Saturday NBA Referee Stats

[Mendoza Line]

Two games today. Late afternoon start for the 1st one.

Oklahoma City at Memphis: (Mem -3 and 200, ESPN) Road dogs of fewer than 5 points are a strong 8-1 ATS with Ken Mauer this season. OKC is 3-0-1 ATS with Mauer this year, including 2-0 ATS on the road. Memphis has done pretty well with Mauer, going 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 with him, but only one of those was at home, a SU & ATS win against the Wizards. They were road dogs in the other games. Mostly neutral general trends with the totals for this crew, but Memphis tends to go over at home with them. Memphis is 8-2 over/under with ref Mike Callahan, including 7-1 o/u at home. Pat Fraher is 43-28 o/u overall this season, and Memphis is 4-0 o/u in their last 4 with him. Memphis is 4-2 o/u in their last 6 with Mauer, including an over in the only home game with him.

Miami at Boston: (Bos -3 and 183, ABC) Road dogs are very strong with ref Bill Kennedy, going 13-4 ATS when getting fewer than 5 points. Miami hasn't been a road dog with him in more than two year. Boston is 1-3 ATS as a home fave with Kennedy. Just a slight lean to the road dogs in general with the other two refs. Road teams getting fewer than 5 points are 5-4 ATS with Bob Delaney and 8-6 ATS with Steve Javie this season. Conflicting trends on the total with these refs. Nothing stands out with Delaney, Javie leans a little to the under with these teams, and Kennedy leans a little to the over with both Miami and Boston. All of those leans are in line with each refs over-under record in general.
