01-23-24 | Knicks v. Nets +4.5 | 108-103 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Nets +4.5 New York has won 3 in a row (26-17, 12-12 AWAY, 24-18-1 ATS), and they want to continue their winning streak. They play Brooklyn (17-25, 10-10 HOME, 20-20-2 ATS) at 7:30 PM ET on Tuesday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. You can watch this game on TNT. The initial odds favor the Knicks by 4, and the total is 225. The Knicks are the 16th-best scoring team in the NBA, averaging 115.2 PPG, and they also have the 3rd-best defense, allowing 110.6 PPG. On the other hand, the Nets are ranked 17th in the league for points allowed, giving up 115.8 PPG, and they have the 19th-best offense, scoring an average of 114.2 PPG. It's been rough sleddin' for the Nets vs. NYK of late. The Knicks took out Brooklyn 121-102 in their last matchup on 12/20/23 and have won the past 3 vs. the Nets by a combined 61 pts. NY won last game out vs. Toronto on Saturday vs. the Raptors 126-100. The Nets lost their last game out, allowing the final 22 points of the game to lose to the Clippers 125-114. A crazy ending to be honest. They won the game before 130-112 over the Lakers. I think Tuesday night will see a close game between these two NY teams. They know each other well, and both are playing 1/2 way decent ball right now. Both are top 5 rebounding teams, so we'll have to look elsewhere for advantages because I think they'll cross each other off in the paint. One area I'm looking at is the # of FG's attempted per game. The Nets are 4th, they really shoot the ball a ton, and get after it. They also attempt the 7th most 3-pointers per game. NY's #3 defense will be tested in this one. As will their depth. One positive for Brooklyn is over the last 5 games they've really stepped things up on the defensive side of the ball. Monitor Hartenstein's injury status for this one. He could miss this game with ankle soreness. Ben Simmons is still OUT for Brooklyn. Trends, NY are 3-9 SU L12 vs. Brooklyn, and they're 1-6 SU L7 on the road vs. the Nets. The Nets will get up for this game and they'll play NY tough on Tuesday night. Grab the +4.5 with the Nets. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-23-24 | Kentucky -4.5 v. South Carolina | 62-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Kentucky -4.5 Tuesday night at 7pm ET #6 Kentucky (14-3, 2-1 AWAY, 11-6 ATS, 4-1 SEC) take on South Carolina (15-3, 9-1 HOME, 13-5 ATS, 3-2 SEC) in college hoops action. UK are 8-2 L10. The rich got richer this week when UK got the green light from the NCAA to play Zvonimir Ivisic (7'2" Croatian Center). He played his first game on Saturday with the Cats, and tonight after a good practice session UK will try to utilize his strengths against the Cocks. (He had 13 pts in 16 minutes on Saturday) Kentucky secured a 105-96 victory against Georgia on Saturday but failed to cover as a 13.5-point favorite. South Carolina, a 2.5-point underdog, won 77-64 against Arkansas on the same day while covering the spread. Kentucky brings in one of the most talented teams in the nation and they have value on Tuesday. The Wildcats are built with such depth and we saw that in their latest game as they took down Georgia with a 105 point performance. This offense may be the best in the nation. Right now, they are averaging 91.6 ppg and they’ve scored under 80 points just once all season. They play with such speed and it’s a compliment of guys who can score in flurries. They had 5 players scoring in double figures against Georgia and they should find plenty of success once again here in South Carolina. This is going to be a case where South Carolina is just not built with enough firepower. While they’re off to a good start, they’ve sputtered in their start to SEC play at times. They’re only averaging 72.9 ppg which isn’t necessarily bad but it won’t be enough to compete with the Wildcats offense. Expect Kentucky to dictate the pace and put a ton of pressure on SC. This will be an overwhelming situation for the Gamecocks, who will struggle keeping up. This is a low number on just the better team. Trends, UK 7-2 ATS L9, 8-1 SU L9, 13-4 SU L17 vs. SC, and 4-1 SU L5 vs. SEC teams. On the other side SC are 1-7 ATS L8 games on a Tuesday at home, and 3-8 SU L11 in January. You know what to do.

Montana -1 Monday the Montana Grizzlies (12-6, 3-2 Big Sky, 7-2 HOME, 11-4 ATS) will host the Weber State Wildcats (12-7, 3-3 Big Sky, 3-4 AWAY, 8-8 ATS) at Dahlberg Arena, in Missoula, Montana, with the game starting at 9pm ET. The Grizzlies are the favored team by 1.5 points, and the over/under opened at 145.5. Montana has value here at home on Monday night. The Grizzlies come in the hotter team right now. Fresh off a road win over their rivals Montana State, they have now won 5 of their last 6 with the loss coming in overtime. During this stretch, they’ve scored under 80 points just 1 time and even then they dropped 76 points in a win. This team offensively is one of the most dangerous in the conference. They come in averaging nearly 80 ppg while they concede around the 71 point mark. Look for Aanen Moody to have a big game here. He's stepped up recently, producing performances of 16 and 19 in the last two contests. Overall, he’s putting up 15.4 ppg and has been the one to get this offense going. Weber State has dropped 3 of their last 4 overall and they just don’t have the offensive weapons that Montana produces. They’re going to struggle slowing the Grizzlies down and we should see Montana dictate the pace in this one. We’re getting the better team at a good number here. Trends, WST are 2-4 ATS L6, 2-4 SU L6 on the road, and 3-14 SU L17 on the road vs. Montana. MONT are 5-1 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 10-2 SU L12 at home, 14-3 L17 SU at home vs. Weber State, and lastly they're 4-1 L5 SU in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-22-24 | Cavs -1.5 v. Magic | 126-99 | Win | 100 | 9 h 51 m | Show | |
Cavs -1.5 Monday 7:00pm ET, the Cavaliers (25-15, 10-7 AWAY, 21-17-2 ATS) will face the Magic (23-20, 14-6 HOME, 28-15 ATS) at the Kia Center in Orlando, FL. Opening NBA betting odds -115 for Cleveland and -105 for the Magic, with a point spread of Cleveland -1. The Over/Under betting total is set at 215.5. The Magic are playing game 2 of a B2B. Cleveland beat Atlanta on Saturday 116-95. The Magic beat the Heat on Sunday 105-87. Both teams have similar points per game averages, with the Cavaliers averaging 113.7 PPG (ranked 20th) and the Magic averaging 111.7 PPG (ranked 25th). Cleveland comes come in as a team that has covered 6 of their L7, has limited teams to 102 points or less in 6 of their L7, they're average margin of victory in the L3 games is 26.3 PPG. The season series is tied 1-1. Cavs won game 1 121-111 DEC 6 in Ohio, then on DEC 11 in Orlando the Magic won 104-94. Cleveland is red hot right now and they come in with tons of momentum. The Cavs have won 7 in a row and they’ve done it with great play at both ends of the floor. After blowing out Milwaukee, they went into Atlanta and demolished the Hawks holding them to just 95 points. It was the third straight game Cleveland’s defense has held the opposition to under 100 points. Cleveland continues to be without Mobley and Garland, but that hasn’t hurt this team as of late. They’re getting contributions all around and the bench is stepping up in a big way. Merrill was the latest to step up as he put up 18 points vs. ATL. That’s what this team continues to do is get production from so many different players. The likes of Niang, Porter Jr., and LaVert all continue to make big plays. Cleveland had the edge here as Orlando has been inconsistent at times this year. While they’re playing above what anyone predicted, the Magic still haven’t found a consistent groove. They give up 110 ppg on average and we’ve seen their defense struggle at times with fast teams like the Cavs. Cleveland should have the edge in tempo and really put Orlando out of their comfort zone on Monday. Trends, CLE are 6-1 ATS L7, 7-0 SU L7, 5-1 SU L6 vs. Magic, and 6-0 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams. Magic are 2-5 SU L7. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-22-24 | Spurs v. 76ers -13.5 | 123-133 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Sixers -13.5 Monday night the (8-34, 5-18 AWAY, 20-22 ATS) Spurs visit the Philadelphia 76ers (28-13, 16-6 HOME, 27-14 ATS) for the first matchup between Embiid and Wemby. Tip off is at 7:10pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. Spurs come into this one losers of 8 of their last 9, while the Sixers come in hot looking for their 6th straight W. Spurs come in off a win last game out 131-127 over fellow basement dweller the Wizards. Sixers come in off of a 97-89 win over the Hornets on Saturday. Not bad for a team missing 5 impact players. Philadelphia is rolling right now. Winners of 5 in a row, they’re back to their dominating ways and this is such a lopsided matchup. They have the edge in every which way against the Spurs entering play on Monday night. The Spurs have been abysmal defensively. Phili will be able to win the battle both inside and out against the Spurs. Embiid continues to put up MVP like numbers as well. He’s averaging 35 ppg and 11.4 rebounds and he is in zone right now. Given the Spurs issues defensively, Embiid should be able to dictate just about everything offensively and even create some open shooting lanes for his outside threats. Philadelphia is also stepping things up defensively. If it wasn’t already hard enough for San Antonio, the 76ers allowed just 89 points last time out and they’re going to force a lot of Spurs turnovers. This is a Phili team in such a good rhythm right now and they’re going to pick apart the Spurs Monday night. PHI comes into this one 6th in the NBA in scoring at 119.5 PPG. Spurs are 22nd (112 PPG). Sixers 8th on defense 111 PPG, Spurs are 26th on defense 121.5 PPG. Sixers are a top 5 team in the league in steals and blocks. Injury report: PHI - Beverley (Prob) Bamba, Springer (?). SA - Collins (?), Cissoko OUT. Trends, Spurs are 1-4 SU L5, 2-4 ATS L6 vs. PHILI, 1-8 SU L9 vs. Phili, and 3-17 SU L20 on the road. 76ers are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 10-3 ATS L13 at home, 6-1 SU L7 vs. Spurs at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. WEST teams.

Wake Forest defeated Louisville 90-65 on Saturday, winning 3 of their last 5. North Carolina enters on an 8-game win streak, with their latest win at BC, 76-66 Saturday. We’re on this Over. This game should be extremely fast paced as both teams play quickly and have a lot of playmakers. Looking at Wake Forest first, they come in putting up 81.1 ppg. They love to get up and down the floor and aren’t shy about hoisting up shots early in the shot clock. Coming into Monday as a team, they’re shooting at a 47.7% clip too. Wake showed what they can do last time out as well, putting up a 90 spot on Louisville. On the other side, UNC is showcasing they are one of the best teams in the nation. The Tar Heels score 83.4 ppg themselves and they are getting contributions all around. Their ability to work the inside game has opened up a ton of shooting lanes for their outside threats too. This has the makings of a game where both teams are going to get up and down the floor, putting up some quick shots. Expect plenty of tempo, which benefits this Over tremendously. With the game expecting to be close too, free throws will also help us out as these two teams are two of the best in the conference from the line. Trends, the total has gone OVER in 8 of WF's L9, and 12 of their L14 on the road. Plus, WF has had the OVER hit in 6 of their L7 vs. ACC teams.

Rockets +11 On Sunday at 7pm ET, it's the Boston Celtics (32-10, 12-9 AWAY, 21-19-2 ATS) vs. Houston Rockets (20-21, 16-6 HOME, 20-19-2 ATS) at Toyota Center, Houston, TX. Opening odds: Moneyline NBA Odds - Celtics -357 | Rockets +290, NBA ATS Betting Odds - Celtics -10.5, Total: 231. Boston meets Houston for the second time this season. Boston won the first game 145-113 on January 13th. HOUSTON won on 3/13/23 111-109 covering +13. Boston's last game was a 100-102 loss to the Nuggets on Friday, while the Rockets, coming off a 127-126 OT win against the Jazz, play back-to-back. Houston excels at home with a 16-6 record. Rockets rank 21st offensively (113.0) and seventh defensively (112.5). Holiday & Horford are (?) to play today, Eason is OUT for HOU, and Bullock is (?). The Rockets have value here grabbing the points. Houston comes in with momentum as they took down the Jazz in overtime last night and now they return home catching a lot of points in this spot. Houston is a tricky team to deal with as they’re scrappy and can cause teams a lot of issues. They will force tough shots and can frustrate teams with their ability to close out on shooters. Boston is in a tricky spot here too. They fell to Denver last time out and then immediately after this have to jump on a plane to take on a Dallas team that is super tough. This has the making of a game where they overlook Houston. The Celtics may have an eye on tomorrow’s matchup more, which can allow Houston to keep this close. Boston will come out sluggish and this will be a game where Houston can steal some easy baskets and keep it close throughout. Trends, Celtics are 5-11 ATS L16 in JAN. HOU are 4-1 SU L5 at home.

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!

Kansas State -8.5 We’re backing the Wildcats here, laying the points at home. Oklahoma State has hit a snag and this team is reeling right now. The Cowboys have lost 4 straight games and the last 3 have been absolute blowouts where they stood no chance from the outset. Even in one of those games they managed just 42 points against Iowa State. The Cowboys have struggled mightily away from home and they take on a Wildcats team that has momentum. Kansas State defeated Baylor in overtime in a game that will certainly pad their resume. They have been a force on the defensive end all season long, conceding just 67.4 ppg. They’re force tough shots and so many turnovers and this will be a game where they can really frustrate the Cowboys from the outset. Kansas State is one of the best teams in the conference at forcing turnovers and having those result in easy transition buckets the other way. Look for a lopsided game here all night long.

St. John's +1.5 St. John’s returns home and they need the sight of their home court. They come in after catching fire, but then ran into two very tough road games. They return to their confines where they have had a ton of success. This team is built on depth and they’ll need that here. Rick Pitino may be back on the bench as well as he missed the Seton Hall game with COVID. The Red Storm need to get back to finding their consistency from the field. This team is at their best when they can find their rhythm early and that will turn their defense into offense for some easy baskets. They average nearly 78 ppg, which is still one of the best marks in the conference. Their 3 point shooting will also be a big key as they are one of the best at creating openings for their outside threats. Marquette has dropped 2 of 3 and they have had a couple issues at times away from home. They struggle finding their rhythm themselves early in away games and the Red Storm can use that to their advantage in this one. This is a big game for St. John’s to get back on track and right the ship. Look for them to come out firing in this one. Trends, MRQ 2-5 ATS L7 vs. STJ, 1-6 ATS L7 on the road vs. STJ.

Lakers -6.5 Friday night at 10:30pm ET from the Crypto.com Arena in LA its the Brooklyn Nets (16-24, 19-19-2 ATS, 6-14 AWAY) taking on the LA Lakers (22-21, 19-24 ATS, 16-7 HOME). These teams come in pretty even in the stats department. Lakers 18th (114 PPG) and 16th (115 PPG) in pts allowed. While Brooklyn is 19th (113 PPG) in scoring, and 17th (115 PPG) in pts allowed. Lakers have advantages on the defensive glass (3rd in the NBA) and in FG% (7th). The last time these two met was a 121-104 BRK win in Brooklyn on 1/30/23. Before that 11/13/22 a 116-103 LAL win. Los Angeles has figured some things out and they come in with momentum on Friday night. Los Angeles is winning games and they’re beating top teams even too now. They have beat the likes of the Thunder, Clippers, and even the Mavs as they continue to play some of their best basketball. They come in winners in back to back games and offensively they have things rolling. It was a 127 point performance last time out against the Mavs as they got contributions from a lot of different players. When they can get the likes of Russell or a Reaves stepping up to help Davis and Lebron, this team is extremely dangerous. They take on a Nets team that has had so many issues on both ends of the floor this year. The Nets give up nearly 116 ppg, while only scoring 113. Their offensive roll production has even gone down some this month as they have just been too inconsistent. With this being a case of two teams going in opposite directions, we’re getting good value on the Lakers here.Trends, the Nets are 1-11 ATS L12 road games vs. a team with a winning record. Plus they're 2-14-1 L17, 1-9 SU L10, 1-9 ATS L10 vs. WEST teams, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. Pacific DIV teams. Last one, the Nets are 1-9 ATS L10 playing on 1 day rest.

