NCAA-B | Brown vs Harvard
Play on: Brown +10½ -109 at pinnacle

Harvard has won six straight since losing to Brown back on February 8th. This team has won all but one of those contests by single digits including three at home. They have a backcourt deficiency especially if Christian Juzang is out as they are already without Bryce Aiken. Juzang put up 10 points in 26 minutes in Harvard's one point loss at Brown. The Bears have lost three straight and four of their last five after a five game win streak. Numerically, this offense isn't great, but they've won at Columbia and Penn in conference play. I think this is way too many points as the Bears have guards that can make things interesting.

NCAA-B | Valparaiso vs Loyola-Chicago
Play on: Loyola-Chicago -5 -118 at pinnacle

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Loyola-Chicago -5
The Key: Loyola-Chicago has a big rest advantage over Valparaiso tonight. They had yesterday off while Valparaiso had to play the late game against Evansville last night. And they needed to go to the wire with the Purple Aces in a 58-55 win as 7.5-point favorites. That’s an Evansville team that went 0-18 in MVC play this year. The Ramblers have the Crusaders’ number in going 7-0 SU & 4-2-1 ATS in the last seven matchups. The Crusaders are 6-14-1 ATS in their last 21 games off a win. Take Loyola-Chicago.

NBA | Spurs vs Nets
Play on: Nets -3 -110 at Bovada

10* FREE NBA PICK (Nets -3)
I'll take my chances here with Brooklyn laying a mere 3-points at home against the Spurs. I think we are getting some value here with the Nets. Brooklyn covered as a 7.5-point dog at Miami and then won outright a few days later at Boston as a 6.5-point dog. They scored 51 in the 4th quarter against the Celtics to force OT in that game.
Few teams are going to play well on no rest after a game like Brooklyn had against Boston and that's why the Grizzlies were my biggest play of the day in that matchup. Memphis went on to win 118-79.
I think that result has the Nets showing value here, as it really take a lot away from their previous two performances. You look at their recent schedule and you see a team that is just 1-5 SU in their last 6 games. Not exactly an easy back as a favorite. Also, I think there's value with Brooklyn still with the injury to Irving. The perception is that's a big loss and it looks even worse given their recent struggles, but in reality the Nets have been a better team this season without Irving on the floor.
As for the Spurs, San Antonio is a major disappointment and given their ugly 11-20 record on the road, I don't know how you trust them here. Keep in mind Spurs are down big man LaMarcus Aldridge, as well as his backup Jakob Poeltl.
Last time out the SA barely escaped with a 104-103 win at Charlotte. I think it's also worth noting that it can't be easy here for the Spurs to be back on the road. San Antonio had to play 6 straight on the road before the break and another two when they got back. Not to mention this might be the least exciting road trip you could put together playing the Hornets, Nets and Cavs in 6 day stretch. Give me the Nets -3!

NHL | Blackhawks vs Red Wings
Play on: Blackhawks -1½ +155 at GTBets

Blackhawks -1.5
The Blackhawks (31-28-8) 6-3 in their last 10 travel to Detroit tonight to take on the Red Wings (15-48-5) 1-8-1 in their last 10 at Little Caesars Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:30pm ET.
The Blackhawks are finding some late in the season magic. They've scored 18 goals in their modest 4-game winning streak, and are making a case for a wild-card in the Western Conference. Patrick Kane loves playing against the Wings and he'll lead this team tonight. He has 43 career points in 48 games vs. the Wings. DeBrincat is starting to get going as well, which will cause the Wings to have to worry about secondary scoring in this one too.
If you didn't already know there will be no playoffs for Detroit this year. They're already officially eliminated from the post-season. A dark twist of fate for hockey-town. They're also bleeding goals. The Wings have allowed at least 4 goals in 8 of their last 10.
Chicago are 5-2 SU in their last 7 games this season. 4-1 SU in their last 5, and 4-1 SU in their last 5 against Detroit. The Wings have lost 10 of their last 11, are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games, and 2-9 SU in their last 11 games at home. To boot the Red Wings have scored 2 goals or fewer in 9 of their last 11 games.
It's hard to think the Wings can compete in this one when they rank nearly at the bottom of the NHL in goals & goals against. (3.75GAA) The Hawks make it 5 in a row vs. the Wings with a nice win on Friday night.
Hawks -1.5. (4-2 or 5-2 win)
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

NBA | Magic vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves +2½ -110 at betonline

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Minnesota Timberwolves +2.5
The Timberwolves are playing much better with De’Angelo Russell running the show. They pulled the 139-134 upset in New Orleans as double-digit dogs before coming back home and taking down the Bulls 115-108 as 2-point favorites. The Orlando Magic have lost three straight coming in. The Magic lost second-leading scorer Evan Fournier (18.8 PPG) to injury late in the loss to the Heat and he is doubtful to play for them tonight. And the Timberwolves should want revenge from a 125-136 loss in Orlando on February 28th just a week ago. Give me the Timberwolves.

NBA | Pacers vs Bulls
Play on: Bulls +3 -103 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Chicago Bulls +3
The Chicago Bulls have been playing well at home here of late. The Bulls are 2-1 SU & 3-0 ATS in their last three home games with wins and covers against the Mavericks and Wizards, as well as a 2-point loss to the Thunder as 7.5-point dogs.
Look for the Bulls to continue their solid play at home now that they are getting healthier. They are without Zach Lavine, but they recently got back three of their best players in Wendell Carter Jr., Lauri Markkanen and Otto Porter Jr. Coby White is averaging 28.0 points per game in his last six games and one of the best rookies in the NBA.
The Pacers just played the Bucks and lost by 19 on the road. I always like fading teams after playing the best teams in the NBA because they have a hard time getting motivated for their next opponent. And I’ll gladly fade the short-handed Pacers, who will be without Malcolm Brogdon and could be without Victor Oladipo, T.J. Warren and Doug McDermott, who are all listed as questionable. They just lost Jeremy Lamb to a season-ending injury as well.
The Bulls also want revenge from an overtime loss at Indiana, which was their 3rd loss in three meetings this season. They will be motivated to avoid the season sweep. Chicago is 5-2 ATS in its last seven home meetings with Indiana. Bet the Bulls Friday.

NCAA-B | VCU vs Davidson
Play on: Davidson -4½ -107 at pinnacle

Take the Davidson Wildcats minus the points versus the VCU Rams. Davidson (15-14) has lost their last two games with their 80-63 loss at Richmond as a 5.5-point underdog on Wednesday. The Wildcats have then covered the point spread in 37 of their last 54 games after a loss on the road to a conference rival. Davidson returns home where they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 6 games. VCU (18-12) has lost six of their last seven contests with their 80-77 upset loss to Duquesne on Wednesday. The Rams have then failed to cover the point spread after a loss. VCU has also failed to cover the point spread in 25 of their last 33 games as an underdog. Lay the points with Davidson. Best of luck — Frank.

NCAA-B | VCU vs Davidson
Play on: Davidson -4 -107 at pinnacle

Free College Basketball Prediction from Doc’s Sports: Take #862 Davidson -4 over VCU (9 p.m., Friday, March 6) VCU has fallen off the rails down the stretch with a 5-game losing streak before getting back on track against a terrible George Washington team last weekend. Now they close out the season on the road against Davidson, a team with talent. Davidson needs this win at home to improve their seeding in the Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament and will get revenge for an 11-point loss in Richmond earlier this season.

NCAA-B | Loyola Marymount vs San Francisco
Play on: San Francisco -6 -110 at YouWager

1* NCAAB - Free Pick on San Francisco -6
Easy play here on San Francisco in their 2nd round matchup against Loyola Marymount. The Dons are at a huge rest advantage. Lions had to play yesterday against San Diego in the 1st round of the WCC Tournament, while the Dons had a bye.
San Francisco won both meetings in the regular season, but did only win by 2 as a 5.5-point favorite in the regular-season finale, which I think is playing into the value here.
What people overlook with that result is the Dons were able to win on the road despite Loyola shooting 54% from the field and SF only connecting on 42%. That's a real good sign that this one could get ugly in a hurry.
San Francisco has covered 40 of their last 59 away from home when coming in having won two or more in a row (Don's riding a 3-game win streak). They are also 9-3-1 ATS last 13 as a neutral site favorite. Lions are 1-6 ATS last 7 off a win. Take San Francisco!

NCAA-B | Boise State vs San Diego State
Play on: San Diego State -9 -106 at pinnacle

DMack's Free Play for Friday, March 6, 2020 is on the San Diego State Aztecs
The basketball Gods smiled on Boise this week by the Broncos get sent home to prepare for a minor tournament after facing the Aztecs here. The Broncos were smoked on this floor by UNLV on Saturday night, but beat the Rebels 67-61 last night in a game that saw the hosts down two starters to injury. SDSU needs to wake up and has trailed their last four games at the half. The Aztecs pounded by twice (18, 17) during the year and Boise just does not match up well against the SDSU scheme. Look for the Aztecs to flip the switch here and win going away by 20.
