02-14-17 | Kings v. Lakers -2 | 97-96 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 52 m | Show | |
Sacramento at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers over Kings- The Kings have started to play better basketball and are on a three-game wining streak with or without DeMarcus Cousins. Cousins is just one technical foul away from his second suspension and is complaining 'I can't be myself' which might actually be a good thing. These two clubs have split two meetings so season but the Kings have won eight of the past nine bringing me to the spread on this contest. The Lakes opened the favorite and that seems a but odd. So, take LOS ANGELES! |

02-14-17 | Boise State +2.5 v. New Mexico | Top | 73-78 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 47 m | Show |
Boise State at New Mexico 10:00 ET Broncos (+) over Lobos- New Mexico is known for their strong home court (The Pit) but although they are 9-3 straight-up as hosts they are just 2-7 ATS. Boise State is 7-5 straight-up on the road and 7-4-1 ATS. The MWC plays most weekday games on Tuesday and here where the problems start for the Lobos as they are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 Tuesday games while the Broncos are 7-2 ATS on the same day. New Mexico has held a series advantage (8-3-1 ATS in last 11) but are not the same quality as previous seasons. Take BOISE STATE! |

02-14-17 | Penn State v. Nebraska -3.5 | 66-82 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Penn State at Nebraska 9:00 ET Cornhuskers (-) over Nittany Lions- Penn State is off two huge wins one of them over Ranked Maryland and now has two straight wins after dropping five of their previous six. The Lions have won three of the last four meetings but are 0-4 in Big Ten games in Lincoln and are 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. After starting 3-0 in conference play the Cornhuskers have dropped eight of nine but will regroup against a club 'high' off their recent wins. Take NEBRASKA! |

