20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets +7½ +102

The Nuggets (+7.5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Lakers. Denver ended up getting blown out in Game 1, but there were some positives. They didn't have Jokic for almost the entire 2nd quarter and only trailed by 11 at the half. They weren't getting the benefit of the call and were really sloppy with the ball (16 turnovers). As bad as they played they still shot 49% from the field and only made 9 3-pointers. I don't if they win, but I think they keep it close. Play the Nuggets +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -6½ -108

The Lakers (-6.5) are worth a look in Game 1 against the Nuggets. I know LA has not been great in Game 1's so far, losing the series opener against both the Blazers and Rockets. With that said, this is now the Western Conference Finals and with the Clippers and Bucks out of the way, the stage is set for the Lakers to win it all. I expect they show up looking to make a statement. As for the Nuggets, they could be in store for a letdown after just playing a Game 7 vs the Clippers. Play the Lakers -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Heat vs Celtics over 209½ -110

The OVER (209.5) is worth a look in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Both teams should have fresh legs in this one, which I think will not only lead to a faster pace, but also better shooting from behind the 3-point line. Both teams could also be lacking the defensive intensity in this one. Miami hasn't played in a week and Boston just played a grueling 7 game series against the Raptors. Play the OVER 209.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +2½ -105

The Raptors (+2.5) are worth a look as small dog in Game 7 against the Celtics. I just trust Toronto a lot more in this spot. Boston looked liked the better team early, but have really given this series away. Raptors really shot well from deep in Game 6 (40.4%). If they shoot close to that in this one, they win this one working. 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -5 -105

The Lakers (-5) are worth a look in Game 4 against the Rockets. This feels like a repeat of the first round for LA. Lakers dropped Game 1 against the Blazers and then rolled of 4 straight. They lost Game 1 to Houston and have responded by winning the last two. LA shot just 42% in Game 1 against the Rockets. They hit 57% in Game 2 and 55% in Game 3. They have the Rockets defense figured out and are so good at defending the 3-ball. Houston also really misses House. Play the Lakers -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors +3 -100

The Raptors (+3) are worth a look as a dog in Game 6 against Boston. After the way the Celtics dominated Game 5 to take a 3-2 series lead, the betting public can't get enough of Boston in Game 6. I just don't think it's going to be that easy. This Raptors team has a lot of fight in them and I think they find a way to send this to a Game 7. Play Toronto +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks +3½ -105

The Bucks (+3.5) are worth a look as a small dog in Game 5 against the Heat. Milwaukee was able to avoid the sweep with a win in Game 4 and did so without their best player for the majority of the game. With or without Antetokounmpo in Game 5, I like them to win this game outright. Play the Bucks +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -7½ -110

The Clippers (-7.5) are worth a look in Game 3 against the Nuggets. LA had their way in a 120-97 win in Game 1. It certainly looked like the Clippers took their foot off the gas to start out Game 2. They stepped it up a notch in the 2nd half. They nearly pulled out a win, but had simply dug themselves too big a hole. Nuggets only had 38 points in the 2nd half! LA won't be messing around with the series now tied 1-1. Play the Clippers -7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks vs Heat under 220 -110

The UNDER (220) is worth a look in Game 4 between the Heat and Bucks. It's well known that no team has come back from a 3-0 deficit. While the series may be over, I don't see Milwaukee going down without a fight. Bucks have the talent to pull this feat off. Miami on the other hand could have a hard time locking and maybe just aren't quite as sharp on the offensive end as they have been in the first 3. Play the UNDER 220! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets +9 -104

The Nuggets (+9) are worth a look here in Game 2 against the Clippers. Denver just didn't have anything left in the tank for Game 1 of this series, as they were just two days away from a grueling 7-game series against the Jazz. One in which they won after trailing 3-1 in the series. I expect to see a much effort and performance out of the Nuggets in Game 2. Play Denver +9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +7 -115

The Rockets (+7) are worth a look here in Game 1 against the Lakers. I think there's some that will be looking to fade Houston fresh off a Game 7 against OKC, but I see too much value to pass up. Rockets really matchup well with Los Angeles. They should have a huge advantage at the 3-point line in this series. I don't know if they win the game, but I expect this to come right down to the wire. Play the Rockets +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -4½ -110

The Bucks (-4.5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Heat. Miami surprised a lot of people with their 115-104 win in Game 1. I like this Heat team a lot, but the Bucks are a great team. I'm confident Milwaukee responds in a big way to even up the series at 1-1. Keep in mind that they started out great in Game 1, as they led 40-29 at the end of the 1st quarter. They also shot just 53.8% from the free throw line and had 19 turnovers. Play the Bucks -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +1½ -103

The Celtics (+1.5) are worth a look here as a dog in Game 2 against the Raptors. Boston completely dominated Toronto in a 112-94 Game 1 win. The Celtics defense made life absolutely miserable for the Raptors. Toronto shot just 37% from the field. Boston has owned the Raptors all season and I just don't see this one going a whole lot different than the first. Play the Celtics +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rockets -5½ -105

The Rockets (-5.5) are worth a shot in Game 6 against OKC. I just feel that Houston has proven they are the better team and now that they got Westbrook back this thing is over. Thunder will put up a fight early, but they simply don't have the scoring to keep pace. Another offensive night like they had in Game 5 and we will be cashing this thing by halftime. Play the Rockets -5.5!

