Nuggets Malone said he would like to give Murray and Jokic some time off, but with the upcoming schedule and the importance of the games it is difficult to find time. QUOTE: "Five games in (eight) days, it's really hard to do that," Malone said. END QUOTE: The key duo are tired. Advantage Phoenix . DENVER is 7-21 ATS in road games after a win by 10 points or more over the last 3 seasons. Malone is 0-8 ATS  in road games after a cover as a double digit favorite as the coach of DENVER.

Houston has taken part in some fairly low scoring affairs of last going under in 9 of their L/10 trips to the hardwood. Meanwhile, Pistons HC Casey has not been happy with his teams defense of late, and is mobilizing for a more conservative effort that pays attention to the opponents transition game. Back to basics for the Pistons has me leaning on this being a grinding affair that stays on the low side of the total.

The Pistons are 0-18 UNDER L/18 as a dog off a game as a dog in which they scored more than 50 points in the paint with a combined average of 205.5 ppg scored.

 HC Nurse said his team's defense was at its worst of the season "times three" in the game and Im betting things dont get better here tonight in a game that is more wide open than the pundits might expect. 

 MIAMI is 19-8 OVER  when playing against a struggling team (Win Pct. 25% to 40%) over the last 2 seasons with a combined average of 224.5 ppg scored.

After arriving in Southern California following an 8-0 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Jan. 15, the Avalanche had two consecutive games at Los Angeles in which they were outplayed late and on closer magnification and looking over espn replay tape they looked gassed and not well conditioned, which makes them vulnerable here again tonight in Anaheim especially after playing last night. Underdog is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings,

The Sixers were swept by the Celtics in the first round of last season's playoffs in the Orlando bubble. Embiid hasn't forgotten the feeling  or so the media story spin is putting it.  Now Embiid thanks to off season conditioning is now a god among men according to the media, and will slice through a group that dominated them last season.  Im not buying. it, and now instead will take a contrarian stance, and take the points with Boston. BOSTON is 20-8 ATS as an underdog over the last 2 seasons.

Take the points with the Celtics

The Mavs enter this game ranked 6th in ppg allowed defence, and 22nd in offensive output, behind the 22nd ranked pace. Needless to say they are playing a deliberate conservative  style of hoops, that has coincidently resulted in unders cashing for bettors in 9 of their L/12 trips to the hardwood, including going Under is 10-4 in Mavericks last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.  Meanwhile, San Antonio is ranked. middle of the pack, ranking 17th in offensive output and 11th in defensive rating . Note:Defensive Rating (available since the 1973-74 season in the NBA); for players and teams it is points allowed per 100 possessions. The Spurs have also been in a under groove going 5-1 to the low side of the number L/6 trips to the court. Considering both teams current form, Ill bet and recommend we take a lower scoring stance here.Under is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

The Thunder have been in a funk lately and desperate to get back into a winning groove.  I know that wont come easily vs the Clippers, but with this being the home sides 4th game in 4 nights and on tired legs the Thunder have an edge on this line . There  are positives with supporting the Thunder as a bettor as they are  6-2 ATS in their last eight road games, 4-1 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on two days rest.

Detroit has for the most part been competitive this season despite of their ugly record. QUOTE: "We're finding ways to get back into it, to get ourselves in a position to win," Casey said. "We're due. We're due to have some good luck." END QUOTE

The Nets  are having some defensive issues and I expect them to ficus on   correcting some of their   issues Saturday night when they host the shorthanded Miami Heat. The Heat will be effected by a lack of cohesiveness because of their lack of a full compliment of players, This Im betting effect the score of this tilt to the low side of the number. Spoelstra is 135-103 UNDER as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points as the coach of MIAMI with the average combined score of those tilts ringing in at 201.1 ppg . 

NBA Home teams where the total is 220 to 229.5 (BROOKLYN) - after going over the total by 54 or more points total in their last ten games against opponent after going under the total by 18 or more points total in their last three games are 46-17 UNDER L/5 seasons for a 73% conversion rate for bettors.

With Karl-Anthony Towns out of the Minnesota lineup they just dont have much flow, and the chemistry looks bad as well , as is evident by 11 losses in 12 games including 4 straight defeats with 3 coming by DDs. I know New Orleans is not playing alot better, but they are a viable option vs this type of lower tier competition. 

MINNESOTA is 1-12 ATS  in home games versus good shooting teams - making 46% or more  of their shots over the last 2 seasons with the average ppg diff clicking in at 11 ppg. Saunders is 0-9 ATS  in home games after playing 2 consecutive home games as the coach of MINNESOTA.
