Bones Best Bet
NBA
MAVERICKS -3.5 -102 *5* BEST BET
Similar to the best bet, these Mavs are on fire. They have reeled off 5 straight W's and have scored at least 100 points in 14 of their last 15 games. They have a very impressive +13.6 point differential over their last 5 games, while the Bobcats have a -1.9 at home over the course of the year. Riding the hot team here, in a game where we don't believe the Bobcats will be able to keep pace.
Score Prediction: Mavericks 103 - Bobcats 94
HAWKS @ BULLS UNDER 186 -105 *2*
The Bulls are a huge under team but the Hawks are a big over team - we know that, but this under sticks out to us in a big way. These teams met a month ago and played to just 175, also in Chicago. Over their past 5 games the Bulls are averaging just 179.2 points in their games. If one thing holds true in Basketball it's that under teams force you to play their game. So while Atlanta put up a lot of points, we expect their offense to go a little cold. On top of that the Hawks are averaging only 87 points per game over their past 2 games. Additionally we have three referees calling this game that all call significantly more unders then overs.
Score Prediction: Bulls 91 - Hawks 88
WIZARDS @ GRIZZLIES OVER 183.5 -105 *1*
Another situation of one team being an under team another being an over - and while we do expect the Grizzlies to make the Wizards play their game we think this game edges past the over. Memphis have been playing to 177.4 their last 5 games - introduce an offensive team in the Wizards and we think we get an additional 7 points out of the game. Grizzlies home games are averaging 193.7 this season while Washington road games sit at 196.1. Lastly Eric Lewis is calling this game and he sits 32-8 to the over this season - when he is reffing games teams score and teams score a lot. In his 40 games totals of 184.5 or less have hit just twice.
Score Prediction: Grizzlies 95 - Wizards 91
THUNDER +1 -103 *2*
THUNDER @ BLAZERS O210.5 -105 *1*
The Thunder should not be an underdog today. They have won 8 of 10 and are one of the hottest teams in the NBA. Portland has lost 5 of 10 including and 8 point loss to the Thunder in January. The Thunder have covered 7 of 8 vs a team with a winning SU record and 7 of 8 vs teams with a home record over .600. Portland has only covered 2 of their last 7 vs a team with a winning SU record. They have also only covered 1 of their last 12 Tuesday games. Look for the better team to win.
Both teams will score 100+ here, you can bet on that. The Thunder average 105.1 ppg on the year and and 103.4 on the road. The Blazers average 108.0 points per game on the year and at home. The Blazers have scored 100+ in 20 of their 24 home games this year.

Olympic Hockey
First play on Olympic hockey. We are more than likely going to have a play on the USA Canada Women's game when the line opens up on 5dimes.
This game starts at NOON ET tomorrow (February 12th)
SOCHI 2014 - MEN'S OLYMPIC HOCKEY
SWEDEN VS CZECH REPUBLIC OVER 4.5 -135 *1*
First games for men's hockey at the Olympics often see a lot of scoring. Game 1 in Vancouver pumped out an average total of 5.67. In 2006 in Torino the average total was 7 with not a single game going under 5 goals. A 2-2 game here and we cash. With two teams that have high powered offenses from both their forwards and defense we think 2-2 is quite possible. The Czech Republic's biggest weak spot is in goal, which is great for this over.
