Las Vegas - Gonna dribble on to the NBA hardwood and grab the Nets +2.5 points over the 76ers. Yea, Philly is 6-1 and leading the NBA Atlantic Division, but lets dig a little deeper into that 6-1. The Sixers opened with a pair of victories over a lousy Washington team (2-5) and a surprising, for now, New York team (4-3). Then they lost to Cleveland before ripping off four in a row against the Raptors (1-5), Magic (5-2) and two Ws against the Hornets (2-5).

When you have the duo of Harry Kane and Son Hueng-min scorching hot, and the possible return of Dele Alli, you start to understand why Tottenham is -$210 over Brentford. The Bees play in West London, the Spurs in North London, so it's only a few stops on the Tube that separates the two teams.
Read MoreLas Vegas - Not interested in any hoops, but do like a game over in the Premier League. Gonna thrown down on Liverpool over Southampton. The Saints have had trouble scoring goals. Lemme rephrase that. Southampton has NOT scored a goal since December 16, eating three straight bagels against Manchester City, Fulham and West Ham.
