Tuesday rankings and plays...

I hope the new calendar will bring an end to all the half-point losses as I bet 2 games 2 nights ago and lost them both by half a point and I bet a 2H game last night and yes, believe it or not, lost it by half-a-point at the buzzer thanks to a meaningless layup...And December was chock full of half-point losses the entire month...I hope we can start getting as many 1/2-point wins in January as I got losses in December...

Here we go...

Sides:

1) Den, 2) Atl, 3) Sac, 4) Port, 5) Phi, 6) Dal

Totals:

1) Sac ov, 2) Den ov, 3) Dal un, 4) Port ov, 5) Atl un, 6) Phi ov

Plays:

Denver Nuggets -2, laying $100 to win $104 -- 17 straight wins for the Clips including hammering the Nuggets at Staples on Christmas night a week ago...When SA beat Denver by almost 30 at SA early in the year, the Nuggets paid them back at Denver a month later with a 6-point win, although the Nuggets were up double-digits almost the entire 2nd half...Simple revenge game here, and in this case, a short-turnaround-revenge game, the kind I like the most because the team with the revenge spot in a short-turnaround spot usually wins and covers especially when we are dealing with 2 good teams as bad teams may not cover in this spot because well, they are bad...Denver has been outstanding at Home thus far at 9-1 SU, and they basically just need to win this game to cover as the line is 1 at most shops (I sold a point to get positive juice)...

Sacramento Kings +6.5, laying $102 to win $100 -- Both of these teams are playing much better basketball recently, but I think the return of DeMarcus Cousins from team suspension makes this team better as a more focused Cousins means a better team for the Kings and even though SAC has a horrible record on the Road, they have been in many of these games and I think they can win this game outright...

Atlanta Hawks -2, laying $100 to win $100 -- Atlanta playing their 4th game in 5 nights, but they won their other game in this spot 10 days ago coming off a loss at Philly where they were hammered by 19 the night before and then they beat CHI by 17 the following night in a game that was their 4th game in 5 nights...ATL is 6-1 ATS in back-enders while NO is 0-2 ATS when they have rest and are catching a team on the back-end of a back-to-back...
