NBA | Nuggets vs Celtics
Play on: Celtics -3 -110 at BMaker

T.M. Selection: Boston Celtics (FREE PLAY)
Denver has split its last eight games. The Nuggets average 112 PPG and they allow 107. A strength earlier in the season, playing on the road has been difficult for Denver of late as it comes in having lost five of its last six away from friendly confines. Boston enters playing its best ball of the year, having won five of its last six. The C’s average 112.8 PPG and they allow 107.5. Note that Boston has won four of its last five at home as well. And finally note that Denver is just 13-19 ATS on the road this season. I like Boston to continue its improvement as the campaign winds down and I expect it to take advantage of the home floor. Consider the home side in this one.
T.M. Prediction: 116-107 Boston.

Mahoning Valley Race Course - Race #7 - Post: 3:33pm - Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Dirt. Purse: $11,000 Class Rating: 60

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#6 BEST DRESSED (ML=3/1)
#9 LET'ER EAT (ML=5/1)


BEST DRESSED - When this jockey and conditioner team up you have to take a look. Gonzalez and Buttigieg have been great together. I look for this horse to sit chilly and make a big move on the turn, cruising straight on to the finish line. This filly is rounding her way back into shape. Should race well today. LET'ER EAT - The fact that this filly is entered right back into a race so quickly means she's fit and ready. Look at this filly's PP lines. With each race she keeps getting closer. Short brings her back again. I recommend you stay with this strong filly. A repeat of that recent race on Mar 12th where she garnered a speed fig of 49 looks lofty enough to triumph in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 DRAGONESS (ML=6/5), #7 TIZ MATTIE (ML=8/1),

DRAGONESS - Improbable that the speed figure she notched on Mar 9th will be good enough in this contest. TIZ MATTIE - The sixth place finish position in the last race was not the best.

Bet on #6 BEST DRESSED to win if you can get at least 7/5 odds

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 4 SMART RAGS 9/2

# 1A ROANIE 2/1

# 6 BACKSTRETCH GEORGE 3/1

SMART RAGS looks competitive to best this field. Looks competitive for the conditions of this contest today, showing solid figures in dirt route races recently. Lately Carmouche has been scorching which may give the edge to this gelding. Has very good speed figures and has to be considered for a bet for this race. ROANIE - Over time, this trainer has a decent ROI at this distance/surface. Looks to have a formidable class edge based on the latest company kept. BACKSTRETCH GEORGE - Is a sharp contender based on numbers recorded as of late under today's conditions. Keep this gelding in your exotics as Bracho has given backers some double digit dividends.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 3 OH NEWMAN 10/1

# 4 SUM CANDY 6/1

# 2 MARK YE WELL 8/1

My pick for this event is OH NEWMAN and is a formidable value-based wager given the 10/1 line. He has recorded formidable figures under today's conditions and will almost certainly fare well versus this field. This animal is in the upper half of this group of horses in earnings per start at the distance/surface. SUM CANDY - Ought to be given a shot based on the decent speed rating earned in the last contest. Recent numbers for the jock - 34 win percent - make this gelding stand out in this group. MARK YE WELL - Boasts reliable Equibase speed figs on average overall when measured up against the rest of this group. Don't let this gelding slip past you. Could win at a big price.

#4 SMART RAGS (ML=9/2)
#6 BACKSTRETCH GEORGE (ML=3/1)


SMART RAGS - This jockey and trainer have a fantastic winning percent when they work together. This is a classic 'Lone Front-runner' scenario. If Carmouche gets him out of the gate cleanly it'll likely be smooth sailing. Guerrero has an 'uncoupled' entry here. Best to watch out for the longer priced half. BACKSTRETCH GEORGE - Another way to judge class is earnings per start. This thoroughbred has the highest in the field. I think he'll be close at the finish line. I like the hard fact that this gelding's last speed figure, 71, is tops in this group. Three consecutive improved speed ratings (50-63-71) make this animal a solid contender.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 TOMMY'S TOP CAT (ML=2/1), #1A ROANIE (ML=2/1), #5 CONTINGENT PAYMENT (ML=7/2),

