This is a play on the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. After to losing at TCU on Saturday, this game is important for West Virginia if it wants to avoid finishing outside of the top six in the conference standings and playing a Wednesday night game in the Big XII Tournament. Right now, the Mountaineers are in decent shape in fourth place, two games behind Texas Tech. But Oklahoma, Texas and TCU are just a game behind West Virginia so this one needs to be had.

Those games were both on the road however where the Blazers have lost four straight games but they head back home where they have won five in a row. Portland is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games revenging a road loss of 20 points or more. New Orleans comes in as an overpriced favorite as the Zion effect is clearly present.

The Pelicans are 3-7-2 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play on teams revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .400 and .499.

They head home where they are 12-3 with two of those losses coming against conference leaders Dayton and Seton Hall. St. Louis is still alive for a top four finish in the league, which would result in a double-bye in the conference tournament. VCU is part of that three-team group at 7-6 in the conference so this is a big game for the Rams as well. They are riding a three-game losing streak including two games at home and they hit the road where they are just 4-4 including a 3-3 record in the conference but those three wins came against teams that are a combined 7-32. 10* (874) St. Louis Billikens |

This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Toledo snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami Ohio on Tuesday but still failed to cover the number which makes it six straight non-covers. The Rockets are a disappointing 4-8 in the MAC after opening the season with lofty expectations but with six games left and the MAC Tournament, there is still hope. Closing games has been the issue as seven of the Rockets losses in conference play have been by seven points or less. Toledo is 1-10 this season in games decided by seven points or less so the record could be a lot better. The Rockets are outscoring opponents by nearly 10 ppg at home. Buffalo is coming off a home win over Central Michigan and it has been a pretty uneven run as the Bulls are just 2-3 over their last five games. They are 4-3 on the road which is respectable but go into a tough spot as Toledo is playing with revenge from a loss here nearly one year ago to the day. 10* (880) Toledo Rockets |

UNLV snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Fresno St. on Saturday but it was not easy as the Rebels held on for a one-point win. The Rebels four-game skid was not ideal but the losses came against four of the top five teams in the conference and three of those were on the road.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Trading Andrew Wiggins seemed to have invigorated Minnesota as it destroyed the Clippers 142-115 on Saturday at home which snapped a 12-game losing streak. D'Angelo Russell did not play in that game but he had a successful debut on Monday as he scored 22 points with five assists although he did commit six turnovers in the 137-126 loss to Toronto in a game they actually led at halftime. The Timberwolves head back home and take a big stepdown in class. Charlotte is coming off a win at Detroit on Monday as it held the Pistons to just 76 points.

Clemson has been bitten by the injury bug in 2019, having many key players miss time due to injuries, which includes three starting players, but it is as healthy as it has been since early in the season. Notre Dame has won three straight and covered four straight games. The last three have come at home where they were significant favorites and the Irish are just 2-4 on the road with the two wins by a combined five points. 10* (858) Clemson Tigers |

This is a play on the IOWA ST. CYCLONES as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Iowa St. returns home looking to snap a four-game slide. West Virginia jumped on the Cyclones early and went on to win 76-61 Wednesday. The Mountaineers shot 59.3 percent from the floor in the first half and 50 percent for the game. Three of the four losses have come on the road while the lone home defeat came against No. 1 Baylor. Iowa St. is 8-4 at home this season and the Cyclones have won 73 of their last 94 games at home, including 36 of 52 conference games. The only other conference loss at home came against No. 3 Kansas. Kansas St. has lost two straight and three of its last four games but has covered all four of those which is adding considerable value in this number. The Wildcats are just 1-5 on the highway including 0-4 on the road in the Big XII. 10* (784) Iowa St. Cyclones |

02-08-20 | Mavs -4 v. Hornets | Top | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a tough loss last night as it fell to the Wizards by a point on a last second layup. The Mavericks have now dropped two straight games and are 2-3 in the five games Luka Doncic has missed due to a sprained ankle. Despite the loss last night, Dallas is still 17-8 on the road which is the fourth best road record in the NBA and going back, the Mavericks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite. The Hornets have lost 12 of their last 13 games since defeating Dallas 123-120 in overtime on Jan. 4 in Dallas. Charlotte is now 16-35 overall including an 8-16 record at home which is sixth worst in the NBA. The Hornets are 8-21 ATS in their last 29 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a straight up loss as a home favorite of 10 or more going up against an opponent off a road loss by 10 points or more. This situation is 29-8 ATS (78.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (531) Dallas Mavericks |

02-07-20 | Raptors v. Pacers +1 | Top | 115-106 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 13 m | Show |
This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. Indiana fell to 18-7 at home with a 119-118 loss to Toronto on Wednesday as it was outscored 11-0 to end the game and suffered its third straight loss. This came after a historic shooting night for the Pacers, whose 19 three-pointers were the most in franchise history. The Pacers are now tied for fifth place in the Eastern Conference and this is a big stretch with the next four games all against playoff contenders but all are at home. The Pacers have also now lost 12 straight regular season games in Toronto so this is the ultimate revenge game. The Raptors have won 12 straight games which is the most in franchise history and while they have won seven on the road during this stretch, the only one against a winning team was at Oklahoma City. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 allowing 103 or more ppg on the season, after a win by three points or less. This situation is 134-78 ATS (63.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (520) Indiana Pacers |

02-07-20 | Maryland v. Illinois -2 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 12 m | Show |
This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Illinois is coming off a loss at Iowa at Iowa on Sunday which snapped its seven-game conference winning streak, its longest conference winning streak in 15 years. The Illini have just one loss at State Farm Center this season and is 12-1 at home for the first time since 2014-15. Illinois owns the largest turnaround this season among schools from the six major conferences (+10.0), and is tied for fourth in all of Div. I for most improved teams. Defense has been the story as Illinois leads the Big Ten in scoring defense during league play, allowing 60.1 ppg. Maryland is tied with the Illini for first place in the Big Ten as it has reeled off five straight wins. This includes tow wins on the road but those came against 5-6 Indiana and 1-10 Northwestern. The Terrapins are just 2-4 on the road with three of those losses coming in conference play. 10* (872) Illinois Fighting Illini |

