7* PLAY ON LA Clippers @ Memphis Grizzlies Over

Based on pace of play calculations this game should easily eclipse the 200 point total as Memphis and L.A. combine to score at a minimum 210. The Grizzlies recently hired Lionel Hollins to replace since departed head coach Marc Iavaroni and the first thing Hollins did was change the Grizzlies offensive philosophy. Memphis now looks for easy baskets in transition with speedy point guard Conley pushing the ball (averaging 7 assists per game last four) up the court. Just by looking at the Grizzlies pace of play and point production and you can see the difference. In their last four games the Grizz have scored 102, 98, 113 and 104 points. Prior to that, they had topped 100 points just 3 times in their last 20 games which included a streak of 10 straight games without topping the century point. In their last four games (all overs) the Grizzlies have attempted 75 or more shots every game. Memphis has shot over 49% their last three games and have scored 28 or more points in 8 of their last 16 quarters of play. The LA Clippers haven’t had much success stopping anyone this season as they’ve allowed 100 or more points in 14 of their last nineteen games. The Clippers defense has been atrocious of late allowing 125, 119, 106 and 112 their last four games. On the road its worse yet as the Clippers have given up 100 plus points in 12 of their last 13 games. We’ll also need L.A. to score in this game to reach 200 or more points but that shouldn’t be a big problem as Baron Davis and Zach Randolph both have a couple games under their belts after being injured and they will contribute tonight on the offensive end of the floor. Bet this game OVER the total.

Burns NBA

UNDER oklahoma city/portland

Game: Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Game Time: 2/6/2009 8:05:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on Portland and Oklahoma City to finish UNDER the total. Recent results have most expecting a shootout and have provided us with excellent value. It's true that the Thunder come off back to back to back high-scoring games. However, a closer look shows that those games came against Denver and Sacramento. The Nuggets have one of the best offenses in the league and a defense that ranks below the league average. The Kings give up the second most points in the league, only the Warriors allow more. In other words, both those teams tend to play a lot of high-scoring games. Tonight, however, the Thunder will face a much better defensive team. The Blazers did uncharacteristically give up 104 at Dallas last time out. However, in their defense, they held the Hornets to 89 points in their previous game and they limited Charlotte to a mere 74 points, less than a week ago. Overall, the Blazers are allowing 94.8 points per game, the eighth best mark in the league. While these teams have yet to play each other this season, the Blazers have seen the UNDER go 5-2 when matched up against divisional opponents this season. Those games averaged 193.3 points, just slightly more than the 192.2 combined points which their road games have produced for the season. Like most teams, the Thunder play better defense at home. However, unlike most teams, they've scored fewer points here at home than they do on the road. That's led to 15 of their 26 home games finishing below the number, with those games averaging 196.9 points. That includes the UNDER producing a 5-1 mark when the Thunder have been listed as home underdogs in the 3.5 to 6 range. The UNDER was 6-1 the last seven games between the Sonics and the Blazers and I look for the first game between the Blazers and Thunder to also produce fewer points than most are expecting. *Blue Chip
LA CLIPPERS

Game: Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies Game Time: 2/6/2009 8:05:00 PM Prediction: Los Angeles Clippers Reason: I'm taking the points with the LA CLIPPERS. Very few will are willing to back the Clippers right now meaning that the majority of the betting public will be playing the Grizzlies in this one. That's given us excellent value with what figures to be a highly motivated visitor. Why would I expect the Clippers be "motivated?" For starters, they're looking to avenge a loss suffered here earlier this season. More importantly, they'd desperately like to snap their lengthy losing streak and they know that this game offers their best chance to do so. Yes, the Grizzlies have been more competitive since Hollins took over and are coming off back to back victories. They didn't suddenly become a "good" team overnight though and they're just 1-4 SU/ATS the last five times that were listed as home favorites in the +3.5 to +6 range. While the Clippers, who have been plagued by injuries, are slowly getting healthier, the Grizzlies are expected to be without Lowry, the team leader in assists. With the Grizzlies scheduled to play at Toronto tomorrow night, its worth noting that they're 0-4 SU/ATS the last four times that they played the front end of back to back games. Look for the Clippers to give their hosts all that they can handle here with the Grizzlies falling to 8-16-1 ATS the last 25 times that they were coming off a double-digit victory. *Annihilator
PACERS

