Oklahoma State +1.5

We're on Oklahoma State (16-13, 14-15-0 ATS) at home here. Baylor (21-8, 15-13-1 ATS) comes in after their huge win over Texas on Saturday This quick turnaround to hit the road and take on a very tough Oklahoma State team is going to cause some issues. 

Oklahoma State is 11-4 at home and they've played extremely well in this building. Oklahoma State is right in the middle of the log jam with Baylor in the Big 12 standings. Look for them to come out with a purpose early and feed off this home crowd's energy, as they can catch Baylor in a bit of a lull with this quick turnaround.

Some trends to note, Cowboys are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games.  Bears are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

We're on the Pelicans (30-31, 28-33-0 ATS) on Monday night. They welcome in the Magic (25-36, 33-27-1 ATS) who have been a struggle on the road this season. Orlando is just 10-20 away from their home confines and the Pelicans matchup very well with them. 

New Orleans loves to play quick and the Magic don't have the weapons to keep up here.

Look for the Pelicans to get out and run early in this one, putting the Magic on their heels.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Monday 8* NBA ATS Play

Golden State  

We’re on Golden State laying the points here. Even while they await Steph Curry becoming healthy the Warriors continue to find a rhythm. They’re leaning on Klay Thompson and are getting contributions from many different players right now.  Minnesota has gone through a gauntlet of a stretch, and they do not match up well here.  This is a case where we are getting the better team with a small number.

Golden State has far too many weapons and Minnesota will have their issues defensively.   

Some trends to note. Warriors are 30-14-1 ATS in their last 45 home games. Timberwolves are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Golden State. 

Back Golden State.

Illinois has the value of laying the points.  It’s time to start fading Ohio state. The buckeyes have been an absolute mess as of late and they continue to struggle against even mediocre teams at this point. The buckeyes have been losing in every way and getting dominated left and right.  

This is the spot where we're getting a better team laying small number. Illinois is much more physical and is playing with far more confidence right now. Ohio State lacks many things on both ends of the floor in Illinois is simply not the team if you want to deal with right now. Look for them to impose their will early and control. Everything from start to finish. 

Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Fighting Illini are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Back Illinois.

This is a pure revenge game for the Zags.

They had the game won in St. Mary's a few weeks back, only to falter late. Gonzaga has been the class of the WCC for a while now, but the Gaels are starting to really even things up. This is a chance for Gonzaga to restore order. 

We've also seen the home team and favorite dominate this series. Coming into Saturday, the home team is 6-0-2 ATS in the last 8 games and the favorite has gone 3-1-2 ATS. Look for Gonzaga to push the tempo on St. Mary's and get them out of their rhythm.

Kent State -11

The Golden Flashes are worth the move on Saturday.

Kent State fell to Ball State earlier this week and now sit 2nd in the MAC. They have their chances here down the stretch to still capture the one seed. It starts here against a Bowling Green team that is just 17-36-2 ATS in their last 55 home games.

Clemson +6.5

This is too many points in this spot.

Clemson has continued to be a force in the ACC and they matchup well with NC State. The Tigers have the weapons to keep up here and potentially even steal this game outright.

Clemson comes in 10-4 ATS in their last 14 against teams with winning records. They tend to play up to the competition as well. NC State has also been a fade at home. Coming into Saturday, the Wolfpack are just 13-30-3 ATS in their last 46 home games.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Warriors -10

The Warriors have value here laying the points.

Houston is going to be in full tank mode here as the season continues as they sit near the bottom of the NBA record wise. They have been an ultimate fade from the start, failing to cover many times this season.

The road has been a mess for them. Houston is just 5-16 ATS in their last 21 road games and they do not matchup well here with Golden State. The Warriors have far too many weapons to compete with as they can score in bunches quickly.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up loss. Rockets are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Southern Miss comes into action a solid backing overall. They've covered in 7 of their last 10 games and they've hit in 9 of the last 13 against teams with losing records. 

Texas State has dropped 3 of their last 4 and they have had a ton of issues on the defensive end. They are one of the worst in the conference when it comes to slowing teams down and they're going to have their hands full with Southern Miss. 

Some trends to note. Bobcats are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games. Bobcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Southern Miss.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Atlanta -1 

We're on Atlanta here, at home. Cleveland fell to Denver last night, at home, as they had to deal with one of the toughest and most physical teams in the NBA. Denver wears teams down and because of that, we may even see Cleveland sit some starters here.

Even if they don't the Cavs have been a struggle on the road this season.  Atlanta is a tough team to deal with themselves. They play super quick and will push the tempo on everyone. 

Look for them to pick up the pace early on Cleveland and try to wear them down as the game goes on. 

Some trends to note. Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Cavaliers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes of the previous day.

Boston Celtics (42-17, 32-26-1 ATS) vs. Indiana Pacers (26-34, 31-29 ATS)

The Pacers have value grabbing this many points. Coming out of the break, it's no secret Boston Is going to be one of the front runners in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers have really played up to their competition as well. They come in 9-2 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

Denver +2.5

Denver Nuggets (41-18, 33-26 ATS) vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (38-23, 32-26-3 ATS)

The Nuggets have value grabbing the points. 

Cleveland has continued to keep their spot in the east as they are going to be a tough team when things are all said and done. However, Denver is not a team they matchup well with. 

The Nuggets have already knocked off the Cavs once this season and Jokic is in store for another huge game. The Nuggets lean on him and have so many weapons around that will cause this Cavs team issues.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Ohio State -2

The Buckeyes (11-16, 8-19 ATS) are worth a move here at this line.

Ohio State has been one of the most disappointing teams not just in the Big 10, but in the entire nation. They have struggled (1-9 L10) and will likely be sitting March Madness out unless they put together a huge run right now. 

It can start here against Penn State, who is just 2-7 in their on the road and 4-6 in their L10. The Nittany Lions (16-11, 14-11-2 ATS) have covered in just 1 of their last 5 road contests as well. The Buckeyes can expose the middle of the floor on each end of the floor where they should be able to control the paint. Penn State has issues with teams built like Ohio State and this one should be no different.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Nittany Lions are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Wisconsin +1.5

We're on the Badgers here, at home. 

The Badgers welcome in Iowa to a packed house in a huge Big 10 battle. Iowa just got completely dominated by a Northwestern team, that plays very similar to what Wisconsin does. The Badgers are going to wear this Iowa team down on both ends of the floor.

Look Wisconsin to turn up the physical play and really go right at the Hawkeyes in the paint.