02-06-20 | 76ers +9 v. Bucks | Top | 101-112 | Loss | -104 | 27 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Thursday Star Attraction. Philadelphia has lost the first three games on this current four-game roadtrip to fall to 9-18 on the road and that is being factored into this huge line. The Sixers have failed to cover their last four games but we should see an inspired effort here. Ben Simmons called his team out after the Miami loss and while some will think it will cause tension, it should inspire this team to snap out of their funk. They have dropped to sixth place in the Eastern Conference and while they remain one of the most inconsistent teams, they can upset almost any team on their day. While upsetting Milwaukee will be a challenge, we just need a close game. The Bucks have won two straight games after a loss to Denver at home and are clearly the best team in the Eastern Conference. We are not playing the team but the number and in this case, we are catching a value number. 10* (505) Philadelphia 76ers |

This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Wichita St. fell to 5-3 in the AAC following a loss at Tulsa on Saturday which improved to 7-1 on the season. Tulsa won it at the buzzer on a desperation heave. A win would have forced a four-way tie atop the standings. Instead, the Shockers entered the week two games back of the first-place Hurricane in the loss column. The Shockers head home where they are 13-1 on he season with the lone loss coming against Houston. Wichita St. has held 16 of its 21 opponents under 40 percent from the field. The Shockers are 15-1 in those games with the lone loss coming last Saturday at Tulsa. Cincinnati has won four straight games to move into a tie for second place in the conference. While sitting 12-1 at home, the Bearcats are just 2-4 on the road with the wins coming against losing teams. 10* (628) Wichita St. Shockers |

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Clippers conclude a four-game homestand following a pair of wins over Minnesota and San Antonio which came after an inexcusable loss to the Kings to open it. They are 21-5 at home on the season and following an overall 8-2 run, Los Angeles is now three games behind the Lakers for the top spot in the Western Conference. The most recent win over the Spurs was by just three points and the Clippers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following an ATS loss. Miami is also on a two-game winning streak, the most recent one being a 31-point win at home over the Sixers to improve to 22-3 at home. It was a big game for Jimmy Butler who hung 38 points on his former team so there is definitely that letdown possibility. The Heat are just 12-12 on the road and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. 10* (588) Los Angeles Clippers |

02-05-20 | South Carolina v. Ole Miss +1 | Top | 70-84 | Win | 100 | 25 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI REBELS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Mississippi has lost two straight games against two of the top three teams in the conference, LSU and Auburn. The Rebels are just 1-7 in the SEC but five of those games have been on the road and the three home losses came by four points or less including one by a point in overtime against LSU. Under second year head coach Kermit Davis, the Rebels are 18-9 at home including 7-4 this season. This is the first of three straight home games. Balance is the key as all five Rebels starters are averaging double-digits in scoring in their wins but only two are averaging that in their losses. South Carolina enters Wednesday with a 13-8 record, including a 5-3 mark in conference play. The Gamecocks are riding a three-game winning streak with victories over Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Missouri which are a combined 6-18 in the SEC. 10* (808) Mississippi Rebels |

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. Denver is coming off a loss at Detroit in overtime on Sunday which snapped a two-game winning streak. It has been an up and down stretch for the Nuggets which have gone just 5-4 over their last nine games but they are still in third place in the Western Conference. They are 19-6 at home and their 21-8 record within the conference is second best in the West. Denver has won 11 of 15 games this season following a loss and the Nuggets are 8-1-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Portland has won four straight games to move to within a game and a half of the eighth playoff spot in the Western Conference. Three of those wins came at home and while the one road win was at the Lakers, that was a night no one could predict. Portland is just 10-16 on the road overall and prior to the Los Angeles win, it had dropped 12 of its previous 17 road games. The Blazers are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* (568) Denver Nuggets |

This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. The Wildcats are coming off a loss at Auburn on Saturday to fall to 6-2 in the SEC. Kentucky has won eight of its last 10 games and is playing like one of the best teams in the country against a difficult recent schedule. In Saturday's loss to Auburn, the Tigers made 33 of 44 free throws. It was the most free-throw attempts by an opponent since Jan. 30, 2016 and the most makes of the John Calipari era. The Wildcats are 53-13 all-time in games under Calipari following a loss. They are 12-1 with the only defeat coming way back in early November. Mississippi St. heads to Lexington at the wrong time even though it is on a confidence-building run. The Bulldogs have won five of their last six games after starting 0-3 in the SEC and they have now covered seven straight games. They come into Tuesday just 2-3 on the road. 10* (636) Kentucky Wildcats |

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Monday Supreme Annihilator. Indiana is coming off a bad loss against New York on Saturday as it fell 92-85 at home as it remains in fifth place in the Eastern Conference. Victor Oladipo has been back for two games but he has struggled, making just 4 of 22 shots, including 2 of 11 from beyond the arc. He will get his shot going and we expect that to happen tonight. The Pacers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Dallas is coming off a win over Atlanta at home which snapped a two-game skid. The Mavericks have been solid on the road but since December 22nd, they have just one road win against a team with a winning record. The Mavericks are 2-8-2 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 57-25 ATS (69.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (548) Indiana Pacers |

02-03-20 | North Carolina +9.5 v. Florida State | Top | 59-65 | Win | 100 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. North Carolina had a two-game winning streak snapped with a loss to Boston College on Saturday to fall to 10-11 overall and 3-7 in the ACC. This is its fewest wins through 10 conference games since going 3-7 in 2009-10. Freshman point guard Cole Anthony made his return by scoring 26 points in 26 minutes after missing 11 games and we expect the team to show some more chemistry in his second game back. The Tar Heels lead the nation in rebounds per game (43.5) and are fifth in rebound margin (+9.4) and fifth in offensive rebounds per game (14.1). Florida St. improved to 8-2 in the ACC and 18-3 overall with a win at Virginia Tech on Saturday. Five of the last seven games have been on the road but the two home wins came by a combined five points. 10* (861) North Carolina Tar Heels |

