Ricky's 1* play on VGK.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Vegas is 12-2 SU in its last 14 games when playing at home against Calgary.

- Calgary is 2-5 SU in its last 7 games against Vegas.

- Calgary is 1-7 SU in its last 8 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Play on: UNDER 140 -110
Game Analysis

UNDER 140

UCONN and Illinois meet in the Final 4 and the under is worth a move. UConn’s defense has been a difference maker all season and especially in the tournament. They shut down shooters and they’re one of the best defensive rebounding teams. They’re going to set the tone earlier and force Illinois into a much slower game than they’d like. This is going to be a half court type of game with both teams slowing the tempo down. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the UNDER 140. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Game Analysis

For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday in college basketball I am looking at the Auburn Tigers and the Illinois State Red Birds. Auburn one of the most talented teams in the SEC just could not put it together this season but they should be able to blow out this Illinois State team. Auburn has not covered 4 straight and 8 of the last 10 games and on the opposite end the Red Birds have been a money maker for bettors going 5-1 last 6 ATS.  Look for Auburn to be down at the half but storm back and get a blow out win and a cover for us.

Play on Auburn minus the points rotation #644 -6.5

Game Analysis

1* Free Pick on Auburn -6½

Auburn is simply too fast and too physical for Illinois State to handle for 40 minutes.
The Tigers rank in the top 20 nationally in defensive turnover percentage and they hunt for steals on every possession.

Illinois State struggles against high-pressure guards and coughs the ball up way too often.
You cannot give a Bruce Pearl team extra possessions and expect to stay within the number.

Auburn is elite at turning those live-ball turnovers into easy transition dunks.
The Tigers also hold a massive advantage when it comes to the offensive glass.

They rank in the top tier of college basketball in offensive rebounding rate and second-chance points.
Illinois State does not have the size or the bench depth to battle in the paint all night.

The Redbirds rely far too much on the three-point shot to keep their offense moving.
Auburn’s perimeter defense is lockdown and contests every single look beyond the arc.

The Tigers are holding opponents to under 31% from deep over their last five games.
If those shots aren't falling early, Illinois State is going to be in a massive hole.

Illinois State is also coming off a high-intensity matchup earlier this week.
Legs get heavy in the second half when you are chasing a team that plays this fast.

Auburn is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against non-conference opponents for a reason.
They do not just win these games; they pull away late and cover the spread.

The Tigers are also 4-1 ATS this season when favored by single digits.
They know how to close out games and they make their free throws when it counts.

This line is only this low because of one lucky win by the Redbirds last week.
The market is overreacting to a single performance instead of looking at the season-long metrics.

Auburn has the edge in effective field goal percentage and defensive efficiency.
Expect the Tigers to pull away late in the second half as the fatigue sets in for the underdog.

The depth of this Auburn roster is the real difference-maker here.
Their bench minutes are just as productive as their starters, and that wears teams out.

I like the Auburn -6.5.

Illinois State vs Auburn 9:30 ET

Tigers (-) over Red Birds- Oh, I would love to take the Red Birds here. I would venture to say that Illinois State will have an easier time attracting fans, students and alumni to Indianapolis than Tigers fans. Fans from Alabama who saw the Tigers claw toward a nation championship in recent years will find this is a huge step down, and I don’t  see many Auburn fans ma]king the trip. That being said and this season the mid-conference stand out clubs have struggled aaginst a Big-5 power team…they haven ‘t been competitive during regular season or now in tournaments, The Red Birds roll in off three impressive NIT wins starting at home 79-58 over Kent and then taking to the road defeating Wake Forest 87-75 as a dog of 7.7-ponts and upsetting Dayton 61-55 ,once again as a -7.5 underdog. Auburn as the top seed had three home wins over San Antonio, Seattle and Nevada and were favored by  -8.5,-13.5,-17.5 (not exactly challenging opponents) and didn’t cover any one of them going 0-3 ATS. This isn’t a true road game for the Tigers but is isn’t home either. Take ILLINOIS STATE

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Sharks
Play on: UNDER 6½ -113
Game Analysis

My selection is on the 'under' between Toronto and San Jose at 10:05 pm et on Thursday.

The Maple Leafs rose to the occasion and delivered a 5-4 overtime win in Anaheim on Monday, marking their third victory in their last four games. They'll run into a red hot Sharks team on Thursday as San Jose notched its third straight victory with a come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Ducks last night. While Toronto did score five goals in Anaheim last time out, it averages only 2.9 goals per game on the road this season and much of that production came when it had a far more dangerous lineup than it does now. San Jose, while skilled offensively, hasn't had any sort of a bump production-wise from home ice. The only previous matchup between these non-conference foes this season produced just five total goals and needed overtime to get there. That was way back in mid-December and has been long-forgotten by most bettors. Take the under (8*).

I'm riding a RED HOT 49-29 run over the last two-plus weeks and I'm ready to keep it ROLLING into a big weekend that features Final Four action plus loaded slates in the NBA, NHL and MLB!

Game Analysis

David's Free Pick

We really like the underdog in this matchup. The Cavaliers are 9-17 ATS as underdogs on the road, and the wounded Warriors saw Seth Curry back in action with 12 points in 10 minutes off the bench in an ATS cover loss to the Spurs last time out.  While it's the "wrong" Curry, who among many others, is still missing, the Warriors are starting to figure out how to cope.

 This is a FREE PLAY on the WARRIROS.
