01-06-24 | St. John's v. Villanova -4.5 | 81-71 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 1 m | Show | |
Nova -4.5 1pm ET on Saturday from Finneran Pavilion in Villanova, PA its St. John's (10-4, 1-1 AWAY, 8-6 ATS) taking on Villanova (10-4, 5-1 HOME, 8-6 ATS). We see two teams who have started to find their groove here as of late. We're taking Villanova as they have started to figure things out more and they have the home crowd energy behind them. Nova has won 4 straight games and some of these have been very impressive. They took down Depaul and Creighton on the road, with wins over tough UCLA and Xavier teams to go along with those. Villanova is doing just about everything right on both ends of the floor. They're locking down defensively and getting key stops when they need them. Coming into play, Villanova is allowing just 63.6 PPG, which is one of the best marks in the entire nation. they have put the clamps down during this recent run as well and they're going to put a ton of pressure on this St. Johns side. The Red Storm have struggled in this head to head series too. Coming into this one, the Wildcats have cashed in 6 straight meetings. St. Johns lacks a spark and they're not going to be able to overcome this Villanova high pressure defense. Trends, St. John's are 0-6 SU in their L6 Saturday games on the road. Nova are 4-1 SU L5, 5-1 SU L6 at home, and 13-7 SU L20 Saturday games. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-05-24 | Grizzlies v. Lakers -4 | 127-113 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
Lakers -4 The Lakers (18-18, 12-5 HOME, 16-20 ATS) our looking to end their 3-game losing streak on Friday night as they take on the Grizzlies (11-23, 8-10, 13-21 ATS) at 10pm ET on Friday at Crypto.com Arena. Watch it on ESPN. The Lakers are favored by 4.5, and the total points O/U is 228.5. Memphis has been a fade this year overall. This team has struggled, even with Morant back in the lineup. They come in off a loss to the Raptors and their only win out of their last 5 games came against a lowly San Antonio team. They’ve struggled to find any sort of offensive rhythm not just as of late, but throughout the entire season. They’ve put up just 106 ppg, which is one of the worst in the NBA and their issues have stemmed from both inside and behind the arc. Memphis is onto shooting as a team 43%, while they’re allowing the opposition to shoot at a near 47% clip. The Lakers have played much better at home and they’re going to overwhelm this Memphis side on Friday. The Lakers have been inconsistent themselves this season, but they still have the playmakers that can step up any night. Lebron has rarely missed time and he’s playing at such a high level right now. The F Is averaging 25-7-7 and he’s been the catalyst to when this team is successful. Davis has averaged 25 points and 12 rebounds himself as these two continue to produce big numbers. If the supporting cast can step up Friday night, the Lakers should be in for a huge night. Grizzlies are 5-3 with Morant back in the lineup. 1-3 L4. Lakers have lost 3 in a row. 3-9 since winning the IST. The last time these two teams played was 11/14/23. A 134-107 LAL win. They covered the -6.5. Before that 4/28/23 LAL 125 - MEM 85. Trends, Memphis are 0-5 ATS in their L5, 1-4 SU L5, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. LAL, and 0-6 ATS L6 playing on the road vs. LAL. Plus, the Grizzlies are 0-5 ATS in their L5 when their opponent allows 100+ in prior game. Lakers are 7-1 SU in their L8 played on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

01-05-24 | Magic +9.5 v. Nuggets | 122-120 | Win | 100 | 3 h 51 m | Show | |
Magic +9.5 Tonight at 9pm ET from the Ball Arena in Denver, CO, it's the (19-15, 7-11 AWAY, 23-11 ATS) Magic taking on the (25-11, 14-3 HOME, 16-19-1 ATS) Nuggets. We’re on the Magic, grabbing the points here. This is a situational spot the Magic will have an edge in. Everyone saw Jokic hit the half court buzzer beater three to beat the Warriors on Thursday night as they shocked Golden State. After a high flying, intense game like that, going back to back with a lesser team is never easy. The Magic are scrappy too. While they’ve dropped the first two games of 2024, they’ve been right there with a good Warriors team and a Kings team they took to overtime. They’re 4 games above .500 as well which has been one of the bigger surprises in the NBA. They’re doing it with their ability to get stops when they need them. They give up 111 ppg and we’ve seen them hold top teams to lower. They’re going to be physical and won’t shy away from this Nuggets team. We’re expecting a fatigued and distracted Nuggets team, that may not be as focused for this one after last nights epic win. Trends, Magic 6-2 ATS L8, 6-0 ATS L6 vs. DEN, and 5-1 ATS L6 on the road. Denver is 2-4 ATS L6. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

01-05-24 | Connecticut v. Butler +6.5 | 88-81 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 16 m | Show | |
Butler +6 Friday night the (12-2, 0-2 AWAY, 8-6 ATS) UConn Huskies take on the (10-4, 8-0 HOME, 7-6 ATS) Butler Bulldogs. Tip off is at 6:30pm ET from the Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. These two played nearly a year ago. 1/22/23. A 86-56 UConn win. But that was a much different Butler team. Butler has value here, catching points at home. The Bulldogs have been a much different team at home versus on the road. They come in after dropping back to back games, but both were on the road. Prior to that, the Bulldogs rattled off 7 straight wins, with a majority of those at home. Butler has been one of the quietest teams in the nation with one of the best offenses. Nobody really talks about them, but they have 10 wins and have put up nearly 83 ppg. Those numbers even increase when playing at home. UConn is going to get a very physical side that loves to attack. They’re going to see Butler come right at them and it can give the Huskies some frustrations from the outset. With the home crowd energy, this has the makings of a trap game for the Huskies. UConn is a public betting favorite here, but Hinkle Fieldhouse is an extremely tough place to play. A couple other stats that have caught my eye. Butler is 27th in the nation at FG Attempted per game, and are 19th in the nation from the charity stripe. They'll come at you all game, and when they get to stripe, they're pretty darn good. Exactly what we want when trying to cover a spread against a really good team. Trends, UConn are 1-5 ATS in their L6 on a Friday when playing on the road. Butler are 7-2 SU in their L9, 8-0 SU L8 at home, and are 4-1 L5 on a Friday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NCAAB ATS Play |

01-04-24 | Oregon +4.5 v. Washington | 76-74 | Win | 100 | 21 h 30 m | Show | |
Oregon +4.5 Thursday night from Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, WA we get the (10-3, 1-0 AWAY, 8-5 ATS) Oregon Ducks taking on the (8-5, 6-1 HOME, 8-5 ATS) UW Huskies. If you've been paying attention you'll notice I'm a Pac 12 honk. It comes from living in the PNW. I know these west coast teams the best, and I'm not afraid to pull the trigger when I see value on a line involving teams I know. Case in point, Thursday. Oregon +4.5. The Ducks have value here as they catch points on the road. Washington has had far too many issues on the defensive end. They’ve been extremely inconsistent when it comes to slowing teams down that push the tempo and they are going to have their hands full in this one. Allowing 76 ppg, the Huskies allowed 95 to Utah last time out. They run into a hot Oregon team that continues to put up wins. The Ducks have a complement of players who can step up and attack and we’ve seen that as of late as they’re getting contributions from many different players. They are also stepping up on the defensive end. As they give up just 70 ppg, the Ducks allowed just 59 to UCLA in their latest win. Oregon has put the clamps down and they’re playing with a ton of pressure. They are one of the best in the conference at closing out on shooters as well, adding to this value. The Ducks are going to push the pace as they know Washington has their fair share of issues with transition defense. Trends, Oregon are 6-2 ATS L8, 6-1 SU L7, 12-3 L15 SU vs. UW, and 5-2 SU L7 on the road vs. UW. UW is randomly 5-11 ATS L16 when playing on a Thursday at home. Grab the points here, with Oregon having a chance to steal this outright. The barking dog has value. You know what to do. Hop ON. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12-23-23 | Lakers v. Thunder -3 | 129-120 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 19 m | Show | |
OKC -3 LA (16-14, 13-17 ATS, 5-11 AWAY) visit OKC (18-8 ATS, 10-4 HOME, 18-7-1 ATS) today at 8:10pm ET. Two teams heading in opposite directions: LAL's struggles continue post-tournament win, losing 4 straight and 5 of 6, while the Thunder surge with 3 consecutive wins and 15 of the last 20 before facing the Lakers in Oklahoma City. Oklahoma City has the value here, laying the number at home against LA. The Lakers have been inconsistent. Coming into play here, they had won 4 of 5, but then went into a skid of losing 5 of their last 6. They have struggled to find any sort of consistency on either end of the floor really. Their inability to slow teams down has become very concerning. They come into this game giving up 114 ppg. However, they have allowed over that number in 5 of the last 6 games, with the lone one being right at that 114 point mark. The Thunder are on the opposite side in their current run. They've won in 5 of the last 6 games and come in off a 134 point performance against the Clippers. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been the catalyst, putting up 30.7 points per game. Overall, this Thunder offense has not backed down from anyone, putting up over 120 ppg. They come in 18-8 ATS this season and they matchup very well with the Lakers. We're backing the better team, at a small number here on Saturday. Trends, LAL 1-5 ATS L6, 1-5 SU L6, 3-7 SU L10 vs. NW DIV teams. On the other side, OKC 4-1 ATS L5, 5-1 SU L6, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 12-3 L15 vs. WEST Teams. I'm all over OKC today! Let's Do This! You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

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

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

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

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

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

12-21-23 | Kent State v. Oregon -6.5 | 70-84 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show | |
Oregon -6.5 Kent State (7-2, 1-0 AWAY, 4-4 ATS) take on Oregon (7-3, 5-0 HOME, 6-4 ATS) The Ducks have been a good bounce back team this season. They’re wrapping up their non conference schedule here against a Kent team that has been hot and cold throughout the beginning of this season. Oregon has been battling injuries but this team still has put up some impressive numbers. They’re going to lean on G Jackson Shelstad here. He put in 16 points in the game against the Orange and right now he is the most dangerous scorer on this Oregon side with the injuries they’re dealing with. Still, they matchup well with Kent State, who has been inconsistent at times. This team likes to play fast, but after losing their top 3 scorers this past offseason, they’re still trying to find their identity. G Reggie Bass transferred in after being named MAC Freshman of the year and he simply has not been able to fit in and was moved to the bench. Kent’s defense has lacked at times as well and this Oregon team can expose their flaws in the paint. The Golden Flashes have struggled rebounding and the Ducks will try and crash the glass here. Kent hasn’t played in well over a week and the rust will show in this one. Trends, UO are 4-1 ATS L5, 13-5 SU L18, 5-0 SU L5 at home, and 7-0 SU L7 vs. MAC Teams. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* CBB ATS Play |

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

12-14-23 | Thunder +2 v. Kings | 123-128 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 10 m | Show | |
OKC +2 The (15-7, 15-6-1 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) OKC Thunder take on the (13-9, 12-10 ATS, 7-3 HOME) Sacramento Kings on Thursday night with a 10pm ET tip from the Golden 1 Center, in Sacramento, CA. Fading the Kings in this spot is a good move given their struggles on the defensive end. In terms of scoring statistics, OKC are one of the best shooting teams in the league, and Oklahoma City holds a slight advantage with an average of 120.4 points per game, ranking 9th in the league, while Sacramento trails behind with 116.3 points per game, ranking 16th. OKC will really get after it on the defensive end too, they're TOP 5 in the NBA in steals and blocks. Plus they don't turn the ball over much (4th). Sacramento is never going to be shy about the pace they play with. However, with that comes a lot of issues at allowing easy baskets the other way. They allowed 119 points in a loss to the Clippers last time out and overall they’re conceding 117 points per game. This doesn’t bode well at all when going against this Thunder team that is playing at a top level offensively. Oklahoma City’s last two performances have seen them put up 138 and 134 points. They also have a 126 point performance this month against the Mavs as well. It’s the playmakers this team has that is really going to make Sacramento struggle. Oklahoma City is one of the best in the NBA, with 120.4 points per game. They play with a ton of pace and have shot the ball as good as anyone. Look for them to overwhelm this Kings side in a game that’s a revenge spot from the in season tournament. Oklahoma City will lean on their youth to push the tempo and have the Kings struggling and on their heels all night long. Trends, OKC are 12-4-1 in their L17, 4-1 SU L5, 5-1-1 ATS L7 on the road, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Western Conference teams, and 4-1 ATS vs. Pacific Div. Teams. For the Kings, they're 3-6 ATS L9 in December, and 1-5 ATS L6 as a DOG. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

12-13-23 | Creighton -13 v. UNLV | 64-79 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 15 m | Show | |
Creighton -13 In Henderson, Nevada, on Wednesday, it's going down between #8 Creighton (8-1, 7-2 ATS) and UNLV (3-4, 2-5 ATS). It's worth noting that this isn't a UNLV home game; it's a neutral court showdown in The Jack Jones Classic. The tipoff for this college basketball matchup is scheduled for 9:00 EST at the Dollar Loan Center, and you can catch it on CBSSN. Now, let's talk numbers. The initial betting odds are as follows: Creighton is sitting at -1250 on the moneyline, while UNLV is the underdog at +740. When it comes to the point spread, Creighton is favored by -13.5 points, and the total over/under is set at 148.5 points. Creighton's recent performance saw them facing off against Central Michigan, where they dominated 109-64. UNLV is coming off a narrow loss to Loyola Marymount, falling short 78-75. Creighton doesn’t necessarily get a lot of publicity, but this is one of the most talented teams in the nation. The Bluejays have won 3 in a row and they’ve done it in dominant fashion. The Jays have averaged 86.8 points per game this year which is one of the best in the nation. Their ability to hit the 3 and control the paint is one of the tops in the country. Jays shoot 40% from beyond the arc and can blow this game open quickly. They’re simply going to overwhelm UNLV here in this spot. UNLV is not the team they’ve been in the past, as they come in off a loss to LMU. They have struggled from the field, while their defense has been far too inconsistent. That doesn’t bode well when they’re taking on one of the best offenses coming into play. Creighton will have a field day with this defense and they’re just going to come at UNLV at so many different angles in this game. I'm banking on UNLV being rusty too. UNLV haven't played for 10+ days due to the shooting on the UNLV campus. Trends, Creighton are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 8-1 SU in their L9, lastly, Creighton are 4-1 SU in their L5 in December. Flip it, and UNLV are 1-4 ATS in their L5. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* CBB ATS Play |

