Click Here to View Pick Analysis
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

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.

The Verizon Center will be the site of tonight’s clash between the host Washington Wizards and the visiting Denver Nuggets. Denver enters tonight’s game off three straight wins while the Wizards are on a two-game losing skid which included home losses to Memphis 113 to 97 and Wednesday’s loss to the New Jersey Nets 115 to 88.
The Nuggets lost star guard Chauncey Billups to a sprained ankle on Tuesday. In their most recent game against an improved Thunder team Carmelo Anthony poured in 32 points and 11 assists to help Denver pull off the win. Carmelo Anthony has recently returned from an injury to his hand but from all appearances he is back averaging 29 points since his return.
Caron Butler missed the Wizards game on Wednesday due to the flu and with his absence the Wizards only had eight players available for that game. They were struggling before Butler missed with the flu they had lost seven of their last eight contests overall and in those games points were at a premium with the Wizards failing to reach 100 points in any of those contests.
Technical support for this game comes from both Denver and Washington. Washington is 8-23 ATS in home games when playing against a team with a win percentage of 60% to 70% during the second half of the season, 0-9 ATS in home games versus teams attempting >=27 free throws per game during the second half of the season, 18-30 ATS in all games this season, 13-29 ATS in home games second half of the season, 5-14 ATS after a loss by 10 points or more this season, 8-19 ATS after playing a game as a home underdog and 7-24 ATS in home games when playing 6 or more games in 10 days over the last 3 seasons.
Denver is 20-11 ATS as a favorite this season, 19-9 ATS as a road favorite over the last 2 seasons, 42-27 ATS when playing their 3rd game in 4 days the last 3 seasons, 47-28 ATS in non-conference games the last 3 seasons, 14-6 ATS after allowing 105 points or more this season and 13-5 ATS after scoring 100 points or more 2 straight games this season. Denver is 8-0 ATS coming off an ‘over’ in their last game and now facing the Washington Wizards.
Data base research has uncovered several NBA Systems that are active for tonight’s game. Play ON NBA Teams after losing ATS on the road in their last game and are now a non-conference road favorite, 68-42-3 ATS. Play ON NBA Teams after losing ATS and going ‘over’ in their last two games and now face a non-conference foe, 442-353-20 ATS. Play ON NBA teams after losing ATS in their last two games and are now non-conference road favorites of 6 to 8 points, 44-20-2 ATS. Play ON NBA teams after winning straight up but losing ATS in their last game and are now a non-conference road favorite, 121-90-4 ATS.
With significant fundamental, situational and technical support we will back the road team here as they roll over an overmatched Washington Wizards squad in DC on Friday night.

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,

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
