02-09-18 | Pelicans v. 76ers -5.5 | 82-100 | Win | 100 | 19 h 43 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -5.5 The 76ers have been one of the worst teams in the past seasons, resulting in many first round picks. Fast forward to present day and the 76ers a legit contender heading into Friday night. Philadelphia has proven to have one of the best offensive teams in the NBA as they put up 110 points per game and have one of the most exciting cores in the NBA. They provide such a threat with their inside out game and their ability to push the ball has proven to really open a lot of things up. Meanwhile, they see a New Orleans team that has just struggled. They continue to be one of the worst in the NBA, giving up 111 points per game. Some trends to note. 76ers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. 76ers are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 Friday games. The 76ers are hot in this situational spot. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-08-18 | UCLA v. Arizona OVER 157.5 | 82-74 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
UCLA vs. Arizona Over 157.5 The UCLA Bruins are the best offense in the Pac 12. UCLA is averaging a whopping 1.173 points per possession against conference foes. UCLA has shooters all over the place. They are shooting 40% from beyond the arc. They also do a great job taking care of the basketball on the offensive end. Arizona ranks second in the Pac 12 in offense. The Wildcats are averaging 1.162 points per possession in conference play. This Wildcats offense has gotten better in recent weeks. Normally, we think of Arizona as a defensive-minded team, but that isn't the case this year. Arizona is 105th in the nation in defensive efficiency. UCLA is 137th. The pace will be there. Arizona is looking to push much more frequently this year, and UCLA always wants to run at every opportunity. Look for an up and down game where both teams put up a big number. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB O/U Play |

02-08-18 | Wisconsin v. Illinois -4.5 | 78-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 30 m | Show | |
Illinois -4.5 Illinois has a chance to avenge their horrible loss from earlier this season in Wisconsin on Thursday night. This is the perfect spot here as the Badgers have been completely flopping as of late. This team has dropped 5 straight games and they have not looked anywhere near figuring things out. The road has also been a horrible place for them. The Badgers are just 1-8 in road situations and are putting up just 57.3 points in those spots. This is a chance for Illinois to really put the pressure on early. They have played very well at home and have seen their offensive numbers jump up to 83 points per game when playing inside their own building. Some trends to note. Badgers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Thursday games. Badgers are 1-6-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a ATS win. Lay the points. Back Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-08-18 | Hawks +3.5 v. Magic | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Atlanta +3.5 The Hawks are in a prime spot to pick the Magic off here on Thursday night. Orlando comes in on a huge high here, as they erased a 21 point deficit to the Cavaliers last time out as they ended up blowing them away. This is a prime let down spot here though, as they take on a much lower team that actually hasn't played all that bad lately. The Hawks have won back to back games they've looked rather impressive on both ends of the floor in their wins over New York and Memphis. Atlanta is searching for their first 3 game winning streak of the season, as they're playing with the most confidence they've maybe had all season. Some trends to note. Magic are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Southeast. Magic are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Look for Atlanta to really try to frustrate these Magic shooters, something they've done well in both their recent wins. Back Atlanta. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-07-18 | Ohio State v. Purdue -9.5 | 64-63 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 53 m | Show | |
Purdue -9.5 Laying the points with the home side here is the move on Wednesday night. Purdue at home is one of the hardest things to compete with. This team plays with extreme confidence inside their own building and opposing teams typically struggle on both sides of the ball. Purdue has won 21 straight at home and 14 overall this season. What Purdue is doing to teams this season has been really impressive as well. They have won 9 games by 25 or more this season as they continue to wear the opposition down and keep the foot on the gas continuously. They matchup well with this Ohio State team that doesn't play with near enough pace to keep up. Some trends to note. Boilermakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Boilermakers are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 home games. Purdue is just too talented. Back Purdue. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-07-18 | Wolves v. Cavs +4 | 138-140 | Win | 100 | 8 h 1 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +4 The Cavaliers were embarrassed on Tuesday night and this is a prime spot to bounce back. It's no secret things are bad in Cleveland right now. The team is in shambles, rumors continue fly, things are just stressful. However, this team is built with veterans and players who have been through plenty of adversity. Cleveland grabbing points, at home, is a rare sight as well. The Cavaliers matchup well here too. Minnesota is a younger team that really lacks defensive efforts at times. They struggle to close out on shooters and allow a lot of easy transition buckets. Look for Cleveland to attack early and often here, really pushing the Timberwolves back on their heels. Some trends to note. Minnesota is 1-6 straight up in its last 7 games when playing the Cavs, and are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings, and are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 road games. Grab the points here. Cleveland is not this bad of a team by any means and eventually the frustrations are going to turn into anger, where we see a fire light underneath them. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

02-07-18 | Bradley v. Northern Iowa UNDER 123 | 65-74 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
Bradley vs. Northern Iowa Under 123 The Bradley Braves offense has been pretty good overall this year, especially compared to their performance in the previous couple seasons. If you look closer at their numbers though, you'll see that their road numbers are terrible. It is at home that they have been able to put up some impressive totals. Northern Iowa is a great under team for several reasons. First, they slow the tempo down drastically. They rank 345th in the nation in pace. Northern Iowa also rarely gets to the line and almost never fouls on defense. Northern Iowa is very inefficient on offense, but they are a strong defensive squad. This is a Bradley defense that switches up their defenses well, and they have a lot of athleticism and length on defense that should give Northern Iowa's shooters trouble in this one. The MVC is a defensive-minded conference. This total is low, but not low enough. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

02-07-18 | St. John's v. Villanova -17 | 79-75 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 20 m | Show | |
Villanova -17 The Wildcats welcome in St. Johns on Wednesday night and this is a prime spot for St. Johns to overlook a lot of things here. St. Johns comes in after upsetting the #4 team in the nation on Saturday as they took down Duke. After a huge, home win like that, this is a prime spot to see a let down against Villanova. Villanova is in pursuit of their 10th straight win and 7 of their last 9 have been blowout victories. This team is one of the most complete teams in the nation, top to bottom, as they can beat you in so many ways. Whether it be with their high pressured defense that cause a lot of turnovers, or the offensive ball movement that creates a lot of open shots. Some trends to note. Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Red Storm are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Expect quite the let down here, as Villanova will get out early and run away with this one. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-06-18 | Thunder v. Warriors OVER 230 | 125-105 | Push | 0 | 22 h 1 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City vs. Golden State Over 230 Two teams who have some of the top players in the NBA meet on Tuesday inside Oracle Arena. This one should provide us with plenty of fireworks and entertainment given what both sides have. Some predicted this to be the Conference Finals matchup earlier this season, as the stars like Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant take the floor here. Both of these teams can produce a lot on the offensive end. The Thunder have started to really turn things up lately on the offensive end. They are attacking much earlier in the shot clock and providing a lot of pressure at the rim. Along with that, you know what you'll get out of Golden State. This team averages 116 points per game and they can score rather quickly and in bursts. Some trends to note. Over is 9-3 in Warriors last 12 vs. Western Conference. Over is 5-1 in Warriors last 6 home games. Look for plenty of action here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play |

02-06-18 | South Carolina +7 v. Arkansas | 65-81 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
South Carolina +7 The South Carolina Gamecocks have been a really feisty ever since Frank Martin took over. They haven't played well the last couple games. They have certainly gotten an earful from their head coach during this time. They should be much better in this one. South Carolina has shown they are more than capable of winning in tough environments. They have already won at Florida just a few games ago. Arkansas hasn't been winning by this kind of margin at all in SEC play. The Razorbacks defense is so bad that opponents can almost always keep the game very close. The Razorbacks are no longer forcing turnovers at the kind of clip they did in the past, and without those turnovers this defense isn't good. South Carolina is a gritty team that should fight right down to the wire here. Grab the points on the underdog. Back South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-05-18 | Syracuse v. Louisville -7 | 78-73 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Louisville -7 The Cardinals laying points at home here a valuable move on Monday night. Syracuse limps into this matchup and that is simply not something you want to do when heading into Louisville. The Orange have dropped back to back games and their top two scorings in Battle and Howard are really struggling from the floor. That doesn't bode well here for them, given the way Louisville has played at home this season. The Cardinals are averaging 82 points per game versus just the 67 they give up and they have gone 13-2 in home situations overall. Some trends to note Orange are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Orange are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall. Louisville should be able to really create issues here for Syracuse with their high pressure. Back Louisville. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-04-18 | Hornets v. Suns OVER 218.5 | 115-110 | Win | 100 | 4 h 58 m | Show | |
Charlotte vs. Phoenix Over 218 Two teams who play little defense meet on Sunday, giving this Over a lot of value. Both defenses have been horrific this season. The Hornets come into this one allowing 106 points per game, as they just continue to struggle to slow anyone down. They allow easy looks in transition and continue to allow the opposition to push the tempo, really putting them on their heels. Phoenix has been even worse. The Suns are conceding 112 points per game, one of the worst marks in the league. Things hit an all time low for them, allowing 129 points last time out to a Jazz team that simply doesn’t play with any pace at all. Some trends to note. Over is 5-0 in the last 5 meetings. Given the series history and how both teams play, this Over makes sense. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play |

