College of Charleston -11

We're laying the points here in this one.

College of Charleston continues their torrid run through the start of their campaign, going 14-1. They had to battle against Towson on NYE before winning in overtime. This team is one of the deepest when it comes to the mid majors as  they can beat teams both in the paint and with their complement of shooters. 

The Aggies just don't have the firepower to keep up. They have issues on the defensive end as well, where they allow teams to get a lot of easy looks at the rim.

Look for the Cougars to turn up the tempo and push the ball on the Aggies, who are not capable of slowing them down.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Cougars are 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games overall.

Back College of Charleston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play (COC/NCAT)

Utah Jazz -2.5

We're on the Jazz here laying the points. 

We've faded Utah as of late and it's been profitable for us as a whole. However, they return home, where they have played much better basketball. They come into Tuesday a solid 12-6 in front of the home crowd. This matchup and arena have also been a nightmare for the Kings. They are just 1-7-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings overall and are 1-4-1 ATS in the last 6 games in Utah. 

The Jazz will lean on their 4th ranked offense in the league and look to pick apart this Kings defense. Sacramento has had plenty of issues on the defensive end, especially as of late. 

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

Back Utah.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami Heat +4.5

The Heat are the move on Monday evening in LA. 

The Clippers have just been so inconsistent on both sides of the ball this season. Even when they have things going right on one side, something tends to go wrong on the other. That was the case last time out as they put up 130 points, but had no defensive efforts in what eventually was a loss to the Pacers. 

Miami is a very physical team and they'll really cause a lot of issues on the defensive side for the Clippers. Miami ranks 4th in the NBA in total defense and they will turn up the pressure Monday night. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Heat are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play (MIA/LAC)

Golden State -3

The Warriors have the value here on Monday night. 

Golden State has battled through injuries and has continued to find ways to win. They also have been one of the most dominant teams at home. Coming into play on Monday, the Warriors are 16-2. They have fed off the crowd energy and it's kept them a float through the injuries.

Atlanta meanwhile comes in just 6-11 on the road and they are one of the worst in the league on the defensive end. The Hawks give up nearly 116 points per game and they'll have their hands full with this Warriors side that loves to play quick.

Some trends to note. Hawks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Hawks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest.

Look for Golden State to protect home court once again.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Wright State -15

Wright State is the move Monday in this afternoon affair. 

IUPUI just does not match up well with the Raiders. This series has been dominated by the Raiders as a whole over late as well. 

IUPUI ranks near the bottom both offensively and on the defensive side, which has led them to just 3 wins on the year. Offensively, they are scoring only 59.9 points per game, while giving up over 70 per contest. 

Wright State will turn up the tempo on them here Monday, which will cause a lot of troubles. The Raiders score nearly 80 points per game themselves and have feasted on lower tier teams this season.

Some trends to note. Favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Raiders are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Raiders are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS loss.

Back Wright State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Boston -2

We're on Boston here in Denver on Sunday night. 

New Years Day gives us a solid matchup as these two sides have the potential to give us a finals preview. Both teams have been solid to start the season, but this Boston side has really taken the NBA by storm. They are one of the best on both sides of the ball and they have taken down some top tier teams already this season. 

Coming into the play, the Celtics rank first in the NBA in total points scored and 12th on the defensive side. 

They've also fared very well in this head to head series. They have gone 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings head to head and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 here in Denver.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 24-11-2 ATS in their last 37 road games. Celtics are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a straight up win.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Xavier +2.5

The public continues to pound Uconn and for good reason. However, this Xavier team is not one you can look over.

We backed them earlier this week and they took down St. Johns on the road. Now, they return home where this sell out crowd will be a huge factor. 

Xavier is one of the best in the NCAA when it comes to scoring. The Musketeers are putting up 83.9 points per game, which ranks in the top tier in the NCAA. Look for them to turn the pressure up early and turn this game into a track meet. The Musketeers are at their best when they can get out in transition and open up shooting lanes. 

Some trends to note. Musketeers are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Musketeers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

This has the makings of a close game where Xavier can pull one out in the end.

Back Xavier.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Sacramento Kings -3

We're playing the Kings here on Friday night, at home.

Utah has been a fade for us in a few recent games and it's worked out. This young team was bound to cool off from their hot start and they've dropped back to back games. Their defense has been a huge struggle and they're allowing far too many easy looks for opposing shooters. They rank 23rd in total defense and that number continues to get worse.

Sacramento is a much better team at home and they are one of the best in the league when it comes to scoring. The Kings put up 118 points per game, which ranks 2nd in the NBA. Look for Sacramento to utilize their speed and push the tempo on Utah, who has major issues with teams like this.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 15-37-3 ATS in their last 55 games following a ATS loss. Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (UT/SAC)

Pacers ATS

We're on the Pacers here, at home on Thursday. 

Cleveland has been a different team on the road compared to playing at home. They are just 6-9 away from Quicken Loans Arena and they've struggled to find any sort of consistency on both sides of the ball in such situations. 

Indiana has also been playing very well. They have covered in 5 of the last 7 overall and they're doing it with solid play on both sides of the ball. They're turning defense into offense as they are one of the best in the league when it comes to forcing turnovers and getting easy transition looks at the rim. 

Look for them to really put the pressure on defensively and force Cleveland to make some of their role players try to beat them. 

Some trends to note. Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Cavaliers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 2 days rest.

Back Indiana +5.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play

Golden State +4

The Warriors are picking up some momentum even with the injuries they're dealing with. 

They come in off back to back wins, one of which was a blowout win over the Grizzlies on Christmas Day. Offensively, they're getting a lot of role players to step up as they've filled in over the past two games flawlessly. Golden State put up 123 points against Memphis and 110 against Charlotte as they continued to attack the rim. That will be the key here as it has opened up shooting lanes when they can control the paint. 

Utah fell to San Antonio last time out and they are starting to see a little regression from their hot start. This team still has plenty of talent, but the league is starting to adjust to the style of play.

Some trends to note. Jazz are 15-36-3 ATS in their last 54 games following a ATS loss. Jazz are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play (UT/GS)

Xavier -2

The Musketeers are the move here, laying the small number. 

Xavier and St. Johns both have been very solid out of the gates. However, we saw some flaws in St. Johns when they ran into a good team like Villanova last time out. They were dominated in every way and couldn't get anything going in terms of momentum. They eventually fell by 15 points and this game against Xavier has a similar feel in terms of the matchup. 

