Facing quality opposition, the Kings have struggled of late. Most recently, they were blown out by Miami on Saturday. Stepping down in class and with the schedule in their favor, this game provides an opportunity to get back on track.

Now 37-17 my last 54 NBA selections, I successfully played against the Cavaliers last night. As I had hoped, they got blown out by a desperate Laker team.
Kyrie Irving commented ...
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
"...they did a great job of containing me and everybody on the team. We just got punched in the mouth in the first quarter. We just didn't have that fight in the first quarter, and it kind of killed us the rest of the game.''
Note that the Cavs have only one win in 11 tries this season, when playing the second of back-to-back games. Six of those 10 losses came by a minimum of seven points.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While its true that the starters didn't see extremely heavy minutes last night, (Irving was the only to play more than 30 mins) I still see this being a fairly difficult scheduling spot.
The Cavs will be playing their third game in four days and their seventh game since 1/4. That's quite a busy stretch of games for a young struggling team which is thousands of miles away from home. I won't be surprised if it catches up with them a bit here.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Irving, who has been "under the weather" recently, is a talented and exciting player. However, Cleveland clearly misses Varejao.
The Kings recently won (97-94 on 1/2) at Cleveland and they're now 8-2 ATS the last 10 in the series.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
While the Cavs are now 5-18 on the road, the Kings can climb back above the .500 mark at home with a win. Knowing they've got Washington on deck after this, the Kings are aware that this this is their chance to build some momentum. I expect their best effort. Consider laying the points.

LBJ finally “got his ring” last year and it seems as if this year’s Miami team is waiting for the playoffs to turn up the ‘heat!’ The Heat do own the East’s best record at 24-11 but they are a very mediocre 8-8 on the road (6-10 ATS). Miami enters tonight’s game in Utah having gone 4-5 SU its last nine games, posting a woeful 2-7 ATS mark. Miami’s “Big 3” leads the way again, with LBJ averaging 25.8-8.3-6.9, Wade 20.4-4.5-4.3 and Bosh 18.0 & 7.4. Chalmers (7.7-3.4 APG) is not having a good season at PG and Haslem (3.6-5.2) has been nothing special as the team’s fifth starter. Allen’s (11.3) been an excellent addition (real value should show in the postseason) with Battier (6.1), Cole (4.6) and Miller (4.2) being the main contributors on a regular basis off the bench.

I really liked Utah’s off-season additions, Mo Williams and Randy Foye from the Clippers and Marvin Williams from the Hawks. Mo Williams (12.9-6.7 APG) has been excellent but he’s missed the last 11 games with thumb surgery and won’t be back soon. Marvin Williams (8.9-3.5) has been reasonably healthy but has missed the last three games with knee issues and is no better than questionable for tonight’s tilt. Foye (11.1) has been the only one of Utah’s trio to be a constant. The Jazz’s key performers are the team’s inside duo of Jefferson (17.2-9.8) and Millsap (14.9-7.7). Hayward (12.9) has been very good at SG or SF plus Favors (8.8-6.3) is finding Salt Lake city to his liking. Kanter (6.3-4.2) and Carroll (5.3-3.4) are two more solid big men plus veteran PG Tinsley has stepped in during Mo Williams’ absence and played OK. He had averaged 5.9 PPG and 6.0 APG in 10 straight games before playing just six minutes in Saturday’s comeback win at Detroit due to an illness (listed as probable in this one).

Utah is 11-4 SU (10-5 ATS) at home this season, including a PERFECT 3-0 mark as a home dog. The Jazz have taken six straight home matchups against Eastern Conference foes dating to last season and are 39-7 in such games since February 2009. I realize Miami is not just a typical Eastern Conference team but I’m taking the home dog.

Sacramento is not a good team by any means. But Monday night sees them drawing a favorable matchup against an even worse team, Cleveland, who I played against in this space last night as they failed to cover against the Lakers. The Kings recently beat the Cavaliers, in Cleveland 97-94 and pretty much led most of the way. The setup here is advantageous to the home team.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Sacramento was also blown out in its most recent game, but that was against the Heat. There probably won't be a more severe drop in class for the Kings from game to game then there is here as they now host a Cleveland team that doesn't win too often. The Kings are 0-4 SU/ATS their last four games. But this is a respectable team at home, where they are 10-10 straight up this season. This is the most points Sacramento has been favored by in a game this season. They are 6-1 ATS off three consecutive home losses the last three seasons.
FOR THE LARGEST SELECTION OF FREE SERVICE PLAYS VISIT THESPREAD.COM
Cleveland is without rest, which is key. The Cavs' defense is poor, allowing 112 or more points in three of the past five contests. Last time playing without rest, the team lost by eight to Houston. This will also be their third game in four nights. Playing on back to back days this year, the Cavs are 5-7 ATS. This is a rare instance of being able to lay a short number against a bad team.

Charlotte is 9-27 SU and 14-22 ATS; it's coming off three straight losses, including a 96-88 setback at Indiana as an 11.5 point underdog on the 12th. Shoddy defensive play has been to blame for the Bobcats run of futility as they've allowed their last three opponents to make at least 10 3-pointers while allowing them to hit almost 43% from behind the arc.

