The Aggies finished 6-6 in the conference and those 12 games were the fewest played of all Big West teams as they had two long stretches of games being postponed.

The Warriors are now in third place in the Western Conference, nine games behind Phoenix for first place but is still just one game behind Memphis for second place. The defense remains the strength and will be facing a poor offense tonight. The Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games following a road trip of seven or more days.

They are on the road again where they have won three straight but two of those came against Houston, the worst team in the Western Conference, and the other came against the struggling Lakers. Los Angeles is ranked No. 25 in scoring offense and No. 21 in shooting and it is certainly catching the Warriors at the wrong place at the wrong time.

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Lakers are coming off a win over Golden St. on Saturday to snap a four-game losing skid and that puts them into ninth place in the Western Conference.

Los Angeles is still in the top third in the league in offense as it is ranked No. 13 in scoring and No. 11 in shooting which counterparts the opposing offense. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of less than .400.

This is a tough team to back right now even tough nine of their last 10 games have come on the road but they are still not a great team at home with an 11-19 record. Laying this number is too aggressive. The Spurs are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up loss. Here, we play on road teams in a game involving two teams allowing between 45.5 and 47.5 percent shooting, after four straight games allowing 50 percent or higher shooting.

The Trojans are now 14-5 in the conference and can grab the No. 2 spot with a win here against their biggest rival and the line value is huge. They are 9-2 on the road and they won the first meeting by three points and while the defense remains strong, the offense should have a better effort here after going just 27-68 against Arizona. The Trojans are 7-1 ATS in their last eight road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. UCLA has won two straight games following a loss at Oregon and the Bruins also have a shot at second place with a win but we do not care about that as the line value here is too good to pass up. They are 13-1 at home so this is definitely a test but the matchup is good. The pace has given the Bruins a solid scoring average bur they are shooting just 44.9 percent from the floor. UCLA is 17-33 ATS in its last 50 games off a road win by 10 points or more. Here, we play against favorites after two consecutive covers as a favorite going up against an opponent off a home blowout loss by 20 points or more.

The Nittany Lions are 7-11 in the conference and they hit the road where they are 1-8 but half of those losses came by six points or less and there will be plenty of motivation following the loss against the Huskers.

This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. After a great start to the season the Mountain West Conference, Wyoming has been stuck in neutral is it is just 2-3 over its last five games. The Cowboys are now 12-4 in the conference which is two games behind Boise St. but they can still take second place if they win here and against Fresno St. in the regular season finale. Wyoming is 8-4 on the road and it is solid on both ends of the floor, ranked No. 95 in scoring offense and No. 80 in scoring defense. Wyoming is 6-0 ATS as a road underdog of six points or less this season. It has been a good season for UNLV which is 17-12 overall including a 9-7 record in the conference but are likely out of a top four spot. The Rebels are 13-4 at home which is the reason they come in as the favorite here but four of the last five home wins have come against the four worst teams in the MWC, all of which have double-digit losses. Offense has been the liability this season as the Rebels are ranked No. 191 in scoring and No. 240 in shooting offense. UNLV is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 home games after playing four consecutive games as an underdog. Here, we play against home teams where the line is +3 to -3 forcing 12 or fewer tpg, after five straight games committing 14 or less turnovers.

This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. It has been a rough stretch for the Knicks as they have lost five straight games including the last two by 15 and 16 points. This includes a home loss to the Sixers last time out and while road revenge is not a huge angle, this is a good spot to get it back. New York is 12-17 on the road which is nothing great but the percentage is better than its home record and the opposite can be said for Philadelphia. The knicks still have a strong defense that is ranked No. 8 in scoring and No. 7 in shooting percentage. The Knicks are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games playing on two days of rest. The Sixers have won and covered three straight games and the offense looks to already be in synch with James Harden entering the lineup. Philadelphia is 21-10 on the road but just 16-13 at home which is surprising since they have been one of the best home teams over the years. This is a letdown spot for sure with upcoming games against Cleveland, Chicago, Miami and Brooklyn, all of which are in the current playoff standings. Philadelphia is 4-13 ATS in its last 17 games after playing three consecutive road games. Here, we play on underdogs of 10 or more points after allowing 63 points or more in the first half in two straight games.

We played on Los Angeles in a similar situation three games back as it was on a three-game losing streak and came out with an inspired effort against Utah in a victory as a home underdog. This sets up very similar following two straight losses and we like the chance for a big bounce back here. The Lakers are 18-15 at home and they are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. Dallas is coming off a win at Golden St. on Sunday as it overcame a 21-point deficit by outscoring the Warriors 33-13 in the fourth quarter. The Mavericks are now in fifth place in the Western Conference as they trail fourth place Utah by two and a half games. They are a respectable 16-14 on the road but they are just 3-6 ATS when favored in this price range between five and seven points and are dead even in shooting percentage offense and defense on the highway. Here, we play against road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games, playing their 3rd road game in five days. This situation is 54-25 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Los Angeles Lakers |

03-01-22 | St Bonaventure v. VCU -3 | Top | 51-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 10 m | Show |
This is a play on the VCU RAMS as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. VCU has won seven straight games and returns home following a 15-point win at Massachusetts. This is the final home game of the season for the Rams where they are 10-4 and will have a big crowd on hand for Senior Night. They are 13-3 in the Atlantic Ten and can retain their hold on second place in the conference with a win and can move to within a half-game of first place Davidson. This is a big revenge game for the Rams following a 20-point loss at St. Bonaventure in the first meeting. VCU is 13-4 ATS after playing a game as favorite this season. St. Bonaventure has also won seven straight games to improve to 11-4 in the conference but five of those games were at home and the Bonnies hit the road where they are 4-3. Three of those wins came against the three worst teams in the conference that are combined 8-39 and their overall conference record includes just three wins against teams with a winning record. St. Bonaventure is 0-8 ATS after playing five consecutive games as favorite this season. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points after four or more consecutive wins going up against an opponent after seven or more consecutive wins. This situation is 32-9 ATS (78 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (634) VCU Rams |

02-28-22 | Pacers v. Magic -1 | Top | 103-119 | Win | 100 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Orlando is coming off a win over Houston on Friday to snap a four-game losing streak and remains home for a pair of games against Indiana. It has obviously been a tough season for the Magic but they have had success of late against poor teams and have struggled against the top teams as of their last eight defeats, seven game against winning teams. The Magic are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage below .400. Indiana is coming off a 21-point win over Boston on Sunday which came at home and the Pacers now hit the road in a back-to-back where they are 6-23 on the season. The win over the Celtics was surprising as this team is extremely banged up and came into that game on a 1-8 run so there is not a lot of confidence over the last few weeks. The Pacers are 2-7 ATS in their last nine games when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Here, we play against underdogs with a winning percentage between .250 and .400 off a home win by 20 points or more. This situation is 111-59 ATS (65.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (550) Orlando Magic |

Charleston is 16-13 overall and 8-9 in Colonial Athletic Association play following a narrow 80-79 loss at Drexel on Saturday. The Cougars have covered four straight games which is helping with this number as is the fact they a decent 7-7 on the road for the season. This team is below average on both ends of the floor as they are ranked No. 227 in offense shooting and No. 297 in shooting defense while allowing 76.6 ppg which is No. 332 in the country. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem after being beaten by the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games going up against an opponent after going over the total by more than six points in three consecutive games.

DePaul is coming off a win over Georgetown to snap a four-game losing streak and it is now 4-13 in the Big East Conference. The Blue Demons are back home where they are 9-7 on the season which includes four losses against conference heavyweights and they have held their own against the average teams which is what comes to town today. The Blue Demons are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a losing road record. St. John's is coming off a loss against Creighton to fall to 7-9 in the conference and it hits the road where it is 4-5 on the season.

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Cleveland has lost three straight games following a loss at Detroit on Thursday in its first game out of the break. The Cavaliers are back home where they are 18-9 on the season and this is their first home game since February 9th. They are now in fifth place in the Eastern Conference but are just three and a half games back and only a half-game out of fourth place. The Cavaliers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games against teams with a losing road record. Washington lost a tough one last night in double overtime 157-153 against San Antonio in its first game after the break. The Wizards are a game out of the tenth spot in the Eastern Conference and being without Bradley Beal is a huge loss. They are 12-16 on the road and the Wizards are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 road games against teams with a winning home record. Here, we play against underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home loss, with a winning percentage between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 99-46 ATS (68.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (526) Cleveland Cavaliers |

02-25-22 | Clippers v. Lakers -1 | Top | 105-102 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 47 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. The Lakers beat Utah in their final game before the break to snap a three-game losing streak and obviously this team is in a rut. This is a great price though facing a rival at close to even money and needing to find a winning streak. The Lakers are 18-13 on this floor which is not great and while it is the same floor, it is still an edge against a depleted lineup. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. The Clippers are coming off of a win against Houston to make it three of four wins and they are now still a game under .500 for the season. They are sitting in the No. 8 spot which is not horrible but this is not a good matchup tonight. The Clippers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Here, we play against all teams where the line is +3 to -3 after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games, playing five or less games in 14 days.

This is a play on the SAN DIEGO TOREROS for our West Coast Conference Revenge Top Play. San Diego is coming off a 32-point loss at Portland and has now lost four of its last five games following a two-game winning streak. The Toreros are back home to close out the season with two home games where they are 8-4 on the season. They are a respectable 7-7 in the conference and based on that along with the home success, this is way too many points to be getting and it is a revenge situation following a 29-point loss at St. Mary's earlier this month. The Toreros are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 home games against teams with a winning road record. St. Mary's has won two in a row and is now 10-3 in the West Coast Conference but that does not warrant laying this many points on the road. The Gaels are just 5-5 on the highway which includes a 4-3 record in the conference and with the season finale coming up against Gonzaga, this is a lookahead spot. The Gaels are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games following a straight up win. Here, we play against favorites of 10 or more points after a win by six points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 65 points or less in three straight games. This situation is 75-34 ATS (68.8 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (840) San Diego Toreros |

02-24-22 | Hawks v. Bulls -4 | Top | 108-112 | Push | 0 | 11 h 33 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Chicago closed the break on a five-game winning streak and the Bulls are now tied for the top spot in the Eastern Conference with Miami. They are 23-8 at home and are laying a short number here and to get Zach LaVine back is a big bonus as he has not played since February 11th. Chicago is still ranked No. 1 in shooting offense at 48.3 percent including 37.2 percent from long range which is No. 2 in the league. Chicago is 16-4 ATS as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season. Atlanta ended the break with a big win over Orlando to make it two straight wins following a two-game losing streak and a 1-4 run and the Hawks are just 11-17 on the road. The Hawks are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a win by 20 points or more over a division rival going up against an opponent off a home win. This situation is 39-13 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Chicago Bulls |

02-23-22 | George Mason v. VCU -6 | Top | 66-72 | Push | 0 | 11 h 15 m | Show |
This is a play on the VCU RAMS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. VCU is coming off a win against Richmond and it has now won five straight games to improve to 11-3 in the Atlantic Ten Conference. The Rams are tied with Dayton for second place in the conference, one game behind Davidson and the remaining schedule is not easy but doable with the next three games being winnable before closing the season with a tough game at St. Louis. VCU is 7-1 ATS in its last eight games after allowing 65 points or less in two straight games. George Mason lost at Fordham in its last game and it has been a rough stretch for the Patriots as they have gone 2-5 over their last seven games. They are now 6-6 in the conference and remain on the road where they are 4-6. An early season road win against Maryland looked good at the time but the Terrapins are not a good team, sitting under .500 on the season. The Patriots offense is good but they are facing the No. 14 ranked defense in the country so points will be hard to come by. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season that are averaging between 67 and 74 ppg going up against teams averaging between 63 and 67 ppg. This situation is 75-41 ATS (64.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (668) VCU Rams |

This is a play on the NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS for our Big Ten Game of the Month. It has been a rough season for Nebraska as it has lost two straight games to fall to 1-14 in the Big Ten. The Huskers are 0-7 on the road including six losses in the conference with five of those against winning teams in the Big Ten with the other coming against 7-9 Indiana. The defense has been the big issue as they are ranked No. 352 in points allowed but will be facing an average offense and getting double-digits is a huge bonus. The Cornhuskers are 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine games against teams with a losing straight up record. Northwestern has lost three straight games to fall to back under .500 overall and 5-11 in the conference. The Wildcats are 8-6 at home which certainly does not warrant a spread this big. Their defense is not as bad as Nebraska but it is not good as they are ranked No. 165 in scoring while ranking No. 314 in three-point shooting allowed. Northwestern is 2-14 ATS in its last 16 home games after two or more consecutive losses. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 or more points revenging a same season loss, off two consecutive losses of 10 or more to conference rivals. This situation is 318-206 ATS (60.7 percent) since 1997. 10* (635) Nebraska Cornhuskers |

02-21-22 | Arizona State v. UCLA -14 | Top | 52-66 | Push | 0 | 12 h 48 m | Show |
This is a play on the UCLA BRUINS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. UCLA has won two straight games after a 1-3 stretch and is now 11-4 in the conference which puts them three games behind Arizona but they are just a half game out of second place. The Bruins are 12-1 at home with the only loss coming against Oregon by three points. They are ranked in the top 60 in both scoring offense and scoring defense and this is a must winnable game with three straight games on the road upcoming. UCLA is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 home games off a home win. Arizona St. has won three straight games to improve to 6-9 in the Pac 12 Conference and now hits the road where it is 3-6 on the season. The Sun Devils offense remains one of the worst in the country as they are No. 314 in scoring and No. 339 in shooting and No. 339 in three-point shooting and will be facing a great defense here. Arizona St. is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games after playing two consecutive home games. Here, we play against road teams off two consecutive home wins by 10 points or more with a winning percentage between .200 and .400 on the season.

This is a play on the MISSISSIPPI ST. BULLDOGS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. We won with Mississippi St. on Friday and we will be playing them again here. Prior to that, Mississippi St. had lost four straight games and six of its last seven but the schedule was brutal. Five of those losses came against five of the top six teams in the SEC and of those seven games, five were on the road. The road has not been great for the Bulldogs as they are 0-7 but in the case of a back-to-back against a poor team, this is a great spot to grab that maiden win. The Bulldogs are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games as a favorite. Missouri has lost two straight games and while it is a decent 7-6 at home, the Tigers have lost four of their last five games at home, the lone win coming against 4-10 Mississippi. The offense is ranked No. 300 in scoring and the defense is not much better at No. 232 and they are awful on the perimeter on both ends as they are getting outshot by 8.5 percent from long range and that showed on Friday even though Mississippi St. did not have a good shooting night. Missouri is 1-9 ATS in its last 10 games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams shooting 32 percent or less from long range, after a game where they allowed 33 percent shooting or less. This situation is 83-43 ATS (65.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (859) Mississippi St. Bulldogs |

This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS for our Pac 12 Game of the Year. Oregon is coming off a loss at Arizona St. by 24 points and the Ducks are now 10-5 in the Pac 12 Conference. The Ducks came into the season ranked No. 13 in the country and are projected to be out of the NCAA Tournament despite sitting in fourth place in the Pac 12 because of the weakness of the conference as a whole. All they can do now is win these big games or make a big run in Pac 12 Tournament and these points are too big to pass up. The Ducks are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a road underdog. Arizona is the class of the conference as it is 13-1 and leads by 2.5 games heading into Saturday. The Wildcats have won seven straight games with six of those by double-digits and while two of the wins during the streak came against UCLA and USC, they were not favored by this much. Arizona possesses one of the top offenses in the country but the Ducks have a formidable defense that can slow them down. The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as a home favorite. Here, we play on road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite. This situation is 152-85 ATS (64.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (803) Oregon Ducks |

The Bulldogs are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a losing road record. Missouri is coming off a 19-point loss at home against Arkansas and it has now dropped eight of its last 10 games to fall to 4-8 in the SEC with two of those wins coming against 3-10 Mississippi.

The Heat are now a half-game behind Chicago for first place in the Eastern Conference and hit the road where they are 18-14 which is the fifth best road record in the NBA. Miami comes in with the No. 5 scoring defense and No. 5 shooting defense which can counter the top scoring offense in the NBA.

Charlotte is coming off an overtime loss at Minnesota to make it two straight losses and the Hornets are 1-8 over their last nine games. They head home where they are 14-13 but have lost six straight here. Charlotte is in the No. 9 spot in the Eastern Conference with not a lot of room for error and while it possesses the top ranked scoring offense, the defense is ranked No. 28 and Miami has a big edge on the perimeter. The Hornets are 0-8 ATS in their last eight home games. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 playing a team with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 in February games.

Florida International is coming off a win at Marshall which snapped a two-game skid and they are now 4-8 in the conference. The Golden Panthers are back home where they are 10-3 on the season and this starts the stretch of four more winnable games after this one so they can make a move up in the standings.

The Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a home underdog. Middle Tennessee St. is coming off a win against Charlotte on Sunday to cap off a 3-0 homestand.

Utah has won six straight games following a five-game losing streak and the Jazz are now in fourth place in the Western Conference, sitting 11 games out of first place in the Western Conference.

The Lakers have lost three straight games including their last two on the road by a bucket apiece. They are now five games under .500 on the season and while things look like they are going in a downward spiral, this roster is obviously good enough to get back into what they can do.

Here, we play on teams coming off a close loss by three points or less to a division rival going up against an opponent after two consecutive covers as a favorite.

George Mason has lost four of its last five games to fall to 5-5 in the Atlantic Ten Conference and is now 4.5 games out of first place and two games out of fourth place and the all-important double-bye. The Patriots are 3-5 on the road and three of the last four losses could have gone either way with the other being a nine-point loss at Kansas which they easily covered. This starts the stretch of very winnable games and they have to take advantage. Geroge Mason is 16-5 ATS in its last 21 games after allowing 80 points or more in two straight games. St. Joseph's is coming off a pair of losses on the road and both were within reach but the Hawks could not close.