Some trends to note. Hawkeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Hawkeyes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Vanderbilt -2.5

Vanderbilt (15-13, 14-14 ATS) is on a nice run right now. They come in winners of 5 straight as they are putting together a run at the perfect time. 

They are doing everything right during this winning streak. They're getting quality shots, controlling the paint, and really causing havoc on the defensive end. They catch LSU at the right time here as well. The Tigers (12-15, 8-19 ATS) have dropped 14 straight and their struggles have came from so many different directions. 

LSU lacks any sort of confidence right now and Vanderbilt can use that to their advantage here.

Some trends to note.Some trends to note, Vanderbilt are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games, 5-0 SU in their last 5 games, and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games on the road. LSU are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games, and 0-10 SU in their last 10 games, plus LSU is 0-7 SU in their last 7 games at home.

Air Force -2

Air Force is the move here. 

The Falcons welcome in Fresno State, who has been atrocious on the road. The Bulldogs are just 3-8 away from their own confines and have had issues getting any sort of momentum when playing on the road. 

Air Force has fed off teams with losing road records. The Falcons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games when playing teams with sub .500 road records. Look for them to come out of the gates firing early in this one, asserting themselves in the paint on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Falcons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS win. Falcons are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games overall.

Back Air Force.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -3.5

We're on Kent here, laying the points.

Kent State sits at the top spot in the MAC and they can really help their cause here against the 4th seeded Ball State Cardinals. 

Kent throttled Ball State earlier this season as the Golden Flashes are playing extremely well right now. They've been able to lean on their top scorers in Sincere Carry and Malique Jacobs and their defense is one of the best in the MAC. Look for them to continue their high pressured defensive ways and overwhelm Ball State.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 17-5 ATS in their last 22 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Golden Flashes are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Virginia Tech -2

The Hokies are worth a move here. 

Virginia Tech has a chance here to put a nice resume building win on their plates. They welcome in the ranked Hurricanes, who really have only slipped up on the road this season. They have seen 4 of their losses come away from home and have looked sluggish at times. 

Virginia Tech has covered 4 of their last 5 home games overall and have 2 of their last 3 entering Tuesday. They shoot the ball at a 48% clip, which ranks 39th in the entire nation. Their shot selection is one of the best and they will wear opponents down looking for the open shot.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

We're grabbing the points here on Monday night in the Louisville Cardinals (4-23, 11-16 ATS) vs. Duke Blue Devils (19-8, 10-17 ATS) matchup.

Over the last three games, the Cardinals have displayed a remarkable improvement, and they have successfully covered the spread in five out of their last six games, including a straight up WIN last game out versus fourth place Clemson. Plus, El Ellis has been scoring an average of 27.3 points per game over the last 3. Duke aims to secure their third consecutive victory and recently claimed a 77-55 triumph over Syracuse on the road last Saturday. They are undefeated at home.

Not saying the Cardinals win of course, but they'll play hard and keep it within the number. Play on the Cardinals +19.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State

The Horizon League is wide open this season and Cleveland State has been the surprise team. They sit tied for second with NKU as these teams battle it out on Sunday in Cleveland.

The Vikings are a solid 11-3 at home and have played exceptionally well. They dominated Wright State on Friday night and will look to cap off their home regular season portion with another huge win. 

The Vikings have so many different playmakers stepping up as they're beating teams with their inside and outside game. Combine that with their high pressured defense and they are a tough team to crack.

Some trends to note. Norse are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Norse are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Illinois-Chicago +1.5

3pm ET Valparaiso Beacons (10-17, 12-15 ATS) take on the Illinois-Chicago Flames (9-18, 14-11 ATS). Valpo comes in losers of 3 of their last 4, as have the Flames only defeating Evansville 70-61 back on Feb. 4th. The Flames are (6-7 at home this season) but 7-4-1 ATS at home this season.

Valparaiso has been scoring an average of 68.3 points per game, but their defensive efforts have been lackluster as they are allowing an average of 73.7 points per game. Valparaiso is 5-9 ATS on the road. Valparaiso are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games, are 2-11 SU in their last 13 games on the road, and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games played on a Sunday.

UIC are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games played on a Sunday, and they have been scoring an average of 66.3 points per game, but their defense has also been struggling, giving up an average of 72.3 points per game. Despite their defensive struggles, UIC has performed relatively well at home, preventing their opponents from scoring more than 70 points per game. 

This is a late release. When most zig, I'll zag, the public is backing Valparaiso, so we're on the other side. As a result, I'm expecting UIC to have a great chance containing Valparaiso's offense on Sunday to keep this one close.

Play on the Flames ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 6* LATE RELEASE ATS Play

NC State -2

The UNC Tar Heels (16-10, 8-18 ATS) take on the NC State Wolfpack (20-7, 12-13-2 ATS) today at 1pm ET at the PNC Arena. The Tar Heels come into this one 2-6 on the road. The Wolfpack are 13-1 at home straight up. 

On Jan 21, the first game between these two teams ended in a 80-69 victory for UNC in Chapel Hill. North Carolina, has been struggling with a 30.6 percent success rate in 3-point shooting, placing them last in the ACC.

NC State, with a record of 20-7 and 10-6, is about to embark on a three-game stretch at home. The Wolfpack's recent performance has been a mixed bag since entering the national rankings. They've won against BC but lost to #8 Virginia and Syracuse. 

Some trends to note, the Tar Heels are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The Wolfpack are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games. 

It is noteworthy that in these two teams' recent six meetings, the home team has won against the spread five times, AND the favorite has covered the spread in all four of the last four encounters.

Back the Wolfpack -2.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

BYU +10

This is too many points in here in this WCC matchup. 

BYU is a very gritty team. They will make you work extremely hard on both ends of the floor and really wear the opposition down. As the game goes on, you'll continue to see them go into the paint more and more. 

That will certainly cause this Gaels team a lot of issues, as they have had their hands full with teams who love. to attack the rim. Look for this game to turn into a grind, with BYU keeping it close throughout.

Some trends to note.  Cougars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Saturday games. Cougars are 36-17-1 ATS in their last 54 games following a ATS loss.

Back BYU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Providence -5

We'e on Providence over Villanova in this spot.

Providence is unbeaten at home this season, coming in with a perfect 15-0 mark. They've beaten teams with their dominant play inside and their ability to turn defense into offense.

Villanova just isn't the same team as they've been in the past. They are just 13-13 and have struggled ATS. Against winning teams, they are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 cases. Providence has a lot of momentum and will really be able to overwhelm the Wildcats in this one.

Some trends to note. Friars are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games overall. Friars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.