02-04-18 | Temple -2.5 v. Tulane | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Temple -2.5 The Tulane Green Wave upset Temple 85-75 at Temple as big underdogs earlier this year. Here is Temple's chance for revenge on the road. The Owls have played much better of late. Temple has a nice road win at SMU, a close road loss against a solid Houston team, and their win against Wichita State. The Green Wave haven't been consistent at all this year. Tulane has lost at home to UConn (not a good team this year), South Florida, and Tulsa. Temple overlooked Tulane in their first meeting, but I doubt they make the same mistake here. Temple is a veteran team and they were thumped at home by a team with less talent than them. Now, they get a chance to go on the road and prove they are the better team and get a nice dose of revenge. Expect them to take care of business here. Take Temple. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-03-18 | San Francisco -4.5 v. Santa Clara | 70-59 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show | |
San Francisco -4.5 The San Francisco Dons are playing with revenge on their minds against Santa Clara. San Francisco has been the much better team most of the year, but they slipped up at home against Santa Clara earlier this year due to an ugly shooting night. It happens to everyone, but for it to happen against a Santa Clara defense that ranks near the bottom of the nation in defensive stats is pretty rare. San Francisco would love to go on the road and get revenge in a solid way here. The oddsmakers appear to be tipping their hand a bit here with the Dons being decent sized road chalk. San Francisco is healthier than Santa Clara, and they have had some good performances on the road. Santa Clara's homecourt advantage is one of the smallest in the West Coast Conference. Lay it with San Francisco as they get revenge on their hated rivals. Back San Francisco. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-03-18 | Pelicans v. Wolves -8.5 | 107-118 | Win | 100 | 12 h 31 m | Show | |
Minnesota -8.5 The Timberwolves are a nice move for us here on Saturday night. Minnesota is just red hot at home right now. They extended their winning streak to 11 games inside the Target Center with their win over Milwaukee last time out. This team is playing with extreme confidence and it stems from their pace of play. Minnesota is averaging 110 points per game this season at home as they attack early and often on possessions. That is something New Orleans will certainly struggle with here on Saturday, as they are one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Saturday games. Timberwolves are 9-0 ATS in their last 9 home games. This team is just too hot to pass up on. Lay the points. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-03-18 | Northern Kentucky -12 v. Cleveland State | 78-61 | Win | 100 | 21 h 3 m | Show | |
Northern Kentucky -12 Northern Kentucky is in a nice spot here on Saturday in Cleveland State. Cleveland State comes in off a huge, upset win, over Wright State on Thursday night. Here, this is certainly a let down spot for them against one of the best teams in the conference. Northern Kentucky is just going to be too overwhelming on both sides of the floor. They are averaging nearly 80 points per game, compared to just the 67.5 they give up. They are a quick team that can hit you with bursts, something Cleveland State really doesn't have. Some trends to note. Norse are 9-3-2 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 19-7-1 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Lay the points here. Back Northern Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-02-18 | Jazz v. Suns UNDER 211.5 | 129-97 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 45 m | Show | |
Jazz vs. Suns under 212 The Utah Jazz are much better defensively now that Rudy Gobert is healthy again. That changes this team. Utah always prefers to play at a slow tempo, and it is interesting to see that Phoenix has slowed down in a big way in recent weeks. The Suns rank 15th in the NBA in tempo in their last 10 games. Earlier this year, they were the fastest team in the league. The Jazz offense has been terrible on the road this year. They are coming off an impressive showing against Golden State, but Utah's offense hasn't been great like that consistently this year, and I think this number is too high because of that great offensive showing by Utah in the Golden State win. Phoenix is taking too many contested jumpers and that isn't likely to work against a Utah defense with length all over the floor. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday NBA 8* O/U Play |

02-02-18 | Manhattan -1 v. Siena | 51-47 | Win | 100 | 11 h 41 m | Show | |
Manhattan -1 The Manhattan Jaspers play a unique trapping style that really bothers the Siena Saints. Siena has a lot of youngsters handling the ball. Siena turned the ball over 25 times in the first meeting between these two a few weeks ago. Siena is coming off a triple overtime game earlier this week. Playing that much extra time was a big negative for a Siena team that is already thin because of injuries. I don't see them bouncing back well from a game like that. Manhattan has been better on offense than Siena this year, and the Jaspers have better depth than does Siena. This is a spot where we get a solid amount of line value because of the revenge possibility. Siena wants to beat Manhattan here, but motivation isn't everything. They don't match up well and it should be exposed again. Back Manhattan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

02-01-18 | Oregon -8.5 v. California | 66-53 | Win | 100 | 13 h 32 m | Show | |
Oregon -8.5 The Ducks laying the points here have value to work with on Thursday night. California has just been a major struggle this season. They enter play just 7-15 on the season and 7-12 ATS. In home situations, things have not got any better either. They are just 4-8 SU and 3-8 ATS while allowing 83 points per contest. Oregon should be able to pick this defense apart. The Ducks play extremely fast and should be able to attack the paint with ease. From that as well, they'll have plenty of chances to kick it open for open looks, something they do so well. Some trends to note. Ducks are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Ducks are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. The road side is the way to go here. Back Oregon. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

