Free Play – Take #861 Duke -9.5 over N.C State (7:00 p.m. ET, Monday, Mar. 2)

No. 1 Duke has accomplished plenty the past couple of weeks and dives in for more Monday night in Raleigh, N.C. That's where the Blue Devils face North Carolina State. Already having secured the top seed for the ACC tournament, Duke can collect the outright regular-season league title with a road victory. The Wolfpack has lost four of five, with Saturday's OT loss at lowly Notre Dame likely the most painful. N.C. State relies on the three-ball, making 10 per game at 38.6%. However, Duke is outstanding in all facets of defense, including guarding the arc, holding teams to 30% from deep. Unless the home team shoots lights out, the Dukies should move to 15-3 ATS against ACC foes after a home win.

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.

- Eastern Washington is 8-0 SU in its last 8 games.

- Idaho is 3-8 SU in its last 11 games against Eastern Washington.

- Idaho is 0-5 SU in its last 5 games when playing on the road against Eastern Washington.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Monday’s FREE WINNER: Duke Blue Devils.

Game 861.

4:00 PM PST/7:00 PM EST.

Laying double-digits especially on the road in college basketball, is no small task. And I am aware (as of posting this play) more of the money is coming in on the home team. But Duke is a team historically that likes to go into the conference tournaments with momentum. They normally do not take their foot off the gas at the end of the season. They need one more victory to lock up the ACC title and only have two games remaining in the regular season. Following this matchup tonight, they go home to take on their archrival, North Carolina. NC State also needs this win. They currently sit in fifth place although five teams ahead of them right now, in the ACC at 10-6. They would love to finish in the top-four, and receive all the benefits that go along with that. That's not going to be easy, my friends. However, they do have a game remaining at home to end the regular season against Stanford. It is true, the Blue Devils have had their way with the Wolfpack, taking six of the last nine matchups straight up, covering four of those nine meetings. These two teams have yet to meet this season. However, Duke certainly comes in here with more momentum, winning six in a row and nine of their last 10 while NC State has struggled, dropping four of their last five SU. As a matter of fact, they've been pointspread poison, failing to cover six of their last seven coming into tonight's matchup. Both teams score about the same offensively, but the big difference here is on the defensive side of the court. Very few teams have lit up the scoreboard on the Blue Devils, as they rank fourth in the nation yielding just 64.7 PPG. That would be enough for me here. But at both ends of the court they are far superior on the boards which will give their offense more second-chance opportunities, while taking away their opponents second-chance opportunities. One more item my friends; NC State is deadly from downtown. However, they're going up against one of the best three-point shooting defenses in the nation. As I mentioned at the the start of this breakdown, I don't have a problem laying double-digits on the road with this team. Take Duke. Thank you.

1* Bet on Idaho State/CS Sacramento: under 161

This is a FREE PLAY on the Leafs.

The Flyers are 13-12-4 on the road, while the Leafs are 16-10-6 at home.

The Leafs are going to be risking life and limb tonight to try and avoid a four-game slide since the Olympic break, though, most recently falling 5-2 to Ottawa, and I expect this sense of desperation that they'll play with, to lead them to a solid victory here in this favorable matchup.

They already beat Philly 2-1 in OT back in January. The Flyers are off satisfying back-to-back victories and with two nights off before a home game vs. the Mammoth, I expect the visitors to come out complacent and flat-footed tonight.

Considering the circumstances, I absolutely believe TORONTO is worth a "second look" in this situation and at this price.

Good luck, NP

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Washington Wizards +15

The Washington Wizards showed some life in a 134-125 home loss to Toronto as 13.5-point dogs on Saturday.  They also beat the Pacers twice since the All-Star Break.  This number has been inflated due to the Wizards' perceived tanking.  Kyshawn George (14.8 PPG) will play tonight as well.

The Houston Rockets will be playing their 4th game in 6 days and their 3rd consecutive road game.  They are coming off a 115-105 loss in Miami on Saturday and could have a case of the 'Miami flu' after spending the night in South Beach.  I don't expect their best effort tonight in Washington.

The Rockets play so slow which makes it difficult for them to get margin.  They are 16-12 SU but 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games overall.  Just three of those 16 wins came by double-digits, so they have been very fortunate in close games.  Houston remains without Seven Adams, Jae'Sean Tate and Jabari Smith Jr. (15.5 PPG) as well.  Bet the Wizards Monday.

