Los Angeles Clippers at Minnesota Timberwolves

I like the addition of Smush Parker to the Clipper roster and I believe the big guard will make a difference in this one. Parker was booted off the Heat roster after just nine games this season for an off-court incident. But don't forget, he played in 164 straight games as a Laker and averaged in double-digits in scoring. His ability to take defenders out to the perimeter and also create off the dribble will be a huge plus for this team. The Clippers will likely be without Chris Kaman tonight, but they draw a squad they can hang with. The Timberwolves find themselves laying a half-dozen points. Yet, this is a team that's just 10-23 SU at home this season, including 0-3 this month. Minnesota doesn't play much defense which is the main reason I'm backing the Clippers. LAC is a horrible 1-16 on the road when they score less than 90 points. Tonight's opponent allows 101 PPG! When the Clippers top 90, they're actually an above .500 road team, going 8-6 SU. The Clippers began this road trip last Monday with a win in Miami. I expect another win as they get ready to head back home.

Taking Los Angeles (+7)!
Good luck!











Atlanta Hawks at Washington Wizards

Wizards know they have to keep winning. They did it Thursday night, downing Cleveland here at home, and then got by the Clippers at home in their next Saturday night in a letdown spot. They should be back up tonight for another Eastern Conference foe and one chasing them in the standings. Hawks come in without rest and represent a class-drop for the Wizards who have beaten them 13 of the last 16 meetings. Washington is 23-10 ATS on the season against teams with losing records.

Taking Washington!
Good luck!











Cleveland Cavaliers at Orlando Magic


The Cavs managed a home victory over the Bobcats yesterday. However, tonight's game comes on the road and against a significantly tougher opponent. Indeed, the Magic are 44-24 for the season and they've won four in a row with each victory coming by a minimum of nine points. The Cavs are 0-3 SU the last three times that they played the second of back to back games and just 6-10 in that situation for the season. Looking back further and we find them at 26-33 SU the past three seasons when playing the second of back to back games, going a money-burning 23-34-2 against the number. During that stretch, they were also just 9-14 ATS (4-19 SU) when listed as road underdogs in the +6.5 to +9 range. Note that the Cavs have also lost five of their last six road games and that none of those teams, with the exception of Boston, were as tough as Orlando.

The Magic, who are 7-3 ATS the last 10 times that they were listed as home favorites in the -6.5 to -9 range, torched the Pacers for 122 points in their last game, which was here on Saturday. They've now reached triple-digits in scoring in four straight games and seven of their past eight. Additionally, its worth noting that they're 21-11 ATS on the season after scoring 105 or more points in their previous game and a highly profitable 44-22-1 ATS after having done so the past three seasons. The Cavs scored the upset here in the most recent series meeting. That should provide plenty of motivation for the Magic, who are 19-8 ATS on the season when playing with "revenge." Look for them to return the favor with another convincing victory in front of the home fans.


Taking Orlando!
Good luck!











Charlotte Bobcats at Memphis Grizzlies


Memphis does not play all that aggressively and are whistled for 20 fouls per game. Note, however, that Charlotte is 2-10 ATS in road games versus teams who are called for 21 or less fouls/game this season. Memphis is won just 2 times in their past 14 games, but this is a great opportunity for them to win BB games for the first time since February 12th.

Taking Memphis (+2)!
Good luck!











New York Knicks at Indiana Pacers

Both, New York and Indiana are struggling. The Pacers have dropped five of their last six games, while the Knicks have lost eight of its last nine. Indiana has won and covered the spread in five of the last six meetings against New York and has taken 10 of the last 13 meetings at home. Go with the Pacers. Indiana is playing poorly, but should be able to beat the sorry Knicks tonight. New York is 7-25 on the road this season, just 4-15 in its last 19 against Indiana at Conseco Fieldhouse.

Taking Indiana!
Good luck!