Xavier has been at their best on the offensive end. They are averaging 83.8 points per game, which ranks near the top in the nation. 

Look for them to continue their quick attacks and transition ways, as they are just so tough to slow down.

Some trends to note. Musketeers are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. Musketeers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Xavier.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Kings +3

We’re on the Kings here, grabbing the points at home.

For starters, this is a huge letdown spot for the Nuggets. They come in off a dramatic, come from behind, overtime win at home against the Suns on Christmas Day. Flipping gears real quick and heading down to Sacramento is quite the difference in competition and even styles of play.

This is a game where the Kings can steal one given the drop of emotions for Denver.

The Nuggets have also struggled in this series. Coming into play, the Nuggets have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 in this arena.

Some trends to note. Nuggets are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Kings are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss.

Back Sacramento. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Seton Hall

We're on Seton Hall in this one as they have a solid edge. 

For starters, the Pirates have covered in 8 of their last 10 games on the road. They've been at their best thanks to their defensive efforts this season. They rank in the top tier in the NCAA in total defense, allowing just 62.4 points per game.

That will be the key here as they are their best when they suffocate shooters and really control the paint. 

Look for them to come out and apply as ton of pressure on these Marquette shooters, who struggle when it comes to shooting the three ball, hitting at just a 33.8% clip.

Some trends to note. Pirates are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Pirates are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Seton Hall.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Lakers -3.5 

We're on the Lakers laying the points. 

This is a fade of the Hornets. The Hornets are a mere 4-13 on the road and they have been an absolute mess in many facets. They rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category and they continue to struggle as a whole. They've dropped 9 of 10 overall as well and limp into this contest on Friday. 

Meanwhile, Los Angeles is playing better as a whole too. They are a solid 8-7 at home and they've fared very well against teams with sub .500 records. Coming into Friday, they have gone 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

They have the edge in almost every which way and will assert themselves early in this one. 

Some trends to note. Lakers are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Iona -9.5

We're on Iona here Thursday night.

SMU has had it's issues on both sides of the ball here in 2022. They come into Thursday averaging just 66.8 points per game while allowing over 70 points per contest. This team has a lot of gaps and Iona is a solid team here to expose those. 

SMU has also been a nice fade this season. They are 2-8 ATS coming into play and they've covered in just 1 of their last 5 games. 

Iona meanwhile puts up 77.1 points per game and they love to play a little bit quicker. This will cause the Mustangs some issues, as their defense tends to allow a lot of open shooting lanes.

Some trends to note. Gaels are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. Mustangs are 3-14 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

Back Iona.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Hornets +6.5

We're on the Hornets here against the Clippers on Wednesday night. 

Los Angeles has been an underachieving team in the NBA thus far. They enter play on Wednesday as one of the worst in the league on offense. They rank 30th in scoring, putting up just 107 points per game. 

Their inconsistencies have led to many games being close throughout, which is why grabbing the points here is valuable. The Hornets love to play quick and that has proven to be one of the best recipes to beating this Clippers side. They struggling with fast paced teams and the Hornets are getting healthier as the games go on.

Some trends to note. Hornets are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Hornets are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 road games.

Look for this to be close throughout. 

Back the Hornets.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Cincinnati -13

The Bearcats are the move here at home on Wednesday night.

Detroit has been a struggle this season and as of late they've had a lot of issues. They've dropped 3 in a row and they are one of the worst defensive teams in the nation. They struggle stopping teams inside the paint and that has even opened up shooting lanes for opposing shooters from the outside. 

Cincinnati is a much more physical team and they'll be able to have their way here with the Titans. Look for them to assert themselves early in this one, as they are at their best when they attack the rim and crash the boards.

Some trends to note. Bearcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Bearcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Back Cincinnati.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Grand Canyon -14.5

Grand Canyon is a nice move here at home.

This side has been dominant at home this season. Coming in at 6-1 so far, they have always proven to be a tough team to beat inside this arena. A few factors go into that for sure. It's a small building that jam packs people for starters. It can get loud and this crowd is right on top of you. 

Idaho State has also been a struggle to start the season. They rank near the bottom of the NCAA with just 68 points per game. This is not a team that can score quickly and struggles when they're behind early in games. Grand Canyon is the kind of team that come out of the gates quickly and will look to do just that here. 

Some trends to note. Bengals are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Antelopes are 27-12 ATS in their last 39 home games. 

27-12 at home ATS is not a small sample size. Lay the points.

Back Grand Canyon.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Nuggets -8.5

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

Denver is in a bounce back spot after dropping one to the Lakers after a sluggish 4th quarter. Los Angeles is a team that has woken up a bit and Denver ended up running into a brick wall in that final quarter. Still, this team is playing extremely well overall and they have so many different playmakers that cause havoc for opposing defenses.

Denver averages 116 points per game, which ranks 7th in the NBA. New Orleans has one of the worst defenses in the NBA, giving a huge edge to this Nuggets side.

Some trends to note. Hornets are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

Denver always bounces back it seems. This is a very nice spot for them at home.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas Mavericks 4.5

The Mavs look for revenge here on Saturday. They fell to Cleveland, at home earlier this week as they dug themselves too big of a whole early on. 

They catch the Cavs in a nice spot here, as Cleveland is working on a back to back after having to fight hard against the Pacers on Friday night. We could see Cleveland rest a couple players, but even if we don't they should still be battling a little fatigue come Saturday night.

Dallas has also been a nice backing inside this arena. They've covered the last 4 head to head contests in Cleveland.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings. Cavaliers are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest.

With how much of a struggle Cleveland is on back to backs, there is a ton of value on the visitors.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS TOP PLAY

UCLA -2

This Bruins side is not a team you want to see on your schedule right now.

They come in with a ton of momentum after absolutely obliterating the Maryland Terrapins last time out. They dominated in every which way as this is one of the most complete teams in the nation. 

UCLA ranks near the top in points per game and FG%, as they have shot over 50% from the field this season.

Kentucky doesn't matchup well here. They have struggled on the defensive end, in particular when it comes to closing out on shooters. UCLA has plenty of weapons that can hit from anywhere on the floor, giving them a huge edge. 

Some trends to note. Bruins are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall.

Back UCLA.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play (UCLA/UK)

Houston Cougars -2.5

Houston has the value here on the road in Virginia. 

