CELTICS @ THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Boston Celtics will be playing on short rest coming off a high-scoring win against Milwaukee on Friday. I expect way fewer points here against a Thunder team that has struggled to score lately. Under is 4-1 in Celtics last 5 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City.

8* play on UNDER. 

OREGON STATE VS LOYOLA-CHICAGO SWEET 16 BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Oregon State Beavers are having a Cinderella season, first winning the Pac-12 tournament title and now reaching the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tourney. They have won six of their last seven outright and covered the spread in nine of their last 10 games. The Loyola-Chicago Ramblers are coming off an upset win at No. 1 seed Illinois, which indeed is impressive, but can they handle being a favorite in this matchup? The Ramblers are the better team, but covering this number won't be easy against a Beavers team that ain't scared of nobody and really embraces the role as underdogs.

8* play on Oregon State. 

TOP-RATED 10* TGIF NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Golden State Warriors will be playing on short rest after taking a 141-119 loss at Sacramento on Thursday. Under is 7-0 in Warriors last 7 games playing on 0 days rest and 6-2 in Warriors last 8 games as a home underdog. 

The Atlanta Hawks have held three of their last six opponents to 94 points or fewer. 

Four of the last five meetings in this series have gone under the total.

10* play on UNDER. 

3-PACK - HEAT @ HORNETS TOTAL

Goot spot to back the under in this one as Miami should be looking to slow down the tempo, playing on short rest following a 125-122 loss to Portland on Thursday. Under is 6-0 in Heat last 6 road games and 4-0 in Hornets last 4 home games.

The Charlotte Hornets have held each of their last two opponents (San Antonio and Houston) to 97 points each. Under is 4-0 in Hornets last 4 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

8* play on UNDER. 

ROCKETS @ WOLVES 8* NBA BOOKIE BOMBER

The Houston Rockets have won just one of their last 22 games, but I think they're undervalued here against Minnesota Timberwolves that have an abysmal 10-34 record on the season. The Wolves are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 games as a home favorite, and this game should be closer to a pick'em than either team being a favorite IMO. 

8* play on Houston Rockets. 

GAME OF THE YEAR ALERT | INTERCONFERENCE TOTAL *BEST BET*

The under is 28-16 in LA Lakers games on the season, and now they'll be without their two best players with both LeBron James and Anthony Davis sidelined.

In their last game, the Lakers took a 128-111 beating at New Orleans, but note that under is 8-2 in Lakers last 10 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game and 5-1 in Lakers last 6 games following a straight-up loss of more than 10 points.

They'll face a Philadelphia team that held Golden State to 98 points last time out, and four of the Sixers' last five games overall have gone under the total. 

Under is 6-2 in 76ers last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 5-0 in 76ers last 5 games as a road favorite.

10* play on UNDER. 

NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

Love to back the Atlanta Hawks in this spot as they look to get back on track after seeing a five-game winning streak come to an end at LA Clippers last time out. They'll face a Sacramento team that has won three of its last four, but we might see the Kings let the guard down here in the last game of a seven-game road trip. 

Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite. Kings are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. Kings are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a home underdog.

8* play on Atlanta Hawks. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Cleveland Cavaliers an averaging a league-worst 104.1 points per game overall that drops to an abysmal 98.7 ppg on the road. Under is 7-1 in Cavaliers last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record, which the Bulls have as they're only 9-15 home at United Center. 

Over their last four games, the Bulls have been held to 100 points or fewer three times, the exception an overtime loss at Denver. Under is 6-1 in Bulls last 7 overall. Under is 7-2 in Bulls last 9 games as a home favorite.

Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Chicago.

10* play on UNDER. 

GAME OF THE MONTH ALERT | NBA EASTERN CONF *BEST BET*

The Washington Wizards are scoring and allowing fewer points on the road compared to at home. Here they'll face a Knicks team that is holding opponents to a league-best 104.8 points per game, but the Knickerbockers are also only putting up 104.7 ppg (28th). 

Under is 10-4 in Wizards last 14 games as a road underdog. Under is 7-2 in Knicks last 9 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings.

10* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* HORNETS @ SPURS NBA PLAY OF THE DAY

The Charlotte Hornets have dropped three in a row. They took a 125-98 loss at LA Clippers last time out and had scored only 104 and 105 points in the two previous losses. Now they have to be without LaMelo Ball, front-runner for NBA Rookie of the Year, who is expected to miss the rest of the season with a fractured wrist. The San Antonio Spurs can step it up on the defensive end when needed and rank eighth in the NBA for points allowed per game. Under is 9-1 in Spurs last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings in San Antonio.

10* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* COLORADO VS FSU CBB PLAY OF THE DAY

The No.4 Florida State Seminoles are coming off a 64-54 win over North Carolina Greensboro, but the game was closer than the final score would suggest. The No.5 Colorado Buffaloes on the other hand dominated Georgetown from start to finish last time out, winning by 23 points in the end. Still, I like FSU in this matchup. Both teams have had a day to rest and recover since their last game, and I think FSU's depth and shooting from behind the arc give them a solid edge in this matchup. 

10* play on Florida State. 

LSU VS MICHIGAN 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The No. 8 LSU Tigers look like a live dog versus No. 1 Michigan on Monday. The Wolverines could sleepwalk through an 82-66 win over Texas Southern on Saturday, and I don't think they're ready for the intensity LSU will bring. The Tigers held St. Bonaventure to 61 points on 33% shooting from the field (3-for-20, 15% from 3-point range) in their tournament opener. They've covered the spread in five straight games, winning three of those outright as underdogs, and lost by just a point to Bama in the SEC tournament final.

8* play on LSU Tigers. 

BULLS @ PISTONS 8* NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The Chicago Bulls had seen four straight games go under the total prior to a 131-127 OT loss at Denver in their last game. They rank #4 in the league defending the three and Detroit is one of the worst teams in the league at shooting from behind the arc. Under is 7-2 in Bulls last 9 games as a favorite. Under is 4-0 in Pistons last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

8* play on UNDER. 

CBB GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | CUSE VS WEST VIRGINIA

The No. 11 Syracuse Orange are coming off a 78-62 win against San Diego State, but the victory also cost a lot of energy. The No. 3 West Virginia Mountaineers meanwhile cruised to an 85-67 win over 14th-seeded Morehead State in their tournament opener. While the Orange have upset quite a few teams lately, I think West Virginia's depth on offense will be able to do good damage on Cuse's 2-3 zone defense. 

10* play on West Virginia. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Orlando Magic managed to end a nine-game slide with a 121-113 win over Brooklyn last time out. it was a rare high-scoring performance from an Orlando team that had put up 77, 97 and 93 points in its past three games prior to that outing and the Magic are averaging only 104.7 points per game on the season (29th). The Boston Celtics have slso struggled lately, winning only one of five games since the All-Star break and they took a 107-96 home loss to Sacramento last time out.

10* play on UNDER. 

MIZZOU VS OKLAHOMA 8* NCAAB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Oklahoma Sooners dropped five of their last six games and they've failed to cover the spread in seven straight games. That's also a reason why they're undervalued for this matchup with the Missouri Tigers. Mizzou was hardly solid down the stretch either and the Tigers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

OK, the Sooners will have to do without second-leading scorer De'Vion Harmon (positive COVID-19 test), but I think the rest of the team will step it up and the books have overadjusted the line.

8* play on Oklahoma. 

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

Under is 6-1 in Hawks last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and I fully expect a low-scoring contest when they visit the best team ine NBA on Saturday. The Lakers are 26-15 to the under on the season and they've been a particularly good bet to the under lately with Anthony Davis.  

10* play on UNDER.

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The Indiana Pacers are 23-15-1 to the over on the season, but I expect a relatively low-scoring affair when they visit the Miami Heat Friday night. The under is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings and note that over its last eight games, Miami has held seven of its opponents to fewer than 100 points and not allowed more than 103 points. 

10* play on UNDER. 

TOP-RATED 10* WISCONSIN VS UNC CBB PLAY OF THE DAY

The Wisconsin Badgers are stumbling into the NCAA tournament, having won only one of their last five games and two of their last eight. Sure, they've played a tough schedule but were the underdogs in only three of those games. Here they'll face a North Carolina team that had won three on bounce prior to a 69-66 loss to FSU in the ACC tournament semifinal round, but note that the Tar Heels had defeated that same FSU team by eight points two weeks earlier. 

Badgers are 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Tar Heels are 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back the hotter Tar Heels in this matchup. 

10* play on North Carolina. 

FRIDAY AFTERNOON 8* CBB BOOKIE BU$TER

The Oregon State Beavers claimed the Pac-12 tournament title after defeating UCLA, top-seeded Oregon and finally Colorado in the final. The Beavers are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog.

Tennessee is the better team of those two, but it is an unpredictable side and was knocked out of the semi-final of the Southeastern Conference tournament where it lost to Alabama. The Vols were without injured John Fulkerson, and his availability for this contest is uncertain. 

While yet another upset from Oregon State is a big ask, I do like the Beavers to keep it within the number. 

8* play on Oregon State. 

TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL PLAY OF THE DAY

The New York Knicks are 24-17 to the under on the season overall and 16-7 to under in games with a total of 215 or lower. They own the #1 scoring defense in the league and held a dangerous Sixers team to 99 points last time out. The Orlando Magic are unraveling and not playing good basketball right now, coming off eight straight defeats and in their last two games they've put up only 77 and 97 points respectively. 

