03-11-20 | Knicks v. Hawks OVER 230 | 136-131 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - KNICKS @ HAWKS TOTAL The Hawks are 20-12 ATS in all home games on the season and 5-2 SU and ATS as home favorites, including a 140-135 win over the Knicks on Feb 9. They've had a day off since defeating Charlotte in double overtime on Monday while the New York Knicks were in action last night when they took a 122-115 loss at Washington. The Knicks are 2-7 ATS when playing on back-to-back nights this season and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. I don't think the visitors will stand much of a chance in this one. Additionally, I also like the over as: Over is 6-2 in Knicks last 8 overall. Over is 18-8 in Hawks last 26 overall. Over is 15-7 in the last 22 meetings. Over is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings in Atlanta. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-11-20 | Hornets +9.5 v. Heat | 109-98 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - HORNETS @ HEAT The Charlotte Hornets are 7.5 games off a playoff spot, but that doesn't mean that they've stopped competing. The Hornets are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following an OT loss at Atlanta Monday night, and I like them to keep this within double-digits. While the Miami Heat are phenomenal home at American Airlines Arena, note that they're coming off a 100-89 triumph at Washington and they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. With the Hornets feisty against the spread run and the Heat in a letdown spot, taking the points on the visitors is a no brainer to me. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. | |||||||
03-11-20 | Knicks v. Hawks -4.5 | Top | 136-131 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 51 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks are 20-12 ATS in all home games on the season and 5-2 SU and ATS as home favorites, including a 140-135 win over the Knicks on Feb 9. They've had a day off since defeating Charlotte in double overtime on Monday while the New York Knicks were in action last night when they took a 122-115 loss at Washington. The Knicks are 2-7 ATS when playing on back-to-back nights this season and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. I don't think the visitors will stand much of a chance in this one. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. | |||||||
03-10-20 | Howard +6 v. South Carolina State | 70-63 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
TUESDAY NIGHT CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Howard Bison have won just three games all season and they took a 100-88 loss to Delaware State last time out. They're however 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home and I like them to keep it within the number as an underdog against South Carolina State in the MEAC Tournament Tuesday night. The Bulldogs are coming off five straight defeats, and they're just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Additionally, note that the last three meetings have gone to overtime, most recently a 101-95 South Carolina State win back in January. 8* play on Howard Bison. | |||||||
03-10-20 | Wolves +12.5 v. Rockets | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
NBA NO BRAINER - $20 TUESDAY SPECIAL The Minnesota Timberwolves own the second-worst record in the Western Conference and they've lost their last two games by an average of 13.5 points, but I like their chances of covering the number when visiting a slumping Houston team Tuesday night. The dysfunctional Rockets are not in a position to lay double-digits against any team in the league at the moment, coming off four straight defeats, most recently a 20-point loss to Orlando. Minnesota may struggle big time on the defensive end, but note that it has the 9th best scoring average in the league and Houston has found it hard to run up the score in recent games. 8* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. | |||||||
03-10-20 | Celtics v. Pacers UNDER 215.5 | Top | 114-111 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 17 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA) - TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER* The Boston Celtics have allowed just 102 points per game over their last two contests, but they still lost both averaging 95 ppg. Bad time to run into an Indiana Pacers team that boasts a top 5 scoring defense while holding opponents to 105.4 ppg home at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. One of the few teams playing better D than the Pacers are the Celtics, limiting opponents to 106.8 ppg overall on the season. The Celtics are 21-13 to the under in games with a total of fewer than 118 points. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
03-09-20 | St. Mary's v. BYU -4 | Top | 51-50 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The St. Mary's Gaels and the BYU Cougars have split two close games this season, but I like BYU to win and cover the spread in this West Coast Conference Tournament semifinal matchup in Las Vegas Monday night. The Gaels needed double-overtime to get past Pepperdine on Saturday while BYU put an 81-64 beating on that same Pepperdine team last time out on Feb 29. BYU should have plenty of energy saved up for this one while heavy legs could become an issue for the Gaels. The Gaels are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdog while the Cougars are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. 10* play on BYU. | |||||||
03-09-20 | Bucks v. Nuggets -5.5 | 95-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA NO BRAINER The Milwaukee Bucks own the best record in the league, but they travel to Denver as losers of two in a row and three of their last four. They took a 140-131 loss at Phoenix on Sunday, and I think they'll struggle here in the second leg of a back-to-back situation and to make things worse, the Bucks will have to do without MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). As for the Nuggets, while they've split their last six games, they've had a day of rest compared to their opponent and they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as a home favorite. Additionally, the Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 Monday games and 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings with the Bucks at Pepsi Center. 8* play on Denver Nuggets. | |||||||
03-08-20 | Heat -4.5 v. Wizards | 100-89 | Win | 100 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
HEAT @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BLASTER The Miami Heat fell to 13-19 on the road with a 110-104 loss at New Orleans Friday night. They're 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 games following a straight up loss and I like their chances of picking up a road win at Washinton on Sunday. At only 15-15 home at Capital One Arena, the Wizards have struggled to make the most of any homecourt advantage. Last time out Washington defeated Atlanta by six points, but it is just 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games following a straight up win. The Heat are 25-9-2 ATS in the last 36 meetings in the nation's capital; expect more success this Sunday. 8* play on Miami Heat. | |||||||
03-08-20 | Magic +9.5 v. Rockets | Top | 126-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 26 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NBA) - TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Houston Rockets have dropped three straight games following a nine-point loss as an 8.5-point favorite at Charlotte on Saturday. They're just 1-5 ATS in their last six games playing on zero days rest, and I think they're asked to cover way too many points in this matchup with Orlando. The Magic put a 132-118 beating on Minnesota last time out and they need all wins they can get as they're trying to hold on to a playoff spot in the East. Magic are 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings. Magic are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Houston. 10* play on Orlando Magic. | |||||||
03-08-20 | Connecticut -6.5 v. Tulane | Top | 80-76 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
TOP RATED NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY I like the Connecticut Huskies to come through as a favorite over the Tulane Green Wave in their AAC regular-season finale on Sunday. The Green Wave sit dead last in the conference at 4-13 while Connecticut owns a decent 9-8 record. The Huskies have closed out the season on fire, coming off four straight wins including a 77-71 upset win over Houston last time out. They've scored an average of 80 ppg during that winning streak while Tulane's offense is one of the worst in the nation with just 68.1 ppg on average throughout the season. While Connecticut was in action just three days ago, Tulane last played on Feb 29, a 74-67 OT loss to Memphis. I would not be surprised if the home team might take a while to get up to speed again, and by that time the Huskies should have already built up a sizable lead. UConn won the first matchup this year in Storrs 67-61, and I expect an even larger victory margin in this one. 10* play on Connecticut. | |||||||
