15* ALABAMA/VANDERBILT CBB SHARP WINNER on Alabama -8½ -110

My money is on the Crimson Tide to cash in a win and cover as a 8.5-point road favorite at Vanderbilt in Wednesday's college hoops action. Commodores come in having lost 5 straight, including each of their first 4 games in SEC play. Most recently falling by 21 at home to Tennessee. They also lost by 19 at home to Texas A&M in league play. Alabama is one of the hottest teams in the country and absolutely money makers at the ticket window with 11 straight covers. They make it 12 in a row tonight. BET THE CRIMSON TIDE -8.5! 

15* NUGGETS/ROCKETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Rockets -6½ -105

My money is on the Rockets to cash in a win and cover as a 6.5-point home favorite over the Nuggets in Wednesday's NBA action. I know James Harden is in a funk right now, but Houston is just too good to pass up at this price at home. As bad as Harden was in their last game against the Thunder, they still had a 16-point lead going into the 4th quarter. You also have to factor in the injury situation for Denver, who will be without 3 of their top players in Harris, Milsap and Murray. BET THE ROCKETS -6.5! 

15* GRIZZLIES/CELTICS NBA SHARP WINNER on Grizzlies +9 -110

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in a cover as a 9-point road dog at Boston in Wednesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up on Memphis, who has been playing as well as any team over their recent 7-1 stretch. Boston will be without Brown and is in a massive letdown spot here after their huge game against the Lakers on Monday. BET THE GRIZZLIES +9! 

20* 76ERS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on 76ers +6 -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a cover as a 6-point road dog against the Raptors in Wednesday's NBA action. I get Philadelphia is not a great road team and are still without Embiid, but they come in having won 4 straight and this is far from an easy scheduling spot for the Raptors. Since Friday night this team has had to go from Toronto to Minnesota to Atlanta and back to Toronto. Not to mention this is a division game, which has been a money maker for the 76ers, as they are 9-2 ATS in division games this season BET THE 76ERS +6! 

20* DRAKE/EVANSVILLE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Drake -4 -110

My money is on Drake to cash in an easy win and cover as a 4-point road favorite against Evansville in Wednesday's college hoops action. Really no need to overthink this one. Evansville is 0-6 in MVC play and just lost their head coach and are replacing him with Todd Lickliter, who hasn't been with the team this year. Drake is also poised for a big bounce back effort after an ugly showing last time out in a 49-66 loss at Southern Illinois. BET THE BULLDOGS -4! 

20* KNICKS/CAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks +2 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a win and cover as a 2-point road dog against the Cavs. Backing the Knicks on the road is not an easy thing to do, but I really think this is a great spot to fade the Cavs. Cleveland has to be running on fumes after finishing up a 6-game road trip with a gut-wrenching loss at Chicago, where they were in complete control the majority of the game. BET THE KNICKS +2! 

15* KINGS/HEAT NBA SHARP WINNER on Heat -5 -110

My money is on the Heat to cash in an easy win and cover as a 5-point home favorite against the Kings. No concern here for me with Miami playing this game on no rest as they are just too good to pass up at home at this price. Heat are 18-1 at home this season, winning by 11.3 ppg. Kings have lost 4 straight and have allowed 114 or more in all 4 losses. They got no shot in this one with that kind of effort defensively. BET THE HEAT -5! 

15* THUNDER/ROCKETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Rockets -6 -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in a win and cover as a 6-point home favorite against the Thunder. Houston is going to be a pissed off bunch when they take the court tonight. Not only will the Rockets be out for revenge from a 21 point loss at OKC earlier this month, but they will be extremely motivated to end their current 3-game losing streak. BET THE ROCKETS -6! 

20* PACERS/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pacers +2½ -110

My money is on the Pacers to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point road dog in Sunday's NBA action. The fact that Denver is such a small home favorite tells you all you need to know, as the Nuggets are 17-5 at home, while Indiana is just 10-10 on the road. This line look off and that's why I like the Pacers. Indiana has won 4 straight and are catching Denver short-handed. Nuggets will be without 3 of their top players for this one in Paul Millsap, Gary Harris and Jamal Murray. BET THE PACERS +2.5! 

20* S DAKOTA ST/S DAKOTA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on South Dakota PK -108

My money is on the Coyotes to take down in-state rival South Dakota State as a PK in Sunday's college hoops action. South Dakota is off a road loss at North Dakota State by just 2-points. That defeat dropped them to 0-3 on the road in Summit League play. They are 2-0 at home and I like them to make it 3-0 today. BET THE COYOTES PK! 

15* 76ERS/KNICKS NBA SHARP WINNER on Knicks +4½ -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a cover as a 4.5-point dog at home against the 76ers in Saturday's NBA action. Philadelphia is 3-2 since losing Embiid to an injury and it's really been all about where they are playing. All 3 wins have come at home by 10 or more and both losses have come on the road. Philly only scored 91 at Dallas and 95 at Indiana. I just don't think their offense is good enough to win on the road, even against a bad Knicks team. BET NEW YORK +4.5! 

20* BUCKS/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nets +8 -105

My money is on the Nets to cash in a cover as a 8-point dog at home against the Bucks. Brooklyn has lost their last two after winning the first game after Kyrie's return from injury. While they lost to both Utah and Philly by double-digits, they were competitive in both. I think we get a really big effort here from Brooklyn and I could see Milwaukee coming out a bit flat after their big win over the Celtics on Thursday. BET THE NETS +8! 