Virginia is normally a tough team to crack given how slow they play combined with their high pressure defense. However, Houston is a team that can not only match that intensity, but they can even bring more pressure from so many different angles. 

Houston is one of the best in the nation defensively as they give up under 50 points per game. They love to suffocate opposing shooters and aren't afraid to gamble when it comes to the passing lanes. 

They are one of the best teams who can turn defense into offense. Expect them to turn this into a grind of a game, putting the pressure on early.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games. Cougars are 42-12-1 ATS in their last 55 games following a ATS loss.

Look for this to be a low scoring game, where Houston can turn to their ability to win the battle in the paint to be the difference.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play (HOU/UV)

Lakers +1.5

The Lakers may be figuring some things out. They have value here at home.

Despite dropping last game to the Celtics, we saw a lot of positives from this Lakers side. They have shown they have the ability to go on huge runs and really lock down defensively at times. Now, it’s about turning that into a more consistent effort. 

The Nuggets themselves are a team they match up well with. Los Angeles has really stepped up their interior defense and that should be the difference here. 

Look for them to contain Jokic and really attack the rim, similar to what they did on Tuesday.

Some trends to note, Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Lakers are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami -5

We're backing the Heat here on Thursday night. 

Miami has been dominant in this series as of late coming into play on Thursday.  Houston are 9-18 on the year.  Miami are 13-15. 

This is also a let down spot for the Rockets. They came out on Tuesday and blew away the Suns in what was their most impressive game of the season. Now, they take on a very physical and gritty Miami side that can really wear teams down. 

Some trends to note, head to head the Heat are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Houston, and 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Raptors -5.5

The Raptors have value here laying the points.

The Kings have struggled on the road and in this head to head series, giving the edge here to Toronto. Coming into Tuesday, the Raptors have covered in 7 of the last 10 head to head meetings with one push. 

Toronto also has gone 10-3 at home this season as they've played some of their best basketball here. They've done it with a combination of factors, but the most important has been their ability to get key stops. Look for them to step up defensively against a Kings team that has it's issues with consistency on the offensive end.

Some trends to note. Raptors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Raptors are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Wednesday games.

Back Toronto.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cal Poly +12.5

This is too many points in this spot. Cal Poly has been solid to start the season, sitting at 5-3 and they've won 4 in a row. Their latest was a beat down against Portland State, where they allow just 49 points in a 72-49 win. 

Washington has battled injuries and struggled at times, which has led them to having some inconsistencies. Expect this game to be a very slowly paced game, as both sides will look to work the ball around and utilize the shot clock.

With that in mind, this has the makings of lower scoring game, that is close throughout.

Some trends to note, Mustangs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, and are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win, plus they are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Cal Poly.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Boston -3.5

This is a solid line on a much better team here. Boston is in a bounce back spot after dropping back to back games, which has been very rare as of late for them.

This is the final game of a 6 game road swing too, which the Celtics are looking to finish above .500. 

Boston has far too many weapons for this Lakers side. Los Angeles is too inconsistent and has struggled with top tier teams this season. Look for Boston to come out here with a purpose and push the tempo on the Lakers in this one.

Some trends to note, Celtics are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Lakers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Head to head Celtics are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Lay the small number.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Arizona State +3.5

We’re on the Sun Devils, with the points. 

Arizona State has been red hot to start the season. Sitting at 9-1, they've rattled off win after win while dominating on the defensive end.

Creighton meanwhile, limps in after dropping one to BYU on Saturday. The quick turn around won’t bode well for the fatigue side either, especially against a team as physical as Arizona State. 

Arizona state has held the opposition under 35% shooting 5 times this season. Look for them to really put the pressure on here. 

Some trends to note, Sun Devils are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win.

Back Arizona State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Nets -5

The Nets have value here. Brooklyn has been the most interesting team to say the least. The Nets have battled drama and injuries all season long. As of late, it’s been the injury piece, but they have weathered that storm. 

The Nets are 7-1 in their last 8 games and are expected to get Kevin Durant back for Mondays contest. 

This is the perfect matchup as the Wizards have had far more issues. They’ve dropped 6 in a row as it’s been a debacle for them on the defensive end. Look for Brooklyn to really push the tempo on Washington, who ranks near the bottom in transition defense. 

This is a nice matchup for the Nets and they should be able to dictate a lot here. 

Trends to note, Nets are 21-8-1 ATS in their last 30 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Wizards are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, and are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Mississippi State -7.5

We’re on the Bulldogs here. They come in a perfect 8-0 and they take on a Minnesota team who has been a struggle. Sitting at 4-5, they’ve dropped 4 in a row heading into Sunday. 3 of those losses have been by double digits with the other being right there at 9. 

The Bulldogs have far too many scorers for this Minnesota defense to handle. The Golden Gophers rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category and they’re going to have their hands full Sunday. 

Look for the Bulldogs to get out of the gates quickly here. 

Some trends to note, Golden Gophers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games, 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 overall, and 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Lay the points.

Back Mississippi State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play

Knicks -2.5

The Knicks have value at this low of a number. Both teams come in playing very well, but New York is still the more talented of the two. The Knicks have won 3 in a row and they’re doing it with their ability to turn defense into offense. They’re forcing turnovers and getting out in transition, which has led to some easy buckets.

The Kings are vulnerable to turning the ball over and this is a game New York can take advantage of that. Look for them to turn up the pressure defensively and really force the Kings on their heels early in this one. 

With home court and opposing teams having a hard time playing at MSG, the value sits here with New York.

Some trends to note, Knicks are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Head to head Kings are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back the Knicks.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +1.5 

The Las Vegas Clash pins two top 15 teams against one another. We’re backing the Hoosiers, who have looked better and more consistent of the two.  Arizona is a run and fun team, but we’ve seen at times they have struggled when they start to miss their three pointers.

This Indiana team loves to play pressure defense and this will cause the Wildcats a lot of issues.  Look for defense to be the biggest key as Indiana has no problems picking up full court and suffocating opposing shooters.

 Indiana can also control the paint here on both ends of the floor, turning this game into one that is played much better at their tempo and strengths. 

Back Indiana. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play (IND/ARIZ)

Eastern Washington +8.5 

This is too many points in this spot. South Dakota State is still one of the better mid majors, but after losing some key scorers from last season, they aren’t the same. We’ve seen that on a few instances and they now get an Eastern Washington team that has won 3 of 4 overall.

