TOP-RATED 10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK

West Ham is having a great season, entering Sunday at fifth-place in the table. Still, while the Hammers have been beating up on the weaker teams, they've more often than not come up short when facing other top-teams. Here they'll come up against a Manchester United team brimming with confidence after defeating local rivals Manchester City in its last EPL game. We can also note that West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard (on loan from Man U) won't be available for this contest.

TOP-RATED 10* CBB GAME OF THE WEEK | A10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME

The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are coming off an impressive 71-53 rout of Saint Louis. They held the Billikens to 19-of-52 (37%) shooting from the field and look good to get the job done here in the Atlantic 10 Championship game against the VCU Rams. 

While the Rams are solid on the defensive end, they do not have the three-point shooting to keep pace with the Bonnies and they also turn the ball over far too frequently to be trusted. 

Rams are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog. Bonnies are 36-16-2 ATS in their last 54 games as a favorite. Bonnies are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Montreal Canadiens have picked up seven of their 12 overall wins on the road. This looks like a good spot back the Habs to avenge a 2-1 loss to the Flames a couple of days ago. The Flames are 0-5 in their last 5 games following a win and 2-10 in their last 12 games as an underdog. The Canadiens are 6-2 in the last 8 meetings.

10* play on Montreal Canadiens. 

CAPS @ FLYERS 8* NHL BOOKIE BOMBER

These two teams have been trending in opposite directions lately. While the Flyers have dropped four of their last six games, the Caps are on a roll with eight wins in 10 games. I'm taking the contrarian route for this one though as I think we'll see a reaction from the Flyers following a 4-3 loss to Washington a couple of nights ago. Flyers are 15-3 in their last 18 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game and 35-16 in their last 51 games as a home favorite.

8* play on Philadelphia Flyers. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Milwaukee Bucks are 21-15-1 to the over on the season. Last time out, they came through with a 134-101 win over the Knicks, and here they'll face a defensively challenged Wizards team that is allowing 119.6 ppg on the season. Both these teams have plenty of scorers, and I don't think the bookmakers can make the total high enough for this one. 

10* play on OVER. 

CINCINNATI VS WICHITA STATE 8* AAC TOURNEY BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Cincinnati Bearcats are only 7-14 ATS on the season. They're coming off an upset win against SMU, but they faced a rusty Mustangs team that had not played a game since Feb. 8 because of a COVID-19 shutdown. I think the Bearcats' AAC tournament adventure ends here in the semifinals versus Wichita State.

The Shockers showed great heart and resilience as they came from behind to defeat South Florida in the quarterfinals. Wichita State defeated Cincinnati 82-76 on Jan. 10 in the team's lone regular-season meeting, and I expect another Shockers win here. 

8* play on Wichita State. 

EARLY KNICKS @ THUNDER 8* NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The New York Knicks are 23-15 to the under on the season. They rank first for several defensive stats but their offense is pitiful. The Oklahoma City Thunder are also struggling to score with only 106.2 ppg. In their last game, the Knicks took a 134-101 loss to Milwaukee, but the Thunder are unlikely to put up a similar number. 

8* play on UNDER.

SUPER EARLY TENNESSEE VS ALABAMA 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

Good spot to back the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide who cruised by Mississippi State in a 85-48 rout on Friday. The Tennessee Volunteers had to spend far more energy in their 78-66 victory over Florida and senior forward John Fulkerson could miss this game after suffering two brutal elbows to his head. "He took pretty two good licks right there, and I would be surprised if he plays," Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said.

Alabama beat the Volunteers, 71-63 back on Jan. 2 and should get the job done again here in the SEC semifinal. 

10* play on Alabama. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL

The Denver Nuggets are 23-13 to the over on the season and the over is 20-6 in Nuggets last 26 games as a road favorite. They'll be well-rested and ready for a fast-paced game coming out of the All-Star break, They'll face a Memphis Grizzlies team that already has played a high-scoring game since the break, a 127-112 win over Washington. I fully expect to see 230+ points in this game. 

10* play on OVER. 

OHIO STATE VS PURDUE BANKROLL BUILDER

Really like the No. 9 Ohio State Buckeyes as a small favorite against the No. 20 Purdue Boilermakers here in the quarterfinal of the Big Ten tournament. The Buckeyes are severely underrated after failing to cover the number in five straight games and losing four straight-up, but they did defeat Minnesota last time out. Purdue is overvalued after winning five straight SU and ATS. Buy low, sell high. 

8* play on Ohio State. 

TEXAS TECH @ TEXAS 10* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

I think the wrong team is favored in this Big 12 Conference tournament matchup between the No. 22 Texas Tech Red Raiders and the No. 16 Texas Longhorns. Texas Tech swept the Longhorns during the regular season, but the last meeting took place more than two weeks ago. Texas has won three straight SU and ATS since while Texas Tech closed out the regular season with a 15-point loss at Baylor. 

Longhorns are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Red Raiders are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games overall. Red Raiders are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight-up record.

10* play on Texas. 

SIXERS VS BULLS MULTI-PICK PACK

We saw only 217 points when these two teams clashed on February 19 in the most recent meeting, but I expect this to be a high-scoring affair. Both teams will obviously be well-rested coming out of the All-Star break, and Chicago's No. 6 scoring offense combined with a 25th-ranked scoring defense is a good combo for points. 

Over is 12-3 in Bulls last 15 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Over is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in Chicago.

8* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Brooklyn Nets are 25-12 to the over on the season, and I don't think the bookmakers can adjust the totals high enough. We saw only a total of 218 points in the most recent meeting back on December 25, but that was before James Harden joined Brooklyn. Since then, the Nets have put a lot more emphasis on offense than defense, and I think they'll force the Celtics to run up and down with them in this one. 

10* play on OVER. 

