6* Vanderbilt/Ole Miss SEC *CA$H COW* on Vanderbilt +8.5

The Key: Vanderbilt has quietly gone 7-0-4 ATS in its last 11 games overall.  They just got their best player in Scottie Pippen Jr. and his 21.3 PPG back from an injury too, and he promptly scored 36 points in a 78-64 upset win at Cincinnati as 6.5-point underdogs.  Now Pippen Jr. and the Commodores are catching 8.5 points from an Ole Miss team that they just beat 75-70 as 10.5-point home dogs on February 27th without Pippen Jr.  I love the price we are getting on the Commodores today in this rematch.  The Commodores are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.  The underdog is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 matchups.  The road team is 11-4 ATS in the last 15 matchups.  Take Vanderbilt.

7* Illinois/Ohio State Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Ohio State -2

The Key: Ohio State is looking to erase the sour taste of 3 consecutive defeats.  The Buckeyes got some much needed rest as they have had the last 5 days off to rest up and get healthy.  They are primed for a great showing against Illinois today.  The Fighting Illini are unlikely to have Ayo Dosunmu back today and are in a letdown spot off 3 straight wins, including the blowout victory over Michigan.  The Buckeyes will be hungry because of those 3 straight losses, plus trying to get a Top 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and the fact that it is Senior Day.  The Buckeyes have won 4 of the last 5 matchups in this series, including their 87-81 win at Illinois in their first matchup this year.  The Fighting Illini are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games when attempting to avenge a loss as a favorite.  Take Ohio State.

6* Indiana/Purdue Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Purdue -6.5

The Key: We have 2 teams headed in opposite directions here in Purdue and Indiana.  The Boilermakers are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games, while the Hoosiers are 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games.  Indiana now knows it must likely win the Big Ten Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.  Purdue knows it can get a Top 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and a double-bye with a win here.  It is also Senior Day for the Boilermakers.  And they will have no problem kicking the Hoosiers while they are already down.  The Boilermakers are 8-0 SU in their last 8 matchups with the Hoosiers with 6 of those wins coming by 7 points or more.  They won 81-69 at Indiana earlier this year.  The Hoosiers are likely to be without Armaan Franklin and his 11.6 PPG and great 3-point shooting as he is listed as doubtful.  They could be without Race Thompson and his 9.6 PPG as well as he is questionable for this one.  Take Purdue.

7* Georgia Tech/Wake Forest ACC *HEAVY HITTER* on Georgia Tech -9

The Key: The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall.  They have won 5 straight games including impressive wins over Duke and Virginia Tech.  They are fighting hard to make the NCAA Tournament down the stretch and cannot afford a slip up against Wake Forest.  That shouldn't be a problem considering the Demon Deacons have already quit on their season.  They have lost 6 straight games and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  Each of their last 5 losses have come by 13 points or more and by 22.8 PPG on average.  The Yellow Jackets already beat them by 16 at home in their first matchup this year.  Take Georgia Tech.

6* Thursday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Warriors/Suns UNDER 225

The Key: Both the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors rank in the Top 6 of the league in defensive efficiency.  Both teams were good OVER bets in the past, but that is the case no longer as both are built for defense now.  And the Suns play at the 2nd-slowest pace in the entire NBA this season.  It's no wonder the UNDER is 7-0 in the last 7 matchups in this series with 218 or fewer combined points in each of the last 4 matchups.  Take the UNDER.

6* Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Nebraska +17.5

The Key: The Nebraska Cornhuskers haven't been beaten by more than 18 points in any of their last 14 games overall.  They have improved rapidly under Fred Hoiberg, coupled with the fact that a lot of teams take them lightly.  I think that will be the issue for the Hawkeyes here.  They just faced 2 of the top teams in the Big Ten in Michigan and Ohio State in their previous 2 games, so there will be a natural letdown factor here against Nebraska.  The Huskers will stay within this number because of it.  Take Nebraska.

6* Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Arizona State +10.5

The Key: The Arizona State Sun Devils are finally starting to play up to the potential that had them ranked as a Top 25 team coming into the season.  They have won 3 straight games by a combined 44 points and are now catching double-digits from Colorado.  The Sun Devils also get some key pieces back from injury tonight to only fortify their roster a little more here down the stretch.  They will be a scary team in the Pac-12 tournament, and will give Colorado a test tonight.  The Buffaloes are coming off 3 straight wins including back to back wins over USC and UCLA, which has them primed for a letdown here.  The Buffaloes are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games off 3 or more consecutive wins.  Take Arizona State.

7* Heat/Pelicans TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on OVER 227

The Key: The Pelicans have been the best OVER team in the NBA this season.  They have gone OVER the total in 26 of their last 30 games overall, including 13 of their last 14 games coming into tonight.  They are 16-2 OVER in their 18 home games as well.  Take the OVER.

6* Big 12 *CA$H COW* on TCU +13

The Key: The West Virginia Mountaineers had won 3 straight and had Baylor on the ropes Tuesday.  They eventually blew a late lead and lost 89-94 (OT).  Now I think there will be a hangover effect here for the Mountaineers and they won't bring the kind of effort it's going to take for them to cover this 13-point spread against TCU.  The Horned Frogs already took the Mountaineers to the wire at home in a 66-74 loss in their first matchup this year as 7.5-point dogs.  So this 13-point spread now is a 5.5-point adjustment off the first matchup.  It's too much given the awful situation the Mountaineers are in off that heartbreaking loss to Baylor.  It's the type of loss that can beat a team twice.  The Mountaineers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games after playing 2 consecutive home games.  Take TCU.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Charlotte Hornets -1

The Key: The Timberwolves are 5-26 SU in their last 31 games.  They are 0-8 SU & 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games overall with 3 of their last 4 losses coming by 16 points or more.  They just aren't playing well at all, fired their coach, and are missing 2 of their best players in Beasley and Russell.  The Hornets are coming off a loss in Portland on the 2nd of a back-to-back.  The Hornets are 5-0 SU & 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games off a loss.  Charlotte is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 games off a loss by more than 10 points.  Minnesota is 0-8 ATS in its last 8 games as a dog.  They just have to win to cover tonight so the price is right to back the Hornets.  Take Charlotte.

6* Wednesday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Bulls/Pelicans OVER 236.5

The Key: The Pelicans have been the best OVER team in the NBA this season.  They have gone OVER the total in 25 of their last 29 games overall, including 12 of their last 13 games coming into tonight.  They are 15-2 OVER in their 17 home games as well.  And the OVER has been a good bet in this series between the Bulls and Pelicans going 4-0 in the last 4 matchups.  That includes the 129-116 victory by the Bulls in February that had 245 combined points.  Take the OVER.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Notre Dame -2.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on Notre Dame tonight due to being off 3 straight road losses while NC State is off 4 straight wins.  Now the Fighting Irish are back home tonight where they have gone 3-1 SU & 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games with all 3 wins coming by double-digits.  NC State is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 games against a team with a losing record.  The Fighting Irish are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games as home favorites.  The favorite is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 matchups.  Take Notre Dame.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Milwaukee Bucks -7

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks have won 5 straight games with 3 of those coming by 13 points or more.  They just got PG Jrue Holiday back and will be a force moving forward.  They should put their best foot forward tonight considering they are fresh playing just their 2nd game in 5 days.  The Nuggets will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after winning in Chicago last night in a game that saw all 5 of their starters play at least 33 minutes.  They don't have a bench right now because of all their injuries/COVID issues.  I look for the tired Nuggets, who will also be playing their 9th game in 15 days, to get their doors blown off tonight.  Take Milwaukee.

6* Vanderbilt/LSU SEC *CA$H COW* on Vanderbilt +12

The Key: The Vanderbilt Commodores continue to battle as they are 6-0-3 ATS in their last 9 games overall.  They haven't lost any of those 9 games by more than 12 points, which is impressive when you consider they have played the likes of Tennessee, Alabama and Florida during this stretch.  Now they are catching 12 points from an LSU team that is coming off 2 straight losses by 13 to Georgia and by 8 to Arkansas.  LSU has only won one of its last eight matchups with Vanderbilt by more than 10 points.  The Tigers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record.  LSU is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 home games.  The Commodores are 6-0 ATS as underdogs of 10 or more points this season.  The Commodores are 6-0 ATS in conference road games this season.  Take Vanderbilt.

6* Duke/Georgia Tech ACC *CA$H COW* on Georgia Tech -1.5

The Key: Georgia Tech is 7-1 SU in ACC home games this season and 13-1 SU in its last 14 ACC home games dating back to last year.  So I like the price we are getting on the Yellow Jackets, who nearly pulled the upset at Duke earlier this year in their first matchup.  The Yellow Jackets have won 4 straight games by a combined 56 points and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games.  Duke is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record.  Take Georgia Tech.

7* NBA Eastern Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Miami Heat -3.5

The Key: The Miami Heat are 6-0 SU & 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall.  They just beat Atlanta by 10 at home on Sunday even without Jimmy Butler, who is questionable to return.  The Hawks are in turmoil right now and I want to keep fading them.  They just fired head coach Lloyd Pierce and remain a banged up team without Cam Reddish and De'Andre Hunter tonight.  The Hawks are 4-11 SU & 5-10 ATS in their last 15 games overall.  The Hawks are 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games with 3 losses by 9 points or more and an upset loss to the Cavaliers as 8-point favorites.  The Hawks are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 road games when playing 6 or more games in 10 days.  The Heat are 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups with the 4 wins all coming by 9 points or more.  Take Miami.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Chicago Bulls +4.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting with the Chicago Bulls as home underdogs to the Denver Nuggets tonight.  The Bulls are 3-1 SU & 3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall.  Their only loss came 97-106 to the Suns after getting outscored 32-16 in the 4th quarter.  They had control of that game for 3 quarters against a Suns team that is playing as well as anyone right now in going 14-3 SU & 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games overall.  This is actually a step down for the Bulls against a Nuggets team that is banged up and not playing well at all right now.  The Nuggets are 6-7 SU & 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games overall.  They are without Millsap, Harris and Green right now.  The Nuggets are 4-16 ATS in their last 20 road games off a win by 15 points or more.  Denver is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 road games.  The Bulls are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games as underdogs.  Take Chicago.

6* Jazz/Pelicans NBA TV *CA$H COW* on OVER 235.5

The Key: The New Orleans Pelicans have been the best OVER bet in the NBA this season.  They have gone OVER the total in 24 of their last 28 games overall, including 11 of their last 12 games.  They have gone OVER the total in 14 of their 16 home games.  Now they face off against a Jazz team that they just combined for 247 points with in their most recent matchup.  The OVER is 20-7 in the last 27 matchups, including 12-2 in the last 14 matchups in New Orleans.  Take the OVER.

6* Dayton/St. Bonaventure Atlantic 10 *CA$H COW* on St. Bonaventure -7

The Key: St. Bonaventure is 8-0 at home this season and winning by 19.0 PPG.  Now it's Senior Night here and they should win in blowout fashion over a Dayton team that is 1-3 SU in its last 4 games overall and coming off a 13-point loss at St. Joe's as a 7.5-point favorite.  St. Bonaventure has won all 8 of its home games this season by 8 points or more including an 11-point win over Davidson, a 17-point win over George Mason, a 16-point win over VCU and a 14-point win over Duquesne.  They make it 9 in a row here by 8 points or more to send their seniors out the right way and potentially grab a spot in the NCAA Tournament in the process.  Take St. Bonaventure.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Phoenix Suns -10

The Key: This is an awful situation for the Minnesota Timberwolves.  They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a 112-128 loss in Washington on Saturday.  The Timberwolves will also be playing their 17th game in 28 days.  They are without Beasley and Russell, who combine for 40 PPG so they are short-handed as it is.  And now they must take on a Phoenix Suns team that is crushing everyone right now in going 13-3 SU & 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games.  The Timberwolves have gone 1-11 SU in their last 12 games, including 0-7 SU & 0-7 ATS in their last 7 contests.  Take Phoenix.

6* Nevada/Utah State Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Nevada +8

The Key: Nevada showed a little rust early from its COVID break in its loss to Utah State on Friday.  But the Wolf Pack made a big comeback in the 2nd half and only lost 72-75 as 9-point dogs.  Now the Wolf Pack are 8-point dogs and will be looking to avenge that defeat.  At the very least they should stay within this number.  The Wolf Pack have been one of the most underrated teams in the country this season.  Nevada is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 games overall, including 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games.  The Wolf Pack are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as underdogs.  Nevada is 21-8 ATS in its last 29 games against a team with a winning record.  Utah State is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games against teams that win more than 60% of their games.  The Wolf Pack are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games after playing their last game on the road.  The Wolf Pack are 10-1 ATS against good teams that outscore their opponents by 4 PPG or more this season.  Take Nevada.

6* Iowa/Ohio State Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Ohio State -3.5

The Key: The Ohio State Buckeyes are 10-2 at home this season and will bounce back from 2 straight losses to Michigan and Michigan State tonight.  They take on an Iowa team that they already beat on the road in their first matchup this year.  And it's a Hawkeyes team that has been exposed of late in going just 5-5 SU & 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games.  Now the Hawkeyes just lost their best bench player in Jack Nunge to a season-ending injury in their 57-79 loss at Michigan on Thursday.  The Buckeyes have won and covered each of their last 3 home matchups with Iowa, winning those games by a combined 42 points.  The Buckeyes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games off a loss.  The Buckeyes are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as home favorites, including 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games as home favorite of 6 points or fewer.  Take Ohio State.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on New Orleans Pelicans -3.5

The Key: The San Antonio Spurs are dealing with all kinds of COVID problems right now.  They had 10 days off and returned to action with just about half their players in a 99-102 loss to the Thunder.  They have several guys questionable again tonight, and whether they play or not there will be a rust factor.  Now they have to take on a Pelicans team that is playing very well in going 2-1 SU & 2-1 ATS in its last 3 games overall with a 5-point home win over Boston, a 10-point home win over Detroit and only a 4-point road loss to Milwaukee as 8-point dogs.  The Pelicans are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as road favorites.  The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.  Take New Orleans.

7* Mountain West Game of the Month on Boise State +6.5

The Key: The Boise State Broncos will be hungry to avenge their overtime defeat to the San Diego State Aztecs in their first matchup on February 27.  I can't believe the books have come back with the same line here as they were 6.5-point dogs in that first matchup as well.  Boise State isn't going to shoot as poorly as they did in that first matchup as they shot just 36.4% and still forced OT.  The Broncos are 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games off a loss.  Take Boise State.

6* FSU/UNC ACC *CA$H COW* on North Carolina +2.5

The Key: The Florida State Seminoles are just 3-2 SU in true road games this year.  They have feasted on a home-heavy schedule.  They should not be road favorites over the North Carolina Tar Heels.  The Tar Heels are 8-1 at home this year.  The one loss? An upset loss to Marquette last time out as they stepped out of conference and didn't really care about that game.  Now they will be refocused today and get back to playing how they were prior to that home defeat.  They were last seen crushing Louisville 99-54 at home.  Take North Carolina.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Kansas State +14.5

The Key: West Virginia has its biggest game of the season on deck against Baylor March 2nd.  The Mountaineers will be overlooking the Kansas State Wildcats today because of it and won't cover this 14.5-point spread.  That's especially the case after already beating Kansas State by 22 in their first matchup this year.  They will think they just have to show up to win.  But the Wildcats have been one of the most improved teams in the country in the 2nd half of the season.  They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall including outright upsets over TCU as 7-point road dogs and Oklahoma as 10-point home dogs in their last 2 games.  They also only lost to Texas by 3 as 14-point dogs, Oklahoma State by 7 as 13.5-point dogs and Texas Tech by 11 as 15.5-point dogs.  Their only loss by more than this spread was an 18-point loss to Kansas.  The Wildcats are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs.  The Mountaineers are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games against a team with a losing record.  The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take Kansas State.

6* Miami/Clemson ACC *CA$H COW* on Miami +13

The Key: The Miami Hurricanes will be looking to avenge their 65-66 home loss to Clemson as 4.5-point underdogs in their first matchup this season.  Now the Hurricanes are 13-point dogs in with an 8.5-point adjustment in the line.  This is too much, especially for a rusty Clemson team that just came back from a 2-week COVID pause.  Clemson is 0-6 ATS when the total is 129.5 or less this season.  The Tigers are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 games after winning 5 or 6 of their last 7 games.  The Hurricanes are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against a team with a winning record.  The underdog is 16-7-1 ATS in the last 24 matchups.  Take Miami.

6* NCAAB Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Southern Illinois +20

The Key: Loyola-Chicago is just 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall.  It failed to cover the 3 games it was an 18-point favorite or higher against Evansville (twice) and Valparaiso.  The Ramblers didn't win any of those games by more than 13 points, and I have a hard time seeing them beating Southern Illinois by 20-plus tonight.  The Salukis have only lost by more than 18 points twice all season.  The Ramblers play at such a slow tempo that it makes it tough for them to cover these big numbers.  The Salukis are 15-4 ATS in their last 19 road games off a home win by 3 points or fewer.  Take Southern Illinois.

6* Jazz/Heat Non-Conference *CA$H COW* on Miami +6.5

The Key: The Miami Heat just got back home following a tough 7-game road trip that saw them win and cover each of their final 3 games on the trip.  Then they beat Toronto by 8 at home and have now won their last 3 home games by a combined 37 points.  Now they also want to avenge one of their losses on that road trip coming 94-112 at Utah.  The Heat have gotten a lot healthier since that defeat and will be hungry to show the Jazz they are a much better team since.  The home team is 6-0 SU in the last 6 matchups in this series, and we're catching 6.5 points with the home team tonight.  Take Miami.

7* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Houston Rockets +8.5

The Key: I love the price we are getting on the Houston Rockets tonight due to going 0-9 SU & 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games overall.  They weren't more than an 8-point dog in any of those 9 games and they were more than a 2-point dog just twice.  They covered in their largest underdog role during this losing streak, losing by 5 at Philadelphia as 8-point dogs.  Now they are +8.5 dogs to the Toronto Raptors tonight.  This is a tired Raptors team playing their 6th game in 9 days.  The Rockets just got Victor Oladipo back from a 4-game absence and are as healthy as they've been at any point during this skid.  They should show some improvements tonight and stay within this number.  They are the way fresher team as this will be just their 3rd game in 9 days.  Bets on road teams who are off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite, a bad team winning 25% to 40% of their games playing a team with a losing record are 26-5 ATS over the last 5 years.  Take Houston.

6* Pelicans/Bucks TNT *BAILOUT* on New Orleans +9

The Key: The Pelicans are a young, deep team that can handle these back-to-back situations better than most.  And they had 2 days off prior to their 128-118 win over Detroit last night, so they should still be pretty fresh.  Milwaukee is not going to win this game by double-digits and cover the number.  The Bucks are getting a lot of respect from 3 straight blowout wins over 3 of the worst teams in the NBA in the Thunder, Kings and Timberwolves.  But the Bucks had gone 0-5 SU & 0-5 ATS in their 5 games prior including 3 losses by double-digits themselves.  The Pelicans won outright 131-126 as 6.5-point home dogs in their first matchup with the Bucks this season on January 29th.  Milwaukee is 8-25 ATS in its last 33 games off 3 or more consecutive home wins.  The Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 trips to Milwaukee.  Take New Orleans.

7* NBA Non-Conference *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington Wizards +7.5

The Key: The Washington Wizards are 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games.  Their only loss came on the road to the Clippers the night after upsetting the Lakers in overtime.  They have also upset the Nuggets, Celtics and Blazers during this stretch.  Now they face the Nuggets again and it's a Denver team not playing well at all right now.  The Nuggets are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.  They have a handful of injuries that they are dealing with, which is the biggest reason they aren't playing up to par.  And they can't be laying this many points to the Wizards in their current state.  The Wizards are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take Washington.

6* Boise/SDSU Mountain West *CA$H COW* on Boise State +6.5

The Key: San Diego State is getting too much respect from the books now after going 8-0 SU & 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall.  Those 8 games came against the bottom of the Mountain West Conference with 2 victories each over Air Force, Wyoming, San Jose State and Fresno State.  Now the Aztecs are laying 6.5 points to a Boise State team that owns the best record in the conference.  The Bulldogs are 17-4 this season and just swept Utah State.  San Diego State was swept by Utah State in its 2 games prior to this 8-game winning streak.  The Broncos are 8-1 ATS against good shooting teams that make 45% or better this year.  Boise State is 6-0 ATS against good rebounding teams with a +4 RPG margin or better this year.  The Broncos are a tall, lanky athletic team that will give the Aztecs troubles in both areas.  Take Boise State.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Western Kentucky +11.5

The Key: Western Kentucky is one of the best mid major teams in the country.  They are 15-4 this season with a win over Alabama and a narrow loss to West Virginia.  They have what it takes to hang with Houston and thrive in the underdog role.  The Hilltoppers are 25-8 ATS in their last 33 games as underdogs.  Houston could easily take them lightly as they step out of conference here in this rare non-conference game this late in the season.  After all, the Cougars did just lose outright as 16.5-point favorites to East Carolina and outright to Wichita State as 7.5-point favorites.  Take Western Kentucky.

6* Washington/Arizona State Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington +9.5

The Key: Washington fell flat in its 64-97 road loss at Arizona State on Tuesday.  Now the Huskies get a chance to avenge that defeat and have been pretty good in this situation recently.  They bounced back from an earlier loss to Cal with a 62-51 win the game prior to Arizona State.  They bounced back from a 15-point loss to Washington State with an upset road win over the Cougars.  They lost by 23 to Colorado and won the rematch outright as home underdogs.  That was a rare cover for the Sun Devils, who are 6-19-1 ATS in their last 20 games overall.  Arizona State is 3-12 ATS in its last 15 home games.  The Sun Devils are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games against a team with a losing road record.  The road team is 22-10 ATS in the last 32 matchups.  The Sun Devils are missing several key players due to injury.  Take Washington.

6* Xavier/Providence Big East *CA$H COW* on Providence +2

The Key: Providence lost at the buzzer 73-74 on the road to Xavier in their first matchup this season.  They will be looking to avenge that defeat and I expect them to win outright as home underdogs tonight.  The Friars are 6-3 SU at home this year while Xavier is just 2-2 in true road games.  The Musketeers are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as road favorites.  The Friars are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games against a team with a .500 or better road record.  The Friars are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games when avenging a same-season loss.  Take Providence.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Chicago Bulls -4

The Key: The Timberwolves will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night after losing in Milwaukee last night.  They will be playing their 6th game in 9 days and their 15th game in 25 days as well.  They have lost 9 of their last 10 games overall with each of their last 8 losses all coming by 4 or more points.  They are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games overall.  The Bulls are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games with their lone loss coming on the road to Philadelphia by 7, which isn't a bad loss at all.  They are playing well and should take advantage of this tired Timberwolves team.  Take Chicago.

6* Tulane/Memphis AAC *CA$H COW* on Tulane +10.5

The Key: Tulane is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall and hasn't lost any of those games by more than 7 points.  Now the Green Wave are catching double-digits against a Memphis team that will be rusty after having the last 16 days off due to COVID.  They have only recently been able to start practicing again.  Memphis only won 80-74 in its first matchup with Tulane this year.  The Green Wave are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games when lined as a +6.5 to +12 dog.  The Green Wave are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games after scoring at least 80 points in their previous game.  Take Tulane.

7* Warriors/Pacers ESPN *Total* Annihilator on UNDER 231

The Key: The Warriors just got their 2 big men in Wiseman and Looney back in the lineup last night after being out for a couple weeks.  They will have to go to bigger lineups and that will make them better defensively moving forward.  They beat the Knicks 114-106 last night behind a strong defensive effort.  And now they will be tired playing for a 2nd consecutive night and their offense will struggle because of it.  The Pacers will likely be rusty after having the last 6 days off.  It all adds up to a great situation to back the UNDER.  The UNDER is 4-1 in Warriors last 5 road games.  Bets on the UNDER on home games where the total is 230 or higher in non-conference games who are coming off a road win are 36-9 since 1996.  Take the UNDER.

6* Tuesday Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Washington +9.5

The Key: Arizona State led the entire way against UCLA until the final seconds and lost 79-80 over the weekend.  I don't think they'll be able to get back up off the mat following that defeat.  At least not enough to put away Washington by double-digits, which is what it is going to take to cover this lofty number.  This is a bad Arizona State team, plain and simple, and it has been reflected by the fact that they've gone just 4-14 ATS on the season.  The Sun Devils haven't won a single Pac-12 game by more than 4 points, and they have just one win all season by more than 8 points, and that came in a 23-point win over Houston Baptist as a 37-point favorite.  Washington keeps fighting down the stretch going 7-4 ATS in their last 11 games overall including an upset win over California 62-51 in their last contest.  The Sun Devils are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games against a team with a losing road record.  Arizona State is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games as a home favorite.  The road team is 22-10 ATS in the last 32 matchups.  Take Washington.

6* Tuesday Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +23.5

The Key: The Baylor Bears have had the last 3 weeks off and just won't be hitting on all cylinders in their first game back.  I really like the price on the Cyclones catching 23.5 points given the awful situation for the Bears.  Iowa State only lost by 11 to Baylor in their first matchup this year as 15.5-point dogs.  So there's no reason they should be 23.5-point dogs with the books adjusting 8 points for home-court advantage.  This line should be much closer to the line from the first matchup this season.  Take Iowa State.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month on Philadelphia 76ers -1.5

The Key: I like the situation for the Philadelphia 76ers tonight in the 2nd game of this double-header at Toronto.  They lost the first 103-110 and now will be looking to avenge that defeat.  They shot just 38.8% compared to 49.4% for the Raptors.  They got Ben Simmons and Shake Milton back in the lineup for that game from injury and they combined for 37 points in the loss.  They finally had their full team together Sunday for the first time since December 26.  So there should be even better chemistry tonight in this rematch with the Raptors.  I could see the Raptors relaxing after finally getting above .500 at 16-15 for the first time all season.  Toronto is 5-13 ATS in its last 18 home games.  Take Philadelphia.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +6.5

The Key: I love the price we are getting on the Sacramento Kings tonight.  We are getting this price because they have lost 7 straight both SU and ATS.  The Nets have won 6 straight both SU and ATS.  And now the Kings will be looking to avenge their 11-point home loss to the Nets just 8 days ago.  The Nets return home from a 5-game road trip that saw them finish it by upsetting the Suns, Lakers and Clippers.  They are primed for a letdown now tonight.  The Kings have gone 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as road underdogs and they are certainly a live dog tonight given the situation.  Take Sacramento.

6* Tuesday SEC *CA$H COW* on Georgia +5

The Key: The Georgia Bulldogs will be looking to avenge their 92-94 (OT) loss at LSU in their first matchup this season.  Now the Bulldogs are 5-point home dogs in a game they can win outright.  The Bulldogs are 4-1 SU in their last 5 home games including upset wins over Kentucky, Ole Miss and Missouri.  They are 11-3 SU at home this year.  The home team is 7-2 SU in the last 9 matchups.  LSU is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games off 2 consecutive home games.  The Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games off a win by more than 20 points.  The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games.  Georgia is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games as an underdog.  The underdog is 9-2-1 ATS in the last 12 matchups.  Take Georgia.

7* Wizards/Lakers NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Washington +7

The Key: The Washington Wizards are really playing well right now and are as healthy as they've been all season.  Westbrook and Beal are really starting to gel together.  The Wizards are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games while covering those 4 games by a combined 47.5 points.  They upset Portland, Denver and Boston as underdogs and beat Houston by 12 as a short favorite.  Now they are catching 7 points against a Lakers team that has been upset in 3 of its last 4 games.  And it's a tired Lakers team that is playing without Anthony Davis and Dennis Shroeder.  The Wizards will be playing only their 2nd game in 5 days and are in the more favorite situation.  The Lakers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games against teams that lose by 3 PPG or more on average on the season.  They just have a way of playing to their level of competition.  Take Washington.

6* Monday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Blazers/Suns OVER 227

The Key: The Blazers have scored 111 or more points in 6 straight games and have combined for 229 or more points with their opponents in 5 of those 6.  They don't play much defense, but their offense has been clicking.  The Suns have also been playing their best on offense all season here recently since getting Devin Booker back.  The Suns have scored 119 or more points in 6 of their last 7 games overall.  The OVER is 6-1 in those 7 games.  The Suns and Blazers have combined for 226 or more points in 5 of their last 6 head-to-head matchups.  The OVER is 7-0 in Blazers last 7 games as underdogs.  Take the OVER.

6* Oregon/USC Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Oregon +4

The Key: The Oregon Ducks had some COVID breaks that interrupted their season at the start of Pac-12 play.  But they have found a rhythm now and have won 5 straight games to improve to 14-4 on the season.  They always seem to be the best team in the Pac-12 every year, at least the most consistent.  And this is a great opportunity to back them as a dog against the perceived best team in the conference in USC.  But the Trojans showed their vulnerabilities in a 72-81 loss to Arizona on Saturday.  They have weak guard play, and rely too much on their post players.  Oregon is 25-9 ATS in its last 34 games against a team that wins more than 60% of their games.  The Ducks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as road dogs.  The Ducks are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 trips to USC.   The Trojans are 17-34 ATS in their last 51 games as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points.  The Ducks are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games against good teams that outscore their foes by 8 PPG or more after 15 or more games.  Take Oregon.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Southern Illinois -1.5

The Key: Southern Illinois lost a heartbreaker to Valparaiso by a single point 65-66 on Sunday.  Look for the Salukis to avenge that defeat and continue being great in this situation.  The Salukis are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games after losing the first game of the double-header in MVC play.  They have come back to win all 3 games and were short favorites or underdogs in all 3 against Northern Iowa, Bradley and Illinois State.  Valparaiso is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after winning its last game outright as an underdog.  Take Southern Illinois.

6* Sunday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Thunder/Cavs OVER 216

The Key: Two non-playoff teams here in the Thunder (11-18) and Cavaliers (10-20) who I expect to have defense be option today.  Defense has really been optional for the Cavaliers since Andre Drummond decided to sit out.  The Cavaliers have yielded 119 or more points in 9 straight games now.  The OVER is 7-0 in Thunder's last 7 road games against a team with a losing home record.  The OVER is 21-7 in OKC's last 28 games as a road favorite.  The OVER is 10-4-1 in Cavaliers last 15 games as an underdog.  Take the OVER.

6* Celtics/Pelicans ABC *CA$H COW* on OVER 232

The Key: The Pelicans are 8-0 OVER in their last 8 games overall with their last 6 games all getting to 235 or more points.  They are 21-3 OVER in their last 24 games dating back further.  The OVER is 12-1 in Pelicans last 13 home games.  The last 4 matchups in this series have seen 231 or more points scored 3 times.  The Celtics and Pelicans will take part in yet another shootout today.  Take the OVER.

7* Michigan/Ohio State Big Ten *HEAVY HITTER* on Ohio State ML +110

The Key: The Ohio State Buckeyes have won 10 of their last 11 games with their only loss coming by 2 points to Purdue.  The Buckeyes have won 16 of their last 18 home matchups with the Wolverines.  The home team has covered 8 of the last 10 matchups in this series.  The Buckeyes are 21-8 ATS in their last 29 home games.  Take Ohio State on the Money Line.

6* Cincinnati/Houston AAC *CA$H COW* on Cincinnati +13.5

The Key: The Houston Cougars have recent upset losses to ECU 73-82 as 16.5-point favorites and Wichita State 63-68 as 7.5-point favorites.  They should not be laying 13.5 points to Cincinnati today.  I like the price we are getting on a Bearcats team that has won 4 straight and just doesn't get blown out.  They have only lost one game all season by double-digits.  The underdog is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 matchups.  Take Cincinnati.

7* NBA Non-Conference Game of the Year on Charlotte Hornets +2

The Key: The Golden State Warriors just can't have much gas left in the tank tonight.  They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after their loss in Orlando last night.  Curry played 37 minutes, Oubre 36, Green 33 and Wiggins 32.  And the Warriors don't have much of a bench at all especially without Wiseman and Looney.  Golden State hasn't had more than one day off in a row in over 3 weeks.  The Hornets will have plenty of gas in the tank because they have had the last 5 days off.  They got good news on the injury front too with both Hayward and Washington returning to the lineup tonight.  Golden State is 5-16-1 ATS in its last 22 games when playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  The Hornets are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as home dogs.  Take Charlotte.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Fresno State +14

The Key: I like the price we are getting on Fresno State here in this rematch with San Diego State.  The Bulldogs lost 53-67 at home to the Aztecs as 13.5-point dogs and are now 14-point dogs this time around.  They will be the hungrier team and they aren't likely to shoot as poorly as they did in the 1st matchup.  They shot just 33.3% while the Aztecs shot 48.1%.  The price is getting steep to back the Aztecs now that they are ranked in the Top 25 after going 7-0 SU & 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.  The price is right to back the Bulldogs after going 4-5 SU & 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games.  The Bulldogs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games off a double-digit home loss.  The underdog is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 matchups.  The Bulldogs are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games off a home conference loss.  Take Fresno State.

6* Auburn/LSU SEC *CA$H COW* on LSU -4

The Key: The Auburn Tigers know they won't be going to the NCAA Tournament and they are having a hard time just playing for pride of late.  They are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games overall with their only win coming over lowly Vanderbilt by 6 points.  That includes upset home losses to both Ole Miss and Georgia.  Now they hit the road to take on a very good LSU team that is trying to cement itself in the NCAA Tournament.  The Tigers are 9-2 at home this year and coming off 2 straight blowout wins over Tennessee by 13 at home and Mississippi State by 14 on the road.  They were underdogs in both games.  I like the price here as only 4-point home favorites.  Take LSU.

6* Utah State/Boise State Mountain West *BAILOUT* on Utah State +1.5

The Key: The Utah State Aggies will be looking to avenge their 70-79 road loss at Boise State on Wednesday.  The Aggies made just 3 3-pointers and shot them at 18% in that game.  They shoot over 34% on the season, so it was an aberration.  Utah State is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 road games.  The road team is 10-3 ATS in the last 14 matchups.  Take Utah State.

6* Friday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Thunder/Bucks UNDER 231.5

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night after scoring just 96 points against the Toronto Raptors last night.  They are 9-2 UNDER in their last 11 games when playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  They are tired right now and that will affect their legs and shooting on offense.  These teams just played 5 days ago with the Thunder winning 114-109.  The UNDER is now 8-2 in the last 10 matchups, including 6-1 in the last 7 matchups in Milwaukee.  The Thunder and their opponents have combined for 223 or fewer points at the end of regulation in 5 of their last 6 games coming in.  Take the UNDER.

7* Bulls/76ers ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Chicago +8.5

The Key: The Philadelphia 76ers are 1-3 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.  Their only win came against a short-handed Houston Rockets team by 5 as 8.5-point favorites.  And they shouldn't be 8.5-point favorites tonight over a Chicago Bulls team that is playing well and thrives in the role of the underdog.  The Bulls have won 4 of their last 6 games overall with one of their losses coming by 4 points.  The Bulls are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as underdogs.  Chicago is an even better 10-1 ATS in its last 11 games as a road underdog.  Philadelphia is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 games after scoring 110 points or more in 3 straight games.  Take Chicago.

7* Pac-12 Game of the Year on Oregon -3

The Key: The Oregon Ducks have won 3 straight coming in with double-digit wins over Washington and ASU as well as an upset road win at Arizona.  They are playing their best basketball of the season now that they are 4 games removed from their last COVID pause.  And now they have their sights set on avenging a 72-79 loss at Colorado in their first matchup.  The Buffaloes are just 17-43 ATS in their last 60 road games.  The home team is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 matchups.  The favorite is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 matchups.  The Ducks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home matchups with the Buffaloes.  Take Oregon.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Sacramento Kings +1.5

The Key: The Miami Heat are 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS in their last 3 games.  They just have been a huge disappointment this year.  And now the Heat are in an awful situation tonight playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a 112-120 (OT) loss to the Warriors last night.  They are still missing several key players due to injury so they are short-handed, making this situation off an OT game in which their starters played big minutes even worse.  The Kings will be hungry to end a 4-game losing streak here against a pretty tough schedule.  Now they've had the last 2 days off to regroup and will be the fresher team.  They will push the tempo like they do every night and take advantage of those tired Miami legs.  This will also be the 5th straight road game for the Heat, adding to the tough situation.  Miami is 1-9 ATS in its 10 games against teams that allow 46% shooting or higher this season.  The Heat are 3-11 ATS as favorites this season.  Sacramento is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 Thursday games.  The Kings are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 matchups with Miami.  Take Sacramento.

6* St. Mary's/Gonzaga WCC *CA$H COW* on St. Mary's +20.5

The Key: St. Mary's only lost 59-73 in its first matchup with Gonzaga as a 16.5-point dog earlier this season.  Now the Gaels are 20.5-point dogs in their 2nd matchup and it's just too much.  The Gaels are the one team in the WCC that has proven to give the Bulldogs some trouble over the years.  They can make a game of this with their ability to slow the tempo and play great defense.  They give up only 61.8 PPG this year.  The Gaels are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 road games.  St. Mary's is 14-6 ATS in its last 20 road games against a team with a winning home record.  The road team is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 matchups.  The Bulldogs are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games off an ATS win.  Take St. Mary's.

6* Minnesota/Indiana Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota +6.5

The Key: Everyone is jumping on Indiana today seeing that Minnesota is 0-7 SU & 1-6 ATS on the road this season.  But those 7 road losses all came to better teams than Indiana with the exception of Maryland.  This is an 11-9 Indiana team that has lost 3 of its last 4 home games with its only win coming by 2 points.  The Hoosiers should not be laying 6.5 points here to the Golden Gophers.  I actually think Minnesota is the better team, so home-court advantage is not worth 6.5 points.  The price is right to back the Gophers, who are 10-1 ATS int heir last 11 games off a loss in which they scored less than 60 points.  The Hoosiers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as home favorites.  The underdog is 15-6 ATS in the last 21 matchups.  Take Minnesota.

7* NBA Situational Game of the Month on Washington Wizards +3.5

The Key: The Washington Wizards are finally healthy and playing up to their potential now after a COVID pause.  The Wizards are coming off 2 straight blowout wins over Boston by 13 and Houston by 12.  They had yesterday off and will be the fresher team here.  The Nuggets will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after their 99-112 loss in Boston last night.  They are already short-handed as they played without Barton, Millsap, Harris and Morris last night and all 4 are questionable to return tonight.  Jokic played over 37 minutes and scored 43 points and it still wasn't enough to beat the Celtics.  That effort will have taken its toll on their best player.  The Nuggets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.  The Wizards are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home matchups with Denver.  Take Washington.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Valparaiso +20.5

The Key: Valparaiso recently outscored Drake by 14 points in 2 matchups with them.  They lost by 3 in OT in the first matchup and won by 17 in the 2nd matchup.  Given they've shown they can play with Drake, they will have the confidence to play with Loyola-Chicago tonight as well.  They did get blown out by the Ramblers earlier this season, but they have been a much better team since.  And they were 11-point dogs in that first matchup and are now 20.5-point dogs in the 2nd matchup.  That 9.5-point difference shows that the price is right to back the Crusaders here tonight.  Loyola-Chicago could be primed for a letdown after playing Drake twice over the weekend as well.  They won't be nearly as hungry to face this Valpo team that they've already blown out once.  Bets on dogs of 10 or more points who went under the total by 24 or more points in their last 3 games against an opponent that went under the total by 42 or more points in their last 7 games are 71-32 ATS over the last 5 years.  Loyola-Chicago plays at a snails' pace which makes it difficult for them to cover these big numbers.  Take Valparaiso.

6* Evansville/Indiana State MVC *CA$H COW* on Evansville +6.5

The Key: Evansville wants to avenge its 70-76 home loss to Indiana State on February 14 as 3-point underdogs.  The Purple Aces come back as 6.5-point dogs at Indiana State just 3 days later here.  To give up 59.6% shooting to the Sycamores and only lost by 6 is actually impressive.  The Sycamores won't shoot nearly as well in the rematch.  They shoot just 43.4% as a team this season.  The Purple Aces are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as dogs.  Take Evansville.

7* Nets/Suns TNT *BAILOUT* on Phoenix -5

The Key: The Phoenix Suns are proving to be a real contender in the Western Conference now that they are healthy.  The Suns are 9-1 SU & 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall.  Now they get to host a Brooklyn Nets team that is in a terrible situation playing for a 2nd consecutive night after a 136-125 win in Sacramento last night.  The Nets are without Kevin Durant and don't have a very deep bench, so it's tough for them to handle these situations right now.  The Nets are 9-21 ATS in their last 30 games when playing for a 2nd consecutive day.  The Suns are 7-0 ATS in their 7 home games against Eastern Conference teams this season.  Phoenix is 17-4 ATS in its last 21 games against a team with a winning record.  The Suns are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as home favorites.  Take Phoenix.

6* Xavier/St. John's Big East *CA$H COW* on St. John's -1

The Key: St. John's is 7-2 SU & 8-1 ATS in its last 9 games overall.  The Red Storm's only losses during this stretch came by 2 points to Marquette and by 3 at Butler in OT after they blew a 16-point lead.  They have upset wins over Providence, Villanova, Marquette and Connecticut during this run.  Now they want to avenge their 61-69 road loss at Xavier on January 6th.  The Musketeers have only played 2 games since January 10 due to COVID pauses.  They are rusty right now and taking on a completely different Red Storm team than the first time they met.  The Red Storm are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.  Take St. John's.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Boston Celtics -2

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Boston Celtics tonight.  They have been upset in each of their last 2 games by Detroit and Washington and have dropped 4 of their last 5 coming in.  They will be ready to bounce back tonight with the Denver Nuggets coming to town.  The Nuggets have won 3 straight home games coming in, including their win over the Lakers on Sunday.  I look for them to fall flat tonight after beating the Lakers.  The Nuggets will be without Millsap, Harris and Barton tonight and could be without Morris.  Denver is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games off a win by more than 10 points.  The Celtics are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as home favorites.  Take Boston.

7* 76ers/Jazz NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Philadelphia +8

The Key: Bettors are getting no bargains on the Utah Jazz at this point after going 17-2 ATS in their last 19 games overall.  Now they are 8-point favorites here over a Philadelphia 76ers team that is one of the best in the NBA.  But the 76ers are coming off 2 straight road losses at Portland and Phoenix, so we are getting a bargain on them tonight.  The 76ers are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 matchups with Utah.  The Jazz are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games against teams that win more than 60% of their games.  Take Philadelphia.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Washington +8

The Key: I really like the price we are getting with Washington in this rivalry game.  Washington State beat Washington by 15 points in their first matchup this year.  But that was a letdown spot for the Huskies as they were coming off 2 straight upset wins over Colorado and Utah.  The price is right to back them in the rematch when you consider they were 1.5-point favorites in that first matchup and now are 8-point dogs in the 2nd matchup.  The books have adjusted this line a whopping 9.5 points.  The underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups.  Take Washington.

6* Monday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Bulls/Pacers OVER 226

The Key: The Chicago Bulls have gone OVER the total in their last 2 games coming in with averages of 238 combined points per game.  The Pacers just finished with 238 combined points with the Hawks.  The OVER is 4-0 in the last 4 matchups in this series, including the 231 points they combined for in their first matchup this season.  The Bulls are 8-0 OVER in their last 8 home games when avenging a home loss.  Take the OVER.

7* Blazers/Mavericks ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Dallas -4.5

The Key: It's fun seeing what the Mavericks can do at full strength now that they have been healthy for the first time all season just recently.  The results have shown as they have won 4 straight games.  But the Mavericks are just 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games overall, so we are getting them cheap today as only 4.5-point favorites over the Blazers.  I can't see the Blazers competing with the Mavericks without CJ McCollum.  Portland is 6-14-1 ATS in its last 21 games off a win by more than 10 points.  The Blazers are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 road games against a team with a losing home record.  Dallas is 21-8 ATS in the last 29 matchups, including 9-4 ATS in the last 13 home matchups.  Take Dallas.

6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Missouri State -10

The Key: Bradley played without 4 of its best players yesterday in a 58-80 road loss to Missouri State.  It should be more of the same here as the Braves are without these guys until Wednesday.  They are missing Childs (14.2 PPG, 8.3 RPG), Henry (10.7 PPG, 4.7 RPG), Nolan Jr. (11.2 PPG, 3.3 APG) and Kingsby (4.0 PPG) due to suspension.  That's their Top 3 scorers plus a key bench guy.  Missouri State is 8-0 ATS as a favorite this season.  The Bears are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games off a blowout home win by 20 points or more.  Take Missouri State.

6* American Athletic *CA$H COW* on Tulane +5

The Key: Tulane is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games overall.  It has lost just once by more than 4 points during this stretch, which was an 8-point loss at Wichita State as as 12-point dogs.  The Green Wave shouldn't be catching 5 points against a South Florida team that is rusty due to a COVID break.  The Bulls didn't play for an entire month then had to come back and play Houston, and it wasn't pretty in a 17-point loss.  They were gassed in the 2nd half.  They won't be much better today in their 2nd game back and this is a game I expect the Green Wave to win outright.  Tulane is 7-0 ATS in its last 7 road games off 3 straight games as an underdog.  The Bulls are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.  Take Tulane.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on UNLV +9.5

The Key: UNLV will be hungry to avenge its 66-78 road loss at Boise State on Thursday.  Now the Rebels are 9.5-point dogs here Saturday and will be the hungrier team.  The Rebels are 32-12 ATS in their last 44 road games when playing with one or less days' rest.  The Rebels are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Saturday games.  We're getting them cheap here Saturday because they have failed to cover 6 in a row coming in.  The Broncos have dropped 3 of their last 5 games overall after finally stepping up in competition after padding their 14-4 record in the first half of the season.  Take UNLV.

6* Nets/Warriors ABC *CA$H COW* on Brooklyn -4

The Key: The Brooklyn Nets have dropped 3 of their last 4 games without Kevin Durant.  But Durant practiced Friday in San Francisco and makes his return today.  They have been such a better team with him than without him.  They had won 5 of their previous 6 games before he was sidelined.  And you know he's going to want to put on a show here against his former team in the Warriors.  This is a Golden State team that is missing 2 of its best big men in James Wiseman and Kevon Looney.  The Nets should be able to get to the rim and finish at will against Golden State because of it.  The Nets come in on 2 days' rest so they will be ready to go.  The Warriors will be playing their 4th game in 6 days here.  Brooklyn is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups, including 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups at Golden State.  We are getting the Nets cheap here Saturday.  Take Brooklyn.

7* Big Ten Game of the Year on Michigan State +5

The Key: The Michigan State Spartans have won 2 in a row and are making a push to make the NCAA Tournament.  Now it's time for them to avenge their 78-84 road loss at Iowa last week.  The Spartans come back as 5-point home dogs here.  That's significant when you consider Michigan State is 17-1 SU in its last 18 home matchups with the Hawkeyes.  This line is way off for a Hawkeyes team that has dropped 4 of its last 6 games coming in.  The Spartans should be the favorites in this matchup and don't be afraid to bet a percentage of your wager on the money line as well.  Take Michigan State.

6* NBA Friday Night *BAILOUT* on Cleveland Cavaliers +4.5

The Key: Portland is coming off a huge upset win over Philadelphia last night on National TV on TNT.  Now the Blazers will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night and won't have much left in the tank for the Cleveland Cavaliers.  They also won be nearly as hungry to face Cleveland as they were to face the 76ers.  The Blazers will now be playing their 7th game in 12 days.  The Cavaliers are hungry for a win after losing 5 straight against a brutal schedule of the Bucks (twice), Clippers, Suns and Nuggets.  Portland is 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games when playing 8 or more games in 14 days.  The Blazers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 home games.  Take Cleveland.

7* Pelicans/Mavs ESPN *HEAVY HITTER* on Dallas -2.5

The Key: We are getting a great price on the Dallas Mavericks tonight after failing to cover 10 of their last 11 games overall.  But they have won 4 of their last 5 games straight up and only have to cover 2.5 points tonight at home against the New Orleans Pelicans.  It's a good time to fade the Pelicans after covering 4 of their last 5 games.  But after playing 7 of their last 9 games at home, the Pelicans are now back on the road.  New Orleans is 2-6 SU in its last 8 road games with its only wins coming by 1 point over the Pacers and by 5 over the Kings.  The 6 losses all came by 5 points or more with 5 of them coming by double-digits.  The Mavericks are 4-0 SU & 3-1 ATS in their last 4 matchups with the Pelicans with the 4 wins coming by 19.5 PPG.  Take Dallas.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Temple +6.5

The Key: Temple will be hungry to avenge its 63-60 home loss to Cincinnati as 3-point dogs on February 4th.  Now the Owls are 6.5-point dogs in the rematch just 8 days later with the only difference being the change of venue.  I love the price we are getting with the Owls here tonight catching 3.5 more points than they were in the first matchup.  Cincinnati has won just one of its last 11 games by more than 5 points.  That was a 7-point win over SMU.  The Owls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.  The Bearcats are 16-38 ATS in their last 54 games overall.  Cincinnati is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 home games.  The Bearcats are 16-35 ATS in their last 51 games as favorites, including 1-7 ATS as favorites this season.  The road team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups.  Take Temple.

7* Raptors/Celtics NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Boston -3

The Key: The situation really favors the Celtics over the Raptors tonight.  They are back home after playing 5 straight road games.  They had Wednesday off and are 5-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.  They host a Raptors team that will be playing their 5th road game in 7 days.  The Raptors will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after winning in Washington last night.  I just don't see Toronto having much left in the tank for a hungry Boston team that will be looking to bounce back from 2 consecutive losses.  The Celtics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 matchups with the Raptors.  Take Boston.

6* Iowa State/Kansas Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +15.5

The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones keep fighting hard for their first Big 12 victory.  They are 0-9 SU in Big 12 games but 6-3 ATS in conference play.  They are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games with a 4-point loss to West Virginia as an 11.5-point dog, a 7-point loss at Oklahoma as a 14-point dog and a 3-point loss at TCU as a 4.5-point dog.  They can certainly stay within 15.5 points of a Kansas team that is the worst Kansas team we have seen in years.  The Jayhawks are just 13-7 SU & 8-11 ATS this season.  They have won just one of their last 9 games by more than 12 points.  They just aren't blowing teams out this season.  The Cyclones are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games against teams that win more than 60% of their home games.  The Jayhawks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games off a win.  The road team is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 matchups.  The Cyclones are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 games as a road underdog of 12.5 or more points.  Take Iowa State.

6* Purdue/Minnesota Big Ten *CA$H COW* on Minnesota -3

The Key: Minnesota will be hungry to avenge a 62-81 road loss at Purdue on January 30th.  I like their chances considering the Golden Gophers are 12-1 SU & 8-4-1 ATS at home this year.  Purdue is just 3-5 SU in true road games this year.  The home team is 5-0 SU in the last 5 matchups in this series.  The Golden Gophers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games.  Take Minnesota.

6* Bucks/Suns ESPN *BAILOUT* on OVER 226.5

The Key: The OVER is 5-1-1 in Bucks last 7 games overall with none of those games going to overtime.  They have averaged 237.9 PPG combined with their opponents and 6 of the 7 games have seen 228 or more combined points.  So a total of 226.5 here against the Suns is too low.  And 3 of the last 4 matchups in this series have gone for 230 or more combined points with an average of 239.3 PPG combined.  Take the OVER.

7* Hawks/Mavericks ESPN *Total* Annihilator on OVER 232

The Key: The OVER is 4-0 in Mavericks last 4 games overall.  They have averaged 254 PPG combined with their opponents in these 4 games and none of them went to overtime.  So a total of 232 here against a Hawks team they just combined for 238 points with a couple games back is too low.  Enjoy rooting for points here because there will be plenty of them to cash this ticket.  Take the OVER.

6* Wednesday NCAAB *UPSET SPECIAL* on UCF ML +120

The Key: UCF wants to avenge its 88-93 (OT) loss at Wichita State on January 30th.  The Knights get to host the Shockers just 10 days later and will pull the upset at home to get their revenge.  Wichita State has been very fortunate to win its last 3 games as they have all come by 8 points or less against some bad teams in UCF, Tulane and Temple all at home.  IN their last road game, they lost 52-72 at Memphis.  The Shockers are now 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall.  The Knights have played 4 straight road games and just upset Tulsa 65-58 as 5-point road dogs.  They will be happy to be back home tonight.  The Knights are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games.  The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 matchups.  Take UCF on the Money Line.

6* Wednesday NCAAB *BLOWOUT* on Houston -12.5

The Key: South Florida has been off since January 9 due to COVID.  Now they return almost exactly one month later and face the worst possible team they could in the American Athletic.  They have to go up against a Top 10 team in Houston here, which is 16-2 on the season with 14 of those wins by double-digits.  Rust will be a factor for the Bulls, and the Cougars will take advantage and stomp on them early and hold them off late for a win and cover.  The Cougars are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.  The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 matchups.  The Bulls are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.  Take Houston.

6* Tulane/Tulsa AAC *CA$H COW* on Tulane +7.5

The Key: Tulane has covered 3 straight coming in with an upset win at Temple, an 8-point loss at Wichita State and a 3-point home loss to Cincinnati.  The Green Wave are playing well, while the Tulsa Golden Hurricane are not.  Tulsa has lost 4 of its last 5 games overall with 2 straight home losses to SMU and UCF.  The road team is 6-0 ATS in the last 6 matchups in this series.  In its last 5 trips to Tulsa, Tulane hasn't once lost by more than 8 points.  The Green Wave are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road dog between 6.5 and 12 points.  The Green Wave are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 road games overall.  Take Tulane.

6* Iowa State/TCU Big 12 *CA$H COW* on Iowa State +6.5

The Key: The Iowa State Cyclones are 0-8 SU in Big 12 play but 5-3 ATS.  They have been competitive against some great teams as they covered in losses to Oklahoma by 7 and WVU by 4 in their last 2 games coming in.  They are hungry for their first Big 12 victory and their best chance of the season comes tonight against the TCU Horned Frogs.  This is a TCU team that is 1-5 SU in its last 6 games with its lone victory coming by 3 points.  TCU is 1-7 ATS in its 8 home games this year.  The Horned Frogs are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as home favorites.  TCU is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record.  The Horned Frogs are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games against a team with a losing record.  Take Iowa State.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Butler -1

The Key: The price is getting steep to back a St. John's team that has won 6 straight and covered 8 in a row coming in.  That includes their 69-57 home win over Butler back on January 12.  Now the Bulldogs will be hungry to avenge that defeat and put an end to this winning streak.  The Bulldogs are as healthy as they've been all season now and are starting to play up to their potential.  They have won 3 of their last 6 including and upset home win over Creighton.  They also beat DePaul by 10 at home last time out and are in the more favorable situation playing just their 2nd game in 7 days.  The Red Storm will be playing their 5th game in 14 days and their 4th road game during this stretch.  The Bulldogs are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games when the line is +3 to -3.  The Bulldogs are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games when avenging a loss.  The home team is 11-1 ATS in the last 12 matchups.  Take Butler.

7* Rockets/Pelicans TNT *HEAVY HITTER* on New Orleans -5.5

The Key: The New Orleans Pelicans are playing their best basketball of the season right now.  They are 3-0 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last 3 games overall while outscoring Phoenix, Indiana and Memphis by a combined 32 points.  Now they are in the better spot here coming in on 2 days' rest and hosting the tired Houston Rockets.  The Rockets will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a 25-point loss in Charlotte last night in which they only trailed by 3 entering the 4th quarter before gassing out.  It will also be the 5th game in 7 days for the Rockets.  They are already without their best player in Christian Wood and will be without Victor Oladipo tonight due to rest.  The Rockets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record.  Houston is 8-20 ATS in its last 28 games off a SU loss.  The Pelicans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days' rest.  Take New Orleans.

7* NBA Total of the Month on Warriors/Spurs OVER 233.5

The Key: These are two OVER teams right now, especially the Warriors.  Golden State is coming off 2 straight games that didn't go to OT against Dallas in which they combined for 263 and 266 points.  A big reason for these high-scoring games is the losses of 2 post players for the Warriors in Wiseman and Looney.  They have been forced to go small ball even more than they usually do.  The Spurs will oblige as they like the small ball route as well and have to do the same now that LaMarcus Aldridge is out with a hip injury.  These teams played a couple weeks ago with the Warriors winning 121-99.  But the Spurs shot 4-of-33 (12.1%) from 3-point range in that game.  It was a fast-paced game with the Spurs getting 94 shots and the Warriors 91.  Betting shooting from the Spurs and an even faster-paced game in the rematch will have this one sailing OVER the total.  Take the OVER.

6* NBA Situational *SLAM DUNK* on San Antonio Spurs -1.5

The Key: The Spurs want to avenge their 99-121 road loss to the Warriors a few weeks ago.  They shot 4-of-33 (12.1%) from 3-point range in that defeat.  They won't shoot that poorly again.  Now the Spurs are at home for the rematch and the home team has been dominant in this series.  The home team is 7-1 SU in the last 8 matchups.  The Warriors will be without James Wiseman this time around.  He had 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting in that first matchup.  The Spurs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games when avenging a road blowout loss by 20 points or more, 58-28 ATS in their last 86 games avenging a loss, and 21-4 ATS in their last 25 games avenging a road loss by 10 points or more.  Take San Antonio.

6* Monday NBA *Total* Annihilator on Rockets/Hornets UNDER 223.5

The Key: The Houston Rockets won't have one of their best offensive weapons tonight in Christian Wood, who remains out with an ankle injury.  That will certainly help this UNDER.  The Rockets are the 2nd-ranked team in the NBA in defensive efficiency this season.  They have yielded 112 points or fewer in 10 straight contests.  The Hornets won't be lighting up the scoreboard given the tough situation for them.  They will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day here and it will also be their 10th game in 18 days.  The Hornets just held the Wizards to 97 points in their win on Sunday.  This looks to be a defensive struggle.  The UNDER is 9-1 in Houston's last 10 games against teams that average 88 or more shots per game.  The UNDER is 19-7 in the last 26 matchups.  The UNDER is 8-2 in the last 10 matchups in Charlotte.  Take the UNDER.

6* Oregon State/Colorado Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on Oregon State +12.5

The Key: The Oregon State Beavers are playing too well right now to be catching this many points from Colorado.  The Beavers are 5-2 SU & 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall.  Their only losses both came on the road to 2 of the best teams in the Pac-12 in USC by 13 and UCLA by 5.  They also upset Oregon by 11 as 9-point road dogs and upset USC as 10-point home dogs.  Colorado hasn't won any of its last 5 games by more than 12 points.  They lost outright as a 7.5-point home favorite to Utah and outright as a 13-point road favorite at Washington.  That's the same Washington team that Oregon State beat by 20 at home two games ago.  The road team is 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in the last 4 matchups with the Beavers pulling the outright upset in each of their last 2 trips to Colorado.  The Buffaloes are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games off a win.  The Beavers are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams that attempt 18 or fewer FT per game.  Take Oregon State.

7* Chiefs/Bucs Super Bowl *HEAVY HITTER* on Tampa Bay +3

The Key: The Tampa Bay Bucs have been dominant since their bye week.  They are 7-0 since their bye and scoring 34 PPG.  The Bucs have the offense to keep up with Patrick Mahomes, who will be running for his life in the Super Bowl without the services of his 2 starting offensive tackles.  The Bucs have the way better defense in this game as they are 6th in the NFL on that side of the ball while the Chiefs are only 18th.  And Tampa Bay will be playing at home.  The Bucs did not play well at all in their first matchup with the Chiefs this season and still only lost 24-27.  They will have their revenge here on the biggest stage of them all with Tom Brady doing what he does.  Take Tampa Bay.

6* NCAAB Situational *SLAM DUNK* on Southern Illinois +8

The Key: Southern Illinois was covering the entire way yesterday until fouls in the final second led to them losing 66-74 at Bradley, pushing as 8-point underdogs.  Now the Salukis are identical 8-point road dogs to the Braves today.  I expect them to improve upon that result and stay within the number this time and possibly pull the upset.  It's a struggling Bradley team that is just 1-6 SU & 0-5-2 ATS in its last 7 games overall.  The Salukis are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games against a team that wins more than 60% of their games.  The road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups.  Take Southern Illinois.

6* Celtics/Suns NBA TV *CA$H COW* on Phoenix -3

The Key: The Boston Celtics will be without both Jaylen Brown and and Marcus Smart today.  I don't think they'll have what it takes to beat the Phoenix Suns without these two.  The Suns are playing too well right now in going 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 contests.  They are coming off a 17-point home win over the Pistons.  That's significant because the Suns are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 games after winning their previous game by more than 10 points.  Take Phoenix.

6* Missouri Valley *CA$H COW* on Valparaiso +13

The Key: We were right on Valpo +13 yesterday and the price is right to back the Crusaders again at home as identical 13-point dogs to Drake again today.  They nearly handed Drake their first loss of the season, losing just 77-80 yesterday.  So even held an 8-point lead at halftime.  They can stay within 13 here and possibly pull off the upset.  The pressure is mounting with each passing game for the Bulldogs to try and remain unbeaten.  At some point they will slip up and it's going to be hard for them to keep covering these double-digit spread.  These 2 road games against Valpo are the first time all season that Drake has been a double-digit road favorite.  The Crusaders are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 games as home dogs.  Bets on home teams off a home cover where they lost straight up as an underdog against an opponent after a road game where both team scored 75 points or more are 34-7 ATS over the last 5 years.  Take Valparaiso.

6* Saturday NBA *UPSET SPECIAL* on Memphis Grizzlies ML +106

The Key: The Memphis Grizzlies had won 7 straight prior to losing their last 2 games to Indiana and Houston.  Now the Grizzlies will be hungry to get back on track here against the New Orleans Pelicans, who are in an awful spot.  The Pelicans will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after a hard-fought 114-113 win at Indiana last night.  Now they have to travel back home here and will be playing their 6th game in 9 days.  Don't be surprised if they rest some guys.  The Grizzlies will get both Valanciunas and Allen back in the lineup today after sitting out due to quarantine, which will give them a boost as both players were playing at a high level before having to sit out.  The Grizzlies are 6-2 SU & 6-2 ATS in road games this season.  Memphis is 7-2 ATS in its last 9 games overall.  The Pelicans are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as home favorites.  Take Memphis on the Money Line.
