---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
04-25-22 | Giants v. Brewers -1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 952 BREWERS -1.5 RL, OVER GIANTS (6:10pm E, Monday, April 25) The Brewers are no slouch at home and we'll take the value, here, even as well as the Giants have been playing. Look for the Brewers to score a number of runs off Long for San Francisco. |
|||||||
04-23-22 | Rockies v. Tigers -1.5 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 982 Tigers -1.5 RL OVER ROCKIES - GM 2 (6:40pm E, Saturday, April 23) After the Tigers finish off the Rockies in game 1, we'll think they'll ride that momentum into game 2 and kickstart their season with a doubleheader blowout. They don't need much - just a kickstart to their offense and you'll see a totally different Detroit team. |
|||||||
04-23-22 | Rockies v. Tigers -1.5 | 0-13 | Win | 151 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 980 TIGERS -1.5 RL OVER ROCKIES - GM 1 (1:10pm E, Saturday, April 23) The Tigers play well at home and the Rockies on the road? Not so much. We like Skubal to keep the Colorado bats quiet, while the Detroit bats light up. The Tigers need a blow out win and we think this is the day. |
|||||||
04-22-22 | Bucks -1.5 v. Bulls | 111-81 | Win | 100 | 30 h 52 m | Show | |
The Bucks lost game 2 and possibly one of their better players but we think this team plays great team basketball and they will want to use this loss as a wake up call and steal home court advantage back in Game 3. The Bucks have covered 11 of the last 12 meetings here in Chicago and we expect that trend to hold strong tonight. |
|||||||
04-21-22 | Mavs +7 v. Jazz | Top | 126-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
We try to look at an NBA Playoff series beforehand and see how it plays out. We don’t think the Jazz have it this season and this team was really disappointing all season besides a few flashes where they looked like last year’s team. But we expect the Mavs to win this series, and they are a good team even without their star in the lineup. Doncic is questionable here, but we think they have a great chance to win without him as they did in Game 2. With the Game 2 win, Dallas has now covered in six of seven meetings. They are the much better defensive team, and that really matters in the postseason. |
|||||||
04-21-22 | White Sox -1.5 v. Guardians | 3-6 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 959 WHITE SOX -1.5,+120 OVER GUARDIANS (1:10pm E, Thursday April 21) It's payback time for the White Sox. They are too good a team to be manhandled like they were yesterday. Cleveland ran the score up on them too and that never sets well |
|||||||
04-20-22 | Nets v. Celtics -3 | Top | 107-114 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
This is a very public line in our opinion. The Nets played a very good Game 1 and still came out on the losing side and Boston had control of things for much of the game. We feel that was their best chance for an upset in Boston and they blew it. We think that close scare will have Boston playing even better this time. There’s a reason Brooklyn was in the play in this season. This team dealt with a lot of roster issues but they were also one of the most disappointing betting teams in the NBA and always overvalued by the oddsmakers. That is the case again here in Game 2 as we think Boston earns a comfortable win. |
|||||||
04-19-22 | Twins -1.5 v. Royals | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 973 TWINS -1.5 OVER ROYALS (8:10pm E, Tuesday, April 19) As proven yesterday, the Twins bats have power. Put a pitcher like Archer on the mound and they're almost unbeatable. We like the sluggers to roll over the Royals today and make a statement that they're here to stay for awhile. |
|||||||
04-18-22 | Orioles v. A's -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 120 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
10-Unit Play: Take 920 OAKLAND -1.5 RL OVER BALTIMORE (8:40pm E, Monday, April 18) Oakland is a contender this year and, as much as they keep trying, Baltimore wants to be, too. They're not there, yet, but the A's bats are and they love to run it up at home. Look for Montas to way outpitch Watkins and the A's bats to put up a big number. We're not going to play it, but we actually like the over in this game too. |
|||||||
04-17-22 | Sharks v. Wild -1.5 | Top | 4-5 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
Both teams are coming in on a back-to-back, but not all B2Bs are created equal. The Wild are at home here and that makes a big difference. Their game was also earlier on Saturday, so they have had more recovery time. Both San Jose games will be on the road, and they put up a decent fight in Dallas in a 2-1 loss. They dug deep defensively, and we don’t see them repeating the effort. This team is looking forward to the offseason while the Wild are probably pissed after a road OT loss at St. Louis, their current opening matchup in the playoffs. We think they will take out their frustrations on a San Jose team that has been very poor offensively. They have been decent defensively, but after exerting so much effort on Saturday, we see them giving up some goals here in a meaningless game for them. |
|||||||
04-17-22 | Nets v. Celtics -4 | 114-115 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 13 m | Show | |
Brooklyn has just been a mess this season. They haven’t been consistent and injuries are at fault somewhat but there also seems to be a lack of chemistry on this team. They face a Boston team that we think is a real contender, and we think Boston will want to get off to a good start in this series. They are the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA and they are rested and hungry. |
|||||||
04-16-22 | Capitals -1.5 v. Canadiens | Top | 8-4 | Win | 100 | 7 h 34 m | Show |
It seems like Montreal gave their last gasp against their bitter rival Toronto because that is the last game they were competitive in. Since that game, they have been outscored 12-3 in three straight losses, losing all on the puckline. Now they come in on a back-to-back after a 3-0 loss to an Islanders team they had owned up until yesterday. And now they face a much better team and one that has won four of five but is coming off a loss against Toronto. They will want to get back on the winning track here and this is just the game to do it. |
|||||||
04-16-22 | Wolves v. Grizzlies -6.5 | Top | 130-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 59 m | Show |
The Timberwolves are a great story this year. But we were hoping they won the play in game because we wanted to go against them in the first round, especially in this first game. This just seems like a team that is on the verge but not quite ready yet, and Memphis is a real contender this year. The Grizzlies have had extra rest and time to prepare for this matchup, and this doesn’t seem like a team that would be rusty entering the first game of the postseason. They have also owned Minnesota from a betting perspective. They have covered 24 of the last 32 meetings here in Memphis and 16 of the last 21 meetings overall. We think they will be ready for their moment in the spotlight here in Game 1. |
|||||||
04-15-22 | Hawks -2 v. Cavs | 107-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 7 m | Show | |
Cleveland was one of the big surprise teams early in the season and they got here because of phenomenal defense. But this team fell off in the latter part of the season because that defense didn’t play as consistently and they faltered too much once they rid themselves of the underdog role and turned to the favorite. The Hawks are 8-2 SU and ATS in their last 10 games. This team is playing extremely well right now and we think they win convincingly here. We think both teams step up on the defensive end. |
|||||||
04-15-22 | Islanders -1.5 v. Canadiens | 3-0 | Win | 170 | 7 h 37 m | Show | |
Montreal has been playing lately like they are already on vacation and waiting for the season to end. The Islanders are desperately in need of maximum points in their playoff hunt. They are 6-3 in their last nine and have played an incredibly difficult schedule. This team is battle tested recently and we think they will take this chance for a big win against a team that has thrown in the towel on the season. |
|||||||
04-15-22 | Phillies v. Marlins -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 170 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
5-Unit Play: Take 956 MIAMI -1.5 RL, OVER PHILLIES (6:40pm, E, Friday, April 15) The Marlins can't stand the Phillies and vice versa. With Lopez on the mound they have what it takes to beat the Phils at home. We took the run line because we don't think it'll be that close at the end and when either of these two teams can add on, they will. |
|||||||
04-14-22 | Coyotes v. Canucks -1.5 | 1-7 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
We went against Montreal last night and this is a similar situation. Arizona started to play hard towards the end part of the season and they had their little stretch where they were a great bet, but they have recently looked like they are ready for the offseason to begin. And Vancouver is playing for their playoff lives, so they want to be sure to collect full points here. |
|||||||
04-13-22 | Canadiens v. Blue Jackets -1.5 | 1-5 | Win | 150 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Montreal had their upswing in March to make a statement that they aren’t a horrible team and that they have talent. But this team has now dropped six of eight, with four of those six losses coming by multiple goals. Columbus is a much better team and their playoff hopes are on fumes so this is a must win game for them and we think they are aggressive against a weak opponent at home. |
|||||||
04-13-22 | Nationals v. Braves -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 53 m | Show | |
4-Unit Play: Take 952 ATLANTA BRAVES -1.5 RL OVER WASHINGTON (12:20pm E, Wednesday, April 13th) The Braves are as good as any team out there, as they showed last year. Fried had a terrible start (for him), in his first start - we look for him to bounce back tonight against the Nationals. He should hold them, while his supports him big offensively. |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Clippers +3.5 v. Wolves | Top | 104-109 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
The Clippers played well down the stretch. Better than the Timberwolves. And they have had Paul George back and he has stepped right in and was not too rusty. The Clippers are 15-6-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings in Minnesota, and this is a place they always play well. With George back in the mix and no clear dominant team in the West, the Clippers have a chance to go far if they can make the playoffs, especially if they can get Kawhi back at some point. We think they will play to win this one and we think they have a great chance. |
|||||||
04-12-22 | Blues v. Bruins -1.5 | 4-2 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Boston is peaking at the right time and we think this team will come out strong after a loss to Washington last time out. St. Louis has been playing well but it has come against mostly a weak schedule, and we think they will come into a buzzsaw tonight in Boston as we see the Bruins comminating here. |
|||||||
04-11-22 | Jets -1.5 v. Canadiens | 4-2 | Win | 215 | 7 h 58 m | Show | |
We think this is a letdown spot for Montreal coming off a hard-fought game against their biggest rival. This team was playing really well for awhile but then they have fallen off a bit recently. Three of their last four losses have come by multiple goals. Winnipeg is the better team and the more motivated one as their playoff hopes are on life support and they need a commanding win here. |
|||||||
04-10-22 | Spurs v. Mavs -11 | Top | 120-130 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
Dallas need a win for seeding and the Spurs have two road games coming up in the play in tourney in hopes to make the playoffs. While they would normally be up for an in-state rival, they won’t have any focus on this game at all. They don’t want to use too much energy here. We don’t see any defense from the Spurs here and key players will get limited minutes. The Mavs need to win and they will have time off during the play in tourney, so they will play hard here. Blowout. |
|||||||
04-10-22 | Bruins -1.5 v. Capitals | 2-4 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 12 m | Show | |
This is a real tough spot for Washington, on a back-to-back, in the Sunday matinee, against one of the best and hottest teams in the NHL. We think this could be a major letdown spot for the home team, and we think there is great value on the puckline here. Washington’s last three losses all came by multiple goals. When they have lost recently, they have lost badly. They are 3-7 ATS on the second end of a back-to-back this season. The Bruins have won six in a row in this series, and three of the last four wins were by multiple goals. |
|||||||
04-08-22 | Sabres +1.5 v. Panthers | 3-4 | Win | 150 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Buffalo has been a great puckline bet all season, but especially in the last month+, and we will go with them again. This seems like a team that is building something for next year and we like their fighting spirit on a nightly basis. |
|||||||
04-06-22 | Suns v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 109-113 | Win | 100 | 10 h 56 m | Show |
The Suns have had the No. 1 seed clinched for awhile. That has reflected in their play on the court as they have failed to cover in four straight and they have lost two of three outright. They come in on a back-to-back after a win over the Lakers last night. They probably had motivation there to send the Lakers packing from postseason contention. But now they head on the road for a B2B and we don’t see them really caring about this game too much. And they don’t want to risk injury. With the Clippers playing in the play-in, they can’t afford to rest here in the final games, and they need to keep momentum going, They are also actively trying to get Paul George back into the mix and to gel with the team before the play-in. So we think they will be real motivated here. They have won and covered in three of four and should have covered in Chicago but lost in OT as an underdog. |
|||||||
04-06-22 | Red Wings v. Jets -1.5 | 3-1 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Detroit is coming in on a letdown spot after their big win over the Bruins last night. Not only are they on a back to back but are playing their third game in four nights. Detroit is a notoriously bad road team and we feel they won’t give full effort here and Winnipeg is a much better team and solid at home. |
|||||||
04-05-22 | Hurricanes v. Sabres +1.5 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Buffalo is 41-29 on the puckline this season, one of the best marks in the league. Lately they have played many close games and they have been golden on the puckline, and this matchup offers value as well. Carolina has lost two of three and they are not in top form and we expect this to be a close game as Buffalo has a chance to win outright. |
