03-08-20 | Pelicans -6.5 v. Wolves | Top | 120-107 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the New Orleans Pelicans The Pelicans are backing themselves up against the wall. They still have a chance to run down Memphis for a playoff spot but they have to start winning games and had the easiest schedule of any team in the NBA for their final 20 games. Nice spot for NOLA here against a T-Wolves team that was done long ago and just 8-23 at the Target Center. New Orleans has covered five straight as a road favorite and have no excuse not to blow out Minnesota here. |

03-08-20 | Valparaiso v. Bradley -3 | Top | 66-80 | Win | 100 | 2 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Bradley Braves The teams split their MVC games this year and have in fact split the last six games in the series. Valpo was the No.7 seed that has played Cinderella winning three games in three nights by a combined 11 points. Bradley is a veteran bunch that won this tourney last year and is No.43 in the country in defensive efficiency. Looking for Bradley to bring the hammer down here and win this game comfortably ... wire-to-wire. |

02-28-20 | Siena -5.5 v. Marist | Top | 52-50 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 37 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Siena Saints Marist appears to have mailed it in as they are just 1-4 L5 and just 2-9 L11 in this series. The Foxes were spanked 70-57 at Siena on January 24th. Urgency completely with Siena which features the league's best guard in Pinkett. The Saints have won six straight and lead St Pete's by half a game in the MAAC. Sienna has won four straight in the series and there is nothing in current form to indicate the visitors cannot win and cover this very reasonable number. |

02-22-20 | Wyoming v. Air Force -7.5 | Top | 78-72 | Loss | -106 | 5 h 31 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Air Force Falcons The Flyboys are not much but do own some wins over quality opponents and get their first real break here after s trip through the Mountain West gauntlet. The Falcons won the first go around 86-77 in Laramie, all the way back on December 4th. Air Force with a chance to finish up strong with three winnable games finish the MWC regular season. Air Force 81-60. |
|||||||
02-14-20 | IUPU-Indianapolis v. Northern Kentucky -15 | Top | 70-84 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 45 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Northern Kentucky Norse Two teams headed in opposite directions. IUPUI is 4-20 on the year, 2-11 in the Horizon and was already smoked by Northern Kentucky 96-71 earlier in the year. In that game, the Norse shot 77% from inside the arc and things don't figure to change much here. NKU has won four straight, 10-3 in the Horizon, and won four straight home games, three by 13+. Crush shot. |
|||||||
02-12-20 | Furman -11.5 v. Samford | Top | 86-71 | Win | 100 | 7 h 52 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Furman Paladins For whatever reason, Samford seems to be a sexy team among "sharp money" players and that was the case again last night after the Bulldogs were hit hard early. Not sure why as Samford has been a religious ticket burner at 5-17-1 ATS and was already hammered by Furman (101-78) back on January 22 in a game nowhere near as close as the final. Furman is locked in a dogfight with ETSU atop the Southern and will be primed with Chatt and ETSU on deck. Furman by 20. |
|||||||
02-10-20 | Kings v. Bucks -10 | Top | 111-123 | Win | 100 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Milwaukee Bucks The Bucks have run roughshod over the league in the first half and have also been solid money makers the way we keep score despite usually having to pay an exorbitant "Greek Freak" tax. Milwaukee is 13-1 straight up and 10-4 ATS L14 winning 7 straight in the series (5-2 ATS) in what have been shootouts (10 straight series overs) of late. The Bucks seem to be well focused and dialed in and won't want lose any momentum headed into the break. Bucks by 18. |
|||||||
02-08-20 | Mavs -4 v. Hornets | Top | 116-100 | Win | 100 | 8 h 28 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Dallas Mavericks The Mavs lost by a point last night at Washington but should get right back on track here against the struggling Hornets. Dallas has played well with and without Luca on the road and here they'll face a Charlotte team that has lost 11 of 12 games, is 2-6-1 L9 ATS at Time Warner Arena and have given every indication that they've quit on the season. Lay it. |
|||||||
02-06-20 | Pelicans -4.5 v. Bulls | Top | 125-119 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the New Orleans Pelicans New Orleans is slowly but surely working Zion into the rotation and the Pelicans should be tough to deal with the rest of the way. The Pelicans are 10-3 ATS in their L13 road games so they've been playing well with suitcase even before Zion came on the scene. The Pelicans have beaten the Bulls five straight times and the Chicago has lost three straight. Further, the Bulls are just 3-6 ATS L9 at the Untied Center, allowed 125.7 ppg. in their L3, and are at a substantial size disadvantage with recent injuries to their big people. Like New Orleans by double-digits here. |
|||||||
02-01-20 | Cornell v. Yale -17.5 | Top | 71-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 2 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Yale Bulldogs Bullet Analysis: Cornell is 4-10 overall, 0-10 on the road, and were beaten by double-digits by a below-average Brown team last night. Meanwhile, Yale won it's fifth straight as it continues to rampage through the Ivy, spanking Columbia 93-62. Yale is an experienced veteran team that is VERY VERY good, possibly a 6-8 seed Big Dance good. Yale 88-51. |
|||||||
01-31-20 | Columbia v. Yale -14 | Top | 62-93 | Win | 100 | 5 h 60 m | Show |
DMack''s NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Yale Bulldogs Yale is a killer that will likely run the table in the Ivy. The Bulldogs are for real and a definite threat to get past the first weekend in the Big Dance. This is just Yale's fourth home game all year and they are a perfect 3-0 with all wins by 11+ points. Columbia is 5-12 overall, and 0-3 versus the RPI top 100 losing by 19-18-36 points. Yale is 7-1 L8 in the series but count on the Bulldog's being very serious here as the one loss was on this floor last year. Yale 84-60. |
|||||||
01-30-20 | Western Kentucky -2.5 v. Florida Atlantic | Top | 65-69 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers Western Kentucky has won 5 straight, is 7-1 in conference, and has two nice road wins in their last two road outings. The Hilltoppers are 9-5 in their L14 as a CUSA road fave and face an FAU team that has lost three straight. CUSA road favorites of 5 or less are a perfect 4-0 this year and this is a top spot for a red-hot WKY outfit laying small points. |
|||||||
01-29-20 | Holy Cross v. Navy -11 | Top | 66-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 0 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Navy Midshipmen Analysis to follow |

