Houston @ Denver 9:05 PM ET Game# 519-520 Play On: Under 221.5 (5*) Denver has gone under in 9 of 12 this season which includes 5 of 6 at home. The Nuggets have held 6 of their 9 opponents to 98 points or fewer, and 5 of those teams shot worse than 40%. After going through a rough 3-game defensive stretch earlier this season, Houston has shown a marked improvement in that area since. As a matter of fact, through their previous 5 games that Rockets have allowed just 104.8 points per contest and amassed an excellent 3-point defensive field goal percentage of 29.7. Houston is coming off a 132-108 win over Portland. Conversely, Denver is coming off a 131-114 win against Memphis. Any NBA team (Denver) with a total of 220.0 or greater that’s coming off a win by 15 points or more, and they’re facing an opponent who won their previous game by 20 points or greater, resulted in those games going 42-11 (79.2%) under the total since 1996. That also includes 35-7 (83.3) under during the past 3 seasons. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 5* wager. |

Utah @ Minnesota 8:05 PM ET Game# 517-518 Play On: Minnesota +3.0 (5*) These division rivals just met at Utah on Monday night and Minnesota won 112-102 as a sizable 9.0-point underdog. That marked the 2nd time in 2 games that Utah suffered a straight up favorite loss. The game before they lost as a 8.0-point favorite. The Jazz shot a combined 38.3% during those pair of defeats. Any NBA home team (Minnesota) that’s coming off a division road win, and they’re facing an opponent (Utah) coming off a home loss, resulted in those home teams going 57-16 (78.1%) straight up during the past 5 seasons. Since this NBA straight up betting angle sides with the underdog it takes on added significance. Bet on Minnesota plus the points for a 5* wager. |

San Antonio @ Washington 7:05 PM ET Game# 503-504 Play On: Washington +2.5 (5*) Since starting 4-1, San Antonio has proceeded to go 1-8 SU&ATS in its last 9 and 0-6 SU&ATS during their previous 6 games. San Antonio has earned a reputation as a strong defensive team under current head coach Greg Popovich’s long tenure. However, they’ve been anything but that through their first 14 games of the season while allowing 103 points or more on each occasion. They’ll be facing a Washington team that’s covered their last 3 contests while averaging 130.3 points scored per game and shooting a red-hot 51.2%. Bet on Washington plus the points for a 5* wager. |

Ross Benjamin has made his reputation in the sports handicapping industry by being one of the sharpest prognosticators over the last 15 years. In professional sports handicapper Ron Raymond’s 2008 published book “50 Greatest Sports Betting Secrets” he probably says it best. “One of the most underrated handicappers in our industry and probably one of the sharpest ones I know is Ross Benjamin.” One of Ross’ often used phrases when speaking publicly, “if you want to be a successful sports handicapper then start by thinking like a bookmaker”. Ross is 61 years old and has been directly involved in many capacities of the sports gaming industry for the last 31 years. However there is nothing he enjoys more than the challenge of picking winners in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA Football, and NCAA Basketball.
