Knicks +4

New York looks to avoid elimination again as they head into Indiana for Game 6. New York blew out the Pacers in Game 5 as this team has been a roller coaster all postseason. They’re riding the momentum right now and this is a game where they’ll lean on their experience. The vets like Brunson and KAT are going to be the ones to step up again and they will set the tone in this game. New York has the experience playing and winning these eliminations games and they know they can flip the script by sending this series back to MSG. Grab the Knicks, who will wear down Indiana as this game goes on. Back New York.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +4.5

The Pacers and Knicks return to MSG for Game 5 and we're on the Pacers here with the points. Indiana split with the Knicks at home and still have a commanding 3-1 lead in this series. They have obviously proven all postseason they can win on the road and the Knicks are banged up entering this one. KAT is listed as questionable and even if he plays, he won't be at 100%. The Knicks are just 2-5 ATS here inside the Garden and Indiana still has all the momentum right now. This is a game where they can get out early and produce a lot of nervous energy inside this arena as the game goes on. Grab the points here.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

OKC -8

The Thunder look to close the West out on Wednesday when they welcome in the Timberwolves for Game 5. Oklahoma City was blown out in Game 3, but have looked flawless in all 3 of the other games this series. They’re getting things done on both ends of the floor and right now, Minnesota just can’t stop them offensively. The Thunder have showcased they can attack the rim, while also opening up many different shooting lanes for their outside threats. They’re putting up over 117 ppg in the postseason and Minnesota just can’t slow them down. Look for OKC to put their foot on the gas early in this one and not let up. Back the Thunder.

Wednesday 8* MLB O/U Play

Pacers -2

Indiana is the move in Game 3 as they have a chance to take control of this series completely. It’s odd seeing Indiana as a favorite as they’ve been an underdog in almost every game this postseason and they’ve covered or won a majority of them. The Knicks right now aren’t getting contributions they need from their depth and the Pacers are creating a lot of clean looks offensively. The Pacers are wearing down the Knicks as the game goes on and this will be a spot where they do the same and have a lot of energy from this crowd behind them. Back Indiana.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +6.5

The Pacers are the move here as they take on the Knicks in Game 2. Indiana stormed back in Game 1 and stole it once again as they come in with all the momentum now. There is going to be some nervous energy in this building and this is going to be a game where the Pacers can play much looser. This is just too many points in this spot as the Pacers are playing with such confidence right now. Indiana can match the shooting of the Knicks and they’re just as physical. Look for this game to stay close as Indiana’s offense has averaged nearly 120 ppg this postseason. Back Indiana.

Friday 10* TOP NBA ATS Play

Pacers +4.5

Indiana is the move as they take on the Knicks in Game 1. Both underdogs advanced in the East and this is going to be a very physical series. This is too many points for the Pacers, who have already proven they can win on the road this postseason. They can look to their perimeter defense, that held the Cavaliers to under 30% from behind the arc in 4 of the 5 games last round. They can frustrate this Knicks side and win this game on the defensive end. New York has shown some issues when it comes to streaky shooting, which doesn’t bode well against this kind of defense. Back Indiana.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -7

Oklahoma City and Minnesota meet in the Western Conference Finals. The Thunder have good value here at home. Oklahoma City dominated Denver in Game 7 as they continued to force turnovers. Their defense seems to pick up the energy at home, as they forced 75 turnovers in total over the 4 home games in that series. That’s going to be the difference here as the Timberwolves are going to have their hands full trying to create open looks. All season long, the Thunder leaned on their defense and they’re doing that again here in the postseason. Look for them to make a statement in Game 1 and frustrate Minnesota all night long. Back OKC.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Boston +2.5

The Celtics are the move here in Game 6 as they try and send this series back to Boston. While they’re obviously without Tatum, this team still has plenty of talent to go around and they showed that in Game 5 as they forced this series back to MSG. Boston has 6 players score in double figures and they had the guys stepping up all over the place in Game 5. Pritchard and White both set the tone and they have the depth to beat this Knicks side. Look for Boston to put their emphasis on the defensive end and they can turn defense into offense after forcing turnovers. This is a game where Brown can step up in a big way and Boston can send this back home for Game 7. Grab the points.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

OKC -4.5

The Thunder are the move as they try to close out the Nuggets. Oklahoma City took a 3-2 lead as they got some clutch shots down the stretch of Game 5. Denver has had their chances to take control of this series and they’ve failed late and now they’re going to have their backs against the wall here. Their lack of depth has been a giant issue during this series as they’re asking a ton of different players to step up after playing nearly the entire game. The opposite can be said for OKC, who has plenty of weapons off the bench. They’ve worn down the Nuggets and this is a game where Denver is going to run out of gas. Grab the Thunder.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

OKC -10.5

The Thunder are the move as they return home even at 2-2. The Nuggets had their chance and couldn’t close out Game 4 as now all the momentum is with the Thunder and they’ll have the crowd energy behind them. The Thunder are going to put the clamps down defensively like they did in the 4th quarter of Game 4 as the Nuggets had no answer at the rim. The Thunder dominating all season by leaning on their defense and that’s going to be the difference once again. This will be a game dominated by the Thunder on both ends of the floor and keep their foot on the gas throughout. Back the Thunder.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -5

Cleveland is worth a move here in Game 4. After getting back to 100% health team wise, the Cavs throttled the Pacers in Game 3. They have all the momentum and this is another case where they can put their foot on the gas and come out firing. Mitchell having the support of Garland and Mobley not only gives the team depth, but it allows for plenty more options on the floor. Cleveland is the better team and they’ll have all the confidence to even this series up in another blowout fashion. Back Cleveland. 

