The under is 4-1 in the Detroit Pistons' last five overall and 11-4 in their last 15 games playing on two days rest, which they are here following a 114-108 OT win against Charlotte on Thursday. Tonight they'll host a bitter rival in the Boston Celtics who will be looking to bounce back from a 107-97 loss at Toronto on Friday, and we should see a defensive battle.

The last two meetings have been high-scoring affairs, but each of the last four in the series prior to that had gone under the total. I think the number posted for this contest is on the high side, and I'm taking the under.

The Wolves are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win and the Rockets will be looking for revenge for a 119-105 loss at Minnesota back in January. The Rockets came out strong from the All-Star break with a 129-99 demolition of the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday, and we could see a similar scoreline tonight.

They've dominated the Minnesota Timberwolves in recent seasons going 5-1 ATS in the last six head-to-head meetings and I think they look good in this contest. The Timberwolves have alternated wins and losses through their last six games, and they headed into the All Star break on the back of a 112-99 win at Denver. The Wolves are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up win and just 2-6 ATS in their last eight Friday night games. The Mavs meanwhile are 6-0 ATS in their last six Friday games and I'm taking the points on the visitors here.

The Clippers are still without Chris Paul who is expected to be out until the middle of March, and the Warriors have dominated this series in recent years, winning the last nine in the series, including the first three meetings this season by an average of 25.3 points. With both teams well rested I fully expect the Warriors to run away with this game.

It will be very interesting to follow the New Orleans Pelicans here in the second half of the season as they've brought in DeMarcus Cousins from Sacramento. I'm not quite sure how Cousins and Anthony Davis will fit together, and it could take some time before the Pels will see some positive results. Tonight they'll host the Rockets who have covered the spread in five of the last seven meetings and Houston made 24 3-pointers in a 122-100 victory on Dec. 16. I expect their shooting from behind the arc to be the difference once again, and I like the visitors in this matchup.

We can also note that they're coming off a 86-72 triumph over Oral Roberts and the over is 10-1 in the Coyotes last 11 games following a straight up win.

St. Louis had won six on the bounce prior to a 3-2 loss at Buffalo Saturday night (despite out-shooting the Sabres 39-28) while Florida has won four straight and seven of its last eight. I think the clear value is on the home team here as the Blues have won seven of the last eight head-to-head meetings, and the Panthers should struggle both mentally and physically here in the finale of a five-game road trip, particularly after winning four straight.

We can also note that they'll enter this game well rested coming off a bye week while the Sharks will have a week off after tonight's matchup. I think the Sharks will struggle to come up with the motivation and energy necessary to beat Boston here, and my money is on the visitors.

I like them here as a home favorite though. We can note that the favorite is 9-3-1 ATS in the last 13 head-to-head meetings with Illinois, and the Hawkeyes will be looking to revenge a 76-64 loss at Illinois on Jan. 25.

Charlotte has lost 10 of its last 11 games and the team is 3-12-1 ATS in its last 16 games overall. Toronto has not played great lately either, but the home court advantage and the revenge factor should lead them to a big win here just before the All Star break.

The Golden State Warriors bounced back from Saturday's 109-106 OT loss at Sacramento by routing the Bulls 123-92 two days ago. Tonight they'll be looking to revenge a 128-119 OT home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on January 6, and they also lost the first meeting of the season here at FedExForum. The Warriors are excellent at executing revenge, and we should also note that this contest marks Kevin Durant's first trip back to Oklahoma City so he'll surely have himself and the team fired up. The Warriors are 3-1 ATS when revenging a home loss vs. an opponent on the season and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. 

The Grizzlies have won six of their last seven, including an 89-74 win against San Antonio earlier this week, but I fully expect the Warriors to run away with this game. 

