Bank shots: NBA's weekly betting news and notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the week of Nov. 18-24

Hottest ATS - Portland Trailblazers (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS)

The Blazers continued to take the league by storm this week, extending their winning streak to 10-straight games, which included 4-0 on a four game East coast road trip. The Blazers are not only the hottest team against the spread this week, but they now have the second-best record ATS in the NBA at 10-4. LaMarcus Aldridge and Damian Lillard have been unstoppable for the Blazers during this run, Aldridge is scoring 22.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game while Lillard is scoring 19.9 ppg to go along with 6.1 assists. The Blazers take on the slumping New York Knicks at home, before a short two-game road trip at Phoenix and the L.A. Lakers.

Coldest ATS - Brooklyn Nets (0-4 SU, 0-4 ATS)

The Nets have now lost five games in a row dating back to Nov. 16. and now sit 3-10 SU for the season. This is not the season the Nets envisioned after acquiring Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce from the Boston Celtics in the offseason. The Nets rank 22nd in the league in scoring at 95.4 points per game and are 24th in points against at 103.0 ppg. This week, with both Brook Lopez and Deron Williams nursing ankle injuries, the Nets take on the surprisingly Atlantic division leading Toronto Raptors, the L.A. Lakers, Houston and Memphis.

Best Over play - San Antonio Spurs (3-0 SU, 3-0 O/U)

Last week's best Under play, pulled the old switch-a-roo on us and became this weeks best over play. The Spurs extended their own winning streak to 10 games, not just by playing their usual style of tenacious defense and efficient offense, they are also scoring at a very high clip. During their current streak the Spurs have scored more than 100 points six times and are shooting a ridiculous 49.3 percent from the field in that span. The Spurs take on New Orleans at before a big matchup against Western Conference contenders Oklahoma City. They close out the week at Orlando and at home versus Houston.

Best Under play - Washington Wizards (3-1 SU, 0-4 O/U)

After starting the season with two wins in their first nine games the Wizards have turned things around of late, thanks in large part to point guard John Wall turning up his game. In the past four-game stretch, Wall has averaged 24.3 points and 8.5 assists per game, but more importantly the Wizards playing much better defense. They are only giving up 94 points points per game in their past four compared to 104.6 in their previous nine. The week the Wizards take on the Lakers at home before a quick two-game Midwest road trip in Milwaukee and Indiana before ending the week back at home versus Atlanta.

Surveying the schedule:

The Chicago Bulls will have to soldier on through the remainder of the infamous Circus trip without the aid of former MVP Derrick Rose. Rose is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus in his right knee which he suffered Friday night at Portland. The Bulls started the extended road trip last Monday at Denver and still have visits at the L.A. Clippers, Utah, Detroit and Cleveland before returning home on Dec. 2.

Tuesday Tips

November 25, 2013


Nets at Raptors - 7:05 PM EST

Brooklyn: 3-10 SU, 4-9 ATS
Toronto: 6-7 SU, 7-6 ATS

This is not the season that Nets' fans imagined after acquiring Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett from the Celtics. The veteran mega-team that was set to compete with Miami for the Eastern Conference title has lost 10 of its first 13 games, while point guard Deron Williams and center Brook Lopez have each missed time due to injuries. To make matters worse, the Nets have won just once away from the Barclays Center in eight tries, while covering only twice on the highway.

The Raptors are running away with the Atlantic Division even though they sit below .500 as the other four teams in the division have stumbled out of the gate. Toronto is seeking its first three-game winning streak of the season after knocking off Philadelphia and Washington. The Raps have covered six of their last eight games overall, but are a coin-flip at the Air Canada Center by splitting six home contests. These teams are meeting for the first time this season, as the Nets grabbed three of four matchups last season.

Lakers at Wizards - 7:05 PM EST

Los Angeles: 7-7 SU, 8-5-1 ATS
Washington: 5-8 SU, 7-6 ATS

The Lakers travel east for a three-game road trip after winning three straight contests to close out their homestand. Los Angeles beat Detroit and Golden State as an underdog, before knocking off Sacramento as a favorite on Sunday night. The Lakers haven't performed well away from Staples Center, posting a 1-4 SU/ATS record with all four losses coming by double-digits. L.A.'s defense has improved of late by allowing 99 points or less in four of the last five games.

The Wizards have quietly won three of their last four contests, including a 98-89 home victory over the downtrodden Knicks to finish off four games in five days. Washington's defense has settled in as the Wizards have gone 'under' the total in six of the last seven games. The Wizards own a 1-3 SU and 2-2 ATS record against the Western Conference this season, but all four teams are currently sitting above the .500 mark.

Magic at Hawks - 7:35 PM EST

Orlando: 4-9 SU, 6-7 ATS
Atlanta: 8-6 SU, 9-5 ATS

The Magic pulled off a few minor upsets to start the season, but Orlando has lost seven of its last eight games including four in a row. To make matters worse, the Magic has failed to win a game away from home, posting an 0-5 SU and 3-2 ATS on the highway. All three covers on the road were all as double-digit underdogs, including Saturday's heartbreaking defeat at Miami, 101-99 as 13-point 'dogs. Orlando fell flat the following night in a 104-96 home setback to Phoenix as two-point 'chalk.'

The Hawks haven't lost consecutive games this season, coming off Saturday's 94-87 home defeat to the Celtics. Atlanta has done a fantastic job of bouncing back off a loss with a 4-0 SU/ATS record, including three of those victories at Philips Arena. Earlier this month, the Hawks downed the Magic, 104-94 to cash as 6 ½-point home favorites, the ninth straight win in the series for Atlanta. The totals are starting to drop on Atlanta, as the Hawks have hit the 'under' in five consecutive games.

Warriors at Pelicans - 8:05 PM EST

Golden State: 8-6 SU, 6-7-1 ATS
New Orleans: 6-7 SU, 4-9 ATS

The Warriors are going backwards at the moment with three consecutive losses, including Saturday's home defeat to red-hot Portland. Andre Iguodala suffered a hamstring injury in Friday's setback to the Lakers and sat out the Blazers' loss, as the swingman is out for Tuesday's contest. The Warriors will also be without center Andrew Bogut, who was suspended one game for an altercation in Saturday's loss. Golden State is in the midst of a 1-5 ATS stretch the last six contests, while dropping three of its past four games away from Oracle Arena.

The Pelicans are listed as an underdog for just the third time this season, as New Orleans returns home after playing with no rest in last night's blowout loss at San Antonio. Home is where the heart is for the Pelicans, who have won four consecutive games in the Big Easy, while hitting the 'over' in each of the last three home contests. The Pelicans lost all four meetings with the Warriors last season, while Golden State has won each of the last four visits to New Orleans.
