4 Unit Play. #516. Take Minnesota Timberwolves -2.5 over Atlanta Hawks (Wednesday @ 8:05pm est). Let's go for 3-0 this week in the NBA en route to our 7th straight winning NBA Week. These two teams have not met this year, but certainly, Minnesota is playing well right now coming off a nice outright win over Indiana at home bouncing back from their loss to the Lakers at home. Atlanta beat this team by 1 point last year at home despite being a 9 point chalk at Phillips. Atlanta comes off a loss at Milwaukee, but this team is no stranger to losing back to back game as they did to the Heat on the road and then went up to NY in MSG to lose there as well. Minnesota is 7-3 ATS over their last 10 and note that Joe Johnson will be out because of a virus so there is no reason why the Twolves can't cover this spread here given that they have played so well at home recently and the Hawks are a bit banged up. The Hawks are a sound team with or without Joe Johnson but with their key go to player out, this team will not be as potent. Now, I have seen the Hawks play countless times and am aware that they can certainly play well at home despite being injured, but the highway is a different story. Minnesota is the same team that beat New Orleans at home by 8, this is the same team that beat Phoenix on the road outright, defeated the Bulls on the road Outright and then beat the Bulls at home - despite the fact they had revenge and were back in full strength in that game. Minnesota is a great place to play as per a home crowd and behind Jefferson, Telfair, Foye, Gomes and Smith, this team should be just fine. The Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games as historically over the era of Mike Woodson this team has been a terrible road team, the Twolves are 5-0 ATS when playing on 0 days rest and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. The Twolves get it done tonight.
4 Unit Play. #524. Take Indiana +3.5 over Iowa (Wednesday @ 6:30pm est). Let's start off the week 3-0 in college hoops and hopefully 3-0 in the NBA as well for a 6-0 start to the week. The Hoosiers are prime for a conference win and this is where I believe they will get it. Sure, yes, the public to a tune of about 64% will take Iowa here and let them. The public wanted to take UNLV yesterday and we certainly allowed them to do that and we came out just fine as the Aztecs won Outright on the road. Indiana has been playing better basketball as Coach C has them working hard despite the fact that many were at one time non-scholarship players. Look, when these two teams hooked up back on January 3rd, Indiana fell just short and lost 60-65 and they went into that game as 13 point dogs. Following that game Indiana came back home to nearly beat Michigan losing Outright in overtime. Keep in mind that there were points in that game where Indiana was leading by double-digits. Indiana is the same team that came back home after a series of tough road losses to lose by 4 points to Minnesota allowing 70% of the public to take a hit on the chin as well. Heck, this team even went up to Northwestern - the same team that beat Michigan State on the road and lost by just a bucket. This team was leading Ohio State at home at one point in the second half and eventually lost the spread but was competitive in Bloomington without a doubt. In short, Indiana is a different team at Bloomington and a more competitive team. They played Iowa a while back prior to the Minnesota, Michigan and Northwestern team and this team is now even more seasoned to play Iowa at home for an outright win. Hawkeyes are just 1-5 ATS as a road favorite of 0-5 points roughly while Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 as a home underdog. Look for Indiana to win Outright for us as San Diego State did yesterday on the road at UNLV.
