Sports Picks & Predictions

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers +11 -110

The Blazers (+11) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against the Bucks in Monday's NBA action. Portland is coming off a thrilling 123-111 win at Chicago on Saturday and while they are playing shorthanded, they haven't let that deter them. As for the Bucks, they seem to be in a bit of a funk right now. Milwaukee followed up a upset loss at New Orleans as a 6.5-point favorite with a 114-126 loss at Charlotte as a 9-point favorite. Bucks probably win here, but I look for it to be much closer than the number set by the books. Play the Blazers +11! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Lakers vs Hawks under 219 -106

The UNDER (219) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action between the Lakers and Hawks. The fact that Atlanta is considered a big OVER team with their ability to score and lack of defense has this number a little higher than it should be. Whatever the Hawks have to give defensively they are going to give it against the defending champs. As for LA, they are a great defensive team and really are relying on their defense right now, as the offense is been in a bit of a funk. LA is only averaging 102 ppg and shooting 45% from the field in their last 5 games. With this being their 7th straight road game and final game of the trip, I don't see the offense being able to turn it on here. Play the UNDER 219! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Georgia Tech +3½ -108

The Yellow Jackets (+3.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against Louisville in Monday's ACC action. Georgia Tech comes into this game off an impressive 76-65 win at home against FSU, snapping the Seminoles 5-game winning streak. The Yellow Jackets only two losses in their last 8 games are a 2-point loss at Virginia and 7-point loss at Duke. Two games they were in a great position to win late. Louisville on the other hand has lost 3 of their last 4 and I look for the struggles to continue here. Play the Yellow Jackets +3.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +9 -105

The Wizards (+9) are worth a look as a near double-digit home dog against the Nets in Sunday's NBA action. Brooklyn is just overvalued right now with their Big 3. While the Nets are a juggernaut on offense, the effort defensively has left a lot to be desired. Brooklyn has allowed 123 or more points in 6 of their last 7 games. I don't see the defensive effort being great in this one, as the Nets will have their eyes looking ahead to Tuesday's big showdown with the Clippers at home. Play the Wizards +9! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +8 -105

The Knicks (+8) are worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Clippers in Sunday's NBA action. A lot of people might be quick to back LA given they are expected to get back both Leonard and George, but I don't like this spot at all for the Clippers. LA is playing their 3rd road game in 4 days and are in a massive lookahead spot with Tuesday's big game at Brooklyn on deck. New York has also been playing well here of late going 4-3 SU and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games. Play the Knicks +8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Irvine vs Hawaii under 137½ -113

The UNDER (137.5) is worth a look in Saturday's late night action out of the Big West Conference between Hawaii and UC Irvine. These two teams played last night and to say it was an offensive struggle would be an understatement. The two combined for just 104 points. While I would expect a little better offense in the rematch, not nearly enough to eclipse this big total. Play the UNDER 137.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Irvine -2½ -104

The Anteaters (-2.5) are worth a look in Saturday's rematch with Hawaii. These two teams played Friday night and UC Irvine squeaked out a 53-51 win. The Rainbow Warriors couldn't have got a worse game out of the Anteaters and yet they still couldn't find a way to win. UC Irvine shot just 1 for 14 from and was 6 for 12 from the free throw line. I expect a much better offensive showing tonight and for the Anteaters to win this one going away. Play UC Irvine -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Cal-Irvine vs Hawaii under 137½ -110

The UNDER (137.5) is worth a look in Friday's Big West Conference action between Hawaii and UC Irvine. The Anteaters defense has been outstanding in league play, as they are allowing just 56.6 ppg on 37% shooting. They need that defense here, as they are scoring just 62.6 ppg on the road. Hawaii is a better offensive team, but do figure to struggle to hit their season mark of 74.7 ppg. On the flip side the Rainbow Warriors can more than hold their own defensively and are giving up just 64.7 ppg at home. Play the UNDER 137.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii +3½ -105

Hawaii (+3.5) is worth a look as a home dog against UC Irvine in Friday's college hoops action out of the Big West Conference. The Rainbow Warriors snapped a 4-game skid with a 76-53 blowout win on the road against Cal State Fullerton. UC Irvine is sitting on top the Big West standings at 4-0, but have played the easiest schedule to date of any team in the conference. I just feel it has the Anteaters biting off a little more than they can chew tonight as a road favorite. Play Hawaii +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers vs Hornets under 220½ -110

The UNDER (220.5) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Hornets and Pacers. This a quick rematch between these two teams, as they played at Charlotte on Wednesday. That game just barely eclipsed the total of 220.5 as Indiana won 116-106. The quick turnaround should favor the defense, as both teams will have a great idea of what the other wants to do offensively. These are also two teams that have to be running on fumes. Both are playing their 4th game in the last 6 days, which should slow the pace down some. Play the UNDER 220.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Florida International +7 -108

FIU (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit road dog against Charlotte in Friday's C-USA action on the college hardwood. Good time to buy low on the Panthers, who have lost and failed to cover each of their last 5 games. It's got them catching a way bigger number than they should be against Charlotte. A team they not only can keep it close against, but beat outright. FIU is 13-4 ATS last 17 on the road after playing 3 straight conference games as a dog and the 49ers are 13-28 ATS last 41 off an upset conference win as a dog. Play FIU +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on IUPU-Indianapolis +3 -108

IUPUI (+3) is worth a look as a small home dog against Wisconsin-Milwaukee in Friday's Horizon League action on the college hardwood. The Jaguars are going to be out for some serious revenge here after losing back-to-back games on the road to the Panthers earlier this season. Those two games couldn't have gone much worse for IUPUI, as they shot right around 40% from the field in both games and Milwaukee was over 50% in both games. Those were definitely outliers for the Panthers, as they are shooting just 42.8% as a team on the season. They are also shooting just 40% in road games this year. Play the Jaguars +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on SMU -2½ -110

SMU (-2.5) is worth a look here as a slim home favorite against Memphis in Thursday's AAC action on the college hardwood. These two teams played Tuesday at Memphis and the Tigers squeaked out a 76-72 win. That matchup was pretty even across the board, which is a good sign that the Mustangs are the smart play here as they should be the more motivated team and now they have the home court edge. Play SMU -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -4 -105

The Jazz (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Mavs. I think the fact that Utah is playing on no rest after a game against the Knicks last night is playing into a very favorable number here. The Jazz are quietly playing some of the best basketball of any team in the league right now. Utah is a perfect 9-0 SU and 9-0 ATS over their last 9 games. No reason to not ride this thing, especially at this price. Mavs are also a tired team playing their 7th game in the last 11 days. Play the Jazz -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Celtics -2½ -110

The Celtics (-2.5) are worth a look here as a short road favorite against the Spurs. Boston is surging into this contest off back-to-back blowout wins over the Cavs (141-103) and the Bulls (119-103). They are really clicking on the offensive side of the ball and should be able to keep it going against a Spurs defense that is giving up 112 ppg over their last 4. Spurs are also not playing the best ball here of late. Play the Celtics -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +2½ -105

The Pistons (+2.5) are worth a look here as a small road dog against the Cavs in Wednesday's NBA action. Most are going to be quick to lay the short number here with Cleveland at home against a Detroit team that is just 4-13, but I really don't like the spot here at at all for the Cavs, who just put everything they had into Monday's home game against the Lakers. I also like the fact that the Pistons are coming into this game with some momentum off a 119-014 upset win against the 76ers. Play Detroit +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pepperdine +6½ -110

Pepperdine (+6.5) is worth a look as a home dog against the Cougars in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the West Coast Conference. These two teams just played each other at BYU on Saturday and while the Cougars won 65-54, there were a lot of positives to take away from that game for Pepperdine. The biggest being their defense holding BYU to just 65 on their home floor. I look for the Waves to be the more motivated side here and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they pulled off the upset in the rematch. Play Pepperdine +6.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on SE Missouri State vs Tenn-Martin under 143½ -110

The UNDER (143.5) is worth a look here in Tuesday's college hoops action out of the Ohio Valley between Tennessee Martin and SE Missouri State. UNDER has been a strong bet in Redhawks' games of late, cashing in 7 of their last 9. Not a big surprise given SE Missouri St doesn't score a ton at just 65.3 ppg in conference play. Tenn-Martin is even worse at 64.1 ppg in OVC action. Just not enough offensive fire-power for a total in the 140's. Play the UNDER 143.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Oklahoma +5 -115

The Sooners (+5) are worth a look as a road dog against the Longhorns in Tuesday's Big 12 matchup. Oklahoma comes into this game rolling off 3 straight wins. The most recent being a convincing 75-68 win over Kansas at home. Texas was able to bounce back from their first loss in Big 12 play with a 82-67 win at home over Kansas State, but the injuries are starting to pile up for the Longhorns. Forwards Greg Brown, Brock Cunningham and Kai Jones are all questionable to play. Either way I like the Sooners to keep this close and wouldn't be surprised at all if they won outright. Play Oklahoma +5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -5½ -106

The Blazers (-5.5) are worth a look at home against the Thunder in Monday's NBA action. Portland is playing without 3 of their best players in CJ McCollum, Jusuf Nurkic and Zach Collins, but they still got one of the best players in the league in Damian Lillard, who is coming off a 39-point game on Sunday against the Knicks. Lillard will be the best player on the floor tonight and I look for the Blazers to make easy work of a struggling Thunder team. OKC has lost 3 straight and are also on no rest after playing their second straight game against the Clippers on Sunday. This will also be OKC's 4th straight on the road. Play the Blazers -5.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Blazers under 223 -105

The UNDER (223) is worth a look here in Monday's NBA action between the Thunder and the Blazers. I just don't see the game being played at the pace needed to eclipse this number. Both teams will be playing on no rest. OKC was at the Clippers on Sunday while the Blazers hosted the Knicks. Thunder already aren't shooting it well and Portland is a 1 man show right now with Lillard, as they continue to be without McCollum, Nurkic and Collins. Play the UNDER 223! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Virginia -6 -110

Virginia (-6) is worth a look at home against Syracuse in Monday's college hoops action. The Cavaliers have been absolutely rolling in ACC play. Virginia is a perfect 6-0 in conference action and while they only beat Georgia Tech by 2 on Saturday, that was the first time they won by fewer than 9 points inside the ACC. I actually think that close call will have them that much more locked in for this game against the Orange. Syracuse is coming off a couple of impressive wins over Miami and Virginia Tech, but both of those were at home. Also a much harder spot here for the Orange playing on the road with just 1 day of rest. Play the Cavaliers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Loyola-Chicago vs Bradley over 129 -110

The OVER (129) is worth a look in Sunday's Missouri Valley action on the college hardwood which has Bradley hosting Loyola-Chicago. While the UNDER has cashed in each of the Ramblers last 4 games, 2 of their last 3 have seen at least 129 points. Loyola-Chicago has also scored 72 or more in each of their last 3. Bradley is scoring 81.5 ppg at home this season and has seen the OVER cash in 4 of their last 5 and 8 of 11 overall. OVER is 18-9 in the Braves last 27 conference games and 13-4 in Loyola's last 17 on the road after a cover as a double-digit favorite. Play the OVER 129! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets vs Suns over 218½ -106

The OVER (218.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action that has the Suns hosting the Nuggets. These two played each other last night and easily went over the total of 219.5, as they combined for 156 points. Both teams shot over 50% from the field. The books simply haven't adjusted enough here as these two should reash 220 with no problem, as I don't see either team being all that motivated defensively on no rest. Play the OVER 218.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota -6 -108

The Gophers (-6) are worth a look as a home favorite against Maryland in Saturday's Big Ten action. Some might think this is a bad spot to back Minnesota coming off that big upset win at home over Michigan, but I see no letdown from the Gophers given they are just 4-4 in Big Ten play. Minnesota is a perfect 4-0 at home in Big Ten Play and have not lost at Williams Arena this season. Maryland is just 4-7 since starting the season 4-0 and are 2-6 in Big Ten play. Play the Gophers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Creighton -7 -108

Creighton (-7) is worth a look in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big East. The Bluejays are going to be extremely motivated to take the floor in this one as they come in having lost 2 straight after starting out 6-1 in Big East play. UConn is simply going to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Huskies are a good team when healthy, but are without their best player in James Bouknight. UConn simply doesn't have the offensive fire-power to keep pace in this one. Play Creighton -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +4 -105

The Knicks (+4) are worth a look here as a small road dog against Sacramento in Friday's NBA action. New York comes in having won and covered 3 straight games as a dog, but even with this success the betting public has a hard time backing this team because of how bad they are perceived to be. I'll stick with the Knicks, especially with what I've seen out of Sacramento of late. The Kings are 2-9 SU in their last 11 and have failed to cover 9 of their last 10. Look for New York's defense to be the difference in this one. Play New York +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Suns -1 -105

The Suns (-1) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Nuggets in Friday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Phoenix at home. Denver has been overvalued a lot early on this season and this feels like another one of those games where they are getting too much respect. Nuggets are just 5-9 ATS in their 14 games. Suns are 8-5 SU and 8-5 ATS, but have only played 4 of their 13 games so far at home. Phoenix is 3-1 SU and 3-1 ATS at home. Play the Suns -1! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Troy State vs Coastal Carolina under 138 -110

The UNDER (138) is worth a look in Friday's Sun Belt action that has Coastal Carolina hosting Troy. Both of these teams have been strong UNDER teams in conference play. The UNDER is 3-1 in Troy's 4 Sun Belt games and 4-1 in the Chanticleers 5 conference games. Both these teams are really stingy defensively, as Troy is giving up just 65.7 ppg and Coastal Carolina is allowing 67.3 ppg. Also worth noting that the Trojans offense has been dreadful on the road, as they are average just 56.8 ppg away from home. Play the UNDER 138! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Santa Clara +3 -110

Santa Clara (+3) is worth a look here as a small home dog against the Dons in Thursday's West Coast action on the college hardwood. Tough spot here for San Francisco coming off a hard fought 63-72 loss at home to BYU and another big game on deck at home against St. Mary's on Saturday. Really easy for the Dons to not show up with their best effort here on the road against a talented Broncos team. San Francisco is 5-14 ATS last 19 on the road off a home game and 0-6 ATS last 6 off a conference home loss. Play Santa Clara +3! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Bucks -1 -100

The Bucks (-1) are worth a look here at basically a pick'em on their home floor against the Lakers. LA is a great team and the public will definitely be on them here off a loss in their last game, but this is just too good a price to pass up with Milwaukee at home. As much as the Lakers will want to get back in the win column, there's no doubt this game means so much more to the Bucks. Lakers have not performed well on the road vs Eastern Conference teams, as they are just 4-13 ATS the last 2 seasons. Play Milwaukee -1! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Samford +1½ -110

The Bulldogs (+1.5) are worth a look here as a small home dog against Chattanooga in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Southern Conference. Samford snapped their 4-game losing streak with a 82-78 win at home against Western Carolina and Look for them to stay hot against the Mocs, who come in having lost 4 of their last 6. It's important to note that Samford is playing their 4th straight at home and are 10-2 ATS last 3 seasons after playing their previous 2 games at home. Play the Bulldogs +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +6 -101

The Pistons (+6) are worth a look here as a decently priced road dog against the Hawks. Detroit is just not a team the betting public likes to play and it has them showing value right now. Pistons are a strong 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games. As for the Hawks, they are a team that's way overvalued right now. Atlanta is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games. This team shouldn't be laying this kind of number against any team right now. Play the Pistons +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St Bonaventure -2½ -110

St. Bonaventure (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against VCU in Wednesday's college hoops action out of the Atlantic 10. The Bonnies are one of the best teams in the A-10 this year and simply put should be a bigger favorite in this spot. VCU is a solid team, but are getting a little too much love having won 8 of their last 9. They have failed to cover each of their last 3 games. Also, home favorites (Bonnies) that have won and covered 3 straight as a favorite of 7 or more and are playing a team that won their last game but failed to cover as a favorite are 30-8 (79%) ATS since 1997. Play St. Bonaventure -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nuggets -9½ -105

The Nuggets (-9.5) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against Oklahoma City in Tuesday's NBA action. For starters, the books are begging you take to take the Thunder and the public is taking the bait. Denver has played better of late, but not to where they should be laying double-digits. That tells me the books really like the Nuggets here. Denver has owned OKC of late, they are 6-1 SU and 6-1 ATS against the Thunder over the last 3 seasons. Play the Nuggets -9.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Ball State vs Miami-OH under 138 -110

The UNDER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's MACtion on the college hardwood between Miami (OH) and Ball State. The RedHawks are a great UNDER team. They aren't very good offensively, can hold their own defensively and like to play at a slow pace (310th in adjusted tempo). Ball State is more a fast-paced team, but with this game on the road I look for Miami to be able to control the tempo in this one. UNDER is 27-12 in the RedHawks last 39 conference games, 33-13 in their last 46 as a dog and 11-2 when off a road loss. Play the UNDER 138! 

20* SHARP PLAY on USC vs Oregon State over 138 -105

The OVER (138) is worth a look in Tuesday's Pac-12 matchup between USC and Oregon State. The Trojans are clicking offensively right now. After putting up 95 points on Washington last Thursday, they hung 85 on Washington State Saturday. Expect more of the same against the Beavers. In Oregon State's last 3 games they have allowed 79, 98 and 81 points. No way this total should be less than 140 and I think they could easily push 150 here. Give me the OVER 138! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Suns vs Grizzlies over 223 +103

The OVER (223) is worth a look in Monday's NBA action that has the Grizzlies hosting the Suns. Phoenix has found themselves in quite a few high-scoring games here of late. Over has cashed in 4 of the Suns last 5 games. During this stretch Phoenix is scoring 113.4 ppg and giving up 116.4 ppg. Memphis' offensive numbers haven't been great, but they did just get back Ja Morant, so better numbers are to be expected with him on the floor. Play the OVER 223! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -8 -105

The Hawks (-8) are worth a look here as a big home favorite against the Timberwolves in Monday's NBA action. Minnesota just can't catch a break as they are once again without their best player in Karl-Anthony Towns, who is out with Covid. They are also going to be without Ricky Rubio and Juancho Hernangomez. Whenever Towns has been out this team has really struggled to just be competitive. As bad as Atlanta has been playing this is a team they can make easy work of at home and they got no choice but to show up with how much they need to get this thing turned around. Play the Hawks -8! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Magic vs Knicks under 208 -110

The UNDER (208) is worth a look in Monday's early NBA action between the Knicks and Magic. No surprise that the UNDER has cashed a lot for both of these teams of late, as they have really struggled to score. The UNDER is 6-2-1 in Orlando's last 9 games and a sizzling 9-2 in New York's last 11. Hard to believe either team will be able to get into a great offensive rhythm with the unusual start time. Also love that the Knicks are coming in off an upset win over Boston, as the UNDER has cashed in 13 of NY's last 16 off an upset win as a dog. Play the UNDER 208! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Mavs -7 -105

The Mavs (-7) are worth a look here as a relatively big home favorite against the Bulls. This is a big time play against Chicago in a very tough situational spot. Not only is this the final game of a long 6-game road trip out west, but the Bulls are coming off a brutal 2nd half collapse in a 125-127 OT loss at OKC on Friday. I just don't think Chicago will be up for the challenge here. Play the Mavs -7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield +2 -109

CS Bakersfield (+2) is worth a look here as a small dog against Hawaii in Saturday's rematch. These two teams played last night and the Roadrunners took home the win 60-55. That's now 4 straight wins for Bakersfield. Rainbow Warriors couldn't get anything going offensively last night and I don't expect it to be any better in the second go around. If anything I think the Roadrunners win even easier in the rematch. Play CS Bakersfield +2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hawaii -1½ -110

The Rainbow Warriors (-1.5) are worth a look as a slim home favorite against CS-Bakersfield in Friday's late night action on the college hardwood. Hawaii has only played 4 games and while the first two were cupcakes, they did show well in their two games at UC-Riverside. They won the first matchup 88-83 as a 6-point dog and while they lost the rematch they covered as a 5-point dog in a 68-70 loss. Big home court edge for Hawaii and I fully expect them to take this one. Play the Rainbow Warriors -1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on CS Bakersfield vs Hawaii under 135½ -109

The UNDER (135.5) is worth a look in Friday's late night Big West action between Hawaii and CS-Bakersfield. Hawaii comes in averaging 82 ppg, but that's a misleading number given their first two games against far inferior opponents. They will find it much harder to score here against CS-Bakersfield, who is allowing just 61.1 ppg. At the same time, I don't see the Roadrunners putting up a big number on the road here against a decent Hawaii defense. Play the UNDER 135.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Kings under 230½ +101

The UNDER (230.5) is worth a look in Friday's NBA action between the Clippers and Kings. I believe we are seeing an inflated number here due to the fact that the OVER has cashed in 5 of Sacramento's last 6 games. I just don't think we are going to see a ton of points in this matchup. LA was much better defensively in their last game against the Pelicans and I could see them making it really hard on the Kings offense in this one. Play the UNDER 230.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6½ -105

The Clippers (-6.5) are worth a look as a road favorite against the Kings in Friday's NBA action. While LA has failed to cover each of their last 3 games, I think that's playing into the favorable number here. The biggest thing is the Kings are not playing well at all. Sacramento is just 2-6 SU in their last 8 games and have gone a dreadful 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games and that's with them playing their last 5 games at home. Play the Clippers -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Jazz -6 -105

The Jazz (-6) are worth a look as a relatively cheap home favorite against the Hawks. Atlanta has really fallen off since their hot start and while they come in off a win at home against the 76ers, that was a depleted Philadelphia team they took down. Not to mention they shot just 37.4% from the field in the win, marking their 3rd straight game where they shot worse than 38%. Utah on the other hand is rolling. The Jazz have have won and covered 3 straight and are getting it done on both sides of the ball. Play Utah -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Clippers -6 -105

The Clippers (-6) are worth a look here as a home favorite against the Pelicans in Wednesday's NBA action. While LA has been hit or miss here of late, I'm confident the Clippers will show up with a big effort here in a game that will be televised on ESPN. You also have to look at how New Orleans is playing right now and it's not good. Pelicans have lost 3 straight and are a disappointing 4-5 overall. We know they will be without starting point guard Lonzo Ball and there's a chance they could be without both starters in the backcourt, as shooting guard Eric Bledsoe is questionable to play. Play the Clippers -6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Knicks +5 -105

The Knicks (+5) are worth a look as a home dog against the Nets in Wednesday's NBA action. As difficult as it may be to back New York after their last 3 games, where they got absolutely destroyed and failed to break 90 points in all 3 games, I'm confident the Knicks will be ready for this game against one of their biggest rivals. As for Brooklyn they have not been playing great. While they come in off a win over the Nuggets they will be on no rest and still without 2 of their best players in Kyrie Irving and Spencer Dinwiddie. Play the Knicks +5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Thunder +2 -103

The Thunder (+2) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Spurs in Tuesday's NBA action. This is just too good a price to pass up with Oklahoma City right now. The Thunder have won and covered each of their last 3 games, winning all 3 outright as a dog. Spurs are also in a tough spot here. San Antonio is going to be without their best player in DeRozan and are also playing their 5th and final game of a 5-game road trip. Play the Thunder +2!

20* SHARP PLAY on Spurs vs Thunder over 216 -105

The OVER (216) is worth a look in Tuesday's NBA action between the Spurs and Thunder. I believe we are catching value with the number here due to the fact that San Antonio comes in off a dreadfully low-scoring game against the Timberwolves, which Minnesota won 96-88. Big thing to note is that was a rematch from the day before and the two had combined for 247 points in the first meeting. OKC just put up 129 in their last game at Brooklyn and likely aren't going to be playing much defense in a big flat spot as they just finished up a 5-game road trip. OVER is 13-1 in the Spurs last 14 road game with a line of +3 to -3. Play the OVER 216! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-FL -2 -105

The Hurricanes (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against Boston College in Tuesday's ACC action on the college hardwood. Miami comes in at 5-5, but injuries really hurt them early on. The Hurricanes have been playing much better of late, despite a 1-3 record in their last 4 games. The 3 losses in this stretch were a 2-point setback at Va Tech, a 1-point loss at home to Clemson and a 2-point loss at home to UNC. They snapped the losing streak on Saturday with a 64-59 upset win at NC State. Look for Miami to stay hot against a BC team that just can't figure out how to win games. The Eagles are just 2-9 and 0-5 in ACC play. Play the Hurricanes -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wisconsin vs Michigan over 135 -105

The OVER (135) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big Ten showdown between Wisconsin and Michigan. While these are two of the better defensive teams in the Big Ten, they are also two of the best offensive teams. Both come in ranked in the top 5 of the conference in both offensive efficiency and effective FG%. OVER is a perfect 6-0 in Wisconsin's last 6 games vs elite level teams like Michigan who are shooting 45% or better from the field while also holding opponents to 42% or worse. Play the OVER 135! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4 -100

The Kings (+4) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Pacers. Most will look to fade Sacramento here as they are just 1-5 SU in their last 6 and have failed to cover 5 straight. Thing is the Kings are catching the Pacers at the right time. Indiana has benefited a ton from playing 7 of their first 9 games at home. Look for them to come out a bit flat here in their first game on a West Coast trip. Play the Kings +4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hornets -4 -105

The Hornets (-4) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Knicks. While these two teams come into this game with the same 5-5 record, but they are headed in different directions. Charlotte has won and covered 3 straight and are averaging 111.0 ppg in this stretch. The Knicks have lost and failed to cover each of their last 2 and scored a mere 89 points in both games. I'll take the better team at this price all day long. Play the Hornets -4! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Utah +3½ -110

The Utes (+3.5) are worth a look as small home dog against the Buffaloes. The books are begging you to take Colorado here. Utah comes in having lost 3 straight and are just 1-3 in Pac-12 play. Thing is two of those losses came on the road to UCLA and USC. The other was a mere 6-point home loss to Oregon. Utah is going to be the much more motivated team here at home in desperate need of a win, while the Buffs could be in for a bit of a letdown off their big win over the Ducks. Play Utah +3.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nebraska +7 -108

Nebraska (+7) is worth a look here as a near double-digit home dog against the Hoosiers. It's been a rough go for the Cornhuskers in Big Ten play. Nebraska is winless in conference play at 0-4, but they did just cover at home against Michigan State and while they didn't cover in losses at Wisconsin and at home against Michigan, they were right there in both games. They lost by 14 as a 13.5-point dog at Wisconsin and by just 11 at home to Michigan as a 7.5-point dog. This is also a tough spot for Indiana playing their second straight on the road and playing on just two days of rest after that grueling double-overtime loss at Wisconsin. Play Nebraska +7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Bulls +11½ -101

The Bulls (+11.5) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Clippers in Sunday's NBA action. The books just don't want to give this Chicago team any kind of respect and it's turned them into a covering machine. The Bulls have covered the number in each of their last 4 games and 7 of their last 8 overall. This team is clearly playing with a chip on their shoulder. As for the Clippers, they have kind of just been going through the motions early on and I could see them struggling to get up for this one. Play the Bulls +11.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7½ -105

The Pistons (+7.5) are worth a look here as a pretty sizeable home dog against the Jazz. Detroit just pulled off a big upset win at home in their last game, beating the Suns 110-105 as a 8-point dog. It was the Pistons 4th cover in their last 5 games. Utah comes in off a huge upset win at Milwaukee, but with the Jazz on just 1 day of rest and playing their 5th straight on the road, I look for them to struggle to muster up the energy needed to turn this into a blowout. Look for Detroit to keep it close and maybe pull off the upset. Play the Pistons +7.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pacers -2½ -109

The Pacers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Suns in Saturday's NBA action. For whatever reason the books just don't want to give this Indiana team the respect they deserve. Pacers are 6-2 SU and 6-2 ATS in their first 8 games They couldn't be catching Phoenix in a better spot, as the Suns will be playing their second straight on the road on no rest after last night's OT loss at Detroit. While Phoenix will be running on fumes, the Pacers are playing on two days rest and have had to do almost no traveling early, as this is their 6th home game in their last 7 contests. Play Indiana -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Miami-OH -7 -108

The RedHawks (-7) should have no problem covering as a decently priced home favorite against Northern Illinois in Saturday's college hoops action out of the MAC. Big get right game for Miami (OH) coming off back-to-back losses and the Huskies are just the team for them to get right against. Northern Illinois is a mere 1-8 on the season and that lone win came against an awful Chicago State team that is ranked No. 356 in KenPom. Play the RedHawks -7! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Richmond -5 -108

The Spiders (-5) are worth a look as a short road favorite against George Mason in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the A-10. Richmond has yet to string together back-to-back wins in conference play and you can bet that's going to be on their minds, as they look to build off Wednesday's big win at home over Rhode Island. The Patriots are just not on the same level as the Spiders and I really think they will struggle to even make a game of it. Richmond can play their "C" game and still beat George Mason by 6 or more. Play the Spiders -5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Rutgers -2½ -108