Game: Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers Game Time: 2/6/2009 7:05:00 PM Prediction: Indiana Pacers Reason: I'm taking the points with INDIANA. We're getting some extra line value on the Pacers here due to the fact that they played yesterday, while the Magic had the day off. Playing the second of back to back games can be difficult. However, in this case, the back to back situation isn't likely to be as big a factor as it can be, at times. That's because this will still be just Indiana's third game through the first six days of February. On the other hand, even though they had yesterday off, the Magic will be playing their fourth game already this month. Additionally, note that the Pacers have played four home games, after having played the previous day, so far this season. They won three of those games outright (won by 31 combined points) and lost the other one by single-digits. Fighting to get back in the playoff race and playing with "triple revenge," the Pacers, who catch the Magic still adjusting to life without Jameer Neslson, should be extremely motivated. While they have yet to defeat Orlando, the Pacers have been at their best against the league's elite teams this season, having gone 15-9 ATS against teams with a winning record. Note that while the Pacers were blown out in the two games at Orlando, the game here at Indiana was decided by just two points, in overtime. Looking back further and we find that the Pacers are 13-7 the last 20 times that they hosted the Magic and that only one of the seven losses was by greater than six points, which was way back in 2003. Additionally, note that the Pacers are a profitable 18-10 ATS when playing with "revenge" this season. It's true that the Magic have been excellent on the road. However, the Pacers have already defeated both the Lakers and the Celtics on this floor

Game: Brown Bears @ Dartmouth Big Green - Friday February 6, 2009 7:00 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) ATS: Dartmouth Big Green +1 (-110) (Play of the Day)

The Big Green Baby! We will ride the Big Green today for our 5th college basketball winner in a row as we look to go a perfect 5-0 this week en route to my 11th Golden Week of my career (7-0). I love Ivy League Basketball. Many a times because of a tough non-conference schedules, a teams SU win record is not indicative of how good a team really is. Such is the case with Dartmouth who has played some very tough games throughout this year which has prepped them well for conference play. Yes, Dartmouth has 4 wins but once again this is completely irrelevant of the fact that are in a nice spot to win Outright here tonight at home against Brown. Keep in mind Dartmouth was young last year and they were swept by the hands of Brown. So, undoubtedly they have revenge from that contest. On top of that, let's not forget this is the same Dartmouth team that just beat top 235 Penn at home by 3. This is the same Dartmouth team that went on the highway to shock Harvard and beat them in Overtime who is a top 250 school (the same school that lost to Bama by 3 on the road). Brown has lost all 4 conference games this year while Dartmouth is actually is actually 2-2 in conference play. Dartmouth has played a brutal non-conference schedule such as Providence, Vermont and California which has prepped them nice for conference play. If Dartmouth can defeat the likes of Harvard on the road and UPenn at home, they can certainly get it done over Brown today with revenge. We took St. Peters on Monday as we snuck in for the cover, we took San Diego State Outright on tuesday over UNLV, Indiana Outright against Iowa at home on Wednesday, The Citadel Outright over App. State on Thursday and for Friday, let's take the Big Green to win Outright at home against Dartmouth. The Brown Bears are just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games and 1-4 ATS against the Ivy of late while the Big Green is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 against the Ivy and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Come on, I know you want to say it, "Big Green tonight Baby!"

Good luck,

Indian Cowboy.

Game: Utah Jazz @ Sacramento Kings - Friday February 6, 2009 10:05 pm
Pick: 4 unit(s) ATS: Sacramento Kings +2.5 (-110) (Play of the Day)

