Free Play – Take #515 Boston -5.5 over Golden State (10:10 p.m. ET, Thursday, Feb. 19)

The surprising Boston Celtics, sitting second in the Eastern Conference without Jayson Tatum, start the second half on a four-game road trip to the West Coast, beginning with a 2022 NBA Finals rematch against the Golden State tonight. The Celtics closed the first half by winning six of seven. Conversely, Golden State sputtered into the break by losing seven of 11 games. Steph Curry is out, so is Jimmy Butler and Jonathan Kuminga is an Atlanta Hawk. Most experts are shocked Boston is 35-19, in what was supposed to be a throw-away season. Jaylen Brown deserves consideration for MVP with the season he has had so far, and Derrick White and Payton Pritchard have also keyed this unexpected season. Golden State’s top three scorers are either out or no longer on the team. Dating back to last season, the Cs are 17-3 SU on the road in the second half of the season, most importantly for us, winning by an average of 10.3 PPG.

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.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Eastern Washington -2

The Key: Eastern Washington is rolling going 4-0 SU in its last 4 games and 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games.  The Eagles have remained remarkably healthy and are coming off an 18-point win over Weber State.  They already beat Sacramento State 75-67 at home as 6.5-point favorites in their first matchup this year.  Sacramento State is 0-3 SU & 1-2 ATS in its last 3 games overall.  The Hornets have been without their 2nd-leading scorer in Mikey Williams (17.1 PPG) for their last 2 games and he is questionable to return tonight.  They were already without 3rd-leading scorer Jeremiah Cherry (15.5 PPG) likely for the season.  Take Eastern Washington.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Hawaii -11

Hawaii has the best home-court advantage in the Big West.  The Rainbow Warriors are 14-1 at home this season.  They host a Cal Poly team that they already beat by 20 on the road in their first meeting this season.  The Mustangs are getting a lot of love after covering five of their last six games overall, while the Rainbow Warriors are coming off their worst loss of the season at CS-Northridge.  They should be bigger favorites at home tonight in this bounce back spot against a team they already blasted by 20.  Give me Hawaii.

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-

Our selection is on the Sacramento State Hornets to cover the spread against the Eastern Washington Eagles on Thursday at 10:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Eastern Washington is 9-17 this year and just 3-16 over it's L19 games on the road since last season.

On a heater though, EWU has won four straight games and has covered the spread in five in a row.

But, the Eagles are just 2-5 against the spread over their L7 games played as a road favorite.

Sacramento State has also been playing a lot better lately, covering against the spread in seven of the L10.

The Hornets have also covered versus the spread in six straight home games.

We're on SAC State.

AAA Sports

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

SENSATIONAL 13-3 (81%) basketball run! Mike has a Thursday multi-pick-pack which gives you access to three hoops winners (1 CBB, 2 NBA) with BE$T PLAY of the Day releases from both sports. Mike is seeing the board clearly, and you simply can't afford to miss more winners!