02-02-20 | Utah v. UCLA -3.5 | Top | 57-73 | Win | 100 | 3 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with UCLA on Thursday and we will back them again today as the victory over Colorado can be a big momentum builder leading into the second half of the conference season. The Bruins are now 11-10 overall and 4-4 in the Pac 12 which puts them just 1.5 games out of third place. As was the case with Colorado, Utah does not have a good offense away from home as it is averaging just 63.5 ppg and UCLA is now 11-0 on the season when holding the opposition to 73 points or less. Another big factor here is rebounding as UCLA has outrebounded the opposition in 19 of 21 games. The Utes are coming off a loss at USC on Thursday to fall to 3-5 in the conference and they are just 1-5 on the road with the only win coming at Nevada in their first game of the season. 10* (854) UCLA Bruins |

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. The Jazz were one of the hottest teams in the NBA, winning 19 of 21 games from Dec. 11-Jan. 25. Suddenly, they have lost three straight games and have dropped down to fourth place in the Western Conference after occupying the No. 2 spot last week. Utah's slide began with a 126-117 home loss to the Rockets on Monday and continued with defeats in the first two contests of the three-game roadtrip that ends in Portland. The Jazz fell 127-120 to the Spurs on Wednesday and 106-100 to the Nuggets on Thursday. Portland is coming off an emotional win in Los Angeles last night as native Damian Lillard racked up 48 points in a dominating performance. Last night will be hard to come back from despite playing at home but the Blazers are just 12-11 here and are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. 10* (531) Utah Jazz |

This is a play on the DRAKE BULLDOGS as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. Drake lost at Indiana St. on Wednesday to snap a two-game winning streak. The Bulldogs shot 47.6 percent, its third-highest percentage in a loss this season and they head back home where they have been dominant. The Bulldogs own a 15-game home win streak in the Knapp Center and that win streak is the ninth-longest in the nation as Drake is 11-0 at home this season while averaging nearly 80 ppg at the Knapp Center. A win here would put them into at least a tie for third place in the MVC. Southern Illinois hits the road as the hottest team in the league, with four straight wins. That streak began with a 66-49 victory over Drake, Jan. 19 so revenge is in play. The Salukis are 1-7 on the road, the only win coming at 2-7 Illinois St. 10* (740) Drake Bulldogs |

This is a play on the OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Oklahoma City is coming off a loss to Dallas in its last game but has had three days of rest to get ready for this one. The Thunder come into Friday's game having won six consecutive on the road to tie the second-longest streak in Oklahoma City history. The Thunder have won 11 of their last 12 on the road, a dramatic turnaround after losing their first six away from home.

At home, they have been dominant as they are 9-1 with the lone loss being that Richmond game and on the season, they are outscoring opponents by 8.5 ppg on their home floor. While VCU looms a game back in the conference standings, Rhode Island has won seven of the last eight contests in the series, including a 65-56 victory at VCU on Jan. 11. The Rams are playing well also as they have won four straight games following a pair of losses against Rhode Island and Dayton.

01-30-20 | Hornets v. Wizards -4 | Top | 107-121 | Win | 100 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON WIZARDS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Wizards are mired in a bit of a slump with consecutive losses and defeats in three of their past four games. All of those games came on the road however where they are 6-20 which is the third worse road record in the NBA. Washington is a much more respectable 9-11 at home where it has covered four of its last five games. Charlotte snapped an eight-game losing streak with a win on Tuesday against the Knicks but that game came at home following a four-day layoff after a trip to France to play Milwaukee. The Hornets have been equally bad wherever they are as they are 8-15 at home and 8-16 on the road. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses.

The home loss came against UAB by just three points and the Owls come in with a 10-2 record at home. The only other loss at home came against St. Bonaventure by seven points. This team is extremely balanced as the Owls have had six different players lead the team in scoring and 11 different players have had double-digit scoring games so far this season.

This is a play on the TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. The Red Raiders are 9-2 at home this season after falling 76-74 in overtime to No. 13 Kentucky in a Big 12/SEC Challenge battle. Texas Tech, which had its 54-game non-conference winning streak end with the loss to Kentucky, has gone 17-1 at home in the past two seasons with 8-1 records in conference play on its home court.

This is a play on the INDIANA PACERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. The Pacers are coming off a successful 3-2 roadtrip but they did lose the last game of the trek by 10 points at Portland. Indiana heads home where it is 17-5 and it will be getting Victor Oladipo back after he has missed more than a calendar year because of a knee injury. Pacers coach Nate McMillan said Wednesday that Oladipo will be on a minutes restriction which comes as no surprise but his presence will still be significant. Chicago has won two straight games but those came against Cleveland and San Antonio and the Bulls are just 2-19 against teams ranked in the top 16 in the league. The Bulls are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win while the Pacers are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (558) Indiana Pacers |

01-28-20 | Celtics +1 v. Heat | Top | 109-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Miami bounced back from a home loss to the Clippers with a 21-point win over Orlando last night. The Heat are now 21-2 at home which is tied with Milwaukee and Philadelphia for the best home record in the NBA. They are tied for second place in the Eastern Conference with Toronto and are sitting a game and a half ahead of Boston. Despite the home record and the better record, Miami is a very small favorite which is a teller. The Heat are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Boston is coming off a loss at New Orleans on Sunday which snapped a three-game winning streak. Boston is 10-4 ATS as an underdog this season and the Celtics are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (543) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. It has been a special season for Rutgers as it continues to fly under the radar. A victory would move the Rutgers home record to 15-0, tying the Boilermakers' Big Ten-best home record last season. The home floor is a big advantage, especially for a team that normally has not been good and Rutgers has a +17.1 ppg scoring margin, a +10.2 rebounding advantage and has limited visitors to 35.6 percent shooting at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights have an opportunity to go four games over .500 in conference play for the first time since the 1998-99 Big East campaign (9-5). A win would also provide Rutgers its most season victories since 2005-06 (19-14). Purdue rolled over Wisconsin in its last game but hits the road where it is 0-4 in the Big Ten. 10* (628) Rutgers Scarlet Knights |