|||||||
04-04-22 | North Carolina +4.5 v. Kansas | 69-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 22 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take North Carolina over Kansas (9:20p.m., Monday, April 4 TBS) The public is all over Kansas in this game and thus we will side with North Carolina. The Tar Heels have been playing better than Kansas in the tournament and I feel they have what it takes to win this game. Kansas will likely not shoot it as well as they did on Saturday. Carolina has a knack for winning close games of late and look for them to win a national championship on Monday. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
04-02-22 | Villanova +4.5 v. Kansas | Top | 65-81 | Loss | -110 | 55 h 10 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take Villanova over Kansas (6:09p.m., Saturday, April 2 TBS) Nobody is giving Villanova much of a chance in this game since they will be without Justin Moore for this game. Villanova is a pesky team that can really slow the game down and make all their free throws as a team. They can frustrate Kansas and I do not believe this is one of Coach Self’s most talented teams. The Wildcats are earned this spot beating three impressive teams to reach the Final Four. Kansas had a much easier draw, and they are not as battle tested in the NCAA Tournament this season. The underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 games between Villanova and Kansas. The Jayhawks are 7-20 ATS in their last 27 games following a victory of more than 20 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
04-02-22 | Hornets +6 v. 76ers | 114-144 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 26 m | Show | |
Philly just doesn’t look good lately and it’s obvious that they are overrated by the oddsmakers right now. They have covered only two of their last seven games. They lost tough games to Milwaukee and Phoenix, and they looked in a great spot to bounce back with a win in Detroit, but they scored only 94 points and lost to one of the worst teams in the NBA. The Hornets have won and covered in three of four, and they barely missed a cover in their loss to Denver. We see this as a competitive game from both sides, and we have to take the points here. Philly hasn’t covered in the last four meetings (three Charlotte covers and a push). |
|||||||
03-31-22 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Islanders | 2-5 | Loss | -140 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
This is a back-to-back, home-and-home, as these teams played Tuesday in Columbus. This is like our pick on Seattle a few nights ago as they lost to the Kings and then came back and won big in the rematch. Columbus hung with the better Islanders all game and we think they can do it again here with a great chance to win outright. |
|||||||
03-30-22 | Kings -2.5 v. Rockets | 121-118 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Two bad teams but the Kings are a much better club, and they seem to be building for the future while the Rockets are kind of spinning their wheels. We feel that the Kings are a justified road favorite here. The Rockets scored consecutive wins over a tanking Blazers team and they played San Antonio tough in a recent regional rivalry last time out, and we feel they are a bit Fat and Happy and won’t give much effort here. |
|||||||
03-29-22 | Washington State v. Texas A&M -1.5 | 56-72 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take Texas A&M over Washington State (9:30p.m., Tuesday, March 29 ESPN) The race to be the 69th best team in the country is down to 4 teams. This will be the last year the NIT is played in New York City and expect the Aggies to March onto the finals as a No. 1 seed. The Cougars have been able to control the pace of play in their last two games but will have a hard time doing that against the Aggies on Tuesday. Washington State is 0-5 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Texas A&M is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports. This may be our last day of selections until Saturday. |
|||||||
03-29-22 | Bulls -3.5 v. Wizards | 107-94 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
The Bulls haven’t been playing too well and they are on a B2B but they are the much better team here and they need a win tonight. They are No. 5 now in the EC standings and they don’t want to drop down into the play in area. They are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings in Washington, and this is a chance for an easy win against a Wizards team that doesn’t have the same motivation. |
|||||||
03-28-22 | Seattle Kraken +1.5 v. Kings | Top | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
These teams played Saturday, same venue, and the Kings handled the Kraken pretty easily. Just think it’s very tough to beat a team twice in consecutive games like this. We think Seattle will make the necessary adjustments to keep this one close or maybe even win it. They went into Saturday’s game having won three of four, so they are in nice form right now, and they have played in quite a bit of one-goal games recently. The Kings have been back and forth and haven’t been super consistent lately and they have had some problems on offense and we think the Kraken will bring their A Game in this revenge spot. |
|||||||
03-28-22 | Kings +13 v. Heat | Top | 100-123 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
This is more of a fade of Miami than a statement about Sacramento. Miami is in a freefall right now and this is a very public number. Miami has dropped four straight and they have covered only one of their last nine. They had that very public blowup on the sideline last week, and that is the type of thing that can linger for a long time. Can the Heat win this one and get back on track? Absolutely. But we just don’t see this team getting back on track in a big way with a blowout. The Kings enter having won two straight. They have covered three in a row as they also lost to the Suns in OT. So they are playing well right now. The Kings are 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings so they normally get up for this opponent. |
|||||||
03-27-22 | Miami-FL +6 v. Kansas | 50-76 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 52 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take Miami over Kansas (2:20p.m., Sunday, March 27 CBS) This is not a mismatch in talent at all and Kansas struggles in this round of the NCAA Tournament. Expect this game to go down to the wire and we will grab the points. Miami is 19-6 ATS (1 push) in their last 26 games as an underdog. Kansas is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 NCAA Tournament games. |
|||||||
03-25-22 | North Carolina +2.5 v. UCLA | 73-66 | Win | 100 | 12 h 2 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take North Carolina over UCLA (9:39p.m., Friday, March 25 CBS) Hard to go big on North Carolina, but UCLA has some injuries and the Tar Heels played outstanding their first two games in this tournament. We will grab the points and expect all West Coast teams to be eliminated after tonight. North Carolina is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-25-22 | Wizards v. Pistons -3.5 | 100-97 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
The Pistons have been one of the best betting teams since the beginning of Feb as they have covered in 14 of their last 16 games. They face a Washington team that is on a back-to-back after playing a much more important game last night against Milwaukee. They had a bit of a rally in the second half and used lots of energy, and we don’t think they will have much left here on Friday night. |
