08-17-20 | 76ers v. Celtics -5.5 | 101-109 | Win | 100 | 17 h 4 m | Show | |
76ERS VS CELTICS NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER I like the third-seeded Boston Celtics to open this best-of-seven series against the No. 6 Philadelphia 76ers with a commanding win. The Sixers will have to do without All-Star guard Ben Simmons will miss the playoffs following knee surgery, and who knows for how long Joel Embiid can stay healthy. Philadelphia went 3-1 SU and ATS against the Celtics during the regular season, but that was with a healthy Simmons. I think the Celtics are underrated. While they may not have an absolute superstar, their roster depth is impressive to say the least. Additionally, while Boston is listed as a home team, this obviously plays more like an away game for both teams and Celtics own a far superior road record compared to the Sixers this season. 8* play on Boston Celtics. |

08-15-20 | Grizzlies v. Blazers -5.5 | Top | 122-126 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - TOP RATED MAJOR WAGER The Memphis Grizzlies are just 2-6 in Orlando and only barely made the play-in tournament with a 119-106 win over Milwaukee in the last regular-season game. They'll face a red hot Portland side that has won six of eight, and while Memphis defeated Portland in the first round of games in the bubble back on July 31, I don't think it'll stand much of a chance here. The Blazers are firing on all cylinders, and the Grizzlies do not have any player that can match the output of Damian Lillard who has been absolutely outstanding in recent games. Trail Blazers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. Grizzlies are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers -5.5. |

08-13-20 | Mavs v. Suns -7 | Top | 102-128 | Win | 100 | 6 h 9 m | Show |
THURSDAY AFTERNOON NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY TESTS 7-3 RUN The red hot Phoenix Suns have won seven straight games in the Orlando bubble. They need an eighth straight and a loss for either Portland and Memphis to earn a spot in the play-in game. Memphis plays before Phoenix while Portland plays the last game, so even if Memphis wins its game, Phoenix will still have every reason in the world to win this one and hope that the Blazers lose later. The Mavs on the other hand are locked into the seventh seed in the Western Conference playoffs and I would not be surprised if they give their key pieces the night off here to stay healthy and fresh for the postseason. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
08-11-20 | Blazers -2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 134-131 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
BLAZERS VS MAVS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The Portland Trail Blazers will be playing their third game in four nights. As they're battling for one of the two play-in game spots they have no other option than to go all-in every night though, and I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to beat Dallas. The Mavs are coming off a 136-132 OT win over Milwaukee, but they have dropped three of five in the Orlando bubble and while Dallas has a chance of the No. 5 seed in the West, in reality, it wouldn't change much. At this point in the season motivation means almost everything, and that gives Portland the edge in this contest. 10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

08-11-20 | Celtics v. Grizzlies +4.5 | 122-107 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
CELTICS VS GRIZZLIES NBA BANKROLL BUILDER The Memphis Grizzlies have won just one of six games in the Orlando bubble. They are not at risk of losing out of the No. 8 seed and might lose out on a play-in game spot altogether with Portland, Phoenix and San Antonio threatening behind. Boston has the No. 3 seed in the East locked up, and after winning three straight games I would not be the least surprised if the Celtics come out flat in this one. 8* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |
|||||||
08-10-20 | Thunder v. Suns -5 | Top | 101-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
MONDAY AFTERNOON NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The Phoenix Suns are the only undefeated team in the NBA bubble with five straight wins. They almost certainly have to win their remaining three contests to have any shot of making a play-in game, and I think they'll keep rolling here when taking on Oklahoma City Monday night. The Thunder are in a dogfight with Houston and Utah for the 4-6 seeds in the West, but note that they have traded wins and losses through their five games in the bubble. With OKC coming off a 121-103 win over Washington on Sunday, I think they'll come out flat here playing on no rest. 10* play on Phoenix Suns. |
|||||||
08-09-20 | Rockets -5 v. Kings | Top | 129-112 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
ROCKETS VS KINGS SUNDAY NIGHT NBA TOP PLAY The Sacramento Kings have dropped four of five games in the bubble and their chances of making the playoffs are now slim to none. They've been atrocious on the defensive end which will spell trouble against a Houston team that ranks second in the league for points per game. The Rockets are 3-1 in the bubble and still have plenty of motivation to keep racking up wins as they are jostling for the 3-6 seeds in the West. Russell Westbrook and Eric Gordon have been ruled out, but Harden shouldn't need much help to put the Kings away. 10* play on Houston Rockets. |
|||||||
08-08-20 | Clippers v. Blazers +4.5 | Top | 122-117 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 18 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY CLIPPERS VS BLAZERS BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The Portland Trail Blazers have been playing well in the bubble, winning three of four outright while compiling a 3-0-1 ATS record. The Blazers are still on the outside looking in on postseason play in 2020 and must keep pushing the pedal to the metal as long as they can. As for the LA Clippers, they have alternated wins and losses through their first four games in Orlando. With a playoff spot already locked up, this is not surprising considering the Clippers situation. They don't want to push their key pieces too much, risking fatigue/injuries but also want to see enough effort to keep the momentum for the playoffs. Last time out they put a 126-11 beating on Dallas. The Clippers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games following a straight-up win of more than 10 points and I would not be surprised if they came out a bit flat in this one. 10* play on Portland +4.5. |
|||||||
08-07-20 | Thunder -3.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 92-121 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 54 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA) - TOP RATED MAJOR WAGER ATS The Memphis Grizzlies are slumping at the worst possible time and have yet to win a game in the NBA bubble. With four games to play, they are now only ½ game ahead of Portland for the No. 8 seed in the West and will face three title contenders from the East on deck following this contest. The demoralized Grizzlies can't like their chances of making the postseason, and I think their slump will continue here against a hot Oklahoma City Thunder team beat the LA Lakers last time out. While OKC is already guaranteed to make the playoffs, it is still battling Utah and Houston for the 4th seed in the West. They have won two of three in Orlando (could easily be 3-0) and I'm more than happy to take the better team with positive momentum to cover the small spread as a favorite. Thunder are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Grizzlies are 0-4 ATS in their four games in the bubble. 10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |

08-07-20 | Jazz v. Spurs -1.5 | 111-119 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY JAZZ VS SPURS NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Reports suggest that Utah's Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Royce O'Neale and Rudy Gobert will not be available for Friday's game against the Spurs. They'll play a San Antonio team that more or less has to win out to have any chance of making the playoffs. I like the motivated Spurs to beat Utah's backups. 8* play on San Antonio Spurs. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Lakers v. Rockets +2 | 97-113 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT ROCKETS VS LAKERS BOOKIE BLA$TER The Los Angeles Lakers will be playing on no rest after taking a 105-86 loss to the OKC Thunder on Wednesday. Both Lebron James and Anthony Davis logged about 30 minutes each, and with the top seed in the West already clinched I would not be surprised to see the Lakers manage their key players' minutes and rest several regulars in this one. The Rockets are coming off a loss to Portland and I expect them to be eager to bounce back fast and hard. 8* play on Houston Rockets. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Blazers -3 v. Nuggets | 125-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 18 m | Show | |
BLAZERS VS NUGGETS THURSDAY NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER This looks like a potential flat spot for the shorthanded Denver Nuggets who will be playing on back-to-back nights and coming off a pair of victories. The Portland Trail Blazers have had a day off since a meriting 110-102 win over Houston and the team is 2-1 SU (2-0-1 ATS) in the NBA bubble. The Blazers are still very much in desperation mode as they try to hunt down the slumping Memphis Grizzlies for the No. 8 seed in the west. The Nuggets are likely to be without the services of Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, and Will Barton for a fourth straight game and their bench must be running out of steam. 8* play on Portland -3. |
|||||||
08-06-20 | Clippers -4 v. Mavs | 126-111 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
CLIPPERS VS MAVS BASKET BRAWLER Both the Los Angeles Clippers and the Dallas Mavericks have dropped two of three in the bubble. Neither side has all that much to play for during the remaining of the regular season and staying healthy is the No. 1 priority. This comes down to which team wants it the most looking to build some momentum for the playoffs. I expect the Clippers to show more purpose coming off a loss to the Suns while Dallas is coming off a 114-110 comeback victory over the Sacramento Kings. Additionally, Dallas' defense is just atrocious at times while LA's D is truly elite. The Mavs rely heavily on making their shots, but the team is in big trouble if they're having a bad day on the offensive end. Clippers are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up loss. Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. 8* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
08-05-20 | Nuggets v. Spurs +3.5 | Top | 132-126 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 10 m | Show |
NUGGETS VS SPURS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER TOP PLAY The San Antonio Spurs are making a serious push for the playoffs and had won back-to-back games in the NBA bubble prior to a 132-130 loss to the 76ers last time out. This Spurs team is scrappier than most people thought, and I think they'll give the Denver Nuggets all they can handle in this matchup. Denver is banged up and pretty much just looking to get out of the regular season as healthy as possible. The Nuggets did bounce back to defeat OKC in OT last time out after losing their first game in the bubble to Miami, but I just don't see them caring much about this contest, particularly considering how shorthanded they are. Note that Will Barton and Gary Harris have both already been ruled out for Wednesday’s game, while Jamal Murray is questionable. Look for a healthier and more motivated Spurs team to at the very least cover the spread and possibly win outright. 10* play on San Antonio Spurs. |
|||||||
08-05-20 | Grizzlies v. Jazz -5 | 115-124 | Win | 100 | 5 h 44 m | Show | |
EARLY GRIZZLIES VS JAZZ NBA DAYTIME DESTROYER Both the Memphis Grizzlies and the Utah Jazz are winless SU and ATS in the bubble. I like the Jazz to be the team to end their skid here Wednesday afternoon. Utah is coming off an encouraging performance against the Lakers, where they kept pace with them for most of the game. The Grizzlies on the other hand have not shown nearly the urgency you expect from a team currently outside the playoff spots in their back-to-back losses to San Antonio and New Orleans. I expect Utah's talent and superior defense to get the job done. 8* play on Utah Jazz -5. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -4 | Top | 99-109 | Win | 100 | 19 h 46 m | Show |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The New Orleans Pelicans have had a day of rest and contemplation since taking a 126-103 beating by the Clippers in their first match in the NBA Bubble on Saturday. I like them to come back with a vengeance, facing a Memphis team that will be playing on no rest after scrapping with the Spurs on Sunday. While Memphis has a strong ATS record on no days rest, playing on no rest without being up to speed this early following the long hiatus is a tough ask. I'm happy to take the fresher legs in this contest. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |
|||||||
08-03-20 | Nuggets v. Thunder -6 | 121-113 | Loss | -115 | 3 h 21 m | Show | |
NUGGETS VS THUNDER NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER NUGGETS VS THUNDER NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER A shorthanded Denver Nuggets team took a 125-105 loss to Miami in their first game in the NBA bubble. They were without three starters as Will Barton, Gary Harris and Jamal Murray all missed that contest. Barton and Harris are out for this one while Murray is questionable. I think the banged up Nuggets will come up short again, this time against the Thunder who looked sharp in their 110-94 win over the Utah Jazz on Saturday. 8* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. |
|||||||
08-02-20 | Kings +2.5 v. Magic | Top | 116-132 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 20 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - KINGS @ MAGIC MAJOR WAGER TOP PLAY Here we have a nice motivational advantage for the Sacramento Kings who are near desperation mode after opening the two-week seeding restart with a 129-120 loss to the Spurs. The Kings in a dogfight for the No.8 seed in the West, and with so many teams involved they can't afford to drop many games to at the very least position themselves for a play-in game. The Orlando Magic are in a much better situation in the East, sitting seventh and with a 6.5 game gap down to No. 9 Washington. Additionally, they are in a potential flat spot following a 128-118 win over Brooklyn. Kings are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings with Orlando. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
08-01-20 | Heat v. Nuggets +1 | Top | 125-105 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 31 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY HEAT VS NUGGETS BOOKIE BREAKER TOP PLAY The Denver Nuggets defeated the Heat 109-89 back in November. While that might as well have been a lifetime ago, I still think they have an edge here in the two teams' first game back since the Covid-19 pandemic put the NBA season on hold. Admittedly, the Heat have an advantage on the perimeter but the Nuggets should dominate the interior. Backing a team relying on its sharpshooting following an extended hiatus is a risky business, and I'm counting on the Nuggets to grind down their opponent with their size and squad depth in this one. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Kings -3 v. Spurs | Top | 120-129 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 3 m | Show |
KINGS VS SPURS FRIDAY NIGHT NBA TOP PLAY This looks like a good spot to back the Sacramento Kings who sit 3.5 games out of the No. 8 seed in the West, 1.5 games ahead of the Spurs. San Antonio will have to do without power forward LaMarcus Aldridge down the stretch as he has undergone season-ending shoulder surgery, and I would not be surprised to see the Spurs tanking. Spurs have been one of the worst teams in the NBA so far with a 25-37-1 ATS record. I'm happy to roll with the Kings in this one. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |
|||||||
07-31-20 | Magic -4.5 v. Nets | 128-118 | Win | 100 | 558 h 11 m | Show | |
NBA BOOKIE BA$HER - JULY 31 MATCHUP I like the Orlando Magic to win and cover the spread when they take on the Brooklyn Nets in their first game back from the hiatus. The Nets will be short on bodies as Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant won’t be back for the rest of the season while DeAndre Jordan has been ruled out following a positive COVID-19 test. Additionally, the Magic should also have a small edge playing in their hometown as they'll be more accustomed to the surroundings etc. Magic are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on Orlando Magic. |

03-11-20 | Kansas State v. TCU -1.5 | 53-49 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT BIG 12 TOURNAMENT BOOKIE BLASTER The TCU Horned Frogs will take on the Kansas State Wildcats in the Big 12 tournament Wednesday night, and I like the Horned Frogs to get the job done in this one. While Kansas State is coming off a 79-61 triumph over Iowa State in their regular-season finale, note that it had dropped 10 consecutive games prior to that. The Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win, 0-6 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games, and here they'll face a TCU team that has defeated them comfortably twice already this season. 8* play on TCU Horned Frogs. |

03-11-20 | Hornets +9.5 v. Heat | 109-98 | Win | 100 | 11 h 45 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - HORNETS @ HEAT The Charlotte Hornets are 7.5 games off a playoff spot, but that doesn't mean that they've stopped competing. The Hornets are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games following an OT loss at Atlanta Monday night, and I like them to keep this within double-digits. While the Miami Heat are phenomenal home at American Airlines Arena, note that they're coming off a 100-89 triumph at Washington and they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. With the Hornets feisty against the spread run and the Heat in a letdown spot, taking the points on the visitors is a no brainer to me. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |
|||||||
03-11-20 | Knicks v. Hawks -4.5 | Top | 136-131 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 51 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Hawks are 20-12 ATS in all home games on the season and 5-2 SU and ATS as home favorites, including a 140-135 win over the Knicks on Feb 9. They've had a day off since defeating Charlotte in double overtime on Monday while the New York Knicks were in action last night when they took a 122-115 loss at Washington. The Knicks are 2-7 ATS when playing on back-to-back nights this season and 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog. I don't think the visitors will stand much of a chance in this one. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |
|||||||
03-10-20 | Howard +6 v. South Carolina State | 70-63 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
TUESDAY NIGHT CBB BANKROLL BUILDER The Howard Bison have won just three games all season and they took a 100-88 loss to Delaware State last time out. They're however 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home and I like them to keep it within the number as an underdog against South Carolina State in the MEAC Tournament Tuesday night. The Bulldogs are coming off five straight defeats, and they're just 2-6 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Additionally, note that the last three meetings have gone to overtime, most recently a 101-95 South Carolina State win back in January. 8* play on Howard Bison. |
|||||||
03-10-20 | Wolves +12.5 v. Rockets | 111-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
NBA NO BRAINER - $20 TUESDAY SPECIAL The Minnesota Timberwolves own the second-worst record in the Western Conference and they've lost their last two games by an average of 13.5 points, but I like their chances of covering the number when visiting a slumping Houston team Tuesday night. The dysfunctional Rockets are not in a position to lay double-digits against any team in the league at the moment, coming off four straight defeats, most recently a 20-point loss to Orlando. Minnesota may struggle big time on the defensive end, but note that it has the 9th best scoring average in the league and Houston has found it hard to run up the score in recent games. 8* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