NBA *HARDWOOD HAMMER*
Play: Denver Nuggets
Rating: 8/10*

The Denver Nuggets are coming off a 117-106 loss at Atlanta, but they're 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Tonight they'll visit a 22-32 New York Knicks side that has failed to cover the spread in four of its last five games, and Joakim Noah sat out Wednesday's 119-115 loss to the Clippers with a hamstring injury and reportedly could miss the next three games. The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in the series, and I'm happy to take the points on the visitors in this matchup.  

NBA
Play: Utah Jazz
Rating: 8/10*

The Utah Jazz are coming off a 127-94 triumph at New Orleans last night, their fourth win in a row. They've already defeated the Mavs three times this season, and I like the surging Jazz to come out ahead of tonight's contest as well. Dallas lost 114-113 to Portland on Tuesday and the team is just 4-11 ATS in its last 15 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Rating: 8/10*

The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 132-117 at Indiana last night. They're expected to rest "the big three" here on the second night of a back-to-back, and then you simply gotta give the advantage to a Thunder squad that is 7-1 ATS in its last eight home at Chesapeake Energy Arena. I don't see OKC holding anything back as its looking to revenge a 107-91 loss at Cleveland on January 29. Let's go with the Thunder here. 

Top Rated 10* NBA East vs. West *GAME OF THE MONTH*
Play: Houston Rockets
Rating: 10/10*

The Charlotte Hornets had dropped seven on the bounce prior to a 111-107 win against the lowly Nets on Tuesday. They're 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games overall, and here they'll take on a Houston team that is playing better ball again after a disappointing month of January. The Rockets are coming off a 128-104 thrashing of the Magic, and they're 18-7 ATS when playing against a team with a losing record on the season. Houston superstar James Harden went off for 40 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists in a 121-114 home win over Charlotte on Jan. 10, and I don't think the Hornets will have an answer for him or the rest of the Rockets tonight either.

Play: Buffalo Sabres
Rating: 8/10*

The Buffalo Sabres came back from a three-goal deficit to beat the San Jose Sharks 5-4 in overtime on Tuesday to improve to 6-1 in their last seven home games.Tonight they'll host an Anaheim Ducks squad that has scored just a total of four goals through three consecutive losses on the road. Buffalo is a solid 12-1-3 in its last 16 home games against Western Conference teams, and I think we're getting a great price on the Sabres in this contest. 

Top Rated 10* NBA *BASKET BRAWLER*
Play: Miami Heat
Rating: 10/10*

The Milwaukee Bucks had dropped five in a row prior to a 137-112 win at Phoenix on Saturday. They're just 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game though and I think they'll come up short here against a red hot Miami side. The Heat are playing excellent basketball right now, coming off 11 straight wins and they're 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall. Miami won't keep winning forever (obviously), but I don't think the Bucks will be the team to beat them in the state they're in at the moment. The fact that we're getting points on the visitors is just a bonus. 

NBA *CA$H COW*
Play: Toronto Raptors
Rating: 8/10*

The Toronto Raptors are coming off a 118-109 win over the Clippers at home on Monday. Demar DeRozan scored 31 points after missing four straight games with an ankle injury, and the Raptors look so much stronger with him back in the lineup. The Wolves meanwhile will have to do without their third-leading scorer, Zach LaVine, who is out for the rest of the season with a torn ACL. Minnesota has dropped four consecutive games, and covered the spread in just one of their last nine contests. The Raptors are 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings at Target Center, and I expect that trend to continue here Wednesday night.

NBA 3-Pack
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

The Utah Jazz have the best scoring defense in the NBA, allowing just 95.4 points per game. They're coming off a high-scoring affair in a 120-95 win at Atlanta though, and the over is 7-1 in Utah's last eight games following a straight up win. The New Orleans Pelicans are allowing 106.4 points per game and the over is 7-3 in their last 10 overall. All of the last six meetings at Smoothie King Center have gone over the total, and I expect this to sail over the total as well. 

