04-07-23 | Knicks v. Pelicans -8 | 105-113 | Push | 0 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
This game means a lot for the Pelicans who want to move up out of the play in and the Knicks are stable at the No. 5 seed and will be trying to avoid injuries. The Pelicans are playing excellent basketball down the stretch and they have been winning and covering a lot lately. If this team can get into the first round or win in the play in then Zion Williamson could be back for the playoffs, and a healthy Pelicans could be a force to be reckoned with. So they have some extra motivation here. |

04-07-23 | A's v. Rays -1.5 | Top | 5-9 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #962 Tampa Bay (-1.5 RL) over Oakland (6:40p.m., Friday, April 7 MLB.tv) The Rays are the only undefeated team in baseball, and they are playing one of the worst teams in the league tonight at Tropicana Field. All six of their victories came by at least 4 runs and tonight should be no different. Zach Eflin was outstanding in his first start this season and the same cannot be said for Ken Waldichuk. Oakland is 18-38 in their last 56 road games. Tampa Bay is 36-17 in their last 53 home games. The Rays are 19-7 in their last 26 home games against a left-handed starter. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |

04-07-23 | Mariners +116 v. Guardians | 5-3 | Win | 116 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #960 Seattle +115 over Cleveland (4:10p.m., Friday, April 7 MLB.tv) These two squads met last week in Seattle and getting Logan Gilbert as an underdog is too good to ass up. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Coyotes v. Seattle Kraken -1.5 | Top | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 19 m | Show |
The Coyotes had their nice hot streak where they were very competitive at home for a stretch but the wheels have fallen off despite the venue. They have lost eight straight, and they have a goal differential of -15 in their last three games. In their last match, they lost to this Kraken club here in Seattle 8-1. Seattle is still fighting for playoff position, so they have motivation here, while the Coyotes look like they are ready to pack it in for the season and they have been playing their worst hockey of a lousy season recently. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Blazers v. Spurs -4 | Top | 127-129 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
It’s not often that we see the Spurs listed as a favorite, but here we are. And we think it’s very justified for this game tonight. Both teams have skeleton rosters here. But the Spurs have the better roster here and home-court advantage. Plus, they are in a better state mentally than the Blazers. The Spurs have been tanking all season and they know what they are. The Blazers had high expectations this season and fell well below them, and this franchise will be facing a lot of changes soon. The Spurs are just further ahead in their plan and we think that translates on the court tonight. They also have a winning record as a rare favorite and have covered in five of the last seven meetings. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Padres +150 v. Braves | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 35 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #907 San Diego over Atlanta (7:20p.m., Thursday, April 6 MLB.tv) Traveling east for the first time this season may help the Padres. This team is under pressure to repeat and improve on last year’s results and playing against top teams in the league should inspire them. This is a strong matchup of aces and look for Blake Snell to bounce back in a big way. The Padres are 18-6 in their last 24 games following an off day. The Padres are 4-1 in their last 5 games played in Atlanta. |
|||||||
04-06-23 | Red Sox v. Tigers +128 | 6-3 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 26 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #912 Detroit over Boston (1p.m., Thursday, April 6 MLB.tv) Chris Sale is back for his second start of the season and I see him struggling like he did in his first start. He lasted only 3 innings and gave up 7 earned runs. Injuries have just taken its toll on him. Detroit’s starting pitcher also got rocked in game 1 but these team is improving and took 2 of 3 games from Houston earlier this week. Boston is 7-19 in their last 26 road games. That includes going 3-13 in their last 16 road games against right handed starters. |
|||||||
04-05-23 | Lakers v. Clippers -4.5 | Top | 118-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
We liked the rested Clippers before we saw the Lakers use tons of energy last night vs. Utah, and now this looks like an even worse spot for them against the Clippers, a team that has owned them in recent years. The Clippers have won and covered five straight in the series. They are coming off two straight losses and they need a win badly here. The Lakers have played two grueling road games since the Clippers last played, and they needed OT last night to get by Utah, so this is a supersized back-to-back and their third game in four nights. Tough task against a Clippers team desperate for a win. |
|||||||
04-05-23 | Flames v. Jets -125 | 3-1 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Calgary enters on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, while the Jets are well rested with two nights off. This is a very good home team and they will have extra motivation against a Canadian foe. The home team has won four straight in this series, and we expect that trend to continue here tonight. The Flames didn’t look good last night in a loss to the Blackhawks and we don’t see them bouncing back with better play here on a B2B. |
|||||||
04-05-23 | Giants +120 v. White Sox | 3-7 | Loss | -100 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #975 San Francisco over Chicago (2:10p.m., Wednesday, April 5 MLB.tv) Not a fan of the White Sox this season and this is a matchup of No. 1 starters. We will side with Logan Webb, as he had a good season in 2022 and look for more of the same in 2023. The Giants are 8-2 in their last 10 interleague road games against teams with a losing record. The White Sox are 3-7 in their last 10 interleague games. Dylan Cease was outstanding at Houston, but I just do not believe he can be that dominating two starts in a row. The lack of run support he will receive this season will eventually catch up with him. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Kings v. Pelicans -1.5 | 121-103 | Loss | -110 | 32 h 54 m | Show | |
New Orleans is playing as well as any team in the Western Conference right now and they are on the verge of moving up from the play in and being a Top 6 seed as they are one game out. They face a Kings team that didn’t play well Sunday in a loss to the Spurs. They face a considerable step up in class tonight against a well-rested team. The Kings have covered only two of their last seven meetings here and normally don’t play their best in the Big Easy. |
|||||||
04-04-23 | Tigers v. Astros -1.5 | 6-3 | Loss | -130 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take Houston (-1.5 RL) over Detroit (8:10p.m., Tuesday, April 4 MLB.tv) The Astros could not complete the comeback on Monday, but they do not want to drop the first two games of their series to Detroit. The Tigers will be one of the worst teams in the league in 2023 and we will lay the run line with the low odds backing the much better team. Framber Valdez threw 5 shutout innings on opening day and expect another strong showing from him on Tuesday. |
|||||||
04-03-23 | Predators v. Stars UNDER 6 | 1-5 | Push | 0 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Nashville went over in their last game, barely, but that broke a streak of three straight unders and now they have hit the under in 4 of 6. This team has been playing fantastic defense lately and they have been inconsistent offensively. We think both teams step up on defense here, and Dallas has been one of the better under teams in the NHL all season. Four of the last five meetings have gone under, with one push. |
|||||||
