Steve Merril's NBA Report (Monday, Mar. 31)
Below are two free NBA selections for Monday.
ATLANTA -3 (at Memphis) – 8:05 pm ET #605
Atlanta is a young team that is finally playing up to their potential, and the Hawks are now fighting for a spot in the Eastern Conference playoff race. Atlanta is an excellent 7-2 SU in their past nine games and they have been dominating weak teams.
Memphis is one of the worst teams in the league, standing just 19-54 SU, and they just lost outright to a terrible Clippers squad that entered the game on a 2-18 SU slide. Memphis is awful on defense, allowing 106 ppg and 48% FG this season, and they will now be facing a red-hot Atlanta offense that has scored at least 105 points or more in seven of their past nine games.
Road favorites that have scored at least 105+ points in three straight games are 121-72 ATS, and the Hawks fit a solid 41-21 ATS subset tonight based on the Grizzlies double-digit loss on Saturday.
DALLAS -6 (at L.A. Clippers) – 10:35 pm ET #611
The Clippers are coming off a rare win on Saturday night when they beat a terrible Memphis squad, but Los Angeles is still just 3-18 SU in their past 21 games. The Clippers now qualify in a negative 75-132 ATS home letdown situation which plays against losing teams off a SU win.
The Mavericks are struggling without Dirk Nowitzki in the lineup, and they have lost five of their past six games outright. However, that one win was an easy 13-point victory versus the Clippers last week, in which Dallas led by as many as 21 points. The recent slump will ensure the Mavericks remain focused tonight.
