UNDER 224.5
TORONTO @ ORLANDO | 8/05 | 8:00 PM EDT
The model loves the Under in this potential Eastern Conference playoff preview with 76 percent of the simulations staying Under 224.5. Toronto is one of the NBA's best defensive teams, especially against the 3-pointer, and has the rest advantage in being off since Monday, while it's the second of a back-to-back for Orlando -- so the Magic could have some tired legs.

Istanbul Basakse at (224426) FC Copenhagen under 2.25 (-115)

The Turkish champions Istanbul Basaksehir hold a slim 1-0 advantage over their Danish counterparts FC Copenhagen after an 88th minute penalty was scored by Basaksehir forward Visca to break the deadlock in that game late. Just four shots on goal in total were created in that game, by both teams combined, in a game heavy on possession football but light on goal scoring threat. FC Copenhagen have it all to do here, but nonetheless know that limiting Baskasehir in the same way as they did in the first game and creating more set piece opportunities will be the key to getting them back into this tie.

- Copenhagen have the lowest golas on average scored of any of the remaining 16 teams left in the competition and have gave up just 0.78 goals on average to opposing offenses. They also have the lowest attempts on goal per game in the competition at 6.44 and have the 2nd lowest number of corners averaged, a sign of attacking threat, at just 3.44 per game. Basaksehir meanwhile have the 3rd lowest goals scored average in the competition and the 4th lowest goal attempts average per game at just 10.67. Their number of corners rank little better at 3.67, so these are two teams who have relied primarily on defense to get them through to this stage of the competition.

- Both teams will be cagey out of the gate here with such a slim lead and it will be paramount for FC Copenhagen to shut out Basaksehir in this one, as an away goal could prove crucial for the visitors. Meanwhile, Basksehir will be looking to concentrate on protecting their slender 1-0 lead from the first game, as a goal for the hosts here pushes this game to extra time.

We like Under 2.25 goals here as our projections have this 1.36 on statistical goals average, so that's a ton of value on the line currently on offer at two and a quarter goals in this one.

PLAY: UNDER 2.25

#6 4* Boston Bruins ML -110 (4:00 edt) NBCSN

Embarrassment is a strong motivator for professional athletes and no team is more embarrassed by their performance in their last game than Boston. They basically laid down and let Philly have their way with them. No way they are going to do that here - look for a spirited effort from the Bruins. Tampa Bay is off of a win against Washington so they won't be super motivated here and they will likely be missing Stamkos for this game. Take the Bruins here. Thank you and good luck.

Randy Dobnak has been outstanding through two starts, continuing a trend from last season, and he should handle the scuffling Pirates on Wednesday. Minnesota has won five in a row. Lay it as Pittsburgh falls to 2-10.

The Raptors are 23-4 over their last 27 games and their defense should be the difference here. I'm laying the points against a Magic team playing for the second straight day and hurting from the loss of Jonathan Isaac.

COLORADO @ DALLAS | 8/05 | 6:30 PM EDT

The model has the Avalanche winning 64 percent of the simulations against the Dallas Stars in this Western Conference round-robin game between Central Division teams from Edmonton. Dallas is off a 5-3 loss to Vegas on Monday, blowing a 3-1 lead, while Colorado was a 2-1 upset winner over St. Louis. The Avs are 16-6 in their past 22 games as favorites, while the Stars are on a six-game skid vs. teams with a winning record.

YESTERDAY 6:19 PM
This is the first NBA game of the day Wednesday (2:30 p.m. ET), and that early start time could lead to a defensive slugfest. Sixty-three percent of the model's simulations go Under the total. The Grizzlies are 0-3 in the bubble and the Under is 5-0 in their past five following a loss. It is also 5-0 in the Jazz's past five when they scored at least 100 points in their previous game, which they did Monday in a loss to the Lakers. Bet the Under.

BOSTON @ TAMPA BAY | 8/05 | 6:40 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 5:45 PM
The model is all over this price on Boston because the Red Sox pull the road upset in 50 percent of simulations. It's a matchup of southpaws between the Sox's Martin Perez (1-1, 5.06) and Tampa Bay's Ryan Yarbrough (0-1, 1.54). Perez was pretty good last time out in beating the Mets, and the Rays have lost their past four vs. lefties.

The Raptors have played the Magic three times this season. They've not only won all three games but covered this spread in each of them. This is a back-to-back for the Magic. Toronto had Tuesday off. The Raptors have noteworthy injuries to contend with that we know of. Orlando just lost Jonathan Isaac. The Magic have two big wins over lottery teams but lost by 11 to a low-end playoff opponent in Indiana on Tuesday. How are they going to fare against a Raptors team that just slaughtered the Lakers and beat the Heat?

