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.

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 |

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.

Suns -5.5 (8-2, 6-4 ATS, 3-2 AWAY) Minnesota Timberwolves take on the Phoenix Suns (4-6, 4-5-1 ATS, 1-4 HOME) tonight. Game time is 9pm ET from the footprint Center in Phoenix, AZ. PHX comes in averaging 111PPG, Minni 111PPG. MIN 48% FG%, PHX 45% FG%. H2H in their L10 Phoenix is 8-2 vs. Minni, averaging 117PPG in their wins to Minni's 110PPG. They're 8-2 ATS in those 10 too. The debut of the BIG 3 tonight in Phoenix. Beal, Booker & Durant. Big letdown spot for the TWolves in this one after winning 7 straight. They’re coming in off back to back road wins over Golden State, which also include a brawl last time out as Klay got into a scuffle. They had a PHYSICAL game last night vs. the GSW. Towns (42), Gobert (35), Edwards (36), Conley (31), and Anderson (27) played big minutes with McDaniels getting tossed out alongside GSW's Green. They get the Suns who are much better than their record indicates. They have battled injuries through their first 10 games and they get a boost with Beal in the lineup. This is a spot for them to show why they’re still the team to beat in the West and humble this Timberwolves fast start. Phoenix has far too many weapons and this will be the kind of game where they can pick apart this Minnesota defense. Durant loves playing against Minni (27PPG, in 43 games). Suns have had 2 days off too. Not having played since Sunday vs. OKC (a 111-99 loss). OKC had a huge 4th qtr in that one (31-13) to deal Phoenix the L. The Suns had no Booker or Gordon in that one. They'll have Booker tonight, unsure about Gordon he's a GTD. I'm not worried about an adjustment period for PHX's stars. They played in the preseason together. Some trends I like, The TWolves are 0-6 ATS in their L6 against the Suns, and are 1-7 SU in their L8 against them. They're also 1-4 ATS in their L5 on the road, and finally, they're 1-5 ATS in their L6 on the road vs. the Suns. Dating back to 2022, Phoenix are 8-4 SU in their last 12 played in November. I'm backing the Suns tonight to have a strong second half, and bring this one home. We could see garbage time in the last 6 minutes. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-14-23 | Spurs v. Thunder -10.5 | 87-123 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Thunder -10.5 The Spurs come into this one (3-7, 4-6 ATS, 1-4 AWAY) taking on a Thunder team that is (6-4, 7-3 ATS, 3-3 HOME). This matchup is another NBA tournament game, and it's the only NBA play I love. (Other than the free play I put up) so we'll call this an 8* winner! Tip-off is at 7:30pm ET from the Paycom Center in OKC. The Spurs take on the Thunder tonight. OKC is 3-0 vs. SAS L3. They've averaged 117PPG in those 3, to SAS's 105. Spurs near the bottom of the league in most defensive categories, and OKC starting to surge. SGA is healthy, and the Thunder come in off a HUGE win last game out vs. the Suns (111-99). Those kind of wins over teams that are supposed to beat you can be season defining. I'm not sure we're there yet, but it was a confidence and moral booster for sure. Suns had an 86-80 lead into the 4th but a wicked 26-9 run by OKC sealed the deal. Beal & Durant couldn't help in this one. OKC can play some defense can't they? Williams, Dort, and Wallace all make life difficult in and around the paint. The hussle is off the charts. (If I wasn't a life-long Seattle Supersonics fan I might actually like this OKC team) Sunday the Spurs lost 118-113 to the Heat. Only the Grizz, Wizards, and Pistons are doing worse (according to the standings). Spurs can't stop teams from hitting the 3. Plus they're bottom of the league in steals and opponent turnovers. Sure Wemby can block balls, but this SAS team don't help themselves much. Also, their "tall ball" lineup isn't working either IMO. Only positive they're somehow averaging 113PPG. The Spurs are 1-4 ATS in their L5, are 0-4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. OKC, and are 3-6 SU in their L9 vs. OKC. On the other side OKC are 4-1 ATS in their L5, and finally, they're 5-2 ATS in their L7 at home. I'm on the Thunder tonight ATS. (Seeing -10.5). Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-14-23 | Duke -3.5 v. Michigan State | 74-65 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Duke -3.5 At 7pm from the United Center in Chicago #9 Duke (1-1, 1-1 ATS) faces #18 Michigan State (1-1, 0-2 ATS) in Chicago's Champions Classic. Michigan State began with a 79-76 OT loss to James Madison but rebounded with a 74-51 win over Southern Indiana. Duke, after a big win against Dartmouth, suffered its first loss to Arizona at home. We’re backing Duke here in a bounce back spot. It’s rare to see Duke lose at home, but they couldn’t solve Arizona on Friday night. We’ve seen this Duke team in the past really step up after losses and this is going to be the kind of game here where they certainly are up for it. The Blue Devils have a huge edge on the offensive end here. They will get a Spartans team that struggles with shooting the 3 ball. They’ve hit just 2 of 31 attempted so far which has become almost a head game for them. Duke is going to look to get out to a fast start, as they know they can’t dig themselves an early hole against a physical team like this. The style and tempo Duke plays with should be overwhelming for this Michigan State team. Expect plenty of run outs and transition buckets for Duke in this one. Duke are 6-2 ATS in their L8, are 11-2 SU in their L13, and are 6-3 ATS in their L9 vs. MSU. Plus they're 15-5 SU in their L20 vs. Big10 schools. Michigan State are 2-5 ATS in their L7.

Providence +1.5 Adding another CBB play here after crunching some more numbers. Tonight at 6pm ET from the Amica Mutual Pavilion in Providence, RI as the (1-1, 1-1 ATS) Wisconsin Badgers take on the (2-0, 1-1 ATS) Providence Friars. In their recent matchup, Wisconsin suffered an 80-70 defeat to Tennessee. On the other hand, the Friars head into Tuesday's game undefeated this season, having won 79-69 against Milwaukee on Saturday. We’re on Providence in what should be a gritty battle. Providence can lean on their defense here. Wisconsin is such a slow team that does not have any sort of tempo. Their attack lags spark and that fits right into the advantage of Providence. The Friars have been solid defensively through their first two games, allowing less than 70 in each of them. They should be able to frustrate the Badgers. Expect a ton of high pressure defense, with them forcing some tough shots and turnovers in the process. But the big question tonight for me is whether the Badgers can contain Josh Oduro. He was a force in the Friars' previous game, recording a double-double with 13 points and 12 boards. Oduro's impact should be a game-changer. The Friars are 18-2 SU in their L20 at home. This is tough place for a road team to come in and grab a W. I love the home dog tonight. Back the Friars. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 6* CBB ATS Play |