04-03-23 | Blue Jays -114 v. Royals | 5-9 | Loss | -114 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #961 Toronto over Kansas City (7:40p.m., Monday, April 3 MLB.tv) No bet against the Royals is a bad bet. They got swept over the weekend in their series hosting the Twins and now face a better offensive team in Toronto. The Royals may have the better starting pitcher in this matchup and that has kept this line low allowing us good value with the much better hitting team. The Blue Jays are 20-9 in their last 29 road games. Toronto is 20-8 in their last 28 games against Kansas City. Finally, the Royals are 2-8 in their last 10 series during game 1 of that series. |
|||||||
04-02-23 | White Sox v. Astros -138 | 6-3 | Loss | -138 | 3 h 45 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #918 Houston over Chicago (2:10p.m., Sunday, April 2 MLB.tv) The player who had the most power for the White Sox the last couple of years now plays for the Astros. Mike Clevinger has not been the same pitcher since he left Cleveland and I do not see him getting much run support this season. Chicago is 3-8 in their last 11 games following a loss in their previous game. Houston is 5-0 in their last 5 series during game 4 of that series. |
|||||||
04-01-23 | Phillies v. Rangers OVER 7.5 | 3-16 | Win | 100 | 4 h 30 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #977 Over 7.5 in Philadelphia @ Texas (4:05p.m., Saturday, April 1 MLB.tv) Both aces got pounded in game one of this series and I feel at least one of these teams will put up a big number on Saturday as well. The Phillies have gone over the posted total in 5 of their last 8 games played on Saturday. The Rangers have gone over the posted total in 20 of their last 29 series during game 2 of it. |
|||||||
03-31-23 | Rockies v. Padres OVER 7.5 | 4-1 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #903 Over in Colorado @ San Diego (9:40p.m., Friday, March 31 MLB.tv) We hit this game last night in terrible weather and expect game two to go over the posted total as well. The Rockies showed last night they can put up a big number against an ace pitcher and tonight should be no different. Kyle Freeland got hit pretty hard last year and I do not see things improving much in 2023. The Padres are an over team and they have gone over the posted total in 6 of their last 8 games against NL West teams (1 push). |
|||||||
03-31-23 | Knicks v. Cavs UNDER 221 | Top | 130-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
Two very good defensive teams here and we see points being hard to come by tonight. The Knicks are coming off a spectacular defensive performance where they held the Heat to 92 points. Cleveland has held two of their last five opponents under the century mark. The Cavs are the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA for points allowed, and they have had two nights off, so they will have plenty of energy for lock-down defense. The under is 4-1 in their last five playing with two days of rest. The Knicks are trending to the under, with four straight going under the posted total. The last two meetings both went under, and the finals were well under tonight’s posted number. |
|||||||
03-31-23 | Rangers -137 v. Sabres | 2-3 | Loss | -137 | 6 h 24 m | Show | |
We were on the Rangers last night in New Jersey and they didn’t play their best game, but they take a big step down in class here and they should be primed for a bounce back. Buffalo has won just two of seven, and they seem to be focused on the offseason as they just don’t have the spark they did earlier in the season when they were in contention. The Rangers have won four of the last five visits here, and they are the much better team in way better form here. |
|||||||
03-30-23 | Rockies v. Padres OVER 7 | 7-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #967 Over in Colorado @ San Diego (9:40p.m., Thursday, March 30 MLB.tv) The time has been pushed back to this evening with the threat of rain in the morning. The Padres were an over team to finish last season going over the posted total in 10 of their last 15 games (1 push). Just do not feel this will be a low scoring pitching duel, as neither starter had a strong season in 2022. The Padres lineup is loaded, and the Rockies usually need to score runs if they have a chance to win games and 2023 should be no different. |
|||||||
03-30-23 | Celtics +2.5 v. Bucks | 140-99 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Love the Celtics in this spot. They are coming off a drubbing by the Wizards in a game where they were probably looking ahead, and we are getting a better line as a result. Milwaukee is on a back-to-back and they played a crazy game last night vs. Indiana where they scored 149 in a fast paced game. They worked hard and ran a lot, and we think they will be tired here. The Celtics always seem to get up for big games, and the Bucks have been the opposite as they are 1-7 ATS in their last eight against teams above .600. Boston is 18-7-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings in Milwaukee, and they won’t be intimidated at all to play their best here tonight. |
|||||||
03-30-23 | Rangers +120 v. Devils | Top | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
This is one of the biggest games of the season for both teams, with only two points separating them in the standings. It’s all but a forgone conclusion these teams will face each other in the first round of the playoffs, so home ice in that series is on the line here. The stakes don’t get much higher for a single hockey game. There will be plenty of Rangers fans here, eliminating some of the home-ice advantage for the Devils. But if this were, say, Game 7 in a playoff series, New York would much rather be playing at MSG., so we think they bring their A Game tonight. And, in our opinion, with both teams playing their best, the Rangers are the better squad. And we are getting an even better price here than we anticipated. New York is playing as well as any team in the league right now. They are 8-1-1 in their last 10 and have won seven of eight. Two of their last three were very impressive, with road wins at Florida and Carolina. This is one of the best road teams in the NHL, and they actually have a slightly better record in road games. The Devils aren’t in near the form the Rangers are. They have taken full points in only two of their last eight games. They are coming off an embarrassing 5-1 loss at the Islanders, and they lost to Buffalo in their last three. The Rangers got off to a slow start this season, but have been among the league’s elite teams since early December. They made effective moves at the deadline that have them set up for success in the postseason, and they will be focused for this important game on Thursday. The Devils stole an OT win in the last meeting, but needed a two-goal rally in the third period to force OT after New York dominated most of the game. But New York has won 10 of the last 13 meetings, and six of the last eight in New Jersey. |
|||||||
03-29-23 | Bucks v. Pacers UNDER 237.5 | 149-136 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
These teams played on March 16 and the total went over by 25 points. But just because one game is high scoring, doesn’t mean this one will be. Both teams have crucial players on the injury report, and we don’t see the Pacers having anywhere near the success they did in scoring 139 last time. Milwaukee will no doubt tighten up on the defensive end, and Indiana won’t shoot as well as they did in the last meeting, especially from deep. |
|||||||
03-28-23 | Canucks v. Blues OVER 6.5 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 7 h 18 m | Show | |
St. Louis is trending to the over, and the Canucks have been one of the best over teams all season. The Blues have scored 16 goals in their last three games, and they now play one of the worst defensive teams in the NHL. And the Blues defense is even worse. We see this as a competitive game where both teams get their share of the total. |
|||||||
