(505) LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS (506) DETROIT PISTONS
Take: (505) LOS ANGELES LAKERS
As bad as the Lakers are this year, they are still slightly better than the Pistons. The Lakers are 4-13 S/U after a nice win at home in OT over a good Toronto team on Sunday. The Lakers are actually 2-5 S/U on the road and 4-3 ATS, which aren't too bad considering. The Pistons are just 2-7 S/U and ATS at home. Detroit has lost eight straight games and is 1-4 ATS in their last five games. The Lakers have been competitive at least, going to OT in two of their last four games and staying close in all four. Two bad teams but one still needs to get a cover and I look for the Lakers to get another road win here. Hard to believe the early line has Detroit a 4 1/2 point favorite considering they can't even win a game. Detroit has been favored six times this year. The result? 0-6 ATS. Take the Lakers plus the points.

(511) DALLAS MAVERICKS at (512) CHICAGO BULLS
Take: (511) DALLAS MAVERICKS +2
I don’t play much NBA, but that doesn’t mean it’s a league I ignore. If a spot I like shows up, I’m happy to get involved. One such instance on tonight’s slate, as the Mavericks head to Chicago for a duel with the Bulls.
This will be the first game at home in a bit for the Bulls, and they don’t have a very good record in their first game back in friendly confines following a trip of at least one full week. Meanwhile, the Mavericks are one of the best ATS road teams in the NBA and Dallas also has some very admirable numbers when playing off a spread loss.
But the key for me tonight is on the personnel front. Dallas gets a key player back in action tonight, while a guy who has given the Mavericks problems in the past won’t be on the court for the home team.
Jameer Nelson is not by any stretch a superstar. But the Mavericks are simply a better team with the point guard in the lineup. Nelson is expected to return tonight after sitting out the last few, and I deem that as a nice upgrade for Dallas.
Taj Gibson will be watching this one in civvies for the home team. Gibson is also not a big star. But he’s a valuable component for the Bulls and while it’s a relatively small sample, Gibson has enjoyed quite a bit of success against the Mavericks. At the very least, it’s a big body who can provide important minutes still absent from the Chicago rotation and I think Gibson could be missed more against this type of opponent than others.
The Mavericks/Bulls battle should be one of the best on tonight’s NBA ticket. I have no issue with the number being where it is, but I do believe the matchup favors the visitors, and I really like the fact that floor general Nelson is apparently ready to resume his point guard duties this evening. The trends sure don’t hurt, so I’ll be taking my chances with the Mavericks this time around.

(503) BOSTON CELTICS VS (504) ATLANTA HAWKS
Take: over the total.
Reason: Your Bonus Play for Tuesday, December 2, 2014 is in the NBA scheduled game between the Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks. Boston heads out on the road with a much better offense than a year ago (103.4 ppg, 10th in the NBA) but the defense has been terrible, 28th in the league allowing 107.6 ppg. They just gave up 111 points at home in a loss to San Antonio. The over is 21-6 in the Celtics last 27 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 21-7 over the total overall. Atlanta has a fine offense, 9th in the league in scoring and third in assists. Both teams are terrific at dishing out assists, but Atlanta has defensive problems, too, 23rd in the NBA allowing 101.5 ppg. Paul Millsap scored 18 points, Mike Scott added 14 and the Atlanta Hawks handed the Charlotte Hornets a ninth straight loss with a 105-75 victory on Saturday night. Atlanta is 8-3 over the total against the Eastern Conference and 15-5 over after a blowout win of 15 or more points. Both clubs are rested so look for a run-and-gun offensive show. Play Boston/Atlanta Over the total.

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Denver Nuggets
Bonus Play Under
With all due respect to these offenses, I believe this number will prove to be a little too high.
Both this season's previous meetings finished above the number. Those O/U lines were considerably lower than this one though.
Portland games are averaging just 200.4 points on the season. The "under" is 9-5 when the Blazers were favored and 3-0 when they played with an O/U line of 210 or greater.
Don't be surprised if those stats improve this evening. Consider the Under.

Wrenn will be looking to score in this race, has been tough as nails most recently. Win clip this last month is a sparkling 35. The 1 slot is on fire here at Northfield Park.

Sometimes you just have to go with a feeling, back this one's chances. INDOMITABLE SPIRIT - The trainer/horse combination statistics point out that this match are solid in the money finishers when working with one another.

#1 KISS THE DADDY (ML=8/5)
#2 TO COMMERCIAL (ML=4/1)
KISS THE DADDY - Stalking speed. My chums and I like this horse. I like this filly. Has the topmost earnings per start in this event. Last raced at Parx Racing in a race with a class rating of 89. Dropping drastically in Equibase class figure this time around puts her in a solid position in this race. TO COMMERCIAL - I usually like playing sprinters who are 3-4 races into a return. This one absolutely loves this surface. All her wins have been here at Parx Racing.
Vulnerable Contenders: #5 PODEROSA (ML=2/1), #6 LUCKYNEVA (ML=6/1), #3 ATHENA IN FLIGHT (ML=8/1),
PODEROSA - Difficult to put any cash on this filly on the top end. Likes to finish in the money though. LUCKYNEVA - Will be tough for this thoroughbred to beat this field off of that last speed figure. Doubtful to improve enough to run a figure close enough to today's class rating, so put her on the possibly overvalued contestants list. ATHENA IN FLIGHT - I don't see this racer doing too much off of the extended layoff. She probably needs a race or two to get back into fine shape. Hard to play this filly today since the event isn't limited to three year olds.

