Spain - La Liga

2pm ET

Sociedad v Espanyol

Last Head-To-Heads at Sociedad:
1-1
2-3 (Espanyol win)
1-0 (Sociedad win)
2-1 (Sociedad win)

Recent Form:
Sociedad: 2-3-1
Espanyol: 2-2-2

KEY STAT: Sociedad's five home league and European games have produced 24 goals

EXPERT VERDICT: Espanyol look a big price to spring a surprise in San Sebastian. The Catalans have only lost two of their last seven – they were against Barcelona and Real Madrid – while Sociedad do leak goals at home after conceding ten in four league outings. The visitors signed off last term with three away victories in four, and can return to winning ways.

RECOMMENDATION: Espanyol (1)

Laurel - Race #8 - Post: 4:00pm - Optional Claiming - 8.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $47,000 Class Rating: 105

Rating: 4

#7 SEA RAVEN (ML=5/1)
#1 WARRIOROFTHEROSES (ML=9/2)


SEA RAVEN - Strong return on investment for this jockey and handler duo. Earnings per race is something that I feel can be a vital handicapping factor. This thoroughbred is ranked number one in this field. WARRIOROFTHEROSES - Davis and Dilodovico partnered with one another are a railbird's friend. I like that last race on October 8th at Laurel where he ran third.

Vulnerable Contenders: #5 TWOCUBANBROTHERSU (ML=3/1), #2 HICKORY HILL (ML=7/2), #6 FURYOFTHENORSEMEN (ML=5/1),

TWOCUBANBROTHERSU - This favorite may be out of condition without any recent morning drills. HICKORY HILL - Not probable that this horse will finish better than he did last time out when finishing fourth. FURYOFTHENORSEMEN - Hard to put your cash on the win end of any entrant that finishes second and third as often as this participant does.



STRAIGHT WAGERS:
Go with #7 SEA RAVEN on top if we're getting at least 8/5 odds

# 8 TIGER DISTINCTION 2/1

# 3 ON THE ZIP 3/1

# 6 CHAMPION KID 6/1

I think TIGER DISTINCTION is a quite good choice. His 74 average has this gelding with among the most respectable Equibase Speed Figures here. Competitive selection to take this race going in a dirt sprint. Looks very good to be close to the lead at the first call. ON THE ZIP - Ran a strong last race. With a strong return on investment of +82 this conditioner has shown decent results with entries running at this distance and surface. CHAMPION KID - Ran a sharp last race. Difficult to pass on this gelding with Paucar in the saddle.

Rating: 4

#10 MALIBU BLISS (ML=6/1)
#2 BEATUBYACHUBINOSE (ML=4/1)


MALIBU BLISS - Have to like the early speed on this one. No one else may even be close. Look for this one to go to the winner's circle at some decent odds in this event. Ran fifth in last race, but not more than five from the lead at the wire. BEATUBYACHUBINOSE - This filly is back in a race very quick. This is a great angle - Sprinters that come back in less than 10 days after a race. A good sign of a sharp and ready racehorse. This rider and trainer have a positive return on investment when they join forces. Sub-par effort last time around the track at Penn National was due to the off-going (she finished ninth). Have to do better in this event under better track conditions.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 ELIJAH'S PARTY (ML=3/1), #1 MY AUNT LILLY (ML=5/1), #1A HELLO MOON (ML=5/1),

ELIJAH'S PARTY - This animal doesn't win here at Parx Racing. She needs some alternative track to show her best. This mount ran a mediocre fig in the last race. She shouldn't run much better and will probably get beat in today's race running that figure. MY AUNT LILLY - This filly is always around, but just doesn't finish first. Difficult to bet on her on the win end. When examining today's class rating, she will have to earn a much better fig than last time out to battle in this dirt sprint. HELLO MOON - This horse doesn't have a conquering temperament. Quite often finishes close, but no cigar.

#10 MALIBU BLISS is the play if we get odds of 2/1 or better

# 6 STAR EXPRESS 12/1

# 3 HUNTERWOOD POINT 5/2

# 7 LUCKY DOES IT 9/2

STAR EXPRESS has a solid shot to take this contest especially at a long price. Has to be given a shot here on the basis of the figs in the speed department alone. Always good to invest in a trainer with this kind of competitive win percentage - 22 percent - at this distance & surface. This equine has some longshot angles going for him. HUNTERWOOD POINT - I like the rider on this horse - very good chance to win the contest. Had one of the top speed figs of this group in his last contest. LUCKY DOES IT - The winning percentage shown by horses entered by Kereluk running at this distance are the top in this field.