Utah St. has dropped two straight games including a bad loss at home against Nevada by 13 points as an 11-point favorite. They come in 3-5 on the road and have fallen to 6-7 in the conference and have a challenge here with a decent offence but facing a top level defensive team. The Aggies are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a double-digit loss at home and Utah St. is 9-22 ATS in its last 31 road games after a loss by 10 points or more since 1997. Here, we play on home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points that are allowing 63 or fewer ppg going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after allowing 65 points or less in three straight games. This situation is 48-13 ATS (78.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (662) San Diego St. Aztecs |

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE HORNETS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Charlotte has gone 1-7 over its last eight games following a solid start to the season and the Hornets are now a game and a half out of the No. 8 slot in the Eastern Conference. They have played a brutal schedule during this recent stretch as six of those losses came against teams that are six games over .500 or better. The Hornets are a respectable 15-16 on the road and Charlotte is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 games when playing against teams with a winning percentage between.501 and .600 this season. Minnesota is coming off a win at Indiana on Sunday to improve to 30-27 and remains in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference with not much room to climb at this point as it is six games out of the No. 4 seed. The Timberwolves are 16-10 at home but outscoring opponents by just four ppg. Minnesota is 5-15 ATS in its last 20 home games after two consecutive non-conference games. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg scoring differential, after scoring 125 points or more. This situation is 39-12 ATS (76.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (533) Charlotte Hornets |

02-14-22 | Washington State v. Oregon -4.5 | Top | 59-62 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 29 m | Show |
This is a play on the OREGON DUCKS for our Pac 12 Game of the Month. Oregon was on a roll with four straight wins and a 9-1 before a bad loss against California by 14 points as a 14.5-point favorite and that puts the Ducks in a great bounce back situation tonight. Oregon is now 10-4 at home and at 9-4 in the Pac 12 Conference, the Ducks are a half-game out of second place and three games out of first place. Oregon is hitting 46.3 percent of its shots from the floor which is No. 64 in the country and can counter a solid Washington St. defense. The Ducks are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning straight up record. Washington St. was also on a roll with five straight wins but lost to Arizona and Arizona St. last week to fall to 7-5 in the conference. The Cougars are a very solid 5-1 on the road but the only quality win came against Stanford which is currently 8-7 in the conference. The Cougars are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against teams in the second half of the season that are allowing 63 or fewer ppg against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after scoring 55 points or less. This situation is 67-26 ATS (72 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (904) Oregon Ducks |

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. Chicago has gotten some of its momentum back with three straight wins following a stretch where it went 6-10 and lost its first place hold in the Eastern Conference. They are still just one game behind Miami in the conference and the Bulls remain home where they have won two straight and are 21-8 here on the season. Chicago is still ranked No. 1 in shooting offense at 48.2 percent and No. 2 in three-point shooting offense at 37.5 percent. The Bulls are 25-10 ATS in their last 35 home games against teams with a losing road record. San Antonio has won two straight games, both as underdogs, yet are still 22-35 overall and 11-17 on the road. The Spurs are well out in the Western Conference as they trail No. 8 Los Angeles by 5.5 games and are looking at a third straight season of missing the playoffs. The Spurs are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against road underdogs in the second half of the season off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog. This situation is 55-23 ATS (70.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (516) Chicago Bulls |

02-13-22 | Monmouth v. Iona -8 | Top | 62-70 | Push | 0 | 4 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the IONA GAELS for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. This is a great spot for Iona that opened the conference season a perfect 11-0 but dropped two straight games on the road at Niagara and Siena and is back home where it is a perfect 9-0 this season. They have failed to cover their last four games and that is adding value in this number in a game where they know they have to step up after just a one point win in the first meeting. The Gaels are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. Monmouth comes in off a 10-point win at Manhattan which has gotten the Hawks to 8-5 in the conference after a slow start. They have won six of their last eight games and while three of those were on the road, they were against inferior opposition where the Hawks were favored in all three of those. Here, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem revenging a home loss going up against an opponent off two or more consecutive upset losses as a road favorite. This situation is 65-30 ATS (68.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (836) Iona Gaels |

02-12-22 | Utah v. Colorado -5 | Top | 76-81 | Push | 0 | 10 h 25 m | Show |
This is a play on the COLORADO BUFFALOES as part of our CBB Saturday Triple Play. Colorado snapped a three-game slide with a win over Oregon St. last Saturday and is now just one game under .500 in the Pac 12 Conference. The Buffaloes are a solid 10-4 at home and the three conference losses came against three conference heavyweights in USC, UCLA and Oregon. They are outshooting opponents by close to six percent per game here. The Buffaloes are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games as a home favorite. Utah went 1-1 on its current homestand as it destroyed Oregon St. and lost by just three points against Oregon and now hits the road for three straight games. The Utes have struggled away from home, going 0-8 while getting outscored by close to 13 ppg and getting outshot 47.4 percent to 39.6 percent. They are 2-12 in the conference with the wins coming against 1-10 Oregon St. and 3-11 California. Utah is 8-21 ATS in its last 29 road games against conference opponents. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a home loss going up against an opponent off a home blowout win by 20 points or more.

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Denver lost last night in Boston and the Nuggets are just 2-4 over their last six games but are in a good back-to-back spot here with great line value. They fell to 15-15 on the road and are still one of the top offensive teams away from home as they are shooting 47 percent from the floor while averaging 107.6 ppg with the former ranking No. 5 in the league. The Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games as a road underdog. The Raptors are on fire as they have won eight straight games and have now moved to No. 6 in the Eastern Conference and sitting just four games back from first place Miami. The Raptors are 16-12 at home which is respectable but they are outscoring opponents by just under three ppg and there have been some bad wins. Toronto is 1-10 ATS in its last 11 games after four straight wins by 10 points or more since 1996. Here, we play against favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg scoring differential, after scoring 125 points or more. This situation is 38-12 ATS (76 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (571) Denver Nuggets |

02-11-22 | Nuggets +5 v. Celtics | Top | 102-108 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Friday Game of the Month. Boston is coming off a blowout win over Brooklyn to make it six straight wins and it has now moved into the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference. The schedule has been in the Celtics favor by playing the reeling Nets and four other teams at .500 or worse and overall, they have faced the No. 25 ranked schedule in the league. The defense remains stout but faces a tough offense tonight. Boston is 0-8 ATS in its last eight games after two consecutive covers as a favorite. Denver has won two straight games to move to 30-24 and despite that, the Nuggets are 14.5 games back from first place in the Western Conference. At this point, they are playing for fourth place where they are just 3.5 games back and can take advantage with their offense that is ranked No. 3 in field goal shooting at 47.4 percent. The Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play against home favorites off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, with a winning percentage of between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 36-15 ATS (70.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (553) Denver Nuggets |

This is a play on the WRIGHT ST. RAIDERS for our CBB Friday Enforcer. Wright St. has won and covered four straight games, all by double-digits to improve to 12-4 in the Horizon League which is a half-game behind 12-3 Cleveland St. The road has not been great as the Raiders are 6-5 on the road but that is good enough in this spot with a significant matchup advantage as they bring in the No. 68 scoring offense and No. 35 in shooting offense in the country. The Raiders are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a losing home record. Wisconsin-Milwaukee has lost six straight games and has failed to cover any of those. While that makes this a good contrarian spot, the Panthers offense cannot keep up here as they scored more than 60 points only twice during this losing streak including putting up just 39 points against Northern Kentucky on Wednesday. The Panthers are 5-11 in the conference and just 4-8 at home and Wisconsin Milwaukee is 2-8 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record this season. Here, we play on road teams as an favorite or pickem with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 after four or more consecutive wins, playing a losing team. This situation is 122-72 ATS (62.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (881) Wright St. Raiders |

This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. Western Kentucky came into the season as a contender in the C-USA East Division but is off to a 4-6 start. The good news for the Hilltoppers is that they have some momentum on their side coming off a pair of road wins following a five-game losing streak that included four losses against teams a combined 32-9 in the conference. The Hilltoppers are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400. Florida Atlantic was one of those losses on the road as the Owls have won four straight games to take over first place in the C-USA East Division with an 8-3 record. They are just 2-6 on the road with those two wins coming against UTSA and Marshall, a combined 2-20 in the conference. Florida Atlantic is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games after scoring 80 points or more.

Miami is also on a roll with three straight wins, all by double-digits, and the Heat are now a half-game in first place in the Eastern Conference.

The Heat are ranked No. 5 in scoring defense and No. 6 in shooting defense. Miami is 11-2 ATS in its last 13 games after playing three consecutive road games. Here, we play against home underdogs after three or more consecutive wins, in February games. This situation is 66-33 ATS (66.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (537) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the CLEVELAND CAVALIERS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Cleveland has won two straight games and going back, it has won 11 of its last 14 games to surge up the Eastern Conference standings. The Cavaliers are No. 4 in the conference, just a game and a half out of first place and not many saw them in this mix coming into the season. Cleveland remains the top defensive team in the league, giving up just 102.1 ppg and it is No. 3 in shooting defense, allowing 44 percent from the floor. Those numbers are even better at home where Cleveland is 17-9. San Antonio is coming off a blowout win over Houston which snapped a three-game slide but the Spurs have been unable to string together win as they have gone 0-6 in their last six games following a win and have not won consecutive games since late December. The Spurs are 9-16 on the road and while they have competed well, they have struggled in this price range. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off a win by 20 points or more over a division rival going up against an opponent off a home win.

This is a play on the WYOMING COWBOYS as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. Utah St. is rolling with five straight wins, all by at least 15 points, to improve to 6-5 in the Mountain West Conference.

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Tuesday Star Attraction. Phoenix continues to roll along as it has won two straight games after beating Chicago last night and has won 13 of its last 14 games. The Suns are now 2.5 games ahead of Golden St. for first place in the Western Conference and now close their four-game roadtrip in a tough spot playing in the second of a back-to-back.

02-07-22 | Knicks +7.5 v. Jazz | Top | 104-113 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 55 m | Show |
This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Nonconference Game of the Month. The Knicks are coming off a tough overtime loss against the Lakers and the frustration showed afterwards with player comments which is a motivational shot here. New York has dropped two straight, five of six and eight of its last 10 games to fall five games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and the Knicks are one of the big disappointments in the league. They are 11-14 on the road which includes four straight losses but three of those could have gone the other way and overall, they are getting outscored by just 1.5 ppg on the road. The Knicks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss. Utah has won two straight games following a 1-7 stretch but the Jazz are still not at full strength with Rudy Golbert out and Jordan Clarkson and Rudy Gay coming in as very questionable once again. The home record of 17-10 looks solid but they have been far from dominant and the Jazz are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite. Here, we play against home favorites in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams shooting between 33 and 36.5 percent from long range, after a game where they shot 55 percent or better of their shots. This situation is 25-7 ATS (78.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (569) New York Knicks |

02-07-22 | Virginia +12.5 v. Duke | Top | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 15 h 2 m | Show |
This is a play on the VIRGINIA CAVALIERS for our CBB Monday Star Attraction. Duke is coming off a very emotional win as it defeated North Carolina by 20 points on Saturday at Chapel Hill which was the last time head coach Mike Krzyzewski will step foot on that court in one of the biggest rivalries in college basketball. There might not be a bigger letdown spot than that and laying this many points to a quality opponent is a clear fade just two days later. The Blue Devils remain the class of the ACC as they are in first place with a 9-2 record but it is wide open with five teams within two games and Virginia is one of those. It has been what is considered a down season for Virginia but the Cavaliers are hanging in there as they are now 8-5 in the conference following a pair of wins last week. The defense remains the strength of this team and they have not seen a number this big all season and that is a huge advantage in what should be a lower scoring game. Virginia is a respectable 5-5 on the road and while this will be the toughest test away from home so far, this is a great spot as they are catching Duke at the perfect time. Here, we play against favorites of 10 to 19.5 points with a winning percentage of .800 or better after having covered five or six of their last seven games against the spread. This situation is 171-106 ATS (61.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (881) Virginia Cavaliers |

This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Sunday Star Attraction. Milwaukee is coming off a rout of Portland on Saturday by 29 points which was its second straight win and sixth victory over its last eight games. The Bucks are 14-12 on the road and they remain two games out of first place in the Eastern Conference. Milwaukee is No. 6 in the league in scoring offense and could be challenged here against a fairly tough Clippers defense but it is a defense that has regressed considerably. Milwaukee is 12-2 ATS in its last 14 road games after leading their last two games by 10 or more points at the half. The Clippers are coming off a win over the Lakers on Thursday and getting on a run has been an issue of late as they have won back-to-back games only twice since December 15th, going 2-9 over their last 11 games following a victory. Los Angeles is 16-12 at home which includes four straight wins and that is keeping this number within reason. The Clippers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games against teams with a winning road record. Here, we play against home underdogs in non-conference games, off a win by three points or less over a division rival. This situation is 33-9 ATS (78.6 percent) since 1996. 10* (555) Milwaukee Bucks |

02-06-22 | Washington v. Stanford -4.5 | Top | 69-87 | Win | 100 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
This is a play on the STANFORD CARDINAL for our CBB Sunday Enforcer. Stanford is coming off a loss against Washington St. on Thursday to fall to 6-5 in the Pac 12 Conference. The Cardinal fell at home for just the second time this season, the first coming against Arizona which should be of no surprise. Overall, they are 9-2 at home and going back, the Cardinal are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning straight up record. Washington is coming off a win at California which was its third straight victory to improve to a surprising 7-3 in the Pac 12. Of those seven wins, six have come against losing teams with the only victory against a winning team came at home against Stanford, setting up a revenge spot for the Cardinal. The Huskies have won three conference games on the road and those were against teams that are 2-11, 1-9 and 2-12 in the Pac 12. Washington is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games after three straight games allowing 40 percent or less shooting. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season that are 67 and 74 ppg going up against teams averaging between 63 and 67 ppg. This situation is 69-31 ATS (69 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (858) Stanford Cardinal |

This is a play on the USC TROJANS as part of our CBB Saturday Afternoon Triple Play. This is the marquee matchup in the Pac 12 on Saturday with first place implications on the line. Arizona is coming off a win over UCLA as a 6.5-point favorite and now it is favored by double-digits against a team that is 19-3 overall and just one-game worse than the Bruins in the conference. The Wildcats 12-0 at home and have had their way with most teams but this is a tough matchup against one of the best defenses they have faced all season. Arizona is 40-64 ATS in its last 104 home games when playing with one or less days of rest. USC is coming off a narrow win over Arizona St. and part of that is a lookahead situation and it is now a road underdog in the conference for the first time this season. The Trojans are 7-1 on the road with the only blemish being a loss at Stanford which was just its second game following a three-week layoff. USC is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 games against teams outscoring their opponents by 12 or more ppg. Here, we play against favorites of 10 to 19.5 points averaging 62 or more shots per game going up against an opponent after game allowing 33 percent or less shooting. This situation is 45-19 ATS (70.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (725) USC Trojans |

This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. Denver closed its six-game roadtrip with a pair of losses against Minnesota and Utah after opening with four straight wins. The Nuggets were without Nikola Jokic for the last game against the Jazz but he will be back on Friday. Denver is just 13-9 at home which is respectable but not great and that is helping with the number. Denver is ranked No. 4 in the NBA in shooting offense at 47.2 percent and faces an awful defense so it should be able to have a big game here being back to full strength. The Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. New Orleans snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Detroit which really is not saying much. The Pelicans are just 8-19 on the road as they are allowing 47.2 percent shooting and giving up 109.5 ppg and that shooting percentage is seventh worst in the NBA. Offensively, they are one of the worst overall as they are ranked No. 26 in points scored, shooting offense and three-point shooting offense. New Orleans is 4-21 ATS in its last 25 road games off an upset win of 10 points or more as a road underdog. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points in the second half of the season shooting between 33 and 36.5 percent from long range going up against teams shooting 33 or worse from long range, after three straight games allowing 47 percent shooting or higher. This situation is 33-12 ATS (73.3 percent) since 1996. 10* (526) Denver Nuggets |

Creighton is coming off a win over Connecticut following a two-game losing streak and it now sits at 5-4 in the Big East Conference. The Bluejays are 3-3 on the road and have a positive shooting differential away from home where they are hitting 40.5 percent from the floor while allowing 38.9 percent shooting. They hang their hat on their defense as they are No. 21 in shooting defense overall and face a Seton Hall offense that is ranked No. 271 in the nation. Creighton is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games after having lost two of their last three games. Seton Hall is also coming off a win at Georgetown which resulted in a push and that stopped some of the bleeding as the Pirates were on a 1-4 run. They are now just 4-6 in the conference and despite the worse record, they are very overvalued here based on a three-point home court advantage. Seton Hall is 0-6 ATS in its last six in home games when playing against a team with a winning percentage between .600 and .800. Here, we play on road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points off an upset win as an underdog of 10 or more going up against an opponent off a road win. This situation is 46-15 ATS (75.4 percent) since 1997. 10* (875) Creighton Bluejays |

02-03-22 | San Francisco v. BYU -1.5 | Top | 73-59 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 0 m | Show |
This is a play on the BYU COUGARS for our WCC Game of the Month. BYU is coming off a pair of losses against Santa Clara and Pacific by one and three points respectively and now sits at 5-3 in the West Coast Conference, which is good for fourth place, a half-game behind San Diego for third place. Both of those losses were on the road and the Cougars are back home where they have been dominant over the years and this season is no exception as they are 10-0 and outscoring opponents by 14.6 ppg. There are some solid wins over San Diego and St. Mary's and BYU has to avoid the lookahead to Gonzaga in two days and two straight losses will do that. BYU is 18-4 ATS in its last 22 games after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games. San Francisco is coming off a win over Santa Clara but it has been an uneven stretch after a 15-2 start to the season for the Dons. San Francisco is 1-9 ATS against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg this season. Here, we play on home teams after two straight losses by three points or less going up against an opponent after scoring 85 points or more. This situation is 67-30 ATS (69.1 percent) since 1997. 10* (832) BYU Cougars |

This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Chicago has righted the ship as it has won four of its last five games following a 1-6 stretch that saw its first place hold in the Eastern Conference dwindle but the Bulls are now a game ahead of Miami and positive momentum can go a long way here. Chicago is 13-12 on the road which is nothing special but this is a good spot to keep it going with a tough upcoming stretch. The Bulls are 5-1 ATS in their last six games after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Toronto has won three straight games to remain in eighth place in the conference, two games clear of Boston. The Raptors are just 14-12 at home and while they have done well against some of the better teams, this is not an ideal situation coming off its recent stretch where each game could have gone either way. Toronto is 4-16 ATS in its last 20 games after having won five or six of their last seven games. Here, we play against favorites in a game involving two teams with a +/- 3 ppg scoring differential.), after three straight wins by six points or less. This situation is 33-11 ATS (75 percent) since 1996. 10* (597) Chicago Bulls |

02-02-22 | Hornets v. Celtics -5 | Top | 107-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 6 m | Show |
This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Boston has won four of its last five games including a 30-point win over Miami two nights ago to make it two straight home wins where it is now 17-10 on the season. The Celtics are still on the outside looking in as they are in the No. 9 slot in the Eastern Conference, trailing Toronto by a game and a half and these are the games they need to take advantage of especially with road games against Detroit and Orlando upcoming to keep a big run going. The Celtics are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as a favorite. Charlotte is coming off a loss against the Clippers which snapped a two-game winning streak and the Hornets remain No. 7 in the conference and after a great start, it has been up and down. They do have a top ranked offense but are facing one of the best defenses in the NBA as Boston is No. 4 in points slowed and No. 2 in shooting defense. The Hornets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games following a double-digit loss at home. Here, we play against road underdogs averaging 114 or more ppg on the season going up against an opponent after allowing 100 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 23-5 ATS (82.1 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (562) Boston Celtics |

This is a play on the NOTRE DAME FIGHTING IRISH for our ACC Game of the Month. Miami continues to be the surprise of the ACC as it is now 8-2 following a pair of road wins and the two losses coming by just one point each, both against Florida St. the Hurricanes have covered five of their last six games and seven of their last nine and that only adds to the value for Notre Dame here. The Hurricanes are 4-13-1 ATS in their last 18 games as a favorite. Notre Dame started the season slow but with a typical Mike Brey team, adjustments were made and the Irish have won 10 of their last 12 games to move to 7-3 in the conference. They are coming off a bad loss against Duke where they managed just 43 points on 27.9 percent shooting but are in a much better matchup here. The Irish are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on underdogs in the second half of the season that are allowing between 42.5 and 45 percent shooting going up against teams allowing between 45 and 47.5 percent shooting, after a game where a team made 28 percent of their shots or worse. This situation is 25-5 ATS (83.3 percent) since 1997. 10* (691) Notre Dame Fighting Irish |

This is a play on the MIAMI HEAT for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Miami has dropped two straight games to end a solid 9-2 run. The Heat are still in second place in the Eastern Conference as they trail the Bulls by just one game but at the same time, they are just a game and a half out of fifth place. Miami is 14-13 on the road and it has flourished in this situation, going 6-1 ATS as an underdog of fewer than five points. The Heat are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss. Toronto has won two straight games and is back over .500 while sitting in eighth place in the conference. They are just one game over .500 at home and the Raptors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a ATS win. Here, we play against teams off two or more consecutive upset wins as a road underdog, playing on back-to-back days. This situation is 98-54 ATS (64.5 percent) since 1996. 10* (595) Miami Heat |

This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS as part of our CBB Tuesday Triple Play. Kansas is coming off an ugly 18-point loss against Kentucky which snapped a five-game winning streak and now the Jayhawks are back into conference action. They are 6-1 in the Big 12 which is good for first place, one-game ahead of Baylor and with a home game against Baylor on deck, this has turned into a huge game. Kansas is 20-4 ATS in its last 24 games after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. Iowa St. has won and covered two straight games following a 1-4 run that included a one-point loss at Kansas. The Cyclones were getting 13 points in that game and looking at the venue and line change, they are getting too much respect here. The Cyclones are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Here, we play on favorites off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite, with a winning percentage of .800 or better on the season. This situation is 28-10 ATS (73.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (617) Kansas Jayhawks |

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS four our NBA Monday Enforcer. Philadelphia has won four straight games and is now in third place in the Eastern Conference, just a game and a half out of first place. The Sixers are 13-10 at home which is not great but have won six of their last seven here and are getting a favorable number that enhances their defense which is one of the best in the league where they are ranked No. 8 overall in scoring and No. 11 in shooting defense. The 76ers are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games following an ATS loss. Memphis has won three straight games and remains 6.5 out of first place in the Western Conference. We are a fan of the Grizzlies but they have been average being No. 15 in shooting offense and No. 12 in shooting defense. Here, we play on favorites allowing between 104 and 108 ppg going up against teams allowing between 108 and 114 ppg, after two straight games where both teams scored 105 points or less.

This is a play on the UTAH JAZZ for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Utah has found itself in its worst slump of the season as it has lost four straight games and six of its last seven and while injuries have played a role, this is a good spot to get back in the win column. The Jazz are 15-10 on the road and still has one of the top offenses in the league as they are ranked No. 2 in scoring offense and No. 4 in shooting offense. Utah is 20-8 ATS in its last 28 road games after failing to cover five or six of their last seven games against the spread. Minnesota is in the same boat with injuries and is now back under .500 following losses against Phoenix and Golden St. The Timberwolves have been decent at home with a 13-10 record but they have struggled overall on both ends of the floor as they are No. 24 in shooting offense and No. 15 in shooting defense. Minnesota is 7-18 ATS in its last 25 home games against teams outscoring their opponents by three or more ppg. Here, we play on road teams after having lost 5 or 6 of their last 7 games, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team.

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. Washington has lost four straight games with the last one being the worst as the Wizards blew a 35-point lead against the Clippers in a one-point loss on Tuesday. All four of those came at home and Washington hits the road for the first time since January 9 after concluding an eight-game homestand. The Wizards are 10-13 on the road while going just 7-15-1 against the number and they are 1-5-1 ATS when getting between five and seven points. Washington is 8-18 ATS after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season.

01-28-22 | Boise State v. Fresno State +1.5 | Top | 68-63 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the FRESNO ST. BULLDOGS for our MWC Game of the Month. Boise St. comes in as the hottest team in the Mountain West Conference as it is 7-0 and overall, has won 13 straight games. The Broncos are a solid 6-1 on the road which includes some impressive conference victories but this could be the sneaky toughest one of all. This matchup is pretty tight with two teams that play extremely tough defense with the offenses lagging back a bit so pace is down which helps the small dog and definitely the home court edge. Boise St. has failed to cover three of their last five games and their last five wins have come down to the last minute and by an average of just 4.8 ppg. Fresno St. was on a solid 3-0 run before losing at Nevada by four points but bounced back with a win at New Mexico and they head home where they are 9-0. The Bulldogs are 4-2 in the conference so they can get to a game and a half of first place with a favorable schedule of five of the next seven games taking place at home. Fresno St. is 8-2 ATS against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg this season. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 in a game involving two teams allowing 63 or fewer ppg, after four straight games where both teams scored 70 points or less. This situation is 34-11 ATS (65.6 percent) since 1997. 10* (902) Fresno St. Bulldogs |

01-28-22 | Celtics v. Hawks -2 | Top | 92-108 | Win | 100 | 14 h 17 m | Show |
This is a play on the ATLANTA HAWKS for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Boston is coming off a 53-point win over Sacramento to make it two straight wins and now hits the road where it has lost four of six games. Boston is a very average No. 19 in scoring offense and No. 21 in shooting offense and the last game was an aberration. The Celtics are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Atlanta has won five straight games and sits four games out of the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference and finds itself in a good spot here. The Hawks offense is much better than what the Celtics faced against the Kings as they are ranked No. 7 in scoring and No. 9 in shooting. Atlanta has averaged close to 120 ppg over its five-game winning streak and can keep it going here with its home momentum where it has won four straight. The Hawks are 22-8 ATS in their last 30 home games against teams with a losing road record. Here, we play on home teams where the line is +3 to -3 after having won 5 or 6 of their last 7 games, with a winning percentage of between .400 and .499 on the season.

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Southwest Game of the Month. We won with San Antonio last night as it took out Houston by 30 points to snap a two-game skid as well as a 3-12 run but as mentioned in the analysis, things are now going to get tough with a stretch of four games against four of the best teams in the NBA. The Spurs are 5-13 against top ten ranked teams and are in a horrible spot here after that blowout win facing an elite team coming off a bad loss against a good team. The Spurs are 0-5 ATS in their last five games against teams with a winning straight up record. Memphis lost at Dallas which was its second loss in three games on the road against what will be playoff teams and the Grizzlies remain in third place in the Western Conference, six and a half games out of first place. They possess the second best road record in the Western Conference so this line is nothing to take care of and the Grizzlies are 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Here, we play on road teams where the line is +3 to -3 off a road loss by 10 points or more, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 131-80 ATS (62.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (537) Memphis Grizzlies |

This is a play on the SAN ANTONIO SPURS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. San Antonio has lost two straight games against quality competition as it fell to Brooklyn and Philadelphia and hits the road before a brutal upcoming stretch against Memphis, Chicago, Phoenix and Golden St. the Spurs are 8-15 on the road which is certainly not good but they have played one of the toughest road schedules in the NBA. The offense remains one of the top units in the league and face the worst defense tonight. The Spurs are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a losing straight up record. Houston is coming off a close loss against Golden St. which followed a pair of upset wins at Sacramento and Utah and the Rockets have now covered three straight games. Houston is 2-16 ATS in its last 18 home games after scoring 105 points or less over the last two seasons. Here, we play on road favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points revenging a loss where opponent scored 100 or more points going up against an opponent off a close road loss of three points or less.

This is a play on the ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our Big Ten Top Play. After a 6-0 start in the Big Ten, Illinois has lost its last two games to fall out of first place and now is the time to turn things around. When including its run to the 2021 Big Ten Tournament championship, Illinois had won 13 straight games against conference opponents until the Purdue loss. Illinois is now 20-3 in its last 23 games against conference foes. The Illini are 8-2 at home while outscoring opponents by 19 ppg. Illinois ranks fourth nationally in offensive rebound percentage at 38.8 percent and it has outrebounded 14 of 18 opponents and ranks third in the NCAA in rebound margin at +11.2 rpg. The Illini are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite. Michigan St. has moved to 6-1 in the Big Ten following a big road win at Wisconsin on Friday. The Spartans have yet to lose on the road and that is adding value to the Illini with this line coming down. The Spartans are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem after being beaten by the spread by 24 or more points total in their last three games going up against an opponent after going over the total by more than six points in three consecutive games.

01-25-22 | Richmond v. Rhode Island +1 | Top | 70-63 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 7 m | Show |
This is a play on the RHODE ISLAND RAMS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Richmond has won two straight games to move back to .500 in the Atlantic Ten Conference at 3-3 and 12-7 overall. The problem is that this is now their third straight road game and the first two were at Fordham and LaSalle which are a combined 3-8 in the conference. The other two wins on the road were against Northern Iowa and Wofford which are solid teams but this is a big test, similar to their game at St. Louis which they lost by seven points. The Spiders are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Rhode Island is coming off a bad loss as it fell to George Washington on Saturday by a bucket as a 15-point favorite, giving the Colonials just their second conference win. The Rams are now 8-1 at home where they are outscoring opponents by 11.1 ppg and a lot of this is attributed to a great defense that overall allows just 62.5 ppg and the Rams opponents are shooting only 37.5 percent which is No. 7 in the country. On the other side, while there is no one to take over a game, balance and depth is a key to this team as its top seven scorers are averaging between 7.4 and 11.7 ppg. The Rams are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. 9* (604) Rhode Island Rams |

01-23-22 | Bulls -3 v. Magic | Top | 95-114 | Loss | -104 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
This is a play on the CHICAGO BULLS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. Chicago was atop the Eastern Conference but has lost five of its last six games with Zach LaVine and Lonzo Ball on the shelf but the Bulls should have no problem here. The five losses came against Brooklyn, Golden St., Boston, Memphis and Milwaukee and Orlando is not even close to this group. While offensive firepower is down, there is still enough here to win this one going away. The Bulls are ranked No. 9 or better in all four key offensive categories and face an awful stop unit that is No. 28 in total defense, shooting defense and scoring defense. The Bulls are 22-10 ATS in their last 32 games as a favorite. Orlando has lost four straight games and possesses the worst record in the Eastern Conference and while the Bulls are down players, the Magic are worse off with their list of injured players. The Magic are 5-22-1 ATS in their last 28 home games. Here, we play on road teams after having lost five or six of their last seven games, with a winning record on the season playing a losing team. This situation is 35-12 ATS (74.5 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (567) Chicago Bulls |

This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS for our Big East Game of the Month. After a 0-3 start in the Big East, Marquette has reeled off five straight wins, covering all five of those games as well and are overvalued here because of this stretch. The Golden Eagles are 8-3 at home with all three losses coming against quality opposition and that is what they are facing again this week. This has been a very average offense as Marquette is ranked between No. 127 and No. 134 in all four major offensive categories. Marquette is 0-6 ATS in its last six home games after playing two consecutive games as an underdog. Xavier is on a two-game winning streak to improve to 14-3 overall and 4-2 in the Big East Conference. The Musketeers are 3-1 on the road with the only loss coming against Villanova, not a big surprise. They are one of the best teams in the conference on defense and should keep Marquette at bay. Xavier is 79-54 ATS in its last 133 games after a win by six points or less. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 after beating the spread by 30 or more points total in their last five games going up against an opponent after going under the total by more than six points in three consecutive games. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (837) Xavier Musketeers |

This is a play on the ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS for our SEC Game of the Month. Arkansas has won three straight games to move to 3-3 in the SEC after a 0-3 start and while two of those wins came against poor teams, a win at LSU cannot be discounted. The Razorbacks are 10-1 at home with the one loss coming against Vanderbilt by a point in a game they should have easily won. The momentum is on their side now and they are catching a good spot with a good number to keep rolling along. They are ranked No. 29 in the country in scoring offense and have a huge edge if it gets close. Texas A&M had won eight straight games until a home loss against Kentucky on Wednesday. The Aggies only road wins over this stretch came against two of the worst teams in the SEC and the one huge disadvantage is that they are shooting only 62.9 percent from the free throw line which is No. 349 in the country. Here, we play against road teams as an underdog or pickem that are averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after three straight games where both teams scored 70 points or less. This situation is 28-4 ATS (87.5 percent) since 1997. 10* (796) Arkansas Razorbacks |

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES for our NBA Friday Enforcer. Memphis is coming off a loss at Milwaukee to open a four-game roadtrip but it is in a good spot to get that one back. The Grizzlies have lost two of their last three games following an 11-game winning streak and they are now in third place in the Western Conference, a game ahead of Utah and just two and a half games behind Golden St. for second place. They are the fifth highest scoring team in the league and square off against the No. 22 team in scoring offense with both defenses being around equal check with each other. The Grizzlies are 12-2 ATS in their last 14 road games. Denver is coming off a huge come from behind win over the Clippers behind another big performance from Nikola Jokic with a silly 49-14-10 line. The Nuggets have been hit or miss this season as they are 23-20 on the season and while they are 14-8 at home, it is nothing special. The Nuggets are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against home teams playing with double revenge after two straight losses off a home no-cover where the team won straight up as a favorite. This situation 46-18 ATS (71.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (551) Memphis Grizzlies |

This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our Atlantic Ten Game of the Month. St. Bonaventure had a long layoff because of COVID protocols and won its first two games including its first home game in over a month last Friday against VCU but came up small in its last game at Dayton. The Bonnies are 1-1 on the road that includes a win over LaSalle and they are getting a much better spread here against a team that is only two points better in power ranking numbers yet laying four points less on Friday. The Bonnies have not suffered back-to-back A-10 losses since Feb. 26-29, 2020, and they have played the third toughest schedule of all A-10 teams. Duquesne has lost two straight games following a three-game winning streak and it too has had to deal with a long layoff between December and January. The Dukes are 1-2 in the conference which includes a bad loss against Fordham and most recently, a 20-point loss against Dayton at home where they are 3-4 with the three wins coming against Rider, American and New Hampshire, which are ranked No. 303, No. 328 and No. 230 in the nation respectively. The Dukes are one of the worst defensive teams in the country as they are ranked No. 330 in shooting defense including No. 339 in three-point shooting defense. Dukes are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Here, we play on road teams coming off an upset loss by 15 points or more as a favorite, with all five starters returning from last season.

This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Thursday Enforcer. Phoenix closed a four-game roadtrip with a beatdown at San Antonio which was the final contest of a four-game sweep. Since December 21st, the Suns have gone 10-4 but the schedule has been on their side as all 10 of those wins came against teams that are not above .500 and three of the four losses came against winning teams with the other coming against Boston which is right at .500. Phoenix has built a 2.5-game lead in the Western Conference thanks to this recent schedule break and the fact that Golden St. has gone 3-5 over its last eight games, five of those against current playoff teams. The Suns are 0-6 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Dallas has won four straight games and 10 of its last 11 to climb into fifth place in the Western Conference, two games clear of Denver and the Mavericks are just three games out of third place. The Mavericks are 14-8 at home and have moved up to No. 8 in the current power rankings which is big in this matchup as Phoenix has gone just 5-4 against teams ranked in the top 10. The Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last four games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against road teams with a winning percentage of .750 or better after three consecutive covers as a favorite, playing a team with a winning record. This situation is 84-47 ATS (64.1 percent) since 1996. 10* (530) Dallas Mavericks |

01-20-22 | Western Kentucky -1 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 69-78 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 22 m | Show |
This is a play on the WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. Western Kentucky is coming off a home loss against North Texas which dropped it to 2-2 in the conference and now it hits the road after a three-game homestand where it went 2-1. The Hilltoppers are 0-3 on the road, losing to very good teams in Memphis, Kentucky and Louisiana Tech, the latter coming by just one point. They are the superior team here and this number is lower than it should be despite the winless record away from home. Western Kentucky is 13-4 ATS in its last 17 road games after three consecutive conference games. Florida Atlantic is coming off a 29-point win against Charlotte on Monday which snapped a two-game losing streak and the Owls are also 2-2 in the conference. While the offense has been a surprise, the defense has struggled as they are ranked No. 276 in shooting defense including a perimeter defense that is ranked No. 348 in the country, allowing 38 percent from long range and Western Kentucky can take advantage of that. FAU is 8-3 at home but the Owls have played a schedule ranked No. 292 overall, which is the second easiest in the entire conference. Florida Atlantic is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games after a win by 10 points or more. 10* (755) Western Kentucky Hilltoppers |

01-19-22 | Iowa v. Rutgers +3.5 | Top | 46-48 | Win | 100 | 10 h 11 m | Show |
This is a play on the RUTGERS SCARLET KNIGHTS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. Rutgers is coming off a win at Maryland and has now won five of its last six games to improve to 10-6 overall including a 4-2 record in the Big Ten which is good for a tie for fifth place. It is 9-1 at home with the lone loss coming way back in November against Lafayette. The Scarlet Knights have some key advantage areas as they have an assist rate of 63.2 percent which is No. 7 nationally, and they are shooting 34.2 percent from long range and 67.2 percent from the free throw line which are both much improved from last season. Rutgers is 11-3 ATS in its last 14 home games after having won four or five of their last six games. Iowa is also on a mini-roll as it has won two straight games and six of its last seven to move to 13-4 overall and 3-3 in the conference. The Hawkeyes are just 2-3 on the road and this will be just their third road game in a span of over five weeks. They have been riding behind a potent offense but the defense leaves a lot to be desired as they are No. 261 and No. 239 in defensive scoring and defensive shooting respectively. They are overpriced in this spot having played the third easiest schedule of all Big Ten teams. 9* (712) Rutgers Scarlet Knights |

01-19-22 | Grizzlies v. Bucks -6.5 | Top | 114-126 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
This is a play on the MILWAUKEE BUCKS for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. Memphis had an 11-game winning streak snapped with a 27-point loss against Dallas on Saturday but rebounded with a 13-point home win against Chicago on Monday. This starts a four-game road game stretch for the Grizzlies which are a solid 14-6 on the season, covering 15 of those games. This is a great spot to go against them however after winning six straight road games and following a four-game homestand making this their first road game in close to two weeks. Milwaukee has dropped two straight games and four of its last five overall to fall into fifth place in the Eastern Conference but is still just three games out of first place and the home advantage has to get better with their 14-8 record. The Bucks are 5-1 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points with a winning percentage between .600 and .750 after having covered four or five of their last six against the spread. This situation is 82-40 ATS (67.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (514) Milwaukee Bucks |

01-19-22 | St. John's v. Creighton -3.5 | Top | 64-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
This is a play on the CREIGHTON BLUEJAYS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. Creighton is coming off a three-game roadtrip and lost the last two games against Villanova and Xavier which are two of the top three teams in the Big East Conference and are a combined 26-7 on the season. The Bluejays are back home for its first game at CHI Health Center in over a month where they are 5-2 that includes a victory against Villanova. The recent losses dropped them to 2-2 in the conference and now face one of the worst defenses in the Big East following a 50 percent shooting performance against the Musketeers. Creighton is 6-0 ATS in its last six games after having lost two of their last three games. St. John's is coming off a blowout win over Georgetown and it is also 2-2 in the conference, winning both home games and losing both on the road against Providence and Connecticut. The Red Storm are 0-3 on the road overall with the other loss coming at Indiana. Depth is a challenge as they remain down three players because of COVID protocols and they are hitting the road in a bad spot against a team ready to bounce back while playing their first home game in a while. This offense is very good but the defense is a huge liability as the Red Storm are ranked No. 300 in scoring defense and this is against a schedule ranked No. 234 in the nation and by far the worst in the Big East. St. John's is 0-6 ATS in its last six road games against teams making 45 percent of their shots. 10* (682) Creighton Bluejays |

01-18-22 | South Carolina +11.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 59-75 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 58 m | Show |
This is a play on the SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Arkansas is coming off an upset home win as an underdog over LSU to make it two straight wins which snapped a three-game losing streak and a 1-5 slide going back. The Razorbacks are 9-1 at home this season with the lone loss coming against a poor Vanderbilt team and while every one of those wins have been by double-digits, this will be a test being favored by double-digits against a respectable SEC team. The Razorbacks are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. South Carolina has dropped two straight games to fall to 1-3 in the SEC after a very respectable 9-3 record in nonconference play. The Gamecocks have a solid defense as they are allowing just 39.6 percent shooting from the floor which is No. 36 in the country and a strong defense becomes stronger when getting a number like this. The Gamecocks are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss. Here, we play against home favorites of 10 to 19.5 points in the second half of the season in a game involving two teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after scoring 65 points or less in two straight games. This situation is 74-35 ATS (67.9 percent) since 1997. 10* (617) South Carolina Gamecocks |

01-17-22 | Jazz v. Lakers +4.5 | Top | 95-101 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Monday Enforcer. The Lakers have lost three straight games including an ugly 37-point loss at Denver on Saturday and now they are back home where they are 14-11. Los Angeles has fallen into a tie with Minnesota for the No.7/No. 8 spot in the Western Conference which is ahead of the Clippers by just a half-game that are sitting outside heading into Monday. The Lakers had won four straight home games before facing Memphis which was on an 11-gme winning streak at the time and are in a good spot here to break their losing skid. The Lakers are 5-2 ATS this season as an underdog of 4.5 points or more. Utah is coming off a 23-point win at Denver on Sunday. The Nuggets had a depleted roster to the Jazz caught a break in that aspect as they won the fourth quarter 34-14 to open up a game that was a toss up through the first the first 36 minutes. Utah had dropped four straight games prior to Sunday and that included three bad losses on the road at Toronto, Indiana and Detroit. They are still a very solid 15-6 away from home and that is a big reason for this price and are catching the Lakers at a bad time. The Jazz are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite. Here, we play on home underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points in a game involving two teams allowing between 43.5 and 45.5 percent shooting, after three straight games allowing a shooting percentage of 47 percent or higher. This situation is 27-7 ATS (79.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (568) Los Angeles Lakers |

This is a play on ILLINOIS FIGHTING ILLINI for our CBB Monday Afternoon Dominator. Illinois is rolling along with six straight wins and after a meaningless win over St. Francis, it has won five straight games against major conference teams all by double-digits. The Illini are 6-0 in the Big Ten and while this is their biggest challenge, this is the smallest line they have seen this season as a favorite with the last one being a four-point chalk against Notre Dame in a 10-point win. They are 8-1 at home with the only loss coming against Arizona by four points. Illinois is 19-8 ATS in its last 27 games against teams outscoring their opponents by four or more ppg. Purdue has won two straight games as well as six of their last seven which includes a 27-point win over Nebraska in their last game on Saturday. The Boilermakers have not been covering the games they should be as they are 2-7 against the number over their last nine games with the two wins coming against Butler and Nebraska which are two teams ranked in the bottom of their respective conferences. They are just 1-1 on the road with that win coming against NC State that took overtime to get it done. The Boilermakers are 1-5 ATS in their last six games against teams with a winning straight up record. Here, we play on home teams as a favorite or pickem in a game involving teams outscoring opponents by eight or more ppg, after three straight wins by 10 points or more. This situation is 110-66 ATS (62.5 percent) over the last five seasons.10* (848) Illinois Fighting Illini |

01-16-22 | Suns v. Pistons +11.5 | Top | 135-108 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 60 m | Show |
This is a play on the DETROIT PISTONS for our NBA Sunday Enforcer. After a miserable run, Detroit is playing pretty well right now as it has won five of its last eight games and has played the elite teams pretty tough, going 21-9 ATS in their last 30 games against teams outscoring their opponents by three or more ppg. The Pistons have been miserable on the road but have been competitive at home, getting outscored by less than four ppg and they are 8-4 ATS this season in this price range. On paper, it looks like a mismatch as Detroit has one of the worst offensive and defensive shooting units in the league but it is not often to catch a home team as a double-digit underdog. The Pistons have won and covered four straight at home including an impressive win over the Jazz. Phoenix has opened its five-game roadtrip with a pair of wins against Toronto and Indiana to improve to 15-4 on the road. The Suns are now leading the Western Conference by a game and a half over Golden St. and they could very well be looking past this game with a Monday meeting with the Spurs in San Antonio. Phoenix is ranked in the top five in scoring, shooting, three-point shooting and free throw shooting, in both offense and defense which is pretty remarkable and that is an obvious another reason for this number. The Suns are a pedestrian 4-3 ATS as a double-digit favorite this season. Here, we play against road favorites of 10 or more points with a winning percentage of .750 or better having won six or seven of their last eight games, playing a team with a winning percentage of .250 or worse. This situation is 45-18 ATS (71.4 percent) since 1996. 10* (574) Detroit Pistons |

