Play on: Canadiens +130 at 5Dimes

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #5 Wednesday Montreal Canadiens Money Line (+) @ New Jersey Devils @ 7 ET - The Canadiens are fired up and can't wait to take the ice after blowing a 2-goal lead and only earning 1 point in regulation in an eventual 5-4 loss to the Capitals on Monday. Montreal entered that game having won 3 of their last 4 games overall. Also, the Habs enter this game having won 4 of their last 6 road games. The Devils, on the other hand, have lost 8 of their last 11 games and yet New Jersey is a popular choice of the betting markets early Wednesday morning. Particularly after the line move we've seen, there is a lot of value with the Canadiens as a sizable road dog here. Montreal has won 6 of their 9 games this season when off a game in which they have scored 4 or more goals. New Jersey has lost 25 of 39 when off a game in which they were held to 1 goal or less. Free Pick MONTREAL

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Hurricanes
Play on: Maple Leafs -108 at BMaker

The Toronto Maple Leafs are an elite team and teams should fear them. They got 4 lines rolling and their goaltending has been fantastic. Despite the Hurricanes hot start to the season, the Leafs are still in a great position to win this game. The Canes get a ton of shots on net, but don't necessarily defend well. As the Leafs are playing great defense and always a threat to score 5+ goals, they're a great play Wednesday night.

NBA | Knicks vs Celtics
Play on: Knicks +14 -105 at 5Dimes

Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on New York Knicks +14
The Key: The Celtics just aren’t good enough to be laying 14 points to the Knicks tonight. There’s turmoil in the locker room, and they just can’t be trusted to be laying this kind of number. The Celtics are 3-6 SU & 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games overall. The Knicks have lost 6 straight as well, but they have been competitive this season, and they are certainly capable of staying within 14 points of the Celtics tonight. They only lost 101-103 to Boston as 9.5-point home dogs in their first meeting this season on October 20th. Take New York.

Play on: Celtics -14 -105 at BMaker

Take the Boston Celtics minus the points versus the New York Knicks. New York (4-14) has lost six straight games with their 118-114 loss to to Portland as a 7.5-point underdog last night. The Knicks have then failed to cover the point spread in 5 of their last 7 games played without a day of rest. New York is also just 3-8-1 ATS in their last 12 road games against teams with a winning percentage over 60% on their home court. Boston (9-8) has covered the point spread in 20 of their last 26 games at home. The Celtics have also covered the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games against fellow Atlantic Division opponents. Lay the points with Boston. Best of luck — Frank.

Play on: UNDER 215 -110

On Wednesday night. Play Under on teams like Detroit when the total is 210 or higher, after a win by 10 points or more, against an opponent after three straight wins by 10 points or more. In the past 22 years, the UNDER is 38-11, 77.6%.

NBA | Lakers vs Cavs
Play on: OVER 221 -109

In his return to Cleveland, you know Lebron is going to want to have a big game. When he was with the Heat, he was 12-1 against the Cavs. The last time that he was a visitor in this arena, he scored 43. On Sunday, when facing his 'other' former team, he dropped 51 on the Heat. While they likely don't have the firepower to do so, the Cavs are going to do everything they can to spoil his homecoming. They'll do their best to trade offensive punches. With Laker games averaging 232 points on the season, this total could easily be a bit higher. Consider the Over.

NBA | Blazers vs Bucks
Play on: Bucks -6 -102 at 5Dimes

It may surprise you to know that Milwaukee has the second-best record in the NBA so far. The Bucks have built up this mark in large part because of an 8-1 home mark, 7-1-1 ATS. The Bucks have won every one of their home games except one by 11 or more points. The Bucks have matched up well to the Trail Blazers in recent seasons going 11-3-1 ATS versus them. One of the losses, however, occurred on Nov. 6 in Portland. The Trail Blazers buried the Bucks, 118-103. The Bucks' other three losses have been by an average of three points. That embarrassement to Portland remains fresh in the minds of the Bucks coming just two weeks ago. The spot sets up well for Milwaukee. The Bucks catch the Trail Blazers playing their fourth road game in six days and second in two nights. Portland was taxed by the Knicks last night, winning 118-114, with four of its players logging more than 30 minutes. The Trail Blazers rely heavily on their outstanding backcourt tandem of CJ McCollum and Damian Lillard. McCollum played more than 38 minutes against the Knicks, while Lillard saw more than 36 minutes of action. Portland is out of the gate fast, too, at 12-5. The Trail Blazers have been fortunate with their early-season schedule, though. They beat the Rockets when Houston didn't have James Harden. They also have played a combined seven games versus the Lakers, Timbewolves and Wizards. Those three teams have all been struggling to find their identity.

NBA | Nuggets vs Wolves
Play on: Nuggets +2 -107 at 5Dimes

My free play is on the Den Nuggets at 8:05 ET.
The Denver Nuggets jumped out to a 9-1 start in the 2018-19 season but have seen that hot start 'cool off' rapidly. The Nuggets are 0-2 on their current three-game road trip (let a 17-point, first-half lead get away in Monday's 104-98 loss in Milwaukee) and 'limp' into Minnesota having lost SIX of their last seven. Minnesota is hoping to rebound from Sunday's 100-87 home loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, when it committed 20 turnover. However, it was the team's first loss in four games since trading disgruntled Jimmy Butler to the Philadelphia 76ers.

Play on: Mavs -5½ -105 at BMaker

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Dallas Mavericks -5.5
The Brooklyn Nets are in a difficult spot here tonight against the Dallas Mavericks. They’ll be playing for a second consecutive night after winning in Miami last night. And they’ll be playing their 8th game in 13 days as well. The Mavericks had yesterday off and are 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. They are playing their best ball of the season right now and should be able to take care of this fatigued Brooklyn team. Dallas is 17-5 ATS off a loss by 10 points or more over the last two seasons. The Nets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games playing on zero rest. The Mavericks are 26-9 ATS in their last 35 games following an ATS loss. Dallas is 4-0 ATS in its last four home games. Give me the Mavericks.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Spurs
Play on: Grizzlies +2½ -103 at 5Dimes

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Memphis Grizzlies are 11-5 SU and ATS on the season and will enter AT&T Center on a four-game win streak which includes triumphs at Milwaukee and Minnesota.
They'll take on a slumping Spurs team which has lost four of its last five and gave up 140 points and allowed the Pelicans to shoot 57.8 percent from the floor in a loss at New Orleans Monday night.
Memphis is not a high-scoring team but owns the best scoring defense in the league, and it's defense alone should keep the visitors in this game.
Free pick on Memphis Grizzlies.

NCAA-B | Xavier vs Illinois
Play on: Xavier +1½ -110 at betonline

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Xavier +1.5)
I'll take my chances here with with The Musketeers salvaging a win in the final game at the Maui Invitational. Xavier lost to Auburn in OT 88-79 to get the tournament started and then lost a heartbreaker to San Diego State 79-74. The Musketeers are sitting at 2-3, but their other defeat was against a very good Wisconsin team and they were in that one as well. Xavier needs this game and I just think they will be able to impose their will against a young and inexperienced Illinois team that is really struggling to find their shot in Maui. Illini shot 38.6% from the field against Gonzaga and 38.3% last night against Iowa State. Give me the Musketeers +1.5!
