Morning Gents! Last night was great, going 5-1 [image from unapproved source] and setting the tone for the week. Let's keep the drive alive and smash these books!
Here's the card for today's slate.
Philly 1Q (Line is not out yet but will likely be a p/k) The 6ers are currently 3rd in the league (behind Houston and GS) in first quarter scoring, averaging 28.9 points, 34 points average in the last 3 games and 43 points in their last game on the road in Milwaukee. I don't trust them enough to back them FG on the road but 1st Quarter should be an easy pick up.
Houston -5 The Rockets are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games, 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games against a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Flipside, the Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games, 1-6 ATS in their last seven games against a team with a winning record and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall... Head to head, the Rockets are 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Oklahoma City. The Thunder have been playing some decent ball but this chalk seems to low to not bank on Houston, who has won 15 in a row and is in a revenge spot since they lost to OKC by 5 on Christmas day. I'll take the Beard.
Rip City -9.5 The Knicks have lost 12 of their last 13 games and 10 of their last 12 road games... The Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games, 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Flipside, the Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall. Head to head, the Knicks are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Portland, 3-8 ATS in the last 11 meetings and the favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings...
Portland is on a b2b and did have to play lights out last night to get a W vs the Lakers... BUT! If you've been following my threads, you KNOW I LOOOOOVE fading the Knicks. The Knicks that have failed to cover 10 out of the last 11 games. The Knicks that are allowing nearly 118 points on 50 percent shooting in their last five games. Blazers are playing their best ball of the season and want that 3 seed bad. Rip City by DD.
Pels +3 The Pels have been on FIRE shipping 8 straight wins and 5 straight wins on the road. The Clips have been in good form as well, shipping 11 of their last 15 and are on a 2 game win streak. The Pels are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games, 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against a team with a winning record and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. Flipside, the Clippers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight home games, 17-7-1 ATS in their last 25 games following a win and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall... Head to head, the Pels are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 meetings in LA.
The Pels have covered in each of their last 5 road games while AD and Holiday continue to play out of their minds. The Clips actually need this win to stay in contention for that 8th seed but the 4th place Pels are in super form and could very well end up winning this thing SU.
