Knicks -4

The Knicks and Pistons square off in a showdown of two of the top teams in the East. New York typically comes out the aggressor when playing good teams and this game should be no different. The Knicks have one of the best offenses in the East at 118 ppg and they put up 138 on a good 76ers team right before the break. This will be a statement game for them as they’ll want to make it known they’re still the team to beat in the East. 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. Thursday's FREE selection is a strong lean on the KNICKS ATS. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

ASA NBA play on Chicago Bulls +5.5 vs. Toronto Raptors, 8pm ET - The value in the number is too great to ignore so we’ll grab the Bulls at home plus the points. These two teams met shortly before the All-Star break on February 5th with the Raptors favored by -7.5-points at home. Now they are laying nearly that same number on the road. Chicago has been solid at home with a 15-12 SU record overall, 8-5 ATS as a home dog. On the season the Bulls have an average point differential at home of minus -1.5ppg which clearly gets us a cover here. The Raptors boast a 16-10 SU, 15-11 ATS road record this season with an average MOV of +2.0ppg. When favored on the road the Raptors are just 5-6 ATS this season. Both teams have been very good in conference play since the start of the 2024 season with both teams hovering around 53%. The Bulls were active at the trade deadline, so they have several new faces on the roster. With the added time off and practice time they should be better prepared moving forward. Chicago had won and covered 4 of the last five meetings prior to the most recent game in Toronto. We expect the Bulls to stay with in the number in this one.

Recommended Bet: Dinamo Zagreb +110

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.

- Appalachian State is 7-1 SU in its last 8 games.

- Appalachian State is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games at home.

- Appalachian State is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games against an opponent in the Sun Belt conference.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports in MLS. Take LA Galaxy over NYCFC (7 p.m. EST, Sunday, February 22) Last year the Galaxy were fresh of their MLS Cup win and expectations were high, but they got off to a historically bad start, winless in their first 16 games, and the season was over before it started. A lot of this had to do with injuries, especially to Ricard Puig, the Galaxy’s best player. He was really central to a lot of what the Galaxy wanted to do, and his absence created lots of problems for the side. Puig had offseason surgery, and is out again for the season, but the Galaxy have solidified the team in his absence. Young players got a lot of experience last season when they might have not otherwise had the opportunity, and they made some nice signings in the offseason. Last season is a thing of the past, and this team is back to where it wants to be as a Cup contender and a very likely playoff side at the very least. They are underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, and we will take advantage of the value here with this plus-money line. The Galaxy have won the last two meetings at home vs NYCFC, and we see this one as a low scoring match but we think the Galaxy will find a way to win. There hasn’t been a draw in seven meetings and we don’t envision one here. After last season, we think there will be an emphasis on a strong start, and home pitch will propel the Galaxy to three points.

The NBA Comp play for Thursday at 10 eastern is on Boston. The Celtics are in a nice and Simple system here tonight that is 5-0 for road favorites with more than 6 days rest if off a home win and are taking on a non conference team like Golden St. The Celtics pasted the Warriors by 40 the last time they were here and have quietly won 7 of 8 prior to the break. The Warriors have dropped 5 of the last 7 and tend to struggle vs good teams, even at home where they have failed to cover 9 of the last 12. Look for the Celtics to cover. GL Rob V-

Thursday CBB Free play. My selection is on Memphis plus the points over South Florida at 7 pm et on Thursday.

I don't think there's as much separating these two teams as their overall records (or the pointspread) indicates on Thursday. Memphis has been a disappointment so far this season and certainly owns the inferior overall record in this matchup. With that being said, the Tigers have faced a very difficult schedule - more difficult than that of South Florida. Memphis has had four full days to stew over its second straight loss - a blowout defeat on the road against a good Utah State team on Saturday. I'm confident we'll see the Tigers bounce back with a better performance here. South Florida on the other hand has had a few days to pat itself on the back after notching its fourth straight win, that coming in overtime against Florida Atlantic on Sunday. The Bulls haven't exactly been shooting the lights out, connecting on 25 or fewer field goals in three of their last five contests. I look for the Tigers to at the very least take this one down to the wire. Take Memphis.

Celtics vs Warriors NBA Free Pick

The Angle(s): Golden State expects to see Kristaps Porzingis suit up as a Warrior for the first time tonight. While I think Porzingis will be a great fit, with two-time MVP Stephen Curry out I don't think the Warriors got what it takes to keep up with a Celtics team 6-3 against the spread as road favorites laying five points or more.

Add the Warriors 1-3 record against the spread as home underdogs, and I think we have a solid case for the Celtics.

The Bet: CELTICS
