7-Unit Play Take LA Clippers -8 over Brooklyn (7:30 p.m. EST, Monday February 6)
The Clippers are quietly one of the hottest teams in the league. They have won seven of nine and their two losses were by one in Milwaukee (in a game they led at one point by 20+) and in Cleveland on the second of a B2B when they rested half the team. Tonight they face a very vulnerable Nets team that not only is missing Durant, but they have other key players on the way out of town and others coming in via the Dallas trade. The Nets will try their hardest but they just don’t have the firepower to stay competitive here tonight. LA has covered in seven of their last eight, and we think this team won’t overlook the Nets since they had lots of struggles before things came together for this recent positive run.
Best of Luck, Doc’s Sports
Robert Ferringo
3-Unit Play. Take ‘Over’ 234.5 Oklahoma City at Golden State (10 p.m., Monday, February 6)
The Warriors are going to have to figure out the second half of their season without their leader. Surry will be out for the foreseeable future with a knee injury so look for Jordan Poole to push his game to the next level to try and weather this storm. OKC is almost a must watch every night and with SGA playing at an ALL NBA level they will continue to be on the list of League Pass watches. This should be a shootout is GS so take the over.
Carpe Diem. Good Luck.

7-Unit Play. #512. Take Utah Jazz -9 over Dallas Mavericks (Monday @ 9:10pm est)
Lot of buzz here for the Dallas Mavericks after they swing the trade here for Kyrie. Good for them. We will see if he is a rental or he will be a long term player for them as the reason why Kyrie left Brooklyn was beacuse Sean Marks refused to give him a long term contract so he wanted to be traded. The Nets got back some decent asset including much needed assets to build around Durant and to get clear leadership on the team as they hope Dinwiddie will be a strong 3rd option for the team behind Durant and Simmons. Per this game, the Jazz already beat this team the other day and I think this beat down will be worse beacuse they just lost to the Hawks by double digits. This team knows that all eyes will be on Dallas going forward with such a dynamic backcourt, but either player will be suit up today until Kyrie's physical comes back good. Utah beat the Clippers by 20+ points at one point and has solid talent with Markannen, Clarkson, Conley, Sexton, and this team went uncharacterstically 30% from 3 point land last agme and will likely bounce-back here. We have Utah winning by 16 points here today so we will lay the points.

5-Unit Play #503-504 Cleveland/Washington GAME TOTAL UNDER 221.5-110 (Monday, February 6, 2023, 7:00 PM)
Take Cleveland/Washington GAME TOTAL UNDER as my top NBA pick for Monday night. Cleveland has averaged 109.3 points per game on the road this season holding opponents to 107.8 points per game against them. Cleveland has also held opponents to just 105.4 points per game against them over their last 5 games and I do expect them to step up defensively tonight. Washington has allowed just 112.2 points per game over their last 5 games and they have averaged 113.4 points per game at home this season. Washington has allowed just 103 points, 103 points, and 106 points in their last 3 victories overall and they face a Cleveland team that just played at Indiana yesterday holding Indiana to just 103 points against them. These 2 teams met once this season and they put up 224 total points with that game going into overtime and the previous 5 games played between these 2 teams that was the only game went over 217 total points. The over/under also happens to be 0-6 in Cleveland’s last 6 games when playing with no rest. Play the UNDER
3-Unit Play #504 Washington +2.5-110 over Cleveland (Monday, February 6, 2023, 7:00 PM)
Take Washington ATS as my top NBA pick for Monday night. This pick falls into 1 of my top NBA systems and I do have Washington winning this game outright here tonight. Washington faces a Cleveland team that just played in Indiana yesterday and this is a Washington team coming off a close 2 point loss at Brooklyn and an 8-point loss against Portland so they are definitely hungry coming into this game. Now before those 2 losses Washington had 6 straight wins including 5 of those 6 on the road. Play Washington ATS
Scott Spreitzer
5-Unit Play: Take 507 Kings -5.5 over Rockets (8:10 p.m., Monday, February 6)
The Kings got blasted by New Orleans last night but I’m betting they bounce back with a spread-covering win on Monday. They’re 10-1 ATS on the road against teams with a losing home record and they’ve already beaten Houston by 25 and 20 points this season and should look at the Rockets as a case of just what the doctor ordered. De’Aaron Fox is listed as questionable, so he may miss another game but I’m good with this side whether he plays or not. The Kings have won and covered the last four meetings and I’m betting they extend the run. I’m laying the points with the Kings on Monday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
Doug Upstone
2 Unit Play. Take #510 Chicago -10.5 over San Antonio (8:10 p.m. ET, Monday, February 6)
San Antonio has lost seven straight and failed to cover the last six of those. The Spurs are starting their annual rodeo trip and as bad as it’s been, this might be worse. The Spurs have several injuries which has hurt them offensively but their defense has been atrocious. Even if you include the 98 points San Antonio allowed to Brooklyn 98 points 13 days ago, in their last dozen starts they have allowed 129 PPG. The Spurs are the worst defensive team by almost every metric and with Chicago 7th in three-point percentage, the visitor is 1-8 ATS in road games versus 3-point shooting teams making 37% or higher, losing by 24.5 PPG.
August Young
7-Unit NBA: (512) UTAH JAZZ -9 -110 (2/6/2023 @ 9:00PM EST) Luka Doncic is expected to miss this game for the Mavs, while Kyrie Irving is not yet available to play since the trade with the Nets. We are all aware of what Doncic brings to the table, but to put it in to perspective, we thought we would share some numbers. The Mavs score 120.47 points per 100 possessions when he's on the floor, opposed to just 108.99 when he's on the bench. They show drastic improvements in eFG%, TS%, At Rim FG%, and overall shot quality rating. That aside; Dallas are just 19-33 ATS on the season for a -28.8% ROI, which includes a negative -2.45 cover margin. It's been even worse on the road where they are 9-17 ATS for a -33.6% ROI and -4.17 cover margin. This is a hellish matchup against a Jazz team that are 30-23 ATS, which includes going 16-11 at home, and 7-1 ATS for a +56.2% ROI when listed as at least seven-point home favorites. Utah rank #4 in the NBA in terms of adjusted offensive rating and should have their way against the Mavs that rank 24th in adjusted defensive rating. Let's also add that Utah have played the much tougher strength of schedule so far this season. Finally, Dallas are just 1-8 ATS in their L/9 games following an ATS win, while the Jazz are 5-0 in their L/5 games following an ATS loss. Let's have ourselves a blowout in Salt Lake City.

4-Unit Play. Take #504 Washington (+3) over Cleveland (7:10 p.m., Monday, Feb. 6th)
We really like the Wizards in this spot. Washington has been playing solid basketball as of late despite losing their last two games overall. The Cavs will be playing a back-to-back in this one, and although they have done well in the second night of back-to-backs, this is a two-night road b-t-b and those aren't easy. The Cavs ended up pulling away from the Pacers last night, but four of their starters played over 30 minutes, and three of their bench guys played at least 20. The Cavs are 6-14-2 ATS in their last 22 road games while the Wizards are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take the home dog in this one.
Best of Luck - Strike Point Sports

3 Unit Play Take #502 Detroit +11 over Boston (7:05pm est):
The Boston Celtics look out of sync right now as they come into this game failing to cover 7 of their last 8 contests with the lone cover coming against Brooklyn and in a game the Nets didn't even look to be trying. The Celtics have also struggled of late against below .500 teams like Detroit going just 3-9 ATS versus them.
The Detroit Pistons have been a strong team to bet at home as a big underdog again this season as they've covered over 60% of their home games when getting +7.5 points or more and did the same thing the past two seasons as well.
Take Detroit plus the points in this one.
Thank you and good luck,