03-28-23 | Celtics v. Wizards +11.5 | 111-130 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Just think this is too many points and a possible letdown spot for the Celtics with their big game against the Bucks looming. Washington hasn’t covered a lot of spreads lately but they will no doubt want to play well here against the Celtics in front of the home fans, and we just don’t see Boston running away with this one, especially since they likely have their eyes on the Bucks matchup on Thursday. |
|||||||
03-27-23 | Oilers -1.5 v. Coyotes | Top | 5-4 | Loss | -130 | 10 h 37 m | Show |
We have been all over the Coyotes puckline in home games this season. But this team has been overworked lately, and no one could blame them to not give 100% here in a game that would get ugly quickly. Not only is this a back-to-back for Arizona and their third game in four nights, but they played extended hockey last night with OT and a shootout. They lost that shootout to the Avs, and they looked out of gas there at the end of the game. Edmonton was off Sunday and they have won seven of eight in this series, five of which came by multiple goals. |
|||||||
03-27-23 | 76ers v. Nuggets -5 | Top | 111-116 | Push | 0 | 9 h 10 m | Show |
The Sixers two best players are questionable here and this Philly team is reeling a bit. They have lost two straight and three of four, and those losses weren’t pretty. Denver has won and covered three straight and four of five, and it seems this team’s recent struggles are in the rearview mirror. Denver matches up well here and this team seems to have raised their level of play lately and in the last few games this team looks like a squad that can beat anyone. We think they will want to make a statement in this possible NBA Finals preview. |
|||||||
03-26-23 | Blues v. Kings -1.5 | 6-7 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
The Kings have been playing some of their best hockey this season at the moment and they have won nine of 10. Seven of their most recent wins have been by multiple goals, so they have been dominant. One of those multi-goal wins was earlier this month against these Blues. Both teams are on a back-to-back, but the Kings will have played both games at home, so that is another big advantage. |
|||||||
03-26-23 | Spurs v. Celtics UNDER 232 | 93-137 | Win | 100 | 6 h 43 m | Show | |
After scoring below the Century Mark in two straight games, the Spurs broke out with 124 in a losing effort in Washington last time out. We don’t see them getting anywhere near that against a Top 5 defense here. The Spurs have a lot of injuries right now and their lineup hasn’t been a cohesive unit lately. There’s not much indication the Spurs will even care about this game. And a likely blowout bodes well for the under. |
|||||||
03-26-23 | Miami-FL +4 v. Texas | 88-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 42 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #655 Miami (FL) over Texas (5:05p.m., Sunday, March 26 CBS) Miami is poised to break through and reach the Final Four for the first time in their history. They have players that can make shots against this big Texas team and I feel they should be able to take this one down to the wire. Miami is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Texas is 3-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 15 NCAA Tournament games. |
|||||||
03-25-23 | Bucks v. Nuggets -2.5 | 106-129 | Win | 100 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
It seems the Nuggets are back on track as they have won and covered two straight and three of four. The Bucks are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, and you have to think that the key guys will get limited minutes if they suit up at all. Health for the playoffs is more important to the Bucks here than winning. The Nuggets are well rested here, and a win would go a long way to putting their recent poor play in the rear-view. |
|||||||
03-25-23 | Connecticut -138 v. Gonzaga | 82-54 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #653 Connecticut -145 money line over Gonzaga (8:49p.m., Saturday, March 25 TBS) Gonzaga is coming off a battle with UCLA and now they must face a more physical and healthier team in UCONN. The Huskies have great success in this round and I feel they are more battle tested for this game. They have a great nonconference record this season. UCONN is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 NCAA Tournament games. Gonzaga is 4-12 ATS (1 push) in their last 17 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-25-23 | Jets v. Kings -114 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
The Kings have been playing as well as any team in the NHL recently as they have only two SO losses in their last 10 games with eight wins. This team has been one of the better bets in the league this season and they have won two of the last three meetings. The Kings are well rested here and should have no problem getting the full points. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Xavier +4.5 v. Texas | Top | 71-83 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 3 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #645 Xavier over Texas (9:45p.m., Friday, March 24 CBS) NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR. Just feel this will be too big of stage for Texas and their interim coach. Rodney Terry still has not been given the full time gig yet and I feel that will be a detriment to them in this game. The Musketeers have had a ton of success in the NCAA Tournament and Sean Miller has had good success at this level as well. Texas has not been at this round since 2008 prior to this run and they have not had much NCAA Tournament success in the last 15 years. Xavier is a great offensive team and that is something Texas did not see much of in the Big 12 this season. Texas plays in the better conference but I still do not believe they have seen an offensive team like Xavier will show on Friday. Xavier is 25-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 35 NCAA tournament games. Texas is 2-11 ATS (1 push) in their last 14 NCAA Tournament games. Teams have struggled to score all tournament long and giving up this many points does not bode well for Texas. Take the points, as Xavier does not need them and marches onto the Elite 8. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Spurs v. Wizards UNDER 228 | Top | 124-136 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 32 m | Show |
The Spurs have gone under in three straight, and their offense has been abysmal. They have scored 94 and 84 in their last two games. This team has a questionable roster to begin with, but they are very banged up right now, although they should get some players back from injury tonight. But this roster hasn’t had much continuity lately, and we don’t see their offense getting back into a flow tonight. The Wizards have an underrated defense. They are also trending to the under, as five of their last seven have gone under the posted number. This Spurs defense is bad. But it’s unlikely that they allow anywhere near the 130 they gave up to Milwaukee last time. The Wizards offense is Bottom 10 in the league for scoring, and two of their Top 3 scorers are out tonight. |
|||||||
03-24-23 | Devils v. Sabres UNDER 7 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -125 | 6 h 28 m | Show |