TOMMY'S TOP CAT - Didn't land in the money on Feb 11th at Parx Racing. Followed it up with another less than stellar try. Finished fifth in his most recent effort with a most unsatisfactory rating. When I look at today's Equibase class figure, it would take an improved performance to triumph after that in this bunch. ROANIE - This entrant hasn't been on the track since Jan 28th. Not even any morning drills. The fifth place result in the last race was not the greatest. The speed rating last race out doesn't fit very well in this affair when I look at the class figure of today's event. Mark this horse as a vulnerable competitor. CONTINGENT PAYMENT - This racer didn't do too much last time finishing sixth. Don't see any hint of improvement today. Pace makes the race and an absence of speed means this rallier will have to rally without any help.

Monday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Game of the Night - Golden State (-3, 224) at San Antonio, 8:05 ET, ESPN

Considering how poorly the Rodeo road trip went – the Spurs went 1-7 in their worst showing on what is annually their longest trek – Gregg Popovich and his team were written off for the 642,574th time over the past decade. This time, it figured to stick.

Kawhi Leonard is in Toronto with Danny Green. Tony Parker is producing in Charlotte. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili have retired.

San Antonio looked done after getting swept by the Knicks and Nets by double-digits three weeks ago. It had dropped its first three games coming out of the All-Star break and were overwhelmed in New York as a 9-point favorite and 1.5-point underdog. Even on the second night of a back-to-back, catching points in Brooklyn isn’t something typically associated with Western Conference powers. The Spurs were officially done.

So, naturally, they got back home after losing to the Nets and beat the Pistons. San Antonio then took out the Thunder and Nuggets. It hasn’t lost since that Feb. 25 setback in Brooklyn. The Spurs put an eight-game winning streak, currently the longest in the NBA, on the line against Golden State. You’re not going to read that this is a potential conference finals preview. In that sense, Pop’s team continues to be overlooked as a true contender, but it’s hard to dismiss what we’ve seen from them in making it to this point in March as the only team not to taste a loss this month.

The Spurs have defeated the Bucks and Trail Blazers at home on this run in addition to getting revenge on the Knicks, so they’ve actually won 10 straight at AT&T Center. San Antonio’s last loss in its building came on Jan. 20 against the Clippers. The Spurs are 8-1 at home as a pick’em or underdog this season, winning seven straight games in that role. That’s important to know because the Warriors are going to be favored here, getting forward Kevin Durant back from a two-game absence after spraining an ankle. Golden State went out and beat the Rockets and Thunder, arguably the top threats to their Western Conference supremacy, on the road without him.

Improved defense has been the reason both of these teams have persevered of late. San Antonio has led the NBA in scoring defense during its eight-game surge, giving up 99.8 points per 100 possessions. Golden State clamped down and held the Rockets to 104 points, Houston’s second-lowest output since February began, before visiting Oklahoma City on Saturday night and surrendering just 88 points, the fewest the Thunder have managed since Feb. 8, 2018.

After losing at home to the Suns as a 17-point favorite in a game memorable due to cameras catching Steve Kerr commenting on how tired he is of Draymond Green’s schtick -- or something like that – Golden State has turned things around, killing the narrative that it might indeed be vulnerable. That they’ve done it with Durant watching is even more impressive, since he was not the issue with their inconsistency. The Warriors are just fine, and when they want to defend, they’re virtually unbeatable.

The Spurs have been solid with first-year starting point guard Derrick White in the mix since he’s turned into a standout defender, filling the role that Dejounte Murray was supposed to play before he tore his ACL in the preseason. White missed all but two games on the Spurs’ ill-fated roadie with a heel injury but has since returned to play every game on their current run, averaging 13 points and nearly six assists while shooting over 52 percent from the field and close to 37 percent from 3-point range. Popovich has made no secret of his importance and anyone who watches the Spurs regularly can attest to the impact he has on the team with his pace and defense.

