Play on: Ohio +9 -107 at pinnacle

1* Free Sharp Play on Ohio +9 -107
My money is on the Bobcats to cash in an easy cover here as a near double-digit road dog against the Rockets. Ohio is in a prime bounce back spot off a 66-52 loss at home to Kent State. Bobcats are 4-0 ATS last 4 games off a double-digit loss at home. Toledo 4-10 ATS last 14 at home against a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games. Bet Ohio +9!

NBA | Grizzlies vs Celtics
Play on: Grizzlies +11 -109 at GTBets

Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Memphis Grizzlies +11
This is a good ‘buy low’ opportunity on the Memphis Grizzlies tonight. They have gone just 3-14 SU & 2-15 ATS in their last 17 games overall. The betting public wants nothing to do with them now, and the Grizzlies will be a dog of 9.5 or more points for just the 5th time all season here tonight.
The Grizzlies won outright in two of the previous four instances they were a dog of 9.5 or more this year. They won 92-84 as 11-point dogs at Utah, and won 116-113 as 9.5-point dogs at Milwaukee. The only time they lost outright were against the Warriors in their two road meetings with them, which is understandable.
I like the spot to go against Boston, too, which is coming off a huge home win over the Toronto Raptors. It’s clearly a letdown spot for them. And they know they have another game tomorrow night against Atlanta on deck, so don’t be surprised to see them conserve their energy here against the Grizzlies tonight.
Plays against favorites of 10 or more points (Boston) - after failing to cover two of their last three against the spread against an opponent that has failed to cover eight or more of their last 10 are 74-40 (64.9%) ATS since 1996. Memphis is 14-4 ATS in its last 18 trips to Boston. Bet the Grizzlies Friday.

NBA | Heat vs Pistons
Play on: Pistons -2 -109 at pinnacle

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Detroit Pistons -2
The Key: The home team has won 4 of the last 5 meetings with the only exception coming when the Heat beat the Pistons in overtime in their first and only meeting this year. That places the Pistons in revenge mode, and they are certainly playing well enough right now to get their revenge. Detroit is 3-0 ATS in its last 3 games winning outright at the Clippers, only losing by 6 as 7.5-point underdogs at Utah, and covering in a home win over Orlando. The Heat are coming off an 86-124 road loss to the Bucks. That followed up another ugly 24-point loss at Atlanta in their previous road game. Take Detroit.

NBA | Grizzlies vs Celtics
Play on: OVER 207 -105

The total in this NBA clash has shot up from 206 to 208.5, now down to 207. That would seem to make sense as the average Memphis road game is 206.3 total points and a Celtics home game is 217.2 total points. However, it's not a lock since the Grizzlies are 11-3 UNDER after two or more consecutive losses this season. Nonetheless, still agree with where the number moved to and Boston is 10-0 OVER at home after allowing 105 points or more in four straight contests.

NBA | Nets vs Magic
Play on: Nets +1½ -104 at pinnacle

Nets
The Brooklyn Nets have won 15 of their past 20 games and are brimming with confidence as they enter Friday's game against the host Orlando Magic. The Nets staged frantic comebacks in regulation and overtime Wednesday to record an improbable 145-142 road win over the powerful Houston Rockets.

Guard Spencer Dinwiddie scored 33 points against Houston, including three 3-pointers in the final 26.2 seconds of regulation and the go-ahead three-point play with 28 seconds left in overtime to cap the stunning effort.
Orlando has dropped 10 of its last 15 games after suffering a 120-115 overtime road loss against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday.
Brooklyn is attempting to go over .500 for the first time this season and has recovered nicely from an 8-18 start. We’ll back them on the road in Orlando.

NBA | Heat vs Pistons
Play on: Heat +2½ -107 at pinnacle

10* FREE NBA PICK (Heat +2.5)
I'll take my chances here with Miami going into Detroit and getting a win. The Heat are coming off an embarrassing 124-86 loss at Milwaukee. Those are the kind of losses that don't sit well and we typically see teams really come with a lot of fire in that next game. I think it definitely helps Miami that they have had a full 2-days off since that loss. The other thing here for me is the Pistons just aren't a very good team. They needed overtime to beat the Magic at home in their last game and allowed Orlando to shoot 50% from the field in the contest. That's the 5th time in the last 6 games that they have let the opposition shoot 49% or better from the field. Heat are 21-9 ATS in their last 30 road games off a loss and a perfect 9-0 ATS last 9 road games after a loss by 30 or more. Give me Miami +2.5!

NHL | Maple Leafs vs Panthers
Play on: Panthers +118 at betonline

#NHL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Florida Panthers are 0-5-2 through their first seven games of 2019, but only one of those defeats came home at BB&T Center (an overtime loss to Columbus).
I think the Panthers will pick up a win here against a Toronto Maple Leafs side in a let down spot following a huge 4-2 win as an underdog at NHL-best Tampa Bay last night.
Florida meanwhile will be motivated to end its current slide. The home team also has the advantate of being fairly well rested after getting time to recharge from a five-game road trip that ended with a 5-1 loss at Montreal Tuesday night.
The Panthers have won four straight meetings with Toronto in their building, a trend I expect to hold true tonight as well.
Free pick on Florida Panthers.

NBA | Spurs vs Wolves
Play on: OVER 225½ -110

Take Over the Total in the game between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves. San Antonio (26-20) enters this game coming off a 105-101 win at Dallas on Wednesday. The Spurs have played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total after a point spread win. The Over is also 16-5-1 in their last 22 road games against teams with a winning record at home. Minnesota (21-23) comes off a 149-107 loss at Philadelphia on Tuesday. The Timberwolves have played 32 of their last 43 games Over the Total after allowing at least 125 points in their last contest. Minnesota has also played 5 of their last 7 home games against teams with a losing record. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.