The Sabres have given up a lot of goals lately, but we think this game will go under, and we have a nice price here for that opinion. The Devils aren’t exactly lighting up the scoreboard at the moment. They have scored more than three goals only once in their last nine games. Six of their last eight games have gone under the posted number. Buffalo hasn’t been good offensively lately. They have scored two or fewer in five of their last nine, and they will be up against a Top 4 scoring defense here. We think the Sabres struggle to score again here and that the Devils don’t go crazy on the scoreboard. |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Thunder v. Clippers -4 | Top | 105-127 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a strong revenge spot for the Clippers after the Thunder edged them here on Tuesday. Not only is this a revenge spot, but the Clippers are mad/frustrated with their performance on Tuesday as they had the ball with a near full shot clock down 1 at the end of the game and didn’t even get a shot off. Paul George will miss this game and all the others to end the regular season. But Kawhi and a deep roster around him should be able to pick up the slack against a Thunder team that has been playing above their heads recently. |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Gonzaga +1.5 v. UCLA | 79-76 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #641 Gonzaga over UCLA (9:45p.m., Thursday, March 23 CBS) Just feel all the injuries UCLA has will finally catch up with them in this game. Gonzaga has been underrated most of the year and is much more healthier team in this matchup. The Bulldogs are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games following an ATS loss in the previous game. The line is trending towards Gonzaga and expect them to win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
03-23-23 | Lightning v. Senators +120 | 2-7 | Win | 120 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
The Lightning have been mediocre on the road this season at 17-17-0-1. The Senators are a pretty good team at home. Tampa Bay has dropped two straight, including to the Canadiens on the road last time out. They have scored two goals in each of the losses. Ottawa needs to win this one badly since they are now on the outside looking in for the playoff picture. Their three most recent losses were all by one goal, to Boston, Toronto (SO) and Colorado. So they aren’t in bad form despite a poor recent record. We think the price is right here tonight on the home dog. |
|||||||
03-22-23 | Coyotes v. Oilers -1.5 | 3-4 | Loss | -175 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
We have backed the Coyotes many times at home and on the puckline lately, but this is not a good spot for them on a back-to-back and on the road no less against one of the strongest offensive teams in the NBA. This Arizona team has raised their level of play at home but they just don’t bring the same energy on the road, and they are satisfied with their play lately so we think this one could get out of hand quickly. |
|||||||
03-22-23 | Blazers v. Jazz -4.5 | 127-115 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Utah has won two straight, including an impressive home win over Boston. They have covered in six straight and they are trying to hold onto their spot in the play in here tonight. The Blazers are cooked and don’t have a realistic chance to make the play in, so they are basically playing out the string here. They enter on a six-game skid. |
|||||||
03-21-23 | Wisconsin +5 v. Oregon | 61-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #615 Wisconsin over Oregon (9p.m., Tuesday, March 21 ESPN) This line has come down this morning and I expect it to be a game to be competitive. Wisconsin is motivated to be in this tournament, and this has the size to matchup with Oregon in the paint. Elite 8 matchups in the NIT tend to go down to the wire and I expect that to case on Tuesday. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Oregon is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-21-23 | Red Wings v. Blues -145 | 3-2 | Loss | -145 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
The Blues have won two straight and four of six and they are playing much better hockey lately after a long string of bad play. The Red Wings have looked horrible during their current three-game slide, the last two of which were multiple-goal losses at home. The Blues have won six of the last eight meetings, and they match up well here also. This price is more than fair when assessing the talent on the iced as well as the current form from both teams. |

03-21-23 | Cavs -3.5 v. Nets | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Brooklyn has lost three straight both SU and ATS. They had been playing well after the big trade, but they seem to have fallen off a cliff lately and their offensive struggles have been the culprit. That doesn’t bode well for tonight against the top defensive team in the NBA. Cleveland has been playing well, and they have been beating up on bad teams lately. We think this one has a good chance to be a blowout. |
|||||||
03-19-23 | Clippers -3.5 v. Blazers | 117-102 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
The Clippers are trying to put it together before the playoffs. They had their four-game winning streak snapped last time out vs. Orlando, but this team should bounce back well here, with or without Kawhi, who is listed as questionable. Portland has lost five straight and covered in only one of those games, so they are definitely vulnerable, and you know the Clips want to string together some wins and solid play before the postseason. |
|||||||
03-19-23 | Blue Jackets v. Golden Knights -1.5 | Top | 2-7 | Win | 100 | 4 h 35 m | Show |
Columbus got smacked around by Anaheim last time out and they are up against a much better team here on Sunday. They have won seven of their last nine and have looked good doing it, with three of their last four wins coming by double digits. Vegas lost last time out, and this looks like a great spot for them to bounce back with a multi-goal win. |
|||||||
03-19-23 | Liberty v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 71-75 | Win | 100 | 1 h 16 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #854 Wisconsin over Liberty (12p.m., Sunday, March 19 ESPN2) Wisconsin showed on Tuesday that they want to play in the NIT and look for them to use their size and strength to advance to round 3 of the NIT. Liberty plays a similar style that Wisconsin does and I feel they will struggle against the length that Wisconsin has. The Flames are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. The Badgers are 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 home games. |
|||||||
03-18-23 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes -141 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
These teams have similar records, but the Coyotes are starting to play well, especially at home. They are 19-11-3 here at home, and that is similar home record to some teams that are contending for the playoffs. Arizona has won five straight at home. The Blackhawks are Fat and Happy after two straight wins, including one over Boston at home, and we don’t see them giving top effort here. Chicago is 2-5 in their last seven visits here. |
|||||||
03-18-23 | 76ers v. Pacers +6.5 | Top | 141-121 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
There is some reverse line movement here as the majority of the cash is on the Sixers but the odds have moved the other way, which is always a good sign since we were really high on the Pacers to start off with. The Sixers are playing great, but they are on a back-to-back here and playing their third game in four nights, while the Pacers are well rested here with Friday off. Philly has been playing very well, but they should be tired here and we don’t see them giving 100%. These teams played two weeks ago, here in Indiana, and the Sixers had to rally for a four-point win. We think Indiana can do even better here and possibly win outright. Indiana needs to win games down the stretch to make the play in. So they will be the more motivated team. Philly traditionally struggles in this matchup as they are 0-4 ATS in the last four visits to Indiana and 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings overall. |
|||||||
03-18-23 | Duke -3 v. Tennessee | Top | 52-65 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 50 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #803 Duke over Tennessee (2:40p.m., Saturday, March CBS) Rick Barnes is a loser and we have faded him numerous times in the postseason and been highly successful doing it. Duke is playing as well as anybody in the country and will enter this game having won 9 straight games. The Blue Devils have the size to matchup with Tennessee and are much better on the perimeter without Zakai Zeigler playing. The Volunteers are 1-7 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Duke is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games. |
