San Antonio at Dallas 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Mavericks- This is the third meeting of the season and Dallas has taken the first two by five and 11 points as they are looking to sweep the season series from San Antonio for the first time is the 41 years they have been playing. The Mavericks have won six of their last seven games overall as the Spurs have dropped 10 of their last 12 but are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 as rod underdogs. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

04-11-21 | Pelicans v. Cavs +7 | 116-109 | Push | 0 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Pelicans- As Zion Williamson matures the Pelicans show improvement day by day. Last time out New Orleans used Williamson to bring the ball up the court and the result was a career high eight assists and 15 rebounds while scoring 37 points in their 101-94 win over the Sixers. The Pelicans are 4-9 ATS after a SU win and are 2-5 ATS on the road against teams with losing records. Cleveland was embarrassed last time out after a pair of road wins they returned home and gave up 87 first-half points to Toronto (Megabucks winner) and were smashed 135-115. They rebound here. Take CLEVELAND! |

04-10-21 | Raptors -2.5 v. Cavs | Top | 135-115 | Win | 100 | 10 h 39 m | Show |
Toronto at Cleveland 7:30 ET Raptors (-) over Cavaliers- These two are practically mirror images of each other although it may not seem that way. Toronto is 20-32 SU and 21-31 ATS on the season and the Cavaliers are 19-32 SU and 21-30 ATS. Cleveland returns home after winning their last two on the road by 24 and 27 points and they are an underdog to the reeling Raptors who have lost their last two and 6-of-8. What makes this 'line' even more questionable is that Toronto is just 3-13 ATS in their last 16 meetings in Cleveland. This one stinks...take the RAPTORS! |

04-09-21 | Spurs +8.5 v. Nuggets | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 11 h 24 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Denver 9:00 ET Spurs (+) over Nuggets- We have heard this before about a pair of clubs moving in opposite directions but, at this speed is rare. Denver has won seven straight and 12 of 15 including 6-0 since acquiring Aaron Gordon and JaVale McGee while the Spurs have lost four straight and 8-of-10. As bad as San Antonio is going they are still 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as road underdogs but just 1-4 ATS in their last five games at Denver. But tonight...take SAN ANTONIO! |
|||||||
04-09-21 | Bulls +2 v. Hawks | Top | 108-120 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
Chicago at Atlanta 8:10 ET Bulls (+) over Hawks- Chicago has matched their season high winning streak with three straight victories and bring it to Atlanta where the Hawks just had a 4-game winning streak of their own ended by (Megabucks winner) Memphis. Bulls look to avenge a 124-104 loss in the first meeting back in late December and are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings including 5-0 ATS in the last five in Atlanta. Chicago is 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games including 11-4 ATS as road dogs. Take CHICAGO! |

04-09-21 | Pacers v. Magic +4.5 | 111-106 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Indiana at Orlando 7:00 ET Magic (+) over Pacers- The biggest difference between these two teams is that one of beset with in juries and the other is getting healthy. Injuries to Domantas Sabonis, Malcolm Brogdon and Myler turner has added to Indiana's woes while Cole Anthony and Michael Carter-Williams have returned to action for Orlando. The Pacers are just 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall and just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. The Magic are 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight home games and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take ORLANDO! |

04-08-21 | Bucks +1 v. Mavs | 101-116 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 7 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Dallas 9:00 ET mavericks over Bucks- Both of these guys are off losses as road favorites against sub-oar competition as the Bucks were shot by Curry and the lowly Warriors while Dallas was blowing an 11-point lead to the NBA's worst in Houston. Milwaukee had won three straight entering that fray and the Mavericks had won and 'covered' five in-a-row. Bucks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games and 2-7 ATS after a SU loss while the Mavs are 6-1 ATS after a SU and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Dallas and 12-2-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings overall. Take the MAVERICKS! |

04-08-21 | Lakers v. Heat -8 | 104-110 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Lakers- These two clubs have had to deal with injuries the entire season and we are all aware of the Lakers issues with Anthony Davis and Lebron James. Los Angeles is 4-6 without and 15-13 without Davis and are off a road win versus Toronto. Miami who defeated LA 96-94 in February when the Heat were without Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro. Miami has won 4-of-5 and have added Victor Oladipo. LA is 1-5 ATS in their last six games as underdogs and 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. Take MIAMI! |

04-07-21 | Grizzlies +3 v. Hawks | Top | 131-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show |
Memphis at Atlanta 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Hawks- This could be a good one as these two clubs are pretty evenly matched. Atlanta has won 13 of their last 17 and are coming off a record setting performance against New Orleans where they made 11 straight 3-point shots. Memphis has won their last three and are 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Although the Hawks are flying high and are 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games the line is short and they are just 2-5 ATS at home against a team with winning road record. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Knicks v. Celtics -3 | 99-101 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
New York at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Knicks- Hard to believe that the Knicks and Celtics have the same record at this point of the season they are tied for the seventh seed in the East and both teams are off losses. New York blew a 14-point 4th quarter lead to the nets last time out while Boston was humbled by Philadelphia ta home last night. New York has been great against the 'number' and they are 6-1 ATS in their last six road games while Boston is 1-6 ATS in their second of back-to back games but are 4-1 ATS after a SU loss. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
04-07-21 | Pelicans v. Nets -9 | 111-139 | Win | 100 | 9 h 41 m | Show | |
New Orleans at Brooklyn 7:30 ET Nets (-) over Pelicans- This seems like an exceptionally high price to lay as the Nets have had a makeshift line-up for all but seven games this season. New Orleans has injury troubles as well as Zion Williamson returned last game after missing three games and Lonzo Ball is back after a 7-game absence along with Steve Adams but, Brandon Ingram is out on the sideline with Kira lewis and Josh Hart. The trends are all one way as the Pelicans are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games and the Nets are 1-6 ATS in the last seven home games and there are many others that support New Orleans action. But, there is one key trends that doesn't and it is Brooklyn isn 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
04-06-21 | Lakers +2 v. Raptors | 110-101 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
L.A. Lakers at Toronto 7:30 ET Lakers (+) over Raptors- Los Angeles as we should all know by now are without Anthony Davis and LeBron James and are off their lowest scoring game of the season losing to the LA Clippers 104-86. Toronto who has won their last two game haven't won three straight since mid-February and will also be without a pair of key players in Kyle Lowry and Fred VanVleet. The Lakers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with losing records. Take the LAKERS! |

