03-27-24 | Spurs v. Jazz -3 | Top | 118-111 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 23 m | Show |
MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to fade the San Antonio Spurs following their upset win as a 12-point underdog to the Phoenix Suns on Monday. The Spurs are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win, and they'll face a Utah Jazz team looking to snap back from a 115-105 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. The Jazz are 19-9-2 ATS in their last 30 games following a double-digit loss at home and 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 games as a favorite of 0.5-4.5. 4* PLAY ON THE JAZZ. |

03-27-24 | Lakers v. Grizzlies OVER 221.5 | Top | 136-124 | Win | 100 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
5* NBA WESTERN CONF TOTAL OF THE WEEK The Los Angeles Lakers will play on short rest following a 128-124 loss to the Bucks in Milwaukee last night. Tired legs typically equal high-scoring games for the Lakers, who are 8-0-1 to the over in their last 9 games playing on 0 days rest. The Memphis Grizzlies are coming off a 128-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets, and they've allowed 118 points or more in four of their last five games. 5* PLAY ON THE OVER. |

03-27-24 | Clippers -6 v. 76ers | 108-107 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 51 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CLIPPERS/SIXERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The Philadelphia 76ers are still in playoff contention despite being hit hard with injuries in the second half of the season. They defeated the Clippers 121-107 as a 9-point underdog on Sunday but took a loss to the Sacramento Kings the following night as they closed out a four-game road trip. Both teams will play their third game in four nights, but it's a tougher spot for the shorhanded 76ers and I expect to see a hyper-motivated Clippers as they look to bounce back from losses to the Sixers and the Pacers. Clippers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5. 76ers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5. 76ers are 3-10-1 ATS in their last 14 home games. 3* PLAY ON THE CLIPPERS. |

MIKE'S 4* MAVS/KINGS NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY (10:00 PM) The Sacramento Kings will play on short rest following a 108-96 win over the Philadelphia 76ers and they have held their last five opponents to an average of 102.4 ppg. The Dallas Mavericks have also been feisty on the defensive end of late with only 105, 107, 97 and 105 points allowed through their last four games. Under is 5-1 in Kings last 6 games as a favorite. Under is 55-27 in Mavericks last 82 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

03-26-24 | Warriors v. Heat UNDER 219 | 113-92 | Win | 100 | 11 h 5 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WARRIORS/HEAT TOTAL This looks like a great spot to fade the Miami Heat who are in a potential letdown spot after blowing the doors off the Cavs on Sunday while at the same time backing the Golden State Warriors to rally after back-to-back losses. Heat are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games as a home underdog. Warriors are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up loss. Warriors are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss. Warriors are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. In addition to the Warriors to win the game, I also like the under. Under is 10-1 in Warriors last 11 games as a road favorite. Under is 6-1 in Heat last 7 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 8-1 in Heat last 9 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

03-25-24 | Wizards v. Bulls -12.5 | 107-105 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 14 m | Show | |
MIKE'S WIZARDS/BULLS NBA SIDE This looks like a good spot to back the Chicago Bulls to bounce back from losses as underdogs to the Houston Houston and the Boston Celtics. The Washington Wizards are a far easier opponent, and note that the Bulls are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games vs. a team with a losing straight-up record and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. The Wizards are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and in a letdown spot following back-to-back wins over the Sacramento Kings and the Toronto Raptors. The Wizards are 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up win. 3* PLAY ON THE BULLS. |

03-25-24 | Suns -12 v. Spurs | 102-104 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/SPURS NBA SIDE The Phoenix Suns put a 131-106 beating on the Spurs in Phoenix on Saturday, and I expect them to win big again when facing the Spurs in San Antonio Monday night. Suns are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. Suns are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. 3* PLAY ON THE SUNS. |