Under is 10-4-1 in Magic last 15 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

10* play on UNDER. 

LATE NIGHT HORNETS @ NUGGETS BOOKIE BU$TER | 9:05 PM

The Denver Nuggets are 24-15 to the over on the season and 7-3 to the over in games with a total closing at 230+ points. They're coming off a 121-106 win over Indiana, and here they'll face a Charlotte team that has won four on the bounce while averaging 119 points per game. 

Over is 14-3 in Hornets last 17 games as a road underdog. Over is 25-12-2 in Nuggets last 39 home games. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

8* play on OVER. 

SPURS @ BULLS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

The Chicago Bulls will be playing on short rest following a 123-102 win over Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Note that while the Spurs have had an extra day of rest, they'll be without leading scorer DeMar DeRozan for a fourth straight game. Bulls are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite. Spurs are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Chicago.

8* play on Chicago Bulls. 

GAME OF THE WEEK ALERT | TOP-RATED 10* NBA TOTAL

This might very well close as the highest total of the NBA season up to date, but I still don't think the bookmakers can make it a big enough number to lay off. Of 15 games closing with a total of 240 points or more this season, the over is 12-2-1. Neither team can play defense, and the Wizards have the highest pace factor in the league at 106.6 possessions per game.

10* play on OVER. 

KNICKS @ SIXERS 8* NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BU$TER

The New York Knicks will be playing on short rest after taking a 117-112 loss at Brooklyn last night. Extremely tough spot to take on a Philadelphia 76ers team that is on a roll at the moment, riding a five-game winning streak and winning all three since the All-Star break by 22 points or more. The Knicks will be doing everything in their power to slow down the tempo here and hope to steal the game late. 

Under is 5-2 in Knicks last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Under is 11-4 in Knicks last 15 games as a road underdog. Under is 9-2 in 76ers last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

8* play on UNDER. 

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

The Utah Jazz fell at Golden State on Sunday, and I think they're in for another tough matchup when the visit Boston Tuesday night. The Celtics have been dominant home at TD Garden lately. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and 19-7 ATS in their last 26 games as a home underdog. I would not be surprised if they steal this one outright. 

The Jazz are only 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a road favorite and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Utah was playing well above its abilites for a while but harder times might be imminent. Back Boston. 

10* play on Boston Celtics. 

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

The Los Angeles Lakers have struggled without injured Anthony Davis (calf) in the lineup and they'll also be without Marc Gasol for this one, but I think the bookmakers have overadjusted the line for Monday's matchup with Golden State. 

The Warriors will be playing on short rest and they're in a potential letdown spot after defeating the Jazz by 12 points as a 7.5-point underdog on Sunday. Note that Golden State had failed to cover the spread in four straight games prior to that outing, and it is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games as an underdog.

Love backing the Lakers as a short road favorite in this one.

10* play on Los Angeles Lakers. 

SPURS @ PISTONS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Detroit Pistons have scored 104, 102 and 95 points over their last three games. Under is 8-3 in Pistons last 11 overall. Tonight they'll host a Spurs team that had has been solid on the defensive end, bar a breakdown in Sunday's 134-99 loss to Philadelphia. Well, Detroit does not pose the same offensive threat as the Sixers, and we can note that the under is 6-0 in Spurs last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

8* play on UNDER. 

RAPTORS @ BULLS 8* NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER

Very tough spot for the Toronto Raptors who will be playing on short rest after taking a loss to Charlotte on Saturday. Additionally, they'll be shorthanded with  Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn and Patrick McCaw all set to miss the game due to the league's health and safety protocols. The Bulls have had a days rest since their last game. They are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games playing on 1 days rest.

8* play on Chicago Bulls. 

CAVS @ HAWKS 8* NBA BOOKIE BU$TER

The Cleveland Cavaliers have played one game since the All-Star break, a humiliating 116-82 loss at New Orleans. They had covered the spread in five straight games prior to that outing, and I think we'll see a reaction from the Cavs who should be pumped up for this one. They're catching Atlanta in a tough spot as the Hawks will be playing on no rest coming off a win over Sacramento on Saturday. 

Hawks are 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 0 days rest.  Cavaliers are 6-0 ATS in the last 6 meetings.

8* play on Cleveland Cavaliers. 

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.

10* play on St. Bonaventure.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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* 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. 

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. 

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. 

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* 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* 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. 

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. 

8* play on UNDER. 

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.

10* play on Oklahoma. 

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. 

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.

8* play on UNDER. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

8* play on OVER. 

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.

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. 

*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. 

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.

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.

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

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.