Let's go 4-1 on the week in the NBA and secure our 7th Straight Winning Week in the NBA with this selection as we are making shock waves in this industry. It amuses me when folks think that you cannot win in Hoops or win in the long run - all that means they are falling for the wrong touts and their ridiculous hype of the Game of the Centuries. I say that as we come off a 65% January, 6 straight NBA winning weeks and 4 of 5 winning college weeks (secured yesterday). Well, I don't have Game of the Centuries and the Game of my Life's etc...If one is good, then they can make standard plays, even do flat betting. I have Research and Hard work - that's the premise of any success full cat in any successful field. I'm not the only one, there are a few who are sincerely hard working and good in this field - we comprise about 3% in this industry. As per the Kings today, I think they win outright. If you noticed, I took the Jazz to beat the Mavs yesterday as I believed injuries and all they get it done. Remember, the Mavs' win over the Magic was only because Jameer Nelson was banged up. Heck, I actually think that the Magic lose Outright tonight at Indiana as the Pacers end up getting it done. But, I don't want to go against the Magic despite the fact I think they are in for a shock wave of their own in a tight game against the Pacers who have revenge and come home after a road loss. As per this game, look the Kings got a gut check after a 40 point loss to the Suns on the road. They were embarrassed and they only lost to the Jazz by a few points at home last time. This team is still made up of professionals who will come out strong today. Don't forget this is the same Kings team that beat the Lakers at home in ARCO and the Warriors on the road Outright. The Jazz are a different team on the road away from home without Boozer. This team lost to the Thunder in a blowout fashion for the most part in that game, lost to the Rockets, lost to the Mavs and Denver - many of those games by over 15-20 points on the highway. There is no reason that Kevin Martin cannot go off today like he did when he played nearly 50 minutes against OKC scoring 37 points, assisted by Beno, Salmons, Garcia, Thompson and Hawes. This is a bit of a homer pick in some ways, but I think with over 80% favoring the Jazz here and the Kings coming off one of the worst losses of this year and in franchise history, they are a decent play returning to ARCO with revenge here. The Jazz are 0-4 ATS playing on 0 days rest as they are a bit banged up and it shows in back to back games and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these two squads

Friday NBA Opinions

L.A. Clippers (+4 ½) over MEMPHIS
The Clippers shouldn’t be as bad now that they have Zach Randolph and Marcus Camby back in the lineup, but they’ve still been blownout in their last few games. However, Memphis is a team that they should be able to compete with and the Clippers apply to a solid 68-25 ATS situation that plays on teams on long losing streaks. My ratings favor Memphis by just 3 ½ points and I’ll lean with the Clippers at +4 points or more.

Portland (-6) over OKLAHOMA CITY
Portland applies to a very strong 49-2-3 ATS road favorite bounce-back situation tonight and my ratings favor the Blazers by 6 points, but Oklahoma City has covered the spread in 12 of their last 13 home games and 10 straight as a home dog. I’ll still lean with the Blazers based on the very strong situation.

Friday College Opinion

St. Peter’s (+16 ½) over NIAGARA
St Peter’s is 8-1-1 ATS since the beginning of 2009 and the Peacocks tend to play their best on the road under coach John Dunne (20-11 ATS, including 5-0 recently). Niagara is an inconsistent team that is coming off a couple of impressive road wins, but the Purple Eagles are just 1-15 ATS at home off consecutive conference wins and only 9-17 ATS as a double-digit home favorite. My ratings favor Niagara by 16 ½ points, but using conference games only yields a fair price of just 13 points and I’ll lean with St. Peter’s at +16 or more

5-Unit Play – NBA Game of the Week – Take Atlanta/Charlotte UNDER

There has been some line movement in this game since we posted the pick and the line has dropped near 180 at most betting shops. We recommend playing this as a 5-unit pick all the way down to 179 but if it goes lower than that we recommend backing off a couple units. It will be graded as we have it listed, as is the case with all our picks no matter which way the line moves. We had this game capped at 177 These teams have played two low scoring games this season. The last meeting between these teams reached only 162 and the one before that reached only 171. The Bobcats have one of the best home defenses in the NBA and they also have one of the worst offenses. They have done so well against the spread and for the under this season because Coach Larry Brown realized what kind of team he had and implemented a system where the game is slowed down and they play solid D in order to keep the game close and have a chance to win in the end. They will be without their top scorer again, Gerald Wallace, who is nursing multiple injuries. They are also missing a couple other key playmakers. This team, however, is No. 5 in the NBA in points allowed and we expect them to play some solid D tonight. The Hawks have been scoring a lot lately but they have played some porous defenses. Whenever they go on the road, however, against top defenses they really struggle to get to the basket. They scored 79 at Miami, 87 at Orlando, 87 at Miami, 89 at San Antonio and 84 at Houston in what we would consider their last five road games against tough home defenses. They could also be missing Joe Johnson and his team-leading 21.5 PPG and 6.2 assists per game as he is listed as questionable. Four of the last five meetings between these clubs have gone under the posted number.

