Sport/League: SOC
Date/Time: February 5, 2021 2PM EST
Play: Fortuna Sittard +0.25 (-132)
We like Fortuna Sittard on Friday catching a quarter goal head start against Heracles over in the Dutch Eredivisie.
Fortuna Sittard have been on a solid run of form of late, netting 12 points from their last six games (4th best run in the league), with Sjors Ultee's men winning seven of their last ten games outright as well, their only loss over their last four games coming against champions Ajax in a surprisingly closer than expected game.
Heracles themselves are on a three game run, but their road form going back to last season has been extremely sub-par, winning just twice out of their last twenty Eredivisie matches when going on the road.
Heracles also enter Friday's game with the 4th worst attack in the league, registering just 1.15 gpg on average, whilst conceding an average of 2.1 gpg also.
Take the value with Fortuna Sittard catching a head start here on Friday in their Dutch Eredivisie matchup against Heracles.

Tony Mejia Event: (201201) Inter Milan at (201202) Fiorentina
Sport/League: SOC
Date/Time: February 5, 2021 2PM EST
Play: Inter Milan -0.75 (-138)
Inter Milan looks to get back on track after losing the first leg of its Coppa Italia showdown with Juventus earlier in the week, so count on the Nerazzurri being focused as it visits Florence. Fiorentina has had a full week to prepare but has been really shaky all season, coming in with a goal differential of -10 in Serie A. The first meeting between these teams produced a 4-3 result as Inter held on way back on Sept. 26, rallying through late goals from Romelu Lukaku and Danilo D;Ambrosio just before stoppage time. Needing all three points to temporarily pass AC Milan for the top spot in the league table, look for a big performance on the road. Ride Inter Milan -.75 to defeat Fiorentina in Italian Serie A action.

Tony Finn Event: (523) Washington Wizards at (524) Miami Heat
Sport/League: NBA
Date/Time: February 5, 2021 8PM EST
Play: Washington Wizards +6.5 (-110)
The Association Championship Series hangover is nothing short of an urban myth but don't tell that to the Miami Heat player personnel and their fans. A quarter of the way through the 2020-21 regular season and if the season ended today the Heat would be one of the lottery teams with no slot in the postseason bracket.
Since Jimmy Butler has returned from injury the Eastern Conference reigning champions stole a win from the defenseless Sacramento Kings and lost back-to-backs vs the Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets. In Miami's loss to Washington, the Wiz were without Russell Westbrook.
Miami isn’t playing with any energy and they have not responded after losses with any grit or passion. All things considered, there is little evidence to support the Heat as touchdown favorites in tonight's matchup. The Wiz' Bradley Beal is flying around the hardwood and scoring at will and the return of Westbrook isn't a negative for the team that represents the nation's capital. The play in my orbit is pushing in on the visiting dog and the seven-or-so points.

The Prez Event: (895) Boise State at (896) Nevada
Sport/League: CBB
Date/Time: February 5, 2021 9PM EST
Play: Boise State -4.5 (-110)
895 Boise State Broncos at 896 Nevada Wolf Pack +5, 145

Depending on who you talk to, four different basketball programs are the team to beat in the Moutain West Conference. Early in the season, tradition-rich San Diego State upended the UCLA Bruins and entered the AP Poll Top-25. In late January, Utah State won their first nine league events before suffering their first conference loss to Colorado State. Colorado State has four losses on the season, and three of the defeats are to SDSU, Utah State and Boise State are along with the Rams considered the best of the MWC.

The Broncos of Boise State are in Reno tonight to square off against the Wolf Pack of Nevada. Boise leads the conference in offensive efficiency and ranks second in the league in defensive scoring. The Broncs lead the conference in rebounding rate and, as a whole, are the conference's best on both ends of the court. Questions surround Boise due to the cupcakes they have faced and defeated.

Boise's best win is against the Cougars of BYU in early December, and their lone losses have come against ranked Houston and a good Colorado State squad from Fort Collins. The play is on the Broncos of Boise State as road chalk in Reno.

Trace Adams

Friday night NBA game between Chicago and Orlando and I will be looking for the Under to be the way to go in this meeting.

Chicago just wrapped up a pair of games at home against New York and BOTH of those meetings held Under the total. The Bulls have now landed Under the total in 4 of their last 5 as they get set for this meeting against an Orlando team that has actually tipped the scales to the Over side with 5 of their last 7 games playing Over the total.

