TORONTO -9.5
BROOKLYN @ TORONTO | 8/17 | 4:00 PM EDT
The Nets played better in the bubble than anyone expected, but now they're facing a healthy, locked-in Raptors team that matches up well. Brooklyn relies on 3-pointers; in the bubble, the Nets took over 41 percent of their shots from beyond the arc. Toronto excels at making opponents miss from deep. Lay the points.

BROOKLYN @ TORONTO | 8/17 | 4:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 11:22 PM
Brooklyn's point totals have tended to trend toward the Over in the bubble, but a lot of that has been due to opponents missing players via injury or rest, and a fairly poor slate of defenses on its schedule. The Raptors either hit this total exactly or went Under in their first six bubble games. With their foot off the gas pedal in the last two, they went Over, but their defense is so overwhelming and well-suited for the playoffs that plenty of low-scoring games are likely in their future, especially given the shooting regression Brooklyn probably will experience. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot didn't just magically become a 45-percent 3-point shooter overnight.

DENVER -4.5
UTAH @ DENVER | 8/17 | 1:30 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 11:18 PM
The Nuggets went undefeated against the Jazz this season, and Utah is more depleted than ever now. They will be without Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist), Ed Davis (knee) and Mike Conley, who left the bubble for the birth of his son. Barring an absolute outburst from Donovan Mitchell or extremely hot shooting from Jordan Clarkson and Joe Ingles, there's little reason to believe Utah can score enough to keep up with the Nuggets. That's especially true given Utah's lack of bigger wings to throw at Michael Porter Jr. and the trouble Nikola Jokic's perimeter game will give Rudy Gobert.

TAMPA BAY -160
TAMPA BAY @ COLUMBUS | 8/17 | 3:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 11:03 PM
My model says the Lightning win in almost 70 percent of the simulations. Tampa Bay still is without captain Steven Stamkos (lower body), but Brayden Point has been a force in this series. The 24-year-old center has scored three of the Lightning's seven goals and set up another. Both of Tampa Bay's victories have been 3-2 decisions, including one the five-overtime classic in the series opener. Expect the Lightning to push Columbus to the brink of elimination on Monday.

MINNESOTA -195
KANSAS CITY @ MINNESOTA | 8/17 | 8:10 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:56 PM
Minnesota has won four of its last six contests, with three of the victories being 4-2 decisions. Two of those triumphs have come in this series. The Twins are looking to win the set after losing all three games at Kansas City last weekend. My model says Minnesota wins in well over 70 percent of the simulations. Look for the Twins to clinch its second straight series win.

12-8 LAST 20 MLB SIDES | +574

L.A. CLIPPERS -6
DALLAS @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 8/17 | 9:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:40 PM
My model says the Clippers cover the spread in well over 60 percent of the simulations. Los Angeles finished the regular season by winning four of its final five contests. It also won all three meetings with Dallas, including a 126-111 triumph in the bubble on Aug. 6. Expect the Clippers to post a similar victory Monday.

OVER 9
N.Y. METS @ MIAMI | 8/17 | 7:10 PM EDT
9:26 AM
The Mets are 10-0 OU in the first game of a road series with no rest against a right-hander when they lost the previous three times they faced a righty and 13-0 OU since the start of last season as favorites before game 90 when they are coming off a game as an underdog in which they allowed four-plus runs. The Marlins are 8-0 OU in the first game of a series with no rest as a home underdog when they are coming off a game as a dog and their starter worked fewer than four innings in his previous start. Miami has gone Over by an average of 4.75 runs in this spot. We make the Over the play.

19-6 IN LAST 25 MLB PICKS | +1071
CHI. WHITE SOX -145
DETROIT @ CHI. WHITE SOX | 8/17 | 8:10 PM EDT
9:22 AM
Detroit's Matthew Boyd allowed seven runs and failed to make it out of the fourth inning in his last start. This is a negative indicator, as the Tigers are 0-9 SU with Boyd when he worked fewer than five innings in his previous start. The Tigers allowed an average of 7.62 runs in those nine games. The White Sox are a reliable 6-0 SU as favorites after a win as a favorite in which they never trailed and 14-0 SU as a favorite of more than 120 when they are coming off a game in which they scored runs in fewer than three innings. The White Sox have value at this price.

COLORADO -1.5
COLORADO @ ARIZONA | 8/17 | 5:30 PM EDT
10:16 AM
This series has been dominated by the Avs, and I look for them to take a commanding 3-1 lead. They've outshot the Coyotes 119-69 overall, including 51-23 in Game 3. The Coyotes managed to win, though, behind the stellar play of Darcy Kuemper. For Game 4, Play Colorado -1.5 goals at +150.

4-3 IN LAST 7 NHL ATS PICKS | +240

L.A. DODGERS -1.5
SEATTLE @ L.A. DODGERS | 8/17 | 9:40 PM EDT
10:10 AM
The Dodgers have struggled at home, but this is a very favorable matchup for them. Seattle has dropped five straight overall contests and is just 4-9 on the road this year. Los Angeles is riding a five-game winning streak and leads the major leagues with 43 home runs.

N.Y. YANKEES -1.5
BOSTON @ N.Y. YANKEES | 8/17 | 7:05 PM EDT
9:59 AM
The Yankees are dominating this series and it doesn't seem to matter who is in their lineup or on the mound. Boston's pitching staff is one of the worst in the AL. New York is looking for its 10th consecutive win against its long-time rival and is an incredible 9-1 at home this year. Boston has been outscored 100-50 in losing 14 of the last 15 meetings. The Red Sox are in the midst of a seven-game losing streak. Their 6-16 record is the worst in the AL, they own a major league-worst 6.03 ERA and they've been outscored 67-32 during their skid.

17-11 LAST 28 MLB SIDES | +269

OVER 218.5
PHILADELPHIA @ BOSTON | 8/17 | 6:30 PM EDT
9:59 AM
The Celtics are healthy and averaged 119 points in the bubble. Philly has averaged over 120 points since the restart, making more than 41 percent of its 3-pointers. This will be a fast-paced game with a lot of 3-point attempts, free throws, and points off the bench. The Over is 11-3 in Philly's last 14 games. Go Over.

2-1 IN LAST 3 NBA PICKS | +90

OVER 222
BROOKLYN @ TORONTO | 8/17 | 4:00 PM EDT
9:54 AM
Both teams shoot a lot of threes, leading to long rebounds and fast-break points. Toronto has six players averaging in double digits and a deep bench. Brooklyn will play small-ball and knock down a lot of treys. Go Over.

The Nets are no joke. They can score. The Raptors went 7-1 in the bubble but they have a history of struggles in Game 1 of a playoff series (5-14 ATS). The Nets ended Toronto's franchise-record 15-game win streak in the last meeting, so they will enter this one with confidence. Grab the points.

The Dodgers offense has started to click avg 10 hits/gm the last 6 and they are coming off an easy Sunday win in which they rested a few players. On the flipside the Mariners are playing their 7th straight road game, they’ve lost 5 straight and are 3-12 their last 15 games. Seattle has also avg’d just 5 its per game their last 5. Stripling is coming off his first loss in a game he lasted only 4 2/3. Justin Dunn is a young prospect that has made 3 starts but he’s avg 4 1/3 inning per start with a 8-10 K-W ratio leading to a 1.62 WHIP.
