Houston (26-22, 23-25 ATS) at Memphis (26-22, 27-20-1 ATS)
The Rockets and Grizzlies, who are tied for third place in the competitive Southwest Division, look to snap out of their respective slumps when they meet up for just the second time this season, this time at the FedEx Forum.
Houston has been idle since crushing the Warriors 119-97 on Tuesday, covering easily as a seven-point home favorite to snap an 0-5 ATS drought. The Rockets are still just 6-9 in their last 15 games, going 3-12 ATS. They’ve also lost five of their last six road games and failed to cash in seven of their last eight on the highway.
Memphis is coming off Tuesday’s 105-89 loss at Cleveland as a 10-point road underdog, and it has now followed up a 15-4 run (14-4-1 ATS) by losing three of its last four SU and ATS. On the bright side, the one victory was a 95-93 triumph over the defending-champion Lakers on Monday, and the Grizzlies have now won 12 of their last 13 at the FedEx Forum, and they’re 14-6-1 ATS in their last 21 home contests.
These division rivals squared off way back on Nov. 11, and Houston cruised to a 104-79 victory as a nine-point home favorite. The Rockets have won six of the last eight meetings, but Memphis is 4-1 ATS in the last five (all as an underdog), including 2-0 SU and ATS at home. In fact, the host has taken six in a row and eight of the last nine in this series (6-3 ATS).
Other than cashing in four of their last five games against divisional opponents, Houston is mired in a slew of negative ATS slumps, including 1-5 overall, 1-7 on the road, 1-4 as an underdog, 1-6 as a road pup, 1-5 after a SU win, 1-4 after a spread-cover, 0-4 against winning teams and 2-7 against the Western Conference. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are on ATS tears of 14-6-1 overall, 20-8-1 at home, 9-4 within the Southwest Division, 7-2-1 as a favorite of five to 10½ points (all at home), 4-1 when playing on two days’ rest and 4-1 after a non-cover.
The under is on a 19-8 roll in this rivalry, with seven of the last 10 clashes in Memphis staying low. Additionally, the under is on streaks of 5-2 for the Grizzlies overall, 5-2 for the Grizzlies on Friday, 11-5 for the Rockets on the road, 11-5 for the Rockets against divisional rivals and 7-3 for the Rockets against winning teams.
On the flip side, Houston is on “over” runs of 8-3 overall, 4-0 on Friday and 5-0 after a SU victory, while Memphis carries “over” trends of 11-4 against Western Conference teams, 4-1 against Southwest Division foes, 4-1 when coming off two days’ rest and 5-0 when favored by five to 10½ points.
ATS ADVANTAGE: MEMPHIS
Denver (33-16, 22-25-2 ATS) at L.A. Lakers (38-12, 22-26-2 ATS)
Two Western Conference powers whose best players are hobbled by left ankle injuries meet up at the Staples Center, as the Nuggets look to beat the Lakers for the second time this season.
Denver’s Carmelo Anthony has missed six straight games with a sprained ankle, and without him, his team has gone 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS. That includes Wednesday’s 109-97 loss to the Suns as a 5½-point home favorite. The Nuggets are still 13-4 in their last 17 games, including 4-2 on the road. However, George Karl’s club is in a 9-17-2 ATS funk overall, going 3-8-1 ATS in its last 12 as a visitor.
The Lakers returned home Wednesday from an eight-game Eastern Conference road trip – their longest of the season – and survived a scare against Charlotte, holding on for a 99-97 victory but falling way short as a 10½-point favorite. Five players scored in double figures for Los Angeles, but Kobe Bryant wasn’t one of them, as he was held to just five points on 2-for-12 shooting in the victory. Bryant played a team-high 37 minutes but missed a portion of the game after tweaking his ankle in the first half.
The Lakers have won nine of their last 12 overall, going 6-4-2 ATS, and since a Christmas Day loss to the Cavaliers, they’re on an eight-game home winning streak (4-3-1 ATS).
Both Anthony and Bryant are listed as questionable for this game.
The Lakers beat Denver in six games in last year’s Western Conference finals, with the teams splitting the cash along the way. The Nuggets exacted a little revenge on Nov. 13 in the Mile High City, cruising 105-79 as a four-point home favorite, outscoring L.A. 47-23 in the second half. Still, Denver is 6-13 ATS in its last 19 games in this rivalry and 3-12 ATS in its last 15 trips to Hollywood.
Going back to Game 2 of last year’s playoff series, the visitor is on a 4-2 SU and ATS run when these teams meet, and the winner cashed in all six of those battles and has covered in nine of the last 10 clashes.
In addition to their aforementioned pointspread slumps of 7-19-1 overall and 3-8-1 on the road, the Nuggets are also in ATS nosedives of 4-12-2 against the Western Conference, 1-6-1 against Pacific Division squads, 1-5 on Friday, 5-12 after one day of rest and 3-7 after a SU loss. However, they have cashed in five of six after a non-cover.
Los Angeles is 4-1-1 ATS in its last six home games and 4-1 ATS in its last five after a non-cover, but it has failed to cash in four straight games against Northwest Division squads.
Denver is on several “under” streaks, including 4-1 overall, 6-1 on the highway, 11-3 against winning teams, 6-2 on Friday, 5-1 after a SU loss and 4-0 after one day of rest. Similarly, the Lakers have stayed low in five of seven against the Western Conference, five of seven versus the Northwest Division and 10 of 13 against winning teams. Finally, the under has cashed in 11 of their last 14 clashes between these teams, including five of the last six head-to-head matchups at Staples Center.