GoodFella Tuesday NBA Bullet Points
Atlanta -7 vs Boston (211)
This is the 1st meeting between these clubs this season. They split 4 meetings last season, both SU & ATS. The Celts are floundering of late, just (1-7 SU & 2-6 ATS L/8) & are coming off getting boat-raced by 22 points at HOME to the Spurs on Sunday. The Celtics are just (3-6-1 ATS L/10) when playing on 1 day of rest. The Hawks are heading in the opposite direction of the Celts, as they have won 4 of 5 SU & ATS & they’re coming off a 30 pt blow-out HOME win over the floundering Hornets on Saturday. The Hawks are just (3-12 ATS L/15) when playing on 2 days of rest. This is the Hawks 4th & final game of their 7 day home-stand tonight. They head out on the road & play AT the Heat tomorrow night. The UNDER has cashed in 6 of L/7 games between these clubs. The public will clearly be all over the Hawks here & I have a lean to the Celtics (especially if +7.5 or +8 pops up later in the day).
Oklahoma City -2.5 AT New Orleans (195.5)
This is the 1st meeting between these clubs this evening. The Thunder were (2-1 SU & ATS) last season vs the Pelicans & these teams split the two meetings AT New Orleans (both SU & ATS). The Thunder are playing their 1st game of their 3 game East Coast roadie tonight & they’re coming off a 27 pt blow-out win at HOME over the Knicks on Friday night. That game was all-star Russell Westbrook’s 1st game back from injury & he went bonkers against the Knicks. The word is that the Thunder are due to get back their other stud Kevin Durant back for tonight’s game (upgraded to probable for tonight as of now). The Thunder are (2-5 ATS L/7) games when playing on at least 3 days of rest & the UNDER has cashed in 5 of 7 on said 3 days of rest or more. The Pelicans are back home for a quick 1 game home-stand tonight, before heading back out on the road for a 3 game West Coast roadie that starts Thursday AT Golden St. The Pelicans are really struggling of late. They’re just (1-4 SU L/5) & are coming off a tough (83-80) loss AT Washington (No Nene) as 4 pt dogs on Saturday. The Pelicans are (1-6 ATS L/7) playing on 2 days of rest & the UNDER is (5-1-1) on said 2 days of rest. With out question most of the free world will be on the short road favs OKC Thunder here, & especially when/if it’s “officially announced” that Durant is indeed a go for tonight. I have a very early small lean to the UNDER here, myself (for now).
Tuesday NBA 1st Half Play
DALLAS MAVS +0.5 (@BOL)
Tough spot here schedule wise for the Bulls tonight. Their 1st game back home off their “annual very lengthy circus in town roadie”. The Mavs one of the leagues top road teams, too. Smaller personal play on the Mavs 1st half for me & definitely like Dallas for the full game as well.

The Hawks are heading in the opposite direction of the Celts, as they have won 4 of 5 SU & ATS & they’re coming off a 30 pt blow-out HOME win over the floundering Hornets on Saturday. The Hawks are just (3-12 ATS L/15) when playing on 2 days of rest. This is the Hawks 4th & final game of their 7 day home-stand tonight. They head out on the road & play AT the Heat tomorrow night. The UNDER has cashed in 6 of L/7 games between these clubs. The public will clearly be all over the Hawks here & I have a lean to the Celtics (especially if +7.5 or +8 pops up later in the day).
Oklahoma City -2.5 AT New Orleans (195.5)
This is the 1st meeting between these clubs this evening. The Thunder were (2-1 SU & ATS) last season vs the Pelicans & these teams split the two meetings AT New Orleans (both SU & ATS). The Thunder are playing their 1st game of their 3 game East Coast roadie tonight & they’re coming off a 27 pt blow-out win at HOME over the Knicks on Friday night. That game was all-star Russell Westbrook’s 1st game back from injury & he went bonkers against the Knicks. The word is that the Thunder are due to get back their other stud Kevin Durant back for tonight’s game (upgraded to probable for tonight as of now). The Thunder are (2-5 ATS L/7) games when playing on at least 3 days of rest & the UNDER has cashed in 5 of 7 on said 3 days of rest or more. The Pelicans are back home for a quick 1 game home-stand tonight, before heading back out on the road for a 3 game West Coast roadie that starts Thursday AT Golden St. The Pelicans are really struggling of late. They’re just (1-4 SU L/5) & are coming off a tough (83-80) loss AT Washington (No Nene) as 4 pt dogs on Saturday. The Pelicans are (1-6 ATS L/7) playing on 2 days of rest & the UNDER is (5-1-1) on said 2 days of rest. With out question most of the free world will be on the short road favs OKC Thunder here, & especially when/if it’s “officially announced” that Durant is indeed a go for tonight. I have a very early small lean to the UNDER here, myself (for now).
Tuesday NBA 1st Half Play
DALLAS MAVS +0.5 (@BOL)
Tough spot here schedule wise for the Bulls tonight. Their 1st game back home off their “annual very lengthy circus in town roadie”. The Mavs one of the leagues top road teams, too. Smaller personal play on the Mavs 1st half for me & definitely like Dallas for the full game as well.
