12-20-14 | Milwaukee Bucks v. Los Angeles Clippers OVER 211 | 102-106 | Loss | -105 | 29 h 23 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers host the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night. The Bucks have played a strong defensive game under new head coach Jason Kidd, but they've been a friend to over bettors because of their torrid pace. As for the Clippers, they sit fourth in the NBA in scoring, and after cashing a ticket on the over in their game against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday, we'll gladly go back to the well in this one. Milwaukee's pace will be welcome by the Clippers, who rank first in the Association in points per shot. They'll also be out for revenge after falling to Milwaukee by a score of 111-106 in the first meeting between these teams this season. With Milwaukee ranking ninth in pace and Los Angeles ranking 12, this figures to look more like an All-Star game than a regular-season matchup. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play. |

12-19-14 | Brooklyn Nets v. Cleveland Cavaliers UNDER 198.5 | 91-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 38 m | Show | |
Nets vs. Cavaliers Under 197.5 The Brooklyn Nets and Cleveland Cavaliers meet on Friday night. Cleveland was thoroughly embarrassed on Wednesday night by Atlanta. The Hawks shot 65% from the floor and put up 128 points against Cleveland. Cleveland is a proud team, and LeBron James is their unquestioned leader. James is a very good defensive player, and he's trying to get the rest of the team around him to commit as much on the defensive end as he does. After a game like they had on Wednesday, I think the rest of the team works far harder on the defensive end here. Brooklyn is a team that is really in trouble right now. The Nets have no real direction as a franchise, and nearly everyone on the roster is being rumored in a trade. The Cavs are hungry after that ugly showing, and I think that shows up in a strong defensive effort. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA Totals Play |

12-19-14 | Utah Jazz v. Orlando Magic UNDER 192 | 101-94 | Loss | -107 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
The Orlando Magic host the Utah Jazz on Friday night. These teams met once already this season - two weeks ago tonight, to be specific. Orlando won that game in Utah by a score of 98-93. That result came on a night in which both teams shot well from the field, combining to hit on 48 percent of their field goal attempts. That's a good indicator of the kind of pace we can expect tonight. With both teams having already shot well in the first meeting, we won't have to worry about a fluky result doing us in. Neither side has been playing with much pace, and that's a trend we can expect to continue on this night. The under has cashed in each of three meetings between these clubs over the last two seasons. The under is 8-3 in the Magic's last 11 games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Friday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

12-19-14 | Clemson v. South Carolina -8 | 45-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
South Carolina -8 The South Carolina Gamecocks have double revenge on their mind as they take on the Clemson Tigers on Friday night. For those of you who don't know much about these two teams, South Carolina and Clemson have a serious football rivalry, and they don't care for each other in basketball either. Clemson lost their best player from last year (McDaniel) and this Tigers team has struggled through the early part of their schedule. Losses to Gardner Webb, Winthrop, and Rutgers have shown this Tigers team will have a tough time in the ACC. Frank Martin is an intense guy and he's had lots of time to get his team ready for this game. They haven't played for nearly two weeks. Also, check out the fact that Clemson is playing in their first road game of the year. The fact that it is against a rival makes it that much more difficult. Take South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-18-14 | DePaul v. Oregon State -3.5 | 59-90 | Win | 100 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
Oregon State -3.5 The DePaul Blue Demons are a bad basketball team right now. DePaul has one decent win this year, and that was a home win over Stanford. Other than that win, DePaul has a one point win over UIC and an 11 point win over Northern Illinois. DePaul also has a 12 point loss at home to Lehigh as well as a six point home loss at home to Illinois State. We were on Illinois State in that one and cashed in. We'll look to go against DePaul again here. Oregon State isn't a terribly talented team, but they are improving quickly thanks to the leadership of new head coach Wayne Tinkle. Coach Tinkle was highly successful for many years at Montana. He is just starting to build a nice base at Oregon State. The Beavers aren't going to win very many games in the Pac-12 Conference this year, but because of their strong defense, they will beat teams that have no real leadership. DePaul is one of those teams. Take Oregon State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-17-14 | Indiana Pacers v. Los Angeles Clippers OVER 200 | 100-102 | Win | 100 | 26 h 41 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. The Clippers have been scoring points in bunches of late, to the tune of 111.4 points per game over their last 10 contests. That number only jumps up when they're playing at home. In their last five home games, the Clippers have averaged 118.5 points per contest. That's going to be trouble for a Pacers defense that has its opponent to sore at least 100 points in six of its last seven road games. The team's offense has been better of late, though. They're averaging 95.4 points per game over their last 10 contests. Still looking to rebound from back-to-back upset losses, with only one win since then, the Clippers will be happy to run up the score in this one, and that's going to mean a lot of points. The over is 14-3 in the Pacers' last 17 road games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-16-14 | Dartmouth v. Mercer -4 | 67-51 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Mercer -4 The Mercer Bears are nothing close to the team they were last year, but it won't take a team that good to cover the number against the Dartmouth Big Green. It's no secret that the majority of the Ivy League (outside of Harvard and Yale) isn't good in college basketball, and Dartmouth is particularly bad on the road. Mercer has played against a relatively tough schedule so far this year. I like that Coach Hoffman has been able to find out a lot about his team during games that test them. Dartmouth has played one of the weakest schedules in the country so far this year. Mercer has a lot more depth than does Dartmouth. If Maldunas gets into foul trouble as he often does, Dartmouth is left with no inside scoring presence at all. Dartmouth's struggles on the road continue. Take Mercer. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-15-14 | Charlotte Hornets v. Cleveland Cavaliers UNDER 199.5 | 88-97 | Win | 100 | 23 h 50 m | Show | |
The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Charlotte Hornets on Monday night. The Hornets have prided themselves on team defense, and they play the kind of strong interior defense that will give a team like the Cavaliers trouble. The Cavaliers will have their sights set elsewhere, though. Cleveland has relied on its defense to end losing streaks, and coming off back-to-back losses they'll want to right the ship at that end of the court, and doing so against a Hornets team that struggles to score the basketball - particularly on the road - is right up their alley. The Hornets are also coming off a game in which their defense was shredded by the Brooklyn Nets to the tune of 114 points, so they'll look to fix things at that end as well. The under is 5-1-1 in the Cavaliers' last seven games following a loss. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday NBA 7* O/U Play |

12-14-14 | San Antonio Spurs v. Denver Nuggets OVER 204.5 | 99-91 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets host the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night. The Nuggets certainly know how to score the basketball, and they're even better at it when playing at home. For the season, Denver is scoring 107.3 points per game at home. For the Spurs' part, they've really stepped up in that department too, of late, scoring 109 points per game themselves. San Antonio began the season getting some strong production from its defense, but injuries have caused the team to take a step back in that area. They're allowing 101.8 points per game over their last five, 6.7 more points per game than they allow on the season. This one figures to feature a whole lot of points, but that hasn't been factored into this number - the Spurs won 133-102 the last time they went to Denver. The over is 5-0 in the Spurs' last five games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday NBA 9* O/U Play |

12-14-14 | Illinois State +3 v. DePaul | 78-72 | Win | 100 | 15 h 2 m | Show | |
The Illinois State Redbirds have a nice opportunity on Sunday. Illinois State has the chance to beat a "bigger name" school inside the state. DePaul is certainly the bigger name school because of their history. DePaul has really struggled to get going under Oliver Purnell. Purnell isn't having near as much success recruiting Chicago high school stars as the program thought he was going to have. DePaul's two best players from last year are gone, and the Blue Demons don't have enough firepower now. Illinois State is a team to watch in the Missouri Valley Conference. The MVC is really improving as a conference with Wichita State rising so quickly and others being forced to raise their game. We've seen it out of Northern Iowa already this year. Watch for Illinois State to surprise people with their defensive pressure. Illinois State pulls the upset here. Take Illinois State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-13-14 | Portland Trail Blazers v. Indiana Pacers OVER 193.5 | 95-85 | Loss | -107 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
The Indiana Pacers host the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night. These teams burned bettors a week ago when they met in Portland and played well under the total on a night on which both teams shot under 40 percent of the field. Without that long trip to Oregon weighing each team down, and uptick in offensive production can be expected this time around. Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard is coming off one of his best shooting performances of the season, scoring 35 points in a 115-106 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday. The Pacers were in action against the Toronto Raptors on Friday, and fell by a score of 106-94. Neither side is inspiring much confidence on the defensive side of late, so the over is definitely the play on Saturday night. The over is 20-5-1 in the Trail Blazers' last 26 games played on a Saturday. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Saturday NBA O/U Play. |

12-13-14 | Northern Iowa +6 v. VCU | 87-93 | Push | 0 | 18 h 11 m | Show | |
Northern Iowa +6 The Northern Iowa Panthers are unbeaten, but they aren't getting much love from the oddsmakers. They go to VCU to play a Rams team that has honestly been a big disappointment so far this year. VCU was trashed on a neutral floor by Villanova and lost on the road to ODU. Shaka Smart is a good coach, so he will have his team playing good basketball by the end of the year. Still, it's hard to see why they should be favored by this many points against a good veteran team like Northern Iowa. It's important to remember that Northern Iowa plays at an extremely deliberate pace which makes a lot of their games be low scoring battles. That means getting six points is a big value here. Northern Iowa has the guards needed to break the VCU pressure and make them pay. Take Northern Iowa. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-10-14 | Miami Heat v. Denver Nuggets -3.5 | 82-102 | Win | 100 | 30 h 3 m | Show | |
The Denver Nuggets host the Miami Heat on Wednesday night. The Nuggets really turned things around after a slow start, but a recent four-game slid has bettors looking to avoid the Nuggets. That's not the right move, as a closer look at their schedule shows a two-point loss to a good Portland team, and three losses to quality opponents on the road. A return home will do the team wonders. They are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five home games. The Nuggets are playing good basketball, led by point guard Ty Lawson, who looks to reach double-digit assists for the 10th consecutive game on Wednesday. As for the Heat, they struggled with the Nuggets even when LeBron James was around, and now have to take on a rested Denver squad while they themselves play on the second night of a back-to-back. The Nuggets are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings between these teams, and 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in Denver. Take Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* ATS Play |

12-10-14 | Houston Rockets v. Golden State Warriors UNDER 203.5 | 93-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 56 m | Show | |
The Golden State Warriors host the Houston Texans on Wednesday night. The Warriors bring a franchise-record 13-game winning streak in this matchup. Despite all the talent the team has at the offensive end, the Warriors have been winning games on the back of a strong defense, limiting opponents to an NBA-best 40.9 percent shooting from the field. In their last game, the team limited the Timberwolves to 36 percent shooting. The Rockets have also picked up their game at the defensive end of the court this season. The team got a big boost in that area with the return of point guard Patrick Beverley, who came back from a six-game absence Saturday and helped limit the Phoenix Suns to a 36.6 percent shooting clip in their last outing. These teams have already met once this season - a game the Warriors won 98-87. Both teams should put forth similarly strong defensive efforts in this one. The under is 15-5 in the Rockets' games this season. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play. |

IPFW +14 The IPFW Mastadons might be an unfamilar name to you, but they have a nice little squad. This is a team that lost very little from last year, and last year's team did a lot of damage in the Summit League. IPFW only lost by 9 at Georgia Tech this year, and they have won three road games. Purdue is certainly the more talented team here, but the Boilermakers are extremely young. With youth comes a lot of inconsistency and we saw that last game when Purdue lost at home to North Florida. I don't have to tell you that the fact North Florida won that game was a huge upset. The only thing that makes this a 7* play instead of a 9 or 10* play is the fact that Purdue lost last game. The Boilermakers still have lots of fundamental flaws though. IPFW has a veteran team. Take the dog. Take IPFW. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

12-07-14 | North Dakota State v. Montana -5.5 | 57-69 | Win | 100 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Montana -5.5 Montana has been a good home team for many years. We realize they have a new coaching staff now, but it's unlikely their home court advantage is going to suffer much at all. Playing in altitude in the West can be difficult for opponents to get used to. The Grizzlies have gone to double overtime twice on the road this year against very good opponents. This team has a lot of spunk. They have played some tough teams already this year, which has them ready for this game. North Dakota State is still getting too much love from the oddsmakers based on what they did last year. North Dakota State not only has a new coach, but they also lost their star player when Taylor Braun graduated. This team looks nothing like last year's, and they shouldn't be given this much respect. Take Montana. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 6* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-07-14 | Milwaukee Bucks v. Dallas Mavericks OVER 206.5 | 102-125 | Win | 100 | 25 h 36 m | Show | |
The Dallas Mavericks host the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. These teams met on Wednesday in a game that saw Dallas claim a 107-105 victory. Former Buck Monta Ellis loves to play his former team, and score 23 points in that one. The teams played over the total in that one despite the absence of Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, who has since return to the lineup. Nowitzki knows how to score, but he doesn't offer much help on the defensive end. In his return, the Mavericks surrendered 40 first quarter points to the Phoenix Suns in a 118-106 loss. That's music to the ears of the Bucks, who are shooting the lights out of late, hitting on 52.1 percent of their shots from the field on Wednesday before shooting 56.5 percent from the field in Friday's win over the Miami Heat. The over is 5-0 in the Mavericks' last five home games, and it is 4-1 in the Bucks' last five road games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play |

Valparaiso -7 The Valparaiso Crusaders are having a really nice season under Coach Bryce Drew. Valparaiso has a team loaded with depth, and that depth has helped them to an impressive 8-1 start to the season. New Mexico has been a really good team in the Mountain West the last few years. This year's team is nothing like the team from the past few season. Kendall Williams is gone and he was the point guard who did it all for them. Alex Kirk and Cameron Bairstow are both gone from the frontcourt as well. New Mexico was going to build around Cullen Neal, but he is injured. The Lobos have played some bad basketball since he went down. New Mexico lost badly to Texas A&M and USC, and neither of those teams are good. This is New Mexico's first road game of the year, and Valparaiso will be motivated here. Take Valparaiso. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

12-06-14 | Western Kentucky v. Murray State -5 | 81-93 | Win | 100 | 17 h 56 m | Show | |
Murray State -5 The Murray State Racers have underachieved so far this year. Murray State is far more talented than they have shown. The Racers are a team that should be the best in their conference, and there will likely be some good chances to back them this year. The fact that they have played poorly leading up to this key game helps the value here. Western Kentucky is an intrastate rivalry for Murray State, and the Racers will be up for this game. Murray State lost at Western Kentucky last year despite leading almost the entire game. It's a great chance for revenge here. Western Kentucky is a pretty good team, but they have some drastic home/road splits in the last few years. The Hilltoppers aren't good away from home, and that should be exposed in a big rivalry game like this one. Take Murray State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-04-14 | Indiana Pacers v. Portland Trail Blazers OVER 194.5 | 82-88 | Loss | -101 | 25 h 42 m | Show | |
The Portland Trail Blazers host the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night. Portland has won 11 of its last 12 and will look to continue its winning ways on Thursday night. The Trail Blazers haven't played at the torrid pace they did a year ago, but they're still scoring plenty of points. They've also been very successful by scoring as many points as they have, going 12-1 when scoring 100 or more points. For that reason, there's no reason to expect the team to change its approach. As for the Pacers, their offense has stepped it up in recent games - the team got a season-high 57 points from its bench in its last outing against the Phoenix Suns. Offense hasn't exactly been hard to come by when these teams meet, either - both teams eclipsed the 100-point mark in each of their two meetings last season. The over is 11-1 in the Pacers' last 12 road games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-02-14 | Toronto Raptors v. Sacramento Kings OVER 203.5 | 117-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
The Sacramento Kings host the Toronto Raptors at Sleep Train Arena in California on Tuesday night. For Kings big man DeMarcus Cousins, it's on the defensive end where he’s made his greatest improvements, helping the team improve from 23rd in defensive rating to 18th. That number doesn’t do him justice. Sacramento is allowing 98.3 points per 100 possessions with him on the floor, compared with 113.0 when he’s on the bench. Unfortunately for the Kings, Cousins has been dealing with an illness that's kept him out of the lineup in back-to-back games. That's music to the ears of the high-scoring Toronto Raptors. Toronto has produced 113 points per game on the road, allowing 107 in going over the total in five of eight road games this season. Even without DeMar DeRozan in the lineup the Toronto offense rolled against the Los Angeles Lakers, scoring 109 points in regulation. Not surprisingly, the Kings’ defense took a hit without the presence of Cousins on the court. The Grizzlies shot 48.1 percent from the floor, and things could have been worse if they had connected on better than 64.3 percent of their 28 free throw attempts. Power forward Zach Randolph was a particular thorn in the Kings’ collective side in that one, scoring a game-high 22 points and adding 12 boards. The over is 5-2 in the last seven meetings between these teams, and it is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Sacramento. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray Tuesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

Toronto -3.5 The Toronto Raptors host the Dallas Mavericks on Friday night at the Air Canada Centre. The Mavericks have beaten up on lesser opponents this season. Star forward Dirk Nowitzki is one of the players on the team that’s feasted against lesser opponents but struggled against quality foes. He’s hitting on 59.8 percent of his shots against opponents below .500, and hitting on 40.4 percent of his shots against teams that are above .500. As a team, the Mavericks are scoring 99.3 points per game against opponents that are above .500, compared with 117.0 points per game against opponents with losing records. In addition to facing a team with a winning record in this one, the Mavs may have to do so without Jameer Nelson, who is dealing with back spasms. The Mavericks are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings between these teams, and 2-6 ATS in the last eight meetings in Toronto. Take the Raptors. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* NBA Friday ATS Play |

11-26-14 | Alabama State +1.5 v. North Dakota | 68-75 | Loss | -103 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
Alabama State +1.5 The Alabama State Hornets have the best team in the SWAC this year. Alabama State actually lead Arkansas on the road in the second half earlier this year. The Razorbacks are a high quality team, and that performance told me a lot about the Hornets potential this season. Alabama State is well balanced with some solid big guys down low who can rebound as well as some good ball handlers in the backcourt. North Dakota doesn’t have that same balance. North Dakota will need to retool this year. This is a team that lost its three best players from a year ago. North Dakota plays in the Big Sky Conference, and that is one of the worst conferences in college basketball. This one is one of those under the radar games that can have a great deal of value, especially early in the year. Alabama State should win this game, and as an underdog, there is a lot of line value on this play. Take Alabama State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

The San Antonio Spurs host the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday night. The Spurs are allowing a league-low 91.3 points per game. Over their last six games, the Spurs have really picked things up at the defensive end, limiting opponents to 86.3 points per game on 39.4 shooting from the field and 24.1 percent shooting from beyond the arc. The Pacers rank near the bottom of the league in scoring, racking up only 92.4 points per game, and are knocking down only 42.6 percent of their shots from the field. Meanwhile, they’ve continued their strong defensive play, allowing only 94.4 points per game. The under is 6-1 in the Spurs’ last seven home games, and it is 19-7 in their last 26 games overall. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play |

The Cleveland Cavaliers host the Washington Wizards on Wednesday evening. The last result for each of these teams is playing far too great a factor in this line. Cleveland has struggled this season but is coming off a big win over Orlando, while Washington has been hot, but was guilty of looking ahead to this matchup last night. Washington downed Cleveland on Friday by a score of 91-78. The change of venue doesn’t justify this big a swing in the line, but with the general public running to the window to get behind the sexy Cavaliers, we’re able to get in at a very fair line. The Cavaliers are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall. Take Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Bowling Green -7.5 The Bowling Green Falcons will be one of the most improved teams in the MAC this year. The Falcons got a new coach this year who has a great history that comes with him. While Chris Jans hasn’t been a head coach, he has been an assistant at Wichita State and he was considered one of the top assistants in the land. The Falcons have a really nice nucleus of players, and a lot of them are veterans. A team that had many questions and was inexperienced in recent years is now experienced and ready to make a run. Southeast Missouri State plays in a much weaker league (Ohio Valley Conference) and they aren’t used to playing teams with as much athleticism and depth as Bowling Green. The Redhawks aren’t likely to be able to withstand the pressure from Bowling Green for 40 minutes. Take Bowling Green. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-23-14 | Denver Nuggets -2 v. Los Angeles Lakers | 101-94 | Win | 100 | 20 h 49 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday evening. The Nuggets have turned things around in a big way after a rough start to the year. Denver had gone 1-6 before winning three in a row and four of its last five games. That stretch includes a pair of wins on the road. Now they visit a Lakers team that is returning home from a three-game road trip that saw the team play three games in four nights. The Lakers have been dreadful at the defensive end of the court, which is a terrible recipe for success against the Nuggets. Denver has scored 110.0 points per game over the course of its three-game winning streak, while the Lakers are allowing a league-high 112.5 points per game. The Nuggets are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between these teams. Take Nuggets -2 Good Luck, Razor Ray Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-21-14 | Southern Illinois +4.5 v. Kent State | 51-74 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 55 m | Show | |
Southern Illinois +4.5 The Southern Illinois Salukis were a terrific team in the Missouri Valley Conference a few years ago. They have slipped back in recent years, but they are on the rise once again. Southern Illinois is a team I expect to surprise a lot of people this season. The Salukis have a good coach in Barry Hinson, and he has more talent to work with this season. Kent State is a team that is headed south in the Mid American Conference. The Golden Flashes were once the cream of the crop in the conference, but that’s no longer the case. Kent State skidded into the finish at the end of last year, while Southern Illinois finished with momentum. Look for the Salukis to come out of here with a straight up win. Grab the generous amount of points. Take Southern Illinois. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

