Kevin Dolan Event: (224229) Real Madrid at (224230) Atalanta
Sport/League: SOC
Date/Time: February 24, 2021 3PM EST
Play: Total Over 2.75 (-126)
Take the Over 2.75 goals on Wednesday between Real Madrid and Atalanta.
Breakdown
Atalanta have been in red hot form entering Wednesday's game, losing just once in 2021, and registering the league's best xg numbers over that stretch too at 2.26 xg per game on average in 2021.
The departure of Papu Gomez last month seems to have done little to slow down this hi-octane offense under Gasperini as Atalanta come off yet another shootout win over Napoli at the weekend.
And the Italians will fancy their chances to cause damage here on Wednesday too. Madrid have a host of injury's entering Wednesday's game but most notably in defense, where they're missing Marcelo, Carvajal, Militao and long-time talisman Sergio Ramos in defense.
Atalanta will likely go for the jugular in this one and look to take care of a wounded Madrid side in leg one, but in playmakers Modric, Kroos and Junior, Madrid have the capability to get on the scoresheet themselves and we see this one going Over the total on Wednesday in what should be a highly exciting game between two suspect defenses.
Take the Over 2.75 goals in Wednesday's Champions League matchup between Real Madrid and Atalanta.
PLAY: OVER 2.75

My college hoops totals system is a combination of relevant statistical data from KenPom.com, history involving similar games (researched through the SDQL database), and current market data. A play is made when enough of these factors align. The size of the play is determined by a combination of how many of these factors align, how much value is perceived, and how confident I am about the play.

With Dayton standing at 12-7 on the season and looking to play themselves into a March Madness bid in a few weeks, it is best Anthony Grant's team does not have a slip up against the 2-14 Hawks of St. Joseph's.

The Hawks notched a satisfying City Series win at home over La Salle in overtime their last time out, but wins have been very scarce this season for this A-10 doormat.

Dayton ended a 2-game losing streak by pounding a pretty solid St. Louis team by 23 points their last time out and I expect they will be able to pound the Hwwks here on the Main Line tonight.

The Flyers have won the last pair of series meetings over the Hawks and are on a 3-1 straight up series run with the past 2 victories both coming by double-digits.

Dayton is allowing just over 66 points per game, while St. Joe's is surrendering a whopping 83.1 points per contest.

This one should be decided fairly early me thinks!

Lay it with Dayton.

5* DAYTON

For Wednesday, going to play the Celtics and the Hawk to land Over the total at State Farm Arena.

Both teams were on court just last night and both teams played Under the total just last night - Celtics and Mavericks holding low by 5 1/2 points, Hawks-Cavaliers holding low by 5 points as well - but this will be the third meeting between the teams since last week and last week's tilts up in Boston BOTH landed Over the total.

Last Wednesday and Friday night these teams played Overs to push the series Over mark to 5-3 the last 8 times the teams have faced one another and I feel they will land in the Over column again tonight.

Boston is still on a 3-1 Over run for their last 4 games played, while Atlanta has tipped Over the total in 8 of their last 9 games played.

With both teams likely a little tired from last night's action, I do not expect much contested defense in tonight's game.

C's-Hawks Over we go!

#1 GATTO MARRONE (ML=7/2)


GATTO MARRONE - Have to give this horse a chance. Ran a strong race in the last race within the last month. You have to like that latest race speed rating, 63, which is the top last race speed rating of this group.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 MIKE IS READY (ML=2/1), #4 COMMISSARIO (ML=4/1), #5 DANCINGINTODARK (ML=9/2),

MIKE IS READY - This horse hasn't been hitting the board in either of his last two outings. COMMISSARIO - Hard to put your dough on the win end of any animal that finishes second and third as regularly as this participant does. This gelding garnered a speed rating in his last affair which probably isn't good enough in today's event. DANCINGINTODARK - This colt finished outside the top 3 on Jan 29th and wasn't close to winning last time out either.

Go with #1 GATTO MARRONE on top if we're getting at least 1/1 odds

# 3 HELMS DEEP 2/1




# 7 BI BI CARPE 3/1




# 2 IRON CLASH 4/1




HELMS DEEP is my choice. Make a note that this horse runs with second time Lasix today. Reason to like this colt as he has in the saddle one of the best jocks using winning percentages over the last 30 days. Have to examine solely on class, with some of the best class figures of this group. BI BI CARPE - Has been running very well lately and ought to be on or close to the lead early on. Hernandez has a win percent of 15 over the last 30 days. IRON CLASH - Looks decent to be on the lead at the first call.

