NBA | Rockets vs Suns
Play on: OVER 228 -103

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Suns/Rockets OVER 228
The Key: This 228-point total in the Suns/Rockets game tonight is high but not high enough. That is clear to see when you look at recent meetings in this head-to-head series. The OVER is 7-0 in the last 7 meetings. The Rockets and Suns have combined for 235 or more points now in 6 consecutive meetings. Enough said. Take the OVER.

NHL | Canucks vs Blue Jackets
Play on: UNDER 5½ -117

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #2 Friday Free Pick UNDER 5.5 goals in Columbus Blue Jackets vs Vancouver Canucks @ 7:05 ET - Columbus is off of a 3-1 loss at Buffalo last night. That marked their 6th straight under. The Blue Jackets have scored an average of just 1.5 goals per game in their last 6 games. Columbus has allowed an average of only 2 goals per game in their last 5 games. The Canucks come to Ohio on a 5-game losing streak and having allowed 1.6 goals per game in those 5 games. Considering both clubs are off of losses there certainly should be no shortage of defensive intensity in this one. Also, 3 of Vancouver's last 4 games have stayed under the total. The under has now cashed in 15 of 21 times in Canucks January games. Also, Vancouver has stayed under in 5 of 7 when they enter a game having been off for 2 or more days between games. When the Blue Jackets are on an under streak of 3 games or more it usually continues! 7 of their 8 games this season in that situation have stayed under. More of the same in the forecast here. Free Pick UNDER 5.5 goals in Columbus

NBA | Warriors vs Bucks
Play on: Bucks +6½ -110 at Bovada

Take Milwaukee (#813)
Teddy nailed the Falcons, Bills and Titans (free play), 100% perfect in NFL action last weekend; locked & loaded w' three more weekend winners. And you don’t want to miss Teddy’s NBA Big Ticket tonight, a classic ‘Wrong Team Favored’ scenario.
Last year, here at the Bradley Center, the Bucks gave the Warriors everything they could handle, losing by only three points as a nine point home underdog. Two years ago, Jason Kidd’s squad pulled off the outright upset against Golden State on this floor, winning by 13 as nine point dogs. Clearly, Kidd and the Bucks get up for their only home game against the defending champs.
This year’s Milwaukee squad is better – much better – than recent editions. Giannis Antetokounmpo has morphed into a superstar. Point guard Eric Bledsoe has clearly sparked the offense. Kris Middleton is averaging more than 20 points per game. Malcolm Brogdon is continuing to develop off his ‘Rookie of the Year’ campaign in 2017.
The end result? Milwaukee’s offensive execution is as good as it’s been at any point in the Kidd era, and it’s getting better by the week. For the full season, Milwaukee ranks #7 in offensive efficiency. Since Christmas, they’re at #4 in the NBA. And that’s a problem for the disjointed Warriors as they start their toughest road trip of the season (upcoming games at Toronto, Cleveland, Chicago and Houston) tonight.
Golden State has been shuttling key players in and out of the lineup for weeks, dealing with a barrage of injuries. Klay Thompson sat on Wednesday vs. the Clippers. Steph Curry turned his ankle in practice, questionable this evening. Curry’s quote is laced with frustration: “I was just doing my normal shooting routine, and just stepped on the floor and twisted my ankle. Nothing serious, just obviously frustrating...I have to deal with the mental of having to play so well, miss 11 games, come back, get my legs underneath me, and then miss a game or whatnot. That’s more the part that’s hard to swallow right now.”
That’s not all.Andre Igoudala is banged up again, forced to leave the game with a knee injury on Wednesday. And Kevin Durant missed three games last week. Remember, after signing Kevin Durant, Golden State’s ‘deepest roster in the league’ isn’t quite as deep these days…..
All of these key injuries have led to a rather dramatic decline in the Warriors defensive execution in recent weeks. After beating the Cavs on Christmas Day, Golden State ranked #3 in the NBA allowing 102.5 points per 100 possessions. Since Christmas, the Warriors have allowed 109.9 points per 100 possessions, only #20 in the NBA. That significant decline hasn’t been picked up by the betting markets just yet. Fear the Deer! Take the Bucks

NCAA-B | Brown vs Yale
Play on: Brown +8 -102 at 5Dimes

Free Pick on Brown +
I like the value here with the Bears as a near double-digit dog against the Bulldogs. Brown comes in at 3-2 in Ivy League play, while Yale is just 1-4 through their first 5 games. Both teams have had an extended break since their last game, which I think favors the team getting points.
The Bears are 3-1 in their last 4 games overall, but did fail to cover the number in their last game. This puts them in a great spot historically, as they are 12-4 ATS in their last 16 road games when they come in having won 2 of their last 3 and are 30-17 ATS in their last 47 off a game where they failed to cover the number.
Yale is just 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games in league play, 2-7 ATS in their last 9 off a SU loss and a miserable 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games.
We also find a strong system backing a play on the Bears. Road underdogs of 3.5 to 9.5 points who have a winning pct. of 45-55% and are off a home win by 3 points or less are 146-89 (62%) ATS going all the way back to 1997. Take Brown!

NHL | Jets vs Blackhawks
Play on: Blackhawks -106 at 5Dimes

The Hawks find themselves looking up at the Jets in the Central Division standings. Thats due to the Jets' outstanding (16-4) record, at Winnipeg. However, the Jets aren't nearly as formidable on the road. In fact, they're just 10-14 when playing away from Winnipeg. Meanwhile, the Hawks are 11-9 at home. Not the record that they'd like to have here but still superior to the Jets' road record. At a pick'em price, I feel that the Hawks are providing us with very fair value here. Take a look at CHICAGO.

This game features the 8-7 Ohio at the 7-9 Kent State. Love Kent State at home tonight at a virtual pickem Ohio has not won a road game and Kent State is very good at home 5-2 SU. Lock into Kent State for a 15* winner.

Orlando vs. Washington, 01/12/2018 19:00 EDT

Point Spread: +10½/-108 Orlando

Sportsbook:
PinnacleSports

This game features the 12-30 Magic at the 23-18 Wizards. Orlando has lost 6 straight games and they have the young talent but have struggled big time. Magic look for revenge from a 130-103 beatdown at the hands of Washington on their home court look for them to return the favor tonight and cover this one for us. Lot's of cash on the home Wizards tonight who themselves have dropped two straight. Orlando 15-26 ATS this season they are due and I think the books are giving them too many points.