15* HAWKS/SPURS NBA SHARP WINNER on Spurs -8 -105

My money is on the Spurs to cash in an easy win and cover as a 8-point home favorite against the Hawks. San Antonio is trending in the right direct. While they are just 5-4 in their last 9 games, 3 of those losses have come on the road. What really tells us how well the Spurs are playing is their 9-5 ATS mark in their last 14 games. They should have no problem winning by double-digits against a bad Hawks team that is a mere 4-18 on the road this season, getting outscored by 13.8 ppg. BET THE SPURS -8! 

20* WIZARDS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wizards +10 -105

My money is on the Wizards to cash in a cover as a 10-point dog at Toronto in Friday's NBA action. Raptors put on an offensive clinic in their 130-121 win at OKC last time out. Toronto shot a season best 61.2% from the field and 15 of 27 (55.6%) from behind the 3-point line. Raptors are definitely going to feeling themselves after a showing like that and could have a hard time locking in for this game against a bad Wizards team. Also, they have to play at Minnesota tomorrow and with a bunch of guys just recently back from injury, we could see guys minutes restricted or see them not play at all in this one. BET WASHINGTON +10! 

20* SIENA/CANISIUS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Siena PK -105

My money is on the Saints to cash in an easy win and cover as a pick'em on the road against Canisius in Friday's college hoops action. I just don't think the Golden Griffins have what it takes to take down one of the top teams, especially with how they struggle to score. Canisius is just 1-4 in league play and are dead last in the MAAC in both offensive efficiency and effective field goal percentage. BET SIENA PK! 

15* BLAZERS/ROCKETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Rockets -7 -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in an easy win and cover as 7-point home favorite against the Blazers in Tuesday's NBA action. Houston laid an egg at Memphis last night, losing by 11 to the Grizzlies. They didn't have Westbrook and that loss only benefits us here, as we know they show up with a big effort. Rockets have covered 5 straight off a double-digit loss and Blazers have covered just two games in their last 11. BET THE ROCKETS -7! 

15* NETS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on 76ers -6½ -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in an easy win and cover as a 6.5-point home favorite against the Nets. Not only is this a great spot jump on Philadelphia after a couple of ugly road losses to the Mavs and Pacers, but this is a great spot to fade the Nets who are playing on no rest and for the 3rd time in 4 days. Philadelphia is without Embiid, but I don't think it hurts them that much at home. They beat Boston by 11 without him at home and Brooklyn is outclassed in talent even with Kyrie back. BET THE 76ERS -6.5! 

20* CREIGHTON/GEORGETOWN CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Georgetown -1 -108

My money is on the Hoyas to cash in a win and cover here as a small home favorite against the Bluejays in Wednesday's college hoops action. Georgetown has lost 3 of their last 4, but those 3 losses are nothing to be ashamed of, as they all came on the road against some of the top teams in the Big East in Providence, Seton Hall and Villanova. They routed St. John's by 21 in their only home game so far in Big East play and I could see them laying it on Creighton in this one. BET GEORGETOWN -1! 

20* ROCKETS/GRIZZLIES NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Grizzlies +5½ -105

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in a cover here as a 5.5-point home dog against the Rockets in Tuesday's NBA action. No reason to jump off the Memphis money train. Grizzlies come in having won and covered each of their last 5 games and are 13-4-1 ATS last 18 overall. Tough spot here for Houston, who has been all over the place of late. Rockets played 4 straight on the road, returned home for one game, played one on the road, two more at home, two on the road, one at home, now one more on the road before 4 straight at home. BET MEMPHIS +5.5! 

15* KNICKS/BUCKS NBA SHARP WINNER on Knicks +16½ -100

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a cover here as a massive 16.5-point road dog against the Bucks. This is just too good a price to pass up with New York. No question Milwaukee is the better team, but it's not easy showing up against bad teams when you are as good as the Bucks. Also the Knicks have been playing better basketball since they switched head coaches and I think they do enough to keep it within the number. BET NEW YORK +16.5! 

20* BOWLING GREEN/W MICH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Western Michigan +4 -111

My money is on the Broncos to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small home dog against Bowling Green. Good bounce back spot for Western Michigan after a couple of road losses last two times out. I just don't think Bowling Green should be laying points on the road in this matchup. Falcons are a mere 1-8-1 ATS last 9 games overall and 2-5 ATS last 7 as a road favorite. BET WESTERN MICHIGAN +4! 

20* PORTLAND ST/MONTANA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Portland State +6 -108

My money is on the Vikings to cash in a cover here as a road dog against the Grizzlies in Monday's college hoops action. These are two evenly matched teams, but we are getting value with Portland State because they are just 1-3 SU in their last 4, while Montana has won 4 of 5. Grizzlies are just 2-6 ATS last 8 off a SU win, while the Vikings are 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road and 5-0 ATS last 5 as a dog. BET PORTLAND STATE +6! 

20* BULLS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bulls +10 -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover here as a 10-point dog at Boston in Monday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Chicago, who finally has some momentum after snapping a 6-game losing streak with a 108-99 win at Detroit on Saturday. Celtics are no question the better team, but they are just 1-3 ATS in their last 4 and 3-6 ATS last 9. I just think Boston has a hard time bringing their "A" game in this one. BET THE BULLS +10! 

20* CLIPPERS/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Clippers +3 -110

My money is on the Clippers to cash in a win and cover as a 3-point road dog against the Nuggets in Sunday's NBA action. I just think we are getting a great price on LA due to the fact that they have failed to cover 3 straight. Denver also gets a lot of love at home, where they are 15-5 this season, but they are also playing on no rest and have gone a mere 3-6-1 ATS in their last 10. BET THE CLIPPERS +3! 

15* HAWKS/NETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Hawks +7 -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a cover here as a 7-point dog at Brooklyn in Sunday's NBA action. The Nets will be getting back Kyrie Irving, but I think it has resulted in an inflated line here. Irving hasn't played in a game since Nov. 14 and there's a good chance it's going to take a week or so for him to round back into form. Nets have also not been playing great of late, as they are just 1-7 in their last 8. Hawks haven't been winning much either of late, but are 4-2 ATS last 6. BET ATLANTA +7! 

20* UTAH/COLORADO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah +9½ -105

My money is on the Utes to cash in a cover as a 9.5-point road dog against the Buffaloes in Sunday's college hoops action. No question Colorado should be favored in this matchup, but this is too many points for them to be laying against a good Utah team that is 6-2 in their last 8 games with their two losses coming against the likes of San Diego State and Oregon. Colorado also just lost at home to Oregon State as a 7.5-point favorite and also lost outright at home to UNI earlier this season as a 9.5-point favorite. BET THE UTES +9.5! 

15* TULANE/TEMPLE CBB SHARP WINNER on Tulane +9½ -110

My money is on the Green Wave to cash in a cover as a near double-digit road dog against Temple in Saturday's college hoops action. Tulane just keeps getting undervalued by the books. Green Wave have covered 3 straight and are 10-5 ATS on the season with a 6-3 ATS mark on the road. Temple on the other hand has gone just 3-4 ATS last 7 and are off back-to-back losses. BET TULANE +9.5! 

15* HORNETS/JAZZ NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -12½ -102

My money is on the Jazz to cash in an easy win and cover as a big 12-point home favorite against the Hornets in Friday's NBA action. Utah is in the midst of their best stretch of basketball this season. Jazz have won 7 straight and 12 of 13 overall. In their current 7 game run, 4 of those wins have come by 13 or more points. Hornets are 2-8 in their last 10 and are giving up 112.4 ppg in their last 5. BET THE JAZZ -12! 

20* MAGIC/SUNS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Magic +2 -105

My money is on the Magic to cash in an easy win and cover as a small road dog against the Suns. Orlando comes in having won 4 of 5 and while things could turn south on their upcoming 6-game road trip, they should be in prime form for the first game of the trip. Other big thing here is the Suns are an awful home team. Phoenix are 2-10 SU and 4-8 ATS last 12 at home. IN their last two home games they have lost by 7 to Memphis as a 7-point favorite and by 11 to the Kings as a 6.5-point favorite. BET THE MAGIC +2! 

20* N KENTUCKY/ILL-CHICAGO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Northern Kentucky -1 -108

My money is on the Norse to cash in an easy win and cover as a slim 1-pont road favorite against the Flames in Friday's college hoops action. Illinois-Chicago come in having lost 3 straight and have just 1 win all season against a team ranked better than 200 in KenPom's rankings. Note they are 245th in those rankings and Northern Kentucky is 143rd, so there's a clear gap in talent here. BET THE NORSE -1! 

15* ARIZONA ST/OREGON ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Oregon State -4 -110

My money is on the Sun Devils to cash in an easy win and cover as a 4-point home favorite against Arizona State in Thursday's college hoops action. Beavers are sitting at 11-3 and are a perfect 7-0 at home where they are scoring 81.3 ppg and giving up 65 ppg. Sun Devils are only scoring 61 ppg away from home and any time they have faced a halfway decent offense on the road they have struggled to do anything. In their last game they scored a mere 47 at Arizona. BET THE BEAVERS -4! 

20* IUPU-FT WAYNE/W ILLINOIS CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Western Illinois +2 -110

My money is on the Leathernecks to cash in a win and cover here as a small 2-point home dog against the Mastodons in Wednesday's college hoops action. Western Illinois has just 4 wins to PFW's 8, but they both have lost 9 games and the Leathernecks have played the tougher schedule. Mastodons are also 1-8 on the road this season and simply should not be favored here. BET WESTERN ILLINOIS +2! 

15* NUGGETS/MAVS NBA SHARP WINNER on Nuggets +2 +105

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in a win and cover here as a slim 2-point road dog against the Mavs in Wednesday's big NBA showdown on ESPN. Dallas has quickly become a big public team because of Doncic and the ridiculous numbers he's putting up. Nuggets are no pushover. Denver has the 2nd best record in the West and 5th best mark overall. Mavs are also still down a big piece in Porzingis. BET THE NUGGETS +2! 

20* RAPTORS/HORNETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Raptors -3½ -105

My money is on the Raptors to cash in an easy win and cover here as a slim 3.5-point road favorite against the Hornets. Toronto just lost at home last night in their first game without VanVleet and the thought here for a lot of people will be to fade the Raptors on no rest. I just think that's a mistake. This team has played really well despite all their injuries and the Hornets are definitely a team they can take down at less than full strength. BET TORONTO -3.5! 

15* DUQUESNE/ST JOHN'S CBB SHARP WINNER on St. Joe's +8 -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a cover as a 8-point home dog against the Dukes in Wednesday's college basketball action. St Joseph's comes in at a mere 3-11, but showed they are a little better than that in their last game keeping it respectable in a mere 13-point loss at home to Dayton. Note it felt a lot closer, as they were only done 7 with less than 3 minutes to play. Duquesne is off back-to-back wins and covers at home, making them a prime target to fade on the road here. BET ST. JOE'S +8! 