12-13-23 | Grizzlies +7.5 v. Rockets | 104-117 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 50 m | Show | |
Grizzlies +7.5 On Wednesday, Memphis with a 6-16 (9-13 ATS, 5-6 AWAY) record takes on Houston, who stands at 11-9 (13-5-2 ATS, 10-1 HOME), at the Toyota Center in Houston, TX. The game is set to tip off at 8 pm ET. Memphis has value with the points here. This line keep creeping higher and higher as the PUBLIC hammers Houston. For the Moneyline (ML), the Grizzlies are at +220, while the Rockets are favored at -275. When it comes to the spread (ATS), the Rockets are giving up 7.5 points. The initial total Over/Under (O/U) stands at 213.5. These teams clashed earlier on November 23rd, and Houston clinched a convincing 111-91 win. Rewind to their last game last season and you'll remember the Grizz winning 151-114 on 3/24/23. The Grizzlies are currently on a two-game losing streak, falling short as +1 underdogs in their recent 120-113 loss to the Mavericks. On the other hand, the Rockets have won 3 straight. In their most recent game, a 93-82 W vs. the Spurs, covering the -9pt spread. IMO the Rockets are being a bit over valued in this spot. They come in off a good start to the season and winners of 3 straight, but this team still has a lot of question marks. They have been far too inconsistent to trust on the offensive end. Prior to this winning streak, they had a pair of 3 game losing streaks, as they have struggled to find any sort of consistent attack. They’re a younger team and their cold streaks shooting the ball tend to get magnified more. Memphis is a physical team that can cause a lot of issues. They will look to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. They can force tough shots and we’ve seen them force a lot of turnovers. This has the makings of a game where it’s going to be physical and close throughout. That will play into the favor of Memphis, who can lean on the likes of Jaren Jackson Jr., who is playing at a top level right now. Trends, Memphis are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games against Houston, plus, they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. For Houston, they're currently 6-12 SU in their L18 against an opponent in the Southwest, and December hasn't been kind the last couple years to them. 4-9 SU in their L13 games played in December. Two bottom 5 offenses, against two top 10 defenses. I think this one will come down to steals, blocks and 3's. Memphis holds the edge in all. They'll keep this within the number on Wednesday. You know what to do. Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Mavs +4.5 The Lakers (14-9, 12-12 ATS, 4-7 AWAY) and Mavs (14-8, 12-10 ATS, 6-4 HOME) are facing off in Dallas, TX at the American Airlines Center this Tuesday. The game kicks off at 7:30 pm ET and will be televised nationally on TNT. The initial NBA odds for this Lakers vs. Mavericks Moneyline (ML) show the Lakers at -130 and the Mavericks at +110, while the spread (ATS) favors the Lakers by -2 points, with a total Over/Under (O/U) set at 235. The Mavs are leading the series this season with a score of 1-0, and in that game, Luke scored an impressive 30 points. Dallas is currently on a hot streak, having won their last three games. On the other hand, the Lakers secured a 123-109 victory over the Indiana Pacers, claiming the 1st-ever In-Season Tournament championship on Sunday. This win marks their fourth consecutive victory. Taking a look at the injury report, Hood-Schifino and Vincent are confirmed OUT for LA, while the Mavs' injury situation remains uncertain. Kyrie is unavailable for tonight's game, and Grant Williams is expected to return, with Luka being questionable. Additionally, Hardaway Jr. and Jones Jr. are questionable, while Green and Kleber are OUT. Despite the odds, I'm sticking with my Mavs play. Historically, Dallas has dominated in 8 out of its last 10 against LAL, boasting an impressive 8-1-1 ATS record in their last 10 overall vs. LAL. I'm making a move NOW on the Mavs +4.5. I don't know if there will be a letdown for the Lakers coming off of the IST but I'm going to assume LeBron and AD's minutes are dialed back. Sure, Dallas played last night, but they've also been winning (So have the Lakers I know I know), I just think the value is with the Mavs on Tuesday night. Trends, Lakers 1-9 ATS in L10 vs. DAL, 1-6 SU L7 vs. DAL, 1-5 ATS L6 when playing IN Dallas. For Dallas, 4-2 ATS L6, 4-2 SU L6, 9-2 SU L11 in DEC. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

You can catch this game on ESPN. The betting odds have the Blue Devils as the favorites by 15, with the over/under set at 146.5. Duke laying the points here is the move on Tuesday. This is by far the toughest competition Hofstra has faced here in 2023. They have had one of the lighter schedules in the NCAA and they’re not going to be up for this challenge. Duke has been dominant at home against sub par teams and they match-up well in every facet. The Blue Devils returned home and blew Charlotte out of the water and this game should be a similar case. Duke is averaging 81 points per game, while conceding just 65.9 on the season. This team overwhelms the likes of Hofstra with their ability to push the tempo and turn defense into offense.Hofstra doesn’t have the weapons to keep up in this one. Duke is going to dominate with their pressure and force Hofstra into turnovers. This game is just too lopsided and laying the points is the move. Trends, Hofstra are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. ACC teams. On the other side Duke are 16-4 SU in their L20, 19-1 SU in their L20 at home, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 versus CAC teams. You know what to do! Hop ON! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. ET on Monday at FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn. Dallas is the favorite by 1.5 points against the Grizzlies, and the over/under is set at 226 points. These are two completely different teams thus far into the season despite that game. Memphis is just 6-15 on the year as they have had zero consistency. They have put up just 106 PPG, which is one of the worst in the league. They’ve just been far too inconsistent to trust. They don’t have a big time player who can step up and they’re going to be overwhelmed with this Mavs side. Dallas has won back to back games and they’ve looked impressive in doing so. They put up 147 on Utah and 125 against Portland as they can go off at any moment. This team is built with playmakers and they can open shooting lanes for their outside threats. Dallas is going to come at Memphis from a lot of different sides here, giving them a ton of value at this line. Dallas just matches up well with this Grizzlies team. Dallas covered the spread in seven of the last nine meetings and has done so in the past five games at Memphis. The Grizzlies are also banged up on the player front. LaRavia, Smart, Kennard, Adams, Clarke are all out. Plus Morant is still suspended (until DEC 19). Trends, Mavs 7-2 L9 vs. the Grizz, and 5-0 ATS L5 on the road vs. Memphis. 8-2 L10 in DEC too! Grizz 6-14 L20 SU, and 1-9 SU L10 at home. Not an easy task here on Monday night. I'm backing the Mavs. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

12-11-23 | Cavs v. Magic -2 | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 21 h 21 m | Show | |
Magic -2 (13-9, 9-13 ATS, 7-3 AWAY) Cleveland Cavs are in Orlando On Monday to take on the Magic (15-7, 16-6 ATS, 10-1 HOME). 7pm ET tip-off from Amway Center, in Orlando FL. Orlando has the value in this spot. The Magic stand among the elite defensive teams in the league, allowing an average of 109.6 PPG, which ranks sixth as of games played on Friday. Simultaneously, they maintain the 13th-best offensive performance in the NBA, scoring an average of 114.5 PPG. They’re getting production all around right now. Recent Meetings: 12/6/23 121-111 CLE, and 4/6/23 118-94 CLE. Stats: PPG ORL 13th 114.5 | CLE 22nd 111, DEF ORL 6th 109PPG | CLE 7th 110PPG. Both top 10 at FG%, Orlando the better defensive team causing havoc too with more steals and blocks per game. On the glass both teams fairly close. The Magic have come out of the gates firing and they have been the biggest surprise in the NBA so far. They have 15 wins, which included a 9 game winning streak as well. They dropped back to back games but bounced back in a big way after beating Detroit last time out. The Magic have found success with their ability to push tempo on teams. They just fell to the Cavs last week in a game where they just dug themselves too early of a hole. Orlando is going to come out with a purpose here. Combine that with the Cavs still not at 100% health wise and Orlando has plenty of value. They have played extremely well at home this year and catch the Cavs in a good spot on Monday. Trends: Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record, plus, they're 9-3 ATS L12, 10-2 SU L12, 8-0 SU L8 at home, 9-2 SU L11 vs. Eastern conference teams, and 5-1 ATS vs. Central DIV teams. This is a bad spot for the Cavs on Monday. The value lays with the Magic. Give the points. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

12-11-23 | Wizards v. 76ers -11.5 | 101-146 | Win | 100 | 21 h 9 m | Show | |
76ers -11.5 Monday night the (3-18, ATS, AWAY) Washington Wizards take on the Philadelphia 76ers (14-7, ATS, HOME) Tip off is at 7pm ET from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. H2H Phili owns a 3-0 record L3 these two have played. 12/6/23 131-126 @ WASH, 11/6/23 146-128 HOME, and 3/12/23 HOME 112-93. Philadelphia comes into this one against Washington just on a different spectrum than the Wizards. Washington is 3-18 on the year and they have been getting beaten up time and time again here in 2023. The latest was a 27 point loss to the Nets. Prior to that, they allowed 131 points to this Phili side. Washington has given up 125.3 points per game, which is one of the worst in the league. They allow opposing teams to get so many easy looks at the rim and in transition. The 76ers are in the midst of playing some good ball themselves too. They’ve won back to back games and in those two performances they’ve put up 131 and 125 points. The 76ers are going to have their way on the offensive side in this matchup, while forcing Washington into some tough shots on the defensive end. This is just a case of two teams going in total opposite directions. Trends: Wizards are 1-13 SU L14, 5-14 SU L19 vs. Phili, 2-17 SU L19 on the road, and finally they're 2-14 SU L16 when playing on the road vs. Phili. On the other side, Philadelphia are 4-2 ATS L6, 14-6 SU L20, and are 14-2 SU L16 when playing at home vs. Washington. Don't overthink this one. Phili will win by 15+. Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

12-11-23 | Delaware -4.5 v. Robert Morris | 73-69 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
Delaware -4.5 Monday night it's the Delaware Fightin' Blue Hens (5-3, 5-2 ATS) taking on the Robert Morris Colonials (2-7, 4-4 ATS). We’re backing Delaware here on Monday night when they head into Robert Morris. The Public is also pretty heavy on DEL in this one. Looks like 67% to 33%. Robert Morris has been atrocious to start the season and a lot of their issues have come from the offensive end. They are putting up a mere 68.6 points per game as they’ve struggled mightily from the field. Their inability to attack the rim has been the biggest flaw and it’s not opening any sort of shooting lanes for their outside threats. Delaware averages nearly 10 points higher and they’re coming in with a lot of confidence. They took down an impressive Xavier team, on the road last time out. They're shooting the ball at a 47.2% clip, which is also nearly 7% higher than this Robert Morris team. They're holding opponents to a 42% shooting %. Delaware has the advantage in every facet here. They’re going to frustrate this Robert Morris team from the start with their physicality and ability to play with a ton of pressure on the defensive end. I'm not sure RM will have an answer for Jyare Davis. He's 83rd in CBB putting up 18.1 PPG. Colonials are 2-2 in home games and are 2-4 in close games decided by less than 10. Trends, Delaware are 5-2 ATS L7, 9-4 SU L13, 4-1 ATS L5 on the road, and are 7-3 L10 in December. Robert Morris are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and are 1-6 SU L7. Get on board with the Hens tonight! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* CBB ATS Play |

12-10-23 | Michigan State -3.5 v. Nebraska | 70-77 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Michigan State -3.5 The 4-4 (3-5 ATS) Michigan St. Spartans take on the 7-2 (5-4 ATS) Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday at 6:30pm ET at the Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln, NE. MST have won 10 in a row in this series. (7-3 ATS) averaging 80PPG to NEB's 65PPG over these 10. We’re backing the Spartans here, at this number on the road on Sunday. The public is going after Nebraska, who is 7-2 coming into play, but this is a game the Spartans matchup very well. Nebraska has struggled to cover the spread in their past three games as they head into their Big Ten home opener. There’s no beating around the bush with the start Michigan State has had to the season and how it’s been rocky. However, they’ve been playing a tough schedule and this is the kind of game where they can get momentum. Tom Izzo challenged his team to be tougher after their loss to Wisconsin last time out. This Spartans side is going to come out motivated more than ever here on Sunday. Nebraska has regressed after their undefeated start, losing back to back games to Creighton and Minnesota. They have struggled offensively in the losses, putting up just 65 and 60 points. They’re going to get a much more physical Spartans team here on Sunday too, which will result in another struggle from the field. Their most recent encounter took place on February 28 in Lincoln, with Michigan State emerging victorious with a score of 80-67. They not only won the game but also covered the 4.5-point spread, and the total score went over the set line of 138.5 points. Expect more of the same today. Trends, Michigan State are 8-3 ATS in their L11 games against Nebraska, and are 10-0 SU in their L10 games against Nebraska, also Sparty are 5-0 SU in their L5 games when playing on the road against Nebraska. I am confident that Michigan State wins this game. Meet me at the window! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play |

12-09-23 | Gonzaga -3.5 v. Washington | 73-78 | Loss | -107 | 21 h 50 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -3.5 For many years (06-15) these two in-state schools never played each other. I'm glad we've gotten to see this matchup nearly every year since. It's a great rivalry. They've played a few times of late so we have some history to look back on. The last matchup was 12/9/22 a 77-60 Zags win, before that, 12/8/19 a 83-76 Zags win. The 6-1 (0-0 AWAY, 4-3 ATS) take on the UW Huskies 5-3 (3-1 HOME, 4-3 ATS) on Saturday. We're on the Bulldogs here in the last game on the board Saturday night. Gonzaga has been on a tear offensively as of late. They've covered their last two games as they've put up performances of 89 points and then 111. They rank 13th in the entire nation with 87.3 points per game and they're doing it with plenty of different scorers each night. The Bulldogs sit 11th in the country in field goal percentage and they're going to overwhelm this Huskies side. Washington hasn't faced much tougher competition this season and they have struggled with 3 losses. They are one of the worst in the nation on the defensive side of things as they have struggled to slow teams down both in the paint and from behind the arc. Gonzaga should be able to dictate a lot here. They're going to play with a ton of pace and put a lot of pressure on this Washington defense from the start. The Huskies have struggled to close out on shooters, which won't bode well when they're facing a team as dangerous as the Bulldogs in this spot. Trends, Dawgz are 0-5 ATS L5 games following a SU win of 20+, and are 0-6 ATS L6 when playing at home against Gonzaga. On the other side the Zags are 5-0 SU L5, 9-1 ATS L10 vs. UW, 7-0 SU L7 vs. UW, and finally the Zags are 7-1 SU in their L8 on the road. You know what to do. Back the Zags ATS. Hop on!