11-13-23 | Michigan v. St. John's -2.5 | 89-73 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 42 m | Show | |
St Johns -2.5 We're on the Red Storm here, laying the small number against Michigan. Rick Pitino will have his men ready for a prime time spot in front of nearly a national audience (FS1) (At least those not wanting to watch MNF, for which I also have a premium play up for, shameless plug). The Red Storm lead the all-time series 4-1. But, this will be their first H2H meeting in 23 years. Madison Square Garden will be behind the Red Storm in full force here on Monday night. St. Johns comes in 1-0 with a dominant offensive performance over Stony Brook last time out to start the season. It was the three ball that was the difference here as they drained 11x 3's and that is going to be their plan of attack here on Monday night. Look for them to push the tempo on Michigan and try to open shooting lanes for their 3 point attack. The Storm have a completely new roster, and for those that don't know them, tonight is your introduction. I know, I know Michigan comes in off of big wins for a combined 55pts, but those games were against North Carolina-Asheville and Youngstown State. In this one, Big Blue will struggle defensively with the speed and we should see St. Johns energized by this crowd. The Red Storm are 6-3 ATS in their last 9, are 4-1 ATS in their L5 vs. Big 10 teams, and are (dating back to 2022, 12-0 SU in their L12 in November). Back SJU. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-12-23 | Nuggets v. Rockets +4.5 | 104-107 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Rockets +4.5 Sunday we get the (8-1, 5-4 ATS, 2-1 AWAY) Denver Nuggets taking on the (5-3, 4-3-1 ATS, 5-1 HOME) Houston Rockets in NBA betting action. This one tips off at 7:10ET from the Toyota Center in Houston. Both teams come into this one TOP 5 in defensive pts. allowed at 106PPG. The early season defense is on point. Houston is a better 3-pt shooting team thus far in the season, but of course Denver is scoring 116PPG, to Houston's 111PPG. RPG are pretty even tbh. Houston right now is the team to watch in the NBA. They’re playing at a top level and come in winners of 5 in a row. This is a much different defense that we’ve seen in past seasons from them too. They have been defending with a ton of pressure and are putting together solid performances with their ability to rebound the ball. Offensively, they’re getting contributions from a lot of different players each night too. This is a game they’ll be up for too. With the momentum and a top team in town, the Rockets will have a ton of motivation here. Look for them to keep this close with a chance to steal it outright. Jamal Murray is still OUT for this one for Denver. While Oladipo is of course OUT for Houston. The last time these two met was 4/4/23 a 124-103 Houston win. They covered the +11 in that one. Last game out the Nuggets took down the Warriors in a thriller 108-105. Houston got past the Pels 104-101 in a group stage tourney game. A couple trends, Denver are 2-4 ATS in their L6 against Southwest Division teams. Houston are 4-0-1 ATS in their L5, and are 5-0 SU in their L5, and are 6-1 SU in their L7 at home. Plus they're 13-4 SU in their L17 vs. the Nuggets. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-11-23 | Ohio -1.5 v. Cleveland State | 78-82 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Ohio -1.5 The 1-0 (1-0 ATS) Ohio Bobcats face the 0-1 (1-0 ATS) Cleveland State Vikings on Saturday in college basketball action at 6pm ET. We're on Ohio against Cleveland State on Saturday. At this small number you can play -120 ML, or -1.5 ATS. We're going ATS. The Bobcats have dominated this head to head series as of late and Ohio figures to be one of the teams back in the top of the standings of the Mid American Conference this year. They come in off an 88 point performance to start their season as they love to play with quick pace and can shoot the ball as well as anyone when they're on. The Vikings are poised for a big year, but this is a matchup that simply favors Ohio. They are deep and their ability to shoot the 3 will be the difference maker here. Look for the Bobcats to turn this one into a track meet and put up a lot of pressure early on this Vikings side. We're playing the better team at a good number. Some trends I like, the Bobcats are 9-3 SU in their L12 (dating back to last year of course), and are 6-0 ATS in their L6 vs. the Vikings, plus they're 7-0 SU in their L7 vs. CLEST. On the flip side the Vikings are 1-8 SU in their L9 vs. MAC teams. This won't be a good day for Cleveland State. Back Ohio. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* CBB ML Play |

11-10-23 | Radford v. Marshall -3 | 66-62 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Marshall -3 Marshall (1-0) comes into this one on Friday night ready to keep their winnin' ways going against an upstart Radford (0-1) who dropped their first game of the year. Last game out Marshall took down Queens NC 89-73 in a game that wasn't relatively close. Radford lost out to Charlotte 63-56. Marshall is a much better offensive team here on Friday night. The Thundering Herd come in after taking it to Queens in their opener as they dominated in every facet of the game. They came out with a purpose and overwhelmed them on both ends of the floor. Marshall is led by Kamdyn Curfman and Kevon Voyles. Voyles put up 18 in the opener and grabbed 6 rebounds while dishing out 5 assists. This Marshall team is deep and has a lot of weapons that can cause issues for opposing defenses. Look for them to overwhelm here on Friday night as they have a clear edge. Radford hasn't been doing so well lately, with a 1-7 record in their L8 games against Marshall. They've also struggled, going 1-5 in their L6 games against teams from the Sun Belt. On the flip side, Marshall has been a pretty good ATS team to bet on dating back to last season, winning 13 out of their L17 games. They've been particularly dominant against teams from the Big South, boasting an impressive 18-1 record in their L19. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-09-23 | Hawks -3.5 v. Magic | 120-119 | Loss | -105 | 3 h 7 m | Show | |
Hawks -3.5 The Hawks (4-3, 3-4 ATS) take on the Magic (4-3, 5-2 ATS) tonight...IN MEXICO CITY! This is a 9:40ET tip-off. I couldn't lay off NBA tonight. I tried, I just couldn't. Late add here. Magic are banged up. No Gary Harris, Kevon Harris, Wendell Carter Jr, and Fultz will be a GTD, and if he even does suit up won't likely see anywhere near his usual minutes. Wesley Matthews is OUT for ATL. This is a neutral court game so I can't throw the NBA home/away trends at you in this one...sorry. ATL #2 in PPG with 122. 11th in FG% and 21st in 3PT%. (All numbers better than Orlando) Orlando is the better defensive club no doubt, but ATL will own the boards tonight, and that will all lead to a ton of second chance buckets. The L3 times these two have played ATL has won 2-1. ATL are 4-1 SU in their L5, and 7-3 ATS in their L10 vs. ORL. Plus they're 9-2 SU in their L11 vs. ORL. On the other side ORL are 1-4 SU in their L5 vs. Eastern Conf. teams. ATL went 3-1 vs. ORL in 2022/23, and they've taken 9 of the L11. Before ATL lost to OKC on Monday they'd won 4 in a row. I think they get back on track tonight by 6+. Back the Hawks -3.5. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-08-23 | Blazers +8.5 v. Kings | 118-121 | Win | 100 | 4 h 8 m | Show | |
Trail Blazers +8.5 Some late night West Coast NBA gambling action to wrap up our evening. We're on the Blazers ATS tonight. Both teams recently lost their last games. Portland lost 112-100 at home to the Grizzlies on Sunday to split their two game H2H matchup, while the Kings suffered a 122-97 defeat to Houston on Monday in which they're were totally taken apart. What has happened to the Kings without their do-everything man De'Aaron Fox? He'll be back soon, but not soon enough. Portland won't have Scoot Henderson and is still missing Simons and also are down backup center Robert Williams III as well now. They're a bit banged up, but thankfully the Kings aren't in great shape either (Fox & Lyles). I like where PDX is going. They're young, sure, but I'm happy with where PDX is right now, they're improving every game, they've got young studs (soon), a good mix of vets, and they play with desire and hustle, it's all you can ask for. It helps that Ayton has picked his game up too. He's averaging 30MPG, 10PPG, 13RPG and chipping in with timely blocks, and the occasional steal. He had a career high 23 boards just the other day too, and he's grabbing his share of double-double's early in the season. Portland are 7-2 ATS in their L9 games on the road. On the other side, Sacramento are 1-4 SU in their L5 games, and they're 3-7 ATS in their L10 games at home, and finally they're 3-8 in their L11 vs. Western Conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 6* NBA ATS Play |

11-08-23 | Clippers -4.5 v. Nets | 93-100 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 9 m | Show | |
Los Angeles Clippers -4.5 We're on the Clippers here, laying the number on the road. Things didn't go as planned for James Harden Clippers debut as they were trounced to the Knicks. This is a prime bounce back spot now as they come into play here against a Nets team that has had a lot of issues. Brooklyn is 0-3 at home for starters as they have struggled to find any sort of consistency. Their issues on the defensive end are going to be a huge problem against this Clippers attack. Los Angeles is going to right the ship as Harden makes this team better no matter what you hear from the outside noise. Look for Los Angeles to push the tempo and force the Nets into some tough transition defensive spots. The Nets are 3-9 SU in their L12, and are 0-6 SU in their L6 at home, finally they're 1-6 ATS in their last 7 against Western Conference teams. Good Luck, Razor Ray Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-08-23 | Jazz v. Pacers -6 | 118-134 | Win | 100 | 17 h 2 m | Show | |
Pacers -6 Jazz (2-6, 0-4 AWAY, 3-5 ATS) have lost 5 of 6, and they've only got 2 wins this season from 8 games. They're averaging 111PPG (16th), and are 24th in FG% at 45.1%. The Jazz have had the doors blown off of them through their first two games of this roadtrip. They have looked awful on both ends of the floor as it seems like Utah just simply doesn't have the firepower to keep up with the teams in this league so far. They come in ranking near the bottom (29th) in total defense and have to deal with a Pacers team that loves to play quick and up tempo. Indiana (4-3, 3-2 HOME, 4-3 ATS) comes into this game scoring 121 points in each of their L3. They're the #1 scoring team in the NBA averaging 124PPG. They're 4th in FG% 49.55. Utah are going to have their hands full all night long here against this Indiana side that ranks near the top in a lot of offensive categories. Look for Indiana to put their foot on the gas and take advantage of this Utah defense that just struggles so much to get back in transition. Indiana are 8-4 SU in their L12 games when playing at home against the Jazz. On the other side Utah are 2-4 ATS in their last 6 games, are 1-5 SU in their L6, and are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games on the road. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

