Brian W. Spencer's Daily Picks

Sam Houston - Race #8
Picks Notes
#10 Dashboard Returns as a gelding for this second lifetime start, and it's probably worth giving him another chance after the decent finishing effort when bet to 4/1 in the debut.
#1 Temple of Sol Finished in front of the top choice in that common race, and that was a nice first try on the grass. He's tough here with any kind of step forward in this second start off the bench.
#9 Colloquist He has had some chances, but he might find the local company a bit more to his liking. Still, he'll need better than what he showed when ending his 2020 campaign.
Race Summary Dashboard has room to move forward off the debut run, and this first-time gelding has more upside than most of the logical players in here.

Sam Houston - Race #9
Picks Notes
#9 Blue Blazes Who Willing to take a swing here after the modest comeback run, but she chased the pace that day off more than a year layoff, and she has a right to stick around much better today with that last one under her belt.
#4 Quinn Ella She'll drop to the lowest level she has seen with winners, and her comeback race for three times this price was really solid. Mild worry about the drop, but she has never been a classy type, so perhaps it's splitting hairs.
#11 Salaciousacusation She'll need to hold her form 20 days out of the Asmussen barn, but her recent running lines give her a right to be tough with these if she can bring something similar for the new team.
Race Summary Blue Blazes Who is capable of something better than she showed off the bench, and the price should get better with this bunch tonight.

Sam Houston - Race #10
Picks Notes
#3 Set the Pace It's encouraging that they've still got her protected with special weight company off the dud, as they were willing to risk her for $25k in the debut run. She's capable of something better than she showed last out.
#11 Moro Coffee Think she's probably a bit overbet with these tonight, but she has run a couple of decent races locally and should get a decent trip near the front.
#1 Lumberjack Leslie Debuts against a group that isn't all that imposing, and she figures to be a decent price from the fence with a chance for a share at first asking.
Race Summary Set the Pace needs to bounce back off a dull local debut, but she's likely to show something a bit better here and should be right up on the splits.

Frank Carulli's Daily Picks

Meadowlands - Race #12
Picks Notes
#2 SAINT ALBRAY Trapped, full of pace, late burst between rivals for third.
#4 LAURIE LEE Easy win off six-week layoff, now 9-for-18 lifetime.
#1 IDEATION HANOVER Drops, gets favorable post switch, stands 45/8-8-9 on fast track.
Race Summary Saint Albray took money again, lacked running room until the stretch, then weaved through traffic to finish a fast-closing third at this level. Play 2-1 and 2-4 exactas.

Woodbine-Mohawk Park - Race #3
Picks Notes
#1 MIA CULPA Steps up after well-measured, comeback victory.
#4 MAJOR LEAGUE N As always, the one to catch, seeks 19th win.
#7 SWIFT ALLY Late foot after three months away, draws outside again.
Race Summary Mia Culpa, unhurried into the stretch as the odds-on favorite, kicked into high gear while widest to win going away. She draws the rail and offers plenty of value on the class hike. Play a 1-ALL exacta.

Yonkers - Race #8
Picks Notes
#3 JM'S DELIGHT Trapped at key juncture, stayed on for third, good value play.
#1 OURLITTLEGENERAL A Buried lesser at Freehold for 28th career win.
#6 PICARD A Faded from pocket in local debut, makes third start of cycle.
Race Summary JM's Delight was trapped in the third quarter while the 2-1 winner shook loose from the field. He finished well for third, earning a playback in the same spot. Play 3-1 and 3-6 exactas.

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Jerry Shottenkirk's Daily Picks

Gulfstream Park - Race #6
Picks Notes
#7 The Mighty Judge Lacked a big kick last time but looks to be rounding back into better form; was claimed two back by Tharrenos and will be ridden by Zayas, who can probably have him closer early than he's been lately.
#1 Austrian Rallied well for second in his last two and will be a big player if he runs back to either of those; makes his third local start, which could help him out.
#5 Digital Footprint Lost a photo last out and has been right there in his last two; he's running at lower levels than last year and takes a step up here.
Race Summary The Mighty Judge lagged too far back in recent races but is capable of keeping closer to the lead; capable of a big effort at a decent price.

