02-03-16 | Wolves v. Clippers -11.5 | 108-102 | Loss | -105 | 15 h 31 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers ATS The Clippers welcome in Minnesota here on Wednesday and situationally this is such a beautiful spot to grab the Los Angeles here. The Timberwolves will be playing a back to back as they played inside the Staples Center on Wednesday with the Purple and Yellow court. It hasn't happened often, but the Lakers were victorious, putting an end to their 10 game losing streak. It's pretty much the story of the Timberwolves season as they have shown they are one of the worst in the NBA. The Clippers have been back to their dominant selves as they have rattled off 4 straight wins, with the last 2 coming by double digits. Los Angeles may be without Blake Griffin right now, but this team is actually a much more consistent team without him. Los Angeles has also owned the Timberwolves too. Since 2012, they are 14-0 SU and 8-5-1 ATS in those meetings. The Clippers have won 7 of 8 home games and are 17-7 SU at home this season. With a tired and young Minnesota team, expect no focus from them here. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

02-03-16 | Oklahoma State +6.5 v. Texas Tech | 61-63 | Win | 100 | 12 h 43 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State +6 The Oklahoma State Cowboys have improved as the season has gone along. Oklahoma State is just as talented as Texas Tech, and we're getting a significant amount of points here. Oklahoma State is coming off a nice road win at Auburn this past weekend. Oklahoma State has fared well as an underdog in the last few seasons. On the other side, Texas Tech is getting a little too much love from the oddsmakers here. Texas Tech is certainly a better team than they have been in the past, but this number suggests they would be a clear favorite on a neutral floor, and I don't think that is justified. Oklahoma State struggled some earlier in the year because they were dealing with the injury to Phil Forte. Now that several other scoring options have stepped up, this Cowboys team is a lot more dangerous. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these two. The Cowboys are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 head to head matchups vs. Tech, and the Red Raiders are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Grab the points. Take Oklahoma State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 8* Wednesday CBB ATS Play |

02-02-16 | Duke -3.5 v. Georgia Tech | 80-71 | Win | 100 | 12 h 15 m | Show | |
Duke Blue Devils ATS The Blue Devils head into Georgia Tech on Tuesday night and this is a prime spot to back Duke here. For the first time in 8 years, Duke sits outside the Top 25. Expect this team to really bring the fire here tonight. Duke has been off since Jan 25 when they fell in Miami and you know this team is itching to get back on the court. They left the court in Miami to chants of "overrated," leaving a sour taste in their mouths. The time off was a good thing for them, it gave them a chance to regroup, get healthy, and get back into their rhythm. Even with their recent struggles, this Duke team isn't as bad as their playing. They rank 2nd in the ACC and 9th in the nation with nearly 85 points per game. They have the talent both interior and exterior to cause fits for the opposition. They come into this one dominating the head to head series with Georgia Tech. Duke has won 8 straight against Georgia Tech and 12 of 13 overall. Expect a hungry and fired up Blue Devils team here on Tuesday. Right from the opening tip, this team will be ready to go and they won't stop running here tonight. Back Duke ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-01-16 | The Citadel v. Chattanooga OVER 175 | 85-125 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
The Citadel vs. Chattanooga over If you're looking for defense, don't watch any of The Citadel's games. They take on Chattanooga on Monday night with the total sitting at 175. Anytime this team takes the floor, the over is extremely valuable. Overall, The Citadel averages 85.7 points per game and concedes 94.3. On the road, things get even better and worse for them. They average 86.3 points while conceding a ridiculous 100.2. Their totals have sat from anywhere in the 160s to the 180s. Still, this team brings in a record of 9-4 on the over and 4-1 on the road. They'll have the unfortunate task here of going up against 63rd best shooting team in the nation. Chattanooga shoots 46.1% a game and averages 80.0 points per home game. The over has gone 3-1 in 4 totaled home games for the Mocs. Over is 3-1-1 in the last 5 meetings.Over is 8-3 in Mocs last 11 home games.Over is 29-10 in Bulldogs last 39 overall. Expect a very fast paced game with both teams exchanging buckets. This has the making to see one or even both teams near or above that 100 point mark. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

02-01-16 | North Carolina +1.5 v. Louisville | 65-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
North Carolina ATS The Tar Heels head into Louisville to take on the Cardinals and anytime UNC is catching points, it's too tough to pass up situationally. North Carolina can remove all doubt here for the most part in the ACC with a victory over Louisville. They already hold a 2 game lead on them as the Tar Heels are a perfect 8-0 this season in conference play. The Cardinals don't come into this one with much confidence as they had their worst loss at home in the 6 year history of the building. Virginia came in and absolutely dominated from start to finish in a 16 point loss. Louisville managed just 14 points in the first half in what was their worst showing of the season. The loss not only was bad for their fans to see, but it also really put a damper on them getting the ACC regular season title. Marcus Paige played extremely well in the Tar Heel's win over Boston College, which was a nice sight to see as he is finally back on track. Paige had 12 points and looked more in control, which was something he was missing during a bad stretch this season. The Tar Heels took 2 of 3 meetings head to head last season and in their lone loss they actually held an 18 point lead before blowing it completely. Still, this team is a very talented bunch and knows with a win on Monday, they can really separate themselves from the pack. Back North Carolina ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-31-16 | Wolves v. Blazers -7 | 93-96 | Loss | -101 | 13 h 37 m | Show | |
Portland ATS The Trail Blazers welcome in the Minnesota Timberwolves Sunday night and this is clear cut mis match here. Minnesota is completely lost right now while the Trail Blazers are picking up steam. Portland has won 3 straight games, all of which have been by double digits. Portland has relied on Damien Lillard all season long and while he's producing at a high level right now, he's getting a lot of help from more than just CJ McCollum. This is the first time really all season that the Trail Blazers are getting production from multiple players. On the Minnesota side of things, they've dropped 3 in a row and have completely lost it on the defensive side. They given up 114, 126, and 103 in the 3 losses. Portland has also owned Minnesota this season and overall. They are 2-0 already against Minnesota here in the 2015-2016 campaign, but 32-7 SU and 29-9-1 ATS in the last 39 games. Over the last 10 games Portland is 9-0-1 ATS against them. With how bad Minnesota is on the road (7-16 SU), and how poorly they're playing right now, combined with Portland playing at a high level currently, this is a solid play here on the Trail Blazers. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-31-16 | Oregon v. Arizona State OVER 151 | 91-74 | Win | 100 | 7 h 44 m | Show | |
Oregon vs. Arizona State Over 151 The Oregon Ducks offense has been on fire of late. The Ducks have scored 87, 89, 86, and 83 points in their last four games. Oregon always likes to play uptempo when they can, and Arizona State should give them that chance tonight. Arizona State has a new coach in Bobby Hurley this year, and Hurley has always been a guy that prefers to push the pace of the game. In league play, Arizona State is pushing the tempo even more than they did earlier in the year. Arizona State's defense has been torched by several good offenses this month. The Sun Devils allowed 94 points against Arizona. They allowed 81 against UCLA. They gave up 89 against USC. They'll give up a lot here against a very good Oregon offense. Over is 5-2 in Ducks last 7 games following a ATS win. Over is 6-0 in Sun Devils last 6 overall. Over is 6-0 in Sun Devils last 6 vs. Pac 12. This should be a close and high scoring game all the way. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* Sunday CBB O/U Play |

Pittsburgh Panthers ATS The Panthers welcome in Virginia Tech on Sunday for a crucial ACC battle and the home side has plenty of value here. The Panthers are much better on both sides of the ball and are a very good team at home. There's no such thing as a must win right now, but this is as close as it gets for the Panthers. Pittsburgh has dropped 3 of 5 and has fallen to the middle of the pack in the ACC. After this one, they get #12 Virginia, #13 Miami, and #1 North Carolina. Grabbing a win against this weak Virginia Tech team is important for their confidence and for their place in the ACC standings. Pittsburgh has played much better at home this season as well. The Panthers are 12-2 SU and have played very solid on both sides of the ball. They average 81.9 points per game while conceding just 65.5 points against. Pittsburgh is also solid in this spot situationally. After a loss, the Panthers have responded with blowouts the following game. Look for Pittsburgh to do that again here. With them at home and how good they play inside Petersen Events Center, a double digit win is something that should be expected from them on Sunday. Back Pittsburgh ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Golden State Warriors ATS The Warriors head into Philadelphia on Saturday evening and this unfortunately for the 76ers is a spot they don't want to be in. Golden State has lost just 2 games this month and are currently on a 5 game winning streak all against top NBA opponents. Here's where this gets very interesting, Golden State hasn't had any problem beating the top teams by huge margins. Their lowest margin was a 12 point win against Indiana and they've beaten Cleveland (by 34), Chicago (by 31), San Antonio (by 30), and Dallas (by 20). The Warriors have had no problem handling the spread on the road as they are 16-7-1 ATS away from home. Things aren't pretty for Philadelphia at all. The 76ers are just 4-17 SU at home and in those 21 games, they are just 8-12-1 ATS. With the Warriors getting an extra day to rest, this big number shouldn't be any problem for them to cover. They're just way too talented for this 76ers team to even allow them to keep it within reason. -The favorite has covered in 8 of 10 meetings. Back the Warriors ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Louisiana Monroe -6 The Louisiana Monroe Warhawks have played much better on their home floor this year. The Warhawks are led by star Majok Deng. Louisiana Monroe had a really tough stretch of scheduling for a long period of time earlier this year, and that wore them down. Now that they are home and rested, this team is playing up to their potential. Louisiana Monroe is a strong defensive team that was accustomed to needing to grind out games to win, but recently they have found their offense. Monroe made 15 from long range to beat UT Arlington in an upset on Thursday night. In the past, Monroe has played the same style of game that Texas State plays, which is extremely slow. Monroe has had success lately by changing it up and playing some uptempo basketball. That new style of basketball should give them an edge against a Texas State team that has virtually no offense. Warhawks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400 and are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Take Louisiana Monroe. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-29-16 | Northern Kentucky v. Detroit -7.5 | 91-83 | Loss | -104 | 5 h 28 m | Show | |
Detroit -7.5 The Detroit Titans are a really high scoring team. Detroit has a ton of guys who can beat you, and they are at home here to take on Northern Kentucky. Northern Kentucky has played pretty well recently, but all that has done is give us more value on the Detroit side. Northern Kentucky lost by 17 at Toledo. They lost by 16 at Green Bay. They also lost by 9 at Milwaukee. Recently, they shot the lights out and won at Oakland. That's an impressive win, but we can't forget the fact that this Northern Kentucky team was beaten badly by most other decent opponents. Detroit has gone through a brutal scheduling stretch and that has them on a five game losing streak. It's important to note that all of those games were very close. This isn't a bad team. This sets up as a great spot for them to "get things right" and pick up a win and a cover. Titans are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. Norse are 7-15 ATS in their last 22 games overall. Take Detroit ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Pepperdine vs. San Diego Under 132 The San Diego Toreros have an awful offense. San Diego is averaging just 60.8 points per game on the season. They are shooting a ridiculously low 38.6 percent from the floor overall. San Diego shoots 27.6 percent from three-point range. Under is 5-1 in Toreros last 6 home games. Under is 18-7-2 in Toreros last 27 games following a straight up loss. Pepperdine has a decent offense, and a very good defense. The Waves have been a strong under team for a long time. The under is 19-8-1 in their last 28 games overall. Pepperdine is likely to lock down San Diego and turn this into a low scoring game. Neither team likes to run, so unless the shooting numbers are abnormally high, this one looks like an under all the way. Lots of bad shots and defense that is better than the offense is to be expected here. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Thursday 7* CBB O/U Play |

