03-10-17 | Troy State v. Georgia Southern | 90-70 | Win | 100 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
Troy -1 The Georgia Southern Eagles started the season playing some very good basketball, but they have skidded to the finish of the season. Troy played extremely well in their game against Appalachian State, and I think this is a Troy team that can make a run here in this Sun Belt Tournament. Troy has arguably the best player in the conference in Jordon Varnado. He can do a little bit of everything, and I don't see anyone on this Georgia Southern team being able to guard him. The oddsmakers are telling us a lot with this line as well. Troy is favored despite being the sixth seed in this tournament. Georgia Southern is the three seed. It seems backward doesn't it? You have to remember that Vegas oddsmakers are very smart, and I think this says they know how strong of a team Troy is. Georgia Southern doesn't have the team leaders that Troy does, and I'll take Troy in this matchup. Take Troy. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-10-17 | Duke +3.5 v. North Carolina | 93-83 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
Duke +3.5 The Blue Devils catch points here against UNC in the ACC Tourney and have value in this spot. We saw Duke and UNC split their regular season meetings and the Blue Devils enter play here with a full head of steam. Looking to become the first team to win the ACC from where they started the tournament, the Blue Devils knocked off Clemson and then erased a 10 point 2nd half deficit to beat Louisville. Duke is playing extremely well right now and the momentum is certainly on their side. This is the first time in quite some time everyone is healthy. The Blue Devils have been banged up all season long, but with everyone healthy, we're seeing just what this team is capable of. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Blue Devils are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Duke is getting production from just about everyone. Jayson Tatum, Grayson Allen, and Luke Kennard are all on their top game. This is a lot of points to give them on Friday. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

03-09-17 | Kansas State v. Baylor -5 | 70-64 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
Baylor -5 The Baylor Bears lost at home to the Kansas State Wildcats in their last meeting. That's a game Baylor would like to get some revenge for in this contest. If you look back at that one, it makes quite a bit of sense. Baylor had just lost a heartbreaker to Kansas on the road, and then came home in a bad spot and was flat against Kansas State. They shouldn't be flat here. Baylor is flying under the radar a bit because the Big 12 is so good, but this Baylor Bears team is really talented. Motley is one of the best forwards in the country, and Kansas State isn't going to be able to keep him off the glass here. Kansas State is playing worse late in the year than they did in the middle of the season. I like to fade teams trending the wrong way this time of the year. Take Baylor. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-09-17 | UC Riverside v. UC-Irvine UNDER 130.5 | 67-76 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 10 m | Show | |
UC Riverside vs. UC Irvine Under 129 The UC Riverside Highlanders rank in the bottom ten in the country in terms of total offense. This is a team that shoots the ball horribly. They don't have any reliable outside shooters, and their interior game isn't very good either. UC Irvine is a pretty good offense, but they do tend to rely a little too much on Luke Nelson. The Anteaters can go through stretches where they don't score much at all. UC Riverside is also a good defensive team. Their defensive numbers have improved as the year went along. This game is played on a neutral court that is a hockey arena. This is a much bigger arena than either of these teams ever play in. That can take some time to get accustomed to. This is both teams first games in the Honda Center so far this season. A low scoring game with two good defenses having the upper hand. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-09-17 | Cavs -5 v. Pistons | 101-106 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 59 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -5 Cleveland clashes with division rival Detroit and they have value here. The Cavaliers could receive a huge boost on Thursday night. JR Smith, who has been sidelined with a thumb injury, has the possibility to be back in the lineup. Smith will be a welcomed sight as he provides another 3 point threat, along with an attacker off the dribble. This is a beautiful bounce back spot for the Cavs. After getting knocked around at home by Miami, there is going to be some frustrations getting taken out here. We've seen what this Cavs team can do when they're fired up. Some trends to note. Pistons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Central. Pistons are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Detroit has not been good in spots like this. Expect Cleveland to really control this game, which gives them plenty of value here. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-09-17 | Indiana v. Iowa +1.5 | 95-73 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 2 m | Show | |
Iowa +1.5 The Hawkeyes and Hoosiers clash in the Big 10 Tournament on Thursday night and Iowa plus the point and a half is the move here. Iowa has just been much more consistent this season as a whole. The Hawkeyes enters the Big Ten tourney red hot, winners of 4 straight games, which is always a nice team to back. When entering conference tournaments, catching the teams that closed the regular season out on a run has proven to be profitable in the past. Iowa has been one of the best in terms of offensive production as well. The Hawkeyes have averaged above 80 points per game, as their inside out game is one of the best in the conference. Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Big Ten. Hawkeyes are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. Iowa has an edge here. They're more consistent and can create a lot of opportunities for themselves in this spot. Back Iowa ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

03-08-17 | Missouri v. Auburn -6 | 86-83 | Loss | -115 | 21 h 43 m | Show | |
Auburn -6 It's the battle of the Tigers here on Wednesday night and Auburn is the move here laying the points. Missouri has just been horrible this season. They have just 7 wins on the season and average only 68 points per game. They get an Auburn team that just beat them last time out, as Auburn threw up 89 points. Expect Auburn to really push the tempo here. Missouri just doesn't have the fire power to keep up in the one. They struggle with transition defense and should give way for some easy buckets for Auburn in this one. Some trends to note. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. This is a nice play here. Auburn has played well against bad teams and this isn't necessarily a big spread to cover against a bad team. Back Auburn ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

03-08-17 | Clippers -3 v. Wolves | 91-107 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 60 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers -3 The Clippers lay a small number on the road Wednesday and they hold value here against this young Minnesota team. Los Angeles is playing much better as of late as they've put together back to back wins, which includes a nice win over Boston last time out. Where the value lies comes from the how good this Los Angeles team is against the Timberwolves. They have captured wins in 16 of their last 17 against the Twolves and have won 9 straight inside the Target Center. Some trends to note. Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Clippers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 days rest. This is a nice spot for the Clippers given the small number to lay. They'e had the Timberwolves number and with how they've played on the road lately, this is a play to be made on Wednesday. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-08-17 | LSU v. Mississippi State -6 | 52-79 | Win | 100 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Mississippi State -6 The LSU Tigers are going to have a new head coach after the end of the season. The end of the season should be on Wednesday night for them. This LSU team has severely underachieved in each of the last two years. Johnny Jones has done a really bad job maximizing the talent he has gotten while at LSU. While you could say the team might be pumped up to send him out with a win, we haven't seen them fight hard for him any before. Why would they start now when they know he is gone? Mississippi State isn't a great team, but they don't have to be to cover this number against a bad LSU team. This LSU defense is the worst in the SEC by a mile. LSU gives up easy layup after easy layup on a consistent basis. Lay the points here as LSU should be ready to end this season as soon as possible. Back Mississippi State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-07-17 | Wizards -3.5 v. Suns | 131-127 | Win | 100 | 22 h 34 m | Show | |
Washington Wizards -3.5 The Wizards take on the Suns Tuesday night and laying the points with the road favorite is a solid move here. Washington got a much needed win as they have played a little sloppy since their hot run. However, a huge comeback against the Magic in what was eventually a 115-114 win has them playing with extreme confidence right now. The Wizards have a huge advantage here over the Suns. Phoenix simply does not have the defense to keep up with players like Wall and Beal, along with Gortat, who should dominate the paint here against the Suns. Some trends to note. Wizards are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games. Wizards are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 vs. Western Conference. The Wizards have some value here. They have many more playmakers and should really pick apart this Suns defense here on Tuesday night. Back Washington ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-06-17 | Rockets v. Spurs -4 | 110-112 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
San Antonio -4 The Spurs welcome in the Rockets on Monday night and the home team laying the number here is the move. San Antonio is doing exactly what they do every season. They're quietly in 2nd place in the West and are within striking distance of the Warriors for the top spot. However, once again nobody really talks about them, as it's Golden State who gets all the headlines. That's just fine for the Spurs, who keep on winning. San Antonio has rattled off 7 straight wins and is a solid 21-6 at home entering Monday. This is a defense that can really slow down the Rockets, which is a hard thing to do. They close out on shooters well and really allow nothing easy at the rim. Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Spurs are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Look for the Spurs to really dictate the tempo here, as they really should frustrate this Rockets offense on Monday. Back San Antonio ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-06-17 | East Tennessee State -4.5 v. NC-Greensboro | 79-74 | Win | 100 | 3 h 39 m | Show | |
East Tennessee State -5 The East Tennessee State Bucs lost both regular season meetings against UNC Greensboro. Still, they are favored by five points in this neutral site game. The public is on UNC Greensboro here because it seems "too obvious." I'll take the favorite in East Tennessee State. East Tennessee State is the better team here according to almost all the metrics. The Bucs shot the ball really poor in their two games against UNC Greensboro, and I expect them to shoot it better here. It is really hard to beat a team that is better than you three times in a row. The oddsmakers are sharp, and when they throw out a -5 on a team that has lost twice to this opponent in the regular season, you should pay attention. The public is taking UNC Greensboro at a 67% clip so far. We'll fade the public and go with East Tennessee State in the Southern Conference title game. East Tennessee State is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on a neutral site as a favorite. Take East Tennessee State -5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-05-17 | Thunder v. Mavs | 89-104 | Win | 100 | 17 h 0 m | Show | |
Dallas Mavericks PK The Mavs have quietly been solid as of late and here at this price, they have some value here. Dallas has covered 4 straight games and getting them at home is a nice spot here. The Thunder have gone a mediocre 12-19 SU on the road, while getting outscored by nearly 7 points per road contest. Dallas has played the better of their ball at home, entering play with a 17-14 record. Here, the Mavericks hot play gives them the edge here. Dallas has won 3 of their last 4 overall and are within striking distance in the Western Conference playoffs. Some trends to note. Mavericks are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Dallas has value here. The Mavericks play well at home and given how the Thunder struggle defensively on the road, the Mavs have a huge edge here. Back Dallas ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-05-17 | Jazz -9 v. Kings | 110-109 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Utah Jazz -9 The Utah Jazz go to Sacramento to take on the Kings on Sunday. The Kings are just awful since they traded away DeMarcus Cousins. Rudy Gay is out of the lineup, and this team has some major chemistry issues. I think the Kings are the worst team in the NBA right now. Sacramento just doesn't have enough firepower to keep up with NBA teams on a regular basis. The Kings aren't exactly a defensive powerhouse either. Utah is playing with revenge after Sacramento beat them as an eight point underdog in the last meeting between these two teams. Utah is one of those teams that seems to fly under the radar a lot, but this is a very good team. The Jazz have improved on offense, and they are still one of the best on the defensive end. Look for Utah's bigs to have their way as Utah rolls to a win. Take Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-04-17 | Wolves v. Spurs OVER 204.5 | 90-97 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
Minnesota vs. San Antonio Over 204.5 Look for a lot of pace here with these two teams as the Spurs and Timberwolves clash on Saturday. With the way Minnesota plays, not only are they going to use a lot of speed with their youth, but it should create a lot of easy buckets for the veteran Spurs here. Minnesota averages 105.1 points per game, but with their youth and pace of play, they give up 107 points per road contest. That doesn't bode well here when you have a Spurs team with many playmakers. San Antonio puts in nearly 107 points per contest and really likes to attack the rim. Expect them to get plenty of open looks and easy transition buckets in this one. Some trends to note. Spurs are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. NBA Northwest. Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games. Look for some back and forth action here, as both teams will find success in the paint. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play |

