TCU -2

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

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Grizzlies +2

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

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Warriors -1.5

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

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Rockets +6.5

Sunday at 7 p.m. ET, the Rockets (25-31, 29-26-1 ATS) meet the Thunder (39-17, 35-21 ATS) at the Toyota Center. Rockets lead the season series 1-0, winning 110-101 on Dec. 6. Rockets won 114-110 against Suns last game out, covering in 3 consecutive home games. Thunder beat Wizards 147-106, they're only 5-6 ATS in last 11. Houston has been sneaky tough and they’re proving it once again as they come in with momentum after taking down the Suns. Houston had 6 different players score 14 or more which includes Smith and VanVleet both scoring over 20 in the win. Thats been the theme to success for the Rockets as they have used their depth and got production all around this year when they’re playing their best. The Rockets have gone 2-2 over their last 4 with the other win coming over the Knicks. They have played very well at times against the top teams in the NBA and should matchup well with OKC. The Thunder will be in a bit of a trap spot here too. After a string of tough games this month and then blowing out lowly Washington, they have to come into a home and home with Houston. The Rockets play with such physicality they can wear teams down with their paint play. The Thunder will have their hands full and struggle with the Rockets ability on the defensive end. Houston only concedes around 112 ppg and will not allow these Thunder shooters to get open. Trends, OKC are 2-5 ATS L7 vs. HOU, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. HOU. OKC are also 0-5 ATS L5 on the road in Houston. For HOU they're 4-1 ATS L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Ohio State +10

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

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

Washington State -5.5

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

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Auburn -7

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

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Arizona -15

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

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Lakers -9.5

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

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Youngstown State -2.5

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

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cavs -3.5

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

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

GSW -5.5

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

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Bulls +9.5

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

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Minnesota -3.5

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

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State +2.5

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

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

Rams +7.5

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

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Miami +5.5

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

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Creighton +3.5

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

CMU -1.5

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

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Virginia +3.5

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

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

NC State +7.5

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

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Auburn -8.5

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

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Vikings +3

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

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Utah +2

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

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Warriors -1.5

Thursday night the last night before the NBA All Star break. 3 games on the schedule. We're diving into the GS Warriors (26-26, 28-24 ATS, 12-12 AWAY) taking on the Utah Jazz (26-29, 31-24 ATS, 17-9 HOME). Warriors are #6 PPG at 119.3 and 21st on D at 117 PPG. The Jazz are 11th 117 PPG, and on D they're 25th at 120 PPG.The Jazz are reeling into the all star break and they’re going to get another tough task here from Golden State. The Jazz were dominated in every which way by the Lakers last night and now have to take on a Golden State team that is looking for their 6th win in 7 games. The Warriors have found a groove and despite falling short to the Clippers last night, they still have plenty of momentum coming into play. Golden State has been much better defensively. While they struggled against a good Clippers team, prior to that they had not allowed more than 112 points in their win streak. One of those games was a 22 point win over this Jazz team where they held Utah to just 107 points. Golden State has found their swagger a bit more as they’re getting contributions from many different players now. It’s Curry being the spark plug, but the support cast is stepping up now and it’s led them back to the .500 mark. Look for the Jazz to struggle with the speed and pressure the Warriors have been playing with lately. Golden State will have all the motivation here as they know they can still finish the first half of the season above .500 despite playing poorly early on.  The Warriors are the better team in this spot. Trends, GSW are 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. Utah and 8-2 SU L10 vs. UT. Lastly, they're 4-1 ATS L5 vs. NORTHWEST teams. Flip it, and the Jazz are 2-6 ATS L8, 2-6 L8 SU, and 1-6 ATS L7 vs. PACIFIC div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Northeastern +4.5

College Of Charleston (18-7, 10-14 ATS, 6-2 AWAY) take on Northeastern (10-15, 13-12 ATS, 5-4 HOME) on Thursday night at 7pm ET. We’re backing Northeastern here, with the points as they take on College of Charleston on Thursday. Northeastern is in the midst of some of their best basketball coming in on a two game winning streak. They’ve taken down Campbell and Monmouth, both by double digits, as offensively they’ve found a nice groove. They dropped 86 and 77 in the wins and they have a ton of momentum heading into this top matchup with Charleston. Northeastern has played their best basketball it seems at home and they are going to throw Charleston off a bit with their pace. They’ve typically been a slower team, but now they’ve found success the last couple of games with their speed. Charleston is going to overlook this game a bit too. They know Northeastern is in the bottom tier of the conference and with the season winding down, they’re going to come into this game a little flat given that. Look for Northeastern to really use that to their advantage and push the ball in transition on Charleston. Chris Doherty has been a huge catalyst for this Northeastern side and he comes in off a 19 point performance. He’ll be the spark in this one against Charleston’s defense, that has conceded 74.8 ppg in conference play. This is a trap spot and the home side has good value here given the recent play. Trends, C of C are 3-6 ATS L9 and 2-4 ATS L6 in FEB. Plus, they're 0-5-2 ATS in their L7 as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5. NE are 4-2 ATS L6 on Thursday's at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

Lakers +5.5

Tonight at 9pm ET from the Detla Center in Salt Lake City, UT we have the LA Lakers (30-26, 10-17 AWAY, 26-30 ATS) taking on the Jazz (26-28, 17-8 HOME, 9-20, 31-23 ATS). We’re on the Lakers here, grabbing the points in this matchup. Los Angeles will come in on the second night of a back to back with momentum after knocking around the Pistons on Tuesday night. It was a complete performance start to finish and now they play their final game until Feb 22nd. Meanwhile, the Jazz will have to deal with the Lakers and look ahead to tomorrow when they take on the Warriors. This isn’t the best spot for Utah and we’re getting a Lakers team seeking a bit of revenge from a tough loss to the Jazz earlier in January. The Lakers are playing some of their best basketball thus far, winning 5 of 6 in the month of February. They’ve been able to really find their offensive groove during this run, as the lowest they’ve totaled in the wins has been 113. They’ve also scored 124 points or more in 3 of those. James and Davis are getting huge help from the support cast. All 5 starters had double figures again against Detroit and they all had at least 15 points. The Lakers are moving the ball so well and they can find success against this Jazz defense. Utah has had its share of issues on the defensive end and we’re going to see a very motivated LA team on Wednesday night. Trends, Lakers are 4-2 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. Northwest teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play  

Grizzlies +2.5

Tonight at 8:10pm ET we have the Rockets (24-29, 27-24-2 ATS, 5-20 AWAY) taking on the Grizzlies (18-36, 25-29 ATS, 5-20 HOME). This one takes place in Memphis, TN at the FedExForum. Memphis is in a nice spot situationally here against the Rockets. Houston comes in off one of their more impressive wins of the season as they took down the Knicks thanks to a late foul on a three point attempt. This is certainly a spot where the Rockets may come in a little flat. Memphis hasn’t won in the month of February, but they’ve continued to battle and battle against good teams. They also catch the Rockets at a good time here. Houston has been battered by injury after injury over the last couple of months. They remain without reserve forward Tari Eason (leg) for an extended period and lost veteran guard Fred VanVleet (adductor) and rookie Cam Whitmore (ankle). They lack depth and that will be factor here against Memphis. The Grizzlies are going to push the tempo on Houston. The Rockets are very inconsistent offensively and they struggle in fast paced games. Memphis is a younger team and they will try to run in transition and get Houston on their heels in this one. After a big win like the Rockets had last time out, this is a prime let down spot against a physical and quick Memphis side. The Grizzlies are a young team, and they're learning how to play with the big stars. They're also desperate for a win. Desperate times call for desperate measures. This is a well coached team, and the Grizz have the right attitude all around. I'll gladly grab the points against a HOUSTON team that is terrible on the road and are the model of inconsistency. Trends, Rockets 1-4 SU L5, 4-9 SU L13 vs. MEM, 0-5 SU L5 on the road, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. MEM on the road. On the other side the GRIZZ are 8-4 ATS L12. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play

Bradley -14

8pm ET Wednesday when the UIC Flames (10-15, 3-7 AWAY, 11-13 ATS) visit the Bradley Braves (17-8, 10-3 HOME, 13-9-2 ATS) in a clash at Carver Arena, Peoria, Illinois I expect we'll see a nice little game. Both teams, injury-free, seek momentum after recent wins/losses. Bradley is a far better team and they are going to do what they did in this first matchup and run wild on UIC. Bradley took it to the Flames 77-59 at UIC earlier this year and that game perfectly represents how these two teams are. Bradley likes to get to up and down the floor and they can overwhelm teams at times. UIC has had its share of issues with the top teams in the conference and slowing them down. Bradley puts up 75.4 ppg and they’re going to come out with some aggression here after dropping 2 straight to fall back to 3rd in the conference. Like the first matchup, UIC just can’t keep up here. The Flames only average 69.2 ppg which is one of the worst marks in the conference. They have had issues against the top teams in the conference when it comes to finding their rhythm offensively. They’ve struggled to create open looks and this Bradley defense is one that doesn’t allow anybody easy at the rim. Look for Bradley to force some tough shots and create turnovers in this contest. Trends to consider, in their recent 14 games, UIC's ATS record stands at 3-11. They're 2-8 SU in 10 games and 1-7 SU against Bradley. Additionally, UIC is 1-6 ATS on the road and winless in their last 5 road games versus Bradley. Bradley are 11-3 SU L14, and are 7-1 SU L8 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Clemson -7

7pm tip off, Wednesday night from the Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, SC we have the Miami Hurricanes (15-9, 2-5 AWAY, 14-9-1 ATS) taking on the Clemson Tigers (16-7, 8-3 HOME, 13-10 ATS). We’re on Clemson as they’re in a very nice spot on Wednesday. They welcome in Miami, a team that has had a ton of issues on the road. Miami is about the most inconsistent team in the conference at times. They put up an amazing fight against UNC last time out that fell short, which came after a 38 point performance on the road prior to that game. They’ve been very mediocre away this season and Clemson seems to be a team that is finding their stride at the right time too. Clemson took down UNC and Syracuse, both on the road and now return home for a 2 game stretch where they can really make a push at the ACC. This is a revenge spot for them as they allowed 95 points in a 95-82 loss at Miami much earlier this season. This Canes team has regressed majorly since then, while Clemson is trending upward. The Tigers have been good offensively, putting up 79.0 ppg and they will come right at this Miami defense that has had many problems. Expect a lot of pace and pushing in transition, which is a huge weakness of Miami’s. We’re getting Clemson at the right time and they should impose their will on both ends of the floor. Trends, Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, plus, they're 4-2 ATS in their L6, 4-2 SU L6, and 19-1 SU L20 on Wednesday's at home. These two last played on 1/3/24 a 95-82 Miami win, this time however I see the ball going Clemson's way and advise you to give the points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Suns -4.5

SacTown (30-22, 27-25 ATS, 15-13 AWAY) take on the Suns (31-22, 21-30-2 ATS, 16-11 HOME) on Tuesday night. Tip off is at 10pm ET from the Footprint Center. Suns are looking to keep their 5-game win streak intact. Suns score 117.4 PPG (12th in NBA), allow 114.4 PPG (15th). Kings: 8th offensively (118.6 PPG), 22nd defensively (118.1 PPG allowed). Phoenix has value in this spot, at home. The Kings have hit a little bit of a snag here as of late. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 4 as their defensive efforts have been very sub par. In the 3 losses during this stretch, the Kings have given up 127, 133, and 136 points in those games. Things don’t get any easier for them against this Suns team that has won 3 of 4 themselves. Phoenix did drop their last game, but this team still playing at such a high level. It’s been the players around Durant and Booker that have stepped up and found a way to make a huge impact. Allen in particular has been one huge threat from the outside that has given this Suns team a boost. He hit 9 3-pointers in the Suns comeback win over the Kings last time these two met and he continues to produce a lot from behind the arc. Bradley Beal is another one who found a way to fit into this system. If the Suns can continue to get big production from them, then opposing teams are in a lot of trouble. The Kings defense is just too hard to trust in this spot. Sacramento is going to struggle once again with the speed and weapons the Suns have. Look for Phoenix to push the issue on them and get them in a hole early. Trends, Phoenix are 5-2 ATS in their L7, are 12-4 SU in their L16, plus they're 5-0 SU in their L5 at home, and lastly they're 6-1 SU in their last 7 games against an opponent in the West Conf. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Iowa State +1.5

IST (18-5, 16-7 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) takes on Cincinnati (15-8, 12-11 ATS, 12-3 HOME) Tuesday night at 7pm ET from the Fifth Third Arena in Cincinnati, OH. Iowa State has the value here in this matchup as they are at a nice price on Tuesday. The Cyclones are the better team here. Iowa State has feared no one this season and they continue to beat good teams, whether it’s home or away really. They’ve won 5 of 6 and were just inches away from winning all 6 had the half court heave not been after the buzzer at Baylor. They’ve taken down the likes of Kansas and TCU during this stretch as they’ve been able to really build a good resume for themselves. Their offense will get most of the recognition, given they score nearly 80 ppg. However, this team has been a force on the defensive end. Allowing just 62.1 ppg, the Cyclones have dominated on this end of the floor. They force turnovers, tough shots, and they’ve held the opposition to just 40% shooting from the field. They have the edge against the Bearcats here, who are a team that has struggled at times offensively this season. Iowa State is going to frustrate the Bearcats and force them into many difficult shots. Along with some turnovers, the Cyclones are going to get some good looks in transition. Cincinnati has had issues with teams that play at this caliber and this won’t be any different on Tuesday. Trends, IST 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 4-2 ATS L6 vs. CIN, plus they're 5-2 ATS L7 on the road. CIN are 3-6 SU L9, and 2-9 ATS L11 Tues games. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