The last one was very impressive as they downed Cal on the road. This has the makings of a game where it’s played at Eastern Washington’s pace.

They love to slow things down and that’ll take SDSU out of their rhythm. 

Back Eastern Washington. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.  

Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play (EW/SDST)

LSU -1

We’re on LSU here, at home. It’s been a minute since they’ve taken the court, but this team has started the season off with a solid 7-1 mark.

They’ve done it with a combination of things. From their solid, pressure defense, to their ability to control the tempo of a game, they’re finding ways to really frustrate the opposition. 

They’re no stranger to playing close games either, which this one very well could be. They’ve played their last 3 games in 4 points or less territory. 

With home court and their ability to come up with some timely stops, they have value here.

Look for them to put the pressure on early, winning the battle on both sides of the court in the paint. 

Back LSU. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play

Suns +2

We’re on the Suns, grabbing the points here.

Chris Paul may return here which would be a huge added bonus. Even if he’s not, we’re still getting solid value on the home side.

The Suns always get up for big games and this is going to be a prime example. Phoenix sits at 16-8, first in the Western Conference as they’ve been able to overcome injuries here in the early part of the year. They’ve have different players stepping up, which shows how much depth this team has. 

They matchup well with Boston, as they have the playmakers to go toe to toe with them. 

Expect this game to be a back and forth one, with the Suns feeding off a sold out crowd energy to grab a win. 

Suns are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss, and Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 1 days rest. Head to head Celtics are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

UConn -4.5

The Huskies have started the season a perfect 9-0 and they’re doing it in dominant fashion. 

It’s really been a combination of everything. Solid defense, an inside presence on the offensive end, and a compliment of three point shooters.

We’re backing them here against a Florida team that has shown signs of inconsistent play. They have struggled with physical teams, like this UConn on portrays. 

Expect the Huskies to turn the pressure up early and for Florida to struggle with the offensive attack the Huskies bring with their inside out game. 

Huskies are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall, 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win, and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back UConn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Duke -2

We're on the Blue Devils laying the small number.

This one figures to be a solid matchup as Iowa is one of the best out of the Big 10. No. 15 Duke has been one of the best with utilizing their depth. They really spread the ball around and get big time contributions from many players. 

Look for Duke to utilize this and really work the ball around here. Iowa is a team that can score in spurts quickly, so limiting the damage will be key.  If Duke can turn this into a bit of a slower game, they will have the advantage.

Some trends to note, Hawkeyes are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. 

Back Duke.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Cleveland -4.5

The Cavs have value here.

The Lakers still haven't figured everything out yet and honestly they may never figure it out. This team is far too inconsistent to trust. 

Cleveland meanwhile has played solid overall and they've been a tough team to crack at home. Combine that with the Lakers already losing to the Cavs by 14 earlier this season and there is a lot of reason to believe Cleveland can take control again. Look for the Cavs to use their speed and really push out in transition here.

Some trends to note, Lakers are 19-39 ATS in their last 58 games following a straight up win, and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Cavs are 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 home games.

Back Cleveland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

76ers -7.5

We're on the 76ers laying the points. 

After winning 3 straight and 4 of their last 5, the 76ers have dropped back to back games in ugly fashion. 

This is a perfect spot for them to get back on track. Houston's defense ranks one of the worst in the NBA and Phili should be able to dictate a lot here on both ends of the floor. Look for them to dominate the paint and get out with some easy transition buckets in this one.

Houston has struggled in this head to head series, leaving the value with the 76ers. 

Back Philadelphia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Golden State -7

The Warriors have value here laying the points.

Chicago just does not match up well here. The Bulls have failed to cover in 7 of the last 8 meetings overall in this series. This building has also been a house of horrors for the Bulls. They come into play on Friday just 5-17 ATS in the last 22 meetings here. 

Golden State started off slow this season, but has started to figure things out as they're playing at a much better level. Look for them to continue this dominance of the Bulls as they have a lot of weapons that can cause issues for this Chicago defense. 

Some trends to note. Bulls are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. Bulls are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Gonzaga -2.5

This is a low number here on the Bulldogs.

Baylor had the doors blown off of them earlier this week against Marquette. There were a lot of flaws exposed in this team and that is not what you want to have when going in to face Gonzaga.

The Bulldogs are a team with a lot of outside shooters and a solid inside presence. Look for them to establish dominance inside early, which should open up a lot of lanes for these shooters. 

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

Back Gonzaga.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play

Pistons +7

This one is going to be a grind. 

The Pistons have been a mess this season, but they are in a good spot here. They catch the Mavs, who come in off their best win of the season as they took down the Warriors at home. 

Going from that high of a competition and intense game to this, could be a tough mental game for the Mavs. Look for Detroit to take advantage of that and come out of the gates with some fire in this one. If they can grab an early lead, the Mavericks are not a team that is built to come from behind. 

Grab the points.

Back Detroit.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Indiana +3.5

We're on the Pacers here with the points.

Indiana comes in on a high as they defeated the Lakers on Monday night at the buzzer. Indiana has been overlooked some this year, coming in with a solid 12-8 mark. They do the little things right when it comes to taking care of the basketball. 

Offensively, they rank 7th in the NBA, putting up 115.7 points per game as well. The Kings have defensive issues all over the place and this is not a good matchup for them. 

Some trends to note. Pacers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS win.

Back Indiana.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Virginia -4.5

The ACC/Big Ten Challenge continues here in Ann Arbor on Tuesday. 

While Michigan comes in 5-1, this team has been far from what their record indicates. They nearly lost to Ohio on their home floor and have struggled against Eastern Michigan and Jackson State thus far.

Virginia is by far their toughest competition so far and this has the chance to really give them some issues. The Cavaliers are a team that slows the game down and really plays physical. 

Look for them to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor, as Michigan simply does not have an answer with this matchup.

Some trends to note, Wolverines are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Cavaliers are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss.

Back Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Knicks -5

Texas Southern +24

This should be a down spot for Kansas.

The Jayhawks had their 17 game winning streak stopped last time out against Tennessee as they played some very good competition over the past week and change. The contests included games against Duke, NC State, Wisconsin, and Tennessee. 

After a long, brutal stretch like that, coming back to play Texas Southern isn't one you really get up for. Look for some sluggish play from Kansas in a game that they will still win, but it will feature some runs that allow Texas Southern to hang around.

Back Texas Southern.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Brooklyn Nets -10 

We’re on the nets here laying the points on Monday night at home against Orlando.

The magic have been an ultimate fade this season. They come in with just five wins and have dropped four in a row overall. They struggle defensively, as they are one of the worst in the NBA when it comes down. 

Brooklyn has not lived up to their standards here in the 2022 season, they still have played much better as of late and are starting to figure things out. 

Look for the nets to come out of the gates early and really put the pressure on Orlando who has continuously dug themselves into some deep holes. A trend to note, Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 

This has the makings of a lopsided game. 

Back Brooklyn. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Memphis -2.5

We're on the Grizzlies here laying the small number.

The Knicks have been one of the worst on the defensive side of the ball. They have struggled all season long and it's showed once again on Friday where they blew a 14 point lead, allowing 132 points. 

Memphis comes in with momentum themselves, putting up 132 points against the Pelicans in their Friday win. This is a case where the Knicks just do not match up well. Memphis has a lot of weapons and the Knicks have far too many issues with slowing teams down.

Lay the small number.

Back Memphis.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns -12

The Suns are worth a move laying the points.

Detroit comes in off an upset win in Utah last time out, but this team still has far too many issues. Defensively, they are one of the worst in the league in many categories. They give up easy looks and fail to stop teams who get out in transition. 

The Suns are not a good opponent to matchup with for Detroit. Given how quickly they play and the playmakers they have, this is a game where Phoenix can utilize their fast pace to throw this Pistons side off.

Some trends to note. Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Suns are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (PHO/DET)

West Virginia +2

We're taking the Mountaineers here with the small number. 

West Virginia and Purdue clash in the battle of unbeatens in what should be a very physical game. Physicality is in this Mountaineers side blood as they love to attack the rim offensively. They've dominated their first four games with ease, with the lastest being a 92-58 win over Penn. They really put the pressure on defensively as well, which will give this Purdue side a lot of issues. 

Look for this game to be won on the defensive end, which certainly favors West Virginia.

Back West Virginia.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play

Florida +1.5

We're taking Florida with the points in the Phil Knight Legacy contest between Florida and Xavier. 

Florida F Colin Castleton has been an absolute beast to start this season, putting up 25.3 points per game and grabbing 8.8 rebounds. This Florida team is built a lot like Indiana, who the Musketeers struggled to stop last time out as they allowed 81 points in a loss.

Look for Florida to play through Castleton and really push the tempo on Xavier. The Musketeers have had issues with their transition defense and this will be a tough task for them given the weapons this Florida tema has offensively.

Back Florida.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play

UNC -14

The Tar Heels have value at this number on Thanksgiving Day. 

UNC and Portland clash in the Phil Knight Invitational Thursday afternoon as the Tar Heels are a perfect 4-0 to start the season. Offensively, they've hit a nice early groove, putting up 102, 72, and 80 in their last 3 contests. 

Portland just simply does not have the weapons to keep up here. They have lost 2 of 3, with the latest being against Seattle as they scored just 68 points. 

Look for North Carolina to assert themselves early in this one and have Portland in a hole they just can't get out of.

Back North Carolina.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Arkansas +1

It's the Razorbacks with value in the Maui Invitational consolation match. 

After struggling down the stretch against Creighton on Tuesday, the Razorbacks fell and now deal with a totally different type of team in SDSU. The Aztecs are not the kind of team to get into a track meet, but they'll have to here with the way Arkansas plays. 

The Razorbacks still put up 87 points in the loss and they're averaging 78 points per game thus far. Look for them to set the tone early and push the tempo in transition.

Some trends to note. Razorbacks are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games. Razorbacks are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss.

Back Arkansas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Phoenix -7.5

The Suns have value here laying the points. 

The Lakers are still a struggle as they come in 5-10 and they do not match up well with the Suns. Phoenix comes in with momentum, winning of 2 of 3 and they throttled Knicks last time out putting up 116 points. The Suns have plenty of weapons that can step up.

Cameron Payne has been the latest to come up big as he has filled in for the injured Chris Paul. He dropped 21 points last time out and has topped 20 points four times while replacing Paul. 

Look for the Suns to overwhelm this Lakers side, who is just far too inconsistent this season.

Trends to note, Lakers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. Head to head Lakers are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Kansas State -5

 The Wildcats are the move here.  Kansas State has started the season a perfect 4-0 and they dominated Rhode Island Monday to start their week off. They are a team that really puts the pressure on defensively and it has caused their opponents a lot of issues.  

Look for them to put the clamps down defensively here on Nevada, as they have held every opponent 60 points this season.  The value sits with Kansas State here. 

Some trends to note,  Wolf Pack are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Tuesday games. Wildcats are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. Back the Wildcats. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Clippers -3

Los Angeles has the value here, laying the small number.

The Jazz have been the biggest surprise in the NBA, but they run into a Clippers team who is starting to figure things out. The Clippers have won 2 in a row and 3 of their last 4 as they're finally starting to put together a solid run here. 

They've got some key players back from injury and have been one of the better sides defensively in the NBA this season. Look for them to throw the Jazz off their game with their style of play, as the Clippers will slow things down here.

Some trends to note, Clippers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Head to head the Jazz are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Los Angeles.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Tarleton State +6.5

We're on Tarleton State with the points. 

Drake is a much slower paced team here, which is going to benefit us with the underdogs. Tarleton plays a very up tempo, fast paced game that will certainly take Drake out of their rhythm. They shoot nearly 50% from the field and love to put the pressure on defensively. 

Look for them to pick up the tempo even more here as Drake will have it's hands full with the speed this side brings.

Grab the points.

Back Tarleton State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Phoenix -2

The Jazz are getting a heavy dosage of reality after their fast start. Their challenging schedule continues and this time it’s Phoenix that they have to deal with. 

The Suns defeated the Warriors and come in with plenty of momentum into Friday. Their quick tempo and ability to attack the rim is something this Jazz team will struggle with. 

With such a young team and facing adversity for the first time, this simply isn’t the team you want to see when trying to turn things around.

Some trends to note, Suns are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Jazz are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Head to head Suns are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Utah.

Lay the small number.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Arkansas Pine Bluff +9.5

We backed Cleveland State in their first win on Wednesday, but here we’re fading them as they take on Arkansas Pine Bluff. Arkansas Pine Bluff was blown out by Kent that same day, but this team is still not one to look over.

They gave TCU and Oklahoma both solid games and match up well with the Vikings. Guard Shaun Doss Jr. has averaged 20 points per game so far and this offense goes when he goes.

Look for him to set the tone here and get this offense going.  Expect a close game throughout that can go either way. 

Some trends to note. Golden Lions are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Vikings are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS win. 

Back Arkansas Pine Bluff. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Friday 8* CBB ATS Play (APB/CLST)

Spurs +7

This is a fade on the Kings here.

Sacramento had a historic night as they put up 153 points on Brooklyn last time out. They are riding a high and now coming down to take on a team like the Spurs is certainly a place for a let down. 

On top of that, this Spurs team can really be a pain. They are young and utilize a lot of speed, that can create issues for opposing teams. Look for them to come out with a lot of tempo and get out in transition, causing a lot of issues for the Kings.

Spurs are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss, and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 1 days rest. Kings are 8-25 ATS in their last 33 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

Back San Antonio.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

VCU -3

VCU has value here at this number.

The Rams went cold at the wrong time as they fell to Arizona State late on Wednesday. This team still has plenty of talent and a lot to look forward to moving ahead.

Pittsburgh is going to be one of the teams to struggle this season. They have a lot of gaps on both ends of the floor and this simply isn't a good matchup for them. VCU's defense provides a lot of length and their suffocating of shooters is going to cause a lot of fits here. Look for VCU to put the pressure on and even take out some frustrations from Wednesday night.

Panthers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 neutral site games, and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. Rams are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss.

Back VCU.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Phoenix -1.5

The Suns have value at this low of a number.

Phoenix throttled the Warriors earlier this season in a game where Klay Thompson was ejected in the third quarter. Phoenix ended up putting up 134 points in that win as they have one of the best offenses in the NBA. 

Golden State has been lackluster to say the best thus far. Coming in at just 6-8, they have had issues on both sides of the ball. This Suns team is playing much better and playing with far more confidence right now. 

Some trends to note, Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. Suns are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Lastly the Warriors are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cleveland State +1.5

We're on the Vikings here with the points. 

Cleveland State is still finding it's way, but this is the perfect game here for them to grab their first win. We backed them against Cincinnati last week as they nearly pulled off an upset as 22 point underdogs. This team has depth and talent, but it's just about putting it all together. 

They really put the pressure on defensively and that will be the difference. Canisius is a very one dimensional team and will struggle with the suffocating defense the Vikings bring. They've already dropped to one Horizon League school this year and a second could be well on it's way.

Back Cleveland State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play

Georgia State -3.5

We're playing Georgia State laying the points here.

Georgia State has won 11 of its last 13 games as they have been on a roll dating back to last season. This team returned many starters and they are going to once again be poised to make the NCAA Tournament. 

The Panthers are led by sophomore forward Ja'Heim Hudson, who has averaged a double double this season going for 19.5 points and 10.5 rebounds. Look for him to set the tone once again here as their early season success has leaned heavily on him.

Some trends to note, Panthers are 9-2-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing ATS road record.

Back Georgia State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Milwaukee -4.5

This is a revenge spot here for the Bucks. 

Atlanta handed the Bucks their first loss of the season last week and now they'll get their chance to find some revenge here in Milwaukee. The Hawks have dropped 2 of their last 3 games overall, which includes a loss on Saturday where they couldn't slow down the 76ers. 

Milwauke will have a few players returning from injury here as well, which should provide a huge boost. Look for them to have some fire here in the early going, as Atlanta's defensive issues are just too much to overcome.

Some trends to note, Hawks are 7-25 ATS in their last 32 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 home games. Hawks are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Milwaukee.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Houston Cougars -20

We're laying the points with Houston here.

The Coogs have rolled through their first two games of the season as they've blown out both opponents. This Houston team is not only deep, but they have the ability to really put the clamps down defensively. 

Oral Roberts simply does not have the weapons to keep up here. Look for Houston to get out and run in transition, as they will have Oral Roberts on their heels with their speed.

Combine that with their ability to control the paint and this has the makings of another blowout.

Some trends to note, Golden Eagles are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, and are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS win.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Portland +5.5

The Trail Blazers have value at this price. 

Portland has won four of thier last five games and they are a solid backing when playing as an underdog. They have covered 5 of the last 6 on the road when grabbing points.

Dallas meanwhile has been a nice fade in spots like this. They are just 2-7-1 ATS as favorites and will have their hands full as injuries are piling up on them. 

Look for Portland to keep this close, as they have a chance to even steal this one outright.

Back Portland.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Cal Poly +15.5

We're on Cal Poly here, grabbing the points.

This is just too many points in this case as Cal Poly has always given San Francisco solid games when these two teams meet. 

San Francisco has also struggled when it comes to covering the number. The Dons are 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 Thursday games and Dons are 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up win. They struggled defensively in their opener and will have their hands full here with a Cal Poly team that has a lot of playmakers.

Some trends to note. Mustangs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Mustangs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Thursday games.

Back Cal Poly.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play

Clippers -4.5

We’re on the clippers laying the points.

The Lakers have just been a solid fade all season long. They’ve struggled on both sides of the ball and it hasn’t got any better for them with each game.

The frustration is apparent and the Clippers have a huge mental edge on them. They’ve dominated this head to head series and have a win under their belts against them already this season.

The Lakers have far too many issues and this is just not a good matchup for them.

Some trends to note, Lakers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games. Clippers are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Lakers are 17-36 ATS in the last 53 meetings.

Back the Clippers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Georgetown -17

Georgetown has value here laying the number.

Coppin State has the unfortunate task of playing back to back games here as they opened the season at Charlotte last night. It wasn’t pretty as they were trounced from the outset.

Georgetown is not going to be any easier. After a disappointing 2021 campaign, they did some retooling to try and restore some order. This is the kind of game where they can really come out and make a statement against a team that will deal with fatigue. 

Expect physical play from the opening tip in this one. Georgetown can really wear them down early.

A trend of note, dating back to 2021 the Hoyas are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall.

Back Georgetown.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play

Milwaukee -2.5

The Bucks have value here laying the points. 

As small road favorites here, this is a nice line on Milwaukee as they are playing at a solid level right now. Being the only undefeated team in the NBA, the Bucks have done it with solid defense combined with a lot of different players stepping up offensively. 

The Hawks have a difficult time stopping teams that are set up like the Bucks. Look for Milwaukee to get out and run here.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. Bucks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

South Dakota State +4

South Dakota State has value grabbing points here.

These two teams open play in what should actually be a very entertaining game. Both sides are always near the top in their respective conferences, but this is too many points to give this SDSU side. 

They return three starters and they made a lot of noise last season en route to an NCAA Tournament appearance. Look for them to continue their fast pace, high flying ways which should overwhelm Akron here.

Back South Dakota State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* CBB ATS Play

Sacramento -2.5

The Kings are the move Saturday. 

We're backing Sacramento as they have dominated this head to head series as of late. Coming into Saturday, the Kings have covered in 4 of the last 5 in this building. Overall, they have hit in 8 of the last 11 head to head meetings.

The Kings play quick and this will cause a lot of issues for the Magic. Combine that with the let down factor after Orlando's big win Thursday against Golden State and the value sits with the visitors.

Some trends to note. Kings are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest. Kings are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games.

Back Sacramento.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play

Warriors +4.5

We're taking the Warriors on a bounce back here on Friday.

Golden State blew an early double digit lead and eventually fell by one to the Orlando Magic. Golden State rarely sees losses pile up in bunches and this is a perfect spot to back them as they get right back out there.

New Orleans has had many defensive issues this season and this is not the team you want to have those against. Look for Golden State to push the tempo on the them here, as the Pelicans have struggled with teams who play with tempo.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Oklahoma City +6

We're on the Thunder here grabbing the points. 

Oklahoma City has been profitable as of late. They're covering games and they're playing much better at home. They come in with solid momentum after knocking off the Magic on Tuesday night. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is playing at another level right now, giving this team a lot of energy. 

Denver meanwhile has been a rollercoaster. They've struggled to find consistency this season and defensively they are a mess against fast paced teams. This is a solid matchup for Oklahoma City, who loves to play quick with their young team. 

Some trends to note.  Nuggets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games. Thunder are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Thunder are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games. Head to head Nuggets are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Back Oklahoma City.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

New Orleans -3

We're fading the Lakers here on Wednesday. Los Angeles got their first win of the season, but this team still has far too many gaps. They struggle with quick teams and this Pelicans team is one that loves to play fast.

New Orleans dominated the Clippers last time out and they're putting up the 2nd most points per game at 118. 

Expect them to push the tempo on the Lakers, who have struggled mightily with transition defense.

Some trends to note. Pelicans are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Pelicans are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 road games.

Back New Orleans.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Suns -3.5

We're on the Suns at home here on Tuesday.

Phoenix has been off to a hot start as Devin Booker has been one of the best in the league thus far. He's working to put an MVP type season together as it's been dominance on both ends of the floor for him. 

Overall, this Suns team has shot the ball extremely well and they should find plenty of open shooting lanes against the Timberwolves on Tuesday. Look for them to push the tempo on them, working to get some easy transition buckets.

Some trends to note. Suns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall, 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. Head to head Timberwolves are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and 4-9 ATS in the last 13 in Phoenix.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play 

Denver -3.5

Denver has value here laying the points in LA.

The Lakers have so many issues as this team once again looks like they will be a bottom tier team. From injuries to just struggles overall, this is not a team that is feared anymore.

Denver meanwhile has started to find their groove as they have so many playmakers. Their ability to shoot the 3 and attack will cause many issues here for the Lakers. Look for Denver to attack from all angles, putting LA in an early hole it can't get out of.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -7

We're on the Clippers laying the points here on Thursday. 

This is game 2 of two straight in OKC between these two teams. Los Angeles was bounced by 14 points a few days again and this is a revenge spot.

The Clippers are clearly the better team and will come out to prove a point here on Thursday. The Thunder shot unconscious throughout their win on Tuesday night, but that won't be the case here. Look for them to pick up the intensity defensively and really get out of the gates early in this one.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play

Orlando Magic +8.5

We're on the Magic here grabbing the points in Cleveland.

This is a let down spot for the Cavs. After a huge win in front of a sold out crowd for their home opener, they sandwich in the Magic before taking on the Celtics this weekend. 

Orlando has also fared well against Cleveland. They come in covering 7 out of the last 8 games against the Cavs and have gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. Look for that trend to continue here as the Magic should be able to keep this one close with the Cavs potentially looking ahead.

Back Orlando.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Brooklyn +1.5

The Nets have value on the road here on Monday. 

Brooklyn comes in 1-1 and this team is going to be extremely good as the season goes on. They have depth, speed, and so many different weapons that can hurt opponents. 

They matchup well here with Memphis, as the Grizzlies just don't have as many weapons as this Nets side. Look for Brooklyn to attack here from many different angles and put the pressure on early. 

Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Nets are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 road games.

Back Brooklyn.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA ATS Play

Phoenix +1.5

We’re on the Suns in LA on Sunday night.

The Clippers had a hard fought win on Saturday in Sacramento and coming into a back to back against this Suns team is not going to be fun at all.

Phoenix had an off day after their first loss of the season in overtime and that day to rest should prove vital. The Suns have been a great team when playing on rest and fatigue is going to be a huge factor for Los Angeles.

Look for Phoenix to get out and run on this Clippers defense, pushing the tempo in transition. 

Devin Booker has started this season averaging 30.5PPG and he will prove to be too much here.

Back Phoenix.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

Clippers -3

We’re on the Clippers here laying the small number.

This has been a successful building for the Clippers dating back many years. They come into Saturday winners of 15 straight in Sacramento, as they have simply dominated this side.

On top of that, they come in with momentum after knocking off the Lakers on Thursday night. 

Look for them to really push the tempo on the Kings, as Sacramento has had plenty of issues when it comes to defense. They struggle with stopping teams in transition and this Clippers side has far too many weapons.

Dating back to last year Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Kings are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. Head to head Clippers are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Sacramento.

Back Los Angeles.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

New York Knicks -6.5

We're on the Knicks here laying the points.

Detroit went down big early to Orlando and needed a huge comeback in a game where they struggled defensively.

The Knicks have also been a very solid bounce back team. Coming into Friday, New York has gone 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. They typically come out with a lot of fire in games where they need a win and this should be the case. 

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

Expect New York to feed off this home crowd energy.

Back New York.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play (NY/DET)

Los Angeles Clippers -5.5

We're on the Clippers here against the Lakers.

The Lakers were blown away by the Warriors on Opening Night and this is another tough spot for them. 

The Clippers have dominated this series head to head as of late. Coming into play on Thursday, the Clippers have gone 35-17 ATS in the last 52 meetings. This isn't a small sample size either. They've been able to utilize their depth and really wear the Lakers down. 

Some trends to note. Clippers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Clippers are 24-7-1 ATS in their last 32 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

This is a nice spot on the Clippers to wear the Lakers down once again as Lebron and company just don't seem to have that spark.

Back the Clippers.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play (LAC/LAL)

Denver -7

The Nuggets are worthy of a move here on Opening Night in the NBA.

Denver and Utah are on opposite ends of the spectrum. The Nuggets are poised for a big run this season in the west while the Jazz are rebuilding after losing some key pieces. Ownership sent a message to this team that they don't want to compete after trading away Mitchell Gobert and Bogdanovic. 

Denver is just too quick and has far too many weapons for the Jazz. Look for Denver to put their foot on the gas early and not let up.

Dating back to last year Utah are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Western conference teams.

Back Denver.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -2

The Celtics are worth the move on opening night in the NBA.

After a dramatic off season, this line has dropped significantly. Boston still has plenty of talent and they have the ability to do a lot of damage in the East.

This is a nice spot with the home crowd going to be energized. Combine that with the depth they acquired and Boston should be in for a big night. Brogdan will likely play the 6th man role and make a huge difference for this team off the bench.  Dating back to 21/22 the 76ers are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 road games.

Let’s grab the value with the home side.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -4

After a Game 3 loss in Beantown, the Warriors are now 3-5 straight up and 2-6 ATS on the road during the 2022 playoffs.

The Celtics are averaging 108 points in the finals and a +5.6 point differential in the playoffs overall. They held the Warriors to just 11 points in the 4th quarter in Game 3 and to just 16 points in the 4th through their Game 1 win.

Some recent trends to note, Boston's last 13 wins have been by 4 or more points. They scored 68 points on 57% shooting in the first half of Game 3 en route to a 116-100 win.

Play on the Celtics -4.0 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Golden State -4

The Warriors have value here in Game 2.

Golden State was dominating Game 1, but saw Boston take off in the 4th quarter. This time should be different.

The Warriors know they have to come out with some fire and steal that momentum back. Look for them to come out of the gates running as they can beat Boston with their transition game. They're at their best when they have the ability to turn defense into offense and get shots out of the run out.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Celtics -8.5

The Heat’s starters have struggled against the Celtics in this series. In game 4, they combined for just 18 points while being outscored by Jayson Tatum alone who put up 31 on Miami. In each of their 3 losses to the Celtics, they were outscored by at least 13.

Boston has been getting it done at both ends to the court with their offence averaging nearly 107 points against a Miami squad who has averaged just 100 points against through the playoffs. On defence, the Celtics are averaging less than 99 points against in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Some recent trends to note, just 4 players on the Heat’s squad scored in the double digits in game 5 and no Miami players surpassed 20 points. Boston is 86-68 in closeout games, which includes a 48-19 record at home.

Play on the Celtics -8.5 -110

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA ATS PLAY

Miami +1.5

We’re on the Heat in Game 5. Home court is the biggest factor here.

Miami as a whole this season has been a tough team to crack. The Heat have also been a solid bounce back team too. They rarely allow losses to come in bunches and that’s been the case even in this postseason. 

Expect them to feed off this crowd’s energy early on, as they’ll look to flip the script on the fast start. They’re at their best when they attack early and are able to turn solid defense into easy transition buckets.

Back Miami. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play

Dallas PK

We're going to back Dallas here to keep things alive.

The Mavs are not as bad as they've looked in this series thus far. They're also a team that just won't rollover here.

Look for them to come out very inspired. We've seen the Warriors lay an egg or two this postseason in similar situations, which could be the case here on Tuesday.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite.Mavericks are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite.

Back Dallas PK.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Miami +6.5

Miami has value here in Game 3. Boston stole home court advantage from the Heat as they dominated Game 2 in every which way. 

This is just too many points though. We saw Miami control Game 1 as this is still a very even matchup. Miami has a compliment of scorers who can make life miserable for this Celtics defense. While they saw many go cold in Game 2, that won't be the case here. Look for them to step up, especially early in this one on Saturday. 

Some trends to note. Heat are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Heat are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.

Back Maimi.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +6.5

We're backing the Mavs in Game 2.

This team is all about making adjustments. They have done it throughout the entire playoffs and thats what they should do here in Game 2. 

Look for them to get out of the gates much better in this one, not allowing Golden State to push the tempo on them like they did in Game 1. If they can lock down defensively early in this one, they'll be able to frustrate these Warriors shooters.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest.Mavericks are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss.

Back Golden State.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA ATS Play

Dallas +5

We're on the Mavs here in Game 1.

They have a legit shot at stealing this series. Golden State didn't look like they were at their best in the series against Memphis, a team that played without their superstar in the final few games.

Dallas is clicking on all cylinders right now. They embarrassed Phoenix in Game 7 and have looked sharp on both sides of the ball. Expect them to buckle down defensively, shutting down this Warriors attack.

Some trends to note. Mavericks are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.Mavericks are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back Dallas.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston +2

We're on Boston with the points.

The Celtics have hit their stride. After falling down 2-1 to Milwaukee, they have turned things up many notches. They're coming up with clutch shots, having different players step up every game as this team has been dominant.

They matchup well with the Heat and this is their chance to steal a game on the road. With Miami having a bit more of a layoff, the Celtics will be fresh while Miami tries to shake a little more rust off.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Celtics are 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back Boston. 

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -5

We're on the Celtics here in Game 7.

Boston fell behind 3-2 and took control in Game 6 early to send this one back to Boston for a winner take all match. Tatum is playing at another level right now and there is no slowing him down.

Look for Boston to feed off this home crowd energy, as they will look to get out early once again. With an early lead for the Celtics, Milwaukee will feel the pressure and be on their heels all afternoon long. Expect that to the case as the value sits here with the home side.

Some trends to note. Celtics are 20-8-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall.Celtics are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Boston -5.5

We're on the Celtics here in Game 5.

Boston stole back home court with a huge 4th quarter in Game 4 and now have all the momentum as they head back home.

The Celtics are just a much deeper team. The Bucks looked as if they ran out of gas in Game 4 and with even much more physical play expected here in Game 5, Milwaukee just may not have enough steam to keep up with the Celtics.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Boston. Bucks are 1-9-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

Back Boston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
