01-07-21 | 76ers v. Nets +1.5 | Top | 109-122 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
Durant is out here but we think the Nets are a solid team without him and they have a great chance for the win here against a Sixers team that is on a back-to-back tonight. The Sixers have been hot to start off the season, but this team has had a manageable schedule and on this B2B we think they will be in a bad spot and likely lose to a Nets team that is still quality without their star. | |||||||
01-07-21 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 73-80 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #732 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Thursday, January 7 FS1) The Badgers are the most experienced team in the conference, and they should be able to challenge for a championship come March. The Hoosiers are coming off two close wins against inferior teams and I feel they will drop this game by double digits. Wisconsin is 3-1 in Big 10 play and needs to keep winning games to keep pace with Michigan, Illinois, and Iowa. Wisconsin is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games played on Thursday. The home team has covered the spread in 4 of the last 5 games between Indiana and Wisconsin. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Bulls v. Kings -7 | Top | 124-128 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 34 m | Show |
The Bulls are coming in on a back-to-back and they had a big win over Portland on the road where they were down big but came back to win. They expended a lot of energy in that game, and we don’t think they will have a lot left in the tank to be competitive here tonight. The Kings started off the season with a 3-1 record but have lost three straight. The last game was against the Warriors, where they were embarrassed in a blowout loss. This seems like a get right game for them against a fatigued opponent, and we think there’s a great chance for a double-digit win by the home team tonight. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Rockets v. Pacers -1.5 | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
The Rockets are 2-3 ATS on the season while the Pacers are 5-2 ATS. Indiana is quietly getting the job done while the Rockets are kind of a mess right now. Sacramento is the only team Houston has beaten this season. This line just seems like a very public line and the Rockets are the Name team here, and we had this line handicapped at 5, so we think there is very nice value with the short favorite. | |||||||
01-06-21 | Virginia Tech v. Louisville -4.5 | 71-73 | Loss | -112 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #664 Louisville over Virginia Tech (6:30p.m., Wednesday, January 6 ACCN) Whenever you see an unranked team favored over a ranked team it is usually a strong angle that hits more often than not. The Cardinals have gotten healthy despite some issues in December and they are always a tough team to beat at home. Virginia Tech is 7-17 ATS in their last 24 games. Louisville is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 home games. | |||||||
01-05-21 | Spurs v. Clippers -9.5 | Top | 116-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 51 m | Show |
This isn’t your father’s Spurs team. This team has been getting worse every year for the last few years, and we think this might be a bottom out season where they don’t even sniff a playoff spot. This team is really struggling right now with four straight losses. They are in tough tonight against a Clippers team that might be the most motivated in the NBA here at the start of the season. They look like the second of third best team in the NBA this season and look even better than last year’s squad that flamed out in The Bubble. We think there’s a great chance for a double digit win here. | |||||||
01-05-21 | Rutgers v. Michigan State -1 | 45-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Michigan State over Rutgers (9p.m., Tuesday, January 5 ESPN2) Never thought I would see day where Michigan State is just a slight favorite at home against Rutgers. The Spartans are just 1-3 in conference play, but 3 of their first 4 games have been on the road. Losing to Wisconsin at home is nothing to worry about, as the Badgers have experience and may be the best team in the conference. Rutgers has played a brutal schedule as well and that will hurt them in this game. Rutgers is still a little banged up as well. Michigan State gets a much needed win at home and we collect in the process as well. | |||||||
01-04-21 | Kings -2 v. Warriors | 106-137 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Curry is going to have to carry this team for awhile as was evidenced by their best game of the season last night as he set a career high for scoring. But on a back-to-back tonight we think he will cool off a bit and Sacramento is an underrated team They have some impressive wins to start the season, but they are coming off B2B losses vs. Houston and they will be motivated tonight. And they will be the more rested team and should coast to a comfortable win tonight. | |||||||
01-04-21 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma State OVER 142 | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #874 Over in West Virginia @ Oklahoma State (9p.m., Monday, January 4 ESPN2) Both teams need this win to even up their conference record at .500 and thus we expect a high scoring game that will go over the posted total. West Virginia has gone over the posted total in 5 straight road games. Oklahoma State has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 6 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
01-04-21 | Cavs v. Magic -5 | Top | 83-103 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
Cleveland has been playing well to start the season, but they are facing a team tonight that doesn’t get a lot of respect from the oddsmakers, and this line is too low in our opinion. Orlando has an identical 4-2 record than that of the Cavs and are also 4-2 ATS. This team is a playoff contender though, and we can’t say that about Cleveland. After beating Atlanta SU last time, this looks like a letdown spot for a Cavs team that won’t be as motivated by their opponent. Orlando is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Blazers v. Warriors +5.5 | Top | 122-137 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
These teams played Friday, and Portland came out with a blowout victory. There are a lot of teams facing each other in consecutive games, and the team that lost the last time normally gives a better effort the next game. We think this one will be more competitive. The Blazers probably won’t come with as much intensity after the easy win, and the Warriors will probably come with much better effort and intensity. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Clippers -3.5 v. Suns | 112-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
During the Bubble restart of last NBA season, the Clippers were great at bouncing back after a loss or bad game, and that trend has followed here into this new season as they played well in the game after that Dallas loss. Now they come in off a loss again, and they face a Suns team that has been really good since the restart and the new season. But there’s a reason LA is favored here as they are the better team and probably much better when the teams are playing their A Games, which we think LA will bring tonight after a loss where they played well but the shots just didn’t drop. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Ohio State v. Minnesota +1 | 60-77 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #840 Minnesota over Ohio State (5:30p.m., Sunday, January 3 BTN) Expect the Golden Gophers to bounce back at home against Ohio State today. This has been a trend in the Big 10, where teams play outstanding one game, looked terrible the next. The home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 games between Ohio State and Minnesota. The Golden Gophers have covered 4 straight home games. | |||||||