03-25-24 | Celtics v. Hawks OVER 224.5 | 118-120 | Win | 100 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CELTICS/HAWKS NBA TOTAL The Boston Celtics have scored 119 points or more in eight straight games. They defeated the Hawks 125-117 in Boston on Feb 7. That game went under the closing total of 244 points, but we're seeing a much lower number for this game. Over is 40-16 in Hawks last 56 Monday games. Over is 8-3 in Hawks last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. Over is 5-1-1 in Celtics last 7 games as a favorite. 3* PLAY ON THE OVER. |

03-24-24 | Warriors +3.5 v. Wolves | Top | 110-114 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 19 m | Show |
5* WESTERN CONF GAME OF THE WEEK The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a 104-91 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers, but I would not be surprised if they lost outright when hosting the Golden State Warriors Sunday night. When fully fit, the Wolves would have a massive advantage in the paint, but that will not be the case for this game. Karl-Anthony Towns is sidelined, and Rudy Gobert is listed as questionable. Additionally, Anthony Edwards is also listed as questionable while the Warriors are coming into the game at full strength. The Warriors will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing 123-111 loss as a home favorite over the Indiana Pacers. Warriors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss, 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss, and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 5* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS. |

03-24-24 | Cavs +4.5 v. Heat | 84-121 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 17 m | Show | |
MIKE'S CAVS/HEAT SIDE This looks like a good spot to back the Cleveland Cavaliers to bounce back-to-back losses SU and ATS. The Cavs are coming off a 104-91 loss to the Timberwolves in Minnesota, but note that they're 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points and 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up loss. They'll visit a Heat team that is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. In addition to the Cavs covering the spread, I also like the under as I think the total is this low for a very good reason as both teams are dealing with injuries. Under is 20-6 in Cavaliers last 26 road games. Under is 12-4 in Heat last 16 home games. Under is 35-16 in Heat last 51 overall. 3* PLAY ON THE CAVS. |

MIKE'S CAVS/HEAT TOTAL This looks like a good spot to back the Cleveland Cavaliers to bounce back-to-back losses SU and ATS.

They'll visit a Heat team that is 2-6 ATS in its last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. In addition to the Cavs covering the spread, I also like the under as I think the total is this low for a very good reason as both teams are dealing with injuries.

MIKE'S CELTICS/BULLS NBA TOTAL BOOKIE BREAKER The Boston Celtics will play on short rest following a 129-102 blowout win in Detroit Friday night. I think we'll see a slower-paced and lower-scoring game when they visit the Bulls in Chicago tonight. Under is 5-1-1 in Celtics last 7 games playing on 0 days rest. Under is 8-3 in Bulls last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

03-23-24 | Suns -9.5 v. Spurs | 131-106 | Win | 100 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
MIKE'S SUNS/SPURS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER This looks like a good spot to fade the San Antonio Spurs, who will play on short rest following a 99-97 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night. The Phoenix Suns are currently the no.7 seed in the West and looking to improve their position and avoid the NBA Play-In Tournament. The Suns will be a team to watch in the playoffs. They have an absolutely elite starting five, arguably the best in the NBA, and I expect them to be able to take advantage of a tired Spurs team. 3* PLAY ON THE PHOENIX SUNS. |

03-23-24 | Jazz v. Rockets UNDER 226.5 | Top | 119-147 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 17 m | Show |
5* WESTERN CONF TOTAL OF THE YEAR MAX BET On Thursday, the Utah Jazz lost 113-97 to the Mavs in Dallas. They have scored 100, 104, 107, and 97 points in their last four games, all of which went under the total. The Houston Rockets have been involved in high-scoring affairs lately, but note that the under is 14-6 in the Rockets' last 20 Saturday games. Additionally, the under is 38-17 in the Rockets' last 55 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. This situation applies to this contest as they're coming off a 127-117 win over the Chicago Bulls. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

5* NCAAB TOURNAMENT ROUND OF 32 GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET The Kansas Jayhawks barely scraped past Samford in a tight game on Thursday, and they've not looked quite right for some time. The Gonzaga Bulldogs, on the other hand, were as dominant as ever in their 21-point win over McNeese State. I see no reason why we wouldn't back the team that looks the part in this matchup. Bulldogs are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as a favorite. Jayhawks are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 neutral site games as an underdog. Jayhawks are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. 5* PLAY ON THE GONZAGA BULLDOGS. |

MIKE'S CELTICS/PISTONS NBA TOTAL In addition to the Celtics winning and covering the spread, I also like the over as I expect Boston to keep pushing the pedal to the metal through four quarters. Over is 14-5-1 in Pistons last 20 games as a home underdog of 11.0 or greater. Over is 5-2-2 in Celtics last 9 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 3* PLAY ON THE OVER. |

03-22-24 | Celtics -12.5 v. Pistons | Top | 129-102 | Win | 100 | 17 h 0 m | Show |
5* NBA EASTERN CONF GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET The Celtics beat the Pistons 119-94 in Boston on Monday and followed that up with a 122-119 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The Pistons are coming off a 122-103 loss to the Pacers, and I don't see how they can keep it close against a Boston team that clearly has no intentions of slowing down or likely to look past any opponent. Celtics are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite. Celtics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite of 11.0 or greater. Celtics are 18-7-2 ATS in their last 27 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. Pistons are 9-23-1 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600. 5* PLAY ON THE CELTICS. |

MIKE'S 4* UAB/SDSU CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The UAB Blazers are coming off an 85-69 victory over Temple in the AAC tournament championship game on Sunday, but today they'll face a much tougher opponent in the San Diego State Aztecs, who will be looking to gear up again following a string of disappointing results. The Aztecs went on a huge run in the tournament last year to reach the national title game, and I think they're a much stronger team than their recent results suggest. 4* PLAY ON SAN DIEGO STATE. |

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY Both teams are hot and coming off convincing wins, but I like the New Orleans Pelicans to come through with a win as road favorites when they visit the Orlando Magic Thursday night. Magic are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.Magic are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

5* NBA EAST vs. WEST GAME OF THE MONTH MAX BET The Toronto will be playing on long rest following a 111-96 loss to the Magic in Orlando on Sunday, but they're still dealing with a ton of injuries, and with a 1-9 SU and 2-8 ATS record in their last 10 games, clearly a team in tanking mode. The Sacramento Kings, meanwhile, are eyeing the postseason. They are 35-17 ATS in their last 52 road games vs. a team with a losing home record and 5-2-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a road favorite, while the Raptors are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 5* PLAY ON THE KINGS. |

MIKE'S PACERS/PISTONS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER This looks like a great spot to back the Indiana Pacers to bounce back from a disappointing 108-103 loss a, a 7-point favorite against the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday night. The Pacers are 9-4-1 ATS off a loss as a favorite this season (5-1 as favorites), and they'll face a Detroit Pistons team that took a 25-point loss in Boston its last time out. 3* PLAY ON THE PACERS. |

The San Antonio Spurs lost 122-115 to Brooklyn their last time out, but they have mostly been involved in relatively low-scoring games lately. Under is 10-2 in Spurs last 12 home games and 16-6-1 in Spurs last 23 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. 4* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

5* NBA EAST vs. WEST GAME OF THE WEEK MAX BET I like the red-hot Houston Rockets to come through with another big win when they visit the Wizards at Capital One Arena Tuesday night. The Wizards lost 130-104 to the Boston Celtics a couple of nights ago and are 0-5 ATS in their last five games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game. The Rockets are coming off an impressive 117-103 win over Cleveland. They are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall and 11-4-1 ATS in their previous 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. 5* PLAY ON THE ROCKETS. |

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Sacramento Kings took a 98-91 loss to the Knicks on Saturday. I expect to see more points when they host the Memphis Grizzlies Monday night. The Grizzlies have one of the worst scoring averages in the league and they play solid D, but I expect the high-paced Kings to drive up the tempo. Over is 28-12 in Kings last 40 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. Over is 5-1 in Grizzlies last 6 games as a road underdog. 4* PLAY ON THE OVER. |

I think we'll see another relatively low-scoring affair Monday night when they host a Miami Heat team on a 6-0 run to the under. Under is 6-2 in 76ers last 8 home games. Under is 20-7 in Heat last 27 games as a road underdog. Under is 27-11 in Heat last 38 games as an underdog.