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Rockets over 226 -110

The OVER (226) is worth a look in Saturday's Game 5 matchup between the Rockets and Thunder. Not only will Houston's Russell Westbrook be making his series debut, but these teams ended up having 4 days off since Game 4. Fresh legs should lead to some better shooting, especially from the Rockets with all those 3-pointers they take. OKC has also seemed to figure out this Houston defense. This should easily get to 230. Play the OVER 226! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 220½ -110

The UNDER (220.5) is worth a look in Game 5 between the Nuggets and Jazz. Utah is due for some regression here, as they have now shot 50% or better from the field in 3 straight games. I get the Nuggets defense is a big part of the problem, but Utah is not as good a 3-point shooting team as we have seen in this series. If the shots don't fall for these two, the pace really isn't there for this to get over the mark. Play the UNDER 220.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +7 +102

The Pacers (+7) are worth a look in Game 4 against the Heat. Miami has a commanding 3-0 series lead and I think a lot of people will just assume the Pacers will lay down given the circumstances. I just don't see that happening. Miami has been the better team, but Indiana is a few breaks away from flipping this series around. If anything I think the Heat could be the ones that don't show up with the right mindset for this one. Play the Pacers +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +13 -110

The Nets (+13) are definitely worth a look in Sunday's Game 4 showdown with the Raptors. Toronto has a commanding 3-0 series lead and could find it hard to bring their "A" game to this one. Brooklyn never really had a shot from the start of the bubble, but this team has really played hard. Toronto wins, but by less than double-digits. Play the Nets +13! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Blazers over 225 +101

The OVER (225) is worth a look in Game 3 on Saturday between the Lakers and Blazers. These two haven't sniffed the total in the first two games. They haven't even got to 200 combined points. All that changes in Game 3. Portland is too good a shooting team to shoot as poorly as they have in this series. As good as the Lakers are defensively, Blazers are going to shoot better than 40%. Something they haven't done yet. Lakers offense was much better in Game 2 and should continue to score against this poor Blazers defense. Play the OVER 225! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -4½ -110

The Celtics (-4.5) are worth a look in Game 3 against the 76ers. I know this is a do-or-die situation for Philadelphia down 0-2, I just don't think it matters. Boston is hands down the better team. Jason Tatum is evolving into an elite player and without Ben Simmons the 76ers really have no shot. Play Boston -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +5 -110

The Pacers (+5) are worth a look in Game 2 against the Heat. Miami took Game 1 by a final of 113-101 and there's a chance Oladipo doesn't play in Game 2. I liked what I saw from Indiana after Oladipo went down. They are clearly going to be the more motivated team in Game 2. Heat are just 13-22 ATS off a game where they covered and a mere 17-36 ATS last 53 aoff a win by 10 or more. Play the Pacers +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nuggets under 218½ -110

The UNDER (218.5) is worth a look in Game 2 between the Nuggets and Jazz. These two went off for 260 points in Game 1 (30 points in OT), but I see that as an outlier. Both teams couldn't miss. Utah shot 47% from the field and Denver hit 52%. Jazz made 16 3-pointers and Nuggets connected on 22. You also had two guys go off with Mitchell scoring 57 and Murray putting in 36. Play the UNDER 218.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +5½ +102

The Blazers (+5.5) are worth a look as they open their playoff series against No. 1 seeded Lakers. Portland did what a lot of people expected (which is not easy) and fought their way into the playoffs during the 8-game restart. I know the Lakers haven't had a ton to play for of late and it can be hard to just flip the switch. Portland has been in playoff mode since the bubble started. Play the Blazers +5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +4 -102

The Pacers (+4) are worth a look in Tuesday's NBA Playoff opener against the Heat. I've really been impressed with what Indiana has brought to the table in the bubble. I can't explain how, but T.J. Warren has transformed into a star. As much as I like this Heat team, I think this line should be closer to a pick'em, so there's clear value on Indiana. Play the Pacers +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -9½ +102

Toronto (-9.5) is worth a look in their playoff series opener against the Nets. Brooklyn played better than anyone expected in the bubble. They went 5-3 SU and 6-2 ATS (covered 6 of last 7). I just think a lot of that was teams not giving Brooklyn the respect they deserved. Toronto isn't going to make that mistake. This team is 100% locked in to get back to the NBA Finals. They dominate this one. Play the Raptors -9.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +6 -110