01-03-21 | Celtics -8.5 v. Pistons | 122-120 | Loss | -106 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in Detroit. One of those losses was last time out as the Celtics had an off game and lost to Detroit in a low-scoring game. The Celtics have been one of the best ATS teams in the NBA for years, and they are easy to trust. Especially coming off a loss in a rematch against one of the lesser teams in the NBA. We think this is a great chance for a double-digit win by the road team. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Knicks +9.5 v. Pacers | Top | 106-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
This is a rematch from the first game of the season, which was not long ago, so revenge could be a factor here. The Knicks are improved this season. They beat Milwaukee recently in a blowout win. They have won two of three and they held tough with Toronto last time out until the fourth quarter. This team need to be more consistent, but we think this is too many points tonight. The Knicks are playing with more confidence this season, and we think they will be a live dog when getting massive points in certain spots. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Clemson -3.5 v. Miami-FL | 66-65 | Loss | -112 | 3 h 28 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-02-21 | Texas v. Kansas -4 | 84-59 | Loss | -106 | 1 h 29 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Kansas over Texas (12p.m., Saturday, January 2 ESPN) Until Kansas starts losing some games in the Big 12, we will continue to ride them, especially when they are playing in Lawrence. Just do not trust Coach Smart to win these types of games on a consistent basis, as they are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games played on Saturday. Kansas is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Blazers -3.5 v. Warriors | 123-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
The Blazers haven’t been dominant to start the season, but this team is much improved from last year. And we can’t forget this team made the West Finals two years ago. They are hungry and we think they are the much better team here in this matchup. They have had a super tough schedule do far, and this is arguably their easiest game of the season so far. The Warriors have won two straight against inferior competition. But we think this team still has a lot to work on. We think they will get better later in the season, but for right now are a team to fade while they work out their kinks. | |||||||
01-01-21 | Clippers -3 v. Jazz | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 42 m | Show |
It’s hard to justify when a team lost by so many points like they did to Dallas, but this Clippers team is playing as good of basketball as any team in the NBA. They have had one of the toughest schedules in the NBA to start off the season, but they have won their games very comfortably. They have covered all their games except of course that Dallas loss. Utah is on a back-to-back here and they didn’t play well against the Suns last night. This team has covered only one game so far, and the Jazz are notorious for their slow starts. LA is playing with a chip on their shoulders and they look to prove all the doubters wrong that criticized them after last season’s flameout. We think they take care of business again tonight. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Knicks v. Raptors -8.5 | Top | 83-100 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show |
The Raptors are winless on the season at 0-3. However, this is a championship contender team that has been one of the best ATS teams in the league the last couple years and this looks like a Get Right game for them. The Raptors have started off the season with games against three straight playoff contenders, and two of those games have been on the road, not in their new home base. The Knicks are a better team this year but this squad still has a long way to go, and they should face up against a very motivated Toronto team tonight. This very much has the look of a double-digit blowout game. The Knicks are 0-7 ATS in the last seven meetings away from the Garden and 2-8 ATS overall in the last 10 meetings. | |||||||
12-31-20 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -8 | 59-71 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Wisconsin over Minnesota (4:30p.m., Thursday, December 31 BTN) The Badgers are coming off a bad performance last time out against Maryland but expect them to bounce back today against Minnesota and win this game by double digits. Minnesota is coming off their best performance of the year dominating Michigan State from start to finish. Just do not believe they will be able to duplicate that performance on Thursday and against a team desperate to get back on track. Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Wisconsin is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games played on Thursday. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Bucks v. Heat +5.5 | Top | 108-119 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Bucks got their revenge over the Heat last night in a complete and utter blowout by almost 50 points. But now it’s time for the Heat to get some revenge from that horrible loss. The Bucks jumped out to a 20-point lead in the first quarter and were up by 30+ at halftime, and it was garbage time from there on out. But this NBA season is unique and we will see these types of back-to-backs often, and it is hard to beat a team two nights in a row, especially at their own place. The Heat have one of the NBA’s best coaches, and he should be able to make adjustments for his team to be more competitive. Milwaukee set an NBA record for made 3-pointers, and they isn’t going to happen two nights in a row. Miami is a proud team that was just in the NBA Finals, and we think they will bring their A Game here after that embarrassing result. The Bucks aren’t in midseason form right now as they just lost to the Knicks by 20. Jimmy Butler could conceivably be back here for Miami, so that would aid their chances for an outright win. The Bucks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 visits to Miami. | |||||||
12-30-20 | Mississippi State v. Georgia OVER 143 | 83-73 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #676 Over in Mississippi State @ Georgia (7p.m., Wednesday, December 30 SECN) Georgia is currently 7-0 on the season but they have not played a strong schedule. I always like playing the over with Tom Crean coached teams, as they usually care more about scoring points than playing locked down defense. The Bulldogs have gone over the posted total in 19 of their last 26 games following a victory in their previous game. Georgia has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 10 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Wolves v. Clippers -10 | Top | 101-124 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
We like to back a good team coming off a bad loss, and that is the case here with the Clippers tonight. They suffered one of the worst losses in franchise history last time out against the Mavs. They just didn’t come to play and it had to be embarrassing for the players. This team will come out well prepared tonight. They have had probably the toughest schedule in the league to start off the season and are at 2-1 against it, and they won’t overlook the Wolves after that effort against Dallas. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Warriors -4 v. Pistons | 116-106 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Both teams have had a rough start, but the Warriors are the better team and Detroit is coming in on a back-to-back. The Warriors have had a much tougher schedule to start the season. We think they will take advantage of this weaker opponent on a B2B and take care of business tonight with a comfortable win. Only one of these teams is a legit playoff contender, and that’s not the Pistons. | |||||||
