The Knicks and Pistons square off in a showdown of two of the top teams in the East. New York typically comes out the aggressor when playing good teams and this game should be no different. The Knicks have one of the best offenses in the East at 118 ppg and they put up 138 on a good 76ers team right before the break. This will be a statement game for them as they’ll want to make it known they’re still the team to beat in the East. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Thursday's FREE selection is a strong lean on the KNICKS ATS. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

ASA
ASA NBA play on Chicago Bulls +5.5 vs. Toronto Raptors, 8pm ET - The value in the number is too great to ignore so we’ll grab the Bulls at home plus the points. These two teams met shortly before the All-Star break on February 5th with the Raptors favored by -7.5-points at home. Now they are laying nearly that same number on the road. Chicago has been solid at home with a 15-12 SU record overall, 8-5 ATS as a home dog. On the season the Bulls have an average point differential at home of minus -1.5ppg which clearly gets us a cover here. The Raptors boast a 16-10 SU, 15-11 ATS road record this season with an average MOV of +2.0ppg. When favored on the road the Raptors are just 5-6 ATS this season. Both teams have been very good in conference play since the start of the 2024 season with both teams hovering around 53%. The Bulls were active at the trade deadline, so they have several new faces on the roster. With the added time off and practice time they should be better prepared moving forward. Chicago had won and covered 4 of the last five meetings prior to the most recent game in Toronto. We expect the Bulls to stay with in the number in this one.

Doc's Sports
Free Play from Doc’s Sports in MLS. Take LA Galaxy over NYCFC (7 p.m. EST, Sunday, February 22) Last year the Galaxy were fresh of their MLS Cup win and expectations were high, but they got off to a historically bad start, winless in their first 16 games, and the season was over before it started. A lot of this had to do with injuries, especially to Ricard Puig, the Galaxy’s best player. He was really central to a lot of what the Galaxy wanted to do, and his absence created lots of problems for the side. Puig had offseason surgery, and is out again for the season, but the Galaxy have solidified the team in his absence. Young players got a lot of experience last season when they might have not otherwise had the opportunity, and they made some nice signings in the offseason. Last season is a thing of the past, and this team is back to where it wants to be as a Cup contender and a very likely playoff side at the very least. They are underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, and we will take advantage of the value here with this plus-money line. The Galaxy have won the last two meetings at home vs NYCFC, and we see this one as a low scoring match but we think the Galaxy will find a way to win. There hasn’t been a draw in seven meetings and we don’t envision one here. After last season, we think there will be an emphasis on a strong start, and home pitch will propel the Galaxy to three points.

1* Free Pick on Portland State -175
Portland State is a completely different beast when they play at the Viking Pavilion. They already proved they are the superior squad by taking down Idaho on the road back on January 24. Now they get the Vandals on their own floor where they play with significantly more defensive intensity.
Idaho is walking into a trap after a massive 99-69 blowout win over Idaho State last Saturday. That performance was a total outlier for a team that usually struggles with consistency. Expect a major offensive regression tonight as they face a much tougher Portland State unit.
The Vikings are 17-7 on the season and have dominated this head-to-head series lately. They have won eight of the last ten meetings against Idaho. Portland State knows exactly how to pressure the Vandal guards and disrupt their offensive flow.
Idaho has been poor on the road recently with tough losses at Montana and Montana State. Their shooting efficiency drops off a cliff when they leave Moscow. Portland State will use their physical frontcourt to control the glass and limit second-chance points.
Keyon Kensie Jr. is coming off a monster 16-rebound game and provides a massive edge in the paint. Terri Miller Jr. is also in a groove after dropping 22 points in his last outing. The Vikings have too many scoring options for an Idaho defense that allows nearly 74 points per game.
The Vikings are the more disciplined team and rarely beat themselves with unforced turnovers. Take the more reliable team playing at home in a clear revenge spot for the Vandals that won't materialize. Trust the history and the current form of the home favorite.
Bet Portland State ML (-175).

The NBA Comp play for Thursday at 10 eastern is on Boston. The Celtics are in a nice and Simple system here tonight that is 5-0 for road favorites with more than 6 days rest if off a home win and are taking on a non conference team like Golden St. The Celtics pasted the Warriors by 40 the last time they were here and have quietly won 7 of 8 prior to the break. The Warriors have dropped 5 of the last 7 and tend to struggle vs good teams, even at home where they have failed to cover 9 of the last 12. Look for the Celtics to cover. GL Rob V-

This is a play on the EASTERN ILLINOIS PANTHERS for our Thursday Free Play. This line looks way too short for Morehead St. to be laying and it is telling so we go contrarian because of it. The Eagles have won three straight games to improve to 11-5 in the Ohio Valley Conference which has them a half-game out of first place but they are still sixth in the conference in NET Ranking as they have some fortunate wins. Eight of those wins have been by one or two possessions and while they are 3-0 in Quad 4 conference road games, those were by 11 combined points including one in overtime. Eastern Illinois is coming off a win over Little Rock and the Panthers have been playing well as they have gone 6-6 in their last 12 conference games. Eastern Illinois opened 4-0 at home in the conference prior to a pair of losses before the recent win. Eastern Illinois is 3-0 ATS at home this season when the line is between +3 and -3.

Brandon Lee
Thursday's NBA Free Pick
PLAY ON: Bulls +5.5
Sean Murphy
Thursday CBB Free play. My selection is on Memphis plus the points over South Florida at 7 pm et on Thursday.
I don't think there's as much separating these two teams as their overall records (or the pointspread) indicates on Thursday. Memphis has been a disappointment so far this season and certainly owns the inferior overall record in this matchup. With that being said, the Tigers have faced a very difficult schedule - more difficult than that of South Florida. Memphis has had four full days to stew over its second straight loss - a blowout defeat on the road against a good Utah State team on Saturday. I'm confident we'll see the Tigers bounce back with a better performance here. South Florida on the other hand has had a few days to pat itself on the back after notching its fourth straight win, that coming in overtime against Florida Atlantic on Sunday. The Bulls haven't exactly been shooting the lights out, connecting on 25 or fewer field goals in three of their last five contests. I look for the Tigers to at the very least take this one down to the wire. Take Memphis.
Mike Lundin
Celtics vs Warriors NBA Free Pick
The Angle(s): Golden State expects to see Kristaps Porzingis suit up as a Warrior for the first time tonight. While I think Porzingis will be a great fit, with two-time MVP Stephen Curry out I don't think the Warriors got what it takes to keep up with a Celtics team 6-3 against the spread as road favorites laying five points or more.
Add the Warriors 1-3 record against the spread as home underdogs, and I think we have a solid case for the Celtics.
The Bet: CELTICS
