01-28-23 | Arkansas +7 v. Baylor | 64-67 | Win | 100 | 14 h 53 m | Show | |
Arkansas at Baylor 4:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Bears- There was a time this season that Arkansas was a ranked team but a four-game SEC losing streak dropped them put of the limelight. Baylor had their bounce back has them winning their last five including a 75-69 win over No. 5 Kansas on Monday. The Bears are just 3-7-1 ATS after a ATS win. The Razorbacks defeated LSU 60-40 on Tuesday and they are 12-2-2 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Take ARKANSAS! |

01-28-23 | Nuggets +3.5 v. 76ers | Top | 119-126 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 16 m | Show |
Denver at Philadelphia 3:00 ET Nuggets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid is looking forward to playing against Denver’s two-time reining MVP Nikola Jokic who edged out Embiid twice but also captured the starting role in the upcoming All-Start game. That has lit a fire under the 76ers center and his play has been of MVP caliber as he feels slighted an dis highly motivated. The Nuggets just dropped a 107-99 battle with the bucks on Wednesday without Jokic and he is probably today. But, the price of this game is a bit shy and the Nuggets are the play. Take DENVER! |

01-28-23 | Illinois v. Wisconsin +2 | Top | 61-51 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 6 m | Show |
Illinois at Wisconsin 3:00 ET Badgers (+) over Illini- On my goodness a dream come true...well, at least the way this one sets up. Wisconsin who I have said is an impostor (they can’t shoot) the pollsters had them at No. 14 but know they aren’t that good and promptly has lost five of six. Illinois as I also said was over-rated at the season’s start but have been playing better ball of late winning five of six including a 79-69 home Power Play win (-7.5) over these Badgers. Wisconsin had won 15 in-a-row in this series but have now dropped the last five straight-up. Badgers are 0-9 ATS in their last nine overall and haven’t cover a points spread since an OT win at Ohio State on Dec. 11. They win here! Take revenge...WISCONSIN! |

01-28-23 | Alabama v. Oklahoma +6.5 | 69-93 | Win | 100 | 12 h 1 m | Show | |
Alabama at Oklahoma 2:00 ET Sooners (+) over Crimson Tide- One team wins big and they other team play close but have been blow out at times. Alabama has a nine game winning streak and has won by double-digits in all but one and that was last time out in a 66-63 victory over Megabucks winner Mississippi State and still averaged over 20-points margins. The Sooners are 6-0 ATS in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and the Tide is 4-2 straight up in the Challenge and last season OU lost to then No. 1 Auburn. This time they are the money. Take OKLAHOMA! |

NC State at Wake Forest 1:00 ET Wolfpack (+) over Demon Deacons- Both of these clubs are stellar when hosting as NC State is 11-1 SU at home and the Demon Deacons are 10-1 with their lone loss coming at the hands of No. 10 Virginia still going 7-4 ATS. The Wolfpack is just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games and Wake Forest who lost last time out to Notre Dame and they are 9-4 ATS after a straight-up loss. Deacons won both meetings last year and the Wolfs get revenge. Take NC STATE! |

Toronto at Golden State 10:00 ET Raptors (+) over Warriors- The reining NBA Champs are struggling to get above .500 and are showing signs of emotional stress with out burst now coming from Stephen Curry. We expect that kind of behavior from Draymond Green but not from Curry. Golden State has won only four of their past 10 games one of which was their non-cover victory over Memphis Wednesday night and haven’t won consecutive games since Jan. 2. The Warriors 0-5 ATS last five as hosts. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
01-27-23 | Air Force v. New Mexico -12 | Top | 73-81 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 30 m | Show |
Air Force at New Mexico 10:00 ET Lobos (-) over Falcons- They call it, The Pit and for good reason as New Mexico has one of the strongest home court advantages of any NCCA basketball venue. The Lobos are 13-1 straight-up at home with their lime loss coming at the hands of UNLV back on Jan 7, but they have won their last three as hosts and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 as hosts. Air Force will have problems with the Lobos No. 14 ranked offense averaging 82.5 while the Falcons undermanned club scores just 68 PPG. Take NEW MEXICO! |

01-27-23 | Cavs v. Thunder -112 | Top | 100-112 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show |
Cleveland at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Thunder over Cavaliers- This match-up had me a bit perplexed as I consider both these clubs as money makers and I hate to play against either of them. Cleveland has won 2-of-3 including a 113-95 blowout win in Houston last night. But, thing don’t always carry over to the next day as the Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS following a win by 10-points or more and they are 5-13-2 ATS in their last 20 road games. The Thunder have picked up their play and are 8-1-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

01-27-23 | Grizzlies v. Wolves +3 | Top | 100-111 | Win | 100 | 7 h 19 m | Show |
Memphis at Minnesota 7:30 ET Timberwolves (+) over Grizzlies- This Memphis team to some must be real difficult to figure as they had just won 11 straight prior to this current four game slide on a five game road trip that ends tonight. Minnesota moving in the other direction had won 9-of-13 to finally reach .500 on the season. The Timberwolves have won seven of eight at home while the Grizzlies are 9-16 ATS on the road and are 4-10 ATS against team with winning home records. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-26-23 | Arizona v. Washington State +5.5 | 63-58 | Win | 100 | 11 h 18 m | Show | |
Arizona at Washington State 11:00 ET Cougars (+) over Wildcats- Arizona has got to be feeling pretty good about themselves coming of a home sweep of the LA schools UCLA and USC where they are 11-1 on the year. Not so much on the road where the No. 8 ranked Wildcats are just 2-2 SU (1-3 ATS). The Wildcats are also 0-6 ATS against teams with losing records. Washington State is a lowly 9-12 on the season but 6-2 both SU and ATS at home and are 4-0 ATS after a SU loss. Take WASHINGTON STATE! |