Late Night NBA - Mavs/Nuggets
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

The over is 4-1 in the Dallas Mavericks' last five games and they've averaged 107 points per game through four consecutive victories. Tonight they'll visit a Denver Nuggets team that has a 35-14-1 over/under record on the season, and the over is 9-1-1 in the Nuggets' last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Five of the last six head-to-head matchups at Pepsi Center have gone over the total, the most recent a 117-107 Denver win back in December. I expect another high-scoring encounter tonight. 

NBA 3-Pack
Play: Miami Heat
Rating: 8/10*

The Miami Heat are winners of 10 straight contests, and they're 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games. Tonight they'll visit a Minnesota Timberwolves squad that has dropped three straight and covered the spread just once in their last eight games. The Heat are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven head-to-head meetings with Minnesota. Take the red hot visitors here at Target Center Monday night.

Top Rated 10* Jazz/Hawks *BEST BET*
Play: Atlanta Hawks
Rating: 10/10*

The Atlanta Hawks are coming off a 113-86 thrashing of the Magic, and I think they'll keep rolling here as they seek revenge for a 95-68 loss at Utah back in November. The Jazz are coming off a pair of wins as home favorites against Milwaukee and Charlotte, but they're 0-7 ATS in their last seven road games and 2-11 ATS as an underdog overall this season. Take the home team to come out ahead in this contest.

The Philadelphia Flyers are 11-2-2 in their last 15 home home at Wells Fargo Center, and they'll host a St. Louis Blues team that is just 8-13-1 on the road this season. The Blues have won only two of their last eight overall and they're 1-5 in the last six head-to-head meetings in Philadelphia. Let's go Flyers!

Top Rated 10* Super Bowl LI *BEST BET*
Play: New England Patriots
Rating: 10/10*

The big game is finally here as the Atlanta Falcons will do battle with the New England Patriots for the Super Bowl LI title. The Falcons offense have impressed throughout the whole season, but they've not faced a D quite like the Patriots yet here in the playoffs. Add the perfect combo of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick and I think New England will draw up offensive schemes to blow a hole in an Atlanta D that I rate way below the Patriots'. 

A small advantage on the offensive side of the ball for the Falcons, but a big defensive edge for the Pats. Defense wins championships as we saw with the Broncos last year, and I like New England to lift the trophy this time around. 

Top Rated 10* Blazers/Thunder *BEST BET*
Play: OKC Thunder
Rating: 10/10*

The Oklahoma City Thunder will host the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday afternoon, and I think this looks like a good spot for the home team. The Thunder snapped a three-game skid with a 114-102 win as a 1-point underdog against Memphis on Friday to improve to 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. They're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and should be able to handle a Trail Blazers team that is 8-18 SU on the road. The Thunder will be looking to revenge a 114-95 loss at Portland back in December, and they had covered the spread in four straight meetings prior to that contest. Lay the points on the home team.

The Los Angeles Clippers are coming off a 133-120 loss to Golden State. They've really struggled on the defensive end lately without injured Chris Paul, and the over is 5-0 in their last five overall. Here they'll take on a Celtics team that has seen the total number of points go over the posted number in 11 of its last 15 home at TD Garden, and the over 4-1 in the last five when hosting the Clippers. Look for this contest to go over the total.

The New York Rangers have lost five of their last six home at MSG, but I think they'll take care of business against the Calgary Flames here on Super Bowl Sunday. They'll face a Flames team that has won three on the bounce and is due for a let down game, while the Rangers themselves had lost back-to-back games in New York before winning 2-1 in OT at Buffalo on Thursday. They're coming into this game well rested and knowing that they've defeated Calgary in four straight meetings here at the Garden. Let's go with the Rangers.

Rating: 8/10*

The Phoenix Suns snapped a five-game skid with a 105-103 win at Sacramento last night. They're 5-2 ATS in their last seven games playing on no rest, and I like their chances of recording back-to-back victories with a win here against the reeling Bucks. 

Milwaukee has lost five straight and 10 of their past 11 games. They took a 121-117 beating at Denver last night and are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games playing on no rest. The Bucks are a terrible 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games overall and the favorite is 10-3 ATS in the last 13 meetings with the Suns. I like the Suns to build on the momentum from Friday's victory. 

Late Night NBA Grizzlies/Wolves
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

The Memphis Grizzlies have the third best scoring defense in the NBA, but the bookmakers have set the total way too low in their recent games with each of the Grizzlies last five going over the total. I think we get a good number again here on Saturday when they visit the Minnesota Timberwolves who have played four consecutive overs. Both teams played last night, Minnesota fell 116-108 at Detroit while Memphis lost 114-102 at Oklahoma City. I think both teams will struggle to bring the intensity needed on the defensive end of the court, and I think we'll see this game fly over the total. 

Top Rated 10* Pacers/Pistons *HOT PICK*
Play: Over
Rating: 10/10*

Both the Detroit Pistons and the Indiana Pacers were in action last night. Indiana picked up a 106-97 win at Brooklyn while Detroit defeated Minnesota 116-108 home at The Palace. I think we'll see a high-scoring contest here with both teams at the back-end of a back-to-back set. 

Over is 13-3 in the Pistons last 16 overall and 8-2 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. We can also note that the over is 5-1 in the Pistons games with a total greater than or equal to 210 points. The Over is 7-1 in the Pacers last eight vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 10-4 in the last 14 meetings with Detroit. 

There's always a risk of sloppy defending when playing on no rest, and that's what I think we'll see here. Take the over.

The over is 3-1 in the Arkansas Razorbacks' last four games, but under is 9-3 in their last 12 road games. Here they'll visit a Missouri Tigers team coming off an embarrassing 93-54 loss at Florida, and the under is 5-1 in the Tigers' last six games following a straight up loss of more than 20 points. I think we'll see this game go under the posted number.

Play: Over
Rating: 10/10*

The Dallas Mavericks rank dead last in the NBA for scoring this season, but they've played great ball of late averaging 107.5 ppg while winning five of the last six. The Portland Trail Blazers are averaging a healthy 109.2 pgg home at Moda Center on the season and 110.8 ppg on a five-game homestand they'll conclude tonight.

Portland is coming off a 115-98 win against Charlotte, and the over is 13-4 in Trail Blazers last 17 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Over is 3-1 for Portland in a home game where where the total is between 205 and 209.5 points this season, and I look for this one to fly over as well. 

NBA Grizzlies/Thunder
Play: Over
Rating: 8/10*

The Memphis Grizzlies have played four straight overs, all on the road. They're coming off a 119-99 win at Denver on Wednesday and the over is 4-1 in Grizzlies' last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Oklahoma City Thunder will be looking to bounce back from a 128-100 loss to Chicago, and the over is 4-0 in Thunder's last four games following a double-digit loss at home. Memphis has the third best scoring defense in the NBA, but the Grizzlies tend to open up on the road and the over is 17-8-1 in their games away from home this season.

The Minnesota Timbervolwes have played three consecutive overs, and they had scored 103 points or more in six straight games before a 125-97 loss to a fired up Cleveland team on Wednesday. Tonight they'll face a Detroit Pistons side that has played six straight overs. Over is 6-1 in Pistons last seven Friday games and 7-0 in their last seven home games. I think we'll see fireworks at The Palace tonight. 

Late Night CBB

Rating: 8/10*

The Gonzaga Bulldogs will visit Brigham Young Cougars Thursday night, and I think we'll see a blowout win for the visitors.

Gonzaga is a perfect 22-0 SU on the season and 7-1 ATS in its last eight road games. The Zags routed Pepperdine 96-49 on the road on Saturday and are 6-0 ATS in their last six games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game.

They'll face a BYU team that has won three of its last four, but failed to cover the 11-point spread in a 85-77 home win against LSU on Saturday. The Cougars are 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win and 0-5 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. I don't like their chances in this matchup.

Rating: 8/10*

The Chicago Blackhawks will be desperate to get back in the win column after dropping three straight games. Tonight they'll visit a Coyotes team they've won five straight against, and I like the price we get on the Hawks in this contest. Arizona had won three straight before a 3-2 loss to the Kings on Tuesday. They Yotes are 9-24 in their last 33 games playing on one days rest while the Blackhawks are 10-4 in their last 14 games playing on one days rest. We can also note that this is a good day of the week for Chicago who is 6-1 in its last seven Thursday night games. Go Blackhawks!

Top Rated 10* NBA Lakers/Wizards *BEST BET*
Play: Washington Wizards
Rating: 10/10*

No team is hotter in the NBA than the Washington Wizards as they've won 12 of their last 14 games, averaging 111 points during that span. They easily dismissed the Knicks 117-101 at home Tuesday to make it 15 straight wins at Verizon Center, and they're 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 

The LA Lakers are coming off a dramatic 120-116 home win against Denver on Tuesday, but they're just 2-6 in their last eight on the road and 4-7 ATS off a home win on the season. 

Washington is 15-6 ATS as a home favorite on the season, and I think the Wizards will take care of business here and win big.

Tonight they'll visit the Phoenix Suns who are allowing an average of 112.1 ppg this season and have a 32-16 over/under record. Over is 4-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings in Arizona, and I predict another high-scoring contest tonight.

Both the Washington Capitals and the Boston Bruins are on the second night of a back-to-back set. Boston is coming off three straight 4-3 wins, the most recent at Tampa Bay while the Caps will be hungry to bounce back from a 3-2 loss at the Islanders. The Bruins are 3-13 in their last 16 games playing on no rest and they've lost seven straight meetings with Washington. Look for the Caps to get the job done on home ice tonight. 

CBB *BANKROLL BUILDER*
Play: Florida State Seminoles
Rating: 8/10*

The Florida State Seminoles will be looking to find their way back into the win column after back-to-back defeats as favorites at Georgia Tech and Syracuse. They're on the road again Wednesday night, but at least back home in Florida and they're 6-2 ATS in their last eight games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. They'll take on a Miami-Florida Hurricanes team that is coming off back-to-back wins and upset North Carolina 77-62 as a 5.5-point dog their last time out. Let down spot here, and they're 0-4 ATS in their last four games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. The underdog is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings, and I'm taking the points on the Seminoles in this contest. 

NBA 3-Pack
Play: Boston Celtics
Rating: 8/10*

The Boston Celtics are playing well at the moment, and they head into this contest looking for their first five-game winning streak of the season. They're coming off a 113-109 home win against Detroit on Monday and are 8-2-2 ATS in their last 12 games playing on one days rest. They'll host a Toronto Raptors squad that won 108-106 in overtime against New Orleans last night, the Raptors mere second win in their last eight games.

Boston will be looking to revenge a 114-106 loss at Toronto on January 10, and I think the Celtics will come through with a big performance tonight. Home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings in the series and the Raptors are 4-10-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Boston. Lay the points on the home favorite.

They're coming off a 120-101 win against Houston on Sunday, and they're  6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games following a straight up win and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games playing on two days rest. The Pacers have already defeated the Magic twice this season (by an average of 16 points) and they're 9-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings in the series. Orlando has dropped 11 of its last 14 games. The Magic are just 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 home games and 2-11 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games. Lay the points on the Pacers.

Late Night NHL Blackhawks/Sharks
Play: Under
Rating: 8/10*

The Chicago Blackhawks headed into the All Star break on the back of a pair of losses, allowing five goals in each game. Under is 5-1-4 in the Blackhawks last 10 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game, and I think this will be low-scoring contest. Their netminder Corey Crawford has had good success in previous meetings with the Sharks, going 8-4-3 with a 2.18 GAA. The Sharks are allowing just 2.12 goals per game home at SAP Center and under is 17-5-6 in their last 28 home games.
