MIKE'S WILD/COYOTES NHL MONEYLINE

'The Minnesota Wild won 3-1 here at Mullett Arena on Feb 14 and I like the price we get on them to record another win tonight. The Arizona Coyotes have lost eight of their last 10 games and have nothing to play for, unlike the Wild who are fighting for a playoff spot. 

3* PLAY ON THE WILD. 

MIKE*S SABRES/PREDATORS NHL MONEYLINE

I like the Nashville Predators to bounce back with a win after having an eight-game winning streak end with an OT loss in Montreal Tuesday night. The Buffalo Sabres are coming off back-to-back losses, the most recent a 2-1 setback in Toronto last night. They have had major issues finding the net lately while the Preds have averaged 4.20 goals per game over their last 10.

3* PLAY ON THE PREDATORS. 

MIKE'S MAPLE LEAFS/BRUINS NHL MONEYLINE

This looks like a great spot to back the Boston Rruins to pick up a win against a Toronto Maple Leafs team that will play on short rest following a 2-1 win over Buffalo last night. The Bruins have won the last six meetings and they'll be looking to bounce back from an OT loss to Edmonton on Tuesday in the second game of a back-to-back situation.

3* PLAY ON THE BRUINS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

We saw 235 points with a closing total of 238 when these two teams clashed back in November. The Sacramento Kings average a healthy 118.0 ppg on the season (8th), but that number drops when they're on the road and  I think this will be another relatively low-scoring affair. 

Under is 14-3 in Lakers last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 43-21-1 in Lakers last 65 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5. Under is 19-7 in Kings last 26 games as a road underdog of 0.5-4.5.

5* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S LATE THUNDER/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

I like the Oklahoma City Thunder to cover the number as a double-digit favorite in Portland tonight. The Thunder will be looking to bounce back from a 116-104 loss to the Lakers in LA and they are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and the Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog of 11.0 or greater.

3* PLAY ON THE THUNDER. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

Neither the Dallas Mavericks nor the Indiana Pacers are playing well at the moment, but I like the Dallas Mavericks to bounce back with a solid outing tonight after losing to the Sixers as a 7.5-point favorite in their last game. The Mavs are 7-1-1 ATS off a loss as a favorite and the Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games.

5* PLAY ON THE MAVS. 

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

The New Orleans Pelicans have seen their last five games go under the total and they are 9-4-1 to the under in their last 14 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The under is 9-2 in Raptors last 11 games as a home underdog.

4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

MIKE'S OILERS/BRUINS MONEYLINE

This looks like a tough spot for the Boston Bruins who will play on short rest following a 4-1 win in Toronto last night. They've lost four of their last six games and tonight they'll face an Edmonton team that is on a roll coming off four consecutive wins.

3* PLAY ON THE OILERS. 

MIKE'S BLUES/ISLANDERS MONEYLINE

This looks like a good spot to fade the St. Louis Blues who are coming off back-to-back upset wins, the most recent a shootout win in Philadelphia last night. This is a revenge spot for the Isles after losing 4-0 in St. Louis on Feb 22.

3* PLAY ON THE ISLANDERS. 

MIKE'S PANTHERS/DEVILS MONEYLINE

The Florida Panthers will play on no rest following a 4-2 win over the Rangers in New York last night, but I think they'll have enough gas left in the tank to defeat a Devils team that is only 14-15-2 at home. The Devils have struggled on the defensive end lately, and tonight they'll be led by interim coach Travis Green following the firing of coach Lindy Ruff on Monday, which is far from ideal when facing a quality team like the Panthers. 

3* PLAY ON THE PANTHERS. 

MIKE'S 4* BULLS/KINGS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago Bulls to bounce back with a strong effort following a 113-97 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last Friday. The Bulls are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS loss, 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 2 days rest. 

The Kings are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 home games and 4-11 ATS in their last 15 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.

4* PLAY ON THE BULLS. 

MIKE'S CLIPPERS/BUCKS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Los Angeles Clippers following their win on the road in Minnesota last night. They'll face a Milwaukee Bucks team that will play on two days rest after a comfortable win in Chicago Friday night. 

