MIKE'S ANGELS/MARLINS MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Miami Marlins are still winless following a 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday night. This is their worst start in franchise history, but I like the price we get on the Marlins tonight with A.J. Puk (0-1, 18.00 ERA) on the mound. Puk was knocked around by Pittsburgh in his season debut, but the left-hander is 2-1 with a 2.35 ERA in eight career appearances against the Angels.

MIKE'S LATE-NIGHT MAVS/WARRIORS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Dallas Mavericks won 109-99 when they hosted the Golden State Warriors on March 13, and I expect another relatively low-scoring affair when they clash at Chase Center Tuesday night. 

Under is 18-7-1 in Warriors last 26 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Under is 19-9 in Warriors last 28 overall. Under is 56-27 in Mavericks last 83 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

This looks like a great spot to back the Cleveland Cavaliers to bounce back from a humbling 130-101 loss to the Nuggets in Denver. Tonight they'll take on a far easier opponent in a Utah Jazz team that is coming off a 127-106 loss in Sacramento and is winless and 2-7 ATS in its last nine games. 

Cavaliers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Jazz are 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Jazz are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

This looks like a good spot to fade the Pittsburgh Penguins who will play on short rest and off an upset win over the Rangers last night.

The New Jersey Devils will be looking to bounce back from a 5-2 loss to the Sabres in Buffalo on March 29.

The Devils won 5-2 when they hosted the Pens back on March 19, and they've won the last seven meetings. 

3* PLAY ON THE DEVILS. 

MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

I expect to see a hungry Miami Marlins come out fully focused as they're in desperate need of a win following an 0-5 start to the season. 

In his season debut, Marlins' right-hander Jesus Luzardo held Pittsburgh to two runs with eight strikeouts over five innings. Luzardo was 5-4 with an ERA of 2.99 in 19 home starts last season, and he has limited the Angels to two runs over 10 innings in previous meetings. 

Angels veteran left-hander Tyler Anderson will make his season debut today. Anderson typically struggles early in the season and owns a career ERA of 5.19 in Apri throughout his career

The New Orleans Pelicans and the Phoenix Suns are coming into the week in sixth and eighth place, respectively. With both teams in need of wins down the stretch, I think we'll see a low-scoring game of playoff character when they clash on Monday night. 

Under is 21-6 in Pelicans last 27 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5. Under is 5-1 in Suns last 6 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT

This looks like a good spot to fade the 3-0 Detroit Tigers while at the same time back the 0-3 New York Mets to pick up their first win of the season. 

Mets left-hander Sean Manaea is 3-2 with a 3.98 ERA in six career starts against the Tigers who were 16-22 against left-handers last season. 

The motivation should favor the winless Mets. 

3* PLAY ON THE METS. 

MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT

The Baltimore Orioles are coming off their first loss of the season. They were held to a disappointing three hits in a 4-1 loss to the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday after scoring 24 runs through the series' first two games. 

I expect them to bounce back with a strong effort tonight against a Royals team with Michael Wacha on the mound. Wacha has a 5.19 ERA in 10 career starts against the Orioles. 

Also, note that while we get the Orioles in a bounce-back spot, the Royals are in a completely opposite spot as they're coming off an 11-0 win over the Twins after scoring just one run per game through two losses to open the season. 

3* PLAY ON THE ORIOLES. 

MIKE'S 3-GAME MLB HIGH ROLLER REPORT

This looks like a good spot to fade the 3-0 Pittsburgh Pirates as they hand the ball to Marco Gonzales, who was 0-1 with an 8.64 ERA in five starts during spring training.

The 1-2 Washington Nationals counter with MacKenzie Gore, who was 0-0 with a 5.87 ERA in four starts during spring training.

It's hard to start the season 4-0, even for an elite team, and Pittsburgh is not an elite team ...

The Minnesota Timberwolves are holding opponents to an NBA-best 106.2 points per game on the season, but I think the bookmakers have set the total way too low for this Sunday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls. 

Over is 4-0 in Timberwolves last 4 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 8-0 in Bulls last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

In addition to the over, I also like the Bulls to cover the spread. The Wolves are in a potential flat spot following their 111-98 win over the Nuggets in Denver Friday night. The Bulls, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from a 125-108 loss as a road favorite in Brooklyn.

The Philadelphia 76ers are dealing with injuries, but they're still a much stronger team than the Toronto Raptors and I expect to see a focused and motivated Sixers team tonight as they look to end a three-game losing streak. 

76ers are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Raptors are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog of 11.0 or greater. Raptors are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Raptors are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as a home underdog.

Last season, the Orioles were a solid 36-19 (+$17.9% ROI) against left-handed starters, and they won 11-3 when they faced Angels' left-handed starter Patrick Sandoval in the season opener. They've outscored the Angels 24-7 through the first two games of this series, and I think they'll win easily again here against Angels' lefty Reid Detmers.

5* CBB TOURNEY ELITE 8 GAME OF THE YEAR

Both teams are coming into this NCAA Tournament West Regional final matchup off impressive upset wins against the top-two seeds in the Sweet 16, but I like the Alabama Crimson Tide to be the team to move on to the Final Four. 

Clemson defeated Bama 85-77 in Tuscaloosa in November, but that was part of a rough five-game losing streak for the Tide, who are in a much better position now.  

Bama scored 89 points on UNC last time out, and their 90.7 points per game is the best scoring average in the nation. Clemson has won as underdogs three times in the tournament, but this is where the Tigers run comes to an end.

This looks like a great spot to fade the Atlanta Hawks who are coming off back-to-back double-digit upset wins over the Boston Celtics. The Milwaukee Bucks, meanwhile, will be looking to bounce back from losses to the LA Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans.

Hawks are 9-19 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. Bucks are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5.

5* NHL EASTERN CONF GAME OF THE MONTH

This looks like an ideal spot to fade a Montreal Canadiens team coming off three consecutive upset wins. Tonight, they'll face a Carolina Hurricanes team that is as solid as always, and coming off a 4-0 win over the Detroit Red Wings.

The Canes are 4-1 SU as road favorites of -200 or more, and all wins came by at least two goals. 

5* PLAY ON THE HURRICANES -1.5. 

MIKE'S CELTICS/PELICANS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to back the Boston Celtics to bounce back from a pair of close losses as double-digit favories against the Hawks in Atlanta. The Celtics are too proud of a team to drop three in a row, and they're still a solid 14-5-1 ATS in their last 20 games overall and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5.

The Pelicans are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

MIKE'S 4* EPL SOCCER BOOKIE BU$TER

Aston Villa is coming into the weekend in fourth place, which would give them a spot in the Champions League next season if the season ended today.

Villa is desperate to get back on track after two winless games, and the team is a solid 10-1-3 home at Villa Park for the season.

Wolves are a mid-table team, and I don't think the visitors can match the home team's motivation and hunger.

MIKE'S CBB TOURNEY SWEET 16 GAME OF THE YEAR

The Tennessee Volunteers are 2-12-2 ATS in their last 16 NCAA Tournament games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 while the Creighton Bluejays are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as an underdog and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Vols have an edge of the defensive end, but they made only 33.8% of their shots when they knocked out Texas in the last round while Creighton has a lot of scoring threats.

5* PLAY ON CREIGHTON. 

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The San Diego Padres opened the season with a 6-4 win, and I like them to get another win Friday night with Joe Musgrove on the mound. Musgrove went 10-3 with a 3.05 ERA last season and he is 4-3 with a 3.86 ERA in 13 career starts against the Giants. 

San Francisco left-hander Kyle Harrison went 1-1 with a 4.15 ERA in seven starts in his rookie season last year. Harrison gave up six runs on six hits in 5 2/3 innings during a 6-1 defeat in his first and only start against the Padres who were 23-14 as favorites and facing a left-handed starter.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a fantastic spot to fade the Charlotte Hornets, who are coming off a 118-111 win as a 9.5-point underdog to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Since the All-Star break, underdogs off a win as an underdog are only 14-31 ATS, and the Warriors are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite of 11.0 or greater.

MIKE'S MLB MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

Logan Webb had a rough preseason, but I expect the Giants' ace to step up his game again in their regular-season opener.

Webb is 3-2 with a 2.50 ERA in 10 career outings (nine starts) against the Padres whose starter Yu Darvish is 2-3 with a 6.23 ERA in 11 career starts against the Giants.

Additionally, the early start is in our favor as Darvish has a 6-13 team record (-11.7 Units) against the money line in day games over the last 3 seasons. 

3* PLAY ON THE GIANTS. 

MIKE'S 4* MLB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Toronto right-hander Jose Berrios is 3-4 with a 4.91 ERA in 10 career starts against the Rays while Tampa Bay righty Zach Eflin is 2-2 with a 5.64 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against Toronto.

Eflin is solid though and finished last season 16-8 with a 3.50 ERA, so if Toronto has any edge on the mound at all (doubtful), the Rays make up for it with a better team overall and a big bullpen edge. 

4* PLAY ON THE RAYS. 

MIKE'S MLB RUNLINE RIPPER

The Cincinnati Reds are coming into the season aiming for a playoff run, but I don't think a win will come easy against a Washington Nationals team with Josiah Gray on the mound. Last season, the Nats went 18-10 against the runline as underdogs with Gray as the starter, and he has a 3.27 ERA in two career starts against the Reds.

This looks like a good spot to fade the San Antonio Spurs following their upset win as a 12-point underdog to the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

The Spurs are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win, and they'll face a Utah Jazz team looking to snap back from a 115-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

The Jazz are 19-9-2 ATS in their last 30 games following a double-digit loss at home and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5.

The Philadelphia 76ers are still in playoff contention despite being hit hard with injuries in the second half of the season. They defeated the Clippers 121-107 as a 9-point underdog on Sunday but took a loss to the Sacramento Kings the following night as they closed out a four-game road trip.

Both teams will play their third game in four nights, but it's a tougher spot for the shorhanded 76ers and I expect to see a hyper-motivated Clippers as they look to bounce back from losses to the Sixers and the Pacers. 

Clippers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5. 76ers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5. 76ers are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 home games.

The Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and in a letdown spot following back-to-back wins over the Sacramento Kings and the Toronto Raptors. The Wizards are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win.

The Kraken are 4-2 SU as home favorites laying -150 or more while the Habs are 8-21 as home underdogs and their opponent laying more than -150.

5* WESTERN CONF GAME OF THE WEEK 

The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a 104-91 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, but I would not be surprised if they lost outright when hosting the Golden State Warriors Sunday night. When fully fit, the Wolves would have a massive advantage in the paint, but that will not be the case for this game. Karl-Anthony Towns is sidelined, and Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable. Additionally, Anthony Edwards is also listed as questionable while the Warriors are coming into the game at full strength. 

The Warriors will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 123-111 loss as a home favorite over the Indiana Pacers. Warriors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss, 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss, and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

They'll visit a Heat team that is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

In addition to the Cavs covering the spread, I also like the under as I think the total is this low for a very good reason as both teams are dealing with injuries. Under is 20-6 in Cavaliers last 26 road games. Under is 12-4 in Heat last 16 home games. Under is 35-16 in Heat last 51 overall.

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The New York Islanders are desperate for a win following four consecutive losses. Still, a win won't come easy against the Carolina Hurricanes, who, unlike the Isles, are heating up just in time for the playoffs. The Canes are coming off a 7-2 win in Ottawa, making it eight wins in 10 games. 

While there is no doubt the Canes will make the playoffs, they're still jostling for the best seed possible. I expect another focused effort from them tonight as they look to avenge losses in the last two meetings with the Islanders. 

3* PLAY ON THE HURRICANES. 

5* NBA EAST vs. WEST GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

I like the red-hot Houston Rockets to come through with another big win when they visit the Wizards at Capital One Arena Tuesday night.

The Wizards lost 130-104 to the Boston Celtics a couple of nights ago and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.

The Rockets are coming off an impressive 117-103 win over Cleveland. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 11-4-1 ATS in their previous 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

5* PLAY ON THE ROCKETS. 

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Sacramento Kings took a 98-91 loss to the Knicks on Saturday. I expect to see more points when they host the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night. The Grizzlies have one of the worst scoring averages in the league and they play solid D, but I expect the high-paced Kings to drive up the tempo. 

Over is 28-12 in Kings last 40 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. Over is 5-1 in Grizzlies last 6 games as a road underdog.

4* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S BLAZERS/BULLS NBA TOTAL

The Chicago Bulls are coming off a 127-98 win over the Washington Wizards Saturday and the over is now 5-1 in Bulls last 6 games as a favorite. The Portland Trail Blazers lost 126-107 in New Orleans on Saturday. The over is 11-4 in Trail Blazers last 15 games as a road underdog of 5.0-10.5.

3* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S HEAT/SIXERS NBA TOTAL

The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a low-scoring 109-98 win over the Charlotte Hornets, and the under is 4-1 in their last five games. I think we'll see another relatively low-scoring affair Monday night when they host a Miami Heat team on a 6-0 run to the under. 

Under is 6-2 in 76ers last 8 home games. Under is 20-7 in Heat last 27 games as a road underdog. Under is 27-11 in Heat last 38 games as an underdog. Under is 19-7 in Heat last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

5* NBA EAST CONF GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET

The Boston Celtics are coming off a 127-112 win over Phoenix on Thursday. They're 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games and outscored their opponent by 10 points or more in all wins. The Washington Wizards are 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and were outscored by 10 points or more in all but one of the losses. 

The Celtics will play on two days of rest, while the Wizards will play on no rest following their 127-98 win in Chicago last night. This game has a major blowout written all over it. 

Celtics are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 2 days rest. Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest.

MIKE'S RED WINGS/PENGUINS NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

This looks like a good spot to fade a Detroit Red Wings team that ended a seven-game losing streak with a 4-1 win over the Buffalo Sabres yesterday. The Pittsburgh Penguins will also play on no rest but with more motivation (IMO) as they look to bounce back from a 7-4 loss to the New York Rangers. 

Penguins are 7-3 SU when playing on 0 days rest on the season, and perfect 2-0 SU in back-to-back situations at home. 

3* PLAY ON THE PENGUINS. 

MIKE'S HURRICANES/SENS NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The Carolina Hurricanes will play on short rest following a shootout win in Toronto last night.

The Ottawa Senators are in a similar spot though, coming off a 4-3 OT road win as an underdog against the Islanders. That was their third consecutive win, all post-regulation. I think they'll run out of luck here against a superior Carolina side. 

Senators are 3-6 SU when playing on 0 days rest on the season. 

3* PLAY ON THE HURRICANES. 

MIKE'S DEVILS/KNIGHTS NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

Both teams will be looking to bounce back from disappointing losses, but the Vegas Golden Knights have had two days to prepare for this game, while the New Jersey Devils will play on no rest following a 4-1 loss as a road favorite in Arizona last night. 

Devils are 5-19 SU in their last 24 games as underdogs and 3-8 SU in their last 11 games on the road. Knights are 6-0 SU in their last 6 games on home ice on a Sunday.

3* PLAY ON THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS. 

5* SEC TOURNAMENT CBB GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

I like the Auburn Tigers to win and cover when they clash with the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship game on Sunday. Auburn has been heavily favored throughout the tournament, this is the lowest number they've been asked to cover, while Florida was an underdog to Alabama in the quarterfinals and a short favorite over Texas A&M in the semis. 

Florida won the first meeting of the season on Feb 10, but that was in Gainesville. I think Auburn's edge on the defensive end is too much for Florida to handle. 

5* PLAY ON AUBURN TIGERS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The Memphis Grizzlies have had their season ruined by injuries, and they've been particularly limited offensively. Defensively, they've been doing just fine, holding opponents to a respectable 112.2 points per game (9th). 

Under is 36-17-2 in Grizzlies last 55 home games. Under is 9-4-1 in Grizzlies last 14 games playing on 2 days rest. Under is 5-2 in Thunder last 7 games as a favorite.

MIKE'S KINGS/STARS NHL MONEYLINE

This looks like a good spot to fade the Los Angeles Kings, who will play on short rest following a 5-0 win in Chicago last night. Tonight, they'll face a hungrier and more motivated team in the Dallas Stars, who will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back home losses. 

3* PLAY ON THE STARS. 

MIKE'S WILD/BLUES NHL MONEYLINE

The Minnesota Wild hit the road again, coming off three consecutive home wins. They'll be looking to avenge a 3-1 home loss to the Blues on March 2 and I think the Blues are in a letdown spot following a pair of upset wins over the Boston Bruins and the Los Angeles Kings. 

3* PLAY ON THE WILD. 

MIKE'S BLAZERS/PELICANS NBA TOTAL

The Portland Trail Blazers have had trouble with their scoring all season, and even more so of late as they've been held to 99, 106, and 93 points through their last three games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been one of the best teams in the league on the defensive end throughout the season, and they held the New Orleans Pelicans to just 95 points last time out.

The New Jersey Devils are 6-2 in their last 8 visits in Arizona and 19-8 SU in their last 27 games as favorites. Tonight, they'll be looking to avenge a 4-3 shootout loss when they hosted the Yotes back in October. The Coyotes are 4-15 SU in their last 19 games as underdogs. 

3* PLAY ON THE DEVILS. 

MIKE'S 5* ATLANTIC 10 TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET

The VCU Rams won 73-69 when they hosted the St. Joseph's Hawks on Feb 25. I think we'll see an even tighter game when they clash in the Atlantic 10 Championship Semifinal Saturday afternoon. The feisty Hawks are coming off wins as 2-point and 2.5-point underdogs against George Mason and Richmond, respectively, and their 3-point shooting will be a big problem for VCu to solve.

5* PLAY ON ST. JOE'S. 

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The San Antonio Spurs have played reasonably well on the defensive end lately, with 113, 112 and 103 points allowed through their last three games. The Denver Nuggets are more than capable of running up the score if they want to, but I think they'll be satisfied just to do enough to get the win.

Under is 16-5-1 in Spurs last 22 overall. Under is 7-1 in Spurs last 8 games as a home underdog. Under is 22-8-2 in Nuggets last 32 games as a road favorite. Under is 7-1 in Nuggets last 8 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.

Pistons are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.eat are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games.

In addition to the Heat to cover the spread, I also like the under as many trends point toward a relatively low-scoring affair.

MIKE'S EARLY 4* MISS STATE/TENNESSEE CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Mississippi State Bulldogs came into the SEC Tournament on a four-game losing streak, but they opened the tourney with a 70-60 win over LSU. I think they can keep it somewhat close here against the Tennessee Volunteers, who enter the tournament Friday night.

The New York Knicks are coming off a 106-79 knockout of the Philadelphia 76ers.

MIKE'S MAVS/THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Golden State Warriors in a low-scoring 109-99 win last last night, but they are still 21-8 to the over in their last 29 vs. a team with a winning straight up record and tired legs might cost them on the defensive end here against an OKC Thunder team that is 6-0 to the over in its last 6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

This looks like a good spot to fade the Denver Nuggets who had to battle back from a 20-point deficit when they defeated the Toronto Raptors Monday night. They'll face a Miami Heat team that currently sits in eighth place in the East, but needs to build momentum again and end a three-game losing streak ASAP. 

Heat are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nuggets are 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite.

MIKE'S RAPTORS/PISTONS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Toronto Raptors who coughed up a 20-point lead in their 125-119 loss to the Nuggets Monday night.

Tonight they'll face a Detroit Pistons team that is a solid 18-8 ATS in its last 26 games and perfect 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

MIKE'S KANSAS STATE/TEXAS CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Texas Longhorns defeated the Kansas State Wildcats 62-56 on Feb 19, and I think they'll get the win and cover when they clash in the Big 12 Tournament Wednesday night.

Kansas State closed out the regular season with a win as an underdog against Iowa State, but was otherwise inconsistent down the stretch while the Longhorns were 3-0-1 AST in their last eight games, with three outright wins and the lone loss as an 8-point underdog at Baylor.

3* PLAY ON THE AVALANCHE. 

MIKE'S 4* PACERS/THUNDER NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently the No.1 seed in the West, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.

Additionally, they're 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. 

The Indiana Pacers defeated the Magic 111-97 on the road in their last game, but they're 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

4* PLAY ON THE THUNDER. 

MIKE'S RANGERS/HURRICANES MONEYLINE

The New York Rangers took a 6-1 loss when they hosted the Carolina Hurricanes back in January, and this looks like a tough spot to exact revenge as they'll be playing on short rest following a 3-1 win over the New Jersey Devils last night. The Rangers are only 2-5 as an underdog on the season. 

3* PLAY ON THE HURRICANES. 

MIKE'S PENS/SENS NHL MONEYLINE

The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off three losses and have only one win in their last seven games, but they're still in better shape than the Ottawa Senators who have lost seven in a row. The Sens are allowing 3.55 goals per game which is one of the worst marks in the NHL, so this looks like a good spot for the Pens offense to come alive after getting shut out by the Oilers in their last game.

MIKE'S 4* WARRIORS/SPURS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a fantastic spot to back the Golden State Warriors to avenge a 126-113 loss as a double-digit favorite against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. That was about as bad as we've seen the Warriors this season, and while they'll still be without Steph Curry (ankle), there's enough talent on this side to destroy a team like the Spurs if they want to, and I expect the motivation to be there for this game. 

Warriors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Spurs are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win.

The Cleveland Cavaliers headed into the weekend as the 2nd seed in the East with their 41-22 record and defeated the Nets 118-95 in Brooklyn last month. 

This looks like a tough spot for the Nets who are in the middle of a five-game road trip and will play on back-to-back nights on the road. The Nets are 0-6-1 ATS on the season when playing on 0 days rest as underdogs.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* SPURS/WARRIORS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

The Golden State Warriors won 118-112 when they hosted the San Antonio Spurs back in November, but I think they'll win this game by a bigger number. The Spurs played the Sacramento Kings close in a 131-129 loss Thursday night, but that might come at a price as consistency has been an issue for the Spurs all season.

The Golden State Warriors are looking to bounce back from a 125-122 loss as an 8.5-point favorite against the Chicago Bulls.

Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Warriors are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite.

The Boston Celtics are as per usual your regular season champions while the Denver Nuggets are quite happy to just make sure they're one of the top teams in the West.