12-29-20 | Purdue v. Rutgers -3 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #612 Rutgers over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, December 29 FS1) Just do not feel Purdue is the same team when playing on the road. Purdue has done most of their damage at home this season and they have yet to win a true road game this season (lost to Miami and Iowa). Rutgers is coming off their first loss of the season to Ohio State, and that final score of 80-68 did not reflect how competitive that game was. Rutgers has come injury issues but I believe they will bounce back playing at the RAC tonight. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 games as an underdog. Rutgers is 13-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 20 home games. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Blazers +4 v. Lakers | Top | 115-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
One of the best bets and the strongest trends in the NBA since we began handicapping almost 20 years ago is the Blazers ATS against the Lakers. They have covered 21 of the last 19 meetings in LA, and no matter the strength of the teams, they always bring their A Game when playing the Lakers. The Lakers are on a B2B, Anthony Davis is banged up, and this team is always overrated by the oddsmakers. We think the Blazers can win this one outright. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Northern Arizona v. Gonzaga OVER 156 | 58-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #840 Over in Northern Arizona @ Gonzaga (9p.m., Monday, December 28) Huge line in this game and one would assume if Gonzaga is going to blow them out, they will come close to 100 points in this game. That would set up a strong angle for the over to hit. Gonzaga has a ton of angles favoring the over hitting like they have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 26 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-28-20 | Michigan State -2.5 v. Minnesota | 56-81 | Loss | -101 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #837 Michigan State over Minnesota (8p.m., Monday, December 28 BTN) These are the type of games Michigan State always seems to win over the coaching tenure of Tom Izzo. The Spartans have yet to win a conference game this year and this is an important game for them. Minnesota is coming off a miraculous win over Iowa and I believe they will come back down from that reality tonight. The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between Michigan State and Minnesota. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Grizzlies v. Nets -5 | 116-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
The Nets are coming in on a back-to-back and are being punished too much for the fact by the oddsmakers. They lost to Charlotte last night, and we think this could be the best team in the NBA and they aren’t going to lose many games this season, so we think they will bounce back nicely here. This is early in the season, so B2B’s don’t really matter that much, and we expect Brooklyn to bring some nice energy in a potential double-digit win. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Pistons +10 v. Hawks | 120-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
2-0 team against an 0-2 team, but this line is simply too big. Detroit will come to play tonight to give themselves the best chance to avoid going 0-3. This isn’t a good team. But we are not convinced that the Hawks are good, either, as they have beat up on two mediocre teams to start the season. We had this line handicapped at 7.5, so we think there is some nice value here as we expect the Pistons to put up a fight and keep this one within double digits. | |||||||
12-28-20 | Maryland +9.5 v. Wisconsin | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #831 Maryland over Wisconsin (7p.m., Monday, December 28 FS1) Wisconsin is coming off an emotional win Thursday and Michigan State and it would not surprise me if a letdown occurred in this spot. They will win this game but if they are not shooting a high percentage from the arc, I do not see a double-digit blowout. Maryland is 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games played on Monday. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Suns -3 v. Kings | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Another situation where these teams played the night before. And we think the better team (Suns), who lost last night, will play better and get the win. It’s telling that the odds have not changed much even though Sacramento won last night. It’s hard to beat a team twice in two nights, especially when that losing team is the better squad. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Magic v. Wizards +1.5 | Top | 120-113 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
We are going to see some strange scheduling stuff in the NBA this season, and here we are. These teams played here yesterday. The Magic won, but we just don’t see that happening twice in a row on the Wizards home court. Washington is a team we are high on to start the season, and we don’t see them playing two bad games consecutively against the same team. And now we are getting points instead od laying them. | |||||||
12-27-20 | Mavs +5.5 v. Clippers | 124-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
Morris is out. Kawhi has to be hurting after getting crushed in the head Christmas night by his own teammate, and he was laying in a bloody mess on the court. He had some stiches and will probably go here, but he can’t be feeling great. But mainly this is a revenge scenario from the playoffs. Dallas played a real lousy game last time out in a blowout loss to the Lakers, but and adding to the revenge against the Clips we think they come out and play with more motivation today. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Rockets v. Blazers -7.5 | 126-128 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Houston is missing six players for this game and traveled with nine for this matchup, one more than the minimum number under Covid protocols. James Harden will play, but he is probably the most unhappy player in the NBA right now with trade demands and this team is just filled with drama and distractions right now. All that is built into this inflated line. But we think the Blazers are much improved this season. And they are coming off a really embarrassing loss to Utah, so they will be focused here tonight in a game they can easily win by double digits. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Raptors -2 v. Spurs | 114-119 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 29 m | Show | |
Both teams had unexpected results in their first game. The Spurs aren’t a playoff team, in our eyes. Toronto is a championship contender. We had this line handicapped at Raps -5, so we think there is nice value here. After a blowout loss in their first game, a team with the pedigree of Toronto will no doubt come to play here as they don’t want to open the season 0-2. This is a long season, but no team with championship aspirations wants a poor start like that. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Magic v. Wizards -2 | Top | 130-120 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