1* on Portland State -4.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Portland State Vikings tonight.  We are getting this price because they have lost 3 in a row coming in.  But they had this cushion to spare and still sit in 1st place in the Big Sky by one game.  A win on Senior Night tonight will clinch them the outright title as they have secured at least a share of 1st place for weeks now.  They want the outright title and will get it tonight with a win and cover over Weber State.  The Wildcats are 5-9 SU in true road games this year.  The Vikings are 10-3 SU at home.  Take Portland State.

Knicks vs Raptors (Tuesday) 
7:30 EST 
7-Unit bet on the Knicks using the money line.

The following NBA betting algorithm has produced a 56-43 SU (57%) and 60-37-2 ATS record good for 62% winning bets since 1996. The requirements are:

Bet on road teams priced between a 3.5-point favorite and a 3.5-point underdog.

That team is coming off a home win by 20 or more points.

The opponent has scored 105 or more points, five or more of their last 6 games.

If the total is priced at 220 or more points, road teams have gone 42-29 SU and 45-24-2 ATS for 65% winning bets.

Golden State at home is always dangerous, but the Clippers’ two-way profile gives them the cleaner edge. Their perimeter defense matches up well with the Warriors’ spacing, and LA’s ability to generate efficient half-court looks puts pressure on a Warriors team that has been inconsistent in late-game execution.

Jim's Free Play: Clippers -1 (7:10 PT / 10:10 ET)

Monday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Warriors +2.5

McNeese State heads into Thibodaux as a dominant force in the Southland Conference, riding a remarkable 15-game winning streak that has seen them overpower opponents with suffocating defense, efficient scoring, and consistent rebounding edges, all while covering the spread in 10 of those contests, highlighting their ability to not just win but dominate margins. Facing a Nicholls State squad that has stumbled recently, dropping five of their last seven outings and struggling to find rhythm against stronger conference foes, this matchup presents a clear angle for bettors eyeing road favorites who thrive under pressure, especially given McNeese's impressive 18-3 record in league play, where they've outscored rivals by an average of 17 points per game, bolstered by a top-50 national defense that limits opponents to under 65 points on average. The Cowboys' road performance adds another layer to this bet, with six victories in their last seven away games, including covers in key spots against similar mid-tier teams, where their physicality in the paint and quick transition play have turned potential traps into blowouts, contrasting sharply with Nicholls' 12-9 conference mark that masks vulnerabilities at home, where they've failed to cover in four of their last six as underdogs. Statistically, McNeese's offensive efficiency shines through in their 48.7% field goal shooting and 38.3% from beyond the arc during the streak, allowing them to exploit Nicholls' defensive lapses that have yielded over 75 points per game in recent losses, creating value on the spread before sharper action pushes the line higher, as seen in prior games where the Cowboys' depth and pace wore down lesser squads. Historically in this rivalry, McNeese has flipped the script in recent years, winning six of the last 10 head-to-heads with an emphasis on controlling the boards—averaging a plus-8 rebounding margin in those wins—which bodes well against a Nicholls team that ranks near the bottom of the conference in defensive rebounding percentage, setting up opportunities for second-chance points and extended possessions that could widen the final score. Bettors should consider the trend of Southland road favorites covering at a 57% clip when on winning streaks of 10 or more, aligning perfectly with McNeese's current form, while Nicholls' 48.3% ATS record overall this season underscores their inconsistency, particularly in games where they've been outmatched in tempo and physicality, making this a prime spot to back the hotter team before the market adjusts fully.

My selection is on Duke minus the points over N.C. State at 7 pm et on Monday.

Duke doesn't appear to be as popular as a bet as you might think on Monday. The Blue Devils of course enter this game on a tear having won six straight games since that last-second loss to North Carolina on February 7th. While known for their offensive prowess, the Blue Devils have been as locked-in defensively as any team in the country lately, holding five of their last six opponents to 22 or fewer made field goals including an impressive performance against Michigan on February 21st. N.C. State has fallen apart down the stretch, dropping four of its last five games including a disappointing overtime loss against Notre Dame on Saturday. The Wolfpack have been getting drilled by the opposition, allowing 31 or more made field goals in four of their last five contests, albeit with overtime boosting Notre Dame last time out. N.C. State's defensive play has been an issue for months though really as it has allowed 11 of its last 12 opponents to connect on 25 or more field goals. That's just not going to cut it against an elite team like Duke. Take Duke (8*).

Our selection is on the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday at 7:40pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Boston has won straight up and covered versus the spread in six of it's L7 contests this season.

Since last year, the Celtics have won 10 straight games played in the month of March.

They are 20-11 against the spread in all road games played this season.

Milwaukee brings Giannis back to action tonight. But, he's likely to be on minute restriction.

The Bucks are 0-6 versus the spread over their L6 games played against opponents from the Atlantic Division in the East.

We're on Boston.