High-powered Eagles host Redskins

The Eagles will be trying to improve to 6-1 when they face the division rival Redskins on Monday Night Football.

The Redskins are coming off of a tough win over the 49ers last week, but they can’t possibly be very happy with the way that they played in that one. San Francisco has not yet won a game this season and Washington blew a big lead to let the 49ers back into that game. The Redskins will need to make sure they play a much cleaner game here, as they are going up against an Eagles team that has looked like one of the best in the NFC thus far. Philadelphia most recently faced a very good Carolina team and won 28-23 as a three-point road underdog on Thursday night. The Eagles have now won four straight and they have covered in each of their past three. They also happened to have dominated the Redskins when these teams met in Week 1. Washington was a two-point home underdog in that game and Philly ended up winning 30-17. The Redskins have, however, won-and-covered in four of the past five meetings with the Eagles, so perhaps they’ll get back on track here. One trend that stands out when looking at this game is the fact that Washington is 42-25 ATS as a road underdog of 3.5 to seven points since 1992. The Redskins are, however, a lousy 2-11 ATS versus teams allowing 7.5 yards per punt return or fewer under head coach Jay Gruden.

The Redskins will be trying to really pick up some momentum with a victory on Monday, but it’s not going to be easy to beat this Eagles team. If Washington can’t key in on Philadelphia’s weapons in the passing game then this game could get out of hand early. The main concern will be finding a way to stop Zach Ertz. He has been a matchup nightmare all season, so the Redskins will need to find a way to cover him. Sending extra safety help over the top might be the only way to do that. On offense, the Redsins will need QB Kirk Cousins (1,334 hards, 9 TD, 2 INT) to continue to play at a high level. Over the past three weeks, Cousins has thrown for seven touchdowns and just one interception. He is avoiding costly mistakes and the offense has had no trouble moving. The impressive thing is that the team is doing that without a running game. That might not be as easy against a good Philly defense, but Washington will just need to figure out a way.

The Eagles have been one of the most surprising teams in the league thus far, as they look like they are absolutely ready to contend. Not many expected them to be much more than a wild card contender this year, but it might be time to start taking them seriously. The big reason this team has been so good has been the play of QB Carson Wentz (1,584 yards, 13 TD, 3 INT). Wentz is only in his second season in the league, but he already looks like a Top 10 quarterback. Over the past two weeks alone, Wentz has thrown for seven touchdowns and just one pick. He has a cannon for an arm, but he also makes good decisions with the ball. Look for him to have a big game here, as he threw for 307 yards with two touchdowns the first time he faced Washington this year. And when Wentz does go to the air, look for TE Zach Ertz (34 rec, 405 yards, 4 TD), WR Nelson Agholor (20 rec, 321 yards, 4 TD) and WR Alshon Jeffery (24 rec, 317 yards, 2 TD) to be the ones he is throwing to. Ertz has been a monster this season, but Jeffery is due for a big game soon. He is far too talented to continue to take a backseat moving forward.

Monday Night Football Betting Preview: Redskins at Eagles

Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles (-4.5, 49)

When the Philadelphia Eagles step onto the field for Monday's prime-time clash against the visiting Washington Redskins, they will own the best record in the NFL and have a chance to take total control of the NFC East. The Eagles have ripped off four consecutive victories to open a two-game lead on the Redskins as they vie for a sweep of the season series.

Philadelphia won its first three games last season under rookie quarterback Carson Wentz before going into a tailspin, but the team seems better equipped to continue its success this time around. "Having a year together with this team, under Coach, myself, everything, we're just built differently," Wentz told reporters. "We have a different character makeup in that locker room, and we just have a bunch of guys that believe that, no matter the situation, we can find a way to win a ballgame." Washington, which won five straight in the series before dropping a 30-17 decision to the Eagles in the season opener, held on for a 26-24 victory over winless San Francisco last weekend after building an early 17-point lead. The Redskins' only other loss was a 29-20 setback at then-unbeaten Kansas City, which also handed Philadelphia its only defeat.

POWER RANKINGS: Redskins (0) - Eagles (-3) + home field (-3) = Eagles -6

LINE HISTORY: The Eagles opened as 5.5-home chalk and early money on the road team has brought that number down a full-point to 4.5, where it currently stands. The total hit the betting board at 48.5 and has been bet up at an even 49.

INJURY REPORT:

Washington - OT Trent Williams (Probable, Knee), LB Ryan Anderson (Probable, Back), LB Mason Foster (Questionable, Shoulder), G Tyler Catalina (Questionable, Concussion), RB Rob Kelley (Questionable, Ankle), S Deshazor Everett (Questionable, Hamstring), CB Bashaud Breeland (Questionable, Knee), S Stefan McClure (Questionable, Knee), CB Josh Norman (Doubtful, Ribs), OT Jonathan Allen I-R, Foot), K Dustin Hopkins (I-R, Hip).

Philadelphia - DT Beau Allen (Probable, Foot), DT Destiny Vaeao (Probable, Wrist), DE Brandon Graham (Probable, Shoulder), LB Jordan Hicks (Probable, Ankle), RB Wendall Smallwood (Probable, Knee), OT Lance Johnson (Probable, Concussion), DT Tim Jernigan (Questionable, Ankle), CB Ronald Darby (Questionable, Ankle), S Jaylen Watkins (Questionable, Hamstring), LB Nigel Bradham (Questionable, Upper Body), WR Mack Hollins (Questionable, Leg)

ABOUT THE REDSKINS (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS, 3-2 O/U):Quarterback Kirk Cousins had his worst performance in the season opener, but he is coming off a strong three-game stretch and leads the NFC with a 106.4 passer rating. Running back Rob Kelley is dealing with an ankle injury, which could mean the bulk of playing time will go to rookie Samaje Perine and Chris Thompson, who already has recorded two 100-yard receiving performances and made four catches for 52 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. With wideouts Terrelle Pryor and Jamison Crowder continuing to struggle, the tight-end tandem of Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis has combined for 29 catches. Linebacker Preston Smith has registered 4.5 of the team's 15 sacks, including one in the season opener.

ABOUT THE EAGLES (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS, 4-2 O/U):Wentz entered the weekend fifth in passing yards (1,584) with 13 touchdowns and three interceptions, and during the four-game winning streak has thrown nine scoring passes against only one pick. Moving to the slot has provided a boost for third-year wideout Nelson Agholor, who has recorded four catches and a TD reception in each of the last two games. However, Wentz's top target is tight end Zach Ertz, who hauled in a pair of touchdown passes last week and has been a nemesis for the Redskins - evidenced by an eight-catch, 93-yard performance in Week 1. Philadelphia ranks No. 1 in the league against the run, allowing an average of 65.7 yards, but is surrendering a generous 273.5 passing yards.

TRENDS:

* Redskins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.
* Over is 8-0 in Redskins last 8 games following a ATS loss.
* Over is 9-2 in Eagles last 11 vs. NFC East.
* Redskins are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 meetings.

CONSENSUS: The home fave Eagles are picking up 55 percent of the action on the spread and Over is grabbing 64 percent of the totals selections.

MNF - Redskins at Eagles

LAST WEEK

The Redskins (3-2 SU, 2-3 ATS) built a commanding 17-0 lead over the winless 49ers, but San Francisco scored 17 unanswered points to even the game at 17-17. Washington scored the next nine points, including a Kirk Cousins seven-yard touchdown run to take a 26-17 advantage. San Francisco cut the deficit to 26-24 and had an opportunity to win it on the final drive, but came up short.

Washington failed to cash as 12-point favorites in the two-point triumph, its first opportunity laying points this season. Cousins produced a 330-yard effort through the air, while throwing two touchdown passes and running for the game-winning score. Running back Chris Thompson hauled in his second receiving touchdown in three weeks, while racking up 138 all-purpose yards. Washington dropped to 5-5 ATS in its last 10 games in the favorite role, including 0-3 ATS in its past three as a favorite at FedEx Field.

The class of the NFC currently resides in Philadelphia as the Eagles (5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS) won their fourth straight game, 28-23 at Carolina. The Eagles overcame a 10-3 deficit led by a pair of touchdown strikes from Carson Wentz to tight end Zach Ertz to take an 18-10 halftime advantage. Wentz hooked up with Nelson Agholor on a 24-yard connection to start the fourth quarter to give Philadelphia a commanding 28-16 cushion as the Eagles held on for the five-point win.

Philadelphia covered as three-point underdogs, while Wentz delivered multi-touchdown passes for the fourth time this season. The 222-yard effort was the second-lowest total for Wentz throwing this season, but the Eagles improved to 3-1 away from Lincoln Financial Field after winning only one road game last season.

LINCING IT UP

Since Wentz took over as quarterback of the Eagles in 2016, Philadelphia owns an 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS at Lincoln Financial Field, including a 2-0 SU and 1-1 ATS record this season. The Eagles have compiled a 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS mark as a home favorite in this span, as the only loss in this role came to the Packers in Week 12 last season. The offense topped the 27-point mark in both home wins this season over the Giants and Cardinals, while finished UNDER the total in seven of the past 10 home contests.

HIGHWAY BARKERS

Under Jay Gruden, the Redskins have profited the last few seasons in the role of a road underdog. Since December 2015, Washington has put together a solid 8-2 ATS and 6-3-1 SU record in the past 10 when receiving points away from FedEx Field. One of those SU/ATS losses came at Kansas City in the late burn of a 29-20 defeat in Week 4. After the Chiefs took a 23-20 lead with four seconds remaining as 6 ½-point favorites, Kansas City recovered a fumble on the final play of the game and returned it for a score to break the heart of Washington backers.

PREVIOUS MEETING

The Redskins won five consecutive matchups with the Eagles from 2014 through last season. However, the Eagles snapped that skid with a 30-17 triumph in this season’s opener at FedEx Field as two-point favorites. Philadelphia jumped out to a 13-0 lead behind a pair of touchdown passes by Wentz before Washington scored 14 unanswered points. Caleb Sturgis knocked down three field goals to give Philadelphia a 22-17 advantage before a late Fletcher Cox fumble return for a score put the game out of reach. Wentz began his second season with a solid 307 yard, two-touchdown performance, while Ertz and Agholor combined for 14 catches and 179 yards.

Washington has won each of its past two visits to Lincoln Financial Field, including a 27-22 victory as two-point favorites last December. Thompson scored the go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes remaining to off-set 314 yards throwing from Wentz. Cousins only threw for 234 yards, but led Washington on a pair of touchdown drives in the third quarter to erase a 13-7 deficit.

UNDER THE LIGHTS

Since 2013, the Eagles have put together a solid 5-2 SU/ATS record in Monday night action, including a split in Wentz’s rookie campaign. Philadelphia has won two of its past three home Monday nighters, but dropped a 14-point decision to Green Bay last season.

Washington is notoriously horrible on Mondays by posting a putrid 2-12 SU and 3-11 ATS record since 2008, including the Week 4 setback at Kansas City. Ten of those losses came at home, while the only road victory in this stretch came at Dallas as a nine-point underdog, 20-17 in 2014.

Favorites have dominated on Mondays this season by going 6-1 SU and 4-2-1 ATS record, as the only underdog to win outright is the Lions back in Week 2 against the Giants. The OVER has hit in four of seven Monday games, while the OVER is 11-8 in primetime action heading into Week 7.

HANDICAPPER’S CORNER

VegasInsider.com expert Joe Nelson points out that Philadelphia’s defense has helped lift them to a 5-1 mark, but teams have thrown on Doug Pederson’s squad, “The Eagles are ninth in the NFL in scoring defense, but 20th in the league in total defense with great run defense numbers but vulnerability against the pass, surrendering 273 passing yards per game, fourth most in the league. Philadelphia’s only loss came to a now 5-2 Chiefs team on the road in a competitive game, but four of five wins came in very close games including narrowly beating Giants and Chargers teams that are a combined 3-9.”

Nelson says this game will go far in determining the NFC East champion, “With the Giants likely already out of the running and Dallas on pace to fall far off last season’s pace, this game will play a huge role in deciding the NFC East champion. Philadelphia could grab a significant division lead with a win this week while securing a key tiebreaker with a series sweep and a 3-0 start in division play. The Eagles have the 0-6 49ers up next on the schedule for a great opportunity to emerge as the clear NFC leader at the midpoint of the season.”

From a trend standpoint, Vince Akins points out a system that favors the OVER as it relates to Cousins, “The Redskins are 12-0 OU since Nov 15, 2015 coming off a game where Kirk Cousins threw at least 35 passes.” Washington barely cashed the OVER in its only opportunity in this spot in Week 2 at Los Angeles, while the Redskins own a solid 9-2-1 SU and 10-2 ATS record in this position.

BOOKMAKER’S TAKE

Scott Cooley of BookMaker.eu says the public is all over the Eagles on Monday, “They always have a big public following, and MNF will command much of it. Right now, the square wagers are weighted toward the Philly side 80-20. That said, the early sharp action came on Washington. We do have smart money on both sides, and it wouldn't surprise me if they are on the Eagles when it's all said and done as well.”

Phoenix is 0-3 with two 40-point losses (under 2-1); they’re a mess.

Inside the Paint - Monday

Monday’s NBA slate has eight games on tap and seven of the matchups will likely have the home squad close as a favorite. No overnight line was posted on the Golden State-Dallas matchup due to the possible suspension of Warriors point guard Stephen Curry. With or without the All-Star, the Mavericks will be healthy home underdogs for this game. Also, the Atlanta-Miami game didn’t open due to key injuries for both clubs.

Opening Week Notes

The Phoenix Suns fired head coach Earl Watson on Sunday after the team started 0-3 both straight up and against the spread behind a defense that has allowed 128.7 points per game. Oddsmakers at BookMaker.eu offered up a “First Coach Fired” prop and they didn’t even have Watson listed as a contender, which put him in the Field Odds at 4/1.

The firing led to Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe posting a Tweet – “I Don’t wanna be here.” Bledsoe only has one year left on his deal and he’s cheap by NBA standards but the loss of Brandon Knight to injury this summer might make it tough to deal him.

Along with the Suns, the 76ers, Mavericks sit at 0-3 while the Bulls and Knicks are also winless at 0-2. If you read my NBA pieces on VegasInsider.com, you’ll probably read the phrase “Make or Miss” league. It’s early but the Suns (39.7%) are the worst shooting team in the league while the Bulls (39.8%), Mavs (40.8%) and 76ers (41%) are next in line.

New York hasn’t been as bad but if continues to blow 21-point leads like it did last Saturday at home to Detroit, then head coach Jeff Hornacek might be joining Watson for an early vacation.

Ten teams are attempting more than 30 field goals a game from 3-point land and there are another three just below at 29. Last season, only six averaged more than 30 and just two teams did so in the 2015-16.

If those numbers don’t turn your head then check out this one on New Orleans forward DeMarcus Cousins. The All-Star ‘big man’ is leading the Pelicans with 7.7 three-pointers taken per game.

If you’ve been backing the both Cleveland (1-2 ATS) and Golden State (0-3 ATS) early this season, please accept my apologies. Since the public is attracted to these clubs, the numbers are always going to be inflated.

The Las Vegas Westgate SuperBook had Giannis Antetokounmpo listed at 7/1 odds to win the NBA regular season MVP before the season tipped off. I would expect an adjustment after watching him post 38.3 PPG, 9.7 rebounds and five assists.

As far as rookies go, Lonzo Ball (8.7 APG) and Ben Simmons (6 APG) can certainly dish the ball, but neither shoot from the outside with confidence. The kid Dillon Brooks on Memphis has looked sharp and De’Aaron Fox on Sacramento reminds me of John Wall, just a couple notches slower but so is everybody else.

Game of the Night – Toronto at San Antonio

We’re almost one week into the regular season and only six of the 30 teams in the league remain undefeated, which includes the two clubs squaring off in this matchup.

The Spurs opened as 2½-point home favorites and I still think the rating on them is a tad low, even with All-Star Kawhi Leonard (quad) and point guard Tony Parker (quad) still sidelined.

San Antonio has opened 2-0 (1-0-1 ATS) and its winning with defense, ranked first in scoring with 88 PPG. LaMarcus Aldridge just inked a new extension and he’s already notched a pair of double-doubles in those wins.

This will be the first road test of the season for Toronto (2-0 SU, 2-0 ATS) who opened with a pair of wire-to-wire victories at home albeit against the Bulls and 76ers. The ‘over’ connected in both those games and Toronto is currently ranked second in scoring (122.5 PPG).

After this game, the Raptors head to Golden State on Wednesday before meeting the Lakers at the Staples Center on Friday. The six-game road trip, the longest of the season, will finish after stops in Portland, Denver and Utah. Fortunately for Toronto, it plays in the Atlantic Division.