THURSDAY NIGHT NHL NO BRAINER

Sure, the Toronto Maple Leafs are a hefty favorite in this matchup with the Jets, but I think they'll prove well worth the price. The Leafs should be pumped up following three straight setbacks, the most recent a 4-3 loss to this very Winnipeg team. Toronto is despite that loss still a solid 9-4-1 home at Scotiabank Arena and we should see no nonsense from the home team here as it looks to put an end to its season-worst three-game losing streak. 

8* play on Toronto Maple Leafs. 

SUPER EARLY OKLAHOMA STATE VS WEST VIRGINIA CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

I like the West Virginia Mountaineers to win and cover the spread when taking on the Oklahoma State Cowboys early on Thursday. While Oklahoma State has been hot down the stretch and defeated WVU 85-80 as a 10-point underdog last Saturday, it should be a different story here in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 championship. We should see a more focused Mountaineers side now that it really matter. 

8* play on West Virginia. 

KINGS @ DUCKS NHL BOOKIE BREAKER

The Los Angeles Kings look good to bounce back and avenge a 6-5 OT loss to the Ducks a couple of days ago. Anaheim has two OT wins in a row while the Kings have gone to OT in four of their last five games, winning only one. These things tend to even out, and the win against the Kings last time out was the Ducks first win as a home underdog in eight attempts.  

8* play on Los Angeles Kings. 

WIZARDS @ GRIZZLIES 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The oddsmakers have set a gigantic total for this matchup, but I don't think they can make it big enough. Washington has the highest pace factor in the league at 106.2 possessions per game, and Memphis ranks eighth with 102.7 possessions per game. Fresh off the All-Star break, both teams will be well-rested and ready to run up and down the court. 

8* play on OVER. 

*BIG BET ALERT* NHL WEST GAME OF THE MONTH - 10* TOP PLAY 

Great spot to back the Vegas Golden Knights to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to this very same Minnesota team just a couple of days ago. The defeat put an end to a six-game winning streak for the Knights who are 15-7 in their last 22 after scoring two goals or less in their previous game. I just don't see the Wild winning two in a row against a solid Vegas team. 

10* play on Vegas Golden Knights. 

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK | 10* TOP PLAY

I think we're getting a great price on the Florida Panthers in this one as they are a dominant 8-2-0-1 on the road this season. The Columbus Blue Jackets on the other hand are only 6-4-1-2 at home and they have dropped six of their last eight overall. 

The Panthers had won back-to-back games against Nashville prior to a 4-2 loss at Carolina in their last game. They are Panthers are 6-0 in their last 6 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game and 5-1 in their last 6 games as a road favorite. Blue Jackets got shut out in a 5-0 loss to Dallas in their last game. They are 1-5 in their last 6 games as an underdog and 1-6 in their last 7 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.

10* play on Florida Panthers. 

8* play on Dortmund. 

EARLY MIAMI-FL @PITT ACC BOOKIE BU$TER

Neither the Pittsburgh Panthers nor the Miami Hurricanes have played well down the stretch, but I think Pitt has an edge here in this first-round matchup of the ACC tournament.

Pittsburgh won 70-55 when the teams clashed back in December. Sure, Pitt has lost guards Au'Diese Toney and Xavier Johnson (transfer) since, but ia also asked to cover a small number and Miami is shorthanded because of injuries.  

Hurricanes are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 neutral site games. Panthers are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games.

8* play on Pittsburgh Panthers. 

KINGS @ DUCKS NHL *BAILOUT PLAY* 

Both the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks snapped losing streaks last time out. The Kings put an and to a four-game slide with an OT win against St. Louis while the Ducks avoided a 10-game losing streak with a 5-4 road victory over the Colorado Avalanche. The Kings are 5-1 in their last 6 games following a win and the Ducks are an awful 0-7 in their last 7 games as a home underdog.

8* play on Los Angeles Kings. 

MULTI-PICK PACK CBB

The Northern Kentucky Norse are 14-8-1 to the over while the Oakland Golden Grizzlies are 22-6 to the over. Oakland is allowing 82.0 ppg, but is also capable of scoring, averaging 74.6 ppg. I don't think the books have made this total big enough. 

8* play on OVER. 

NHL BIG HITTER | GUARANTEED TO WIN

The St. Louis Blues are a phenomenal 10-2-1 away from home on the season, and they should be pumped up for this one after taking an OT loss at Los Angeles Kings last time out. The San Jose Sharks have dropped five of their last six games and they were shut out by the Vegas Golden Knights in their last game. 

Blues are 7-2 in their last 9 when their opponent scores 2 goals or less in their previous game. Sharks are 1-8 in their last 9 games as a home underdog. Blues are 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

8* play on St. Louis Blues. 

WCC TOURNEY BOOKIE BLA$TER | ST. MARY'S VS GONZAGA

The Gonzaga Bulldogs are the highest-scoring team in college basketball, averaging 92.9 ppg. Still, they are only 13-11 to the over on the season, and here they'll face a St. Mary's team that is allowing only 62.3 ppg (20th). The Gaels are 14-8 to the under on the season and the under is 43-16 in their last 59 games as an underdog. I think St. Mary's will try and slow down the tempo to not allow Gonzaga to run away with the game early, and that we'll see this game stay under the total. 

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Dallas Stars are only 2-7-3 since the start of February, but they snapped a six-game losing streak home at American Airlines Center with a 5-0 win against Columbus last time out. I like them to use the much-needed momentum to take care of business against a Nashville team that has been outscored 15-8 through three losses this month. Dallas and Nashville clashed twice in January with the Stars winning both games by a combined score of 10-2. 

Predators are 1-5 in the last 6 meetings in Dallas. Predators are 2-7 in the last 9 meetings.

10* play on Dallas. 

MULTI-PICK PACK

The Carolina Hurricanes are a solid 7-1-1 home at PNC Arena, but the visiting Panthers are 8-1-1 on the road. Sure, Florida will play its third game in four days and the second game of a back-to-back after defeating Nashville on Saturday, but I think this is too good of a price on the dog to pass on.