03-09-20 | St. Mary's v. BYU -4 | Top | 51-50 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The St. Mary's Gaels and the BYU Cougars have split two close games this season, but I like BYU to win and cover the spread in this West Coast Conference Tournament semifinal matchup in Las Vegas Monday night. The Gaels needed double-overtime to get past Pepperdine on Saturday while BYU put an 81-64 beating on that same Pepperdine team last time out on Feb 29. BYU should have plenty of energy saved up for this one while heavy legs could become an issue for the Gaels. The Gaels are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games overall and 5-13 ATS in their last 18 games as an underdog while the Cougars are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games as a favorite. 10* play on BYU. |

03-09-20 | Bucks v. Nuggets -5.5 | 95-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA NO BRAINER The Milwaukee Bucks own the best record in the league, but they travel to Denver as losers of two in a row and three of their last four. They took a 140-131 loss at Phoenix on Sunday, and I think they'll struggle here in the second leg of a back-to-back situation and to make things worse, the Bucks will have to do without MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee). As for the Nuggets, while they've split their last six games, they've had a day of rest compared to their opponent and they're 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as a home favorite. Additionally, the Nuggets are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 Monday games and 13-6-1 in the last 20 meetings with the Bucks at Pepsi Center. 8* play on Denver Nuggets. |

03-08-20 | Heat -4.5 v. Wizards | 100-89 | Win | 100 | 21 h 42 m | Show | |
HEAT @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BLASTER The Miami Heat fell to 13-19 on the road with a 110-104 loss at New Orleans Friday night. They're 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 games following a straight up loss and I like their chances of picking up a road win at Washinton on Sunday. At only 15-15 home at Capital One Arena, the Wizards have struggled to make the most of any homecourt advantage. Last time out Washington defeated Atlanta by six points, but it is just 1-4-1 ATS in its last six games following a straight up win. The Heat are 25-9-2 ATS in the last 36 meetings in the nation's capital; expect more success this Sunday. 8* play on Miami Heat. |

GAME OF THE YEAR (NBA) - TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Houston Rockets have dropped three straight games following a nine-point loss as an 8.5-point favorite at Charlotte on Saturday. They're just 1-5 ATS in their last six games playing on zero days rest, and I think they're asked to cover way too many points in this matchup with Orlando. The Magic put a 132-118 beating on Minnesota last time out and they need all wins they can get as they're trying to hold on to a playoff spot in the East. Magic are 14-6 ATS in the last 20 meetings. Magic are 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Houston. 10* play on Orlando Magic. |

03-08-20 | Connecticut -6.5 v. Tulane | Top | 80-76 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
TOP RATED NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY I like the Connecticut Huskies to come through as a favorite over the Tulane Green Wave in their AAC regular-season finale on Sunday. The Green Wave sit dead last in the conference at 4-13 while Connecticut owns a decent 9-8 record. The Huskies have closed out the season on fire, coming off four straight wins including a 77-71 upset win over Houston last time out. They've scored an average of 80 ppg during that winning streak while Tulane's offense is one of the worst in the nation with just 68.1 ppg on average throughout the season. While Connecticut was in action just three days ago, Tulane last played on Feb 29, a 74-67 OT loss to Memphis. I would not be surprised if the home team might take a while to get up to speed again, and by that time the Huskies should have already built up a sizable lead. UConn won the first matchup this year in Storrs 67-61, and I expect an even larger victory margin in this one. 10* play on Connecticut. |

03-07-20 | UC-Davis +4.5 v. Cal-Riverside | 61-66 | Loss | -108 | 21 h 32 m | Show | |
SUPER LATE BIG WEST BOOKIE BLASTER - 10 PM ET START *BAILOUT PLAY* The UC Davis Aggies have failed to cover the spread in each of their last three games, but they're 13-2 ATS in their last 15 as underdogs and I think they'll keep it within the number in this Big West matchup with UC Riverside Saturday night. The Highlanders are playing tremendous defense, but they do not put a ton of points on the board themselves and just like the Aggies, they tend to do better against the spread when catching points. Additionally, we can note that the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings between these two teams. 8* play on UC-Davis. |

03-07-20 | UCLA +4 v. USC | Top | 52-54 | Win | 100 | 14 h 29 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED PAC-12 SIDE The red hot UCLA Bruins head into this contest riding a seven-game winning streak and they're 5-1-1 ATS during that stretch and winning four of those seven straight up as underdogs. On the season, the Bruins are 8-4 ATS as an underdog and I think they'll keep it close here in this Pac-12 matchup with the USC Trojans. Note that at 12-5, UCLA is battling Oregon for the Pac-12 title while USC is "only" 10-7 in conference play. The Trojans are coming off back-to-back wins, but they had lost two consecutive games prior to the current winning streak and they're 9-8 ATS as a favorite this season. 10* play on UCLA Bruins. |

TGIF MVC TOURNAMENT *TOP PLAY* The Missouri State Bears have covered the spread in seven of their last eight overall, the lone exception a blowout loss at Valparaiso. Last time out they put an 84-59 beating on Southern Illinois and they're 9-0 ATS after allowing 60 points or fewer this season. As for Indiana State, while the team is coming off four straight wins (3-0-1 ATS), note that it took a 71-58 loss to Missouri State in the last meeting on Feb 16. I like the Bears to come through in this Missouri Valley Conference quarterfinal matchup. 10* play on Missouri State. |

03-06-20 | Magic -2 v. Wolves | Top | 132-118 | Win | 100 | 15 h 48 m | Show |
MAGIC @ WOLVES TGIF *TOP PLAY* The Orlando Magic will be looking to put an end to a three-game losing streak when visiting Minnesota Friday night. They've covered the number in five of their last six games overall and they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road favorite. They'll face a Timberwolves team that is just 8-22 SU home at Target Center and 1-6 ATS in its last seven games as a home underdog. Unlike Orlando who is currently holding down the No. 8 seed in the East, the Wolves season is all but over already, and I like the visitors to come through in this one. 10* play on Orlando Magic. |

03-05-20 | Raptors -10.5 v. Warriors | Top | 121-113 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 44 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT RAPTORS @ WARRIORS *TOP PLAY* This looks like a good spot to back the Toronto Raptors who will be looking to build on the momentum of a 123-114 win at Phoenix. The triumph put an end to a three-game losing streak for the Raptors, and they need to go on a run to keep the other contenders at bay at the top of the division. As for the Golden State Warriors, while they've won two of their last three, the team they put on the floor those days lacks talent. Big letdown spot for the Warriors in this one following a 16-point win over Denver, and we can note that Golden State is just 4-8 ATS off an upset win as an underdog and 11-19 ATS in all home games this season. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. |

03-04-20 | Wizards +7.5 v. Blazers | Top | 104-125 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA) - TOP RATED SIDE *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Washington Wizards took a 133-126 loss at Sacramento last night. They're however 7-1 ATS in the second leg of a back-to-back set this season, and I think they're catching way too many points here against a Portland team that is 2-6 ATS in its last eight overall. Additionally, note that while the Blazers are coming off a 23-point win at Orlando, they're just 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Washington Wizards. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Jacksonville +9.5 v. North Florida | 88-91 | Win | 100 | 14 h 27 m | Show | |
ASUN TOURNEY BOOKIE BLASTER The Jacksonville Dolphins have won four of their last six away from home. They are 9-6 ATS on the road this season and won 53-52 at Stetson last time out. I think they'll put up a good fight here in the Atlantic Sun Tournament matchup with North Florida. The Osprey have been money against the spread all season (8-1 ATS in their last nine) but considering that Jacksonville is allowing just 65.9 ppg, covering a double-digit spread could prove to be a tougher task than they might expect. 8* play on Jacksonville. |
|||||||
03-02-20 | Pacers -2.5 v. Spurs | 116-111 | Win | 100 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
LATE PACERS @ SPURS BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Pacers are 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite and 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings with the Spurs (5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in San Antonio). As for the Spurs, they're 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. They had to do without forward LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) last time out and he's considered day-to-day. With or without Aldridge, I don't see the Spurs keeping pace with the Pacers in this one. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. |
|||||||
03-02-20 | Rockets -9 v. Knicks | 123-125 | Loss | -113 | 18 h 23 m | Show | |
MONDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BLASTER The Houston Rockets had to fight hard to get past the Celtics at Boston on Saturday, but I think they're in for a much easier ride when visiting the Knicks at Madison Square Garden tonight. The Knicks are in a potential flat spot after ending a six-game slide with a 10-point win over Chicago last time out. They're just 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and the Rockets are a dominant 8-1 ATS in the last nine head-to-head meetings in New York. 8* play on Houston Rockets. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Lakers -2.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): TOP RATED SUNDAY NIGHT SIDE *MAJOR WAGER* This looks like a great spot to back an angry LA Lakers team who will be looking for a quick bounce back following a 105-88 loss to Memphis on Saturday. They face a Pelicans team that has won six of its last eight straight-up (5-3 ATS), but none of those games were against a team like the Lakers. There is a risk that LeBron James will get the night off in the second game of a back-to-back, but note that the Lakers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Bucks -12.5 v. Hornets | 93-85 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 14 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY BUCKS @ HORNETS BOOKIE BLASTER The Milwaukee Bucks demolished Oklahoma City Thunger by 47 points last time out. I don't think they'll have let down game, but instead take care of the Charlotte Hornets rather comfortably Sunday afternoon. If anything, this is a potential flat spot for Charlotte following an upset win at Toronto. The Hornets have covered the spread in five of their last seven overall but they're just 6-15 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season while the Bucks are a solid 22-13 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record (the Bucks are a red hot 9-2 ATS in their last 11 overall). The Bucks have won the first meetings of the eseason by 41 points and 14 points respectively. I don't see why this time around would be any different. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
02-29-20 | Mississippi Valley State +17 v. Jackson State | 70-87 | Push | 0 | 13 h 11 m | Show | |
NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER I think the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils are catching too many points to pass up on when they visit the Jackson State Tigers Saturday night. The Tigers are just 5-9 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record, and with their next game in just a couple of days I think they'll take this opportunity to give key players some rest once they've built up a decent lead. 8* play on Mississippi Valley State. |
|||||||
02-29-20 | DePaul v. Butler -8 | Top | 42-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 54 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Butler Bulldogs are heading into the weekend off three consecutive losses, but I like their chances of not only winning straight up but also covering the number in this matchup with DePaul. This is a big bounce back spot for Butler who took an 81-59 beating at No. 11 Creighton last time out and it'll also look to avenge a 13-point loss at DePaul last month. The Blue Demons have won just two Big East games all season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last six games. 10* play on Butler. |
|||||||
02-29-20 | Providence +8 v. Villanova | 58-54 | Win | 100 | 3 h 37 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY PROVIDENCE @ VILLANOVA BOOKIE BLASTER This looks like a good spot to fade the 12th-ranked Villanova Wildcats who are in a look ahead spot with conference-leading Seton Hall on deck. The Providence Friars are a very capable team and they must have all the confidence in the world after reeling off three straight upset wins, defeating Seton Hall, Georgetown and Marquette. Wildcats are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. Friars are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 8* play on Providence. |
|||||||
02-28-20 | Georgia Southern +5.5 v. Georgia State | Top | 79-70 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show |
FRIDAY NIGHT SUN BELT BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Georgia Southern Eagles have won four of their last six games and put an 81-61 beating on Utah as a 5-point road underdog last time out. They average a healthy 75.1 ppg on the season, and I like them to keep even pace with the Georgia State Panthers in this one. Georgia State is coming off back-to-back road losses SU and ATS, and while it won by five points at Georgia Southern last month, note that it was losing straight up for most of the game and only managed to pull away late. 10* play on Georgia Southern. |
|||||||
02-27-20 | Illinois -6.5 v. Northwestern | Top | 74-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 52 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Northwestern Wildcats are just 4-10 SU (3-11 ATS) at home. Last time out they took an 83-57 beating by Minnesota here at Welsh-Ryan Arena and they're 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Illinois Fighting Illini, they're coming off back-to-back triumphs, including a road win at Penn State. Illinois is 6-2 ATS in its last eight road games vs. a team with a losing home record and needs a win here to stay in the hunt for its first Big Ten regular-season title in 15 years. 10* play on Illinois. |
|||||||
02-26-20 | Clippers -5.5 v. Suns | Top | 102-92 | Win | 100 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
LATE NIGHT CLIPPERS @ SUNS *TOP PLAY* The LA Clippers snapped a three-game skid with a dominant 124-97 triumph over Memphis Monday night. They're 27-13 ATS in their last 40 games as a road favorite and I like them to win and cover in this matchup at Phoenix. Note that the Suns are a terrible 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and in a tough spot with this being their fourth game in six nights, the previous three on the road. Last time out the Suns won 131-11 at Utah and they're just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
02-26-20 | Rutgers v. Penn State -6 | Top | 64-65 | Loss | -104 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG TEN TOTAL The Rutgers Scarlet Knights are an underdog at Penn State Nittany Lions Wednesday night, and for a good reason in my opinion. The Lions are third in the Big Ten despite back-to-back losses and can simply not afford to drop this one. On the season, Penn State is 12-2 (8-5-1 ATS) as a home favorite it'll be looking to avenge a double-digit loss to Rutgers on the road last month. Penn State is holding opponents to 62.0 ppg home at Bryce Jordan Center, and while Rutgers is holding opponents to 62.2 ppg overall, note that the number jumps to 69.5 ppg allowed on the road where the team is just 1-7 SU. 10* play on Penn State. |
|||||||
02-25-20 | Celtics -5 v. Blazers | Top | 118-106 | Win | 100 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
TUESDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Portland Trail Blazers are just 23-33-2 ATS on the season and playing without injured superstar Damian Lillard doesn't help matters. I don't see them keeping up a Boston Celtics team that is 34-20-2 ATS on the season and looking to bounce back from a narrow loss at LA Lakers last time out. The Celtics are 11-5 ATS off a loss on the season, including perfect 4-0 ATS on the road off a road loss. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |
|||||||
02-25-20 | Bucks -1.5 v. Raptors | 108-97 | Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show | |
TUESDAY NIGHT BUCKS @ RAPTORS $20 SPECIAL The Toronto Raptors have won 17 of their last 18 games after beating Indiana by 46 points last time out, but I think they're in trouble when hosting the Milwaukee Bucks Tuesday night. Milwaukee will be playing on no rest following a 137-134 OT win at Washington last night, but note that the Bucks are 7-0 SU and 6-1 ATS when playing on zero days rest this season and they had covered the spread in seven straight games as favorites prior to last night's event. Toronto is a tough nut to crack, but if any team can do it it's the NBA-best Bucks. 8* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |
|||||||
02-24-20 | West Virginia v. Texas +5.5 | Top | 57-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
TOP RATED WEST VIRGINIA @ TEXAS NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY, The West Virginia Mountaineers have dropped four of their last five straight up and they're 2-6 ATS in their last eight games. On the season, they're 2-4 SU and 1-5 ATS in true road games, and I think they're asked to cover way too many points against the Longhorns in Austin, Texas Monday night. Texas is coming off a solid 70-59 victory as a 5.5-point underdog at Kansas State to make it back-to-back wins. They've played terrific defense in recent weeks and should be to able to fend off the slumping Mountaineers. 10* play on Texas Longhorns. |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Butler v. Creighton -5.5 | Top | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 59 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Creighton Bluejays are red hot with eight straight-up wins in their last nine games and a 7-2 ATS record. That stretch includes impressive triumph over No. 19 Marquette, No. 13 Villanova and No. 14 Seton Hall and I think they'll win and cover the spread against Butler on Sunday. The Bulldogs have not been at their best lately with just two wins in their last six games (1-4-1 ATS). This game means a lot for the Bluejays who sit only one game out of first place in the Big East, and it's also a revenge game after a 14-point loss at Hinkle Fieldhouse last month. 10* play on Creighton. |
|||||||
02-22-20 | Mavs -5.5 v. Hawks | Top | 107-111 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 60 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED SATURDAY NIGHT SIDE The Dallas Mavericks will be playing on the second day of a back-to-back situation, but I don't think they'll have any issues with Atlanta after rolling over Orlando Friday night. The Hawks have had just one day off since an upset win over Miami Thursday night and we can note that the Mavs are a solid 20-6 in all road games this season and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. Atlanta is 7-17 when playing against a team with a winning record, and it's one of the worst defensive teams in the league while Dallas has the third-best points per game average. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