Syracuse Orange ATS The Orange welcome in Notre Dame to the always tough place to play in the Carrier Dome for a huge Big East conference clash. Syracuse has absolutely dominated this series. The Orange have won 4 straight at home and 6 of the last 7 head to head. Notre Dame has had no answer for the Cuse offense in this series. Things also go from bad to worse for Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish will be without leading scorer and go to clutch factor Demetrius Jackson for this one. Jackson pulled his hamstring in the win over Boston College and will miss an extended period of time. He leads ND with 16.6 points per game, which will leave a giant gap in the Fighting Irish offense. Look for the Orange to continue their stifling defense here once again. Cuse ranks 36th in the nation with just 64.7 points against. They are the 12th best at defending the 3 as they allow opponents to shoot just 29.4% from behind the arc. With Notre Dame not having their leading scorer, combined with how well the Orange play against ND, this situationally makes sense. Look for the Irish to really struggle here and for Syracuse to once again dominate this one. Back Syracuse ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS |

Mercer Bears -14.5 Mercer and VMI battle it out on Thursday night and the Bears offer tremendous value as they are a clear cut better team in every single aspect of the game. Record wise, the Bears are 14-6 while VMI is just 6-12. The Bears sit at 4-3 in the conference and are just 2 games back of first place. VMI sits in dead last with just a 1-6 conference record as they have had just a horrible season. Mercers record is very misleading as well. They have dropped two straight both taken into overtimes with one going into double. Another one of their losses came at Auburn where they held tough with the Tigers throughout. The offensive numbers are extremely different here too. Mercer is shooting 44.7% from the field, while VMI is a horrific 38.2%. The last time these two teams met, Mercer had no problem as they handled the Cadets 89-61. Look for a very similar game here. This may be a different season, but VMI is just too poor on both sides of the ball to keep this within reason. Expect a Bears route here. Back Mercer ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-27-16 | Suns v. Cavs OVER 210 | 93-115 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
Suns vs. Cavaliers over The Phoenix Suns head into Cleveland on Wednesday night and the over holds some solid value here. Cleveland's new style of offense is run and gun type now with Tyrone Lue as the new head coach. While it's only been two games, this has noticeably led to their defense struggling as well. Take last game for example. The Cavaliers put up 114 points, but allowed a Minnesota team, that doesn't score much, to put up 107. On the Suns side of things, this team plays zero defense themselves. Phoenix allows a ridiculous 110.3 points per game on the road. Phoenix is the same way as Cleveland now as they like to run out and get quick shots up, which leads to the opposition getting easy transition buckets. This has the making of very fast paced game with a lot of back and forth action. Expect the Cavaliers to really push the tempo here as they look to get to the buck in transition and then will look for the 3 point opportunities when the Suns are set in their man to man offense. As for Phoenix, they are an inside out team. They'll look down low and their big men will try to find the shooters outside. With Cleveland's struggles on defense lately, expect the Phoenix shooters to find a lot of room outside. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

Xavier Musketeers ATS The Musketeers head into Providence for a huge Big East matchup and the visitors show some solid value with them either at a PK or even catching a point at some places. Regardless, this team is much better and this is a perfect spot to back them as a win here really sets them up going forward. Xavier and Providence both sit at 5-2 in the conference and in the Top 10 in the nation. Not only does this win set one of these teams up going forward for a top seed in the conference, but it also gives them a solid resume building win for the tournament. Xavier is a much quicker and more physical team. They have the ability to shoot the 3 ball and also dominate the paint. From the outside Trevon Bluiett has recorded at least 15 points in 5 straight games as he hit 3 of his 6 three pointers attempted against Seton Hall. James Farr is the go to guy in the paint. He put up 24 and 15 against Seton Hall and his physically down low is a lot for opponents to handle. This Musketeers bunch really is good at playing inside out. They can work the paint and their big men will have no problem locating shooters outside. This makes this team that much more dangerous and tough to stop. Look for Xavier to run here and not allow Providence to really find any rhythm as they grab a road conference win that sets them up big time going forward. Back Xavier ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Oklahoma Sooners ATS The Sooners welcome in Texas Tech for a Big 12 showdown and with them being at home, this is a solid spot to see a real blowout here. Oklahoma has bounced around the Top 10 and continue to bounce back and forth between number 1 and number 2. This team certainly has the talent, but they've ran into some tough luck on the road. At home though, things have been different story. Oklahoma has gone 9-0 this season at home as they average 87.0 points per game, while conceding just 67.0. Dating back to last season, they've ran of 16 straight home wins. They currently have potential Player of the Year in Buddy Hield who is playing at an unreal level. The Sooners star guard has averaged 25.7 points per game while grabbing nearly 6 rebounds. The Red Raiders come into this one struggling having dropped 5 of 6 overall as they're really struggling to get stops defensively. That doesn't bode well when you're going up against one of the best offensive teams in the nation. Look for Oklahoma to really send a message here and take it to Texas Tech as the Red Raiders simply do not have enough fire power to keep up here on the road. Back Oklahoma ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sacramento Kings ATS The red hot Kings welcome in the Charlotte Hornets Monday night and this team has become a very nice value play as of late. Sacramento has won 5 straight and DeMarcus Cousins is on a tear right now. Cousins has easily been the best player in the NBA in the month of January as he's torching team after team inside the paint. Cousins has averaged 32.5 points to go along with 13.7 rebounds this month. He comes in off a performance against Indiana that saw him go for 48 points in an 11 point win. This is a clear cut mismatch of an opponent for him as nobody can stop him on Charlotte. Both Al Jefferson and Cody Zeller are injured, leaving the Hornets very thin in the paint. Also making matters better for the Kings, Nicolas Batum and Jeremy Lamb are both injured, leaving depth a major issue here for Charlotte. The Hornets are also a horrid road team. They've gone just 5-15 SU this season and are scoring under the 100 point plateau on average per game. While it's tough to lay the points with this Sacramento team, the Kings are playing at such a high level, they are worth the risk here. Back Sacramento ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Iowa State -2 The Iowa State Cyclones host the Kansas Jayhawks at Hilton Coliseum on Monday night in a huge Big 12 showdown. Kansas has been a major thorn in Iowa State's side, and the Cyclones are definitely going to be geared up for this one. Iowa State has looked much better in the past few games. They showed a lot in their home win over a very complete Oklahoma team last Monday. They also did well in a letdown spot against TCU on Saturday afternoon. The Cyclones are an extremely experienced team, and that experience will help a lot in a game like this. Led by Niang and Morris, the Cyclones have great ball handlers and multiple scoring options. Kansas may have the higher upside of these two teams, but Hilton Coliseum is a really tough place to play and Kansas hasn't yet proven they can get the job done against elite teams on the road. Back the Cyclones with the short number at home. Take Iowa State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Razor's Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Cleveland Cavaliers ATS Oh how the drama has unfolded in Cleveland. The Cavaliers welcome in the Chicago Bulls Saturday night for NBA on ABC and they'll be going at it with a brand new coach. You read that right, Cleveland parted ways with David Blatt, even though they are atop the Eastern Conference standings. It didn't take long for them to find a head coach, as Tyrone Lue was not only promoted, but was also signed to a multi year contract just minutes after the firing. So many questions have surrounded this Cavaliers team for not playing well against good teams. Now, more questions poise as they now have been given zero excuses for their play going forward. The person they blamed continuously is now gone, putting a lot more pressure on the players to perform. What better way for Cleveland to come out pumped up Saturday with this game being against a big Eastern Conference foe on national TV. Look for the Cavaliers to control the paint and game here as the Bulls are on a back to back and simply scuffling. They've lost it on both sides of the floor, as they're just a mess right now. Look for an inspired Cavaliers play here on Saturday with a very lopsided win coming about. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Kent State ATS The Golden Flashes head into Bowling Green on Saturday for some MAC play and the Golden Flashes lay a very small number here. Kent right now is the class of the East and winning games like this against weaker conference foes is a must if this team hopes to take the next step. Kent State sits first in the MAC East and have three 3-2 teams behind them. One of which is the Bowling Green Falcons. With Kent already losing to Buffalo at home, and two matchups against arch rival Akron looming still, grabbing the early tie breaker against the Falcons would be a huge momentum builder for Kent. Kent's interior game has been dominant thus far too. Jimmy Hall continues to be a force down low. Hall has averaged 15.2 points to go along with nearly 7 rebounds per game this season. Kent State has played through him time after time, but defenses are starting to realize that. The good news here? Jimmy Hall has 100 court awareness. Teams have double teamed him, but he's strong with the ball and is able to find the open guy for an easy bucket. Not much has phased this Kent State team. Bowling Green doesn't shoot the ball all that well, which poses very well for Kent here. Expect the Golden Flashes to really be a force inside and cause havoc. Back Kent State ATS.