|||||||
03-17-23 | Blue Jackets +115 v. Ducks | 4-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Two crappy teams but we think the Columbus offense is a tad bit better. Home ice won’t matter much here with the horrible Ducks. The road team is 5-1 in the last six meetings, and we see the Blue Jackets taking care of business here as despite the records we think this is the slightly better team. |
|||||||
03-17-23 | Wizards v. Cavs UNDER 221.5 | Top | 94-117 | Win | 100 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
Cleveland has gone over in the last four games, but we are getting a great number here as the oddsmakers have overadjusted. Cleveland has the No. 1 scoring defense in the league. We expect them to hold Washington to a real low total. The Wizards are underrated defensively. They are in the top half of the league for points allowed. The under has gone 6-2 in the last eight meetings, and we think that is where the value is tonight. Cleveland is coming off a blowout loss to Philly last time out, and we think they will step up the defense here against an inferior team. This one has a chance to be a blowout, which would bode well for the under. |
|||||||
03-17-23 | Vermont +10.5 v. Marquette | 61-78 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #743 Vermont over Marquette (2:45p.m., Friday, March 17 CBS) Marquette and Shaka Smart do not have a great record in the NCAA Tournament of late and look for this to be a struggle for them to advance. Coach Smart did not win an NCAA Tournament games while at Texas and has not won a game since 2013. Vermont is 18-7 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games following a victory in their previous game. Marquette is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games. The Golden Eagles do not have the size to dominate this game and thus I expect it to be a single digit game. |
|||||||
03-16-23 | Boise State v. Northwestern -1 | 67-75 | Win | 100 | 27 h 49 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #766 Northwestern over Boise State (7:35p.m., Thursday, March 16 TruTV) No bet against the Mountain West is a bad bet in the NCAA Tournament. The MWC has won just two games in their last 15 including going 0-4 in 2022. Northwestern plays a style that can frustrate Boise State and the time off with a Friday exit from last week will do them some good. Boise State got beat badly by Utah State two times over the last ten days and I do not expect them to bounce back in a big way on Thursday. Northwestern won their first round NCAA tournament game a few years ago and I expect history to repeat itself. Boise State is 2-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 11 games. Northwestern is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. |
|||||||
03-15-23 | Warriors v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 126-134 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
10-Unit Play Take LA Clippers -2.5 over Golden State (10 p.m. EST, Wed March 15) Something has finally clicked with the Clippers. After a season of trials and tribulations, this team finally is playing at the level that most expected coming into the season. And tonight is their most important game of the season as they are tied with the Warriors and a game behind the Suns. By the end of the weekend, if all goes according to plan, Los Angeles could see themselves in the Top 4 in the West. After a season of major ups and downs, LA is in a great position to get a decent seed and do some damage in the postseason. But they need a win tonight. And we think they do just that. This team is well rested and has had three nights off coming into this super important game. The Warriors are coming off consecutive wins over the Bucks and Suns. So they are in a letdown spot here. And this team has been horrible on the road this season. They are 7-26 on the road. And they are 8-23-1 ATS on the road. A healthy and clicking Clippers team is better than the Warriors, and we think they prove that on the court tonight. Best of Luck, Doc's Sports |
|||||||
03-15-23 | Youngstown State +6 v. Oklahoma State | 64-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #705 Youngstown State over Oklahoma State (7p.m., Wednesday, March 15 ESPN+) This is not a good setup for Oklahoma State. They are disappointed they did not make the NCAA Tournament and now have to travel on the road in the NIT despite being a higher seed. Mid-majors hardly ever get to post Power 5 teams and look for the Penguins and their fans to be excited for this game. The Cowboys are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games against teams with a winning record. |
|||||||
03-14-23 | Knicks -2 v. Blazers | Top | 123-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
There is a chance this line could move through the day depending on the status of Damian Lillard for Portland, but we like the Knicks for a comfortable win even if the Blazers star plays. The Knicks are often underrated on the road, where they have played excellent basketball this season, and are 23-12 ATS on the road. This current road trip hasn’t gone the best, with a head-scratching loss in Charlotte and losses to playoff teams in the Clippers and Kings. So there will be a little bit or extra urgency here to salvage the road trip. Brunson will likely miss this game for the Knicks. But this is a more complete team than the Blazers, and we think New York will be fine without him. This is the Blazers first home game after a long road trip and that can often be tricky for a team as the players often have their minds on personal business rather than the task at hand. |
|||||||
03-14-23 | Flames v. Coyotes +1.5 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
With this juice it looks like the secret is out that Arizona is a great puckline bet at home. Calgary has been an average team lately and they have won only three of their last nine. The Coyotes have won three of four and have nice momentum right now and even when they lose they have been keeping things close at home. We like what they are building here in the desert. |
|||||||
03-14-23 | Bradley v. Wisconsin -3 | 62-81 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #676 Wisconsin over Bradley (9:30p.m., Tuesday, March 14 ESPN) Bradley is a poor man’s version of Wisconsin, as both teams like to grind it out with scoring in the sixties. Wisconsin seems happy to be in this game and wants to reach the final four in Las Vegas. Bradley is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss. Wisconsin is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a loss in their previous game. NIT is all about motivation and look for Wisconsin to finish this game strong. |
|||||||
03-13-23 | Bucks -125 v. Kings | 133-124 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show | |
Sacramento is a very good team but Milwaukee is a great team. They are coming off a loss at Golden State and will want to get back on the winning track here. Milwaukee should be getting the Greek Freak back tonight, and this Bucks team can go toe to toe with the Kings on the offensive end. But they are much better at defending, and they will have a big edge on the boards, which should result in many second chance points. |
|||||||
03-13-23 | Avalanche v. Canadiens +1.5 | 8-4 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
We see a close, low scoring game here. Montreal has been a good puckline team and are 35-25 when getting the goals. Colorado is 18-26 when laying the goals on the puckline. This is the Canadians fourth straight home match and they lost two in a shootout and suffered a late empty netter last time vs. New Jersey, so they have been very competitive and we see the same being the case tonight. |
|||||||
03-12-23 | Wild v. Coyotes +1.5 | 4-5 | Win | 100 | 9 h 21 m | Show | |
Arizona is a sneaky good team at home and this is definitely a team on the rise. They are playing hard down the stretch of the season, and that is all you can ask from a consistent underdog. Minnesota has been horrible on the puckline as a favorite, with a 17-33 record, while Arizona is 34-25 on the other end of the puckline. Nice value here despite the juice. |