03-07-20 | Kings v. Blazers OVER 230 | 123-111 | Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - KINGS @ BLAZERS The Sacramento Kings have split their last two games despite giving up 125 and 126 points respectively. Here they'll face a Portland team that took a 127-117 loss at Phoenix last time out and it is 3-1 to the over in its last four games. We saw a total of 243 points scored when these two teams clashed back in December, and I expect another run-and-gun type of game tonight. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-07-20 | UC-Davis +4.5 v. Cal-Riverside | 61-66 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 32 m | Show | |
SUPER LATE BIG WEST BOOKIE BLASTER - 10 PM ET START *BAILOUT PLAY* The UC Davis Aggies have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games, but they're 13-2 ATS in their last 15 as underdogs and I think they'll keep it within the number in this Big West matchup with UC Riverside Saturday night. The Highlanders are playing tremendous defense, but they do not put a ton of points on the board themselves and just like the Aggies, they tend to do better against the spread when catching points. Additionally, we can note that the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams. 8* play on UC-Davis. | |||||||
03-07-20 | 76ers v. Warriors OVER 226.5 | 114-118 | Win | 100 | 20 h 12 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - 76ERS @ WARRIORS The Golden State Warriors took a 121-113 loss to Toronto last time out, but it's not all doom-and-gloom in the Warriors camp at the moment. Steph Curry was back in action for the first time since suffering a broken hand on Oct. 30, and he contributed a team-high 23 points in 27 minutes. Here they'll host a Philadelphia team that is without star players Joel Embiid (shoulder) and Ben Simmons (back), but it still managed to defeat Sacramento 125-108 last time out. Each of the Sixers last four games has gone over the total, and I think this will be another relatively high-scoring affair. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-07-20 | North Carolina v. Duke OVER 152.5 | Top | 76-89 | Win | 100 | 12 h 34 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB) - TOP RATED ACC TOTAL The North Carolina Tar Heels have scored 85+ points in three straight games and they're 5-1 to the over in their last six. As for the Duke Blue Devils, they're coming off an 88-69 triumph over NC State and five of their last six games have gone over the total. Duke is 13-4 to the over in all home games on the season and 5-2 to the over when the total is 150 to 159.5 points. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-07-20 | Rockets v. Hornets OVER 221.5 | 99-108 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 46 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - ROCKETS @ HORNETS The Houston Rockets have allowed 120+ points in back-to-back games, both losses to NY Knicks and the LA Clippers. Over is 8-0 in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400, and the 21-41 Charlotte Hornets fit that bill. Charlotte has dropped three in a row but, it put up a decent performance offensively with 49 percent shooting from the field in a 114-112 loss to Denver last time out. It did allow Denver to shoot 51 percent though, and I expect both teams to put up plenty of points in this one. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-07-20 | UCLA +4 v. USC | Top | 52-54 | Win | 100 | 14 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED PAC-12 SIDE The red hot UCLA Bruins head into this contest riding a seven-game winning streak and they're 5-1-1 ATS during that stretch and winning four of those seven straight up as underdogs. On the season, the Bruins are 8-4 ATS as an underdog and I think they'll keep it close here in this Pac-12 matchup with the USC Trojans. Note that at 12-5, UCLA is battling Oregon for the Pac-12 title while USC is "only" 10-7 in conference play. The Trojans are coming off back-to-back wins, but they had lost two consecutive games prior to the current winning streak and they're 9-8 ATS as a favorite this season. 10* play on UCLA Bruins. | |||||||
03-06-20 | Missouri State -1.5 v. Indiana State | Top | 78-51 | Win | 100 | 13 h 11 m | Show |
TGIF MVC TOURNAMENT *TOP PLAY* The Missouri State Bears have covered the spread in seven of their last eight overall, the lone exception a blowout loss at Valparaiso. Last time out they put an 84-59 beating on Southern Illinois and they're 9-0 ATS after allowing 60 points or fewer this season. As for Indiana State, while the team is coming off four straight wins (3-0-1 ATS), note that it took a 71-58 loss to Missouri State in the last meeting on Feb 16. I like the Bears to come through in this Missouri Valley Conference quarterfinal matchup. 10* play on Missouri State. | |||||||
03-06-20 | Magic -2 v. Wolves | Top | 132-118 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show |
MAGIC @ WOLVES TGIF *TOP PLAY* The Orlando Magic will be looking to put an end to a three-game losing streak when visiting Minnesota Friday night. They've covered the number in five of their last six games overall and they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road favorite. They'll face a Timberwolves team that is just 8-22 SU home at Target Center and 1-6 ATS in its last seven games as a home underdog. Unlike Orlando who is currently holding down the No. 8 seed in the East, the Wolves season is all but over already, and I like the visitors to come through in this one. 10* play on Orlando Magic. | |||||||
03-05-20 | Raptors v. Warriors OVER 226 | 121-113 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Raptors who will be looking to build on the momentum of a 123-114 win at Phoenix. The triumph put an end to a three-game losing streak for the Raptors, and they need to go on a run to keep the other contenders at bay at the top of the division. As for the Golden State Warriors, while they've won two of their last three, the team they put on the floor those days lacks talent. Big letdown spot for the Warriors in this one following a 16-point win over Denver, and we can note that Golden State is just 4-8 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and 11-19 ATS in all home games this season. Additionally, note that over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-05-20 | Raptors -10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 121-113 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 44 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT RAPTORS @ WARRIORS *TOP PLAY* This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Raptors who will be looking to build on the momentum of a 123-114 win at Phoenix. The triumph put an end to a three-game losing streak for the Raptors, and they need to go on a run to keep the other contenders at bay at the top of the division. As for the Golden State Warriors, while they've won two of their last three, the team they put on the floor those days lacks talent. Big letdown spot for the Warriors in this one following a 16-point win over Denver, and we can note that Golden State is just 4-8 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and 11-19 ATS in all home games this season. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. | |||||||
03-04-20 | Wizards +7.5 v. Blazers | Top | 104-125 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Washington Wizards took a 133-126 loss at Sacramento last night. They're however 7-1 ATS in the second leg of a back-to-back set this season, and I think they're catching way too many points here against a Portland team that is 2-6 ATS in its last eight overall. Additionally, note that while the Blazers are coming off a 23-point win at Orlando, they're just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Washington Wizards. | |||||||
03-04-20 | Grizzlies v. Nets OVER 224.5 | 118-79 | Loss | -109 | 19 h 39 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK The energy levels in the Brooklyn Nets camp can't be all the high following a 129-120 OT win at Boston last night. I think the Memphis Grizzlies will make sure to drive up the tempo, forcing the Nets to run up and down the floor with them. Both teams rank in the top 10 for tempo (possessions per game) so playing slow is not the preference of either team anyhow. Over is 6-1 in Grizzlies last 7 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 4-1 in Nets last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-04-20 | Jazz v. Knicks UNDER 220 | 112-104 | Win | 100 | 19 h 31 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK Both the Utah Jazz and the New York Knicks are playing at a tempo that ranks in the bottom third of the league. Additionally, while the Knicks are coming off back-to-back 125 point games, note that they're 28th on the season at just 105.4 ppg on average. Utah has been involved in several high-scoring affairs of late, most recently a 126-113 triumph at Cleveland, but I think this contest will stay under the posted total. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
