The last time these teams played the Jets smashed the Ducks by a 9-3 count, shortly after that HC Randy Carlyle was fired. Now Im betting the Ducks in revenge mode will be primed to play much better D, and base this game on responsible transitional hockey. This Im betting will result in a tilt that stays on the low side of the total.


Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 meetings in Anaheim.ANAHEIM is 9-1 UNDER after scoring 3 goals or more in 2 straight games this season.

NAHEIM is 26-9 UNDER in home games after a 2 game unbeaten streak over the last 2 seasons.

Play on the UNDER

Winnipeg Jets  are in late-season post season mode, and Im betting wont be upset by the resurgent Anaheim Ducks who have no chance at a play off spot. The last time these teams met Winnipeg made Anaheim  look bad , earning a 9-3 victory. The Jets know the Ducks will want revenge, but Im also betting they will be very ready for them.

WINNIPEG is 21-4 ATS against poor teams - outscored by their opponents by 0.3+ goals/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons. 

ANAHEIM is 0-5 ATS in a home game where the total is 6 or more this season.

NIT - First Round- No. 3 seed Georgetown hosts No. 6 seed Harvard. 

Harvard has had a winning record in nine of the past 10 seasons under coach Tommy Amaker and has a experienced squad, with a never say die attitude and will not be easily defeated here.

Harvard to cover 

Im one of those guys who   believes that the Oklahoma City Thunder have what it takes to hang with the best teams from both the west and the eastern conferences despite of a downturn of late and are worth of us laying points with them here tonight vs the Toronto Raptors.

Note: The Raptors are off a 128 -92 beatdown which is not a good omen for their chances here tonight vs a side trying to recalibrate and are desperate for positive momentum before the reg season winds down. 

Raptors are 1-9 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win.Raptors are 1-11 ATS in their last 12 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game.

TORONTO is 3-13 ATS  in road games versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game this season. TORONTO is 11-21 ATS when the total is 220 to 229.5 this season.The Raptors are 4-27 ATS L/31 with less than two days rest facing an opponent averaging more than 12 offensive rebounds.

NBA Home favorites vs. the money line (OKLAHOMA CITY) - average 3PT shooting team (33-36.5%) against an average 3PT defense (33-36.5%) after 42+ games, good ball handling team (14.5  or less TO's) against an average pressure defensive team (14.5-16.5 TO's are 124-32 L/5 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average point diff of 9.4 ppg.

NIT - First Round

Alabama is a  team that averages nearly 72 points per game , and against this level of opponent Im projecting they will breach that total number in around the 77+ range. Meanwhile the Norfolk State Spartans are one of the top three points teams in the country from a conversion rate perspective,  shooting 39.3 percent from 3-point range over the L/22 games (184-of-468). Another important factor for a over wager here is 551 free throws and 771 attempts are the second most in the D-I era and Im projecting them to score in the mid to upper 60s which translates to a total according to my estimations of a 145.5 or more giving us value with a over wager. 

Play on the OVER 

 Washington defeated the Bulls  134-125  at Chicago last month and Im betting on a repeat performance tonight as they chase a play off birth in desperation mode.  The Wizards cannot afford losses .  Meanwhile, the Bulls are off a win last time out vs the Suns, but that not a great omen for them here as CHICAGO is 1-10 ATS in home games after 1 or more consecutive wins this season. 

CHICAGO is also  2-10 ATS L/12 in home games versus poor defensive teams - allowing 106+ points/game - 2nd half of the season this season and a 4-13 ATS L/17 when playing against a marginal losing team (Win Pct. 40% to 49%) this season.

Play on the Wash Wizards to cover 

The Bulls put up a nice defensive effort vs Phoenix last time out in a 116-111 win and Im betting they will continue to pay attention in transition, and force the run and gun Wizards out of their comfort zone with a more precise pace. This will result in a score that remains on the low side of the total.

The Wizards are 0-11 UNDER L/11 as a favorite with less than two days rest when their opponent is seeking same season revenge for a loss at home with a combined average of 201 ppg scored.

Under is 4-0 in Wizards last 4 vs. Eastern Conference.Under is 11-5-1 in Wizards last 17 vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Under is 5-0 in Wizards last 5 games playing on 1 days rest.

CHICAGO is 13-4 UNDER  in home games revenging a loss where opponent scored 110 or more points this season with a combined average of 214.4 ppg. CHICAGO is 9-1 UNDER in home games after a non-conference game this season with a combined average of 208.4 ppg scored.The Bulls are 4-20-1 UNDER L/25 as a dog with rest off a win in which they had an assist percentage at least 10 worse than their season-to-date average with non of the games eclipsing this total.

Play on the UNDER 

NCAA Tournament - First Four - Univ. of Dayton Arena - Dayton, OH

These teams play a controlled type of game, and if they were boxers they would be considered counter punchers. Im expecting a medium paced game especially in transition which will equate to a total combined score that remains on the low side of the total.
