The Bucks are now ranked 26th in the NBA in field goal percentage at 43.3 percent and 21st in 3 pt shooting. Worst of all, the Bucks are 2-4 straight up and a dreadful 0-6 ATS here at home during this 10-game stretch. 
The Hawks had their issues on the road earlier this season mainly due to poor shooting, such as one memorable 97-58 loss at Chicago where only a late lay-up prevented Atlanta from setting an all-time franchise low for points in a game. However the Hawks have turned the corner away from home as of late as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six road contests, and they have actually topped 100 points in each of their last five road affairs. That even includes the one non-cover during this sudden road success, as the Hawks managed to score 103 points vs. the best scoring defense in the NBA in a 114-103 loss at Indiana. 
The Hawks are playing the second game of a back-to-back after hosting Sacramento, but that is now really a concern because they are 34-16-1 ATS in their last 51 games playing with no days rest. The Bucks are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games vs. the Eastern Conference.

CP74 5-2

ATL Hawks +4 1/2

Actually went 5-1 last night with a NBA parley & a NHL/NBA parley!! 

I love your post man! they're always VERY INFORMATIVE and have been winning lately  keep up the good work sir!

HAHAHA PACO IT'S NOT THAT DIFFICULT I PROMISE!! don't over complicate things..

whatever team you like.. put their city/state name in capital letters and abbreviate it.. then put their team name right after.. for example your picks should look like this
 
HOU Rockets -1.5
IND Pacers -4
MIA Heat -7.5

see the difference?? abbreviate the first part and spell out the 2nd part as so.. i won't even get into formatting over/unders lol.. for another day.

Hey guys been reading this thread for quite a while now thought i'd join in on all the action.

KrishBreezy 0-0
CLE Cavaliers +12.5
OKC Thunder -9
POR Trailblazers -2
GS Warriors -1.5

Mia playing its 4th game in 5 nights and on a b2b against cle(also on b2b) who have been playing well as of late
OKC should be back on track and winning by 10 here (this is gonna be a close ats win)
I dont see Min matching up well against gsw and line has too much value to pass up
Trailblazers play better at home and want that W badly

also if i could request if some could post their thoughts earlier as well. Im not from the US so our lines close waay early (between 10 to 11 am eastern) it would be a big help in making picks. thanks and BOL to all

Boston is playing their 4th road game of a 5 game road trip that began Tuesday vs Denver where they lost but covered, then vs a tough match up in the Lakers on a back to back which they gave up 36 in the first and battled the whole game staying within 5-10 pts until they ran out of gas near they end. PHX on Friday was an easy win even with Garnett resting. Portland's defense is allowing a whopping 107.8 pts/gm in their last 5 games and had just lost to PHX at home on Tuesday 102-98. Boston has been playing well without Rondo offensively and defensively allowing only 92.2 pts/gm. in their last 5. Boston is 1-2 on this road trip and cant afford to go 1-3, as they have a tough one tomorrow vs Utah before heading home to face the Warriors on Friday, and need to keep their distance from the 8th seed in the East (currently 2 1/2 games up and no one wants to face King James in the first round!) 

Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a SU win, 
4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a SU win of more than 10 points and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. West and 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Northwest.
Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. 2-8 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a S.U. loss. 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Eastern Conference and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 1-8-1 ATS in their last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Portland is 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest.

CP74    6-2 

BOS Celtics +2

I don’t expect many fireworks when two of the slowest teams in the NBA get together Sunday night as Memphis (36-18, 31-22-1 ATS) pay a visit to the Brooklyn (33-23, 25-28-3 ATS).  As you might expect given the styles of these teams, the 'under' is 31-22-1 in all Memphis games this season and 31-24-1 in all Brooklyn games, and there is really no reason to expect anything  different here.
The Nets literally play at the slowest tempo in the league, ranking dead last in pace rating at 90.7 poss/gm. That helps explain how a defense that is ranked 26th in both field goal percentage against and in 3pt defense can be ranked 5th in the league in pts against at only 95.1/gm. Yes, Brooklyn did quicken its tempo for a while immediately after P.J. Carlesimo replaced the fired coach Avery Johnson, but the Nets have leveled off and have now gone back to playing their more plodding style. As a result, they are 19th in scoring at 95.6 pts/gm, although in addition to their pace, the fact that the Nets are 21st in FG% at 44.1 percent and 16th in 3pt shooting does not help their scoring average either. Furthermore, while the Nets would have enough trouble scoring points vs. Memphis while at full strength, note that Joe Johnson did not dress for Friday's home loss to the Houston Rockets due to a sore heel and that Deron Williams tweaked his ankle during that game. Both players are questionable for this contest.
The Grizzlies have the fourth best record in the Western Conference and the 5th best in the entire NBA, and their defense is second in the league in pts against at a mere 89.9/gm. Now, Memphis does grade out better  than the Nets percentage wise defensively, ranking 10th in FG% against and 15th in 3pt defense. Those rankings are still not as good as you would expect for a team allowing less than 90pts/gm though, and again, the reason is because the Grizzlies are 3rd from the bottom in pace rating with 91.9 possessions. Memphis even grades out worse than Brooklyn does offensively, ranking a dismal 27th in points scored at 93.7/gm, 22nd in FG%  at 44.1% and 24th in 3pt shooting. Like the Nets, the Grizzlies improved offensively for a while immediately after a major event, which in the Grizzlies' case was the Rudy happy trade, only to revert back to early season form as of late. Memphis has won three straight games and the last two wins have been by the identical score of 88-82, which was a typical score for the Grizzlies for much or the year before the trade.
The 'under' is 21-7 in the Grizzlies' last 28 games vs. the Eastern Conference and 19-8-1 in their last 28 road games vs. teams with winning home records.  Grizzlies are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Atlantic and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.
The 'under' is also 7-3 in the last 10 Nets' games following a double-digit home loss. Nets are 4-12-1 ATS in their last 17 Sunday games. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference. Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 day rest. Nets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games. Nets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Southwest.

i feel cleveland SHOULD be ok, as that is ALOT Of points! but i can't bet against the king right now..
OKC -9 also a lot of points for a bulls team that can hang close.. i like to monitor line movements right up until game time.. so if thunder went up to 9.5 i'd like them... if spread dropped i'd stay away.. over 70% public on OKC, line shouldn't drop too much at all.
i personally feel GS might be a sucker bet (kinna like HOU-WASH yesterday).. roughly 80+% on a 2 point favorite? if line drops imma hit it..
and blazers is a toss up.. i like the celtics to win, CP74 had good reasons for it.. but blazers hold home court well.. but ya your sportsbook closing lines early doesn't allow me to watch lines like i like too.. so makes it tough, but i wish you luck sir.. IMO.. i feel like CLE or OKC your best bet.. if GS goes up to -3.. that'd be good for you too. BOS- POR not sure bout that one.. but good luck man!
