Phoenix/ NY Knicks Under 198.5: Their used to be a time when an OU line of 215 was still too low in a Knicks/ Suns home hame, but this is a NBA this year. The Suns are having problems scoring of late as they have averaged just 92.8 ppg in their last 5 games, while on the road they have put up just 91.7 ppg. Now they get to face a Knicks squad that went out and got some pieces to help at the defensive end and it's starting to pay dividends. The Knicks are 17th in the league in points allowed (95.2 ppg), but in their last 5 games they have allowed just 93.2 ppg. The new pieces this team went out and got hasn't really helped them on the offensive end as last year they were 2nd in the league in scoring (106.5 ppg), while they come into this one 17th in scoring (93.9 ppg). The Knicks also shot better last year (45.7 %) than this year (41.7 %), by a pretty wide margin. The Knicks have really struggled to score of late as they have averaged just 88 ppg in their last 5 games so the fact that the Suns are allowing 106 ppg in their last 5 isn't really a concern as I just don't see the Knicks offense going crazy in this one. Last year Knick home games averaged 214.3 ppg, but in the new NBA that number has dropped to 191.7 ppg. A 22.6 ppp drop. Are you serious? Go low in this one. KEY TRENDS--- PHOENIX is 8-1 UNDER when the total is between 190 and 199.5 points this season, while NEW YORK is 23-10 UNDER when the total is between 190 and 199.5 points over the last 3 seasons.
ATLANTA -1.5 over Portland: The Hawks come in playing very good ball as they are 10-5 on the year and have won 4 in a row at home, including a 15 point win over the Bulls. Portland is not better than the Bulls. The Hawks are 6-1 at home this year and have outscored their opponents by an average of 10.6 ppg on their home floor. Portland has had a good start to their year, but they are just 2-4 on the road, compared to 6-1 at home. The Trailblazers have had problems scoring on the road (90 ppg) and it won't get any easier vs an Atlanta team that has allowed just 92.4 ppg at home. Atlanta has not had problems scoring at home ads they have averaged 103 ppg there and should be able to put some points up vs a Portland team that has allowed 97.4 ppg in their last 5 games. Bottom line is that Atlanta is te better team here, especially at home and they should have little trouble disposing of the Blazers team that is playing it's 4th in a row on the road.


POWER ANGLE PLAY
Oklahoma City -10.5 over WASHINGTON: The Thunder are off a big win in Boston, but they have had a day off since that game so i really don't see a let down here. They also don't have any big games on deck as after this game they have 3 more of the worst teams on deck, so I expect them to be fully focused here. Washington is the worst team in the league at 1-12 SU, while going 3-10 ATS overall and 1-6 ATS at home. The Wizards are 28th in scoring (86.2 ppg), 29th in FG% (41%), 27th in 3pt FG% (28%) and even 26th in FT% (71.4%) this team just can score from any where on the court. They also haven't been good on defense, ranking 24th in points allowed (98.1 ppg) and 27th in 3pt defense (37.4%). It won't get easier for the Wizards tonight as the Thunder have been effective at both ends of the floor. OKC is 5th in scoring (100.3 ppg), 5th in FG% (46.8%), 8th in 3pt% (37.2% and 1st in FT% (81.3%). on defense they have allowed 95.1 ppg (16th), but they are 6th in defensive FG% (42.7%) and 4th in 3pt defense (29.3%). The Wizards haven't beaten the Thunder since a 104-95 home win Dec. 27, 2008 - the first matchup between the teams after Oklahoma City relocated from Seattle, while Durant, who grew up in the Washington, D.C. area, is averaging 31.1 points in seven games against the Wizards - his highest mark against any team. This should be an easy win for the Thunder here. POWER ANGLE FOR THIS PLAY--- Play against home underdogs that are playing 6 or more games in 10 days, if they are a terrible team (<=25%) playing a team with a winning record. This play is 48-19 the last 5 seasons.