4* #835 SAINT PETER?S over FAIRFIELD
No matter what the level of play is in college basketball defense
still lacks sex appeal in the marketplace. That is how a run like the
current 6-1 Saint Peter?s surge gets missed, and why we get to take a
line this high in a game in which the teams are tied in the
conference standings (8-4) there is a vast chasm between the quality
of defense being played.
The Peacocks have ratcheted their defense up to an extremely high
level in this recent surge, and through 12 Metro Atlantic games are
allowing just 36.7 from the field and 31.3 beyond the arc. Fairfield?
How about 44.3 and 37.6 in those same categories, with an * attached.
And these numbers are showing up in the pointspread categories that
we would expect ? Saint Peter?s is the epitome of a ?tough out? as a
road underdog, with a 5-1 ATS conference mark that includes four
outright wins, while the Stags are rarely putting anyone away, going
0-6 ATS as a home favorite this season, and only beating lowly Marist
by more than six points in conference action.
But now that * comes into play ? Ed Cooley is running low on numbers.
When his Fairfield team won 75-68 at Saint Peter?s back on December
6th he got 31 points and 20 rebounds in 66 floor minutes from Greg
Nero, Yorel Hawkins and Lyndon Jordan. They are all gone now. That
turned out to be Nero?s only conference appearance of the season, and
the defense has broken down badly in the two games played without
Jordan, allowing Loyola-Maryland and Rider to both shoot over 50
percent. Now the loss of Hawkins, and his 14.6 points and 5.5
rebounds per game, becomes the biggest blow of all. Jordan had
started all 10 conference games before going down and Hawkins all 12,
and now the pieces to the puzzle become awfully limited. They are
hard-pressed to merely win this game, and with that savvy Peacock
back-court of JR?s Wesley Jenkins and Nick Leon already at 149 career
starts leading the way, a win by the road team should not be
classified as an upset.

Bucks at Knicks
Pick: Bucks +3
The Buck's are the hottest team in the NBA against the number. They have covered 8 of their L9, including 4 of their L5 on the road. Milwaukee has already disposed of New York 102-87 back in November. While NY has an edge on the offensive side of the ball, the defensive edge goes to Milwaukee. New York is just horrible. They can't seem to string together solid performances. They have lost 7 of their L10 both SU and ATS. The 'dog is 6-2 ATs their L8 meetings and the road team is 5-2 ATS their L7. The Buck's are 5-2 ATS their L7 in NY. Milwaukee is also 8-0 ATS their L8 vs. the NBA Atlantic, 4-1 ATS their L5 as a 'dog, and 4-1 ATS their L5 games played on 2 days rest. New York is 2-5 ATS their L7, 1-5 ATS their L6 as a favorite of .5-4.5 points, and 0-4 ATS their L4 following a ATS win. Milwaukee covers.

INSIDER ANGLES
The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season while the Rockets have been burning money lately, and we look for the Grizzlies to notch another handy home win here.
Memphis is 18-6 at home on the year and 12-1 in their last 13 games here, with the lone loss coming in overtime. The last time the Grizzlies played in FedEx Forum, they beat the mighty Los Angeles Lakers on Monday night. They had a natural letdown in their following game on the road at Cleveland on Tuesday, but with two days off since then and this return home, we look for the Grizzlies to put forth a top effort here.
The Rockets, on the other hand, are struggling, going 2-8 against the spread in their last 10 games. They have dropped to 10-14 ATS on the road for the year after going just 1-7 vs. the number in their last eight games away from home, and they lost both visits to Memphis outright last season, and that was vs. a weaker Grizzlies team than this one.
Finally, there is a matter of revenge as the Rockets embarrassed the Grizzlies in their only other meeting this season 104-79 way back in November in Houston. However, both teams have changed considerably since then, and with Memphis being 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 home games, this seems like an excellent spot to get some vengeance.
Look for the Grizzlies to cover thus number with relative ease en route to a double-digit win.

10 DIME - INDIANA PACERS
As if things aren't hard enough in Michigan, let's add the poor play of the Pistons into the mix.
You know things are bad when you are struggling to beat the worst team in the NBA as Detroit did their last time out.
Now they square back up with a Pacers team that rolled into Motown back on January 22nd and took care of business 105-93 as a 3 1/2 point dog.
Since that loss, Detroit went on to lose their next 4 at home to Portland, Memphis, Miami by 27 and Orlando by 5.
All told, just 2-6 ATS last 8 and now step back up to face an Indiana team they are 0-5 ATS last 5 meetings.
I like the way the Pacers are playing right now.
Since hammering the Pistons by double digits they split with Philly, lost to the 2 best teams in the NBA in Cleveland and the Lakers and split with the Raptors.
However, in beating the Raptors last game out they put up a 130 spot at home which tells me their offense is coming around.
The Pacers are just one of those teams the Pistons don't match up with and I will back the Pacers to go to 6-0 ATS last 6 versus Detroit.