The issue though that Orlando has is the fact they are only averaging 104.8 points per game for the season, so I am not so sure you can count on them posting enough points to combine with the Bulls for the Over tonight.

This will be the first time these teams have actually jumped ball since December of 2019 and it should be pointed out that the Under has gone 9-1 the last 10 times these teams have faced one another.

Anytime I can get a 90% trend working in my favor, I am all for it!

Bulls-Magic to hold Under the total tonight.

4* CHICAGO-ORLANDO UNDER

BIG AL's FREE PACERS/PELICANS WINNER!

New Orleans Pelicans vs Indiana Pacers

Indiana Pacers -2.5 (-102) (BetAnySports)

At 7:05 pm, our complimentary selection is on the Indiana Pacers minus the points over New Orleans. Two nights ago, we had a huge play on the Pelicans as a home underdog vs. Phoenix, and were rewarded with an upset, blowout win. But off that big victory, we'll fade New Orleans at Indiana this evening. The Pacers were blown out in their last game, 130-110, by the Bucks. But Indiana is a terrific 48-20 ATS off a loss by 13+ points, if it's matched up against a .400 (or better) opponent. Take the Pacers. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Unknown Running Style: SEARCHING FOR GOLD (12/1) [Jockey: Spieth Scott - Trainer: Ryan Derek S].

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Friday, February 5: Frank Carulli's Stronach 5 Picks

February 4, 2021 | By Frank Carulli

LEG A: GULFSTREAM PARK (RACE 7; 4:15PM ET) // CLAIMING // 5 FURLONGS (TURF)

FRENCH REEF just missed when claimed out of a 12-horse field at this level two back, then was slowed some by traffic congestion until the stretch as the beaten favorite last out. He lures Irad Ortiz Jr. to ride, so he should be included on the ticket. GRAINGER COUNTY regressed after a promising debut victory sprinting on the dirt as a 3-year-old, but he returns as a first-time gelding for a barn that can get them ready. BERNIN THRU GOLD gets class relief and may finally get to show his stuff on turf after 3 of his last 8 starts were moved to the main track. He will need to find a passing gear and doesn't offer much value, but use him nonetheless.

LEG B: LAUREL PARK (RACE 9; 4:29PM ET) // CLAIMING // 6 1/2 FURLONGS (DIRT)

EXTRA DANGEROUS rallied mildly into a fast pace as the beaten favorite for twice today's claiming price. KORCZAK blew clear stretch leads at one mile and 1-1/16 miles in his last three starts and looms dangerous while shortening up in a pace-less race. PASCAL CHANT was fractious entering the gate and nearly erased a 10-length deficit on a day when closers fared well.

LEG C: SANTA ANITA PARK (RACE 3; 4:35PM ET) // MAIDEN CLAIMING // 6 FURLONGS (TURF)

CROSS INDIAN has suspect turf breeding, but he showed good zip last out and just missed in a 5F sprint. Both of PRO BONO'S full sisters were multiple turf winners and he could be a live price play for a trainer that recently sent a string of horses to Southern California. AMANOFMYSTATURE took money but wilted under fast fractions in his local debut at 6F for Miller, but he can use his speed well in this spot.

LEG D: GOLDEN GATE FIELDS (RACE 3; 4:53PM ET) // MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT // 1 MILE (ALL WEATHER)

Four runners in this field were separated by 1-3/4 lengths in the same conditions January 15. TRIBAL NATION was content to track the 2-1 pace setter to the far turn, moved past him while in-hand at the quarter pole and finished second to the stretch-rallying winner. JIMMY BLUE JEANS arrives off a well-bet -- and useful -- debut sprint. He backed off an early 3-wide duel from post 9, re-bid while 3- and 4-wide in early stretch and faded late. His dam was first or second in 11 of 32 starts, so expect a good follow-up try at a decent price.

LEG E: GULFSTREAM PARK (RACE 9; 5:17PM ET) // OPTIONAL CLAIMING // 5 FURLONGS (TURF)

BLIND AMBITION cut back in distance off a layoff and finished 3-3/4 lengths behind multiple graded stakes winner Imprimis and six-time, graded stakes-placed Extravagant Kid in :54.4. MAY TY ONE ON rallied for two wins and a near miss in his last four 5F turf sprints at Gulfstream Park.

Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Sam Houston - Race #8
Picks Notes
#3 Radiant Kitten He'll make his second start off the bench while racing as a gelding for the first time. He owns a couple of decent dirt runs in his career, and he should find this level a cozy fit for his current form.
#7 Just Ask Joel He's the one to beat, but he has lost three consecutive races at this level, so I wouldn't be too eager to land here at what will surely be an underlaid price. He can win without me.
#4 Preferito de Barbi He can flash a bit of pace, and he wasn't bad when a distant second at this level at Lone Star a couple starts back. His only local dirt route try produced an easy maiden win at the $25,000 level.
Race Summary Radiant Kitten has upside while getting some class relief. He can be fitter this time around, and he should be able to find a good spot tracking the pace early on.

Sam Houston - Race #9
Picks Notes
#5 T. J. B. Oprah Finisher earned his maiden win over the local footing, and he gets blinkers back on today, hopefully leading to a slightly more tactical trip.
#11 Morhawk Exits the same races as the top choice, and while he has finished in front of that one, it hasn't been by much, and this guy probably takes a decent bit more cash.
#2 Atomic Candy Second start off the layoff for this guy while shedding the blinkers, and he has been competitive with similar at decent prices in the past.
Race Summary T. J. B. Oprah may get a bit overlooked here, and she should be able to sit a bit closer to the pace this evening after trying to close from the back in recent starts.

Sam Houston - Race #10
Picks Notes
#3 Shadow Show Drops to the bottom for this layoff run, and although there are some red flags, this is not a deep spot for this level. He should be able to get in the mix early. The 7/2 ML offering would be playable.
#10 Film Score Big price should try to force the issue from the outside, and he was bet at 9/2 in his local debut at this level, so he might be worth a little shot at a much better number tonight.
#2 My Congrats He'll make his second start off a very long break, and that comeback effort should prove useful after showing some tactical pace.
Race Summary Shadows Show will need to fire fresh, but he meets an unremarkable cast here and might be able to take it to these early on.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Miami Valley - Race #1
Picks Notes
#6 WOO'S PRINCESS Chased the faves on class drop to this level.
#3 BARLEY'S ANGEL Brief 3-wide bid around dead cover two back, ran third.
#1 BIG BAD JENN Gets class relief, numbers translate well, draws rail.
Race Summary Have to try to beat morning-line favorite Big Bad Jenn, whose 1-28 mark the last two years reflects the field's 16-244 record. Going with WOO'S PRINCESS, who chased the co-favorites through honest fractions before fading late. She rallied into photo-finish view the last time she ran on a fast track.

Cal-Expo - Race #4
Picks Notes
#3 DANCE TRAVELER Steady late kick, tries to upstage in-the-money finishes.
#1 HI HO JULIO Widened lead through :27.2 final quarter, takes some beating from rail.
#5 GAMBLING PRINCE Appears rounding to a good race, use in all gimmicks.
Race Summary Dance Traveler's late kick was compromised by a one-minute, middle half mile in his last two starts. He has had alot of chances at this level, but at least his price should go up. Play a 1-3-5 exacta box.

Meadowlands - Race #1
Picks Notes
#10 SCIROCCO MISTYSAID Ran good one off the claim, taken to repeat despite impost.
#1 NORTHERN ROCK Ranged up first-over in last pair from posts 8 and 9, now draws rail after runner-up finish.
#8 VICTORIA'S MAVERICK Returned from half-mile track, flattened out, knows how to win.
Race Summary Scirocco Mistysaid carried his speed to easy victory off the claim from post 8 and there's no reason to think he can't to it again with 32-percent amateur driver in the bike. Play 10-1 and 10-8 exactas.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #6
Picks Notes
#1 Lookinlikeaqueen Lost by a length in a stakes race last time and is in a much more comfortable spot; can get the candy in a very competitive race.
#8 Bareeqa Was an even third last time and Saez is back up for Gargan; she has races on her form that would win this.
#6 I'm Listening Came on well for second at this level and was claimed by Breen; likely to be closer to the lead early.
Race Summary Lookinlikeaqueen faced much better recently and can excel in her return to this level.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#3 Real Talk Has good speed and can get to the front vs. these; one to rundown in his first for trainer David.
#4 Cajun Commander Was sharp in his only start and looks capable to be a strong factor in his second start; probably a late threat today.
#6 Ampersand Was a well-beaten fourth in the G1 Hopeful last fall and has good works to his credit for his first since September.
Race Summary Real Talk is fast enough to battle and put away early challengers and has a good chance to dig in for the victory.

Gulfstream Park - Race #9
Picks Notes
#5 Jackson Proven dirt sprinter moves over to the main track and has a good chance to get this group; has the class edge.
#6 Mai Ty One On Comes in off a sharp score last time and steps up in class; won at this level last May.
#8 Yes I Am Free Won his last two, one on the turf and one on the main track after rain forced it off the grass; very rapid and a big player throughout.
Race Summary Jackson has run vs. better company and the son of Kantharos should be able to adapt to a turf sprint.

#1 Mebs Web-has found a race that appears to lack early speed. She should be very close if not on the lead from the inside and either way will be in perfect position turning for home.

#4 Imprsstheprofessor-finished 5th last out against much tougher and this drop all the way down to 16k will help her chances.

#3 Jara-came off a 10 month layoff last out and did not run a step while taking on much tougher allowance runners. She drops in class for Rice and this 240k filly can be yours for 16k today.

#6 Happycrest-finished 5th against similar last out and trainer has hit with 2 of his 3 runners here.

The Walker Group Picks

# 1A KNOWN QUANTITY 3/1

# 1 LORD WINSALOT 3/1

# 4 SHANGHAISCHOOL 2/1

KNOWN QUANTITY is my choice. Madrigal has this horse running well and is a solid choice based on the decent Speed Figures posted in route races as of late. I like the jockey on this horse - respectable chance to win the contest. Could beat this group of horses in this race given the 86 speed figure put up in his last outing. LORD WINSALOT - Could best this group based on the Equibase speed fig - 86 - of his last affair. Madrigal has this gelding racing well and is a decent selection based on the formidable Equibase speed figs posted in route races recently. SHANGHAISCHOOL - Earnings per start in dirt route races is reliable for this racer. Has very good speed figs and has to be considered for a bet in here.

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#1 ROMAN PHAROAH (ML=9/2)
#8 PIZZA CHARLIE (ML=9/5)


ROMAN PHAROAH - Based on this colt's recent efforts, he should be aided by this contest's shorter distance. Diodoro drops him down to this class level. You don't need too much more knowledge to figure that this horse has a good chance at this level. PIZZA CHARLIE - Got some betting action in only race on Dec 4th at Los Alamitos (Thoroughbre, but finished second. Has a shot in this event. I like the case that this colt's last fig, 71, is tops in this field.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 MEGA CHARLIE (ML=3/1), #2 SKYWAVE (ML=9/2), #3 DEVIL'S TOWER (ML=8/1),

MEGA CHARLIE - I just don't possess a good feeling about this pony in this event. SKYWAVE - Morning line odds of 9/2 make this animal a pass by my standards. DEVIL'S TOWER - Hasn't been getting close at all recently. This horse will probably need at least one more start after the lackluster showing following the long layoff. This steed ran a disappointing speed figure last out. He shouldn't improve and will likely suffer defeat in today's race running that figure.

RECOMMENDED CHOICES
The Walker Group Picks

# 5 DISINCLINED 5/2

# 7 EXCALIBUR RIDGE 20/1

# 2 MEN OF KYLE 9/2

DISINCLINED looks very good to best this field. Doyle ought to be able to get this gelding to break out quickly for this event. Put up a competitive Equibase Speed Figure last time out. Have to examine solely on class, with some of the most respectable class figs of this group. MEN OF KYLE - Looks strong versus this group of animals and will almost certainly be one of the early speedsters. Should be considered - I like the numbers from the last race.

Stronach 5 - Race #3 - Post: 4:35pm - Maiden Claiming - 6.0 furlongs on the Turf. Purse: $35,000 Class Rating: 89

Rating: Golden DollarGolden DollarGolden Dollar

#4 AMANOFMYSTATURE (ML=5/2)
#13 LANCE THE LEGEND (ML=3/1)
#2 WHISKEY VISION (ML=10/1)


AMANOFMYSTATURE - This horse could be tough this time around, especially since Prat rode in the last race and now should be more familiar with this one. I think Stronach 5 players know a good thing when they see the jockey/trainer tandem of Prat and Miller. Their win pct together has been wonderful. Ran last time around the track against a higher rated class of horses at Santa Anita. The move down in class should suit him well. This one has recorded the best recent turf speed rating at the dist/surf. LANCE THE LEGEND - The jock and handler combination have a lucrative ROI when they combine forces. Generally speaking, horses on Lasix for the first time should be considered. That's what we have here. WHISKEY VISION - Should do well today. Weight shift of -5 from Jan 8th race at Santa Anita. The addition of Lasix might make this animal wake up right here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 CROSS INDIAN (ML=7/2), #1 SOULONG (ML=4/1), #5 DANIEL'S MAGIC (ML=8/1),

CROSS INDIAN - No favorable outcomes for this less than sharp equine in a sprint race over the last couple months tells me that this gelding is in a tough situation SOULONG - A runner should have more zip at 1 mile to give me hope about his winning probability at 6 furlongs. No picnic to support any vulnerable equine in a short distance affair if he hasn't hit the board in a sprint in the last sixty days. DANIEL'S MAGIC - 8/1 odds isn't enough for this one when checking the most recent efforts. Notched a most unsatisfactory rating last time around the track in a Maiden Special race on January 9th. Not likely to see an improved performance off of that rating.

The Key: The Maryland Terrapins have played 6 straight Big Ten games against ranked opponents. They have managed to go 3-3 SU in those games. Now they get a break in their schedule and face one of the worst teams in the Big Ten in Penn State. The Nittany Lions are just 3-7 SU in conference games this year. Now they are a home favorite against the Terrapins when they shouldn't be tonight. Penn State is 1-6 ATS in its last 7 games as a favorite. Maryland is 44-26 ATS in its last 70 road games off 2 straight ATS losses. The underdog is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 matchups. Take Maryland.

Today's free pick is on the Indiana Pacers as a mere 1-point home favorite against the New Orleans Pelicans. I just feel like the fact that the Pacers come in having lost 3 of 4 and are off an ugly 20-point loss at Milwaukee, while New Orleans just had one of their best showing of the season in a 123-101 home win over the Suns, has created some big time value here with Indiana. Pelicans are just 2-12 ATS off a win by 20 or more as a dog and 0-9 ATS if that win was at home. Bet the Pacers -1!

The Chicago Bulls have been the kings of close losses this season against good teams. They are better than their 8-12 record would indicate. The Bulls now take on a team they can handle in the Orlando Magic. The Magic are without Aaron Gordon and Markelle Fultz and these injuries have really set them back this season. Orlando is just 2-12 SU & 3-11 ATS in its last 14 games overall. The Magic have dropped four straight games all by 13 points or more coming in. The Bulls are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games. The Magic are 5-19-2 ATS in their last 26 games as home underdogs. Orlando is 1-9-1 ATS in its last 11 games off a loss by more than 10 points. Give me the Bulls.

This total opened short at 5 1/2. Florida is the No. 3 scoring team in the NHL averaging 3.7 goals. The Panthers have scored 3 or more goals in six of their seven games. The Predators ranked 26th defensively and have the worst penalty kill unit in the league. Nashville broke out of its scoring slump coming up with six goals in a 6-5 overtime victory against the Panthers on Thursday. Florida has a below average defense yielding 3 goals per game. The Panthers also are below par in killing penalties.

Play on: Lightning -1½ -143 at pinnacle

Friday NHL Free play. My selection is on Tampa Bay -1.5 goals over Detroit at 7:05 pm et on Friday.
It's becoming more and more clear that the Red Wings are the worst team in the NHL (less than honorable mention goes to Ottawa) and I don't see them picking themselves up off the mat for Friday night's tilt in Tampa. The Lightning are off to a roaring start this season and after easily brushing the Wings aside by a 5-1 score two nights ago there's little reason to expect any sort of reversal here. Detroit simply doesn't have the depth to compete with most of today's NHL teams - certainly not the Lightning, who rank near the top in most offensive categories. Take Tampa Bay -1.5 goals (10*).

517 Milwaukee at Cleveland
Surprised by the low total here as the defensive presence of the Cavaliers is a long way in the rear view mirror. This was a team that started the year as a top ranked defensive unit, but has since resulted in the same poor defense from the past few seasons. Over the last two weeks the Cavaliers rank 24th in the league defensively, and now take on the best offense in the league in that time frame. It also hurts that its best defensive disruptor will not be playing tonight as Larry Nance jr sits out once again with a wrist injury.

The OVER (141.5) is worth a look in Friday's Horizon League action between Illinois-Chicago and Wright State. The Raiders are scoring 88.4 ppg on the road this season and are averaging 89.0 ppg over their last 5 games. With that kind of offensive fire-power these two will easily eclipse the total here. The are not a great offensive team, but are averaging a respectable 72 ppg in conference play. With the game being on their home court, I like their chances of hitting the 70 point mark in this one. If they do, this thing is going to go into the 150s. Play the OVER 141.5!

NBA | Jazz vs Hornets
Play on: Hornets +7½ -105 at pinnacle

PICK - Charlotte Hornets +7.5
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 514
We will take a shot here with the Hornets as a 7.5-point home dog against the Jazz. It's not easy betting against a team like Utah, who just keeps winning and covering, but this feels like the perfect spot to fade the Jazz. Utah will be playing on no rest after last night's 112-91 win at Atlanta. That's now 13 wins in their last 14 games.
It's impossible for the Jazz to keep winning at this rate and if there's a time they are going to come out flat, it's the second of a back-to-back on the road against a team they should beat. It's also important to note that Charlotte has been a great bet here of late, covering the number in 10 of their last 15 games.
Road favorites off a road win by 10 or more and are playing their 3rd game in 4 nights like Utah is here are just 20-45 (31%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Hornets are 20-7-2 ATS last 29 games as a dog, 9-2-1 ATS last 12 as a home dog and 7-1 ATS last 8 at home vs a team with a winning road record. Give me Charlotte +7.5!

Play on: Wolves +1 -110 at BetCris

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Minnesota Timberwolves +1
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been a lot more competitive of late and should handle the depleted Oklahoma City Thunder tonight. The Timberwolves are 1-2 SU but 3-0 ATS in their last three games overall with their two losses coming by a combined 5 points.
Now they hit the road to take on a Thunder team that will be without three of their best players in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (21.8 PPG, 6.3 APG), George Hill (11.8 PPG, 3.1 APG) and Luguentz Dort (11.8 PPG). It's also a Thunder team that is just 2-7 SU at home this season.
I think the Thunder are getting more respect than they deserve tonight because they are coming off a shocking 104-87 upset win over the Rockets as 6.5-point dogs despite not having Gilgeous-Alexander or Hill. The Rockets took them lightly after crushing them by 30 points the game before, thinking they just had to show up to win.
The Timberwolves won't be taking them lightly and will be motivated off two straight one-possession losses. Minnesota is 5-0 ATS in its last five games vs. a team with a losing record. The Timberwolves are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings, including 4-1 ATS in their last five trips to Oklahoma City. Bet the Timberwolves Friday.

NBA | Celtics vs Clippers
Play on: UNDER 221½ -115

The set-up: Boston comes to town injured. It's off a 116-110 loss to the Kings. The projected starting line-up of Jason Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, Kemba Walker and Daniel Theis have played all of two games together. Walker isn't even back into "game shape" at this point after returning from a lengthy injury. LA's won four of its last five.
The pick: The Clippers have looked dangerous when healthy this year and I think their defense is underrated. LA just held Cleveland to 99 points in a 121-99 road win. The Clippers have interestingly seen the total dip under the number in ten of their last 16 after a SU road victory in which they held their opponent to 100 points or fewer in. This one sets up as more of a lower-scoring game in my opinion.
This is a 1* FREE PLAY on the UNDER Celtics/Clippers.

2/05 05:05 PM PT / 8:05 PM ET

NBA (513) UTAH JAZZ VS (514) CHARLOTTE HORNETS

Take: UNDER

Reason: Utah Jazz improved to 17-5 S/U and 15-7 ATS on the season with their win Thursday night at Atlanta, 112-91. It was the team's second straight win and their 13th in their last 14 games. They are playing back-to-back nights though, which is always tough. The Charlotte Hornets are 10-12 S/U and 12-10 ATS on the season. The Hornets have won three of tehir last four games both S/U and ATS. The Hornets had last night off after losing to Philly on Wednesday night, 111-118. The Hornets are 2-5-1 O/U/P their last eight games as a home dog. With Utah playing that 2nd of a back-to-back spot here I don't expect to see them in a fast paced contest. Play the UNDER.
