05-18-21 | Hornets v. Pacers -3 | 117-144 | Win | 100 | 14 h 7 m | Show | |
HORNETS @ PACERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER I honestly do not think Charlotte will stand much of a chance here in Tuesday's play-in game at Indiana. The Hornets are stumbling into the postseason, losing five in a row and 15 of their last 21 overall and they failed to hold on to an 11-point lead in the fourth quarter in a loss to Washington in their regular season finale. Additionally, note that forward Gordon Hayward (19.6 points per game) will not play due to a sprained foot. The Indiana Pacers on the other hand are playing well. They are 6-0-1 ATS in their last seven games and secured homecourt advantage with a dominant 125-113 win over the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. Hornets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. 8* play on Indiana Pacers. |

05-16-21 | Hornets v. Wizards -6 | 110-115 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
SUPER EARLY HORNETS @ WIZARDS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER Big game for both sides as the winner of this matchup will clinch the No. 8 spot in the East. I think the Washington Wizards have a big advantage here as tney've been playing rather well down the stretch while the Hornets are coming off four straigth losses, most recently a 118-109 OT loss at New York last night. The Wizards have had a day of rest since their last game. Wizards are 18-4 ATS in their last 22 games playing on 1 days rest. Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Hornets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. 8* play on Washington Wizards. |

05-11-21 | 76ers -6.5 v. Pacers | 94-103 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
76ERS @ PACERS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Tough, tough spot for the Indiana Pacers who will be playing on on rest following a 111-102 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night while the Philadelphia 76ers have been idle since Saturday's 118-104 win over the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers would clinch the Eastern Conference's top seed with a win tonight, granted that the Nets lose to the Bulls. The Pacers are shorthanded with T.J. Warren (left foot stress fracture) and Myles Turner (right toe) definitely out. Additionally, Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), JaKarr Sampson (concussion) and Jeremy Lamb (knee) missed last night's game. The Sixers are not at full strength either, but they're well rested and I think the visitors will run away with this game. 8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

05-11-21 | Wolves -7.5 v. Pistons | Top | 119-100 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Timberwolves put a 128-96 beating on Orlando last time out. The Wolves talented young guns led by Karl-Anthony Towns, D'Angelo Russell and potential rookie of the year Anthony Edwards are showing no interest in tanking. They are 4-1-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. The Detroit Pistons have lost six of their last seven games, and covered the spread only twice during that stretch. In their last game, the Pistons took a 108-96 loss to the Bulls. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |

05-10-21 | Jazz -2.5 v. Warriors | Top | 116-119 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 10 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* JAZZ @ WARRIORS PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz are looking good to clinch the No. 1 seed in the West. They've won five games in a row and six of their past seven, and they're 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings with Golden State. The Warriors have clicked into gear as well winning four of five and six of their past nine, but Utah is a much tougher team than any other opponent they've faced during that stretch. While Golden State is pretty much the definition of a one-man show, Utah is quite the opposite and several role players have stepped up to fill the void of injured guards Donovan Mitchell (ankle injury) and Mike Conley (hamstring). Give me the better TEAM as a small road favorite in this one. 10* play on Utah Jazz. |

05-09-21 | Wolves -6.5 v. Magic | Top | 128-96 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Neither the Minneota Twimberwolves nor the Orlando Magic will be playing postseason basketball, but unlike the tanking Magic, the Wolves are still trying to win. Sure, the Wolves have lost their last three games, but you can see they're trying. The Timberwolves are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss and 3-1-2 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Magic are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall. 10* play on Minnesota Timberwolves. |
|||||||
05-07-21 | Magic v. Hornets -7 | 112-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
MAGICS @ HORNETS SIDE The Charlotte Hornets are battling with Indiana and Washington for a favorable position in the play-in tournament. They're a rather sizable favorite in this matchup with an Orlando team since long eliminated from playoff contention, and the under is 13-3 in Hornets last 16 games as a home favorite. The Magic are averaging a league-low 104.1 points per game, and they're highly unlikely to put up big numbers with the season all but over already. I expect the Hornets to get plenty of stops and keep this game under the total. In addition to the under, I also like the super motivated Hornets to win and cover after getting humiliated against Chicago here at Spectrum Center last night. Hornets are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points, and I expect them to absolutely shut down the Magic and run away with the game. 8* play on Charlotte Hornets. |

05-04-21 | Kings -5 v. Thunder | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show |
NBA GAME OF THE YEAR | 10* PACIFIC/SOUTHWEST *BEST BET* The Sacramento Kings have won two consecutive games and five of their past eight. They're still outside of the playoffs spot, and more or less have to win out to have even the slightest chance of making the play-in tournament. The Thunder have already been eliminated from playoff contention, and they've won only one of their last 10 games. With nothing to the play for, the Thunder are giving their young players more playing time. "We're integrating some new guys," coach Mark Daigneault stated. "We've got some new faces. We need to see those guys play in these games." I don't think the Thunder will stand a chance against a Kings team that is clicking. Kings are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games. Thunder are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Kings are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Kings are 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City. 10* play on Sacramento Kings. |

05-02-21 | Heat -5 v. Hornets | 121-111 | Win | 100 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - HEAT Only 2 1/2 games separate No. 7 Miami and No. 8 Charlotte in the Eastern Conference standings, but I hold the Heat as the much better team. Additionally, both teams will be playing on short rest after being in action on Saturday, which I think is an advantage for Miami. Heat are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Hornets are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Hornets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. 8* play on Miami Heat. |

05-02-21 | Knicks -9.5 v. Rockets | 122-97 | Win | 100 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - KNICKS The New York Knicks are 40-22-1 ATS on the season while the tanking Houston Rockets are 22-42 ATS. The Knicks sit fourth in the East and will still need to win games to avoid the play-in tournament while Houston sits dead last in the West with nothing to play for. Knicks are 24-8 ATS in their last 32 games as a favorite. Rockets are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. I'm not scared to lay this number with the Knicks. 8* play on New York Knicks. |

