03-14-24 | Bowling Green -2.5 v. Central Michigan | 66-56 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #713 Bowling Green over Central Michigan (1:30p.m., Thursday, March 14 ESPN+) Like our selection with Utah last night, it is hard for Central Michigan to beat Bowling Green three times in one season. These are similar talented teams and I see the Falcons prevailing in this game and will enter the semifinals winning 3 straight games. The Falcons being favored is a key indication that they are the better team. |

03-14-24 | Arizona State v. Utah -5.5 | 57-90 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #678 Utah -5.5 over Arizona State (11:30p.m., Wednesday, March 13 PAC12N) The Bobby Hurley era may be coming to an end shortly and I do not expect the Sun Devils to make any noise in the conference tournament in Las Vegas. Utah had a disappointing season and actually lost to ASU twice this season. Arizona State is not good enough to beat any team in this league three times in a season. The Utes will win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
03-13-24 | Rutgers v. Maryland OVER 125.5 | 51-65 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #685 Over 125.5 in Rutgers vs Maryland (6:30p.m., Wednesday, March 13 BTN) Both these teams are offensively challenged and bad, but I expect them to open things up in the conference tournament. If you are going to be bad, you at least need to be exciting to get some fans out to support you. One of these teams should reach 70 points and that will allow us to collect with the over. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