03-04-20 | Pacers v. Bucks OVER 222 | 100-119 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK The Milwaukee Bucks have been held to fewer than 94 points in back-to-back games, but I think they'll break out of the scoring funk in this matchup with Indiana. The over is 6-2 in Pacers last 8 games as an underdog and 15-6 in their last 21 games playing on 1 days rest, which they will be at here following a 116-11 triumph at San Antonio Monday night. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-03-20 | Wizards v. Kings OVER 232.5 | 126-133 | Win | 100 | 14 h 23 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT WIZARDS @ KINGS TOTAL The Washington Wizards are 14-2 to the over in road games where the total is greater than or equal to 230 points this season. This is the final stop of a three-game road trip, with the first two games both going over the total (129-119 loss at Utah, 124-110 win at Golden State). The Sacramento Kings are coming off a low-scoring 106-100 win over Detroit, but note that over still is 7-3 in Kings last 10 home games. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
03-03-20 | Warriors v. Nuggets UNDER 216.5 | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 13 h 6 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ NUGGETS TOTAL The depleted Golden State Warriors have struggled with their points production all season, and that has certainly also been the case during their current 1-9 stretch. They're 7-3 to the under in those games and here they'll run into an elite Denver team that sure knows how to play defense and will be looking for a more complete performance after giving up 118 to Toronto last time out. While the Nuggets have been involved in mostly high-scoring games lately, I expect this one to stay under the posted total. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
03-03-20 | Jacksonville +9.5 v. North Florida | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
ASUN TOURNEY BOOKIE BLASTER The Jacksonville Dolphins have won four of their last six away from home. They are 9-6 ATS on the road this season and won 53-52 at Stetson last time out. I think they'll put up a good fight here in the Atlantic Sun Tournament matchup with North Florida. The Osprey have been money against the spread all season (8-1 ATS in their last nine) but considering that Jacksonville is allowing just 65.9 ppg, covering a double-digit spread could prove to be a tougher task than they might expect. 8* play on Jacksonville. | |||||||
03-02-20 | Pacers -2.5 v. Spurs | 116-111 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
LATE PACERS @ SPURS BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Pacers are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite and 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings with the Spurs (5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in San Antonio). As for the Spurs, they're 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. They had to do without forward LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) last time out and he's considered day-to-day. With or without Aldridge, I don't see the Spurs keeping pace with the Pacers in this one. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
03-02-20 | Rockets -9 v. Knicks | 123-125 | Loss | -113 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BLASTER The Houston Rockets had to fight hard to get past the Celtics at Boston on Saturday, but I think they're in for a much easier ride when visiting the Knicks at Madison Square Garden tonight. The Knicks are in a potential flat spot after ending a six-game slide with a 10-point win over Chicago last time out. They're just 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and the Rockets are a dominant 8-1 ATS in the last nine head-to-head meetings in New York. 8* play on Houston Rockets. | |||||||
03-02-20 | Jazz v. Cavs UNDER 219 | Top | 126-113 | Loss | -109 | 18 h 8 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY *MAJOR WAGER* The Utah Jazz have struggled on the defensive end lately and they were forced to put up a ton of points in order to snap a four-game skid with a 129-119 win over Washington last time out. Facing the Cleveland Cavaliers could be just what the doctor ordered to get back on track, considering the Cavs average just 106.5 ppg (26th) and have been held to 104 points in back-to-back losses. Both teams rank in the bottom-third for pace (the number of possessions a team uses per game) and while this will be the first meeting of the season, note that the under is 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
03-01-20 | Lakers -2.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED SUNDAY NIGHT SIDE *MAJOR WAGER* This looks like a great spot to back an angry LA Lakers team who will be looking for a quick bounce back following a 105-88 loss to Memphis on Saturday. They face a Pelicans team that has won six of its last eight straight-up (5-3 ATS), but none of those games were against a team like the Lakers. There is a risk that LeBron James will get the night off in the second game of a back-to-back, but note that the Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. | |||||||
03-01-20 | Pistons v. Kings UNDER 217 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 37 m | Show |
PISTONS @ KINGS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Detroit Pistons have struggled to put points on the board lately and they had averaged just 98.4 ppg through a seven-game slide prior to a 113-11 win at Phoenix last time out. As for the Sacramento Kings, they defeated Memphis 104-101 last time out and they've held three of their last five opponents to 103 points or fewer. Under is 8-3 in Kings last 11 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings. Under is 13-3-1 in the last 17 meetings in Sacramento. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
03-01-20 | Bucks -12.5 v. Hornets | 93-85 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY BUCKS @ HORNETS BOOKIE BLASTER The Milwaukee Bucks demolished Oklahoma City Thunger by 47 points last time out. I don't think they'll have let down game, but instead take care of the Charlotte Hornets rather comfortably Sunday afternoon. If anything, this is a potential flat spot for Charlotte following an upset win at Toronto. The Hornets have covered the spread in five of their last seven overall but they're just 6-15 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season while the Bucks are a solid 22-13 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record (the Bucks are a red hot 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall). The Bucks have won the first meetings of the eseason by 41 points and 14 points respectively. I don't see why this time around would be any different. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. | |||||||
02-29-20 | Mississippi Valley State +17 v. Jackson State | 70-87 | Push | 0 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER I think the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils are catching too many points to pass up on when they visit the Jackson State Tigers Saturday night. The Tigers are just 5-9 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record, and with their next game in just a couple of days I think they'll take this opportunity to give key players some rest once they've built up a decent lead. 8* play on Mississippi Valley State. | |||||||
02-29-20 | DePaul v. Butler -8 | Top | 42-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Butler Bulldogs are heading into the weekend off three consecutive losses, but I like their chances of not only winning straight up but also covering the number in this matchup with DePaul. This is a big bounce back spot for Butler who took an 81-59 beating at No. 11 Creighton last time out and it'll also look to avenge a 13-point loss at DePaul last month. The Blue Demons have won just two Big East games all season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last six games. 10* play on Butler. | |||||||
02-29-20 | Providence +8 v. Villanova | 58-54 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY PROVIDENCE @ VILLANOVA BOOKIE BLASTER This looks like a good spot to fade the 12th-ranked Villanova Wildcats who are in a look ahead spot with conference-leading Seton Hall on deck. The Providence Friars are a very capable team and they must have all the confidence in the world after reeling off three straight upset wins, defeating Seton Hall, Georgetown and Marquette. Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. Friars are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 8* play on Providence. | |||||||
02-28-20 | Nuggets v. Clippers UNDER 218.5 | Top | 103-132 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 40 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED NUGGETS @ CLIPPERS TOTAL The Denver Nuggets and the LA Clippers are involved in a battle for the second seed in the Western Conference and I expect a playoff-like and low-scoring affair when they clash at Staples Center Friday night. Additionally, both teams are more than capable of playing lockdown defense. The Clippers have allowed an average of just 94.5 ppg over their last two games while Denver held Detroit to 98 points last time out. Under is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 games as a home favorite and 7-1 in Nuggets last 8 games as a road underdog. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-28-20 | Georgia Southern +5.5 v. Georgia State | Top | 79-70 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show |
