Game: New York at Atlanta (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: 2 units on Atlanta -5

This New York team has improved quite a bit, but is still quite a mystery. They seem to play really well against the good teams, but play uninspired against the poor teams, such as Atlanta. The Knicks have been just 17-35 ATS over their last 52 games against teams with a winning percentage under .400. This season they have lost 12 of 17 to teams with losing records, and 6 of those 12 have been by 17 points or more, nine by double digits, and 11 by 8+ points. They are also a very poor 7-20 ATS in back-to-back games, and have dropped their last four on the road by an average of 14-ppg, getting no closer than eight points.

Memphis just can't stop anyone, as they have allowed 112.8-points per game (PPG) in their last nine games while scoring 104.6-ppg themselves. Since this team has changed to a scoring team early in the season they have been 8-0 to the OVER with a posted total under 200 points. Detroit has gone 4-0 over teams with losing records on the road, and 8-3 to the OVER when the opponent gives up 100+ points a game. Detroit gives up some points to teams that can score. Phoenix 108, Golden St. 111, Washington 104, 111 points, Utah 103 and 100 points. This game should have no trouble topping the 200+ points mark.

Houston has struggled lately, and that is no time to be playing the Spurs. San Antonio lost to Houston at home, and will be playing with revenge on their minds. San Antonio has an amazing 106-5-1 ATS record in their last 112 road wins, so when they win on the road they do it convincingly. Houston has been one of the worst teams in the NBA playing as a home dog. They have been 9-23 ATS in their last 32 games.