Duke -7.5 The Michigan State Spartans are normally one of the best teams in the nation, but they lost a bunch of talent at the end of last year. Michigan State lost their top three scorers in Payne, Appling, and Harris. It’s going to be hard to replace those guys immediately. |

11-14-14 | Weber State v. Utah State -1.5 | 61-72 | Win | 100 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
Utah State -1.5 Many people are down on the Aggies this season because they only return one senior to the squad, but don't mix up lack of experience with lack of talent. Utah State is a talented squad and this is a very favorable price with them at home. Utah State always gets up for these opening tips, winning 15 of their 16 season openers under head coach Stew Morrill, including a perfect 8-0 mark at home. As mentioned above, the Aggies are youtful, but they definitely aren't void of talent. Freshman forward David Collette will be a big presence on the inside, while reports out of Utah suggest that sophomore forward Jalen Moore is ready to take a big step forward this season. Weber State enjoyed a run into the second round of the NCAA Tournament a year ago, where they were upended by Arizona, 68-59. This is a solid Wildcats team, but it's important to note that they did most of their damage at home a season ago. Weber State was 14-2 at home, but just 5-10 on the road last season. The Aggies are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 non-conference games and 15-6-2 ATS in their last 23 home games. Take Utah State. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

11-14-14 | Philadelphia 76ers v. Houston Rockets UNDER 205 | 87-88 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
Houston & Philadelphia under 205 Thursday night was a night to forget for the 76ers as they suffered their worst loss in over 21 years. It's no secret that Philadelphia is a bad team. but after being humiliated on Thursday, we expect them to put their best foot forward on Friday. The 76ers' defensive efficiency numbers are ugly, but the last three games have seen those numbers skyrocket to unsustainably bad levels. Playing the second game of a back-to-back, Philadelphia will do their best to slow the pace and limit the Rockets' field goal attempts. These teams met on November 3, with the 76ers holding Houston to 104 points in a 104-93 loss. If Philadelphia can keep Houston in the low 100s again tonight, we believe this has a great shot of staying under the total. As bad as Philadelphia has been on defense, they've been just as bad on offense. The 76ers' offensive efficiency numbers are also embarrassing, but what's going unnoticed is just how good the Rockets have played on defense. The Rockets have limited opponents to just 92.1 points per game, second in the league behind only Memphis. The under is 12-2 in the 76ers' last 14 games playing on no days rest. The under is 6-0 in the Rockets' last 6 games following a win of 10+ points. Take the UNDER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

11-11-14 | Sacramento Kings v. Dallas Mavericks -7 | 98-106 | Win | 100 | 6 h 47 m | Show | |
Dallas Mavericks -6.5 (If you get it 8* Play) The Dallas Mavericks were beaten at home two days ago by the Miami Heat. That loss couldn’t have sat well with Dallas, and now that they’ve been able to sit back and think about that one, this looks like a good spot for them to bounce back. Sacramento is clearly an improved team, but they aren’t as improved as the oddsmakers believe right now. The Kings started to show that in their last game by losing on the road to an extremely short-handed Oklahoma City Thunder team. Sacramento is a team that has to outscore the opponent to win, and Dallas is a tough team outscore. The Mavericks will likely have one of the best offenses in the league again this year. They have so many scoring options that it is tough to shut everyone down. Parsons was a really nice addition to this team that was already very good. Remember, Dallas nearly knocked out the Spurs in the playoffs last year. Sacramento scores a lot of points because they put up a bunch of shots. They won’t get clean looks at the hoop nearly as often as Dallas does. The Mavericks have plenty of reason to be motivated here. Lay the number. Take Dallas. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-10-14 | New Orleans Pelicans +6 v. Cleveland Cavaliers | 111-118 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |
New Orleans +6 The Cavs are just 2-3 to begin the season and this new-look version of the team is facing the same issues that the Heat faced when the "Big Three" signed on in Miami. Talent alone isn't enough to win basketball games. The Cavaliers are stacked from top to bottom but there are clearly some major chemistry issues with this squad right now. Sure, the Cavs beat Denver last time out, but we can't simply ignore their losses to Utah and New York. The first month of the season will be a tough stretch for Cleveland, especially since they will be getting the very best effort out of every opponent that they face. New Orleans has taken a major step up from last season to this season. The Pelicans come in to this one off of back-to-back victories over the Bobcats and the Spurs, both of which saw them shoot roughly 47% from the field. New Orleans struggled to get things going early in the season, but their offense has found its form as of late. That's particularly troubling for a Cavs team that's allowed the lowly Knicks and Jazz to shoot above 50% from the field this season. This number is simply too big for our liking, in a game that we view as a tossup. The Pelicans are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games against Eastern Conference opponents. Take New Orleans.

New York Knicks +1 The New York Knicks host the Washington Wizards on Tuesday night. The Knicks are coming off a 96-93 win over Charlotte, while the Wizards beat Milwaukee their last time out, 108-97. Washington is simply the more balanced team here, even with Bradley Beal recovering from a broken wrist. The Wizards have gotten great contributions from their bench, and their big guns, Nene, Marcin Gortat, and John Wall have played like big guns in the early going. Washington's starters have outscored the Bucks and Magic 171-117 in two games. We're buying into the Wizards this season and we'll gladly grab them as an underdog, in a role where they should likely be favored. Take Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

11-01-14 | Chicago Bulls v. Minnesota Timberwolves +2.5 | 106-105 | Win | 100 | 6 h 44 m | Show | |
Timberwolves +2.5 At first glance, this would appear to be a short price with the Bulls, but there are so many factors working against them on Saturday that we're happy to get any underdog tag with the Timberwolves. Chicago played an extremely tough game last night, falling to the Cavs 114-108 in overtime. They now have to head out on the road to play a game on tired legs, and it wouldn't be surprising to see them fall flat after last night's emotional effort. To make matters worse, the Bulls are banged up. Derrick Rose left last night's game after spraining his ankle, and his status for tonight is still unclear. Even if Rose does play, he certainly won't be anywhere close to 100%. Taj Gibson also suffered an ankle sprain yesterday, and expressed concerns about it "blowing up overnight". Minnesota is coming off of a 97-91 victory over the Pistons on Thursday, but that score doesn't truly indicate how that game played out. The T'Wolves took their foot off the gas after building up a 19-point margin over Detroit. Minnesota only turned the ball over 12 times in that contest after Flip Saunders emphasized protection of the ball, following their 23 turnover performance in Game 1. The Bulls were outrebounded badly last night, which spells trouble on the inside against Nikola Pekovic. Take the T'Wolves. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

10-29-14 | Oklahoma City Thunder v. Portland Trail Blazers -8 | 89-106 | Win | 100 | 20 h 58 m | Show | |
Portland Trailblazers -8 The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely only have nine players available on Wednesday night. Everyone knows about the Kevin Durant injury, but he’s not the only key injury. Oklahoma City will be without Reggie Jackson, Mitch McGary, Anthony Morrow, and probably Jeremy Lamb as well. That means the Thunder will be really thin in the backcourt. While Russell Westbrook is obviously a good player, he sometimes forces things too much and it almost always hurts the team when he does this. Westbrook will basically be forced to push the issue without Durant and the rest of the cast around him, and that shouldn’t bring positive results. The Trailblazers had a great run last year. Portland started the season red hot last year, and I won’t be a bit surprised if they do the same thing again this season. Portland has a nice combination of young talent and veteran leadership on their squad. The Rose Garden is arguably the biggest home court advantage in the NBA. Oklahoma City is walking into a tough spot with a wounded and short-handed team. Portland is going to be pumped up for the opener too. They won’t look past Oklahoma City. Lay the points. Take Portland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

Miami Heat & San Antonio Under The Miami Heat host the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday night in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. The Spurs are coming off a big win in Game 3 of the series in which they enjoyed a historic shooting night en route to a 111-92 victory. The Spurs came out guns a blazin’ in Game 3, knocking down 19 of their first 21 shots from the field, including each of their first six three-point attempts. When the dust settled, the Spurs had set the Finals record for field goal percentage in a half by connecting on 75.8 percent of their shots from the field. This series is really playing out very similarly to last year’s edition. The under was the play in Miami a year ago, and even with an historic shooting performance in Game 3, the teams only played over the total by 5.5 points. With the Heat spending hours in the film room on Wednesday, it’s safe to say a repeat shooting night from the Spurs shouldn’t be expected, and we can safely cash our under tickets in this one. The under is 12-5 in the Spurs’ last 17 games following a win of more than 10 points, and it is 7-3 in the Heat’s last 10 games following a loss of more than 10 points. Take the UNDER.

San Antonio +5 The Miami Heat host the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Miami won Game 2 in the series on Sunday, 98-96. With Sunday’s win, the Heat have stolen home court advantage away from the Spurs, and that bodes well for their chances moving forward. The Heat have won a franchise record 11 straight postseason games at home. That fact surely won’t scare the Spurs. Looking back on it, the last team to win a playoff game in Miami was the Spurs. The Spurs were undone by a dynamic performance by one of the game’s best players of all time. Betting against LeBron James is hard, but betting against Gregg Popovich in a bounce back spot is just silly. Expect the Spurs to get off on the right foot on the road as they did a year ago. The Spurs are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall, while the Heat are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a win. Take San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

Miami Heat -2 The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat head back to Bankers Life Fieldhouse for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals as the series shifts back to Indianapolis. The Heat took Game 4 in the series on Monday by a score of 102-90. Pacers head coach Frank Vogel said that the Heat’s domination of this series has his team’s confidence shaken. That was evident in Roy Hibbert’s stat line, as he appears to have lost whatever it was he re-found. The Heat certainly aren’t an opponent a team would want to square off with when their confidence is shaken. With all the talk of how important home court advantage would be in this series, the Heat would love to send the Pacers packing in their own barn. The team already has a win at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in this series, and they’ll surely want to end this series early after the Pacers gave them so much trouble a year ago. The Heat are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall, while the Pacers are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play |

Miami Heat -2 The Indiana Pacers and Miami Heat will continue the Eastern Conference Finals at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indiana on Tuesday night. The Pacers took the opener in the series quite handily, claiming a 107-96 decision on May 20. The Pacers really stepped out of our usual expectations for them by playing a strong offensive game in Game 1, coming away with a win despite a subpar performance by their standards at the defensive end. The Pacers shot 51.5 percent from the field and 42.1 percent from beyond the arc in the contest, getting a little help from the officials with 37 trips to the charity stripe. The Pacers were able to utilize a strong inside-outside game at the offensive end, and while they were able to have plenty of success with it in Game 1, don’t be surprised if the Heat make some serious adjustments to slow them down in Game 2. The Heat are in a prime bounce-back spot here, and come in at a very favorable number. The Pacers are 3-15 ATS in their last 18 contests following a game in which they scored 100 or more points, and they are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 home games. With this game presenting unique edges in a prime situation, we’ll gladly bump this up to our top rating. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray 10* Play |

The two sides have taken very different paths to the conference finals, with the Heat brushing off the Bobcats and Nets, while the Pacers needed seven games to get past the Hawks, then let the Wizards bring them to a sixth game. The Heat are just playing at a whole different level than the Pacers right now. Indiana was able to step up their game and down the Wizards, but Miami presents an entirely different test, and the Pacers could be in for a rude awakening in this one. After the Hawks and Wizards each took the series opener from the Pacers on their home court, there is little reason to believe the Heat won’t do the same. The Pacers are 17-37-1 ATS in their last 55 games overall, while the Heat are 4-0 ATS in their last four games played on three or more days rest. Take Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

The Thunder are coming off a 105-104 win in Game 5 of the series. A motivated Clippers squad will surely be on the court on Thursday after the circumstances in which they came to lose Game 5, and they will have a friendly home crowd behind them. Point guard Chris Paul had a poor game on Tuesday, and you can be sure the All-Star will bounce back with a big game in front of the Clipper faithful. As for the Thunder, they barely scraped past the Clippers on their home court despite a poor game from the Los Angeles side. Now they have to travel and play Game 6 on the road, which doesn't bode well for their chances in this one. The Thunder found themselves down by double-digits again in Game 5, and the Clippers surely won't give up another big lead on their home court. The Thunder are 3-7 in their last 10 conference semifinal games. Take Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play |

The Spurs are coming off a 118-103 win in Game 3 of the series on Saturday. The Spurs have simply been rolling along now, finding another gear since falling behind 2-1 to the Dallas Mavericks, going 6-1 since then, including four consecutive wins. The Blazers simply have no answer for the Spurs' offense, as they defense has had no answer for a Spurs offense that is scoring 116.0 points per game in this series. It all starts with point guard Tony Parker, who has been on the top of his game since recovering from an ankle injury that plagued him in the Mavericks series. Damian Lillard can certainly score the basketball, but he is one of the worst defenders in basketball, and that has allowed Parker to do what he wants int his series. The Spurs have won the three games by an average margin of 18.7 points. The Spurs are 3-0 ATS in this series. Take San Antonio. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play on San Antonio Spurs -4 |

Despite the success the over has been having in the Wizards’ games, the oddsmakers continue to pump out similar totals for their games. We’ll gladly continue to ride this money train for as long as they allow us. The over cashed in each of the two postseason games at the Verizon Center this season, with the Wizards averaging 97.5 points against a stout Bulls team. The two games went over by a combined 20 points. After Game2 in the series went under, we’ll gladly go back to the well in a bounce back situation for both offenses.

Clippers vs. Thunder Under 215 The Los Angeles Clippers put on an offensive clinic in Game One of this Western Conference semifinals. While the Clippers are an amazing offensive team, it’s important to remember that Oklahoma City is one of the top five defenses in the NBA. The Thunder have lots of pride, and after being blown out I expect them to bounce back in this one. The biggest spot that bounce back will likely occur is on the defensive end. Expect the Thunder to bring much better effort here. In the regular season, these teams met four times. Three of those meetings stayed under this posted total. In general, playoff games are usually lower scoring because of the increased importance of the game and some better defense. The fact that the first game was so high scoring has created a nice opportunity to get the under at a very high number here. There should be a solid amount of points scored in this game, but this is just too high of a number. Look for some pride on the defensive end here. Take the under.

There’s no secret that the Trail Blazers play outstanding offense with little regard for their own end. Meanwhile, the Spurs have really transitioned into more of an offensive team in recent years, and that’s led to a healthy number of overs. The Spurs have hit 100 more points in seven of the last eight meetings between these teams. In four regular season meetings between these sides, the over at this number would have cashed in three times, with San Antonio averaging 104.8 points in those meetings, and the Trail Blazers racking up 105.8. The Spurs struggled to score in their first couple of playoff games, but have scored 109, 111, and 119 points in their last three games respectively.

The Wizards play a fast-paced, aggressive style on offense, and that's going to pose major problems for a Pacers defense that is in shambles at the moment. The Pacers allowed the Hawks to score 93.3 points per game on their home floor, while scoring 95.8 of their own, and now a more-skilled Wizards team comes to town, one that doesn't pay as much attention to their play at the defensive end as the Hawks do, letting the defensive-minded Bulls average 94.5 points per game in the first four contests in that series.

Their struggles have been detailed at length by many outlets. The team simply has no business giving this many points away to an underrated Hawks side. The lone edge the Pacers seem to have entering this contest is that they get it at home, but a simple look at this series shows that the Hawks have taken two of three at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in this series.

The Rockets have had a ton of trouble slowing LaMarcus Aldridge, as he's been allowed to pretty much score at will, and there's little reason to believe the Rockets will have things figured out on Wednesday after failing to slow him down in the first four games of the series.

The Hawks have looked every bit the part of Goliath-killer in this series, with guard Jeff Teague really coming into his own as the series has progressed. The Pacers, meanwhile, haven’t looked like the team that claimed the East’s top seed, and that largely has to do with the regression of Roy Hibbert, who has taken a major step back, with reports indicating he may have suffered a concussion towards the end of March. Saturday’s Game 4 went right down to the wire, despite a major shooting discrepancy. The Pacers shot 48.1 percent from the floor, while the Hawks shot just 35.7 percent, yet the Pacers still needed some big three-pointers down the stretch to eke out a win. Expect a regression back towards the mean in this one. The Hawks are 5-1 ATS in their last six road games, while the Pacers are 3-10 AS in their last 13 home games. Take Atlanta.

In total, over bettors have gone 3-0 in this series, yet the total has remained relatively unchanged throughout the series. It was even bet down in the lead up to Game 1. Clearly bettors are reading too much into Chicago’s strong defensive ways, as that just hasn’t translated to the opening round of the playoffs, as the over has cashed in in each of their last seven conference quarterfinal games. The Wizards are a prime opponent for high-scoring games, giving their fast pace on offense, and their utter disregard for sound defensive play.

Memphis is coming off a 98-95 win in Game 3 of this series on Thursday night, giving the team a 2-1 series lead. A pair of overtime contests have many thinking this series has been more offensive than it has been, with each of those two overtime games playing over the total, while the game that ended in regulation stayed under the number. The Grizzlies really pride themselves on their ability to play defense, with the crowd really getting behind them when they are at that end of the court. Their support really helped the team to shut down the Thunder in Game 3, with the game set to play well under the number prior to a late collapse by the Grizzlies. Another overtime session shouldn't be counted on this time around, while the Grizzlies can be expected to stifle the Thunder once again.

Memphis Grizzlies +3 The Memphis Grizzlies host the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday night. Memphis is coming off a 98-95 win in Game 3 of this series on Thursday night, giving the team a 2-1 series lead. The Grizzlies seem to have things trending in the same direction as last year's playoff series between these teams, when they lost Game 1, then came back to win each of the next four games to win the series. The Grizzlies dropped Game 1 in this year's series, and now have back-to-back wins. Notably, the team absolutely dominated in the first 40 minutes of Game 3, but their late collapse allows us to get in on this one at a very fair number. The Grizzlies have won 15 home games in a row, and there's no reason to think that another late collapse is in the cards, as the team should have things figured out by the time they throw the ball up on this one. The Grizzlies are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games, while the Thunder are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Take Memphis. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play on Memphis Grizzlies +3 |

Washington & Chicago over 181.5 The Washington Wizards host the Chicago Bulls on Friday night in Game 3 of their opening round playoff series. The Wizards won Game 2 in the series on Tuesday night, 101-99 in overtime. We cashed a ticket on the over in Game 1 of this series, and it cruised easily over the total by 15 points, with some bettors’ tickets cashing by 16.5 points after the total was bet DOWN! Yet, even following another over in Game 2, the total remains relatively unchanged, offering us a prime opportunity to go right back to that well. The series shifting back to Washington is only reason for more confidence in the over, as the Wizards will surely get their points on their homecourt, with the Bulls forced to pick up their play as well just to keep up. The Wizards averaged 105.3 points per game in their final three regular season home games. The over is 4-0 in the Wizards’ last four games overall, and 5-1 in the Bulls’ last six games overall. The over is also 6-0 in the Bulls’ last six conference quarterfinals games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 8* Play on Washington & Chicago over 181.5 |

Indiana Pacers -2 The Atlanta Hawks host the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night in Game 3 of their opening round playoff series. Indiana is coming off a win in Game 2, 101-85. The Pacers enter the postseason as the East's top seed, yet they give away just two points in this one. The Pacers dropped off significantly down the stretch, even giving away Game 1, and endured some tough media reports on Wednesday. With all that said, the Pacers showed more than enough in Game 2 to lead us to believe they have turned things around for the better, and are set to go on a run, and we are more than happy to get in on the ground floor. The biggest changes for the Pacers took place at the defensive end of the court. The team finally made adjustments to the Hawks' pick-and-roll, namely, they had Roy Hibbert move away from the basket to cover his man, and that gave the Hawks fits. Expect more strong adjustments from the East's top seed as they prove their worth. The favorite is 26-10-1 ATS in the last 37 meetings between these teams. Take Indiana.

Houston Rockets -6 The Houston Rockets host the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. Portland won Game 1 in the series in overtime on Sunday, 122-120.
LaMarcus Aldridge took over for the Trail Blazers in Game 1, in a game in which he was mostly guarded by Terrence Jones. That allowed him to post a career-playoff high in scoring. This time around, the Rockets can be expected to do a better job of defending their own basket. The team now faces a virtual must-win on their home court, and it is tough to envision the team not giving forth an A-effort in this one.
Dwight Howard has said he plans to spend more time covering Aldridge, while also taking more control at the offensive end after controlling the paint at the offensive end to the tune of 27 points and 15 total rebounds in Game 1. Expect the Rockets to show up with a better game plan in Game 2 than they did in Game 1.
The Trail Blazers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine conference quarterfinals games.
Take Houston.

Miami & Charlotte over 186 The Miami Heat and Charlotte Bobcats will continue their opening round playoff series in South Beach on Wednesday night. Miami handily won Game 1 in the series on Sunday, 99-88.
The Heat simply have the Bobcats’ number, and they’ll be looking to put an exclamation mark on this series before taking to the road. The Big three have dominated the Bobcats to a tune of a 16-0 record since their arrival in South Beach, and Wednesday’s meeting should be no different with so much on the line. Dwyane Wade also showed no ill effects of the injuries that plagued him during the year, scoring 23 points and adding five assists while knocking down 10 of his 16 shots from the field.
With that being said, expect Charlotte to get their points. The teams have played over the total in each of their last four meetings. The Bobcats also respond to losses with points, playing over the total in 19 of their last 26 games following a loss.
The over is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these teams, and 10-2 in the Heat’s last 12 games against divisional opponents.
Take the OVER.

Toronto & Brooklyn over 188.5 The Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets continue their opening round playoff series on Tuesday for Game 2. Brooklyn claimed Game 1 in the series on Saturday, 94-87.
The Nets actually took a step backward in their shooting from distance in Game 1, hitting three of four three-point attempts to open the game, but then missing 19 in a row. The team’s bench players also missed all 12 of their attempts from beyond the arc.
Additionally, the Nets should knock down some more of their long-range shots after struggling mightily in that department in Game 1, hitting on just four of 24 shots from downtown. The Raptors picked up their pace of play down the stretch, and another high-scoring effort appears to be in the cards for Tuesday.
As for the Raptors, star guard DeMar DeRozan went just 3-for-13 from the field for 14 points, though he did get to the line eight times and knock down each of those shots. The Raptors could have used some more help from DeRozan in Game 1, and now that he’s gotten his first playoff game out of the way, he should be better this time around, leading to a more efficient scoring effort from the Raptors.
The over is 6-1 in the Raptors’ last seven home games, and 4-1 in the Nets’ last five conference quarterfinal games.
With the oddsmakers getting this total flat out wrong, we'll bump this play up to our top rating.
Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray

Chicago & Washington over 180.5 The Chicago Bulls host the Washington Wizards on Sunday night in game one of their opening round playoff series. The oddsmakers simply got this number wrong. The public perception of the Bulls is a team that plays smothering defense and can’t score the basketball, but the team made significant strides at the offensive end of the court in the latter part of this season, thanks largely to the development of Joakim Noah, and the emergence of D.J. Augustin as a viable scoring option off the bench – he could very well win the Sixth Man of the Year award. A year ago, a more offensively challenged Bulls team played over the total in five of its seven opening round series games against the Nets. This year, they draw a Wizards team that sure knows how to score the basketball, averaging 97.0 points in two trips to Chicago this season, with both contests playing over the total. The Wizards like to push the pace of their games, while largely ignoring their end of the court, which is going to lead to points in this one. They come in hot as well, averaging 112.0 points per game over their final three contests, including a 114-point effort against the Heat. The over is 4-0 in the Bulls’ last four conference quarterfinal games. Take the OVER. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play on Chicago & Washington over 180.5 |

Memphis Grizzlies +7 The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night in Game 1 of their opening round playoff series.
We were very active in backing the Grizzlies in the postseason a year ago, and we are going right back to that well with a woefully underseeded squad this year. Marc Gasol is the key here. In the games he missed, Memphis compiled a 10-13 record. By the time he returned to the lineup from the knee injury that sidelined him for 23 games, the Grizzlies were 17-19 and on the outside looking in of the Western Conference playoff picture.
Upon his return, the Grizzlies hit the ground running, winning nine of 10, and closing the year on a five-game winning streak to clinch a playoff spot. The Grizzlies compiled a 33-13 record over their final 46 games of the season, good for a .717 winning percentage, which would have placed them third in the Western Conference had they maintained that mark over the course of the entire season.
Now they get a Thunder team that they beat in the postseason a year ago, winning that series in only five games. The lone game they lost was by just two points.
The Grizzlies are 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings between these teams.
Take Memphis.
Good Luck, Razor Ray

Chicago Bulls -2.5
The Minnesota Timberwolves host the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. Minnesota is coming off a 110-91 win over San Antonio, while Chicago beat Washington its last time out, 96-78. The Bulls are laser-focused right now, and we’re glad to get behind them at a reasonable price. Chicago has beaten each of its last four opponents by double-digits, and comes to town having won five in a row. Looking further back, Chicago has held 12 of its last 13 opponents under 100 points, limiting opponents to 88.4 points per game over the course of their five-game winning streak. As for the Timberwolves, they’ll be confident entering this matchup, having beaten San Antonio in their last game, and beating Chicago the last time these teams met. However, the win over San Antonio makes this a pretty good let down spot, while that win over Chicago came more than two months ago, and the Bulls were without Joakim Noak or Kirk Hinrich for that matchup. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS in their last five trips to Minnesota. Take Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play on Chicago Bulls -2.5 |

Sacramento & Oklahoma City under 202.5
The Sacramento Kings play host to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. Both of these teams have a key injury that should affect the pace of this game. Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook is still battling knee issues and is expected to sit out this game for maintenance. Meanwhile, Kings point guard Isaiah Thomas has missed the last six games with a right quad injury and is expected to be sidelined once again tonight. Westbrook and Thomas are both great ball distributors and their absence on the court will affect scoring for both teams. Thomas has already missed seven games this season and the under is 5-2 in those games. Additionally, these two teams are quite used to playing low scoring games against one another. The series has gone under five straight times, with the Kings unable to crack the 95-point barrier in each of those five contests. The Under is 5-0 in the Thunder's last 5 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. The Under is 16-5-2 in he Kings last 23 games vs. Western Conference opponents. Take the UNDER.

The Wisconsin Badgers played in the toughest league in the nation this year. The Big Ten had a bunch of very good teams, so the Badgers are absolutely very well battle tested coming into this game. Kentucky and Florida are elite teams in the SEC, but the rest of the league wasn’t any good. Bo Ryan is finally in his first Final Four, and Ryan is one of the best coaches in the country. Every year he has this Badgers team playing tremendous basketball despite having far less talent than most of the teams around them. This year the Badgers have more talent than normal, and that has led to this Final Four berth. Wisconsin plays with a ton of discipline, and that means a lot in games that are as important as this one. It would be easy to freak out and make silly mistakes, but that’s far less likely to happen to a team like the Badgers. Kentucky has been exceptional in the NCAA Tournament, but this is still a very young team. The Wildcats are prone to turning the ball over too often, and that won’t work against a team like Wisconsin. Bo Ryan will have a great game plan ready for this one, and I expect it to frustrate the youngsters. This Wisconsin team is disciplined and dangerous. Take Wisconsin.

The Atlanta Hawks host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday. Atlanta is coming off a 105-92 win over Chicago, while Cleveland beat Orlando its last time out, 119-98. The collapse of the Hawks this season has been painful to watch. The team has dropped seven of its last eight games, and 21 of its last 28 games. It really hasn't been pretty. The team also hasn't been very friendly to bettors, going 5-22-1 ATS in those 28 games. As for the Cavaliers, they've been trending in the opposite direction. Cleveland has wins in five of its last six games, with three of those wins coming on the road. They've also gone 8-1 ATS in their last nine games overall. While Atlanta's lone win in their last eight games came against lowly Philadelphia, Cleveland has wins over playoff-bound Indiana and Toronto in the last 10 days. Getting Kyrie Irving back is a big boost to the team as they prepare to go on a run, as Irving went 7-for-8 from the field in the team's win over Orlando on Wednesday. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven games. Take Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray 9* Play |

The New York Knicks host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday evening. The Nets are coming off a 105-96 victory over the Rocekts on Tuesday night, securing a playoff spot in the East. With this being the second night of a back-to-back situation, Brooklyn is primed for a letdown. The Nets are just 5-11 in the second game of a back-to-back this season and they may not bring their A-game here after clinching a postseason birth. Meanwhile, the Knicks are playing their best basketball of the season. New York has won 11 of their last 14 games to climb within one game of Atlanta for the Eastern Conference's final playoff spot. It's safe to say that this game is the most important game of the year for New York. Most impressively for New York is that they won 3 of the 5 games on their recent West Coast road trip; a feat that has been difficult for Eastern Conference teams to achieve this season. The Knicks are 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days. Take New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray 7* Play on New York Knicks -2 |

Michigan +2.5
The Kentucky Wildcats have absolutely made an impressive run through the NCAA Tournament thus far, but I feel like Michigan is being overlooked a bit here by bettors and the oddsmakers. The Wolverines won the Big Ten Conference, and the Big Ten has proven to be the best college basketball league in the nation this year. Kentucky upset both Wichita State and Louisville, but the Wildcats won’t be at full strength in this one. Cauley-Stein is the team’s primary center, and he is expected to miss this game due to an injury. Without him, the Wildcats don’t have as big of an advantage on the boards as they otherwise would have. Michigan has a plethora of outside shooters, and that was on full display in their win over Tennessee on Friday night. The Wolverines have consistently been a top notch team over the past few couple months. Michigan has played one of the toughest schedules in the country this year, and they are very battle tested. While I’ve been super impressed with the Wildcats play over the last couple weeks, I also believe that this line is inflated based on their last two games. Michigan has proven they are a top team all year, while Kentucky hasn’t. Take Michigan. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 7* Play On Michigan +2.5 |

No one in the NBA plays at a slower tempo than the Memphis Grizzlies. Memphis experimented with speeding things up early this year and it failed miserably. Why would a team with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph in the paint want to speed the game up anyways? Memphis is at their best when they walk it up the court and pound the ball inside to their two dominant big men. Defensively, Memphis was weak early in the season, but they have been one of the top five defenses in the NBA in the second half of the season. Golden State prefers to play fast, but the Warriors actually have the third best defense in the NBA behind only Indiana and Chicago. The Warriors and Grizzlies have a history of playing low scoring games. The under is 2-0 in their meetings this year. The under is also 7-1 in the Grizzlies last 8 games. This game is important to both teams because of the playoff standings. These teams are trying to position themselves to be in the best spot to advance once they get into the playoffs.

The Pacers are flying high off a hard fought win over the Heat, a game which clinched the team;s second straight division title. That's great for them, but they're in for a major letdown on this night. We've been eager to fade the Pacers given their poor recent play of late, and have been very successful in doing so, and with Indiana in a major letdown spot, we'll go right back to that well here. As for Washington, their won/loss record of late isn't great, but the team just endured a long stretch of road games. A closer look shows the team has performed quite well when the schedule's been in their favor, as it is on this night. John Wall in particular has been great of late, averaging 25.2 points and 9.7 assists over his last four games. The Pacers are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 road games. Take Washington.

SDSU vs. Arizona Under 122.5
The San Diego State Aztecs and Arizona Wildcats both got to this point with defense. Steve Fisher and Sean Miller are both high quality coaches, and they are defense-first coaches. Both of these teams like to play a half court style game that allows their defense to win the game for them. These teams met earlier this year in a game that Arizona won 69-60. I expect the score here to be lower because both teams shot the ball better than expected in the first one. In addition, a game of this magnitude generally brings some jitters and hurts the shooting percentages. This is easily the lowest posted total of the Sweet 16 matchups, but I think the total is still posted too high. Oddsmakers don |

For Washington, they would love nothing more than to earn a split of their current four-game road trip. Denver, meanwhile, surely can't help but look ahead beyond this game, with dates against the Western Conference elite on deck. The team will fly right to Oklahoma City after this game, with a date against the Thunder on Monday, then a game in San Antonio on Wednesday. The team also has games against Houston, Memphis, and Golden State on deck. As for Washington, John Wall is at the top of his game right now, dishing out 28 assists over the last two games, and is hitting on 50 percent of his shots from beyond the arc in the month of March. Getting Marcin Gortat back from injury helped in a big way in their last game, as he contributed a double-double in the team's win over the Lakers.

The Memphis Grizzlies host the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. Memphis is coming off a 91-86 loss to Miami, while Indiana beat Chicago their last time out, 91-79. The public has been slow to react to the current form of the Pacers. Indiana locked up a playoff spot earlier this month and is now just coasting through the regular season. The Pacers are just 5-5 in their last 10 games, picking up three of those wins against bottom-dwellers Boston and Philadelphia, and another in Detroit, needing overtime to get past a bad Pistons team. The team's recent wins aren't reason to think they've turned things around, because they'll now be facing a formidable opponent on Saturday. As for Memphis, they've been a completely different squad since returning Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph to the middle of their defense.

The Grizzlies are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these teams, while the Pacers are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games, and 0-4 ATS in their last four games against Western Conference opponents.
