50* NCAAB ELITE 8 SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Michigan -4) 

I was all over the Wolverines in Thursday's complete annihilation of Texas A&M. One of the big reasons I like Michigan so much, was they just weren't themselves in their first two games and I thought a big reason for that was the long lay-off from the Big Ten Tournament being played a week earlier than it had in the past. As expected, we saw a completely different team against the Aggies. As impressive as FSU looked in their win over Gonzaga, they did catch some breaks. For one, the Bulldogs were without a key piece to their rotation in 2nd leading scorer Killian Tillie. The Seminoles also benefited from Williams and Hachimura got in early foul trouble. Let's not forget the game before against Xavier, they benefited from a big collapse by the Musketeers, who had a 12 point lead with around 10 minutes to play. Simply put, I think FSU is extremely fortunate to have made it this far and will be outclassed by Michigan. Give me the Wolverines -4! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS SLAUGHTER (Rockets -8.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Houston winning by double-digits at home against the Pelicans. New Orleans comes in having won 4 straight and I think that's keeping this number a lot lower than it should be. I have to tip my hat to the Pelicans, who just won 3 straight games at home in 3 days starting with Tuesday's win over the Mavs and concluding with Thursday's win over the Lakers. Note they played a back-to-back set and had just 1-day off prior to the 3 games in 3 days. This will be their 6th game in the last 8 days. I just don't see how this team will have enough left in the tank to go on the road against an elite team like the Rockets, who can bury you in matter of minutes if you aren't on your game, and keep it respectable. Give me Houston -8.5! 

40* NCAAB ELITE 8 NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT (Kansas St -1) 

I'll take my chances with Kansas State to come out victorious against Loyola-Chicago. The Ramblers have been this year's Cinderella story outside of No. 16 UMBC. Loyola has won 3 games in the tournament in about as dramatic a fashion as you could envision. They took out Miami and Tennessee on last second shots and barely escaped with a 1-point win over Nevada. The Ramblers are built around a strong defense that looks to frustrate opponents and really take them out of their game. That plays right into the hands of the Wildcats, who look to beat you in the exact same way. I just feel that Kansas State is the far superior team and when you look at what the Big 12 has done in this tournament, I don't understand how they aren't getting more respect. Give me the Wildcats -1! 

50* NCAAB SWEET 16 SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Texas Tech +2)

I have a lot of respect for this Purdue team, but I just think they are behind the 8-ball after losing big man Isaac Haas. He was such a difference maker inside and really forced defenses to collapse, creating wide open looks on the perimeter. They were very fortunate to get past Butler in their last game, escaping with a 76-73 win. Luckily for them Butler isn't a great defensive team, at least not on the level of what they will face tonight with Texas Tech. A lot of people forget this Red Raiders team was playing as well as anyone to start the year before the injuries started to mount up. They are finally back to full strength and aren't just a team capable of winning this game, but making the Final 4. I think their ability to lock down the Boilermakers on the defensive side of the ball will be the difference. Give me Texas Tech +2! 

40* NCAAB SWEET 16 ATS NO-BRAINER (Villanova -5)

There's no denying that West Virginia is a difficult team to prepare for with their unique style of play, especially if you haven't seen it. It's really a difference maker when you have just that 1-day off between the first and second round, which I believe explains the annihilator of Marshall in the Round of 32. While these two programs haven't played each other since 2011, Villanova is one team that I think can handle the pressure. They are an experienced bunch with outstanding guards, which you have to have to beat this Mountaineer team. West Virginia might be able to hang around early, but I see Villanova winning here by double-digits. Give me the Wildcats -5! 

40* NCAAB SWEET 16 ATS SLAUGHTER (Clemson +5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Tigers as a decently priced dog. I'm just not a believer in this Kansas team and while they have made it this far, I haven't been all that impressed. I know Azubuike was able to play 22 minutes in their last game against Seton Hall, but he's still not 100% and Seton Hall's Delgado really had his way inside, scoring 24 points and grabbing 23 rebounds. This Clemson team has been way undervalued ever since they lost Grantham for the season, but have continued to play at an extremely high level. I thought their 84-53 win over Auburn was one of the most impressive wins in the first two rounds, yet no one is talking about this team or giving them much of a chance to win this game. I really like their chances to pull off the upset, but will gladly take the points as some added insurance. Give me Clemson +5! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Pacers -3)

I'll take my chances here with the Pacers as a short home favorite against the Clippers on Friday. LA had a team meeting and responded with a 127-120 win at Milwaukee, snapping their 4-game losing streak. I'm just not buying it. The Clippers caught a massive break in that game, as Antetokounmpo hurt his ankle and played just 17 minutes. Had he not got hurt, I think the Bucks win that game, as they still managed to shoot 54.9% from the field. That's now 3 straight games where the Clippers have allowed their opponents to shoot 50% or better from the field. I also love this spot for the Pacers, who need to get something going after suffering their 3rd loss in their last 4 games in Wednesday's 92-96 defeat at New Orleans. Give me Indiana -3!

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Wizards -2.5) 

My money is on the Wizards to cash in as small home favorites on Friday. I think this is a great spot to jump on Washington, as they will be eager to get back in the win column after losing 90-98 at San Antonio, a loss that simply came down to their inability to make shots on the road against a good defense. Look for the offense to get back on track at home against a Nuggets team that hasn't been great defensively and figure to have some tired legs playing their 4th straight on the road. Denver does come in off an impressive 23-point win at Chicago, but you shouldn't read into that win at all. The Bulls are in full on tank mode and basically had their "C" squad out there for that game. The Nuggets are simply not a good road team. In their previous 4 road games they lost outright to the likes of the Mavs, Lakers and Grizzlies. Give me the Wizards -2.5! 

40* NCAAB SWEET 16 ATS KNOCKOUT (Gonzaga -6) 

I'll take my chances here with the Bulldogs. It feels like this game is flying under the radar in Thursday's Sweet 16 lineup. I'm not sure why. Either way, I see some decent value here with Gonzaga, who I think was one of the most underrated teams in the tournament. On the flip side of this, I'm not a believer in the Seminoles. Sure they took out No. 1 seed Xavier, but was it really a big surprise to see the Musketeers bow out early. Let's also not forget that it was more Xavier collapsing than it was FSU being the better team. The Musketeers blew a 12-point lead late in the 2nd half. I also think there's a massive edge here in coaching with Gonzaga's Mark Few going up against the Seminoles Leonard Hamilton. Give me the Bulldogs -6! 

50* NCAAB SWEET 16 SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Michigan -2.5) 

My money is on the Wolverines as a short favorite here against the Aggies. Michigan got off to a slow start and barely covered their opener against Montana and then needed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to escape with a 64-63 win over Houston. I think because they didn't dominate, all the buzz around this team has taken a hit and I believe it has them undervalued here. That Houston team was way better than most people realized. On the flip side of this, Texas A&M is getting all kinds of love right now after their dismantling of North Carolina (won by 21) in the Round of 32. That was impressive, but let's not forget they barely got by Providence in their first game. I also think Michigan wasn't in top form after the long layoff from the Big Ten Tournament and will be a different team when they take the court tonight. Give me the Wolverines -2.5! 

50* NBA NON-CONFERENCE GAME OF THE MONTH (Spurs -5) 

My money is on the Spurs laying a short number at home against the Wizards. Washington has played better than anyone expected without John Wall, but even with back-to-back wins are just 4-5 in their last 9. I just think this team is getting way too much respect here against a Spurs team that is finally playing up to their potential. San Antonio has won 4 straight and despite a mediocre 41-30 overall record by their standards, they are a dominant 27-8 at home this season, where they have gone 21-13-1 ATS. Give me the Spurs -5!  