MEMPHIS @ UTAH | 8/05 | 2:30 PM EDT
9:34 AM
All three of Utah's games so far came in Under this total. So have the last two Memphis games. The Jazz offense has been terrible in Orlando, scoring a pathetic 101.3 points per 100 possessions with Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) sidelined. The Grizzlies just lost Jaren Jackson Jr., and while the drop isn't steep, they were a little less than a point worse per 100 possessions without him this season. Brandon Clarke is up for a bigger role, but the Grizzlies are going to get worse offensively without their versatile big man. Take the Under.

BOSTON @ TAMPA BAY | 8/05 | 6:40 PM EDT
10:31 AM
The Rays ended their five-game losing streak with a 5-1 victory in Tuesday’s series opener. We expect them to win again here, as they are 24-0 SU before their 92nd game of the season as a favorite of more than 135 in the second contest of a series when they used five-plus pitchers in the opener. The Red Sox, on the other hand, are 0-13 SU in the second game of a road series when they did not score after the third inning as an underdog in the opener. We are laying the price.

L.A. DODGERS @ SAN DIEGO | 8/05 | 9:10 PM EDT
10:17 AM
Manny Machado went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Tuesday, which is not a good indicator for the Padres. San Diego is 0-8 SU as an underdog following a home game in which Machado was hitless. Los Angeles needed only six hits in Tuesday's 5-2 win, and this is a positive indicator, as the team is 8-0 SU in the finale of a road series after a game in which it was the favorite and had fewer than seven hits. The Dodgers should establish their divisional dominance by taking the rubber game of this series.

Los Angeles is 21-0 SU as a 120-plus favorite in the second game of a series after it won the first. Wow. The Mariners are 0-13 SU as a home underdog by more than 120 when it is not a series opener and the opponent’s starter has averaged more than 6.6 strikeouts. We make the Angels the play.

CHI. CUBS -195
CHI. CUBS @ KANSAS CITY | 8/05 | 8:05 PM EDT
10:08 AM
Chicago pitchers did not issue a walk Tuesday and Kyle Hendricks produced the team's fifth straight quality start. The Cubs are 17-0 SU as a favorite of more than 180 after a home game in which they yielded fewer than two walks, with 16 of the wins coming by multiple runs. Fitting in nicely here is the fact that the Royals are 0-18 SU as a 170-plus underdog after a game in which they did not draw a walk. The Cubs also are 11-0 SU as a 135-plus favorite when their pitchers have produced five straight quailty starts. Chicago has the value, even at this price.

TORONTO @ ORLANDO | 8/05 | 8:00 PM EDT
10:01 AM
Toronto is 0-9 OU (-10.56 ppg) on the road with less than two days' rest after a win in which it made fewer baskets than its opponent and 0-8 OU on the road with rest after shooting 50-plus percent from 3-point range with at least 10 attempts, staying Under by a staggering 20.4 ppg. Fred VanVleet scored 36 points in Monday's 107-103 victory over Miami. This is a big Under indicator, as Toronto is 0-9 OU all-time after a win in which VanVleet shot under 70 percent and scored at least 14 points more than in his previous game. The Magic have gone Over in 15 straight but are 0-11 OU (-9.18 ppg) as an underdog after a double-digit road loss when facing a team averaging over 30 points from 3s and 0-10 OU (-13.10 ppg) as a home dog following a road loss when meeting a team averaging over 24 assists. The Under is the play.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ L.A. LAKERS | 8/05 | 6:30 PM EDT
11:25 AM
The Thunder will be missing one of their key contributors in this game with Dennis Schröder leaving the team for the birth of his child. Still, they have been stellar away from home this season, going 24-9 ATS on the road or at a neutral location. The Lakers have their own depth issues with Rajon Rondo (thumb) injured and Avery Bradley having opted out. I expect the Lakers to win this game, but the Thunder can make it close, so I’ll take the points.

This is not an ideal situation for the Magic. They just played on Tuesday in what was an 11-point loss to the Pacers. That came on the heels of them losing Jonathan Isaac (knee) for the season. Now they have to face the Raptors, who haven’t played since Monday and have won both of their games in the bubble. They have already faced the Magic three times this season, winning each contest by at least seven points. One was a 16-point win. Despite this lofty line, I like the Raptors to cover.