03-12-24 | Gonzaga -165 v. St. Mary's | 60-69 | Loss | -165 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #633 Gonzaga over Saint Mary’s (9p.m., Tuesday, March 12 CBS) Gonzaga is one of the most improved teams during the second half of the season. Both teams are squarely in the tournament, but I feel Gonzaga will win this rubber match. The Bulldogs have not lost a game since February 3rd when they hosted Saint Mary’s. |
|||||||
03-12-24 | West Virginia +9.5 v. Cincinnati | 85-90 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #609 West Virginia over Cincinnati (3p.m., Tuesday, March 12 ESPN+) Just do not see why Cincinnati is this big of a favorite in a neutral site conference tournament game. Both teams split games on their home court with the Bearcats winning big last game. It will be hard for them to follow up that game and I see this game being played in single digits. West Virginia has won 5 of the last 6 games against Cincinnati. |
|||||||
03-11-24 | Celtics -9.5 v. Blazers | 121-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
Boston has won two of the last three and three of the last four visits to Portland by double digits. We just don’t see a letdown here for the best team in the NBA, in our opinion. The Celtics are rolling right now and they just won in Phoenix by 10, so we think they can do even better here. They have covered in seven of their last nine games, and when they win, they usually win big and big enough to cover the large number. |
|||||||
03-11-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee v. Northern Kentucky | 82-75 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Northern Kentucky over Milwaukee (9:30p.m., Monday, March 11 ESPN2) This is the rubber game between these two schools for a berth in the winner take all Championship Game tomorrow night. Both schools won on their home floor, but I feel Milwaukee’s season will end having to play an extra game to reach the semi-finals. The Norse have won 7 of their last 9 games and avenged one of those losses last time out. |
|||||||
03-11-24 | Devils v. Rangers -130 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show | |
We think the Rangers still have revenge in their hearts for the playoffs last year and they have won both meetings this season by a comfortable margin. Both of those were on the road, and this one could get even uglier at MSG. The Rangers are the far superior team this season and they are in better form, as the Devils have dropped four of their last five. Three of those losses were by multiple goals. The cream rises to the top tonight. |
|||||||
03-10-24 | Pacers v. Magic -1.5 | Top | 111-97 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
Orlando is by far the strongest ATS team in the league this season and they are being underestimated by the oddsmakers once again. This is a young team and they will have a dud every now and then. That was surely the case last time out as they played one of their worst games of the season, a 98-74 loss at New York. We will give them a mulligan on that one, however, and expect they come out strong here in this one. Indiana has lost three of four and this team has been inconsistent lately. Orlando has held four of six opponents under the century mark and we think that defense wins this matchup on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-10-24 | Nebraska v. Michigan +5.5 | 85-70 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #802 Michigan over Nebraska (12p.m., Sunday, March 10 BTN) Juwan Howard may be on his way out, but I just do not believe Nebraska is good enough to be laying this many points on Senior Day in Ann Arbor. Michigan has talent and Nebraska is 2-8 in true road games this season. Take the points and hope Michigan gives some effort in this game. |
|||||||
03-09-24 | New Mexico +3.5 v. Utah State | 85-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #713 New Mexico +3.5 over Utah State (8:30p.m., Saturday, March 9 CBSSN) New Mexico needs this victory to solidify a spot in the NCAA Tournament and I feel they will get it. Utah State does not have the same homecourt advantage as they have had over the last two decades. They have a lot on the line as well, playing for an outright conference championship, but I expect them to play tight and struggle in this game. New Mexico has the most talent of anyone in the league and they Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Nets -6.5 v. Hornets | 99-110 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 43 m | Show | |
The Nets are coming off an embarrassing loss at Detroit and they should give much better effort here against a team that is probably worse than the Pistons. Brooklyn should be getting some injured players back tonight, and this team needs a win badly for the play in tournament. They have covered in three of the last four meetings, and they are the much better team here. A motivated Brooklyn squad should get the comfortable win. |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Maple Leafs v. Canadiens +1.5 | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 40 m | Show | |
This is the Super Bowl for the Canadiens and this is their biggest rival. They are having another bad season, but a win over Toronto will do a lot to make this bad season bearable. Montreal always play well at home when these teams meet, and we think they will give it their best effort here. Toronto has biggest aspirations, so this isn’t as big of a game for them. Montreal has been one of the best ATS teams in the NHL this season. |
|||||||
03-09-24 | Baylor v. Texas Tech -1.5 | Top | 68-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show |
7 Unit Play. Take #686 Texas Tech over Baylor (6p.m., Saturday, March 9 ESPN2) An unranked team that is favored over a ranked team is always a strong betting trend. This is senior day in Lubbock, TX and I am looking for the Red Raiders to take care of business against an overrated Bears team. Baylor is coming off back-to-back wins against their traditional rivals in Kansas and Texas and I see a letdown for them in this game. Baylor is 4-8 ATS in their last 12 games following 3 straight wins. Homecourt is still strong in the Big 12 and Texas Tech wants this game to finish off with 3 straight wins and improve their seeding in both the conference and NCAA Tournaments. |
|||||||
03-08-24 | Boise State v. San Diego State -7.5 | 79-77 | Loss | -111 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #868 San Diego State -7.5 over Boise State (10p.m., Friday, March 8 FS1) Neither team can win the league, but I look for the Aztecs to take out their frustrations and improve their seed for the upcoming NCAA Tournament later this month. The Aztecs do not want to have to play in the prelims next week in Las Vegas and a win ensures that they will not have to. Boise State laid an egg at home earlier this week against Nevada and I do not see them bouncing back tonight. This will be a double-digit victory for the home team. |
|||||||
03-08-24 | Red Wings -130 v. Coyotes | Top | 0-4 | Loss | -130 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
Detroit is in the thick of the playoff race, while the Coyotes are in a freefall. Some teams are chasing the Red Wings for the Wild Card, and they can’t afford a loss here. If they give full effort, this should be no problem picking up the win here. Arizona has lost 16 of their last 18. This homestand is not going well to start off. They lost to the Blackhawks to start things off, 5-2, and Chicago is probably the absolute worst team in the league. Then they played on Thursday and lost to the Wild by an identical 5-2 score. So they come in on a back-to-back against the strongest team of that bunch, and we don’t see things going well for them tonight. The Red Wings aren’t in the greatest form, however. They have lost three straight. Those losses were to the Avs, Panthers and Islanders, though, so this is their chance to get back on track tonight in a very winnable game against the team possibly playing the worst in the league right now. The Coyotes don’t have that home mystique that they enjoyed last season and this squad looks like a team that is already looking to the offseason. |
|||||||
03-08-24 | Magic -1.5 v. Knicks | 74-98 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
This spread is short, in our opinion, as we had the Knicks as 4.5-point dogs here with a lean to Orlando at that number. Orlando is healthy, while the Knicks are banged up and a shell of the team that looked like a true championship contender earlier in the season. New York has dropped eight of 11, and this team might not even make the play in. Orlando is playing amazing defense, and we don’t see the Knicks cracking the century mark tonight and they will have to lean on defense to keep this competitive. We don’t see them keeping this one close, and there is nice value here with the road team. |
|||||||