12-09-23 | Wisconsin v. Arizona -9.5 | 73-98 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Zona -9.5 (7-2, 1-1 AWAY, 4-4-1 ATS) Wisconsin visits (7-0, 5-0 HOME, 7-0 ATS) Arizona today. One of my favorite "west coast" teams going up against a stiff-test today in Wisconsin, but I'm fully expecting Zona's home court to be a madhouse today. Arizona is playing like one of the best teams in the country, if not the best and I'm on board for the ride. Wisconsin won't be able to hang here. Zona is a spread covering machine and I expect that to continue on Saturday. I prefer Zona's Tempo to Wisconsin's slow play. I think the Cats will play their game today, tons of running and excitement trumps boring slow play ball in my mind, especially in games at home. Zona can really get after it on the glass too. I know UW leads the all-time series 5-2, but that was then, this is now. This Zona team has 5 starters averaging double digits on offense, and 7'2" C Krivas is over 9PPG. They're deep. AZ 93ppg, UW 73ppg, PTS allowed AZ 62, UW 63, FG% AZ 7th in nation, UW 307th in nation. HUGE factor there. Arizona has the better defense too, they'll get their blocks, and cause havoc on D with their hustle, which leads to steals and fast break points. Trends, AZ are 7-0-1 ATS in their L8 following an ATS win, are 6-0 ATS in their L6 following a straight up win, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games. They're also 5-0 ATS in their L5 vs. B10 schools. Wisconsin are 4-8 ATS in their L12 on the road. You know what to do! Meet me at the window! Hop On! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* CBB ATS Play |

Sacramento -1.5 11-8 (10-9 ATS) Sacramento takes on 12-9 Phoenix (9-11-1 ATS) Friday night. The Kings have value here, laying the small number on the road. We’re backing the healthier team. The Suns have been battling injuries all season long and now they are missing key pieces coming into this one on Friday. Phoenix will be without Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant, and Grayson Allen. All 3 are just too much to overcome. This Kings team plays with such pace, they’re going to be far too much for the depleted Suns. Sacramento has no problems scoring as they are one of the best in the league when it comes to scoring in bunches. They have so many weapons and their ability to play with speed is going to put too much pressure on the Suns. Booker can only do so much and Sacramento will push the issue from the start. With the injuries, the Suns just don’t have enough in this spot. Sacramento are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games. Some trends, Sacramento are 8-4 ATS in their L12 vs. Suns, and are 5-1 ATS in their L6 games when playing on the road against Phoenix. Plus, they're 8-2 L10 Friday games. Suns are 1-4 ATS L5, and are 0-5 in their L5 games played in DEC. Back the road team on TGIF. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

OKC -2.5 As always waiting a little while on NBA this year, just can't make a lot of tough calls until we know more about each team, and read up on the news of the day. Tonight at 8pm ET from OKC its the Thunder (13-7, 9-12 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) hosting the Warriors (10-11, 14-5-1 ATS, 6-4 HOME). I wanted to lock in OKC at -3, I waited just a tad longer and now I'm really happy at -2.5. Make no doubt about it I'm a MASSIVE SGA fan, and what he's doing on the court of late is jaw-droppingly good. He's bringing the entire organization along with him. It's not easy being a life-long Sonics fan and having to see what OKC is doing, but there's no disputing this team this year, the tides seem to be turning in the western conference and OKC is going to be in the conversation. Stats: OKC 6th in PPG, GSW 12th, PTS Allowed OKC 9th, GSW 19th, FG% OKC 4th, GSW 25th. Steals/Blocks OKC TOP 5, GSW NOT Top 20. Trends: Warriors are 0-4 ATS in their L4 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Also, GSW are 4-8 ATS in their L12, 4-9 SU L13, 1-4 ATS L5 vs. OKC, and 1-5 SU L6 on the road. For OKC, they're 11-3-1 ATS in their L15, 8-3 SU L11, 6-1 ATS L7 at home, and 7-1-1 L9 vs. WEST teams. Paul is (?), Payton II OUT for GSW. OKC is healthy. Last time they met it was 130-123 in OT on 11/18/23 for OKC. You know where I'm going. Give the points on TGIF. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

SIXERS -9 LATE ADD:Â I just can't let this one go. Sixers opened -6.5, now I'm getting them at -9 (so I'm late to the party, but ATL have NO YOUNG! So, I'll bite. In the upcoming matchup, Atlanta (9-11, 5-15 ATS, 5-5 AWAY) is set to face Philadelphia (13-7, 13-7 ATS, 7-3 HOME) at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. These teams clashed once already this season, with Philadelphia prevailing 126-116 in Atlanta. The Hawks are currently on a 2-game losing streak, with their most recent defeat being a close 114-113 loss to the Nets. On the other hand, Philadelphia put an end to their 2-game skid by defeating the Wizards 131-126 Wednesday. It's worth noting that Young will be sidelined, making this an injury-driven choice. Considering Atlanta has covered in just one of their last 10 games and holds a 0-4 ATS record in their last 4 road games, the Sixers seem like the logical pick here. The Hawks also rank 26th in the NBA in defensive rating, which could pose a challenge against Embiid and company. PUBLIC heavy on Sixers in this one, because, well they're the SIXERS. The Sixers have Maxey, and that's all I need here to have a happy cover. Trends: Atlanta are 0-5 ATS in their L5, are 1-4 SU in their L5, are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Phili, and 1-4 ATS L5 on the road. Flip it, and the Sixers are 13-7 ATS in their L20, and are 13-6 SU L19, plus they're 7-1 SU vs. Southeast DIV teams. Go on and give away the points, meet me at the window! Hop on!

EMU +5 7pm ET on Friday from the George Gervin GameAbove Center in Ypsilanti, MI we get the 5-5 (8-2 ATS) Oakland Golden Grizzlies taking on the 5-3 (4-2-1 ATS) Eastern Michigan Eagles. We’re on the Eagles here, grabbing the points at home. This is a pretty even matchup overall and we get the Eagles in a spot where they play well inside this building. Eastern Michigan is a perfect 3-0 at home this season with wins over Georgia Southern and Cleveland State in that mix. The Eagles have won 4 of their last 5 and have all the momentum right now coming into play. They are allowing just 73 points per game as they’ve been dominating on the defensive end. They’re turning games into a grind and forcing the opposition into an uncomfortable pace. Oakland has dropped back to back games and they’re struggling to find consistency. This will be the kind of game that is slow developing, which favors EMU. The slower the pace, the more of advantage we get with the Eagles. They’re going to put a lot of pressure on in this one and force Oakland into some uncomfortable situations. Trends, Oakland are 1-6 ATS in their L7 vs. EMU, and they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 games vs. MAC Teams. They're also 1-6 L7 Friday games. On the other side, EMU 4-1-1 ATS in their L6, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. They're also 6-1 ATS in their L7 against Horizon conference teams. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

North Dakota State -2 In college basketball action, we've got North Dakota State (5-4, 3-4 ATS) facing off against Portland (5-4, 4-3 ATS) this Thursday at 8:00 PM ET. The showdown takes place at the Scheels Center in Fargo, ND. The Bison hold a slim 2-point favor over the Pilots, with the total points expected to reach 149.5. For those who prefer Moneyline bets, the odds stand at North Dakota State -137 and Portland +115. We're playing North Dakota State here on Thursday night. The Bison are going to pick apart this Portland defense here. Portland comes in allowing 78 points per game, which ranks in the bottom tier of the entire NCAA. The Pilots are giving up nearly a 40% rate to the opposition behind the arc as well, something NDSU is going to feed off of. The Bison come into play in this one, shooting at 38% from behind the arc, which is 44th in the nation. That ultimately will be the difference here. Portland struggles on the defensive end and will allow plenty of open looks. The Bison can create shooting lanes, while also attacking the paint. Portland simply doesn't have the speed to keep up. We're backing the better team, who is going to pick apart Portland on the defensive end. Trends, Portland are 2-4 SU in their L6, and are 0-5 SU in their L5 on the road, lastly, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 in December. On the other side, North Dakota State are 7-0 SU in their L7 at home.

Arizona State -2 In college basketball action Wednesday night, Arizona State (5-2, 3-4 ATS) is set to host SMU (6-3, 3-5 ATS). The game will tip off at 10:00pm ET on Wednesday at Desert Financial Arena in Tempe, AZ, and you can catch it on FOX Sports Network. If you're looking to bet, the moneyline odds are currently at SMU +120 and ASU -135, with the Sun Devils holding a 2.5-point advantage. The total points over/under is set at 140.5. We’re backing the Sun Devils here, laying the small number. SMU has to travel to the west coast for a late night game against a very physical ASU side. While SMU does come in with 6 wins, their record is a bit deceiving. They’ve beat up on the weaker teams on their schedule, while losing to the likes of Dayton, Wisconsin, and Texas A&M. Arizona State fits right into those teams and should be able to dictate a lot here. SMU isn’t going to overpower anyone. They’re only putting up 74 points per game and they are going to struggle to hit that number. Arizona State is averaging just 65 points against per game, which is a result from them playing a ton of high pressured defense and forcing turnovers. They’ve rattled off 3 straight wins and the confidence right now is at a high for ASU. They can use their physicality to win the battle in the paint and not allow anything easy on the offensive end for SMU. This is just too low of a number in this spot. Trends, SMU is 0-6 SU in their L6 on the road. ASU is 5-1 SU in their L6, and 5-0 SU L5 at home. Plus they're 9-3 L12 in December. (Dating back a couple years of course) Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Vanderbilt +2.5 Tonight it's the Dons (5-3, 5-2 ATS) taking on the Commodores (4-4, 3-5 ATS) from the Memorial Gym in Nashville, TN. Tip-off is at 8pm ET. Watch this on ESPN+. ML Odds have SF at -135, and Vandy is +114 to open. The O/U is 138. Following three consecutive victories, San Francisco's streak of good luck came to an end on Sunday as they suffered a 72-61 loss to the Sun Devils. Meanwhile, Vanderbilt put an end to their three-game losing streak on Saturday by convincingly defeating the Alabama A&M Bulldogs with a final score of 78-59. We’re on Vandy here, grabbing the points on Wednesday night. It’s rare to see an SEC school getting points from a West Coast Conference team, at home. This is a valuable line on the Commodores, who will come out with a lot of fire in this one. Vandy has had a difficult schedule to start. They had to participate in the Vegas Showdown and then return home immediately to face a tough Boston College side. Despite that, they do come in with momentum here after taking down an Alabama A&M team in dominant fashion. If anything, the win got them confidence heading into play here. Vandy is going to speed this game up on San Francisco. The Commodores can run in transition and really force San Fran on their heels. The Dons love to play a slow game and they’ve struggled at times with teams who play quick here in 2023. Vanderbilt can run on them and should find some easy transition buckets. Some trends, Vanderbilt are 13-7 SU in their L20, are 4-1 SU in their L5 at home, are 6-1 ATS in their L7 against an opponent in the WCC. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

Magic +4.5 From the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, OH, the Cavs (11-9, 5-6 HOME, 7-11-2 ATS) host the Magic (14-6, 5-4 AWAY, 15-5 ATS) at 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday. Cavs come into this one as -4.5pt favorites, while the O/U was set at 222.5. If you're a ML bettor you'll get Moneyline: Cleveland -185, Orlando +154. (Sprinkle a little on the ML if you're feeling up to it) We were on the Magic-men last week in G2 vs. the Wizards and that didn't end well, but I know this game will have much more meaning to them. They won't take this Cavs team lightly. The Wizards game was a letdown game if there ever was one, and I like the chemistry this Magic team has this year. I'm not expecting a letdown in this one. Magic average 114PPG to Cavs 110PPG, and both teams are TOP 10 in D here. Magic get more steals and blocks and they're a beast on the offensive glass, plus the depth they'll come at you with is top notch. Wagner, Banchero, Suggs, Bitadze, Black, are playing with some serious chemistry. Some trends I've found have me feeling even better about this play. Orlando are 8-2 ATS in their L10, are 9-1 SU in their L10, are 11-5 ATS in their L16 on the road, and finally, they're 8-1 L9 against an East teams. Last one, Magic are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. a team with a winning straight up record. On the other side, Cavaliers are 1-6 ATS in their L7 games playing on 3 or more days rest, and are 1-5 ATS in their L6 after allowing 100+ pts in prior matchup. I'm backing the Magic +4.5. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

The game is scheduled for 7:30pm ET and will be broadcast on TNT. The Bucks are currently favored by 6 points in this matchup, with the moneyline showing Milwaukee at -246 and New York at +202. The over/under for the game is set at 223 points. These two last met on 11/3/23 a 110-105 MIL win. Before that they played on 1/9/23 a Bucks 111-107 win. The Bucks are 8-2 L10, but we only need a +5.5pt cover here, not an outright win. We’re playing the Knicks here, with the points in the quarterfinals of the in season tournament. These NBA teams do seem to care about the in season tournament, but you have to believe the Bucks still have their eyes set on far bigger aspirations. The Knicks are proving to be a contender themselves and the motivation here will be a bit higher for them as this is the kind of thing that can give them momentum and confidence. New York has been stellar on the defensive end so far, which has led to some early season success. They are giving up just 105.5 PPG, as they’ve been able to rattle off 3 straight wins and 4 of their last 5. They’re doing it with a ton of pressure and suffocating opposing shooters. New York has the defense to slow down this Bucks attack. Ultimately, they’ll turn this game into a grind and force Milwaukee out of their comfort zone pace wise. Look for New York to frustrate the Bucks all night here in a game they can steal outright. My X-factor in this matchup is the Knicks defense. They're #1 in the association on that side of the ball and can really make it hard for opposing teams to run the offense they want to run. They can get in the lanes and cause havoc. They're also #13 in steals. Some trends to think about, NY are 6-4 SU L10, NY are 4-1 SU in their L5, are 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road, and they're 7-0 SU in their L7 games against an opponent in the East. Milwaukee are 2-4 ATS in their L6 in Dec. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

12-04-23 | Iowa +12.5 v. Purdue | 68-87 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Iowa +12.5 Iowa (5-2) takes on the Purdue Boilermakers (7-1, 0-1 B10) in a conference matchup this Monday night. The game will kick off at 7 p.m. ET at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, and you can catch it on the B10 Network. The updated opening Moneyline odds are Iowa +660 and Purdue -1050, while Purdue is favored by -13.5 (-105) against the spread (ATS), with the Over/Under (O/U) set at 163.5 points. In their last meeting, Purdue secured an 87-73 victory, with Purdue favored by 7.5 points. In their most recent game, Iowa scored its second 100-point game of the season, narrowly missing the -26.5 point spread as they won 103-79 against the North Florida Ospreys. The #1 ranked Boilermakers opened their conference play against Northwestern, where they were unexpectedly upset in overtime, losing 92-88 as a -5.5 favorite. I wish I had locked this in at +13.5, but here we sit. I'm still good with 12.5. This would have been a 9* if 13.5 though! We’re on Iowa here, grabbing the points. This is a spot for Purdue where they are going to come out flat. Purdue fell to Northwestern last time out and there will be some lingering effects from that. This is also not a good matchup for them coming in. Iowa is being undervalued in this spot as they are an overwhelming team at times for opponents. The Hawkeyes are 5-2 this year and they are lighting up the scoreboard right now. This team averages over 90 points a game, which is one of the best marks in the NCAA. The Hawkeyes shoot it as good as anyone from the field and they play with a ton of pace. They can match Purdue's scorers and a quick start from Iowa can result in some doubt in Purdue’s minds. This is a game where Iowa is going to keep things close, with a chance to steal it out right even if they can continue to frustrate Purdue with their speed. Trends: Iowa are 5-2 SU in their L7. For Purdue, they are 1-6 ATS in their L7 against Big 10 schools, and are 0-9 ATS in their L9 December games. You know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-02-23 | Rockets v. Lakers -4.5 | 97-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Lakers -4.5 Tonight in LA the Houston Rockets (8-8, 10-4-2 ATS, 0-7 AWAY) take on the LA Lakers (11-9, 8-12 ATS, 7-2 HOME). Tip off is at 10:30pm ET, from the Crypto Arena. Here are the latest odds: Moneyline (ML): Rockets +170, Lakers -210. Against the spread (ATS): Lakers -5.5 (-105), and the initial Over/Under (O/U) total is 222.5. Looking at their season series, it's tied 1-1. The Lakers had a tough loss, falling 133-110 to the Thunder on Thursday, not managing to cover as 4.5-point road underdogs. Houston comes in losers of their last 2. (Sure the Mavs/Nuggets are pretty good teams) but they gave the Lakers coaching staff some pretty good blue print for what it takes to make the Rockets look less than stellar. Houston can defend the 3, but they have problems defending the glass. The LA team is back home after a 4-game road trip where they won 2 and lost 2. Their main focus in December is to find consistency. Tonight's game depends a lot on how well Davis performs. He needs to step up on offense and also make sure to contain Alperen Sengun effectively. HELLO!!!! Anthony Davis. Dude is going to have a game tonight. He has too, especially if the Lakers supporting cast keep missing games. (Hachimura, Hayes, Reddish, Vanderbilt, and Vincent). LeBron has been in great form and is favored to score over 24.5 points against the Rockets. I think he goes for 35+! Stats: Lakers come in averaging 113PPG, HOU 110PPG, LAL 49% FG%, HOU 47%, 3PT HOU 35%, LAL 33%, FT LAL 76%, HOU 75%, REB. LAL 44RPG, HOU 43. H2H L10 games Lakers 7-3 SU, 3-7 ATS. On the road Houston's defensive rating is 26th in the NBA. Trends: Rockets 2-5 SU L7, 3-13 SU L16 vs. Lakers, 0-7 L7 on the road, 0-7 L7 vs. Los Angeles, on the other side, LAL 8-4 SU L12, LAL 4-2 L6 Saturday games. Saturday night in LA?! Sign me up.

12-02-23 | Wolves v. Hornets +5.5 | 123-117 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Hornets +5.5 Minnesota (14-4, 5-3 AWAY, 10-8 ATS) clashes with Charlotte (6-11, 3-6 HOME, 7-10 ATS) tonight at the Spectrum Center, in Charlotte, NC with tip-off at 5pm ET. Examining the initial NBA odds reveals the Moneyline (ML): Timberwolves -250 | Hornets +195, (ATS): Timberwolves -5.5 (-115), and the Over/Under (O/U): 220.5. This marks the first face-off of the season between these two teams, with Charlotte claiming W's in both matchups in 2022/23. 121-113 covering +7, and 110-108, covering +6.5. In their most recent games, Minnesota secured its third consecutive win, 101-90 against Utah Thursday. Charlotte pulled off a stunning 129-128 victory over the Nets, covering as a 9.5-point underdog. As is customary in NBA matchups, monitoring injury reports is crucial. Currently, Gobert is questionable (recently added to the pre-game injury report), while Edwards is doubtful. Meanwhile, McDaniels is out, and McLaughlin is also sidelined. On Charlotte's side, Ball, Martin, and Ntilikina are unavailable, while Miller and Richards' status remains uncertain. If Gobert sits I really LOVE this play. With him in the lineup I just "like it a lot!" LOL. Gobert has played 18 games so far this season and he's putting up 12PPG, 11RPG, and 2.3 Blocks per game. Not easy stats to replace. (in fact they won't) For Charlotte Terry Rozier is on fire of late. 7x 3's at Brooklyn, and he's 70 points in the L3 after being out for a couple weeks. Charlotte have won 3 of 5 and are playing some good ball right now. They average 113PPG, to MINN's 112PPG, of course Minni is the #1 defensive team in the league so it won't be easy. (GOBERT) Where they can make their mark is on the offensive glass, they're #8 in the NBA. They also don't turn the ball over much, certainly not as much as MINN does #17 to #25. Trends: MINN are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and are 0-6-1 ATS in their L7 games against Charlotte. Plus they're 1-6 SU in their L7 games vs. Charlotte. Charlotte are 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Fingers crossed Rudy sits tonight. Play Charlotte ATS tonight. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

12-01-23 | St. Mary's v. Boise State +3.5 | 60-63 | Win | 100 | 8 h 55 m | Show | |
Boise State +3.5 I've got a last-minute addition for you. After some number-crunching and waiting for team updates, let's talk about Saint Mary’s (3-4, 2-4 ATS) going up against Boise State (3-3, 1-5 ATS) this Friday at 10:30 PM ET. A neutral court game at the Mountain America Center in Idaho Falls, ID. You can catch the game on Fox Sports. Saint Mary’s is the favorite by 3.5 points, and the initial game total (O/U) is set at 130. These two haven't met since 12/6/14 a BSU 82-71 win over SMC. For those of you who like to bet on college basketball, this matchup will be one worth staying up for. We’re backing Boise here, with the points. The Broncos take on a Gaels team that has already dropped 4 games this season. This side has taken a step back to start the season as they’ve struggled on both ends of the floor. The latest was a 78-71 loss to Utah in a game where they just seemed to have no rhythm. The Gaels have only scored 71 points per game, which isn’t going to win many games against the competition they’ve dealt with. Boise is a physical team and they are giving up just 68 points a game. This is the kind of matchup that favors them given the defensive side. It’ll be a slow tempo and one where they don’t allow any sort of rhythm for this Gaels offense. Trends, Gaels are 1-4 ATS in their L5 neutral site games, plus they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 games, and they're 1-4 SU too. The Broncos are 15-2 SU in their L17 vs. WCC teams, and they're 18-2 SU in their L20 in December. Back the Broncos tonight in Idaho. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