03-04-17 | Dayton v. George Washington +4.5 | 81-87 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
George Washington +4.5 George Washington catches 4.5 points here at home against Dayton here and given how well they play at home, this isn't a bad move. George Washington enters play a solid 12-3 at home as defense is their biggest key to victory. The Colonials allow just 65 points per home game, which is one of the best marks in the A-10. They'll have to turn this into a slower paced game, as that simply favors them more here. Dayton has plenty of talent, but they have shown some signs of vulnerability when it comes to playing on the road. They concede 70 points per game and their interior defense certainly lacks. Some trends to note. Colonials are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Colonials are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Look for Dayton to really struggle here with the tempo George Washington gives them. With how hot the Colonials have been at home lately, this is a nice spot and number on them. Back George Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

03-04-17 | Western Illinois v. South Dakota -9.5 | 69-78 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
South Dakota -9.5 The South Dakota Coyotes are 20-7 ATS this year. The oddsmakers haven't been able to catch up to them all year, and I still don't think they have caught up. Tyler Flack is one of the most consistent players in the country, and the Coyotes have some tremendous young guards. Western Illinois was dominated by 11 at home by South Dakota just last week. South Dakota gets to play this conference tournament game close to home on Saturday, and that should be a big boost to this team. Western Illinois is in a virtual road game here. Western Illinois is one of the worst defenses in the country, while South Dakota has the best defense in the conference. Look for South Dakota's defense and inside game to carry them to a comfortable win here. The oddsmakers once again have given us too cheap of a price. Take South Dakota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-03-17 | Nets v. Jazz -13.5 | 97-112 | Win | 100 | 20 h 19 m | Show | |
Utah Jazz -13.5 Laying this many points in the NBA is always a tough task, but in this spot, situationally the Jazz hold value here. Utah was embarrassed and blown off their home court against Minnesota last time out. This is the perfect team to bounce back against. Brooklyn is just abysmal every which way you look at them. The Nets enter play with just 10 wins and have gone a horrific 3-25 on the road. Defense has been the biggest issue, which the Jazz should certainly be able to expose here. The Nets have given up 117 points per road game on the season. Despite the blowout home loss last time out, Utah is still a solid 20-12 inside their own building. This is just a clear cut mismatch that should feature plenty of dominant runs by the Jazz. Some trends to note. Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a double-digit loss at home. Jazz are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Utah is going to run and really pick apart the Nets here on Friday night. Back Utah ATS.

03-03-17 | Cavs -3 v. Hawks | 135-130 | Win | 100 | 18 h 27 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -3 The Cavaliers are primed for a bounce back when they take on the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. Without Kevin Love, the Cavaliers took the Boston Celtics to the brink last time out, which proved a lot despite the result being an L. Cleveland has one of the Hawks key weapons on their side this time around as Kyle Korver has found his place with the Cavs. Korver has been one of the most dangerous shooters and has gelled with the Cavs, which makes him and this team, that much more dangerous. Cleveland matches up well with the Hawks here as Atlanta doesn't have enough scorers to keep up with the Cavaliers. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Cavaliers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Friday games. The Cavaliers have dominated the Southeast, going 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 against them. They hold solid value here. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-03-17 | Delaware v. Hofstra UNDER 142 | 81-76 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
Delaware vs. Hofstra Under 142 The Delaware Blue Hens have to slow the game down to have any chance. They have been good at controlling the tempo all year. Delaware was able to slow the game down against Hofstra in both of the regular season meetings. They should again here. This is the first game in the CAA Tournament for both teams. This tournament is being played in North Charleston this year for the first time. These teams aren't accustomed to playing here, and that can hurt shooting numbers. The two regular season meetings between these teams both stayed under the total. I have to take the under here when you get a number higher than they scored in the regular season and you get a neutral site game. Delaware is the worst shooting team in the CAA and Hofstra has been better on defense of late. This number should have been in the mid 130's. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB O/U Play |

03-02-17 | Thunder +1.5 v. Blazers | 109-114 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 54 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City +1.5 The Thunder are a solid move here on Wednesday night. Oklahoma City is playing extremely well and Russell Westbrook just cannot be slowed down. The Thunder have rattled off 4 straight wins, all of which have seen Russell Westbrook contribute triple-doubles. Westbrook had another 40 point night last time out, which marks his 5th in over a 14 game span. The Trail Blazers meanwhile are heading in the opposite direction. Portland has dropped back to back games and comes in off just a 1-3 road trip. Portland has really struggled defensively, which doesn't bode well here against an extremely hot offense. Some trends to note. Thunder are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win. Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Thunder have strung together some solid basketball as of late. Situationally, this is a nice spot for them, given how much of a struggle the Trail Blazers have been. Back Oklahoma City ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-02-17 | Eastern Washington -9.5 v. Southern Utah | 91-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
Eastern Washington -10 The Southern Utah Thunderbirds have had a really rough season. Southern Utah has consistently gotten beaten up by the better teams in the Big sky. Eastern Washington is one of those teams. Eastern Washington has a great power forward in Wiley. The team has multiple guys who can shoot it from long range as well. Very few teams in this conference have the balance that Eastern Washington has on the offensive end. The Eagles are also top three in the conference in total defense. Southern Utah plays virtually no defense, and I think Eastern Washington can put up a huge number here. Southern Utah shoots the ball fairly well, but they turn it over too often, and that will be a big problem here. Southern Utah has very little home court advantage and Eastern Washington has proven they can win on the road. Southern Utah gets beaten down one more time. Take Eastern Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-01-17 | Rockets +2 v. Clippers | 122-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets +2 The Rockets enter play as road underdogs on Wednesday and have some value here against the Clippers. Houston has already put up 140 points on the Clippers this season and with how bad the Los Angeles defense has played as of late, this could be another very similar performance. Los Angeles has given up an average of 116.3 points per game over their last 3, which doesn't bode well fighting against this Rockets team. Houston shot 45 three pointers in their most recent outing against the Pacers, as this team is not afraid to hoist by any means. Look for them to get plenty of open shots against this shaky Clippers defense here. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Rockets are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss. The Rockets ability to bounce back after a loss is huge here. Expect them to really push the tempo here and have a huge advantage. Back Houston ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-01-17 | Cavs v. Celtics | 99-103 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 33 m | Show | |
Cleveland PK -110 The Cavaliers and Celtics clash in a very anticipated affair on Wednesday night. Here, Cleveland is the way to go. The Celtics failed to make a splash at the deadline, which was very confusing given all the rumors they had been linked to toward top players in the league. Cleveland has seen Boston hang around for the entire season and this is their chance to really send a message. Cleveland enters play following a win over Milwaukee and will have the presence of Deron Williams here on Wednesday night. Cleveland also announced the signing of Andrew Bogut, as both veterans will bring a lot to this club. Look for Cleveland to really play with some fire here. They know this is not just a chance to pick up a game on the team chasing them, but to also really show that they are still the best of the East. Some trends to note.Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a double-digit loss at home. Celtics are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss. This is a nice spot for Cleveland. Situationally, Boston has struggled and the Cavaliers should be able to take advantage of that. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Washington Wizards +6.5 The Wizards and Warriors battle Tuesday night and Washington plus the points is the move here. Golden State enters off a back to back where they got an unlikely test against the 76ers on Monday night. The Warriors were forced to battle in what was a physical game into the 4th quarter. Entering play on Tuesday, Washington has been one of the best home teams in the NBA. The Wizards are a solid 24-8 inside their own building, outscoring the opposition 110-104. Washington has the offense to keep up with Golden State here as John Wall and Bradley Beal, both can produce big numbers. Some trends to note. Warriors are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. NBA Southeast. Warriors are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest. Situationally this is a nice spot. Golden State struggles ATS after a game the previous day and they just haven't matched up well with the Southeast. Back Washington ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-28-17 | Ball State +5.5 v. Toledo | 82-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
Ball State +5.5 The Ball State Cardinals have been up and down all year. They have the talent to beat anyone in the conference. They have several really good scorers on their roster. Ball State beat Toledo by a single point at home earlier this year. Toledo has been playing well of late, but Ball State has some really impressive road showings inside the conference. Ball State won at Buffalo, at Northern Illinois, at Central Michigan, and at Eastern Michigan. They also lost by only two to Akron on the road. It is Senior Day for Toledo, and I believe that puts more pressure on a team and is an overall negative. Ball State should be able to play free while Toledo is tight here. In a game that I expect to be decided in the final minute, I'm happy to grab the 5.5 points in this one. Take the underdog. Back Ball State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Minnesota -5 The Timberwolves and Kings battle it out Monday night and Minnesota laying the points has value. The Kings won their first game after trading DeMarcus Cousins and we backed them there. Now, this is the time where fading the Kings is going to be valuable. They came out with fire for that first game, but now reality has really set in for this team. Minnesota is a tough team to face as well. They're young and play with a lot of speed and confidence. Andrew Wiggins in particular, continues to tear it up. This is a Minnesota team that can really win the battle both in the paint and behind the arc as they have a solid compliment of big men to shooters. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. NBA Pacific. Minnesota is the better team here. Look for them to really run on this Kings team and put them away early. Back Minnesota ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-27-17 | Miami (Fla) v. Virginia Tech -1 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech -1 The Hokies and Hurricanes play in what is a huge ACC clash with tournament implications on the line. Given just the -1 here, the Hokies have value at home. Virginia Tech is a ridiculous 14-1 at home this season as their offense is completely dominant. The Hokies are putting up 84 points per home game and winning games on average by nearly 14 points in front of their home fans. While both teams have hit 20 wins and are likely in the NCAA Tournament, nothing is guaranteed and grabbing a win here is a huge resume builder. With Miami just a mediocre 4-4 on the road and in a let down spot after back to back big wins, this is a where the Hokies can really catch Miami off guard. Some trends to note. Hokies are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. Hokies are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. Miami is 1-4 ATS in the last 5 against the Hokies. This is a nice number and spot situationally to back Virginia Tech. Back Virginia Tech ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