04-05-21 | Baylor v. Gonzaga -4.5 | Top | 86-70 | Loss | -105 | 27 h 58 m | Show |
Baylor vs. Gonzaga 9:20 ET Bulldogs (-) over Bears- This is the game we have all been waiting for (at least I have), especially since the early game scheduled between these two was canceled. Except for a short spur when Michigan was showing their best Baylor and Gonzaga have been the two best teams in the nation. We finally broke through with a win against the Bulldogs as they were lucky to escape with an overtime win against a 'game' UCLA team. Baylor had no such issues with Houston and manhandled them from start to finish! The Zags have won all five previous meetings with the dog Houston going 4-1 ATS. Not to worry here. The Bulldogs bite...take GONZAGA! |
|||||||
04-05-21 | Pistons -3 v. Thunder | Top | 132-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 33 m | Show |
Detroit at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET Pistons (-) over Thunder- This 'line' just tells us how bad OKC actually is, as they are home underdogs to the Pistons. Detroit is 5-20 SU on the road while the Thunder have a better home record at 9-15. Both of these dregs are coming off embarrassing losses as Oklahoma City was pasted by Portland 133-85 (worst loss in OKC history) while Detroit lost by 44 points to the NY Knicks which was their worst loss in 27 years. Now, the Pistons come up the favorite on the road against a team that they have lost five straight games to as they haven't beaten the Thunder in OKC since November 2017. Detroit is 21-7 ATS after an ATS loss and are 15-7 ATS as road favorites. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Warriors -120 v. Hawks | Top | 111-117 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
Golden State at Atlanta 7:30 ET Warriors over Hawks- There is something way off here! Let's check these clubs most recent results. Atlanta has won their last two on the road defeating San Antonio and New Orleans as a favorite while the Warriors have dropped their last two and six of seven including a 53-point loss at Toronto (the worst defeat in franchise history). Now, somehow Golden State although with a lesser record and playing their worst ball of the year are favored on the road. It just doesn't seem right to me. The Warriors as bad as they are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as favorites while (get this) the Hawks are 5-12 ATS at home after a seven day or more road trip. Take GOLDEN STATE! |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Grizzlies +4 v. 76ers | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Memphis at Philadelphia 7:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over 76ers- The Sixers are tied with Brooklyn for the top spot in the East and after a10-game absence Joel Embiid returned to the line-up to dominate the Timberwolves. Philadelphia coach Doc Rivers has indicated that Embiid may not see the floor against the Grizzlies who are off a great 3-point shooting night and they are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games and are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs while the 76ers are just 2-5-1 ATS in the second of back-to-back games and it is most likely Embiid will not see action. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
04-04-21 | Nets v. Bulls +2.5 | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 4 h 9 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Chicago 2:10 ET Bulls (+) over Nets- It may have taken a bit of time but the Nets are finally atop the Eastern Conference tied with the 76ers after winning their fourth straight and 12th in their last 14 outings. Chicago meanwhile is in a free fall as they have lost their last six and their playoff hopes are slim. Brooklyn does win but they are just 1-7 ATS in their last eight games as favorites and are 0-5 ATS in their last five against a team with a losing record. One of the more positive things to say about the Bulls is that they bare 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games played on Sunday. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Bucks v. Kings +6.5 | Top | 129-128 | Win | 100 | 12 h 10 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Bucks- Both these clubs had extreme decisions yesterday as the Bucks crushed the Trailblazers at Portland 127-109 while Sacramento was getting pasted by the LA Lakers 115-94 ending a five-game home winning streak. Despite leading the league in scoring Milwaukee is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games and they are 2-6 ATS as road favorites. The Kings are much improved and get the money here. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | UCLA +14.5 v. Gonzaga | 90-93 | Win | 100 | 26 h 30 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Gonzaga 8:35 ET Bruins (+) over Bulldogs- During the regular season if you played on Gonzaga you probably split out as they were 12-12 ATS but since the NCAA's they are 4-0 ATS and it hasn't been close. If you played the Bruins you were no better off as they closed with four straight losses and were 12-14 ATS entering the tournament. When I watch UCLA I see quick hands and defensive speed against the ball which has given opponents fits. But, they have only one player in double figures scoring against Michigan and that won't cut it here. Large points there is way to go...take UCLA! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston v. Baylor UNDER 135 | 59-78 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 10 m | Show | |
Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET Cougars/Bears UNDER- All I can say is that both of these team play great pressure and man defense. Houston is No. 2 in points allowed at 57.6 while being No. 1 in defensive FG percentage allowed at 37%. Baylor who averages 85.3 points per contest also play aggressive defense and man-to-man. The Cougars are 23-9 UNDER as dogs and 19-7 UNDER against teams with winning percentages of 60 or better. Play UNDER! |
|||||||
04-03-21 | Houston +5 v. Baylor | Top | 59-78 | Loss | -106 | 23 h 11 m | Show |
Houston vs Baylor 5:15 ET Cougars (+) over Bears- Baylor has been the No. 2 team in the nation the entire season and with a cancelled game against Gonzaga they got to 18-0 before a 23-day break because of COVID protocols. Once returning to action the Bears didn't seem to be the same but the 'Big Dance' has brought out the best in them as they have reeled off four straight wins and eight in their last nine games. Houston meanwhile has been lurking around the entire season and have won their last 11 and bring the nation's No. 2 scoring defense into this fray holding opponents to 57.6 PPG. Baylor of course has the No. 3 offense averaging 85.3 PPG while shooting 43% from 3-point range. But, the Cougars are No. 1 in FG defense allowing just 37% from the floor. Take HOUSTON! |
|||||||
04-02-21 | Hawks -1.5 v. Pelicans | 126-103 | Win | 100 | 12 h 4 m | Show | |
Atlanta at New Orleans 9:00 ET Hawks over Pelicans- Both these clubs went into overtime Thursday night with the Hawks winning in double-overtime 134-129 at San Antonio and the Pelicans lost in OT 115-110 to Orlando while playing without Zion Williamson who has an injured thumb. Take note that Atlanta is 5-1 ATS as favorites and are 4-0 ATS in their last four visits to New Orleans although the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as home underdogs. But, injuries are nagging them here as Ingram and ball are questionable. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
04-02-21 | Hornets +4 v. Pacers | 114-97 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Indiana 8:00 ET Hornets (+) over Pacers- Last night the Hornets managed to catch Brooklyn without James harden in the lineup but a well balanced Nets offense destroyed Charlotte 111-89 with seven players in double figures. Charlotte has bounced back after bad performances going 8-2 ATS after a straight-up loss and are 9-2 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Indiana is struggling and is 3-14 ATS in their last 17 home games and 1-5 ATS as favorites including 0-5 ATS as home favorites. Take CHARLOTTE! |