11-08-23 | Canisius +14 v. Syracuse | 77-89 | Win | 100 | 17 h 22 m | Show | |
Canisius +14 We're on Canisius on Wednesday night as they go into Syracuse here. The Orange already do have a game under their belts, but it was far from pretty on the defensive end. They allowed 72 points to New Hampshire in a game where the Wildcats just didn't go away. Syracuse struggled on the defensive end as they allowed a lot of looks at the rim. They got themselves into some foul trouble as well in the win, which is something they have to avoid here. Canisius is going to attack this Orange zone and look to open things up for their outside shooters. Dating back to last year of course, Canisius are 7-0 ATS in their L7 games, and are 5-2 SU in their L7 games. Plus they're 4-2 ATS in their L6 games against Syracuse. On the other side Syracuse are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games, and they're 1-6 SU in their L6. This game should be close throughout, helping them keep it within the number. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

11-08-23 | Florida Atlantic -5.5 v. Loyola-Chicago | 75-62 | Win | 100 | 17 h 35 m | Show | |
FAU -5.5 FAU is going to have quite the spotlight on them heading into this season. They made their improbable run last year in the NCAA Tournament and now open the season as one of the best in the nation. FAU come into this one holding the early season #9 ranking in the nation. They're a preseason final 4 pick yet again after that remarkable Final 4 run last season. They're returning all 5 starters and look poised to do great things. They went 35-4 in 2022/23 and have a new home in the AAC after moving from the CUSA. In the previous season, Loyola-Chicago switched from the Missouri Valley Conference to the Atlantic 10. The Ramblers had a tough year, with a 10-21 overall record and a disappointing 4-14 performance in the A-10. Can they improve in 2023/24? They'll need to start quick on Wednesday. This is the kind of game from the outset where FAU can show the nation they still have it. They're going to be tested all year long as they'll have a huge target on their backs, but that won't be something they shy away from. This FAU side showcased last year with this starting 5 that they can attack the rim and shoot it just as well as anyone else in the nation. Look for some inspired play here and for them to come out with a lot of fire, knowing they want to get off to a quick start to the season. FAU are 5-1 ATS in their L6, and are 11-1 SU in the L12. On the other side, LC are 1-5 ATS in their L6, and are 1-5 SU in their L6. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* CBB ATS Play |

11-06-23 | Akron v. South Dakota State -1.5 | 81-75 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
South Dakota State -1.5 Akron comes into this one (3rd in the MAC in 2022/23) and SD State was (2nd In the Summit). This one tips off at 9:15pm ET from the FROST Arena in Brookings, South Dakota. Odds favor the Jackrabbits by -1.5. The total is set at 141.5. SDST is a -120 favorite on the ML. This is a revenge spot for South Dakota State as they welcome in Akron to start their season. The Zips and Jackrabbits battled into overtime last year as Akron escaped with a 1 point win at home. 81-80. South Dakota State blew a lead late in that game and that isn't one they're going to forget heading into this matchup. SDST covered as 3.5 dogs. Akron went just 5-6 on the road last year as the MAC runners-up return a lot of good pieces. However, this is the kind of game and team that can match their intensity and ability to shoot the 3. South Dakota State will score a lot of quick flurries of points and they can shoot the 3 similar to Akron can. This just isn't a good matchup for the Zips to start their campaign. Look for South Dakota State to overwhelm them in this one and get out to an early lead that see them put their foot on the gas. Some trends to note, Akron are 2-4 ATS in their L6, and are 3-7 ATS in their L10 against an opponent in the Summit League conference. South Dakota State are 4-2 ATS in their L6, and are 8-2 SU in their L10 games. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* CBB ATS Play |

11-06-23 | Celtics v. Wolves +4.5 | 109-114 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Wolves +4.5 The Timberwolves (3-2, 3-2 ATS, 3-0 HOME) try to extend their home dominance on Monday night against the team with the best record in the Association thus far in this young season. Minnesota has a three-game home winning streak to protect. The Boston Celtics (5-0, 2-1-2 ATS, 1-0-2 on the road) come to town. Tip off is at the Target Center, at 8:00 PM ET on BSN and NBCS-BOS. The Celtics are favored by 4. The Over/Under is 227.5. Straight up Moneyline bettors will see Boston -176, Minnesota +149. These two last met on 3/15/23 a 104-102 Celts W. They have 1 common opponent this season. MIN defeated MIA 106-90. BOS defeated MIA 119-111. The Timberwolves are valuable at this number. Minnesota catches Boston in a good spot here. The Celtics are unbeaten but it’s put a target on their backs early in the season. Minnesota has been no slouch either. They’ve shown they’re going to be a force in the west with their ability to score. We’ve seen they’ve had little issue when it comes to attacking. They spread the floor and put together some quick attacks. Combine their ability to work in the paint with their top shooters and this is the kind of game where they can give the Celtics a lot of issues. Defense wins championships, and this is the best defense taking on the best offense. I'm going to side with the defense tonight. Especially since the Celts have travelled from NY on Sunday. If you're feeling like a side bet put some on the Wolves ML too. Some trends to note, Minnesota are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games, and 4-0 ATS at home in their L4. I like the Wolves at home tonight to keep this number close. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Lakers +1.5 Monday night we get the Lakers (3-3, 0-3 AWAY, 3-2 L5, 1-5 ATS) vs. Heat (2-4, 2-1 HOME, 2-3 L5, 1-5 ATS) matching up. Kaseya Center Tip-off is set for 7:40 p.m. ET (on NBA TV). H2H matchups of late between these two: 1/4/23 LAL 112 MIA 109. 12/28/22 MIA 112 LAL 98.Lakers are a +1.5pt dog, the O/U is set at 222.5. Injury Report: MIA - Hampton OUT, Jovic ?, Martin OUT, Butler (Prob.) LAL: Hayes OUT, Hachimura OUT, Schifino OUT, Vincent OUT, Vanderbilt OUT. I'm on the Lakers tonight. Afternoon day of game add-on here as we're really watching injury reports with the NBA early in the season here. It's really hard to cap NBA games right when the lines come out. The more information we can get throughout the day the better. The Lakeshow were embarrassed in Orlando and will want to right the ship here on Monday in a city where LeBron will have extra incentive to put on a show. As for Miami, we can hardly take anything from their two wins. They were against teams we hardly expect to be talking points in 3-4 months. The Lakers aren't good in the 1st qtr, the Heat aren't good in the 4th, and I think you can now see why the spread on this game is so close. It's going to come down to a few blocks, steals and boards in this one. Lakers score more PPG, have a better FT%, and rebound on the defensive glass much better. They're also 2nd in the league in blocks! Some trends to note, Heat are 0-5 ATS in their L5 home games, 0-5 ATS in their L5 as a home fav, 1-4 in their L5, 1-4 in their L5 ATS. The Lakers are 3-2 in their L5 SU. Backing the Lakers today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-06-23 | Georgia v. Oregon -5 | 71-82 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Oregon -5 We're on Oregon (4th in Pac 12) vs. Georgia (11th in SEC) here as the College Basketball season tips off. This one tips off at 4:30pm ET from Las Vegas. This Ducks side is going to be a good team not just in the Pac-12, but in the entire nation. They return seven players in total to this roster, with 3 of those being starters from last season. This team is extremely deep and they are going to showcase that here against Georgia. They did manage to get to the NIT quarters last year and went 21-15. This team is only 2 years removed from making the 2021 Sweet 16. The Ducks love to play with some tempo too as well, which should throw Georgia off here in Game 1. Look for them to utilize the transition game and get out on this Bulldogs defense. Oregon is at their best when they can lean on their speed and size, controlling the paint on both ends of the floor. This is simply not a good matchup for the Bulldogs right out of the gate here this season. UO returns the better lineup (on paper), so fingers crossed that translates here early in the season. UG went 16-16 last year and hasn't reached the NCAA tourney since 2015. Some trends to note, Georgia are 0-7 ATS in their L7 games, and they're 0-6 SU in their L6 games. On the other side Oregon are 6-2 SU in their L8 games. I'm backing Oregon today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 8* CBB ATS Play |