Vanderbilt +6 The Vanderbilt Commodores are a much better team than they have shown this year. To be fair, they have played a very tough schedule, and there aren't really any bad losses. Vanderbilt just beat Tennessee on the road though, and that should help them build some momentum. Kentucky is coming off a nice win at Arkansas. The young Wildcats were hungry in that one, but they are unlikely to be able to be quite as pumped up for this one. On the other hand, Vanderbilt badly wants a big win to hang their hat on for the NCAA Tournament. As of now, Vanderbilt would be a bubble team. Vanderbilt has a lot of very good shooters, and they have a good center in Jones. Kentucky's frontcourt has been disappointing this year, and I think with Kornet and Jones Vanderbilt actually has the advantage down low. Grab the points in what should be a close game. Take Vanderbilt. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Boise State -5.5 The Boise State Broncos have a big advantage when they take on Wyoming on Saturday night. Boise State is already a better team than Wyoming, but in this one they'll have a much bigger advantage than they thought they would. Why will that advantage be much bigger? Wyoming star Josh Adams is suspended for this game. Adams is Mr. Everything for this team. Adams is averaging 24.6 points per game. He also takes 35% of the shots for the team as a whole. He is their primary ball handler. Wyoming relies on Adams in a big way, and without him they will likely look lost. Boise State already has nice road wins at Nevada and at Utah State this year. Wyoming just lost at home to Nevada, and that was with Adams. One other important factor, Boise State lost to Wyoming in overtime in the Mountain West Tournament last year. They'll look to get some revenge by winning on the road here. They should get it easily without Adams playing. Take Boise State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday *Rare 10* CBB ATS *TOP PLAY* |

01-22-16 | Spurs v. Lakers +15.5 | 108-95 | Win | 100 | 14 h 43 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Lakers ATS The Lakers welcome in the 2nd best team in the West and catch mid double digits here at home. While it's crazy to back a bad team against one of the best, with this many points and the situation at hand, the Lakers hold some solid value. For the Spurs, this is a very solid spot for them to overlook the Lakers and not give their best game by any means. First off, this is the 2nd leg of a back to back. They were in Phoenix late Thursday night and traveled in the morning hours into Los Angeles. Also, Monday is the game they've been waiting for all season long. San Antonio finally gets a chance to show the country they can beat the Warriors. Given the situation, it's likely the Spurs really don't care about a 9 win team on the 2nd end of a back to back and with their biggest game of the season thus far awaiting them on Monday. With this game also being in the Staples Center, it gives the Lakers a better chance to put up a fight here. They've shown signs of life at home recently with close games against the Thunder and Clippers, along with a win over New Orleans. Catching this many points, in this spot, is a solid move with Los Angeles. Don't expect the Spurs to be on their A, or even B game here as they simply have other things on their minds. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-21-16 | Troy State v. Louisiana-Monroe -6 | 74-85 | Win | 100 | 12 h 37 m | Show | |
Louisiana Monroe -6 The Louisiana Monroe Warhawks have lost four straight games. All four of those games were on the road. The Warhawks are a veteran team that was expected to be one of the better teams in the Sun Belt. While they haven't looked like it so far in the league this year, I still think they are a quality team. Troy just lost six games in a row and then won their last game to break that losing streak. It's common for a team to have a "letdown" factor into the next game after breaking one of those streaks, especially when the team isn't any good. Troy isn't a good team, and the Trojans have played a very weak schedule this year. Monroe beat Troy by nine at home last year, and I think they can be expected to win this one by nine points or more. Take Louisiana Monroe. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-21-16 | Kentucky -1.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 80-66 | Win | 100 | 11 h 44 m | Show |
Kentucky ATS The Wildcats look to stop the bleeding when they head into Arkansas on Thursday night. We get a very solid line on a much better team thanks to their recent couple games, but it gives them a lot of value here. The Wildcats have to be licking their chops ready to get back at it after falling on Saturday to Auburn on the road. With the loss, the Wildcats now find themselves at #19 in the nation, which is far worse than this Kentucky team deserves. Don't forget, this is the same team that has beat Duke and Louisville this season. They'll be going up against an Arkansas team that has a decent record, but really hasn't played anybody this season. And when they do run into a good team, they haven't shown up. This Razorback team has played two big games this season, Texas A&M and LSU. They have lost both and also have added a compliment of bad losses to teams such as Akron and Mercer. What makes this such a nice play is the fact that Kentucky head coach John Calipari isn't even worried about the team's loss on Saturday. He told reporters after the game he's not worried about his team and that it's only January. Calipari is one of the best and will certainly have his team ready to go here. Look for a hungry Wildcats team to come out with fire here on Thursday, making this play a thing of beauty. Back Kentucky ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 10* CBB TOP PLAY |

01-20-16 | Hawks v. Blazers +2.5 | 104-98 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
Portland ATS The Trail Blazers welcome in Atlanta on Wednesday night and they catch a couple points here as a slim home underdog. Situationally, they are in a good a spot to back here. Atlanta has struggled against the Northwest Division. They haven't covered in 7 of their last 8 games against Northwest foes. To make matters worse for them here, they begin a stretch 4 straight road games and 6 of 7 on the road. Atlanta just simply hasn't been a good road team this season. They are .500 away from home and have covered in just 9 of 20 road contests. They dropped their latest two road games to weak opponents in the Bucks and Hornets and have fell in 4 straight away from home overall. Portland also comes into this one with some serious steam. They've won 4 of their last 5 and come in off one of their most impressive performances of the season on Monday. CJ McCollum put up 25 points and drilled 6 3-pointers. Portland has averaged 11 3-pointers per game this season. With Portland catching points here, they have a lot of value considering how hot they've been. Combine that with the Hawks poor road play and the Trail Blazers are a solid move here. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-20-16 | Texas v. West Virginia -12 | 56-49 | Loss | -106 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
West Virginia ATS The Mountaineers welcome in Texas on Wednesday and lay double digits here. Even with the high spread, this team is far more better, especially with the home/road splits, making them valuable in this position. WVU is a perfect 8-0 at home this season. In lined games, they are 4-1 ATS and are 9-5 ATS overall. This Mountaineer team has prided themselves on defense and has been able to slow opponents down on a consistent basis game after game. At home, they're allowing the opposition to record just 57.6 points per game. Overall, they allow just 63.8, which is the lowest in the conference. Their offense has been as equally as good. At home, they average a ridiculous 91.1 points per game. They've won 8 of 9 overall, which also includes a win over #3 Kansas. On the road side of things, Texas has gone 2-5 ATS away from home. They haven't been good defensively as they allow 71.0 points per road game. That doesn't bode well for them as they're going up against one of the best offensive teams in the country. Expect the Mountaineers to really get out and fly in transition and to seriously control the paint as Texas and their horrid defense just can't get consistent stops against this good of an offense. Lay the points. Back West Virginia ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-20-16 | UCF -2.5 v. South Florida | 64-54 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
UCF ATS The AAC features a pair of teams going in complete opposition directions here on Wednesday night. This is the opposite of football as UCF comes in hot while the South Florida Bulls look to stop the bleeding. This is a solid spot here to back the road team in UCF and lay the points as they are simply just better than their opponent. The Knights are currently 3rd in the conference and within striking distance of the top spot. They've won 3 of 4 within the conference and have won 8 of their last 11 games. They come in off their most complete and dominant performance of the season as East Carolina proved no match for them on Saturday as they routed them by 20. UCF has been one of the best bets for backers this season as they are 11-2 overall ATS and 4-1 ATS on the road. On the other side of things USF has been horrible. South Florida has fallen into last place in the conference and has lost 11 of their last 12 overall. They are just 3-9 SU at home this season as home court has not been an advantage for them at all. Don't expect the Bulls to put up a fight here. The Knights are hot and haven't showed any signs of slowing down here, making them valuable on Wednesday night. Back UCF ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-19-16 | Eastern Michigan v. Akron -5.5 | 88-92 | Loss | -106 | 17 h 27 m | Show | |
Akron Zips ATS The Zips welcome in the Eastern Michigan Eagles for a conference showdown and the Zips open at a generous price here, giving them value. The Zips came into this season as heavy favorites to win the MAC, but suffered back to back road defeats, making this home contest very important for them. The good news for Akron is that they're a much different team at home than on the road. Akron is a perfect 7-0 at home this season. They've already defeated a MAC opponent inside James A. Rhodes Arena as they took Western Michigan by 9 points. As far as Eastern Michigan is concerned, they've been a bad road team. They bring in just a 3-5 SU record away from home. With 7 of those games being lined, the Eagles are only 2-5 ATS. Their problems stem on the defensive end. EMU has allowed 80.2 points against over those 8 road games. That doesn't bode well for them as they're going up against a team that scores 76.7 points per home game. Akron is in a position situationally here where they need to grab a win. Going against a weak road opponent is just what they need here. Back Akron ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-18-16 | Nets v. Raptors UNDER 198.5 | 100-112 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 25 m | Show | |
Nets vs. Raptors under 198.5 The Brooklyn Nets have been a good under team of late. The under is 4-0 in their last 4 road games and 7-1 in their last 8 vs. the Eastern Conference. Brooklyn has a lot less offensive firepower than most of the NBA. Toronto has definitely been better on defense this year than they were a year ago. The Raptors know they can't simply outscore everyone in the much improved Eastern Conference. They aren't playing as fast as they did last year either. With Brooklyn unlikely to get much out of their backcourt, it puts a ton of pressure on their frontcourt to be amazing for this game. Toronto has several good interior defenders, and that should be enough to hold the Nets to a low number here. Toronto grabs an early lead and wins behind the strength of their defense. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA O/U Play |

01-18-16 | Bulls +3 v. Pistons | 111-101 | Win | 100 | 14 h 47 m | Show | |
Chicago Bulls ATS The Bulls head into the Palace to take on the Detroit Pistons and this is certainly a situational spot where the Bulls have a lot of value. Chicago has been reeling lately and certainly aren't playing to their capabilities. On the other side of the things, Detroit is certainly in a let down spot here after they knocked off the Warriors last time out. Chicago certainly isn't as bad as they've played lately. Don't forget, this team was not only picked to be a top team in the East, but they also went through a stretch where they looked like one of the best in the conference. Chicago got 2 days of rest to really regroup, which is another situational positive for them. the Bulls have gone 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games when they have 2 days of rest. The Pistons also haven't responded this season to Monday games. Detroit is 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 Monday games. It's just something about the beginning of a new week for them that they can't get over. There is no such things as "being due for a win." However, Chicago just isn't as bad as they've played and to catch 3 points with this team against a Pistons team that certainly isn't better than them is a nice spot. Back Chicago ATS.

Utah vs. Charlotte under The Jazz and Hornets get set for an afternoon matinee and we get two of the best under bets in the NBA squaring off here. Both of these teams like to use the entire shot clock and work at a very slow pace, making this total very valuable here. First off, looking at O/U records this season, the Jazz bring in a 15-24-1 under record while the Hornets are 8-14-0 at home to the under. The key factor here is Utah. They don't score, nor do they allow their opposition to score. Utah is averaging just 93.8 points per game on the road season, while allowing just 97. They've hit the under 12 times out of their 19 road games this season. For Charlotte, they are a very similar way. They allow just 98.2 points per game at home and have no offensive threats to work with. The under has also been a safe bet when these two teams meet head-to-head. In the last 5 meetings, the total has stayed under the total all 5 times. Expect a similar situation here on Monday, as the under holds tremendous value. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Dallas Mavericks ATS The Mavs head in to San Antonio on Sunday night as the two Texas teams battle it out inside the AT&T Center. The line here is a little inflated, making Dallas a very valuable play. It's caught everyone's attention now, the Spurs are undefeated at home this season. This plays into our advantage here as the Mavs are given a very generous line. This Dallas team is no pushover whatsoever. The Mavericks sit 5 games over the .500 mark on the season and are 24-16-1 ATS. They've played very well on the road this season going 13-9-1 ATS over their 23 road contests. Dallas also comes in off their best defensive performance of the season, which is something they'll have to do here to knock off the Spurs. The Mavs closed down the Bulls as they scored just 77 points on Friday. They had no problem shutting down Jimmy Butler for Chicago and will have the similar task stopping Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Dirk Nowitzki is also playing at a solid level. The Mavs star F has scored 20 or more points in 5 of his last 6 games. Look for Dallas to certainly keep this one close, as they did back on 11/25 as they fell by just 5 points in San Antonio. Back the Mavs ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-16-16 | Warriors -8 v. Pistons | 95-113 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 21 m | Show | |
Golden State Warriors ATS The Warriors head into the Palace of Auburn Hills to take on the Pistons Saturday and the line is quite generous here. The Warriors put in a complete performance against the Lakers on Thursday and matchup very well with the Pistons. They handled them with ease earlier this season inside Oracle Arena as they put up a 109-95 win. Golden State held Detroit to just 47% shooting and really slowed their inside game down, which is the Pistons strong suit. Golden State has also dominated the head-to-head overall in the past seasons. The Warriors are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against Detroit in the Palace. Overall, they are 4-1 ATS in the past 5 meetings. While it's been a tough task for any team, the Pistons will have a tough time slowing down this fast paced, high scoring Warriors offense. They currently average 115.9 points per game away from home this season. They bring in a road record of 18-3 and are 14-6-1 ATS in those 21 games. Home or away, it doesn't matter, this Warriors team has no problem playing. The favorite has dominated this series trends wise, but that is mostly because Golden State is always favorite against them. Look for a lopsided road victory here for the Warriors as they should be able dominate the Pistons. Back Golden State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-16-16 | St Bonaventure v. Duquesne +2.5 | 88-95 | Win | 100 | 15 h 36 m | Show | |
Duquesne +2.5 The Duquesne Dukes have a habit of pulling upsets on their home floor. This is one of the best home court advantages in college basketball, and almost no one knows about it. Duquesne packs in a small gym and the place gets very loud. It's a big advantage for the home team. St. Bonaventure has played really well this year, and they deserve respect, but this is a difficult spot for them. The Bonnies have won several big games in the past couple weeks. At some point, they are going to overlook someone, and I believe that will be here on Saturday against Duquesne. Duquesne has several very good shooters from the outside, and it all starts with Micah Mason. Mason is one of the nation's top shooters. St. Bonaventure has been a team in the past that gives up a lot of open three-pointers, and against Duquesne that is a recipe for disaster. Duquesne fell in overtime at home against St. Bonaventure last year. They get their revenge here. Take Duquesne. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-16-16 | Northern Arizona v. Eastern Washington -11.5 | 73-96 | Win | 100 | 11 h 29 m | Show | |
Eastern Washington -11.5 The Eastern Washington Eagles are a very good home team. Eastern Washington took it to Southern Utah on Thursday and I had Eastern Washington in that game. I'll be backing them again on Saturday night. This time Eastern Washington is matched up against a Northern Arizona team that has been terrible so far this year. Northern Arizona lost 92-37 at Arizona. Now, I know Arizona is a very good team, but putting up 37 points is just downright embarrassing. Northern Arizona also lost by 17 at Cal State Bakersfield. The Lumberjacks of Northern Arizona lost two of their top three offensive players from a year ago, and that's consistently shown up in their performance this year. Northern Arizona is really struggling to score. In the Big Sky Conference, if you struggle to score, you are going to get blown out a lot of times. Take Eastern Washington. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-16-16 | Missouri v. South Carolina -14.5 | 72-81 | Loss | -106 | 9 h 17 m | Show | |
South Carolina -14.5 The South Carolina Gamecocks lost their first game of the season when they were blown out by Alabama in their last game. Frank Martin said after the game he wasn't surprised this happened, because the team had grown complacent and had been having bad practices. I think that loss served as a major wakeup call for South Carolina. Now, South Carolina will face a Missouri team that isn't very good. Missouri also just learned they are ineligible for postseason play based on the past transgressions of Frank Haith when he was the head coach at Missouri. There isn't any real reason for Missouri to be terribly motivated here. South Carolina's defense was excellent early in the year, and I expect that great defense to be back for this game. Missouri doesn't have many good scoring options, and the Tigers aren't likely to be able to hang around for long in this one. Take South Carolina. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Oklahoma City ATS The Thunder take on the Timberwolves Friday night in Oklahoma City and even with a high line, the Thunder have a lot of value here. This is a tale of two teams just going in complete opposite directions. Looking at the Timberwolves first, they have dropped 8 straight games and have zero offense working for them. They've fell in 12 of their last 13 and haven't hit the 100 point mark in 12 straight games prior to their lost against Houston. Minnesota has become increasingly frustrated with the way they've been playing and it's certainly becoming a mental game. With regards to the Thunder, they're just the complete opposite. They've won 17 of 21 overall and have had no problem hitting the 100 point mark. They've scored 100 points in 10 straight games and in 16 of their last 17. Kevin Durant is absolutely on fire right now as well. He's recorded 20 or more points in 25 straight games now and there is just no stopping him. Head to head, this is completely one sided too. Oklahoma City has won 9 straight and have won 22 of the last 25 in the series. Expect a huge win for Oklahoma City here on Friday as the Timberwolves just don't have enough to compete. Back Oklahoma City ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Quinnipiac Bobcats ATS The Bobcats from Quinnipiac welcome in the Siena Saints Friday night and this game is a very misleading one. The normal bettor will see the Saints 10-6 record compared to the Bobcats medicare 5-9 record and think laying the small number here with the road team is smart. However, that is not the case here as the Bobcats have plenty of value. Siena has been a bad road team this season. They are just 2-6 SU on the road and look like a completely different bunch when they're not on their home floor. They are allowing the opposition to score 80.2 points per game when they play away from home. You won't win games as a mid major when you're allowing 80.2 points per game. Quinnipiac hasn't been all that bad either at home. They are 3-3, but they're holding the opposition to just 62.5 points per game. The last time these two teams met was back on 2/27/15 and it was a similar situation to this. The Bobcats took care of business 73-63 as the Saints looked horrid on the defensive end. This spot is a typical pros vs. joes kind of bet. Back the home team in the Bobcats here as they handle the Saints Friday night. Back Quinnipiac ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-14-16 | Lakers v. Warriors -17 | 98-116 | Win | 100 | 22 h 10 m | Show | |
Golden State ATS The Warriors welcome in the Lakers and are huge favorites Thursday night, but that means nothing as this has the ability to be a ridiculous scoreline. Golden State fell to Denver on Wednesday, which was just their 3rd loss on the season. The key here is the Warriors don't let losses snowball by any means. It's actually good for them they play a back to back here, as it gives them a chance to take out their frustrations and erase their bad game. These two teams met back on 1/5 as the Warriors were 11 point favorites and as expected they covered the number with ease. The Warriors used a giant 2nd half to pull away for a 21 point win as they simply showed they were too much for the Lakers. Los Angeles is certainly not at full health either. Kobe Bryant, D'Angelo Russell, and Brandon Bass all continue to battle injuries and aren't even close to 100%. Without these guys near their full capabilities, the Lakers are just a much different, slower, and poorer shooting team. This has also just been a series dominated by the Warriors. They are 5-1 ATS in the last 6 inside Oracle Arena. Overall, they are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Expect a huge win here as the Warriors take a lot of frustrations out on the Lakers. Back the Warriors ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Wright State ATS Horizon League action pins Cleveland State against Wright State on Thursday night and it's the Raiders who have value here. The Vikings from Cleveland State have been exposed this year on many occasions as their youth just isn't enough to compete. Cleveland State has dropped 4 in a row and 5 of 6 overall. They've fell in all 4 Horizon League games this season, one by 18 and another by 20. The Vikings are also horrendous on the road. They bring in a record of 1-5 SU and are getting outscored by 13 points per game. On the Wright State side of things, the Raiders have won 4 of 5 and have impressive wins over Bowling Green and Murray State. At home this season Wright State is 5-1 SU are outscoring their opponents by 11 per home contest. This is simply a matchup where given the home/away circumstances, it is a clear mismatch. The Vikings are just too young and to sloppy to compete in this one with a hot Wright State team. Back Wright State ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Golden State Warriors ATS The Warriors head into Denver to take on a lowly Nuggets and they hold a lot of value here Wednesday night. Golden State is back at it again, not that they ever left or anything along those means though. They've rattled off 7 straight wins and are having their way with the opposition once again. They went into Denver once and had a lopsided victory and while they got taken to overtime the last time these two teams met in Oakland, the Warriors actually held a 26 point lead in that game. Golden State has also been one of the best ATS teams both overall and on the road. The Warriors are 23-14-1 ATS overall and on the road they are 14-5-1 ATS. On the Nuggets side of things, they are much worse. Denver is 17-19-2 ATS and at home they are 5-11-1 ATS. Kenneth Faried may also be out once again as he went home for the birth of his daughter. That is a major missing piece for the Nuggets down low. With the way Draymond Green is playing, along with Curry and company, this team is just too good. Expect a very lopsided win here. Back the Warriors ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Wichita State -13.5 The Wichita State Shockers had a multitude of injuries early in the season. Wichita State lost several games they wouldn't have otherwise lost during that stretch. It made some people think the Shockers weren't as good this year, but they are proving people wrong now. Wichita State is healthy, and they wiping teams off the floor. The Shockers won by 25 at Southern Illinois in their last game. Southern Illinois beat Northern Iowa earlier this year. Wichita State already won by 15 at St. Louis this year also. Missouri State has several key injuries now, and this team is very thin. While their homecourt advantage is a solid one, Wichita State won't be intimidated by that. The Shockers won at Missouri State by 23 points last year. They also beat them 78-35 at home last season. With Wichita State healthy now, they are being undervalued, at least for now. Take Wichita State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

New York Knicks ATS The Knicks head into Brooklyn on Wednesday night and lay a very small number here, giving them a lot of value considering the circumstances. New York is really playing some solid basketball right now. The Knicks have now won 5 of their last 6 and have pushed themselves to the .500 mark. New York comes in off another win on Tuesday as they defeated the Celtics 120-114. Carmelo Anthony did suffered an ankle injury in the 3rd quarter of Tuesday's win, but he is expected to give it a go come Wednesday night. Everyone on this Knicks team has been contributing too. Kristaps Porzingis, Jerian Grant, and Robin Lopez are just a few of the names who have been on fire lately. Lopez especially has been a giant contributor as he has scored in double figures in 4 straight games. On the Nets side of things, this team just hasn't been able to cut it this season. They are currently on a 5 game losing streak and have averaged 82.6 points per game during the stretch. They have also played terribly at home. Brooklyn has now dropped 10 straight inside the Barclays Center. Laying just a small number like this on a hot team against an ice cold team is a nice value play here. Back New York ATS.

Phoenix vs. Indiana over The Suns head into Indiana to take on the Pacers and anytime this Phoenix team takes the floor the over has a good chance of hitting. They like to play fast paced basketball and move up and down the floor in transition. Phoenix has scored 102.6 points per game this season and they have allowed 109.2 points against over their 19 road contests. Indiana has been able to score as well with their lineup back to 100%. they have averaged 102.6 points over their 17 home games this season. Phoenix's defense has been horrid all season long. They rank dead last in the NBA in field goal percentage defense as they allow opponents to shoot 47.5% from the field. The Suns have also been an over team against the Eastern Conference this season. They have gone 6-2-1 to the over in their last 9 against Eastern Conference foes. With a healthy Pacers team, they are extremely dangerous offensively. Paul George, Monta Ellis, and George Hill lead a tough charge that is hard to stop. Paul George is averaging 24.2 points per game this season and attempted 36 three pointers on the Pacers most recent road trip. That bodes well for the over as this Indiana team likes to hoist from anywhere on the floor. Expect a lot of back and forth action with a lot threes being attempted along with transition buckets. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA O/U Play |

New York Knicks ATS The Knicks welcome in the Bucks for a Sunday afternoon showdown and laying the points with the home team here is a solid move. While the Knicks haven't been overpowering this season, they are certainly in the midst of their best stretch of basketball. New York had rattled off 3 straight wins and nearly pulled off the biggest upset of the NBA season last time they took the floor. New York went into undefeated at home San Antonio and gave the Spurs all they could handle. Jose Calderon missed a 3 at the buzzer as they fell just short. Still, the performance was encouraging and even though it was a loss, it may have been their best all around performance this season. Milwaukee has been an abysmal road team this season too. The Bucks are just 5-16 SU away from home and are allowing the opposition to score 106 points per game. That is thanks in large part to their opponents 3 point percentage. The Bucks struggle to guard the outside, as teams are shooting 36.4 percent from behind the arc against them. Look for the Knicks to expose that on Sunday. With New York playing much better and this one being at home, they should be able to cover the small number against a bad road team. Back New York ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-09-16 | Kansas v. Texas Tech +7.5 | 69-59 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 26 m | Show | |
Texas Tech +7.5 The Texas Tech Red Raiders are in a terrific spot here. They get a late game on national television and the environment will be crazy in Lubbock. Kansas is coming off that triple overtime win over Oklahoma on Monday night. Kansas is a tremendous team, but it's unlikely we'll get the best effort out of them in this game. The Jayhawks had to be worn out both mentally and physically after that amazing game against the Sooners Monday night. Also, Kansas plays at West Virginia next game, and the Mountaineers are widely considered to be better than Texas Tech. Bill Self is a great coach, but Kansas has a bunch of young kids and they will likely have a hard time getting up for this game. This is Texas Tech's game of the year right here, and they are going to play like it. Tubby Smith has done a good job with this team, and I see this one going to the wire. Take Texas Tech. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* CBB ATS Play |

01-09-16 | Fresno State v. Boise State -6 | 70-81 | Win | 100 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Boise State -6 The Boise State Broncos have a high upside. This is a team with a great all around player in Anthony Drmic and two very good supporting players in James Webb and Mikey Thompson. Boise State shoots 55.5% on two point shots, and the Broncos shoot it well from beyond the arc on their home floor. Fresno State was blown out last year in Boise, and I don't see any reason why they would make this one close either. Fresno State has trouble with spacing on offense, and while Marvelle Harris is a good player, he's been trying to do everything too often this year. Boise State has a lot more scoring options than does Fresno State. The Bulldogs foul a lot and Boise State shoots it at 72.3 percent from the free throw line. Boise State is coming off a momentum building win at Utah State (where it is very tough to win), and the Broncos should take care of business. Take Boise State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-09-16 | Missouri State v. Loyola-Chicago -5.5 | 56-54 | Loss | -106 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Loyola Chicago -5.5 The Missouri State Bears have three players out with an injury now. One of them is starter Dorian Williams. Missouri State isn't a deep team at all, and they can ill afford to lose players like this in Missouri Valley Conference play. Loyola Chicago beat Missouri State both times they played last year, and the Ramblers are coming off a rough three game losing streak. This is a great spot for them to bounce back and get a nice win in front of their home crowd. The Ramblers shoot it really well from three, and Missouri State's three point defense is very weak. The Missouri Valley Conference is known for being extremely tough to win on the road. Missouri State would struggle to win on the road anyways, and being short-handed it will be very tough for them until they get healthy. We'll fade Missouri State. Take Loyola Chicago -5.5 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-08-16 | Knicks v. Spurs -14 | 99-100 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
San Antonio ATS The Spurs welcome in the Knicks on Friday night and anytime the Spurs play at home, they have value. This is one of the most talented teams in the NBA and it's tough for any team to get in their way. San Antonio does lay a huge number here, but that shouldn't shy anyone away. The Spurs are a perfect 21-0 SU at home and have a 16-5 ATS record. They are out scoring their opponents 105.7-88.8 through those 21 games. That is quite the absurd ratio. Overall, the Spurs have been dominant ATS. They are the best in the NBA as they bring in a 26-11 ATS record as they continue to cover night after night. Against teams with losing records, the Spurs are 16-3 ATS. Through their last 6 games, the Spurs have won all all 6 by an average of 20.3 points. They've also found the win column in 13 of their last 14. San Antonio went into MSG earlier this season and knocked off the Knicks by 10. Expect an even better performance here tonight as the Spurs will absolutely dismantle this Knicks team. Back the Spurs ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

01-08-16 | Buffalo v. Kent State -6.5 | 76-67 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show | |
Kent State ATS The Golden Flashes welcome in Buffalo for a MAC battle Friday night and Kent holds a lot of value here. This Golden Flashes team has really looked good this season and should be competing for another MAC Championship. When it comes to winning your conference, taking care of business at home is a must. Kent is 6-0 SU at home this season. On the other side of things, Buffalo brings in a record of 0-5 SU. They've struggled to get anything going on both sides of the ball away from home as they are scoring just 63.2 points and allowing 84.4. Kent already has some momentum as they picked up a road win in their MAC opener against Western Michigan. Jimmy Hall and Chris Ortiz had their way as Kent dominated inside. Buffalo on the other hand failed to protect their house as they fell to Akron at home. The last four times these two teams have played, the favorite has gone 4-0 ATS. These have been very lopsided match ups and that can be expected in this one. Look for Kent to dominate inside, like they've been doing all season long to opponents. Back Kent State ATS.

01-07-16 | Lakers v. Kings OVER 212.5 | 115-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Los Angeles vs. Sacramento over The Lakers and Kings are featured on TNT Thursday night and we get two teams that don't play defense and that can score. Starting with the Kings, Sacramento has really flourished in 2016 and they proved that with wins over the Suns and Thunder where they scored well above 100 points. In their lone loss, they fell to the Mavs, but put up 116 points. In one of those wins, the Kings put up 142 points in a win over the Suns. On the season, Sacramento is averaging 105.9 points per game. Their defense has horrendous as well. The Kings are allowing 107.9 points per game. From the Lakers side of things, they have been just as bad defensively. Los Angeles is allowing 108.5 points against per road game. These two teams are also head-to-head over teams. These teams met back on Oct. 30 in a game that finished 132-114. Head to head: Over is 17-6 in the last 23 meetings in Sacramento.Over is 37-16-1 in the last 54 meetings. Both of these teams can score and love to get out fast and jack up quick shots. Expect that type of game here on Thursday with the national spotlight on them. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-06-16 | California v. Oregon OVER 142 | 65-68 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
California vs. Oregon over The Golden Bears and Ducks continue Pac-12 play in Oregon Wednesday night as we get two very fast paced teams here. With the pace and ability to hit the three ball, both teams should be able to score a lot here, giving the over a lot of value. Both teams have proven they can score at will this season. Cal averages 76.8 points per game on the season and Oregon is scoring 80.6 points per home game. Oregon has also allowed 65.2 points against per home game, giving them a 4-2 record on the over. California has had no problem scoring either over their first 2 Pac-12 contests. The Golden Bears have put up 79 and 71 points against Colorado and No. 22 Utah. Cal has shot 48% from the field through the first two conference games. Oregon loves running and gunning and they've used this kind of strategy for many straight seasons. The Ducks will look to either inbound or outlet the ball and get shots up before the 15 second mark on the shot clock. While they still have to make their shots, they get plenty of chances and even second chances. Look for a lot of pace here with this being a Pac-12 shootout. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-06-16 | Massachusetts +13 v. Dayton | 63-93 | Loss | -106 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Massachusetts +13 The UMass Minutemen are a big dog at Dayton on Wednesday night, and I see the value on the underdog here. Dayton is a very good team, but they have shown this year that they will play down to their competition at times. UMass has a three guard lineup that actually matches up well with Dayton. The Flyers generally have a quickness advantage against most opponents, but that is not the case against this UMass team. Dayton has a 3 point win at home against William & Mary, a 1 point home win over Miami (Ohio), and a 2 point home loss against Chattanooga already this year. UMass has played Dayton tough recently. The Minutemen won at home against Dayton last year and only lost by 7 in Dayton two years ago. Dayton is a Top 25 team now, and while they are a good team, they are laying too many here. Take Massachusetts. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

01-06-16 | La Salle v. Fordham -10 | 61-66 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
Fordham Rams ATS The Rams welcome in the Explorers for a Wednesday night matchup and this is a clear cut mismatch that gives the Rams a major advantage here. Laying the big number is worth it and has value here. Looking at the Rams, Fordham has been a solid under the radar team this season. The Rams rank 56th with a field goal percentage of 46.5%. Fordham also shoots 40% from behind the arc. Scoring wise, they're dominating opponents. At home this season, the Rams are scoring 83.2 points per game and allowing 60.9 points against. They are 9-0 SU at home this season and are 2-0 ATS in lined games. The LaSalle Explorers have been an absolute mess this season. They are a mere 4-7 SU and 1-3 SU on the road. This team has been a nightmare for backers. LaSalle has gone 1-7 ATS and 0-2 ATS on the road. Their main problem has been defense. They haven't been able to slow down teams in transition and that comes from their offensive turnovers. Look for Fordham to run and gun here in this one as they should have no problem taking it to the LaSalle defense in a very big win here on Wednesday. Back Fordham ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-05-16 | Akron v. Buffalo OVER 143 | 75-71 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Akron vs. Buffalo over The Zips and Bulls kick off their MAC campaigns on Tuesday with the over having some value here in this low key matchup. Both of these teams have the shooters and inside game to put up points. On the season, Akron is scoring 75.6 points per game and allowing 71.5 against on the road. They'll be going up against a team that scores 83.0 at home and allows 77.8 overall. These two teams struggle on the defensive end, but when it comes to shooting, they aren't shy about firing away. These two teams are also notorious for playing to the over. In the last 7 meetings in Buffalo, the over has hit 5 times. Overall, the over is 9-4 in the last 13 head to head meetings. Other trends to consider here: Over is 11-5-1 in Bulls last 17 home games.Over is 8-3 in Zips last 11 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Look for the pace to really be here in this game. Both Akron and Buffalo like to get up and down the floor and aren't afraid to shoot the 3. Akron is shooting at a near 40% clip from behind the arc and Buffalo is at 31%. With that in mind, the over has value and is worth a play here. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB O/U Play |

01-04-16 | Kings v. Thunder -7.5 | 116-104 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Oklahoma City Thunder ATS The Thunder welcome in the Kings to OKC on Monday night and the Thunder hold tremendous value here. Oklahoma City has dominated the head-to-head battle with Sacramento and have hit their stride as of late. The Thunder have posted 14 wins over their last 16 and have scored 100 points or more in 10 of their last 11 games. Oklahoma City has never posted a victory in Oklahoma City and has fell 14 straight times to the Thunder overall. Kevin Durant is also extremely hot right now. The star F has reached 20 points or more in 20 straight games now. Look for him and his partner in crime, Russell Westbrook, to have big games here. Westbrook posted a triple-double with 19 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over the Kings on Dec. 6. The home/away discrepancy is quite large here too. Sacramento is just 4-11 SU on the road and the Thunder are 16-4 SU at home this season. Look for the Thunder to dominate from the get go here. They have a much better team overall and are even getting help from the bench lately. Expect a giant, lopsided win here. Back Oklahoma City ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

01-04-16 | Dartmouth v. Fairfield -5 | 85-97 | Win | 100 | 4 h 7 m | Show | |
Fairfield -5 The Fairfield Stags have the advantage in this matchup with the Dartmouth Big Green. Fairfield has played a relatively tough schedule thus far. Fairfield has played North Carolina, Northwestern, and a good Yale team already this year. Dartmouth has played Stanford and Seton Hall this year, but outside of that, Dartmouth has played no one. In their last game, Dartmouth lost at home to Bryant. They also lost a couple weeks ago at New Hampshire by a lopsided score of 76-56. What about Fairfield? The Stags had a couple bad losses this year, but those were when their star (Gilbert) was out with an injury. Fairfield is now at full strength and only laying five against an Ivy League team who has done nothing to impress in the non-conference portion of their schedule. This is a cheap number considering the weak schedule Dartmouth has played this year. Lay the points. Take Fairfield. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Fresno State vs. UNLV Over 144.5 The Fresno State Bulldogs have been much better on offense this year, and their tempo has been quicker than it was last year. Still, Fresno State hasn't been able to play defense without fouling. The Bulldogs send their opponents to the line at an alarming clip. UNLV struggles against teams that play a zone defense against them, but the Rebels have been great against man to man defenses. UNLV is a very good transition team, and Fresno State's new faster tempo and man to man strategy should play into the hands of the UNLV offense. This game should feature a lot of plays in transition, as well as a lot of fouls. A posted total of 144.5 isn't all that high with the new shot clock and additional rules (more foul calls primarily) that help scoring this season in college basketball. Take the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB O/U Play |

12-29-15 | Cavs -6 v. Nuggets | 93-87 | Push | 0 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers -6 The Cavs head into Denver on Tuesday night and will look for a split of their 4 game road trip with a win here. They lay a lower than normal number, which gives them a lot of value right here. Cleveland looked like the team of old as they found themselves with their backs against the wall on Monday night in Phoenix and got production from Kyrie Irving down the stretch. Irving looked like he finally found his rhythm as he went for 22 points in 24 minutes, which included a clutch 3. Denver also hasn't played well at home. They are just 5-9 SU and 4-10 ATS this season in those 14 games. The Nuggets will also be without Danilo Gallinari once again as he continue to battle an ankle injury. Without him in the lineup, it leaves a giant gap in the Denver offense as they lack 3 point scoring. Also out for the Nuggets is Emmanuel Mudiay. He will miss his 9th straight game as he continues to battle an ankle injury himself. This is a clear cut mismatch here. Even with the Cavs being on a back-to-back, they get to head home after this game. They are 100% healthy and with Shumpert and Irving along side Love and Lebron James, the Cavaliers are such a threatening team. Denver shouldn't be able to keep up pace wise or strength wise here. Back the Cavaliers ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Los Angeles Clippers ATS The battle of Los Angeles will have purple and gold on the floor inside the Staples Center as the Clippers and Lakers get set for the Christmas Day capper on Friday night. The Clippers at this number are valuable considering how bad the Lakers have been this season. Laying 11.5 points in a road game is tough, but this isn't a road game for the Clips. They'll be at their home, with just a different colored floor. The Lakers are getting demolished by opponents. They were beaten by 40 against Oklahoma City and then once again by 35 just a few days later. The Lakers are just 10-19 ATS this season. The Clippers have completely flipped the script on this rivalry too. The Clippers have won the past 7 meetings head-to-head. It gets better.....they've had victories of 48,36,28,25, and 23 during that span. The Lakers have hit the 100 point plateau just one time during this 7 game losing streak to the Clippers. This is simply just a complete mismatch here. The Clippers are on a level the Lakers aren't even close. Expect this streak to hit 8, with another large margin of victory being added to the list. Back the Clippers ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Cleveland Cavaliers ATS The Cavaliers head into Golden State for the most waited for rematch of the NBA Finals. You'll certainly get a chance to see the games best go at it for 48 minutes with no breaks in this one. With the high number, the Cavaliers hold value here. Cleveland has ran off 6 straight wins themselves and finally have everyone back and healthy. Last time these two teams met, the Cavs were without Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love in the NBA Finals. Love is playing at one of his best levels and Irving is finally healthy and will be playing in his 2nd game back with all the rust shaken off. Cleveland is also beating teams defensively, which is something they will certainly need come Friday afternoon. The Cavs are allowing just 87.2 points against during their winning streak. While the Warriors are who they are, they'll be running into a team that will be right up in their faces offensively and will have revenge on their minds throughout. Don't expect either team to run away with this one by any means. Back and forth action throughout, giving that +7 some serious value. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Pelicans vs. Heat Under 200 The New Orleans Pelicans are definitely a better team than their record would indicate. They have had some chemistry issues, and the Pelicans were easily the worst defense in the NBA for a long period of time. New Orleans still isn't a good defense, but they are playing better on that end of the floor than they were earlier in the season. The Miami Heat have been a great defensive team all year. Miami has committed themselves to winning with defense. The under is 19-7 in the Heat's last 26 games overall. The under is 35-16-1 in the Pelicans last 52 road games. This total is very high for the Heat, and it's also high for the Pelicans based on their improvement on the defensive end of late. Look for this early tip off to stay under the posted total. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

San Antonio ATS The Spurs are flying a bit under the radar as Golen State has grabbed all the attention in the NBA this season. The Spurs welcome in the Pacers to San Antonio and anytime the Spurs are at home, they hold value. San Antonio is a perfect 15-0 SU at home this season. They come in off a game where they trailed for a majority of it against the Clippers, but managed to rally in the 4th quarter and even cover the -7 number. They are now 11-4 ATS at home this season. They're winning games with consistency on both sides of the ball as San Antonio has scored 103.7 points per game, while conceding just 87.5. The Pacers on the other hand have been a bit sluggish in terms of their defensive play away from home. They are just 6-7 SU and are conceding 101.5 points per game. Dating back to March 15th of last season, the Spurs have won 24 straight home games are 18-5-1 ATS in that span. Overall this season, San Antonio is 19-9 ATS. Head to head wise, they've also been dominant. They've taken three straight in this series and 14 of the last 15. San Antonio has the advantage in all aspects here. Expect another lopsided, home win for the Spurs as they cover the number on Monday night. Back San Antonio ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Nebraska ATS The Cornhuskers got a weak off to recoup and gather themselves and now welcome in the Samford Bulldogs to Nebraska on Sunday night. With the rest Nebraska has had, combined with the travel issues the Bulldogs have had, there is value with Nebraska. Samford comes in off a double overtime loss to South Alabama on Friday night. The Bulldogs blew an 8 point lead late in the game, thanks to their 52% free throw percentage. If this loss wasn't demoralizing enough for them, they had to get on a plane at 4:15 am to travel to Nebraska. Frustration and certainly fatigue are plaguing the Bulldogs. Nebraska got a week off after their win over Rhode Island on Dec. 13. The Cornhuskers have been a solid ATS bet this year as they are 5-2 overall. At home, they are 6-1 SU and 3-0 ATS in lined games. They're really getting the job done on both sides of the floor at home as they're averaging 78.0 points per game and conceding just 61.0. This is the perfect spot situationally to back Nebraska here. With Samford playing a double overtime game and having to get on a plane at 4 in the morning, they are certainly jet lagged and ready to head home. Expect a very sluggish performance from them here, with the Cornhuskers blowing them out on their home floor. Back Nebraska ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

Texas vs. Stanford under 134 The Texas Longhorns got Shaka Smart in the offseason, and everyone thought this team would be off to the races this year. Instead, Texas has actually played at a much slower tempo. Smart has commented that he doesn't have the pieces yet to play the same style he did at VCU. Texas' best players are big men, and the Longhorns are trying to pound it inside more this year. Texas is playing much better defense than they have in the past, and opponents aren't getting anything in the paint against this squad. Stanford has changed the way they play also after losing Chaisson Randle last year. Randle was Mr. Everything for this team, and without him they have decided to look to their post players for leadership. Stanford is playing a much slower tempo also. This should be a close game where both teams want to get it inside and use up much of the shot clock. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. 9* Saturday NCAAB O/U Play |

Los Angeles Clippers ATS The Clippers head into San Antonio on Friday night and we get a very generous line with them here. The line is certainly inflated here, which gives us the Clippers at +8 when they've won 9 of their last 11. The Clippers had no problem with the Bucks last time out and with everyone back at full health, this team is extremely dangerous. Chris Paul had another giant night and with him and J.J Redick leading the way, this Clippers team can't be stopped. Redick has been on fire lately, averaging 21.3 points per game over his last 3. While the Spurs have played well, this is a solid matchup for the Clippers. Los Angeles matches up very well with the Spurs starters and have much more depth than them. With the Spurs being 14-0 SU at home, oddsmakers have seriously inflated this line here. On a normal matchup, this would be a +3 or +4 spot. Instead, we get 8 points with a team that has won 3 in a row and beat these Spurs twice in the playoffs on the road last season. The underdog and road team in this head-to-head series is 4-0 ATS over their last 4. Expect this one to be close throughout, with the Clippers having a serious chance to grab this win here. I have released a TOTAL play on this game as well. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Clippers vs. Spurs Under 195 The Los Angeles Clippers and the San Antonio Spurs meet tonight in a nationally televised clash of powers in the Western Conference. The Clippers haven't played up to their potential yet this year. San Antonio is playing tremendous basketball, and if it weren't for the Warriors going crazy, the Spurs would have gotten a lot more publicity. San Antonio is a very different team this year, and that's a good thing. The Spurs are much better on the defensive end than they have been in recent years. Kawhi Leonard is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league. LaMarcus Aldridge has been surprisingly good defensively as well. The Spurs are also playing at a slower tempo than they have in the past. The Spurs are first in the NBA in total defense, and it isn't close. The Clippers offense hasn't been as good this year as it was last season. This number is a few points too high. Expect this one to be close throughout and I have released a side play on this game as well. Take the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

Cleveland Cavs -3 The Oklahoma City Thunder are clearly one of the better teams in the NBA, but they are in a difficult spot here. Oklahoma City is playing in a back to back situation here after hosting Portland last night. Cleveland is coming off arguably their two most impressive wins of the year thus far. The Cavs won 111-76 at Orlando and then 89-77 at Boston. Cleveland's defense was exceptional in both of those games, and that is a great reason to be optimistic about this team in the near future. The Cavs are going to get their points with the talent they have on offense. If they are consistent on the defensive end, they are going to go on a big run. Oklahoma City is only 10-21 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Because the Cavs weren't a good pointspread team earlier this year, we are getting a little extra value on them. Take Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Arizona Wildcats ATS Arizona welcomes in Northern Arizona on Wednesday night and the Wildcats hold tremendous value here against a very weak opponent. This is the perfect spot for the No. 12 Wildcats to get a lopsided win and really gain some momentum going forward. Arizona has struggled to get big wins this year until Sunday. They absolutely dismantled the Missouri Tigers 88-52. Homecourt advantage has been a major role to the Wildcats succeeding here. Arizona is 6-0 SU at home and 3-3 ATS, which is the better portion of their ATS record. Arizona is scoring 81 points per home game and conceding just 60. On the other side of things, NAU has been horrid. They are just 2-6 SU and 0-3 ATS in lined games. All three of those games they've lost ATS have come on the road. On the road, NAU is allowing a ridiculous 85 points per game. -Wildcats are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games following a ATS win. This one will be completely one sided. Expect a very big win for Arizona here as they have no problem doing what they want. Back Arizona ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Portland Trail Blazers ATS The Trail Blazers head into Oklahoma City on Wednesday night which is the perfect look ahead spot here for the Thunder. Oklahoma City will head into Cleveland on Thursday for NBA on TNT to take on the red hot Cavs. This is the perfect spot here to back Portland with the Thunder really focused on their national TV stint tomorrow. Portland is no pushover either. They are a modest 14-12 ATS this season and 8-6 ATS on the road. PG Damien Lillard has been able to keep them in games and should come ready to play here. This month, the star PG is averaging 25.4 points per game and has 23 or more in 6 of them. Along with Lillard, CJ McCollum is also really producing this season. The SG has averaged 19.7 points per game to take some of the pressure off Lillard. His last 5 games have seen him produce, 17, 24,26,22, and 16 points. Portland has also had some solid success against the Thunder. Portland won 3 of the 4 head-to-head meetings last season. Expect the Trail Blazers to be in this one throughout. They should also have their moments to really grab a win here. Oklahoma City has one thing on their mind....Cleveland. Back Portland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

St. Mary's ATS The Gaels welcome in Cal Poly to McKeon Pavilion and we get a solid number with the home team here. St. Mary's has been exceptional in all aspects of the game this season. St. Mary's is 6-1 SU and 6-0 SU at home this season. Overall, they are 5-0 ATS and 4-0 ATS at home. St. Mary's is allowing just 62.0 points at home while scoring 82.4 points themselves. St. Mary's ranks third overall in field goal percentage as they're shooting 53.3%. Their three point percentage is right there too as they are shooting 47.6% from behind the arc. Cal Poly hasn't been that good this year either. They rank 108th in the nation in field goal percentage with just 45% shooting. Cal Poly has struggled on the defensive end. They've allowed 81.0 points against this season. St. Mary's has always proven that McKeon Pavilion is a tough place to play. They've already started this season hot at home and this one should be no different. Emmett Naar is averaging 14.6 points per game along with 6.4 assists. He's been able to lead a fast paced offense that has no problem putting up points. St. Mary's should have no problem handling Cal Poly here on Monday. Expect a very lopsided game with the Gaels having no problem scoring. Back St. Mary's ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Los Angeles Clippers ATS The Clippers head into Detroit on Monday laying a small number, which gives them tremendous value here. Los Angeles has won 7 of 9 overall and have bounced back from a cold streak in a big way. Two of their stars, JJ Redick and Chris Paul are both back to 100% health wise and have this team rolling. The Clips got back to the .500 mark on the road with a 105-100 win over Brooklyn on Saturday. The Clippers got 36 points combined from Redick and Paul and saw their star PG dish out 14 assists. This head-to-head series has been dominated by the Clippers. They've won 9 straight, including a 101-96 win back on Nov. 14. DeAndre Jordan had 10 points and 16 rebounds to lead the charge in the victory. This is simply a head-to-head battle where the Clippers matchup extremely well. The teamwork of Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan offer the ability to stop Pistons F Andre Drummond. Paul and Redick can shut down Morris and Ilyasova. Laying this little number is the move on Monday. Los Angeles has dominated the head-to-head series and match up extremely well with Detroit. Back Los Angeles ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-13-15 | UC-Santa Barbara +11 v. South Dakota State | 68-86 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 2 m | Show | |
UCSB +11 The UCSB Gauchos are a quality team who has played an extremely tough schedule so far this year. In fact, the Gauchos have the 28th toughest schedule in the country so far this season. UCSB is only 2-4, but they are a solid team. South Dakota State is definitely a good mid-major as well. The Jackrabbits are coming off a great win at Minnesota last game. This is a rough spot for them for a couple reasons. Number one, a smaller school coming off a big win like that one is likely to have a letdown. Why else is it a bad spot for South Dakota State? George Marshall is their starting point guard, and he's injured and isn't expected to play here. UCSB has good guards and they should be able to take advantage of his absence. Expect a close game here. Take UCSB +11 Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-12-15 | Celtics v. Hornets -2 | Top | 98-93 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 4 m | Show |
Charlotte ATS The Hornets welcome in the Boston Celtics on Saturday and this is the perfect spot to back Charlotte. The Celtics had a hard fought, double overtime battle against the Warriors at home on Friday. With the Warriors still undefeated, the Celtics literally gave everything they had, but two missed buzzer beater shots ultimately doomed them in the end. With the emotions so high on Friday, not only is going to Charlotte a let down in itself, but this is a perfect spot to see Boston lay an egg here and play with little emotion. Don't over look Charlotte here either. The Hornets have rattled off 4 straight wins and are playing exceptional on the defensive end. During their current winning streak, Charlotte is giving up just 90 points per game. Going into Charlotte has been a tough place to play for the opposition as well. The Hornets are 10-3 SU and scoring 104.5 points per home contest. Expect a lot of fatigue here from Boston, along with an emotional letdown as they really struggle here on Saturday. Back the Hornets. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 10* NBA TOP PLAY |

12-11-15 | Cavs v. Magic OVER 197 | 111-76 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 5 m | Show | |
Cleveland vs. Orlando over. The Cavaliers head down to Florida to kick off their road trip and the over here has some solid value to work with. Both of these teams have the weapons to light up the scoreboard, there is no doubt about that. Cleveland has Lebron James, Kevin Love, and Mo Williams to just name a few. On the Magic side of things, they have Elfrid Payton, Evan Fournier, and Victor Oladipo. These are just a few, but both teams have the depth and 3 point shooting abilities. Both teams are also averaging above 100 points per game. Cleveland comes in scoring 101.6, while the the Magic put up 103.7 at home. The last 6 head-to-head meetings in Orlando have seen 5 of those games fly over the total. Digging into this a little deeper: Over is 11-5 in Cavaliers last 16 overall.Over is 5-2 in Magic last 7 games following a ATS win. Expect back and forth action here, with both teams reaching the 100 plateau in a game that flies over the total. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-10-15 | Hawks v. Thunder OVER 212 | 94-107 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Atlanta vs. Oklahoma City Over The Atlanta Hawks get set for a battle with Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook in Oklahoma City on Thursday night. With two teams that can score and hit the 3, this over holds value. The Thunder are HOT right now. They come in off a performance on Wednesday that saw them shoot 56 percent and hit 13 3 pointers. Oklahoma City is averaging a ridiculous 108.5 points per game, but are also conceding 101.6. Atlanta is right there with them in scoring as they are putting up 102 points per game. This game also features two very fast paced teams. Both teams like to get up and down the floor in transition. Rarely will you see either team use the shot clock. The head-to-head meetings have been this way. In the last 5 games in OKC, the over his hit all 5 times. Look for another game like the previous ones in OKC with a lot of points and a lot of 3's being hit. Back the over. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-10-15 | Troy State v. Seton Hall -16 | 69-78 | Loss | -106 | 14 h 14 m | Show | |
Seton Hall -16 The Seton Hall Pirates are a really inconsistent team. Seton Hall just blasted Rutgers 84-55 on the road in their last game. The Pirates have a star sophomore in Isaiah Whitehead and Khadeen Carrington is a very good sophomore as well. Seton Hall beat a pretty good Ole Miss team by 12 points on a neutral floor earlier this year. They also beat Dartmouth at home by 17 points in their season opener. Seton Hall will take on the Troy Trojans on Thursday. Troy hasn't played a team ranked in the top 100 so far this year. Seton Hall will easily be the best team they have played against. Troy lost at home earlier this year by 16 points at home against UAB. Troy is an undisciplined team that was blown out by most good teams last year. Seton Hall has momentum and a huge advantage in talent. Take Seton Hall. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-10-15 | Louisiana-Monroe v. Kent State -6 | 62-73 | Win | 100 | 13 h 49 m | Show | |
Kent State ATS The Golden Flashes welcome in the Warhawks to the MAC Center on Thursday night and we get a solid line on Kent State here. The Golden Flashes continue to win. They've ran off 2 straight wins and have found some solid depth which has led to major improvements in their inside and outside game. Jimmy Hall and Khaliq Spicer have provided the Golden Flashes with their inside presence. Hall had 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists last time out and has really helped to take some pressure off Spicer. The F didn't do much last game, but against Cleveland State two games ago he put up a career high 22 points and 8 rebounds. Outside, Kellen Thomas showed how much of a threat he is going to be this season. Thomas broke the tie late against NJIT with his 6th three pointer of the night as he finished with 22 points on 8 of 15 shooting. As for the Warhawks, they've been a completely different team on the road. They are 0-2 ATS away from home and have struggled to find any consistency on the defensive end. They're allowing the opposition to score 69.0 points per road game. With Kent being at home and playing well, this is a perfect spot to back the Golden Flashes here. Back Kent State ATS.

Toronto Raptors ATS The Raptors welcome in the Lakers to Toronto and hold tremendous value here on Monday. This is simply a clear mismatch in terms of the teams. Los Angeles is just a mess right now and Toronto has shown they are able to compete with the best in the league. Looking at the ATS records, Los Angeles brings in just a 6-14 record. On the road, they've covered only 4 times out of 13. For Toronto, they are the complete opposite. The Raptors have a 14-7 ATS record and are 5-3 ATS at home in 8 tries. This is also a solid spot situationally for Toronto. The Raptors come in after nearly beating the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. They are in need of a win and they get the Lakers on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. Los Angeles will certainly be tired after their travels and should wear down relatively early in this one. Toronto also went into Los Angeles back on November 20th and won by 11 points. They covered the number in that one and should have no problems here on Monday covering against a depleted Lakers team. Back Toronto ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-07-15 | Wizards v. Heat UNDER 194 | 114-103 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Washington vs. Miami under Washington heads into Miami Monday night and we get a good opportunity to back the under in this given situation. First off, Washington comes into this one on the 2nd leg of a back-to-back. The Wizards had a hard fought, fast paced loss to the Mavericks on Sunday. The Wizards will certainly be worn out by travels and will have tired legs as the game goes on. The Wizards have also been a noticeably different team on the road. They are scoring just 95.2 points per game and have played to the under in 5 out of 8 road games. On the other side of things, Miami has been an immediate under team. Overall, they have hit the under in 15 of 18 games this season. At home, they have hit the under in 10 of 13 games. The Heat are one of the best defensive teams in the league. Opponents are scoring just 92.2 points per game this season against them. Miami's offense hasn't been much better as they score just 96.4 points. PG John Wall is also questionable for Monday. Wall injured his right leg in the loss to Dallas and regardless if he plays or not, he certainly will not be 100%. Expect a very lower scoring game here with both teams in the upper 80s to lower 90s. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA O/U Play |

12-07-15 | Oklahoma v. Villanova -3.5 | 78-55 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 38 m | Show | |
Villanova -3.5 The Villanova Wildcats are winning with some tremendous defense this year. Villanova opponents are shooting less than 35% from the floor this year. Jay Wright's team hasn't had much success in March, so they tend to get overlooked at times, but this is an excellent team. Villanova added a great freshman in guard Jalen Brunson. In Brunson, Ryan Arcidiacano, and Josh Hart the Wildcats have three amazing guards. Oklahoma simply doesn't have enough talent to matchup with them. Buddy Hield is probably the best player on the floor in this game, but Hield's supporting cast should struggle against this Villanova defense. The Oklahoma Sooners were outmuscled at times last year, and Villanova is going to be very physical in this game. This is a fair price to lay with the much better defense and the deeper team. Villanova makes a statement here. Take Villanova. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-06-15 | Kings v. Thunder UNDER 222.5 | 95-98 | Win | 100 | 6 h 23 m | Show | |
Kings vs. Thunder under The Oklahoma City Thunder welcome in the Sacramento Kings to OKC and we get a solid number on this total here. Both teams have trended to the under this season giving a number this high a lot of value on the under. This season, the Thunder are 7-12 to the under and 4-7 to the under at home. Trends wise, this is a solid spot to back the under when it comes to both teams. Under is 10-4 in Thunder last 14 home games.Under is 5-0 in Thunder last 5 games. Under is 7-0 in Kings last 7 vs. a team with a winning SU record. There also isn't too many scoring threats in this one. For Oklahoma City, aside from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, nobody on the Thunder has proven to be a consistent scorer. For the Kings, DeMarcus Cousins is really all this team has. These three can put points up, but simply cannot get to this high of a total by themselves. Under is 9-1 in last 10 meetingsUnder is 4-1 in last 5 meetings in Oklahoma City Look for a game that is lower scoring here with both teams in the 90s, giving the under a solid play here. Back the under. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA O/U Play |

12-04-15 | Cavs -5 v. Pelicans | 108-114 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 19 m | Show | |
Cleveland Cavaliers ATS The Cavs head into New Orleans Friday night and lay a low number in a game they certainly have a clear advantage in. This is the perfect bounce-back situation for Cleveland here. After getting owned by the Wizards on their home floor last time out, they get a very weak and struggling Pelicans team. New Orleans is just 4-15 on the season and are 3-5 at home. New Orleans has dropped 4 straight games and has allowed the most points in the NBA per game at 109.1. As for Cleveland, after a bad loss like the one against Washington, we can expect Lebron James and company to come out and make a statement here. Cleveland has also had major success against the Southwest Division. They are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when playing teams from the Southwest. Cleveland should be able to expose the weak defense of New Orleans here too. New Orleans has allowed 100+ points in 17 of 19 games this year. Things have been so bad, they've even allowed 110+ points on 10 occasions this season. Expect Cleveland to have no problem scoring here and grabbing a very lopsided win here on Saturday. Back Cleveland ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Portland Trailblazers ATS The Trailblazers welcome in the Pacers Thursday night and this is a prime letdown spot for Indiana. The Pacers come in on the 2nd leg of their back-to-back after defeating the Clippers on Wednesday. With fatigue playing a major role for Indiana here in this 2nd leg, they will also be overlooking this Portland team. The Trailblazers are just 7-12, but their record doesn't indicate or reflect what kind of team they are. They have held the lead 6 times in the 4th quarter this season and blown them all. Their most recent was a 7 point lead with just a minute left where they blew it against the Mavericks. This team is young and learning to close games will come. They could just as easily be above .500 this year. Portland also has a solid duo in Damien Lillard and CJ McCollum. Lillard is averaging 24.4 points on the season while McCollum has put up 19.5 This duo has the ability to take over a game any night. To top this off, Indiana has struggled in Portland. The last time they won there was all the way back in 2007. Expect Indiana to overlook this one and really struggle with fatigue against Portland here on Thursday. Back Portland ATS.

12-03-15 | Northern Colorado v. UC Riverside -15.5 | 66-77 | Loss | -106 | 7 h 38 m | Show | |
UC Riverside -15.5 The Northern Colorado Bears rank last out of 351 teams in college basketball in defensive efficiency. Northern Colorado doesn't even pretend to care on the defensive end. Teams like that are very dangerous to back, especially away from home. Northern Colorado lost their best two players from a year ago. The Bears have had a rough time this year. Northern Colorado has not won a game against a Division I opponent this year. In fact, they have lost all but one of their games by at least 15 points. The Bears lost at home to lowly Maryland Baltimore County. Ouch. UC Riverside is a team on the rise in the Big West. Taylor Johns is expected to play again tonight, and he's the star of this team on the inside. Northern Colorado doesn't have anyone who can stop him. UC Riverside works hard on the defensive end, and they should coast to a big win. Take UC Riverside ATS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-02-15 | Notre Dame -2.5 v. Illinois | 84-79 | Win | 100 | 12 h 12 m | Show | |
Notre Dame -2.5 The Illinois Fighting Illini weren't a good team to start with, and now they are going to be worse. Mike Thorne Jr. suffered a torn meniscus and will likely miss the rest of the year. Thorne is averaging 13.4 points and 8.4 boards per game. Illinois didn't have much of an inside game even with Thorne, and now they are really in trouble down low. John Groce's team has played some terrible basketball so far this year. They were really fortunate to beat Chicago State of all teams. Notre Dame isn't the same team they were a year ago, but they are a team with several veterans and a very good coach. The Fighting Irish run their system really well, and this is a team with a lot of confidence. I don't think you can say the same about Illinois, especially after they lost one of their best players last game. Take Notre Dame. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* CBB ATS Play |