01-28-20 | Warriors v. 76ers -12 | Top | 104-115 | Loss | -101 | 7 h 10 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Philadelphia 76ers The Warriors have been reduced to a D-League roster and it shows as Golden State is just 1-12 in its L13. To their credit, the players that they do have play hard and the Warriors are 12-11 ATS on the road getting the big points they normally get. That said, they face a monster tonight in the 76ers who have won and covered their last seven home games and are 8-1 ATS L9 in the series, 5-0 ATS in their L5 in the series at the Wells Fargo. Joel Embiid looks to be good to go and Philadelphia can name the score if it wants. Philadelphia 113-89. |
|||||||
01-28-20 | Florida State -1 v. Virginia | Top | 56-61 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 54 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Florida State Seminoles These are two of the better defensive teams in college basketball and that was affirmed by the Seminoles 54-50 home win over the Cavs on Jan 15th. Florida State is big, physical, and athletic, and made for this type of matchup. The Sems have won 10 straight, the last three by four or less or in OT. FSU is 7-1 in the ultra-tough ACC but that loss was by a bucket early on (November) at Pitt. Virginia is in a down year and just doesn't score enough regardless of how good their defense. Florida State by 8. |
|||||||
01-27-20 | Spurs -2 v. Bulls | Top | 109-110 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 18 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the San Antonio Spurs Not the best of spots for the Spurs who are off two straight very tough home losses. Getting out of Alamo City might just be the cure for a San Antonio team that is 8-2 in its L10 road games. The Bulls will be short-handed here with Markkanen out 4-6 weeks with a hip injury and not a whole lot of size on the bench. Chicago is off a road win at Cleveland but the Bulls are 0-6 ATS following their L6 straight up wins and just 2-6 ATS in their L8 at the United Center. Chitown just 1-4 straight up in the series and won't have big points to back them up here. Spurs by eight. |
|||||||
01-27-20 | CS Sacramento v. Northern Arizona -1.5 | Top | 54-69 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks Sacramento State is 4-0 at home in Big Sky action but 0-4 on the road where they find themselves tonight. The Hornets average just 50.5 ppg. on the conference road and their 43.1% shooting percentage is No.346 out of 353 Div-I teams. The Jacks have won three straight and have same season home revenge here having lost 64-57 in Cali in a game that found them down 20 at the half. All eight Northern conference games have been decided by 8 or less and both teams have a propensity to play close games. At the end of the day, it's payback for a home team against a team that is yet to find an answer away from home. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | Suns v. Grizzlies -2.5 | Top | 109-114 | Win | 100 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Memphis Grizzlies Bullet Analysis: Both teams are on the improve but we'll side with the Grizz who are 8-2 L10 and 8-3 ATS in their L11 at home. The Suns are 5-3 L8 with Devin Booker saving the bacon on most nights. Memphis has won 3 of the last 4 in the series on this floor and should be able to cover this very doable number. |
|||||||
01-26-20 | San Diego State -7 v. UNLV | Top | 71-67 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 39 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the San Diego State Aztecs Bullet analysis: The Aztecs are the last unbeaten team in the country and have owned UNLV for a long long time. In fact, SDSU has won 10 straight in the series and have beaten the Rebs four times on their home floor in the L6 Mountain West tournaments. UNLV is 6-2 in conference, 4-0 at home but .... the improving Rebels are 1-6 straight up versus the RPI Top 100 and are no match here. San Diego State by double-digits. |
|||||||
01-24-20 | Suns v. Spurs OVER 227.5 | Top | 103-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 47 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Suns/Spurs Over Bullet Analysis: Both teams are on decent runs with the Suns splitting their L14 overall and on a 6-1 ATS road run. The Spurs have won and covered their last three and are coming around for Pop. For our purposes, the Over is 5-2 in the Suns L7 road games, the Over is 7-2 in the Spurs L9 home games, and the Over has cashed in the last three series games. Go with the flow. |
|||||||
01-22-20 | Lakers -11.5 v. Knicks | Top | 100-92 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Lakers Bullet Analysis: The Lakers were waxed at Boston 139-107 in last in a game that featured the return of Anthony Davis and plenty of off-the-court distractions. Looking for a much more focused and determined Lake Show here at the mecca, MSG, playing a team they beat by 30 at the Staples Center just two weeks ago. The Knicks are 2-8 L10 and as if things couldn't be worse, the bear has been poked. |
|||||||
01-20-20 | High Point v. USC Upstate -6.5 | Top | 70-62 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 23 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the USC Upstate Spartans Slim pickins on this abbreviated MLK car has us in the Big South today. The High Point Panthers are not much going 4-14 overall and 4-12 on the year ATS. The Point is 1-9 straight up on the road and faces a somewhat underrated SCUS team that is 7-11 on a schedule that was front loaded with away games. The Spartans will start making those up over the next few weeks. They're 5-2 at home and a money making 10-5 ATS on the year and we expect them to take care of business in a big way here. |
|||||||
01-19-20 | Loyola-Chicago -3.5 v. Illinois State | Top | 62-50 | Win | 100 | 7 h 56 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Loyola Chicago The dog is 10-1 in the L11 series meetings but Illinois State is 1-4 in five MVC games with an inexplicable win over Northern Iowa. Loyola is really starting to play well winning 8 of its L10 games and is 4-1 in conference play with a three-point loss at a tough Drake outfit the only blemish. Most importantly for our purposes, the Ramblers play good pressure defense that creates turnovers in 24% of opponent possession and are No.2 in the country in shooting percentage inside the arc which would indicate they are getting some very good shot. Lay the points with the small road favorite. |
|||||||
01-18-20 | Pacific v. Santa Clara -3.5 | Top | 80-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Santa Clara Broncos Strangely enough, we still don't know what we have with the 15-4 Santa Clara Broncos who are 14-0 at home and 1-4 ATS on the road. That said, they have played five brutal road games with losses at Gonzaga, Stanford, San Fran with the only red-flag being Nevada. Pacific is a counterfeit 15-5. I've seen this team a couple of times and the Tigers don't rate very high on the eye test. Santa Clara was embarrassed by 50 at the Zags mid-week and overall have been ATS monsters. Back on track here with double-digit win. |
|||||||
01-17-20 | Brown v. Yale -10.5 | Top | 56-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is the Yale Bulldogs The Ivy teams come off a long hiatus with Brown not having played in 15 days, Yale 18. The Bears have lost 9 of 10 in the series and 9 straight on this floor. Yale is ready to rock after having played a tough non-conference schedule (No.35) and owning the No.4 ranked FG% defense in college basketball. Brown turns the ball over on better than 23% of their possessions which just won't work here trying to trade points with the Elis. Yale 76-55. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | Nuggets -4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 134-131 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Denver Nuggets Denver is 14-4 in its L18 games and their 14 wins since December 12th are the best in the NBA. Did a double-take at this number as a the Warriors have lost none straight and are just 1-3 ATS in their L4 home games offering little resistance. Denver has lost three straight versus the Warriors and while this Golden State outfit is a D-League squad at best, a Nugget blow out or at least dominating win would have to be a good thing for the collective Nugget mindset. |
|||||||
01-16-20 | North Florida -1 v. Jacksonville | Top | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 7 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the North Florida Ospreys North Florida figured to be a player in the Atlantic Sun this year and played a tough non-conference schedule, giving teams like Florida and Dayton all they wanted. The Ospreys won their first three conference games but are off a brutal home loss to NJIT in their last with Sun kingpin Liberty on deck. Jacksonville is just 8-10, 4-3 at home, and 1-2 in conference play. The Dolphins scored just 37 points in 16 point loss to Liberty in last and don't have much fire power under normal circumstances. No excuses for Norther Florida here. |
|||||||
01-06-20 | UL - Lafayette v. Appalachian State -7.5 | Top | 81-73 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Appalachian State The Mountaineers have made a living beating up on teams like this. App State swept the Cajuns last year winning by 27-10 points respectively scoring 104 and 90 points. App State saw it's 5-game home court win streak snapped in last by Georgia State, the Mounties first home loss, and the favorite is 5-1 versus teams outside the RPI top 200 which fits here. Lafayette is 5-9 vs. the No.294 ranked schedule and has lost all five true road games, four of those by 12+ points. Both teams play their third game in five nights, further reason to take App State will not also be battling travel. App State by 20. |
|||||||
01-05-20 | Iona v. Monmouth -1.5 | Top | 61-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 38 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Monmouth Iona's season to this point has been nothing short of horrific. The once proud Gaels started college hoops this season, No.1 in experience but are just 2-9 with wins against equally horrific Stetson and Kennesaw out of the Atlantic Sun. Iona is in the top 50 in the nation turning the ball over and a program that was once a proud shooting team is converting just 28% of it's threes. Monmouth saw it's four games win streak snapped on Friday by giving one away at Siena. The Hawks experienced themselves and 6-6 versus a middle of the road but representative schedule and on the improve. They've played a number of close games (L4 decided by 10 total) and should be well prepared here. |
|||||||
01-01-20 | Furman -11.5 v. VMI | Top | 89-73 | Win | 100 | 2 h 1 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Furman The Furman Paladins are a solid program that generally represents itself well. The Paladins are 5-0 versus teams outside the RPI Top 200 and an OT loss to Auburn is an example of their quality. Furman has beaten VMI eight straight, including the last four meetings on this floor, all by 12+ points. The Keydets are awful and 2-9 against the No.332 (out of 352 teams) toughest schedule in the country and 0-3 versus the Top 100 with all losses by double-digits. Being a matinee and because Furman has not played in 12 days, this number opened up soft and took significant play on the overnight. Despite being road chalk here, still think Furman is a top play on a sketchy New Year's Day board and look to the Paladins to win by 20. |
|||||||
12-21-19 | St. John's v. Arizona -10.5 | Top | 70-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 44 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arizona Wildcats St Johns is 10-2 but against schedule No.346 with their best win over West Virginia. The Red Storm's new coach has Arkansas roots and plays the 60 minutes of hell defense but that is not likely to be effective here as the Wildcats have excellent guard play. Arizona is 10-2 but has lost 2 of 3 but those were to Gonzaga and Baylor, both top 15 teams. The Cats have been knocking down better than 38% of their treys so if they knock down some shots early, the Johnny pressure will loosen right up. Arizona 85-68. |
|||||||
12-19-19 | Coastal Carolina -3.5 v. Troy State | Top | 59-77 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 24 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers Troy is just 2-7 versus Div-I opposition and are just not very good. They have a new coach and have had some success pressuring the ball but are clearly outclassed here. Coastal Carolina is 5-4 and has won four straight including a blowout 22-point mauling of Utah who beat Kentucky last night. The Chants are smart, handle the ball well, and can really shoot from the outside (42.2%, No.2) which will loosen things up here. Chants flying under the radar and should be 8-10 point favorites here. Absolutely a top play. |
|||||||
12-06-19 | Wizards v. Heat -9.5 | Top | 103-112 | Loss | -102 | 8 h 46 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Miami Heat Not a great spot for the Wiz who upset the 76ers last night. Washington is just 2-5 L7 and faces a Miami Heat team that is 8-0 at home and will probably be pretty salty after getting spanked at Boston in their most recent. The Heat have been killers versus the number since the preseason and are 7-0 this year as a home favorite. Miami wins this one by 20+. |
|||||||
11-27-19 | Hofstra +1 v. San Diego | Top | 69-79 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen Yeah, yeah, … I know they're the "Pride" … just can't seem to call them that though … my "old school" coming through. Really did a double take at this line. Hofstra is the No.8 team experience team in the country and starts three seniors and two juniors. They've already beaten UCLA and Fullerton on this West Coast swing and face a Torrero outfit that is 2-5 vs. the No.75th ranked schedule and has lost three straight by 17+. This will be my strongest personal position of the night. |
|||||||
11-26-19 | Belmont -6 v. Eastern Washington | Top | 82-87 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 18 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Belmont Bruins Belmont has been one of the best and most overlooked "good" mid-majors for years but we won't pass the Bruins here. Belmont is 4-2 and plays it's fifth true road game which is how this team gets toughened up when it drops in class during conference play. They're a work in progress now but even in this rebuild, are much better in most every aspect than the respected Eastern Washington Eagles who start two frosh and a soph and depend on the three for 44% of their points while shooting less than 33% from behind the arc. Really like Belmont to win comfortably here by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-23-19 | SMU -1 v. UNLV | Top | 72-68 | Win | 100 | 25 h 9 m | Show |
DMack's Saturday NCAAB Play of the Day is on the SMU Mustangs UNLV can't shoot, from in close or outside, and the Mustangs are one of the top ten rebounding teams in the country including the offensive boards where they've corralled 40% of their misses since the start of the season. The Rebs played Kansas State tough but shower their true colors at UCLA and are up against it here. SMU by double-digits. |
|||||||
11-16-19 | Oregon State -10.5 v. Wyoming | Top | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Oregon State Beavers The Oregon State returns three starters and use a rotation of three seniors and three juniors including Tinkle who scored 28 points in a Beaver 19-point win over Wyoming last year. The Cowboys have scored 85 combined points in their last two losses and haven't shown anything to give ANY indications that they can compete here. |
|||||||
06-07-19 | Raptors +4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 105-92 | Win | 100 | 9 h 35 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Finals Game IV Super Play is on the Toronto Raptors I very rarely change my opinion mid-stream but I'm a firm believer of the eye test and the Golden State Warrior team that was put out on the floor in Game III cannot compete at this level. The Warriors were out of the mix from the get go and it took 47 from Steph to make things as close as they were. Sure GSW will likely get Klay back for this one but at what level and I'm not a big klay guy to begin with. That's not to say that he won't go out and get 60 which he does every blue moon. In the end, the Warriors just don't play defense and their bench is the weakest of any of the five teams in the current five game championship run. Toronto straight up. |
|||||||
04-29-19 | Blazers +4 v. Nuggets | Top | 113-121 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Playoff Play of the the Day is on the Portland Trailblazers The Nuggets were life and death to beat the Spurs in Game Seven at home and maybe Denver's big regular season is translating away to a "year away" type series here. Portland will always have the best man on the floor in Damian Lillard and the gutsy PG out of Weber State is getting enough from his surrounding cast that it has me on the Blazers for the series. This will look like the Celtics in Milwaukee last night. Portland 114-103. |
|||||||
04-26-19 | Warriors v. Clippers OVER 232.5 | Top | 129-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 45 m | Show |
DMack's Clippers/Warriors Game VI Super Play is on the Warriors/Clippers Over The Clippers punked the Warriors twice at the Oracle by getting to the basket and making shots. By the way, in Game Five, Durant had 45 and Steph/Klay shot better than 45% from the field. The Clippers return to the Clip joint where they led the NBA in scoring at better than 125 per. Can't see Golden State trying to slow the pace to control Clipper who will want an Up and Down. This looks to be a scorefest start to finish with the final closer to 250 than 230. Play the Over. |
|||||||
04-20-19 | Rockets +2.5 v. Jazz | Top | 104-101 | Win | 100 | 13 h 33 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Playoff Opening Round Game of the Year is on the Houston Rockets Any way you want to cap this game, the Rockets are just a horrible matchup for the Jazz. Houston has won 9 of the last 12 in the series and has won and covered three of the last four here, the final regular season between the two here by 28 points. Houston smoked the Jazz in the first two games in Texas, winning by 32 and 20 points after leading by 16 and 20 at the half and cruising the rest of the way. The Rockets look to be all business this year and we'll get that type of effort here. Rockets straight up, 118-104. |
|||||||
04-02-19 | Wichita State +1 v. Lipscomb | Top | 64-71 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 28 m | Show |
DMack's Wichita/Lipscomb NIT Super Play is in the Wichita State Shockers Lipscomb has to be fird up about playing in New York in front of a national television audience. The Bison are no jokes owning wins over TCU and NC State. They also lost at Louisville by just four so this team can play. Wichita State flipped the switch after 8-11 start to salvage what was supposed to be a rebuilding year. The Shockers are 14-3 down the stretch and all their wins to get here were true road games. Witchy is also ride a hot player in senior McDuffie who will be best on the floor and that means something in a pick 'em. Wichita State 78-70. |

03-31-19 | Grizzlies v. Clippers OVER 221 | Top | 96-113 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 22 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Totals Gimme is on the Grizz/Clippers Over Betting the Clippers Over the total at home is the gift that keeps on giving. Probably sound like a broken record but the Clippers themselves average better than 125 ppg. at the Clip Joint since the first of the year and Lost Angeles still has a seeding to play for and will look to get up and down here. The Grizz play hard every night and have far more options for points with Valanciunas for Gasol. Play the over. |

03-30-19 | Cavs v. Clippers OVER 227.5 | Top | 108-132 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Matinee Mauler is on the Cavs/Clippers Over The Cavaliers are 6-1 to the over in their L7, play little defense, and playing out the string .... just assume to get up and down the floor and pad the stat sheet. The Clippers are 6-1 L7 to the over and average better than 125 ppg. at the Clip Joint. Los Angeles can still avoid the Warriors early by winning out and they have plenty of people that can put the ball in the hole. With their usual production, the Cavs don't need to do much heavy lifting here. Play the OVER. |

03-29-19 | Auburn v. North Carolina -5 | Top | 97-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show |
DMack's Sweet 16 Game of the Year is on the North Carolina Tar Heels Auburn has not had much success against the ACC this year losing to Duke by 6 and by 7 to North Carolina State. The Tigers are experienced and shooting the ball well but face a more physical and athletic team here. The Heels are 11-1 in their L12 with the one-point loss to Duke on Zion's return the only blemish. UNC is also 11-1 in its L16 sweet 16 games with the only loss to Wisconsin four years ago. Add to the mix that over the L4 years that No.1 seeds are 10-1-1 ATS in this round and we have a pretty strong case for Roy Williams bunch. Lay it. |

03-28-19 | Texas Tech v. Michigan -1.5 | Top | 63-44 | Loss | -109 | 13 h 34 m | Show |
DMack's Thursday Sweet 16 Play of the Day is on the Michigan Wolverines Arguably two of the hottest teams in the country in this 2-3 matchup. Both teams are athletic and play great defense but feel that the Wolverines shoot the ball better and will also bank on the mastery of HC John Beilein. The Red Raiders count on turning people over and that just does not happen against Michigan who are No.3 at protecting the ball and No.6 overall in defensive efficiency. Michigan has been here before and moves on. |

03-28-19 | Hampton v. NJIT -3 | Top | 82-70 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
DMack's Thursday CIT Super Play is on the NJIT Highlanders Despite not having played in 10 days, this is actually a very good spot for homestanding NJIT. Hampton played three starters 35+ minutes to advance on Tuesday and have the element of travel as well. The Pirates have lost 6 of 9 true road games and own ONE D-I win outside the Big South. The Highlanders were 13-3 outside the A-Sun against a moderate schedule and wear you down by getting to the foul line ... A LOT! NJIT by double-digits. |

03-25-19 | Coastal Carolina v. West Virginia -9 | Top | 109-91 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 53 m | Show |
DMack's Monday CBI Super Play is on the West Virginia Mountaineers It wouldn't be much of s stretch to say that the West Virginia Mountaineers are the only 15-20 team still playing in the country. It's been a nightmare season for HOF head coach Bob Huggins but was salvaged somewhat by throwing a couple of malcontents off the team, and abandoning his stifling length of the floor press in favor of a wide open offense that allows his kids to play. Remember that their end of the year resurgence and run in the Big 12 tournament was prompted by four end of the bench freshman that play their guts out and can put the ball in the hoop. Coastal Carolina also has a HOF coach in Cliff Ellis and does some nice things but in the end, does not have the fire power to stay with a fired up Mounties team and crowd. |

03-22-19 | Grizzlies v. Magic -6.5 | Top | 119-123 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 28 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Orlando Magic We used the Magic on Wednesday and were an easy winner over a similar team that has quit in the Pelicans. The their credit, the Grizz are 6-4 in their L10 but just 2-6 last eight with suitcase and face an Orlando team that has won and covered three straight. Further, the Magic are 5-2 ATS in their L7 at the O-rena and have won and covered three straight hosting the Grizz. Orlando 106-94. |

03-20-19 | Texas Southern +1.5 v. New Orleans | Top | 95-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show |
DMack's Wednesday College Hoops Dog Bite is on Texas Southern Texas Southern started the year at as the No.4 most experienced team in the country. They beat Baylor and Oregon in non-conference play and then had a disappointing year. The Tigers dominated Prairie View A&M in their conference final before folding late. Can't imagine this team would commit to the CIT if it didn't want to play and our power ranking have wrong team favored here. New Orleans lives and dies on creating turnovers but if Texas Southern protects the ball, they should win easily with more athletic team. Texas Southern 75-65. |

03-16-19 | Iowa State v. Kansas -1.5 | Top | 78-66 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 1 m | Show |
DMack's Iowa State/Kansas Big 12 Tournament Super Play is on the Kansas Jayhawks One these two teams has won the last six Big 12 tournaments so it will be seven after today. The teams split during the year but Clones may have peaked early and closed the year on a 2-6 run after before winning twice here. Kansas, despite injuries and NCAA imposed suspensions, was 8-2 down the stretch and just figure out ways to win. The Jayhawks failed to get a piece of the conference regular season crown for the first time in 14 years so the a win here will be a priority. It took 15 minutes for KU to figure out a white hot West Virginia but they did look for them to find a way to get it done here. Kansas 74-66. |

03-14-19 | Georgetown v. Seton Hall -3 | Top | 57-73 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
DMack's Big East Tournament Game of the Year is on Seton Hall The Pirates are in the unenviable position of having done enough to get off the bubble with wins over Marquette and Villanova in their final two game but probably need to a win here to make it a slam dunk. Like they say in boxing ... Don't leave it in the hands of the judges. Nice spot for the Pirates who lost in double-OT to the Hoyas 12 days ago (three back) but have won six of the last eight in the series. The Pirates have had a lot of success in this tournament and won it in 2016. Patrick and G-Twon headed to the NIT barring a miracle here. Won't happen. Seton Hall 85-74. |

03-12-19 | St. Mary's v. Gonzaga -14.5 | Top | 60-47 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 48 m | Show |
DMack's WCC Tournament Game of the Year is on the Gonzaga Bulldogs This is all about making money .... not the sharp and square bullsh*t. This is the ninth time in 11 years that these two have met in this final with the Zags going 6-2. Gonzaga is 19-0 in conference, winning by an average of 29 ppg, and they've won 18 straight in this event with their last loss in 2012. The Zags have also won 21 straight with their last loss to North Carolina on Dec 15th missing two starters. Assuming Gonzaga wins, do they cover 15 ??? All 21 wins have come by 12+ points and their last six wins in this final have all been by double-digits. This isn't even a vintage St Mary's team and their two regular season losses were by 14 and 48. The Gaels might hang around a while but in the end ... Gonzaga puts the exclamation point on another one seed. Zags by 20. |

03-08-19 | Northern Iowa v. Southern Illinois -3 | Top | 61-58 | Loss | -105 | 18 h 52 m | Show |
DMack's Missouri Valley Conference Lock of the Year is on the Southern Illinois Salukis Southern Illinois is playing its best basketball of the year at the best time of the year. The Salukis have won 4 of 5 and the L4 games in the series including both meetings this year. These games were not blowouts by any means (7,8) but that's what the Salukis do. Southern Illinois started the year as the 7th most experienced team in Division I and it shows as they just don't turn the ball over. Norther Iowa dropped their final two games to finish 9-9 in MVC play. They are just 5-14 SU vs. the KP Top 200 so this is not a vintage Panther outfit by any means. Lay it with LOTS of confidence. Southern Illinois 66-53. |

03-05-19 | VCU -5 v. George Mason | Top | 71-36 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show |
DMack's A-14 Conference Game of the Year is on the VCU Rams This VCU squad may be even better than the Ram squads that teased us in the beginning of the decade under Shaka Smart. Commonwealth still plays the same stifling defense, causing turnovers on better than 23% of opponent possessions but has added much more scoring. Mason has five of six home games but is just 3-5 in their last eight and have dropped 11 of the L13 in the series. VCU has won blew out Mason late in their February 2nd meeting holding the Patriots to just 2-19 from beyond the arc. Don't see this one even close .... VCU by 18. |

02-14-19 | Montana v. Weber State | Top | 83-80 | Win | 100 | 9 h 8 m | Show |
Mack Attack Big Sky Game of the Month is on the Montana Grizzlies The Grizz won round one by seven on their home court with a turnover advantage of +8. Montana had lost 11 straight trips to Ogden before breaking through last year. The Grizz have won seven straight and are also 5-1 on the conference road. Weber is just 2-3 in its L5 and and just 8-6-1 ATS in its L15 home games. There is a changing of the guard in the Big Sky and confirmed tonight with Montana winning by double-digits. |
|||||||
02-13-19 | SMU v. Temple -4 | Top | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 6 h 48 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the Temple Owls Both team are struggling but I've seen both teams on multiple occasions and I can say without hesitation that Temple in much the better team here, at home, and at a very attractive price. SMU has lost seven of nine and have been non-competitive in their last four road games, all losses. The Owls have gone 3-4 L7, splitting four home games but find the perfect remedy for what ails in the Mustangs. |
|||||||
02-06-19 | Baylor +3 v. Texas | Top | 72-84 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Not So Upset Shocker is on the Baylor Bears Baylor is one of the surprise teams in college hoops this year despite not playing with a top player out for the season with an injury. The Bears have won six straight including their last two by a combined 56 points. They've owned the Longhorns having won six straight in the series and are an impressive 15-5 L20 as a Big 12 road dog including 4-0 this year. Texas has never broken through or bought into Shaka's pressure defense and the Horns are 5-10-1 L16 as a home fave. Baylor straight up. |

02-06-19 | Nuggets -2 v. Nets | Top | 130-135 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 49 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Denver Nuggets Love what the Brooklyn Nets have done but this is a team that is really beaten up with injuries at the moment and their recent play indicates it. Help is on the way but it won't get there tonight as Brooklyn faces a salty Denver Nugget team that was gutted by Detroit in the first game of this roadie. EVERYTHING went down for the Pistons Monday night and the Nugs figure to primed for a top effort here with their superior depth. Denver extends late for an easy win. |
|||||||
02-05-19 | Pistons -4 v. Knicks | Top | 105-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day for Tuesday is on the Detroit Pistons The Pistons are a hit and miss bunch that will be playing for it's season over the next 10 games vs. a schedule that is favorable while teams that will be their main obstacles to a playoff run like Miami (start 7-game roadie tonight) are all in tough. Detroit was lights out against the Nuggets last night and face a Knick team with all new faces and undoubtedly tanking for Zion and the two premier free agents they'll be in the market to get after the playoffs. Andre Drummond is playing great and Blake Griffin looks to be dialed in. With a decent shooting night, Motown wins comfortably. |

02-02-19 | Kentucky -3 v. Florida | Top | 65-54 | Win | 100 | 6 h 13 m | Show |
Mack Attack SEC Game of the Week is on the Kentucky Wildcats This is arguably John Calipari's best coaching job. UK has won seven straight, three of those coming on the road, and forcing turnovers on 23% of opponent possessions. The Cats are young and talented but make no mistake about out it .... this is not a vintage Kentucky team by any means which should play dividends down the road as Coach Cal won't lose many if any of these kids to the NBA. All that said, Florida is a total counterfeit and is just 2-4 as a home dog this year. The Gators have won three of the last four of the series including the last two on this floor by 22 and 13 points. Today is payback for the Cats. |
|||||||
02-01-19 | Thunder v. Heat UNDER 220 | Top | 118-102 | Push | 0 | 10 h 32 m | Show |
DMack Attack NBA Play of the Day is on the Thunder/Heat Under Oklahoma City is rolling under Paul George who really seems to have found a home in OKC. Thunder games are 9-2 to the over L11 but the Heat will dictate pace on their home floor and this is a big big number. Miami is very deliberate on offense and 7 of their L8 games have gone under the total. The last eight games in the series have ALL gone under the total and we'll go with the flow here looking for the games to fall 204-210. Play the Under. |
|||||||
01-27-19 | Jazz v. Wolves UNDER 219.5 | Top | 125-111 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is in the Jazz/Wolves Under This is the back end of a home-and-home with the Jazz prevailing 106-102 in Salt Lake City Friday night. Utah has won eight of nine and seems to flick the switch about this time each year. It comes with playing defense and that the under is 8-3 in Utah's L11. The Wolves are treading water and dealing with injuries. Utah dictates the pace and the score here and it's under the total. |
|||||||
01-27-19 | Houston -7 v. Tulsa | Top | 77-65 | Win | 100 | 3 h 17 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the Houston Cougars Houston already spanked Tulsa by 18 earlier and has won four straight in the series. The Cougars also rock the nation's No.2 FG% defense and face a team that shoots 42% from inside the arc and was held to just 30% for the game in the first meeting. The Coogs have won their last two conference roadies by margin and are destined for better things in the post season. Houston by 15+ |

01-15-19 | Marquette v. Georgetown OVER 158 | Top | 74-71 | Loss | -109 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Total of the Week is on Georgetown/Marquette Over The Thompson era is officially over with Patrick Ewing at the controls. Instead of the slogging, walk it up offense and 1980's NBA East style defense that Georgetown used to play, the Hoyas play a breakneck pace up and down game that is a lot of fun to watch. GTown split their first four Big East games that averaged 173+ ppg. Marquette can go up and down with anyone and has scoring machine Markus Howard to fill it up. Very reasonable number here, get in early as it will go up. |
|||||||
01-13-19 | Villanova -1 v. Creighton | Top | 90-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 45 m | Show |
DMack's Big East Game of the Week is on the Villanova Wildcats This game will be an excellent indicator of exactly where this young 12-4 Wildcat team is. Nova is 3-0 atop the Big East but has not won in overpowering fashion and lets remember that this team lost the Ivy's Penn on the road in non-conference play. The Blue Jays are always tough, supremely coached, but struggling since losing their big man to injury. Creighton struggles on perimeter defense allowing better than 40% from behind the arc. Nova is 7-1 L8 in the series and we're essentially asking them to win here. They will .... call it 78-70. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Gonzaga -9.5 v. San Francisco | Top | 96-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 54 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Gonzaga -9.5 Gonzaga beat up Duke early on and then went through a bad run of nagging injuries. Don't write off the Zags in The Dance! Gonzaga has walked through their last two WCC opponents winning by 40+ while allowing just 84 points. San Francisco is 14-2 with its two losses by just six points but .... the Dons have lost 14 straight in the series and haven't seen anything close to what they face here. The Zags have won seven straight on this floor, six by double-digits, and getting healthier by the day. Expect the Zags to restore order in the conference and send a message here. |
|||||||
01-12-19 | Nuggets -9.5 v. Suns | Top | 93-102 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 58 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Denver Nuggets -9.5 The Nuggets are over their temporary vapor lock and quietly have won seven of their last eight. Denver just 2-5-1 ATS in its L8 road games but if they are ever going to blow someone out, it will be tonight in Phoenix. The Nugs have completely dominated the Suns of late going 9-1 SU and 8-2 ATS. The Suns haven't been much defending their home floor going 1-5-1 in their L7 games. Don't expect much defense to be played here (series 7-2 to the over L9) and with the total a modest 217, a look at the over might also be in play. Denver 125-106.

01-09-19 | Houston -1 v. Temple | Top | 69-73 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 54 m | Show |
DMack's AAC Game of the Month is on the Houston Cougars I'm a firm believer in the eye test and I've seen the 15-0 Houston Cougars play and they are VERY VERY good. The Coogs have two true road wins, at BYU and Oklahoma State but this is their first roadie in a month and that is reflective in the line. Temple will be a solid test but the Owls are just 2-3 against the KP Top 100 and with their best win coming vs. Missouri Houston owns the second best FG% against defense in the country and will wear the home team down late and win by double-digits. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Thunder -2.5 v. Mavs | Top | 103-105 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 20 m | Show |
Mack Attack NBA Play of the Day is on the OKC Thunder Looking for the Thunder to close out 2018 on a positive note by continuing their solid play and getting a Maverick monkey off their back. Dallas has lost 7 of 8 but have covered four straight so they're losing close games. That said, that's the key here is lose close games. The Thunder have covered three of four on the road and have been a strong second half team. OKC is 0-5 ATS in their L5 visits to Big D and that crashes and burns here. |
|||||||
12-30-18 | Delaware v. Northeastern -13 | Top | 82-80 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 39 m | Show |
DMack's Sunday College Hoops Super Play is on the Northeastern Huskies Northeastern has won seven of the last eight in the series with the Blue Hens beating Delaware three times last year by a combined 39 points. The matchup is all Huskies here as Northeastern is No.7 in the country in FG% while making 39% of their threes. The Hens play no perimeter defense at all and allow almost 40% from beyond the arc. Taking into account that Delaware lost to a similar Hofstra team by 45 during the week, no hesitant to lay double-digits here. |
|||||||
12-29-18 | Rockets -2 v. Pelicans | Top | 108-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Houston Rockets This is the back end of a home/home B2B for the Pelicans but this is not the best of sports against a fresh red-hot Rocket team coming in. The Pelicans were taken to the limit last night by Dallas and still needed 48 and 17 from Anthony Davis to eke out a two-point win. Houston is 8-2 L10 tp crawl back into the Western Conference playoff hunt and has been shooting lights out since Chris Paul went down. Would have liked to have gotten the opener but the -2 is fair and manageable. |
|||||||
12-22-18 | Ohio State -6 v. UCLA | Top | 80-66 | Win | 100 | 5 h 55 m | Show |
DMack's College Hoops Revenge Spot Special is on the Ohio State Buckeyes UCLA is not going to want to think about Ohio after this game. The Bruins just got waxed by Cincinnati by 29 (a team that Ohio State has already beaten on its home court) and face a Buckeye outfit looking for revenge from an 86-73 loss in Las Vegas two years ago when the Bruins were rolling and the Bucks were rebuilding. Neutral court here at United Center in Chicago but love me some Buckeye beat down here against a VERY young Bruin outfit. |

12-21-18 | Oklahoma +2 v. Northwestern | Top | 76-69 | Win | 100 | 10 h 41 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day for Friday is on the Oklahoma Sooners It looked like it was going to be a big year for Northwestern who returned an experienced team of vets and got off to a good start but ... the Cats are just 1-3 against the Top 100 with best win against a very pedestrian Georgia Tech team. Oklahoma has won six straight against the No.26 schedule in the country and is 10-1. The Sooners are 5-1 against Top 100, top five in FG% defense, beat Northwestern by 26 last year, and are coached by one of the top five in the game in Lon Kruger. Oklahoma by 10. |

12-19-18 | Auburn +1 v. NC State | Top | 71-78 | Loss | -120 | 9 h 57 m | Show |
DMack's Auburn/NC State Super Lock is on the Auburn Tigers Both these teams are 9-1 but that's where ANY similarity between the teams ends. The Tigers have a six-point loss to Duke in Maui as the only blemish on their card while the Wolf Pack have played the one the 10 weakest schedules out of the 352 board teams with a four-point loss to a very pedestrian Wisconsin team in one of their few games vs. a team with a pulse. Auburn pressure creating turnovers 28% of the time and Bruce Pearl has a real bunch of killers here. Use both hands. |

12-06-18 | Drake -2 v. Wisc-Milwaukee | Top | 75-61 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
DMack's Thursday College Hoops Super Play is on Drake These are two pretty volatile programs looking for some stability. Drake is on it's third coach in three years and Milwaukee it's third coach in four years. On the court, the Drakesters start a senior and three juniors and they can score, 83 and 95 points the last two game. Wisc-Mil knocks down just 30% of it's treys and is in the bottom 10 in the country in creating turnovers. If Drake has an average shooting night, they run the Panthers out of the gym and there is not much the home team can do about it. |

12-03-18 | Niagara v. Pittsburgh -15.5 | Top | 71-70 | Loss | -108 | 7 h 8 m | Show |
DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the Pitt Panthers Niagra is awful and they catch the worst of matchups here in the Pitt Panthers. The Purple Eagles are knocking down just 28% of their treys and shooting just 41% from inside the arc. They face the No.15 defensive FG% team in the country here so they won't get many looks to begin with. Pitt is 7-1 against a weak schedule but DRASTICALLY improved from the team that winless in the ACC last year. Lay the wood. |
|||||||
12-02-18 | Delaware v. Columbia | Top | 87-86 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on Delaware The Blue Hens are doing some nice things and have a good young foundation. They don't turn the ball over much and they do knock down their three pointers. Columbia is terrible and the Lions are already 0-4 against D-I teams, none in the Top 200. They are No.333 in defensive FG%, a number that is tough to overcome at any level of play. |
|||||||
11-30-18 | Appalachian State v. East Carolina | Top | 81-83 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 51 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on App State App State is 2-4, 2-0 vs. D-II teams and 0-4 vs. D-I teams but .... don't let that fool you as they've played the 4th toughest schedule in the country to this point. The Mounties also have experience and are knocking down 40% of their treys. East Carolina is 3-3 but 0-2 to Top 200 schools and shooting just 27% from downtown. THat's pretty much what you need to know. |

11-27-18 | Virginia Tech -3 v. Penn State | Top | 62-63 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's NCAAB Kitchen Sink winner is on the Virginia Tech Hokies The young Nits (No.317) th are going to have to get good on the job and have no depth (No.322) to help them out. They face a formidable Hokies team that could be the best that Buzz has had since coming to Blacksburg from Marquette. VT is 5-0 and has already beaten a better Big Ten team in Purdue. Lay the Trifecta. |

11-24-18 | Dartmouth v. San Francisco -18.5 | Top | 65-84 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show |
DMack's College Basketball Play of the Day is on the San Francisco Dons The Dons are experienced and very very good. They are not a team that will beat Gonzaga but they could be on par with the St Mary's of the world. San Francisco is blowing out this kind has not shown any compunction to take the foot off the gas pedal. Lay the wood as quickly as possible as it will go higher, probably to 20 or above. |

DMack's NBA Game of the Week is on the Denver Nuggets The Nuggets are 4-0 SU and ATS and after a week look to be second best in the West. Strangely enough, the Nuggets held their first three opponents to less than 100 points and are getting it done on both side of the court. Lakers got first win last night but not the greatest of spots, B2B with multiple suspensions. The Lake show is 0-2 while allowing 133.5 per at full strength. Nuggs by double-digits. |

DMack's GSW/Houston Game Two Super Play is on the Warriors Golden State can twist the knife with a win here and there is no reason to see why they won't. The Warriors are 25-3 in the playoffs since acquiring Durant and even with Harden and CP3 having big games and Steph being a non-factor, GSW still wins in rocking chair style by 13 points. Can't see Warriors being happy going home with just a split. Golden State by eight. |

DMack's Cavs/Celts Game II Super Play is on the Over The Celts Brad Steven's tries to take one thing away each game and it's proven to have great success. Big defense and poor Lebron shooting helf the King to just 15 points while the rest of the non-Lebrons shot 33% (11-33) from the field. When you don't play defense yourself, you have to score. Look for Lebron to to have 40+ here, setting things up for Kevin Love and Kyle Korver and sending this game flying over the total. |

04-20-18 | Celtics +6 v. Bucks | Top | 92-116 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 37 m | Show |
DMack's Eastern Conference Round One Lock of the Year is on the Boston Celtics The first win in the series was a little dicey while Game Two was pretty much was pretty much never in doubt. That will happen when you have a young team with little playoff experience getting punched in the mouth early, overcoming, and settling in. At this point, Celts relieve that Kyrie and Gordon Hayward ain't coming through that door so best to get rid of the Bucks quickly and rest. Great spot for a Celtic team that is 19-5 as a dog, 27-13 ATS on the road, and 12-1 ATS off a straight up win as a dog. Boston straight up, call it 105-94. |

04-19-18 | Blazers v. Pelicans -3.5 | Top | 102-119 | Win | 100 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
DMack's Round One Western Conference Game of the Year is on the New Orleans Pelicans The eye test is extremely important to me and after watching every second of the first two games of the series I'm convinced that the Pelicans are the better team by a pretty substantial margin. It helps to have the best player on the floor in Anthony Davis but the Unibrow's supporting cast has really stepped up and played well. Rondo has been the forgotten guy in the series and he's led NOP with precision and smart play. Trade deadline pickup Mirotic is a big that gives you almost the same numbers as Boogie Cousins and Jrue Holiday is very underrated. The Pelicans had chances to fold in both games in Portland and didn't. New Orleans 114-103. |

DMack's Sunday NBA Playoff Super Play is on the Boston Celtics The Bucks have split their last six games with the Celtics but there is no reason to give them the respect that they are getting here. Milwaukee has lost its L7 first-round series and hasn't advanced since 2001. They have the Greek Freak to be sure and there are some pieces in place but remember that this is a team that fired Jas Kidd during the year and never got anything going after he was replaced. Kyrie is out but Boston played well with his out and the Celtics are well rest and focused here after their kids were able to get a blow after being pressed into actual service by injuries and had to overcome the grind of the 82 game NBA schedule. Boston is the league's best coached team with Stevens and I doubt that Boston will any problems getting by Game One or this series which are both priced cheap. |

04-09-18 | Thunder -3 v. Heat | Top | 115-93 | Win | 100 | 9 h 15 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the OKC Thunder The Thunder are off their best performance of the year, a win at Houston that snapped the Rockets 20-game home floor win streak. OKC finishes up tonight at Miami and at Memphis needing just one-win to clinch and a playoff spot and Russell Westbrook needing 34 rebounds to become the first player in NBA history to average a triple-double. It would serve OKC well to win both games and miss Houston and Golden State in the first round. You know that Russell and the team will be playing their butts off to get him the record. OKC 123-114. |

04-07-18 | Nets v. Bulls +6 | Top | 124-96 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 20 m | Show |
DMack's NBA Game of the Week is on the Chicago Bulls It's hard to NOT like the Bulls catching all these points at home against a Nets team that is favored on the road for just the third time this season. Sure, Brooklyn has an excellent road ATS mark but certainly not in this spot and many of those ATS wins came in a fast start to the season. The Nets are just 4-8 ATS vs. losing records L12 and it's pretty clear that the Nets don't cover UNLESS they are getting these kind of points. THEY ARE GIVING here. Bulls 6-3 ATS L9 in the series and a moneymaking 6-2 L8 as a home dog. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Bulls win straight up. |

DMack's NBA Game of the Week is on the New Orleans Pelicans Anthony Davis has taken New Orleans on his shoulders and the Pelicans are now knocking on the door of a first-round playoff home court. Bourbon Street has lost two straight after ten straight wins and gets the perfect patsy at a great number here in Charlotte. The Hornets have lost five of six, are 8-21 as a dog, 8-17 ATS against the West, and countless other techs to numerous to mention here. The Pelicans make it four straight in the series with a double-digit win. |

DMack's CBB Play of the Day is on the North Carolina Tar Heels The best rivalry in college basketball is also one of the most closely contested with less than five points separating the two teams over their L100+ games. The teams have split last six with UNC winning 82-78 Feb 8th with the heels grabbing 20 offensive rebounds. That was the first game of current Carolina 6-1 run, losing last on a buzzer beater to Miami in last. Williams has this team peaking at the right time and this is too many points. |

There hasn't been much defense in Motown or South Beach of late. The Pistons have allowed 131-101-124 in their L3 road games, the Over is 6-1 L7. The Heat have averaged 112 ppg. over their L6 while their L5 opponents not wearing Memphis Grizz jerseys have scored 104+.

DMack's Power Conference Game of the Year is on the Virginia Cavaliers The Virginia Cavaliers are the best defensive team in college basketball but can get it done, any way you want it. They beat Louisville by 10 at home in the first meeting on January 31st despite the Cardinals shooting 50% from the field, 100% from the line, and 44% from downtown which doesn't happen much to Virginia. The Cavs have won five straight in the series including the last two at the Yum Center by 8 and 16. Virginia wins this, call it 76-63. |

Mack Attack NBA Game of the Week is on the Lakers The Lakers have won six of nine (7-2 ATS) and have won three straight against the Hawks. The Hawks have lost three straight and five of six. While Lakers are so much better with Lonzo in the lineup, the Hawks are currently in last place in the East and battling seven others for the worst record in the NBA. The Lakers hammered the Hawks 132-113 (-3.5) on January 7th and can figure on little resistance here. |

DMack's Ohio Valley Conference Game of the Year is on the Belmont Bruins The Bruins are 14-2 in OVC play, tied with Murray State for the conference lead. One of Belmont's losses was 64-60 at home to this same Jacksonville State team. The Bruins went 7-34 from downtown in that game and that doesn't figure to happen here. Belmont is 9-3 l12 in the series and Jax State has lost three straight scoring just 64 per. Road fave prevails. |
