Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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.

- The Under is 6-3 in LA Lakers' last 9 games against an opponent in the Western Conference.

- The Under is 4-1 in LA Clippers' last 5 games against LA Lakers.

- The Under is 5-2 in LA Clippers' last 7 games against an opponent in the Pacific Division.

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

1* FREE INFO PLAY Tennessee State +1½ -110

*Free Play Under* Louisiana and Appalachian State are both in the bottom four teams in the country in terms of pace of play. This one will be played at a snail's pace.

App State is one of the better defenses in the Sun Belt. They are likely to be able to defend this Louisiana team which fires away from three point range.

App State's offense isn't good at all. Louisiana should be able to keep them contained here.

A rare early start game during the week. Take the under.

Thursday NBA Free play. My selection is on Charlotte plus the points over Orlando at 7:10 pm et on Thursday.

Public perception would tell you that the Magic are the vastly superior team in this matchup but it certainly hasn't played out that way from an ATS perspective over the last couple of months. The Hornets have been the far better bet since the beginning of December and I think they're catching too many points in this spot on Thursday. Yes, Charlotte played last night. It was never really all that competitive as it found itself in a bad spot against a good Cavaliers team looking to bounce back. The Magic enter this game off a three-day layoff following their two-game trip to Europe. Noting that Orlando is just 6-16 ATS over its last 22 contests, I think it will be hard-pressed to win this game, let alone by margin. Take Charlotte.