The Grizzlies (+6) are worth a look. Most aren't giving Memphis any shot at getting past the Blazers to face the Lakers in the first round. I believe it's created some value with the Grizzlies here. Keep in mind this is do or die only for Memphis. If they lose they are done. If Portland loses they play again tomorrow. With the way the Blazers are playing defense, this is a really big number to ask them to cover in this spot. Play Memphis +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +9 -110

The Nets (+9) are worth a look here as a big dog against the Blazers. Everyone is going to be wanting to play Portland because of what's at stake. I believe it's created some big time value with Brooklyn. Nets will have enough talent on the floor to be competitive. You also have to keep in mind the lack of defense Portland plays. They have given up 115 or more in all but one game. Brooklyn also a quiet 5-1 SU and 5-1 ATS over their last 6 games. Play the Nets +9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Raptors -6½ -110

The Raptors (-6.5) are worth a look as a middle of the pack favorite against the 76ers. Philadelphia is a bit of mess. They didn't look good early on in the bubble and have since suffered the massive loss of Ben Simmons. Embiid, Harris and Horford are all questionable for this game, which really means nothing for either side. Thing is the Raptors haven't showed signs of calling off laying down. I think Toronto makes easy work of Philadelphia in this one. Play the Raptors -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -5 +101

I'll take my chances with the Celtics (-5) cashing in a win and cover against the Grizzlies. I think we are getting a good price on Boston, as the perception out there is that they have nothing to play for with the No. 3 seed locked up. That's really nothing new and they have kept playing hard. They are also a deep team. Memphis just hasn't been great in the bubble and are not the same team without Jaren Jackson Jr. Play the Celtics -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -2 -110

I'll take my chances here with the Mavs (-2) against the Jazz. There's a good chance both teams don't play some key guys. Utah is just 2-4 ATS in the bubble and I'm not sure they want to win. Jazz are No. 6 in the standings and would play No. 3 Denver in the first round. I would rather face the Nuggets than move up and play either the Rockets or the Thunder. Play Dallas -2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Suns over 225 -110

I'll take my chances with the OVER (225) in Monday's early NBA action between the Suns/Thunder. I know the Thunder will be out some of their top guys, but they got enough depth to still be competitive on offense. They were without Adams in their last game and scored 121 with 18 made 3-pointers. Suns have been the talk of the bubble with their 5-0 start. They are winning games with their offense not defense. I see this getting into the 230s. Play the OVER 225! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards vs Thunder under 225 -102

The UNDER (225) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA action between the Wizards and Thunder. Washington just doesn't have the fire-power offensively for a total of this magnitude. They come into this game having shot 43.6% or worse from the field in each of their last 3 games. They are scoring just 105.4 ppg in the bubble. Thing is, OKC hasn't been much better offensively, as they have shot 43%, 43%, and 35% in their last 3 games. Play the UNDER 225! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Blazers over 233½ -110

I'll take my chances with the OVER (233.5) on the total in Saturday's NBA action between the Blazers and Clippers. I just don't think the number here is high enough with the offensive fire-power that these two teams bring to the table. Clippers are averaging 117.0 ppg in the bubble and the Blazers are way up there at 124.8 ppg. LA has allowed 110+ in each of their last two and Portland is giving up almost as much as they are scoring in the bubble at 120.0 ppg. Play the OVER 233.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +4½ -105

I'll take my chances here with Portland (+4.5) to cover the spread in Saturday's NBA action against the Clippers. The Blazers have definitely been one of the more impressive teams in the bubble to this point. Portland is much better team now that they got two legit bigs in Collins and Nurkic to go along with their dynamic backcourt of Lillard and McCollum. Lillard is coming off a 45-point game against the Nuggets where he made 11 3-pointers. Clippers are just 1.5-games in front of Denver for the No. 2 seed, but there's really not a whole lot of difference in being the No. 2 or the No. 3 with no homecourt. I just feel like the Blazers are playing better and have a lot more incentive here to play well. Play Portland +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Celtics +3 +101

I'll take my chances with Boston (+3) as they get ready for a huge Eastern Conference showdown with the Raptors. There's a real good chance these two teams meet up in the second round of the playoffs, so I expect to see some nice intensity here. With that said, Boston does have a lot more to play for. Toronto is sitting pretty safe at the No. 2 seed. While the Celtics are No. 3, they are just 2.5 games up on Miami at No. 4. They do not want to fall back to No. 4. I also think they might be the better team. I at worst would have this at a pick'em. Play the Celtics +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns +3½ -109