What to expect: A sharper offensive effort from the T'Wolves after shooting a miserable 37% in a 106-88 loss to the Spurs last night. Alexey Shved and Ricky Rubio combined to go 0-for-13 from the field in the loss. Shved averages double-figures in scoring on the season, while it's only a matter of time before Rubio has a breakout game. This looks like an ideal spot against a Mavs team that's 'fat and happy' off...back-to-back wins, and holding the Grizzlies to 83 points on Saturday. Keep in mind, Memphis was in a letdown spot of its own on that night, fresh off an overtime win over the Spurs on Friday. Dallas is by no means a strong defensive team, having allowed nearly 103 points per game on the season. The Mavs are an improving bunch offensively, however. Dirk Nowitzki is quietly rounding back into form, and they'll shoot for their third straight 100+ point performance on Monday night. I'm confident they'll get it against a T'Wolves team that isn't stopping anyone. Minnesota has allowed at least 102 points in five consecutive games. The most recent meeting in this series produced 220 points by way of overtime, but still reached 204 points in regulation time. The 'over' is 3-1 in the last four meetings, and that trend will continue tonight.

Atlanta has lost five of it's last six, and the Hawks have struggled offensively in the month of January. Atlanta had averaged 98 points per game during the first two months of the season, but that average is down to just 90 points per game in January. If the Hawks hope to break out of their scoring slump tonight, they will have to do it against the league's 3rd best defense, Chicago is allowing an average of just 92.3 points per game.

Atlanta is 0-4 in Chicago since 2011, and they were 1-3 ATS in those four losses. The one occasion that Atlanta did cover the points, it was as a 9.5 point underdog, more than double the spread in tonight's game.

The Hawks have failed to cover the points in five of their last six games overall, and it doesn't seem likely that is a streak that will end tonight. While Chicago is just .500 at home so far this year, with a better record on the road, it would be logical to assume that these numbers will correct themselves by season's end.

The Grizzlies are coming off a tough loss in Dallas where the Mavs put a 21 point beating down on them. However, good teams normally bounce back from games like that. In fact, if a team is outscoring their opponents by 3+ ppg on the year after a blowout loss by 15 loins or more they are 113-67 ATS over the last five years in the next game. Memphis is 13-4 ATS against teams with a winning record this season and a perfect 7-0 ATS against teams that have won 70% of their games.

The Clippers have been solid all year long, but are coming off a pair of non-covers, including an outright loss to Orlando on Saturday as a 13.5 point favorite. I think Memphis will be out for revenge since LA won by nine in the first matchup back in late October so I'm laying the small number here with the Grizzlies.

Weber St -12½
Weber St is on top of the Big Sky conference and should have their way here tonight against a Mediocre Idaho St team that is 0-10 straight up and to the spread vs good defensive team that allow 65 or less. Weber St is exceptional Defensively and have held all of their last 4 opponents to less than 38% shooting from the field. This will spell trouble for an Idaho St team that has lost and failed to cover all 3 times vs winning teams this season. Weber St comes in off 6 straight wins and will no doubt shoot much better than they did in their last game managing just 39%. This spells a long night for Idaho St. Lay the points with Weber Tonight.

Last night in Vegas the line opened at -3 1/2, but was quickly taken up to -4 Atlanta. And, rightly so as in their initial meeting in December the Hawks (21-15) smashed the Bulls 92-75. In that encounter the Hawks out rebounded the Bulls (20-15) 45-31 controlling the tempo. On Monday, Chicago enters this battle 10-10 SU at home, Atlanta 9-9 SU on the road. The Bulls will be without Derrick Rose again (ACL), so an improved effort from Luol Deng is imperative after the talented star looked horrible against the Suns last time out. That’s a Phoenix defense that gives up almost 100 points per game. In their last 6 games the Hawks are 1-5 SU & ATS, 0-4 SU on the road. The chalk in the series has taken 5 of 7 ATS..In what should a very close game, Chicago 99 Atlanta 98.

Louisville vs. UConn
Play: UConn
UConn (9-0) at home are built to handle pressure defenses like the Louisville Cardinal implement to make life miserable for their opponents. UConn comes off an impressive upset of Notre Dame, and instead of being in a letdown situation, will instead feed on the positive momentum garned from the above mentioned tilt, and possibly pull off another upset. It must be noted that UConn also has revenge in tap here tonight, as they look to get even for a 80-59 loss in last season’s lone meeting. Key Trend: Huskies are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

Baylor +11
Over the last few years I have been high on Baylor and they have often disappointed. Still it is hard not to like this team with a veteran backcourt and enough size and skill up front to bother Kansas center Jeff Withey. Their backcourt is little slight compared to KU which will present matchup problems on both sides of the floor for both teams. The Bears won at Kentucky and played Gonzaga tough on the road, neither of those are friendly environments so they shouldn’t be intimidated. They just need a solid start to put the pressure on. The Bears are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 at Kansas. Road teams are 13-1 ATS in the series.