02-22-20 | Clemson -4 v. Boston College | Top | 82-64 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Boston College Eagles have covered the spread in four of their last six overall, but they came up short in a 78-65 loss at Virginia last time out and I don't see them keeping pace with Clemson in this Saturday night matchup. The Tigers have averaged 83 ppg in impressive back-to-back upset wins over Pittsburgh and Louisville and they're one of the best defensive teams in the ACC while Boston College averages only 64.9 ppg on the season. We can also note that Clemson has had six days to prepare for this contest while Boston College last played two days ago and this will be the Eagles' third game in just seven days. Look for Clemson to run away with this game. 10* play on Clemson Tigers. |

02-21-20 | Nuggets +2 v. Thunder | Top | 101-113 | Loss | -113 | 16 h 40 m | Show |
TGIF NUGGETS @ THUNDER BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Denver Nuggets took an OT loss to the Lakers in their last game before the All-Star break. They're 9-1-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here against an OKC Thunder team they've dominated lately, winning nine of the past 10 meetings and they're 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. The Thunder have been money against the spread this season, but not as a home favorite and they're 2-8 ATS last 10 as a home favorite. The Nuggets meanwhile are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |
|||||||
02-21-20 | Pacers -5.5 v. Knicks | 106-98 | Win | 100 | 12 h 45 m | Show | |
PACERS @ KNICKS BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Pacers took down the Milwaukee Bucks just before the All-Star break, and I think they'll have no trouble to take care of business against the NY Knicks in this one. They've covered the spread in five straight games as road chalk and 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games overall. As for the Knickerbockers they took a 114-96 beating by the hands of Washington last time out. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. |
|||||||
02-20-20 | Heat -6 v. Hawks | Top | 124-129 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 14 m | Show |
TOP RATED HEAT @ HAWKS BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat headed into the All-Star break as losers of four of their last five, all on the road. They've been better at home than on the away from home all season, but I think they'll get the job done and win and cover when visiting Atlanta Thursday night. Note that the Hawks have allowed 127+ points in three straight games and Miami put up 135 points in an OT win over Atlanta back in December. Last time out, the Heat took a 116-101 loss at Utah. They've had more than a week to mull it over and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points. Additionally, we can note that the Heat are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 Thursday games while the Hawks are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 Thursday games. 10* play on Miami Heat. |
|||||||
02-19-20 | Michigan v. Rutgers -1 | 60-52 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Rutgers Scarlet Knights have won two of their last three and looked sharp in a 72-57 triumph over Illinois last time out. They've been dominant at home all season long and are2-0 ATS as a home favorite of 3 points or less or pick and 6-1 ATS when the total is 130 to 139.5 points. Here they'll host a Michigan side that has won five of their last six games overall, but it is only 2-5 on the road on the season and note that the Wolverines are 0-2 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or pick. 8* play on Rutgers. |
|||||||
02-19-20 | Syracuse v. Louisville -9.5 | Top | 66-90 | Win | 100 | 16 h 13 m | Show |
MIDWEEK MADNESS ACC ANNIHILATOR *TOP PLAY* The No. 11 Louisville Cardinals are coming off back-to-back losses, first at Georgia Tech and most recently an embarrassing setback at Clemson. They had reeled off 10 straight triumphs before that and defeated Virginia 80-73 last time out home at KFC Yum! Center to improve to 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 as a home favorite. The Orange have lost four of their last five and took an 80-77 loss at FSU on Saturday. They're 1-5 ATS after allowing 80 points or more and this won't be easy against a Louisville team that averages 77.2 ppg in their own building and ranks 11th in the nation for 3-point shooting home & away combined. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings between these two teams and I think the cardinals will put a real beating on Syracuse Wednesday night. 10* play on Louisville Cardinals. |
|||||||
02-18-20 | Illinois v. Penn State -6 | 62-56 | Loss | -109 | 16 h 37 m | Show | |
TOP RATED TUESDAY NIGHT NCAAB PLAY OF THE DAY The Illinois Fighting Illini have dropped for in a row and covered the number in only one of those games. Last time out they took a 72-57 beating at Rutgers and I fully expect Penn state to rout Illinois in this one. The Nittany Lions are aiming for a ninth consecutive victory, and they've covered the spread in each of the previous eight triumphs. They're 9-4 against the number in front of the home town crowd and 5-1 ATS on Tuesday nights on the season. Additionally, we can note that Illinois' leading scorer Ayo Dosunmu missed the last game with a knee ailment and he is questionable for this contest. 10* play on Penn State. |
|||||||
02-16-20 | Villanova -6 v. Temple | Top | 76-56 | Win | 100 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
SUPER EARLY TOP RATED CBB PLAY OF THE DAY The No. 16 Villanova Wildcats look like a solid road favorite in this non-league contest at Temple on Sunday. Nova is 0-3-1 ATS in its last four games, but at least it snapped an 0-3 SU skid with a 72-71 win against Marquette last time out. Getting a break from the Big East schedule could be just what the team needs, and here it'll face an Owls side that might feel a bit too good about itself after winning three of four. I'm not convinced the Owls will be ready for what Nova will throw at them. The Wildcats are 3-0 SU (2-1 ATS) as road favorites on the season and the favorite is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 head-to-head meetings with Temple. 10* play on Villanova. |
|||||||
02-15-20 | Gonzaga -15 v. Pepperdine | 89-77 | Loss | -104 | 1 h 2 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HARDWOOD HAMMER No team in college basketball is scoring more points than Gonzaga and its 88.5 ppg, and here the Bulldogs will face a Pepperdine team that is allowing 77.4 ppg. Gonzaga put a 90-60 beating on St. Mary's as a 5-point favorite last time out and is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points and 8-2 ATS in its last 10 Saturday games. Pepperdine has covered the spread in only three of 12 home games on the season and it is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 Saturday games. 8* play on Gonzaga. |
|||||||
02-15-20 | LSU +2.5 v. Alabama | Top | 82-88 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 8 m | Show |
LSU @ ALABAMA SATURDAY CBB *TOP PLAY* The Alabama Crimson Tide have dropped four of their last five games after taking a tough overtime loss to Auburn on Wednesday. They've covered the number in only two of their last six and have had trouble stopping opponents from scoring. That does not bode well for this matchup against a dynamic LSU team that bounced back from road losses at Vanderbilt and Auburn with an 82-79 triumph over Missouri last time out. LSU is 3-0 ATS as a road underdog of 3 points or less or a pick'em on the season and 7-1 ATS in such spots over the last three seasons. Additionally, the Tigers put a 90-76 beating on the Tide as a 5.5-point favorite in Baton Rouge earlier this season. 10* play on LSU Tigers. |
|||||||
02-15-20 | Texas Tech -3.5 v. Oklahoma State | 70-73 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 49 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY CBB BANKROLL BUILDER (1PM ET TIP OFF) The Texas Tech Red Raiders have won three straight games and put an 88-42 beating on TCU last time out. I think they'll put up a decent amount of points in this one as well, while scoring could be an issue for the Oklahoma State with the team averaging only 67 ppg and TTU allowing just 62.8 ppg. The Cowboys have lost seven of their last 10 straight up. They're 3-0 ATS at home on the season and 3-8 ATS against conference opponents. 8* play on Texas Tech. |
|||||||
02-13-20 | Thunder v. Pelicans -2 | Top | 123-118 | Loss | -109 | 15 h 53 m | Show |
THURSDAY NIGHT NBA BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Oklahoma City Thunder are heading to New Orleans off back-to-back losses. They took a 114-106 home loss to San Antonio last time out and I think they'll struggle to contain a New Orleans team that ranks 4th in the league for points per game. The Pelicans are flying high at the moment, winning three in a row and six of their last eight, covering the spread in each win. They're a phenomenal 19-6-1 against the number in their last 26 games overall and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a home favorite. We can also note that this contest will mean a lot for the Pels who have dropped the first three head-to-head matchups with OKC this season. 10* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |
|||||||
02-13-20 | Wichita State -3 v. UCF | Top | 75-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 28 m | Show |
NCAAB BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Central Florida Knights are 8-4 SU at home this season but 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home underdog. The visiting Wichita State Shockers are 3-3 SU on the road this season but 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Shockers have covered the number in only one of their last eight games overall while winning only three of those eight outright, but I think they should be able to keep a limited UCF offense at bay in this one, particularly after taking an embarrassing 76-43 loss at No. 19 Houston on Sunday. Central Florida on the other hand is in a potential letdown spot following two straight wins (both as favorites). Wichita State won the first meeting of the season 87-79 on Jan 25 and it has won four straight head-to-head matchups with UCF. 10* play on Wichita State Shockers. |
|||||||
02-12-20 | Xavier v. Butler -4.5 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
XAVIER @ BUTLER BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 20 Butler Bulldogs are just 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall, but I think they'll cover the number when hosting the Xavier Musketeers Wednesday night. Xavier has reeled off three straight outright wins as underdogs but this will be a tough one against a well-motivated Butler team looking to bounce back from a near double-digit loss at Marquette. The Bulldogs have an elite defense thank ranks 14th in the nation for points allowed and I don't see Xavier putting up nearly enough points to cover the spread in this one. 8* play on Butler. |
|||||||
02-11-20 | North Carolina v. Wake Forest +2 | 57-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
$20 TUESDAY SPECIAL NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Wake Forest Demon Deacons have won just two of their last seven games outright, but they're 6-1 against the numbers in those games and 12-4 ATS as an underdog on the season. Here they'll face a North Carolina Tar Heels side that is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite and just spent a lot of of energy in a 98-96 OT loss to No. 7 Duke on Saturday. "Duke's locker room is very happy, and our locker room is crushed." North Carolina coach Roy Williams told reporters after the defeat. 8* play on Wake Forest. |

