We ended 2024 poorly, with a 1-4 on the featured trends from Friday’s report – let’s bounce back on today’s New Year slate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Years Day Angles<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Small sample size, but home teams are 9-2 ATS <\/strong>and 2-8-1 O\/U<\/strong> in previous 2 seasons<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/strong>. This is active to fade the Magic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n



Magic @ Pistons<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Magic:<\/strong> 11-23 1H ATS<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Baller System active to play on the Pistons:<\/strong> Conference home favorite with revenge<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Situational Spots: Rest advantage and revenge favor the Pistons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • New Years Day angle shared above fading the Magic.
    <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> We like the Pistons in this spot, but the best angle is Pistons 1H -1<\/strong><\/mark>.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n


    Bulls @ Wizards<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • 1 Baller System favoring Wizards (fading team off OT win)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 2 Baller Systems on the Over<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> Situational angles point to the Wizards, but we don\u2019t trust them enough. Passing on this one.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n



      Pelicans @ Heat<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Heat: 0-6 1H ATS<\/strong> and 1-5 full game ATS<\/strong> on the first game of a B2B<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Heat: 1-5 1H Team Total O\/U<\/strong> on first game of B2B<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Heat: 1-5 1H Team Total O\/U <\/strong>with more rest than opponent<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Pelicans:<\/strong> 3-12 ATS<\/strong> on the road<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Nets @ Raptors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Nets: 21-11 1H ATS<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Nets: 5-1 1H ATS<\/strong> on the first game of a B2B<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Nets: 6-1 1H ATS<\/strong> with more rest than opponent<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • 2 Baller Systems active on the Nets
          <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> Trends point to Nets 1H, but they\u2019ve shifted from favorites to underdogs. With D’Angelo Russell\u2019s debut, this game feels unpredictable. We are passing, for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n


          Mavericks @ Rockets<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          • Rockets:<\/strong> 10-22 1H O\/U<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Mavericks:<\/strong> Luka Doncic out <\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Mavericks: Travel fatigue (4th straight game on the road)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Rockets short-handed (Amen Thompson suspended)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> 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<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



            Hawks @ Nuggets<\/strong>
            <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Nuggets:<\/strong> 20-11 O\/U<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Hawks:<\/strong> 21-11-1 O\/U<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • 2 Baller Systems on the Over<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
              \n
              \"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

              TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> Two over-leaning teams and system plays point to Over 246.5<\/mark>.<\/strong> High total, but we trust the pace and defensive issues to push it over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



              <\/p>\n\n\n\n

              76ers @ Kings<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Kings: 12-21 ATS <\/strong>(6-13 ATS at home)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Kings: 2-12 ATS <\/strong>as favorites of 2.5-7 points<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • 76ers: 9-21 1H O\/U<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n


                TMB Thoughts:<\/strong> Neither team has been trustworthy this season. We will sit this one out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
