Best Bet
New Orleans over Sacramento 102-88
Chris Paul leads one of the league?s top teams against a rejuvenated Sacramento team. You should be able to get a decent line on this game with Kings now getting healthy. The Hornets not only have Paul, but the very underrated David West and Peja Stojakovic. C Tyson Chandler is the difference in the middle with his defense.

Preferred Plays
Washington over Utah 97-87
Portland over Knicks 109-90

L.A. Lakers (28-16, 24-18-1 ATS) at Toronto (25-20, 25-19-1 ATS)
The struggling Lakers go north of the border to face the Raptors as they continue their nine-game, 14-day road trip.
Los Angeles opened its journey with Thursday?s heartbreaking last-second 90-89 loss at Detroit. The Lakers have dropped four of their last five (2-2-1 ATS), and during their slump, they?ve lost three straight on the road, falling 103-91 in San Antonio on Jan. 23 as eight-point ?dogs and 112-105 in Dallas a week ago, pushing as seven-point pups. L.A. has followed up a 7-2 ATS roll on the road by going 1-2-1 ATS in the last four.
The Raptors have won eight of their last 11 (SU and ATS), including a 122-83 rout of Washington on Wednesday, cashing as 10?-point favorites. Toronto is on a 6-0 SU and ATS roll at home, where the team plays tremendous defense, holding the opposition to 92.6 points and 43.3 percent shooting.
Phil Jackson?s club has won three of the last four against the Raptors the last two seasons (2-1-1 ATS), and the Lakers are 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine battles. Also, the home team is 6-2-2 ATS in the last 10 head-to-head matchups.
Los Angeles is on ATS slides of 3-5-1 overall and 2-4-1 in road games against teams with a home winning percentage of at least .600. However, on the bright side, the Lakers are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five Friday games, 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven as an underdog and 5-3 ATS on the second night of back-to-backs this season, including 4-1 ATS in the last five in that situation.
The Raptors are on ATS slides of 1-8 against teams with a winning road record and 1-4 against the Pacific Division. However, they?re 10-1 ATS in their last 11 as a home chalk and 4-1 ATS in their last five on Fridays.
The straight-up winner is 41-3-1 in Toronto?s games this year, including 19-0 ATS in the last 19.
The over has been the play in seven of the Raptors last 11 and is 6-2 in their last eight against the Western Conference. The over is also 5-1 in the Lakers? last six against Atlantic Division squads and 4-0 in their last five Friday tip-offs.

ATS ADVANTAGE: OVER



Utah (28-18, 23-23 ATS) at Washington (24-20, 27-17 ATS
The streaking Jazz are in the nation?s capital looking for their 12th win in 13 outings when they take on the Wizards.
Utah has rattled off six straight victories (5-1 ATS), with the only non-cover coming in Wednesday?s 100-89 home win over the Knicks as a 13?-point favorite. The Jazz are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 overall.
Jerry Sloan?s team has struggled on the road this season, going 8-15 SU and ATS. But during this winning streak, Utah?s won two straight on the highway, beating the Clippers 109-93 on Jan. 21 as a 2?-point chalk and topping the Rockets 97-89 on Sunday as one-point ?dogs.
The Wizards are 4-4 SU and ATS in their last eight, with all four wins and covers coming at home and all four setbacks occurring on the highway. In its just-completed home-and-home series with the Raptors. Washington beat Toronto 108-104 in overtime as a 2?-point home ?dog on Tuesday but got blown out 122-83 on Wednesday as 10?-point road pups.
Washington is 15-8 SU and ATS at home this season, winning the last five in a row (5-0 ATS) and six of seven. Also, the winner has covered the pointspread in 41 of the Wizards? 44 games this year, including the last 16 in a row overall and all 23 home games.
The two teams split last year?s series, with the host winning each time. However, the Jazz got an ATS push in last year?s 114-111 loss in Washington as three-point pups. Utah is 5-1-1 ATS in its last seven visits to the Verizon Center, and the road team is 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven clashes.
The over is 24-11 in Utah?s last 35 road games, 6-2 in Washington?s last eight overall and 5-2 in the last seven series meetings in Washington. But the under is 11-3 in the Wizards? last 14 in front of the home fans.
ATS ADVANTAGE: UTAH



New Orleans (32-13, 29-15-1 ATS) at Sacramento (20-24, 24-20 ATS)
Coming off their best month in franchise history, but their worst loss in three weeks, the Hornets head to California to take on the Kings.
New Orleans went 12-2 SU and ATS in January, but had its nine-game winning streak snapped in Wednesday?s 116-103 loss to Golden State as nine-point favorites. Still, if you go back to Dec. 19, the Hornets are 17-3 SU and ATS, including eight consecutive wins and covers on the road. Also, the straight-up winner has covered the spread in each of the team?s last 23 games.
Sacramento has things going in the right direction, winning five of its last seven (4-3 ATS), including Wednesday?s 105-91 rout of Charlotte as an eight-point chalk. Thanks in part to the return of starters Mike Bibby, Kevin Martin and Ron Artest to the lineup, the Kings have stepped up the scoring lately, averaging 106.8 points per game in their last five. In fact, they?ve hit triple digits in 10 of their last 12 contests.
The home team is on a 10-1 SU and ATS run in this series, with the winner covering the spread in all 11 contests. But New Orleans has won the last three matchups, including a 104-90 season-opening home victory as nine-point favorites on Halloween. The Hornets scored the only road win in more than three years in this series in April, when they prevailed 125-118 as 4?-point pups. Despite that result, the chalk is 7-1 ATS in the last eight head-to-head battles.
Buoyed by its current eight-game road winning streak, the Hornets are 16-5 on the highway this season (15-5-1 ATS). The last time New Orleans was on the road was Saturday, when it crushed the Spurs 102-78 as 5?-point ?dogs.
Sacramento is 13-9 SU and ATS at home this year, including 5-1 in the last six (4-2 ATS).
The over is 7-3-2 in the Kings? last 12 overall, 21-5-1 in their last 27 against Southwest Division opponents, 7-1 in the Hornets? last eight as a favorite, 4-0 in the last four head-to-head meetings overall and 5-2 in the last seven clashes in Sacramento.
ATS ADVANTAGE: NEW ORLEANS and OVER

Kelso

Chairmans Club = 10 units Niagara -5.5 v Loy Md

Best Bets = 3 units Iona -1.5 @ St. Peters

Kelso has NBA pick rated at 50 units which comes a a part of his "Super Bowl Party" If anyone picks this up, he has been awfully good on those 50,and 100 unit plays.
Chairmans Club is 8-2-1 on last 10 picks and rode Niagara last Fri too.
Good luck

FRIDAY NBA

UNDER raptors/lakers (202 or better)
Game: Los Angeles Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors Game Time: 2/1/2008 7:05:00 PM Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Raptors and Lakers to finish UNDER the number. The Raptors have been playing excellent defense at home recently. In fact, they've held three straight visiting teams to 83 points or less and six of their last seven guests to 96 points or less. The Blazers were the only team to reach triple-digits (finished with 109) during that stretch. However, they too only managed 93 points during regulation, as 16 of their points came during the two overtime periods. Looking back further and we find that the UNDER is a healthy 11-6 the Raptors' last 17 home games. Note that the Raptors, who crushed Washington on Wedneday, have also seen the UNDER go 8-4 after scoring 105 or more points and 10-4 this season when coming off a double-digit victory. Despite a big game from Kobe, the Lakers saw last night's game fall well below the number, combining with the Pistons for just 179 points. They've now seen five of their last seven games stay beneath the total. Tonight's over/under number is currently sitting at 204.5. That's worth mentioning as we find the UNDER at 13-4 the last 17 times that the Lakers played a game with an over/under line ranging from 200 to 204.5, including a 3-0 mark this season. Additionally, note that the Lakers have also seen the UNDER go 7-2 the last nine times they were getting points and 15-8 the last 23 times that they were listed as road underdogs in the +3.5 to +6 range. Look for tonight's final score to be lower than expected once again. *Blue Chip

SACRAMENTO (+2 or better)
Game: New Orleans Hornets vs. Sacramento Kings Game Time: 2/1/2008 10:05:00 PM Prediction: Sacramento Kings Reason: I'm taking the points with SACRAMENTO. The Hornets finally saw their winning streak snapped last time out, losing by 11 points, as nine point favorites. People typically assume that a team which has just come to the end of an extended winning streak will immediately 'bounce back' and return to it's winning ways immediately. As a result, New Orleans will surely be a very popular pick with the betting public this evening. It often works the other way though. Having been on such an emotional high during the winning streak, the team experiences a natural letdown when the streak is over. Afterwards, it's not always easy to just "turn it back on." Traveling to a venue where they have always struggled, I expect the Hornets to run into trouble tonight. While they've struggled on the road, the Kings have been tough at home for years, going 331-146 (69%) over the past decade. This season, the Kings are a modest 13-9 SU/ATS here at Arco Arena. That record only tells half the story though, as Sacramento went through almost the entire first half season dealing with injuries to it's stars. The Kings are healthy now though and they've won three straight here, going 3-0 ATS. Looking back a bit further and we find that they've won five of their last six games on this floor. Note that the Kings have been far better offensively at home than they have been on the road, averaging 103.3 points here and just 96.5 on the road. The Hornets managed a win here last April when both teams had already been eliminated from postseason contention. However, prior to that, the Kings had won 11 in a row as a host in this series. The trio of Bibby, Artest and Martin combined for 53 points in Wednesday's win while Brad Miller chipped in another 22 points and a whopping 21 rebounds. I expect the Kings to continue their strong play on this court as they avenge an opening-night loss at New Orleans and improve to 10-2-1 ATS their last 13 home games played in the month of February. *Contrarian GOW

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 1

7:05 pm
***BEST BET
Toronto* over LA Lakers by 17

Lakers play third game in four nights, second of back-to-backs
on the road, vs. rested home team. Kobe, Fisher played 10
minutes more than their averages last night. Luke Walton is
hurting, day-to-day, might not play. Andrew Bynum, Chris Mihm,
Trevor Ariza are all out.

Raptors played home Wednesday and, unlike the Lakers, didn't
go anywhere between yesterday and today. They were able to
get everybody in via a 122-83 blowout win Wednesday (majority
of 10 players saw 17 to 27 minutes) to set up a nice, primed and
pointed effort. They have been practicing and playing faster lately
-- as first noted prior to the winner posted here on Toronto at
Boston last week -- and the picked-up pace figures to suit them
well in a situation like this where the visitor has a short
rotation and played the night before. TORONTO, 110-93.
