PHATLINE - TUESDAY NIGHT MATCH UPS

PHATLINE picked your winners for you last night as we had all three games correct to give us a 3-0 night. With four games on tonights schedule, alot is on the line as there could be another team having their season come to and end tonight.

Dallas vs New Orleans -6
The frustration of the MAvs showed the other night as the Jason Kidd`s Flagrant Foul during the last game put a perfect stamp on his career along with Dirk, Cant Win the Big One. The Hornets are 24-14 ATS off DD win and22-5 ATS off 5 straight games w/ 14 or less turnovers.


Philadelphia +10 at Detroit
With the road team going 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. The 76ers also have the edge has the Pistons are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 playoff games as a favorite. Ten points is just to many to give in a game 5 making this a great situational play.



Utah +2 vs Houston
As the Rockets had the long wining streak earlier in the season, T-Mac and the Rockets are, 0-8 ATS at home off road ATS win/SU loss and 0-7 ATS at home after scoring 85 points or less. The Jazz have a Power Rating which has them winning the game SU, so we will take the +2.

Phoenix +6 vs San Antonio
The Suns in a must win spot, they may not come away with the win but can get the cover has this will be a very close game giving us the easy cover. Underdog is 6-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings.

2008 Basketball Season 50-34-1

PHATLINE - Monday Night

With 3-games on tonight with a possible sweep and having our first 2-teams make it to the next round the Phatline has your winners.

Toronto vs Orlando -7
The Magic have outscored the Raptors in the forth quarter pulling away and stepping up. Orlando is 10-4 ATS when listed as a favorite between 6 1/2 and 9 points.

Boston vs Atlanta +9
With the Hawks winning last game they may have sparked enough, maybe not to get the SU win but to get the back door cover.

Lakers -5 vs Denver
The Nuggets are ready for this season to be over with as the Lakers have won all 3 games by 15 pts or more. They also maybe looking for a new coach by the end of the week.

2008 Basketball Season 47-34-1

PHATLINE - - NBA SUNDAY PLAYOFFS

As we started the day yesterday with a 2-0 start, we gave it back to them last night going 0-2 for a push night. Four more Big Games on today and PHATLINE as today's NBA winners.

CLEVELAND +4 vs Washington
After embarrassing Lebron and the Cavs by 36 pts they will be looking for revenge today in Washington.

SAN ANTONIO +4 vs PHOENIX
As we started the Series with the Suns this series is over today as the SPURS will go for the first sweep of the PLAYOFFS.

Detroit vs PHLI +6
The Sixers have shocked the Pistons by taking two of the first three games in the series and look to build on their 5-2 mark ATS this season when a home underdog between 3 1/2 and 6 points.

NEW ORLEANS +5 vs Dallas
Dallas is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 games and also 2-4 SU in its last 6 games. This is a must win game for the Mavs but have not steeped up in the Big games all year.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 45-32-1

PHATLINE - NBA SATURDAY

After getting 2 of 3 back last night after our first losing night in over a month. We have a bunch of games on all day.

Orlando +3 vs Toronto
Toronto beat the Magic last year and are to small in match ups vs Orlando. Howard can not be guarded by anyone on the Magic.
Lakers +2 vs Denver

KOBE and Denver don't go together and no one on the Nuggets can D- him so another high scoring night for KOBE and SHOWTIME.

BOSTON -8 vs Atlanta
Boston has won every game vs the Hawks this year and will not start tonight.

Houston vs UTAH -8
After losing the other night at home the JAZZ will bounce back for the cover tonight.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 43-30-1

PHATLINE - NBA PLAOFFS GAME 3

Are first losing night in a over a month comes back to get us with a 0-3 night last night we come into tonight with 3-solid plays to get it back.

Detroit vs Phili +5
Home dog in this match up, and the fact that the team Pistons starter had alot of playing time at the end of the season, will help the 76`ers match up well. Phil beat the Pistons SU earlier in the year and could pull a SU win.

New Orleans +7 vs Dallas
Although Dallas was built for the playoffs they will be out hustled by a younger Hornets team. Dirk can still light it up but J-Kidd cannot cover CP3

San Antonio +7 vs Phoenix
The Suns look like they are out matched against the Spurs. After taking the Suns in the first 2-games I feel the need to fade the Suns and they look to get edged out every game vs the Spurs as they find a way to win and get the cover tonight.

2008 Basketball Season 41-29-1

PHATLINE - TOUGH NIGHT

Tonight's game will be very close and have a BIG IMPACT through out the playoffs

CLEVELAND +5 vs WASHINGTON
We will take Lebron and not go against him in the first round. Washington is playing to physical to make past first round of playoffs

ORLANDO +4 vs TORONTO
With Steven A Smith saying Chris Bosh playimg like a scrub Manute Bol, THe re is not much comparison. Cleveland will preform a let down and Have the Magic Step Up

HOUSTON vs UTAH -9
The Jazz have plenty of left overs for the Mcgrady team who has not been out of the playoffs.


2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 41-26-14

PHATLINE - BOUNCE BACK WEDS

Last night was our first losing night in over a month going 1-2. I look for tonight to be three big games with a must win, blowout, and cover.

Philidelphia vs DETROIT -10
Pistons are pissed and will be looking for a big win tonight, as Pistons are 10-1 ATS at The Palace, after one or more consecutive losses this season. Detroit missed alot of key freethrows and played bad ball in 4th qt last game and I dont see a repeat of that tonight.

Atlanta vs BOSTON -15
After Mike Bibby called out the Celtics and their fans this week, Boston will be looking to blow out the Hawks as the Celtis are 13-2 ATS off a home blowout win by 20 points or more this season. The Hawks carry the worst team in the playoff and were under .500 this year, and Boston will also be facing a Hawks whoa re 9-21 ATS in road games revenging a same season loss vs opponent.

Denver vs LAKERS -8
We have been on Showtime the last month and I dont believe tonight is the night to start fading. Home team is 13-5 ATS in the last 18 meetings. The Nuggets have not won a playoff series in 14 -years. Kobe is not a big fan of Denver and with no one playing D on him, he makes it tough to beat him.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 38-26-1

PHATLINE - 3-GAME WEDS

Phatline, hammered another 2-games last night and taking this hot streak into tonights games with 3-games on for the taking.

Dallas vs New Orleans -3
Dallas has been bad the second half of the season, 8-14 ATS against winning teams in the second half of the season. Chris Paul will led the Hornets to a 2-0 led. The Hornets are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 home games.

Toronto vs ORLANDO -6
Dwight Howard got his taste with his first playoff win on Sunday. I see the Magic as a potential Eastern Conf. finals team as Stan Van Gundy is the guy who built the Heat Championship team before being booted by Pat Riley. The Raptors are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 road games.

Phoenix +2 vs San Antonio
With the heartbreak loss the in double overtime I look for the SUNS to come as a MUST win game and will get the SU win.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 37-24-1

PHATLINE - NBA PLAYOFFS MONDAY NIGHT

After taking the weekend off getting prepared for what could be a long strecth of games, we come in with a strong record for the 2008 basketball season. The NBA playoffs are packed with, what will be great matchups.

WASHINGTON vs CLEVELAND -2
With Gilbert hurt and Lebron at home the Cavs will go up 2-0 tonight.


UTAH +1 vs HOUSTON
The Rockets early season run will hurt them here as we also called for the loss against the Celtics. The fact that T-Mac has never been out of the first round of the playoffs will hurt as much as missing Yao.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 35-24-1

NBA - FRIDAY NIGHT

We come in on a bit of a hot streak with 3 straight wins, with a few games standing out to me tonight. These are tonight PHATLINE, and maybe a great parlay? Will let you be the judge.

Atlanta vs New York +6
Knicks are playing to try to save their coach's job on a four game win streak and catching points here?
81% on the Hawks? I will take the Knicks all day here and also a ML play.

Wizards vs PISTONS -4
Pistons are more of Fav than the line shows here. Wizards used to much energy against the Celtics the other night and the time change will hurt the Wiz here.

