3* on Elizabeth Mandlik

UNDER 162.5

Louisville and UNC meet and we’re on the under. Louisville has given up only 71.8 ppg so far this season and they have played well against the good competition in the conference. UNC is right there with them defensively and actually slightly better sitting at just 70 ppg against. This will turn into a half court style game and a grind both ways. Expect longer possessions and difficult shots in a low scoring game. 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 UNDER. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray.

Ricky's 1* play on HOU.

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.

- Houston is 17-3 in its last 20 games.

- Houston is 18-2 SU in its last 20 games on the road.

- Houston is 17-2 SU in its last 19 games when playing as the favourite.

Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

(#573) San Antonio Spurs | ATS | . 

Two of the hottest teams in the NBA will go at it on Monday, hoping to remain on their perfect runs. San Antonio has won eight consecutive contests and even though I don't love that when playing on it, this is a spot where I expect the West to show the East who's boss, just like yesterday's OKC/CLE matchup.

Detroit is great, don't get me wrong. But, it lacks the supporting cast at times and leaves Cade/Duren out to dry. Considering the amount of depth that the Spurs possess and bring into tonight's ball game, it's too hard to pass up on SAS as hot as it is given it's an underdog this evening. Hammer the Spurs.

Burns' Prediction: 119-112 Spurs.

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Houston/Kansas UNDER 138.5

The Houston Cougars are coming off two consecutive losses to Iowa State and Arizona.  It's safe to say they will be locked in defensively tonight to try and end this skid.  I know there will be max effort on that end for them.

The same can be said for Kansas, which is coming off a 84-68 home loss to Cincinnati in which the Bearcats got whatever they wanted offensively.  The Jayhawks have lost two of their last three games and will be locked in defensively as well.

Houston ranks 354th in adjusted tempo and 7th in adjusted defense.  Kansas ranks 198th in adjusted tempo and 14th in adjusted defense.  Possessions will be limited in this game due to the pace, and that has been the case every time these teams get together.

Houston and Kansas have combined for 124, 132 and 122 points at the end of regulation in their last three meetings.  Houston is 5-1 UNDER in its last six games overall.  Kansas is 18-9 UNDER in all games this season.  Bet the UNDER in this game Monday.

Dave's Monday Free Play:

1* on Louisville/UNC UNDER 162.5

The Key: With UNC without its best player in Caleb Wilson (19.8 PPG), the Tar Heels have had to rely more on defense to try and win games.  They have gone 4-1 UNDER in their last 5 games overall with 139 combined points with Duke, 141 with Miami, 144 with Pitt, 140 with NC State and 141 with Syracuse.  They haven't even come close to exceeding this 162.5-point total during this stretch.  They are playing at home so they will dictate tempo and slow this thing down a lot.  They don't want to let Louisville get out in transition, which is where they are at their best.  This will be much more of a defensive battle than this line suggests.  Take the UNDER.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Utah Jazz +13.5

The Houston Rockets are 13-11 SU & 6-18 ATS in their last 24 games overall.  They aren't blowing anyone out even when they win as 12 of those 13 wins came by 9 points or fewer.  So it's a lot to ask them to win this game by 14 or more points today over the Utah Jazz.  That's especially the case with the Jazz much healthier coming out of the break with Markkanen probable and the possibility that Keyonte George returns tonight.  The Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall so they aren't quite tanking as much as perceived.  Give me the Jazz.

NBA Underdog Algorithm: Money Line and Spread Strategy

For bettors seeking to maximize value, consider the following approach: place an additional 2 units on the money line, or alternatively, split your stake by betting 3.5 units on the spread and 1.5 units on the money line. This diversified strategy can help capture upside while managing risk.

Algorithm Performance Overview

This NBA betting algorithm has delivered consistent success over the past six seasons, compiling a 133-200 straight-up (SU) record and an impressive 198-132-3 record against the spread (ATS). This equates to a 60% win rate for qualifying ATS wagers.

Qualifying Criteria

Bet on underdogs priced between 3.5 and 7.5 points.

The underdog is facing a team that has scored 120 or more points in each of their last two games.

Additional Profitable Scenario

When the opposing team is allowing 47% or worse shooting, this approach has yielded even stronger results. In these cases, the underdog has achieved a 38-32 SU record and a 44-25-1 ATS record, translating to a 64% win rate against the spread.

Monday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Spurs +1.5

Monday CBB Free play. My selection is on Southeastern Louisiana plus the points over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi at 7 pm et on Monday.

I don't think Texas A&M-Corpus Christi has any business laying points on the road, noting that it has made good on just 24, 23, 26 and 20 field goals over its last four games with the two high-water marks coming in contests where it hoisted up 62 or more field goal attempts. If there's one thing Southeastern Louisiana does well it is limit the pace of its opposition, having allowed 56 or fewer field goal attempts in five straight and 11 of its last 12 games. The Lions have at least shown signs of life offensively in recent weeks, knocking down 28, 25, 16 and 24 field goals over their last four contests. That's encouraging considering the slow pace they tend to play at. Note that Southeastern Louisiana will be looking to avenge an earlier double-digit loss to the Islanders. While Texas A&M-Corpus Christi does own the better overall record in this matchup this season it is still just .500 team and Southeastern Louisiana has faced the more difficult schedule to this point. Take Southeastern Louisiana (8*).

Our selection is on the Houston Cougars to cover the spread against the Kansas Jayhawks on Monday at 9:00pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Houston has lost back-to-back games for the first time in a couple of years. It almost never losses three straight.

The Cougars are 18-2 over their L20 games played on the road over the L2 seasons.

They are also 3-0 over the L3 games played against the Jayhawks.

Kansas lost badly at home to Cincinnati on Saturday and has been having trouble against the spread recently too.

The Jayhawks are just 6-14 straight up and 7-13 versus the spread over their L20 games played as a betting underdog.

We're on Houston.

AAA Sports

David's NBA Free Pick

We really like the road underdog in this matchup. The Spurs carry an eight-game winning streak into Detroit and they own a winning record (8-7) outright as underdogs on the road for the season. One of the best from the West vs the Beast from the East - we like the West which is, quite clearly, the stronger conference this season.

This is a FREE PLAY on the SPURS.

1* Bet on Louisville -2½

For my best free pick on the board for Monday in college basketball action I am looking at a marquee game of the Louisville Cardinals and the North Carolina Tar Heels. We should see a wold of action here on North Carolina at home getting points. This team has won 7 of the last 9 games and the last one was a convincing win on the road at Syracuse. Louisville one of the top 7 teams in all of college basketball in my book and a big final four contender but to make the final four and get a top seed in the big dance just around the corner a big performance here will go a long way. Look for the Cardinals to lead pillar to post here.
