-Philly is on a 4 game win streak & they have taken off since Elton Brand went down with a season ending injury, as the team truely knows what style of ball they need to play to be the most successful, & that is getting out & running.
-Philly just completed a very nice 5-2 SU & 3-2-2 ATS 7 game homestand before the all-star break & Philly is 5-1 SU & ATS their L/6 road games-
-Indiana has won their L/2 games at home, & those home wins were over NBA elite teams Cleveland & Orlando. Indy is also 7-3 ATS their L/10 home games & Indiana has 3 key players (Dunleavy, Foster & Daniles) from their rotation who are questionable for tonight's game.
Milwaukee @ Detroit

-San Antonio is coming off a 2 pt loss AT Toronto the game before the all-star break. That was a terrible spot for the Spurs however, as that was their 3rd game in 4 days on their current 8 game east coast road trip-
-NY is on a 6 game losing streak & they are 0-3 SU & 1-2 ATS their L/3 home games, with the 3 losses coming vs the NBA's elite teams (Lakers, Celtics & the Cavs).

LA Clippers @ Phoenix
-Phoenix beat the Clippers 109-103 AT the Clippers as 9 pt road favorites, back on Jan. 11th & Phoenix beat the Clippers AT Phoenix 106-98 as 13 pt favs back on Jan. 2nd . A healthy Clippers team will be looking to avenge that home loss to Phoenix tonight-
-Phoenix fired head coach Terry Porter over the all-star break & assistan Alvin Gentry is taking over a Phoenix team that is a mess chemistry wise. Apparently Gentry will have Phoenix much more of a up-tempo team like they have been in the past, & the coaching change could really give the team & its players & huge boost to come out and show something in Gentry's 1st game as head coach-
-Phoenix is a terrible 8-16 ATS at home this season & they are 0-4 ATS the L/4 games vs the Clippers-
-Clippers have won 3 of their L/4 games going into the all-star break & I really think when this team is healthy & has all their key players like they have recently, this is a very dangerous & undervalued team-
Atlanta @ LA Lakers
-This is the 1st meeting between these teams this season, & they split their 2 games last season, as Atlanta won AT Atlanta 98-95 as 3.5 pt home dogs & the Lakers winning at LA 122-93 as 11 pt favorites. LA is 3-1 SU & ATS their L/4 games vs Atlanta-
-Lakers lost their last game before the all-star break AT Utah, in what was a very difficult spot for the Lakers in that game, as they were not only playing their 3rd game in 4 days, but they were extermely travel weary, having traveled all over the country-
-Lakers had won 11 of their L/12 games SU before the Utah loss, but they are also just 3-6 ATS their L/9 home games & the Lakers are just 5-8 ATS at home vs Eastern Conference teams this season, while Atlanta is 6-3 ATS on the road vs Western Conference teams this season-
-Atlanta has won 4 of their L/5 games SU & are 4-1 ATS their L/5 as well & they are coming off a 4 pt road win AT Detroit in their last game before the all-star break-
