When the Raiders meet the Ramblers in Chicago in this Horizon League hookup Friday evening Wright State will take the court in a highly desirable situation. That's because they are dogs against a team they've dominated, going 11-1 SU and 8-4 ATS the last twelve games in this series, including 4-0 SUATS when taking points. With WSU playing its best ball of the season with wins in 7 of its last 8 games, including each of the last four, we'll gladly grab the points here tonight. We recommend a 1-unit play on Wright State.

The Hawks have really been struggling lately so it's pretty easy to want to take the Jazz here tonight. Atlanta has lost four in a row both straight up and at the pay window by dropping games in Detroit, at home against Boston, in Minnesota, and at Cleveland. The Cavs loss was particularly devastating since it was by 16 points to a very sub-par team.

A solid system backs our play that says to go against home favorites after four or more straight losses when they are playing their 8th game in 14 days or less. This system is 142-88 since 1996. Plus, Atlanta is just 29-45 ATS as a home favorite the last three years.

Portland has covered 4 of the last 5 as a road dog of 5 or more with no rest and has started January hot winning 4 of the first 5 heading into last nights game with Miami.

The Blue Jays come into this game overvalued due to their 15-1 start, which includes their current nine-game winning streak.

If I had a vote for first half NBA Coach of the Year, it would go to Portland's Terry Stott. On paper, this is a mediocre lineup with no bench. But the Blazers have fought for the full 48 more often than not, and they're winning games. But this is a rough spot for Portland. They're off the big comeback win over Miami, and now have to face a Golden State squad off back to back losses for only the second time all season. The Warriors are a rousing 9-2 SU/ATS off a loss, and won and covered in the only previous off two losses spot. The points are substantial here, but if the Blazers are going to get blasted, it might well be here. I'll tab Golden State for tonight's free opinion.

We backed the Lakers in their easy cover but straight up loss at San Antonio on Wednesday night (lost by three points as a big 13-point road underdog), with the thinking that the loss of big men Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard would hurt the Lakers inside, but allow this team to play faster and keep up with the fast-paced Spurs offense. We don't like the side in this matchup, but with another fast-paced tempo offense in the Thunder in town tonight, we do look for another high-scoring affair. That Spurs matchup saw the final score hit a combined 213 points despite a slow offensive start from the Lakers. They'll start much faster here at home and we'll look for this one to sail over the high total.

We get a beatable price on Atlanta here here due to the current form of these two, which show the Jazz being warm with four wins in five games while the Hawks have dropped four straight. We just can’t get on board with this Jazz team on the road minus Mo Williams against a team that figures to be a little extra hungry for a win. Utah is 1-11 on the road this season against clubs above .500. Its lone win came in Brooklyn before the Avery Johnson firing. They’re also 1-5 versus the number in the past six against Atlanta.

The Hawks schedule has been rough in terms of travel with just two home games since Dec 30 so their mini-funk is excusable. Prior to losing four straight, the Hawks were still 20-10 overall and it’s only a matter of time before they catch fire again. The Hawks can spread the floor like few others in the league. They can also shoot the rock with the best of them and added another shooter to the mix recently in rookie John Jenkins. Jenkins drilled 15-of-22 shots last week, including 6-of-8 from three-point range. Coming off a lethargic 16-point loss in Cleveland, expect the Hawks to come out with lots more energy and focus. That should get us to the cashier’s window.

According to the RPI rankings, the Hornets have played the toughest schedule in the Association. With a 10-25 record, with that difficult schedule behind them, with the return of Eric Gordon and an incredibly stingy defense, New Orleans offers up tremendous value. They’ve now won three straight over Dallas, San Antonio and Houston. Those are three of the league’s highest scoring teams and the Hornets held them to 96, 88 and 79 points respectively.

The T-Wolves can’t get healthy. When one guy returns, another ends up in street clothes. The latest casualty is Kevin Love, out with a broken finger, and he joins J.J. Barea and a few others in the infirmary. Minnesota has dropped five of its past six road tilts and with the Spurs on deck at home Sunday, this is not a favorable spot or matchup for them. The Hornets are so much better than their record suggests and there’s a real sense of excitement and confidence surrounding them at the moment. Cheap price to pay for the league’s most underrated team.

The Knicks are getting a little too much respect here. Chicago has won each of the season's first two meetings. Looking back further, it has won three straight and six of seven in the series. It is also worth noting that the lone loss during this stretch came by a single point. The Knicks will be out for revenge for the 110-106 home loss they were handed by the Bulls last month, but history isn't in their favor. Fading home favorites that are out for revenge for a loss in which they gave up 110 points or more to their opponent, provided they are playing the second game of a back-to-back, has produced a 53-24 ATS mark the last 5 seasons. These teams have been favored by an average of 5.4 points but have won by just 2.4 points on average. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take the points.
