03-16-17	Thunder v. Raptors -2.5	Top	123-102	Loss	-105	8 h 17 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Thursday Night BEST BET Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors ended a two-game skid with a commanding 100-78 win over Dallas on Monday. They're 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 8-1 ATS in their last nine games playing on two days rest, so I believe the Raptors will come out strong in this matchup with Oklahoma City. The Thunder are due for a letdown game after recording solid wins over San Antonio, Utah and most recently a dominant 122-104 win at Brooklyn. Worth noting though that OKC is just 1-5 ATS in its last six road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 1-6 ATS in the last seve meetings with Toronto.
03-16-17	Princeton v. Notre Dame -6.5		58-60	Loss	-108	13 h 21 m	Show
Super Early CBB BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Notre Dame Fighting Irish Rating: 8/10* The Notre Dame Fighting Irish look like good value here against the Princeton Tigers Thursday afternoon. The Tigers are going for 20th consecutive victory, but note that they're 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Fighting Irish will be looking to bounce back after falling 75-69 to Duke in the ACC Tournament title game, and this is a much tougher opponent than any team Princeton has run into lately. I have no problem laying the points on the Irish in this early matchup Thursday afternoon.
03-15-17	Wolves v. Celtics UNDER 211	Top	104-117	Loss	-110	21 h 52 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Wednesday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Under Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves have played much improved defense lately and they had played six straight unders prior to a 119-104 win against Washington which flew over the total. On Wednesday they'll visit the Boston Celtics who have an 0-6-1 over/under record here in March, and the Celtics are coming off a solid defensive performance in Sunday's 100-80 victory against the Bulls. Under is 13-3-3 in Celtics last 19 overall and the first head-to-head meeting between the C's and the Wolves was a very low-scoring affair (99-93 Celtics win at Minnesota back in November).
03-14-17	CS Bakersfield +9.5 v. California		73-66	Win	100	11 h 38 m	Show
Late Night NIT NO BRAINER Rating: 8/10* The Cal. State Bakersfield Roadrunners have allowed just an average of 63.4 points per game this season, so it stands to reason that they've performed well against the spread when catching a lot of points. They're a perfect 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points and 6-0 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog overall. California is obviously always strong home at Haas Pavilion, but leading scorer Jabari Bird is listed as day-to-day with concussion symptoms for this contest. Let's take the points on CS Bakersfield here in the first round of the NIT tournament Tuesday night.
03-14-17	76ers v. Warriors UNDER 221.5	Top	104-106	Win	100	23 h 14 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Non-Conference GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Under Rating: 10/10* Four of the last five (and six of the last seven) meetings between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Golden State Warriors have gone under the total, and I predict another relatively low-scoring affair Tuesday night. The Warriors have averaged just 91 points per game during a three-game slide, and eight of their last nine games have gone under the total. Their offense has lost all rhythm since All-Star forward Kevin Durant went down with a knee injury, and here they'll take on a 76ers side which has played four straight unders when taking on a team with a winning record. It's also worth noting that the under is 18-8 in non-conference games this season.
03-14-17	Richmond v. Alabama -7		71-64	Loss	-110	16 h 60 m	Show
College Basketball HARDWOOD HAMMER Rating: 8/10* Both the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Richmond Spiders are coming off losses to higher seeds in their respective conference tournaments. The Crimson Tide are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss and I like them as a favorite here. Richmond is just 6-13-1 ATS in its last 20 games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points. With Bama back in Coleman Coliseum I expect a big victory for the home side.
03-13-17	Wizards v. Wolves -117	Top	104-119	Win	100	14 h 55 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Monday Night BEST BET Play: Minnesota Timberwolves Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards will be looking to close out a five-game road trip with a perfect record, but here they'll run into a Minnesota Timberwolves side that had covered the spread in eight straight games prior to a 102-95 loss at Milwaukee on Saturday. Note that the Timberwolves are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and 16-5 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record while the Wizards are 1-9-1 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Minnesota has covered the spread in five of the last six meetings at Target Center, and this looks like an excellent spot to back the Wolves as a small home favorite.
03-12-17	Blazers v. Suns +1.5		110-101	Loss	-105	10 h 48 m	Show
Subscribers Only Play: Phoenix Suns Rating: 5/10*
03-12-17	Cavs v. Rockets -5	Top	112-117	Push	0	19 h 32 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Sunday Night BEST BET Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers snapped a three-game skid with a 116-104 victory at Orlando on Saturday, but I think they'll struggle at Houston here the next day. The Cavs have rested their superstars the second halves of back-to-back sets lately, and that could be the case once again with both Kyrie Irving and Lebron James logging heavy minutes yesterday. Cleveland has dropped five of its last six in the second halves of back-to-back sets going also going 1-5 ATS during that span. The Rockets got back to their winning ways with a 115-94 win at Chicago on Friday following losses against San Antonio and Utah. Worth noting that the Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall and 10-4 ATS in their last 14 Sunday games. The Cavs won the first meeting of the season 128-120 home in Cleveland, but they're just 1-10 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Houston. This game has a big Rockets win written all over it.