Providence has been very profitable and this is a nice spot for them.

Gamecocks +7.5

1pm ET the South Carolina Gamecocks (9-17, 13-13 ATS) take on the LSU Tigers (12-14, 8-18 ATS) in Baton Rouge. 

This is the equivalent of a crap sandwich, but for betting purposes it's great. There is a ton of value in betting on the Gamecocks, and that's what we're doing on Saturday. LSU is 1-12 in the SEC, have lost 13 consecutive games after a 2-pt loss to Georgia on Tuesday. December 28th is the last time LSU won a game.

The Gamecocks also defeated LSU 77-75 in February 2022. Recent statistics suggest that the Gamecocks could make this game more competitive than expected.

The Tigers are 2-9-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

Overall, LSU is still the stronger team (barely) and should win this game at home. However, the Gamecocks' recent ATS success on the road and their ability to keep games close suggest that they will cover.

Play on the Cocks +7.5

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Indiana -4.5

Indiana has the value here laying the points.

This is a prime bounce back spot. Indiana played abysmal in Northwestern earlier this week and yet found themselves tied with just seconds to go before allowing the go ahead bucket.

Now, they return home where they are nearly unbeatable. Indiana is 13-1 inside this building and they have beaten some top teams here. Look for them to get off to a fast start here, especially after burying themselves in Northwestern. 

Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hoosiers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Back Indiana.

This line opened at -3.5 in some locations, so we're getting better value now at -2 on Siena. Plus the favorite in this matchup is 11-5 ATS in their last 16 head to head.

The Bobcats come into this one losers of three straight, and have they've lost the last 5 of 6 versus Siena, and Siena has won 8 of their last 11 at home.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland State -1.5

We're on the Vikings here, laying the small number. 

Cleveland State (16-11, 13-12 ATS) continues to surprise everyone in the Horizon League. After losing their head coach and essentially their entire roster, they've built a solid season and are now poised to battle for one of the top spots in the Horizon League.

They took down Wright State (16-11, 15-10 ATS) on the road earlier this year and come in off a huge win over Youngstown State. They sit 10-3 inside the Wolstein Center and they've covered their last 5 games when playing a team with a winning record.

It's been someone new almost every night for them that steps up and look for that to continue today. This team is built with both a solid inside and out presence and they match up well with this Wright State side.

Some trends to note. Vikings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Vikings are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Loyola Marymount +8.5

We're on Loyola Marymount here with the points.

This team has been undervalued a bit here out in the WCC. They have gone 11-2 at home this season and have played some of the upper competition very tough. 

Gonzaga meanwhile does continue to find ways to win, but it hasn't been pretty.  They have played many games close and failed to cover some big spreads. This is going to be the kind of game where Loyola can feed off a big crowd in a small arena. It'll be loud and they'll be able to keep things close.

Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 6-19-3 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight up win. Bulldogs are 5-17-4 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Loyola Marymount.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Washington +3.5

We're on the Wizards, grabbing the points.

Washington has been a solid backing in this head to head series. Coming into Thursday, the Wizards have covered the last 6 meetings overall and have hit in the last 5 inside this arena.

The Wizards are a scrappy team that love to cause a lot of issues on both ends of the floor for the opposition. They'll be right in your face defensively and they aren't shy about attacking the rim. Look for them to push the tempo a bit on Minnesota, having them on their heels early.

Some trends to note. Wizards are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 road games. Wizards are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Washington.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Drexel PK

The UNCW Seahawks (18-7, 15-9 ATS) take on the Drexel Dragons (14-12, 14-11 ATS) Thursday in a 7pm tip-off in Philadelphia. UNCW & Drexel are both 6-4 in their last 10. 

Drexel comes into this matchup sporting an 8-3-1 ATS record at home, while UNCW is 6-5-1 ATS away. While this is a big game for both teams I just feel like breakout star Amari Williams presents a matchup problem for UNCW. Dynamic and versatile, he can do it all. He has the ability to create his own shots, and finish at the rim, and he's a tenacious defender. He can control this game.

Some trends to note, Seahawks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Drexel are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 home games, and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Head to head the home team is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 matchups.

If you can find it, we're seeing this line moving to a PK, grab that if you can!

Play on Drexel PK.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Long Beach State has struggled with a 1-5 record against the spread (ATS) in their last 6 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600 and a 1-8-1 ATS record in their last 10 games after a spread win.

Meanwhile, UC Riverside boasts a 13-5 ATS record in their last 18 games after a spread loss and a 13-6 ATS record in their last 19 games after a straight-up loss.

Bet the Highlanders -1

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday's 6* CBB ATS Play

Marquette -5.5

We're on Marquette, laying the points. 

Three of Xavier's losses this season have come on the road. They've had issues with teams that can play at their pace. Marquette is a prime example of that, putting up nearly 82 points per game. They can go toe to toe with Xavier's speed and shoot the ball 5th best in the entire nation.

Marquette has just one loss this season at home, as this is one of the toughest places to play in. Look for them to feed off the home crowd energy and get out of the gates early.

Some trends to note. Golden Eagles are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Golden Eagles are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win.

Back Marquette.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Michigan +1.5 (Love +2)

We're on Michigan here, grabbing the small number.

Michigan (14-11, 12-12-1 ATS) is going to have to start padding a resume sooner or later here. The Wolverines fell to Indiana by one and likely sit on the bubble right now looking in.

This is a spot where they matchup well with this Wisconsin (14-10, 10-14 ATS) side. Michigan is just physical, if not more than the Badgers. They can go toe to toe with them in the paint and should be able to dictate a lot around the rim. 

The Underdog has also dominated this series. Over the last 24 meetings,  we've seen the underdog cover 17 times. Some other trends to note. Wolverines are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games following three or more consecutive home games. Wolverines are 38-16-2 ATS in their last 56 games following a ATS loss.

Back Michigan.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Raptors -6.5

We're on Toronto here laying the points.

Toronto has dominated this head to head series as of late. Coming into play on Tuesday, they have gone 11-4 ATS in the last 15 head to head meetings. Combine that with them going 7-2 ATS in the last 9 meetings here in Toronto and there is plenty of value. 

The Raptors are a sneaky good team on both sides of the ball. They can score with just about anyone and their ability to attack the rim is one of the best in the league. 

Some trends. to note. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Magic are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics +4

This pick was made before news of Tatum's injury (+4), so use that information as you see fit. If given the chance, I would grab the line at +8, +8.5, or +9. The Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks, two of the NBA's strongest teams, will face off on Tuesday night.