01-27-20 | Mavs -1 v. Thunder | Top | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Dallas is coming off a loss at Utah on Saturday following a 5-1 run. The Mavericks have plenty of impressive road wins -- at Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver among them. But Dallas has struggled late in close games as of the Mavericks 17 losses, 12 have come by five points or fewer or in overtime. That being said, they have much better on the road, going 15-6 and going back, the Mavericks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite. Oklahoma City has won five straight games as it remains in seventh place in the Western Conference, just one game behind Dallas and Houston for fifth place. Here, we play against home underdogs in the second half of the season that are averaging 102 or more ppg going up against teams allowing 102 or more ppg, after scoring 105 points or more in five straight games. This situation is 37-14 ATS (72.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (531) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our CBB Monday Enforcer. NC State had its three-game win streak snapped with a 64-58 loss to Georgia Tech on Saturday afternoon. It heads home with an 11-game winning streak where it is outscoring opponents by 14.4 ppg. Defensively is where the Wolfpack have been picking it up as they have held five straight opponents to under their season field goal percentage. Before Georgia Tech, NC State went through stretch of holding four consecutive ACC opponents to under 40 percent shooting and that was the first time it had held four consecutive conference opponents to shooting percentages in the 30s in more than 30 years. North Carolina snapped a five-game losing streak with a win over Miami on Saturday but that was at home and now the Tar Heels hit the road where they are 0-4 on the season. 10* (866) NC State Wolfpack |

Los Angeles was coming off a bad loss at Indiana on Wednesday but Kawhi Leonard recorded his first career triple-double Friday in the Clippers 122-117 victory at Miami. It was just the second loss at home all season for the Heat. They are now 13-10 on the road which matches the same record for Orlando at home. The Clippers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. The Magic enter Sunday's game following a 109-98 defeat Friday to the Boston Celtics, their fourth loss in the past five games. They led the Celtics by 16 points in the first half but couldn't finish off the victory at home. The Magic are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 10* (520) Orlando Magic |

This is a play on the NORTHERN IOWA PANTHERS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Northern Iowa dropped its conference opener against Illinois St. and then reeled off five straight wins before its last game where it lost to Southern Illinois. Both of those defeats were on the road and they return home where the Panthers are a perfect 10-0 inside the McLeod Center this season. Northern Iowa averages 75.3 ppg in MVC play, leading the league in scoring through seven games. The Panthers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning straight up record. Loyola-Chicago has won and covered four straight games and is off to a 6-1 start in the conference.

01-25-20 | Thunder v. Wolves +2.5 | Top | 113-104 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Oklahoma City is coming off a win last night at home against Atlanta but remains in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference as all eight teams in playoff positions are coming off a win. The Thunder will be seeking a fifth straight road win in a stretch that includes a previous visit to Minnesota. They have also won four straight overall and are catching the majority of the public money in this one yet the line has not moved. Minnesota has dropped eight straight games while failing to cover the last four. This includes a home loss to Houston last night where Russell Westbrook went off for 45 points and 10 assists. Here, we play on home teams after three or more consecutive losses, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 61-34 ATS (64.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (508) Minnesota Timberwolves |

This is a play on the WILLIAM & MARY TRIBE as part of our CBB Saturday Late Afternoon Trifecta. William & Mary suffered its first conference loss last Saturday as it got blown out at Drexel by 27 points but bounced back with a 13-point win against James Madison on Thursday. The Tribe have a one-game lead over Charleston in the CAA and this is the perfect time to keep that lead or even increase as this is the second game of a four-game homestand. According to KenPom, the Tribe ranks 22nd nationally in effective field goal percentage at 54.4 and they are second in the CAA in this category as well as effective field goal percentage defense. Towson is tied for third place in the conference at 5-3 thanks to five straight wins. The Tigers have covered all five of those games as well but three of those were at home and the two on the road came against the two worst teams in the conference. 9* (686) William & Mary Tribe |

This is a play on the PROVIDENCE FRIARS for our Big East Game of the Year. Providence opened Big East play with a 4-1 record but has dropped its last two games, a pair of single-point setbacks to Creighton and most recently to 7-0 Seton Hall. The Friars are 8-2 at home with the losses coming against Butler and Penn and the three-point shooting has played a big role in the results. The Friars are shooting 36.6 percent (79-210) from three-point territory at home (10 games) and 29.1 percent (58-199) in nine games away from the Dunkin' Donuts Center. Additionally, the Friars are ranked second in the Big East in turnover margin at +2.7. Villanova comes in riding a five-game winning streak but the last four have come at home so this marks the Wildcats first road game in 2.5 weeks. They are just 2-2 on the road and one of those wins came against lowly St. Josephs which is just 4-15 on the season. 10* (616) Providence Friars |

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Friday Star Attraction. Butler was ranked as high as No. 5 in the AP Poll and No. 2 in the NCAA NET Rankings but has since lost three straight games, failing to cover any of those. The Bulldogs return home following a pair of road losses and they look to improve upon their 9-1 record at home. The lone home defeat came against Seton Hall which is now 7-0 in the Big East Conference. The defense has imploded during the losing skid but they are still fifth in the nation, allowing just 58.1 ppg. Marquette meanwhile has won and covered three straight games to improve to 4-3 in the conference. Only one win has come on the road, a four-point win over 2-5 Georgetown. The two losses came at Creighton and Seton Hall by 17 and 14 points respectively. Butler will be playing with revenge as well after suffering a pair of losses last season. 10* (868) Butler Bulldogs |

01-24-20 | Celtics v. Magic | Top | 109-98 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Celtics are coming off a 119-95 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday, a game in which forward Jayson Tatum exited in the third quarter with a strained right groin. He is listed as questionable for tonight and it will not be surprising to see him sit for precautionary reasons. Boston has won two straight games following a 2-6 stretch that included three road losses to push it to an average 11-9 on the season. The Celtics are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS win. Orlando is coming off a loss against Oklahoma City on Wednesday which followed up a respectable 3-3 roadtrip. The Magic remain in the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference as they are two games up on Brooklyn which is coming off its fifth straight loss.

