Prediction: NBA / Sacramento Kings VS Chicago Bulls

-- Match Time?11/21/2014 11:30 Friday
Sacramento Kings VS Chicago Bulls
------------------------------------------------------
In the second game of a Thursday night NBA on TNT doubleheader, the Chicago Bulls will travel to Sleep Train Arena to take on the Sacramento Kings.
Chicago has all the pieces to be an NBA Championship contender and they have started the season playing like one. The Bulls are currently in first place in the Central Division, two games ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers. On Monday, Chicago put on a clinic in a 105-89 road victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Playing without, Derrick Rose, the Bulls used a 31-14 third quarter advantage to pull away. Jimmy Butler scored 22 points to lead six Bulls in double figures.
Through 11 games, Chicago ranks 12th in scoring offense and 11th in scoring defense.
--
The Sacramento Kings are off to a nice start, but could easily have the same record as Chicago if not for some huge blown leads. Sacramento is currently tied for third place in the Pacific Division, 2.5 games behind the first place Golden State Warriors. The Kings are led by 5th year pro DeMarcus Cousins, who is averaging 22.5 points and 11.6 rebounds. On Tuesday, Cousins and the Kings lost 106-100 at home against the New Orleans Pelicans. Sacramento posted a 52-32 advantage in rebounds, but turned the ball over 15 times. Cousins scored 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds in the loss.
Sacramento currently ranks 11th in scoring offense and 21st in scoring defense.

Recent Betting Trends:
Bulls are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
Under is 12-3 in Kings last 15 games following a ATS loss.
Bulls are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.
Under is 8-1 in Bulls last 9 games playing on two days rest.
Kings are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU loss.

Bonus Betting Pick: Sacramento Kings -1.5
With Derrick Rose and Pau Gasol both questionable with injuries for the Bulls, it would be wise to check their status before tipoff. The Kings are improved and have done well recently in the series. I am going to recommend leaning with the home team in this one. Final Score Prediction, Sacramento Kings win and cover ATS 95-90.

Memphis Grizzlies VS Boston Celtics Livescore | Match Preview | Head to Head Statistics

-------------------------------------------------
The Memphis Grizzlies hope to get some reinforcements back Friday as they look to continue their party when the Boston Celtics roll into town. The Grizzlies are off to an NBA-best 10-2 start and have a league-best 47-17 record during the calendar year, and their 20 straight wins at home is a franchise record. However, on Wednesday, without five key players due to illness, Memphis had its overall four-game win streak snapped in a 96-92 lost at Eastern Conference-leader Toronto.

Memphis' run on home wins has surpassed the franchise's previous mark of 15 set March 18 – Nov. 6, 2012 and is the longest such streak in the NBA since Denver won 23 straight from Jan. 20 – April 7, 2013. The Celtics snapped a three-game losing streak in Wednesday's 101-90 victory at winless Philadelphia behind a season-high 23 points by Brandon Bass and 22 and nine rebounds from Jared Sullinger. Those two, however, and the rest of the Celtics' bigs, will have their hands full with the Grizzlies 1-2 inside punch of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol.

ABOUT THE CELTICS (4-6): Boston has lost four straight in Memphis, but NBA assists leader Rajon Rondo has played in just one of those contests. Third-year forward Sullinger continues his maturation process, joining Atlanta's Paul Millsap as the only players in the league averaging 16 points, eight rebounds and three assists. The Celtics lead the league in 2-point shooting percentage (55.0) but rank 28th in points allowed (107.5).
ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (10-2): Memphis was without starters Courtney Lee and Tony Allen and reserves Beno Udrih, Kosta Koufos and Jon Leuer on Wednesday due to a stomach virus that landed them into the hospital. Randolph and Gasol, the highest-scoring big-man tandem in the NBA (34.6 points, 19.6 rebounds per game) combined for 40 points and 30 rebounds against the Raptors. "It was a challenge (playing with a short roster)," Randolph said. "We still played good. That's why this hurts so bad. We feel we should have won." Conley is averaging 16 points and nine assists with five total turnovers in the last four games against Boston.

BUZZER BEATERS
1. Randolph has 100 double-doubles since the start of 2012-13 season, second in the NBA to Dwight Howard's 102.
2. The Grizzlies' last home loss came Feb. 5 versus Dallas.
3. Rondo is averaging 11.8 assists and eight rebounds - second most of any guard in the NBA - but his four turnovers per game is a career high and leads all NBA starting point guards.

Prediction: Grizzlies 99, Celtics 81

NBA -- Match Time?11/22/2014 08:30 Saturday
Atlanta Hawks VS Detroit Pistons Livescore | Match Preview | Head to Head Statistics
------------------------------------------------------
The Pistons travel to Atlanta to face a Hawks team hanging out at .500. The Pistons have been very, very disappointing so far, sitting at 3-9, good for the 3rd worst record in the East. The Hawks and Pistons both have a negative point differential, with the Hawks struggling on defense and the Pistons struggling on offense, so this could be an interesting game. Both teams are on multi-game losing streaks, and Atlanta has played extremely better at home at 4-1 with Detroit 1-5 on the road. All signs point to a Hawk victory.
--
The Hawks front line of Millsap and Horford have provided a lot of their offense so far, including 32 points and 15 rebounds per game, while Jeff Teague and Kyle Korver are pouring in 29 points and 10 assists combined. The Pistons' Brandon Jennings is having a strong season at 16/6/3/1.33 while the Pistons' front line of Drummond, Smith, and Monroe have struggled a bit out of the gate, especially Drummond and Smith, who have not lived up to their contracts or any of their other previous accolades.
--
Recent Betting Trends:
Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall.
Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss.
Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games.
Over is 6-2 in Pistons last 8 vs. NBA Southeast.
Over is 6-1 in Hawks last 7 vs. Eastern Conference.

Bonus Betting Pick: Detroit Pistons +6.5
The slow start for Pistons has turned around to at least being competitive. That is exactly what we see tonight, Pistons fight Hawks right to the wire. Detroit size matches up well with strength of Atlanta's size. Final Score Prediction, Atlanta Hawks win but fail to cover ATS 95-90.
