03-27-24 | Lakers v. Grizzlies +4.5 | 136-124 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Grizzlies +4.5 This is a major let down spot for the Lakers on the road. Los Angeles erased a 19 point deficit in Milwaukee on Tuesday night with just 9 minutes to go, as they had their most impressive win of the season eventually taking down the Bucks in double OT. Now, it’s a quick turnaround with them heading into Memphis. After the high of that win, heading into lowly Memphis will be a challenge to get up for this game. Plus, fatigue will play a role here. The Lakers saw Anthony Davis play 52 minutes on Tuesday, while DeAngelo Russell played 50 and Austin Reeves hit 48. Memphis is a tricky team at times to deal with too as they’re young and like to run. That bodes well in this game as they can utilize their speed to take advantage of the tired legs from the Lakers. Memphis returns home here after a 4 game road swing, while the Lakers still currently have 4 more road games after this one in Memphis. Situationally, this makes sense for a look over from LA, which should give Memphis the advantage. Transition points will be key and they know the situation as they’ll try to get out and run. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-27-24 | Knicks -13.5 v. Raptors | 145-101 | Win | 100 | 10 h 47 m | Show | |
Knicks -13.5 We’re on the Knicks, laying the number in this spot. Toronto has battled injury after injury and this is a perfect spot for the Knicks to take advantage of that. Toronto has gone 3-11 ATS and 0-8 ATS at home since late February and most of those 8 games have been in blowout fashion. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 5 by 15+ points as this team just doesn’t have it anymore and are looking for the finish line this season. Meanwhile, the Knicks are moving in the opposition direction. New York has won 6 of their last 7 as they continue to make their push up the Eastern Conference. They’ve done it defensively as in those 6 wins, they’ve held the opposition under 100 points in 5 of those. New York has the edge on both ends of the floor against this Raptors team and should expose that early. Expect them dictate the pace and have the Raptors struggling to find open shots. After blowing out the Pistons by 26 last time out, New York has another blowout in store here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-27-24 | Warriors v. Magic -3.5 | 101-93 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Magic -3.5 GSW (37-33, 19-14 AWAY, 37-32-2 ATS) took down the Heat by 21 last game out last night, and the home team, Orlando (42-29, 25-10 HOME, 47-24 ATS) lost a nail biter to the Kings on Saturday. Orlando, are the more rested team since they've been off since Saturday. GSW on the other hand have to be needing some oxygen here. This is their third road game in four nights. Golden State has tapered off as they’re struggling heading into this matchup with the Magic. Golden State has dropped 7 of their last 11 overall and they’ve failed to cover in 6 of the last 9 games they’ve played. This is the Warriors team we saw earlier in the season as they’re relying far too much on Steph Curry and the supporting cast is getting absolutely nothing. They now come in after playing Tuesday night in a game where they had to deal with such a physical Miami Heat team. Now, they have to not only deal with the Magic’s physicality inside, but also the pace at which this team plays with. The Magic have played exceptionally well at home. They’ve gone 16-4 ATS as a home favorite and they’ve covered in 8 of the last 10 here. They’re the better team and still have more confidence as panic has set in for the Warriors. This is a great spot to fade the Warriors in. They have too many issues and their inability to get stops inside has been a huge disadvantage. Orlando is going to pick this defense apart and push the tempo on them. The Magic have won 10 of 13, including 5 consecutive home victories against GSW. I'm on the Magic -3.5 at home tonight. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

03-26-24 | Lakers v. Bucks -8.5 | 128-124 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 15 m | Show | |
Bucks - 8.5 The Lakers (39-32) aim to take down the Bucks (46-25) at Fiserv Forum on Tuesday, 7:30pm ET. The Bucks, favored by 8.5 points, and the game's total points opened at 234. Lakers, on a three-game win streak, took down the Pacers 150-145 last game out. Meanwhile, Milwaukee has grabbed 4 W's in their L5 to come into this one on a roll as well. Milwaukee has a lot of value in this spot. For starters, Lebron James is listed as doubtful for tonight as he continues to battle injuries every other day it seems. That’s a huge blow for this Lakers team that leans on him. We could also see the Lakers decide to rest a few other players too. Regardless, missing James is reason enough to back the Bucks who likely will be at full strength tonight. Milwaukee has been extremely dominant at home too. They come in winners of 6 straight in than building as they continue to put up big numbers here. The Bucks are just too powerful when they’re at full strength. They can come at teams from so many different angles and it’s led them to averaging 120.6 ppg. They’re just too tough to guard and they’re going to have the Lakers reeling with how depleted they are without James. Expect Milwaukee to push the tempo here as the Lakers don’t have enough weapons to keep up. We’re getting a good number on a hot team right now. Look for them to put their foot on the gas early and not let up in this spot. Trends, Lakers are 4-10 SU in L14 vs Milwaukee. Milwaukee are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 6-0 SU L6 at home, 13-5 SU L18 vs. PACIFIC div teams, and are 5-2 ATS L7 in March. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-26-24 | Georgia +9 v. Ohio State | 79-77 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
UG +9 The Bulldogs have value here in the NIT on Tuesday when they head into Columbus for the quarterfinals. Georgia was a team down the stretch of the season that needed a little luck to go their way to change their fortunes. They are getting some things to go their way now and they come into this matchup after knocking off the 1 seed Wake Forest on the road. The Bulldogs are playing much more physical and they’re getting a lot of big timely stops. They held Wake to just 66 points and under 40% shooting in the win, which is something they’re going to look to replicate here. Ohio State has played well under their new coach, but this team could have just as easily been eliminated in the opening round against Cornell. They’re being overvalued a bit here in this spot as this spread is too high. They still have some things to figure out, especially on the defensive end. Georgia can match their physical play in the paint on both ends of the floor. Look for the Bulldogs to turn this into a half court style game and really knock Ohio State out of rhythm. This has the makings of a game played at the Bulldog’s pace, giving them a chance to steal it outright. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-25-24 | Celtics -10.5 v. Hawks | 118-120 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
Celtics -11.5 The Celtics (57-14; 38-30-3 ATS) visit the Hawks (31-39; 24-46-0 ATS) on a hot streak, winning six consecutive road games. Tip-off is at 7:30pm ET Monday. Celtics, with a 9-game streak, are favored by 11. Over/under set at 226.5. Boston leads the series 2-0, winning by at least 8. Despite Atlanta's offensive reliance, they've struggled to hit 115 over the L9, while the Celts are #2 defensively. The Celtics continue to roll and we’re backing them here in Atlanta on Monday. Boston comes in covering their last 6 games on the road and they continue to do just about everything right. During that 6 game run, they’ve managed to cover each of those games by at least 6 points. Boston should have plenty of success against this weak Atlanta side. They come in 29th in the NBA in defensive net rating. They’ve given up 120.7 ppg this year and on most occasions, they just haven’t been able to stop anyone. They’ve been an ultimate fade all season and come into Monday just 12-22 ATS at home. As an underdog, they’ve managed to cover just 10 out of 32 games. Boston should have pretty much everyone in the lineup that’s healthy here, as they’ll play two games in Atlanta during this week. The Celtics are just too good offensively and will overpower the Hawks on both sides of the floor. This is a good line in what is just an absolute lopsided matchup on Monday night. Trends, Boston are 8-1 ATS in their L9, 9-0 SU L9, 10-3 ATS L13 vs. ATL, 11-2 SU L13 vs. ATL, and 6-0 ATS L6 on the road. Atlanta are 2-5 ATS in their L7, also the Hawks 2-5 SU L7, and 1-4 SU L5 on Monday's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-25-24 | Hornets v. Cavs -11.5 | 92-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Cavs -11.5 The Cavaliers (43-28) are in a full bounce back spot on Monday night as they welcome in the Hornets to Cleveland. They went into Miami and looked like they had zero interest in playing in what was one of the most lopsided games you'll see this season in the NBA. The good news for the Cavs is that they get a very weak Charlotte team on Monday at home. The last time the Hornets took the floor, they were demolished by the Hawks 132-91. Charlotte (17-53) allows 117 ppg which doesn't bode well for them in most cases as they're only putting up 106.4 ppg on the offensive end. Their inability to find consistent scoring is what hurts them the most and they're going to have to deal with a very fast paced Cleveland side. Look for the Cavs to push the tempo on them, as this team plays much better at home. Combine that with Charlotte being just 1-8 in their last 9 games on the road and we're getting some good value on Cleveland. The Cavs have the edge in every which way and they're going to come out with a purpose after last nights debacle. Expect them to flip the script and have a lopsided performance in their favor tonight. Trends, Charlotte 1-5 ATS L6, 2-11 SU L13, 2-5 SU L7 vs. CLE, and 1-8 SU L9 on the road. CLE 10-5 L15 vs. SOUTHEAST div. teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-24-24 | Texas A&M +10.5 v. Houston | 95-100 | Win | 100 | 18 h 8 m | Show | |
Aggies +10.5 We’re grabbing the Aggies, with the points, in the Round of 32 on Sunday night. These two teams have already met this season, in what was a 4 point Houston win. The Aggies didn’t have Tyrece Radford in that loss, who had a double double in the win over Nebraska in the Opening Round. The Aggies are a scrappy team and we saw that they can turn the jets at any given moment. They had 3 players score over 20 points in the win over Nebraska as they can come at teams from so many different angles. This has the makings of a game where they can put some doubt inside Houston’s mind early. The Aggies only allow 71.2 ppg and they can turn defense into offense. Look for them to turn the pressure up early and put an emphasis on forcing this Houston team into some real tough shots. They can keep this close throughout with their ability to attack the rim and match the Cougars physicality. This is just too many points to over look. Look for a close game and for the Aggies to have their chances here on Sunday night. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-24-24 | 76ers v. Clippers UNDER 216.5 | 121-107 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 57 m | Show | |
UNDER 216.5 The 76ers (38-32) visit the Clippers (44-25) at Crypto.com Arena, tip is at 3:30pm ET, marking their maiden encounter this season. Philadelphia seeks redemption after consecutive road losses, dropping to Phoenix by 13 and Lakers by 7. Meanwhile, the Clippers secured two wins in Portland, grabbing W's by 13 and 8 points. The 76ers and Clippers have value on this Under. The 76ers come in as they continue their road trip after they had to deal with two tough games against the Lakers and Suns both which were played to lower scoring and hit on the under. That's been the latest trend for the 76ers, who continue to play lower scoring games. They have really slowed the tempo down and they're forcing teams to play to their pace. That gives us a nice edge on this under, as the 76ers come in ranked 9th in the NBA in total defense. They will force this game into a slower tempo, which the Clippers will welcome as they return home after a back to back in Portland. The Clippers rank 10th defensively in the NBA, as they're right there with the 76ers. Both teams are good at closing out on shooters and they don't allow anything easy in the paint. This is the kind of game that will turn into a grind, with both teams looking to work the ball around. We shouldn't see too much in transition, which gives us good value in this spot. Trends, total has gone UNDER in ALL of 76ers L8 games, and in 5 of their L5 on the road. Plus, the UNDER has hit in 6 of their L7 vs. WEST teams. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 9 of LAC L11 Sunday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play |

03-23-24 | Suns v. Spurs UNDER 229 | 131-106 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 39 m | Show | |
UNDER 229 We’re on the Under as the Suns and Spurs clash on Saturday night in San Antonio. This game is going to be a lower scoring affair as this game should be played a slow pace. San Antonio is going to make this game played at their kind of speed and they’ve found recent success with games being slowed down. They’ve been able to keep themselves in games, even with top opponents, as they like to eat a lot of clock on possessions. Coming into this one, they average 112.3 ppg and they’ve seen that number go down as of late. They scored just 107 points in the latest loss to the Mavs, but did hold them to 113 in the game. That's the kind of style they need to be successful and they’re going to make this be played in that kind of style. The Suns are also seeing some lower scoring games mixed in. They tend to play to the speed of their opponent, which really benefits this under. Expect plenty of long possessions and for both teams to turn this into a half court style game. With that, this should be a game similar to the one the Spurs played with the Mavs last time out. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA O/U Play |