|||||||
03-12-23 | Thunder -3 v. Spurs | 102-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
The Spurs are coming off an improbable win over Denver, but this team is not going to build a winning streak or anything. They are probably too happy with that win and this could be a letdown spot. OKC has won and covered in four of their last five, so they are in good form. The Spurs have covered only one of the last eight meetings. |
|||||||
03-11-23 | Blues v. Blue Jackets +119 | Top | 5-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 50 m | Show |
St. Louis stinks right now and they are playing some of the worst hockey in the league right now. They have only two wins in their last 10, and both were over the Sharks. Columbus isn’t playing great, but they have double that amount of wins in their last 10, and they also have three overtime losses, so they have been pretty competitive lately. They don’t deserve to be this big of an underdog here. St. Louis has lost five of their last seven visits here, so they don’t normally play well here. The home team is 36-17 in the last 53 meetings, which is a very strong trend that we see continuing here tonight. |
|||||||
03-11-23 | Texas v. Kansas -2 | 76-56 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #624 Kansas -2 over Texas (6p.m., Saturday, March 11 ESPN) Just do not believe Texas can beat Kansas twice in one week. Both teams have interim coaches, but playing in Kansas City will give Kansas a huge edge in fan support. Kansas is also more rested having won their game earlier in the day and it was not very competitive down the stretch. The favorite is 3-1 ATS (1 push) in the last 5 games between Texas and Kansas. The Longhorns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games. The Jayhawks are 7-3 in their last 10 games. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Ducks v. Flames UNDER 6.5 | Top | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show |
The Ducks have gone over in just one of their last seven games (one push). Three of four have gone under for Calgary, so both teams are trending to the under. The Flames offense is struggling right now. They had one goal TOTAL in regulation all three of those recent unders. They probably won’t be held that low tonight, but it’s safe to assume they won’t light up the scoreboard, either. Anaheim has scored two goals each in three of their last four, and we don’t see them doing much on the offensive end here. The under is 11-5-1 in the last 17 meetings, and the last meeting, in December, was a low scoring affair. We see a repeat here on Friday. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Nets v. Wolves -4.5 | 124-123 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Brooklyn is Fat and Happy with three wins in their last four, but we don’t see that success continuing tonight. The Wolves are the better team and this line is more than fair. Minnesota has also won three of four and they are playing well right now. Brooklyn usually doesn’t play well here and they are 5-16 ATS in the last 21 meetings. |
|||||||
03-10-23 | Connecticut -3.5 v. Marquette | 68-70 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #845 Connecticut over Marquette (6:30p.m., Friday, March 10 FS1) Connecticut in New York City is always a strong bet. They will have a huge fan base and they already beat Marquette by 15 points last meeting. This is the rubber game, but the Eagles lack of size will be the difference in this game. Marquette has had very little success in the Big East Tournament and look for that to continue on Friday night. UCONN is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral game sites. Marquette is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 neutral game sites. |
|||||||
03-09-23 | Rockets v. Pacers -9 | Top | 125-134 | Push | 0 | 5 h 12 m | Show |
The Pacers are not a great team. But they can score. And they will be highly motivated here as they are a couple games out of the Play In Tournament. They know that if they don’t get a convincing win here, that they don’t belong in the postseason. We think they get the job done. The Rockets are one of the most tanking teams right now, and they have covered only two of their last nine games. Both of those were against the Spurs, another tanking club, so maybe that was just a case of San Antonio wanting the loss more. They aren’t covering despite some very generous lines from the oddsmakers. Indiana has covered six of seven, so they have been a money machine lately and underrated by the oddsmakers. The Pacers are 21-13 ATS at home, and they normally take care of business against bad teams. The Rockets are 11-22 ATS on the road, where they normally get massive spreads like we see tonight. Houston normally doesn’t play well here and they are 4-11 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Indiana. |
|||||||
03-09-23 | Stars v. Sabres OVER 6.5 | 10-4 | Win | 101 | 5 h 9 m | Show | |
Dallas has gone over in four of five (one push), and now they take on one of the strongest offensive teams in the league. They have scored at least four goals in their last five, so we should expect them to get at least three, and Buffalo is good for around four goals per game for their season average. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Raptors v. Clippers -2 | Top | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show |
The Clippers have been a schizophrenic team, but when they start playing well they can string together some good games. They are healthy and they snapped their losing streak last time out vs. the Grizzlies. They also played well in a one-point loss at Sacramento before that. We think they are primed for a win and a cover here. Kawhi will no doubt want to play well against his former team, and this just looks like a game where the Clips Big Two could potentially go off for a big game. You know the Clippers stars like their rest, and this team has had two nights off. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Wild v. Jets UNDER 5.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
We are not scared off by the low total here. These are two of the top UNDER teams in the league, with a combines 81-40 record to the under. These are two Top 10 defensive teams and both have an offense that leaves a lot to be desired. Winnipeg had a little streak of overs, but they also played Edmonton twice. These teams met here before the calendar turned, a 4-1 Minnesota victory, and we think this could be lower scoring here. Seven of the last nine meetings in Winnipeg have gone under the posted number. |
|||||||
03-08-23 | Ohio State v. Wisconsin +2.5 | Top | 65-57 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 43 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #680 Wisconsin over Ohio State (6:30p.m., Wednesday, March 8 BTN) All season long the odds makers and metrics have overrated this Ohio State team. They were a quad 1 team for most of the season despite having a losing record. They won two home games down the stretch but they have won just 3 games since January 2nd. Wisconsin is playing for their NCAA Tournament lives and already beat this Ohio State team in Columbus back in February. The Badgers got right on offense on Sunday against Minnesota and look for that to continue on Wednesday. Ohio State is 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games following a loss in their previous game. Wisconsin is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Bucks -7 v. Magic | 134-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Milwaukee is playing the best basketball of any team in the NBA. They ended their long winning streak lately vs. Philly, but they look to start another winning streak tonight. These teams played last week in Milwaukee, and the Bucks won by 20+. We don’t think a venue change will make too much of a difference here. Revenge is out the window since the teams have had games in between. Orlando has a nice foundation for the future, but they are not playing as well as they were a couple months ago. This team is unlikely to make the play in tourney, so looks like tanking is in order down the stretch. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Maple Leafs +118 v. Devils | 4-3 | Win | 118 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rare to get the Leafs at plus money but we will take it here. The Devils have been better on the road than at home this season, and they are vulnerable here. Toronto has owned this series as they are 5-0 in the last five meetings in New Jersey and 9-1 in the last 10 meetings overall. So they won’t be intimidated here tonight, and we think they come in knowing they will win this one. The Leafs are coming off bad losses to Vancouver and Edmonton, and we think they come in mad and take it out on their American adversary. |