|||||||
03-25-22 | Capitals v. Sabres +1.5 | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 6 h 18 m | Show | |
Buffalo has won three straight and five of six, and they are playing well right now. We think this price is more than fair for the puckline and we think this will be a close game that Buffalo has a decent chance to win outright. We think the Sabres are a sharp play here. |
|||||||
03-24-22 | Blackhawks v. Kings -1.5 | Top | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
The Kings are one of the better puckline teams in the NHL at 39-26. They manage to keep things close as an underdog and blow teams out as a favorite. We see the latter happening tonight. The Hawks come in on a back-to-back, and both games will be on the road, which makes things tougher. Not to mention this team is poor on the road and not very good overall. They rank among the worst in the league in offensive and defensive goals scored. They have been losing by multiple goals regularly lately, and we think a rested Kings team that hasn’t left the West Coast in a couple weeks will be ready to put a beatdown on the Blackhawks. |
|||||||
03-24-22 | Texas Tech v. Duke +1.5 | Top | 73-78 | Win | 100 | 82 h 36 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #630 Duke over Texas Tech (9:39p.m., Thursday, March 24 CBS) NCAA TOURNAMENT GAME OF THE YEAR Texas Tech has been overvalued this season by the odds makers and metrics and I do not believe they should be favored in this game (morning line odds). Coach K has a great record in this round 16-9 and I do not believe this is the type of team that can take out Duke Texas Tech is a great defensive team, but they struggle at times on offense, and I am not sure they will be able to score enough to keep pace with Duke. They also have a first-year coach with them who did not have any success in his previous stop as a head coach. I am not sure I trust him in a close game against the greatest coach in college basketball. Everyone wants to see a Duke – Gonzaga Elite 8 game and I feel that will happen. Duke has a national fan base, and they will be well represented in this game that takes place in San Francisco. Texas Tech is 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games played on Thursday. Duke is 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games played on Thursday. |
|||||||
03-24-22 | Wizards v. Bucks -13 | Top | 102-114 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
The Bucks started off the season slow. Maybe it was the NBA Finals hangover. But no matter, they are in playoff form now and have won nine of 11 games. They have covered in eight of those games, so despite lots of respect from the oddsmakers they are still getting the job done in a big way. They have motivation as well as they will want to get that No. 1 seed, and they are currently a couple games back of Miami. Washington is mathematically still alive, but who are we kidding. This team will be eliminated soon, and right now they are probably just playing out the string. If their last game was any indication, that is exactly the case as they lost to the Rockets by 18. This team is getting blown out on a regular basis, and we don’t see the Bucks breaking too much of a sweat to win this one by double digits. |
|||||||
03-23-22 | Magic v. Thunder +2 | Top | 102-118 | Win | 100 | 8 h 37 m | Show |
Orlando is coming off one of its biggest wins of the year last night at home against Golden State. Now they have to turn around on a back-to-back and play a team that is desperate for a win and one they just beat at home on Sunday. OKC will be looking for revenge. We just think this is a big letdown spot for Orlando and this team doesn’t deserve to be a road favorite over any team in the NBA. OKC is one of the best ATS teams in the NBA at 43-25-4 on the season. They have dealt with a lot of injuries but they still manage to play above oddsmakers expectations, and they probably have the best player on the court right now in Alexander. OKC has covered in six of the last seven meetings. OKC has had a very tough schedule. If they are to end the losing streak, this is the game to do it. |
|||||||
03-22-22 | Bulls v. Bucks -7 | Top | 98-126 | Win | 100 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
We like to back a good team after a bad loss, and that is the case here tonight. Last time we saw the Bucks they lost by almost 20 in Minnesota. They have had two days to let that loss go, and we think they will be motivated and prepared against a regional rival here. The Greek Freak should be back here as he is probable, and he is well rested after missing the Minnesota game. He hasn’t been out long enough to be rusty, but he has been out long enough to regain some energy that is crucial at this point of the season. Chicago is on a back-to-back here, and we see a dominating win from the home team. |
|||||||
03-21-22 | Wolves v. Mavs -2 | Top | 108-110 | Push | 0 | 9 h 39 m | Show |
Dallas has lost two straight and they were embarrassed last time out on the road in Charlotte and they lost to Philly on the road also. This is getting down to the nitty gritty with the postseason in sight and we don’t see the Mavs dropping three straight, and they are back home for this one. Both these teams are close together in the standings and this is a crucial game for the Mavs as they need to fend off the charging Wolves but also avoid dropping down into the play in seedings. They have won eight of their last 11 so we aren’t to worried about those two losses. They are in fine form overall. And the Wolves have had some nice wins for sure but their recent run is a bit deceiving as they have faced teams with missing stars and many bad teams. They will face a very motivated team tonight and one that is the better club, and this line is more than fair. Dallas has a strong betting history against the Wolves as they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings in Dallas and 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings overall. |

03-20-22 | Texas v. Purdue -3 | 71-81 | Win | 100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #820 Purdue -3 over Texas (8:40p.m., Sunday, March 20 TNT) The bracket has opened up and it is now or never for Matt Painter and Purdue to reach the final four. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-20-22 | Notre Dame +8 v. Texas Tech | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take Notre Dame +8 over Texas Tech (7:10p.m., Sunday, March 20 TBS) Texas Tech is a good matchup for Notre Dame with their defensive stuff and I think Notre Dame can keep this game in single digits. |
|||||||
03-20-22 | Iowa State v. Wisconsin -3.5 | 54-49 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 36 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #822 Wisconsin over Iowa State (6:10p.m., Sunday, March 20 TNT) Iowa State was not a good team once conference play started, I do not see them being competitive in what will be a true road game for them. Would go higher if Johnny Davis would 100% but the Badgers still have enough firepower to win this game by double-digits. Iowa State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-20-22 | Houston v. Illinois +4.5 | 68-53 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Illinois over Houston (12:10p.m., Sunday, March 20 CBS) This line almost feels like a trap, but Illinois should not be this big of an underdog against Houston. These are similar teams, but the spread is based off their performance on Friday. I am not a believer in carryover and feel Illinois will play much better on offense in this game despite Houston being an outstanding defensive team. Illinois won the Big 10 regular season and that is a much better conference that the AAC. Illinois is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