03-23-24 | Washington State v. Iowa State -6.5 | 56-67 | Win | 100 | 21 h 55 m | Show | |
Iowa State -6.5 The Cyclones have value on Saturday when they take on Washington State in the Round of 32. Iowa State right now is a team on a mission and they’ve showed zero signs of slowing down right now. Iowa State ran through the Big 12 Tournament, which included a blowout win over Houston in the title game. They tipped off their tournament with a blowout win over South Dakota State as they raced out to a 22-7 lead in the game. The Cyclones are always going to be a team that leans on their defense, but recently their offense has been really overwhelming the opposition. Iowa State shot 11 for 23 from behind the arc in the win and they’re clicking on all cylinders. This is a great matchup for them as Washington State struggled at times with defending the 3 ball against Drake. Iowa State can turn defense into offense better than anyone in the nation too. They will put the clamps down defensively and force WSU into some turnovers, which they can get out and run in transition with. They’re the better team and this is a good number to lay in the Round of 32. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-23-24 | Michigan State v. North Carolina -3.5 | 69-85 | Win | 100 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
UNC -3.5 North Carolina We’re backing the Tar Heels, laying the points in this spot as they catch Michigan State in the Round of 32. The Tar Heels dominated Wagner in their opening game as this offense is just too powerful. They shot 55.0% from the field and 50% from behind the arc hitting 9 three pointers. They matchup with a Michigan State team that did dominate the Mississippi State Bulldogs in their opening game, but this team is still far too inconsistent to trust. We’ve seen them this season struggle at times with lower tier teams and now they run into a very tough and physical UNC side. The Spartans only average 73.0 ppg and they’ve sat below that many times here during the stretch run of the season. Michigan State is just too inconsistent and the Tar Heels are too deep. The Tar Heels score 81.7 ppg and they have the ability to go off at any moment. They can come at teams in flurries and they’re just far too powerful for this MSU side to keep up with. We’re getting a good number here as the Spartans are going to be overwhelmed in this matchup. Look for UNC to run and push the tempo, which will have the Spartans on their heels all night long. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-23-24 | Gonzaga -4 v. Kansas | 89-68 | Win | 100 | 18 h 1 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -4 Gonzaga We’re on the Bulldogs here, laying the points in the Round of 32 on Saturday. Kansas had to survive Samford in the opening round as they blew a 21 point lead and needed a blown clean block call to go their way in order to secure their spot in this round. Kansas just looks like they lack confidence right now and while this team can shoot, they’re going to run into a Gonzaga defense that is about 10 steps above Samford’s. The Bulldogs are giving up just 68.8 ppg this season, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Gonzaga played some very tough non conference games throughout the year and they started off their NCAA Tournament with an absolute beat down of McNeese State. The public backed McNeese State in a big way and the Bulldogs throttled them in an 86-65 win. Gonzaga is playing with a ton of confidence themselves right now on both ends of the floor. This is the kind of matchup where the Bulldogs are going to really lean on their defense. They can frustrate this Kansas attack and they have the weapons in the paint to slow down Hunter Dickinson. There is good value on the Bulldogs, who are going to have the edge on both ends of the floor. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-22-24 | Grand Canyon v. St. Mary's -5 | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 44 h 9 m | Show | |
St. Mary's -5 We're on the Gaels here in the Round of 64 as they take on Grand Canyon on Friday night. St. Mary's matches up perfectly with this Grand Canyon side. This game is going to be played at such a slow pace, which gives a huge edge to the Gaels in this spot. St. Mary's is at their best when they play at such a slow tempo and these are two teams who love playing slowly. The Gaels rank 2nd in the entire NCAA in defense as they give up just 58.5 ppg. The WCC Champions have just dominated on the defensive end and they did just that in the WCC Tournament, holding their opposition to totals of just 65 and 60. They also are one of the best in the nation when it comes to creating quality shot attempts offensively. They are shooting at a 46.7% clip from the field, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Grand Canyon is going to be overwhelmed with the pressure and length of this St. Mary's team. Looking at their schedule, this is by far going to be the toughest defense and most physical team they're going to face this season. Look for St. Mary's to wear down Grand Canyon, which is going to open up plenty of shooting lanes and looks in the paint. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-22-24 | New Mexico v. Clemson +2.5 | 56-77 | Win | 100 | 36 h 21 m | Show | |
Clemson +2.5 The Tigers and New Mexico meet in the Round of 64 and we're backing the Tigers out of the ACC here in this matchup. Clemson is getting little respect as they come in underdogs as a 6 seed vs an 11. The Tigers flopped in the opening round of the ACC Tournament, but they do have some quality wins under their belt this season. They have shown some signs of brilliance as they took down North Carolina and Alabama. They need to get back to playing their game, which is playing with a lot of tempo. Overall, this Clemson team has averaged 78.1 ppg (68th in nation). They have shot 47.1% as a team overall and they love to work the inside out game. They will find their big guy inside and attack the rim, which has led to them being one of the best free throw shooting teams in the nation. Clemson will have to get to the line in this one and be the aggressor, as New Mexico has struggled with teams who play very quickly. The Tigers are going up against a defense that has had its share of issues this season. They rank 175th in the nation in total defense and if Clemson can get in rhythm early, this is going to be extremely difficult for the Lobos to slow this offense down. We're getting great value at this number on the Tigers. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-22-24 | UAB +7.5 v. San Diego State | 65-69 | Win | 100 | 60 h 5 m | Show | |
UAB +7.5 We're getting a good number in this spot on UAB as they take on San Diego State in a 12-5 matchup on Friday. UAB is not a team you can overlook here as they have quality wins this season and have given some really good teams issues. UAB has wins over Drake, FAU, Maryland, and Memphis during the regular season and they have all the confidence heading into this matchup. They have won 5 in a row overall and they are a team that is built on depth. UAB has seen someone step up in every game during this winning streak and they've had a different leading scorer on 4 occasions in that span. This UAB team loves to crash the boards and they can produce multiple chances per possession. Because of how well they crash the glass, they are one of the best at getting to the free throw line too. They rank 12th in the nation in free throws attempted and they're shooting at a 75.1% clip from the line. San Diego State has dropped 3 of their last 5 and they have a huge target on their backs after their run last season. Look for this game to be close throughout, with UAB having their chances to even steal it outright. They're just as good on both sides of the ball as SDSU. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-21-24 | Drake v. Washington State +2 | 61-66 | Win | 100 | 45 h 36 m | Show | |
WSU +2 We're fading the public on this one and grabbing the Cougars in this spot against Drake. This will be the final game on the day 1 slate as it'll be a late night affair which also adds a little bit of an edge for Washington State given they are used to late starts. Aside from that though, this Cougars side has just too good of a defense to overlook here. They come into play on Thursday night, allowing just 67.3 ppg (53rd in the nation). They are holding teams to just 42% shooting from the field and their ability to force turnovers is going to put a lot of pressure on this Drake side. Washington State will slow this game down and have Drake out of their rhythm early. The Bulldogs are an up tempo team and Washington State can take the air out of the ball in this matchup. Drake has had its issues this year with slow teams and you best believe Washington State has taken note of that coming into this matchup. Combine this with Drake's sluggish defense and the Cougars can really dictate a lot in this game. Drake has allowed teams to shoot 44.2% from the field and it's led them to giving up nearly 71 ppg. This line has shifted because of the heavy public backing of Drake, which adds a lot of value to Washington State. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-21-24 | Bulls v. Rockets -3.5 | 117-127 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
Rockets -3.5 The Rockets (33-35) aim to extend a six-game win streak as they face the Bulls (34-35) at 8pm ET Thursday in Houston's Toyota Center. Houston, 2.5-point favorites, anticipates a game total of 213.5 points. Houston is being undervalued in this spot. The Rockets have gone on a nice little run as of late and they’ve covered in 5 of their last 6 games as they’re in the midst of playing their best basketball. Looking back further, they’ve covered in 9 of their last 10 and they’re getting contributions up and down this lineup. The catalyst has been Jalen Green, who has been playing at such a high level right now. He’s averaging 26.6 points over the Rockets last 9 games and he’s provided a huge spark to this team. They welcome in a Bulls team that is battling injuries and struggling as a whole right now. They just haven’t had any sort of consistency and they run into Houston at the wrong time here. The Rockets have played their best basketball at home this year too. Houston comes in 23-10-1 ATS at home and they’re playing with all the confidence right now. We’re getting a good line on the much better side here. Trends: Chicago are 3-7 SU in their L10 playing on the road vs. HOU and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games against an opponent in the West. Houston are 9-1 ATS in L10, and are 7-1 ATS L8 at home. Plus they're 9-2 ATS L11 vs. EAST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-21-24 | McNeese State v. Gonzaga -6.5 | 65-86 | Win | 100 | 42 h 47 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -6.5 We're backing Gonzaga here, laying the points in the Opening Round of the NCAA Tournament. The Zags are being undervalued a bit here after they fell in the WCC Championship Game and they deserve far more credit than they're getting. Gonzaga is on a different level and despite that loss, they are still playing at a high level entering play here. The Bulldog ranks 6th in the NCAA offensively, putting up 85.6 ppg. They are going to turn up the pace on McNeese State, who has not seen anything like this Gonzaga team in quite a while. Gonzaga is also no slouch defensively. They come into play allowing just 68.7 ppg, which sometimes gets overlooked because of how good their offense is. This team is just too deep and is going to wear down McNeese State in this spot. Experience is going to play a factor in this one as well. The Gonzaga Bulldogs are regulars here and they are going to be able to lean on that. McNeese is a stranger to this tournament and when the pressure turns up, things will start to go sideways for them. We're backing the better team, who has that experience in these spots. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

MST -1 Michigan State We're on the Spartans as they tip off Day 1 of the First Round of the NCAA Tournament on Thursday afternoon. The Spartans were a bubble team the entire season it felt like and they found their way in thanks to a couple of huge wins over the Purdue Boilermakers to bolster their resume. We're backing the Spartans as they have the experience and coaching edge. Tom Izzo has been a regular in the postseason tournament and he's always had this Michigan State team being extremely dangerous come tourney time. While this season has been a battle, they've managed to find their way in and now they are going up against a Bulldogs team that was a surprise in the SEC Tournament. They did however, drop 4 straight to end the regular season and this matchup with the Spartans is going to be one of their toughest this year. The Spartans play such a physical game and they are going to win the battle in the post. Defensively, Michigan State gives up just 65.9 ppg which is one of the best marks in the entire nation. They can lean on their defense and slow this game down. The SEC likes to run and they can get Mississippi State out of rhythm early in this contest. This is a great number on the team that should get calls late if we need it having Izzo on their side. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. RARE Thursday 10* Top CBB ATS Play |

UNDER 222.5 Wednesday at 10pm ET sees the Phoenix Suns (39-29) hosting the Philadelphia 76ers (38-30). The Suns, favored by 8.5 points, anticipate a competitive clash with an over/under set at 220.5 points. These two last locked horns on Nov. 4/23, a 112-100 76ers win in Phili. After a four-game road trip, the Suns seek to ascend the Western Conference standings. With less than a month remaining in the regular season, they're poised for a homecoming. Meanwhile, the 76ers, favored by 3 points, triumphed 98-91 against the Heat, contrasting the Suns' recent 140-129 loss in Milwaukee. The 76ers have been in survival mode at times without Embiid in the lineup. They’ve completely altered their style of play as they have slowed things down tremendously. We’ve seen games this month where the 76ers sat in the 70’s both scoring and against. They’ve found success on the defensive end and come in off a 98-91 win over the Heat last time out. Philadelphia has really put an emphasis on closing out on shooters and when they grab a defensive rebound this team will walk it up the court. They’ve found this successful as it’s taken teams out of their rhythm, as the NBA is mostly a fast paced league. That bodes well for our under here, as this game should be played at such a slow pace. Phoenix meanwhile has had similar situations this month as well when it comes to a slow pace. They tend to let the opposition control the pace and they will also lean on their defense that is around 114 ppg against. This has the makings of a game where neither team wants to get out and run, which values this under tremendously. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

03-20-24 | Colorado -2.5 v. Boise State | 60-53 | Win | 100 | 44 h 14 m | Show | |
Colorado -2.5 We're on Colorado Wednesday night as the First Four continues in Dayton, Ohio. The Buffs come in with a lot of momentum and right now they are the much better team in this spot. After closing out the regular season with 6 straight wins, Colorado made it all the way to the Pac-12 Championship before ultimately falling to a red hot Oregon team. Still, they have a lot of positive takeaways from how they finished the season and they will come into this one with a huge edge. Colorado really stepped things up defensively down the stretch of this season. They gave up just 58 and 52 points in their wins during the conference tournament and they allowed over 80 points just one time during their hot stretch. This defense is going to be the difference in this matchup with Boise State. The Broncos fell to 6th seeded New Mexico in the MWC Tournament as they finished losing 2 of 3 overall. Boise State has had issues with their consistencies and that is going to burn them ultimately in this matchup. They've had issues all season on both ends of the floor at times and Colorado is going to wear them down. Look for the Buffs to turn the pressure up early and really put an emphasis on closing out on shooters. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-19-24 | Colorado State v. Virginia +3 | 67-42 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 18 m | Show | |
UV +3 We’re on Virginia, grabbing the points in the First Four battle of the 10 seeds as they take on Colorado State on Tuesday. Virginia isn’t getting enough credit in this spot. This team was ACC Championship Game Bound, but a couple of missed front ends of 1 and 1’s, combined with a ridiculous buzzer beating game tying shot saw them eliminated in the semi finals. Virginia is still playing at a high level and they are going to wear this Colorado State team down. The Cavaliers are one of the best teams defensively in the nation for starters. They conceded just 59.6 ppg this year and this will by far be the best defense the Rams have seen in quite some time. Their ability to close out on shooters is going to frustrate this CSU side. Combine that with their length in the paint and they will dictate a lot. Virginia is going to slow the tempo down and knock Colorado State off their rhythm. That gives them a huge edge turning this game into a half court contest. Expect this one to be played in the 60’s, which gives a huge benefit to Virginia. As this game goes on, the Rams will be wearing down and it’ll open up shooting lanes for the many Cavaliers who can hit it from the outside. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-19-24 | Mavs v. Spurs UNDER 233.5 | 113-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show | |
UNDER 233.5 On Tuesday at 8pm ET, the Mavericks (39-29) clash with the Spurs (15-53) in San Antonio. The Mavericks, are favored by 8, and this game holds an over/under of 233. The Lone Star State rivals meet for the fourth time this season. Mavericks dominated prior games, winning by 18 points on average. San Antonio hosts its fifth game of an eight-game homestand. San Antonio faces Mavericks post-Austin OT win vs. Brooklyn 122-115. Dallas, victorious in 5 of 6 anticipate a heated clash tonight. This total is just too high for the Mavs and Spurs. San Antonio just hasn’t scored enough this season to be trusted with a total this high. They’re averaging just over 112 ppg this year and they are just such a young team that has endured far too many inconsistencies. The Spurs have had many cold streaks during games which is extremely valuable for an under like this. If they go a couple stretches without scoring and missing shots, it flips this total upside down. The Mavs have won 2 of 3, but they’ve hit the under in both of those wins as they’ve found a lot of success defensively when the game is slowed down. In those wins, they allowed 99 points and 105 to the Warriors and Nuggets. Holding those two offenses down shows what this defense is capable of and they should have plenty of success stopping this inconsistent Spurs attack. With this number being so high, there’s value on the under. Expect a game where both teams take their foot off the gas a little bit, slowing the tempo down. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play |

03-19-24 | Wagner v. Howard OVER 127.5 | 71-68 | Win | 100 | 20 h 45 m | Show | |
Wagner vs Howard Over 127.5 The First Four pins Wagner and Howard as 16 seeds against one another on Tuesday. This total is a little lower than expected and there’s value on this one going over. Howard is by no means a slow team. They love to get up and down the floor and it led them to averaging 75.0 ppg this season. They scored 78, 80, and 70 in their three conference tournament wins and they can certainly get to that threshold here on Tuesday against Wagner. This game is going to pick up speed wise and Wagner will play to that tempo. Wagner still averaged over 63 ppg themselves too as they have playmakers who can hit shots from all over the floor. This is an intriguing matchup as we should see both teams shoot the ball pretty well from the floor. Expect plenty of back and forth action with transition buckets being the biggest key for this total. Both teams know that they can get out and run, which should provide us with some early shots and quick transition shots. With this expected to be a close game throughout, both teams should get to the free throw line as well. The edge is with the Over in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-18-24 | Knicks v. Warriors UNDER 213 | 119-112 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 16 m | Show | |
UNDER 213 Monday night at 10pm ET, the Knicks (39-28) take on the Warriors (35-31) at Chase Center. The Warriors opened as 4.5 points with an over/under of 213. You can catch this one on ESPN. We’re on the Under here as these two teams meet on Monday. They met Feb 29th and since then, the Knicks have won 5 of 7 overall and they’re playing at such a high level defensively. They’ve held the opposition to under 100 points in 6 of those 7 games and they continue to really lock down defensively both against shooters and in the paint. Overall this year, the Knicks are giving up just 107.8 ppg and they have been a nice under backing. Golden State has been inconsistent this season for starters and they are going to struggle shooting against this defense. Everyone knows how the Warriors play and this is not a good matchup for them. Expect both teams to struggle from the field offensively, while the Knicks set the pace of this game by playing very slow. There is good value in this spot for a slow tempo and for both teams to struggle finding quality shots. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play |