01-26-23 | Arizona State v. Washington +2.5 | 66-69 | Win | 100 | 11 h 10 m | Show | |
Arizona State at Washington 11:00 ET Huskies (+) over Sun Devils- Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley is a bit perplexed about his teams inability to win at home as they just dropped a pair to IUSC and UCLA where they are now 3-3 as hosts in Pac-12 play but are 3-0 on the road. ASU is 1-5 ATS in their last six games against winning teams. The last time the Huskies were at home they won a pair at games over two of the conference’s weaker teams Stanford and California. The Huskies are 12-4 ATS following a SU loss and get the money here. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Mavs +1.5 v. Suns | 99-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show | |
Dallas at Phoenix 10:00 ET Mavericks (+) over Suns- The Suns are finally shinning and have won four straight after having lost seven of eight to start the New Year. Dallas in the meantime are sliding out of contention losing seven of their last nine and eight of their last 11. Phoenix center Deandre Ayton has missed the last three games and is listed as probable and his effectiveness can be questioned. The Mavericks seem to have the suns number eliminating them from the playoffs last years and are 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take DALLAS! |
|||||||
01-26-23 | Iowa +2.5 v. Michigan State | Top | 61-63 | Win | 100 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Iowa at Michigan State 7:00 ET Hawkeyes (+) over Spartans- These two clubs started the season differently and now are moving in different directions. Iowa who was 8-6 on the season had won four in-a-row until getting pummeled in the second half against Ohio State and surrendered the most points allowed this season losing 93-77. The Hawkeyes are 7-1 ATS after allowing 90 or more points the previous game. Michigan State has lost 3-of-4 including an 82-69 beating at Indiana on Sunday.The Spartans forward Malik Hall has miss the last three games due to a foot injury and will be out again tonight. The road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings but the Spartans are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. No matter...take IOWA! |

01-25-23 | Grizzlies +3.5 v. Warriors | 120-122 | Win | 100 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Memphis at Golden State 10:00 ET Grizzlies (+) over Warriors- One week ago Memphis was considered the a top choice to reach the Finals from the West but now that they have lost three straight...not so much. Their current down turn comes after an 11-game win streak that vaulted them to a 5-game lead and the top spot in the Southwest. The Warriors handled the Grizzlies 123-109 on Christmas day by using a 40-point third quarter and they were without Stephen Curry. The Griz were crushed 133-100 on Monday by the Kings but are 40-15 ATS after a loss of 10-points or more. Take MEMPHIS! |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Raptors +3.5 v. Kings | Top | 113-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 40 m | Show |
Toronto at Sacramento 10:00 ET Raptors (+) over Kings- Sacramento is starting to put the rest of the league on notice as their wins are piling up and some are becoming more and more impressive. The Kings just annihilated Memphis (who many consider a potential Finals team from the West) 133-100 on Monday and have won seven of eight and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games. Toronto is starting a seven game road trip and don’t mind launching it in Sacramento where they are 4-0-1 ATS in the last five meetings and 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. Take TORONTO! |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Texas A&M +4.5 v. Auburn | Top | 79-63 | Win | 100 | 9 h 37 m | Show |
Texas A&M and Auburn 9:00 ET Aggies (+) over Tigers- Auburn is supposed to be red hot as they return home after a two-game road sweep and have won five straight and seven of eight. The Tigers have the nation’s longest home winning streak having won 29 straight as hosts and at 6-1 in the SEC trail Alabama (7-0) for the top spot in the conference and A&M after their loss at Kentucky are 5-1. Texas A&M has played well on the road and are 5-1 ATS in last six away games and the road team is 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Tigers are just 6-17 ATS following a SU win. Take TEXAS A&M! |
|||||||
01-25-23 | Hawks -116 v. Thunder | 137-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET Hawks over Thunder- Oklahoma City has improved so much in one season that when they win their next game they will have equaled last year’s win total. They have won seven of their last nine and have posted a win (121-114) in Atlanta over the Hawks in December. The Thunder are the leading ATS team in the NBA and are 30-16-1 against the spread on the season. Atlanta has dropped their last two games after a modest four game win streak and are 5-1 ATS after a loss of 10 points or more. The fact that the Hawks opened the favorite here gives me pause and directs me away from the Thunder. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Kentucky v. Vanderbilt +6 | 69-53 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Kentucky at Vanderbilt 9:00 ET Commodores (+) over Wildcats- The Kentucky Wildcats under John Calipari have had a philosophy of recruiting top high school players each season who will be one and done. This was a successful formula in 2012 when the Wildcats last won the NCAA Championship but has shown that they can’t sustain that any long with the new NIL rules. Vanderbilt has been steady and are 7-4 SU at home while the Wildcats are just 1-2 in true road games and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall while the Commodores are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Add that the underdog is 15-5-2 ATS inn their last 22 meetings. Take VANDERBILT! |

Oklahoma at TCU 8:00 ET Sooners (+) over Horned Frogs- No. 14 TCU is off a huge win 83-60 win at Kansas on Saturday and return home to host Oklahoma who have dropped their last two games and are just 2-5 in the Big-12. After big wins by 20-points or more the Horned Frogs are just 3-7 ATS in the following contest. The underdog has been a play in this series going 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the Sooners are 7-3 ATS on the road. Take OKLAHOMA! |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Bulls v. Pacers +2.5 | Top | 110-116 | Win | 100 | 6 h 52 m | Show |
Chicago at Indiana 7:00 ET Pacers (+) over Bulls- Indiana was cruising along playing decent basketball and was five game above .500 and then they started a road trip where they played five away games after a pair of home games and they have lost them all. The Bulls have won three straight including a 110-100 win over Atlanta last night. But, Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games against teams with losing records. Take INDIANA! |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Miami-FL v. Florida State +3.5 | 86-63 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Miami-Fl at Florida State 7:00 ET Seminoles (+) over Hurricanes- How about these two rivals whose history has been established on the football field as opposed to a basketball court but their intensity is carried over on to the hard wood. Miami was off to a 13-1 start but have dropped in the polls after losing 3-of 5 while Florida State started 1-9 but have won six of their last 10. The Seminoles have won their last two games and are 7-1 ATS in their last eight home games. Take FLORIDA STATE! |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Missouri v. Ole Miss -125 | 89-77 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Missouri at Mississippi 7:00 ET Rebels (+) over Tigers- This match-up just doesn’t pass the eye test or at least mine as 14-5 Missouri is a meager favorite against a sub-500 club (9-10) that is 6-11-2 ATS on the season. Ole Miss has dropped seven of their last eight games SU but the home team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. From what we see here it appears that the Rebels will post a win tonight. Take MISSISSIPPI! |
|||||||
01-24-23 | Ohio State +4 v. Illinois | Top | 60-69 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show |
Ohio State at Illinois 7:00 ET Buckeyes (+) over Illini- Both of these Big Ten squads have be considered a disappointment at this point of the season. Illinois was ranked as high as No. 6 during the early season polls but haven’t play like even a Top-10 or 20 team already having lost six games including a 80-65 home loss to Indiana last Thursday and have been sitting home rehashing the last four days. Ohio State had lost five in-a-row until their 93-77 home win over Iowa Saturday bringing their home record to 8-2. On the road the Buckeyes are 1-4 SU and ATS and the 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. road team is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. Take OHIO STATE! |
|||||||
01-23-23 | Kansas v. Baylor -130 | 69-75 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show | |
Kansas at Baylor 9:00 ET Bears over Jayhawks- I would expect that No.2 Kansas will take a huge fall in the polls as they lost twice this past week to Kansas State and then TCU by 23 at ending a 16-game home winning streak. Baylor is headed to the other direction after they dropped their first three Big-12 contests and have now rallied with four straight wins. Although Kansas has dominated this series going 35-8 SU but they have split games (3-3) the last three seasons. The Bears and Jayhawks have one thing in common as they both lost to Kansas State in overtime. KU is 10-0 ATS after losing by 20-points or more and the road team is 24-11-1 ATS in the last 36 meetings and the underdog is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. But when you’re hot you are hot. Take BAYLOR! |
|||||||
01-23-23 | Hawks +1.5 v. Bulls | Top | 100-111 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
Atlanta at Chicago 8:00 ET Hawks (+) over Bulls- Often times we in the handicapping world consider road trips and travel of a team as a factor but, how do you factor a road trip where their last game was played in Paris...no not Paris, Texas (been there) but Paris, France (been there too). Atlanta was on a five-game winning streak in the states until Charlotte handed them a 122-118 loss blowing a 19-point lead where All-Star Trae Young was 1-of-12 from the floor. The high flying Hawks have been ground in Chicago where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six meetings and the Bulls are 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven home games. But, the long trip from the other side of the Atlantic will take its toll. Take ATLANTA! |
|||||||
01-23-23 | Duke v. Virginia Tech -139 | 75-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 10 m | Show | |
Duke at Virginia Tech 7:00 ET Hokies (-) over Blue Devils- A couple of negative streaks abound here as Duke who have lost five straight to the number and has played better basketball for decades comparing this season to previous years under coach K. The Hokies are even worse losing seven in-a-row both SU and ATS to the closing number. Virginia Tech’s last win against a Division I school came over Oklahoma state on Dec. 11. Duke is 0-5 ATS on the road while Tech is 4-1 ATS returning home after three or more road games. Add that at the home team is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-22-23 | Knicks +1.5 v. Raptors | 116-125 | Loss | -120 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
New York at Toronto 6:00 ET Knicks (+) over Raptors- Both clubs are on three game slides of which New York’s started with a home loss to these Raptors. Toronto after that win at MSG went directly to Miami and then to Minnesota before returning home and losing to the Celtics.last night. The Knicks are trending in a more positive way than their record against the Raptors might indicate as they are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Toronto but they are 26-8 ATS in their last 34 road games including 17-5 ATS on the road against teams with winning records. Take NEW YORK! |

01-22-23 | Clippers +1.5 v. Mavs | Top | 112-98 | Win | 100 | 5 h 38 m | Show |
LA Clippers at Dallas 2;30 ET Clippers ()+) over Mavericks- Los Angeles has played the entire season like the previous two years and that is injury plagued. But, already three times this month Kawhi Leonard and Paul George have just played their third game together this month as they have missed playing together 41 times. The Clippers had lost nine of 11 before their return and now believe they can surprise some people the rest of the way. Dallas has dropped three in-a-row but a day after getting reamed by coach Jason Kidd for their lack of defensive effort scored a 115-90 win over Miami on Friday. But, I’m afraid that was a one-game effort and they will fall back once again as the line says that they are in trouble here as the Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last six meetings in Dallas. Take LA CLIPPERS! |

01-22-23 | Memphis +3.5 v. Cincinnati | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 3 h 5 m | Show | |
Memphis at Cincinnati 1:00 ET Tigers (-) over Bearcats- Okay, get this, Memphis is 6-2 straight-up in their last eight games but an unbelievable 0-8 ATS not getting even one cover. Cincinnati has alternated wins and losses over their last eight games and it is time for another loss. Yeah sure the Bearcats are 9-1 ATS at home in their last 10 games but they are also 20-43 ATS against winning teams. The road team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. Take MEMPHIS! |

01-22-23 | Butler v. Connecticut -15 | 56-86 | Win | 100 | 2 h 16 m | Show | |
Butler at Connecticut 12;00 ET Huskies (-) over Bulldogs- So Connecticut opens the season wit four straight wins and rises from the non-ranked to No. 2 in the polls and then promptly goes out and losses two games back-to-back and then five of six dropping them to No. 15. The Huskies are coming of a heart-breaking loss where they led by 17 points and for 39 minutes and 58.4 seconds before Seton Hall makes a put back for the win. This just the seventh meeting between these two with the Huskies 6-0 SU and ATS. huskies 8-3 ATS at home and rebound strong here. Take CONNECTICUT! |

01-21-23 | Virginia Tech +2 v. Clemson | Top | 50-51 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
Virginia Tech at Clemson 6:00 ET Hokies (+) over Tigers- Okay here it is! There is some kind of business (money business for the Tigers to open just a two-point favorite. Let us review the facts. Clemson who in 70 years in he ACC has one just one regular season title and no ACC Playoff titles is leading the conference (7-1) and is a perfect 10-0 at home. Now, the down trodden Virginia Tech is 0-6 on the road for the season and have lost their last six games overall and haven’t defeated a Division I school since Dec 11. So, why are the Conference leaders such a meager favorite at home against this pitiful club...I sure hope they are doing business...Money Business (otherwise we have no shot). Expect something unusual it is our only hope. Take VIRGINIA TECH! |

01-21-23 | Celtics v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 106-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
Boston at Toronto 5:00 ET Raptors over Celtics- Toronto returns home after a three-game rod trip where they opened with a win at New York but lost at Milwaukee and Minnesota. Boston of course won a come-from-behind overtime victory over Golden State on Thursday. Considering these two clubs overall record and past series results I find this spread to be ludicrous as the Celtics are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Toronto. Yet, the odds-makers tell us that this is a virtual pick-em affair. This one smells...Take TORONTO! |

01-21-23 | Baylor v. Oklahoma +2.5 | 62-60 | Win | 100 | 6 h 34 m | Show | |
Baylor at Oklahoma 4:00 ET Sooners (+) over Bears- No. 21 Baylor opened the Big-12 season with three straight losses and in the past 10 days have made up ground quickly defeating West Virginia, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech all of which have had better seasons. Oklahoma when down without much of a fight to rival Oklahoma State on Wednesday falling 72-56 and play 10 of their remaining 13 games against ranked opponents. Sooners 5-2 ATS after a SU loss and get the money here.Take OKLAHOMA! |

Marquette at Seton Hall 4:00 ET Pirates (+) over Golden Eagles- Seton Hall pulled off their biggest win of the season on Wednesday defeating No. 15 Connecticut erasing a 17-point deficit posting their fourth straight win. The Pirates are brimming with confidence and are looking forward to the challenge of another ranked team biting the dust. Marquette has built a decent resume going 11-1 at home but in true road games are just 3-3 SU and are off a home win and cover 83-75 over Providence on Wednesday. The underdogs is 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings. They play each other tough. Take SETON HALL |

01-21-23 | Virginia -2.5 v. Wake Forest | 76-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 46 m | Show | |
Virginia at Wake Forest 2:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Demon Deacons- This match-up seems a bit odd as wake forest who just handed Clemson their first ACC loss of the season and is 10-0 SU at home is an underdog to a struggling Virginia team that is ranked No. 10 (I don’t know how) and is 6-11 ATS on the season and 1-4 ATS on the road. The Demon Deacons ended a nine game losing streak to the Cavaliers last season so Virginia will start a new streak today with the No. 11 defense which only allows 59.9 PPG leads he way. Take VIRGINIA! |

01-21-23 | Syracuse v. Georgia Tech +3 | Top | 80-63 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 43 m | Show |
Syracuse at Georgia Tech 12:00 ET Yellow Jackets (+) over Orange- The Engineers from Georgia Tech better figure a way to get the ball into the basket. On a 4-game losing streak and 6-of-7 the Yellow Jackets come off one of the more abysmal shooting performances by anyone this season making just 2-of-21 from beyond the arc against NC State Tuesday. This is the third straight home game for Tech and they have had four days of shoot-arounds to sharpen their eyes. Syracuse who is nothing special this season blew an 11-point lead at No. 17 Miami losing 82-78 on Monday. The underdog is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings. Take GEORGIA TECH! |

01-20-23 | Boise State +3 v. New Mexico | Top | 79-81 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
Boise State at New Mexico 11:00 ET Broncos (+) over Lobos- I’ll always remember my first college basketball game at Madison Square Garden when I was 10 years old and the New Mexico Lobos were first team introduced and I learned that a Lobo was a dog of some sort. But this year’s cage club are not dogs as they average 81.9 PPG ranking No. 16 and are a stellar 11-6-1 ATS on the season. Their nemesis today plays a different style of basketball as they are ranked No. 15 on defense allowing just 60.6 PPG and are an even more impressive 12-5-1 ATS this season. When push comes to shove it is more difficult for an offensive to to slow down when facing a deliberate style offense. Take BOISE STATE! |

Oklahoma City at Sacramento 10:00 ET Thunder (+) over Kings- These two clubs are among the most improved in NBA action this season as the Thunder are just 1-game under .500 and are a leading 29-16 ATS this season. Sacramento has canceled their early May golf tournament and are now making plans for the playoffs. The Kings have won their last five and OKC are winners in their last four. Both clubs are hot but the Thunder are taking everyone by surprise and the bookies haven’t caught up with them as of yet as they are 41-19 ATS in their last 60 road games. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

His counterpart for the Trailblazers Damion Lillard has had a six game run scoring 44 and 40 in the last two and averaging 39 PPG.

