NBA Monday

Detroit Pistons at Chicago Bulls
This is a losing team vs winning team match up, but the losing team, Pistons, have been playing very good ATS Basketball whereas the winning team, Bulls, have sandwiched two ATS losses between single win. Chicago's two most recent games against sub par teams at home giving up double digit points ATS? 12/31 and 1/01 Nets & Cavaliers both SU winners, both ATS losers. Chicago also visited Detroit 12/26, SU winner & ATS no cover loser, in a game that went into OT. Bulls are very suspect against weaker foes getting hefty points. There's a pattern right? The pattern is don't be short sighted. Last 10 game sampling goes against the big picture which is Detroit away 3-16 just above Cleveland in the East. The Bulls have dominated this match up for sometime and at home I expect the Bulls to take control.

CHICAGO BULLS -9.5(W)

New York Knicks at Phoenix Suns
Welcome to the new era for the valley of the Suns. Landscape has much changed in Phoenix 2011, but going back through the past match ups Suns never had much over the Knicks. That holds true this season as well with Knicks one of the top ATS team going against 5-10-1 home ATS Phoenix Suns. Take the points on the road team Knicks.

NBA Monday

Golden State Warriors at Orlando Magic

Orlando sure does look magical with new found blood and looking forward to 2011. They've strung 5 straight wins covering all as favorites. Hell, they beat the Spurs and Celtics handily. What a turn around from 4 straight losses and 2 for 8 during that span. Orlando is a contender expected to make the playoffs and rolled the dice in moving pieces, everyone know about the move, it's been made too much at this point and Golden State is an after thought. Warriors at 13-20 is dismal 5-14 on the road. However, Warriors 10-8-1 against the spread away and 50% proposition against winning teams away whereas Magic only 35% against losing teams. Golden State has 3 ATS losses in last 10 games only 1 loss was by more than one possession. Combined with Magics win margin dropping with every game since the start of this streak on Dec. 23 with 20 point ATS win against the Spurs to New York Knicks 1.5 point ATS squeaker on their last game 12/30 this one very much looks ripe for a ATS NO COVER at home for Orlando.

GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS +10.5 at -110 for 1 unit(L)