We went big on the Wizards in their first game at Philly and they lost but covered. The game was a lot closer than the final score indicated, and Washington led much of the way. We think this team is underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, so that result was great for us to keep the value on this team. Westbrook is the perfect fit here, and this team has underrated young talent. We think they are motivated for a strong start to the season, and we think they bring their A Game tonight. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Ohio State v. Northwestern +145 | 70-71 | Win | 145 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #766 Northwestern over Ohio State (11.a.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) The Buckeyes have been playing a brutal schedule of late and this will be their 3rd road games in their last 4 that has taken place away from Columbus. Northwestern is much improved this season and they have a chance to start the season 3-0 in Big 10 play. Getting points with the home team in this conference is always too good to pass up. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 road games. Northwestern is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. | |||||||
12-26-20 | Kentucky v. Louisville -4 | 59-62 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 21 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #762 Louisville over Kentucky (1p.m., Saturday, December 26 ESPN) No bet against Kentucky is a bad beat this season. Louisville has gotten healthier and they always get up for playing Kentucky in this game. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Clippers -2 v. Nuggets | 121-108 | Win | 100 | 29 h 55 m | Show | |
The Clippers sure came out Game 1 of the season and looked like they had a chip on their shoulder. We think that will continue here against the team that knocked them out of the postseason. The Clippers can come up with any excuse they want, but we just don’t think the Bubble was the right place for them mentally last season. While the depth for this team suffered in the offseason, they are still one of the best teams in the NBA and better than the Nuggets despite last season’s series result. This game just seems more important for the Clippers and we think they come to play tonight. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Mavs +6.5 v. Lakers | Top | 115-138 | Loss | -114 | 26 h 26 m | Show |
LeBron is hobbled but said he would likely play here. With or without him, we like the Mavs here to keep this one close with a chance for the outright win. As if they wouldn’t take this game seriously anyways against the defending champs, they lost their first game so they don’t want to fall to 0-2. We don’t think that prospect is as important to the Lakers, one of the teams that didn’t want the new NBA season to start in December. This team probably won’t be the No. 1 seed this season and they probably don’t need it. We don’t see them getting real serious for about 6-8 weeks. They are normally overvalued by the oddsmakers anyways, but we see them as a team to fade for sure until we see them consistently kicking it up into the midseason gear. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Nets -2.5 v. Celtics | 123-95 | Win | 100 | 23 h 26 m | Show | |
Brooklyn looked like the NBA’s best team on Opening Night and we expect big things from them this season. They seem to want to get off to a fast start. And we think they will bring their A Game tonight against a Celtics team that will miss Kemba Walker. Boston is still plenty good with the team they will bring to the court, and they showed that against the Bucks. We just don’t see them winning two straight against two better EC teams, and the Nets should be very motivated for a big game here. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Warriors v. Bucks UNDER 232 | 99-138 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 1 m | Show | |
We think this total is too high. The Warriors not only don’t look in synch offensively, but they don’t seem to have the players right now to light up the scoreboard in the way we are used to. We think this team will eventually be fine and we have then penciled into the postseason as a high seed, but we think it will be a process and we just don’t see them being that competitive here, especially with the Bucks losing last time out. We don’t see GSW having a breakout on offense here. The Bucks will get their points and the Warriors should play better offensively than Game 1, but we had this one handicapped at mid-220s so we think there’s some decent value here. | |||||||
12-25-20 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State +2 | 85-76 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #752 Michigan State over Wisconsin (12:30p.m., Friday, December 25 FOX) Not sure why Wisconsin is favored in this game. The Badgers lost their only road game of the season to Marquette and they have not won at Michigan State since 2004. Wisconsin has not left the state thus far into the season and this is a game where they will not be the more talented team. The home team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 games between Wisconsin and Michigan State. The Spartans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a losing road record. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Jazz v. Blazers -1 | 120-100 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
The Jazz are another team that starts slow almost every season. We don’t see why that won’t be the case again. Portland is a little under the radar this season. They made some nice offseason moves and are relatively healthy to enter the season. Remember, this is a team that reached the WCF two years ago, and they have one of their better teams in years this season. We had this line at Blazers -4, so we think there is some good value here. Utah is hard to trust early in the season until they show otherwise. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Bucks -4 v. Celtics | 121-122 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
The Celtics open the season not in a great place after a disappointing season and now they lost Hayward in the offseason and Kemba Walker is injured. The Bucks flamed out in the postseason also, but they had an excuse with some off the court issues causing a big distraction. We think they are still one of the NBA title favorites and we think they will want to start off the season with a big win over a rival. They got better in the offseason and we just don’t see how the Celtics can match up tonight against what should be a very motivated Bucks team. | |||||||
12-23-20 | Wizards +7.5 v. 76ers | Top | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
The Wizards are under the radar coming into this season. We think they are going to be pretty good and a solid ATS team to start the season. Russell Westbrook is a great addition to this team and he pairs with Beal extremely well. This team has some nice young talent, and Westbrook’s presence will help them develop and he will take a lot of pressure off Beal, who had a great season last year and should be even better with the pressure off him to carry the team this year. This team will be putting up some crazy numbers on offense and should be able to win a lot of shootouts. Watch out if they can play any defense. Philly got off to a slow start last season and we think that could be the case this season with a new coach and still a strange mix of players that has never figured the formula for success to match their talent. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers v. Lakers UNDER 220.5 | 116-109 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Everyone is down on the Clippers. They did lose some depth but this team didn’t lose enough to warrant such a drop on confidence from the masses. This squad didn’t get to play together much during the season because of injuries and that lack of cohesion showed in the postseason, and the strange atmosphere of the Bubble didn’t help matters. In our minds the Clips are still the clear No. 2 squad in the west and a legit contender. The Lakers just finished their title run what seemed like yesterday and they will probably take some time to get into championship form. We expect a sluggish start from the champs this season. The Clippers seem to have more to prove here and more motivation tonight. | |||||||