03-12-17	Michigan v. Wisconsin -120	Top	71-56	Loss	-120	5 h 32 m	Show
Top Rated 10* BIG 10 CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BOOKIE BREAKER Play: Wisconsin Badgers Rating: 10/10* The Michigan Wolverines have impressed in the Big 10 tournament, but I think the Wisconsin Badgers will be too much to handle here in the final. The Badgers are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and they made it an easy effort in Saturday's 76-48 win against Northwestern. The Badgers have played exceptional defense lately, and they have the advantage of only playing two games here in the Big 10 tournament so far while Michigan will play its fourth game in as many days.
03-11-17	Marshall v. Middle Tennessee OVER 163	Top	72-83	Loss	-110	21 h 1 m	Show
Top Rated 10* C-USA Championship Game BEST BET Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Marshall Thundering Herd shot 54 percent from 3-point range in yesterday's 93-77 win against Louisiana Tech, and I like them to keep up with the Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders in the scoring protocol Saturday night. Note that the over is 11-3 in the Thundering Herd last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 19-7 in their last 26 Saturday games. Middle Tennessee St. cruised past Texas-El Paso in a 82-56 triumph on Friday, and the over is 10-1 in the Blue Raiders' last 11 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. Middle Tennessee St. won the last head-to-head meeting 97-86 on Feb. 18. Look for another high-scoring encounter tonight.
03-11-17	76ers +13 v. Clippers		100-112	Win	100	17 h 32 m	Show
Afternoon NBA 76ers/Clippers Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Philadelpha 76ers are catching plenty of points at LA Clippers Saturday afternoon, and my money is on the visitors in this matchup. Philadelphia may have lost six of its last seven games, but the 76ers are great value as underdogs at 7-0 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. The LA Clippers have won three of their last four games as they're coming off a 114-98 win at Memphis as an underdog. They're however 2-5 ATS in their last seven home games and the Clippers are way too inconsistent to back as this big of a favorite against a feisty 76ers side.
03-11-17	Michigan -3.5 v. Minnesota		84-77	Win	100	3 h 47 m	Show
Big 10 AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Michigan Rating: 8/10* The Michigan Wolverines knocked out No. 1 seed Purdue 74-70 in overtime in Friday's quarterfinal, and I think they'll take out the Minnesota Golden Gophers in the Big 10 semifinals Saturday afternoon. The Wolverines are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite. while the Golden Gophers are Golden Gophers are 0-5 ATS in their last five neutral site games as an underdog and 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Golden Gophers picked up a 83-78 overtime victory in Minneapolis on Feb. 19 in the last meeting, but Michigan has won nine of the last 10 meetings and the Wolverines are 5-2 ATS in the last seven.
03-10-17	Wizards v. Kings +8		130-122	Push	0	9 h 0 m	Show
NBA Subscribers Only Play: Sacramento Kings Rating: 8/10*
03-10-17	Rockets v. Bulls +4.5	Top	115-94	Loss	-110	22 h 27 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Rockets/Bulls BEST BET Play: Chicago Bulls Rating: 10/10* The Chicago Bulls need a win here after three straight defeats, and I like them to at least cover the spread as they're 6-0 ATS after three or more consecutive losses this season. The Bulls are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and they've covered the spread in five of the last six meetings with the Houston Rockets who are not playing great at the moment either coming off losses to San Antonio and Utah. The Rockets are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference teams, and with a more "sexy" matchup with the Cavs on deck on Sunday I would not be surprised to see Houston take it easy in this one. Take the points on the Bulls as a solid home dog.
03-10-17	TCU v. Iowa State -4	Top	63-84	Win	100	14 h 30 m	Show
Top Rated 10* BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR Play: Iowa State Rating: 10/10* The TCU Horned Frogs are coming off a 85-82 upset as an 8-point underdog against Kansas in Thursday's opening quarterfinal of the Big 12 Tournament. I think they'll find it extremely tough to orchestrate another upset here against Iowa State Cyclones who took down Oklahoma State 92-83 last night. Note that TCU is just 3-10 ATS in its last 13 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and that the team entered the tournament on a seven-game slide. The Cyclones meanwhile are a solid 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and they handed TCU a 84-71 defeat on Feb. 18. The favorite is 5-1 ATS in the last six head-to-head meetings and that's a trend I think will hold true tonight as well.
03-10-17	UL-Lafayette v. Georgia State -119		76-86	Win	100	8 h 6 m	Show
Subscribers Only Play: Georgia State Rating: 8/10*
03-10-17	Marshall +4 v. Louisiana Tech		93-77	Win	100	4 h 19 m	Show
Early CBB HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Marshall Rating: 8/10* I like Marshall Thundering Herd as as underdog against Louisiana Tech Bulldogs Friday night. Marshall's scoring is up there with the best, and the Thundering Herd lost by just four points in their visit to Ruston, Louisiana earlier this season. The Bulldogs are 1-5 ATS in their last six neutral site games and 1-4 ATS in their last five neutral site games as a favorite. Let's take the points on Marshall.
03-09-17	Lakers v. Suns -5.5	Top	122-110	Loss	-115	22 h 27 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA MIDNIGHT MADNESS Play: Phoenix Suns Rating: 10/10* The Los Angeles Lakers are in full tank mode and they're 0-7-1 ATS during an eight-game slide. The Phoenix Suns meanwhile had won three on the bounce prior to a 131-127 loss to the red hot Wizards on Tuesday. The Suns are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. The Lakers are 3-14-1 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and 3-12-1 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings in Phoenix.
03-09-17	Kansas State v. Baylor -4.5		70-64	Loss	-108	15 h 59 m	Show
CBB HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Baylor Bears Rating: 8/10* This looks like a good spot to back the Baylor Bears who are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Thursday games. The Kansas State Wildcats are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and I think they'll struggle to solve Baylor's defense here. The Wildcats meanwhile have allowed an average of 74 points over their last seven games.
03-09-17	Clippers v. Grizzlies -2.5		114-98	Loss	-108	12 h 49 m	Show
Thursday 3-Pack Play: Memphis Grizzlies Rating: 8/10* The Memphis Grizzlies need a win here after losses to Dallas, Houston and Brooklyn. They've had plenty of time to ponder Monday's embarrassing 122-109 loss to the Nets and I think they'll come up with a big performance tonight. The LA Clippers fell 107-91 at Minnesota last night and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games playing on no rest. Memphis owns the sixth seed in the Western Conference, two games behind the fifth-place Clippers. Big game for both teams, but I'm backing the home side.
03-09-17	Eastern Michigan v. Akron -4.5		62-79	Win	100	2 h 2 m	Show
CBB AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Akron Rating: 8/10* The Eastern Michigan Eagles are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Akron Zips are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. The Zips have not played great basketball down the stretch, but they've won nine of the last 10 meetings with Eastern Michigan, including a sweep this season. Let's go with the Zips to keep dominating the head-to-head series.
03-08-17	Celtics +8.5 v. Warriors		99-86	Win	100	14 h 35 m	Show
Late Night NBA Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors are not playing great basketball at the moment and they've covered the spread in just one of their last seven games. They've just returned home from a five-game road trip and are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games following a road trip of seven or more days. Tonight the Warriors will host a Boston Celtics team looking to get back in the win column after back-to-back losses at LA Clippers and Phoenix. They lost their last game 116-102 at Clippers but are still 13-6-2 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 5-1 ATS in their last six games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. The road team is 5-1-1 ATS in the last seven meetings head-to-head meetings and I'm taking the points on the visitors here.
03-08-17	Pistons v. Pacers -3.5	Top	98-115	Win	100	18 h 47 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA MIDWEEK MADNESS Play: Indiana Pacers Rating: 10/10* This looks like a great spot to back the Indiana Pacers as a small home favorite against the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night. The Pistons are 0-4 ATS in the last five meetings overall and due for a let down game after back-to-back wins and ATS covers against Philadelphia and Chicago. Note that the Pistons are just 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games following a straight up win and 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. The Pacers are back home from a five-game road swing and seeking to bounce back from a 100-88 loss at Charlotte on Monday. They're 4-0 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and I expect a motivated Pacers side to show up tonight.
03-08-17	Bulls v. Magic UNDER 203.5		91-98	Win	100	7 h 6 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Under Rating: 5/10* A lot of trends suggest that this game will go under the total. The most dominant ones are: Under is 13-3 in Bulls last 16 games playing on 1 days rest. Under is 11-4-1 in Bulls last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Under is 8-3 in Bulls last 11 vs. Eastern Conference. Under is 12-2 in Magic last 14 home games. Under is 7-2 in Magic last 9 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Under is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Let's go with the trends and put a small wager on the under.
03-08-17	Miami-FL v. Syracuse OVER 134		62-57	Loss	-110	7 h 36 m	Show
Super Early Miami-FL/Syracuse Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* I think we'll see a high-scoring contest here between the Miami-FL Hurricanes and the Syracuse Orange. Over is 6-1 in the Orange last seven neutral site games as an underdog and 5-2-1 in Hurricanes last eight neutral site games as a favorite. We can also note that the over is 12-3-1 in Orange last 16 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. This is the second round of the ACC Tournament, so there's no doubt both teams will be fired up. Expect plenty of foul shots to push the total over the posted number.
03-07-17	Wizards -3.5 v. Suns		131-127	Win	100	16 h 17 m	Show
Wizards/Suns BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 8/10* The Phoenix Suns are coming off three consecutive wins and defeated the Boston Celtics 109-106 on Sunday. I think they'll find it hard to come up with another upset when they host the Washington Wizards Tuesday night. The Wizards managed to eek out a one-point home victory over Orlando on Sunday as they came back from a 16-point deficit at halftime. This contest is the first of a five-game road swing against Western Conference foes, and with a tricky matchup at Denver tomorrow I expect the Wizards to really want to win this game. The Wizards are 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games and also 7-2 ATS in their last nine vs. teams from the West.
03-05-17	Minnesota v. Wisconsin OVER 134		49-66	Loss	-110	6 h 33 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 10-1 in the Minnesota Golden Gophers last 11 overall and 5-2 in the last seven meetings with Wisconsin. The over is 5-1 in the Badgers last six vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
03-05-17	Magic v. Wizards -10.5	Top	114-115	Loss	-110	17 h 28 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA SUNDAY BEST BET Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards will be looking to bounce back from a 114-106 home loss to Toronto when they host the Orlando Magic Sunday night. Keep in mind though, the Wizards had just defeated the Raptors on the road just two days earlier and were due for a let down game. Today they'll host an Orlando Magic side who won 124-116 here at Verizon Center back in December, and I expect the Wizards to be hungry for revenge. The Magic are coming off a 110-99 victory over Miami but are just 1-11 ATS after a division game this season and 4-10 ATS off an upset win as an underdog.