02-14-17 | Colorado State +1 v. Wyoming | Top | 78-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Colorado State at Wyoming 9:00 ET Rams (+) over Cowboys- Colorado State has won their last three and trails Mountain West leader Boise State by only a game in the loss column as they meetings Wyoming for the first time this season. The Cowboys have won the last five meetings both straight-up and ATS including an 84-66 pounding the last time they played here. The home team is 10-3 the last 13 meetings and the favorite (if there is one here) is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. To counter this the Rams are 8-1 ATS in their last nine home games and get the cash here. Take COLORADO STATE! |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Raptors -6.5 v. Bulls | 94-105 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Toronto at Chicago 8:00 ET Raptors (-) over Bulls- The Raptors have lost their last two including a 102-101 home loss to Detroit where they blew a 16-point fourth quarter lead. Chicago meanwhile is without the services of Jimmy Butler who has missed four of the last five games and Dwyane Wade who has missed two of the last three along with two other roll players that are day-to-day. I't doesn't make sense that Toronto who is 0-5 ATS in their last five trips to Chicago would be such a favorite. Take the RAPTORS. |
|||||||
02-14-17 | Cavs v. Wolves +5 | Top | 116-108 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
Cleveland at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Cavaliers- Since LeBron James voiced a need for more back court help the Cavaliers have won seven of nine including a 125-97 home win over the Timberwolves. Kevin Love wasn't available for that encounter and he won't be available tonight either for Cleveland who have won eight of the last 11 ATS in Minnesota. The Wolves will be without Zach Lavine but his replacement Shabazz Muhammad has hit double figures in four of his last five games since Lavine went down. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | West Virginia +5.5 v. Kansas | Top | 80-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
West Virginia at Kansas 9:00 ET Mountaineers (+) over Jayhawks- The Jayhawks who are ranked No. 3 were given a No.1 seed and No. 2 overall seed by the first ever NCAA Championship Selection Committee preliminary release of March Madness bracket on Saturday although they are just 7-15 -1 ATS on the season. Meanwhile, West Virginia who posted an 85-69 win over Kansas in Morgantown looks to close the conference gap (2-games). The Mountaineers are 7-3 straight-up and 6-4 ATS on the road and will come up big here once again. Take WEST VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | Celtics v. Mavs +2.5 | 111-98 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Boston at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Celtics- The Celtics has won their last two on this four-game road trip that ends tonight in Dallas. The problem for Boston is that they will be without guard Avery Bradley, forward Jae Crowder and rookie Jaylen Brown. Dallas after a pitiful start are working their way into playoff position and have won eight of their last 11 and six straight at home. As a matter of fact the Mavericks have won the last six meetings in Dallas as they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | 76ers v. Hornets -7.5 | 105-99 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (-) over 7ers- Have rolls been reversed here? Philadelphia with their three-headed center (Embiid, Okafor and Noel) has won their last two including breaking Miami's 13-game winning streak on Saturday. Charlotte on the other hand has dropped nine of their last 10 and are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. The problem here for the 76ers who are just 7-18 on the road is the Embiid has a meniscal tear and Jahlil Okafor will sit because of an impending trade. With the Hornets such a strong favorite Vegas believes they win big tonight and I agree. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | Spurs v. Pacers +4 | Top | 110-106 | Push | 0 | 8 h 41 m | Show |
San Antonio at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Spurs- The Spurs may have lost to the Knicks on yesterday but the Pacers have lost their last three and are 0-3 ATS in their last three at home. With one more win before the year ends San Antonio will set a league record with 20 straight winning seasons. Indiana despite their current woes are 6-1 ATS after a double-digit loss as they had a day off after playing six games in nine days. I like the Pacers to play well tonight. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | Louisville -3 v. Syracuse | 76-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Louisville at Syracuse 7:00 ET Cardinals (-) over Orange- Jim Boeheim is in his final season as Syracuse coach finishing his 41st year leading the Orange who are fighting back from a terrible start. So bad was the beginning of the season that Syracuse lost at home 93-60 against lowly St. Johns but haven't lost at home since. As a matter of fact the Orange are 14-2 overall at home and 9-2 ATS when playing as hosts. Louisville who has had difficulties keeping players on the court for various reasons welcomed the return of guard Quentin Snider leads the overall series 16-8. Take the CARDINALS! |
|||||||
02-13-17 | Baylor v. Texas Tech +3 | Top | 78-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show |
Baylor at Texas Tech 7:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Bears- The Baylor Bears win with tough defense and are 16-0 when scoring 70 points of more as they bring their 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games into Lubbock. Texas Tech is having one of their better seasons but have lost their last two contests including a one-point 80-79 loss to Kansas on Saturday. The Bears faithful were chanting 'We want Kansas' as they crushed TCU at home Saturday and that could be a problem. The Red Raiders opened the season 11-0 but have dropped five of their last six Big-12 games are 14-2 straight-up at home. With the Bears 'looking ahead' to Kansas on Saturday they get caught here. Take TEXAS TECH! |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Virginia -7 v. Virginia Tech | Top | 78-80 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 55 m | Show |
Virginia at Virginia Tech 6:30 ET Cavaliers (-) over Hokies- The Cavaliers are in a tough spot here coming off a huge win over Louisville and a match-up with Duke up next. This would be a place for a letdown but their opponent here is in-state rival Virginia Tech. Virginia has dominated the series of late winning nine of the last 10 meetings including a home win 71-48 10 days ago. Although the Gobblers are 16-6 ATS in their last 22 home games and the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings Virginia is 25-10-1 ATS in their last 36 games overall and Tech is just 54-90 all-time against the Cavs who rank first nationally in scoring defense allowing just 54 points per contest. Take VIRGINIA! |

02-12-17 | Pistons +7 v. Raptors | Top | 102-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 58 m | Show |
Detroit at Toronto 6:00 ET Pistons (+) over Raptors- The Raptors vacation is over. Toronto is off their first three-day break of the season after losing nine of their last 13. Detroit on the other hand despite losing to San Antonio on Wednesday have won four of their last five and are 5-1 ATS in their last six games playing on 1 days rest. The Pistons were out rebounded 39-22 by the Spurs who had 20 second-chance points and coach Stan Van Gundy said effort on the glass must improve. It will here. Take DETROIT! |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Bulls +2 v. Wolves | 89-117 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Chicago at Minnesota 3:30 ET Bulls (+) over Timberwolves- Both clubs are off losses with the Bulls dropping their last two as they finish as six-game road trip while Minnesota fell to 1-5 in their last six with a loss at New Orleans on Friday. Injuries have hit both teams with Zach Levine out for the Wolves and Wade and Butler hurting for Chicago. The Timberwolves have won the last three in this series and is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings but Chicago is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings in Minnesota. Take CHICAGO! |
|||||||
02-12-17 | Spurs v. Knicks +9 | 90-94 | Win | 100 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
San Antonio at New York 3:30 ET Knicks (+) over Spurs- I wonder if James Dolan the Knicks owner will show up at the 'Garden' for New York second nationally televised game this week. The first one didn't go so well not only on the scoreboard where the Knicks blew a 10-point fourth quarter lead against Denver but in the stands where former player Charles Oakley arrested for taunting the cable mogul. New York is 0-4 both straight-up and ATS on their home stand and coach Jeff Hornacek berated his club for their lack of 'concentration.' This time they stay focused. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Oregon v. USC +3 | Top | 81-70 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
Oregon at USC 10:30 ET Trojans (+) over Ducks- I can't tell you how impressed I was with the Ducks when watching the first half of their game against UCLA on Thursday a game they blew after holding a 19-point lead. Oregon defeated the Trojans by 23 points in their first meetings in December but USC has added 6-11 power forward Bennie Boatwright who is back in the fold after missing eight weeks of the season. Since his return the Trojans have won their last five and are playing with confidence. Play the hot club...take USC! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Celtics v. Jazz -6 | Top | 112-104 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 21 m | Show |
Boston at Utah 10:05 ET Jazz (-) over Celtics- Boston has won four of the last five in the series with the lone Utah win coming in Salt Lake City last season 111-93. As a matter of fact the Celtics are 8-2-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. While both teams have improved themselves it is the Jazz who have made the larger leap. Boston has the NBA's biggest 4th quarter threat in Isaiah Thomas who will up against the league's top scoring defense allowing just 95.7 points per. Only a late cold snap kept the Jazz from sweeping their three-game road trip as the fell to Dallas in overtime their last time out. This time they play a full 48-minutes and het the win. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Warriors v. Thunder +8 | 130-114 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 39 m | Show | |
Golden State at Oklahoma City 8:30 ET Thunder (+) over Warriors- Okay, we all know the storyline here with Kevin Durant returning to visit the 'girl' he jilted why his new 'trophy girlfriend.' Will the obvious friction between Russell Westbrook and Durant be exhibited for all to see or will these guys conduct themselves as professionals? With all that around them which one of their players is better able to handle the situation? Golden State has won the last five in the series but are just 3-11 all-time in Oklahoma City. Take the THUNDER! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Gonzaga v. St. Mary's +4.5 | Top | 74-64 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 49 m | Show |
Gonzaga at St. Mary's 8:15 ET Gaels (+) over Bulldogs- This is most likely to final hurdle for No. 1 Gonzaga if it intends to finish the regular season undefeated as their competition is meager at best after this encounter. The Bulldogs have won 10 of the past 12 meetings going 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings including a 79-56 home win a month ago. St. Mary's has won their last seven and is ranked second nationally in scoring defense (54.6) and are 13-1 straight-up at home. Take ST. MARY'S! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Heat v. 76ers +4 | Top | 109-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
Miami at Philadelphia 7:30 ET 76ers (+) over Heat- Break-up the Heat! After an 11-30 start the Heat have put together an improbable 13-game winning streak going 12-0-1 ATS. Miami has moved to within one-game of Detroit for the final playoff spot in the East. Philadelphia has lost seven of their last nine but have 'covered' their last two and are 6-4 ATS in their last 10 as well as 9-0 ATS in their last nine at home. Even without Embiid the Sixers are playing hard and are a play here. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Clippers v. Hornets -2.5 | 107-102 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Charlotte 5:00 ET Hornets over Clippers- Los Angeles won last time out over the Knicks (should that count) to end a three-game losing streak but are still just 3-7 straight-up in their last 10. The Clippers have won the last four in this series and are 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings but, this is not the same Clippers team. Gone is Chris Paul and while others are hobbled Blake Griffin have returned to full strength. The Hornets have dropped eight of their last nine and will be ready to sting LA here. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-11-17 | Kansas v. Texas Tech +6 | 80-79 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Kansas at Texas Tech 2:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Jayhawks- No. 3 Kansas has had a number of close calls this season and one of them was against the Red Raiders when they came back from a 12-point deficit and won 74-71. The Jayhawks who have won 12 straight Big-12 titles leads the overall series 32-5 including the last 15 meetings and are 12-4 in Lubbock. Texas Tech is off a one-point loss to TCU and looks to rebound here as the home team is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take TEXAS TECH! |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Hawks v. Kings +2 | Top | 107-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show |
Atlanta at Sacramento 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Hawks- The Kings have one of the most dominate players in the NBA with DeMarcus Cousins but have trouble posting victories as they are just 21-32 straight-up. Cousins is back after a one-game suspension (a game the Kings won without him in the line-up and is looking to play with his usual passion. Other then the fact that the Hawks are 0-5 ATS after winning a game by 10 points they have had their way against the Kings going 6-1 ATS in Sacramento and 14-3 ATS in the last 17 meetings. With all that noted I still see the Kings with the return of Cousins get it done here. Take SACRAMENTO! |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Pacers +5 v. Wizards | 107-112 | Push | 0 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Indiana at Washington 8:00 ET Pacers (+) over Wizards- The Wizards have been outstanding at home winning 17 straight before an overtime loss to Cleveland on Monday but managed an overtime win over the Nets on Wednesday. On the same day the Pacers had their seven-game winning streak come to an end also against the Cavaliers. Washington is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up win but Indiana won both meetings here last season and is 7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings in Washington. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Spurs v. Pistons +5 | Top | 103-92 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 1 m | Show |
San Antonio at Detroit 7:30 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- The Spurs will again be a thorn in any teams side once the playoffs start as their consistency under 'Pop' has been just amazing over the years. Posting a 40-12 record they have defeated Detroit the last four times that they have met going 4-0 ATS while the Pistons are struggling to get to the break-even mark. Three games under .500, Detroit has won seven of its last eight at home and managed to go 4-0 ATS in their last four as hosts and are 5-0 ATS in their last five playing on one days rest. Take the PISTONS! |
|||||||
02-10-17 | Dayton v. Rhode Island -4 | 75-74 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 43 m | Show | |
Dayton at Rhode Island 7:00 ET Rams (-) over Flyers- A pair of Atlantic-10 clubs that will most likely get an invite to the 'Big Dance' as it stands now who are both on winning steaks. Dayton has won their last three and Rhode Island their last four as they face-off in Kingston. The Rams are 11-1 straight-up at home going 7-4 ATS while the Flyers have gone 4-2 on the road. Dayton has already posted a 67-64 home win over the Rams in early January and now turn-about-is-fair-play. Take RHODE ISLAND! |
|||||||
02-09-17 | Oregon v. UCLA -4 | 79-82 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Oregon at UCLA 10:00 ET Bruins (-) over Ducks- The top two clubs in the Pac-12 face-off at Pauley Pavilion as UCLA host Oregon. The Ducks are off a total dismantling of then No. 5 Arizona Saturday night taking down the Wildcats 85-58 while the Bruins return home after a three game road trip. Oregon won the conference opener over UCLA 89-87 as these team have alternated home wins in the last six meetings. The Ducks are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 and 20-7 ATS in their last 27 against the Pac-12 while the Bruins are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 in conference play. Still, UCLA leads the nation with 22 assists per games and turnover ratio (1.8) and field goal percentage (53.5). Take UCLA! |

02-09-17 | Jazz v. Mavs +4 | Top | 105-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Utah at Dallas 8:30 ET Mavericks (+) over Jazz- Utah has already pull a 'hat-trick' against Dallas this season and goes for the season sweep tonight. The Jazz have won their last four while the Mavericks have dropped their last two. Despite the Jazz winning their last two in Dallas their history here is not good as they had lost the previous 10 match-ups and 24 of the last 27 played here as well as going 3-9-1 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Dallas is 7-0 ATS in their last seven home games and get it done once again tonight. Take the MAVERICKS! |
|||||||
02-09-17 | North Carolina v. Duke -2 | 78-86 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Duke 8:00 ET Blue Devils (-) over Tar Heels- At first glance this contest looks to be all Tar Heels as Duke has struggled with distractions, injuries and a coach that has been sidelined with back issues. When looking at the trends we see the North Carolina is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 while Duke is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall. Add that the underdog is 6-2 ATS in their past eight meetings and the road team is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. That all being noted Coach K is back and put his team on notice by not allowing them to wear their school colors. (letting them know he believes they are not worthy) Duke has won four of the last five meetings and the last four at Cameron Indoor Stadium. Take THE BLUE DEVILS! |
|||||||
02-09-17 | Rockets v. Hornets +4.5 | 107-95 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Houston at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Rockets- The Hornets dropped out of the eighth playoff spot with their seven-game losing streak that just ended with a victory over the lowly Nets. Charlotte who is 16-10 straight-up at home is 0-5 ATS in their last five home games and are 4-14 ATS in their last 18 games but are 5-2 ATS as hosts against Houston. The high scoring Rockets are 17-0 when allowing less then 100 points but are surrendering 110.8 per game on the road and are 0-4 ATS in their last four road contests. Take CHARLOTTE! |
|||||||
02-09-17 | 76ers +6 v. Magic | 112-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
Philadelphia at Orlando 7:00 ET 76ers (+) over Magic- Both clubs have fallen a bit of late as the Sixers have lost their last five and the Magic have dropped their last two by 27 to Atlanta and 24 at Houston. Part of Philadelphia's problem is all their losses came without Joel Embiid who has missed the last seven games and 10 of their last 11. The Magic have dominated the 76ers winning four straight and 18 of the last 23 but are just 7-17-1 ATS at home. Both Magic wins over Philly this season came in November and they are facing a much better team now. Take PHILADELPHIA! |
|||||||
02-09-17 | Purdue v. Indiana +1.5 | 69-64 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 31 m | Show | |
Purdue at Indiana 7:00 ET Hoosiers (+) over Boilermakers- These two Indiana rivals are ready to rebound as that is the best asset for both clubs as the Hoosiers have a plus margin of 8.7 while Purdue is a plus 8.6. But, it may not be the 'big men' that make the difference here as Indiana's junior guard James Blackmon Jr. is expected to return after a three-game absence. While the Boilermakers are off a 73-72 road win at Maryland the Hoosiers were defeated by Wisconsin 60-55. Indiana is 13-2 at home while Purdue is just 3-3 in true road games. Take INDIANA! |

02-08-17 | California v. Arizona State +4.5 | Top | 68-43 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
California at Arizona State 11:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Golden Bears- California enters this game with a four-game winning streak but has been a money 'burner' for their backers as they are just 9-14 ATS. Arizona State is second in the Pac-12 in scoring (behind UCLA) and has three of the conferences top 10 scorers. Cal has won the last three meetings to even the all-time series at 40 but they are just 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Sun Devils also lead the league in fewest turnovers at 10.6 per game and make 10 3-pointers a game. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

02-08-17 | Fresno State +1.5 v. Wyoming | 100-102 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Fresno State at Wyoming 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Cowboys- The Mountain West delivers this winner with Wyoming hosting Fresno State in Laramie where they are 11-2 straight-up at home but yet just just 6-5 ATS. The Bulldogs have bite on the road as they are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. These two met in Fresno in early January and the Bulldogs won easily 85-70 and are poised to do it again. Take FRESNO STATE! |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Raptors v. Wolves +4 | 109-112 | Win | 100 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Toronto at Minnesota 8:00 ET Timberwolves (+) over Raptors- With all their young talent the T'wolves were expected to be performing at a higher level as they have now lost their last four. Tonight they host the Raptors who have a 9-2 ATS record in Minnesota and are 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings overall. Wolves coach Tom Thibodeau reamed his players for the defensive effort last time out (allowing 116 pts in last 4) and I expect them to respond to his tongue lashing. Take MINNESOTA! |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Clippers v. Knicks +2 | Top | 119-115 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 42 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at New York 8:00 ET Knicks (+) over Clippers- We see that the Clippers are 10-games over .500 while the Knicks are 10-game under .500 but according the 'Vegas' New York is a better bet as they are 29-26 ATS while Los Angeles is 25-27 ATS. The problems in New York seem to be escalating as they implode over the Carmelo Anthony trade rumors. The lowly Lakers just crushed the Knicks at the 'Garden' and they were belted with a full game chorus of boos. I expect New York to rebound here with a compete game effort and win this game comfortably. Take the KNICKS! |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Nuggets +4.5 v. Hawks | 106-117 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Denver at Atlanta 7:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Hawks- The Hawks who have the same record on the road as they do at home (14-11) are 6-5 in their last 11 games but their losses were by an average 23 points. Atlanta is just 1-4 ATS in their last five home games but Denver is just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 in Atlanta. One key trend for the Nuggets is that they are 6-0 ATS in their last six games playing with one days rest and they look to avenge a 1-point 109-108 home loss to the Hawks in December. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
02-08-17 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State -120 | 72-69 | Loss | -120 | 7 h 6 m | Show | |
Baylor at Oklahoma State 7:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Baylor- A week ago Baylor was 20-1 and seeking a No. 1 ranking and then they played Kansas and Kansas State. The Bears lost both those contests and now their confidence has been shaken. Oklahoma State started the Big-12 season 0-6 in conference but have roared back and won four straight in conference action and their last five overall. The Bears are a tough cookie on the road going 14-3-1 ATS in their last 18 away from home but, the home team is 14-5-2 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the underdog id 5-2-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. In a surprise it's the Cowboys. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

02-07-17 | Texas Tech +3 v. TCU | 61-62 | Win | 100 | 9 h 0 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Texas Christian 9:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Horned Frogs- Hard to believe that TCU has set a school record with just five conference wins but at 16-7 they are having one of their best seasons on record. Texas Tech just ended a three-game Big-12 losing streak defeating Oklahoma on Saturday. Texas Christian is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games and Texas Tech is 1-5 straight-up on the road so the advantage seem to be in Fort Worth. But now so fast my friend take note that the road team is 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Take TEXAS TECH! |

The Spurs have had their way against the Grizzlies going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 visits to Memphis and are 20-8 ATS in the last 28 meetings.

Kansas at Kansas State 9:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Jayhawks- Want to talk about a one-side rivalry, this series is one of the most lopsided in all of college basketball among 'majors.' Kansas has won their last four match-ups and leads the all-time series 192-95 winning 53 of the last 58 meetings. The No. 2 Jayhawks had their 54-game home winning streak stop as the fell to Iowa State Saturday after blowing a 14-point halftime lead. Meanwhile Kansas State was upsetting Baylor 56-54 and are looking for a small measure of revenge off their first meeting a 90-88 loss as Jayhawks guard Mykhailiuk blatantly traveled on his buzzer-beating layup that was not called.

Utah at Atlanta 7:30 ET Jazz over Hawks- This one for some reason doesn't pass the eye-test as the Jazz opened a small favorite at Atlanta. Both these clubs are playing at their best as Utah has won 14 of their last 20 while the Hawks have won 15 of their last 20. What seems strange to me is that the Jazz are 0-7 straight-up in their last seven road games and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 and yet the line says something different. Atlanta who was pasted by the Jazz last November 95-68 in Utah is just 2-6 ATS after a straight-up win and will fall tonight. Take UTAH! |

Detroit at Indiana 7:00 ET Pistons (+) over Pacers- The Pacers have a pair of things going for them as they enter tonight's game against Detroit. The first thing is that they have won five in-a-row and the other is that they own the Pistons defeating them in 24 of the last 31 meetings including 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings. Detroit has won their last two as two different players Caldwell-Pope (38) and Marcus Morris (36) set career highs for scoring. Two hot clubs with the points being a factor. Take the PISTONS! |

Purdue at Maryland 12:00 ET Boilermakers (-) over Terrapins- Now, you see what I mean? Here is No. 17 Maryland (20-2) playing at home and hosting No. 24 Purdue (18-5)and they are an underdog. Now, really, doesn't that make any sense? Let me look closer and I find that the Boilermakers are just 2-3 in true road games while the Terrapins have won seven straight and are 11-2 straight-up at home. Add that Maryland is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games overall and last 11 in the Big Ten. These 'number' are so one sided for the Terps and they are getting points at home. There is something fishy going on here. If this game was in prime time it would be the 'Play of the Day.' The fact that is starts so early keeps me from going ALL-IN! Take PURDUE. |

Atlanta at Houston 8:00 ET Rockets (-) over Hawks- Yeah, this is one game I'm looking forward to seeing. Dwight Howard after three seasons in Houston returns with Atlanta to face his former mates. It was well known that James Harden didn't like playing along side of Howard and the Rockets are much improved without him. The Hawks have won six straight in the series including a 112-97 home win the first week of the season. I expect a huge reversal here as the Rockets blast off with their high-powered attack. Take HOUSTON! |

There is a huge difference is experience between these two clubs as Michigan State has four freshman in the line-up while the Wolverines with senior leadership is committing just 9.2 turnovers a game, the best in the country and they shoot 78% from the free throw line (6th in nation). Take MICHIGAN! |

Boston at Milwaukee 8:00 ET Bucks over Celtics- The Bucks who were three games over .500 two weeks ago have lost seven of their last eight as they meet Boston for the first time this season. The Celtics have won four of the last five meetings and are 4-1 ATS in their last five in Milwaukee. They have won their last two after dropping three straight but will most likely be without Avery Bradley who has missed 10 of the last 11 games and Al Horford is listed a probable. Bucks rebound here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Ohio State at Iowa 8:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- Neither of these clubs have been very impressive so far although the Buckeyes started 0-4 in Big Ten play but have rebounded (notice how I slipped that in) winning four of their last five while Iowa has dropped their last three and that can be explained by the injury to the Big Ten leading scorer Peter Jok. These two are so bad that the only trends that can be dealt with gives no advantage anywhere. Listen to these stats: Iowa is 3-13 ATS in last Big-Ten, they are 7-20-1 last 28 overall and on the other side OSU is 9-26-1 ATS in their last 36 road games. Pick you poison. Mine is the BUCKEYES! |

01-28-17 | Pistons -3 v. Heat | Top | 103-116 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
Detroit at Miami 7:30 ET Pistons (-) over Heat- There one seems a little strange to me as the 'red hot' Heat (how ya like that) who have won a season high six straight and now shows up as an underdog at home to a sub .500 team. Detroit is just 9-15 straight-up on the road and here they are favored. As far as this match-up goes the Pistons are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Miami. Hassan Whiteside will most likely be sidelined and the Pistons are already 2-0 versus Miami this year and will make it three wins here. Take DETROIT! |

Sacramento at Charlotte 7:00 ET Hornets (-) over Kings- The Hornets were above .500 but have dropped their last three as they return home for a contest against the Kings who blew a 16-point lead against the Pacers last night and lost for the fourth time in overtime this season. Sacramento has won four straight against the points while the Hornets have failed to 'cover; in their last three games.Charlotte won both meetings last season and will win and get the money here. Take the HORNETS! |

01-28-17 | Maryland v. Minnesota -4 | 85-78 | Loss | -116 | 13 h 56 m | Show | |
Maryland at Minnesota 2:15 ET Golden Gophers (-) over Terrapins- A major swing in different directions here as No. 23 Maryland comes rolling into Minneapolis with five straight wins while Minnesota has dropped their last four and are 3-5 in Big Ten play. The Terrapins (6-1) are in a tie at the top of the conference with Wisconsin while the Gophers went just 2-16 in Big Ten action last season. Minnesota must get back to playing tough defense and that happens at home where the Gophers are 12-2 more then it does on the road. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-28-17 | Florida v. Oklahoma +2.5 | 84-52 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show | |
Florida at Oklahoma 2:00 ET Sooners (+) over Gators- This SEC/Big-12 match-up would raise some eyebrows if the Sooners weren't entering this contest 8-1 while the No. 25 Gators are 15-5. Oklahoma has dropped their last two and nine of their last 11 as their last three games involved in three overtime periods. Oklahoma's Lon Kruger coached at Florida and defeated Oklahoma in 1995 and now he will turn the trick with the Sooners. He would love for the Sooners to continue their recent dominance over the SEC going 7-2 ATS. Take OKLAHOMA! |

North Carolina at Miami-FL 1:00 ET Hurricanes (+) over Tar Heels- The Miami Hurricanes 13-6 record doesn't appear so bad until you check them out against the points and they are a miserable 4-13 76% losers. As a matter of fact the Canes have been a 'money-burner' for a while going 1-8 ATS in their last nine ATS and 5-18 ATS in their last 23 overall. North Carolina comes to the Magic City winning their last seven and defeated the Canes the last two meetings including a 96-71 thrashing in their last meeting but, Miami had won the previous four. It's time for them to do it again! Take MIAMI-FL! |

Dayton at VCU 9:00 ET Rams (-) over Flyers- These two approach this contest each with 15 wins but when you check their record ATS there is a wide schism. Dayton at 15-4 straight-up and off three straight-up wins is 11-6 ATS while VCU is a not so great 7-9 ATS on the season. The Flyers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games but the Rams are 9-1 at home and are 22-9 ATS in their last 31 Atlantic-10 games. Take VIRGINIA COMMONWWEALTH! |

01-27-17 | Hornets v. Knicks +1 | 107-110 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Charlotte at New York 7:30 ET Knicks over Hornets- This contest is more of a 'showcase' exhibition for Carmelo Anthony then anything else as the Knicks try and move their 'ball-stopping and shoot' power forward. Anthony doesn't want to leave New York but when he doesn't get treaded to a contender their chances will fly 'like the clock' out the window. The last time these two played at MSG Carmelo had 35 points and 14 rebounds as the Knicks posted a 113-111 win in November. Even though New York is 6-17 in their last 23 games overall they are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings against the Hornets. Take NEW YORK! |

Milwaukee at Toronto 7:30 ET Bucks (+) over Raptors- Ten days ago Toronto was considered a possible threat to the Cavaliers rein in the East but a five game slide has them dropping is the seeding race. Milwaukee has been much better of late losing six of their last seven including a 114-109 loss to the 76ers last time out. The Raptors have won both meetings this season and destroyed the Bucks in their last meeting 122-100 in mid-December on Toronto. The Bucks turn the tide here. Take MILWAUKEE! |

Sacramento at Indiana 7:00 ET Kings (+) over Pacers- What is going on with the Sacramento Kings? They are actually showing signs of professionalism winning two straight including an overtime win over Cleveland on Wednesday. Indiana came to life last night winning at Minnesota 109-103 ending a three-game losing streak. The Pacers won the last meetings including a 106-100 win at Sacramento nine days ago. Still, the Kings are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings in Indiana and are 4-1 TAS in their last five road games. Take the KINGS! |

L.A. Lakers at Utah 10:30 ET Jazz (-) over Lakers- The Jazz had won six straight before the schedule took its toll on their play. Utah had to play four games in five night and have dropped their last two including a listless loss to Denver Tuesday. The Lakers meanwhile fell apart late against Portland last night and have now lost seven of their last eight. The Jazz have already defeated the Lakers three times this season with no win by more then seven points and here they are 'double-digits' over this time out. Take UTAH! |

01-26-17 | Oregon v. Utah -1 | Top | 73-67 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 60 m | Show |
Oregon at Utah 10:30 ET Utes (+) over Ducks- No. 10 Oregon comes into Salt Lake City riding a 16-game winning streak winning their last six games by an average of 24.3 points. The Ducks lead the nation in blocked shots (7.7 per game) and are undefeated (7-0) in Pac-12 action. Yet the Ducks are underdogs here. One reason may be that the home team is 6-1-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. The Duck's best player Dillon Brooks missed Saturday's win over Cal and his effectiveness is in question even if he plays. Take UTAH! |

Indiana at Michigan 9:00 ET Wolverines (-) over Hoosiers- Indiana seems to have 'righted' the ship so to speak with three straight wins as they enter Ann Arbor 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. The Hoosiers have dominated the series going 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings while Michigan is going 3-9 ATS in their last 12 in the Big Ten. The problem for Indiana is injures to a pair of 6'8'' sophomores which forces them to go deeper into a weak bench. Take MICHIGAN! |
