Pick #1 – New York Knicks at Milwaukee Bucks
With baseball just around the corner and March madness upon us its an amazing time to be betting sports and building our bankrolls and tonight we get an 11 game NBA basketball schedule tonight to to try and do exactly that as we narrow down the value to the New York Knicks (26-38) versus the Milwaukee Bucks (29-33) in a showcase of teams really not performing at their best in the current moment. This wager sets off strong signals from the start as some books OVER/UNDER line started as high as a 213 and that has now dwindled to a 208.5 over / under most assuredly from pressure by the sharp money. Breaking down the contest even further we take note that the total has gone UNDER in 5 of New York's last 6 games and that the total has gone UNDER in 5 of Milwaukee's last 6 games rally highlighting the recent trend that these two teams simply are suffering on offense in this current state of the season. The season offensive and defensive performance statistics give us averages of 211.05 and 213.64 so it will be the current drop off on the offensive side of the ball that we will really be relying on in this unique spot. Both teams OVER/UNDER combined record for the year is 69–55-2 so we should fully expect a strong pull back to the middle average setting up a nice UNDER opportunity to be in. When it comes to pace of play New York is 13 and Milwaukee is 21 giving us a situation where we get the favored home team as the slower team which should really dictate the pace in this one. We also note that the Knicks are 13 in possessions per game (falling off drastically) and the Bucks are the number 20 team in the league (dropping significantly) so here again we get two teams just not playing offense like they normally do really setting the stage for a low scoring affair. The public consensus for this game is 100% in favor of the OVER so we get the nice general consensus and public fade that we always like to have on our side in this one as well. The computer predicted scoring outcome of this game is 207.6 so a 208.5 UNDER play given all the above looks like it should get us where we need to go and we get the final confidence builder with the AI predictor brain also agreeing.

Exciting times in sports with MLB baseball opening day less then a month away and we also get a 12 game slate of NBA basketball tonight to tide us over and we set our sights on the Sacramento Kings (25-37) versus the Denver Nuggets (28-34) presenting a game that hosts two mediocre teams that are in the must win phases of their seasons. This pick jumps off the page at first sight as it opened in some books as high as 219.5 OVER/UNDER line and has now shrunk to a 216 over / under really providing insight as to just where the sharp money has been funneled. Breaking down the contest even further we take note that the total has gone UNDER in 7 of Sacramento's last 8 games and that the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Denver's last 6 games at home really setting the stage for a slowed down game from two teams that are simply not up to par when it comes to there offensive selves. The season offensive and defensive performance statistics give us averages of 213.36 and 217 and we land in that rare value spot where both averages do not even pull the game total up to where it needs to be. Both teams OVER/UNDER combined record for the year is 66–57-1 so we should fully expect a strong pull back to the median making the UNDER play yet another great value spot to be in. When it comes to pace of play Sacramento is 27 and Denver is 8 giving us a situation where we get a team almost dead last in the league in offensive speed facing a total that is simply to high. We also note that the Kings are 24 in possessions per game and the Nuggets are the number 9 team in the league (dropping significantly) so here again we get the favored team at home playing a slower style of basketball recently going up against a team that enjoys a slower run as well. The public consensus for this game is 56% in favor of the OVER so we get the nice general consensus and public fade that we always like to have on our side in this one as well. The computer predicted scoring outcome of this game is 206.3 so a 216 UNDER play given all the above looks like it should get us where we need to go and we get the final confidence builder with the AI predictor brain also agreeing.

Its Friday and not only does that mean the weekend is almost here but also that we get a 10 game slate of NBA basketball an tonight we dial in on the Los Angeles Clippers (36-24) versus the Milwaukee Bucks (26-33) presenting a game that features the good versus the mediocre. This pick jumps off the page at first sight as it opened in some books as high as 216 OVER/UNDER line and has now plummeted to a 211.5 over / under really highlighting just where the sharp money has been channeling. Breaking down the contest even further we take note that total has gone UNDER in 5 of LA Clippers's last 7 games (4/6 for the Bucks) and that the total has gone UNDER in 4 of LA Clippers's last 6 games when playing Milwaukee presenting us with both past and recent evidence of these two teams simply playing paced down basketball which bodes very well for our side. The season offensive and defensive performance statistics give us averages of 213.10 and 210.35 and it will be the defense and recent trends that we will be looking towards when it comes to taking this one down. Both teams OVER/UNDER combined record for the year is 68–51 so we should fully expect a strong pull back to even ground making the OVER play yet another great opportunity to be in. When it comes to pace of play Los Angeles is 18 and Milwaukee is 21 presenting us two teams in the bottom third in the league in terms of offensive output which should lead to some lackluster scoring in sports like these. We also note that the Clippers are 18 in possessions per game and the Bucks are the number 21 team in the league (dropping significantly) so here again we get two very slow teams with one sinking farther down the depth charts at a rapid rate which is still not being reflected in the lines. The public consensus for this game is 56% in favor of the OVER so we get the nice general consensus and public fade that we always like to have on our side in this one as well. The computer predicted scoring outcome of this game is 205 so a 211.5 UNDER play given all the above looks like it should get us where we need to go and we get the final confidence builder with the AI predictor brain also agreeing.

The all star break was just a minor bump in the action and tonight we get a full 11 game slate of NBA basketball as we narrow down our interest on the Indiana Pacers (31-29) versus the San Antonio Spurs (45-13) giving us one of the best and slowest at home playing refreshed which should lead to plenty of paced down basketball. This bet is appealing from the start as it opened at a 211 OVER/UNDER line and has now fallen to a 207.5 over / under providing strong insight as to where the sharp bettors are placing their faith. Breaking down the match up even further we take note that the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Indiana's last 7 games on the road and that the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Indiana's last 6 games when playing San Antonio giving us both past and recent history of these two teams simply playing paced down basketball and especially against one another in the home environment of a dominating and snail like Spurs team. The season offensive and defensive performance statistics give us averages of 212.37 and 204.63 and it will be the Spurs stifling defense at home that will be looking towards bringing this one home. Both teams OVER/UNDER combined record for the year is 63–55 so we should fully expect an extreme regression back to a .500 record making the OVER play yet another great value spot to be in. When it comes to pace of play Indiana is 15 and San Antonio Spurs is 26 and we will gladly take this high UNDER as once again we get the better, slower team playing on their home court. We also note that the Pacers are 14 in possessions per game (dropping) and the Spurs are the number 27 team in the league so here again we get two teams that are not performing as optimally offensively as they once were setting us up for a nice play on an over estimated line. The public consensus for this game is 53% in favor of the OVER so we get the nice general consensus and public fade that we always like to have on our side in this one as well. The computer predicted scoring outcome of this game is 202.6 so a 207.5 UNDER play given all the above looks like it should get us where we need to go and we get the cherry on top with the AI predictor brain also agreeing.