KU +2.5

(19-5, 2-4 AWAY, 10-14 ATS) takes on the Red Raiders (17-6, 12-1 HOME, 10-12-1 ATS) on Monday night. 9pm ET tip off from United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock, TX. The Jayhawks have value here grabbing points on the road at Texas Tech. The Jayhawks have been one of those teams who continue to grind and find ways to win. They’ve beat number 13 Baylor and number 4 Houston in 2 of their last 3 games and now they have a chance to add to their resume with a ranked win on the road. They should get a huge boost too health wise. Saturday they were without former Red Raider, Kevin McCullar (19.5 ppg) and Jamari McDowell on Saturday and still managed a win. Both should’ve back here on Monday which helps this lineup tremendously. Tech has been so incredibly inconsistent and they needed to find a way to grind a win over UCF last time out to end a 3 game losing skid. They just haven’t been able to get the rhythm on offense, especially as of late. Kansas has been smothering defensively as they’ve picked up the pressure. They’re going to overwhelm Tech in this matchup and force a lot of turnovers from a team that’s been careless with the ball. Kansas is the better side and has the edge here. Trends, KU are 15-4 SU L19, 8-1 SU L9 vs. TT, and 11-2 SU L13 vs. TT on the road. On the other side Texas Tech are 1-4 ATS L5. Expect KU to take TT down on Monday night. They'll win outright by 3-5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

OKC -3

SacTown (30-21, 27-24 ATS, 15-12 AWAY) takes on OKC (35-17, 31-20-1 ATS, 20-6 HOME) on Super Bowl Sunday! Tip Off is 3pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC, OK. Oklahoma City will love the sight of returning home here as they take on the Kings. The Thunder were throttled in Dallas last night and this is one of those games where they will look to come out with some purpose. The Thunder have to be steamin' mad with the 2 road losses they have just suffered. Plus when you look at this history of this matchup SAC absolutely OWNS OKC. Winning 9 of the L10, and the L8. There's a serious case of revenge angles here. This is a different OKC team this year. They have an MVP candidate (SGA) and a new shiny toy in Chet Holmgren who is playing at the top of his game right now. They play some of their best basketball at home for starters. Coming into play they have won 10 of their last 11 here inside this building and they have beaten some top teams in the process. The Thunder energy level has been up for home games and they’re going to come out firing away after being demolished in their last few games. They take on a Kings defense that has its share of issues too. They come into play allowing nearly 118 ppg defensively. They constantly get beat in transition and allow a lot of open shooting lanes for the opposition. The Thunder are the perfect team to pick that apart. Expect a lot of quick transition buckets to go along with some open looks from behind the arc. They have the talent to match the speed of the Kings and with the home edge, they have value. Trends, OKC are 20-6 at home, and are 10-1 L11. Plus, Oklahoma City are 12-6 SU in their L18, 4-1 SU L5 on Sunday's. Lastly, The Thunder are 8-2 ATS in their L10 following a straight up loss 10+. I think this is a get right game in OKC this afternoon. You know what to do. Hop ON! Back the Thunder -3. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Louisiana -7

Bowling Green (16-7, 10-11 ATS, 4-3 AWAY) take on the ULL Cajuns (15-9, 12-10 ATS, 9-2 HOME) on Sunday. This one tips off at 3pm ET from the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA. We’re backing Louisiana here, laying the points at home on Sunday. Bowling Green’s record is a bit deceiving as they have struggled as of late. They’ve dropped 3 of their last 5 and their two wins have been to sub par teams out of the MAC. The Falcons are going to have their hands full with a Louisiana team that has played some of their best basketball as of late. The Ragin Cajuns had been on a tear, winning 7 in a row before they stumbled their last time out. Still, taking nothing away from this team as they have been impressive this season and they’ve done it on both ends of the floor. They have averaging over 77 ppg and shot over 46% from the field on average this season. They dropped 80+ points in 6 of those 7 wins during that run as they can beat teams both inside and out. This is just a mismatch for the Falcons. Bowling Green has been far too inconsistent to trust and their inability to slow teams down that like to play fast has been a major issue. Louisiana is going to run on them and force turnovers, which should lead to some easy buckets in transition the other way. Look for a lopsided game, where Louisiana dominates in every which way. Trends, Bowling Green are 2-4 ATS in their L6, and 2-14 SU L16 in FEB. ULL are 6-2 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, and they're 18-2 SU L20 at home. You know what to do in this one! Lay the points. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

Stanford -2

USC (9-14, 10-13 ATS, 1-7 AWAY) takes on Stanford (11-11, 12-10 ATS, 8-4 HOME) at 10pm ET on Saturday night from the Maples Pavilion in Stanford, CA. We're on Stanford here, laying the small number at home on Saturday night. USC has become an ultimate fade this season. The Trojans have been atrocious this season and the latest was another loss on the road to Cal. USC fell to 1-7 on the road and they have far too many issues to trust. Stanford is 8-4 at home this season and they need to put together some kind of good ending themselves here to the season. It starts here against the lower tier Trojans. USC lost their seventh in the last eight games and now they sit at the bottom of the Pac-12. This team just has so many issues on both ends of the floor. They rank near the bottom on both offense and defense and their inability to get timely stops has hurt them tremendously. Stanford has shown some signs of brilliance this season and their success comes from the offensive end. They put up nearly 78 ppg and they shoot the 3 as better as anyone in the nation. They currently rank 12th, shooting at a 38.6% clip from behind the arc. They are going to create a lot of open looks for their outside shooters and the Trojans defense is just too subpar to trust. Stanford will eventually pull away in this one if USC's defense plays like it has as of late. Trends, SC 1-4 ATS L5, 1-7 SU L8, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. STAN 4-1 ATS L5, 6-1 SU L7 vs. USC at home, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. PAC 12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Colorado -1.5

Saturday night late night bail out action. Late add. AZ won G1 between these two on JAN 4th, 97-50. Both teams are in much different spots now then they were then. (18-5, 15-8 ATS, 4-3 AWAY) Arizona take on (16-7, 10-12-1 ATS, 13-0 HOME) Colorado tonight at 10pm ET from the CU Events Center in Boulder, CO. This won't be a full write-up. But I'm loving the Buffs tonight. AZ will be on sea-legs for this one after playing 3x OT's on Thursday vs. Utah. They eventually won 105-99 to go 9-3 in the Pac 12. COLORADO took down ASU Thursday 82-70 and are now 27th in the KenPom rankings. If this game is tight in the 2nd half I trust CU to make their FT's. They're one of the top teams in the country from the charity stripe. Trends, Arizona are 0-5 SU in their L5 on the road against CU, and they're 2-4 ATS L6 on Sat's on the road. Colorado are 5-2 SU in their L7, 10-0 SU L10 at home, and they're 4-1 ATS L5 at home on SAT's. The Buffs keep this one close, and the home court will be rockin' tonight. Expect a court storming post game! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play 

Magic -5

Saturday night 7:10pm ET from the Kia Center in Orlando, FL we get the Chicago Bulls (25-27, 27-24-1 ATS, 10-15 AWAY) taking on the Magic (28-24, 34-18 ATS, 16-7 HOME). We’re on Orlando here, laying the points at home. Orlando has got their groove back a little bit as they’ve won 3 of their 4 games to start the month of February off. The key to the Magic being so successful thus far into the season has been their ability to beat teams they’re supposed to beat. They have wins over Minnesota, Detroit, and now the Spurs as they are beating up on teams in games they’re supposed to win. The latest was a 127 point performance as this offense has put together some nice showings as of late. Franz Wagner put up 34 in the win over San Antonio as he returned to the lineup and provided a huge boost for this Magic side. Orlando is the kind of team that leans on their depth. They will look to get a lot of different players involved and should be able to find plenty of success against a Bulls team that is giving up nearly 113 ppg. That number doesn’t indicate either how inconsistent the Bulls have been on the defensive end this season either. Orlando has also played exceptionally well at home. They’re 16-7 SU this year in Orlando and they’ve been able to create separation against teams inside this building. Look for Orlando to put the pressure on early and force the Bulls into some tough shots. Chicago has issues turning the ball over and the Magic defense can exploit that. Trends, Bulls are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Magic, and 1-4 SU L5, plus they're 4-8 SU L12 in FEB. Orlando are 6-1 ATS L7, 4-1 SU L5, 14-5 L19 at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do here! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play 

North Carolina -3

No. 3 North Carolina (18-5 SU, 13-9-1 ATS, 10-2 ATS) travels to Coral Gables to meet Miami (15-8 SU, 13-9-1 ATS, 6-6 ACC) on Saturday at 4pmET at Watsco Center. These teams met once last season with the Hurricanes winning 80-72 at home as a 6-point underdog. UNC has hit their first snag of the season. They come in losers of 2 of their last 3, which includes a home loss to the Clemson Tigers. It's the first time this season that North Carolina will be facing some adversity, but this is a great bounce back spot for them. The Tar Heels have a nice edge on this Miami side, that has been far too inconsistent to trust here this season. Miami has lost 2 of 3 themselves and their latest really showcased the issues they have. They managed just 38 points and had one of their worst shooting performances in quite some time. North Carolina is going to overwhelm them. The Tar Heels are not only going to come out looking to take out some frustrations, but they're also going to push the tempo on Miami. The Hurricanes are giving up 72 ppg and they have had issues with top teams this season. North Carolina averages 82.8 points per game and shoots 45% from the field (35.2% from behind the arc). They are going to prove to be too powerful for Miami and have them on their heels all night long. The edge sits with UNC. Trends, UNC 10-3 ATS L13, 11-2 SU L13, 5-2 SU L7 vs. MIA, and 10-2 SU L12 vs. ACC teams. Miami are 4-9 ATS in the L13 played on a Saturday at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Nuggets +1.5

At 10:10pm ET this Friday, the Denver Nuggets (35-16; 21-29-1 ATS) clash with the Sacramento Kings (29-21; 26-23-1 ATS), reviving their rivalry from December. The Kings triumphed with a 123-117 victory in their previous matchup. Denver looks for their 4th straight win and we’re backing them on the road here. This is a revenge spot after they fell in the last matchup to the Kings. They were missing one key piece in the process as they didn’t have Jamal Murray in that meeting. Murray comes in off a hot game against LA last night, where he scored 29 points in the win. With the Nuggets at full health here for the most part, there is plenty of value on them. Denver has obviously been led by Jokic, who continues to put up big numbers. His supporting cast has contributed a ton as the likes of Murray and Porter Jr. have stepped up. Michael Porter Jr. has 27 points in the win himself over LA and when the cast around Jokic is scoring at high levels, there’s no stopping this Nuggets team. The Kings are still a young group and this is a game where Denver is going to come out with some purpose. Look for the Nuggets to match the pace and really force the Kings defense on their heels in transition. Denver is one of the best teams at getting out in transition and opening shooting lanes for their outside threats. Trends, DEN are 6-1 SU L7, 6-2 SU L8 vs. SAC, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. WEST teams. SAC are 2-4 ATS L6, and are 2-6 ATS L8 at home. PLus, the Kings are 1-4 ATS L5 playing on 1 day rest. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dayton -2

Dayton (19-3, 5-2 AWAY, 12-9-1 ATS) take on VCU (15-8, 10-5 HOME, 14-9 ATS) on Friday night at 7pm ET from the Stuart Siegel Center in Richmond, VA. The Flyers have the value here in a huge A-10 battle on Friday night. Dayton comes in with 19 wins and sits 18th in the country as they are looking to make quite a name for themselves heading into March. The Flyers have won 3 straight games and 15 of their last 16 games overall as they continue to put up some impressive numbers on both ends of the floor. Dayton has scored 76 or more over this 3 game winning streak as their offense is one of the best in the country. They have been one of the top teams in the entire nation when it comes to shooting the 3 ball as well. They rank 5th, hitting the 3 point shot at a 40% clip. Coming into play on Friday, the Flyers have averaged 75 ppg and they have heated up as of late. Defensively, they are ranked 30th in the nation, giving up just 65.0 ppg. They have been incredibly impressive, holding the opposition to just 40.7% shooting from the field. VCU doesn't have enough firepower to keep up in this matchup. Dayton is red hot right now and the Rams haven't proven they can stay consistent. Look for Dayton to impose their will early on the defensive end and find themselves with some open looks in transition. Trends, DAY are 4-2 ATS L6, 16-1 SU L17, 5-1 ATS L6 on the road, and 9-1 SU L10 vs. ATL10 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Lakers +3.5

Denver Nuggets (35-16, 14-12 AWAY, 21-28-2 ATS) vs. Los Angeles Lakers (27-25, 18-8 HOME, 24-29 ATS) at 10:10pm ET, on TNT. After meticulously staring at the angles for this game for the last couple hours I can't avoid this highly anticipated clash. This game marks the second meeting of the season between the Lakers/Nuggets, coinciding with a momentous tribute to the legendary Kobe Bryant. the Lakers will unveil a new statue of Bryant outside Crypto.com arena. Additionally, the hosts will don "Black Mamba" themed jerseys. The Lakers have been on the road for the Grammy awards and returning home will be a breath of fresh air for them. You’re going to see a Lakers team that comes out with a purpose, especially Lebron here in this one. The Lakers stood pat at the deadline and they can’t be too happy about it. They’re going to come out with some fire in this one and they matchup well with Denver in some aspects. Los Angeles has momentum too. They went 4-2 on the road swing and they have leaned on their offensive firepower. They come in averaging over 116 PPG per game which is in the top tier of the NBA. Denver has hit a bump in their road games as well after dropping back to back games away from Denver. Lebron and company know how important this night is to Los Angeles and they are going to have a couple extra notches of energy. For me the key to this game is slowing down Murray. He always has big games in LA, but on this night, in this building, I'm on the home team. Trends, DEN 2-4 ATS L6, 3-8 SU L11 when playing vs. LA in LA. Lastly, they're 2-5 ATS L7 vs. WEST teams. For LAL 5-2 SU L7, 4-1 ATS L5 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. NW Div. teams. You get the feeling it's going to be one of those nights in LA. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Arizona -5.5

AZ (17-5, 14-8 ATS, 3-3 AWAY) vs. Utah (15-7, 11-11 ATS, 12-0 HOME) 8pm ET from the Jon M. Huntsman Center in Salt Lake City, UT. The Wildcats have laying the points on Thursday night. The Wildcats matchup extremely well with Utah. Coming into this one, Arizona has 3 in a row and 5 of their last 6 as they can make a real run at a one seed come March. They beat a very good Oregon on the road then handled business at home in back to back games. Arizona has been phenomenal on the offensive end and teams are struggling to keep up with their pace. Over their last 6 games, they’ve scored 77 points or more in each of those and on the year they’re averaging 89.0 ppg. This team is built different and they have the ability to come at you with so many different weapons. Caleb Love has been the catalyst, averaging 18.9 ppg this year. Hes hit double digits in all but one game this season and had 36 points in the last road game for Arizona. Utah was already blitzed by 19 by this Arizona team this season and they simply don’t have the firepower to keep up. This is a game where the Wildcats will run and set the tempo early. This is a clear mismatch and the value sits with the visitors. Trends, AZ 5-1 SU L6, 16-4 SU L20 vs. UT, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. PAC 12. UT 3-7 ATS L10, 4-10 ATS L14 vs. Pac 12. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Pacers -6

GSW (22-24 SU, 22-23-2 ATS) will take on the Pacers (29-24 SU, 28-21-3 ATS) at 7pm ET Thursday at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. ON D GSW give up 118.4 PPG (21st). The Pacers average 124.3 PPG (1st) on 50% shooting (1st), and they're 38% from 3pt. (4th). GSW have to be getting tired on this road trip. This will be their 3rd in 4, and 5th in 7. Golden State has to be looking forward to getting back home, even if it’s for a brief game. This is the kind of spot where they certainly overlook this game. Teams in the NBA have struggled in the final game of long road trips and they come in winning 3 of 4 already on this road swing. Regardless of the outcome here, they can consider this a successful trip and they will already have their sights set on their big home matchup with the Suns. Along with that, this Pacers team is so tough to deal with. They love to play so quick and will push the tempo on the Warriors knowing they’re on a back to back right now. Indiana is near the top of the NBA with 124.3 ppg this season. They come in winners of 2 straight, which includes a 135 point performance last time out. Indiana will get out in transition and really put an emphasis on getting some easy baskets at the rim. Expect the Warriors to battle some fatigue as this game goes on and Indiana will wear them down more and more. There is good value here on the home side. Trends, GSW 2-5 ATS L8 on the road, 2-5 SU L7 vs. IND, and 1-6 ATS L7 vs. IND. The Pacers are 6-1 ATS L7 playing at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

USC +3.5

(9-13, 10-12 ATS, 1-6 AWAY) USC Trojans take on CAL (9-13, 11-11 ATS, 7-5 HOME) on Wednesday night. 11pm ET from the Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, CA. We're on USC, grabbing the points here. The Trojans have been an underwhelming team here this season as they had high hopes to compete for a Pac-12 championship. Now, things look bleak for them, but they are much better than their record indicates. A win here can help them build off some momentum as they come in off a dominant performance over Oregon State last time out. The Trojans had one of their most complete performances of the season as they took down the Beavers 82-54 in a rout. The Trojans shot 49% from the field and held the Beavers offense to very little production both inside and out. That is the USC team that was expected this year and they matchup well with a Cal team that is incredibly inconsistent. The Bears' issues have been on both ends of the floor as they rank 154th in total offense and are 301st in the nation in total defense. USC is going to push the tempo, like they did against Oregon State and they're going to cause a lot of issues for this Beavers defense, especially in transition. Expect Cal to struggle with this USC offense, that finally has some rhythm to work with. Trends, USC 4-1 ATS L5 vs. CAL, 10-0 SU L10 vs. CAL, 5-0 SU L5 on the road vs. CAL and 5-1 ATS L6 in FEB. CAL is 2-5 ATS L7 at home, 5-15 SU L20 vs. PAC 12 schools, and 1-5 ATS L6 on Wednesday nights. I'm all over the road game in Berkeley on Humpday. Take USC outright in this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Cavs -10.5

The Cleveland Cavaliers (32-16, 26-20-2 ATS, 14-8 AWAY) take on the Washington Wizards (9-40, 22-26-1 ATS, 3-21 HOME) on Wednesday in the Nations Capital at 7:10pm ET from the Capital One Arena, in DC. Washington has a 9-37 record in games it was the ML dog. Cavaliers rank 16th in NBA scoring with 114.8 PPG; Wizards concede most at 124 PPG. Washington, #18 in scoring with 114.7 PPG, faces Cleveland, #3 in points allowed (109.7 PPG). Cleveland have won 14 of their L15.  They won last game out 136-110 over the Kings on Monday night, and shot 56% from 3 in that one. For WSH, they went down 140-112, in a home loss Sunday to the Suns. The Cavaliers are riding hot right now and they have showed no signs of slowing down. This team has showcased great play on both ends of the floor and they're burying teams with their ability to shoot the 3. Cleveland isn't shy about hoisting up the 3 ball and it's been the entire team really that is letting it fly. Against the Kings last time out, Cleveland made 23 three pointers. You read that right as the Cavs attempted 42 from the field. Cleveland's pace has picked up and they can beat opposing teams with both the inside game and obviously their ability to hit the 3. Jared Allen and Evan Mobley both are healthy and it's led this Cavs team to becoming one of the most threatening teams in the league. They currently sit in the 2nd spot and face this Washington team after already blowing them out twice this season. Washington has so many issues on both ends of the floor themselves and they are going to struggle once again slowing this Cavs team down. They don't have the speed or firepower to keep up and Cleveland will put their foot on the gas early. Trends, Cavs 9-3 ATS L12, 6-0 SU L6, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. WSH, 6-0 SU L6 vs. WSH, and 5-1 SU L6 on the road. WSH are 2-5 ATS L7, 3-15 SU L18, 0-5 ATS L5 at home, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Wisconsin -5

Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Crisler Center in Ann Arbor, MI we get the Wisconsin Badgers (16-6, 10-11-1 ATS, 3-4 AWAY, 8-3 B10) taking on the Michigan Wolverines (7-15, 6-16 ATS, 4-7 HOME, 2-9 B10). Wolverines have lost 15 of the last 19. WISC lost 2 in a row and have dropped two spots in the Top 25. O vs. D in this one. MICH averages 77 PPG, but on D WISC also is stingy, holding opponents to 67.8 PPG. Michigan has completely bottomed out. Back on 1/15, we backed this Michigan side, at home against the Buckeyes. They dominated the game, but since then everything that can go wrong has gone wrong. They’ve dropped 5 straight games, all of which have been by double digits. Now, they welcome in a Wisconsin team that they simply do not match up well against. Wisconsin themselves will come out with a purpose after dropping 2 straight games. They are going to be able to dictate just about everything and anything in this matchup. The Badgers are still one of the best defensively in the Big 10. They are going to have that Michigan offense frustrated. The Wolverines haven’t been able to get anything going on the offensive end and they’re trying to figure things out. That’s never a good thing when you have such a physical defense coming into play here like Wisconsin’s. Look for the Badgers to force a lot of turnovers and not allow the Wolverines to get into any sort of rhythm in this matchup. The Badgers offense will find plenty of shooting lanes, as the Wolverines defense continues to be one of the worst. Trends, WISC 15-4 SU L19, and 17-3 L20 played on a WED. The Wolverines are 0-5 ATS L5, 0-5 SU L5, 1-8 ATS L9 at home, and 1-8 SU L9 vs. BIG TEN schools. I'm expecting a 10-15 point Badgers win on Wednesday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

UConn -13.5

Tuesday night UConn (20-2, 13-9 ATS) hosts Butler (15-7, 11-10 ATS) in NCAAB action. The Huskies are the move here. UConn welcomes in a hot Butler team on Tuesday night, but this is going to be the kind of game where the Huskies impose their will. Butler has had its fair share of issues on the defensive end and the Huskies are going to take full advantage of that. Coming into play, Butler is giving up nearly 74 ppg. That doesn’t bode well against a UConn team that is on fire themselves. The Huskies put up 81.4 ppg themselves and they have been on a tear on both ends of the floor lately. They’ve really turned up the pressure defensively on teams and they’re forcing a lot of turnovers. Those turnovers have resulted in easy buckets the other way and they’re going to really put the heat on Butler. UConn only gives up 64.2 ppg and they forced Butler into some key turnovers and missed shots in their 88-81 win on January 5th. Look for UConn to really force some tough shots from Butler, who will have their issues on both ends of the floor in this matchup. The Huskies will keep their foot on the gas and make this a lopsided one. Trends, Butler are 4-9 ATS L13, 0-8 ATS L8 vs. UConn, and 0-8 L8 SU vs. UConn, they're also 1-4 SU L5 Tuesday games on the road. UConn are 6-3 ATS L9, 10-0 SU L10, and 16-0 L16 SU at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Magic +3

Tuesday 7:30pm ET, the Magic (27-23, 33-17 ATS, 12-16 AWAY) face the Heat (26-24, 13-12 HOME, 21-28-1 ATS) at Kaseya Center. The Heat lead the season series 2-1. The Magic come into this one on a 3-game winning streak, winning 4 of 5, with a 111-99 victory over the Pistons Sunday. The Heat were taken down by the Clippers Sunday 103-95. The Magic are playing some of their best basketball entering play here on Tuesday. Orlando has won three in a row and four of their last five as they continue to do just about everything right. The Magic dominated the Pistons last time out, holding them under 100 points as this defense has been one of the best in the league so far. Orlando has held teams to just 110.6 ppg this year and they’ve held the opposition to under 100 points in five of the last six wins. Orlando has been forcing a lot of turnovers, which has led to some easy buckets. The Magic have forced 14.7 turnovers per game, which is second best in the NBA so far. They also have been averaging 8.2 steals per game which is second in the league. Orlando is going to impose their will defensively in this matchup. Expect them to turn the pressure up, against a Miami offense that has been extremely inconsistent. Trends, Magic are 5-0 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, and 6-1 ATS L7 on the road. The Heat are 2-8 ATS L10, 2-8 SU L10, and 1-5 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams. They're also 3-9 ATS L12 games played in FEB (dating back to last year). You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kansas State +5.5

KU Jayhawks (18-4, ATS) take on the KState Wildcats (14-8, ATS) on Monday night at 9pm ET from the Bramlage Coliseum in Manhattan, KS. We’re on the Wildcats here, grabbing the points. Kansas and Kansas State renew their rivalry and when these two teams meet, it’s always quite a show. Kansas State and Kansas always go at it and things seem to be close in every matchup. While the Wildcats are struggling right now, this is the perfect opportunity for them to right the ship. Kansas State has lost some luster on the offensive end during this losing skid, but this team still has weapons that can take off at any moment. The Cats come in score around 72 ppg, but their edge also comes on the defensive end. They give up just 68 ppg and they love playing with a ton of high pressure. They aren’t shy about playing a physical game and that’s what the Jayhawks are going to get here in this game. Kansas State has to make sure this game is played with a slow pace where they can win on the defensive end. Expect them to get up high for this game as it’s the perfect chance for them to turn things around with march approaching fast. A signature win would be giant for them in this spot and they catch Kansas in what could be a let down spot. Trends, KU 2-5 ATS L7 on the road, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. KState on the road. KST are 6-3 SU L9 Monday games and 5-0 SU L5 Monday games @ home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Hawks +3

LAC (32-15, 26-21 ATS, 13-11 AWAY) take on the Atlanta Hawks (22-27, 14-35 ATS, 12-13 HOME) on Monday night. The Hawks have value for a few reasons here. We backed the Clippers last night and they had a hard fought win and cover against the Heat. It was a game that was extremely physical and saw both teams really go at each other from start to finish. After dealing with a physical game like that, the Clippers now have to shift their focus to a Hawks team that plays incredibly fast paced. That surely will cause some fatigue with this being the 2nd leg of a back to back. Expect Atlanta to put more of an emphasis on getting out and pushing the tempo, knowing that the Clippers are going to have some tired legs. Atlanta also is red hot right now. They’ve won 4 straight games and they’ve scored 126 points or more in all 4 of those wins. Coming into play, they’re averaging 121.2 ppg, which is one of the best marks in the NBA. The Clippers are going to struggle with their transition defense and that should produce some easy buckets for the Hawks. Look for this game to turn into a track meet, which heavily favors the Hawks side. Trends, LAC 1-4 ATS L5 FEB games. Hawks are 4-1 SU L5, 6-3 ATS L9 vs. PACIFIC div teams, and 6-3 SU L9 games in FEB. I'll take a home dog a lot of the time. Second night of a b2b for the Clippers, so playing on the home side on Monday. Clips beat the Heat 103-95 on Sunday night. Late night flight from Miami to Atlanta, never easy. Going to back the home team. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

UV -5

(15-7, 13-8-1 ATS, 2-4 AWAY) Miami take on the (17-5, 12-9-1 ATS, 12-0 HOME) Virginia Cavaliers on Monday evening. 7pm ET from the John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, VA. Virginia has a ton of value in this spot. Miami had high expectations this season, but it has seemed when they play top tier opponents, they tend to flop. This is another one of those cases as they take on a Cavaliers team who is unbeaten at home. Miami does come in after a win over Virginia Tech, but they have had plenty of issues this year when playing on the road. They’ve dropped 2 of their last 3 road games and defensively this team is a mess. They give up nearly 73 ppg and Virginia’s shooting abilities is going to be overwhelming for the Canes in this spot. Virginia slows the pace down and makes it so difficult for teams to guard their ball movement. Obviously combine that with their defensive strengths and they’re going to be so tough for Miami to handle. Virginia is one of the best in the entire nation, giving up just 57.8 ppg. They frustrate teams with their high pressure and they do not allow 2nd chances. Miami is going to struggle with the tempo of this game it should result in the Cavaliers dictating a lot. Combine that with this massive home court advantage and we’re getting a good number here. Look for Virginia to control this one from the outset. Trends, Miami are 1-6 SU L7 vs. UVA, and are 1-7 SU L8 vs. UVA on the road. UVA are 4-1-1 ATS L6, 6-0 SU L6, 20-0 SU L20 at home. This won't be an easy matchup by any means, but I love the 20-0 home record in CVille, and I think the Cavs will cover the 5.  You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* CBB ATS Play

OKC -9.5

Sunday 7:10pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC it's the Toronto Raptors (17-31, 22-25-1 ATS, 7-18 AWAY) taking on the OKC Thunder (34-15, 31-17-1 ATS, 19-6 HOME). The Thunder are #4 in the league for scoring, averaging 120.6 PPG, whereas the Raptors rank 18th in points allowed with 117 PPG. Toronto's offense ranks 18th, scoring 114.3 PPG, while OKC boasts the #11 defense, conceding 112.5 PPG. The Thunder are a team you don’t want to see right now, especially when you’re dealing with injuries. Oklahoma City has been playing some great basketball in this first half of the season as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on a tear lately. He comes in third in the NBA in scoring, averaging 31.3 ppg. He also leads the NBA in steals per game as he’s doing everything on both ends of the floor. It’s led to the Thunder being one of the best offensively rounded teams in the league and they have showed no signs of slowing down. The Thunder have won back to back games and 7 of their last 9. During that stretch, SGA has averaged 32.6 points, 7.0 asts, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.3 steals. The Raptors will have their hands full in this one and they also have injuries to deal with. Both RJ Barrett and Jontay Porter have been out and they come in off a blowout loss to the Rockets. This is just a mismatch and the Thunder are going to be too much for this Toronto side. I'm all over the home team on Sunday. I know that SGA gets up for games against his hometown team. He knows this game will be on LIVE in Canada, and will be determined to put on a show. He also wants to put one over on countrymen Barrett. Trends, Toronto are 2-5 ATS L7, 1-6 SU L7, 1-4 SU L5 on the road, and are 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Northwest teams. On the other side, OKC are 7-2 SU L9, are 9-1 SU L10 at home, are 4-1 SU L5 vs. EAST teams, and lastly, OKC are 11-4 ATS L15 Sunday games at home. This should be a great dual. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -4

LAC (32-15, 26-21 ATS, 13-11 AWAY) take on the Heat (26-23, 21-27-1 ATS, 13-11 HOME) today 6pm ET from the Kaseya Center in Miami, FL. We’re on the Clippers here, laying the points. Los Angeles continues to be red hot. A loss to Cleveland back on 1/29 was the only blemish in what has been quite the run since the middle of January. In fact, they’ve only lost 3 games since the beginning of January as they roll in with a ton of momentum. The Clippers are getting contributions all around. They put up 136 in a win over the Pistons that saw 7 players scoring double figures. That’s been the theme for LA during this hot stretch as they’ve figured things out. They’re getting so many different players to step up every night. They matchup well with the Heat, who only average 110.4 ppg. They don’t have the firepower to keep up with this Clippers unit. The Heat have just floated around a .500 team this year and aside from Butler, they’re just struggling to get consistency. They will struggle with the scorers the Clippers have and will get overwhelmed with the flurries that the Clips can come at teams with. There’s good value at this number. Trends, LAC 6-2 ATS L8, 7-1 SU L8, 8-2 ATS L10 vs. MIA, 7-3 SU L10 vs. MIA, and 6-0 ATS L6 vs. MIA in MIA. Heat are 2-7 ATS L9, 2-7 SU L9, and 3-8 ATS L11 in FEB. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Iowa State +4.5

The Cyclones have the value here as they look for another marquee win. This time, they take on a Baylor team that has had its issues as of late. Baylor does come in off a win, but that comes on the heels of a 3 game losing streak. The Bears issues have stemmed on both ends of the floor and now they have to deal with such a physical team here. Iowa State has the clear advantage on both ends of the floor and they come in with a lot of steam. They’ve won 3 straight which includes wins over #19 TCU and #7 Kansas. Overall, Iowa State is averaging 80.5 ppg offensively. They are one of the best at working the inside out game as they shoot over 48% from the field. Defensively, they really put together some tough possessions for the opposition. Allowing just 61.8 ppg, the Cyclones force turnovers and it produces them getting some easy buckets the other way. Baylor has been sloppy lately and they will struggle with this high pressured defense. Iowa State has been the better of the two teams as of late and we’re getting good value here. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Warriors +2.5

Tonight at 7:40pm ET the Warriors (21-24, 23-22 ATS, 8-11 AWAY) take on the Hawks (21-27, 13-35 ATS, 11-13 HOME) in NBA betting action at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, GA. GSW opened a 5-game trip with a 121-101 win at Memphis on Friday. Curry had 25, Kuminga 25, and Thompson 24 for GSW. Atlanta got a W last game out too, 129-120 home win over the Suns Friday. The Hawks claim the NBA's #3 spot in scoring with 120.8 PPG, while the Warriors rank #21 in points allowed, giving up 118.4 PPG. Golden State stands seventh in scoring (118.6 PPG), whereas Atlanta's defense ranks 29th, allowing 123.2 PPG. Golden State is starting to figure things out. The Warriors are finally back at full health and they’re getting contributions from everyone. Draymond Green makes this team better and he’s got his head on right and it’s helped them start to roll. The latest was a win over Memphis, a game we back the Warriors in. Golden State put up 121 as this offense has found its rhythm. Curry, Thompson, and Green are continuing to put up impressive numbers, but it’s really been the supporting cast that has picked things up. This time, it was Kuminga, who put up 29 points in the win. That’s the key for the Warriors as they need to get the supporting cast to help. They matchup well with the Hawks as they can match the pace Atlanta plays with. Golden State is one of the quickest teams in the NBA and can put together some quick buckets for themselves. Defensively, they’re getting some stops as well, as they held Memphis to just 101 points. Look for them to make some timely stops and force turnover in this matchup. Warriors will be too much for ATL tonight. I'm grabbing the points with the road dog. Trends, GSW 4-1 ATS L5, 12-5 SU L17 vs. ATL, and 8-3 ATS L11 vs. EAST teams. ATL 2-5 ATS L7, 5-15 ATS L20 at home, 0-5 SU L5 SAT games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kansas +1.5

It’s certainly rare to get Kansas as an underdog at home. There’s a lot of value on this side in Saturday. Kansas bounced back in a big way following the loss at Iowa State with a dominant performance over Oklahoma State. Now, they have a chance to grab a signature win over a top 5 team. This game is going to be an absolute grind, as are all of Houston’s games. They have the best defense in the country, but Kansas is the kind of team that can throw them off their game. The Jayhawks average nearly 80 ppg and they can really overwhelm opposing defenses. While the task is tall against a defense like this, the Jayhawks can use their tempo to throw Houston off. The Cougars like to play slow and they’ve had some issues with quick paced teams. Kansas also is overlooked a bit defensively at times. This team only gives up 67.6 ppg themselves which is right near the top of the conference. Kansas has the weapons to go toe to toe with Houston on both ends of the floor. Combine that with the home court advantage here and there is a lot of value with Kansas. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Golden State -8

(20-24, 22-22 ATS, 7-11 AWAY) Warriors take on the (18-30, 23-25 ATS, 5-17 HOME) Grizzlies tonight. We backed Memphis last night and they covered in a loss to Cleveland. We’re now on the Warriors here who come in a good situational spot against the Grizzlies. Memphis is already short because of injuries they’ve battled with and now on a back to back, things will get even tougher for them. Combine that with a confident Warriors team coming into play and this is going to be incredibly difficult for the Grizzlies. Golden State took it to the 76ers in their latest outing as the Warriors are healthy and able to get contributions all around. Draymond Green returning is a huge boost for this side, as he provides productivity at both ends of the floor. He’s going to be the difference maker for this Warriors team moving forward. Combine him with the shooters this team has and it’ll come back together for Golden State quickly. They matchup well with Memphis who is young. We saw at times on Thursday they’ve struggled to find consistency. Golden State should be able to overwhelm them with their complement of shooters and ability to win the battle in the paint. Golden State’s offense is coming around, as they’ve scored 119 or more points in 4 straight games. They have a nice edge and will have the Grizzlies frustrated all night. Trends, GS are 5-2 ATS in their L7. The Grizz are 3-7 L10 vs. PAC Div, and 3-9 SU L12 on Friday's. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Magic +6.5

The Magic (25-23, 31-17 ATS, 10-16 AWAY) take on the Timberwolves (34-14, 24-23-1 ATS, 18-4 HOME) tonight. The line has moved from the Wolves +8.5, but I'm still a fan. Orlando dominates ATS this season, at 31-17, while Minnesota is 25-23. In recent clashes, Orlando excels against Minnesota, boasting a 7-3 SU and 6-4 ATS record in the last 10 meetings. Wolves going for 3 in a row. Magic looking for revenge and I enjoy betting on teams that seek it. Under Mosley's leadership, the Magic have achieved a decent 65-47 ATS record when facing opponents they previously lost to in a h2h matchup, including a 10-6 performance ATS in the 2023/24 season. Magic going for b2b wins as they won 108-98 WED vs. the Spurs. Banchero led the team in scoring in that one (25 PTS) Wagner had (20 PTS). Minnesota won the first matchup 113-92 on 1/9/24 in Orlando. Magic are finally healthy and have all their weapons back in the fold. Harris is probable tonight for ORL, and this is a Jalen Suggs homecoming game, so I'm expecting a fired up Magic team to take the court for their teammate. The Magic are a confident team, and this is a BIG GAME on their calendar. They're healthy and will have all guns on deck. I think they'll do enough to cover this one, and maybe steal a W outright. Trends, the Magic are 6-3 ATS L9, 13-7 ATS L20 vs. MIN, 7-3 SU L10 vs. MIN, and 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and 13-3 ATS L16 on the road vs. Minni. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NBA ATS Play

Ohio State +5.5 

OST (12-8, 6-14 ATS, 0-5 AWAY) takes on the Iowa Hawkeyes (12-9, 9-12 ATS, 8-3 HOME) tonight. The Buckeyes need to get back on track and do it quickly here if they hope to crash the NCAA Tournament. Sitting at 13-8, they have dropped 6 of their 7 overall and if this continues, things could get ugly when March arrives. This is a good matchup for them here at Iowa. The Hawkeyes have their own problems they’re currently dealing with. Iowa comes in losing 3 of their last 4 and this team just hasn’t had any sort of consistency. If their offense is on one night, the defense will let them down. If the defense is getting stops, the offense is not hitting their shots. That’s been the theme for them this year and they’re struggling right now. Iowa comes in one of the worst in the conference on the defensive end, allowing nearly 78 ppg. They have struggled with allowing multiple chances per possession and Ohio State will look to crash the boards. They’ve also scored 70 points or less in the 3 losses during this stretch as they can’t seem to get their rhythm going. Ohio State is an aggressive team and that’ll be an advantage in this matchup. We’re getting the team with the edge and points in this one. You know what to do. Iowa is 4-8 ATS L12 vs. B10. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Oregon -2.5

Oregon (14-6, 12-8 ATS) vs. USC (8-12, 9-11 ATS). We’re on the Ducks here, laying the points on the road. This is a fade of a USC team that has struggled this season as a whole and lately things have looked very bleak for them. The Trojans have dropped 5 straight games and they come in after getting knocked around by UCLA on Saturday. We actually backed the Bruins in that game and UCLA held the Trojans to just 50 points. USC has been far too inconsistent to trust and they haven’t scored over 67 points in any of these 5 losses. The Ducks are going to swarm them defensively and really put an emphasis on not allowing the Trojans to get any second chances. The inconsistent shooting by USC is going to be too much to overcome against a Ducks team that loves to get out and run. Oregon averages over 78 PPG and they have playmakers that can hurt the opposition from inside and out. The Ducks can impose their will inside and really open up shooting lanes for their outside threats. They’re the better team and they can continue their trek toward the top of the PAC-12 standings here with a road win. UO 10-5 ATS L15, 10-4 SU L14, 13-7 SU L20 vs. USC, 6-2 ATS L8 on the road vs. USC. SC 0-5 SU L5, 1-5 SU L6 vs. Pac 12 teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Memphis +7.5

(29-16, 24-19-2 ATS, 12-8 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs visit the (18-29, 22-25 ATS, 5-16 HOME) Memphis Grizz tonight. We’re on the Grizzlies, grabbing points here on Thursday. Cleveland comes in red hot and we’re not overlooking that. However, this is a situational spot where they may catch some fatigue and overlook the Grizzlies. The Cavs ended up having a hard fought game against the Pistons last night in Cleveland and then immediately jumped on a plane to Memphis.  This kicks off a quick two game road swing where they head to San Antonio on Saturday. This is the kind of let down spot and Memphis is going to put a lot of pressure on them. Jaren Jackson Jr. will be the difference maker here. He’s averaging nearly 22 ppg and he’s been the one stepping up all season long for Memphis. His last three games he’s put up 30, 25, and 22 points and he’ll be the spark for this Grizzlies side. Look for Memphis to really slow things down given how the Cavs like to play fast. They can get them out of rhythm and force some tough shots for them. Memphis will turn this into a grind it out game and should be able to keep it close. Trends, Grizz are 5-0 ATS L5, 4-1 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams, and 15-4 SU L19 vs. CENTRAL div teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play

Missouri -6

8:30pm ET from Mizzou Arena it's the Razorbacks (10-10, 5-15 ATS) taking on the Tigers (8-12, 5-14-1 ATS). We’re on Mizzou, laying the points in this one. Missouri has the edge in this matchup as Arkansas is dealing with a lot of adversity right now. The Razorbacks have dropped 3 straight and 6 of their last 7 as this team simply doesn’t look good. They also are now at the center of the rumor mill with head coach Eric Musselman potentially looking to leave Arkansas after many successful seasons. Things look bleak and the distractions here aren’t going to be helpful for a team reeling right now. Missouri has to get themselves back on track too. Second year head coach Dennis Gates saw his team fall short on Saturday in South Carolina, but there were a few things to build off of. The Tigers are right there in most games and they just need to get over the hump. Their issues stem from finding consistency on the offensive side. The good thing for them in this one is that Arkansas allows nearly 77 ppg. The Tigers hold be able to find some rhythm early in this one and put together some good shots offensively. This is the kind of game that they can turn things around. Arkansas has issues on and off the court and they can use that to their advantage on Wednesday. Trends, ARK are 1-6 ATS L7, 1-6 SU L7, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. Plus they're 1-7 ATS L8 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Rockets +1.5

Wednesday night 8:10pm ET Pelicans (26-21, 26-20-1 ATS, 12-11 AWAY) vs. Houston (22-24, 24-20-2 ATS, 17-8 HOME). Just one NBA play today. I actually don't really like this card. Zion is questionable tonight, I'm betting on him not playing. The Pelicans are the eighth seed in the Western Conference with a 26-21 record in their first 47 games. They are in the middle of a three-game losing streak and are 4-6 over their last ten games. Last game out in the Rockets' 135-119 W over the Lakers Monday, Jalen Green paired a career-high 12 boards with a game-high 34 pts. He's clearly up'd his game, and is looking great of late. Him pounding the glass is creating a ton of second chance points for the Rockets. Houston can get out and run with the best of them too, scoring 29 fast break pts vs. the LAL. NOP are on the road for 8 of 9 here. They lost to Boston last game out 118-112 Monday. Trends, New Orleans are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, 5-12 L17 on the road vs. HOU, and 2-4 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams. Houston are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games, and are 5-0 ATS in their L5 vs. Southwest teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

KState -2.5

Tonight at 8pm ET from the Bramlage Coliseum we get OU (15-5, 11-9 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) vs. KState (14-6, 10-10 ATS, 10-1 HOME). We’re on the Wildcats here, laying the points. Kansas State is showing they are much better at home than on the road. The Wildcats dropped back to back games away, but now they return home with a chance to add another leg win to their resume. The Wildcats have won 5 straight at home, which includes a nice win over number 9 Baylor in this building. They’ve leaned on their defense, holding the opposition under 70 points in every win during this home winning streak. The Cats only give up 68.2 ppg and they welcome in a reeling Oklahoma team. The Sooners have dropped back to back games, both at home to Texas and Texas Tech. They struggled slowing both teams down and they’re going to have issues with such a physical Kansas State team in this matchup. The Cats are going to impose their will in the paint and look to make this a very physical contest. This has the makings of a game where they wear Oklahoma down and the Sooners’ struggles continue. Trends, OU are 3-7 ATS L10, 3-7 ATS L10 vs. KState, and 2-9 SU L11 on the road. KST are 14-5 SU L19, 14-1 SU L15 at home, and 10-1 L11 at home vs. OU. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Knicks -4.5

7:40pm ET Tuesday night from MSG the Jazz (24-24, 29-19 ATS, 9-18 AWAY) take on the Knicks (30-17, 28-18-1 ATS, 16-5 HOME). We’re on the Knicks here, laying the points at home. Situationally, this one makes a lot of sense on the home side. The Jazz are in the final game of what has been now a 6 game road swing. They have gone 2-3 and come in after allowing 147 points to Brooklyn last time out. They’re catching the Knicks, who are simply playing their best basketball right now. New York has rattled off 7 straight wins and they’re doing it with so many different things. One thing to note is this defense. They haven’t allowed over 110 points during this winning streak and this season they’re averaging just 109.4 ppg against. This team plays with a ton of high pressure and they aren’t shy about being aggressive on the defensive end. It’s resulted in a lot of success as they are forcing turnovers and not allowing many second chances at the rim. They’re going to overwhelm a Jazz team who are looking forward to going home after a long trip. This makes sense in many different ways and the edge sits with the home side. Trends, Utah are 4-14 ATS in their L18 on the road vs. NY. New York are 5-0 ATS in L5, 7-0 SU L7, 5-0 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nuggets -3.5

Bucks (32-14, 18-28 ATS) take on the Nuggets (32-15, 19-26-2 ATS) tonight in a great NBA Monday matchup. Denver is going to see a new look Bucks team here on Monday night. Milwaukee will welcome in Doc Rivers for the debut of the coaching switch, which has been questioned by a lot of people entering play. The Bucks split with the Cavs on their back to back home swing and then took down the Pelicans in dominant fashion. This, however, is not the matchup they want with all the attention on the coaching change. Denver is such a tough team to beat in general, but it gets way harder when they're at home as well. The Nuggets are fresh off a win over the 76ers and they matchup so well with the Bucks. Milwaukee's offense will struggle mightily to get things going against a Nuggets defense that averages just 111.0 ppg. That number is impressive given the way Denver likes to run as they will not allow anything easy in transition. There's going to be so many distractions here and with the Bucks Antetokounmpo battling an illness, he likely won't be at 100% in this game. All the signs and edges lean the Nuggets way and they're going to look to make a statement here against a top team in the league. Trends, Bucks 3-11 ATS L14, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. DVR, 7-13 SU L20 vs. DVR, and 0-6 ATS L6 on the road. DVR are 4-1 SU L5, 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 5-0 SU L5 vs. CENTRAL div. teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Jazz PK (-110)

Monday night 7:40pm ET in Brooklyn we get the Jazz (24-23, 9-17 AWAY, 29-18 ATS) taking on the Nets 18-27, 11-12 HOME, 21-22-2 ATS). The Nets are slight 1-point favorites against the Jazz, with a game total set at 233.5 points. Brooklyn has faced recent struggles, posting a 5-17 record in their last 22 since Dec. 14 and going 3-12 in their most recent 15 outings. They showed resilience with a hard-fought 106-104 victory against the Rockets Saturday. The return of Simmons is anticipated, albeit with restricted playing time, as he has been sidelined since Nov. 6 after participating in 48 games following his acquisition from the 76ers in exchange for Harden. Tonight Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith for the Nets remain (?). On the other side, the Jazz have been in fine form, boasting a 17-7 record over their last 24 and securing a convincing 134-122 W over Charlotte Saturday. Utah previously outclassed Brooklyn with a commanding 17-point home W on Dec. 18. The Nets rank 20th in the league in scoring, averaging 113.3 PPG, while the Jazz's defense ranks 23rd, allowing 119.3 PPG. Utah ranks 11th in scoring with 117.9 PPG, while Brooklyn's defense ranks 16th, conceding 114.9 PPG. Overall, the Jazz hold the 15th spot in offensive rating and the 22nd spot in defensive rating. Jazz are 8-1 vs. teams with losing records, and the Nets have lost their 5/7 last home games. You know what to do. My model has the Jazz winning by 4-7 in this one, too much confidence, too many shooters, and the Jazz know how to take care of teams not playing up to their level. They'll pull away in this one in the second half. Trends, Jazz are 9-2 ATS L11, 14-5 SU L19, 13-6 L19 vs. NETS, 5-1 L6 ATS on the road, and 6-3 ATS L9 on the road vs. Nets. Brooklyn are 4-15-1 ATS in their L20, and are 3-12 SU L15, and 3-11 ATS L14 vs. WEST teams. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA PK Play

Duke -3

Monday night at 7pm ET from Cassell Coliseum in Blacksburg, VA, we get the Duke Blue Devils (15-4, 9-9-1 ATS) taking on the Virginia Tech Hokies (13-7, 10-10 ATS). The last time these two met up was 2/25/23 an 81-65 Duke win at Cameron. Duke has value here laying the small number on the road. Duke has been an interesting team this season. They keep finding ways to win and they’re doing it in many different ways. The latest was a last second foul call against Clemson at home on Saturday. They’re such a tough team to crack overall and they matchup so well with the Hokies. Duke comes in averaging 81.2 ppg. This offense is so threatening both inside and out. We’ve seen them go on runs where they will dominate the paint, which opens up a ton of shooting lanes. While their offense gets most of the attention, this Duke team has really put the clamps down defensively too. They come in allowing just 67.2 ppg, which is one of the best in the conference and top tier in the nation. That’s where the edge sits with them on Monday. Virginia Tech only scores 74.7 ppg themselves on average. Duke is going to frustrate the Hokies all night long in this matchup. The Blue Devils ability to close out on shooters will give nothing easy to Va Tech. We’re going to see Duke force a lot of tough shots and produce turnovers. They love to get out and run and their transition game here will be too much for Virginia Tech to deal with. Trends, Duke are 10-1 SU in L11, are 14-6 SU L20 vs. VT, are 15-2 SU in their L17 vs. ACC Teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Bulls -6.5

9pm ET from the Moda Center in Portland. Final game of the night tonight and the Blazers (13-32, ATS) get the Bulls (21-25, ATS) in PDX. Season series is 0-0 this is their first matchup. Bulls won both meetings last season. Blazers lost last game out 116-100 to the Spurs, failing to cover as a 5-pt road dog. The Bulls lost to the Lakers as they continue their west-coast road swing here. 141-132. Bulls are 3-1 ATS L4 and have won 6 of their L10. On the defensive side of the ball, Chicago has given up 112.7 PPG, (12th). Over their L5 their offense is avg. 115.4 PPG they score 111 PPG (26th). They are shooting 46% and 35% from 3. This may be a scary game to handicap for most "experts" out there because of the 2 teams' injury report and the way the NBA prioritizes injury news (Sarcasm), but I'm all over the Bulls tonight. Injury report (as best as we can tell), OUT LaVine, Ball, Craig, and P. Williams for CHI, for PDX, Grant, Brogdon, Simons, Walker, Henderson are all (?), with a good chance a couple of them are OUT tonight, as I think there's some trades a brewing in Portland, Sharpe is OUT. Portland has scored 110 PPG or less in 4 of L6. Trends, Bulls 5-2 ATS L7 vs. PDX, and 4-1 ATS L5 Sunday games. PDX are 4-10 SU L14, 3-7 SU L10 in JAN. Don't overthink this one. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

UCLA +3

Battle of LA time as the UCLA Bruins (8-11, 8-10-1 ATS) take on the USC Trojans (8-11, 9-10 ATS) on Saturday at 8pm ET. The Bruins (8-11, ATS) have value here catching points in their rivalry game with USC.This is a game that usually has a lot of hype, but this year, things are. little different given the struggles of both teams. Injuries have hampered USC, while UCLA has severely under-achieved this season. We're getting the Bruins at the right time though as they are playing some solid basketball finally. The Bruins had back to back to back wins after knocking off Washington and coming from behind against Arizona State before falling to Arizona by just 7. The Bruins are starting to find a little bit of a rhythm themselves. They're getting some timely shots and getting different players to step up. Defense has also been a huge key for them. They're getting stops and not allowing 2nd chance opportunities, which was a huge issue for them this year. The Trojans are battling injuries and while Boogie Ellis is expected to be back, he's still not at 100%. Combine that with them missing a couple other key players and their issues are going to continue in this one. The Trojans are struggling right now, while UCLA is catching some steam. Trends, UCLA are 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the flip side USC are 1-4 SU in their L5, and 2-7 L9 SU vs. PAC 12 schools. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Celtics -6.5

Saturday at 7pm ET we get the LA Clippers (28-14, 9-10 AWAY, 23-19 ATS) taking on the Boston Celtics (35-10, 20-1 HOME, 23-20-2 ATS) in Boston, MA. LAC are 4th in the WEST. BOS are 1st in the EAST. BOS is 4th in PPG 120 PPG, LAC is 9th 118 PPG, on defense LAC 9th 112 PPG, BOS 4th 110 PPG. Both teams TOP 10 in 3PT FG%, and FT%. Injuries as of Friday, Zubac for LAC, Porzingis for BOS. The last time these two met up was 12/23/23 a 145-108 Celtics win in LA. (Celtics covered the -4.5) Before that 12/29/22 a 116-110 BOS win in Boston. Boston is playing at such a high level right now. They come in after sweeping a 3 game road trip, which included wins over Miami and Dallas in back to back games. They were firing away offensively, putting up performances of 116, 119, and 143 to close the trip out. Boston has covered in 6 of their last 8 games overall and they have all the momentum coming into this matchup. The Celtics rank 4th both in total offense (120.8 ppg) and defense (110.6 ppg) coming into Saturday's matchup. They have the ability to beat teams in so many different ways. Defensively, they rank 3rd in field goal percentage against. They have shown how good they are at closing out on shooters and they use their length to control the paint. They're going to put an emphasis on this here against LA as they know they have to close out on the complement of shooters this team has. Boston offensively also has such a huge edge. They have continued to get contributions from so many different players time and time again. They're overwhelming for the opposition and they're going to pick apart this Clippers defense. Trends, BOS 5-2 ATS L7, 6-1 SU L7, 19-1 SU L20 at home, 10-2 SU L12 vs. WEST teams, and 4-0-1 L5 on Saturday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

JM +2

Saturday at 6pm ET its James Madison (17-2, 12-5-1 ATS) vs Appalachian State (16-4, 11-7 ATS). This is the revenge spot the Dukes have been waiting for. James Madison has just 2 losses on the season, with one of those being against this App State team on their home court. The Dukes are one of the best offensive teams in the entire nation. They come into play on Saturday ranking 10th in the NCAA, putting up 85.5 ppg. They love to get up and down the floor and that has proven to overwhelm teams at times. That should be something they look to do early as they just couldn't get in rhythm in their first matchup earlier this season. James Madison also is going to put a ton of pressure here on the App State shooters. The Dukes are one of the best in the nation at slowing teams 3 point games down. Coming into Saturday, they are allowing the opposition to shoot just 28.6%. App State ranks 94th in total offense and they're catching a James Madison team that is clicking on all cylinders right now. James Madison is the much better team and they're going to come out with a purpose in this one. Trends, JM are 8-3 ATS L11, 17-2 SU L19, 5-2 ATS L7 vs. APPST, and 7-1 ATS L8 on the road. APPST are 3-6 ATS L9 games on Saturday's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Knicks -4

Saturday at MSG it's the Miami Heat (24-21, 19-25 ATS, 12-11 AWAY) taking on the NY Knicks (28-17, 26-18 ATS, 15-5 HOME) Knicks are 4-1 ATS L5, Heat 0-5 ATS L5, and 0-5 SU L5 as well. Last game out the Heat lost 143-110 to Boston. It's hard for me to think they've turned a corner in 48 hours. Miami is scoring just 110 PPG (28th), over L5 averaging 105 PPG. To say OJ Anunoby has been a good deal is an understatement. He's been everything the Knicks were hoping for and more. Knicks are now 4th in the EAST, and last game out they took down the Champs...beating the Nuggets 122-84 in NY. In fact, they thumped them. Anunoby led with 26 (10/18 shooting). Brunson scored 21. Grimes added 19. Randle had 17 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists. All parts of their offense are working right now. To go along with that tenacious defense. NYK have held 4/5 to 103 or less and noone is scoring over 109 of late. For Miami Rozier hasn't quite meshed with his new team yet, I'm sure he will, but acclimating to a new team takes a few games usually. The Heat aren't there yet, and their spinning the wrong way currently. Injuries we're watching, looks like Jaime Jaquez Jr. is PROB, but likely on a minutes restriction, and Hartenstein is (?) for NY as of 11:45am ET. The Knicks/Heat meet for the 2nd time, Knicks won 100-98 on 11/24/23. Trends, Heat 0-5 ATS L5, 0-5 SU L5, 1-5 SU L6 vs. NY, and 1-6 ATS L7 on a Saturday. On the flip side NYK are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 9-2 SU L11 vs. SOUTHEAST teams, and 4-2 ATS L6 at home. New York ranks among the NBA's top five cover teams, with a 25-18-2 ATS record, including 12-7-1 at MSG. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nova +1.5

(11-8, 10-9 ATS) Villanova take on (13-7, 9-10 ATS) Butler Saturday at 3pm ET. We're on Villanova here, grabbing the small number. The Wildcats are the better team here. While things haven't gone according to plan for them this season, they still have time to turn this around and it starts here at Butler. The Wildcats have dominated this head to head series overall. Coming into Saturday, they lead the all time series 16-6. They won the most recent matchup 62-50 as they've had a lot of success both at home and at Butler. Villanova has to lean on their defense and they will in this matchup. The Wildcats rank 59th in the entire NCAA, with just 66.5 points against. They are their best when they can turn defense into offense and get out in transition. Butler ranks 119th in the shooting percentage (46%) and they're going to struggle with the high pressure Nova brings. The Wildcats are going to put an emphasis on putting a lot of pressure on. They're going to be taking those missed shots and turnovers from Butler and pushing out in transition. Look for Nova to get back on track here. Trends, Nova are 92-1 ATS L12 vs. Butler, and 9-3 SU L12 vs. Butler. Butler are 2-9 ATS L11, and 0-6 ATS L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan +3.5

The Spartans (12-7, 10-8-1 ATS, 1-3 AWAY, 4-4 B10) take on the Badgers (15-4, 9-9-1 ATS, 10-1 HOME, 7-1 B10) tonight. 8pm ET from the Kohl Center in Madison, WI. These two met back on December 5th 2023, a 70-57 Wisconsin win at MST. This is a different MST team now. MST comes in playing well over their L3, winning all 3, holding opponents to UNDER 60 in 2 of those 3. Michigan State ranks 134th in the country for scoring, averaging 76.2 points per game. They also sit at 173rd nationally in rebounding. Last game out the Spartans knocked off the Terps 61-59, covering as a 1pt road dog. Walker led MST with 15, 5 assists and 5 steals. The Badgers grabbed a 61-59 W over the Gophers. They did NOT cover the -2.5. This season, the Badgers rank 152nd in scoring offense, averaging 75 PPG. They grab 33 RPG. Of late MST has been shooting the ball great. The scorers are getting great looks and they're really distributing the ball well opening up looks for their main guys. Michigan State is shooting 47% from the field and 36% from 3. In their previous clash, Wisconsin held the Spartans to 57 points, with a 45% FG and 31% from 3. They'll need to copy this recipe for success tonight. I don't think it happens. Revenge is a real thing in college hoops, and I'm all over Sparty tonight vs. the Badgers. MST are 7-2-1 ATS L10, 8-2 SU L10, 11-4 SU L15 vs. WISC, and 4-1 SU L5 on the road in Madison. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play 

Suns -4.5

7pm ET from the Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN its the Phoenix Suns (26-18, 12-7 AWAY, 16-26-2 ATS) taking on the Indiana Pacers (24-21, 13-9 HOME, 24-18-3 ATS). These two played on January 21st. The Suns beat the Pacers, 117-110. Durant put up 40, 9 rebounds, and 3 blocks for the Suns. Booker had 26, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Buddy Hield scored 18 points with 4 rebounds for the Pacers, in a losing effort. Suns won the season series last year 2-0. We were on the Suns last game out over the Mavs, and cashed that winning ticket easily. Back to the well with them here in this spot. The Suns have figured things out. After struggling all season long and people talking about how their chemistry is off, Phoenix has seemingly found their groove. They enter winners of 7 in a row and they are doing everything right. The latest was a 132 point performance in a win over the Mavericks and they’re looking to continue this momentum against a Pacers team they beat already during this winning streak. It starts with Durant. He’s been on fire and he’s making everyone around him better. Booker went off against the Mavs, while Beal, Allen, and Nurkic all contributed in a big way along side. They’re sharing the ball better than anyone in the league and they’re getting key shots at the right time. They matchup well with this Pacers team, who has struggled defensively. They’re one of the worst in the league, allowing nearly 123 ppg. Their inability to get stops in transition and the struggles they have closing out on shooters is far too alarming. Given the way the Suns have been playing, they’re going to pick apart this defense even worse than a few games ago. We’re getting a good line on the much better side here. Trends, PHX is 7-0 SU L7, 5-0 SU L5 vs. IND, 5-1 SU L6 on the road, 9-3 ATS L12 on the road vs. IND, and 6-0 SU L6 vs. EAST teams. The Pacers are 2-5 SU L7, and 1-4 L5 SU vs. PACIFIC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS Play

Gonzaga -9

9:00pm ET from the McCarthey Athletic Center, in Spokane, WA. The Dons (15-5, 13-6 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) visit the Zags (13-5, 8-9 ATS, 8-1 HOME) tonight. We’re on the Bulldogs here, who have value against San Francisco on Thursday.We’re on the Bulldogs here, who have value against San Francisco on Thursday. San Francisco had a lot of their flaws exposed last time out and they’re going to have another game where things are going to be an absolute struggle. The Dons were throttled by St. Mary’s 77-60 in a game where they stood no chance from the beginning. They struggled shooting the ball (41.2% from the field) and couldn’t get in any sort of rhythm. They’ve struggled against top tier teams and this is going to be another game where they just do not match up well with Gonzaga. The Bulldogs pace is going to be a huge issue for San Francisco. Gonzaga has scored 86 and 105 in their latest two games as they’ve found their groove after the loss to Santa Clara. Gonzaga averages 85.6 ppg and only concedes 68.0. They’re going to put the pressure on early and really force San Francisco into some tough situations on both ends of the floor. The Dons don’t have the speed or physicality to matchup in this game. With the momentum Gonzaga has and the rhythm they’re in, they’re going to be way too much for San Francisco in this one. Trends, SF are 0-10 SU L10 vs. the Zags, are 0-20 vs. the Zags on the road SU L20. The Zags are 4-1 ATS L5, 4-1 SU L5, 14-1 SU L15 at home, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WCC teams, and are 5-1 ATS L6 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State +2.5

7pm ET from the Wolstein Center, in Cleveland, OH. The Wright State Raiders (10-10, 8-11 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) visit the Cleveland State Vikings (11-8, 9-9-1 ATS, 9-0 HOME) tonight. The last time these two met was 1/4/24, a WRST 82-70 win (WRST covered the -6) at home. We’re on the Vikings here tonight however, Cleveland State has the value against Wright State in this one. Cleveland State has value in this rematch against Wright State. This is a revenge spot for the Vikings and they are such a tough team to crack at home. They come in undefeated at home this season and the latest saw them erase a 15 point deficit in the 2nd half to IPFW. The Vikings are built with depth and they get contributions from so many different players time and time again. Still, the key to the game is F Tristan Enaruna. He comes in averaging 17.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 3.2 assists. The team feeds off his energy and he has the ability to take a game over. Defensively, the Vikings are far better at home too. That will be key as they were blown away by Wright State on the road by giving up way too many open shots. The Vikings will put an emphasis on closing out on shooters and not allowing second chances. The Vikings play with far more energy at home and this is a chance for them to get another big conference win, to get themselves right back in the thick of the standings. Trends, WST 4-8 ATS L12, 3-7 ATS L10 vs. CLEST, 2-5 SU L7 games on Thursday's. On the other side, CLEST are 6-3 SU L9, 10-0 SU L10 at home, also, the Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their L5 following an ATS win. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

IUPUI +14

7pm ET from the Indiana Farmers Coliseum, in Indianapolis, IN. The Youngstown State Penguins (14-6, 9-7 ATS, 4-5 AWAY) visit the IUPUI Jaguars (6-15, 5-13 ATS, 4-6 HOME) tonight. The last time these two met was 1/7/24, a YST 75-65 win at home. (IUPUI covered the +17 in that one) Last year when these two met it was on 2/25/23. A YST 93-79 win in Indy. We’re on the Jaguars here tonight, IUPUI has the value against Youngstown St. in this one. IUPUI has vastly improved from last season. While the record may not indicate it, they’re much more competitive in games and they’re sticking close with some tough opponents too. They catch a lot of points in this spot and they’re going to give Youngstown State some issues. Looking back at IUPUI’s schedule, they took down IPFW on the road (17 point underdogs) and played the likes of Green Bay, Cleveland State, and even this Youngstown State team close. They also get YSU in a spot where they may be looking ahead. The Penguins have a tough stretch coming up with games against top teams in the Horizon League. This is a case where they may not be 100% focused with the likes of a lower team and come out sluggish. IUPUI has been able to find success when they slow the tempo down and they’ll look to do that here. If they can get the Penguins out of rhythm early, it can lead to some frustrations. This can be a game played in the 60’s-70’s and that’ll favor IUPUI. They can keep this one close throughout. Trends, the Jaguars are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog of +13 or more. Plus recently, Thursday games have been kind to IUPUI. They're 8-3 ATS L11, and 5-1 ATS L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

DePaul +18

Tonight at 9pm ET from the Wintrust Arena, in Chicago, IL we get Marquette (13-5, 9-8-1 ATS, 2-3 AWAY) taking on DePaul (3-15, 5-12-1 ATS, 3-8 HOME). We’re backing DePaul here, with the points on Wednesday night. DePaul needed a change and they did just that here entering play on Wednesday. After just a horrid start to the year, they relieved Tony Stubblefield of his duties. Matt Brady will take over on an interim basis and that is actually something that should get this DePaul team up for this game. Marquette may also overlook this matchup a little bit. After having to deal with hard fought games against Villanova and St. John’s, the Eagles will have a tough time getting up for a team that has as bad of a record as DePaul. The Blue Demons need Chico Carter Jr. to get himself going early. The rest of this team seems to feed off his energy and he comes in leading the team in both points and rebounds per game. We’ve seen Marquette flop on the road this season already and I’m not saying DePaul is going to come out of this and win it outright. But with this many points and a new coach, the energy is going to be different and they should come out with some inspired play here to keep this within this large number. These two last met on 2/25/23, a 90-84 Marquette win. DePaul covered the +14.5 in that one. You know what to do here. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Suns -2

Wednesday in Dallas at 8:40pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX it's the Suns (25-18, 11-7 AWAY, 15-26-2 ATS, 8-9-1 ATS AWAY) taking on the Mavericks (24-19, 11-12 ATS HOME, 23-20 ATS, 13-10 HOME). The Mavs look to bounce back from a 119-110 loss to the Celtics Monday. The Suns have won six in a row. What's not to like right now? Phoenix, led by Kevin Durant's 43 points and Bradley Beal's 18, secured their 11th win in 14 games with a 115-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Monday. During the streak, the Suns have taken off offensively, averaging 122 PP 100 possessions (#6), and they've improved defensively, rising to 8th in efficiency from 16th. The Big 3 are clicking, and figuring out how to play with each other, and we get the Mavs in this one with injury question marks for all of their guards. Never a good thing on rivalry week. The Suns initially favored by 1.5 points against the Mavericks at Wednesday, now shifted to Suns -2.5. We're going to lock that number in right here. (I like this play from -2 to -2.5). I really like how Phoenix has been playing during their winning streak, they keep this up I'll be running the NBA futures market soon to look at their NBA title odds. I'm expecting their defense to contain the Mavs outside shooters in this one, and I'll lay the points. Phoenix won't be tired yet, but we may look to fade them in 7-10 days as they get towards the end of their longest road trip of the season. All 4 are questionable tonight. Doncic, Exum, Curry, and Irving. Trends, PHX 6-0 SU L6, 4-1 SU L5 on the road, 4-1 L5 vs. WEST teams. The Mavs are 2-4 ATS L6, 2-4 SU L6, 5-10 ATS L15 on Wednesday's at home. You know what to do. Hop ON!  Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play 

FAU -12

Wednesday from the Tudor Fieldhouse in Houston, TX at 8pm ET we get the FAU Owls (15-4, ATS) taking on the Rice Owls (7-11, ATS). The Owls have value here laying the points against Rice. FAU has had a target on their backs every time they take the floor this season after their Final Four run last year. While they are getting everyone's best, they are still finding ways to win. The latest was an overtime win at UTSA as they put up 112 points in the win. This offense is still as good as ever this season and they're lighting up the scoreboard. Coming into this matchup with Rice, they're averaging 84.1 ppg, which sits in the top tier in the nation. Rice just doesn't have the firepower that FAU has. They come in ranked in the bottom tier of the NCAA, with just 73.4 ppg. They have lost 5 of their last 6 and will get a very fired up FAU team entering play. With some close games as of late, the Owls are going to come out with a purpose here. Expect them to push the tempo on Rice and overwhelm in a game with a clear cut mismatch. Look for a lopsided game here. Trends, FAU 5-1 SU L6, 5-1 SU L6 vs. Rice, 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Rice on the road, and 6-1 SU L7 vs. AAC teams. On the other side Rice is 14-1 ATS L6, 1-5 SU L6, 2-10 SU L12 vs. AAC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Houston -2.5

9pm ET from the Marriot Center in Provo, UT, we get Houston (16-2, ATS) taking on BYU (14-4, ATS) on Tuesday night. The Cougars are the move here on Tuesday night. Houston has to prove to themselves if anything here that they can get a win on the road against a top 25 team in the conference. They’ve had zero issues at home, but they’ve dropped their last two road games and now get a chance at number 21 BYU. They matchup very well with this Cougars team, giving them good value. Houston held Texas Tech to 54 points and then held a UCF team that just beat Kansas to only 42 points in back to back wins coming into play. The Cougars are at their best when they can impose that dominant defense and they’re going to do that to BYU. The Cougars have gone just 2-3 in their last 5 games and they are struggling to find consistency. Houston is going to frustrate them offensively as the Cougars play with such high pressure. They close out better than anyone and they rarely allow 2nd chances. This is a game where Houston is going to slow things down and take BYU out of rhythm. They have an edge on both ends of the floor and we’re getting a good line here. Trends, BYU are 14-4 SU in their L18, and they're 11-1 SU L12 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

OKC -13 

8pm ET on Tuesday night from OKC the Portland Trail Blazers (12-30, 5-18 AWAY, 19-23 ATS) are in town to take on the Thunder (29-13, 16-5 HOME, 28-14 ATS). PDX allows 117 PPG (19th), OKC allows 113 PPG (14th). Scoring PDX is 30th (107.5 PPG), and OKC is #3 (121 PPG). I'm all over OKC in this matchup on Tuesday night. The last time these two met was a 139-77 OKC win in OKC on 1/11/24. OKC recently secured a 102-97 W against the West-leading Timberwolves Saturday. Following their win over PDX on 1/11, the Thunder have won 3 of their last 5, with their most recent two being W's. The Blazers lost 134-110 to the Lakers Sunday, and their average deficit against Oklahoma City over two matchups is 52 PPG. The Thunder have the edge in every which way you look at this matchup. Oklahoma City has the mental edge for starters. Just weeks ago, we saw the Thunder make history vs. PDX. The Thunder have played well since then and Portland has headed in the opposite direction. Oklahoma City is led by SGA, who has put up 31.1 ppg, 6.3 apg, and 5.6 rpg. He’s been the one who has got this team going and he has scored over 30 points in back to back games. Look for him to lead the charge as this Thunder offense is going to overwhelm the Trail Blazers with their speed. Portland has allowed the opposition to shoot at nearly a 50% clip on average this season. They allow so many easy looks at the rim and they don’t close out on shooters well. Given how well Oklahoma City can shoot it and share the ball, Portland will find their defense scrambling. This is going to be another lopsided matchup and the Thunder will keep their foot on the gas throughout. Trends, OKC 6-2 SU L8, 6-0 ATS L6 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 at home vs. PDX, and 8-3 SU L11 vs. WEST teams. On the other side PDX are 3-8 SU L11, 1-9 ATS L10 vs. OKC, and lastly they're 1-11 SU L12 on the road. OKC are obviously a top team in the WEST, and I just don't see how PDX causes them any trouble tonight at home. Too many weapons, too much rim protection, and a deep bench. I'm on OKC. You know what to do. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Nets +4.5

New York has won 3 in a row (26-17, 12-12 AWAY, 24-18-1 ATS), and they want to continue their winning streak. They play Brooklyn (17-25, 10-10 HOME, 20-20-2 ATS) at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. You can watch this game on TNT. The initial odds favor the Knicks by 4, and the total is 225. The Knicks are the 16th-best scoring team in the NBA, averaging 115.2 PPG, and they also have the 3rd-best defense, allowing 110.6 PPG. On the other hand, the Nets are ranked 17th in the league for points allowed, giving up 115.8 PPG, and they have the 19th-best offense, scoring an average of 114.2 PPG. It's been rough sleddin' for the Nets vs. NYK of late. The Knicks took out Brooklyn 121-102 in their last matchup on 12/20/23 and have won the past 3 vs. the Nets by a combined 61 pts. NY won last game out vs. Toronto on Saturday vs. the Raptors 126-100. The Nets lost their last game out, allowing the final 22 points of the game to lose to the Clippers 125-114. A crazy ending to be honest. They won the game before 130-112 over the Lakers. I think Tuesday night will see a close game between these two NY teams. They know each other well, and both are playing 1/2 way decent ball right now. Both are top 5 rebounding teams, so we'll have to look elsewhere for advantages because I think they'll cross each other off in the paint. One area I'm looking at is the # of FG's attempted per game. The Nets are 4th, they really shoot the ball a ton, and get after it. They also attempt the 7th most 3-pointers per game. NY's #3 defense will be tested in this one. As will their depth. One positive for Brooklyn is over the last 5 games they've really stepped things up on the defensive side of the ball. Monitor Hartenstein's injury status for this one. He could miss this game with ankle soreness. Ben Simmons is still OUT for Brooklyn. Trends, NY are 3-9 SU L12 vs. Brooklyn, and they're 1-6 SU L7 on the road vs. the Nets. The Nets will get up for this game and they'll play NY tough on Tuesday night. Grab the +4.5 with the Nets. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Kentucky -4.5

Tuesday night at 7pm ET #6 Kentucky (14-3, 2-1 AWAY, 11-6 ATS, 4-1 SEC) take on South Carolina (15-3, 9-1 HOME, 13-5 ATS, 3-2 SEC) in college hoops action. UK are 8-2 L10. The rich got richer this week when UK got the green light from the NCAA to play Zvonimir Ivisic (7'2" Croatian Center). He played his first game on Saturday with the Cats, and tonight after a good practice session UK will try to utilize his strengths against the Cocks. (He had 13 pts in 16 minutes on Saturday) Kentucky secured a 105-96 victory against Georgia on Saturday but failed to cover as a 13.5-point favorite. South Carolina, a 2.5-point underdog, won 77-64 against Arkansas on the same day while covering the spread. Kentucky brings in one of the most talented teams in the nation and they have value on Tuesday. The Wildcats are built with such depth and we saw that in their latest game as they took down Georgia with a 105 point performance. This offense may be the best in the nation. Right now, they are averaging 91.6 ppg and they’ve scored under 80 points just once all season. They play with such speed and it’s a compliment of guys who can score in flurries. They had 5 players scoring in double figures against Georgia and they should find plenty of success once again here in South Carolina. This is going to be a case where South Carolina is just not built with enough firepower. While they’re off to a good start, they’ve sputtered in their start to SEC play at times. They’re only averaging 72.9 ppg which isn’t necessarily bad but it won’t be enough to compete with the Wildcats offense. Expect Kentucky to dictate the pace and put a ton of pressure on SC. This will be an overwhelming situation for the Gamecocks, who will struggle keeping up. This is a low number on just the better team. Trends, UK 7-2 ATS L9, 8-1 SU L9, 13-4 SU L17 vs. SC, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. SEC teams. On the other side SC are 1-7 ATS L8 games on a Tuesday at home, and 3-8 SU L11 in January. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Montana -1

Monday the Montana Grizzlies (12-6, 3-2 Big Sky, 7-2 HOME, 11-4 ATS) will host the Weber State Wildcats (12-7, 3-3 Big Sky, 3-4 AWAY, 8-8 ATS) at Dahlberg Arena, in Missoula, Montana, with the game starting at 9pm ET. The Grizzlies are the favored team by 1.5 points, and the over/under opened at 145.5. Montana has value here at home on Monday night. The Grizzlies come in the hotter team right now. Fresh off a road win over their rivals Montana State, they have now won 5 of their last 6 with the loss coming in overtime. During this stretch, they’ve scored under 80 points just 1 time and even then they dropped 76 points in a win. This team offensively is one of the most dangerous in the conference. They come in averaging nearly 80 ppg while they concede around the 71 point mark. Look for Aanen Moody to have a big game here. He's stepped up recently, producing performances of 16 and 19 in the last two contests. Overall, he’s putting up 15.4 ppg and has been the one to get this offense going. Weber State has dropped 3 of their last 4 overall and they just don’t have the offensive weapons that Montana produces. They’re going to struggle slowing the Grizzlies down and we should see Montana dictate the pace in this one. We’re getting the better team at a good number here. Trends, WST are 2-4 ATS L6, 2-4 SU L6 on the road, and 3-14 SU L17 on the road vs. Montana. MONT are 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 10-2 SU L12 at home, 14-3 L17 SU at home vs. Weber State, and lastly they're 4-1 L5 SU in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cavs -1.5

Monday 7:00pm ET, the Cavaliers (25-15, 10-7 AWAY, 21-17-2 ATS) will face the Magic (23-20, 14-6 HOME, 28-15 ATS) at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL. Opening NBA betting odds -115 for Cleveland and -105 for the Magic, with a point spread of Cleveland -1. The Over/Under betting total is set at 215.5. The Magic are playing game 2 of a B2B. Cleveland beat Atlanta on Saturday 116-95. The Magic beat the Heat on Sunday 105-87. Both teams have similar points per game averages, with the Cavaliers averaging 113.7 PPG (ranked 20th) and the Magic averaging 111.7 PPG (ranked 25th). Cleveland comes come in as a team that has covered 6 of their L7, has limited teams to 102 points or less in 6 of their L7, they're average margin of victory in the L3 games is 26.3 PPG. The season series is tied 1-1. Cavs won game 1 121-111 DEC 6 in Ohio, then on DEC 11 in Orlando the Magic won 104-94. Cleveland is red hot right now and they come in with tons of momentum. The Cavs have won 7 in a row and they’ve done it with great play at both ends of the floor. After blowing out Milwaukee, they went into Atlanta and demolished the Hawks holding them to just 95 points. It was the third straight game Cleveland’s defense has held the opposition to under 100 points. Cleveland continues to be without Mobley and Garland, but that hasn’t hurt this team as of late. They’re getting contributions all around and the bench is stepping up in a big way. Merrill was the latest to step up as he put up 18 points vs. ATL. That’s what this team continues to do is get production from so many different players. The likes of Niang, Porter Jr., and LaVert all continue to make big plays. Cleveland had the edge here as Orlando has been inconsistent at times this year. While they’re playing above what anyone predicted, the Magic still haven’t found a consistent groove. They give up 110 ppg on average and we’ve seen their defense struggle at times with fast teams like the Cavs. Cleveland should have the edge in tempo and really put Orlando out of their comfort zone on Monday. Trends, CLE are 6-1 ATS L7, 7-0 SU L7, 5-1 SU L6 vs. Magic, and 6-0 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams. Magic are 2-5 SU L7. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sixers -13.5

Monday night the (8-34, 5-18 AWAY, 20-22 ATS) Spurs visit the Philadelphia 76ers (28-13, 16-6 HOME, 27-14 ATS) for the first matchup between Embiid and Wemby. Tip off is at 7:10pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Spurs come into this one losers of 8 of their last 9, while the Sixers come in hot looking for their 6th straight W. Spurs come in off a win last game out 131-127 over fellow basement dweller the Wizards. Sixers come in off of a 97-89 win over the Hornets on Saturday. Not bad for a team missing 5 impact players. Philadelphia is rolling right now. Winners of 5 in a row, they’re back to their dominating ways and this is such a lopsided matchup. They have the edge in every which way against the Spurs entering play on Monday night. The Spurs have been abysmal defensively. Phili will be able to win the battle both inside and out against the Spurs. Embiid continues to put up MVP like numbers as well. He’s averaging 35 ppg and 11.4 rebounds and he is in zone right now. Given the Spurs issues defensively, Embiid should be able to dictate just about everything offensively and even create some open shooting lanes for his outside threats. Philadelphia is also stepping things up defensively. If it wasn’t already hard enough for San Antonio, the 76ers allowed just 89 points last time out and they’re going to force a lot of Spurs turnovers. This is a Phili team in such a good rhythm right now and they’re going to pick apart the Spurs Monday night. PHI comes into this one 6th in the NBA in scoring at 119.5 PPG. Spurs are 22nd (112 PPG). Sixers 8th on defense 111 PPG, Spurs are 26th on defense 121.5 PPG. Sixers are a top 5 team in the league in steals and blocks. Injury report: PHI - Beverley (Prob) Bamba, Springer (?). SA - Collins (?), Cissoko OUT. Trends, Spurs are 1-4 SU L5, 2-4 ATS L6 vs. PHILI, 1-8 SU L9 vs. Phili, and 3-17 SU L20 on the road. 76ers are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 10-3 ATS L13 at home, 6-1 SU L7 vs. Spurs at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Rockets +11

On Sunday at 7pm ET, it's the Boston Celtics (32-10, 12-9 AWAY, 21-19-2 ATS) vs. Houston Rockets (20-21, 16-6 HOME, 20-19-2 ATS) at Toyota Center, Houston, TX. Opening odds: Moneyline NBA Odds - Celtics -357 | Rockets +290, NBA ATS Betting Odds - Celtics -10.5, Total: 231. Boston meets Houston for the second time this season.

Rockets rank 21st offensively (113.0) and seventh defensively (112.5). Holiday & Horford are (?) to play today, Eason is OUT for HOU, and Bullock is (?). The Rockets have value here grabbing the points. Houston comes in with momentum as they took down the Jazz in overtime last night and now they return home catching a lot of points in this spot. Houston is a tricky team to deal with as they’re scrappy and can cause teams a lot of issues. They will force tough shots and can frustrate teams with their ability to close out on shooters. Boston is in a tricky spot here too. They fell to Denver last time out and then immediately after this have to jump on a plane to take on a Dallas team that is super tough. This has the making of a game where they overlook Houston. The Celtics may have an eye on tomorrow’s matchup more, which can allow Houston to keep this close. Boston will come out sluggish and this will be a game where Houston can steal some easy baskets and keep it close throughout. Trends, Celtics are 5-11 ATS L16 in JAN. HOU are 4-1 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Kansas State -8.5

We’re backing the Wildcats here, laying the points at home. Oklahoma State has hit a snag and this team is reeling right now. The Cowboys have lost 4 straight games and the last 3 have been absolute blowouts where they stood no chance from the outset. Even in one of those games they managed just 42 points against Iowa State. The Cowboys have struggled mightily away from home and they take on a Wildcats team that has momentum. Kansas State defeated Baylor in overtime in a game that will certainly pad their resume. They have been a force on the defensive end all season long, conceding just 67.4 ppg. They’re force tough shots and so many turnovers and this will be a game where they can really frustrate the Cowboys from the outset. Kansas State is one of the best teams in the conference at forcing turnovers and having those result in easy transition buckets the other way. Look for a lopsided game here all night long. OST 0-6-1 ATS L7, 1-4 SU L5, 0-5 ATS L5 vs. KST, 1-6 ATS L7 on the road, and 3-9 ATS L12 on the road vs. KST. KST 5-1 L6 ATS, 5-1 L6 SU, 8-2 ATS L10 in JAN. Trends, You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

St. John's +1.5

St. John’s returns home and they need the sight of their home court. They come in after catching fire, but then ran into two very tough road games. They return to their confines where they have had a ton of success. This team is built on depth and they’ll need that here. Rick Pitino may be back on the bench as well as he missed the Seton Hall game with COVID. The Red Storm need to get back to finding their consistency from the field. This team is at their best when they can find their rhythm early and that will turn their defense into offense for some easy baskets. They average nearly 78 ppg, which is still one of the best marks in the conference. Their 3 point shooting will also be a big key as they are one of the best at creating openings for their outside threats. Marquette has dropped 2 of 3 and they have had a couple issues at times away from home. They struggle finding their rhythm themselves early in away games and the Red Storm can use that to their advantage in this one. This is a big game for St. John’s to get back on track and right the ship. Look for them to come out firing in this one. Trends, MRQ 2-5 ATS L7 vs. STJ, 1-6 ATS L7 on the road vs. STJ. STJ 10-4 ATS L14, 10-4 SU L14, 7-0 SU L7 at home, 8-2 ATS L10 vs. BIG East teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Lakers -6.5

Friday night at 10:30pm ET from the Crypto.com Arena in LA its the Brooklyn Nets (16-24, 19-19-2 ATS, 6-14 AWAY) taking on the LA Lakers (22-21, 19-24 ATS, 16-7 HOME). These teams come in pretty even in the stats department. Lakers 18th (114 PPG) and 16th (115 PPG) in pts allowed. While Brooklyn is 19th (113 PPG) in scoring, and 17th (115 PPG) in pts allowed. Lakers have advantages on the defensive glass (3rd in the NBA) and in FG% (7th). The last time these two met was a 121-104 BRK win in Brooklyn on 1/30/23. Before that 11/13/22 a 116-103 LAL win. Los Angeles has figured some things out and they come in with momentum on Friday night. Los Angeles is winning games and they’re beating top teams even too now. They have beat the likes of the Thunder, Clippers, and even the Mavs as they continue to play some of their best basketball. They come in winners in back to back games and offensively they have things rolling. It was a 127 point performance last time out against the Mavs as they got contributions from a lot of different players. When they can get the likes of Russell or a Reaves stepping up to help Davis and Lebron, this team is extremely dangerous. They take on a Nets team that has had so many issues on both ends of the floor this year. The Nets give up nearly 116 ppg, while only scoring 113. Their offensive roll production has even gone down some this month as they have just been too inconsistent. With this being a case of two teams going in opposite directions, we’re getting good value on the Lakers here.Trends, the Nets are 1-11 ATS L12 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Plus they're 2-14-1 L17, 1-9 SU L10, 1-9 ATS L10 vs. WEST teams, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. Pacific DIV teams. Last one, the Nets are 1-9 ATS L10 playing on 1 day rest. On the other side the Lakers are 4-2 SU L6, and 7-2 SU L9 played on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Toledo -7

At 7pm ET from McGuirk Arena in , it's the CMU Chippewas (8-9, 4-2 HOME, 7-9 ATS) hosting the Toledo Rockets (11-6, 8-9 ATS, 4-1 AWAY). We’re on the Rockets here as they take on Central Michigan on Friday night. The Rockets have a clear cut advantage on both ends of the floor entering play. Looking at them offensively, they’re one of the most dangerous teams in the MAC. Toledo comes in averaging. 79.1 PPG and this team has shown the ability to light up the scoreboard inside and out. They’re led by Ra’Heim Moss, who has averaged 16.4 PPG this year. He’s off 18 and 24 point performances and should be able to find a lot of shooting lanes against this CMU side. The Chips give up near 74 PPG and have struggled with teams that play with this Toledo style. While they’ve been known for their offense in recent years, the Rockets are actually getting some good contributions on the defensive end. They’re off a 66 point performance against Buffalo and Central Michigan is not a dangerous offensive team. They only score 66.9 PPG and they have had issues with inconsistencies shooting from behind the arc. This is a nice line on the better team here. Trends, Toledo 5-0 SU L5, 5-0 SU L5 vs. CMU, 12-2 SU L14 on the road, and finally they're 19-1 L20 vs. MAC teams. CMU are 7-13 L20 ATS, are 1-5 ATS L6 when playing Toledo, and are 1-6 L7 playing on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Long Beach -2

Thursday at 10pm ET from the Walter Pyramid its Hawaii (10-7, 6-9 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) vs. LB State (11-7, 7-9 ATS, 4-1 HOME). Long Beach State has value laying a small number at home against the Rainbow Warriors on Thursday night. Long Beach State is going to welcome the site of their home court. They struggled in back to back road games and returning home is just what this team needs. LBSU’s offensive production should pick up here in this game. They average 80.7 ppg overall and those numbers tend to go up when they play at home. Messiah Thompson and Aboubacar Traore both will look to contribute what they did last time out as these two led the way for LBSU. This team is built to run and play with their depth. Long Beach State will lean on their speed and their ability to attack the rim. They will open up shooting lanes and should see a lot of production against a Hawaii defense that has had issues with teams that play with tempo. This is a good matchup for LBSU and their speed is just going to be too much for Hawaii in this one. Trends, UH 3-8 ATS L11, 2-5 SU L7, 3-6 ATS L9 vs. LBST. Lastly, UH are 3-7 L10 on the road vs. LBST. LBST is 8-3 SU L11, 6-1 SU L7 at home, and finally they're 7-3 ATS L10 playing on a Thursday @ home. I'm all over LB State on Thursday night.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

Jazz +4

OKC (27-13, 26-13-1 ATS, 11-8 AWAY) take on the Jazz (22-20, 26-16 ATS, 15-5 HOME) tonight in Salt Lake City, UT. Last time these two met was 12/11/23, a 134-120 OKC win in OKC. OKC covered the -13, and the total went OVER the 236. Jazz opened as a 3pt dog in this one. One of the hottest teams in the Association is a 4-point dog AT HOME tonight. I can't let this one slide. Utah catches the Thunder in a nice spot here. Oklahoma City will be playing the third away game in four nights which is never an easy thing. They also have dropped the first two games of this trip and come in on a low. The Thunder have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA this year. Just when you think they’re going to take off, they take a few steps back. Utah also comes in red hot. Winners of 6 in a row, the Jazz are starting to right their ship with their ability to attack. They have demolished the opposition at times during this run with their a unity to play with so much speed. It’s overwhelming the opponents and Sexton has been the biggest spark to this team. Utah has also got Kris Dunn stepping up as it’s been the depth that’s helped them turn things around as well. Utah is just of a well rounded team as the Thunder and given the Thunder’s issues lately and their inconsistencies, the value sits with the home side. We might get lucky and have SGA take the night off as well. Last night's GSW game was postponed, so this isn't a B2B for Utah. This is OKC's 3rd road game in the L4 nights. Trends, UTAH 6-0 ATS L6, 6-0 SU L6, 9-0 SU L9 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. WEST teams, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. NW Div. teams. Give me the Jazz on Thursday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Illinois -2.5

8:30pm ET Thursday night from the Crisler Center it's Illinois (12-4, 10-5-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) taking on Michigan (7-10, 4-4 HOME, 6-11 ATS). The Fighting Illini have value here laying the small number on the road. We actually backed Michigan on Monday afternoon against Ohio State and they cashed in a game where they dominated on the defensive end. Ohio State has lost a lot of their hot start and seeing Illinois here will be a whole different level for the Wolverines. They’re also going to get a very fired up Illinois side after they were knocked off by Maryland last time out. Illinois is a team that is just so good on both ends of the floor. They average 81.7 ppg, while conceding just 67.4 ppg. They’ve been able to control the paint on each end of the floor as everyone this team will grab rebounds. Their ability to not allow second chances and to get second chances of their own is what makes them so tough to handle. Michigan hasn’t been able to build off any wins this season as inconsistencies have burned them. The Wolverines are going to struggle with the length and physicality of the Fighting Illini, who will put an emphasis on getting off to a quick start. Illinois are 10-1-1 L12, 10-3 SU L13, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Michigan, and 6-0 SU L6 vs. Michigan. On the other side Michigan 1-6 ATS L7, 1-5 SU L6, 1-5 ATS L6 at home, 2-7 SU L9 vs. BIG 10 schools. I'm on the Illini Thursday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Auburn -11

Wednesday night Auburn (14-2, 10-6 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) taking on Vanderbilt Commodores (5-11, 7-9 ATS, 5-5 HOME) from the Memorial Gym in Nashville, TN. We’re on Auburn here, laying the points on Wednesday night. These are two teams just on different sides of the spectrum coming into play. Auburn has won 9 straight, most in dominant fashion. Vandy has dropped 3 straight entering play. Looking at Vanderbilt first, they’re a fade for a few reasons. They are one of the worst in the SEC on the offensive side, averaging just 68.1 ppg. Their inability to find consistency with their shooters has been costly and they struggle with turning the ball over. They have been far too careless with the basketball and the high pressure from the Tigers should result in many here. Vandy doesn’t have anyone that can really take a game over either. They lack that spark and that’ll be costly here. Auburn on the other hand has averaged 84.1 ppg. While their offense has been electric both inside and out, it’s really been the defense that has caused opposition issues. They concede just 65.7 ppg and they’re going to give Vanderbilt so many problems. Expect this game to be sloppy on Vandy’s side as they won’t be able to get many quality shots. Auburn should dominate the paint on both ends of the floor, resulting in a game that turns lopsided quickly. Trends, Auburn are 4-1 ATS L5, 9-0 SU L9, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. VANDY. Plus they're 5-0-1 L6 vs. SEC teams. Vandy are 1-7 SU L8, 0-6 L6 in JAN, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Florida State +7.5

Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, FL, it's the FSU Seminoles (10-6, 9-6-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) vs. Miami Hurricanes (12-4, 9-6-1 ATS, 9-1 HOME). We’re on the Seminoles here, grabbing the points. Florida State and Miami always provide some crazy games as this rivalry gets renewed here on Wednesday in a matchup where we get an FSU team that is playing with a ton of confidence. They have won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 as this team has started to click on all cylinders. The Noles average around the 76 PPG mark on the offensive side and defensively they’ve stepped things up. It’s been the timely stops and their ability to turn defense into offense that has made them so successful as of late. They will continue to lean on F Jamir Watkins, who is averaging 13.1 PPG. He seems to come up with some big shots and he has made everyone around him better. They matchup well with Miami, who has dropped 2 of 3, which includes an awful home loss to Louisville. This is a case of two teams trending in opposite directions right now. With this being a rivalry game too, expect a lot of pressure and physical play, in a game that should be close throughout. Trends, FSU 4-1 ATS L5, 6-1 SU L7, 5-2 ATS L7 vs. Miami, and 10-1 SU L11 vs. Miami. Miami are 2-6-1 L9 vs. ACC teams. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.