San Antonio swept Toronto last season and that’s been a common theme in this series. Including those wins, the Spurs have won 11 of the previous 13 matchups against the Raptors. Make a note that Toronto has not won at San Antonio since 2007 and is 0-8 SU and 2-5-1 ATS in its last eight trips to the AT&T Center.

Head-to-Head Trends & Notes

The Pistons have gone 6-1 both SU and ATS against the 76ers the last two seasons and every outcome during this span was decided by double digits. Detroit has started the season 3-0 versus the number.

The Heat have covered seven straight games (5-2 SU) against the Hawks. Miami won without Hassan Whiteside (knee) on Saturday and he’s ‘doubtful’ for this game. Atlanta point guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is ‘doubtful’ as well.

Houston has won and covered four of the last six meetings against the Grizzlies, which includes a 2-1 mark at the Toyota Center. This will be the first road game for Memphis.

The Warriors have won six straight and 13 of the last 14 against the Mavericks. The club has gone 10-4 ATS during this run. Dallas rookie Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) sat out the last two games and could skip this contest as well.

Washington swept the season series last season and in the 2014-15 campaign but Denver captured both wins in 2016. Will the Nuggets keep the trend rolling and win Monday? I thought this line would be closer to pick ‘em knowing John Wall and Bradley Beal should play well against the youngsters in Denver’s backcourt. However, Washington wasn’t great on the road last season (19-21) and it will be difficult to run with the Nuggets, who are much deeper.

The Kings won and covered three of four against the Suns last season and are an eye opening 8-2 both SU and ATS in the last 10 games in this series. Sacramento should do better offensively against the Phoenix defense but with all the aforementioned factors going on, I’d tread lightly on this game.

Total Notes

The Hawks and Heat are 8-2 to the ‘under’ in the last 10 meetings.

Philadelphia has allowed 120 and 128 in two road games, both ‘over’ winners. Early movement pushed tonight’s number at Detroit from 213 to 214.

Memphis and Houston have seen the ‘over’ go 4-2 in their last six encounters.

Washington and Denver are looking at the highest total posted on Tuesday with an opener of 223. The Wizards have gone ‘over’ in their first two games while the Nuggets are 2-0 to the ‘under.’ Denver has played a pair of teams (Utah, Sacramento) that don’t exactly play fast and neither are juggernauts.

The Kings and Suns had three totals listed between 218 and 219 last season and Monday’s opener of 211 has been steamed down to 209½ at a few books this morning.

NBA Pick 'n' Roll: Monday's Picks and Analysis

Yesterday’s picks: 1-1
Season record: 5-7

The Phoenix Suns are 0-3 straight up and against the spread this season. Starting point guard Eric Bledsoe tweeted out his frustrations and head coach Earl Watson was fired shortly afterward.
Photo By - USA Today Images

We're two games under .500 for the season with our daily NBA picks and in desperate need of a 2-0 day. Is today that day? Our fingers are crossed and we're working on the toes but crossing your toes isn't as easy as it sounds.

Sacramento Kings at Phoenix Suns (-1.5, 209.5)

The sun has set on the Earl Watson era in Phoenix. The Suns fired their head coach and appointed longtime NBA assistant coach Jay Triano as the interim head coach. It’s believed Triano will coach the team for the rest of the season.

Watson didn’t prove to be anything special as a sideline boss since replacing Jeff Hornacek as the Suns HC back in February 2016. The Suns went 33-85 straight up and 58-56-1 against the spread with Watson in command.

Then again, it’s not like there has been much talent for Watson to coach. Phoenix is on the treadmill of being two years away from being two years away from contending. The Suns rested starters Eric Bledsoe and Tyson Chandler regularly during the last 30 games of last season and Bledsoe tweeted out “I Dont wanna be here” late afternoon on Sunday.

Pick: Kings +1.5

Memphis Grizzlies at Houston Rockets (-7.5, 211.5)

The Grizz lost the heart and soul of the team slogan grit ‘n’ grind when Zach Randolph and Tony Allen left as free agents and they’re down three players (Wayne Seldon, Ben McLemore and JaMychal Green) who figured to pick up major minutes with Randolph and Allen’s departures.

But Memphis is 2-0 SU and ATS two games into the new season and its bench is the chief reason despite the missing bodies. The Grizzlies second unit is outscoring opposing benches by 30 points a night – the top bench point differential in the league.

Houston traded most of its best role players to the Clippers to acquire Chris Paul and now the All-Star point guard is expected to miss the first month of the season.

Pick: Grizzlies +7.5

Total Streaks

*There are five teams with perfect over records so far this season: Detroit, Toronto, Washington, Milwaukee and Miami. All five teams play Monday night with the lowest total at 203.5 in the Hornets-Bucks game at Milwaukee.

*There are four teams remaining with perfect under records so far this season: Charlotte, Denver, Sacramento and Memphis. All four teams play Monday night with the highest total listed at 222.5 in the Wizards-Nuggets contest at Denver.

Injury To Note

The uncertain health of Dennis Schroder is the reason the Hawks-Heat line was off the board this morning. Schroder, Atlanta’s starting point guard and leading scorer, had to be helped off the court because of an ankle injury against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. The German native is not expected to play at Miami on Monday.

Top Trends

*The Hawks are 0-7 ATS in their last seven games against the Heat.
*The Kings are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games against the Suns.
*The Hornets are 0-4 ATS in their last four road games and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall.
*The Wizards are 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall.

Ref Assignment To Watch

The under is a combined 6-0 for the members of the crew calling the Sixers-Pistons game.

The over is a combined 5-0 for the members of the crew calling the Grizzlies-Rockets matchup.

Consensus

Bettors like the Spurs to cover against the visiting Raptors. Around 64 percent of consensus players have San Antonio covering as 3-point home chalk.

Monday's Best NBA Bet

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Houston Rockets

Odds
- Sportsbetting.ag: Houston (-7.5); Total 213

Tonight we've got a battle in Houston between the two teams that have already knocked off the defending champs from Golden State this year. Houston squeaked out a 122-121 win over the Warriors on opening night, while Memphis was able to beat Golden State 111-101 on Saturday night behind Marc Gasol's 34-point effort. The new-look Grizzlies are now 2-0 SU and ATS on the year, but tonight's game is their first venture away from home, and dealing with a second championship favorite in three nights isn't exactly the best spot for them.

Houston is a perfect 3-0 SU themselves so far this year, but they have failed to cover the point spread once. That ATS loss came 24 hours after beating Golden State with a 105-100 win in Sacramento as 7-point favorites. That was unquestionably a bit of a letdown spot for Houston – especially after finding out Chris Paul would be on the shelf for a few weeks – but they were able to “survive and advance” with the W. Houston followed that performance up with a 16-point win over Dallas on Saturday night and would love to push their record to 4-0 SU before heading out on the road for five of their next six games.

The Grizzlies organization decided to go younger and more athletic this off-season as they try to embrace the offensive style today's NBA has now become. Memphis has put up 100+ in both games so far – a rarity for this organization in recent memory, but they've still showcased sound defensive fundamentals in both of their wins. They were up 17 on Golden State going into the 4th quarter on Saturday and it was that defense that was able to hold off any push from the Warriors coming down the stretch.

Not only is Memphis 2-0 ATS this year, but they are also a perfect 2-0 to the 'under' in 2017 and it will be interesting to see the meshing and growth of the Grizzlies desire to keep their defensive characteristics while also pushing the pace at times offensively. It will likely be the latter that becomes more important tonight against a Houston team who's on their own floor and loves to shoot in seven seconds or less.

However, this is simply a brutal spot for the Grizzlies after unleashing their best “shot” against the Warriors over the weekend. They at least got a day off in-between games in comparison to Houston's next contest after their best “shot” in beating Golden State, but the situation is nearly the same outside of that. There is little chance that Memphis brings the same sort of execution to the mix tonight, especially with this being their first trip to hostile territory this season. Even with it being this early in the season, a two-game stretch against Golden State and Houston is going to be tough to handle for any team, let alone play their best both times.

With the entire NBA knowing how big of a juggernaut Golden State is looking to be, I have no problem fading any team the next time out after beating – likely in upset fashion – the Warriors outright all year long. I did it last week in that Houston/Sacramento game that turned out to be a winner, and I'll be doing it again tonight with Memphis the ones being faded this time around.

Houston will not be taking this game lightly at all after watching the film of what Memphis did to the Warriors on Saturday, and with Houston more comfortable in their identity of being an uptempo team that loves to run teams into the ground, I don't believe Memphis can keep up for the full 48 minutes tonight.

If the Rockets don't already have a double-digit lead entering the 4th this evening, they'll look to pull away early on in that final frame for what should be a 10+ point victory.

Best Bet: Houston -7.5
