12-11-22 | McNeese State v. Iowa State UNDER 129.5 | Top | 40-77 | Win | 100 | 11 h 4 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: McNeese St / ISU UNDER I am on the UNDER in the McNeese State Cowboys / Iowa State Cyclones game on Sunday. The Cyclones come into this game off a huge loss against their rival Iowa where they only put up 56 points. Now I expect their offense to put up more points in this one, but I don't expect them to absolutely go crazy. Against their last opponent with a losing record (North Dakota,) ISU put up just 63 in a 63-44 win. McNeese State doesn't score much either, they come into this game off a 52-49 win against Northern Iowa last time out. The Cowboys are averaging a 54.7% free throw percentage that does not help their scoring whatsoever. I love the UNDER here, in a game that Iowa State should control from the opening tip-off. T.M. Prediction: 71-47 ISU. Line: O/U 130.5 Line Parameter: play until 128.5 |

12-10-22 | Mavs v. Bulls OVER 222 | Top | 115-144 | Win | 100 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks / Bulls OVER I am on the OVER in the Dallas Mavericks / Chicago Bulls game on Saturday. While the Mavericks played last night against the Bucks, the Bulls are coming into this game with off of two full days rest. In their last six games, Dallas has been starting to score a lot more points than they did in the beginning of the season. The Bulls have been consistent; however, they almost always allow more than 105 points, even in their wins. These teams haven't met this season yet, but I expect this one to be a thriller. T.M. Prediction: 118-114 Bulls. Line: O/U 222.0 Line Parameter: play until 224.0 |

12-07-22 | Denver +4 v. CS Sacramento | Top | 85-87 | Win | 100 | 16 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver I like the Denver Pioneers to win this game against the Sacramento State Hornets on Wednesday. Off four straight losses, the Hornets still come into this game as the favorite. Sac St is now shooting just 63.9% from the line, which is not going to help them win many games. Denver brings in a dominant 8-1 record into this game. Although they haven't played too many great teams, their record shows that they are more than capable of beating some solid opponents. However, their only loss comes against the Hornets, in a four point game in November. The Pioneers shot the ball well in that game, yet only made two three pointers. I expect them to hit some more this game and for Denver to get their revenge. T.M. Prediction: 76-67 Denver Line: +4.0 Line Parameter: play until +1.5 |
|||||||
12-07-22 | Clippers -5.5 v. Magic | Top | 111-116 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers I like the Los Angeles Clippers to win this game against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. While the Magic have struggled to open up the new season, LA has been good. The Clippers have been without Kawhi and PG13 for some of the season and they've held their ground without them. With both of them back now, against a 5-20 Magic team, I fully believe that they should have no problem in covering this spread. T.M. Prediction: 121-104 Clippers Line: -4.5 Line Parameter: play until -7.5 |
|||||||
12-05-22 | Pacers v. Warriors -9.5 | Top | 112-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Golden State has been dominant at home this season. With a near perfect 11-1 record at Chase Center, GSW is now back in the playoff picture after having lost so many game to open up the year. Indiana, on the other hand, comes into this game of three straight losses of 16+ points. The Pacers just played Portland last night, and I expect them to be very tired as they travel south and play their second consecutive game in less than 24 hours. Give me the Warriors at home. T.M. Prediction: 129-110 Warriors. Line: -9.0 Line Parameter: play until -12.5 |
|||||||
12-02-22 | Pelicans -7 v. Spurs | Top | 117-99 | Win | 100 | 14 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans I like the New Orleans Pelicans to win this game against the San Antonio Spurs on Friday. Off their big blowout win against the Raptors on Wednesday, the Pelicans have now won four of their last five games. The Spurs have now lost nine games in a row. Not only have they not been shooting the ball well, but their rebounding has been awful as well. A team cannot shoot badly and rebound poorly and have a chance at winning. It's how this game works. In their last meeting against each other, which was less than two weeks ago, the Pelicans won by 19 points. Expect a similar outcome on Friday night. T.M. Prediction: 124-102 Pelicans Line: -7.0 Line Parameter: play until -9.5 |
|||||||
11-30-22 | Wizards v. Nets OVER 224.5 | Top | 107-113 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Nets OVER I am on the OVER in the Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets game on Wednesday. Off back to back lower scoring games, I believe that this one will go OVER. Kevin Durant, one of the best scorers of all time, led the Nets to their last win with 45 points. He may need another performance just like that if he wants to beat the Wizards in this one. Washington comes in off a huge win, after losing three straight prior. They put up 142 points and now have scored a combined 263 in their last two games. While the Wizards play their bad defense, the Nets will put up points as they lead the NBA in field goal percentage. Expect the Nets to win, but for Washington to keep it close in a high scoring affair. T.M. Prediction: 121-116 Nets Line: O/U 224.5 Line Parameter: play until 226.5 |
|||||||
11-28-22 | Rockets v. Nuggets -11.5 | Top | 113-129 | Win | 100 | 14 h 29 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets I like the Denver Nuggets to win this game against the Houston Rockets on Monday. Off back to back wins, the 5-14 Rockets will be feeling slightly overconfident. Denver brings in a 12-7 record, which is the second best in the West at the moment. With Houston due for a loss, and with Denver looking good as of late, I like the home Nuggets on Monday evening. T.M. Prediction: 121-101 Nuggets Line: -11.5 Line Parameter: play until -13.0 |
|||||||
11-27-22 | Duke -1.5 v. Purdue | Top | 56-75 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke I like the Duke Blue Devils to win this game against the Purdue Boilermakers on Sunday. Purdue is coming off a huge upset against Gonzaga on Friday. They won that game by 18 points and it might have been the upset of the year so far. Now, however, they'll play a Duke team that matches up perfectly with them defensively. Zach Edey won't have it as easy under the basket with Flipowski and Lively against him. Give me the Blue Devils, as I expect them to win big! T.M. Prediction: 77-69 Duke. Line: -1.0 Line Parameter: play until -3.0 |
|||||||
11-25-22 | Wizards v. Heat -3.5 | Top | 107-110 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Miami Heat I like the Miami Heat to win this game against the Washington Wizards on Friday. Although the heat haven't been that great to start the season, and are dealing with many injuries, I believe that they still are the better team in this matchup. These two teams met on Wednesday, and the Heat came away wit the 8pt victory. Kyle Lowry has stepped up his game and shown everyone that he isn't done yet. Washington might be without Beal again tonight which will make things difficult once again for the Wizards. Give me the Heat in a game to get back in within a game of the play-in tournament on Friday. T.M. Prediction: 111-98 Heat Line: -4.0 Line Parameter: play until -5.5 |
|||||||
11-24-22 | Iowa State v. Villanova -1 | Top | 81-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Villanova I like the Villanova Wildcats to win this game against the Iowa State Cyclones on Thursday. While the Wildcats lost a few very talented men during the offseason, they've still got a very quality group of guys. Eric Dixon and Caleb Daniels have been the main focal points of this Nova team so far, and I believe that they are strong enough to bring Nova to another great season. Iowa State come into this game undefeated, however, they have yet to face a good team. In their win against Milwaukee last time out, the Cyclones only shot the ball 39% from the field, 21% from 3, and 67% from the free throw line. If they put up those numbers again today, against a much better Villanova defense, the Wildcats should have no problem coming away with this win in the PK Invitational. T.M. Prediction: 76-66 Nova. Line: -3.5 (bad line) Line Parameter: play until -4.5 |
|||||||
11-23-22 | Pelicans v. Spurs OVER 232 | Top | 129-110 | Win | 100 | 14 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pelicans/Spurs OVER I am on the OVER in the New Orleans Pelicans vs San Antonio Spurs game on Wednesday. Both of these two teams love to score, as well as push the pace. In 17 games so far this season, the Pelicans average 116.9 ppg which ranks them 4th in the entire league. They've been shooting the ball lights out and I believe that they will continue that success here against a weak opponent in the Spurs. Although SAS haven't been scoring too many points as of late, they've been giving up a bunch. In their last five games, their opponents are averaging 124.2 points per game. I think that the Spurs will make this game slightly competitive at home, with this game going way over the total. T.M. Prediction: 124-116 Pelicans Line: O/U 232.5 Line Parameter: play until 234.0 |
|||||||
11-22-22 | Northern Arizona v. UT-Rio Grande Valley UNDER 146 | Top | 79-91 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Northern Arizona/Tex Rio Grande UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks vs UT Rio Grande Valley Vaquero game on Tuesday. Although the Lumberjacks have played some quality opponents this season, their offense has definitely not been amazing by any means. They like to play a slow paced brand of basketball which is great for “under” selections. UT Rio Grande may play a bit quicker, but they have yet to play a team with a defense like Northern Arizona. With NAU being the favorite in this game, I expect them to be able control the pace of the entire game, and for it to be a much lower scoring game than people think. T.M. Prediction: 70-63 Northern Arizona Line: O/U 149.0 Line Parameter: play until 145.5 |
|||||||
11-20-22 | Houston -6 v. Oregon | Top | 66-56 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Houston I like the Houston Cougars to win this game against the Oregon Ducks on Sunday. Everyone knows that the Cougars, under head coach Kelvin Sampson, play a very aggressive defensive brand of basketball. In my opinion, early on, they have the best shot at winning the entire thing. Freshman Jarace Walker has been a huge addition after losing some key guys during the offseason. The Ducks have already lost this season, and I do not see them beating Houston, if they can't even beat the UC Irvine Anteaters. T.M. Prediction: 75-61 Houston. Line: -6.0 Line Parameter: play until -7.5 |
|||||||
11-19-22 | Portland State v. Oregon State -8 | Top | 79-66 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 25 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oregon State I like the Oregon State Beavers to win this game against the Portland State Vikings on Saturday. The Beaver come into this game with a perfect 3-0 record. Although they haven't really been tested yet, this game shouldn't be anything to worry about for them. During those games, the Beavers have been outworking their opponents, while not shooting lights out. When they finally do start hitting their shots, this team is going to be very good. Portland State is only 1-2, with losses against in-state rival Portland, and Seattle earlier this season. Oregon State needs this game, especially with Duke on the schedule next. Expect them to rise to the occasion at home here on Saturday night. T.M. Prediction: 82-65 Ore St. Line: -8.0 Line Parameter: play until -10.5 |
|||||||
11-18-22 | Loyola Marymount v. Georgetown UNDER 153 | Top | 84-66 | Win | 100 | 10 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Loyala Marymount/Georgetown UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Loyola Marymount Lions vs Georgetown Hoyas game on Friday. The Hoyas have looked slightly shaky to start the season, coming off a double digit loss against Northwestern last time out. They ended up only putting up 63 points in that game. Although they didn't even shoot the ball badly, they just got outworked and rebounded by a more hungry team. LMU comes in off a double digit loss as well. Although they've been in some higher scoring games so far this season, the Lions shot just 14% from beyond the arc in their last game. If you win the rebound battle in CBB, you have a really good chance of winning, but it just wasn't meant to be on Tuesday and Loyola Marymount only put up 64 points in that game. The total is very high with both teams off games where they struggled. I'll grab the under. T.M. Prediction: 69-66 Georgetown Line: O/U 152.5 Line Parameter: Play until O/U 149.5 |
|||||||
11-15-22 | Pacific -4 v. North Dakota | Top | 93-63 | Win | 100 | 24 h 53 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Pacific I like the Pacific Tigers to win this game against the North Dakota Fighting Hawks on Tuesday. Off a big win against North Dakota State on Sunday (a team that I think is better than North Dakota,) Pacific will take on the Fighting Hawks in this one. Jordan Ivy-Curry has looked very good to start the year and I expect him to continue his successful start here. North Dakota is coming off a game where they got absolutely killed by 35 against Creighton. They are only averaging 14 assists per game which isn't going to help against the high scoring Tigers. Give me the favorite, and the better team as I think this will be a destruction. T.M. Prediction: 84-69 Pacific. |
|||||||
11-14-22 | Portland +5.5 v. Kent State | Top | 65-77 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland I like the Portland Pilots to win this game against the Kent State Golden Flashes on Monday. I believe that the wrong team is favored in this game. Coming off three convincing victories, the Pilots now have started a perfect 3-0. Now you would think that they finally would have some respect and be at least PK in this match, but as a pretty large underdog I love their price here. Kent State may be perfect so far as well, but they haven't played nearly as tough opponents as the Pilots are. This will be a tough game for them if they shoot the way they did against North Kentucky from the free throw line. They are just 55.9% as a team so far this year. I'll gladly take the points in this game with Portland. T.M. Prediction: 75-64 Portland. |
|||||||
11-12-22 | Northeastern v. Providence -14 | Top | 65-89 | Win | 100 | 26 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Providence I like the Providence Friars to win this game against the Northeastern Huskies on Saturday. Although the Friars lost a bunch of different guys, they still provide one of the best backcourts in the Big East and look to get back to the Big Dance. Northeastern enters this game off a double digit loss against Boston University on Monday in a game where they just got outworked. On the other hand, Providence's coach couldn't have been happy after their opening game against Rider. Although they won, it was not the blowout that they were hoping for. They finished 16-1 at home a season ago, and I have no doubts that Ed Cooley will get this Friars team right and ready for their second game of the season, off 3 full days of rest. T.M. Prediction: 78-57 Providence. |
|||||||
11-10-22 | Towson v. Massachusetts -1 | Top | 67-55 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UMASS I like the Massachusetts Minutemen to win this game against the Towson Tigers on Thursday. Both teams opened the season up on Monday with wins. UMASS, however, has a very good backcourt of Fernandez and Weeks that should cause some troubles to this Tigers defense. Towson struggled against Albany in their opener. As a 15pt favorite, the Tigers were only able to put up 67 points in a 5pt win. UMASS plays in a tougher conference, so I expect them to dominate here at home on Thursday evening. T.M. Prediction: 81-71 UMASS. |
|||||||
11-09-22 | Florida A&M v. Portland -22 | Top | 54-91 | Win | 100 | 32 h 13 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland I like the Portland Pilots to win this game against the Florida A&M Rattlers on Wednesday. Both of these two games opened up their season on Monday. Portland won their game 89-62, while the Rattlers got killed 80-45. Now, the Pilots will be back at home in a big game to keep their perfect start going here. The Pilots are a team filled with many great 2-way wing players that love to run the floor. In their opener, they able to score 21 points off turnovers which will be key in many games this year. With tougher games coming, and considering how good they look in the first game, I expect the Pilots to have no problem here on Wednesday. Take Portland and get ready for another blowout. T.M. Prediction: 83-48 Portland. |
|||||||
11-08-22 | Georgia Southern v. San Jose State UNDER 134.5 | Top | 48-63 | Win | 100 | 25 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Southern/San Jose State UNDER I am on the UNDER in the Georgia Southern Eagles vs San Jose State Spartans game on Tuesday. Georgia Southern has some very talented defenders on their team. A season ago, they gave up just 65.62 ppg and had some very low scoring games. SJSU has also seen a lot of UNDER's in the past. Last season, the Spartans only averaged 64.29 ppg. Now San Jose St might be the favorite in this game, but I think that the Eagles are going to shut down their offense and for this to be a low scoring battle on Tuesday night. T.M. Prediction: 59-56 Georgia Southern |
|||||||
10-28-22 | Rockets v. Blazers OVER 228.5 | Top | 111-125 | Win | 100 | 28 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rockets/Blazers OVER I am on the OVER in the Houston Rockets vs Portland Trail Blazers game on Friday. Both of these two teams are very offensive minded and don't have the greatest defenses. Although the Portland TraiL Blazers will be without Damien Lillard for a week or two, they still have really good offense with Simons, Nurkic and Grant. The Rockets run their fast face offense pretty much throughout the game and look to get their youngsters lots of time with the ball. Expect a back and forth high scoring game here tonight. T.M. Prediction: 119-110 Blazers. |
|||||||
10-25-22 | Warriors +3 v. Suns | Top | 105-134 | Loss | -110 | 28 h 7 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors I like the Golden State Warriors to win this game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The Warriors come into this game off a big win against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. GSW scored 89 points in the first half and looked pretty unstoppable during that game. With snipers like Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Jordan Poole, and Andrew Wiggins, this team is hard to stop for anybody in the league. The Suns come in off a win as well against the Clippers. Booker was the main focus during that game as Chris Paul and a few of the other guys were struggling to find their rhythm. Looking at this matchup, they both love their shooting and they both have excellent ball movement. Both of these teams rank in the top 5 in assists per game (Suns - #4 / Warriors #2.) Although Phoenix is at home, the Warriors just look too deadly at the moment. I'll gladly take the points with the defending champs here. T.M. Prediction: 114-108 Warriors. |
|||||||
10-21-22 | Jazz v. Wolves -8.5 | Top | 132-126 | Loss | -110 | 27 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Minnesota Timberwolves I like the Minnesota Timberwolves to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Friday. While both of these two teams won in their opening games, the TWolves have the much more talented team in this matchup. Utah somehow beat the Nuggets in a blowout victory to start the year. Although they looked like a decent team, they are in rebuild mode and I do not expect them to win that many games this year. Minnesota, on the other hand, picked up former Jazz player Rudy Gobert this offseason. The "twin towers" in Rudy and Towns should dominate this Utah team in Gobert's first matchup against his old team. Give me the Timberwolves. T.M. Prediction: 124-92 TWolves. |
|||||||
10-19-22 | Nuggets -7.5 v. Jazz | Top | 102-123 | Loss | -115 | 34 h 43 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Denver Nuggets I like the Denver Nuggets to win this game against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Utah is not going to be good this year. Everyone knows that. Although they went to the playoffs last year, the Jazz lost their two best players in Donavan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert. Many thought they were going to keep one of them, but they ended up trading both, in what looks to be a full rebuild of the organization. The Nuggets, who also went to the postseason last year, will have star PG Jamal Murray back in action to start this season. Murray did not play a single game last season, and he should be a huge help for this Nuggets team that will be complete with him back. The reigning MVP Nikola Jokic is ready to dominate once again and wants to go back to back. Expect a huge performance from the home team on Opening Night for these teams. T.M. Prediction: 121-96 Nuggets |
|||||||
10-18-22 | 76ers +4 v. Celtics | Top | 117-126 | Loss | -110 | 200 h 39 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Philadelphia 76ers. I like the Philadelphia 76ers to win this game against the Boston Celtics on Tuesday. Opening night means two tremendous matchups. Starting the season off, Philly will travel to Boston to take on the 2021-22 Eastern Conference Champs. An up and down offseason saw Boston lose their head coach yet again. Now they'll have Joe Mazulla, last season's assistant, take over as the interim head coach. The 76ers worked hard all offseason to build James Harden and Joel Embiid's connection with each other. They will be a much improved duo that might take over the entire league this season. With the Celtics having been the East's best team last season, I expect them to come out a bit shaky with so much pressure to be the same this year. Philly has nothing to worry about except for proving to the league how good their team really is. Expect an upset on Opening Night. T.M. Prediction: 107-101 76ers. |

