Bruce Marshall

Miami vs. Minnesota
Pick: Minnesota

Potential flat spot for Miami? Maybe so, considering Sunday’s revenge-fueled encounter vs. Knicks and fact that Heat, despite a 14-game SU win streak, have been prone to letdowns in the last eight days, as evidenced by narrow escapes and non-covers vs. sub-.500 Cavs and Kings. If Miami doesn’t bring its “A” game, can Minnesota capitalize? Maybe so, as T-wolves were at least within sight of Heat at AA Arena on Dec. 16, despite getting little help from then-healthy F Kevin Love (who scored only 11). Love is still sidelined, of course, but Rick Adelman at least has regained services of 6-9 Andrei Kirilenko, who scored 22 in first meeting, and remember that T-wolves had yet to welcome back G Ricky Rubio from his knee injury rehab when teams met before Christmas. And Miami no automatic play as DD chalk this season (7-11 vs. number).

David Banks

Miami / Minnesota Over 196

The Miami Heat (43-14, 30-27 ATS) overcame a 16-point deficit to beat the Knicks Sunday and make it 14 wins in a row, and they look to make it 15 vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves (20-36, 34-25 ATS) at the Target Center in Minnesota Monday at 9:05 ET on NBA TV. LeBron James filled out the stat sheet as usual vs. the Knicks with 29 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and one blocked shot, helping Miami avenge two earlier losses to New York. Minnesota is coming off of a 109-94 loss at Portland on Saturday, and this team has simply been undermanned since Kevin Love re-fractured his hand back on January 3rd. The shaky Minnesota defense makes the Timberwolves unlikely candidates to slow down the Miami Express.

The Miami 14-game winning steak began when James began his historic streak where he became the first player in NBA history to score at least 30 points and shoot at least 60 percent from the field in six straight games, and over the entire 14-game streak, James is averaging 28.9 points, 7.9 rebounds and 8.3 assists. James is now shooting an impressive 56.3 percent over the entire season, helping propel the Heat to a league leading 49.6 percent shooting percentage as a team overall. Miami also ranks second the three-point shooting at 39.3 percent and the end result has been a fifth best 103.7 points per game. Now the Heat have not cared much about the regular season since James arrived two seasons ago, as they are in fact only 101-103-1 ATS since then during the regular year. They have successfully flipped the switch when it mattered most once the playoffs began in both seasons, but this is now the best regular season stretch for Miami since LeBron came to South Beach, and the Heat now find themselves tied in the loss column with the team with the best record in the NBA in the 46-14 San Antonio Spurs, pending the Spurs' result Sunday night.

The Timberwolves have had trouble competing without Love, going 5-21 straight up since he went down, and things have gotten worse as of late with Minnesota winning only twice in the last 11 games, and those two wins coming vs. a Philadelphia team that cannot score and a Cleveland team that cannot play defense. The Timberwolves have shown nothing to indicate that they can hang with a team of Miami's caliber, especially on the defensive end. For the entire season, Minnesota is ranked 16th in points against at 97.9 per game, 23rd in field goal percentage allowed and 20th in three-point defense. The defense has gotten considerably worse in the 26 games since Love went down though, allowing 100.4 points per game in that time, and it is allowing a disgusting 107.2 points per game on a bloated 49.1 percent shooting over the last five contests. All the Wolves have to do now is contain the best shooting team in the league with the hottest player on the planet.

The Timberwolves are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight games vs. teams with a winning percentage above .600, and Minnesota is 7-16-2 ATS in its last 25 games overall. The Heat are on an 8-3 ATS run overall and Miami is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 games vs. the Northwest Division.

Jeff Benton

Tonight's freebie is the Denver Nuggets minus the points over the Atlanta Hawks.

On the surface this appears to be a big number to give to a team that is 8 games over .500, but remember that Atlanta is playing the last of 6 in a row on the road, and it also happens to be the third road game in 4 nights for the Hawks who did lose by a point yesterday at the Lakers.

Denver has been idle since their Friday win at home over mighty Oklahoma City, as the Nuggets have now won their last 4 games while going 3-0-1 against the spread in those 4 wins.

The Nuggets have made the Pepsi Center their fortress this season, going 25-3 straight up and they have also gone a money-making 19-9 against the spread in those home games this year.

Atlanta did win the first meeting this year at home against Denver, but the Nuggets had won and covered in the previous 4 series meetings prior to their December setback at the Philips Arena.

Going to lay it with the Nuggets to pull away from a road-weary Hawks team tonight.

Jim Feist

Charlotte at Portland
Pick: Under

The Charlotte Hornets are in the unenviable position of playing back-to-back days. Charlotte was humiliated at Sacramento on Sunday and now has to play an even tougher Blazers club on Monday. Sunday's contest was the second in a row with no offense out of the Cats, having scored 68 points on Friday and just 83 on Sunday. The Cats have now gone UNDER in nine of their last 11 contests, mainly because they can't score. The Blazers surely aren't one of the better defensive teams in the NBA, allowing over 100 points quite regularly. However, they can play defense against tired, weak opponents. And, that's just what we get here on Monday. Six of the last nine meetings between these clubs have gone UNDER. Moreover, in four of their last six in this spot they have gone UNDER. Don't expect the Blazers to waste a lot of energy here on Monday as this one should be pretty easy.

Marc Lawrence

New York vs. Cleveland
Pick: Cleveland

The young Cavs host the Knicks at Quicken Loans Arena on the North coast Monday night with revenge on Cleveland's mind from a 103-102 loss suffered in New York on December 15. From our history book we learn the Cavaliers are 13-4 SU and 11-6 ATS in this series, including 6-2 ATS in this floor. With Cleveland off a 16-point home loss and the Knicks off a mighty meeting with Miami yesterday, we're on Uncle Drew's crew here tonight. We recommend a 1-unit play on Cleveland.