02-01-18 | Creighton v. Villanova -12.5 | 78-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show | |
Villanova -12.5 Villanova has value here laying the points at home. Nova has dominated this head to head series as of late. They come into play on Thursday winners of 6 straight, with 5 of them coming by double digits. Overall this season, they are playing like a Championship caliber team. They have just 1 loss and are averaging 88 points per game compared to just the 69 they give up. This team can just beat you in so many ways and they should have plenty of success against Creighton, who has struggled to slow teams down on the road. Some trends to note. Bluejays are 6-15 ATS in their last 21 games following a straight up win. Bluejays are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Look for Villanova to get out early and really push the tempo here. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-31-18 | Butler +2.5 v. Marquette | 92-72 | Win | 100 | 13 h 57 m | Show | |
Butler +2.5 The Bulldogs hold a solid advantage here on Wednesday night against Marquette. Butler took it to the Golden Eagles already once this season, as they put up a 94 spot on them in a game where Kelan Martin dropped 37. This matchup does not bode well for Marquette, who has really struggled on the defensive end. Marquette has averaged 77 points against this year, one of the worst in the conference. With the way Butler can shoot and has been shooting as of late, Marquette could be in for a long night if they don't close out on shooters and stop the Bulldogs from getting out in transition like they did in the first matchup. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game. Golden Eagles are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win. Grab the points here. Back Butler. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-31-18 | 76ers -7 v. Nets | 108-116 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Philadelphia 76ers -7 The 76ers laying the points here has value against Brooklyn on Wednesday night. For starters, the Nets limp into this one on Wednesday night. Brooklyn has dropped 4 straight games and come into this one on the back half of their back to back. The Nets were knocked around inside MSG on Tuesday night and they have really struggled situationally here. The Nets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The 76ers have also been pretty solid on the road overall this season.They are averaging 106.4 points per game and should really be able to get some open looks against this defense. Some trends to note. Nets are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. Nets are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Wednesday games. The Nets are a mess right now. This is a good chance for the 76ers to get out early and run. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-30-18 | Arkansas v. Texas A&M -5.5 | 66-80 | Win | 100 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Texas A&M -5.5 The Texas A&M Aggies have proven their upside is extremely high this year. Remember the thumping they laid on West Virginia in the first game of the season? It seems so long ago, but this team proved they could handle a pressing defense and pass the test with flying colors. Texas A&M has dealt with all kinds of injuries and suspensions throughout the course of the season. The team has its nucleus playing right now though, and the Aggies have loads of potential. Arkansas is coming off a double overtime game last week during the week and then a big second half comeback to beat Oklahoma State by a point. This is a team that isn't very fresh at all for this one. Perception has gotten really low on the Aggies, and I see this as a good buy point for this team. Lay the short number here. Back Texas A&M. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-30-18 | Nuggets v. Spurs UNDER 202 | 104-106 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Nuggets vs. Spurs Under 202 The Denver Nuggets offense has been really inconsistent this year. Denver is no longer playing quickly. The Nuggets are in the bottom third of the NBA in pace of play in the last month. The Spurs rank last in the NBA in pace of play in the past month. San Antonio doesn't have the offensive firepower they have had in past seasons, but this Spurs team still really gets after it on the defensive end. They are first in the NBA in total defense in the past ten games. The Nuggets are in a strange spot here. Denver fought hard to the finish and almost came back and beat the Celtics last night. A very quick turnaround to play a road game against a high quality defense. I think the Nuggets offense could struggle here, and the Spurs should slow the pace down and keep this under the total. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-30-18 | Buffalo v. Kent State +7 | 79-82 | Win | 100 | 19 h 19 m | Show | |
Kent State +7 The Golden Flashes have some serious momentum here coming into this one on Tuesday night. Kent State has put together back to back impressive wins over MAC foes Ball State and on the road against Central Michigan Saturday night. Getting this many points, especially at home, is a valuable move. Kent State has gone 8-2 in home situations this season and they are 5-1-1 ATS in lined contests. They have played with extreme confidence inside the MAAC Center and will be up for the challenge here against Buffalo. Look for Jaylin Walker to be the prime difference maker here. Walker dropped 21 in the win on Saturday and he continues to really heat up as of late, sparking this offense. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Golden Flashes are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Grab the points here. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-29-18 | Heat v. Mavs +2 | 95-88 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 56 m | Show | |
Dallas +2 The Mavericks catch points at home here and have some value in this spot. Dallas has been a team that has given the opposition fits and despite the record they're at, they are still playing with a lot of confidence. Dirk Nowitzki said it after the teams loss last time out that they are are just one big play away typically from turning games around. His veteran leadership is a huge piece to this team that has been able feed off his positivity and energy. The Mavs defensive efforts are really what given them value here. Dallas has averaged just 101 points against this season at home, as the pace they play is really key. They slow things down and tend to take the opposition out of their elements. Some trends to note. Heat are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Heat are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Miami has struggled with lower tier teams. Look for them to struggle offensively here, giving Dallas the edge. Back Dallas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-29-18 | Notre Dame +14.5 v. Duke | 66-88 | Loss | -103 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
Notre Dame +14.5 The Blue Devils and Fighting Irish battle on Monday night and the visitors plus the points is a the move here. Duke was tripped up by Virginia, at home, on Saturday in a game that really has to still be in the minds of the Blue Devils. They had a chance to take down the #2 team in the country, but coughed up a 2nd half lead and failed to hit some big shots down the stretch. That will certainly cause some distraction here against the Fighting Irish. Notre Dame is no pushover either. They have endured some tough luck as of late, but they have a very threatening offense that is very deep. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Blue Devils are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Look for a distracted Duke team that will struggle here Monday. Back Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-29-18 | Monmouth v. Rider OVER 153.5 | 85-92 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Monmouth vs. Rider Over 153.5 The Monmouth Hawks always like to push the tempo. Rider started running last season as well. Last year, Rider was a team that wasn't efficient on offense and they were good on the defensive end. This year, Rider is much better on offense and a little worse on defense than they were last year. Micah Seaborn is a key part to this Monmouth offense. He has missed a lot of time this year, but he is listed as probable for tonight's contest. Look for him to provide a key spark for this offense. Rider is coming off a low scoring contest against St. Peter's. I think that has made this line come down a few points. That gives us value on the over. St. Peter's is a totally different team. They stall and look to make the game as low scoring as possible. Neither of these teams are that way at all. A fast paced back and forth game. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-28-18 | Pistons v. Cavs -7.5 | 104-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
Cleveland -7.5 The Cavaliers welcome in the Pistons here on Sunday night and they have value laying the points in this spot. Cleveland finally righted the ship last time out as they found their offensive groove against the Pacers on Friday night. The Cavaliers got contributions all around for really the first time this month as JR Smith and Lebron James led the way. It's those kinds of efforts that really sum up this Cavaliers team and truly who they are. They take on a Pistons team that is just 9-15 on the road this year, as they are averaging just 100 points per game when playing away from Detroit. On top of that, Cleveland has already knocked off the Pistons once this season, as they put up a 116 spot on them back in November. Some trends to note. Pistons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Pistons are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss. Lay the points. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Davidson -11 The Davidson Wildcats were beaten by 11 at Richmond earlier this year. Davidson has proven to be the much better team over the course of the season. They should get revenge in a big way here. Davidson scored only 0.91 points per possession in the first game this year against Richmond. In Atlantic 10 Conference play overall, Davidson is averaging better than 1.17 points per possession. The Richmond defense isn't all that good, and I would expect Davidson's offense to look a whole lot better in this one. Richmond has played better of late, but this is still a team that is badly overmatched in talent in this game. Richmond is still a team that lost by 33 points at home to Jacksonville State. Richmond has a good coach in Chris Mooney, but Davidson's Bob McKillop is even better in my book. A motivated Davidson team should roll here. Back Davidson Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-27-18 | Stanford +6.5 v. UCLA | 73-89 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 22 m | Show | |
Stanford +6.5 This is too many points to give to Stanford in this spot here. The Bruins have been a tough team to back for teams this season. UCLA has gone just 9-12 ATS overall and 5-7 ATS at home. The key here for Stanford will be their ability to keep up with UCLA on the offensive end. The Cardinal have built a solid inside out game, as they like to attack the hoop and in turn will find their shooters open outside the arc. Kezie Okpala has been a huge boost for this Stanford team, as he has returned from ineligibility and has become a force on the offensive end. Look for him to be a huge difference maker on Saturday night. Some trends to note. Cardinal are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Cardinal are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 vs. Pacific-12. Grab the points here. Back Stanford. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | Kentucky +9.5 v. West Virginia | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Kentucky +9.5 The Wildcats are grabbing just too many points in this spot here on Saturday night. While the Mountaineers have been a solid team at home, this Kentucky team is still built to compete with the top tier teams in the nation. Kentucky has really been able to use their youth core to bring energy and quick play here this season. Freshman Kevin Knox has led the charge for the Wildcats and over his last 3 games he has averaged 16.3 points per game to go along with 6.0 rebounds. Kentucky has also been very good at limiting teams when it comes to runs. They allow under 70 points per game and they've been able to close out on shooters extremely well and get back in transition, which has been the biggest key. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. Kentucky will keep this one close and may even have a shot to steal things here. Back Kentucky. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | VMI +10 v. Chattanooga | 70-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 27 m | Show | |
VMI +10 The VMI Keydets aren't a good team, but how are they catching ten points here? Chattanooga has all sorts of injuries, and they have had a hard time keeping five guys on the floor this year. The Mocs have no business laying double digits against anyone right now. VMI has improved a bit defensively this year, and that has allowed them to stay in several games in conference play. Chattanooga hasn't won many games, and when they have it has been close ones. They'll probably win this one, but I see no reason to believe it will be by a big margin. Another important factor here is the posted total being set so low. The opening total here was 127 points. Laying ten points with that kind of total isn't easy to do, and with a team as bad as Chattanooga, I see value in going the other way. Back VMI. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

01-27-18 | Kent State +6 v. Central Michigan | 84-76 | Win | 100 | 15 h 14 m | Show | |
Kent State +6 The Golden Flashes catch points here against a MAC West foe and have a lot of value to work with. Kent State has played extremely well against MAC opponents and particularly against West opponents. Overall, the Golden Flashes are Golden Flashes are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. Mid-American. The defending MAC champs have really been able to keep themselves in games thanks to the constant attack at the rim on the offensive end. They hold a nice edge here against this CMU team that is giving up 71 points per game. Some trends to note. Golden Flashes are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games. Golden Flashes are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games following a ATS win. Grab the points here. Kent State will keep this one close, with a shot at stealing it outright. Back Kent.

01-27-18 | Virginia v. Duke -4.5 | 65-63 | Loss | -106 | 13 h 48 m | Show | |
Duke -4.5 The Blue Devils laying the points here have value, at home, on Saturday afternoon. Duke comes into this one with a perfect record at home, averaging over 90 points per game. Cameron Indoor has always been such a tough place to play for opposing teams and this is a case where the Blue Devils can really give the Cavaliers some fits. Duke has won 5 straight and they are really hitting their stride in terms of how well they're playing on both sides of the floor. Duke has proven they can be scrappy and really force the opposition into some tough shots on the defensive end, while pushing the tempo and finding some easy baskets at the rim on the offensive end. Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Blue Devils are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Atlantic Coast. Duke should be able to take Virginia out of their comfort zone pace wise here. Back Duke. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-26-18 | Lakers v. Bulls OVER 220 | 108-103 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 20 m | Show | |
Lakers vs. Bulls Over 220 The Los Angeles Lakers push the pace as much as anyone in the NBA. Without Lonzo Ball in the lineup, this Lakers team has been playing as fast as ever. Where have they been hurt most? On the defensive end. Ball is a better defender than most realize, and the Lakers defensive ratings have dipped significantly without Lonzo in the lineup. The Lakers have a budding star in Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma and Brandon Ingram are stepping up and proving to be great scoring options for this young Lakers team. Chicago's offense has some good balance, and the Bulls like to play to the pace of their opponent. In this case, that is a very quick tempo. The Bulls defense has been in the bottom five in the NBA in the last month. They aren't reliable at all. An up and down battle here, with this one getting past the total. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-26-18 | Wisconsin v. Michigan State UNDER 136 | 61-76 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 16 m | Show | |
Wisconsin vs. Michigan State Under 136 The Wisconsin Badgers aren't nearly as good this year as they have been in recent years, but they can still slow a game down about as well as anyone in the country. Wisconsin isn't going to be willing to run with Michigan State here. The Spartans rank ninth in the nation in defensive efficiency. Michigan State isn't likely to let Ethan Happ touch the ball in scoring positions very often here. Wisconsin's offense is led by Happ, and the Badgers truly don't have any other extremely reliable options on offense. Michigan State is likely to grab an early lead and then use their strong defense to control this one throughout. This game isn't likely to be close enough for a fouling spree at the end of the game. The Big Ten is still a slower paced conference than most, and these defenses should be good on Friday night. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-26-18 | Pacers v. Cavs -5 | 108-115 | Win | 100 | 20 h 11 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -5 The Cavaliers have been in quite a rut lately and it's become a national thing now. With all the supposed finger pointing going on, Cleveland is still one of the best teams in the NBA and a nice few days of rest, this will give them a chance to come out refreshed and with a lot of fire behind them. Along with that, head coach Tyrone Lue hinted at some changes coming to the lineup here in this one. Look for the shuffles to give Cleveland a little more of an edge here and it's apparent to these players that they need to take it upon themselves and step up. Some trends to note. Pacers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Indiana is walking into a bad case here. Cleveland will come out with a purpose here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-25-18 | Gonzaga -21.5 v. Portland | 95-79 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 24 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -21.5 The Bulldogs are worth laying the big number here on Thursday night. Gonzaga should really be able to run Portland right out of the gym. The Bulldogs have put up nearly 90 points per game this season and take on a team averaging just 66. Gonzaga has the offensive firepower that no team in the WCC can compete with. They like to get up and down the floor and can score in quick bursts, which is really something Portland can't keep up with here on Thursday night. Some trends to note. Pilots are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Pilots are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. Gonzaga scored over 100 the last time these two teams met. There is no telling what will come here on Thursday against a Portland defense that ranks as one of the worst in the NCAA. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-24-18 | Temple +14 v. Cincinnati | 42-75 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Temple +14 The Temple Owls lost one at the buzzer by two points to Cincinnati earlier this year. They'll be looking to get revenge here at Cincinnati. While I don't expect them to win outright, I don't think this will be a blowout like the oddsmakers expect. Temple and Cincinnati both play at a very slow pace, which makes grabbing this many points that much more attractive. Temple is a good defense, and they are a team that doesn't foul much at all. Cincinnati will have to make their jumpers to win by a big margin here. Cincinnati's single biggest weakness as a team is their inability to consistently knock down jumpers. This is a team that is great on defense, but they aren't very efficient on the offensive end. The Bearcats have been turning the ball over too much as well. In a game with a slow pace and two good defenses, this is too many points. Take Temple. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-24-18 | Rockets -5.5 v. Mavs | 104-97 | Win | 100 | 20 h 17 m | Show | |
Houston -5.5 The Rockets are just too quick here for the Mavs and should be able to pick them apart on Wednesday night. Houston averages 114 points per game, which is far and above the 102 the Mavs put up. The Rockets like to really push the tempo and issue, something the Mavericks won't be able to keep up with. Along with that, Houston has dominated in every which way head to head. The Rockets are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Dallas. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Conference. Rockets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Houston has played well situationally on 1 days rest. They are just too powerful for the Mavericks in this case. Lay the points. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Chicago Bulls +5.5 The Bulls grabbing points here in this spot is a nice move for us on Wednesday night. Chicago has played teams extremely tough this season and it has actually gone unnoticed a lot. Chicago enters play on Wednesday 29-17-1 ATS this season, one of the top tier marks in the NBA. They have also dominated this series, which helps the cause tremendously here. The Bulls took the first meeting this season at home as they put up 117 points in the victory. Overall, they have taken 7 straight in Philadelphia. Some trends to note. Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games. Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games. Grab the points here in this one. The Bulls will keep this close with a shot at stealing it.

South Carolina +10.5 The Gamecocks are in a prime spot to give this Florida team some fits here Wednesday. Florida comes in off a huge win on Saturday night against Kentucky, which has put them in quite the letdown spot here. The Gators snuck away with a 2 point win and while they're on a high right now, this is not an ideal matchup for them. For starters, the Gators are just 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games. Along with that, the Gamecocks have dominated this series. They have gone 11-2 ATS in the last 13 meetings in Florida. Some other trends to note. Road team is 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Gators are 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Grab the points here. Back South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-23-18 | Missouri State v. Bradley UNDER 125.5 | 52-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show | |
Missouri State vs. Bradley under 125.5 The Missouri State Bears and Bradley Braves meet in a Missouri Valley clash on Tuesday. Missouri State was the favorite to win the MVC, but they have lost a bunch of close low scoring games this year. The offense hasn't had enough consistent contributors. The defense has been elite all year. Bradley isn't any good on offense. The Braves turn the ball over far too often, and they are reliant on getting to the free throw line. Missouri State has been good at avoiding fouling on defense. Bradley goes through long scoring droughts very frequently. The MVC is a league where I'm not nearly as worried to take a low under as I am in most other leagues. This is a conference where there are a bunch of first one to 60 wins types of games. This looks like another one of them. Back the Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

Kansas vs. Oklahoma Over 170.5 Two of the top teams in the nation clash here on Tuesday, with this Over having a lot of value. The style that both teams play here will help this point total out tremendously. Kansas averages 84.2 points per game, while Oklahoma sits at 91.6 this season. Both of these teams have really push the tempo and like to attack early in the shot clock. Along with that pace comes some sloppy defense too. Both teams have conceded high point totals as they fail to get back in transition a lot. We should see both teams get some counters here as they both like to grab rebounds and take off. Some trends to note. Over is 11-5 in the last 16 meetings. This has been an Over series in recent meetings. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-22-18 | West Virginia -1 v. TCU | 73-82 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 6 m | Show | |
West Virginia -1 The Mountaineers are just too valuable to pass up on here with this number. West Virginia has had no issues with TCU in past meetings. Heading into play on Monday night, the Mountaineers are a perfect 11-0 against the Horned Frogs. Along with that, conference play has been a huge issue for TCU. They are tied for last as they have only beaten the pair of teams they're currently tied with. There has been a lot of issues with this team, but the biggest red flag has been their defense. Allowing 78 points per game, it has been a huge struggle to slow teams down, especially ones that like to run and gun. Some trends to note. Mountaineers are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Mountaineers are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 Monday games. This matchup just favors the Mountaineers in too many ways. Back West Virginia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Philadelphia 76ers -3 The 76ers are catching some fire once again. Winners of 3 in a row, Philadelphia is causing a lot of havoc on both sides of the ball. Offensively, they are proving to be a very dangerous team. They have averaged over 108 points per game this season as this mix of a young core and savvy veterans has really blended well together for them. They also catch a Memphis team that has struggled against the East. Memphis has gone just 2-12 against Eastern Conference foes here in the 2017-2018 season. Some trends to note. 76ers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games playing on 1 days rest. 76ers are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. This number is too low here. Laying the points with a team playing with a ton of confidence has value. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Utah -10.5 The Utes at home here have value to play with on Sunday night. This home/away discrepancy is just too much to overcome here for Washington State. The Cougars come into play 0-5 away from home, allowing 87 points per road game. It’s been a real struggle for them to slow teams down, especially in transition. On the flip side of things, Utah is a solid 8-2 in home situations and this team has flourished on both ends of the floor. Averaging a 14 Point margin of victory in home cases, the Utes have been one of the best teams in the conference at closing out on shooters and allowing nothing easy at the rim. Washington State is just 1-6 ATS Over the last 7 meetings in Utah. This should be a one sided affair here. Back Utah. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Magic vs. Celtics Under 208 The Orlando Magic and Boston Celtics meet in an early Sunday afternoon contest in Boston. This is a spot where both teams should come out a little sloppy. The early Sunday games have trended under in the long run. Boston's defense has been the best in the NBA for the season, and their defensive numbers are absolutely excellent in the past ten games. Brad Stevens has his team buying in completely on this end of the floor. Orlando has been slightly better defensively in recent games as they have gotten their better defenders back from injuries. Kyrie Irving will play here, but he is likely a little less than 100 percent. Boston should be content to grab a lead and slow this one down on Sunday and save up their energy for bigger games coming up. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play |

01-20-18 | UCLA +4 v. Oregon | 91-94 | Win | 100 | 11 h 25 m | Show | |
UCLA +4 The Bruins catching points here is a valuable play on Saturday night. UCLA has got off to a rough start in conference play and really can’t afford another slip up here. Luckily for them, they match up very well with the Ducks in this one. Offensively, the Bruins are one of the best in the conference averaging well above 80 points per game. This team continues to put the constant pressure on and will face an Oregon offense that simply struggles with slowing teams down in transition. On top of that, the Ducks have really struggled at home. They have gone just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home contests. Grab the points here. Oregon has really struggled with teams that play with styles like UCLA’s. Look for the Bruins to attack from the outset. Back UCLA. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

UNC Wilmington +6.5 The UNC Wilmington Seahawks have played much better in recent weeks. Earlier this year, this was a team that was getting blown out on a regular basis. The marketplace got extremely low on this team, and now they are starting to show their potential once again. Remember, this UNC Wilmington team still has a lot of guys from their team that has been the best in the CAA the last two years. They aren't that good this year, but getting this many points at home against a Towson team that is far from dominant is too much to overlook. UNC Wilmington should be able to get out in transition and make this a game that they are comfortable in from start to finish. Towson's offense is inconsistent, and I'll think they'll go through some droughts here. Back UNC Wilmington Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5 The Cavaliers welcome in the Thunder for a marquee afternoon matchup here. Cleveland has struggled and it is becoming well known even in the locker room. Playing a team like the Thunder in this kind of spot may just be what this team needs to find a spark. It's not a secret that this Cavaliers team is by far one of the most talented in the NBA. They nearly showed that when they led by 20 against the Magic on Thursday night. Cleveland has also dominated this series lately, which gives them a huge edge. The Cavs have gone 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings against OKC and 5-0 ATS in the last 5 matchups in Cleveland. Some trends to note. Thunder are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.Thunder are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Lay the points here. Look for Cleveland to really come out with passion here. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Illinois +4.5 The Fighting Illini grab too many points in this spot here on Friday. Wisconsin has taken a few steps back this season, as they actually sit under the .500 mark. It's been a combination of things for this Badgers team, but averaging just 68 points per game is one of the biggest issues with this team. The Badgers are really lacking that spark from behind the arc, along with an inside presence. That won't bode well here going up against a team that is averaging nearly 80 points per game in this spot either. Look for the Illini to really push the issue here, especially early on. Some trends to note. Fighting Illini are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss.Fighting Illini are 15-7-1 ATS in their last 23 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

Toronto Raptors -5
The Raptors laying points on Friday is worth the move at home here. Toronto has been extremely solid at home, as they enter Friday with just 3 losses in Canada. Toronto sits with a 16-3 record, as they come in off a home win over Detroit last time out. The real key here is the Spurs injuries. They will be without Manu Ginobili, Rudy Gay, and most importantly Kawhi Leonard here on Friday. These are just too key of pieces to be missing in this kind of matchup. Not only does it hurt the Spurs offensively, but it really opens the floor on the defensive end. These are 3 key pieces that you simply cannot afford to miss as they are so good at closing out on shooters. Given the lack of depth for the Spurs here, Toronto has a lot of value. Lay the points. Back Toronto. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play. |

Louisiana Monroe vs. Texas State Under 125 Here, we have a meeting between two teams who want to play as slowly as possible. They are both almost allergic to fastbreak points, and they are both inconsistent on offense in the halfcourt as well. Both of these teams turn the ball over at a very high rate. That means a lot of wasted possessions here. Neither of these teams do much fouling either, and that's important when you are looking at a low posted total. I think we see a really sloppy game here where the winner has somewhere in the 60 point area. The ultra low tempo makes the 125 number still a very solid value. The oddsmakers had a hard time lining this one low enough. Even at this low number, this is a good look toward the under. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB O/U Play |

Northwestern +3.5 The Wildcats hosting here gives them huge value on Wednesday night. Northwestern comes into this one a solid 9-2 at home this season and in such cases, they are averaging over 80 points per game. To go along with that, their defense has been absolutely lock down. They are allowing just 63 points per game and really locking things down on shooters. Their track record against Ohio State is also extremely impressive. The Buckeyes are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Northwestern. Ohio State just hasn't been able to figure things out here in this building, as they tend to bury themselves early on and not be able to dig out of things. Some trends to note. Wildcats are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss.Wildcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. This is just too many points here to give Northwestern. Back Northwestern.

SMU vs. Wichita State Under 145.5 The SMU Mustangs have slumped of late, but I still view them as a good team with a solid coach in Jankovich. I don't think SMU is going to want any part of a track meet here. Look for them to slow the game down and try to play this game in the 60's or low 70's. Wichita State has played against some of the weakest defenses in the AAC thus far. SMU will finish the season as one of the better defenses in this league. While they won't shut down the Shockers, they should do a solid job at least making it more difficult on them. Wichita State's defense has been excellent of late, and SMU doesn't have the scoring options they have had in recent years. They really miss having Ojeleye in the post. This number is too high for a game between two strong defensive teams like these. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

Fordham vs. LaSalle Under 132.5 The Fordham Rams are just an awful team this year. Fordham plays slowly and hopes to win low scoring games, but it hasn't been working out of late. Fordham scored just 45 points in a loss to Davidson in their last contest. What about LaSalle? They are coming off a triple overtime loss to Duquesne in their last contest. They also went to OT in the game before that. They are likely to have less in the tank for this one. I think that means more missed jumpers. It also likely means they won't be as anxious to run up the score on a bad team and send this one over the number. I think this game plays to a slow tempo and it stays very ugly the whole way. Look for this one to stay in the mid 120's. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

The Wildcats have won 5 of their last 6 overall and come into this one dominating the head to head series with the Gamecocks. Kentucky has gone Wildcats are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings and are 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in South Carolina. They've been able to really use their depth and speed, two things that South Carolina really lacks. Here on Tuesday, this South Carolina offense likely won't be able to keep up. They are averaging just a bit over 70 points per game, as they are a very slow developing team. That won't bode well here against the Wildcats who like to attack and can put up some big numbers. Some trends to note. Gamecocks are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 Tuesday games.Gamecocks are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Lay the points here. Back Kentucky.

01-16-18 | Western Michigan v. Kent State +2 | 71-73 | Win | 100 | 19 h 32 m | Show | |
Kent State +2 The Golden Flashes have played very well at home this season and against a West foe, they have value here. We backed Kent State this past weekend against Ohio at home and they came through for us as they improved to 6-2 SU inside the MAAC Center. Here against WMU, Kent should find a lot of success attacking the rim. The Broncos are conceding 72 points per game and have really struggled in closing down the paint. Given the inside presence Kent State does have, this should favor the Golden Flashes in a big way. Some trends to note here. Golden Flashes are 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Golden Flashes are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. The home side is the move here, especially grabbing points in this spot. Back Kent State. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-15-18 | Warriors v. Cavs +5 | 118-108 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 37 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +5 Revenge is on the mind of the Cavaliers here on Monday night. Thanks to some questionable calls, the Warriors pulled away from the Cavaliers late on Christmas Day and getting the Warriors at home here is just what this team needs right now. Cleveland has dropped 3 in a row and are enduring some tough times. However, Lebron James and company have showed a lot of fire and not much worry during this recent stretch. This is the perfect spot to come out and really make a statement against Golden State. Some trends to note. Cavaliers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Cavaliers are 5-2-2 ATS in their last 9 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Cleveland has played very well at home, going 15-4 SU this year. Look for them to come out with a purpose on Monday. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-15-18 | Bucks +5 v. Wizards | 104-95 | Win | 100 | 15 h 28 m | Show | |
Milwaukee Bucks +5 This is just too many points in this situation on Milwaukee Monday afternoon. The Bucks are primed for a bounce back after getting knocked around in Miami on Sunday afternoon. Playing in back to backs has been no issue whatsoever for this team either. Milwaukee is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 0 days rest. They have been one of those teams that have came out with a lot of fire and aggression when playing on the back ends. The Bucks offense will be able to go toe to toe with the Wizards in this case. Washington has given up 105.2 points per game at home this season, one of the bottom tier marks in the conference. Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Bucks are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Take the points here. Back Milwaukee. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-14-18 | Blazers v. Wolves -6 | 103-120 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show | |
Minnesota -6 The Timberwolves laying the points here is a nice move on Sunday night. Minnesota has a clear cut advantage as they come into this one red hot. They have given themselves the chance to sweep the homestand, entering play winners of 4 straight games. Overall, they've gone 17-6 SU at home, averaging 110 points per game as they've really played with confidence inside the Target Center. Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers bring in back to back losses as the bench has been the biggest concern for them. They simply cannot get any production from anyone not named Damien Lillard, as that really has been the story of this team all season. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Timberwolves are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Western Conference. Lay the point here. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-14-18 | Ohio State v. Rutgers UNDER 135.5 | 68-46 | Win | 100 | 16 h 15 m | Show | |
Ohio State vs. Rutgers Under 135.5 The Ohio State Buckeyes are currently first in the Big Ten in shooting percentage in conference play. Ohio State is shooting nearly 50% from three point range in the conference. The Buckeyes are a much improved team, but I don't think they can keep this kind of shooting up for the long term. Rutgers knows they are at a talent disadvantage here. The Scarlet Knights have been able to make their last few games a lot more sloppy and that is what gives them a chance. They nearly won at Michigan State with good defense and a slow tempo. They were able to knock off Wisconsin at home with that formula. Ohio State's shooting numbers should regress and Rutgers has a much improved team. I think this game will be a lot uglier than Ohio State's games of late have been. This number is inflated because of Ohio State's recent high scoring. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-13-18 | Gonzaga -13 v. San Francisco | 75-65 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 47 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -13 The Bulldogs lay a much lower number than expected here and have value in San Francisco on Saturday night. Gonzaga is once again making themselves a dominant force in the NCAA this season, opening up with a 15-3 record and a solid 9-5-1 ATS mark. They have done it once again with their extremely good offensive production, averaging over 90 points per game. San Francisco just doesn't have enough power to keep up here. Averaging only 68.8 points per game, they are a much slower team, which certainly won't play well when you're going up against this kind of offense from the Bulldogs. Look for them to really get taken out of their element which should force them into some quick shots and bad decisions here. Some trends to note. Bulldogs are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win. Bulldogs are 19-6-2 ATS in their last 27 road games. Lay the points here. Back Gonzaga. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-13-18 | Villanova -11.5 v. St. John's | 78-71 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 24 m | Show | |
Villanova -11.5 Laying the points here with Nova is the way to go on Saturday night. They hold many advantages here against a St. Johns team that simply cannot keep up in this spot. Villanova is averaging 88.9 points per game this year, one of the top marks in the NCAA. They do it in a number of ways as they move the ball swiftly with a nice inside out game. They have plenty of shooters who can spot up, along with a nice inside presence. They have also dominated this series head to head wise. The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in St. John's and are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Some other trends to note. Wildcats are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. Nova should be able to use their pace here to really keep St. Johns off balanced. Back Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-13-18 | Warriors -4 v. Raptors | 127-125 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Golden State -4 This one screams to take the Raptors. The Warriors on a back to back and 5th game in 8 nights, has had the public all over Toronto. Not so fast though. The Warriors laying this kind of number is extremely valuable here on Saturday. Golden State comes into this one after taking down the Bucks on Friday night, pushing their road record to 18-3 SU this season. In that span, the Warriors have averaged 117 points per game, as this offense can score so quickly and in spurts. Golden State has also had their way in this matchup. The Warriors have gone Warriors are 19-7-1 ATS in the last 27 meetings. Some other trends to note. Warriors are 20-7 ATS in their last 27 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Warriors are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Warriors are just simply the better team and laying the small number is a nice move. Back Golden State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-12-18 | Rockets -7 v. Suns | 112-95 | Win | 100 | 23 h 49 m | Show | |
Houston Rockets -7 The Rockets offense is just too much to handle here for the Suns on Friday night. Houston comes into play here on Friday night just rolling on the road. They have gone 14-5 SU and are putting up 112 points per game in such situations. They are one of the quickest teams and aren't shy about shooting from anywhere on the court. They have had a lot of different players step too. G Eric Gordon has been one name in particular, averaging 24.8 points per game over his last 4. That just adds to a team that is already deep and getting contributions both inside and out. Some trends to note. Rockets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Rockets are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Houston should be able to use their pace and run the Suns out of here. Back Houston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-12-18 | Warriors -6 v. Bucks | 108-94 | Win | 100 | 20 h 29 m | Show | |
Golden State -6 The Warriors laying the points here on Thursday are a nice move for us. Golden State is in a prime bounce back spot here. After the Clippers went into Golden State and ripped them apart on Wednesday, the Warriors will certainly come out here firing. The Warriors remain one of the top teams in the NBA as well when it comes to playing on the road. They enter Friday a solid 17-3 SU away from Oracle Arena, while averaging a ridiculous 118 points per game. The road team has also dominated this series. The road team has gone 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings. Some other trends to note. Warriors are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Warriors are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Expect a fired up side here in Golden State. Back the Warriors. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-12-18 | Nets +3.5 v. Hawks | 110-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Brooklyn Nets +3.5 The Brooklyn Nets are set to take on an Atlanta team that is coming off a five game road trip to the left coast. They just played in Denver at elevation on Wednesday night and put in a big effort. This is a difficult spot to lay points with a bad team. The Brooklyn Nets aren't a good team, but they have fought hard all year. They aren't going to lay down. Brooklyn is 25-16 ATS this season. The Nets are off an embarrassing loss at home to Detroit in their last game. I think they'll show up ready to play in this one. Atlanta's offense relies too much on Schroeder, and the Nets defense has actually been pretty good in recent weeks. Who else is going to step up for Atlanta? I don't trust anyone to do it. A couple trends here. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two. The Nets are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 road games. Take Brooklyn. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-12-18 | Ohio v. Kent State +1 | 69-70 | Win | 100 | 19 h 7 m | Show | |
Kent State +1 The Golden Flashes have been the most inconsistent team this season, but playing at home has been one advantage for them. They take on Ohio inside the MAAC Center on Friday and they have gone 5-2 SU here. Those wins have featured one against Power 5 Oregon State and MAC West rival Central Michigan. Kent has played with much more aggression and confidence in front of their home fans. Ohio has gone 0-3 on the road this year and have given up 87 points per game. That certainly doesn't sit well here in this case, especially going up against a Kent State team they have struggled with. Ohio has gone 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings and just 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Kent St. Grab the home side here. Back Kent. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-12-18 | St. Peter's +3 v. Canisius | 58-70 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
St. Peter's +3 The St. Peter's Peacocks are coached by John Dunne, and I see him as a very underrated coach. Dunne gets a lot done with the talent level of this team every single season. St. Peter's is one of those rare teams in the MAAC that plays some great defense every single year. St. Peter's is often terrible on the offensive end, but they are much better than normal on that end this year. Importantly, they are shooting 75.8 percent from the free throw line. That's important because Canisius has been fouling at an extremely high rate so far this year. Canisius is completely reliant on the jump shot. The Golden Griffins have been very poor at getting to the line this year, and that is the way to beat St. Peter's defense. The St. Peter's defense contests jump shots very well. In a conference that has trended toward underdogs, I'm taking the points here. Take St. Peter's. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-11-18 | Maryland +5.5 v. Ohio State | 69-91 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 36 m | Show | |
Maryland +5.5 This is a prime spot to fade the Buckeyes on Thursday night. Ohio state comes in off an epic win where they took down #1 Michigan State and now will be in a letdown spot here against Maryland. The bad thing for them as well is this Maryland team is not one you cannot afford to letdown against. The Terps are a solid 14-4 this season and a solid 9-5 ATS. They offer one of the best defensive efforts in the conference, allowing just 65 points per game. While Ohio State has been much improved, they still have had their troubles against Maryland. They dropped 2 meetings by a combined 15 points last season and the Terrapins are 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. This is a nice spot to grab the points. Back Maryland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-11-18 | Lafayette v. Army -8.5 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Army -8.5 Army and Lafayette play a high noon game on Thursday and the Black Knights have value laying the points. Lafayette has been horrific on the road, which is a huge reason for this play. They come into this one just 1-6 SU while averaging just 64.3 points per game. They simply haven't played with any confidence and have really struggled to gain any sort of momentum offensively in such cases. Army meanwhile has been no pushover this year. Sitting with 9 wins, they are a solid 3-1 at home this year, putting up over 80 points per game. Some trends to note. Leopards are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Leopards are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Lay the points here. Back Army. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-10-18 | TCU v. Texas -1.5 | 98-99 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Texas -2 The TCU Horned Frogs have had several big games in a row. Jamie Dixon has done a good job with this team, but I think this TCU team runs into a difficult spot here. TCU beat Texas in both games they played a year ago. Texas is coming home after a couple road games in the Big 12, and the Longhorns are playing with double revenge. Shaka Smart's team should be very hungry for a win, and Texas is clearly much better than they were a year ago. Having the freshman Bamba in the frontcourt makes this Texas team a completely different team. TCU's defense has slipped pretty badly of late. The Horned Frogs have given up some very high shooting percentages of late. On the other side, Texas is excellent on defense. The Longhorns interior defense is excellent. I'll take the better defense at home laying the short number. Take Texas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-10-18 | Thunder +4 v. Wolves | 88-104 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 35 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder +4 Grabbing the points on the Thunder here is a move for us. This is a very experienced Thunder team that should be able to pick apart the young, Timberwolves roster. It's a prime bounce back spot for starters as well. The Thunder were dropped to Portland on Tuesday and are poised to really come out firing here. That doesn't sit well for Minnesota, a team that is giving up 105 points per game. Oklahoma City has been a mid week team as well this year. They are a solid 13-3 ATS over the last 16 games when playing on a Wednesday. Some trends to note. Thunder are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games. Thunder are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. Western Conference. Grab the points with the better side. Back Oklahoma City. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-10-18 | Pistons -125 v. Nets | 114-80 | Win | 100 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
Detroit Pistons -125 The Pistons ML here is worthy of laying the small juice here. The Pistons will get a Brooklyn defense that is one of the worst in the NBA. Brooklyn is allowing 108.8 points per game this season and their defense has been one of the main reasons why they continue to not be contenders. Detroit also received a huge boost with Center Andre Drummond returning to the lineup. Drummond posted yet another double-double in his return and he should have a field day in the paint here against this Nets defense. Look for Detroit to play through him as he should have his way with this Nets interior defense. Some trends to note. Pistons are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Pistons are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 Wednesday games. Lay this juice here. Back Detroit ML. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ML Play |

01-10-18 | Heat +4.5 v. Pacers | 114-106 | Win | 100 | 19 h 40 m | Show | |
Miami +4.5 The Heat grabbing 4.5 points is a nice move for us on Wednesday. Miami has been overlooked at times this season. The Heat are proving they can give teams plenty of fits with their depth and they have plenty of steam right now. Miami has won 4 in a row and they have played very well on the road. The Heat have gone 5-1 ATS over their past 6 home games and they continue to be very good when it comes to playing top tier opponents. Miami is 16-6 ATS in their last 22 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. This is one of those teams that certainly plays up to their competition and never plays down to the weaker ones, which is perfect for us here. Some trends to note. Heat are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 vs. Eastern Conference. Heat are 17-8 ATS in their last 25 Wednesday games. The points are the way to go. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-09-18 | Texas A&M v. Kentucky UNDER 144 | 73-74 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 36 m | Show | |
Texas A&M vs. Kentucky Under 145 The Texas A&M Aggies and Kentucky Wildcats do both like to play at a quick tempo, but it isn't all about tempo. You still have to score efficiently to get over a high posted total. Both of these teams are strongest on the defensive end. Both teams have a ton of length and are able to contest almost everything. Kentucky isn't a good jump shooting team this year. When the Wildcats aren't able to get to the rim, they can really struggle to score. The Aggies of Texas A&M have been a mess offensively for the past month. It's hard to imagine them putting things together against the best halfcourt defense they have seen so far this year. These two teams have played some tight contests together in recent years. Expect both coaches to have a good strategy ready to go to take away the other teams strengths on the offensive end. Back Under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-08-18 | Cavs +1 v. Wolves | 99-127 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 44 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers +1
The Cavs laying this kind of number in a clear mismatch is worthy of a move here on Monday. Cleveland comes into this one after scoring a season high 131 points in their most recent outing, as the return of Isiah Thomas has continued to do wonders for this team. Thomas provides a huge spark and takes the pressure off a lot of these Cavs scorers, adding a huge element to an already impressive offense. Cleveland has also dominated this series as of late. They’ve won 6 straight overall and have gone 5-1 ATS in that span. Breaking this one down, Cleveland gains the significant edge on both sides of the ball. While the offense is just on a different level, defensively Cleveland has the ability to really control the paint and shut down shooters on this young Timberwolves team. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-07-18 | Spurs v. Blazers -2.5 | 110-111 | Loss | -107 | 10 h 20 m | Show | |
Portland -2.5 Portland is worthy of a move laying the small number here on Sunday night. The Spurs offense on the road has been very lackluster this year, which gives a huge edge to the Trail Blazers on Sunday. San Antonio comes into this one averaging just 95.8 points per game and their struggles have come from their inability to pick up the pace. They have struggled against younger teams that like to play fast and this is going to be the case here against Portland. The Trail Blazers have gone 10-4 ATS over their last 14 and have strung together some nice play on both sides of the floor. Some trends to note. Trail Blazers are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games. Trail Blazers are 7-1-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Let's roll with the better offensive team here in this situation. Back Portland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-06-18 | Duke v. NC State +11.5 | 85-96 | Win | 100 | 17 h 54 m | Show | |
North Carolina State +11.5 The Duke Blue Devils have already tripped up at Boston College. They have been very close to losing on multiple occasions this year. NC State has given top teams, including Duke, trouble on their home floor in recent years. This is an NC State team that has been playing poorly of late, and that's why we are getting this many points. Still, NC State already beat Arizona on a neutral floor this year, so they are clearly capable of big things. Duke has been terrible defensively this season, especially in ACC play. In their ACC games, opponents are shooting better than 50% from long range. Duke is first in the nation in offensive efficiency this year, and NC State isn't going to be able to slow them down too much there, but the Blue Devils aren't likely to slow the Wolfpack very often either. Duke had big trouble at Indiana and trailed Portland State at halftime. This is too many points. Take NC State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-06-18 | Tulsa v. Memphis UNDER 139.5 | 67-76 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
Tulsa vs. Memphis Under 139 To put it frankly, Tubby Smith's Memphis Tigers simply aren't very good this year. Their three best players from last year are all gone. There have been some team chemistry problems with this Memphis team in the offseason and now in the season as well. What has Memphis decided to do to try to stay in games? They are playing as slowly as they can. Memphis is setting up a zone and looking to force their opponent into bad shots at the end of the shot clock. Tulsa hasn't been good against the zone in recent years. Tulsa's defense mixes things up nicely, and Memphis has no go to guy on the offensive end. Memphis is likely to struggle shooting the ball here. Both of these teams are defensive-oriented teams, and if they aren't converting a bunch of shots at the free throw line, they are often struggling to score. I expect a sloppy game here. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-05-18 | Wright State -4 v. Detroit | 80-73 | Win | 100 | 13 h 5 m | Show | |
Wright State -4 The Detroit Titans have been hapless all year. Detroit has a coach in Bacari Alexander who missed a bunch of time due to a suspension. The Titans ranked in the bottom ten in the country in defensive efficiency last year and they are down there again. Wright State ranks in the top 100 in the country in defensive efficiency. In recent games, the Raiders have been elite on that end of the floor. Wright State doesn't necessarily have a huge athlete advantage here, but they are the much better coached team, and they play fundamental basketball and don't beat themselves. Detroit is a program in disarray right now. I don't think we'll find short prices like this very often going against them. We'll look to take advantage while we can. Look for Wright State to control this game with their defensive intensity. Back Wright State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-05-18 | Knicks v. Heat -5 | 103-107 | Loss | -107 | 19 h 11 m | Show | |
Miami Heat -5 The Heat laying this number here Friday is worthy of a move for us. The Knicks have been one of the sketchiest road teams in the NBA this season. New York has gone just 3-13 SU away from MSG and 5-11 ATS. Along with that, the Knicks have scored well under 100 points per game in this situation. Miami C Kelly Olynyk has really picked up his game as of late as well, which really gives them some value here. The Heat C has two double-doubles in four games and comes in off a 25 point, 13 rebound performance. Look for him to be a huge part of this one on Friday, as he can not only shut down the Knicks defensively, but also provide a huge offensive spark. Some trends to note. Heat are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Eastern Conference. Heat are 28-11 ATS in their last 39 Friday games. Lay the points here. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-05-18 | Wolves v. Celtics -4 | 84-91 | Win | 100 | 18 h 18 m | Show | |
Boston Celtics -4 The Celtics laying the small number here is a nice move. Boston comes in off a huge win in their prior contest, as they welcomed in Kyrie Irving's former team from Cleveland and absolutely took it to them. Boston has been playing with extreme confidence all season long and has won 4 straight heading into play on Friday. Minnesota has really struggled against the Celtics as of late too. The Timberwolves are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings and are 0-5 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Boston. They are just such a young team and have struggled to find any consistency on either end of the floor. Some other trends to note. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Celtics are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Boston has too much of an edge here. Back Boston. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-05-18 | Fairfield v. Rider OVER 155.5 | 77-96 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rider vs. Fairfield Over 155.5 In Rider and Fairfield, we have two teams who want to run. Rider has been able to get almost every game to be a track meet this year. Rider is much more efficient on offense this year than they were a year ago. They are getting in the lane and getting to the line more instead of settling for jumpers all the time. Fairfield is another MAAC team that wants to get out in the open floor and get transition opportunities. The Stags aren't likely to slow this game down a bit. The key here is both offenses have more options than they did a year ago. Since the games last year were lower scoring, we're getting a good number on the over here. These teams are very different this season. An up and down contest here. Back Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* CBB O/U Play |

01-04-18 | Cal-Irvine +4.5 v. UC-Davis | 53-64 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
UC Irvine +4.5 The UC Irvine Anteaters have been the class of the Big West in recent seasons. UC Irvine scheduled a tough non-conference schedule, and they didn't play very well during it. Still, I expect them to be good in the Big West this year. UC Davis is laying 4.5 points here, but this is a Davis team that struggles to win by margins because they are weak on offense. They are good defensively, but this is a team that wins a lot of close low scoring games. They beat UC Irvine by 3 points to get to the NCAA Tournament last year. That means UC Irvine should enter this game with a bunch of motivation. I see UC Irvine having a significant advantage in the backcourt, and being able to hold their own in the frontcourt. UC Irvine is likely to be one of the top two teams in the league, and as the season goes along I don't think we'll be able to catch points with them in league play very often. Grab the points. Back UC Irvine. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-03-18 | St Bonaventure -2 v. Dayton | 72-82 | Loss | -107 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
St. Bonaventure -2 The Dayton Flyers aren't even close to the team they have been in recent seasons. Archie Miller is gone and I consider Anthony Grant a much worse head coach than Miller. Dayton also has a very young team. They had the same nucleus for the last few years, but this team is essentially starting over with youngsters and a new coach and new system. It is going to be a much bumpier ride than Dayton basketball fans are accustomed to. St. Bonaventure was in the ultimate letdown spot last weekend. The Bonnies were coming off a huge overtime win at Syracuse in the previous game. They were favored by double digits over UMass, and they ended up covering by rolling to a 20 point blowout. That told me a lot about this St. Bonaventure team. The Bonnies have easily the best player on the floor in Jaylen Adams. The Bonnies have too much firepower here. Back St. Bonaventure. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-03-18 | Rockets v. Magic OVER 220 | 116-98 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 52 m | Show | |
Houston vs. Orlando Over 220 The Rockets and Magic clash on Wednesday night and the Over here has a lot of value to play with. Both of these teams play with extreme pace, which is going to certainly help this Over out. Houston comes into this one averaging 116 points per game, one of the best marks in the NBA. It's not shocking this team scores so much given the shooters they have and their ability to get up and down the floor quickly. Not to be too out done, the Magic are putting up 105 points per game and they too are one of those teams who will shoot early in the shot clock. However, they are one of the teams in the NBA who really get burned by their pace. Because of how quickly they play, the Magic are conceding 110 points per game. Some trends to note. Over is 9-3-1 in Rockets last 13 overall. Look for a ton of pace here, as both teams will got back and forth all night. Back the Over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play |

01-03-18 | Knicks v. Wizards -8.5 | 103-121 | Win | 100 | 19 h 37 m | Show | |
Washington Wizards -8.5 The Wizards laying the number here has value to work with. Washington takes on a New York team that comes in on a back to back after suffering a loss to the Spurs on Tuesday night. The Knicks have been an absolute mess on the road, which puts the Wizards in a nice spot here. New York is just 3-12 SU away from MSG and 5-10 ATS in that span. While it has been a compliment of issues for them, it really stems from their inconsistencies on the offensive end. New York is averaging well under 100 points per game on the road and with such a young team, the struggles become almost a mind game at times for them. Some trends to note. Knicks are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. Knicks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. NBA Southeast. This one is worthy of laying the points given the situational aspects. Back Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-02-18 | Butler v. Xavier -7 | 79-86 | Push | 0 | 9 h 44 m | Show | |
Xavier -7 The Musketeers are worthy of a move here on Tuesday night. Butler comes in off their biggest win this season as they throttled the #1 team in the nation, Villanova, at home on Saturday. This isn't a let down spot per say, but they still comes into a situation where they might still be thinking about their win from this weekend. Xavier is a Big East best 10-0 at home this year and has outscored their opponents by an average of 21 points. Butler is just 1-1 in true road games this season and have not fared well in this head to head matchup. The Bulldogs are 3-11-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings and just 1-4-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings in Xavier. Back the home side here. Back Xavier. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

12-30-17 | Boise State v. UNLV -4 | 83-74 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
UNLV -4 The Rebels lay a nice number here, at home, on Saturday night. UNLV comes into play a solid 9-1 in home situations averaging 91.2 points per game. Here they hold the edge thanks to Boise State's road play. The Broncos are averaging just 68 points per game outside of Boise. Along with that, Boise State is giving up 78.0 in those same situations. Look for the Rebels to really push the issue here on them, especially early to help dictate the tempo this game is played at. Boise State is also just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 vs. Mountain West. Some trends to note. Broncos are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Broncos are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games. Lay the points. Back UNLV. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-30-17 | Middle Tennessee v. UAB UNDER 145 | Top | 63-60 | Win | 100 | 6 h 8 m | Show |
MTSU vs. UAB Under 145 The MTSU Blue Raiders and UAB Blazers are rivals. These two teams have played to some very close games in recent history and most of them have been low scoring. MTSU is coming off a trip to Hawaii to play 3 games in 4 days, and the Blue Raiders aren't likely to want to push the pace here. MTSU is typically a team that wins with defense first, and the Blue Raiders are likely to want to set things up in the half court here. UAB is shooting the ball very well this year, but the Blazers have played against some really weak defenses. That has propped their numbers up quite a bit vs. where they should be. UAB is still a team that relies on jump shots, and those can be hard to knock down with a hand in the face. A lower scoring rivalry game here. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday CBB O/U Rare 10* Play |

12-29-17 | Kansas -3.5 v. Texas | 92-86 | Win | 100 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
Kansas -3.5 The Jayhawks at this low of a number are worth the move here on Friday night. Kansas has won 3 straight games heading into this one and continue to really put up production on the offensive end. They've averaged 87.5 points per game this year and its been a giant team effort in the process. Kansas has averaged 20 assists per game, one of the best marks in the NCAA and taking care of the ball has been crucial to their success. Here against Texas, they matchup well. The road team has gone 6-0 ATS in this head to head series and Kansas simply is quicker and should be able to control the paint. Some trends to note. Longhorns are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 vs. Big 12. Longhorns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. This is a nice number to lay here. Back Kansas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-28-17 | Knicks v. Spurs -12.5 | 107-119 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
San Antonio -12.5 The Spurs hold a huge advantage here on Thursday night against the Knicks. San Antonio comes into this one a solid 16-2 at home and holds a 12-5-1 ATS mark in that span. The Spurs have given up just 98 points per home game as well, as this team has played with extreme confidence over the past few seasons here. On the flip side of things, the Knicks come into this one losers of 3 in a row and are just 2-11 SU on the road this year. They are in for a world of trouble here as this offense has not only struggled away from home, but they've also really hit a wall on the defensive end. Some trends to note. Spurs are 7-0-1 ATS in their last 8 games playing on 1 days rest. Spurs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Eastern Conference. This is a nice spot on the home side. Back San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

12-27-17 | Colorado State +11 v. Boise State | 71-93 | Loss | -103 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
Colorado State +11 The Boise State Broncos are a good team, but they aren't a great team. Boise State is being priced like a great team in this spot. Boise State has played a weak schedule on the whole so far this year. The Broncos won a nice contest against Oregon, and now the oddsmakers are pricing them like they are elite. I don't buy it. Boise State's offense is still very reliant on the jump shot. The Broncos defense is better this year, but it is likely to regress in the long haul. Boise State and Colorado State have played in several very hotly contested games of late. These teams have quickly become rivals in recent seasons. Colorado State hasn't started the season well, but they have a good coach and I expect them to get quite a bit better. The Rams are a very good rebounding team. This game should be played at a pretty slow tempo. At a slow pace, this is a bunch of points. Too many. Back Colorado State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

12-27-17 | Chicago State v. Wisconsin -30 | 70-82 | Loss | -106 | 12 h 38 m | Show | |
Wisconsin -30 Laying the big spread here with Wisconsin is the way to go on Wednesday night. The Badgers face a Chicago State team that is just atrocious. They have gone 0-10 on the road this season and have allowed 91.7 points per game to just the 58.0 they've scored. This team has given up at least 95 points on 6 different occasions this season and lost 9 in a row overall. Wisconsin should be able to feed off their defensive efforts. The Badgers have given up just 66 points per game this year, as their high pressure has been the biggest key. They'll be able to force some turnovers and really get some easy buckets in transition here on Wednesday. Some trends to note. Cougars are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. Big Ten. Badgers are 36-17-1 ATS in their last 54 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Wisconsin will run away with this one early. Back Wisconsin. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |
