New Years Day Angles

Small sample size, but home teams are 9-2 ATS and 2-8-1 O/U in previous 2 seasons

Dating back to the 2013-2014 season, on New Years Day, road teams off a home win are 2-17 SU and 3-16 ATS. This is active to fade the Magic.



Magic @ Pistons

  • Magic: 11-23 1H ATS
  • Baller System active to play on the Pistons: Conference home favorite with revenge
  • Situational Spots: Rest advantage and revenge favor the Pistons.
  • New Years Day angle shared above fading the Magic.

TMB Thoughts: We like the Pistons in this spot, but the best angle is Pistons 1H -1. The Pistons’ offense has been clicking in the last 10 days (10th in Offensive Rating) and we have no interest in playing them full game as the scrappy Magic have a tendency for 2nd half comebacks.


Bulls @ Wizards

  • 1 Baller System favoring Wizards (fading team off OT win)
  • 2 Baller Systems on the Over

TMB Thoughts: Situational angles point to the Wizards, but we don’t trust them enough. Passing on this one.



Pelicans @ Heat

  • Heat: 0-6 1H ATS and 1-5 full game ATS on the first game of a B2B
  • Heat: 1-5 1H Team Total O/U on first game of B2B
  • Heat: 1-5 1H Team Total O/U with more rest than opponent
  • Pelicans: 3-12 ATS on the road

TMB Thoughts: The Heat 1H trends are interesting – I don’t think it’s enough to be actionable, especially with the Pelicans’ horrid defense. We’ll pass on it.


Nets @ Raptors

  • Nets: 21-11 1H ATS
  • Nets: 5-1 1H ATS on the first game of a B2B
  • Nets: 6-1 1H ATS with more rest than opponent
  • 2 Baller Systems active on the Nets

TMB Thoughts: Trends point to Nets 1H, but they’ve shifted from favorites to underdogs. With D’Angelo Russell’s debut, this game feels unpredictable. We are passing, for now.


Mavericks @ Rockets

  • Rockets: 10-22 1H O/U
  • Mavericks: Luka Doncic out
  • Mavericks: Travel fatigue (4th straight game on the road)
  • Rockets short-handed (Amen Thompson suspended)

TMB Thoughts: With both teams facing key absences and 2 Baller Systems favoring the under, the play is the under. We are playing the 1H Under 114.



Hawks @ Nuggets

  • Nuggets: 20-11 O/U
  • Hawks: 21-11-1 O/U
  • 2 Baller Systems on the Over

TMB Thoughts: Two over-leaning teams and system plays point to Over 246.5. High total, but we trust the pace and defensive issues to push it over.



76ers @ Kings

  • Kings: 12-21 ATS (6-13 ATS at home)
  • Kings: 2-12 ATS as favorites of 2.5-7 points
  • 76ers: 9-21 1H O/U


TMB Thoughts: Neither team has been trustworthy this season. We will sit this one out.

NFL: Ravens @ Texans

  • Texans: 12-3 1H ATS, 6-9 ATS overall
  • Texans: 5-10 Team Total O/U
  • Ravens: 12-3 O/U
  • Baller System: Playoff rematch unders are in play.

TMB Thoughts: With playoff rematch trends favoring lower scores and the Texans have really struggled with their offense as of late, we’re playing the Under 47 here.

We have nothing meaningful on the Chiefs/Steelers game.


NBA: Spurs @ Knicks

  • Spurs: 10-18-1 1H ATS – Slow starts continue to plague San Antonio, struggling to cover early.
  • Knicks: 9-4 1H ATS as home favorites – Consistently strong out of the gate at Madison Square Garden.
  • TMB Thoughts: Knicks have been a reliable 1H team, and the Spurs’ trends suggest this continues. We like Knicks 1H -5 to take advantage of this early edge.


NBA: Timberwolves @ Mavericks

  • Mavericks: 1-11 O/U holding opponents’ team total as home favorites – Dallas locks down at home, keeping opposing scores low.
  • Timberwolves: 7-21 Team Total O/U – Minnesota has been unreliable offensively all season long.
  • TMB Thoughts: The numbers overwhelmingly point toward the Timberwolves struggling to hit their mark. We’re backing Timberwolves Team Total Under 108, expecting Dallas’ defense to dictate the pace.


NBA: 76ers @ Celtics

  • Sixers: 7-20 1H O/U | 9-21 Team Total O/U – Philadelphia trends heavily towards low-scoring starts and full-game team total unders.
  • TMB Thoughts: While the trends are clear, the line feels sharp. We’re not seeing enough value to confidently back any angle, so this is a stay-away for now.


NBA: Lakers @ Warriors

  • Warriors: 7-21 1H Team Total O/U – Golden State has struggled to find offensive rhythm early in games.
  • TMB Thoughts: Despite the trend, there’s not enough conviction to place a bet. We’re passing on this one.


NBA: Nuggets @ Suns

  • Nuggets: 1-7 ATS as road favorites – Denver has struggled to cover this season, especially as road favorites.
  • Suns: 9-19 ATS | 4-11 ATS at home – Phoenix has been consistently underperformed against market expectations, especially at home.
  • TMB Thoughts: We’re leaning Nuggets -2.5, with a Baller System active on the Nuggets and Devin Booker out for the Suns.