06-10-22 | Warriors +4 v. Celtics | Top | 107-97 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Warriors are losing in this series 2-1 but I think they are going to bounce back here and take a road game back in this series. They didn't look good at all in the 1st half of their previous game and they really lost the game in that half. They made a big comeback in the 3rd quarter, erasing a 10+ point deficit to even take the lead, but once the Celtics got going again in the 4th quarter there was no keeping up for the Warriors. The last thing they want to do now is go back home down 3-1 in the series on the brink of elimination knowing they still need a road win in this series to win the Championship. I expect them to give their best effort in this game to ensure that doesn't happen again and after that 1st quarter in their previous game, I'm expecting them to be a lot better early in this game since their play in that quarter was such a setback for them in the previous game. The Warriors still looked good in half of that game and I expect them to have a better offensive effort here. They didn't produce a lot offense in the previous game since they were missing shots early but I expect them to play with more defensive intensity and make more of those shots early in this game. I can't see the Warriors going down 3-1 in the series here with the players they have on that team and I expect the experience of the warriors to really kick in this game and take control from the start. I'm expecting a very dominant performance from the Warriors in this game and I think they can even win this game to even up the series. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-102 Warriors. |

06-05-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -4 | Top | 88-107 | Win | 100 | 10 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Sunday. The Warriors are down 1-0 in this series after losing their 1st home game of this postseason. I still think they looked really good for a majority of that game though, and they were dominating the Celtics up to the 4th quarter. They had a 12 point lead going in and came out with a 12 point loss but other than that 1 bad quarter where they blew the game and let it get away from them, I still think they looked great and were the better team. I expect them to bounce back with a much better effort in this game and I expect to see them even up the series at 1 here. The Celtics did look really good in that game too but Tatum didn't have a good game at all, missing a lot of his shots but I also think the Warriors gave a good defensive effort to shut him down in that game and I expect to see the same thing here tonight. I can't see the Warriors going down 2-0 on their own court here and having to go back to Boston in a huge hole. Some of the Warriors players have even came out and said that they weren't fully focused in that game but I expect their focus to be on this game and I don't see the Warriors leaving this game without a win. The Warriors have been dominant this whole postseason losing their only home game in the previous game but the Warriors didn't play in a single 7 game series this postseason either, unlike the Celtics who have to play 7 games in their previous 2 series. I think that fatigue is going to catch up to them and I'm not going to count the Warriors out here after 1 bad quarter on their own court. This is a bounce back game for the Warriors here, I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 116-106 Warriors. |

06-02-22 | Celtics v. Warriors -3.5 | Top | 120-108 | Loss | -110 | 34 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Thursday. The Warriors have looked great in this postseason, they have won 2/3 of their series in 5 games and the other in 6 games. The Celtics have looked really good in some games this postseason too but there has also been other games that they haven't looked good at all in, getting blown out by 10+ points in those games and they have had 2/3 of their series go 7 games too. I think the fatigue is going to start settling in for the Celtics a bit and I expect the Warriors to really turn on the jets here with the championship being so close now. The Warriors have looked really good in their home games too, they haven't lost a home game in this postseason at all yet. I expect that to be the same here and with such a low spread here, I expect this game to be dominated by the Warriors on their home floor right from the start. The Warriors have even won a majority of their home games in this postseason by 10+ points and they have looked really good with both their offensive and defensive effort in their games. The Celtics haven't looked great in game 1's either, they won their 1st game in the 1st round when they swept the Nets but lost both game 1's against the Bucks and the Heat in their 2 previous rounds. I think the Warriors just have better players here and they were dominating the NBA all throughout the regular season while still missing Klay in their starting rotation. I think their team is a lot deeper too and I expect them to set the tone in this series with a huge win on their home court here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-101 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Friday. The Heat are really banged up for this game but they were also banged up in their previous game and they still looked really good in the 1st half. They stayed in that game and were even leading for a majority of the 1st half but things started to fall apart for them in the 2nd half. That game was really defensive though and I think that the Heat are going to have to play with that same defensive effort here to try and win this road game and stay alive. The Heat may not win this game to stay alive but I think they can cover the spread here with a great defensive effort and keep this game close enough to still give themselves a chance to win it. The Celtics are also a bit banged up for this game and I think that will help the Heat put up more points on them to stay close in this game. The Heat are going to be desperate here facing elimination and I expect them to bring everything they have here. They are still the 1st seed in the East and they aren't going to go down here without a fight. This game is too important for them to just give up and get blown out by 20+ points so I expect to see their best effort here from the Heat. Defense was what they leaned on all year with incredible defensive play and I expect that defensive effort to show up here and keep them in this game. I like the Heat to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 95-91 Celtics. |

T.M. Selection: Miami Heat. I like the Miami Heat to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Wednesday. The series here is all tied up at 2 and the Heat have been alternating between wins and losses in this series. They just lost their most recent game and didn't look great in that game but each game of this series has been so lopsided and I think this will be a game that the Heat dominate and win in here on their home court. They have looked great in their home games this postseason, they did lose on their home court earlier this series in the 2nd game but that was their 1st home loss this postseason and I think they are going to bounce back after their previous game and put up a dominant performance here. The Heat have also never trailed once in a series in this postseason and I think that is going to continue here with the Heat taking a series lead on their home court here. Jimmy Butler was nowhere to be found in their previous game and really, none of the players on their starting rotation put a good effort in that game since they were all shut down by the Celtics. I don't think that will happen again here though and I expect Butler to have a much better game here. Lowry has also been contributing in their games with a good defensive effort since coming back but this will also be his 1st game back on home court and I think he is going to have a big game defensively here while his teammates take care of the offense. The Celtics got through the Nets easily in the 1st round but they had a big challenge in the 2nd round kicking out the defending champs and it took them 7 games to do so. I think they are going to start feeling the exhaustion from that series the deeper we get into this one and I expect a good effort from the Heat on their home court here to win this game and take the series lead. I like the Heat to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 104-95 Heat. |

05-20-22 | Mavs v. Warriors -6 | Top | 117-126 | Win | 100 | 10 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Dallas Mavericks in this game on Friday. The Warriors looked really good in the 1st game of this series. They dominated the Mavericks right from the beginning of that game, taking a 10+ point lead by the end of the 1st quarter and hanging on to that lead, outscoring the Mavericks in 3/4 of the quarters in that game. I think the Warriors are hungry for another title this year after the way things have gone for them over the past few years with injury and I don't think they are going to waste this opportunity now that they are so close. They have looked great on their home court in this postseason and I see them having another strong start in this game, dominating it from the beginning again. The Mavericks didn't even put up 100+ points in the 1st game and that has been a bit of a common theme for them in the postseason now. They had 2/3 of their road games in their 1st series against the Jazz where they didn't put up 100+ points and now they have failed to even put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their previous 3 road games. I think the Mavericks are going to struggle in this road game yet again and I expect another great defensive effort from the Warriors here. The Warriors are dangerous because they have great defensive players on their team but they also shoot the 3 really well and I think the Warriors will put the Mavericks in a hole again with that great defense and then extend the gap with their ability from the arc. I see this being another dominant effort from the warriors on their home court here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread. T.M. Prediction: 116-92 Warriors. |

T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Phoenix Suns in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks looked really good in their most recent game against the Suns and I think they are going to put up another great performance in this game. The Mavericks have looked good in a majority of their road games in these playoffs but this has also been a very home dominated series. The Mavericks still put up a good fight back in the 1st game and I think with this being game 7 in the series, they are going to put everything on the line here to try and win this game but I think they will at least keep it close even if they do lose. Doncic had a great game in their previous game and I think he is going to continue that performance into this game and carry his team here. They also did a really good job on defense to contain Booker and Paul in that game and I think they will give the same defensive effort in this game to try and keep it close. All of the games in this series have been dominated by the home team and in most cases, the home team has won every game by 10+ points. I think this game will be a lot different because it is game 7 and I expect a big defensive effort from both teams since that is what will win this game for either side. I don't know if the Mavericks are going to pull this game out here but all the pressure is on the Suns here to win since they finished the regular season with the best record and even broke franchise records themselves, but the pressure is on and I think the Mavericks can keep this game really competitive right up to the end. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 106-103 Suns. |

