Boston and Miami 8:30 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Okay, Miami is up 2-1 in games but the stats between the clubs are virtually dead even from points, to rebounds to assists and free throws. Then what will be the difference maker today...it's Jimmy Butler! Teams this deep in the playoffs should have positive trends and they both do. Boston is 23-8-1 ATS in their last 32 playoffs games although they are just 1-4 ATS in their last five in the Conference Finals. Miami is 10-2 ATS in the playoffs including their loss on Saturday and the Heat are an amazing 24-8-2 (75%) after a straight-up loss. Defense is the key as the Heat play it better. Take MIAMI! |

L.A. Lakers vs Denver 9:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- Los Angeles up 2-0 in this series are well aware of Denver's resolve and determination not to quit. Trailing 3-1 in the past two series against the Jazz and Clippers the Nuggets managed to overcome to odds and win both series to face the Lakers in the Western Finals. The Lakers as a franchise have not lost a playoff series in which they lede 2-0 since 1969 when the lost to the Celtics. LA was up double figures in the fourth but needed a buzzer beater bye Anthony Davis to get by. This time they will not need the dramatics...Take LOS ANGELES! |

Denver vs L.A. Lakers 9:00 ET Lakers (-) over Nuggets- Denver has accomplished a feat never done before in the NBA and that is win two separate playoff series after trailing three games to one. After defeating the LA Clippers 104-89 in Game 7 in which they held the Clippers scoreless for seven minutes in the final quarter and kept Kawhi Leonard and Paul George with a point in the fourth quarter. Denver is playing in their first conference Final since 2009 when they fell to the Lakers in six games. The Nuggets are 19-9 ATS in the last 28 meetings but LA is 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. These two are used to playing high scoring games as the total between these two is 20-7-2 to the Over. Take the LAKERS! |

Denver vs L.A. Clippers 9:00 ET Clippers (-) over Nuggets- Los Angeles was having so much fun and then they looked at the scoreboard and saw that they had a 19-point lead and they started thinking about the Lakers for the second straight hame and blew another chance to end this series. Yep, well Denver was only thinking about surviving. But, this Los Angeles team has never won anything and knows that they still have to prove themselves and will taking nothing for granted this time around and add the Clippers are 21-7 ATS following a straight-up loss.

Yep, well Denver was only thinking about surviving. After that the Nuggets played 'desperation ball' and found gold and out-scored the shocked Clippers by 21-points for the 111-105 win. But, this Los Angeles team has never won anything and knows that they still have to prove themselves and will taking nothing for granted this time around and add the Clippers are 21-6 ATS following a straight-up loss.

L.A. Lakers vs Houston 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Well, when I hear a team has 'no shot' and everyone has counted them out and are starting to look toward the next matchup funny things can happen. James Harden has been his usually playoff self which is so sub-par (just 2 field goals in Game 4). Houston hasn't changed much in recent seasons they will try and out-run you and out gun you and when they are 'on' they are tough to beat. The problems with shooting teams is the streaks they incur. Really no pressure here on Rockets most thinking they are already dead...Take HOUSTON! |

Boston vs Toronto 9:00 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- The well balanced Boston Celtics in the back of their minds have to be thinking 'what if' that miracle shot that won Game 3 fell short. Instead of a commanding 3-0 lead the Celtics now find themselves 3-3 and in a do-or-die game. Kemba Walker had one of his worst nights of the season and still it took Toronto two overtimes to defeat Boston to tie the series. Karma is a bitch...take CLIPPERS! |

L.A. Lakers vs Houston 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- When looking at this series I get the feeling that the :Lakers are blowing Houston out, but that's not the case as the series is just 2-1 LA and today is Game 4. Houston hasn't changed much in recent seasons they will try and out-run you and out gun you and when they are on they are tough to beat. The problems with shooting teams is the streaks they incur. All that goes by the wayside while Rockets play the Lakers as they dominated L.A. in recent years and are 17-10 ATS in the last 27 meetings and the Lakers are 6-10 ATS as favorites and just 6-11 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Take HOUSTON! |

Toronto vs Boston 6:30 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- The well balanced Boston Celtics are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals and the Raptors find themselves in the same position as last season, down 3-2 in a seven game series. Both these clubs have been great all season long and trends say that both of these clubs are worthy of a wager. Even with Serge Ibaka in a walking boot the Raptors will be all in. So take TORONTO! |

Boston vs Toronto 6:30 ET Raptors (+) over Celtics- I can't help but think the Celtics had in their minds that they were leading this series 3-0...and then OG Anunoby changed the playoffs gods over to his side and Boston has been sunk ever since and they know it. How's that sound...we have seen it happen. I could support my instincts with more fodder and stats but they won't matter in the 'Bubble'. So take TORONTO! |

Houston vs L.A. Lakers 8:30 ET Rockets (+) over Lakers- Houston who has not had the respect of NBA pundits who just don't believe in 'small ball' and little respect for any team that doesn't play much defense. All that goes by the wayside while Rockets play the Lakers as they dominated L.A. in recent years and are 17-8 ATS in the last 25 meetings. Houston is 5-1 ATS in their last six as underdogs and the Lakers are 4-10 ATS as favorites and just 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games overall. Take HOUSTON! |

