The Best NBA Systems for Monday

The NBA can reclaim the basketball bettors today after being in the background the previous four days. Ten games are available for wagering purposes with an unusually high six road favorites in action. Here is a look at five of them in the very best systems in professional basketball this evening.

Miami (-6, 187) at New Jersey 7:00E YES

As New Jersey continues to chase history, in the negative sense for the worst record ever in the NBA, they find themselves in terrible position. The Nets don’t shoot or defend and tonight’s foe Miami is off their best defensive effort of the season, holding Charlotte to 29.2 shooting as the Bobcats totaled only 71 points. In this instance, play against home teams shooting 43 percent or less, with a defense that allows 46 percent or more, against opponent that conceded 35 percent or less in previous outing. This system rings up in the Heat’s favor at 23-5 ATS.

Toronto (-4.5, 217) at Minnesota

The purple dinosaurs are 1-11-1 against the spread in last 13 tries, while trying to hang on to last playoff slot in the Eastern Conference. In a matchup of two of the worst defensive teams in the league (Raptors 28th, T-Wolves 29th in points allowed), the UNDER is 41-10 when the total is greater than or equal to 210 and a club like Toronto is beaten by the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games, with a winning percentage of between 45-55 percent on the season.

Dallas (-5, 203.5) at New Orleans

The Hornets just completed a 1-4 road trip and return home to play five games at home, with three of the team’s division leaders, which includes Dallas tonight. When two squads have plus/minus scoring average of three or less after 42 games, play against the home team if they trailed by 10 or more points in their last two encounters at halftime. Dating back to 1996, this system is 39-13 ATS.

Memphis (-2, 206) at Sacramento

The Grizzlies were the latest team to grill Golden State’s cavalier attitude towards defense, winning 123-107 as nine-point home favorites. Memphis attempted 98 shots in that contest, which was one off their season high. The Grizzlies are seventh in the NBA in scoring at 102.7 points per game and teams averaging better than 102 PPG off a blowout win of 15 or more points, taking on above average offense (98-102 PPG), with a line +3 to -3, are 32-10 ATS since 2005.

Phoenix (-4.5, 243.5) at Golden State

The Phoenix Suns have won their last four games at the purple palace and take to the road for the first since Mar. 3. With the way Golden State is playing defense, road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points vs. division opponents, off three or more consecutive home wins are 45-17 ATS.

The Top NBA systems for Monday

Five games will mark the Monday slate, however the best of the group didn’t have a side or total when this article needed to be completed since LeBron James and Cleveland is up in the air for visiting San Antonio. Instead, we press on with the rest of the other games, including games involving car-wrecks New York and New Jersey. Who said Monday’s aren’t fun. Sides and totals from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Atlanta (-7, 210.5) at New York

You’ll have to excuse Knicks if they are really down, not every team could lose by 20 points to New Jersey, especially after they enjoyed a 16-point lead in the same game. If you can’t close out the Lousy Bets from the Garden State, you deserve what you get. Of note, the Knicks couldn’t throw in the Hudson River, setting a NBA record of miss-guided futility, with ZERO for 18 total beyond the three point arc. Here is what to do with the New York “Bombers”, play against home teams after they allowed 100 points or more in five games, against opponent after scoring 55 points or more in the first half in consecutive contests. A record of 26-8 ATS tends to work.

New Jersey (+8.5, 196) at Memphis

Memphis didn’t handle the pressure of taking care of San Antonio at home Saturday, losing by 10 points to division partner, their seventh straight defeat at FedEx Forum. When the total is between 190 and 199.5 points for team like Grizzlies, playing a non-conference clash off a division loss, the outcome the previous three years is 59-30 UNDER.

Dallas (-7, 207) at Minnesota

The Dallas Mavericks have won 11 in a row and will look to maul Minnesota an eight straight time this Monday. The Mavs are battling injuries, yet keep in winning. They won 122-116 at Chicago two nights ago and road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points, after a road game where both teams scored 100 or more points, in the second half of the season, are 43-15 ATS since 2005.