05-07-22 | Celtics +2 v. Bucks | Top | 101-103 | Push | 0 | 7 h 44 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Milwaukee Bucks in this game on Saturday. The Celtics looked a lot better in the 2nd game of this series, evening it up at 1-1 with a win by 10+ points on their home court. Tatum and Brown both looked great as they led the team in that game and the defensive effort was great too since they were able to contain Giannis and didn't really let the other players on the Bucks contribute to the offense a lot. I think the Celtics are going to play with another great defensive effort here since this game will be a road game in a hostile environment and in the 1st round they actually looked better in their 2 road games. They swept the Nets in 4 games but the 2 games that the Nets were closest to winning were the 2 games in Boston. Once the series got back to Brooklyn, the Celtics really dominated and were in control of both games, taking early leads and never giving them away. I think the Celtics are going to do the same here and try to jump out to an early lead and then sustain that lead with a great defensive effort. The Bucks looked great in their last series too, winning that 4-1 but they actually played better in their road games too. The 1 game they lost to the Bulls was a home game and the 2 wins they got in road games in that series were by much larger margins than their home wins. I think Boston had a bad game in the 1st of this series but now that they have bounced back in their most recent game, I expect them to turn the jets on here and dominate this game. They know they have to steal a road game back now to win the series and I think this is a game they can win. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 101-94 Celtics. |

04-28-22 | 76ers v. Raptors +1.5 | Top | 132-97 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Toronto Raptors. I like the Toronto Raptors to cover the spread against the Philadelphia 76ers in this game on Thursday. The Raptors were down 3-0 in this series at one point but the series is 3-2 now and they have made their way back in it after stealing a road game from the 76ers in their most recent game. The Raptors went into Philly in game 5 and they didn't just win that game, they dominated it. They jumped out to a very early lead and they never really looked back, hanging onto that lead for the entire game and even growing it more with the final score being a win by 15 points. They held the 76ers to 88 points on their own floor and their defensive effort was great in that game. I think they are going to have the same defensive intensity that they have had in their previous 2 games and I think they are going to shut down the offense of the 76ers. The Raptors even beat the 76ers in Philly without VanVleet in the lineup and I think they can repeat it here on their home court. Embiid hasn't been the same player in this series since sustaining his thumb injury and Harden has been called out by Embiid for not picking up the slack in their games. I think Harden still feels uncomfortable playing his game on the court with the 76ers and I think that is going to be their downfall in this game. The crowd is going to be energized for this game too and I think the Raptors will be able to feed off of that all night. I think this series is getting tied up here and going back to Philly for game 7. I like the Raptors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 106-99 Raptors. |

04-27-22 | Nuggets v. Warriors -8 | Top | 98-102 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Denver Nuggets in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors just lost their most recent game to the Nuggets, dropping their 1st game in this series but they are back on their home court here and I think they can close out the series here. The Warriors were able to take 1 of the games in Denver in this series and it was a really close game with the Warriors only winning by 5 points but the 1st 2 games that were back at home for the Warriors were not even close games at all. The Warriors won both of those games by 15+ points and I think this game is lining up for another 10+ point win over the Nuggets here. The Warriors lost their previous game in this series but they didn't look bad at all in that game and they were still on fire despite losing. Curry has had a huge impact in every game and the previous game was the 1st in this series that both he and Thompson each put up 30+ points in the game. They have looked great in all of their games lately and I think they are only going to get better throughout the postseason now that they are hot. Nikola Jokic also looked great in that game almost posting 40+ points himself but he only had 2 other teammates with 20+ points in that game and only 5 of their players even hit 10+ points at all. That isn't going to enough to beat the Warriors and their task just got a whole lot taller with this game being a road game for them. I think the Warriors are going to overpower the Nuggets here taking the game over and I expect the Nuggets to fizzle out of the postseason here. I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 124-108 Warriors. |

04-23-22 | Celtics v. Nets -2.5 | Top | 109-103 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Brooklyn Nets. I like the Brooklyn Nets to cover the spread against the Boston Celtics in this game on Saturday. The Nets have lost 2 games in a row now going down 2-0 in this series but they haven't looked bad in their games either. They were really close to winning the 1st game but lost by 1 point on a very nice play by the Celtics to end the game with a buzzer beater. The 2nd game they were even closer to winning as they maintained a 10+ point lead for a good majority of that game but blew it late and ended up losing the game. The Nets haven't been great on their home court this year but they also played a majority of their home games with no Kyrie Irving and now that he is allowed to play on their home court once again, I think they are going to look a lot better here and I expect them to steal a game back from the Celtics here. The Nets still looked great in those 2 games and they were in both of them with a chance to win all game. I think they can finally get a win here and I expect Durant and Irving to have another huge night on offense, but also with their defensive effort too. Irving wasn't too involved in their most recent game but I think he will have more offensive contribution in this game and I expect him and Durant to lead this team to a victory here. I like the Nets to cover the spread here and cut the series lead in half. T.M. Prediction: 117-110 Nets. |

04-17-22 | Nets v. Celtics OVER 223.5 | Top | 114-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Nets/Celtics OVER. I am on the over in the Brooklyn Nets vs Boston Celtics game on Sunday. The Nets have looked really good in their games lately and they have had a lot of high scoring affairs too. There has been 220+ total points in 3 games in a row for them now and I think this will be another high scoring game. The Nets haven't really looked good on the defensive end this year and I expect this to be another game that they give up a lot of points in. I think Tatum and Brown are playing too well at the moment and I don't see Durant stopping them that easily with his defensive effort here. He looked good with his defensive effort against the Cavs but they still gave up 108 points in that game and the Celtics have a much stronger scoring offense for them to stop here. I expect the Celtics to put up points here and I think the Nets are going to have to put up a ton of points themselves to keep up with the Celtics in this game. The Celtics have also looked really good lately and they have been really good in their home games. They have had 230+ total points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and they put up 120+ points themselves in 4 of those games, including their 2 most recent games. Their defensive effort hasn't been that great either and they have given up 100+ points in 7/8 of their previous 8 games. I expect this offense to score with Tatum and Brown playing the way they have been but Durant and Irving have also been hot and I think they will have no issues putting up points with the way the Celtics have looked on defense too. I'm expecting a high scoring game here with a ton of points from both teams, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 122-118 Celtics. |

04-09-22 | Kings v. Clippers -11 | Top | 98-117 | Win | 100 | 15 h 55 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Clippers. I like the LA Clippers to cover the spread against the Sacramento Kings in this game on Saturday. The Clippers have looked good in their games lately and they are getting very hot right as the playoffs are about to begin. They have won 3 games in a row and a majority of those wins were by 10+ points. They just a won a home game against the Suns and they also have wins over the Pelicans by 19 and the Bucks by 30+ points in a road game where they scored 150+ points. The Clippers still have 2 games left but they have already guaranteed themselves a game in the play-in tournament against the T-Wolves. I think the Clippers are going to have another great game on their home court here and I think they are going to use this game to stay hot going into the playoffs. The Kings haven't looked great lately so this game will be a great momentum booster if they can continue to win and launch themselves into the play-in tournament on a winning run. The 3 most recent losses for the Kings were all by 14+ points and the only 2 wins they have in between are both wins over the Rockets who are poised to finish as the worst team in the West. Paul George already missed a lot of the season due to injury so I expect them to play him in this game and a good amount of minutes too so he can get warmed up and get into his groove for the important games. I like the Clippers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 123-100 Clippers. |

04-04-22 | North Carolina v. Kansas OVER 153 | Top | 69-72 | Loss | -110 | 38 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/Kansas OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs Kansas game on Monday. UNC has looked good in this tournament so far, knocking off some really good opposing teams this year and they have been putting up a ton of points in the process. They have won 5 games in a row in this tournament and they have knocked off the 2nd seeded Duke, 4th seeded UCLA, and 1st seeded Baylor. I think they are going to continue on their hot streak here in the finals and I expect their offense to be on point like it has been throughout the entire tournament. They have put up 90+ points 2 times in their 5 games, 1 of those times was against the 1st seeded Baylor, and they just put up 80+ points in their most recent game against Duke in the final four. They have been able to hold down the offenses of the lower seeded teams in their games, keeping a few of them at low scores, but they struggled on the defensive end in their 2 games against the 2nd seeded and 1st seeded teams they faced. I think UNC is also going to struggle to keep Kansas off the board here and they are going to have to resort to their offense to keep up with Kansas in this game. Kansas has looked really good on defense in their games lately and they just held Villanova to 65 points in their most recent game but Kansas still managed to put up 80+ points in that game. As a 1st seeded team, Kansas hasn't had to face a lot of really good teams on their journey to this game and UNC is probably the best team they will have faced, other than Villanova. Villanova was a very defensive team though and UNC is the opposite focusing more on their offense in games and putting up a ton of points in those games. I think Kansas is going to struggle on the defensive end here to keep UNC off the board and I expect them to put up more offense to keep UNC down in this game. Kansas has also been really hot from the 3 lately and I think that is going to help surge them into a bigger lead which will force UNC to put up more offense to make a comeback. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-79 Kansas. |

04-03-22 | Pistons v. Pacers -2 | Top | 121-117 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Indiana Pacers. I like the Indiana Pacers to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Sunday. The Pacers have looked terrible lately losing 6 games in a row now but I think they are due for a bounce back on their home court here and they haven't even been that terrible in their 2 most recent games either. They still lost their 2 most recent games but they kept those games a lot closer and I think they can take advantage of a team that is lower than they are in the standings and break out of their funk lately. They lost a game on their home court to the Nuggets by 7 points but that is not bad considering they were down by 25 points early in that game. Then in their most recent game, they lost in a road game to the Celtics but only by 5 points and they were hanging in tightly in that game. The Pacers have also played 5 games in a row against teams that will be featured in the playoffs this year while the Pistons will not be and they are actually the 2nd last team in the East. I think this is a good spot for the Pacers to bounce back in and get a win on their home court. The Pistons have won 2 games in a row and they have been playing a lot better toward the end of the year here but that good play lately has dropped off a bit and I think they are going to stumble now with a tough schedule to end the year. Despite winning 2 games in a row, the Pistons have still lost a majority of their previous 8 games and they haven't looked great in road games either with a good number of their losses lately coming in road games. I think this is a good bounce back spot for the Pacers here. I like the Pacers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Pacers. |

04-02-22 | North Carolina v. Duke -3.5 | Top | 81-77 | Loss | -116 | 63 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Duke. I like Duke to cover the spread in this game against UNC on Saturday. Duke has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been getting better and better as the tournament goes on. They have already knocked off 2 good teams in their 2 most recent games, winning against Arkansas and Texas Tech. Both were teams that looked really good on defense going into their games against Duke and they both came out losing in the end as Duke turned it up a notch in the final minutes of both games. They really had their foot down on Arkansas for that entire game and they went into the half with a 12 point lead, completely dominating that game from start to finish. UNC has also looked really good in their games lately, knocking off some big teams too like Baylor and UCLA. They took out Saint Peter's in their most recent game and that was a game that they dominated from the start, taking a 20 point lead into the half and winning by 20 points in the end. UNC has looked good in these games but they also haven't had the toughest path to this game either. Baylor was their toughest challenge while UCLA was already struggling coming into the tournament and they even caught a huge break in the Elite 8 with Saint Peter's, even though Saint Peter's was playing very well they were still a 15th seed and made it very easy on UNC to win that previous game. There has been a lot of emotions with this Duke team this year since it is the last season for Coach K and the team would like to send him into retirement with 1 more national title under his belt. I think the Duke players are going to be very motivated in this game with the championship game within reach now, and they already let UNC ruin the final home game for Coach K ever since they had a 10+ point lead in that game and managed to blow it, losing by 13 points on their home court to their own rival. I think they are still going to be fuming from that game and I expect them to give their best performance of the tournament here to boost their team into the finals. I think Duke is the better team here and I think they have the motivation and momentum to dominate in this game. I like Duke to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 84-74 Duke. |

03-27-22 | Wolves v. Celtics -6 | Top | 112-134 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Minnesota Timberwolves in this game on Sunday. The Celtics have looked really good in their games lately and I think they are going to continue on their run here and win another game on their home court. They have won 5 games in a row now and they have been destroying the opposing teams in those games winning most of them by 10+ points. The Celtics have really stepped up in their home games lately too and they have won 5/6 of their previous 6 home games. They have faced some bad teams on their current run but they also have wins over the Warriors, Nuggets, and Jazz who are all very good teams in the West and the Celtics didn't just win those games but they destroyed those teams by 20+ points in every game. Jayson Tatum has been really hot in their games and he is a big reason why they have been playing so well but lately they have been getting a bigger offensive contribution from Jaylen Brown and with both of these scorers playing really hot, the Celtics are almost impossible to stop at the moment. The Celtics have won 5 games in a row and Brown has had 20+ points in all of those games along with Tatum's effort too. The Timberwolves have also looked really good lately and they just won their most recent game over the Mavericks by 20+ points on their home court but they had 2 lost games in a row before that win and they even had a lead by 10+ points late into 1 of those games before losing it by almost 10 points themselves. The T-wolves have looked great in their games and they have become 1 of the stronger teams in the West this year with how well they have played but they are still a team that is coming around and is not quite there yet while the Celtics look like a team that is ready to win a championship right now. I think the Celtics have been really hot and I don't see the T-wolves ending their run here. I like the Celtics to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 118-104 Celtics. |

03-27-22 | St. Peter's v. North Carolina OVER 136.5 | Top | 49-69 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 59 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Saint Peter's/UNC OVER. I am on the over in the Saint Peter's vs UNC game on Sunday. Saint Peter's has looked really good in their games lately and they have made it to the elite 8 as a 15th seeded team for the 1st time in NCAA history. They have put together a great run that has shown off their great defensive effort but not every one of their games are won like that and they have had to put up a ton of points in a few of their games already to compete and stay alive in this tournament. In the round of 64 they put up 85 points to take Kentucky out in OT and in the round of 32 they put up 70 points to upset Murray State too. Their most recent game only had a total of 131 points in it but they were playing Purdue in that game who is a more defensive team than some of what they have seen so far but UNC is definitely not a defensive team and I think Saint Peter's is going to have to put up more points here just to keep up with them. They have the story and the cinderella magic behind them though and I expect them to use that momentum to put up a good fight here and keep this game close like they have been in every game they have played in this tournament. UNC has also looked good lately in their games, they are a much higher seed at 8th so their run hasn't been as special as Saint Peter's has but UNC has still taken down some very good teams and have upset the opposing team in their 2 most recent games. They have put up 90+ points in 2/3 of their 3 games in this tournament and they still put up 70+ points in their most recent game. I don't think Saint Peter's defensive effort will be able to hold down the offense of UNC for too long so I expect Saint Peter's to put up points here to keep up. UNC hasn't held any teams to less than 60 points in the tournament this year and I think Peter's won't have a tough time trying to put up their own points here. I expect a ton of scoring from both here, I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 77-72 UNC. |

03-25-22 | North Carolina v. UCLA OVER 141.5 | Top | 73-66 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UNC/UCLA OVER. I am on the over in the UNC vs UCLA game on Friday. UCLA has been putting up a lot of points in their games lately but they are also the kind of team that has played up and has played down to their level of competition all year. They put up 70+ points in their most recent game, blowing out Saint Mary's as UCLA finally found their groove in the tournament. They won their game in the round of 64 by only 4 points though and they only put up 57 points in that game since they held Akron to 53. This has happened before though and even in their conference tournament final this year, UCLA lost 84-76 to Arizona and that was a game that they were leading in the 1st half and then had multiple lead changes in the 2nd half. I think UCLA looked a lot better in the round of 32 and now that they have the taste of the sweet 16 in their mouth, I expect them to put up a lot of points here and try to keep themselves alive. UNC has looked really good lately too and they just knocked out the 1st seed Baylor in their most recent game. They have been putting up a lot of points in their games too, putting up 90+ points in both of their games in the NCAA tournament so far. UNC has looked great on offense and I think this will be another game where they come out hot and try to put up a lot of points. I expect UCLA will match their energy and put up a lot of points themselves to match UNC but UNC hasn't looked good on the defensive end in their games and letting Baylor come back from 20+ points in their previous game really exposed that. I think that the lack of defense by UNC will be the difference here and I think UCLA will take control at some point causing UNC to put up more points to keep up. Either way, I see this game having a ton of points in it from both teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 83-77 UCLA. |

03-25-22 | Mavs v. Wolves OVER 227.5 | Top | 95-116 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 24 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Mavericks/Timberwolves OVER. I am on the over in the Dallas Mavericks vs Minnesota Timberwolves game on Friday. The Mavericks have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately. They have put up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and their 2 most recent games they actually put up 110+ points in both. They haven't looked good on the defensive end lately though and I think the T-wolves will have no issues putting up the points on them. The Mavs have given up 100+ points in 4/5 of their previous 5 games and most of those games they gave up 110+ points in. The T-wolves have looked really good themselves lately and I think they will have a big offensive night here. The Timberwolves have lost 2 games in a row now and I think they will be looking for a bounce back win here badly. They just lost their most recent game to the Suns by 9 on their own home court and they even had a 10+ point lead themselves for a lot of that game. Their other loss came to the Mavs in Dallas the other night and they lost a really close game to them by 2 points. I think the T-wolves will want to get that game back here but they don't really play hard on the defensive end either so I see both teams putting up a ton of points in this game to outscore the other and win the game that way. Their previous meeting was a very close game in the end and I expect this game to be very similar in competitiveness but I see there being a lot more points with the T-wolves being on their home court here. The T-wolves have put up 100+ points in 15 games in a row but a lot of those games were games where they were scoring 120+ and even 130+ points themselves. Both of these teams are strong on offense but don't give a good defensive effort in their games. I see this being high scoring so I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 133-128 Timberwolves. |

03-19-22 | New Mexico State +6.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 48-53 | Win | 100 | 16 h 2 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New Mexico State. I like New Mexico State to cover the spread against Arkansas in this game on Saturday. New Mexico State has been rolling lately with 4 wins in a row and they started their tournament off on the right foot with a huge upset win over UConn in the 1st round. They were in total control of that game since they had a 10 point lead by halftime and they hung on to it the whole game, going on to win by 7 points. I think New Mexico State has a lot of momentum on their side here and I didn't like how Arkansas looked in their 1st round game either. Arkansas snuck out of their 1st round game with a 4 point win over Vermont who is a really good team but they are still seeded 13th for a reason and I thought Arkansas should have won that game by more. New Mexico State already has 1 upset under their belt and it's not like they are facing a powerhouse team that is top 10 in the country. Arkansas even ended their year off in the regular season with a loss and 2 very close wins by less than 3 points on both occasions. They got destroyed in their SEC tournament, losing to Texas A&M by almost 20 points and Texas A&M didn't even get a bid to this tournament. I think Arkansas is going to struggle to separate themselves from New Mexico State here and I think New Mexico State has the potential to even pull off another upset here. I think New Mexico State will keep this game close so I like them to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-68 New Mexico State. |

03-19-22 | Mavs -1.5 v. Hornets | Top | 108-129 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the Charlotte Hornets in this game on Saturday. The Mavericks have looked really good in their games lately but they just tripped up in their most recent game with a loss in Philly to the 76ers by 10 points. They had won 3 games in a row before that loss and they even had 8/9 wins in their previous 9 games before that loss too. I think they have been playing at a very high level lately and they have been building up big runs over the last few weeks, trying to get themselves in a better position for the playoffs. This is a team that is destined for the playoffs this year and I expect them to get a bounce back win in this game. The Hornets have not been having a great year and they are barely on the cusp of making the playoffs as they hold down the 10th place spot at the moment. The Hornets have looked better lately with 3 wins in a row but their 3 wins have been against much weaker teams than what the Mavericks have seen lately and before they won 3 games in a row they actually lost 2 games in a row to teams that the Mavericks have just beaten. I'm not saying that the Mavericks are going to win this game because of that, that's not the case, but there is a significant difference in talent between these 2 teams and I expect the Mavericks to get the job done here as long as their star Luka Doncic is on the court, which he will be. Doncic has been getting a lot of offensive help from his teammates lately too and I think this is a better Mavericks team than the one that Doncic was carrying them in every game. They have become a more rounded team now as the season winds down and I expect them to win this game with no issues. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 124-116 Mavericks. |

03-18-22 | Colgate +7.5 v. Wisconsin | Top | 60-67 | Win | 100 | 19 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Colgate. I like Colgate to cover the spread against Wisconsin in this game on Friday. Colgate has looked good lately and I think they can upset Wisconsin here and move on to the next round. They have won 15 games in a row and lately they have been winning by a lot of points in their games. They just won their conference tournament with 3 wins and all of them were by 10+ points and even 20+ points in some games. They have also put up 70+ points in 5 games in a row but this is a common occurrence for them this year. I think they will be able to keep up with Wisconsin in this game and I expect them to take the lead and hang on to it with their offense. Wisconsin may be a 3 seed in this tournament but they haven't looked like one in their games lately and I think Colgate will get the best of them here. Wisconsin has lost 2 games in a row now with 1 being in their 1st game of their conference tournament to Michigan State but their other loss was to Nebraska in their final game of the regular season and Nebraska was the worst team in the Big 10 this year. Even before those 2 losses, their previous 3 games before that were shaky wins by 3 over Purdue, a win by 5 over Rutgers, and a win by 1 point over Minnesota who was also 1 of the worst teams in the conference this year. I think Wisconsin has been slipping near the end of the year here and I don't expect them to go very far in this tournament. Even if they manage to win this game Colgate will cover the spread but I think with how Wisconsin has looked lately, Colgate can upset and win this game. I like Colgate to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 74-71 Colgate. |

03-16-22 | Notre Dame v. Rutgers +1.5 | Top | 89-87 | Loss | -110 | 41 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread against Notre Dame in this game on Wednesday. Rutgers has been really hot toward the end of the year and I think they can win this game with how good they have looked lately. They had a very early exit in their conference tournament, losing in their 1st game but they did lose to Iowa who went on to win the whole thing. They finished their regular season with 2 wins in a row but they also had a very impressive resume to get to this game with wins over teams like Illinois, Ohio State, Michigan State, and they even beat Wisconsin in a road game. Those 4 wins marked the 1st time in NCAA history that an unranked team beat 4 ranked teams in a row and I think Rutgers still has a lot to prove in this tournament. Rutgers also plays a very good game on the defensive end of the court and I think their defensive play will be a key part in them winning this game. Before their loss to Iowa, they had not given up 70+ points in 3 games in a row and I think they are going to shut down Notre Dame in this game too. Notre Dame also exited their 1st game of the ACC tournament with a loss to Virginia Tech who also went on to win the whole thing but they gave up 87 points in that game and that has been a common theme for them this year since they have been giving up 70+ points in a majority of their games this year. Notre Dame has looked good in their games but they haven't really had a tougher schedule lately and I think Rutgers had to go through a lot of better teams in their conference to get here than Notre Dame did with a lot more bad teams in their larger conference. I think Rutgers has been very hot and I expect their coach to have them ready for this game since he has been turning this program around all year. Notre Dame likes to put up a lot of points in their games but I don't think they will be able to do so here with that great defensive play from Rutgers. I like Rutgers to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 74-66 Rutgers. |

03-13-22 | Iowa v. Purdue OVER 148.5 | Top | 75-66 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa/Purdue OVER. I am on the over in the Iowa vs Purdue game on Sunday. Iowa has been a very high scoring team all year averaging 80+ points per game this year but they have had a lot of points put up against them too since they have been giving up 70+ points per game. They have won 3 games in a row now in this tourney and they have been really hot in their games, putting up 80+ points in all 3 of them. They have also been giving up 74+ points in all of those games but this has been a common theme for them all year and it goes back during the regular season too. Iowa really fought hard in their most recent game too, there were multiple occasions where they were down big but they kept pushing their offense and Keegan Murray ended up having a huge day. He put up 30+ points himself and his 3-pointers is what was keeping them in that game. Iowa has been shooting great in their games too and I think they are going to keep that up in this game too. Purdue hasn't been putting up as much points as Iowa has been in their games lately but I think Purdue is the better team here and I don't think their defense will be good enough to stop Iowa here. I expect Purdue to match Iowa on offense in this game since Iowa loves to hit the 3's and this could turn into a huge shootout. Despite the fact that Purdue hasn't put up a lot of points in their games lately, they actually average 80+ points per game and are giving up 65+ points per game. Purdue can put up a ton of points when they need to and I think this is going to be 1 of those games where they will have to outscore the opposing team to win. I expect a lot of points in this game, I like the over here. T.M. Prediction: 84-80 Purdue. |

03-12-22 | Wizards v. Blazers +6 | Top | 118-127 | Win | 100 | 13 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to cover the spread against the Washington Wizards in this game on Saturday. The Trail Blazers have looked terrible in their games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games and getting absolutely dismantled in all of them. They have lost 6 games in a row now by 10+ points and they didn't even put up 90+ points in their 2 most recent games. They have played their 3 most recent games in road games though and will be back on their home court here. I think they are going to play a lot better being back on their home court since they have a lot of young players and non-starters playing in this game. Their 2 most recent games were really embarrassing so I expect these players to show some pride in this game at least and put up a better performance here on their home floor. They are getting a bit of a break too since Bradley Beal is out and he is the Wizards star player. The Wizards have already looked terrible in the 2nd half of this year but they have looked even worse in their games without Beal. The Wizards have lost 2 games in a row now and they just lost their most recent game by 10+ points to the Lakers, the Lakers have been riddled with a bunch of their own issues this year too. I think the Trail Blazers have to respond better in this game to their previous few losses and I expect them to take advantage of a weaker Wizards team on their home court here. I like the Trail Blazers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 111-106 Trail Blazers. |

03-12-22 | UCLA v. Arizona -1 | Top | 76-84 | Win | 100 | 12 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Arizona. I like Arizona to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Saturday. Arizona has looked really good in their games lately and they have been on a huge run in their games as of late. They have won 5 games in a row but they have been destroying the opposing teams in their games. All but 1 of their previous 5 wins have been by 10+ points and they just won by 10 over Colorado too who had been playing great up to that game. Arizona is ranked the 2nd best team in the country and they only have 3 losses all year. They have won 5 games in a row, most by 10+ points, and they have put up 80+ points in all of their games too. That is a normal occurrence for them since their offense is very strong and I expect them to put up a ton of points in this game too and just outscore UCLA like they do with most teams. Despite scoring so many points in their games, they actually don't give up nearly as many points either as they have only given up 75+ points lately. UCLA has also looked good winning 4 games in a row now but they haven't been putting up as many points as Arizona has been and I think Arizona can outscore them in this game. Arizona has been 1 of the best teams in the country all year but they barely get any recognition and no one seems to talk about them as much as some of the other teams. Even UCLA gets talked about more and they have had their ups and downs this year while finishing 2nd to Arizona in the Pac-12. I think Arizona is going to be playing this game with a chip on their shoulder and they look to be on a mission at the moment to win the Pac-12 tournament. I like Arizona to cover the spread in this game and win it all. T.M. Prediction: 85-78 Arizona. |

03-05-22 | Texas v. Kansas UNDER 138 | Top | 63-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas/Kansas UNDER. I am on the under in the Texas vs Kansas game on Saturday. I expect this to be a low scoring game since both of these teams play well on the defensive end of the court. Texas has scored a variety of different point ranges in their games this year but on offense they only average less than 70 points per game. They don't need to put up a lot of points in their games though since they give a great defensive effort and they have been giving up less than 60 points per game this year. Lately, they've been letting their games get a bit out of hand but they still have 2 games in their previous 4 where neither team put up 70+ points in the game, and both of those games were their 2 most recent games against another ranked opposing team. They just lost on their home court in their most recent game 68-61 to Baylor, and the other was a loss on their home court to Texas Tech where they lost 61-55. The previous time they met with Kansas, they won on their home court in a higher scoring 79-76 game. I don't think they will put up as many points in this road game though and I expect Kansas to dictate play a bit more in this game. Kansas will be seeking revenge for that loss earlier this year and I think they will play with some extra motivation to win here. I also think that with that extra motivation to play here will come a very good defensive effort on their part and I think they can force some turnovers in this game. Kansas, just like Texas, plays great on the defensive end but they have been giving up more points than Texas while also scoring more points than them. I think Kansas won't be able to put up a ton of points in this game with Texas' defensive effort but I also think Kansas will give their own defensive effort to win this game and I really think Texas will struggle in this road game to put up points since they have not been great in road games this year. I expect this to be a low scoring game, I like the under here. T.M. Prediction: 66-60 Kansas. |

03-04-22 | Bucks v. Bulls OVER 238 | Top | 118-112 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 58 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Bulls OVER. I am on the over in the Milwaukee Bucks vs Chicago Bulls game on Friday. The Bucks have been putting up a ton of points in their games lately and they have been starting to look a lot better in their games too. They have won 2 games in a row now and they have put up 120+ points in 5 games in a row. They have been scoring a lot in their games for a while now, they have consistently put up 100+ points in 13 games in a row and 9 of those games they put up 120+ points in. They have been a scoring machine lately and considering that the Bulls are the team that lead their division at the moment, I expect the Bucks to come in full force here. Even though they have been putting up a lot of points in their games, their defensive effort is really the reason why. The Bucks lack a huge defensive presence on the floor so they have to keep putting up the points in their games to keep up with the other team or to keep ahead in the game since they really don't play defense at all. They have given up 100+ points in 10 games in a row and again, in a lot of those games they were giving up 120+ points to the opposing team. The Bulls have also been a team that is putting up a ton of points lately. They have put up 100+ points in 17/18 of their previous 18 games but again, with a lot of those games they have been putting up 120+ points. The Bulls have been no slouch this year and they defend their home court really well. These 2 teams are fighting for the 1st place spot in the Central Division and I expect the Bulls to put up a very good challenge for the Bucks here. Neither of these teams have really been giving a good effort on defense in their games but they both put up a ton of points. I expect this to be another game where neither team really gives a good effort on defense and I expect both teams to keep driving the score up with each other, looking to put up more and more points all night. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-124 Bucks. |

02-27-22 | Connecticut -11 v. Georgetown | Top | 86-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UConn. I like UConn to cover the spread against Georgetown in this game on Sunday. UConn has looked really good in their games lately and I think they have been building up some momentum in their games which should continue into this game and give a boost to their play. They have won 4 games in a row and they just beat Villanova who has been hot lately and is ranked 8th in the country at the moment. I think UConn is going to keep playing well here and I expect a huge win from them here. Georgetown has been terrible in conference play this year at 0-16 and I think they aren't even going to win a game at all now with only a few games left. This is their final home game of the year too and they are below .500 on their home court this year at 6-10. UConn hasn't been great in road games this year, but they are still even in those games and they have been dominating their conference play for most of the year too. They are really hot at the moment and have been rolling over teams lately, I expect them to do the same here. Georgetown hasn't just been losing a lot of games lately, they have been losing a lot of their games by 10+ points and I think they are going to struggle to keep up with UConn here. UConn has looked a lot better on the defensive end of the court lately. They haven't given up 70+ points to 4 opposing teams in a row and I think they will continue here. Georgetown hasn't put up 70+ points in 3 games in a row but they have given up 70+ and even 80+ points in most of their games in conference play this year. This is the final stretch for UConn and they need to focus here in these last few games and win them all. I think they have the momentum on their side with how they have looked lately and after that huge win over Villanova, I expect them to just blow Georgetown away here. I like UConn to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 82-66 UConn. |

02-26-22 | Kansas v. Baylor UNDER 149.5 | Top | 70-80 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Kansas/Baylor UNDER. I am on the under in the Kansas vs Baylor game on Saturday. Kansas has looked really good lately with 4 wins in a row now but they have been giving a really good effort on defense in a lot of their games. I think Kansas will give a good defensive effort in this game too since the team they are playing is right on their tail for 1st place in their conference. Kansas just won their most recent game 102-83 but the games they played before that win were much lower in score. They didn't give up 70+ points to any opposing teams for 3 games in a row before their most recent win, and they haven't given up 70+ points in 5/7 of their previous 7 games. In their previous meeting this year, Kansas only gave up 59 points to Baylor and I think they can play with that kind of defensive intensity again in this game. I expect Baylor to also play a lot better on defense in this game too. They gave up 83 points in that 1st meeting against Kansas and I think they will play harder on defense and give a better effort so that doesn't happen again. They are also on their home court here, they have been a lot better on their home court this year and I think they will have an easier time getting the stops in this game. This is also an important game for both teams, Baylor is behind Kansas in conference play this year and Baylor would need Kansas to lose at least 2 games or they can't catch up. Baylor has a chance to deliver 1 of those losses here and I think they will play more cautious and give that extra effort on defense to get stops considering they were embarrassed by Kansas last time. I think both teams will have a good defensive effort in this game and I expect it to be a lower scoring game. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 69-66 Baylor. |

02-26-22 | Celtics -10.5 v. Pistons | Top | 113-104 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 40 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics. I like the Boston Celtics to cover the spread against the Detroit Pistons in this game on Saturday. The Celtics just won their most recent game over the Nets and they blew them out by 20+ points in their 1st game back from the All Star break. The Celtics were really hot before the break and they have looked great with wins in 11/12 of their previous 12 games. The 1 loss that they suffered during that time was actually to the Pistons in a home game right before the All Star break started. That loss in the only tainted game in what has been an incredible run for them lately and I think that loss is still going to be fresh in their minds here. I think the Celtics will want to get that game back here and I don't think they are going to take the Pistons lightly here either since they have now won 2 games in a row. They even won both of those games over some very good opposing teams, the Cavaliers being their other win. Both of those wins were also by less than 3 points in both games and I think the Pistons have gone as far as they can go on this run of theirs. They are still 1 of the worst teams in the East this year at 14-45 and I expect the Celtics to remind them of that in this game. Even though the Celtics aren't on their home court here, they just lost there to the Pistons last week and I think they will view this revenge game as a way to defend their home court and get that win back after a 1 point loss there. The Celtics are also 1 of the few NBA teams that are fully healthy at the moment and I expect the Celtics to continue playing at a very high level while everyone is available. Now that the All Star break has passed, the NBA is in its final stretch of the year and I think the Celtics will be turning on the jets here and start getting into playoff form. I like the Celtics to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 119-97 Celtics. |

02-24-22 | Suns v. Thunder UNDER 216 | Top | 124-104 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Thunder UNDER. I am on the under in the Phoenix Suns vs Oklahoma City Thunder game on Thursday. This is going to be the 1st game back for both of these teams from the All Star break and it has pretty much been about a week since either team played together. I think both teams are going to have a slow start here due to that long layoff and I think it will take some time for both teams to get hot with their shooting again. I think a slow start in this game will set the tone nicely for an under and I also expect there to be a lot more defense in this game than these teams normally play. The Suns are going to be missing Chris Paul in this game and without that contribution to their offense, I expect the Suns to play better on defense and try to make the Thunder miss more shots. The Thunder are getting back their star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander in this game and that is going to add some kick to their rotation. He is their best player and is very dangerous with the ball when he has it in his hands so I expect the Suns to also play more defensively to counter him and try to stop the Thunder more since their offense will be a lot better here. This is also a road game for the Suns and without the crowd on their side here, I think it is even more important for them to bring a great defensive effort in this game since the Thunder will be fired up from having their star back. Just because he is back though, doesn't make the Thunder a good team and since he has been out for so long I think it will take a bit of time for the Thunder to get back into a groove with him on the court. I think this game is going to be played at a slower pace and I think both teams will give a better defensive effort than usual. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 99-90 Suns. |

02-19-22 | Texas Tech v. Texas -3 | Top | 61-55 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 0 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Texas. I like Texas to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Saturday. Texas has won 3/4 games of their previous 4 and they just won their most recent game. They have looked really good at home this year at 15-1 and I think they can get the win over Texas Tech on their home court here. They have won 4 games in a row on their home court and have even won 2 of those over ranked teams. I think Texas has looked really good with their defense lately too and I think they will get some key stops and turnovers here to get the edge in this game. They are giving up less than 60 points per game and I think their defensive play is going to be key for them in winning this game. Texas Tech hasn't been great in road games this year either at 2-5 and I think Texas will get the better of them on their home court here. Texas Tech has won 2 games in a row but both of those wins were at home and their last loss came in a road game by 10+ points. Texas Tech hasn't looked as good as Texas with their defense and I think Texas is going to be able to put up more points on them. Texas also lost in a road game to Texas tech at the beginning of this month so that loss will still be on their mind in this game. I expect Texas to come motivated to play here and I think they can get the win here. I like Texas to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 72-66 Texas. |

02-17-22 | Wizards v. Nets OVER 218 | Top | 117-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 1 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Wizards/Nets OVER. I am on the over in the Washington Wizards vs Brooklyn Nets game on Thursday. The Wizards have been putting up 100+ points in 5 games in a row now and their defensive effort hasn't been that great in those games either since they have given up 100+ points in 4 of those games. They just lost their most recent game to the Pacers who don't have a lot of talent left on their team after being a big seller before the trade deadline passed and I think that loss is rubbing them the wrong way. They are on a B2B here and I think that will help them put that loss in the rear view mirror and focus on the Nets here who have been having their own issues lately. The Wizards made a trade for Kristaps Porzingis to help them with their defense but he is still out with an injury and until he returns I don't see the Wizards playing well on defense and forcing turnovers when they need them. The Nets just won their most recent game making it 2 in a row for them and they were even down by 20+ points in that game before making a comeback and winning over the Knicks. The Nets have been putting up 100+ points in 4 games in a row but their defense has been terrible and it has been a problem for them all year. The Nets have given up 100+ points to every opposing team except for 1 in all of their games going back to December 7. Their defensive effort has been terrible all year and I think the Wizards will be able to put up a ton of points on them here and I expect them to be motivated to win after that loss to the Pacers. It took a lot for the Nets to come back against the Knicks and they are also on a B2B here, I think the Nets will be tired from that Knicks game and I expect the effort they put out on defense to suffer because of it. The Nets will also put up points though since this is a revenge game for them after losing to the Wizards on Feb 10 113-112 and the Wizards have been blowing a lot of leads lately so I don't expect them to have a good effort on defense either. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 124-120 Nets. |

02-10-22 | Murray State -14.5 v. Tennessee State | Top | 73-62 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 11 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Murray State. I like Murray State to cover the spread against Tennessee State in this game on Thursday. Murray State is leading their conference at the moment with a 22-2 record and they are a perfect 12-0 in their conference play this year. They are also 7-1 on the road this year and I think they will be extending that to 8-1 after this game. Murray State has looked really good this year and they are surprisingly the best team in the conference at the moment. They have won 12 games in a row and even though they were all in conference play, they have still played some good teams this year like their win over Belmont who was the favorite to win the conference at the beginning of the year. Murray State was about a 7 point dog in that game and they upset Belmont on the road by 20+ points. They have also won over Tennessee State earlier this year, they played them in a home games and won by 20+ points but I don't see Murray State struggling against them in this road game and I think they are going to repeat what they did to them in that 1st meeting. They just won their most recent game but they had lost 2 in a row before that and they haven't looked good against the really good teams in their conference. Their most recent home game was against Belmont and they lost that game by 20+ points. Belmont is definitely on the same level as Murray State and those 2 teams are the most competitive teams in their conference. Belmont just destroyed Tennessee State in a road game and Murray State did the same thing to Belmont earlier this year. Murray State is leagues above Tennessee State here and I don't see any reason why Murray State won't win this game by 20+ points. I like Murray State to cover the spread here. T.M.

02-09-22 | Warriors +2.5 v. Jazz | Top | 85-111 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Utah Jazz in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have won 9 games in a row and are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. I think the Warriors can upset Utah in this game and take home the win with how good they have looked lately. The Warriors are going to be missing Klay Thompson in this game but they have been destroying teams all year since the start of the season so missing Thompson in this game doesn't really impact the team that heavily since we've seen they can get themselves into this position as the 2nd place team in the West without him. Curry will still be playing though and I think he will be enough to lead his team to a win against the Jazz here. The Jazz have won 3 games in a row and they have looked a lot better lately ever since getting Donovan Mitchell back but they haven't really played a team like the Warriors in their previous 3 games and I think they are going to struggle against them even with Mitchell back in the rotation. The Jazz have won 3 games in a row but none of the teams they played were impressive to win against. During this run, they barely scraped by a Nuggets team without Jokic by 4 points, they beat up on an injured Nets team missing both Durant and Harden, and they won their most recent game at home over the Knicks who have been falling apart for a while now. I think the absence of Rudy Gobert for the Jazz is going to play a large role in them losing this game and I expect the Warriors to clean up on a lot of the rebounds. I think the Warriors have looked a lot better than the Jazz this year and I expect the Jazz to struggle against the Warriors while still missing some star players. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 112-104 Warriors. |

02-03-22 | UCLA +7 v. Arizona | Top | 66-76 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: UCLA. I like UCLA to cover the spread against Arizona in this game on Thursday. UCLA has looked great in a lot of their games this year and they have worked their way back into the 3rd ranked spot in the country. They have been through a lot this year with covid cases and postponed games but they still have a 16-2 record and are clearly 1 of the better teams in the country this year. I think this team is very resilient with what they have gone through while still maintaining a top spot and they have also looked great in their road games this year winning all 5 that they have played in. UCLA has won 6 games in a row and they even have a win over Arizona during that run, beating them at home by 16 points just over a week ago. Arizona didn't put up much of a fight in that game since they were trailing right from the start and I don't think anything is going to change here on their home court. UCLA's coach Cronin has prepared his team well for big road games and hostile environments and I expect UCLA to go in there and still win this game. Arizona has bounced back since losing to UCLA but they have only played the 1 game since then and that game was on Saturday. I think they will come out a bit slow and sluggish here due to the longer layoff between games and I think UCLA can take advantage of them early in this game again. Arizona has been winning a lot of their games lately by 15+ points but they also haven't been playing any tough opposing teams. UCLA has had a lot of experience going into hostile environments and playing against other ranked opposing teams so I think they are better prepared for this game and I expect them to keep it close if they don't win this game themselves. I like UCLA to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 72-67 UCLA. |

02-02-22 | Thunder v. Mavs -11.5 | Top | 120-114 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 37 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Dallas Mavericks. I like the Dallas Mavericks to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder in this game on Wednesday. The Mavericks have looked a lot better in their games lately and they have been winning a lot, working their way up the standing to the 5th place spot in the West. I think now that the Mavericks have gained their footing a bit this year and have started to win a lot of games and go on big runs, I expect them to keep that up and keep winning games to get a good playoff position as the 2nd half of the season starts to wind down. They just lost their most recent game to the Magic on the road by 2 points but they were so close to winning that game and they must be a bit upset over it. I think they will still be angry over that loss since the magic are not a very good team this year and I think they will be looking to take their anger out on the Thunder here by beating on them here on their home court. I think they are due to bounce back in this game and the Mavericks have looked really good at home lately anyway winning 8 of their previous 9 home games. The Thunder have been having a terrible year and they are the 2nd worst team in the West. They are coming off a much needed win in their most recent game but that was their 1st win in 8 games as they ended a 7 game losing skid with that win. Even worse. They only have 2 wins in their previous 14 games and they have looked a lot worse on the road than at home this year. OKC is also still missing their best player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and without him they really have no chance to win at all in their games. They have been hurting badly without him in their lineup and I think they are going to continue to struggle without him again in this game. I think the Mavericks have been getting too hot with how well they are playing and I think they can destroy the Thunder on their home court by 15+ points. I like the Mavericks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 127-104 Mavericks. |

01-28-22 | Wolves v. Suns OVER 230.5 | Top | 124-134 | Win | 100 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Timberwolves/Suns OVER. I am on the over in the Minnesota Timberwolves vs Phoenix Suns game on Friday. The Timberwolves have looked really good lately and they have been putting up a ton of points in their games. They have put up 100+ points in 10 games in a row and 8 of those games they scored 110+ points. They have been putting up a ton of points lately but their defense hasn't looked that good in those games. They have given up 100+ points in 9/10 of their previous 10 games and 7 of those games they gave up 110+ points in. The Timberwolves are pretty much fully healthy for this game and they have played well in their games lately. I think they are going to keep putting up a lot of points in their games and they haven't been losing a lot of their games either so I don't see them changing their approach on defense either. I think this is going to be another game where they don't play any defense and rely on their offense to carry the weight here. The Suns have been on a path of destruction lately and they are the best team in the league at the moment. Their offense has looked great lately and they have been putting up a lot of points in their games too. They have put up 100+ points in 7 games in a row and their defense hasn't been any better giving up 100+ points in 5 of their previous 6 games. The Suns have also been destroying teams and winning their games by large margins of victory. I think there is a good chance that they will pull away by a lot on their home court here but the Timberwolves haven't been bad lately so i think they will offer a good challenge and try to catch up. Both of these teams will push each other's offense to score more points all night and i think this will be a game with very little defense in it from both teams. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-114 Suns. |

01-25-22 | DePaul +16.5 v. Villanova | Top | 43-67 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 52 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: DePaul. I like DePaul to cover the spread against Villanova in this game on Tuesday. DePaul have really been struggling since the start of January, they have only won 1 game in their previous 8. They have looked better in their games lately though and I think they are going to start turning things around soon and start winning more games breaking out of this funk they are in. Their previous 3 games have been 1 win for them, 1 loss at home by 1 point to Xavier who is having a great year, and a bad loss to Creighton in their most recent game where they lost by 13 points. They were looking much better before that loss to Creighton though and I think they are going to bounce back with a much better performance here. Despite being so bad lately and losing a lot of games, DePaul is not really getting blown out in their losses with a lot of them being by less than 10 points and only 1 of their losses in their previous 8 games was by 16+ points. They have already played Villanova earlier this year and they lost that game at home by 15 points but that was right after they were coming back from a covid break and Villanova caught them when they were at their worst still recovering from the illness. I think they have been playing much better and I expect them to put up more of a fight here and keep this game much closer than their last meeting. Villanova has also looked a lot better in their games since hitting conference play but lately they have not been as strong and I don't see them blowing out DePaul here. Villanova has only won 1 game by this many points in their previous 5 games and most of their conference wins have been closer games by less than 10 points. They just beat Georgetown in their most recent game but struggled to take the lead for a lot of that game and Georgetown has really been struggling against conference teams this year. I think DePaul is going to start turning things around now that they have been playing better and I expect them to keep this game with Villanova close at least. I like DePaul to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 73-67 Villanova. |

01-21-22 | Bulls v. Bucks OVER 227 | Top | 90-94 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 5 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls/Bucks OVER. I like the over in the Chicago Bulls vs Milwaukee Bucks game on Friday. I think this game is going to have a lot more offense than defense in it and I expect both team to put up the points here. The Bulls just ended a 4 game losing skid with a win in their most recent game and I think now that they have bounced back and are back on track they should put up a good fight against the Bucks and give them a challenge all night. They just put up 117 points in their most recent game and they have put up 100+ point in 3 games in a row. The Bulls definitely lean more on their offense when they are on the road and their defense has not looked as good in those games. They have given up 110+ points in 4 road games in a row and they have given up 105+ points to the opposing team in 10 games in a row. The Bulls have been 1 of the better teams in the league this year and I expect them to keep this game close with the Bucks but I don't expect them to that with their defense in this game. I think Milwaukee is going to keep scoring points on them all night and I expect the Bulls to be catching up for most of the game and really focused on their offense and getting the points to tie the game. Even if the Bulls are the team leading all night I don't think they will be able to play well enough on defense to slow down their scoring. The Bucks also just won a game that ended a losing skid for them but they still managed to put up points in those games. They just put up 126 points on their own home floor against the grizzlies who have been surging lately. The Bucks have also put up 110+ points in 3 of their previous 4 games and in 3 home games in a row now. I know the Bulls are missing some important players here but they still have a very good roster and DeRozan has become the heart of this team, as long as he is on the court he gives his team a chance to win. I think the Bulls are still going to play with a lot of heart here and stay in this game but I expect the Bucks to outscore them here and I really don't think there is going to be a ton of defense here. I like the over in this game. T.M. Prediction: 127-116 Bucks. |

01-20-22 | North Dakota v. Oral Roberts -20 | Top | 76-80 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 31 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Oral Roberts. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread against North Dakota in this game on Thursday. Oral Roberts has won 5 games in a row and 7 of their previous 8 games. They have looked really good at home this year winning 7/8 games played on their home court. They have also looked good in their conference play winning 6/7 of those games. Oral Roberts have played 3 games in a row on the road and finally get to play on their home court again for this game. The last time they played on their home court they beat Omaha by 45 points and I think this is another blow out win for them in the making. Omaha has a lot of similarities with North Dakota here. They both haven't won a game on the road this year and they are the 2 worst teams in this conference, Omaha at 3-16 this year and North Dakota at 4-14. Oral Roberts destroyed Omaha on their home court in their most recent home game and North Dakota is just as bad as them this year, I think this is going to be another 30+ point win for Oral Roberts over a very bad team here. North Dakota has a better record than Omaha, who has the worst record in the conference, yet they still lost to Omaha on the road by 16 points earlier this year. North Dakota has lost 6 games in a row and I don't see them making this game a close one either if they can't even keep up with Omaha in a game. Not only have they not won a game on the road yet after playing 8 road games this year, but they haven't won a game in their conference play either going 0-5 to start their conference play. This year is a big write off for North Dakota as there is nothing to salvage here and they are just a bad team that is going nowhere this year. Oral Roberts is in contention for their conference though and they only have 1 loss in conference play. They have a 12-6 record and a real chance to win this conference if South Dakota State start to slip up. I don't think this game is going to be close in any way. Oral Roberts has been the much better team this year and they will blow them out on their home court here. I like Oral Roberts to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 96-61 Oral Roberts. |

01-19-22 | Pacers v. Lakers -4.5 | Top | 111-104 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 14 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Wednesday. The Lakers just won their most recent game and that ended a 3 game losing skid they were on. Their win came at home and they found a way to grind out a 6 point win over the Jazz who had all of their starters playing in that game. They have had a really tough schedule lately and i think they are going to have a much easier time in this game pulling away with a lead and maintaining it. They just won over the Jazz who are 1 of the best teams in the league and 2 of their previous 3 losses were against the Nuggets and Grizzlies who have both become red hot lately. They also lost 2 of those games on the road and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year than on the road. Not only do they have a better home record but, they have won 5 of their previous 6 home games with that 1 loss coming against the Grizzlies who just came off a massive double digit win streak. I think the Lakers are going to get a bit of a break in this game since the Pacers have been terrible this year. Not only do the Pacers have 14 more losses than wins this year but, they have only won 3/20 road games too. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row and I expect them to continue their losing skid after this game. They have 1 win in their previous 11 games and they have lost 8 games in a row on the road now. Their last road win actually came back in November of 2021 and I really don't think they are going to end that road win drought here. The Lakers have also been getting healthier lately and they should have some more bench depth for this game. We are already more than halfway through the season and the Lakers have really underperformed, sitting in a measly 8th spot in the West. They have looked a lot better in games lately though and i think they are going to start getting hot as they get healthier. There are a lot of questions about the Lakers right now but I think LeBron is going to do what he does best here and carry his team to victory while shutting up all the critics. I expect the Lakers to start turning on the jets soon and I think they are going to beat up on a bad Pacers team here. I like the Lakers to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-98 Lakers. |

01-19-22 | Rider v. Quinnipiac UNDER 143 | Top | 67-73 | Win | 100 | 14 h 32 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Rider/Quinnipiac UNDER. I am on the under in the Rider vs Quinnipiac game on Wednesday. Rider has not been having a good year and they have been even worse in their road games this year. They have lost 6/7 road games played this year and they haven't been putting up a lot of points in those games either. Rider put up 79 points in their most recent road game, which was also their 1st road win this year, but they lost 3 games in a row on the road before that game and they didn't put up 60+ points in any of those games. They just lost at home in their most recent game and neither team even scored 60 points in that game. I think Rider is going to continue to struggle in road games here and I expect this to be another game where they don't put up a lot of points on the opposing team. Quinnipiac has won 2 games in a row now and they have looked a lot better on their home court this year than on the road. They have won 3 games in a row at home and were able to hold the opposing team to less than 70 points in all of those games but they did not put up 80+ points themselves in any of those games either. I don't expect Quinnipiac to score a ton of points on Rider in this game, Quinnipiac has only put up 80+ points in 2/15 games played this year. Their defense has been better on their home court lately and I'm expecting them to really blow out Rider in this game. They just played each other less than 1 week ago and Quinnipiac won that game on the road 77-70. I think Quinnipiac is going to score around the same amount in this game but I expect them to be better on defense and give up less points to Rider who has been struggling to score in road games lately. I expect this to be a lopsided game and I don't think Rider is going to be able to put up enough points to even make this game close to the total. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 67-53 Quinnipiac. |

01-14-22 | Davidson v. Richmond OVER 143 | Top | 87-84 | Win | 100 | 16 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Davidson/Richmond OVER. I am on the over in the Davidson vs Richmond game on Friday. Davidson has won 12 games in a row and they have put up 70+ points in all of those games. Their 2 losses this year were the only games that they didn't put up 70+ points in but those 2 losses were right at the beginning of the year and they have been scoring a ton ever since they went on their huge run. They have been stringing a lot of wins together lately but they haven't been getting those wins by playing good defense and I think this is going to be another game where they focus on their offense and try to outscore Richmond on the road here. Davidson has given up 65+ points in 3 games in a row and all of those games were in conference play. Their defense has been a lot worse on the road though and I think that is going to continue here. They have won all 3 of their road games this year but they have given up 69+ in all of those games, giving up 73+ points in their 2 most recent road games. I don't think Richmond is going to get pushed over by them though and I expect them to put up a fight here since they have the extra motivation of being the team that can end Davidson's long win streak. Richmond is also at home here where they have played much better this year and they just won their most recent game at home while putting up 80 points. That was their 1st win in conference play this year and now that they have the taste of winning in their mouths again, I expect a good performance from them on their home court. I think Davidson is going to focus on shooting and scoring in this game and I think it is going to leave plenty of opportunity for Richmond to keep up and even take the lead. These teams are going to be chasing each other all night with their shooting so I like the over in this game. T.M. Selection: 81-78 Richmond. |

01-11-22 | Warriors -1.5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 108-116 | Loss | -120 | 15 h 54 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Memphis Grizzlies in this game on Tuesday. The Warriors just ended a run where they had lost 2 games in a row with a win over the Cavs in their most recent game. They beat the Cavs by 14 points in that game and that game also saw the return of Klay Thompson to the Warriors lineup. Klay eased his way back in after missing so much time but still managed to put up 17 points in his season debut. The warriors have already looked great this year without him, now with both Klay and Steph back in their lineup, I think this is going to be a very tough team to stop. The Grizzlies have also looked really good in their games lately and they have been having a much better year than expected from them. The Grizzlies have won 9 games in a row but I think this is where that is going to come to an end. They have started to run out of gas in their games lately and they have lost a few players to injury too. They will be without Dillon Brooks in this game and I think that is going to be a big loss for them in this game. They were missing him in their previous game but they were playing the Lakers who haven't really been great this year and were still missing Anthony Davis too. They are also going to be missing Steven Adams in this game and I think that is going to be a huge loss of presence underneath the net. They have been able to get by with Jaren Jackson in his place but I think the Warriors are too strong a team for that to work here and I think the Grizzlies are going to be left vulnerable on the defensive end. Now that Klay has been back for a game he will only be better in each game going forward as he gets into his groove again and starts to gel with his teammates more. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here and win this game. T.M. Prediction: 114-104 Warriors. |

01-05-22 | Texas Tech v. Iowa State -2.5 | Top | 47-51 | Win | 100 | 15 h 21 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Iowa State. I like Iowa State to cover the spread against Texas Tech in this game on Wednesday. Iowa State has been having a great year, they won 12 games in a row to start the year off but lost their most recent game to Baylor. Baylor is ranked 1st in the country so that is not a bad loss but they only lost that game by 5 points at home and they have to be steamed about coming so close there. I think they are going to be hungry to bounce back in their next game and they will need to win since that loss started off their conference play at 0-1. They are at home again and I think Iowa State is going to step up here and get that conference win to get back to their winning ways. Before that loss to Baylor, Iowa State had won 4 games in a row by 10+ points and they had won all of their home games this year by 10+ points except for 1 game that they won by 8 points. They look great when they are on their home court and I think they are going to cover the spread here after playing very well against Baylor and almost ending their undefeated run. Texas Tech has looked good in their games lately but they have not been playing any strong teams really. They have only played in 1 road game this year and they lost to Gonzaga by 14 who has shown some cracks this year already. Texas Tech lost their only true road game played this year and now they get to be on the road again for their 1st game of conference play and Iowa State is not an easy team to play their 1st conference game against. I think Iowa State is the better team here and they are going to be upset over their loss to Baylor. I think Iowa State will bounce back in this game and cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-70 Iowa State. |

01-04-22 | Pacers v. Knicks -1.5 | Top | 94-104 | Win | 100 | 14 h 50 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Indiana Pacers in this game on Tuesday. The Knicks have lost 2 games in a row now and they have not looked good in those games, losing to 2 of the worst teams in the league. I think they are going to embarrassed after those 2 losses and they are going to bounce back in this home game. The Knicks did not look good in their most recent loss to the Raptors but they were playing great defense in their games before that 1, not giving up 100+ points in 3 games in a row. They just got back from a 4 game road trip but I expect them to play much better defense now that they are back on their home court. The Pacers haven't looked any better than the Knicks have in their games lately, the Pacers have actually looked worse than the Knicks lately. The Pacers have lost 4 games in a row now and 2 of those losses were at home where they are a much better team. I don't think the Pacers are going to play well on the here since they haven't looked good in general lately and they have only won 3/17 road games this year. They have also been playing worse on defense than the Knicks have been. The Pacers have given up 100+ points to the opposing team in 9 games in a row and I don't think anything is going to change in this game. I think the Knicks are going to play well on their home court and I expect the Pacers to struggle on the road again while the Knicks shut them down with their defense. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here and get a much needed bounce back win here at home. T.M. Prediction: 107-97 Knicks. |

12-29-21 | Hawks v. Bulls OVER 221.5 | Top | 117-131 | Win | 100 | 10 h 27 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bulls/Hawks OVER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). Chicago averages 110.1 points per game. It's coming off a 130-118 win at Atlanta just two nights ago. Atlanta averages 110.1 PPG as well. The Hawks however have seen the total fly 'over' the number in 7 of their last 10 in trying to revenge a loss against an opponent in which it conceded 130 or more points in. These two teams just played to an extremely high-scoring affair and I don't predict that the shift in venue will have any effect on their pace tonight. With the Hawks out for revenge, everything points to this one eclipsing the posted number as the game comes down the stretch! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

12-29-21 | LSU v. Auburn -4 | Top | 55-70 | Win | 100 | 9 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: AUBURN (10* GAME OF WEEK). LSU has a big target on its back with a 12-0 record. The Tigers are off a relatively simple 95-60 win over Lipscomb last time out. The Tigers average 79.6 PPG, while allowing only 54.1. Auburn is 11-1. It's 6-0 at home. It averages 81.1 PPG, while conceding 64.9. Three players average double figures for LSU. Three players average double figures for the home side as well. LSU has been fantastic, but it faces its toughest test of the year at Auburn. I say that home court advantage is the difference-maker! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |

12-28-21 | Bucks v. Magic +13 | Top | 127-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Magic (10*). The Magic aren't likely to win this one outright. Milwaukee is a huge favorite here. It finished the first half with 3 straight W's before X-Mas. That included a 117-113 victory at home over Boston in its most recent. This is an interesting stretch though for the Bucks, who play again here two nights from now, followed by games against New Orleans, the Pistons and the Raptors. All of those teams are horrible. I think the Bucks come out flat here after the X-Mas break and that's going to be the opportunity that we can take advantage of here. The Magic play with revenge after a 123-92 loss to the Bucks as 13.5-point dogs on November 22nd, and they're 7-1 ATS in their last 8 after a SU/ATS loss in which they were held to 95 points or less in. Look for Orlando to make this one "interesting!" T.M. Prediction: 110-105 Milwaukee. |

12-25-21 | Nets v. Lakers -1.5 | Top | 122-115 | Loss | -103 | 10 h 42 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: LA Lakers. I like the LA Lakers to cover the spread against the Brooklyn Nets in this game on Saturday. The Lakers haven't looked great in their games lately losing 4 games in a row. They will be missing a few players here because of injury and covid but they will still have LeBron James playing in this game and I expect him to carry his team here and lift them to a much needed win to end their bad run of losing that they have been on. Luckily, the Nets are going to missing quite a few starters in this game for the same reasons including Kevin Durant, LaMarcus Aldridge, and a bunch of their other support and bench players. I think that they are going to miss these players a lot in this game and they are not going to play as well in this game. James Harden will still be in this game but I don't think he is enough to carry the Nets here, he was already left alone in a game a little over a week ago against the Rockets and they lost that game with him in but Durant out. I think Durant is the heart of the Nets and without him in the lineup they are not going to be able to win this game. LeBron is getting up there in age but he is used to putting his team on his back and has done it many times throughout his career. I think with this being the Christmas Day game against a weakened Nets team and the Lakers in dire need of a win, LeBron should be putting the tam on his back here and I think with the current players in place, the Lakers are going to win this game. I like the Lakers to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-104 Lakers. |

T.M. Selection: New Orleans Pelicans. I like the New Orleans Pelicans to cover the spread against the Orlando Magic in this game on Thursday. The Pelicans have looked good in their games lately winning 3 in a row. The Pelicans are still 1 of the worst teams in the league but they have 4 more wins than the Magic have and the Pelicans have started to gain some steam in their previous games. They have been playing a lot better lately and they have won a majority of their games this year in their L10. They just beat the Trail Blazers in their most recent game by 14 points and that was on a night that Lillard was 1 point short of 40 in that game. The Magic have looked terrible this year and they have been having an even worse year than the Pelicans have. The Magic have won 2 games in a row but their wins were not that impressive. They beat a Hawks team that was missing Trae Young in their most recent game and in the 1 before that they beat a Nets team that was missing both Durant and Harden. They had lost 7 games in a row before winning those 2. The Pelicans have been having a bad year too so they will not be looking at the Magic like a good opportunity to rest some of their stars, they will be looking at it like a great opportunity to win another game. I expect the Pelicans to come out and play well in this game. The Pelicans are also a lot healthier than the Magic are since the Magic have a bunch of players on the covid list. I think that even if they get some of their players back, there is no team that they can put together to play well enough to keep this game close. I like the Pelicans to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Pelicans. |

12-21-21 | Georgia State v. Georgia Tech -5 | Top | 62-72 | Win | 100 | 16 h 51 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Georgia Tech. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread against Georgia State in this game on Tuesday. Georgia Tech had a great start to their year with a 5-1 record in their 1st 6 games but they have fallen into a slump lately losing 4 games in a row. I think this is a great game for them to bounce back, they are getting a team at home that they are much better than and this is a state rivalry game so i expect the Georgia Tech players to get up for this game. Georgia Tech has lost 4 games in a row but they have had a very tough schedule during that time facing 3 ranked teams and 1 team that wasn't ranked but is very good at 6-2 this year. Before that losing skid, they had won all but 1 of their wins by 9+ points and looked really good playing on their home court. Georgia State has not looked that great in their games lately, they have had alternating wins and losses over their previous 4 games and they only have those 2 wins in their previous 5 games. They have played a much weaker schedule than Georgia Tech has too so their wins haven't even been that impressive. They have really struggled in their games against better teams though, including some 10+ point losses against teams like Mississippi State, Rhode Island, and Richmond. I think Georgia Tech is a much better team than Georgia State is and I think Tech is going to be very happy in this game with a nice chance to end their losing skid. I expect them to play well in this game and pull away in it early sustaining their lead the whole game. I like Georgia Tech to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 77-56 Georgia Tech. |

12-16-21 | Knicks -6.5 v. Rockets | Top | 116-103 | Win | 100 | 14 h 15 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: New York Knicks. I like the New York Knicks to cover the spread against the Houston Rockets in this game on Thursday. The Knicks have lost 4 games in a row and I think they are going to bounce back big in this game. They haven't been winning games lately but they have looked a lot better on the court ever since taking Kemba Walker out of the rotation. They haven't let an opposing team score 113+ points in 3 games in a row but 2 of those games they did not give up more than 105 points. Thibodeaux has this team moving in the right direction preaching the defense to his players so I expect their defensive efforts to keep getting better and better in every game. The Rockets have looked really bad in most of their games this year, they only have 9 wins and 7 of those wins all came in a row on a big win streak they went on. They have started to look bad in their games again lately and have only won 1 game in their previous 4. The Rockets are also missing a lot of starters in this game and even if Gordon and Wood end up playing, it is not going to be enough to beat the Knicks here when they won't even be at 100%. The Rockets just lost their most recent game to the Cavaliers by 30+ points and they didn't even get to 90 points in that game. I think the Knicks are going to play great defense in this game and ensure that they break out of their bad run with a big win against the Rockets who are 1 of the worst teams in the league already and are missing key players here. I like the Knicks to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 107-92 Knicks. |

12-15-21 | Portland +17.5 v. Oregon | Top | 71-96 | Loss | -108 | 13 h 30 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland. I like Portland to cover the spread against Oregon in this game on Wednesday. Portland has looked good in their games this year with an 8-3 start to the year. A lot of their wins this year have been close games but their has been a few that they won by 10+ points too. They have only lost 3 games all year and they did not even look terrible in those losses. Their biggest loss was by 16 points to Arizona State in their 1st game of the year but things translate over fully in that first game and they have gotten a lot better since that loss. They have lost 2 games since then and those were both losses by single digits. Their defense hasn't looked great but their offense is scoring in their games and has been keeping up with whatever team has been in front of them. Oregon was supposed to have a very promising year this year but that has turned into a disaster as they have 5 losses through 10 games already. They started great winning 3/4 games to start the year but they have lost 4/6 in their most recent games and haven't looked good in any of those games but 1. Their 1 impressive win was over Montana by 40 points but their other win was an unimpressive 6 point win over UC Riverside on their own home court and then they had 2 losses by 10+ points and 2 closer losses against other conference teams. Oregon has looked bad all year and they are playing bad in a lot of their games. Oregon is not going to win this game by double digits with the way they have been playing so I like Portland to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 66-62 Oregon. |
|||||||
12-08-21 | Blazers v. Warriors -14 | Top | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 16 h 17 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Portland Trail Blazers in this game on Wednesday. The Warriors have been the best team in the league this year and they have looked really good in their games and that's without Klay Thompson returning yet. They have worked their way into 1st place in the league with the best record and they have been destroying the teams standing in their way. Going back to their most recent 6 wins, they won all of those games by 15+ points including the Suns when they were on their 18 game win streak, and the Trail Blazers a few weeks ago with Damien Lillard and CJ McCollum in the lineup. Lillard and McCollum are both going to be out for this game so the only difference is now they are missing their 2 best players. I think those 2 losses are going to make a big impact in this game, the Warriors were able to beat them with their best players last time and now those players will be missing which I think makes this way easier for the Warriors to cover here. The Trail Blazers have lost 3 games in a row at home without Lillard in any of those games and their closest game was a 12 point loss to the Clippers. They even lost the other 2 games by 25+ points and McCollum was playing in both. Now they have to go on the road after those home losses and I don't think the Trail Blazers are going to be able to dent the Warriors in this game. I think the Warriors are too strong for them and playing too well. I like the Warriors to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 115-92 Warriors. |