The Suns +3.5 is worth a look in Thursday's NBA action. No one really thought much of this Suns team coming into the bubble, but they have been really impressive over their first 3 games. Phoenix has gone both 3-0 SU and 3-0 ATS. The last two being outright wins as a 5-point dog to the Mavs and as a 9.5-point dog to the Clippers. Pacers are also 3-0 SU and ATS, but they haven't really played anyone. Their best win is against a 76ers team that has looked awful in the bubble. The other two were against the Wizards and Magic. Play the Suns +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -4 -106

The Jazz -4 is worth a look in tonight's NBA action. Utah will be squaring off against the Grizzlies. Memphis has been a major disappointment in the bubble. Grizzlies are 0-3 SU and 0-3 ATS. All 3 of those games coming against teams on the outside looking in the Western Conference. They now have just a 1.5-game lead over the Blazers for the No. 8 seed. I look for Utah to win this game rather easily. Play the Jazz -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +5 -110

The Blazers are worth a look at +5 against the Rockets in Tuesday's MLB action. While the Blazers come in off a loss at Boston, I couldn't have been more impressed with how this team rallied from being 20+ points down to take the lead. If Portland would have had this same roster to start the year they wouldn't even be sweating to make the playoffs right now. Houston is hit or miss and I believe a bit overvalued coming off a win against the Bucks to go to 2-0 in the restart. Play the Blazers +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +3½ -105

I'll take the 3.5-points with Memphis in this one. I actually would have the Grizzlies favored. I just think the Pelicans are overvalued as long as Zion Williamson is on a minutes restriction. They blew a big lead in their first game back against the Jazz and then lost by 23 to the Clippers two days later. I get Memphis has also started out 0-2 in the bubble, but one was an OT loss to the Blazers and the other a 2-point setback to the Spurs. Play Memphis +3.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -3½ -105

I got no problem laying the 3.5-points with Milwaukee against the Rockets. Bucks might not have a ton to play for in terms of the standings, as they all but have the No. 1 seed in the East locked up. However, they are still trying to get back to form after the long layoff and I just think they will be too much for the inconsistent Rockets. Houston won their first in the bubble restart, but that was more of a result of the Mavs collapsing down the stretch. I just don't think Houston's small-ball is going to work against this loaded Bucks team. Play Milwaukee -3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs +3 -105

The Spurs are definitely worth a look as a small dog against the Grizzlies in Sunday's NBA action. San Antonio not only covered, but won outright 129-120 as a similarly priced 3.5-point dog against the Kings on Friday. Memphis on the other hand lost 135-140 in OT against the Blazers. I think we could see the Grizzlies have a tough time showing up with the energy needed to win this game. I really like the Spurs to win outright, but I'll gladly take the points for some added insurance. Play San Antonio +3! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Lakers -4 -102

I think the perception here is that the Lakers are going to have a letdown against Toronto after playing that big game against rival Clippers on Thursday. I just don't think that's as big a factor given the circumstances here with the bubble. There's clearly no travel for games and a day off, should be more than enough to have LA ready to roll in this one. As for the Raptors, I think we could see them take a bit to get going in their first game. Play the Lakers -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Thunder under 212 -110

I'm expecting a very low-scoring game here between the Jazz and Thunder. These are two of the better defensive teams in the league and while we have yet to see OKC in the new bubble, Utah just played a game on Thursday against a fast-paced and high-powered Pelicans offense that ended up with a total of just 210. This is also a big game for both teams as Utah is 4th in the west, just 2 games back of the Clippers for the No. 2 seed. They are also just 1.5-games ahead of OKC, who is currently the No. 6 seed. Play the UNDER 212! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +2 -101

There's a ton of hype on Portland coming into the NBA restart and I think it's going to have a lot of people jumping on the Blazers as a small favorite here. I'm just not one of them. Portland should have a solid starting 5, but they don't have great depth. I also think it could take a bit for the likes of Nurkic and Collins to get back in form. I like Morant and the Grizzlies to win this game and really put a tight hold on that 8th and final spot in the Western Conference. Play the Grizzlies +2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets +7 -108

This is just too good a price to pass up on the Nets at +7 against the Magic. Brooklyn does have a number of guys sitting out either due to injury or because of covid, but that doesn't mean they are going to just lie down. I feel they got more than enough talent to not only cover this number but win the game outright. Play the Nets +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Pelicans over 221 -106

Easy play here on the OVER 221 in Thursday's NBA matchup between the Pelicans and Jazz. All signs point to New Orleans having Zion for this one and even if he doesn't play, there's still a great shot this goes over. Pelicans rank 2nd in the NBA in pace of play, while sitting in the bottom half of the league in defensive efficiency. Utah is 6th in the NBA in offensive efficiency. I see this one easily approaching 225 and likely into the 230's. Play the OVER 221! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings +3½ -101

20* KNICKS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks -4½ -105

My money is on the Hawks to cash in a win and cover as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Knicks in Wednesday's NBA action. Easy play here on Atlanta at home against a bad Knicks team that is in an awful scheduling spot. New York will be on no rest after a game last night in Washington. Knicks have really struggled to play well on no rest (0-4-1 ATS last 5) and tonight will be no different. BET THE HAWKS -4.5! 