11-05-23 | Warriors v. Cavs -1.5 | 104-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 46 m | Show | |
Cavs -1.5 The Cavaliers (2-4, 0-3 Home, 3-3 ATS) are set to take on the Warriors (5-1, 4-0 AWAY, 1-5 ATS) at home, hoping to break their three-game losing streak. The game starts at 6:00 PM ET from the Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse in Cleveland, OH. Watch it on TV on BSOH and NBCS. In terms of Moneyline (ML) odds, the Cavs are at -120, while the Warriors stand at +105. Cleveland is a slight 1.5-point favorite on the spread. The game also has an over/under set at 224.5 for those interested in the total points. Injury Status: Klay Thompson GTD. We’re on the Cavs here Sunday night. Cleveland has to turn things around and they’re going to have to be at their best here. The good news for Cleveland is their health. They’re at full health with Jared Allen and Darius Garland back. This will be just the 2nd game of the season where the Cavs will have the entire roster back. They have the weapons to compete with this Warriors side and they’re going to get up for this game. Cleveland will push the tempo on Golden State and look to attack in transition. They’re going have the pace here and it’ll open shooting lanes for the likes of Mitchell and Garland. The last time these two met up was 1/20/23 a 120-114 GSW win. OBviously the Warriors are clicking on all cylinders but they've been travelling a lot here to start the season and the Cavs while not the ELECTRIC factory are more than capable to get up and down the court here with GSW. Some trends to note, the Cavs are 7-3 in their L10 November games, and are 7-2 in their L9 games played on Sundays. Lastly, the Cavs have covered ATS in their L7 vs. Western Conference teams, after losing the previous game as a FAV. Cavs will be up for the challenge. I'm backing the Cavs -1.5 today. They'll get it done vs. GS. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-04-23 | Suns v. 76ers -5 | 100-112 | Win | 100 | 2 h 33 m | Show | |
76ers -5 Philadelphia (3-1, 2-0 HOME, 3-2 ATS) hosts Phoenix (2-3, 1-1 AWAY, 4-0 ATS) at Wells Fargo Center today at 1 p.m. ET. Last season's series ended in a 1-1 tie, and this marks their first clash in the 2023/24 season. Phoenix has won 3 of the 4. They split last season. 3/25/23 was their last matchup, a 125-105 Phoenix win. The odds for Saturday are as follows: Moneyline (ML) shows Suns +155 and 76ers -190, while Against the Spread (ATS) has 76ers -4.5 (-110), now shifting to -5. The Over/Under (O/U) stands at 220.5. The Suns suffered consecutive losses to the Spurs on Tuesday and Thursday, failing to cover both games. In contrast, on Thursday, the 76ers triumphed over the Raptors 114-99, covering as 7.5-point home favorites. They're a perfect 4-0 ATS this season. Phili is 7th in the association at PPG with 117 per game, the Suns are 18th with 112PPG. The Phili defense is 5th in the NBA with 105PPG, and the Suns are 14th at 111PPG. Both teams are TOP 10 in FG%, and FT%. Plus they're both Top 10 on the defensive boards. But, and let me just say this bluntly. Do you really think Nurkic can hang with Embiid today? I sure as heck don't. And as a side bet I'm getting down on any Embiid props I can find. Booker (ankle) is OUT per Vogel this AM, and with a game in Detroit tomorrow, he will skip today's matchup. (He's from Detroit) With Booker out I really like Maxey to have even more of an impact on this matchup today. Dude's ballin' right now. 30PPG, 6RPG, & 6APG. He's the NBA player of the week for a reason! PHX won't have an answer for him. Some trends to note, Philadelphia are 12-5 SU in their L17, and 8-3 in their L11 at home. Plus the 76ers are 6-0-1 ATS in their L7 games as a favorite of 5.0-10.5. On the other side the Suns are 0-4 ATS in their L4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and they're 1-7 ATS in their L8 games as an underdog of 0.5-5. Phoenix has travelled, this is the first game of a back to back and they don't have Beal or Booker. OUCH. Only way this is close is if Durant has one of "those games". I'm backing Phili -5 today. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

11-03-23 | Cavs -1.5 v. Pacers | 116-121 | Loss | -115 | 1 h 57 m | Show | |
Cavs -1.5 Cleveland (2-3) takes on the Pacers (2-2) tonight at 7 p.m. ET in Gainbridge Fieldhouse. The Pacers hold a 1-0 lead in the season series after defeating the Cavaliers 125-113 on Oct. 28. Current NBA odds show the Cavs as -124 on the moneyline, the Pacers at +122, with the Cavs now favored by -1.5 (down from -3) on the spread. The over/under is set at 229.5. This is the first matchup in the NEW NBA in-season tournament. "The NBA CUP" or whatever it's called?! The Cavs are coming off a 95-89 win against the Knicks, while the Pacers suffered a big 155-104 loss to the Celtics. In their previous matchup on Oct. 28, the Pacers beat the Cavaliers 125-113 as 3.5-point road favorites. BUT...BUT the Cavs were without 3 starters in that one. Revenge factor tonight. Injury updates: Jarrett Allen, Darius Garland, and Tyrese Haliburton are all active. Adding this play late because of lineup news (This will happen often with NBA games). The Cavs have won 2 out of the L3 in this series. They did lose the last game on 10/28. But prior to that they've won 5 of 6. I'm all over the Cavs tonight. I think they'll get the best of the Pacers and we're seeing the line move in our favor (was -3). Some trends to note, Cleveland are 7-2 SU in their L9 games against Indiana, and they're 8-1 SU in their L9 games against an opponent in the Central. Indiana are 4-9 SU in their L13 games, and they're 3-8 SU in their L11 games against an opponent in the East. Back the Cavs on TGIF. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

11-02-23 | Spurs v. Suns -8 | 132-121 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 7 m | Show | |
Suns -8 NBA Thursday night, it's a rematch between San Antonio (2-2, 1-1 AWAY, 2-2 ATS) and Phoenix (2-2, 1-1 HOME, 3-1 ATS) in NBA action at the Footprint Center, tip-off at 10 p.m. ET, watch it on NBA TV. Suns are favored with a spread of -7.5 (-115). For those going straight up, Spurs are at +240, while Suns are at -300. The Over/Under is set at 225.5. San Antonio pulled off a remarkable Halloween night comeback to beat the Suns for the first time in their last 10 meetings. The Spurs lead the season series 1-0. Both teams average 110 points per game, but the Suns have a better defense, allowing only 105 points per game, while the Spurs concede 121 points per game, ranking 27th. In their last 10 games, both teams have a 5-5 record. Notable injuries for tonight: Beal (OUT), Booker (OUT), Lee (OUT). We're on the Suns tonight to finish the job they should have finished on Tuesday. I'll admit, it's weird the NBA has been having teams play back to backs with the same team, but this is a good spot for the Suns to come out with more fire. The Suns choked away a 3 point lead with just seconds left as the Spurs shocked them for a win. Phoenix took that loss personally, especially Kevin Durant, who did not box out and turned the ball over. Look for him specifically to put up some big numbers here as the Suns are the better overall team. They have far more weapons and will come at this Spurs defense from a lot of different angles. The revenge factor is in play and we're playing the home side in this one. Some trends to note, the Spurs are 5-10 ATS in their L15, are 6-12 SU in their L18, are 2-4 ATS in their L6 vs. the Suns, and are 4-16 SU in their L20 on the road. Phoenix gets up for Prime Time Thursday night games. They're 16-4 in their L20 playing on a Thursday night at home. Back the Suns at home tonight. They'll win by 12+.