|||||||
03-07-23 | Northern Kentucky v. Cleveland State UNDER 126.5 | 63-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #630 Over 125.5 in Northern Kentucky vs Cleveland State (7p.m., Tuesday, March 7 ESPN) The Norse are an under team and the Vikings are an over team. We will side with the over and this total is low for a college basketball game. Cleveland State has gone over the posted total in 8 of their last 9 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-06-23 | Sharks v. Jets OVER 6 | Top | 3-2 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 49 m | Show |
Winnipeg has been one of the top under teams this season but now they are trending to the over with three straight overs. They have scored 15 goals in their last three games and their offense is playing well. It’s likely that can continue here tonight against the Sharks, who give up nearly four goals per game and are 37-23 to the over this season. San Jose has gone over in four of five and they have allowed 14 goals in their last two games. We see a competitive game here and expect both teams to get their share of goals to contribute to going over the posted number. |
|||||||
03-06-23 | 76ers v. Pacers +7.5 | 147-143 | Win | 100 | 6 h 22 m | Show | |
The Pacers have covered in five of six, and this team is playing well at the moment. This is a letdown spot for the Sixers after their big win vs. the Bucks on Saturday. Indiana has covered five of six in this series and they normally bring their A Game when facing off against Philly. The Sixers have also covered only one of their last seven meetings here. Indiana needs all the games in hand that they can get and we think they come into this one wanting the win. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Blazers v. Magic -2 | Top | 122-119 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 1 m | Show |
Portland has been on the wrong end of some blowouts lately, in five of their last six games. Orlando is sneaky good this season and they will not hesitate to take advantage of a team on a slump. They have won two straight and three of four in this series and we see another comfortable win here on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-05-23 | Maryland +4 v. Penn State | 64-65 | Win | 100 | 1 h 27 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #767 Maryland over Penn State (12p.m., Sunday, March 5 BTN) Just do not trust Penn State to handle prosperity. A win today would get them a single bye in the Big 10 Tournament and likely a bid to the NCAA Tournament. Maryland played terrible last time out against Ohio State and I believe they will bounce back in a big way on Sunday. Maryland is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games. Penn State is 1-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 5 games following a win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Hawks +3 v. Heat | 109-117 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
Miami has covered in only two of their last 10 games, and this team continues to be one of the worst bets in the NBA night after night. The Hawks have won three of four and they are playing well right now. We think they have a great chance to win here in what should be a close game. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Oilers v. Jets UNDER 6.5 | 5-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
This is the second night of a home-and-home, back-to-back. Edmonton piled on the goals last night but we think the Jets will make some adjustments here and we are also getting a better line for the total. Bettors will look at the result from yesterday and automatically think that we will see s similar result, but often the second game of these types of series often go a different way. |
|||||||
03-04-23 | Tennessee v. Auburn -2 | Top | 70-79 | Win | 100 | 2 h 26 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #620 Auburn over Tennessee (2p.m., Saturday, March 4 ESPN) Unranked team that is favored against a ranked team is always a great indicator to play the favorite. Auburn played outstanding against Alabama last time out and they will win this game by close to double digits today. Just not been a fan of Tennessee this season and feel this lack on offensive punch to make a deep run into the NCAA Tournament. Throw in the fact they lost their point guard for this game in Zakai Zeigler and I see them being a quick out in both the conference and NCAA Tournaments. Tennessee is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Auburn is 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a loss in their previous game. Auburn has revenge and is the more desperate team, needing a win to ensure they make the NCAA Tournament. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Hurricanes v. Coyotes +1.5 | 6-1 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Arizona is no longer a pushover at home and they are building something nice here in the desert. They have a winning ATS record overall this season, and this is even better at home. They have some big wins, including against the Bruins this season, at home, so they won’t be intimidated by Carolina and they will be playing for the win tonight. |
|||||||
03-03-23 | Nets v. Celtics -11 | Top | 115-105 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
We don’t get in the habit of taking NBA double-digit favorites, but we think it is justified in this situation. After the trade deadline, the Nets are sinking and will be lucky to make the play in once all is said and done for the regular season. This team is clearly looking towards next season. They have lost four straight, three by double digits, and two by 20+. In their last game, they allowed 142 to the Knicks. They have allowed 129 or more in three of their last four. That doesn’t bode well against what is, in our opinion, the best team in the league. This Boston team is a covering machine lately. This is one of the most poised, veteran clubs out there – not to mention one of the most talented – and they aren’t a team that is going to take many nights off or overlook an opponent. We think they bring their A Game here as the playoffs are quickly approaching. They are right on the heels of the Bucks for the No. 1 seed, so they know every game is important down the stretch. They have won the last three meetings by double digits (they have covered in six straight meetings), and they won by 40+ at the start of February against a stronger Nets team. This one looks like blowout city to us. |
|||||||
03-02-23 | Purdue v. Wisconsin +4.5 | 63-61 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #754 Wisconsin over Purdue (9p.m., Thursday, March 2 FS1) Purdue is starting to be exposed and teams are figuring out how to defend them. Teams that have needed wins all week long have gotten them and Wisconsin falls into that boat tonight. It is Senior Night and look for Wisconsin to play well in front of a sellout crowd. The home team is 7-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 10 meetings between Purdue and Wisconsin. Purdue is 0-3 ATS (1 push) in their last 4 road games. Wisconsin is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a loss in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-02-23 | 76ers v. Mavs UNDER 229.5 | 126-133 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
