(#543) Toronto Raptors @ (#544) Chicago Bulls | OVER | . 

I know that this is a high line. But, when these teams collide, we should expect fireworks. Chicago hasn't been playing good defense all season long, allowing the 5th most PPG out of any team in the NBA. I know that it has been better at home for the Bulls. But, this is another tough matchup for them defensively against a Raptors team that's heating up once again.

Off consecutive wins, Toronto has put up 243 points over those two games, including one game against a top five defense in Detroit. I believe that this game should be much more open and give tons of opportunities for both teams to hit shots. Give me the "over" on Wednesday.

Burns' Prediction: 126-114 Raptors.

Ricky's 1* play on CAR.

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.

- Carolina is 14-6 SU in its last 20 games.

- Pittsburgh is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games against Carolina.

- Pittsburgh is 0-9 SU in its last 9 games when playing on the road against Carolina.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

It is rare for both the Stars and Avalanche to each come off a bad loss. But that is the case as the two square off today with each following an embarrassing defeat.

Dallas lost to Utah, 6-3, at home this past Monday. Colorado was humiliated at home by the Penguins, 7-2, also this past Monday.

I expect both teams to be fired up here. The Stars have produced three or more goals in 15 of their last 16 games. They are sixth in scoring and have the league's second-best power play. The Over is 6-2 in Dallas' last eight games.

Colorado leads the NHL in scoring at 3.7 goals a game and also is first on shots on goal. The Avalanche have surrendered a combined 10 goals in their last two games, losses to the Penguins and Jets. Neither Colorado goalie, Scott Wedgewood nor  Mackenzie Blackwood, has been sharp lately.

1* Bet on Nevada -8½

OVER 6

Colorado and Dallas have value to the over. These two teams met earlier this month in a 5-4 Colorado comeback and this will be another high scoring affair. Both teams love to push the tempo and we’re going to see plenty of shots on net, which should result in multiple rebound chances both ways. These two teams just have so many weapons and we’re going to see a back and forth game all night long. 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 OVER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday I am looking at the play in game of Lehigh University and Prairie View A&M Panthers. This total opened up at 146 all way down to 142.5 at the time of record this video and I am still in love with the under here these two teams should have trouble breaking 132 points here in this one. Look for the Panthers to really crank of the defensive effort here in this one. We have seen 7 straight Prairie View gams go under and 3 straight Lehigh go under and this will keep those streaks going.

Jack's Free Pick Wednesday: Houston Rockets -2

I like the spot for the Houston Rockets tonight.  They will be out for revenge from a 100-92 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.  Now they get to face them again at home here two days later, and they will be the more motivated team in the rematch.

The Lakers benefited from not having to face Alperen Senun (20.2 PPG, 9.0 RPG, 6.1 APG) on Monday.  He makes his return from a back injury tonight, and it will make all the difference for the Rockets, who just don't have that much firepower offensively without him.

I have to think Sengun's presence will open up things for everyone else.  The Rockets shot a woeful 5-of-26 (19.2%) from 3-point range on Monday.  They are clearly due some positive shooting regression in the rematch and should get much better looks tonight.  Bet the Rockets Wednesday.

1* Free Pick on Miami-OH +7

SMU is laying way too many points in a tough situational spot. Miami-OH has been a different beast all season.

SMU lives and dies by their pace and transition scoring. Miami-OH excels at slowing the game down and forcing opponents into a physical half-court grind.

The RedHawks rank in the top 60 nationally in defensive rebounding percentage. They won't give SMU the second-chance opportunities the Mustangs usually rely on to build big leads.

SMU’s shooting efficiency takes a massive hit when they leave their home floor. Their effective field goal percentage drops significantly on the road where they struggle to find their rhythm from deep.

Miami-OH protects the basketball as well as any team in their conference. They won't gift SMU easy points through turnovers which is the only way a road favorite covers a number this high.

This is the biggest game of the season for the RedHawks and the home crowd will be a major factor. While SMU has the recruiting advantage, the situational edge sits squarely with the home underdog.

Seven points is a gift for a team that plays this hard on the defensive end. Expect a back-and-forth battle that stays within two buckets the entire night.

