Prediction

Pacers 108, Spurs 101

Moneyline (ML)

After losing six of their final seven games entering into the All-Star Break, the PACERS (-134) are on a roll, winning three in a row and four of their last five games. San Antonio is just 2-2 in its post-All-Star Break contests, but won its last game, beating the Orlando Magic 114-113 at home Saturday. Indiana has played better against opponents from the opposite conference (13-8 record) than San Antonio (11-12), and the Pacers have beaten the Spurs in three of their previous four meetings. I LOVE PACERS (-134).

New to sports betting? A $134 wager on the Pacers -ML will fetch a profit of $100 if they win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The Pacers are -1.5 (-115), but let’s not fuss with the small point spread and stick with our moneyline bet. Even though we are PASSING on the spread, let’s look at some ATS trends to bolster our ML handicap. The Pacers are 11-7-1 ATS in away games against losing teams whereas the Spurs are 6-7 ATS at home against winning teams. When Indiana is a slight favorite (1- to 2.5-point favorite), it is 8-5 ATS compared to a Spurs team which is only 3-3 ATS when getting 1-2.5 points. Also, Indiana is 9-6-1 ATS, with a 5.1-point margin of victory, when it is a road favorite and the Spurs are 5-5 ATS when they are a home dog.

Over/Under (O/U)

It feels like every time these two meet they match the identity their head coaches are known for: Defense and a methodical tempo. But the Over cashed in their past two meetings because they were still at below-average projected totals of 208.5 and 210.5 The totals in those two games barely cleared the Over and I think BetMGM is over adjusting because of those results. For that reason, I slightly lean toward the UNDER 220.5 (-110). It’s only a lean though because their combined O/U record is 66-50-2 overall and 27-17 in non-conference games this season.

Magic at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full list. Odds last updated Saturday at noon ET.

Prediction

Spurs 116, Magic 111

Moneyline (ML)

The SPURS (-167) are the play here, as the Magic (+140) have a tough turnaround playing in Texas last than 24 hours after a 136-125 victory in O-Town against the Timberwolves. Orlando is 4-5 straight up in the past nine on the road, with two of those wins against lowly Charlotte. The Magic are also 0-6 SU in the past six in the second end of a back-to-back.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs ML returns a profit of just $5.99 if they win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

Take the SPURS (-3.5, -110) on their home floor, mainly due to the failures of the Magic (+3.5, -110) in back-to-back situations. Not only have they dropped six in a row SU in the second end of back-to-backs, they’re 0-5-1 ATS in those six outings.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 220.5 (-110) is the play in this one, as both sides have hit the over frequently. The over is a perfect 6-0 in Orlando’s past six, and 4-0-1 in their past five on the road. The Magic’s legs should be plenty tired, especially on the defensive end, after a high-scoring game at home and overnight travel. The under is 5-1 in San Antonio’s past six at home, but the over is 5-2-1 in their past eight overall, and 14-6 in the past 20 as a home favorite.

Bucks at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Bucks 126, Spurs 111

Moneyline (ML)

The Bucks (-334) will cost you over three times your investment, which is twice as much as I am comfortable laying. My limit is always -160 to -170 at the most. AVOID.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The BUCKS (-6.5, -121) are a tremendous bet on Monday night, assuming the visitors do not elect to rest Antetokounmpo, which is always possible. If he plays, this is a slam-dunk play, literally.

The Bucks are 5-1 ATS in the past six road games, and 13-5 ATS in the previous 18 games overall. They’re also 13-5 ATS in the past 18 games as a favorite, too, while going 5-1 ATS in the past six as a road favorite. The Spurs, on the other hand, are a dismal 7-20 ATS in the past 27 games at home, and 1-5 ATS in the past six tries at home against teams with a winning road mark.

Over/Under (O/U)

A few years ago an OVER 227.5 (-129) total would have been unheard of, but defense is dead in the NBA. It’s all offense, all the time. The Bucks are better at offense than anyone, too, averaging 119.6 points per game while also leading the NBA with a 48.3 field-goal percentage. Conversely, the Spurs are seventh in the NBA in points scored (113.2), and 25th in points allowed (115.1).

Thunder at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Spurs 111, Thunder 107

Moneyline (ML)

The SPURS (-129) enter with a slightly lesser record than the Thunder (+105), but they have dominated this series in recent seasons, especially against the number (see below). San Antonio dumped OKC Nov. 7 by a 121-112 score, led by PF LaMarcus Aldridge with 39 points.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Mavericks to win outright returns a profit of $7.75.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-1.5, -115) have covered six straight at home against the Thunder (+1.5, -106), while cashing in four of the past five overall, including that battle Nov. 7.

Over/Under (O/U)

The projected total of 218.5 (Over -106, Under -115) is way too close for my liking, and the trends vary for both sides lately. It’s all about the Under for the Thunder, and all Over all the time for the Spurs. AVOID.

Warriors at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 11:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Spurs 116, Warriors 109

Moneyline (ML)

The Spurs (-625) are expected to close out the decade with a ‘W’, but laying over six times your return is not good business.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs to win outright returns a profit of $1.60.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The WARRIORS (+9.5, +105) have started to show some signs of life lately, winning four of their past five games straight up. Golden State has improved significantly since a 127-110 loss in the most recent meeting in San Francisco Nov. 1. The Spurs (-9.5, -125) have managed to cover in just seven of their previous 25 games at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

OVER 214.5 (-128) is the play, although this won’t be a track meet. It will go Over in the final minutes of the fourth quarter. It’s been all Under for the Warriors lately, going 4-1 in the past five, and eight of the past 11 as a dog. The Over is 4-0 in San Antonio’s past four at home, however, and 16-5 in the past 21 as a favorite.

Pistons at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated 11:30 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Spurs 111, Pistons 104

Moneyline (ML)

The Spurs (-208) have struggled with consistency this season, and you cannot lay more than double your return on a team which isn’t even above .500.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Spurs to win outright returns a profit of $4.80.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-5.5, -106) are worth a small-unit bet, as the Pistons (+5.5, -115) are just too banged up right now. Plus, the Pistons are 1-5 ATS in the past six games overall, and 3-9-1 ATS in their past 13 games on the road. San Antonio is 4-1-1 ATS in the past six games overall, and 7-3 ATS in their past 10 against Detroit.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 220.5 (+105) is an intriguing play at plus-money. The Under is 6-2 in the past eight meetings in this series, and 4-0 in the past four meetings in San Antonio, too. The Under is also 7-1 in the past eight for the Pistons.

Clippers at Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 11:10 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Clippers 121, Spurs 109

Moneyline (ML)

The Clippers (-239) are just too expensive risking more than two times the return, and the Spurs (+190) cannot be trusted, even though they’re at home. Play the spread instead.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Clippers to win outright returns a profit of just $4.18. In other words, every $2.39 wagered on the Clippers ML would profit $1 if they win.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The CLIPPERS (-5.5, -115) have connected in four of the past five games on the road, and they’re 6-2 ATS in the past eight games as a favorite. In addition, they’re 22-10 ATS in the past 32 as a road favorite.

The Spurs (+5.5, -106) are 9-2 ATS in the past 11 as a home ‘dog, but they’re just 6-17 ATS in the past 23 overall at home. In addition, they have posted a dismal 8-18-1 ATS mark in the past 27 games, while going 1-7 ATS in the past eight following a cover and 4-17 ATS in the past 21 after a straight-up win.

Over/Under (O/U)

I’m not in love with the OVER 227.5 (-106) play, but it’s worth a small-unit wager. The over is 9-3 in L.A.’s past 12 as a road favorite and 5-2 in the past seven overall for San Antonio.

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 7:45 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Nets 108, Spurs 103

Moneyline (ML)

The NETS (+125) are underdogs, but they’re a great value on the road as they have a winning record against a struggling Spurs (-149) side which finds itself six games below .500.

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The NETS (+2.5, -106) look to keep the Spurs (-2.5, -115) down. San Antonio covered last time out, and it hasn’t covered in back-to-back games at any point this season. Brooklyn enters 7-2 ATS in the past nine games overall while going 8-2 ATS in the past 10 against teams with a losing straight-up record.

San Antonio heads in 5-17 ATS in the past 22 games at home, and 7-19 ATS in the past 26 at home as a favorite.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 218.5 (-106) is where it’s at, cashing in five of the past six games overall for the Nets and five of the past seven road outings.  For the Spurs, the Under is 11-5 in their past 16 games against teams with a winning overall mark.

Grizzlies-Spurs: Odds, lines, picks and betting tips

NBA odds courtesy of BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports for a full set of today’s betting odds. Odds last updated at 1:50 a.m. ET.

Prediction

Spurs 123, Grizzlies 105

Moneyline (ML)

PASS. The Spurs (-625) are too expensive on the moneyline, although they should handle their business in this one. They’ll be on a mission after getting thumped by 20 in their building by the Boston Celtics Saturday. San Antonio had been 4-1 SU at home until that implosion. Avoid the Grizzlies (+450), as they have won just twice in nine tries.

New to sports betting? Every $1 wagered that San Antonio wins profits $0.16 if the Spurs prevail. (Ex: Bet $10 to win $1.60, $20 to win $3.20, $62.50 to win $10).

Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The SPURS (-11.5, –106) are just 2-7 ATS overall this season, but they’re going to get well against a Grizzlies (+11.5, -115) side which is really struggling to find their identity.

Memphis has not only managed a 2-7 SU record, but they have covered in just two games this season, too, while going 0-2 SU/ATS on the road. Look for San Antonio to win and cover, getting on track as they head into the new week with authority.

Over/under (O/U)

The OVER 22.6.5 (-106) has connected in eight of the past nine games at home for the Spurs. Interestingly, the over is 12-3-1 in the past 16 games after San Antonio allows 125 or more points in their previous game. Conversely, the over is 7-1 in the past eight when Memphis is thumped by 10 or more points at home, so it’s the perfect storm for a high-scoring battle in Texas.
