Tips and Trends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Lakers at Miami Heat [ESPN | 8 PM ET]

Lakers (-7.5, O/U 205.5): LA is hoping to have Pau Gasol back in the lineup, although he remains questionable with strep throat. Lamar Odom totaled season highs of 17 points and 12 rebounds filling in for Gasol in a 116-114 win over New York on Tuesday despite suffering from an upper respiratory infection himself. “Pau was out and I kind of willed myself to do it - football mentality,” said Odom, who is averaging 13.3 points, 15.0 rebounds and 5.7 assists in three games in Miami with the Lakers

Lakers are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
The UNDER is 9-3 in LA's last 12 games vs. Southeast Division.

Key Injuries - C Pau Gasol (illness) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 105 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Heat (NA): Miami has dropped three in a row following a season-high four-game winning streak, mainly because nobody has stepped up to support Dwyane Wade. “We can’t put it all on Dwyane,” Heat forward Udonis Haslem said. “Someone’s got to pick their game up somewhere.” Wade averaged 34.8 points on 50 percent shooting during the winning streak but has seen those numbers fall dramatically to 17.7 points on 33.9 percent shooting during the skid.

Heat are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall.
The UNDER is 1-6 in the last 7 meetings.

Key Injuries - G Daequan Cook (flu) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 98



Cleveland Cavaliers at Denver Nuggets [ESPN | 10:30 PM ET]

Cavaliers: Cleveland star LeBron James renews his personal rivalry with childhood friend Carmelo Anthony after he won the first meeting earlier this season, 110-99. “Any time I play LeBron and we play Cleveland it’s a fun game," Anthony said. "That’s the way it is, there’s so much hype around the game.” The Cavs had lost the previous five meetings, and that victory is part of an amazing 20-2 run. James ranks second in the NBA in scoring at 27.3 points per game and is the only player averaging more than 20 points, six rebounds and six assists.

Cavs are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games overall.
The UNDER is 8-3 in Cleveland's last 11 games overall.

Key Injuries - C Zydrunas Ilgauskas (ankle) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 96

Nuggets (-1, O/U 197): Anthony is enjoying his best offensive stretch of the season, averaging 29.3 points in the last four games. He went through a bit of an adjustment period after Denver acquired point guard Chauncey Billups, who has seen the Nuggets go 16-5 since his arrival. One of those losses came to the Cavs back on November 12th. They are coming off a 108-96 loss to Houston on Tuesday and have not lost consecutive games with Billups.

Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
The OVER is 7-1 in Denver's last 8 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 101 (Side Play of the Day)