04-02-21 | Warriors +1.5 v. Raptors | Top | 77-130 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
Golden State at Toronto 7:00 ET Warriors (+) over Raptors- Golden State has lost 5-of-6 but is encouraged with the return of Stephen Curry who shooting and scoring at will. Toronto during March was even worst winning just once in 14 games and are 0-6 ATS in their last six games as favorites. The Warriors who have struggles of their own are just 1-6 ATS as road underdogs and 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games overall. But, with Green healthy and Curry scoring whenever he wants the Warriors are the side. Take GOLDEN STATE! |
|||||||
04-01-21 | Warriors +3 v. Heat | Top | 109-116 | Loss | -113 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
Golden State at Miami 8:00 ET Warriors (+) over Heat- Both these clubs are flirting around the .500 mark as the Heat have won their last two climbing to the breakeven mark while won for the first time in five games last time out and are one-game under. With Stephen Curry back in the lineup the Warriors are a different club as are the Heat when Jimmy Butler plays and he will play tonight and so will Victor Oladipo who will make his first heat appearance. This line looks very short to me which says Miami will continue to struggle. Take GOLDEN STATE! |
|||||||
03-31-21 | Kings +2.5 v. Spurs | 106-120 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
Sacramento at San Antonio 8:30 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- Monday night the Kings won their fifth straight against the Spurs 132-115 while San Antonio was now lost 5-of-6. The was a Money Game winner for 'us' as I thought the line was a bit short and now here we go with the same price tonight. I think most people that want to bet this matchup will play on the Spurs in the second of back-to-back games after a loss. But the line is the same and the Spurs are 12-28 ATS as home favorites. Add that the Kings are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings and 4-1 ATS in San Antonio. Take SACRAMENTO! |

03-31-21 | Mavs v. Celtics +1 | 113-108 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
Dallas at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (+) over Mavericks- Well, the 12% capacity crowd that is allowed into TD Garden were disappointed in Boston's first home game with people in the stands in over a year Monday as New Orleans upended the Celtics 115-109 in the first of a seven-game home stand. This is the third of a 5-game road trip for Dallas and they have won 3-of-4 on the road and are off a 127-106 road win over OKC and the Mavs are 2-8 ATS after scoring 125 points or more. The line is short but the Celtics are 19-7 ATS as home underdogs. Take BOSTON! |
|||||||
03-31-21 | Blazers v. Pistons +7.5 | Top | 124-101 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Portland at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Trailblazers- One of the problems with this Blazers team is their incentive to play hard on a consistent basis. In their last outing against Toronto they (Portland) surrendered 74 first-half points and then held the Raptors to 10 third quarter points. See, boys you can do it, if you try, but...they don't always try so much. Portland is 7-15 ATS in their last 22 road games against teams with losing records and are 1-7-1 ATS in the last nine meetings including 0-4 ATS in Detroit. Pistons playing better of late going 5-2 ATS and 5-2 ATS as underdogs. Take DETROIT! |

03-30-21 | UCLA v. Michigan -6.5 | 51-49 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Michigan 10:00 ET Wolverines (-) over Bruins- The idea that UCLA is playing for a spot in the Final-4 has left many experts with reds faces. First, we heard how no team with an extra play-in game has never won more than one game in the tournament and here we are with Bruins wins over Michigan State, BYU, Abilene Christian and Alabama. UCLA is extremely quick and have great 'hands' on the ball defensively but the Wolverines play the same tough defense that has kept the total 'Under' in 12 of their last 14 games overall and are 13-4-2 ATS in their last 19 NCAA Tournament games as favorites. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||
03-30-21 | 76ers +5 v. Nuggets | Top | 95-104 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
Philadelphia at Denver 9:00 ET 76ers (+) over Nuggets- With or without Joel Embiid the 76ers have gone from one of the worst road teams in the NBA both SU and ATS to a team that is now formidable on the road. Philadelphia is 13-10 SU aways from 'Liberty City' and is 3-1 on their current trip with the loss coming at the Clippers Saturday night' and are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Denver is just 6-15-1 ATS following a win of 10-points or more but the kicker is that the Sixers are 15-4-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Denver. Take PHILADELPHIA! |

03-30-21 | USC +8.5 v. Gonzaga | 66-85 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
USC vs Gonzaga 7:15 ET Trojans (+) over Bulldogs- Southern Cal knows how to play defense as they have held their last seven opponents under 40% shooting from the floor and they will be tested by the nation's leading scoring team averaging 90.5 PPG. Undefeated Gonzaga has 'covered' all three NCAA tourney with little competition presented to them so far. The Bulldogs lead the country in 2-point field goals shooting percentage at an amazing 63.6 while the Trojan defense holds opponents to 41.5% on field goal tries. This one will be closer than most think. Take USC! |

03-29-21 | Bulls -111 v. Warriors | 102-116 | Loss | -111 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Chicago at Golden State 10:00 ET Bulls over Warriors- Both of these clubs enter this fray on losing streaks as Chicago has dropped their last three and Golden State has lost their last four. Things don't look very bright for the Warriors as Stephen Curry sits with an injury and they are just 1-6 without him and this trend is reflected in the line which opened with the Bulls favored on the road. That is bad new for the home team as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six games as home underdogs. Take CHICAGO! |

03-29-21 | Arkansas v. Baylor -7.5 | Top | 72-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 53 m | Show |
Arkansas vs Baylor 10:00 ET Bears (-) over Razorbacks- Baylor has been ranked No. 2 or 3 the entire season despite losing 23 days of action because of virus issues and it has taken them four weeks since returning to play before they got their 'mojo' back. And they have it back now! The Bears are 9-3 ATS on neutral sites and 21-10 ATS against winning teams above 60%. Granted Arkansas is no push-over, as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. This one is just about the Bears coming together at the right time. Take BAYLOR! |