12-01-23 | Wizards v. Magic -11 | 125-130 | Loss | -107 | 4 h 31 m | Show | |
Magic -11 After last night's 0-2 showing in the NBA, two bad beats I might say, I'm looking at this game tonight, and hoping it's not one of those "Crazy Association Games." The Washington Wizards (3-15, 8-10 ATS, 2-9 AWAY) taking on the Orlando Magic (13-5, 15-3 ATS, 8-1 HOME) tonight. Tip-off is at 7pm ET from the AMWAY Center in Orlando, FL. Magic are -11pt favorites, the O/U is set at 238. ML bettors can get -525 on ORL, and +420 on WASH. (But why?) Magic own a 3-0 record L3 (also 3-0 ATS) vs. the Wizards. Averaging 125PPG to WASH's 113PPG in those 3. When one team keeps doing something over and over again it tells me I should bet on it. Case in point. Tonight I'm on the Magic -11. They're after a consecutive wins team record tonight. They last won 9 straight in 2010/11. Two days ago Orlando whooped the Wizards 139-120, so we have some recent matchup data to work off of, and work off it we will. Wizards have LOST 10/11. Sure Fultz and Carter Jr. are still OUT tonight, but look at the guys stepping up and playing productive minutes. Suggs, & Anthony combined with what Wagner and Banchero is doing is almost unfair. I'm 80% sure Banchero (Ankle) plays tonight, but I'm of the opinion they don't need him to get this cover tonight. Stats. Magic scoring 118PPG at home, Wiz allowing 122PPG on the road. (OUCH). Magic better on the boards, plus they grab 2-3 more steals per game than WAS. The Magic are the 3rd best defensive team in the NBA. Trends. Wizards 3-15 SU this year, allowing 125+ points in 6 of the L8 games. Where's the defense here? They're 1-10 in their L11. 5-10 ATS L15 vs. Magic, and 2-15 SU on the road L17. Magic 15-3 ATS L16 games. They just keep covering. #1 in the Association come to think of it. They're also 8-0 SU L8. 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 7-0 ATS L7 vs. Eastern Conference teams. Rollins is OUT tonight for the Wizards. No backdoor cover tonight! I'm on Orlando all the way! YOU know what to do. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-30-23 | UL - Lafayette +3.5 v. Samford | 65-88 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
ULL +3.5 Tonight at the Pete Hanna Center in Homewood, Alabama, Samford (5-2, 1-5 ATS, 5-0 HOME) is on a hot streak with five consecutive wins, and they're ready to face the Ragin’ Cajuns (5-2, 2-3 ATS, 0-1 AWAY), who are also in good form with three straight victories. The game is set for an 8:00 PM ET tip-off on ESPN+. In terms of odds, the Bulldogs are the favorites, with a 4-point advantage over the Ragin’ Cajuns, and the over/under is set at 153. These two last met up on 12/10/22. A 75-58 ULL victory! For those looking to bet straight up, the moneyline odds are Samford -181 and Louisiana +152. Both clubs come into this one averaging 83PPG, but ULL is the better defensive club only allowing 70PPG to Samford's 74PPG. From the charity strip SAM is 75%, while ULL is 72%. ULL is the 3rd best 3-pt shooting team in the nation at 40%. SAM is 35%. SAM has the rebounding edge. We’re on Lafayette here, grabbing the points for a few reasons. They’ve won 3 in a row and 2 of those wins were impressive as they took down Buffalo and Long Beach State. They put up 92 in the win over Long Beach as this offense has been clicking here to start the season. They’ve done it with a combination of controlling the paint and getting their shooters open. They average nearly 83PPG and they’re giving up just 70 in the process. UL has been good at turning defense into offense as well. They force turnovers and will get out and run in transition. Sanford has struggled with fast paced teams and the advantage here sits with Lafayette. Tempo will be everything and Sanford will be on their heels. Trends, ULL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 11-3 SU in their L14 in November. Lastly, the Cajuns are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. On the flip side, Samford are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games, and are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games, plus they're 4-12 SU in their L16 vs. Sun Belt teams. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Texas Tech +2.5 On Thursday, it's Texas Tech (5-1, 2-4 ATS) taking on Butler (5-2, 6-1 ATS) at Hinkle Fieldhouse. The action kicks off at 6:30 PM ET, and you can catch it on Fox Sports 1. Now, here's the scoop: the Bulldogs are just a slight 1.5-point favorite in this matchup, and the over/under is set at 137.5. Last week, the Red Raiders defeated Michigan 73-57 in the Battle for Atlantis, ending the event with a 2-1 record. The Bulldogs (5-2) had a similar performance in Orlando at the ESPN Events Invitational. They won two games in a row against Penn State and Boise State after a close loss to #19 FAU. We're backing the Red Raiders here, as they have value in this spot. Butler isn't overwhelming opponents like they used to do in the past. The Bulldogs are a lower tier team in terms of total offense, ranking 78th in total points per game. They have struggled from behind the arc as well, ranking 165th in the entire nation, shooting at. 33.5% clip. Texas Tech is a much deeper team and one that has started 5-1 this year. They are one of the best in the entire nation on the defensive side, allowing just 69PPG. They swarm to the ball and throw out many different looks to frustrate the opposing defense. This is the kind of game where they can overwhelm the Bulldogs on the defensive end and force them into a lot of turnovers and tough shots. Trends time, TT are 5-1 SU L6, and 6-1 SU L7 in November. Butler are 2-5 SU L7 in November. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Clippers -1.5 v. Kings | 131-117 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Clippers -1.5 As always with NBA we're waiting for something, anything with regards to injuries at this point of the day. NO news is good news I guess?! Big Association matchup in the Western Conference between the Clippers (7-9, 6-10 ATS, 2-6 AWAY) and the Kings (10-6, 9-7 ATS, 5-1 HOME). It's happening at 10pm ET at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, CA, and you can catch it on NBATV. The opening odds show the Moneyline (ML) with the Clippers at -125 and the Kings at +105. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 231.5 points. The last time they met was a 128-127 SAC win on 3/3/23. Last season, the Kings dominated the Clippers, winning 3 out of 4 games. This season's first face-off between them is tonight. In their last 10 matchups, the Kings hold a 6-4 advantage and are 6-4 ATS. The Clippers are struggling, with two losses in their last three games, including a disappointing 113-104 loss to the Nuggets as 11.5-point favorites. The one thing the Clips can hang their hat on this year though is their defense. In big games they get it. They're #6 in the league allowing 108PPG. (SAC is 21st at 115PPG) The Kings are coming off a thrilling win against the Warriors (Malik Monk FTW), but now they face a back-to-back challenge against the Clippers. Less than 24 hours rest and now you get a rested LAC team? Advantage to the road team. This Clippers side knew things would be interesting when James Harden walked through the door. Harden has averaged 14-6-2 since joining the Clippers and they’re starting to learn to play as a unit with him in the lineup. Those numbers will only go up and they should have a field day with this tired Kings side. Los Angeles has the playmakers to run and that’s exactly what they’re going to do here. Golden State turned the tempo up many notches last night and if the Clippers do that, the Kings simply cannot sustain that in back to back nights. This Clippers have far too many weapons for a fatigued Kings side to deal with. It won't be easy, but they're riding a two-game winning streak I guess. Tough loss not having Keegan Murray in the lineup tonight. I think he'll still sit based off of what I'm reading. He'll be missed by SAC. Trends, Clippers are a GOD-y 17-2 SU in their L19 vs. SAC when playing on the road. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Duke v. Arkansas +6 | 75-80 | Win | 100 | 12 h 55 m | Show | |
Arkansas +6 An ACC/SEC challenge matchup tonight when The Duke Blue Devils (5-1, 3-3 ATS) visit the Arkansas Razorbacks (4-3, 1-6 ATS, 3-1 HOME) tonight at 9:15ET from Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville, AR tonight. Tonight's game is nationally televised on ESPN. The Moneyline odds stand at Duke -210 and Arkansas +172, with the Over/Under (O/U) total set at 149.5 points. In their recent game, Duke found themselves trailing by 10 points against Southern Indiana before bouncing back in the second half to grab a 80-62 victory. Prior to that, Duke convincingly defeated La Salle with a score of 95-66. Arkansas, with a 4-3 record, recently dropped out of the Top 25 rankings following back-to-back losses to Memphis (84-79) and #14 North Carolina (87-72) during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas. This game presents a road test for Duke, marking their first-ever appearance at Arkansas. While these two teams have crossed paths four times before, this is their first regular-season meeting. Three of their previous encounters occurred in the NCAA Tournament, with one in the Preseason NIT. The initial meeting took place in the 1990 Final Four, where Duke emerged victorious with a 97-83 win. In November of the same year, they clashed in the NIT, resulting in a 98-88 win for Arkansas. Their most recent matchup was in March 2022 during the Elite Eight, where Duke grabbed a W. I anticipate Arkansas will put up a strong fight against Duke tonight. They possess the necessary skills both inside and outside the paint and on the glass. This team has experience in handling high-pressure situations, and I believe they will stay competitive in this game, keeping the score within reach. I'm on Arkansas to get the job done. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Colorado +2.5 v. Colorado State | 83-88 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Colorado +2.5 Tonight, we've got an exciting State Rivalry matchup on our hands. It's the Colorado Buffaloes (5-1, 3-3 ATS, 0-0 AWAY) facing off against the Colorado State Rams (6-0, 5-1 ATS, 3-0 HOME) at Moby Arena in Fort Collins, Colorado. The game is set to tip off at 9 p.m. ET, and you can catch all the action on CBS Sports Network. When we look at the opening odds, the Moneyline offers Colorado at +134 and Colorado State at -162. The Over/Under (O/U) for this game is set at 148.5 points. The Rams have been on fire, ranking as the #21 team in the country, and they've started the season strong with impressive victories over BC and Creighton, even covering the spread in their last 5 games. On the other hand, the Buffaloes are coming off a notable 85-68 victory against Iona in their last outing. While Colorado started the season 3-0 ATS, they've struggled in their recent 3 games, going 0-3 ATS. It's worth noting that the Rams have lost their last three matchups against CU. Colorado won the last matchup 93-65 on 8/12/22 in Boulder. Before that on 13/12/2019 CU won 56-48 in Ft. Collins. The pressure is on Colorado State here on Wednesday. The Rams enter play here ranked in the Top 25 for the first time since March of 2022. They play around their 6 foot center, Isaiah Stevens, which isn’t a bad thing here in this matchup for the Buffs. Colorado’s defense is swarming. They pride themselves on controlling the paint and they matchup well with teams that like to play inside. Coming into play here, they’re allowing just 67.2 points against, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Aside from the loss to Florida State, this offense is extremely dangerous too. They’re putting up nearly 88 points a game with their speed and ability to shoot the 3. Colorado is going to put relentless pressure on here and really look to fry and force the Rams into some tough shots and turnovers. Trends, CU are 5-1 SU L6, 14-6 ATS L20 vs. CST, and 6-3 SU L9 vs. CST. CU are also 8-1 L9 vs. MWC teams. CST are 1-5 SU in their L6 vs. Pac 12 teams. My pick for this clash of rivals is backing the Buffaloes as they take on the home favorite Rams, who are currently favored by -2.5 points. While it's the Buffs' first road game of the season, I believe they have what it takes to keep it close and maybe even pull off an outright win. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-29-23 | Suns -2.5 v. Raptors | 105-112 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 35 m | Show | |
Suns -2.5 Late Add. Plays the SUNS -2.5. The Suns (11-6) are hitting the road to take on the Raptors (8-10) this Wednesday, with the game scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ET at Scotiabank Arena. These two teams split their series 1-1 last season, and this is their first face-off this year. Now, when it comes to the Raptors this season, it's been a bit of a mixed bag. They've had their ups and downs, and recently, they've dropped two consecutive games, including a 115-103 loss to the Nets on Tuesday. On the other hand, Phoenix is riding high on a 7-game winning streak, with their most recent victory being a 116-113 win against New York last Sunday, where they were considered +6.5 underdogs. For those looking at the Moneyline (ML), the Suns are at -135, while the Raptors sit at +110 for those who prefer straight-up bets. The initial odds Against the Spread (ATS) favor the Suns at -1.5 (-115). As for the Over/Under (O/U) total, it's set at 222.5, but I'm steering clear of that one. What's crystal clear here is that Phoenix is the stronger team, and KD will PLAY tonight, which makes the Suns even scarier, so, things could take a bad turn for the Raptors quickly. Adding to that, the Raptors faced some travel troubles in NYC, getting back to Toronto as late as 4 a.m., while the Suns are well-rested. The choice seems pretty evident. Some trends: Phoenix is 6-0 SU L6 on the road, and are 4-2 ATS in their L6 vs TOR. Plus, Phoenix is 4-0 ATS in its L4, and they're 5-2 ATS in their L7. Also, Phoenix are 6-1 SU in their L7 against Atlantic Division teams. On the other side, Toronto are 1-6 SU in their L7 as a DOG. Injury updates, Durant is IN, Beal is OUT. TOR looks healthy, except for tired no doubt. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-29-23 | Cleveland State +3 v. Youngstown State | 69-94 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 53 m | Show | |
Cleveland State +3 Wednesday the Cleveland State Vikings (4-2, 3-2-1 ATS, 0-2 AWAY) take on the Youngstown State Penguins (3-3, 2-2 ATS, 3-0 HOME) at the Beeghly Center, in Youngstown, OH. Watch this one on ESPN+. Tip off is at 6:30pm ET. H2H L10 matchups between these two teams has CST up 8-2 SU and 7-3 ATS. They've averaged 76PPG to YST's 73PPG. Last time they played each other was 2/12/23 a CLEVST 81 - 78 win. We’re on the Vikings here, grabbing the points against Youngstown State on Wednesday. These Horizon League foes battle here and the Vikings have been the far more consistent team out of the gates. The Penguins have 3 wins, but 2 of those came against non division 1 opponents. The other was against a Utah Tech team, who is new to the division 1 side over the last couple seasons. Youngstown State has had their share of issues on the defensive end. They’re giving up 73 points per game and they simply do not have much of an offensive spark to keep pace with that. This Vikings team is not only deep, but they have plenty of weapons that can attack. Where this game will be won is on the defensive end though for CSU. They pride themselves with putting up a ton of pressure and they’ve been able to hold opponents to under 66 points per game. They force turnovers and are one of the best at turning defense into offense. Youngstown State will struggle all night here on the offensive end. ON offense CST avg. 78.9PPG, YST 74PPG. Some trends, CST are 4-1-1 L6 following a SU win, plus, CST are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 9-3 ATS in their L12 taking on the Penguins. Cleveland State are also 5-1 SU in their L6 vs. YST. Lastly, CST are 7-2 SU in their L9 against an opponent in the Horizon conference. On the other side YST are 3-6 ATS L9, and 1-4 ATS L5 vs. Horizon Conference teams. Hop on! Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Rockets +5.5 This is an NBA In-Season Tourney game, and if Houston can win it they'd have a spot booked in the tourney's knockout round. Tuesday night the Houston Rockets (8-6, 10-3-1 ATS, 0-5 AWAY) take on the Dallas Mavericks (10-6, 8-8 ATS, 4-2 HOME) in the battle of Texas (NBA Edition). This one tips off at 8:30pm ET from the AA Center in Dallas, TX. Mavs are a -5.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 233.5. Mavs averaging 119PPG, Rockets 109PPG, both have 47% FG%, Mavs 37% from 3, Rockets 36%, Rockets average 44 RPG, Mavs 42. Last time these two met was 1/2/23 a 111-106 Mavs win, the Rockets covered the +7 in that one. Houston hasn't beaten Dallas since a 101-92 win on 11/16/22... In their last game FRIDAY the Rockets took down the Nuggets 105-86. Mavs lost to the Clippers 107-88 on Saturday night. A game we played against the Mavs on the spread. When something keeps happening you have to keep betting on it...right? The Rockets just keep covering games. Mavs won't have the bodies to keep up with what Houston can throw at them. Balanced scoring wins games! Houston has that in droves. Sengun, VanVleet, Green, Brooks, Smith Jr. It doesn't end and I'm backing the road team on Tuesday. Doncic will play on Tuesday (he's been cleared), Lively however, is still OUT, as is Kleber. Thompson, Oladipo are out for Houston. Mavs are 7-3 in the L10, but Rockets are 6-4 ATS L10 vs. Dallas. More trends, Houston 6-0 ATS L6, 8-3 SU L11, 5-0 ATS L5 vs. Western Conference teams. Dallas 2-4 SU L6, 2-4 ATS L6, 2-8 ATS L10 games at home, and are 2-9 ATS L11 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Rockets 8-0-1 L9 following an ATS win, and 6-0-1 ATS L7 following a SU win. Mavs have lost 3 of last 4, and I'm going to take Houston +5.5 until they prove me wrong. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-28-23 | Bucks -2.5 v. Heat | 131-124 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
Bucks -2.5 The Bucks (12-5, 6-11 ATS) are on the road to face the Heat (10-7, 8-9 ATS) at the Kaseya Center for an NBA in-season tournament matchup. The game is set to tip-off at 7:30pm ET in Miami, FL and will be broadcasted on TNT. Bucks are -154 on the ML, Heat +130, the O/U is set at 225. These two teams have already faced off once this season, with the Bucks emerging victorious in their first meeting on October 30th in Milwaukee, winning 122-114 and covering the 7.5-point spread. In their most recent games, the Heat concluded a challenging 5-game road trip against the Nets, resulting in a 112-97 loss. Meanwhile, the Bucks secured a 108-102 victory over the Trail Blazers in Milwaukee. Historically, Miami holds the advantage in their head-to-head matchups, winning 75 out of the 127 meetings between the two teams. However, in the previous season, the clubs evenly split their four-game regular-season series, each claiming two wins. Looking at key statistical categories, Miami ranks 17th in offensive performance (112.1 points per game) and eighth in defense (110.0 points allowed per game). On the other hand, Milwaukee ranks fourth in offense (118.5 points per game) but is 22nd in defense (116.0 points allowed per game). Injuries we're watching for tonight include: For the Bucks, Middleton (?), For MIA, Robinson (PROB), Adebayo (PROB), Butler (?), and Highsmith (?) Trends I'm excited about, the Bucks are 5-2 ATS in their L7, are 7-1 SU in their L8, plus they're 4-1 ATS in their L5 on the road. On the other side Miami are 1-6 ATS in their L7 at home. I just can't trust Miami right now. This is a revenge game of epic proportions and one team will be way more motivated to win it than the other. That means a LOT to me. Bucks cruise to their 3rd straight W. Hop on, Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-28-23 | Notre Dame v. South Carolina -7.5 | 53-65 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Gamecocks -7.5 (3-2, 2-3 ATS) Notre Dame are taking on (5-0, 4-1 ATS) South Carolina tonight. Tip off is at 7pm ET from Colonial Life Arena, in Columbia SC, you can watch it on SECN. SC is a 7.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 133. We're on South Carolina here, as they are taking on the Fighting Irish on Tuesday night. ND come in off of a 75-55 win over MD Eastern. As for SC they come in off of a 75-68 win over Grand Canyon. The Gamecocks are the better team in all facets really coming into play on Tuesday. They are off to a perfect 5-0 start to their campaign and they have a Desert Diamond Tourney win to build off of. This is their best start in years and they're doing it with solid production at both ends of the floor. They're led by BJ Mack and Meech Johnson, but also have got a lot of contributions from the Vandy transfer Myles Stute. Notre Dame is in store for a long season as they have struggled against the better teams on their schedule. They simply don't have the production to keep up here. They lack any sort of spark on the offensive end and this will be the most physical team they have seen thus far. The Gamecocks can impose their will in the paint and cause a lot of issues for the Fighting Irish. I also feel like the GC are the more experienced team here, and coming off of a nice rest period will have charged batteries and all hands on deck to take down the Irish. Trends I've dug up, the Irish are 5-15 SU in their L20, and 0-10 in their L10 on the road. Gamecocks are 7-1 ATS L8, 5-0 L5, and 5-1 ATS L6 vs. ACC teams. SC 3-0 on the ML this season. ND is 1-1 as dogs this season. I'm backing SC on Tuesday night. Hop on. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-27-23 | UC-Santa Barbara v. Fresno State | 69-65 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 54 m | Show | |
Fresno State PK UCSB (6th in the Big West, 2-2, 1-2 ATS) take on Fresno State (9th in MWC, 3-2, 1-3 ATS) tonight in college hoops betting action. You can catch this one at the Save Mart Center, in Fresno CA, at 9pm ET on MWC Network. We’re backing the Bulldogs here as they look to bounce back in a big way. There are a lot of eyes starting to come down on this Fresno State side. They’re off a 31 point loss to James Madison and have struggled out of the gate. Coming into this season, there were some big hopes for a team that returned starters and hit the transfer portal for some big time players.This is a spot for them where they’re being undervalued. After the sluggish start, the line has gone too low. The Bulldogs still have a lot of talent and they matchup well with this UCSB team.This UCSB side has two wins, one against an FCS opponent and another against Le Moyne, who is new to the division 1 side of things. Otherwise, they’ve struggled even worse and in terms of getting out of the gates quick. Fresno State is going to push the tempo in this one. They’re at their best when they can get out and run, which should put UCSB in an uncomfortable spot early. Fresno State is in a spot where they must win to put some relaxation around the program. Look for them to come out firing here. FST come into this one much better on D at 76PPG to SB's 80PPG, plus they can really get after you on D with 8 steals per game. Dating back to last season the UCSB are 1-5-1 ATS in their L7 NOVEMBER games, and FST are 4-2 ATS in their L6 at home, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 vs. Big West teams. Last one FST is 2-0 on the ML so far this season. I'm on the Bulldogs tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-27-23 | Lakers v. 76ers -4.5 | 94-138 | Win | 100 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
76ers -4.5 Late Add. National TV game on Monday night, the Lakers (10-7) and the 76ers (11-5) are set to face off at the Wells Fargo Center, with the game scheduled for 7 p.m. ET on NBA TV. These two teams haven't clashed yet this season, but in the 2022/23 season, they met twice. Last year in Philly, the Sixers were favored by 5 points against the Lakers and ended up defeating them by 11 points. I'm anticipating a similar outcome this time around. The Lakers are coming into this game with some momentum, having secured a 121-115 road victory against the Cavs on Saturday. They have won four of their last five, although James's availability for tonight's game is still uncertain as of 5 p.m. ET. The Sixers, on the other hand, put an end to a two-game losing streak with a 127-123 road win against the OKC Saturday. Embiid was the standout player with 35 points, 11 rebounds, 9 assists, and 4 blocks. He scored most of his points at the charity stripe (19/21) and Phili snapped OKC's 6 game win streak. Many believe he's the best big man in the NBA right now, and he's nearly unstoppable down low. Just ask Chet Holmgren after Saturday. Maxey is almost unstoppable as well right now for Nick Nurse as he's averaging 26.4PPG. For those looking to bet, the Moneyline stands at Lakers +185 and 76ers -225. The opening spread favors the 76ers at -5.5 (-115), with the Over/Under set at 231.5. Keep an eye on the injury updates for Monday night, with Davis expected to play, Hachimura out, LeBron questionable, and Oubre Jr. unavailable for the Sixers. Lakers 3-7 ATS in L10 vs. Phili, and o-6 SU in their L6 in Phili (0-5 ATS too). Sixers are 11-5 ATS L16, and 11-4 SU L15 games. Plus they're 5-1 ATS L6 vs. Western Conference teams. Phili is a tough, tough team to defend, and with a rest day Sunday, and a rest day Tuesday they'll be all hands on deck tonight. I'm giving the 4.5. The City Of Philadelphia is getting quite the confidence boost of late with their teams! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-27-23 | Manhattan +12 v. Fordham | 61-93 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 22 m | Show | |
Manhattan +12 It's the 2023 edition of the Battle Of the Bronx. This one goes back to 1911/12. Manhattan won that famous matchup 20-19. A real barn-burner hey? Tonight at 7pm ET from the Rose Hill Gym in NY, NY. Watch it on ESPN+. These two are 3-3 vs. each other dating back 10 years. Manhattan had a tough time in their previous match, losing 90-60 to UConn, but that was kind of expected. Meanwhile, the Rams didn't quite make it against the Golden Flashes, losing 79-72 on Monday. When this game comes down to the wire and the charity stripe becomes a factor I trust the Jaspers more. They're shooting 74%, to Fordham's 60%. Manhattan 2-1 L3, Fordham 1-2 L3. Trends, Manhattan 14-6 L20 ATS, and 4-1 ATS L5 vs. Fordham. Jaspers are 5-0-1 ATS in their L6 following a straight up loss of more than 20, are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Jaspers are also 8-1 ATS L9 on the road, and 13-7 SU L20 vs. Fordham. These two last played on 11/12/21 a 66-60 Manhattan win. I'm going with the dogs on Monday. Grab the points and smile all the way to the bank. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-26-23 | Harvard +7 v. Indiana | 76-89 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 6 m | Show | |
Harvard +7 Sunday 5-1 (4-1 ATS) Harvard Crimson take on the 4-1 (0-4-1 ATS) Indiana Hoosiers from Gainbridge Fieldhouse, in Indianapolis, IN. This one tips off at 4:30pm ET. Harvard (5-1) has clinched three wins on the road, including a recent 76-70 victory against Colgate. This Sunday caps off their four-game road streak, with previous wins at Rice and UMass. Indiana hasn't played since their 74-66 W over Louisville in the Empire Classic at MSG on Nov. 20. They did take a loss, 77-57, against UConn in the same event. Their only previous encounter with Harvard was in December 1973 when Indiana won 97-76 in Bloomington, Ind. Hardly relevant, but I figured I'd tell you! LOL... We're on Harvard here, grabbing the points against Indiana. The Crimson come in 5-1 overall and 3-1 in road situations thus far. This team hasn't been phased as they look to be one of the favorites in the Ivy League. They have leaned on their physicality on the defensive end to be the difference thus. Coming into play on Sunday, the Crimson rank 13th in the entire nation in field goal percentage against. They are holding the opposition to just 36.7% from the field right now. That bodes well as they get a cold Indiana team that shoots just 23.4% from behind the arc. This will be a grind it out kind of game from the start, which favors Harvard. Look for this one to be close throughout, with Harvard having their chances to steal it. Trends, Harvard are 4-1 ATS in their L5, plus they're 5-1 SU in their L6, and are 5-0 ATS in their L5 games against a Big 10 opponent. On the other side, Indiana are 0-5-1 ATS in their L6. Back the Crimson on Sunday in CBB betting action. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-25-23 | Mavs v. Clippers +2.5 | 88-107 | Win | 100 | 9 h 28 m | Show | |
Clippers +2.5 In this matchup, we've got the Mavs sitting at 10-5 (8-7 ATS, 6-3 AWAY) going head-to-head against the 6-8 (5-9 ATS, 4-2 HOME) Clippers. They're set to clash on Saturday night at 10:30pm ET at Crypto.com Arena in LA. The Mavs know how to put up points, ranking at #3 with 121PPG, while the Clippers bring the heat on defense, sitting at #8 with just 109PPG allowed. This showdown in LA promises to be a Saturday night classic. The Clippers had a winning streak snapped with a 116-106 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, and they're out of the in-season tournament. On the other hand, the Mavs managed to hold off the Lakers with a 104-101 win, but they'll miss rookie center Dereck Lively II due to a lower back contusion. Lively's absence is a significant blow to the Mavs' game plan. Looking at the trends, the Clips are 3-3 ATS at home, and the Mavs are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games against the Clippers. Dallas hasn't had much luck on Saturdays, going 0-7 SU in their last 7 Saturday games. The Clippers bounce back strong after double-digit home losses, going 4-1 ATS in such scenarios. In their head-to-head matchups, Dallas has won 3 of the last 5 SU. However, for tonight, my pick is the Clippers at home, with the advantage of grabbing 2.5 points. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-24-23 | Spurs +10.5 v. Warriors | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Spurs +10.5 In the upcoming In-Season Tournament clash, San Antonio (3-12, 5-10 ATS) takes on Golden State (7-9, 6-10 ATS) at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN) at the Chase Center. It's the Spurs' first face-off with GSW this season, and it's worth noting that last season, GSW took all 4 H2H matchups. Currently, the Spurs find themselves in a tough spot, having suffered 10 consecutive losses, including a recent 109-102 defeat to the Clippers Wednesday. Coach Pop is certainly working hard to guide this youthful squad. Meanwhile, the Warriors are also facing a rough patch, with seven losses in their last eight games, including a 123-115 defeat against the Suns on Wednesday. Notably, Draymond Green is still suspended and will miss this showdown against the talented young French sensation. San Antonio is worth the move in this one as they catch a lot of points against Golden State. This line is a little inflated given the Spurs losing streak, but this is the kind of game they’re going to get up for. Motivation will not be any higher as they want this run to end and also upsetting the Warriors would give them a huge boost. We’re grabbing the points as they should keep this close throughout. Golden State has been subpar at best too. Battling injuries and suspensions at times, they are just 7-9 and have dropped 7 of their last 8. It’s been an ugly stretch where they have been a mess defensively. San Antonio can put a little pressure on them early in this one and utilize their youth to play with speed. They can match the tempo the Warriors like to try to use, resulting in some easy transition buckets. Given the current circumstances, I can't find any good reason to pick the Warriors to cover the spread in this matchup. My inclination is to bet against them in this situation. Our bet is on Wembanyama making a strong appearance tonight, as he faces off against Klay and Steph. Some trends, GSW are 1-6 ATS in their L7, are 1-7 SU in their L8, are 1-7 ATS in their L8 games at home, and lastly, they're 1-6 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the Western Conference. Let's get on board with the Spurs tonight to play a game like they played against the Suns a couple weeks ago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-24-23 | Alabama v. Ohio State +8 | 81-92 | Win | 100 | 19 h 2 m | Show | |
Ohio State +8 In Destin, Florida, Ohio State (3-1, 1-3 ATS) goes against #15 Alabama (4-0, 4-0 ATS) Friday at Raider Arena. The game tips off at 7pm ET and will be broadcasted on CBS Sports. Let's break down the odds: Alabama holds a -330 Moneyline, while Ohio State comes in at +260. In terms of the spread, Alabama is favored by 7.5 points with a -118 line. The Over/Under for the game is set at 151.5 points. Ohio State recently secured a 73-56 victory over the Western Michigan Broncos but didn't cover the hefty 21.5-point spread. Meanwhile, Alabama dominated Mercer with a 98-67 win in their last outing. Ohio State and Alabama battled in the Emerald Coast Classic and we're on the Buckeyes here, with the points. Ohio State comes in 3-1 with the lone loss being to Texas A&M in a game that was close for a majority of it. Ohio State was able to turn the game into a grind, which is what they're going to do here in this matchup. Alabama loves to play fast and the Buckeyes can slow things down. Ohio State runs a half court offense that is going to turn this game into a slow pace. The Bucks have seen all 4 of their games in the 60s-70s so far and that is where they're going to want to be here. They'll keep this game close with their defense. They rank 61st in the NCAA, allowing just 63 points against. This will be the kind of game where they keep things close and have a chance to steal it outright in the end. I have faith on Friday that OST will get it done here. Trends, Alabama are 2-4 SU in their L6 played on a Friday when playing on the road. On the other side, Ohio State are 5-2 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-23-23 | NC State v. Vanderbilt +8.5 | 84-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Vanderbilt +8.5 Happy Thanksgiving! Today at 10pm ET from the Michelob Ultra Arena at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV we get NC State (3-0, 2-1 ATS) taking on Vanderbilt (3-1, 1-3 ATS). These two schools, NC State and Vandy, have a bit of a history together. They faced off last December in Chicago, and the Wolfpack came out on top with a 70-66 win. Most of their recent matchups, five out of the last six, have taken place on a neutral court. The winner of Thursday's game will get a shot at the Vegas Showdown championship, where they'll face off against the victor of the BYU/ASU game. Meanwhile, the two teams that don't come out on top will battle it out for 3rd. Vanderbilt, with a 3-1 record, has been on a winning streak since they stumbled in their season opener against Presbyterian. They managed to secure victories against USC Upstate, UNC Greensboro, and Central Arkansas, with a total winning margin of 15 points. Vanderbilt is riding high after making it to the NIT Quarterfinals in the past two years. On the other side, NC State (3-0) has kicked off the season with three consecutive wins. This should be a good matchup, but we're going with the DOGS in this one. (Fingers crossed any of the 3 injured guys are back - no word yet, Lawrence, Lubin, Dort) Vandy are 15-4 SU in their L19, and we'll gladly grab the points here on Thursday in LV. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-23-23 | Michigan State v. Arizona -5 | 68-74 | Win | 100 | 1 h 23 m | Show | |
Arizona -5 Happy Thanksgiving! Late add here. Crunched some numbers. On Thursday in Palm Springs, California, two ranked college basketball teams will face off: Arizona (5-0) and Michigan State (3-2). The game is set to start at 4 p.m. Eastern Time and will be televised on FOX. Arizona is favored with a moneyline of -225, while Michigan State stands at +180. In terms of the point spread, Arizona is giving up 5.5 points with odds of -105. The over/under for total points scored in the game is set at 146.5. Arizona, ranked #3 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll, has been on a hot streak, scoring 97 or more points in 4 of their 5 games and maintaining a perfect 5-0 record against the spread (ATS). Notably, they secured a significant victory against Duke approximately 10 days ago at Cameron Indoor Stadium, where they both faced Duke as a common opponent. On the other hand, Michigan State suffered a loss to Duke on Nov. 14, falling 74-65. UA is #5 in the nation on the glass, and NONE of MSU's starters had more than 5 boards vs. Alcorn St. last game. This could be the difference we're looking for here. UA averages 50RPG, and MSU struggles on the glass. UA has punch up and down the lineup, with 6 players averaging 11PPG. They're loaded with inside and outside shooters. This will be a test for MSU. Trends, MSU are 2-4 L6 ATS. On the other side, UA are 5-0 ATS in their L5, 5-0 SU L5, and 5-1 ATS in their L6 vs. Big 10 teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-22-23 | 76ers v. Wolves -5.5 | 99-112 | Win | 100 | 18 h 39 m | Show | |
Minnesota -5.5 (I locked this in early, but you can now get MINN -4.5) On Wednesday, it's a showdown as the 76ers (10-4) take on the Timberwolves (10-3) at Target Center, start time is 8pm ET. This marks their first matchup in 2023, following two games last season where they each grabbed a victory on the road. Let's break down the numbers: The Moneyline (ML) odds are +165 for the 76ers and -200 for the Timberwolves. The Timberwolves are favored by -4.5 points against the spread (ATS), and the Over/Under (O/U) is set at 220.5. In their recent games, the 76ers narrowly lost to the Cavs, 122-119 in overtime, failing to cover the 7.5-point home favorite spread. On the other hand, the Wolves beat the Knicks 117-110, covering the 2.5. One noteworthy fact is that the Timberwolves are unbeaten at home this season with a 6-0 record, making them a strong parlay consideration, with the Over. It has hit in 4 of the last 5 between these two dating back to April 2021. We're playing the Timberwolves on Wednesday night as they host the 76ers. Philadelphia may not be at 100% in this game. They fell in overtime to the Cavaliers on Tuesday night in a game where they built a frantic 15 point comeback only to fall short by 3. It's unknown if they will sit anyone and also even if they don't, we should see fatigue play a factor on their end. This Minnesota side is going to speed up play on them. Minnesota is the top tier of the NBA in pace and they have dominated on the defensive end with their relentless pressure. Minnesota rank 2nd in total defense, allowing 106.3 points per game. Combine that with them sitting first in field goal percentage against (43.3%). With them not having played last night, they can turn the pressure up on Philadelphia and put them into some uncomfortable situations early on in this game. The 76ers have had issues on 2nd legs of back to backs and this is not the team you want to see on the 2nd half of one. The Wolves are 9-1 SU L10, 7-0 ATS L7 at home, and 6-2 SU L8 vs. Eastern conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-22-23 | Bulls v. Thunder -6.5 | 102-116 | Win | 100 | 9 h 26 m | Show | |
Thunder -6.5 On Wednesday, it's Chicago (5-10, 1-4 AWAY, 5-9-1 ATS) facing off against OKC (10-4, 4-3 HOME, 11-3 ATS) at Paycom Center, with the game set to start at 8 p.m. ET. In this season's matchups H2H, the Thunder are up 1-0. (They won 124-104) on 10/25/23. The current NBA odds are as follows: Moneyline (ML): Bulls +225 | Thunder -275, and Against the spread (ATS): Bulls +6.5 (-105) | Thunder -6.5 (-115), with the Over/Under (O/U) set at 224.5 points. Recently, the Bulls have struggled, scoring less than 102 points per game in their last four outings. Meanwhile, the Thunder had an impressive 134-91 win over Portland, covering the 6.5-point spread, and the game went over 223.5 points. OKC is on a five-game winning streak, but will be without Jalen Williams for this one (again). Cason Wallace starts in his place. On the flip side, Chicago took a tough 118-100 loss to Miami, failing to cover the 1.5-point spread as home underdogs. They are now 3-7 in their last ten games and have dropped 4 of their last 5. Oklahoma City has been a popular backing for us this season as we’ve taken them a few times to the window. We've also picked the Bulls once and bet against them once in those losses, so I feel like I know these two teams intimately. OKC have been a top team in NBA, a covering machine. They’ve had their success on the offensive side, which is going to be too much for the Bulls to handle. OKC comes winning 5 in a row and they swept a west coast road trip in the process. They put up performances of 128, 130, and 134 as they are clicking on all cylinders. This will be a game where they should dictate a lot on the tempo side of things. Chicago ranks near the bottom in many defensive categories and the Thunder will get out and run on them. Trends, Thunder 4-0 ATS L4 at home, 5-0 ATS L5, 5-0 SU L5, 6-1 SU vs. Eastern Conference teams in L7. Bulls are 0-3-1 ATS L4 playing on 1 days rest, and are 3-7 SU in their L10 against Oklahoma City. Plus they're 1-5 SU in their L6 on the road. Get on board with us vs. OKC. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-22-23 | Appalachian State -2.5 v. Murray State | 67-57 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show | |
App State -2.5 More analysis coming soon. We're backing App State here as they tip off early against Murray State. App State just flat out dominated UNC Wilmington on Tuesday in the 2nd half. The Mountaineers outscored Wilmington 53-22 en route to an 86-56 victory. That 2nd half showcased why this team is so good. They have the ability to turn defense into offense and they're putting up huge numbers on the offensive end both in the paint and behind the arc. App State loves to crash the boards, which ultimately should be the difference here. They rank 19th in the entire nation in rebounding and their ability to get 2nd and even 3rd chances is top notch. Murray State ranks 102nd in total rebounding and will have their hands full with the size of the Mountaineers. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-21-23 | Tennessee +3.5 v. Purdue | 67-71 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Tennessee +3 Tennessee (4-0, 3-1 ATS) and Purdue (4-0, 3-1 ATS) face off in a Tuesday semifinal at the Allstate Maui Invitational in Honolulu. The game starts at 8 pm ET (ESPN). #2 Purdue beat #10 Gonzaga 73-63, covering the -5 spread. Purdue was behind by 9 in the first half but outscored Gonzaga 43-28 in the last 20. Tennessee, ranked #8 won against the Orange Monday. UT covered as a 12.5-point favorite with a 73-56 scoreline, making them 4-0 for the first time since 2020. We're backing the Vols in this one. Purdue struggled at times to shoot the ball and even grab rebounds against Gonzaga in what eventually turned into a win. The final score of that game doesn't indicate how close the game was played as the Boilermakers had a few flaws exposed. Tennessee loves to attack the offensive glass and they get to the free throw line as good as anybody in the NCAA. They are one of the top teams in the nation at the free throw stripe, shooting at nearly 80% as a team. They are going to attack the paint and look to rack up the fouls early on Purdue. This is going to be a physical game and the Volunteers are not the kind of team you want to see on the other side of a contest like this. Tennessee ranks 11th in total defense, allowing just 57.3 points per game. They are in the top tier off a lot of defensive categories thus far, as we will see them suffocate these Purdue shooters and not allow any open lanes. Trends, Tennessee are 4-2 ATS in their L6, plus, they're 6-1 SU in their L7. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-21-23 | Syracuse v. Gonzaga -12 | 57-76 | Win | 100 | 3 h 18 m | Show | |
Gonzaga -12 Get ready for some Maui Invitational college basketball action this Tuesday. It's the Gonzaga Bulldogs (2-1, 1-1 ATS) taking on the Syracuse Orange (3-1, 0-4 ATS) at 2:30 PM ET on ESPN2. The Bulldogs are the big favorites in this clash, with a 12.5-point advantage over the Orange. The game's total points prediction is set at 160.5. We faded Syracuse in their opening round game of the Maui Invitational and it paid off as Tennessee cashed in against them. We're fading the Orange again here on the consolation side as they take on Gonzaga. Syracuse threw everything they had at Tennessee on both ends of the floor on Monday evening. They couldn't get into any sort of rhythm and it actually wore them down a lot for this spot. Now, they have to deal with a Gonzaga team that led until about 10 minutes left in the 2nd half against Purdue. This Bulldogs team lost a lot, but they can still shoot the ball as well as anyone, while attacking the rim. They come into play on Tuesday averaging over 90 points per game and have two 100 point performances. Syracuse doesn't have the firepower on the offensive side to keep up, while they have also struggled on the defensive side here in the early going. The Bulldogs shoot at a 51% clip from the field and they can create a lot of opening shooting lanes with their speed in this one. Trends, Syracuse are 1-8-1 ATS in their L10, they're also 4-2 SU in their L6, and are 0-8 ATS in their L8 played in November. On the other side, Gonzaga are 14-2 SU in their L16. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Kings v. Pelicans +1.5 | 93-129 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
Pelicans +1.5 Late Monday night card add, as it seems this is how I do things with NBA waiting for late breaking NBA news. It's increasingly harder to find out what's going on with NBA injuries. Tonight, the Kings, with a record of 8-4 (4-3 AWAY, 8-4 ATS) , are facing off against the Pelicans, who are 6-7 (4-4 HOME, 7-5-1 ATS). The game is scheduled to start at 8pm ET at the Smoothie King Center. Watch this one on BSNO & NBCS-CA. Moneyline straight up bettors can see (ML): Kings -115 | Pelicans -105, while the opening ATS against the spread (ATS) odds have the Kings -1.5 (-105) as a road favorite. The total Over/Under (O/U) is set at 237.5. 2022/23 Season series: Sacramento won 2-1. Sacramento has won 6 straight games and is coming off a 129-113 victory over the Mavericks Sunday, covering as a 1.5-point dog. New Orleans suffered a 121-120 loss vs. the Wolves Saturday, covering as a 7.5-point dog. The Pelicans have now lost 3 of their last 5, but they did have a HUGE win in one of those two wins over the World Champion Nuggets, so you get the feeling they are just trying to find their groove. Zion will be back tonight. He's playing after resting last game out. I was actually really impressed with how NOP played against the TWolves last game out. These guys play with intensity, and fire, and grit, and they're never out of a game. I wonder how good they can be when they get McCollum, and Murphy III back. Sure the Kings are rolling lately, but my money says they're going to slow down tonight. This is the second of a B2B, and 3rd in 4 nights. New Orleans are 4-2 ATS in their L6 games at home. They last met on 4/4/23 a 121-103 SAC win. SAC covered as a +4 dog. These two play again on Wednesday. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Connecticut -5.5 v. Texas | 81-71 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
UConn -5-5 We're now at the Empire Classic championship final in New York. It's the UConn Huskies (4-0, 3-1 ATS) facing off against the Texas Longhorns (4-0, 1-3 ATS) Monday night at 7:00 PM ET. UConn is favored by 5.5, and the game's total points are set at 143.5. For Moneyline bets, UConn is at -233, while Texas stands at +190. In their recent matchups, UConn, the reigning national champions, secured their spot in the final by defeating previously undefeated Indiana 77-57 Sunday. Tristen Newton impressed with 23 points and 11 boards, Cam Spencer contributed 18 on 5/8 shooting, and Alex Karaban added 13. Meanwhile, Texas clinched their place with a thrilling 81-80 W over Louisville in the late semi. Kadin Shedrick led the Longhorns with 27, supported by 14 from Abmas and 10 from Ithiel Horton. The Huskies are the move here in the finals of the Empire Classic. Texas comes in after just an absolute hard fought game that saw them hit a buzzer beater to knock down Louisville. They are going to come in with some tired legs here as this game goes on, given the physical nature they had to endure during the win. UConn meanwhile is just blowing teams out. They took down Indiana by 20 in their contest here and they are going to just wear Texas down. Look for this game to become sloppy on the Texas side as the game goes on, as the Huskies should be able to dictate a lot here. The last time these two met was in 2015. A 71-66 UConn win in Austin. UConn owns a 3 win, 1 loss record in these two teams' L4. Trends, UConn are 9-1 ATS in their L10, are 10-0 SU in their L10, and are 5-1-1 ATS in their L7 against UT. On the other side, Texas are 1-4 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 against an opponent in the Big East. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Purdue v. Gonzaga +5 | 73-63 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 18 m | Show | |
Gonzaga +5 The Boilermakers (3-0, 2-1 ATS) and Bulldogs (2-0, 1-0 ATS) are set to clash at 5:00 PM ET on ESPN2. This showdown will take place at the Stan Sheriff Center in sunny Honolulu, Hawaii. The game's projected total points, the over/under, is set at 155.5 points. Looking back to last year, Purdue and the Zags met during Thanksgiving at the Phil Knight Legacy event in Portland, Oregon. Edey had an outstanding performance, contributing 23, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks, propelling the Boilermakers to a 84-66 W. Currently, Purdue maintains a flawless 3-0 record as they head into this one. They've been favored in all their previous matchups. Gonzaga, on the other hand, is coming off a strong offensive display, tallying 86 points against Yale and more recently a 123-57 win over Eastern Oregon (I didn't know they had a school?!). Zags 2nd in the nation in scoring. They boasted an impressive 50% FG% and made 15 out of 21 FT. In terms of scoring averages, Purdue is averaging 89.3 points per game (ranked 29th), while Gonzaga boasts a remarkable 104.5 points per game (ranked 2nd). The Zags can also defend with the best of them (holding teams to 64 PPG). They shoot 57.5% too. I can't wait to watch Huff go up against Edey. With the Bulldogs entering this game as underdogs with a +4.5 to +5 point spread, they are the team to favor according to my model. Purdue are 3-7 ATS in their L10. The Zags are 14-1 SU in their L15, and 16-3 in their L19 November games. Additionally, I believe the Zags will grab an outright W. The public is on Purdue in this one, so we're grabbing the value at +5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 6* CBB ATS Play |

11-20-23 | Tennessee -12.5 v. Syracuse | 73-56 | Win | 100 | 5 h 36 m | Show | |
Vols -12.5 #8 Tennessee (3-0) faces Syracuse (3-0) in the Maui Invitational on Monday at 2:30 p.m. ET (ESPN2). When it comes to betting, the Moneyline shows Tennessee at -1200 and Syracuse at +725 for those who prefer straight-up bets. If you're into point spreads, Tennessee is favored by 13.5 points with -110 odds, and the Over/Under stands at 145.5 points. We’re backing the Vols, laying the points here in the opening round. Tennessee is going to overwhelm the Orange in this one. In their previous games, Tennessee dominated Wofford with an 82-61 victory, showcasing a shooting percentage of 47.2% from the field and a 37.8% success rate on 3-pointers this season. Meanwhile, Syracuse faced a 16-point halftime deficit but managed to secure a 79-75 win against Colgate, to stay undefeated. Syracuse comes in with 3 wins, but they’ve struggled at times on both ends of the floor in all 3 games. The latest was a 4 point win over a weak Colgate team, that gave them all they could handle. The Orange allowed 75 points and that won’t translate well against a team like Tennessee. The Vols have so many weapons and will be able to attack this Syracuse defense from different angles. Look for them to find a lot of success inside, which should open a lot of shooting lanes. I can safely say the Vols take this one, even though Cuse isn't going to go lightly. At this point of the season Tennessee is just the stronger team. Top 8 kind of team. Trends, Tennessee are 5-1 SU in their L6, and they're 6-1 SU in their L7 against an opponent in the ACC. On the other side, Syracuse are 1-7-1 ATS in their L9 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-19-23 | San Diego State v. Washington +7 | 100-97 | Win | 100 | 10 h 59 m | Show | |
UW +7 On Sunday night in Las Vegas, it's the championship game of the Continental Tire Main Event. SDSU (3-1, 2-2 ATS) faces off against the UW Huskies (3-1, 2-2 ATS) at T-Mobile Arena. The game tips off at 10 p.m. ET (ESPN2). The odds for SDSU/UW opened with SDSU -255 | Washington +205 for the Moneyline (ML), and now it's San Diego State -6.5 (-102) and UW +7, which looks like a better bet, and we're jumping on the extra point here. The Over/Under (O/U) is set at 144.5 (O: -115 | U: -105). The Huskies faced off against Xavier on Friday, and it was a close game with the final score being 74-71. The Huskies were the underdogs by 2.5 points but managed to pull off the win. Brooks Jr. was the standout player, scoring 20 for the Huskies, even though he had a 5/17 shooting record. Wheeler also contributed with 18. Despite a not-so-great 36% FG%, the Huskies only committed 10 turnovers while causing the Musketeers to make 18. On the other hand, the Aztecs, who were 2-point dogs, had a convincing victory over Saint Mary's with a final score of 79-54. LeDee continued his impressive performance, scoring 20 points for the fifth consecutive game this season. He's shooting at an impressive 61% from the field and averaging 25 points and 9 boards. The Huskies will need a solid plan to contain him if they want to come out on top in this matchup. Washington has a lot of value in this spot as this is far too many points IMO. They come in with momentum and a lot of confidence.This Washington team can beat teams from many different angles and they’re going to do just that here. Look for Washington to push tempo on this San Diego State team too. They can make things uncomfortable for the Aztecs with some speed and transition play. This game is expected to be a close one, with free throws potentially being the deciding factor in determining the winner. In terms of recent trends, San Diego State has struggled, going 1-4 against the spread in their last five games against UW. In contrast, Washington has been strong in November, winning 6 out of their last 7 games. Back the Dawgs ATS tonight in Vegas. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NCAAB ATS Play |

11-19-23 | Rockets v. Lakers -5 | 104-105 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Lakers -5 Houston (6-4, 6-3-1 ATS) faces the Lakers (7-6, 5-8 ATS) at Crypto.com Arena Sunday, with the game set to start at 9:30 p.m. ET. In terms of odds, the Moneyline offers Rockets at +180 and Lakers at -225. Additionally, the opening Against the Spread (ATS) odds are Rockets +5.5 and Lakers -5.5. The Over/Under (O/U) for total points is set at 220.5. In their recent games, the Rockets suffered a 106-100 loss against the Clippers, while the Lakers had a 107-95 victory against Portland on the road. Regarding injuries, Oladipo is out and Thompson is out for Houston, while LA's Davis is probable, but Vanderbilt and Vincent are out. In the season series, the Rockets lead 1-0 after a 128-94 home win on Nov. 8. Los Angeles is getting solid contributions all around heading into play on Sunday night. Lebron James continues to put up big numbers and the rest of the group is feeding off that energy he is bringing. We’re on the Lakers here as they have value against a Houston team that is going to regress. The Rockets have been a bit of a surprise thus far, but they come in off a loss to the Clippers last time out. They don’t matchup well with this Lakers team, who has speed and length. Look for the Lakers to dominate the paint on both ends of the floor and really dictate the tempo this game is played at. Some trends, Houston are 3-12 SU in their L15 vs LAL, and are 3-15 SU in their L18 on the road. Plus, Houston are 0-6 SU in their L6 when playing on the road against LAL. LAL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games at home. Lock in the Lakers on Sunday evening.

