This is a play on the CLEVELAND GUARDIANS for our MLB Underdog Enforcer. The Guardians were shut down by the Seattle pitching on opening day as Luis Castillo and three relievers held them to just four hits and no runs in a 3-0 loss. Cleveland looks to get that back tonight against another solid pitcher in Robbie Ray who won the American League Cy Young in 2021 pitching for Toronto but saw his velocity decrease last season and his ERA went up by nearly a run. All indications are that his velocity is back to where it was two years ago and he is laying a big number against a dangerous offense that looks to break out after the shutout. The Mariners managed only three runs on Thursday against the Guardians bullpen which came on one swing from Ty France who hit a three-run home run to break a scoreless tie in the bottom of the ninth inning. Starter Shane Bieber was solid and Cleveland hopes to get a replication of that from Hunter Gaddis who earned the No. 2 spot in the rotation because of injuries and he will be making just his third start for the Guardians. On Saturday, he tossed 70 pitches in a minor league start so he has been stretched out and can go a while here as long as he remains effective against an offense that did not show much yesterday either. 10* (909) Cleveland Guardians

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our Friday Free Play. Chicago is coming off a loss against the Lakers on Wednesday which made it two straight losses following a 7-2 run that put the Bulls into the No. 10 spot but the playoffs are no guarantee yet as they are two games ahead of Washington so this is a game it cannot take lightly. This game and the final game of the season against Detroit are bookended around four games against teams vying for playoff positioning so it is not going to be an easy close to the season. The Bulls are 6-1 in their last seven road games and are in a good spot here. One reason for being a good spot is the fact that Charlotte has won three straight games, which is its second longest winning streak of the season, and all three of those wins came as an underdog of nine or more points. The Hornets last three home wins have come against reeling Indiana and Dallas as well as the Pistons and their six home wins in-between all came against teams in playoff positions and came by an average of 15.3 ppg. Here, we play against home underdogs revenging a road loss of 10 points or more, off an upset win as a road underdog. This situation is 40-11 ATS (78.4 percent) over the last five seasons.

NBA 6-0 Sweep the last three nights and a 20-8 NBA run as we remain RED HOT at the right time with the playoffs looming. Fargo is now on 59-35-1 and 80-52-1 NBA runs and is ready to bring it again tonight! The NBA is on a FANTASTIC 88-56-1 run and Matt is back on Friday to keep it going with FOUR Winners highlighted by his NBA Revenge Game of the Year!

This is a play on the HOUSTON ROCKETS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Two of the worst teams in the NBA square off tonight as the Pistons and Rockets are both riding seven-game losing streaks. Houston is back home following a five-game roadtrip and its previous two home losses came against the Pelicans and Lakers and this is the first home game over its last eight games against a team not in playoff contention and the last one resulted in a 32-point win over San Antonio laying a very similar number. The Rockets are just 12-26 at home with this being the last winnable home game and this is just the third game all season they are home favorites with the first one also coming against the Spurs way back in December. The Pistons are coming off a pair of covers against Milwaukee and Oklahoma City, both nine-point losses, which followed five straight double-digit defeats. Detroit has six players averaging double digits in scoring and four of those are out tonight and it has been playing with a nine-man rotation over the last three games. They are 3-28 this season following an ATS win. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a straight up loss as a favorite, off a cover where the team lost the game straight up as an underdog. This situation is 140-84 ATS (62.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (570) Houston Rockets

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. We won with the Lakers on Wednesday as they built an 18-point lead and coasted the rest of the way. After that victory, they are once again the talk of the Western Conference, being dubbed as the team that can make the run to the NBA Finals but this team still has its issues and they are still far from making the playoffs. With the Pelicans win last night, Los Angeles fell into the No. 9 spot in the Western Conference and five of the six remaining games are against teams vying for either the postseason or playoff positioning. Minnesota is coming off a loss at Phoenix in a controversial officiated game which is becoming the norm in this league and the Timberwolves will be playing with some fire here. They had won four straight games prior to that and are working with a relatively healthy roster for the first time in a long while. They are tied with the Pelicans for the No. 7 spot and trail Golden St. by one game for No. 6 and the all important spot of facing Sacramento in the first round. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after having won four or five of their last six games, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 104-61 ATS (63 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (568) Minnesota Timberwolves

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS as part of our NBA Friday Triple Play. Cleveland clinched a playoff spot two games back and while it lost to Atlanta in its last game, it was meaningless as this is the big one. The Cavaliers have a four-game lead over the Knicks for the No. 4 spot in the Eastern Conference with five games left so a victory here gives them home court advantage against New York in the first round of the playoffs and they can coast the rest of the way. This is also a double-revenge spot for Cleveland as a victory evens the season series at 2-2 and avoids giving the Knicks the first tiebreaker. New York has won two straight games following a three-game skid to keep those home court hopes alive but it suffered a big loss in the last game as forward Julius Randle left the game early with a sprained ankle and will be out until the postseason which is a big loss as he leads the team in scoring and rebounding so now it is important just for the rest of the team to remain healthy for the next week and a half. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season after two or more consecutive unders with a scoring differential between +3 to +7 ppg going up against teams with a scoring differential between +/- 3. This situation is 44-18 ATS (71 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (562) Cleveland Cavaliers

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Revenge Game of the Year. This is the second game of a two-game set between the Clippers and Grizzlies in Memphis and the first meeting on Wednesday had a shocking result as Ja Morant was listed as questionable coming in while Kawhi Leonard was a late scratch yet Los Angeles won by nine points behind one of the best shooting efforts from Russell Westbrook this season. Leonard is questionable again tonight and whether he goes or not is not a huge concern as Memphis will be out for payback. The Grizzlies had their seven-game winning streak snapped with that loss and this is the second to last home game of the regular season for Memphis and it is a big one for the upcoming postseason. The Grizzlies have a two-game lead over Sacramento with five games left after this one for the No. 2 spot in the Western Conference and home court advantage through the first two rounds of the playoffs. The defeat was just the sixth one at home for Memphis and in its previous five home losses, it played its next game as home twice and won those games by 21 and 15 points. Here, we play on favorites revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points, off a home loss. This situation is 230-152 ATS (60.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (572) Memphis Grizzlies