03-05-17	Warriors -9.5 v. Knicks		112-105	Loss	-115	9 h 30 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Golden State Warriors Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors are coming off back-to-back defeats, but I like them to get back in the winners circle here at Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon. They're 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings with the Knicks on the road and the Knicks are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall.
03-05-17	Pacers +3 v. Hawks		97-96	Win	100	12 h 36 m	Show
Super Early NBA Pacers/Hawks Play: Indiana Pacers Rating: 8/10* The Indiana Pacers are heading into Atlanta seeking revenge for a 96-85 home loss to the Hawks back in November. They're 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games and well rested since a 100-99 loss at San Antonio on Wednesday. The Pacers are 15-6-2 ATS in their last 23 games playing on three or more days rest. The Hawks are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall and 2-5 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Let's go with the Pacers for an early winner Sunday afternoon.
03-04-17	Wolves v. Spurs OVER 204.5	Top	90-97	Loss	-105	11 h 59 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 Saturday Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves will visit the San Antonio Spurs Saturday night, and I think the posted total looks a little light. The Spurs are coming off a 101-98 OT win at New Orleans last night, so we might see the home team lacking energy on defense ni this game, and we can also note that the over is 8-3 in the Spurs last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The Timberwolves have played improved defense lately while winning four of their last five games, but the over is 5-2 in the Wolves last seven road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Over is 7-2 in the last nine meetings in the series, and this should be another high-scoring encounter.
03-04-17	Pistons v. 76ers +5		136-106	Loss	-103	6 h 25 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Philadelphia 76ers have covered the spread in 13 straight games as a home dog and I think they've won 10 of those games outright. Tonight they'll be seeking revenge for a 113-96 defeat at Detroit on February 6 and they're 32-15 ATS when trying to revenge a loss vs. an opponent this season. The Detroit Pistons are just 10-20 SU and 11-19 ATS on the road this season. The home team is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings and this looks like an excellent spot to take the points on Philly.
03-04-17	Alabama v. Tennessee OVER 135.5		54-59	Loss	-108	3 h 4 m	Show
Saturday Afternoon CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 10-2 in the Alabama Crimson Tide's last 12 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points and here they'll visit the Tennessee Volunteers who are scoring 78.9 pgg on average home at Thompson-Boling Arena.
03-04-17	St Francis PA +4.5 v. Wagner		71-70	Win	100	2 h 36 m	Show
CBB Subscribers Only Play: St. Francis Rating: 8/10*
03-03-17	Missouri State v. Northern Iowa OVER 123.5		70-64	Win	100	16 h 29 m	Show
CBB Late Night Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Great spot to back the over here as the Northern Iowa Panthers will take on the Missouri St. Bears at Scottrade Center. Missouri State is coming off an 86-67 loss to Wichita State and the over is 6-2 in the Bears last eight games following a straight up loss. Northern Iowa lost 63-42 to Illinois St. its last time out and the over is 13-5 in the Panthers last 18 games after scoring fewer than 50 points in their previous game. We saw just a total of 107 points in a 55-52 UNI win on Feb. 12, but I think we'll see this game fly over the posted total.
03-03-17	Heat -3.5 v. Magic	Top	99-110	Loss	-110	18 h 41 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Miami Heat have won 17 of their last 20 contests, and one of the three losses was a 116-107 home loss to the Orlando Magic back last month. The Heat are 9-4 ATS when revenging a home loss this season and they're coming off a dominant 125-98 win over the 76ers (Heat are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points). The Orlando Magic meanwhile are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine overall and took a 101-90 beating by the Knicks on Wednesday.
03-02-17	Nebraska v. Minnesota OVER 139	Top	73-88	Win	100	18 h 10 m	Show
Top Rated 10* CBB TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Golden Gophers are averaging 80.3 ppg home at Williams Arena and the over is 9-0 in their last nine home games. Tonight they'll host the Nebraska Cornhuskers who will be looking to bounce back from a 73-57 loss to Illinois, and we can note that the over is 6-2 in the Cornhuskers last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. They Cornhuskers shot just 37.5% from the field overall in the defeat, and I think they'll put up a better offensive performance tonight.
03-01-17	Rockets +1.5 v. Clippers	Top	122-103	Win	100	24 h 22 m	Show
Top Rated 10* Rockets/Clippers BEST BET Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Houston Rockets will be looking to bounce back from a 117-108 loss to the Indiana Pacers when they travel to LA to face the Clippers Wednesday night. They're 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss and dominated the LA Clippers in a 24-point victory back in December. The Clippers just barely snapped a two-game slide with a 124-121 OT win over Charlotte on Monday and they've now conceded an average of 116 ppg through their last three games. Not a good time to take on the high-scoring Rockets, and I like the visitors in this matchup.
03-01-17	Nets v. Kings OVER 215		109-100	Loss	-110	12 h 39 m	Show
Late Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Sacramento Kings took a 102-88 beating by Minnesota on Monday. The over is 8-3 in their last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home and 5-0-1 in their last six vs. a team with a losing straight up record. The Brooklyn Nets should play with plenty of energy coming off three days of rest since a 112-95 loss at Golden State, their 16th consecutive defeat. The over is 4-0 in the Nets last four games playing on three or more days rest and 5-0 in the last five head-to-head meetings with Sacramento. Let's go with the over here.

