3 Unit Play. #505 Take Cleveland -2 over Indiana
Indiana hasn't beaten Cleveland since Nov. of 2006. Two of the Cavaliers' wins during their run against the Pacers have been on the road, where they have won 2 straight and 9 of 13 overall. The Indiana Pacers have lost 6 of their last 7 at home, giving up 108.6 points per game.
7 Unit Play. #514 Take Phoenix -3½ over LA Lakers
All trends point to the LA Lakers in this game but I do believe that Phoenix has had this game circled way before the big trade to bring in Shaq. The Lakers have beaten the Suns twice already this season so revenge is on the minds in Phoenix. This game will be Shaq’s first game in a Suns uniform so expect a huge home crowd advantage tonight. Lakers played last night but most of the starters took the 4th quarter off as LA beat up Atlanta. This is the first game for Phoenix since the All-Star break so expect a well-rested Suns team tonight. The Suns have won 3 out of 4 heading into the All-Star break. Phoenix wins this game tonight by 5 or 6 points.

Wunderdog NBA picks
Game: New York Knicks at Philadelphia
Pick: 3 units on New York Knicks +6.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
The Knicks still aren't putting many games in the win column, but have been doing so against the sub-.500 teams on the road on a regular basis. Since the first of the year the Knicks are 10-3-1 ATS on the road and that includes 4-1 SU and 5-0 ATS over the sub-.500 teams. On the season the Knicks margin on the road against sub-.500 teams is just -1.1 point per game! Philadelphia saw a five-game winning streak go up in flames on the road in Minnesota last night, and the Knicks won a momentum building thriller on the road in OT down in Washington. Like the Knicks in this spot as they have a shot to win this one, so we will take the points here.
Game: Detroit at Milwaukee
Pick: 3 units on Detroit -6 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
The Bucks limped into the All Star break losing seve of their last eight games including three straight at home. While they started a respectable 8-8, the Bucks have lost 26 of their last 33 games. Detroit was just the opposite, heading into the All Star break on a ten game winning streak. They lost to Orlando 103-85 on Tuesday to end that streak. It was an extremely embarrassing home defeat, losing by 18 points as a six point favorite. You can bet they are going to take out their frustrations on a defenseless Bucks team here. A team like Detroit doesn't take a loss like that lightly. The Pistons are 18-9 on the road this season and 15-11 ATS. Since last season they are 46-32 ATS on teh road including 27-13 ATS when the total is in the 180s. Detroit won the last game between these two and Milwaukee is just 17-30 ATS revenging a same-season loss the past two seasons. Detroit to roll here.
Game: Dallas at New Orleans
Pick: 3 units on New Orleans -2.5 (-110) (risk 3 to win 2.7)
The Mavs gave up a lot to get Jason Kidd. Will he pay off? We'll know come playoff time. For now, the Mavs have to face a stiff test in New Orleans. The Mavs are just 12-15 on the road this year (and 10-17 ATS) and they have lost their last three away from home. The Hornets are riding confidence thanks to their 17-8 home mark and 4-game winning streak. They will view this as a very important test and this arena should be rocking and the home players focused. It's a bigger game for New Orleans than for Dallas who has shown they really only care about the playoffs right now. Over the past two seasons, Dallas is 2-12 ATS vs. uptempo teams (those averaging 83+ shots per game). This season they are 1-10 ATS on the road vs. good free-throw shooting teams (those making 76%+). Hornets here.

Auburn vs. Tennessee
Pick: Tennessee Play
Ai Simulator 7* graded play on Tennessee – AiS shows an 88% probability that Tennessee will win this game by 20 or more points. AiS also shows that UT defense will be in full force tonight and that they have a 90% probability of getting at least 17 turnovers from Auburn ball handlers. Note that UT is 8-1 ATS in home games when they force 19 to 22 turnovers in a game over the last 2 seasons. AiS shows an 87% probability that UT will hit a minimum of 47% of their total shots and a minimum of 38% from 3-point territory. Note that they are 12-2 ATS when they make 38% to 45% of their three point attempts in a game over the last 2 seasons; 9-2 ATS when they make 47% to 53% of their shots in a game over the last 2 seasons. Auburn is coming off a big game against Ole Miss winning 90-78, hitting 62% from the field and over 50% from 3-point territory and were installed as a huge 12 point dog. Note that Auburn is 1-11 ATS in road games after a game where they made 50% of their 3 point shots or better since 1997. UT is in several strong roles for this game and I will note just 3 of them here. UT is 14-2 ATS in home games after 1 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons; 11-2 ATS in home games after 2 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 seasons; 12-3 ATS in home games after 3 or more consecutive wins over the last 3 seasons.