12-22-20 | Clippers +3.5 v. Lakers | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show |

12-22-20 | West Virginia v. Kansas -1.5 | 65-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #678 Kansas over West Virginia (9p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ESPN2) The Jayhawks are the king of the Big 12 and anytime you get this number with them in Lawrence it must be considered as a play. Kansas has the bodies to matchup inside with West Virginia and I do not expect a big foul discrepancy tonight as well. The home team is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings between West Virginia and Kansas. West Virginia is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. | |||||||
12-22-20 | North Carolina +1 v. NC State | 76-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #673 North Carolina over North Carolina State (7p.m., Tuesday, December 22 ACCN) North Carolina is winning games despite not being able to shoot it well from the arc. If they ever start making shots from the 3 point line they could reach the final four. NC State lost their only game this year against a decent opponent and they have just feasted on cupcakes thus far in 2020-2021. The road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between UNC and NC State. The Wolfpack are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-21-20 | Arkansas-Little Rock v. Missouri State +1 | 77-85 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #782 Missouri State over Arkansas Little Rock (5p.m., Monday, December 21 ESPN3) The Bears have not been able to play many games in 2020, but playing at home tonight should allow them to emerge victorious. Little Rock is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Missouri State is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-20-20 | Oklahoma State +7 v. Texas | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 55 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #707 Oklahoma State +6.5 over Texas (2p.m., Sunday, December 20 LHN) We lost an 8-unit play with Texas in this game last year and hope to learn from our mistake today. Oklahoma State has talent, and it is just around to predict what you will get from Texas on a game in, game out basis. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups between Oklahoma State and Texas. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Cincinnati -1.5 v. Georgia | 68-83 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #679 Cincinnati -2 over Georgia (8p.m., Saturday, December 19 SECN) The Bulldogs have not played anyone this season, and this will be their toughest slate of the conference season. Georgia is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games played on Saturday. The Bearcats being favored on this true road games tells me they are the better team. | |||||||
12-19-20 | Arizona v. Stanford -2 | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #682 Stanford -2.5 over Arizona (7p.m., Saturday, December 19 PAC12N) Would go higher if this were a true home game for Saturday, but instead they are playing this game in Santa Cruz. Arizona opened as the favorite, but the oddsmakers were not having it and now Stanford is favored. The Cardinal have more talent than do the Wildcats, and that might be the first time in over a decade that this has been the case. Arizona is 2-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 10 games as an underdog. Stanford is 14-5 ATS in their last 19 Saturday games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. | |||||||
12-19-20 | North Carolina -2.5 v. Kentucky | 75-63 | Win | 100 | 3 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3 over Kentucky (2p.m., Saturday, December 19 CBS) If North Carolina can have any success in this game from the arc, they will win this game by double digits. Kentucky is a mess at the moment and will likely not make the NCAA Tournament come March. North Carolina is 5-2 ATS (1 push) int their last 8 games as a favorite. The favorite in this matchup has covered the spread in 3 of their last 5 matchups (1 push). | |||||||
12-19-20 | Louisville v. Wisconsin -6 | 48-85 | Win | 100 | 1 h 47 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #608 Wisconsin -6.5 over Louisville (12p.m., Saturday, December 19 ESPN2) This is a late add game after Louisville could not play this game during the ACC/Big 10 Challenge. The Cardinals have been off since 12/1 and they have just played home game. They lost a ton of talent from last year and Wisconsin has everyone back. The Badgers are 7-0 ATS in their last 8 games played on Saturday. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Weber State v. Portland State OVER 146 | 94-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 Over in Weber State @ Portland State (10:05p.m., Friday, December 18) The Vikings have been an over team of late and expect that to continue on Friday night with Big Sky playing getting underway. The Vikings have gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 10 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Chicago State +18 v. Northern Illinois | 54-64 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #833 Chicago State over Northern Illinois (7p.m., Friday, December 18) Both these teams are terrible, and the total is just in the mid-130s and thus we will grab the points and Cougars are hang on to only lose by 17 points or less. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Tennessee Tech v. Tennessee -28.5 | 49-103 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #838 Tennessee over Tennessee Tech (7p.m., Friday, December 18 SEC+) This will be a blowout, name your score type of game for the Volunteers. The Golden Eagles are 0-7 on the season and this is a buy game where they will collect a check and get blown out by 30+ points. Tennessee has covered the spread in 5 of their last 6 games. | |||||||
12-18-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Richmond OVER 140 | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #856 Over in Richmond @ Loyola (6p.m., Friday, December 18 ESPN+) Both teams trends all favor the over and now we have value with the total dropping 4 points from the overnight line. Richmond has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 11 games. Loyola has gone over the posted total in 10 of their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-17-20 | Kansas v. Texas Tech -3 | 58-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #365 Kansas City Chiefs over New Orleans Saints (4:25p.m., Sunday, December 19 CBS) The Saints are coming off a devastating loss at Philadelphia last week and now will likely not earn the top seed in the NFC (only 1 team gets a bye this year). The Chiefs have been winning games but not covering the spread of late, but now they have a low number where they likely just need to win the game. QB Brees have been eyeing this date to return, but I do not think it will matter. Kansas City is an offensive machine, and New Orleans will have to score in the high twenties to have a chance to cover this spread. Kansas City is 11-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 road games against teams with a winning home record. New Orleans is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games against teams with a winning record. | |||||||