Golden State (+7, 214.5) at New Orleans

The Hornets are really struggling without Chris Paul. Having lost four in a row SU and ATS and six of seven overall, New Orleans lack of defense is really hurting them without offensive production. When a team has being beaten by the spread by 18 or more total points in their last three games, with a winning percentage of between 45-55 percent on the season and the total is greater than or equal to 210, the UNDER is 53-23.

Top NBA Monday Systems

Changes will be occurring in Charlotte as an ownership bid has been made, headed by one of the NBA’s best players ever. Tonight’s question does that lift the burden off the Bobcats to finally take down Dallas for the first time ever? The numbers point to no, at least as far as system plays are concerned, as we review the possibilities on an NBA Monday. Sides and totals from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Dallas (+2, 192) at Charlotte

The Bobcats will officially have a new ownership group led by Michael Jordan once the league approves them. Until then, the next order of business is doing something they have never done, beat Dallas. Charlotte is 0-11 (4-6-1 ATS) against the Mavericks since joining the league and faces a club that has won seven in a row and is not in a favorable position tonight. Play against teams when the line is +3 to -3, who are average defensive team (43.5-45.5%) against a weaker defensive team (45.5-47.5%), after three straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 47 percent or higher, since they are 27-6 ATS the last 14 years.

Orlando (-4, 196) at Philadelphia

The Magic have been playing their usual solid defense, holding last six opponents to 95.5 points per game, however the offense has been a little stagnant, averaging 97 points a contest in last five tries compared to season average of 101. Look to play against (7-24 ATS, L5Y) teams after five or more consecutive Unders, who are a good offensive team (98-102 PPG), against an average offensive team (92-98 PPG) after 42+ games.

New York (+11.5, 211) at Cleveland

The Cavaliers have won three in a row, shooting over 50 percent as a team, while the Knicks have lost nine of 10 and dream about tendering LeBron James a contract in the off-season. For now, play Over on home teams when the total is greater than or equal to 200, off two or more consecutive road wins, with a winning record on the season, playing a losing team. This situation is 61-22 since 1996.

San Antonio (-2.5, 195) at New Orleans

At times this season, it’s been almost hard to believe this is the San Antonio Spurs coached by Greg Popovich. Take their last four games in which they have allowed 109 or more points three times. Nevertheless, teams like the Spurs who are road favorites and ordinary defensive team (92-98 PPG), taking on poorer defensive team (98-102 PPG), after a combined score of 205 points or more two straight games are 47-18 ATS, including 4-1 against the spread this season.

Portland (+1, 195) at Memphis

Portland concludes their five game road trip in the mid-south off a mauling of division partner Minnesota 110-91. Given the total on this contest, look to play Under on road teams when the number is between 190 and 199.5 points, off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival. In the last five seasons, this system is 72-33.

Denver (+2.5, 221) at Phoenix

Both teams suffered defeats against conference rivals yesterday, ending winning streaks. Phoenix is 22-7 SU at Planet Orange (home court) winning by eight points per game and appears to be in the better spot. Home favorites having successfully covered the spread in four or more consecutive games, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%), are 20-3 ATS the last three years.

Utah (-6, 202) at L.A. Clippers

Los Angeles has lost three of four to the Jazz at home, including Feb. 9 matchup 109-99 as five point underdogs. This places the Clips in a negative predicament since home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points, revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, with a winning percentage of between 40-49 percent on the season, are 9-30 ATS.

Get your red hot NBA Systems here!

The numbers on tonight’s seven NBA games came out slower than usual as oddsmakers had to determine what to make of five specific contests in which injuries could have a direct impact on the outcome. That situation has been handled and here is a look at some the best side and total systems in the NBA marketplace to start another work week. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Boston (-5, 191) at Washington

After losing three games in a row to top notch competition, the Boston Celtics get a breather of sorts traveling to Washington to take on the Wizards. Road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points having lost two or more consecutive losses, with a win percentage of 60 to 75 percent and facing a team with a losing record are 28-9 ATS the last five seasons.