03-18-24 | Pistons v. Celtics -16 | 94-119 | Win | 100 | 19 h 37 m | Show | |
Celtics -16 Tonight at 7:40pm ET, at TD Garden, in Boston, the Detroit Pistons (12-54) take on the Boston Celtics (52-14). Detroit enters fresh from a 108-95 defeat to Miami, while Boston secured a 127-112 win against Phoenix. The Pistons average 112.1 PPG with a shooting % of 47% from the field and 35% from beyond the arc but concede 120.3 PPG. Conversely, the Celtics average 120.9 PPG, conceding only 109 PPG defensively. It hasn’t mattered who is playing for Boston or who is on the court. This team continues to produce and they are playing at a high level entering play on Monday. They extended their winning streak to 5 games with a win over the Wizards, despite missing 3 of their starters. The Celtics offensively are just so much to handle and the Pistons aren’t the team that will be able to slow them down. Overall, Boston is scoring 121 ppg this season and they are doing it both with their outside shooters and in the paint. This team is too much to handle and Detroit giving up 120.1 ppg is not going to be a good matchup at all. The Pistons are also reeling right now, as they dropped back to back games to Miami entering this one. The Pistons have had zero success overall this season and they just don’t have the confidence in a game like this. Boston will turn up the pace early on them and come at this Detroit defense from so many different angles. This is a complete mismatch and Boston will put their foot on the gas early in this one and not look back. my pick for Monday is the Celts; they seem stronger now nearly every game they play. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-16-24 | Oregon v. Colorado -2.5 | 75-68 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 40 m | Show | |
Buffaloes -2.5 The Buffs are the move in the PAC-12 title game. Colorado has looked great as of late as they’ve rattled off 8 wins in a row and they’re hot at the right time. After a 14 point win over Utah, they secured their spot here in the finals with a 6 point win over Washington State. The Buffs have been dominant on the defensive end, which has led to a lot of their success. Colorado has given up 58 and 52 points in their 2 contests here in the tournament and they defeated Oregon in both regular season meetings. Colorado is going to wear down this Ducks side. With this being the third game in 3 nights for both teams, the pace is going to be slow which favors Colorado. They are going to put up a ton of pressure and with their physicality they can really tire out Oregon as the game goes on. Colorado is not allowing any 2nd chances and they’re dominating the paint, which will be the key here. This is really good value on the hotter team right now. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-16-24 | Warriors v. Lakers -2 | 128-121 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
Lakers -2 The Lakers are catching the Warriors at the right time here. Los Angeles will see a Golden State team that has dropped 3 of 4 as they enter play on Saturday. Injuries have piled back up on the Warriors as they continue to miss key pieces. Stephen Curry missed his third straight game, while Draymond Green continues to battle back spasms. The duo missing has led to the Warriors offense just struggling as they failed to reach 100 points in their latest loss to Dallas. The Lakers have played much better at home as they won both home games prior to their road loss at Sacramento. The Lakers put up 120 and 123 points in those two wins against the Bucks and Timberwolves as they continue to play very well at home. This is a nice spot for them to come out once again and really have the Warriors reeling with their missing pieces. Los Angeles will be aggressive from the outset, which should allow them to dictate the pace of this game. We’re getting great value on an LA team that has the confidence right now. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

New Mexico +2.5 New Mexico was considered a bubble team entering the final week of the season. This Lobos team has answered the call in a big way. They have rattled off impressive wins over Air Force, Boise State, and Colorado State en route to the Mountain West Championship Game. They’ve done it really with their ability to get stops on the defensive end. They have given up 56, 66, and 61 points in their 3 wins this tournament and they’ve just overwhelmed opposing teams. Their length and physicality has been too much as they are blocking shots and closing out on shooters so well. They also split the season series with SDSU, with an impressive 18 point win over them this season. New Mexico has all the confidence in the world right now and they are going to play this game at their pace. They’re going to slow it down and really force this Aztecs side into some difficult shots and possessions. Look for the key to be for them to out rebound San Diego State and really put an emphasis on locking down the paint. Momentum is key and right now this New Mexico side has it all going for them.

Magic -7 Magic (38-28) and Raptors (23-43) clash in the 1st of a home-and-home on Friday. Scotiabank Arena hosts the showdown at 7:30pm ET. Magic lead the season series 1-0. After a 114-106 victory over the Nets, Magic are on a high. Raptors are struggling, losers of 5 straight, including their last game out, a 113-104 loss to the Pistons. Earlier this season, the Magic triumphed 126-107 over Raptors as 1.5-point favorites on Nov. 21. The Magic catch the Raptors at the right time. Toronto has injuries piled up coming into play and Orlando will exploit a lot of that on both ends of the floor. Toronto has dropped 5 straight and just lost all 4 on their road trip as they just simply want to get healthy right now. They have been missing Scottie Barnes (hand surgery) and Jakob Poeltl (finger surgery). The Raptors also were without RJ Barrett (personal) and Gary Trent Jr. (groin strain) and Chris Boucher (knee) against Detroit. It’s been that kind of year for this team and while they may have a few of these guys back on Friday, they’re still missing some of the core overall. Orlando comes in with momentum after a 114-106 win over Brooklyn and they continue to jockey for playoff positioning in the East. Orlando has held the opposition to under 110 ppg this season and they are going to have the Raptors frustrated here all night long. Expect a lopsided game where Toronto just doesn’t have enough firepower offensively with all these injuries. We’re getting a good number on Orlando. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

North Texas +6 We’re on the Mean Green grabbing the points in the American Athletic Conference Tournament on Friday. North Texas has value here as FAU has had issues playing away from home. We saw throughout the regular season that Florida Atlantic just wasn’t the same team when they played away from their home arena. They dropped 4 conference games on the road and this North Texas team gave them all they could handle and then some late in the season in what was eventually a 4 point FAU win. However, this is a game that is going to be close throughout where North Texas can steal it. They average just 62.0 ppg against, which is one of the best marks in the conference. They are going to knock FAU out of rhythm with their ability to slow the game down. The Owls love to try and run, but North Texas is going to turn this into a half court style game. Look for them to frustrate the Owls from the start and not allow them many open looks. This should be the kind of game that is slow tempo and where we see a lot of lead changes throughout. Grab the points here in this spot. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Kansas State +8 We're backing the Wildcats here to make more noise after they bounced Texas from the tournament on Wednesday. Kansas State knows they need every win as they are likely still on the outside looking in when it comes to bubble watch. The Good news for them is they not only come in with momentum, but they also have a ton of confidence against this Iowa State team. They knocked them off to end the season in a 65-58 win. That game showcased a lot for this Kansas State side, who leans on their defense. The Wildcats held Texas to just 74 points in their opening round game and they really flustered them down the stretch. Timely stops are the biggest key for this Wildcats side, but they're going to slow this game down. They had the Cyclones completely out of rhythm in the season finale and they have the recipe to beat this team. Given the circumstances in this one, Kansas State is going to throw everything they have at this game knowing they need a win. This should be close throughout and the Wildcats have the talent to steal this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Arizona -9 Arizona is in a prime revenge spot here on Thursday when they take on USC. The Trojans took it to the Wildcats to end the season and now the Wildcats immediately get a chance at revenge as these two teams meet in the Pac-12 Tournament. Arizona continues to battle for seeding purposes and them winning the conference tournament here would go a long way for them. Despite that game they just couldn't find their rhythm, they are the far better team coming into play. The #1 seed in the Pac-12 has rarely let losses pile up. They have been one of the best bounce back teams in the entire nation and they've done it with their ability to overwhelm opposing defenses. Arizona ranks 3rd in the entire nation, putting up nearly 90 ppg. They have the ability to come at teams in such flurries they are going to come out with a purpose on Thursday against USC. The Trojans defense is very suspect and the Wildcat know their gameplan after that regular season finale. This will be the kind of game they make those adjustments and run on the Trojans. Expect a lopsided affair where Arizona get that revenge. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Arizona State +6 The Sun Devils (14-17) and Utes (18-13) close out action at the PAC-12 Tournament for Wednesday’s slate. We’re grabbing the underdog here as Utah is just too hard to trust laying this many points. The Utes limp into the tournament with back to back losses as they couldn’t find a win in their two game Oregon trip. Utah has struggled playing away from home this season and with that being a neutral site contest, things won’t get any easier for the Utes in this spot. The Sun Devils are going to have plenty of opportunities for some good looks here given the struggles Utah has had on the defensive end. Utah has given up 75.8 ppg this season in conference play, which is one of the worst marks of any team. Arizona State took down Utah in both meetings, putting up 82 and 85 points in those wins. The confidence factor is certainly on the side of the Sun Devils because of the meetings this season and they can keep this game within striking distance. ASU can frustrate this Utah defense all night and should find a lot of success with their ability to move the ball around. Expect a close game throughout. Arizona State are 6-3 ATS in their L9, are 5-0 ATS in their L5 vs. Utah, and are 5-0 SU in their last 5 vs. Utah. On the other side, Utah are 4-8 SU in their L12, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 vs. Pac 12 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Lakers -2 Tonight at 10pm ET, the Lakers (37-30) take on the Kings (37-27) in Pacific Division action. This marks their fourth encounter this season. The Lakers come in strong, securing impressive wins against top-tier teams like the Thunder, Bucks, and Wolves in their L3. The Kings are on the 2nd night of a B2B. The Lakers have put together a nice run here over the last week and come into play winners in 3 of their last 4 overall. The latest was an impressive 120-109 win over the top seeded Twolves as Los Angeles continues their trek up the standings in the west. They have won 5 of 7 overall and it’s James and Davis who continue to pace the way. Davis finished with 27 points and 25 rebounds in the win, while James contributed 29 in the win. These two continue to pace everything and this Lakers team goes when they go. They are looking to get their first win over the Kings this year, as they have not been swept since the 2015-2016 season and the Lakers matchup well in this spot against them. The Kings continue to be one of the worst in the NBA defensively, allowing 117.5 ppg this season. The Lakers have the confidence and are going to attack the rim against this weak interior defense from the Kings. The edge sits with the Lakers, who are playing far better right now. The Lakers boast a 5-2 SU record in their past 7 matchups and an impressive 8-3 SU in March games. Meanwhile, Sacramento struggles, going 1-5 ATS in their L6 home games. LA's momentum contrasts sharply with Sacramento's home woes, and I'm on LAL. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Georgia -3 We’re backing Georgia (16-15) here, laying the points in the SEC Tournament on Wednesday. Missouri (8-23) has just been an ultimate fade this season. They went winless in conference play and they just have looked terrible at times. They’re one of few teams who really can’t even find some momentum entering their conference tournament this week. The Tigers have been outscored in conference play on average 80.4-69.7. They have had just far too many issues to even trust on both ends of the floor. Georgia knocked them off by 7 earlier this season and the Bulldogs are averaging 75.0 ppg as a team. They should find plenty of success here both on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. Missouri just has zero consistency in almost every aspect and they really don’t have any playmakers that can take control of a game. They’re going to struggle against a very aggressive Georgia team and it should lead to seeing the Bulldogs get some easy baskets the other way in transition. We’re getting the much better team and the team playing with far more confidence on Wednesday at a good number. Missouri are 5-13 ATS in their L18 games, are 0-10 SU in L10, and are 2-4 ATS in L6 vs. UG. Georgia are 4-2 ATS in L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Pelicans -6.5 The Pelicans (39-25) aim to extend a 4-game win streak, facing the Cavaliers (41-24) at Smoothie King Center, 8pm ET tip-off. The Pels, are a -6.5-point favorite in opening odds. In December, New Orleans secured a 19-point victory away from home. Now, they aim to replicate that triumph as the focus shifts back to Louisiana. Entering this showdown, the Pels are sizzling, boasting a 4-game win streak, fueling soaring confidence. With 7 W's in their last 10 they're poised for success. The Pelicans are just the more trustworthy team right now. Take nothing away from the Cavs, but they have an absolutely depleted roster right now. They’re limping into this game will be without the likes of Mitchell, Mobley, and Strus here on Wednesday night. Cleveland was knocked around by Brooklyn and then fell to the Suns as they come in with zero momentum or confidence right now. That doesn’t bode well against a Pelicans team that is going to look to push the tempo on them. New Orleans has won 4 straight this month and they’re doing it with their ability to open shooting lanes, while also really dominating the defensive end. During this 4 game streak, the Pels have not allowed more than 103 points in any of those games. That spells a lot of trouble for the Cavs who are struggling mightily to find offensive production right now. Cleveland is just too tough to tough trust right now given their injury issues. Combine that with their inconsistent play on the road and we’re getting good value on the Pelicans. Betting trends, Cleveland, in their L14 are 4-10 ATS and 2-4 SU. They're 6-12 ATS in L18 against New Orleans and 3-8 SU in L11. On the road, they're 1-11 SU. New Orleans, L6, are 4-1-1 ATS and 5-1 SU. I'm on the Pels tonight, you know what to do. Hop ON!