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -5.5

The Celtics are the move in Game 3 as the series shifts to MSG. Boston blew huge leads in both Games 1 and 2 and now are in pretty much do or die mode entering Game 3. Despite being down 2-0, they still held double digit leads in both games and they’re the better overall team. They I’ll put an emphasis on coming out with the same fire and holding the lead this time. Boston is still deeper and they’re not going to shoot as bad as they’ve shot from behind the arc. They were one of the best in the regular season, shooting at a 37% clip from behind the arc. This will be a game they’re going to dictate everything and not take their foot off the gas. Lay the points.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -2

Cleveland is down 2-0 after blowing a 20 point lead in Game 2 in Cleveland. This is pretty much a must win and while they still have some players questionable, they’re still a valuable pick. Cleveland led for 4/5 of the game without the likes of Garland and Mobley and a couple of missed calls down the stretch costed them. Cleveland is still the better team here and Mitchell is the best player on the court. Look for Cleveland to come out with that same grind mentality and win this game on the defensive end. They let their guard down in the 4th quarter after playing relentless defense for 3 quarters in Game 2. They’re still the better team and have the value here. Back Cleveland.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Warriors +10.5

Golden State has the value here catching a lot of points. Even without Steph Curry, the Warriors are going to keep this close. Golden State is going to slow this pace down and really put an emphasis on this game being low scoring. They showcased they can frustrate teams with their defensive ability after having Houston clearly struggling to find open shots in the first round. Look for this to be a defensive struggle and for this game to be won with their 102 ppg against during this postseason. The Warriors have enough vets still on their team to keep this close. Back Golden State.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -9

This is a prime bounce back spot for Cleveland. The Cavaliers fell in Game 1 and it took the Pacers having an unreal shooting night to beat them by just a few. Cleveland has been one of the best teams when it comes to bouncing back and they're going to come out with some fire here. Garland remains questionable, but optimistic he can play here in Game 2, which would be a huge boost for this Cavs side, Regardless, they're going to shoot the ball better from 3 and they'll put much more pressure on these Indiana shooters. Grab the Cavs in a big way.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Knicks +9.5

This is too many points for the Knicks here in Game 1. New York and Boston typically provide a lot of scrappy games where both teams play with a lot of intensity. That is going to be the case here as the Knicks are going to do everything they can to wear down Boston. New York won their series with the Pistons thanks to the defensive end and that is what they'll have to do here. They allowed just 106.7 ppg during the series win and they'll put an emphasis on closing out on these outside shooters. Look for them to try and slow the game down, knocking Boston out of their rhythm. Grab the points.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets +6.5

Denver is the move here as they take on the Clippers in Game 6. The last 10 times these two teams have clashed, Denver has lost by 7+ points just 1 time. All these games tend to be close and this will be another game as they try to steal this game and series. It’s the experience of Jokic and Murray that are becoming the difference as this team goes when they go. Look for this to be another game they play through Jokic and we see Denver play with a ton of pressure on both ends of the floor. Grab the points.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets +2

Denver is off a buzzer beating win and now they look to hold par with Game 5 at home. The Nuggets have all the momentum and they have stepped up defensively to make this series even. They’re suffocating these Clippers shooters and they’re not letting these LA stars get into rhythm. The Nuggets are a deeper team as well and with new life, Jokic and Murray are both going to step up here. With new found life in this series, Denver is going to feed off the home crowd energy and come out of the gates quick. Back Denver.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Denver +6.5

Denver has the value catching points here. The Nuggets aren’t going to go away quietly and they can erase that Game 3 quickly and focus on evening this series up. This is a game where Denver has to put the emphasis on getting back to their defensive ways. They allowed far too many easy looks for the Clippers in Game 3 and they’re at their best when they can shut down any transition game. This is the kind of game where the stars step up and it’ll be Murray and Jokic who come up big. Denver will get off to a quick start and wear down the Clippers with their relentless pressure. Back Denver.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -4.5

Boston is the move as they take on the Magic in Game 3. This series is just a complete mismatch and Boston isn’t going to mess around here. The Celtics are just better all around on both ends of the floor and they’ve done it with relentless pressure. Orlando hasn’t been able to find open looks anywhere on the floor and it’s resulted in many one and dones for them. On the offensive side, the Celtics are creating a lot of open shooting lanes with their transition play and it’s putting Orlando on their heels. Boston will come in with the same game plan and bury the Magic on Friday. Back Boston.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Thunder -8.5

The Thunder have value laying the points here. Simply put, Memphis is just out classed in this series. OKC blew them away in Games 1 and 2 and this one should be no different. The Thunder have won both playoff games by significant margins and they swept the regular season head to head meetings with wins by no less than 13. This will be another case where they push the tempo on Memphis and just have them on their heels all night long. Grab the Thunder.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -1

The Clippers have the value here as they take on the Nuggets on Monday in Game 2. Denver threw everything they had at LA in Game 1 and saw 4 of their starters rack up 45+ minutes in what was eventually a 2 point Denver win. Fatigue is going to catch up to them here, especially with how physical this LA side plays. The Clippers can still come in with plenty of confidence as they are right there with Denver in this series after Game 1. They saw they can go toe to toe and Denver still hasn't looked like themselves as of late. They are just 2-13 ATS in their last 15 home games and this will be a game where the Clippers come out with a lot of aggression. They're going to wear down this Nuggets side as this game gets deeper. Back Los Angeles.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Lakers -4

Los Angeles is the move against the Timberwolves on Saturday night. Los Angeles traded for Doncic and this team took off. They’re playing with such confidence and momentum heading into the postseason. Los Angeles finished as the 3 seed and while this team has the firepower offensively, they are such a force defensively. They gave up just 112 ppg this year and they have the ability to lock down on any team. Expect them to frustrate this Minnesota attack and put an emphasis on the defensive end with their relentless pressure. Back Los Angeles.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Pistons +7

The Pistons are the move here as they catch a lot of points against the Knicks. Injuries have been a downfall of this Knicks side all season long as they just can't seem to stay healthy. They are going to have their issues with gritty Pistons team that was a huge surprise this season. Detroit has grinded out games against some good teams all season long and they Cade Cunningham is going to be the difference. His presence on both ends of the floor is a handful and this team leans on his energy. Detroit will keep this close and they'll have their chances to steal it outright. Back Detroit.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Mavs +6.5

The Mavericks are the move grabbing the points. Dallas came out with a purpose in their play in game against the Kings and took it to them right from the start. Davis and Thompson dominated, combining for 50 points in the win and they’re going to come out with the same kind of aggression. Morant also continues to battle an ankle injury and even if he gives it a go tonight, he’s not going to be at 100%. Dallas has all the tools to compete with Memphis and they can score with their tempo. Grab the points in what will be a closer game than expected.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Orlando -5

We're on the Magic here as they take on the Hawks in the NBA Play-in. The Magic were a struggle in the first half of the season, but as this team got healthier, their play got significantly better. They're rolling right now and they've covered 4 of their last. 6 home games, while also going 11-4 ATS in their final 15 games prior to benching everyone on Sunday. Orlando is going to have the Hawks off their rhythm and really put the pressure on defensively. If they slow this game down, Atlanta will be out of their comfort zone and the Magic will have the edge on both sides of the floor. Back Orlando.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets +6.5

Brooklyn is the move here against the Knicks. The Knicks have already clinched the 3 seed and this will be a game you don’t see many starters get minutes. The Knicks focus is to remain healthy and just head into the playoffs. Brooklyn will have a young core to build off and they saw all 5 starters score in double figures last game. They’re going to look to cap the season off with a win and they’ll have far more motivation than New York. Grab the points here as Brooklyn has played a majority of their best basketball at home this season.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Grizzlies +7

Memphis is the move here against the Nuggets. Memphis is in a bounce back spot after getting blown around by Minnesota on Thursday, but they matchup well here. Denver right now is in a weird spot after firing their coach and nobody really knows the direction this team is going into the playoffs with. Memphis still has won 3 of 4 and they’re back to playing good basketball as they allowed 108 points or less in those 3 wins. They can keep this close and they’ll have their chances to steal it outright. Back Memphis.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -8.5

The Suns are a mess right now and this is a great spot on Golden State. Kevin Durant has been out and even if he plays here, he will probably be limited. That doesn’t bode well for a Suns team that has failed to cover in 7 straight games and they’ve lost 6 in a row SU. Meanwhile, the Warriors are playing very well on both sides of the ball and they’ve cashed in 4 of 5. This is a complete mismatch any which way you look at it and we’re getting good value on the Warriors. Back Golden State.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Florida -1

The Gators are the move in the Championship against Houston. At one point, Houston had a 1% chance of winning against Duke and somehow mounted a crazy comeback to win. While they deserve a ton of credit for being here, they’re going to run into a gauntlet of Florida. This Gators team is so physical and they will wear down Houston on Monday. Florida did that exactly to Auburn as the deeper the game went, the more of a struggle the Tigers had of scoring. Florida will force a lot of turnovers and they crash the boards as good as any team. They will overpower Houston and control the paint on both ends of the floor. This is the Gators’ season and they’re far too good and playing too well to pass up on. Back Florida.

Monday 9* NCAAB National Championship ATS Play

Duke -4.5

Duke and Houston clash and we’re on Duke here. The Blue Devils are just simply running through the opposition right now. They beat up Alabama right from the start, as they routed them by 20 in the Elite 8. Duke is dominating on both ends of the floor, which was their theme all season. While Arizona got them into a track meet, Duke gave up 49, 66, and 65 in their other 3 wins this tourney. Duke has too much firepower for Houston. The Cougars don’t play quick and the Blue Devils can get them with their transition game. Back Duke.

Saturday 10* NCAAB ATS Play

Heat -1

Miami takes on Milwaukee and we’re getting a good line on the Heat. Miami dealt all season with the Butler drama, but this team handled it well and they continue to battle for postseason positioning. They’re off a buzzer beating loss to Memphis, but this team is still playing very well and they’re extremely confident coming into play here. Miami will get some key pieces back here and Milwaukee will have their hands full with this defense. Miami ranks 4th in the league in victories, with a defensive rating of 104.3 in wins. Look for them to lean on their defense. Back Miami.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Florida -2.5

Florida and Auburn meet in the Final 4 and this is a great spot on the Gators. Florida has looked like the best team in the NCAA many times this season and throughout the tournament as they continue to do everything right. They came from behind against Texas Tech in dramatic fashion as they went wild from behind the arc in the final 2 minutes. Florida takes on an Auburn team they matchup well with. The Tigers have had some issues at times and the physicality of Florida is going to be tough for them. This is a game Florida will wear down Auburn and you won’t see the Tigers getting anything easy in the paint. Back Florida.

Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Lakers -1.5

Los Angeles is the move against the Warriors. This is a potential playoff matchup we could see down the road and the Lakers will want to send a message here. Los Angeles has been great at home all season long and they’re finally healthy again. They come in winners in back to back games and 3 of their last 4 as they’re getting the job done on both ends of the floor. Overall, this team concedes just 112 ppg and they’re going to turn up the intensity on the defensive end. They matchup well with the Warriors and this is a good line.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cavs -10.5

Cleveland is the move here against the Knicks. The Cavs are inching closer to clinching the 1 seed in the East and situationally this is a great spot. Cleveland is 13-4 ATS with the rest advantage while the Knicks have gone 2-10 ATS with no rest. We’ve seen them have so many issues with the Knicks struggling against top teams as well. They come in 1-10 ATS against top 5 teams and the Cavs have dominated them this season. The Knicks are struggling and they have injuries to deal with. Back Cleveland.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Charlotte -1

Charlotte is the move against Utah. The Jazz have dropped 5 in a row and they just don’t have much firepower offensively right now. They have been blown out in all 5 losses and they have scored under 100 points in 3 of those games. This team right now just can’t compete and they’re going to struggle with Charlotte’s speed. The Hornets only give up 113 ppg which is solid for a team that has been a struggle like them. This is a good spot for the Hornets to play with a ton of pressure and cause a lot of issues for the Jazz. Back Charlotte.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toronto -3

The Raptors are the move against the 76ers. Phili has been begging for this season to end as injuries and so much drama has given this team issues. Toronto has not thrown the towel in just yet and they are playing well with 3 straight wins. During this stretch, they’ve allowed 104 points or less and Phili will have their hands full with their suffocating defense. Look for this game to be dictated by the Raptors on both ends of the floor. The 76ers have lost 5 straight ATS and this game has the makings of a 6th in a row. Back Toronto.

Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play

Tennessee +3

The Vols are the move, as they watch points here. They match up well with the Cougars and this is a game where they can dictate a lot on both ends of the floor. Tennessee is playing exceptionally well and this defense is going to cause so many issues for Houston. They have allowed 62, 58, and 65 points in their 3 tourney wins and they will suffocate these Houston shooters. They will play with a lot of aggressiveness defensively and frustrate the Cougars as this game goes on. Grab the points.

Sunday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Duke -6.5

Duke is the move as they take on Alabama on Saturday. The Blue Devils continue to look like the top team in the tournament as they’re doing just about everything right. They’re getting contributions from so many different players each game and they’re off a 100 point performance against Arizona. While they did struggle last time out defensively, things are going to be different in this matchup. Duke only gave up 62.5 ppg this season overall and they can frustrate this Bama side. Look for them to pick up the intensity defensively and really put an emphasis on suffocating these shooters. This is a game where they won’t let Bama get into any sort of rhythm and we’ll see Duke turn defense into offense a lot. Back the Blue Devils.

Saturday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Boston -12.5

The Celtics are the move here on Saturday. This road trip has been a successful one for the Celtics and this is a clear cut mismatch on Saturday. Boston has covered all 4 games of this road trip and they’re doing it in pretty convincing fashion. This is typically the time they really turn things on so close to the playoffs and the Spurs just don’t have the firepower to keep up. The Spurs have been a mess defensively, giving up over 123 ppg in their last 15 and Boston’s offense will have a field day. Look for them to set the tone early and have plenty of open looks at the basket. Grab Boston.

Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play

Florida -6.5

Florida is the move against Texas Tech on Saturday. The Red Raiders needed a frantic comeback against the Razorbacks to steal a win and set up this matchup with Florida. The Gators right now are just playing at a different level and they’re going to overwhelm this Tech side. The Gators are not just beating teams most of the time, they’re blowing them out as their offense is one of the best in the nation. They put up 87 on Maryland and Texas Tech simply doesn’t have enough to keep up. Look for Florida to wear them down as this game goes on. Back the Gators.

Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Purdue +8.5

Purdue is the move as they catch a lot of points against Houston. The Boilermakers have been sneaky good so far through their first two games and this is a game where they can match the intensity defensively that Houston brings. Purdue gave up just 63 and 62 points in their two wins so far and they're going to put an emphasis on shutting down these shooters. Look for them to suffocate the Cougars outside threats and they have the length inside to now allow anything easy at the rim. Purdue has the ability to not only keep this game close, but they will have their chances to win it. Look for this game to be close throughout. 

Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Auburn -8.5

Auburn and Michigan meet in the Sweet 16 and we're playing the Tigers here. Michigan needed a huge run late to knock off A&M and stay in the tourney, but this is going to be a much tougher task for them. The Tigers showcased they can score in flurries against Creighton and they can go on runs at any time. Auburn averaged nearly 84 ppg during the regular season and they have put up 83 and 82 points in their wins so far during the tournament. They've also held the opposition to just 63 and 70 points, which ultimately will be the difference here. They are too good defensively and will frustrate this Michigan side that doesn't have the firepower to keep up. Back Auburn.

Friday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Texas Tech -5

The Red Raiders are the move here s they take on Arkansas. Calapari has this Razorbacks team playing at a high level right now, but this is not a good matchup for them. Texas Tech loves to crash the boards and they rarely allow 2nd chances on the defensive end. Combine that with how good this team is defensively and the Razorbacks are going to struggle. Tech is one of the best at suffocating shooters and they gave up just 67.6 ppg in the regular season. This is a mismatch that favors the Red Raiders.

Thursday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Duke -9

Duke is running wild right now and they have value against Arizona. The Blue Devils have covered 10 of their last 12 and in the two games they failed to cover, they were both without Cooper Flagg. Duke is blowing teams out and this offense is firing way from all over the floor. They've won by double digits 17 out their last 21 wins and Arizona's defense is going to struggle in this matchup. Look for Duke to run and attack in transition, which is going to open up a lot of shooting lanes for these outside threats. Back Duke.

Thursday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Thunder -10

This is a tough spot for Memphis as they take on the Thunder. OKC has dominated this head to head matchup, winning 8 straight in the process against them. They covered the number in 7 of those games and they just always seem to have the edge against Memphis. Memphis has been a struggle despite even winning their last game as they have gone 4-17 ATS since 2/5. They are struggling right now with the injuries they have and this is not a team you want to see on your schedule when you're having issues. Back OKC.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

BYU +5.5

The Cougars and Bama meet and this is going to be one of the more entertaining games of the Sweet 16. The Cougars have the ability to score with the Crimson Tide and they aren't shy about hoisting up three pointers. BYU loves to run and gun and this is one of the very few teams that can match the pace. BYU has taken down some top teams in the nation this season and they are 11-1 in their last 12 entering play. During that stretch, they have beaten the likes of Kansas, Iowa State, Arizona, VCU, and most recently Wisconsin. Expect this game to be close throughout. Back BYU.

Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Suns +4.5

The Suns are the move as this team is red hot right now. Phoenix catches the Celtics at the right time for starters as Tatum is likely to sit out. The Suns are in the midst of a race for the postseason and they’ve got themselves back into it with wins in 4 straight and 5 of their last 6. Phoenix knocked off Cleveland and Milwaukee in consecutive games and they’re getting the job done on both ends of the floor. Look for this game to feature a lot of back and forth, with the Suns going right at this Celtics side. They haven’t feared anyone lately and the confidence is at a high. Back Phoenix.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland State +2.5

The Vikings and Illinois State meet in the Championship of the CBI and we’re on the Vikings. Cleveland State has won their first two games of the tourney by turning them into absolute tribes and dominating the defensive end. The Vikings allowed just 65 points to FGCU last night and this is going to have a similar feel. Cleveland State will smother these Illinois State shooters and they shut down the paint as well as any team. If this game is slow paced, it certainly favors the Vikings in a game they’ll have the edge in. Back the Vikings.

Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Portland +7

Portland is the move against Cleveland. Cleveland finally ended their losing streak, but this team still looks tired and this west coast trip has worn them out. This will be the final game before heading home and they’ll have one eye on going home after the game. Portland is not the team to overlook and they gave Cleveland everything they could handle earlier this season back in Cleveland. Portland has won 4 of their last 5 and they have continued to be solid defensively as of late. In the 4 wins, they’ve held the opposition to 109 points or less. Grab the points here.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland State -4.5

The Vikings are the move here in the semi finals of the CBI. The Vikings dominated Queens from start to finish in a game where they blew them away on both ends of the floor. Cleveland State continues to be one of the best defensive teams and they are going to frustrate this Florida Gulf Coast side. The Vikings give up just 66.2 ppg and they are going to wear down FGCU from the start. Lay the points in this game as the Cleveland State is the far better team on both ends of the floor.

Tuesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Nets +2.5

Brooklyn is the move against the Mavs on Monday night. The Mavs are in off a win, but this team still is just a mess all over the place. They continue to battle injuries and this team just doesn’t have the weapons to keep up. The Nets record may not be the best, but we’ve seen this team give some of the top teams issues all season long. They’re a young team, but they have a ton of depth that’ll be the difference here. Look for them to play with a ton of speed and they will win the battle of the benches here. Back Brooklyn. 