05-02-21 | 76ers -5 v. Spurs | Top | 113-111 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 20 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Philadelphia 76ers are jostling with Brooklyn and Milwaukee for the Eastern Conference regular season crown. They've won each of their last three games by 20+ points and the Sixers are 7-1-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Here they'll take on a San Antonio team off a demoralizing 143-140 overtime loss in Boston, despite holding a 77-48 advantage at halftime. Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog. Spurs are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 10* play on Philadephia 76ers. |

05-01-21 | Pelicans -3.5 v. Wolves | 140-136 | Win | 100 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
PELICANS @ WOLVES NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER The New Orleans Pelicans are still in playoff contention, entering Saturday three games behind Golden State for the final play-in spot in the West. They're coming off a solid 109-95 win at Oklahoma City, and I expect the Pels to win and cover in this matchup with Minnesota. Sure the Wolves have been hot lately, having won six of their last eight and coming into this contest riding a four-game winning streak, but the Pels should be able to grind down a Wolves team with nothing but pride to play for. 8* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |

05-01-21 | Grizzlies -10.5 v. Magic | Top | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 12 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* GRIZZLIES @ MAGIC NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The tanking Orlando Magic are 1-7 SU and ATS over their last eight games. They are 1-6 ATS as double-digit dogs on the season, including a 92-75 loss at Memphis just a couple of nights ago. The Grizzlies sit eighth in the conference, and even have a small chance at making the playoffs without going through the play-in tournament. Grizzlies are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Grizzlies are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Grizzlies are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as a favorite. Magic are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. 10* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

04-30-21 | Wizards -7 v. Cavs | 122-93 | Win | 100 | 16 h 7 m | Show | |
WIZARDS @ CAVS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Washington Wizards are back in playoff contention after haing won 11 of their last 13 games, most recently defeating the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday. Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Cleveland Cavaliers meanwhile are ice cold, losing four straight and seven of their last eight. They're all but guaranteed to miss the playoffs, and even though the Cavs might want to play spoiler, I think the Wizards will be to tough to beat in this one. 8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

04-29-21 | Warriors -5 v. Wolves | Top | 114-126 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 34 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to fade the Minnesota Timberwolves after racking up three straight wins. The Wolves are still nowhere near the playoffs, while the Warriors are right in the thick of it, battling with several teams for the spots to the play-in tournament in the West. I expect a big effort from the Warriors after coming out flat as a pancake against the Mavs on Tuesday in a game where the Warriors mustered only a pathetic 29 points in the first half. Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a double-digit loss at home. Timberwolves are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. 10* play on Golden State Warriors. |

04-28-21 | Lakers -3 v. Wizards | Top | 107-116 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 19 m | Show |
*BIG BET ALERT* | NBA GAME OF THE WEEK | The Los Angeles Lakers are just the fifth-seed in the West heading into Wednesday's action. They need to pick up the pace in order to keep or improve on their position for the playoffs, and I think they'll make light work of Washington in this matchup. Sure, the Wizards had won eight straight prior to a 146-143 OT loss to San Antonio on Monday, but they had played a rather soft schedule. The Lakers are slowly but surely getting healthier, and Anthony Davis was back in the LA Lakers lineup when they snapped a 3-game skid with a win against Orlando last time out. The Lakers 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |

04-27-21 | Blazers -4 v. Pacers | Top | 133-112 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* BLAZERS @ PACERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY We should see a hungry Portland Trail Blazers team after dropping five consecutive games and nine of their past 11. It's only a matter of time before they start picking up wins again as Damian Lillard gets back to health, and I like them to put a beating on a banged up Indiana team on Tuesday. The Pacers have to do without Domantas Sabonis (back strain), and players like Myles Turner, Jeremy Lamb and Goga Bitadze are also dealing with injuries. The Pacers are coming off three straight wins, and I don't think they'll be able to match the desperation and hunger from the Blazers in this one. Trail Blazers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Pacers are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Pacers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a home underdog. Trail Blazers are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Trail Blazers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Indiana. 10/10* play on Portland Trail Blazers. |

LATE NIGHT KINGS @ WARRIORS BOOKIE BU$TER | 10:10 PM Sure, the Golden State Warriors have been hot and the Sacramento Kings cold in recent weeks, but this looks like a good spot to back Sac Town. The Kings have actually won two of their last three games, and they've had plenty of time to prepare for this game since defeating Minnesota on Wednesday. The Warriors meanwhile will be playing on only one day of rest, and they're in a potential letdown spot following a blowout win against Denver, covering the spread by 23 points. |

04-25-21 | Bucks -6.5 v. Hawks | 104-111 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 8 m | Show | |
BUCKS @ HAWKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a dominant 132-94 win against Philadelphia on Saturday. The Bucks could afford to spread out the minutes, and I expect the Bucks to have enough gas left in the tank to care of business against Atlanta despite playing on short rest. The shorthanded Hawks will have to do without their injured leading scorer Trae Young, and their top rebounder Clint Capela is listed as questionable. Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. Hawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 8/10* play on Milwaukee Bucks. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Phoenix Suns will be playing on no rest following a 116-113 win at Philadelphia last night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to take care of Boston. The Celtics are severely shorthanded with Jaylen Brown doubtful, All-Star Jayson Tatum questionable with left ankle impingement and several role players missing as well. Suns are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Suns are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. Suns are 17-5 ATS in the last 22 meetings. 10/10* play on Phoenix Suns. |

04-20-21 | Hornets v. Knicks -5.5 | 97-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY The New York Knicks are top of the league for most defensive ratings. Oddsmakers have struggled to make the totals low enough for games involving the Knickerbockers all season (25-33 over/under overall), and that is particularly true when games are expected to be extremely low-scoring. Note that the Knicks are 10-2-1 to the under in games with a total of 210 points or lower this season, and here they'll face a Hornets team that has struggled to score points of late. Under is 6-1 in Hornets last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 16-5 in Hornets last 21 overall. I also like the Knickers to cover the spread. Hornets are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. Hornets are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Knicks are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite. Knicks are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. 8* play on New York Knicks -5.5. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Miami Heat are coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, most recently a 119-111 setback to the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. The Heat are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games, and I don't like their chances here as a home underdog against a Brooklyn team coming off a dominant 130-115 win against Charlotte. Sure, Brooklyn has James Harden sidelined with a right-hamstring strain, but this is a deep team that can cope. Nets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Nets are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Nets are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 10* play on Brooklyn Nets. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY | GUARANTEED TO WIN The Utah Jazz will be playing on short rest following a 117-11 win over Indiana Friday night. While they have failed to cover big numbers in three straight home games, note that they are 6-1 ATS as road favorites of more than eight points on the season and I think they're looking forward to having a go at this shorthanded Lakers team. Utah put a 114-89 beating on the Lakers (with Lebron in the lineup) at Vivint Arena back in February. This should be another blowout. 10* play on Utah Jazz -8.5. |

04-16-21 | Grizzlies -4 v. Bulls | 126-115 | Win | 100 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
GRIZZLIES @ BULLS TGIF NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Memphis Grizzlies have been road warriors all season, winning 14 of 24 away games straight up. They are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a road favorite. They should be extra fired up here, looking to bounce back from a home loss to Dallas and eager to kick off a seven-game road trip with a win. The Chicago Bulls are only 10-17 SU home at United Center for the season and 17-37 ATS in their last 54 games as a home underdog. For this contest, the Bulls will have to do without leading scorer Zach LaVine who has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols and is expected to miss multiple games. 8* play on Memphis Grizzlies. |

04-16-21 | Heat -6.5 v. Wolves | 111-119 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
HEAT @ WOLVES TGIF NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a couple of blowout home loess to Brooklyn and Milwaukee. The Wolves were held to 97 and 105 points in the two games, and now they'll be matched up against a Heat team that is allowing only 107.5 points per game (3rd). I expect the Heat to be fired up as they look to bounce back from a pair of losses at Phoenix and Denver, and this game will mark the end of a four-game road trip. Heat are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite. Heat are 6-1-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Minnesota. Timberwolves are 18-37 ATS in their last 55 home games. 8* play on Miami Heat. |

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The tanking Houston Rockets have dropped four consecutive games and 9 of 10. Last time out, they gave up 75 first-half points in a 132-124 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Here they'll face a better team than the Pacers in Denver Nuggets who have won eight of their last 10 games and most recently put a 123-106 beating on Miami. They did it without Jamal Murray who tore his left ACL against the Warriors on Monday, and I think the Nuggets will win this one by double-digits. Rockets are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as a home underdog. Road favorites of more than eight points are 34-15-1 ATS (69%) across the whole NBA this season. 10* play on Denver Nuggets. |

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | NBA EAST VS WEST *BEST BET* FOR APRIL A Los Angeles Lakers team with both Lebron James and Anthony Davis in the lineup defeated Boston 96-95 back on Jan 30. Now the Lakers will have to do without their two biggest stars, and I like the Celtics to get their revenge tonight. The Celtics are hot, winning six of their last seven games, the only loss to Philadelphia on April 6. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games while the Lakers are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games. Additionally, note that the Lakers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and I expect a hungry Celtics side to feast on the shorthanded Lakers that might not only be without Lebron and A.D, but Marc Gasol and Markieff Morris are at risk of missing this one as well. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

Playing on short rest should not be an issue against a tanking Houston team that has lost eight of its last nine games. Pacers are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Pacers are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games as a road favorite.

NBA 3-PACK I like to fade the Toronto Raptors here as they'll be playing on short rest after taking a 108-103 loss to Atlanta on Tuesday. They have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six games and they'll face a confident San Antonio team coming off wins at Dallas and Orlando. Spurs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a road favorite. Raptors are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog. Raptors are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. I think the line says it all here, San Antonio takes this one. 8* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

The Orlando Magic got wrecked by Milwaukee on Sunday for a fifth straight defeat. The San Antonio Spurs have not played all that well lately either, but they snapped a five-game skid with a 119-117 win at Dallas on Sunday. Spurs are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day. Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite.

The Portland Trail Blazers are struggling having dropped three of their last four with 127, 133, and 122 points allowed in the losses. The game they won, was as a 12.5-point favorte against OKC. Trail Blazers are 6-14-2 ATS in their last 22 games as a home underdog. The line is moving towards the Heat being favored in this one. Even if they close as an underdog, I still like Miami to win. 10* play on Miami Heat. |

The Raptors are banged up, and Fred VanVleet and Kyle Lowry were among the key players missing in a 110-101 home loss to the Lakers on Tuesday. The Bulls have won two straight after a six-game skid, beating Brooklyn and Indiana. Bulls are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 road games.

TOP-RATED 10* NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME *BEST BET* The Gonzaga Bulldogs had trouble with UCLA in their Final Four matchup while Baylor made light work of Houston last time out. As a result, the Zags are asked to cover only 4.5 points here in the NCAA Championship Game. I think the oddsmakers are overreacting to the team's most recent game. Gonzaga had destroyed everything in its path leading up to the Final Four, and perhaps they underestimated the Bruins. That won't be the case here, and I expect to see a fully focused Zags team run away with the championship. 10* play on Gonzaga. |

TOP-RATED 10* HOUSTON VS BAYLOR NCAA TOURNEY FINAL FOUR *BEST BET* The Houston Cougars have had an extremely easy path on their way to the Final Four, only facing double-digit seeds, but nevertheless almost blew a late lead against 12-seed Oregon State in the last round. The Baylor Bear has been more battle-tested and dominated a tough Arkansas team last time out. This is a big step up in competition for the Cougars, and I'm not sure they'll ready for what Baylor will bring into this game. 10* play on Baylor Bears. |

04-02-21 | Warriors +2 v. Raptors | 77-130 | Loss | -113 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
WARRIORS @ RAPTORS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Golden State Warriors have dropped five of their last six SU and ATS, but I like them to come through here against a Toronto team mired in an even bigger slump. The Raptors are losers of five straight and dropped 13 of 14 games in March. Sure, Toronto has had a day of rest since a 113-103 loss at Oklahoma City on Wednesday while the Warriors will be playing on no rest after taking a loss at Miami last night, but also note that Kyle Lowry (foot infection) will be a miss. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Raptors are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. 8* play on Golden State Warriors. |

03-31-21 | Kings v. Spurs -2.5 | 106-120 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show | |
KINGS @ SPURS NBA SIDE We saw 247 points scored when these two teams clashed here at AT&T Center just a couple of nights ago, a game the Kings won 132-115. The over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings, and I just don't see why this game would be any different. Sacramento has the worst defensive efficiency rating in the NBA, allowing 115.7 points per 100 possessions. While I do think the pace and scoring will be the same, I do expect the Spurs to get the better of the Kings this time around. Kings are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Spurs are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. 8* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

03-30-21 | UCLA +7 v. Michigan | 51-49 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
UCLA VS MICHIGAN ELITE EIGHT BOOKIE BU$TER The 11th-seeded UCLA Bruins look like a live dog in this Elite Eight matchup with the Michigan Wolverines. The Bruins are coming off an upset win as a 7-point against second-seeded Alabama, and Michigan must be overvalued by the oddsmakers, heading into this contest 19-8 ATS on the season, which is the best record among teams left in the tournament. 8* play on UCLA Bruins. |
|||||||
03-29-21 | Heat v. Knicks +4.5 | 98-88 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY The New York Knicks are 28-18 to the under on the season. Through their last six games, the Knicks have held opponents to an average of 100.6 points per game. Five of those six games went under the total. The Knicks have the best scoring defense in the NBA and Miami ranks 4th. Under is 6-1 in Heat last 7 road games. Under is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings in New York. In addition to the under, I also like the Knicks to cover the spread. Miami is banged up and just not playing well at the moment (0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall) while the Knicks have been money against the spread all season and they're 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight. 8* play on NY Knicks. |

OREGON VS USC 8* NCAA TOURNAMENT BOOKIE BU$TER The USC Trojans have looked great through their first two games of the NCAA Tournament, comfortably defeating Drake and Kansas. They defeated Oregon 72-58 when the two teams clashed back in February and I like the Trojans to get the better of the Ducks once again here in the Sweet 16. USC holds a big advantage on the glass, and its defense has been lights out lately. The favorite is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 8* play on USC Trojans. |

FSU VS MICHIGAN 10* TOP PLAY | SWEET 16 *BEST BET* The Florida State Seminoles have opened the NCAA Tournament with a pair of dominant victories. Defeating Colorado by 18 points last time out was particularly impressive, and I would not be surprised to see them beating Michigan outright here in the Sweet 16. I'm not sure if the Wolverines can compete with a team like FSU without one of their most dangerous scoring threats in senior forward Isaiah Liver (stress reaction), Seminoles are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games as an underdog. Seminoles are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. 10* play on FSU Seminoles. |

CREIGHTON VS GONZAGA 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Gonzaga is crushing everything in its path, but I don't think Creighton is getting enough respect in this Sweet 16 matchup with the Bulldogs. The Bluejays are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. They're very capable of shooting the ball, and if the shots are made they could give the Zags a real scare here. 8* play on Creighton. |
|||||||
03-28-21 | Suns -6 v. Hornets | 101-97 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
SUBSCRIBERS ONLY The Charlotte Hornets have played well on the defensive end lately, and they'll need to continue to do so with one of their most dangerous scoring threats in LaMelo Ball out due to injury. In their last game, the Hornets came through with a 110-105 win against Miami. In their two previous games, Charlotte had held San Antonio and Houston to 97 points each. Phoenix is one of the best defensive teams in the league. In their last game, the Suns defeated Toronto 104-100, the fourth time in five games they held their opponent to 101 points or fewer. Under is 4-1 in Suns last 5 overall. Under is 4-1 in Hornets last 5 overall. In addition to the under, I also like the Suns to cover the spread as the Hornets lack enough firepower without Ball to keep this close. Suns are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Suns are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Hornets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 8* play on Phoenix Suns. |

03-27-21 | Syracuse +6.5 v. Houston | Top | 46-62 | Loss | -105 | 44 h 36 m | Show |
CUSE VS HOUSTON | SWEET 16 BOOKIE BU$TER The No. 2 Houston Cougars are 19-9 ATS on the season, but they failed to cover the 7.5-point spread in a 63-60 win against Rutgers in the previous round of the NCAA Tournament and actually trailed the Scarlet Knights by nine with less than five minutes left on the clock. DeJon Jarreau played 32 minutes but a hip injury is clearly bothering him. Here the Cougars will face a No. 11 Syracuse team that has opened the tourney with back-to-back wins as underdogs, beating San Diego State and West Virginia. Cuse's 2-3 zone defense can be tough to solve, and I like the Orange to keep this one close. Orange are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. Orange are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 neutral site games as an underdog. 8* play on Syracuse Orange. |

OREGON STATE VS LOYOLA-CHICAGO SWEET 16 BOOKIE BLA$TER The Oregon State Beavers are having a Cinderella season, first winning the Pac-12 tournament title and now reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tourney. They have won six of their last seven outright and covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are coming off an upset win at No. 1 seed Illinois, which indeed is impressive, but can they handle being a favorite in this matchup? The Ramblers are the better team, but covering this number won't be easy against a Beavers team that ain't scared of nobody and really embraces the role as underdogs. 8* play on Oregon State. |

ROCKETS @ WOLVES 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER The Houston Rockets have won just one of their last 22 games, but I think they're undervalued here against Minnesota Timberwolves that have an abysmal 10-34 record on the season. The Wolves are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 games as a home favorite, and this game should be closer to a pick'em than either team being a favorite IMO. 8* play on Houston Rockets. |

NBA BOOKIE BU$TER Love to back the Atlanta Hawks in this spot as they look to get back on track after seeing a five-game winning streak come to an end at LA Clippers last time out. They'll face a Sacramento team that has won three of its last four, but we might see the Kings let the guard down here in the last game of a seven-game road trip. Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. Kings are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog. 8* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

LSU VS MICHIGAN 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The No. 8 LSU Tigers look like a live dog versus No. 1 Michigan on Monday. The Wolverines could sleepwalk through an 82-66 win over Texas Southern on Saturday, and I don't think they're ready for the intensity LSU will bring. The Tigers held St. Bonaventure to 61 points on 33% shooting from the field (3-for-20, 15% from 3-point range) in their tournament opener. They've covered the spread in five straight games, winning three of those outright as underdogs, and lost by just a point to Bama in the SEC tournament final. 8* play on LSU Tigers. |

CBB GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | CUSE VS WEST VIRGINIA The No. 11 Syracuse Orange are coming off a 78-62 win against San Diego State, but the victory also cost a lot of energy. The No. 3 West Virginia Mountaineers meanwhile cruised to an 85-67 win over 14th-seeded Morehead State in their tournament opener. While the Orange have upset quite a few teams lately, I think West Virginia's depth on offense will be able to do good damage on Cuse's 2-3 zone defense. 10* play on West Virginia. |

03-19-21 | Oregon State +9 v. Tennessee | 70-56 | Win | 100 | 17 h 13 m | Show | |
FRIDAY AFTERNOON 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The Oregon State Beavers claimed the Pac-12 tournament title after defeating UCLA, top-seeded Oregon and finally Colorado in the final. The Beavers are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Tennessee is the better team of those two, but it is an unpredictable side and was knocked out of the semi-final of the Southeastern Conference tournament where it lost to Alabama. The Vols were without injured John Fulkerson, and his availability for this contest is uncertain. While yet another upset from Oregon State is a big ask, I do like the Beavers to keep it within the number. 8* play on Oregon State. |

TOP-RATED 10* JAZZ @ CELTICS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Utah Jazz fell at Golden State on Sunday, and I think they're in for another tough matchup when the visit Boston Tuesday night. The Celtics have been dominant home at TD Garden lately. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. I would not be surprised if they steal this one outright. The Jazz are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Utah was playing well above its abilites for a while but harder times might be imminent. Back Boston. 10* play on Boston Celtics. |

TOP-RATED 10* LAKERS @ WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY The Los Angeles Lakers have struggled without injured Anthony Davis (calf) in the lineup and they'll also be without Marc Gasol for this one, but I think the bookmakers have overadjusted the line for Monday's matchup with Golden State. The Warriors will be playing on short rest and they're in a potential letdown spot after defeating the Jazz by 12 points as a 7.5-point underdog on Sunday. Note that Golden State had failed to cover the spread in four straight games prior to that outing, and it is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games as an underdog. Love backing the Lakers as a short road favorite in this one. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |

Additionally, they'll be shorthanded with Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw all set to miss the game due to the league's health and safety protocols. The Bulls have had a days rest since their last game. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games playing on 1 days rest. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. |

CAVS @ HAWKS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Cleveland Cavaliers have played one game since the All-Star break, a humiliating 116-82 loss at New Orleans. They had covered the spread in five straight games prior to that outing, and I think we'll see a reaction from the Cavs who should be pumped up for this one. They're catching Atlanta in a tough spot as the Hawks will be playing on no rest coming off a win over Sacramento on Saturday. Hawks are 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 0 days rest. Cavaliers are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings. 8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

TOP-RATED 10* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK | A10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are coming off an impressive 71-53 rout of Saint Louis. They held the Billikens to 19-of-52 (37%) shooting from the field and look good to get the job done here in the Atlantic 10 Championship game against the VCU Rams. While the Rams are solid on the defensive end, they do not have the three-point shooting to keep pace with the Bonnies and they also turn the ball over far too frequently to be trusted. Rams are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Bonnies are 36-16-2 ATS in their last 54 games as a favorite. Bonnies are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. 10* play on St. Bonaventure. |

CINCINNATI VS WICHITA STATE 8* AAC TOURNEY BOOKIE BLA$TER The Cincinnati Bearcats are only 7-14 ATS on the season. They're coming off an upset win against SMU, but they faced a rusty Mustangs team that had not played a game since Feb. 8 because of a COVID-19 shutdown. I think the Bearcats' AAC tournament adventure ends here in the semifinals versus Wichita State. The Shockers showed great heart and resilience as they came from behind to defeat South Florida in the quarterfinals. Wichita State defeated Cincinnati 82-76 on Jan. 10 in the team's lone regular-season meeting, and I expect another Shockers win here. 8* play on Wichita State. |

SUPER EARLY TENNESSEE VS ALABAMA 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Good spot to back the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who cruised by Mississippi State in a 85-48 rout on Friday. The Tennessee Volunteers had to spend far more energy in their 78-66 victory over Florida and senior forward John Fulkerson could miss this game after suffering two brutal elbows to his head. "He took pretty two good licks right there, and I would be surprised if he plays," Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. Alabama beat the Volunteers, 71-63 back on Jan. 2 and should get the job done again here in the SEC semifinal. 10* play on Alabama. |

OHIO STATE VS PURDUE BANKROLL BUILDER Really like the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes as a small favorite against the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers here in the quarterfinal of the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes are severely underrated after failing to cover the number in five straight games and losing four straight-up, but they did defeat Minnesota last time out. Purdue is overvalued after winning five straight SU and ATS. Buy low, sell high. 8* play on Ohio State. |

TEXAS TECH @ TEXAS 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER I think the wrong team is favored in this Big 12 Conference tournament matchup between the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders and the No. 16 Texas Longhorns. Texas Tech swept the Longhorns during the regular season, but the last meeting took place more than two weeks ago. Texas has won three straight SU and ATS since while Texas Tech closed out the regular season with a 15-point loss at Baylor. Longhorns are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Red Raiders are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Red Raiders are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. 10* play on Texas. |

SUPER EARLY OKLAHOMA STATE VS WEST VIRGINIA CBB BOOKIE BU$TER I like the West Virginia Mountaineers to win and cover the spread when taking on the Oklahoma State Cowboys early on Thursday. While Oklahoma State has been hot down the stretch and defeated WVU 85-80 as a 10-point underdog last Saturday, it should be a different story here in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 championship. We should see a more focused Mountaineers side now that it really matter. 8* play on West Virginia. |

EARLY MIAMI-FL @PITT ACC BOOKIE BU$TER Neither the Pittsburgh Panthers nor the Miami Hurricanes have played well down the stretch, but I think Pitt has an edge here in this first-round matchup of the ACC tournament. Pittsburgh won 70-55 when the teams clashed back in December. Sure, Pitt has lost guards Au'Diese Toney and Xavier Johnson (transfer) since, but ia also asked to cover a small number and Miami is shorthanded because of injuries. Hurricanes are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games. Panthers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games. 8* play on Pittsburgh Panthers. |

TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | WISCONSIN @ IOWA The Iowa Hawkeyes are hot, the Wisconsin Badgers not. While Iowa has won six of its past seven games (5-2 ATS), Wisconsin has four losses in its past five games and failing to cover the number in each loss. Last time out, the Hawkeyes put a 102-64 beating on Nebraska and I think they'll want to keep the momentum going for the Big Ten tournament with a big effort in this one. Badgers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 home games. 10* play on Iowa. |

03-06-21 | USC -2 v. UCLA | 64-63 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 39 m | Show | |
USC @ UCLA 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The USC Trojans held the UCLA Bruins to 17-of-57 (30%) shooting from the field in a 66-48 win on Feb 6, and last time out they held Stanford to 42 points on 15-of-59 (25%) shooting. The Bruins are heading into this contest off back-to-back losses SU and ATS and they have covered the number in only two of their last 12 games. The two teams are battling for the top spots in the PAC 12, so neither will lack motivation, but the Bruins are trending in the wrong direction while USC has some momentum. The Trojans have a psychological advantage after defeating the Bruins once already, and I'm putting my money on the visitors here in the regular-season finale. 8* play on USC Trojans. |

CBB GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT | ACC REG SEASON *BEST BET* I love this spot for the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. The Virginia Cavaliers are in a potential letdown spot as their victory over Miami on Monday night clinched a top-four seed and a double-bye in next week's ACC tournament. The Cardinals hope to the same with a win here. Note that the Cardinals are 5-3, and they'll run into a Louisville team that has won nine of 10 home games on the season. Cavaliers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cardinals are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. 10* play on Louisville. |

They are allowing 78.0 points per game (323rd) and this looks like a bad matchup against The Citadel who averages 80.3 ppg (25th). Western Carolina is particularly bad defending the three, and the Bulldogs are effective from behind the arc. 8* play on The Citadel. |

MONMOUTH @ RIDER 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER The Rider Broncs have won only one of seven home games straight-up, but they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. I also like Rider to build off an impressive 78-65 win as a 9-point dog at St. Peter's last time out. Monmouth-NJ will play its seventh consecutive road game, and the team has covered the spread in only one of its last five games. In their last game, the Hawks took an 88-65 beating at Iona and they are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Lastly, note that the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings. 8* play on Rider. |

IOWA @ OHIO STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY *BEST OF THE BEST* The #9 Iowa Hawkeyes took a 79-57 beating at Michigan last time out, and this does not look like a good bounce-back spot against an Ohio State team looking to redeem itself coming off a pair of losses. "We've got to be better," Ohio State guard CJ Walker said. "We've got to refocus and be better defensively. That's the biggest thing right now." The #4 Buckeyes won 89-85 at Iowa back on February 4 and they are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. Buckeyes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Hawkeyes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 10* play on Ohio State. |

MICHIGAN STATE @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER | 2:00 ET The Michigan State Spartans are only 7-15 ATS on the season and in a bit letdown spot here following three straight-up wins as underdogs. Only one of those wins was on the road, and the Spartans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. They'll face a Maryland team that is riding a four-game winning streak, including an upset win at Rutgers last time out. While the Spartans have played a tough and tight schedule lately, the Terps have had a week off since their win over Rutgers. I think the home team will overcome any eventual rust and get the job done. 8* play on Maryland. |

TOP-RATED 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH | EARLY 12:00 START I really like the Texas Tech Red Raiders here as they'll be looking to snap an ugly three-game losing streak. Last time out they suffered a tough OT loss at Oklahoma State while Texas is coming off an OT win over Kansas. Texas Tech won 79-77 at Texas back in January. Surely the Red Raiders can get the job done at home. 10* play on Texas Tech. |

TOP-RATED 10* TGIF CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | 9:00 PM TIP-OFF Both Northern Iowa (4-15-1 ATS) and Illinois State (8-12-1 ATS) have underperformed against the spread all season. I think this looks like a good spot to back the Panthers though as they look to bounce back from a 77-69 loss to Drake while Illinois is coming off a 88-71 win against Bradley. The Redbirds shot 57% from the field (40% from 3-point range), and I highly doubt they can shoot like that two games in a row. 10* play on Northern Iowa. |

The Celtics are losers of three straight and eight of their last 11 while the Pacers have only three wins in their last nine games. Boston's scoring offense ranks 21st in the league, but it is allowing only 110.3 ppg (7th). I expect a low-scoring contest between two struggling teams. Under is 37-16-1 in Pacers last 54 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Boston. In addition to the under, I also like the Celtics to show up as they should look forward to playat home again following an 0-3 road trip. Last time out home at TD Garden, they defeated Atlanta 121-109 and here they'll take on a struggling Indiana team. I also think the Celtics will be particularly fired up after getting called out by their team president Danny Ainge in a radio appearance on Thursday. "I do believe in my players. I like them all individually. I think they have good futures. I just think right now our team is in a major funk." ... "We don't have a good enough team -- in my opinion." Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite. 8* play on Boston Celtics. |

TEXAS TECH @ OKLAHOMA STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like an excellent spot to back the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders who should be ready to go off, coming off back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Kansas. At only 1-6 ATS over their last seven games, the Raiders are now severely underrated by the betting market and the No. 22 Oklahoma State Cowboys are in a potential letdown spot after defeating Iowa State by 18 points last time out. The Red Raiders will also be looking to avenge an 82-77 overtime loss to Oklahoma State in Lubbock on January 2. I expect to see a reaction from Texas Tech following its recent struggles. 10* play on Texas Tech. |

02-21-21 | Michigan v. Ohio State +2 | 92-87 | Loss | -112 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
MICHIGAN @ OHIO STATE BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER The #3 Michigan Wolverines are coming into this game with a 15-1 record. I think they're about to suffer their second defeat of the season here though, facing an Ohio State team that is playing its best basketball of the season. Michigan has played only two games this month after having games postponed due to COVID-19. The #4 Buckeyes just put up 92 points at PSU last time out, and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 8* play on Ohio State. |

02-20-21 | Illinois v. Minnesota +6 | Top | 94-63 | Loss | -116 | 11 h 0 m | Show |
ILLINOIS @ MINNESOTA 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Golden Gophers took an 82-72 loss and Indiana a couple of days ago. At home, Minnesota is 13-1 on the season though and the Gophers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. Illinois looks like good fade material after winning six straight games. The Fighting Illini might be running out of gas as they have failed to cover the number in their last two games, and I would not be surprised if the Gophers can pull an outríght upset here. 10* play on Minnesota. |

02-19-21 | Pistons +5 v. Grizzlies | 95-109 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 43 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - DETROIT The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a 122-113 win against OKC, but they have won only three of their last nine games and they are 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Detroit Pistons will be looking to rebound from a 105-102 loss at Chicago, and note that they had won three of four prior to that setback. 8* play on Detroit Pistons. |

02-19-21 | Bulls +9 v. 76ers | 105-112 | Win | 100 | 21 h 54 m | Show | |
NBA 3-PACK - BULLS Good spot to fade the Philadelphia 76ers who snapped a three-game losing streak with a 118-113 win against Houston a couple of days ago. Joel Embiid's back issues are back, so the Sixers might start giving him more rest and Ben Simmons is questionable (stomach illness). The Bulls have been compeittive in recent games, winning four of their last six straight up and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. 8* play on Chicago Bulls. |

02-18-21 | Heat v. Kings +1 | 118-110 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 32 m | Show | |
*BAILOUT PLAY* HEAT @ KINGS 8* BOOKIE BREAKER Love to fade the Miami Heat in this spot as they are coming off a tough OT loss at Golden State on Wednesday. The Sacramento Kings have dropped the first four games of this five-game homestand SU and ATS, but I expect them to show up here in the finale and take full advantage of an exhausted Miami team. Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Heat are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings. 8* play on Sacramento Kings. |

02-18-21 | Houston v. Wichita State +8 | 63-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 0 m | Show | |
HOUSTON @ WICHITA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER The Houston Cougars are 17-2 SU and 13-5 ATS on the season, but they might be rusty here as it's been a week since their last game, an 82-65 triumph at USF. They'll face a Wichita State team that sits second in the AAC, and I think the Shockers are getting a couple of points extra in this one after failing to cover the number in five straight games. Still, the Shockers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I'm taking the points on the home dog in this matchup. 8* play on Wichita State. |

02-18-21 | Iowa v. Wisconsin | 77-62 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 59 m | Show | |
IOWA @ WISCONSIN 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER The No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers are 15-7 on the season, but 11-3 home at Kohl Center. I like them to bounce back from a 67-59 home loss to third-ranked Michigan. Note that the Badgers are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss, and here they'll face a No. 11 Hawkeyes team that might be due for a bad game after winning two in a row. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 road games. 8* play on Wisconsin. |

MIZZOU @ GEORGIA | TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY Good spot to back the No. 20 Missouri Tigers as they look to bounce back from a couple of disappointing losses. Here they'll face a Georgia team that has struggled immensely on the defensive end all season, and in their most recent game, the Bulldogs gave up 115 points at Alabama. Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. 10* play on Mizzou. |

02-16-21 | Providence +5.5 v. Connecticut | 61-73 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
PROVIDENCE @ UCONN 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER I like the Providence Friars to keep it within the number here against a UConn Huskies team in a potential letdown spot following an upset win at Xavier. The Huskies have dropped four of their last six games straight-up and the Friars beat UConn 70-59 last Wednesday. The Friars have played excellent defense in recent games and limited Depaul to 47 points last time out. 8* play on Providence. |

02-15-21 | Rockets +1.5 v. Wizards | Top | 119-131 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 39 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* ROCKETS @ WIZARDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Great spot to fade the Washington Wizards who will be playing on no rest after defeating Boston 104-91 on Sunday. It was Washington's mere second home win in 11 attempts, and tonight they'll face an angry Houston team looking to snap a five-game slide. John Wall will return to the nation's capital for the first time since being traded earlier in the season. He's not happy with how things went down and clearly got an axe to grind with the Wizards. We should see a reaction from the Rockets after losing five on the bounce, and I expect to see a big showing from the visitors in this one. 10* play Houston Rockets. |

02-15-21 | Virginia v. Florida State -1 | 60-81 | Win | 100 | 22 h 47 m | Show | |
VIRGINIA VS FLORIDA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Good spot to fade the No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers after winning 11 of their past 12 and reeling off four straight triumphs, winning the last two big. While they've been playing well, one must wonder if they're about to run out of steam soon. That is not the case for the No. 17 FSU Seminoles who have played only one game this month, an OT win against Wake Forest on Jan 13. They were a bit rusty in that game but should be back up to speed tonight. FSU has not lost at the Donald L. Tucker Center since Jan. 12, and I really like the home team in this one. 8* play on Florida State. |

02-14-21 | Lakers -2.5 v. Nuggets | Top | 105-122 | Loss | -112 | 15 h 35 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* LAKERS @ NUGGETS BOOKIE BREAKER The Los Angeles Lakers have won seven straight as they've been able to grind out wins despite playing all that well. They are 3-7 ATS over their last 10 as they're often asked to cover big numbers, but I expect them to get the win and cover at Denver on Sunday. The Nuggets have dropped three of their last five while going 1-4 ATS. The two games they won, were both as near double-digit favorites. The Nuggets are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. 10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. |

02-14-21 | Minnesota v. Maryland -2.5 | 59-72 | Win | 100 | 12 h 28 m | Show | |
MINNESOTA @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Good spot to fade the Gophers who are coming off back-to-back home wins over Nebraska and No. 24 Purdue. They are however 0-6 SU on the road this season and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. We should see a reaction from the Terps after dropping two straight and failing to cover the spread in each of their last four. Maryland defeated Minnesota 63-49 on the road back on January 23. I expect another comfortable win for Maryland in this one. 8* play on Maryland. |

02-14-21 | Pelicans -4.5 v. Pistons | 112-123 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
PELICANS @ PISTONS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER The Detroit Pistons have been covering the spread more often than not in recent games, but they're also often spotted more points than this. I expect a reaction from the New Orleans Pelicans who are coming off back-to-back double-digit losses on the road. They had covered the number in four straight games prior to that and the Pelicans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite and 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Detroit. 8* play on New Orleans Pelicans. |

ARKANSAS @ MISSOURI 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER Fade the Arkansas Razorbacks off an 81-80 win at Kentucky. The Missouri Tigers took an 80-59 loss at Ole Miss last time out, and I expect a big reaction. The Tigers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and the Razorbacks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 8* play on Missouri. |

AUBURN @ KENTUCKY 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER Fade the Kentucky Wildcats who have lost four straight SU and ATS. Auburn snapped a three-game losing streak with a 73-67 win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday and it is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Wildcats are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Auburn won the first meeting against Kentucky 66-59 at home on Jan. 16. 8* play on Auburn. |

OKLAHOMA @ WEST VIRGINIA 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER Revenge game for West Virginia who too a 75-71 loss to then-unranked Oklahoma back on Jan 2. The Mountaineers were going through a rough patch at the time (roster issues), but they have turned things around and enter Saturday on a three-game winning streak. In their last game, West Virginia won 82-71 at TTU, impressive. Back the Mountaineers to get their revenge. 8* play on West Virginia. |

PISTONS @ CELTICS 8* NBA BANKROLL BUILDER Terrific buy low, sell high spot, backing the Detroit Pistons off a loss to Indiana while Boston is coming off a 14-point win against Toronto. Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Pistons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Celtics are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 8* play on Detroit Pistons. |

02-12-21 | Clippers -6.5 v. Bulls | Top | 125-106 | Win | 100 | 17 h 24 m | Show |
TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY Absolutely love to fade the Chicago Bulls here as they are coming off a 129-116 win over New Orleans. Bulls are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring more than 125 points, 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points in their previous game and 18-37 ATS in their last 55 games following a straight up win. They'll face a Los Angeles Clippers team that just snapped a two-game slide with a 119-112 win at Minnesota. The Clippers failed to cover the spread for a third straight game, but they are still 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 road games. 10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. |
|||||||
02-12-21 | Spurs +2 v. Hawks | 125-114 | Win | 100 | 17 h 53 m | Show | |
3-PACK OF NBA WINNERS Great spot to back the San Antonio Spurs to bounce back from a 114-91 thrashing they suffered at Golden State on February 9. With two full days to rest and recover, I'm sure they'll bring a lot of energy into tonight's game. The Spurs had won three straight games SU and were 2-0 ATS before the setback. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog. The Atlanta Hawks have dropped four of their last five games SU (2-3 ATS). They battled Dallas hard in a one-point loss on February 10 last time out, but I think they'll come up short against a well-rested Spurs team. In addition to the Spurs to cover the spread, I also like this game to be a relatively low-scoring affair. Under is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 overall. Under is 5-2 in Spurs last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 7-3 in Spurs last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home. Under is 14-6 in Hawks last 20 overall. 8* play on San Antonio Spurs. |

SIXERS @ BLAZERS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The Philadelphia 76ers have only one loss in their last seven games, a 121-105 home loss to Portland on February 4. They have since taken care of Brooklyn and Sacramento. I like the Sixers to avenge the setback with a big outing tonight. The Blazers are only 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. |

LATE NIGHT UNLV VS BOISE STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER | 10:00 PM ET The Boise State Broncos are not playing well at the moment losing three of their last four SU and straight up. Here they'll face a UNLV team with momentum following a pair of big wins against Air Force. While the Rebels are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall, note that they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Boise State might very well win the game, but it won't be by double-digits. 8* play on UNLV. |

*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA CENTRAL GAME OF THE YEAR The Indiana Pacers have lost four in a row and failed to cover the number in six of their last seven games. They will be playing on no rest following a 10-point loss at Brooklyn last night. However, note that the Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite. They'll face a Detroit team in a letdown spot after covering the spread in back-to-back games, first taking the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers to double overtime on Saturday and then recording a 122-111 upset win over Brooklyn on Tuesday. Pistons are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. 10* play on Indiana Pacers. |

CAVS @ NUGGETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER The Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to cover the spread in seven straight games, but I like their chances of keeping it close here against a Denver team that is not playing well either at the moment. The Nuggets have dropped three straight and four of their last five, covering the number in only one of those games. The Cavs have two big men in Jarrett Allen and Andre Drummond who can take turns in slowing down Denver star Nikola Jokic. Cavaliers are 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Denver. 8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. |

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 127-122 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday to make it three wins in four games. The Mavs still failed to cover the spread in the win, and they are 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games. Here they'll face a well-rested Atlanta team that has had plenty of time to prepare since snapping a three-game losing streak with a 132-121 win over the Toronto Raptors on February 6. Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Mavericks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games. The Mavericks defeated Atlanta 122-116 on Feb. 3, but the Hawks are still a solid 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings. 10* play on Atlanta Hawks. |

02-10-21 | Connecticut -2 v. Providence | 59-70 | Loss | -112 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
EARLY UCONN @ PROVIDENCE 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER Good spot to back the UConn Huskies to bounce back from a disappointing 80-73 loss to Seton Hall on Feb 6. They have had plenty of time to rest, prepare and process the defeat and they are still a solid 8-4 SU (9-3 ATS) on the season despite dropping three of their last four games. Leading scorer, James Bouknight, might be back in the lineup for the first time since injuring his left elbow Jan. 5. Providence is coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, and I think its slide will continue. 8* play on UConn Huskies. |

KNICKS @ HEAT 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The New York Knicks lost the first meeting of this home-and-home series 109-103 home at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. I like them to keep it closer here in the second game. Sure, the Heat have been playing a lot better since getting Jimmy Butler back in the lineup, but they are still 8-14-1 ATS on the season and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. The Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and had defeated Chicago and Portland as underdogs prior to Sunday's setback. 8* play on New York Knicks. |