#4 HELIOCHROME (ML=7/1)
#9 KOBLA MAS (ML=9/5)


HELIOCHROME - Average Equibase class figure is tops in this field. I think that is a big advantage for a race on the turf. You always have to be on the patrol for revenue generating rider/trainer combinations; we have an instance right here. This horse collects a lot of cash per race. At the top in this race. KOBLA MAS - I sense a speed battle developing here. If that happens, this colt will be in perfect position to gather up the leaders.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 DYNA STRIKE (ML=9/2), #7 DECLARATIONOFSPEED (ML=6/1), #3 GUMBO (ML=8/1),

DYNA STRIKE - Registered a somewhat easily forgotten speed fig last time out in a Maiden Special race on Jan 31st. Improbable to see an improved performance off of that number. DECLARATIONOFSPEED - Just can't bet on this pony. Didn't show me anything in the last race or on December 4th. GUMBO - Don't believe this pony has what it takes to be victorious this time around.

https://www.trackmaster.com/images/tophat.jpgGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - HELIOCHROME - Lasix can cure a good many ills. This horse is getting it for the first time today.

# 1 SPEED SYNDROME 8/1




# 7 EARTHQUAKE 3/1




# 8 GRAND OASIS 7/2




My selection in this competition is SPEED SYNDROME especially at 8/1. I like the jockey on this gelding - decent chance to win the contest. Is difficult not to look at based on speed figures which have been solid - 75 avg - of late. Gamblers ought to feel comfortable with this selection given Castillo's recent dividends at the window. EARTHQUAKE - The handler wheels this entrant right back to race again. Overall the Equibase Speed Figures of this horse look respectable in this contest. GRAND OASIS - Well above average win rate at this distance/surface.

Picks for Tampa Bay's Wednesday Stakes

February 23, 2021 | By Jeremy Plonk

Tampa Bay Downs has a rescheduled stakes double-offering Wednesday with a pair of turf sprints sharing the weekday marquee. Let’s dig into the artificial intelligence of the app for a deeper dive into the main events, providing data-driven insight on an exciting day of racing at a track you may not always frequent.

Selections provided by the app measure each contender against the 10 leading factors for each race. The app looks at 52 handicapping factors and more than 200,000 past races to determine its AI selections. You can use the automated handicapping factors, or create your own factor filters to incorporate angles you prefer. We’ve included the official track morning line odds with the selections.

//

Tampa Bay Downs // Race 7 // 3:21 pm ET // Turf Dash Stakes // 5 furlongs (turf)

#5 The Critical Way (4-1 ML) // 31%W // 41%P // 50%S
#2 Imprimis (8-5 ML) // 13%W // 29%P // 40%S
#4 My Boy Lenny (15-1 ML) // 11%W // 21%P // 33%S ** main track only **
#9 Turned Aside (3-1 ML) // 9%W // 18%P // 33%S
#1 Oceanic (20-1 ML) // 7%W // 18%P // 24%S
#6 The Connector (8-1 ML) // 7%W // 16%P // 25%S
#11 Jazzy Times (15-1 ML) // 6%W // 15%P // 30%S
#3 Quarky (12-1 ML) // 5%W // 15%P // 19%S
#10 Fox Run (15-1 ML) // 5%W // 12%P // 22%S
#7 Arcadia Calls (20-1 ML) // 3%W // 8%P // 12%S
#8 Tench (20-1 ML) // 3%W // 8%P // 12%S

Notes: Imprimis and The Critical Way re-match from their Jan. 1 Janus Stakes first-third finish at Gulfstream Park, separated by only a neck in a 3-way photo finish. The Critical Way has the early speed and has won over the track already, while Imprimis is the classy finisher making his first start on Tampa’s lawn. Turned Aside is a multiple stakes-winning turf sprinter by American Pharoah, changing trainers from Linda Rice to Mark Casse for the first time. According to the Betmix database, Casse has more Tampa Bay Downs stakes wins since 2013 than any other trainer (14 total, 22% strike rate).

Tampa Bay Downs // Race 9 // 4:21 pm ET // Lightning City Stakes // 5 furlongs (turf)

#4 The Goddess Lyssa (3-1 ML) // 29%W // 38%P // 46%S
#10 Lenzi’s Lucky Lady (10-1 ML) // 12%W // 26%P // 36%S

#13 Roman d’Oro (6-1 ML) // 3%W // 7%P // 10%S ** also-eligible **

Notes: Morning line favorite The Goddess Lyssa scores 17 points higher than the next-closest competitor, but will be racing on turf for the first time. She’s won 5 of 7 on dirt, including the Minaret Stakes. Speedy Lenzi’s Lucky Lady has made the lead at some point in 7 of her 8 career starts and offers value on the ML. Payntdembluesaway aims for 7 straight wins while rising in class. Royal Collection has won 3 of her last 4 against easier competition, takes on stakes runners for the first time, and is dismissed by thealgorithm despite 5-1 in the morning line.

-- Leading trainer Jonathan Wong went 8: 3-0-1 and is now 9-for-24 over the past 2 weeks – but that has resulted in a 20% flat-bet loss as all 9 winners were 2-1 or less.

-- Trainer Jeff Bonde posted a 3: 2-0-1 week, but with 1-1 and 6-5 short prices.

-- Trainer Steve Specht won with both starters, also short prices at 4-5 and 7-5. The barn has gone 5-15 (33%) in February (8: 3-3-0 teamed with Frank Alvarado).

-- Jockey Catalino Martinez topped the riders at 12: 4-2-4 with all winners at 5-2 or less, but he did have a 15-1 runner-up along the way. He was 3-for-3 aboard favorites.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Delta Downs - Race #1
Picks Notes
#6 Cheveyo He has been pretty flat in those last two, but he showed just a small bit of forward ability in the career best three-back run, and there is zero other speed signed on today. Go for it from the break at a price?
#8 Oops Wediditagain He looks like the one to beat off the useful debut run when finishing up nicely, and he's probably quick enough to sit a spying trip today in this paceless bunch.
#3 My Call He's a bit one-paced, but there isn't a whole lot in here, so that may play well enough to land him a piece underneath.
Race Summary Cheveyo might be fast enough to find the top in a race that should be pretty soft near the front end, and he might be the right one to beat the likely chalk, Oops Wediditagain

Delta Downs - Race #2
Picks Notes
#4 Tiz Showbiz Barn can get them home on the hike, and it's at least a little bit interesting that this guy steps up for this after two losses in claiming company when they could have easily risked him with cheaper after paying just $5k for him. I'm intrigued.
#1 Glory Road Most likely winner in here has some pretty nice names in the company lines throughout his career, and this spot will be much softer than what he was facing at Fair Grounds in recent starts.
#2 High Cruise Speed steps up, but that was a really nice effort when losing the blinkers last time out, and something similar puts him in the frame.
Race Summary Tiz Showbiz would have been more logical in any number of claiming spots, so the hike is maybe worth noting, and if he can step forward off that last one, he's not far off top honors here.

Delta Downs - Race #8
Picks Notes
#6 Purim King He didn't miss by much at this level a couple starts back, and he has just a little bit of versatility that should keep him in touch.
#7 Venn I guess he should be able to handle these on the move from FG, but the price will probably be on the short side, and it doesn't feel like he has to win this.
#1/1A White Entry Both halves of the entry bring spotty form, but they're both capable of running lines that would be fairly competitive here. Still, the 3/1 ML would not be too appealing to me.
Race Summary Purim King was a neck short with similar a couple starts back, and at anything approaching the 6/1 ML price, he'd be interesting enough with the capable Venn likely to be an underlay.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Rosecroft - Race #2
Picks Notes
#9 B A ROCKET Good fit with these, knows how to win, post 9 the drawback.
#2 DR NIPNTUCK Bid first-over alongside the favorites but faded.
#7 ADMIRAL Yet to recapture 2020 form, takes needed class drop.
Race Summary B A Rocket, no factor in 1:51.4 last week, paced evenly but posted an improved speed figure off the claim two starts back. Early position will be vital as he seeks his 17th win and nears $100,000 in earnings.

Northfield Park - Race #5
Picks Notes
#8 AMORA BEACH Free too late, finished third on short rest, gets Wrenn.
#5 DENSLOW HANOVER Earned top speed figure when second at this level three starts ago.
#1 ARCHETTO HANOVER Can make good use of his speed in repeat attempt.
Race Summary Amora Beach took late money on two day's rest, was trapped in third for 3/4s of a mile and finished a willing third. Play a 1-5-8 exacta box.

Northfield Park - Race #11
Picks Notes
#1 E L WILD SPIRIT Speed from rail, back on Lasix, price attached.
#2 MAGIC SHARK Drops, moves outside in, last win was with Merriman.
#3 RHP Solid numbers but yet to finish in the money in six starts this year.
Race Summary E L Wild Spirit gave way chasing the 5-2 winner last out, but he could be a forward factor from the rail at a big price for his new connections. Play a 1-2- exacta box.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #7
Picks Notes
#4 Sunshine City Came up a half-length shy on the turf last time but her only dirt try effort produced a good third against tougher company at Churchill. Adds blinkers and could be in the mix earlier.
#3 Include the Beast Was an easy winner in his first two and then tasted defeat last time when he lacked a losing move; drops in class and will be a strong player.
#7 Battle Cry Was too late in his bid last time out and can be closer to the early action going this distance; capable of reaching the gimmicks.
Race Summary Sunshine City had a decent dirt effort last year and has what it takes late in the game.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#8 High Noon Rider Claiming Crown winner three races back has been in much stronger races than this and comes off a closing third in a fast starter allowance; old-time keeps running well and should be the one to watch late.
#6 Tizzarunner Was a consistent closer in good races at Churchill and was a winner the last time he ran over this course; once race a mile in 1:32 1-5 here.
#3 Pioneer Man Tried stakes races last year and came up with a couple of wins at Woodbine; can be a contender in his first since October.
Race Summary High Noon Rider has had some of his best efforts over this course and can get a good pace setup.

Gulfstream Park - Race #10
Picks Notes
#1 Fulmini Carlos David claimed him the first time he was eligible and turns back to five furlongs; can make a solid run for his new barn.
#8 Thinkaboutit Ran on for second at this level last time out and ran well in three of four starts; chance for a major slice.
#7 Nitro Time Has excellent early speed and goes for his fourth straight win; could get some company out front today.
Race Summary Fulmini can track a fast pace and has the late kick to be effective in this very good sprint.

Wednesday NHL Free play. My selection is on Toronto over Calgary at 7:05 pm et on Wednesday.
The Leafs have become accustomed to rebounding off a loss in this unique 2021 NHL season. They check in 4-1 off a loss this season and should bounce back here as well. Note that Toronto owns a staggering 11-2 record when coming off a loss where it scored one goal or less over the last two seasons, outscoring the opposition by an average margin of 1.1 goals. For their part, the Flames are 5-12 on the moneyline when coming off a win by three goals or more, as is the case here, over the last three seasons. The Flames have a bit of adversity to deal with as standout goaltender Jakob Markstrom is dealing with an upper body injury and listed as day-to-day. Take Toronto (8*).

1* NBA - Celtics/Hawks *FREE PICK* on Celtics -1.5
Today's free pick is on the Boston Celtics -1.5 on the road against the Atlanta Hawks. Great price with Boston in this one. Celtics have lost their last 2 and are just 7-13 in their last 20, but we know the talent is there and so many of those losses could have gone the other way. That includes each of their last two. They blew a huge lead in a 115-120 loss at New Orleans on Sunday and then fell 107-110 at Dallas last night. Key here is the Hawks have been playing just as bad of late and I just don't trust this team at all. Atlanta is just decimated with injuries right now. They were already without De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Kris Dunn, now John Collins and Cam Reddish are questionable for this one. Bet the Celtics -1.5!

The visiting Golden State Warriors are in a very different spot as they'll be playing on no rest following a 114-106 win at New York on Tuesday. Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 games playing on 0 days rest. Warriors are 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Indiana.

The Boston Celtics are almost fully healthy right now as they are really only missing Marcus Smart. The Atlanta Hawks have all kinds of injuries with Bogdanovic and Hunter out, plus Collins and Reddish questionable tonight. Don't be surprised if those two questionable guys sit out tonight after the Hawks lost 111-112 in Cleveland last night and will be playing the second of a back-to-back. It will also be the 8th game in 13 days for this tired Hawks team. The Celtics have thrived in this situation in going 8-0 ATS in their last eight games when playing their 3rd road game in 4 days. Boston is also 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games playing on no rest. The Celtics are 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games off an ATS loss. Boston is 4-0 ATS in its last four trips to Atlanta. Give me the Celtics.