11-01-23 | Pelicans +3.5 v. Thunder | 110-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Pelicans +3.5 Tonight at 7:40pm ET in OKC we get the New Orleans Pelicans (2-1, 1-0 AWAY, 2-1 ATS) taking on the OKC Thunder (3-1, 1-1 HOME, 3-1 ATS) at the Paycom Center. The betting odds for this one have the Thunder as the small -3.5pt favorites ATS, on the ML the Pels are +140, the Grizz -155. The O/U total is set at 227.5 after opening at 225.5. New Orleans come into this winners of 5 of their L10, while the Thunder are 6-4 in their L10. These two clubs met up 5x in the 22/23 season with NOP taking the series 3-2. The Thunder have won the L2 games 123-118, and 110-96. (They haven't met since APRIL). The Thunder won 124-112 Monday over Detroit. While the Pelicans lost to GS 130-102. (No Brandon Ingram) We’re on the Pelicans here, grabbing the points. New Orleans is a very interesting team. They are built to play with a lot of speed and also have the ability to shoot a ball better than a lot of teams. Oklahoma City is getting a lot of credit here early but this team still has a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball. They are still on the younger side for the most part and still go through spurts where they just haven’t looked good at times. Grabbing the points here is the smart move as New Orleans can go toe to toe with this Okc side and have a chance to steal this outright. The ZION is my X-Factor tonight. I don't think OKC has anyone that can go toe-to-toe with him. Check out the NBA injury reports for this one. Alvarado and Ingram are questionable. When Ingram plays NOP are 2-0. (I think he plays tonight, if he doesn't McCollum plays more, and I'm OK with that too) For OKC J. Williams is OUT, and K. Williams is OUT. Some trends to note, the Pels are 11-5 SU in their L16 games, and are 5-1 SU in their L6 games when playing on the road against OKC. We're backing the Pelicans on the road tonight. Wrong team favored. (Especially if Ingram plays. LOL) You have to love the NBA injuries to start the season hey? (NOT) Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 8* NBA ATS Underdog Play |

Knicks -3.5 The Cavs (1-2, 1-0 AWAY, 0-3 ATS) take on the Knicks (1-2, 0-1 HOME, 1-1-1 ATS) tonight at MSG. Tip-off is 7:30ET. Knicks are -2.5pt favorite, the O/U is set at 212.5. On the ML the Knicks are -155, while the Cavs are +150. Happy Halloween! Light night in the association, this will be my only NBA play. We’re on the Knicks here as they have value at this number on their home court tonight. The Cavs have continued to battle injury after injury to start the seasons. Cleveland has missed their stars early and it’s resulted in them needing to utilize their bench. They’ll be without Garland and Allen once again here and they’re going to have so many issues against this defense. This Knicks team took it to them in the playoffs last year with their stellar defense and can utilize it once again here. Look for the Cavs to struggle offensively and for New York to turn up the intensity early . A trend to note, the Cavaliers are 0-6 ATS in their L6. Backing the Knicks tonight. They pass the sniff test and look like the value play here. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 8* NBA ATS Play |

10-30-23 | Jazz +8.5 v. Nuggets | 102-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Jazz +8.5 I have to admit I'm buzzing with excitement for this Monday matchup. The NBA champs, the Nuggets (3-0, 2-1 ATS), are on a roll, aiming for their fourth straight win as they take on the Jazz (1-2, 1-2 ATS) at Ball Arena. The action tips off at 9:00PM ET. Initially, the Nuggets were favored by 7.5 points, but now, the Jazz are at +8.5. The game's total points are set at 230.5. For those who prefer straight-up bets, the Moneyline odds show Denver at -334 and Utah at +262. These two last played in April a 118-114 Jazz W. They're 2-2 in their L4 H2H. The Nuggets are playing on the second day of a B2B so the Jazz being more rested should have more legs to play their style of game Monday. Utah can play with this Nuggets team. The Jazz are a young group that loves to play quickly. They can match the pace with the Nuggets, which is rare to find at times in the NBA. The Jazz have built a nice core with the likes of Markkanen, Sexton, Clarkson, and a few more supporting cast. This team feeds off the energy and when they catch fire, they come at you in waves. This is the kind of game where they will not only get up for it, but they know they have to attack to keep up with this Nuggets attack. Look for this one to be back and forth all night long, with Utah holding their own. Some trends to note, the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS in their L5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. On the other side the Jazz are 6-0 ATS in their L6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 games, and they're 7-2 ATS in their L9 games against Denver. I'm not saying the Jazz win this outright, but they'll be in it to win it. We're backing the Jazz tonight to play the Nuggets tough like they have quite often in their L5 matchups H2H. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 7* NBA ATS Play |

10-29-23 | Lakers v. Kings -2.5 | 127-132 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Kings -2.5 The Kings (1-1) will host the Lakers (1-1) at the Golden 1 Center in Sac Town today, starting at 9:00 PM ET. This game marks their first meeting this season. NO lie, this is going to be a close game, the Kings are slightly favored by 2 points (to -2.5). The expected total points scored by both teams combined is set at 234. Straight up bettors will see the ML set at Sacramento -130, Los Angeles +110. Last season, Sac-town won 3/4 against the Lakers. Interestingly, most of their victories happened away from home, as they achieved a 2-0 record in LA. The Kings last year were one win away vs. the Warriors from facing off against the Lakers in the Western Conference Semi's. We're on the Kings here, laying the points at home. They averaged 126PPG vs. LA last year and won their matchups by 5+. I'm expecting the same today. Sacramento is in a bounce back spot after they were knocked around by Golden State last time out. They put themselves in a hole early that they just could not get out of. This is the perfect bounce back spot as they matchup well with Los Angeles. The Lakers needed a huge comeback against a Suns team that was missing half their team it seemed like due to injury. The Lakers still have plenty of flaws on their side and they aren't going to match up with a team that plays with so much tempo. Look for the Kings to push the issue here and get out in transition, which should cause plenty of problems for this Lakers side. In the 2022/23 season, Sacramento had a strong performance, winning 68.6% of their games when they were favored to win (35 wins out of 51 games). When they were the favorites with odds of -130 or less in the previous year, they did even better, with a record of 31 wins and 13 losses, a 70.5% win%. Some trends to note, (There's a few...LOL) The Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their L5, are 1-5 SU in their L6 games, are 1-4 ATS in their L5 vs. the Kings, are 1-4 SU in the L5 vs. Sacramento, and are 0-5 SU in their L5 games on the road. We're on the home team on Sunday. Enjoy the NBA action! Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

10-28-23 | Grizzlies v. Wizards | 106-113 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Grizzlies -110 The Grizzlies, with a record of 0-2 (1-1 ATS), will face off against the Wizards, who are currently 0-1 (0-1 ATS). This one tips off at 7:00PM ET in Washington D.C. at the Capital One Arena, and you can catch it on TV MNMT. The Grizzlies are slightly favored by just 1.5 points in this game, and the total points expected to be scored in the match is 227 (the O/U). Starting the season didn't go as planned, did it? Washington kicked off their season with a tough loss to Indiana, the score ending 143-120. Memphis, on the other hand, had the first of their back-to-back games and fell short losing 108-104 to Denver Friday. (they did cover) This line has moved in our favor. I was ready to lock in Memphis at -1.5, but I'll gladly take a PK (-110) ATS price. Memphis will have the advantage here. Washington is going to be in store for a long season. The Wizards come in 0-1 after allowing 142 points in regulation against the Pacers. The loss featured basically zero defensive effort as they allowed a lot of easy buckets and open shooting lanes. Memphis has had their hands full with the Pelicans and Nuggets to start, so this will be a bit of a breath of fresh air almost. The Grizzlies are deep as a team as they saw all 5 starters score in double digits last time out. They should be able to turn defense into offense and attack this Washington defense, similar to what the Pacers did. Some trends to note, the Grizz are 8-4 ATS in their L12 games against the WIZ, and they're 6-2 SU in their L8 games against Washington. The WIZ are 1-6 SU in their L7 games, and they're 4-9 SU in their L13 games at home. No Shamet or Davis for WASH on Saturday. OBV. No Morant for Memphis. Back the Grizzlies on Saturday night. They're the better team here. They'll spoil the Wizards home opener. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 9* NBA ATS Play |

10-27-23 | Warriors v. Kings -2.5 | 122-114 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Kings -2.5 The Kings, who have won one game and lost none, are hosting the Warriors, who have lost one game and won none. They are playing a late-night game on the West Coast at the Golden 1 Center, starting at 10:00 PM Eastern Time. Initially, the Kings were favored to win by just 1 point, but now they are favored by 2.5 points. In terms of NBA betting odds, the Kings are getting -2.5. On the ML, Sacramento at -117 and Golden State at -103 (if you prefer straight-up winner bets). The over/under total points for the game is set at 238, down from the initial 239. Tonight, it's a revenge game in Sacramento. The Warriors beat the Kings 120-100 in the playoffs last year, knocking them out in Game 7. This Kings side is going to be good. They have an amazing mix of a young core with talented vets as they continue to push toward another postseason after falling to these Warriors last year. Sacramento plays with a ton of pace and it makes opponents just so uncomfortable. They had the Jazz on tilt all night long in their opener as they throttled them by throwing up 130 points in the victory. On Wednesday, the Kings played their first game of the season against Utah and won 130-114 while they were away from home. Barnes was the top scorer with 33 points, making 5 out of 7 three-point shots. Chris Paul had his first game in Golden State, but it didn't go too well. He got nine assists but missed all six of his three-point shots and ended up with 14 points, which was just okay. When it comes to scoring, Golden State was the second-best team last season, averaging 118.9 points per game. On the other hand, the Kings were the top-scoring team, averaging 120.7 points per game. This figures to be another game where they can get the Warriors on their heels, especially with the injury issues to Green. We're on the Kings on Friday night to take down Steph and his shorthanded Warriors. (Green will be OUT) Some trends to note, Kings are 4-1 ATS in their L5 games as a home favorite of 0.5 to -4.5. The Warriors are 1-6 ATS in their L7 games as an underdog, and are 1-4 ATS in their L5 games. Lastly the Warriors are 5-15 ATS in their L20 on the road. The Kings will play quick and come out with extra incentive here in this matchup. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

10-27-23 | Thunder v. Cavs -3 | 108-105 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 37 m | Show | |
Cavs -3 The Cavaliers, who won their first game, are playing against the Thunder, who also won their first game, on Friday at 7:30 pm ET at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. In the last season, these teams played two games and each won one. Here are the NBA game chances for tonight. To win outright, Thunder has +134 odds, while Cavaliers have -158 odds. The spread favors the Cavaliers -3.5, and the total points O/U is 226.5. The odds in Vegas are pretty tight. The Cavs have value here as they open their home campaign against the Thunder on Friday night. Both teams looked pretty darn good in their openers. Cleveland comes in 1-0 after quite the come back in the final 2 minutes against Brooklyn on Wednesday. Cleveland trailed by 4 and Donovan Mitchell took matters into his own hands as he forced a key turnover and hit a huge 3 ball to give Cleveland the win. Max Strus the smooth shootin' DePaul SG joined Cleveland and contributed 7 three pointers in the win as he figures to play a huge part in this offense. You'll remember he helped the Heat bigtime on their way to the finals last year averaging 11.5PPG. The Cavs are hoping for more of the same. They should be much more potent from deep in 2023/24 and they had 17 3's overall. The Thunder haven’t started the season 2-0 since 2016 and they were a struggle of a road team last year, and ultimately missed out on the playoffs for the 3rd year in a row. They're hoping to improve on their 40 win season, and will be riding the two Canadians and an Aussie. Dort, SGA, and #2 pick Chet Holmgren. Cleveland should be able to control the tempo of this game and with this low of a line, there’s value. A couple trends to note, OKC are 1-4 SU in their L5 games against Cleveland, and are 3-6 ATS in their L9 games on the road. Last year's scores 110-102 Cavs win, and a 112-100 Thunder W. Back the Cavs in their home opener. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

76ers +6 Get ready for an exciting Thursday night NBA showdown this week as the 76ers take on the Bucks on opening night for each team. The action kicks off at 7:30 PM ET on TNT at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, WI. If you're into betting, here are the numbers you need: The Bucks are favored by -5.5 points according to the ATS odds, and the over/under is set at 224.5. For those looking to bet on the winner, the Bucks have -225 odds, while the 76ers stand at +205. The play for Thursday is the Bucks +6. There is so much buzz surrounding this Bucks team as they kick off their season against the 76ers on Wednesday. We're backing the visitors here, with the points. Road dogs! We've typically seen in the past, when new players join and there is a lot of hype, it takes a little bit of time to get the chemistry going. There's no doubt that this Bucks team is going to be one of the best in the league. But opening up against a very physical Philadelphia team is not going to be easy. The 76ers will play through Embiid, per usual. The big center can do it all and will frustrate this Milwaukee defense. This game is going to be close throughout, with the 76ers having a chance to steal it outright. Some trends to note, (obviously these trends date back to last season) Philadelphia are 9-4 SU in their L13 games, and they're 6-2 SU in their L8 games on the road. Milwaukee are 1-6 SU in their L7 games, and are 1-6 ATS in their L7. Back the 76ers on the road to start their season. They'll keep it close. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 8* NBA ATS Play |

10-24-23 | Suns v. Warriors | 108-104 | Loss | -107 | 31 h 20 m | Show | |
Warriors PK (-107) NBA Opening Night Play! (Feels good to say that) Tonight's 2023 NBA opener features the Warriors taking on the Suns. It's set for 10:00 PM EST at the Chase Center in San Francisco, California. Here are the NBA betting lines: Suns -103 | Warriors -117 on the ML for straight up bettors, with the NBA ATS betting odds favoring the Warriors by -1 point. The over/under for this one is 232.5. Looking back at last season's matchups, the Suns dominated, winning three out of four games with scores of 134-105, 130-119, and 125-113, while losing only once, 123-112. There’s some new faces in new places in the NBA. One of those happened to fall into Golden State and you know Chris Paul will be geared up in this one. Paul has had a ton of Opening Night success throughout his career and has far more incentive in this one now. He will be trying to post his 9th career opening night double double against his former team. Him and Dario Saric provide this team with more depth, especially with Green sidelined right now. Curry and Thompson come on healthy which is huge for this side as well. This should be a close game throughout, but the Warriors have the playmakers, especially at home here. Some trends to note, (dating back to last season obviously) Phoenix are 2-5 ATS in their L7 games, and 1-5 ATS on the road. On the other side, Golden State are 16-3 SU in their L19 games at home, and they're also 5-1 ATS in their L6 games when playing at home against the Suns. I just can't see Chris Paul NOT being up for this one. We're backing Steph and the Warriors at PK odds. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

The Nuggets showed they have no issues winning on the road this postseason and they've still looked like the much better team overall here. Denver led by double digits again in Game 2 before the Heats run in the 2nd half. The Nuggets have far more weapons and will put an emphasis on the defensive end here in Game 3.

They come in after some big road wins throughout this entire postseason and can get off to a quick start here. Look for them to be much more aggressive from the outset.

The Heat were less than a second away from going to the NBA Finals and now they find themselves having to play a Game 7 on the road. Boston has been an extremely popular bet and fading them in this spot is worth the move. Miami is still no pushover. It comes down to one game and the Heat aren't a bad road team. They've shown they can win here and will look to come out with some fire early on. Some trends to note. Heat are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.

Celtics -2.5 Miami leads series 3-2. The (67-33, 30-19 on the road, 5-5 L10) Boston Celtics are looking to win another game in the Eastern Conference Final on Saturday in Miami vs. the Heat. (56-44, 34-16 at home, 6-4 L10) The Celtics were initially down by three games in this series, but their recent victories with an average margin of 15 points have reinvigorated their chances. Consequently, the pressure has shifted onto the Heat. In the upcoming game on Saturday, the Celtics are considered 2.5-point favorites, with a moneyline of -145 for Boston and +125 for Miami. The over/under for the game is set at 210.5 points. The prospect of a Game 7 in Boston, where everything is at stake, is not an attractive scenario for the Heat. Although the Celtics are still trailing in the series, their impressive performance in the last two games has made the seemingly impossible outcome more plausible. Some trends to note, Celtics are 8-3 ATS in their L11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 5-2 ATS in their L7 road games. Also the Celtics are 5-2 ATS in the L7 meetings in Miami. On the other side the Heat are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up loss of more than 10 points. We're backing the Celtics to cover the spread on Saturday night. This could very well be the comeback for the ages, and we we're going to be on the winning side with you!

Miami finally has some doubts in their minds as Boston has momentum and 2 of the final potential 3 games in this series at home.

They have been dominated in every which way as they now look to fend off elimination. We're on the Celtics here as they still aren't dead yet. This team has the talent to at least send this series back to Boston. They've proven this season they can win when their backs are against the wall as well. This is where Tatum can come out and set the tone early. In games like this, this is where the stars make the biggest difference. Expect a quick start from Boston as they need to put just a little doubt into the Heat's minds here. Some trends to note. Celtics are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.