This is a letdown spot for Philly after their big revenge win over the Heat last night. Now they are on a back-to-back and with their best player questionable. Even if Embiid does play, he will not likely be 100%. Since they won last night, we think they rest him again here and hope for the best. The Sixers have played four straight unders, and the under has hit in five consecutive meetings between these teams. We think this total is about five points too high. |

03-02-23 | Sabres +1.5 v. Bruins | 1-7 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Three of the last four wins for Boston have been one-goal wins. We think their winning streak might come to an end soon, and it could be tonight. This team, has just not been as dominant in recent games, and they are getting their best shot from opponents every night. Buffalo has won three of four and this is one of the best offensive teams in the NHL. They are playing well at the moment and we think they bring their A Game to Boston tonight. |

03-01-23 | Devils v. Avalanche UNDER 6 | Top | 7-5 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 29 m | Show |
Both teams have been playing great defense lately, and we think this will be another low scoring contest. The Devils are coming off a shutout vs. Philly, and the defense was incredible in that game. They did score 7 in the win, but they won’t see anywhere near that kind of success against this Avs defense. Colorado has allowed only two goals in their last three games. So, their defense is in top form right now. When these teams meet, there is a strong history with the under. The under is 13-3-2 in the last 18 meetings in Colorado. It is 21-7-3 in the last 31 meetings overall. These teams have combined for a total of 2.5 goals in the last two meetings. |

03-01-23 | Magic +7.5 v. Bucks | 117-139 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
The Bucks have been playing amazing basketball and have some high profile wins lately, but this looks like a game where they could have a letdown effort. They are on a back-to-back here and also have Philly on deck. Orlando is rested, healthy and a team on the rise. They have been money in this price range (16-9-1 ATS as a dog of 7.5 or more), and we think they bring their A Game tonight and they should be confident they can compete for the win against a tired team. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | Lakers v. Thunder OVER 228.5 | 123-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
OKC is such a fun team to watch. They are great offensively and play little defense. Their games are often shootouts, and we see that being the case here tonight. We agree with the oddsmakers that this will be a competitive game, and we think both teams get their share of the points to send this one sailing over the total. |
|||||||
03-01-23 | 76ers -1.5 v. Heat | Top | 119-96 | Win | 100 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
This sets up as a nice revenge spot for the Heat’s win Monday in Philly. That was a rare cover for them recently, which shows the oddsmakers have been continuously overrating them. Philly is 14-6 ATS as a small favorite this season, and they are clearly the better team in this matchup. Miami has been one of the worst ATS teams all season and they continue to get too much respect from the oddsmakers. Revenge is an overrated handicapping angle in the NBA UNLESS these teams played recently, and that is certainly the case here. |

03-01-23 | Maryland v. Ohio State +110 | 62-73 | Win | 110 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
2 Unit Play. Take #680 Ohio State over Maryland (7p.m., Wednesday, March 1 BTN) Look for the Buckeyes to win two straight home games after a terrible season. Maryland is not the same team on the road that they are at home and they can afford to drop this game on Wednesday. The home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between Maryland and Ohio State. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | Wolves v. Clippers -6.5 | Top | 108-101 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 30 m | Show |
The Clippers have been inconsistent but they still have been a better bet this season than the Wolves, and we think they will want to bring their A Game tonight and leave nothing to chance after a pair of OT losses to Sacramento and Denver. The Wolves have covered in only one of the last seven meetings to LA and we think they are in for a tough game tonight. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | Blackhawks v. Coyotes -1.5 | 1-4 | Win | 141 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
We think this is a good spot for the home team to get a dominant win. The Blackhawks had been playing well until a blowout loss last night in Anaheim now they come in on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights, while the home team is rested. The Coyotes had been playing well at home but lost their last two here against much better teams than they face tonight, and we see an easy win for the home team. |
|||||||
02-28-23 | San Diego State v. Boise State -132 | 60-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 57 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take Boise State -140 money line over San Diego State (9p.m., Tuesday, February 28 CBSSN) The Broncos are desperate for a victory and need this quality win badly to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive. The Aztecs do not have much to play for in this game after beating New Mexico last time out. They have a 99% chance of winning the regular season championship regardless of the outcome of this game. This is their second straight road game and third in the last four games. SDSU is 1-4 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 games played on Tuesdays. Boise State fell to San Jose State last time out and needs to get back on track Tuesday night at the former Taco Bell Arena. |
|||||||
02-27-23 | Bruins v. Oilers UNDER 6.5 | 3-2 | Win | 105 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
This series has a strong history for the UNDER, and we think that trend will continue here on Monday. This is a marquee matchup where both teams will want to give their best, and extra effort usually comes on the defensive end. The under is 4-0 in the last four meetings in Edmonton. Overall, the under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings. Boston is trending to the under, with five of the last seven going under. Edmonton is normally a good bet for the over but the prices have been going up, and we think there is some great value here on the contrarian position. |
|||||||
02-27-23 | Heat v. 76ers -5.5 | 101-99 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
The Heat are one of the worst ATS teams in the league and they have covered in only one of their last nine games and enter on a four-game losing streak. The Sixers had their five-game winning streak snapped vs. Boston even though they played well, and this looks like a great bounce back spot. Philly is one of the best ATS teams in the league, and they do their best work at home. We see them getting a comfortable win tonight, and a blowout isn’t out of the question. |
|||||||
02-26-23 | Wisconsin +5 v. Michigan | 79-87 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #825 Wisconsin over Michigan (2p.m., Sunday, February 26 CBS) Wisconsin and Michigan are both on the bubble and thus I look for this game to go down to the wire and we will grab the points in this game. The Badgers already beat Michigan this season and look for another grinder. The underdog is 17-8 ATS in the last 25 games between Wisconsin and Michigan. |
|||||||
02-25-23 | Wright State v. Detroit -1.5 | 82-71 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #618 Detroit over Wright State (1p.m., Saturday, February 25 ESPN+) We have faded the Raiders a couple of times recently and look to do so yet again on Saturday. Detroit has won 3 of their last 4 games and has the best player on the floor in Antoine Davis. He is looking to break the all-time points mark by Pistol Pete. The favorite is 32-15 ATS (1 push) in the last 51 meetings between Wright State and Detroit. The home team is 7-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. |
