Take La Salle.

This is my Consensus play.

Game 650.

11:00 am pst.

La Salle has already notched as many wins as they did all last season (10). Moreover, they are covering, at 11-5 ATS. GMU is on a three-game SU and AYS slide  and will have no answer for 6'8", 250 lb. forward, Ed Croswell. The Explorers are 8-2 ATS the L10 at home and 10-3 ATS the L13 overall. The Patriots are 3-7 ATS the L10 on the road and 3-8 ATS the L11 as an underdog. Take LaSalle. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 683.

7:00 pm pst.

At 16-1, the #1 ranked Gonzaga Bulldogs face a team they know very well. The 7-10 San Diego Toreros have not fared well in this series, dropping more than 10 straight. Both offensively and on the boards, they just can not contend here. Take Gonzaga. Thank you.

Take Y State.

This is my BB.

Game 608.

4:00 pm pst.

Youngstown State has covered 6 straight meetings in this series and enter this matchup covering 7 of the L8 on the season. Oakland and their 323rd ranked offense (64.0 PPG) just can't keep pace here. The Penguins are 4-0 ATS the L4 at home. Take Youngstown State. Thank you.

Take CS Northridge.

This is my BIG WEST GOM.

Game 852.

7:00 pm pst.

Northridge has covered 7 straight in this series and comes on here winning 2 of their L3 (both SU and ATS) since seeing the return of their top scorer, Lamine Diane (30.7 PPG/11.3 RPG). Long Beach State has yet to win a road game this season, going 0-9 SU and 3-6 ATS as a visitor. Take the Matadors. Thank you.  

Take Toronto.

This is my BB.

Game 554.

4:05 pm pst.

Toronto took the earlier meeting this season to give the team their eight SU win in the last nine matchups. The Raptors stifling "D" will completely shut down the Trailblazers lackluster "O". Portland is 1-6 ATS the L7 on the road and 1-5 ATS the L6 on one days rest. Take Toronto. Thank you.

Take South Carolina.

This is my SEC GOW.

Game 614.

4:00 pm pst.

After consecutive road wins at Clemson by 13 (six-point 'dog) and Virginia by 11 (10-point 'dog, South Carolina came home to lose outright by seven points to Stetson, a team they were favored by 22-points. Look for the Gamecocks to bounce back string here, once again as an underdog, with something to prove. Florida is 0-4 ATS the L4 following a SU win and 4-10 ATS the L14 overall. Take South Carolina. Thank you.

Take St. Louis.

This is my MM.

Game 609.

4:00 pm pst.

St. Louis has covered five of the last seven meetings in this series and enters this matchup the hotter team, having won their last three SU, while Duquesne has dropped their last two SU and three straight ATS. Both squads are missing some key players but, the Billikens have much more depth. St. Louis is 4-0 ATS the L4 on the road and 36117 ATS the L53 as an underdog. Take the Billikens. Thank you.

Take Dallas.

This is my CTB play.

Game 551.

5:05 pm pst.

Philly has dropped the L2 SU and has failed to cover 3 straight. Dallas is a covering machine, getting the bettors paid 12 of the L16 outings. These teams match up well but the Mavs have covered the L3 meetings and enter tonight 10-2 ATS this season on the road. Take Dallas. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

This is my OM play.

Game 544.

4:35 pm pst.

Toronto has taken 6 consecutive meetings with Washington SU (4-2 ATS). The Wizards are flat and face a raptors team riding a 3-game win and cover streak. On both ends of the court, Toronto is superior. Particularly the matchup between their offense and the 30th ranked Washington defense. The Wizards are 1-5 ATS the L6 at the Raptors and 2-8 ATS the L10 on 1 days rest. The Raptors are 18-7-1 ATS the L26 at home and 27-7 ATS the L34 on 1 days rest. Take the Raptors. Thank you.

Take Memphis.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 541.

4:05 pm pst.

Memphis has covered 5 of the L6 while Cleveland is on a 4-14 overall ATS slide and is just 4-14 SU the L18 at home. The Grizzlies have too much offensive firepower and will shred the Cavs "D" here. Cleveland is 18-38-3 ATS the L59 on 1 days rest and 2-6 ATS the L8 as an underdog. Take Memphis. Thank you.

Take UTEP.

This is my SHOCKER.

Game 725.

5:00 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a feisty, UTEP team that is 8-1 ATS this season (also 8-1 SU). Especially, for the overrated, Houston team that is not the same force they were a season ago (6-3 SU, 3-6 ATS). The Cougars are 1-4 ATS the L5 at home and 1-6 ATS the L7 vs. winners. Take the Miners. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my BB play.

Game 531.

4:35 pm pst.

Utah, which owns the NBA's #1 three-pt shooting offense, comes in here winning three in a row SU. Atlanta is on a five-game SU slide (1-4 ATS) in which the average margin of defeat is 15.6 PPG. The Hawks are absolutely horrible offensively and things go from bad to worse for them as they face one of the best defenses in basketball. Take the Jazz. Thank you.

Take Duke.

This is my MM.

Game 712.

4;00 pm pst.

Wofford is in "let down" mode here after Sunday's, surprise, 68-64 win over UNC as an 11.5-pt underdog. Duke knows not to take this matchup lightly and comes in here healthy and well-rested, having not played since December 6th. The potent, Blue Devils offense (93.4 PPG) is going to be too much for the Terriers to handle. Wofford id 1-4 ATS the K5 as an underdog and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Duke. Thank you.

Take Charlotte.

This is my BB play.

Game 517.

4:05 pm pst.

Charlotte enters this matchup red-hot, winning 4 of the L5 both SU and ATS while Cleveland  is on a 2-16 SU slide and has only covered 4 of the L17 outings. The Hornets took 3 of 4 meetings with the Cavaliers last year, by an average margin of 23.6 PPG. Nothing has changed since. Look for the Charlotte deadly outside shooting of Charlotte to devour one of the worst 3-pt defenses in the NBA. Cleveland is  3-7-1 ATS the L11 at home. Charlotte is 5-1 ATS the L6 on 0 days rest. Take the Hornets. Thank you.

Take Miami.

This is my ATR play.

Game 583.

5:05 pm pst.

Miami has won and covered the L5 in this series, including a 120-101 shellacking in the only meeting this season. Morant is back in the lineup for Memphis but it won't change the outcome as the Heat are superior at both ends of the court, Miami is 10-4 ATS the L14 as a road fav, 11-5 ATS the L16 on 1 days rest, and 17-8-1 ATS the L26 overall. Take the Heat. Thank you.

Take Detroit.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 578.

4:05 pm pst.

Washington beat Detroit, 115-98 in the only meeting this season, back on November 4th. However, the Pistons were without Griffin, Rose, and Jackson. They haven't won in Washington since 2014 but have won and covered the L3 in Detroit  and are 17-5 SU the L22 at home in this series. The Wizards are 1-4 ATS the L5 on the road, 2-5 ATS the L7 as a 'dog, and 2-6 ATS the L8 overall. Detroit is 4-0 ATS the L4 on 1 days rest, 13-6 ATS the L19 as a home fav, and 5-2 ATS the L7 overall. Take the Pistons. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my BB.

Game 574.

5:05 pm pst.

Denver has taken the L4 against New York, going 3-1 ATS, winning by 12, 7, 18, and 31 points. As a matter of fact, the Nuggets are 16-7 ATS the L23 at home laying DD's. The lackluster Knicks just won't be able to put up any points on the scoreboard against the #1 defense (101.2 PPG allowed) in the NBA. NY is 2-8 ATS the L10 vs. Denver and 6-20 ATS the L26 following an ATS win. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Take Orlando.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 565.

12:35 pm pst.

Orlando has dropped their L3 outings but playing New Orleans is just what the doctor ordered to change that. The Pelicans are on an 11-game SU slide only covering once during the drought. This matchup heavily favors the Magic on both ends of the court. Orlando is 4-0 ATS the L4 on the road. New Orleans is 0-4 ATS the L4 at home. Take the Magic. Thank you.

Take Gonzaga.

This is my OM PLAY.

Game 757.

7:00 pm pst.

This line should be a pick em or Gonzaga -1. They have the depth and experience to beat Arizona, as they did last November, 91-74. The Wildcats have covered just once over the L5 outings and outside of 3-pt shooting are inferior to the bulldogs in just about every other category. Take Gonzaga. Thank you.

Take WSU.

This is my REVENGE GOW.

Game 732.

3:00 pm pst.

Last season, Oklahoma thumped a Wichita State team that shot 24%, 80-48. The Sooners are just 1-4 ATS the L5 and face a Shockers team that just routed the Cowboys, 80-61. Wichita State is 5-2-1 ATS the L8 at home and 18-7-2 ATS the L27 overall. Take the Shockers. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my MISMATCH GOM.

Game 766.

1:00 pm pst.

In just what might be the biggest mismatch of the day, Utah and Weber State meet in Ogden. The Utes own the 7th ranked offense in the nation. Offensively, the Wildcats just don't measure up to contend in this matchup. Weber State is 0-5 ATS the L5 vs. teams with a winning percentage of over .600. Take Utah. State. Thank you.

Take LA.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 541.

5:05 pm pst.

Minnesota is on a downward spiral, having lost 6 in a row both SU and ATS. Their 27th ranked defense is going to get shredded by the NBA's 6th ranked offense of LA here. The Clippers are 12-4-1 ATS the L17 at the Timberwolves , 4-0 ATS the L4 on 1 days rest, and 5-1 ATS the L6 overall. Take Los Angeles. Thank you.

Take Philadelphia.

This is my BB play.

Game 534.

4:05 pm pst.

Don't put too much stock in the fact that both meetings last year were won by 1-pt by Philly. This is a much different New Orleans team this year as they are riding a 10-game SU losing streak in which they are a dismal, 1-9 ATS. Philadelphia is shredding opponents, winning 8 of the L9 SU and covering 5 of the L6. The 76ers are far superior on both ends of the court and on both boards. The Pelicans are 0-5 ATS the L5 on the road. Take Philadelphia. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 518.

6:35 pm pst.

The Bucks are blazing through the opposition, as they have won 15 straight outings. The #1 offense in the NBA is accounting for over 120.5 PPG while the Pelicans defense gets plowed for over 119.5 PPG, ranking 29th. Zion is still out and until he returns to action, not much will change for the 6-0 New Orleans team. The Pelicans are 0-4 ATS the L4 on the road, 0-7 ATS the L7 on 1 days rest, and 0-6 ATS the L6 overall. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Take Phoenix.

This is my ATR play.

Game 516.

6:05 pm pst.

Phoenix, which has covered their L3 coming into tonight, beat Memphis in the earlier meeting, 114-105. Since then, the Grizzlies have been bitten by the injury bug, and now have a few key players banged up. The Suns bring in the NBA's 5th best scoring offense to face its 26th ranked scoring defense of the Grizzlies. Phoenix is 9-3 ATS the L12 vs. losers. Memphis is 0-4 ATS the L4 following an ATs win. Take the Suns. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my CONSENSUS PLAY.

Game 527.

7:35 pm pst.

LA owns the best record in the West at 19-3, which includes a 10-1 mark on the road. Portland is 4-4 since Carmelo Anthony has arrived, but LeBron James is coming to town and he does not like to share the spotlight. Take the Lakers. Thank you.

Take Minnesota.

This is my OM play.

Game 515.

5:05 pm pst.

Minny has covered 8 straight against OKC, winning 6 of those 8 SU. the Timberwolves are superior both offensively and on the boards. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road and 8-2 ATS the L10 as a road 'dog. Take the Timberwolves. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my ATR play.

Game 513.

4:05 pm pst.

In juries haven't affected Brooklyn as they are 7-3 (SU and ATS) since Irving joined LeVert on the injury list. Charlotte, which is 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS their L10, just doesn't measure up offensively here. The Nets are 10-4 ATS the L14 vs. the Hornets and 4-1 ATS the L5 overall. Take Brooklyn. Thank you.

Take Portland.

This is my CTB play.

Game 878.

7:00 pm pst.

This line should be closer to DD's. Portland, which is 6-1 SU and ATS is playing very good basketball. CSN, at 1-7 SU and 3-4 ATS just doesn't have the horses to run in this matchup. Take the Pilots. Thank you.

Take Virginia.

This is my BB Play.

Game 831.

4:00 pm pst.

Virginia enters this contest at a perfect, 7-0. Purdue is 4-3 and despite having this game circled since an Elite 8, OT loss last March, will once again be disappointed. The Cavaliers again own the nation's #1 defense, yielding just 40.3 PPG and also 1st in FG%, allowing opponents to shoot a mere, 28.8%. The Boilermakers do not have an explosive offense to compete here. Virginia is 36-15 ATS the L51 on the road and 4-0 ATS the L4 vs. the Big ten. Purdue is 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. winners and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the AC C. Take the Cavaliers. Thank you.

Take UTEP.

This is my DOW.

Game 791.

6:00 pm pst.

UTEP, which is 5-0 SU and 2-0 ATS on the campaign, already thumped NMSU, 65-50 a few weeks ago. The Aggies are missing two key guards in Henry and Harris and just aren't the same team without them. they are 8-1 ATS the L9 nonconference games and 3-7 ATS the L10 at home. Take UTEP. Thank you.

Take Arkansas.

This is my CRUSHER PLAY.

Game 778.

5:00 pm pst.

Arkansas, which is 7-0 SU and 5-2 ATS, has won and covered the L3 meetings with Austin Peay. The Razorbacks are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS at home outscoring visitors by 24.5 PPG. The Governors will face the nation's #3 ranked defense here. Austin Peay is 1-6 ATS the L7 on the road and 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the SEC. Arkansas is 8-2 ATS the L10 nonconference games and 6-1 ATS the L7 vs. the OVC. Take the Razorbacks. Thank you.

Take GM.

This is my SD play.

Game 756.

4:00 pm pst.

With an 8-1 record, George mason is playing solid basketball. They are on a 3-game SU and ATS hot streak, in which they took down ODU, Nebraska, and NMSU. When stepping outside of the A10, the Patriots are money, going 9-3 ATS the L12. Take George Mason. Thank you.

Take Iowa.

This is my MM play.

Game 763.

4:00 pm pst.

Syracuse hasn't looked too sharp thus far, falling to every good foe they have faced. meanwhile, Iowa stepped up twice, covering both against Tennessee and Texas Tech, winning outright vs. the Red Raiders as a 7-pt 'dog. Must side with the hotter team getting points here. take the Hawkeyes. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

This is my CONSENSUS play.

Game 508.

4:35 pm pst.

Giving a team which is 6-0 SU, 5-1 ATS, and outscoring visitors by 14.1 PPG, points is a mistake. Toronto owns a top-10 squad on both sides of the court. Philly, which is 4-5 SU and 4-4-1 ATS, is having problems beating quality opponents. They are 3-9 ATS the L13 in Toronto and 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the East. The Raptors are 15-5-1 ATS the L21 at home and 9-3 ATS the L12 vs. the East. Take Toronto. Thank you.

Take LOY-CHI.

This is my MM.

Game 793.

10:30 am pst.

USF ranks 314th in scoring, as the Bulls average a dismal, 63.0 PPG. Ramblers center, Cameron Krutwig (16.6 PPG/6.8 RPG) leads an offense with four DD scorers. They will be too much for South Florida to keep up with. Take Loyola-Chicago. Thank you.

Take SD State.

This is my LVSM.

Game 814.

7:00 pm pst.

Sam Diego State, which is 4-0 SU and ATS has no problems running up the score. LIU, which is 1-3 SU, can not contend on the boards here with the bigger, stronger, more talented, and deeper SD State squad. The Aztecs are 4-0 ATS the L4 nonconference games and 36-17-2 ATS the L55 home games. Take SD State. Thank you.

Take Oregon.

This is  my REVENGE GOW.

Game 816.

6:00 pm pst.

Houston, which lost to a shorthanded, BYU squad a week ago, is not the same team they were a season ago when they won 33 games. They lost a ton of talent. Oregon, which also made it to the Sweet 16, reloaded very well and already notched quality wins over Fresno State, Boise State, and Memphis. While both teams can score, the Ducks are much tougher on the stop end, including a frustrating perimeter game. A place in which the Cougars have trouble contesting the "3". Look for the Ducks to exact some revenge here from LY's 5-poit loss. Oregon is 7-1 ATS the L8 at home, 7-1 ATS the L8 nonconference, and 14-2 ATS the L16 overall. Take the Ducks. Thank you.

Take Ohio State.

This is my MM.

Game 798.

4:00 pm pst.

IPFW, which is 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS on the road thus far, had problems with a team I know well, UNLV, losing by 15. Nationally-ranked Ohio State is a true Big Ten Challenger that is 4-0 SU (3-1 ATS) and just thumped Villanova by 15 and Stetson by 35. The Buckeyes are chock full of talent. Too much for the lowly, Matadors. OSU is 4-1 ATS the L5 at home, 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the Summit League, and 6-2 ATS the L8 overall. Take the Buckeyes. Thank you.

Take Morehead State.

This is my MM.

Game 707.

5:00 pm pst.

Both teams are 4-0 and both are perfect ATS. Granted, playing in the SEC is different from playing in the OVC, however. giving a team like Morehead State nearly 20 points is a mistake. The Eagles have a very well-balanced squad that can all score and a deep bench that can all rebound. Morehead State is 4-1 ATS the L5 nonconference games, 4-1-1 ATS the L6 road games, and 7-3-1 ATS the L11 overall games. Take the Eagles. Thank you.

Take Minnesota.

This is my DOW.

Game 793.

5:30 pm pst.

Minnesota is a very good team which returns a ton of talent. Their only downfall is that they are in the Big Ten. The odds makers are giving Butler way too much credit here. This game should be closer to a pick 'em. The Golden Gophers are 5-1 ATS the L6 following a SU loss. Take Minnesota. Thank you.

Take Auburn.

This is my ANNIHILATOR.

Game 781.

5:00 pm pst.

Auburn took LY's meeting, 101-58 and just came off a 1-pt win and cover over Davidson. This is a team that a season ago, won their conference Tourney and covered 4 of 5 in the Big Dance, losing in the Final Four by 1-pt to Virginia, which went on to win the National Championship. They are 8-0 ATS the L8 on the road and 6-1 ATS the L7 vs. the Sun Belt.

Take the Tigers. Thank you.

Take Miami.

This is my ATR play.

Game 566.

4:35 pm pst.

Jimmy Butler is back to further bolster the Miami top-10 (in every major category) defense. The only bright spot for Detroit is their top-ranked 3-pt shooting squad. However, Miami counters with the NBA's stingiest 3-pt defense. The home team is 7-3 ATS the L10 meetings in this series. The Pistons are 1-4 ATS the L5 at the Heat, 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the NBA SE, and 5-15-1 ATS the L21 overall. The Heat are 4-0 ATS the L4 at home, 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the East, and 8-2 ATS the L10 on three or more days rest. Take Miami. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my ATR.

Game 557.

7:35 pm pst.

Even with Golden State healthy and good, they had their hands full with Utah, as the Jazz have covered six straight in this series. Not only are the Warriors having trouble putting points on the board but they just can't seem to stop anyone from scoring either (28th, 121.1 PPG allowed). I'll side with Utah and the NBA's #1 defense (97.0 PPG allowed). Golden State is 15-35-1 ATS the last 51 at home and 4-9-1 ATS the last 14 overall. Take the Jazz. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

This is my OM play.

Game 559.

7:35 pm pst.

This is way too many points to give a very good Toronto team looking to prove there is life after Kawhi Leonard. Siakam and Van Vleet will keep this contest close. Take the Raptors. Thank you.

Take Houston.

This is my CONSENSUS.

Game 555.

5:05 pm pst.

Houston, which is riding a three-game win and cover streak, take the NBA's top-scoring offense (120.1 PPG) on the road and face its worst defense (30th, 122.4 PPG allowed). The road team is 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in this series. The Rockets are 15-7-1 ATS the last 23 vs. the West. The Pelicans are 3-12 ATS the last 15 at home. Take Houston. Thank you.

Take UCI.

This is my HR.

Game 655.

5:00 pm pst.

UCI should be a small favorite here. They return some very strong talent from a team that won their conference Tourney a season ago and took down K State in Rd 1 of the Big Dance. The Anteaters are 10-3-1 ATS the L14 overall. The Waves are 2-5 ATS the L7 vs. the Big West. Take UCI. Thank you.

Take Tulsa.

This is my CONSENSUS.

Game 657.

5:00 pm pst.

Tulsa took last season's meeting by 14-points and are a 1.5-pt 'dog here. The play in a much tougher conference and when they step out, they get us paid as they are 6-2 ATS the L8 nonconference games. The Mavericks are 2-6 ATS the L8nonconference games. Take the Golden Hurricanes. Thank you.

Take ISU.

This is my SD play.

Game 635.

1:30 pm pst.

ISU is a solid team that took the BIG 12 Tourney last season. The Cyclones have a talented squad that can do both, score and rebound. Giving them any points here is a mistake. They are 7-3-1 ATS the L11 nonconference games while the Beavers are 2-6 ATS the L8 at home. take Iowa State. Thank you.

Take SD State.

This is my MM.

Game 659.

4:00 pm pst.

SD State took last year's meeting with Yoeli Childs (suspended) on the floor for BYU. Look for Malachi Flynn to light up the scoreboard from downtown. The Aztecs are 4-1 ATS the L5 vs. the WCC and 9-4 ATS the L13 overall. Take San Diego State. Thank you.

Take Atlanta.

This is my NBA FAST BREAK PLAY.

Game 562.

4:35 pm pst.

Both teams played last night as Chicago had an exhausting outing in a 118-112 loss to LA and will be playing their fifth game in eight days, while Atlanta took down SA, 108-100. The Bulls are one of the NBA's worst rebounding teams (29th O, 30th D) and will not have too many second chance opportunities as they face the 6th ranked defense (103.7 PPG) in the League. Chicago is 1-5 ATS the L6 on the road, 1-8 ATS the L9 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 4-11 ATS the L15 overall. Atlanta is 10-4 ATS the L14 at home, 11-5 ATS the L16 vs. the Eastern Conference, and 21-9 ATS the L30 overall. Take the Hawks. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 549.

5:05 pm pst.

Since the Lakers opened the season with a loss to cross town rivals, the Clippers, they have rattled off five consecutive wins and covers. This is a team playing stifling defense (3rd, 99.3 PPG allowed), while LeBron James leads an offense of standouts with Bradley and Davis. Not to mention significant points and rebounds from Dwight Howard. Chicago is 2-5 both SU and ATS with losses to such lackluster teams as Charlotte, New York, and Cleveland. The Bulls just can't get it together offensively, ranking near the bottom in every major category. LA is 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in this series (2-0 LY), 5-0 ATS the last five on one days rest, and 13-3 ATS the last 16 overall. Chicago is 6-20 ATS the last 26 at home, 5-14-2 ATS the last 21 vs. the NBA Pacific, and 2-8 ATS the last 10 overall. Take the Lakers. Thank you.

Take St. Bonny.

This is my MVP.

Game 628.

4:30 pm pst.

We see a high ranked A-10 team host the worst team in the MAC East here. The Bonnies are one of the conference's best defensive teams and return a ton of talent. The Bobcats are one of the nation's youngest teams with seven true or RS frosh. Ohio is 7-21-1 ATS the L29 on the road, 1-4 ATS the L5 nonconference, and 0-4 ATS the L4 vs. the A-10. Take St. Bonaventure. Thank you.

Take Michigan.

This is my CRUSHER.

Game 608.

4:00 pm pst.

Michigan, a 30-game winner a season ago, enters this season unranked and with something to prove. They return three key starters in Simpson, Teske, and Livers. Once again, the Wolverines will be a defensive force. Appalachian State does not have the horses to compete here. Michigan is 5-1 ATS the last six at home. Take the Wolverines. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my MMM.

Game 532.

4:35 pm pst.

The home team took both meetings SU a season ago with the Nets covering both. Both have started the season slowly as both are waiting for stars to get healthy. However, at this point, Brooklyn is further along with Kyrie Irving. The standout Guard, has lit up New Orleans, averaging over 33.3 PPG the last four seasons against them. The Pelicans, which rank 29th defensively (122.5 PPG allowed) will not be able to contain Irving and the League's 3rd ranked scoring offense (118.8 PPG) with the #1 3-point shooting team in basketball (40.3%). New Orleans is 0-7 ATS the last seven vs. the Eastern Conference and 6-16 ATS the last22 overall. Brooklyn is 7-1 ATS the last eight vs. the NBA SW and 13-5 ATS the last 18 vs. the Western Conference. Take the Nets. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my TEN DIMES MOVE.

Game 563.

6:35 pm pst.

New Orleans, at 0-4 (1-3 ATS) won't be any good at least until Zion Williamson is in the lineup. Denver is a very good team. They are 2-0, both SU and ATS on the road thus far and have a big edge in matchups here. The Pelicans are 2-11 ATS the last 13 at home. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Take Atlanta.

This is my FAST BREAK play.

Game 562.

4:05 pm pst.

Quick turnaround from Tuesday's meeting in Miami, in which the Heat prevailed, 112-97. The Hawks took three of four last season SU and all four ATS. Atlanta will bounce back here as they are a solid home team, going 4-1 ATS the last five at the State Farm arena. The Heat are 1-3-1 ATS the last five on the road. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

Take LAC.

This is my BB play.

Game 557.

7:05 pm pst.

This is a matchup that Kawhi Leonard will be on the floor for. LA, the preseason favorite to win the NBA Championship, might meet Utah in the postseason. Therefore, they are going to play hard here. The Jazz have gotten the better of the Clippers, winning five of the last six both SU and ATS. Things will change tonight. Utah is all about the defense. The offense is averaging a mere, 98.8 PPG. LA ranks 3rd in scoring (121.5 PPG), 1st in FG% (52.0%) and 1st in 3-pt% (40.6%). Even if the Jazz can slow down the Clippers "O", still don't see them keeping pace offensively. The road team is 10-4 ATS the last1 4 meetings in this series. Take the Clippers. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my ODDSMAKERS MISTAKE PLAY.

Game 536.

6;00 pm pst.

This game should be closer to a DD point spread as Denver (3-0 Su, 2-1 ATS) took all three matchups a season ago (2-1 ATS) Dallas is horrible from the outside and must rely on their inside game. This doesn't bode well as they face a top-five "D" in every major category. Take the Nuggets. Thank you.

Take Atlanta.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 533.

4:35 pm pst.

Jimmy Butler is slated to make his season debut here for Miami. However, Atlanta, which is 3-0 ATS this season, covered all four meetings in this series last season. The Hawks are a very tough defensive team and a rusty, Butler and company will find that out the hard way tonight. The Heat were 8-20-1 ATS as a home fav last year. The Hawks are 10-2 ATS the last 12 on the road, 4-1 ATS the last five vs. the Eastern Conference, and 20-7 ATS the last 27 overall. Take Atlanta. Thank you.

Take Utah.

This is my ATR play.

Game 527.

7:05 pm pst.

Utah won and covered all four meetings in this series a season ago, by the average margin of victory coming by 24.7 PPG. Granted, Phoenix is off to a 2-1 start, but the Suns are all offense and no defense. Well, they are facing the NBA's toughest defense here (#1, 90.3 PPG allowed). Please remember the Jazz are a highly touted team while the Suns rank dead last in the League. Utah is 5-0 ATS the last five meetings in this series, 5-2 ATS the last seven at the Suns, 11-4 ATS the last 15 on one days rest, and 12-4 ATS the last 16 vs. the NBA Pacific. Take the Jazz. Thank you.

Take Denver.

This is my FB play.
Game 529.

7:05 pm pst.

2-0 Denver takes on 0-3 (both SU and ATS) Sacramento here. The Nuggets have dominated the series, taking four in a row and eight of the last nine SU, going 7-2 ATS. The Kings rank at or near the bottom on both sides of the court. I feel this matchup, they will have a ton of problems on the defensive side. Just can't see them slowing down the best 3-pt shooting team in the NBA (42.4%). The Nuggets are 10-4 ATS the last 14 at the Kings. The Kings are 1-4 ATS the last five at home, 3-13 ATS the last 16 vs. the West, 1-5 ATS the last six on one days rest, and 0-6 ATS the last six overall. Take Denver. Thank you.

Take New Orleans.

This is my CTB play.

Game 520.

5:05 pm pst.

Although both teams are winless, and both are missing top players, New Orleans is further along. The Pelicans went to OT at the Raptors and hung in tight at the Rockets. The Warriors haven't covered an outing yet, losing by an average of 2.35 PPG. look for the more potent offense of New Orleans to make a statement here. Golden State is 2-6 ATS the last seven at New Orleans, 2-6 ATS the last eight vs. the NBA Southwest, and 0-5-1 ATS the last six overall. Take New Orleans. Thank you.

Take LAC.

This is my LVSM.

Game 569.

7:05 pm pst.

The NBA's highest touted team takes on its lowest in this matchup. LA, which is 2-0 both SU and ATS, had a day off to rest and prepare. Phoenix played an exhausting OT game last night in Denver and will be tired here. Paul George (out) does not need to be in the lineup tonight, because Kawhi Leonard is. The Clippers are the #1 scoring team (126..5 PPG) and the #1 shooting team, hitting 57.1% from the floor. LA is 7-1 ATS the last eight meetings in this series. Take the CLIPPERS. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my TIP OFF WINNER.

Game 516.

4:35 pm pst.

Brooklyn's, Kyrie Irving has plenty of support while Minnesota didn't really have any luck bringing in any major talent. The Nets have to come out strong and make a statement to the rest of the teams in the East. The home team is 6-1 ATS the last seven meetings in this series. Brooklyn is 4-0 ATS the last four vs. the West. Minnesota is 2-8 ATS the last 10 vs. the East. Take the Nets. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my NBA FINALS GAME 2 WINNER.

Game 523.

5:07 pm pst.

Look for Golden State to come out here and even the series up before going home for Game 3. The superior back court of Curry and Thompson will once again dominate Green and Lowry while the Golden State defense steps up. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS the last eight on two days rest and 12-5 ATS the last 17 following an ATS loss. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my NBA FINALS GOY.

Game 521.

6:07 pm pst.

I know that Toronto won both regular season meetings (1-1 ATS) against Golden State, but so does the Warriors, and the postseason is a whole different monster. Golden State is not playing host here and can not afford to give away Game 1 or give Toronto any confidence. The Warriors played two less playoffs games and have had five extra days to rest and prepare for the NBA Finals. The backcourt of Danny Green and Kyle Lowry are no match for Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. The success of Toronto lives and dies with Kawhi Leaonard. Don't forget how frustrating of a defense Golden State has. The Raptors are 1-8 ATS the last nine playing on three or more days rest. Take the Warriors. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my ECF BUCKS/RAPTORS GAME 4 WINNER.

Game 503.

5:35 pm pst.

Milwaukee took Games 1 and 2, but lost Game 3 on Sunday. Both, Middleton and Bledsoe were way down from their playoff numbers. Expect the pair to explode here in Game 4. The Bucks are one of the NBA's best bounce-back teams going 21-5 ATS the last 26 following a SU loss. Toronto is 1-4 ATS the last five Conference Finals, 2-7 ATS the last nine vs. the NBA Central, and 1-4 ATS the last five overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.  

Take Milwaukee.

This is my ECF BUCKS/RAPTORS GAME 3 WINNER.

Game 549.

4:05 pm pst.

The Milwaukee Bucks are just too strong for the Toronto Raptors. They have taken Games 1 and 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals (both covers) and six of the last seven meetings this season, both SU and ATS. This is one of the best road team's in the NBA with 31-14 SU and 28-15-2 ATS records as a visitor . BTW, they are a perfect, 4-0 (SU and ATS) this postseason and an overall, 10-1 SU and ATS in the 2019 playoffs. Toronto has failed to cover four straight and is just 6-8 ATS this playoff campaign. Kawhi Leonard is the only Raptor playing consistent basketball. Milwaukee is 6-0 ATS the last six vs. the NBA Central, 20-6-1 ATS the last 27 on the road, and 41-18-2 ATS the last 61 overall. Toronto is 1-4 ATS the last five following an ATS loss, 1-7 ATS the last eight vs. the NBA Central, and 0-4 ATS the last four Conference Finals. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Today is PAYDAY in the NBA as I have the WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS WARRIORS/BLAZERS GAME 3 WINNER.

Take Golden State.

This is my WCF GAME 3 WINNER.

Game 547.

6:05 pm pst.

Golden State took Games 1 and 2 at home and now hit the Moda Center getting 2.5 points. The backcourt of Lillard and McCollum are good, but they are just no match for Curry and Thompson. The Warriors are 5-2 ATS the last seven vs. the NBA Northwest and 11-5 ATS the last 16 Conference Final games. The Trailblazers are 1-3 ATS the last four at home and 1-4 ATS the last five following an ATS win. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my NBA ECF GAME 2 WINNER.

Game 546.

5:35 pm pst.

Milwaukee trailed for most of Game 1, only to outscore Toronto by 15 points in the final 12 minutes to earn the win and cover. The Bucks will want to come out of the gate here and take control and take a 2-0 series lead. This is one of the NBA's best home teams, recording 38-9 SU and 28-17-2 ATS marks. They have taken five of the last six meetings over the Raptors, both SU and ATS. Toronto is 1-6 ATS the last seven vs. the NBA Central and 2-5 ATS the last seven overall. Milwaukee id 5-0 ATS the last five vs. the NBA Atlantic and 5-1 ATS the last six at home. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

This is my WCF GAME 2 WINNER.

Game 544.

6:00 pm pst.

Golden State took Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals with authority, thumping Portland, 116-94. The difference in this series is in the back court. While McCollum and Lillard are good, they are simply just no match for Curry and Thompson, who combined for 62 points, 10 assists, and seven rebounds in Game 1. The Trailblazers are 9-23 ATS the last 32 games played at the Warriors and 1-4 ATS the last five games played on one days rest. The Warriors are 5-1 ATS the last six games played vs. the NBA Southwest and 11-4 ATS the last 15 Conference Finals. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

This is my ECF GAME 1 WINNER.

Game 532.

5:30 pm pst.

Milwaukee dispatched of both, Detroit and Boston in nine games, covering all eight victories this post-season. It took Toronto a total of 12 contests to oust Orlando and Philadelphia, going a tough seven games vs. the 76ers (6-6 ATS). During the regular season, the Bucks won three of the four meetings with the Raptors, going 3-1 ATS as superstar, Guannis Antetokounmpo averages 27.0 PPG and 15.3 RPG in the four meetings. Milwaukee is money at home at 37-9 SU and 27-17-2 ATS in 2019. The Bucks are 4-0 ATS the last four vs. the NBA Atlantic, 4-1 ATS the last five at home, and 39-18-2 ATS the last 59 overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

5:30 pm pst.

Even without Kevin Durant, Golden State is loaded with talent. This matchup is all about the back court. McCollum and Lillard are good, but they are no match for Curry and Thompson. The Warriors will take no chances here in game 1 and notch a big win and cover. The Trailblazers are 9-22 ATS the last 31 games played at the Warriors. The Warriors are 10-4 ATS the last 14 Conference Finals games. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

After Golden State took Games 1 and 2, Houston returned home to win Game 3. The Rockets outplayed the Warriors and still just eked by for the OT win. Golden State doesn't take to well to losing and are one of the best teams in the NBA at bouncing back. Steph Curry missed a slam dunk in the final stretch in the loss that would have changed the dynamics completely and possibly the outcome. So you can be sure the perennial all-star makes a statement here. The Rockets are 0-4 ATS the last four games played on one days rest. The Warriors are 4-0 ATS the last four games played following a SU loss. Take Golden State. Thank you.  

Take Milwaukee.

After being embarrassed in Game 1, Milwaukee took Games 2 and 3 with authority. The Bucks are one of the NBA's most successful road teams at 30-14 SU and 27-15-2 ATS this season. The bench has been superb outplaying their counterpart this series. This team is 6-1 both SU and ATS this post-season. The road team is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series. The Celtics are 3-12-1 ATS the last 16 games played at home and 0-4-1 ATS the last five game played on two days rest. The Bucks are 38-17-3 ATS the last 58 games played vs. the Eastern Conference and 37-18-2 ATS the last 57 games played overall. Take Milwaukee. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

5:00 pm pst.

Toronto's bench combined for just five points in Game 2, resulting in a loss and tying this series at one game apiece. However, the Raptors defense has been outstanding, not allowing an opponent to reach the century mark in all six post-season games. Expect the Toronto bench to bounce back strong here as the team is 4-2 ATS in the six meetings with Philly this season, 21-8 ATS the last 29 overall games vs. Philly, 6-2 ATS the last eight game played on the road, and 10-4 ATS the last 14 games played overall. Take the Raptors. Thank you.

Take Boston.

5:05 pm pst.

Boston, with the NBA's 8th ranked defense held Milwaukee to their lowest points output in nearly three months in Sunday's, 112-90, Game 1 win. The Celtics will come back out here and once again frustrate Gianis Antetokounmpo. Boston has covered four of the five meetings with Milwaukee this season and enters Game 2, covering eight of their last nine overall outings. The Celtics are 10-3 ATS the last 13 games played at the Bucks. take Boston. Thank you.

Take Toronto.

5:00 pm pst.

Despite having six players score DD's in Game 1, Philadelphia still lost, 108.95. The 76ers defense was overwhelmed, allowing the Raptors to hit 51.9% from the floor. The Philly frontcourt will once again be overmatched as Kawhi Leonard, Pascal Siakam, and Marc Gasol will flex their muscles here. Toronto is red-hot, riding a franchise-best, five-game postseason win streak and are at home here in Game 2, where they have covered five straight meetings against Philly. The Raptors are 5-1 ATS the last six games played at home, 4-0 ATS the last four games played on one days rest, and 35-16 ATS the last 51 games played vs. the NBA Atlantic. Take Toronto. Thank you.

Take Houston.

12:35 pm pst.

Houston won and covered three of the four meetings with Golden State this season, with the only loss and no cover coming by two points. The Warriors eked by the Rockets in last year's Western Conference Finals, 4-3. But these are two different teams right now. Golden State needed six games to dispatch of 8th seeded LA, while Houston only needed five games to oust a tough, Utah squad. The Rockets are a healthy team while the Warriors are not. DeMarcus Cousins is out and both, Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are listed as questionable with ankle issues. Don't fool yourself, both will play here today, but how healthy they are is another question. The road team is 4-1 ATS the last five meetings in this series. Houston is 4-0 ATS the last four game played vs. the NBA Pacific, 9-3-1 ATS the last 13 games played vs. Western Conference foes, and 9-3-1 ATS the last 12 games played overall. Golden State is 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. the NBA Southwest, 10-22-1 ATS the last 33 games played at home, and 4-6 ATS the last 10 games played overall. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

7:00 pm pst.

When it comes to Game 7's playoff savvy and experience is key. No other NBA coach or team has as much post-season experience than Gregg Poppovich and the San Antonio Spurs. This matchup is going to come down to the wire, therefore we must take six points with a Spurs team that is 16-7 ATS the last 23 meetings at the Pepsi Center. The Nuggets are 9-20 ATS the last 29 vs. the NBA Southwest and 4-11 ATS the last 15 on one days rest. Take San Antonio. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

7:05 pm pst

Golden State took another embarrassing loss at the hands of Los Angeles in Game 5. The series is now 3-2. The last loss, a Game 2, 135-131, self destruction after being up 31 points, the Warriors bounced back o blow up the Clippers by 27 points in a game 3 win and cover. Golden State is a team that does not take losing lightly. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that they can not let LA even up this series. The Road Team is 11-4 ATS the last 15 meetings in this series. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS the last eight games played at the Clippers and 8-3 ATS the last 11 games played on one days rest. Take Golden State. Thank you.

Take Portland.

7:30 pm pst.

Portland is one of the best home teams in the NBA, donning a 34-9 SU mark and going 26-16-1 ATS The Blazers have covered three of the four meetings in this series, including both games played at the Moda Center. Oklahoma City has had problems with the frustrating, Portland defense, as they were held to 99 points or less in their three defeats. The Thunder are 1-4 ATS the last five road games, 2-5 ATS the last seven games played on one days rest, and 5-16 ATS the last 21 games played vs. the Western Conference. The Blazers are 43-21-1 ATS the last 65 games played at home, 21-8 the last 29 games played on one days rest, and 4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the Western Conference. Take Portland. Thank you.

Take Houston.

7:35 pm pst.

Houston has won and covered Games 1, 2, and 3 of this series and actually have taken five straight over Utah (both SU and ATS), going back to December. BTW, the average margin of victory in this series is 18.3 PPG. James Harden had a rare, poor performance in Game 3, finishing 3-of-20 from the floor. Expect the superstar to bounce back with a stellar outing today and put the Jazz away. The Road team is 7-3-1 ATS the last 11 meetings in this series. Houston is 6-1 ATS the last seven in Utah, 9-1-1 ATS the last 11 vs. the Western Conference, and 12-3-1 ATS the last 16 overall. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Take Portland.

6:35 pm pst.

After dropping Games 1 and 2, Oklahoma City took Game 3 of this series on Friday. The Thunder will come back down to Earth and to reality here. CJ McCollum is 100% healthy, and giving the Trailblazers six points is a mistake. They can not and will not allow this series to be tied. Portland is 20-8 ATS the last 28 games played on one days rest. Oklahoma City is 5-15 ATS the last 20 games played vs. Western Conference foes. Take the Trailblazers. Thank you.

Take Orlando.

4:05 pm pst.

Toronto leads this series, 2-1. But I don't expect Orlando to drop back-to-back home games. Especially with the tougher "D" and superior rebounding corps. The Raptors are 0-4 ATS the last four games played at the Magic and 5-11 ATS the last 16 games played vs. the NBA Southeast. The Magic are 4-0 ATS the last four games played at home and 6-1 ATS the last seven games played overall. Take Orlando. Thank you.

I have won 5 straight NBA releases en route to a 19-6 overall run. Today, I keep winning in the NBA Playoffs as I have the WARRIORS/CLIPPERS GAME 4 WINNER. Get on my HOT STREAK and get paid.

Take Boston.

10:05 am pst.

Boston leads Indiana, 3-0 and wants to put this series away here and get some extra rest and prep time before the next round. Without Victor Oladipo, the Pacers just can not compete with the seasoned playoffs, Celtics. Boston is 4-0 ATS the last four games played on the road, 4-1 ATS the last five games played on one days rest, and 5-2 ATS the last seven games played at Indiana. Indiana is 1-4 ATS the last five games played at home, 5-11 ATS the last 16 games played on one days rest, and 0-4-1 ATS the last five games played vs. the NBA Atlantic. Take the Celtics. Thank you.  

Take Houston.

7:35 pm pst.

Houston took games 1 and 2 of this series by an average of 26.0 PPG. They have won and covered the last four overall meetings with Utah and are 5-1 ATS the last six games played in Salt Lake City. The Jazz, which are known for defense, just can not stop, or even slow down, the Rockets offense. Houston has held their Western Conference rival to 98 or less points in four straight matchups. The Rockets will come out here to annihilate the Jazz, as to not give them and confidence at home. Utah is 2-5 ATS the last seven games played on two days rest and 1-4 ATS the last five games played vs. the NBA Southwest. Houston is 4-0 ATS the last four games played on two days rest and 8-1 ATS the last nine games played for Western Conference foes. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Take Boston.

5:35  PM pst.

Boston has won and covered Games 1 and 2 of this series to now extend their domination of Indiana to five straight meetings (4-1 ATS), the last four in a 20-day span. Without Victor Oladipo (knee), the Pacers just can't compete in this matchup. The Celtics have out-rebounded the Pacers, 103-78 in this series and are 4-1 ATS the last five games played on the road. Take Boston. Thank you.

Take Golden State.

7:30 pm pst.

Golden State will come out to make a statement. The Warriors made history on Thursday as they gave up a 31-point lead to lose, 135-131 to Brooklyn in Game 2. Yes, Steph Curry got into foul trouble. And yes, DeMarcus Cousins left the game early with a quad injury. Still, the Warriors were humiliated. Cousins is out indefinitely. But, Andrew Bogut will step in without missing a beat. Look for the NBA's 2nd ranked scoring offense to shred the League's 25th ranked defense. The Road Team is 9-3 ATS the last 12 meetings in this series. Golden State is 5-1 ATS the last six games played at LA and 5-1 ATS the last six games played following a SU loss. Los Angeles is 0-5 is 0-5 ATS the last five games played on two days rest and 1-5 ATS the last six games played overall. Take the Warriors. Thank you.

Take Houston.

6:35 pm pst.

Utah could not stop Houston from outside in Game 1, as the Rockets hit 15 shots from beyond the arc, en route to a 122-90 rout. The victory gave Houston their third straight win and cover over Utah. The Rockets must win here as they need to go up 2-0 in the series before heading to Salt Lake City for Game 3. Houston is 7-0 ATS the last seven at home, 7-1-1 ATS the last nine vs. the Western Conference, and 7-1 ATS the last eight overall. Take the Rockets. Thank you.

Take Milwaukee.

5:05 pm pst.

Milwaukee decimated Detroit in Game 1, 121-86. The absence of Blake Griffin proved to be fatal for the Pistons. The Forward is listed as questionable (as of print) for Game 2, but word is that his knee injury is a bit more serious than earlier reports. The Bucks had seven players score DD's in the opener, while dominating in the paint, 52-38. The Pistons rank 25th in scoring and are no match for the NBA's #1 scoring offense. Detroit is 0-4 ATS the last four vs. the NBA Central and 1-6 ATS the last seven overall. Milwaukee is 14-3 ATS the last 17 vs. the NBA Central and 5-0 ATS the last five vs. Detroit. Take the Bucks. Thank you.

Take San Antonio.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

game 533.

6:05 pm pst.

There is no coach in the NBA with more post-season experience or savvy than Gregg Popovich. The Spurs won Game 1, 101-96 as a 5.5-point underdog and are now getting 7 points in today's Game 2 matchup. Both teams are known for their defenses, however, San Antonio shoots better for the floor (2nd, 47.8%), beyond the arc (1st, 39.2%), and from the line (1st, 81.9%), and this will be the difference here. The Road Team is 29-13 ATS the L42 meetings in this series. The Spurs are 22-8 ATS the L30 at the Nuggets. The Nuggets are 0-8 ATS the L8 Conference Quarter Final games. Take San Antonio. Thank you.

Take Orlando.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 531.

5:05 pm pst.

Orlando took game 1 of this series, 104-101 as a 9.5-point underdog. They enter Game 2 as a 10-point 'dog. This is a team that has covered 4 of 5 meetings with Toronto this season. The Magic are a solid road team, going 23-19 ATS while the Raptors are just 18-24 ATS as a host this season. Orlando and their 5th ranked defense (106.6 PPG allowed) owns the superior back court that will once again control the tempo. The Magic are 16-4-1 ATS the L21 vs. the NBA Atlantic, 5-0 ATS the L5 on 2 days rest, and 4-1 ATS the L5 on the road. Take Orlando. Thank you.

Take Los Angeles.

This is my SLAM DUNK.

Game 523.

7:30 pm pst.

In Game 1, the Los Angeles starting five combined for a miserable, 12-of-44 shooting performance from the field, and yet they almost covered. Giving the Clippers 13.5 points again is a mistake as coach, Doc Rivers will make sure to have his squad prepped and competitive here. This is a team that owns a 23-18-1 ATS mark on the road this season. Golden State tends to have their lines "inflated." The Warriors were just 17-24-1 ATS at home this season. The Road team is 8-3 ATS the L11 meetings in this series. LA is 21-8 ATS the L29 games played vs. the NBA Pacific. Golden State is 6-14 ATS the L20 games played following a SU win. Take the Clippers. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my POWERHOUSE.

Game 521.

5:00 pm pst.

Brooklyn matches up well with Philadelphia, as proven in Game 1's, 111-102 outright win. Joel Embiid put up solid numbers but clearly looked rusty. The Nets back court and bench will once again show their superiority tonight. Giving this team 8 points is a gift. Brooklyn has covered 4 of the 5 meetings with Philly this season. They are 7-1 ATS the L8 games played on the road, 4-0 ATS the L4 games played vs. the Eastern Conference, and 8-2 ATS the L10 Conference Quarter Final games. Philadelphia is 2-5 ATS the L7 games played at home, 3-7 ATS the L10 game splayed vs. the Eastern Conference, and 2-5 ATS the L7 games played overall. Take the Nets. Thank you.

Take Oklahoma City.

This is my BEST BET play.

Game 513.

12:30 pm pst.

Oklahoma City has won and covered all 4 meetings with Portland this season. The Thunder enter the post-season red-hot, having won 5 straight and missing all 5 covers by just 1 point. Paul George shredded the Blazers this season, averaging 38.0 PPG and 10.5 RPG. Portland Guard, CJ McCollum missed 10 games late in the season with a knee injury, then played a little more than half the minutes in 2 outing, then sat in the final regular season game. His health is in question and even more, perhaps some rust. The Trail Blazers are 7-24-2 ATS the L33 Conference QF games and 1-4 ATS the L5 vs. the NBA Northwest. Take the Thunder. Thank you.

Take Brooklyn.

This is my BEST BET.

Game 501.

11:30 am pst.

Brooklyn finished the regular season with 3 straight wins and covers and have covered 3 of the 4 meetings this season with Philadelphia. The Nets were also money on the road in 2019, donning a 25-16 ATS away record. The 76ers are most likely once again without star Forward, Joel Embiid (doubtful, knee) which is going to be fatal. This is a team that is 6-15 ATS the L21 vs. the NBA Atlantic. Brooklyn is 10-4 ATS the L14 vs. the NBA Atlantic, 6-1 ATS the L7 on the road, and 8-3 ATS the L11 overall. Take the Nets. Thank you.

Take Texas Tech.

Game 811.

6:20 pm pst.

The National Championship game puts together two of the best scoring defenses in the nation (Virginia #1 at 55.5 PPG; Texas Tech #3 at 58.8 PPG) and two of the toughest in FG% (Red Raiders 1st at 36.8%; Cavaliers 5th at 38.4%). Virginia (2-3 ATS in the NCAA Tournament) couldn't cover against Gardner Webb, got a 1.5-pt cover against Oklahoma, failed to cover vs. Oregon, needed OT to eke by Purdue for a 1-pt cover, then needed three FT's with just seconds left to squeeze by Auburn to get a 1-pt win and no cover on Saturday. Texas Tech covered all five Big Dance contests, thumping Northern Kentucky by 15, Buffalo by 20, Michigan by 19, Gonzaga by six, and Michigan State by 10, winning the last three as an underdog. Remember, the Bulls and the Bulldogs are two of the highest scoring offenses in college basketball. Both of these squads possess slow-paced offenses that revolve around stellar backcourts. The Cavaliers trio of Guards, Guy, Hunter, and Jerome (43.6 PPG; 13.7 RPG combined) are talented, but haven't faced a backcourt the caliber of the Red Raiders trifecta of Guards, Culver, Moretti, and Mooney (41.3 PPG; 11.5 RPG combined). Both team's top-scorers (Virginia's, Kyle Guy and Texas Tech's, Jarrett Culver) have had some issues shooting in the Tournament, and yet, both teams have advanced. The Cavaliers "O" has been erratic in recent weeks and their biggest weapon, shooting from downtown, has been off, as the team hasn't hit better than 36% from beyond the arc over the last six outings. Not to take anything away from this team, but they just haven't dominated in Tournament play, despite facing the #16, #9, #12, #3, and #5 seeds. The Red Raiders have in fact dominated their opposition in the Tournament, besting seeds of #14, #6, #2, #1, and #2. Virginia's three losses this season came against Duke twice and Florida State, which are the lengthiest, smartest, and most athletic teams they've faced...just like Texas Tech is. The Red Raiders are 14-3 ATS the last 17 overall games. The Cavaliers are 2-7 ATS the last nine NCAA Tournament games. Take Texas Tech. Thank you.