On Dec. 10 as a 2.5-point underdog the Warriors handled the Celtics 123-107. These two mirror each other in many ways and they are No. 1 & 2 in 3-pointers made per game with Golden State making 16.3 per game and Boston is right on their heels making 15.6. They also mirror each other in their road and home appearances as Boston is 17-5 at home while the Warriors are 5-17 SU on the road.

Cleveland at Memphis 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Grizzlies- Boy, would I love to be in Memphis tonight as two really good basketball teams will play the game the way it was meant to be seen. Especially of course for Ja Morant because he belongs in the next higher league. I mean really forbid I say this but he has longer hang time than MJ. The Cavaliers have one weapon that can possible match Ja for points if not at lea for style and that is Donovan Mitchell but he pulled up lame in the 3rd quarter Monday and his status is unknown. Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS when playing winning teams above .600 and 21-9 ATS in the last 30 meetings and 4-1 ATS in last five in Memphis. Take CLEVELAND! |

Atlanta at Dallas 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Mavericks- Great fodder for this game is the comparisons between each teams Super Star who were drafted No. 3 Luca Doncic by Atlanta and Dallas drafted Trae Young No. 5 and they were immediately swapped for each other. Both have thrived as pro’s and both teams claim success and are happy with the results of the deal. Atlanta has won their last three games getting to .500 with the return of Clint Capella and have a fully intact rooster for the first time this season. Dallas returns home after five game western swing and only won once...when playing the Lakers. Sometimes thing just don’t seem to make sense like when one team for one reason or another always gets the better of the other and it is not always the better team with the edge. In this series the Hawks are 13-4 ATS in the last 17 meetings including 6-2 ATS at Dallas. Who knows why...Take ATLANTA! |

Yet, they beat the Wizards at home on Friday as a 3.5-point favorite 112-108 for the cover and now they are -6 after winning at Detroit and blowing another one at home to Toronto (Megabucks winner). Washington has lost five of six after winning five-in-a-row without Bradley Beal who as missed the past six games. Kristaps Porzingis returns to New York and it has been four years since the Knicks sent him packing to Dallas and now he is looking to show why the Knicks drafted him in the first place.

On the hardwood we would give the Buckeyes the edge but they come to Lincoln losing four straight games SU and ATS while Nebraska has lost their last two. OSU is 2-6 ATS in last eight road games and the Huskers are 12-5 ATS at home against teams with losing road records. And to boot the underdog is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Take NEBRASKA! |

The Aggies are off their largest SEC win since joining the conference in 2012 as they pounded South Carolina 94-53 as they out rebounded the Gamecocks 46-16.

Wisconsin has been known for their stellar defense which is ranked No. 31 allowing just 62.9 PPG but their offense has faded this season to No. 304 averaging just 66.8 PPG.

Texas at Iowa State 8:00 ET Longhorns over Cyclones- Boy, I hate to do this as I really like what’s going on in Ames as TJ Otzelberger has No. 14 Iowa State (13-3, 4-1) playing a tough style of defense that allows just 57.9 PPG ranking No. 7 nationally. This of course translates to ATS wins as the Cyclones are 11-5 ATS on the season. No. 10 Texas (15-2, 4-1) has had to fight through major drama as they lost their coach due to domestic violence charges. Iowa State just had heir six game win streak stopped at TCU but are 5-0 ASTS in their last five games while the longhorns are 1-5 ATS in their last six games. This should be a true test for State as Texas offense puts up 81.5 PPG as their inside game can dominate the paint. If the Cyclones have a weakness it is in their offense which ranks No. 205. Take TEXAS! |

In the trio of games with The Greek Freak sidelined Jrue Holiday has picked up the slack and had three double-doubles. Toronto finally won (0-3) an overtime game yesterday in New York defeating the Knicks 123-121 and they have already lost in OT to the Bucks two week ago.

The Jayhawks have dominated this series winning the last seven meetings and 15 of 16.

Although the series has been one sided the home team whoever they may be is 24-8-2 ATS in the last 34 meetings and State is 5-1 ATS in their last six home games. Take KANSAS STATE! |

Illinois at Minnesota 6:00 ET Illini (-) over Golden Gophers- I have been riding this Illini team their last three time out and they have won easily and I see no reason to deviate now as they have the mojo after a sluggish start. Much was expected early of Illinois and they just were not in sync but they are at their season’s best right now going 4-1 ATS in their last five overall while Minnesota is following an ATS win and the favorite is 26-8 ATS in the last 35 meetings.

Utah at Minnesota 4:00 ET Jazz over Timberwolves- Minnesota just never seems able to get it right year after year even when they go out and make what appears to be positive moves and trades there always seems to be something working against them. Right now their two Super All-Stars Anthony Edwards and Rudy Gobert are ailing and the Twolves just don’t have the depth to overcome their absence. Take UTAH! |

Miami at Atlanta 3:30 ET hawks (+) over Heat- Miami has won three straight including a pair of home wins over the Milwaukee Bucks who played twice without Giannis the Greek Freak as he was rested (I guess three days in Miami will do that to some people). So Miami has developed a false confidence that can be shattered by the high flying and sharp shooting Hawks who have won their last two and return home after playing six of seven game on the road. The Heat are 0-5 ATS following a SU win over 10-points. Take ATLANTA! |

Inconsistent New York has a 112-108 win over the Raptors that they posted 10 days ago as both clubs have a win on each others court. This line seems very low to me which makes me believe that the book-makers are giving the Raptors a good chance to win this game Rake TORONTO! |

Purdue who has lost but one game and they have been able to dominate enough to use their bench generously.

Dallas at Portland 9:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Mavericks- This feels a little risky if you are going to back the Trailblazers who defeated Dallas Friday night 136-119. In the contest Damian Lillard got the best of NBA scoring leader Luca Doncic netting 36 points and 10 assists while Luca was just 7-of-19 and 0-5 from three. Portland entered that fray on a six game losing streak and they closed as 4-point favorites and this time around they opened at minus-6.

At 12-4 they have a huge leg up on conference foe Michigan who is 9-7 is off a 93-84 overtime loss to Iowa as they folded in crunch time.

Thursday night Portland had them dead in the water and some how they caught fire late and won going away. Now they visit the T’wolves who are starting to play the way so many expected winning five of their last six SU. Minny has taken it to the Cavs going 5-1 ATS in the lat six meetings as Cleveland is 3-11-2 ATS in their last 16 road games. Timberwolves are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games at home.

No. 21 Duke (13-4, 4-2) will be hard pressed to remain ranked with a loss here. The Blue Devils rallied against Pittsburgh trailing by 11 at the half to pull away with a 77-69 victory. Clemson is 9-0 SU at home but just 4-5 ATS and this will be thew devils fourth road game and they have yet to cover away from Cameron.

Ranking No. 246 Florida State scores just 69 PPG while shooting just 43% from the floor ranking No. 241. Virginia’s defense is ranked No. 13 as they allow a meager 59.5 PPG.

Vanderbilt returns home after a two game road trip falling at Tennessee and Missouri but getting a pair of winning covers. Razorbacks issues arose when 5-star recruit Nick Smith Jr. went down with a sore knee and their 6-10 center went down for the season.The Razorbacks hold a deceive series edge but are just 16-16 in Nashville.

No. 17 TCU (13-3, 2-2) was cruising until a better than expected Iowa State squad beat them 69-67 with a bucket at the buzzer and they fell at Texas Wednesday79-75 blowing an 18-point lead.

Michigan State at Illinois 9:00 ET Illini (-) over Spartans- I am starting to see what it was that made Illinois such a highly rated team as they are starting to perform better on the court. Their last two times out they won and covered as Power Play winners over Wisconsin and at Nebraska. Michigan State who started 5-4 have won seven straight going 6-1 ATS and I think the points are an inducement to take the Spartans. MSU has a better record but the teams stats say different. The Illini are beginning to roll as they are 8-3 ATS following a win by 20 points or more and they are 6-2 ATS at home. Take ILLINOIS! |

Atlanta who lost at home to Milwaukee last night were without Trae Young and have dropped six of their last eight but expect the All-Star to play tonight.

Milwaukee who started the year 9-0 haven’t been so impressive since but did pull out a win at Atlanta last night out-scoring the Hawks 13-2 in the final two minutes. The Bucks will be without Grayson Allen who turned his ankle last night missing the entire second half. The heat have the leagues No. 2 defense allowing just 109 PPG while the Bucks who were the scoring leaders last season are averaging 112.4 PPG and are ranked below the top half at No. 19 offensively. Bucks are 3-7-1 AYS in the last 11 road games while the Heat are 4-1 ATS against teams with winning records. Take MIAMI! |

01-11-23 | Bucks v. Hawks +3 | Top | 114-105 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 17 m | Show |
Milwaukee at Atlanta 7:30 ET Hawks (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee is coming off a 111-107 win at New York where they erased a 17-point deficit and they are elated with the win as Antetokounmpo had a poor shooting night (6-15) and scored just 22 points. The Bucks were especially pleased as they did it without two key components in Serge Ibaka and Khris Middelton who are sidelined. I’m expecting a bit of a let down here from them and I’m looking for the Hawks to fly over them tonight. Atlanta has won two of the last three meetings and four straight at home and are 16-5 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Take ATLANTA! |

01-11-23 | Virginia Tech -2.5 v. Syracuse | 72-82 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Virginia Tech at Syracuse 7:00 ET Hokies over Orange- This looks a little funny to me as Virginia Tech who started the season 11-1 with a win over North Carolina has lost four in-a-row and now come up favored on the road at Syracuse. The Orange who had won seven of eight before falling to Virginia Saturday seem to be fading as the years go on like their coach Jim Boeheim ages. Why the Hokies to come up favored here is a mystery as they are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 road games against teams with winning records...so why here? Well, the Orange (a fruit of color) are just 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games against teams with winning records. Stalemate...Nah it’s VIRGINIA TECH |

01-11-23 | Indiana +2 v. Penn State | 66-85 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Indiana at Penn State 7:00 ET Indiana (+) over Nittany Lions- After struggling to reach the Top-25 the past few seasons Indiana was back among the ranked teams...until an 84-83 home loss to Northwestern. Penn State is off a loss to No.1 Purdue where they led by seven at the half and were outscored by 20-points in the second half. Unlike the gridiron where the Lions rule on the hardwood it is the Hoosiers who are dominate as they led the all-time series 42-13. Both clubs struggling against the points as the Hoosiers are 0-6 ATS in their last six and Penn State is 1-4 ATS in their last five overall. Take INDIANA! |

01-11-23 | Creighton +3 v. Xavier | Top | 87-90 | Push | 0 | 6 h 46 m | Show |
Creighton at Xavier 7:00 ET Bluejays (+) over Musketeers- Former Arizona coach Sean Miller has taken the reins at Xavier and he has already accomplished feats that the Musketeers have not repeated in 66 years. Xavier not only won their first ever Big East win at Villanova it was the first win in Philadelphia since 1956 (how bout dat). So, maybe you can see the X-men getting a bit full of themselves especially with a struggling Bluejays club that had lost six in-a-row, won three and then was upended by Connecticut Saturday. The Musketeers are 5-0 in Big East play for the first time and that euphoria won’t last long. Note that Bluejays are 9-2 ATS on the road against teams with winning records higher than 60% and the underdog is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings. Take CREIGHTON! |

Dallas at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Clippers over Mavericks- There are no one-man teams in the NBA but the Mavericks do have a player they can’t win without. Luca Doncic has missed four games this season and they are 0-4 including Sunday’s loss at Oklahoma City. On Sunday the Clippers lost their sixth straight to Megabucks winner Atlanta 112-108. The Mavericks are just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. LA gets a healthy cast of players tonight with the return of Kawai Leonard. Take the CLIPPERS! |

01-10-23 | North Carolina v. Virginia -4.5 | 58-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
North Carolina at Virginia 9:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Tar Heels- Virginia had won seven straight in this series until last season when the Tar Heels swept winning both games by double-digits. After a slow start North Carolina has won six of seven but are 0-3 in road games while Virginia is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games overall but are 7-1 SU at home with that loss to No. 5 Houston a week before Christmas. The Tar Heels were preseason No. 1 but a 4-game slide dropped them out of the rankings. The Cavs were ranked as high as No. 4 but are a respectable No. 12 but still burn money. UNC is 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games and Virginia is 0-6 ATS in last six at home. But, how bout dis the home team is 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 meetings. Take VIRGINIA! |

01-10-23 | Illinois -3.5 v. Nebraska | 76-50 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Illinois at Nebraska 9:00 ET Illini (-) over Cornhuskers- Yup, Illinois has been the model of inconsistency and I love it. We are a perfect 4-0 with and against the Illini including their win over Wisconsin on Saturday. The number just stack up heavily against Nebraska here as Illinois ranks high on offense, on defense , rebound and even where they are weak in free throws. The Cornhuskers have not been a factor in football for about a decade now but they have never been a factor on the basketball court and are not now either. The trends are overwhelming for the huskers so I won’t let you see them. Still, it is ILLINOIS! |

01-10-23 | Texas Tech v. Iowa State -5.5 | 50-84 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show | |
Texas Tech at Iowa State 8:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Cyclone- Iowa State is undefeated (3-0) in Big-12 action and it has been all defense under T.J. Otzelberger as they only allow 58.2 points ranked No. 8. They are also 8-0 at home with conference wins over TCU, Baylor and Texas. Texas Tech who was know for their defense is 0-3 in Big-12 play but have not been at full strength. The Red Raiders have won the last two meetings and 8 of the past ten. But, they are ailing and are 1-10-1 ATS in their last 12 games against teams with winning records including 0-6-1 ATS on the road. Add that the favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings. Take IOWA STATE! |

01-10-23 | Thunder +2.5 v. Heat | 111-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City at Miami 7:00 ET Thunder (+) over Heat- All of a sudden it looks to me like the bookmakers are giving much more respect to the Thunder. Last time out they were favored over Dallas by 4.5 and won and covered easily 120-109. Now, they are a small dog at Miami were the Heat are always tough. OKC is just 5-13 SU on the road but a winning 10-8 ATS. Miami has a mirror image record at home where they are 11-9 SU but just 6-13-1 ATS. The Thunder are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 road games and they are 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take OKLAHOMA CITY! |

01-10-23 | Oklahoma State v. Kansas State -5 | 57-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 32 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Kansas State 7:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Wildcats- The hottest team in college basketball has got to be Kansas State as they a have won eight in-a-row and the last three wins were over ranked opponents two of which came on the road. The 14-1 Wildcats were pick to finish last in the Big-12 and were un-ranked until this week and they entered at No. 11. That is a huge jump in any sport and they may not be able to live up to that now that they have gained attention. The Wildcats have scored 213 points in their last two games and will be up against the No.2 defense in the Big-12 allowing just 61.5 PPG. The road team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings and the underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six as well. Even with their powerful offense the wildcats are just 2-7 ATS after scoring 90 points or better. Take OKLAHOMA STATE! |

01-10-23 | Florida v. LSU | Top | 67-56 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
Florida at LSU 7:00 ET Gators (+) over Tigers- Now this makes no sense whats-so-ever as the 8-7 Gators are favored at LSU who is 12-3 on the season including a perfect 9-0 at home. The odds makers have not been giving LSU any respect at all and not just here they were made an 11-point underdog at Kentucky while the Wildcats were 8-4 and the Tigers were 12-1 (Cats won at final moments 74-71). Florida has been over-rated as much as the Tigers are under-rated and they have dropped 3-of-4 both SU and ATS. The Gators are 6-13 ATS in last 19 overall and and horrific 5-17 ATS against winning teams while the Tigers are 5-2 ATS against winning teams. The best thing that I can say for support is that the road team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings. Hold your breath and take FLORIDA! |

01-09-23 | Lakers v. Nuggets -9.5 | Top | 109-122 | Win | 100 | 9 h 13 m | Show |
LA Lakers at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (-) over Lakers- With a healthy Lebron James and an injured Anthony Davis sidelined the Lakers have won five straight a season high. LeBron it could be said is the MVP every time he takes the court but the reining two-time MVP is playing for Denver and Nikola Jokic has averaged a triple-double since late November and he is averaging 25.3 points, 10.8 rebounds and 9.5 assists and has had 10 Triple-doubles. The Lakers defense is No. 27 and the Nuggets will exploit this in the Mile High City as they are 4-13-1 ATS on the road against teams with winning records and are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six trips to Denver. The Nuggets has won and covered their last four at home and tonight make five. Take DENVER! |

01-09-23 | Bucks v. Knicks +1 | 111-107 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at New York 7:30 ET Knicks (+) over Bucks- Milwaukee at 26-15 may seem to be on track but they have been terribly inconsistent this season especially on defense. It is hard to play defense night in and night out and the Bucks after being in the top three last season has dropped to No. 11 allowing 112 points per game. The last time out the Bucks allowed an NBA record 51 first quarter points to lowly Charlotte. New York has been streaky all season and currently have won their last four and are 9-2-1 ATS after a straight up win while the Bucks are 2-6 ATS after scoring 100 points or more the previous game and they are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. Take NEW YORK! |

01-09-23 | Bulls v. Celtics -8 | 99-107 | Push | 0 | 8 h 44 m | Show | |
Chicago at Boston 7:30 ET Celtics (-) over Bulls- Boston is the only NBA club with a 70% winning average and are feeling good about their last two game a pair of wins in Texas over Dallas and San Antonio. Chicago has won their last two games and although the Bulls lost their first meeting this season the responded at Boston they snapped the Celtics season long nine-game winning streak with 121-107 home victory. Boston has the leagues top offense averaging 118.8 PPG. and the Bulls defense is ranked No. 20. so look for the Celts to take advantage as Chicago is 7-16 ATS on the road against teams winning 60% or more. Take BOSTON! |

Atlanta at LA Clippers 9:00 ET Hawks (+) over Clippers- LA understands that they and will play with and without key players for the season. Paul George, Kawai Leonard, Luke Kennard and Norman Powell are excluded from playing more than a few games in a row and they never really have a full squad ready to play. The Hawks themselves have lost five of six and their run of four consecutive California games ends here with a win. Hawks are 4-1 ATS following a loss of 10-points while the Clippers are 1-4 ATS after a loss of 10-points. Take ATLANTA |

Minnesota at Houston 7:00 ET Rockets (+) over Timberwolves- Minnesota who is on just their third 3-game win streak has been one of the more disappointing teams in the NBA (at least in my eyes) as their off-season moves may have ruined a working chemistry.They have had five losing streaks of three or more this season. Houston who is so young have shown flashes of talent despite losing their last eight games and 11-of-12. Whoa, they better start putting something together soon...like right now, tonight! The Rockets actually have a better overall ATS then do the T’wolves at 19-20 while Minny is 17-23. Take HOUSTON |

01-08-23 | Nets v. Heat +3.5 | 102-101 | Win | 100 | 6 h 39 m | Show | |
Brooklyn at Miami 6:00 ET Heat (+) over Nets- I have said it before and I still can not get bye my disdain for some of the talent on the Brooklyn Nets and having a bias in this business does not lead to winners. But we forge ahead because the numbers call for it and so does the situation. The Nets winners in 13 of their last 14 led by Kevin Durant who has just taken over the offense with Kyrie Irvins just trying to not get to close to the edge of the earth. The Heat are 9-4 in their last 13 and will a healthy Jimmy Butler to harass Durant the best he could. The Heat return home after a five-game 10 day western road swing. Take MIAMI! |

Purdue at Penn State 6:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Boilermakers- We have been against the Boilermakers twice since they were deemed No. 1 in the country and we are 2-0 in those two contests and they say that the third time is a charm so once again we will take the points with the home underdog. The Boilermakers are 7-18-3 ATS overall and 6-17-3 ATS in their last 26 after a SU win. Lions 24-11-1 ATS in last 36 games overall. Take PENN STATE! |

Ohio State at Maryland 1:00 ET Terrapins (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio State is off a heartbreaking loss to No. 1 Purdue on a 3-pointer at the buzzer where as Maryland is coming off a pair of losses to Michigan and Rutgers by a combined 51 points and two games before this they were routed by UCLA 87-60. Maryland coach Kevin Willard says a loss is a loss and not to well on the losses but rediscover their play from when they were 8-0 and ranked No. 13. I expect the Buckeyes to be down trodden and for the Terrapins to be ready to play. Take MARYLAND! |

LA Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET Kings (-) over Lakers- Break up the Lakers...winners of four straight are making a move, yeah right! Sacramento who at 3-games over .500 at this point of the season have their best record in 17 seasons. LA still has Lebron James preforming at an incredible pace for a 20 year veteran and still is posting double-doubles and even numerous Triple-double on a consistent basis for a fundamentally flawed team. The kings are 2-0 against LA this season and have won the last three meetings. The beat goes on. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Detroit at San Antonio 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Spurs- A pair of basement dwellers go at it here as the Spurs come back home after a loss at New York and losses in 5-of-7. Detroit just hit a buzzer beater to defeat Golden State who were playing with a skeleton crew as injuries sidelined numerous players. Although the Piston are still subpar they are 10-11-1 ATS on the road while the Spurs are 7-13 SU at home and are 2-9 ATS against teams with losing records. Pistons are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 road games and are 7-2 in last nine road games against teams with losing records. Take DETROIT! |