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Iowa State -5.5

The Cyclones and Ole Miss meet and we’re on Iowa State. The Cyclones ran over Lipscomb in their opening game and they’re playing with a lot of confidence right now. Defensively, they’re giving up just 67.7 ppg and that is ultimately going to be the difference here. They will frustrate this Ole Miss offense and force them into some tough shots. The Cyclones suffocate opposing shooters and they will force a lot of turnovers. Look for this game to be won on the defensive end for ISU, as they’ll put a lot of pressure on early. Back Iowa State.

Sunday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

BYU +1.5

BYU has value here as they take on Wisconsin. This BYU team is so tough to slow down and they are going to run with the Badgers in this game. The Cougars have gone 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games and they handled VCU with ease in their opening round game. They shoot the ball at a 48.3% clip as they're one of the best in the nation at creating open looks. They're going to do just that against the Badgers in a game that'll feature a lot of transition buckets from them. Back BYU.

Saturday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Drake +7.5

We're grabbing Drake with the points here. Drake looked good in their opening round upset over Missouri. They held off a late flurry and this offense proved they could score with anyone. The Bulldogs are one of the better teams in the nation from behind the arc, as they're shooting at a 35.7% clip. Look for them to do what UNCW did against Tech and create a lot of open shooting lanes from behind the arc. This is a game where they can keep up with the pace of the Red Raiders and it'll be close throughout. Back Drake.

Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

McNeese +6.5

McNeese State has taken the NCAA fans by storm and they are the move here against Purdue. This is exactly the kind of team that Purdue will struggle against. McNeese State was extremely physical in their opening round game against the Tigers and they imposed their will early on. This is going to be a game where they go right at Purdue and play with relentless pressure. Look for them to suffocate these Boilermakers shooters and they aren't shy about holding the paint down. This is too many points.

Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Bryant +17.5

Bryant grabs a lot of points against Michigan State on Friday in Cleveland. This is a great number on Bryant, who has the ability to run with Michigan State. The Bulldogs offensively are such a tough team to slow down. They’re averaging 82.4 ppg and they can beat teams both inside and out. Their ability to get out and run will keep them in this game as they can score with MSU. They aren’t shy about getting up quick shots and Michigan State has had issues defensively at times. Bryant is playing exceptionally well and they have momentum coming into this game. Grab the points as they’ll keep this close.

Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Pistons -8.5

Detroit is worth the move as they take on Dallas. The Mavs are just in free fall mode. They’ve won 1 game this month and they just continue to battle injury after injury. Over their last 3 games they’ve conceded over 130 points in each of them and Detroit is going to expose that here. The Pistons come in after a buzzer beating win over Miami and they’re playing with complete confidence right now. This team is too good on both ends of the floor for Dallas and this figures to be a game where the Pistons control everything. Lay the points here.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kentucky -11

The Wildcats and Troy meet in the Round of 64 and this is a great spot on Kentucky. Troy won the Sun Belt as the 1 seed, but this team just doesn’t have the same physicality or firepower that Kentucky does. The Wildcats average 85.3 ppg and they are going to impose their will in the paint early in this game. They will wear down Troy and control the boards as this game goes on. Troy struggled with their length and size all year in the paint and they won’t have their typical advantage of speed in this matchup either. Grab Kentucky here and lay the points.

Friday 6* NCAAB ATS Play

Colorado State -2.5

The Rams are the move against the Tigers in the 12/5 matchup. Colorado State is one of the hottest teams in the NCAA right now as they’ve won 10 in a row and are rolling right now. They dominated the Mountain West Tournament as they gave up 56, 59, and 72 points in the wins. This team is built so well on both ends of the floor as they average 75.2 ppg, while giving up just 67.1. This will be a game where they put a ton of pressure on early. Memphis has been winning, but not covering, and they’ve made a living falling behind in games. That is something you simply cannot do against the Rams and they’ll expose that in this matchup. Back Colorado State.

Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Baylor +1.5

Baylor and Mississippi State meet in the 8/9 game on Friday and we’re getting a good line on Baylor. The Bears are a sneaky team and they’ve given some of the top teams in the nation issues throughout the year. They fell in the quarters to Texas Tech by just 2 as the Bears were seconds away from making the semis. Baylor gives up just 69.2 ppg and this defense is incredibly tough to crack. They play with such high intensity and pressure, they will make things difficult for this Bulldogs offense. Mississippi State limps into the postseason after dropping 5 of their last 7 and they’re trending downward. Back Baylor.

Friday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Lakers +3.5

Los Angeles and Milwaukee meet and this is a great spot on the Lakers. The Lakers are on a high after throttling the Nuggets as they’ve won 3 straight and are playing exceptionally well. Doncic finished with 31-9-7 as this offense is rolling with him leading the way. The Lakers catch the Bucks in the midst of a long west coast trip and that bodes well for a Lakers team that is clicking. We won’t see anyone benched with the back to back as the Lakers cannot afford to sit anyone with the injuries they have. Doncic will lead the way again and this is a great number to get on the home side.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

UC San Diego +3.5

UC San Diego is dancing for the first time and they are going to be a very tough draw for Michigan. While the Wolverines won the Big Ten, this team still has a lot of issues that they’ll run into here. The Wolverines have had some inconsistencies offensively this year and we saw that against Wisconsin despite their win. UC San Diego allowed just 61 ppg and they gave almost every team issues with their ability to control the boards and close out on shooters. This is an upset minded team and they’ll come out looking to make a statement.

Thursday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Drake +6.5

Drake and Missouri meet in the Round of 64 and we’re grabbing the points with Drake. This Drake Bulldogs team had just 3 losses this season and they were one of the best defensive teams in the entire nation all season. They gave up just 58.4 ppg this year and they allowed just 53, 50, and 48 points in all 3 wins of their conference tournament. Look for this game to be an absolute grind and for Drake to completely slow the tempo down. This is the kind of game they can frustrate the Tigers, who love to play much quicker. The Bulldogs are such a physical team and they’re going to wear down Missouri. Back Drake.

Thursday 6* NCAAB ATS Play

Yale +7.5

The champs out of the Ivy League meet with Texas A&M and there’s good value here on Yale with the points. This Yale team always tends to cause teams issues in the NCAA Tournament and the experience is going to be key here. Yale’s offense puts up over 81 ppg and they have a lot of weapons that can cause issues on the floor. They shoot the 3 at 39% and their ability to get out and run will cause A&M some issues. The Aggies were bounced by Texas in the SEC Tournament and they have no momentum coming into this game. Yale can match the physicality here. Grab the points. 

Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Gonzaga -6.5

Gonzaga and Georgia meet in the 8/9 game and we’re on the Zags. Gonzaga caught fire late in the season and ran through the WCC Tournament, looking like the Gonzaga of old. They can come at teams and score in flurries, which is going to be the difference here. Georgia doesn’t haven’t the fire power to keep up with the Gonzaga team that averages in the upper 80’s in ppg. What makes this Gonzaga team so good is while they play with a quick pace, they also play with a ton of pressure defensively. They’re giving up just 69.6 ppg and they are going to overwhelm Georgia on both ends of the floor. The value sits with Gonzaga.

Thursday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

VCU +3.5

VCU and BYU meet in the Round of 64 and there’s good value on VCU in this spot. The Rams are being undervalued in this spot as they ran through their conference tourney and finished the season with 28 wins. They allowed 63 points or less in all 3 wins during their tourney run and they are going to suffocate these BYU shooters. That’ll be difference in this game as the Rams can turn this game into a grind. The slower pace and half court style is going to have BYU off their rhythm and the Rams can frustrate the Cougars. This game will be close throughout with VCU having the edge on both ends of the floor.

Thursday *RARE* 10* NCAAB ATS TOP Play

Cavs -5

Cleveland is in a bounce back spot here as they've dropped back to back games. This is a great matchup for them to get themselves back on track as the Kings. Despite losing to LA last night, they're still 22-10 ATS on the road and 15-5-1 ATS against the West. The Kings continue to play without Sabonis and it's made them a completely different team. This is a game where Cleveland's offense should roll as the Kings have given up north of 120 in their last 4 games. Look for them to play with a ton of pace and really push the issue on this defense. Cleveland will look to make a statement early in this game. Back the Cavs.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets -1.5

Denver is the move against the Lakers on Wednesday. The Nuggets are going to be much more healthy in this game as both Jokic and Murray are expected to be back for this one. The Nuggets at full health are just so deep and they’ve owned the Lakers in the head to head matchup. They’re 2-1 this season against them and they’ve won 14 of the last 16 head to head games. With James still out, this is simply too much to overcome for the Lakers. Denver’s weapons will overwhelm this Lakers defense and we’ll see them really put an emphasis on creating open shooting lanes like they did in their win over Golden State last time out. Back Denver.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Texas +3.5

Texas is catching points here in the first four and there’s good value in this spot. The Longhorns finished the season out well with a win on the road at #25 Mississippi State and won 2 games in the SEC tournament over Vandy and A&M. They have a lot of confidence entering play this team is going to lean on their offense that scores nearly 79 ppg. They have playmakers both inside and out that will cause issues for Xavier, who allowed 89 points to Marquette in their quick Big East conference tournament exit. Look for Texas to make this a fast paced game, which will have Xavier on the heels defensively. The Longhorns tempo will be a problem for the Musketeers in a game where Texas covers and may even steal it outright. 

Wednesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

St. Joes -5

St. Joes clashes with UAB and were getting good value on this side. UAB’s defense is a major struggle and they were pushed around by a Memphis team and their pace in the AAC Championship. Joes is going to play with a similar style here and they will look to push the ball in transition against a defense that gives up nearly 77 ppg. St. Joes also went 8-1 at home in conference play and we’ve seen some of their best basketball inside this building. Look for them to overwhelm UAB from the start in what will be a lopsided game.

Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

North Carolina -4.5

You're going to see a team come out here in this game that has had to sit there for the last few days and listen to everyone say they don't belong. This is going to be such an inspired play from UNC on Tuesday in the First Four. They nearly made the finals of the ACC Tournament, but fell just short against Duke. This team is going to overwhelm the Aztecs, as they're averaging well over 80 ppg so far this season. UNC has the ability to score in flurries and they are one's who will attack the rim. That will open up shooting lanes as the Aztecs don't have the firepower to keep up here. Grab UNC.

Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Kent State +5

Kent State and St. Bonaventure meet in the opening round of the NIT and there is good value on the Golden Flashes. Kent State was on the unfortunate end of a couple missed shots late in their semi final game of hte MAC Tournament, but this team is going to take this opportunity and run with it of playing in the NIT. They got virtually nothing from their star player, VonCameron Davis, in the semi final game and he will look to come out and make a statement early here. The Bonnies will struggle against this defense, that is giving up just 68 ppg. Kent State will turn this into a grind and this game can go either way. Back Kent.

Tuesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Memphis +2.5

Memphis and Sacramento meet and this is a good spot on the Grizzlies here. The Kings are free falling and they're coming up with some key injuries as they wind down the 2nd half. Sabonis tweaked his hamstring again in what was the third straight loss for the Kings. They've lost their last 3 by 29, 26, and 17, as they continue to get blown out. Memphis is back to their old selves and they are going to push the tempo on this Kings defense that is reeling right now. Memphis has scored 120+ in 4 straight and they're averaging 122.3 ppg over their last 12 games. This is two teams just trending in opposite directions. Back Memphis.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -6.5

The Warriors are the move here as they take on the Knicks. The Knicks have played well this year, but when it comes to playing the top teams in the NBA, things have been a struggle. The Warriors are red hot, winners of 6 in a row which includes a win over these Knicks during the run. Golden State has scored 114 points or more in every game of this run and they’re going to have their way against with this Knicks defense. With Butler, the Warriors have just looked so different and better. They’re going to once again push the tempo on the Knicks and overwhelm them defensively. There’s good value with the Warriors laying the points.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Liberty -6

Liberty erased what was a double digit lead for a majority of the game in the Semi Finals and now they have great value here in the Championship game. This Liberty team is good top to bottom. They come in after putting up 81 points in both games of the conference tournament so far as they have the ability to score in flurries. These two teams split the season series, but Liberty was the far more consistent team through the season. This is going to be a game they pick the tempo up and they’re going to overwhelm Jax State. Look for them to wear out this defense as the game goes on in what will be one where they pull away. Back Liberty.

Saturday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Duke -5.5

Duke and Louisville meet and Duke is the move here. The Blue Devils have battled injuries, but that hasn’t stopped them from pushing through here to the title game. Duke will be without Flagg again, but that hasn’t stopped them from being able to create offensive success and they’re generating a lot of open looks still. This team is deep and they have plenty of weapons off the bench. Louisville doesn’t have the weapons to keep up and Duke will wear them out as this game goes on. The value sits with Duke on Saturday night as they’re the more experienced team in this spot.

Saturday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Michigan State -2.5

We’re on the Spartans here as they take on Wisconsin in the Big Ten Tournament. Michigan State is on quite a run as they have won and cashed 8 straight ATS coming into play. They dominated a good Oregon team in the quarterfinals as they continue to do just about everything right. The Spartans defeated the Badgers earlier this season and they have all the confidence right now coming into play. The Spartans also had little trouble on the road, going 8-2 on the year in true road spots. They deeper and better on both ends of the floor and this is a good value spot on them.

Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Jazz -2

Utah is the move as they take on Toronto on Friday night. Utah is just looking for some kind of momentum right now after dropping 7 in a row and seeing Toronto come into town will be a nice breath of fresh air for them. The Raptors have been a struggle this season and they've been unable to find it offensively at times. Averaging just 110.8 ppg, they have not had any sort of consistency. Utah is going to utilize their speed here and look to use their tempo to take advantage of the Raptors inability to score. We're getting good value on this line as Utah will have far more motivation on Friday night, at home. Back Utah.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Wolves -10

Minnesota and Orlando meet and this is a nice spot to fade the Magic. Minnesota is rolling right now offensively as they come in on a tear. They have put up 115+ points in 10 of their last 12 games and they're averaging 119 ppg during this latest stretch. Orlando simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up. They are averaging just 104.4 ppg themselves on the offensive end and it's been a struggle. Their inability to create open looks and finish at the rim has been costly in games. Minnesota plays far too quick and they're going to overwhelm the Magic defensively. Look for this game to be lopsided from the start where Orlando doesn't have much of an answer on either end of the floor.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Kent State -3.5

Kent State and Miami Ohio meet in the Semi Finals of the MAC Tournament and this is a good spot on Kent. The Golden Flashes have played exceptionally well down the stretch and they are in a nice revenge spot. They dropped both games to Miami this season, but they should have won a few weeks back in Oxford had it not been for a couple of late turnovers that sent the game into OT. Miami has not looked the same as they did earlier this season and Kent State's defense is going to be the difference. They force such tough shots and they will suffocate these Miami shooters. Kent State will turn this into a physical game and Miami will wear down as this one goes on. Back Kent.

Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

UCLA +1.5

UCLA and Wisconsin meet in the Big 10 Quarterfinals and we're getting a good number on UCLA. The Bruins defeated the Badgers by 2 in their latest meeting and they're going to lean on their defense here. UCLA is at their best when they can slow the game down and they'll look to turn this game into a grind. Over their last 10 games, they're giving up just 65 ppg and they have made things so difficult for opposing offenses. They've hit in 11 of their last 14 and they roll into play here with a lot of confidence. Look for them to set the tone early and they're going to frustrate the Badgers with their ability to slow the game down. The advantage sits with the Bruins.

Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Golden State -7

The Warriors and Kings meet and this is a good spot on Golden State. The Warriors blew out the Kings by 24 the last time these two teams met and they have looked like a completely different team with Jimmy Butler. They’ve won 10 of 11 with him and they are getting things done on both ends of the floor. The Kings meanwhile have covered just 2 of their last 7 road games and they have been a mess defensively. This will be a game where the Warriors push the tempo on them again and have them on their heels all night long. Lay the points.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Texas +6.5

The Longhorns and Aggies meet in Big 12 Tournament and this is too many points on Texas. Texas got a huge win over Vandy on Wednesday and they’re still considered on the bubble right now. A win over A&M would surely get them on the right side of things and they’re going to come out with a ton of momentum from yesterday. They allowed a late flurry of free throws in the game against Vandy, but overall it was the defense that made the ultimate difference. They held Vandy to just 3 of 19 from behind the arc and that’ll be the goal again with their smothering defense. Look for them to lean on their high pressure defense in a game they will have their chances to steal. They split the meetings with A&M during the season and can use that as a confidence builder here. Back Texas.

Thursday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Celtics -3

The Celtics and OKC meet in the marquee matchup of the day on ESPN and Boston is the move at home. The Celtics are so tough just in general, but at home they're even harder to defeat. They come in winners of 5 in a row and they have allowed 108 points or less in 4 of those wins. While their offense gets the attention, they are typically one of the better defensive teams in the league. They give up just 108.2 ppg and they will frustrate opposing offenses. Look for them to pick up the intensity even more here as they look to send a message to the top team in the west. Back Boston.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

LSU +9

LSU meets with Mississippi State and we're getting good value on the Tigers. The Bulldogs lost 4 of their last 5 and limp into play here with little confidence after their hot start to the season. They struggled mightily down the stretch of the season with their defense, allowing 93, 111, 87, and 93 in the 4 losses. That will be a struggle here against LSU who will look to win the battle in the paint. They can frustrate this defense and crash the boards, that will give them some 2nd chances at the rim on misses. Look for this game to be a grind and close throughout.

Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Ohio State -4.5

The Buckeyes are in desperate need of a win as they sit on the bubble prior to taking on an Iowa Wednesday afternoon. The Buckeyes sit with 17 wins and they’ll likely need a few wins in the Big Ten Tourney to get themselves on the right side. They matchup well with Iowa, who they beat by 17 earlier this season. The Hawkeyes were one of the worst in the conference defensively, giving up over 82 ppg. The Buckeyes will pick this defense apart and put an emphasis on getting out in transition. Iowa allows far too many open looks and this is a matchup where they’ll struggle with the Bucks speed. Back Ohio State.

Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

South Carolina +4.5

The Gamecocks meet with Arkansas and this is too many points in this spot. South Carolian defeated Arkansas just recently on 3/1 and they are going to use that here as a huge boost for them. They can matchup with the Razorbacks, who gave up nearly 75 ppg this season in conference play. The Gamecock are a streaky team shooting wise and they can find some open lanes against this defense. Look for them to attack in transition and it should open up a lot of good look for their outside threats. This is a closer matchup and a good situational spot for South Carolina.

Wednesday 6* NCAAB ATS Play

Virginia +1.5

Virginia is the move as they take on Georgia Tech in the ACC Tournament. The Cavaliers finished the regular season going 2-2 with a couple impressive wins over Wake and Florida State. They played their best basketball in the 2nd half of the season which included a win over Georgia Tech 75-61 back on 2/8. This is a great matchup for them given how inconsistent the Yellow Jackets are. Ga Tech was held to just 43 points in their finale against Wake and they are going to see a ton of relentless pressure from this Cavaliers defense. Look for that to be the difference as the value sits with Virginia.

Wednesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Albany +10

Albany and Bryant meet in the American East tourney and there’s good value on Albany grabbing the points. They gave Bryant everything they could handle this season in both matchups that saw these two teams split. Albany went on the road and beat Bryant by 5, while dropping at home by 10. They allowed just 66 points in the quarterfinals and they’ll lean heavily on their defense. Look for this game to be played at their pace and it should have Bryant out of rhythm. Albany can keep this close and they’ll come in with confidence knowing they’ve already beat Bryant once. Back Albany.

Tuesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Pistons -14.5

Detroit and Washington meet and this is a good spot on the Pistons laying the point. The Wizards for starters are just one of the worst defensively. They give up nearly 121 ppg and they haven't slowed anyone down this season. Their inability to stop teams in transition has been atrocious and they continue to give up many easy looks at the rim. Detroit has been one of the surprises in the NBA this season as they sit 6th in the east. They're the complete opposite defensively, allowing just 113 ppg and they love to swarm to the ball. This is a complete mismatch on both ends of the court. Back the Pistons.

Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play

TCU -1.5

TCU and Colorado meet in a quick turnaround after playing just a few days ago. We’re on TCU, who will have far more focus and come out with much more aggression than they did in Colorado. The Horned Frogs have had success here in the Big 12 tourney, as they’ve won a game in each of the last 3 years. The Horned Frogs have given some top teams in the conference issues and that’ll help them here. They are 9-2 in close games decided by 5 points or less and they will be much more physical in this matchup. Back TCU.

Tuesday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Cincinnati -5.5

The Bearcats have value as they open tourney play with Oklahoma State. The Bearcats just fell in Oklahoma State in the final game of the season and this quick turnaround will work to their advantage. The Cowboys were abysmal all season long as they were outscore on average this season 77.0-69.4. Cincinnati is much more physical and they will control the paint on both ends of the floor. Look for them to wear down the Cowboys and put them in an early hole that’ll be too tough to dig out of. Grab the Bearcats.

Tuesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Cleveland State -2

The Vikings and Penguin meet in the Semi Finals of the Horizon League and we're getting a good number on CSU. Cleveland State and YSU split the regular season matchups, but the Vikings are still the more well rounded team. YSU is also dealing with the absence of EJ Farmer, who is averaging 15.1 ppg. He didn't dress for the Quarterfinals and even if he does play here, he won't be nearly at 100%. Cleveland State is one of the best at forcing turnovers, as they led the conference with 15.5 per game against their opponents. The Vikings defense was the difference in their Quarterfinal against NKU and they're going to pick up the intensity even more here. Back Cleveland State.

Monday 9* NCAAB ATS Play

Houston -4.5

The Rockets lay a small number and have the value here at home against the Magic. Orlando comes in 5 games under .500 and they just haven't had any sort of consistency as they come in losers in 5 of their last 6. Averaging just 104.6 ppg, they haven't been able to find any sort of groove and injuries have piled up on them at times this year. That won't bode well going into a game against Houston, who just put up 146 points in a win over the Pelicans last time out. Houston is much more well rounded on both ends of the floor and they're going to control a lot here on Monday. Back Houston.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nets +6.5

The Nets catch points against the Lakers and this is a good value spot on them. Lebron James will be out a few weeks with a groin injury and that has put a bit of a damper on the run the Lakers were on. Over the last month, Brooklyn has given some of the top teams in the league issues and this is a case where they catch the Lakers at the right time. Brooklyn is a younger team and they are going to have the advantage with their speed. They love to get out and run and they will wear down this Lakers side that is dealing with injuries. Luka Doncic will be in the lineup, but he has also dealt with injuries all season and isn't 100%. This is a great spot for the Nets to keep this close.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Furman -1.5

Furman is the move here as they take on Wofford on Monday. Furman is playing some of their best basketball right now as they got hot down the stretch of the season. They have wins over some of the top teams in the conference, which includes one against Wofford down the final games of the regular season. Furman took down the top seed in their Semi Final game and they're going to overwhelm Wofford with their defense. Only allowing 69.0 ppg, they will suffocate these shooters and not give up any easy look. There is good value here on Furman.

Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play

Montana -5.5

Montana has the value laying the point in the Big Sky Tournament on Sunday night. Montana rolls in winning 11 of their last 12 games and they took both games during the regular season against NAU. They are going to lean heavily on their defense as they gave up just 72 ppg in conference play. They are at their best when they can force turnovers and turn those into easy transition buckets. This team can beat you with both their inside presence and ability to open shooting lanes for their outside threats. They will control the paint on both ends of the floor and it should lead to some easy looks at the rim for them. Lay the points.

Sunday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Pistons -2.5

Detroit is the move as they lay a small number against Portland. Portland has dropped 3 of their last 4 and this is going to be a tough next two days for them. They have to deal with a scrappy Pistons team while knowing a trip to Golden State is on the horizon tomorrow. Detroit has caused a lot of issues for teams with their defensive play that is giving up just 113.1 ppg. Detroit will force turnovers and difficult shots, making things incredibly tough for Portland all night long. Detroit won the first meeting of this season series and they are just the more complete team. Back Detroit.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Nebraska-Omaha +4

Omaha and St. Thomas meet in the Summit League Championship and this is a good spot on Omaha catching points. It's a bit of an odd scenario as St. Thomas is ineligible for the NCAA Tournament because of their status of coming into D-1, which automatically gives Omaha the bid to the tourney. Omaha is going to come out and look to prove a point here still as they'll want a conference championship. They're rolling right now, winning 3 straight which includes an 80-57 win in the semis. This team loves to push the tempo and they will be able to match the speed that St. Thomas brings. They put up 84.2 ppg in conference play and they split the season series with St. Thomas. Grab the points in a game that will be back and forth all night long.  

Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play