Miami Heat -1 The Heat clash with Dallas on Monday and laying the small spread with Miami is the move here. Miami continues to find ways to win and has been one of the most surprising teams in the NBA. Winners of 3 straight games, the Heat continue their push for a playoff spot and match up well here with Dallas. Miami has dominated the head to head series as of late, taking 3 straight in this series. Hassan Whiteside is a player to watch for here, as he looks to rebound from perhaps his worst game of the season. Dallas just doesn't have the presence in the paint to slow Whiteside down, as he should go for a big game here. Some trends to note. Heat are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western Conference. Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Southwest. Expect Miami to really control the paint in this one and play through Whiteside, as the Mavericks simply do not have enough to slow him down. Back Miami ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-26-17 | Celtics -1.5 v. Pistons | 104-98 | Win | 100 | 16 h 42 m | Show | |
Boston -1.5 The Celtics head into Detroit on Sunday and at just -1.5, they have value here. Boston has proven they are one of the best in the East and laying just -1.5 is a generous line. The Celtics have loss two straight, but they could just as easily be 2-0 in that span. A questionable foul call costed them prior to the All Star break and then they built an impressive 17 point lead against Toronto before ultimately blowing it. Boston is still one of the best teams on the road, as they enter play Sunday 17-13. Boston holds an advantage here as they have the ability to stop the Pistons biggest weapon in Andre Drummond. With Al Horford locking things down in the paint, the Pistons biggest weapon just doesn't have any sort of edge like he usually has. Some trends to note. Celtics are 12-5-2 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Celtics are 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 road games. This is a nice spot for Boston. Laying a small number against a team they matchup well with is a solid play on Sunday. Back Boston ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-26-17 | Houston v. Memphis UNDER 138.5 | 72-71 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Houston vs. Memphis Under 138.5 The Houston Cougars and Memphis Tigers played in a game that stayed just below the posted total earlier this year. That game stayed under the posted total even though it went into overtime. This should be a tightly contested game. Houston is coming off a solid win over UConn the other night. Memphis has slumped a bit of late, but the Tigers have an athletic team, and they are excellent on defense. Houston slows the pace of play down quite a bit. The Cougars were able to control the tempo in the first meeting, and I think they'll do the same again here. Memphis relies too much on Dedric Lawson on the offensive end. As great as he is, this team needs more solid scoring options. The Tigers are prone to offensive droughts that hurt them badly. Both teams will be motivated in this one, and I see some good defense being played on both ends. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB O/U Play |

02-25-17 | Bulls v. Cavs -11 | 117-99 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 51 m | Show | |
Cleveland -11 The Cavaliers welcome the Bulls and Cleveland has value laying the points here. We saw what this team did to the Knicks on Thursday night laying double digits, as they simply can outmatch almost every team. As for the Bulls in this spot, they're on a back to back here, as they had a hard fought game against the Suns that took them to overtime. Fatigue is going to play a roll here and will really play in favor of the Cavs on Saturday night. Look for Cleveland to really push the tempo here, especially given the Bulls struggles at home. Chicago is just 11-18 away from the United Center, as they fail to pick up any sort of momentum when it comes to playing on the road. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall.Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. Situationally, this is a nice spot for Cleveland. They should be able to wear this Bulls team down, pulling away in this one. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-25-17 | Pelicans +1 v. Mavs | 83-96 | Loss | -115 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
New Orleans +1 The Pelicans made the biggest splash at the trade deadline and after laying an egg in their first game after the break, they hold value here against Dallas. New Orleans acquired DeMarcus Cousins and have built a team that should be a very competitive one in the West. After a struggle of a first game with Cousins, the Pelicans look to rebound against a Dallas team that really cannot keep up here. Dallas is one of the worst offensive teams in the NBA and are coming in off a back to back. Look for the Pelicans to really expose that here, as they should be able to use their physical play from both Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins to dominate inside. Some trends to note. Mavericks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Look for New Orleans to control this game from the outset, as they have plenty of offensive advantages here. Back New Orleans ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-25-17 | Loyola-Chicago v. Southern Illinois OVER 134.5 | 70-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Southern Illinois vs. Loyola Chicago Over 135 The Southern Illinois Salukis and the Loyola Chicago Ramblers don't have much left to play for in the regular season. This is their final regular season game. The Missouri Valley Conference Tournament tips off this coming week, and these teams have to be gearing up for those games. I expect a little more pace from both teams as they finish the season out. This game doesn't mean much at all in the grand scheme of things, and that should mean a faster paced game. Loyola Chicago is one of the most efficient offenses in the conference. Southern Illinois has the ability to get hot as well. There are a lot of low scoring games in the MVC, but I expect this one to be a high scoring contest. Take advantage of a line that is a few points too low given the situation for these two teams. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-24-17 | Dayton -2 v. Davidson | 89-82 | Win | 100 | 21 h 6 m | Show | |
Dayton -2 The Flyers head into Davidson on Friday night and the visitors laying the points here is the move. Dayton has been on a tear lately and there has been no signs of slowing this team down. Winners of 7 straight games, the Flyers are forcing opponents to play at their pace. Dayton has averaged 75 points per game, but where they dominate is on the defensive side of the ball. The Flyers give up just 65 points per game and they hold the opposition to just 40% shooting from the field. As for Davidson, they haven't been much of anything this season and only laying -2 here is valuable. Davidson just can't find any sort of stability or consistency when it comes to their shooters. Some trends to note. Flyers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 vs. Atlantic 10. Flyers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 Friday games. Situationally, this is a nice spot for Dayton. They get the edge in almost every category here and should be able to really control Davidson from the opening tip. Back Dayton ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

02-24-17 | Suns v. Bulls OVER 215.5 | 121-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 39 m | Show | |
Phoenix vs. Chicago Over 215.5 The Suns and Bulls battle on Friday night and the Over here has solid value to work with. When it comes to the Suns, defense is certainly almost optional every night. Phoenix struggles continuously on the defensive side of the ball, especially when playing on the road. The Suns are giving up 113 points per road game and going up against a Bulls team that has a strong offense is going to be a tough task. Chicago has plenty of offensive weapons that attack the basket. With Jimmy Butler back and at 100%, the Bulls offense will take a couple steps up here on Friday. Look for them to really burn the Suns in transition and come up with some easy buckets. Some trends to note. Over is 35-17 in Suns last 52 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Expect both teams to really push the tempo here and cause a lot of issues for the opposing defenses here. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |
|||||||
02-24-17 | Akron +2 v. Buffalo | 89-83 | Win | 100 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Akron +2 The Akron Zips have the most complete team in the Mid American Conference. Akron has hit a quick two game losing streak of late. The Zips should be focused on the task at hand on Friday night. The Buffalo Bulls are one of the best teams in the league as well. Buffalo nearly knocked off Akron at Akron earlier this year. Akron seems like a team that has the ability to play at another gear, but they haven't been playing in that gear much of late. I think they crank it up for this one. Buffalo has lost three home games in the Mid American Conference slate already this year. The Bulls really don't have anyone to guard Isaiah Johnson down in the post. Johnson is Akron's most important player, and I think he'll have a big day here. Akron has great balance and they are the best offense in the conference. After two really tough losses, expect them to bounce back here. Back Akron. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-23-17 | Nuggets v. Kings +7 | 100-116 | Win | 100 | 14 h 9 m | Show | |
Sacramento +7 The NBA is back and the Kings begin life without DeMarcus Cousins. This is one of those spots where not only are the Kings players fired up, but also fading the public will be nice in this spot. This game opened at 5.5, but has jumped to 7 as the public views this as the Kings giving up by trading Cousins. They're not wrong, but this team still has a lot to offer. Along with that, they are going to get a lot of fire from this team here after seeing what ownership did with their star center. Look for PG Darren Collison to be the spark plug here, as he enters play red hot. He had a field day with the Nuggets earlier this season, as he went for 26 points and 7 assists in a win. It's time for the supporting cast to step up as this Kings lineup will see many guys rotate in and out with minutes being freed up. Some trends to note. Kings are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Sacramento is a solid play here. Bet against the Public and bet a team that is going to give everything they got here on Thursday. Back Sacramento ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play |

02-22-17 | Oregon v. California +3.5 | 68-65 | Win | 100 | 21 h 59 m | Show | |
California +3.5 The Golden Bears welcome in the Ducks on Wednesday night and the home team plus the points is the move here. First off, Oregon has been a mediocre road team this year. They're only outscoring their opponents 73-69 in road contests, which isn't a very good mark considering where they're at. At home, the Golden Bears have played dominant. California is a solid 14-2 and they've had solid success against Oregon inside their own building. Over the last 9 meetings, they've gone 7-2 against them. As far as resumes go, California really could use this one. After falling to Stanford, this would likely be the win to get them over the hump in terms of the committee. Some trends to note. Ducks are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings. This is a nice spot for Cal. A chance at a resume building win and getting to play at home, where they've had success against Oregon. There is value here on the home side. Back California ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

02-22-17 | Furman v. East Tennessee State UNDER 143 | 81-93 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Furman vs. East Tennessee State Under 142.5 The Furman Paladins and East Tennessee State Bucs are two quality teams in the Southern Conference. This is a game that means a lot to the standings in this conference, and the more important the games are late in the season the more I like to look to the under. East Tennessee State plays quickly, but they also rank first in the conference in defensive efficiency. Furman slows the game down, and the Paladins are ranked number two in the conference in that same key category. We have two good defenses here and a relatively high number. Furman doesn't want to get into a shootout with East Tennessee State, and I'm counting on them to slow things down here. I think this total is about 5 points too high. The under is 16-5 in Furman's last 21 games following a straight up loss by 20 points or more. Look for improved defense from them in this game. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-22-17 | Vanderbilt +3.5 v. Tennessee | 67-56 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +3.5 The Vanderbilt Commodores have a high ceiling and a low floor. The Commodores have been hard to figure out this year because it can be tough to gauge their motivation level. Vanderbilt has won some really impressive games on the road, including their win at Florida. The Commodores also have some ugly losses. They were blown out at home by Tennessee recently, and the Commodores should be hungry for revenge here. Tennessee and Vanderbilt are bitter rivals, and Vanderbilt has had to think about getting beaten up on their home court by the Volunteers. Rick Barnes' team isn't a bad team, but I don't think their upside is as high as Vanderbilt's. Vanderbilt wasn't ready to match Tennessee's motivation level in their first meeting between these two teams. I don't think that will be the case on Wednesday night. Grab the points with the Commodores here. A couple trends of note. Vanderbilt is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 as an underdog. Tennessee is 11-27-2 ATS in their last 40 as a favorite. Back Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-21-17 | NC State v. Georgia Tech -5 | 71-69 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 47 m | Show | |
Georgia Tech -5 The Yellow Jackets welcome in NC State on Tuesday night and with how much of a mess NC State has been, Georgia Tech laying the points has value. NC State sits at 14-14 on the season, but has already announced they will part ways with head coach Mark Gottfried at the end of the season. It poses a lot of awkwardness as this team certainly can still make a push at the tourney. However, with how they're playing currently they stand no chance. NC State has lost 7 straight games and has looked absolutely atrocious while doing so. Georgia Tech needs this win to bolster their resume and with the way they play at home, I like their chances. The Yellow Jackets have gone 14-3, while the Wolfpack are just 1-7 on the road. Some trends to note. Wolfpack are 4-16-1 ATS in their last 21 vs. Atlantic Coast. Wolfpack are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games as an underdog. Every angle you look at here, the edge goes to Georgia Tech. Expect them to add to the Wolfpack's misery on Tuesday. Back Georgia Tech ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

02-21-17 | George Mason v. Dayton OVER 144.5 | 70-83 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
George Mason vs. Dayton Over 144.5 The George Mason Patriots have a solid offense. George Mason looks to shoot a lot of shots from long range, and they have a bunch of guys who shoot a good percentage from distance. Dayton is known as a defensive team. While the Flyers are certainly good on defense, they are much better on offense this year than most people realize. Dayton has more scoring options, and they are definitely playing at a faster tempo than they have in previous years. George Mason has scored at least 74 points in their last seven games. They might not get to 70 here, but I think they'll get closer than the oddsmakers are suggesting with this line. Both of these teams excel at getting to the free throw line, and that will help our cause a lot in this contest. A couple great trends for this one. The over is 17-4 in George Mason's last 21 coming off a loss. The over is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two teams. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

Iowa State +1.5 The Cyclones head into Texas Tech on Monday night and the visitors are the move here. Iowa State has been playing extremely well and they're turning it on at the right time. The Cyclones have won 3 straight games and continue to boost their resume. Offensively, they finally look like they've found their form. Iowa State is averaging 81 points per game now and is getting production from a lot of different players every single night. They have also dominated this head to head series. Iowa State has won 6 of the last 8 meetings, which includes an 8 point win already this season. Some trends to note. Cyclones are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Cyclones are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5. Iowa State has been a much more consistent team as of late and with how good they've been against the Red Raiders, this is a nice spot and number on the Cyclones Monday night. Back Iowa State.

02-19-17 | Michigan +1 v. Minnesota | 78-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 40 m | Show | |
Michigan -1 The Wolverines head into Minnesota and laying just a point on the road has value. The Wolverines come in off a huge win over Wisconsin as they continue to build a solid foundation for their resume. Michigan has won 3 straight and this mini road trip in Minnesota and Rutgers could seal their fate in the tournament with a couple wins. Minnesota lacks a lot of offensive spark. The Wolverines should be able to pick the tempo up and really push the issue on them here. Some trends to note. Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Versus the Gophers the Wolverines are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Michigan is far better all around and laying just a single point here is a solid move. Back Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-19-17 | Fairfield +6 v. St. Peter's | 55-74 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
Fairfield +6 The St. Peter's Peacocks play at such a slow pace that it is tough for them to cover the spread once it gets inflated at all. Fairfield was blown out at home by St. Peter's earlier this year. Why would we want to back them here then? Backing teams that were blown out on the road as an underdog has been a long-term strong system. Fairfield has won their last two on the road, and the team is playing with as much confidence as ever right now. This is a good defensive team that can usually stay in the game. With a total in the 120's, a 7 point spread is a pretty large number. It's like taking 10 or 11 points in a normal game. Look for Fairfield to be ready to play as they look to bounce back from the terrible performance in the first meeting between these two. Take Fairfield. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play |

02-18-17 | UTEP +8.5 v. Rice | 79-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 11 m | Show | |
UTEP +8.5 We have successfully backed UTEP a couple times in the past few weeks, and we are going back to the well once again here. UTEP has the top defense in the conference. It's hard to overlook the best defense in the conference catching 8.5 points. Rice is certainly a much improved team. Still, Rice has had trouble against the best teams in the conference, even on their home floor. There's certainly a good chance Rice wins outright here, but I think this game will be close all the way. UTEP underachieved badly early in the year, and we are getting a lot of extra value because of that. The Miners are too good of a team to be losing the way they did early in the year. They have turned it around now, and the books can't keep up. A couple trends here. UTEP is 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games. Rice is 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 at home. Back UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-18-17 | Pacific v. Gonzaga -29 | 61-82 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -29 Laying this many points is not an easy task. However, given how Gonzaga has been playing and what they're playing for, this is a nice spot for them. Gonzaga has won 27 in a row and while they sit at #1 and the only undefeated in the country, people continue to question the status of this team. The Bulldogs are a solid 19-4-1 ATS this year, as they continue to cover big spreads and blow teams out. They'll get a Pacific team who is just 2-10 SU on the road and 8-17 ATS this year. Pacific just doesn't have enough to keep up with Gonzaga here in this one. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Bulldogs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. Expect the Bulldogs to just absolutely wear this Pacific team down on Saturday, in what is a lopsided affair. Back Gonzaga ATS.

Northern Arizona +1.5 The Northern Arizona Lumberjacks have shown progress throughout the season. The Southern Utah Thunderbirds have not. There is no doubt that both of these teams are really bad. Still, Northern Arizona holds value here as they look to get revenge for Southern Utah knocking them off at home earlier this year. In that win at Northern Arizona, Southern Utah made 16/29 from three point range. This is a Southern Utah team that shoots only 34.7 percent from three point range on the season. They should come back down to earth here. Northern Arizona has been very close on the road against good teams. Southern Utah has been getting beaten badly in most of their games of late. This game fits into a nice road revenge angle that has been a strong one over the years. We'll back the Northern Arizona team that is much better on defense. They are the team that should be the hungriest on Saturday, and they are the underdog. Take Northern Arizona. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Northern Kentucky PK Northern Kentucky and the Vikings battle on Thursday night and this line is just too nice to pass up on. Cleveland State has been a wreck this season. The Vikings are just 8-18 and 8-15-1 ATS in that span. The Vikings are 2nd last in the Horizon League as they simply do not have any weapons offensively to take a game over. As for Northern Kentucky, they are a top of the road team in the conference and are looking for a solid seed come tournament time. They've played real well lately, winning 3 straight games and have an 8 point over the Vikings already once this teams. Some trends to note. Norse are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Don't be filled by this line. Cleveland State isn't very good and Northern Kentucky will have the ability to pull away in this one, especially if they get out to an early lead.

Duke +5 Betting against Virginia is a tough task, but when you get 5 points with Coach K and Duke, it's worth a move. The Blue Devils high powered offense is one of the best this Virginia team will be seeing this season. Granted, the Cavaliers defense is one of the tops in the NCAA, but Duke is one of those teams that matches up well with them. Duke will push the tempo consistently and really try to force Virginia out of their game. The road team has also dominated this series. When playing head to head, the road team has gone 18-7-1 ATS in this series. The faster the game, the better this plays into Duke's favor. Expect right from the outset for Duke to start firing and try to get Virginia in a hole where they will be forced to get out of their comfort zone. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Fordham +14.5 The Fordham Rams have been solid away from home this year. They have won outright at Davidson, UMass, and at St. Joe's. The Rams have a defense that is unique and forces a bunch of turnovers. Rhode Island is coming off a really tough loss at home to Dayton. The Rams led nearly the entire way before Dayton launched in two 3 pointers in the final few seconds of the game to beat them. Rhode Island isn't going to make the NCAA Tournament. The Rams were pointing toward that Dayton game because the Flyers have become a rival of sorts for them in recent years. How can they get up for a game like Fordham at home? There is a real question as to whether Rhode Island will be ready here. I think they'll probably win here, but I don't see them being amped up to cover the large spread. I'll grab the points with the road team. Take Fordham. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Dayton -14 The Flyers meet with St. Louis for an A10 battle on Tuesday and the visitors laying the points is a nice move. This is a case where it's two teams going in completely different directions. St. Louis is just terrible. They don't have any sort of major scoring threat and have the capabilities of getting blown out on any given night. They have already taken on Dayton once this year and dropped by 21 points. The Flyers are a high powered team that will really control this game both inside and out. Look for them to get out early and really wear down St. Louis. Some trends to note. Flyers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Flyers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite of 13.0 or greater. Dayton is a good team when it comes to laying the high point amounts. Especially here, they are far better and will take complete control early. Back Dayton ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

Richmond +1 The Richmond Spiders have won at Davidson, George Washington, LaSalle, and several other places already this year. Richmond is a solid road team. George Mason has been much better to back on the road than at home. George Mason beat Richmond on the road, and now the Spiders have a chance to return the favor. I like their chances of doing it here. George Mason benefited from Richmond just being cold as ice from the floor in that first meeting this year. Richmond was 9/30 on three pointers, and only 17/42 from 2 point range in that game. Richmond is number one in the Atlantic 10 in effective field goal percentage offense, so this isn't a team that usually struggles to shoot the basketball. They'll shoot it better in this game. Some trends to consider. Richmond is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games. Patriots are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. George Mason has struggled to string together good wins this year, and I'll go against them in this one. Take Richmond. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Dallas Mavericks +2 The Mavericks and Celtics clash on Monday night and Dallas plus the points is the move here. The Mavs have been one of the most improved teams in the NBA from the beginning of the season. After sitting in dead last for quite some time, this team has completely turned things around and is now fighting for a playoff spot. Dallas has won 8 of their last 11 and comes in with some serious team after a blowout win on Saturday night. They've also had the Celtics number. Dallas has taken 6 straight against them when playing inside American Airlines Arena. Some trends to note. Mavericks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Mavericks are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Dallas is just playing extremely well. Given the injuries to the Celtics as well, this is a nice spot Monday for the Mavs. Back Dallas ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-12-17 | Northwestern v. Wisconsin UNDER 127.5 | 66-59 | Win | 100 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Wisconsin vs. Northwestern Under 127.5 The Northwestern Wildcats are a much better team this year. Northwestern could make the NCAA Tournament for the first time in school history, if the Wildcats finish the year in decent form. Scottie Lindsay is a key contributor to this team, and he'll miss this game due to an illness. The Wildcats scored only 59 against Purdue and 61 at home against Illinois without Lindsay in the lineup. Wisconsin has by far the best defense in the Big Ten. The Badgers would be a really tough team for Northwestern to score on even when they are at full strength, but without one of their best players, it will be even harder. Wisconsin ranks among the ten slowest paced teams in the country. The Badgers have played even slower in their last few games, and they are up against a Northwestern team that prefers to play at a slow tempo as well. A couple trends of note. The under is 5-0 in Northwestern's last 5 games. The under is 23-10 in Wisconsin's last 33 games overall. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-11-17 | Warriors -6.5 v. Thunder | 130-114 | Win | 100 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors -6.5 It's KD's return to Oklahoma City and the environment is going to be wild on Saturday in primetime. However, this is a spot where we're not going to overlook how good the Warriors are. Golden State had no issues with Memphis on Friday night and here, while it will be the public expecting the Thunder to play with a chip on their shoulder, the Warriors are just too good to pass up on. The Warriors are just too quick and too talented of a team. While the Thunder do boast Russell Westbrook, that really is the only big threat. Going up against a Warriors team that has just about every weapon in the book, it's going to be tough for them to keep up. Some trends to note. Warriors are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Warriors are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. This is a spot where the public will pound the Thunder. Given that and the matchup edges, this is a nice number and spot on the Thunder. Back Golden State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-11-17 | Chattanooga -2.5 v. Wofford | 73-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Chattanooga -2.5 The Chattanooga Mocs have been the most consistent team in the Southern Conference in the past couple seasons. They are coming off a tough loss at Furman in their last game, and I think that means we get a strong effort from them in this game. Wofford is playing its third game in six days. Both of the previous games were hard fought wins over good teams in the SoCon. On Thursday night, Wofford won an amazing 4 overtime game over Samford. The negative there is Wofford has to be completely gassed. Four Wofford players logged at least 56 minutes in that game! They get less than 48 hours to recover! That kind of quick turnaround is really tough, especially when you are going up against a team that has more talent than you do. Chattanooga won at Wofford by 9 last year, and I think the Mocs will win and cover against a tired Wofford team here. Back Chattanooga. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-11-17 | Idaho v. North Dakota -3.5 | 65-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
North Dakota -3.5 The North Dakota Fighting Hawks were picked by several people as the best team in the Big Sky before the season. The season hasn't gone as smoothly as many believed it would for the team, but they are now showing the potential many believed they had in them. North Dakota has beaten Eastern Washington and Weber State comfortably at home. Many consider those the other two best teams in the league. The Fighting Hawks have a very good homecourt advantage, and Idaho is playing their second straight road game here. Idaho has been shooting the ball much better in recent games, but you have to wonder how much longer they can shoot the ball so well. The Vandals have been wildly inconsistent on offense in recent years, and it is hard to imagine they just magically fixed all their problems. On the other hand, North Dakota has been extremely consistent on offense in the Big Sky, and I see them scoring with ease throughout this contest. Back North Dakota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-10-17 | Spurs v. Pistons +5 | 103-92 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
Detroit Pistons +4.5 The Pistons have been an interesting team this season. Here at home, they have some value to work with. Detroit enters play 16-10 SU playing inside The Palace and has gone 15-11 ATS in that span. The Pistons have outscored the opposition 104-99 in that span and when you have a player like Andre Drummond in the middle, it's easily to find someone to play through. Drummond hit the 20 point mark for the 11th time this season last time out, as he continues to just be a dominant force in the middle. Detroit will have their hands full defensively, but they have the quickness and are just as physical as the Spurs to stay with them here. Some trends to note. Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games. Pistons are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 The Pistons play extremely well at home. Given that, this is a nice spot on them at this number. Back Detroit ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-10-17 | Oakland -7 v. Detroit | 89-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show | |
Oakland -7 The Oakland Golden Grizzlies were stunned by their rivals from Detroit in their first meeting this year. Remember, both of these schools are in Detroit, and these two teams know each other really well. Oakland was favored by 18.5 in that first game, but they lost straight up. The Golden Grizzlies have been road warriors in recent years. They go on the road to get their revenge here, and the price is very fair. Oakland is certainly the better team here. The Golden Grizzlies are the second best team in the conference in defense this year. They should hold Detroit to a much lower shooting number than they did in the first game. Detroit used a full court press extensively for the first time in that meeting earlier this year, and Oakland wasn't ready for it. The Grizzlies will be ready this time around. We're getting the much better team at a discounted price. Revenge. A couple trends of note. Oakland is 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 road games. Oakland is 27-11-3 ATS in their last 41 as a road favorite. Take Oakland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-09-17 | Louisiana Tech v. UTEP UNDER 136.5 | 62-61 | Win | 100 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
LA Tech vs. UTEP Under 134.5 The LA Tech Bulldogs and the UTEP Miners meet in El Paso on Thursday night. UTEP has the best defense in the conference and LA Tech has the second best defense. UTEP has come alive in a big way of late, and the Miners have another tough test here. The Miners are going to look to make this a sloppy game, because they aren't built to win high scoring games against good defenses like LA Tech. I think UTEP will slow the tempo down throughout in this game. LA Tech has struggled to score on the road so far this year. The Bulldogs aren't nearly as balanced on offense as they have been in recent years, and that has hurt them a lot. They rely too much on Erik McCree. UTEP lost 64-44 at LA Tech earlier this year. This game will be a lot closer than that. It should be low scoring yet again as well. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-09-17 | Jazz -2.5 v. Mavs | 105-112 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 41 m | Show | |
Utah -2.5 The Jazz invade Dallas on Thursday and Utah minus the small spread has value here. Utah has plenty of advantages here in this one. The Jazz are one of the best teams defensively in the NBA. Utah allows just 95.4 points per game and with the way the Mavericks have played offensively, this one is going to be a struggle for them. Dallas averages only 97.7 points per game and as losers in their last 2 games, things really don't bode well for them. Some trends to note. Mavericks are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Mavericks are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 Thursday games. Deron Williams is likely to miss his 8th straight game as injuries have just plagued this Dallas team. Utah is a lot more physical and their edge on the defensive end is just too much to overcome here. Back Utah ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-09-17 | The Citadel v. East Tennessee State OVER 180.5 | 69-90 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 50 m | Show | |
The Citadel vs. East Tennessee State Over 180.5 This is one of those under the radar type of games. Given the offenses here, the Over is extremely nice here. The Citadel is involved in some of the highest totals in college basketball and rightfully so. Looking at this team's numbers, the Bulldogs average 87.2 points per game as they get up and down the floor almost sprinting and jack up shots seconds into the shot clock. Defensively, things are horrific. They give up 101.2 points per game when playing on the road, easily the worst mark in the NCAA. Here against ETSU, they get an offense that is going to pick them apart. The Buccaneers are averaging 86 points per home game and given the matchup here against The Citadel, this could get ugly. Some trends to note. Over is 38-18-1 in Buccaneers last 57 home games. Over is 7-3 in Bulldogs last 10 Thursday games. This is going to be extremely high scoring. Don't expect much defense here, as both teams have a shot at huge numbers. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NCAAB O/U Play |

02-08-17 | VCU v. George Washington +5.5 | 54-53 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
George Washington +5.5 The George Washington Colonials were 28-10 last year. They won the NIT Tournament. There were really high hopes for this team heading into the season. Right before the season, their head coach Mike Lonergan was fired due to some questions about his treatment of players. Maurice Joseph was named the interim coach, and it hasn't worked out very well. George Washington hasn't been consistent. They have still played well in spots though. VCU is riding high coming into this game, and the Rams rolled to an 85-55 win at home against George Washington earlier this year. VCU lost on the road to both Davidson and Fordham in the conference, and I think the Rams are far from unbeatable. George Washington has some major revenge on their minds after that blowout loss from earlier this year. Playing on a team that has revenge after a blowout loss is definitely a long-term winner of an angle. In this one, I think it serves as the George Washington super bowl type game since they have had a disappointing year overall. Take the generous amount of points in this one. Back George Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Denver vs. Atlanta Over 220 The Nuggets and Hawks battle Wednesday night and the Over here has some value to work with. We tried backing Denver and Dallas Over a few nights ago and while the Nuggets did their part, Dallas just couldn't generate anything offensively. Here however, the Hawks are a completely different team. Atlanta has plenty of weapons on the offensive side of the ball and puts in 106 points per home game. The Nuggets defense is going to have their hands full both inside the paint and behind the arc, which should end up being too difficult of a task. Offensively for the Nuggets, they are going to score. They play with extreme pace and aren't gun shy by any means. Some trends to note. Over is 3-0-1 in the last 4 meetings. Over is 40-19-1 in Nuggets last 60 games playing on 1 days rest. This is a nice spot for the Over. Both teams are attack minded offensively and really struggle to slow the opposition down on the defensive end. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play |

Kent State -8 MAC East rivals clash on Tuesday as Kent State and Bowling Green battle Tuesday. Here, the home team laying the points has value. Kent State gets real value here due to the fact that Bowling Green is a mess on the road. The Falcons have just one win in nine chances. Defense has been their biggest issue as they give up 80 points per road game. That doesn't bode well here when they go up against one of the best offensive rebounding teams in the nation. Kent State crashes the boards every possession and will have plenty of 2nd and even 3rd chances here on Tuesday. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Mid-American. The Golden Flashes are bigger, more physical, and quicker than Bowling Green. This is just not a good matchup for the Falcons and Kent should blow the doors off them here at home. Back Kent State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

02-06-17 | Spurs -2.5 v. Grizzlies | 74-89 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
San Antonio -2.5 The Spurs travel to Memphis Monday and the visitors laying the small spread here is the move. San Antonio doesn't need to be flashy about what they do and grab headlines. They simply go about their business and continue to rack W's up. They come in winners in 8 of their last 10 games and 3 straight overall as they are simply picking apart almost every team they encounter. They're top 10 in almost every category offensively and defensively and what has been the most impressive stat for them has been the 3 point shooting. The Spurs have jumped the Rockets and rank 1st in 3-point shooting as they sit at 40.8% this season. They'll get a Memphis team on Monday that likely can't keep up offensively. They rank in the bottom tier of almost every offensive category, which just doesn't bode well for them here. Some trends to note. Spurs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Spurs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 1 days rest. The Spurs don't need rest. They play much better with shorter time off and this is a matchup where they benefit highly. Back the Spurs ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-06-17 | Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 213.5 | 87-110 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 15 m | Show | |
Dallas vs. Denver Over 213.5 Dallas and Denver go at it Monday and the Over here has value to work with. It's been a weird season for Dallas. They've battled many injuries, but this has been a vastly improved team over a month plus. Don't forget, this team ranked last in the NBA, averaging just 93 points a game. While they're at 98 and that necessarily isn't the best, they've jumped up 5 points on the average, which is actually very impressive. Here they get a Denver defense that is just horrible. Why they're horrible comes from how they play offense. Denver likes to get up and down the floor as quick as possible and use the offensive term "run and gun." They waste little time and with this total lower than their normal ones that usually sit in the 220s, this is a nice spot to see a lot of points. Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Denver. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings. Expect a quick paced game as Dallas has really stepped their tempo up, as both teams will find success offensively. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play |

02-05-17 | Indiana v. Wisconsin -12 | 60-65 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Wisconsin -12 The Wisconsin Badgers go up against a short handed Indiana team here. Indiana lost by 7 at home to Wisconsin earlier this year, and that was with Anunoby and Blackmon in the lineup. They won't be in the lineup here. Madison is a really tough place to go win a game. Wisconsin has made a history of blowing out good teams in the Kohl Center. The Badgers are a veteran team that takes care of the ball, shoots it well, and plays tremendous defense. There isn't any real weakness for this team. Indiana is a flawed team that struggles on the defensive end. The Hoosiers have a big disadvantage as far as the coaching here too. Gard has proven himself as a good in-game coach, while Tom Crean's teams have disappointed for many years. The Badgers won't overlook a big name team like Indiana, and Wisconsin is just too good for the Hoosiers. A couple trends of note here. The Hoosiers are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Wisconsin is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 as a favorite. Back Wisconsin. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Milwaukee vs. Phoenix Over 218.5 The Bucks and Suns clash on Saturday night and the Over here has some value. Both these teams play with extreme pace. The Bucks are averaging 105 points per game, while the Suns do them one better, sitting at 106. In turn, both of these defenses are a struggle. Milwaukee is conceding 105 points per game, while the Suns are at one of the worst in the NBA, sitting at 112 points against. Considering how these two teams attack the bucket, especially in transition, this is going to be a case where defense really lacks. Milwaukee's Over record sits at 29-19-1, while the Suns are at 33-17. Some trends to note. Over is 17-5 in Suns last 22 home games. Over is 11-5 in Bucks last 16 games following a ATS loss. Expect a lot of fast paced action here, with both teams attack the rim early in the shot clock. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play |

02-04-17 | Middle Tennessee v. UTEP +10.5 | 54-57 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
UTEP +10.5 The UTEP Miners are much better than their record would indicate. This is a team that badly underachieved through the first half of the year. Tim Floyd's team has finally come together and turned things around in recent weeks. UTEP drilled Marshall on the road and then backed it up with an upset win over UAB in their last game. Will they win this one outright? Probably not. Still, at +10.5 there is a lot of value here. MTSU is a really good team, but they play slowly and that means a lower scoring game usually. Given that fact, laying a bunch of points with them isn't a great idea against a good defense. UTEP's defense has been the best of any team in Conference USA play. The Miners will fight hard here at home, and the oddsmakers still aren't showing them any respect. Way too many points here. Grab the home underdog. Back UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-04-17 | Tulane v. East Carolina OVER 133.5 | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
Tulane vs. East Carolina Over 133.5 The East Carolina Pirates don't have a good offense. Still, it doesn't take a good offense to put up a good point total against a team like Tulane. Tulane has the worst defense in the conference by a mile. Tulane also fouls a lot and East Carolina is good at getting to the line, so we can expect a lot of freebies for the Pirates. The Green Wave play faster than any other team in the league. They'll get their shots up in this one. With a total set this low, and a team wanting to play this fast, you have to see some value with the over. East Carolina has shot the ball horribly in recent games which gives us some extra value. They can't keep shooting it this bad, and now up against the worst defense in the conference, they should improve quickly. It's a chance for them to get right offensively. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-03-17 | Grizzlies v. Thunder -1.5 | 102-114 | Win | 100 | 13 h 22 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City -1.5 The Thunder are in bounce back mode here on Friday night as they welcome in the Memphis Grizzlies. This is a nice spot for the Thunder. After dealing with the Spurs in San Antonio, they were forced right into a back to back with the Bulls. With an off day to regroup and getting to stay at home, they should be at 100% for this one. Oklahoma City has dropped three straight since Kanter went down with injury, but Russell Westbrook continues to be the leader he is and has kept this team's focus straight ahead and not in the past. Westbrook and company have played extremely well at home, which bodes well here. The Thunder boast a 16-7 record in OKC as they put in nearly 110 points per game. Some trends to note. Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Thunder are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. NBA Southwest. This is a nice number and spot for the Thunder here on Friday as they should bounce back in a big way. Back the Thunder. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

02-03-17 | Rhode Island v. Davidson UNDER 141.5 | 70-59 | Win | 100 | 12 h 13 m | Show | |
Rhode Island vs Davidson Under 141.5 The Rhode Island Rams and Davidson Wildcats are both significantly better on the defensive end than they were a year ago. Last year, Rhode Island was 4th in the conference in defensive efficiency. They are third this year. Last year, Davidson was 13th in the conference in that measure. They are 5th this year. Both of them have been playing just slightly slower than average when it comes to tempo. I think this will be a tight game all the way and without either team getting much separation the tempo should stay slower. Rhode Island's weakness is their 3 point shooting. Davidson's defense has been good at everything except guarding beyond the arc. Rhode Island will struggle to take advantage of that. Davidson does a good job defending without fouling. They have committed the second least fouls in the Atlantic 10 Conference. Rhode Island's offense usually relies a lot on getting to the line, and that could be a problem here. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB O/U Play |

02-02-17 | UAB v. UTEP +5 | 59-63 | Win | 100 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
UTEP +5 The UTEP Miners have underperformed all year long. UTEP has way too much talent to have the record they do at this point in the season. I've been keeping a close eye on this UTEP team waiting for a time to buy. I think the time is now. UTEP won a few close games where they had to show a lot of fight. Then they went to Marshall as a double digit underdog and beat Marshall by more than 20 points. That's a really impressive win. UAB has been performing really well of late. The Blazers have been shooting the lights out though, and I don't expect that to continue forever. UAB has to cool off sometime, and I think against a quality defense like UTEP is a good time to expect it. UTEP was expected to be a good team before the season, and now they are playing to their potential. They are a dangerous home underdog here. A couple trends of note. UAB is 1-7 ATS in their last 8 road games. UTEP is 11-3 ATS in their last 14 as a home underdog. Take UTEP. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Cal State Fullerton vs. UCSB Under 139 The UCSB Gauchos have usually been one of the best teams in the Big West. That definitely isn't the case this year. The main problem for them is their offense. They don't have one. UCSB is dead last in the nation in effective field goal percentage. UCSB also slows the game down. The Gauchos consistently have sloppy low scoring games. In the conference, they have only had one game go over 139 points. Cal State Fullerton ranks in the middle of the pack in tempo, but they aren't very good on offense either. It would be a surprise if either team shot the ball well here. Fullerton ranks in the bottom 50 teams in the country in offensive efficiency. There are some trends that back this play also. The under is a perfect 6-0 in UCSB's last 6 home games. The under is 16-5 in UCSB's last 21 games as a home underdog. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

