NBA | Raptors vs Lakers
Play on: Lakers -120 at Draft Kings
Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on LAL.

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 Lakers are 6-0 SU in the last six head to head meetings. 

- The Raptors are 9-11 without RJ Barrett this season. 

- Luka Doncic sat out last night's game, and should be good to go vs Toronto. 

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

Game Analysis

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Toronto Raptors -1.5

The Lakers will be playing the second of a back-to-back tonight after a 132-116 loss in Portland last night.  That followed up a 135-117 home loss to Charlotte.  They have dropped to 1-5 SU & 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and are battling injuries in a big way right now.  They are also a tired team playing their 5th game in 7 days tonight.  They were without Austin Reaves, Luka Doncic and DeAndre Ayton last night and it's unclear whether the latter two will return.  I like the Raptors regardless.  Give me the Raptors.

Game Analysis

Sunday NHL Free play. My selection is on St. Louis +1.5 goals over Edmonton at 8:05 pm et on Sunday.

The Blues are coming off back-to-back wins and they're well-rested with this being just their third game in the last week. Meanwhile, the Oilers travel back from Vancouver after trouncing the Canucks 6-0 last night. This will mark Edmonton's fifth game in the last seven nights, in four different cities. Of note, the Oilers are just 5-6 over their last 11 games and 2-5 in their last seven home contests when factoring in the -1.5 puck-line. The Blues road struggles have been well-documented but I look for them to get this three-game trip off to a positive start by keeping pace with the Oilers on Sunday. Take St. Louis +1.5 goals.

NBA | Blazers vs Kings
Play on: Blazers +2½ -105 at betonline
Game Analysis

I’m usually reluctant to fade a team riding a win streak, especially when that confidence starts to snowball — and Sacramento has been rolling, winning and covering four straight. But this sets up as a strong momentum spot for Portland. The Blazers just knocked off the Lakers on Saturday and have quietly been a solid second-night, back-to-back team this season.

Sacramento has also struggled in this exact matchup profile, going just 3–6 ATS in their last nine and 2–6 straight up against bottom-10 scoring defenses. I lean Under here, but the stronger angle is backing the sharper spot and momentum side to steal a road win.

Take: Blazers +2.5 (sprinkle +130 ML)

Let's cash some tickets!
