I like to provide some insight into the why and finally had some time to study and post plays... so here they are:
TOTAL OF THE DAY - TORONTO at WASHINGTON (-3, 204)
Toronto Raptors have been playing better much better since the departure of Vince Carter to the NJ Nets. Current streak is 7-2 SU and 6-3 ATS the past nine games, but are just 3-18 SU (8-11 ATS) on the road. Their recent success has only one win away from home.
Washington's Larry Hughes (second on the team in scoring - 21.2 points per game, and leads the team in assists - 5.3 assists per game) was lost for the next month due to a broken thumb suffered against Phoenix this weekend. The Wizards were off to a great start (22-13 SU), but have since gone 0-2 SU/ATS without their key playmaker.
Some stats: WASH is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings while the Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings between the teams. The Under is 7-2 in TOR last nine overall and the Under is 3-1 in WAS last four home games.
With Toronto on the road and Washington without Hughes plus the recent stats to support, CAESAR'S PLEASER IS UNDER 204 FOR 3 UNITS
DALLAS (-8 1/2, 204 1/2) at CHARLOTTE
Although this may seem like a possible spot for a Maverick's letdown, Dallas plays their best with Michael Finley. Since returning from injury, Dallas has been playing well. Dallas is 12-4 SU and 11-5 ATS their past sixteen games with Finley in the lineup which includes a 99-77 home win over the Clippers last night. Now they must travel without rest and play a weak non-conference opponent. However, road favorites in this price range are a solid 69% ATS after three consecutive home wins.
Although the Hornets have played well at home this season (compared to road games), Dallas is still third best in the NBA in scoring. The Mavericks have averaged 99 points per game on the road and Charlotte's lack of depth will show. The Mavs have too many offensive options.
Some stats: DAL is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 overall, while CHAR is 1-3 ATS in their last four overall.
CAESAR'S PLEASER IS DALLAS -8 1/2 FOR 2 UNITS
TV GAMES
INDIANA at MIAMI (-7 1/2, 192) (ESPN)
CAESAR'S LEAN IS TO MIAMI -7 1/2 because INDY is 0-4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and the Under is 5-0 in IND last five overall. MIAMI is 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight overall and the Over is 12-4 in MIA last 16 overall.
SAN ANTONIO (-2, 195 1/2) at PHOENIX (ESPN)
Phoenix's Steve Nash returns, but the UNDER is the play.
Good Luck Everyone...