Milwaukee (+6.5, 188) at Miami

The Miami Heat have hit a dry spell changing the numbers on the scoreboard, scoring 92 points or less in three of their last five contests. This does not bode well for them since favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after going under the total by 36 or more points total in their last five games, with a marginal record (51 to 60 percent), facing a losing team, are 37-73 ATS in the previous five years.

L.A. Lakers (-1.5, 205) at Memphis

The Memphis Grizzlies just completed an outstanding 10-5 January to get them into the thick of Western Conference playoff talk and they catch the Los Angeles Lakers off a grueling one-point win over Boston yesterday. This contest wraps up the Lakers eight-game road trip. When a team like Memphis (51 to 60 win percent) faces a winning team and the total is 200 to 209 in February, the UNDER is 34-9 since 2005.

Sacramento (+11.5, 210.5) at Denver

The Kings aren’t exactly defensive-minded to begin with, ranking 26th in points permitted. Tonight’s situation isn’t likely to improve that record playing their third game in four days, having lost eight of nine. When the road team has failed to cover six or seven of last eight contests and is apparently tired having to play three times in roughly 96 hours and the total is 210 or higher, the OVER is a good bet at 23-8 since 2007.

Phoenix (+1, 212) at New Orleans

Chris Paul’s injury isn’t going to improve New Orleans status, as they worked back in playoff contention. Nevertheless, look to play OVER when the total is 210 or higher in a matchup involving two teams with winning percentage of 51 to 60 percent. This system calculates out to 36-8 in last 44 contests.

Dallas (+4, 199) at Utah

The Dallas Mavericks have been defenseless in last three outings, surrendering 111 points per game, with opponents converting on at least 53.3 percent of shot attempts. Utah on the other hand has won eight of nine, scoring 100 or more points six straight times. When the total is between 190 and 199.5 points and one club allowed105 points or more, against opponent having scored 100 points or more in five straight contests, review the OVER, which is 42-13 since 1996.

Charlotte (+1.5, 199) at Portland

The Portland Trailblazers are battered, bruised and shorthanded, yet they came away with two-point win at Dallas as nine-point underdogs Saturday. Charlotte is in the midst of a six-game West swing and since losing at Denver to get things started, the results have been quite positive in winning three in a row. Tonight’s matchup doesn’t set up well for Portland, as teams off an upset win as an underdog, against opponent off three or more consecutive road wins are 9-30 ATS since 1996.

All Systems Go for NBA Monday

On a busy night for sports bettors in professional basketball, five matchups in particular standout, given specific situations on the sides and totals. Take a hard look at these systems before making a decision on what looks best on the NBA board to start another week of wagering. Numbers from DiamondSportsbook.com.

Indiana (+4.5, 206) at Philadelphia

The Pacers headed down a very familiar path, losing a lot of basketball games. Indiana has dropped four of last five, as even their offense is failing them, averaging 95.8 points per game compared to season average of 99. Having lost by 10 points at home to the Sixers Saturday, they turn right around and face them again in Philly. Teams that have played five or more consecutive Unders, averaging 98-102 points per contest, against an ordinary offensive team (92-98 PPG) are 5-23 ATS the last five seasons.

Cleveland (-1, 190) at Miami

The Cavaliers have won four in a row, including a pair of narrow wins over the Lakers and Oklahoma City. Cleveland ranks 13th in points scored at 100.9 PPG, however, pedestrian offensive teams (98-102 PPG) facing other teams that allow 92-98 points a contest, after two wins by six or fewer points are 33-64 ATS the last 14 years.

Orlando (+1, 204.5) at Memphis

The Orlando Magic after losing last three games of their recent road trip have come back to win take a trio of contests by 10 points or more. Orlando is seventh in points surrendered at 96.2 per game and visits a Memphis squad that 24th defensively in conceding 103.9 PPG. These factors set up a total situation that reads this way. Play Over when the total is 200 to 209.5, with one team permitting 92-98 PPG, against a lousy defensive team (102 or more PPG), after two straight wins by 10 points or more. (25-7 L5Y)

Atlanta (+1, 197) at Houston

The Rockets have not been firing correctly in 2010, winning just four of 10 tries and costing backers dearly with 2-8 ATS mark. Their record has fallen to 24-19 and home teams where the line is +3 to -3, after failing to cover four of their last five against the spread, with winning percentage between 51 and 60 percent, are 9-32 ATS since 2005.