The Celtics have a good chance of winning as they have a 6-0-1 ATS record in their last seven meetings in Milwaukee. Despite missing some key players, the Celtics are still a formidable team and are currently on a four-game winning streak.

In their last match-up on Christmas Day, the Celtics won 139-118 at home. Overall, the Celtics have a 25-10-1 ATS record in their last 36 meetings.

Strange things happen in the NBA, this could be one of those nights.

Play the Celts (SMALL) ATS.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 6* NBA ATS Play

Providence +2.5

On Tuesday, #18 Creighton (17-8, 12-13 ATS) will face #24 Providence (18-7, 15-10 ATS) in Rhode Island as they aim to continue their ascent in the Big East standings. Creighton has won eight consecutive games.

Meanwhile, Providence fell to fourth place after a 73-68 loss to St. John's on Saturday, holding an 18-7 record and a 10-4 conference record. With a really tough loss versus St. John's last game out I expect the Friars to come out with some intensity tonight.

Bluejays are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Friars are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Friars are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games overall. Head to head the Underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

We're on Providence tonight. Grab the points.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play

Utah Jazz 

We're on the Jazz here, grabbing the points.

Utah is a gritty team that can cause a lot of issues in so many ways.  They can shoot the ball with the best and they have the players that can attack the rim. 

The Pacers have been a nice fade as of late, going just 4-11 ATS in their last 15. They've been very inconsistent, especially against teams that play with a quick pace. Look for Utah to push the tempo here, really putting Indiana out of their comfort zone.  

Some trends to note. Pacers are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss. Pacers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS loss.

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

The Atlanta Hawks, with a record of 5-5 in their past 10 games (29-28, 14-17 on the road, & 26-31 ATS), continue to demonstrate the potential for a breakthrough.

They have another opportunity to prove their upward trajectory Monday night when they face the host Charlotte Hornets, who have a 2-8 record in their last 10 games (15-43, 7-18 at home, & 23-32-3 ATS). Defense will also be in play on Monday as the UNDER has been dominant in the past 14 head-to-head matchups in Charlotte, boasting a record of 12-2. 

The Hornets will give the Hawks a run for their money in this game, especially as there is a touch of revenge to it (the Hornets beat the Hawks 122-118 on January 21st). In the previous season, the two teams matched up four times with each team winning two games.

Some trends to note, the Atlanta Hawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest, and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. On the other side the Hornets are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games overall, and 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss.

Play on the Hawks -5

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 6* Free NBA Play

Play on North Carolina -4.5.

Miami Hurricanes (20-5, 5-4 on the road, 15-10 ATS, 7-3 L10) take on the North Carolina Tar Heels (16-9, 11-1 at home, 8-16-1 ATS, 6-4 L10) on Monday.

Tonight's matchup is not a friendly location for the Canes. They have not recorded a victory since 2018 in Chapel Hill. The Hurricanes are facing a determined and driven team in the Tar Heels, who are playing with a sense of urgency to secure their place in the Madness. 

Trends to note, Tar Heels are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, 15-1 SU in their last 16 games at home, and 5-1 SU in last 6 games when playing Miami.

We're on the Tar Heels -4.5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NCAAB ATS Play

Wichita State -6.5

The Shockers have value laying the points at home. 

Wichita State has been one of the best defensive teams in the conference heading into Sunday. They are giving up just 66.7 points per game, which ranks in the top tier in the nation as well.

SMU has struggled as of late as this team lacks a true scorer who can take control. Look for them to have a lot of issues here as this Shockers defense is suffocating. 

Some trends to note. Shockers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Shockers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Wichita State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kentucky 

Thunder +3.5

Oklahoma City has value here with the points. 

The Thunder have dominated this head to head series. Coming into play, OKC has gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games in this building. Combine that with them covering the last 6 head to head contests and this is a nice spot for them. 

These two teams play a similar style and we should see this be a back and forth game all night long. With how well the Thunder are playing right now, grabbing points with them is valuable.

Some trends to note. Thunder are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Thunder are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Milwaukee -6.5

The Bucks have value here laying the number.

The Lakers season was pretty much summed up last time out against the Thunder. They saw Lebron James take over the scoring title, but also fell to the Thunder in the process. They sit 5 games under the .500 mark and are in a world of trouble once again as they failed to obtain their key guy here at the trade deadline in Kyrie Irving.

Milwaukee is just too power for this team. The Bucks can come at you with so many different weapons and they should be able dictate the pace of play on both ends of the floor.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Pepperdine +8

We're on Pepperdine here, grabbing the points.

BYU comes in just 2-4 in road situations as they've had issues playing away from their confines.  It's been a combination of a few things, but they've struggled to put together complete performances from start to finish on the road.

Pepperdine is a tricky team to deal with as they can come at teams in spurts. Look for them to establish their presence inside on both ends of the floor early in this one, putting a lot of pressure on BYU.

A trend to note. The Underdog is 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

Back Pepperdine.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Toledo +2.5

This is a let down spot for Akron.

After beating their rivals, Kent State, and taking the lead in the MAC, they welcome in a very tough Toledo team. Nobody is talking about the Rockets, who sit right behind Akron and Kent in the standings. 

Toledo plays quickly and has so many weapons offensively can that can cause issues. Look for them to spread the floor and control the pace here, as they can get Akron scrambling on the defensive end.

Some trends to note. Rockets are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Rockets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Toledo.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Miami -2.5

We're on the Hurricanes, laying the points here.

Duke comes in off an emotional win over North Carolina last time out. The quick turnaround to now have to go into Miami and take on a very physical team is not going to be easy. The Hurricanes are undefeated at home this season, while Duke is just 2-4 on the road. 

Combine that with Miami going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and there is a lot of value here with the Canes. Duke has struggled to cover the number themselves, coming in just 1-6 ATS in their last 7.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Blue Devils are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

76ers -5.5

The 76ers have just a single loss in their last ten games and had the day off Saturday following another win the night prior. They've covered the spread in six of their previous eight outings. Philadelphia is allowing the fourth least points in the league while putting up the eleventh most points on offence.

The Knicks are coming off an OT loss to the Clippers Saturday night and have lost against the spread in three of their last four games.

Some recent trends to note, the Knicks have only covered the spread four times through their last thirteen games at Madison Square Garden. The 76ers have taken 10 of their previous 11 games in New York and have covered in six of their most recent eight games this season.

Play on the 76ers -5.5 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Houston -11.5

The Cougars are going to come out with a lot of fire here. 

Houston was upset by Temple earlier this season in a game that almost seemed like a complete fluke. The Cougars shot horribly throughout and had nothing going at the rim. 