Nuggets +3.5 Denver Leads Series 3-0 Denver and Los Angeles battle in Game 4 and we're on Denver here, grabbing the points. The Nuggets dominated the 4th quarter in Game 3 as they put the Lakers into a spiral and now have a chance to clinch the West here on Monday. Denver's offense is just simply too powerful for this Lakers side. The Nuggets have taken it to the Lakers with their inside play and have turned it into opening up shooting lanes for their shooters. Denver can score in flurries and the Lakers just don't have the playmakers to keep up. Getting points here on the better side is a valuable play. Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Nuggets are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Back Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Boston -3.5 Miami Leads Series 2-0 Boston and Miami battle in Game 3 as the Celtics have their backs totally against the wall. Miami stole both games in Boston and now it’s the Celtics who have to flip the script on the road in order to make this a series. Boston has already proven they can win big games on the road with their experience. They took down Phili on their home court down 3-2 and all season long really they’ve come up with big performances in road spots. The Celtics can lean on their experience and stars to come out here find a way to get a quick start. A fast start will put some doubt into the Heat and get Boston rolling again. A trend to note.

Lakers -5.5 Conference Finals Game 3 - Denver Leads Series 2-0 Los Angeles and Denver meet in Game 3 and we’re on the Lakers here to get themselves back in it. Denver is a totally different team on the road versus playing at home. This Nuggets side struggles away and they just haven’t looked even close to being the same. Their issues stem on both ends of the floor and the Lakers are a tough team to crack when playing in their own arena. Lebron James has been on a mission and you know he won’t go down quietly. Look for the Lakers to feed off the home crowd energy and get out to an early lead. Some trends to note.

Miami is playing with such confidence and they are coming out with a ton of momentum. They put up 46 points in the 3rd quarter and they have put a lot doubt in the minds of the Celtics.

The Lakers used a 4th quarter surge to come back and make it a game in Game 1. Without that, Denver would have blown the doors off of the Lakers as they are simply too powerful for them. The Nuggets have dropped just 7 games at home this season and they have covered a lot of those times. With Jokic playing at just a top tier level right now, this is a game where the Denver can put their foot on the gas early. Look for them to push the tempo and get out for some easy transition buckets. Some trends to note. Nuggets are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games.

Things weren't easy for the Celtics as they had to come from behind against the 76ers in what led to eventually winning Game 7. Miami has been the cinderella story this postseason. From the play in and almost getting eliminated to here, this team is playing with such confidence right now. The Heat have played well against Boston too.

Denver -6 Game 1 Denver (61-32) and Los Angeles (52-43) meet in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals. We're on the Nuggets here, laying the points. Denver is the better team overall. They have so many weapons that can cause issues for opposing defenses and the speed they play with is so tough to handle. Combine that with their ability to win at home and there are a lot of factors that come into play.

Now, they have to go into Boston and try and steal another game. The one thing for them is they've at least proven they can win in Boston.

Boston has the experience playing in games where they are back against the wall and they have the weapons to flip a script quickly.

However, returning to MSG is going to be what this Knicks team needs right now. They'll feed off this home crowds energy as they look to send the series back to Miami. New York has gone 26-19 at home and they've played some solid basketball this postseason at MSG. Miami has been a sluggish road team as well, as they've seen their production drop when playing away from home. A trend to note. Knicks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Wednesday games.

He's came up huge in every situation thus far in the postseason and will look to continue that here once again. With how close this series has been, this is a case where Phili knows they have the ability to steal Game 5.

Golden State was throttled in Game 3, but they've been one of the best teams at bouncing back after losses. They showed their resilience in the Kings series and now they need to find another big game here. This is where the Warriors thrive. The experience they have as a playoff team and playing with their backs against the wall is going to be huge. Curry steps up in big time situations and this case will be no different.

Boston -10 Boston (61-27) and Philadelphia (58-28) meet on Monday in Game 1. We're on the Celtics here, laying the points. Philadelphia will be without C Joel Embiid, who is dealing with sprained LCL in his right knee. While him being out wasn't a big deal against the Nets, missing this game will be a huge issue as Boston is far better. The Celtics are deeper and have far more weapons offensively. Look for them to expose the middle of the paint on both ends with Embiid out. An early start here will have the 76ers reeling, who just want to try and weather the storm until Embiid is back. Some trends to note. 76ers are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 Conference Semifinals games. Celtics are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.

Both teams pretty much cruised their first round matchups and the Nuggets will open play on Saturday with a solid 37-7 home mark. Phoenix was just 19-24 on the road this season and they've had issues with fast paced teams. Look for the Nuggets speed to be the difference here in this one. Denver will get out and run and really push the tempo on the Suns defense. Some trends to note. Suns are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win.

The momentum has shifted back to their side as some doubt is creeping into the back of the Lakers' minds. Memphis has the weapons to keep up with the Lakers when they're at full strength. Morant has came back in a big way and he's going to be obviously be the difference here. Look for him to set the tone and for Memphis to match that same intensity they had in Game 5. A trend to note. Grizzlies are 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 Friday games.

Golden State has taken 3 straight games and they stole Game 5 in Sacramento. The Kings had their chances this series, but now with complete control of the series, coming back to Oracle is going to bury this Kings side. Golden State is far better at home than on the road and with all the momentum now, things are looking bleak for the Kings. Look for Golden State to really come out of the gates firing and feed off this home crowd.

Atlanta getting this many points is worthy of a move. The Hawks have shown they can compete with the Celtics as the theme of the NBA Playoffs has been these lower seeds giving pressure to the higher seeds. The Hawks are one of the quickest teams in the NBA as they rank in the top tier when it comes to pace of play. Atlanta ranks third in the entire NBA, putting up over 118 points per game. After stealing one in Boston last time out, they are riding momentum as well into play here. An early lead will have this crowd behind them and they can feed off that energy. No trends to note.

We're backing the Cavs here to send this series back to MSG. Cleveland throttled New York in Game 2 here, as they dominated in every which way. This team has looked completely different at home versus on the road. They have played the best portion of their basketball at home and they know this series isn't over yet. Cleveland comes in 32-11 inside Rocket Mortgage Field House and they've gone 25-17-1 ATS in this those contests. Look for them to come out a lot of fire and get this crowd behind them early.

After just burying themselves in Game 3 early, they had no way to dig out of the hole they were in. However, it was nice to see Morant come back and put up 45 points as he should be able to have a big game here Monday. Morant will have to lead the way early here, as the Grizzlies have to take the crowd out of this game. The Lakers are just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 after a win, so piling up wins in a row has been tough to come by in general for them this season.