NBA | Raptors vs Heat
Play on: Heat -2½ -109 at pinnacle

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Miami Heat -2.5
The Miami Heat have started to play up to their potential now that they have most of their guys back from injury. They have won three straight and are 7-3 in their last 10 games overall despite playing eight of those on the road.
Now the Heat are back home and taking on a very tired Toronto Raptors team they should handle tonight. The Raptors will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back after a 102-109 loss to Philadelphia last night. They will also be playing their 5th game in 7 days, with is as tough as it gets in the NBA today.
Because their game with the 76ers was close, the Raptors were forced to play their starters big minutes last night. Siakam played 42 minutes, VanVleet 37 and Powell 35. Kyle Lowry has been out with a thumb injury and is questionable to return tonight. I just don't see the Raptors having much left in the tank for the Heat, who had yesterday off.
Plays against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (Toronto) - after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games against an opponent that went under the total by 24 or more points total in their last three games are 25-7 (78.1%) ATS over the last five seasons. Miami is 9-4 ATS in its last 13 meetings with Toronto. Bet the Heat Wednesday.

NCAA-B | Alabama vs Arkansas
Play on: Alabama +2 -103 at pinnacle

PICK - Alabama Crimson Tide +2
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 703
I will take my chances here with Crimson Tide as a small road dog against the Razorbacks. Alabama has hands down been the best team in the SEC this season. They enter with a 13-1 league mark, the only loss coming at Missouri by a mere 3 points. Note the Tide had by far their worst shooting game of conference play in that loss to the Tigers, shooting just 33% from the field.
Some might see this as a spot where Alabama could struggle, given Arkansas comes into this game having won 7 of their last 8 and are 13-1 at home this season. I just don't think that will be the case. Let's not overlook the fact that these two already played once this season and the Crimson Tide won that game easily 90-59.
Another factor here that I think adds some incentive for Alabama is they can clinch the SEC regular-season title with a win here. I also think great teams like the Crimson Tide don't take the foot off their gas this late in the season. They want to keep all the momentum they can going into to tournament time.
It's also worth pointing out that while Arkansas is 13-1 at home, their home wins in SEC play have come against Georgia, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss St and Florida. The Gators are the only one of those teams ranked in the Top 50 at KenPom (Alabama is No. 8). They are also have gone 0-7 ATS at home the last 3 seasons with a line of +3 to -3. Give me the Crimson Tide +2!

Play on: Coyotes -150 at Draft Kings

After dropping four of their previous five, the Coyotes got back on track with a comeback win against these same Ducks on Monday. Anaheim was up 3-0 but the Coyotes stormed all the way back for the win. I like their chances of building momentum from that victory; they're 6-1 their last seven, when playing with one day's rest in between games. With b2b games against Colorado coming up, the Coyotes know they can't afford to slip up here. Coach Tocchet had this to say off Monday's win: "We were god awful in the first period, probably our worst period of the season. We had a good response, got a couple of good goals and hung on. Glad we won, but it's not good enough." Expect Tocchet's team to get off to a better start in this one. With the home team 7-1 the last eight in the series, consider Arizona.

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Los Angeles Lakers today after they have dropped 3 straight games. The Jazz are the hottest team in the NBA so you're paying a premium to back them right now. The Lakers are still good enough without Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroeder to hang with the Jazz because they have Lebron James. The Lakers will be more hungry for a win tonight and they've been in any other game this season to end this skid. Los Angeles is 13-3 SU in road games this season and has been the best road team in the NBA. The Lakers are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games as underdogs, including 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as road dogs. The Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 matchups with Utah as well. Take Los Angeles.

Breaking Down the Utah Jazz's Historic ATS Run
Jason Logan

The Jazz have been steamrolling teams and have an NBA-best 25-6 record and 23-8 ATS mark. They're winning by an average of 9.8 points per game and have been betting favorites in all but three contests.

The Utah Jazz are making sweet, sweet NBA betting music this season. Heading into Wednesday's home game versus the Los Angeles Lakers, the Jazz are not only the NBA’s top team at 25-6 SU but also its best bet at 23-8 against the spread.

That red-hot ATS record has earned +12.9 units for NBA bettors or a windfall of $1,290 if you wagered $100 on each of Utah’s 31 games this season at flat -110 juice.

Those earnings are bolstered by two winning streaks: an 11-game ATS run between January 8 and January 29 and an eight-game ATS streak that was snapped in Friday's 116-112 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, with Utah closing as a 1-point road underdog.

Utah's historic ATS run

The Jazz were 18-2 ATS in the 20 games heading into last Thursday's 114-96 win in the first of two road stops versus Clippers (failing to cover in back-to-back outings on January 31 and February 2), which ranked as the second-best 20-game ATS stretch in the past 30 NBA seasons. And, depending on the closing spread used for grading Utah's 117-105 win over Detroit on February 2 (-12 or -12.5), that mark could have been 18-1-1 ATS.

The 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks own the top 20-game ATS run in that span, posting a 19-1 ATS mark from December 15 to January 21 (a streak that went 20-1 ATS before coming to an end). Those Hawks also strung together 15 consecutive ATS wins – another NBA betting record.

Utah boasted an average margin of victory of 15.6 points during that 11-game ATS stretch versus an average point spread of -5.5. On the year, the Jazz own an average margin of victory of 9.8 points per game and closed as betting favorites in all but three of their 31 contests.

Can the Jazz keep covering?

As the momentum builds and the bettors get wise to Utah's profitable push (now 20-3 ATS in the past 23 outings), oddsmakers will pad those spreads knowing that public money is coming. And once that money comes in, these spreads can make major moves before tipoff.

Take Utah's recent eight-game ATS run for example. The Jazz faced an average closing spread of -6.6 but those lines opened at an average of -5.1, moving up 1.5 points per game. Utah opened -3.5 at L.A. Thursday (the first of two road games vs. the Clippers) and jumped to -4.5 before moving to -6.5 upon news that Los Angeles would be without stars Paul George and Kawhi Leonard.

According to Consensus numbers, Utah garnered an average of 57 percent of bets placed during those eight contests, including 60, 57, 69, and 59 percent of bets in four of those outings, despite taking on three of the tougher teams in the Eastern Conference in the Philadelphia 76ers, Miami Heat, and Milwaukee Bucks—as well as the Clippers.

Eventually, there will be a tipping point when public perception pushes the spreads too high, opening up value on the other side of the board. Friday's loss to L.A. could have started the dominoes falling, however, that game saw different line movement as past outings due to the available statuses of George and Leonard (Utah opened as low as -2 and climbed as high as -5 before L.A.'s star were given the thumbs up, shrinking this line as low as Jazz +1).

One thing working for Utah backers during this magical season is that the Jazz aren't a very popular team among casual NBA fans. If the Los Angeles Lakers or Boston Celtics had started stringing together ATS wins left and right, you could be sure the public players would be all over it and any value would dry up faster than a ShamWow in the middle of the Utah salt flats.

Looking at the 2014-15 Hawks (another team outside of the NBA public darlings), they opened with a 33-12 ATS record in the first 45 games of the schedule, another NBA betting best.

As Atlanta's streak gained attention from the betting public, however, the spreads grew and the betting bonanza eventually came to an abrupt halt when the Hawks were installed as 17.5-point home favorites versus Minnesota on January 25, 2015, winning the game 112-100 but falling short of that pile of chalk. That tipped off a 1-4 ATS skid for the Hawks, who also faced lofty spreads of -14 and -16 in that span.

Atlanta would finish the season with a 50-31-1 record against the spread, going 17-19-1 ATS in its final 37 games (then falling flat with a 6-10 ATS mark in the playoffs). The Hawks boasted an average margin of victory of +4.5 points per game that season.

Looking at the all-time best bets in NBA gambling history, the 2009-10 Bucks are at the top of the mountain with a 52-28-2 ATS record in an 82-game season (the 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs went 43-22-1 ATS in a 66-game lockout-shortened schedule).

The Bucks, who covered at an incredible 65 percent clip that year, strung together 10 straight covers and went on an 11-0-1 ATS tear between February 19 and March 12. Milwaukee, which went 46-36 SU, owned an average margin of victory of only +1.3 points per game.

2/24 07:05 PM PT / 10:05 PM ET

NBA (517) LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS (518) UTAH JAZZ

Take: (518) UTAH JAZZ

Reason: The LA Lakers have lost two straight games and three of their last four. They have also failed to cover in their last three and are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games. They have also seen three of their last four totals go UNDER. This is in part due to Anthony Davis being out with an Achilles issue. Davis will be out again here tonight and the Lakers face the team with the best record in the NBA, the Jazz. The Jazz are 25-6 and they have lost just one game in their last 11. They allow just 106.4 ppg on the season and slightly fewer at home with a 106.0 ppg average. The loss of Davis is a big one for the Lakers and playing in the altitude of Salt Lake City is not a good combo for LA. Your free play tonight is on the Utah Jazz