8* play on Florida Panthers. 

TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | WISCONSIN @ IOWA

The Iowa Hawkeyes are hot, the Wisconsin Badgers not. While Iowa has won six of its past seven games (5-2 ATS), Wisconsin has four losses in its past five games and failing to cover the number in each loss. Last time out, the Hawkeyes put a 102-64 beating on Nebraska and I think they'll want to keep the momentum going for the Big Ten tournament with a big effort in this one. 

Badgers are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Hawkeyes are 21-6-2 ATS in their last 29 home games.

10* play on Iowa. 

CBB GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT | ACC REG SEASON *BEST BET*

I love this spot for the Louisville Cardinals on Saturday. The Virginia Cavaliers are in a potential letdown spot as their victory over Miami on Monday night clinched a top-four seed and a double-bye in next week's ACC tournament. The Cardinals hope to the same with a win here. Note that the Cardinals are 5-3, and they'll run into a Louisville team that has won nine of 10 home games on the season. 

Cavaliers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Cardinals are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games.

10* play on Louisville. 

USC @ UCLA 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The USC Trojans held the UCLA Bruins to 17-of-57 (30%) shooting from the field in a 66-48 win on Feb 6, and last time out they held Stanford to 42 points on 15-of-59 (25%) shooting. 

The Bruins are heading into this contest off back-to-back losses SU and ATS and they have covered the number in only two of their last 12 games. The two teams are battling for the top spots in the PAC 12, so neither will lack motivation, but the Bruins are trending in the wrong direction while USC has some momentum. 

The Trojans have a psychological advantage after defeating the Bruins once already, and I'm putting my money on the visitors here in the regular-season finale. 

8* play on USC Trojans. 

TOP-RATED 10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK

Sheffield United is coming off a 1-0 win over Aston Villa, but remains dead last in the standings with only 14 points in 27 games. After their last win, they took a 3-0 loss to West Ham. 

Southampton is not playing well at the moment with seven losses through its last nine games, but the team is getting players back from injuries while the opposite is true for Sheffield United who'll be without several key pieces. 

10* play on Southampton. 

TGIF 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The St. Louis Blues have made themselves comfortable on the West Coast as they look to make it four straight wins in California after winning one at San Jose and two at Anaheim.

Overall, the Blues are 9-2-0 away from home this season and they are 6-1 in their last 7 games as a road favorite.

Here they'll face a Los Angeles Kings team that has scored only six goals through three consecutive losses.

We can also note that this is a revenge spot for the Blues as they've dropped three straight against the Kings after defeating them in the first meeting of the season. 

8* play on St. Louis Blues. 

MULTI-PICK PACK

Good spot to back the Minnesota Wild to bounce back from pair of losses to Vegas. The Arizona Coyotes are coming off a 3-2 win over the LA Kings, but the Yotes are only 6-16 in their last 22 games following a win and 1-4 in their last 5 games as a home underdog. 

In their last game, the Wild took a 5-1 beating by Vegas but they are 9-2 in their last 11 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.

8* play on Minnesota Wild. 

TGIF 8* NCAAB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Western Carolina Catamounts are only 6-17-1 ATS on the season. They are allowing 78.0 points per game (323rd) and this looks like a bad matchup against The Citadel who averages 80.3 ppg (25th). Western Carolina is particularly bad defending the three, and the Bulldogs are effective from behind the arc.

8* play on The Citadel. 

TOP-RATED 10* FLYERS @ PENS NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

Good spot to back the Philadelphia Flyers to avenge a 5-2 loss to Pittsburgh a couple of days ago. The Flyers are 14-3 in their last 17 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game and 13-3 in their last 16 games following a loss of 3 or more goals. The Penguins are only 2-6 in their last 8 games as an underdog.

10* play on Philadelphia Flyers. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Boston Celtics are riding a three-game winning streak, mostly powered by solid play on the defensive end of the court.

Thursday night they'll host a struggling Toronto team that has dropped three of its last four games, scoring 102, 108, and 105 points in the losses. The Raptors were without three of their top five scorers (Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and OG Anunoby) in addition to head coach Nick Nurse in a 129-105 loss to Detroit last night due to COVID-19 protocols. They are unlikely to be available for this game. 

Under is 11-3-2 in Raptors last 16 games following a double-digit loss at home. Under is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings.

10* play on UNDER. 

MONMOUTH @ RIDER 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

The Rider Broncs have won only one of seven home games straight-up, but they are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. I also like Rider to build off an impressive 78-65 win as a 9-point dog at St. Peter's last time out. Monmouth-NJ will play its seventh consecutive road game, and the team has covered the spread in only one of its last five games. In their last game, the Hawks took an 88-65 beating at Iona and they are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. Lastly, note that the home team is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

8* play on Rider. 

TOP-RATED 10* WARRIORS @ BLAZERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Golden State Warriors have played more unders than overs on the season, but they are 20-7 to the over in their 27 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

I also think the Warriors will go off here after being held to 91 points by the Lakers in their last game. While the LA Lakers is one of the best defensive teams in the league, we find the Blazers on the other end of the spectrum allowing 115.1 ppg (25th).

Over is 25-10 in the last 35 meetings. Over is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings in Portland.

The Blazers and the Warriors are a combined 12-4 to the over in games with a total closing number above 233. 

10* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* LEAFS @ OILERS NHL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Edmonton Oilers had won five straight before getting shut out in back-to-back games at Toronto on Saturday and Monday. Now they get a chance to avenge the losses home at Rogers Place, and I expect to get a reaction and a big game from the home team. 

10* play on Edmonton Oilers.

TOP-RATED 10* SUNS @ LAKERS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Los Angeles Lakers have answered a four-game losing streak by winning back-to-back games. They've done so behind solid defense, holding Portland to 93 points and Golden State to 91 points. Here they'll face a red hot Phoenix Suns team that has held three of its last five opponents to fewer than 100 points. Both teams have top-5 scoring defenses and the Lakers' three-point shooting ranks only 25th in the NBA. Under is 4-1 in Suns last 5 vs. a team with a winning straight-up record. Under is 6-2 in the Lakers' last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600.

10* play on UNDER. 

MULTI-PICK PACK - NUGGETS @ BUCKS

The Denver Nuggets are 23-11 to the over on the season and the Milwaukee Bucks are 20-13-1 to the over. Both teams rank in the top-5 for three-point percentage and the Bucks rank 22nd in the league defending the three. Over is 10-3 in Nuggets last 13 games as an underdog. Over is 19-6 in Bucks last 25 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* play on OVER. 

TUESDAY NIGHT 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Big revenge game for the Winnipeg Jets who saw a four-game winning streak come to an end with a 4-0 loss to Vancouver last night. The win put an end to a four-game skid for the Nucks, and we can note that despite the win, they were outshot 27-19. The  Canucks are only 4-8 on the road, Winnipeg is 8-4-1 home at Bell MTS Place.

8* play on Winnipeg Jets. 

MULTI-PICK PACK - GRIZZLIES @ WIZARDS

The over is 12-4 in the Washington Wizards' last 16 home games and 7-2 in Memphis Grizzlies last 9 road games. The Wizards have the second-worst scoring defense in the NBA, giving up 119.0 points per game, and Memphis just put up 133 points on the Rockets at Houston. 

8* play on OVER. 

MULTI-PICK PACK

The Houston Rockets and the Cleveland Cavaliers have been under teams all season, going 19-12-1 and 19-14-1 to the under respectively. Cleveland has the worst scoring offense in the league with 104.5 points per game, and their last game against Philadelphia saw 221 points despite going to overtime. The Cavs are 5-1 to the under in their last six games, and the reeling Houston Rockets who have dropped 10 straight have been held to fewer than 100 points in five of those games.

TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | BEDLAM SERIES *BEST BET*

Love the Oklahoma Sooners in this matchup as they look to avenge a 94-90 home loss in overtime to Oklahoma State a couple of days ago.

The Sooners rarely lose back-to-back games, and I think they'll have a better plan for how to stop Cade Cunningham who dropped 40 points on them last time out. 

Sooners are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Sooners are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Cowboys are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Brooklyn Nets are 23-12 to the over on the season, despite bloated totals pretty much every game. They are 10-3 to the over in games closing with a total of over 234 points. Here they should be particularly motivated as they took a 115-98 loss to Dallas last time out. Playing defense is optional in Nets' games, and I expect to see another run-and-gun type of game involving Brooklyn. Over is 17-4 in Nets last 21 games as a favorite.

10* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL *BAILOUT PLAY*

The Sacramento Kings are owners of one of the worst scoring defenses in the league, giving up 120.1 ppg. Last time they held Detroit to 107 points, but they had allowed boatloads through a nine-game losing skid prior to that outing. Here they'll face a Charlotte team that just put up 121 points against Golden State, but still lost as the Warriors scored 130 points. 

The Kings and the Hornets are a combined 5-1 to the over in games with a total of more than 235 points. 

Over is 6-0 in Hornets last 6 road games. Over is 25-10 in Kings last 35 home games.

10* play on OVER. 

KNICKS @ PISTONS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

Two low-scoring teams will battle it out at Little Caesars Arena on Sunday when the Detroit Pistons host the New York Knicks. We were robbed on an under in a game involving the Knicks last night as a completely unnecessary foul with 0.4 seconds to go led to free throws that pushed the score over the total, but I really like this one to stay under, and I don't think it's even gonna be close. 

The Knicks Knicks have the #23 offensive efficiency rating in the league and they rank dead last for pace with only 98.5 possessions per game. The Pistons have the #25 offensive efficiency rating and rank 25th for pace. Additionally, the Knicks are holding opponents to a league-best 104.4 ppg. 

Under is 13-3 in Knicks last 16 road games. Under is 14-6 in Knicks last 20 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 5-1 in Pistons last 6 overall.

8* play on UNDER. 

IOWA @ OHIO STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY *BEST OF THE BEST*

The #9 Iowa Hawkeyes took a 79-57 beating at Michigan last time out, and this does not look like a good bounce-back spot against an Ohio State team looking to redeem itself coming off a pair of losses. "We've got to be better," Ohio State guard CJ Walker said. "We've got to refocus and be better defensively. That's the biggest thing right now."

The #4 Buckeyes won 89-85 at Iowa back on February 4 and they are 14-5 ATS in their last 19 home games. Buckeyes are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss. Hawkeyes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

10* play on Ohio State. 

MICHIGAN STATE @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER | 2:00 ET

The Michigan State Spartans are only 7-15 ATS on the season and in a bit letdown spot here following three straight-up wins as underdogs. Only one of those wins was on the road, and the Spartans are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 road games. 

They'll face a Maryland team that is riding a four-game winning streak, including an upset win at Rutgers last time out. 

While the Spartans have played a tough and tight schedule lately, the Terps have had a week off since their win over Rutgers. I think the home team will overcome any eventual rust and get the job done. 

8* play on Maryland. 

LATE NIGHT NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Love the St. Louis Blues as a road favorite at San Jose Saturday night. 

We should see a reaction from the Blues after dropping three straight at home. Note that they are 6-2-0 away from the Enterprise Center while the Sharks are only 1-2-0 home in the Shark Tank.

Additionally, San Jose has not played since a 6-2 loss to Minnesota on Monday. That seems like too much time off to me, and I expect the Blues to take advantage of a somewhat rusty San Jose side. 

Blues are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a road favorite. Sharks are 0-4 in their last 4 games as a home underdog. Blues are 7-2 in the last 9 meetings.

8* play on St. Louis Blues. 

NBA TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK *MAJOR WAGER ALERT*

The Indiana Pacers took a 118-112 loss at Boston last night. I expect much fewer points here when they visit the New York Knicks the very next night. While heavy legs can affect a team's defense negatively, the Knickerbockers is not really a team that'll push the pace and take advantage. 

The Knicks are 22-11 to the under on the season and under is 5-1 in the last 6 head-to-head meetings with the Pacers. 

10* play on UNDER. 

JAZZ @ MAGIC 8* NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Orlando Magic are averaging only 104.8 ppg on the season (28th), and in their last two games they've been held to 93 points (against Detroit) and 92 points (against Brooklyn). Here they'll face a Utah team that ranks near the top for several defensive metrics, and I expect to see the Jazz put a lot of emphasis on their defense here after giving up 124 points at Miami last night. 

Under is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 games playing on 0 days rest. Under is 6-2-1 in Jazz last 9 road games. Under is 21-6 in Magic last 27 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

The Buffalo Sabres are only 2-5-2 home at KeyBank Center. They will play their third game in four nights and have had only one day of rest since a 4-3 OT loss to New Jersey. The Philadelphia Flyers have had two days rest since a 4-3 win against New York Rangers. 

Sabres are 0-6 in their last 6 games as a home underdog. Flyers are 19-7 in their last 26 games as a road favorite. Flyers are 5-1 in the last 6 meetings.

10* play on Philadelphia Flyers. 

TOP-RATED 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH | EARLY 12:00 START

I really like the Texas Tech Red Raiders here as they'll be looking to snap an ugly three-game losing streak. Last time out they suffered a tough OT loss at Oklahoma State while Texas is coming off an OT win over Kansas. Texas Tech won 79-77 at Texas back in January. Surely the Red Raiders can get the job done at home. 

10* play on Texas Tech. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* BLAZERS @ LAKERS 8* TOTAL | LATE 10:05 PM START

The Los Angeles Lakers have dropped five of their last six games. They have been held to fewer than 100 points in three of their last four. Here they'll face a Portland team that has put up 111, 100 and 106 points in its last three games, all losses. 

While the Blazers have struggled on the defensive end lately, I don't think this shorthanded Lakers team can do enough damage to push the score over the total without AD (Achilles injury). 

8* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* TGIF CBB PLAY OF THE DAY | 9:00 PM TIP-OFF

Both Northern Iowa (4-15-1 ATS) and Illinois State (8-12-1 ATS) have underperformed against the spread all season. 

I think this looks like a good spot to back the Panthers though as they look to bounce back from a 77-69 loss to Drake while Illinois is coming off a 88-71 win against Bradley. The Redbirds shot 57% from the field (40% from 3-point range), and I highly doubt they can shoot like that two games in a row. 

10* play on Northern Iowa. 

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The Los Angeles Clippers are 20-13-1 to the over on the season while Memphis Grizzlies are 15-13 to the over. Last night, the Grizzlies put a 122-94 beating on the Clippers, and I expect a higher-scoring affair tonight as heavy legs often lead to sloppy defense. 

Over is 4-0 in Grizzlies last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Over is 6-1 in Grizzlies last 7 games following a straight up win. Over is 5-1 in Clippers last 6 games as a road favorite. Over is 10-4 in the last 14 meetings.

8* play on OVER. 

TOP-RATED 10* PACERS @ CELTICS NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

Neither the Boston Celtics nor the Indiana Pacers are playing good basketball at the moment. The Celtics are losers of three straight and eight of their last 11 while the Pacers have only three wins in their last nine games. Boston's scoring offense ranks 21st in the league, but it is allowing only 110.3 ppg (7th). I expect a low-scoring contest between two struggling teams. 

Under is 37-16-1 in Pacers last 54 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Boston.

MULT-PICK PACK - CELTICS

Neither the Boston Celtics nor the Indiana Pacers are playing good basketball at the moment. The Celtics are losers of three straight and eight of their last 11 while the Pacers have only three wins in their last nine games. Boston's scoring offense ranks 21st in the league, but it is allowing only 110.3 ppg (7th). I expect a low-scoring contest between two struggling teams. 

Under is 37-16-1 in Pacers last 54 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Under is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Boston.

In addition to the under, I also like the Celtics to show up as they should look forward to playat home again following an 0-3 road trip. Last time out home at TD Garden, they defeated Atlanta 121-109 and here they'll take on a struggling Indiana team. 

I also think the Celtics will be particularly fired up after getting called out by their team president Danny Ainge in a radio appearance on Thursday. "I do believe in my players. I like them all individually. I think they have good futures. I just think right now our team is in a major funk." ... "We don't have a good enough team -- in my opinion."

Pacers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite.

8* play on Boston Celtics. 

TGIF NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Great spot to back the Boston Bruins who will be looking to redeem themselves after taking a 7-2 loss to the Islanders last night. 

The New York Rangers have had an extra day of rest, but have won only two of their last seven games and they are 3-11 in their last 14 games as an underdog. 

Bruins are 9-3 in their last 12 vs. a team with a losing record and  10-4 in their last 14 games as a favorite. Bruins are 6-0 in the last 6 meetings.

8* play on Boston Bruins. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Washington Wizards are 16-13 to the over on the season and the Denver Nuggets have a 21-10 over/under record. The Nuggets average 115.4 ppg (5th) while Washington has one of the worst scoring defenses in the league, allowing 119.9 ppg. Last time out, the Wizards took a 135-116 Los at LA Clippers. 

Over is 9-1-1 in Nuggets last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Over is 18-6 in Nuggets last 24 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 36-17-1 in Nuggets last 54 games as a favorite.

The two teams are a combined 9-4 to the over in games with a total closing at 235 points or more and 4-1 to the over in games with a total of 237 or more. 

10* play on OVER. 

GAME OF THE YEAR | WEST CONF TOTAL

Two top-3 defenses in the league will clash at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday when the Utah Jazz host the Los Angeles Lakers. I think the bookmakers have set total for this game way too high.

The Lakers are struggling without injured All-Star center Anthony Davis and guard Dennis Schroder. They have dropped four of their last five straight up and had scored 105, 112, 98 and 94 points in their last four games prior to a 127-124 OT loss to Washington last time out. Under is 10-2 in Lakers last 12 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Utah is the hottest team in the NBA and it has held four of its last six opponents to fewer than 100 points. Last time out, the Jazz put a 132-110 beating on Charlotte, but note that under is 4-0 in Jazz last 4 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 15-7 in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

10* play on UNDER. 

MULTI-PICK PACK

Great spot to back the Indiana Pacers who should be eager to take the floor again after a week off due to weather and COVID-19 concerns. The visiting Golden State Warriors are in a very different spot as they'll be playing on no rest following a 114-106 win at New York on Tuesday. Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 5-17-1 ATS in their last 23 games playing on 0 days rest. Warriors are 5-13 ATS in the last 18 meetings in Indiana.

In addition to Indiana winning and covering the number, I also like the Pacers to push the tempo and making the Warriors run up and down the court with them. Over is 15-6-1 in Warriors last 22 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Over is 7-3 in Pacers last 10 home games.

8* play on OVER. 

MULTI-PICK PACK - ROCKETS @ CAVS

The Houston Rockets are 17-11-1 to the under this season while the Cleveland Cavaliers are 18-13-1 to the under. Cleveland is averaging only 104.0 ppg (29th), and for all the Rockets' struggles, they've done pretty well on the defensive end limiting opponents to 111.6 ppg (12th). 

Cleveland will be playing on no rest following an upset win over Atlanta last night. Under is 6-1 in Cavaliers last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Under is 4-0-1 in Cavaliers last 5 games as a home underdog.

8* play on UNDER. 

BLAZERS @ NUGGETS 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Portland Trail Blazers will be playing on no rest following a 132-100 loss at Phoenix on Monday. Over is 4-0 in Trail Blazers last 4 games playing on 0 days rest and 7-0 in their last 7 games as an underdog. The Denver Nuggets are 21-9 to the over for the season, and they'll be looking to bounce back from a 123-115 loss to Atlanta. The Nuggets own the fourth-best points-per-game average in the league while the Blazers have a bottom-five scoring defense. I expect Denver to push the tempo and force the visitors into a shootout. 

10* play on OVER. 

8* NBA TOTAL | WOLVES @ BUCKS

The Milwaukee Bucks are coming off a 128-115 win over Sacramento. Here they'll face another defensively challenged team in the Minnesota Timberwolves who are allowing 114.8 ppg (25th) on the season, and I expect another high-scoring affair involving the Bucks. Over is 5-2 in Timberwolves last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600 and 5-0 in Bucks last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

*BIG BET ALERT* NHL EAST DIVISION GAME OF THE MONTH | 10* TOP PLAY

Great spot to back the New Jersey Devils to bounce back from a 4-3 loss at Washington on January 21. They've had time to rest and recover while the Sabres will be playing on no rest and their third game in four nights following a 3-2 loss at NY Islanders last night. 

Sabres are 1-4 in their last 5 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Sabres are 1-5 in their last 6 overall. Devils are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a favorite. Sabres are 3-8 in the last 11 meetings in New Jersey.

10* play on New Jersey Devils. 

8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL

The Detroit Pistons and the Orlando Magic clashed just a couple of days ago, a game Orlando won 105-96. I fully expect another low-scoring affair here as the teams got to know each other a little better. Under is 5-1 in Pistons last 6 overall. Under is 4-0 in Pistons last 4 games as a road underdog. Under is 6-2 in Magic last 8 overall.

8* play on UNDER. 

8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

This looks like a great spot to back the Arizona Coyotes as they look to bounce back from a pair of losses, and from dropping four of their last five. They'll face a Ducks team that has scored a total of only four goals through three consecutive losses, and it has the second-worst goal per game average in the league at 1.8 gpg. The Yotes are better than they've shown in recent games, and they have won four of the last five when hosting the Ducks at Gila River Arena.

8* play on Arizona Coyotes. 

HEAT VS THUNDER TOP RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Oklahoma City Thunder are 5-1 to the under in their last six games and 4-0 to the under in their last four as a home underdog. 

The Miami Heat held the Lakers to 94 points in a win on Saturday and they are 11-4 to the under in their last 15 games playing on 1 days rest. 

OKC Thunder have the second-worst offensive efficiency rating in the league while Miami ranks 24th.  

Lastly, the Heat and the Thunder are a combined 8-3-1 to the under in games with a total closing at 215 or lower. 

10* play on UNDER. 

TEXAS TECH @ OKLAHOMA STATE 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

This looks like an excellent spot to back the No. 11 Texas Tech Red Raiders who should be ready to go off, coming off back-to-back losses to West Virginia and Kansas.

At only 1-6 ATS over their last seven games, the Raiders are now severely underrated by the betting market and the No. 22 Oklahoma State Cowboys are in a potential letdown spot after defeating Iowa State by 18 points last time out.

The Red Raiders will also be looking to avenge an 82-77 overtime loss to Oklahoma State in Lubbock on January 2. I expect to see a reaction from Texas Tech following its recent struggles. 

10* play on Texas Tech. 

BULLS @ ROCKETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL

The Houston Rockets are ice cold, heading into this contest off seven straight losses through which they have averaged 103.7 ppg. Defensively, the Rockets have been holding their own in most games this season, limiting opponents to 111.3 ppg (11th).

The Bulls have won three of their last five, but they've been held to 106 points or fewer not counting overtime in four of those five games. The exception was a 122-114 win over the Kings last time out, but Houston is playing much better D and at a slower pace than Sacramento. 

Under is 22-7 in Rockets last 29 games as a home underdog. Under is 34-16-1 in Rockets last 51 home games. Under is 5-1 in Bulls last 6 games as a favorite.

8* play on UNDER. 

LIGHTNING VS CANES 8* NHL BOOKIE BOMBER

We should see a hyper-motivated Tampa Bay Lightning team looking bounce back from a pair of losses and avenge a 4-0 loss to Carolina a couple of days ago. Lightning are 14-5 in the last 19 meetings in Carolina.

8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* KINGS @ BUCKS TOP-RATED 10* PLAY OF THE DAY 

The Milwaukee Bucks have been held to fewer than 100 points in back-to-back games, but this looks like a good spot to get their offense going against a Kings team that is one of the worst in the NBA on the defensive end. On the season, the Kings are allowing 119.3 ppg on 48.9% shooting from the field.

The Kings are 19-10 to the over on the season, Milwaukee is 17-12-1 to the over. Over is 21-7 in the last 28 meetings. Over is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings in Milwaukee.

The Kings and the Bucks are a combined 10-2 to the over in games with totals closing at 233 points or more this season. 

10* play on OVER. 

3-PACK OF NBA WINNERS - NUGGETS @ HAWKS

The Denver Nuggets are 20-9 to the over on the season. They have scored 120 points or more in three of their last four games. The Atlanta Hawks have seen each of their last seven games fly over the total, while allowing 118 points or more in six of those games. Over is 13-3 in Nuggets last 16 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Over is 20-7 in Hawks last 27 games as a home underdog.

8* play on OVER. 

3-PACK OF NBA WINNERS - PISTONS @ MAGIC

The Detroit Pistons have put up only 102 and 95 points in their last two games, and four of their last five have gone under the total. The Orlando Magic are coming off a 124-120 win against Golden State, but this will be a completely different game. Prior to that game against the Warriors, five of Orlando's last six had gone under the total and its 105.6 ppg average ranks 28th in the NBA. 

8* play on UNDER. 

3-PACK OF NBA WINNERS - CELTICS @ PELICANS

The New Orleans Pelicans are giving up 115.1 ppg on the season (24th) and they've allowed 123 points or more in five of their last six games. The over is 12-1 in Pelicans last 13 home games. Here they'll face a Boston team that put up 121 points against Atlanta last time out. Over is 21-5 in Pelicans last 26 overall and I think they'll force the Celtics to run up and down the court with them. 

8* play on OVER. 

8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The New Jersey Devils are a solid 4-1-1 on the road, but this looks like a tough spot. They'll visit the Washingon Capitals who are coming off a disappointing 4-1 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. The Devils took a 3-2 loss to Buffalo yesterday, so they will also be playing on no rest. 

Washington is a lot better than it has shown in recent games, and I think we'll see a reaction here.  Capitals are 15-7 in their last 22 games following a loss of 3 or more goals and the home team is 8-3 in the last 11 meetings between thes two clubs.

8* play on Washington Capitals. 

MICHIGAN @ OHIO STATE BIG TEN BOOKIE BREAKER

The #3 Michigan Wolverines are coming into this game with a 15-1 record. I think they're about to suffer their second defeat of the season here though, facing an Ohio State team that is playing its best basketball of the season. Michigan has played only two games this month after having games postponed due to COVID-19. The #4 Buckeyes just put up 92 points at PSU last time out, and they are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* play on Ohio State. 

HEAT @ LAKERS 10* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Los Angeles Lakers took a 109-98 loss to Brooklyn on Thursday. Each of their last two games has gone under the total, and they are 19-11 to the under on the season. Miami is coming off a 118-110 win at Sacramento, but the Heat have not been great offensively in recent games. Under is 11-3 in Heat last 14 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 4-0 in Lakers last 4 games following a straight up loss.  Under is 13-6 in Lakers last 19 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game.

10* play on UNDER. 

ILLINOIS @ MINNESOTA 10* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY

The Minnesota Golden Gophers took an 82-72 loss and Indiana a couple of days ago. At home, Minnesota is 13-1 on the season though and the Gophers are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. Illinois looks like good fade material after winning six straight games. The Fighting Illini might be running out of gas as they have failed to cover the number in their last two games, and I would not be surprised if the Gophers can pull an outríght upset here. 

10* play on Minnesota. 

KNIGHTS VS AVS 10* TOP PLAY | OUTDOORS @ LAKE TAHOE | 3:00 PM ET

The Vegas Golden Knights lost the first game of this series 3-2 at home on Tuesday. Golden Knights are 6-0 in their last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest and 14-6 in their last 20 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game.

The Avs are listed as the home team for this one, but they won't have home ice advantage in this outdoor game that will take place on Lake Tahoe at the border of California and Nevada. Look for Vegas to get revenge today. 

10* play on Vegas. 

NBA 3-PACK - DETROIT

The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a 122-113 win against OKC, but they have won only three of their last nine games and they are 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The Detroit Pistons will be looking to rebound from a 105-102 loss at Chicago, and note that they had won three of four prior to that setback.

8* play on Detroit Pistons. 

NBA 3-PACK - BULLS

Good spot to fade the Philadelphia 76ers who snapped a three-game losing streak with a 118-113 win against Houston a couple of days ago. Joel Embiid's back issues are back, so the Sixers might start giving him more rest and Ben Simmons is questionable (stomach illness). The Bulls have been compeittive in recent games, winning four of their last six straight up and they are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.

8* play on Chicago Bulls. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

I am delighted to get this number for the total as I think it should be a couple of points higher. The Atlanta Hawks have struggled on the defensive end through a five-game losing streak, and they have allowed 118 points or more in six of their last eight games. These two teams played just a couple of days ago, a game Atlanta won 122-114 and the over is 9-4-1 in the last 14 meetings.

10* play on OVER. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* HEAT @ KINGS 8* BOOKIE BREAKER

Love to fade the Miami Heat in this spot as they are coming off a tough OT loss at Golden State on Wednesday. The Sacramento Kings have dropped the first four games of this five-game homestand SU and ATS, but I expect them to show up here in the finale and take full advantage of an exhausted Miami team.  

Kings are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog. Heat are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings.

8* play on Sacramento Kings. 

*GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT* NHL CENTRAL REG SEASON BEST BET

Absolutely love the Columbus Blue Jackets in this spot as they have had two full days to stew on a 7-3 beating they took by Carolina on Jan 15. They've been on the road for their last three games, and I expect a big outing from the Jackets here in the opener of a four-game homestand. 

The visiting Nashville Predators will also be rested after having two games against the Stars postponed, but they have struggled in recent games, winning only one of their last five. The Preds have now lost nine of the 13 games since opening the season with a two-game sweep against Columbus. The Jackets must be itching for revenge, and we can note that the Preds are only 1-5-0 away from home on the season. 

10* play on Columbus Blue Jackets. 

HOUSTON @ WICHITA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Houston Cougars are 17-2 SU and 13-5 ATS on the season, but they might be rusty here as it's been a week since their last game, an 82-65 triumph at USF. They'll face a Wichita State team that sits second in the AAC, and I think the Shockers are getting a couple of points extra in this one after failing to cover the number in five straight games. Still, the Shockers are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a home underdog and 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. I'm taking the points on the home dog in this matchup. 

8* play on Wichita State. 

IOWA @ WISCONSIN 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

The No. 21 Wisconsin Badgers are 15-7 on the season, but 11-3 home at Kohl Center. I like them to bounce back from a 67-59 home loss to third-ranked Michigan. Note that the Badgers are 10-1-2 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss, and here they'll face a No. 11 Hawkeyes team that might be due for a bad game after winning two in a row. Iowa is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 road games.

8* play on Wisconsin. 

LATE NIGHT 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Edmonton Oilers have won six of their last eight, and they had allowed only a total of three goals in their last three games prior to a 6-5 loss to the Winnipeg Jets Monday night. They get a chance for quick revenge when taking on the Jets again tonight, and I think we'll see a fired-up home team that is 6-2 in its last 8 after allowing 5 goals or more in its previous game.

Despite their win Monday night, the Jets are only 4-10 in their last 14 games as a road underdog and they have dropped four of their last five coming off a win. 

8* play on Edmonton Oilers. 

TOP-RATED 10* HEAT @ WARRIORS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Good spot to back the Miami Heat to bounce back from a pair of losses. They had won four in a row before running into a couple of heavy-weights in Utah and LA Clippers on the road.

The Golden State Warriors are not the threat they used to be and in a let down spot following a blowout win over Cleveland. While beating up on lesser opponents, the Warriors have struggled against quality teams, and Miami has been quality since getting Jimmy Butler back in the starting lineup. 

Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight-up win of more than 10 points. Warriors are 18-37-1 ATS in their last 56 games following a ATS win.

10* play on Miami Heat. 

UTAH STATE @ BOISE STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Utah State Aggies are a solid 12-5 ATS on the season, but I think they're about to run into some serious trouble when visiting Boise State Wednesday night. Note that Utah State is likely to be rusty as they have had heir last three games postponed due to COVID-19 protocols. The Broncos are coming off a pair of wins against UNLV, but they won the last game by only two points as a 9.5-point favorite. We should see a reaction from such a flat performance and I expect a strong outing from the Broncos in this one. 

8* play on Boise State. 

XAVIER @ ST. JOHN'S 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

The St. John's Red Storm had won six straight and covered the spread in eight in a row prior to a 76-73 OT loss at Butler last time out. I like the Red Storm to bounce back and start another run here in a revenge spot against a Xavier team they lost to by eight points back on Jan 6. 

The Musketeers have played only one game this month, an 80-72 loss to UConn on January 13. I would not be surprised if they still have a bit of rust to shake off. 

8* play on St. John's. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL GAME OF THE WEEK 

The New Orleans Pelicans have the third-worst defensive efficiency rating in the league, giving up 113.3 points per 100 possessions. Over their last three games, they have allowed 129, 143 and 123 points. Here they'll face a Memphis Grizzlies side that has scored 120+ points in two of its last three games. 

Over is 7-1 in Pelicans last 8 road games. Over is 18-3 in Pelicans last 21 overall. Over is 5-0 in Grizzlies last 5 overall.

10* play on OVER. 

MIZZOU @ GEORGIA | TOP-RATED 10* CBB PLAY OF THE DAY

Good spot to back the No. 20 Missouri Tigers as they look to bounce back from a couple of disappointing losses. Here they'll face a Georgia team that has struggled immensely on the defensive end all season, and in their most recent game, the Bulldogs gave up 115 points at Alabama. Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game.

10* play on Mizzou. 

PROVIDENCE @ UCONN 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

I like the Providence Friars to keep it within the number here against a UConn Huskies team in a potential letdown spot following an upset win at Xavier. The Huskies have dropped four of their last six games straight-up and the Friars beat UConn 70-59 last Wednesday. 

The Friars have played excellent defense in recent games and limited Depaul to 47 points last time out. 

8* play on Providence. 

76ERS @ JAZZ 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Philadelphia 76ers have allowed 118 and 120 points in back-to-back losses at Portland and Phoenix. Bad time to take on a Utah Jazz team that has piled up the points during a seven-game winning streak.

We should see a fired-up Philly team looking to bounce back from a pair of losses, and to keep this close they're gonna have to put up plenty of points. I lean towards Philadelphia covering the spread, but stepping in front of this red hot Utah team is not something I want to do. Therefore, I like the over better. 

Over is 5-2 in 76ers last 7 overall and 15-7 in 76ers last 22 games following a straight-up loss. Over is 7-2 in Jazz last 9 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* play on OVER. 

ISLANDERS @ SABRES 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Buffalo Sabres have not played a competitive game since a 5-3 home loss to the New Jersey Devils on Jan. 31 due to COVID-19 complications.

Even for this contest they'll be shorthanded, and I think it's fair to expect them to come out rusty. They'll face a red hot NY Islanders team that has won three of its last four and picked up points in six straight games. 

8* play on New York Islanders.