03-19-22 | St. Mary's v. UCLA -2.5 | Top | 56-72 | Win | 100 | 25 h 15 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take UCLA over Saint Mary’s (7:10p.m., Saturday, March 19 TBS) I believe UCLA has the potential to return the Final Four and should be able to knockoff a mid-major for California. Saint Mary’s had a huge break getting Indiana in the round of 64. The Hoosiers had to play in the play in game on Tuesday and then had flight issues getting out to Portland. That will not the case on Saturday, as the Bruins will be well rested and battle tested. Saint Mary’s is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 NCAA Tournament games as underdog. UCLA is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. The Bruins have a major edge in talent and I just do not believe Saint Mary’s will have an offensive explosion again on Saturday. |
|||||||
03-19-22 | Bucks -2.5 v. Wolves | 119-138 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 5 m | Show | |
Props to the Timberwolves. They have been playing great and are one of the best surprises of the NBA season. But their recent run has come against a lot of bad teams. We think the Buck stops here today, so to speak. Milwaukee is red hot also, and they have covered six of seven. They are coming off a long rest and they have motivation for the postseason here. |
|||||||
03-18-22 | TCU v. Seton Hall +1 | 69-42 | Loss | -110 | 51 h 16 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #782 Seton Hall over TCU (9:57p.m, Friday, March 16 TruTV) Seton Hall has some injury issues but only to one key player and he has been out awhile, so they are able to adjust without him. TCU finished below .500 in the Big 12 and never plays a competitive nonconference schedule. TCU is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games played on Friday. Seton Hall is 8-2 ATS in tier last 10 games played on Friday. |
|||||||
03-18-22 | Davidson +1.5 v. Michigan State | 73-74 | Win | 100 | 51 h 52 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #751 Davidson over Michigan State (9:40p.m., Friday, March 17 CBS) Just do not like this Michigan State team in 2022. They do not have any special players and do not shoot it well from the arc either. They did not finish the season well and I do not see them being able to turn it around in March. Davidson gets the advantage of playing this game in South Carolina and has a bad taste in their mouth after blowing the Atlantic-10 Championship last time out on Sunday. The Wildcats are a great offensive team and I just do not believe Michigan State will be able to match them in scoring. Everyone believes in Coach Izzo, but he just does not have the weapons this year to make a deep run into the tournament. Davidson is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games. They have a veteran coach as well and they will win this game straight-up. |
|||||||
03-18-22 | Clippers +5.5 v. Jazz | Top | 92-121 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
The Clippers have covered in three of five, but they are playing even better than that looks. They missed the cover by a single point last time out vs. Toronto and they were catching seven in Cleveland and lost in OT, so they should have covered that one and there was a questionable call against them at the end of regulation. Utah will be missing some key pieces here as they have two starters out, including their best player, and some key role players. The usual suspects are out for LA, but they have their main core that has played this season ready to go. The Clippers have covered in four of the last five meetings and we think they go all out here to try and win this one outright as the Jazz are very vulnerable tonight missing these players. |
|||||||
03-18-22 | Miami-FL +1.5 v. USC | 68-66 | Win | 100 | 45 h 41 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take #755 Miami over USC (3:10p.m., Friday, March 16 TruTV) USC has been a fraud all season long and now must make a cross country flight to play a solid Miami team. The Hurricanes are a surprise team in the ACC this season and have some quality wins including at Duke. USC played nobody in the nonconference portion of the season and they are not as talented as they were last season. Miami is 22-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 31 games as an underdog. USC is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite. Said I was going to fade USC in the tournament and now we have a great spot to do that. |
|||||||
03-17-22 | Akron +14 v. UCLA | 53-57 | Win | 100 | 56 h 21 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Akron over UCLA (9:50p.m., Thursday, March 17 TBS) This line has come down during the week and we will follow the movement. UCLA has not put it together this season despite having great talent and I do not see them blowing out the Zips in this game. They could not beat Arizona without Kerr Kriiisa and a 12-point lead in the PAC-12 Championship Game. They will win this game, but I do not see them doing it by double-digits. Akron is 28-10 ATS in their last 38 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
03-17-22 | Pistons +2.5 v. Magic | Top | 134-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show |
Detroit has been one of the best NBA bets in March and they have covered in 11 of their last 12. Orlando has been inconsistent, even for a bad team, and they are coming off a 40+ beatdown here at home to Brooklyn. Detroit has covered in 7 of the last 10 meetings, and we think this is a great chance for a rare road win for them. |
|||||||
03-17-22 | Marquette v. North Carolina -3 | 63-95 | Win | 100 | 51 h 14 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take North Carolina over Marquette (4:30p.m., Thursday, March 17 TBS) North Carolina does not lose many first-round games and they are facing a team that lost 5 of their last 8 games to close out the season. The Golden Eagles are still in rebuild mode and are ahead of schedule making the NCAA Tournament this season. They do not have the talent that Carolina does and expect the Tar Heels to win this game by close to double digits. Marquette is 1-5 ATS (1 push) in their last 7 NCAA Tournament games. Carolina has covered 4 of their last 5 games. |
|||||||
03-17-22 | South Dakota State +2.5 v. Providence | 57-66 | Loss | -110 | 47 h 15 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take South Dakota State over Providence (12:40p.m., Thursday, March 17 TruTV) Providence is not as good as their record would indicate and the spread in this game tells me a great deal. They are now facing a red-hot team that ran the table in the Summit League and they are third in the country at scoring at over 86 points per game. SDSU is 10-1 ATS in their last 11 neutral site games as an underdog. Providence is 7-19 ATS I their last 26 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-16-22 | Lakers v. Wolves -8.5 | Top | 104-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 22 m | Show |
The Lakers continue to get too much respect from the oddsmakers. This looks like a double-digit line to us. The Lakers are coming off consecutive double digit losses. This looks like another blowout to us. Minnesota looks like a real contender with eight wins and covers in their last nine games. They are peaking while many other teams are in their mid-season funk. They already had their letdown game against Orlando and that is the only game they didn’t cover in the last nine. The Lakers are always one of the worst ATS teams in the league every year even when they are a dominant team, but they have been one of the worst ATS teams again this season and they are once again being given too much credit by the oddsmakers as we had this game handicapped at -13 and think the home team had tremendous value here. |
|||||||
03-15-22 | Pistons +13 v. Heat | 98-105 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Detroit has covered in 10 of their last 11 games. This team is playing well under the radar and we like them getting over double digits tonight. Their non cover was last time out hosting the Clippers where they lost by 4 while getting 3.5. The Heat enter having lost two of three. We expect Detroit to stay within double digits here. They are 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings. |
|||||||
03-14-22 | Nuggets v. 76ers -1.5 | 114-110 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
The last time we saw these Sixers at home, they were blown out of the building by the Nets. That was an embarrassing performance in front of the home fans, and then they needed OT to get by Orlando on the road last time out, so we think they put their best foot forward here tonight. The Nuggets have been a little overrated by the oddsmakers lately and they are 0-4 ATS in their last four and enter having lost two straight. We see a motivated Philly team tonight. |
|||||||
03-13-22 | Iowa +2.5 v. Purdue | 75-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
1 Unit Play. Take Iowa over Purdue (3:30p.m., Sunday, March 13 CBS) Purdue seems to always be a top team in the Big 10 but does not have much postseason success. Iowa had been on a mission and look for them win the Big 10 Conference Championship on Sunday. Iowa is 16-7 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 25 neutral site games. Purdue is 1-8 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 11 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
03-11-22 | Virginia Tech v. North Carolina -2.5 | 72-59 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #866 North Carolina over Virginia Tech (9:30p.m., Friday, March 11 ESPN) Carolina has been playing their best basketball of the season. They need to guard the arc, but if they do they should be able to win this game. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-11-22 | Ohio v. Kent State +1.5 | 61-67 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #854 Kent State +1.5 over Ohio (7:30p.m., Friday, March 11 CBSSN) Ohio was expected to win the MAC but finished third in the regular season. Expect them to lose to the No. 2 seed on Friday. |
|||||||
03-11-22 | Michigan State v. Wisconsin -3 | 69-63 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #820 Wisconsin -3.5 over Michigan State (6:30p.m., Friday, March 11 BTN) Would go higher if I knew Johnny Davis was 100%. Michigan State is just not that good this season. They beat Wisconsin without Tyler Wahl but that will not be the case today. |
|||||||
03-11-22 | UAB -6.5 v. Middle Tennessee | 102-98 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 25 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #841 UAB -6.5 over Middle Tennessee (3p.m., Friday, March 11 CBSSN) The line on this game tells me a lot. The Blue Raiders won the east side of Conference USA yet are a big underdog in this game. UAB is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. MTSU is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-11-22 | LSU v. Arkansas -2.5 | 67-79 | Win | 100 | 3 h 54 m | Show | |
3 Unit Play. Take #834 Arkansas -3 over LSU (2:30p.m., Friday, March 11 ESPN2) The Tgiers have been a sinking ship for most of the season since the turn of the calendar and I do not expect them to right the ship and make a long run in the conference tournament. They just do not have many quality wins of late and I do not see them winning this game against Arkansas in Tampa. The Razorbacks are 7-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 9 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
03-10-22 | Nets v. 76ers -4 | Top | 129-100 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 37 m | Show |
The Nets haven’t had any stability in the roster this season, and that has led to some disappointing results on the court for the team that was favored entering the season in the East. There are some very wacky trends out there that are meaningless, but this one fits the Nets perfectly: they are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games where they won by 10 or more points. So they normally follow up a good game with a dud, and they won by double digits against Charlotte last time out. Philly is just quietly getting the job done and they have won eight of 10 and when they win they normally cover. We think the home team has a great chance for a 7+-point win here. |
|||||||
03-10-22 | Oregon v. Colorado +1 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #778 Colorado over Oregon (5:30p.m., Thursday, March 10 P12N) Just have no confidence in Oregon this season, especially down the stretch. Beating Oregon State is not an accomplishment and they will enter having lost 3 of their last 4 games. They must win the conference tournament to make the NCAA Tournament and I just do not see that happening. The Buffaloes have played well down the stretch and will enter this game having won 7 of their last 8. Oregon is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games. Colorado is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games. |
|||||||
03-10-22 | UNLV +1 v. Wyoming | 56-59 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #785 UNLV over Wyoming (5:30p.m., Thursday, March 10 CBSSN) UNLV has been absolutely terrible in this tournament over the years despite having it played on their home floor. But they now have a really good coach and are playing a team that just beat last week. The Cowboys have faltered a little down the stretch having lost 3 of their last 5 games. UNLV is 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following an ATS loss in their previous game. Wyoming is 11-23 ATS in their last 34 neutral site games as a favorite. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Old Dominion v. UTEP -2 | 64-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
5 Unit Play. Take #688 UTEP -2 over Old Dominion (9p.m., Wednesday, March 9 ESPN+) We will lay the number with the better team that played in the better division of Conference USA. The Miners have won 4 of their last 6 games and have the best player on the floor tonight playing this game in their home state of Texas. The Monarchs are 4-17 ATS in their last 21 neutral site games. The Miners are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Celtics -7.5 v. Hornets | 115-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Boston is playing well right now and they are well rested and catch the Hornets on a back to back. In fact, Boston is playing as well as any team in the NBA and the Hornets are overrated after their hot start but they have come back to earth a bit. Boston has covered in nine of the last 12 meetings here in Charlotte. |
|||||||
03-09-22 | Ole Miss v. Missouri +4 | 60-72 | Win | 100 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #680 Missouri over Ole Miss (6p.m., Wednesday, March 9 SECN) Just do not believe Ole Miss should be favored against anyone in the conference, especially in a neutral site game. The Tigers finished ahead of the Rebels in the standings and should be able to take this game down to the wire. Ole Miss has just won one game since February 2nd. The Rebels are 2-8 in their last 10 neutral site games as a favorite. Missouri is 20-8 ATS (1 push) in their last 29 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
03-08-22 | Clippers +5.5 v. Warriors | 97-112 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
The Clippers were embarrassed last time out against the Knicks in a blowout, snapping a five-game winning streak. They now face one of their biggest rivals. Possibly they were looking ahead to this game during the Knicks loss? Golden State is in a freefall and has dropped seven of their last eight. They come in on a B2B even though key players rested last night, there will be some tired role players on the roster here. Clippers have covered in six of the last seven meetings here. |
|||||||
03-08-22 | Wagner +3.5 v. Bryant | 43-70 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Wagner over Bryant (7p.m., Tuesday, March 8 ESPN2) We have seen upsets happen a bunch of the last week in these smaller conference tournaments and I expect this game to go down to the wire. We will grab the points with Wagner in the Northeast Conference Tournament Championship Game. Bryant beat Wagner to close the regular season and earn the top seed and thus get to host this game. The Seahawks are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
03-07-22 | Northern Kentucky v. IUPU Ft Wayne +2 | 57-43 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
6 Unit Play. Take #882 Purdue Fort Wayne over Northern Kentucky (9:30p.m., Monday, March 7 ESPN2) We are getting the better team with points and that is too good to pass up on Monday night in Detroit. This is a rubber match between these two teams, but the Mastodons have won 10 straight games. Northern Kentucky is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games played on Monday. Purdue Fort Wayne is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as underdog. |
|||||||
03-07-22 | Lakers +2.5 v. Spurs | 110-117 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 57 m | Show | |
Even in this down season for LA, they are still a better team than the Spurs. And they are trending upward in our opinion. They are coming off a very nice win over the Warriors. So the heat is off them, at least momentarily, and they can just go out and play their game tonight. We had the Lakers as a slight favorite here, so we think the wrong team is favored. |
|||||||
03-06-22 | Michigan v. Ohio State -3.5 | 75-69 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 37 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Ohio State over Michigan (12:30p.m., Sunday, March 6 FOX) Just do not believe Michigan is very good this season and they are coming off 4 straight home games. Ohio State has struggled at time this season, but they did right the ship last game winning by 11 points against Michigan State. The Buckeyes are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-05-22 | San Diego State -3.5 v. Nevada | Top | 79-78 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 18 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take San Diego State over Nevada (10:30p.m., Saturday, March 5 CBSSN) Just do not believe Nevada is very good this season and this will do a complete rebuild next year. San Diego State cannot afford a loss in this game if they have any hopes of making the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team. The Aztecs have had great success against Nevada and they will enter having won 8 of their last 9 games. That includes wins at Wyoming and Fresno State, much tougher venues then they will face tonight. San Diego State is 21-8 ATS in their last 29 games as a road favorite. The road team is 7-0 ATS in the last 7 games between San Diego State and Nevada. Best of Luck – Doc’s Sports |
|||||||
03-05-22 | Warriors v. Lakers +6 | Top | 116-124 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show |
Really not a true Must Win but the Lakers really need a strong performance here. They were embarrassed last time out against their Little Brother Clippers, and they have lost four straight. They will at least give a lot of effort here. Just can’t see another blowout. The Warriors have dropped five of six, so they aren’t in the best form right now. We rarely ever take the Lakers ATS because they are normally overvalued but the public bettors have jumped off the ship and there is actually value in this line tonight. |
|||||||
03-05-22 | Drake +1.5 v. Missouri State | 79-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #767 Drake over Missouri State (6:00p.m., Saturday, March 5 CBSSN) Just believe Drake is the better team in this semi-final game. Both teams are coming off easy wins but I just do not believe Missouri State is good enough to beat Drake three times in one season. The Bears are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games. |
|||||||
03-04-22 | Southern Illinois v. Drake -3.5 | 52-65 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Drake over Southern Illinois (9:30p.m., Friday, March 4 ESPN+) The quarterfinals of the MVC take place on Friday with two teams needing to win it all to make the NCAA Tournament. Drake had a solid 13-5 MVC record this season and finished the season with 5 straight wins including a two-point victory against Southern Illinois last time out. Look for them to have an easier time with Southern Illinois tonight and win this game by close to double-digits. Drake is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games played on Friday. |
|||||||
03-03-22 | Lakers v. Clippers -2.5 | Top | 111-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
The Clippers have won six straight in this series. They have owned the Lakers recently. They covered all but one of those games, and in that lone ATS loss the Clippers controlled most of the game until a late Lakers rally. The Lakers are the main rival for the Clippers, but it is a rare one-way rivalry in sports. The Lakers have other more important rivals, so this is normally just another game to them. And the Lakers stink this season, while the Clippers have played pretty well through major injuries and roster turnover. |
|||||||
03-03-22 | Illinois-Chicago v. IUPU Ft Wayne -6 | 72-78 | Push | 0 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #808 Purdue Fort Wayne over Illinois Chicago (7p.m., Thursday, March 3 ESPN+) The Mastodons have been on fire to close out the regular season with 9 straight wins to close out the regular season. That included a 7-point victory against UIC and look for them to win this game by double-digits, as they advance onto the semi-finals of the Horizon League Conference Tournament. The Flames are 3-9 ATS (1 push) in their last 13 games following an ATS win in their previous game. The Mastodons are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games against teams with a losing record. |
|||||||
03-01-22 | Purdue v. Wisconsin +3 | Top | 67-70 | Win | 100 | 23 h 19 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take Wisconsin over Purdue (9p.m., Tuesday, March 1 ESPN) Big 10 Game of the Year Something is not right with Purdue, and I expect Wisconsin to complete this miraculous season and win the Big 10 outright. A win today will all but ensure that happens, as they would just have a home game against Nebraska over the weekend. Purdue has great size, but Zach Edey cannot play many minutes and this team is just not that good at playing defense. Wisconsin has the best player on the floor in Johnny Davis and he will want to make a statement in this game that he is the Big 10 Players of the Year and a lottery pick in the NBA draft come June. Purdue has lost 4 road games in the Big 10 this season and this will be the first time this season the Kohl Center will be rocking with the student section in the game for a full 40 minutes. Wisconsin will enter this game having won 4 straight games (3 of them on the road) and has a remarkable record this season in close games. Wisconsin is finally developing a bench and look for them to complete the regular season as champions on Tuesday. The home team is 6-2 ATS (1 push) in the last 9 games between Purdue and Wisconsin. Purdue is 0-3 ATS (2 pushes) in their last 5 games. Wisconsin is 10-4 ATA in their last 14 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
|||||||
02-28-22 | San Diego State v. Wyoming +2 | 73-66 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 8 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take Wyoming over San Diego State (9p.m., Monday, February 28 CBSSN) Not sure why San Diego State is favored in this game at Arena Auditorium in Laramie, WY. The Cowboys have a better chance to make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team and they have not lost a home game this season. SDSU has been playing better of late and most of those wins have come against the bottom of the conference. Wyoming is 24-7 ATS in their last 31 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
02-28-22 | Kings v. Thunder +5.5 | 131-110 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Sacramento is 7-22 on the road this season. They are a slightly better team in this matchup but we think this is too many points for them to lay on the road. The Thunder are one of the best ATS teams in the NBA this season. They should be focused here as this is a very winnable game, and we think the home dog has a great chance to cash. |
|||||||
02-26-22 | South Carolina +10.5 v. Alabama | Top | 71-90 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 19 m | Show |
10 Unit Play. Take #727 South Carolina over Alabama (6p.m., Saturday, February 26 SECN) We have been fading Alabama during much of the conference season and today will be no different. The Tide are not anywhere near as strong as they were last season. They struggle to shoot it well from the arc as well as rebound efficiently. Carolina will enter having won 4 straight games and are starting to play some of their best basketball of the season. The underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between Alabama and South Carolina. The Gamecocks have covered the spread in their last 5 games. Alabama is 1-10 ATS in their last 11 home games. |

02-26-22 | Wisconsin +2.5 v. Rutgers | 66-61 | Win | 100 | 7 h 35 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #717 Wisconsin +2.5 over Rutgers (6p.m., Saturday, February 26 BTN) Just do not believe Rutgers is good enough to beat Wisconsin twice in the regular season. The Scarlet Knights have been streaky this season and now they are on a downward trend having lost two straight games but 9 or more points. They play better at home, but they do not warrant being favored against the top team in the conference. The Badgers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games against teams with a winning home record. |

02-26-22 | IUPU Ft Wayne v. Detroit -3 | 81-78 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
7 Unit Play. Take #616 Detroit -3 over Purdue Fort Wayne (1p.m., Saturday, February 26 ESPN+) Detroit has an impressive 10-6 record at home despite playing 11 of their 16 Horizon League games on the road. They close out the regular season with 4 straight home games and look to make it 4 for 4 with a win today. This was just a two point game when these two teams met earlier this season in Fort Wayne and I expect the Titans to win this game by close to double-digits. Detroit is 10-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 12 games as a home favorite. |

02-25-22 | Clippers +1.5 v. Lakers | Top | 105-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show |
The Clippers are the disrespected little brother in their own city, and they normally get up big for this matchup. They are 9-1 ATS in the last 10 when the official road team in this matchup. They should have covered in the last meeting but they fell apart late but still won the game. This Lakers team is a mess and we just don’t think they are good or going to turn it around at any point. Nice value in this line tonight. |

02-24-22 | Bruins -1.5 v. Seattle Kraken | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 28 h 40 m | Show | |
Boston was in a slump but they have righted the ship and they have won two straight, including a massive four-goal win in Colorado last time out. We think they keep the momentum going here. Seattle has lost five straight, and all but one of those was by double digits. Seems like Boston would be motivated here after the slump. |

02-24-22 | Hawks v. Bulls -3 | 108-112 | Win | 100 | 26 h 47 m | Show | |
The Bulls are a much better team overall and the Hawks struggle on the road. We think after the long break that going on the road for the first game back is a bad situation for a team that plays poorly in general away from home. The Bulls were a hot betting team before the break at 5-1 ATS, and we feel they will pick up right where they left off. |

02-24-22 | Grizzlies -2.5 v. Wolves | 114-119 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 46 m | Show | |
These are two of the big surprise teams in the NBA this season. But the difference is that the Wolves are just a surprise but the Grizzlies are a true contender. Memphis has been one of the best betting teams this season and very consistent. Minnesota has been somewhat inconsistent. We think the Grizzlies will put an emphasis on starting off the unofficial second half of the season with a strong performance. |

02-24-22 | DePaul v. Georgetown +3.5 | 68-65 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #796 Georgetown over DePaul (8:00p.m., Thursday, February 24 CBSSN) Georgetown is terrible and Patrick Ewing will likely be fired in March. That being said, I just cannot picture them going winless in the Big East this season and this is their only chance to get a win in their last 4 games. DePaul will enter with just a 3-13 conference record and they just should not be favored against anyone on the road. DePaul is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 games between DePaul and Georgetown. |

02-24-22 | Blue Jackets +1.5 v. Panthers | 6-3 | Win | 135 | 25 h 41 m | Show | |
Florida rarely loses at home but we think Columbus will make a game of this. They are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now and they have been knocking off big favorites left and right. Sometimes confidence is all you need as an NHL team as all the clubs in the league are loaded with talent. We like the value on the plus money puckline here. |

02-23-22 | Wisconsin -5 v. Minnesota | 68-67 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 42 m | Show | |
4 Unit Play. Take #735 Wisconsin over Minnesota (9p.m., Wednesday, February 23 BTN) Wisconsin usually plays to the level of their competition, but they are coming off an emotional win against Michigan on Sunday and look for them to take care of business tonight at the Barn. The Badgers have a chance to win the regular season title but must win their next two games in order to achieve that. They let Minnesota hang around in the first game but expect a more complete 40 minute performance tonight. Wisconsin is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. Minnesota is 0-8 ATS in their last 8 games following an ATS win in their previous game. |