Philadelphia 76ers +6 The 76ers are becoming one of the more exciting teams in the NBA and in this spot on Wednesday, they have value to work with. Philadelphia has won 11 of their last 16 games and is a legit contender in the Eastern Conference. They have won tallied 3 wins in their last 4 games and are playing with as much confidence as anybody right now. They matchup well here with Dallas, who is coming off an emotional win over Cleveland, but this is a completely different style they're going to see in Philadelphia here. The 76ers use their youth to their advantage, as they play with extreme speed and have everybody gelling together. Dallas is still one of the worst team's in the NBA offensively, which bodes well for the 76ers here. Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. 76ers are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. It's weird to see Philadelphia playing this well, but this is a nice spot for them here on Wednesday grabbing this many points against a weaker team. Back Philadelphia ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-31-17 | Dayton v. Fordham UNDER 130 | 75-66 | Loss | -107 | 12 h 11 m | Show | |
Dayton vs. Fordham Under 130 The Dayton Flyers have a great defense. This is a team that can go into prolonged slumps on the offensive end, but yet they still have a great record on the year. It is all about the defense. Dayton has scored 68 points or less in four of their last six games. The Flyers only scored 64 last year when they went to Fordham and won. Dayton is generally happy to slow the game down and win a low scoring contest. Fordham ranks near the bottom of the pack in the country in terms of tempo. The Rams have to slow this game down to have a chance. Fordham is great at forcing turnovers. In fact, they are second in the nation in forced turnover percentage behind only West Virginia. That can certainly make a game lower scoring, and I think it will here. The defenses have the upper hand throughout in this A 10 battle. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Phoenix Suns +3.5 The Suns take on the Grizzlies Monday night and the home team plus the points has value to work with. The Grizzlies have been a tough team to figure out. At moments, they can beat the best. At other moments, they can lose to the worst of the worst. Recently, it's been that 2nd option. Memphis has struggled this month, as they haven't been able to win back to back games with the exception of one rare occasion. Their defensive struggles on the road are a huge reason why this has been a rough month for them. Memphis has conceded 104.4 points per game this season when playing away from home and this Suns team has the ability to score a lot. This isn't the best matchup for Memphis, especially at this time when they're not playing well. Some trends to note. Suns are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games following a double-digit loss at home. Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Given the struggles defensively, this is a nice game for the Suns. Expect a lot of easy transition buckets, as the points are the move here. Back Phoenix ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Notre Dame PK The Fighting Irish and Blue Devils clash on Monday night and the home team in Notre Dame here has value at this price. Winning on the road in conference is play is extremely tough. Duke hasn't played well this season and while they did come from behind last time out to beat Wake Forest, this team is still far from playing well. They are just 2-3 on the road this season and have struggled on the defensive end. Here, Notre Dame gets a huge edge as they have been one of the best teams at home. The Fighting Irish enter play 12-1 while outscoring their opponents 82.4- 62.9 when playing inside their own building. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Blue Devils are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Fighting Irish have taken 3 straight in this series and given the home play from them, this is a nice number on them. Back Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-29-17 | South Florida +24.5 v. Cincinnati | 53-94 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
South Florida +24.5 The Bulls take on the Bearcats here on Sunday and grabbing this many points with USF is the way to go. On paper, things don't look pretty in this situation for South Florida. However, this is also a giant let down spot for the Bearcats. The Bearcats come in off an emotional come from behind win over Xavier on Thursday night and certainly don't have their minds set on USF here, a team that has struggled this season. Given the spread here, this is just way too many points. The Bearcats are a slow paced team and they really don't blow teams out by 20 plus points per game. USF is losing by an average of 14 points per conference game which obviously isn't good, but well more than enough here to cover the spread. Some trends to note. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog of 13.0 or greater. Bulls are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games following a double-digit loss at home. This is just a lot of points. Given this being a let down spot, expect Cincinnati to take this one too lightly and likely win by a smaller margin than expected. Back South Florida ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-29-17 | Thunder +7 v. Cavs | 91-107 | Loss | -104 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder +7 The Thunder and Cavs clash on ABC Sunday afternoon and the visitors plus the points have value here. The Cavaliers are at the center of some drama following Lebron James' comments regarding what the team needs to do at the trade deadline. While they do come in off a win over Brooklyn, their defensive efforts were sub par and they failed to cover. Cleveland has gone just 18-25-2 ATS this season while Oklahoma City is at 26-20-1 ATS. Cleveland hasn't been good lately and this is a spot where laying this many points to a good team is tough. Oklahoma City has won 3 straight games and matches up well here as they are not only going to get solid play from Russell Westbrook, but Steven Adams continues to be one of the biggest forces down low for the Thunder. Some trends to note. Thunder are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Thunder are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. This is a nice spot for Oklahoma City grabbing the points. This one should be close throughout as both teams are very similar and matchup well. Back Oklahoma City ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-28-17 | Nets v. Wolves -11.5 | 109-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Minnesota -11.5 While it's extremely tough to lay this many points with a bad team, this is such a nice spot for Minnesota on Saturday. The Nets come in off a hard fought game in Cleveland, where they used a lot of energy and still didn't get a good result. This is a case here where not only will they let down after getting up for a big game like that, but also fatigue is going to play a huge role. Minnesota has won 6 out of their last 8 games and now begin a home stretch here where they could do some serious damage. Starting off with a bad team like Brooklyn is the perfect situation. The Nets are 2-20 away from home this season, allowing 118 point per game. That certainly doesn't figure to work out well here. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games. Timberwolves are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. This is simply a nice spot situationally for the Timberwolves here. With that in mind, they're worth a move. Back Minnesota ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-28-17 | Nuggets v. Suns OVER 232 | Top | 123-112 | Win | 100 | 13 h 60 m | Show |
Denver vs. Phoenix Over 232 The Nugget and Suns battle Saturday night and it's anticipated this game is going to be fast paced, with a lot of action. These two teams took to the court on Thursday in Denver, in a game where both teams hit the 120 point mark in a 127-120 win for the Nuggets Denver is easily the fastest paced team in the NBA. The Nuggets get up and down the floor within seconds and will hoist a shot up with little time gone on the shot clock. This bodes well here for the Over, especially given the defensive abilities of the Suns. Denver averages 110 points per game, while Phoenix allows 111 against. This is going to be a crazy fast game once again, where both teams get out in transition. Some trends to note. Over is 26-10 in Suns last 36 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Over is 35-16-1 in Nuggets last 52 overall. Expect extreme pace once again here, as both teams will get easy buckets in a game that should fly Over once again. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-28-17 | Belmont v. Tennessee State +1.5 | 93-76 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 58 m | Show | |
Tennessee State +1.5 The Tennessee State Tigers looked like the best team in the Ohio Valley Conference in the non-conference schedule. They picked up a really impressive win over a very good MTSU squad on the road, and Tennessee State even played Duke tight at Cameroon Indoor for most of the game. Once Tennessee State hit OVC play, they hit the skids. The Tigers got away from their stifling defense and it cost them in a big way. Dana Ford has this team playing well again though, and I love what they showed in their last game against SIU Edwardsville. Belmont isn't the dominant team they have been in some years in the past. Belmont is good, but they are less athletic than Tennessee State. The Tigers will have a packed house here, and I think there's a good chance they upset the Bruins. It's a buy low time for a very good Tigers team. Take Tennessee State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-28-17 | UTEP v. Marshall -13.5 | 91-68 | Loss | -100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
Marshall -13.5 The UTEP Miners put a lot of effort into their game on Thursday night against Western Kentucky. UTEP was down big early in that game, but the Miners came storming back and only lost by 3 points. You have to give them credit for fighting hard there, but I think that actually hurts them in this game. Marshall plays faster than any other team in Conference USA. The Thundering Herd have the highest scoring offense in the league. They are going to put up points here, and UTEP's problem all year has been scoring the basketball. UTEP is likely to have less in the tank here, and I don't see them putting up a number big enough to stay close in this contest. Marshall picks up yet another comfortable win on their home floor against an opponent who is overmatched. Take Marshall. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-28-17 | Texas +5.5 v. Georgia | 57-59 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Texas +5.5 The Texas Longhorns go into Georgia to take on the Bulldogs on Saturday. This is one of the Big 12/SEC showdown games, and the Big 12 is clearly the superior league. Texas has been playing some of the best teams in the country on a nightly basis, while Georgia plays a lot of cupcakes in the SEC. Georgia has had some major trouble finishing games this year. Multiple times this team has had big leads and let it slip away in the final minutes. I don't think they'll get a big lead in this one, but if they do there is always a real shot that they'll let it get away enough for Texas to cover. The Longhorns have a really athletic team, and Shaka Smart's group has started to play a lot more consistently over the course of the last couple weeks. They are a dangerous dog as they travel to Georgia to take on a team with very little confidence right now. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-17 | Grizzlies v. Blazers | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 14 h 40 m | Show | |
Portland PK The Trail Blazers take on the Grizzlies Friday night in Portland and the home team at a PK price has value to work with. Portland hasn't been as bad as their record has indicated this season. They sit 7 games under the .500 mark, but they're certainly better than that. They started off the home stand with a victory over the Lakers as CJ McCollum continues to be dominant. He has averaged 29.5 points per game over back to back victories for the Trail Blazers. They match up well in this case as the Grizzlies are a struggle away from home. Memphis has gone just 11-11 while getting outscored 105-102 in road affairs. Slowing down Marc Gasol is the biggest key, but it shouldn't be an issue for Portland as they are vulnerable to faster paced teams, which the Grizzlies are not. Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Trail Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Portland gets the edge here, especially being at home. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-27-17 | Hornets v. Knicks | 107-110 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 48 m | Show | |
Charlotte Hornets PK The Hornets take on the Knicks Thursday and it's to the point the Knicks are a fade at this point. The rumors and distractions continue to be a huge ordeal for New York. Daily we've been hearing new rumor after new rumor regarding Carmelo Anthony. With everything going on, this has to be a giant distraction for this team. Overall, this team has just been a mess. The Knicks have dropped 14 of their last 18 games as its becoming a mind game with this team. As for Charlotte, they're extremely deep. They had 6 different players score in double figures in the hard fought loss to Golden State. This team has a lot of options and will certainly get a rotation going of many players as they have the ability to do so with so much depth. Some trends to note. Knicks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Knicks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. The Knicks are just a struggle. With all these distractions, the visitors have value here. Back Charlotte ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-26-17 | San Francisco v. St. Mary's UNDER 132.5 | 46-66 | Win | 100 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
San Francisco vs. St Mary's Under 132.5 There aren't many teams better than St. Mary's at taking the air out of the ball when they have the lead. In fact, I think they are the best in the country at it. St. Mary's is playing at the second slowest overall tempo in the nation behind only Virginia. The Gaels offense is very efficient, but if you are expecting them to grab a lead, and in this one I am, then they should be slowing the tempo down and keeping the scoring low later in the game. The first game between these two was played to a 63-52 final score. San Francisco only got to the line 10 times on their home floor. The Dons weren't able to push the pace on their home court, and I don't see any reason to believe they will be able to here either. A couple trends for this one. The under is a perfect 5-0 in San Fran's last 5 games. The under is 4-1 in St. Mary's last 5 games. The under is 26-10 in St. Mary's last 36 games against a team with a 60% or better win percentage. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-25-17 | Knicks +2.5 v. Mavs | 95-103 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 56 m | Show | |
New York +2.5 The Knicks head into Dallas and grabbing the points with New York is a solid move here. While it's tough to back this Knicks team, going up against Dallas is one of those cases where they should actually be favorite. Dallas has been a wreck this season offensively, as they average just 96.6 points per game. They've consistently sat at the bottom of the Western Conference standings and things at home don't get any prettier for them. Dallas is just 9-12 SU at home entering play. As for the Knicks, they may have even shocked themselves a bit after what was a giant come from behind win over the Pacers Monday. New York has plenty of talent to go around, but they have struggled to finish games. However, they matchup extremely well here with Dallas as they have more weapons and depth. Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games after allowing less than 75 points in their previous game. Mavericks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games. New York could be just as easily a favorite here. At this opening line, they have value. Back New York ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-25-17 | 76ers v. Bucks -11 | 114-109 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks -11 The Bucks welcome in the 76ers on Wednesday night and the home team laying the points here has value. The 76ers are a vastly improved team, but after an emotional win on Tuesday, this is certainly a let down and tough spot for them. They just do not matchup well with the Bucks. Milwaukee is a younger team like them, who can outmatch and outclass their speed. The 76ers on the road have been a solid fade as well. Philadelphia is just 5-13 SU as they average below 100 points per game. Match that up with the Bucks who are at a solid 13-10 mark at home and this is a solid edge for Milwaukee. Some trends to note. Favorite is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 76ers are 3-7 ATS in the last 10 meetings. This is a nice spot for the Bucks. The 76ers are in a let down spot and will certainly get some fatigue here on Wednesday. Back Milwaukee ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-25-17 | Kings v. Cavs OVER 214 | 116-112 | Win | 100 | 18 h 21 m | Show | |
Sacramento vs. Cleveland Over 214 The Kings and Cavs battle on Wednesday night and the Over here has value to work with. Cleveland is fired up there is no doubt about that. While laying the points with the Cavs isn't a bad option, taking the Over here is certainly a better move given how the Cavs have played defense lately. Offensively, you're going to see Cleveland attack the bucket and get back to the fast paced game they typically play. However, defensively they just aren't there lately. They are giving up easy buckets to the opposition and not closing out on shooters. This is a Kings team you can't afford to do that against either. Sacramento is averaging 102.5 points per game and has a solid inside out game that causes fits for teams. Some trends to note. Over is 10-3 in Cavaliers last 13 games following a ATS loss. Over is 9-3 in Kings last 12 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Expect a fast game with the Cavaliers really being the team to spark this Over on Wednesday night. Back the Over.

01-24-17 | Drake v. Missouri State OVER 147 | 72-71 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
Drake vs. Missouri State Over 147 The Drake Bulldogs are playing faster than anyone else in the Missouri Valley Conference. Drake is shooting the 3 ball better of late, and the Bulldogs can pile up the points in a hurry. On the defensive end, Drake is really weak. Missouri State has generally slowed the game down, but they have been willing to run with a few teams, and I think Drake can get them running. Missouri State should be capable of scoring a lot against this Drake defense that gives up way too many open looks near the hoop. Since high scoring games in the MVC are pretty rare, you can find value betting these high overs when they are justified. The oddsmakers don't want to set the lines very high because of the history of the conference. In this case though, the line should be higher based on Drake's tempo and poor defense. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-24-17 | Kansas +5 v. West Virginia | 69-85 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 31 m | Show | |
Kansas +5 The Jayhawks put their top ranking on the line when they head into West Virginia on Tuesday night. Grabbing points with Kansas has value to work with. Kansas boasts one of the best 3 point attacks in the nation, something the Mountaineers likely cannot keep up with here. The Jayhawks enter play on Tuesday shooting 41.6% from behind the arc, good enough for 5th in the nation. Where the edge comes is from how bad West Virginia is at defending the 3. The Mountaineers rank 113th in the nation when it comes to defending the arc, as they see the opposition shoot at a 42.1% rate. Some trends to note. Jayhawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss. Jayhawks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Situationally and matchup wise, this is a nice spot for Kansas. They're a much deeper and quicker team that will give West Virginia a lot of fits here. Back Kansas ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-23-17 | Cavs -6.5 v. Pelicans | 122-124 | Loss | -103 | 11 h 4 m | Show | |
Cleveland -6.5 The Cavaliers take on the Pelicans Monday and this is a nice bounce back spot for them. Cleveland certainly gave everything they had in primetime on Saturday night against the Spurs and despite a loss, they aren't hanging their heads heading into this one against the Pelicans. They matchup extremely well with this New Orleans team. The Pelicans haven't had any sort of momentum or steam to start this home stand off as they've dropped back to back games which includes a 29 point loss to the Brooklyn Nets, who dropped a 143 spot on them. The Pelicans are just such a struggle defensively, things don't bode well for them here against this Cavaliers attack. Some trends to note. Pelicans are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Pelicans are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. Cleveland will pick apart this defense here, which gives them plenty of value against this small number. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |
