a 90% system that dates to 1995 and is illustrated below for your viewing pleasure. What we want to do in this game is play the under for rested home favorites that scored 100 or more in their last game if they were favored by 10 or more points and are now taking on an opponent that scored 80 or less as a road dog of 5 or more in their last game. If the posted total is 190 or higher these games have gone under the total 9 of 10 times with 2 games landing on the number for a push. The Warriors have to take on the Spurs one night after getting pasted by the Dallas Mavericks. We note that the Warriors are have gone under in 10 of 13 games off 3 or more losses, 5 of 7 times as a road dog from +9.5 to +12 and 10 of 14 times in the second of back to back nights. The Spurs have played under in 6 of 7 games this season when the posted total is 210 or higher. Look for this one to play under the total here tonight. On Monday I have a Rare NBA Totals system that beats the Line by over 20 points. I also have the highest rated NIT Play going tonight from a scintillating 100% Power Angle. Unit rated College Tournament plays are cashing over 80% the last week. Jump on and start the week big. Tonight sports talk radio show segment on 88.9 wsia.fm will be moved to 8:30 eastern and I will have a free play in one of the upcoming sweet 16 Tournament games later this week. For the free play take the under in the Golden State at San Antonio game. -Rob Vinciletti

Pick: New York Knicks +2
Boston has dropped 3 of its last 4 on the road, and it will have its work cut out for itself against a Knicks team motivated by back-to-back defeats. With each of the last 3, and 5 of the last 6, meetings being decided by 4 points or less, I won’t hesitate to grab the points here. In addition, plays on home teams when the line is +3 to -3 off 2 or more consecutive road losses, a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) playing a winning team, are 56-26 ATS since 1996. Teams fitting into this situation have won by an average of 4.1 points. Also, New York has been exceptional in the underdog role. The Knicks are 24-8-2 ATS in their last 34 games as an underdog and 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog of 4.5 or fewer points. Since the Knicks just played Sunday, it is also worth noting that they are 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games when playing without a day of rest. It must also be mentioned that Boston is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games as a road favorite. The home team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. The Celtics are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in New York. Take the Knicks. -Jimmy Boyd

Pick: Memphis Grizzlies -8
The Grizzlies have dominated their last two home games against bad teams, beating the Clippers by 23 and the Pacer by 21. The Jazz have looked ugly in a number of road games of late, and we look for them to come out flat against the Grizzles, as they had to play a tough high-scoring game against the Rockets yesterday. Memphis plays like an elite team on their home court. They are 24-10 SU and 21-12 ATS, including a 7-2 run over their last nine games at home as a favorite. Utah is just 7-20 ATS in their last 27 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. -Info Plays (Handicapperspicks.com)

Pick: Toronto Raptors +4.5
The Toronto Raptors are showing solid value tonight as a home underdog against the Memphis Grizzlies. I know Toronto is struggling, but they are coming off a brutal 5-game road trip with games against four of the top teams in the league in the Hornets, Spurs, Magic and Heat. I look for them to put an end to their recent skid when they return home Monday to face a Memphis team that is struggling on the road this season. The Grizzlies are 8-16 on the road this year and should not be favored tonight. This play falls into a system that is 47-17 (73%) ATS since 1996. It tells us to bet on underdogs (TORONTO) – terrible defensive team – shooting pct defense of >=48% on the season against opponent hot shooting team – 2 straight games making >=50% of their shots. The Grizzlies are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite of 0.5-4.5. The Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5. Memphis is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following a double-digit win. The home team has won 8 of the last 10 meetings. -Jack Jones

Pick: Old Dominion -13.5
At first glance, this pointspread seems fairly high. After all, the Seahawks are off a 6-point win while the Monarchs are off a 9-point loss. However, those Saturday results have actually helped to keep the line a little lower than it could have been. I believe the Monarchs are the superior team and I expect them to demonstrate it here. Saturday was just the Monarch’s second home loss of the season. They’re now 14-5 overall. Despite coming up short vs VCU, the Monarchs held a rebounding advantage once again. ODU has now outrebounded 18 of its 19 opponents. The Monarchs should enjoy a solid edge in that department again here and that should help in pulling away. While many teams struggle when coming off a loss, the Monarchs typically aren’t one of them. In fact, they’re a profitable 10-2 ATS (11-1 SU) the last dozen times that they were coming off a conference loss. The Monarchs are 12-8-2 ATS (22-0 SU) the last 22 times that there were listed as home favorites in the -12.5 to -15 range. They’re also 3-0 SU/ATS against the Seahawks since 2009. They won those games by 18, 19 and 30 points. Given their past success at “bouncing back” from a loss, they’ve got a great shot at another convincing victory. Consider laying the points. -Ben Burns

Pick: Boston Bruins +100
Love the Bruins tonight, as in my opinion they are one of the best road teams in the league, and have really hit their stride. Winners of 6 of 8 and scoring a ton of goals. ( The 6th best offense in the NHL averaging 3.1 GPG) Boston has kept plugging along this season and is full marks for their position in the Eastern Conference standings. The Bruins are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games and are coming off an impressive 6-2 win over the Avs on Saturday. Something LA cannot do. The Kings can’t win games consistently OR score for that matter of late. 3 wins in 13 games since mid-December. The Bruins are better between the pipes as well as Rask holds an edge over the “overrated” Johnathon Quick. (I loved him a couple weeks ago, but he’s not impressing me of late.) Last meeting between these 2 clubs in Boston 2 months ago saw the Kings win 4-3 in OT. I see the Bruins outplaying the Kings tonight in a payback game. I’m the #3 NHL Capper for a reason folks. I find winners. Got another one tonight for you. (5* Free Play). Take the Bruins +100 vs. LA. -Ray Monohan (Handicapperspicks.com)
