This is a play on the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Memphis has won five straight games and that is keeping this price down.

The Grizzlies are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. Portland is coming off a 21-point loss against San Antonio but is in a good spot here. Damian Lillard averages a team-high 28.1 ppg and has scored 35 or more points in three of the past four games. He had 35 against the Spurs on Monday but the Blazers were trounced 125-104 at home.

This is a play on the SYRACUSE ORANGE for our CBB Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Syracuse is coming off a blowout loss against Pittsburgh as it lost by 20 points, allowing 96 points which was the most points allowed this season. The Orange have lost three of their last four games and are just 1-3 in the ACC but are back home following two straight road games. Syracuse is known for its tough 2-3 zone, and this could be the team the Orange need to play to turn things around as Miami is last in the ACC in three-point shooting at 28.1 percent. Injury-plagued Miami is coming off an upset win Louisville, ranked 16th at the time, 78-72 on Saturday night. Despite having just seven scholarship players available, Miami got a great effort from guard Isaiah Wong, who scored a career-high 30 points, including 21 in the second half. The Hurricanes are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 road games while the Orange are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS loss. 10* (616) Syracuse Orange

This is a play on the TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS for our NFL Divisional Game of the Year. Tampa Bay looks for revenge after suffering a pair of losses against the Saints during the regular season. The Saints defeated the Buccaneers twice in the regular season, by a score of 34-23 in Week 1 and handily by a score of 38-3 in Week 9. Over the last five games since the Tampa Bay bye week, the Bucs have averaged 35.8 ppg as the offense has found its groove. The Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games after allowing less than 90 yards rushing in their previous game.

Here, we play against home teams in a game involving two teams averaging 1.25 or fewer turnovers per game, after a game where they forced no turnovers. This situation is 37-14 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (307) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Rockets won the first meeting of this back-to-back by four points on Thursday. They managed to win this game despite playing without any proven primary ball handlers and they came together to put forth a great effort but that means letdown here. It was an especially satisfying victory for a team that heard James Harden publicly declare that the Rockets were inadequate. The Rockets are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The Spurs have won their last two games following a loss and will be plenty motivated here. San Antonio has lost four straight games at home but this is the bounce back game as the Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. Here, we play on favorites revenging a straight up loss as a favorite of seven or more points, off a home loss. This situation is 181-118 ATS (60.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (522) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the GREEN BAY PACKERS for our NFL Saturday Enforcer. Green Bay is back in action following its bye week and has a big home field advantage here, not because of the crowd, but because of the weather and its familiarity to it. The Green Bay defense, which has allowed 25 points or less in its last six games, is an underrated unit and it will be facing an inconsistent Rams offense that has scored more than 30 points only twice in their last 10 games. Rams quarterback Jared Goff is only a few weeks removed from surgery on the thumb of his throwing hand. He appeared to struggle with his grip last week and that can only get worse in freezing temperatures. While the Rams defense is solid and ranked No. 1 in the NFL, Aaron Donald will almost certainly be playing, but with a rib injury and they are facing the No. 1 scoring offense in the NFL. Here, we play against road teams off an upset win as an underdog, with a winning record playing another winning team in the second half of the season. This situation is 131-79 ATS (62.4 percent) since 1983. 10* (302) Green Bay Packers

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Memphis recorded a 118-107 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday in the first of the back-to-back set. The Grizzles set a franchise-record with 80 points in the paint and have now won a season high three straight games. The Timberwolves led by 10 points entering the fourth quarter on Wednesday before collapsing and being outscored 38-17 over the final 12 minutes. Defense has been a continual problem for the Timberwolves, who rank 27th in points allowed at 118.7 ppg but this is a good spot for a bounce back and revenge. Here, we play on teams with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 coming off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite, playing a team with a losing record. This situation is 37-12 ATS (75.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (512) Minnesota Timberwolves

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Dallas has won three straight games, the latest being a 14-point win over Orlando. Luka Doncic has averaged 30.3 ppg, 11.7 rpg and 11.3 apg during the Mavericks three-game winning streak and leads the team in all three categories. The Mavericks are 22-9-1 ATS in their last 32 road games against teams with a winning home record. Charlotte has won four straight games, three as an underdog, and the most recent which was a 21-point win over the Knicks. The Hornets won 118-99 in the last matchup between these two teams on Dec. 30 so there is revenge in play tonight. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after successfully covering the spread in two or more consecutive games, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .501 and .600. This situation is 36-11 ATS (76.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (549) Dallas Mavericks

This is a ply on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. San Antonio is coming off an eight-point loss against Minnesota which snapped a three-game winning streak. The Spurs shot season lows from the field (38.3 percent), from three-point range (26.7 percent) and from the foul line (57.1 percent).

Oklahoma City has won three straight games, all as underdogs. The Thunder are back home for the first time in 2021 but they are 0-3 in their own building.

This situation is 24-5 ATS (82.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (539) San Antonio Spurs

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. San Antonio has won three straight games including an overtime win over Minnesota on Saturday. The other two wins came against the Clippers and Lakers so it has been a good run for the Spurs which had lost four straight games prior to this. They did fail to cover though and the Spurs are 0-5 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. The Minnesota loss on Saturday was its seventh straight. The Timberwolves are at the bottom of the Western Conference standings but played better against the Spurs in the first game of the back-to-back as they shot 50 percent which was their second best shooting percentage during the skid. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after four straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 47 percent or higher going up against an opponent after two straight games making nine or more three-point shots. This situation is 36-12 ATS (75 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (514) Minnesota Timberwolves
