#1 RIGHT ON / #1A TIZ SURPRISED
#2 MEADS BAY
#6 GO KELLY GO
#4 CAOIMHE

#1 RIGHT ON takes a class drop (-10) this afternoon, and is the overall speed leader in this field sprinting at 6.0 furlongs on the dirt, and has produced "POWER RUN PERFORMANCES" in each of her last five starts, hitting the board in three of those outings, including a "POWER RUN WIN" facing better company (+4) in her 5th race back. Her stablemate, #1A TIZ SURPRISED, has hit the board in five straight, with her last four efforts, including a win in her 4th race back, also qualifying as "POWER RUNS." #2 MEADS BAY, a 5-1 shot, is the pace profile leader, and comes off a maiden-breaking, "POWER RUN WIN" in her last start.

# 5 ROCK N' GOLD 7/5

# 1 MY SWEET CHARITY 7/2

# 2 REMY'S ROCKET 3/1

ROCK N' GOLD looks competitive to best this field. Always seems to be right there at the finishing post. With a reliable 73 average speed figure at the distance, seems well suited for today's contest. With Hiraldo getting the mount, watch out for this pony. MY SWEET CHARITY - Has respectable Equibase Class Figures relative to this group - worth a look. Has to be given consideration here on the basis of the numbers in the speed realm alone. REMY'S ROCKET - This filly obviously likes the distance, going 3 for 14 in her races recently. With Flores on top her, this filly will almost certainly be able to break out quickly in this competition.

Fair Grounds - Race #9 - Post: 5:03pm - Maiden Claiming - 5.5 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $14,000 Class Rating: 61

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#14 FROM NOW ON (ML=8/1)
#3 MY FIRST GUITAR (ML=3/1)
#11 MAGIC MANIAC (ML=8/1)


FROM NOW ON - The last time I saw this horse was at Delta Downs in a race with an Equibase class figure of 67. Dropping significantly in Equibase class figure today puts him in a solid position in today's race. I think that a sprinter coming off a layoff will usually run his best in the 3rd or 4th start back. MY FIRST GUITAR - Ran last out against a much better field at Fair Grounds. The move down in class ranks should suit him well. You have to like that last race speed rating, 62, which is the best latest race speed figure of this field. Popular angle - 3rd or 4th start after a vacation generally leads to a big effort. Going to run a nice one here. This gelding is certainly on the improve with speed ratings of 27, 51, 62 last 3 out. MAGIC MANIAC - When this rider and conditioner are put together you have to take a look. Camacho and Duke have been fantastic together. The addition of the 'shades' should keep his mind on business today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #16 CUSTOM BLING (ML=3/1), #5 LOOKINGFORROSES (ML=4/1), #15 JR'S SAUVAGE (ML=9/2),

CUSTOM BLING - This chalk horse hasn't visited the track in awhile. No works since last race. This gelding has already tasted defeat as the favorite the last two times. Hard to give him another chance. You think this horse is going to win just because he's always close. Just doesn't finish first regularly. LOOKINGFORROSES - In any contest of 5 1/2 furlongs, I like to wager on a contender that has been sharp in sprint events of late. Didn't finish in the money on Dec 30th at Fair Grounds. Followed it up with another lackluster outing. Showed some physical problems last time around the track at Fair Grounds. JR'S SAUVAGE - Tough for this closer equine to get up today. Without a hot pace to stir things up, the lone front speed is going to make it awfully hard to get the job done. This racer ran a mediocre speed figure last time around the track. He shouldn't run much better and will likely get beat in today's race running that figure.

# 4 SIR BRAHMS 5/2

# 1 ALBERTOS AL QUINTO 3/1

# 5 WITCHY'S LASTSTAND 6/1

SIR BRAHMS has a competitive shot to take this race. Ought to be given consideration based on the very strong speed fig recorded in the last affair. Has performed very well lately in sprint races, posting a nifty 59 avg speed fig. ALBERTOS AL QUINTO - Gonzalez has this gelding moving well and is a respectable selection based on the respectable speed figures recorded in sprint races recently. Will most likely go to the lead and should never look back. WITCHY'S LASTSTAND - Has raced solidly in dirt sprint races. His 60 average has this gelding with among the top speed figs in this contest.

