NBA Hot and Cold Bets Week 14
by: Matt Fargo Sports
The NBA is approaching the All-Star break and this is a big stretch for some teams before taking some time off. Matt Fargo will be looking into Hot and Cold NBA bets throughout the season and he takes a look at four games that you will want to pay attention to coming up over the weekend.
NBA Hot Bets
Friday – Boston Celtics at New York Knicks 7:35 PM ET
This is a tough spot for the Celtics who are coming off a massive game on Thursday against the Lakers. Win or lose, that is a difficult game to rebound from. Boston will be playing for some revenge as it came into New York on January 4th and lost by 12 points. That was the first of four straight defeats before running off 12 consecutive wins. The Celtics were 7-0-1 ATS in the prior eight meetings before that latest setback with New York. The Knicks are playing some excellent basketball right now despite coming off a loss on Wednesday against Cleveland. It has been a tough week with that game following a game against the Lakers. The Knicks were rolling along with six wins in its last seven games before the Lakers came to town. New York is on an 8-1 ATS run and is 8-2 ATS in its last 10 home games going back to that Boston victory. That has improved the Knicks ATS mark at home to 15-10.
Sunday – Los Angeles Lakers at Cleveland Cavaliers 3:30 PM ET
The good news for the Lakers is that they will have had a couple days off in-between playing the Celtics on Thursday and the Cavaliers on Sunday. All the time off in the world may not do much difference here however. The Lakers have been great on the road but they will be facing the only NBA team that has yet to lose at home as the Cavaliers are a perfect 23-0 on their home floor. While the Lakers will have had two full days off to prepare and rest, Cleveland will have had three days since its last game was Wednesday against the Knicks. The Cavaliers will be looking to avenge the 17-point loss in Los Angeles from last month which is the biggest loss of the season. The Cavaliers are 18-5 ATS at home which is even more impressive considering the large spreads associated with being undefeated. The Lakers top scoring offense will have much tougher time against the Cavaliers top scoring defense on their home floor this time around.
NBA Cold Bets
Saturday – Miami Heat at Philadelphia 76ers 7:05 PM ET
When it looked like Philadelphia was finally coming out its season long slump, things are digressing once again. The Sixers started the season a disappointing 13-20 and the horrendous start led to the firing of head coach Maurice Cheeks. The Sixers started turning things around with a 10-2 run but they have since lost their last two games heading into Thursday’s game against the Pacers. A win there will help ease some of the recent problems and even the current homestand record at 2-2 but there are concerns. Most notably they have not been able to finish games as they have lost eight games this season in which they led after three quarters. Miami is playing pretty average ball right now and it has yet to put a major run together. The Heat are 12-11 ATS on the road and is coming off a loss in Detroit on Wednesday. That has been beneficial going forward so far this season as Miami is 16-5 following a loss, going 13-8 ATS in those 21 games.
Friday – Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies 8:05 PM ET
Oh what can you say about the Clippers? This team is playing horrible right now as injuries have taken their toll and completely disrupted the chemistry of this team. Los Angeles is tied with Washington for the worst record in the NBA and its 20-29 ATS record is certainly nothing to be proud of. The Clippers have dropped seven straight games heading into this contest and none of those have been close. All seven setbacks have been by at least 12 points with an average scoring margin of 20.3 ppg. The Grizzlies have won two in a row for the first time since mid-December and those two victories snapped a 12-game losing streak. New head coach Lionel Hollins may be on to something although it is too little, too late. Memphis does own the worst ATS record in the league at 17-30-1 but it is 6-5 ATS at home against losing teams. The favorite has covered six of the last eight in this series and the home team is on a 4-0 ATS run. Both of those runs will favor Memphis on Friday.

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Sunday May 20, 2012 10:30 pm
We won with the Spurs on Saturday and we will go right back with them on Sunday. It was not a good day for the Staples Center home teams as the Clippers and Lakers blew a combined lead of 37 points and the former hurt the most as the Clippers are now down 3-0 in this series and you ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Sunday May 20, 2012 3:30 pm
We lost with the Heat in Game Three which was pretty much a must win spot for them and now this one turns into a definite one. A loss here and the series isn't over for Miami but it is pretty close so its needs to tie this one up before heading back home for Game Five. The Heat have ... read more

Oklahoma City Thunder @ Los Angeles Lakers Saturday May 19, 2012 10:30 pm
The Lakers were able to climb back into the series last night with a win over Oklahoma City to pull to within a game. It will be short-lived though as these teams play again Saturday in the second of a back-to-back playoff set at Staples Center. It was obviously a must win for Los ... read more

Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros Saturday May 19, 2012 7:15 pm
The Rangers took the opener of this series last night to improve to 25-15 overall including 14-6 on the road. Those 14 road wins are tied with Baltimore for the most in the American League and they have built a five-game lead in the American League West. Derek Holland gets the call ... read more

San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Clippers Saturday May 19, 2012 3:30 pm
This is a big weekend for the Clippers which would love nothing more than to sweep the two games played in Los Angeles to even up this series but it simply will not happen. They likely will not even win one of the games as they are clearly overmatched against one of the most efficient ... read more
NBA Basketball
Boston Celtics @ Philadelphia 76ers Friday May 18, 2012 8:05 pm
We played on the Sixers Wednesday and they certainly came up small as Boston was able to grab back the home court edge after a home split in the first two games. This makes Philadelphia in a prime situation on Friday in a chance to even up this series at home. The Sixers were embarrassed ... read more

Baltimore Orioles @ Washington Nationals Friday May 18, 2012 7:05 pm
Jake Arrieta has been either really good or really bad this year and I expect to see the latter tonight. He is coming off consecutive horrible starts at home against the Rangers and Rays to push his ERA to 5.21 on the season and while he has been better on the road, this is not the ... read more

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres Thursday May 17, 2012 10:05 pm
The Dodgers are finding life without Matt Kept pretty tough. Since going on the disabled list with an injured hamstring, the Dodgers have managed to score only six runs total, going 1-2 in the three games he has missed. They have dropped the last two and with the loss last night, ... read more

Miami Heat @ Indiana Pacers Thursday May 17, 2012 7:05 pm
Miami let one get away in Game Two as the Heat lost at home to the Pacers and thus, lost home court advantage in this series. They need to get it back and it needs to be done here in the first game in Indiana because being down 2-1 with the possibility of being down 3-1 is not the ... read more

Chicago White Sox @ Los Angeles Angels Thursday May 17, 2012 3:35 pm
The Angels took the opener of this two-game set last night and they go for the two-game sweep this afternoon before heading out on a 10-game roadtrip. They have obviously been one of the biggest disappointments is baseball this season but they are far from out of anything with so ... read more