We’ll also need L.A. to score in this game to reach 200 or more points but that shouldn’t be a big problem as Baron Davis and Zach Randolph both have a couple games under their belts after being injured and they will contribute tonight on the offensive end of the floor. Bet this game OVER the total.As of Thursday night quite a few NBA lines aren’t even posted so I will be adding picks to this website later in the day on Friday after I’ve had enough time to properly research them. Be sure to check back here for any additional NBA winners from me.

8* Play On: Tonight we side with the OVER 183 in the Toronto Raptors vs. New Orleans Hornets game.

In scouring through the nation’s sports sections this morning I came across this quote from Hornets head coach Byron Scott.“We have to figure out what way we want to play. I know which way I want to play -- I want to be an aggressive, fast-break basketball team," Scott said. "I want to run up and down the floor and put a lot of pressure on teams. If they want to slow it down, I don't think we'll be as successful."OK coach Scott I agree 100% with your game plan and I expect you to carry through with this quote. Actually, I don’t put a lot of stock into what the coach is saying about tonight’s game but I’m more inclined to trust what the statistics have to say and they’re telling me to bet the OVER. If you’ve purchased from me before you know how well my Totals perform and how strong my math-model works predicting Over/Unders and tonight it projects this game to have 194 total points. Granted the two team’s respective leading scorers (Paul & Bosh) aren’t playing but the line adjustment was still too great. Bench players for each team will step up tonight and someone invariably will pick up the scoring void left by Bosh and Paul. Both teams are in the top 15 in offensive efficiency with New Orleans ranking 9th and Toronto 15th. Surprisingly the Hornets are 28th in the league in pace of play but they are still in the top 10 in ‘O’ efficiency. Speaking of pace of play, the Bugs have attempted 78 or more shots in four straight games and that trend should continue tonight. In 13 of their last seventeen games the Hornets and their opponents have scored 183 or more total points including 7 of their last nine at home. Tonight’s Total is the second lowest number Vegas has posted on a Hornets game in their last 17.Toronto has allowed 93 or more points in 16 of their last eighteen games and 18 of their last twenty-three have resulted in more than 183 total points. 11 of their last fourteen road games have also resulted in 183 or more points. If we eliminate the Raptors first 7 games of the season, only ONCE has Vegas posted a Total on their games less than 183. So even without Chris Paul or Chris Bosh we still expect a higher scoring game between the Raptors and Hornets on Friday evening. Play OVER the Total

Orlando Magic vs. Indiana Pacers
Pick: Orlando Magic -6.5

Conseco Fieldhouse will be the site of tonight’s Eastern Conference clash between the host Indiana Pacers and the visiting Orlando Magic. The Pacers are playing the second of back-to-back games in which they played in Philly last night and lost 99 to 94. Orlando hasn’t played since Wednesday and they won that game at home over the Clippers 125 to 96.

The Pacers have lost three straight losing on January 31 to New York at home 122 to 113 on February 3 to Minnesota 116 to 111 at home and then on the road last night at Philly 99 to 94. Over their last five games the Pacers are 2-3 SU and 2-2 ATS averaging 107.8 points per game on 44.5 percent shooting and allowing 107.8 points per game on 46.5 percent from the field.

With the Pacers struggling on the defensive end of the floor makes our selection on the Magic that much easier because we know that Orlando is 21-1 ATS when they score 105 or more points in a game this season. The fact that the Pacers are averaging 107 points per game helps with our selection on the Magic as they are 12-3 ATS where both teams score 98 or more points in a game this season.

Another key to our selection tonight is the fact that the Pacers play an up-tempo style and average 83+ shots per game, the Magic are 12-1 ATS versus up-tempo teams averaging 83 or more shots per game this season.