Phoenix (+6.5, 221.5) at Utah

The Suns (26-19) and Jazz (25-18) have similar records, with Phoenix having lost five of last seven and Utah hitting the right notes having emerged victorious six of last seven games. Though the Jazz are vastly superior defensive team (97 vs 107.4 points allowed) oddsmakers see Phoenix dictating the tempo with predicted total. In this case, Play Over when the total is greater than or equal to 210, in a game involving two marginal winning teams, with record falling into 51 to 60 percent. (32-8 L5Y)

Young NBA teams earning respect

Twenty-six NBA teams will be in action this Friday night, however two matchups stand out which won’t get the lion’s share of wagering dollars. The reason is these are not public teams, instead from medium sized markets (except for one) and mostly having a history of professional basketball failure or little history at all. Charlotte heads south to take on division rival Atlanta and Oklahoma City travels to the mid-south to tackle Memphis.

Atlanta looks to not get tangled in Charlotte’s web

To use a little Stu Scott speak in talking about Larry Brown, the Bobcats head coach, “The man may drive a U-Haul as his top rig with all the stops he’s made, but the dude can still coach”. Since Charlotte was again awarded a NBA franchise, they have been more beatable than a piñata. That was until the oft-traveled Brown found his dream job (for the 10th time) in the middle of North Carolina.

The Bobcats (21-19, 25-15 ATS) are on the prowl and suddenly dangerous having tied a franchise record with six consecutive wins (4-2 ATS), all at Time Warner Cable Arena. There is nothing fluky about Charlotte winning either, with average margin of victory 15.5 points per game. Brown’s Bobcats are 9-1 since 2010 arrived. “I can’t explain this,” coach Brown said. “Guys are playing at a high level.”

Charlotte is a 6.5-point underdog at DiamondSportsbook.com and is 11-3 ATS after playing a game as a home favorite this season, as they prepare for Southeast Division leader Atlanta (27-14 SU and ATS). The Hawks have been solid all year and have won six of last eight (5-3 ATS). Atlanta is well aware of how Charlotte is playing.

“They’re playing extremely well from a defensive standpoint so we’ll be tested without a doubt,” coach Mike Woodson said. “We’ll see where we stand from a defensive standpoint because they’ve got three, four guys that can really score the basketball and Jackson coming over from Golden State has really helped their ballclub.” The Bobcats are first in fewest points allowed in the NBA (92.2) and fourth in field goal defense (44.1).

Atlanta is seeking a quality 4-1 homestand, before heading out of town to play four of next five away from home. The Hawks have the league’s best home record at 17-5 and are 15-7 ATS. Atlanta lost by 20 points (103-83) at Charlotte back on Nov.6 and are 16-6 ATS revenging a road loss vs. opponent of 10 points or more over the last two seasons.

The Hawks would seem to be in a solid situation since home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where team scored less than 85 points against opponent off a home win against a division rival, cover 75 percent of the time (36-12). And Charlotte is a mere 3-15 on the road, losing by 5.8 points per game; however is 11-7 ATS. Sports South carries the action at 7:30 Eastern.

How did this happen?

It’s been suggested from time to time the NBA’s playoff structure should be altered. Presently the Western Conference has far more good teams than the Eastern Conference, which has been the case for the last several years. If the league went to taking the best 16 teams by records, the West would horde 11 of those spots as the standings are today. Included would be two unlikely teams, Oklahoma City and Memphis.

Like the line from the classic movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, “Who are these guys?”
Right out of Ripley’s Believe It or Not, The Thunder and Grizzlies are the two best teams in the West the last month. (Really it’s true) Oklahoma City is 11-4 and 9-6 ATS since Dec. 23. The Thunder is a very young team and amazingly coach Scott Brooks has been able to convince them that defense is the way to get better. In Oklahoma City’s last 14 games, they have held opponents to 93.6 points per game on 41.9 shooting, the latter easily the best in the NBA. The Thunder (24-18, 25-17 ATS) won by two at Minnesota in their last outing as seven point favorites and are awesome 14-2 ATS after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season.

Memphis (22-19, 24-17 ATS) has been right on Oklahoma City’s tail, winning nine of last 13 the last month and their turnaround goes even a little further back sporting 12-4 SU and ATS record since Dec. 18. The Grizzlies are also a youthful squad, with Rudy Gay, O.J. Mayo and still relatively young Zach Randolph. The Grizz come into this showdown 17-6 ATS having won three of their last four games.

Memphis is a 3.5-point favorite with total of 204.5. The Grizzlies lost to Oklahoma City at home back in December and they are 15-5 ATS revenging a home loss vs. opponent. The Thunder will seek their fifth win in six tries over Memphis since moving to Oklahoma (4-1 ATS) and have a recipe for success. If OKC scores 100 or more points and holds the opposition under that number, they are 11-0 ATS this season.

Keep a close eye on the total, with the Grizzlies who are 10-0 OVER after covering four of their last five against the spread this year and Oklahoma City who is 12-3 OVER in road games playing eight or more games in 14 days. Fox Sports in Oklahoma will carry this contest of two up and comers starting 8 Eastern.

Betting Options for NBA Draft

It’s nothing short of amazing how drafts in various sports have become a cottage industry onto themselves. The next one of importance is in the NBA. The fine folks of ESPN will have enough visible personnel during its broadcast of who is going where in professional basketball, they could invade Malta. They will tell the story of what happens, while you can turn into recreational sports bettor and play along making prop bets on the various happenings. Here’s hoping Jay Bilas and Dick Vitale have another on-screen argument and what to look for from the draft.

Most NBA experts that follow the draft believe this could be one of the craziest and most entertaining nights of professional basketball, without one center jump. Speaking to an avid NBA bettor and one who follows the game 24/7, he points to organizational philosophies making the difference. “One player can turn a NBA franchise around. The Bulls took Derrick Rose, in the playoffs with brighter future. It comes down to front office types making shrewd decisions. Take the right player, fortunes will rise; take the wrong player, Hello lottery again.”

One wretched franchise that can change what has become a way of life is the Los Angeles Clippers. They have the first pick and the world expects them to take Blake Griffin. He has the look and determination of a player who COULD (not will) lead the Clips out of the NBA abyss. The Clippers might be wise to sign his brother Taylor as free agent and keep him on the team as 12th man and have Blake be happier to start his NBA career.

From here, the NBA water gets a littler murky, though certain things should happen. (Picks based on current slots as of writing)

Player to get Drafted First from DiamondSportsbook.com

Hasheem Thabeet -350
James Harden +225

This is not as easy as it looks since Memphis would prefer to move out of No. 2 slot. Thabeet is the obvious choice to build with A.J. Mayo and Rudy Gay, however questions surround how good a defender and rebounder he will be a next level. Harden is actually a more proven commodity, but might be too similar to Mayo and appears to have less upside than Thabeet. The Grizzlies want to believe they are getting the real deal and not taking the next Andrew Bogut. Play Thabeet.

Stephen Curry -200
Johnny Flynn +155

Curry is the correct choice; nevertheless, as mentioned, different front offices are not always in sync. Sacramento has the fourth pick and wants a point guard. Depending on the day, time or if the humidity is a little higher in Sac-Town, the Kings have professed to like Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday, Flynn and Brandon Jennings name has started popping up. In the end, Sacramento takes Evans based on last impression and Curry goes to Minnesota, ahead of Flynn.

Tyler Hansbrough -300
Chase Budinger +200

Going to play the dog here with Budinger and here’s why. When it comes down to it, Hansbrough’s lack of athletic ability will scare teams off, in spite of toughness which many teams could use. (I’m hoping Charlotte doesn’t screw this up) The absolute perfect place for Hansbrough to flourish to start professional career is Utah, which has 20th pick. Though Budinger isn’t all that well liked with many GM’s believing he is nearly finished product, the Philadelphia 76ers need players that can shoot, which is the former volleyball player’s greatest strength. Granted, Philly needs a point guard for aging before your eyes Andre Miller at No. 17, nonetheless having player off the bench to score immediately is more pressing need.