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 |

We’re on the Rockets here as they take on Central Michigan on Friday night. The Rockets have a clear cut advantage on both ends of the floor entering play. Looking at them offensively, they’re one of the most dangerous teams in the MAC. Toledo comes in averaging. 79.1 PPG and this team has shown the ability to light up the scoreboard inside and out. They’re led by Ra’Heim Moss, who has averaged 16.4 PPG this year. He’s off 18 and 24 point performances and should be able to find a lot of shooting lanes against this CMU side. The Chips give up near 74 PPG and have struggled with teams that play with this Toledo style. While they’ve been known for their offense in recent years, the Rockets are actually getting some good contributions on the defensive end. They’re off a 66 point performance against Buffalo and Central Michigan is not a dangerous offensive team. They only score 66.9 PPG and they have had issues with inconsistencies shooting from behind the arc. This is a nice line on the better team here. Trends, Toledo 5-0 SU L5, 5-0 SU L5 vs. CMU, 12-2 SU L14 on the road, and finally they're 19-1 L20 vs. MAC teams. CMU are 7-13 L20 ATS, are 1-5 ATS L6 when playing Toledo, and are 1-6 L7 playing on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Long Beach -2 Thursday at 10pm ET from the Walter Pyramid its Hawaii (10-7, 6-9 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) vs. LB State (11-7, 7-9 ATS, 4-1 HOME). Long Beach State has value laying a small number at home against the Rainbow Warriors on Thursday night. Long Beach State is going to welcome the site of their home court. They struggled in back to back road games and returning home is just what this team needs. LBSU’s offensive production should pick up here in this game. They average 80.7 ppg overall and those numbers tend to go up when they play at home. Messiah Thompson and Aboubacar Traore both will look to contribute what they did last time out as these two led the way for LBSU. This team is built to run and play with their depth. Long Beach State will lean on their speed and their ability to attack the rim. They will open up shooting lanes and should see a lot of production against a Hawaii defense that has had issues with teams that play with tempo. This is a good matchup for LBSU and their speed is just going to be too much for Hawaii in this one. Trends, UH 3-8 ATS L11, 2-5 SU L7, 3-6 ATS L9 vs. LBST. Lastly, UH are 3-7 L10 on the road vs. LBST. LBST is 8-3 SU L11, 6-1 SU L7 at home, and finally they're 7-3 ATS L10 playing on a Thursday @ home. I'm all over LB State on Thursday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-18-24 | Thunder v. Jazz +4 | 134-129 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Jazz +4 OKC (27-13, 26-13-1 ATS, 11-8 AWAY) take on the Jazz (22-20, 26-16 ATS, 15-5 HOME) tonight in Salt Lake City, UT. Last time these two met was 12/11/23, a 134-120 OKC win in OKC. OKC covered the -13, and the total went OVER the 236. Jazz opened as a 3pt dog in this one. One of the hottest teams in the Association is a 4-point dog AT HOME tonight. I can't let this one slide. Utah catches the Thunder in a nice spot here. Oklahoma City will be playing the third away game in four nights which is never an easy thing. They also have dropped the first two games of this trip and come in on a low. The Thunder have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NBA this year. Just when you think they’re going to take off, they take a few steps back. Utah also comes in red hot. Winners of 6 in a row, the Jazz are starting to right their ship with their ability to attack. They have demolished the opposition at times during this run with their a unity to play with so much speed. It’s overwhelming the opponents and Sexton has been the biggest spark to this team. Utah has also got Kris Dunn stepping up as it’s been the depth that’s helped them turn things around as well. Utah is just of a well rounded team as the Thunder and given the Thunder’s issues lately and their inconsistencies, the value sits with the home side. We might get lucky and have SGA take the night off as well. Last night's GSW game was postponed, so this isn't a B2B for Utah. This is OKC's 3rd road game in the L4 nights. Trends, UTAH 6-0 ATS L6, 6-0 SU L6, 9-0 SU L9 at home, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. WEST teams, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. NW Div. teams. Give me the Jazz on Thursday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-18-24 | Illinois -2.5 v. Michigan | 88-73 | Win | 100 | 21 h 32 m | Show | |
Illinois -2.5 8:30pm ET Thursday night from the Crisler Center it's Illinois (12-4, 10-5-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) taking on Michigan (7-10, 4-4 HOME, 6-11 ATS). The Fighting Illini have value here laying the small number on the road. We actually backed Michigan on Monday afternoon against Ohio State and they cashed in a game where they dominated on the defensive end. Ohio State has lost a lot of their hot start and seeing Illinois here will be a whole different level for the Wolverines. They’re also going to get a very fired up Illinois side after they were knocked off by Maryland last time out. Illinois is a team that is just so good on both ends of the floor. They average 81.7 ppg, while conceding just 67.4 ppg. They’ve been able to control the paint on each end of the floor as everyone this team will grab rebounds. Their ability to not allow second chances and to get second chances of their own is what makes them so tough to handle. Michigan hasn’t been able to build off any wins this season as inconsistencies have burned them. The Wolverines are going to struggle with the length and physicality of the Fighting Illini, who will put an emphasis on getting off to a quick start. Illinois are 10-1-1 L12, 10-3 SU L13, 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Michigan, and 6-0 SU L6 vs. Michigan. On the other side Michigan 1-6 ATS L7, 1-5 SU L6, 1-5 ATS L6 at home, 2-7 SU L9 vs. BIG 10 schools. I'm on the Illini Thursday night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-17-24 | Nets v. Blazers OVER 221 | 103-105 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 49 m | Show | |
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 |

01-17-24 | Auburn -11 v. Vanderbilt | 80-65 | Win | 100 | 11 h 37 m | Show | |
Auburn -11 Wednesday night Auburn (14-2, 10-6 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) taking on Vanderbilt Commodores (5-11, 7-9 ATS, 5-5 HOME) from the Memorial Gym in Nashville, TN. We’re on Auburn here, laying the points on Wednesday night. These are two teams just on different sides of the spectrum coming into play. Auburn has won 9 straight, most in dominant fashion. Vandy has dropped 3 straight entering play. Looking at Vanderbilt first, they’re a fade for a few reasons. They are one of the worst in the SEC on the offensive side, averaging just 68.1 ppg. Their inability to find consistency with their shooters has been costly and they struggle with turning the ball over. They have been far too careless with the basketball and the high pressure from the Tigers should result in many here. Vandy doesn’t have anyone that can really take a game over either. They lack that spark and that’ll be costly here. Auburn on the other hand has averaged 84.1 ppg. While their offense has been electric both inside and out, it’s really been the defense that has caused opposition issues. They concede just 65.7 ppg and they’re going to give Vanderbilt so many problems. Expect this game to be sloppy on Vandy’s side as they won’t be able to get many quality shots. Auburn should dominate the paint on both ends of the floor, resulting in a game that turns lopsided quickly. Trends, Auburn are 4-1 ATS L5, 9-0 SU L9, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. VANDY. Plus they're 5-0-1 L6 vs. SEC teams. Vandy are 1-7 SU L8, 0-6 L6 in JAN, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. SEC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-17-24 | Wolves v. Pistons OVER 221 | 124-117 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
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 |

01-17-24 | Florida State +7.5 v. Miami-FL | 84-75 | Win | 100 | 18 h 36 m | Show | |
Florida State +7.5 Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, FL, it's the FSU Seminoles (10-6, 9-6-1 ATS, 1-2 AWAY) vs. Miami Hurricanes (12-4, 9-6-1 ATS, 9-1 HOME). We’re on the Seminoles here, grabbing the points. Florida State and Miami always provide some crazy games as this rivalry gets renewed here on Wednesday in a matchup where we get an FSU team that is playing with a ton of confidence. They have won 4 straight and 6 of their last 7 as this team has started to click on all cylinders. The Noles average around the 76 PPG mark on the offensive side and defensively they’ve stepped things up. It’s been the timely stops and their ability to turn defense into offense that has made them so successful as of late. They will continue to lean on F Jamir Watkins, who is averaging 13.1 PPG. He seems to come up with some big shots and he has made everyone around him better. They matchup well with Miami, who has dropped 2 of 3, which includes an awful home loss to Louisville. This is a case of two teams trending in opposite directions right now. With this being a rivalry game too, expect a lot of pressure and physical play, in a game that should be close throughout. Trends, FSU 4-1 ATS L5, 6-1 SU L7, 5-2 ATS L7 vs. Miami, and 10-1 SU L11 vs. Miami. Miami are 2-6-1 L9 vs. ACC teams. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-17-24 | North Texas -3 v. East Carolina | 60-59 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
North Texas -3 Tonight at 7pm ET from the Williams Arena at Minges Coliseum in Greenville, NC we get the North Texas Mean Green (10-5, 1-1 AWAY, 8-4-1 ATS) taking on the ECU Pirates (9-8, 8-5 HOME, 7-8-1 ATS). The Mean Green put their 5 game winning streak on the line here and we’re backing them to extend that on Wednesday. North Texas should get a big boost for starters as G Rubin Jones is expected back in the lineup. He’s been out since January 4th and will provide a huge offensive boost. Prior to being out, he had put up double figures in 5 of the last 6 games. This North Texas offense has leaned on their defense this year. You won’t see the Mean Green putting up big numbers, but what they will do is find ways to turn defense into offense. They’re one of the best in the nation, allowing just 58.4 ppg. They close out on shooters so well and you won’t see opponents get many second chance opportunities. East Carolina is just too inconsistent to trust. They have struggled offensively and that will be a huge daunting task dealing with this NT defense on Wednesday. This will be a slow paced game, which favors North Texas. Look for them to wear down ECU and force them into turnovers and tough shots. Trends, NT are 4-1 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, and 6-0 SU L6 in JAN. ECU are 3-12 L15 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON!

San Jose State +3 At 10pm ET Tuesday night from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, CA, we get the San Jose State Spartans (8-9, 9-7 ATS, 1-5 AWAY) vs. the Fresno State Bulldogs (7-9, 5-10 ATS, 5-3 HOME). The Spartans are the move here as they take on a Fresno State team with so many issues. The Bulldogs only score 68.7 ppg which is one of the worst marks in the conference. They have struggled shooting the ball as a whole and they have zero consistency on this end of the floor. They’re the kind of team that can go cold at any moment and that has led them to having so many issues in games. The Spartans can really turn the pressure up and they come in with a lot of confidence. They came from behind to beat the Falcons last time out as they hit a buzzer beater 3 from the corner in a game they trailed late in. They’re a scrappy team and they can cause a lot of issues for the opposition on both ends of the floor. They give up just 72.1 ppg and they will close out on shooters, making things so tough on opposing outside threats. They’re going to turn defense into offense here as Fresno State struggles mightily taking care of the ball. San Jose State has more playmakers and they’re the better team overall. Fresno has been far too inconsistent to trust and they’re going to struggle against this defense. Trends, SJST is 4-1 ATS L5. On the other side, FRESNO is 2-5 ATS L7, 1-5 SU L6, 2-4 ATS L6 at home, and 0-6 L6 vs. MWC Conference teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-16-24 | Kings v. Suns -4 | 117-119 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Suns -4 3 game slate of NBA games tonight, but this one looks good. At 9:00pm ET at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ you get the Sacramento Kings (23-16, 21-18 ATS, 10-9 AWAY) taking on the Phoenix Suns (21-18, 14-24-1 ATS, 11-11 HOME). TV coverage on NBC SportsNet. This one opened with the Suns at -4, then it was bet up to -5, now it's back to -4, so we'll bite. If the last two games for the Suns are any indication of what this team can be, then they’re in store for a big run. Phoenix has slowly started to figure things out and the chemistry is coming as they enter this one after dominating the last two games on the offensive end. Phoenix put up 127 in each of their last two wins and now they take on a Kings team that has had it’s own issues on the defensive end. Sacramento has given up 117.7 PPG and they come in off a tough overtime loss to Milwaukee. This is a great matchup for the Suns, who are getting contributions now from many different players. Beal is one of the biggest keys and he’s looking for his third straight good game. Beal (18.2 ppg) put up 23 and 37 in the two wins and his contributions take so much pressure off the stars on this team. The Suns should be able to dictate a lot in this game and push the tempo on a Kings defense that struggles against the transition run. Phoenix is rolling in with the confidence they haven’t had and their ability to put together some flurries of points should be enough to overwhelm the Kings. Beal is back, and while he has only played in 15 of the first 39 games for PHX we have a good sample size now of what he can do, along with Booker and Durant, and Nurkic. They match up well with Fox & Sabonis. This will be the Kings' last game on their road trip, and they come in off a loss on Sunday 143-142 to Milwaukee. Suns come in winners of two straight (127-109 over LAL, and 127-116 over PDX on Sunday). Suns have lost the L4 to SAC so there's some quadruple revenge angle here too! (LOL) They haven't beaten the Kings since 2/14/23. A 120-109 win. Trends, PHX are 7-3 SU L10, and 10-4 L14 in JAN, plus, the Suns are 5-1 ATS in their L6 home games after a 7+ day road trip. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-16-24 | Kent State -3.5 v. Northern Illinois | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 18 h 25 m | Show | |
Kent State -3.5 Tip off is 8pm from the Convocation Center in DeKalb, IL. We get Kent State (8-8, 1-4 AWAY, 5-9 ATS) vs. NIU (6-10, 5-9 ATS, 3-4 HOME) on Tuesday night. We’re on Kent here, laying the points on Tuesday. This is the kind of game that will get Kent going. The Golden Flashes have had a few injuries, but this team has looked abysmal as of late after being projected a top team in the MAC. Still, they have the playmakers and are the better overall team. Kent needs to lean on their inside game to start. Chris Payton Jr is a force inside and comes in averaging 14.7 ppg to go along with 8.7 rebounds. He’s the one that gets this offense going as he is extremely aggressive inside. They need to play through him and they will in this one as the Huskies have struggled in the paint. NIU has struggled as a whole defensively. They concede nearly 80 points per game on the defensive end and their issues stem all around. Kent can shoot the 3 and they’re just a streaky team overall. They should find some open shots on Tuesday night and can get their shooters going early. Kent is still the much better team and we’re getting a good number on them. Trends, KST 12-4 SU L16 vs. NIU, 11-4 SU L15 vs. MAC teams. On the other side, NIU 0-9 ATS L9, 0-6 SU L6, 1-4 ATS L5 at home, and 0-5 ATS L5 vs. MAC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-16-24 | Samford +2 v. Western Carolina | 75-71 | Win | 100 | 16 h 4 m | Show | |
Samford +2 Tuesday at 6pm ET from the Ramsey Center in Cullowhee, NC. It's the Samford Bulldogs (15-2, 10-5 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) taking on the Western Carolina Catamounts (13-2, 9-4 ATS, 5-0 HOME). Samford is the #1 offense in the Nation at 91.5 PPG, while WCU are 46th on DEF at 65.5 PPG. The last time these two played was 2/1/23, a 85-77 SAM win. This crucial Southern Conference battle pins the top two teams in the conference against one another. Samford lost their first two games of the season and since then rattled off 15 straight wins. They’ve done it with just stellar offense as they play with so much pace and have so many different playmakers. Coming into Tuesday, Samford is averaging 91.5 ppg which is one of the best marks in the entire country. They scored a ridiculous 134 points in regulation last time out against VMI in a game where they scored 72 points in the first half. They are led by forward Achor Achor, who has averaged 15.5 ppg to go along with 5.8 rpg. He’s the spark and should have a field day against this WCU defense. Offensive production is going to be the difference. Compared to the 91.5 points Samford averages, WCU only puts up 76.3 ppg. Samford should be able to dictate the pace and really overwhelm Western Carolina. The weapons they have and the ability to attack the rim and shoot the 3 are just going to be too much to overcome in this spot. Trends, SAM is 9-0 ATS L9, 10-0 SU L10, 4-1 ATS L5 vs. WCU, and 11-2 SU L13 vs. Southern CONF. teams. Lastly, the Bulldogs are 9-0 L9 as a favorite, and are 9-0 ATS L9 following a win.