Flipping the script here, the Cougars have covered in 7 of the last 8 road games. They have plenty of momentum on their side as well, coming in off wins in 3 straight since that loss. Look for them to try and make a statement early on here and assert their presence.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 24-11 ATS in their last 35 games overall. Cougars are 42-20 ATS in their last 62 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kentucky -5

The Wildcats are turning the tides on their season and it couldn't have come at a better time. 

Kentucky has won 5 of their last 6 as they continue to try and pad their resume for the month of March. They've been able to flip the script thanks in large part to their ability to put the clamps down defensively. They're getting some timely stops and overall are holding the opposition to low shooting percentages. 

They matchup well with Florida, who has struggled at times on the offensive end. Kentucky will turn up the pressure, especially early, trying to set the tone.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Indiana -1

We're on the home side here in this Top 25 matchup. 

Indiana will have a capacity crowd ready to rock here as they welcome in the number 1 team in the nation. Indiana has been superb at home this season and they are in the midst of playing some of their best basketball of the season despite throwing up a clunker at Maryland. 

The Hoosiers have covered in 19 of their last 28 home games overall and they make things miserable for opposing teams here. Averaging 78 points per game this season, Indiana has the playmakers to go toe to toe with just about any team.

Some trends to note. Hoosiers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hoosiers are 19-9 ATS in their last 28 home games.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Green Bay +4.5

We're on Green Bay with the points.

IUPUI and Green Bay are two of the worst teams in the entire nation, so don't expect much in this matchup. With that in mind though, grabbing the points is worth the move in this case.

IUPUI has been one of the worst programs in the recent years and laying any sort of points with them is just a tough thing to do. Green Bay does have just 2 wins themselves, but one of those was against this IUPUI team by 7. 

Look for a slowly played game that should be close throughout as neither of these teams have the capabilities of blowing anyone out.

Some trends to note. Phoenix are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Phoenix are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game.

Back Green Bay.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Atlanta +1.5

We're on the Hawks here on Friday.

Atlanta has become a team nobody wants to see. They play so quickly and with the amount of scorers they have, they have been able to really overwhelm teas. 

The Hawks have also been solid when it comes to covering the number. Coming into Friday, they have covered 6 of the last 7 games when playing on 1 day of rest. This team is built for situations like this as they have a solid mix of a youth core with vets.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games. Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Back Atlanta.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Raptors -7.5

The Raptors look to bump a two-game skid as they visit the worst team in the Western Conference. While they've struggled on the road this season, their offensive rating ranks 8th in the league.

The Rockets look to be in full tank mode this season with a 13-38 record through 51 games this season. They rank dead last in the league at home when it comes to offensive rating, while sitting 19th in defensive rating at the Toyota Center. Houston also sits last in field goal percentage while slotting in second-last in terms of three-point percentage.

Some trends to note, Houston will be without their two top scorers in Jalen Green and Kevin Porter Jr. again for this match-up. The Rockets lose by an average of 7 points in the underdog role.

Play on the Raptors -7.5 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 6* NBA ATS PLAY

Bucks -4.5

Yes the Clippers have won six of their previous seven games but their strength of schedule during that period hasn't been that impressive. As of February 1st, just a single team out of those past six wins has a winning record in the Mavericks. On the road, they're sporting a 15-14 record this season.

Milwaukee enters with wins in five straight that includes a victory over the best team in the Western Conference in the Denver Nuggets. Going back a bit further, the Bucks have picked up victories in seven of their previous eight. Giannis Antetokounmpo has averaged 37.4 points and 13.8 rebounds during their five-game win streak.

Some recent trends to note, the Bucks have a 21-5 record at home where they've recently gone 10-2 straight up and 8-4 against the spread in their last 12 games in Milwaukee.

Play on the Bucks -4.5 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Oklahoma -3.5

We're on the Sooners here, laying the points. 

This rivalry has been dominated by the home side and the favorite in recent meetings. Coming into play on Wednesday, the Home team is 21-8-1 ATS in the last 30 meetings and the favorite is 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.

The Sooners come in off their most impressive game of the season as well, where they thrashed #2 Alabama. This team has the confidence right now and will have the home crowd's energy behind them.

Some trends to note. Cowboys are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games.

Back Oklahoma.

Good Luck, Razor ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Houston +6.5

We're on the Rockets with the points.

Oklahoma City is getting a ton of public exposure. They have been on a nice run covering games and they're just driving the number up.

Houston and Oklahoma City are very similar in dynamic on both sides of the ball. This should be a very evenly played game with both teams looking to dominate the paint. Grabbing this many points, with the home factor is valuable. 

Some trends to note. Thunder are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Thunder are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Houston.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers +3.5

We're on the Lakers here grabbing the points.

Inside MSG, the Lakers stars will certainly want to show out. In particular, Lebron James is going to be on his top tier entering Tuesday. He sat out Monday and is expected to play here on Tuesday night.

James is averaging over 30 points per game and 8.5 rebounds per contest as he is not showing one sign of slowing down. Look for the Lakers to have a chance to steal this one outright, as the Knicks have been extremely inconsistent this season.

Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Lakers are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

Back the Lakers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland -6.5

We're on the Cavs here laying the points.

Cleveland is a totally different team at home. They have been one of the best in the NBA on their home floor, beating teams on both sides of the ball. 

They come in 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 home affairs and they typically are a good bounce back spot. They have covered in their last 5 games following an ATS loss.

Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Cavaliers are 6-1-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -4.5

We're on the Pelicans here, laying the points. 

New Orleans has been a solid team at home this season. They come in 17-8 and they've fed off lower tier teams. Coming into Saturday, the Pelicans are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

New Orleans pace of play is going to cause so many issues for the Wizards. Washington ranks near the bottom in many defensive categories and their issues stem from allowing far too many open looks. 

Some trends to note. Wizards are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in New Orleans. Wizards are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Washington has had so many issues in this head to head matchup as well. The value sits with the home side.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

10* *RARE* Top Play

Indiana -4.5

The Hoosiers have tremendous value here.

Ohio State does come in off a win, but this team still has a lot of flaws following their 5 game losing streak. They have been abysmal on the road as well. Entering Saturday, the Buckeyes are just 1-5 on the road. 

Indiana is always a tough environment to play in as they feed off the home crowd energy. The Hoosiers are also 11-5 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Look for Indiana to get off to a fast start and have Ohio State reeling in the early going. We've seen the home team dominate this head to head series, covering in 12 of the last 14 matchups.