11-17-23 | Nuggets -5 v. Pelicans | 110-115 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Nuggets -5 Ok I'll bite. The Nuggets -3.5 was the opener, now we're a little late to the party but I wasn't sure what this line was going to do but knew I wanted action on it. SO -5 it is. The O/U opened at 225. Lots of games in the Association tonight so I may have another NBA play after this one. We'll see. This is an in-season tourney game! Pels are 1-1 in the tourney. Nuggets are 2-0. The Nuggets come into this one (9-2, 2-2 AWAY, 5-6 ATS), they take on the Pelicans (5-6, 3-3 HOME, 5-5-1 ATS). DEN is 1st in the West, NOP 10th. Denver holds the edge in PPG, PAPG, FG%, 3ptFG%, Assists, Boards, and blocks... I'll give NOP steals, they're pretty good at getting in between passing lanes. The big 5 right now are almost unstoppable (Joker, Gordon, Jackson, Porter Jr, and KCP) all averaging 30MPG and putting up a ton of scoring. It's a shame Murray can't join the party right now, but he'll be back soon. NOP injuries include: Alvarado, McCollum, Murphy III, and Nance Jr. (all are OUT tonight) NOP actually has the edge the L5 times these two have played 3-2 SU, but last time out was 11/6/23 a 134-116 DEN win. Den covered the -6.5 in that one, but we're backing Denver here, as they come in 9-2 on the season. The Nuggets used a 19-9 run late to come back against the Clippers, as they continue their hot start to the season. This team just has so many weapons and Jokic continues to produce in a big way as he is putting together another stellar season already. The Nuggets should be able to pick apart this Pelicans defense. New Orleans ranks 20th in the NBA in total defense and they are one of the worst defensive rebounding teams. This is going to be a game where Denver will look to crash the boards and get plenty of 2nd chances at the rim. (AND I DO expect another triple-double from Joker in this one) Denver should be able to overwhelm New Orleans from the start in this one. Trends, Pelicans are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6, are 0-4-2 ATS in their L6 Friday games, are 1-4-1 ATS in their L6 after scoring 100 points+ in prior game. Denver are 12-2 SU in their L14, and are 8-3 SU in their L11 vs. NOP. Plus they're 14-2 SU vs. WESTERN conference teams of late! I'm on the Nuggets tonight. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-17-23 | Magic v. Bulls -2.5 | 103-97 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 53 m | Show | |
Bulls -2.5 Tonight's NBA matchup features the East Group C clash between ORL and CHI, both of whom currently stand at 0-1 in group play, with three games left in the tournament. The game takes place in Chicago, at the United Center, with tip-off scheduled for 8PM ET. You can catch the action on NBCS-CHI. In this matchup, the Bulls (4-8, 3-4 HOME, 4-7-1 ATS) opened as slight favorites, favored by 3 points over the Magic (6-5, 3-3 AWAY, 8-3 ATS). The Money Line offers Chicago at -148 and Orlando at +124. The Over/Under (O/U) opened at 214.5, but personally, I prefer focusing on ATS and O/U bets for my NBA wagers. Analyzing the stats, the Bulls have the edge in points per game (PPG), field goals attempted per game (FGA), three-pointers made, and free throws. On the other hand, the Magic excel in defensive aspects and rebounding. Both teams are among the top 3 in the NBA for steals. Key players to watch include the return of Demar DeRo for the Bulls after a family matter, and Caruso is expected to be in action as well. However, Carter Jr. and Fultz are sidelined for the Magic, and Terry and Ball won't be playing for CHI. Their recent encounter on Wednesday saw Orlando emerge victorious with a 96-94 scoreline, covering the +2.5 spread. The Bulls will aim to return to their winning ways by emphasizing ball security, as they were the NBA's best at limiting turnovers before their Wednesday loss. In Friday's game, expect the Bulls to slow down the pace, focus on solid defense, and generate high-quality shots. They'll be looking to secure a much-needed victory and regain their winning form. Trends. Bulls 5-2 L7 Friday games. Magic 7-13 L20 games vs. Central division teams. Dating back to 2022 they're 4-9 L13 in November. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-17-23 | Oklahoma State -7 v. Notre Dame | 64-66 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 59 m | Show | |
OK ST -7 The (1-2, 1-2 ATS) Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the (1-2, 0-3 ATS) Notre Dame Fighting Irish in college basketball action. The Cowboys and Fighting Irish are aiming to bounce back after losing in the Legends Classic. They'll face off in the third-place game in New York. Tonight from the Barclays Center at 4:30pm ET we get what on paper looks like a nice matchup. But NO SO FAST! Stats tell the tale here. OKST more steals per game, more assists, (better passing team), better rebounding team, betting shooting team 44% to 40% FG%, much better from 3-pt range (36% to 18%), and averaging 69PPG to ND's 63PPG. This is a play where the main reasoning behind it is to fade Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish lost a lot of talent this past off-season and now they come in 1-2 after losing to Auburn 83-59 on Thursday. Shrewsberry's Irish aren't expected to perform exceptionally well this year. Their last game was a hard-fought loss to Auburn in the Legends semi. Notre Dame had a tough time shooting, making only 2 out of 26 attempts from beyond the arc. This has the makings of a long season for the Fighting Irish, who are going to lack just about everything. Oklahoma State coughed up a lead against the Bonnies as they fell in the final seconds of their opening round game in this tournament on Thursday night. They are still the better team overall and they will buckle down on the defensive side, which should produce a lot of Notre Dame turnovers. We're backing the Cowboys to control the pace and really make things difficult for the Fighting Irish on both ends of the floor. A couple trends, Oklahoma State are 4-1 SU in their L5 against ACC Teams, and Notre Dame are 2-11 SU in their L13, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5. OKC is 5-5 SU in their L10. ND are 2-8. I'm on OKST tonight. Give the points. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-16-23 | Thunder -2 v. Warriors | 128-109 | Win | 100 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
OKC -2 (Circa) I'm good with -2.5 as well. Tonight the Thunder (7-4, 3-1 AWAY, 8-3 ATS) are facing the Warriors (6-6, 1-4 HOME, 6-6 ATS) at the Chase Center, 10 p.m. ET (NBA TV). In terms of NBA odds for tonight's game, the moneyline (ML) favors the Thunder at -145, with the Warriors at +120. The spread (ATS) has the Thunder at -2.5 (-115), and the over/under (O/U) is set at 227.5. In their season series, the Warriors lead 1-0 after winning 141-139 on the road back on Nov. 3. They aim to avenge that game when they covered as a 6.5-point dog. Recently, the Thunder had a big 123-87 victory as 10-point favorites over the SAS, while the Warriors have faced a tough time, losing four consecutive. Last game out was a tough 104-101 loss to the TWolves. The Warriors will be without Draymond Green due to suspension, and Steph Curry is likely to be out with a knee injury (he's labelled day to day) and Kerr said likely to miss a couple games, giving the Thunder a huge advantage. We're backing the Thunder for a few reasons here. He has been a scene to say the least thus far into the season and it's put a giant target on the Warriors back. Even if Steph plays, he isn't at 100%. There are a lot of question marks here for GSW early in the season and it's led to a lot of frustrations. Oklahoma City has not only a deep team, but one that can attack. They love to push the tempo with their speed and we should see them match the intensity from this Warriors side. SGA is averaging 33.8 PPG and is putting himself in the early MVP discussion, with good reason. Let's not forget about Holmgren. Who in the prior matchup put up 24 with 8 boards and 5 assists. Two tough dudes to matchup with every night. Thunder had 19 steals against the Spurs. Just sayin. Some trends, OKC are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 4-1 SU in their L5. Golden State are 1-5 SU in their L6, and they're 1-4 ATS in their L5 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight. (Hoping Curry stays away) Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-16-23 | College of Charleston v. Vermont +2 | 64-73 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Vermont +2 The 2023 Myrtle Beach Invitational starts today at the HTC Center. The opening matchup features the Charleston Cougars facing off against the Vermont Catamounts in a game scheduled for late morning. Charleston has won one of their two games this season, defeating Iona, but they also suffered a loss to Duquesne. On the other hand, Vermont has a perfect 2-0 record so far this season, winning against both Merrimack and Plattsburgh State as they kicked off their 2023-24 season. We're playing Vermont here, as small underdogs in the Myrtle Beach Invitational. Charleston comes in 1-1 after they were blown out by Duquesne in their latest contest. That comes on the heels of their 2 point season opening win over Iona. They have looked a little sluggish through their first two games on the defensive end at times and that is going to be seen here against Vermont. Vermont is a very physical team that loves to control the paint. They're going to impose their will early in this one on Charleston and look to win the battle on both ends of the floor inside. With this being an early start, Vermont gets the advantage with the style they play. Trends, College of Charleston are 1-4 ATS in the L5. Vermont are 17-1 SU in their L18. Good Luck, Razor Ray.
