Play on: USC Upstate +19 -105 at BMaker

Free Pick on USC Upstate +
I'm recommending grabbing the points here with South Carolina Upstate in Monday's A-Sun Tournament opener against conference leader Florida Gulf Coast. This is simply too much value to pass up with the Spartans, who kept it respectable in each of the two meetings during the regular-season.
Not only are the Eagles overvalued here, but I think they could have a tough time getting up for a team they know they can beat without their best effort. As for the Spartans, they got nothing to lose and should give us everything they got here.
Adding to all of this is a great system in play backing the Eagles. Underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points are 196-132 (60%) ATS when revenging a loss and off a home loss. Take USC Upstate!

Play on: Marquette -1 -110 at betonline

COLLEGE HOOP 75 DIME GAME
MARQUETTE
I am siding with Marquette in this one. Both teams have been wildly inconsistent, however I am willing to take a powerful Marquette offense against a struggling Georgetown defense. The Hoyas are allowing an average of 83.1 points in their last ten games, so I do not trust them against a dangerous Marquette team that is shooting over 47% on the season, and they also feature several three-point threats. Furthermore, Marquette recently defeated Seton Hall and Creighton on the road, and they drilled 13 three-pointers in their 74-65 win against Georgetown earlier this season.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Celtics
Play on: Celtics -12 -103 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Boston Celtics -12
The Boston Celtics came out of the All-Star Break on a mission after losing their final three games before the break to fall into second place in the Eastern Conference behind the Raptors. They have responded with back-to-back wins and covers at Detroit (110-98) and at New York (121-112).
Now the Celtics get to host a Memphis Grizzlies team that is banged up and clearly tanking. The Grizzlies are playing without Mike Conley, Tyreke Evans, Chandler Parsons and Wayne Selden right now. It’s no wonder they are 0-9 in their last nine games overall.
Their two games since the break have been particularly worrisome. They lost 89-112 as 5-point home underdogs to Cleveland and 89-115 as 9.5-point road underdogs at Miami. I don’t see them being able to stay within 12 points of a Boston team tonight that got healthier over the break by getting Marcus Smart back in the lineup.
The Celtics are 4-0 SU & 4-0 ATS in their last four meetings with the Grizzlies. Boston is 5-0 ATS in its last five games vs. a team with a losing record. Memphis is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Bet the Celtics Monday.

Play on: West Virginia -5½ -108 at 5Dimes

Ricky's Free play on West Virginia -5.5:
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. In tonight's game there's no doubt that the poor play of Texas Tech is particularly significant. The Red Raiders had their sights set on a BIG12 title just a few weeks ago, but they come into Morgantown off three straight losses. They are coming off a particularly tough loss at home to Kansas, and that's the kind of defeat that is pretty tough to put behind you. I expect the Red Raiders to suffer a let down here against a hot West Virginia team.
Key Trends:
- The Red Raiders are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 versus the Big 12.
- The Red Raiders are 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
- The Mountaineers are 19-7 ATS in their last 26 home games versus teams with a winning road record.
Verdict: Take WVU -5.5

Edges - Suns: visiting team in this series 6-0 ATS… Pelicans: 0-6 ATS L6 versus .333 or less opponents… With the Suns playing with revenge from a 24-point loss in their last meeting with the Pelicans, and New Orleans arriving off a game at Milwaukee yesterday, we recommend a 1* play on Phoenix. Thank you and good luck as always.

Play on: Bulls +4 -102 at 5Dimes

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Game #703 Monday Free Pick Chicago Bulls (+) @ Brooklyn Nets @ 7:35 ET - Big line move toward Brooklyn here because they have a nearly identical record to that of Chicago plus they have home court so everyone jumped on the small early line on the Nets. This has opened up great value on the road dog Bulls in this one. Chicago has been playing much better basketball than Brooklyn has and I am happy to take the points. The Bulls are only 2-4 in their last 6 games but one of those losses came by a single point versus the 76ers. As for the Nets, not only have they lost 8 straight games they've also lost 12 of their last 13. Brooklyn is on a 3-9 ATS run and are actually 1-7 ATS and SU in their last 8 games against teams that allow an average of 106 points or more per game. Chicago has been getting involved in high-scoring games and the Bulls are actually 17-7 SU and ATS the last 24 times they've entered a game on a streak of 3 or more consecutive games going over the total. Included in that is a 5-2 ATS mark this season and I expect another cover, if not outright upset, in this one early Monday. Free Pick CHICAGO

Play on: Georgetown +1 -110 at betonline

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. Take #722 Georgetown over Marquette (7p.m., Monday February 26 FS1) Just cannot trust Marquette anymore, especially when they are playing on the road. They are coming off a terrible second half against DePaul in which they did not play any defense at all. Just do not believe that they can rebound from that performance to win in the District on Monday. Georgetown is not any good either, but I believe they will be motivated to put forth a good performance in their last home game of the season. Georgetown is 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games against teams with a winning record. Do not miss out on Doc’s Sports Monday card featuring basketball and hockey picks.

Dave’s Monday Free Play:
1* on Utah Jazz +2.5
The Key: The Houston Rockets had to play in the altitude last night in a hard-fought 119-114 win at Denver. It was their 12th consecutive win, but now they’ll be playing the second of a back-to-back in altitude again tonight at Utah. I think their winning streak comes to an end against a Jazz team that is playing every bit as good as they are right now. Utah is 12-1 in its last 13 games overall. The Jazz had yesterday off and will be the fresher team. They’ll also be hungry to avoid the season sweep at the hands of the Rockets after losing their first 3 meetings with them. The Rockets are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games playing on zero days rest. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take Utah.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Los Angeles Lakers -1.5
The Los Angeles Lakers have been playing great basketball for a month now. They are 10-5 SU & 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall. They have come out of the break and won and covered both games with a 124-102 home win over Dallas and a 113-108 road win at Sacramento. They play another bottom feeder that they should be able to handle here in the Atlanta Hawks, who are 1-5 in their last six games overall to drop to 18-42 on the season. They were blitzed 93-116 at Indiana in their lone game since the All-Star Break. The Lakers are 9-1 ATS after scoring 110 points or more in two straight games this season. Give me the Lakers.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Celtics
Play on: Grizzlies +12 -103 at pinnacle

The Celtics have looked good coming out of All-Star break posting road victories against the Pistons and Knicks. Now Boston returns home in a flat spot and with its defense not fixed. The Celtics are giving up an average of 115.4 points in their last four games.
Boston hosts the struggling Grizzlies, losers of nine in a row. The Celtics have bigger games on deck. They host the suddenly hot Hornets, winners of four in a row, on Wednesday and are on national television against the Rockets on the road Saturday. Astute Celtics coach Brad Stevens has his eye on those more challenging matchups. Boston's purpose here is hold off a desperate Grizzlies squad that gets their best player, Marc Gasol, back not cover a large margin. The Grizzlies played poorly in a 115-89 road loss to the Heat this past Saturday. Gasol was rested for that game. He'll return for this game. Tyreke Evans and Chandler Parsons also missed the Heat game. Both are questionable here. I like the Grizzlies to stay within single digits regardless of the status of Evans and Parsons. The Celtics are 3-9-1 ATS the past 13 times hosting opponents with a losing road mark. Boston has failed to cover the past three times, too, at home when laying points. The Celtics are not in top form. Memphis isn't in total tank mode. The Grizzlies have a top-five defense and should play hard here. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is one of the top NBA 'cappers in the country with the record to prove it. The long-time pro is 36-18 on his last 54 premium/free NBA plays, including going 20-7 on his last 27 NBA plays for 74 percent!

NCAA-B | Duke vs Virginia Tech
Play on: Duke -5½ -106 at 5Dimes

I'm recommending a play on Duke minus the points on Monday. Duke has made the necessary adjustments since the losses to St. John's and North Carolina and have won and covered five in a row, including Saturday's 60-44 win over Syracuse. Also, Marvin Bagley III has returned from an injury and was the leading scorer against the Orange with 17 points as the Blue Devils won by 16 even while shooting only 39.6 percent overall and 2 of 17 from 3-point range. Duke is shooting 49.8 percent for the season and has a big advantage on the boards against Virginia Tech, which was outrebounded 41-27 in a loss to Louisville on Saturday. Duke averages 39.4 rebounds per game compared to 31.0 for the Hokies. The Blue Devils have played stifling defense the last five games holding opponents to just 35.4 percent from the field and Virginia Tech has shot only 39.3 percent its last two games and both were at home. Duke is 12-4-1 ATS its last 17 road contests and we'll back them here. Duke minus the points on Monday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

ASA FREE PLAY ON Toronto Maple Leafs Money Line (+) over Tampa Bay Lightning, Monday at 7:35 PM ET

The Maple Leafs defeated the Lightning in Toronto two weeks ago in their most recent meeting but home ice generally hasn't meant much the past two seasons when these teams match up. The fact is that the road team had won 5 in a row before the Leafs knocked off the Bolts north of the border two weeks ago. That is why we see huge value here with Toronto as a big dog in this rematch. With the road dominance in this series and the fact the Maple Leafs are in range of about +150 as a dog, this is a situation worth taking a look at! The Maple Leafs have won 13 of their last 15 games. Tampa enters this game off of a win but previously had lost 3 of their last 6. Also, the Bolts have lost 4 of their last 8 games on home ice. Grab the value with the sizable road dog here. FREE PLAY ON Toronto Maple Leafs on the money line in early evening action Monday.