15* FAU/OLD DOMINION CBB SHARP WINNER on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion under 132 -105

My money is on the UNDER 132 in Wednesday's matchup between FAU and Old Dominion in the first round of the C-USA Tournament. UNDER is 8-2 in the Owls last 10 with a line of +3 to -3 and 9-2 in their last 11 off a loss by 10 or more. UNDER is 9-1 last 10 for the Monarchs in neutral site games, including 6-0 in their last 6 as a neutral court favorite. BET THE UNDER! 

20* IDAHO ST/N ARIZONA CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Idaho State vs Northern Arizona under 144 -110

My money is on the UNDER 144 in Wednesday's first round action out of the Big Sky Tournament that has Idaho State taking on Northern Arizona. Easy play on the UNDER in this one. UNDER is a perfect 11-0 in the Bengals last 11 road games if they have played their last 3 games on the road. UNDER is also 25-6 in Northern Arizona's last 31 on a neutral court. BET THE UNDER 144! 

15* WOLVES/ROCKETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Wolves vs Rockets over 244 -110

My money is on the OVER 244 in Tuesday's NBA action between the Wolves and Rockets. Easy play here on the OVER with Minnesota. Timberwolves are offering little to no resistance on the defensive side of the ball and are scoring at a high clip. Timberwolves are scoring 114 ppg in their last 5 and giving up 121 ppg. Rockets are scoring 119.1 ppg at home and giving up 118 ppg in their last 5. BET THE OVER 244! 

20* MAGIC/GRIZZLIES NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Magic vs Grizzlies under 224 -110

My money is on the UNDER 224 in Tuesday's NBA matchup between the Grizzlies and Magic. Memphis has really picked up the defensive intensity as they push for a playoff spot. Grizzlies are giving up just 95.4 ppg. Orlando has been one of the slower paced teams this season, but have had a lot of high-scoring games of late, but that's more of who they have played and we are getting a ton of value because of it. BET THE UNDER 224! 

15* KNICKS/WIZARDS NBA SHARP WINNER on Wizards -4 -110

My money is on the Wizards to cash in a win and cover as a slim 4-point home favorite against the Knicks. Knicks are getting a little too much respect here on the road. NY has won and covered 4 of their last 5, but all 5 of those game at home. Knicks are 8-20 ATS last 28 on the road after playing 2 or more straight games at home. Give me the Wizards -4! 

20* N CAROLINA/VA TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on North Carolina -2½ -105

My money is on the Tar Heels to cash in a win and cover as a slim 2.5-point favorite against the Hokies. This is just too good a price to pass up on UNC. While the Tar Heels are off a loss to rival Duke, they had won their previous 3 games and have to feel after two close calls with the Blue Devils that they can win this thing and that's the only way they are getting into the big dance. Hokies started out the season strong, but really struggled down the stretch. BET THE TAR HEELS -2.5! 

20* HORNETS/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hornets +6 -110

My money is on Charlotte to cash in a cover as a 6-point road dog against the Hawks in Monday's NBA action. Hornets have quietly been a covering machine here of late. Charlotte is a respectable 6-5 SU over their last 11 games, but are an outstanding 9-2 ATS during this stretch and come in having covered 6 straight. BET THE HORNETS +6! 

20* C MICHIGAN/OHIO CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Ohio -5½ -105

My money is on the Bobcats to cash in a win and cover as a 5.5-point home favorite in Monday's 1st round action out of the MAC Tournament. Easy play here on Ohio. Central Michigan won their regular-season finale against fellow bottom feeder Western Michigan, but had lost 9 straight prior to that victory. Bobcats opened up just 2-7 in MAC play, but closed out the year 6-3 over their final 9 conference games. BET OHIO -5.5! 

20* HEAT/WIZARDS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Heat -4½ -110

My money is on the Heat to cash in a win and cover as a 4.5-point road favorite at Washington. Miami had won 4 straight before a close loss at New Orleans against a desperate Pelicans team on Friday. Wizards are off a big home win against the Hawks, but that's nothing to be excited about. What stands out to me is the fact that Washington allowed 50% or better from the field for a 3rd straight game. BET THE HEAT -4.5! 

15* PELICANS/WOLVES NBA SHARP WINNER on Pelicans -5½ -110

My money is on the Pelicans to cash in an easy win and cover as a 5.5-point road dog at Minnesota. New Orleans snapped their 3 game skid with a big win and cover at home against the Heat and now they will be out for revenge from a shocking loss as a double-digit home favorite to the Wolves last week. BET THE PELICANS -5.5! 

15* BULLS/NETS NBA SHARP WINNER on Nets -7½ -110

My money is on Brooklyn to cash in an easy win and cover at home against the Nets. The decision to fire head coach Kenny Atkinson was a bit of a surprise, but I don't see it keeping Brooklyn from having any problem disposing of the Bulls at home. Chicago's the team that needs to fire their head coach as Jim Boylen has shown next to nothing that makes you think he's the right guy. BET THE NETS -7.5! 

20* PEPPERDINE/ST. MARY'S CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pepperdine +7 -108

My money is on the Waves to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against St. Mary's in Saturday's third round action out of the WCC Tournament. Pepperdine knocked off Santa Clara 84-73 as a 2.5-point favorite last night, improving to 10-2 ATS over the last 3 seasons on a neutral court. Waves are also 7-1 ATS this season on the road against a team with a winning record. BET PEPPERDINE +7!

15* KINGS/BLAZERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Kings +4½ -110

My money is on the Kings to cash in a cover as a 4.5-point road dog against the Blazers. Portland is coming off a double-digit loss at Phoenix last night and Carmelo got hurt in the defeat. Kings playing on rest and have been great since the break, going 6-2 SU and 6-2 ATS. BET SACRAMENTO +4.5! 

20* 76ERS/WARRIORS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Warriors +2½ -110

My money is on the Warriors to cash in an easy win and cover here as a 2.5-point home dog against the 76ers in Saturday's NBA action. Golden State just got back Steph Curry in their last game. While they lost at home to the Raptors, they did cover and Curry played well. 76ers without their two best players and not a great road team. BET THE WARRIORS +2.5! 

20* KANSAS/TEXAS TECH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Kansas vs Texas Tech over 132½ -110

My money is on the OVER 132.5 in Saturday's college hoops action that has the Red Raiders hosting the Jayhawks. Texas Tech is a team people think about as a great defensive team, but this year they have been really good offensively. These are the top two teams in the Big 12 in offensive efficiency. BET THE OVER 132.5! 

15* MAGIC/WOLVES NBA SHARP WINNER on Wolves +2½ -115

My money is on the Wolves to cash in a cover as a 2.5-point home dog against the Magic in Friday's NBA action. Minnesota has won and covered two straight and I think are showing value here at home in a big revenge spot against the Magic, who beat them in Orlando by 11 a week ago. BET THE WOLVES +2.5! 

15* HEAT/PELICANS NBA SHARP WINNER on Pelicans -1½ -105

My money is on the Pelicans to cash in a win and cover as a 1.5-point home favorite against the Heat. New Orleans has lost 3 straight and I think that's playing into the great price we are getting here. Miami has won 4 straight, but all 4 were at home and this team is just not the same on the road. BET THE PELICANS -1.5! 

20* THUNDER/KNICKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Thunder -7 -110

My money is on the Thunder to cash in a win and cover as a 7-point road favorite. I just think the Knicks are getting a little too much love here. NY has covered 2 of their last 3, but were a bit lucky to cover as a 9-point dog in a 8-point loss to Utah. OKC also a bit undervalued having failed to cover 5 straight. BET THE THUNDER -7! 

20* YALE/DARTMOUTH CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Dartmouth +7 -108

My money is on Dartmouth to cash in a cover as a 7-point dog against Yale in Friday's college hoops action. The Big Green are rolling right now. Dartmouth has won 5 of their last 6 games and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5. Yale has won 4 straight, but are constantly overpriced, going 1-4 ATS last 5 games. BET THE BIG GREEN +7! 

20* 76ERS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on 76ers +5 -110

My money is on the 76ers to cash in a cover here as a 5-point road dog against the Kings in Thursday's NBA action. Philadelphia is getting no love here with both Simmons and Embiid out with injury and them off back-to-back losses. Thing is those two losses came against two of the best teams in the league in the Clippers and Lakers. Kings have been playing better of late, but this is too many for them to be laying. BET THE 76ERS +5! 

20* CAL POLY/LONG BEACH ST CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Cal Poly +5½ -108

My money is on the Mustangs to cash in a cover as a 5.5-point road dog at Long Beach State in Thursday's college hoops action. This might seem like a favorable price for Long Beach against a Cal Poly team that is 7-21 on the season. Thing is Long Beach is 1-6 ATS last 7 vs a team with a losing record and 0-5 ATS last 5 vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their games. BET THE MUSTANGS +5.5! 

15* WASHINGTON/ARIZONA ST CBB SHARP WINNER on Washington +6 -108

My money is on the Huskies to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog against Arizona State in Thursday's college hoops action. It's been a rough for Washington here of late, but this is the biggest dog we have seen them priced at since they were a 5.5-point dog against Baylor in the first game of the season. ASU has lost their last two and while they figure to win, I like the Huskies to keep it close. BET WASHINGTON +6! 

15* BOISE ST/UNLV CBB SHARP WINNER on Boise State +3 -108

My money is on the Broncos to cash in a win and cover here as a slim 3-point dog against UNLV in Thursday's 1st round action out of the Mountain West Tournament. The Rebels have won and covered 5 straight, which includes a 10-point win over Boise State at home. This line makes no sense, which is why I'm siding with the Broncos. Note that UNLV only won by 10 at home and they shot 51% from the field, while Boise shot 31%. BET THE BRONCOS +3! 

20* GRIZZLIES/NETS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Grizzlies +3 -110'

My money is on the Grizzlies to cash in a win and cover as a 3-point road dog against the Nets. Memphis has won two straight after dropping 5 in a row and I look for them to stay hot here. Really tough spot for Brooklyn off an incredible OT win at Boston last night to finish up a 4-game road trip. BET THE GRIZZLIES +3! 

15* PACERS/BUCKS NBA (ATS) SHARP WINNER on Pacers +11 -105

My money is on the Pacers to cash in a cover as a big 11-point road dog at Milwaukee in Wednesday's NBA action. Indiana is coming into this one on a 4-game winning streak and appear to be catching the Bucks at the right time. Milwaukee just lost 89-105 at Miami and that's after scoring just 93 at Charlotte the day before. While home, this will be their 3rd game in 4 days. BET THE PACERS +11!

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Bucks under 222 -102

My money is on the UNDER 222 in Wednesday's NBA action that has the Pacers visiting the Bucks. Indiana has won 4 straight and are giving up 98.8 ppg during this stretch. That defense will look to keep the Bucks offense on ice, as Milwaukee followed up a 93 point effort at Charlotte with a mere 89 at Miami. BET THE UNDER 222! 

20* FORDHAM/G WASHINGTON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Fordham +6½ -108

My money is on the Rams to cash in a cover here as a 6.5-point road dog against the Colonials in Wednesday's college hoops action. Fordham has lost 10 straight, but have covered their last 2 games as dogs. George Washington has lost 3 straight and 6 of 8 overall. They are fresh off a big loss at VCU and got a huge road game at Dayton in the finale. BET FORDHAM +6.5! 

20* WIZARDS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wizards +6 -110

My money is on the Wizards to cash in a cover here as a 6-point road dog at Sacramento in Tuesday's NBA action. Washington has been a sneaky good bet of late. Wizards are 3-0-1 ATS last 4 games and 8-4-1 ATS last 13 overall. Kings have won and covered 5 of 6, but did just fail to cover as a 9.5-point home favorite against Detroit. BET THE WIZARDS +6! 

15* WOLVES/PELICANS NBA SHARP WINNER on Wolves +11½ -105

My money is on the Wolves to cash in a cover as a big 11.5-point road dog against the Pelicans. Most are going to be quick to fade Minnesota here, but I think we are getting a big enough number to take a shot. New Orleans is in a pretty big letdown here after a really tough loss at home to the Lakers on Sunday. BET MINNESOTA +11.5! 

15* DAVIDSON/RICHMOND CBB SHARP WINNER on Richmond -5 -110

My money is on the Spiders to cash in an easy win and cover as a 5-point home favorite against the Wildcats in Tuesday's college hoops action. Richmond is 12-4 in league play and come in having won 7 of their last 8. They will definitely be up for their final home game/senior night in this one. Davidson is just not a good road team and could struggle off a road game at league best Dayton. BET RICHMOND -5! 

20* WAKE FOREST/UNC CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Wake Forest vs North Carolina under 151 -110

My money is on the UNDER 151 in Tuesday's college hoops action that has the Tar Heels hosting the Demon Deacons. These two teams just recently played on Feb. 11. Wake Forest won that meeting 74-57 at home for a combined score of 131. No where close to the closing total of 149. Now the total is even more in the rematch? I just don't see these two eclipseing 150. BET THE UNDER 149! 

25* TEXAS TECH/BAYLOR BIG 12 PLAY OF THE MONTH on Texas Tech vs Baylor under 130½ -109

My money is on the UNDER 130.5 in Monday's Big 12 college hoops action that has Baylor hosting Texas Tech. These two played once already this season and it was a painfully low scoring game, which the Bears snuck out a 57-52 win on the road. I just think Baylor controlled the tempo on the road and will do the same at home. Not to mention we should get a big effort from the Bears after losing at TCU on Saturday. BET THE UNDER 130.5! 

20* GRIZZLIES/HAWKS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawks -2½ -110

My money is on the Hawks to cash in as a slim 2.5-point home favorite against the Grizzlies. Memphis comes in off an impressive 105-88 win as a 11-point home dog against the Lakers. However, I think that was all LA not showing up to play. Prior to that the Grizzlies had lost 5 straight and are still down two of their best players in Jaren Jackson and Brandon Clarke. Hawks have been playing well and are a decent bet at home. BET ATLANTA -2.5! 

15* BLAZERS/MAGIC NBA SHARP WINNER on Magic -6 -110

My money is on the Magic to cash in a win and cover as a 6-point home favorite against the Blazers in Monday's NBA action. I just think this is too good a price to pass up with Orlando with Lillard out for Portland. Blazers are now 1-6 in their last 7 and are also 1-6 ATS during this run. Magic have won 5 of 7 and are 4-0 ATS last 4 games. BET THE MAGIC -6! 

20* PISTONS/KINGS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Pistons +7½ -100

My money is on the Pistons to cash in a cover here as a 7.5-point road dog at Sacramento. Detroit just won outright as a 9-point dog at Phoenix in their last game, but no one wants anything to do with this team. Kings on the other hand are way overvalued due to having covered 5 straight. Sacramento likely wins at home, but not by more than the number. BET THE PISTONS +7.5! 

15* SOUTHERN MISS/UTEP CBB SHARP WINNER on Southern Miss vs UTEP over 128 -110

My money is on the OVER 128 in Sunday's college hoops action that has Southern Miss visiting UTEP. The Golden Eagles are coming off a game against Middle Tennessee where they scored just 53 points with a combined score of 114. Southern Miss averages 65 ppg in league play and UTEP gives up 68 ppg in league play. Golden Eagles allow 72 ppg in C-USA and the Miners just put up 68 at home against Rice. BET THE OVER 128! 

20* UC-RIVERSIDE/HAWAII CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Hawaii -4½ -108

My money is on the Rainbow Warriors to cash in a win and cover here as a 4.5-point home favorite against the Highlanders. Easy play on Hawaii in this one. They are 14-4 at home this season, while UC-Riverside is just 5-10 on the road. Highlanders are also just 4-10 ATAS last 14 vs a team with a winning straight up record. BET RAINBOW WARRIORS -4.5! 

20* NETS/HEAT NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Heat -7 -105

My money is on the Heat to cash in a win and cover as a 7-point home favorite against the Nets. Brooklyn had a good thing going, but they are in a major funk right now. Nets come in having lost 3 straight and it's hard to see them snapping out of this funk playing on no rest and in their 3rd road game in the last 4 nights. BET THE HEAT -7! 

15* BOWLING GREEN/MIAMI(OH) CBB SHARP WINNER on Miami-OH +3 -110

My money is on the RedHawks to cash in a win and cover as a small 3-point home dog against the Falcons. Miami has been rolling here of late, covering 4 of their last 5. Bowling Green has only covered 2 of their last 11 games when listed as a favorite. BET MIAMI! 

20* FLORIDA ST/CLEMSON CBB WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Clemson +3½ -110

My money is on Clemson to cash in a win and cover as a small 3.5-point home dog against the Seminoles. The Tigers are a strong home team and come in having won and covered 3 of their last 4. They often play their best against the best, as they are 17-7 ATS last 24 against a team that's outscoring opponents by 8+ points/game after 15+ games. BET CLEMSON +3.5! 

15* NUGGETS/CLIPPERS NBA SHARP WINNER on Clippers -5½ -105

My money is on the Clippers to cash in an easy win and cover as a 5.5-point home favorite against the Nuggets. Denver comes in off a couple of blowout wins, but that was against the Timberwolves and Pistons. The Nuggets are just getting to much respect here on the road against LA. This feels like the time for the Clippers to turn it on. BET LOS ANGELES -5.5! 

20* NUGGETS/CLIPPERS NBA WISEGUY TOP PLAY on Nuggets vs Clippers over 220 -110

My money is on the OVER 220 in Friday's NBA action that has the Clippers hosting the Nuggets. Denver's got their offense going. Nuggets scored 128 on 59% shooting in Sunday's win over the Twolves and then put up 115 on 58% shooting against the Pistons on Tuesday. Two days rest before this one, so look for them to stay hot. Clippers are averaging 113 ppg over their last 5 and 117 ppg at home. BET THE OVER 220!

15* WIZARDS/JAZZ NBA SHARP WINNER on Jazz -9½ -110

My money is on the Jazz to cash in an easy win and cover here as a 9.5-point home favorite against the Wizards. I just think Washington has to be a bit fatigued here playing their 5th game since returning from the All-Star break last Friday. Utah has lost 4 straight, all at home. Jazz will be extremely motivated to get this one before heading on the road for 4 straight. BET THE JAZZ -9.5!
