15 Dime: 76ERS (over Mavericks) ... NOTE: There is currently no line on this game, as there are some injury questions with the Mavs' (Dirk is probable; Josh Howard is doubtful) and 76ers (Elton Brand is questionable). I'm fully expecting Nowtizki to play and don't think the other two will. Regardless, any injury will be factored into the final line and you should stick with this play on red-hot Philadelphia.
5 Dime: SPURS (minus the points vs. Bobcats)
76ers
How do you not continue to back the 76ers? They’re riding a seven-game winning streak (longest in the NBA right now); they’ve cashed in eight in a row; they won four in a row and six of seven at home; they’ve scored 100 points or more in seven of their last eight games; they’ve allowed an average of just 88 ppg in their last five, holding those opponents to just 43.3 percent shooting; and they’ve won their last three games against the Blazers (home), Spurs (home) and Knicks (road) by an average of 17.3 ppg, with a pair of 21-point wins over Portland and San Antonio!
The Mavericks are coming off a 115-108 home win over the Jazz as a five-point home favorite. But prior to that, Dallas had lost four straight games, and it is 4-8 ATS in its last 12 outings. What’s more, the Mavs have lost four in a row and five of six on the road, going 2-4 ATS (and the one victory came at the Clippers).
Also, while the Sixers have been playing tremendous defense lately, the same can’t be said for the Mavericks. They’ve surrendered 99 points or more in five straight games and seven of the last eight, and during this eight-game stretch, they’re giving up an average of 104.9 ppg.
The home team is on a 6-1 SU and ATS run in this series, including Philadelphia’s 84-76 win as a three-point home underdog last year. Throw in the fact that, with Friday’s rout of the Spurs, the 76ers improved to 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games against the Southwest Division, and this one’s a no-brainer. Play the home team.
Spurs
This one’s exclusively about line value. Because the Bobcats are playing well (3-0 SU and ATS last three; 5-2 SU and ATS last seven; three straight wins and covers at home), and because San Antonio has just one spread-cover in its last four games (a five-point win as a 3½-point chalk on Saturday in Chicago), this number has come in short. But make no mistake: Even though Charlotte is improving and even though San Antonio isn’t the dynasty it once was, there’s still a very wide gap between these teams. And I’m sorry, but the line in this game doesn’t reflect that gap.
Just look at the numbers: The Spurs are 26-13 overall and 11-6 on the road; the Bobcats are 16-24 overall and 11-12 at home. The Spurs average 97.2 ppg overall and 94.8 ppg on the road; the Bobcats average 91.4 ppg overall and 92.3 ppg at home. The Spurs give up 94.2 ppg overall and 93.8 on the road; the Bobcats give up 94 ppg overall and 93.4 ppg at home. And if you just look at the last five games, you’ll see that San Antonio is putting up 99 ppg on 47.1 percent shooting, while Charlotte has scored only 88.4 ppg on 45.4 percent shooting. Also, the Bobcats have scored fewer than 90 points five times in their last nine games.
San Antonio has won three straight games in this series, going 3-0 ATS, with victory margins of 20, 11 and 20 points, and it is 7-1 SU and 6-1-1 ATS all time since the Bobcats came into the league. Additionally, the Spurs are on ATS streaks of 4-1 on the road, 6-1 as a road favorite, 9-3-1 when playing on one day of rest and 5-0 on Monday. As for the Bobcats, they’re 9-23-2 ATS in their last 34 contests against the deep Southwest Division (which features the Spurs, Mavs, Rockets and Hornets).
Bottom line: Maybe this line is a trap, but I just don’t see it. Take the value with the vastly superior visitor.
Thanks Blade. If you would see the ones from pregame it would be much apprecited. I'm at work and can not get today. 😉
