NBA | Nuggets vs Pistons
Play on: Pistons -7 -105 at betonline
The Pistons don't just need a win, but a blowout victory. I see them achieving that in this home matchup against the Nuggets. Detroit is in full stop-the-pain mode having lost six in a row. This begs the question are the Pistons good enough to lay this amount of points? They were 12-8 before their losing streak, including being 8-2 SU, 6-3-1 ATS at Little Caesars Arena, their new home. Now let's examine their losing skid. Detroit didn't play well in a 109-91 road loss to the Wizards, which began their losing skid. The Pistons then had three more away contests. All were against respectable-to-good teams at tough road venues - Philadelphia, San Antonio and Milwaukee. The Pistons lost those three games by an average of four points per game. Then the Pistons opened their homestand drawing the Warriors and Celtics, two of the three best teams in the NBA. The Pistons trailed the Celtics by four points with under three minutes remaining before losing, 91-81. That's the third-fewest points the Celtics have scored this season. The Pistons finally get a schedule break with this game and opponent. Denver is one of those good home/bad road teams. The Nuggets are 4-10 SU, 3-11 ATS away from Pepsi Center. Denver has a high fatigue rating, too, playing its fifth road contest in nine days and coming off an overtime game against the Pacers on Sunday. Denver is vulnerable to Andre Drummond, the NBA rebounding leader, missing their two best players, big men Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap. Both are out with injuries. This puts a lot of pressure on the Nuggets guards, who are erratic. Starting guard Jamal Murray is dealing with a calf injury, too. Avery Bradley has been in a shooting slump, but he's one of the better defensive guards in the NBA. So I don't see the Nuggets making up for their key frontcourt injuries by getting exceptional scoring from their guards. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is one of the top NBA 'cappers in North America with a long-term record of 76-49-5 on his last 130 NBA premium/free plays.)

NBA | Lakers vs Knicks
Play on: Knicks -3½ -110 at 5Dimes
My 1* Free Play is on the New York Knicks (7:05 EST).
LA is set up for a letdown here in my opinion after back-to-back road victories. With a game at the Cavaliers on Thursday, this also sets up as a “look ahead” spot for the Lakers.
New York hasn’t been perfect this year, but it’s been a lot better than last season. The Knicks won’t be taking this matchup for granted as they’d dropped six of eight before beating ATL 111-107 at home on Sunday.
LA is just 1-4 ATS in its last five road games against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600 this year (the Knicks are 12-5 SU/ATS at home this season) and just 3-4 ATS off an upset win as an underdog, while New York is 6-1 ATS in its last seven against the Western conference and 7-3 ATS in all non-conference games.
For all the reasons listed above, consider laying the points in this matchup.
Good luck…Larry

Phoenix at SACRAMENTO (210' un, -110)
By Tommy Brunson
My Tuesday comp play is the Suns-Kings to land Under the the total.
These teams did play an Over in October when the season got underway, but it should be noted that 5 of the past 7 meetings between these teams have held Under the posted price.
Phoenix comes into this one having played their last pair and 3 of their last 4 this season Under the posted price, while Sacramento 2 of their last 3 games Under the total.
The Suns have seen 6 of their last 7 on the road hold Under when facing teams with a losing record.
Going to stick with the recent Under trends these teams sport, and look for Phoenix and Sacramento to land just Under the posted price tonight in the NBA.
1* PHOENIX-SACRAMENTO UNDER
Ottawa at BUFFALO (5' un, -130)
By Joey Juice
The Ottawa Senators are playing like dog crap, and it is mostly due to an inept offense that has averaged just 1.86 gpg over their last 12 games.
The Buffalo offense is even worse, in fact, it's the worst in the league.
Buffalo has averaged just 1.80 gpg in their last 10 games overall and just 1.77 gpg here at home. In fact, Buffalo’s home games have averaged just 4.69 goals, and in their last 10 games, the total scores are just 4.90 goals on average, while the last 10 games for Ottawa has averaged just 5.40 goals. Obviously, this game will not be about offense, the Under is 13-3-1 the last 17 games in this series.
That Trend continues in this one, bet the under.
2* OTTAWA-BUFFALO UNDER
