Tuesday Late Night Tips

January 28, 2014


Spurs at Rockets - 8:05 PM EST

San Antonio: 33-11 SU, 22-22 ATS
Houston: 29-17 SU, 22-22-2 ATS

The Spurs were embarrassed at Miami in an NBA Finals rematch on Sunday, 113-102, as San Antonio trailed by as many as 29 points. Just one season removed from winning the Western Conference, the Spurs have struggled against the top teams in the league, putting together a 1-10 record against the Heat, Pacers, Blazers, Clippers, Thunder, and Rockets. Two of those losses came at home to Houston, including a 111-98 defeat on Christmas night as 7 ½-point favorites, as the Rockets dropped at least 111 points in each win against their cross-state rival.

Houston is probably thrilled to see San Antonio after getting shut down in consecutive losses to Memphis, as the Rockets try to avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season. Kevin McHale's club has won five of seven home contests this month, while posting a 6-3 SU and 3-6 ATS record at the Toyota Center off a loss. The Rockets are favored against the Spurs for the first time in eight meetings, as Houston failed to cover as 4 ½-point favorites in a 105-102 victory on January 21, 2012.

Grizzlies at Blazers - 10:05 PM EST

Memphis: 22-20 SU, 19-22-1 ATS
Portland: 33-12 SU, 25-20 ATS

The Grizzlies have clawed back into the Western Conference playoff race after winning seven of their last eight games. Memphis pulled off a home-and-home sweep of Houston, while limiting the Rockets to 87 and 81 points in the two victories. It's no coincidence that the return of Marc Gasol has bolstered the Grizzlies' defense, posting 'unders' in six consecutive games. In all six contests, Memphis has failed to score 100 points, but the Grizzlies have also limited each opponent to 95 points or less.

The Blazers fell short on the second of a back-to-back at Golden State on Sunday night, 103-88 as 5 ½-point underdogs. Since losing at home to Philadelphia earlier this month, Portland has won five straight games at the Moda Center, including consecutive victories over Denver and Minnesota in which the Blazers scored at least 110 points. The oddsmakers are catching up with Portland's totals of late, as the Blazers have seen totals of at least 215 in each of the last five games (3-1-1 to the 'over').

Wizards at Warriors - 10:35 PM EST

Washington: 21-22 SU, 22-21 ATS
Golden State: 27-18 SU, 20-23-2 ATS

The Wizards continue their West Coast swing as Washington plays with revenge on Tuesday night at Oracle Arena. Washington has lost six consecutive meetings with Golden State dating back to 2011, including a 112-96 defeat at the Verizon Center earlier this month as three-point underdogs. The game was tied at the half before the Warriors outscored the Wizards, 34-15 in the third quarter to open things up. The Wizards have split the first two games on their current four-game trip, beating the Suns followed by a three-point setback at Utah.

Golden State is playing the third of a five-game homestand, as the Warriors snapped a two-game skid with Sunday's blowout of the Blazers. Since winning 10 consecutive contests, Mark Jackson's club owns a 3-5 SU and 2-4 ATS record, while failing to win back-to-back games in this stretch. The Warriors are just 4-8 ATS the past 12 home contests, as Golden State is playing just its fifth game at Oracle Arena against an Eastern Conference foe (3-1 SU and 2-2 ATS).

Pacers at Lakers - 10:35 PM EST

Indiana: 34-9 SU, 28-15 ATS
Los Angeles: 16-29 SU, 24-20-1 ATS

The Pacers suffered only their ninth loss of the season (sixth on a back-to-back), as Indiana concludes a five-game Western Conference road swing at Staples Center. Frank Vogel's squad put together a terrific performance to start the trip at Golden State, but has lost two of three, while erasing a double-digit deficit in an overtime triumph at Sacramento. Indiana has failed to cover in three straight games, while allowing at least 100 points in the last three contests following 16 consecutive games yielding double-digits.

The Lakers dropped five of seven games on their recent away swing, which ended with four consecutive defeats. Los Angeles managed covers as underdogs of seven points or more at Phoenix, Boston, Chicago, Miami, and Toronto, but slipped up as short 'dogs at Orlando and New York. Mike D'Antoni's team has eclipsed the 'over' in eight consecutive games, while giving up at least 100 points in 12 straight trips to the court.

