Spurs at Hawks
San Antonio: 32-10 SU, 21-21 ATS
Atlanta: 22-19 SU, 22-19 ATS
The Spurs play 12 of their next 14 games on the road, as the annual "Rodeo Trip" begins in a week. San Antonio hits the highway for a three-game swing starting Friday in Atlanta, as the Spurs closed out their four-game homestand with their third loss of the season to the Thunder on Wednesday. Gregg Popovich's team has won nine of their past 10 contests away from the Alamo dating back to Thanksgiving, while posting a 6-3 ATS record as a road favorite in this span.
The Hawks held off the Magic on Wednesday, 112-109, as Atlanta failed to cash as 5½-point road favorites. However, Atlanta has thrived in the role of a home favorite of late, putting together a 6-1 ATS record, which includes outright wins this month over Miami, Indiana, and Houston. The Hawks are playing with revenge after dropping a two-point decision at the AT&T Center in early December, 102-100, but Atlanta did cash as 12-point 'dogs.
Clippers at Bulls
Los Angeles: 29-15 SU, 25-19 ATS
Chicago: 21-20 SU, 19-22 ATS
The Clippers are coming off their lowest-scoring output this month in Wednesday's 96-91 defeat at Charlotte, only the third loss in 11 games during January. Los Angeles continues its seven-game road swing at the United Center, as the Clips are 5-2 SU and 7-0 ATS on the highway off an away loss this season. Doc Rivers' club looks for the season sweep after L.A. drilled Chicago at Staples Center, 121-82 back in late November.
The Bulls have woken up this month with a 9-2 record to forge above the .500 mark, while winning each of their last three games. Chicago beat Cleveland for the third time this season on Wednesday, 98-87 to cash as 4½-point underdogs. Carlos Boozer missed that victory with a calf injury, as the power forward is listed as questionable for Friday's contest. The Bulls are starting to reclaim their home-court advantage with seven wins in the last 10 games in the Windy City, while compiling a 6-1 ATS record the past seven games in the underdog role.
Pacers at Kings
Indiana: 33-8 SU, 28-13 ATS
Sacramento: 15-26 SU, 18-22-1 ATS
The Kings concluded a six-game road swing winning just twice, while suffering two losses to their two best players. Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins each got injured in Wednesday's 119-98 setback at Houston, the first loss to the Rockets this season in three tries. Gay is out for three-to-five days with an Achilles' injury, while Cousins is doubtful on Friday with an ankle sprain. Sacramento has covered six straight home games in the underdog role since the start of December, including outright victories over the Blazers, Heat, and Rockets in this stretch.
The Pacers started their West Coast trip with an impressive performance at Golden State, but Indiana was tripped up in Wednesday's 24-point loss at Phoenix. Frank Vogel's squad dominated Sacramento 10 days ago at home, 116-92 as 10 ½-point favorites, while the Pacers have covered five of their last six games. Indiana owns a perfect 6-0 SU/ATS off a road loss this season, while going 'under' five times with the lone 'over' needing overtime at New York back in November.
Wolves at Warriors
Minnesota: 20-21 SU, 22-19 ATS
Golden State: 26-17 SU, 19-22-2 ATS
The Warriors have dominated the Wolves over the last few seasons, winning seven straight meetings, including a 106-93 triumph at the Target Center in early November. However, since Golden State won 10 straight games, Mark Jackson's club has lost four of their last six contests. In this stretch, the Warriors have cashed just once, coming in a 97-87 victory at New Orleans last Saturday.
Minnesota pulled off a home-and-home sweep over beat-up Utah to creep within one game of the .500 mark. The Wolves are just 2-7 the last nine games off a victory, while putting up a 1-9 SU and 5-5 ATS this season as a road underdog. Rick Adelman's team has lost all five games in the revenge role this season, while putting up a 1-8 record against the Warriors, Clippers, Spurs, and Thunder.