After falling in Game 3 and losing home court, Los Angeles did learn a little bit from the loss. They nearly mounted a comeback late with their small lineup that provided a huge spark. Look for this lineup to see some time here as it gives the Clippers a lot of energy. This may be a bit of a let down spot for the Suns here too. With the early start, they may struggle here with being on the road. If the Clippers can get off to a quick start here and get the crowd behind them, the Suns will have some doubts creep into their minds. Some trends to note. The Clippers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up loss and are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Conference Quarterfinals games. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Philadelphia -5.5 Philadelphia Leads Series 3-0 We're on the 76ers (57-28) over the Nets (45-40) in Game 4. Philadelphia has been a nice backing for us this series and riding with them in Game 4 makes sense. The Nets threw everything they had in Game 3 and still managed to not just blow the lead late, but they didn't cover. Brooklyn's confidence is totally shot and this is a game the 76ers can put their foot on the gas early and bury this Nets side. James Harden will also be back after getting tossed in Game 3 in the 3rd quarter on a questionable call. He'll set the tone here as the Nets just don't have an answer for all these weapons. Some trends to note. The 76ers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games and are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 Saturday games. The Nets are just 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Minnesota +2.5 Denver Leads Series 2-0. Minnesota (43-43) and Denver (55-29) meet in Game 3 here. Minnesota is in a must win situation and they have the edge with home court. Minnesota can expect to have a stronger performance in Game 3 thanks to the backing of their home crowd. Denver was a completely different team on the road this season, going just 19-22. They struggled to find any sort of consistency and you know Minnesota is going to come out with some fire after they were in Game 2 throughout most of it. The Timberwolves should be able to take the Nuggets out of their rhythm, which was the biggest concern for Denver when playing on the road this season. Minnesota is going to throw everything they have at Denver here, especially early on. The good news is that Edwards and KAT possess the talent to dominate games and deliver impressive stats at any moment. A trend to note. The Nuggets are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 1 days rest, and the Nuggets are 1-4 SU in their L5 on the road. On the other side, the Wolves are 5-2 ATS in their L7. Back Minnesota. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Philadelphia 76ers -4.5 Philadelphia Leads 2-0 We're on the 76ers over the Nets here in Game 3. Philadelphia dominated both Games 1 and 2 over the Nets and we get a nice line here given this game is on the road. The Nets just don't have the firepower or weapons to keep up with this 76ers side. Philadelphia has done just about everything through the first two games, as they've been able to shoot the 3 ball well and control the paint on both ends of the floor. Brooklyn has struggled defensively and they don't have the scorers to overcome that. Look for the 76ers get out early and push the tempo on Brooklyn. Some trends to note. 76ers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games. 76ers are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. 76ers are 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Thursday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Denver -8 Denver Leads Series 1-0 We're on the Nuggets here as they take on the Wolves in Game 2. Denver is just the better team here overall. We backed them in Game 1 and they dismantled the Wolves in every which way en route to a blowout win. Game 2 should be no different here. Denver is far too powerful for this Minnesota team to keep up with. Look for the Nuggets to get out and run early once again, as Minnesota is one of the worst on the transition side. An early lead for Denver will put Minnesota on their heels and doubt right in their minds. Some trends to note. Timberwolves are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 2 days rest. Nuggets are 23-9 ATS in their last 32 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall. Nuggets are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 home games. Back Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Wednesday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Cleveland -5.5 New York Leads Series 1-0 New York (48-35, 45-34-3 ATS) and Cleveland (51-32, 42-37-4 ATS) meet in Game 2. We're on Cleveland here to bounce back. Cleveland nearly stole Game 1 after trailing the entire time, but their inability to get a defensive rebound ultimately costed them. The one thing about this team is that they know how to correct the mistakes. This is a game where they will put a huge emphasis on making sure Allen and Mobley control the paint. Look for them to that from the outset here and for Mitchell to come up big in this one. Some trends to note. The Cavaliers are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 Tuesday games and the Knicks are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 Conference Quarterfinals games. Back Cleveland. Good Luck, Razor Ray.

04-17-23 | Nets v. 76ers -9.5 | 84-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Philadelphia -9.5 Philadelphia Leads 1-0 Philadelphia (55-28, 49-34-0 ATS) and Brooklyn (45-38, 41-40-2 ATS) meet in Game 2. We're on the 76ers, who are just far too powerful for the Nets in this spot. We saw that in Game 1 as the Nets tried to come out and double team the 76ers. That failed miserably as the 76ers hit 21 three pointers en route to a 20 point win. Brooklyn just doesn't have an answer here. They don't have the weapons or speed to keep up with the 76ers on either end of the floor. Look for Phili to come out of the gates firing once again, putting Brooklyn in an early hole they can't get out of. Some trends to note. The Nets are 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings and have gone 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Conference Quarterfinals games. The 76ers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 Conference Quarterfinals games and are 25-12 ATS in their last 37 home games. Back Philadelphia. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Monday 9* NBA ATS Play |

04-16-23 | Wolves v. Nuggets -7.5 | 80-109 | Win | 100 | 37 h 53 m | Show | |
Denver -7.5 We're on Denver (53-29, 45-37 ATS) here, laying the points in Game 1. Minnesota (43-41, 40-42 ATS) had to grind their way through the Play-In Tournament and now having to deal with a team as fast and as physical as the Nuggets is not going to be an easy transition. Denver can come at teams from so many different angles. They're one of the best in the paint, but also have so many different weapons on the outside that hurt teams. This is going to be a game where the Nuggets know fatigue can come in now and even later, and will try to push the tempo on Minnesota. Look for Denver to get out early in this one and keep their foot on the gas. Some trends to note. Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games. Nuggets are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games playing on 3 or more days rest. Nuggets are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. Back Denver. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play |

04-16-23 | Lakers +3.5 v. Grizzlies | 128-112 | Win | 100 | 29 h 24 m | Show | |
Lakers +3.5 The Lakers (44-39, 40-41-1 ATS) have value here, grabbing the points Vs. Memphis (51-31, 37-43-2 ATS) Game 1 here as the Lakers advanced from the play-in as this team surprised a lot of people. With injuries all season long, to some inconsistencies throughout, they still managed to find their groove at the right time. They have value here grabbing this many points against a Memphis side that dealt with their own set of issues all season long. The Lakers have the scorers and right now they're playing with a ton of confidence. Combine that with Memphis just 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and this is the kind of game the Lakers can steal outright. Some trends to note. Grizzlies are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Conference Quarterfinals games. Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Lakers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following a ATS loss. Back Los Angeles. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Sunday 8* NBA ATS Play |

04-15-23 | Warriors +1.5 v. Kings | 123-126 | Loss | -120 | 34 h 1 m | Show | |
Golden State +1.5 Golden State (44-38, 39-41-2 ATS) and Sacramento (48-34, 45-36-1 ATS) meet in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Golden State is in a great spot here. Despite their road woes at times, this is the time where every team turns it up. With injuries this season to the Warriors, it put them in this spot and honestly it may be a blessing in disguise. They're 100% healthy and take on a Kings side with no playoff experience. The Warriors are going to overwhelm the Kings. These guys have been here plenty and know what playoff basketball is like. Expect nerves from the Kings from the outset and for the experience to play a huge factor in this matchup. Curry and Thompson will come out firing and this is a chance for the Warriors to set the tone early in this series. Some trends to note. The Warriors are 11-4-1 ATS in their last 16 games playing on 3 or more days rest and are 32-14 ATS in their last 46 Conference Quarterfinals games. They are also 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 road games. Back Golden State. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* NBA ATS Play |

04-15-23 | Knicks +5.5 v. Cavs | 101-97 | Win | 100 | 32 h 45 m | Show | |
Knicks +5.5 The Knicks have value here grabbing the points in Game 1 against Cleveland. New York has played well against Cleveland as of late entering Friday. New York comes in covering 9 of 13 overall and they've cashed in 5 of the last 7 inside Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. New York ranks 11th in the NBA in total points scored and they're one of the best when it comes to crashing the glass. They rank 3rd in the entire NBA in offensive rebounds and they create many 2nd and 3rd chances. Look for them to continue that trend here, as their offensive rebounds open up a whole different game for them as it creates room for their outside shooters. Some trends to note. Knicks are 4-1-1 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Knicks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Knicks are 36-15-1 ATS in their last 52 road games. Look for New York to have a chance to steal this one outright. Back New York. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 8* NBA ATS Play |

Chicago +5.5 The Bulls (41-42, 40-39-3 ATS) and Miami (44-39, 31-49-2 ATS) meet in the Play-in tournament here. Chicago had an impressive come from behind win on the road in Toronto to advance here, while the Heat were shocked at home. This a tale of two teams just playing with different confidence right now. The Bulls are playing at a top level and they're doing it with their ability to get key stops and turn defense into offense. The Heat are struggling on both ends of the floor right now. Their inability to find consistency has costed them at that will be the case here. Chicago can pick apart their lack of confidence right now and keep this close throughout as they can steal it outright. Some trends to note. Bulls are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Bulls are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 road games. Heat are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 2 days rest. Back Chicago. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Friday 9* NBA ATS Play |

Miami -4.5 The Heat (44-38, 31-49-2 ATS) and Atlanta (41-41, 36-46-0 ATS) clash on Tuesday night in the first play in game. We're on Miami here, at home. The Heat are the better team overall. They're built with both an Inside and outside presence that can give teams a lot of issues. While health was a struggle here for them during this season, they're at least healthier than they've been coming into play. They'll take on a Hawks team that is one of the worst on the defensive side. Atlanta allows 118.1 points per game, which sits 26th in the NBA. Some trends to note. The Hawks are 2-6 ATS in their last 8 games overall and are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest. Miami is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 1 days rest and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Back Miami. Good Luck, Razor Ray. Tuesday 9* NBA ATS Play |