01-16-22 | Cincinnati v. Wichita State -1.5 | Top | 61-57 | Loss | -108 | 16 h 32 m | Show |
This is a play on the WICHITA ST. SHOCKERS for our AAC Game of the Month. Wichita St. comes into Sunday riding a three-game losing streak including a tough one-point loss against Tulane in its last game on Wednesday. The Shockers fell to 6-3 at home with that defeat and they have lost back-to-back home games for just the second time in the last decade and is looking to avoid its first three-game home skid since the 2007-08 season. KenPom ranks the Shockers defense No. 37 in the country in efficiency and they lead the conference in defensive rebound percentage at 73.4 percent and are holding opponents to 28.7 percent from three-point range which is the best in the AAC. The Shockers are 29-15 ATS in their last 44 games after failing to cover six or seven of their last eight games against the spread. Cincinnati is coming off a win last time out and it hits the road where it is just 1-2 on the season, the lone win coming at Miami Ohio by a single point. The Bearcats are off to a 2-2 start in the AAC that includes home victories over East Carolina and SMU with the losses against Tulane at home and on the road at Memphis. Cincinnati is solid on defense as well as the overall numbers are better than the Shockers but this has come against a schedule ranked No. 238 compared to a Wichita St. schedule that is No. 93 in the nation. The Bearcats are 0-4-1 ATS in their last five road games against teams with a winning home record. 10* (828) Wichita St. Shockers |

01-15-22 | Lakers +4 v. Nuggets | Top | 96-133 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 26 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Saturday Enforcer. We won with Denver on Thursday as it blew out the Blazers but we will be fading the Nuggets on Saturday in a much tougher spot. They improved to 21-19 overall including 10-7 at home which is solid yet unspectacular and they remain in sixth place in the Western Conference, one game ahead of the Lakers and just two games out of ninth place. The offensive outburst we saw Thursday was unique as they scored 140 points on 63 percent shooting and we will not see that again as Denver is ranked No. 23 in scoring offense. Following four straight wins, the Lakers have lost two straight games including a bad loss at Sacramento on Wednesday by nine points as a four-point favorite. That dropped Los Angeles to 7-10 on the road and it has struggled this season despite playing the easiest schedule in the league and a big reason for that is that the Lakers have played 25 games at home compared to the 17 games on the road. Since Anthony Davis went down with a knee injury, the Lakers are 5-6 and as mentioned, they are a game behind Denver and just one game clear of Minnesota to fall out of the playoff picture entirely. They have gone just 4-10 against the number when facing winning teams but that damage has mostly come at home where they are 2-7 ATS. Their six wins against teams ranked No. 23 or better are the second fewest in that group and the team having the fewest with five is Denver. Here we play against home favorites off a win by 10 points or more over a division rival, with a winning percentage of between .450 and .550 on the season. This situation is 36-11 ATS (76.6 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (535) Los Angeles Lakers |

01-14-22 | Mavs +3 v. Grizzlies | Top | 112-85 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show |
This is a play on the DALLAS MAVERICKS for our NBA Friday Star Attraction. Memphis has won 11 straight games to move into third place in the Western Conference while going 10-1 ATS in those games including eight straight covers. The Grizzlies streak includes solid wins over Phoenix, Golden St. and Brooklyn but for the most part, it has come against some pretty poor teams. They bring in the third highest scoring offense in the league, averaging 112.3 ppg and they have gone over that average in seven of their last eight games. One of those was against the Warriors and their top rated defense but they only shot 44 percent from the floor as they took advantage of 11 offensive rebounds compared to just four for Golden St. The Grizzlies are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as a home favorite. Dallas had a six-game winning streak snapped with a 23-point loss at New York on Wednesday. The Mavericks are now three games over .500 and this has pushed them into fifth place in the Western Conference but they are just two and a half games out of ninth place so it is a crowded bunch outside the top four. They do have a good matchup against the Memphis offense as Dallas is ranked No. 3 in the NBA in scoring defense and over their last eight games, it has allowed fewer than 100 points six times while allowing more than 90 shots only once. The Mavericks are 11-11 on the road, one of only five teams in the conference at .500 or better away from home. The Mavericks are 6-0 ATS in their last six games following an ATS loss. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 having won 20 or more of their last 25 games, with a winning record on the season playing another winning team. This situation is 41-16 ATS (71.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (517) Dallas Mavericks |

This is a play on the ST. BONAVENTURE BONNIES for our Atlantic Ten Game of the Month. This is the ultimate contrarian play with the Bonnies riding a 0-7 ATS run while VCU is on a 6-0 ATS surge and yet the Bonnies are favored. St. Bonaventure has endured what a lot of teams have gone through and that is extended time off because of COVID and it showed last game. The Bonnies traveled to Philadelphia to take on LaSalle in its first conference game of the season and it was not a pretty win as they won in overtime by four points as a 9.5-point favorite. St. Bonaventure was off for 25 days because of postponements and they were clearly not game ready but luckily they were facing one of the worst teams in the conference. This is their first home game in 36 days so we will see an inspired effort. The Bonnies are 8-1 ATS in their last nine games off a road win against a conference rival. The Rams are on a 7-0 run including a 3-0 start in the conference. The public loves riding streaks and there are two in play here which we gladly go against especially with the negative team laying the number. The Rams are 5-13-1 ATS in their last 19 Friday games. Here, we play on favorites after failing to cover the spread in four or more consecutive games going up against an opponent after successfully covering the spread in four or more consecutive games. This situation is 112-68 ATS (62.2 percent) since 1997. 10* (890) St. Bonaventure Bonnies |

01-13-22 | Blazers v. Nuggets -8 | Top | 108-140 | Win | 100 | 25 h 35 m | Show |
This is a play on the DENVER NUGGETS for our NBA TNT Game of the Month. Portland is coming off a big upset over Brooklyn on Monday which followed up a win against Sacramento as it concluded a 302 homestand and making it more impressive was the fact the Blazers have a lineup that has been put together on the fly. They were without both Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum for those five games as they will be on the shelf until at least the end of the month and while they have shown success without them, they now hit the road for the first time and with a 2-13 road record, this is not ideal. Portland is 9-22 ATS in its last 31 games against teams allowing 108 ppg or fewer. Denver has been one of the bigger disappointments in the league this season and when a big run looked like it could take off, it was stalled on Tuesday. The Nuggets were on a 5-1 run including a solid win at Golden St., but they lost to the Clippers last time out and that was a poor defeat against a banged up Los Angeles team without their two top superstars. Denver now returns home, where it has also been a major disappointment with a 9-7 record, where it begins a six-game homestand and based on most of the opposition, this is a great opportunity to make a big move. Denver is 40-19 ATS in its last 59 games after failing to cover four of its last five games against the spread. Here, we play on favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points allowing between 104 and 108 going up against teams allowing between 108 and 114, after a combined score of 205 points or less two straight games. This situation is 43-17 ATS (71.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (582) Denver Nuggets |

01-13-22 | Florida Atlantic v. Middle Tennessee -3 | Top | 57-70 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show |
This is a play on the MIDDLE TENNESSEE BLUE RAIDERS as part of our CBB Thursday Triple Play. We played against Florida Atlantic in its last game on Saturday and that was a mistake as the Owls went on the road and defeated Marshall by 13 points. They are now 8-6 but the schedule has been a joke as it is now ranked No. 329 in the country and while that could be a momentum boost, we are banking on the Owls regressing on the road. Of those seven wins, three of the eight were against non-Division I teams and they have yet to beat a team with a winning record. Florida Atlantic is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 road games after scoring 80 points or more. Middle Tennessee St. is 9-6 on the season including a 0-2 record in C-USA and it has lost three straight games but all of those were on the highway where it is 3-6. The Blue Raiders head home for the first time since December 19th and for just the second time since December 1st and they bring in a perfect 6-0 record. Their schedule has not been the toughest but it has been much tougher than that of the Owls and they are catching a great home price here. The Blue Raiders are 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Here, we play against road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points averaging between 74 and 78 ppg going up against teams allowing between 67 and 74 ppg, after a combined score of 165 points or more. This situation is 74-36 ATS (67.3 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (790) Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders |

01-12-22 | NC State v. Louisville -7 | Top | 79-63 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 21 m | Show |
This is a play on the LOUISVILLE CARDINALS as part of our CBB Wednesday Triple Play. We played against Louisville Saturday as it lost at Florida St. by nine points which snapped a three-game winning streak and the Cardinals fell to 4-1 in the ACC. They return home where they are 6-2 with those losses coming against Furman and DePaul which were uncalled for but they bounced back with sizable wins in their next game. Louisville has gone five straight games without a cover and that is adding value here as evidenced by the fact they were favored by 4.5 points at NC State in the first meeting and the line has risen very little. The Cardinals are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss. NC State is not expected to make much noise in the ACC this season and that has been the case early on. The Wolfpack have opened up 1-4 with the lone win coming at Virginia Tech which may be considered a significant upset but the Hokies have started 0-3 so not really. They are 1-1 on the road and catch Louisville at the wrong time. NC State has done nothing right as it is ranked No. 252 or worse in the country in shooting and three-point shooting on both sides of the floor. The Wolfpack are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games against teams with a winning percentage above .600. Here, we play on favorites in the second half of the season allowing between 67 and 74 ppg going up against teams allowing between 74 and 78, after allowing 45 points or more in the first half last game. this situation is 38-12 ATS (76 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (740) Louisville Cardinals |
