Detroit Pistons +8.5 (-115) (BetMGM)

For my best free pick here for Monday I am looking at the Detroit Pistons at the Houston Rockets. I have been betting and winning big with the Pistons all season long and this is where I love to get them as a dog and not expected to win. Rockets always tough at home but this is a lot of points to give a hungry scrappy Detroit Pistons team that should be able to keep this within a possession. Pistons have lost 2 straight games and come into this one desperate for the win column. Rockets two huge game with the Cavs on deck next. Play on the Detroit Pistons plus the points ***DO NOT MISS MY COLLEGE FOOTBALL NATIONAL TITLE PICK I AM ON A 11-5 69% BOWL RUN AND 80-59 58% ON THE SEASON IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL***NBA - Point Spread - Mon, Jan 20 @ 03:10 PM
Atlanta Hawks vs New York Knicks
Atlanta Hawks +6.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
ASA play on Atlanta Hawks +6.5 at NY Knicks – 3 PM ET - Note this is a day game. We are not expecting a true home court advantage for the Knicks here in this afternoon’s game at the Garden. New York has two major injury concerns with both Josh Hart and Karl-Athony Towns both listed as day-to-day....
ASA play on Atlanta Hawks +6.5 at NY Knicks – 3 PM ET - Note this is a day game. We are not expecting a true home court advantage for the Knicks here in this afternoon’s game at the Garden. New York has two major injury concerns with both Josh Hart and Karl-Athony Towns both listed as day-to-day. Atlanta has gone through some injury issues but are back to full health with the return of Jalen Johnson. The Hawks are playing well right now with a 4-1 SU record and three straight wins, including a ‘W’ in Boston. If we look at the last five games of every NBA team, the Hawks have the 11th best Net Rating of +4.1 in that span of games. In comparison, the Knicks are minus -1.7 in that same stretch of games. NY is dangerous coming off a loss with a 12-3 SU record this season but the points with Atlanta are just too generous to overlook. The Knicks have lost 3 of their last four at home, while Atlanta has won 3 of their last four on the road. The Hawks match up very well against New York and have won 3 straight in the series, two of which came this season, one of which was in NY. Atlanta is worth a light play on Monday, especially if KAT doesn’t suit-up for the Knicks.NBA - Point Spread - Mon, Jan 20 @ 05:10 PM
Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors
Golden State Warriors +10.5 (-110) (Consensus Line)
We like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics on Monday at 5:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: Boston has been playing its worst basketball of the season ever since the calendar switched from 2024 to 2025. The Celtics...
We like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics on Monday at 5:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones: Boston has been playing its worst basketball of the season ever since the calendar switched from 2024 to 2025. The Celtics are now 3-4 over their L7 games played this year. They are also 1-7 versus the spread (2-6 overall) over their L8 games played against Golden State. The Warriors might be without Steph Curry tonight but that shouldn't worry them all too much. They've been playing great in back-to-back games now and should be able to keep this one close with or without him. They are 11-5 against the spread over their L16 games played against opponents from the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference. Grab the points.

Utah Jazz +11.5 (-115) (BetMGM)
My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers.

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Monday is with the Utah Jazz plus the points versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Utah (10-30) has lost five of their last six games after a 136-123 loss at New Orleans against this Pelicans team as an 11-point underdog on Friday. The Jazz have covered the point spread in 9 of their last 14 games after a loss on the road. They have also covered the point spread in 15 of their last 23 games as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. New Orleans (11-32) has won three games in a row after their win against Utah — but they have failed to cover the point spread in 12 of their last 19 games with the Total set in the 220s. They have also failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games against teams winning 25-40% of their games. Take Utah plus the points versus New Orleans. Best of luck — Frank. ** Frank Sawyer is on a 9 of 11 (82%) Football Game of the Year/Month run which includes CA$HING his 25* CFB Total of the Year with the Texas-Ohio State Under on January 10th!

Utah Jazz vs New Orleans Pelicans
Utah Jazz +11.5 (-110) (BetMGM)
Monday NBA Free play. My selection is on Utah plus the points over New Orleans at 8:10 pm ET on Monday. We'll grab all the points we can with the revenge-minded Jazz as they return to New Orleans. Utah dropped a 136-123 decision here on Friday, marking their second consecutive defeat and fifth l...
Monday NBA Free play. My selection is on Utah plus the points over New Orleans at 8:10 pm ET on Monday. We'll grab all the points we can with the revenge-minded Jazz as they return to New Orleans. Utah dropped a 136-123 decision here on Friday, marking their second consecutive defeat and fifth loss in their last six games. Despite the rough patch, this matchup offers the Jazz an opportunity to bounce back against a Pelicans team that has been overachieving of late. New Orleans enters this game on a three-game SU win streak and has covered the spread in five straight contests. However, the Pelicans remain a woeful 11-32 SU on the season, which highlights the unsustainable nature of their recent surge. Utah is likely to adjust and bring a more competitive effort this time around, keeping this game close and possibly pulling off the upset. Take Utah. Projected score: New Orleans 118, Utah 116.Get Free Picks, Big Game alerts, and Winning Info from our champion handicappers.
