We won an ugly one yesterday with Minnesota and we will win another ugly one today with New Jersey. I assumed with all of the previous big games, San Antonio would have a tough time last night but it was just the opposite and that high will turn into a low and for pretty obvious reasons. The Spurs are coming off a big win last night in Boston which was their second straight over a top quality opponent, Cleveland being the first, and now they are expected to get up again and win by a large number on the road against the worst team in the NBA. I don’t see it happening. It has been an up and down season for the Spurs and after putting together an 8-1 run, it has gone 4-3 over its last seven games with six of these coming against teams that will be in the playoffs and four of those are the best, Boston, Los Angeles, Cleveland and Orlando. A 4-3 mark is good against this competition but with each of these being big games, it can be mentally taxing. That spells huge letdown tonight and even worse is the fact that it has Houston, Orlando and the Lakers again upcoming in the next three games. New Jersey had its two-game winning streak snapped at Chicago on Saturday and we cashed a very easy ticket with that one. It is pretty evident that the season has been a tough one for New Jersey but it has been playing much more competitive of late as proven by its 8-5 ATS record over its last 13 games. The Nets are not expected to win these games and that puts line value on our side as well as putting the public on the other side. New Jersey falls into an effective situation here as well. Play against favorites that are coming off an upset win as a road underdog while playing eight or more games in 14 days. This situation is 127-82 ATS (60.8 percent) over the last five seasons. Making this even stronger is the fact that the Spurs are 0-7 ATS this season coming off a win as an underdog while also going 4-13 ATS coming off a road win this year. The Nets have covered five straight against the Western Conference and it continues tonight. 3* New Jersey Nets
