It’s the first of April and this is no joke, the New Jersey Nets and Phoenix Suns are nearly finished when it comes to playoff talk. Each is four games behind the current eighth place team in their respective conference and even if each wins their remaining eight games, it would probably not be enough. Well, you can’t win eight without winning the first one, and tonight, both teams play at home. The Suns specifically are in a tough spot, hosting Houston and going up against a reliable betting system. Be sure to consider this system before unloading your wagers on the game.
New Jersey’s idea of playoff push has ended being like reputed mobster Jim Hoffa, dead and buried. The Nets (30-44, 37-36-1 ATS) have lost five in a row and nine of last 11 (3-8 ATS). The last loss on Monday was the most mortifying, being slammed by Milwaukee at home 107-78, a team they have owned, who had lost 10 of last 12. Leave it to the wise one to explain New Jersey’s problems.
“We have too many guys on this team who believe in what we have,” Vince Carter said. “I don’t think this team has given up. We just have to change our approach.” Ah Vince, it might be a little late for that, seeing your team is 4-14 ATS in home games when playing their third game in four days since last season.
Even as bad as Detroit is playing having lost seven out of 10, the oddsmakers at Sportsbook.com have them as only one-point underdogs in the New Jersey Meadowlands.
The Phoenix Suns (40-34, 31-42-1 ATS) had set their sights on being a game or two behind Dallas when they meet Sunday, instead the setting Suns might be playing official elimination encounter after losing three straight on the road.
Phoenix likely had its tipping point, losing at Sacramento 126-118 as six-point road favorites, allowing the Kings to shoot 51.6 percent on Monday. Of course there is always a reason.
“There’s some emotional hangover (from an overtime loss in Utah) and we’re tired, but we’ve still got to dig down and find a way to get it done,” Suns point guard Steve Nash said. “No disrespect for that young team, but we weren’t playing the Lakers or the Celtics. We laid an egg, it was very frustrating.” That’s a great explanation, if you would have played a better team, you might have tried harder even though your season is and was in the balance.
Phoenix returns home to face Houston, who has caught San Antonio for first place in the Southwest Division and has won five of six. The Rockets are 1.5-point underdog for this contest.
This leads to a very profitable system with the turn of the calendar that reads this way.
Play Against home teams where the line is +3 to -3, after three or more consecutive losses, in April games.
This NBA April system has been around since 2005 and is 26-6 ATS, 81.2 percent. The point spread has not been a large component with straight up winner 25-7, winning by an average 6.3 points per game.
If you are looking to play a joke, do it on the oddsmakers playing against two bumbling home teams.