He’s played just 18 minutes off the bench against Golden State this season, participating in the 104-92 home win back on Nov. 18 that featured neither Stephen Curry, Green or DeMarcus Cousins, so we’ll really only be able to gage his impact in helping defend Curry and Klay Thompson tonight. White’s foot issues kept him out against the Warriors in the lone meeting in Oakland, a 141-102 loss on Feb. 6 you can flush down the toilet since LaMarcus Aldridge, DeMar DeRozan and White all sat out.

It’s still possible that this winds up being the 1-8 matchup in the West, so it will be interesting to see how Popovich attacks this game, particularly since his team is playing their best basketball of the season and Durant is returning to make the Warriors whole. San Antonio is 12 games over .500 for the first time this season and showcased its depth as seven players scored in double-figures in Saturday’s night win over Portland. Despite Denver carrying a three-game winning streak into tonight’s visit to Boston, Golden State owns a one-game lead in the conference. The Spurs are currently sixth, a half-game up on the Jazz and Clippers and just 1.5 games behind the Blazers for fourth. They trail the Rockets in the Southwest Division by just three games with 12 to go and will visit Houston on Friday night, making this a massive week.

We’ll see if they can take advantage of Durant potentially needing to knock off a little rust in order to pull off another surprise here, but it’s surely getting expensive to continue fading the Spurs if that’s what you’ve been doing since the Rodeo road trip. San Antonio has covered in seven of eight. The ‘under’ has prevailed in eight of nine involving the Spurs and nine of 10 games featuring Golden State, including each of the last seven.

Best of the Rest

Utah at Washington, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Wizards are running out of time to salvage what has thus far been an ill-fated season, coming into the week 3.5 games behind Miami for the Southeast Division lead and the East's final playoff berth. Bradley Beal has been on a tear and has scored 40 points in consecutive games, shooting 16-for-25 from 3-point range, so the Wizards can hop on his back again to try and take down a Jazz team opening a four-game Eastern road swing that will also see them visit the Knicks, Hawks and Bulls. Utah is looking to surge into the West's top four by taking care of business on a trip in which they'll be favored in every game.

Denver at Boston, 7:35 p.m. ET: Nikola Jokic got thrown out of the Nuggets' 102-100 Saturday night win over the Pacers and has now been tossed by Tony Brothers all three times he's been ejected from an NBA game. Fortunately for Jokic, Brothers won't be on this game as Denver opens a four-game road trip against the Celtics. Denver will play six of its next seven away from home against a very challenging schedule that features only one non-playoff team, so we'll see what its made of over the next few weeks as it looks to hold on to the Northwest Division lead it has enjoyed for months. Al Horford is expected to play through knee soreness for Boston, but Gordon Hayward is considered doubtful with a neck issue.

Miami at Oklahoma City, 8:05 p.m. ET: The Heat locked in defensively and held Charlotte to just 75 points on Sunday afternoon, marking the second time in three games that they've held an opponent in the 70s. It was even more impressive that they held it down without Justise Winslow, who is dealing with a thigh injury that may keep him out again here. Miami catches a huge break not having to deal with Russell Westbrook, who is suspended for amassing 16 technical fouls this season after picking up the penalty-clinching T in Saturday's loss to the Warriors. The Heat are plenty familiar with Paul George and Dennis Schroder, whose roles as catalysts will now be heightened in Westbrook's absence.

Indiana at Portland, 10:35 p.m. ET: The Blazers got encouraging news regarding CJ McCollum's knee injury suffered late Saturday night since it's not expected to be season-ending, but they'll need to make due without him and will be relying on Rodney Hood to help fill in. The Pacers know all about replacing a standout shooting guard since Victor Oladipo is rehabbing away from the team in South Florida after his own knee injury. Wes Matthews has done a nice job filling in defensively but is nowhere near the same type of threat on the offensive end, requiring Bojan Bogdanovic to be more aggressive in looking to score. The Pacers opened a tough four-game road trip with a 102-100 loss in Denver and are just one game up on the Celtics for the No. 4 spot in the East in what's looking increasingly likely to be a first-round matchup come postseason.

Early bettors leap on Oregon odds vs. Wisconsin in NCAA Tournament
Patrick Everson

All the lines are up for the NCAA Tournament’s First Four, and more important for the 28 matchups set among the 32 games of March Madness scheduled for Thursday and Friday. We delve into the opening lines and early action for two games in each region deemed the most intriguing by the oddsmaking team at The SuperBook at Westgate.

SOUTH REGION

No. 12 Oregon vs. No. 5 Wisconsin Badgers (-1.5)

Oregon is on an 8-0 SU and ATS streak, including a four-wins-in-four-days run as the No. 6 seed in the Pac-12 tournament. The Ducks (23-12 SU, 20-15 ATS) capped that run with a 68-48 blasting of No. 1 seed Washington as 2-point favorites in Saturday’s final.

Wisconsin won four of its last five regular-season games to finish fourth in the Big Ten. The Badgers (23-10 SU, 16-16-1 ATS) then edged Nebraska in the conference tourney quarterfinals before falling to No. 1 seed Michigan State 67-55 as 5.5-point underdogs in Saturday’s semis.

“This opened at Wisconsin -1.5, and it’s already at Oregon -1,” SuperBook supervisor Derek Wilkinson told Covers late Sunday evening. “We debated on who to favor in this game, just because we weren’t sure which way the public would sway. We’ve already taken some sharp action on Oregon and the line has moved pretty dramatically. I think it’ll get up to around Oregon -2 or -2.5 by game day.”

That would be Friday, in a 4:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

No. 14 Old Dominion Monarchs vs. No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers (-12)

Purdue earned the No. 2 seed and a double-bye in the Big Ten tournament, but made it no further than that. The Boilermakers (23-9 SU, 17-14-1 ATS) tumbled to No. 7 seed Minnesota 75-73 laying 9.5 points in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Old Dominion lived up to its No. 1 seed and won the Conference USA tournament. The Monarchs (26-8 SU, 15-19 ATS) beat Western Kentucky 62-56 as 2.5-point underdogs in Saturday’s final.

“The market has moved this line up to -12.5, but I’m not sold on it,” Wilkinson said. “I think we’re going to get some late sharp money on Old Dominion once that line moves a little higher. Old Dominion has impressed me this season, and I think 12 is too many points for the Monarchs to get.”

Late Sunday night, the number dipped back to the opener of Purdue -12 in a 9:50 p.m. ET Thursday game.

EAST REGION

No. 10 Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. No. 7 Louisville Cardinals (-4.5)

Louisville struggled late in the regular season in the rugged Atlantic Coast Conference, losing seven of its last 10 games (4-6 ATS). The Cardinals (20-13 SU, 17-14-2 ATS) righted the ship a bit in the ACC tournament, routing Notre Dame 75-53 as 8-point favorites before losing to North Carolina 83-70 as 7-point underdogs in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

Minnesota pulled two upsets, one mild and one bigger, in the Big Ten tournament to help secure an NCAA bid. The Golden Gophers (21-13 SU, 17-17 ATS) topped Penn State 77-72 in overtime as 3-point pups, then knocked out Purdue 75-73 as 9.5-point ‘dogs. Minnesota then ran out of steam as 9.5-point underdogs to Michigan, losing 76-49 in Saturday’s semifinals.

“A lot of Minnesota haters in this back room,” Wilkinson said of the gang of four – led by sportsbook manager Ed Salmons – who set the opening lines at The SuperBook. “The sharp money is on Louisville for sure. We’ve already taken some limit bets on the Cardinals, from both wiseguys and house players. I’m anticipating this line to go up over the next couple of days.”

Shortly after opening at Louisville -4.5, The SuperBook moved to -5 for this 12:15 p.m. ET Thursday meeting.

No. 14 Yale Bulldogs vs. No. 3 Louisiana State Tigers (-8)

Louisiana State won the Southeastern Conference’s regular-season title, but bowed out in its first game of the conference tourney. The Tigers (26-6 SU, 19-12-1 ATS) lost to Florida 76-73 as 3.5-point favorites in Friday’s quarterfinals.

Yale finished second in the Ivy League’s regular-season standings, but was first when it counted. The Bulldogs (22-7 SU, 16-12 ATS) won both games in the league tourney, including a 97-85 victory laying 4 points against No. 1 seed Harvard in Sunday’s final to nab the automatic NCAA bid.

LSU opened -8 at The SuperBook, but Yale money knocked the number down a tick to 7.5 for a 12:40 p.m. ET Thursday contest.

“We’ve seen some smaller, sharp bets on Yale,” Wilkinson said. “No big bets yet, but I think this line is going to drop some more. I wouldn’t be surprised if Yale wins outright. The public will be on LSU, just because it’s a big name, but the smart money is on Yale in this one.”

MIDWEST REGION

No. 11 Ohio State Buckeyes vs. No. 6 Iowa State Cyclones (-6)

Iowa State entered the Big 12 tournament as the No. 5 seed and exited with the championship trophy, winning three games in three nights. In Saturday’s final, the Cyclones (23-11 SU, 18-14-2 ATS) breezed by Kansas 78-66 as 1.5-point favorites.

Ohio State ended the Big Ten regular season with a thud, losing three in a row and six of its last eight. The Buckeyes (19-14 SU, 14-19 ATS) bounced back with a 79-75 win over Indiana as 2-point faves to open the conference tournament, then lost to Michigan State 77-70 catching 10.5 points in the quarterfinals.

“We’ve taken some house money on Iowa State, but I’m looking for the upset in this one,” Wilkinson said, while noting the line remains on the opener of Cyclones -6. “I think we’ll get some sharp money on Ohio State soon, and that line will come down some.”

Game time is 9:50 p.m. ET Friday.

No. 12 New Mexico State Aggies vs. No. 5 Auburn Tigers (-7.5)

Just like Oregon in the Pac-12, Auburn made a four-wins-in-four-days run through the SEC tournament, from the No. 5 spot. The Tigers (26-9 SU, 18-15-1 ATS) finished with an 84-64 pounding of No. 3 seed Tennessee as 2.5-point pups Sunday and have now won eight straight.

New Mexico State lost on Jan. 3 and hasn’t tasted defeat since, going 19-0 SU (9-9 ATS). The Aggies won the Western Athletic Conference regular-season crown and rolled through the tournament, capped by an 89-57 boatracing of Grand Canyon as 4-point favorites Saturday.

“We’ve taken a few smaller sharp plays on New Mexico State, and the line has dropped a little,” Wilkinson said of a shift from Auburn -7.5 to -7. “I think the public action will be pretty evenly split on these two, but the sharps will like New Mexico State. Personally, I like Auburn, but then again, my Twitter handle is @derek2square for a reason.”

Tip time is 1:30 p.m. ET Thursday.

WEST REGION

No. 10 Florida Gators vs. No. 7 Nevada Wolf Pack (-2.5)

Nevada got a lot of national chatter early in the season, but lost some luster after three setbacks in its last eight games as it failed to reach the Mountain West Conference final. The Wolf Pack (29-4 SU, 17-14-1 ATS) entered the MWC semis as 10.5-point favorites against San Diego State, but lost outright 65-56 Friday.

Florida made a charge from the No. 8 spot in the SEC tournament to get the attention of the NCAA selection committee. The Gators (19-15 SU, 16-18 ATS) rolled over Arkansas in the tourney opener, then stunned No. 1 LSU 76-73 as 3.5-point quarterfinal ‘dogs. Florida then gave Auburn a strong go before bowing out in the semis 65-62 getting 3.5 points.

“We’ve already taken some sharp action on Florida,” Wilkinson said. “The line hasn’t moved, just because we know we always get a lot of local money on Nevada. Personally, I think the Gators are going to win this game, and I imagine that line will drop a little, despite getting public money on Nevada.”

Later Sunday evening, the line indeed ticked down to Nevada -2 for a 6:50 p.m. ET start Thursday.

No. 15 Montana Grizzlies vs. No. 2 Michigan Wolverines (-15.5)

Michigan was the No. 3 seed in the Big Ten tournament and fell short in the title game, but still nabbed a No. 2 seed in the West. The Wolverines (28-6 SU, 19-15 ATS) opened the conference tourney with two blowout wins, but blew a double-digit second half lead to Michigan State in Sunday’s final, losing 65-60 as 1.5 point favorites.

Montana won the Big Sky Conference regular-season and tournament titles. The Grizzlies (26-8 SU, 14-18 ATS) beat Eastern Washington 68-62 laying 5.5 points in Saturday’s final.

“Although I’m confident Michigan is going to win, 16 is a lot of points,” Wilkinson said. “We took a sharp bet on Montana earlier, but I think that’s just because the spread is so high. I’d look for this line to drop a little more and maybe settle around 14 or 14.5.”

Two hours after the move to Michigan -16, the line dipped back to the opener of 15.5 for a 9:20 p.m. ET Thursday tipoff.

Following are the opening and current lines for the Tuesday-Wednesday First Four round and the rest of the Thursday-Friday first-round games:

Play on: Pistons -6½ -110 at pinnacle

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Detroit Pistons -6.5
Few teams are playing as well as the Detroit Pistons over the past month-plus. The Pistons are 14-4 SU & 13-5 ATS in their last 18 games overall. They should make easy work of the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight as well. It’s a Cavs team that is really banged up right now playing without Nance Jr, Thompson, Dellavedova, Smith and Henson, and they could be without Love tonight, who is questionable. The Cavs have lost five of their last six and will have a hard time being competitive with all these injuries. Give me the Pistons.

NBA | Nuggets vs Celtics
Play on: UNDER 221 -103

MIKE LUNDIN'S NUGGETS @ CELTICS FREE PICK
The Boston Celtics have won five of their last six but have their work cut out for them Monday night as the Denver Nuggets, one of the best from the West, will pay a visit to TD Garden.
The Nuggets have allowed an average of just 102 ppg through a three-game winning streak and under is 10-1 in their last 11 overall. The Celtics are coming off four high-scoring contests as they've been beating up on teams with losing records, but under is 6-0 in Celtics last six games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Celtics' center Al Horford and forward Gordon Hayward both got banged up in Saturday's win over Atlanta. Horford (knee) is listed as probable while Hayward has been placed in the concussion protocol and is doubtful to play against Denver.
Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings, but note that under is 11-5 for Denver in road games where the total is greater than or equal to 220. I think this will be a relatively low-scoring contest.
Free pick on UNDER.

NHL | Coyotes vs Lightning
Play on: Lightning -1½ +102 at pinnacle

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Free Pick Tampa Bay Lightning Puck Line -1.5 goals (+) vs Arizona Coyotes @ 7:35 ET - The Lightning have plenty of motivation here. With a win Monday over the Coyotes, Tampa Bay can clinch the Atlantic Division as well as wrap up the home ice advantage for the entire post season. Additionally, the Bolts were embarrassed 7 to 1 at Arizona very early this season. The last time these teams met in Tampa, the Coyotes also got the win: 4-1 final. That said, the Lightning are not only seeking revenge here, they also are motivated by the standings and by the fact that Arizona beat them by a combined score of 11 to 2 in the last two meetings. What that means it that the Bolts, the best team in the league, will not take their foot off the gas in this one. That said, the opportunity to have the Lighting at no juice and lay the 1.5 goals is a great opportunity. Look for TB to win this one by 2 or more goals and lock up everything for the upcoming post season! The Coyotes are off a loss by just a 1-goal margin but, prior to that, Arizona's last 6 defeats all came by a margin of 2 or more goals. 10 of the last 15 Lightning wins have come by a margin of 2 or more goals. Look for a home blowout here. Free Pick TAMPA BAY Puck Line -1.5 goals

NBA | Warriors vs Spurs
Play on: UNDER 226 -103

Take Under the Total in the game between the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs. Golden State (47-21) has won two games in a row with their 110-88 upset win at Oklahoma City on Saturday. The Warriors have played 4 of their last 5 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Golden State has also played 4 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. San Antonio (41-29) has won eight straight games with their 108-103 win over Portland on Saturday. The Spurs have then played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win. San Antonio has played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total on their home court. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

NBA | Heat vs Thunder
Play on: Heat +5½ -102 at pinnacle

1* Free NBA Pick on Miami Heat +5.5
With Oklahoma City's Russell Westbrook suspended for this game after getting his 16th technical in the Thunder's last game, there's just too much value here with Miami to pass up. Every game is massive down the stretch for Miami, as they are just 1-game ahead of the Magic for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
One of the reasons I think this number isn't lower with Westbrook out is the fact that Miami will be playing on no rest. However, the Heat won relatively easy at home against the Hornets 93-75. Josh Richardson was the only Miami player to play more than 31 minutes. While OKC had Sunday off, this will be there 4th game in the last 6 days. Thunder bench will be hurting, as their biggest producer, Dennis Schroeder will likely move into the starting lineup.
Heat are 24-13 ATS last 37 on the road as a dog of 6 points or less, including a 19-7 ATS run in their last 26 road games vs the Western Conference. OKC on the other hand is 0-8 ATS last 2 seasons at home when coming off a upset loss by 10 or more. Take Miami!

NBA 75 DIME GAME
225.5
Warriors guard Klay Thompson is averaging 30.0 ppg over the last four games. Golden State crushed San Antonio 141-102 at home in the most recent meeting on Feb. 6
I like the value in the over, since the Spurs are going to give the Warriors a run for the money. Warriors are averaging 117 ppg while the Spurs are averaging 111 ppg. Lay the over here.

NBA | Heat vs Thunder
Play on: Heat +5½ -102 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Miami Heat +5.5
The Oklahoma City Thunder are really scuffling right now. They are just 5-9 SU & 3-11 ATS in their last 14 games overall. And things just got even more difficult for them tonight as Russell Westbrook has been suspended for this game after receiving his 16th technical foul of the season.
The Miami Heat are trying to cling on to the 8th and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. They are just one game ahead of the Orlando Magic. The Heat have done an excellent job here down the stretch by going 7-3 SU & 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The Heat have actually done their best work on the road this season, going 21-11 ATS in their 32 road games. Miami is also 21-11 ATS as an underdog this season. The Heat are 23-7 ATS in road games after playing two consecutive home games over the last three seasons. The Thunder are 0-8 ATS in home games off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite over the last two years. Bet the Heat Monday.

NBA | Bulls vs Suns
Play on: Bulls +2½ -109 at GTBets

10* FREE NBA PICK (Bulls +2.5)
I'll take my chances here with Chicago as a slim road dog against the Suns. This line looks completely off, as the Bulls come in having lost 5 straight, are just 11-25 on the road and playing in the 2nd game of a back-to-back, while Phoenix is fresh off an upset win at New Orleans as a 4.5-point dog and are now 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. As bad as the Suns have been this season, the betting public won't hesitate to back them. The interesting thing is that while the public has flocked to the ticket window to take Phoenix, the line has moved the other way, as it opened at Phoenix -3 and is now down to -2.5. This is what we call reverse line movement, as big time money is coming in on Chicago to drive this the other way. I'm with the other sharps, as I expect a big effort here from the Bulls off that ugly game on Sunday against the Kings. Give me Chicago +2.5!

NBA | Bulls vs Suns
Play on: Suns -2 -109 at GTBets

Dave’s Monday Free Play:
1* on Phoenix Suns -2
The Key: The Phoenix Suns are playing their best ball of the season here over the last few weeks. They are 5-3 SU & 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall. And now they are short home favorites over the Bulls, who are 0-5 SU & 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Bulls will also be playing for a second consecutive day after losing in Sacramento last night, so it’s a tough situation for them. Chicago is 3-11 ATS off 2 consecutive road games this season. Take Phoenix.