Game of the Day: Spurs at Rockets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets (-1.5, 211)

The Houston Rockets had a rough weekend against the Memphis Grizzlies and things don’t get any easier when they host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday. The Rockets are one of the highest scoring teams in the league but were held to an average of 84 points in back-to-back losses to the Grizzlies. The Spurs are battling through injuries and dropped to 1-1 on their three-game road trip with a loss at Miami on Sunday.

San Antonio is down three starters with Kawhi Leonard (hand), Tiago Splitter (shoulder) and Danny Green out (hand) but has enough depth to cover the gaps against weaker clubs. The Spurs have a tendency to get in trouble against teams with legitimate championship aspirations and have suffered their last three losses against Portland, Oklahoma City and Miami. The Rockets want to be one of those teams with championship aspirations but are still working on consistency. “It’s just so frustrating,” Chandler Parsons told reporters. “We can be so good one night and bad the next. That is something that we have to figure out collectively.”

LINE HISTORY: The Rockets opened as 1.5-point home favorites while the total was posted at 211 points.

POWER RANKINGS: Spurs (-14.0) - Rockets (-11.0) + Home Court (-3.0) = Pick

KEY INJURIES: Spurs: Kawhi Leonard (Out - shoulder), Danny Green (Out - hand), Tiago Splitter (Out - shoulder). Rockets: Francisco Garcia (Questionable - knee), Ronnie Brewer (Doubtful - calf), Omer Asik - (Out - thigh)

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "Seeing a bit more money on the short home favorite in this game. Spurs are off a very disappointing effort in a revenge spot versus the Heat on Sunday - the first time they’ve played the Heat since their seven-game championship series lost back in June. I believe our bettors will be inclined to fade the Spurs after seeing that lackluster performance in a game the Spurs most assuredly wanted to win and came with max effort." - Peter Childs, Sportsbook.ag.

WHY BET THE SPURS (33-11 SU, 22-22 ATS, 26-17-1 O/U): San Antonio blew out Atlanta 105-79 to start its road trip but could not muster the same effort on the defensive end in an NBA Finals rematch against the Heat on Sunday. “The first and third quarter were basically the same,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich told reporters. “We didn’t do a very good job of starting out defensively. It’s a bad combination if we’re not disciplined enough defensively.” San Antonio ranks fifth in points allowed, at 96.9 points against per game.

WHY BET THE ROCKETS (29-17 SU, 22-22-2 ATS, 21-23-2 O/U): Houston’s starters all scored at least 13 points in the Dec. 25 meeting and James Harden and Chandler Parsons combined to go 8-for-12 from 8-point range. Parsons set an NBA record with 10 3-pointers in a half on Friday against Memphis but the Rockets still suffered an 88-87 home loss, and things got even worse when he cooled off the next night and Houston fell 99-81 on the road. Houston has taken each of the first two meetings this season while scoring an average of 111.5 points

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Houston.
* Road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
* Spurs are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings.
* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

CONSENSUS PICK: 55 percent of bets are on the Spurs (+1.5) while 60 percent of bets are on the Over.

Spurs are 9-1 ATS coming off a loss this season
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The San Antonio Spurs are the only team in the NBA that haven't lost back-to-back games this season and it's a scenario that has allowed Spurs backers to cash in.

Not only are the Spurs 10-0 SU after a loss this season, they are 9-1 ATS.

The Spurs - who are coming off a loss Sunday at Miami - are in Houston to take on the Rockets Tuesday, where San Antonio is listed as a 1.5-point road dog.

Road teams, especially faves, are red hot ATS in NBA
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Road teams are 30-21-1 against the spread (ATS) over the last seven days (ending Monday night) for a profitable winning margin of 58.82 percent. Road faves are even hotter at 14-7 ATS during that span for a lucrative winning mark of 66.67.

The Indiana Pacers are the only road favorite on the board Tuesday night after opening at -9.5 at the Los Angeles Lakers.