FRIDAY NIGHT SUN BELT BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Georgia Southern Eagles have won four of their last six games and put an 81-61 beating on Utah as a 5-point road underdog last time out. They average a healthy 75.1 ppg on the season, and I like them to keep even pace with the Georgia State Panthers in this one. Georgia State is coming off back-to-back road losses SU and ATS, and while it won by five points at Georgia Southern last month, note that it was losing straight up for most of the game and only managed to pull away late. 10* play on Georgia Southern. | |||||||
02-27-20 | Blazers v. Pacers UNDER 219 | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 18 h 37 m | Show | |
BLAZERS @ PACERS THURSDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers are struggling without injured All-Star point guard Damian Lillard (groin). They've dropped four of their last five games, and here they'll face an elite defensive team in the Indiana Pacers that held Charlotte to 80 points last time out. Indiana is 4-1 to the under in its last five overall and 2-0 to the under after allowing 85 points or fewer on the season. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-27-20 | Illinois -6.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 74-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Northwestern Wildcats are just 4-10 SU (3-11 ATS) at home. Last time out they took an 83-57 beating by Minnesota here at Welsh-Ryan Arena and they're 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Illinois Fighting Illini, they're coming off back-to-back triumphs, including a road win at Penn State. Illinois is 6-2 ATS in its last eight road games vs. a team with a losing home record and needs a win here to stay in the hunt for its first Big Ten regular-season title in 15 years. 10* play on Illinois. | |||||||
02-26-20 | Clippers -5.5 v. Suns | Top | 102-92 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT CLIPPERS @ SUNS *TOP PLAY* The LA Clippers snapped a three-game skid with a dominant 124-97 triumph over Memphis Monday night. They're 27-13 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite and I like them to win and cover in this matchup at Phoenix. Note that the Suns are a terrible 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and in a tough spot with this being their fourth game in six nights, the previous three on the road. Last time out the Suns won 131-11 at Utah and they're just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. | |||||||
02-26-20 | Rutgers v. Penn State -6 | Top | 64-65 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG TEN TOTAL The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are an underdog at Penn State Nittany Lions Wednesday night, and for a good reason in my opinion. The Lions are third in the Big Ten despite back-to-back losses and can simply not afford to drop this one. On the season, Penn State is 12-2 (8-5-1 ATS) as a home favorite it'll be looking to avenge a double-digit loss to Rutgers on the road last month. Penn State is holding opponents to 62.0 ppg home at Bryce Jordan Center, and while Rutgers is holding opponents to 62.2 ppg overall, note that the number jumps to 69.5 ppg allowed on the road where the team is just 1-7 SU. 10* play on Penn State. | |||||||
02-25-20 | Celtics -5 v. Blazers | Top | 118-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
TUESDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Portland Trail Blazers are just 23-33-2 ATS on the season and playing without injured superstar Damian Lillard doesn't help matters. I don't see them keeping up a Boston Celtics team that is 34-20-2 ATS on the season and looking to bounce back from a narrow loss at LA Lakers last time out. The Celtics are 11-5 ATS off a loss on the season, including perfect 4-0 ATS on the road off a road loss. 10* play on Boston Celtics. | |||||||
02-25-20 | Bucks -1.5 v. Raptors | 108-97 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
TUESDAY NIGHT BUCKS @ RAPTORS $20 SPECIAL The Toronto Raptors have won 17 of their last 18 games after beating Indiana by 46 points last time out, but I think they're in trouble when hosting the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. Milwaukee will be playing on no rest following a 137-134 OT win at Washington last night, but note that the Bucks are 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS when playing on zero days rest this season and they had covered the spread in seven straight games as favorites prior to last night's event. Toronto is a tough nut to crack, but if any team can do it it's the NBA-best Bucks. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. | |||||||
02-24-20 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas UNDER 134.5 | 58-83 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
OKLAHOMA STATE @ KANSAS TOTAL (9 PM ET START) The Kansas Jayhawks are allowing just 60.7 (8th) ppg on the season and they limited Baylor to 61 points in an upset win last time out. Here they'll face an Oklahoma State team that put up just 47 points its last time out on the road and averages just 62.9 ppg away from home on the season. Under is 16-8 in Kansas games as a favorite this season, 9-4 when the total is 130 to 139.5 points and 16-5 when playing against a team with a winning record. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-24-20 | Magic v. Nets UNDER 212.5 | Top | 115-113 | Loss | -102 | 17 h 16 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT MAGIC @ NETS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Orlando Magic are 29-24-1 to the under overall this season, no surprise considering their top-ranked scoring defense in combination with one of the worst scoring averages in the league. Additionally, they play at a very slow tempo (only 100.1 possessions/game) and I think they'll be allowed to dictate a slow pace for this contest. Note that the under is 22-7-2 in Magic's last 31 vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 11-5 in their last 16 games playing on two days rest. The Nets are coming off a 115-86 triumph at Charlotte; under is 7-2 in their last nine games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 7-1 to the under in their last eight overall. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-24-20 | West Virginia v. Texas +5.5 | Top | 57-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
TOP RATED WEST VIRGINIA @ TEXAS NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY, The West Virginia Mountaineers have dropped four of their last five straight up and they're 2-6 ATS in their last eight games. On the season, they're 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in true road games, and I think they're asked to cover way too many points against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas Monday night. Texas is coming off a solid 70-59 victory as a 5.5-point underdog at Kansas State to make it back-to-back wins. They've played terrific defense in recent weeks and should be to able to fend off the slumping Mountaineers. 10* play on Texas Longhorns. | |||||||
02-23-20 | Pacers v. Raptors UNDER 219.5 | Top | 81-127 | Win | 100 | 14 h 39 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SUNDAY NIGHT TOTAL The Indiana Pacers won 106-98 at New York in their first game back from the All-Star break while the Toronto Raptors defeated Phoenix 118-101. Two relatively low-scoring affairs, and I think the same will hold true for this one. The Raptors own the fourth-best scoring defense in the league allowing just 106.5 ppg, and Indiana is also in the top 10 holding opponents to 107.4 ppg. Under is 30-12-1 in Pacers last 43 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-23-20 | Butler v. Creighton -5.5 | Top | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Creighton Bluejays are red hot with eight straight-up wins in their last nine games and a 7-2 ATS record. That stretch includes impressive triumph over No. 19 Marquette, No. 13 Villanova and No. 14 Seton Hall and I think they'll win and cover the spread against Butler on Sunday. The Bulldogs have not been at their best lately with just two wins in their last six games (1-4-1 ATS). This game means a lot for the Bluejays who sit only one game out of first place in the Big East, and it's also a revenge game after a 14-point loss at Hinkle Fieldhouse last month. 10* play on Creighton. | |||||||
02-22-20 | Mavs -5.5 v. Hawks | Top | 107-111 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 60 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY NIGHT SIDE The Dallas Mavericks will be playing on the second day of a back-to-back situation, but I don't think they'll have any issues with Atlanta after rolling over Orlando Friday night. The Hawks have had just one day off since an upset win over Miami Thursday night and we can note that the Mavs are a solid 20-6 in all road games this season and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. Atlanta is 7-17 when playing against a team with a winning record, and it's one of the worst defensive teams in the league while Dallas has the third-best points per game average. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. | |||||||
02-22-20 | Clemson -4 v. Boston College | Top | 82-64 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Boston College Eagles have covered the spread in four of their last six overall, but they came up short in a 78-65 loss at Virginia last time out and I don't see them keeping pace with Clemson in this Saturday night matchup. The Tigers have averaged 83 ppg in impressive back-to-back upset wins over Pittsburgh and Louisville and they're one of the best defensive teams in the ACC while Boston College averages only 64.9 ppg on the season. We can also note that Clemson has had six days to prepare for this contest while Boston College last played two days ago and this will be the Eagles' third game in just seven days. Look for Clemson to run away with this game. 10* play on Clemson Tigers. | |||||||
02-21-20 | Nuggets +2 v. Thunder | Top | 101-113 | Loss | -113 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
TGIF NUGGETS @ THUNDER BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Denver Nuggets took an OT loss to the Lakers in their last game before the All-Star break. They're 9-1-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here against an OKC Thunder team they've dominated lately, winning nine of the past 10 meetings and they're 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. The Thunder have been money against the spread this season, but not as a home favorite and they're 2-8 ATS last 10 as a home favorite. The Nuggets meanwhile are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. | |||||||
02-21-20 | Pacers -5.5 v. Knicks | 106-98 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
PACERS @ KNICKS BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Pacers took down the Milwaukee Bucks just before the All-Star break, and I think they'll have no trouble to take care of business against the NY Knicks in this one. They've covered the spread in five straight games as road chalk and 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games overall. As for the Knickerbockers they took a 114-96 beating by the hands of Washington last time out. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
02-21-20 | Buffalo v. Kent State UNDER 152.5 | 104-98 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 29 m | Show | |
TGIF COLLEGE BASKETBALL BOOKIE BLASTER TOTAL The Buffalo Bulls are 7-0 to the under in their last seven games and limited Ball State to 59 points on 36 percent shooting from the field last time out. As for Kent State, it was held to 49 points in a 21 point loss at Eastern Michigan last time out and it has scored fewer than 54 points in three of its last four games while four of its last five have stayed under the total. Both teams are capable of putting up plenty of points on their day, but this total looks too high considering their recent struggles. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-20-20 | Heat -6 v. Hawks | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 14 m | Show |
TOP RATED HEAT @ HAWKS BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat headed into the All-Star break as losers of four of their last five, all on the road. They've been better at home than on the away from home all season, but I think they'll get the job done and win and cover when visiting Atlanta Thursday night. Note that the Hawks have allowed 127+ points in three straight games and Miami put up 135 points in an OT win over Atlanta back in December. Last time out, the Heat took a 116-101 loss at Utah. They've had more than a week to mull it over and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points. Additionally, we can note that the Heat are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 Thursday games while the Hawks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Thursday games. 10* play on Miami Heat. | |||||||
02-20-20 | Ohio State v. Iowa OVER 143 | 76-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
OHIO STATE @ IOWA BIG TEN TOTAL BANKROLL BUILDER The Ohio State Buckeyes are one of the best defensive teams in the nation, but their defense will truly be put to the test here against an Iowa Hawkeyes team that averages 78.2 ppg overall and 81.8 ppg home at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Last time out, Iowa State played a low-scoring affair when it won 58-55 at Minnesota, but I expect to see more fireworks in front of the home town crowd. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-19-20 | Michigan v. Rutgers -1 | 60-52 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have won two of their last three and looked sharp in a 72-57 triumph over Illinois last time out. They've been dominant at home all season long and are2-0 ATS as a home favorite of 3 points or less or pick and 6-1 ATS when the total is 130 to 139.5 points. Here they'll host a Michigan side that has won five of their last six games overall, but it is only 2-5 on the road on the season and note that the Wolverines are 0-2 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or pick. 8* play on Rutgers. | |||||||
02-19-20 | Syracuse v. Louisville -9.5 | Top | 66-90 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show |
MIDWEEK MADNESS ACC ANNIHILATOR *TOP PLAY* The No. 11 Louisville Cardinals are coming off back-to-back losses, first at Georgia Tech and most recently an embarrassing setback at Clemson. They had reeled off 10 straight triumphs before that and defeated Virginia 80-73 last time out home at KFC Yum! Center to improve to 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 as a home favorite. The Orange have lost four of their last five and took an 80-77 loss at FSU on Saturday. They're 1-5 ATS after allowing 80 points or more and this won't be easy against a Louisville team that averages 77.2 ppg in their own building and ranks 11th in the nation for 3-point shooting home & away combined. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these two teams and I think the cardinals will put a real beating on Syracuse Wednesday night. 10* play on Louisville Cardinals. | |||||||
02-18-20 | Nevada -118 v. New Mexico | 88-74 | Win | 100 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
LATE NEVADA @ NEW MEXICO MONEYLINE MASSACRE $20 SPECIAL The Nevada Wolf Pack are just 2-7 SU (4-5 ATS) away from home on the season, but they're 1-1 SU and ATS as a road favorite. I expect them to come through with a win here against a slumping New Mexico team that has dropped five of its last six games and we can note that Nevada defeated UNLV 82-89 in OT on the road last time out. Wolf Pack are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Lobos are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. 8* play on Nevada. | |||||||
02-18-20 | Illinois v. Penn State -6 | 62-56 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
TOP RATED TUESDAY NIGHT NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY The Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped for in a row and covered the number in only one of those games. Last time out they took a 72-57 beating at Rutgers and I fully expect Penn state to rout Illinois in this one. The Nittany Lions are aiming for a ninth consecutive victory, and they've covered the spread in each of the previous eight triumphs. They're 9-4 against the number in front of the home town crowd and 5-1 ATS on Tuesday nights on the season. Additionally, we can note that Illinois' leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu missed the last game with a knee ailment and he is questionable for this contest. 10* play on Penn State. | |||||||
02-17-20 | Iowa State v. Kansas UNDER 145.5 | Top | 71-91 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 21 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT CBB BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Kansas Jayhawks put an 81-70 beating on Oklahoma last time out, but I predict a much lower-scoring contest when they host the Iowa State Cyclones Monday night. The Jayhawks have a truly elite defense that ranks eighth in the nation for points allowed, and I think they'll clamp down on the defensive end in this one after a subpar defensive outing against the Sooners. Kansas is 6-2 to the under when the total is 140 to 149.5 points this season and 16-8 to the under overall. The first meeting of the season back in January wasn’t pretty for Iowa State as Kansas put a 79-53 beating on the Cyclones. Iowa State is coming off an 81-52 rout of Texas, but points will be much harder to come by in this one and I expect to see the final score stay under the posted total. 10* on UNDER. | |||||||
02-16-20 | Duquesne v. Fordham OVER 120 | 59-54 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 43 m | Show | |
COLLEGE BASKETBALL BOOKIE BLA$TER I think the total for Sunday's matchup between the Duquesne Dukes and the Fordham Rams looks a little light. Note that Fordham has allowed 70+ points in two of its last three games while Duquesne has put up 70+ in three straight games (80+ in the last two). While the Rams are a low-scoring team and were held to fewer than 50 points in a 79-49 loss at Davidson last time out, note that they're 4-1-1 to the over in their last 6 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. Duquesne took an 83-80 loss to St. Bonaventure last time out and Over is 7-2-1 in the Dukes last 10 games following a straight up loss. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-16-20 | Villanova -6 v. Temple | Top | 76-56 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 16 Villanova Wildcats look like a solid road favorite in this non-league contest at Temple on Sunday. Nova is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games, but at least it snapped an 0-3 SU skid with a 72-71 win against Marquette last time out. Getting a break from the Big East schedule could be just what the team needs, and here it'll face an Owls side that might feel a bit too good about itself after winning three of four. I'm not convinced the Owls will be ready for what Nova will throw at them. The Wildcats are 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) as road favorites on the season and the favorite is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 head-to-head meetings with Temple. 10* play on Villanova. | |||||||
02-15-20 | Gonzaga -15 v. Pepperdine | 89-77 | Loss | -104 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER No team in college basketball is scoring more points than Gonzaga and its 88.5 ppg, and here the Bulldogs will face a Pepperdine team that is allowing 77.4 ppg. Gonzaga put a 90-60 beating on St. Mary's as a 5-point favorite last time out and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 Saturday games. Pepperdine has covered the spread in only three of 12 home games on the season and it is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 Saturday games. 8* play on Gonzaga. | |||||||
02-15-20 | LSU +2.5 v. Alabama | Top | 82-88 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
LSU @ ALABAMA SATURDAY CBB *TOP PLAY* The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped four of their last five games after taking a tough overtime loss to Auburn on Wednesday. They've covered the number in only two of their last six and have had trouble stopping opponents from scoring. That does not bode well for this matchup against a dynamic LSU team that bounced back from road losses at Vanderbilt and Auburn with an 82-79 triumph over Missouri last time out. LSU is 3-0 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or a pick'em on the season and 7-1 ATS in such spots over the last three seasons. Additionally, the Tigers put a 90-76 beating on the Tide as a 5.5-point favorite in Baton Rouge earlier this season. 10* play on LSU Tigers. | |||||||
02-15-20 | Texas Tech -3.5 v. Oklahoma State | 70-73 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY CBB BANKROLL BUILDER (1PM ET TIP OFF) The Texas Tech Red Raiders have won three straight games and put an 88-42 beating on TCU last time out. I think they'll put up a decent amount of points in this one as well, while scoring could be an issue for the Oklahoma State with the team averaging only 67 ppg and TTU allowing just 62.8 ppg. The Cowboys have lost seven of their last 10 straight up. They're 3-0 ATS at home on the season and 3-8 ATS against conference opponents. 8* play on Texas Tech. | |||||||
02-15-20 | Oklahoma v. Kansas UNDER 135 | 70-87 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 18 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY NCAAB TOTAL We saw a total of just 118 points scored when these two teams clashed on Jan 14, a 66-52 Kansas win @ Oklahoma. The Jayhawks are top 10 for scoring defense in the nation and they limited West Virginia to 49 points last time out. Under is 9-3 in Sooners last 12 overall and 7-0 in their last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 9-2 in Jayhawks last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 10-3 in their last 13 games as a favorite. 8* play on Under. | |||||||
02-13-20 | Thunder v. Pelicans -2 | Top | 123-118 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Oklahoma City Thunder are heading to New Orleans off back-to-back losses. They took a 114-106 home loss to San Antonio last time out and I think they'll struggle to contain a New Orleans team that ranks 4th in the league for points per game. The Pelicans are flying high at the moment, winning three in a row and six of their last eight, covering the spread in each win. They're a phenomenal 19-6-1 against the number in their last 26 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite. We can also note that this contest will mean a lot for the Pels who have dropped the first three head-to-head matchups with OKC this season. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. | |||||||
02-13-20 | Wichita State -3 v. UCF | Top | 75-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Central Florida Knights are 8-4 SU at home this season but 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. The visiting Wichita State Shockers are 3-3 SU on the road this season but 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Shockers have covered the number in only one of their last eight games overall while winning only three of those eight outright, but I think they should be able to keep a limited UCF offense at bay in this one, particularly after taking an embarrassing 76-43 loss at No. 19 Houston on Sunday. Central Florida on the other hand is in a potential letdown spot following two straight wins (both as favorites). Wichita State won the first meeting of the season 87-79 on Jan 25 and it has won four straight head-to-head matchups with UCF. 10* play on Wichita State Shockers. | |||||||
02-12-20 | Wizards v. Knicks OVER 228.5 | Top | 114-96 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 2 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MIDWEEK TOTAL The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the NBA on the defensive end, giving up 120.3 points per game on average. Last night they defeated Chicago 126-114, and I predict another high-scoring affair when they visit the NY Knicks Wednesday night. The Knicks have one of the worst offenses in the league, but even they should be able to put up points against a drained Wizards team that has seen 47 of its last 68 games when playing on no rest go over the total. You never have to worry about Washington putting points on the board (5th in the NBA) and note that the over is 17-5-1 in the Wizards last 23 games as a road underdog and 3-1 in Knicks games with a total of 227 points or higher on the season. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-12-20 | Xavier v. Butler -4.5 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
XAVIER @ BUTLER BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 20 Butler Bulldogs are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, but I think they'll cover the number when hosting the Xavier Musketeers Wednesday night. Xavier has reeled off three straight outright wins as underdogs but this will be a tough one against a well-motivated Butler team looking to bounce back from a near double-digit loss at Marquette. The Bulldogs have an elite defense thank ranks 14th in the nation for points allowed and I don't see Xavier putting up nearly enough points to cover the spread in this one. 8* play on Butler. | |||||||
02-11-20 | North Carolina v. Wake Forest +2 | 57-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
$20 TUESDAY SPECIAL NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have won just two of their last seven games outright, but they're 6-1 against the numbers in those games and 12-4 ATS as an underdog on the season. Here they'll face a North Carolina Tar Heels side that is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite and just spent a lot of of energy in a 98-96 OT loss to No. 7 Duke on Saturday. "Duke's locker room is very happy, and our locker room is crushed." North Carolina coach Roy Williams told reporters after the defeat. 8* play on Wake Forest. | |||||||
02-11-20 | Bulls v. Wizards OVER 229.5 | Top | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
BULLS @ WIZARDS NBA TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The Chicago Bulls are 7-0 to the over in their last seven games and the total for this matchup with the Washington Wizards look a bit light to me. The Wizards have one of the absolute worst defenses in the league, but they're top 5 for points scored with 115.5 ppg. Last time out they took a 106-99 loss to Memphis but they're still 7-2 to the over in their last nine games. Chicago has allowed an average of 124.6 ppg through a five-game skid so I'm not concerned about the Wizards bouncing back putting points on the board, and even though the Bulls are among the lowest-scoring teams in the league I think they'll get plenty of open looks in this one. The Wizards are 17-9 to the over when the total is greater than or equal to 230 this season. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-11-20 | Penn State v. Purdue UNDER 135 | Top | 88-76 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
PENN STATE @ PURDUE TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Purdue Boilermakers own a top 10 scoring defense in the nation and they're also one of the slowest at just 67.8 possessions per game. They've allowed 68 or fewer points in three straight games and they're allowing just 57 points per game home at Mackey Arena on the season. Five of their last six overall have gone over the total, but I think the bookmakers have overadjusted the number for this one. The No. 13 Penn State Nittany Lions are one of the hottest teams in the conference, but while they're capable of putting up but numbers, there's no doubt that the Lions can play D as well. Additionally, we can note that they're 4-1 to the under in their last five games. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-10-20 | Baylor -5.5 v. Texas | Top | 52-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S BAYLOR @ TEXAS *TOP PLAY* The No. 1 Baylor Bears put a 59-44 beating on the Longhorns in Waco just over a month ago, and I predict another Baylor win at Frank Erwin Center, Austin, TX Monday night. Baylor is holding opponents to 59.0 ppg on the season and Texas has struggled to score for the better part of the season, and even more so in recent games putting up just 58 and 57 points respectively in its last two contests. The Longhorns have dropped five of their last seven, and while Baylor hasn't been at its best in the last two games (2-0 SU, 0-2 ATS) I expect the Bears to come motivated for this one. Bears are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 9-2 ATS away from home on the season. Longhorns are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. 10* play on Baylor. | |||||||
02-10-20 | Kings v. Bucks OVER 227 | 111-123 | Win | 100 | 20 h 4 m | Show | |
KINGS @ BUCKS MONDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Sacramento Kings are coming off a 122-102 win over San Antonio. The over/under is 16-8 in Kings' games when the total is greater than or equal to 220 on the season and 11-3 in their last 14 overall. Here they'll face a Milwaukee side that is averaging more points per game than any other team in the league and the over is 16-5 in the Bucks' last 21 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 20-7 in the last 27 meetings. Over is 6-0 in the last 6 meetings in Milwaukee. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-10-20 | Nets v. Pacers -7 | 106-105 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
NETS @ PACERS HARDWOOD HAMMER The Indiana Pacers have dropped five on the bounce after taking a 124-117 loss to New Orleans last time out. They've struggled to cover the number in recent weeks, but I think they'll come through here against a Brooklyn side that has covered the spread in five of its last six overall but only two of its last 10 on the road. We can also note that Brooklyn star guard Kyrie Irving has missed the last three games with a knee injury and he has been ruled out for this one. Pacers are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Pacers are 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings in the series. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
02-09-20 | Heat v. Blazers -3 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HEAT @ BLAZERS BANKROLL BUILDER The Miami Heat own the best home record in the league, but they're not nearly as strong on the road. Here they'll visit a Portland team that has been money against the spread lately, covering in six of its last seven games with the only misstep a blowout loss at Denver. The Blazers should be well up for this one after taking a 122-111 loss at Miami back on Jan. 5. 8* play on Portland. | |||||||
02-09-20 | Jazz v. Rockets OVER 232 | 114-113 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
JAZZ @ ROCKETS SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL The Houston Rockets had averaged 122.8 ppg through a four-game winning streak before coming out flat in a 127-91 loss at Phoenix last time out. Here they'll face a Utah Jazz team that just snapped a four-game skid with a 117-114 triumph over Portland and will be looking to keep the momentum going. Over is 7-1 in Jazz last 8 road games and 18-6 in their last 24 Sunday games. Over is 15-6 in Jazz games when the total is greater than or equal to 220 points and 2-0 when the total is greater than or equal to 230. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-09-20 | Ohio State +1.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
OHIO STATE @ WISCONSIN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Wisconsin riding a three-game winning streak. They've held opponents to 59, 59 and 58 points during that stretch and are 10-1 ATS after allowing 60 points or less on the season. As for the Badgers, they've dropped three of their last four after taking a 70-52 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday, They're 1-5 ATS after scoring 60 points or less this season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last seven games overall. The Buckeyes will be well up for this one after dropping a 61-57 decision to the Badgers in Columbus last month, and I expect them to get revenge today. 10* play on Ohio State. | |||||||
02-08-20 | Spurs v. Kings OVER 224.5 | Top | 102-122 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 45 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT SPURS @ KINGS TOTAL *TOP PLAY* The San Antonio Spurs are coming off three straight defeats, and they've allowed 125+ points in each of the last two. The bookmakers expect the Spurs to end the skid as a small favorite at Sacramento Saturday night, and we can note that the Over is 7-3 in Spurs last 10 games as a favorite and 6-1 in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. As for the Kings, they're 8-2 to the over in their last 10 games as an underdog and 10-2 to the over in their last 12 overall. Over is 12-6-1 in Kings' games with a total closing at 223 points or more this season while the Spurs are 16-8 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-08-20 | West Virginia v. Oklahoma UNDER 140 | Top | 59-69 | Win | 100 | 13 h 23 m | Show |
WEST VIRGINIA @ OKLAHOMA BIG 12 BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The West Virginia Mountaineers have a top-20 scoring defense in the nation and have held their last two opponents to an average of 59 points. They're 15-7 to the under on the season and 6-2 to the under in their last eight road games. As for the Oklahoma Sooners, they've struggled to shoot the ball lately (63.2 ppg average last five games). Eight of their last 10 overall and each of their last six games closing as an underdog have gone under the total. I think they'll struggle to get open looks against this solid West Virginia team and that we'll see the final score stay under the posted total with quite some margin. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-07-20 | Blazers v. Jazz OVER 226.5 | 114-117 | Win | 100 | 16 h 25 m | Show | |
BLAZERS @ JAZZ LATE NIGHT TOTAL The Portland Trail Blazers have played four straight overs following a 125-117 win over San Antonio Thursday night. Facing a defensively challenged Portland side with heavy legs just might be what Utah needs to break out of its five-game slump. Last time out, the Jazz were held to 95 points by Denver, but note that over is 9-3 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 6-1 in Trail Blazers last seven games as an underdog. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-07-20 | Raptors v. Pacers OVER 218.5 | Top | 115-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
TOP RATED TGIF NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Both the Indiana Pacers and the Toronto Raptors are very accomplished on the defensive end, but note that they're both 27-23-1 to the over on the season. The Raptors defeated Indiana 119-118 in Toronto just a couple of days ago (total closed at 216) to push their winning streak to 12 games, and I expect this to fly over as well. Over is 7-2 in Raptors last 9 road games. Over is 5-2 in Pacers last 7 home games and 6-1 in their last 7 games as an underdog. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-07-20 | Maryland v. Illinois -3 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
MARYLAND @ ILLINOIS BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* There is a lot at stake in this contest as with both teams at 8-3, the winner of this one will take sole command of the Big Ten conference. No. 21 Illinois took a 72-65 loss against 17th-ranked Iowa on Sunday, its first setback in a month. The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here. The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won five straight following a 56-51 triumph over Rutgers, but it wasn't pretty and the Terps trailed by five at the half. The Terps won the first meeting 59-58 win Dec. 7, but they're 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Illinois should be able to put up an even better fight in its own building. 10* play on Illinois. | |||||||
02-06-20 | Louisiana Tech v. Western Kentucky UNDER 143.5 | Top | 54-65 | Win | 100 | 19 h 51 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER* I expect to see a relatively low-scoring affair when the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers host the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Thursday night. Louisiana Tech owns a top-25 scoring defense in the nation on the season, and the total for this contest is inflated after four straight overs through a four-game winning streak. Five of its previous six had gone under though and under is 25-12-1 in the Bulldogs last 38 road games. As for the Hilltoppers, they've alternated over and unders through their last four games, and we can note that they're 11-4 to the under in their last 15 games as a home underdog (WK is a 1.5-point dog at the time of this pick). Louisiana Tech came away with a 62-50 home win against Western Kentucky in the lone meeting last season and while more points is expected for this one, I doubt it'll reach the posted total. 10* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-06-20 | Pelicans v. Bulls OVER 231 | Top | 125-119 | Win | 100 | 20 h 18 m | Show |
PELICANS @ BULLS THURSDAY NIGHT TOTAL *TOP PLAY* While the Chicago Bulls are on the lower end for offensive efficiency, I think they should be able to put up a fair amount of points against a New Orleans Pelicans side that is allowing 117.2 ppg on the season and took a 120-108 loss to Milwaukee last time out. The Pels are 14-5 to the over in their last 19 overall and 7-2 to the over in their last nine games as a favorite. As for the Bulls, they've allowed an average of 131 points through their last two games and each of their last five has gone over the total. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-05-20 | Seton Hall -3.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 78-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 13 Seton Hall Pirates are 3-1 SU and ATS as favorites of fewer than five points this season, and I like them to win and cover at Georgetown Wednesday night. We can also note that they'll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 74-62 home loss as an 8.5-point favorite against Xavier to close out a three-game road trip and that Seton Hall is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 road games following three or more consecutive home games and 7-0 ATS in its last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Hoyas, they just snapped a three-game SU and ATS skid with a 73-72 upset win at St. John's which sets up a potential let down spot tonight. 10* play on Seton Hall. | |||||||

GRIZZLIES @ MAVS NBA TOP RATED TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 96-82 win over Detroit. I think buckets will come a lot easier for both sides when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night. Memphis is 6-2 to the over through its last eight on the road and the over is 6-1-1 in its last eight vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Additionally, the Grizzlies are 12-7 to the over in games with a total of 225 points or higher while the Mavs are 11-6 to the over in such games. 10* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-04-20 | Spurs v. Lakers OVER 228.5 | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT SPURS @ LAKERS $20 TUESDAY SPECIAL The San Antonio Spurs let us down on Monday as we lost with the under in their 108-105 loss at LA Clippers. The over is 18-6 in Spurs last 24 games playing on no rest, and that's a trend I expect to continue here at the Clippers cross-town rival Tuesday night. The LA Lakers are coming off a 129-113 triumph over Sacramento and they're 9-2 to the over through their last 11 games. Additionally, the over is 7-1 in the last eight meetings in Los Angeles. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-04-20 | Rutgers v. Maryland -7.5 | Top | 51-56 | Loss | -104 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED BIG TEN SIDE *WHITE HOT 11-0 RUN* The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won four on the bounce and seven of their last nine games, including an impressive 82-72 victory against No. 17 Iowa on Thursday. They're 6-2-1 ATS during that nine-game stretch and I think they'll win and cover the line when hosting Rutgers in Big Ten action Tuesday night. The Scarlet Knights took a 69-63 loss to Michigan last time out and while their defense is one of the best in the conference, they'll find it hard to slow down a Maryland team that is humming on all cylinders and has scored 77 points or more in three straight games. The Terps are a perfect 5-0 ATS as a home favorite of fewer than 10 points on the season and I'm counting on them to remain perfect after this contest. 10* play on Maryland Terrapins. | |||||||
02-03-20 | Spurs v. Clippers OVER 227.5 | 105-108 | Loss | -104 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT SPURS @ CLIPPERS BOOKIE BREAKER The San Antonio Spurs managed just 90 points in a home loss to Charlotte last time out but they average 110.0 points per 100 possessions (5th) on the season. They're however almost as poor on the defensive end as they're prolific when on the ball. Here they'll visit an LA Clippers team that averages a healthy 115.4 ppg and just put a 118-106 beating on Minnesota and I predict a high-scoring affair. Over is 6-2 in Spurs last 8 games as a road underdog, 7-2-1 in Clippers last 10 games as a home favorite and 7-0-1 in their last 8 games following a straight-up win of more than 10 points. Additionally, the over is 20-8-2 in Clippers last 30 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||
02-03-20 | Mavs v. Pacers -4 | Top | 112-103 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Indiana Pacers are far from their best at the moment. They've dropped two of their last three games and took a 92-85 home loss to the lowly New York Knicks last time out, but I like them to bounce back to win and cover the number when hosting the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. While the Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss, the Mavs are 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight-up win, which they are following a 123-100 win over Atlanta on Saturday. Indiana is 7-0 ATS as a home favorite of five points or fewer on the season. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. | |||||||
02-02-20 | Bulls v. Raptors -10.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED BULLS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Chicago Bulls are 1-4 ATS through their last five games and they travel to Toronto off back-to-back road losses. The Bulls are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog while the Raptors are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games as a home favorite. Toronto is on fire as it will try to push its winning streak to 11 in a row, and I expect a blowout win for the defending-champion Raptors in this one. Chicago does simply not have the firepower to threaten a Toronto team that is elite on the defensive end of the hardwood. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. | |||||||
02-02-20 | Illinois v. Iowa -4.5 | 65-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER ~ ILLINOIS @ IOWA We have a big game in the Big Ten this Sunday as the No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini visit the 18th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The home team is in desperate need of a win to keep its conference title hopes alive, and I think Hawkeyes will no only win but also cover the spread in the process. They had won five straight prior to an 82-72 loss at No. 15 Maryland last time out, and while Illinois is solid on the defensive end, shutting down an elite Iowa offense won't be easy in front of a crowd that has carried its team to an 8-1-2 ATS record in its last 11 home games. 8* play on Iowa. | |||||||
02-02-20 | Nuggets v. Pistons UNDER 216 | 123-128 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 6 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY NUGGETS @ PISTONS TOTAL The Detroit Pistons are 31-19 to the over on the season, but I think they'll be involved in a relatively low-scoring contest when hosting the Denver Nuggets Sunday afternoon. Denver owns a top-five scoring defense in the league, and while it picked up a 127-115 victory at the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks on Friday, note that under is 9-3 in Nuggets last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in its previous game. Additionally, note that under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-01-20 | Knicks v. Pacers UNDER 212.5 | 92-85 | Win | 100 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
SATURDAY NIGHT KNICKS @ PACERS NO BRAINER The New York Knicks rank near the bottom of the league for most offensive categories. Points won't come easy for the Knickerbockers in this one, facing an Indiana team that ranks top 10 for points allowed and that limited the Bulls to 106 points last time out, despite going to overtime. Both teams have pace factors that rank in the bottom-third of the league and three of the last four head-to-head meetings have gone under the total, including a 104-103 Indiana win in New York on Dec 7. Under is 6-2 in Knicks last 8 overall. Under is 13-5 in Pacers last 18 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on UNDER. | |||||||
02-01-20 | Wolves v. Clippers OVER 229.5 | Top | 106-118 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 58 m | Show |
WOLVES @ CLIPPERS TOTA *MATINEE MASSACRE* The over is 12-3 in the last 15 meetings at Staples Center and the posted total for today's matinee matchup looks a little light. Minnesota has been abysmal on the defensive end all season long and it has surrendered 130+ points in two of its last three games. The Clippers have the fifth-best points per game average in the league and should be well up for this contest after taking a 103-124 loss to Sacramento last time out. Over is 7-1-1 in Clippers last 9 games as a home favorite. Over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 games as a road underdog. 8* play on OVER. | |||||||

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED TOTAL *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Toronto Raptors will be playing on no rest following a 115-109 win at Cleveland on Thursday. We were on the wrong side of the total backing the under in that game, and I expect to see this contest fly over the total as well. The Raptors are now 7-1 to the over in their last eight on the road, and while they're one of the best defensive teams in the league, heavy legs could become an issue in this one. As for the Detroit Pistons, they're 8-1 to the over in their last nine overall and 7-0 to the over in their last seven home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 10* play on OVER. |
