No worries, roundball bettors, thanks to this eye-opening breakdown, you’re going to improve your chances of cashing in early and often over the course of the coming week.

With that said and the 2015-16 NBA season rolling right along, let’s get started.

Red-Hot ATS NBA Teams
Each of these teams has covered the NBA betting line in at least four of their last five games.Orlando Magic 5-0 ATS
The Magic have won two straight and three of their last five games while covering the spread in each game along the way. More importantly, the Magic have a boatload of young talent, starting with guards Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton and including swingman guard Tobias Harris and big man Nikola Vucevic.Indiana Pacers 4-1 ATS
Sure, the Pacers are allowing more points per game (97.6) than they are averaging (94.1), but Paul George and company have won three of their last five while covering the spread in four straight, including Sunday’s narrow loss against Cleveland.Atlanta Hawks 4-1 ATS
The Hawks didn’t get a whole lot of love in the offseason, but they’ve picked up right where they left off last season, winning each of their last five games while going 4-0-1 ATS along the way. Atlanta shares the ball as well as any team in the league and has gotten some fantastic contributions from veteran small forward Ken Bazemore who has replaced the departed DeMarre Carroll seamlessly.Utah Jazz 4-1 ATS
The young Jazz have won two straight and four of five while covering the spread in each SU victory. Of course, the Jazz haven’t exactly beaten a ‘murderer’s row’ of opponents in taking out Philly, Indiana and Denver, though their 89-79 win over Memphis on Saturday was an eye-opener.San Antonio Spurs 4-1 ATS
The addition of LaMarcus Aldridge and continued improvement of gifted two-way small forward Kawhi Leonard have helped the Spurs win four of five while covering the spread in each SU win. San Antonio ranks third in points allowed (92.3) and a respectable 16th in scoring (101.7 ppg).Detroit Pistons 4-1 ATS
The rebuilding Pistons have gotten a pair of 25-25 outings from center Andre Drummond and some more eye-opening play from underrated point guard Reggie Jackson to win two straight and four of their last five while covering the spread in each SU victory.