09-04-20 | Bucks -5.5 v. Heat | Top | 100-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show |
Milwaukee vs Miami 6:30 ET Bucks (-) over Heat- Having had the Heat in both Games 1 & 2 I feel comfortable switching sides in Game 3. Playing against Miami might not be the wisest though I've had as they are 6-0 both ATS and straight-up in the playoffs and have won 10 of 11 overall in the playoffs and are 6-1 over the Bucks in the last seven meetings. Okay, that's all well and good but the way Milwaukee closed last years playoffs blowing a 2-0 games lead over Toronto and having the media whisper that maybe, just maybe Giannis Antetokounmpo isn't a 'big game' player. Well, Milwaukee finished with the best recored in the NBA and it's time for them to measure up against the Heat. Take the BUCKS! |

Toronto vs Boston 5:30 ET Celtics (+) over Toronto- The Raptors had the best 'regular' season finish in the 'bubble' coming away with seven wins in eight games and then went out and swept (4-0) Brooklyn before getting run over by the Celtics in Game 1. Now, it is Boston that is streaking having won six straight and 10 of 11 and are 21-8 ATS as underdogs. Toronto is 24-10-1 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS loss and 8-4 ATS following a straight-up loss and are going down again tonight. Take BOSTON! |

Oklahoma City vs Houston 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- Oklahoma City has been the most pleasant surprise this NBA season and they have shown resiliency coming back from an 0-2 deficit and then again winning game 6 when facing elimination. The Thunder are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 games as underdogs. Houston on the flip side is just 2-5 ATS as favorites and 3-8 ATS following a straight-up loss. Today the Rockets respond! Take HOUSTON! |

Houston vs Oklahoma City 9:00 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets-This is strictly a home-and-home series with which ever team is designated to wear their home colors is the winner and has been the case in all five playoff meetings. These two had closed the regular season meetings with the Thunder having a five-game win and cover streak. This game should play toward the 'number' as Houston is just 2-5 ATS in their last s even games after scoring 100 the previous game while the Thunder is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 game following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points. Take OKLAHOMA CITY |

Denver vs Utah 4:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Jazz- Denver won all three regular season meetings and then took a 1-0 lead in the Playoffs by winning Game 1 135-125 in overtime and then dropped the last three before overcoming a 15-point third quarter deficit and won easy 117-107. Utah now has a 3-2 series lead but are still 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Jazz who have come alive are just 4-17-2 ATS in their last 23 games as favorites while the Nuggets are not any better as they are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games after an ATS win. Denver entered the 6th seed and Utah the 3rd seed and will leave it all on the floor here as they face elimination. Take the NUGGETS! |

08-30-20 | Celtics +2 v. Raptors | Top | 112-94 | Win | 100 | 2 h 2 m | Show |
Boston vs Toronto 6:30 ET Celtics (+) over Raptors- The Raptors helped as a Power Play winner over Brooklyn 150-122 and defeated the Nets by 82 points in their four game sweep. Boston swept Philadelphia 4-0 but not necessarily in such dominating fashion. I rarely have problems thing about playing 'against' any team that scores 150 points in a night. The competition near is much tougher and better seasoned than the Nets. The Celtics are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 15-5 ATS as underdogs. Toronto is still NBA Champs and they are 6-2 ATS in right playoff games as the favorite. But today...it's BOSTON! Thank you and Good Luck! |

08-29-20 | Thunder +5 v. Rockets | Top | 80-114 | Loss | -103 | 21 h 49 m | Show |
Houston vs Oklahoma City 6:30 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- As I said last time out the Rockets hot shooting would taper off and it did in Game 4. The question here is has Houston recovered enough after having fallen off with their 3-point shooting. OKC had won five straight in the series until these playoffs and it seems Houston has been saving it all up for this but the Thunder responded with a win in Games 3 & 4 and have evened the series. As I said before this game will show which club has more character. I don't believe that simply changing uniforms without the benefit of a home crown cheering for you makes much difference although the listed home team has won all four. Ha! The Thunder were one of the league's biggest surprises this season and had the best ATS record in the NBA and with desperate times at hand they will respond. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

Utah now has a 3-1 series lead but are still 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Jazz who have come alive are just 4-16-2 ATS in their last 22 games as favorites while the Nuggets are not any better as they are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games after an ATS win. Denver entered the 6th seed and Utah the 3rd seed and will leave it all on the floor here as they face elimination. Take the NUGGETS! |

L.A. Lakers vs Portland 8:30 ET Lakers (-) over Trailblazers- Portland is the team that many feel can knock the Lakers out of the playoffs as they have given Los Angeles fits over the years going 47-23 ATS in the last 70 regular season meetings. But, this is the playoffs and the Lakers got their 'wakeup' call in Game 1 which was their sixth straight ATS loss to the Blazers. Lillard is hurting and LA gets serious. Take the LAKERS! |

Boston vs Philadelphia 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- It really doesn't look the 76ers can play with Boston in this series. Joel Embiid is a one man gang but that hasn't been enough as they have dropped the first two scoring 101 points in both losses. The Sixers bench has not picked up the slack left since Ben Simmons went down but I expect more from them in Game 3. Philly is 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Oklahoma City vs Houston 3:30 ET Thunder (+) over Rockets- Houston did their thing in Game 1 taking 52 3-point shots and when they are falling they are difficult to beat. The surprising Thunder weren't expected to be where they are at this time and will be ready for the Rockets who the have defeated five of the last six meetings. OKC has been under-rated all season and is 41-20 ATS in their last 61 games as underdogs and 10-2 ATS following a loss of 10 points. Houston is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 as favorites and 4-9 after scoring more than 100 points. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Philadelphia vs Boston 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- The Celtics were able to pull off a Game 1 win by outscoring the 76ers 34-20 after falling behind 81-75 early in the fourth quarter. That was Boston's second win in five tries against Philadelphia who will once again be without Ben Simmons while the Celts lost the services of Gordon Hayward who went down with a bad ankle sprain. The point spread trends are heavy on Boston but the Sixers need to show up here. Take PHILADELPHIA! There is a transmission issue...take PHILADELPHIA |

Portland vs L.A. Lakers 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Lakers- While Portland was scratching and clawing for their play-in opportunity the Lakers guaranteed the No 1 seed in the West played uninspired ball with numerous players 'resting' as they lost four of their final five. The Trailblazers have had an emotional run during the restart that will drain their energy. They don't have a glorious playoff record as they are 4-9-1 ATS as a playoff underdog and just 10-26-2 ATS in 38 Conference Quarterfinal games. But, Portland does come to play when the Lakers are their opponent as they are 46-22 ATS in the last 68 meetings overall and that a good size sample. The Los Angeles 'numbers' are all negative as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall and 6-13 ATS in their last 19 after a 10-point loss. Playing possum...we will see. Take the LAKERS! If this message is garbled play is LAKERS! |

08-17-20 | 76ers +5.5 v. Celtics | Top | 101-109 | Loss | -104 | 25 h 57 m | Show |
Philadelphia vs Boston 3:30 ET Celtics 76ers – The way these two came into this game may be the telling a tale one way or another. Philadelphia was 4-4 during the restart losing three straight before closing by crushing Houston a club missing all their firepower. The Sixers of course will be without Ben Simmons but that just gives Joel Embiid more room to roam. Boston was 5-3 in Orlando and totally laid down in their final game getting beat by the winless (0-7) Wizards. That scares me is I believe the Celtics will be ready to play and I have doubts about the Sixers after routing the Rockets on the final day as they are 0-6 following a win of 10-points or greater. But, Philly is 4-1 ATS as playoff underdogs but are just 5-12 ATS in the last 17 meetings with Boston. The Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 Conference Quarterfinal games. Tough call but the public sentiment and money is on the Celtics. In a surprise. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Memphis vs Portland 2:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Trailblazers- Portland has gone 6-2 in Florida while the Grizzlies lost their first four and then split the final four so they were 2-6 SU. This is a curious playoff situation as the Trailblazers only have two win one of a possible pair of games while Memphis must win both game to advance. It would be the other way around as these two met in the opening of the restart and Memphis blew a huge lead and lost in OT 140-135 otherwise the Blazers would be the one needing to win twice. Portland is 6-13-1 vARTS when playing a sub-500 team and like an old friend once said to me I can win twice and lose only once if I play the team facing elimination. Take MEMPHIS! Thank you and Good Luck! |

Philadelphia vs Portland 6:30 ET 76ers (+) over Trailblazers- The media types are going crazy as they believe that the 76ers are in trouble now that Ben Simmons is out. What they should realize is that Philadelphia plays better when either Simmons or Joel Embiid are out. The floor just may not be big enough for both of them to be on it at the same time. Portland's loss to the Clippers yesterday leaves them a half-game ahead of San Antonio and Phoenix for the final play-in berth. The Blazers are 5-11-1 ATS when playing on one days rest. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

Miami has a one-game lead over the Pacers and 76ers for the fourth seed in the East and are 21-5 ATS in the last 26 meetings with the Suns.

But, understanding all of that it's difficult for me to see how the Lakers can be a virtual pick'em against this Houston team. Note that L.A. is 1-5 ATS in their last six games as a favorite and the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs. Take HOUSTON! |

The Lakers lead by 5.5 games but there is concern about Anthony Davis and his eye that was scratched Saturday.

But, Orlando is 4-0 ATS in their ;last four as underdogs including 4-0 ATS in their last four on the road and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take ORLANDO! |

LA Lakers at LA Clippers 3:30 ET Lakers (+) over Clippers- The Clippers are six game behind the Lakers in the loss column but have defeated this intra-city rivals twice this season with this being the third meeting. The Clippers now have a healthy squad and are 10-0 when at full strength and have averaged a 17-point victory margin in their past six games. The Lakers are off of a 113-103 win over Milwaukee when James just took over the floor and I expect much of the same today. Take the LAKERS! |

Michigan at Maryland 12:00 ET Wolverines (+) over Terrapins- This will be the third opportunity for Maryland to clinch a share of the Big Ten regular season championship coming off of a loss to Rutgers on Tuesday 78-67. Is it conference pressure that has the Terrapins o their heels and now they must defeat a Michigan team that they haven't beaten in three years going 0-3 ATS. The Wolverines need this much more than Maryland and can insure a better than .500 conference record with a win here. The road team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MICHIGAN! |

Utah at Boston 7:00 ET Jazz (+) over Celtics- Just when it looks like the Celtics were putting it together for the stretch run they have incurred a rash of injuries that will keep Gordon Hayward and Jaylen Brown out of the lineup and Kemba Walker is still ailing. Utah enters this game on a 3-game winning streak with their last loss at home against the Celtics 114-103 and are 5-0 ATS as road underdogs. Boston is 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games but this 'number' tells me that will struggle here. Take UTAH! |

Virginia at Miami-Fl 9:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Hokies- The defending National Champions started the season slowing as if with a hangover from their run through the NCAA Big Dance last year and getting ready to do it against with six straight wins. Miami has dropped two straight both on the road and is danger of having back-to-back losing season's which hasn't happen to a Jim Larranaga club since 1993. Surprisingly enough the Cavaliers trail the lifetime series 12-11 and are 2-7 straight-up in Miami and just 5-14 -1 ATS in their last 20 games as a favorite. Take the HURRICANES! |

The Celtics have won the past three meeting this season by an average of 13.3 points but are just 1-3-1 ATS in Cleveland. There is something way 'wrong' with this 'number' as the Cavaliers will be without center Andre Drummond, guard Daruis Garland and a questionable Tristian Thompson and yet the Celtics price is the lowest between these two clubs I the last 10 meetings. Tale CLEVELAND! |

Purdue at Iowa 9:00 ET Boilermakers (+) over Hawkeyes- Here we go again with the Boilermakers, I have been involved with and against this 15-14 club all season with decent success. Although they let me down against Michigan they provided the wining margin against Wisconsin, Indiana and a huge 104-68 win over these same Hawkeyes. Tonight is Senior night in Iowa and they have ben promising revenge on Purdue, buy, ya know it just doesn't happen because you say it will. Senior night is not a good night for the home team as there are countless distracts and melancholy memories. Purdue has won the last three meetings by an average 25 points and sweep the series.

The Thunder were pasted last time out 133-86 by Milwaukee but have had four days to regroup and have a huge positive trend after losing by 10-points or more going 8-0 SU and ATS in their following eight games. These two have split a pair of games with each home team holding serve. OKC is 10-4 ATS as a home underdog in their last 14 while the Clippers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven trips tp Oklahoma City.

Boston has won 14 of 17 and has already seen this 'small ball' play from the Rockets, but will it help. The oddsmaker doesn't believe so, look at this line. The Celtics return home after winning five straight with the last four coming on the road going 5-0 ATS. Houston is 8-2 ATS on the road against team with winning records and are 6-2 ATS as road underdogs. Take the ROCKETS! |

The Seminoles have a half-game lead over Louisville trying to win their last first ACC title. Clemson at 14-13 is two years removed from a Sweet-16 appearance and just had a 3-game winning streak stopped on Tuesday by Megabucks winner Georgia Tech. With a 'double-bye' already assured for the ACC Tournament the Seminoles may come out flat here. Take CLEMSON! |

The Huskies just ended a nine-game losing streak with a 25-point 87-52 win over California and get to play their in-state competition who they have dominated through the years. Washington has won seven of the last 10 meetings at home and lead the all-time series 185-105.

Indiana at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Hoosiers- Now, this makes no sense to me at all. Here is Purdue having lost their last four their longest losing streak in six years a heavy favorite over Indiana who has won their last two and have five wins over nationally ranked teams. But, there are a few trends that explain this 'number.' To start with the Hoosiers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games including 1-5 ATS as road underdogs, while Purdue is 17-8-1 ATS in their last 26 games as home favorite. I can add that Indiana is 3-7 ATS after a straight-up win and the home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take PURDUE! |

Minnesota who had dropped five of their previous games came alive with a 83-57 rout of Northwestern Sunday. The Terrapins have won and covered the last three meetings and yet this 'price' is low. Maybe the reason is that Maryland will be ESPN's focal point Saturday as they host Michigan State. For whatever reason this line is way too low. Something's up? Take MINNESOTA! |

Boston at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Celtics- Sometimes as they say 'less is more' as the supporting cast is performing at a higher level with All-Star Damian Lillard sidelined with a groin injury. Even Carmelo Anthony is beginning to look like a real NBA player as he scored a season's best 32 points last time out and CJ McCollum put up a season-high 41 points. On the other side of the coin the Celtics young phenom Jayson Tatum matched his career high of 41 points against the Lakers Sunday picking up the slack left with Kemba Walker's absence. Boston had won 12 of 14 before falling to LA and are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall. The Celtics are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 meetings in Portland but, the Blazers who are playing better of late are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games. Take the TRAILBLAZERS! |

T.C.U. at Iowa State 7:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Cyclones- Both of these Big-12 clubs are having disappointing seasons as they enter this contest winning just 3-of-10. TCU who has 16 wins on the year is just 1-8 on the road and the home Cyclones have suffered their two worst losses in school history. Iowa State is 2-6 ATS in their last eight while the Horned Frogs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine.

Louisville at Florida State 7:00 ET Cardinals (+) over Seminoles- No. 8 Florida State is one of the more talented teams in the nation and have won their last three and six of seven. Louisville who has a deep basketball tradition is 23-5 on the season and have only one player scoring in double-digits. That is a testament to a well coached team with balance. The Seminoles took the first meeting at Louisville 78-65 in early January a stinging loss that grounded the Cardinals. Louisville is 5-0 ATS in their last five against teams with winning records and the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take LOUISVILLE! |

Indiana at Toronto 6:00 ET Pacers (+) over Raptors- Toronto who many though would take a step down after losing Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers but have played like true Champions without him. The Raptors lost their final game before the All-Star break ending a franchise record 15-game winning streak but rebounded (noticed how I fit that in) with a 118-101 win over Phoenix. Meanwhile, Indiana ended a six game losing streak with a win over Milwaukee and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. As good as the Raptors have been they are just 2-8 ATS in games following a win by 10-points or more. Take INDIANA! |

But, Rutgers is a tougher club this season and is 12-5-1 in their last 18 games overall and 10-4-2 ATS in their last 16 games as underdogs. The Badgers are 1-4-2 ATS following a straight-up win. Take RUTGERS! |

L.S.U. at South Carolina 6:00 ET Gamecocks (+) over Tigers- Yeah, well this one look bogus to me...after losing their last two at Alabama and at home to Kentucky the oddsmaker seems to think that LSU is ready to swoon. The Gamecocks have been sneaking up on people as the leaders knocked each other around they have won five of six. The Tigers find them selves in almost the same spot as last year when the entered Columbia on a 3-game slide and posted a 89-67 victory to end their slide. This year it's only at two-games until the final buzzer here...then it will be three. Take SOUTH CAROLINA! |

Dallas at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Mavericks- The Dallas Mavericks is 33-22 at the break and are tied with Oklahoma City for the 7thseed in the Western Conference. The key to the Mavs resurgence has been the play of Luca Doncic who miss seven games before the break with Dallas losing five but rebounded with a 20-point win over the Kings when he returned to the lineup. Orlando who has struggled offensively posted a pair of wins before the break scoring 135 and 116 points after having lost 8-of-10. The Mavericks have had the best of the Magic winning 10 of the last 13 meetings in Orlando. Ugly trends surround the Magic as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-9 ATS overall in their last 11 as host. Still, the Mavs fall short here. Take ORLANDO! |

These two clubs met on January 2 and were both at 13-22 at that time, but, since then the Grizzlies have gone 15-4 and the Kings 8-11. Sacramento won that matchup 128-123 after overcoming a 20-point deficit. Jabari Parker is expected to make his team debut for the Kings tonight after being acquired from Atlanta. Although the Kings are 5-12-11 ATS in their last 18 home gams they are 4-1 ATS against the Grizzlies at home and they are 19-7 ATS when playing with three or more days rest. Take SACRAMENTO! |

No. 25 Ohio State has the nation's 14th ranked defense efficiency and hold opponents to 41.2% shooting on 2-point field goals. This will be the only regular season meeting and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and now I ask. With the home court and higher poll ranking I question by the 'price' on Iowa is so cheap. The Buckeyes are 10-3 following a ATS win while the Hawkeyes are 0-3-2 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up win. Take OHIO STATE! |

The Tigers have struggled from the perimeter and have lost projected NBA lottery pick Issac Okoro who suffered a hamstring injury and sat out Saturday's loss at Missouri as they have dropped three of five on the road. Georgia meanwhile has lost four straight and eight of nine but will have a healthy Anthony Edwards who many expect to be the top NBA pick in June. Take GEORGIA! |

When you consider that the Tar Heels started the year 5-0 and have gone 5-15 since after opening conference play with a 75-65 win over Notre Dame. The Tar heels were without freshman sensation Cole Anthony who has sideline with an injury are aren ow 0-5 since his return.

San Diego State at Boise State 4:00 ET Broncos (+) over Aztecs- For a college basketball team to go undefeated, any college basketball team on any level to go undefeated is a huge accomplishment these days with all of the added games and early season tournaments adding games with unfamiliar opponents. As the season wears on an undefeated team will feel the pressure increase as the regular season draws to a close. No. 4 San Diego State (25-0) will feel the pressure today at ExtraMile Arena where Boise State is 12-1 on the year. The home team have won and 'covered' the last four meetings but the Aztecs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Broncos are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home game including 12-1 Straight-up this season. With the added pressure on San Diego State and the home court advantage of playing in Boise, I give the point spread edge to the home team. Take BOISE STATE! |

West Virginia at Baylor 4:00 ET Mountaineers (+) over Bears- Without question Baylor is the best college basketball team that I have seen play this season. They are deserving of their NO. 1 ranked and their 15-5 ATS record will attest to their value. West Virginia seems to be a Bob Huggins clone team, they play great defense in big game but often come up short on the other end of the floor. The Mountaineers have lost two straight and must have been looking ahead in their last game at home against Kansas 58-49 as they failed to score in the final 5:07. Huggins will have them ready here and it will come down to the final buzzer which means take the dig. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |

Oklahoma City is 3-0 in the season series and have lost their last two after having won 9-of-10. The Thunder are 21-5 ATS on the road and 37-16 ATS in their last 53 games as an underdog.

The Bucks who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo in Monday's win over Sacramento are now 5-0 both SU and ATS when the 'Freak' sits out. The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at home and have lost four straight to the Bucks including a pair of blowout losses this season. After all that data the line-maker has installed the Bucks as a meager favorite and I expect Indiana who is 1-5 since the return of Victor Oladipo to rise tonight. Take INDIANA! |

The Trailblazers after a horrid start to the season are 2.5 games behind eighth place Memphis and the Pelicans follow them 2.5 games back. The Pelicans are off of a win at Indiana and did it without their two power forwards as both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson sat out. Portland lost in an earlier visit to New Orleans 115-104 in November has won six of their last eight games straight-up and 7-1 ATS get the money here. Although the Pelicans are 5-2 ATS as home favorites they are just 8-17 ATS when playing a team with a losing record. Take PORTLAND! |

02-10-20 | Heat v. Warriors +5.5 | Top | 113-101 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
Miami at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Heat- The storyline here is the 'new' make-up of players added and dismissed from these two clubs since the trade deadline. Golden State has added former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins who spent five plus years in Minnesota and broke in with 24 points against the Lakers in a 125-120 loss on Saturday. Miami added Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder who have yet to mesh in with the Heat as they have lost their last three and six of their last eight. Although Miami is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight-up loss but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine as road favorites. Take the WARRIORS! |

02-10-20 | Florida State v. Duke -8 | Top | 65-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 35 m | Show |
Florida State at Duke 7:00 ET Blue Devils (-) over Seminoles- These two ACC clubs are both ranked in the Top-10 with identical (20-3) records as Florida State is No. 8 and Duke at No. 7. The Blue Devils survived a scare at North Carolina where they trailed by 13 with 4:30 to go and managed to overcome the Tar Heels at the buzzer in overtime 98-96 while the Seminoles were cruising by Miami 99-81. High scoring Duke (2nd in the nation) is averaging 83.1 points per game while Florida State who is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall and 1-5 ATS after straight-up win. The Devils are also 2-5 ATS in their last seven but the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and and the 'line' says to me...lay it. Take DUKE! |

02-09-20 | Grizzlies v. Wizards +2.5 | Top | 106-99 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 41 m | Show |
Memphis at Washington 6:00 ET Wizards (+) over Grizzlies- Despite their loss at Philadelphia and dropping to .500 on the season Memphis is still clinging to the final payoffs spot in the Western Conference. Washington is coming off of a thrilling 119-118 win over Dallas with Bradley Beal scoring 29 points and newcomer Shabazz Napier adding 14 in his debut. The Wizards will also have Jerome Robinson available Sunday. The Grizzlies posted a 128-11 home win over the Wizards back in mid December and now it's turn-about. The Wiz are 5-1 ATS as a home dog in their last six and Memphis is 1-4 ATS in D.C. Take WASHINGTON! |

02-09-20 | Ohio State +1.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 28 m | Show |
Ohio State at Wisconsin 1:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin has lost three of their last four with their lone win over Michigan State who everyone seems to be beating these days and now Ohio State who had six losses in seven games has won their last three. The Buckeyes are actually 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall but when hot they stay hot and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up win. This is a different kind of season for the Badgers as their coaching change hasn't met previous standards as they are 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 following a loss. Take OHIO STATE! |

02-08-20 | Nuggets v. Suns +3.5 | Top | 117-108 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
Denver at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Nuggets- Denver is feeling pretty good about themselves as they have won 12 of 17 but they are especially proud of their last win at Utah when they had just seven players available. The Nuggets should be very confident having defeated the Suns four straight and 14 of the past 16 meetings. Phoenix who is out of the playoff picture in the West once again broke a four-game losing streak against Houston last night scoring their biggest margin of victory this season winning 127-91. Denver is not only 5-11 ATS after a straight-up win they are just 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns love playing on Saturday's when they are 6-1-1 ATS. Take PHOENIX! |

02-08-20 | Seton Hall +3.5 v. Villanova | Top | 70-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Villanova 2:30 ET Pirates (+) over Wildcats- No. 10 Villanova is off of back-to-back Big East losses and for the most part the common thought is that they will recover at home against Seton Hall. The problem is that the No. 12 Pirates who bring the Conference's leading scorer Myles Powell have different ideas. The Wildcats have the confidence that they will maintain the status-quo as they haven't lost at home to Seton Hall since 1994. But, it is a new era and the Hall is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. Villanova just doesn't seem to have the 'it' favor this season and the Pirates have covered three of the last four meetings. Take SETON HALL! |

02-07-20 | Maryland +3.5 v. Illinois | Top | 75-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Maryland at Illinois 8:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Illini- As it should be these two will be battling for the top spot in the Big Ten as No. 9 Maryland invades Champaign on a five-game winning streak against No. 20 Illinois. These two met in their conference opener at Maryland where the Terps prevailed as a 10-point favorite winning 59-58 which moved the underdog to 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. But, here we have the Illini who are 12-1 SU at home in a virtual pick-em situation hosting and not given any room to win and not cover. Much too shallow a price. Take MARYLAND! |

02-06-20 | Spurs +3.5 v. Blazers | Top | 117-125 | Loss | -102 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both of these clubs have been perennial playoff teams that are on the outside looking in as Portland (23-28) sits in the ninth spot and San Antonio (22-28) in the tenth spot trailing Memphis who is 26-25. The Spurs are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they are displaced for a stretch of eight games and have already dropped their first two in LA to both the Lakers and Clippers. The Blazers have been inconsistent for the most part and are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games including 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite. San Antonio's play has improved after a horrid start and are 11-3-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and 6-2 in their last eight as underdogs. Take the SPURS! |

02-06-20 | Connecticut +3 v. Tulsa | Top | 72-56 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show |
Connecticut at Tulsa 7:00 ET Huskies (+) over Golden Hurricane- Tulsa is 15-6 SU on the season and have won their last six going 6-0 ATS and now they come up a meager favorite against a Connecticut team that is 0-6 SU on the road. The Golden Hurricane have won five straight at home against the Huskies and have lost only once at home. But, currently they are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games as home favorites. Three of the past five gams went overtime and the points should be good here. Take CONNECTICUT! |

02-05-20 | Seton Hall v. Georgetown +3.5 | Top | 78-71 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Seton Hall at Georgetown 8:30 ET Hoyas (+) over Pirates- Georgetown shown plenty of heart by rallying from 17-points down against St. John's to pull out a 73-72 victory ending a 3-game slide and now face No. 13 Seton Hall who had their 10-game winning streak ended by Xavier last time out. In that contest the Musketeers went out to a 30-6 lead and were out-rebounded 51-22 and that simply show that Xavier wanted it more. The Hoyas are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take GEORGETOWN! |

02-05-20 | Grizzlies +5 v. Mavs | Top | 121-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 30 m | Show |
Memphis at Dallas 8:30 ET Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has won their last two without start Luka Doncic with Kristaps Porzingis getting back into the flow scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds against Indiana on Monday. For Memphis there has been a bonding of sorts as players have stepped-up and commented on the Andre Oguodala situation where he refuses to play for the Grizzlies. The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 following a win. Memphis meanwhile is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Take the GRIZZLIES! |

02-05-20 | Iowa v. Purdue -4 | Top | 68-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 44 m | Show |
Iowa at Purdue 7:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Hawkeyes- Purdue has been one of the more inconsistent teams in college basketball this season and here they come being favored over No. 17 Iowa. The Hawkeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring averaging 78.9 points per contest and is led by junior center Luka Garza who is scoring 23 points per game. The Boilermakers trailed lowly Northwestern by 10 in the second half and rallied by scoring the final 11 points of the game to steal the victory. They are 9-2 SU at home and the odds-makers believe that they win here and so do I. (Why are they favored?) Take PURDUE! |

02-04-20 | Bucks v. Pelicans +6.5 | Top | 120-108 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 44 m | Show |
Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:35 ET Pelicans (+) over Bucks- The Pelicans started to make a positive move in early January and have only improved their with the debut of Zion Williamson added to the line-up. Milwaukee of course brings the most dynamic player in the NBA today with Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 30 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists Saturday as he led the Bucks to their 10 win in their last 11 games. The quickly improving Pelicans are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games and are 6-3 ATS in their last eight games as home dogs and 8-2 ATS in their last eight home games overall. Look for the Pels who had won three straight before Houston did them in last time out to rebound here both on boards and scoreboard. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

02-04-20 | Auburn v. Arkansas +1 | Top | 79-76 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 48 m | Show |
Auburn at Arkansas 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- Auburn has been good to 'us' this season both with and against and now they are coming off of a huge win at home over Kentucky and have won four in-a-row since dropping a pair to Alabama and Florida. The Razorbacks broke a 3-game SEC losing streak with a 82-78 road win over Alabama and are now 4-4 in conference. The No. 18 Tigers are 8-0 in SEC action but are aware that LSU visits next and are already thinking about a letdown. Arkansas has 16 wins and that is no fluke as they lead the nation in 3-point field goal percentage defense (24.7) and top the SEC in steals pr games. Look for the RAZORBACKS to gore the Tigers. Take ARKANSAS! |

02-03-20 | Baylor v. Kansas State +7.5 | Top | 73-67 | Win | 100 | 9 h 23 m | Show |
Baylor at Kansas State 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Bears- The nation's No. 1 team certainly deserve their lofty ranking as they have reeled of 18 straight wins and are a splendid 14-6 ATS on the season including 5-0 ATS in true road games. Kansas State is having a down season at 9-12 but are 8-3 SU at home. The Bears have done it more with defense than anything else as they are fifth in the nation on scoring defense holding opponents to 58 points per game. The odd thing about this series is that the road team is 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the underdog 21-8-2 ATS in the last 31 meetings with K.State being favored most of the time. Take KANSAS STATE! |

02-03-20 | 76ers +3.5 v. Heat | Top | 106-137 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 26 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Miami 7:35 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- The NBA's two clubs with the best home records will clash in Miami where the Heat are 21-3 SU while the 76ers are 22-2 SU when hosting but take on a different hue when on the road. Philadelphia is just 9-17 SU on the road and are coming off of a beating at Boston 116-95 where Joel Embiid was just 1-for-11 shooting from the floor. Miami meanwhile was pounding the Magic at Orlando and return home where they are 15-6-1 ATS as favorites in their last 22 games while the Sixers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. But, with this line so low and Philly is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Miami and I expect them to rebound here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

02-02-20 | Georgetown +2 v. St. John's | Top | 73-72 | Win | 100 | 2 h 13 m | Show |
Georgetown at St. John's 1:00 ET Hoyas (+) over Red Storm- A pair of Big East bottom feeders will battle to keep out of the baseball as St. John's hosts Georgetown in Madison Square Garden. This is the second meeting of the season between these two as the Hoyas crushed the Storm in the first first time out 87-66. Most would expect St. John's to rebound here and even the series but the 'number' tells me something else. Georgetown has lost three straight, 5-of-6 and 6-of-8 while the Red Storm have lost 7-of-9. The home team is 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but this game is not on the St. John's campus. Take GEORGETOWN! |

02-01-20 | 76ers +2.5 v. Celtics | Top | 95-116 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Boston 8:30 ET 76ers (+) over Celtics- Now this one has me taken back a bit as Boston has opened a meager favorite here at home and the 'price' has dwindled since. What causes my attention to peak here is the home and away records of both teams. Philadelphia as most know are a dominating 22-2 at home while posting a poor 9-16 record on the road. Boston is 19-5 SU at home and are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with winning records. The 76ers are 0-5-1 ATS as road underdogs and are not only 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings and 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Boston. This line makes no sense to me...take PHILADELPHIA! |

02-01-20 | Rutgers +1.5 v. Michigan | Top | 63-69 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
Rutgers vs Michigan 4:30 ET Scarlet Knights (+) over Wolverines- It hasn't been the best of season's for the Wolverines as they have been booted out of the Top-10 and will at this point need a deep run in their conference tournament to have a chance to qualify. This must be basketball as No. 25 Rutgers is looking for their first NCAA berth in 28 years and their first win ever over Michigan after 10 unsuccessful attempts. The Knights are 19-7-3 ATS in their last 29 games overall so the program is on an upswing while the Wolverines are 0-7-1 ATS against teams with a straight-up winning record and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Take RUTGERS! |

Louisville at N.C. State 2:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Cardinals- The Cardinals come flying into Raleigh on a 7-game win streak while the ground Wolfpack has lost their last two losing to Middle of the roaders North Carolina and Georgia Tech after having defeated Virginia. NC State is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games as a home underdog and the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. No. 6 Louisville is 5-0 on the ACC road while and have won four of the last five meetings except for their last visit here to close the 2018 season. Take NC STATE! |

01-31-20 | Thunder v. Suns +1 | Top | 111-107 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
Oklahoma City at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City who is a more than respectable 14-10 straight-up on the road are an amazing 19-5 ATS and have won four in-a-row away from home outright. Phoenix who is 0-6 ATS in their last six home games are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight-up win but they are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as an underdog. Suns who have shown great strides this season played their first 30 of 32 games without former No. 1 draft pick Deandre Ayton who was 13-of-15 shooting with nine rebounds in their 133-104 rout at Dallas. Take PHOENIX! |

V.C.U at Rhode Island 7:00 ET VCU Rams over RI Rams- Two of the Atlantic-10 better clubs go at it in Rhode Island where the Rams will host Virginia Commonwealth. VCU has some wonderful trends to support their backers as they are 25-10 ATS in their last 35 as road favorites and are 12-5- ATS in their last 17 games following an ATS win. URI meanwhile is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall but just 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine home games as underdogs. Also note that the favorites is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take VCU! |

01-30-20 | Jazz +1.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 100-106 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 30 m | Show |
Utah at Denver 10:35 ET Jazz (+) over Jazz- Oddly enough this air of better Western Conference foe are off of losses as Utah has dropped their last two including a loss at San Antonio last night and the Nuggets are off of a loss at Memphis. The Jazz had won 19 of 21 before the double losses and Denver had won 8-of-11. It appears to me that this line is a bit short as considering Nuggets are 6-0-1 after a loss and the Jazz is 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings in Denver. But, Utah is n15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 and 6-1 ATS following a ATS loss and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Take UTAH! |
