Toronto* over Philadelphia by 20

The 76ers flew home from a long Western road trip
and had only one day between returning home early
Monday morning, and playing Milwaukee last night.
Hey, it would have been a "Milwaukee" play right here
except we already had the college basketball game
that looked good, too! It was indeed a winning
Milwaukee play for our Executive Club members.

The 76ers, who just got home, are forced to leave
home right away and play the second of back-to-back
games, which amounts to a third game in four nights.
Toronto has been home for two games since returning
from their own 7-game tour of the West and Midwest.
The effects of that trip got them zapped on their own
home floor vs. winning teams Detroit and Cleveland
on January 4 and January 6. The Raptors have had two
days to recover and regroup from those consecutive home
defeats. They've been struggling, losing 6 of their
last 8 overall. Not for long! TORONTO, 102-82.

The Rockets are playing their best ball of the season right now ? even without Tracy McGrady and have won three straight for the first time this season. They have won five of their last seven and one of the losses was to the Celtics in Boston and they actually had a lead late in that game before the better team took control. But tonight they face a team that is nowhere near as good as the Celtics. The Knicks got a win last night over the putrid Bulls but that was their only taste of victory in eight games. They allow 102 points per game on defense, as opposed to the Rockets who are No. 5 in the NBA, allowing 94 points per game. That will be the major difference tonight. Both teams come in on a back-to-back so that factor does not hinder the Rockets in this situation. These two played Saturday and only very bad shooting from 3-point land made this game seem respectable. The Rockets won by 12 and we think this could be another double-digit affair as Houston has won eight of nine in this series and they have won four straight in NYC.

We absolutely love the Hornets in this situation. Everything seems in tune for the cover: The Hornets are one of the least respected probable playoff teams in the West against the biggest public team in the NBA coming in at their highest point of hyperbole of the season. The Lakers are coming on a back-to-back and will have played three games in four nights while the Hornets are well rested after having three nights off. The public is on the Lakers heavy but the line has moved the opposite way, meaning that there has been some big bets by the guys that make a living off betting on sports. New Orleans is blazing hot against the spread, having cashed eight tickets in their last nine games played. Also, New Orleans has a much better defense and therefore may be the better overall team. They allow 93 points per game this season, compared to 101 to the Lakers. And the beauty of this New Orleans team is that they can also explode on offense when needed.

New Orleans is rock solid on defense, and we are getting a number that is too high here because their last two games were very high scoring. But they have had three nights of rest and this is a big game for them so we expect an ?A? effort on defense from the Hornets tonight. The Lakers will have played three games in four nights and fatigue really affects some of those jumpers from falling when your legs are tired. This series has a long history of overs but the number has been adjusted too high and we feel like this is the night where the trends reverse themselves.

Game: UNC at Charlotte 49ers @ Clemson Tigers - Wednesday January 9, 2008 7:30 pm
Pick: 3 units (Play of the Day) ATS: UNC at Charlotte 49ers +16 (-107)

Our pick on Charlotte here is more a pick against Clemson than a vote of confidence on Charlotte, but we have two very strong factors working in charlottes (and our) favor tonite. First and most important is the fact that Clemson is coming off of a heart-breaking, gut-wrenching OT loss to top ranked North Carolina, in which they lead for the entire second half before being caught by the Heels at the end of regulation, due primarily to poor FT shooting on Clemsons part (more about that later), were unable to score on their final possession in regulation, and then still looked to be headed for a win in OT until Carolina ripped the hearts out of the Clemson team, coaches and fans with a 3 point dagger at the buzzer. How can a team recover from that kind of devastating loss? Well, most teams do, eventually, but very few recover right away, and we have won a lot of bets riding this post-heartbreak system of going against a team which has just suffered a devastating loss until they play a good game in either winning outright or losing while covering the spread, with the biggest bet against them in their first game after the heartbreak (i.e., this one for Clemson). The other factor in our favor here is Clemsons ineptitude from the FT line, which is not only a weak 64.5% overall but more significantly is a putrid 58.5% at home. Their poor FT shooting did them in against Carolina, as they were a pathetic 14-27 (52%) from the charity stripe, as compared to Carolinas robust 24-30 for 80%. And in some other home games, its even been worse, like their 10-26 (38%) free throw brickfest (Hell, even Shaq shoots FTs better than that) as a ten point home fave in their 3 point non-covering win against Purdue, a game in which they should have covered (and would have, with just 8 more FTs made, which would have resulted from a normal 69% FT shooting %). Clemson has played two home games TY vs the B level of competition presented by Charlotte, and split them ATS, with the aforementioned non-covering win over Purdue and an 11 point win/cover over in-state rival South Carolina, in which Tigers shockingly shot 82.5% (19-23) from the FT line (definitely an aberration for them). So we have a pretty good case against Clemson covering this big number, but what about Charlotte? They have a veteran coach in Bobby Lutz and a good shooter and scorer in Goldwire, and a good new point guard in recently eligible Pepperdine transfer Gerrity, but they also have some newcomers and have been inconsistent so far TY. For example, they have had good home upset wins over Wake forest, So Illinois, and a Davidson team that gave both Carolina and Duke all they could handle in November, but then on the road lost by 12 to an average Tulsa team and were upset by Hofstra. However, there is a lot of room in this line, and this game against an ACC power is much more important to Charlotte than it is to heartbroken Clemson still licking their emotional wounds, so we say that Charlotte will at least cover this generous spread.

ADDED PLAY:

3.5-Unit Play. Take Arizona State (-1.5) over Arizona (9:30 p.m., Wedneday, Jan. 9)
Note: This game was posted at 1:45 EST and is based off a line released by BetCris/Bookmaker. Don't worry, we won't count it toward your record if this was the difference between a winning and losing night/week. I'm all over this game so I just want to give my clients the ability to get on it as well. Play up to -3.0 and then start dropping units between that and -5.5.

Arizona State actually - and finally - enters this game as the better team with the better talent. Jerryd Bayless is likely out for Arizona. But even if he isn't, a sprained knee is a lot harder to come back from than a sore ankle or shoulder. Arizona looked lost without its PG and leading scorer against Oregon and now going on the road without one of its biggest weapons is going to be trouble. ASU blitzed Xavier at home earlier this year and tonight I think they are going to dominate their in-state rival in front of a raucous home crowd. The home team is 6-1 ATS in this series, ASU is 9-2 ATS at home and 6-1-1 ATS in conference play, and Arizona is 1-4-1 ATS in its last six and 2-6 ATS in conference games.

100♦ OHIO STATE



100♦ CAVALIERS

Cleveland comes in riding a four-game win streak after last night?s 16-point home rout of the Sonics, and brings its game into the A-T-L, where the Hawks are sporting a four-game slide. The Hawks have been dormant since the 5th, when the Nets came into Atlanta and won by six points, which followed a three-game road trip ? including a four-point loss at Cleveland. The Cavaliers have won four straight and six of seven in this series, while they?ve covered three of the last four meetings. More importantly, Cleveland is 3-0 SU and ATS the last three times it?s come to Atlanta. Tonight, with the points, this should be an easy win!



100♦ SUNS

For a team being accused of being inconsistent with ?chemistry and finding its groove,? I have been extremely impressed with how well the Suns have won five of their last six ? averaging 112 points per game, and winning by an average margin of 14.2 points per game. The Pacers pushed this team back in December, losing 121-117 in Indianapolis, but it was still the fifth straight loss in the series for Indy. And with Amare Stoudamire appearing to perform like the player he was prior to his major knee injury, and has this team rejuvenated on offense. Indiana has lost six straight road games, including the opening to a season-high five-game road trip ? a 112-96 rout at the hands of the Lakers on Sunday. Lay the chalk with Phoenix here, as we roll.

Well I have posted my own large plays on here twice, once having 1 play that easily won and the other time I went 1-1.

I am posting another one for tonight.

Golden St/Portland Over 207. - The oddsmakers are smiling at us. GS home game where a total is under 210? Unreal. Last time this happened, the other night, 204.5 vs Spurs. Final score? 130-121. Last time GS and Portland played? Neither team could shoot as they both shot HORRIBLY and the score still ended up at 200. This one is a NO BRAINER. This is a very very big play for me tonight and would not be surprised to see this game end up in the 230's with the total being surpassed with about 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter.

Good luck if you roll this way.