The Buckeyes failed to cover any of those games and they bring in a 9-1 record at home to try and improve upon their 2-5 mark in the Big Ten. Ohio St. is No. 2 nationally for the most home wins with a 171-31 (.847) record since the 2009-10 season. The Buckeyes are outscoring opponents by 20.2 ppg as the defense is allowing just 57.3 ppg on 35.1 percent shooting. Minnesota enters the game with the Buckeyes at 10-8 overall and a 4-4 record in the Big Ten. The Gophers are 5-3 since downing the Buckeyes December 15th in Minneapolis earlier this season by 13 points so revenge is in play on Thursday. The Golden Gophers are 0-6 in true road games including three losses within the conference at Purdue, at Michigan St. and at Rutgers. 10* (604) Ohio St. Buckeyes |

This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. This line came out late for no apparent reason other than some small injury issues. Orlando is now back home after going 3-3 on its most recent roadtrip that included a win over the Western Conference-leading Lakers. The Magic haven't played at home since January 8th where they are 13-8 on the season including wins in five of their last seven. The Magic are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win. Oklahoma City has won two straight as it rallied from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to win at Houston on Monday. The Thunder trailed Monday's game by 17 at one point, making the win against the Rockets the fourth time this season they have won despite trailing by 17 or more points at any point. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are averaging 99 or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 85 points or less. This situation is 33-10 ATS (76.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Orlando Magic |

This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Auburn is coming off a pair of ugly losses as the Tigers lost to Alabama by 19 points and Florida by 22 points. That snapped a streak of 15 straight wins to start the season and they dropped Auburn from No. 4 to No. 12 in the AP Poll. Those losses were both on the road however and Auburn is a perfect 9-0 at home. The Tigers are 26-3 since Feb. 27 last season. That record is the third best record in the country over that stretch. Auburn has played nine opponents picked to finish in the top three of its league. South Carolina picked up an upset win over Kentucky at home and did not letdown from that as it went on the road and defeated Texas A&M last Saturday by 14 points. The Gamecocks have covered three straight games and while the win over Kentucky was nice, they have some ugly losses, notably to Boston U. and Stetson. 10* (814) Auburn Tigers |

Illinois has won four straight games but has not been dominant the last three as the Illini has won those games by a combined eight points.

This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Monday Star Attraction. The Celtics have lost six of their last eight, playing most recently Saturday night without guard Kemba Walker and swingman Jaylen Brown. Both are listed as probable tonight however so the full roster will be intact. Boston is 16-5 at home and coming off a pair of losses here will have it highly motivated. The Celtics are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as a home underdog. The Lakers are coming off a win in Houston on Saturday following a home loss against Orlando. Los Angeles will be getting back Anthony Davis after a five-game absence which is obviously big but they are walking into a tough spot here.

This is a play on the NC STATE WOLFPACK for our ACC Game of the Year. The Tigers are coming off a historic couple games. Clemson downed the Blue Devils 79-72 at Littlejohn Coliseum, leading to a court storming and marking the first time since the 1995-96 campaign that the Tigers defeated Duke and North Carolina in the same season. Additionally, the Tigers defeated the Tar Heels and the Blue Devils in back-to-back games for the first time since the 1989-90 season.

01-18-20 | Seton Hall v. St. John's +5 | Top | 82-79 | Win | 100 | 16 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the ST. JOHNS RED STORM for our CBB Saturday Afternoon Dominator. Seton Hall leads the Big East with a 5-0 record which is no surprise as the Pirates were the preseason favorites to win the conference. They have won seven straight games while covering everyone of those as well so the value is shifting when this success takes place. Seton Hall is just 3-2 on the road with the losses at Iowa St. and Rutgers and the Red Storm are better than those teams. St. John's is coming off a loss at Providence to fall to 1-4 in the Big East. Three of those losses came on the road while the one loss came at home to 15-2 Butler by just two points. This is an uptempo team that can cause havoc on the Pirates as the Red Storm check in at no. 9 in the country with an average possession length of just 15.0 seconds, more than two full seconds below the national average. 10* (604) St. John's Red Storm |

This is a play on the NEW ORLEANS PELICANS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. The Jazz are riding an NBA best 10-game winning streak but only one of those has come against a team in a current playoff position. While New Orleans is not a playoff team, it has been playing much better of late. Utah has won 15 of its past 16 games after a 118-107 victory at Brooklyn on Tuesday night. The Jazz are 2-0 against New Orleans, the latest victory coming during the recent hot streak and that game was in New Orleans and it resulted in just a two-point win.

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Charlotte is off to a 3-0 start in the conference while winning six of its last seven games. Five of those wins came at home however with the lone road victory coming against UNC-Wilmington which is 5-14 on the season. The 49ers are 1-4 on the road and while they have been competitive, losses are losses and they are now facing a team desperately in need of a win.

The Thundering Herd may just be 6-4 at home but the four losses came against teams that are expected to contend for conference championships. The offense is the trademark of this team as they are averaging 77.9 ppg at home and coming off a 50-point effort on the road. 10* (612) Marshall Thundering Herd |

They are now a perfect 11-0 at home but just 1-5 on the road with the lone win coming at Evansville which is the worst team in the conference at 0-4.

01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Miami returns home looking to bounce back and to improve upon its 17-1 home record. For the first time this season, the Heat have lost consecutive games. And the concerning theme again are the losses to teams with inferior records as the last two losses came against Brooklyn and New York. Miami is now 10-1 straight up and 8-2-1 ATS following a loss. The Heat are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. San Antonio is coming off a win at Toronto on Sunday and the Spurs have not been good after a victory. They are 5-11 straight up and 3-13 ATS following a win.

This is a play on the DAVIDSON WILDCATS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Davidson comes in 7-8 overall and 1-2 in league play following an 89-83 overtime victory over Saint Joseph's Saturday. The Wildcats had lost three straight games prior to that and have failed to cover their last four games. The losing record is not appealing but Davidson played 11 of its first 14 games away from Belk Arena. The Wildcats are 4-2 at home with the losses coming against Auburn and Wake Forest and going back, the Wildcats have won 29 of their last 32 games at Belk Arena. Richmond is coming off a loss against St. Louis which snapped a two-game winning streak as the Spiders are now 2-1 in the Atlantic Ten. While they have been solid at home, they are just 3-2 on the road with two of the wins coming as home favorites. Leading scorer Blake Francis is likely out for the Spiders with a shoulder injury. 10* (606) Davidson Wildcats |

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Kings will enter after a 127-106 defeat to the Bucks when they led in the third quarter and held NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo to a season-low 13 points with 10 rebounds. It fell apart quickly for Sacramento but has a great chance tonight to bounce back and build on its 3-2 run over the last five days. Marvin Bagley III is expected back for Monday's game, returning 13.7 ppg and 6.9 rpg to the lineup for the first time since Dec. 26. The Kings are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Orlando had a two-game winning streak snapped in Phoenix on Friday but it has covered three straight games. The Magic are just 5-13 on the road and they are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog. 10* (568) Sacramento Kings |