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Raptors +1.5)

My money is on the Raptors to go into Cleveland and get a win over the Cavs on Wednesday. Toronto is playing exceptional basketball right now and are going to relish in the opportunity to send a message to the Cavs, who are still widely considered the favorites in the east, despite the fact that Toronto owns the best record in the conference by 5 games over the Celtics and 11.5 over Cleveland. The Cavs have won 2 straight and 3 of 4, but two of those wins came against tankers in the Bulls and Suns. The other was a 7-point win over a Bucks team that isn't playing well and they won by just 7-points despite LeBron James going off for 40 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists. For LeBron to have that kind of a game and they only won by 7 at home, speaks volumes to just how far this team has to go before the playoffs start. Keep in mind the Cavs aren't healthy right now and are still working on their chemistry as Love just returned after a 21-game absence. Give me the Raptors +1.5! 

40* NBA VEGAS LINE MISTAKE (Grizzlies +12.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Memphis as a big dog against the 76ers. The Grizzlies have been a complete mess for most of the 2nd half. A big reason for that was injuries to key players, as they just don't have a ton of depth. They are as healthy as they have been in a long time and have covered their last 2, which includes an impressive 101-94 win at home over a Nuggets team that is fighting for the playoffs. I think we get another big effort here in this one and more than anything I think the books have drastically inflated this line in favor of the 76ers. Give me the Grizzlies +12.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Thunder -3) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with OKC as a short road favorite against the Celtics on Tuesday. Boston is a great team and would be favored if they were at full strength, but that's not the case here. The Celtics are really hurting right now. They won't have Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart or Jaylen Brown for this game and this simply isn't a great team without Irving on the floor. Sure they could beat some of the mediocre and bottom feeders without Irving, but asking them to take down the Thunder is asking too much. Especially with how well OKC is playing right now. The Thunder have won 6 straight and just went on the road and snapped the Raptors 11-game winning streak. With how tight things are in the west, this game means a lot more to Oklahoma City. Give me the Thunder -3! 

40* NIT LATE NIGHT ATS KNOCKOUT (Western Kentucky +5) 

I'll take my chances here with Western Kentucky and the points on the road against USC. The Trojans were one of the bigger snubs for the NCAA Tournament and I just don't think playing in the NIT means a whole lot to this team. They certainly didn't play up to their potential in their first round game, as they needed double-overtime to escape with a win over UNC Asheville. It's a lot easier for these smaller schools to find motivation in these NIT games and this Western Kentucky team is no joke. The Hilltoppers had wins over Purdue and SMU in non-confernece play. They also played Villanova tough in a mere 8-point loss as a 22.5-point dog. It's not out of the question that WKU is the better team here, especially with USC being without the likes of Bennie Boatwright and Chimezie Metu. Give me the Hilltoppers +5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Pacers -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Pacers laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Lakers. This is a big bounce back spot for Indiana who dropped their last two. It's also a revenge game for the Pacers, who lost by 13 at LA in a game where they were horrific on offense, scoring just 86 points on 38% shooting (2 for 25 on 3-pointers). As for the Lakers, I think they are overvalued here because of their recent 6-1 run. They have since dropped their last 3 and I think the injuries are catching up to them. Brandon Ingram is still out with a hip injury and Kyle Kuzma is playing at less than 100%. Give me the Pacers -4.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Xavier -5.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Musketeers as what I feel is a great price given the circumstances. Xavier might not have deserved a No. 1 seed, but that doesn't mean this isn't one of the best teams in the country. I think all the people doubting them has them playing with a chip on their shoulder. I give FSU credit for their win over Missouri, but I wonder if the Tigers wish they wouldn't have brought back Michael Porter Jr. While he's a great player, I think it really messed with the chemistry this team had going. The Seminoles suffered a massive blow in that win, as arguably their most important player, Terance Mann, suffered a groin injury and is doubtful to play. Even with Mann I thought this FSU team was going to struggle to keep pace with the explosiveness of the Xavier offense. Now I give them little to no shot. Give me the Musketeers -5.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Kansas St -10) 

My money is on the Wildcats to not just win but blow the doors open against UMBC. The Retrievers pulled off the biggest upset in NCAA Tournament history on Friday, as they laid it on No. 1 overall seed Virginia in a 74-54 win. As impressive as that win was, it has UMBC in the biggest of all letdown spots and we often see this big double-digit seeds struggle to play well in the Round of 32 after a big upset. People just don't understand the emotional toll a win like that takes on a team. Players likely didn't sleep much on Friday and have been all over the media. Kansas State isn't an elite team and I know Dean Wade is questionable, but I don't believe it's going to matter here, as this team won't overlook the Retrievers like Virginia. Give me the Wildcats -10! 

40* NCAAB EARLY BIRD ATS SLAUGHTER (Michigan St -9) 

I'll take my chances here with the Spartans winning by double-digits over the Orange. There's no denying that Michigan State is one of the most talented and well-coached teams in the country. While the game wasn't as close as the final score would lead on, Izzo isn't going to be happy about a mere 4-point win over Bucknell in the opener. He's going to be on his team about playing a full 40 minutes. Syracuse proved a lot of people wrong getting this far, as most thought they didn't deserve to even be in the field, but due to having to play a play-in game they are now playing their 3rd game in 5 days. I just don't think there's going to be enough gas left in the tank to compete with Michigan State and this is a team that has had their struggles against the top teams in the ACC, especially away from home. Give me the Spartans -9! 

50* NCAAB ROUND OF 32 GAME OF THE YEAR (Michigan -3) 

I have the Wolverines making the Final 4 and absolutely love the value here with them laying just 3-poitns against Houston. Michigan came out extremely flat in their first game, as they let Montana get out to a 10-0 lead. The Wolverines found their stride and went on to cover in a 14-point win. The thing to keep in mind, is Michigan hadn't played in over a week with the Big Ten Tournament being played a week earlier this year. They clearly weren't in sync to start that game, but should be a full go here against the Cougars. Houston is a quality team and won't go down without a fight, I just think this Michigan team is playing as well as any team in the country right now and are a very difficult team to prepare for on just 1-day of rest. Give me the Wolverines -3! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Florida +1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Gators as a short dog against the Red Raiders on Saturday. Florida is a team that I think is flying under the radar right now. They really looked good in their first game, defeating St Bonaventure  77-62. The Gators really brought the defensive intensity, as they limited the Bonnies to just 35.4% shooting. I had high hopes for this Texas Tech team early in the year, but injuries really got them off track. They aren't playing anywhere close to their potential right now and that's evident by the fact that they are 0-7-1 ATS over their last 8 games. I just don't think the Red Raiders have the offensive fire-power to pull this one out. Give me the Gators +1.5! 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ATS SHOCKER (Charleston +9.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Cougars, who I think has an excellent shot of not only covering the spread but winning this game outright. Charleston has three big time scoring options in Riller, Brantley and Chealey, who all average at least 17 ppg. The Cougars will make Auburn work for every basket with their 3-quarter court man defense that often leads to opponents taking bad shots late in the shot clock. Charleston also rarely turns the ball over and do an outstanding job of getting to the free throw line and racking up easy points. Auburn was a great story and are a solid team, but they went just 4-5 down the stretch and really padded their record with a pretty easy non-conference schedule. Keep in mind this team desperately needed a win or at least show well in the SEC Tournament and they came out and got rolled by Alabama 81-63. I just don't trust the Tigers here. Give me the Cougars +9.5! 