02-10-20 | Baylor -5.5 v. Texas | Top | 52-45 | Win | 100 | 14 h 30 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): MIKE'S BAYLOR @ TEXAS *TOP PLAY* The No. 1 Baylor Bears put a 59-44 beating on the Longhorns in Waco just over a month ago, and I predict another Baylor win at Frank Erwin Center, Austin, TX Monday night. Baylor is holding opponents to 59.0 ppg on the season and Texas has struggled to score for the better part of the season, and even more so in recent games putting up just 58 and 57 points respectively in its last two contests. The Longhorns have dropped five of their last seven, and while Baylor hasn't been at its best in the last two games (2-0 SU, 0-2 ATS) I expect the Bears to come motivated for this one. Bears are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 9-2 ATS away from home on the season. Longhorns are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games. 10* play on Baylor. |

02-10-20 | Nets v. Pacers -7 | 106-105 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 5 m | Show | |
NETS @ PACERS HARDWOOD HAMMER The Indiana Pacers have dropped five on the bounce after taking a 124-117 loss to New Orleans last time out. They've struggled to cover the number in recent weeks, but I think they'll come through here against a Brooklyn side that has covered the spread in five of its last six overall but only two of its last 10 on the road. We can also note that Brooklyn star guard Kyrie Irving has missed the last three games with a knee injury and he has been ruled out for this one. Pacers are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Pacers are 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings in the series. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. |

02-09-20 | Heat v. Blazers -3 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show | |
LATE NIGHT HEAT @ BLAZERS BANKROLL BUILDER The Miami Heat own the best home record in the league, but they're not nearly as strong on the road. Here they'll visit a Portland team that has been money against the spread lately, covering in six of its last seven games with the only misstep a blowout loss at Denver. The Blazers should be well up for this one after taking a 122-111 loss at Miami back on Jan. 5. 8* play on Portland. |

02-09-20 | Ohio State +1.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 57-70 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 7 m | Show |
OHIO STATE @ WISCONSIN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Ohio State Buckeyes travel to Wisconsin riding a three-game winning streak. They've held opponents to 59, 59 and 58 points during that stretch and are 10-1 ATS after allowing 60 points or less on the season. As for the Badgers, they've dropped three of their last four after taking a 70-52 loss at Minnesota on Wednesday, They're 1-5 ATS after scoring 60 points or less this season and they've covered the spread in only one of their last seven games overall. The Buckeyes will be well up for this one after dropping a 61-57 decision to the Badgers in Columbus last month, and I expect them to get revenge today. 10* play on Ohio State. |

02-07-20 | Maryland v. Illinois -3 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 38 m | Show |
MARYLAND @ ILLINOIS BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* There is a lot at stake in this contest as with both teams at 8-3, the winner of this one will take sole command of the Big Ten conference. No. 21 Illinois took a 72-65 loss against 17th-ranked Iowa on Sunday, its first setback in a month. The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here. The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won five straight following a 56-51 triumph over Rutgers, but it wasn't pretty and the Terps trailed by five at the half. The Terps won the first meeting 59-58 win Dec. 7, but they're 1-3-1 ATS in their last five road games vs. a team with a winning home record and Illinois should be able to put up an even better fight in its own building. 10* play on Illinois. |

02-05-20 | Seton Hall -3.5 v. Georgetown | Top | 78-71 | Win | 100 | 11 h 50 m | Show |
BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 13 Seton Hall Pirates are 3-1 SU and ATS as favorites of fewer than five points this season, and I like them to win and cover at Georgetown Wednesday night. We can also note that they'll be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 74-62 home loss as an 8.5-point favorite against Xavier to close out a three-game road trip and that Seton Hall is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 road games following three or more consecutive home games and 7-0 ATS in its last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. As for the Hoyas, they just snapped a three-game SU and ATS skid with a 73-72 upset win at St. John's which sets up a potential let down spot tonight. 10* play on Seton Hall. |

02-04-20 | Rutgers v. Maryland -7.5 | Top | 51-56 | Loss | -104 | 14 h 14 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NCAAB): TOP RATED BIG TEN SIDE *WHITE HOT 11-0 RUN* The No. 9 Maryland Terrapins have won four on the bounce and seven of their last nine games, including an impressive 82-72 victory against No. 17 Iowa on Thursday. They're 6-2-1 ATS during that nine-game stretch and I think they'll win and cover the line when hosting Rutgers in Big Ten action Tuesday night. The Scarlet Knights took a 69-63 loss to Michigan last time out and while their defense is one of the best in the conference, they'll find it hard to slow down a Maryland team that is humming on all cylinders and has scored 77 points or more in three straight games. The Terps are a perfect 5-0 ATS as a home favorite of fewer than 10 points on the season and I'm counting on them to remain perfect after this contest. 10* play on Maryland Terrapins. |

02-03-20 | Mavs v. Pacers -4 | Top | 112-103 | Loss | -115 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): TOP RATED SIDE FOR FEBRUARY The Indiana Pacers are far from their best at the moment. They've dropped two of their last three games and took a 92-85 home loss to the lowly New York Knicks last time out, but I like them to bounce back to win and cover the number when hosting the Dallas Mavericks Monday night. While the Pacers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight-up loss, the Mavs are 3-9-2 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight-up win, which they are following a 123-100 win over Atlanta on Saturday. Indiana is 7-0 ATS as a home favorite of five points or fewer on the season. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. |

02-02-20 | Bulls v. Raptors -10.5 | Top | 102-129 | Win | 100 | 13 h 27 m | Show |
GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED BULLS @ RAPTORS SIDE The Chicago Bulls are 1-4 ATS through their last five games and they travel to Toronto off back-to-back road losses. The Bulls are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog while the Raptors are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games as a home favorite. Toronto is on fire as it will try to push its winning streak to 11 in a row, and I expect a blowout win for the defending-champion Raptors in this one. Chicago does simply not have the firepower to threaten a Toronto team that is elite on the defensive end of the hardwood. 10* play on Toronto Raptors. |

02-02-20 | Illinois v. Iowa -4.5 | 65-72 | Win | 100 | 4 h 50 m | Show | |
BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER ~ ILLINOIS @ IOWA We have a big game in the Big Ten this Sunday as the No. 19 Illinois Fighting Illini visit the 18th-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes. The home team is in desperate need of a win to keep its conference title hopes alive, and I think Hawkeyes will no only win but also cover the spread in the process. They had won five straight prior to an 82-72 loss at No. 15 Maryland last time out, and while Illinois is solid on the defensive end, shutting down an elite Iowa offense won't be easy in front of a crowd that has carried its team to an 8-1-2 ATS record in its last 11 home games. 8* play on Iowa. |
|||||||
01-30-20 | Minnesota v. Illinois -4.5 | Top | 51-59 | Win | 100 | 19 h 58 m | Show |
GAME OF THE YEAR (NCAAB): MIKE'S REG SEASON SIDE *MAJOR WAGER* The Illinois Fighting Illini are coming off back-to-back underdog wins on the road, and now they return home to State Farm Center where they're 11-1 SU on the season. They've failed to cover the spread in two straight games in their own building, but I think the Illini will get the job done here against a Minnesota team that has lost two of its last three, has failed to cover the number in both losses and averaged only 56.6 ppg through those three games. The Gophers are 2-6-1 ATS in their losses on the season while Illinois is 9-4-1 ATS in its victories. As I expect Illinois to win this game outright, I think it's a fair assumption that they'll cover the spread. 10* play on Illinois. |

01-29-20 | Thunder -2.5 v. Kings | Top | 120-100 | Win | 100 | 13 h 0 m | Show |
TOP RATED NBA PLAY OF THE DAY *MAJOR WAGER ALERT* The Oklahoma City Thunder are playing some great basketball lately and had won and cover the spread in five straight games prior to a 107-97 loss to Dallas last time out. They're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a double-digit loss at home and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, and I like their chances of bouncing back at Golden 1 Center Wednesday night. The Sacramento Kings are coming off back-to-back road wins at Chicago and Minnesota, but this is a tough spot as they return home from a five-game road trip. With the Kings 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games following a road trip of seven or more days and 2-10-1 ATS in their last 13 home games overall, I really like OKC to come through for us in this one. 10* play on OKC Thunder. |

01-29-20 | Indiana v. Penn State -6 | Top | 49-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 22 m | Show |
WEDNESDAY NIGHT NCAAB *MAJOR WAGER* TOP PLAY The No. 23 Penn State Nittany Lions are 10-1 SU at home on the season and 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 home games. Here they'll host an Indiana team that is 1-3 SU and ATS on the road on the season and most likely not in a good mood after taking a home loss to Maryland last time out. The Nittany Lions' offense ranks top 50 in the nation and they are coming off back-to-back underdog wins over Ohio State and Michigan. "I really think we’re starting to play our best basketball heading into February," Penn State coach Patrick Chambers told reporters. "We’re really starting to click and play well." The home team is 3-1-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings and Penn State will be well up for this after losing the last four matchups straight up, including a tough two-point home loss last year. 10* play on Penn State Nittany Lions. |

01-28-20 | Butler +1 v. Georgetown | Top | 69-64 | Win | 100 | 18 h 4 m | Show |
GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER The No. 17 Butler Bulldogs snapped a three-game skid with an 89-85 OT win over Marquette last time out. I think they'll make it two in a row when visiting the Georgetown Hoyas Tuesday night. The Bulldogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win and they'll face a Hoyas side that has lost three of its last four and two on the bounce. Georgetown put up just 57 points in a nine-point loss at Xavier last time out and points won't come easy against this Butler team that has held opponents to 59.4 (8th) ppg on the season. Additionally, we can note that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and that Butler has won four straight games at Georgetown. 10* play on Butler Bulldogs. |

01-27-20 | Wisconsin v. Iowa -5.5 | Top | 62-68 | Win | 100 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
WISCONSIN @ IOWA BIG 10 BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The No. 19 Iowa Hawkeyes are 11-1 SU at home on the season and they had covered the spread in seven straight home games prior to a push in an 85-80 win over Rutgers last time out. Here they'll host a Wisconsin team that took a 70-51 beating at Purdue Friday night and the Badgers are just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Wisconsin has a top 20 defense in the nation, but I think the team will struggle to slow down an Iowa side that averages 80.2 ppg. 10* play on Iowa Hawkeyes. |

01-27-20 | Magic v. Heat -4.5 | Top | 92-113 | Win | 100 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
MAGIC @ HEAT SUNSHINE STATE RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat took a 122-117 loss to the Clippers on Friday. That was their mere second loss in 22 home games on the season, and I expect the Heat to bounce back when hosting the Orland Magic in this Sunshine State rivalry game Monday night. While the Heat will be playing on two days rest (they're 6-1 ATS in their last seven games playing on two days rest), the Magic will be playing the second game of a back-to-back situation after losing to Toronto on Sunday. The Magic are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games playing on no rest and 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. Additionally, note that Miami is 19-0 SU and 12-6-1 ATS as a home favorite on the season. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

NETS @ KNICKS CROSS-BRIDGES RIVALRY *TOP PLAY* The Brooklyn Nets snapped a five-game losing streak with an OT win at Detroit last time out, but I think they'll come up short here as they head to Madison Square Garden to take on the New York Knicks on Sunday. The Knickerbockers have covered the spread in four straight games and they're 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. Brooklyn, on the other hand, is 0-7 ATS in its last seven as a road underdog and we can note that the Knicks have covered the line in eight of the last 10 matchups with the Nets at MSG. 10* play on NY Knicks. |

MARYLAND @ INDIANA NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Indiana Hoosiers are 12-1 at home on the season but I think they're in for their second loss when hosting the No. 17 Maryland Terrapins on Sunday. The Terps are coming off a solid 77-66 win at Northwestern to move to 4-2 SU and 4-1-1 ATS through their last six games. Indiana has won four of its last five straight-up, but this will be a tough one. Note that Maryland ranks just outside of top 20 in the nation for points allowed and it defeated the Hoosiers 75-59 at home earlier this month. 8* play on Maryland Terrapins. |

01-25-20 | LSU v. Texas | 69-67 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
LSU @ TEXAS BIG 12/SEC CHALLENGE The red hot LSU Tigers have won seven in a row, and I think they look good to add to that tally when taking on Texas in the Big 12/SEC Challenge Saturday. The Longhorns are a mess with four losses in their last six games and they took a 97-59 beating at No. 15 West Virginia on Monday. Stopping LSU won't be easy with the team averaging 80.2 ppg on the season and it has scored 80+ points in three straight games. The Longhorns are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games while the Tigers are 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 road games. 8* play on LSU Tigers. |

KINGS @ BULLS NBA NO BRAINER The reeling Sacramento Kings have lost six consecutive games straight up and they're 0-5-1 ATS during that stretch. They took a 113-106 loss to the Bulls at home on December 2 and I think they'll come up short in this one as well. The Bulls have split their last six games with the losses at Boston, Philadelphia and Milwaukee. They're 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED MAVS @ BLAZERS *BEST BET* ATS The Portland Trail Blazers have been awful against the spread all season and they're 3-12 ATS through their last 15 games. Here they'll host a Dallas Mavericks team looking to bounce back from a 110-107 loss to the LA Clippers last time out. Note that the Mavs are an outstanding 20-6-2 ATS in their last 28 road games and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. Additionally, they've covered the spread in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings with the Blazers at Portland. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

WASHINGTON @ UTAH NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Utah Utes are coming off four consecutive losses, but I think they'll end the draught when hosting the Washington Huskies Thursday night. They return home from a three-game road trip and are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games following three or more consecutive road games. As for the visiting Huskies, they're 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games and have lost their last two away from home straight up, the most recent a 61-58 setback as a 6-point favorite at California on January 11. 8* play on Utah Utes. |

01-22-20 | Nuggets +8.5 v. Rockets | 105-121 | Loss | -101 | 8 h 12 m | Show | |
NUGGETS @ ROCKETS NBA NO BRAINER The Houston Rockets are 26-16 SU on the season, but they're just 2-5 SU and 1-6 ATS through their last seven games. Their struggles have not surprisingly coincided with a shooting slump for superstar James Harden who is just 9-of-51 from 3-point range over the past four contests. Here the Rockets will face one of the best defensive teams in the NBA, and I don't see how Houston could possibly cover the spread in this one. Sure, the Nuggets are banged up, but they can still put decent talent on the floor. Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog. Rockets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. 8* play on Denver Nuggets. |

01-21-20 | Clippers v. Mavs -1.5 | Top | 110-107 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
CLIPPERS @ MAVS NBA NO BRAINER *TOP PLAY* The LA Clippers are coming off a 133-130 win at New Orleans, but they still failed to cover the spread and are 2-5 ATS through their last five overall. Additionally, the Clippers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight-up win and they'll face a Dallas Mavericks team that will be looking to avenge a 114-99 loss to the Clip Show here at American Airlines Center back in November. The Mavs are 8-3 ATS when avenging a home loss against an opponent this season and I don't think they'll make the home town crowd happy this time around. 10* play on Dallas Mavericks. |

KINGS @ HEAT NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER The Miami Heat took a 107-102 loss at San Antonio on Sunday afternoon. They get a chance to bounce back in front of the home town crowd at American Airlines Arena where they're 18-1 SU on the season, and I very much like the home team in this matchup. The visiting Sacramento Kings have allowed an average of 122.8 points per game through a four-game slide (0-3-1 ATS) and the team is 3-8-1 ATS in its last 12 games following a straight up loss. 8* play on Miami Heat. |

01-16-20 | Cincinnati +4.5 v. Memphis | 49-60 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
THURSDAY NIGHT NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Cincinnati Bearcats and the Memphis Tigers played two close games last season (both Cincy triumph). I think this contest will go down to the wire as well which makes taking the points on the underdog all the more attractive. The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four head-to-head meetings and Cincinnati defeated UCF 68-54 on the road last time out. As for Memphis, it took a 65-62 loss as a seven-point favorite over Georgia its last time out at home. 8* play on Cincinnati Bearcats. |

01-15-20 | Spurs v. Heat -5 | Top | 100-106 | Win | 100 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
SPURS @ HEAT WEDNESDAY NIGHT NBA *TOP PLAY* The Miami Heat are a splendid 17-1 SU home at American Airlines Arena on the season and 14-4-1 ATS in their last 19 home games. They'll be desperate for a win following back-to-back road losses at Brooklyn and New York, and we can note that the Heat are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up loss and 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a home favorite. As for the visiting San Antonio Spurs, while they've won three of their last four with impressive triumphs over Milwaukee, Boston and Toronto, I think this looks like a letdown spot. They defeated the Raptors as a 4.5-point dog last time out but are 6-21 ATS in their last 27 games following a straight up win. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

GAME OF THE MONTH (NBA): MIKE'S TOP RATED NBA SIDE FOR JANUARY The red hot Utah Jazz are winners of nine straight and 14 of their last 15 after opening a three-game road trip with a 127-116 win over the Washington Wizards on Sunday. They're 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and I like them to come through here in Brooklyn on Tuesday. The Nets picked up a 108-86 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in Kyrie Irving's return from injury on Sunday, but they're still just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. While Irving no doubt will give Brooklyn a boost, I don't see them keeping pace with the Jazz who are 16-6 ATS in the last 22 meetings, including 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Brooklyn. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

01-10-20 | Butler v. Providence +2.5 | Top | 70-58 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 16 m | Show |
BUTLER @ PROVIDENCE BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER *TOP PLAY* The Providence Friars are on fire with four straight wins and they won outright as a six-point underdog at Marquette on Tuesday. I think they have a great shot at winning this one against a Butler team that routed Creighton last time out, but that contest took place almost a week ago so the team is at risk of coming out sluggish here. Additionally, note that the Friars won all three meetings last season and the home team is is 8-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. 10* play on Providence Friars. |

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA): MIKE'S KNICKS @ LAKERS ATS MAJOR WAGER The New York Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season at the moment with three wins straight up and a 4-1 ATS record through their last five games. They're 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games, and they're catching the LA Lakers at a good time here with the home team likely to look past the 10-26 Knickerbockers with a competitive conference rival in the 23-13 on deck. The Lakers enter this contest on a five-game winning streak, but they've failed to cover as double-digit favorites in each of their last three games and they're 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall. 10* play on NY Knicks. |

PROVIDENCE @ MARQUETTE NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER The Providence Friars have opened Big East play with triumphs over Georgetown and DePaul. I think they'll give the Marquette a scare here as the Golden Eagles are in a sandwich spot, coming off a win over then-10th ranked Villanova and tougher matchups on deck, first at Seton Hall and then at home against Xavier. While Marquette has impressed home at Fiserv Forum, I think this game will be closer than the point spread would suggest. 8* play on Providence. |