Wayne Ellington -140
DaJaun Summers Even

This is a hard play to make, since it becomes about need. A team like Atlanta could use another outside shooter, which Ellington is. Though there are reservations about his ability to put the ball on the deck and create, as a spot-up shooter, as good as you will find in the draft. Summers is a fit for a team like Memphis looking for size and is interchangeable at three or four spot. A smallish play on Ellington because he can make shots and Summers has been more unreliable.

Brandon Jennings -110
Jrue Holiday -130

Any NBA General Manager only has to think back to Sebastian Telfair, when considering Brandon Jennings. If I lose this wager, will call up offending team and ask them to bet me double or nothing which player has better NBA career.

Darren Collison (UCLA) - When Will He be Drafted (1st or 2nd Round)

First –Even
Second -140

Collison goes in the first round, with Oklahoma City and Portland as possible destinations. I would shocked if the Lakers took him at #29 since they already have one UCLA point guard with marginal ability in Jordan Farmar.

DeJuan Blair (Pittsburgh) - Will He be a Lottery Pick (Picked 1st to 14th)

1 -14th choice -160
15th or later +120

Though his knees are a concern to potential suitors, Blair’s crew has supplied the right information about his health and his stock has risen as much as anyone’s. Top 14 choices New Jersey and Indiana make the most sense for the big man. Bet the -160.

Gerald Henderson (Duke) - Will He be a Lottery Pick (Picked 1st to 14th)

1 -14th choice -170
15th or later +130

Henderson got better each season at Duke, proving he’s willing to do what it takes to be a pro. With too many attitude players with potentially bigger upsides having egos already that of superstar, having the chance to pick more level-headed player has to make lottery teams like Toronto or Charlotte pleased. Take the -170.

Ty Lawson (North Carolina) - Will He be a Lottery Pick (Picked 1st to 14th)

1 -14th choice +120
15th or later -160

Lawson could go to Pacers early, but his lack of size and potential problematic ability to find clear shots have him falling out of the first 14 selections.

DeMar DeRozan (USC) - Over/Under Draft Position

Over 10.5 -Even
Under 10.5 -140

This is the perfect example why GM’s and coaches can’t sleep nights. DeRozan has Top 5 ability, nobody questions that. At USC as a freshman, he showed his brilliance and lack of maturity almost evenly. There are genuine concerns about his true readiness at this level. Toronto at No.9 is the team most in need of his skills, however, DeRozan has made it known he’s not cool about the idea of playing north of the border. Take the Over.

Number of North Carolina players chosen in first round

One - +600
Two - +200
Three – minus 200
Four - +800

The Tar Heels are the national champions and will get the respect they likely deserve and will have three players chosen in the first round, all who have been mentioned already, leaving no need to be redundant as to who they are.

It's Bracket Monday, the unofficial slow day at work

A 2-0 day will work, as our Free Play and Top Trend were both quality selections. The Memphis Grizzles make our trend list in a reverse perfect way.

NBA Systems in Absurd Contest

There are lovable dogs, ugly dogs, mean dogs and yappy dogs that never shut-up, barking all the time. The NBA has a couple of mutts in the Western Conference, the L.A. Clippers and Memphis, with very little to love about either of these two squads. On Friday night, these two putrid clubs will meet, which begs the question, why would 3Daily Winners take up valuable time and space to showcase these two dowdy dogs?

Before that question is answered directly, let’s take a brief look at each team. (Don’t worry, it won’t take long) The Los Angeles Clippers are easy fodder for Jay Leno on nightly basis. Their latest losing streak has reached seven games, losing by 20.2 points per game. This is game five of seven in what has to seem like a road trip that started last year. The Clippers are 5-19 as visitors and are 11-13 against the spread.

