TOP-RATED 10* ROCKETS @ WIZARDS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Great spot to fade the Washington Wizards who will be playing on no rest after defeating Boston 104-91 on Sunday. It was Washington's mere second home win in 11 attempts, and tonight they'll face an angry Houston team looking to snap a five-game slide.

John Wall will return to the nation's capital for the first time since being traded earlier in the season. He's not happy with how things went down and clearly got an axe to grind with the Wizards. We should see a reaction from the Rockets after losing five on the bounce, and I expect to see a big showing from the visitors in this one. 

10* play Houston Rockets. 

VIRGINIA VS FLORIDA STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Good spot to fade the No. 9 Virginia Cavaliers after winning 11 of their past 12 and reeling off four straight triumphs, winning the last two big. While they've been playing well, one must wonder if they're about to run out of steam soon.

That is not the case for the No. 17 FSU Seminoles who have played only one game this month, an OT win against Wake Forest on Jan 13. They were a bit rusty in that game but should be back up to speed tonight. 

FSU has not lost at the Donald L. Tucker Center since Jan. 12, and I really like the home team in this one. 

8* play on Florida State.

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK

I think we are getting a more than fair price on the Arizona Coyotes as a home dog to St. Louis Blues Monday night. 

The Blues are coming off back-to-back wins over Arizona, but the teams are heading into the finale of this seven-game series tied at three apiece. 

These two teams are very evenly matched, but the Yotes should be the more fired up team after dropping the last two games, both home at Gila River Arena none the less. 

10* play on Arizona Coyotes. 

TOP-RATED 10* LAKERS @ NUGGETS BOOKIE BREAKER

The Los Angeles Lakers have won seven straight as they've been able to grind out wins despite playing all that well. They are 3-7 ATS over their last 10 as they're often asked to cover big numbers, but I expect them to get the win and cover at Denver on Sunday. 

The Nuggets have dropped three of their last five while going 1-4 ATS. The two games they won, were both as near double-digit favorites. 

The Nuggets are 2-7-1 ATS in their last 10 games as an underdog. 

10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. 

BLAZERS @ MAVS 8* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER TOTAL

The Portland Trail Blazers are coming off a 129-110 win over Cleveland, and they've really been humming on offense lately. Six of the Blazers last eight have gone over the total, and here they'll face a Mavs team that is allowing 114.4 ppg (24th). 

Portland is weak on the defensive end as well, allowing 115.1 ppg (25th) and the Mave have averaged 126.7 ppg through their last six games. 

Over is 13-5 in the last 18 meetings in Dallas. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings.

Sure, this is a big number, but I think we'll see 240+ points in this game.

8* play on OVER. 

SPURS @ HORNETS 8* NBA BANKROLL BUILDER

The Charlotte Hornets have been doing surprisingly well, entering Sunday with a 13-14 SU record while going 15-11-1 ATS. Here they'll face another team that has been undervalued by the betting market in the San Antonio Spurs who are 15-11 SU and ATS.

The Spurs have won four of their last five overall, and they are 8-3 SU on the road for the season while Charlotte is just barely over .500 at home at 8-7.

As the clincher, note that the Spurs are undefeated against teams from the Eastern Conference on the season.

8* play on San Antonio Spurs.

MINNESOTA @ MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Good spot to fade the Gophers who are coming off back-to-back home wins over Nebraska and No. 24 Purdue. They are however 0-6 SU on the road this season and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games. We should see a reaction from the Terps after dropping two straight and failing to cover the spread in each of their last four. Maryland defeated Minnesota 63-49 on the road back on January 23. I expect another comfortable win for Maryland in this one. 

8* play on Maryland. 

PELICANS @ PISTONS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

The Detroit Pistons have been covering the spread more often than not in recent games, but they're also often spotted more points than this. I expect a reaction from the New Orleans Pelicans who are coming off back-to-back double-digit losses on the road. They had covered the number in four straight games prior to that and the Pelicans are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as a road favorite and 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Detroit.

8* play on New Orleans Pelicans. 

SUPER EARLY CELTICS @ WIZARDS 8* BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL 1:05 PM ET

The Washington Wizards are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, allowing 120.3 ppg. They are allowing opponents to shoot 39.5% from behind the arc, and here they'll face a Boston team that ranks 6th in the NBA making 38.5% of their 3-point attempts. 

In their last game, the Celtics took a 108-102 loss to Detroit as a 7-point favorite. Over is 12-2 in Celtics last 14 games following a ATS loss and 8-2 in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. Over is 9-3 in Wizards last 12 home games.

8* play on OVER. 

SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* CBB TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

Two offensively challenged teams will clash at Fifth Third Arena Sunday afternoon. 

The Cincinnati Bearcats are 9-4 to the over on the season, despite putting up only 68.8 ppg. They are allowing a fair amount of points, but that won't be an issue here against a UCF team that is averaging 65.1 ppg. 

The Knights held Tulane to 49 points on 31.6 percent field-goal shooting last time out and have allowed only 56 ppg over their last three games. 

10* play on UNDER. 

SATURDAY NIGHT 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Florida Panthers won the first of three straight games against the Tampa Bay Lightning by a final score of 5-2 a couple of days ago. The Lightning had won six straight headings into the series, and I think we're getting a more than reasonable price on TB to take the middle game.

The backup netminders are expected to get the nod Saturday, and then the Lightning have an advantage with Curtis McElhinney over Panthers' Chris Driedger. 

Lightning are 47-18 in their last 65 games following a loss of 3 or more goals and 19-7 in their last 26 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.

8* play on Tampa Bay Lightning. 

ARKANSAS @ MISSOURI 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

Fade the Arkansas Razorbacks off an 81-80 win at Kentucky. The Missouri Tigers took an 80-59 loss at Ole Miss last time out, and I expect a big reaction. The Tigers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and the Razorbacks are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

8* play on Missouri. 

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

Love the Philadelphia 76ers in this spot as we should see a reaction following a disappointing loss at Portland. The 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

The surging Phoenix Suns just might be due for a letdown game after winning seven of eight (four straight) SU and ATS. While Phoenix has plenty of talent on the roster, it can not hang with Philly yet, particularly not with Philadelphia off a loss. 

10* play on Philadelphia 76ers. 

AUBURN @ KENTUCKY 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Fade the Kentucky Wildcats who have lost four straight SU and ATS. Auburn snapped a three-game losing streak with a 73-67 win over Vanderbilt on Tuesday and it is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Wildcats are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Auburn won the first meeting against Kentucky 66-59 at home on Jan. 16.

8* play on Auburn. 

OKLAHOMA @ WEST VIRGINIA 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER

Revenge game for West Virginia who too a 75-71 loss to then-unranked Oklahoma back on Jan 2. The Mountaineers were going through a rough patch at the time (roster issues), but they have turned things around and enter Saturday on a three-game winning streak. In their last game, West Virginia won 82-71 at TTU, impressive. Back the Mountaineers to get their revenge. 

8* play on West Virginia. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

Absolutely love to fade the Chicago Bulls here as they are coming off a 129-116 win over New Orleans. Bulls are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games after scoring more than 125 points, 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points in their previous game and 18-37 ATS in their last 55 games following a straight up win.

They'll face a Los Angeles Clippers team that just snapped a two-game slide with a 119-112 win at Minnesota. The Clippers failed to cover the spread for a third straight game, but they are still 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 road games.

10* play on Los Angeles Clippers. 

PISTONS @ CELTICS 8* NBA BANKROLL BUILDER

Terrific buy low, sell high spot, backing the Detroit Pistons off a loss to Indiana while Boston is coming off a 14-point win against Toronto. 

Pistons are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 0 days rest. Pistons are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. Celtics are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

8* play on Detroit Pistons. 

3-PACK OF NBA WINNERS

Great spot to back the San Antonio Spurs to bounce back from a 114-91 thrashing they suffered at Golden State on February 9. With two full days to rest and recover, I'm sure they'll bring a lot of energy into tonight's game. The Spurs had won three straight games SU and were 2-0 ATS before the setback. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 2 days rest and 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a road underdog.

The Atlanta Hawks have dropped four of their last five games SU (2-3 ATS). They battled Dallas hard in a one-point loss on February 10 last time out, but I think they'll come up short against a well-rested Spurs team. 

In addition to the Spurs to cover the spread, I also like this game to be a relatively low-scoring affair. 

Under is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 overall. Under is 5-2 in Spurs last 7 games as an underdog. Under is 7-3 in Spurs last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home. Under is 14-6 in Hawks last 20 overall.

8* play on San Antonio Spurs.

8* play on UNDER. 

SIXERS @ BLAZERS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Philadelphia 76ers have only one loss in their last seven games, a 121-105 home loss to Portland on February 4. They have since taken care of Brooklyn and Sacramento. I like the Sixers to avenge the setback with a big outing tonight. 

The Blazers are only 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a home underdog and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

8* play on Philadelphia 76ers. 

TOP-RATED 10* NHL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Vegas Golden Knights and the Anaheim Ducks combined for nine goals in a 5-4 Vegas win a couple of days ago. Seven of Vegas' last eight have gone over the total, and I think we'll see another high-scoring affair tonight with John Gibson (2.48 GAA) and Robin Lehner (2.96 GAA) expected to tend the nets. Gibson has given up at least three goals in four of his last five starts while Lehner's GAA of almost 3 over the season says it all. 

10* play on OVER. 

LATE NIGHT UNLV VS BOISE STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BLA$TER | 10:00 PM ET

The Boise State Broncos are not playing well at the moment losing three of their last four SU and straight up. Here they'll face a UNLV team with momentum following a pair of big wins against Air Force. While the Rebels are 0-5 ATS in their last five overall, note that they are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog.

Boise State might very well win the game, but it won't be by double-digits. 

8* play on UNLV. 

*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA CENTRAL GAME OF THE YEAR 

The Indiana Pacers have lost four in a row and failed to cover the number in six of their last seven games. They will be playing on no rest following a 10-point loss at Brooklyn last night. However, note that the Pacers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite. 

They'll face a Detroit team in a letdown spot after covering the spread in back-to-back games, first taking the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers to double overtime on Saturday and then recording a 122-111 upset win over Brooklyn on Tuesday. Pistons are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Pistons are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 1 days rest.

10* play on Indiana Pacers. 

LATE NIGHT BUCKS @ SUNS 8* BOOKIE BU$TER TOTAL

The Milwaukee Bucks are 14-9-1 to the over on the season and the over is 12-4-1 in Bucks last 17 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Phoenix Suns are 14-9 to the under on the season but 4-1 to the over last 5 games as an underdog. The Bucks average a league-best 121.3 ppg and they have the second-best field goal percentage at 49.4%. While Phoenix has been solid on the defensive end, I think the visitors will force them into a shootout here. 

8* play on OVER. 

CAVS @ NUGGETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to cover the spread in seven straight games, but I like their chances of keeping it close here against a Denver team that is not playing well either at the moment. The Nuggets have dropped three straight and four of their last five, covering the number in only one of those games. 

The Cavs have two big men in Jarrett Allen and Andre Drummond who can take turns in slowing down Denver star Nikola Jokic. 

Cavaliers are 6-2-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Denver.

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK

The Dallas Mavericks are coming off a 127-122 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday to make it three wins in four games. The Mavs still failed to cover the spread in the win, and they are 1-9 ATS over their last 10 games. 

Here they'll face a well-rested Atlanta team that has had plenty of time to prepare since snapping a three-game losing streak with a 132-121 win over the Toronto Raptors on February 6. 

Hawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 3 or more days rest, 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Mavericks are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 home games.

The Mavericks defeated Atlanta 122-116 on Feb. 3, but the Hawks are still a solid 11-3 ATS in the last 14 meetings.

10* play on Atlanta Hawks. 

*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* NHL GAME OF THE WEEK (SIDE)

The Montreal Canadiens have won six of their last eight games. They average a league-best 4.0 goals per game and have also locked down on defense in recent games. The Toronto Maple Leafs have won three straight and seven of their last eight, but they looked sluggish and recorded only 19 shots in a 3-1 win over Vancouver last time out. 

Maple Leafs are 4-9 in their last 13 games as a road underdog. Maple Leafs are 6-14 in their last 20 games as an underdog. Canadiens are 6-2 in their last 8 games as a favorite. Maple Leafs are 3-11 in the last 14 meetings in Montreal.

10* play on Montreal Canadiens. 

EARLY UCONN @ PROVIDENCE 8* CBB BOOKIE BREAKER

Good spot to back the UConn Huskies to bounce back from a disappointing 80-73 loss to Seton Hall on Feb 6. They have had plenty of time to rest, prepare and process the defeat and they are still a solid 8-4 SU (9-3 ATS) on the season despite dropping three of their last four games. Leading scorer, James Bouknight, might be back in the lineup for the first time since injuring his left elbow Jan. 5.

Providence is coming off three straight losses SU and ATS, and I think its slide will continue. 

8* play on UConn Huskies. 

LATE NIGHT 8* NHL | SHARKS VS KINGS MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Los Angeles Kings are only 1-2-2 home at Staples Center on the season. They've lost four straight overall and the injury list is not a pretty sight. 

The San Jose Sharks are 4-5-1 despite not playing a single home game yet due to COVID-19 restrictions in Santa Clara County. They should be ready to go off following back-to-back shootout losses to Anaheim and they have had an extra day of rest compared to the Kings.

8* play on San Jose Sharks. 

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

The Chicago Blackhawks have won three of their last four and picked up their first road win of the season with a 2-1 OT triumph here at Dallas on Sunday. In other words, good spot to fade Chicago in this game. 

That loss was the Stars' first setback home at American Airlines Center for the year. "We left a point on the board today, in my opinion," Dallas coach Rick Bowness said Sunday, "and we've got to get it back on Tuesday night." I like the home team to bounce back with a big game tonight. 

Blackhawks are 4-12 in their last 16 games as an underdog. Blackhawks are 5-17 in their last 22 games as a road underdog. Stars are 5-1 in their last 6 games as a home favorite. Stars are 7-2 in their last 9 games as a favorite.

10* play on Dallas Stars. 

KNICKS @ HEAT 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The New York Knicks lost the first meeting of this home-and-home series 109-103 home at Madison Square Garden on Sunday. I like them to keep it closer here in the second game. Sure, the Heat have been playing a lot better since getting Jimmy Butler back in the lineup, but they are still 8-14-1 ATS on the season and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 home games. The Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS loss and had defeated Chicago and Portland as underdogs prior to Sunday's setback. 

8* play on New York Knicks. 

PENN STATE @ MICHIGAN STATE 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Penn State Nittany Lions are 1-6 SU on the road (0-6 in Big Ten) and took a 72-56 beating at Wisconsin in their last away game. The Michigan State Spartans ended a four-game skid (three on the road) with a 66-56 win over Nebraska last time out and they are 7-2 SU home in East Lansing on the season. 

The Spartans need to start winning games to make it back to the NCAA Tournament, and I expect a big game from them tonight. 

8* play on Michigan State. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* THUNDER @ LAKERS NBA 10* TOP PLAY

The Los Angeles Lakers have covered the spread in only two of their last seven games, and last time out Detroit gave them a real scare taking the game to overtime as a 14-point dog. The Oklahoma City Thunder have won four of their last seven games, winning three of those as underdogs. 

Thunder are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. Thunder are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games as a road underdog. Lakers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. Thunder are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.

10* play on Oklahoma City Thunder. 

CAVS @ SUNS 8* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

The Phoenix Suns are overvalued by the betting market after winning five of their last six games (also 5-1 ATS), including a solid 100-91 win over Boston yesterday. 

Tough spot playing on no rest against a Cleveland team that is undervalued by the betting market after going 1-6 over its last seven games, failing to cover the spread in each game. 

The Cavs need to start picking up wins to not fall out of the postseason conversation in the East, and I think they'll show up tonight. 

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

MONDAY NIGHT 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

Love the St. Louis Blues here in the finale of a four-game set against Arizona. 

The Blues won the first contest on Tuesday, but Arizona prevailed 4-3 on Thursday and 3-1 on Saturday, despite being outshot in both games. We can also note that this was the first time the Yotes won consecutive games this season and they are only 6-21 in their last 27 road games.

The Blues should be mighty fired up to ensure a split of this set. "I do believe that we're better, and you see these guys again on Monday, and then again," Blues captain Ryan O'Reilly said. "And I think we can beat them. We have to take it one game at a time, even break it down more to one period at a time. We can prove we're a better team than them."

8* play on St. Louis Blues. 

ISLANDERS VS RANGERS 8* NHL BOOKIE BOMBER

The New York Isladners snapped an ugly five-game losing streak with a 4-3 win over Pittsburgh last time out. It's worth noting that even during their slide, the Isles outshot their opponent in four of the five games. These two teams split a two game series back on Jan 14 and Jan 16. Considering this is a rivalry game, I think the value is on the dog. 

8* play on New York Islanders. 

TOP-RATED 10* EPL PLAY OF THE DAY

Leeds United had won back-to-back road games prior to a 2-1 home loss to Everton last time out. I like Leeds to bounce back here against a Crystal Palace side that is coming off a pair of wins over Wolves and Newcastle.  

Palace will be shorthanded with 10 players at risk of missing this game, several regular starters including star attacker Wilfried Zaha who has nine goals in 19 games. 

10* play on Leeds Unied. 

MONDAY AFTERNOON LA LIGA BANKROLL BUILDER (8*)

League-leading Atletico Madrid is riding a four-game winning streak while Celta Vigo is winless with four losses and two draws through its last six games. The visitors have failed to score in three of their last five LL games. 

Atletico has nine wins and a draw through 10 La Liga home games on the season. Celta has one win, six draws and four losses in 11 away games. 

8* play on Atletico Madrid. 

SOCCER 3-PACK

Leeds United had won back-to-back road games prior to a 2-1 home loss to Everton last time out. I like Leeds to bounce back here against a Crystal Palace side that is coming off a pair of wins over Wolves and Newcastle.  

Palace will be shorthanded with 10 players at risk of missing this game, several regular starters including star attacker Wilfried Zaha who has nine goals in 19 games. 

In addition to Leeds winning the game, I also like the over as I think they'll keep pushing the pedal to the metal and score in bunches. 

8* play on OVER. 

SUPER EARLY QUINNIPIAC @ FAIRFILD 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

Good spot to back the Fairfield Stags after taking a 78-63 loss to this very Quinnipiac team yesterday. The Bobcats shot 57% from the field and 50% (11-of-22) from 3-point range, both way above their season averages. I find it very unlikely that they can come up with a shooting performance like that two days in a row, and note that the Stags are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home.

8* play on Fairfield. 

CHIEFS VS BUCS SUPER BOWL LV *BEST OF THE BEST*

The oddsmakers have the Kansas City Chiefs as a three-point favorite over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. I think the value is on the underdog.

While the Chiefs have an edge offensively, the Bucs defense is one of the best in the league and going against Tom Brady in big games is rarely a winning proposition. We can also note that Tampa Bay has home field advantage, and even though there will be a limited amount of fans at the game, at least they are very familiar with the stadium. 

Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Chiefs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Chiefs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

10* play on Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The oddsmakers have the Kansas City Chiefs as a three-point favorite over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Super Bowl. I think the value is on the underdog.

Buccaneers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as an underdog. Chiefs are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite. Chiefs are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 meetings.

In addition to the Bucs to cover the number, I also think they'll keep it relatively low-scoring and see value on the under. 

8* play on UNDER.

8* SUPER BOWL SUNDAY NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Dallas Stars are a rather hefty favorite over the Chicago Blackhawks, but I still think they are worth the price. 

Dallas is a solid 5-2-1 on the season (undefeated 4-0-0 at home) while averaging a league-best 4.0 goals per game. This looks like a favorable spot to back the Stars who will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Columbus. Chicago on the other hand has won only four of 12 games on the season, one most recently when it defeated Carolina 6-4. 

Blackhawks are 1-4 in their last 5 games following a win. Blackhawks are 4-17 in their last 21 games as a road underdog. Blackhawks are 2-9 in their last 11 games as an underdog. Stars are 5-0 in their last 5 games as a home favorite. Stars are 7-1 in their last 8 games as a favorite.

8* play on Dallas. 

HURRICANES @ BLUE JACKETS 8* NHL BOOKIE BA$HER

The Carolina Hurricanes had won five straight prior to a disappointing 6-4 loss at Chicago on Thursday. They are still a solid 6-2 in their last 8 games as a road favorite, and I like the price we get on the Canes when they visit Columbus on Sunday. The Blue Jackets have been inconsistent, and their 5-4-3 record does not impress me. The Jackets are coming off a 4-3 win as an underdog against Dallas, but they are 1-7 in their last 8 games following a win.

8* play on Carolina. 

*MAJOR WAGER ALERT* | TOP-RATED 10* NBA PACIFIC GAME OF THE MONTH

This might look like a tough spot for the Kings who will be playing on no rest after defeating the Nuggets last night, but the way they are playing right now I still think Sacramento is spotted way too many points in this contest.

The Kings are playing their best basketball of the season and have covered the spread in seven straight games, winning six of those outright despite closing five of the games as underdogs. 

The Clippers have dropped three of their last seven outright and they'll be without two key pieces as Patrick Beverley (knee) and Paul George (toe) are both out with injuries. 

10* play on Sacramento Kings. 

DREXEL @ HOFSTRA 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

Hofstra had won five on the bounce before losing 73-71 to Drexel on Saturday. They'll get a quick revenge opportunity here on Sunday, and I like the Pride to bounce back with a big game today. Note that Hofstra had 64 shot attempts against Drexel's 42, but they made only 38% of their shots while the Dragons shot an insane 62%. That won't happen today. Hofstra takes this one easily. 

8* play on Hofstra. 

WIZARDS @ HORNETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Washington Wizards have won only two of their last eight games, failing to cover the spread in each loss. Last time out they took a 122-95 loss at Miami, and I don't have the Wizards pegged as a team that bounces back from awful outings right away. The Hornets have been competitive lately despite taking a 138-121 loss to Utah last time out. They are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a double-digit loss at home and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog.

8* play on Charlotte Hornets. 

SUPER EARLY IOWA VS INDIANA 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Good spot to back the Iowa Hawkeyes as they're coming off a disappointing 89-85 loss to Ohio State. They have now dropped three of their last four straight up (0-4 ATS) and need to turn the ship around ASAP. 

The Hoosiers have also dropped three of their last four, and they are only 4-4 SU at home on the season and Hoosiers are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games.

Additionally, revenge game for Iowa after taking an 81-69 home loss to Indiana on Jan 21. 

Hawkeyes are 15-3 ATS in their last 18 games following a ATS loss. Hawkeyes are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss.

*BAILOUT PLAY* PISTONS @ LAKERS 8* NBA BOOKIE BREAKER

Sure, the Los Angeles Lakers can beat Detroit by 20+ points if they want to, but why bother to do more than just enough to get the W? The Lakers are coming off a 113-93 win over Denver but they are only 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

The Pistons have only five straight up wins on the season, and they have pretty much no shot at winning this one outright. They are however 11-9-1 ATS on the season and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. I also think we'll see a bit of a reaction after losing by 17 points at Phoenix last night.

Pistons are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

8* play on Detroit. 

WARRIORS @ MAVS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

Wow, what a revenge spot for the Mavs after taking a beating by the Warriors in the opener of this two-game set a couple of days ago. It was a bad spot for the Mavs who were playing on no rest after defeating Atlanta the night before, but they will have their energy levels back to normal for this one. Dallas has won only one of its last seven games, but I think Thursday's shellacking will serve as a wake-up call and we should see a hyper-motivated Mavs team take the court tonight. 

8* play on Dallas. 

WASHINGTON STATE VS OREGON STATE 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

The Oregon State Beavers are 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last six games. The losses came at USC and UCLA and they have impressive upset wins over Arizona State, USC and Oregon during that stretch. Last time out, they blew out Washington by 20 points. 

The Washington State Cougars had lost six on the bounce before coming up with back-to-back wins. Last time out, they upset Oregon as an 11.5-point dog, which sets up a potential flat spot here. 

8* play on Oregon State. 

ST. BONAVENTURE @ ST: LOUIS | 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Saint Louis Billikens have dropped back-to-back games, as nine and 12.5-point favorites respectively, since returning to the court after having five games postponed due to COVID-19 concerns. 

I think we'll see a huge reaction today, and they'll face a Bonnies team due for a bad game after reeling off seven straight victories. All but one of those wins came as favorites though, and now they'll be in the unusual spot as an underdog. 

Billikens are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite.

8* play on St. Louis. 

*BIG BET ALERT* TOP-RATED 10* EPL SOCCER GAME OF THE WEEK

This looks like a great price on fifth-placed West Ham to beat 18th-placed Fulham who is in deep relegation trouble with only 14 points in 21 games. Fulham's 17 goals scored is the second-worst mark in the league and they have been shut out in four of their last six games. The Hammers on the other hand are on a roll, with seven wins and a loss to Liverpool in their last eight games. 

10* play on West Ham. 

SUPER EARLY SETON HALL VS UCONN 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The UConn Huskies have not played since Jan 26 after having their last two games postponed, and they'll be without injured leading scorer James Bouknight for a sixth straight game.

Still, the Huskies are 3-2 SU and 4-1 ATS without Bouknight and I like them to get the job done here against a Seton Hall team in a letdown spot after ending a three-game skid with an impressive 60-43 win at Providence last time out.

The Pirates held the Friars to 34 percent shooting from the field in the victory, but here they'll get a taste of their own medicine by a UConn defense that ranks first in conference games in points allowed (62.9 ppg). 

8* play on UConn. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* TOP-RATED 10* CELTICS @ CLIPPERS BOOKIE BREAKER

The Los Angeles Clippers have won four of their last five, including a 121-99 win at Cleveland last time out. This looks like a potential letdown spot though as they return home from a six-game trip that started on Jan 28. The Boston Celtics on the other hand have dropped three of their last four, including a 116-111 loss at Sacramento last time out. I think the Celtics will be well up for this one. 

Celtics are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games as an underdog. Celtics are 16-7 ATS in their last 23 games as a road underdog.

10* play on Boston Celtics. 

BUCKS VS CAVS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to cover the spread in four straight games and took a 121-99 beating by the Clippers last time out. The Cavs are Cavaliers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points, and I like them to keep this close.

Milwaukee is due for a letdown game after scoring 130+ points in back-to-back games (both at home). The Bucks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite, 6-16-1 ATS in their last 23 games following a straight up win and 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points.

Bucks are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Cleveland.

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

SUBSCRIBERS ONLY

The Houston Rockets are 12-7-1 to the under this season while Memphis Grizzlies are 9-7 to the under. Both teams rank in the top 10 for scoring defense and in the bottom-half for 3-point shooting. 

Under is 8-2 in Rockets last 10 games as an underdog. Under is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 5-1 in Grizzlies last 6 games as a favorite. Under is 21-5 in Grizzlies last 26 home games. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Memphis.

In addition to the under, I also like Memphis to win and cover. Houston will play its fourth consecutive road game and on no rest following a 104-87 loss at OKC last night while the Grizzlies return home from a three-game trip after losign 134-116 at Indiana on Tuesday. 

Rockets are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest. Rockets are 2-11 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points.

TOP-RATED 10* FLAMES VS JETS NHL BIG HITTER

The Winnipeg Jets and the Calgary Flames are tied at 1-1 heading into the finale of this three-game series. Winnipeg won the last meeting, but that was with a pair of backup goalies in net for both teams. That means Jacob Markstrom between the sticks for the Flames, and he's a hot 4-2-1 with a 2.27 GAA on the season. 

Flames are 10-3 in their last 13 games as a favorite. Flames are 7-3 in their last 10 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Jets are 4-10 in their last 14 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation. Jets are 4-14 in their last 18 in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation. Jets are 2-5 in their last 7 games following a win.

This looks like a great spot to back the Golden State Warriors to bounce back from a 111-107 loss to Boston. This will be only their second game of the week while the Mavs will be playing the second game of a back-to-back after winning at Atlanta last night. Mavericks are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest, and they had failed to cover the spread in six straight games prior to yesterday's win. 

10* play on Golden State Warriors

*BIG BET ALERT* OHIO STATE VS IOWA BIG TEN GAME OF THE MONTH

The Ohio State Buckeyes are riding a three-game winning streak that started with an upset win at Wisconsin on Jan 23. I do not like their chances in this one though, facing an Iowa team that is undervalued and due for a big game after winning only one of its last three games, failing to cover the spread in all three. 

While Ohio State has scored 70+ points in three straight games, note that Iowa has the second-best scoring average in the nation on the season, averaging 89.4 points per game.  

Hawkeyes are 15-2 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS loss. Hawkeyes are 20-5-2 ATS in their last 27 home games. Buckeyes are 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

CINCINNATI VS TEMPLE 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Good spot to fade the Bearcats who are only 2-8 ATS on the season and have been out of action since Jan. 10 after having six games postponed due to a COVID-19 outbreak in the program. Temple has covered the number in four of its last six games 

Bearcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite. Owls are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog. I'm counting on Temple to get it done here against a shorthanded and rusty Bearcats team. 

8* play on Temple. 

TOP-RATED 10* EPL TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

Tottenham has scored only one goal in its last two games, both losses. The absence of star striker Harry Kane hurts Spurs' offense immensely, but the team's defense is solid with only 21 goals allowed 20 EPL games on the season. Chelsea is also a good defensive team with 23 goals allowed in 21 games, and it is coming off back-to-back clean sheets.

LATE NIGHT CELTICS VS KINGS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER TOTAL

The Kings are 4-2 to the under in their last six games. Here they'll face a Boston defense that ranks eighth in the NBA in scoring defense, and playing on no rest following a 111-107 win at Golden State last night. Each of the Celtics last four games have gone under the total, with an average of only 104 ppg allowed.

*BAILOUT PLAY* | TOP-RATED 10* SUNS VS PELICANS TOTAL | 8-3 RUN!

The Phoenix Suns are riding a three-game winning streak, and improved defense has been a key component in their success. Over their last four games, the Suns have held opponents to an average of 102 ppg, and here they'll face a New Orleans team that has a bottom-third scoring average. As for Phoenix, its offense is far more potent at home than on the road. 

Under is 8-3 in Suns last 11 road games. Under is 5-1 in Suns last 6 games as a road favorite.

SMU VS TULSA 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER

The SMU Mustangs took a 22-point beating at conference-leader Houston last time out. They shot only 32% (15-of-47) in the setback, but I like them to bounce back here against a Tulsa team coming off a 77-68 triumph at East Carolina on Dec 30. The Golden Hurricane had lost back-to-back games prior to the win, and I don't think they'll be as hungry for a win here as the visitors.

8* play on SMU Mustangs. 

WEDNESDAY NIGHT 8* NHL MONEYLINE MASSACRE

The Boston Bruins have only one loss in regulation this season. They outscored the Flyers 11-5 through a two-game sweep in Boston on Jan 21 and 23, and I like them to get the job done here in Philly Wednesday night. 

While the Flyers are 7-2-1 on the season, note that they have been outshot in nine of those 10 games, and they rank 29th in shots for and 31st in shots against. 

8* play on Boston. 

76ERS VS HORNETS 8* BOOKIE BU$TER

Good spot to fade the Charlotte Hornets who are coming off three consecutive upset wins. They'll host a Sixers side that is one of the hottest teams in the league and Philly is 4-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings. Joel Embiid missed the Sixers 119-110 win at Indiana on Sunday, but he's expected to be back for this one. "Joel practiced (Tuesday), looked fine, looked good," said Rivers. “As long as there’s no setbacks, that's a problem with anything, the next day is really a telltale sign is how you feel the next day."

East Carolina is 7-6 SU (3-8 ATS) on the season, and coming off five straight losses SU and ATS. I just don't see the Pirates keeping pace with the superior Cougars.

PURDUE VS MARYLAND 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

Purdue is coming off an 81-62 rout of Minnesota. Very impressive, but I think the Boilermakers will find this to be a much tougher game, facing a well-rested and angry Maryland team that took a 61-55 loss to Wisconsin last time out. We can also note that this is a revenge game for the Terps after losing 73-70 at Purdue on December 25.

Man United is coming off a 0-0 draw at Arsenal. It was a small miracle the game ended in a goalless draw considering the number of quality goalscoring opportunities both teams created.

The UMBC Retrievers are 10-4 SU and 8-6 ATS on the season. This looks like a good spot to back them to bounce back from a 69-65 loss to the Highlanders a couple of days ago. NJIT is only 6-7 SU and ATS on the season. It shot 50% from the field and had 18 free throw attempts against only 10 for UMBC in the first meeting of this doubleheader. I expect a much better game from the Retrievers in this one.

KNICKS VS BULLS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER TOTAL

The New York Knicks took a 129-115 loss to the Clippers on Sunday. That was a rare high-scoring game for the Knickerbockers who own the no. 1 scoring defense in the NBA and are 14-7 to the under on the season. I think we'll see a more typical Knicks game here against a Bulls team that has averaged only 105 ppg through three consecutive losses. 

Under is 8-2 in Knicks last 10 games as a road underdog. Under is 6-1 in Knicks last 7 games following a double-digit loss at home.

8* play on UNDER. 

PENGUINS VS RANGERS 8* NHL BOOKIE BU$TER

The New York Rangers have only two wins on the season, but note that five of their six losses were one-goal affairs. Last night they fell in OT to this very Pittsburgh team, and I like the Rangers to be the hungrier of the two sides in this one.

ILLINOIS STATE VS DRAKE 8* CBB BANKROLL BUILDER

The Drake Bulldogs had covered the spread in each of their 13 games this season before winning by only two in OT as a 19-point favorite against  Illinois State yesterday. We'll see plenty of inflated lines against Drake the rest of the season due to its exceptional ATS record. I like the Redbirds to keep this one within the number as well, particularly as Drake does not have a perfect record to protect anymore.

EARLY GEORGIA TECH VS LOUISVILLE 8* CBB BOOKIE BOMBER ~ 2:00 ET

Georgia Tech is coming off an upset win over Florida State which sets up a potential flat spot. Louisville on the other hand took a 54-50 loss at Clemson last time out, its third loss in four games. The Cardinals made only 18-of-57 field goals against the Tigers, but they should have better success against the Yellow Jackets who are allowing 71.5 ppg (218th). I'm backing Louisville to bounce back with a strong performance today. 

8* play on Louisville. 

*BAILOUT PLAY* TOP-RATED 10* CAVS @ WOLVES BOOKIE BREAKER - 8-2 RUN!

The 4-14 Wolves have won only one of their last eight games, and they are 2-6 ATS during that stretch. Timberwolves are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

JAZZ VS NUGGETS 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER TOTAL

The Denver Nuggets are 14-5 to the over on the season, but I think we'll see a relatively low-scoring affair when they host the Jazz Sunday afternoon. 

Utah is the hottest team in the NBA, and a big reason for its 11 straight wins is its play on the defensive end. Additionally, the Jazz will be crippled offensively without Donovan Mitchell and Derrick Favors. 

Under is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 road games. Under is 7-3 in Jazz last 10 overall. Under is 22-10 in the last 32 meetings. Under is 17-5 in the last 22 meetings in Denver.

The Devils are allowing 32.1 shots per game, and I don't see them slowing down a Buffalo team that has scored three goals or more in four of its last five games.

SUPER EARLY TOP-RATED 10* MICHIGAN STATE @ OHIO STATE *BEST OF THE BEST*

Ohio State defeated Penn State 83-79 last time out, but it was far from an impressive performance as the Buckeyes committed a season-high 17 turnovers. I think we'll see another lackluster win for the Buckeyes here, and while I do think they'll win outright, I really like Michigan State to cover the number. 

The Spartans shot only 29% (16-of-56) from the field in an embarrassing 67-37 loss at Rutgers on Thursday. They are somewhat excused as it was the Spartans' first game since Jan. 8 after having three games postponed due to COVID-19 issues in the program. "I'm sure we have a little COVID hangover, I understand that, but that will not be an excuse for the way we played," Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said. "That would be a good excuse for losing a game, but not the way we played."

I have no doubt coach Izzo will have his players better prepared for this one.