#5 CHIEF OF STAFF (ML=7/2)
#6 AZTEC LION (ML=9/2)
#1A MALIBU WOOD (ML=8/5)
#2 IMPERATORE (ML=5/2)


CHIEF OF STAFF - Birzer and Van Berg perform well when they unite. It's hard to beat a +33 return on investment for a rider and trainer. I like when a horse wins after shipping in from elsewhere. It shows that they really like the track here. I'll take this horse to win again. Have to give this horse a good shot. Ran a nice contest last out within the last thirty days. Ranked numero uno in EPS (earnings per start). Another notice that this horse has the class to win. AZTEC LION - Vazquez was aboard this gelding in the last race and was impressed enough to take the horse right back. This gelding is in nice physical condition. Ran second on March 2nd. A repeat of that recent performance on Mar 2nd where he garnered a speed figure of 97 looks strong enough to prove victorious in this contest. MALIBU WOOD - I figure McKnight is making a good move here. This gelding can only be aided by the shorter distance. The jockey/trainer duo of Morales and McKnight has a strong ROI together. IMPERATORE - I like that most recent contest on March 2nd at Oaklawn Park where he ran third. May have to wager on this magnificent animal in this affair. He has been claimed in each of his last two starts.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 NIIGON'S GLORY (ML=8/5), #2X RINGS OF JUPITER (ML=5/2),

NIIGON'S GLORY - I don't normally play a chalk horse that hasn't been to the track in the last three weeks. RINGS OF JUPITER - This entrant ran a common speed figure in the last race. He shouldn't run much better and will likely suffer defeat today running that figure.

Friday's NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 betting preview: Midwest Region

Games to be played at CenturyLink Center Omaha in Omaha, Nebraska.

(5) Clemson Tigers vs (1) Kansas Jayhawks (-5, 142.5)

Clemson was picked to finish 13th out of 15 teams in the preseason ACC poll and lost their second-leading scorer Donte Grantham to a season-ending knee injury in January, but the 5th-seeded Tigers find themselves two wins from the Final Four. Clemson, making its first Sweet 16 appearance since 1997, takes on top-seeded Kansas on Friday night in the Midwest Region semifinal at Omaha, Neb.

“I think we’re excited that we went to the Sweet 16, and we don’t do that here at Clemson very often, but why not more?” Tigers coach Brad Brownell told The State. “And that’s what we’re thinking about. … I want to do what we can to get ready and try to beat one of the best teams in the country, one of the best programs in the country.” Clemson rolled to an 84-53 victory over Auburn in the second round while allowing 25.8 percent shooting from the field and will have to raise its game defensively against the Jayhawks, who boast five players averaging at least 12 points. Big 12 champion Kansas rallied from an early 10-point deficit to beat Pennsylvania in the first round and outlasted Seton Hall 83-79 in the second to reach the Sweet 16 for the ninth time in the last 12 years. “They are so well-coached and sound,” Jayhawks coach Bill Self told reporters of Clemson. “Playing in the ACC they’ve played against some unbelievable teams all year long. This will be a difficult game, a game that will require us to play a lot better than we did this past weekend.”

TV: 7:07 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Kansas opened the betting week as 4-point favorites and heading into game day they have been bet up to -5. The total hit betting boards at 143 and has dropped slightly to 142.5.

BETTING STATS:

http://i64.tinypic.com/2hn6qom.jpg

ABOUT CLEMSON: Senior guard Gabe DeVoe became the first Tiger to score at least 20 in consecutive NCAA Tournament games since Elden Campbell in 1989 by recording 22 in both contests on 18-of-28 shooting. Junior guard Marcquise Reed leads the team in scoring (15.9) and is second in assists (3.4) while DeVoe (14.2 points) has drained a team-best 83 from 3-point range. Junior point guard Shelton Mitchell (12.3 points, team-high 3.7 assists) scored 23 in the first round against New Mexico State and junior forward Elijah Thomas (10.9 points, 8.1 rebounds) had a double-double versus Auburn.