This is a play on the MONTANA GRIZZLIES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Montana has a huge scheduling advantage in this game. The Vikings and Grizzlies have both played three straight road games but the difference is that Montana is back home so Portland St. will be playing its fourth straight road game. Additionally, the Vikings played on Saturday while Montana was off as its last game was Thursday. The Grizzlies are 6-1 at home including five straight wins. Montana opened Big Sky play with home wins over Northern Arizona and Sacramento St. and then came the three-game roadtrip in which it was an underdog in each game. The road swing came against three teams ranked in the upper-half of the Big Sky preseason polls, and against teams who were all unbeaten on their home courts this season and ended up going 2-1. Portland St. is just 3-7 on the road and the Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. 10* (862) Montana Grizzlies |

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Phoenix is coming off a win over Orlando on Friday and is 4-3 over its last seven contests following a season-worst eight-game losing streak. But the Suns suffered back-to-back home losses to the Grizzlies and Kings prior to the win over Orlando. Now they come into Sunday favored by their biggest amount all season as they continue to be overpriced in some spots. The Suns are 2-6-1 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with a losing road record. Charlotte lost to Utah on Friday 109-92 as the Hornets scored 13 first-quarter points and trailed 61-38 at halftime. They have lost three straight games and nine of their last 11 as they enter the second contest of a four-game road trip. The Hornets are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (555) Charlotte Hornets |

The Panthers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. Miami has won five straight games before facing Duke and Louisville, two of the three best teams in the conference, and getting blown out in both. The other conference loss was also against Louisville to open the season. The Hurricanes were big underdogs in both of those but now they are laying a short price and are 4-1 ATS as favorites this season. The Hurricanes are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. 10* (846) Miami Hurricanes |

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Dallas got rolled last night as the Lakers went off for 45 points in the first quarter and never looked back. The Mavericks have now lost two straight and three of their last four games but have a favorable matchup tonight. The Sixers are coming off a win over the Celtics on Thursday which was their second straight victory following a four-game losing streak. They paid a price against Oklahoma City however as Joel Embiid suffered a finger injury that will keep him out of action for at least a week. Here, we play against teams revenging a home loss of 10 points or more, off a home win by 10 points or more. This situation is 309-215 ATS (59 percent) since 1996. 10* (538) Dallas Mavericks |

We played on Temple earlier this week but failed to make the cover as a home underdog against Houston which was its second straight loss but the Owls are in prime position today. The Owls are 4-2 at home with the two losses coming against Missouri and Miami. Temple has been one of the top teams in the country defensively this season and currently ranks second in the AAC and ranks 22nd nationally in field goal percentage defense at 38.1 percent. Tulane, under the direction of new coach Ron Hunter, has already doubled its win total from the 2018-19 campaign and snapped a 20-game AAC regular season losing streak when it defeated Cincinnati, 76-71 a week ago. The Green Wave followed that up with a loss at Connecticut and we expect a regression here. 10* (616)Temple Owls |

01-10-20 | Magic v. Suns -3 | Top | 94-98 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHOENIX SUNS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Orlando has won two straight games but both of those were at home where it has been pretty solid. The Magic, who fell as much as five games under .500 last month, have gone 7-6 since Nikola Vucevic's return and now reside in second place in the Southeast, just two games under .500. They are just 5-12 on the road and the Magic are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games as a road underdog. Phoenix has lost two straight games, both coming at home, as 6.5-point favorites and now the Suns are catching a reasonable number. This came after a four-game cover streak and Phoenix will be out to snap a 1-7 run at home. The Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home. 10* (524) Phoenix Suns |

01-10-20 | Maryland v. Iowa +2 | Top | 49-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Maryland has won three straight games including a pair of impressive wins over Indiana and Ohio St. by double-digits. Those games were both at home however and the Terrapins are 0-2 this season in true road games, losing at Penn St. and Seton Hall. They are 3-2 in the conference which is good for second place but has a tough spot here. The Terrapins are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a road favorite. Iowa was on a four-game winning streak but hit the road for a two-game trip and dropped both games at Penn St. and Nebraska. It has been a rough travel schedule as the Hawkeyes have played eight of 10 games away from Iowa City since Thanksgiving where they have traveled more than 8,500 miles and played in three different time zones. Iowa is 7-1 at home including impressive wins over Minnesota and Cincinnati. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. 10* (838) Iowa Hawkeyes |

01-09-20 | Louisiana Tech v. Texas-San Antonio +6.5 | Top | 73-89 | Win | 100 | 24 h 39 m | Show |
This is a play on the UTSA ROADRUNNER for our CBB Thursday Enforcer. Louisiana Tech had an odd schedule to open C-USA action as its first two games came against Southern Mississippi and easily won both of those. It was to the Bulldogs advantage considering the Golden Eagles are pegged as one of the worst teams in the conference. They have now won five straight games and they now hit the road where they are just 3-3 compared to a perfect 8-0 at home. Texas-San Antonio is off to a disappointing 0-2 start in the conference as expectations are high for the Roadrunners after finishing in second place last season and retuning four starters. One of those is the preseason C-USA Player of the Year Jhivvan Jackson who is averaging 25.3 ppg, second most in the country. UTSA was on a 5-1 run prior to the two losses so heading back home is just what it needs. 10* (604) Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners |

01-08-20 | UNLV v. Boise State -6.5 | Top | 66-73 | Win | 100 | 26 h 42 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOISE ST. BRONCOS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Boise St. fell to 2-2 in the MWC with a 17-point loss against Nevada on Saturday. The Broncos had won four straight games prior to that defeat which was their fourth away from home. They are 8-2 at home which is no fluke as Boise St. has never had a losing home record since ExtraMile Arena opened in 1982. Boise St. is committing 12.0 tpg, second fewest in the Mountain West Conference. UNLV is 8-8 on the season with a 3-0 mark in Mountain West play, including a win against defending-champion and preseason-favorite Utah St. as a 6.5-point home underdog. The Rebels are coming off a six-game homestand and this will be their first road game in over a month where they are 1-3, the lone win coming Fresno St. which is 5-10 on the season. 10* (836) Boise St. Broncos |

01-08-20 | Spurs v. Celtics -5.5 | Top | 129-114 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 24 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Boston is coming off a bad loss last time out as it fell to the 12-24 Wizards by five points on Monday as a 9-point road favorite. The Celtics have been without Kemba Walker for the last three games but is expected to return tonight. Despite the setback, the Celtics still have won eight of their last 10 games and are 14-2 at home. The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss. San Antonio is coming off a home win over Milwaukee on Tuesday as it won by 22 points as an eight-point underdog. It has been a rough season for the Spurs as that win was just their third over a top ten team and they hit the highway with a 4-11 road record. The Spurs are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win. 10* (570) Boston Celtics |

01-07-20 | Kings +6.5 v. Suns | Top | 114-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 5 m | Show |
This is a play on the SACRAMENTO KINGS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. This is already the fourth meeting between Sacramento and Phoenix this season with the Suns taking two of the first three games. This line is too big as Phoenix was favored by one point in the first meeting here. Sacramento was getting 7.5 points in Denver in its last road game and is getting a bucket less against Phoenix and that does not add up. Additionally, the Kings were getting five in Indiana just over two weeks ago and Indiana is 15-4 at home while the Suns are just 7-13 on their home floor. Phoenix has lost 10 of its last 13 games and the Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Meanwhile, the Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400. 10* (559) Sacramento Kings |

01-07-20 | Toledo +4.5 v. Kent State | Top | 77-84 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 50 m | Show |
This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Tuesday Trifecta. Toledo has lost four straight games including its conference opener at Ball St. on Friday. Additionally, the Rockets have failed to cover six straight games but this is the most points they are catching over this stretch. Toledo was 5-1 last season in games decided by five points or less but is 1-3 this year with a pair of two-point defeats at Valpo and Notre Dame and a four-point setback at Ball St. The Golden Flashes opened their season with an 18-point win at Bowling Green as a bucket underdog. Kent St. is 7-0 at home but two of those wins came against non-Division I teams, were favored by double-digits in four games and the best win came against Purdue Fort Wayne. The Golden Flashes lead the MAC in field goal percentage at 45.6 percent but will be facing a Toledo defense that has held every opponent to 45 percent or less. 10* (609) Toledo Rockets |

01-06-20 | Georgia Southern +2.5 v. Arkansas-Little Rock | Top | 73-79 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the GEORGIA SOUTHERN EAGLES for our CBB Monday Enforcer. Little Rock was picked to finish dead last in the Sun Belt Conference after finishing in a tie for last place last season. Yet the Trojans are off to a 4-0 start, the only undefeated team in the conference but that record is a bit deceiving. All four wins have come down to the final minute and all four coming by four points or less so while they have been clutch, the record could be worse. Georgia Southern is off to a 3-1 start in the conference as the Eagles were picked to contend for first place in the SBC. The Eagles are very efficient on offense and swarm the ball on defense as they are ranked 29th in the country in steals (9.1 spg), 17th in turnovers forced (18.2 tpg) and sixth in turnover margin (+5.9). The Eagles are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss. 10* (855) Georgia Southern Eagles |

01-06-20 | Thunder v. 76ers -7 | Top | 113-120 | Push | 0 | 7 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Sixers will be looking to snap a season-high four-game losing streak when they return home to face the Thunder on Monday. All four losses came on the road however and they bring in a 16-2 home record as they try and ease their way back up the Eastern Conference standings where they are currently sitting in fifth place. Philadelphia is 3-0-1 ATS in its last four home games against teams with a losing road record. Oklahoma City meanwhile has won and covered five straight games but it is still sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference. The Thunder are still a game under .500 on the road despite winning four in a row albeit three against losing teams. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off two or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 53-22 ATS (70.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (540) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-05-20 | USC v. Washington -5 | Top | 40-72 | Win | 100 | 11 h 56 m | Show |
This is a play on the WASHINGTON HUSKIES as part of our CBB Sunday Trifecta. Washington is coming off a loss against UCLA on Thursday which was its second straight loss overall, the other being in the championship of the Diamond Head Classic. It was just the second home loss for the Huskies which played a great game against No. 1 Gonzaga but eventually lost by seven points. The Huskies are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a favorite. USC won its sixth straight game with a nine-point win at Washington St. and this will be the biggest road test of the young season after a 2-1 start on the highway. The Trojans are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games as a road underdog. 10* (848) Washington Huskies |

01-05-20 | Blazers v. Heat -5.5 | Top | 111-122 | Win | 100 | 6 h 16 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Miami heads back home following a 20-point loss in Orlando on Friday which came after a solid win over Toronto the night prior. The Heat are an average 9-9 on the road but are an NBA best 16-1 at home so this is a prime situation as they look to improve to 10-0 this season following a loss. The Heat are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Portland is having a very disappointing season at 15-21 but it did snap a five-game losing streak with a win over the Knicks on Friday although that is not saying much. The Blazers are just 7-12 on the road and they are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. 10* (526) Miami Heat |

01-04-20 | Pistons -3 v. Warriors | Top | 111-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Detroit has lost three straight games to open this six-game roadtrip nut the first three came against the Spurs, Jazz and Clippers. The Pistons have lost five straight games on the road but all five have come against current playoff positioned teams. The Pistons are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games as a road favorite. While Blake Griffin remains out, the Warriors are dealing with their own issue as D'Angelo Russell is also still not going to suit up. Golden St. has lost three straight games as well following a four-game winning streak. The Warriors are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after failing to cover two of their last three games against the spread, in a game involving two teams with winning percentages between .250 and .400. This situation is 104-58 ATS (64.2 percent) since 1996. 10* (519) Detroit Pistons |

01-04-20 | Elon v. Hofstra -14.5 | Top | 75-102 | Win | 100 | 19 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the HOFSTRA PRIDE for our CAA Game of the Year. We played against Hofstra on Thursday as got crushed at home against William & Mary and that was its first home loss of the season since November 6. Now the Pride have a chance to feast on the worst team in the CAA with value on top of it. The Pride are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Elon has lost four straight games but it has been competitive in the last three as it has covered all of those games. The Phoenix are walking into a bad place on Saturday however and they do not have the depth to compete here with their seven-man rotation. The Phoenix are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following an ATS win. 10* (686) Hofstra Pride |

