04-06-18 | Pelicans v. Suns OVER 218.5 | 122-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 60 m | Show | |
Pelicans vs. Suns Over 220 The New Orleans Pelicans and Phoenix Suns have pushed the pace as consistently as anyone in the NBA this year. New Orleans hasn't shot the ball very well of late, but that should change when they go up against this awful Suns defense. Phoenix has plenty of offensive weapons, and they can score in bunches. The Suns are having fun and running the floor as much as ever of late. New Orleans is able to defend teams who go inside a lot, but the Pelicans perimeter defenders aren't very good at all. The Suns will be looking to shoot from the outside very often, and that should help them have success here. The Pelicans have to win as the playoff standings in the Western Conference stay tight. They should put on quite the offensive display here. Both teams score a large number here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
04-06-18 | Cavs v. 76ers -3.5 | 130-132 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -3.5 The 76ers laying the points here, at home, have a lot of value to work with. Cleveland comes in after erasing a huge 4th quarter deficit last night, a game where they trailed by as many as 10 with just 4 minutes to go. This is not only a bit of a let down spot, but a look over spot as well. Cleveland comes in off an emotional win and will have some fatigue to battle with here. On top of that, the 76ers are just so tough. They are a young group that can really cause a lot of issues for teams with their speed and pace of play. While Cleveland does typically play fast, the 76ers have proven they can really get the Cavs on their heels defensively. Some trends to note. 76ers are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. 76ers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. This is a nice spot on the home side. Lay the points. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-04-18 | Heat -8 v. Hawks | 115-86 | Win | 100 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Miami Heat -8 The Miami Heat were sloppy last night against the Hawks. They nearly paid for it. Miami has a lot to play for here, and the Hawks are playing for a better chance at a high draft pick. This is one of those "tanking" spots where the price is reasonable enough to pull the trigger. The Heat have been very good at closing the season playing good basketball under Spoelstra. He is an underrated head coach in the NBA. Miami's offense has improved down the stretch, and I look for them to continue to be good on the defensive end. Atlanta is playing a B2B spot against a team with a lot to play for, and the Hawks simply want this season to be over. This is one of those games where they could mail it in and get run off the floor and it wouldn't surprise me one bit. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-03-18 | Raptors +1.5 v. Cavs | 106-112 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 26 m | Show | |
Toronto Raptors +1.5 A revenge spot is in play here when the Raptors and Cavaliers meet. Toronto led Cleveland by double digits for a majority of 3 quarters in Cleveland recently, a game where mayhem ensued in the 4th. Cleveland eventually came back to grab a win, sending quite the message to the Raptors that they are still the team to beat in the East. While the season has been up and down for Cleveland, the Raptors have consistently sat atop the East. Toronto comes in with 55 wins on the year and are putting up an impressive 111 points in road situations. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 Tuesday games. Cavaliers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Cleveland will be without George Hill once again, which has proven to be a big piece missing when he's not in the lineup. With all the factors in play, the Raptors will come out with plenty of fire in this spot. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
04-02-18 | Michigan v. Villanova OVER 145 | 62-79 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 46 m | Show | |
Michigan vs. Villanova Over 145 The Wildcats and Wolverines meet in the National Championship and the Over here has value. Villanova has been just at an extremely high level top to bottom on the offensive end. After their barrage from behind the arc in the Final Four, the Wildcats have proven they just have so many weapons. Michigan will simply have to turn the tempo up here, knowing what they'll get from this Nova offense. Michigan did just that against Loyola in their matchup, as they picked up the tempo and aggression in the 2nd half. Knowing that is the style they need here, this certainly gives the Over value. Some trends to note. Over is 13-4 in Wildcats last 17 games following a straight up win. Over is 15-5 in Wildcats last 20 overall. Expect this one to be back and forth with plenty of quick shots both ways. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
04-01-18 | Bucks v. Nuggets OVER 224 | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show | |
Milwaukee vs. Denver Over 224 The Bucks and Nuggets are in a nice spot on the Over here Sunday afternoon. These are two offenses that like to get up and down the floor quickly, while both attacking early in the shot clock. That bodes well for this Over given that aggressive style from both sides. Along with that, you're going to get two defenses that are amongst the worst in the league. Neither team has shown the ability to get back in transition, as well as close out on opposing shooters. Expect both teams to get plenty of open looks here from almost everywhere on the floor. Some trends to note. Over is 7-1 in Bucks last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Denver. Given the situational aspect as well, expect plenty of easy buckets here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | Kansas v. Villanova -5 | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 21 h 15 m | Show | |
Villanova -5 The Villanova Wildcats have been the most consistent team in the country this year. Villanova should continue their march to the national title in this one. Kansas has been a really inconsistent team all year long. The Jayhawks have been bad on defense overall this year, while Villanova has been great on both ends of the floor. Kansas ranks outside the top 50 in many key defensive statistics. Villanova has been playing their best defense of the year in the last two weeks. I liked the effort of the Kansas team to beat Duke in the Elite 8, but I see a much tougher test here. Villanova has many more players who can beat you, and the Wildcats are a veteran group. Some of Duke's youngsters weren't at their best on the big stage. Villanova should be ready to go. Expect Villanova to have the lead throughout and their great free throw shooting should seal the game and the cover. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-31-18 | Kansas v. Villanova OVER 154.5 | Top | 79-95 | Win | 100 | 26 h 23 m | Show |
Kansas vs. Villanova Over 154.5 The Final Four features two teams that really deserve to be in this spot. Both Kansas and Villanova have consistently sat atop the nation this season, as they enter play on Saturday with plenty of momentum. You know you're going to get a lot of pace with both these teams, which is certainly a huge plus for this Over. Kansas and Villanova have both played up and down affairs on almost every tournament game here in March. Along with that, both teams just have so many weapons to deal with. Both of these teams average well into the 80s and can put the ball in from anywhere on the floor. Look for a lot of quick shots early in the shot clock, benefiting the Over in a big way. Some trends to note. Over is 14-5 in Wildcats last 19 overall. Over is 5-1-1 in Jayhawks last 7 overall. Expect plenty of action. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-31-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Michigan -5 | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show | |
Michigan -5 The Wolverines are certainly in a nice spot here on Saturday in the Final Four. Michigan's defense is the difference maker here. This team is just about as lock down as you can get, as they can frustrate any given opponent. While Loyola is on quite the storybook run, they simply are going to be overmatched here in this one. The Wolverines concede just 63 points per game, one of the top marks in the entire nation. Turning defense into easy offensive buckets, look for the pressure to be too much for the Ramblers to handle here. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Wolverines are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay the points here. Michigan is the better overall team and will have little issue with Loyola in this spot. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-30-18 | Pelicans v. Cavs -3.5 | 102-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Cleveland -3.5 The Cavaliers are certainly making things look better for themselves with the season winding down. Cleveland has put together a nice run here and they matchup well here at home against the Pelicans on Friday night. Cleveland will face one of the worst defenses in the NBA. New Orleans concedes over 111 points per game and they constantly are giving up open looks both inside and out. With Cleveland's pace and number of playmakers, this is a spot where the Cavs can really pick up the tempo and put a lot of pressure on early. New Orleans will be on their heels all night long on the defensive end. Some trends to note. Pelicans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Lay the small number here. Cleveland is going to be too much and cause too may issues for this Pelicans team. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-29-18 | Penn State -4 v. Utah | 82-66 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
Penn State -4 The Penn State Nittany Lions have been tremendous in the NIT thus far, and I don't see that changing in the final game here. Penn State is the much better defensive team in this matchup. They rank in the top 20 overall on the year in defensive efficiency, and in the second half of the season they rank in the top 14. Utah played in a very weak Pac 12. The Utes haven't been battle tested as much as Penn State, and I feel the Utes have less high end talent than the Nittany Lions. Utah doesn't have the same kind of potential to get hot from the outside that Penn State does. Penn State should have been in the NCAA Tournament. They are out to prove it by winning the NIT here. I think they'll make their point loud and clear in the finals. Back Penn State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-28-18 | Mavs v. Lakers -7.5 | 93-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Lakers -7.5 The Lakers laying the points here is a nice move on Wednesday night. Los Angeles is certainly in a down year, but for the expectations they had, they are certainly performing at a nice level. Offensively, this team is very difficult to contain. With the youth they have, they have really pushed the tempo and been able to keep some opposing defenses off balanced. LA has averaged nearly 110 points per game as they have a complement of shooters to go along with their interior game. Dallas meanwhile, will simply struggle to keep up here. This Mavericks offense has been on a down for a few seasons in a row now, as they simply do not have many weapons. Some trends to note. Lakers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Lakers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Dallas is just 9-27 on the road this season. Lay the points with the home side. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-27-18 | Bucks +3 v. Clippers | 98-105 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks +3 The Bucks grabbing points here in this post have value on Tuesday night. Milwaukee takes on a Clippers team that knows time is running out them, which is certainly never a good thing in terms of playing under pressure. Los Angeles still sits 2 games back of a playoff spot and will stop home for a quick minute here, before heading right back on the road. Situationally, this will not be an easy mental game for the Clippers. Milwaukee is also just a tough team to handle. Offensively they have just so many weapons and have put up 106 points per game this season. They'll have a chance a lot of easy looks here, as Los Angeles boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA. Some trends to note. Clippers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Clippers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win. Grab the points in this one as the visitors are the better team and are playing much better as a whole. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-26-18 | Lakers v. Pistons -4.5 | 106-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Detroit Pistons -4.5 The Detroit Pistons are fighting hard to the end. I like the way this team is playing defense of late. They aren't giving up despite having virtually no shot at getting to the playoffs. Detroit ranks in the top five in the NBA in defense in their last 8 games. The Lakers enter this game badly beaten up. Brandon Ingram is unlikely to play here and Julius Randle might miss this one as well. Both of those guys have been huge for this team this season. Isaiah Thomas is expected to miss this game as well. Thomas has been a pretty good option on offense for the Lakers since joining the team. Lonzo Ball is a very good player, but he isn't a scorer first, and he has to try to be that when all the rest of these guys are banged up. The Pistons defense should win them this one and get the cover. Back Detroit. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-25-18 | Duke -3 v. Kansas | 81-85 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Duke -3 The Blue Devils laying the points here have value on Sunday afternoon. Duke has proved a lot here throughout this tournament, as they are a lot to handle on both sides of the floor. Offensively, they can hoist it from anywhere. This team has a surplus of weapons, which really puts the pressure on opposing defenses. With that, they can score in flurries and turn a close game, into a blowout really quickly. On top of that, this defense is suffocating. They have been able to really put the clamps down on shooters, as their height and length is just too much for opposing shooters. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games. Lay the points here. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-24-18 | Florida State v. Michigan -4.5 | 54-58 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 47 m | Show | |
Michigan -4 The Wolverines laying the points here are a nice move for us on Saturday night. Both of these teams deserve a lot of credit as they've had to grind their way to get here. However, this one comes down to the pace and defensive play of the Wolverines. They have been able to dictate things from the outset in almost every game dating back to the Big Ten Tourney. They like to slow things down and really take teams out of their element almost. They'll make them extremely uncomfortable and shake their rhythm, something not a lot of teams are able to too. Along with that, Michigan is just too deep for this Florida State team. They can hit you with so many different weapons on both sides of the floor, both inside and out. Look for that to be the major key here, as they can create a lot of open looks on the offensive end, while not giving up anything easy on the defensive side. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Wolverines are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay the points. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-24-18 | Hornets v. Mavs OVER 214.5 | 102-98 | Loss | -102 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Hornets vs. Mavericks over 214.5 The Charlotte Hornets showed they are capable of some huge things on the offensive end with their amazing 140-79 shellacking of the Grizzlies in their last contest. They aren't going to score 140 here, but I do think their offense should get going pretty well here against a Mavericks defense that doesn't care right now. The Mavericks are typically known for solid defense, but this is a team that is looking to tank right now, and that is a recipe for some bad defense. They'll continue to try on offense, but the defensive intensity drops down in a big way. Charlotte has pushed the tempo much more of late. The Hornets rank in the top five in the league in pace of play in their last 10 contests. An up and down game where both teams get a lot of easy looks. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-24-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Kansas State UNDER 126.5 | 78-62 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
Loyola vs. Kansas State Under 126.5 This number is low for a reason. With the way both teams play on the defensive side of the ball, this Under makes a lot of sense. The Wildcats in particular have been in absolute lock down mode lately. Kansas State has got this far with their interior defense not allowing anything easy in the paint and they have been in the face of every single shooter. Overall on the season, the Wildcats are giving up just 66.7 points per game, one of the best marks in the nation. Loyola has been up to the challenge as well. They have conceded 62.6 points per contest and they too are a team that won't give anything open to opposing shooters. Look for this pace to be extremely slow, given how both teams are so physical and in your face. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-23-18 | Texas Tech v. Purdue -1.5 | 78-65 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 22 m | Show | |
Purdue -1.5 The Boilermakers have been forgotten by some after Isaac Haas went down, but this is not a team to count out by any means. The depth of the Boilermakers is certainly there and this team showed that off against Butler in their Round of 32 win. Purdue utilized a lot of different weapons and had many different players step up, both inside and out. Purdue matches up well with Texas Tech here, who will struggle with this defense. The Boilermakers give up just 65 points per game, allowing almost nothing easy. They have the height and speed to really give opposing offenses fits. Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Red Raiders are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. This is just simply a mismatch. Look for Purdue to really cause a lot of issues for the Red Raiders on both sides of the ball. Back Purdue. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-23-18 | Celtics +6.5 v. Blazers | 105-100 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics +6.5 The Boston Celtics are still a solid defensive team, and for them to be catching seven points in Portland is just too many. Portland is coming off a big game against Houston where they came up just short in a big game. With the Celtics missing so many stars, I think this is less of a game that Portland will have circled. Portland definitely wants to get out with a win, but the margin is the question mark here. The Celtics still have the best defensive efficiency rating in the NBA for the season. Boston isn't a team that is going to lose by large margins very often. Brad Stevens is unquestionably one of the best coaches in the NBA. He's also led his teams to be great against the number on the road. Portland is the better team in their current standing, but this line is too high. Back the Celtics. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-23-18 | Syracuse v. Duke -11.5 | 65-69 | Loss | -103 | 21 h 4 m | Show | |
Duke -11.5 The Blue Devils take on one of the more shocking teams in this tournament on Friday night. Syracuse was believed to not even deserve a spot, yet here they are in the Sweet 16. However, they run into this Duke team that they simply cannot keep up with. The Blue Devils offense is just going to be overwhelming for the Orange. Syracuse has dominated with their zone defense, but seeing Duke here is not a welcoming sight. The Blue Devils can shoot Syracuse right out of this zone, as they aren't afraid to hoist it up. Along with that, they are deep, something the Orange can't match. Duke can beat you with so many weapons from behind the arc as they have so many options. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Blue Devils are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lay the points here. This is just not a good matchup for Syracuse. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-23-18 | West Virginia v. Villanova OVER 152 | 78-90 | Win | 100 | 45 h 1 m | Show | |
West Virginia vs. Villanova Over 152.5 The only way West Virginia can win this game is to press and create turnovers which keeps this game being played at a frenetic pace. The Mountaineers are better than anyone else in the country at forcing turnovers and turning those in to quick points on the other end. The Mountaineers half-court defense is actually worse than it's been in previous seasons. Villanova has easily been the best offense in the country this year. The Wildcats average 1.27 points per possession. Villanova has so many different guys who can beat you on any given night. This team shoots a ton of three pointers, but they have five guys who shoot at least 39% from three point range. Both Villanova and West Virginia are weaker defensively than we normally see from these programs. Both have the best offensive team they've had in recent history this year. Look for a tight high scoring game. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-22-18 | Florida State v. Gonzaga OVER 152 | 75-60 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
Florida State vs. Gonzaga Over 152.5 Both Florida State and Gonzaga want to push the tempo. This game should be played in transition for the majority of the game. Gonzaga is solid on defense, but they aren't dominating on that end as they were a year ago. This year's Gonzaga team is actually better on the offensive end than last year's squad. Florida State has had some excellent defensive teams over the years, but this is not one of them. Florida State was last in the ACC in 3 point field goal defense. They have also struggled when it comes to grabbing defensive rebounds. That's key here because Gonzaga is great at creating second chance opportunities. The Bulldogs also have multiple long-range shooters who can get hot. Look for both teams to be aggressive in transition which should lead to plenty of free throw attempts in this game. This number is a few points too low. Back the over Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-22-18 | Texas A&M v. Michigan UNDER 136.5 | 72-99 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Texas A&M vs. Michigan Under 136.5 Expect a lot of defense here when the Aggies and Wolverines meet on Thursday night. This stems a lot from Michigan's play. The Wolverines on the defensive side are just so talented and tough to solve. Michigan has given up just 63 points per game this season and they have been absolutely been dominant on the this side of the floor. They suffocate shooters and allow nothing in the paint as they are just so physical. The Aggies are the same way. They wore down UNC with their pressure and really never allowed them to get in any rhythm. Combine that with Michigan's tempo and they matchup well here. Some trends to note. Under is 5-1 in Wolverines last 6 non-conference games. Under is 5-1 in Aggies last 6 vs. Big Ten. Expect a lower scoring game here. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-22-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Nevada -1 | 69-68 | Loss | -106 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
Nevada -1 The Nevada Wolfpack have gotten here in impressive fashion with two massive come from behind victories. This is a team that plays only 6 guys and they were supposed to be at a disadvantage against Cincinnati because of that. Cincinnati lead by 22 points with less than 11 minutes left in the game, and Nevada stormed back to win. This Nevada team has to have a lot of confidence right now. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers have won two games with last second shots. This team is a great story, and they are a solid team, but they haven't played as difficult of a schedule as Nevada. Loyola has the one nice win at Florida in the regular season, but other than that, they played in a league that is way down from where it's been in past season. Nevada has more talent, and I think they have had enough time to rest to be well-prepared for this Sweet 16 matchup. Back Nevada Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-21-18 | Nuggets v. Bulls OVER 222 | 135-102 | Win | 100 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
Denver vs. Chicago Over 222 Anytime the Nuggets are involved, you can expect a game with crazy pace. Here, they take on the Bulls, a game where both teams are going to be extremely aggressive with their offensive styles. Looking at Denver first, the Nuggets offense is one of the fastest in the NBA. They average 110 points per game and really like to attack early in the shot clock. However, that certainly doesn't always bode well for them on the defensive side of things. Their pace offensively actually hurts them defensively, as they give up a lot of easy transition buckets the other way. With that in mind, this Bulls offense has the chance to really turn things up themselves here and attack quickly. That will sit well for this Over, as Chicago knows turning up the pace will really help them get some easy looks at the rim. Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Chicago. Over is 20-8 in the last 28 meetings. This has been an Over series. Look for that trend to continue. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
03-20-18 | Clippers +3 v. Wolves | 109-123 | Loss | -100 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
Los Angeles +3 The Clippers are in a nice spot here on Tuesday night. The Clippers have been a very underrated team in spots like this. They come into play on Tuesday 21-12-1 ATS on the road this year, playing extremely well on the offensive end. They have been able to keep up with almost any team, averaging 108.2 points per road contest. Minnesota is certainly vulnerable on the defensive end. The Timberwolves are giving up 107.6 points per game, as this young team has plenty of defensive breakdowns both with shooters and in the paint. This is a game where Los Angeles can certainly take advantage of that struggle on the defensive end as they like to push the issue and play with a lot of pace. Some trends to note. Clippers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Grab the points in this spot. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-20-18 | Mavs v. Pelicans UNDER 219.5 | 105-115 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Mavericks vs. Pelicans Under 219.5 The Dallas Mavericks offense has taken some big hits of late. Wesley Matthews and Dennis Smith Jr. are both down with injuries right now. The Mavericks aren't a team with a bunch of scoring options, and losing Matthews and Smith is too much for them to overcome offensively. New Orleans has gotten much better on defense with Okafor getting more time in the frontcourt. He's not a big factor on offense, but he's a great shot blocker and defensive rebounder. The Pelicans still play fast, but they aren't as good offensively and they are much better on defense than they were earlier in the season. This is a game that matters to the Pelicans. The Western Conference standings are a log jam, and they need this one. Dallas doesn't care here, but they just don't have the offensive firepower to justify this kind of a high total. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
03-19-18 | Warriors v. Spurs -6.5 | 75-89 | Win | 100 | 13 h 55 m | Show | |
San Antonio Spurs -6.5 The Spurs are in a nice spot here laying points against the Warriors on Monday. Golden State is really looking towards the future of this season here and not pushing anything when it comes to their stars. With Thompson, Curry, and Durant all down, the Warriors will look to just remain healthy almost in spots like these. They did just that against the Kings, as they dropped a home decision before heading into Phoenix and grabbing a victory. Still, this Spurs team is going to matchup very well against this thin Warriors team. San Antonio can really put the clamps down defensively and slow the pace here. That will certainly cause plenty of issues for what is now a younger looking Warriors team. Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Spurs are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Pacific. Lay the points here. Back San Antonio.

03-18-18 | Marshall v. West Virginia OVER 159.5 | 71-94 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show | |
Marshall vs. West Virginia Over 159.5 Marshall and West Virginia battle to cap the Round of 32 slate off and this Over here has value to play with. Marshall and West Virginia both attack early in the shot clock, which certainly helps the value here. Looking at the Thundering Herd first, they are averaging 84 points per game and they utilized a lot of tempo and quick attacks in their win over the Shockers. Look for them to really even push that tempo up more here, knowing what they'll get from the Mountaineers side of things. West Virginia is very similar to that. They have one of the best inside out games in the NCAA, as they will attack the rim and kick it out to a complement of shooters. They are just so tough to guard and should have plenty of success here against the Thundering Herd defense. Some trends to note. Over is 6-1 in Mountaineers last 7 overall. Over is 14-6 in Thundering Herd last 20 non-conference games. This is a nice spot here for both teams to get some easy looks. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-18-18 | Syracuse v. Michigan State UNDER 129.5 | 55-53 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Syracuse vs. Michigan State Under 129.5 The Syracuse Orange have been great in the NCAA Tournament by slowing the pace down and getting set up in their matchup zone. Syracuse is going to hustle back in transition and set up as quickly as possible to force Michigan State to shoot it over their zone pressure. As good as Syracuse has been on defense, the Orange are really weak on offense. Syracuse is very reliant on getting to the free throw line to be able to keep up. Michigan State is excellent in halfcourt defensive sets, and they don't foul very much at all. Michigan State is easily first in the nation in two point field goal percentage defense. While Michigan State is good on offense, it is their defense that is their biggest strength. Both teams are better on the defensive end, and I see a tough defensive battle coming here. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-17-18 | Ohio State v. Gonzaga OVER 143 | 84-90 | Win | 100 | 44 h 19 m | Show | |
Ohio State vs. Gonzaga Over 143 Two teams who aren't shy about hoisting shots up meet on Saturday. Here, this is a spot where both teams will attack and put up a lot of points. Ohio State completely changed the style of play in the Round of 64. Their style benefits the Over as they weren't shy about jacking up the three ball. The Buckeyes shot 40 three pointers as they didn't waste much of the shot clock on a regular basis. As for the Bulldogs, you know what you'll get from them. They run and gun and average well over 80 points per contest. This is a team that will get out in transition and force the Buckeyes to pick up the pace themselves. Given the style of play and the pace of play in this one, it's going to be quite the entertaining affair. Expect back and forth action all night long, adding a lot of value to this Over. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-17-18 | Buffalo v. Kentucky -5.5 | 75-95 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Kentucky -5.5 The Kentucky Wildcats didn't look great in their first game in the NCAA Tournament, but they did enough to win against a quality Davidson team. Kentucky didn't make a three pointer all game long. They won with some great defense and free throw shooting. The Buffalo Bulls pulled a massive upset on Thursday night in the late game against Arizona. They dominated that contest. That won't happen again here. Buffalo just won their first NCAA Tournament game in the history of the program. How can Buffalo bounce back after such a big win and be so good on a short turnaround? Buffalo isn't even close to as deep as Kentucky. The Bulls are unlikely to be able to get up the same way for this one, and I think this is a tougher matchup as well for them. Kentucky excels at defending the 3 point line, and Buffalo relies heavily on shooting from long range. This spread is too low now because of the public loving the underdog who pulled the big outright upset. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-17-18 | Rhode Island v. Duke -9.5 | 62-87 | Win | 100 | 39 h 50 m | Show | |
Duke -9.5 The Blue Devils looked like a team on mission in their opening game of the tournament and will have that sam motivation here against Rhode Island on Saturday night. Duke had no issues getting everything they wanted against Iona, as they attacked with authority and saw their shooters create a lot of open space. That is what makes this Duke team so tough to stop. They attack the rim and create a lot of open shots for their outside shooters. They'll have plenty of chances to do that here against Rhode Island, who really struggles at slowing teams down on the defensive end. Rhode Island has allowed the opposition to shoot 45% from the field this year, one of the worst marks in the NCAA. Duke has been a very profitable bet, going 21-11 ATS this season, which includes a cover over Iona in the Round of 64. They are playing with a ton of confidence and are going to be too much to handle for this Rhode Island team. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-16-18 | Kings +12 v. Warriors | 98-93 | Win | 100 | 23 h 55 m | Show | |
Sacramento Kings +12 This is the perfect spot for the Kings to pick off the Warriors on Friday night. Golden State has their share of injury issues and this is certainly a game where Golden State may overlook the Kings. The Warriors will for sure be without the presence of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, while Draymond Green will be reevaluated. Green has been battling a shoulder injury and should he even play, he won't be near 100%. The Kings were already able to take the Warriors in a similar situation as well this season. Back in November, Both Curry and Durant sat out in a game where the Kings played with so much aggression and confidence. Look for that mentality to play a huge factor on Friday. Some trends to note. Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Grab the points here. Back Sacramento. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-16-18 | New Mexico State v. Clemson UNDER 134 | 68-79 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
New Mexico State vs. Clemson Under 133.5 The New Mexico State Aggies have been really good on the defensive end this year. Chris Jans' background at Wichita State has led him to have tremendous defenses. This year is no different. New Mexico State has been really successful this year primarily because they are tremendous on the defensive end of the floor. Clemson's Brad Brownell is another defensive minded coach. Brownell was a great defensive mind at Wright State before coming to Clemson. This Clemson team ranks top ten in the country in defensive efficiency. They have lots of athleticism and length at multiple positions. Neither of these teams want to play quickly. They are looking to turn this into a grind it out halfcourt game. I expect a tight game the whole way, and the offenses should have a hard time finding open looks here. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-16-18 | Syracuse v. TCU UNDER 136.5 | 57-52 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
Syracuse vs. TCU Under 136.5 The Syracuse Orange slowed the pace down to only 60 possessions against the Arizona State Sun Devils in their win at Dayton two days ago. Arizona State played very fast over the course of the season, and Syracuse holding them to 60 possessions was quite the feat. Syracuse will once again look to slow the game down significantly. The zone that Syracuse plays is tough to speed the game up against. TCU has been a slow it down team in past years, but they played relatively fast this year. I think they'll revert back to playing slower in this one. The Syracuse offense has been a mess all year. They rely on getting to the line to score, and TCU doesn't foul very often. Expect Syracuse's disjointed offense to struggle to put together productive trips here. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-16-18 | Kansas State v. Creighton -1 | 69-59 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 4 m | Show | |
Creighton -1 The Blue Jays are in a nice spot here on Friday night in the Round of 64. Creighton's offense is going to cause a lot of issue for Kansas State here in this one. The Blue Jays are putting up 84.0 points per game as their pace of play is going to really give the Wildcats fits. The Blue Jays not only run at you, but also can dish it out to a compliment of shooters who can hit the 3 ball. Kansas State's slow style is not going to bode well for them. When they have become aggressive in the past and tried to pick the pace of play up, they typically force up some tough shots and turn the ball over. Look for that to be a huge key in this one. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 non-conference games. Wildcats are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big East. Speed will be the difference maker here. Back Creighton. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-16-18 | Marshall v. Wichita State -11.5 | 81-75 | Loss | -107 | 85 h 27 m | Show | |
Wichita State -11.5 The Shockers are just too talented here on Friday for the Marshall Thundering Herd. The huge edge for the Shockers comes from Marshall's defensive struggles. The Thundering Herd are allowing 80 points per game, as they lack any sort of stability both inside and out. This team has been burned by opposing shooters and from big men inside the paint. Going up against an experienced Shockers team is not going to be an easy task by any means either. Wichita State has become not just a top team within their conference, but also in the nation. They can hit you at so many angles, which will just be too overwhelming for Marshall. Some trends to note. Shockers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Conference USA. Lay the points here. The Shockers are the better team and have the experience factor on their side. Back Wichita State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-15-18 | Montana v. Michigan -10.5 | 47-61 | Win | 100 | 23 h 44 m | Show | |
Michigan -10.5 The Wolverines are in a nice situational spot here entering Thursday night. Michigan always tends to heat up around this time and it has held true once again as the tournament has approached. Michigan was an under the radar team during the regular season in the Big Ten, but blew by the competition en route to another title and now they have their sights set on much bigger things. Michigan always causes a lot of issues in this tournament and starting with Montana is the perfect spot. Montana just doesn't have enough firepower. The Wolverines should be able to really attack the bucket and get Montana on their heels. There are just too many weapons down low for this Michigan team. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Wolverines are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win. Lay the points. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-15-18 | Buffalo v. Arizona OVER 158 | 89-68 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 17 m | Show | |
Buffalo vs. Arizona Over 158.5 The Buffalo Bulls play at the fifth fastest pace in the country. Buffalo has talked about tempo all year, and they have made their fast tempo offense work in a big way. Nate Oates knows his team doesn't stand a chance if they play a slow halfcourt based game here. The Bulls have to get this thing moving. Arizona has shown a willingness to run at times this year. They have played several games to a very fast tempo. Buffalo should be able to get this one into a track meet. Arizona has mismatches all over the court, and I don't see the Buffalo defense slowing them down often at all here. On the other side, Buffalo's offense has been balanced all year. Arizona's defense is the worst defense they have had since Sean Miller took over as head coach of the program. They'll give up plenty of open looks here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-15-18 | San Diego State v. Houston -4 | 65-67 | Loss | -103 | 68 h 48 m | Show | |
Houston -4 The Cougars enter the tournament red hot here and have value laying this small of a number. Houston gave Cincinnati everything they could handle and more in the AAC Championship game that was decided by a late free throw with just a second to go. Houston is a team that just clamps down on the defensive end. They are giving up only 64.9 points per game, which is not just a top in the conference, but in the entire NCAA. They are right in opposing teams faces on the defensive end and allow nothing easy at the rim. This is a matchup where they can really utilize their defense and turn it into easy transition buckets the other way. The Cougars like to get out and run and will look to force turnovers on the defensive end and push the ball the other way. Some trends to note Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Cougars are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Houston is the better side here. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-15-18 | NC State v. Seton Hall -2.5 | 83-94 | Win | 100 | 14 h 8 m | Show | |
Seton Hall -2.5 The Seton Hall Pirates have a veteran bunch. They have lost in the first round in each of the last two years in the NCAA Tournament. They have talked in depth about not wanting to allow the same thing to happen this year. I think this team is fully focused and ready for this one. NC State uses some unique full court presses to junk up the game, but I think Seton Hall's guards are good enough to navigate through it and create some scoring opportunities. A huge key in this one is the rebounding battle. Seton Hall has Angel Delgado in the paint dominating on the glass, and the single biggest weakness for NC State through the year this year was their inability to grab a defensive rebound. Seton Hall should get tons of second chance points in this one. The Pirates are the more experienced team, and they should get the job done here. Back Seton Hall. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-15-18 | Oklahoma +2 v. Rhode Island | 78-83 | Loss | -104 | 61 h 31 m | Show | |
Oklahoma +2 The Sooners have a lot to prove here in their opening round matchup with Rhode Island. After sitting at #2 in the country at one point, Oklahoma completely fell off. They limped into the Big 12 tournament and found themselves bounced by the Cowboys. Oklahoma found their way in over the Cowboys still and a lot of people had questions surrounding the committee. It's no secret the Sooners are a flashy team with the nation's best player in Trae Young. Entering play on Thursday, Young has averaged a nation's best 27.4 points per game to go along with 8.8 assists. This is a Rhode Island team they can really beat with their physical play. Look for the Sooners to play with a ton of fire underneath them, as they'll be looking to go right at this defense. Some trends to note. Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Rams are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Grab the points. Back Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-14-18 | Arizona State -1.5 v. Syracuse | 56-60 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Arizona State -1.5 The Sun Devils have a clear cut advantage here on Wednesday night over Syracuse. Offensively, the Orange just can't keep up here. The Sun Devils are averaging 83.5 points per game this season, as they boast one of the best offenses in the nation. They just keep coming at you with their aggressive style of play and with how the Orange operate, this is just not a good matchup. Syracuse is putting up under 70 points per game and they lack any sort of offensive spark. They are very one dimensional and play with no urgency. That is not a good combo to have when taking on a team like ASU. Some trends to note. Sun Devils are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 90 points in their previous game. Sun Devils are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 games following a ATS loss. This is just too small of a number. Back Arizona State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-14-18 | Temple v. Penn State UNDER 144.5 | 57-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 59 m | Show | |
Temple vs. Penn State Under 144.5 Temple takes on Penn State on Wednesday night. This is an intrastate rivalry. Many times you have NIT matchups between teams who don't care very much about being in the tournament. That isn't the case in this game. Both teams should be motivated to want to beat the other team in this spot. Penn State's defense has been tremendous down the stretch. That's how they were able to beat Ohio State three times. The Nittany Lions are very physical, and I don't expect Temple to be able to get many looks against this Penn State defense. Temple's defense has been good most of the year as well. Penn State often settles for tough jump shots. If they aren't falling, Penn State can really struggle on the offensive end. This number is too high given the situation and motivation on both ends. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-13-18 | North Carolina-Asheville +18 v. USC | 98-103 | Win | 100 | 22 h 3 m | Show | |
UNC Asheville +18 The UNC Asheville Bulldogs should be extremely ready to play here. This is a team that almost never gets a chance to shine against a big name team. Here is their opportunity. The benefit for Asheville is it comes against a USC team that is clearly extremely disappointed to be playing in the NIT. USC doesn't want to be here. The Trojans didn't expect to be here. Teams like USC are very hard to back in the first round of the NIT. Yes, they have a big talent advantage, but motivation means more to me this time of the year than talent when it comes to the smaller postseason tournaments like the NIT. USC has already had multiple letdowns against weaker opponents this year. They lost at home to Princeton, who didn't even turn out to be a good team. They narrowly beat both North Dakota State and Nebraska Omaha at home. Grab the points here. Back UNC Asheville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-13-18 | St Bonaventure v. UCLA OVER 154.5 | 65-58 | Loss | -115 | 22 h 39 m | Show | |
UCLA vs. St. Bonaventure Over 154.5 This one should feature both teams really looking to get up and down the floor. With that in mind, this Over has a lot of value to work with. Both of these teams are very up tempo. Looking at UCLA first, the Bruins offered one of the fastest paces in the Pac-12 this season. UCLA averages 82 points and this team can beat you in so many ways. They attack early and often in the shot clock and have both shooters, along with an inside presence. St. Bonaventure is no pushover either. This team will match the pace and they saw their offense carry them to 13 wins in a row prior to their conference tourney loss. Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in Bruins last 5 non-conference games. Over is 23-9 in Bonnies last 32 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Expect this to be back and forth all night long. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-13-18 | Long Island +5 v. Radford | 61-71 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 10 m | Show | |
LIU +5 The battle of 16 seeds start the tournament off on Tuesday and grabbing the points in this spot is a nice move. This one can really go either way. Both teams come into this one red hot, but its LIU who is going to have the edge offensively. Radford has averaged well under 70 points per game this season, while LIU sits at 77 per contest. This is a game where they will certainly turn the tempo up and really look to get Radford out of their comfort zone early. Along with that, is far deeper. They are built with a team that has many weapons off the bench, which certainly gains a huge edge for them. Some trends to note. Highlanders are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. Blackbirds are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win. Grab the points here. Back LIU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-11-18 | Texas-Arlington +1.5 v. Georgia State | 61-74 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 34 m | Show | |
UT Arlington +1.5 The UT Arlington Mavericks are the most talented team in the Sun Belt. They didn't play up to expectations during the regular season, but this is a veteran team that peaked at the right time. They knocked off heavy favorite Louisiana in the semifinals yesterday. Georgia State has been a wildly inconsistent team throughout the course of the season. UT Arlington has an elite point guard in Neal, and he should be able to break down this Georgia State defense and kick it out to their shooters on the outside. Kevin Hervey wasn't completely healthy earlier this year, but he is at 100 percent for Arlington now, and he is arguably the most talented player on the floor here. The point spread is set largely due to how UT Arlington underachieved during the regular season, but I see them keeping the momentum going here and making the NCAA Tournament. Take UT Arlington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-11-18 | Kentucky +1 v. Tennessee | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Kentucky +1 The Kentucky Wildcats are playing their best basketball of the season right now. Kentucky is one of the most talented teams in the nation, and this is a team I don't want to get in front of right now. Tennessee has played well this year, and Rick Barnes deserves credit for the job he has done with the team to this point. Still, the Volunteers don't have the same kind of upside that the Wildcats do. This is a Tennessee team who won yesterday thanks to some of the hottest shooting numbers you'll ever see in their first half against Arkansas. Kentucky lost both regular season meetings with Tennessee this year. That isn't typical for Big Blue Nation, and Kentucky is going to be hungry for revenge and an SEC title here. I'll take the highly motivated team with much more talent. Take Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Orlando +11.5 The Magic are in a valuable spot here Saturday night. The Clippers come in on a back to back after a dominant performance on Friday night against Cleveland. Going from a high like that in a win over a top team to playing a team like Orlando here, this is a nice spot for the Magic to really pick off the Clippers. Look for Los Angeles to lose a little focus here and play with some fatigue, which will all benefit the Magic in this spot. Orlando also has the 3 point weapons to really give the Clippers issues. They have a lot of depth on the shooting side of things, which is a huge edge in this kind of spot. Some trends to note. Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Magic are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS loss. Grab the points here. Back Orlando. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