The Washington Wizards are 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games and were outscored by 10 points or more in all but one of the losses. The Celtics will play on two days of rest, while the Wizards will play on no rest following their 127-98 win in Chicago last night. This game has a major blowout written all over it.

5* SEC TOURNAMENT CBB GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET I like the Auburn Tigers to win and cover when they clash with the Florida Gators in the SEC Championship game on Sunday. Auburn has been heavily favored throughout the tournament, this is the lowest number they've been asked to cover, while Florida was an underdog to Alabama in the quarterfinals and a short favorite over Texas A&M in the semis. Florida won the first meeting of the season on Feb 10, but that was in Gainesville. I think Auburn's edge on the defensive end is too much for Florida to handle. 5* PLAY ON AUBURN TIGERS. |

MIKE'S 5* ATLANTIC 10 TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR MAX BET The VCU Rams won 73-69 when they hosted the St. Joseph's Hawks on Feb 25. I think we'll see an even tighter game when they clash in the Atlantic 10 Championship Semifinal Saturday afternoon. The feisty Hawks are coming off wins as 2-point and 2.5-point underdogs against George Mason and Richmond, respectively, and their 3-point shooting will be a big problem for VCu to solve. 5* PLAY ON ST.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The San Antonio Spurs have played reasonably well on the defensive end lately, with 113, 112 and 103 points allowed through their last three games. The Denver Nuggets are more than capable of running up the score if they want to, but I think they'll be satisfied just to do enough to get the win. Under is 16-5-1 in Spurs last 22 overall. Under is 7-1 in Spurs last 8 games as a home underdog. Under is 22-8-2 in Nuggets last 32 games as a road favorite.

They'll have fresh legs as they've been off since Sunday, and the under is 17-6 in Pelicans last 23 games playing on 2 days rest.

Additionally, they're 12-4 ATS in their last 16 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5.

MIKE'S 4* WARRIORS/SPURS NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a fantastic spot to back the Golden State Warriors to avenge a 126-113 loss as a double-digit favorite against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. That was about as bad as we've seen the Warriors this season, and while they'll still be without Steph Curry (ankle), there's enough talent on this side to destroy a team like the Spurs if they want to, and I expect the motivation to be there for this game. Warriors are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.

The Cleveland Cavaliers headed into the weekend as the 2nd seed in the East with their 41-22 record and defeated the Nets 118-95 in Brooklyn last month. This looks like a tough spot for the Nets who are in the middle of a five-game road trip and will play on back-to-back nights on the road.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* SPURS/WARRIORS NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Golden State Warriors won 118-112 when they hosted the San Antonio Spurs back in November, but I think they'll win this game by a bigger number. The Spurs played the Sacramento Kings close in a 131-129 loss Thursday night, but that might come at a price as consistency has been an issue for the Spurs all season. The Golden State Warriors are looking to bounce back from a 125-122 loss as an 8.5-point favorite against the Chicago Bulls.

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK We saw 235 points with a closing total of 238 when these two teams clashed back in November. The Sacramento Kings average a healthy 118.0 ppg on the season (8th), but that number drops when they're on the road and I think this will be another relatively low-scoring affair. Under is 14-3 in Lakers last 17 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 43-21-1 in Lakers last 65 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5.

The Oklahoma City Thunder last played on Thursday when they saw their six-game winning streak come to a halt with a 132-118 loss in San Antonio. I expect the well-rested Thunder to run away with this game. Thunder are 14-4 ATS in their last 18 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

I like the Clippers to win this game as the Wolves' top scorer Anthony Edwards is expected to miss the game (personal).

Nuggets' Jamal Murray is listed as questionable with a sprained right ankle. Lakers' Lebron James is also listed as questionable (ankle) while Anthony Davis is listed as probable (Achilles), and these are just the more notable names as both teams have more players banged up. Under is 16-5 in Lakers last 21 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 14-4 in Nuggets last 18 overall.

MIKE'S 4* NBA TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to back the Indiana Pacers to bounce back from a 130-122 loss to Toronto on Monday while at the same time fading the New Orleans Pelicans who will be playing on no rest off a win in New York. 4* PLAY ON THE PACERS. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB BIG EAST TOTAL OF THE YEAR The Marquette Golden Eagles have put up 105 and 88 points as double-digit home favorites in their last two games. They're a double-digit favorite once again when hosting the Providence Friars Wednesday night.

MIKE'S 4* SPURS/WOLVES NBA TOTAL TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Minnesota Timberwolves are coming off a 101-86 win over the Brooklyn Nets. They've held four of their last 10 opponents to fewer than 100 points and they are owners of the best scoring-defense in the NBA with only 106.4 points allowed per game. Under is 7-2 in Timberwolves last 9 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. Under is 6-2-1 in Spurs last 9 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater.

02-27-24 | Pelicans -2.5 v. Knicks | 115-92 | Win | 100 | 13 h 21 m | Show | |
MIKE'S PELS/KNICKS NBA BOOKIE BU$TER The New York Knicks were the hottest team in the NBA for a while, but their heater came to an end when O.G. Anunoby went down with an injury. They're only 4-6 SU and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games, and here they'll face a New Orleans Pelicans team that had won four on the bounce before back-to-back losses against the Miami Heat and the Chicago Bulls. Pelicans are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up loss. Knicks are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 home games. Knicks are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. 3* PLAY ON THE PELICANS. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK This looks like a great spot to back the Golden State Warriors to bounce back from a disappointing 119-103 loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Washington Wizards are one of the worst teams in the league and 5-17 ATS in their last 22 games as a home underdog of 5.0-10.5 while the Warriors are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games as a road favorite of 11.0 or greater and perfect 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS loss. 5* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS. |

MIKE'S HEAT/KINGS TOTAL The Sacramento Kings are coming off a 123-107 win over the Clippers in LA last night. They are 2-6 SU and ATS when playing on 0 days rest and 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5.Don't sleep on the Miami Heat who are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record and a team I expect to make a push in the second half of the season. In addition to Miami to cover the spread, I also like the under. Under is 20-7 in Heat last 27 road games. Under is 7-1 in Heat last 8 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Under is 7-3 in Kings last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. 3* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

MIKE'S 4* CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY This looks like a good spot to fade the Florida A&M Rattlers following their upset win over the Alabama State Hornets. Rattlers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a straight up win while the Alabama A&M Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. 4* PLAY ON ALABAMA A&M. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE WEEK The Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers have some of the worst scoring averages in the NBA, but I think we'll see a fair amount of points here in what should be a free-flowing game between two teams with little to play for. Over is 8-3 in Trail Blazers last 11 games as a home favorite. Over is 14-5 in Trail Blazers last 19 games as a home favorite of 0.5-4.5. 5* PLAY ON THE OVER. |

02-25-24 | Nuggets v. Warriors +100 | 119-103 | Loss | -100 | 17 h 16 m | Show | |
MIKE'S NUGGETS/WARRIORS SIDE I like the Golden State Warriors to win outright in a relatively low-scoring game when they host the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. The Warriors are playing their best basketball of the season (8-2 SU and ATS L10), but still need to make up ground to make the playoffs. This is also a revenge game for the Warriors after losing 130-127 when they hosted Denver on Jan 4, and things are clicking a lot better for the Warriors this time around. Warriors are 39-19-1 ATS in their last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Nuggets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Under is 7-2 in Warriors last 9 overall. Under is 7-2 in Nuggets last 9 road games. 3* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS. |

MIKE'S 4* PURDUE/MICHIGAN CBB TOP PLAY OF THE DAY The Michigan Wolverines are only 5-8 SU at home on the season and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Wolverines are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and I think they'll lose big here against the 24-3 Purdue Boilermakers who are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 4* PLAY ON PURDUE. |

02-25-24 | Bucks -5 v. 76ers | 119-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
MIKE'S EARLY BUCKS/SIXERS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER I like the Milwaukee Bucks as a road favorite in this matinee matchup in Philadelphia Sunday afternoon. The Milwaukee Bucks have not played great of late, but I think they'll be looking to make a statement, and with Joel Embiid sidelined, I don't see how the Sixers can keep up with the Bucks. 3* PLAY ON THE BUCKS. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA GAME OF THE WEEK The Minnesota Timberwolves will play on short rest following a 112-107 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks last night, but I still expect them to get the job done against a Brooklyn Nets team led by an interim coach. Timberwolves are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. Timberwolves are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 0 days rest. Nets are 3-13 ATS in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 5* PLAY ON THE WOLVES. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* SEC GAME OF THE MONTH This looks like a great spot to back the Kentucky Wildcats to bounce back from a disappointing loss as a road favorite at LSU. The Alabama Crimson Tide have been playing at a very high level but I don't trust them as underdogs. Wildcats are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games following an ATS loss. Crimson Tide are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games as a road underdog. Crimson Tide are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games. 5* PLAY ON KENTUCKY. |

The Timberwolves are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record while the Milwaukee Bucks are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Additionally, the Bucks are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 road games and 16-41 ATS in their last 57 games as an underdog. 3* PLAY ON THE WOLVES. |

MIKE'S WIZARDS/THUNDER NBA BOOKIE BLA$TER Both teams will play on short rest, but I like the underdog to cover the spread in this matchup. Sure, the Washington Wizards are only 9-46 SU on the season, but they are 9-1-1 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog of 11.0 or greater and the Oklahoma City Thunder are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. 3* PLAY ON THE WIZARDS. |

MAX BET ALERT - 5* NBA TOTAL OF THE MONTH The Los Angeles Clippers will play on no rest following a 129-107 loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City last night, but I think they'll have a lot more success defending the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies. Under is 20-8-1 in Grizzlies last 29 home games. Under is 6-2 in Grizzlies last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 7-1 in Clippers last 8 games as a road favorite of 5.0-10.5. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |

MIKE'S LATE NIGHT LAKERS/WARRIORS NBA BOOKIE BREAKER The break came at a bad time for both the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers as they were hot streaks with six wins in seven games. The Warriors are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite, and while both teams need a strong second half of the season if they want to make the playoffs, I like the Warriors to get the win and cover here in the first game back from the All-Star break. 3* PLAY ON THE WARRIORS. |

Additionally, I'm not even sure whether they should be favorites here in this matchup against the more talented Phoenix Suns, so I'll gladly take the points on the visitors. 4* PLAY ON THE PHOENIX SUNS. |

02-21-24 | Kentucky v. LSU UNDER 164.5 | Top | 74-75 | Win | 100 | 15 h 42 m | Show |
MAX BET ALERT - 5* CBB TOTAL OF THE MONTH I like the under when the LSU Tigers host the No. 17 Kentucky Wildcats Wednesday night. Kentucky is 18-7 to the over for the season, but the team has played lockdown D lately and coming off back-to-back unders after holding Ole Miss to 63 points and Auburn to 59 points. The Wildcats are one of the highest-scoring teams in the nation with their 88.2 points per game average, but this total looks too high to me. 5* PLAY ON THE UNDER. |