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 34-23-1

PHATLINE - DENVER @ GOLDEN ST

Phatline has hammered the last two nights as both plays came out with SU wins.
Tonight is one of the biggest games for both the Nuggets and Warriors. One of those teams can claim sole possession of the eighth seed in the Western Conference playoffs.

Both teams enter tonights game with the same records and if the Nuggets can claim a victory, they'll own the first tiebreaker with a 3-1 record against the Warriors this season.

A win by Golden State would not only even the season series but it would equal Denver's record (28-20) against Western Conference opponents - the second tiebreaker.

DENVER +5 vs GOLDEN STATE

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 32-23-1

PHATLINE - NBA WEST SHOWDOWN

Great bounce back for the Phatline last night after losing Weds. night for an easy cover as we did not even need the points as Trail Blazers knocked off the Lakers.

Tonights game with the Suns and Spurs should be what we have seen all week, another great basketball game. As the Spurs came from behind last year to beat the Suns in the playoffs, the Suns want revenge and with ShaQ it might just be enough tonight to cover the number.

SUNS +7 vs SPURS

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 31-23-1

WHAT A GREAT GAME!

With that said, other than us losing our 2ND Championship Game in an the Big three of sports,
(Last loss was the Vince Young game), As another college basketball season comes to and end the NBA playoffs get ready to begin.



The Lakers travel to Portland and with 86% on showtime we will fade the public like we DID NOT DO last night and came back to get us. The Trailblazers are 9-1 ATS against the Lakers and beat them SU earlier in the year. It will be tuff to stop Kobe and his boys from getting there 5Th straight win but should do enough to cover the number

TRAILBLAZERS +9 vs LAKERS

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 30-23-1

CHAMPIONSHIP NIGHT

What a great game we have for a championship match up. Both of these teams were at the top of every ones`list of possible champions this season and tonight we find out who will be the big winner.

Kansas used alot of energy in the UNC game that will carry over and hurt them this game as MEMPHIS will out hustle and out play the Jayhawks. The Tigers added the piece of the puzzle was missing last year and he could be the #1 pick in the NBA draft, Derrick Rose. MEMPHIS will be to tuff tonight and become your National Champion.

Kansas vs MEMPHIS -2


2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 30-22-1

FINAL FOUR SATURDAY

Todays games will not be as close as the experts think. The Memphis Tigers are playing extremely good basketball and they will not have to worry as this could be a blow out. UCLA has not played a team like the Tigers all year.

UCLA vs MEMPHIS -2

Roy Williams will show his old school, why he moved on to Tarheel country and out coach Bill Self today has the Big 12 has 1 champioship in the last 50 years and Kansas will lose all hopes today.

Kanasas vs UNC -3

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 29-21-1

FINAL FOUR WEEKEND, LOOKS GREAT FOR SAN ANTONIO!

Coming into Final Four weekend we look at who will be the big winner this weekend, Las Vegas or San Antonio? As we did for the Scottsdale Phoenix area (Sunday, February 3, 2008 Super Bowl Sunday). San Antonio is projected to bring home $80 in new revenue. That's a lot of money that can pay for a lot of things!!

2008 BASKETBALL SEASON 29-21-1

NIT CHAMPIONSHIP

Tonight's NIT championship will be another history making event tonight, yes, I know we called for history last 2-nights ago but, we go tonight as the Ohio State Buckeyes will become the first team ever to lose the NCAA Championship game and come back the next season to win the NIT.

The Buckeyes are 4-0 ATS this tournament and are playing very good basketball. I did call for UMASS to have a let down last game but did not and blew out the Gators. So I look for tonight to be the let down.

UMASS vs OHIO ST. -3

FINAL FOUR NIT TUESDAY NIGHT

Tonight's Final Four Nit will give us another history making event tonight. The Florida Gators and the Ohio State Buckeyes will become the first teams in history to Play in the NCAA and NIT Championship games in consecutive seasons.

The Gators will be to much for you Mass coming off the upset win at Syracuse with the long lay off.

The Buckeyes are going to be led by Jamar Butler who I look to have a BIG GAME tonight as the get prepared for the GATORS tomorrow night
FLORIDA GATORS -4 vs UMASS

OLE MISS vs OHIO STATE -2