There has been some concern for Orlando since the loss of guard Jameer Nelson who is sidelined indefinitely with a torn labrum in his right shoulder but backup guard Anthony Johnson filled in nicely with 25 points and rookie Courtney Lee added another 21 in Orlando’s win over the Clippers.

Orlando has won and covered the three previous meetings between these two teams this season and we have two NBA Systems that indicate they will get winner number four tonight. The first says to Play AGAINST NBA underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging 2 straight losses of 10 points or more, playing on back-to-back days, 43-16 ATS the last five years. The last one tells us to Play AGAINST NBA home teams revenging a loss where their opponent scored 110 or more points after a cover as a double digit favorite, 63-33 ATS since 1996.

Our Team Performance Ratings Index indicates the Magic have a 9.7 point advantage in tonight’s contest. Our Math Model Ratings Index projects a Magic ATS win by a 5 to 7.5 point margin over the current line of 6.5 points.

Orlando qualifies in two of our strongest NBA Statistical Indicators that have posted records of 23-5 ATS and 62-25 ATS this season. Both Indicators project a Magic win well above the 6.5 point number the linesmakers have posted for tonight’s game.

With significant fundamental, situational, technical and historical support we will back the visitor here as the Magic continue their SU and ATS dominance over this Pacers team on Friday night in Conseco Fieldhouse.

PROJECTED FINAL SCORE: (5*) Orlando Magic 110 Indiana Pacers 92

Boston Celtics vs. New York Knicks
Pick:New York Knicks +6.5

Madison Square Garden will be the site of tonight’s Eastern Conference clash between the host New York Knicks and the visiting Boston Celtics. Boston is coming off an overtime loss last night at home to the LA Lakers 110 to 109. The Knicks last played on Wednesday night and they lost at home to the Cleveland Cavaliers 107 to 102 as a 5.5 point home puppy.

The Celtics are playing with revenge versus this Knicks team because their last visit here the Knicks defeated them 100 to 88 as a 10.5 point home underdog. Boston had defeated the Knicks eight straight prior to that January 4th game. This is a situation where the revenge factor may not outweigh the overtime loss to the Lakers last night and the fact they host the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday.

We found technical support with both teams involved in tonight’s contest. Boston going ‘over’ in their last game and now play with a line range of 4 to 6 points they are 67-97-6 ATS, if they are a favorite they are 29-50-3 ATS and if they are a road favorite their record is 4-13 ATS. The Celtics going ‘over’ in their last three games and now installed as a favorite they are 19-50-1 ATS. Boston after going ‘over’ in their last game and now a division favorite they are 5-16 ATS, a conference favorite they are 16-37-2 ATS and a road favorite they are 2-10 ATS. If the Celtics lost and went ‘over’ in their last game and now face a conference foe their record is 15-32-4 ATS, if they are an away favorite their record is 0-6 ATS.

The Knicks after playing at home their last two games and are now installed as a home underdog with a point range of 3 to 6 points are 12-3 ATS their last 15. If the Knicks lost straight up at home in their last game and are now an underdog they are 87-58-1 ATS and if they are playing at home their record is 31-14-1 ATS. The Knicks after playing their last two games at home and are now installed as a conference home underdog they are 9-1 ATS. If the Knicks lost their last game at home and now face a conference opponent they are 23-5-1 ATS.

New York qualifies in one of our NBA Statistical Indicators that has a record of 62-25 ATS. Our Team Performance Ratings Index indicates the Celtics only have a 2.2 point advantage in tonight’s game. Our Math Model Ratings Index projects a Knicks ATS win by 3 to 5 points with the current line at +6.5 points.

Boston has failed to cover their last three games and is only .500 ATS when playing on the road this season. The Knicks have posted an 8-5 record over their last thirteen games and has covered against the spread in nine of those contests.

With Boston in a big game sandwich and off a very disappointing loss to the Lakers we will back the host here as they keep this one close and possibly catch the Celtics in a flat spot. Take the points with New York in Madison Square Garden on Friday night.

PROJECTED TOTAL: 4* New York Knicks 104 Boston Celtics 106

Denver Nuggets vs. Washington Wizards
Pick:Denver Nuggets -7