12-07-21 | Michigan v. Nebraska UNDER 141.5 | Top | 102-67 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Michigan/Nebraska UNDER. I am on the under in the Michigan vs Nebraska game on Tuesday. Michigan started the year as a ranked team but they have come a long way since then with 3 losses just 8 games in they have already been stripped of their rank this year and are not the team people though them to be. Their defense has looked good lately and they have kept the opposing team to less than 60 points in 2 of their previous 3 games. Their offense has decreased a lot since the beginning of the year though and they aren't scoring as much as they were. They have only put up 70+ points in 1 game of their previous 4. Michigan has also played just 1 road game this year and they were terrible in that game only putting up 51 points. Nebraska has been playing in some high scoring games this year but now that conference play is here I expect that to change. Nebraska put up 70+ points in their 1st 8 games this year except for 1 and that was against Creighton. Creighton was the best team that they faced during that time but as soon as they play a decent team they can't score as much and aren't as good anymore. Their most recent game was a conference loss to Indiana and they only put up 55 points in that game, and that was right after a game that they scored 100 points in. Their defense wasn't terrible in that game either though and they didn't let Indiana get to 70 points in that game. I think that Nebraska is going to struggle here since Michigan is a much better team but I don't think Michigan is going to come out and lay the points on them either. I expect there to be some good defense in this game from both and I think Michigan is also going to struggle on the road a bit. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 64-56 Michigan. |

12-04-21 | Alabama v. Gonzaga -9 | Top | 91-82 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 8 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against Alabama in this game on Saturday. Gonzaga just won their previous game by 9 points against Tarleton State but I think that they still have to be boiling over their loss to Duke in their game before that one against Tarleton. They lost to Duke by 3 points but they still played very well in that game and they have looked really good all year. That loss dropped them to 3rd in the country while Duke took over 1st place and then went and lost to Ohio State after that. I think that Gonzaga is boiling over that loss and I think that they are looking to destroy all ranked teams and take back their spot at the top. Gonzaga has already beaten a few ranked teams this year and they were by double digits in both games. They beat a top 10 Texas team by 12 points and they also beat a top 5 UCLA team by 20 points and they were 2nd in the country at the time of that loss to Gonzaga. I think Gonzaga is still by far the best team in the country no matter what the rankings say. Gonzaga has beaten many opposing teams by 20+ points and by double digits this year, including ranked teams, and I expect this game to be no different for them. Alabama has looked okay in their games this year but they have also had a much easier schedule than Gonzaga has and Alabama hasn't even faced a ranked team all year before this game. I think Gonzaga is still the best team and I like them to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 85-65 Gonzaga. |

11-30-21 | Warriors v. Suns UNDER 221 | Top | 96-104 | Win | 100 | 17 h 48 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Warriors/Suns UNDER. I am on the under in the Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns game on Tuesday. This game is between the 2 best teams in the league right now and I don't think it is going to be a high scoring shootout. The Warriors have won 7 games in a row and the Suns have won 16 games in a row, neither team is going to want to lose here and I think that both are going to play better defense in order to keep the other off the board knowing how hot both teams have been. The Suns have only put up 120+ points 2 times in their previous 12 games and I really don't think they will be able to do that on the Warriors with their defensive skill. The Warriors have held the opposing team to less than 100 points in 2 of their previous 3 games and i expect them to play their best defense all year knowing that they are playing a team that has won 16 in a row. The Warriors have been on a crazy run and playing incredibly since the start of the year though, so the Suns aren't going to have their guard down in this game either. The Warriors haven't put up 120+ points in 9 games in a row anyway, and I think the Suns will make sure that continues here. I am expecting a lower scoring game between these 2 hot teams as both try to play their best defense in this game. I am on the under here. T.M. Prediction: 97-95 Suns. |

11-26-21 | Wizards -7.5 v. Thunder | Top | 101-99 | Loss | -110 | 15 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Washington Wizards. I like the Washington Wizards to cover the spread against the OKC Thunder in this game on Friday. The Wizards were holding down the 1st place spot in the East just over a week ago but they have gone on a bad run lately and have dropped to 4th place in the East after getting just 1 win in their previous 5 games. They just lost to the Pelicans by 20+ points right before Thanksgiving and that one had to sting since the Pels are 1 of the worst team in the league. I think they are going to bounce back from that bad loss in this game and drown the Thunder in buckets. The Thunder have not looked good at all this year, they have lost 4 games in a row and have just 1 win in their previous 7 games. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been their only bright spot this year and he is injured at the moment and questionable to play this game. Even if he does play in the game, he won't be 100% and once the Wizards take him out of the game with their defense then it will be all over for the Thunder and any chance they had to do damage in this game. I think the Wizards are going to cover the spread here. T.M. Prediction: 111-96 Wizards. |

11-23-21 | Gonzaga -5.5 v. UCLA | Top | 83-63 | Win | 100 | 19 h 34 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Gonzaga. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread against UCLA in this game on Tuesday. Gonzaga is the best team in the country by a lot and I think that they are going to prove it in this game when they destroy UCLA. Gonzaga has been scoring a lot of points this year with 80+ points in all of their games. They have given up less than 60 points in most of their games this year and have only given up 70+ points on 1 occasion and it was against a ranked team. UCLA has not been playing good defense this year giving up 60+ points in most of their games, even giving up almost 80 points to Long Beach State. I think Gonzaga plays better defense and will be able to shut down UCLA when they have possession. UCLA only put up 75 points in their previous game too, and I think that they will not be able to match the Gonzaga offense playing like that. They also have a common opponents in their 1st few games. Both teams have played Bellarmine already, UCLA won by 13 points and Gonzaga won by 42. Gonzaga is just a much better team and I think that they are going to show why they are the best in the country when they destroy UCLA here. I like Gonzaga to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 84-72 Gonzaga. |

11-18-21 | Warriors -8 v. Cavs | Top | 104-89 | Win | 100 | 14 h 41 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Golden State Warriors. I like the Golden State Warriors to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers in this game on Thursday. The Warriors are 12-2 to start the year and they are holding down the best record in the league. From what I have seen in their games, the Warriors look like they are back, and they don't even have Klay Thompson back in the lineup yet. They only have 1 loss in 9 games and all 8 of those wins were by 10+ points, they are absolutely destroying teams. The Cavaliers have looked decent up to this point but now a lot of their key pieces are out with injury and I don't expect them to continue what they've been doing without those players. The losses of Markkanen, Sexton, and Mobley are huge blows to their team and even Allen is questionable for this game with an illness. With all of their starters out of this game, and for the time being, the Cavaliers are going to start taking a dive so I like the Warriors to cover the spread in this game. T.M. Prediction: 117-92 Warriors. |

10-29-21 | Clippers v. Blazers -135 | Top | 92-111 | Win | 100 | 15 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Portland Trail Blazers ML. I like the Portland Trail Blazers to beat the LA Clippers in this game on Friday. The Trail Blazers won their last game against the Grizzlies after a brutal loss on the road against the Clippers in their game before that one. They had a nice bounce back against the Grizzlies beating them by 20 points, but I think this is the game that they are looking forward too. Their coach called their loss in LA embarrassing and with the way these Clippers are playing, who can blame him? That loss was very embarrassing and I expect the Trail Blazers to get their revenge here at home. Damian Lillard has not even been playing well and is off to a slow start this year. The team has been getting carried by CJ McCollum but I expect that Lillard is going to have a tremendous game very soon. I think he has a huge game here and along with the way McCollum is playing at the moment, they will be unstoppable and too much for the Clippers to handle. The Clippers are off to such a bad start that their only win was against Portland last Monday and they have also suffered losses to the Grizzlies and the Cavaliers in their first 4 games here. The Clippers are just bad right now and can't be trusted at all. I like the Trail Blazers ML to win this game here. T.M. Prediction: 118-102 Trail Blazers. |

10-23-21 | Mavs v. Raptors UNDER 216.5 | Top | 103-95 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Raptors/Mavericks UNDER. I am on the under in the Toronto Raptors vs Dallas Mavericks game on Saturday. The Raptors are on a B2B in this matchup and this is the 2nd game of that B2B. They lost a lot of their talent in the offseason and their offensive power really took a hit with the departure of Kyle Lowry. This is a very young team now but they are still playing good defense in their games to make up for that offense that they lack. In 2 games this season, they have not given up 100+ points in either of their games. Neither of their games have reached 200 points total either. The Mavericks haven't had a good start to their season this year losing their 1st game and failing to score even 100 points in that game. They were a disappointment in that game and now they have to travel out of the country up north for this game with no momentum on their side after that crushing loss. Their shooting was horrific in that game and I expect them to have a similar kind of game here. The Raptors won't really push them to score a lot either as they will try to win this game with a good defensive approach. I expect this to be a lower scoring game where 1 of these teams will not even reach 100 points. I like the under in this game. T.M. Prediction: 101-95 Mavericks. |

07-20-21 | Suns +5 v. Bucks | Top | 98-105 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). If you're watching and wagering on Game 6, then you know the story lines and the cast of characters. You know the teams strengths and weaknesses. This is it for the Suns, who had the 2-0 lead early in this series. I say though that the Bucks finally have a letdown here. The more desperate team is going to win this contest and that's the Suns. Also note that Phoenix is 7-3 ATS in its last ten in trying to revenge two or more straight SU/ATS losses in a row to an opponent. Grab the points, expect a nail-biter! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY |
|||||||
07-14-21 | Suns v. Bucks UNDER 220.5 | Top | 103-109 | Win | 100 | 37 h 46 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER FIRST HALF (10* FINALS FIRST HALF TOTAL OF YEAR). Instead of playing the full game under, I'm targetting the first half. Game's 1 and 2 both flew over the number, but Game 3 finally went under. The first half total went over the number though in Game 2, but in my opinion, Game 4 definitely sets up as more of a defensive affair. Phoenix had its way in Game 1 against a tired and injured Bucks team, but the reason the Suns are in the Finals this season is because of their improved defensive play. Milwaukee will be once again out to control the tempo of this one and in my opinion, this contest from a situational stand point, absolutely sets up as a defensive affair. Look for that to pay IMMEDIATE dividends though. This first half total is high, the play is the under! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-11-21 | Suns +4 v. Bucks | Top | 100-120 | Loss | -101 | 35 h 45 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns (10* GAME OF THE WEEK). I really respect Giannis Antetokounmpo, but his supporting cast has been a "no show" so far in the Finals and I expect that to continue here. Chris Paul, Devin Booker and De'Andre Ayton are impossible to slow down right now, but the difference is that their bench and role players are producing. Keep your eyes on Mikal Bridges, who had 27 points in Game 2 for the Suns. Phoenix is 6-1 ATS in its last seven on the road and while the outright win is possible in my opinion, let's grab the points! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-08-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 220.5 | Top | 108-118 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 6 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Suns/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL OF WEEK). The Bucks lost badly in Game 1, but I expect them to be much more competitive in Game 2. Giannis Antetokounmpo was game time decision in the last game, so it was difficult for the Bucks to come in with a proper game plan. Giannis was good and I expect him to be even better here. I expect Milwaukee as a whole to play a lot better on the defensive end as well. The Bucks' series with the Nets was incredibly defensive and I expect that same intensity here as they look to avoid the 0-2 hole. The Suns are where they are right now because of their improved defensive play. I say that Game 2 has under written all over it! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-06-21 | Bucks v. Suns UNDER 219 | Top | 105-118 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 9 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Bucks/Suns UNDER (10* TOTAL TRADE-MARK). Without Giannis Antetokounmpo in the line-up, the last thing the Bucks can afford to do is to turn this into a "track meet" with Chris Paul and Devin Booker. Milwaukee will have to get up in their face throughout and try to grind out a win here in Game 1 without its superstar playing tonight. Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez, Jrue Holiday and Bobby Portis have had to defend some stiff opponents during this playoff run (the Nets in particular come to mind), and so I don't see the Suns actually being the best offense they've faced so far. The Bucks have been efficient on both ends of the court during the playoffs. The Suns have been though as well. One big advantage that Phoenix will have in Game 1 is the size difference in the middle, so look for Paul to try and get big man D'Andre Ayton involved throughout. I think the extra time off as well will help in driving this total under the posted number! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-03-21 | Bucks v. Hawks -145 | Top | 118-107 | Loss | -145 | 12 h 3 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks MONEY LINE (10* TRADE-MARK). Whether Trae Young plays or not, I like the Hawks to beat the Bucks without star Giannis Antetokounmpo in the line-up. He's out because of a hyper-extended knee and while the Bucks did rally for a big win in Game 5 without their star, a predictable letdown is inevitable here on the road in my opinion. The exact same thign just happened to the Hawks, who rallied for the win in Game 5 at home without Trae Young. Atlanta is also 7-2 ATS in its last nine in trying to revenge a road loss against an opponent in which it conceded 120 or more points in. Forget the spread, the play here is the home side on the moneyline! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
|||||||
07-01-21 | Hawks v. Bucks UNDER 216 | Top | 112-123 | Loss | -105 | 13 h 19 m | Show |
T.M. Selection: Hawks/Bucks UNDER (10* TOTAL MONEY-MAKER). No need to overthink this one. The last three games have all fallen under the number in this series. We're all tied up heading back to Milwaukee, but with both team's respective superstars sidlined with injury. Giannis Antetokounmpo is averaging 28.2 points and 12.7 boards for the Bucks in the playoffs, but he injured his knee in the last time. Trae Young is averaging 29.8 points and 9.5 assists for the Hawks, and his status is still questionable for this one. With these two stars sidelined, expect this to be a scrappy, and ultimately a lower-scoring under once again! T.M. Prediction: COMING SHORTLY. |
