Miami at Boston 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Celtics- Miami still leads the East with Boston a close second one game behind with Philadelphia and Milwaukee in the wings. The Celtics have been high powered since the All-Star break as they are 13-3 SU and 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. The Heat ended a season worst 4-game losing streak with a win (Megabucks) Monday over the Kings and should stay hot as they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine road games and 15-6 ATS in their last 21 games as underdogs. Take MIAMI! |

Utah at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Clippers (+) over Jazz- Talk about fading as the regular season comes to a close both of these teams have found themselves headed south as the games pick up importance. Utah has dropped four straight while the Clippers have lost five straight and 8-of-10. Los Angels has fallen into the sixth spot in the playoff hunt and have lost both meetings against the Jazz this season by an average of 25 points. With this line being where it is tells me that theJazz are slipping more than LA. Take the CLIPPERS! |

03-29-22 | Washington State +2 v. Texas A&M | Top | 56-72 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 58 m | Show |
Washington State vs Texas A&M 9:00 ET Cougars (+) over Aggies- Washington State got here the hard way winning a pair of games on the road at SMU and BYU winning by 12 and 19 points respectively and seems to have caught a spark going 7-1 ATS in their last eight games overall. Texas A&M has had the best of it as a No. 1 seed in the NIT they sat at home and defeated Alcorn State, Oregon and Wake Forest covering the last two and being strong favorites in each game. The Aggies have been impressive ATS going 9-2 in their last 11games overall and are 5-2 in last seven at neutral sites. Although the Cougars are 0-5 ATS in their last five games at neutral sites they are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games as neutral site underdogs. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

Sacramento at Miami 7:30 ET Heat (-) over Kings- Miami is in the middle of a four-game losing streak and are now tied with Boston for the best record in the East. Lowly Sacramento at 27-48 has won three straight and fine themselves double-digit underdogs against a team with 4-straight losses. Heat coach Eric Spoelstra was missing last time out for personal reasons for just the third time in 14 years and they are 0-3 when he is absent and they are 0-7 ATS in their last seven. With that kind of record it is a line telling me that the Heat are ready to bust out. Take MIAMI! |

03-27-22 | Miami-FL v. Kansas -5.5 | Top | 50-76 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show |
Miami vs Kansas 2:20 ET Jayhawks (-) over Hurricanes- So, Kansas the only Number 1 seed remaining has the task of defeating a well coached 10th seed in the Miami Hurricanes who are 26-10 on the season. The Canes have been under valued all year as their 21-14 ATS record might attest. In Friday's win over Providence the Jayhawks became the winningest program in college basketball history and they are now stopping there. It's a tribute to Miami's coach Larranaga who has brought a team that is ranked No's 330th, 229th and 288th in the three most important defensive categories. Jayhawks can cease the moment and they will as they Final-Four awaits. Take KANSAS! |

Brooklyn at Miami 8:00 ET Heat (+) over Nets- Well, Kyrie Irving has received a 'pardon' and will now be able to play home games as the mask restrictions have been lifted in New York. With his game on the road the team will have all personnel available and if the season ended today these two would meet in the opening round of the playoffs. Miami had a 'heated' exchange between players and coach as they have dropped their last two at home and they are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games as underdogs and Brooklyn is 8-22 ATS in their last 30 games as favorites. Take MIAMI! |

Houston vs Villanova 6:09 ET Wildcats (+) over Cougars- With two National Championships to their credit in 2016 and 2018 this will be the third time in the past six years that Villanova has made it to the Elite Eight. Houston disposed of Arizona by holding the Wildcats to 25-points below their scoring average, but, these Wildcats present a different problem. They are now 20-6 ATS in their last 26 NCAA tourney games and have the discipline that it takes to win here. Take VILLANOVA! |

Iowa State vs Miami-Fl 9:40 ET Cyclones (+) over Hurricanes- Oh boy, this is a tough one as both clubs won ugly for 'us' already in the first two rounds. Iowa State has won a pair fo Tournament games where as last season the won just two game the entire season. The road for the cyclones in the tourney had them defeating LSU and Wisconsin with a couple of stellar defensive performances holding those squads at 54 and 49 points respectively. Miami is well coached and has committed just seven turnovers in their two wins over USC and Auburn. The Cyclones are 6-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and the Hurricanes are 5-15-1 ATAS as neutral site favorites and 0-5 ATS as NCAA tournament games as favorites. Take IOWA STATE! |

03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA -2 | Top | 73-66 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 37 m | Show |
North Carolina vs UCLA 9:40 ET Bruins (-) over Tar Heels- Golly, I hate to do this the way the Tar Heels have been playing but I must admit I didn't expect the Bruins to be favored by more than 1-point. North Carolina has always gotten the best of this series having won the last five and they are 10-3 all-time. The Heels average 78.6ppg and their defense has allowed 72.6 ranking them No. 279 while UCLA play defense and defense travels well at least better than offense and they allow just 64.3ppg. The slower pace can cause any team to get anxious and the the Heels are 7-18-1 ATS as neutral site underdogs and 1-6 ATS in their last seven NCAA Tournament games when underdogs. Bruins are 8-3 as favorites and 9-4 ATS min their last 13 neutral site games. Take UCLA! |

03-24-22 | Houston +1.5 v. Arizona | Top | 72-60 | Win | 100 | 24 h 49 m | Show |
Houston vs Arizona 9:40 ET Cougars (+) over Wildcats- Houston is the best 5th seed that I can ever remember seeing play and the oddsmaker seems to agree with me. Arizona is the No. 1 seed in the South and at 33-3 and is in a virtual pick-em situation against the Cougars (31-5) and that show respect for the Five seed. The Cougars feel that the committee slighted them with the seeding and have won 11 of 12 and is in the Sweet-16 for the third straight years while the Wildcats are here for the first time in six years. Cougs 12-3 ATS in the last 15 as underdogs. Take HOUSTON! |

Michigan vs Tennessee 5:10 ET Wolverines (+) over Volunteers- It has been a roller coaster year for the Wolverines and many never expected them to make it to the 'Big Dance.' Michigan was one of the favorites to reach the Finals and at 17-14 it was a shocker to be selected seeded No. 11 and defeated No. 5 seed Colorado State. After the suspensions and fights the Wolverines have rallied together and had a 28-point turnaround in their win and their confidence couldn't be any higher. Take MICHIGAN! |
|||||||

Portland at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (-) over Trailblazers- I am a bit confused when I see New York losers in 13 of their last 17 games are favorites by double-digits. When I see Portland has lost 7-of-8 and all but one of those were by single digits a 122-113 loss to Atlanta. The Knicks have blown nine double-digit leads one of which was to the Blazers who outscored the Knicks 35-11 in the fourth quarter and posted a 23-point come-from-behind win.

Indiana vs Wyoming 9:10 ET Cowboys (+) over Hoosiers- After spending the past six years like a dateless girl on prom night Indiana has an invite to the 'Big Dance' albeit a 'First Four' play-in matchup with Wyoming in Dayton.

Wyoming is playing in the tourney for the first time since 2015 while the Hoosiers are 1-3-1 ATS in their last five NCAA tourney games.

Phoenix at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Suns- Sometimes less is actually more as players step-up when needed as the Pelicans scored 130 points against Houston with their two top scoring players Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum sidelined.

The 'numbers' (trends) are one-sided lending support for Phoenix but is will be a stormy night for the Suns in New Orleans. Take the PELICANS! |

Chicago at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (+) over Bulls- Something is not right with Chicago as they seem to have hit a wall as their quality of play overall has fallen off. They had lost five-in-row and bounced back with a pair of wins over the Pistons and Cavaliers and most likely will be without Zach LaVine who is having back issues. The Kings have lost four straight and 9-of-11 while Chicago's DeRozan slumps and they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven overall and 0-4 ATS on the road.

Texas A&M vs Tennessee 1:00 ET Volunteers (-) over Aggies- Many thought that the Aggies would have had to win the SEC tournament to reach the 'Big Dance' but having won three straight including two victories over Top 25 ranked teams they know that they have already punched their ticket. Texas A&M will be playing their fourth game in four days with one of their games having gone overtime will start to wear down before this encounter is over.

New York at Brooklyn 1:00 ET Knicks (+) over Nets- Kyrie Irving will be in attendance this afternoon but he will not be in uniform for the Nets as the nonconformist is still afraid of needles.

L.A. Lakers at L.A. Clippers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Clippers- As of now the Clippers are the eighth seed in the West with the Lakers 4.5-game behind them in the ninth playoff spot. The Lakers have lost three-in-a-row and six of seven while the Clippers have won four consecutive games and six of their last seven.

03-03-22 | Iowa +2 v. Michigan | Top | 82-71 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show |
Iowa at Michigan 9:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Wolverines- Both clubs are on an upswing as Iowa has won four straight and seven of eight with the loss coming at home against these Wolverines. For Michigan it seems that 'less is more' as they are off another win while Juwan Howard serves out his five-game suspension but are only 4-10 ATS after a SU win. Although I look to play 'on' a team favored over a ranked team in this situation I like the advantages the Hawkeyes have with the 5th ranked offense scoring 83.7ppg while the Wolves rank No. 188 on defense. Take IOWA! |

03-02-22 | LSU +6 v. Arkansas | Top | 76-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show |
L.S.U. at Arkansas 9:00 ET Tigers (+) over Razorbacks- Arkansas has made a move winning their last four games and 13 of the past 14 games defeating four ranked team in the process. SU was ranked No.12 before it hit the skids as they are 5-7 since January 15 when they fell at home to these same Razorbacks. Arkansas is off an emotional 75-73 win over No. 6 Kentucky Saturday and may get caught in an emotional down turn here off their victory over the Wildcats. Take L.S.U.! |

03-02-22 | Hornets +3.5 v. Cavs | Top | 119-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
Charlotte at Cleveland 7:00 ET Hornets (+) over Cavaliers- This is sort of a 'East meets West' type of game where the top-rated defensive team the Cavaliers are surrendering just 102.7ppg while Charlotte is the No. 1 ranked offensive team scoring at a 114.3ppg clip. There is something happening to Cleveland of late as they were an underdog at home last time out while have a 17-game advantage in the standings and this one looks suspicious as well with this 'price' so cheap with the favorite. The Hornets are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 road games and are 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Cleveland. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Dallas at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers over Mavericks- When a team plays as bad as the Lakers are playing and is receiving the amount of negative media coverage that they are getting they seem to rally together. LA trailed the lowly Pelicans by as many as 32-points in an embarrassing 123-95 home defeat. Dallas rallied for a win at Golden State outscoring the Warriors 33-13 in the fourth quarter. The Mavericks have having a swell road trip but they are just 2-5 ATS in their seven meetings in LA. Lakers are 8-3 ATS following a SU loss. Take LOS ANGELES LAKERS! |

Kansas at T.C.U. 8:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Jayhawks- No. 6 Kansas still has a half-game lead over Baylor despite their 80-70 (Power Play) to the Bears on Saturday. TCU is trying to rise above the 'bubble' and upset No. 9 Texas Tech on Saturday as they have five wins against top-25 clubs. The Jayhawks lost in Waco has them at 2-7 ATS in their last seven road games while TCU is 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 games as underdogs. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN! |

02-28-22 | Syracuse +8.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 79-88 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
Syracuse at North Carolina 7:00 ET Orange (+) over Tar Heels- Having won their last three games the Tar Heels still have a shot at the ACC regular season title (a surprise to me) and need a win here tonight and again in their final game at Duke. Syracuse who will need a tourney push to qualify for the 'Big Dance' has dropped their last two including a 97-72 drubbing by Duke Saturday. The Boeheim trio are gutty and respond after a defeat and are 7-2 ATS after a SU loss and 11-5 ATS after a double digit loss. The dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and UNC is 1-5 ATS after an ATS win. Take SYRACUSE! |

Ohio State at Maryland 4:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- No. 19 Ohio State is off a huge win at Illinois Thursday having won their last two games and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Maryland is 13-15 SU and could be headed for their first losing season in 29 years. But, this afternoon they will honor their 2002 National Champions and that will add pride and incentive for the Terps. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings Take MARYLAND! |

Memphis at Chicago 8:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Bulls- Memphis who at times looks like the best team in the NBA has dropped their last two and now face the hottest player in the league in DeMar DeRozen who has scored 30 points or more in nine straight games as Chicago enters this contest winners of their last six. The Grizzlies have won the last three meetings and are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games after an ATS loss and they are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 as underdogs. Take MEMPHIS! |

Virginia Tech at Miami 3:00 ET Hokies (+) over Hurricanes- The last time these two met Miami sank a half-court buzzer-beater defeating the 5-point favorite Hokies 78-75. Since then Virginia Tech is 7-1 with their lone loss to North Carolina. It's Senior night in Miami and so many of them are going home in tears. The underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings and the beat goes on here. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

Philadelphia at Minnesota 8:10 ET Timberwolves (+) over 76ers- With or without James Harden all of a sudden the 76ers are a team to fade. When and where Harden plays with Philadelphia the mindset has changed for the core of the team but for the newcomer it will be more of the same. Break a teams offensive flow so that you can show your skills which just don't seem to click when it counts most. The T'wolves are 'comers' and with Karl-Anthony Towns leading the way they are a threat. Take MINNESOTA! |

Northwestern at Penn State 7:00 ET Wildcats (+) over Nittany Lions- Although neither of these clubs is in any real contention in the Big Ten there seeding in the Conference tournament extends a bye in the first round. Northwestern can clinch a bye with a win over the Nittany Lions who defeated the Cats at home the first week of January. The dogs is 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and Penn State is 8-0 ATS in their last eight home games. So, after defeating the Wildcats earlier they are a meager favorite here because they are in trouble. Take NORTHWESTERN! |

UCLA at Oregon 9:30 ET Ducks (+) over Bruins- Oregon who defeated the Bruins in LA has dropped 3-of-4 and are off an 84-81 loss to Arizona held UCLA to 39.7% shooting in the first matchup. Shooting seems to be an issue with the Bruins as that once again shot under 40% last time out against lowly ASU. The little bears don't seem to travel all that well as they are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games and 17-39 ATS in their last 56 road games as favorites. Ducks sitting pretty here get the win. Take OREGON! |

Atlanta at Chicago 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bulls- Things change although they may appear to be the same. Chicago has won five straight riding the coattails of DeMar DeRozan who has scored 35 or more points in seven straight games and all while shooting over 50% from the floor. But, the Bulls who defeated the Hawks at home as a -7.5-point favorites 131-117 are now despite the hot run are favored by 3-points less. Atlanta who has won their last two before the break is doing what they did last year, in that they were below the .500 mark and then they put it together in the second half. Playing better the Hawks are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games. Take ATLANTA! |

Xavier at Providence 7:00 ET Musketeers (+) over Friars- Providence managed to overcome a 19-point second-half deficit and defeat Butler but it wasn't good enough to cover as they fell to our Money Game winner. So, here they are the over-achieving Friars are the Big East leaders at 12-2 and here is inconsistent Xavier 7-8 in conference playing in what the odds-makers deem to be a virtual pick-em affair. The ball has bounced the Jesuits way and the pendulum swings both ways. Take XAVIER! |

Baylor at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Bears- It seems a bit strange to me that No. 7 Baylor who ranked No. 1 before losing to the Cowboys in mid-January are now trailing Kansas by 1.5-games in the Big-12. The Bears have slipped some as they have been playing with 40% of their starters down as both Adam Flager and LJ Cryer are down with foot and knee issues. OSU is 4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs and the dog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

The Wolverines are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as underdogs and the underdog is 17-6 ATS in the last 23 meetings. Badgers once of the worst 3-point shooting teams are 0-4 ATS as home favorites and are up against one of the nation's best 3-point defenders. Take MICHIGAN! |

Virginia at Miami 5:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Hurricanes- Miami has only three losses in ACC action losing twice by 1-point to Florida State and a 71-58 loss at Virginia. This might lead one to think that the Hurricanes would get some revenge but not so fast bunkie....The Cavaliers had won four straight before falling to Virginia Tech last time out and they are 6-0 ATS after a loss. Still ranked No. 11 on defense the Cavs surrender just 59.7 ppg and Miami is ranked No. 336 in defensive efficiency. Take VIRGINIA! |

The Buckeyes are 11-0 SU at home but will be up against the nation's No. 4 offense averaging 83.8 ppg. This has been a home and favorite's series going 7-3 ATS and 6-2 ATS respectively. Buckeyes are off a 25-point win over Minnesota but with find Saturday's action a bit tougher. Take IOWA! |

Butler at St. John's 5:00 ET Red Storm (-) over Bulldogs- Two of the Big East middle-of-the-roaders square off at Carnesecca Arena on the St. John's campus and that is a special home court advantage. Butler enters having won their last two after losing seven of nine is in a tough spot as the home team is 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings with the favorite going 4-0 ATS in the last four. Off a win the Bulldogs are 3-8 ATS their next time out while the Storm is 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall. Take ST. JOHN'S! |

Oregon at Arizona State 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Ducks- This one just doesn't look right! Here is Oregon at 17-8 and 5-1 SU on the road at ASU who is 8-15 on the season and just a meager favorite. Sun Devils coach Bobby Hurley's club has an upset win over No. 3 UCLA but are just 4-9 in Pac-12 play while the Ducks are 10-4 and tied with USC for the second spot behind Arizona. The Ducks have won 5-of-6 but are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall. ASU is 5-1 ATS after a SU win having won at Washington State last time out and are the play here. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

Dallas at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pelicans (+) over Mavericks- The Pelicans picked up an impact player before the trade deadline and CJ McCollum has been a huge contributor since his acquisition averaging 29.7 points in his last three games. Unfortunately for New Orleans they have dropped three of the four games played since his arrival in the 'Big Easy.' Dallas also added personnel from a trade with Washington as Spencer Dinwiddie aided in the Mavericks win over Miami Tuesday night. New Orleans is off their worst 3-point shooting game of the season and I expect them to rebound here against the Mavericks who are 205 ATS on the road against teams with losing records at home. Take NEW ORLEANS! |

02-16-22 | Mississippi State +6.5 v. Alabama | Top | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show |
Mississippi State at Alabama 7:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Crimson Tide- Alabama is back in the Top-25 after ending Arkansas' nine-game win streak on Saturday and they once again face the Bulldogs who knocked the Tide out of the rankings a month ago. State has dropped their last three and five-of-six as they face 'Bama's high scoring offense averaging 80.4 ppg but their defense ranked No. 324 allowing 75.5 ppg. The Bulldogs have a rich history of rebounding after a loss as they are 35-16-1 ATS in their last 52 games following a SU defeat. Alabama is 3-13 ATS in their last 16 games as favorites and 1-9 ATS in their last 10 home games. Take MISSISSIPPI STATE! |

02-15-22 | Villanova -4 v. Providence | Top | 89-84 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show |
Villanova at Providence 8:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Friars- Does this not seem out of whack as No. 8 Providence (21-2) is a home underdog to No. 10 Villanova (19-6) especially when you consider is that the Friars are 14-0 SU in the Dunkin' Donuts Center. The Friars have won eight straight while the Wildcats are on a 3-game win streak of their own. What makes this 'price' standout is that the Cats are just 6-13 ATS in their last 19 road games and Providence is 18-6 ATS in their last 24 games as underdogs. This one smells...Take VILLANOVA! |

L.A. Rams vs. Cincinnati 6:30 ET Rams (-) over Bengals- There is one thing that I can't get out of my mind and no it's not that Joe Burrow is a winner or that the Bengals have the confidence and 'Mojo' riding with them, it's that Cincinnati lost to the New York Jets. Yep! Burrow who led the NFL in a 70.4 completion record will be harassed by the Rams front and won't be able to throw while lying on his back. Los Angeles is playing at home although they will be considered the visitor and the crowd will not be an advantage with the way Super Bowl tickets are distributed. I've been to 23 Super Bowls and I would love to be at Sofi Stadium and just take in the atmosphere and energy that the game brings. The Rams have Super Bowl experience from two seasons ago while the Bengals have no big game experience and will be overwhelmed by the Rams defense. Take LOS ANGELES RAMS! |

Indiana at Michigan State 3:30 ET Hoosiers (+) over Spartans- A week ago Michigan State was atop of the Big Ten but a pair of losses at Rutgers and s home loss to Wisconsin has dropped them out of the conference lead. The Hoosiers have also lost two in-a-row as coach Mike Woodson benched five players at Northwestern for violating team rules, but he states that all will be able to play on Saturday. The Hoosiers are 7-2 after an ATS loss and the underdogs is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. The Spartans haven't played well as favorites going 1-6 ATS in the last seven in that role and are 1-5 ATS in their last six home games. Take INDIANA! |

The Timberwolves have made the playoffs just once in the past 17 seasons but are primed for the sixth seed which would help them avoid the play-in round. Chicago who has off to such a good start has been decimated with injuries and COVID issues are just 3-8 ATS after an ATS win. The T'wolves are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings and are 5-0 ATS following a loss of 10-points or more. Take MINNESOTA! |

Connecticut gets 'up' for road games against better competition and is 14-6-1 on the road against teams with winning records.

Milwaukee at Phoenix 10:10 ET Bucks (+) over Suns- A rematch of the 2021 NBA Finals as the Bucks and Suns meet for the first time this season. After dropping the first two games of the Finals last season Milwaukee rebounded strong to win the next four and their first NBA Championship since Lew Alcindor led the way in 1971. This time around the Bucks are led by super-star Giannis Antetokounmpo who is dominating play of late. Milwaukee after a slow start has turned it on and have won four straight and eight of their last 10. Phoenix is also playing hot and have won three straight and 14 of 15. so I question why this line is where it is. (so low). Take MILWAUKEE! |

Milwaukee at L.A. Lakers 10:00 ET Lakers (+) over Bucks- LeBron is back and the difference between when he is in the lineup and not is drastic. With or without Anthony Davis the key for Los Angeles is James as he posted 29 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists last time out and has scored at least 25 points in 19 consecutive games. I expect Russell Westbrook to improve on his 1-for-10 shooting and for the Lakers to bring their one down to the final buzzer. LA has picked up the pace as they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games. Take the LAKERS! |

Texas is now 17-0 when keeping opponents under 60 points and they are No. 1 in the nation is points allowed surrendering 54.9 ppg. Kansas is off a huge win and is 1-4 ATS after an ATS win and I believe that the 'Horns will be ready. Take TEXAS! |

Toronto at Charlotte 7:10 ET Hornets (+) over Raptors- The Hornets have lost their last four games three of which were at home as they losing streak as they have dropped from the No. 1 spot in offense. Toronto is on a five-game winning streak going 5-0 ATS. Part of the Hornets problem is the lack of firepower as Gordon Hayward has been out with an ankle injury and when he return to action he was 0-for-7 from the field. The Raptors beat the Hornets 125-113 at home in the first meetings of the season two weeks ago. Look for the Hornets to even the series with a home win. Take CHARLOTTE! |

The Hawks have won 8-of-10 and 12 of their last 16 and took down the Mavericks 113-87 hosting the season opener. Dallas is also heating up and has won 14 of their last 19 games. Considering how Dallas is playing and hosting the Hawks where the home team has won 7-of-8 this line is way short. The Hawks are 13-3 ATS in the past 16 meetings and one again get the cash.

New York has lost four of five and seven of nine while the 'Fakers' have dropped four of their last five and nine of their last 13 games overall. Anthony Davis is back but without LeBron James the Lakers are 1-4 in his latest absence.

Chicago at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- The 'line' on this encounter seems a bit shallow as the Eastern Conference leaders are very short favorite against a bottom feeder like the Pacers. This may well be because the Bulls Zach LaVine who was questionable last night but played 42 minutes and most likely will be rested in the second of back-to-back games. Indiana has lost seven straight and 12 of their last 13 contests. Chicago is 0-3-1 ATS in their last four road games and are 5-12 in their last 17 games at Indiana. Take the PACERS! |

Phoenix at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Suns- They are at it again...the Suns who already own the NBA's longest winning streak this season have now won 11 straight going 8-3 ATS. Atlanta has been playing well and just had their own seven-game win streak stopped by Toronto (Megabucks winner) Monday. Phoenix has had the best of it between these two as they are 17-8-1 ATS in the last 26 meetings. The Hawks are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games and get the money here. Take ATLANTA! |

02-02-22 | Hornets +4.5 v. Celtics | Top | 107-113 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
Charlotte at Boston 7:30 ET Hornets (+) over Celtics- Two teams that are off extreme results from their last outings as Boston won their second straight a 122-92 romp over Miami Monday while the Hornets were getting blown out 115-90 at home to the Clippers. I expect both clubs to move toward the center here as there was a difference of 55 points in their results. The Celtics won the first meetings in October 140-129 in overtime...turnabout-is-fair-play. Take CHARLOTTE! |

Golden State at San Antonio 8:30 ET Spurs (+) over Warriors- Interesting matchup where the 'price' is way too cheap. Golden State has won six straight games and are off a late game win at Houston and now scoot to San Antonio where the Spurs are lay-in-wait. The Spurs are expecting a trio of injured to return to the lineup as Murray, Poeltl and Derrick White will all play tonight. Golden State is still without Draymond Green and Otto Porter Jr will also be out. The Spurs have won seven of the last 10 meetings and are 4-1 after a SU loss and the Warriors are 2-5 ATS in their last seven road games. Take SAN ANTONIO! |

02-01-22 | Michigan State v. Maryland +4 | Top | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 7 m | Show |
Michigan State at Maryland 7:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Spartans- One of these two teams is hot and the other is not. Michigan State routed rival Michigan on Saturday with the bench outscoring the Wolverines 33-6 and their second stringers have outscored opponents 144-43 in their past five games. Last season the Spartans had a losing record in Big Ten play but still managed to get to the Final-4 while the Terrapins shot just 28.6% of its field goal attempts against the Hoosiers in their loss Saturday. By all right MSU should be a much bigger favorite and I believe the Book are telling 'us' that there is an upset brewing. Take MARYLAND! |

Portland at Chicago 3:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Bulls- Chicago is struggling to keep it together as injuries and COVID are beginning to take a toll. Without Lonzo Ball and Alex Caruso the Bulls defense has suffered and so has their overall play. The Bulls have dropped eight of their last 11 and face a team that has won five of seven on the road after starting 2-13 in away games. CJ McCollum has return to play and is looking to pad the Trailblazers 8-2 ATS record in the last 10 meetings. Take PORTLAND! |

01-30-22 | Bengals v. Chiefs -6.5 | Top | 27-24 | Loss | -130 | 46 h 59 m | Show |
Cincinnati at Kansas City 3:05 ET Chiefs (+) over Bengals- Can you envision Cincinnati in the Super Bowl...I can't! Don't get me wrong I like where they are and what the Bengals are doing especially with a winner like Joe Burrow. But, their time for this season is done. Kansas City has won 11 of 12 with their lone loss coming at Cincinnati as Joe Borrow passed for 415 yards with Ja'Marr Chase receiving 266 of those yards. The Bengals are 4-0 ATS in their last four as underdogs but are 2-6-1 ATS in their limited playoff experience, while the Chiefs are 6-0 ATS as home favorites and 6-2 ATS in their last eight playoff games. Take KANSAS CITY! |

Marquette at Providence 12:30 ET Golden Eagles (+) over Friars- Very quietly Marquette has won seven straight including four wins over ranked teams. The Golden Eagles (former Warriors) last defeated was a double-overtime loss at Creighton on New Year's Day. No. 17 Providence is 12-0 SU and barely have to give points here. Isn't this 'price' way cheap for a team that is undefeated as hosts. The Eagles own an 88-56 win over the Friars already this year and now they will sweep the season series. Take MARQUETTE! |

Toronto at Miami 8:00 ET Raptors (+) over Heat- Clubs that appear to be moving in opposite directions as Miami has won nine of the last 11 games while the Raptors have lost six of their last nine games overall.

Take TORONTO! |

Virginia Tech at Florida State 3:00 ET Hokies (+) over Seminoles- Florida State has shown that they can play with just about anybody defeating ACC leading Miami twice and Duke. Virginia Tech just dropped a game to Miami where they were outscored 8-0 in the final minutes dropping to 10-10. This line is way low considering the past performances of these two clubs so it will have to be done with defense. The Hokies are once again once of the leaders on defense allowing just 61.6 ppg and they will disrupt the Seminole flow. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

L.A. Lakers at Philadelphia 7:30 ET Lakers (+) over 76ers- In Joel Embiid unstoppable? He has at least 38 points and 12 rebounds in four straight games and he has elevated his play. The floundering Lakers fresh off a win at Brooklyn saw their defensive stalwart Anthony Davis return to action after missing 17 games and block four shots. Los Angeles was 7-10 in his absence and have struggled against teams with winning records going 6-14 in their last 20. 76ers are hot but still are just 5-11 ATS in their last 15 home games. Take the LAKERS! |

Arizona at U.C.L.A. 10:00 ET Bruins (+) over Wildcats- The best of the Pac-12 go at it at Pauley Pavilion where the Bruins will play before at home before a 'live' crowd for the first time since Dec. 1. UCLA opened the season ranked No. 2 starting but were blown out early in the year to Gonzaga in Las Vegas and have been scraping along ever since. Arizona has moved into the No. 2 spot nationally and is averaging 88.7 ppg also ranking No. 2.

Dallas at Golden State 10:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Warriors- For the Mavericks there is something special that happens when they go play at the Chase Center in San Francisco as they are 3-0 against the host Warriors. Dallas is 11-2 SU in their last 14 games as they have held 10 opponents under 100 points scored. But defense has been the name of the game of Golden State as they are ranked No.1 allowing just 101.9 ppg while the Mavericks are ranked No. 3 allowing just 102.5 ppg. Curry is slumping, Draymond Green is out and Klay Thompson is questionable. Take DALLAS! |

Write-in Game Chicago at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder (+) over Bulls- Five games before the season's mid-point the Bulls were 26-10 and one of the best ATS winners in the league but injuries and COVID issues have spun this team in another direction. Chicago was down to six players with 113 combined starts this season and they just haven't been competitive losing seven of their last nine in cluing a loss to the NBA's worst team Orlando yesterday. Oklahoma City has been even worse losing the last five and 10-of-11 losing at Cleveland yesterday 94-87.