03-29-21 | Kings +2.5 v. Spurs | 132-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Sacramento at San Antonio 8:30 ET Kings (+) over Spurs- After blowing a huge second-half lead to the Clippers the Spurs rebounded with their best game of the season against the Bulls shooting over 65% deep into the third quarter while building a 36-point lead. Don't expect anything close to that tonight as the Kings enter San Antonio on a 4-game win streak. Sacramento has played surprisingly well and have 5-2 in their last seven games overall while the Spurs are 12-27 ATS in their last 39 games as home favorites. Add that the Kings are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 meetings in San Antonio and 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings as well. Take SACRAMENTO! |

New Orleans at Boston 7:30 ET Pelicans (+) over Celtics- Boston returns to the TD Garden having won their last two on the road to rise to the .500 level after having lost five of six. New Orleans has won 3-of-4 and is 6-2 ATS if their last eight games overall. The Celtics start a seven-game home stand and this will be the first game with limited number of fans allowed to attend. Boston has been very inconsistent going 2-11 ATS after a SU win and are 0-6 ATS after a win of 10 points or more. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

03-29-21 | Oregon State v. Houston -7.5 | 61-67 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Oregon State vs Houston 7:15 ET Cougars (+) over Beavers- Houston has a chance to make the Final Four for the first time in nearly forty years and if the do it will have been the first team to get their by only beating double-digit seeds. The Cougars have defeated No. 10 Rutgers, No. 11 Syracuse and will now dispose of No. 12 Oregon State. Hey, how about the Pac-12 being rated the worst major conference in the nation leading the pack with four teams among the Sweet-16. They lost one club last night when it took another Pac-12 club tp eliminate Oregon as USC advances. Okay, the Beavers are the biggest surprise of the tourney as they wouldn't have qualified if not for winning the conference playoffs. The dam brakes here and the Beavers get trapped. Take HOUSTON! |

03-28-21 | Oregon v. USC -130 | 68-82 | Win | 100 | 12 h 24 m | Show | |
Oregon vs USC 9:45 ET Trojans (+) over Ducks- After having blasted the Pac-12's level of play all season the NCAA figured a way to eliminate teams for the conference by getting them to play one another. Oregon who has won 10 of their last 11 incurred that loss in LA when USC trounced the Ducks 72-58 in their only meeting this season. Oregon has an impressive resume as the are 14-4 ATS at neutral site and 15-5-1 in their last 21 NCAA tournament games. USC has also excelled on Neutral site going 18-8 ATS and 9-2 ATS as favorites and the favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take USC (ML) |

03-28-21 | Hawks +4.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 102-126 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 1 m | Show |
Atlanta at Denver 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Nuggets- Denver is one of the teams that was very active before the trade deadline and has a slew of players that are gone and three new ones to take their place. Gone are a pair of guards and a center and the additions are Aaron Gordon, Gary Clark from Orlando and center JaVale McGee from Cleveland. They may have gain something on the talent level but I don't see how they would all be able to mess together their first game out. Atlanta is 4-1 ATS their last five trios to Denver and are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Hawks soar in 'Mile High City'...taker ATLANTA |

03-28-21 | UCLA +7 v. Alabama | 88-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
UCLA vs Alabama 7:15 ET Bruins (+) over Crimson Tide- UCLA closed their season with four straight losses before getting a chance as an 11th seed play-in game team and defeated Michigan State. Note, that all four losses came against tournament teams in Colorado, Oregon, USC and Oregon State as of which advanced in the tourney with at least one win. No team that has had to play that extra play-in game have ever advanced to the Elite-8 so the odds are daunting for the Bruins. UCLA is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 as underdogs but just 10-21 ATS as neutral site dogs. Take UCLA! |

Florida State vs Michigan 5:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Wolverines- This one could end up the best game of the day as No. 1 seed Michigan hosts No. 4 Florida State. Michigan who will be without their best shooting guard Isaiah Livers (43.1% from 3-point range) but finished top rated status with FG (48.5%), free throw (78%) and 3-points (38.5%). Florida State prides itself on their defense holding opponents to 39.3% FG on the season and seem to play their best in this position. Florida State is not only 3-1-1 ATS in their last five as NCAA Tourney underdogs they are 21-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs. Tale the SEMINOLES! |

03-27-21 | 76ers v. Clippers -4.5 | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Clippers (-) over 76ers- Would you believe that the 76ers have gone 8-1 straight-up in the last nine meetings against the Clippers while going 9-0 ATS. Philadelphia is the hot club with or without Joel Embiid having won their last four and 10 of their last 11 overall. Doc Rivers has this club playing well on the road compared to past seasons when they were under 30% Sixers are 12-3-1 ATS last-16 games overall. LA has a 4-game win streak of their own going and have been playing short-handed but are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

03-27-21 | Syracuse v. Houston -6.5 | 46-62 | Win | 100 | 29 h 10 m | Show | |
Syracuse vs Houston 10:00 ET Cougars (-) over Orange- No. 2 seed Houston was fortunate to escape Rutgers pressure defense out-scoring the Scarlet Knights 14-2 down the stretch to eek out a 63-60 victory. Syracuse an 11-seed is familiar with double-digit seeds in the NCAA's and have made the Sweet-16 under coach Jim Boeheim 20 times last winning the gold led by freshman Carmelo Anthony. Houston is seeded No.2 for a reason despite not having played the schedule the level of Syracuse they have won nine straight and will smother Buddy Boeheim on defense. Take HOUSTON! |

03-27-21 | Mavs v. Pelicans +1 | Top | 103-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show |
Dallas at New Orleans 9:00 ET Pelicans (-) over Mavericks- It looks to me like the Mavericks are pulling up lame when they play weaker clubs as they are 7-19 ATS against teams with losing records and they are 1-5 ATS playing with no rest. New Orleans who is vastly improved from the start of the season is 10-4 ATS as home underdogs and 5-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take the PELICANS! |

03-27-21 | Bulls +2 v. Spurs | 104-120 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Chicago at San Antonio 8:30 ET Bulls (+) over Spurs- Last time out it looked like the Spurs were on their way to an upset win against the LA Clippers until they just stopped playing in the second half scoring just 30 total points. Chicago meanwhile had second half woes of their own as the fell to lowly Cleveland 103-94 at home on Wednesday. The Bulls were active before the trade deadline acquiring All-star center Nikola Vucevic and forward Farouq Aminu. Chicago is 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games as underdogs and 8-3 ATS following a SU loss. San Antonio is 11-27 ATS in their last 38 games as home favorites. Take the BULLS! |

