(505) DETROIT PISTONS VS (506) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
Take: (506) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES
Reason: A tough spot for Detroit, a team with a thin bench playing the second of a back to back. Minnesota has a lot of depth and talent despite trading Kevin Love, getting back Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins was the centerpiece of that three-team deal for the Timberwolves, who also acquired 2013 No. 1 pick Anthony Bennett from Cleveland and talented scoring-forward Thaddeus Young from Philadelphia. The Pistons are 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. the NBA Northwest, 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games playing on no days rest. The Timberwolves are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 vs. the NBA Central. Play Minnesota!

(507) UTAH JAZZ VS (508) DALLAS MAVERICKS
Take: UNDER THE TOTAL

Houston is off a win and the under is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 games following a win. Houston played good defense in the opener and this is the opener for Utah, so you have to wonder if the offense will be in mid-season form. The under is 20-8 in the Jazz's last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. When these teams meet the under is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings, including 5-1 under here in Utah.

'Division Showdown'
The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers square off at Bank of America Stadium Thursday night with top spot in the NFC South up for grabs. Saints coming off an impressive 44-23 home victory vs. Packers are 3-4 SU/ATS on the campaign. The Panthers suffering a 13-9 setback at home vs Seahawks hit the field 3-4-1 SU on the year with a profitable 5-3 mark against the betting line. The trick for New Orleans, heading into this division showdown, is to find a way to win a game on the road. The Saints are 0-4 (1-3 ATS) away from the Bayou this season and have lost seven straight regular-season games away from New Orleans (1-6 ATS). Also working against New Orleans, a short turnaround. Playing on three days rest isn't idea for any team, it's even more difficult on a visiting squad as they've won only 23 of 61 games SU the past five years. Spread wise, the travelling troops have held their own with a 28-33 record against the number but are just 17-21 ATS when in an underdogs roll. As for Panthers, they have a few positive betting numbers on their side posting a smart 9-3-1 ATS stretch in home games, 5-1 ATS mark last six hosting divisional rival Saints.

New Orleans Saints at Carolina Panthers 8:25PM
5* Over
Reason: 5* Play on New Orleans vs. Carolina Over. We scored an easy winner backing the Under in the Panthers vs. Seahawks contest last weekend, as those teams combined to score just one touchdown in a low-scoring 13-9 final score won by Seattle. Thursday night we look for the offenses to rule, and we'll back the Over to come in as we expect a completely different game tempo. New Orleans is coming off their best game of the season so far, upsetting Green Bay 44-23 as the Saints had everything fall their way while racking up a season-high 193 yards rushing as well as forcing a season-high three Green Bay turnovers.
No opinion on the ATS winner here, but we do note the Saints have gone over the total six times in seven tries, including all four games played away from home. In fact, New Orleans has allowed at least 24 points in all four of those road games. Carolina has allowed 24+ points in five of their last six games overall, and after breaking that streak against Seattle they can't match that defensive effort on a short week! 5* Play on New Orleans vs. Carolina Over.

# 4 KINDA NAUGHTY 3/1
# 5 RED CASH 8/1
# 6 CAUSEFORAPPLAUSE 6/1
All signs point to KINDA NAUGHTY for the contender. Have a vibe this one might take in this race. RED CASH - Fantastic in the money percent for Cross and this contender. A nice chance to get the win. CAUSEFORAPPLAUSE - It's somewhat dicey to consider solely based on class, but this gelding has among the best class markings of the pack. Recorded a 54 TrackMaster Speed Rating last out. A duplicate effort here should get the win in this race.