Some trends to note. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Buckeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 10* CBB ATS TOP PLAY

Florida Gators +4.5

The Gators are worth the move here, grabbing the points.

Florida has been a profitable team as of late. They come in covering their last 5 games overall and have hit in their last 4 road contests.

Florida leans heavily on their defense, which is one of the best in the conference. They allow just 65.1 points per game as their suffocating defense typically won't give up many 2nd or 3rd chances for opposing teams. 

Look for Florida to turn this into a grind of a game, which is a very different style that the Wildcats do not want to play in.

Some trends to note. Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Gators are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Xavier +5.5

This is too many points in this spot. 

Xavier is being undervalued a lot here as this team has proven they can compete with just about anyone. They come into play with just 4 losses and knocked off a very good Connecticut team last time out.

They sit 8th in the entire nation, averaging 84.0 points per game. They aren't shy about hoisting up quick shots and have the ability to score in bunches. Creighton allows opposing teams to shoot 43% from the field and this Xavier side will feed off of that.

Some trends to note. Underdog is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings. Musketeers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Xavier.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kent State -11.5

Kent is in a nice bounce back spot here on Friday. After getting a lot of national attention, they fell to lowly Northern Illinois on the road Tuesday night.

Kent State is still the best in the MAC and they have remained undefeated at home this season. They also have been profitable bouncing back after a loss. They have covered 4 of their last 5 games in such situations. 

With so many different scoring weapons, Kent should be able to dictate a lot here on Friday.

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 home games. Golden Flashes are 25-8-1 ATS in their last 34 games overall.

Back Kent State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Milwaukee -7.5

The Bucks have value here laying the points. 

Milwaukee has picked up steam and they are playing some solid basketball right now. They come in winners in 4 of their last 5 as they're turning things up significantly on the offensive end. 

They also have fared well in this head to head series. Coming into play on Friday, they have covered in 4 of the last 5 matchups. They matchup very well with the Pacers, who don't have the defensive efforts to slow this team down. Look for Milwaukee to get out and run on Indiana, who ranks near the bottom in many defensive categories. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -8

The Celtics have value here laying the number.

Boston has far too much firepower for New York. The Knicks come in off a win over Cleveland, but they've failed to cover in 4 of the last 5 games overall. 

Boston meanwhile continues to set the pace in the East. They rank 2nd in the entire league in total offense, as they can hurt teams from just about anywhere on the floor. Look for them to assert their dominance in the paint early, opening shooting lanes everywhere behind the arc.

Some trends to note. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Knicks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -3

The Warriors have value at home here.

These two teams have a very big difference in records when it comes to playing at home versus on the road. 

Golden State has been dominant here in San Fran as they continue to rack up wins. They come into play 20-3 at home, which sits at the top of the NBA. Meanwhile, the Grizzlies are a sub .500 team away from Memphis and have had a ton of issues. Golden State has bounced back following losses as well, covering 11 of the following 16 times. 

Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Lakers +4

We're on the Lakers here grabbing the points.

The Lakers have had their moments here in the 2022-2023 season as they come in off a very impressive win over Portland last time out.

When healthy, offensively they can put up some points in a hurry. They matchup well with the Clippers who have been extremely inconsistent this season. The Lakers can go toe to toe with them on both sides of the ball and should be able to really control the paint.

Some trends to note. Clippers are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Clippers are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games overall.

Back the Lakers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Bucks -11

We're on the Bucks here laying the points.

Detroit is going to battle Houston for the bottom spot in the NBA Lottery when it's all said and done. This team is super young and the injuries they've endured have set them up to have major struggles on both sides of the ball.

Milwaukee is simply too powerful for them. The Bucks have a wide variety of weapons, both inside and out, that can score quickly. Look for them to come out of the gates firing and really have this Pistons defense on their heels. 

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Youngstown State -3.5

We're on the Penguins here in this huge Horizon League battle.

Youngstown State and Milwaukee are in the group that sits amongst the top of the Horizon League. The crammed top of the standings will likely be separated here as we will get a lot of the teams playing each other like this.

Youngstown State is one of the toughest teams to stop in the league. They are averaging nearly 85 points per game and they are shooting at the 5th best clip in the nation. 

They are far too powerful for this Milwaukee side. Look for them to play at a very quick tempo and have them on their heels in this one. The Panthers simply are not built to play at this fast of a pace.

Back Youngstown State.;

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Ohio State

We're on the Buckeyes here, at home Saturday.

Ohio State is going to have to kick it into gear. This Buckeyes side has dropped five straight and they sit at the bottom of the Big Ten. With January winding down, they have to figure some things out here and start padding their resume for March.

This Iowa side would give them momentum and a good win as they continue to climb up the standings themselves. After a sluggish few weeks, Iowa has rattled off 4 straight wins themselves. 

Ohio State will put an emphasis on the defensive end and turning defense into offense. They are at their best when they can force turnovers or tough shots that lead to fast break points.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Kansas -6.5

We're on Kansas here as they continue their extremely hard run on their schedule. 

They'll welcome another opponent in the Top 25, as #13 TCU comes to Kansas. Both teams are looking to rebound after mid week losses. Kansas has continued to play physical opponents in games that have seemed to come right down to the wire. That will actually benefit them here as this 'TCU team is extremely physical and comes right at you. 

Kansas ranks near the top of the Big 12 in points per game, putting up nearly 78. They have a few 3 point shooters, but a majority of their game is going to be played inside and on the boards. They matchup well with TCU, as they will be able to really crash the offensive glass and work for 2nd and 3rd chances.

Back Kansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Northern Kentucky -4.5

We're on NKU here laying the points at home. 

Cleveland State started their campaign by losing to a Division 2 team. Things have improved for the Vikings drastically, but this Northern Kentucky side is far too good for them in this matchup.

NKU is a solid 9-2 in home situations and they are one of the best in the conference on the defensive side of the ball. Coming into play, they have given up just 64.5 points per game. That actually ranks in the top tier in the entire nation. Look for their high pressure defense to simply be too much for the Vikings here on Thursday. 

With home court and the advantages on both sides of the ball, the value sits with the home side.

Back Northern Kentucky.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

TCU +2

We're on TCU with the points.

West Virginia doesn't have the same firepower as we've seen in the past. They've had issues on both ends of the floor this season and they don't matchup well with this TCU side.

The Horned Frogs are a very physical side that loves to attack the rim. West Virginia struggles with teams who like to work the ball inside and that will cause them a ton of issues on Wednesday night. Look for TCU to assert themselves with post play early, setting the tone for this one.

Some trends to note. Horned Frogs are 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Horned Frogs are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games.

Back TCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Milwaukee -4.5 

We’re on the Bucks here laying the number.

Milwaukee catches Toronto in a nice spot here. The Raptors how do you play in a hard fought overtime game last night in New York. Now Toronto my shift their focus to a much more physical team in the Bucks.

Milwaukee comes in with momentum winners over the Pacers last time out as they put up 132 points. 

This will be a game where the box try to assert themselves early and look to control the paint on both ends of the floor. Expect Milwaukee’s physical play and length to be an issue. With the amount of weapons they have, this has the makings of a game where they can dictate a lot.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 0 days rest. Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Milwaukee. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play 

Kansas -1.5

We’re on the Jayhawks (16-1, 5-0 Big 12) in this rivalry affair. 

Kansas comes in with just one loss of the season as they continue to find ways to win games late. That  that figures to be important here is this one could come down to the wire as well. 

Kansas not only has the playmakers to hit big shot, but they also have the ability to crash the boards and come up with some big offensive rebounds. That’s been the key as of late for them as they’ve come up with some huge rebounds and are able to get the second and third chances at the rim. 

Look for them to go right at Kansas State (15-2, 4-1 Big 12) in a game that will turn into a grind it out kind of mode. It’s such situations, these kind of games will always favor Kansas. 

Some trends to note. Kansas is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games when playing Kansas State, and 6-1 SU in its last 7 games when playing on the road against Kansas State. Wildcats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss. Head to head the favorite is 37-14-2 ATS in the last 53 meetings.

Back Kansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Memphis -10.5

We're on Memphis here, laying the points.

Memphis has been absolutely scorching at home this season as they continue to dominate in every which way. It stems from a few different factors, but this team has one of the top offenses in the NBA. 

They will have plenty of success against the Suns on Monday, who continue to battle injuries and have had issues keeping up with top tier teams.

Memphis can assert themselves early and control the tempo of this game, putting Phoenix on their heels right from the opening tip.

Some trends to note. Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win. Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.

Lay the points. Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Sacramento Kings -7

The Kings have value laying the number. 

The Spurs are just not the same kind of team that they've been in the past seasons. They are one of the youngest teams in the NBA and they've shown plenty of flaws here in the 2022-2023 season. In their latest contest, the Warriors absolutely took it to them, piling up 144 points. 

This Spurs defense is one of the worst in the NBA and the Kings matchup very well here. Sacramento plays with extreme pace, something this Spurs side has issues with. Look for this game to be played with extreme tempo, causing a lot of issues for San Antonio.

Some trends to note. Kings are 13-4 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Kings are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Philadelphia -4

We're on the 76ers Saturday night in Utah. 

The Jazz will be playing in the 2nd leg of their back to back and this is not the team you want to see in this situation. 

Philadelphia plays with a lot of tempo and they will attack the rim. With fatigue being a factor here for Utah, this will be a huge issue for Utah defensively. Along with that, the Jazz have become very inconsistent on both sides of the ball. With their youth core, it's given them a lot struggles. Philadelphia's veteran presence will really show here on Saturday night.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. 76ers are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clemson -1.5

The Tigers have value at home on Saturday. 

Duke has been a completely different team on the road versus at home. They have struggled at times on both sides of the ball when playing away and this Clemson team is very physical. They matchup well with Duke as they have the inside presence to control the paint on both ends. 

Clemson also is 9-0 in home situations coming into Saturday. They will feed off this home crowd energy and have Duke on their heels early in this one.

Some trends to note. Tigers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Tigers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Clemson.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Youngstown State -3.5

The Penguins have value here laying the small number.

This Youngstown State team is deep. They come in winners in 6 of their last 7 and they've picked up a lot of steam as of late. Offensively, they are one of the best in the Horizon League and also their offensive numbers sit near the top in the entire nation. 

Coming into Saturday, the Penguins are putting up 84.9 points per game, which ranks 8th in the nation. Look for them to put their foot on the gas early against an Oakland team that simply does not have the firepower to keep up.

Some trends to note. Penguins are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Penguins are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.

Back Youngstown State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

IUPUI +12.5

We're rolling with IUPUI and the points. 

Cleveland State is not a team that will blow many other teams out. They took on a lowly Green Bay team last week and managed to sneak away with just a 5 point win. The Vikings aren't a team that will overwhelm very many. 

Look for this game to turn into a very slow grind. That will play into the favor of IUPUI, who plays at a very slow tempo. 

Some trends to note. Vikings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Jaguars are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games.

This is a fade play on Cleveland State.

Back IUPUI.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play

Pelicans -4.5

We're on the Pelicans laying the points here. 

New Orleans has a nice young core with a mix of veterans that has given this team a nice start to the season. They love to play quick and can keep pace with just about anyone in the league. 

They matchup extremely well with the Pistons, who are well on their way to battle for the top pick. The Pelicans have fared well in this head to head series, covering the spread in 8 of the last 10 meetings between the two sides. Look for them utilize their speed and get out in transition, where they are at their best. 

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Pelicans are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back the Pelicans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Yale +2.5

We're on the Bulldogs here on the road. 

Yale has been a very profitable team, especially on the road. They come into Friday 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road contests. 

Yale and Cornell figure to be battling it out near the top of the Ivy League and they always tend to provide some solid, close matchups. That favors us here with the points, where Yale can very much take this game outright. They rank 8th in the entire nation when it comes to defensive points against and will lean on that here Friday.

Some trends to note. Big Red are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Bulldogs are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games.

Back Yale.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* CBB ATS Play

Boston Celtics 3

We're on the Celtics here on Thursday night in Brooklyn.  

This has the makings of a statement game. Two of the projected top teams in the East will clash here and both sides will be looking to get an edge on the other mentally with a win. Boston is just too talented top to bottom. They match up well on both ends of the floor with this Brooklyn team, who has shown some inconsistencies here in the first part of the season.  

Boston ranks 2nd in total offense and comes in as one of the best shooting teams in the league. They are just so tough to keep up with and their high pressure defense will give Brooklyn all they can handle.  

Some trends to note. Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Celtics are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. 

Back Boston. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9" NBA ATS Play

Youngstown State PK 

We're on the Penguins here Thursday night in Detroit.  

Youngstown State is catching some fire as they sit with 12 wins on the year and come in after a 105 points performance. This offense is one of the best in the conference, as they can hit teams both with their shooters or inside presence.  

Detroit has been one of the worst in the nation on the defensive end and this Penguins' offense is going to be able to pick them apart. Look for YSU to push the tempo on the Titans and really look to find open shooting lanes for their shooters in transition. 

Some trends to note. Penguins are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games. Penguins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 

Back Youngstown State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Milwaukee +1

The Bucks are a nice number here on Wednesday. 

Milwaukee comes in off a win against the Knicks, a game where they bounced back in a big way on the defensive end. Milwaukee got some key stops down the stretch and turned their playmakers that produced as well. 

This team is very deep and has a lot of weapons can cause issues for the opposition. Atlanta struggles on the defensive end, which gives a very big edge to the Bucks. Look for Milwaukee to push the tempo on Atlanta and really have them on their heels.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. Hawks are 8-24 ATS in their last 32 games following a ATS win.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Duke -7.5

We're on Duke here, laying the points. 

Duke has been a completely different team at home versus on the road. They come in a perfect 8-0 in such situations and have played much better basketball on both sides of the ball. 

The Blue Devils come into Tuesday one of the best in the nation on the defensive side, which has been a huge key to their success. Duke has averaged just 62.5 points against per game, which is one of the tops in the nation. Look for them to continue their high pressured defensive ways here against Pitt, who is already a low scoring side as it is.

With the home crowd and the energy Duke plays with here, the value sits with them on Wednesday night.

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kent State  

The Golden Flashes have value here at home. 

This is a huge test for Kent State as they look to make a statement in the MAC early. Toledo figures to be right near the top with Kent State when it's all said and done and the Golden Flashes look to continue their solid run. Kent State has handled Western Michigan and Miami Ohio, two of the lower teams in the MAC. It's been a theme for Kent to play down to their competition, but they also tend to play up to their competition as well.  

We've seen Kent give Houston and Gonzaga a run for their money already and they're trying to continue their trek up the Net standings.  

This is the kind of game where Sincere Carry and Malique Jacobs are going to step up and Kent's high pressure defense will be the difference in this one. 

Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 21-7-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall. Golden Flashes are 17-6 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win. 

Back Kent State. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play 

Milwaukee PK

The Bucks are the move here at a pickem. 

Milwaukee is probably the most complete team in the Eastern Conference, but lately they have had some issues on the defensive end. However, it does work in our favor as we get them at this kind of price. 

The Bucks are a team that typically bounces back big too. After a bad loss last time out to Charlotte, this is a game where they will come out with some fire. Look for them to push the tempo on the Knicks as New York has been one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to slowing down the opposition in transtion.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Bucks are 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in New York.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Chicago +8.5

We’re on Chicago here, with the points. This Bulls team is starting to become one of those teams you don’t want to see. They play a very aggressive style on both ends of the floor and they have playmakers who can shoot it. 

Coming into Monday, the Bulls have won 3 in a row against very good competition. They’ve been able to put up over 120 in all three wins, getting some big point totals from numerous guys. 

They do matchup well with Boston in some capacity, as they can match the scoring pace with this Celtics side. 

Some trends to note, Bulls are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and Celtics 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Head to head Bulls are 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Boston.

Look for Chicago to keep this one close throughout. Back Chicago.

Good luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 6* NBA ATS Play

Loyola Marymount -3

We're on Loyola Marymount in this one. 

San Francisco nearly took down the Gonzaga Bulldogs in a game that went down to the wire on Thursday night. However, a late layup at the rim cost them a shot at one of their biggest wins and now they have to shift gears to a totally different style.

They are going to struggle with the physical play Loyola plays with. They play high pressure defense and do not allow many second chances. 

Some trends to note. Dons are 5-11-1 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Dons are 6-20 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS win.

Lay the number.

Back Loyola Marymount.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play

Connecticut -7

We're on the Huskies here, laying the points.

UConn is in very unfamiliar territory. After starting the season a perfect 14-0, the Huskies have dropped back to back games to Xavier and Providence. The former number 1 team now heads home, where they have been unbeatable. Sitting at 9-0 at home, they are going to come out and make a statement here. 

They should be able to pick apart this Creighton side, who has had a ton of issues with teams like UConn. The Huskies will work the ball around and attack the rim. 

That is going to be the key to success here. Expect a fast start from UConn in this one.

Some trends to note. Huskies are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games. Bluejays are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back UConn. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play (CONN/CREI)

Phoenix Suns +2

The Suns have value here with the points.

Phoenix is clearly missing Devin Booker, but one thing they've continued to do well is play well at home. They come into play on Friday 14-5 SU here in Phoenix. They have also fared well when it comes to this head to head series with Miami. 

The Suns have covered in 5 of the last 6 meetings between the two clubs. With the home crowd edge, the Suns should put an emphasis on coming out of the gates early as they are at their best when they push the tempo to set the tone.

Some trends to note. Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest. Suns are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Los Angeles Clippers +4.5

The Clippers have seemed to play up to their competition this season. This is a nice spot for them here in Denver.

The Nuggets have had their issues on the defensive end and the Clippers have the playmakers to really take advantage of that. Los Angeles has seemed to come out and play extremely well when taking on top tier teams and this is their chance here to make a statement in the West.

The Clippers also have been a nice road backing lately. Coming into Thursday, they have covered the number in 5 of their last 7 road affairs.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss. Clippers are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall.

Grab the points.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Ohio State -1.5

It's the Buckeyes with the value here, at home. Purdue does come in #1 in the nation, but lost a little steam coming into play here. They fell to Rutgers in a game where they simply couldn't get anything going on the offensive side. 

Ohio State is going to be an even tougher matchup. The Buckeyes shutdown Northwestern on Sunday and even held them at one point to a stretch where they missed 24 of 27 shots. This Ohio State defense is a very high pressure one and they match up well with the Purdue shooters. Look for the Buckeyes to close out on shooters and not allow many 2nd or 3rd chances.

Some trends to note. Boilermakers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. Boilermakers are 6-18-3 ATS in their last 27 games overall.

An early hole for Purdue will have them reeling here.

Back Ohio State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cavs -5

We're on the Cavs, laying the points in this one. 

Mitchell's epic 71 point performance was one for the record books as the Cavs erased a 20 point deficit last time out. Now, they carry the momentum into play here against the Suns. 

Phoenix for starters has been dealing with injuries all season long. Devin Booker remains out and they are clearly struggling without him. They also have been a struggle on the road this season. Coming into play on Wednesday, the Suns are just 6-13 away from home. 

The Cavaliers have been a tough team to crack inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse and have covered 5 of the last 6 against the Suns here.

Some trends to note. Suns are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games. Suns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back the Cavs.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play (CLE/PHO)