03-27-21 | Oral Roberts v. Arkansas -11 | 70-72 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 41 m | Show | |
Oral Roberts vs Arkansas 7:25 ET Razorbacks (-) over Golden Eagles- Back in December these two met in Fayetteville and the Razorbacks (-19.5) prevailed 87-76 but this time the Eagles are on a 7-game win streak going 6-0 ATS in their last six overall with wins over Ohio State and Florida. Arkansas meanwhile slept walked through their win over Colgate and then nipped Texas Tech 68-66 after losing to LSU in the SEC tourney. Razorbacks are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as favorites. Take ARKANSAS! |

Mississippi State vs Louisiana Tech 3:00 ET LT Bulldogs (+) over MS Bulldogs- A pair of No. 4 seeds meet but the only reason MSU got anything that high is because of the SEC strength of schedule, but they aren't all that good. LT is 23-7 and isn't worried about the SEC as they opened the tournament with a 70-61 won over Mississippi. Tech is 15-3 in their last 18 contests. Imposter MSU is 2-9 ATS after SU win while LT is 11-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take LOUISIANA TECH! |

Oregon State vs Loyola-Chicago 2:40 ET Ramblers (-) over Beavers- Oregon State was picked to finish 12th in the Pac-12 and are a 12-seed here against No. 8 Loyola-Chicago and are one of the biggest surprises of all Tournament teams (except ORU). The Beavers are 20-9-1 ATS on the season and 19-6 ATS in their last 25 although they rank 213th on offense. I mention that because the Ramblers the nation's leader in defensive points allowed at only 55.7 PPG and I still believe in defense. Sister Jean remember the only meeting between these two on Dec. 31, 1927 a 30-19 Loyola victory. They do it again...LOYOLA-CHICAGO! |

Indiana at Dallas 8:30 ET Pacers (+) over Mavericks- Since dealing with COVID issues and with the return to action of Kristaps Porzingis the Mavericks have won 14 of 19 and are 6-2 ATS in their last eight meetings with the Pacers. Indiana who has one of the worst ATS records in the NBA at 17-26 is off a win over Detroit with Caris LeVert leading the way with 28 points. LeVert's return to action is a huge boost for Indiana that has been playing a man short all season. Dallas is just 3-8 ATS after a SU win and should come back here. Take INDIANA! |

03-26-21 | Nuggets -125 v. Pelicans | 113-108 | Win | 100 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Denver at New Orleans 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans is beginning to look like a real NBA basketball team as they are led by 20-year-old (Yep) Zion Williamson who has had 21 straight games scoring 20 points or more the most by any player not of legal voting age. The Pelicans won at Denver 113-108 on Sunday and posted another win over the Lakers Tuesday and tonight they host the Nuggets who were just blown out by Toronto their most lopsided loss of the season. The trends are pretty much behind the Pelicans as they are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but after their loss to the Raptors I expect a better effort tonight. Take DENVER! |

03-26-21 | Celtics +6 v. Bucks | 122-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Boston at Milwaukee 7:30 ET Bucks (-) over Celtics- The beat goes on as the Celtics continue their poor play on the road and the Bucks continue with the NBA's longest current win streak at eight. Boston fell to Milwaukee two nights ago 121-119 and are now 1-5 in their last six games and are 2-9 SU on the road in their last 11. The Bucks who are the leading offensive team in the league are just 5-11 ATS after scoring 100 or more points in their previous game. Note, that the Celtics are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and will rise tonight. Take BOSTON! |

Philadelphia at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over 76ers- The Lakers are reeling and without LeBron James things do not look like they will get any better soon. James left in the third quarter of the Lakers loss to Atlanta Saturday afternoon and they lost the next two Phoenix and New Orleans by 17-points and were never in either contest. Philadelphia with or without Joel Embiid are streaking with three straight wins and 9-of-10 including 8-1- ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take LOS ANGELES! |

03-25-21 | Louisiana Tech -106 v. Western Kentucky | 72-65 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
Louisiana Tech vs Western Kentucky 10:00 ET Bulldogs over Hilltoppers- For some unexplained reason the oddsmakers and public really seem to favor Western Kentucky and I don't just mean here with this game but it was a pattern all season long. Although they were 21-7 SU on the season but they weren't as impressive ATS going 13-15. Louisiana Tech who is 22-7 on the season was an impressive 18-10 ATS playing against stronger competition and are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 overall. Take LOUISIANA TECH! |

L.A. Clippers at San Antonio 8:00 ET Spurs (+) over Clippers- Los Angeles has won three straight including a 134-101 rout of the Spurs last night when they took over early and just ran the Spurs out of the arena. There is good news and bad news for the home team here as the Clippers are just 2-6 ATS after a SU win but they are also 7-0 playing with no rest. There are good signs around San Antonio as they are 6-2 ATS after a double-digit loss at home and they are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 games as underdogs. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

03-25-21 | Wizards +3.5 v. Knicks | 102-106 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Washington at New York 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Knicks- New York is back at .500 and is still No. 1 on defensive points allowed holding opponents to 105 PPG while the Wizards who the Knicks destroyed 131-113 Tuesday night as they meet again. Despite that loss Washington has some solid numbers when facing their division rival as they are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 visits to MSG and they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine on the road. The Knicks are a different team than we have seen the past two decades and are 7-1 ATS as home favorites and have a pair of 18-point wins over Washington this season, but the Wiz will wave their wands and get the money here. Take WASHINGTON! |

N.C. State vs Colorado State 7:00 ET Rams (+) over Wolfpack- The Rams have had a decent season winning 19 of 25 games playing a schedule that doesn't compare with the riggers that NC State must go through. The Wolfpack are an unimpressive 14-10 winning six of their last seven to climb above .500. Although the Pack played a harder schedule you have to win more of those games against tougher competition. NC State is just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as favorites and not for nothin the Rams are 26-9 on Thursdays. Take COLORADO STATE |

03-25-21 | Mississippi State v. Richmond +2.5 | 68-67 | Win | 100 | 7 h 25 m | Show | |
Mississippi State vs Richmond 6:00 ET Spiders (+) over Bulldogs- Mississippi State bounced back from their humbling 85-48 loss to Alabama in the SEC tourney with a 74-68 win over St. Louis in the first round of the NIT. The problem for the Bulldogs (not only their atrocious offense) but they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games after a SU win. Richmond who lost to St. Louis 72-67 a month ago is off a stellar performance against Toledo in Rd 1 of NIT 76-66. The Spiders are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs at neutral sites. Take RICHMOND! |

03-24-21 | Nets v. Jazz -9.5 | Top | 88-118 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
Brooklyn at Utah 8:30 ET Jazz (-) over Nets- Now, this is the most ridiculous line I have seen this season! Let me check the 'number' surrounding this one. Brooklyn last I checked is one of the 'hottest' teams in the NBA winning 8-of-9 and is off another short-handed (Irving only plays after a winning day at the track...he's been a no-show of late) win last night at Portland and trail only Philadelphia by 1-game in the East. Utah who had the most incredible run going 21-2 ATS have come back to the pack so to speak. With the streak over the Jazz were 1-6 ATS before a 120-95 win over Chicago on Monday. Add that the Nets are 9-1 ATS Last-10 on the road and 6-1 ATS as underdogs makes this line even more absurd. But the Jazz are 13-3 ATS as home favorites last 16 and are 8-3 ATS hosting Brooklyn. Take UTAH! |

03-24-21 | Nuggets v. Raptors +2.5 | 111-135 | Win | 100 | 9 h 50 m | Show | |
Denver vs Toronto 7:30 ET Raptors (+) over Nuggets- Talk about 'ships passing in the night' these two clubs are heading in opposite directions and at a rapid pace. To start with Toronto has lost nine straight games while the Nuggets have won nine of their last 11 including a 110-99 win at Orlando last night. The Raptors lost to Houston on Monday who had lost 20 straight games and now they have the NBA's longest losing streak. The Nuggets who are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games are just 6-`14-1 in their last 21 games after a win of 10-points or more. Although they have lost nine straight the Raptors are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games with one day's rest and after their humiliating loss to the Rockets they rebound here. Take TORONTO! |

Brooklyn at Portland 10:00 ET Trailblazers (-) over Nets- Oh...Okay, this week “He” has to 'tend to a family matter' so Kyrie Irving will not be making this trip west with the rest of the Nets. I'm being to wonder if the Brooklyn team members are beginning to to moan about “His” work ethic which really doesn't exist. James Harden is the only one of the 'Big Three' that comes to play every night as Durant and Irving find other thing to occupy their time. Portland should be ready to play after getting trounced 132-92 by the Mavericks (Power Play winner) Sunday night and are 4-1 ATS after SU loss of 10-points or more. Take PORTLAND! |

03-23-21 | Suns v. Heat +2 | Top | 110-100 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Phoenix at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (+) over Suns- These two clubs are doing what they both have been up to the entire season in that the Suns continue to rise and are both 28-13 SU and ATS and have won 8-of-their-last-10 while the inconsistent Heat have cooled down losing their last three. Miami's biggest problem is their lack of 3-point shooting which is the best asset for Phoenix and both play tough defense. Miami is a team of character and after three straight losses will rally against a team they have dominated through the years. The Heat are 6-2 ATS in the last eight games versus the Suns as hosts and 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings overall. Take MIAMI! |

03-23-21 | Pepperdine -4 v. Bellarmine | 82-71 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Pepperdine vs Bellarmine 8:00 ET Waves (-) over Knights- Well, at least I've heard of Pepperdine and have actually seen them play basketball and few times when they came to play UNLV (ah those were the days when you could actually attend a game). Bellarmine it seems is a small Catholic school in Louisville, Kentucky with just 2,488 students at least five of which play basketball and well enough to win 14 of 21 games this season including an pair of wins over Kennesaw State, Jacksonville State and Northern Arizona and a tournament win over Army. The Wave meanwhile at 13-12 have had a year of ebb and flow but have gone 15-7-1 ATS on the season and are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 overall. The tide is high for the Wave at neutral sites where they are 15-2-2 ATS while the Knights will get weighed down with all that armor they are wearing. Take PEPPERDINE |

03-23-21 | Wizards +3 v. Knicks | 113-131 | Loss | -113 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Washington at New York 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Knicks- I think that it is time for the oddsmakers to catch up to the Knicks and their improvement this season. But, after winning 8-of-11 the Knicks have fallen in 3-of-4 all to top NBA teams and have fallen under the break even mark once again. Washington has dropped 6-of-7 since a 2-point win over the Clippers has the high scoring guard duo in Westbrook and Beal are up against the league top scoring defense allowing just 104.7 PPG. The Knicks won the first meeting 109-91 in Washington as Beal was still absent. This time the Wizards perform magic. Take WASHINGTON! |

Atlanta at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Hawks (+) over Clippers- The Hawks are flying high having won their last eight including a Saturday after win at Los Angeles over the Lakers 99-94 and are looking for a sweep at Staples Arena. Nate McMillan is now 8-0 since taking over the coaching and started stressing defense. Atlanta is 5-2 ATS their last seven trips against the Clippers who are 0-6 ATS after a SU win.Los Angeles likely will be playing without starters Patrick Beverley and Serge Ibaka. Beverley has missed the last four games with right knee soreness, while Ibaka has missed the last three games due to lower back tightness. Take the HAWKS! |

03-22-21 | USC -120 v. Kansas | Top | 85-51 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
USC vs Kansas 9:40 ET Trojans (+) over Jayhawks- My first impression here is to ask why the sixth seed USC is favored over the third seed Kansas? The Jayhawks were booted out of the Big-12 Tournament as COVID protocols had them sidelined after a win over Oklahoma. USC meanwhile recovered from a 72-70 Pac-12 loss to Colorado before eliminating Drake last time out. The Trojans are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 games at neutral sites and the Jayhawks are 0-4 ATS in neutral sites when underdogs. Take SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! |

03-22-21 | Ohio v. Creighton -5 | 58-72 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Ohio vs Creighton 6:40 ET Blue Jays (-) over Bobcats- Ohio overcame a 38-31 deficit with a 16-2 run over a weakened Virginia team that had no practice time and players down with virus protocol. Creighton has had their own issues with their coach getting suspended because of racial slurs made to players at practice and eked by Cal-Santa Barbara 63-62 after getting blasted by 25 points in the Big East Tournament by Georgetown 73-48. The Blue Jays were believed to be the class of the Big East until their late season stumble and still are. Take CREIGHTON! |

Dallas at Portland 10:00 ET Mavericks over Trailblazers- Portland has put together a mini 3-game home winning streak defeating New Orleans twice and these same Mavericks as a +2.5-point dogs 125-119 on Friday. CJ McCullum has returned to action and hasn't disrupted the Trailblazers offensive flow scoring 125 points twice. Dallas who has seen the return of an impactful player as well with Porzingis now at full strength and the dominance of Luca Doncic are looking to gain a win over the Blazers after a pair of losses already this season. Dallas is 4-0 ATS after a SU loss and 27-10 ATS in the last 27 meetings and 7-2 ATS in the last nine games in Portland. Take DALLAS! |

Texas Tech meanwhile recovered from a slow start against Utah State and used a strong second half to take down the Aggies 65-53 using their own 13-0 run early second half run to easily win. Although Tech is 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games overall they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven VCAA Tournament games while the Razorbacks are 2-5 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games.

New Orleans just dropped a pair of games at Portland the first of which after blowing a 17-point fourth quarter lead. The Pelicans are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as underdogs and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven meetings against the Nuggets. Denver is just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as favorites.

Wisconsin vs Baylor 2:30 ET Badgers (+) over Bears- No. 1 seed Baylor had their undefeated season (18-0) side tracked when they were hit with COVID protocols and had a three week recovery period and haven't been the same since. The Bears showed signs of their former level of play in their opening round 79-55 win over Hartford. Wisconsin meanwhile is the sole Big Ten left if the region as both Purdue and Ohio State were upset on Saturday. The Badgers are 10-4-3 ATS in their last 17 games as neutral site underdogs and 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. Baylor is 1-5 ATS in NCAA Tournament games when favored. Take WISCONSIN! |

Loyola-Chicago vs Illinois 1:00 ET Ramblers (+) over Illini- Many see this as the biggest game in the 'Land of Lincoln' this season as No. 1 seed Illinois will host Loyola-Chicago the 8th seed with the winner advancing to the Sweet-16. These two met in the postseason in the 1963 NCAA Tournament and the Ramblers won on their way to the National Championship and the look to return to the Finals for the second time in four years.

03-20-21 | UCLA v. BYU -3.5 | 73-62 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 9 m | Show | |
UCLA vs BYU 9:40 ET Cougars (-) over Bruins- UCLA was a huge winner for 'us' coming from 14-points behind in the second half to win in overtime defeating Michigan State for their first win in four years. The Bruins had lost four straight before their rally against the Spartans but they have been inconsistent all season and will fall to a more disciplined squad here. UCLA is 9-21 ATS in the last 3-games on neutral sites and now 3-7 ATS in their last 10 as NCAA underdogs. BYU finished the season with a conference finals loss to Gonzaga 88-78 the closest game for the Bulldogs all season and are 35-17-1 ATS in their last 53 games following a SU loss.

Atlanta at L.A. Lakers 3:30 ET Hawks (+) over Lakers- Both clubs have regained their winning ways as the Hawks fly into LA on a seven-game win streak and the Lakers after a short lull have won their last four. Los Angeles is of course doing it without Anthony Davis who has missed the last 13 games and the Lakers are 11-7 SU overall in his absence. Also sidelined is Marc Gasol and we know Lebron is a beast but he needs more help. This one should go down to the final buzzer. Take ATLANTA |

St. Bonaventure vs L.S.U. 1:45 ET Bonnies (+) over Tigers- This is the one that gets to me on Saturday as LSU from the big and bad SEC is barely favored over an Atlantic-10 team that hasn't been to the 'Big Dance' since 1996. The Tigers are off an 80-79 loss in the SEC Finals to Alabama has left them wounded while St. Bonaventure is buoyed by the fact that they are a 'double-champion' winning both the regular season and conference championships. Bonnies are 10-1 ATS at neutral sites and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall. LSU is just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites. Take ST. BONAVENTURE! |

03-19-21 | Rutgers v. Clemson +2 | 60-56 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
Rutgers vs Clemson 9:20 ET Tigers (+) over Scarlet Knights- This matchup is one of the more confusing encounters with No. 7 seed Clemson an underdog to No. 10 Rutgers who is making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 30 years. That caught my attention because I believe that the oddsmaker knows more than the seeding committee and they made the lower seeded team the favorite. Okay, so why is the public running toward the Scarlet Knights? Clemson has won six of their last eight games and are 6-1 ATS at neutral sites and 19-7-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and the Knights are 1-4 ATS in their last five games on neutral sites. Take CLEMSON! |

The Jazz after a 22-2 SU run have lost five of their last eight games including a 131-122 loss to Washington last night. The Jazz are now 8-17-2 ATS after a SU loss. Toronto has dropped their last six games and 8-of-9 but are seeing some of their injured return to the lineup as Fred VanVleet and Pascal Siaham are back in play. The Raptors are 6-1 ATS over the Jazz as hosts and 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings overall. Take TORONTO! |

Wisconsin vs North Carolina 7:10 ET Badgers (+) over Tar Heels- Both of these clubs have been nothing if not underwhelming and their respective seeding with North Carolina No. 8 and Wisconsin No. 9 and each with double-digit losses on the season. This is the third NCAA Tournament meeting between these two but the others were deeper into the tourney meeting in 2005 in the Elite Eight with the Tar Heels winning and 2016 Sweet-16 win for the Badgers. Wisconsin played on this floor in Mackey Area losing to Purdue on March 2. The varmints are 14-6-2 ATS in their 22 NCAA Tournament games and 9-4-3 ATS as underdogs at neutral sites. Tar Heels are just 1-4 ATS in their last five tournament games. Take WISCONSIN! |

Tennessee the disgusting Volunteers who blew a 15-point second-half lead to Alabama and are blessed with a 5-seed because the Beavers don't belong here and will get skinned. Vols looking to complete the task against a case of 'mistaken identity'...Beavers are imposters and will get pelted here. Take TENNESSEE! |

Charlotte at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Hornets (+) over Lakers- The Lakers have won three in-a-row while Charlotte had their 4-game winning streak stopped last night at Denver getting trounced 125-104. With no player logging more than 27 minutes playing time last night the Hornets should still have strong legs for the second game of the back-to-backs as they are 13-6 ATS when playing with no rest and 11-1 ATS after an ATS loss. Note that the Hornets are 10-4-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Los Angeles. Take CHARLOTTE! |

UCLA vs Michigan State 10:00 ET Bruins (+) over Spartans- These two perennial college basketball powers are in a play-in game as 11 seeds. They both limping into the tournament and are both lucky to be here as the Spartans finished under .500 in Big Ten action and UCLA was comes in losing their last four games overall. UCLA has five players that average double figures in scoring and lead the NCAA in offensive efficiency but their slow and deliberate play has keep their overall scoring low. The Bruins are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall but are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdogs.

POWER PLAY Minnesota at Phoenix 10:10 ET Timberwolves (+) over Suns- The Suns have won 18 of their last 22 games including a 118-99 win over Minnesota on the last day of February. Under new coaching the T'wolves seem to be playing better as they are 3-1 ATS after going eight straight games without an ATS win. Tough spot for Minny as the Suns are hot at home going 25-10 ATS in their last 35 games as favorites. Still, it's the spot for Wolves. Take MINNESOTA |

The first time they met this season Portland prevailed 126-124 overcoming a 15-point deficit in that one.

NC State vs Davidson 7:00 ET Wildcats over Wolfpack- Where is Stephen Curry...I'm sure he graduated out of Davidson (yes he got his degree) but how else is this Atlantic-10 conference team that is just 13-8 on the season favored over an ACC team. Granted NC State hasn't had the best of seasons but the level of teams they play are far superior. The Wolfpack are just 4-9-2 ATS against teams win SU winning records while the Wildcats are 8-2 ATS after a SU loss. Take DAVIDSON! |

Drake vs Wichita State 6:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Shockers- Another NCAA play-in game pits AAC regular season champion Wichita State who landed on the bubble after losing to Cincinnati.

Drake is 20-6-1 ATS ojn the season and are 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 games on neutral sites. After their quick start the Shockers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take DRAKE! |

Clippers at Dallas 9:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Clippers- This is the second of back-to-back meetings with the Clippers winning Monday's game 109-99 gaining revenge for a 124-73 beating inflicted by the Mavericks last December. DaIlas managed to get to the free throw line for just five foul shots on Monday and coach Rick Carlisle has pointed out that they will have to be more aggressive and go to the hoop to be successful. Inconsistent LA is 0-5 after a SU win and 1-4 ATS in their last five road games with their lone 'cover' coming in the first meeting two days ago. Dallas is 5-0 ATS in their last five games after a loss and get the money here. Take the MAVERICKS! |

Power Play Toronto at Detroit 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- Toronto has lost five straight and 7-of-9 and the loss that tipped off their most recent losing streak started with a home loss to the Pistons two weeks ago. Sure, the Raptors look to even the score against lowly Detroit but have three players sidelined because of the league protocol restrictions and their reserves haven't been able to pick up the slack. The Pistons are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit home loss and are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games following an ATS loss. Take DETROIT! |

Brooklyn at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Nets- Brooklyn is on a 13-1 run that started with a 104-94 home win over the Pacers back on February 10 and have won their last five overall and seven straight on the road. Indiana on the other hand has gone 2-7 SU in their last seven games after reaching the .500 mark. To obtain James Harden the Nets had to give up some young talent and one of the key players to go to Indiana is Caris LeVert who has back in action after a major health scare. Although the Pacers are just 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs this line is way low and they are 10-4 ATS against the nets in the last 14 meetings. Take INDIANA! |

Toledo vs Richmond 7:00 ET Spiders (+) over Rockets- Interesting NIT match-up as both of these team know how to score the basketball. Toledo is 15th in the nation averaging 81.3 points per game and Richmond isn't far behind are 75.6 PPG. Both clubs shot well from the free throw line and from the field and have excellent ATS records.

New Orleans at Portland 10:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Trailblazers- I understand that the Pelicans are an improved basketball team and Zion Williamson who now leads the NBA in shooting percentage (65.4) but in order to win the wager here New Orleans will need virtually need to win the game outright and that is a lot to ask as they are just 5-12 SU on the road. Portland who has been inconsistent of late losing 6-of-10 welcomes the return of CJ McCollum out for two months with a broken foot who was averaging 26.7 points before his injury. But, sometimes less is more as CJ joins the flow the Trailblazers might have trouble taking the ball out of Damian Lillard hands. NO is 4-1 ATS in their last five as underdogs and 5-2 ATS at Portland while the Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as home favorites. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

L.A. Lakers at Golden State 10:30 ET Warriors (+) over Lakers- Los Angeles opened the second half of their season with a win over Indiana 105-101 only their fourth win in 10 games without Anthony Davis in the lineup. LeBron James had 18 points and 10 assists and it obvious that he can't do it alone and with Marc Gasol out because COVID reasons and Alex Caruso out with a concussion the Lakers remain short-handed and lack to firepower needed to stay with Stephen Curry. LA is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and the Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games. Take GOLDEN STATE! |

NBA Power Play Winner Indiana at Denver 9:00 ET Pacers (+) over Nuggets- Indiana ended a 7-games ATS losing streak with a 122-111 win at Phoenix Saturday night as they were aided with the Pacers debut of Caris LeVert who contributed 13 points and added a spark and depth to a clubs that has been short handed all season. Now, it is the Nuggets that are short-handed as Monte Morris is sidelined and Jamal Murray has been slumping. Without LeVert the Pacers were 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games but have added confidence with his return to action. Denver is 1-4 ATS in their last five home games and the Pacers are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Take INDIANA! |

NBA Money Game Winner Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 ET Kings (+) over Hornets- It has been a long hard road for the Hornets but they have finally moved over the .500 mark and at 19-18 they believe that best basketball is in front of them. For Sacramento their best basketball can only be in front of them as they continue to struggle on defense ranked 30th allowing 120 points per game. This 'line' seems awful short to me as the Kings are just 3-13 ATS in their last 15 games overall and 1-7 as underdogs. Charlotte is 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games but just 1-6 ATS after a SU win. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Georgia Tech vs Florida State 8:30 ET Yellow Jackets vs Seminoles- Florida State is in the unique position with a 'double-bye' and COVID issues of having to win only two games to be crown ACC champions.

Oklahoma State vs Texas 6:00 ET Longhorns (+) over Cowboys- Both clubs moved up the Big-12 pecking order as the conference two top seed are out and for different reasons. Texas was able to advance to the Finals without making a shot as Kansas had player testing positive for the virus and Oklahoma State did it with usual way by defeating Baylor 83-74 last night. It seems a bit off that the Longhorns opened the favorite here and that is a bit of a surprise as OK St is 16-56 ATS as underdogs and Texas is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall as favorites but the dog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.

Tennessee vs Alabama 1:00 ET Volunteers (+) over Crimson Tide- One of these teams will reach the SEC title and 'we' are wondering if either of them will know what to do when they get there as it have been decades since either school have won the SEC Championship.
