Going back to last season, Gonzalez is a perfect 8-0 on the money line in his last 8 starts. He's given up 1 earned run or fewer in 6 of those victories.

The Thunder are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 vs. teams from the NBA Southwest division and just 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 home games versus Dallas. The Mavs are sick of hearing they're all washed up.

Strasburg is one of the best young pitchers in baseball but he faces a major challenge against a lineup hitting .291 at home. The Nats are batting just .221 on the road.

The Rangers are even 22-7 in home games vs. an AL starting pitcher whose ERA is 3.50 or better since the beginning of last season. Shields has dropped 3 of his last 4 at Texas, giving up at least 5 runs in those losses. The Rangers, who are a terrific 40-15 in their last 55 games as a home favorite, are in good hands with Harrison, who is 3-0 with an ERA of 1.66. He's 2-0 lifetime with an ERA of 1.38 against the Rays, who are 0-4 in their last 4 road games vs. a left-handed starter. The Rangers are 6-0 in Harrison's last 6 starts during game 1 of a series and 6-0 in his last 6 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. The Rangers are 20-6 in his last 26 starts overall. Take Texas.

The Clippers won the season's first meeting by 14 points, and they hold the advantage again tonight. Due to injuries, Atlanta's front line is weak. LA should be able to own the paint.

This is because Kennedy is on the hill for the D-backs, who are 7-0 in his last 7 starts as a favorite of -110 to -150. It's also important to note that the Braves are 0-7 in their last 7 games as an underdog, 0-6 in their last 6 games as a road underdog and 0-4 in their last 4 games as an underdog of +110 to +150.

The Lakers are 25-7 at home this season where they have wins over Miami, Boston, LA Clippers and only lost to the Bulls by a single point. The Thunder have really struggled against upper echelon teams this month. Since opening the month with a win over the Bulls, they have lost to Memphis, Miami, Indiana and the Clippers (twice). The Thunder are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning record. The Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a loss of more than 10 points and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog of 4.5 points or less. Take LA.

A win gives them the 6-seed in the East so they can avoid Chicago and Miami.

7* NBA Eastern Conference Game of the Month on 76ers -3 The Key: Philly dropped into an 8th-place tie with the Knicks in the East following Monday's 113-100 loss to Orlando. The 76ers allowed the Magic to shoot 53.3% in that game. Following that disappointing performance, and needing every win it can get down the stretch, I fully expect the 76ers to roll in their home finale. Philly is the No. 1 defensive team in the league, holding its foes to just 88.8 ppg. It also ranks No. 2 in field goal percentage defense, holding its opponents to just 42.5% shooting. I'm confident Philadelphia will be very dialed in on the defensive end here. The 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Lay the points and best of luck.

7* NBA Game of the Week on Magic -5 The Key: The Magic are a team capable of beating anybody or losing to anybody, but I love them at home today. Off consecutive defeats, we can be assured that they'll leave it all on the floor. Plus, the Magic are 13-1 in their last 14 home contests against the Nuggets and those wins have come by over 11.0 points on average. Denver is coming off a win but hasn't won consecutive games since early last month. It is 0-7 ATS in its last 7 contests following a victory.

7* Final 4 *HEAVY HITTER* on Ohio State -2.5 The Key: We can throw Kansas' 11-point home win over Ohio State in December out the door because Sullinger didn't play in that contest. With arguably the best big man in the country operating down low this time around, I love Ohio State's chances. The Buckeyes are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as a favorite and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. The Jayhawks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win. Take Ohio State.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on 76ers -6 The Key: The Hawks are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes the previous day. The 76ers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home favorite and 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5 points. Also, the Hawks are 1-6 ATS in the last 7 meetings. The 76ers have won the last 4 meetings in this series by an average of 16.0 points and will be very hungry tonight after getting embarrassed by Washington last night.

6* Final 4 CA$H COW on Louisville +8.5 The Key: The Cardinals are 8-0 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games following a SU win, 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games following an ATS win and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as an underdog. The Wildcats are only 3-11-1 ATS in their last 15 non-conference games. Louisville lost to Kentucky by 7 points in the season's first meeting, and I believe it has what it takes to keep this one even closer.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Hawks -3 The Key: Expect the Knicks to struggle tonight on the road without Amar'e Stoudemire against a physical Atlanta squad that ranks 5th in the NBA in scoring defense with 93.1 ppg allowed. The Knicks have dropped 7 of their last 9 on the highway while the Hawks have won 7 of their last 10 at home. We'll lay the points as I expect the Hawks to be extremely focused after the whoopin' Chicago gave them Wednesday.

6* Cavs +5 The Key: The Cavs have lost 5 in a row and both meetings with Milwaukee this season, so they'll be playing some inspired ball tonight in hopes of stopping the bleeding. The Bucks are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 versus division foes. Also, they are 5-13 ATS this season after failing to cover the number in 2 of their last 3 games. They have lost by an average score of 100.6 to 96.4 in this situation.

6* NBA Bailout on Lakers -105 The Key: The Lakers have won 11 of their last 12 at home in this series by over 10.5 ppg on average. The Thunder enter off a double-digit win and cover in Portland but are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a win of more than 10 points and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games following an ATS win. The Thunder have lost 2 of their last 4 on the road to lesser teams (Hawks, Jazz). This is their toughest road contest to date (in my opinion), and I have them coming up short against an LA squad that is 20-4 at home on the season.

7* NBA *HEAVY HITTER* on Heat -8 The Key: After consecutive double-digit losses, the Heat will be out for blood against the team that took them down in the Finals. History is on our side in a big way as home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points (MIAMI) off a road loss by 10 points or more, a good team (winning 60% to 75% of their games) playing a team with a winning record, are 41-17 (71%) ATS the last 5 seasons. It must be noted that the Heat are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a defeat of more than 10 points. The Mavs have dropped 8 of their last 10 on the highway with those 8 defeats coming by an average of 10.8 points. Their last 3 road losses have come by an average of 19.0 points. We'll bet Miami.