All these blowouts aren’t good for any team’s confidence and that shows up for the Clips who are 3-14 ATS after a loss by 15 points or more this season. This doesn’t mean it is all for naught, especially when Memphis is the opposition. The Grizzlies have actually won two games in a row (who said pigs don’t fly); with the latter two days ago against a good Houston club 104-93, as six-point home underdogs.

This could actually work to the Clippers advantage and here is why.

Play Against home teams off an upset win as an underdog, against opponent off three or more consecutive road losses.

Teams like Los Angeles have benefited in this position to the tune of 23-3 ATS, 88.5 percent.

In fairness, the league’s worst run franchise and possibly the worst in all of sports can’t have it come that easy. As an NBA writer said years ago, if the Clippers ever won the NBA championship, the champagne would probably be tainted and all the players would end up dying in the celebration.

Believe it or not, Memphis also fits an incredible system that is just a little less potent, but can place the sports bettor on the right side of the action. The Grizzlies on Monday ended a losing streak that reached a dozen (remarkably 0-12 ATS also), taking out the ugliest dog in the Eastern Conference, Washington 113-97. With the victory over the Rockets, that marked the first time Memphis has won back to back games by double digits since the final three games of the 2006-07 season. (Holy Cow!)

This in turn shines the light on the Grizzlies as system play on team too.

Play On home teams off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, against opponent off two consecutive road losses by 10 points or more.

This beautiful situation also is in the rarified air of 82.8 percent with 24-5 ATS mark since 1996.

Bookmaker.com has Memphis as 5.5-point favorites and not because they are 4-13 ATS after playing a game as a home underdog this season.

If you are confused about which system is the better to play, consider the matchup, which tells you everything you need to know.

Plays, Thoughts and Oddity for Wednesday

Kendall has made a major move to improve his income level. He’s a member of the Left Coast Connection and is self-proclaimed “feel” better. When he’s hot, he rides his streaks hard and is 26-7 in his last 33 wagers, making thousands of dollars. He’s provided us with four winners in a row and goes for number five this evening.

Kind of a weird day for systems and trends. I really don’t today’s system, because I have no faith in St. Louis’ ability to shoot with any consistency. I hope it wins, but not placing my money on it despite 81.4 percent mark. The Top Trend shows what the Grizzlies do when they start losing again. Good Luck.

A real oddity and can’t remember the last time I saw this. Northeastern is eight road favorite at William & Mary. The line appears to be accurate based on current figures; however 32 days ago, Northeastern was an eight point favorite at home against W&M. Your normal line of all things being equal would have this game as a Pick if the first number was actually correct. Granted, Northeastern is much better than anticipated and W&M is much worse. Even so, the typical number would be adjusted in worse case scenarios, possibly three points, but EIGHT! Share with everyone if you remember anything like this.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY ON a favorite like St. Louis after beating the spread by more than 18 points in their previous game, whose a marginal winning team (51 to 60 percent) playing a winning team. Despite a plethora of college basketball games, this was the only side that was over an 80 percent system at 22-5.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The Memphis Grizzlies are 2-15 ATS after having lost three of their last four games this season.

Free Basketball Selection -3) Kendall’s Best Bet is Central Florida -3 at home.

NBA Betting Theme for this Monday

With it being Martin Luther King Day, we’ll stay with NBA theme today. Unfortunately there is no 80 percent or higher system, thus we’ll supply the next best thing at 78.6 percent against the spread which qualifies for tonight’s big Cavs-Lakers matchup. A near perfect trend appears, though against a very beat-up basketball team in the Detroit Pistons. Recent record shows 21-10-1 mark here at 3Daily Winners. Good Luck.

Free Basketball System-1) PLAY AGAINST road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points like Cleveland, after five straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 42 percent or less, against opponent like the Lakers after a game where they allowed 12 or more three-point shots to be made. This unusual system is 33-9 ATS, 78.6 percent, with a 3-0 record this season.

Free Basketball Trend -2) The Memphis Grizzlies are 1-15 ATS when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51 to 60 percent) over the last two seasons.

Free Basketball Selection -3) I hit my last last play here on Friday and will back the Indiana Pacers with the points.
