1* Free Sharp Play on St. Joe's -7½ -105
My money is on the Hawks to cash in an easy win and cover here at home against the Patriots. These two teams come in with similar overall records, which might lead some to take the points, but a closer look shows that St. Joe's has played the much tougher schedule and are the more talented team here. Hawks are 7-3 ATS last 10 at home against a team with a losing record and George Mason is 4-16-1 ATS last 21 vs a team with a winning record. Bet St. Joe's -7.5!

Play on: Canucks +171 at betonline

ASA PLAY ON Free Pick Vancouver Canucks Money Line (+) over Montreal Canadiens, Thursday @ 7:35 PM ET

Although this is a back to back spot for Vancouver, they are playing so well it does not matter. Also, the Canucks are 2-0 their last two back to backs and each win came by a multiple-goal margin. With their win at Ottawa last night, Vancouver has won 9 of its last 13 games. Montreal has lost 7 of its last 12 games on home ice and is truly over-priced here even if Carey Price gets the start for the Canadiens and the Canucks go with a back-up goalie here, we still like the value being offered to Vancouver. The Habs have allowed 3.5 goals per game in their past 4 games. The Canucks have allowed just 15 goals in the last 9 games started by Jacob Markstrom and he could get the call again tonight. Either way, no matter whom is between the pipes for Vancouver, the Canucks have outshot their opponents by a combined total of 70 to 56 in shots on goal the past two games and their strong play continues here as they are rolling with momentum. Free Pick: Vancouver on the money line (+) in early evening action Thursday.

NHL | Capitals vs Blues
Play on: Capitals -118 at betonline

This is a short price to lay getting the defending Stanley Cup champions off an embarrassing 6-3 home loss to the Predators. The Capitals have been crushing weak-to-medicore teams like the Blues winning nine of 10 games before falling to Nashville. During this span the Capitals beat the Senators twice, the Hurricanes twice, the Sabres twice, Red Wings, Blue Jackets and Coyotes. Washington has defeated St. Louis the past five times and has won five of the past six meetings in St. Louis. The Blues can't match the Capitals' firepower. They are averaging two goals during their last five games. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover is a blazing 18-6-1 on his last 25 premium/free hockey plays and has his NHL Game of the Week going today in addition to this free selection.)

NBA | Raptors vs Spurs
Play on: Spurs -1½ -115 at BMaker

Spurs
Kawhi Leonard makes his highly anticipated return to San Antonio when the Toronto Raptors visit the Spurs on Thursday. Leonard was once a beloved figure and NBA Finals MVP for the Spurs but returns as a villain after last season's falling out with the franchise, following seven seasons and the subsequent trade to Toronto.

Leonard tuned up for his return to San Antonio by scoring a career-best 45 points in Tuesday's 122-116 victory over the visiting Utah Jazz.
Leonard's former team is playing well with 10 victories in 13 games after Monday's impressive 120-111 win over the Boston Celtics. San Antonio standout shooting guard DeMar DeRozan had just 13 points on 6-of-18 against Boston but figures to be revved up after being dealt by the Raptors in the trade to acquire Leonard.
The Spurs have won nine straight home games in the series with the Raptors last prevailing 83-73 on Dec. 28, 2007.
Raptors are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games playing on 1 days rest and are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games. Spurs are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 vs. NBA Atlantic. Raptors are 1-5 ATS in the last 6 meetings in San Antonio.

NBA | Raptors vs Spurs
Play on: Spurs -1½ -115 at BMaker

The set-up: Toronto’s Kawhi Leonard returns to San Antonio to face his former team tonight and I think that Spur’s coach Gregg Popovich and company will risk life and limb here to try and secure a victory. Toronto enters off a satisfying 122-116 home win over Utah on Tuesday, while San Antonio got the better of Boston 120-111 at home most recently. Leonard had 45 points in the victory over the Jazz, but with “floor general” Kyle Lowry still sidelined with injury for the Raptors, I think the visitors will have a hard time matching pace with a motivated San Antonio team in its own building. Let’s not forget about DeMar DeRozan either, who felt slighted with the Leonard trade and who will be out to destroy his former club.
The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but the Raptors are just 9-10 ATS on the road this season anyways and a poor 5-9 ATS following a home victory, while San Antonio is 14-6 ATS at home and 4-1 ATS in its last five when playing with two days rest. I think this one has blowout written all over it. Consider SA in this one.

NCAA-B | St. Mary's vs San Francisco
Play on: San Francisco -2 -109 at GTBets

Dave’s Thursday Free Play:
1* on San Francisco -2
The Key: St. Mary’s is having one of its worst seasons in recent memory. The Gaels are just 9-6 this season, but they’re being treated like they are the team they used to be by oddsmakers. San Francisco is the new second-best team in the WCC this season behind Gonzaga. This is a Dons team that is 12-2 this year with its only two losses coming to very good Buffalo and UC-Santa Barbara teams both on the road by a combined 6 points. They have wins over Cal and Stanford by 19 and 9 points, respectively. The Dons are 9-0 SU & 6-2 ATS at home this year and winning by 21.4 PPG. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The Gaels are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 against WCC teams. Take San Francisco.

NBA | Nuggets vs Kings
Play on: Kings +3½ -104 at betonline

Tonight selection is based on conditions that pertain to being significant to the current matchup. Sacramento (19-18) is coming off a tough 113-108 overtime loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, but despite of being on short rest are well conditioned and will primed to bounce back with revenge on board for a loss they suffered to Denver earlier this season. Note: The Kings are 10-0 ATS with less than two days rest off a home game when they lost 2 straight vs current opponent . Also The Kings are 8-0 ATS/SU with less than two days rest when they are off two losses as dogs which has just happened and are are 8-0-1 ATS and 9-0 SU at home when the line is within 3 of pick with less than two days rest after they shot under 40% from the field and it is before the All-Star break. The Kings are also 6-0 ATS L/6 as a dog with less than two days rest off a home game.
SACRAMENTO is 14-4 ATS when the total is 220 to 229.5 this season.
Denver has a great record this season, and deservers respect, but the Nuggets have a recent down trend in this situation as they are just 0-11 ATS/SU on the road when the line is within 3 of pick off a win facing an opponent averaging less than 16 percent of points off free throws like the Kings are and also 0-6 ATS L/6 as a road favorite with rest off a game as a favorite in which they had at least a 10 percent higher BAP than their opponent . They did however win 2 of those games but they came by 2 points /one possession each time.
Home teams vs. the money line (SACRAMENTO) - after failing to cover the spread in 4 or more consecutive games, winning between 51% and 60% of their games on the season are 43-11 SU L/5 seasons for a 80% conversion rate for bettors.

Play on: UNDER 225 -110

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Rockets/Warriors UNDER 225
The Rockets and Warriors played in the Western Conference Finals last year and went seven games. And they’ve already met once this season with the Rockets beating the Warriors 107-86. Each of the last six meetings in this series have seen 211 or fewer combined points. This total is too high tonight, especially with the Rockets playing without both Chris Paul and Eric Gordon. The UNDER is 40-19-1 in Rockets last 60 games against a team that wins more than 60% of their games. The UNDER is 10-2 in Rockets last 12 Thursday games. The UNDER is 8-2 in Warriors last 10 home games against a team with a losing road record. The UNDER is 20-8 in the last 28 meetings. Give me the UNDER.

Play on: UCLA -8 -104 at pinnacle

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (UCLA -8)
I'll take my chances here with UCLA. The Bruins are coming off an embarrassing 15-point loss at home to Liberty for their 4th straight loss. That defeat proved to be the last for head coach Steve Alford. This might not be one of the best UCLA rosters, but there's talent on this team. It just seems like whenever a head coach is fired it in turns lights a fire under the players and they play extremely hard those first few games. Stanford is the perfect opponent for the Bruins to get right against. The Cardinal are way down this year and will be lucky to keep this within single digits. Give me UCLA -8!