Gulfstream Park - Race #8
Picks Notes
#4 Long Beach Kid Ran an even third last out and has responded to rider Vazquez in three of his four races; may have found his level.
#7 Golovkin Has enough speed to get to the lead and was a decent fourth last time in his first vs. winners; fits with these.
#3 Onemoretimearound Was up in time vs. a lower level last time and was claimed by Gargan, who is 34 percent in the first off a claim.
Race Summary Long Beach Kid ran well in his latest and can carve out a good trip here; well spotted in this one.

Gulfstream Park - Race #9
Picks Notes
#4 Ideal Breeze Ran off to an easy score last time in a race she controlled from the start; will probably have to do it from just off the pace and is bred to have some kick in sprints.
#5 Headline Hunter Lead from the start and dug in nicely when challenged; finished in good time at Turfway and get Irad Ortiz here.
2 R Adios Jersey Was a clear winner in each of her two races and can be expected to apply pressure throughout.
Race Summary Ideal Breeze could continue the current success of trainer Yates, who is hitting at 25 percent for the season. This one has had just the one start and logged a bullet work in preparation for this.

# 3 INAGOODWAY 5/2




# 5 GOODNIGHTLOVING 3/1




# 4 ALEX'S BOURBON 7/2




I have to consider INAGOODWAY here. Displays solid Equibase speed figs on average overall when put alongside the rest of this field. Has been running admirably lately and will almost certainly be on the lead early on. Has to be given a chance - I like the figs from the last affair. GOODNIGHTLOVING - She has a good opportunity in here as conditioner, Anderson, has solid win clip with horses going this distance. With a very good 80 speed fig last time out, will clearly be a factor in this competition. ALEX'S BOURBON - Is tough not to examine given the company run in recently. Should come out strong - I have liked the way this mare has moved quickly to the lead recently.

#4 LIGHT UP THE DEVIL (ML=9/2)
#2 EURODEVILWOMAN (ML=4/1)
#1 SALTY HEART (ML=20/1)


LIGHT UP THE DEVIL - TrackMaster keeps good stats on this type of information. This mare always seems to run well after a vacation. This horse's last race was out at Louisiana Downs in a race with a class rating of 85. Dropping significantly in class rating this time around puts her in a solid position in today's race. Trainer Neatherlin gave this mare a good stiff workout. Last one was 2nd fastest of the day. EURODEVILWOMAN - This mare should run better today now that she's back facing here own gender. Last time around the track was at Sam Houston in a race with a class number of 86. Dropping considerably in class rating this time around puts her in a solid position today. Trainer, Broberg, has been deliberate with this mare off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today. SALTY HEART - This should be an easier task than what she was asked last time out against 'open' company. After the contest aboard this equine on October 31st, the jock is going to know the mare much better. This rider and trainer's horses have been producing a favorable return on investment. Has run good races in the first or second starts back off of a vacation.

Vulnerable Contenders: #6 DUSTWHIRL WONDER (ML=7/5), #5 SING PRADA SING (ML=3/1),

DUSTWHIRL WONDER - This morning-line choice may be out of condition without any recent works. I find it hard to bet on any mount in a sprint event at 7/5 when she hasn't shown any successful efforts in sprints in the last couple months. Can't play this morning-line favorite off the long layoff. SING PRADA SING - This questionable contender hasn't been close to the winner at the wire of late.






STRAIGHT WAGERS:

Putting our cash on #4 LIGHT UP THE DEVIL to win. Have to have odds of at least 7/2 or better though

Mitchell Newman

For Friday night in the Big Ten, going to back the Purdue Boilermakers in this near-pick'em game at Penn State.

Not sure how a 15-8 teams is listed as the slight +1 point underdog (as I release this selection) to an 8-12 team, but one think I know is the Boilers have the best player on the floor in Trevion Williams who averages 16 points per game and just over 9 rebounds per contest.

Purdue is also getting quality play from Jaden Ivey who is coming on strong after missing 5 games due to a foot injury.

Matt Painter's team did win the first season series meeting at home, 80-72 and they have been able to win 9 of the past 10 series meetings overall.

The Boilers offense has been percolating of late with 75 points scored in their last pair of games and in 3 of their last 4 overall. Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions lone win over their last 5 games came their last time out against the door mat of the conference in Nebraska.

Unless I am missing something, I really do not understand this line tonight?!?!?

Take Purdue.

3* PURDUE

Heading into Friday night the Atlanta Hawks have played Over the total in 9 of their last 10 games, while the Oklahoma City Thunder have held Under the total in 4 straight and 7 of their last 8 games overall.

Obviously, one of those streaks I just mentioned is going to take a hit tonight, but which one will it be? Will it be the Hawks pronounced Over run, or the Thunder's pronounced Under run?

To get to the answer to that question, one must look at the series meetings between the teams that show each of the last 6 meetings between the teams as having landed Over the total.

This is the first meeting of the season between the teams and while the rosters of each club have changed during their 6 game Over run, I still feel playing the Over in OKC on Friday night is the way to go.

Hawks to make it a 10-1 Over run as they combined with the Thunder for some offense this evening.

2* ATLANTA-OKLAHOMA CITY OVER

[Can'tPickAWinner]

Bob Valentino

Friday night comp play on Portland plus the points as they take on the slumping Lakers at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

The Trail Blazers have dropped back-to-back games at Phoenix and Denver on Monday and Tuesday, but the Blazers loss at the Nuggets did see them cover in the underdog role plus the points.

Portland has in fact covered in 7 of their last 9 games coming into this showdown with the Lakers.

As for the Lakers, they are clearly missing the services of Anthony Davis, but the absence of Dennis Schroder who has been sidelined for COVID-19 protocols has also been big for Los Angeles. Davis is still out, but Schroder is expected to be back for this contest for a Los Angeles team that has lost 4 in a row both straight up and against the spread.

Overall, LA is on a 4-12 pointspread slide their last 16 games, so forgive me if I am a little reluctant to lay the lumber with the home team tonight.

Portland did win the first meeting between the teams back in December, 115-107 as the +6 1/2 points road dog and I think they can at least cover tonight plus the points.

# 5 MOONZANO 12/1




GET LIT figures to be the bet in here. Is difficult not to look at based on speed figures which have been quite good - 63 avg - of late. Has performed admirably lately in sprint races, posting a nifty 64 avg speed fig. Have to play this gelding with the formidable earnings per start in dirt sprint contests. BALTINGLASS - Will probably compete soundly in the early pace clash which bodes well with this field. MOONZANO - Must be considered for this event if only for the very good Equibase Speed Fig put up in the last contest.

#6 WIND RIDGE (ML=8/1)
#3 NO FLY ZONE (ML=8/1)


WIND RIDGE - I like to see fast workouts. This gelding's last one was very good. Second fastest of the day. NO FLY ZONE - This animal ran out of the money at Parx Racing last out on a track listed as good. He should improve in today's race under normal track conditions.

Vulnerable Contenders: #2 TEMPTING THE TIGER (ML=5/2), #4 UNCLE NED (ML=7/2), #7 GOOGLE IT (ML=4/1),

TEMPTING THE TIGER - This morning-line favorite may be out of form without any recent morning drills. UNCLE NED - Improbable that the rating he recorded on January 11th will hold up in this affair. GOOGLE IT - If you keep betting these kind of 'hanger' types, you're going to be dissatisfied most every time.

Friday, February 26: Frank Carulli's Stronach 5 Picks

February 25, 2021 | By Frank Carulli

LEG A // LAUREL, RACE 9 (4:17PM ET) // OPTIONAL CLAIMING // 6 FURLONGS (DIRT)

VICTIM OF LOVE won a Grade III sprint off a 3-1/2 month layoff, then ran third in the Grade I Ballerina Stakes to eventual Breeders' Cup FM Sprint runner-up Serengeti Empress. She is working bullets for her return from a six-month layoff and will be a popular solo play.

LEG B // SANTA ANITA, RACE 3 (4:35PM ET) // MAIDEN SPECIAL WEIGHT // 1 MILE (TURF)

BIG BEAUTY took money in her 6F turf debut, steadied at the top of the stretch and finished a clear second to Disko Fever, who returned with a sharp 6-1/2F allowance victory in 1:15.3. Her sire, Mr. Big, was a proven router, winning twice in nine career starts. SUNSHINE BABE finished 2-1/2 lengths behind Big Beauty after a troubled start, lacked stretch kick with Lasix in her second go-round and is by Grazen, a top 10 California sire in earnings the last two years.

LEG C // GULFSTREAM, RACE 8 (4:44PM ET) // CLAIMING // 1 MILE (TURF)

Four 3-year-olds arrive off victories, one off a near miss and two others after setting the pace for $50,000. It adds up to an 'ALL' punch on the Stronach 5 ticket.

LEG D // LAUREL, RACE 10 (4:49PM ET) // MAIDEN CLAIMING // 6 FURLONGS (DIRT)

GET LIT class drops out of three races that produced winners, adds blinkers and is best of those that have run. But first-time starters WHITE NITRO (hot barn), FLASH LIGHTENING (fast works) and ALWAYS BIZ (busy work tab) are worth a second look.

LEG E // GOLDEN GATE, RACE 3 (4:53PM ET) // CLAIMING // 6 FURLONGS (ALL WEATHER)

BIG AWARD, third in her 6F debut versus $50k California breds, dueled with Luxury Liner, who went wire-to-wire in a $32,000 and $25,000 claimer after that win. TAMA'S ARCH rallied at 5-1/2F but was 'fanned' out of the money from the outside post. She draws the rail, should get ample pace flow and offers good value.

SUGGESTED $1 TICKET

Leg A: 3
Leg B: 3, 8
Leg C: ALL
Leg D: 1, 6, 8, 9
Leg E: 1, 3

February 26, 2021

Jeff Siegel’s Santa Anita Analysis & Wagering Strategies
*
Specifically designed for the rolling exotic player, Jeff Siegel’s “Daily Analysis and Wagering Strategies” isolates those horses that should be included in daily doubles, pick-3s, pick-4s, pick-5s, and the pick-6.
*
The selections are posted at 6:00 a.m. and updated later in the morning to reflect late scratches and changes (approximately 10:30 a.m.).
*
*
Grade Descriptions: Grade A=Highest degree of confidence; Grade B=Solid Play. Grade C=Least preferred or pass; Grade X=probable winner but likely at odds too short to play.


Click here to view today’s Santa Anita Workout Report


RACE 1: Post: 12:30 PT Grade: B-
Use: 1-Full Draw; 6-Tiz Vicious

Forecast: Tiz Vicious joins the P. Miller barn, removes blinkers, drops to the bottom-rung maiden claiming level and shows a heathy work tab at San Luis Rey Downs while stretching out to a distance that produced a career top speed figure two runs back. In a race lacking in effective closers, the son of Violence should find himself comfortably placed on or near the lead throughout. Full Draw is guaranteed a ground-saving, first flight trip from his favorable inside post position, and after hitting the board in his last pair he’s in good form with speed figures that fit. The son of Union Rags was more than four lengths clear of the rest over this track and distance in a similar affair last month and not much more will be needed to handle this modest bunch. These are the two we’ll be using in rolling exotic play.
*
*
RACE 2: Post: 1:03 PT Grade: B
Use: 1-Wilson Monk; 5-Scary Fast Smile

Forecast: Based on what we’ve seen of him in the morning, Wilson Monk simply should be too fast for his four rivals in this maiden special weight sprint for state-bred older horses. First-time starters breaking from the rail always are problematic, but this 5-year-old gelding by Midnight Lute will take some catching if he breaks even moderately well. Scary Fast Smile has been in the frame in all four of his career starts and has earned steadily rising speed figures in each outing. Drawn comfortably outside, the son of Smiling Tiger will have every chance to pick up Wilson Monk from the quarter pole home should that one make any mistakes along the way. We’ll prefer ‘Monk on top but include both in our rolling exotics in a race that seems highly likely to boil down to the two betting favorites.
*
*
RACE 3: Post: 1:35 PT Grade: B
Use: 6-Warrens Candy Girl; 8-Big Beauty

Forecast: Big Beauty displayed ability when a solid runner-up in her debut last month, closing with interest in a strong, productive race that has seen the winner (Disko Fever) come back to win and the third place finisher (Big Clare) return to finish a strong second. Based on pedigree, the C. Sise, Jr.-trained filly seems certain to improve with experience and distance, so with the switch to hot-riding F. Prat and a recent six furlong bullet workout (6f, 1:13.3h) at San Luis Rey Downs the daughter of Mr. Big is listed as the 9/5 morning line favorite and logically so. Warrens Candy Girl is a six-race maiden without tactical speed and therefore isn’t one to truly trust, but the daughter of Clubhouse Ride, runner-up in her last four starts and adding Lasix for the first time, is on paper the one to fear most. She has numbers that are better than par for the level, switches to A. Cedillo, and is another getting Lasix for the first time, so improvement certainly can be expected.
*
*
RACE 4: Post: 2:08 PT Grade: C+
Use: 1-Great Power; 5-Old Indian Trick; 6-Rebel War

Forecast: We’ll go three deep in this $20,000 claiming sprint for older horses but otherwise pass the race. Old Indian Trick, in his third start off a long layoff, produced a forward move when third over the track and distance in a similar restricted (nw-3) $20,000 claiming sprint last month and looked sharp in a subsequent workout to indicate the M. Puype-trained gelding is ready to improve again. He does his best work from a pace-pressing position and given the projected race flow for this race the son of Ministers Wilds Cat should find himself just where he wants to be. Great Power earned a good number winning two runs back for $16,000 but then finished fourth at 60 cents on the dollar when protected in starter’s allowance company over the Golden Gate Fields all-weather surface. Back in 13 days on what clearly is his preferred track and dropping to a realistic spot, the R. Saldana-trained son of Blame is reunited with “win” rider J. J. Hernandez and seems likely to draft into a ground-saving, second flight position and have every chance from the quarter pole home. Rebel War has trained well for his comeback and could fire a big shot off the bench in his first start since June of 2019 and his first as a gelding. He’s the quickest horse in the field and will take them as far as he can.
*
*
RACE 5: Post: 2:40 PT Grade: B-
Use: 5-Bob Daniels; 8-Thrive

Forecast: We’ll try to survive and advance using just two in this state-bred maiden sprint restricted to 3-year-olds, but if you feel the need to spread deeper, go right ahead. Bob Daniels ran like a short horse in his debut when finishing a respectable fourth at Los Alamitos in December, and then lost all chance after stumbling badly at the start in a grass sprint here last month in a strong race won by next-out winner Hockey Dad. The son of Race Day sports a healthy recent work tab for the always-dangerous J. Mullins/T. Baze trainer-jockey combo and represents a reasonable gamble at 5-1 on the morning line. Thrive has done some decent work in the a.m. leading up to his racing debut and the son of Constitution should be fit enough for a good effort after landing the comfortable outside post position and attracting F. Prat. The barn doesn’t often with first-timers but this son of Competitive Edge is bred for speed and a sharp recent bullet gate work should have him on his toes.
*
*
RACE 6: Post: 3:12 PT Grade: B+
Use: 3-Soothsay; 4-Just Distorted

Forecast: Soothsay has trained like a win-early type for top connections, doing everything that has been asked of her like a filly of some quality. She displayed excellent gate speed in a recent bullet five furlong workout (:59.2hg) that was the fastest of 32 for the distance, so we’re expecting the daughter of Distorted Humor and La Canada S.-G2 winner Spellbound to break well and lead the way in this maiden sprint for sophomore fillies. Here’s another positive factor: the jockey/trainer team of F. Prat and R. Mandella is nothing less than lethal (39% with a massive ROI). Just Distorted, a $400,000 yearling by Distorted Humor also has displayed very good speed in the a.m. while preparing for her debut and is a “must use” in rolling exotic play. The J. Wong barn hits at an exceptional 23% with first-timers while producing a significant flat-bet profit so this very well-regarded filly seems very likely to be fit and ready.
*
*
RACE 7: Post: 3:45 PT Grade: B
Use: 1-Goodtingscominpink; 2-Zucchera; 7-Sugar Pickel

Forecast: In a race that projects to be slowly run early, Goodtingscominpink should be able to take full advantage of her rail post position and draft into an ideal ground-saving stalking position in and then have every chance to kick home when called upon over a turf course that has produced a prior win and four other in-the-frame finishes from six starts. The five-year-old mare appeared sharp and eager in a recent workout for her first outing since November, so with the Cerin barn’s “go-to” rider J. Hernandez taking the call let’s put the daughter of Clubhouse Ride on top and hope to get close to her morning line of 5/2 on the tote. Zucchera, a closing fourth (beaten just over a length) while taking the worst of the race flow in a similar affair over this course and distance last month, is another that has looked sharp in recent a.m. drills and appears the most dangerous of the late-runners. A one-paced, grinding sort that will require some help up front, the R. Baltas-trained mare switches to top grass rider U. Rispoli, and if she can stay within range during the early stages the daughter of Tapizar could make some serious noise late. Sugar Pickel stretches out, worked nicely over the training track (bullet half mile drill in 47 4/5 seconds), and retains F. Prat. She may be a bit better than her 6-1 morning line indicates.
*
*
RACE 8: Post: 4:16 PT Grade: B-
Use: 4-Wild Arch; 5-Our Bonnie Lass; 6-Cosmic Cowgirl

Forecast: A little will go a very long way in the Friday finale, a bottom-rung ($20,000) maiden claiming main track miler for fillies and mare. Our Bonnie Lass rates a slight edge on top after the daughter of Birdstone continued her improving pattern when finishing second (while five lengths clear of the rest) against a similar group in an effort that produced a career top speed figure in her most recent outing last month. She’s most effective on the front end and gate-to-wire tactics almost certainly will be employed by bug girl J. Pyfer, who has gotten good run out of this R. Bell-trained filly in her last two starts. Wild Archis a fit on numbers and finished a willing runner-up while five lengths clear of the rest in her most recent outing. She’s a one-paced six-race maiden but should find herself within reasonable range of the projected leader throughout. Cosmic Cowgirl drops to the bottom, returns to dirt, adds blinkers, retains J. J. Hernandez and stretches out again in her second start off a layoff, so there are plenty of reasons to believe that improvement is likely. Toss her in.

Laurel Park – Seventh Race – Post time: 3:18 ET
4-Lady Fox (5/2)

Has dramatically improved in her last pair for high percentage trainer C. Gonzalez after being claimed for just $16,000 last September and in her present form seems quite capable of extending her winning streak to three in this starter optional claiming miler for fillies and mares. Broke her maiden two run back by 27 lengths vs. low level competition and then came right back to demolish a restricted (nw-2) $16,000 claiming field by more than five lengths, blowing past her rivals with an impressive late kick. Protected today, the daughter of Imagining must tackle tougher rivals but at 5/2 on the morning line she’ll offer good wagering value both in the win pool and in rolling exotic play.

*

Aqueduct – Fifth Race – Post time 3:25 PT
7-Gold Bear (5/2)

First-time starter vans up from South Florida for T. Pletcher after displaying plenty of ability in a series of sharp workouts at Palm Beach Downs. Though his pedigree suggests he’ll eventually do his best work over a distance of ground, the son of Pioneerof the Nile has rained like he’ll be quick enough to act at this six furlong trip, and with the barn’s “go to” local rider K. Carmouche taking the call this $25,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase appears extremely live and well-meant. We’ll make him a play at or near his morning line of 5/2.

The Red Wolves won the first meeting 83-75 in overtime, then lost the next day 65-64.
The Mavericks have dropped three straight games and haven’t won since February 6th. The defense has really fallen by the wayside as of late with the last two opponents producing 1.115 and 1.253 PPP.

Play on: Celtics -2½ -103 at pinnacle

1* NBA - Pacers/Celtics *FREE PICK* on Celtics -2.5
Today's free pick is on the Boston Celtics -2.5 at home against the Indiana Pacers. The perception couldn't be much worse with Boston right now. The Celtics have lost 3 straight and 8 of their last 11. As hard as it might be to trust this team, it's just too good a price to pass up with Boston at basically a pick'em at home against a Pacers team that hasn't been playing all that great either. Indiana has lost their last two and 6 of their last 9 overall. Pacers are also just 3-8 ATS last 11 road games vs a team that's won more than 60% of their home games, while Celtics are 8-3 ATS last 11 as a home favorite. Bet Boston -2.5!

1* Free Sharp Play on Utah Valley -2 -112
Utah Valley (-2) is worth a look as a small home favorite against UTRGV (UT-Rio Grande Valley) in Friday's action out of the WAC. The Wolverines have won 3 of the last 4 meetings with the Vaqueros and each of the last 2 at home. Utah Valley also comes in having covered in 4 of their last 6. UTRGV is just 1-3 in road games this year and figure to be a little rusty here. The Vaqueros only game in the last 20 days is a cupcake contest at home against a non-DI school in Dallas Christian, which was absolutely no contest (won 116-51). Look for the Wolverines to not only win and cover, but win this one easily. Play Utah Valley -2!

Play on: Bulls +6½ -108 at pinnacle

Dave's Friday Free Play:
1* on Chicago Bulls +6.5
The Key: The Chicago Bulls are one of the most improved teams in the NBA this season. Head coach Billy Donavan has made all the difference as players have been raving about him. The Bulls have responded by going 5-1 SU & 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall with their only loss coming on the road to Philadelphia by 7 points. The Suns are hot too having gone 9-2 SU in their last 11 games overall . But they have played 9 of those 11 games at home. Now they hit the road for 3 straight games and are getting a lot of respect from the books due to the success they just had at home. Chicago thrives in this role going 14-5 ATS in its last 19 games as an underdog. Take Chicago.

NBA | Hawks vs Thunder
Play on: Hawks -5 -110 at BetCris

The Hawks scored 127 in their last game, against Boston, one of the better defensive teams in the league. They have scored 120+ in two of their last three. The OKC offense is one of the worst in the NBA and we just don’t see them keeping up if Atlanta plays on the offensive end like they have lately. The OKC defense is solid. But it’s questionable if they will be able to score enough to keep this one close. OKC is coming off a win, and this team doesn’t win back-to-back games too often. We think this one could easily be a double-digit win for the road team.

The Atlanta Hawks are just 4-9 SU in their last 13 games overall. They haven't won two games in a row since January 20-22. They are coming off a big win over the Boston Celtics and are now getting a lot of respect here as 5.5-point favorites over the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Thunder have been disrespected all season. The Hawks are 12-25-1 ATS in their last 28 games off a win by more than 10 points. The Thunder are 46-21 ATS in their last 67 games when playing on one day of rest. Oklahoma City is 22-9 ATS in the last 31 meetings. Give me the Thunder.

NBA | Blazers vs Lakers
Play on: Lakers -5 -107 at pinnacle

PICK - Los Angeles Lakers -5
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 546
I will take my chances here with the Lakers as a 5-point home favorite against the Blazers. It took 4 straight losses where LA failed to cover the spread before the public had enough.
Now instead of blindly looking to back the Lakers, the public is all over the Blazers with more than 60% of the action on Portland in this game. I always like going against the public when I can and even more so in a big game like this one that will be televised on ESPN.
LA will still be without Anthony Davis, but will be welcoming back point guard Dennis Schroder, who has been out in all 4 of the Lakers losses on this current losing streak. Getting Schroder back is huge, as it not only gives LA another guy who can handle the rock, but puts another reliable scorer on the floor.
Scoring also figures to be a bit easier in this one, as the Blazers are not a great defensive team at all, especially on the road, where they are giving up 116.5 ppg on 48% shooting from the field and 39% shooting from behind the 3-point line.
Lastly, we are backing LA in a very profitable spot. Home favorites of 3.5 to 9.5 points who have failed to cover 8 or more of their last 10 games, with a winning record and playing a team with a winning record are 77-41 (65%) ATS since 1996. This includes a 13-4 ATS run the last 5 seasons. Give me the Lakers -5!
