Wednesday Tips
March 9, 2010 By Kevin Rogers VegasInsider.com The Wednesday NBA card includes nine games, while three road teams will be laying points. The three home underdogs are teams that will likely miss the playoffs, but each club has the potential to pull off an outright upset. We'll start in the Motor City as the Pistons go for a second straight win against the Jazz. Jazz (40-22 SU, 38-21-3 ATS) at Pistons (22-41 SU, 27-34-2 ATS) Utah plays the second end of a back-to-back at the Palace of Auburn Hills, battling a Detroit team fresh off an overtime victory over Houston on Sunday. The Pistons overcame a late six-point deficit in regulation to force overtime before winning outright as 1 ½-point underdogs. The Jazz have turned into one of the better road wagers over the last two months, going 13-2-2 ATS the last 17 away from Salt Lake City. Despite a pair of slip-ups against the Clippers and Kings, Utah owns a 5-2 ATS mark the previous seven as road favorites, with each win coming by at least eight points. The Pistons are 6-2 ATS the last eight games with at least one day of rest, with all games coming after the All-Star Break. Detroit's last three home opponents haven't been a cakewalk, battling San Antonio, Boston, and Houston, as each contest has been decided by eight points or less. Jerry Sloan's squad had struggled in the past with no rest coming off Tuesday's game in Chicago. This season has been a different story as Utah is 8-4-1 ATS on the second end of a back-to-back. The Jazz are 4-1-1 ATS on the road with no rest since mid-November, including victories at Dallas, San Antonio, and New Orleans. The only flaw with this record is that many of those covers came in the underdog role, as Utah is 6-7 SU with no rest (2-3 SU/ATS as a favorite). The Jazz held off the Pistons in overtime, 100-97 on November 21, but Detroit managed a cover as 8 ½-point 'dogs. Prior to that ATS loss, Utah was on an 8-1 ATS run in this series, while winning outright the last four meetings at the Palace. Nuggets (42-21 SU, 29-30-4 ATS) at Wolves (14-50 SU, 32-32 ATS) Denver and Minnesota meet up for the final time this season as the Nuggets go for a third victory over the Wolves. The Nuggets begin a four-game road trip looking to extend their winning streak to four after Sunday's victory over the Blazers. The Wolves try to put a halt to a six-game skid following Monday's 13-point loss to the red-hot Mavs The Nuggets have dropped three of their past four away from the Pepsi Center, including the last two. Granted, the losses came to the Lakers and Suns, but Denver is just 1-7 ATS the last eight when laying points on the road. The Wolves were riding a nice hot streak at the Target Center, covering nine of ten games from January through late February. However, Minnesota has been blown out in each of its last three at home, falling by double-digits to Portland, Houston, and Dallas. The defense suffered in each of those losses as the Wolves allowed at least 110 points in each defeat. Denver is 9-1 SU the last ten meetings in this series, but Minnesota is a respectable 6-4 ATS. The Wolves pulled off an improbable upset at Pepsi Center on November 29 by knocking off the Nuggets, 106-100 as 14 ½-point 'dogs. Minnesota picked up a cover as 14-point 'dogs in a 105-94 loss on January 10, the first game back following an eight-game absence for Carmelo Anthony. Raptors (32-29 SU, 28-33 ATS) at Kings (21-42 SU, 31-29-3 ATS) Both Toronto and Sacramento are playing the second leg of a back-to-back as each squad is off a road contest on Tuesday. The Raptors can't cover a game to save themselves, riding a seven-game ATS skid entering the first game of their West Coast trip against the Lakers. Sacramento has been a bettor's friend of late, cashing in five of its last six games. The Kings did have a five-game ATS win streak snapped in a loss Sunday night to the Thunder, the second straight game Sacramento has allowed 108 points. The Raptors are 3-6 SU the last nine away from the Air Canada Center, but the wins aren't exactly over top-tier opponents (Knicks twice and Nets). Toronto has been listed as a road favorite just four times this season, going 2-2 SU/ATS. The kryptonite for Jay Triano's club has been playing with no rest, compiling a 5-9 SU and 3-11 ATS mark. The Kings haven't played much better in this rest situation, going 6-10 SU and 5-9-2 ATS. Toronto managed a late cover against Sacramento on Super Bowl Sunday, 115-104 as eight-point favorites. The Raptors shot a scorching 56% from the floor, including a 36 point effort out of Chris Bosh. The home team has won nine of the last ten meetings, but Toronto picked up a 107-101 win at Arco Arena last December as three-point 'chalk.' What else to watch for: -- The Mavs put their 12-game winning streak on the line against the Nets. Yes, New Jersey is just 7-56, but the Nets own a 7-0-1 ATS run the last eight as road underdogs. Dallas is 2-22 ATS the previous 24 as home 'chalk,' while trying to win only its second game in this span at home by more than 10 points. -- The Knicks head to the Lone Star State to begin a five-game road trip in San Antonio against the Spurs. Which New York team will show up to the Alamo? The club that knocked off the Hawks on Monday by one point as seven-point 'dogs, or the team that was blown out by the lowly Nets at home as 8 ½-point favorites? The Knicks have hung around in road covers at Cleveland, Boston, and Toronto over the last month, but have also dropped two road games by more than 30 points in this stretch. The Spurs are riding a 4-1 SU/ATS hot streak, but are without point guard Tony Parker, who broke his hand in last week's win at Memphis