02-28-17	Ball State v. Toledo OVER 153		82-74	Win	100	11 h 7 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 7-2 in the last nine head-to-head meetings between the Toledo Rockets and the Ball St. Cardinals. The last meeting back on January 31 saw a total of 161 points scored and we could easily see just as many tonight. The Cardinals are coming off a disappointing 80-55 setback at Western Michigan so they'll be pumped up to score some points here and we can note that the O/U is 6-2 in the Cardinals last eight games as a road underdog. The Rockets are coming off a 87-66 win against Central Michigan, but while the under is 5-1 in their last six games overall, note that six of their last seven vs. a team with a winning straight up record have gone over the total. The 18-11 Ball St. is averaging close to 79 ppg on the season, and the Caridnals should be able to score plenty of points here, as well as the home side.
02-28-17	St Bonaventure v. Davidson -155		63-68	Win	100	8 h 34 m	Show
CBB Play: Davidson Rating: 8/10* The Davidson Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5 points and 21-6 ATS in their last 27 Tuesday games. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 Tuesday games, and I think day of the week trends are well worth to take into consideration for college sports. We can also note that the Bonnies are coming off a win but are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games following a straight up win.
02-27-17	Heat -115 v. Mavs	Top	89-96	Loss	-115	23 h 36 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA MONDAY NIGHT MASSACRE Play: Miami Heat Rating: 10/10* The Miami Heat have won 16 of their last 18 games following an impressive 113-95 triumph over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. They're 11-1-1 ATS in their last 13 games playing on one days rest and 9-2 ATS following a straight up win of more than 10 points this season. Tonight they'll visit the Dallas Mavericks who snapped a three-game slide with a 96-83 win over the Pelicans on Saturday, but I think they'll come up short here. Miami has won the last three in the series, including a 99-95 home win on Jan. 19, and I like the Heat to stay hot Monday night.
02-26-17	Celtics v. Pistons UNDER 214.5		104-98	Win	100	10 h 15 m	Show
NBA Total Play: Under Rating: 8/10* 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.
02-26-17	Blazers v. Raptors -4.5	Top	106-112	Win	100	19 h 10 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors came out of the All Star break strong an they'll be looking to build on a 107-97 win against a quality Boston team when they host the Portland Trail Blazers Sunday night. They're 12-5 ATS following a win by 10 points or more on the season and they defeated the Blazers 95-91 at Portland back in December. The Blazers are coming off a 112-103 win at Orlando, but they're just 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games following a straight up win and 2-6 ATS in their last eight road games.

Top Rated 10* Saturday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a 97-84 victory over the Mavericks on Friday, but I think they'll struggle here when visiting the Houston Rockets the very next day. 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.

CBB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 9-1 in the Tigers' last 10 overall and they're scoring 87.3 ppg home at Auburn Arena. The over is 6-2 in the Razorbacks' last eight overall and 15-7 in their last 22 games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. Each of the last six head-to-head meetings have gone over the total.

CBB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Each of the Hawks' last six games have gone over the total and they've struggled on the defensive end during a seven-game slide. The over is 15-3 in the Billikens last 18 when hosting a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and 7-0 in their last seven games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5.

CBB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 8-2 in the Shockers last 10 road games and 5-1 in the Missouri St. Bears last six games as a home underdog. Wichita State is coming off a 109-83 win against Evansville and the team is averaging 82.3 ppg on the season. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings with Missouri St. at JQH Arena have gone over the total.
02-24-17	Jazz v. Bucks OVER 200.5		109-95	Win	100	9 h 26 m	Show
NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* Over is 6-2 in the Milwaukee Bucks' last eight home games and 5-1 in the Utah Jazz's last six road games. Milwaukee headed into the All Star break on the back of a 129-125 win at Brooklyn, and the over is 14-5 in the Bucks last 19 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. Each of the last four meetings have gone under the total, but I think we'll see fireworks here in their first game back since the All Star festivities.
02-24-17	Mavs +3.5 v. Wolves	Top	84-97	Loss	-110	19 h 32 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Mavs/Wolves BEST BET Play: Dallas Mavericks Rating: 10/10* The Dallas Mavericks have been money against the spread lately, covering in seven of their last 10 overall and going 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. Western Conference foes. 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.
02-24-17	Grizzlies -112 v. Pacers		92-102	Loss	-112	11 h 54 m	Show
NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Memphis Grizzlies Rating: 8/10* The Indiana Pacers stumbled into the All Star break losing each of their last six games. Tonight they'll host the Memphis Grizzlies for the first meeting of the season, and I like the visitors in this matchup. Memphis is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 head-to-head meetings and 5-1 ATS in their last six road games. The Pacers meanwhile are 1-4 ATS in their last five at home and just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.
02-24-17	Princeton v. Columbia +7.5		64-45	Loss	-102	6 h 24 m	Show
CBB DOG OF THE DAY Play: Columbia Rating: 8/10* The Columbia Lions look like a solid home dog here against the Princeton Tigers. The Lions are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5 points and 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a ATS loss, which they are coming off an 80-79 loss in OT at Dartmouth as a 4.5-point favorite. The Tigers have won 13 straight games outright but they're not doing all that great against the spread.
02-23-17	Clippers v. Warriors -12.5		113-123	Loss	-103	12 h 44 m	Show
NBA MIDNIGHT MADNESS Play: Golden State Warriors Rating: 8/10* The Golden State Warriors will host the LA Clippers home at Oracle Arena Thursday night, and I think we'll see an easy win for the home team. 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.
02-23-17	Rockets -3 v. Pelicans	Top	129-99	Win	100	19 h 58 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Houston Rockets Rating: 10/10* 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.
02-23-17	South Dakota v. Western Illinois OVER 146	Top	92-81	Win	100	9 h 47 m	Show
*Top Rated 10 CBB Total Play: Over Rating:** 10/10* The under is 7-3-1 in the last 11 head-to-head meetings between South Dakota and Western Illinois and the last meeting on Jan. 25 saw just a total of 117 points scored, but I think we'll see fireworks tonight. The Coyotes are averaging 76.9 ppg on the road while allowing 79.3 ppg, and the over is 5-0 in their last five road games. 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. Over is 7-2 in Leathernecks last nine games as a home underdog and 10-4 in their last 14 overall.
02-22-17	North Dakota State v. Oral Roberts OVER 147	Top	82-80	Win	100	12 h 12 m	Show
Top Rated 10* CBB TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The over is 14-3 in the North Dakota State Bison's last 17 overall and 7-1 in Oral Roberts Golden Eagles' last eight home games. Oral Roberts is averaging a healthy 79.9 ppg home at Mabee Center but also giving up 78.7 ppg. We saw a total of 152 points scored when the Bison defeated the Golden Eagles 81-71 home at North Dakota back in January, and I think we'll see a similar amount of points tonight which would push this game over the total.
02-21-17	Northern Illinois v. Central Michigan OVER 163.5		89-66	Loss	-110	9 h 2 m	Show
CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 9-2-1 in the Central Michigan Chippewas' last 12 home games and 8-1 in the Northern Illinois Huskies' last nine overall.

Top Rated 10* CBB TOTAL OF THE DAY Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The over is 18-5 in games involving the Ball State Cardinals this season and all of their last six games as a home favorite have gone over the total. Tonight they'll host an Eastern Michigan Eagles side that have dropped six in a row and they've allowed 81.6 ppg over their last five contests. Five of the last seven head-to-head meetings have gone over the total and the posted total looks pretty low to me.

Top Rated 10* Texas/WVU BIG 12 BANKROLL BUILDER Play: Texas Rating: 10* The Texas Longhorns held the West Virginia Mountaineers close in a 74-72 in the first meeting of the season Jan. 14 in Austin, and I think we'll see another close game tonight. The Longhorns are 8-1 ATS in the last nine head-to-head meetings and 4-1-1 ATS in their last six games as a road underdog of 13.0 points or greater. The Mountaineers meanwhile are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a favorite of 13.0 points or more.

Horizon League Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The Valparaiso Crusaders will visit the Detroit Mercy Titans Sunday afternoon, and I think we'll see a high-scoring contest. The over is 7-1 in the Titans last eight games as an underdog and 4-1 in the Crusaders last five games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Detroit is giving up 85.9 ppg on the season and six of the last eight meetings with Valparaiso home at Calihan Hall have gone over the total.
02-19-17	Maryland +7 v. Wisconsin	Top	60-71	Loss	-110	5 h 5 m	Show
Top Rated 10* CBB BEST BET Play: Maryland Rating: 10/10* The Maryland Terrapins are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog and 12-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games overall. On Sunday they'll visit a Wisconsin Badgers side that is 1-4 ATS in its last five games as a favorite and 0-4 ATS in its last four games overall. The Badgers have lost back-to-back games outright, and senior guard Bronson Koenig missed the last game due to a calf injury. He's expected to play tonight, but odds are he won't be fully fit. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five head-to-head meetings, and I'm happy to take the points in this contest.

CBB AFTERNOON APOCALYPSE Play: Iowa Hawkeyes Rating: 8/10* The Iowa Hawkeyes are 7-2-1 ATS in their last 10 home games and they'll host an Illinois Fighting Illini side that is 1-5 ATS in its last six road games. The Fighting Illini have dropped four of their last five contests while Iowa had won three on the bounce prior to losses at Minnesota and MSU, closing at 7-point dogs for both contests. 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.
02-18-17	Kansas +2 v. Baylor	Top	67-65	Win	100	10 h 3 m	Show
BIG 12 GAME OF THE MONTH Play: Kansas Rating: 10/10* The third ranked Kansas Jayhawks will visit the fourth ranked Baylor Bears in a Big 12 clash Saturday afternoon, and I like the visitors in this matchup. The Jayhawks have won nine straight head-to-head meetings and they're coming off a confidence boosting 84-80 overtime win over West Virginia as they managed to erase a 14-point deficit with three minutes to go of the fourth quarter. The Bears meanwhile have dropped three of their last five games, and they're just 1-5 ATS in their last six home games.

The road team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven head-to-head meetings and Fairfield will be seeking revenge for a 73-71 home loss earlier this month. Let's go with the Stags.

CBB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 16-5 in the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles' last 21 overall and 13-3 in the Nebraska Omaha Mavericks' last 16 home games. Over is 13-6 in the Golden Eagles last 19 games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5 points and 6-1 in the Mavericks last seven games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. The Mavericks are averaging 88.9 points per game home at Baxter Arena on the season, but also conceding 87.4 ppg. Four of the last five head-to-head meetings have gone over the total, and we saw a total of 189 points scored when Oral Roberts won the last meeting 103-86 at home back in January.

CBB Totals 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 4-0 in the Wright State Raiders' last four overall and 5-2 in the Youngstown State Penguins' last seven overall. The Penguins are just 1-8 ATS in their last nine home games, and a big reason is because they're conceding 86.0 ppg home at Beeghly Physical Education Center. Six of the last eight head-to-head meetings have gone over the total, and this should be another high-scoring encounter.
02-16-17	Wizards -130 v. Pacers	Top	111-98	Win	100	12 h 57 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA Wizards/Pacers BEST BET Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 10/10* The Washington Wizards will head into the All Star break as one of the hottest teams in the NBA, as they come into this contest looking for their 18th win in 21 games. They'll visit an Indiana Pacers team that took a 113-104 beating by the Cavaliers on Wednesday, and I think they'll struggle to keep up with the Wizards tonight. The Pacers are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 games playing on no rest and the Wizards are 7-0 ATS in the last seven meetings at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. Let's go with the Wizards to work their magic and run away with the W.
02-15-17	Hawks v. Clippers OVER 213		84-99	Loss	-107	10 h 12 m	Show
Late Night NBA Total Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 7-2 in the Atlanta Hawks last nine road games vs. a team with a winning home record and 10-3 in the Clippers last 13 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. With the Clippers coming off a low-scoring 88-72 win at Utah and the over 10-2 in their last 12 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points I think we can expect another high-scoring encounter, particularly as LA won the first meeting of the season 115-105 at Atlanta back in January.
02-15-17	Lakers v. Suns -4		101-137	Win	100	9 h 9 m	Show
NBA Subscribers Only Play: Phoenix Suns Rating: 8/10* This looks like a tough spot for the Los Angeles Lakers who suffered a 97-96 setback against the Kings last night. The Suns have covered the spread in nine of the last 11 meetings home at Talking Stick Resort Arena and my money is on the home side in this contest.
02-15-17	St. John's v. Butler OVER 151.5		86-110	Win	100	12 h 3 m	Show
CBB Total 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 7-0 in the St. John's Red Storm last seven games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5 points and 8-3-1 in the Butler Bulldogs last 12 games as a favorite. St. John's averages a healthy 80.6 ppg on the road but they also allow 81.1 ppg. The Bulldogs should come out strong looking to revenge a three-point loss to the Red Storm in late December, and I think they'll drive up the tempo making this a high-scoring contest.
02-15-17	Hornets v. Raptors -6	Top	85-90	Loss	-110	14 h 18 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 10/10* The Toronto Raptors took a beating at Chicago last night, but keep mind that they're 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games playing on no rest. I think they looked past the Bulls only to bring their very best against the Hornets tonight, seeking revenge for a 113-78 loss at Charlotte on Jan. 20. 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.
02-15-17	Iowa State v. Kansas State OVER 142		87-79	Win	100	10 h 27 m	Show
CBB Total 3-Pack Play: Over Rating: 8/10* The over is 5-1 in the Iowa State Cyclones last six road games and 5-0 in the Kansas State Wildcats last five games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. Four straight head-to-head meetings have gone under the total, but we should see points here with Iowa State averaging 78.4 ppg on the road this season while conceding 80.0 ppg.

Wayne Mastodons' last 22 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. IUPU is a solid 12-2 straight up while averaging 91.1 ppg home at Hilliard Gates Sports Center on the season and four straight head-to-head meetings in the series have gone over the total.

Top Rated 10* NBA BASKET BRAWLER Play: Cleveland Cavaliers Rating: 10/10* The Cleveland Cavaliers will visit the Minnesota Timberwolves Tuesday night, and my money is on the visitors in this matchup. The Cavs defeated the Wolves 125-97 home at Cleveland back on Feb. 1, and they're 8-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings at Target Center. Minnesota has won two of its last three games and the Wolves are coming off a 117-89 rout of the Bulls, but keep in mind that they're 0-7 ATS in their last seven games following a straight up win. The Cavs are playing great basketball at the moment and should have no trouble to take care of business tonight.

Top Rated 10* Monday Night NBA BEST BET Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 10/10* The Boston Celtics are a perfect 7-0 ATS as a road favorite of three points or fewer on the season. They're playing excellent basketball in recent weeks, winning nine of their last 10 games and picked up a 112-104 win at Utah their last time out. The Dallas Mavericks have also picked up plenty of wins lately, but they're just 5-11 ATS in their last 16 home games vs. a team with a winning road record and the Celtics are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Dallas.
02-13-17	Thunder v. Wizards -5		98-120	Win	100	13 h 48 m	Show
NBA 3-Pack Play: Washington Wizards Rating: 8/10* The Washington Wizards are 8-2 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5-6.0 points on the season, and tonight they'll be looking to revenge a 126-115 OT loss at Oklahoma City earlier in the season. The Thunder took a 130-114 beating by the Warriors on Saturday and they're just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. The Thunder are 4-9 ATS in the last 13 meetings at Verizon Center and this looks like a good spot to back the home team.

NBA 3-Pack Play: Philadelphia 76ers Rating: 8/10* The Philadelphia 76ers have been great against the spread lately, and here they'll face a Charlotte Hornets side that is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games overall. The 76ers snapped a six-game losing streak in the series with a 102-93 home win over Charlotte on Jan. 13, and I would not be surprised to see them threaten to win this contest outright as well.

CBB Total Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The over is 4-1 in the Louisville Cardinals' last five overall and 6-1 in their last seven games as a favorite. The over is s 7-0-1 in the Syracuse Orange's last eight overall and 12-3-1 in their last 16 games as an underdog. I'm confident we'll see this ACC matchup go over the total Monday night.

Top Rated 10* NBA LATE NIGHT TOTAL Play: Over Rating: 10/10* The New Orleans Pelicans are coming off a 122-106 win at Minnesota. Over is 6-1 in Pelicans last seven after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 21-7 in their last 28 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. The Sacramento Kings are also off a win as they defeated Atlanta 108-107 their last time out. Over is 7-0 in Kings last seven games following a straight up win and 13-6 in the last 19 meetings with the Pels. Look for a high-scoring contest Sunday night.

NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Toronto Raptors Rating: 8/10* The Toronto Raptors have played far from their best basketball lately, but I think they'll come out strong following three days off since a 112-109 setback at Minnesota on Wednesday. The Raptors are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games playing on three or more days rest, and tonight they'll host the Detroit Pistons who are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Toronto won the most recent matchup 109-91 back in October, and I think they'll take care of business again tonight.
02-11-17	Celtics +5 v. Jazz	Top	112-104	Win	100	25 h 45 m	Show
Top Rated 10* NBA LATE SHOW Play: Boston Celtics Rating: 10/10* The Boston Celtics are coming off a 120-11 win at Portland, despite closing as a 3-point dog. They're getting even more points here at Utah Saturday night, and I like the Celtics big time in this matchup. Boston is 10-3-2 ATS in its last 15 road games vs. a team with a winning home record while the Jazz are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. We can also note that Utah fell 112-105 in OT at Dallas on Thursday and the Jazz are just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. The Celtics are 8-2-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings and I think they'll threaten to win this outright, but take the points as an insurance.
02-11-17	Gonzaga -4 v. St. Mary's		74-64	Win	100	13 h 59 m	Show
CBB HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: Gonzaga Rating: 8/10* The Gonzaga Bulldogs are a perfect 25-0 SU on the season and 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite of 0.5-6.5 points. On Saturday they'll visit the St. Mary's Gaels who are 22-2 SU on the season, but only 1-4 ATS in their last five games as an underdog of 0.5-6.5 points. The Bulldogs are 10-1 against the spread in their last 11 meetings with the Gaels, and I predict a double-digit blowout in this contest.

Top Rated 10* NBA West GAME OF THE WEEK Play: Golden State Warriors Rating: 10/10* 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.
02-10-17	Nuggets +2.5 v. Knicks		131-123	Win	100	10 h 53 m	Show
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.

NBA HARDWOOD HAMMER Play: OKC Thunder 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.
02-09-17	Rockets -3.5 v. Hornets	Top	107-95	Win	100	20 h 50 m	Show
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.
02-08-17	Raptors -150 v. Wolves		109-112	Loss	-150	18 h 59 m	Show
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.