ABOUT KANSAS: Sophomore center Udoka Azubuike, who missed the Big 12 Tournament with a knee injury, is expected to be back in the starting lineup Friday after recording 10 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes against Seton Hall. Senior guard Devonte’ Graham, the Big 12 Player of the Year, leads the team in scoring (17.4) and assists (7.5) but must rebound from a 1-for-7 shooting effort in the second round. Sophomore guard Malik Newman, who averaged 24 points in the Big 12 Tournament, scored 28 on 8-of-14 shooting (4-of-8 from 3-point range) against Seton Hall to raise his season mark to 13.4.

(11) Syracuse Orange vs (2) Duke Blue Devils (-11.5, 133.5)

Jim Boeheim's 2-3 zone has flustered opponents during this NCAA Tournament just like it seems to whenever Syracuse makes the Big Dance, but it has been Mike Krzyzewski's use of the same defense that has made Duke equally stingy. The two winningest coaches in Division I college basketball history will attempt to outwit one another yet again Friday in Omaha, Neb., as the No. 2 seed Duke meets the 11th-seeded Orange in a Sweet 16 matchup.

Krzyzewski (1,099-337) made the move to the zone as his team's primary defense 11 games ago, and the Blue Devils, who surrendered 72.8 points per game over their first 24 games, have allowed an average of 61.7 points since. Duke's defensive renaissance may been best illustrated five games after the switch as the Blue Devils held Syracuse to 31.5 percent shooting and forced 17 turnovers in a 60-44 victory on Feb. 24. While Duke has won its first two NCAA Tournament games by an average of 23.5 points, the Orange has claimed their three victories - by a total of 11 points - by riding a defense that has kept each of its opponents at least 25 points below their season scoring average. Syracuse, where Boeheim has posted a 925–367 record (minus 101 vacated victories), pulled off the biggest upset of its run Sunday, forcing Michigan State to miss its final 13 shots en route to a 55-53 win.

TV: 9:37 p.m. ET, CBS

LINE HISTORY: Duke opened as big 11.5-point favorites and that number has been steady heading into game day. The total hit betting boards at 133.5 and has also yet to move.

BETTING STATS:

http://i66.tinypic.com/293fv4o.jpg

ABOUT SYRACUSE: Tyus Battle (1,403), Frank Howard (1,383) and Oshae Brissett (1,371) rank first, second and fourth, respectively in Division I in total minutes and are responsible for 73.2 percent of the team's offensive production this season. Battle (team-high 19.3 points) is the highest-scoring sophomore in Orange history with 693 points and has played all 40 minutes in 14 of the last 17 games, but he is shooting only 27.4 percent from the field over his last four outings. Brissett (14.9 points, 8.9 rebounds) needs 11 more points to move into fourth place on the school's freshman scoring list and has accounted for 31.6 percent of the team's points over the last four contests.

ABOUT DUKE: ACC Player of the Year Marvin Bagley III (21.2 points, 11.3 rebounds) has tallied 22 points in each of the first two rounds, and he is shooting 67.4 percent from the floor since he returned against the Orange following a four-game absence. Fellow freshman forward Wendell Carter Jr. (13.6, 9.2) produced the last of his 15 double-doubles this season with 16 points and 10 boards last month versus Syracuse and was the only other player beside Bagley (19) to score more than 10 points in the contest. Following a month-long stretch in which he failed to reach double figures six times in 10 outings, senior guard Grayson Allen (15.6 points) is averaging 18.5 points over his last 11 games.

MATCHUP CHART:

* Orange are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 NCAA Tournament games.
* Blue Devils are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

* Under is 7-1 in Blue Devils' last 8 vs. Atlantic Coast.

Friday's NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 betting preview: East Region

Games to be played at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

(5) West Virginia Mountaineers vs (1) Villanova Wildcats (-5, 152.5)

Few NCAA Tournament teams, if any, looked better than Villanova during the opening weekend. The top-seeded Wildcats aim for a third straight blowout Friday when they take on East Region fifth seed West Virginia in a Sweet 16 matchup in Boston.

Villanova has opened its tournament by beating 16th-seeded Radford by 26 and ninth-seeded Alabama by 23 behind more fabulous work from Mikal Bridges. The junior swingman is averaging 18 points for the tournament (and the season) and has made 8-of-14 from 3-point range through the first two rounds of this event. West Virginia and its havoc defense will pose a legitimate threat for Villanova, which enters leading the nation in scoring (86.9) and may have its hands full against a Mountaineers squad that has won its first two Big Dance games by a combined 40 points. “The pressure they bring with all the guys they play. It’s 40 minutes of pressure; they’re a very physical team, they’re quick, athletic and play so fast paced," Villanova guard Phil Booth told reporters. "They have one of the most rare styles of play in all of college basketball. The preparation for that is going to be big for us.”

TV: 7:27 p.m. ET, TBS

LINE HISTORY: Villanova opened as 4.5-point favorites and steady action on the Wildcats has pushed that number up to -5. The total hit betting boards at 153 and has been dropped slightly to 152.3.

BETTING STATS:

http://i68.tinypic.com/14096kj.jpg

ABOUT WEST VIRGINIA: The Mountaineers are a better offensive team than they typically are, although their defense isn't the top 20 unit that coach Bob Huggins has had many times throughout his career. Senior guard Jevon Carter is the team's on-court leader and has maintained that status through the first two rounds of the tournament, averaging 24.5 points, 6.5 assists, 5.5 steals and 4.5 rebounds on 54.3 percent shooting. "We're just happy to keep playing," Carter told reporters. "This is March. This is what we came to do. We don't just want to go to the Sweet 16 - we want to win it all, go back, prepare for Villanova, watch a lot of film, and get ready for the next game."

ABOUT VILLANOVA: The Wildcats only made eight two-pointers against Radford but thankfully went 17-of-41 from 3-point range in the second round with Bridges (five), Donte DiVincenzo (five) and Jalen Brunson (three) doing the heavy lifting from long distance. Brunson has recovered from a brutal February from 3-point range to shoot 50 percent from the arc over the last six contests. Booth averages 10.6 points but has only totaled 14 in the last three games, while DiVincenzo also endured a quiet stretch before scoring 18 points - his most in a month - against the Crimson Tide.

MATCHUP CHART:

http://i65.tinypic.com/bg5lsk.jpg

TRENDS:

* Mountaineers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
* Wildcats are 8-1 ATS in their last 9 neutral site games.
* Over is 7-1 in Mountaineers' last 8 overall.
* Under is 8-2 in Wildcats' last 10 vs. Big 12.

CONSENSUS: Consensus data is showing 65 percent of bettors taking the favorites from Villanova, while 60 percent of totals wagers are on the Over.




(3) Texas Tech Red Raiders vs (2) Purdue Boilermakers (-1.5, 137.5)

Purdue and Texas Tech last met on a basketball court in 1988 at Municipal Coliseum in Lubbock. But the Boilermakers, seeded No. 2 in the East Regional, have a much more recent history with the coach of Friday night's Sweet Sixteen opponent at TD Garden Arena in Boston, Chris Beard of the third-seeded Red Raiders.

It was just two years ago when Beard's 12th-seeded Arkansas-Little Rock squad overcame a 13-point deficit in the final 3:33 or regulation to pull off a 85-85 double overtime upset of the fifth-seeded Boilermakers in first round of the Midwest Regional in Denver. "Every team is different, that was two years ago," Beard told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. "I don't think there's really any similarities. ... What I see from Purdue is just a really well-coached team. They're a team that's been in this position before. We're a team that's new to this as a unit." Senior forward Vincent Edwards had 24 points and 13 rebounds in 41 minutes in the loss for the Boilermakers while guard Dakota Mathias (12 points), center Isaac Haas (seven points) and guards P.J. Thompson (five points) and Ryan Cline also saw substantial action. "I don't know if there's much you take from that," Purdue coach Matt Painter said. "It's just that you're going to have to go in there and compete and play hard and rebound the basketball."

TV: 9:57 p.m. ET, TBS

LINE HISTORY: Purdue opened as 1.5-point favorites and as of Friday night that number has not moved. The total hit betting boards at 137.5 and also remains on the opening number.

BETTING STATS:

http://i65.tinypic.com/taqvkj.jpg

ABOUT TEXAS TECH: The Red Raiders lead the nation with seven top-25 wins and have done it with a defense that leads the Big 12 in points allowed (64.6) and field goal percentage defense (40.2). Senior guard Keenan Evans leads the team in scoring (17.8) and assists (3.2) and is the first Red Raider since former All-American Jarrius Jackson (2003-07) to earn first team all-Big 12 honors. Freshman guard Jarrett Culver is second in scoring (11.5) while another freshman guard, Zhaire Smith (11.3), also is averaging in double figures while shooting 44.4 percent from 3-point range and has been one of the stars of the tournament for Tech, flirting with a triple-double with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists in Saturday's 69-66 second round victory over No. 6 seed Florida.

ABOUT PURDUE: The Boilers got past Butler, 76-73, in the second round despite the loss of the 7-foot-2 Haas to a fractured right elbow suffered in the team's 74-48 first round win over Cal State Fullerton, but the finalist for the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award that goes to the nation's top center, who averages 14.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, was showing off a special elbow brace designed by some of the school's mechanical engineering students that he hopes the NCAA will approve so he can try and play Friday. "I don't see him playing," Painter said at a Thursday press conference. "Until he can practice and show me a right-handed free throw and get a rebound with two hands. The last two days he hasn't practiced so I don't see it." Purdue ranks second in the nation in 3-point shooting percentage (42.1) with sophomore guard Carsen Edwards, who leads the team in scoring (18.2), Vincent Edwards (14.7), Mathias (12.3) and Thompson (7.4) all shooting 40 percent or better from 3-point range.

MATCHUP CHART:

* Boilermakers are 3-12-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.
* Under is 12-4 in Red Raiders' last 16 neutral site games.
* Over is 6-1 in Boilermakers' last 7 NCAA Tournament games.

Sportsbook:
Bookmaker

This game features the 26-36-12 Montreal and the 23-38-12 Sabers. Montreal looks to get out of a 4 game funk and there team is light years ahead of Buffalo as far as talent goes and we are seeing a money move go down on Buffalo yet the books are asking for more cash as the plus money rises for the Sabers. We are going to follow the sharp money with a nice 15* play on Montreal.

NCAA-B | Syracuse vs Duke
Play on: UNDER 133½ -105

Free pick n Syracuse/Duke UNDER
I'm recommending a play on the UNDER in Friday's Sweet 16 action between Duke and Syracuse. Duke has put on an offensive clinic in their first two games of the Tournament, as they put up 89 on Iona and 87 on Rhode Island. Both games combined for at least 149 points.
What will get overlooked by a lot of the public is just how great the Blue Devils were defensively. Duke held Iona to 67 points and Rhode Island to 62. Those are two really good offensive teams that like to push the pace. They also don't have the size to make things difficult on Duke defensive, which is why I think we are going to see a much lower output from the Blue Devils against the Orange.
Syracuse knows that it doesn't have the offensive fire-power to win games in a shootout, which is why they have been playing at a snails pace in the tournament. They want to limit the number of possessions and try and get their opponent out of sync. It worked to perfection in their last game, as they beat Michigan St 55-53. The game before that they held TCU to 52 and Arizona St to 56.
Let's also not overlook the earlier meeting in conference play. Duke really had to grind out a 60-44 win (Orange hung around for most of the game). That game had a combined 104 points, which is basically 30-points below the total here. I could see a little more offense, but not by much, as these are two of the best defensive teams in the country. Take the UNDER!

The Boston Celtics are pretty much locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. They are 4.5 games behind the Raptors and 6.5 games ahead of the third-place Cavs. They don’t have much to play for as a result with just 11 games to go.
That’s why they have been content sitting three starters due to injury. They are playing without Kyrie Irving, Marcus Smart and Jaylen Brown right now. They have lost three of their last five coming in and were extremely fortunate to beat the Thunder at home last time out, trailing by 5 with 24 seconds left and pulling out a miracle.
The Blazers are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. They are 13-1 SU & 12-2 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Their only loss came to the Houston Rockets by 4 points last time out. Now they’ve had two days off since that loss and will be rested and ready to start a new streak at home tonight.
Portland is 9-0 ATS in its last nine games vs. a team with a winning record. The Blazers are 18-2 SU & 18-2 ATS in their last 20 home games. Bet the Blazers Friday.

Texas Tech vs Purdue Over 137
This play just missed out on our premium card. The Purdue Boilermakers and the Texas Tech Red Raiders face off on Friday and in this game the over has the value.
For the Boilermakers, they are a team that likes to push the pace and over the last five games they are averaging 75.2 points per game.
They will be facing a Red Raiders team who has struggled at times against teams who like to push the pace like the Jayhawks.
In this game it will be a close game, but the Boilermakers will be able to push the pace and that will push it to the over.
Back the Over.

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 this game there is no doubt that the recent play of Kansas is particularly significant. The Jayhawks come in as winners of nine of their last 10, and they have covered the spread in seven of those nine wins. Clemson is coming off a blowout win over Auburn, and that might set them up for a let down here in the Sweet 16.
Key Trends:
- The Tigers are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 versus the Big 12.
- The Jayhawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 versus the Atlantic Coast.
- The Jayhawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games.
Verdict: Take Kansas -4

Play on: Villanova -5 -105 at BetPhoenix

Take Villanova (#872)
West Virginia was a good bet last weekend against a pair of lesser foes, knocking off Murray State in the opener, followed by a rout of outclassed Marshall in the Round of 32. That was then; this is now.
The Mountaineers shot 52% from the floor and forced 16 Murray State turnovers in that victory. Against Marshall, it was 50% shooting and 18 forced turnovers to go along with their +18 edge on the boards. Don’t expect a similar result in any of those statistical categories in tonight’s Sweet 16 showdown versus Villanova.
Bob Huggins has only one gameplan. West Virginia likes to disrupt opposing offenses with their press, leading to easy transition buckets at the other end of the court. That’s why their season long offensive efficiency numbers are rock solid –easy layups and dunks and wide open three pointers in transition opportunities off turnovers have inflated those numbers.
When you put West Virginia in a half court setting, this offense doesn’t execute at a particularly high level. And when the Mountaineers get into a game with a team that doesn’t turn the ball over, it can get downright ugly for Huggy Bear’s squad.
Villanova doesn’t turn the ball over. With veteran stud Jalen Brunson handling the basketball, the Wildcats finished the season ranked #11 in the country at fewest offensive possessions that end in turnovers and #8 in the country at the fewest offensive possessions that end in steals. Basically, I don’t expect West Virginia’s press to work here – Brunson is not likely to turn the ball over in bunches.
And that sets up a real problem for West Virginia when it comes to halfcourt defense. For the season, the Mountaineers ranked #300 in effective three point shooting defense. All that pressing and trapping leads to wide open shooters when the press breaks down. And Villanova is a truly elite offensive team, more than capable of knocking down open looks from beyond the arc.
The numbers do not lie. Jay Wright’s veteran squad has posted truly elite offensive efficiency numbers all year – as good or better than ANY college basketball team over the last decade. This ‘Nova team ranks among the true ‘class’ teams in college basketball this season, with SIX double digit scorers now that Phil Booth is healthy at the point again. Despite all the tight finishes and underdog winners in early Big Dance action, this is one spot where laying the points is wholly warranted. Take Villanova.

Therefore, the only chance that they have is to really slow the game down and keep Duke under 60 points. Syracuse has done this in three straight NCAA Tournament games and they do have some size to match-up with Carter and Bagley down low.

The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks will be without Giannis tonight, but they have enough to get the win and cover against the tanking Bulls tonight. The Bulls are resting all of their best players. They have lost 3 in a row coming in, including an 18-point loss at New York and a 33-point home loss to Denver in their last two games. If that’s not the sign of a tanking team I don’t know what is. The Bucks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Take Milwaukee.

Play on: Bucks -5 -101 at 5Dimes

Who is the worst team in the NBA right now? As bad as the Suns, Grizzlies and Hawks are, my choice is the Bulls. This wouldn't be the case if the Bulls were healthy. But without their three best players - Kris Dunn, Lauri Markkanen and Zach LaVine - the Bulls are a JV team. And a bad one at that. The Suns at least have Devin Booker. The Grizzlies have Marc Gasol. The Hawks have Dennis Schroder. Who do the Bulls have left? This is Chicago's starting lineup: Cameron Payne, Justin Holiday, Denzel Valentin, Paul Zipser and Cristian Felicio. That reads more like a law office than a starting NBA roster. Denver was 11-23 on the road and minus its leading scorer, Gary Harris, when it played the Bulls at United Center two days ago. The Nuggets won by 33 points. The Bucks aren't likely to have Giannis Antetokounmpo for this game. Antetokounmpo suffered a sprained ankle in the Bucks' last game this past Wednesday. The Bucks don't need their star player, however, to bury the Bulls. Milwaukee still will have the three best players on the court in Kris Middleton, Eric Bledsoe and Jabari Parker. The Bucks also have the far superior bench. Now let's come to motivation, which is crucial at this late juncture of the season. The Bucks are clinging to a playoff spot. They can't afford a loss to the lowly Bulls. Not with a home game on tap against the Spurs followed by a four-game West Coast trip. There's no guarantee either that Antetokonumpo will return to the lineup soon. So the Bucks aren't going to screw around here. They will rally around their superstar being out and easily defeat this patsy. Chicago's incentive? Below the surface it's to increase its chances of getting a higher draft lottery pick. That's why the Bulls aren't in any rush to get their best players back on the court. It's why they are playing 10 people, but not veteran Robin Lopez, their best center. This series has a road team bias, too, with the visitor covering the past six times.

Kansas -5
Kansas holds a nice edge on Clemson here Friday night, making them worth a flyer in this spot.
The Jayhawks situationally are in such a nice spot.
For starters, they have dominated the ACC as of late. The Jayhawks enter Friday 5-1 ATS in their last 6 against the conference. That dominance comes from their depth and ability to really control the paint, something ACC teams lack of doing.
Along with that, Clemson has been a struggle against the Big 12. The Tigers have gone 0-4 ATS in their last 4 against the conference.
Some trends to note. Jayhawks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. Jayhawks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 NCAA Tournament games.
Look for Kansas to really dominate inside, getting Clemson on edge early.
Back Kansas.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

The total in this clash has dipped three points to 217.5 and there are two ways to look at what happened. One, the adjustment is incorrect as both teams have shown a recent tendency toward playing Over's. The other way to view this total is the road/home comparison, with Denver at 218.2 total points and Washington at 215. So what side is correct? I'll side with the OVER with the Nuggets on a 16-5 OVER run and the Wizards 8-1 OVER when playing only their second game in five days.

Play on: OVER 137 -105

Take Over the Total in the game between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Purdue Boilermakers. I have a suspicion that this game may turn into a small-ball battle — and that will facilitate a fast tempo with plenty of scoring on both sides at the expense of defense. Head coach Matt Painter has had a week now to formulate a new game plan after Isaac Haas broke his elbow last week in their game with Cal-State Fullerton. His backup, Matt Harms is a better player on defense (which is why I am not making this an official play for clients) — but he might not offer enough on offense to complement the Boilermakers’ outstanding perimeter players. Purdue has played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total in the NCAA Tournament — and the Over is 23-7-1 in their last 31 games played on a neutral court. Don’t be surprised if Chris Beard deploys a small lineup himself that features his rising star in Zach Smith playing the 5 position. Texas Tech (26-9) has comes off a 69-65 win over Florida that finished above the 133.5 point total — and they have then played 9 of their last 13 games Over the Total. The Red Raiders have also played 19 of their last 28 games Over the Total when playing just their second game in eight days. Take the Over. Best of luck for us — Frank.

I'm recommending a play on Villanova minus the points on Friday. West Virginia rolled over Murray State and Marshall, but now it faces a giant leap in class in Villanova, which has won seven straight while covering five of its last six games. The Wildcats had no trouble in either of its first two tournament games against Radford and Alabama and the trio of Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson and Donte DiVincenzo combined for 53 of the 81 points against the Crimson Tide, which was held to 41.7 percent shooting. The Mountaineers have shown some lapses this season, especially away from home, and they shoot only 43.8 percent compared to 50.3 percent for Villanova, which also make 40.2 percent of its 3-point attempts. Villanova is 8-1 ATS its last nine neutral site games and 8-2 ATS its last 10 NCAA Tournament games. We recommend a play on Villanova minus the points on Friday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #3 Free Pick New Jersey Devils Money Line (+) @ Pittsburgh Penguins @ 7:05 ET - No doubt that the two-time defending champs are, of course, a great team. But they're laying 2 to 1 odds here against a Devils team that has already beaten them in both meetings this season and it was no fluke. New Jersey outshot Pittsburgh by a combined 76-54 in the two games. Also, the Penguins are off of a win but they've managed consecutive wins just once (in this case a 3-game streak) in the past month! Prior to their win versus Montreal, the Pens had lost 6 of their 11 prior games. While the Penguins are in a very solid spot, at least in terms of making the playoffs, the Devils are in a very tight spot and the much more desperate team when it comes to earning points. Couple that with the fact that the Penguins have a huge game with the Flyers on deck and I expect New Jersey to prove to be the hungrier team here. While it is true that the Devils are off of back to back losses on the West Coast, it is also true that prior to that they had won 7 of their 9 previous road games! Also, Keith Kinkaid will be in goal for New Jersey here and he has been rock solid in recent starts. The Devils also have won 10 of his 15 divisional games this season. The Penguins have been "spotty" with their play in their own end as they've allowed 3 goals or more in 5 of their last 6 games including at least 4 goals in all 3 losses. This is a great value spot with a huge dog as Pittsburgh is priced far too high given the situation. Free Pick NEW JERSEY

10* FREE NBA PICK (Bucks -5)
My money is on the Bucks to cover here on the road against the Bulls. I know Milwaukee will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, but I don't think it's going to matter. While the Bucks lost their last game when Antetokounmpo (played only 17 minutes) suffered the injury, they still managed to put up 120 points on 55% shooting.
Milwaukee simply can't afford to take a night off because their star player is out, especially against a team as bad as the Bulls. The Bucks need every win they can get, as they are sitting 8th in the east standings. The good news is Chicago is in full on tank mode and just don't have the talent right now with Dunn, LaVine and potentially Markkanen (questionable) all out of the lineup. Last time out they lost at home to the Nuggets by 23 points and that's a Denver team that hasn't played well on the road (I cashed on the Nuggets -9). This is simply too good a price to pass up when it comes to fading the Bulls right now. Give me the Bucks -5!

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The short-handed Golden State Warriors were held to a season-low for points in Monday's 89-75 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, and under is 8-2 in their last 10 overall.
The Warriors are expected to have Stephen Curry back from a six-game absence here when they host the Atlanta Hawks Friday night, but they'll still be without All-Star shooting guard Klay Thompson (fractured thumb) and All-Star small forward Kevin Durant (rib).
The tanking Hawks most likely have no interest in running up and down the court playing on no rest following a loss at Sacramento last night, and we can note that under is 9-1 in Hawks last 10 road games.
My free pick is on ATL @ GS to go UNDER the total.