Bet Miami-OH +7.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #759 Queens Royals +25.5 over Purdue Boilermakers (7:35p.m., Friday, March 20 TruTV) Purdue showed up in Chicago for the Big 10 Tournament but they have not played well during the second half of the season. We will grab the points with the Royals on Friday night in St. Louis, MO. Purdue is nowhere near as strong on defense this year and many of their stars are not shooting it well. They got a cakewalk to the Big 10 Finals by getting to play a depleted UCLA team on Saturday. They are overseeded and are not a strong two seed. The Royals can score points and should get hot at some point in this game to cover this spread.

New Orleans has been strong at home and matches up well with the Clippers’ inconsistent perimeter defense. The Pelicans’ physicality and half-court scoring efficiency give them the clearer path to covering. With LAC’s volatility, New Orleans is the more stable pick here today.

Take: 542. New Orleans Pelicans -1.5 (5:10 PT / 8:10 ET)

Wednesday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Rockets -2.5

Wednesday night's First Four matchup in the NCAA Tournament pits the undefeated Miami (OH) RedHawks against the SMU Mustangs at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio, and the sharpest edge on the board lies with the total sitting at 164. This neutral-site contest features a high line that overlooks key historical and recent patterns favoring lower-scoring affairs in similar spots.

Miami (OH) enters as one of the season's true surprises with a 31-1 record, including an impeccable 18-0 mark in MAC play, showcasing a disciplined, efficient style that emphasizes half-court execution and strong defensive principles. The RedHawks have thrived by controlling tempo, limiting transition opportunities, and forcing opponents into contested shots—qualities that often translate to games staying under inflated totals, especially when facing teams from higher-profile conferences. Their recent outings have consistently trended toward the under, aligning with a broader pattern seen in MAC teams during high-stakes postseason environments.

SMU, coming off a 20-13 campaign with an 8-10 record in ACC play, brings more athleticism and occasional up-tempo bursts, but their road and neutral-site performances have exposed vulnerabilities in sustaining offensive efficiency against well-coached, patient defenses. The Mustangs have shown flashes of scoring prowess, yet in matchups against structured units, they've frequently fallen short of expectations when totals climb into the 160s.

A standout angle here revolves around MAC teams in the NCAA Tournament or similar neutral-site scenarios: they've produced seven straight unders in recent high-profile games, reflecting the conference's reputation for gritty, defense-first basketball that grinds down opponents rather than fueling shootouts. When totals reach elevated levels like 139 or higher, games involving mid-major squads have historically landed under about 60% of the time, as the pace slows and physicality takes over in March environments.

This combination of Miami (OH)'s methodical approach, SMU's occasional struggles in controlled settings, and the proven under trends for MAC participants in big games makes the under 164 the clear standout play. Bettors leaning into these historical and stylistic edges find strong value in expecting a hard-fought, lower-scoring battle that stays below the posted number

My selection is on Washington over Ottawa at 7:35 pm et on Wednesday.

The Senators are riding high after sweeping their weekend home set against the Ducks and Sharks. They threw everything they had at those two opponents, including starting goaltender Linus Ullmark in both contests. Here, I think things get a little tougher for playoff-hungry Ottawa as it heads on the road to face a desperate Capitals squad that has been idle since Saturday's shootout loss to Boston. The Caps are 2-4 over their last six games and sit eight games back of the final Wild Card spot in the Eastern Conference. All is not lost, however, as they still have time to get back into the playoff picture but it has to start on this homestand. While Washington is just 20-15-4 on home ice this season it has deserved better, outscoring opponents by 0.5 goals on average. With a win here, the Caps can close the gap between them and Ottawa to a single point - the Sens are one of the teams they're looking to leapfrog to climb the Eastern Conference ladder. We'll back Washington at a favorable price on Wednesday. Take Washington (8*).

AAA Sports' Selection -- Anaheim Ducks (ML):

Philadelphia has been surprisingly hot lately but is coming off a loss in a shootout against CBJ.

The Flyers are just 18-39 when playing as an underdog this season and with the losses continuing to pile up, another should be added tonight.

Anaheim has won 14 of it's L20 games this season and is holding onto to top seed in the Pacific currently.

But, tied with Edmonton and one point ahead of VGK, there's still a lot of work to do.

The Ducks are perfect as a favorite against opponents from the Eastern Conference this season -- 6-0.

We're on Anaheim.