01-15-24 | Pacers v. Jazz -7 | 105-132 | Win | 100 | 10 h 21 m | Show | |
Jazz -7 MLK Day and at 7:10pm ET the Jazz (21-20, 14-5 HOME, 25-16 ATS) host the Pacers (23-17, 23-16-1 ATS, 10-9 AWAY) from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT. Going back to the well again with the JAZZ here on MLK day. This will be my 3rd play in a row on them. I feel like I'm really dialed in on the Jazz right now. Haliburton is still out, and the Pacers are on G2 of a B2B. They lost to DVR last night 117-109. Utah is red hot right now and has value here against a Pacers team that has a lot of question marks. Utah finished the 2023 calendar year winning 4 of their last 5 and took that momentum right into 2024 since the beginning of the year, they have gone 7-1 with the lone loss coming against the Celtics. During this run, they’ve scored no less than 120 points in every win here in 2024. They’ve found their ability to play with a ton of pace and they’re getting so many different contributions. Markkanen and Sexton have been the spark and everyone has seemed to feed off them. The duo combined for 56 points in the latest win over the Lakers and they should have plenty of success against this Pacers defense. Indiana gives up 123.2 PPG which is one of the worst marks in the league. They have struggled slowing teams down in transition and their inability to close out on shooters has costed them a lot. Utah’s speed is going to be too much for the Pacers. Indiana allows a lot of 2nd chance points and with how quick the Jazz play, they aren’t shy about hitting the offensive boards either. This will be a struggle for Indiana, especially running into a hot team like Utah at this moment. This will be a revenge spot as well, given the Pacers took it to the Jazz earlier this season. These two teams are in much different spots coming into play here. Some trends to note, IND is 5-11 L16 SU on the road vs. Utah, and 3-12 SU L15 vs. NORTHWEST div teams. The Jazz are 5-0 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 11-5 SU L16 at home vs. IND, and are 6-2 ATS L8 vs. EAST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Bulls +3.5 MLK Day matchup starts at 7:10pm ET. It's the Chicago Bulls (19-22, 20-20-1 ATS, 6-12 AWAY) taking on the Cleveland Cavaliers (22-15, 18-17-2 ATS, 13-8 HOME). The venue is Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH. We’re backing the Bulls here as they have value grabbing points against Cleveland. Chicago heads into Cleveland with momentum. They’ve won 4 of their last 5 and they’ve done it with their ability to score in flurries. Chicago has 7 players score in double figures in their latest win over San Antonio and they have lived off their depth this season. They continue to get different guys stepping up each night as they play with a ton of tempo and share the ball as good as any team in the league. Overall, the Bulls offensively put up around 111 ppg, but that number has increased as of late. During this latest stretch, they’ve had performances of 119, 124, and 122. Cleveland has played well lately, but they’re still battling injuries themselves. On top of that, this is a let down spot for them. They come back from Paris after beating the Nets and we could see some lag and fatigue from them. Chicago is a physical side that won’t shy away from coming right at Cleveland. Look for a game where the Bulls win the battle in the paint and they shut Mitchell down with their ability to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive side. Trends, Cavs are 1-5 ATS L6 Monday games. On the other side the Bulls are 13-7 ATS L20, 4-1 SU L5, and 4-2 L6 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-15-24 | Warriors -7.5 v. Grizzlies | 107-116 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 47 m | Show | |
Warriors -7.5 MLK Day NBA hoops betting action. Tonight at 6pm ET we get the Warriors (18-21, 19-20 ATS, 7-10 AWAY) on the road taking on the suddenly shorthanded Grizzlies (14-25, 16-23 ATS, 3-15 HOME). (No Bane, No JA) The Warriors recently faced a tough stretch, losing 7 of 10, while the Grizzlies suffered 2 consecutive losses. They are set to meet for the first of 3 this season. Golden State has been the biggest disappointment here in the 23-24 NBA season, but this has the makings of a game that can start to turn things around for them. Today is the highly anticipated comeback of Draymond Green. Green had a lot of issues to work out, but him returning is a huge piece. He’s a force on the defensive end and he has the ability to be another scoring threat for this Warriors side. Golden State should find a lot of success against this Memphis defense. The Griz give up 113.4 PPG and come in on a low after losing back to back games. Memphis has been far too inconsistent and their inability to find offensive firepower has been a struggle. The Grizzlies are going to struggle against a fast Warriors team that should be amped up for this one with Green back. Look for GSW to run and get back to their old ways, as they’re at their best when they attack early and crash the boards. Memphis has struggled on the glass and the Warriors can expose that here. This is a mismatch every which way you look at it. The weapons the Warriors have are going to step up and be too much to overcome. For Memphis they're injury-plagued, and are going to see daily changes in their starting lineup. Stay updated with injury reports. These two last met on 3/18/23 a 133-119 MEM win. Trends, GSW are 21-9 on MLK day, and the Warriors 6-3 ATS L9 in JAN. Grizz 3-7 ATS L10, 0-5 ATS L5 at home, 2-6 SU L8 vs. PACIFIC div teams. Grizz are also 0-7 ATS L7 as a home dog, and 0-5 ATS L5 at home vs. teams with a losing road record. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

Michigan +1.5 MLK Day at 12:00pm ET from the Crisler Center its the Ohio State Buckeyes (11-4, 5-10 ATS, 0-2 AWAY) taking on the Michigan Wolverines (6-10, 5-11 ATS, 3-4 HOME) in B10 hoops action. Michigan and Ohio State battle on this MLK Day afternoon and we’re backing the Wolverines here at home. Michigan has been a major disappointment thus far and they need to right things quickly before it’s too late. A home date with their arch rivals is just what this team needs. The Wolverines were without leading scorer Dug McDaniel last time out as he was serving game 1 of a road suspension for academic reasons. He will be available Monday since this is a home game he’ll provide a huge boost for the Wolverines. He has averaged 17.8 ppg this year and his ability to take over can change a game quickly. He's going to be the key ignitor here as he will look to get things going for a team that feeds off his energy. Ohio State has dropped back to back games and they’re starting to question some things themselves. The Buckeyes struggled offensively in losses to Indiana and Wisconsin and they’re going to run into a Michigan side that will be playing with high pressure on the defensive end. This is going to be a grind type of game, but Michigan needs a win and they’re going to feed off the home crowd. They matchup well with the Buckeyes, who have a lot of issues on the offensive end. Trends, OST are 1-4 ATS L5, 0-11 SU L11 on the road, and 0-5 ATS L5 vs. B10 schools. MICH are 5-1 SU L6 Monday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS 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 |

01-14-24 | Washington v. UCLA | 61-73 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Washington PK -110 We’re backing the Huskies on the ML on Sunday night against the Bruins. UCLA has gone from bad to just plain embarrassing. The Bruins have dropped 4 straight with the latest being an embarrassing 90-44 loss to Utah. A once predicted top team has fallen completely off and are now in turmoil as they enter play on Sunday. It hasn’t mattered if it’s home or away, they’re losing and playing some ugly basketball right now. The Bruins only averaged 64.2 ppg, which is one of the worst marks for a power 5 school. They have no rhythm and have been unable to find any sort of consistency. Washington comes in winners of 2 in a row and have put up performances of 79 and 82 in their wins. The Huskies put up 81.7 ppg themselves, which has come from both the inside game and out. They’re putting up big numbers and it’s Keion Brooks Jr. who is leading the way right now. He’s averaging 20.6 ppg and has been the ignition to this offense. The Huskies have the edge in every which way and will be able to dictate a lot here against a reeling Bruins team. Trends, UW are 6-3 SU L9, UCLA are 2-8 ATS L10, 1-8 SU L9, 0-5 ATS L5, and 0-5 ATS L5 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-13-24 | Lakers v. Jazz +1.5 | 125-132 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Utah +1.5 LA Lakers (20-20, 17-23 ATS, 6-13 AWAY) take on the Utah Jazz (20-20, 24-16 ATS, 13-5 HOME) on Saturday night. This one tips off at 9:40pm ET from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT. Hard to bet against Utah right now, even on the 2nd night of a B2B. They come into this matchup on absolute fire. Clarkson, Dunn, Collins, Fontecchio, Sexton, and Markkanen are really playing at the top of their games right now. Clarkson in particular is on FIRE. 20.7 PPG on 48.9% shooting in his L7. Utah has been showcasing their talent recently with a 14-4 ATS record at home, the league's best home covering rate, plus UTAH have consistently scored a minimum of 120 PPG in their L4. No injury woes for UTAH, for LAL, LeBron, Davis, Russell, Wood and Reddish are all ? tonight. Jazz come into this one Top 10 in the league in FG ATT per game, 3-PT ATT per game, FT%, Assists per game, OFF boards per game, DEF boards per game, TOT. REB per game, and block per game. Plus, in the 4th qtr of games they really clamp down, and are the 5th best defensive 4th qtr team. They're also 4-0 L4 games they've played on 0 days rest. The last time these two met was 11/21/23. A Lakers 131-99 win. That was a much different UTAH team than the one we have now, and one could argue this is a vastly different LAL team too. They've had the Jazz's number for a while, but that changes tonight. Trends, LAL 1-5 ATS L6, 4-10 SU L14, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. UTAH, and 1-4 SU L5 vs. WEST teams. Utah are 10-2 ATS L12, 7-1 SU L8, and 7-0 L7 at home. Jazz have won 4 straight and 11/14. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-13-24 | Wizards +8 v. Hawks | 127-99 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Wizards +8 They last met on 12/31/23 a 130-126 ATL win. I was hoping to get ATL +8.5 waiting on this line to keep moving in our favor, but +8 it is. Atlanta Hawks (15-22, 9-28 ATS, 1-3 ATS L4) vs. Washington Wizards (6-31, 17-18-2 ATS, 11-9-1 ATS AWAY) from the State Farm Arena Saturday in Atlanta, GA. Tip is set for 7:30 p.m. ET. The Hawks do lead the season series 3-0 so far this year, but the Wizards have covered 2/3. I'm on the Wizards tonight vs. the Hawks. WSH have lost 6 straight but are 3-3-1 ATS L7. Hawks on the 2nd night of a B2B. Washington has value here grabbing points. The Hawks are just too tough to trust on the defensive end. They come in averaging 124 PPG against, which is one of the worst marks in the entire league. They struggle to stop teams that play quick and this has the makings of a game that should see a lot of pace. Atlanta allowed 126 points last time out to the Pacers and that’s been a norm for them as they have struggled to keep teams under that 120 mark. That’s a recipe for disaster, especially against a Wizards team that is so young and plays with so much speed. Washington has been in both of their last two games against good teams down to the wire. They will find a ton of success in transition tonight and should be able to get some easy buckets at the rim. This is just too many points in a spot where Atlanta boasts such a bad defense. The Hawks are the worst team in the association ATS at home. Wizards 3-2-2 ATS L7 on the road. Hawks 4-16 ATS L20, 3-7 SU L10, 2-12 ATS L14, and 1-8 SU L9 vs. EAST teams. You know what to do here. Back the Wizards, play it small. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-13-24 | St. Mary's -5 v. Santa Clara | 73-49 | Win | 100 | 17 h 15 m | Show | |
St. Mary’s -5 We’re on the Gaels Saturday night as they head into Santa Clara. This is a huge let down spot for Santa Clara and the Gaels are not the team you want to see in this kind of position. The Broncos had lost 21 straight to Gonzaga before a last second bucket defeated them a few days ago. Now, they have to flip gears real quick against a St. Mary’s team that plays a totally different style. Going from track meet kind of game to the slow tempo the Gaels play is going to be so tough to adjust to. St. Mary’s scores 72 ppg, but it’s what they do on the defensive end that is so impressive. The Gaels only allow 59.1 ppg, which is one of the best marks in the nation. They slow things down and don’t allow anything easy at the rim. Their ability to close out on shooters and not allow 2nd chance points is the biggest key to their success. This will be the kind of game the Broncos come out flat. After such a huge win, they’re going to struggle mightily with the physical nature this Gaels team plays with. Look for a slow paced game where Santa Clara is frustrated all night. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-13-24 | Kentucky +2.5 v. Texas A&M | 92-97 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 18 m | Show | |
Kentucky +2.5 The Wildcats have the value on Saturday. Road conference games are always tough. This is a nice spot for the Wildcats as they matchup well with A&M. Kentucky has built quite the resume already as they’ve had to go on the road, win some tough games, and they’ve also stood tall against just about everyone en route to being number 6 in the nation. They demolished Missouri at home, after going into Florida and winning in a game they trailed for a majority of it. That matchup from Florida has a similar feel to this game and the Wildcats can learn from that win against the Gators. Kentucky comes in averaging 90.7 points per game, which is one of the best marks in the nation. They have so many playmakers that can come at the opposition from so many different angles. Texas A&M has dropped back to back games, with one of those coming at home to LSU. They’re vulnerable in this arena and the Wildcats are the better team overall. A&M only puts up 73 ppg and they don’t have the firepower to matchup in this one. Kentucky hasn’t scored less than 80 during their current win streak and they should be able to pass that mark once again on Saturday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-12-24 | Raptors v. Jazz -2 | 113-145 | Win | 100 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
Jazz -2 Friday night the (15-23, 23-16 ATS) Raptors take on the (19-20, 20-18 ATS) Jazz at 9:30pm ET from the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, UT. The current season marks the first meeting between these two teams, whereas the Jazz claimed wins in both matchups last season. Last game out the Jazz faced the Nuggets, clinching a 124-111 win Wednesday. Impressively, they boast a stellar 9-2 record ATS in their L11, including a 3-1 ATS performance in their 4 recent home games. (All this after losing 16 of their first 23) Utah's dominance extends further with 6 wins in their L7. On the flip side, the Toronto Raptors faced a setback, going down to the Clippers 126-120 Wednesday. They have proven to be a strong ATS team, flaunting a 5-1 record in their last 6. Clarkson, Dunn, Collins, Fontecchio, Sexton, and Markkanen are really playing at the top of their games right now. Clarkson in particular is on FIRE. 20.7 PPG on 48.9% shooting in his L6. He was 12/19 vs. DEN, w/ 3x 3's. Regrettably for Toronto, one of their key big men, Poeltl, will be OUT, significantly impacting their presence in the paint and playing time. Siakam's availability remains uncertain, although it appears unlikely that he will miss this crucial matchup. Utah has been showcasing their talent recently with a 13-4 ATS record at home, the league's best home covering rate, plus UTAH have consistently scored a minimum of 120 PPG in their L3. I don't feel like TOR has the bench depth to hang with UTAH in this one. If you're giving guys like Temple, Porter, and Young valuable minutes there's something not right. Another trade is on the horizon I feel like. Trends, TOR are 6-13 SU L19, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. UTAH, and 1-6 SU L7 vs. UTAH. The Jazz are 9-2 ATS L11, 6-1 SU L7, 6-0 SU L6 at home, and are 7-1 ATS L8 vs. ATLANTIC div. teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-12-24 | Kings +1.5 v. 76ers | 93-112 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Kings +1.5 Friday, Sacramento (23-14, 10-7 AWAY, 20-17 ATS) face the 76ers (23-13, 13-6 HOME, 23-13 ATS) at the Wells Fargo Center, 7:30 pm ET tip-off on ESPN. The Kings are on a hot streak, winning their last 2 games. Sacramento has been impressive, winning 6 of their last 8 games and boasting a 10-7 record on the road, with a perfect 4-0 in their last four away matchups. They've scored 123+ in 5 of their last 7. After suffering a 33-point defeat against the Pelicans, the Kings rebounded strongly with a 21-point W over the Pistons and a convincing 123-98 win against the Hornets on Wednesday. In contrast, the 76ers have struggled recently, losing 4 of their last 5, including 3 straight losses. The absence of Embiid due to a knee injury has added to their woes. The 76ers have been inconsistent at home, holding a 1-2 record in their last 3 home games. Their latest setback was a 139-132 loss to the Hawks Wednesday, marking their 3rd consecutive defeat. With no Embiid I'm not sure the Sixers have anyone to slow down Sabonis. (who was on fire last game - 24 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists.) Enjoy the challenge of containing Sabonis Phili! He's proven to be one of the most dependable big men in the NBA, boasting an impressive streak of 20 consecutive games with either a double-double or a triple-double, achieving the latter feat on 8 occasions. Dude has averaged 24 PPG on 65% shooting, 14 boards & 9 ass. over 36 MPG L10. Over the Philadelphia 76ers' recent eight-game stretch, during which they've been without Embiid, they've plummeted to the lowest defensive rebounding percentage in the league. Philadelphia's struggle on the boards is evident, and in tonight's matchup, I'd lean towards the Kings. Trends, Kings 4-1 SU L5, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, 5-1 L6 SU vs. EAST teams. PHI 1-4 ATS L5, 1-4 SU L5, 2-5 ATS L7 in JAN. Expect Sacramento to capitalize on second-chance opportunities, and I'd take the Kings to cover the +1.5 spread. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-12-24 | Dayton +1.5 v. Duquesne | 72-62 | Win | 100 | 22 h 58 m | Show | |
Dayton +1.5 On Friday Dayton (12-2) take on Duquesne (9-5) at the UPMC Cooper Fieldhouse in Pittsburgh, PA. The Flyers are underdogs at +101 ML odds, while the Dukes are favored at -124. ATS odds slightly favor Duquesne at -1.5. With an estimated total of 138.5 points. The Flyers have value here grabbing a small number on Friday night. Dayton has a chance with a couple more wins to crash the Top 25 as they sit with 12 wins already on the year. The Flyers have won 9 in a row and in that stretch, they have not allowed more than 70 points. It’s been an impressive run where Dayton has suffocated shooters and not allowed anything easy at the rim. They’ve controlled the paint on both sides of the floor and they are going to dictate a lot here in this matchup with Duquesne. The Dukes have dropped back to back conference games to start their conference play run and they’ve had issues finding offensive consistency. They have put up just 61 and 67 points in those losses and they’re struggling to get someone to step up when needed. Dayton should be able to frustrate the Dukes from the outset. Look for them to play with a ton of pressure and force turnovers. The Flyers only give up 64.7 ppg, which is one of the best marks not just in the conference, but in the nation. Trends, Dayton are 9-0 SU in their L9, and are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Duquesne, plus they're 9-1 SU in their L10 vs. Duquesne. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Knicks -4 Thursday the Mavericks (22-16, 11-8 HOME, 21-17 ATS) play the Knicks (22-15, 11-11 AWAY, 21-15-1 ATS) at the American Airlines Center, in Dallas TX. Tip off is at 8:30pm ET. The Knicks are doing well, having won their last 5 games. They beat the Trail Blazers 112-84 last Tuesday. The Knicks have now covered 5 straight. (Including the last 2 on the road, they're 20-15-2 ATS this season). The Mavs just lost their last game. They were beaten 120-103 by the Grizzlies, also Tuesday, before that loss they had won three in a row. The Mavs have however won both games this season between these two. Including a 126-121 OT win a couple weeks ago. BIG news out of Dallas for this one of course is the fact that Luca Doncic is OUT for this one. Mavs are 1-3 SU without him, and 2-2 ATS. IF Exum, Lively, and Williams (all ?) are all out too this could be really bad for DAL. At least Irving is back. For NY it has to be said they must feel right now like they've won the trade for Anunoby. He's really acclimating to his new team, and they're getting exactly what they traded for. Since New York traded for him, they've won all 5 games (ATS and SU) OG has def. made a difference on the defensive end for NY. Since he joined NY they're only now allowing 97.4 PPG. He scores an average of 14.2 points per game and has a success rate of 45.5% in three-point shots. Additionally, he gets 5 rebounds, makes 1 assist, and blocks 1.4 shots in each game. Importantly, he has a positive impact on his team's performance. Dallas native Randle comes home for this one, and he always has big games in Big D. Expect more of the same tonight. 1-last thing. This will be Brunson's first game back at AAC since leaving for NY. I'm pretty sure he'll be up for this one too! Trends, New York are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. DAL, and 6-0 ATS L6 playing DAL in DAL. NY are 5-1 ATS L6 in JAN too. Mavs are 1-5 ATS L6 vs. Atlantic DIV teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-11-24 | South Alabama v. James Madison -12.5 | 55-89 | Win | 100 | 8 h 16 m | Show | |
James Madison -12.5 The James Madison Dukes (11-6, 2-2 Sun Belt, 10-5 ATS) take on the South Alabama Jaguars (7-9, 1-3 Sun Belt, 8-6 ATS) at Mitchell Center, in Mobile, AL, beginning at 8:00pm ET Thursday. It's a nice Sun Belt conference clash. The Dukes are favored by 12.5 points against the Jaguars. After suffering their first loss of the season last time out, the Dukes are going to bounce back here in a big way. It was one of those games team’s just couldn’t avoid. James Madison couldn’t get over the hump, while Southern Miss made everything in sight. Returning home is going to be a nice sight to see here for the Dukes who have dominated in this building. James Madison has won all but one home game by 15 or more points. This team still is one of the best in the Sun Belt as they are scoring nearly 89 PPG. That’s even one of the top marks in the nation as they continue to put up impressive numbers. This team shoots at nearly 49% from the field and they’re hitting the 3 at 35% this season. The way and style they play is just going to be far too much for South Alabama. They fell by 14 in their latest contest and this team doesn’t have the firepower to keep up. They give up 76 PPG and this is going to be one of the more high flying attacks they’ll have seen this season. Look for James Madison to run and even take out a little frustration from their last game. This has the makings of a big blow out bounce back win for the Dukes. Trends, South Alabama are 1-6 SU in their L7 JAN games, and are 1-4 SU L5 played on a Thursday when playing on the road. James Madison are 5-1 ATS in their L6, 13-1 SU L14, 7-0 SU L7 at home, and 12-4 SU L16 vs. Sun Belt teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Cavs -2.5 2pm ET from Accor Arena in Paris, France we get the Brooklyn Nets (16-21) taking on the (21-15) Cleveland Cavaliers. We’re on the Cavs as they take on the Nets in Paris on Thursday afternoon. Cleveland and Brooklyn travel overseas and we’re backing the better team who comes in playing much better. Brooklyn has dropped 3 of 4 to start the 2024 calendar year and this team has a lot of gaps. They are only averaging 114.9 ppg, while conceding 116.6. They’ve struggled to find any sort of consistency and the supporting cast for Mikel Bridges has been a rollercoaster each night. The Nets don’t have the speed or the firepower to keep up with Cleveland. The Cavs have won 3 straight and despite missing two top players in Mobley and Garland, they continue to put up big numbers. Mitchell has made everyone around him better and Jared Allen is playing at an All-Star caliber level. Cleveland only gives up 111 ppg themselves as they make things so difficult for opposing teams, especially in the paint. Allen has been a force at the rim and he should dictate the paint in this matchup. Cleveland is playing better and they have the better athletes. Lay the number in this spot. Trends, Nets 1-7 ATS L8, 1-6 SU L7, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams. On the other side the Cavs are 8-3 SU L11, 4-2 ATS L6 vs. EAST teams, and 4-2 SU L6 in JAN. IN Cleveland, or in Paris, doesn't matter, I'm on the Cavs on Thursday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Ohio State -1.5 Wisconsin (11-3, 3-0 Big Ten, 1-2 AWAY, 7-6-1 ATS) faces Ohio State (12-3, 2-2 Big Ten, 7-1 HOME, 5-9 ATS) Wednesday at Columbus, OH's Value City Arena, with an 8:30 p.m. ET tip-off on the Big Ten Network. Ohio State is -125 on the moneyline, -1.5 (-110) ATS, and the total is 139.5. The Badgers enter with a four-game win streak after a tough 98-73 loss to Arizona on December 9. Ohio State aims to rebound from a 71-65 road loss to the Hoosiers, ending their four-game win streak and 3-1 ATS run. The Buckeyes boast a seven-game home winning streak. This game holds a revenge factor as Wisconsin secured a 65-60 win in Columbus on February 2, 2023. Ohio state has value, laying the small number at home on Wednesday. The Buckeyes are the better team and this is a nice number to get. They led Indiana late in the 2nd half, but folded on Saturday in a game they really should have won. This is a chance to get a quick bounce back and they can use what they learned from that loss and apply it here. Wisconsin plays a slow game and the Buckeyes have to be better at controlling the boards. Ohio State is one of the best in the conference on the defensive side, giving up just 65 ppg. They’re going to get Wisconsin out of their comfort zone a bit and try to pick up the tempo. The Buckeyes have played much better at home as well, adding to this value. This will be the kind of game where Ohio State needs both Guards Bruce Thornton and Roddy Gayle Jr to step up. After their poor shooting performance last time out, these two need to get going early. A quick start from them will get the supporting cast going and should lead to this Buckeyes side dictating a lot in this game. Trends, Wisconsin are 2-5 ATS in their L7 on the road, and 2-1 ATS L13 in JAN. On the other side, Ohio State are 10-2 SU in their L12, 6-0 SU L6 at home, 5-0 L5 WED. games, and lastly are 4-0 ATS in their L4 following a straight up loss. You know what to do. Hop ON!

In terms of their previous encounters, the teams split two games last season. The Rockets (have lost 5 of their last 8) are coming off a 120-113 loss to the Heat on Monday, while the Bulls are on a winning streak, having defeated the Hornets 119-112 in overtime on the same day. Both teams are dealing with injury setbacks; the Rockets will be without Dillon Brooks and Eason, while the Bulls are missing key players, including Ball, Craig, LaVine, and Williams. Rockets are tough on D, we all know that, but the Bulls aren't a team that gives possessions away either, 3rd lowest turnover rate in the league. I expect White & Drummond to continue to be big contributors in this one, the Bulls are getting as much as they can out of these two right now. Trends, HOU are 2-4 ATS L6 vs. CHI, 3-11 SU L14 on the road, 2-6 ATS L8 vs. Central DIV teams. The Bulls are 14-5 ATS L19, and 6-1 ATS L7 vs. SOUTHWEST div. teams.

01-10-24 | North Carolina v. NC State +3.5 | 67-54 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show | |
NC State +3.5 Wednesday night at 8pm from the PNC Arena in Raleigh, NC, we get a nice ACC hoops matchup between the North Carolina Tar Heels (11-3, 8-6 ATS, 2-0 AWAY, 3-0 ACC) and the NC State Wolfpack (11-3, 7-7 ATS, 8-0 HOME, 3-0 ACC). North Carolina faces NC State in a game with odds favoring North Carolina at -184 on the moneyline, while NC State is at +152. NC State has an ATS advantage of +4.5 (-110) (Opening), with a total Over/Under set at 154.5 points. Both teams share an identical overall record and conference mark. NC State recently defeated Virginia 76-60 and holds an 8-0 SU and 5-3 ATS record at home this season. Meanwhile, UNC is on a four-game winning streak with road victories against Pittsburgh and Clemson. These two played 2x last year. 2/19/23 an NCST 77-69 home win. Plus, on 1/21/23 a 80-69 a UNC home win. North Carolina and Nc State both come in red hot entering play. We’re getting a good number on the home side, that plays really well in this building. The Wolfpack have rattled off 4 straight wins and have cashed in 7 of their last 8 overall. This team has done just about everything right as they’re getting production all around from many different players. Coming into play here, they’re averaging 77.7 ppg, while conceding just 68. Those numbers are impressive given the schedule they’ve had to deal with too. DJ Horne has stepped up and been the igniter, as he comes in off a 14 point performance in the win over Virginia. His ability to attack the rim and shoot the 3 (42.9% this season) has been a huge difference maker. North Carolina State always plays the top team in the ACC tough. The difference here is that they’re now going to be right up there with those teams this year. Look for them to play a physical game and really put their focus on controlling the paint. If they can win the battle inside, it’s going to be a long night for the Tar Heels. Grab the points in a matchup that’s pretty even. Trends, UNC are 4-8 ATS L12 WED. games. NCST 7-1 SU L8, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 6-3 ATS L9 vs. ACC teams, and 7-1 ATS L8 WED games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-09-24 | Kings -11 v. Pistons | 131-110 | Win | 100 | 17 h 44 m | Show | |
Kings -11 The Pistons (3-33, 14-21-1 ATS, 2-14 HOME) face the Kings (21-14, 8-7 AWAY, 18-17 ATS) at Little Caesars Arena, in Detroit, at 7:00 PM ET. The Kings are -10.5 favorites to open, ML odds favor SAC at -572, while DET stands at +415. The over/under is set at 242.5 points. Desperate for a win, the Pistons aim to snap their 4-game losing streak. In contrast, the Kings rank 8th in scoring, averaging 117.7 PPG. DET's defense ranks 26th, allowing 122.6 PPG. Offensively, the Pistons are the 25th-ranked team, averaging 111.5 PPG, while the Kings allow an average of 118 PPG, placing them 22nd in defense. The Kings are going to pick apart this Detroit defense from start to finish. The Pistons have obviously been just awful all season long and they have any just so many issues on the defensive end. Things have found a way to get even worse as of late. In their past 4 games, they’re conceding on average 134 ppg. They’re not stopping anyone and opposing teams are running wild on them with transition buckets. The Kings are one of the quickest teams and in their latest home stand, they put up over 130 points twice. Sacramento is built to play with a ton of pace and they’re going to overwhelm the Pistons here on Tuesday night. Look for Sacramento to get out and run, as Detroit won’t have an answer for their quick shots both inside and behind the arc. This is just a complete mismatch and the Kings will showcase that from the opening tip. There's nothing I enjoy doing more than picking no the Pistons, and we're going back to the well here on Tuesday. Trends, SAC boasts a 4-2 SU record in their L6, including a 5-2 SU performance against Detroit. On the road against DET, SAC holds a solid 4-1 ATS record. They've also got a 9-3 SU record vs. Central DIV teams. In contrast, Detroit has struggled, with just 1 win in their 20 games, going 1-19 SU. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-09-24 | Houston -2.5 v. Iowa State | 53-57 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Cougars -2.5 Houston (14-0, 1-0 Big 12, 9-5 ATS) face Iowa State (11-3, 0-1 Big 12, 9-5 ATS). This thrilling matchup is slated for Tuesday at 7:00 PM ET. The Cougars opened as 3-point favorites over the Cyclones, promising an intense contest with an over/under of 132. These two haven't played since 1/3/2010, an ISU 82-75 win. In their Big 12 debut, the Cougars dominated West Virginia 89-55 at home, led by Cryer's 20 points and Dunn's 14. Houston has won 9 of its 14 games by 30+ points. Meanwhile, the Cyclones return home following a 71-63 defeat at #11 Oklahoma on Saturday. We’re getting a really good number here on the Cougars on Tuesday night. Houston heads into Ames a small favorite and this is a good spot for them as they have an edge on the home side. Two of Iowa State’s three losses have come against top teams in the country. Houston plays a different game as they make sure things are extremely physical and tough on opposing teams. The Cougars score 77 ppg, but the most outstanding stat is this team is allowing under 50 ppg this year. You read that right as they’re allowing nothing easy and they are the best team in the nation on closing out on opposing shooters. They rebound better than anyone as well, not allowing any sort of 2nd or 3rd chances at the rim. Houston is going to put the clamps down on the Cyclones as we’ve seen ISU struggle in their losses on the offensive end. That will be the story here as the Cougars will turn the pressure up and force the Cyclones into a lot of turnovers and tough shots. Trends, Houston 5-1 ATS in L6, Houston are 10-0 SU L10, 12-0 SU in their L12 on the road, 8-3 ATS in their L11 vs. Big 12 teams, and finally Houston are 19-1 SU in their L20 in January.

Kansas State -1.5 The Kansas State Wildcats (11-3, 1-0 Big 12, 7-7 ATS) aim to extend their 3-game winning streak as they face the Mountaineers (5-9, 0-1 Big 12, 6-8 ATS) at 7pm ET on Tuesday at WVU Coliseum in Morgantown, WV. The matchup will be broadcasted on ESPN+. The Wildcats are favored by a narrow 1 point against the Mountaineers, with the game's total points projected at 142. Kansas State looks to continue their quick start to the season as they come in with momentum heading into Morgantown. The Wildcats welcomed in the UCF Knights to the Big 12 with an absolute beatdown 77-52. It was a dominant performance on both ends of the floor as Kansas State held the Knights to just 33.8% shooting from the field. That’s been a common theme for this Wildcats team, as they’re one of the best on the defensive end in the conference. They’re giving up just 68 ppg and they have allowed 60 points or less in all of their last 3 games. Now, they matchup well with this West Virginia team that just can’t put things together. They’re a struggle on both ends of the floor. For starters, they’re only putting up 67 ppg. On the defensive end, they’re getting wrecked right now, especially as of late. Houston and Ohio State had their way both in the paint and behind the arc and this one should feature a lot of open shooting lanes for the Cats. Kansas State is more physical and playing with much more confidence right now. Trends, WV are 2-4 ATS in their L6 at home, and are 3-6 ATS in their L9, and are 1-4 SU in their L5. K State are 4-2 ATS in their L6, 8-1 SU L9, and 8-3 ATS L11 in JAN, plus they're 2-0 in their road games against the spread. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-08-24 | Suns v. Clippers UNDER 230.5 | 111-138 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 4 m | Show | |
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 |

01-07-24 | Raptors v. Warriors -2 | 133-118 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 3 m | Show | |
Warriors -2 Sunday at 8:30pm ET from the Chase Center in San Francisco, CA it's the (14-21, 16-18-1 ATS, 5-12 AWAY) Toronto Raptors taking on the (17-18, 17-18 ATS, 11-9 HOME) Golden State Warriors. The NBA has reinstated Draymond Green, it was announced by the NBA on Saturday, don't expect him in uniform on Sunday, but he will be courtside, and I'm expecting a bump for the Warriors in this game. There will be a TON OF HYPE with Draymond in the building. Crazy news coming out right now too that Siakam could be a future Warrior. There have been rumors floating around that these two teams are trade partners (potentially). Kuminga & Moody come to mind, as would Canadian Andrew Wiggins coming back to play in Toronto alongside countrymen RJ Barrett. Time will tell. Let's get to the game! LOL The Golden State Warriors are slight 2-point favorites against the Raptors with an over/under of 237.5 points. Warriors rank 9th in scoring (117.1 PPG), while the Raptors allow the 17th-fewest points (115.6). Raptors are 17th in scoring (114.5 PPG), and the Warriors have the 20th-ranked defense (116.5 PPG). While Chris Paul's absence is unfortunate, it might have a silver lining. His injury is anticipated to provide additional playing opportunities for Brandin Podziemski, who showcased his scoring ability with 11 points coming off the bench Friday. Raptors come in off a win over the Grizz 116-111, and a loss to the Kings. (They're 1-1 on this road trip) GSW swept last year's season series, both wins by double digits, and they come into this one off a 113-109 win over the Pistons. Trends, TOR are 5-11 SU L16, and 2-5 ATS L7 vs. GSW, plus they're 2-4 SU L6 vs. GSW. TOR are also 2-8 SU L10 on the road. GS are 10-3 L13 at home, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. EAST teams. Plus they're 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Atlantic DIV teams. I'm backing the home team on Sunday. Play the small number. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Michigan St. -3 Michigan State (9-5, 1-2 Big Ten, 8-6 ATS, 0-1 AWAY) faces Northwestern (10-3, 1-1 Big Ten, 5-6-2 ATS, 7-1 HOME) at Welsh-Ryan Arena this Sunday at 7:30 p.m. ET on the Big Ten Network. The Spartans started weak in December but now have five straight wins, with a big 92-61 win over Penn State. Northwestern had a three-game winning streak end with a 96-66 loss to #8 Illinois, not covering as 5.5-point underdogs. They've won 3 of their last 4 against Michigan State, including a 70-63 win on December 4, 2022, as 6-point underdogs. That game had more than 127.5 points. Expect a tough game, but we pick Michigan State to win. We’re riding this hot streak with the Spartans here, who lay a couple points on the road on Sunday night. Michigan State opened the season with some embarrassing performances and all looked lost for them to be honest early. However, they come into play winners of 5 in a row and they’re back to their old ways as Izzo has this team battling right now. It starts on the defensive end. They haven’t allowed more than 75 points during this winning streak which is a huge improvement from earlier this season. They’re forcing turnovers, not allowing many second chance options, and they’re just flocking to shooters and closing out well. Their high pressure is going to be far too much for Northwestern. The Wildcats don’t light up the scoreboard as they average just 72 ppg. They are a slow paced team which will play right into the favor of the Spartans. Michigan State has dominated this head to head series as well. All time, they lead 92-41 against Northwestern. This will be a grind it out type of game, but the Spartans have the better playmakers and the edge. Trends, MST 5-0 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 13-3 SU L16 vs. NW, and they're 13-2 SU L15 vs. NW on the road. NW are 5-13 ATS L18 in games played Sunday at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

The Hoosiers have the value here, grabbing points at home. This one headlines the night slate and this is always a tough place to play. Indiana has gone 7-1 in home situations with the lone loss coming by 4 to Kansas earlier this season. The Hoosiers are always notorious for being a tough team to crack at home in general and this place will be rocking on Saturday night. Indiana has shot the ball as well as anyone coming into play. They rank in the top tier in field goal percentage, shooting at a 49.2% clip. The Hoosiers are the kind of team that can get hot and come at you in flurries. Ohio State hasn't done well this season against teams that play like Indiana. Texas A&M is a prime example as the Buckeyes simply were struggling with the physical play and high pressure. This Hoosiers defense will be up to the task and make things extremely tough on the Buckeyes shooters. We're backing Indiana who will have all the energy in the world in this one and look to come out with some fire after falling to Nebraska on the road last time out. Indiana and home court is the move here. Trends, OST 2-5 ATS L7, 0-10 SU L10 on the road, and 1-7 ATS L8 vs. Indiana on the road. IND 6-3 ATS L9, 10-4 SU L14, 8-1 SU L9 at home. You know what to do.

Notably, Indiana is coming off an impressive 150-116 win against the Hawks last night. Haliburton of course, led the way. He went off and grabbed 18 assists (we had the OVER prop), 10 points and 8 rebounds. Indiana has shown its strength by covering the spread in the L6 games and extending that streak to 3 straight games as a dog. They're getting great looks, and many guys are chipping in. Myles Turner led the way for Indiana last night, 27 points, while Mathurin chipped in with 18. Additionally, Brown added 17, and Nesmith contributed 15. Celtics have to travel to Indiana for the 2nd leg of a B2B, that's not ideal no matter how you slice it. The Celtics dominated the Jazz, securing a 126-97 victory on Friday while covering as 14-point home favs. Boston has won 7 of their L8. They led by 36 in the second quarter and rested starters as much as they could. G1 Celts 144-104 (Nov 1), G2 Pacers 122-112 (Dec 4). These two go at it again on Monday in Indiana. Trends, Boston are 2-5 ATS in their L7 against Indiana, and they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 played in JAN.

We see two teams who have started to find their groove here as of late. We're taking Villanova as they have started to figure things out more and they have the home crowd energy behind them. Nova has won 4 straight games and some of these have been very impressive. They took down Depaul and Creighton on the road, with wins over tough UCLA and Xavier teams to go along with those. Villanova is doing just about everything right on both ends of the floor. They're locking down defensively and getting key stops when they need them. Coming into play, Villanova is allowing just 63.6 PPG, which is one of the best marks in the entire nation. they have put the clamps down during this recent run as well and they're going to put a ton of pressure on this St. Johns side. The Red Storm have struggled in this head to head series too. Coming into this one, the Wildcats have cashed in 6 straight meetings. St. Johns lacks a spark and they're not going to be able to overcome this Villanova high pressure defense. Trends, St. John's are 0-6 SU in their L6 Saturday games on the road.

Watch it on ESPN. The Lakers are favored by 4.5, and the total points O/U is 228.5. Memphis has been a fade this year overall. This team has struggled, even with Morant back in the lineup. They come in off a loss to the Raptors and their only win out of their last 5 games came against a lowly San Antonio team. They’ve struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm not just as of late, but throughout the entire season. They’ve put up just 106 ppg, which is one of the worst in the NBA and their issues have stemmed from both inside and behind the arc. Memphis is onto shooting as a team 43%, while they’re allowing the opposition to shoot at a near 47% clip. The Lakers have played much better at home and they’re going to overwhelm this Memphis side on Friday. The Lakers have been inconsistent themselves this season, but they still have the playmakers that can step up any night. Lebron has rarely missed time and he’s playing at such a high level right now. The F Is averaging 25-7-7 and he’s been the catalyst to when this team is successful. Davis has averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds himself as these two continue to produce big numbers.

We’re on the Magic, grabbing the points here. This is a situational spot the Magic will have an edge in. Everyone saw Jokic hit the half court buzzer beater three to beat the Warriors on Thursday night as they shocked Golden State. After a high flying, intense game like that, going back to back with a lesser team is never easy. The Magic are scrappy too. While they’ve dropped the first two games of 2024, they’ve been right there with a good Warriors team and a Kings team they took to overtime. They’re 4 games above .500 as well which has been one of the bigger surprises in the NBA. They’re doing it with their ability to get stops when they need them. They give up 111 ppg and we’ve seen them hold top teams to lower. They’re going to be physical and won’t shy away from this Nuggets team. We’re expecting a fatigued and distracted Nuggets team, that may not be as focused for this one after last nights epic win. Trends, Magic 6-2 ATS L8, 6-0 ATS L6 vs. DEN, and 5-1 ATS L6 on the road.

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.

Butler +6 Friday night the (12-2, 0-2 AWAY, 8-6 ATS) UConn Huskies take on the (10-4, 8-0 HOME, 7-6 ATS) Butler Bulldogs. Tip off is at 6:30pm ET from the Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. These two played nearly a year ago. 1/22/23. A 86-56 UConn win. But that was a much different Butler team. Butler has value here, catching points at home. The Bulldogs have been a much different team at home versus on the road. They come in after dropping back to back games, but both were on the road. Prior to that, the Bulldogs rattled off 7 straight wins, with a majority of those at home. Butler has been one of the quietest teams in the nation with one of the best offenses. Nobody really talks about them, but they have 10 wins and have put up nearly 83 ppg. Those numbers even increase when playing at home. UConn is going to get a very physical side that loves to attack. They’re going to see Butler come right at them and it can give the Huskies some frustrations from the outset. With the home crowd energy, this has the makings of a trap game for the Huskies. UConn is a public betting favorite here, but Hinkle Fieldhouse is an extremely tough place to play. A couple other stats that have caught my eye. Butler is 27th in the nation at FG Attempted per game, and are 19th in the nation from the charity stripe. They'll come at you all game, and when they get to stripe, they're pretty darn good. Exactly what we want when trying to cover a spread against a really good team. Trends, UConn are 1-5 ATS in their L6 on a Friday when playing on the road. Butler are 7-2 SU in their L9, 8-0 SU L8 at home, and are 4-1 L5 on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

I know these west coast teams the best, and I'm not afraid to pull the trigger when I see value on a line involving teams I know. Case in point, Thursday. Oregon +4.5. The Ducks have value here as they catch points on the road. Washington has had far too many issues on the defensive end. They’ve been extremely inconsistent when it comes to slowing teams down that push the tempo and they are going to have their hands full in this one. Allowing 76 ppg, the Huskies allowed 95 to Utah last time out. They run into a hot Oregon team that continues to put up wins. The Ducks have a complement of players who can step up and attack and we’ve seen that as of late as they’re getting contributions from many different players. They are also stepping up on the defensive end. As they give up just 70 ppg, the Ducks allowed just 59 to UCLA in their latest win. Oregon has put the clamps down and they’re playing with a ton of pressure. They are one of the best in the conference at closing out on shooters as well, adding to this value. The Ducks are going to push the pace as they know Washington has their fair share of issues with transition defense. Trends, Oregon are 6-2 ATS L8, 6-1 SU L7, 12-3 L15 SU vs. UW, and 5-2 SU L7 on the road vs. UW. UW is randomly 5-11 ATS L16 when playing on a Thursday at home. Grab the points here, with Oregon having a chance to steal this outright. The barking dog has value. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-04-24 | Bucks v. Spurs +9.5 | 125-121 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Spurs +9.5 Spurs (5-28, 2-14 HOME, 13-20 ATS) host the Bucks (24-10, 8-7 AWAY, 15-18-1 ATS) tonight in NBA betting action. Tip is at 7:30pm ET. We're obviously hoping we get some Bucks players are sitting news for this matchup, as they're on the 2nd night of a B2B. 80% sure Middleton will be out for this one. These teams already played this season. In the last game, Milwaukee beat the Spurs 132-119. Wembanyama was sidelined with an ankle sprain. The Bucks are on the road for a back-to-back, coming off a 142-130 loss to the Pacers. The Spurs just lost 106-98 on the road to the Grizzlies, with Wembanyama scoring 20 points. It's been a tough stretch for San Antonio, but I think they can stay competitive tonight. For starters, this is a back to back for the Bucks and we could see some players rest. Milwaukee had just an extremely hard fought game last night against the Pacers where they fell and allowed 142 points. The game was extremely fast and the tempo never stopped. Typically after games like this, we see teams sit some players out. The Spurs are struggling mightily this year, but they have some bright spots to lean on. They kept things close with Memphis to start 2024 and they’re starting to look better on both sides of the ball. They are going to catch Milwaukee in a very nice spot here. The fatigue factor and lack of focus having to go down to San Antonio for this game will test the mentality of this team. San Antonio played the Bucks hard last month, putting up 119 points in a loss. They have the ability with their youth to play quick and they can get into a groove. Expect a lot of factors to be against Milwaukee in this spot and for the Spurs to keep it close. Trends, Bucks are 0-8 ATS in their L8 Thursday games, are 1-6 ATS L7 following an ATS win, and Milwaukee are 2-9 ATS in their L11 against SAS, lastly, they're 2-4 L6 in JAN. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-03-24 | Clippers -2.5 v. Suns | 131-122 | Win | 100 | 20 h 42 m | Show | |
Clippers -2.5 Wednesday at 9pm ET from the Footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ we get the the (20-12, 16-16 ATS, 6-8 AWAY) LA Clippers taking on the (18-15, 12-20-1 ATS, 10-9 HOME) Phoenix Suns. The Clippers have value here as they take on a Suns team that has a lot of issues right now. We'll get to the Suns issues shortly, but looking at the Clippers first, they come in with a lot of confidence. They have won 10 straight games when Kawhi is on the court and he looked great in his return after missing 4 straight games. Leonard finished with 24 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in a win over Miami as he continues to produce numbers all around. On the flip side of this one, the Suns continue to deal with a lot. Durant has expressed his displeasure at times and now he will be out once again because of hamstring soreness. The Clippers have figured things out on both ends of the floor as they now sit 8 games above .500 and Harden is fitting in quite well. Harden has given both George and Leonard a boost in their production and he comes in off back to back double doubles. Over the last 9 games, he's recorded 5 double doubles. The Clippers have the edge here. They're playing extremely well as a team and they have continued to get production all around the lineup. Trends, LAC 7-3 ATS L10, 12-2 SU L14, 6-2 SU L8 on the road, and 8-1 SU L9 vs. Western teams. On the other side, SUNS are 3-13 ATS L16, 1-6 ATS L7 at home, and 2-5 SU L7 vs. WESTERN teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-03-24 | NC State -4.5 v. Notre Dame | 54-52 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 44 m | Show | |
NC State -4.5 Wednesday night at 9pm ET from the Purcell Pavilion at the Joyce Center in Notre Dame, IN we get the NC State Wolfpack (9-3, 6-6 ATS, 1-1 AWAY) taking on the Fighting Irish (6-7, 6-7 ATS, 5-3 HOME). We're on the Wolfpack here, as they have value here on the road in Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish have their first momentum of the season after back to back to wins over Marist and Virginia. However, those come after a 3 game losing streak and they're in search of winning back to back ACC games for the first time in nearly 2 years. The Fighting Irish just lack a spark and they're going to be overwhelmed with this NC State team. The Wolfpack come in putting up nearly 80 PPG. Notre Dame only puts up 63 PPG themselves, as they don't have the firepower to keep up in this game. The Wolfpack love to run and gun, which won't play well into the Fighting Irish's hands. Their two wins were against slow paced teams and this will have them off their rhythm from the outset. NC State goes as DJ Horne goes. He put up 26 points last time out in their win over Detroit as he has averaged 15.0 PPG. He's going to have his way with this ND defense and should ignite this Wolfpack offense to get going early. This is a lopsided matchup that favors the visitors. Trends, NC State are 4-2 ATS L6, 5-1 SU L6, 5-2 SU L7 vs. ND, and 5-2 ATS L7 vs. ACC teams. On the other side ND are 7-13 SU L20, and 2-10 SU L12 vs. ACC teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-03-24 | Raptors v. Grizzlies UNDER 229.5 | 116-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
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 |

01-03-24 | Wizards v. Cavs -9.5 | 101-140 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Cavs -9.5 Wednesday night at 7pm ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, OH it's the (6-26, 3-15 AWAY, 16-16 ATS) Washington Wizards vs. Cleveland Cavaliers (18-15, 9-8 HOME, 15-16-2 ATS). The Cavs are favored by -9.5 (Opened -9.5), and the O/U is 239.5. Cleveland should feast on this Washington defense on Wednesday night. The Wizards are one of the worst in the NBA on the defensive end and it’s led them to being one of the worst in the league overall. They have allowed over 126ppg and they haven’t been able to slow down anyone. They simply cannot stop anything in transition and their inability to close out on shooters has been rough. They’re going to have their hands completely full with this Cleveland team. The Cavs have battled injuries all year long, but now they have Mitchell back in the lineup. They’re also getting contributions all around, especially from the bench as they’re proving they’re a deep team. Caris LeVert in particular has been one of the biggest guys to step up and he comes in after putting up 31 points against the Raptors last time out. Cleveland will run on this Washington team and push the tempo on them. Washington can’t keep up and they’re going to struggle all night long stopping these Cleveland shooters, who have shot 35% from behind the arc and that number has increased over the previous few games too. Cavs average 112 PPG, but their strong suit is their defense. They're 11th in the association allowing only 112 PPG. They're also 9th in steals, and 14th on the boards. Both big advantages over the lowly Wizards. Trends, the Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their L5 as a favorite, and they're 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Southeast teams. On the other side the Wiz are 4-16 SU L20, 2-5 ATS L7 vs. CLE, 1-5 SU L6 vs. CLE, and are 1-7 SU L8 on the road. Lastly they're 3-16 SU L19 vs. EAST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON!

01-02-24 | Nets v. Pelicans -5.5 | 85-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show | |
Pelicans -5.5 Tonight at 8pm ET from the Smoothie King Center in Nawlins we get the (15-18, 18-14-1 ATS, 6-10 AWAY) Nets taking on the (19-14, 18-14-1 ATS, 11-7 HOME) Pelicans. The last time these two met was 1/6/23. A Nets 108-102 win. Before that on 10/19/22, a 130-108 Pels win. Pels come in as one of the best teams in the NBA in the paint. They're a top 15 team on both ends of the glass, and they're #3 in the NBA with 8.36 steals per game. These guys get after it. If they get to the charity stripe they make you pay too, #7 in the NBA. Fading Brooklyn on the road is a nice move in this spot. The Nets have been a struggle away from home here in the 2023-2024 season. They own just 6 wins and it's been a rocky start for this team. They've struggled as a whole lately too, losing 8 of their last 10 overall. The Nets come into play one of the worst on the defensive side, as they give up nearly 117 PPG . That won't bode well with them going up against one of the quickest teams in the NBA either. The Pelicans are one of the fastest teams with their tempo and their ability to attack the rim is top notch. They put up 116 PPG themselves and rank 9th in the NBA in FG% (48.3%). New Orleans will utilize that speed and go right at the Nets in this game. Brooklyns struggles lately and really this season have come from their inability to slow the fast break down. This is a great matchup and edge for the Pelicans here who are one of the best at getting up and down the floor, while creating open shooting lanes for their outside threats. New Orleans has played better at home as well, adding to this side. Trends, Nets are 0-6 in their L6 as a DOG. Plus, Brooklyn are 1-9 ATS in their L10, 2-8 SU in their L10, 0-6 ATS in their L6 road games, and they're 0-5 ATS in their L5 against WESTERN teams. On the flip side, New Orleans are 7-3 SU in their L10. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-02-24 | Iowa v. Wisconsin -5.5 | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Wisconsin -5.5 #23 Wisconsin Badgers (9-3, 1-0 Big Ten, 5-6-1 ATS) host Iowa (8-5, 0-2 Big Ten, 5-8 ATS) tonight at the Kohl Center, tip off is 7pm ET, were on the home side here, laying the points. Iowa has failed to show up in big games this season. While they’ve won 3 in a row against lowly competition, prior to that they dropped 3 straight against the likes of Iowa State, Michigan, and Purdue. All 3 of those losses were blowouts and now they go up against a Top 25 Badgers team, who is extremely physical. Wisconsin has a compliment of players who have stepped up this year, which includes AJ Storr who comes in after a career high 29 point performance against Chicago State. That’s been the difference with this Badgers team as they have been able to put together performances as of late where they’ve won 8 of their last 9 games. During that stretch, they’ve allowed just 64.9 ppg. The offense of UW is tough to stop with five different players averaging over 9 PPG. Look for Wisconsin to once against step up defensively and force Iowa into a lot of turnovers. Badgers' 13th-ranked offense, strong ball control, 77% free-throw accuracy, and pivotal offensive rebounds have contributed significantly to their successful season. Wisconsin should dictate this game, and they will frustrate Iowa from the outset. Trends, Iowa are 2-5 ATS in their L7, are 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Badgers, are 1-5 SU in their L6 on the road, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. Big Ten schools. Wisconsin are 8-1 SU in their L9, and are 5-0 SU L5 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-01-24 | Mavs -3 v. Jazz | 90-127 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 18 m | Show | |
Dallas -3 The (19-14, 19-14 ATS, 11-7 AWAY) Dallas Mavs take on the (14-19, 18-15 ATS, 9-5 HOME) Utah Jazz at 9pm ET. The Mavericks and Jazz meet to tip off the 2024 year and we’re on Dallas here, laying the number. For starters, Dallas has the mind games over this Utah team coming into this matchup. Dallas beat them by 50 points last month in a 147-97 game that saw Doncic have a first half triple double. There are so many takeaways from that game, but this Utah side just doesn’t matchup well with the Mavericks. Dallas puts up nearly 120 ppg as this offense can get on a roll. The Mavs finished December with a 132 point performance over the Warriors, in a game where they shot 55.7% from the field. That’s what you can get from this team as if they get hot, things can get ugly quickly for the opposition. Utah doesn’t have the playmakers to keep up as they’ve been very inconsistent here in the early part of this season. Utah is scoring 113 ppg, but when you concede nearly 119, ifs never going to work out well. Dallas will turn up the tempo and really push the issue in this game. Doncic should be in store for another big game, as Dallas’ offense will carry the load in this game. Luca's unstoppable, and the Jazz can't contain him. In the previous game, he was on fire, and that will carry over tonight. In Dallas' 132-122 win against Golden State, Doncic scored 39 points, including 25 in the second half, with 10 assists and 8 rebounds. Utah is just far too inconsistent to trust, especially when it comes to this young team and their ability to shoot the ball. Trends, Dallas is 4-1 ATS in their L5 games, 12-4 ATS in L16 matchups vs. Utah, and 6-1 SU in L7 against Utah. On the road, they're 6-2 ATS in L8 away games and 6-1 ATS when playing at Utah. Utah are 2-5 SU in their L7 vs. WEST teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

12-30-23 | Lakers v. Wolves OVER 225.5 | 106-108 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
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!

12-30-23 | NC-Wilmington +10 v. Arkansas | 90-106 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 45 m | Show | |
UNCW +10 Saturday at 5pm ET from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR the UNC Wilmington Seahawks (9-2, 4-4 ATS) take on the Arkansas Razorbacks (8-4, 3-9 ATS). We’re grabbing the points here with UNCW, as they come in here with some nice value. Looking at Arkansas first, this Razorbacks side has been inconsistent to start the year. Their 4 losses have shown a lot of their flaws on the defensive end. One game in particular stands out where they lost to UNCG 78-72 earlier this season. That has a similar feel to this game as the Razorbacks struggle with teams that can play quick and get hot from behind the arc. Arkansas gives up 75.3 points per game, which is one of the worst marks in the SEC. UNCW has won 4 in a row and one of those wins was at Kentucky. This side has not only played with a lot of confidence, but they’ve averaged a score of 85.4 ppg. They aren’t shy about playing quick and it’s going to put a lot of pressure on Arkansas from the start. The ability to shoot the 3 and turn defense into offense is what has led this UNCW side to so much success. They can go right at this Arkansas defense. Look for the kind of game where we see a lot of back and forth action. The difference here is that UNCW has shown the ability to keep up with anyone and Arkansas is by no means going to overpower anyone. Trends, Arkansas is 2-9 ATS record in their L11, while UNCW is red-hot with a 5-1 SU streak in their L6. On the road, UNCW boasts a 13-4 SU record in their L 17 away games. However, they've struggled against SEC opponents, going 1-7 SU in their L8. Notably, UNC Wilmington excels in December, boasting a 10-2 ATS record in their L12 games this month. You know what to do.

12-30-23 | UCLA v. Oregon -7.5 | 59-64 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 53 m | Show | |
Oregon -7.5 The (6-6, 4-7-1 ATS) UCLA Bruins take on the (9-3, 8-4 ATS) Oregon Ducks on Saturday. Tip is at 4:00 PM EST from the Matthew Knight Arena in Eugene, OR. Oregon cashed in for us last time out as they took down USC. This team is just different at home and they have a lot of value in this spot. UCLA has so many question marks surrounding them. They finally got in the win column at Oregon state last time out, but that comes after they dropped 3 straight, which includes a loss to CS Northridge. They still only managed 69 points in the win as well at Oregon State as they can’t find any consistency. The Bruins only score 67.8 ppg and now they go up against an Oregon team that is putting up 79.3 ppg themselves. The Ducks have back to back impressive wins where they blew Kent and USC out in games where they found a ton of offensive production. The Ducks put up 82 and 84 points in those wins as they have found a nice groove. They are going to overwhelm this UCLA team. The Bruins are young and their youth has shown this year. They turn the ball over a lot and the Ducks defense swarms. The pressure will be up and Oregon will make this a long night for the Bruins. Trends, UCLA are 1-5 ATS in their L6, 1-4 SU L5, 2-5 ATS L7 vs. Oregon, and 2-7 SU L9 vs. Oregon in Eugene. On the other side the Ducks are 6-1 ATS L7, 5-1 SU L6, 6-0 ATS L6 at home, and they're 6-3 L9 on a Saturday in Eugene. I'm backing the Ducks on Saturday in Pac 12 play. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-29-23 | Arizona v. California +14 | 100-81 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 56 m | Show | |
California +14 Arizona (9-2, 1-0 AWAY, 9-2 ATS) take on CAL (4-7, 4-2 HOME, 6-5 ATS) on Friday night in Pac 12 action. We’re on Cal here, with the points. This is a lot of points to lay in a conference game and this Cal side isn’t as bad as oddsmakers think. Cal has dealt with some injuries here early on and they got healthy in their latest win over UC San Diego last time out. Jaylon Tyson, who averaged 19.4 ppg last year and G Devin Askew both returned to the lineup and should be full go here on Friday night. Cal also has seen production from a few other players with those absences as they have been able to build a deep team. That should allow them to stay close in this one. They are averaging 76 ppg and that’s a big number given the missing pieces they’ve had. They can shoot the 3 ball and their ability to attack is very underrated in the PAC-12. While we know what Arizona brings to the table, Cal has the ability to match their pace and scoring. I’m not sitting here saying Cal is going to easily win this outright. But given the circumstances they’ve played with thus far, they’re going to be geared up for this one Friday with their key pieces back. You won't find many trends, or stats that point to a CAL win ehre, but isn't this why we love sports? CAL passes the eye test, and they're playing well. 14 points is too many. Expect them to keep it close as they’ll come out with some fire here at home. Cal are 5-2 ATS in their L7. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-29-23 | Bucks v. Cavs +6.5 | 119-111 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Cavs +6.5 Friday night the Cleveland Cavs (18-13, 15-16 ATS) host the Milwaukee Bucks (23-8, 14-16-1 ATS). Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse hosts this one at 7:30pm ET. Over the past two years, the Cavaliers emerged as a team that gets up for the challenge vs. Milwaukee. In 2021-22, they won 3/4 against the Bucks, 2-2 in 2022/23, with the Cavs taking the 2 recent games. (114-102 on 1/21/23 was the last game) Friday, we’re on the Cavs here, grabbing the points. Cleveland returns home after what was one of the more impressive wins of the season as they took down the Mavs on Wednesday night. Cleveland has been battling injuries all season long and with the stars like Garland and Mitchell out, they have had limited resources to say the least. However, it’s been different players stepping up each night and this time it was LeVert who came up big. He finished with 29 points and 7 assists as he propelled Cleveland to their 2nd straight win. This is a Cleveland team using the next man up motto. No matter who has gone down, there’s been someone right there to step up. The Cavs have held the last two opponents to low totals, as they’re leaning on their defense to produce. The key stops and ability to turn turnovers into easy buckets the other way has been the key to success. Milwaukee grabbed a win in Brooklyn after losing to the Knicks on Christmas. The Bucks continue this road swing and this is a tough spot for them. Going against a scrappy Cavs team before returning home for a brief game is going to have the focus lacking. Cleveland is going to cause issues for Milwaukee and this game should be close throughout. Trends, the Bucks are 2-6 ATS in their L8 vs. CLE, and are 2-5 SU vs. CLE. They're also 1-4 L5 ATS on the road vs. CLE. Cleveland are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 5-1 SU L6. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-28-23 | USC v. Oregon -2.5 | 74-82 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Oregon -2.5 USC (6-5, 5-6 ATS) and Oregon (8-3, 7-4 ATS) will meet in their Pac-12 opener at Matthew Knight Arena this Thursday, with a 9 p.m. ET tip-off (watch on ESPN 2). In their recent outings, USC broke a three-game losing streak, winning convincingly 79-59 against the Alabama State Hornets on December 19, while Oregon returned to the win column with an 84-70 victory over the Kent State Golden Flashes. In that game, they shot 46.7% from the field, 24.1% from beyond the arc, and 77.8% from the free throw line. Their offense averages 79 PPG, while their defense permits 70.9 PPG from opponents. The Ducks are asking guys to step up that haven’t been in this kind of position before. And they’re getting a ton of production all around as they enter play here on Thursday. Oregon has battled injuries to their star players constantly in 2023. They’ve been able to find their rhythm and they’re getting huge production from many different players. One in particular, Jermaine Cousinard, who went off for 27 points last time out. Still, this team is putting up big numbers and they’re taking on a USC side that is trying to find their identity. The Trojans have been extremely inconsistent and turnovers have bit them. They turned it over 15 times against Auburn a few games back as it seems to be a struggle to take care of the ball against good teams. The Ducks play with a ton of pressure and should produce a lot of turnovers. They’re one of the best at turning defense into offense, as they push out in transition and find easy buckets at the rim. Oregon is the quicker, more physical, and better team overall. Combine that with the momentum and this is a nice edge. Trends, the Ducks have covered in 2 of their L3 against USC, are 5-1 ATS in their L6, 5-0 ATS in their L5 home games, while the Trojans are 1-3 ATS in their L4, and are 2-10 SU in their L12 games at Oregon. This is a tough team to play against, and at home, they're even tougher. I'm on the Ducks tonight in their P12 opener. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-27-23 | Knicks v. Thunder -3 | 120-129 | Win | 100 | 6 h 45 m | Show | |
Thunder -3 NY Knicks (17-12, 9-8 AWAY, 15-12-2 ATS) take on the OKC Thunder (19-9, 11-5 HOME, 19-9 ATS), WED. Pulling the trigger on the Thunder -3 tonight vs. the Knicks in OKC. Tip Off is at 8:10pm ET. Injuries: Robinson & Sims OUT for NYK, no injuries to report for OKC. Last game out OKC took down the TWolves (yesterday) 129-106. OKC won on the back of SGA who notched 34 points, accompanied by Jalen Williams, who chipped in 21, while the Thunder drained a total of 18x 3's. Over the past 2 games, Williams has scored 49 on 18/28 shooting, boosting his avg. to 17.6 PPG from his rookie season's 14 PPG. Contributions from everyone is what OKC is getting right now. They're truly winning as a team. When Holmgren & Dort can also put up 20+, this team is scary. OKC shot 60% from the field vs. MIN. The Knicks haven't played since XMAS day. Brunson scored 38 & NY snapped Milwaukee's 7 game streak, 129-122 the final. Now NY hits the road for a roadie. OKC comes into this matchup 5th in the league in scoring at 121 PPG, while NY is 15th at 115 PPG. On D NY has the edge but it's slim, 112 PPG, to OKC's 113 PPG. OKC is 3rd in FG%, 2nd from DOWNTOWN, and they're the best FT shooting team in the Association as well. NY has the rebounding edge, but in the paint OKC is lethal on D, 3rd in steals, and blocks. The total has gone OVER the L3 times these two have played, so I'm expecting a fast-paced up and down the court game (at least to start on WED), and the way OKC is shooting right now they're going to be extremely difficult to slow down. I like them at the low number. Some trends to consider, the Knicks are 1-6-1 ATS in their L8 vs. a team with a winning % above .600, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7 following an ATS win. They're also 2-7 ATS L9 vs. OKC, and 3-11 SU L14 vs. OKC, and they're 4-11 SU L15 playing in OKC. OKC are 4-1 ATS L5, and 6-1 ATS L7 vs. EAST teams. Knicks are 4-5 vs. WEST teams SU. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-26-23 | Pacers +3.5 v. Rockets | 123-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 23 m | Show | |
Pacers +3.5 The Indiana Pacers (14-15, 14-15 ATS) take on the Houston Rockets (15-12, 17-8-2 ATS) today in NBA action. Tip off is at 8pm ET from the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. Indiana has the value here on the road, grabbing points. Indiana continues to try and find their identity early in the season as they have shown some flashes of brilliance, but also some signs of inconsistency. There’s no beating around the bush that they’re in the midst of one of those inconsistent stretches, but they match up well with the Rockets. Indiana needs to get back to what they did during their run in the in season tournament as they were clicking on all cylinders. Offensively, they are still one of the best in the league and they will lean on that. They average nearly 127 PPG as they have a lot of different playmakers. Tyrese Haliburton (24.5 ppg, 12.1 apg) and Myles Turner (17.1 ppg, 7.6 rpg) are the two that need to lead the charge here. They should be able to pick apart this Rockets defense on Tuesday night, as Houston’s defense has been up and down all season long. Indiana is the better side and we grab points here. Pacers have won 3 straight in this H2H series. The last time these two teams met was 3/9/23 a 134-125 Pacers win. Before that 11/18/22 a 99-91 Pacers win. The #1 offense in the NBA against the #2 defense. I don't think the Rockets can keep up. Trends, the Pacers are 5-2 ATS L7 vs. HOU, , plus they're 6-0 L6 Tuesday games, and 7-0 SU L7 vs. HOU. On the other side, HOU is 0-5 ATS in their L5 vs. Central teams, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. EAST teams. I'm hammering the Pacers +3 today. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-26-23 | Magic v. Wizards +7.5 | 127-119 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 49 m | Show | |
Wizards +7.5 Late add, but the time is right to make a move on the Wizards in this one. Coming off a nice 3-0 in the Association on XMAS Day. On Tuesday night we have the Magic (17-11, 6-8 AWAY, 19-9 ATS) taking on the Wizards (5-23, 2-8 HOME, 14-13-1 ATS). Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Capital One Arena in Washington DC. These two recently met on 12/1/23 a 130-125 Orlando win, so we've got some history on our side for a Magic team that was tough to put away. WSH are 2-3 in their L5 SU. Their last win was a 118-117 victory over PDX on 12/21. Orlando are 1-4 SU in their L5. Their last win was a 117-110 victory over the Pacers on 12/23. WSH comes in #10 in the NBA in PPG at 117 PPG, while Orlando is #20 at 113 PPG. Their big difference of course is on D. ORL #5 110 PPG, WSH #30 126 PPG. In addition to Kuzma is is averaging 23PPG, with a nice .468 FG%, WSH have Poole, Gafford, and Kispert who continue to get lots of minutes and they're proving to me to be guys that have great heart, hustle, and will be big contributors moving fwd. Too much turkey and stuffing yesterday, this game should be played at a slower pace than we're used to, and I'm banking on the home team having the last laugh, as they don't have the travel factor on this one. Trends, Wizards are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5 after scoring 100+ or more in prior game. They're also 4-1 ATS L5, and 10-4 ATS L14 in DEC. On the other side, the Magic are 4-9 L13 in DEC, 3-6 SU L9 vs. EAST teams, and 1-5 SU L6 on the road. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-25-23 | 76ers v. Heat OVER 225.5 | 113-119 | Win | 100 | 32 h 27 m | Show | |
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 |

12-25-23 | Celtics -2.5 v. Lakers | 126-115 | Win | 100 | 29 h 2 m | Show | |
Celtics -2.5 XMAS Day NBA matchup between the Celtics (22-6, 14-12-2 ATS, 8-6 AWAY) vs. Lakers (17-14, 14-17 ATS, 11-3 HOME). Boston has the value here on Christmas Day. The Celtics are making it known they’re the team to beat not just in the East, but in the entire NBA. The Celtics have put up 144 and 145 points in consecutive wins as they are on a tear offensively. This team is averaging 120 PPG on the year, which is one of the best marks in the league. This team is deep. They’re getting contributions from their stars and also their bench is proving to be one of the deepest in the league. Los Angeles on the flip side is just too inconsistent to trust. This Lakers side has struggled to figure things out as injuries and inconsistent shooting has derailed this team at times. Boston is going to come at this Lakers defense from so many different angles. We’re on the Celtics to overwhelm this Lakers defense enough as they should be able to dictate the pace of play. The Celtics will lean on Tatum and Brown to produce the energy early, with the rest of the team feeding off them. Trends, during an impressive run, Boston has excelled, posting a 5-1 ATS record in their L6 and an outstanding 7-1 SU in their L8 games. Their dominance extends when facing the Lakers, with a 6-2-1 ATS record in their L9 and a 4-1 SU record in their L5 matchups. Boston has also shone against Pacific Division rivals, boasting a 7-2 SU record in their L9 encounters. In contrast, the Lakers have struggled, going 2-5 ATS in their L7 and a mere 1-4 SU in their L5 games. I'm expecting the Celtics offense to keep rolling. Lock it in. You know what to do. Hop ON!

12-25-23 | Warriors v. Nuggets OVER 233.5 | 114-120 | Win | 100 | 27 h 37 m | Show | |
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 |

OKC -3 LA (16-14, 13-17 ATS, 5-11 AWAY) visit OKC (18-8 ATS, 10-4 HOME, 18-7-1 ATS) today at 8:10pm ET. Two teams heading in opposite directions: LAL's struggles continue post-tournament win, losing 4 straight and 5 of 6, while the Thunder surge with 3 consecutive wins and 15 of the last 20 before facing the Lakers in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City has the value here, laying the number at home against LA. The Lakers have been inconsistent. Coming into play here, they had won 4 of 5, but then went into a skid of losing 5 of their last 6. They have struggled to find any sort of consistency on either end of the floor really. Their inability to slow teams down has become very concerning. They come into this game giving up 114 ppg. However, they have allowed over that number in 5 of the last 6 games, with the lone one being right at that 114 point mark. The Thunder are on the opposite side in their current run. They've won in 5 of the last 6 games and come in off a 134 point performance against the Clippers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the catalyst, putting up 30.7 points per game. Overall, this Thunder offense has not backed down from anyone, putting up over 120 ppg. They come in 18-8 ATS this season and they matchup very well with the Lakers. We're backing the better team, at a small number here on Saturday. Trends, LAL 1-5 ATS L6, 1-5 SU L6, 3-7 SU L10 vs. NW DIV teams. On the other side, OKC 4-1 ATS L5, 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 12-3 L15 vs. WEST Teams. I'm all over OKC today! Let's Do This! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Duquesne -2.5 The Dukes (8-2, 4-6 ATS) take on the SC Broncos (8-5, 4-7-1 ATS) on Saturday at 5pm ET. We're on Duquesne here, as they lay a small number here against Santa Clara. I will forever think of Santa Clara as Steve Nash's old team, and boy could they use him today! This is going to be the kind of game where Duquesne lean on their top tier defense to cause a lot of issues for Santa Clara. Coming into play here, the Dukes are allowing just 68.9 ppg. They have put together some solid performances as of late coming into play here. During this 4 game winning streak, they have allowed 66, 72 59, and 67 points against in those games. They're playing with a lot of confidence right now and their ability to force turnovers has led them to some easy transition buckets. Santa Clara is going to have their hands full and they come in on a low as they fell to San Jose State in their latest contest. They are going to be at a mismatch here, as their offense isn't powerful enough to overcome this high pressure attack. Duquesne will mix in man to man and a zone, while closing out on shooters quickly. They're going to overwhelm this Broncos side in a game where they have the advantage. We're backing the team with more weapons here on both ends of the floor. Dukes are 5-1 L6 SU, and SC are 1-4-1 ATS L6, and 1-4 SU L5, and 1-5 SU L6 in DEC. You know what to do. I'm on the Dukes give the points. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-23-23 | Bucks v. Knicks +2.5 | 130-111 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Knicks +2.5 The Milwaukee Bucks (21-7, 12-15-1 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) are set to take on the New York Knicks (16-11, 14-11-2 ATS, 7-3 HOME) this Saturday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 12:30 p.m. Eastern Time and can be watched on NBA TV, with the action happening at Madison Square Garden. Bucks lead the season series 2-0, but the Knicks are 3-1 ATS in their L4. New York has secured consecutive W's, with their latest being a 121-102 W over the Nets on Wednesday, where they covered the 1.5 on the road. In their last 2, the Knicks have managed to keep their opponents to under 110 PPG, and they have also won 3 consecutive home games. These two will also matchup on XMAS Day in a B2B. For MIL. Crowder is OUT, Giannis and Beauchamp are probable. For NY M. Robinson is OUT as is Sims. Knicks went 3-2 on their recent road trip. Finishing off with wins over the Lakers, and then the Nets. Plus they had that great win over the Suns where Brunson went off for 50. For Knicks to cover in this one they need to play on the glass the way they're capable. They're ranked #3 on the OFF glass and the more second chance putbacks they can get in this one the better their chances. Bucks are a great offensive team, but the #7 ranked Knicks have their own brand of D they play, and they will make you work for your shots, so hoping we get a motivated Knicks team on SAT. Trends, NYK are 3-0-1 ATS L4 when playing as a home underdog from 0.5->4.5pts. NYK 4-2 ATS L6, 4-2 SU L6, 7-1 SU L8 home games, and 11-5 ATS L16 vs. Central DIV teams. Last one, Knicks are 10-5 SU L15 games on a SAT at home. I'm taking NYK +2.5. They win, and just watch I'll likely bet the Bucks on XMAS. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-22-23 | Maryland v. UCLA -3.5 | 69-60 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
UCLA -3.5 Maryland (7-4, 3-8 ATS) take on UCLA (5-5, 3-6-1 ATS) tonight. We're on the Bruins, who are in need of a win here on Friday night. If UCLA wants any chance in March at an at large bid, they're going to need to figure out how to get some signature wins and this one would go a long way. The Bruins limp in here, but this team isn't as bad as they appear on paper. The Bruins fell to then #4 Marquette by only 2 and then #11 Gonzaga by 4. Combine that with a loss to Ohio State by 7 and this team has been close in a lot of big games. The thing about UCLA is they have the talent to compete with anyone and this is the time for their key players to step up. G Sebastian Mack had 27 points last time out and he is the engine for this team. When he goes and is on, this team will go. They'll need the supporting cast, which includes Adem Bona figuring himself out. He's the key piece to this offense that'll get the supporting cast going and he should come out with some fire after his poor game last time out. Maryland only scores 73 points per game and they've been far too inconsistent to trust. They travel across the country here and will have issues with the speed of the Bruins. MD are 3-9 ATS L12, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. UCLA, plus they're 1-4 SU L5 vs. UCLA, and 0-6 SU L6 on the road. UCLA are 19-1 L20 at home, and 5-1 ATS L6 when playing on a Friday @ home! Back the Bruins -3.5. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-22-23 | Nuggets v. Nets +4.5 | 122-117 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
Nets +4.5 The Nuggets (19-10, 13-15-1 ATS, 8-8 AWAY) face the Nets (13-14, 17-9-1 ATS, 8-6 HOME) on Friday night at the Barclays Center, with tip-off scheduled for 7:30pm ET (NBA TV). Denver, currently on their 17th road game, shares the NBA's lead in this category with the Knicks. The reigning champions, the Nuggets, boast a 19-10 record for the season, having secured back-to-back wins leading up to this matchup. On the other hand, the Nets find themselves at 13-14 overall and are eager to break a 4-game losing streak. Brooklyn stands out with an impressive 3-point shooting % of 38.4% and an average of 14.7 3-pointers per game. Additionally, the Nets excel in offensive and defensive rebounding. Denver's recent performance has been solid, winning 5 of their last 6 games, including a 113-104 victory over the Raptors on Wednesday, where they covered as a 3.5-point favorite. In their last game, the Nets suffered a 121-102 loss to the Knicks, failing to cover as 1.5-point underdogs. It's worth noting that the Nets had a strong ATS record before their recent setbacks, going 6-1 in a 7-game stretch from November 25 to December 8. Regardless of record, I like the way they've been playing of late, and I think they have the pieces needed tonight to run with Denver. (Whether Gordon plays or not, I'm hearing he'll play). They're tough to beat at home, and they're a good squad ATS. When BKN played DEN last game out they shot just over 40% overall and 26% from 3. I'm confident Brooklyn will do better than that tonight, and if they don't turn the ball over so much (like they did in that one) this game stays close. Back the home dogs! BKN are 9-3 ATS L12 at home. PLUS, they LOVE Friday hoops in the City. 16-4 SU L20 on Friday's! You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-21-23 | Wizards v. Blazers -4 | 118-117 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 6 m | Show | |
Blazers -4 A little west coast late night action here today. I'm sorry I release these NBA plays so late in the day but you can blame the NBA for that. Some days are better than others, but most of the time I can't release an NBA play the night before, or even early in the AM. It's just not possible with the way the league releases team news and injury information. It's a gong show. The Wizards (4-22, 13-13 ATS) are heading to the Moda Center to take on the Trail Blazers (7-19, 13-13 ATS) at 10 pm ET. Portland has recently shown signs of improvement, particularly with their impressive victory over the Suns. They put an end to their 7-game losing streak with a hard fought 109-104 win. Successfully covering the 7.5-point spread as home underdogs. While they've struggled on the road, the Trail Blazers are now 7-19 for the season. My X-factor tonight. Anfernee Simons, the true game-changer. He's back and in outstanding form, consistently netting 24+ points over the last 6 games. The only hiccup was a 9-point outing against Utah last week. I'm not sure the WIZ will have an answer for him. Versus Washington, Portland has won 7 of the past 9 meetings, but the Wizards prevailed 126-101 in Portland in the last matchup on Feb. 14. On the other hand, the Wizards (4-22) have been facing challenges, especially when playing away from home. They are on a 0-2 losing streak during their four-game Western swing, which will conclude against the Warriors on Friday. The Wizards lost 112-108 to the Suns and suffered a 143-131 loss to the Kings in their most recent game, where they surprisingly managed to cover as 14.5-point road underdogs. The Wizards aren't showing much concern on the defensive end, allowing 120-plus points in 8 of their last 9 games overall. Washington holds a 0-6 win-loss record on the road in their last 6 outings, with a 3-3 ATS performance. I can't in good conscience do anything here but back PDX. Is it crazy that both teams are 13-13 ATS? Trends, WIZ are 2-17 SU L19, 0-6 ATS L6 vs. PDX on the road, and 2-7 ATS L9 vs. PDX. 1-5 L6 vs. West Teams. For PDX, 8-4 ATS L12. Anyways, I'm on PDX tonight. I'll be watching this game just so I can listen to Kevin Calabro go crazy. (My fav. NBA announcer) You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Oregon -6.5 Kent State (7-2, 1-0 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) take on Oregon (7-3, 5-0 HOME, 6-4 ATS) The Ducks have been a good bounce back team this season. They’re wrapping up their non conference schedule here against a Kent team that has been hot and cold throughout the beginning of this season. Oregon has been battling injuries but this team still has put up some impressive numbers. They’re going to lean on G Jackson Shelstad here. He put in 16 points in the game against the Orange and right now he is the most dangerous scorer on this Oregon side with the injuries they’re dealing with. Still, they matchup well with Kent State, who has been inconsistent at times. This team likes to play fast, but after losing their top 3 scorers this past offseason, they’re still trying to find their identity. G Reggie Bass transferred in after being named MAC Freshman of the year and he simply has not been able to fit in and was moved to the bench. Kent’s defense has lacked at times as well and this Oregon team can expose their flaws in the paint. The Golden Flashes have struggled rebounding and the Ducks will try and crash the glass here. Kent hasn’t played in well over a week and the rust will show in this one. Trends, UO are 4-1 ATS L5, 13-5 SU L18, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 7-0 SU L7 vs. MAC Teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-21-23 | Colgate v. Iona -1 | 65-85 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Iona -1 Colgate (6-5, 5-5 ATS, 1-3 AWAY) take on Iona (4-7, 2-2 HOME, 5-6 ATS) tonight. 7pm ET tip off from the Hynes Athletics Center. Iona is at a nice number in this situational spot. The Gaels need to turn things around after what’s been a very underwhelming start to the year. However, this team is well coached and this is the perfect spot for them to get things rolling again. They have seen a bit of a turnaround going 2-2 over their last 4 games and in the two wins, it’s been the defense that has stepped up. They’re giving up 72.5 ppg, but in the two wins, they allowed just 67 and 54 points against. This is the kind of game where they can turn that defensive pressure up against an inconsistent Colgate team. Colgate has looked good at times, but also has struggled on the offensive end in some of their losses this year. On the road, it’s been a similar story as they just can’t find that consistency. They average just over 70 points a game and they’re going to play at a slower pace which will favor this Iona side. The Gaels will look for Idan Tretout to step up as he’s the key to this offense going. When he goes, the Gaels feed off his energy. Back Iona tonight -1. Trends, COL are 3-9 ATS L12 in DEC. Iona are 17-3 SU L20 at home, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Patriot league teams. Plus, they're 16-4 L20 December matchups. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-20-23 | North Carolina v. Oklahoma +3 | 81-69 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 25 m | Show | |
Oklahoma +3 The Sooners carry their undefeated streak here into the Jumpman Invitational on Wednesday. In the other game of this invitational we backed Florida, who got us a victory on Tuesday night. Oklahoma is being undervalued in this spot. The Tar Heels have dropped 2 in a row to #5 UConn and #14 Kentucky as they have struggled against top teams in the country. Now, they get another top team where they don’t match up well. The Sooners have outscored their opponents 84.4 to 61.3 this season. They blew the doors off Green Bay last time out as this team plays with such pressure on both ends of the floor. They suffocate opposing shooters and they’ll look to do just that here against a UNC team trying to find its consistency. Another huge edge is the rebounding side. The Tar Heels struggled mightily and were out rebounded 43-32 to Kentucky in their loss. Kentucky got 18 offensive rebounds and the Sooners are going to try and crash the glass here even more. The value sits with the Sooners. Trends, OU are 5-1 ATS L6, and 10-0 SU L10. UNC are 2-4 ATS L6, and 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Big 12 teams. Plus they're 0-5 ATS in their L5 in December.

12-20-23 | Lakers v. Bulls +4.5 | 108-124 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Bulls +4.5 It's been a rough week for me picking NBA games. So treading lightly on tonight's NBA card. I had plays on the Pelicans -6 and the Celtics -5 Tuesday. Both teams led by 17+ points at one point in the second half of their games. NEITHER team covered. It's that kind of week. The Lakers lost 114-109 to New York as the favorites by five points. Meanwhile, the Bulls won 108-104 against Philadelphia, even though they were the underdogs by 10.5 points. Chicago has value here, grabbing the points. The Lakers had some things exposed last time out as the Knicks dominated them in the 2nd half. The Lakers defensively were just a mess and that’s been a problem for them at times here in 2023. They give up 114 points per game but they have had issues with allowing quick spurts. The Knicks finished the third quarter on a 15-2 run to create the separation. The Lakers will be a problem here against the Bulls, who play with a ton of aggression. Chicago has momentum as well. They took down the 76ers last time out in a game where they held them to just 104 points. The Bulls have had spurts this season where they have played well against top competition. Chicago can slow things down and take teams out of rhythm. They can force the Lakers into a slower pace and that’s going to be the key here. The Bulls have won 3 of the last 4 in this head to head series as they always seem to have the Lakers number. 3/26/23 was the last machup, a 118-108 Bulls win. Trends, LAL are 1-4 ATS L5. Bulls are 8-1 ATS L9, 6-3 L9 SU, and 7-1 ATS L8 in DEC. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-20-23 | Baylor +3.5 v. Duke | 70-78 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Baylor +3.5 The Bears have value at this number. Baylor suffered their first loss of the season and it’s one they need to just throw away and forget as they had nothing go right in that one. It’s still a great start to this campaign as Baylor has proven they can score quickly and beat the opposition with many different weapons. They’re putting up over 88 points per game still this season even despite their struggle last week and they have some of the best guard play in the nation. Not only can they shoot the 3 as good as anyone, but their ability to attack is also one of the tops in the nation. Duke comes in off a 7 day lay off and this is not a team you want to see after having a week off. The Blue Devils have struggled against top teams and on the road this year. They fell at home to Arizona and also dropped consecutive games at Arkansas and Georgia Tech. With this being at MSG, it’s another (away from home) game where they will have issues. Baylor is the better team and we get points here in this spot. The Bears defense can slow this Duke team down, as they allow under 70 points per game and will put on relentless defensive pressure from the outset. Trends, Baylor are 4-1 ATS L5, 9-1 SU L10, and 18-2 SU L20 in December. On the other side Duke are 1-6 ATS in their L7 as a favorite of 3-13pts. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-19-23 | Celtics -5 v. Warriors | 126-132 | Loss | -110 | 21 h 15 m | Show | |
Celtics -5 On Tuesday night, it's a big showdown at Chase Center in San Francisco as the Warriors (12-14, 6-6 HOME, 11-15 ATS) clash with the Boston Celtics (20-5, 6-5 AWAY, 12-11-2 ATS) at 10pm ET, airing on TNT. The Celtics come in as the favored team with a 5-point advantage on the road. The total points expected in this matchup is 231.5. When it comes to the Moneyline, the odds stand at Boston -224 and Golden State +183. The Celtics are finally leaving the friendly eastern time zone. This is a 4 game stretch of games through California, and they play 13 of their next 20 on the road. If there' sa hotter team than the Celtics point them out to me ok? 5-0 on their recent homestand, winners of 9 of their last 11. They averaged 122PPG at home. Warriors are home now for an extended stretch. Crazy stat. GSW play close games. ALL of their most recent 13 matchups was within 5 points in the last 5 minutes of the game. Stats, Celtics are #7 PPG, and #3 on DEF. Warriors #13 PPG and #20 on DEF. Celtics the best on the defensive glass, surprisingly GSW are #7 on the OFF glass, but that could be skewed towards have Green, who is out now for at least a couple weeks. BIG LOSS. Trends, Celtics are 4-1 ATS L5 playing on 1-day rest, and are 5-0 SU L5, and 4-1 ATS L5, plus they're 4-1 SU L5 vs. WESTERN teams, and 5-1 SU L6 vs. Pacific DIV teams. On the flip side, the Warriors are 2-4 ATS L6, 6-12 SU L18, and randomly are 0-5 L5 Tuesday night games. Injuries, Porzingis (BOS) and Paul (GSW) are both questionable to play on Tuesday. Last time these two met was a 121-118 BOS win on 1/19/23. You know what to do. Boston can shoot the 3, GSW can't defend it, that's the X Factor here. I'm expecting Boston to win this game by 10+, sit back and grab a bevvie and enjoy the WIN. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-19-23 | Grizzlies v. Pelicans -6 | 115-113 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 48 m | Show | |
Pelicans -6 The Grizzlies (6-18, 91-5 ATS, 5-7 AWAY) and the Pelicans (16-11, 16-10-1 ATS, 9-4 ATS) will clash in New Orleans on Tuesday. Tip off is at 7:30pm ET from the Smoothie King Center. The Grizzlies will play their second game in as many nights, having faced OKC the previous night, where they suffered a 103-96 loss to the Rockets. Meanwhile, the Pelicans dominated the Spurs 146-110 on Sunday, beating the 8-point spread. The Pelicans have won their last two encounters, including a 111-104 road victory on October 25 in their first matchup of the season. Memphis gets Ja Morant back as this team looks to try and figure things out after an awful start. However, this is a nice spot to fade them for a few reasons. While they will get a boost offensively with Morant back, defensively this team has been atrocious. They’ve dropped 5 in a row and all of those losses have seen them struggle to slow teams down. They just don’t have much of a supporting cast even by Morant’s side that can step up. They’re going to have their hands full with a Pelicans team that loves to play quickly. They’re one of the fastest teams in the NBA and they’re averaging 116 PPG. They’re red hot right now as well, coming in with 4 straight wins and a 146 point performance last time out against the Spurs. New Orleans has one of the best inside out games in the league as they can dominate the paint, while also shooting the 3 ball well. They shit 52.4% from behind the arc in the win over the Spurs and should have their way with this Memphis defense. Trends, MEM 0-5 ATS L5, and 0-5 SU L5, plus they're 6-12 L18 ATS vs. NOP, and 5-12 L17 on the road. On the other side, NOP are 12-5 ATS L17, 5-1 SU L6, 8-0 ATS L8 at home, and 7-1 ATS L8 when playing MEM @ HOME. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-19-23 | Florida -3 v. Michigan | 106-101 | Win | 100 | 19 h 49 m | Show | |
Florida -3 The Florida Gators (7-3, 2-7-1 ATS) take on the Michigan Wolverines (6-5, 5-6 ATS) on Tuesday night in College hoops betting action. We’re on the Gators here in the Jumpman Invitational. The value sits with Florida, who is just a better overall team. The Gators are far more consistent than the Wolverines. Their losses this year have been to good teams, while they were even competitive and took those games down to the wire. Overall, this Florida offense ranks near the top in the nation with 83 points per game. Walter Clayton Jr. is one of the best guards as he comes in averaging 16.5 points per game. His energy sparks this team and he also has a great supporting case around him. Tyrese Samuel (13.9 ppg), Zyon Pullin (12.7 ppg) and Riley Kugel all are huge contributors on an offense that loves to fly. They’re going to overwhelm Michigan in this spot. The Wolverines have 5 losses and some of them have been bad losses. This team just doesn’t have the consistency and they struggle at times to slow teams down. This Florida side will push the tempo on them and put them on their heels from the outset. Grab the Gators to dictate a lot in this game, as they should lean on their ability to attack from many different angles. Trends, FLA are 6-2 SU L8, and UM are 1-4 ATS L5. You know what to do.

12-18-23 | Mavs v. Nuggets OVER 238 | 104-130 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 11 m | Show | |
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 |

12-18-23 | Bulls v. 76ers OVER 227.5 | 108-104 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
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 |

12-17-23 | Wizards v. Suns UNDER 246 | 108-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 33 m | Show | |
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!

San Jose State -2.5 Montana (5-4, 4-2 ATS) take on SJST (6-5, 5-5 ATS) today, and we’re on the Spartans, laying the points here. San Jose State has been a different team when playing at home. They come in undefeated here in this spot after knocking off New Orleans with an 87 point performance. This Spartans team has found some offense as of late, but they’ve relied heavily on the defensive end this year. The Spartans are allowing just 69 points per game this season as they play with a ton of pressure. That number even goes down a bit when they’re playing at home too. They also have got themselves back on the health side. They will get G Trey Anderson back, who has been averaging double figures this season. The Spartans now will have 4 players averaging double digits and they’re going to get a lot of production from many different weapons in this matchup. With the revenge factor in play here, we’re backing the Spartans at home in this spot. Trends, UM come in 2-4 SU L6 on Sunday's, and SJST are 6-0 L6 @ home SU, and 4-1 ATS L5 on Sunday's. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-16-23 | Knicks v. Clippers -5.5 | 122-144 | Win | 100 | 2 h 17 m | Show | |
Clippers -5.5 Knicks lead the season series 1-0. They covered the -1, and the total went UNDER the 224. (11/06/23 111-97 win) New York with a record of (14-10, 12-10-2 ATS), are currently on the third leg of their five-game road trip, and they will be facing the Clippers (14-10, 11-13 ATS) at Crypto.com Arena, with tip-off at 10:30 p.m. ET. I don't know as of 8:10pm ET if Paul George is playing tonight but I trust the LAC enough to still get the job done tonight with or without him. The Knicks have played a ton of hoops of late, and they had to travel last night from Phoenix to LA after the game, sure not a big deal, but still, a deal, and now they get the Clips on a 6-game heater. This just smells rotten to me. Randle / Brunson / Barrett / Hart played a ton last night, they've played a ton this week, and the bottom has to fall out here at some point. So, George or no George the play is LAC -5.5 tonight. Trends, The Clippers have been outperforming their opponents by an average of 3.7 points in the last six games, plus, LAC are 8-0 at home as a 0.5 - 5-5 pt favorite, and are 4-1 ATS L5, plus they're 6-0 L6 SU, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Clips are winning first halves too (Covering by 3.7 PTS L6 games). (Side bet?) The NYK are 0-4 ATS in their L4 following an ATS win. Plus they're 5-15 SU in their L20 vs. LAC. You know what to do.

Creighton -7.5 The Crimson Tide (6-3, 4-5 ATS) are set to face the Bluejays (8-2, 7-2 ATS) at CHI Health Center Omaha on Saturday. The game is scheduled to tip off at 8pm ET and will be broadcast on FOX. We’re on Creighton here, laying the points. Returning home is just what this team needs right now. The Bluejays wanted to get out of Vegas so fast after the loss to UNLV, a game in which they didn’t have anything going on the offensive end. Returning home with this crowd is what they need. They have a chance to come right back with an impressive win against an SEC opponent. Creighton still has averaged 84.5 points per game which is nothing to look over. They need to get back to their roots of playing with tempo. They are at their best when they can push the issue and force the opposing defense into some tough spots in transition. The Crimson Tide allowed 92 points to Purdue last time out and they’re going to struggle against this offense. Letting up 77 points per game, they’ve been let down plenty by their defense, especially on the road. Creighton will come out with fire and take out some frustrations early here. Look for them to push the tempo. Trends, Bama are 0-5 ATS in their L5, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 games on the road, plus, they're 1-7 SU in their L8 against teams in the Big East. On the other side, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and they're 8-1 SU in their L9, finally, they're 6-0 SU in their L6 at home. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-15-23 | Connecticut v. Gonzaga +4.5 | 76-63 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 52 m | Show | |
Gonzaga +4.5 Gonzaga (8-2, 4-5 ATS) aims to extend a three-game home win streak vs. UConn (9-1, 6-4 ATS) at Climate Pledge Arena, in Seattle, WA on Friday. The game airs at 10:00 PM ET on ESPN2. Gonzaga is in a revenge spot here as they grab points in the Continental Tire Tip-Off. Last game out the Zags took down MS Valley 78-40, while UConn comes into this one off of a 101-63 blowout win over ARK-Pine Bluff. We’re backing the Zags for a couple of reasons here. Gonzaga was embarrassed in the Elite 8 last year at the hands of UConn. There are still some players around that haven’t forgot about that defeat. Gonzaga also has played an extremely tough schedule to prep themselves for this game so far. They come into this game with one of the most potent attacks in the nation. There are five Gonzaga players averaging double figures thus far into the season and they have the ability to score in flurries. Coming into play, they’re putting up 84.9 points per game. While their offense has been impressive, it’s really been the defense that has caused opponents issues. Gonzaga concedes just 65.3 points against and with some of the competition that they’ve faced, that’s quite the stand out number. This is the kind of game Gonzaga can use their speed and get out in transition. They can match the Huskies attack in every which way and they’re going to try and push the issue from the opening tip. We’re backing them with the points in a game they have a chance to win outright. Trends, Gonzaga are 6-1 SU in their L7, are 10-2 SU in their L12 vs. Big East teams, and are 10-1 SU in their L11 played in December. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.