20* KINGS/SUNS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Suns -6 -115

My money is on the Suns to cash in an easy win and cover as a 6-point home favorite against the Kings in Tuesday's NBA action. Phoenix is primed for a big effort here after letting one get away at home against Memphis last time out. Prior to that the Suns had covered 4 straight. Kings are off a win and cover against the Warriors, but that was last night and this team can't be trusted to show up on no rest. BET THE SUNS -6! 

15* THUNDER/NETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Thunder -1 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in a win and cover here as a small road favorite against the Nets in Tuesday's NBA action. No need to overthink this one. While OKC is on no rest and off a loss at Philly, Brooklyn is also playing on no rest and the Thunder are in much better form right now. OKC is 9-2 SU and have covered 8 of their last 9. Nets have lost and failed to cover each of their last 6 games. BET THE THUNDER -1! 

20* BUCKS/SPURS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Spurs +7½ -110

My money is on the Spurs to cash in a cover as a 7.5-point home dog against the Bucks in Monday's NBA action. San Antonio has been playing much better of late and that's evident by the fact that they come in having covered 6 of their last 10 games. Bucks are one of the best teams in the league and a huge public play, so we know the line is inflated. This is Milwaukee's first road game of the month and I think they struggle to get up here having just beat the Spurs at home in their last game. BET SAN ANTONIO +7.5! 

20* TROY/TEXAS STATE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Troy State +12 -110

My money is on the Trojans to cash in a cover here as a 12-point road dog against Texas State in Monday's college hoops action. While Troy has the much worse record ata 5-10 compared to the Bobcats 8-7 mark, both teams are 1-3 in Sun Belt play with near identical scoring margins. Troy is averaging 66.7 ppg and giving up 71.7 ppg in league play, while Texas State is scoring 67.7 ppg and allowing the same 71.7 ppg. No way should the Trojans be getting double-digits here. BET TROY +12! 

15* THUNDER/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Thunder +7 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in a cover here as a 7-point dog at Philadelphia in Monday's NBA action. I get this is a huge game for the 76ers, who have lots 4 straight, but I think the books have inflated the number on them in this spot. OKC has won 5 straight and 9 of 10 overall. Simply too good a price to pass up on a team playing their basketball against an opponent playing arguably their worst. BET THE THUNDER +7! 

15* NETS/MAGIC NBA SHARP WINNER on Magic -4½ -110

My money is on the Magic to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Nets in Monday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Orlando at home against a struggling Nets team. Magic might be 16-20 overall, but are 11-8 at home. Brooklyn has lost 5 straight with 4 of those setbacks by 10 or more. Nets also playing their 4th road game in the last 5 days and could have a hard time getting up for this one with a game at home against OKC tomorrow. BET THE MAGIC -4.5! 

20* USC/WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Washington -4½ -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in an easy win and cover as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Trojans. Any time USC is getting points on the road it's best to look the other way, as they are a miserable 2-11 ATS last 13 as a road dog. This is also a big bounce back spot for Washington off 2 straight losses. BET THE HUSKIES -4.5! 

15* GRIZZLIES/SUNS NBA SHARP WINNER on Grizzlies +7½ -110

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in a cover as a 7.5-point road dog against the Suns in Sunday's NBA action. Memphis is fresh off a 140-114 win at LAC and have now scored 110 or more points in 7 straight games. That offense will be up against a Phoenix defense that has allowed 110 or more in 11 of 12 games. I get it's a bad spot for Memphis on no rest, but this is too many points. BET THE GRIZZLIES +7.5! 

20* SEAHAWKS/EAGLES NFL WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Eagles +2½ -110

My money is on the Eagles to cash in a win and cover as a 2.5-point home dog against the Seahawks in Sunday's NFC Wild Card action. Seattle has the much better record, but the Seahawks are no where close to as good as their record would indicate. Seattle only had two wins all season by more than a touchdown and closed out the season losing 3 of their last 4 when they had a chance to win the NFC West and get a first round bye. We saw New England struggle down the stretch and lose at home to the Titans yesterday. Eagles have all the momentum and just seem to find a way to win these games in the postseason when they are a dog. BET PHILADELPHIA +2.5! 

15* THUNDER/CAVS NBA SHARP WINNER on Thunder -5 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in an easy win and cover at Cleveland in Saturday's NBA action. OKC has quietly been playing their best basketball. Thunder have won 4 straight and 8 of 9. They are 6-1 ATS last 7. This is just too good a price to pass up on OKC against a bad Cavs team. BET THE THUNDER -5! 

15* KNICKS/SUNS NBA SHARP WINNER on Suns -5½ -105

My money is on the Suns to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Knicks. This is a great spot to fade New York. Knicks are off a big win against the Blazers and have won 3 straight overall, but are poised for a letdown after traveling clear across the country on just 1 day of rest. Suns are playing well and will be motivated here. BET PHOENIX -5.5! 

20* 76ERS/ROCKETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on 76ers +4½ -105

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a cover as a 4.5-point dog at Houston in Friday's NBA action. Philadelphia comes in having lost 3 straight and it's no secret they are worse on the road than at home. While that might suggest going against them, this team almost always shows up in big games, especially ones televised like this one (ESPN). Houston is off a big win, but have been up and down of late. BET PHILADELPHIA +4.5! 

15* GRIZZLIES/KINGS NBA SHARP WINNER on Grizzlies +5 -110

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in a cover as a road dog in Thursday's NBA action. Easy fade here of Sacramento. The Kings have no business laying this kind of number, as they enter this game having lost 8 straight, 4 of which came as a favorite. BET THE GRIZZLIES +5! 

20* HORNETS/CAVS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cavs -2½ -110

My money is on the Cavs to cash in an easy win and cover as a small home favorite against the Hornets. I know Cleveland is a tough team to trust laying points, but Charlotte is a team they can have their way with. Hornets come in having lost 6 straight and have not scored more than 110 points in 9 straight, 5 times failing to even reach 100. BET THE CAVS -2.5! 

20* UTAH ST/UNLV CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UNLV +8 -109

My money is on the Rebels to cash in a cover as a big home dog against the Aggies. Utah State has the much better record with a 13-2 mark to start the season, but they have repeatedly been overvalued during their hot start. In fact, the Aggies are a mere 1-6 ATS in their last 7 lined games. They are also 0-2 ATS in true road games this season. BET UNLV +8! 

20* SUNS/LAKERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Lakers -11 -105

My money is on the Lakers to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Suns. LA has now won 2 straight after their shocking 4-game skid and I look for them to keep it rolling at home against a Phoenix team that has to be running on empty. Suns will be playing their 4th straight on the road which will all come in a 6 day stretch. Lakers on the other hand are on a full 2 days of rest. BET LOS ANGELES -11! 

20* MINNESOTA/AUBURN CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Minnesota +7½ -110

My money is on the Gophers to cash in a cover here as a 7.5-point dog against the Tigers. I just think Auburn is getting way too much respect in this spot. Bowl games are all about motivation and I just have to wonder how motivated the Tigers are for this game, as they won their biggest game of the season in their finale against Alabama. Minnesota will be 100% locked in for this one and I really wouldn't be shocked at all if they won this game outright. BET THE GOPHERS +7.5! 

20* WARRIORS/SPURS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors +10 -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a cover as a double-digit road dog against the Spurs in Tuesday's NBA action. No way should San Antonio being laying this many points. Spurs are just 13-18 overall and a mere 9-8 at home. Warriors are way down this year, but have won and covered 4 of their last 5. San Antonio is also just 2-7 ATS last 9 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games and 5-18 ATS last 23 off a win. BET THE WARRIORS +10! 

15* CLIPPERS/KINGS NBA SHARP WINNER on Clippers -6½ -108

My money is on the Clippers to cash in an easy win and cover at Sacramento in Tuesday's NBA action. LA comes into this one off a 120-107 loss at home to the Jazz and that right there is reason enough to lay the points with the road team. Clippers have only dropped back-to-back games once all season. Going back to last year LA is 21-7 ATS last 28 off a SU loss and are 4-1 ATS last 5 as a road favorite. BET THE CLIPPERS -6.5! 

20* UNI/ILLINOIS ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Illinois State +5 -110

My money is on the Redbirds to cash in a win and cover as a home dog against Northern Iowa in Tuesday's college hoops action. I know the Panthers are off to a great start, as they come in at 11-1, but I just think this is too many points for them to be laying. UNI has lost each of their last 4 trips to Illinois State and several metrics give the Redbirds as one of the best home court advantages in the country (No. 4 according to KenPom). I not only like them to cover but win outright. BET ILLINOIS STATE +5! 

20* SUNS/BLAZERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Suns +4 -103

My money is on the Suns to cash in a cover here as a small road dog against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. Portland is a team people keep wanting to buy into, but they just don't deliver. Blazers have lost 3 in a row and the books are begging you take them in this spot. Suns snapped their 8-game skid with a big win at the Kings and I think they win this game outright. BET PHOENIX +4! 

15* PISTONS/JAZZ NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -9 -110

My money is on the Jazz to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Pistons. Utah is playing some of their best ball of the season, as they are 7-1 in their last 8 and are riding a 3-game cover streak. No need to overthink this one. Detroit is 1-6 in their last 7 and will be down 4 of their best players in Morris, Griffin, Kennard and Jackson. BET THE JAZZ -9! 

15* UMASS/AKRON CBB SHARP WINNER on Massachusetts +10 -108

My money is on UMass to cash in an easy cover here as a double-digit dog against the Zips. Minutemen are just 1-6 in their last 7, but all 6 losses during this poor stretch have been against teams ranked in the Top 100. Akron is 9-3, but have no business here laying this big a number. UMass has thrived in this spot going 48-29 ATS last 77 as a road dog of 6.5 to 12 points. BET THE MINUTEMEN +10! 

15* HORNETS/GRIZZLIES NBA SHARP WINNER on Grizzlies -3 -106

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Hornets. This is just too good a price to pass up with Memphis against a bad Charlotte team, which comes in having lost 4 straight. Grizzlies offense is rolling and Hornets come in having shot 43% or worse from the field in 8 of their last 11 games. BET MEMPHIS -3!

20* THUNDER/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder +4 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in a cover as a small road dog against the Raptors. Great spot here to fade Toronto, who is playing on no rest after yesterday's big upset win at Boston and are still without Pascal Siakam. OKC is also playing well coming in, as they are 5-1 in their last 6 and 10-4 over their last 14. BET THE THUNDER +4! 

15* JAZZ/CLIPPERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Clippers -8 -110

My money is on the Clippers to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Jazz. Utah has won 6 of 7, but all of those wins have come against bad teams. The Jazz simply got no business being on the same floor as the Clippers, especially in LA, where the Clippers are 14-2 and winning by 12.3 ppg. BET LOS ANGELES -8! 