50* SOUTH REGION SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Nevada -1) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wolf Pack at basically a pick'em against the Longhorns. Nevada ran into a buzz-saw in the MWC Tournament and lost by 17 to San Diego State. The fact that they still made it as an at-large tells you just how good this team was during the regular season and I think the Wolf Pack could be a major cinderella story this year. People just don't realize how much talent Nevada has on this roster, but a quick look at their non-conference schedule tells you all you need to know. The Wolf Pack knocked Rhode Island and Davidsona nd lost by just 6 at Texas Tech and by only 4 to TCU on a neutral court. Keep in mind the Red Raiders and Horned Frogs were two of the hottest teams in the country to start the year. Texas isn't a bad team, but they are limited on the offensive end and could easily shoot themselves out of this game early. As for Nevada, they got 3 big time playmakers on offense, plus they take exceptional care of the ball and can strike from long-range (12th in the country at 39.8% from deep). Give me the Wolf Pack -1! 

50* EAST REGION SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Marshall +12) 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHER (Texas A&M -3.5)

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Michigan -11)

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS MASSACRE (Blazers -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Blazers as a short home favorite against the Cavs on Thursday. Portland has been playing lights out of late and a big reason for that is the elite play of point guard Damian Lillard. The Blazers have won 10 straight and are a 9-1 ATS over this stretch. Cleveland has been up and down since making all those big trades, but are consistently overvalued because of the fans love for betting LeBron James. Until the Cavs get healthy, I don't see them playing up to the level needed to win games on the road against a team like Portland. Cleveland is still without Love and Thompson, while both Hood and Nance Jr. are listed as questionable. Give me the Blazers -4.5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE BLOWOUT (Pacers +4)

My money is on the Pacers as a home dog against the Raptors on Thursday. Toronto comes in having won 9 straight and are 16-1 in their last 17 overall. The public is going to be all over the Raptors at this price, but I think the value is with the Pacers. One of the reasons Toronto has been so good during this stretch is the schedule, as they haven't had to play a lot of top tier teams on the road. The Pacers might not be viewed as an elite team, but they are playing some of their best basketball right now. Indiana is 6-1 in their last 7 and have gone 10-3 ATS in their last 13. Pacers are also a really good team at home, where they are 23-12 on the season. Give me Indiana +4! 

50* MIDWEST REGION SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Iona +20)

My money is on the Gaels to make the Blue Devils sweat in the opening round. Iona didn't play the toughest of non-conference schedules, but they did travel to both Syracuse and Rhode Island. While they lost both games, the margin of defeat was in the single-digits. Like previous versions of the Gaels teams that we have seen, Iona can light it up from all over the floor. They have 5 games who average double-figures and just as many that can knock down the open 3-pointer. The Gaels also like to push the pace and get out in transition, which is not something Duke has defended all that well. The Blue Devils are also playing a lot more zone defense, which can be a recipe for disaster against a quality shooting team like the Gaels. As good as Duke is, 20-points is a lot for them to win by against this quality of an opponent right out of the gate. Give me Iona +20! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Rhode Island -1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Rams at basically a pick'em against the Sooners on Thursday. I think Oklahoma was fortunate just to get in and if it wasn't for all the hype around Trae Young I don't know if they would be in the field. Either way this is not the same Sooners team that caught the country by surprise back in November and December. After starting out 12-1 the Sooners have gone a mere 6-12 over their final 18 games. Young is no longer putting up video game like numbers and I just don't see Oklahoma flipping a switch and returning to their old form in the NCAA Tournament. Teams that can keep Young from going off have had all kinds of success against this team and Rhode Island has one of the deepest backcourts in the country and can really get after teams with their pressure (ranked 3rd in the nation in forcing turnovers). On the flip side they have plenty of offensive fire-power to have their way with a very poor Oklahoma defense. Give me the Rams -1.5!

50* NIT VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Utah -12.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Utes covering this big number at home against UC-Davis. This was a bit of a transition year for Utah, but they still managed to go 19-11 and were a rock solid 13-3 on their home floor. They closed out the year winning 6 of their final 8 games, which included a 5-game winning streak. 

UC-Davis is simply outclassed here and will struggle to keep this within 20-points. Note that the Aggies lost Chima Moneke, their best player, in early February. They just don't have enough fire-power without Moneke to compete against the big boys. Give me the Utes -12.5! 

40* NIT PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Lafayette +4) 

Most are going to just jump on the small number here with LSU at home, but I'll take my chances with the Ragin' Cajuns in this one. These two teams are both from Louisiana and that adds a little more to this game, especially for Lafayette, who will be extremely motivated to play here against the Tigers. This Ragin' Cajuns team is no joke. They won 27 games and can light it up on the offensive end, as they averaged 83.4 ppg on the season. I think they simply will want this one more. I'll take the points as some added insurance, but I expect them to win this one outright. Give me Lafayette +4! 

40* NIT BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (NC-Asheville +16.5) 

My money is on the Bulldogs to cover this big spread against the Trojans. This is simply a play against USC, as teams who just miss out on the NCAA Tournament typically have a hard time getting up for their NIT matchup. However, because the perception is that the Trojans are the vastly superior team, they are overvalued. Making matters even worse for USC is they might not have Chimeze Metu, which would be a massive blow given they are already without Bennie Boatwright. Look for Asheville to give the Trojans a big scare in this one and maybe even win this game outright. Give me the Bulldogs +16.5! 

40* NIT BIG MONEY ATS MASSACRE (SE Louisiana +14.5) 

My money is on the Lions to keep it close enough to cover against St. Mary's on Tuesday. In fact, I think there's a decent chance SE Louisiana wins this game outright. That's because I don't see the Gaels being all that excited about playing in the NIT, as they were one of the last 4 teams left out of the Big Dance. Keep in mind one of the strengths of St. Mary's is their defense, which only allowed 64.5 ppg. Motivation is a key component of playing good defense, so look for a few more holes in the Gaels stop unit tonight. St. Mary's last game was against BYU in their conference tourny and they lost by 13 points. The Gaels are a 8-20 ATS in their last 28 home games off a conference loss by 10 or more. They are also just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 non-conference games. Give me the Lions +14.5! 

40* NBA NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Jazz -8)

*Analysis Coming* 

50* NIT VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Hampton +20.5) 

My money is on the Pirates to give the Fighting Irish a much bigger scare than the books are expecting. The biggest thing here is I just don't see Notre Dame being excited at all about playing this game. The Irish came into the season thinking they had the talent to be a legit Final 4 contender, but injuries to star players like Bonzie Colson put those hopes to rest. Winning the NIT isn't going to make them feel any better about how this season went and I don't expect them to be around long. Take Hampton! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Pelicans -4.5) 

I'll take my chances with the Pelicans laying a short number at home against the Hornets on Tuesday. New Orleans had their 10-game losing streak snapped last Friday in a loss at home to the Wizards, but were without Anthony Davis. He returned for their next game against Utah, but as you would expect for a team that just suffered their first loss after a long winning streak, they came out flat and lost by 17. Now the Pelicans are in a major bounce back spot at home against the Hornets, who I think are getting way to much love right now. Charlotte won their last game at home against the Suns, but only won by 7 as a 12.5-point favorite and are now just 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games. Give me the Pelicans -4.5! 

40* NBA SITUATIONAL ATS NO BRAINER (Wizards -3.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wizards as a small home favorite against the Timberwolves. Minnesota comes in off a win over Golden State to snap a 3-game skid, but that was a Warriors team that was playing without Steph Curry, as well as some other key pieces. I think it has the Timberwolves getting way to much respect here against what should be an extremely motivated Wizards team that will be looking to bounce back from an awful showing in their last game at Miami. Give me Washington -3.5! 

40* NIT PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Northern Kentucky +8) 

My money is on the Norse to cash in here as a decently priced road dog against Louisville on Tuesday. The Cardinals played their way out of the NCAA Tournament by going just 4-8 over their final 12 games and simply put this is not a program that is use to not being in the field of 68. It can be extremely hard for programs like Louisville to get up for a tournament like this. I not only think the Cardinals will fail to cover the spread, but I think Northern Kentucky has a great shot at winning this game outright. The Norse are 22-8-1 ATS in their last 31 road games vs a team with a winning home record and 14-3 ATS in their last 17 non-conference games. Give me Northern Kentucky +8! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Heat +7.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Miami as a decently priced road dog against the Blazers on Monday. The Heat won't have Whiteside or Wade, but I don't see that keeping them from making a game of this against Portland. Miami is playing with a ton of confidence right now, as they are 6-2 in their last 8 and fresh off 2 impressive wins at home over the 76ers and Wizards. This Heat team has relished in this role of a road dog, as they are 18-8 ATS as a road dog this season. They are also 15-4 ATS in their last 19 as a road dog of 6.5 to 12 points. Portland has won 9 straight and are playing extremely well, but they have a big game on deck against the Cavs and will be playing just their 2nd game in the last 6 days. I think the Blazers come out a bit flat here and wouldn't be shocked if the Heat put an end to their winning streak. Give me Miami +7.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Mavs +9.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with Dallas as a near double-digit home dog against the Rockets on Sunday. I just think this is an ideal spot to go against Houston. The Rockets aren't expected to have James Harden or Ryan Anderson. I think they are also in a very underrated letdown spot after having their 17-game winning streak snapped in their last game. I think most people just assume is going to rebound after a loss when they have won so many in row, but that first game after a loss following a lengthy winning streak can be very difficult to get up for. I think not having Harden only magnifies the chance the Rockets don't play well. I know Dallas is in tank mode, but this is one where they should show up. Give me the Mavs +9.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Arizona -3) 

My money is on the Wildcats here as a short favorite against the Trojans. There's been so much negative talk around this Arizona team that I think it has them undervalued, despite the fact that they are playing some of their best basketball. I feel like all the off the court crap has actually been a positive for this team and they are using the negative talk as motivation. The Wildcats are also an elite team with two of these best players in the country. Great teams win in March and I expect a very motivated Arizona team here. USC has been playing well, but are short-handed and that should play a big factor here in what will be the Trojans 3rd game in 3 days. Give me Arizona -3! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS SLAUGHTER (Virginia -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with Virginia taking down the Tar Heels and covering the spread in Saturday's ACC title game. For whatever reason the Cavaliers continue to be underrated, which isn't easy to do for a team that's sitting No. 1 in the country. They just don't play a style of basketball that draws attention to them and the public typically struggles to get on board with teams that rely so much on their defense. Not only do I think Virginia is the better team, but I also think this is a really tough spot for North Carolina. They invested a ton in yesterday's rubber match against their biggest rivals in Duke. Beating Virginia won't bring the same satisfaction as that victory over the Blue Devils and I think they struggle to bring the energy needed here to take down this Cavaliers team. Give me Virginia -4.5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Heat -4.5) 

I cashed in on the Wizards yesterday as a short road favorite against the Pelicans. That was simply a great spot for Washington, as New Orleans was without their best player in Anthony Davis and were way overvalued after winning 10 straight. Now it's the Wizards in a tough spot, as they are playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back road set against a Miami team that will be chomping at the bit to get this game underway. The Heat are going to be out for revenge from a 113-117 overtime loss at Washington on Tuesday. It's a spot they have been excellent in, as they are 30-15 ATS over the last 2 seasons when revenging a same season loss. Give me Miami -4.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Florida -3.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Gators laying a short number against the Razorbacks. Florida had a brutal stretch where they went just 3-6 over a 9 game period, but they closed out the year with 3 straight wins. They knocked off Auburn at home 72-66, one ton the road and routed a good Alabama team 73-52 and closed things out with another big win in a 80-67 victory over Kentucky. I think the Gators are primed to carry over that success here against a pretty average Arkansas team that had to scratch out a 69-64 win yesterday over South Carolina. While the Razorbacks were in a dog fight, Florida had a bye and that rest edge should be huge in the outcome. Give me the Gators -3.5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Wizards -3.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Wizards laying a short number on the road against the Pelicans. New Orleans comes in having won 10 straight, but the most recent victory over the Kings was costly, as Anthony Davis injured his ankle and that's going to keep him out of this game. He's the one guy this team can't afford to lose, as he's one of the elite players in the game and makes everyone else around him better. Washington has a brutal schedule over the next couple of weeks and should be highly motivated to take advantage of this opportunity to get the Pelicans without their best player. Give me the Wizards -3.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Arkansas -3) 

My money is on the Razorbacks to cover this short number against the Gamecocks on Thursday. South Carolina was able to escape with a 85-84 win over Ole Miss in the opening round of the SEC Tournament yesterday. The Rebels are the worst team in the league, so that's nothing to get excited about. South Carolina is still just 4-8 SU in their last 12 games and lost both meetings against the Bulldogs during the regular season. I don't see any reason to expect anything different, especially with Arkansa playing on rest and the Gamecocks on no rest. Give me the Razorbacks -3! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS ANNIHILATOR (Suns +10) 

I'll take my chances here with the Suns catching double-digits against the Thunder on Thursday. I think this is a great spot to go against OKC off that massive game just two days ago against the Rockets. It's not easy coming off a game like that and playing a bad team like Phoenix, especially when you just recently beat that team on the road (won at Phoenix on 3/2). The Suns haven't been winning games, but the offense is playing extremely well and I think they have enough fire-power here to keep this within the number. Give me Phoenix +10! 

40* NBA BIG MONEY ATS SLAUGHTER (Heat +1) 

My money is on the Heat to cash this ticket at home against the 76ers. There's no denying that Philadelphia is a team on the rise, but the public has been all over this team and I believe their recent success has them overvalued here. Miami is no pushover and just don't get the respect they deserve. My numbers have this closer to the Heat favored by 2 and they were 1.5-point favorites at home back in late February. Give me Miami +1! 

40* NCAAB VEGAS ATS LINE MISTAKE (Tulane +5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Green Wave at least keeping it close enough to cover against Temple in Thursday's AAC Tournament play. Tulane comes in just 2-10 in their last 12 games, but they haven't played as bad as the record would suggest. Of those 10 defeats during this rough stretch, 6 came by 7 ore fewer points. The Green Wave won at Temple earlier this year by double-digits and kept it close in the rematch. I wouldn't be surprised at all of they won this game outright. Let's not overlook the Owls haven't been playing great either down the stretch, as they are just 1-4 in their last 5. Give me Tulane +5.5! 

40* NCAAB SITUATIONAL ATS MASSACRE (Mississippi St -1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Bulldogs taking out the Tigers in the SEC Tournament. Mississippi State did just lose at LSU in the regular season finale by 21-points. Needless to say they will be out for revenge from that embarrassing showing. The thing with that outcome is LSU is simply a different team on their home floor and the Bulldogs were coming off a much bigger game against Tennessee at home. The Tigers finished 11-4 at home compared to just 4-9 on the road. LSU is also just 2-11 ATS in their last 13 off a conference home win and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 off a  conference win by double-digits. Give me Mississippi State -1.5! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Texas Tech -5.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Red Raiders knocking off the Longhorns and covering this spread. Texas Tech got a huge win in their regular season finale over TCU, snapping a 4-game skid. However, I still think this team is undervalued because of the fact that they are just 1-4 in their last 5. A big reason for the poor stretch was injuries. Texas Tech got back Keenan Evans in that last game against TCU and he responded with 23 points in the 2nd half. Texas barely scraped by ISU in the opening round last night are going to be without Eric Davis Jr and possibly Mohamed Bamba. Give me the Red Raiders -5.5! 

50* NCAAB BIG 12 GAME OF THE YEAR (Kansas -2) 

My money is on the Jayhawks to cash in with an easy win over Oklahoma State. This will be the 3rd meeting between these two teams this season and surprisingly the Cowboys won both games. The most recent game in the regular-season finale, where Oklahoma State routed Kansas by 18-points. To say the Jayhawks will be motivated for revenge here is an understatement. Let's not forget that blowout loss to Oklahoma State in the finale came right after Kansas had secured the regular-season conference title. No disrespect to the Cowboys, but they are going to be outmatched here, especially after having to play yesterday in the opening round against their in-state rivals in Oklahoma. Give me the Jayhawks -2! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS MASSACRE (Cavs +3)

I'll take my chances here with the Cavs catching points in Wednesday's showdown at Denver. These two teams just played at Cleveland on Sunday, which the Nuggets were able to pull off the upset 126-117. While Denver is a better team at home, I think the revenge angle here is going to be the key factor in the Cavs not just covering but winning this game outright. Keep in mind the Nuggets are off a bad showing in a loss at Dallas last night, where they shot just 41.3% from the field. I think this is a legit flat spot for Denver in the 2nd game of a back-to-back off a 3-game road trip. Give me the Cavs +3! 

50* NCAAB BIG EAST GAME OF THE MONTH (Marquette -5.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances with the Golden Eagles covering this number against the Blue Demons. Marquette is the far superior team here. They went a respectable 9-9 in Big East play, while DePaul was a mere 4-14. I think a big reason why we are getting such a favorable number here is the fact that the Blue Demons did knock off the Golden Eagles 70-62 at home recently on 2/24. They also lost by 18 on the road at Marquette and keep in mind that last meeting was a tough spot for the Eagles, who were playing on just 2 days of rest and their 3rd game in a week span. The Blue Demons are a mere 1-8 ATS over the last 3 seasons as a neutral side underdog. Give me Marquette -5.5! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT (Notre Dame -2)

I'll gladly back the Irish here as a short favorite against Va Tech. I just feel like this line represents the Notre Dame team that struggled in ACC play, when they are a much better team right now with Bonzie Colson back in the lineup. I also think we are seeing the Hokies overvalued because of a 9-3 ATS run over their last 12 games. I'm not saying Va Tech won't make a game of this, I just don't think they are good enough defensively to win this game. Give me Notre Dame -2! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Clippers -2.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Clippers laying a short number at home against the Pelicans. New Orleans is simply overvalued right now due to the fact that they have won 8 straight, but a lot of that has to do with a favorable schedule that has had them facing off against a lot of bad teams and teams not playing well at the moment. LA on the other hand isn't getting the respect they deserve, as just about everyone wrote off this team once they traded away Blake Griffin. The Clippers have won 9 of their last 12 with their only 3 losses being road defeats at Philadelphia and Golden State and a home loss to the Rockets. I think LA wins here and should have no problem doing so by more than this small line. Give me the Clippers -2.5! 

40* NCAAB BOOKIE ATS KNOCKOUT (Syracuse -4.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Orange laying what I think is a short number here in the opening round of the ACC Tournament. Syracuse comes in off a huge 55-52 home win over Clemson to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive, but the Orange are still firmly on the bubble and need to take out the Demon Deacons. I think that win over the Tigers was huge for the morale of this Syracuse team and I look for them to blow Wake Forest out of the gym today. The Demon Deacons are not a good team. They are a mere 3-13 in their last 16 games with the only road win a mere 6-point win at Pitt, who is hands down the worst team in the conference. Wake is just 3-11 ATS this season as an underdog and 3-12 ATS in their last 15 neutral site games with a lower total in the range of 130 to 139.5. Give me the Orange -4.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Bulls +8.5) 

I like Chicago in this spot even before the news that Boston is planning on resting star point guard Kyrie Irving. The Bulls are clearly in full-on rebuilding mode, but there's still a lot of fight in this team and I expect a big effort here at home against one of the top teams in the conference. As for the Celtics, I think this is a big letdown spot off that crushing 120-123 loss at Houston on Saturday.  Boston played their hearts out in that game and had a 6-point lead with 4 minutes to play. I think they struggle to get up here for this game and while they still might win without Irving, I think Chicago keeps it close. Give me the Bulls +8.5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Cavs -6)

It's been a rough go of things for Cleveland since returning from the All-Star break. The Cavs are just 1-3 with 3 home losses to the Spurs, 76ers and Nuggets. The lone win came against the lowly Nets. I just feel like this is a great spot for the Cleveland to get back in the win column. Detroit's trade for Blake Griffin has completely back-fired. The loss of Tobias Harris doesn't get enough talk, as the Pistons don't offer near the same threat from behind the 3-point line. They ranked in the Top 5 with him and are now 20th without him. Detroit is just 2-8 in their last 10 and both wins came at home. During this stretch they have shot better than 44% from the field just twice. In comparison, the Cavs have shot 50% or better from the field in 7 of their last 10 games. I just don't think the Pistons have enough offense to keep this close on the road. Give me Cleveland -6! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Pacers +4) 

I'll take a shot here on the Pacers as a road dog against the Wizards. I think the public perception here is this is a favorable line to get Washington in what they see as a big bounce back spot after losing their last two games against two of the best teams in the league in the Warriors and Raptors. I don't see it that way. I think Washington has a tough time here playing well off those two hard fought losses. It's not easy getting up for 3 straight games, especially when that 3rd game is against the weakest of the 3 opponents in the stretch. As for the Pacers, this is a team I think is still flying a bit under the radar. They just went on the road and beat the Bucks 103-96 as a 3.5-point dog and I see a similar type of outcome here. Give me the Pacers +4! 

40* BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP ATS KNOCKOUT (Purdue -3) 

It's been a great run here for the Wolverines to get to the Big Ten Tournament title game, but my money is on Michigan struggling to finish off the job against the Boilermakers. I really like this Purdue team and they are rolling right now, having won 5 straight. A stretch in which they have been ridiculously efficient from the field. During this 5-game run the Boilermakers have shot 52.9% from the field, while averaging 82.6 ppg. They have not only played 1 fewer game to get to the title contest, but I also think it's going to be tough for Michigan to bounce back and play as well as they just did yesterday in their upset win over in-state rival Michigan State. Give me Purdue -3! 

50* NBA SHARP MONEY GAME OF THE MONTH (Suns +3)

I'll gladly take my chances here with Phoenix as a live dog against the Hawks on Sunday. I just think this is an awful spot for Atlanta, who is clearly not trying to be any good this season. The Hawks just laid everything they had into their last game at home against the Warriors and nearly pulled off the upset. I look for them to have a difficult time getting up for this game against the Suns. Phoenix isn't a great team and I wouldn't trust them on the road at this low of a price against most teams, but I think they have a big advantage here. I also think now is a great time to buy on the Suns with how well Devin Booker is playing, he's scored at least 27 in each of his last 6 games, which includes a 34, 39 and 40 point performance. Give me the Suns +3! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Celtics +8.5)

I just can't pass up on getting this many points with the Celtics on Saturday. I just think Houston is way overvalued right now due to the fact that they have won 14 straight, covering each of their first 4 games out of the break. The thing is, Boston has also been playing lights out out of the break. The Celtics have gone 4-0 with all 4 wins coming by double-digits. The way this team can defend and make things difficult for Houston should be more than enough to keep this within the number. Keep in mind that the Celtics defeated the Rockets at home earlier this season. They are also 10-2 ATS as an underdog this season, while Houston is a mere 1-8 ATS in their last 9 home games against teams from the Eastern Conference. Give me the Celtics +8.5! 

50* NCAAB ACC GAME OF THE YEAR (NC State -3)

This is every bit a play on the Wolfpack as it is a fade of the Cardinals. NC State comes in off an ugly 75-78 loss at Georgia Tech and that should have them 100% locked in for what will be their final home game of the season. On the flip side of this, Louisville is coming off about as gut-wrenching of a loss as you will see. The Cardinals had a 4-point lead with less than 1 second to play in a near upset of No. 1 Virginia and somehow lost the game 66-67. It's hard enough bouncing back from any kind of close loss, but almost impossible to rebound from a loss like that, especially with only 1 day off between contests. Give me the Wolfpack -3! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Texas Tech -6.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Red Raiders righting the ship at home against the Horned Frogs in their regular-season finale. Texas Tech is in the ultimate bounce-back spot, as they come in having lost 4 straight after opening up 10-3 in Big 12 play. The biggest thing has been the schedule during this run, as 3 of the 4 were on the road and the other was at home against red-hot Kansas. Note that the Red Raiders were competitive in all 4, as each defeat came by 10-points or less with two of the 3 by less than 3 points. TCU comes in having won 4 straight and a favorable schedule has played a big part in that, as 3 of the 4 were at home and the lone road contest was at lowly Iowa State. Let's also not forget that Tech whooped up on the Horned Frogs at TCU earlier this season 83-71 as a 3.5-point dog. I think we see another double-digit win and easy cover. Give me the Red Raiders -6.5! 

40* NCAAB SITUATIONAL ATS MASSACRE (Marquette -2)

My money is on the Golden Eagles to take care of business at home against the Bluejays. Marquette has been playing well here down the stretch. They are 4-2 in their last 6 games and 5 of those 6 contests were on the road. I think we are going to get a max effort here from the Golden Eagles on senior day against a top tier opponent. Creighton comes in off back-to-back wins, but both of those wins came at home. The Bluejays are just 5-7 SU and 4-8 ATS in road lined games this season. The other big key here is just how well Marquette matches up with the Bluejays. The Golden Eagles won 80-86 at Creighton in mid February as a 6-point dog and are now 4-1 SU and 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in the series. The Bluejays are also just 5-13 ATS in their last 18 as an underdog and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 off a home win by 10 or more. Give me Marquette -2! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Clemson +1.5)

I'll take my chances here with the Tigers at basically a pick'em on the road against the Orange this Saturday. Most will be looking to lay the short number with Syracuse at home on senior day, but I just don't like how this team is playing down the stretch. The Orange come in having lost 3 straight and are just 3-6 SU in their last 9 overall. As for Clemson, I think the Tigers continue to be undervalued because of the season-ending injury to Donte Gratham. This team has continued to play extremely well without him. The only hiccup came when starting point guard Shelton Mitchell got hurt at FSU and missed the next two games. They lost all 3 of those contests, but since Mitchell's return have won 2 straight. To top it off we got a great system in play here. Road dogs off 2 straight wins at home against an opponent off 2 straight road losses by 10 or more are 38-15 (72%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Give me Clemson +1.5!

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Hawks +13) 

I'll take my chances here with the Hawks catching a big number at home against the Warriors. If Golden State wanted to they could win here by 20+, but I don't think we get a very interested Warriors team in this contest. Atlanta simply isn't a team to get the juices flowing and that's going to make it tough for them to show up here, especially with this being the final game of 5-day east coast trip. While the Warriors will likely have a difficult time getting up for this game, we can be confident that the Hawks are going to lay it all on the line in their first meeting against the defending champs. Do I think Atlanta has a shot to win? No, but I think they give Golden State a minor scare here. Give me the Hawks +13! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Magic +2.5) 

I think this line really says it all. Orlando comes in having lost 7 straight, while the Pistons are coming off their best game in weeks, defeating the Bucks at home 110-87. What will get overlooked with that win over Milwaukee is the Bucks were in a brutal spot. They not only were playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back set and 3rd game in 4 days overall, but they were also fresh off a crushing 104-107 home loss to the Wizards. I think there's a good chance Detroit goes right back to their losing ways (mere 1-6 in previous 7 games). Give me the Magic +2.5!  

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Ohio St -2.5) 

My money is on the Buckeyes laying a short number here against the Nittany Lions. I just don't understand why this Ohio State team doesn't get more respect than they get for going 15-3 in the Big Ten with a 16-point home win over Michigan State and road win at Purdue, the consensus two best teams in the conference. I was on Penn State yesterday in their game against Northwestern, but that was more of because of how bad the Wildcats were playing. I think the Nittany Lions are going to run into a serious problem here, as this Ohio State isn't going to take this game lightly after losing both regular-season meetings. The Buckeyes get their revenge when it matters the most. Give me Ohio State -2.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Cavs -3) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Cavs laying a short number at home in the opener of Thursday's double-header on TNT. This might seem like it's too good to be true, but Cleveland has failed to cover 3 of 4 out of the break, which includes outright home losses to both the Wizards and Spurs. I'm still very high on this team after the trades and it's only a matter of time before they go on a serious run. I also think we are seeing the 76ers get some love here for their recent play. While they have lost their last 2, they had won 7 straight before that. I just think this is a tough spot off that crushing loss at Miami. It's also worth noting that the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in the series and Philadelphia is a mere 0-4-1 ATS in their lsat 5 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Give me the Cavs -3! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Louisville +4) 

I'll take my chances here with the Cardinals as a home dog against Virginia on Thursday. I just think this is going to be a tough spot for the Cavaliers to match the intensity of Louisville. Virginia has already locked up the regular-season ACC title and a loss here wouldn't keep them from a No. 1 seed. The Cardinals on the other hand are no sure thing to make the NCAA Tournament. They are currently one of the last teams in as a No. 11 seed. A win here would secure a spot and there's every reason to believe they can pull off the upset. Louisville gave the Cavaliers all they could handle in a 10-point loss at Virginia and did so by shooting 50% on the road against one of the best defenses in the country. The Cardinals are even better offensively at home, where they are 11-1 this season. Give me Louisville +4! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Boston College -1.5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Eagles at basically a pick'em at home against the Orange. While Syracuse rolled over BC 81-63 on their home floor earlier this season, the Eagles are simply a different team at home than on the road. Boston College is 13-3 at home this season compared to just 3-10 on the road. Add in the extra incentive here for the Eagles to play well on senior night in their final home game and I think we are getting some big time value. Keep in mind that Syracuse is in a bit of a letdown spot here. They just lost at Duke, which concluded a brutal 3 game stretch where they had to go at Miami, host UNC and go to Duke. They lost to the Blue Devils by 16 and are a mere 3-12 ATS in their last 15 road games off a road loss by 10 or more points. Give me the Eagles -1.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUST ATS KNOCKOUT (Georgia -1) 

I'll take my chances here with the Bulldogs at basically a pick'em at home against the Aggies. Georgia comes in playing well, as they have won 3 of their last 4. That's definitely a positive, but the real key here is where the game is being played. The Bulldogs are 11-3 at home this season and will be extra motivated here with this being their final home game of the season. Another key here is Georgia has owned Texas A&M of late. They are 5-1 in the last 6 with the lone loss coming at Texas A&M by 1-point. Aggies are also a mere 1-7 ATS this season in games with a line of +3 to -3. Give me the Bulldogs -1! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Kansas St +6.5) 

I'll gladly back the Wildcats here as a big road dog against the Horned Frogs, as I actually think there's a good chance Kansas State wins this game outright. TCU has won and covered their last 3 games, but it's far from an impressive run with two of the wins at home against Oklahoma St and Baylor, with the other a road win at ISU. K-State did lose last time out at Oklahoma, but that's won of the toughest places to play in the country. The Wildcats have only lost back-to-back games twice all season. The first being a 2-game set against West Virginia and Texas Tech. The other being Kansas and West Virginia. K-State has racked up 4 road wins already in Big 12 play. It's also worth noting that even with the recent run they are on, TCU is just 2-7 ATS in their last 9 off a SU win. Give me the Wildcats +6.5! 

40* NCAAB PUBLIC ATS MASSACRE (Miami +10)

I think the price is right here to take a shot on the Hurricanes as a double-digit dog against the Tar Heels. Miami is a young team that can sometimes come out flat/not give a lesser opponent the respect they deserve, but this team has consistently shown up against the top tier teams in the ACC and I expect nothing but their best effort here, as a win would all but secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament. As for North Carolina, I know they have won 6 straight, but I think the books have finally adjusted here. Keep in mind they were a similarly priced 10.5-point home favorite against Notre Dame just a couple weeks ago and Miami is a far superior team than the Irish right now. While it is senior night, with no shot at winning the ACC and their resume for the Tournament a sure thing, I think they have a hard time not looking ahead to this Saturday's rematch with Duke. Give me the Hurricanes +10! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (Heat +1)

My money is on the Heat as a home dog against the 76ers tonight. I just think the price here is too good to pass up with Miami. Philadelphia has become quite the public team and I think we are still seeing them overvalued despite coming off a loss. That's because the 76ers had won 7 straight prior to that. They are just 1-3 ATS in their last 4. The Heat are a sneaky good team and while they are just 1-3 in their last 4, they have covered 5 straight. Last time out they crushed Memphis at home 115-89 and are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 off a home win by 20 or more. Another key is they lost a heartbreaker to the Heat in the previous meeting 102-104 at Philadelphia on 2/14 and are a perfect 8-0 ATS over the last 2 seasons when revenging a loss of 3-points or less. Give me the Heat +1! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Magic +10) 

My money is on the Magic keeping this within double-digits against the Thunder. I just feel like this is a great spot to go against OKC, as they are coming off a massive game against the Warriors, which they lost by 32 points. Most are going to just expect this team to rebound, but I think they have a hard time getting up for this Orlando team, at least to the point where they blow them out of the arena. While the Magic have lost 5 straight overall, they are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games, with a 10-3 ATS mark in their last 13 vs a team with a winning record and 7-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Thunder are 4-10 ATS last 14 home games vs a team with a losing road record. Give me Orlando +10! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Va Tech +6) 

I'll take my chances here with the Hokies keeping this within the number at home against Duke and wouldn't be shocked if they won outright. Virginia Tech is a very talented team and are 20-9 overall (just 4 fewer wins than Duke) and own a 13-4 record on their home floor. They did just lose at home to Louisville over the weekend, but I think that was a result of them looking ahead to his game. The Blue Devils defeated Syracuse in their last contest, but now are in a major lookahead spot of their own with a revenge on the line in Saturday's upcoming rematch with UNC. Note this is also a revenge spot for the Va Tech, as they got embarrassed at Duke a couple weeks back by 18 points. Give me the Hokies +6!  

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Temple -5) 

I'll take my chances here with the Owls winning by a comfortable margin at home over the Knights.  This is a golden spot to jump on Temple. The Owls suffered a crushing 86-93 loss at Wichita State, where they blew a 56-42 halftime lead. As is often the case with teams, Temple came out flat at home against Houston and got embarrassed by the Cougars 80-59. Not only will the Owls be motivated off that ugly performance at home, but there's added incentive here, as they will be out for revenge from a 39-60 defeat at UCF back in January. Give me Temple -5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS SLAUGHTER (Michigan St -7.5)

I'll take my chances here with the Spartans laying what I think is a short number on the road against the Badgers. While Michigan State has already earned a share of the Big Ten regular season title, a loss here would have them sharing the title with Ohio State and losing out on the No. 1 seed in the Big Ten Tournament due to a loss at Ohio State in the only meeting between the two teams. Keep in mind this is a team that still needs to build their resume for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. I think we get the very best the Spartans have to offer. As for Wisconsin, yes they have been playing better of late, but they are completely outmatched here. Note that Michigan State was a 17-point home favorite in the first meeting between these two teams. Based on that line they should be around a 13.5-point favorite on a neutral site and a 10-point favorite on the road. My money is on a double-digit win for the road team. Give me the Spartans -7.5! 

40* NCAAB LATE NIGHT NO BRAINER (Oregon -4) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Ducks at home against the Wildcats. Arizona is a complete mess right now. Star point guard Alonzo Trier is no longer eligible because of a failed PED test and now future NBA lottery pick DeAndre Ayton is questionable to play after the recent wire tap that came out with head coach Sean Miller (also not likely to be around for this one) taking a payment. On top of all of this, Oregon has been playing extremely well of late. The Ducks have won 5 straight at home and likely need to win out to feel comfortable about making the NCAA Tournament. Give me Oregon -4! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Florida -2.5) 

My money is on the Gators to knock off the Tigers at home on Saturday. Florida will be in desperation mode here after losing their last 3. The simple fact that they are favored here over the No. 12 team in the country really says it all. Auburn is a comfortable 2-games ahead of the next best team for the outright SEC regular-season title and could be in line for a letdown here after a big home win over their biggest rival in Alabama. Florida is an impressive 34-14 ATS in their last 48 games when they come in having failed to cover 3 straight and are 16-8 ATS over the last 3 seasons with a line of +3 to -3. Give me the Gators -2.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER ATS KNOCKOUT (Kentucky -6)

My money is on the Wildcats making easy work of the Tigers tonight. Not much went right for Kentucky during a recent 4-game losing streak, but the Wildcats got back on track with a 81-71 win at home over Alabama and carried over that momentum with an even more impressive 87-72 win at Arkansas. I like Kentucky's chances of keeping it rolling against the Tigers, who come in having lost their last 2. The Wildcats are 12-2 SU at home this season, outscoring opponents by an average of 10.3 ppg and I think they have no problem winning here by more than that margin. Give me Kentucky -6! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS BLOWOUT (Notre Dame +1) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Fighting Irish pulling out a win on the road against the Demon Deacons. Notre Dame comes in off a close 3-point loss at home to Miami and I feel that has them in a prime bounce back spot. The Irish had won 3 of their previous 4 with the only other loss at UNC. Wake Forest comes in off a win at Pitt, but the Panthers are the worst team in the league. The Demon Deacons are also still a mere 4-12 in ACC play and have gone just 5-8 ATS in lined home games this season. Notre Dame has won and covered each of the last 3 meetings in the series and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games vs a team with a losing home record. Give me the Irish +1! 

40* NBA PUBLIC ATS SLAUGHTER (Spurs +3.5) 

My money is on the Spurs to get their revenge against Denver in the first game out of the break. San Antonio actually played at Denver in their final game before the break. It was part of 3 straight losses going into the break for the Spurs. I'm extremely confident with Popovich having his team ready to roll here against the Nuggets tonight and it will help the Spurs are as healthy as they have been in a while with Aldridge, Ginobili and Gay all expected to suit up tonight. San Antonio is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 off a loss and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 off 3 or more days of rest. Give me the Spurs +3.5! 

40* NBA BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE KNOCKOUT (Jazz -3.5) 

No team was hotter than Utah going into the break. The Jazz return to action looking to build on an 11-game winning streak and I expect them to just that. Utah is no longer just a team that relies on their defense, as the offense has some fire-power thanks in large part to the play of rookie Donovan Mitchell. Key here is that even with the recent winning streak, Utah is still sitting 10th in the Western Conference standings and one of those teams they are chasing is Portland, making this one the Jazz will be extremely motivate to get. Utah is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 vs a team with a winning record, while the Blazers are a mere 1-6-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs a team with a winning home record. Give me the Jazz -3.5! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Cavs -5.5)

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Cavs bouncing back from that surprising home loss to the Wizards last night. It was the first defeat for Cleveland since the big moves. I'm simply chalking that loss up to being a bit flat out of the break. This is a team that I believe is extremely motivated to start playing their best basketball and this Grizzlies team simply doesn't have the man-power to keep this close. This is not the same Memphis team that has been a playoff contender in the West over recent years. The Grizzlies are tied for the fewest wins in the league at 18 and went into the All-Star break having lost 7 straight. Give me the Cavs -5.5! 

40* NCAAB LATE NIGHT ATS SLAUGHTER (Oregon -3.5) 

I'll be the first to admit I wasn't high on this Ducks team coming into this year, but Dana Altman has done a tremendous job once again turning Oregon into a contender. I expect a very motivated and locked in Ducks team here at home after losing two hard fought games on the road to USC and UCLA. Oregon had won 5 of their previous 6 before the recent skid, are 5-1 in their last 6 home games and 13-3 at home overall. Arizona State comes in off a crushing home loss to Arizona after two big wins over USC and UCLA and I just don't think the Sun Devils will have enough left in the tank for this one. The Ducks won the first meeting at Arizona State 76-72 as a 7.5-point dog and the Sun Devils are a mere 3-13 ATS in their last 16 when revenging a road loss. Take Oregon! 

50* NBA VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Cavs -5)

I'll gladly take my chances here with Cleveland laying what I feel is a short number at home against the Wizards, who are still without All-Star point guard John Wall. The Cavs are just 6-20 ATS at home this season, but this was a different team going into the All-Star break following all the big moves they made. I think Cleveland is hands down the best team in the east right now and wouldn't be shocked if we saw them go on a massive run here out of the break. Wizards have played well without Wall, but that's not going to last much longer and I think they have zero chance of keeping this one close. Give me the Cavs -5! 

50* NCAAB BIG TEN GAME OF THE YEAR (Northwestern -3.5) 

My money is on the Wildcats at home with or without senior Bryant McIntosh. Northwestern comes in having lost 4 straight, so motivation will not be a problem here, but this is also senior night, so there's even more incentive to play well in front of the home fans the final time this season. As for Wisconsin, I'm not buying the recent success of the Badgers, which includes an upset win over Purdue.

That win over the Boilermakers came just after they suffered that crushing 3-point loss at Michigan State, so a letdown was not a surprise for Purdue. Then they pulled a rabbit out of their hat in an OT win at home against Minnesota, rallying from 7 down in the final 6 minutes of regulation. Their only other 2 wins in their previous 11 games were both against bottom-feeder Illinois.

There's just not a lot of incentive for Wisconsin to get up for this game and it will be even harder to focus on this contest with a massive home game against Michigan State on deck. Give me the Wildcats -3.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Kansas St -3) 

I'll gladly lay a mere 3-points at home with Kansas State against the Longhorns. I believe this Wildcats team is one of the more underrated teams in the country. While they are just 8-6 in the Big 12, all 6 of those losses came against the top 3 teams in Kansas, Texas Tech and West Virginia. They have had their way with the rest of the conference and already won on the road at Texas earlier this season. They are 12-0 at home against any team not named Kansas, Texas Tech or West Virginia. I also think we are seeing some unwarranted respect here for the Longhorns off a road win at Oklahoma. The Sooners are in a free-fall right now. Prior to that, Texas had lost 3 straight, including an ugly 16-point loss at TCU. Give me the Wildcats -3! 

40* NCAAB NO DOUBT ATS KNOCKOUT (North Carolina -4)

If this were earlier in the season I might consider taking the points with Syracuse, but not right now. It's getting down to it and teams are doing whatever it takes to build up their resume and make sure they are playing well going into tournament time. North Carolina comes in having won 5 straight and two of those were on the road against really good teams, as they knocked off NC State 96-89 and laid it on Louisville 93-76. I think this team is locked in right now and will make easy work of a good but not great Syracuse team. Keep in mind the Orange have lost 2 of their last 3 at home, including an ugly 15-point loss to Virginia. Give me the Tar Heels -4! 

40* NCAAB SITUATIONAL ATS NO BRAINER (Va Tech -4) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Hokies at home. This isn't just a play on Virginia Tech, but I also think it's a great spot to go against Clemson. The Tigers somehow didn't miss a beat after losing one of their best players in Donte Grantham and were likely due for a regression here soon. Then came the injury to guard Shelton Mitchell, who will still be out for this game because of a concussion. I just think it will be too much to overcome on the road against a very good Hokies team that is playing well and this feels like a game they need to win to secure a spot in the NCAA Tournament (final 3 games are Louisville, Duke and @ Miami). Give me Virginia Tech -4! 

40* NCAAB BIG MONEY ATS MASSACRE (Penn St -2.5) 

I'll gladly take my chances here with the Nittany Lions at basically a pick'em on their home floor tonight. Penn State has been very good at home this year, where they are 14-3 with a winning ATS record. This is a game they desperately need to win and we know we are going to get a big time effort here with this being their final home, which means senior night. Michigan is a quality team, but are not nearly as good on the road and could struggle to match Penn State's intensity after laying it all on the line in their last game at home against rival Ohio State, which was their senior night. Give me the Nittany Lions -2.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE BLOWOUT (Texas Tech -3.5) 

I'm sure that some will be calling this a trap game for the Red Raiders with their big game against Kansas on deck, but the fact of the matter is this game means just as much to Texas Tech, as they try to win the Big 12. If they win here and beat KU at home, they would then be able to lose at West Virginia and still claim the crown. While they did just lose on the road at Baylor, the Bears came into that game playing their best basketball of the season. Prior to that the Red Raiders had won 3 straight on the road, including a 66-47 win over Kansas State. I just don't think Oklahoma State is good enough to pull off the upset and certainly aren't playing well, as they come in just 2-6 over their last 8 games. Give me Texas Tech -3.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (LSU -4.5) 

I just think the price here is too good to pass up on the Tigers laying a short number at home against the Commodores. LSU has been a pleasant surprise under first year head coach Will Wade, who has been every bit as good as advertised. While the Tigers are just 15-11 overall, they 11-4 on their home floor. They come in having won 4 straight at home in SEC play over the likes of Texas A&M, Arkansas, Ole Miss and most recently Missouri. Vanderbilt comes in having won their last two, which I think is getting them some respect here, but the Commodores are winless at 0-11 away from home this season and all but one of their 7 conference losses have come by more than the number listed here. Give me the Tigers -4.5! 

40* NCAAB BLOCKBUSTER BOOKIE KNOCKOUT (Texas A&M -6.5) 

My money is on the Aggies to make easy work of the Bulldogs at home tonight. Texas A&M is going to be 100% locked in for this contest after dropping 2 straight on the road to Missouri and Arkansas. The Aggies return home, where they are 12-2 on the season, winning by an average of 13.2 ppg. A huge factor here that will get overlooked is the health of Mississippi State forward Aric Holman, who has really emerged this season. He's questionable after suffering a knee injury that forced him to leave early in their last game against Ole Miss. With just 2 days off from that game against the Rebels, I have a hard time seeing Holman play and even if he does he won't be 100%. That's a massive loss for the Bulldogs, as they don't have a ton of depth inside and this Aggies team can abuse you with their size. Give me Texas A&M -6.5! 

50* NCAAB VEGAS SHARP MONEY TOP PLAY (Duke -1.5) 

You have to give Clemson credit for how well they have played after Donte Grantham tore his ACL and was lost for the season. However, I believe that success has them way overvalued here against Duke. That's because the Tigers will now also be without starting point guard Shelton Mitchell. Not only is Mitchell a big part of the scoring, but he's also the guy that runs the show and has been playing over 30 mins a game. Even with Duke expected to be without Marvin Bagley III, I don't see the Tigers being able to hang with the Blue Devils here. Give me Duke -1.5!