03-07-24 | Arizona State v. USC -9.5 | 73-81 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #772 USC Trojans over ASU Sun Devils (11p.m., Thursday, March 7 FS1) USC has the second most talent of anyone in the PAC-12 this season and are starting to show signs that they can make a run next week in Las Vegas. ASU has a lame duck coach, and they are just playing out the string of games this season. They have some blowout losses this season and they gave all they had last week against Arizona but still lost big. Injuries have taken its toll on the Sun Devils and they just do not field much of a roster in March. The line being this big with a 12-17 tells me all I need to know about the talent of each team. |
|||||||
03-07-24 | Rutgers v. Wisconsin OVER 131.5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #827 Over in Rutgers Scarlet Knights @ Wisconsin Badgers (7p.m., Thursday, March 7 FS1) We nailed our Big 10 GOY on the over with Wisconsin and look to collect again on Thursday with a smaller play with them. This is one of the worst defensive teams Wisconsin has ever had and Rutgers will get many open looks in this game. |
|||||||
03-06-24 | Fresno State v. New Mexico -18.5 | 58-79 | Win | 100 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #716 New Mexico over Fresno State (10:30p.m., Wednesday, March 6 FS1) The Lobos are squarely on the bubble and likely need to win their last two games to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament. They have a strong NET rating but have some bad losses, especially at the PIT. They need to beat one of the bottom feeder teams in the MWC by at least 20 points tonight to keep their strong NET rating. Fresno State has a lame duck coach and are just playing out the string of games. They have lost big a bunch this season and tonight should be no different. |
|||||||
03-06-24 | Clippers -6.5 v. Rockets | 122-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
The Clippers have won eight straight meetings and covered in five of those. We love to take a good team off a bad or embarrassing loss, and that is the case with the Clippers tonight. Last time they were on a back-to-back against a banged up Bucks squad and really fell apart late in that game after relinquishing a big lead. So we think they will be a lot more focused tonight. Houston is a solid team but they are a couple rungs below the Clips, who are a true championship contender and probably the second best team in the league behind Boston. We think a determined Clippers team wins this one comfortably. |
|||||||
03-06-24 | Sabres v. Maple Leafs OVER 6.5 | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 25 m | Show |
This is the first time in a long time we aren’t getting this matchup at 7 on the total. These teams have topped this total in seven straight meetings. Buffalo had been trending to the under, but they played high scoring games in their last two and now they are trending the other way. We think this will be a competitive game and both teams will get their share of the total. Both of the last two meetings saw 10 or more goals scored, and we think they will put on a show once again. |
|||||||
03-05-24 | Pistons +11.5 v. Heat | Top | 110-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
Miami has been playing great basketball but we think the oddsmakers have overinflated this number so we have to plug our nose and take the Pistons here. The Pistons had a horrible start to the season and injuries were a major issue. Some felt heading into the season that this team could make the play in. But they ended up setting the NBA record for longest losing streak. But this team has gotten healthy and has been very competitive lately. They are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games. There were a couple of those ATS losses that were close, also. They didn’t play well last time out vs. Orlando so we think we will see a better effort here. And Miami goes on the road after this one to play at Dallas and at OKC on back-to-back nights starting Thursday. They probably won’t give full effort here and that should play to our advantage. Detroit has covered in seven of the last eight meetings, so they normally get up for this opponent. |
|||||||
03-05-24 | Oilers v. Bruins UNDER 6 | Top | 2-1 | Win | 104 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
These teams played a very high scoring game about two weeks ago in Edmonton. That was just one of two games that have gone over in the last 10 meetings. We don’t see these teams having a repeat, and as we inch closer to the postseason we think teams will really start to amp up the defense in preparation. Edmonton hasn’t allowed more than two goals in four straight games, and Boston is coming off an excellent showing at Toronto, holding the Leafs to only one goal. |
|||||||
03-05-24 | Purdue v. Illinois -1.5 | 77-71 | Loss | -117 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #618 Illinois over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, March 5 Peacock) Illinois is favored in this game against what many feel is the best and most accomplished team in the country. The Illini are coming off one of their best games of the season on Saturday against Wisconsin and look for them to win this game as well. Purdue just needs to beat Wisconsin at home on Sunday to win the regular season title and I see them faltering in this game in a hostile environment. Illinois is a great offensive team and sooner or later they will get hot from the arc and pull away late in this game. |
|||||||
03-04-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Flames -121 | Top | 4-2 | Loss | -121 | 9 h 59 m | Show |
Calgary has a very strong history here as they have won 8 of 10 meetings. We think that trend holds strong today, and this price is more than fair. Calgary has won five straight and they are playing great team hockey right now. Those wins weren’t against slouches, either: they beat Winnipeg, Boston, Edmonton, LA Kings and Pittsburgh. We expect another strong effort here today, and this is a very winnable game against a Seattle team that has been quite inconsistent lately. Their offense hasn’t been efficient lately, and Calgary has been excellent on both sides of the puck. |
|||||||
03-04-24 | Clippers v. Bucks -5.5 | Top | 106-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Clippers have been overrated by the oddsmakers lately compared to their effort on the court and they are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10. They come in on a back-to-back after a hard-fought win at Minnesota in a game that probably meant more to the team than tonight’s matchup at Milwaukee from the Eastern Conference. This Clippers squad isn’t the youngest team, so back-to-backs can really take their toll at this point in the season. It doesn’t get any easier with this matchup at the Bucks, who have won and covered five straight and are rounding into postseason form. We think Doc Rivers will do all he can to beat his old team, and the Clippers are definitely looking vulnerable tonight as they have been inconsistent since the all start break and we just think this is a real bad spot for them tonight. |
|||||||
03-03-24 | Indiana +9 v. Maryland | 83-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 16 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #823 Indiana over Maryland (2p.m., Sunday, March 3 CBS) Did Maryland become good overnight and worthy of laying this many points against anyone in the Big 10? Indiana is terrible on the road, but they did play one of the better games on the season last week hosting Wisconsin and I look for them to follow that up on Sunday. Maryland cannot shoot very well and does not score many points and thus we will take the dog on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | Rockets +9.5 v. Suns | 118-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Houston has covered in four of five meetings, and we think they will keep this one close tonight. There was a point where the Rockets started to be overvalued by the oddsmakers, but that time has passed. We really like them coming off a loss, yet a hard-fought one that included an ATS cover, against these Suns here on Thursday. It’s very difficult to beat a team twice in a row, and we have also seen some reverse line movement on this game that would favor the Rockets to cover. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | Golden Knights v. Sabres +100 | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Buffalo has actually won two straight in this series and three of four. They have gone under in five straight games and they have been playing excellent defense. We think they can hold the Knights to a low score here at home. Vegas hasn’t looked great on this road trip and this is a prime letdown spot for them after playing road games at Toronto and Boston. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | Illinois v. Wisconsin OVER 152 | Top | 91-83 | Win | 100 | 2 h 14 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #619 Over in Illinois Fightin Illini over Wisconsin Badgers (1p.m., Saturday, March 2 BTN) You think of these teams are big and strong defensive teams, but that just is not the case this season. Both defenses have been poor of late, as Illinois is giving up 1.10 points per possession since early February and Wisconsin is at 1.01 ppp during that same time. Illinois has gone way over today’s posted number in 8 straight games, a streak that last from January 28th. During this streak they have given up at least 75 points to their opponents in all but one game. Wisconsin has not been giving up that many points, but this is a get-well game for them on offense. They are a sinking ship and this is the perfect for their shots to go in, as this will be an up and down game. |
|||||||
03-01-24 | Cavs v. Pistons +9 | Top | 110-100 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 36 m | Show |
The Cavs haven’t covered in their last seven games. They have been winning quite a bit, but they haven’t been dominating. Detroit has been the opposite as they have been losing but covering as they are exceeding the oddsmaker expectations recently. They have covered in three straight and six out of nine. They have also covered in three straight meetings (all losses), and we think they will play well enough to keep this one close. |
|||||||
03-01-24 | Coyotes v. Senators -1.5 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Arizona have lost seven of their last nine games by multiple goals. They are currently playing probably worse than the Blackhawks, meaning at the moment they are the worst team in the NHL. So right now, no bet against them is a bad one. Ottawa is not a great team but they have won half their recent games and beat teams like Vegas, Dallas, and Tampa Bay, with an OT loss at Florida mixed in there. So the talent level goes way down here and we expect a strong showing from the home cliub. |
|||||||
02-29-24 | Hawaii v. UC-Davis -2 | 63-75 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #814 UC Davis over Hawaii (9p.m., Thursday, February 29 ESPN+) Hawaii is just not the save team when playing on the road compared to when playing on the islands. UC Davis will have revenge on their minds after getting blown out in Hawaii earlier this month, but they still have a strong homecourt advantage. UD Davis has been trending down but they will have a winning conference record and need to improve their seed for the winner take all conference tournament next month. |
|||||||
02-29-24 | Thunder -11 v. Spurs | 118-132 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Four straight meetings have resulted in OKC double-digit wins. They have covered in six straight meetings. This is a regional rivalry, and we think that the road team will bring their A Game tonight. They have won and covered in six straight and the Spurs are back home after a long road trip, which is usually a bad spot for the home team. |
|||||||
02-29-24 | Golden Knights v. Bruins UNDER 5.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
This is a huge game for both teams and we think the defenses will be out in full force. Boston has lost three straight and they haven’t played great defense on the road, but you know they have been eyeing this matchup and will bring their best effort back at home. That effort will likely be on the defensive end, since Vegas isn’t going to allow a lot of goals. When two contenders meet late in the season like this, it should be a playoff like atmosphere, and that means stepping up on D. These teams met just last month in Vegas, and the game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. We see another situation similar happening tonight, and we just don’t see this being a high scoring matchup. Some may be scared away from the 5.5 low total, but not us and we love that we are getting nice juice on the thing. |
|||||||
02-28-24 | Lakers v. Clippers -3.5 | Top | 116-112 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 59 m | Show |
The Lakers are banged up as LeBron and AD are suffering from various ailments and won’t be 100 percent, although both are expected to play. They better bring their A Game, because the Clippers always do in this matchup. If you have followed our service for a long time, you would know that we always think of this as a one-sided rivalry. The Lakers are the Clippers biggest rival, so they always bring their best. The Lakers have more traditional rivals, so this is just another game to them. In fact, they often like to make it seem like they don’t care at all about the Clippers, and that often shows on the court, as the Clippers have won 12 of 14 meetings, and they have had a lot of success in this series since the early Lob City days. Both squads have been sluggish out of the break, but we are confident the deep Clippers, without George, will bring their best performance to the court tonight. |
|||||||
02-28-24 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Rangers | 1-4 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
The Blue Jackets have surprisingly been one of the best ATS puckline teams in the NHL this season. They are 18-10 ATS on the road and they are more competitive than they are given credit for. The Rangers are only 12-15 ATS at home, where they often win by a goal. These teams played Sunday In Columbus, and the Blue Jackets thoroughly outplayed them en route to a 4-2 win. While this sets up a possible revenge scenario for the home team, we think that NY has bigger aspirations than focusing too much energy on this matchup. We see a close game here and think that the road team will keep it within a goal. |
|||||||
02-28-24 | Marshall v. Georgia Southern -1.5 | 73-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Georgia Southern over Marshall (7p.m., Wednesday, February 28 ESPN+) The Eagles did not win a game during the nonconference portion of the season but have done much better in Sun Belt play. They lost by just 5 points at Marshall earlier this season and I see them winning this game by 5-8 points. They took James Madison to the wire last time out and will get over the hump with a win tonight W.S. Hanner Fieldhouse. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Pelicans -3 v. Knicks | Top | 115-92 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show |
The Knicks took all they could handle from the Pistons last night and now this very thin roster finds itself on a back-to-back against a much better squad. We don’t think the slumping Knicks have a chance here. The Knicks have covered in only one of the last five meetings. They have dropped six of their last nine overall and those three wins were not against quality opponents (the Sixers are banged up now also). The Pels get it done tonight with a comfortable win. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Sabres v. Panthers UNDER 6 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
None of the last six meetings have gone over, and four straight have gone under with two pushes. We expect another low scoring game here. Buffalo has been playing well recently and winning on the strength of their defense. They have held five of their last seven opponents to two or fewer goals. These teams played earlier this month in Buffalo, a 4-0 Panthers win. We don’t see Buffalo breaking out offensively here but expect them to continue with solid defense. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Wisconsin -4 v. Indiana | 70-74 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #613 Wisconsin over Indiana (7p.m., Tuesday, February 27 Peacock) The Badgers need to show they can beat a bad team on the road and tonight should be that day that this gets accomplished. Indiana has lost 4 straight games and Wisconsin is a better team than 3 of those opponents. That included home losses to Northwestern and Nebraska. Wisconsin will be able to dominate the paint and if they make some shots from the arc they will win this game by double-digits. |
|||||||
02-26-24 | Kings +135 v. Oilers | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
These teams met earlier in the month, in LA, and the game was totally one-sided in favor of the Kings. We think they match up well here also. Los Angeles is one of the best road teams in the NHL this season and they have won more on the road than has Edmonton at home. The Oilers have cooled off big time from their hot streak and they enter this one having lost three straight. We think they make it four tonight and this is excellent value on the Kings. |
|||||||
02-26-24 | Pistons v. Knicks UNDER 223.5 | 111-113 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
We think this game will go one of two ways: either Knicks blowout or close, low-scoring game. We just don’t envision a shootout here. The Knicks are just a mess right now with all the injuries that have piled up and this team hasn’t been playing well on offense. They have the defensive system in place, however, to plug in players that can perform, and we don’t see either team breaking out for a big offensive game. We had this one handicapped around 218 so nice value tonight. |
|||||||
02-25-24 | Minnesota v. Nebraska -6.5 | 55-73 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #858 Nebraska Cornhuskers over Minnesota Golden Gophers (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 25 BTN) Nebraska is outstanding at home this season and Minnesota is not as good as their 8-7 record would indicate. Nebraska has the better shooting team and that will be the difference on Sunday night. They cannot afford a bad loss and will win this game by double digits. |

02-24-24 | Alabama v. Kentucky -2.5 | 95-117 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #682 Kentucky Wildcats -2.5 over Alabama Crimson Tide (4p.m., Saturday, February 24 CBS) Kentucky has already lost multiple home games this season and they cannot afford to lose anymore in Lexington. Alabama is a tough animal at home, but they got pounded by Auburn on the road, a spot Kentucky just won at. Kentucky needs this game more and they will find a way to get it. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

02-24-24 | Missouri v. Arkansas -5 | 73-88 | Win | 100 | 1 h 39 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #612 Arkansas Razorbacks -5.5 over Missouri Tigers (12p.m., Saturday, February 24 ESPN2) This is a straight fade against Missouri, the worst team by far in the SEC. Arkansas is not very good either, but they still have a strong homecourt advantage and should be able to take care of business today at Bud Walton Arena. Missouri has been more competitive of late, but losing close games is eventually taking its toll on its team. Arkansas already beat Missouri in Columbia this season by 7 points and they will win this game by double digits. |
|||||||
02-23-24 | Clippers -9 v. Grizzlies | 101-95 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Clippers got embarrassed last night at OKC and they had an off night; it happens to the best teams in the NBA at some point in the season. We think this team will bounce back nicely tonight as they take a big step down in competition. The Clippers have won and covered two straight in this series, and injuries have derailed the Grizzlies season in a big way. This team is just a shell of the squad we expected to be competing for a playoff spot by this point of the season. |
|||||||
02-23-24 | Sabres -150 v. Blue Jackets | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show | |
We think this is a fair price for the much better team on the road. And one that has had success here with two straight wins, with a goal differential of +8 in those two games. Neither game was close. Buffalo have won four in a row on the road, so they have been playing well away from home. And Columbus is home for the first time after a road trip, and those can be tricky situations for the home club as they have personal matters to attend to. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Washington -2 v. Arizona State | 84-82 | Push | 0 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #815 Washington over Arizona State (9p.m., Thursday, February 22 ESPN2) Washington trails Arizona State in the standing, yet it a small favorite in this game despite it being in Tempe. That tells me that Arizona State has thrown in the towel on this season and is ready for it to end. They are coming off a 45-point loss to their rival last time out and I see them struggling to keep this game within single digits. The Sun Devils score just under 70 points per game, 324th in the country. Washington has an identity and can usually beat the bad teams on their schedule and Arizona State is certainly a bad team. The Huskies already beat them once by 15 points and that is how I see this game going as well. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Clippers +1.5 v. Thunder | 107-129 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
The Clippers are healthy coming out of the break and entered the break with an epic win at Golden State without their best player. Kawhi is back here and rested, and we think the Clippers will be pumped for this game. We had them as a 2-point favorite here, so there is nice value in the spread tonight. OKC is a very good team and they rarely lose at home, but the Clippers may be the best team in the league and they certainly have the soldiers to come in and get a win here. The Clippers haven’t won here in awhile, but they didn’t have their full squad, either, and we expect a strong showing tonight. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Panthers +110 v. Hurricanes | 0-1 | Loss | -100 | 6 h 9 m | Show | |
Florida is the better team here and they have won five straight meetings, including two straight at Carolina. Home ice isn’t as valuable in NHL as other sports, and when two good teams are at their best we think the cream rises to the top tonight. Both teams have been racking up wins, but Florida has done it against a tougher slate and they will be ready tonight. |
|||||||
02-21-24 | Furman v. Samford -7 | 72-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #692 Samford over Furman (7:30p.m., Wednesday, February 21 ESPN+) The Bulldogs are the best team in the Southern Conference this season and will enter this game with a 23-4 record and a perfect record at home. One of their four losses came at Furman and they will look to avenge that tonight. I expect them to win by double digits and all but clinch the regular season title. |
|||||||
02-20-24 | Baylor v. BYU -3.5 | 71-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #644 BYU over Baylor (9p.m., Tuesday, February 20 ESPN) The Cougars are always a tough team to beat in Provo and we will lay the small number of points backing them tonight. BYU is coming off a bad loss last time out against Oklahoma State and look for them to bounce back in a big way tonight at the Mariott Center. Baylor has been on a nice winning streak and is likely due for a loss in this brutal conference. |
|||||||
02-19-24 | Oilers -1.5 v. Coyotes | 6-3 | Win | 100 | 4 h 41 m | Show | |
The Coyotes have lost nine straight, and most of those have been by multiple goals. The Oilers have won two of the last three in Arizona by multiple goals, and the other game saw an Arizona rally that ended in a one-goal Edmonton win. But the Coyotes are on a back-to-back here, and they played one of their most hard fought games during this stretch at Colorado on Sunday. We feel like the Oilers are going to dominate this one. |
|||||||
02-18-24 | Utah v. UCLA -2.5 | 70-69 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #864 UCLA over Utah (7p.m., Sunday, February 18 FS1) The Bruins have been rolling and will enter this game having won 6 straight. They were embarrassed at Utah earlier this season, but they are a much better team now. |
|||||||
02-18-24 | Coyotes v. Avalanche -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Arizona is in a free fall with nine straight losses and they are in their worst stretch of the season. They are normally formidable at home but have been playing badly there, too. Now they have to go on the road against one of the NHL’s best. This should be an easy win for the Avs. Colorado is in a bad stretch also, but they have an excuse as they have been on the road against a murderers row of opponents. This looks like a great bounce back spot on Sunday. |
|||||||
02-17-24 | Wisconsin +1 v. Iowa | 86-88 | Loss | -112 | 2 h 22 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #655 Wisconsin (pk) over Iowa (2:15p.m., Saturday, February 17 BTN) Wisconsin has had great success against Iowa over the last couple of years and today should be no different. This is not a great Iowa team on either side of the floor and Wisconsin should be able to make ways inside the paint with their post players. The Badgers have beaten Iowa three straight times and are 3-0 ATS in those games as well. Best of Luck - Doc's Sports |
|||||||
02-17-24 | Duke -5.5 v. Florida State | 76-67 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #649 Duke -5.5 over Florida State (2p.m., Saturday, February 17 ESPN) FSU will be up for this game, but the Noles just do not have the firepower that they have had in year's past. Duke is coming off three straight wins since their lost to North Carlina and for the most part this season they have beaten the bad teams on their schedule. |
|||||||
02-15-24 | Wolves v. Blazers +9.5 | Top | 128-91 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
These teams played Tuesday and the Timberwolves scored a comfortable win. The game wasn’t as one-sided as the final scored might indicate as the Blazers entered the fourth quarter down only one before falling apart late. But it’s very tough to win two games in a row on the opponent’s floor in the span of two consecutive games. Revenge is an overrated factor in handicapping as it is in college ball because these guys are professionals and they let losses slip away after the game and move on to the next matchup. But when teams play in consecutive games like this, it is definitely a factor and we think Portland will give an extra push to play a more complete game here. The Blazers are a bad team. But they are on a level above the real dregs like Washington, San Antonio and Charlotte. This team is competitive, can score some big wins over strong opponents, and they have covered in close to half their games. So we don’t think the Wolves will just come in and dominate here. Portland has covered in four of their last seven. One of those ATS losses was by a half point, so we think they have been playing slightly above the oddsmakers expectations lately and we think they will give it all they have tonight in the rematch as rest is coming during the all0star break. |
|||||||
02-15-24 | Colorado v. UCLA OVER 135.5 | 60-64 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #801 Over in Colorado Buffaloes @ UCLA Bruins (9p.m., Thursday, February 15 ESPN) We will focus on the total in this pick’em game since UCLA has been playing much better of late and also scoring some more points. The Bruins have won 5 straight games and scored at least 71 points in 3 of their last 4 games. The Buffaloes are averaging over 80 points per game this season and I expect both teams to reach the seventies in scoring tonight. |
|||||||
02-15-24 | Kings v. Devils -106 | Top | 2-1 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
The Kings were almost unbeatable on the road to start the season and as a result were one of the best bets in the league early in the season. But, oh, how times have changed. They are 2-9 in their last 11 road games and they are just not playing well at the moment. Their last game, on the road, was them get beat down 7-0 at Buffalo. New Jersey smacked around a couple mid-tier teams in their last two and will come into this one with a lot of confidence. They have also won the last two meetings, one here at the Prudential Center and one in LA. LA has been inconsistent and downright bad on the road, and we think there is nice value on the home team at this short number. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Clippers v. Warriors UNDER 237 | 130-125 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
The Clippers will be without Kawhi Leonard tonight but we think the defense will step up in his absence. He hasn’t been out much this season and we don’t think his absence means the Clippers won’t be competitive here but they will need to play defense. Golden State has really stepped up the defense lately and they have gone under in five straight games and seven of eight as a result. We think both teams want this game and when there is a contentious matchup like this, both teams really normally bring a lot of energy on defense. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Tennessee v. Arkansas +8.5 | 92-63 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #706 Arkansas over Tennessee (9p.m., Wednesday, February 14 ESPN2) Tennessee has been inconsistent this season and have struggled against inferior opponents. Arkansas still has talent and a good home court advantage. We will grab the points and expect this game to be played in single digits. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Iowa v. Maryland -5 | 66-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #698 Maryland over Iowa (8:30p.m., Wednesday, February 14 BTN) Maryland gave away a game on Saturday against Ohio State and I expect them to take out their frustration against Iowa on Wednesday night. Playing at Xfinity Center is always tough for opponents and Iowa just does not have the offensive or defensive firepower this season to win games on the road. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Sharks +1.5 v. Jets | Top | 0-1 | Win | 140 | 6 h 0 m | Show |
San Jose was playing well entering the all star break winning four of six. One of those losses was in OT. Strangely this is their first game back from the all star break, so we think they will have a lot of energy. Winnipeg is the much better team but they are not playing well lately and have dropped five of six. Their two most recent wins have been by one goal each, and the last two meetings have been one goal games. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | New Mexico v. Nevada -2 | 83-82 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take Nevada over New Mexico (11p.m., Tuesday, February 13 CBSSN) Nevada has righted the ship of late winning 3 straight games and playing at home tonight will allow them to make it four in a row. Homecourt is still a major edge in the MWC and the Pack will also have revenge on their minds since the Lobos blew them out last month. New Mexico has been struggling of late and they are a very streaky team. Nevada does not want another home loss on their resume and they sellout crowd will propel them to a victory. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | Thunder -2 v. Magic | Top | 127-113 | Win | 100 | 7 h 43 m | Show |
Orlando is a fine team and they have been solid this season at covering the spread and winning games. But we think they are out of their depth here tonight. The Thunder are a true championship contender and we think if they come and play their game in Orlando that they will win comfortably here at the Kia Center. OKC has covered in five of the last six meetings. They have lost two of three, but those were at Dallas and Utah, so they will be motivated to play well here. Orlando has been playing well but they have had a somewhat easy schedule and they have been a bit inconsistent compared to the start of the season. They are also not getting as much value in their lines as they were early in the season as the bookies have caught on to the talent and capabilities of this team. But we think a motivated Thunder team wins this one going away, and there looks to be plenty of value in this line. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | Ducks v. Canadiens -112 | 0-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Both of these teams stink, but the Canadiens are a decently better squad and we think they should be laying more juice here at home. They won the last meeting in Southern California in November and we think they have what it takes to win this one at home. While we didn’t take the spread here, Montreal has been one of the better teams at covering, and they could win this one by multiple goals. But the price on the moneyline is too good to pass up. |
|||||||
02-12-24 | Wolves +4.5 v. Clippers | Top | 121-100 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show |
The Timberwolves match up well with the Clippers and they have had a lot of success against them. They have won and covered five of the last six meetings, including two of three in Los Angeles. Minnesota comes into this one very well rested and they have tons of confidence after going into Milwaukee and laying a beatdown on the Bucks last time out. They also have recent wins against OKC and Dallas, so they have been raising their game against the best competition. We feel this will be a very close game and think the Wolves have a great chance for the outright win, and they are getting great value on the spread here. |
|||||||
02-12-24 | Kansas +3 v. Texas Tech | 50-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #887 Kansas over Texas Tech (9p.m., Monday, February 12 ESPN) Kansas has been bad on the road this season, but they have the more talented team and sooner or later they will win a road game. The Red Raiders have been in free fall of late losing 3 of their last 4 games and Kansas is better then the three teams that they lost too. The Jayhawks need to win this game if they have hopes of winning the Big 12 and will get this win tonight in Lubbock. |
|||||||
02-12-24 | Coyotes v. Flyers -148 | 3-5 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show | |
The Flyers have won four of five in this series and they are the much better team. While home ice is not a huge factor in the NHL like as in other sports, this Coyotes team is a completely different club on the road vs at home. They are just 8-13-4 away from home. We see a tough day for them here. They have dropped five straight entering this one, and we think that trend continues here. |
|||||||
02-11-24 | 49ers v. Chiefs +2.5 | Top | 22-25 | Win | 100 | 125 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #102 Kansas City Chiefs over San Francisco 49ers (6:30p.m., Sunday, February 11 CBS) You can make a case for either team in this game, but we will side with the team that has the better defense along with the best quarterback in the league. Kyle Shannon has a tendency to freeze up in big games and I am just not sure Brody Purdy can carry him over the finish line. The Chiefs have had a great defense all season long with Chris Jones able to make plays and get to the quarterback. The 49ers will have their moments, but in the end the Chiefs will prevail and win their third Super Bowl in the last 5 years. |
|||||||
02-11-24 | Northern Iowa -3.5 v. Illinois-Chicago | 65-71 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #863 Northern Iowa over UIC (4p.m., Sunday, February 11 ESPN+) The Flames sit at the bottom of the MVC and will struggle to win any games the rest of the way. The Panthers have underachieved this season but they still have experience and talent and should win this game by close to double digits. UIC has lost 8 of their last 9 games including an 8 point loss to Northern Iowa. |
|||||||
02-10-24 | Maryland v. Ohio State -2.5 | Top | 75-79 | Win | 100 | 5 h 40 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #708 Ohio State Buckeyes over Maryland Terrapins (4p.m., Saturday, February 10 FS1) TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Nothing good can be said about Ohio State of late, but they did cash for us in December with our Nonconference Game of the Year against UCLA. Now they play a terrible road team in Maryland, as Ohio State is desperate for any kind of a win. The Buckeyes have lost 5 straight games, and their coach is clearly on the hot seat. But they have talent and Maryland is one of the worst shooting teams in the conference, especially from the arc. You cannot lose them all and Ohio State picks up a much-needed victory at home on Saturday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
02-09-24 | Rockets +2 v. Raptors | Top | 104-107 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Despite the Rockets poor play on the road, we had them favored in this matchup. Toronto after the Trade Deadline looks like one of the worst teams in the NBA and they will likely be tanking the rest of the season. The Raptors will miss VanVleet for sure as he is out for likely a few games but we think that Houston has a good enough roster, plus the motivation, to win here. They looked pretty good in their first game with VanVleet sidelined as they went toe to toe with the Pacers on the road and lost by three, easily covering the 8-point spread. The Rockets aren’t going to win a lot of games on the road this season, but this looks like a very winnable game for them. They need every win they can get for the postseason so we think they will be focused here. Toronto is playing their first home game after a long road trip, and those are often tricky since players have obligations in their personal lives, and for Toronto with no hope, those probably outweigh the game tonight. The Raptors haven’t been just losing but they haven’t been covering, either, despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers. |
|||||||
02-08-24 | Cal Poly +10 v. CS-Northridge | 65-78 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #843 Cal Ply over Cal State Northridge (10p.m., Thursday, February 8 ESPN+) Just do not believe the Matadors are good enough to be laying double digit in a conference game. Before beating UC Riverside, Northridge lost 5 straight games and only one of those losses was competitive. The Mustangs have lost all of their conference games this season, but they have been competitive in most of their recent games. Look for them to keep the score low and that will allow them to lose by single digits. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Spurs +8 v. Heat | 104-116 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
We think this is a real nice spot for the Spurs to play a competitive game. They catch the Heat not only on a back-to-back but playing their third game in four nights. Those came against the Clippers and in-state rival Orlando, so this game really isn’t going to move the needle for them as far as motivation goes. The Spurs have been up and down lately but are getting generous lines from the oddsmakers and they have covered more games recently than they haven’t, and they also have a better ATS record than the Heat. We think they have a great chance to keep this close. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Lightning v. Rangers UNDER 6.5 | Top | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 29 m | Show |
We always first look to the under when these teams play each other. They have a strong recent history for the under as eight of the last nine meetings have gone under the posted total. The Rangers were masterful defensively in their first game back from the break, as here at home they held the Avalanche to only one goal. We think they bring the same energy on defense tonight. And Tampa Bay is back for their first game after the break. This is one of the highlight games of their season playing in MSG and they should have a ton of energy on the defensive end and will want to get off to a strong start for their post all-star game stretch with the playoffs now on every team’s mind. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Wisconsin -5.5 v. Michigan | 68-72 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #687 Wisconsin -5.5 over Michigan (7p.m., Wednesday, February 7 BTN) The Badgers will enter this game having lost two straight games and are looking to get back on track against the worst team in the Big 10. The Badgers are the better coached team and will win this game by double digits. Juwan Howard is likely to be replaced come seasons send and Michigan is just playing out the string now. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | Thunder v. Jazz +3 | Top | 117-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
We were on the Thunder last meeting between these two. The line was similar, and we had a massive play on OKC and honestly we were lucky to win that one as everything went right for us in the last 30 seconds. Utah is rested and healthy, and they have revenge here for the earlier meeting. They had a real chance to win that one outright. OKC has three nights off after this game then a trip to Dallas, and as a result they may not be full focused here. Even if they are, the Jazz are strong enough at home to beat any team, any night. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | Dayton -1.5 v. St. Joe's | 94-79 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #637 Dayton over St Joes (8p.m., Tuesday, February 6 CBSSN) The Flyers are the best team in the Atlantic 10 and are well on their way to receiving an at-large bid for the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Never like Anthony Grant as a head coach, but his team is loaded with talent this season. They have just one loss since the middle of November and that trend will continue on Tuesday with a 6-8 point victory tonight on Hawk Hill. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | Canadiens v. Capitals OVER 5.5 | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
The Capitals didn’t look great on defense heading into the all-star break and we could see them giving up some goals here. Washington went over in three straight and four of five entering the break. Montreal has been wildly inconsistent on defense. Six of the last eight meetings between these teams have gone over, and we think this 5.5 total will be easy to beat in a competitive game. |
|||||||
02-05-24 | Warriors v. Nets | Top | 109-98 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 4 m | Show |
Brooklyn has won three of four and are playing well at the moment. They have enjoyed a light playing schedule lately and should be primed to defend the home court tonight. The same can’t be said for Golden State. While not on a back-to-back, they will be playing their third road game in four nights, and it’s not like this is the youngest bunch… so fatigue will be a factor. The Warriors are just 8-11 on the road this season. These teams played last month in the Bay Area, and Brooklyn held their own in a four-point loss. We think they match up well and will be able to get their revenge here. Golden State covered that one by just the hook, and that was their first cover in four games in this series. The Nets have actually covered in six of the last eight. |
|||||||
02-05-24 | Avalanche v. Rangers UNDER 6.5 | 1-2 | Win | 101 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Both teams had been trending to the over, but the all-star break will serve as a reset. And these teams should have lots of energy on defense tonight. Three straight meetings and four of five have gone under the posted total. And three of those were games that went to extra time. We expect a close, low-scoring, hard-fought game from both sides. |
|||||||
02-04-24 | Clippers -4 v. Heat | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show |
Love the Clippers in this spot. Miami has been underachieving lately and they have been overvalued by the oddsmakers. They have covered two straight but that followed a seven-game non cover streak. The Clippers play tomorrow also, but this team has been taking things one game at a time this season more than season’s past, and we think they will be extra focused on this very winnable game. Oh, and they have also covered in eight of the last 10 meetings. |
|||||||
02-04-24 | Purdue v. Wisconsin +2.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 24 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #830 Wisconsin over Purdue (1p.m., Sunday, February 4 CBS) Purdue got gifted a game earlier this week and I expect Karma to hit them on Sunday. Purdue had a huge free throw advantage last time out against Northwestern, but they will not get that against Wisconsin on the road at the Kohl Center. Wisconsin is coming off a bad loss to Nebraska last time out, a game in which they blew a big lead and lost by 8 in overtime. Wisconsin needs this game if they have any hope of winning the regular season conference championship and expect them to grind out a win late behind A. J. Storr. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | Houston v. Kansas +1.5 | Top | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #702 Kansas Jayhawks over Houston Cougars (4p.m., Saturday, February 3 ESPN) COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME OF THE YEAR Kansas at home getting points is too good to pass up. Houston does not face this type of environment in the AAC, but will see it on Saturday now they are a member of the Big 12. Kansas takes great pride in winning the Big 12 and this is a game they need to win if they have any hopes of winning the conference come March. This will be the Cougars third road game in their last four games, and they will not be able to push around Kansas in Lawrence. The Jayhawks have the much better offensive team and are coming off their best performance of conference play last time out. That was without Kevin McCullar, who is probable for this game. Kanas needs this game more, and they will get it by 6-8 points. They should never be an underdog at home and we will gladly ride them in this game. |
|||||||
02-02-24 | Raptors v. Rockets -4 | Top | 106-135 | Win | 100 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
The Rockets have been a bit back and forth lately but we think this is a good spot for them, and the line is more than fair. They seem to be locked into winning every other game lately, and good for us they lost last time out. That was against a better team, and this is a good spot for a bounce back. Toronto has been a very poor road team and have just seven wins away from home. They have covered in two straight but haven’t been good in general at covering despite some generous lines from the oddsmakers. Houston has covered in three of their last four, so they are playing a bit better than expectations. They have also covered in seven of the last nine meetings in this series. |

02-01-24 | Pacers v. Knicks -2.5 | 105-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
The Knicks are just rolling right now and we think they have the defense to slow down the Pacers. They play at one of the slowest paces in the league and they can throw Indiana off their game tonight. The Knicks are banged up right now but they have one of the best home records in the league, while the Pacers are less than a .500 team on the road. New York has covered sin six straight and they continue to be underappreciated by the oddsmakers. |

01-31-24 | Magic v. Spurs +5.5 | Top | 108-98 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
The Spurs are vastly improving throughout the season right in front of our eyes, and this is a team that should have great betting value down the stretch run of the season. They have covered in five of the last seven and have been underrated by the oddsmakers. Orlando started off the season great, but it looks like they may not be as good as advertised as they have fallen off quite a bit recently. San Antonio has covered in seven of the last nine meetings, so they have a strong history here. |

01-31-24 | Kings v. Predators +105 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
The Kings are in a freefall and it seems they are favored here based on name rather than performance. The Predators have won three straight meetings in this series. The Kings are possibly not as good as they looked early in the season. They have dropped 12 of their last 14 and are in horrible form right now. Nashville has only won four of nine, but they have been much more competitive and they have a strong recent history in this series. |

01-30-24 | Seattle Kraken v. Sharks UNDER 6 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 58 m | Show | |
Seattle has dropped five of seven and they don’t deserve to be favored by any team by this much on the road right now. San Jose has won three of four and is actually in better form right now. We think this one will be low scoring, which makes getting the goals on the puckline even more valuable. Six of eight lifetime meetings have gone under the posted number. |

01-30-24 | Pacers +7.5 v. Celtics | 124-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show | |
The Celtics expended a lot of energy last night in a rally vs the Pelicans and they honestly haven’t looked great the last couple games. Indiana has covered in six of the last nine meetings and they normally come to play when visiting Boston. Every team goes through ups and downs at points in the season and that big loss to the Clippers, who were on a tough back-to-back, has to be concerning. Indiana might get some players back tonight as well and we think this will be a close game regardless. |

01-30-24 | Texas Tech +5.5 v. TCU | 78-85 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #625 Texas Tech over TCU (7p.m., Tuesday, January 30 ESPN2) Texas Tech has been sneaky good in the Big 12 this season currently sitting at first play with a 5-1 record. TCU is coming off a marathon 3 overtime victory on Saturday and thus we expect tired legs and a little letdown in this game. We will grab the points and play the road underdog. |

01-28-24 | Chiefs +4 v. Ravens | Top | 17-10 | Win | 100 | 98 h 4 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #319 Kansas City Chiefs over Baltimore Ravens (3p.m., Sunday, January 28 CBS) The Ravens have the better all-around team, but the Chiefs have the best player on the field, and we will gladly back Mahomes and the points in this game. The Kansas City offense played their best game of the season last time out against Buffalo and I look for that to continue in this game as well. Baltimore has all the pressure on them, as QB Jackson will win his second straight MVP and need a Super Bowl to validate his outstanding career. The Chiefs have a strong defense that can cause issues for QB Jackson with their blitz schemes, and I look for them to take this one down to the wire. KC seems to have a knack for winning close games and Sunday should be no different. |

01-27-24 | Charlotte v. Tulane OVER 147.5 | 75-71 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 30 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #701 Over 148 in Charlotte 49ers @ Tulane Green Wave (4p.m., Saturday, January 27 ESPNU) The 49ers have been hot and will enter this game having won 6 straight games. Yet this are on underdog to the Green Wave, and we expect the Green Wave to be able to control the pace of this game at home. Tulane averages 86 points per game and has gone way over this posted total in 5 straight games. For Charlotte to be competitive in this game they will need to keep up in scoring and will not be able to just sit on the ball or they may find themselves down big quick in this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

01-26-24 | Blazers v. Spurs -3.5 | 100-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
They haven’t been winning a lot of games so it may not be evident to the casual eye, but the Spurs are improving a lot as the season goes on. They have had a very tough schedule recently but they have hung with some of the big boys and they have been covering more frequently. They had a real bad outing last time out in a home blowout to OKC, and that was a very good team and the first home game after a long road trip can be tricky. But now they drop down a couple levels in talent and they are settled at home and they should be primed for a comfortable win over the Blazers. |

01-26-24 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin -3 | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #886 Wisconsin Badgers over Michigan State Spartans (8p.m., Friday, January 26 FS1) Wisconsin is in control to win the Big 10 regular season championship and expect them to take care of business at home against Michigan State. The Spartans have faced 3 bad opponents of late to have a winning streak, but they have struggled against the top teams in the league and the country. Wisconsin has only lost once at home this season and that streak will stay intact after Friday night. |

01-26-24 | Golden Knights v. Rangers UNDER 6 | 5-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 30 m | Show | |
Both teams have been offensively challenged lately and we don’t see either team breaking out for a big scoring night tonight. The losing team has scored one or fewer goals in six of the last seven meetings. Six of the last eight for Vegas have gone under the posted total, and two of the last three for NY have gone under. We expect a low scoring game here. |