15* MAVS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Mavs -8 -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Warriors. Dallas is coming off an unfortunate non-cover against the Spurs, as they scored just 2 points over the final 6 minutes in a 4 point win. Doncic did make his return in that game and he was right back to his MVP form. Warriors have won 4 straight, but are due to lay an egg here and are likely going to be out of gas playing on no rest and their 3rd game in 4 nights. BET THE MAVS -8! 

20* RAPTORS/CELTICS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -5½ -110

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win and cover at home against the Raptors. These two teams just played in Toronto on Christmas Day and Boston won that matchup by 16. Celtics did as they pleased offensively, shooting 50% from the field and I expect more of the same in the rematch. Toronto just doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace with Siakam sidelined. BET THE CELTICS -5.5! 

15* SUNS/WARRIORS NBA SHARP WINNER on Suns -3 +102

My money is on the Suns to cash in a win and cover at Golden State in Friday's NBA action. Golden State pulled off a massive upset at home against the Rockets on Christmas Day and I think they put every ounce of energy they had into that game. I just don't think we see anything close to that kind of effort here against Phoenix and that's why a Suns team that has lost 7 straight is laying points on the road. BET PHOENIX -3! 

20* BUCKS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +12 -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a cover as a double-digit home dog against the Bucks in Friday's NBA action. The books know the public will be itching to back Milwaukee off their ugly loss to the 76ers on Christmas Day and have definitely inflated the number here to where the value is with the Hawks. Atlanta has been very profitable in this spot going 30-16 ATS last 46 as a dog of 10 or more. BET THE HAWKS +12! 

15* SPURS/MAVS NBA SHARP WINNER on Spurs +6 -100

My money is on the Spurs to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against the Mavs in Thursday's NBA action. Dallas is expected to get back Doncic, but I believe it has them laying a few more than they should be against a San Antonio team that has been playing much better of late. Mavs only won by 7 in the first meeting this season at Dallas and they did so shooting 50% from the field. Good chance they don't shoot that good the second time around. BET THE SPURS +6!

20* PITT/E MICHIGAN CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pittsburgh -11 -110

My money is on the Panthers to cash in a win and cover against Eastern Michigan in Thursday's Quick Lane Bowl. A lot of people are leaning to the Eagles because of the fact that Pitt hasn't won a game all season by more than 10 points. I just think that's a mistake. The Panthers are hands down the better team and Eastern Michigan is lucky to even be in a bowl. The Eagles went just 3-5 in a awful MAC conference this year, which was tied for the 3rd worst record in the league. I just don't think they have any hope of keeping this close. BET THE PANTHERS -11! 

15* BUCKS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Bucks -2½ -115

My money is on the Bucks to cash in an easy win and cover at Philadelphia on Christmas Day. As good as the 76ers are at home, this is just too good a price to pass up with Milwaukee. The Bucks simply are on a different level than the other teams in the east and will be out to send a message to the 76ers that they got no shot of knocking them off the top spot. BET THE BUCKS -2.5! 

20* CELTICS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Celtics -2½ -109

My money is on the Celtics to cash in a win at Toronto on Christmas Day. The Raptors have been better than expected without Siakam, but I just think it will be too much to overcome against Boston today. Celtics are red-hot coming into this one having won and covered 3 straight and are 7-2 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games. Celtics are 10-4-1 ATS last 15 on the road vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games and 7-3-1 ATS last 11 as a road favorite. BET BOSTON -2.5! 

20* BYU/HAWAII CFB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii +2 -108

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover at home against BYU. This has been quite a season for Hawaii, who just got done playing the MWC Championship Game. I think the Warriors are going to be really excited here to cap off this season with a win at home, which would give them double-digit wins on the season. They also want their revenge on BYU from last year's blowout loss in Provo. I don't know that the same motivation will be there for the Cougars in this one. BET HAWAII +2! 

15* ROCKETS/KINGS NBA SHARP WINNER on Kings +6 -110

My money is on the Kings to cash in a cover at home against the Rockets. I just think Houston is going to have a hard time giving Sacramento their full attention and the Kings are going to come out with everything they got to get a win after losing their last 3. Sacramento is 22-8 ATS last 30 when they have lost 3 of their last 4. BET THE KINGS +6! 

15* BULLS/MAGIC NBA SHARP WINNER on Bulls +5 -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover here at Orlando. This is too good a price here with Chicago. Bulls have covered 4 straight and are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games. Magic are headed the other direction. Orlando has lost 3 straight and 6 of 7 overall. BET THE BULLS +5! 

15* NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Lakers -6½ -110

My money is on the Lakers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Nuggets. I get the line here has dropped some with the news that LeBron James will be sitting out, but I still like LA to win here going away. We are going to get a max effort from the Lakers after losing 2 straight and those that are playing are going to want to show that it's not just all James that makes them great. Nuggets are also not a great road team. Denver is 13-3 at home compared to just 6-5 on the road. Big reason for the Nuggets road struggles is their offense goes missing on the road. Denver is averaging just 104.8 ppg away from home. BET THE LAKERS -6.5! 

20* CS-FULLERTON/LOYOLA MARYMOUNT CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Loyola Marymount -6½ -115

My money is on Loyola Marymount to cash in a win and cover at home against Cal St Fullerton. The Lions simply should have no problem winning this matchup. The Titans come in having lost 6 straight and are just 3-8 ATS on the season. Fullerton is a mere 6-20 ATS last 26 as a dog, while Marymount has covered 9 of their last 14 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE LIONS -6.5! 

20* MAVS/RAPTORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Mavs +3½ -110

My money is on the Mavericks to cash in a win and cover here as a small road dog against the Raptors. Dallas has shown they can still be a force without Doncic, as they have racked up wins over both the Bucks and 76ers on the road. Toronto was able to win at home over Washington in their first game without Siakam, but I'm not the least bit confident in their ability to keep playing well without him. BET THE MAVS +3.5! 

15* JAZZ/HORNETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -5 -110

My money is on the Jazz to cash in a win and cover at Charlotte in Saturday's NBA action. Utah has finally got thing rolling. Jazz have won 4 straight and easily the better team in this matchup. Charlotte is simply getting too much love having won 4 of 6, but those wins are all against sub-par teams. BET UTAH -5! 

20* KNICKS/HEAT NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Heat -10 -105

My money is on the Heat to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Knicks. New York comes in having won 3 of 4 and covered 4 straight, but a lot of those were against similarly bad teams. I'm confident they will struggle to keep it close against a really good Miami team that is 11-1 at home. Heat are outscoring opponents at home by 14.2 ppg and Knicks are getting outscored on the road by 12.0 ppg. BET THE HEAT -10! 

15* MAVS/76ERS NBA SHARP WINNER on 76ers -7½ -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a win and cover at home against the Mavs. Dallas has played well without Doncic in the first two games without him, but did kinda fall apart in their last game at home against the Celtics. I just think it's going to get harder and harder without him and the 76ers are going to be 100% locked in for this game after losing 2 straight. BET PHILADELPHIA -7.5! 

15* PISTONS/HEAT NBA SHARP WINNER on Pistons +8 -106

My money is on the Pistons to cash in a cover here as a big road dog against the Celtics. Detroit is a difficult team to back with their consistent play and no one is going to want anything to do with them right now given the injuries they are dealing with. However, I think the line has been over adjusted in favor of Boston and the value is with the Pistons. Celtics have also not fared well in this spot, going just 3-9-2 ATS last 14 at home vs a team with a losing road record. BET THE PISTONS +8! 

20* AKRON/TULANE CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Akron -5 -105

My money is on the Zips to cash in a win and cover against the Green Wave in Friday's college hoops action. These two will be meeting up in DC at the Entertainment and Sports Arena. Both teams are 8-2 but the matchup here favors Akron. Tulane isn't the best offensive team and the Zips are holding opponents to just 61.9 ppg and 36% shooting. Green Wave give up a ton of open 3s and Akron has a number of guys who can knock it down from deep. Zips average 9 made 3-pointers and should easily hit that. BET AKRON -5! 

20* ROCKETS/CLIPPERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Rockets +5½ -110

My money is on the Rockets to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point dog at Los Angeles in Thursday's NBA action. Houston hasn't been playing all that great of late, but are coming off a huge momentum building win over the Spurs, where they overcame the largest deficit (25 points) in franchise history. These two have played twice. Rockets won and covered as a mere 2-point home favorite on 11/13. They did lose the rematch in LA, but covered in that one as well as a 5-point dog. BET THE ROCKETS +5.5! 

20* MAGIC/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -8½ -115

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Magic. This might seem like a big number for Orlando be catching, but I don't think it's near enough. Magic are in about as tough a scheduling spot as you will find, as they have to go from playing at Utah last night to at Denver tonight. This also their 3rd road game in 4 days and the defense, which has carried them, is not producing, having allowed 47% or worse in each of their last 3. BET THE NUGGETS -8.5! 

20* UTAH ST/S FLORIDA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Utah State -8 -110

My money is on the Aggies to cash in an easy win and cover against South Florida in Wednesday's college hoops action. Utah State is 10-2 and are going to be highly motivated after losing a heartbreaker last time out to BYU 64-68. South Florida has won and covered 3 in a row, but this is not a great team and I just don't think they will score enough. Bulls are averaging a mere 59.3 ppg away from home and Utah State is giving up just 60.9 ppg and holding teams to 38.6% shooting. BET THE AGGIES -8! 

15* ILL-CHICAGO/ILLINOIS ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Illinois-Chicago +6 -110

My money is on the Flames to cash in a cover on the road against Illinois State in Wednesday's college hoops action. These are two bad teams and with that said, the Redbirds should not be laying this kind of number. Illinois State is just 2-6 over their last 8. Illinois Chicago has covered 3 of their last 4 and are 4-1 ATS last 5 vs a team with a losing record. BET THE FLAMES +6! 

20* HAWKS/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks -1 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a win and cover at home against the Hawks in Tuesday's NBA action. Neither of these teams are any good, but New York has been playing better of late, as they come in having covered 3 in a row. Hawks are just 3-11 on the road this season, where they are getting outscored by 14.7 ppg. BET THE KNICKS -1! 

15* NORTHEASTERN/E MICHIGAN CBB SHARP WINNER on Northeastern PK -110

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a win and cover as a pick'em against the Eagles. The line here really says it all. Eastern Michigan is 8-1 overall 4-0 at home and not favored against a 5-5 Northeastern team that has failed to cover 4 of their last 5. This just goes to show you how easy the schedule has been for the Eagles. BET THE HUSKIES PK! 

20* UC-SANTA BARBARA/IDAHO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on UC-Santa Barbara -7 -103

My money is on UC-Santa Barbara to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Bengals. The Gauchos lost last time out at Southern Utah, but covered as a dog in a 61-62 loss. Santa Barbara had won 5 straight prior to that setback, including road wins over CS-Bakersfield and TX-Arlington. Gauchos are also a dominant 9-1 ATS last 10 on the road after a road loss by 3 or less. BET UC-SANTA BARBARA -7! 

20* BULLS/THUNDER NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder -5½ -105

My money is on the Thunder to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Bulls. This is just too good a price to pass up on OKC. I believe the value here is due to the fact the Bulls are off a big win against the Clippers and have covered 7 of their last 9. Thing with that win over LAC is the Clippers didn't have Leonard, Beverly or Williams. Bulls are just 4-8 on the road and are one of the worst offensive teams in the league. I just don't think they can keep pace offensively. Chicago is giving up 109.7 ppg on the road and OKC is scoring 113.0 ppg at home. BET THE THUNDER -5.5! 

20* SE MISSOURI ST/YOUNGSTOWN ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Youngstown State -6 -108

My money is on the Youngstown State to cash in a win and cover at home against SE Missouri State in Sunday's college hoops action. The Penguins are a perfect 4-0 at home, outscoring opponents by almost 23 ppg. SE Missouri State is 1-5 on the road this season and will be playing their 6th straight game away from home. BET YOUNGSTOWN STATE -6! 

20* LAKERS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks +10½ -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in as a 10.5-point home dog against the Lakers in Sunday's NBA action. This is just too many points for LA to be laying in a game they are likely to have a hard time getting up for. Lakers are playing their 3rd straight on the road and 6th game away from home in their last 7. LA knows they don't need their best to beat the Hawks and I think they go through the motions and let Atlanta hang around. BET THE HAWKS +10.5! 

15* FRESNO ST/CAL POLY CBB SHARP WINNER on Cal Poly +8½ -110

My money is on the Cal Poly to cash in a cover here as a 8.5-point dog at home against Fresno State. The Bulldogs might be the better team, but at 2-7 there's no reason for them to be laying this kind of number. Especially with Cal Poly having just won at home 70-66 as a 5.5-point dog against Siena in their last game. BET CAL POLY +8.5! 

20* THUNDER/NUGGETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets -7 -105

My money is on the Nuggets to cash in a win and cover at home against the Thunder. Denver has a great home court edge and OKC is really bad on the road. Nuggets are 9-3 at home, outscoring teams by nearly 6 ppg. Thunder are 4-8 on the road and getting outscored by 3.3 ppg. Also a tough spot for OKC playing their 4th straight on the road. BET THE NUGGETS -7! 

20* KNICKS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Knicks +9 -110

My money is on the Knicks to cash in a cover here as a 9-point dog at the Kings in Friday's NBA action. New York put that awful showing at Portland on Tuesday behind them with a 124-122 OT win at Golden State on Wednesday and have now covered 2 of their last 3. I like the Knicks to keep this close and it wouldn't shock me at all if they won outright. Take New York! 

20* COLORADO/COLORADO ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Colorado -5 -110

My money is on the Buffaloes to cash in a win and cover against in-state rival Colorado State. I think we are getting a great price here with Colorado. Buffaloes are off back-to-back losses. The first one was almost to be expected as it was at Kansas. The most recent at home to UNI was a bit of a shocker, as they were a 9.5-point favorite. That however is a really good UNI team that should have never been that big of a dog. That loss should have the Buffs 100% locked in for this one. BET COLORADO -5! 

20* IOWA/IOWA ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Iowa State -3½ -110

20* KNICKS/WARRIORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors -4 -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in a win at home against the Knicks in Wednesday's NBA action. This might seem like a decent line as the Warriors are sitting at 5-20 and the Knicks are 4-20. The thing is, New York is playing on no rest and are just 1-10 SU on the road this season. Warriors might not have a ton of talent, but they got a lot of heart and should win here easy. BET GOLDEN STATE -4! 

20* RAPTORS/BULLS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Bulls +7½ -110

My money is on the Bulls to cash in a cover as a home dog against the Raptors in Monday's NBA action. Chicago is coming off a hard fought OT loss at Miami yesterday and while they came up short they covered for the 4th time in 5 games. Bulls will be out for revenge in this one, as they got embarrassed 108-84 at home by Toronto earlier this season. Now is also the time to go against Toronto. Raptors have lost 3 straight and good chance they may be without one of their best players in Fred VanVleet. BET THE BULLS +7.5! 

15* SEAHAWKS/RAMS NFL SHARP WINNER on Rams +1 -105

My money is on the Rams to cash in a win and cover at home against the Seahawks. I just feel like the price here is too good to pass up with LA at home. Rams are not as bad as what people think and I was really impressed with how this team bounced back last week in their blowout win at Arizona off that ugly showing against the Ravens on MNF the week before. SEahawks are also not as good as their 10-2 record. Seattle has been very fortunate in close games and winning on the road inside the division is a real challenge for these NFC West teams. BET THE RAMS +1! 

20* RAPTORS/76ERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Raptors +3 -105

My money is on the Raptors cash in a win and cover as a small road dog against the 76ers Sunday. Toronto is going to be 100% locked in off back-to-back home losses to Miami and Houston. Raptors will also have fresh legs playing on a full 2 days of rest. That extra rest should pay off here, as the 76ers will be playing in the 2nd leg of a back-to-back and 3rd in the last 4 days. BET THE RAPTORS +3! 

20* WILLIAM & MARY/FAIRFIELD CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on William & Mary -1½ -108

My money is on the Tribe to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small road favorite against Fairfield. William & Mary is 6-3 to start the season and Fairfield is 2-6. Sure the Stags are off an upset win at Texas A&M, but that's a bad Texas A&M team and if anything it makes them primed for a letdown here. Fairfield is just 4-14 ATS last 18 as a home dog of 3-points or less. BET WILLIAM & MARY -1.5!