03-13-24 | Kansas State v. Texas -4.5 | 78-74 | Loss | -120 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Texas -5 The Longhorns (20-11) have value laying the number here in the Big 12 Tournament. Texas has been one of the best teams when it comes to playing in the conference tournament, as they have won 2 of the last 3 titles here. The Longhorns are all but in for the NCAA Tournament, but solidifying it and helping their seeding could go a long way with a win. Texas routed Oklahoma in their finale and they have a win this season under their belts against the Wildcats (18-13) already. The Longhorns are going to have the edge because of how well this team can play defense. They allow under 70 ppg and that speaks volumes given the Big 12 is mostly an offensive league. Texas has 4 players who average double figures too. Both Max Abmas (16.8 points per game) and Dylan Disu (16.1) lead the way, while they’re joined in double figures by Tyrese Hunter (11.4) and Dillon Mitchell (10.0). This Texas team is just too talented top to bottom and they’re going to wear down Kansas State. The Wildcats just haven’t had it this season when it comes to consistent play and Texas will expose that and all but eliminate them from the NCAA Tournament on Wednesday night. Kansas State are 4-9 SU in their L13, and are 2-7 SU in their L9 vs. UT. Texas are 4-2 SU in their L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

OKC -6.5 Indiana is going to get picked apart defensively here in this matchup. The Pacers continue to be one of the worst defensively in the NBA and nothing has really changed as they just have had zero consistency this season. They’re still giving up 121.4 ppg this season as they have had all sorts of issues slowing teams down. They’ve been an absolute fade because of this and now run into a Thunder side that is not right now. They’ve won 3 straight games and it includes putting 124 points up last time out against the Grizzlies. The Thunder will turn this game into a track meet and really push the issue on this Pacers defense. Indiana just can’t get the stops they need and it leads to a lot of scoring flurries for opponents. Oklahoma City continues to put up big numbers and get contributions all around. This is a game where they will find a lot of easy transition buckets and open shooting lanes. The Thunder average nearly 121 points per game this season themselves, which is a recipe for disaster for Indiana. Pacers are 3-7 ATS in L10 vs. WEST teams, and are 0-7 SU in their L7 vs. NORTHWEST teams. OKC are 8-4 ATS L12, 10-2 SU L12, and 9-0 SU L9 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-12-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee +4 v. Oakland | 76-83 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
WISC-MIL +4 We’re backing Milwaukee here, grabbing points in the Horizon League Championship. We backed the Panthers in the Semi Finals and they cashed as a small underdog in a win over Northern Kentucky. BJ Freeman continues to be the key to success and he led the team with 27 in the win as this offense goes when he goes. He was 8 of 12 from the free throw line as well, as he was extremely aggressive which he’ll have to be here. Milwaukee can match the Oakland intensity and shooting that they do so well. Oakland needed a late finish in a game against Cleveland State where they struggled defensively. This Milwaukee team can pick apart some of those gaps and really will look to push the tempo on the Golden Grizzlies. This should be a fast paced game, which will favor Milwaukee. Expect a back and forth affair all night long, with the Panthers having their chances to steal this one outright. We’re getting good value here in a coin flip kind of game. WISC are 6-0 SU L6, and 4-2 ATS L6. OAK are 1-6 ATS L7 in March. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-12-24 | Louisville +9.5 v. NC State | 85-94 | Win | 100 | 17 h 32 m | Show | |
LVille +9.5 Louisville has value here, grabbing points in the first round of the ACC Tournament. This is a Cards team that is going to play with absolutely nothing to lose. They have had an abysmal season and we've seen teams in the past during this tournament that have been in similar situations play a great first round game. Louisville has shown a couple signs of brilliance over their last 10 games as they put up 101 on a good Florida State team and took down Georgia Tech. They also gave NC State all they could handle earlier this year in a 89-83 loss, which gives them a lot of confidence still. This offense can score and they're going to need to get hot early. The Wolfpack have dropped 4 straight games and they limp into tournament play. This is a classic trap game for them where they will come out flat and if they fall behind early, the Cardinals confidence will grow and grow as the game goes on. Look for a very grind it out kind of game where the Cardinals are going to be play very loose, which makes them extremely dangerous in this spot. Louisville are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. NCST. NCST 2-4 ATS L6, and 1-5 SU L6. Plus they're 0-5 SU L5 in March. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-11-24 | Wisc-Milwaukee +1.5 v. Northern Kentucky | 82-75 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
Wisc-Milwaukee +1.5 The Milwaukee Panthers (19-14, 12-8 Horizon) will be going for their sixth consecutive win when they face the Northern Kentucky Norse (18-14, 12-8 Horizon) in the semifinal of the Barbasol Horizon League Championship on Monday night. The game will be played at Indiana Farmers Coliseum and it is scheduled to begin at 9:30 PM. ET. We're backing Milwaukee here, who has been playing at a very high level. Milwaukee is dominated from start to finish in their Quarterfinal Matchup against in-state rival Green Bay, putting up 95 points in the win. It was their fifth straight win and the third time during this 5 game winning streak where they've scored at least 90 points. Milwaukee has put up nearly 80 ppg this season and they split the season series with NKU. The Panthers have leaned on BJ Freeman all season long and he's stepped up during this Horizon League tournament run. Freeman put up 30 against Detroit and followed that up with 32 against Green Bay as he is rolling right now. NKU simply does not score enough and if this game turns into a track meet, it's certainly going to favor Milwaukee. The Panthers are going to push the tempo and look to get out and run. Expect them to have the edge offensively and really wear down the Norse. Grab the Panthers as they are the better team and playing at a high level right now. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-11-24 | Raptors +14.5 v. Nuggets | 119-125 | Win | 100 | 12 h 58 m | Show | |
Raptors +14.5 The Raptors are in a nice spot here. This is a look ahead spot for the Nuggets. Denver will embark on a 4 game road trip starting Wednesday and this will be the kind of game where you may not get a fully focused Denver side. The Nuggets have had a few let down spots this season and the Raptors are scrappy. Toronto gave the Suns all they could handle on the road and then fell to Portland in overtime last time out as they continue to stay close in games. Toronto is going to come out and try to keep this game in the half court style. They know they can’t get into a track meet with an offense like Denver. However, they can slow the pace down and not allow Denver to get into any sort of rhythm. The scrappier they can make this game, the more of an advantage this can be for them. Look for a slower game and for Toronto to keep this game close throughout. Don’t overlook this offense, as they average nearly 115 ppg. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-09-24 | Spurs v. Warriors -11 | 126-113 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Warriors -11 Golden State and San Antonio will be missing key pieces here on Saturday night when the two square off. However, it’s just near impossible for a team like the Spurs to overcome missing a player like Victor Wembanyama. He’ll be out Saturday and the Spurs are just lacking too much without him in a game like this. Even with Stephen Curry out, Golden State has plenty of weapons to work with here. San Antonio has dropped 7 games in a row this year when Wembanyama is out. Meanwhile, the Warriors can look to the likes of Thompson, Kuminga, and Green to step up here. Even Wiggins has played a huge role for this team as they’re getting production all around. San Antonio is one of the worst in the league defensively giving up 120.4 ppg. Their inability to get stops has led them to not matching up at all with fast paced teams. Golden State is going to pick this defense apart and really look to run in transition. This is a complete mismatch and the Spurs simply do not have enough weapons to keep up here. Golden State will wear them down as the game goes on. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

03-09-24 | North Carolina +5.5 v. Duke | 84-79 | Win | 100 | 17 h 8 m | Show | |
North Carolina +5.5 We're on the Tar Heels Saturday night inside Cameron Indoor as everything is on the line. North Carolina can clinch the ACC Title with a win over Duke, a team they beat earlier this season in UNC. Duke still has a chance at a piece of the title, but we've seen them in the past in situations like this against North Carolina where they have flopped. They come in 0-8 against UNC in games where North Carolina has a chance to win the ACC in the game with a win. That is a staggering stat you can't overlook and this North Carolina team continues to blow out opponents. North Carolina is one of the best in the ACC offensively, averaging 81.5 ppg. However, it's really their defense that causes a lot of issues for opponents. They are giving up just 69.8 ppg and they really make things so difficult for the opposition. They don't allow many second chances and they play with such high pressure, opposing teams cannot find open shooting lanes. This is clearly a game where there is going to be high intensity and the pressure will be high both ways. North Carolina is still the better team overall as they have shooters and an inside presence that is top notch. This is too many points to pass up on with the ACC on the line. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-09-24 | Kentucky +8 v. Tennessee | 85-81 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show | |
Kentucky +9 We're backing the Wildcats here with the points in a huge SEC contest on Saturday. This is a revenge spot for the Wildcats, who are looking to avenge a loss earlier this season to Tennessee inside Rupp Arena. Kentucky has rattled off 4 straight wins and this offense has found it's groove once again. They are one of the best in the nation, averaging 89.7 ppg. Over the last 4, they have performances of 117, 91, 111, and 93. Their tempo is just so tough to guard. When they are hitting their shots early, this team gets in a rhythm like you've never seen before. They have the intensity and scorers to match the #4 Volunteers. Tennessee also has already clinched the top spot in the SEC. While they still have a lot to play for obviously, you may get a Volunteers team that is looking toward the SEC Tournament. This is a game that is going to be back and forth all night long. Both these teams will run and it should feature a lot of quick shots. Kentucky is going to come out with a lot of intensity and push the tempo, as they love playing in quick games. Expect a close game throughout, with this one coming down to the wire that can go either way. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-09-24 | Creighton v. Villanova +1.5 | 69-67 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
Villanova +1 We're on Villanova here, as a short home underdog in a game this team needs more than anything. Consistency just has not been there this season for the Wildcats. Still, they have a chance to still crash the tournament and this game would go a long way in beating the number 10 team in the country. Villanova has played better at home for starters and they have rattled off 4 straight wins here entering play. Ultimately, it comes down to Nova playing the game at their pace. Nova has one of the best defenses in the conference, allowing just 65.5 ppg this season. They are at their best when they can slow things down and play games in a halfcourt setting. They did just that earlier this season when they knocked off Creighton on the road in overtime. Despite it going into overtime, the final was still in the 60's for both teams. Look them to come out and really work the shot clock and knock Creighton off their rhythm. Their intensity on the defensive end is top notch and they will force turnovers and tough shots. Look for the advantage and edge to sit with them in this spot because of their defense. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-08-24 | Boise State v. San Diego State -7.5 | 79-77 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
SDSU -7.5 We’re playing the Aztecs here, laying the number at home. The Mountain West is just a mess in terms of the standings. All the teams have been bunched together and continue to beat up on each other. San Diego State comes in number 21 in the country and this is not just a revenge spot for them, but also a bounce back one as well. They came all the way back against UNLV last time out as they tied it only to lose on a shot with a few seconds left. They have rarely allowed losses to pile up and they get a chance to avenge a loss to the Broncos from earlier this season. The Aztecs are going to hold the edge in this matchup with their defense. They give up only 65.8 ppg and they have continued to step up on their home court with timely stops. Boise State comes in on a low themselves after losing to Nevada and they’re going to run into the most physical team in the conference on Friday. Expect this game to be at a slow tempo and for the Broncos to have issues finding open shooting lanes. San Diego State is one of the best at turning defense into offense and they should be able to force Boise State into a lot of turnovers and difficult shots. Boise State are 1-6 SU in their L7 when playing on the road against SDSU. On the other side, San Diego State are 14-6 SU in their L20, and are 20-0 SU L20 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON!

03-08-24 | Wolves +1.5 v. Cavs | 104-113 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Timberwolves +1.5 Wolves (44-19) going for 3 in a row take on the Cavs (40-22) tonight at the RMF tonight at 7:30pm ET. In a surprising victory, the Timberwolves took down the Indiana Pacers last night, despite KAT's absence. Now, facing the Cavaliers in a back-to-back challenge, we're on the Wolves again tonight. Why? The Cavs have suffered significant injuries. Minnesota's resilience, coupled with a strong track record on short rest, makes them a favorable bet. (7-2 L9 on B2B's). The Cavs have alternated wins/losses in their L6, and lost last game out 112-101 to the Hawks Wednesday. These two last played on 1/14/23, a 110-102 Wolves W. They covered the +4.5 in that one, and the total stayed UNDER the 224.5. Minnesota has leaned all season long on their defense and with the injuries they’ve had, they have leaned on it far more as of late. They come in on back to back wins and they held the opposition to 114 and 111 points in the wins. Overall this season, Minnesota has given up just 106.5 ppg which is one of the best marks in the NBA. They are such a physical and frustrating team to deal with as opponents rarely get anything easy outside with their shooters and they dominate the paint with their length and ability to only allow one shot per possession. They matchup well with Cleveland in this one as the Cavs have been missing many key pieces on their end. Cleveland fell to Atlanta and now have to come back with a game against a very physical Minnesota side that wears teams down. Expect Cleveland to struggle shooting as Minnesota will be all over their shooters consistently here. Look for this game to be played at much slower pace too, which favors Minnesota. Cleveland loves to get out and run and we’ve seen at times they look sloppy when playing against slower teams in the league. Trends, Wolves are 9-3 SU L12, and 6-1 ATS L7 vs. the Cavs. Cavs are 1-5 ATS L6 at home, and 2-9 ATS L11 overall. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

03-07-24 | Bulls +8 v. Warriors | 125-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 25 m | Show | |
Chicago +8 Chicago has the value here, grabbing the points on the road. The Bulls have been one of those teams you really don’t want to see at times. They have played some of the top teams extremely tough and they’re coming in with momentum on Thursday. Chicago has won back to back games on this road trip to start, as they took down Sacramento and Utah. The Bulls are getting production all around, which included 3 players scoring over 20 points in the win last time out against Utah. DeRozan has 33 and 29 point performances in the two wins as he continues to step up in a big way for Chicago. He’s the difference maker and spark to this offense and he should be in store for another big night. While the Warriors have been playing much better, they still have their inconsistencies and this is too many points to lay with them in this spot. Grab Chicago in a game they’re going to keep close and have the opportunity to even steal it late in the game if a couple of breaks go their way. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Cleveland State +10 We’re backing the Vikings here, with the points, in the Horizon League Quarterfinal. Cleveland State and Youngstown State split the regular season matchups and this is just too many points. Cleveland State had to play in the opening round of the Horizon League Tournament and that could actually play to the advantage here. They routed IUPUI on Tuesday and it allowed them to stay in rhythm while YSU was off. Cleveland State comes in as the 7 seed, but this team just as easily could have been better. They lost many close games and had things go against them late in games, which eventually will even out over the course of the season. They have the playmakers to keep this thing close and even with the chance to steal it. They have arguably the best player in the league in Tristan Enaruna, who is averaging 20 ppg, 6.6 rpg, and 2.8 apg. He will step up in this game and should provide the Vikings a huge boost. Expect a fast paced game that is back and forth that should come down to the wire here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Thunder -13 Tonight, the struggling Trail Blazers (17-43) aim to break their losing streak at home against the formidable OKC Thunder (42-19). Tipoff at 10pm ET. The Thunder opened as favorites by 11.5 points with an over/under of 224.5. The Thunder rank 4th in NBA scoring (120.9 PPG), but 13th in points allowed (113.3). Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers are 28th in scoring (107.6 PPG) and 17th in points allowed (115.7), illustrating their defensive struggles. Oklahoma City is going to come out and even take out some frustration here over Portland. Portland has been a punching bag for so many teams this season and they’ve even been getting knocked around at home. They have failed to cover in their last 7 home games and 6 of those they’ve lost by double digits. Oklahoma City needs to find their groove again and this is the perfect team to run into. The Thunder have two absolute blowout wins over Portland this season, 139-77 in OKC and then here in Portland in a 134-91 fashion. This is a great spot for the Thunder to get momentum back and run wild on Portland. This defense is one of the worst in the NBA they’re going up against, as they’re averaging 115.7 ppg against. Oklahoma City has been lethal after a day off too. Coming into this one, they are 31-18-1 ATS following an off day. They’ve dominated this head to head series and right now, Portland has nothing going for them. Look for a lopsided game from the start and for the Thunder to really make a purpose to get out and run in transition on this defense. Trends, OKC 7-2 ATS L9, 7-2 SU L9, 9-2 ATS L11 vs. PDX, and 10-0 SU L10 vs. PDX. Plus OKC are 9-2 SU L11 vs. NORTHWEST div teams. On the other side PDX are 3-7 ATS L10, 0-7 ATS L7 at home, and 3-16 SU L19 vs. WESTERN Conference teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

UConn -4.5 The Huskies are the move in this game as they look to continue their push toward the top seed overall in the NCAA Tournament. UConn took it to Seton Hall last time out and it clinched their regular season conference title. There is still plenty of work to be done for the Huskies and a win over the #8 team, on the road, will go a long way. They catch a huge break for starters here as Marquette will be without Tyler Kolek in this matchup. He leads the nation with 7.6 assists per game and he’s been a huge piece to this offense rolling. We saw how much he is being missed already as Marquette fell by 14 on Saturday to Creighton. That’s going to be another huge factor in this matchup as the Huskies can just simply overwhelm teams. UConn holds one of the best marks in the conference as they put up 81.6 ppg. They can get up and down the floor quickly and will have Marquette on their heels. That’s exactly what Creighton did to them and UConn is going to run wild on this defense. This is going to be a lopsided game where the Huskies can get out in transition, while also dominating the paint on each end of the floor. This is a huge mismatch and UConn is going to send a message with the conference tournament coming up. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

South Carolina +6 The South Carolina Gamecocks will play host to the Tennessee Volunteers on Wednesday at Colonial Life Arena. Tip-off between the Southeastern Conference competitors is at 7:00 p.m. ET. We're grabbing the points here with South Carolina, at home. The Gamecocks have 3 wins in a row as they continue to be the surprise team in the SEC. They're doing it on the defensive end as they are one of the best in the entire nation when it comes to the defensive end. Coming into Wednesday, the Gamecocks rank 25th in the entire nation, allowing just 65.6 ppg. During this 3 game winning streak, they have allowed performances of just 59, 68, and then 76 to the high flying Gators attack. This team is no fluke and they proved that in a 63-59 win at Tennessee earlier this year. They can not only build off that game, but they're going to force the Volunteers into playing at their speed. This is the kind of game that is going to be slow and knock Tennessee off their game. South Carolina is making a case for a good seed come tournament time and a win here would do wonders. They can match the intensity and they're going to come out looking to make a statement here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Mavericks -4.5 The Indiana Pacers (34-28; 32-27-3 ATS) and the Dallas Mavericks (34-27; 32-29 ATS) clash on Tuesday night. This cross-conference showdown at American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas. Dallas has the value as this is a revenge spot for them. The Mavericks were knocked around by the Pacers in the latest matchup and they're going to come out looking to push the issue from the start here. Dallas needs to get themselves going again and it starts on the offensive end. The Mavs sit 8th in the NBA in total points, putting up 118.7 per game. They are at their best when they push the issue and play with speed, which the Pacers have had so many issues handling. Indiana ranks 28th in the NBA, allowing 122.0 ppg. They have struggled when it comes to slowing teams down and this has the makings of a game where they are going to be on their heels all night long. Dallas goes up against a defense that is allowing teams to shoot 50.5% from the field this season. The Mavs can catch fire early in this one and find themselves with some easy transition buckets. The Pacers defense is just too hard to trust and that will lead this game to being lopsided in favor of the Mavs. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Toledo -1.5 It’s a Mid-American Conference matchup on the hardwood between a pair of teams out of the MAC. The Toledo Rockets are on the road as they make the trip to take on the Miami (OH) RedHawks Tuesday night. Toledo downed Buffalo 85-79 on the road Saturday in their previous contest, failing to cover the line as a 10.5-point favorite. Miami (OH) won a rock fight as they beat Eastern Michigan 52-37 on the road Saturday, covering the line as a six-point favorite, in their previous game. The Rockets have dominated this series as they captured their 21st straight win in this series after a 68-64 win back on January 5th. Toledo still has an outside chance at capturing the 1 seed and they're going to overwhelm Miami Ohio in this matchup. Toledo comes in averaging nearly 80 ppg this season and they have found a lot of momentum with their offensive firepower. They had 5 players score in double figures against Buffalo last time out as that has been really the story for this team all season. They get contributions up and down their roster, making them so tough to stop. Toledo will get out and run here and come out with a lot of speed in this one. Miami Ohio has had their issues offensively. They average nearly 10 points less per game than the Rockets and ultimately they won't be able to keep up. We're getting a much better team at a good price. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

OVER 227.5 The Bulls (28-32) battle the Kings (34-25) at Golden 1 Center in Sac Town, CA, Monday, 10pm ET. Opening odds favor Kings by 6.5 points with a 229-point total. Bulls lost 113-97 to the Bucks; Kings beat the Timberwolves 124-120 in their last outings. Chicago and Sacramento are both young teams and fast paced, which should provide a lot of a fireworks here in this matchup. Chicago dropped 130 in a 2 OT win over Cleveland before allowing 113 points to the Bucks in a loss. Now they get a look at a Kings team that is going to run wild on them. The Kings play with such tempo and they’re going to be hard to stop in this spot, Sacramento averages over 118 ppg and they are one of the best at getting out in transition. They are successful with the more speed they play with and the Bulls defense has had a ton of issues with fast paced teams. In turn, the kings have had so many issues defensively because of how quickly they play. They’re right around what they average on the offensive end, as they give up 117.9 ppg defensively. Chicago has found themselves right in the thick of the bottom of the East playoff race as they are a tough team to stop offensively. They seem to play up to the competition level too and will match the tempo of the Kings. Look for a back and forth game with both sides creating a lot of open shots. Trends, Sacramento has seen the total go over in 9 of their L13 games, including 5 of their L6 at home. Chicago has had the total go over in 8 of their L12, 8 of 9 against Pacific teams, and 4 of their L6 in March. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play |

Duke -6 Tonight at 7pm ET from the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC, we get the Duke BLUE DEVILS (23-6) taking on the NC State WOLFPACK (17-12). Duke is the move here on Monday night when they head into NC State. Duke has been on a tear and they’re closing the season with a ton of momentum. They have value here in this spot as NC State is trending the opposite way. The Wolfpack have dropped 3 of 4 and now are likely going to need a deep run in the conference tourney to even have a discussion if they’re a bubble team. They couldn’t stop the Seminoles or Tar Heels in the latest of two losses and now Duke comes to town on a heater themselves. The Blue Devils throttled a very good Virginia team and held them to under 50 points as Duke has been swarming on both ends of the floor. This is the kind of game where they will turn defense into offense. They’ve rarely allowed over 70 points when they win games and NC state is having a ton of issues on their offensive end right now. They shot 22.2% in the 2nd half against UNC and they’re going to experience many issues like that against this defense. Duke is looking to get themselves back into the discussion for a 1 seed and winning out is the start of that. Look for them to wear down the Wolfpack and pull away in this one. Trends, Duke are 7-1 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, 4-1 SU L5 vs. NCST, and 6-2 SU L8 on the road. NCST are 2-5 SU L7, and 1-7 SU L8 in March. Plus, they're 3-11 L14 ATS on Monday night's at home.

03-03-24 | Knicks v. Cavs OVER 213 | 107-98 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
OVER 213 Tonight at 7pm ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland OH, we get the NY Knicks (35-25) taking on the Cleveland Cavs (39-20). Cleveland leads New York in the NBA standings, yet the Knicks ousted Cavs in last year's playoffs. Last game out the Cavs triumphed in Detroit, ending the Pistons' hopes with a 10-point win, sealing a season sweep. For NY, last game out Brunson led with 27 points in a 110-99 loss to the Warriors on Thursday. This should be a fast paced game. While the Knicks and Cavs battle injuries, this total is dropped because of that. Still, both teams have plenty of playmakers and we’re going to see a back and forth game all night long. Cleveland in particular is one of the fastest teams in the NBA. They average 114.6 ppg but that number continues to go up with their ability to attack the rim. They are one of the best three point shooting teams as well, which adds a lot of value. They will toss up many three pointers and almost everyone on the floor can hit them. New York meanwhile continues to get torched defensively. They know they have to pick up the tempo on their end to match this Cavs intensity, which should lead to a lot of quick shots and transition attempts. We’re going to get a lot of effort from these two teams, given the rivalry that’s started to build. With both defenses just too hard to trust, the Over has a lot of value. Combine that with this game likely being closely played throughout and we will get plenty of quality shots in a high scoring game. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Nebraska -8 Rutgers (15-13, 3-7 AWAY) takes on Nebraska (20-9, 17-1 HOME) Sunday at 6:30pm ET at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln NE. The Huskers look to grab a W which would give them a perfect HOME conference record, which would set a school record for home wins in a season. They're also out for some revenge losing the Knights 87-82 in OT in NJ earlier this season. At home NEB wins by an average of 13 PPG. Nebraska has a lot to play for down the stretch as they welcome in Rutgers on Sunday. Nebraska has to continue to improve their tournament resume and will look to continue their dominance at home. They are 17-1 overall at home this year and perfect in Big 10 play. They did see their 4 game winning streak come to an end so a bounce back would be huge here. Finishing the regular season with wins over Rutgers and at Michigan would give the Cornhuskers 22 wins and line them up for a good season in the Big 10 tournament. This team has thrived on the defensive end and that’s where the value sits on Sunday. They are giving up under 70 ppg and they even had performances in the 50’s and 40’s during their 4 game winning streak. Their high pressure and ability to not allow 2nd chances has led to a ton of success. This is a completely different team than we saw in their 87-82 OT loss to Rutgers earlier this season and they’re going to come out with a lot of aggression knowing how important this one is. They’re the better team and have the value in this spot. Trends, RUT are 1-4 ATS L5, 5-11 ATS L16 vs. NEB, and 2-6 SU L8 on the road. The Huskers are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, and 9-0 ATS L9 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-02-24 | Nuggets v. Lakers +1.5 | 124-114 | Loss | -120 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Lakers +1.5 Tonight, the Nuggets (41-19) seek their 6th consecutive win against the Lakers (33-28) at Crypto.com Arena, 8:30pm ET on ABC. As LeBron James eyes 40K PTS, the Lake Show aim to halt this skid. Will they turn the tide? My answer is YES> The Lakers are now five games above .500 for the first time since December, and in my opinion all signs point to Murray missing this game. Murray left Thursday's game with a right ankle sprain. His Saturday status hinges on pregame warmup results. Jackson may step in if he's sidelined, and I'm banking on this. The Lakers' starting lineup featuring Russell, Reaves, Hachimura, LeBron, and Davis boasts a 7-1 record when they take the floor together. However, in the past 10 games, they're 21st in D, 28th in rebounding, and third in scoring. Not great, but certainly not bad either, in all the Lakers have been playing really well of late, and with a hobbled Murray I think they'll get over the finish line here. Injury notes, Caldwell Pope is (?), and for LA Reddish is probable. LA desperately needs this win to stay close to the soaring Warriors who recently surpassed them in the standings. The Lakers, victorious in 6 out of 7 home games, hold a 9-3 SU record in their last 12. This match presents their prime opportunity to topple the reigning champions. Trends, Denver are 6-12 SU in their L18 when playing on the road against LAL. LAL 6-2 ATS L8 vs. NW DIV teams, and are 7-1 ATS L8 games on SATURDAY's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

03-02-24 | Michigan State +10.5 v. Purdue | 74-80 | Win | 100 | 20 h 57 m | Show | |
Michigan State +10.5 The Spartans are worth a move here Saturday when they head into Purdue. Right now, Michigan State has nobody to blame but themselves as they now find themselves probably on the wrong side of the bubble after back to back losses to Iowa and Ohio State. This is the kind of game where they need to impress and give themselves a chance if they hope to build their resume in the final weeks of the year. The Spartans have really gotten up for tough opponents this year. They took down number 6 Baylor, while giving the likes of Duke, Arizona, and Illinois issues. They also have a win over number 10 Illinois to add to their resume. They do matchup well in some aspects with Purdue and can keep this one close throughout. Michigan State’s defense is the biggest key and they only give up 66.0 ppg. They have really flustered some teams and they are going to really try and not allow anything easy with the big 7 footer in the paint for Purdue. The Spartans do so well with double teams and rotating on the defensive end that they can frustrate Purdue in this matchup. Look for them to slow the tempo down and try to know Purdue off their rhythm. A slow, grind it out game will favor MSU and allow them to keep this one close. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

03-02-24 | Iowa State -3.5 v. UCF | 60-52 | Win | 100 | 16 h 58 m | Show | |
Iowa State -3.5 The Cyclones have tremendous value here laying a small number at UCF. Iowa State has passed just about every test possible this year and they have a shot at being a 1 or 2 seed come tournament time. The Cyclones just wear teams down time and time again and they have no allowed over 80 points in a game since 1/6. In fact, they come in off allowing just 45 points to a good Oklahoma team. Overall, they give up just 62.3 ppg and they have now allowed anything easy for the opposition on the defensive end of the floor. They are one of the best at closing down shooters and you won’t find anything easy at the rim. They also rebound as good as anyone which has given them such a huge edge. They’re going against inconsistent UCF team that has struggled against the top teams in the conference. They are going to struggle with all the pressure Iowa State brings here. This is going to be a very slow paced game, which favors the Cyclones. UCF only averages a bit above 70 ppg and they have seen that number go down against top 25 teams. Look for the Cyclones to impose their will in this one in the paint on both ends of the floor. This is a game the Cyclones have the situational edge in almost every which way. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

03-02-24 | Oregon v. Arizona -13 | 83-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 59 m | Show | |
Arizona -13 The Wildcats are the move on Saturday as they welcome in Oregon. Arizona comes in off two blowout wins over Washington and Arizona State as they continue to march their way toward a potential one seed. They currently sit 6th in the nation and a dominant win over a 19 win Oregon team would go a long way. Arizona is overwhelming teams with their ability to run the floor. You won’t find a quicker team and their pace is just a lot for some of these teams to handle. We saw that earlier this year when they put up 87 on Oregon in their building and right now everything is clicking for Zona. They’re averaging 89.9 ppg this year and shoot the ball at a 49% clip from the field. Oregon is just not quick enough and doesn’t have the firepower to keep up with this team. Expect Arizona to run from the opening tip and really put an emphasis on attacking in transition. An early lead will really put Oregon on their heels and allow Arizona to open this game up. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

03-01-24 | Dayton -1 v. Loyola-Chicago | Top | 72-77 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 7 m | Show |
Dayton -1 We’re on the Flyers (22-5) here, laying the small number on the road. Dayton and Loyola Chicago (19-8) sit tied for 2nd in the A-10 standings currently. The Flyers are in the Top 25, but a loss here can really fracture the Flyers chances at an at large bid. This is the kind of game that is almost a must win and they are going to come out with a purpose here on Friday. Dayton is at their best when they can really force a struggle for opposing teams shooters. The Flyers are one of the best in the entire nation defensively, only allowing 64.6 ppg. They allowed just 66 in a blowout win over Davidson last time out as this defense is just so difficult to figure out. They’ve allowed more than 80 points just once this season which goes to show you how good they are given some of the teams they’ve played. The Flyers are going to turn this into a grind it out kind of game and frustrate the Ramblers. Loyola comes in on a low after getting blown away by the Bonnies last time out and they have had issues at times offensively. That doesn’t bode well going up against a team like Dayton, who will turn the pressure up right from the opening tip. There is great value on the Flyers, who can really take a big step in the right direction toward March. Dayton are 17-3 SU L20, and 12-3 SU L15 vs. ATL 10 teams, and 4-1 SU L5 on Friday. Ramblers are 0-6 ATS L6 home games on a Friday! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday RARE 10* CBB Top Play |

03-01-24 | Blazers v. Grizzlies -1 | 122-92 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Grizzlies -1 On Friday, the Grizzlies (20-39) take on the Blazers (15-42) at Memphis' FedExForum, with tip-off at 8 p.m. ET. The current season series stands tied at 1-1. Includes a Grizz 112-100 win over PDX in PDX. Despite a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves (110-101) on Wednesday, Memphis has covered in 5 of its last 6 games and 9 of their last 14 at home. Conversely, the struggling Trail Blazers have lost 7 consecutive games, failing to cover each time. Injury lists loom large, with key players sidelined for both teams. PDX's Ayton is doubtful (Exited the game against Miami at the half with a right hand sprain), while Brogdon, Henderson, Sharpe, and Williams III are out. Memphis is similarly affected, with Bane, Morant, Smart, and Jackson Jr. all sidelined. Blazers finally going out and hitting the road, as it's been a while, they're horrible away from the Rose Garden. So, my $ is on the Grizz tonight -1. Memphis showed a ton of heart vs. the TWolves last game out, and they aren't quitting on Coach Jenkins. These guys play with hustle and pride and that will be on display tonight. The teams will meet again on Saturday in Memphis on the second night of a B2B. Trends, PDX 0-7 ATS L7, 0-9 SU L9, 1-8 SU L9 on the road. The Grizz are 5-1 ATS L6, and 4-1 ATS L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

03-01-24 | Warriors v. Raptors +3.5 | 120-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Raptors +3.5 (31-27) Warriors take on the (22-37) Raptors in Toronto on Friday night. The Raps won the last matchup between these two teams 133-118 on 1/7/24 in GS, and TOR matches up well against GSW again tonight. Toronto can be a different beast at home, and this team will be amped up to play against a hot Warriors team on a Friday night in the 406. I'm expecting a playoff type atmosphere and I think Toronto can hang with Curry and Paul, feeding off the momentum. GSW come in to this one hunting for their 8th straight road W. Curry is heating up, and the Warriors are getting a ton of service from what looks like a pretty good bench. Helps to have Chris Paul back too. Golden State yields 117.4 PPG (18th), with opponents shooting 47% (10th), including 35% from deep (8th), and securing 42 REB (12th). Conversely, Toronto allows 117.8 PPG (22nd), with opponents shooting 48% (22nd), including 37% from deep (19th). On Wednesday, the Raptors suffered a 136-125 loss to the Mavs, the first game of their 4-game homestand. This defeat halted Toronto's inaugural 3-game winning streak of the season. The Mavs were clearly just a better opponent. Tonight Wiggins and Boucher are the two guys possibly missing time, otherwise these two teams are healthy. The Raptors are 4-1 ATS L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-29-24 | Gonzaga -3.5 v. San Francisco | 86-68 | Win | 100 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -3.5 The Bulldogs have been the center of the bubble talk as they re-entered the Top 25 and now are in the drivers seat coming into play. Still, work has to be done for Gonzaga as they cannot afford any slip ups as they’re feeling the wrath of being in a weaker conference for the first time in quite a while. Their at large status has been questioned, but now it looks like a couple more wins and they’re in regardless. A road win over San Francisco can go a long way and the Bulldogs matchup well with them. Gonzaga has held par and ran through the WCC lately and they come in winners of 6 straight which includes them scoring no less than 86 points in those wins. They’re finally hitting a stride and offensively they’re getting contributions up and down the lineup. They already took down San Francisco earlier this year in a 77-72 win and they can ride that momentum into play here. This game is going to be won still on the defensive end as the Bulldogs have to get timely stops. Gonzaga has stepped up defensively and really put the clamps down when they’ve needed to and that will ultimately be the difference here. Expect them to turn up the pressure and for the Dons into a lot of difficult shots. We’re going to see a lot of turnovers and some easy transition baskets for the Bulldogs that will allow separation as this game goes on. We’re getting the better team at a nice number here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-29-24 | Jazz v. Magic -6.5 | 107-115 | Win | 100 | 5 h 4 m | Show | |
Magic -6.5 We’re on the Magic here, laying the number as they have the edge with home court on their side. Orlando has been a force at home as of late. Orlando has covered in 5 straight home games when laying points. When digging into the numbers further, they’re 11-3 ATS over the span of their last 14 home games as they continue to produce big numbers in home spots. This is not a team you want to see coming down the stretch of the season if you’re the opposition. They play such a physical game and they just wear opponents down. They only give up 110 ppg which is a good mark considering how much scoring is up in the NBA this year. They catch the Jazz in a nice spot. Utah has failed to cover 4 straight road games and they’ve been getting blown away when they lose on the road. Orlando has the ability to dominate the paint against Utah and really force them into some tough shots defensively. The Magic defense is swarming and the Jazz have had issues with teams that play with this Orlando style. We’re getting the better team at a very nice number here with the situational edge. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play |

02-28-24 | Lakers v. Clippers -3.5 | 116-112 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
Clippers -3.5 (32-28) LA Lakers take on the (37-19) LA Clippers tonight. We’re on the Clippers, laying the number here as the battle for Los Angeles takes place on Wednesday night. The Lakers have stumbled a bit out of the break as they look like they’ve lost some steam with injuries and their inability to get stops on the defensive end. Lebron James continues to battle an ankle injury and sat out last week and he continues to try to play not at 100%. The Lakers have just struggled when it comes to the supporting cast of AD and Lebron as there hasn’t been much consistency with the rest of the team. That doesn’t bode well against a Clippers team they’ve struggled with. The Clippers have won 11 of the last 12 in this series and they’ve had the Lakers number for quite some time. They got two huge days of rest since their latest loss to the Kings, which should prove to be a huge edge as they needed the time to get some people healthy. The Clippers are the much more aggressive team and the Lakers have struggled defensively. They let up 45 first quarter points to the Suns last time out and their defense has been suspect really all season. The Clippers have a lot of weapons, both inside and out, that will pick this Lakers defense apart. Trends, LAL 3-12 ATS L15 vs. LAC, and 2-12 SU L14 as well. Plus LAL are 0-7 SU L7 when playing in LA as the AWAY team. LAC are 12-5 SU L17, and 7-2 SU L9 vs. PACIFIC division teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Creighton -8.5 Tonight, the Pirates (18-9) clash with the Bluejays (20-7) at 9pm ET on FS1. Set at CHI Health Center Omaha in Omaha, NE, it's a Big East showdown with an over/under of 144.5 points. Creighton, favored by -8.5, boasts a 20-8 record, while Seton Hall stands at 6-6 on the road. We’re on the Jays who have been a force at home. Creighton has won back to back home games in absolute dominant fashion, which includes a 19 point win over UConn here in this building. The Jays know how important this game is for seeding purposes and they have an edge after beating this Seton Hall team in a thriller in their home arena not too long ago. The Jays have really been one of the best teams on both ends of the floor this year. Offensively they’re putting up over 80 ppg and they have so many threats than can beat the opposition. They shoot the ball in flurries at teams and they can knock down the 3 just as much as beating you inside. defensively, they’re holding teams to under 70 ppg and they aren’t shy about the pressure they produce. They will force a lot of turnovers and tough shots, which turns into some transition buckets the other way for them. They are going to come out with a purpose and overwhelm this Pirates side in this matchup. Trends, SH 2-7 ATS L9 vs. CREI, and 2-7 SU L9 as well. CREI are 4-1 ATS, 4-1 SU L5, and 5-2 ATS L7.

Green Bay +7.5 Going back to the well with a play on a Cleveland State game. Getting the on the road may be what this Green Bay team needs. In a huge Horizon League battle, the value sits with the Phoenix here. Green Bay certainly had their chance at the top spot in the Horizon League, but dropped all 3 games of their homestand. However, they still sit in 3rd and have the chance at a top 4 spot entering Wednesday despite all that. Green Bay beat Cleveland State earlier this year and they will come out here with a lot of aggression. The Phoenix are a defensive minded team and they’re going to really impose their will early in this one on the defensive end. They give up just 67.6 ppg and they need to play this game at their pace. Slowing things down and not turning this one into a track meet is key and they should be able to avoid that given they had success against Cleveland State already once this year. G Noah Reynolds is going to be the spark offensively for them here too. He averaging nearly 20 ppg and he put up 32 in the win over the Vikings earlier this season. When he goes, this offense goes and he has scored 30+ in 2 of the last 4 games. Look for this game to be a grind and stay close throughout, as there is no reason for Green Bay to not have a chance to steal this one. WGB are 12-4 ATS L16, and 12-5 SU L17, plus they're 6-1 ATS L7 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Kansas -6.5 (19-8) BYU takes on (21-6) KU tonight. We’re on the Jayhawks here, laying the points at home against BYU. The Cougars have two road conference wins, both against subpar teams. They’ve beaten UCF and West Virginia away from home during Big 12 play and have had zero success against top teams. Now, they run into an absolute gauntlet here in Kansas. The Jayhawks have won 2 straight which includes an a blowout win over the Longhorns on Saturday in this building. Kansas is picking up steam at the right time. The Jayhawks put up 86 points in the win over Texas, but really it’s been their defense that has stole the show. They’re giving up just 67.6 ppg this year, which is one of the best marks in the nation. They play with such a high intensity on the defensive end, it forces the opposition into some bad shots and turnovers. Kansas has also been able to take these rebounds and turnovers and get out in transition for some easy buckets. They’re going to overwhelm BYU. The Cougars are a streaky team and Kansas is one of the best at closing out on shooters. Expect them to frustrate BYU all night long and not allow any open shooting lanes. This is a good number to lay as they can turn this game into a similar one like Saturday against Texas. Trends, BYU 1-5 ATS L6, 1-7 ATS L8 on the road, and 4-16 L20 vs. BIG 12 teams. KU 15-5 SU L20, 10-0 SU L10 at home, and 5-2 SU L7 vs. B12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Dallas +3.5 We’re on the Mavs here, grabbing the points on the road. Cleveland just hasn’t looked the same as they did out of the break. Two ugly losses to the Magic and 76ers were succeeded by a win over Washington that was less than stellar to say the least. Cleveland needed a 16-3 run late to overcome a 5 point deficit as they took down the lowly Wizards in a struggle of a way. Now, they get a Mavs team that is looking to start up another streak. Dallas came out against the Pacers flat and it costed their 8 game winning streak as they couldn’t find any sort of rhythm. Still, the Mavs are the playing great basketball this month as they continue to really look good on both ends of the floor. During their winning streak, Dallas had not allowed more than 113 points in a game as they really put the clamps down defensively. They’re getting a Cleveland team that has been very inconsistent lately, which should allow them to frustrate the Cavs offensively. There’s a lot of chatter about how Mitchell and Garland play together and a lot of comments being made about Garland’s struggles. Dallas still has plenty of confidence despite the blowout loss to the Pacers and will use that as fuel to come out quickly in this one. Look for a close game where Dallas can steal this one outright. Trends, Dallas are 6-2 ATS in L8, 7-1 SU in their L8, 6-3 ATS L9 vs. CLE, and 5-0 ATS in L5 playing on the road against CLE. Cleveland are 0-5 ATS in their L5. You know what to do. Hop ON!

TCU -2 Two teams with identical overall and league records are set to break the tie on Monday when the #11 Baylor Bears (19-8, 8-6 Big 12) travel in-state to take on the TCU Horned Frogs (19-8, 8-6 Big 12). We're on the home side here as TCU has the situational edge with this game being at home. The Horned Frogs come in 12-2 at home this year and overall they come into this one winners in 3 of their last 4. Two of those wins came at home against Cincinnati and WVU, with a road buzzer beater win at Kansas State mixed in there. TCU is such a tough team to handle offensively. They come in averaging 81.3 ppg and they shoot as good as anyone from the field, shooting 48% as a team. They are going to pick up the pace on Baylor, something they did so well in a 105-102 OT win earlier this season at Baylor. They are at their best when they get out and run, as they are one of the best transition teams. This is going to be a game where they come out with a lot of energy. Baylor has dropped back to back games and going into this environment is never easy for opposing teams. TCU should feed off the crowd energy and will ride the momentum they have. TCU 4-1 ATS L5, 6-3 SU L9, 13-2 SU L15 at home, and 7-2 ATS L9 vs. Big 12 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Grizzlies +2 Monday, 8pm ET: Brooklyn Nets (21-35, 24-29-3 ATS, 8-18 AWAY) take on Memphis Grizzlies (20-37, 28-29 ATS, 7-21 HOME) at FedExForum. Nets slight favorites by 1.5 points, with over/under set at 214.5. The Grizzlies ended a 9-game slump, securing consecutive W's against Houston and Milwaukee. They stumbled in a 101-95 defeat to LAC on Friday. Nets come in losers of 4 in a row, and interim HC Kevin Ollie has his hands full trying to turn the fortunes around of the Nets. It doesn't help that the Nets are 0-4 ATS in their L4 games as a road favorite, and the Grizz are 4-0 ATS L4 as a dog. These two haven't played since NOV 2022. A 127-115 BRK win at home. Before that MEM won 134-124 in OCT 2022. This is a nice spot to fade the Nets. They have been atrocious on the road this season and as of late things have gone extremely bad. Coming into Monday’s matchup, the Nets are now 2-14 ATS since the middle of December on the road. This is a bad situational spot too as the Nets have been on the road for quite some time and they still have to finish things up in Orlando after this one with Memphis. The Grizzlies are a physical team and they actually have momentum, coming in winners in 2 of their last 3. They’ve played some of their best basketball this season at home too. They’re 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games and they’ve actually covered 4 straight home games against the number. Memphis is going to wear Brooklyn down in this matchup. The Grizzlies love to work the ball into the paint and that’s one of the struggles the Nets have had when it comes to defending. Memphis should be able to find success inside and in turn, it’ll open up shooting lanes for the outside threats. We’re getting good value on the better team here. Given the lengthy road trip too, Brooklyn has their sights set on just getting through this trip and getting home. Trends, Nets 1-6-1 ATS L8, 1-7 SU L8, 1-7 ATS L8 vs. MEM, and 2-14 ATS L16 on the road. Memphis are 4-1 ATS L5, 8-2 ATS L10 at home, and 5-2 ATS L7 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON!

Warriors -1.5 The Warriors (29-26, 29-24-2 ATS) host the Nuggets (38-19, 24-32-1 ATS) at Chase Center Sunday, tip-off at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN). The season series favors the Nuggets 3-0. Despite three prior losses to the Nuggets, the Warriors covered the spread each time, notably losing 130-127 on Jan. 4. With an 8-1 ATS record in their last nine games, GSW, fresh off a 97-84 win against the Hornets, are poised for success. Golden State has value here as they’ve been one of the hottest teams in the NBA. This is a chance for them to really make a statement on Sunday. They take on the defending champs on national tv and a win here really will showcase the Warriors are back to their old selves. They’ve won 3 straight games and the last two we’ve surprisingly seen their defense make some huge plays. In particular, they allowed only 84 points in a win over Charlotte as it’s almost unheard of in today’s game to see someone be held to that low of a point total. Still, this team is build on their offense and they’re rolling right now. Thompson has been coming off the bench and put in 13 last time out as his contributions are starting to come back. Curry and company are moving the ball and they’re creating a lot of open shots which has been the biggest key. They’re shooting at a 47.3% clip as well, which has gone up significantly thanks to their success this month. Look for them to use their tempo and not allow the Nuggets to get into their rhythm offensively. The Warriors have a lot of confidence and momentum right now they’re going to ride with into this matchup. Trends, DVR 2-4 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams, and 1-6 ATS L7 vs PACIFIC div teams. GSW are 8-1 ATS L9, 8-1 SU L9, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams, and 5-0 ATS L5 vs. NW DIV teams, lastly, they're 14-6 SU L20 on Sunday's at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Rockets won 114-110 against Suns last game out, covering in 3 consecutive home games. Thunder beat Wizards 147-106, they're only 5-6 ATS in last 11. Houston has been sneaky tough and they’re proving it once again as they come in with momentum after taking down the Suns. Houston had 6 different players score 14 or more which includes Smith and VanVleet both scoring over 20 in the win. Thats been the theme to success for the Rockets as they have used their depth and got production all around this year when they’re playing their best. The Rockets have gone 2-2 over their last 4 with the other win coming over the Knicks. They have played very well at times against the top teams in the NBA and should matchup well with OKC. The Thunder will be in a bit of a trap spot here too. After a string of tough games this month and then blowing out lowly Washington, they have to come into a home and home with Houston. The Rockets play with such physicality they can wear teams down with their paint play. The Thunder will have their hands full and struggle with the Rockets ability on the defensive end. Houston only concedes around 112 ppg and will not allow these Thunder shooters to get open. Trends, OKC are 2-5 ATS L7 vs. HOU, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. HOU. OKC are also 0-5 ATS L5 on the road in Houston. For HOU they're 4-1 ATS L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

02-25-24 | Ohio State +10 v. Michigan State | 60-57 | Win | 100 | 14 h 19 m | Show | |
Ohio State +10 We're on the Buckeyes here, grabbing points on Sunday night as they take on Michigan State. The Buckeyes are all but dead when it comes to any shot at an at-large bid for the tournament. Their focus is shifted to either making an epic run in the Big 10 Tournament or another postseason tourney. They have value here as they matchup with this Michigan State team in most aspects. The Buckeyes have the win over Purdue a few games back and then gave a very good fight against Minnesota where they ultimately came up short. Still, this team looks like they have far more energy after the coaching change. They're getting contributions up and down on the offensive end as they've put up 73 and 79 points in their last two outings. They take on a very inconsistent Michigan State defense that let up 78 to Iowa last time out. The Spartans have been a tough team to trust just overall. One night they can look so powerful and the next it is a huge struggle. Ohio State can attack the rim in this one and really make a point to win the battle in the paint. Michigan State's inconsistency is going to make it tough to cover a spread this high. Their offense is one of the worst in the conference, putting up just 75.0 ppg. Look for this game to be close throughout. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-24-24 | Washington State -5.5 v. Arizona State | 61-73 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 31 m | Show | |
Washington State -5.5 We're on the Cougars here, as they look to build off another big win. Washington State has quietly been one of the best teams in the Pac-12 as they continue to string together wins, which includes an upset win on the road at Arizona which removed all doubt when it comes to their resume for March. Washington State has won 8 straight games and they are one of the best shooting teams in the country. The Cougars come in shooting at a 47.3% clip from the field entering play. They wear opponents down with their physicality as they will win the battle in the paint. Arizona State gives up nearly 74 ppg themselves and they have struggled with teams built like Washington State. This is going to be the kind of game where the Cougars will put emphasis on winning the battle in the paint on both ends of the floor. The Sun Devils have allowed the opposition to hit at 45% clip from the field and they have had a ton of issues inside conference play. They're also one of the worst rebounding teams in the nation, which the Cougars can take advantage of with their length. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-24-24 | Auburn -7 v. Georgia | 97-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 31 m | Show | |
Auburn -7 SEC play continues this weekend with a matchup between the #14 Auburn Tigers (20-6, 9-4 SEC) and the Georgia Bulldogs (15-11, 5-8 SEC). Auburn has been itching to get back out there as their quest for a 1 seed hit a bit of a snag last weekend when Kentucky took them down in an upset. The Tigers sit 14th in the nation now and will look to pad their resume with a road win. The Tigers are just such a tough team to handle and Georgia is going to have their hands full on both ends of the floor. Coming into this matchup on Saturday, the Tigers rank 22nd in offensive efficiency and 4th in defensive efficiency. They put up 82.2 ppg and they are one of the best in the SEC at turning defense into offense. They will put a ton of pressure on and force the opposition into some careless turnovers, which leads to some easy fast break opportunities. The Bulldogs give up 74.0 ppg on the defensive side and they have had so many issues with teams built like Auburn. The Tigers will put an emphasis on getting out quickly and bouncing back from behind the arc. After an abysmal performance against Kentucky, they know they have to put together a quick start with their shooters. Georgia simply does not have the firepower to keep up in this matchup. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Arizona -15 The Washington Huskies will battle the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday at McKale Center. Tip-off between the Pac-12 opponents is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET. Washington (15-12 SU, 13-13 ATS, and 15-11 O/U) beat Arizona State 84-82 on Thursday. The Huskies are 7-9 in conference competition. Arizona (20-6 SU, 17-9 ATS, and 14-12 O/U) lost 77-74 to Washington State on Thursday. The Wildcats are 11-4 in Pac-12 play. We're backing Arizona to bounce back in a big way here. The Wildcats were stunned by Washington State at home on Thursday night and the quick turnaround is exactly what this team needs here on Saturday. They have the 2nd best offense in the entire NCAA, as they're putting up 90 ppg. This team isn't shy about what they want to do. They will get up and down the floor, looking to take quick shots and put up as many as they can. Washington is going to struggle mightily with this pace. The Huskies give up nearly 77 ppg themselves and have had so many issues with fast teams. Arizona is going to come out with a purpose. They now sit 2nd in the conference and cannot afford a slow start. Look for a very quickly played game and for the Huskies to be on their heels defensively from the start of this one. Arizona will keep their foot on the gas and look to even take out some frustrations from their loss to WSU. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Lakers -9.5 The Spurs (11-45, 26-30 ATS, 6-24 AWAY) and Lakers (31-27, 20-9 HOME, 27-31 ATS) will tip-off at 10:30pm ET on Friday night. This is matchup #3 on the season. Games are split 1-1. Without LeBron, LAL took down the Spurs in their first meeting of the season Dec. 13 in SA. Then only 2 nights later SA got their revenge and stopped their 18-game losing streak. A 129-115 win over LA. Prior to LAL's loss to GS on Thursday night it was announced James was PROBABLE to play tonight, he missed Thursday's game with an ankle injury. The Warriors dominated LAL last night, and starters were pulled with 5-6 minutes left in the 4th. The Kings beat the Spurs 127-122 Thursday night. For tonight I just don't see the Spurs hanging with the Lake Show. Davis, James, Russell are going to be too much too handle for Wemby and co. The Spurs have one of the worst records in the association this year for a reason. Pop's team stinks, and they're the worst team in the WEST. With James back in the fold the Lakers can't afford a loss. Tough games ahead, and a grueling schedule, including a challenging matchup with the Suns & Wizards. This stretch will reveal the Lakers' true identity, they need a big win tonight at home. Trends, Spurs 2-5 ATS L7, 1-9 SU L10, 2-4 ATS L6 vs. LAL, and 1-6 SU L7 on the road. LAL 5-1 SU L6 vs. SAS and 4-2 ATS L6 vs. SAS. Also, LAL 6-2 SU L8, 4-1 ATS L5 at home, 9-3 SU L12 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Youngstown State -2.5 We’re on the Penguins (19-9, 13-10-1 ATS, 6-7 AWAY) on Friday night as they have value on the road. Youngstown State and Milwaukee (14-12, 11-12-1 ATS, 9-3 HOME) both sit in the midst of a log jam of the Horizon League standings and the Penguins have a chance to really take a big step forward here as they try for a top 4 seed. The Penguins have dropped 2 in a row only twice this year and they come in looking to bounce back after a tough loss to Cleveland State. The Penguins still are in the drivers seat right now and they’ve been dominate in spots like this. They come in one of the top teams in the conference on the offensive side. They are putting up 82.3 ppg this season as they just overwhelmed teams with their pace. They have one of the best inside out games as you’ll get threats all over the court with this team. They should have a nice edge against this Milwaukee defense that has struggled. They’ve given up 78.6 ppg this year and let up 97 in an overtime loss to YSU. The Penguins are the better team overall and they’re going to push the tempo on Milwaukee. They’re the better team and will come out with some fire looking to avenge their loss to Cleveland State. YST are 8-3-1 ATS L12, 14-6 SU L20, and 6-1 ATS L7 vs. UWM. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Cavs -3.5 Cleveland (36-18, 28-24-2 ATS, 17-8 AWAY) has value here laying the points in a revenge spot. They fell to the 76ers (32-23, 31-24 ATS, 17-12 HOME) back in Cleveland prior to the break, a game where Philadelphia came out firing on all cylinders. Phili shot 54% from the field and surely that number will go down as they only won by 2 in the contest. Cleveland is also coming in looking for a bounce back and should get a much better performance than last night. They fell to Orlando in a game without Mitchell, who should be back in this one after missing Thursday will an illness. Cleveland also gets Phili on their end of a back to back too. We got a glimpse of what this Phili team really is after they fell to the Knicks 110-96. New York dominated them in every which way and the Cavs can take a page out of their book defensively in this matchup. We’re getting Cleveland in a spot where they don’t let losses pile up either. They should be at full strength here and will come out with a purpose on the defensive end. They give up just 109.3 ppg and have a ton of value in this spot. Trends, Cavs are 17-3 SU L20, 13-3 SU L16 vs. EAST teams, and they're 8-2 SU L10 in FEB. The Sixers are 2-6 ATS L8, 3-10 SU L13, 0-7 ATS L7 at home, and 3-8 ATS L11 vs. EAST teams.

02-22-24 | Lakers v. Warriors -5.5 | 110-128 | Win | 100 | 13 h 54 m | Show | |
GSW -5.5 The Warriors (27-26, 29-24 ATS, 14-14 HOME) and Lakers (31-26, 27-30 ATS, 11-17 AWAY) battle it out to start the stretch run of the NBA season and there is good value on the Warriors here at home. It took them a while, but the Warriors figured things out and they are one of the hottest teams in the NBA all of a sudden. The Warriors are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Thursday games. This month, they have gone 7-2, with the two losses coming in close games against Atlanta (OT) and the Clippers (by 5). They’ve started to get the ball rolling offensively and they’re putting up big numbers heading into play here. They closed the pre all star break stretch with a 140 point performance against the Jazz and have scored 113 points or more in all but one game this month. Klay Thompson had some pressure taken off as he came off the bench and it’s paid off as he’s found his rhythm again. With the Warriors starting to shoot the ball at their normal rate now, they’re able to get out and run and they’re going to do just that against LA. The Lakers stood pat at the deadline and it opened some eyes as Lebron James expressed he wanted some help around him. The Lakers are the kind of team that play with so much emotion, which can cause them to go sideways quickly in a matchup like this. Trends, GSW are 6-1 ATS L7, 6-1 SU L7, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. WEST teams, plus they're 10-2 ATS L12 in FEB. (I like -6 in this too!) You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-22-24 | Celtics v. Bulls +9.5 | 129-112 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Bulls +9.5 Celtics (43-12, 25-27-3 ATS, 17-9 AWAY) take on the Bulls (26-29, 29-25-1 ATS, 15-12 HOME) at 8pm ET tonight at the United Center. The line has moved in our favor here and I'm going to grab the home dog on Thursday night. Chicago has proven to be no pushover and they have value grabbing the points out of the break. Chicago sits 9th in the East and they have been on the fringe of the playoffs all season long. They have also been one of those teams that never seems to back down from top teams in the league and they always give headaches to those teams by keeping games close. Chicago is 3-3 this month and has close losses to the Cavs, Magic, and Kings as they’ve been in every game. Chicago only gives up 112 ppg and they are able to knock teams out of their game with the style they play. They love to be aggressive on the defensive end and they move the ball around as good as any team on the offensive end. They also have played the Celtics tough at times too. Coming into Thursday, they have split the last 10 matchups with the Celtics and the teams split last seasons 4 matchups. Chicago is going to keep this game close on the defensive end. They won’t back down and will keep the Celtics weapons at bay, as they close out so well on shooters. Expect Chicago to slow the tempo down offensively as well, which will play into their favor as Boston tries to play quicker than most teams. Trends, BOS are 2-7-1 ATS L10, 2-8 ATS L10 vs. Bulls, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. CENTRAL div teams. On the other side the Bulls are 4-1 ATS L5, and 6-3 ATS L9 vs. EAST teams. I'm not here to tell you the Bulls pull off a straight up W, but as your friendly neighborhood sports advisor I'm here to tell you +9.5 is too many! I like +8.5 too! Book it Dano!

02-22-24 | Ohio State v. Minnesota -3.5 | 79-88 | Win | 100 | 11 h 60 m | Show | |
Minnesota -3.5 8pm Tip from Minneapolis, MN tonight. Williams Arena hosts Minnesota (16-9, 21-3-1 ATS, 14-3 HOME) vs. Ohio State (14-11, 10-15 ATS, 0-7 AWAY) in B10 action. Golden Gophers are the move with laying the points on Thursday. The Buckeyes had been the biggest letdown of the Big 10 thus far and cleaned house with the firing of their head coach prior to the matchup with Purdue. They opened a ton of eyes and took down the Boilermakers in Columbus on Sunday and this is a perfect spot to fade them with a let down coming on the road. Ohio State has been abysmal on the road and they take on a Minnesota team that has won 3 straight at home here in conference play. Minnesota has been able to really frustrate teams on the defensive end. They are allowing under 70 ppg this season and they’ve really stepped things up defensively too as of late. They’ve forced a lot of turnovers for the opposition and Ohio State is going to get such a physical battle here from a Minnesota team that loves to play tough in the paint on both ends of the floor. Look for this game to turn into a grind and for Ohio State to get many clean looks both from outside and in the paint. With them coming in on a such a high and having to take on a team that plays with such physicality, this is a completely different style that they're going to see here compared to the battle with Purdue. There’s good value on Minnesota here in this spot. Trends, OSU are 3-9 SU L12, 2-6 ATS L8 vs. MINN, and 0-16 SU L16 on the road, plus 2-6 L8 SU vs. B10 schools. MINN are 8-0 ATS L8, 4-2 SU L6, and 13-1 ATS L14 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Cleveland State +2.5 We’re on the Vikings here, grabbing the points on the road. Cleveland State (15-11, 12-13-1 ATS, 4-9 AWAY) and NKU (14-13, 14-11 ATS, 10-3 HOME) are part of this log jam in the middle of the Horizon League standings where 4-5 teams are trying to jump into the top 4 of the standings for the conference tournament. The Vikings continue to play close games and this one is another one that can go either way. Cleveland State took down NKU in overtime in Cleveland earlier this season and the Vikings are coming in off what was one of their most impressive wins of the season over Youngstown State last Saturday. The Vikings go as Tristan Enaruna goes. He put up 31 in the win over YSU and he led the charge against this Northern Kentucky side earlier this season when he scored 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the process. The Vikings will play this one at a quick tempo and look to get out in transition. They come in averaging over 76 ppg and are at their best when they can push the tempo on teams. Given the close games really both teams have played this year, this is a good spot for the Vikings to get points. This one can go either way and we get good value with the Vikings. Trends, CST are 4-2 SU L6, and 8-3 SU L11 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play |

02-21-24 | Colorado State +7.5 v. New Mexico | 66-68 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
Rams +7.5 We are going to be in for a treat on Wednesday night at 10pm ET from THE PIT in in Albuquerque, NM when we get the CSU Rams (20-6, 3-5 AWAY, 14-11 ATS) taking on the New Mexico Lobos (20-6, 11-2 HOME, 17-8 ATS) for some College hoops action. This is matchup #2 this season. The Rams secured victory in their prior clash, triumphing at CSU on Jan. 2nd 76-68. In that match, the Rams were favored by 4. New Mexico opened this matchup favored by -5.5 with a total set at 155.5 points. In their recent streak, the Rams have won 5/6, and last game out they grabbed a 75-55 win against Utah State at home, favored by 6. In contrast, the Lobos have been alternating wins and losses in their 6 previous games, suffering an 81-70 defeat against SDSU on the road, unable to cover the 6-point spread as dogs. Colorado State has sat in the Top 25 for eight total weeks now and they are not a team you want to overlook. The Rams will play through Isaiah Stevens, who leads the team with 16.2 ppg to go along with 7.4 assists. He’s been the go to guy for this offense and has produced many big games for this offense. He comes in off an 18 point performance and the Rams as a team have put up nearly 78 ppg. They are one of the toughest teams to guard in the conference, but really they win games with their defense. They give up only 67.8 ppg and they do not allow anything easy. They are one of the best at turning defense into offense and will look to force a lot of turnovers with their high pressure. As a team, they shoot nearly 50% and that ultimately is a lot for teams to slow down. They can come at teams with so many different angles and they’ll do that here on Wednesday. Trends, CSU 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 6-1 SU L7 vs. NM, and 4-1 ATS L5 in FEB. CSU have also won the L2 matchups vs. NMEX dating back to 3/3/23. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Miami +5.5 Wednesday night at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, FL it's the Duke Blue Devils (20-5, 14-10-1 ATS, 5-3 AWAY) taking on the Miami Hurricanes (15-11, 14-11-1 ATS, 11-3 HOME). The Hurricanes are the move in this spot on Wednesday. Miami right now needs a win and a signature win to even just give themselves a chance to get into the conversation for the tournament right now. They started this season off red hot and have tapered off since, but this team isn’t one you want to overlook. The Canes have to get back to what has made them so successful and that’s winning games on the defensive end. They’ve failed to play games at the pace that makes them at their best and they’re going to slow things down on this Duke team come Wednesday night. Miami was typically allowing the opposition to get under 70 points when they were at their best and they were doing it with key stops and not allowing second chances. They are going to put an emphasis on controlling the paint in this matchup and they know they have over Duke out of rhythm early. Look for them to play through center Norchad Omier, who leads the team with 17.8 ppg and nearly 10 rpg. He is the key to this team’s success as he can help control the pace and help Miami win the battle in the paint at both ends of the floor. Miami has won 3 of 4 regular season matchups against Duke as well. Some trends to consider, Duke 1-5 ATS L6 vs. MIA. MIA are 16-4 SU L20 at home, and are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-20-24 | Connecticut v. Creighton +3.5 | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Creighton +3.5 8:30pm ET tip from the CHI Health Center Omaha in Omaha, NE on Tuesday night we get Creighton (19-6, 13-12 ATS, 11-2 HOME) hosting UConn (24-2, 16-10 ATS, 6-2 AWAY). Opening odds for this one have UConn (-3), Total: 145, and the Moneyline: UConn (-152) | Creighton (+128). Last games out, UConn dominated at home, effortlessly securing an 81-53 victory against the Golden Eagles. UConn opened eyes around the nation with a blowout win. Their teamwork shone through with 15 more assists than their rivals. Meanwhile, Creighton's close halftime against the Bulldogs transformed as they scored 45 points in the second half, leading to a convincing 79-57 win. This promises to be an exciting end-to-end matchup with two of the higher scoring teams in the nation. They last met up on Jan 17, 2024 - UConn 62 vs. Creighton 48. UConn have been deemed the team to beat now and a huge target is on their back entering play on Tuesday. A quick turnaround road test against a very good Creighton team is never easy either. The Jays have been a grind team all season and they’ve had to really win some of these games with their physicality. This will be a game they have to impose their will early and they’re going to do that. They can do it on both sides of the ball. They’re averaging over 81 points per game this season while only conceding 69.3 against. They’ve been able to control the pace and dictate the paint on both ends of the floor for the most part. Both of UConn’s losses this year have come on the road and they are going to walk into a very hostile environment on Tuesday. Creighton is going to lean on their defense, that gave up just 57 points last time out to Butler. They can get key stops and not allow 2nd chances and that should bode well for them as this game goes on. They have the scorers to match UConn and they can hit teams from many different angles both inside and out. They’re going to look to pad their resume and this is the perfect upset spot to do it in. Trends, UConn are 2-6 SU in their L8 games vs. Creighton. Creighton are 10-3 SU in their L13, 6-2 SU L8 vs. the Big East, and 14-6 SU L20 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

CMU -1.5 Bowling Green (16-9 , 10-13 ATS, 4-5 AWAY) visits CMU (15-10, 14-10 ATS, 8-2 HOME) on Tuesday night at 7pm ET. The Chips have good value here as they continue to open some eyes in the MAC. Central Michigan comes in 9-3 overall in league play and sits 3rd in the conference standings. They’re one of the hotter teams in the conference as well as they’ve won 7 of their last 8 games with that lone loss coming to the top seeded Akron Zips. They’ve done it on the defensive end and it’s been rather impressive in what they’ve done. Even in the loss during this stretch, they only gave up 68 points to one of the best offenses in the conference. They haven’t allowed more than 77 points and they’ve only only more than 70 points twice because both games went into double overtime. Overall, CMU is giving up just 64.6 ppg in conference play. They beat BG in one of those double overtime games and they’ve won their last 5 home games overall. They’re the better team and hotter team coming in with momentum. Look for CMU to slow this game down and knock BG out of rhythm again, as that’s been the speciality for this Chips side. When they can keep the pace down, they’re able to play their style of game and it’s paid off. Trends, BG are 2-6 ATS L8, 2-5 SU L7, and 3-11 ATS L14 on the road. CMU are 7-1 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, 5-0 ATS L5 at home, and 13-6 ATS L19 vs. BG at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-19-24 | Virginia +3.5 v. Virginia Tech | 41-75 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 54 m | Show | |
Virginia +3.5 UVA (20-6, 14-11-1 ATS, 4-4 AWAY) takes on VA. Tech (14-11, 11-14 ATS, 11-2 HOME) on Monday night t 7pm ET. We’re on Virginia, who is in a nice spot here entering Monday. The ACC is having a bit of a down year and projections have shown that they may only get 3-4 teams into the tournament right now. Virginia sits in the Top 25 and they’re looking to boost their resume here with another win as they’re one of the hottest teams right now. Virginia has won 9 of their last 10 games and they’re doing it in the most Virginia way possible. The Cavaliers have dominated on the defensive end and come in off a 49-47 win over Wake Forest last time out. Virginia has only given up 57.9 ppg this year, which is one of the best marks in the entire nation. They held this Hokies team to just 57 points earlier this season in a win and they are going to do the same thing to them here on Monday night. Va Tech has dropped 4 of 5 overall and they have struggled to find any sort of rhythm lately. That certainly doesn’t bode well when you have to deal with this kind of defense from Virginia. Look for this game to be slowly played and for the Cavaliers to really frustrate the Hokies on both ends of the floor. This will be a lower scoring game where Virginia forces a lot of turnovers and tough shots for Virginia Tech. Trends, UVA 9-1 SU L10, 7-3 ATS L10 vs. VATech, and 14-6 SU L20 vs. VATech. UVA are also 9-2 SU L11 vs. ACC teams. VATech are 1-4 ATS L5, plus, they're 1-4 SU L5. I'm on Virginia +3. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-24 | NC State +7.5 v. Clemson | 78-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
NC State +7.5 7:45pm ET we have NCST (15-9, 10-13-1 ATS, 3-4 AWAY) taking on Clemson (17-7, 14-10 ATS, 9-3 HOME) on Saturday. We’re taking the Wolfpack here, grabbing the points on the road on Saturday night. NC State is on the wrong side of the bubble right now as they are struggling to find their signature win and boast their resume. After back to back losses, they now have a lot of work to do just to get back into the conversation even. They got a week off to refresh and now come in for the home stretch with a few opportunities to make a splash. This is one here, as they take on a Clemson team that can easily be a top 25. NC State will come out with much more aggression and they need to lean on DJ Horne to be that igniter. He leads the team, averaging 16.8 ppg and he’s been the go to guy this season when they need a clutch basket. This is going to be a game where the Wolfpack want to control the paint on both ends of the floor. They only give up around 71 ppg in conference play and they are their best when they can close the paint down and only allow one shot for the opposition. They can take advantage of Clemson’s over aggressive style and look to push out after a defensive rebound. The Wolfpack will be in this game and should have their chances at even stealing it. They will put an emphasis on working the ball inside on the offensive side and should be able to find success themselves at the rim. A trend to note, NCST are 4-2 ATS L6 Saturday games on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-24 | Kentucky v. Auburn -8.5 | 70-59 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 1 m | Show | |
Auburn -8.5 We’re on Auburn here, laying the number at home in a marquee matchup on Saturday night. This is a statement game and the Tigers have a chance to really send a message not just to the SEC, but to the entire nation here with another huge win. They have a huge edge here in a couple areas. For starters, Kentucky’s defense is just not trustworthy at this point in the season. They rank near the bottom in total defense in the conference and in the nation entering play. They’ve given up 82.3 ppg in conference play this year and we’ve seen them flop many times against top tier opponents on the defensive end. This doesn’t bode well for them when they take on an Auburn team that has put up 83.1 ppg this year and just dropped 101 points on the number 11 team in the country last time out in this building. Auburn is undefeated at home and we’ve seen some amazing performances by this team here. Auburn is going to overwhelm the Wildcats from the start and really cause so many issues on both ends of the floor. The Tigers will dictate the pace and have Kentucky scrambling defensively. Auburn will have a ton of fire and come out to make a statement on Saturday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

02-17-24 | Youngstown State v. Cleveland State +3 | 73-81 | Win | 100 | 17 h 49 m | Show | |
Vikings +3 We’re on the Vikings, at home, Saturday afternoon. Cleveland State comes in off a rare home loss and now they’re in the middle of the pack, desperate for a win to keep a couple things alive. They’d love a chance at the very least of hosting a first round game come conference tournament time and they need to figure things out here against YSU. The good news for them, they have played their best basketball at home this year and have came up with some clutch wins inside this building. The Vikings key to success here will be attacking and pushing the tempo. Youngstown State has been very inconsistent when it comes to the defensive end. They allow over 72 ppg and have struggled at times when it comes to transition play. Cleveland State has shown they like to play with tempo and they’re at their best when they can grab a rebound and get out quickly. The Vikings have a compliment of 3 point shooters as well, so opening up shooting lanes will come from their tempo. The Vikings have came up clutch at home more this season and they have an edge in this matchup given the location. Add the revenge factor in and there’s value on the Vikes. Trends, YST are 4-9 ATS in their L13, and they're 3-10 SU in their L13 vs. CLEST, they're also 0-6 SU in their last 6 games when playing on the road against CLEST. On the other side Cleveland State are 18-2 SU in their last 20 games at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-16-24 | Villanova v. Georgetown OVER 139 | 70-54 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 27 m | Show | |
OVER 139 Nova (13-11, 7-5 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) take on the Hoyas (8-16, 10-14 ATS, 7-8 HOME) on Friday night. We’re expecting a very high scoring and quick paced game when Nova and Georgetown meet on Friday night. Georgetown has been an absolute mess defensively. They hold the worst shooting percentage against in the conference as they’re allowing the opposition to shoot 52.5% from the field. They’ve allowed 82.1 ppg in conference play and they’ve had so many issues where they’ve seen the opposition scoring in the 90’s at times. They’re catching a Villanova at the wrong time too. The Wildcats are coming in after scoring 80 points in a win over Seton Hall and they’re going to pick apart this Hoyas defense on Friday. Expect them to push the issue and have Georgetown allowing a lot of open looks. The Hoyas need to match the tempo, which benefits the Over in this spot. Georgetown has scored 71.6 ppg themselves this year and they know they have to score quickly in this game. Expect this game to feature a lot of transition buckets and back and forth action. This game will be played extremely quick. Trends, NOVA are 2-6 SU L8, 2-5 ATS L7 vs. GTOWN, plus they're 1-4 SU L5 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-15-24 | Utah +2 v. USC | 64-68 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 13 m | Show | |
Utah +2 Pac 12 action on Thursday. Utah (15-9, 11-13 ATS, 1-5 AWAY) take on USC (9-15, 10-14 ATS, 6-5 HOME) at 11pm ET from the Galen Center in Los Angeles, CA. We’re taking Utah here, with this short of a line on Thursday night. USC has just been an ultimate fade. This team has done nothing to prove they’re going to turn things around as they were battered by Stanford 99-68 on Saturday. The loss was a summary of what this season has been for USC. The Trojans are one of the worst in the conference, allowing 75.3 ppg this season. They have been far too inconsistent to trust offensively as well. While they’ve battled injuries, they’ve also just had zero rhythm with their lineups. They’ve now dropped 8 of 9, with the lone win coming against a weak Oregon State team. Utah can’t afford to drop this one either. The Utes dropped both in their Arizona swing and they now have to pile up some wins here to end the season. They’ve averaged nearly 80 ppg this season as this offense is deep and can threaten a lot. They love to get out and run, which has opened a lot of shooting lanes for them. They’re the better team and in this spot, USC just has zero confidence right now. Trends, SC are 1-5 ATS L6, 1-8 SU L9, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. PAC 12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |
