Inside the Paint - Friday
March 22, 2013
On Wednesday, Miami overcame a 27-point deficit in the third quarter and won their 24th consecutive game, beating Cleveland 98-95 on the road. Despite being down 21 at halftime, the Heat outscored the Cavaliers by 24 points (64-40) in the final two quarters and actually led by nine points late in the fourth. Cleveland made a late rally and had a chance to take the lead but they came up short. The Cavaliers covered as 11-point home ‘dogs but the Heat managed to lock up another second-half cover as 13 ½-point favorites.
It was the second straight game that Miami rallied from a halftime deficit after the club beat Boston 105-103 at TD Garden on Monday. Even though the Heat didn’t cover the point-spread (5.5) in Monday’s win either, they still own a 14-10 record versus the number during this win streak.
Offshore sportsbook Bovada.lv has released updated Heat props on their current winning streak.
The current ‘over/under’ on the streak is set at 29, with bettors laying -120 on either option.
Miami will play its next two at home, against Detroit on Friday and Charlotte on Sunday.
After the short homestand and assuming the Heat don’t get shocked, the streak will be up to 26 and play four straight on the road starting Monday at Orlando. The Magic are very young and they don’t play a lick of defense but they score bunches and Miami will be playing on no rest. However, make a note that Miami is 11-1 SU and 5-7 ATS when facing back-to-back spots this season.
After Orlando, a tough road test is on tap for Wednesday at Chicago. If they beat the Bulls, they head to New Orleans and a victory over the Hornets would extend the streak to 29, which takes us back to the prop at Bovada.lv.
Bettors would be gearing up for a Mar. 31 battle at San Antonio, who are currently the top seed in the Western Conference. A road win over the Spurs would push the streak to 30 and closer to the NBA record of 33 straight wins set by the Los Angeles Lakers in the 1971-72 season.
Those believing Miami will top that number can get down at Bovada.lv as well. The offshore outfit has 6/1 odds (Bet $100 to win $600) on the Heat that they will set the NBA record of 34 straight wins.
After the Spurs, Miami hosts the Knicks, visits Charlotte and hosts Philadelphia and Milwaukee - the Bucks game would be No. 34.
"The Heat are always a heavily bet team and due to their current streak, their spreads are reflecting this. I wouldn't say they are more heavily bet on a daily basis on the spread. However, even at 11/10, they are still seeing the highest volume of money wagered on them to win the title," said Bovada Sportsbook manager Kevin Bradley said.
If they beat the Bucks at home on Apr. 9 and break the record, the Heat will only have five regular season games remaining. Bovada.lv has odds of 10/1 (Bet $100 to win $1,000) that Miami will close the season with 39 consecutive wins and if you look at the schedule, it’s very doable.
The Heat opened as a 16-point home favorite over Detroit on Friday and you could argue that the number is too low. The Pistons enter this contest with nine straight wins and the average loss has been by 17.5 points per game during this skid. Detroit did beat Miami 109-99 on Dec. 28 but the Heat have won eight of the last 10 meetings.
Along with this game, there are 10 other contests on Friday’s board and the majority of them are meaningless but you can still wager on them. With that being said, here’s my quick handicap on the entire card.
I personally like to play totals in the NBA and after watching the ‘under’ go 11-3 the past two nights, I’m looking for things to balance out tonight. Not to mention, the ‘under’ went 11-5 in Thursday’s NCAA Tournament action too.
New York at Toronto: Revenge game for the Knicks, who have dropped all three meetings against the Raptors this season. Still, New York lacks depth right now and is a tough team to back.
Milwaukee at Indiana: This is the only matchup tonight that features two playoff teams going head-to-head. Home team has won and covered the first three encounters this season.
Oklahoma City at Orlando: The Thunder have dropped two in a row so losing three would be surprising. OKC just beat Orlando 117-104 last Friday at home but didn’t cover the heavy wood (-17.5). Including that loss, Magic have dropped five straight. Little hesitant to back the ‘over’ here even though last week’s game was a wire-to-wire shootout.
Portland at Atlanta: Nice road win by the Trail Blazers last night at Chicago (99-89). With Portland playing on no rest and knowing the ‘under’ has cashed in five straight between the pair, makes you lean ‘under’ here tonight but an opener of 200 seems high for a reason.
Memphis at New Orleans: Possible home ‘dog look with the Hornets, who just surprised the Celtics on Wednesday. The Grizzlies are much better than New Orleans and another ugly win seems likely here.
Cleveland at Houston: I never back teams off bad losses and the Cavaliers left it all on the line Wednesday against the Heat. Ever since the trade, the Rockets attack is sluggish and total players have seen the ‘under’ cash in four straight and seven of the last 10. The pace is still high but losing Douglas, Morris and Patterson has hurt the outside shooting. It’s not smart to lay double digits with Houston, who is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games.
Boston at Dallas: After watching the Celtics lose to the Hornets on Wednesday, it’s hard to back this team on the road (12-21 SU, 12-19 ATS). Dallas has dropped two in a row at home and will be looking to avenge a 117-115 overtime loss at Boston earlier this season.
Utah at San Antonio: No early number because the Spurs point guard Tony Parker (ankle) could return. The Jazz are in a tailspin right now and they just can’t score consistently. In the last 10, the club is 3-7 and two of the losses came against the Pistons and Bobcats.
Minnesota at Phoenix: You would expect both teams to roll the ball out here and just run up and down the court. The Timberwolves playing are playing on no rest after losing to Sacramento (97-100) last night. Phoenix is off a humbling loss to Washington after beating the L.A. Lakers two nights earlier. Honestly, you shouldn’t bet on this game.
Washington at L.A. Lakers: No overnight line due to the Lakers’ health issues. Kobe Bryant (ankle) is expected to play and Pau Gasol (foot) might return as well. Lakers have been a bully at home recently and anything but a win would be surprising for them.

Fullcourt press: Saturday's NBA betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Detroit Pistons at Charlotte Bobcats (-1.5, 198.5)
The Charlotte Bobcats will be in an unaccustomed role of favorites when they host the skidding Detroit Pistons. Charlotte will be seeking a season high-tying third consecutive victory against a Detroit squad that has dropped 10 consecutive games and is coming off a 14-point loss at red-hot Miami on Friday. The Pistons’ margin of defeat during the 10-game skid is a bloated 17.2 points. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
Toronto Raptors at New York Knicks (-6, 192)
New York posted a 99-94 victory in Toronto on Friday and remain one game behind Indiana in the Eastern Conference playoff race. The Raptors have lost 10 of 13 games and could be without forward Rudy Gay due to a back ailment. The underdog is 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings.
Indiana Pacers at Chicago Bulls (-3.5, 180)
The Pacers look to complete a four-game season sweep of the Bulls Saturday. Chicago has lost six of eight games and is holding out hope that star point guard Derrick Rose will soon return from knee surgery. The Pacers prevailed 80-76 in their last visit to Chicago on Dec. 4 and are 8-1 ATS in their last nine vs. NBA Central foes.
Boston Celtics at Memphis Grizzlies (-8, 177.5)
The Celtics have suffered season-ending injuries to a pair of guards and may be without another on Saturday after Courtney Lee went down with a sprained ankle in the fourth quarter of Friday’s 104-94 loss at Dallas. The Grizzlies are on the verge of clinching a playoff spot and are locked in a battle for positioning with the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference. Memphis has won nine straight home games, but the road team has taken six of the last seven in the series, including a 93-83 Grizzlies' triumph in Boston on Jan. 2.
Sacramento Kings at Denver Nuggets (-10.5, 220.5)
Denver needed a miraculous comeback to keep its winning streak intact and will seek its 15th consecutive victory against the visiting Sacramento Kings on Saturday. The Nuggets erased a five-point deficit in the final 10 seconds to overcome Philadelphia on Thursday, marking their 16th straight win at home and wrapping up a postseason berth in the process. The Nuggets have won eight straight meetings against Sacramento, which is in the midst of one of its better stretches and can match a season high with its third straight victory. Denver has averaged 119 points in its six wins over the Kings the past two seasons and Sacramento has scored 100 points in 17 of its last 19 games. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
Brooklyn Nets at Los Angeles Clippers (-8.5, 193)
The Brooklyn Nets have clinched a playoff spot and they are 2-0 on a season-long, eight-game road trip entering Saturday’s contest. The Clippers are closing in on the franchise record of 49 wins, set in 1974-75 when they were known as the Buffalo Braves. They are also on the verge of wrapping up the Pacific Division title. The teams split the previous two regular-season meetings, which both teams winning on their home floors. The over is 5-0 in the Nets’ last five overall.
Washington Wizards at Golden State Warriors (-8.5, 194)
The Wizards have won back-to-back road games for the first time this season and overcame an 18-point deficit to take down the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Washington has picked up wins in five of its last six games and is playing the traditional role of spoiler down the stretch. But the Warriors have taken four straight in the series while averaging 110.3 points. The Wizards are 8-0 ATS in their last eight Saturday games.

Spurs at Rockets: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets (+1.5, 213.5)
Tony Parker excelled in his first game back and the San Antonio Spurs attempt to complete a four-game sweep of Houston when they visit the Rockets on Sunday. Parker had 22 points in Friday’s overtime victory over the Utah Jazz after missing the previous eight with an ankle injury. The victory allowed the Spurs to maintain their 2 1/2-game lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in the battle for the top spot in the Western Conference.
Houston is 4-1 on a seven-game homestand and entering a stretch in which it plays the Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers to complete the month. “These next four are going to really test us,” point guard Jeremy Lin said after Friday’s rout of the Cleveland Cavaliers. “We’re going to play really, really good teams. This is going to be it. This could make or break it for us so we realize that.” The Rockets can improve to a season-high eight games above .500 by beating the Spurs. San Antonio enters with a four-game winning streak and has averaged 123.3 points in winning the first three meetings with Houston.
TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports Southwest (San Antonio), Comcast SportsNet Houston
ABOUT THE SPURS (53-16): Parker played nearly 37 minutes in his first outing since March 1. He was tentative early but was at the top of his game in overtime when he scored six of San Antonio’s 14 points. “Tony was a little bit shy in the first half,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said afterward. “He was just trying to feel his way a little bit. The game got tight at the end in regulation and then in overtime, and he was Tony Parker. Like I said, up until the time he got hurt, there wasn’t a point guard in the league playing better than Tony Parker.” Forward Tim Duncan had 19 points and 16 rebounds against Utah and moved into 13th-place on the all-time rebounding list with 13,113, surpassing Shaquille O’Neal (13,099). Duncan is averaging 25.5 points and 15 rebounds over the last four games.
ABOUT THE ROCKETS (38-31): Guard James Harden scored 20 points against Cleveland and has tallied 20 or more in 24 of his last 26 outings. Harden is averaging 31 points in two games against the Spurs this season. He missed one of the matchups with an ankle injury. Lin matched his career high with 38 points in the game Harden was sidelined. Lin scored a season-low four points against the Cavaliers after averaging 23 over his previous three outings. Center Omer Asik has grabbed 10 or more rebounds in 22 of the last 24 games. He had 13 points and 11 boards against Cleveland.
TRENDS:
* Spurs are 6-0 ATS in their last six Sunday games.
* Rockets are 1-6 ATS in their last seven Sunday games.
* Under is 5-0 in Rockets’ last five overall.
* Spurs are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
BUZZER BEATERS
1. San Antonio has won the last four meetings.
2. Houston is 18-3 when scoring 115 or more points this season.
3. Duncan has recorded 38 double-doubles in 59 career regular-season games against the Rockets.

Fullcourt press: Sunday's NBA betting notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Atlanta Hawks at Milwaukee Bucks (-3, 203.5)
Atlanta fell at home to the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday and dropped two of three on its just-completed homestand. The lone win in that span came against the Bucks 98-90 on Wednesday. Milwaukee had its worst offensive performance of the season in a 120-78 loss at the Pacers on Friday and is hoping to return to the form that posted 108.5 points in its last two home games - both wins. The Bucks are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall.
Charlotte Bobcats at Miami Heat (-16.5, 199.5)
No lead - or opponent - has been too much to overcome for the Miami Heat, who will go for their 26th consecutive victory when they host the league-worst Charlotte Bobcats. LeBron James and the Heat erased a double-digit deficit for the third time in as many games in beating the Detroit Pistons 103-89 on Friday, moving them within eight victories of tying the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers for the longest winning streak in NBA history. Miami has also won 16 straight home games and own 10 consecutive victories over Charlotte, including a pair this season. The Bobcats are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 road games.
San Antonio Spurs at Houston Rockets (+1.5, 213.5)
The San Antonio Spurs attempt to complete a four-game sweep of Houston Sunday. San Antonio enters with a four-game winning streak and has averaged 123.3 points in winning the first three meetings with Houston. The Spurs have taken the last four meetings and are 6-0 ATS in their last six Sunday contests.
Portland Trail Blazers at Oklahoma City Thunder (-11.5, 205.5)
Oklahoma City has had a difficult time scoring over the last two games but turned to its defense to avoid a three-game slide on Friday. The Thunder have been held under 100 points in two straight games and needed a big fourth quarter from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook to pull out Friday’s 97-89 win at the lowly Magic. Oklahoma City has taken five straight and eight of the last 10 in the series. The favorite is 4-0-1 in the last five meetings.
Chicago Bulls at Minnesota Timberwolves (+1, 185.5)
The Chicago Bulls likely will play without star center Joakim Noah once again when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night. If they play the way they did Saturday night at home, it might not be an issue. Without Noah in the lineup due to plantar fasciitis, Chicago topped Indiana 87-84 to keep their slim Central Division crown hopes alive. The win pulled the Bulls within five games of the Pacers with 14 to play. Chicago is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.
Utah Jazz at Dallas Mavericks (-6, 200.5)
The visiting Jazz will look to halt a three-game losing streak when they visit Dallas on Sunday. Utah is sitting in ninth place in the Western Conference, 1 1/2 games behind the Los Angeles Lakers for the final playoff slot and one game in front of the Mavericks. Dallas had won four straight earlier in the month to move into playoff contention but has been unable to build on that momentum, failing to win two straight and going 3-3 in its last six games. The Mavs have lost three straight to the Jazz, including two in Utah this season, but have won the last four matchups at home. The over is 5-0 in the last five meetings in Dallas.
Brooklyn Nets at Phoenix Suns (+1.5, 188.5)
The Suns have lost six of seven games and suffered a humiliating 117-86 home loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday. Phoenix has lost by 30 or more points in two of their last six games. Brooklyn is 2-1 on an eight-game road excursion after falling 101-95 to the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday. The Nets routed the Suns 99-79 in Brooklyn on Jan. 11 for only their third win in the last 12 meetings. Brooklyn has played over the total in its last six games overall.
Philadelphia 76ers at Sacramento Kings (-2.5, 205)
Philadelphia has lost 15 straight on the road, last winning on New Year's Day. The road losing streak is its longest since a franchise-record 20-game skid in 1987-88. However, the Sixers have won eight of the last nine meetings (8-1 ATS), including an 89-80 victory in Philadelphia on Feb. 1.