Bucks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5. Clippers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

3* PLAY ON THE BUCKS.

MIKE'S 4* PANTHERS/RANGERS NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Florida Panthers are a solid 21-8-2 on the road this season. They've won 18 of 22 games as road favorites and 20 of 31 road games against teams with a winning record. 

4* PLAY ON THE PANTHERS. 

MIKE'S THUNDER/SUNS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a tough spot for the Phoenix Suns who will play on no rest following a 118-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday. The Oklahoma City Thunder last played on Thursday when they saw their six-game winning streak come to a halt with a 132-118 loss in San Antonio. I expect the well-rested Thunder to run away with this game. 

Thunder are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Suns are 7-16 ATS in their last 23 games as an underdog.

3* PLAY ON THE THUNDER.

MIKE'S 4* CLIPPERS/WOLVES NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The 42-18 Minnesota Timberwolves have a better record than the 38-20 Los Angeles Clippers, but I would argue that LAC is the better team and it looks like the betting market agrees.

I like the Clippers to win this game as the Wolves' top scorer Anthony Edwards is expected to miss the game (personal). 

Clippers are coming off 140-115 rout of the Washington Wizards, and they are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

3* PLAY ON THE CLIPPERS.

MIKE'S 4* WARRIORS/CELTICS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY

The over/under is 8-3 in the last 10 meetings, and I expect this to be another relatively low-scoring affair. 

Under is 20-8 in Warriors last 28 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 20-7 in Celtics last 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

4* PLAY ON THE UNDER.

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

Both teams are dealing with injuries, which most likely will result in a lower-scoring game than the betting market anticipates.

Nuggets' Jamal Murray is listed as questionable with a sprained right ankle. Lakers' Lebron James is also listed as questionable (ankle) while Anthony Davis is listed as probable (Achilles), and these are just the more notable names as both teams have more players banged up. 

Under is 16-5 in Lakers last 21 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 14-4 in Nuggets last 18 overall. Under is 18-7-1 in Nuggets last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

4* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S ISLANDERS/BRUINS TOTAL

Both the Boston Bruins and the New York Islanders scored five goals in their last game, but I like the under in this game as I think regression is likely as it's difficult to bring the energy needed for that kind of output in consecutive games, even for a talented team like the Bruins. 

3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S RANGERS/MAPLE LEAFS MONEYLINE

The New York Rangers are a solid 19-10-3 on the road for the season, but I think they're about to run into serious trouble in Toronto Saturday night. These are two of the hottest teams in the NHL, but note that the Leafs are 6-1 in their last 7 games when playing as the favorite while the Rangers are 2-4 as underdogs on the season. 

3* PLAY ON THE MAPLE LEAFS.

MIKE'S WILD/BLUES MONEYLINE

The Minnesota Wild are coming off losses to Carolina and Nashville, but tonight they'll face a more manageable opponent in the reeling St. Louis Blues who have lost five of their last six games. The Wild have won the last three meetings and I think they'll come through for us in this game. 

3* PLAY ON THE WILD. 

MIKE'S TEXAS TECH/WEST VIRGINIA CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

The West Virginia Mountaineers covered the spread in a 94-90 loss at Kansas State in their last game, but they are just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS win and 16-33 ATS in their last 49 games as an underdog.

3* PLAY ON TEXAS TECH. 

MIKE'S USC/WASHINGTON CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Washington Huskies are coming off a 94-77 win over UCLA but they are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win. The Trojans are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

3* PLAY ON USC. 

MIKE'S MAVS/CELTICS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Boston Celtics are steaming hot, coming into this game on a nine-game winning streak and they've covered the spread in four straight games. The Dallas Mavericks are almost just as hot going 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games, but I don't think they'll stand much of a chance against this Boston team that won 119-110 as a 2.5-point favorite in Dallas on January 22. 

3* PLAY ON THE CELTICS. 

GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT - 5* CAVS/PISTONS MAX BET

This looks like a great spot to back the Cleveland Cavaliers to bounce back from a loss as a road favorite in Chicago on Wednesday. The Detroit Pistons are in a letdown spot after defeating that same Bulls team as a double-digit underdog on Tuesday. 

The Cavs are due for a breakout game after going 0-7 ATS in their last seven games, and this looks like the ideal situation. 

5* PLAY ON THE CAVS. 

MIKE'S THUNDER/SPURS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL

The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a low-scoring 112-95 win over Houston, but they are 8-1-1 to the over in their last 10 games and they defeated the Spurs 140-114 when they visited Frost Bank Center just over a month ago.

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The Minnesota Wild are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games, but here they'll face a red hot Nashville Predators team that is going for its seventh win in a row.

3* PLAY ON THE PREDATORS. 

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

The reeling New York Knicks took a 115-92 beating by the hands of the New Orleans Pelicans Tuesday night, and I think they're in for another tough game when the Golden State Warriors come to town tonight. The Warriors are a steaming hot 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. The Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 10-22 ATS in their last 32 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

4* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS. 

MIKE'S BUCKS/HORNETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Milwaukee Bucks put a 123-85 beating on the Hornets here at Spectrum Center on Tuesday, and I think they'll keep pushing and steamroll the Hornets again tonight. 

Hornets are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Hornets are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

3* PLAY ON THE BUCKS.

MIKE'S NHL PUCKLINE PUNISHER

The Columbus Blue Jackets are 1-6 SU and 2-5 against the puckline as home underdogs of +180 or longer. The Carolina Hurricanes are 4-1 SU and 3-2 against the puckline as road favorites laying -180 or more. While only a 60% hit rate, the situation has generated an ROI of +22.75% due to the odds. 

3* PLAY ON THE HURRICANES -1.5. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Detroit Red Wings are one of the hottest teams in the NHL, but I think their five-game winning streak will come to an end when they host the New York Islanders Thursday night.

The Isles snapped a two-game slide with a 3-2 OT win in Dallas on Monday, and they'll come into this game on an exra day of rest compared to the Red Wings who are coming off an 8-3 win over the Washington Capitals. You will rarely go wrong fading a team of a big win, and I think Detroit is likely to come out flat tonight. 

3* PLAY ON THE ISLANDERS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK

The under is 4-0 in the Chicago Bulls' last four games following a 105-95 loss to Detroit on Tuesday. Tonight they'll face a Cleveland Cavaliers team that is one of the stingiest teams in the league on the defensive end and each of the last four h2h matchups has gone under the total.

Under is 7-2 in Timberwolves last 9 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. Under is 6-2-1 in Spurs last 9 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater. Under is 9-2-1 in Spurs last 12 games as an underdog.

The Boston Bruins are only 2-0-3 in their last five games with each game decided in OT or a shootout. They're heading to Seattle off back-to-back OT losses in Calgary and Vancouver, but I think they'll end that skid here against a Kraken team that can't match the talent of the Bruins.

MIKE'S NUGGETS/WARRIORS SIDE

I like the Golden State Warriors to win outright in a relatively low-scoring game when they host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season (8-2 SU and ATS L10), but still need to make up ground to make the playoffs.

This is also a revenge game for the Warriors after losing 130-127 when they hosted Denver on Jan 4, and things are clicking a lot better for the Warriors this time around. 

Warriors are 39-19-1 ATS in their last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nuggets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win.

MIKE'S EARLY BUCKS/SIXERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

I like the Milwaukee Bucks as a road favorite in this matinee matchup in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon. The Milwaukee Bucks have not played great of late, but I think they'll be looking to make a statement, and with Joel Embiid sidelined, I don't see how the Sixers can keep up with the Bucks.

Perhaps the players enjoyed a night out in Vegas following the win, and if so they'll pay the price tonight.

The South Florida Bulls are having a great season, and they are 10-0 SU and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games. The Texas-San Antonio Roadrunners did just enough to cover the spread in an 83-77 loss at Temple in their last game, but they've struggled on the defensive end all season allowing 83.4 points per game while USF has been holding opponents to a respectable 68.8 ppg.

The Vancouver Canucks are coming into this game with the better record, but also off a pair of setbacks, the most recent being a 10-7 loss in Minnesota last night.

MIKE'S UCONN/CREIGHTON CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The UConn Huskies defeated the Creighton Bluejays 62-48 on Jan 17, but I expect the Bluejays to put up a better fight at home. The Bluejays are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog, and they'll not only be looking to avenge the loss from last month, but also deny the Huskies to become the first Big East team to ever put together a 15-game winning streak in conference play.

The slumping Calgary Flames have been shut out in two of their last three games (they lost all three games), and they even lost to the San Jose Sharks as a -300 favorite.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are 8-2 to the under in their last 10 games and the total has gone under in eight of Pittsburgh’s last 11 games as a favorite. The total has gone under in eight of the Los Angeles Kings' last 11 games when playing as the underdog.

MIKE'S 4* NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The red-hot New York Rangers are proving to be just as dangerous on the road as they are at Madison Square Garden. Heading into Sunday's game on a six-game winning streak, they face the Islanders who have had a "rest advantage" with four days off compared to the Rangers' two. However, this extended rest might not necessarily work in the Islanders' favor as they could risk losing focus and getting out of sync.

4* PLAY ON THE RANGERS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB GAME OF THE MONTH

The Quinnipiac Bobcats are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following an ATS loss, a trend that is applicable for this game as they're coming off a 96-79 loss as a 1.5-point road favorite against Mount St. Mary's. Additionally, the Bobcats are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games while the Niagara Purple Eagles are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Sunday games.

MIKE'S 4* NHL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Vegas Golden Knights have a huge rest advantage as they'll be playing on four days rest while the Carolina Hurricanes will be playing on no rest following a 4-1 win in Arizona last night. This is also somewhat of a revenge spot for the Knights after losing the first meeting of the season 6-3 at Carolina back in December. 

4* PLAY ON THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS. 

MIKE'S CAPS/CANADIENS NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMACHINE

This looks like a good spot to back the Washington Capitals to avenge two losses to the Montreal Canadiens on the season, the most recent being a 5-2 setback on Feb 6. They're just 2-8 in their last 10 games, but the Habs are only marginally better through their last 10 games.

We can also note that the Canadiens are 7-16 as home underdogs on the season, and fading them blindly in this sport has generated an ROI of +9.4%. 

3* PLAY ON THE CAPITALS. 

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Maryland Terrapins are 14-11 on the season, but 11-3 at home. The Terrapins are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog and they have dominated Illinois in recent seasons, winning six of the last seven meetings outright while going 5-2 ATS. The Fighting Illini have won four of their last five outright, but they are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

4* PLAY ON THE MARYLAND TERRAPINS. 

MIKE'S PREDATORS/BLUES NHL MONEYLINE MONEYMAKER

The Nashville Predators are only 1-5 in their last six games, but I expect them to regroup and show up tonight after getting humiliated in a 9-2 home loss to the Dallas Stars in their last game. The St. Louis Blues are 8-2 in their last 10 games, but it's tough to keep playing at that level consistently, especially for a non-elite team like the Blues. 

3* PLAY ON THE PREDATORS. 

MIKE'S CBB TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER

The slumping Valparaiso Beacons have struggled on the offense end of the hardwood all season, and here they'll face a Missouri State Bears team that is 5-1 to the under in its last 6 games as a home favorite.

3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. 

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The VCU Rams are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. The Saint Louis Billikens gave the Saint Josephs Hawks a scare in an 87-86 loss as a 10-point underdog in their last game, but note that the Billikens are 6-15-1 ATS in their last 22 games following an ATS win.

4* PLAY ON VCU.

MIKE'S 4* NOVA/GTOWN CBB TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Villanova Wildcats are coming off an 80-54 win over Seton Hall, the third time in their last five games they finished a game with 80 points or more. I think they'll be able to put up a fair amount of points here against the Georgetown Hoyas who are allowing 77.2 points per game. 

Over is 4-1 in Wildcats last 5 games as a favorite.Over is 8-1 in Hoyas last 9 games as an underdog.

4* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like a good spot to fade the Memphis Grizzlies following their upset win over the Houston Rockets last night. They're shorthanded, so playing on no rest will be a big challenge for the Grizzlies who'll face a Milwaukee Bucks team that is looking to bounce back from a humiliating 20+ point home loss against Miami.  

4* PLAY ON THE MILWAUKEE BUCKS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NHL GAME OF THE MONTH

The Dallas Stars are hot with five wins in six games and they are 9-2-1 in their past 12 games. The Nashville Predators are slumping with only three wins in 10 games and they've allowed four goals or more in five straight games. I don't see how they stop a Dallas team that is firing on all cylinders. 

5* PLAY ON THE STARS. 

MIKE'S LAKERS/JAZZ NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off a couple of dominant wins over the New Orleans Pelicans and the Detroit Pistons, but this looks like a tough spot as they'll be playing on short rest. The Lakers are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 0 days rest, 4-9 ATS following back-to-back wins this season and 2-6 ATS following back-to-back ATS covers. Additionally, we should see a hungry Utah Jazz team that is coming off a pair of losses to the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns. 

3* PLAY ON THE UTAH JAZZ. 

MIKE'S KINGS/NUGGETS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Denver Nuggets took a 112-95 beating in Milwaukee Monday night. They've now lost back-to-back games, and I expect them to come out strong here against a Sacramento Kings team that will be playing on no rest after battling the Suns in Phoenix last night. Kings are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 0 days rest.

3* PLAY ON THE NUGGETS.

MIKE'S WIZARDS/PELICANS NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER TOTAL

The New Orleans Pelicans are coming off back-to-back low-scoring games; a 93-84 win over the Portland Trail Blazers and a 96-87 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Under is 8-1 in Pelicans last 9 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater and 7-1 in Wizards last 8 games as a road underdog.

MIKE'S PACERS/RAPTORS NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

MAX BET ALERT - 5* HAWKS/HORNETS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a 136-126 loss to the Chicago Bulls, but they are 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games. I think they'll bounce back with a strong outing tonight against a Charlotte Hornets team in a potential letdown spot following back-to-back upset wins over the Memphis Grizzlies and the Indiana Pacers.  

5* PLAY ON THE ATLANTA HAWKS. 

MIKE'S WOLVES/BLAZERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

This looks like a good spot to fade the Minnesota Timberwovles following back-to-back statement wins on the road; first against the Bucks in Milwaukee and most recently the Clippers in LA last night. The Portland Trail Blazers meanwhile should be hungry as they're coming off four losses. 

Trail Blazers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Trail Blazers are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Timberwolves are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

3* PLAY ON THE BLAZERS. 

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

Both teams are coming off losses, but I think the Phoenix Suns will be the team to bounce back with a win. 

The Suns had recorded three impressive wins before losing to a Steph Curry 3-pointer with 2.5 seconds left on the clock on Saturday, and they have had an additional day of rest compared to the Sacramento Kings who lost 127-113 in Oklahoma City on Sunday.  

4* PLAY ON THE PHOENIX SUNS.

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The Colorado Avalanche are 0-3-1 in their last four games, but I expect to see a determined and hungry Avs team here following a shut out loss at Florida on Saturday night. Tonight they'll face a Washington Capitals team mired in an even bigger slump with only one win in eight games. 

3* PLAY ON THE AVALANCHE. 

MIKE'S LATE WARRIORS/JAZZ NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Golden State Warriors have heated up and here they'll face a Utah Jazz team they have owned in recent seasons. The Warriors are 7-3 SU and 7-2-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings with the Jazz and Warriors are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

3* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS.

MIKE'S NUGGETS/BUCKS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

This looks like a great spot to back the Denver Nuggets to bounce back from a 135-106 loss to the Kings in Sacramento on Friday. They had won three in a row before that setback and here they'll face a Milwaukee Bucks team that is going through a minor slump and dealing with injuries on key players.

3* PLAY ON THE NUGGETS. 

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

The San Antonio Spurs are 8-2 to the under in their last 10 games, but I think we'll see tonight's matchup against the Toronto Raptors go over the total. I expect a big offensive outing from the home team after being held to 95 points in a loss to Cleveland in their last game. 

4* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S NINERS/CHIEFS SIDE TOP PLAY

I've backed the Chiefs for profits in every game through the postseason, and I think they're undervalued by the betting market once again here in the Super Bowl. Their defense is so underrated, and combine that with a future Hall of Fame quarterback in Patrick Mahomes and you have a team that should not be an underdog to anyone. 

In addition to backing the Chiefs, I also like the under as I think the defenses will dominate the game.

MIKE'S KINGS/THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't stand a chance in last night's 146-111 loss in Dallas. I expect them to bounce back with a strong outing against the Sacramento Kings on Super Bowl Sunday.

The fact that they're favorites despite playing on short rest is quite telling IMO, and I would not be surprised to see the visitors come out flat following their blowout win over the Denver Nuggets on Friday. 

3* PLAY ON THE THUNDER. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The Vancouver Canucks are a solid 16-8-3 on the road this season and the Washington Capitals have lost 10 of their 15 games as home underdogs. 

This looks like a great spot to back the Canucks to shake off losses to Boston and Detroit while at the same time fading a Caps team that snapped a six-game skid with a 3-0 win in Boston last night. 

3* PLAY ON THE CANUCKS. 

MAX BET ALERT - 5* EPL SOCCER TOTAL OF THE MONTH

While Aston Villa has been going through a minor slump, they're still capable of scoring. Each of Villa's last three games has seen four goals or more and United has been heating up on the offensive end as well, scoring three goals or more in three consecutive games and two goals or more in each of their last five. 

I expect both teams to score plenty, similar to as their previous encounter where United came from behind to win 3-2.

5* PLAY ON THE OVER. 

MIKE'S NHL MONEYLINE MA$$ACRE

The New Jersey Devils have a 14-9-1 road record, but they have lost eight of 10 as road underdogs. The Hurricanes are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings and I'll gladly back them at this price.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK

The Kentucky Wildcats won 109-77 against Vanderbilt on the road in their last game, and they have scored 87+ points in eight of their last 10 games. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5.

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are coming off a 96-64 win over the Portland Pilots, but they are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game, 6-17-1 ATS in their last 24 games following an ATS win and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off an upset loss in Utah on Feb 6, but they are 7-3 in their last 10 games and they'll come into this game well-rested

The Mavericks are in a potential letdown spot following a three-game road trip sweep with stops in Philadelphia, Brooklyn and New York, and Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are listed as questionable for this contest. 

Mavericks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Thunder are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Thunder are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest.

This looks like a great spot to back the Sacramento Kings to get a win following losses to Cleveland and Detroit. They'll host a Denver Nuggets team that will play on no rest after battling it out with the Lakers in LA last night. 

Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Nuggets are 0-5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. Nuggets are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Nuggets are 7-15-1 ATS in their last 23 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The Pittsburgh Penguins have won nine of the last 10 meetings with the Minnesota Wild. They last faced each other on Dec 17 when the Pens won 4-3 at home, and I think they'll get us a W on the road in Minnesota tonight. 

The Wild are just 1-6 as home underdogs this season and had problems putting the Chicago Blackhawks away as a -200 favorite in their first game back from the All-Star break while the Pens are coming off an impressive 3-0 win over Winnipeg.

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

The Houston Rockets are coming off a 132-129 loss in Indiana while the Toronto Raptors picked up a rare win when they defeated Charlotte 123-117 Wednesday night. The Rockets won 135-106 when they hosted the Raptors a week ago, the fifth straight meeting to go over the total, and I expect this to be another relatively high-scoring affair when they clash Friday night. 

Over is 16-4 in Raptors last 20 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Over is 7-1 in Rockets last 8 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5. Over is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game.