12-16-20 | Memphis v. Tulane +10 | 80-74 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #674 Tulane over Memphis (9p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ESPN2) Memphis is overrated again this season and the Penny Hardaway experiment does not seem to be an improvement over Tubby Smith. Tulane has not played anyone this year, but they are 4-0 and I believe they can keep this game in single digits. The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Tulane is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-16-20 | Ohio State v. Purdue -4.5 | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #670 Purdue over Ohio State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 16 BTN) On paper this line is begging you to take Ohio State, but an unranked favorite over a ranked team is always a recipe for success in college basketball gambling. Throw in the fact that Ohio State will be without E.J. Liddell and Seth Towns and expect Purdue to win this game by double digits. The Boilers are just a different team at home and tonight will be no different. Ohio State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Purdue is 38-14 ATS in their last 52 games played on Wednesday. | |||||||
12-16-20 | Pittsburgh -2 v. Miami-FL | 70-55 | Win | 100 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #663 Pittsburgh over Miami (6p.m., Wednesday, December 16 ACCN) The Hurricanes are banged up with a ton of injuries and they cannot shoot the ball at all from the arc. They are 4 for 36 from the three-point line over their last two games. The Panthers have a nice win at Northwestern and will win this game as well. The Hurricanes are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games played on Wednesday. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Furman v. Alabama OVER 154 | 80-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #634 Over in Furman @ Alabama (9p.m., Tuesday, December 15 SECN) The Paladins have gone over the posted total in 21 of their last 28 games as a road underdog. The Crimson Tide have gone over the posted total in 11 of their last 16 home games. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Florida A&M +13 v. Austin Peay | 76-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #307073 Florida A&M over Austin Peary (8:30p.m., Tuesday, December 15) The Rattlers are 0-4 on the season but they have a bunch of ATS trends that work in their favor tonight. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight-up loss of more than 20 points. Austin Peay has not covered the spread much of late going 3-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. | |||||||
12-15-20 | Loyola-Chicago v. Wisconsin -8.5 | 63-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 Wisconsin over Loyola (8p.m., Tuesday, December 15 BTN) The Ramblers have not played anyone this season, and this is a late add game after the original games got cancelled. The Ramblers have nowhere near the talent they had when they reached the final four a couple of years ago. Wisconsin has experience and they will pull at some point in this game and win it by double-digits. Loyola is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-13-20 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Western Michigan -2.5 | 71-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 11 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #772 Western Michigan -3 over Milwaukee (2p.m., Sunday, December 13) We went against Broncos on Saturday but will take them on Sunday playing a worse Horizon League team. Milwaukee has played just one game in 2020-2021 and that was a loss to Kansas State, a terrible team that lost to a division two team earlier this season. Western Michigan played Detroit even for 35 minutes until falling apart down the stretch. Expect them to control this game from the start and earn a 7-9 point victory. The Panthers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games played on Sunday. WMU is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-12-20 | Alabama -1.5 v. Clemson | 56-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #726 Alabama over Clemson (8p.m., Saturday, December 12 ACCNX) Coach Oats put a bullseye on his head and it will be interesting to see if he can back it up. Clemson is coming off their best performance of the year, dominating Maryland from start to finish but this will be the most talented team that they will face thus far in 2020. Alabama has bounced back from a loss to Stanford with two blowout victories and tonight will be no different as well. | |||||||
12-12-20 | Syracuse -2.5 v. Boston College | 101-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 60 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #665 Syracuse over Boston College (1p.m., Saturday, December 12 ESPNU) The Orange need to start winning as once again their schedule is light on quality wins as conference play gets underway. They get Buddy Boeheim back for this game and that gives them a shooter that will be able to space out the floor. Boston College played well against Minnesota this week and lost in overtime but I believe that will take a lot out of them for this game. | |||||||
12-11-20 | Marquette v. UCLA -4 | 60-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #638 UCLA -4.5 over Marquette (9:30p.m., Friday, December 11 PAC12N) UCLA has bounced back after losing to San Diego State in their opener to win 4 straight games, all of them by at least 9 points. They face a Marquette team that will be playing their first true road game of the season and this is a very young team. UCLA is 12-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 16 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-09-20 | Georgia Tech v. Nebraska OVER 147 | 75-64 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #628 Over in Georgia Tech @ Nebraska (7:15p.m., Wednesday, December 9 ESPN2) Both teams will be ready to go up and down tonight after playing teams that like to slow down the pace in recent games. The Yellow Jackets have gone over the posted total in 4 of their last 5 road games. Nebraska has gone over the posted total in 16 of their last 23 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. | |||||||
12-08-20 | North Carolina v. Iowa -2.5 | Top | 80-93 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #818 Iowa over North Carolina (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN) Nonconference Game of the Year Just believe Iowa is the more experienced and better shooting team in this game. This follows the pattern of success that we have had in recent years in this game, fading a team that played in a Holiday tournament last week compared to a team that is resting at home. Granted, North Carolina got to play in Ashville, but a few things happened last week in their second-place finish. One is Garrison Brooks got hurt and he has not been cleared to practice as of late Monday. Second, the refs will not bail them out in the semifinals like they did last week. These will not be ACC centric refs tonight, as this is a true home game for the Hawkeyes. Not going to talk much about Iowa’s game thus far, as they have all been blowout wins against cupcake opponents. But a couple of keys to follow, one is the 3-point line. North Carolina again, does not have a good shooting team from the arc, averaging under 30% and that will not get it done tonight. North Carolina will have to pound the glass to win this game and Iowa just has too much experience for that to happen. Finally, Fran McCaffery teams usually follow a pattern of starting the season hot before failing toward the end of conference season and make a quick out in the NCAA Tournament. That is okay for us tonight and expect them to remain undefeated. Iowa is 15-5 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 22 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-08-20 | Purdue v. Miami-FL +1.5 | 54-58 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #792 Miami over Purdue (5p.m., Tuesday, December 8 ESPN2) Just not a fan of this Purdue squad this season. They struggled last year when not playing in West Lafayette and do not see things getting any better in 2020-2021. They are 3-1 but they only tough game this season they lost to Clemson by double-digits. They lost big man Matt Harms to BYU and I just do not believe they will be able to take advantage of Miami’s lack of size in this game. Miami had some covid issues earlier this season, but they are pretty healthy for this game and have more talent on the floor even if Chris Lykes does not go. They should be able to dominate this game at the guard position and they are being undervalued because they have played two cupcakes to open the season. Purdue is 3-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 14 road games. Miami is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Everyone loves Matt Painter as a coach, but he tends to go into two-year funks, and this does not appear to be an NCAA Tournament team again this year. Miami wins this game. | |||||||
12-07-20 | Chattanooga v. Middle Tennessee -1.5 | 80-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #770 Middle Tennessee -2 over Chattanooga (7p.m., Monday, December 7) The Blue Raiders played their best game of the season last time out dominating Murray State and expect more of the same tonight at home. MTSU is 23-9 ATS in their last 221 home games against teams with a winning road record. A 1-2 teams favored against an 0-3 team tells us something about the talent on each side. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. Our 8-unit NCAA Nonconference Game of the Year is set to go tomorrow and will be posted at 11:30 a.m. eastern. | |||||||
12-05-20 | UNLV v. Kansas State -2 | 68-58 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #662 Kansas State -2 over UNLV (8p.m., Saturday, December 5 ESPN+) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They are 0-4 and they have been blown out in 3 of their 4 games they have played this season. This is the end of a long road trip and it is a true road game for them. The Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games. | |||||||
12-04-20 | Toledo -2 v. Eastern Michigan | 91-74 | Win | 100 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #803 Toledo over Eastern Michigan (7p.m., Friday December 4 ESPN3) MAC play gets underway tonight, and we will side with the visitor. EMU is a bottom feeder team in the MAC whereas Toledo is expected to challenge for the top spot in the league. The Rockets have three players averaging at least 15 points per game and Marreon Jackson could challenge for player of the years. EMU is 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 games. | |||||||
12-04-20 | Wisconsin -4 v. Marquette | Top | 65-67 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 27 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #805 Wisconsin over Marquette (7p.m., Friday December 4 FS1) The Badgers are legit and are better than Marquette at 4 of the 5 positions on the court. I expect this line to go up throughout the day but it will not matter since Wisconsin wins this game by double digits. The Golden Eagles lost to Oklahoma State last time out at home by 8 points in a game that was not as close as that final would reflect. They are in a complete rebuild and have no home court advantage in this game. Wisconsin is 7-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Marquette is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog. | |||||||
12-03-20 | Arizona State v. California OVER 143 | 70-62 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #774 Over in Arizona State @ Cal (10p.m., Thursday, December 3 P12N) All three of the Sun Devils have gone way over tonight’s posted number and we expect them to dictate the pace of this game since they are the better team. Arizona State has gone over the posted total in 9 of their last 11 games. Cal has gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 7 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-03-20 | VMI v. Virginia Tech OVER 137 | 57-64 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #758 Over in VMI @ Virginia Tech (8p.m., Thursday, December 3 ACCN) The Keydets have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games played on Thursday. The Hokies have gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 11 home games (1 push). We will not worry if the Hokies can cover this big number and instead just collect with the over. | |||||||
12-03-20 | Connecticut v. USC +1.5 | 61-58 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #752 USC over Connecticut (7p.m., Thursday, December 3 ESPN) Just feel Connecticut is overhyped again this season. Everyone wants them to return to form but they just do not have the talent yet. USC has been frustrating at times but they have looked really impressive thus far including a 26 point victory against BYU last time out. They have been in Connecticut and will be rested for this game with a day off yesterday. USC is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games. 73% of the money is coming in on USC. | |||||||
12-02-20 | San Francisco v. Nevada -3 | 85-60 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #702 Nevada over USF (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 themwc.com) This is a home and home with these two teams playing in Reno on Wednesday and San Francisco on Sunday. Expect Nevada to pull away in the second half tonight and earn their fourth victory of the season. USF beat Virginia but they lost by 13 points the next day to Rhode Island. The Dons are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight-up loss. The Wolf Pack is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite. | |||||||
12-02-20 | Texas-Arlington +14 v. Arkansas | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #705 Texas Arlington over Arkansas (9p.m., Wednesday, December 2 SECN) The Razorbacks are playing a super easy schedule yet again this year and this may be the toughest team they face to date. The Mavericks took Oklahoma State and Louisiana Tech to the wire and I see them keeping this game around 10 points. Arkansas will try and run up the score if they can, I just do not see it happening tonight. Texas Arlington is 15-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 21 games as an underdog. | |||||||
12-02-20 | South Dakota State v. Iowa State -1 | 71-68 | Loss | -113 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #682 Iowa State over South Dakota State (7p.m., Wednesday, December 2 ESPN+) This fits a similar situation to our top play yesterday. Iowa State has been at home while South Dakota State played three games in three days last week at a neutral site in South Dakota. The Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. | |||||||
12-01-20 | UNLV v. Alabama -10.5 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #636 Alabama -10.5 over UNLV (9:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN2) No bet against UNLV is a bad bet this season. They have lost by double digits in each of there two games. Alabama got shell shocked by Stanford yesterday, but they are playing a much easier opponent tonight in Ashville. UNLV is still in a major rebuild and it does not appear they will be coming out of it this season. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
12-01-20 | Michigan State v. Duke -2.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 22 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #624 Duke -3.5 over Michigan State (7:30p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) Michigan State just does not seem to win these types of games early in the season. This is a true home game for Duke, although they will not have the Cameron crazies in attendance. But playing in Durham is still no easy task and expect Duke to take care of business. | |||||||
12-01-20 | Western Kentucky v. Louisville -3 | 54-75 | Win | 100 | 4 h 53 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #612 Louisville -4 over Western Kentucky (6p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ACCN) WKU is legit this season but the travel will get them in this game. They played three games in South Dakota last week and expect them to have tired legs in this game. Louisville has been feasting on bad teams at home and they return a bunch of talent form last year. WKU has played three games against good competition and that will eventually catch up with you. Getting a key transfer in Carlik Jones will put Louisville over the top in this game. Louisville is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on Tuesday. WKU is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games played on Tuesday. | |||||||
12-01-20 | North Carolina -3.5 v. Stanford | 67-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #631 North Carolina -3.5 over Stanford (4p.m., Tuesday, December 1 ESPN) The 2020 Maui Invitational was kept alive because of North Carolina and thus it is only fitting that they advance to the finals since this is being played in Ashville. Carolina struggled in their first game against Charleston but pulled away in the second half and have not looked back since. Now they face a former Roy Williams assistant in Jerod Haase, a team that returns 4 starters but lost their best player in Tyrell Terry from last season. North Carolina needs to win this tournament to make sure they get into the NCAA Tournament come March after falling apart last season mainly due to injuries. | |||||||
11-30-20 | Pacific v. Nevada -5.5 | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #880 Nevada over Pacific (10p.m., Monday, November 30 MWC.com) The Wolf Pack are more tested this season having won a true road game at Nebraska over the weekend. They have had great success against Pacific of late and should be able to take them down at Lawlor Events Center tonight. The favorite has won 7 of the last 10 games between the Tigers and Wolf Pack. Nevada is 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games played on Monday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-30-20 | Auburn v. UCF +1 | 55-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Central Florida over Auburn (7p.m., Monday, November 30 ESPN+) Tough spot for the Tigers in this game having to play a true road game against UCF after getting blown out by Gonzaga on Friday. Auburn has a lame duck year, as they cannot go to the NCAA Tournament because of a pending investigation by the rule’s infraction committee. The Tigers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. UCF is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games played on Monday. | |||||||
11-30-20 | Bowling Green -1 v. Appalachian State | 78-76 | Win | 100 | 7 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #851 Bowling Green over Appalachian State (6p.m., Monday, November 30) Bowling Green is terrible in football but they are expected to do damage in the MAC this year. The return Justin Turner and expect him to have a big night against App State tonight in North Carolina. Both teams blew out South Carolina State but the Falcons being favored on the road tells me something about who the better team in this game is. The Mountaineers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games. | |||||||
11-28-20 | Virginia Tech v. Villanova -9.5 | 81-73 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. #746 Villanova -9.5 over Virginia Tech (8p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNU) the Wildcats are battle tested this season having earned two victories by 9 points including beating Arizona State last time out. I do not see Virginia Tech being able to be a consistent winner once Buzz Williams left town and their level of talent continues to dwindle. Villanova has the best players on the court in Jeremiah Robinson-Earl and they should pull away in the second half and win this game by double-digits. Virginia Tech is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. Villanova is 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 neutral site games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-28-20 | South Carolina v. Liberty +8 | 62-78 | Win | 100 | 5 h 33 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. #742 Liberty +8 over South Carolina (4p.m., Saturday, November 28 ESPNN) TOP NCAA HOOPS GAME OF THE DAY The Gamecocks are set to make their season debut in 2020 today in Kansas City. Liberty already has two games under their belt, and both came against teams that are better than South Carolina. Just not a believer in Fran Martin being a consistent winner at South Carolina. He had one great year when they made the final four but has not done much in the other years as coach. Liberty is coached by Ritchie McKay and already beat Mississippi State by 11 points this season. South Carolina is 1-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 8 neutral site games. Liberty is 9-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. | |||||||
11-27-20 | VCU +7 v. Memphis | 70-59 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #677 VCU over Memphis (9p.m., Friday, November 27 ESPN2) Just do not believe Memphis should be this big of a favorite in this third-place game. Both teams will be playing their third game in three days and thus I expect a lower scoring hard fought game. | |||||||
11-27-20 | Hartford v. Connecticut -21.5 | 57-69 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take 307160 Connecticut over Hartford (8p.m., Friday, November 27 CBSSN) CUCONN continues with their in-state domination tonight against Hartford at Gampel Pavilion. The Huskies are back in the Big East and return 4 starters from last year’s squad. They will make the NCAA Tournament this year and win this game by 30 points. Connecticut is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-26-20 | Nevada v. Nebraska -3.5 | 69-66 | Loss | -125 | 3 h 53 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #792 Nebraska -4 over Nevada (2p.m., Thursday, November 26 BTN) Both teams are coming off impressive win yesterday, but I feel Nebraska playing at home will be the difference today. They tried to host a tournament and invite teams they could beat and expect them to win this game by double digits. Fred Hoiberg had a bunch of transfers sit out last season, but they are now eligible to play. Nevada is in a major rebuild as well and I see them struggling to keep up in scoring in this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports | |||||||
11-25-20 | College of Charleston v. North Carolina OVER 143 | 60-79 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
10 Unit Play. Take #636 Over in Charleston @ North Carolina (6p.m., Wednesday, November 25 ACCN) Carolina was happy to put last year behind them and they reloaded with a bunch of incoming talent this year. Roy Williams likes to play up-tempo and I expect them to reach the nineties in scoring tonight at the Dean Dome. North Carolina has gone over the posted total in 7 of their last 9 home games (1 push) when they are the favorite. | |||||||
11-25-20 | North Dakota State +138 v. Nevada | 48-62 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #733 North Dakota State over Nevada (3p.m., Wednesday, November 25) Both teams lost a ton of talent from last year and thus we will side with the underdog. North Dakota State is always a top team in the Summit League, and they return three key players from last year’s 25 win team. NDSU is 12-4 ATS in their last 16 neutral site games when they are an underdog. Nevada is 4-9 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 15 neutral site games when they are a favorite.