01-03-20 | 76ers +4.5 v. Rockets | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Sixers have lost three straight games after the Pacers ran them off the court on Tuesday, an 18-point loss that saddled Philadelphia with its second three-game skid in just over two weeks. Philadelphia fell to 7-11 on the road and it took that last loss against Indiana pretty hard to a full effort will be in play tonight. The Sixers were without Joel Embiid against the Pacers but he returns to action tonight and it should be noted that their seven wins against top ten teams are tied for second most in the NBA. The Sixers are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Houston defeated Denver last time out and the Rockets improved to 12-+4 at home. The Houston pace is what makes the Rockets flashy but they have been pretty average on both ends as they are ranked No. 17 in offensive shooting and No. 19 in defensive shooting. The Rockets are 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Here, we play on underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in non-conference games, off three or more consecutive road losses. This situation is 36-9 ATS (80 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) Philadelphia 76ers |

01-03-20 | Toledo +1.5 v. Ball State | Top | 57-61 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 18 m | Show |
This is a play on the TOLEDO ROCKETS as part of our CBB Friday Trifecta. We played on Toledo last Saturday and it fell down early and could not recover. That was the third straight loss for the Rockets but this game will have their attention with it being the conference opener. Toledo is predicted to win the MAC West and getting off to a good start is imperative especially against a fellow MAC West opponent. The Rockets have lost three straight games during a season for the first time in 73 games. This is a team that was dominating as they have six double-digit wins this season which gives them 21 victories of 10 points or more since the start of the 2018-19 season. Toledo has held all of its opponents to a 45 percent shooting or less, including six under 40 percent. The Rockets are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. After losing the first two games of the Diamond Head Classic, Ball St. was able to win the consolation game against Portland. The Cardinals head home where they are just 3-3 on the season with those victories coming against Defiance, Howard and Indiana-Purdue. The Cardinals are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. 10* (841) Toledo Rockets |

01-02-20 | San Diego v. Loyola Marymount +1.5 | Top | 58-64 | Win | 100 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS as part of our CBB Thursday Trifecta. Loyola Marymount has lost three of four games while failing to cover any of its last five games and that is keeping this number down on this contrarian play. The Lions are coming off a 22-win season a year ago, their most wins since 1989-90, and they welcomed back three starters from the CBI Semifinal team. Loyola Marymount is paced by Eli Scott who has three double-doubles this season, including the WCC's only triple-double. The Toreros are winners of four of their last five games, with the only loss in that stretch being a neutral site three-point defeat to Stanford. San Diego is still just 7-8 overall and are in rebuilding mode. It lost four senior starters who supplied 73 percent of the scoring from last year and it is showing as San Diego ranks 269th in the country in scoring (67.7 ppg) and that is after hanging 93 on Division III Whittier. San Diego's 220 turnovers this season are the most of WCC schools this season and rank 328 nationally among Division I programs. In the WCC, the Toreros are 10th in shooting percentage (42.9) and a distant 10th in three-point shooting (30.9 percent). The next worst shooting team from deep, Pepperdine, hits 35.7 percent behind the arc. 10* (684) Loyola Marymount Lions |

01-02-20 | Raptors v. Heat -5 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Miami is sitting in third place in the Eastern Conference with a 24-9 record as it had a five-game winning streak snapped in its most recent game. The Heat should be motivated after an embarrassing 123-105 loss at the lowly Wizards on Monday. The Heat allowed a season-high 42 points in the second quarter. Miami head home with a 15-1 record, the best in the NBA, with the only loss coming against the Lakers by just three points. The Heat are 8-0 this season following a loss, covering seven of those games. We won with Toronto on Tuesday as it defeated the Cavaliers by 20 points to improve to 14-5 at home but have struggled on the road with a 2-4 record against winning teams. This season, with expectations lowered, the Raptors have been solid, sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference and just 1.5 games behind the Heat. The Raptors remain banged up as Pascal Siakam, the reigning NBA Most Improved Player, leads Toronto in scoring (25.1 ppg) and is tied for the top spot in rebounds (8.0 rpg). His absence, and that of Marc Gasol (6.6 rpg) and Norman Powell (14.4 ppg) is a big factor in this matchup. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset loss as a favorite of 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 56-25 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Miami Heat |

01-01-20 | Connecticut v. Cincinnati -2.5 | Top | 51-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the CINCINNATI BEARCATS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Cincinnati is coming off a loss against Iowa in Chicago to make it three losses over its last four games but the lone win was an impressive one against Tennessee. The Bearcats are 7-1 at home with the only defeat coming against a pretty solid Colgate team although that was a game they never should have lost. This is a tough place for any opponent to win as the Bearcats are 54-4 at home since the start of the 2016-17 season, including a 25-2 mark against AAC teams. Additionally, the Bearcats are 25-4 in conference openers since 1990 (start of the Bob Huggins coaching era), including a 5-1 mark in AAC lid lifters. Connecticut enters league play having won three in a row and six of its last seven. There are not many high expectations for the Huskies as they have won 16 games or less in each of the last three seasons and are pegged to finish sixth in the AAC. The Huskies are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win of more than 20 points while going 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following two straight up wins of more than 20 points. 10* (830) Cincinnati Bearcats |

12-31-19 | Cavs v. Raptors -9 | Top | 97-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show |
This is a play on the TORONTO RAPTORS for our NBA Tuesday Supreme Annihilator. We are catching some good value with Toronto. The Raptors are coming off a loss at home against Oklahoma City on Sunday which was just their fifth home loss of the season. That can be chalked up to a letdown from the previous night when they dismantled Boston on the road, a revenge game from their previous contest on Christmas Day where they lost at home by 16 points to the Celtics. The Raptors were limited to eight fastbreak points in the loss to the Thunder and they entered the game averaging an NBA-best 18.8 fastbreak ppg. The Raptors are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with a losing straight up record. Cleveland is coming off a win at Minnesota, making it four wins over its last five games. All four of the wins came against losing teams and the Cavaliers have just one victory against a team with a winning record and that in their second game of the season. Since then, they are 0-16 against winning teams, losing by an average of 18.1 ppg. the Cavaliers are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points averaging 83 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after two straight games attempting 10 or less free throws than opponent. This situation is 31-11 ATS (73.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (532) Toronto Raptors |
