What's the ATS record?

I would think it would be against either Phoenix or Sacramento since they are division rivals.

Inside the Paint - Tuesday
November 23, 2015

Oddsmakers opened Golden State as a 17-point home favorite against the L.A. Lakers on Tuesday and you could argue that the line should be higher. The Warriors (15-0 straight up, 10-5 against the spread) have been unstoppable thus far and betting against them hasn’t been a sound investment.

If you’re a little hesitant to lay the wood with Golden State, it’s certainly understandable. The Warriors are 4-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season. However, they’ve won five of the last six against the Lakers and four of those wins by 19, 17, 23 and 21 points.

The Warriors have been so dominant this season that their odds to win the Western Conference are now 11/10 (Bet $100 to win $110) and they continue to get shorter numbers (2/1) to repeat as champions in the NBA Finals.

The Pacific Division odds are “off the board” because their lead is too high and we’re still in the first month of the season! Sportsbook.ag is allowing its users to bet on when they believe the Warriors will lose this regular season.

Listed below are the odds and games for the next seven days but you can place wagers on games all the way up to the end of the year (12/31/15).

Nov. 24 - Lakers 15/1
Nov. 27 - Suns 13/4
Nov. 28 - Kings 9/1
Nov. 29 - Jazz 4/1
Other...

If you believe Los Angeles can get the job done Tuesday at Oracle Arena, then you better grab those 15/1 odds (Bet $100 to win $1,500).

Bettors that don’t believe the Warriors will lose in the near future can take a shot that Golden State will start 32-0 at 18/1 odds.

An upcoming seven-game road trip that starts in Utah next Monday and ends on the East Coast won’t be easy for Golden State but if they remain unbeaten after that trek, the only test that looks somewhat tough after that will be a Christmas battle at home versus Cleveland.

We have five other games on tap for Tuesday and here’s my quick handicap.

Indiana at Washington: We shouldn’t be surprised but the Pacers look legit. After staggering to a 0-3 start, Indiana has gone 8-2 and more importantly, they’ve covered nine of 10 games. The Wizards are in solid form too, winners in their last three games. These teams split their four-game set last season with the Wizards winning the first two meetings in November and the Pacers grabbing the contests played in the spring. Three of the four games were decided by four points or less, the other by seven. The ‘over’ went 4-0 but the totals ranged from 182 ½ to 193. Tuesday’s total is hovering around 204 ½ and Washington has been a great ‘over’ bet (4-1) in D.C. this season.

Boston at Atlanta (TNT, 8:05 p.m.): The Hawks opened as 3 ½-point home favorites for this game and this line shows the new-found respect for the Celtics, who were catching double (+7, +7.5) in last year’s games in Atlanta. Boston came up short in both games but managed to cover one. These teams met this season already in Boston as the Celtics defeated the Hawks 106-93 at home on Nov. 13 as 1 ½-point underdogs. Prior to Sunday’s loss at Brooklyn, the Celtics had won three straight on the road. Atlanta has gone 6-1 this season when it scores over 100 and Boston’s defense has been shaky lately.

Dallas at Memphis: No early line on this game due to the status of Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph (knee). The Mavericks have been a pleasant surprise this season (9-5 SU, 9-5 ATS), especially on the road (5-3 SU, 5-3 ATS). Memphis started out slow with a 3-6 mark but have gone 4-1 in their last five and that winning run started when the team added point guard Mario Chalmers via trade from Miami. Dallas is coming off a 117-114 loss at OKC on Sunday and the team has responded well off setbacks, going 3-1 this season. The Grizzlies won and covered three of the four encounters against the Mavericks last season. The ‘over’ went 3-1 in these games and that’s not surprising for this pair, with the ‘over’ on an 8-2 run the last 10.

L.A. Clippers at Denver: Pick your poison for this matchup. The Clippers have dropped three straight and five of six while the Nuggets are mired in a 1-4 stretch. Both L.A. (104.5) and Denver (104.9) haven’t been great defensively which gives you more of a reason to stay away. Los Angeles won three of four against Denver last season, but the Nuggets saved some face and covered in two of the losses. Even though these teams like to run at times, the ‘under’ has gone 8-2 in the past 10 games and that includes a 4-0 mark to the low side last season.

Chicago at Portland: This is a very tricky game and I would’ve leaned to the Bulls in this spot but I don’t trust them as favorites (3-5 SU, 2-6 ATS) just yet. Chicago did put up a good fight to Golden State but couldn’t close and lost 106-94 last Friday. The Bulls haven’t played since then and could be a big rusty while the Trail Blazers have won two straight, which includes a 107-93 win at the L.A. Lakers on Sunday. Prior to the wins, Portland had dropped seven straight so it shows you that it’s a streaky team. Knowing the Bulls haven’t won at Portland since 2007 makes me lean to the host in this spot. Plus, Portland is 2-1 as a home underdog this season. Total bettors should note that even though the Bulls are trying to run more this season, the ‘under’ is 9-3 (75%) in their first 12 games.