Arizona -2.5 The Wildcats laying this kind of number, in this spot, is a move for us on Saturday night. The Trojans have not been able to figure out the Wildcats as of late. They come into this one just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 head to head meetings and have dropped 4 straight overall. Arizona has looked like a team on a mission here after the rumors of Sean Miller started flying around about recruits. After those rumors were quickly dismissed, the Wildcats have seemingly rallied here and are playing with a lot of purpose entering the tournament. Their pace is going to be an issue for USC. Averaging 82 points per game, the Wildcats will look to get out and run, keeping the Trojans out of sync here. Some trends to note. Favorite is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Lay the small number here. Back Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-10-18 | West Virginia +1 v. Kansas | 70-81 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
West Virginia +1 The Mountaineers are worthy of a nice move here on Saturday against the Jayhawks. West Virginia is in a nice revenge spot here. The Mountaineers had some frustrating times in Kansas earlier this season, a game where they were less than pleased with some of the calls made down the stretch. West Virginia is playing at just a top level right now, as they're making plays on both sides of the floor. Their high pressured defense is forcing a lot of turnovers and tough shots for the opposition, which in turn is resulting in easy baskets the other way. Look for the Mountaineers to really turn things up a few notches here, especially early on. Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Mountaineers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Look for the Mountaineers to attack and try to force Kansas back on their heels early. With that in mind, this is a nice spot for them at this kind of number. Back West Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-18 | Oregon v. USC -2 | 54-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 38 m | Show | |
USC -2 The Trojans at this small of a number are worthy of a play here on Friday in the Pac-12 Semi Finals. USC and Oregon play very similar styles, however the Trojans have a couple key edges here in this one. It starts on the offensive end. The Trojans have more weapons, both inside and out, as they can rely on many options. Jonah Mathews stepped things up here as of late, putting in double figures in the Trojans opening win of this tournament. Their depth will play a huge factor here as they can go deep into their bench. Along with that, the Ducks have played with some fire. They've dug themselves some holes here the past few days. If USC can get out early, the pressure will certainly be an issue for the Ducks, battling fatigue. Some trends to note. Trojans are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games. Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Lay the small number. Back USC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-09-18 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Duke | 74-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
North Carolina +4.5 Earlier this year we backed Duke at home against the Tar Heels and it worked out in our favor. Here in the ACC Tournament, the Tar Heels with the points are nice move. Tournament play is a lot different. Teams really lay everything on the line and we see much more aggressive styles. UNC comes in off a huge win over Miami, a game where they really turned things up a few notches in the 2nd half. The Tar Heels offensive style is going to be the biggest key as they are in a nice rhythm right now. This is one of the few teams who don't mind turning games into a shootout, as they can keep up with Duke's speed. Some trends to note. Tar Heels are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Friday games. Grab the points here. Back North Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

Toronto Raptors +1.5 The Raptors are in a prime spot here on Friday night. They welcome in the Rockets, who continue to make quite the surge. Everyone has taken notice of the Rockets and this is a prime spot to fade them here. The public will be pounding the red hot Rockets at this number, but Toronto is not a team to go against when playing at home. The Raptors are a solid 27-5 SU this season in Canada, playing with extreme confidence in this building. They also matchup well with the Rockets, able to match the pace and physical play. Some trends to note. Raptors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. Raptors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. This is a nice spot to fade the public and grab the home side here. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

SMU +13.5 This is just too many points in this spot for SMU when they clash with Cincinnati. The Bearcats are one of the top teams in the nation, it's not secret. However, the Mustangs have the team to matchup with them. SMU's defense is going to be a huge key here. When playing Cincinnati, you're going to run into some tough offensive trips. The Mustangs can counter those trips the other way and really put the pressure on the Bearcats shooters. Look for them to be right up in the face of Cincinnati from the outset. On top of that, SMU is also deep. They have a lot of weapons that can put the ball on the floor and take it to the bucket. Their aggressive style is going to be a huge factor. Grab the points here. The Mustangs can keep this one close and really cause a lot of fits for Cincinnati. Back SMU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||

USC -6 This is a nice spot on USC here Thursday night in the Pac-12 Tournament. The Trojans simply are just too powerful for the Beavers to keep up in this one. USC enters play on Thursday averaging nearly 80 points per game, as this up tempo offense really likes to get out and push the ball. They attack early in the shot clock and have a nice inside out game that can really put opposing defenses on edge. They have also been a very profitable team this season. USC has gone 19-11 ATS and 4-0 ATS on a neutral court. Some trends to note. Trojans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Trojans are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Situationally, the Trojans have the significant edge. Look for them to really have Oregon State on edge all night. Back USC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-08-18 | Hawaii v. Cal-Irvine -4 | 67-68 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
UC Irvine -4 The UC Irvine Anteaters have the best defense in the Big West. The Big West Tournament is played at Honda Center in Anaheim where the Ducks play in the NHL. This is going to be a tournament where defense matters a lot. Hawaii has been wildly inconsistent this year. Hawaii's defense is only good when it forces large amounts of turnovers. UC Irvine has had plenty of time to prepare for this game, and I trust their coaching staff, which I believe is one of the most underrated in the country, to have a really good game plan ready for this contest. UC Irvine has more experience on their team, and this time of the year experience matters quite a bit. Their top players have been around for some of the recent runs that Irvine has had. Hawaii is led by youngsters. It's also important to note Hawaii struggled badly away from their home court this year. UC Irvine has the home edge here with the game in California. Back UC Irvine. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-08-18 | Suns v. Thunder -10 | 87-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City -10 The Thunder are worth a nice move here on Thursday night. Oklahoma City has a real chance to make some nice moves here in the standings, as they approach a favorable spot in the schedule. They matchup very well here with the Suns, who simply put it are horrendous on the defensive end. The Suns are giving up an average of 113.3 points per game this season, which is one of the worst marks in the NBA. Oklahoma City dropped a 124 spot on them earlier this month and should have zero issues here with them at home. This will be a game where they can attack early and often and really put their foot on the gas. Some trends to note. Suns are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Lay the points here. Back Oklahoma City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-08-18 | Northern Colorado v. Weber State +2.5 | 80-55 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Weber State +2.5 The Northern Colorado Bears have had a nice year, but Weber State is the team with more experience and higher end talent. Yes, Weber State ended the season on a slump, but this is a whole new season here. The winner of the Big Sky Tournament goes dancing. Weber State is very capable of winning this tournament. Northern Colorado is built up right now compared to Weber State because of recency bias. This is a team that plays solid defense, but they lack elite scoring options in tight games in the closing minutes. Weber State has the best coach in the conference in Randy Rahe, and they have a balanced team. Weber State has a stretch four to spread the floor out, and they have shooters at many positions. They are always one of the best defenses in the conference. Experience and high end talent should win out in the Big Sky in this contest. Back Weber State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-07-18 | Cavs v. Nuggets OVER 230.5 | 113-108 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
Cleveland vs. Denver Over 230.5 This total is high, but it is certainly valuable here on Wednesday night. The Cavaliers and Nuggets are two teams that play with extreme tempo. We saw that this past weekend in Cleveland, when both teams played a game that featured almost no defense. What Denver has proven to the league is that this offense can compete with any of the top teams in the NBA. Denver put up 126 points in a win over the Cavaliers, as they can shoot the ball from anywhere on floor. Cleveland is very similar in terms of their style, as they show no hesitation when it comes to attacking early in the shot clock. Some trends to note. Over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings. Over is 14-3 in Nuggets last 17 overall. Grab this Over here. Both teams are going to play in another entertaining one, with plenty of easy and quick looks at the bucket. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play | |||||||
03-07-18 | Fordham v. George Washington UNDER 131.5 | 72-78 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 28 m | Show | |
Fordham vs. George Washington Under 131.5 These are two bad teams who meet in the first round of the A10 Tournament on Wednesday. Fordham has the worst offense in the Atlantic 10, and it isn't even close. The Rams have been a mess all year, and they have put up some ugly shooting numbers away from home. They obviously aren't at home here. George Washington was putting up some nice offensive numbers at home late in the season, and that's why the number has gotten as high as it has here. George Washington isn't the same team on offense away from home. This is a battle between two teams who don't want their season to end, so I would expect a slower pace than is typical for these two teams. A slow pace and some sloppy offense should be the name of the game in this one. Low scoring all the way. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-07-18 | Notre Dame v. Virginia Tech +2.5 | 71-65 | Loss | -106 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech +2.5 The Hokies grabbing points here on Wednesday is a valuable move. The Fighting Irish tournament hopes are lingering here, as they were said to have just a 4% chance of making it off the bubble heading into action on Tuesday. They were nearly upset in the first round by the Panthers, who simply were horrendous this season, failing to win a conference game. That spoke volumes on where Notre Dame has been and this is not a good spot for them. Virginia Tech has already taken down ND once this season, on the road. Along with that, this Hokies offense is just too powerful. They average over 80 points per game and should be able to really expose this Notre Dame defense, who will be playing with fatigue as an issue. Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Atlantic Coast. Grab the points here. Back Virginia Tech. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-07-18 | Oklahoma v. Oklahoma State | 60-71 | Loss | -103 | 17 h 49 m | Show | |
Oklahoma PK The Sooners enter play on Wednesday night scuffling a bit, but with the best player in the nation on their side here, this is a nice spot. Oklahoma should be a tournament team, but their recent struggles have them with a few questions surrounding them. This is a spot to remove all doubt and show the committee they belong in the tournament. Oklahoma is certainly going to come out with fire here and this is a Cowboys team they can pick apart. The Cowboys have dropped 8 of the last 11 to the Sooners and they may not have enough firepower to keep up with the Sooners offense. The pace of play should really throw them off in this one. Oklahoma likes to get out and run, which will have the Cowboys on their heels all night. Some trends to note. Cowboys are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. Cowboys are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. Look for Young and company to really play some inspired ball here to start things off. A win here pretty much solidifies their spot. Back Oklahoma. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-18 | CS Sacramento v. Portland State -6 | 67-71 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 14 m | Show | |
Portland State -6 The Portland State Vikings were beaten twice by the Sacramento State Hornets during the season. Sacramento State was one of the worst teams in the conference. Portland State is a high quality team who showed their upside early in the year when they beat Cal by 25 points on the road. They also led Duke at halftime. Portland State is clearly the better team here. The Vikings lost twice during the regular season. The old saying it is hard to beat the same team 3 times in the same season isn't necessarily true in all cases, but when the better team has lost both of the regular season- I believe it applies. Sacramento State did a lot of damage on the inside in the first two meetings. Look for Portland State to have a better defensive game plan coming into this one. The Vikings get revenge and keep move on in the Big Sky Tournament. Back Portland State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-06-18 | BYU +9.5 v. Gonzaga | 54-74 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
BYU +9.5 The Cougars catching this many points here is certainly valuable in the WCC Championship. BYU upset St. Mary's on Monday night, as they showed off how versatile and deep they are. In the 2nd half, the Cougars really utilized their aggressive style, attacking the rim at all costs. They'll have a chance to do that here against Gonzaga as well. The Bulldogs are a team that doesn't have much of an interior presence. They can beat beat off the dribble and opposing teams can get to the rim and get clean looks. Along with that, BYU just comes in with a ton of confidence. They'll attack early on here and really try to get Gonzaga out of their game. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Bulldogs are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a ATS win. Grab the points here. Back BYU. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-05-18 | San Francisco v. Gonzaga -12.5 | 60-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -12.5 The Bulldogs laying the points here is a nice move on Monday night. Gonzaga typically turns things up here when March approaches. This team is by far the best in the WCC and they have some real potential here to make some moves deep into the tournament. The Bulldogs have won 15 straight WCC and have taken down San Francisco 13 straight overall. This is just not a good matchup here for San Francisco, who struggles with keeping up, as they average under 70 points per game. Some trends to note. Dons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Monday games. Dons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Gonzaga is averaging 87 points per game this season. They should be able to run wild here on the Dons. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-04-18 | Knicks -2.5 v. Kings | 99-102 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
New York Knicks -2.5 The Knicks laying the 2.5 here is a nice move on Sunday night. This is more of a fade Sacramento play really. The Kings are a struggle in just every facet of the game. Sacramento enters play off another horrific performance, as they put up just 91 points against the Jazz. The Kings shot just 38 percent from the field and buried themselves early, something that has become a common theme. Sacramento has been notorious for slow starts and tyically have found themselves in huge holes early on. New York’s offense is going to be the key here. They should be able to attack and find a lot of success here against this Kings defense that is one of the worst in the NBA. The Knicks will be able to expose the flaws here of the Kings. Given that, laying the small number is worth the move. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-04-18 | Tulane v. UCF OVER 131.5 | Top | 51-60 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Tulane vs. UCF over 130.5 The Tulane Green Wave push the pace more than anyone in the American Athletic Conference. Tulane will try to get a fast paced game going against UCF here. UCF's defense is good, but they aren't nearly as good as their yearly defensive numbers look. The Knights are without their main man in the middle Tacko Fall. Fall has an 8 foot wingspan, and he changes the game in a massive way. Without him, this defense slips a bunch. The UCF Knights offense is good at getting to the free throw line. All year long a major weakness for the Tulane defense has been defending without fouling. UCF should get to the line early and often here. Neither team has much of anything to play for here other than pride. They are likely primarily looking to get into the American Athletic Conference Tournament and try to make a little noise. This total is too low. Back the over. Sunday CBB Rare 10* O/U Play | |||||||
03-03-18 | North Carolina v. Duke -7 | 64-74 | Win | 100 | 20 h 52 m | Show | |
Duke -7 Revenge is on the minds of the Blue Devils here, who are worth laying the points. Duke comes into this one on Saturday following a touch loss to Virginia Tech last time out, as they have endured some unexpected hiccups on the season. Another one of those hiccups came from the hands of the Tar Heels, who beat them in UNC earlier this season. This is the perfect spot to gain some revenge on the Tar Heels. Duke has just been absolutely dominant in home situations. Duke comes into this one 14-1 in home situations, averaging 88 points to just the 63 they are giving up. They really turn things up and turn the pressure up on opposing teams, as it is simply never easy to come into Duke. They have also played well against UNC despite losing earlier this season. Duke enters Saturday winners in 6 of the last 9 in this series. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Blue Devils are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Lay the number here. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-03-18 | Louisville v. NC State -3 | Top | 69-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 44 m | Show |
Nc State -3 The Wolfpack laying this low of a number here on Saturday has great value. Louisville comes in just on an absolute low. The Cardinals had a win over #1 Virginia in hand on Thursday night, looking like the marquee win they needed to secure a bid in the NCAA Tournament. However, a late bizarre ending, resulted in a Cavaliers buzzer beater ultimately putting a dagger in Louisville. They come in with no momentum and simply have all the pressure on now. Nc State has been one of the toughest teams to figure out at home this season as well. With a 15-3 SU record in home situations, the Wolfpack are putting up 88 points per game, a pace that not a lot of teams can keep up with. Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Atlantic Coast. Wolfpack are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games. Lay the small number here. Louisville has to feel defeated and going up against a team like this is not going to help. Back Nc State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY | |||||||
03-03-18 | Weber State -3 v. Montana State | 95-92 | Push | 0 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
Weber State -3 The Weber State Wildcats have lost three straight games. This is one of the better smaller school programs in the country, and they aren't used to this kind of struggle. I expect them to turn it around here against a lesser opponent. Weber State is a team that is fully capable of winning the Big Sky Tournament. They likely want to get back on the right foot here to get some positive momentum going before they get into that tourney. Montana State has had a terribly disappointing season. They have been embarrassed consistently of late. They haven't shown any signs of life against the top teams in the league. I don't see why they would here either. Their defense has been dreadful. Look for Weber State's offense to have their way here as they finish the season a winner. Take Weber State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-03-18 | Clemson v. Syracuse UNDER 124.5 | 52-55 | Win | 100 | 5 h 35 m | Show | |
Clemson vs. Syracuse Under 124.5 The Clemson Tigers and Syracuse Orange are both excellent defensive teams. They are also both teams who can go through some long droughts on the offensive end. Clemson likes to play relatively slow, and Syracuse ranks in the bottom ten in the nation in pace of play this season. Clemson is looking to finish the season strong and get a solid seed in their return to the NCAA Tournament. Syracuse is fighting to try to get back into the NCAA Tournament right now. This game means a lot to both teams. Syracuse's zone should bother Clemson without Grantham (injured). The Tigers offense has been far less efficient of late. Look for a game played in the halfcourt with lots of tough shots for each team. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
03-02-18 | Mavs v. Bulls +1.5 | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Chicago +1.5 The Bulls getting any sort of points here is worth a play on Friday night. The Mavericks enter Friday one of the worst road teams in all of the NBA. Dallas has gone just 7-23 SU, averaging just a bit over 100 points per game in these situations. This team has really struggled as a whole gaining any sort of steam of stability for that matter this season. As for Chicago, returning home is a huge plus for them. While this has clearly been a rebuild season for them, the Bulls have gone 3 games over .500 ATS at home and have just played a better portion of their better basketball at home this year. Some trends to note. Bulls are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 Friday games. Bulls are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Situationally, the Bulls have played very well. This is a nice spot on them to really put the brakes on their losing ways. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
03-02-18 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State | 71-72 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
Youngstown State PK Youngstown State and Cleveland State clash in the Horizon League tourney on Friday night. Here, the Penguins have the value given how poor this Cleveland State offense is. The Vikings are averaging only 68.4 points per game this season, as they just lack any sort of spark offensively. This team is very one dimensional and struggles with getting open looks at the rim on a consistent basis. Youngstown State can play through Cameron Morse, who is averaging 15.5 points per game this season. Look for him to be a huge difference maker here, as he comes in off a 20 point performance against the Vikings this last time out. Some trends to note. Vikings are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 Friday games. Vikings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. This is a nice spot on YSU. Back Youngstown State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Ohio State -2.5 The Buckeyes are in a nice revenge spot here against Penn State in the Big 10 Tournament on Friday night. Penn State has been the only team in the Big 10 to give Ohio State issues. The Nittany Lions took down the Buckeyes in both meetings this season, once at the buzzer in Columbus and the other time being in blowout fashion. Ohio State is still an all around better team and playing in the Big 10 Tournament has been very successful for them. The Buckeyes have won the past 2 Big 10 Championships when coming in as the #2 seed and this year they are playing with extreme confidence. Look for them to come out aggressively here against a Penn State team that should endure some fatigue issues. Ohio State should be able to attack the rim here and really put Penn State on their heels early. Back Ohio State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
03-01-18 | Idaho State v. Montana State OVER 149 | 101-78 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
Over 149 The Idaho State Bengals and Montana State Bobcats have been subpar this year. Montana State was supposed to be a quality team, but they haven't been. They don't play any defense. Idaho State is typically a team that is mediocre or bad and they are in that range again this year. There isn't much for these teams to play for in this one. Idaho State has been shooting the three point shot extremely well in recent games. Montana State has sped up their pace in recent contests. Neither of these teams are any good on defense. There isn't much to suggest this game would be low scoring. There is a lot pointing toward a high number here. The lack of motivation combined with the bad defense and quality offenses is enough for me. The Big Sky is a great conference for offense, and we'll see plenty of offense here. Some trends of note, the Over is 4-1 in Bengals last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 6-0 in Bobcats last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points and is 4-0-1 in Bobcats last 5 games following a straight up loss. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Indiana -7 Rutgers enjoyed a solid opening night against Iowa in the Big Ten Tourney on Wednesday, but run into a team that is just too talented for them here in Indiana on Thursday. The Hoosiers are just an overwhelming team. They are right in your face defensively and on the flip side, they can hit from anywhere on the floor. Indiana is averaging 9 points more than the Scarlet Knights this season and took it to them back at the beginning of February. The Hoosiers forced Rutgers into just 24.1% shooting from the field in a game where the Scarlet Knights managed just 43 points overall. This is a spot where the Hoosiers can really get Rutgers on their heels early and utilize that fatigue factor given Rutgers playing yesterday. Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. Hoosiers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Lay the points here. Back Indiana. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-01-18 | 76ers v. Cavs OVER 222 | 108-97 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Philadelphia vs. Cleveland Over 222 The 76ers and Cavaliers offer two offenses that can really turn things up. Both of these teams really like to use tempo and attack early in the shot clock which certainly bodes well here for this total. Looking at Philadelphia first, this team is proving they can compete with the top teams in the NBA. The 76ers are putting up 108 points per game this season and their young core continues to flourish. What helps this Over out here as well is they are a team that likes to attack offensively, which in turn allows them to get beat in transition. On the flip side, Cleveland's new look has brought plenty of revived offense. They are fresh off a huge win over Brooklyn that saw them put up 129 points. Some trends to note. Over is 20-7-2 in Cavaliers last 29 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 4-1 in 76ers last 5 Thursday games. Expect plenty of scoring here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-28-18 | Eastern Illinois v. Tennessee State UNDER 128 | 73-71 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Under 128 The OVC Tournament tips off late tonight. This year the OVC Tournament is in Evansville. It's a new arena for these kids, and new arenas are typically good for the under due to lower shooting percentages. That's a bonus because the primary reason to like this game is the sloppy offenses and excellent defenses. Both Eastern Illinois and Tennessee State turn the ball over constantly. That means a bunch of possessions with no shots, which is helpful for the under. Tennessee State is one of the best in the country at forcing turnovers, and Eastern Illinois is above averaging at forcing them as well. Neither of these teams are spot up shooting teams. They often get involved in games that are just ugly and low scoring. The last game between these two was 50-47 with an extremely slow tempo. This probably won't be that low, but it should be under the total. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
02-28-18 | Syracuse v. Boston College +1 | 70-85 | Win | 100 | 21 h 4 m | Show | |
Boston College +1 The Eagles, at home, are worthy of a play here. Boston College had their chance to put their name up there for an at large bid, but they missed out on a few key chances to grab marquee wins. They gave Miami everything they could handle, but came up just short. The silver lining there shows that the Eagles can at least compete with a top tier team. They catch the Orange in a nice spot here, as they have dropped back to back games. The Orange have continued to struggle offensively, as they simply do not have the weapons to keep up. Syracuse is averaging only 68 points per game this season, as they lack just any sort of spark. Some trends to note. Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Grab Boston College here. They have the home court advantage and have just an overall better offense. Back Boston College. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-28-18 | Pacers v. Hawks +4.5 | 102-107 | Win | 100 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
Atlanta Hawks +4.5 The Hawks catching points here has some value to work with on Wednesday night. Atlanta has been a struggle this season, but when playing at home, they've really remained close in games. The Hawks are 1 game above .500 ATS and they're averaging nearly 105 points per game in Atlanta. They've been able to really pick the tempo up and play with much more aggression, something they certainly benefit from. Indiana meanwhile, has struggled defensively on the road. Allowing 107 points per game away, the Pacers were knocked around by the Mavericks last time out. They just seem to be a different team when playing on the road, making this a nice spot for Atlanta to pick them off. Some trends to note. Hawks are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home. Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Atlanta is in a nice spot situationally here. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||

La Salle -3 La Salle takes on Dayton Wednesday and this is a nice spot to fade the Flyers. Dayton has just been horrific in this kind of spot. The Flyers are 0-6 ATS over their last 6 road games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 following an ATS loss. That has been the story for Dayton this season, as they have simply let losses really snowball and the road has not been kind to them. Dayton is just 1-9 on the road this season, getting outscored on average by nearly 10 points per game. Some trends to note. Flyers are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Flyers are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 vs. Atlantic 10. La Salle has certainly played a majority of their best basketball at home this season. Given the circumstances, this one makes sense.

Baylor -3 The Bears welcome in the Sooners on Tuesday and Oklahoma has completely tapered off here. The Sooners have the nation's leading scorer, but they have continued to struggle when it comes to putting together complete performances. They have dropped back to back games entering this one and have just looked sluggish. They escaped Baylor by 2 at home last time these two teams met, but they allowed 96 points in the process and proceeded to lose 6 straight following that game. The Bears meanwhile need every win they can get. Their tournament lives are certainly on the bubble, but playing at home has been extremely successful for them. Baylor is 13-4 in home situations and have outscored the opposition by 14 points. Some trends to note. Sooners are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games. Sooners are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. Oklahoma is just a mess right now. With Baylor needing wins, look for them to come out with some fire here. Back Baylor.

Oklahoma vs. Baylor Over 157 The Oklahoma Sooners got the tempo they wanted when they played Baylor in the first meeting. The game was 98-96 as they went up and down the whole game. Baylor's defense isn't as good as it has been in past years, so the Sooners should be able to score a lot again. Baylor has a big edge on rebounding. The Bears are a great offensive rebounding team, and Oklahoma will struggle to keep them off the glass. Second chance points will be key here. Baylor also has some guys shooting it well from 3 point range of late. Trae Young has been cold of late up until last game when he caught fire again. Young is a great player, and I don't think anyone in this Baylor backcourt can stay in front of him on a regular basis. Up and down again throughout this Big 12 contest. Back the over.

Oklahoma City -10 The Thunder are worth a move here on Monday night when they welcome in the Magic. It was a frustrating Saturday for OKC, who just got trounced by the Warriors in the 2nd half. This is the perfect spot to bounce back here. The Magic are just a mess on the defensive end. Orlando enters play on Monday allowing 110 points per game and actually sees that number jump to 111 points against when playing on the road. They simply do not have the speed or depth to slow anyone down and that won't bode well here against a Thunder team that is going to be looking to take out some frustrations. Oklahoma City is a solid 20-10 SU at home and putting up nearly 108 points per game. Some trends to note. Magic are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 Monday games. Magic are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. Western Conference. Lay the points here. Back Oklahoma City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-25-18 | Rockets v. Nuggets +5 | 119-114 | Push | 0 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Denver +4.5 The Nuggets are worthy of a move here on Sunday night when they welcome in the Houston Rockets. Denver has been a tough team to figure out at home for the opposition. The Nuggets enter Sunday a solid 24-7 SU inside the Pepsi Center and are 17-13-1 ATS in that span. Offensively, the Nuggets are putting up 110.8 points per game in home situations, as their tempo really picks up, pushing the ball and attacking the rim in transition. They'll see Houston without a key piece here, as Eric Gordon is doubtful for Sunday. That will give them a huge boost as Gordon is a key guy who helps the Rockets create a lot of open shots. Some trends to note. Rockets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Denver is going to push the issue here on Sunday. This is one team that can keep up with the Rockets pace, as they'll really be able to get out in transition and put the Rockets defense on their heels. Back Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-25-18 | Siena +7.5 v. St. Peter's | 48-65 | Loss | -106 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
Siena +7.5 The Siena Saints and St. Peter's Peacocks played a game that went into 3 overtimes and finished at 116 points a few weeks ago. Siena won that game by two points. With a low total and a slow tempo again, this is a lot of points for St. Peter's to be laying. St. Peter's is a quality team on defense, but their offense is one of the weakest in the country. I don't see how you could justify laying this many points with a bad offense in a slow paced game with a total set this low. Siena isn't a good team. This isn't really a bet on them. It is a bet against St. Peter's and it is grabbing a big number on the underdog. We'll bet the favorable price here and expect a tight game to the end. Take Siena. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-24-18 | Arizona v. Oregon -2 | 93-98 | Win | 100 | 20 h 31 m | Show | |
Oregon -2 The Ducks are in such a nice spot here on Saturday night. Oregon comes into this one with a bit of steam, as they knocked off the #25 team in the nation in Arizona State last time out. Oregon put up 75 points in the win, but it was their defense that certainly made the difference. The Ducks allowed just 65 points, as they have been one of the best in the conference at slowing teams. Also giving them value here is all the drama that unfolded on Friday in Arizona. Head coach Sean Miller was allegedly caught on wiretap offering money towards a recruit. The distractions are going to be huge here on Saturday for this team, giving Oregon a huge edge. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 5-15-2 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Wildcats are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games. Lay the points here. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-24-18 | Lakers v. Kings -1 | 113-108 | Loss | -102 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
Sacramento Kings -1 The Kings at this kind of number on Saturday are worthy of a move. This is certainly a fade Los Angeles spot. The Lakers are just 9-20 on the road this season, averaging a ridiculous 114 points against. That certainly doesn't bode well here, especially given the way the Kings shoot the ball. Sacramento is one of the most underrated teams when it comes to shooting the 3. They sit 2nd in the NBA, shooting at 38.3% clip from the field. Look for the Lakers to really struggle here because of that, as they simply do not close out on shooters well. Some trends to note. Kings are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. This is just too nice of a situational spot on Sacramento. Back Sacramento. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-24-18 | Wyoming +9.5 v. Fresno State | 78-68 | Win | 100 | 19 h 44 m | Show | |
Wyoming +9.5 The Wyoming Cowboys were blown out at home against Fresno State earlier this year. That was an 18 point loss after playing three straight overtime games. You can't blame Wyoming for being a little gassed after that kind of stretch of games. Fresno State took full advantage. Fresno State is a quality team, but Wyoming is better than the oddsmakers are giving them credit for here. This is a solid revenge spot on the road after being blown out in embarrassing fashion at home. Look for Wyoming to play with a lot of motivation in this one. Wyoming has one of the best defenses in the conference, and Justin James has had a really nice season in the backcourt. The Cowboys are coming off a game where they were upset at home by New Mexico, so there are multiple reasons to believe they will show up here. Back Wyoming. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-24-18 | Southern Illinois v. Evansville UNDER 131.5 | 44-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 48 m | Show | |
Southern Illinois vs. Evansville Under 131.5 The Southern Illinois Salukis go to Evansville in the Missouri Valley Conference regular season finale. Evansville lists point guard Dru Smith as doubtful here. Smith is the facilitator of this offense, and he averaged 13.4 points per game. If he doesn't play, it hurts the Evansville offense badly. Southern Illinois and Evansville both prefer to play at a very slow pace. Southern Illinois has been far less efficient on offense on the road in conference play. Evansville plays at an even slower pace to start with, and I think Dru Smith being out would make the tempo of the game slow down even more. The MVC is a league where the defenses rule and the offenses often struggle to get good looks. I don't see any reasons to expect anything different here. A game in the 120's should be expected. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
02-23-18 | Cavs -5.5 v. Grizzlies | 112-89 | Win | 100 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Cleveland -5.5 Bounce back is the name of the game for the Cavaliers on Friday night in Memphis. Cleveland showcased their brand new team for the first time at home on Thursday night and it was quite the underwhelming performance. Washington pulled away in the 4th quarter, as Cleveland went ice cold. Cleveland endured their first real tough stretch as a new team, but against the Grizzlies, things should pan out a little differently. Memphis just doesn't have enough firepower to keep up.They are averaging under 100 points per game, which puts them at one of the worst marks offensively in the entire NBA. They lack playmakers and struggle to get anything easy on the offensive end. Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Lay the points with Cleveland as they are just simply the better side here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-23-18 | Central Michigan v. Toledo OVER 155 | 76-89 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Central Michigan vs. Toledo Over 155 The Central Michigan Chippewas have historically been very good on offense and very bad on defense. The same is true again this season. Central Michigan's offense also likes to play quickly. Central Michigan will want to turn this into a track meet, and Toledo has shown willing to do that more this year than in the past. Toledo is amazing from long range. This team shoots better than 40% from beyond the arc. They have three or four guys who can light it up on any given night. Central Michigan and Toledo both do a great job taking care of the basketball. That's something really important when taking a higher over. These two teams don't waste possessions. Toledo's defense has been really bad all year, and they have been forced to win shootouts. More than half of their MAC games have gone over this high total. Now, they are matched up against a team playing even quicker than them. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB O/U Play | |||||||
02-22-18 | Gonzaga v. San Diego +12 | 77-72 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
San Diego +12 It is sometimes tough to go against the Bulldogs, but they have not been the force they have been in recent years. San Diego comes into this one a solid 17-11 on the season and this defense could give Gonzaga some issues. They're allowing just 65 points per game on the year and just 62.6 in home situations. That bodes well going up against this Gonzaga team as San Diego rarely allows any kind of easy looks. They'll certainly have their hands full, but their high pressured defense is going to cause a lot ofhavoc and potentially force some turnovers to a Bulldogs team that struggles with ball security at times. Gonzaga has also not been having those easy wins they've had in the past. This team is just 11-14-1 ATS on the year. They have shown they are a streaky team on both sides of the ball, really going cold at times, allowing teams to stay in games. Expect San Diego to really try and utilize their high pressured mentality here on the defensive end. Expect this one to be closer than a lot of people think. Back San Diego. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-22-18 | 76ers v. Bulls +7 | 116-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Chicago Bulls +6.5 The Chicago Bulls grabbing this many points is valuable in this spot on Thursday night. Chicago has actually been a sneaky competitive team, one that gets overlooked at times. The Bulls are 30-26-1 ATS on the season and they have been able to keep up with almost every team this season in their various matchups. It has stemmed from a few areas, but their ability to slow the game down and force teams into their pace has been the biggest key. Chicago is built with a roster of young guys, who really have gelled together this year. Offensively, they're putting up 103.3 points per game, which shows they have some scorers on their team that can attack the rim and make plays. Against a 76ers team here that struggles defensively, the Bulls should be able to get some open looks and keep pace. This is just too many points. The Bulls are a competitive team and with home court, look for them to have a chance to steal this outright. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play | |||||||
02-21-18 | St. John's +5 v. Marquette | 73-85 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 34 m | Show | |
St. John's +5 The Marquette Golden Eagles list Markus Howard as doubtful for this game. Howard is the team's leading scorer at 21.3 points per game. Howard is a significant loss, and while Marquette was able to win over Creighton last game, I think in the long run this injury hurts a great deal. St. John's is playing with extreme confidence right now. This team dealt with a bunch of injury issues earlier in the year, and they aren't even close to as bad as their record would indicate. They have proven that in wins against Duke and Villanova of late. St. John's is a scrappy team with a leader in point guard Shamorie Ponds who is red hot of late. Ponds should have no problem probing and chewing up this Marquette defense, which ranks worst in the league. Marquette is laying too many without their leader here. I'll grab the points with the hot team. Back St. John's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play | |||||||
02-21-18 | Michigan v. Penn State UNDER 135 | 72-63 | Push | 0 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
Michigan vs. Penn State under 135 The Penn State Nittany Lions need this game in a big way. Penn State is playing like a team that deserves to be in the NCAA Tournament, but the Nittany Lions don't have a particularly strong body of work. They need to build it up here with a win against a good Michigan team. Penn State has gotten much better on the defensive end with Josh Reaves back in the lineup. Penn State's defense stymied Ohio State last week. They'll look to do the same against Michigan here. Michigan slows the pace of the game down. They aren't going to let anyone turn a game into a track meet. Michigan will make this a halfcourt game. The Wolverines defense was a weakness last year, but they are much better this season. In a game that means a lot to both teams, this total is inflated. Look for the defenses to be strong. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |
