Sports Picks & Predictions

Miami vs Phili Over 207.5

These are two playoff teams you do not want to see if you’re one of the top seeds in the East. We’re on the Over in what should be a very entertaining game on Wednesday night in the Eastern conference play-in. Both teams are healthy and poised to make a push in the East. The 76ers battled all season long and finally got Joel Embiid back, who has been tearing things up left and right. The big center has made such a huge impact and the 76ers have won 8 straight games while averaging 119 ppg in that run. Miami is right there with them too. The Heat have gone over in 9 of their last 10 games as they’re pushing the tempo more and more. With the stars these two teams have and the weapons they both contain, this has the makings of a back and forth game all night long. These two teams aren’t shy about attacking the rim or getting out in transition, which is going to add to this over. With Embiid back on the Phili side, they’re averaging a lot more points per game and also conceding more too. That should open things up and we’re going to get a much quicker paced game here on Wednesday. This is a lower total, that favors the over. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

Over 221

The Mavs will look to extend a 3-game win streak vs. the Hornets on Tuesday at 7pm ET. Charlotte is 2-5 on their current homestand. Last game out the Mavs' Irving had 48 pts in a 147-136 OT home W vs. the Rockets. Dallas and Charlotte should play to a very fast paced game on Tuesday. The Mavericks are playing at such a high level right now and their pace is huge reason why this Over has the value it does. The Mavs dropped 147 points in an overtime win last timeout where they nailed a game tying 3 at the buzzer to send it into overtime. This team averages over 118 ppg and they’ve been on a roll as of late when it comes to scoring. Between the likes of Irving and Doncic, they have lit up the scoreboard both with their ability to attack the rim and shoot the 3. Charlotte boasts one of the worst defenses in the NBA and they’ve picked up their scoring over the last couple of games. With nothing to play for, they’re playing loosely and starting to turn up the pace in their games. This has the makings of a back and forth affair all night long. Look for both teams to get out and run and for this to the kind of game where we see quick shots both ways. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 210

Memphis is playing great basketball, while the 76ers are healthy and ready for their playoff push. These two factors have given this over value on Saturday night. Memphis has won 3 straight games where their offense has put up impressive performances in all 3. They’ve been a struggle all year, but they’re looking to finish this season with momentum to carry over. They’re getting contributions up and down this lineup and it’s coming from their ability to get out in transition. Philadelphia has Joel Embiid back and he looks extremely fresh putting up 29 points in the latest win. This 76ers offense is rolling right now and it just got even better with Embiid coming back healthy. We should see a back and forth game all night with both teams looking to get up and down the floor. These two teams play with a ton of pace and they’re going to exchange transition buckets on Saturday, giving this over value. Shooting lanes should open up, adding to the value on this total. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 207

Miami and the Knicks should play to a game that is back and forth here. New York is playing some of their best basketball right now and they’ve seen a huge increase in their scoring. New York has hit at least 113 points in their last 4 games. They’ve done it with a combination of winning the battle in the paint, which in turn has opened up shooting lanes all around for their outside threats. Miami has had issues lately slowing down outside shooters, which plays right into the hands of this over. The Heat have put up 142 and 119 points in their previous two games, which has resulted from their ability to pick up the pace. These two conference foes will have a lot of tempo and push the issue on one another. Given the way both teams are playing right now on the offensive end, this total is valuable given that it’s opened lower than normal. You know what to do. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. 

Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play

UNDER 216.5

The 76ers (38-32) visit the Clippers (44-25) at Crypto.com Arena, tip is at 3:30pm ET, marking their maiden encounter this season. Philadelphia seeks redemption after consecutive road losses, dropping to Phoenix by 13 and Lakers by 7. Meanwhile, the Clippers secured two wins in Portland, grabbing W's by 13 and 8 points. The 76ers and Clippers have value on this Under. The 76ers come in as they continue their road trip after they had to deal with two tough games against the Lakers and Suns both which were played to lower scoring and hit on the under. That's been the latest trend for the 76ers, who continue to play lower scoring games. They have really slowed the tempo down and they're forcing teams to play to their pace. That gives us a nice edge on this under, as the 76ers come in ranked 9th in the NBA in total defense. They will force this game into a slower tempo, which the Clippers will welcome as they return home after a back to back in Portland. The Clippers rank 10th defensively in the NBA, as they're right there with the 76ers. Both teams are good at closing out on shooters and they don't allow anything easy in the paint. This is the kind of game that will turn into a grind, with both teams looking to work the ball around. We shouldn't see too much in transition, which gives us good value in this spot. Trends, total has gone UNDER in ALL of 76ers L8 games, and in 5 of their L5 on the road. Plus, the UNDER has hit in 6 of their L7 vs. WEST teams. On the other side, the total has gone UNDER in 9 of LAC L11 Sunday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 229

We’re on the Under as the Suns and Spurs clash on Saturday night in San Antonio. This game is going to be a lower scoring affair as this game should be played a slow pace. San Antonio is going to make this game played at their kind of speed and they’ve found recent success with games being slowed down. They’ve been able to keep themselves in games, even with top opponents, as they like to eat a lot of clock on possessions. Coming into this one, they average 112.3 ppg and they’ve seen that number go down as of late. They scored just 107 points in the latest loss to the Mavs, but did hold them to 113 in the game. That's the kind of style they need to be successful and they’re going to make this be played in that kind of style. The Suns are also seeing some lower scoring games mixed in. They tend to play to the speed of their opponent, which really benefits this under. Expect plenty of long possessions and for both teams to turn this into a half court style game. With that, this should be a game similar to the one the Spurs played with the Mavs last time out. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 222.5

Wednesday at 10pm ET sees the Phoenix Suns (39-29) hosting the Philadelphia 76ers (38-30). The Suns, favored by 8.5 points, anticipate a competitive clash with an over/under set at 220.5 points. These two last locked horns on Nov. 4/23, a 112-100 76ers win in Phili. After a four-game road trip, the Suns seek to ascend the Western Conference standings. With less than a month remaining in the regular season, they're poised for a homecoming. Meanwhile, the 76ers, favored by 3 points, triumphed 98-91 against the Heat, contrasting the Suns' recent 140-129 loss in Milwaukee. The 76ers have been in survival mode at times without Embiid in the lineup. They’ve completely altered their style of play as they have slowed things down tremendously. We’ve seen games this month where the 76ers sat in the 70’s both scoring and against. They’ve found success on the defensive end and come in off a 98-91 win over the Heat last time out. Philadelphia has really put an emphasis on closing out on shooters and when they grab a defensive rebound this team will walk it up the court. They’ve found this successful as it’s taken teams out of their rhythm, as the NBA is mostly a fast paced league. That bodes well for our under here, as this game should be played at such a slow pace. Phoenix meanwhile has had similar situations this month as well when it comes to a slow pace. They tend to let the opposition control the pace and they will also lean on their defense that is around 114 ppg against. This has the makings of a game where neither team wants to get out and run, which values this under tremendously. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 233.5

On Tuesday at 8pm ET, the Mavericks (39-29) clash with the Spurs (15-53) in San Antonio. The Mavericks, are favored by 8, and this game holds an over/under of 233. The Lone Star State rivals meet for the fourth time this season. Mavericks dominated prior games, winning by 18 points on average. San Antonio hosts its fifth game of an eight-game homestand. San Antonio faces Mavericks post-Austin OT win vs. Brooklyn 122-115. Dallas, victorious in 5 of 6 anticipate a heated clash tonight. This total is just too high for the Mavs and Spurs. San Antonio just hasn’t scored enough this season to be trusted with a total this high. They’re averaging just over 112 ppg this year and they are just such a young team that has endured far too many inconsistencies. The Spurs have had many cold streaks during games which is extremely valuable for an under like this. If they go a couple stretches without scoring and missing shots, it flips this total upside down. The Mavs have won 2 of 3, but they’ve hit the under in both of those wins as they’ve found a lot of success defensively when the game is slowed down. In those wins, they allowed 99 points and 105 to the Warriors and Nuggets. Holding those two offenses down shows what this defense is capable of and they should have plenty of success stopping this inconsistent Spurs attack. With this number being so high, there’s value on the under. Expect a game where both teams take their foot off the gas a little bit, slowing the tempo down. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 213

Monday night at 10pm ET, the Knicks (39-28) take on the Warriors (35-31) at Chase Center. The Warriors opened as 4.5 points with an over/under of 213. You can catch this one on ESPN. We’re on the Under here as these two teams meet on Monday. They met Feb 29th and since then, the Knicks have won 5 of 7 overall and they’re playing at such a high level defensively. They’ve held the opposition to under 100 points in 6 of those 7 games and they continue to really lock down defensively both against shooters and in the paint. Overall this year, the Knicks are giving up just 107.8 ppg and they have been a nice under backing. Golden State has been inconsistent this season for starters and they are going to struggle shooting against this defense. Everyone knows how the Warriors play and this is not a good matchup for them. Expect both teams to struggle from the field offensively, while the Knicks set the pace of this game by playing very slow. There is good value in this spot for a slow tempo and for both teams to struggle finding quality shots. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 227.5

The Bulls (28-32) battle the Kings (34-25) at Golden 1 Center in Sac Town, CA, Monday, 10pm ET. Opening odds favor Kings by 6.5 points with a 229-point total. Bulls lost 113-97 to the Bucks; Kings beat the Timberwolves 124-120 in their last outings. Chicago and Sacramento are both young teams and fast paced, which should provide a lot of a fireworks here in this matchup. Chicago dropped 130 in a 2 OT win over Cleveland before allowing 113 points to the Bucks in a loss. Now they get a look at a Kings team that is going to run wild on them. The Kings play with such tempo and they’re going to be hard to stop in this spot, Sacramento averages over 118 ppg and they are one of the best at getting out in transition. They are successful with the more speed they play with and the Bulls defense has had a ton of issues with fast paced teams. In turn, the kings have had so many issues defensively because of how quickly they play. They’re right around what they average on the offensive end, as they give up 117.9 ppg defensively. Chicago has found themselves right in the thick of the bottom of the East playoff race as they are a tough team to stop offensively. They seem to play up to the competition level too and will match the tempo of the Kings. Look for a back and forth game with both sides creating a lot of open shots. Trends, Sacramento has seen the total go over in 9 of their L13 games, including 5 of their L6 at home. Chicago has had the total go over in 8 of their L12, 8 of 9 against Pacific teams, and 4 of their L6 in March. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 213

Tonight at 7pm ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland OH, we get the NY Knicks (35-25) taking on the Cleveland Cavs (39-20). Cleveland leads New York in the NBA standings, yet the Knicks ousted Cavs in last year's playoffs. Last game out the Cavs triumphed in Detroit, ending the Pistons' hopes with a 10-point win, sealing a season sweep. For NY, last game out Brunson led with 27 points in a 110-99 loss to the Warriors on Thursday. This should be a fast paced game. While the Knicks and Cavs battle injuries, this total is dropped because of that. Still, both teams have plenty of playmakers and we’re going to see a back and forth game all night long. Cleveland in particular is one of the fastest teams in the NBA. They average 114.6 ppg but that number continues to go up with their ability to attack the rim. They are one of the best three point shooting teams as well, which adds a lot of value. They will toss up many three pointers and almost everyone on the floor can hit them. New York meanwhile continues to get torched defensively. They know they have to pick up the tempo on their end to match this Cavs intensity, which should lead to a lot of quick shots and transition attempts. We’re going to get a lot of effort from these two teams, given the rivalry that’s started to build. With both defenses just too hard to trust, the Over has a lot of value. Combine that with this game likely being closely played throughout and we will get plenty of quality shots in a high scoring game. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play

UNDER 248

Monday night the Wizards (9-43, 24-27-1 ATS, 6-20 AWAY) take on the Dallas Mavs (30-23, 28-25 ATS, 15-13 HOME), tip off is at 8:30pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. The last time these two met up Doncic got himself 26 pts and dished out 10 assists as the Mavs triumphed over the Wizards 130-117 on 11/15/23. Irving was sidelined due to a sprained left foot. Mavs come in looking for 5 wins in a row. The Sixers took down WSH 119-113 on SAT (their 6th straight L). Washington just doesn't have the firepower to keep up in this game which is going to affect this total. The Wizards have struggled all season long and they're just far too inconsistent to trust with a total this high. They rank just 17th in the NBA, averaging 114.8 ppg. They have struggled both inside and out and they are one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the league. Coming into play on Monday, they sit at 27th in the league, hitting at just a 35% clip. All of this should add up to a game where they struggle from the field and a couple cold spurts by a team when a total is this high usually results in an under. Dallas is going to come into this one with some fatigue too. The Mavs have had a tough stretch of games lately and they know taking on the Wizards might be a game they can look past a bit. Dallas also continues battle injuries, which we could see some key pieces get limited minutes if this game turns ugly early. Expect a game with very little rhythm and consistency, especially when Washington has the ball. With the way the Wizards' games have gone too, a blowout could come and be beneficial to this game slowing down late with the possessions. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 9 of WSH L11, and in 7 of their L10 in FEB. For Dallas, the total has gone UNDER in 8 of their L12, and in 13 of the L20 played on Monday's at home, also, the Under is 4-0 in Mavs L4 after scoring more than 125 points in prior matchup. My model sees this one staying under 244. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 239

Afternoon game in Dallas today. 3:10pm ET tip. We get the OKC Thunder (35-16, 31-20 ATS, 15-10 AWAY) taking on the Mavs (29-23, 27-25 ATS, 14-13 HOME) from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. New recruits join both teams: Mavericks enlist Gafford, Washington; Thunder sign Gordon Hayward. Mavericks' injury report: Dereck Lively (nose), Dante Exum (knee) out; Maxi Kleber questionable. Luka Doncic (nose), Kyrie Irving (thumb) probable. OKC's sole injury: Hayward, out. These two last met on 12/2/23 a 126-120 OKC win in Dallas. The Thunder and Mavs are going to play to a fast paced game here. Oklahoma City is one of the fastest teams in the NBA and they’ve been able to find a ton of success with their transition play. They have averaged 120.8 ppg and they’ve done it both with their inside presence and outside shooting. They’re at their best when they can get out and run and that’s what they’re going to do in this matchup. They have fresh legs with the off days and they take on a Dallas defense that has had its fair share of issues. Dallas has given up 118.1 ppg this year, which is in the bottom tier of the league. OKC should find plenty of success pushing the tempo and open up a lot of shooting lanes. On the flip side, with OKC’s pace comes a lot of gaps defensively. Dallas averages 118.3 ppg themselves and they can match the pace and intensity here. With the acquisition of PJ Washington, they receive a boost offensively to an already tough team to guard. Trends, the over has cashed in 5 of the L6 for OKC in FEB, and all 5 of these two teams' L5 games have also gone OVER the posted total. Also the Over is 5-0 in Thunder's L5 vs. a team with a winning SU record. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 230.5

Monday night the Toronto Raptors (17-32, 23-25-1 ATS) face off against the New Orleans Pelicans (28-21, 27-21-1 ATS) at 8:00 ET in the Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA. The NBA ML Odds are Raptors +463 | Pelicans -673, ATS NBA Odds show Toronto +11.5 | New Orleans -11.5, and the Total is O/U 231.5. The Under has good value. Toronto is winding down what has been an exhausting road trip thus far. Still with 2 games remaining on this 6 game road swing, the Raptors have just one win and come in after a double overtime game last night in OKC. It was an eventual loss as well, which brings them in on a low here. Fatigue will play a part thanks to that game last night and the travel they had to endure. The Raptors have been extremely inconsistent as well, adding to the value of this under. We’ve seen them at times struggle to find rhythm and that will be the case here especially, with the tired legs. New Orleans has stepped it up defensively over their last two games. They come in after allowing just 113 points to the Spurs which came after allowing only 99 to the Rockets. The Pelicans haven’t played as quickly as they typically do lately and we’ve seen some very low point totals from them over the last month. This has the makings of a game where Toronto slows the tempo down. They know they can’t get into a track meet given the fatigue factor. And they also know the Pelicans will be knocked off their game with a slow tempo. Expect them to dictate the pace, giving value to this Under. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 7 of Toronto's L10, and in 4 of their L6 FEB games. On the other side, The total has gone UNDER in 4 of NOP's L5, 5 of their L7 vs. TOR, and in 4 of their L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 236

Monday 7:30pm ET from the TD Garden in Boston, MA it's the New Orleans Pelicans (26-20, 25-20-1 ATS) taking on the Celtics (35-11, 23-21-2 ATS). We’re on the Under in a game that should be much more of a battle defensively than oddsmakers are making it out to seem. This is a high total, but these two defenses shouldn’t necessarily be overlooked. Boston comes in allowing just 110.7 ppg. They’ve been able to really step up sometimes defensively and they’re one of the best teams when it comes to not allowing 2nd chances for the opposition. They fell to the Clippers in an ugly game last time out and also will have the 2nd leg of a back to back looming tomorrow. This all plays into the cards of them playing slower and looking to put an emphasis on the defensive end. The Pelicans will try to run at times, but Boston is one of the best in the league at knocking teams out of their rhythm. New Orleans is right there defensively, allowing just 113 ppg themselves. While they were torched last time out, don’t overlook them as they’ve been able to still neutralize opposing teams at times with their pressure. Boston is a little shaky right now after that loss and they’re going to look to work things around knowing how New Orleans likes to play. This has the makings of a slower tempo game with both teams putting closing out on shooters well. This is a high number and there’s value with this game seeing some difficult shots both ways. Trends, the Under is 5-0 in BOS L5 when their opponent scores 100+ in previous game, it's also 5-0 in BOS L5 playing on 1 days rest, and the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Boston's L7, 4 of BOS L5 vs. NOP, and all of BOS L5 vs. WESTERN teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 238.5

The Bucks (31-13, 17-27 ATS, 20-4 HOME) face the Cavaliers (26-16, 22-18-2 ATS, 11-8 AWAY) at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI on Friday. Game starts at 8 p.m. ET. Bucks lead the series 2-1. It's their 4th meeting this season, just 2 days after the Bucks won 126-116 on Wednesday, snapping a Cavs 8-game win streak. In that game Antetokounmpo had another triple-double (7th) finishing with 35, 18 boards and 10 asst. Lillard & Middleton added 28 and 24. The Bucks haven't won the series since 2020-21, with teams splitting last year and Cleveland winning 3 of 4 the year before. Opening Odds: ML - Cavs +188 | Bucks -225, ATS - Bucks -6 (-108), O/U: 238.5. It’s a weird scheduling quirk that puts teams playing against each other in close days in the same building. After a very fast paced game on Wednesday, we should see a slower tempo game here. Both the Cavs and Milwaukee have played each other 3 times now after tonight this month. The familiarity is a huge edge for the under. These teams know each other extremely well and should be able to put the clamps down defensively. Cleveland got a small dosage of what a Bucks team at full strength looks like too. The Cavs weren’t getting the open looks from behind the arc they’re used to getting and it produced some struggles. Cleveland also knows they’re going to have to step things up defensively after last game. They struggled to stop the speed of Milwaukee and it should result in them playing a much slower game. Expect this one to be a grind, with Milwaukee also having another game tomorrow with the Pelicans coming to town.  Bucks are 9-13-1 ATS at home, Cavs 10-8-1 ATS away. Expect a close game. Cavs rank 3rd in defense, 21st in pace. They don't push the tempo. Trends: Milwaukee 2-10 ATS in L12, 17-26-1 ATS this season. Bucks went Under in 5 of L10; Cavs went Under in 4 of L6. Cavs held opponents to 102 or less in 7 of L9. Cavs are 22-20 ATS this season, 5-1 ATS in L6. Also for the Cavs the total has gone UNDER in 6 of their L7 against an opponent in the Central, and we've seen the UNDER hit for the Cavs in their L4 Friday matchups. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 223.5

(31-14) Denver Nuggets vs. New York Knicks (27-17) 7:30pm ET from MSG. This one opened at 225.5. Late add here. The more I looked at this line today the more I kept coming back to it. There's nothing that I LOVE on this NBA card today, but I do LIKE this play. I'm going to release it as a 7* O/U Play. New York ranks 3rd in NBA scoring defense, with 15th place in field goal and 3-point defense. Denver, on a 3-1 road trip, won against the Pacers 114-109. The Nuggets are 6th in scoring defense, 10th in field goal, and 13th in 3-point defense. They're 14th in total rebounds per game. Reggie Jackson is probable tonight, and Isaiah Hartenstein is out tonight via Thibodeau. I'm jumping on this line now before it moves any lower before tip. Trends, UNDER has hit for Denver in 4 of the L5, & 5 of Denver's L7 games in JAN. For NY the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L6, 4 of their L6 vs. Denver, and their L5 at home. Plus the UNDER is good the L4 games out of 5 vs. WEST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play 

OVER 232.5

Pistons (4-39, 20-23 ATS, 2-20 HOME) take on the Hornets (10-31, 16-25 ATS, 5-17 AWAY) tonight at 7:10pm ET from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. Detroit has 4 wins this season, they've lost their first 3 games on this 6 game homestand, but they're not a complete disaster. One of their recent wins was a 111-99 win on Oct. 27th vs. these Hornets, but I'm expecting a drastically different total than that games 210. Pistons come in off of two really high scoring games. 141-135, and 122-113 losses to the Bucks. The Hornets come in off of a 128-125 win over the TWolves (KAT went off for 61 pts in that one). The Hornets avg. 108 PPG, DET 112 PPG. On defense the Hornets allow 119 PPG (24th) and DET averages 123 PPG (29th). Not exactly good defensive numbers here for either team. Both are bottom half of the league in blocks, steals and rebounding as well. Kyle Lowry should be in the lineup tonight for Charlotte tonight after being dealt from Miami for Terry Rozier. It's possible we get Cade Cunningham back for this game, so check the INJ. reports. Possible Nick Richards misses this one. Expect Duren to really step up tonight. I'm expecting run-n-gun tonight in this one, the number has dropped nicely in our favor, and I'm going to JUMP ON THIS OVER! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 229.5

Saturday at 7:40pm ET from MSG it's the Toronto Raptors (16-26, 21-21 ATS, 6-15 AWAY) vs. NY Knicks (25-17, 22-18-2 ATS, 13-5 HOME). Both prior matchups this year took place before the NY/TOR Anunoby trade. The last time these two met was in NY 12/11/23 136-130 NY win (over 222). Randle scored 34 points, Grimes had a season-high 19. Anunoby scored a season-high 29 points for the Raptors. Before that 12/1/23 a NYK 119-106 win in Toronto. The Knicks are favored by 7.5 points against the Raptors, with an over/under of 228. Toronto ranks 16th in NBA scoring (115 PPG), while New York ranks third in defense (110.8 PPG). Last game out, the Raptors lost 116-110 to the Bulls as 2-point underdogs, and the Knicks have now won two in a row, beating the Wizards 113-109 as 12-point favorites. Jalen Brunson led with 41, 8 boards, and 8 assists. New York's bench contributed only 7 points, shooting 45.3% in the victory. What an intriguing matchup as Barrett & Quickley play their old team, as well as Anunoby taking on the Raps. All will want to be at their best today, and I'm expecting the defensive intensity to ratcheted up a few notches for this one. KN are playing well, the last win was their 8th in L10. OG is averaging 15 PPG and his defense is really helping out in NY. He's elite on defense, and is a perfect fit for the Knicks. The 2 new Raptors are doing likewise really well in Toronto, both contributing well on offense. This will be an emotional game, and I'm expecting two teams to give their all on the defensive glass, and in the paint. No easy buckets tonight. NY is 5th on defense in the NBA allowing only 110 PPG. TOR is 18th at 116 PPG. Both are bottom half of the league offenses, and neither are particularly strong from 3PT range. The Knicks are a top 5 rebounding team. Trends, UNDER has hit for NY in 9 of their L10, 6 of their L6 at home, 5-0 L5 for NY vs. a team with a losing record, and 5-0 in NYK's L5 as a home favorite. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 226.5

Tonight at 8pm ET from the Kaseya Center in Miami, FL, we get the Atlanta Hawks (17-23, 10-30 ATS, 9-12 AWAY) taking on the Miami Heat (24-17, 19-21-1 ATS, 12-7 HOME). This one opened at 234 and has been bet down to 226.5 now. It's time to pounce. Miami is up 2-0 in the season series. 12/22/23 122-113 MIA (Under 238), and 11/11/23 117-109 MIAMI (Under 228). Atlanta won 106-104 against Orlando last Wednesday, while Miami lost 121-97 to the Raptors. Injuries we're watching, Trae Young (?), Jaquez Jr (Doubtful), and Love (?). Atlanta averages 121 PPG (4th, while Miami checks in at 111 PPG (26th). On defense ATL 123 PPG (28th), Miami 110 PPG (4th). This game should be extremely up tempo. Both the Hawks and Heat play quick and Miami even tends to pick things up more at home. The Heat are led by Bam Adebayo, who is putting up huge numbers this season. The F comes in averaging 21.5 ppg, 10.5 rpg, and 4 assists. He’s been the catalyst on this Miami team and they go when he goes. Atlanta has struggled mightily defensively on the road this year too. Their last two road games saw them give up 117 points and 150 points. Given Miami’s explosiveness and ability to play a good inside out game, the Hawks will have a ton of issues here. Atlanta will also pick up the pace themselves offensively. They love to lean on Young and his ability to create open shots. He makes everyone around him better and we should see them get some easy transition buckets. Look for a back and forth game in this one. Neither defense is consistent and that’ll led to some easy quick buckets for this Over. There's a lot of trends pointing UNDER in this one, but I'm zigging while the PUBLIC zags, and I like the OVER. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 221

Yet another NBA total play for tonight. Nets (16-23, 6-13 AWAY, 19-18-2 ATS) take on the Trail Blazers (10-29, 5-12 HOME, 17-22 ATS) tonight at 10pm ET from the Moda Center in Portland, OR. The line jumped up to 222, but now it's back to 221, and we're jumping on it there. I hate the side of this game with both teams playing such "hit and miss" hoops of late. The Nets have lost 8 of 9. PDX has 1 win in their last 8. BRK average 114 PPG, PDX 107 PPG. Defensively BRK is 17th on D 115 PPG, and PDX is 19th 117 PPG. The last time these two met was 1/7/24, a 134-127 PDX win. That game sailed over the 226 posted total. Trends, all trends that I've researched for this game point to the UNDER. The public is on the UNDER. These two teams put up 261 last time they met. So, this is my classic I'm going to zig while the public zags I'm doing the opposite play. Plus Ayton is back tonight after missing some time. Both clubs have a bottom 10 defensive rating, and each team is rested, so, I expect a lot of up and down the court tonight. We just need shots to fall to hit this over. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 221

TWolves (28-11, 12-9 AWAY, 20-18-1 ATS) take on the Pistons (4-36, 16-23-1 ATS, 2-17 HOME) tonight at 7:10pm ET from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI. The line jumped up to 223 or 223.5, but has settled back at its opener, and we're going to pounce now. Detroit comes in looking for B2B wins, as they start a 6-game home stand vs. Minnesota. Minni comes in off of a 23 pt win over the Blazers, and a 109-105 win over the Clippers. The last time these two met was 1/11/23, a 135-118 Pistons win in Detroit. Detroit actually won both games last season. That was a long time ago, and many roster moves have happened since. DTown comes in averaging 111 PPG, while the Wolves are 113 PPG. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 9 of MIN's L10 when playing on the road vs. DET. On the other side, DET has seen the OVER in 12 of their L18. My model has this one coming in from 230-235. DTown 24-15-1 to the OVER this year. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 234.5

Phoenix (20-18, 9-7 AWAY, 14-23-1 ATS) take on Portland (10-28, 5-11 HOME, 16-22 ATS) tonight in the Association. Tip is at 9pm ET from the Moda Center in Portland, OR. Two teams in dire need of change collide: The Suns, ending an 11-loss slump with a 127-109 victory over the Lakers, face the Blazers, who suffered a 1-6 road trip with losses averaging 33 points. The Suns hold a 2-1 advantage in the series. PHX score 115 PPG (15th), PDX 107 PPG (30th). Blazers allow 116 PPG (18th). This one opened at 231.5 so we're getting good value on the UNDER here. Pace of play Blazers 19th, Suns 20th. These aren't exactly 2 fact paced teams here. Check the injury reports for this one. LEE out for PHX, Williams, Sharpe, Brown OUT for PDX, Ayton and Badji are ?. The last time these two met was 1/1/24, a 109-88 (197) PHX win, before that 12/19/23 a 109-104 (213) win. My model has this one coming in around 225, the addition of Beal is the real Deal holyfield. Trends, the UNDER has hit in 5 of PDX's L7, and in 4 of their L5 vs. PHX. Also, we've seen the UNDER his in 9 of PDX's L13 at home. For PHX the Under is 6-0 L6 playing on 2 days rest, and the UNDER is 4-0 in PHOX L4 road games vs. team with a losing home record, and 5-1-1 L7 vs. a team with a losing SU record. I think the Suns likely run the score up in this one, and I don't see a way for PDX to help us get to the OVER. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 230.5

The Los Angeles Clippers (22-13, 14-4 HOME, 18-17 ATS) host the Phoenix Suns (19-17, 8-6 AWAY, 13-22-1 ATS). The game is at 10:30pm ET. The Clippers are favored by 5.5 points, with an over/under set at 226.5. This is a high total for two teams who will play in the 2nd leg of a back to back. When you get good teams like this, you never know who may sit out the 2nd game of a B2B. Teams typically can sit guys here and there and this game could see a couple guys sit out. Even if we don’t get that, fatigue will play a role. Phoenix was home vs Memphis yesterday in a game that was physical and just a grind. They fell by 6 to the Grizzlies as these two teams went at it all night with tempo and inside the paint. That wore on the Suns and they’re going to be in for a much more physical game with the Clippers who have a huge inside presence. Los Angeles is in a similar spot. They fell last night to the Lakers in a game where they managed just 103 points. They have been inconsistent this season and with a much older team, they’re going to slow the tempo down in this game and look to play a more half court style. That bodes well for this under as we should see the rhythm of both teams be a bit off. Both of these teams average around the 115-116 point threshold, but with this being a back to back for both, we should see those averages go down a bit. Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 4 of PHX L5 on the road, and total has gone UNDER in 4 of PHX L5 when playing on the road against LAC. Also, the total has gone UNDER 7 of the L8 when PHX is a road dog, and UNDER is 7-1 following a Suns ATS loss. For LAC the total has hit in 5 of L6. The last two times these two have played the total has gone OVER 225 and 231, but of late we're seeing much better defense played by both. Both teams are Top 15 defensive clubs. Since Dec 23 only 1 team have scored more than 106 vs. LAC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 227.5

POINTS points and more points is what you can expect in this matchup. The Knicks (19-15, 9-11 AWAY, 17-15-2 ATS) will face the 76ers (23-10, 13-4 HOME, 23-10 ATS) Friday at Wells Fargo Center, tip-off is 7:30pm ET on ESPN. The 76ers enter the matchup as -6pt favorites vs. NYK, with the over/under set at 226.5. The ML betting odds are Philadelphia -249, New York +201. Philadelphia ranks sixth in the league in scoring, averaging 120.7 PPG, while New York sits at 14th with 115.3 PPG. On the O/U NYK are 18-16, PHI are 20-12-1. Both are top 15 in 3-pt FG%, FT's per game and PPG. The last time these two met was 2/10/23. A 119-108 PHI win going OVER 222.5 O/U. These Eastern Conference foes are going to produce a very entertaining and fast paced game on Friday night The 76ers have been one of the fast teams in the league. They have so many different weapons and obviously it starts with Joel Embiid. The big center comes in averaging 34.8 ppg, 11.8 rpg, and 6.2 apg. These mvp caliber numbers have led this 76ers side to over 120 ppg. They’re one of the best at getting out and running, which opens up driving lanes and shooting lanes. They should be able to feast on this Knicks defense, that has allowed 114 ppg this season. New York can match that tempo though, which will add value in this spot. The Knicks have seen a lot of their games end up with both teams near or at the 120s and they’re doing it with their ability to shoot so well. As a team, they come in with a high FG% and they have playmakers that can step up all around. This is going to be a classic back and forth game, where both teams go on scoring flurries. Expect this one to have a lot of easy transition buckets and early shots in the shot clock. Trends, The total has gone OVER in 10 of NYK's L13 on the road. Over is 9-1 in Knicks L10 games as a road dog, and the Over is 5-1 in Knicks L6 following a straight up win of 10+. Plus, the total has gone OVER in 14 of NYK's L19 vs. ATLANTIC div. teams. On the other side, the total has gone OVER in 12 of Philadelphia's L18, and the Over is 17-4 in 76ers L21 Friday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 229.5

Tonight at 8pm ET from the FedExForum in Memphis, TN the Raptors (13-20, 4-11 AWAY, 15-17-1 ATS) take on the Memphis Grizzlies (11-22, 3-12 HOME, 13-20 ATS). This number is going to continue to go down. First off, the injury report for this one shows Ja Morant with the ? tag. If he doesn't play tonight I REALLY LOVE this play, but of course this is the NBA so one doesn't ever really trust these reports right? I still "LIKE" this play a lot if he plays. Both these teams are bottom 15 teams offensively. TOR 114 PPG 18th, MEM 106 PPG 30th. MEM is 30th in FG% and 3pt FG%. TOR are 13th in FG% and 25th in 3pt FG%. Raptors rank 22nd in pace. Grizzlies 16th in pace. The new look Toronto defense will get the best of Memphis in this one, Grizz are on 2nd night of a b2b, and they're 2-12 SU L14 at home, so it has been tough sledding for them there. I'm banking on this game being lower scoring tonight based on past history between these two clubs. 209 total points on 2/5/23, 225 total points on 12/29/22, and 189 points on 11/30/21. The Grizz do well with blocks, steals, and aren't too foul prone, so there's enough defense being played by them to keep this interesting. Trends, the UNDER is 6-0 in MEM's L6 following an ATS loss, and UNDER is 4-0 in MEM's L4 home games. Plus, we've seen the UNDER in 7 of MEM's L10, and in 4 of their L5 vs. Toronto. Plus in 5 of MEM's L6 vs. EAST teams, and in 4 of MEM's L5 vs. Atlantic teams. I'm on the UNDER. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 225.5

Saturday at 8:10pm ET from the Target Center in Minneapolis, MN it's the LA Lakers (18-15, 15-18 ATS, 6-11 AWAY) taking on the T-Wolves (23-7, 15-14-1 ATS, 13-1 HOME). Minnesota recently secured a 118-110 win over the Mavs, boosting their Western Conference-leading record to 23-7. The Lakers dominated the Hornets with a 133-112 win, marking their second win in 3 games. It's LeBron's birthday. For his entire career, LeBron has maintained an average of 33.7 PPG on his birthday. I'm expecting a motivated LeBron today. I'm expecting offense. There's too many good offensive players ready to get at each other today. KAT is averaging 21PPG, Edwards 25PPG, Gobert 12PPG (12 boards), James 25PPG, Davis 24PPG, Russell 15PPG. The last time these two met was on 12/21/23 a 118-111 MIN win. I can see something very similar in terms of score tonight. LA averages 114 PPG, MINN averages 113 PPG. Both shoot over 35% from 3. The Lakers currently hold the seventh position in possessions per game, averaging 104.5, while the Wolves are placed 18th with an average of 102.4 possessions. Injuries: Clark is OUT, KAT is (?), LeBron and AD will likely both go with this being a big game, and LJ's birthday. Reddish is probable, and Vincent is still OUT. Trends: The OVER has hit in the Lakers L10 games on the road. Plus, the Over is 6-0 in Lakers L6 as an underdog, and the OVER is 5-0 SU L5. Finally, the Lakers have had the Over hit to the tune of 5-0 in L5 when their opponent allows 100+ in their previous game. The total has gone OVER in 4 of the Wolves L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 225.5

It's safe to say I'm anticipating a high-scoring Christmas Day matchup. On Monday at 8 p.m. ET, the 76ers (20-8, 20-8 ATS, 8-4 AWAY) will be facing off against the Heat (17-12, 13-16 ATS, 8-6 HOME) in an exciting XMAS Day matchup. Philadelphia is right up there with Boston in terms of trying to making a statement in the East. The 76ers average 122.3 PPG, which is tops in the East. Philadelphia’s attack plays through Embiid, but he’s been able to make the supporting cast even better this year. The 76ers can look to the likes of Harris (33 points last game) and Maxey (31 points last game) to help take the pressure off of Embiid. The duo continues to put up big numbers and this Phili bench can also produce. Kelly Oubre also has come up big as of late. This year he’s putting up 13 PPG and his ability to be another threat inside can cause a lot of issues for opposing defenses. Philadelphia comes in off performances of 127 and 121 in their recent wins. Miami knows they’re going to have to pick up the tempo to keep up. They put up 122 against Atlanta last time out and they’re going to have to play with that kind of pace in this one. The Heat aren’t shy about shooting the 3 and that’ll bode well here in this spot for the over. Expect scoring flurries from both sides in a game that should be back and forth all day long. The 76ers, ranked #2 in the league for offensive efficiency, are averaging an impressive 121.5 points per 100 possessions. The 76ers have seen the total go OVER in 10 of their L13, and 5 of their L6 road games. Also, the total has gone OVER in 4 of Miami's L5. I'm expecting some wide open play on XMAS day. Tons of points. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

XMAS DAY 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 233.5

XMAS Day NBA matchup between the Golden State Warriors (15-14, 14-15 ATS, 6-8 AWAY) taking on the Denver Nuggets (21-10, 14-16-1 ATS, 11-2 HOME). Tipoff is at 2:30 p.m. ET in Denver. It's safe to say I'm anticipating a high-scoring Christmas Day matchup. Denver and Golden State should be one of the most entertaining matchups here on Christmas Day. Both teams are averaging over 115 PPG and they're going to have a lot of energy here with this being a marquee game. Christmas Day always tends to bring out the best in the stars, and both Curry and Jokic are playing at such a high level right now. Curry comes in putting up 28 PPG, while Jokic is at 26. The two have played exceptionally well as of late and we know these teams go when they do. Expect a ton of pace here on Monday. These two teams rank near the top in tempo and we're going to see a lot of quick triggers offensively. That'll benefit us with this over. Expect back and forth, end to end action, with these two sides producing a lot of open shooting lanes with the tempo. Golden State has picked things up lately too, putting up over 126 points in three straight. The Nuggets have been an offensive juggernaut this season, averaging over 1.18 points per possession. Denver is among the NBA's elite in various offensive categories, including field goal percentage, assists per game, turnovers per game, and points in the paint, consistently ranking in the top 5. Trends, Golden State has been involved in high-scoring affairs lately, with the OVER hitting in 6 of their L8 games. This trend extends to Western Conference matchups, where 4 of their L5 games went OVER. Additionally, in clashes with Northwest Division opponents and in meetings with Denver, the OVER has prevailed in 8 of their L12. I'm expecting some wide open play on XMAS day. Tons of points. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

XMAS DAY 7* NBA O/U Play

Over 238

Tonight at 9pm ET from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, we get the (16-9, 14-11 ATS, 9-4 AWAY) Dallas Mavs taking on the (17-10, 11-15-1 ATS, 10-2 HOME) Denver Nuggets. We’re backing this over here as we get two teams who love to play with a ton of tempo. Both teams sit near the top in the NBA in pace and this one should be a shootout. Dallas comes in averaging 120 points per game while conceding 118. This month especially they’ve been involved in plenty of high scoring games, which includes last time out where they won 131-120. They’ve eclipsed over 120 points in 4 of their last 5 games as they aren’t shy about pushing the issue. Denver will have a field day with this Dallas defense. The Nuggets continue to be one of the best offensively with the amount of weapons this team has. The Mavericks issues on the defensive end come from allowing quick and open shots in transition. The Nuggets can get out and run and they’re one of the best at shooting the 3 ball. Both teams are playing well coming into this game overall. Doncic and Jokic both are playing at a top level and their teams feed off their energy. The Mavs are a top 7 team on O this year. #1 in 3-pt-attempts, and #12 in 3-pt shooting, so to help them win games and cash this over we need the 3 to drop tonight. With Joker obviously the Nuggets don't need to rely on the shots from DTown, but they're a slick passing team #2 in assists, and really create scoring opps. with their passing. Injuries: Irving/Kleber will be OUT, Holmes is (?) for Dallas, for DEN:  Murray, Gordon and KCP are all (?), but I think all 3 play. Trends, the OVER has hit in 6 of the Mavs' L7, and in 12 of their L15 on the road, and in 4 of their L5 vs. WEST teams. The Over has also hit to the tune of 8-1 in the Mavs L9 when playing on 1-days rest, and it's 6-0 in the Mavs L6 following a straight up win by more than 10. Last time they met these two put up 239 points on 11/3/23. (That went over the 230 total) Dallas' combined total last game out was 251 vs. PDX. Denver's last game was a 118-117 loss to OKC hitting 235. Expect points. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 227.5

At 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA its the (10-17, 12-14-1 ATS 3-10 AWAY) Chicago Bulls taking on the (18-7, 10-3 HOME, 18-7 ATS) Philadelphia 76ers tonight. The 76ers routinely score over 123PPG. The Bulls routinely score over 115 PPG (even without LaVine). The public is on the UNDER in this one. We're going to ZIG when the Public Zags even though the last two times these teams have met we've seen the UNDER hit. 3/22/23 was the last game 116-91 PHI. Drastically different looking team from that game, compared to what we're seeing L10 games for each team in this season. Philadelphia is playing at such a high level right now. This offense has been the best in the NBA as of late as they’re just torching opponents. Coming into play here, they have put up performances of 131, 125, 146, 129, 124, and 135 during this win streak. They’re just simply overwhelming the opposition with their speed, inside presence, and their ability to open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Overall this year they sit near the top of the NBA, putting up 123 points per contest. The Bulls are going to have to pick up their tempo to match in this one. Chicago has shown glimpses of what their future looks like as this younger team put up 124 just a couple of games ago. They’re going to get torched on defense and will have to pick up the pace to try and match the 76ers intensity. This has the makings of a game where the 76ers setting the tone and pace, which the Bulls will try to match it, favoring us. Injuries: LaVine, Craig OUT, Caruso (?), Phili is healthy. Trends, for the 76ers the OVER has hit in 8 of their L10, and in 7 of their L8 at home. For the Bulls the OVER has hit in 5 of their L5, and in 7 of their L7 on the road. Lastly, the Bulls have hit the OVER in 6 of their L6 games as a road DOG. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 246

The Suns (13-12, 11-13 ATS, 2-12 AWAY) will be hosting the Wizards (4-20, 10-14-1 ATS, 6-8 HOME) at the Footprint Center this Sunday, with the game scheduled to tip off at 8 p.m. ET in Phoenix, Arizona. When it comes to the opening odds here's what we've got: Moneyline (ML): Wizards +550, Suns -800; Against the spread (ATS): Suns -12.5; and the total, Over/Under (O/U): 245.5. In their recent games, the Suns suffered a 139-122 loss to the Knicks as 5.5-point home favorites, while the Wizards managed to secure a 137-123 victory against the Pacers as 8-point home dogs, putting an end to their 6-game losing streak. It's worth noting that Beal, one of the Wizards' star players, is sidelined due to an ankle injury for this upcoming game. Word is he'll be out a couple of weeks. The Suns have faced some challenges on their current homestand, losing 3 out of their last 4. Additionally, they haven't fared well against the spread, going 1-7 ATS in their L8 games. On the bright side, Phoenix has displayed solid defensive performance lately, allowing less than 116pts in 5 of their L6. They average 114PPG on D putting them at 16th in the NBA. They will also dominate the glass in this one taking away a ton of 2nd chance putbacks. They also lead the NBA in blocks! As an added bonus for this O/U play they've struggled on OFF failing to score more than 120 pts since Nov. 20th. Yes the Wizards have allowed 120+ in their L10, but coupled with the Suns defense I think this total stays UNDER 240 comfortably. You know what to do. The UNDER is 8-1 in the Wizards L8 Sunday games. WIZ are 0-6-1 L7 following a win which tells me they're not going to touch the Suns on OFF in this one. The last time these two met was 12/28/22 a 127-102 Wizards win, before that 12/20/22 a Wizards 113-110 win. Gordon will play today. Okogie/Beal are OUT. These two play UNDERS. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 261.5

Friday contrarian play here! Wiz are allowing what seems like 140 or more every night, and the Pacers don't know how to slow down, so this total is sky-rocketing. (13-10, 13-10 ATS) Indiana Pacers take on the (3-20, 10-13 ATS) Washington Wizards tonight. 7pm ET from the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. The Pacers currently hold a 1-0 lead in the season series. In their recent games on Wednesday, both the Pacers and Wizards showcased strong offensive performances but struggled defensively. Indiana suffered a 140-126 loss to the Bucks, while the Wizards were defeated 142-122 by the New Orleans Pelicans. It's worth noting that Nembhard and Smith are unavailable for the Pacers, while Davis, Poole, and Shamet are also out for Indiana. All we need is one bad quarter and this will win for us. At last check this is the highest league total in NBA history, so I have to UNDER just to be against JOE Public. Trends, You won't find any. This is an anti-Public play! The line has moved so much in our favor I have to jump on this. I'm banking on the Pacers bench NOT going off tonight. If they stay "decaffinated" we have a chance to cash this. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 7* NBA O/U Play

OVER 222

7-14 (3-6 AWAY, 9-12 ATS) Hornets take on the 13-10 (5-4 HOME, 10-13 ATS) Heat in Miami tonight. Bang on the HEAT / HORNETS OVER 222 here. The Miami Heat have been showing signs of improvement, securing victory in three of their last five games. They are determined to maintain this momentum, especially after a hard-fought win against the Hornets on Monday. I'm expecting points. We're against the PUBLIC here. Both teams average around 113PPG, the Hornets though allow 121 PPG, the Heat 111 PPG. Both are bottom 15 in the NBA in FG%, and 3PT Attempts, and Miami has the advantage on the glass. The last time these two met was 12/11/23 and we a a 116-114 Miami win. (230 pts) Run-n-gun tonight. I think we'll see points from these two. Both are rested not having played since Monday. Trends, the total has gone OVER in Hornets 4 of L5, 6 of L7 when playing Miami in Miami, and 11 of their L16 vs. Eastern Conference teams. For the Heat, total has sailed OVER in 4 of their L6, and in 5 of their L7 when playing vs. Charlotte. Hop ON! Injuries. Ntilikinia, Ball, Williams for CHAR, and for MIA, Richardson, Adebayo, Herro. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 243

Ok I'm finally getting off the couch and picking something on this game. I can't just watch this game tonight. So this is a 7* play. NOT huge $ on it, but enough to sprinkle in to have something to cheer for. I'm liking the 243 number. Hope you can find that at your book. A whopping $500,000 is at stake for each player on the winning team in this game! It's like a sweet incentive for professional athletes to bring their A-game to the court! This time, it's Indiana (12-8, 12-8 ATS) facing off against the Lakers (14-9, 11-12 ATS) in the In-Season Tournament Championship. The action is set to kick off at 8:30 p.m. ET (ABC) at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight. Opening odds: Moneyline (ML): Pacers +150 | Lakers -178, and Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -4 (-110), with the total, Over/Under (O/U) set at 243. These two squads haven't crossed paths yet this season, but they did split their series 1-1 back in the 2021/22 season. Now, let's dive into how they made it to this championship showdown. The Lakers showed their dominance with a commanding 133-89 victory over the Pelicans Thursday, marking their second-highest scoring performance of the season. Meanwhile, the Pacers pulled off an impressive upset, winning 128-119 as 5.5-point dogs against Milwaukee. I'm steering clear of the spread this time, even though I'm leaning towards the Pacers. They've covered the spread in three consecutive games. However, it's tough to go against LeBron and the Lakers, who have also covered the spread in their last three outings. In terms of injuries, keep in mind that IND will be missing Nembhard and J. Smith, while LAL's Vincent is also out. These two have both played some UNDERS of late, so that's my lean 100%. I'm expecting the Pacers depth to really be tested here. Apart from their starters not a lot of dudes can score. The key to the Lakers winning the NBA CUP tonight lies in their strong defense. They have recently held 4 out of their last 5 to 107 points or fewer, showcasing their defensive prowess. With their length and defensive abilities, they have the capability to effectively contain Indiana and secure victory. (I know IND can score, just not tonight) Trends, the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Indiana's L6 when playing on the road against the Lakers, I only put that in here (Neutral court) because we all know this will feel like a LAL home game.Just like the NOP game did) The total has gone UNDER in 8 of LA's L12, and finally the total has gone UNDER in 9 of the Lakers' L13 games against Indiana. You know what to do. Hit the UNDER tonight. I'm at 235-239. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 7* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 228

Clippers (8-9, 7-10 ATS, 3-6 AWAY) vs. Warriors (8-10, 7-11 ATS, 3-6 HOME) tonight in San Francisco. Tip off at 10pm ET start time on NBA TV. These two last played on 3/15/23 a Clippers 134-126 win. Those were much different lineups than we're seeing tonight. Clips come in with momentum off of last nights win in SacTown, Warriors rested after a loss in SacTown on Tuesday. I'm backing the UNDER tonight. Clips have won 3/5, Warriors have lost 3/5. Big minutes last night for Harden (39), George (40), Kawhi (37) Clips come into this one on a B2B, and the Warriors are 2-men down with Payton II, and Paul likely sitting. Green being back in the lineup always helps the defensive side of a Warriors game. Sure GSW plays high scoring games, but the Clippers can get after it on defense. Expect to see more Moses Moody tonight. (Right now, you're saying... Who?). LAC 19th in PPG at 112PPG, GSW 114PPG. LAC 108PPG allowed on D (6th in NBA), GSW 114PPG (20th). In my mind tonight defense "trumps' offense. Recent NBA trends indicate that the under bet has been successful for the Clippers in various scenarios. Notably, the under has hit in their L4 road games against teams with a home winning percentage below .400 and also in their L4 following a straight-up win. Additionally, the under has been a reliable choice in 9 of L10 games after scoring 100 or more previous game. UNDER has also hit in 8/9 where their opponents allowed 100 points or more in their previous game. We're going to see defense tonight. Expect LAC to slow it down. Back the UNDER. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 8* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 219

Detroit (2-16, 1-8 AWAY, 7-11 ATS) in the Big Apple tonight to play the Knicks. (10-7, 5-3 HOME, 9-6-2 ATS). Tip off at MSG is 7:30pm ET. This is their first matchup this season. Knicks opened this one as a -2pt favorite. Last year NY won all 5 matchups. Last game was on 1/15/23 a NY 117-104 W staying UNDER the 225 total. Tonight's total is 219. Opened at 222.5. I still think we're getting good value on the UNDER here. This is my last NBA play for the day. Going to the Eastern conference and playing on the UNDER in the Pistons/Knicks matchup. This will be the last game of NYK's 4 game homestand. Detroit comes in on the 2nd night of a B2B, with some DET->NYC travel. They were blown out by LAL last night 133-107. We're now at 15 losses in a row for DET, and things aren't good in the MotorCity. Cunningham is one of the few bright spots for DET he's consistently scoring at least. Thompson and Livers are helping out too, but this team is just so inconsistent from night to night. Some bodies missing from this game that helps this play. Joe Harris OUT, Bojan and Monte (?). For NYC Arcidiacono and Brown are (?). Stats, neither team is scary on OFF. DET 109ppg (27th), NY 110ppg (26th). Knicks are the best defensive team in the NBA currently allowing only 110ppg (1st). DET shoots only 29 3pt'ers per game putting them 29th. NY 12th with 36 3's att. per. Knicks will get after it tonight on D, DET ranks 29th in the NBA with 17 TO's per game. Knicks took down Charlotte 115-91 on Tuesday in tourney action. Knicks have now held 7 teams to fewer than 100 points. No Pistons average more than 13ppg. You see where I'm going with this? Total has gone UNDER in all of NYC L5 games vs. Central Div. teams. If DET gets down early they can't keep up, they're proving that this year. They can't come back in games. It's a losing culture. Misery loves company. I expect DET to bring NYC down in this one. Expect a bad game to watch, with some defense sprinkled in by NYC. Barrett, Grimes, Quickley, Randle can all get after it on D. Maybe parlay this with a Knicks spread win? Your call. Back the UNDER. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play

UNDER 216.5

10-5 (3-5 AWAY) Nuggets take on the 7-6 (7-1 HOME) Rockets tonight at 8pm ET. I'm sure this is a popular pick tonight for most NBA cappers, but needless to say it feels like the right pick. I think they've got it all wrong here. Sometimes, when things don't seem right, I steer clear of the point spread. This game is one of those where the oddsmakers are playing tricks. In my opinion, Houston should be the favorite. So, for tonight, I'm going with the UNDER. After their 124-119 loss to the Orlando Magic on Wednesday, Denver has now lost three out of their last four games. The Rockets managed to secure a 107-104 win over Denver back on Nov. 12, so there's some history between these two teams this season. In their most recent game, Houston dominated with a 111-91 home victory, marking their seventh consecutive win at the Toyota Center against the Grizzlies. Even though the total points seem low at 214.5, I would've still bet on the UNDER. But now they've bumped it up to 216.5? Alright then. It's worth noting that both the Rockets and the Nuggets play at a slow pace, ranking 3rd and 4th slowest in the NBA, respectively. Furthermore, both teams boast top 10 defensive lineups. So, it's looking like a game with fewer points on the horizon. Don't be fooled by the odds, trust your gut on this one. UNDER has hit in 13 of L18 for DVR, plus in 10 of the L12 for DVR vs. Western Conference teams. For HOU the UNDER has hit in 6 of the L7, and in 4 of the L6 vs. DVR. GO LOW! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 223.5

The Kings (4-4, 3-6 ATS) will play the Cavaliers (4-5, 4-4 ATS) in Sacramento, CA at the Golden 1 Center. The game starts at 10:00PM ET and can be watched on NBA TV. The over/under for the game is set at 226 points. The Kings are a slight 1-point favorite, with odds of -117 for Sacramento and -102 for Cleveland on the moneyline. Last game out, Cleveland won 118-110 at Golden State on Saturday. On Friday the Kings took down OKC 105-98. In terms of scoring, the Kings rank 19th in the NBA with an average of 111PPG, while the Cavs are 23rd with 109PPG. On the defensive end, the Cavs allow an average of 111PPG, making them the 13th-best team in the league in terms of limiting opponents' scoring. Sacramento's defense is ranked 17th, allowing an average of 113PPG. The last time these two met was 12/9/22 a 106-95 Kings win in Cleveland. We’re backing the Over here as the Cavs continue their west coast road trip against the Kings. This is going to be a fast paced game every way. Both teams love to get up and down the floor and they push the issue on the opposition constantly. Cleveland comes in off a win in Golden State as it was a game that featured plenty of fast paced push outs and early shots in the shot clock. The Kings and Cavs are both at their best when they play fast. This is going to turn into a track meet. Look for a high scoring, close game, down to the wire. Sacramento are 5-10 ATS in their L15 at home, and the total has gone OVER in 4 of Cleveland's last 5 on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA OVER Play

OVER 239

Crazy line movement on most NBA games today. Everyone and their dog is betting OVERS it seems like. I doubt I'll add another NBA game today, but I might! LOL This is one where the movement hasn't been too crazy, so going to pounce. On Friday, Washington (2-5, 3-4 ATS) hosts Charlotte (2-5, 4-3 ATS) at Capital One Arena. The tip-off for this in-season tournament group stage match is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET. The Wizards are currently ahead in the season series with a 1-0 lead. Just two days ago, these teams faced off, and there wasn't much defense on display. The Wizards grabbed a W 132-116 in Charlotte, covering as a 2.5-point dog. The Wizards have struggled against Eastern Conference teams, holding a 1-5 record in their seven games. On the other side, the Hornets are 2-5 overall and are hoping to break a two-game losing streak. Injured? Rozier will be unavailable for this game, but everyone else is expected to play. Heading into Friday's matchup, the Hornets have allowed at least 124 points in their last five games, with an average of 123 PPG, which ranks them third highest in the league. We've seen the TOTAL go OVER in all of Charlotte's L5 games, the same with Washington. PLUS, we've seen the OVER hit in 10 of the L10 Wizards games against Eastern Conference foes. Can it continue? YES. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 6* NBA O/U Play

OVER 223.5

Tonight at 9:00pm ET in Salt Lake City we get the Memphis Grizzlies (0-4, 0-1 AWAY, 1-3 ATS) taking on the Utah Jazz (1-3, 1-1 HOME, 2-2 ATS) at the Delta Center.. The betting odds for this one have the Jazz as the small -2pt favorites ATS, on the ML the Jazz are -130, the Grizz +113. The O/U total is set at 223.5 after opening at 227.5. 

Memphis come into this winners of 3 of their L7, while the Jazz are 6-4 in their L10. These two clubs met up 4x in the 22/23 season splitting the series 2-2. The L4 times they have met they combined to put up 228, 241, 226 points and 247 points.

Memphis and Utah both come in with some early season struggles and it comes because of their defense. 

That will certainly benefit us as we are on the over here. 

Both teams are built with youth and that has put them into some struggles with defensive stops. They’ve been unable to slow reams Down in transition and we should see that become a huge issue on Wednesday. 

Look for quick tempo game and for both teams to  struggle with stopping easy looks at the rim. With the speed of this game, shooting lanes will open as well. 

No injuries of note for the Jazz tonight, of course the Grizz have concerns. Missing Morant (susp), Adams, Clarke, Kennard, and Aldama. Both teams are averaging over 105PPG, putting them in the middle of the NBA pack. Defensively however they're both in the bottom 10. The Grizz allow 114PGP, and the Jazz 121. The Grizz haven't scored less than 105 this season. The Jazz 102.

Some trends to note, the total has gone OVER in 11 of Memphis' L12 games when playing on the road against the Jazz, and in 5 of Utah's L6 games, and in 10 of Utah's L12 games against Memphis. Also, we've seen the OVER hit in 4 of Utah's L5 games at home.

We're backing the over tonight in Salt Lake. Expect points.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 7* NBA O/U Play

OVER 218

We're playing this over for a couple of reasons.

The 76ers are going to come out with some fire. They fell in Milwaukee in a high flying game that went down to the wire in their season opener. With a questionable non travel call, they have frustration built up. 

They also run into a Raptors team that will be a struggle on the defensive end after dealing with an overtime game on Friday night.

The Raptors also will have to pick up the tempo, knowing how this Phili side plays. They will have to play into a quicker game where transition buckets will be key. 

Some trends to note, the OVER is 12-3 in the Raptors L15 games as a home dog of 3-10.5. (More coming)

Back the OVER in Saturday's matchup between two nice looking offenses. I have this one 227+. Assuming Harden still out for the Sixers too.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 6* NBA O/U Play

Under 221.5

In the season opener for the 2023-24 season, scheduled for Wednesday, at 7:30 PM ET from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, we see the Cavaliers taking on the Nets. The Cavs are favored by -1.5, while we're seeing the Over/Under set at 221.5.

The Cavs won 2/3 games in the 2022/23 season. 116-114, and 115-109, and then they lost 125-117.

We're on the Under here as the Nets and Cavs tip off their seasons. 

Cleveland (the #4 team in the East last season) comes in with high hopes once again after making the playoffs last year. However, it was an early first round exit for them as they look to avenge that. The key for them last year was on the defensive end. They allowed 109.9 defensive efficiency. They also weren't in much of a hurry either. They slowed a lot of things down and played at one of the slowest paces in the NBA. 

Brooklyn isn't going to overpower anyone either. After all their pieces were dealt to break the team up throughout the last few years, this is a team that battles a lot of inconsistencies. 

We're going to see this one played at a very slow pace, with nothing easy at the rim. A lot of good players on the court Wednesday night will cancel each other out!

Some trends to note. Under is 5-0 in Cavaliers last 5 games following a straight up loss, and 5-0 in the Cavs last 5 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. Plus the Under is 7-0 in Cavaliers last 7 overall.

Cleveland Cavaliers injury report: Ricky Rubio (out), Jarrett Allen (questionable)

Brooklyn Nets injury report: Dennis Smith Jr. (day-to-day),  Dariq Whitehead (day-to-day)

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play

Under 225.5

A highly anticipated opening night NBA matchup between the Celtics and the Knicks is scheduled to take place at Madison Square Garden Wednesday, tip off at 7:00 PM ET. Here are the NBA odds for the game: The Celtics are favored with a -2.5 point spread, and the Moneyline odds stand at +120 for the Knicks and -135 for the Celtics (for those betting on the straight-up winner). Additionally, the Total for the game is set at 225.5 points for the Over/Under, with an initial opening line of 222.5 points. 

Anytime these two teams meet it becomes quite the interesting matchup. Neither team really likes the other and it opens up a very hard fought game between the two sides.

Defensive typically dominates this matchup for a few reasons.

The first is the intensity side. Given the rivalry, you typically see just hard nosed, high pressure defense both ways. With this being the opening game as well, that should be the case once again here.

Also, Boston is one of the best in terms of defense. They rarely allow anything easy and they will pick up the intensity a lot here in this matchup.

Some trends to note, obviously dating back to the 22/23 season the total has gone UNDER in 4 of Boston's L5 games, and the total has gone UNDER in 8 of NY's L11 games, and 7 of their L10 vs. Eastern conference teams.

Back the UNDER on Humpday.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

Miami vs. Denver Over

Denver Leads Series 3-1

The trophy will be inside the arena tonight as Denver has a chance to clinch an NBA title.

We're on the Over here between these two teams in Game 5. This has been a wide open series in terms of how these games are played. Both teams push the tempo a bit and we've seen spurts both ways where teams score quickly. 

Expect plenty of tempo here and for Miami to throw everything they have as their backs are against the wall. We should get a lot of transition buckets, helping this Over out.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings in Denver. Over is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings. Over is 7-3 in Heat last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Over is 9-4 in Heat last 13 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 10* NBA O/U TOP Play

OVER 207

Tonight in Miami we get the (52-38, 26-19 on the road, 48-38-4 ATS) New York Knicks taking on the Miami Heat (51-41, 31-15 at home, 38-50-2 ATS)

Whenever these two teams meet, it tends to feature a lot of back and forth action. 

With the importance of this game and the series, this should be wide open. Both teams will look to attack, especially early in this one. Miami has all the momentum right now and will try to push the tempo on the Knicks.

After last game's debacle, the Knicks know they need to get their confidence going early on. 

Look for this to turn into a quickly played game and for shooting lanes to open up for both teams. 

Some trends to note, Over is 9-1 in Heat last 10 home games, 11-2 in Heat L13 overall, is also 5-1 in Heat last 6 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, plus the over is also 9-2 in Heat last 11 games following a ATS win. On the other side the over is 7-3 in Knicks last 10 games playing on 1 days rest. 

Back the OVER. In these two clubs' L5 games we've seen the Over go 4-1 in Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Monday 7* NBA O/U Play

OVER 224

Denver Leads Series 2-0

Phoenix and Denver clash here and we're on the Over as these two teams play with a ton of pace.

Both teams love to get up and down the floor, as we've seen throughout this postseason. 

With how many scorers both sides have, transition play can open up a lot of shooting lanes in this one. Expect both teams to get out and attack early in the shot clock, which should open things u very quickly. 

We've seen plenty of back and forth with these clubs and it's worthy of a nice Over play here.

Some trends to note, the Over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings in Phoenix, plus the Over is 11-5 in Suns last 16 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, Over is 10-2 in Suns last 12 games following a ATS loss, and 4-0-1 in Suns last 5 home games. On the other side the Over is 3-0-1 in Nuggets last 4 road games, and 4-1-1 in Nuggets last 6 overall.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 8* NBA O/U Play

Lakers vs Warriors Over 227

Los Angeles Leads Series 1-0

The Lakers and Warriors battle in Game 2 and we're on the Over here.

Game 1 was extremely high paced and we saw a lot of back and forth action. This Lakers side is playing with a lot of confidence right now and it's led them to scoring a lot of quick buckets, especially in transition.

With the Warriors losing home court, this is a must win game for them. Expect Curry and Thompson to come out of firing early in this one as they can score in flurries.

Some trends to note. Over is 7-2 in Lakers last 9 games following a ATS win. Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Golden State. Over is 11-4 in Lakers last 15 overall. Over is 7-2 in Lakers last 9 games following a ATS win.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play

Philadelphia vs. Boston Under

Philadelphia Leads 1-0

A monumental Game 1 by James Harden gave the 76ers a 1-0 series lead coming into Game 2 here. Harden had to drop 45 points and looked like the Harden of old in the process.

This game has the feeling of a much slower played game. The Celtics know they have to slow the tempo down in order to get Harden out of his rhythm. Expect Boston to work this clock and really try to not allow the 76ers to get out and run. 

Some trends to note here. Under is 5-2 in 76ers last 7 Wednesday games. Under is 5-2 in 76ers last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 13-4 in Celtics last 17 Conference Semifinals games.

Expect a much slower played game that favors Boston.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play

Lakers vs. Warriors Over 227

Series Tied 0-0

We're on the Over here between the Lakers and the Warriors in Game 1. Golden State needed a road win in Game 7 to take down the Kings in Game 1, while the Lakers dismantled the Grizzlies.

Both offenses are in solid form entering play here on Tuesday.

This has the makings of a very high tempo game. Both teams love to push the ball and attack in transition. That should make for. back and forth game all night long here as the pace will be extremely high. 

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2 in Lakers last 8 road games. Over is 34-16-1 in Lakers last 51 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Over is 18-7-1 in Warriors last 26 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Over is 10-4 in Warriors last 14 Tuesday games.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 232

Round 1 Series (Boston Leads 3-2)

Tonight we get the Celtics (60-27, 26-17 on the road, 48-38-1 ATS) taking on the Hawks (44-44, 25-18 at home, 38-49 ATS) in Game 6 of this Round 1 series.

Both of these teams will play with a ton of speed and pace here. We should expect a high tempo game with Atlanta trying to fend off elimination once again.

The Hawks come in ranking third in the NBA in total points, while the Celtics are right behind them in 4th. Both teams love to push the issue in transition and this is a case where things will pick up, especially early on. With the confidence Atlanta has now, this game will be wide open.

Look for shooting lanes to develop for both teams as well, adding value to this total. 

The Over is 7-2-1 in Hawks last 10 overall, 5-0 in Hawks last 5 home games, 5-0-1 in Hawks L6 games playing on 1 days rest. Plus the Over is 6-0 in Celtics last 6 games playing on 1 days rest, 7-1 in Celtics L8 road games, and 5-2 in Celtics last 7 overall. Additionally head to head the Over is 5-2 in the L7 between these two clubs.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray

Thursday 7* NBA O/U Play

Atlanta vs. Boston Over 229

Boston Leads Series 3-1

Boston (60-26) and Atlanta (43-44) meet in Game 5 as the Celtics look to close this out. We're on the Over here as these two teams just play with so much pace.

We've seen it through the first couple of games as both teams love to push the tempo on one another. Both defenses have been very sub par at best and with the season on the line for the Hawks, they're going to throw everything they have here. Look for this to be a wide open game with a lot of transition buckets each way. 

The transition game will open a lot of lanes for shooters as well, benefitting us.

Some trends to note. Over is 6-2-1 in Hawks last 9 overall. Over is 4-0-1 in Hawks last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Over is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 9* NBA O/U Play

Denver vs Minnesota Over

Denver and Minnesota meet in Game 4 on Sunday night and we're on the Over here in this one.

This series has been incredibly fast paced with both teams pushing the tempo. This has played into the Nuggets hands as they have won all 3 games, with the last two going over.

Denver was one of the top offenses all throughout the season, as they shot a league best 50% from the field during the regular season. With Minnesota on the brink of elimination, they will throw everything they have here at the Nuggets.

Look for a fast paced game that is back and forth all night long.

Some trends to note. The Over is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings and is 20-7 in Nuggets last 27 Conference Quarterfinals games. The Over is 8-2 in Timberwolves last 10 games following a straight up loss.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play

Thunder vs. Pelicans Under

We're on the under here between the Thunder (40-42, 45-34-3 ATS) and New Orleans (42-40, 39-42-1 ATS). 

With this being a play-in game, defense is going to be a crucial part. We should get a lot more Intensity and both teams should put an emphasis on not allowing anything easy at the rim. 

With two young teams here as well, that will help us with this value. The inexperience here in the playoffs should lead to a lot of nerves, where both teams will take their time running offensive sets. With a slow start in this one and such a high total, we can see a much lower scoring game given what is on the line.

Although the Thunder managed to secure a 110-96 victory in their most recent match on March 11, the Pelicans emerged victorious in three out of the four meetings between the two teams this season.

Some trends to note. The under is 4-1 in Thunder last 5 road games and is 7-2 in Thunder last 9 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. It is also 18-6 in Pelicans last 24 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game and 20-7 in Pelicans last 27 overall.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play

Knicks vs. Pacers Under

We're on the Under here between the Knicks (46-33, 43-33-3 AT) and the Pacers (34-45, 41-38-0 ATS). 

Both of these teams have played with a very slow tempo when it comes to the head to head matchup. The Under is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings and 6-2 in the last 8 head to head meetings. This matchup where both teams have nothing really to play for either.

The Knicks know they will matchup with Cleveland, while the Pacers season has come to an end with their elimination. Look for some sloppy play and sluggish play both ways here as the game goes on.

Some trends to note. Under is 12-4 in Knicks last 16 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 4-1 in Pacers last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 226.5

Minnesota (39-40, 37-42-0 ATS) and Brooklyn (43-35, 39-37-2 ATS) meet on Tuesday night and we're on the Over here.

Both of these teams sit near the top in pace per game and we should see a lot of back and forth In this one. 

The Nets shoot the ball lights out and when they catch fire, it's so tough to stop. They rank 5th in the NBA in both FG% and 3FG%. They love to push the tempo and it opens up plenty of shooting lanes. 

Minnesota is right there in FG% themselves. They aren't shy about hoisting up quick shots and that will benefit us here on this Over.

Some trends to note, The total has gone OVER in 6 of Minnesota's last 7 games against an opponent in the Eastern Conference. Plus the Over is 4-1 in Timberwolves last 5 games playing on 1 days rest, it's also 6-1 in the Wolves L7 games following a straight up loss, and 9-4 in the Nets last 13 games following a ATS loss.

Back the Over

The Bulls (36-39, 36-36-3 ATS) and Lakers (37-38, 36-38-1 ATS) are set for battle on Wednesday.

This Over here has nice value to work with. 

Both of these teams love to play with a ton of pace. This is the kind of game where both sides will look to push the tempo on the other. We'll be in store for a lot of fast break opportunities and many early shots in the shot clock. With that will come a plenty of open shooting lanes for outside shots as well.

The last 7 times these two teams have met, the Over has cashed 6 times.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 223.5

I swept the board yesterday 4-0 100% +410, now on an INCREDIBLE March Run (91-56 62% +2938) & I'm the top capper on the network L30 days! Hop on the money train with me! 

On Sunday at 6pm ET we get the Washington Wizards (33-41, 33-38-3 ATS) taking on the Toronto Raptors (36-38, 37-36-1 ATS) in NBA gambling action. The Raptors come into this one as -5.5pt favorites. The over - under has dropped from 228.5.

In the two games played earlier this season, each team emerged victorious once. The Wiz claimed the first game on March 2nd with a score of 119-108, while the Raptors secured an overtime win in the second game on March 4th with a score of 116-109. On Friday, both teams took to the court in their respective games. The Wizards emerged victorious in a high-scoring 136-124 contest against the Spurs. Meanwhile, the Raptors secured a dominant 118-97 win over the Pistons, completing a sweep. 

The Wizards come into this one averaging 113PPG, the same as the Raptors. A bonus play for you, the Raps come into this one 8-1 SU in their L9 at home, and the Wiz are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. Toronto, so no way the Raps lose, and since games between these two are competitive I see it being close to the end. We may even get some OT. 

Some other trends to note, the Over is 7-2 in the Wizards L9 games following a straight up win of more than 10, and the over is 13-3 in Raptors last 16 games following a straight up win of more than 10. Also, the over is 6-2 in Raptors last 8 games playing on 1 days rest, and lastly 8-3 in Raptors last 11 overall.

My projections have this one coming in around 229-231.

Back the OVER.

Over 221.5

Miami (40-34, 28 - 44 - 2 ATS) and Brooklyn (39-34, 37 - 34 - 2 ATS) battle and we're on the Over.

Brooklyn has been a solid over backing as a whole here given how they play. They love to get up and down the floor and that should continue here. 

Opposing teams will typically adapt as well to the pace Brooklyn plays at, which benefits us here on this Over.

Cleveland and Miami just battled it out a few nights ago in Miami and they'll do it again here. These two teams have cashed in on the over in 7 of the last 9 head to head meetings in Miami.

OVER 223.5

We're on the over here as the Nets (35-28, 31-30-2 ATS) and Hornets (20-45, 28-34-3 ATS) clash on Sunday. 

These two teams love to play with extreme pace. That will certainly play into our favor obviously here as they love to get up and down the floor. 

The Nets in particular now play even faster after trading away Durant and Irving. Their youth has allowed them to speed the game up, but it also causes them a lot of defensive issues.

The Hornets are very similar and we should see a lot of back and forth action. With this in mind, expect plenty of quick shots and for both teams to push out in transition.

Some trends to note,  the Over is 4-1 in the Hornets last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. The Over 5-2 in Nets last 7 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, 11-5-1 in Nets last 17 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game, and is 8-3 in Nets last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play

OVER 225

On Saturday night the Miami Heat (33-31, 23-39-2 ATS, 19-12 @ home) take on the Atlanta Hawks (32-31, 28-35 ATS, 14-18 on the road) in Miami. My projections call for this total to get blown up with point tonight, seeing as the OVER is 21-6 in Hawks last 27 games following a ATS win.

As of today, Miami occupies the 7th spot in the East, trailing the Nets by 2 1/2 games, while staying ahead of the #8 Hawks by a half-game. Atlanta under newly appointed former Utah Jazz coach Snyder, has gone 1-1, with their debut game against the Wizards resulting in a loss.

Some trends to note, Over is 7-1 in Hawks last 8 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points, plus 9-2 in Hawks last 11 games following a straight up win, and it is 4-1 in Hawks last 5 overall. The OVER is also 6-1 in Heat last 7 games when their starting 5 players combine for more than 160 minutes on the previous day, and lastly is 5-2 in Heat last 7 games following a straight up loss.

January 16th these two teams met and played to a 121-113 scoreline. I'm expecting something similar tonight, as we're going to see 3's raining in from all over the court.

Back the OVER.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play

Nets/Knicks OVER 222.5

We're on the Over here between the Nets (34-27, 30-29-2 ATS) and the Knicks (36-27, 34-26-3 ATS). 

With the Nets shipping away Irving and Durant, this team has gone super young and it's led to them playing with a lot of pace. This young core loves to push the tempo and it's given them a lot of back and forth action in their games. With the inconsistencies the Knicks have on the defensive end, this is a game where Brooklyn can look to find some easy transition buckets. 

New York plays a very similar style. With their lack of solid defense, they are always trying to get out and run. Because of that, they've seen the Over hit in 7 of the last 10 meetings between these two sides.

Some trends to note. Over is 10-4-1 in Nets last 15 overall. Over is 7-2 in Knicks last 9 vs. a team with a winning straight up record.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play

Miami vs. Philadelphia Over 216

Miami (32 -29, 22-37-2 ATS) and Philadelphia (39-20, 35-24-0 ATS) clash on Monday and the Over has value.

These two teams have some of the top scorers in the NBA and it should result in plenty of back and forth action on Monday. The 76ers are in the midst of a solid stride where they are getting contributions from many different players. They also come in on a nice over mark. The 76ers have gone 15-5-1 in 76ers last 21 games playing on 1 days rest. 

Miami is right there with them. They have seen the Over go 5-2 in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.

OVER 224.5

Tonight in Philadelphia the 76ers (39-19, 34-23 ATS) host the Boston Celtics (43-17, 30-27 ATS), and we're getting good value on the OVER. The line on the total opened at 229. When the public is heavy on the UNDER we'll ZIG when the others ZAG.

The Sixers are aiming to secure their sixth consecutive victory Saturday night, following their recent 110-105 win against the Grizzlies. Meanwhile, the Celtics are seeking their third straight win. In their last game, the Celtics took down the Pacers 142-138 in OT on Thursday. With both teams possessing strong offensive capabilities, I anticipate a high-scoring match on Saturday, and my projection suggests a total score of around 236.

Boston comes into this one 8-2 in their L10, the 76ers on the other hand are 7-3 in their L10. They're also 24-8 at home, while Boston is 19-10 on the road. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 head to head matchups in Philadelphia.

Some other trends to note, Over is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 overall, plus the OVER is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game, and the Over is 4-0 in Celtics last 4 games following a straight up win. Also, the Over is 4-0 in 76ers last 4 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, and 10-3-1 in 76ers last 14 home games.

Saturday 6* NBA O/U Play

OVER 221.5

Denver is currently holding a five-game lead in the Western Conference, with their dominant big man, Nikola Jokic, averaging a triple-double every game. This puts them in a strong position for a deep playoff run. As for Cleveland, they were on a seven-game winning streak before losing to the 76ers in the final game before the season's mid-point break.

In their previous encounter, the Nuggets emerged victorious with a 121-108 scoreline in Denver I'm expecting a similar scoreline on Thursday. This one goes over 230.

Some trends to note, Over is 6-1 in Nuggets last 7 vs. a team with a winning straight up record,  5-1 in Nuggets last 6 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Plus the Over is 6-1 in Cavaliers last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play

OVER 226.5

Detroit Pistons (15-44, 25-31-3 ATS) vs. Orlando Magic (24-35, 33-25-1 ATS). Expect plenty of pace here in this game as the Pistons and Magic meet. Both teams love to push the tempo with their youth and that plays into this Over very well. In the last 7 meetings between the two sides, the Over has hit in 5 of those contests. 

Combine that with both teams ranking near the bottom in many defensive categories and we should see plenty of good looks both ways. With a quick start, the tempo will continue to pick up as the game goes on. Detroit has been nice over backing themselves as of late too. They've hit their over in 5 of their last 7 when playing with this kind of rest. 

Some trends to consider, Head to head the Pistons are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings, and the over is 5-2 vs. the Magic in their last 7. Plus the over is Over is 5-0 in Pistons last 5 games after allowing more than 125 points in their previous game, and 10-4 in Pistons last 14 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Lastly, the Over is 8-3 in Magic last 11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.

OVER 224

The LA Clippers (32-28, 30-30 ATS) and the Phoenix Suns (32-27, 32-27 ATS) are set to face off on Thursday at 10PM EST. With both teams sporting similar records, this game is sure to be a close one, the NBA betting total is set at 224.

Last season, the Clippers and Suns split the season series after playing each other four times. In their last matchup in mid-December the Suns won 111-95. Both teams look a lot different now than they did then. Both teams have a strong ability to score, with the Suns averaging 112.7 points per game, ranking 21st overall.

Rockets vs. Thunder Over

We're on the Over here between the Thunder and the Rockets.

Both of these teams love to play with pace. They get out and run, playing with a ton of tempo. That bodes well for us here with this total as we should get plenty of quick shots up. 

Both teams have been over teams as well as of late. Coming into Wednesday, the Over has cashed in 4 of the last 5 for both sides. Both teams have the ability to attack the rim, but also aren't shy about jacking up the three ball either. This should turn into a back and forth affair here.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in Rockets last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.  Over is 21-8-1 in Thunder last 30 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

OVER 216

On Wednesday, the Cleveland Cavaliers (38-22, 33-26 ATS) will aim for their eighth consecutive victory. According to NBA odds, the Cavs are considered 2.5pt dogs while playing away, and the total score is predicted to be 216. They have recently been increasing their average score to 115.6 ppg, so I'm not sure about this one. 

They visit the Philadelphia 76ers (37-19, 32-23 ATS), who are also in good form and seeking their fourth straight win before the break. The 76ers easily defeated the Houston Rockets with a score of 123-104. This team has the ability to score at will.

Notably, in the Cavaliers' last six games against teams with a winning percentage above .600, the over has hit in five of them, and the same is true for the 76ers. Additional trends to note, the over has hit in 9 of the 76ers' last 12 home games and in 14 of their last 19 games when playing with just one day of rest.

Orlando meanwhile has done the same. They've hit the Over in 5 of their last 6 home contests and are putting up some high numbers offensively. On the defensive side, they are one of the worst in the NBA and will struggle with this Knicks pace.

The Clippers on the other hand have started to figure themselves out. They're playing much better overall on the defensive side of things, as they've been able to close out on shooters and control the paint.

This is going to be a game where the tempo is played fast. We get one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA in Detroit matched up with another very bad defensive team in Chicago. These two rank near the bottom in almost every defensive category, which certainly benefits us here.

Coming into play on Tuesday, the Suns have hit the Under in 5 straight games and their highest point total was 104 in that stretch. Meanwhile, Golden State hasn't been able to do much on their end either. They continue to drop games and they're having to dig deep into their bench for any sort of production.

Look for this one to be played at a very slow pace, with both teams struggling to get anything going. 

Some trends to note. The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Phoenix's last 5 games, also the total has gone UNDER in 6 of Phoenix's last 7 games when playing on the road against Golden State, and UNDER in 6 of Golden State's last 7 games when playing at home against Phoenix. Lastly the

Nets vs. Pelicans Over 

This Over has tremendous value. 

These two teams are near the top in the NBA when it comes to pace. Brooklyn puts up over 115 points per game and they have the ability to come at teams with so many different weapons. They are in the midst of a solid run as well over their last 10, playing with a ton of confidence. 

The Pelicans rank 4th in the NBA in points per game themselves and those numbers go even higher when playing at home. 

Some trends to note here. Over is 14-2 in the last 16 meetings in New Orleans. Over is 24-5 in the last 29 meetings.

With the way these two teams play when they meet, this Over is worth a nice move.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 10* NBA O/U TOP PLAY

Philadelphia vs. Oklahoma City Under

We're on the Under here in this one on Saturday night. 

Philadelphia comes in on the 2nd leg of a back to back, which always offers some interesting scenarios. You can see guys sit out last minute or see fatigue play a huge factor as the game goes on. That is what we get with this 76ers side, who will be entering play after dealing with a very quick paced game on Friday night. 

Combine that with this head to head series playing to the under and there is nice value. The Under has cashed in 13 of the last 19 meetings overall and with the factors in play on Saturday, there is a strong edge to believing this a very tightly played game.

Some trends to note. Under is 10-3 in 76ers last 13 vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Under is 7-2 in Thunder last 9 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Saturday 9* NBA O/U Play (PHI/OKC)

Brooklyn vs. Atlanta Over 

We're on the Over here Wednesday in Atlanta.

Brooklyn is on fire right now. They are scoring at a very high clip and they're doing it with so many different scorers. They picked apart a very good Cavaliers team last time out and now they take on a Hawks defense that has had plenty of issues here in 2022. Atlanta comes into play giving up 115.3 points per game, which is in the bottom tier of the NBA. 

They struggle with quick paced teams and that is exactly what we have here with the Nets. Look for Brooklyn to continue to push their tempo, as they have scored 118 points or more in their last 5 games. 

With the way the Nets are scoring, Atlanta knows they'll have to push the tempo themselves and play to the speed of this Nets side.

Some trends to note. Over is 5-1 in Nets last 6 road games. Over is 7-2 in Hawks last 9 overall.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Wednesday 9* NBA O/U Play (BK/ATL)

Nets vs. Cavs Over 

We're on the Over here as these two teams clash in Cleveland. Both teams figure to be in the thick of the playoff conversation this season and we're getting this matchup with both teams playing extremely well. 

The Nets have won 8 in a row and 9 of their last 10, while Cleveland is one of the best teams when it comes to playing at home. 

With both sides healthy, this one has the ability to turn into quite the shootout. The Over has been a solid backing in this head to head series as well. Coming into play on Monday, it's hit in 5 of the last 7 overall when these two teams meet. Look for this trend to continue as both sides will look to push the tempo, turning this into a track meet.

Some trends to note. Over is 4-1 in Nets last 5 road games. Over is 4-1 in Cavaliers last 5 overall.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Suns vs. Denver Over 230.5

We're on the Over here between two of the top teams in the West. 

This one will be a fun one as these are not just two of the best teams in the West, but in the entire NBA who have Championship aspirations here in 2022-2023.

Phoenix ranks 6th in the NBA in scoring, while Denver is right behind them in the 9th spot. With the playmakers both ways, these two teams aren't shy about hoisting up shots. Devin Booker and Nikola Jokic are in the midst of a battle for the MVP, as these two are putting up some unreal numbers right now. 

We've seen meetings between these two sides as well really turn into a quick paced game. Transition plays and early shots in the shot clock are the key to hitting an Over and these two teams do just that.

Some trends coming soon...

Look for a back and forth game all night long here.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

*RARE TOP PLAY*

Bucks vs. Celtics Over 

The Over here is the move as we have a potential Eastern Conference Finals preview. 

These two teams have made it clear they are going to run the East this season. Both sides have so many weapons and continue to put up big numbers offensively. Coming into Sunday, Boston ranks first in the NBA, putting up over 118 points per game. Milwaukee isn't too far behind as they are led by Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is averaging over 30 points per game.

Look for this game to turn into a track meet. Pushing the tempo is a norm for these two teams and this will be a statement game for one of these sides. 

Some trends coming soon.

This one will come down to the wire, in a high scoring affair.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 10* NBA O/U TOP PLAY

"Christmas Day NBA | Happy Holiday's & Win That $ " - Razor Ray!

Knicks vs. 76ers Under

Christmas Day kicks off inside MSG and this Under is the move here.

The Knicks are a new team here as of late as they're playing at a top tier level right now. With their new level play has come some of the best defense they've played all season long. The Knicks are averaging 111 points against, which is 11th in the NBA right now. That number has come down significantly since the beginning of the season and because of that they are on a nice Under run. 

New York has hit the Under in 8 of the last 10 games overall and 4 of the last 5 inside MSG. 

Philadelphia will have their hands full and they have been playing at an inconsistent level themselves lately too, adding value to this Under.

Some trends coming soon...

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA O/U Play

Wizards vs. Utah Under

We're on the Under here as the Wizards and Jazz clash on Wednesday night. 

Washington is the key to this Under here. They love to play slower than most teams and because of that, they tend to see some lower scoring games. Coming into play on Thursday, the Wizards rank 25th in total offense. They are a very modest 16th in the total defense, as their slow tempo does tend to throw some teams off. 

The Wizards have also gone Under in 4 of their last 5. 

Expect this game to be played with a slow tempo and for it to feature some very suffocating defense both ways.

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in Wizards last 5 overall, and 4-1 in Wizards last 5 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. Under is 4-1 in Jazz last 5 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play

Golden State vs. New York Under 

This Under is worth a nice move on Tuesday.

For starters, the Warriors continue their trend with so many different injuries. Right now, they are missing some key pieces and it's shown at times. They have struggled to find their groove, especially from behind the arch which is what this team lives for. 

Meanwhile, the Knicks have started to pick their play. They're one of the hottest teams in the NBA and they're winning games because of the way their defense has stepped up.

This is kind of matchup where we will see lengthy possessions and neither team putting much of an emphasis on getting out in transition. With that in mind, this one should be a grind and turn into a lower scoring affair.

Some trends to note. Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in New York. Under is 5-0 in Knicks last 5 home games.

Both teams know they have to win the defensive battle for their own reasons. 

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tuesday 8* NBA O/U Play

San Antonio vs Houston Under

San Antonio is 3-7 in their last 10 (3-7 ATS), the Rockets are 4-6. (4-5-1 ATS) We’re on the Under here as we have two of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA.

The Rockets and Spurs both come in with 9-20 records this season, as they’ve experienced plenty of struggles so far. It’s been many factors that have contributed to their struggles, with the biggest being their inability to find consistent scoring. Both teams rank near the bottom in scoring and come in off poor shooting performances. 

This has the makings of a game that doesn’t have much rhythm. When you don’t have a star who can take the lead for your team, it’s a struggle at times to feed off anyone’s energy. That’s the issue we see here with both of these sides and this total is just far too high.

Trends to note. Under is 4-0 in Spurs last 4 games following a ATS loss. Under is 15-5 in the last 20 meetings in Houston and 4-1 in Rockets last 5 overall.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

Minnesota vs. Utah Over

We're on the Over here as we should see a shootout unfold between these two teams. 

Both sides of love to push tempo and play with a ton of pace. Minnesota comes in off a 121 point performance, while the Jazz put up 124. That has been the case for both sides this season, but defensively they've struggled mightily. 

Both sides rank near the bottom defensively and that should see this game produce plenty of quick and easy transition buckets. 

A quick start in this one will turn this game into a track meet, certainly benefiting us.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Friday 9* NBA O/U Play

Nuggets vs. Blazers Over

We're on the Over here Thursday night between two very fast paced teams. 

We've seen both sides really push the tempo this season, as they rank in the top tier when it comes to pushing the ball. 

This is the kind of game where we should see plenty of back and forth action. Both the Nuggets and Trail Blazers put emphasis on getting out in transition and not chewing up a lot of clock with each possession. 

Given that, look for a very quickly played contest that should be close throughout which will even give us some free throw opportunities at the end.

Back the Over.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