Rutgers (-2.5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against Ohio State in Saturday's early college hoops action out of the Big Ten. This is just too good a price to pass up with the Scarlet Knights at home. Even more so when you factor in how motivated Rutgers is going to be for this game coming off back-to-back losses dropping them to just 3-3 in Big Ten play after they started out 3-1. Ohio State is better than expected, but are just 2-3 in conference play with a 0-3 mark on the road. Buckeyes just aren't built to win away from home in this league, especially against a top tier team like the Scarlet Knights. Play Rutgers -2.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rice vs UTEP over 140½ -105

The OVER (140.5) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Rice and UTEP. This is a really low total with the way these two teams can light up the scoreboard. Rice is averaging 82.3 ppg and while UTEP is scoring 75.5 ppg on the season, they are putting up 87.7 ppg at home. We just need both teams to hit 70 and this thing is going to cash. Play the OVER 140.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Hornets +6 -100

Charlotte (+6) is worth a look as a road dog against the Pelicans in Friday's NBA action. The Hornets will be riding a wave of momentum into this game, as they snapped a 3-game skid with a convincing 102-94 win at Atlanta as a 5.5-point dog. On the flip side, New Orleans is coming off back-to-back losses and have really been overvalued by the books early on. The Pelicans are just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games. They are also just 1-3 ATS at home this season. Play the Hornets +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +7 -100

The Pistons (+7) are worth a look as a home dog against the Suns in Friday's NBA action. Really look for Phoenix to struggle to get up for this game against a Detroit team that is just 1-7 on the season. Making it even harder to get up for the Pistons is the fact that this is the first of a back-to-back for the Suns with a much bigger game on deck against a red-hot Pacers team. Pistons are getting healthy for this one with Rose and Josh Jackson expected back. They might not have what it takes to win, but I fully expect them to give Phoenix a run for their money. Play Detroit +7! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Florida Atlantic vs Old Dominion over 139 -105

The OVER (139) is worth a look in Friday's C-USA matchup between Old Dominion and Florida Atlantic. This is a really low total for a game involving the Owls, who come in averaging a healthy 84.9 ppg. While not quite as potent, the Monarchs average a solid 71.0 ppg and that jumps up to 76.3 ppg at home. Last year when these two teams met up at ODU, the two combined for 165 points with both teams hitting 80 points. Play the OVER 139! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -10 -105

The Blazers (-10) are worth a look as a double-digit home favorite against the Timberwolves in Thursday's NBA action. Good spot here to back Portland. Blazers come in having lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 4. The most recent being a 108-111 loss at home to the Bulls as a 9.5-point favorite. We should get a max effort here from Portland and that should be more than enough for them to make easy work of an awful Timberwolves team that continues to struggle to be competitive without Karl Anthony-Towns. Play the Blazers -10! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2 -106

The 76ers (-2) are worth a look as a small road favorite against the Nets on Thursday. Philadelphia will be playing in the second game of a back-to-back, but that's not as big of a setback as Brooklyn playing without Kevin Durant. 76ers are also 7-1 to start the season and have covered 4 of their last 5. This line should be more. Play Philadelphia -2! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Maryland +5 -110

Maryland (+5) is worth a look here as a decently priced home dog against Iowa in Thursday's Big Ten matchup. As good as the Hawkeyes have been, winning on the road in this conference is no easy task. It's not an ideal spot for Iowa coming off a huge road win against a ranked Rutgers team. Hawkeyes could also be without starter Connor McCaffery. While McCaffery doesn't score a lot, he does all the dirty work and is by far the Hawks best post passer. Look for the Terps to give Iowa all they can handle in this one. Play Maryland +5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Thunder vs Pelicans over 213½ +104

The OVER (213.5) is worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has the Pelicans hosting the Thunder. After a slow start New Orleans has got their offense going in their last 3 games, scoring 113 at OKC, 120 at home against the Raptors and 116 at home against the Pacers. Thunder have allowed 110 or more in 4 of their last 5. With the Pelicans defense not figuring to be as stingy coming off an OT game on Monday, this one should easily eclipse the mark. Play the OVER 213.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Wizards +6 -102

The Wizards (+6) are worth a look as a road dog against the 76ers in Wednesday's NBA action. Philadelphia comes in having won and covered each of their last 4 games, but this is a really bad spot for the 76ers in the front end of a back-to-back with a much better team on deck in the Nets. Washington has also been playing much better of late. Wizards have won their last two after starting out 0-5 and both of those came on the road, including a 123-122 win at Brooklyn as a 7-point dog. Play Washington +6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Missouri vs Mississippi State over 134½ -110

The OVER (134.5) is worth a look in Tuesday's college hoops matchup between SEC foes Missouri and Mississippi State. While the Bulldogs like to play slow, the Tigers want to push the pace and I expect Missouri to be able to dictate the tempo here with Mississippi State likely a bit fatigued off their double-overtime game against Kentucky on Saturday. Expect a bit more of a shootout than we normally would see from these two teams. Play the OVER 134.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Connecticut vs Marquette under 139 -110

The UNDER (139) is worth a look in Tuesday's Big East showdown that has Connecticut visiting Marquette. This is just too big a number with what figures to be a very slow and methodical pace. The Huskies come in ranked 310th in adjusted tempo and in their two Big East games so far have held a lethal Creighton team to 66 in regulation and limited DePaul to 61. I don't see either team getting to 70 in this one. Play the UNDER 139! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Jazz vs Nets under 231½ -104

The UNDER (231.5) is worth a look here in Tuesday's NBA matchup between the Jazz and Nets. Brooklyn is potentially going to be without Kevin Durant. Without him on the floor it's going to be really hard for these two teams to eclipse a number like this. Both of these teams are strong defensively as well. Utah has held opponents to 43.4% shooting from the field and Brooklyn is even better, holding teams to 42.5%. Play the UNDER 231.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -2 -102

The Nets (-2) are worth a look at home against the Jazz. There's a chance Brooklyn will be without KD, as he's potentially facing a 7-day quarantine for Covid exposure, but even without him I like the Nets to win and cover against Utah. The Nets are going to come out fired up after losing 4 of their last 5 and are catching the Jazz in a tough spot playing their second road game in 3 days after playing at SA on Sunday. Utah is just 12-31 ATS last 43 games on the road vs top tier teams that are shooting 46% or better from the field, while also holding opponents to 43% or worse from the field. Play the Nets -2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Warriors +2½ -105

The Warriors (+2.5) are worth a look as a small home dog against the Kings. Golden State will be on no rest after playing the Blazers last night, but I still like them at this price. Steph Curry scored a career-high 62 in the win over Portland Sunday and he's playing with a chip on his shoulder right now as people are bashing him for the Warriors slow start. Thing is, Golden State is 3-3, but two of those losses were on the road against two of the best teams in the East in the Nets and Bucks without one of their best players in Draymond Green. Kings are a decent team, but have lost 3 of 4 and simply should not be favored on the road in this one. Play the Warriors +2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on West Virginia PK -110

The Mountaineers (PK) are worth a look here as a pick'em on the road against Oklahoma State. West Virginia is one of the best teams in the country. They are 8-3 with their 3 losses coming against Gonzaga, Kansas and Oklahoma. The most recent was against the Sooners. They just dug themselves too big a hole early, falling behind 38-20 at the half. They rallied but just didn't have enough in the tank, losing 71-75. Expect a much better start in this game. Also, bit of a letdown spot for Oklahoma State coming off a huge upset win on the road in OT against Texas Tech. Play West Virginia PK! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pacers +1½ -105

The Pacers (+1.5) are worth a look as basically a pick'em on the road against the Pelicans. Indiana is coming off a shocking 102-106 loss at home to the Knicks as a 10-point favorite, but some of that was just them not showing up against a bad team. That outcome only makes me like them more here, as this is one of the best teams noone is talking about. The Pelicans are a good team, but a bit overvalued in my mind. Play the Pacers +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Hawks -6 -100

Atlanta (-6) is worth a look as they host the Knicks in Monday's NBA action. The Hawks are showing value here coming off an ugly 91-96 loss to the Cavs on Saturday. While that's a game Atlanta probably should have won, them not producing at their normal level shouldn't have come as a surprise. That was an awful spot for the Hawks playing on no rest after laying it all on the line for a second straight game against the Nets. The Knicks are 3-3 to start the year, which is a bit of a surprise, but also nothing to overreact to. The talent simply isn't there. Look for Atlanta to rebound and win here with relative ease. Play the Hawks -6! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Clippers vs Suns under 217½ -102

The UNDER (217.5) is worth a look in Sunday's NBA matchup between the Suns and Clippers. Phoenix has really been playing well on the defensive side of the ball. The Suns come in allowing just 98.7 ppg and that number goes down to 94 ppg at home. Clippers are coming off a game against Utah where they scored just 100 points on 39% shooting. LA is giving up 108.8 ppg, but can be dominant defensively when they want and I think they show up on that side off a loss. Play the UNDER 217.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies +11 -109

The Grizzlies (+11) are worth a look as a double-digit dog against the Lakers. Memphis showed they aren't going to just lay down after losing star point guard Ja Morant to an injury, as they just went on the road and blasted the Hornets 108-93 in their last game. The Lakers have won 4 of 5 and are just so much better than a lot of the teams they play. This just feels like one of those games where they just go through the motions for 3 quarters and try to pull out a win late. Play the Grizzlies +11! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Raptors vs Pelicans under 213½ -105

The UNDER (213.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action between the Pelicans and Raptors. I think a lot of people thought this New Orleans team was going to be one of the better offensive teams now that there were no minute restrictions on Zion, but that just hasn't been the case. The Pelicans are only averaging 101.6 ppg. They are however playing great defense, giving up just 99.2 ppg. Raptors are having similar struggles offensively, as they are at 101.5 ppg. They are only giving up 103.7 ppg. These two also have already played once, so both will know what to expect on the defensive side of things. Play the UNDER 213.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Kings +4½ -100

The Kings (+4.5) is worth a look in Saturday's NBA action that has them playing at Houston for the second consecutive game. Sacramento came up painfully short in a 3-point loss on Thursday, but I like them to not only come back and cover in the rematch, but win this game outright. Rockets are still learning how to play together with all the new pieces and they just don't play enough defense to be trusted. Play the Kings +4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Blazers -4 -110

The Blazers (-4) are worth a look here as a relatively small road favorite against the Warriors. Even with Draymond Green set to play for Golden State, this is just not a good team right now. They simply aren't shooting the ball well from behind the 3-point line. That includes Steph Curry. Wiggins and Oubre Jr are jacking it up all over the place and not producing. Wiggins is shooting 36.8% from the field and Oubre is a pathetic 26% from the field. Portland just has too much fire-power with Lillard and McCollum. Play the Blazers -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Grizzlies vs Hornets over 219½ -104

The OVER (219.5) is worth a look here in Friday's NBA action between the Hornets and Grizzlies. Memphis just doesn't have a lot to work with with all the guys they have out right now with injuries. Even when they were somewhat healthy they were lacking on the defensive end. The Hornets should be able to name the score here and I think they easily get into the 120's. Grizzlies should at least score 100, as they have hit at least 107 in every game so far this season. Play the OVER 219.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on St. Peter's -5½ -105

St. Peter's (-5.5) is worth a look in Friday's MAAC matchup at Canisius. The Peacocks are hands down the better team in this one and winning by 6 here won't be a problem. The Golden Griffins are just 1-3 on the season and have lost 3 straight. The two most recent being a 18 point and 28 point loss to Monmouth, who is rated worse than the Peacocks at KenPom. Play St. Peter's -5.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -4½ -110

The Pelicans (-4.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Thunder. New Orleans is just 2-2, but have played a really tough schedule to start out the season. They have played 3 of their first 4 on the road against the Raptors, Heat and Suns and hosted the Spurs. OKC will easily be the worst team they have faced so far and I just don't see them losing this game and 4.5 isn't a big number to cover. Play the Pelicans -4.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -2½ -105

The 76ers (-2.5) are worth a look here as a small road favorite against the Magic on Thursday. Orlando has started out 4-0 and are starting to get some buzz, but let's not overreact. The Magic beat the Heat in their opener, but the other 3 wins are against sub-par teams with two coming against an awful Wizards team. 76ers have won 3 of 4 and are just the better team and this is a great price to back them here. Play Philadelphia -2.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on San Diego +14 -105

The Toreros (+14) are worth a look here as a double-digit dog against San Francisco. San Diego comes into this game at 1-3, while the Dons are 6-4. I just feel it has SF laying a few more than they should be against a conference foe. Not to mention the Dons are in a massive lookahead spot with a trip to No. 1 Gonzaga on deck Saturday. Play San Diego +14! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Nets -6½ +102

The Nets (-6.5) are worth a look in Wednesday's NBA action that has Brooklyn hosting the Hawks. While Atlanta has been impressive in their 3-0 start, their 3 wins have come against the Bulls, Grizzlies and Pistons. The fact that the Hawks are undefeated and that the Nets have lost their last two games, pretty much guarantees we get a max effort from Brooklyn in this one. I just don't think the Hawks will be able to keep pace, as this Nets team can really lock you down defensively when they are engaged. Play the Nets -6.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on George Mason vs Massachusetts over 150½ -105

The OVER (150.5) is worth a look here in Wednesday's hoops action between UMass and George Mason. It's not secret that the Minutemen want to play an up-tempo game and we have seen it in their 4 games so far this season. All 4 games have seen a combined score of at least 151 points. George Mason will be the best team they have played so far. I got both teams easily hitting 75 points in this one. Play the OVER 150.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Butler +6 -115

Butler (+6) is worth a look in Wednesday's college hoops action. These two teams played last Wednesday at Butler and the Bulldogs won that matchup 70-64. I'm not saying Butler will pull of the sweep and win this one too, but I just can't pass up on the 6-points with the Bulldogs in this one. There's a chance Butler could be even stronger for the rematch, as Aaron Thompson, one of their best players, is questionable to return after missing the last 3 games. Play the Bulldogs +6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Wizards -4 -112

The Wizards (-4) are worth a look as a small home favorite against the Bulls. I'm not sure why Washington isn't favored by more in this matchup. While both teams are 0-3 to start the season, Wizards have been much more competitive in their defeats. Not to mention all 3 of the Bulls losses came on their home floor. Chicago just doesn't play enough defense to be taken seriously on the road against any team. Play Washington -4! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Mercer -2 -111

Mercer (-2) is worth a look as a slim home favorite against Wofford in Tuesday's college hoops action. The Bears have been impressive early on. Mercer is 7-1 with their only loss coming by single digits on the road to a good Georgia State team. Wofford has lost 3 of their last 4 and have just one win vs a D-I opponent and that was against a sub-par Coastal Carolina team. Play Mercer -2! 

15* SHARP PLAY on Rockets +8½ -110

The Rockets (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Nuggets. I just think there's a ton of value with Houston because of all the guys they are missing due to Covid. They still got Harden and a good enough supporting cast to be competitive against most teams. We saw that in their opener when they lost by just 2-points at Portland as a 7.5-point dog. Denver is also a team I think is a bit overvalued coming into the year because of their deep bubble run. We already saw the Nuggets lose outright as a 8-point favorite at home to the Kings and by 13 as a mere 4-point dog at home to the Clippers. Play the Rockets +8.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Minnesota +1½ -110

The Gophers (+1.5) are worth a look here as a home dog against the Spartans. I get Michigan State is 0-2 and are desperate for a win, but they are 0-2 for a reason and it's extremely tough to win on the road in the Big Ten, especially when you play as little defense as what the Spartans have played so far in conference action. Minnesota just pulled off a big home upset against an elite Iowa team and I think they ride that momentum to a win here. Play Minnesota +1.5! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pistons +8½ -110

The Pistons (+8.5) are worth a look here as a big road dog against the Hawks. The betting public is going to see that Detroit is going to be sitting out both Blake Griffin and Derrick Rose and run to the ticket window to lay the big number with Atlanta, but the books know this. Pistons aren't just going to lay down and the Hawks are primed for a letdown in this spot. Atlanta will have a hard time taking this game seriously with Griffin and Rose out and they got two big games at Brooklyn on deck Wednesday and Friday. Play Detroit +8.5! 

15* SHARP PLAY on 76ers -6 -105

The 76ers (-6) are worth a look here as a mere 6-point road favorite against the Cavs. Philadelphia beat the Wizards 113-107 in their opener and destroyed the Knicks 109-89 on Saturday. No reason not to think the 76ers won't make easy work of another sub-par team in Cleveland. While both teams will be playing on no rest, the Cavs are at a much bigger disadvantage as their game yesterday with Detroit went to double-overtime. All 5 starters for Cleveland logged at least 38 minutes with 4 playing 42 or more. Just won't be enough gas in the tank for the Cavs to keep this competitive. Play the 76ers -6! 

20* SHARP PLAY on Pelicans -5 -105

New Orleans (-5) is worth a look here as a small home favorite against the Spurs. This Pelicans team should be a big factor in the Western Conference this year with a healthy Zion Williamson. New Orleans got the season started off with a big 113-99 win at Toronto as a 4-point dog, but lost on Christmas Day to a really good Miami team on the road. Pelicans finally get to play at home and should take care of a Spurs team that has looked good, but are playing their 3rd game in 5 days and second of back-to-back. Play New Orleans -5!
