NBA | Lakers vs Heat
Play on: Heat -8 -109 at pinnacle

The Heat eked out a win, at LA, when these teams met in February. Playing at home, they should blow out the Lakers tonight. They're relatively healthy while the defending champs are without their big guns. The Heat know they play their next four on the road. Off a loss last time out, they can't afford to squander tonight's opportunity. With the Lakers just 6-13-1 ATS against teams from the Eastern Conference and 3-7 ATS as underdogs, consider laying the points.

NBA | Lakers vs Heat
Play on: UNDER 204½ -112

Mike Lundin's Lakers vs Heat Free Pick April 8, 2021
The Los Angeles Lakers have managed to pick some wins lately, despite missing Lebron James and Anthony Davis. The Lakers have won four of their last six, thanks to strong efforts on the defensive end. Through that six-game stretch, the Lakers have limited their opponents to 86, 93, 112, 94, 104 and 101 points. All but one of those games went under the total. The Miami Heat have the No. 4 scoring defense in the league, holding opponents to 107.4 points per game.
Under is 21-6 in Lakers last 27 road games. Under is 9-4 in Heat last 13 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Under is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.
Free pick on UNDER.

NHL | Stars vs Blackhawks
Play on: UNDER 5½ -113

Thursday NHL Free play. My selection is on the 'under' between Dallas and Chicago at 8:05 pm et on Thursday.
The first matchup in this two-game set snuck 'over' the total thanks to three period goals on Tuesday night. I'm anticipating a lower-scoring affair on Thursday night, however. Note that the Stars have been a low-scoring team on the road this season, averaging just 2.4 goals per game. While the Blackhawks have been known for their offense over the years, they check in allowing a respectable 2.8 goals per game on home ice this season. The 'under' has gone 17-6 with the Stars coming off a road loss against a division opponent over the last three seasons, with those games averaging a total of just 4.4 goals. Meanwhile, Chicago checks in having posted a 4-11 o/u record after losing four or five of its last six games this season, with those contests totaling an average of just 5.0 goals. It's also worth noting that the 'under' has cashed at a 12-4 clip with the Stars playing on the road revenging a road loss by two goals or more over the last two seasons, with those games totaling just 4.5 goals on average. Both teams will travel following this one, with Dallas returning home to host the Panthers on Saturday and Chicago heading to Columbus for a two-game set beginning on Saturday. Take the under (8*).

MLB | A's vs Astros
Play on: A's +136 at BetCris

Jack's Free Pick Thursday: Oakland A's +136
I like the value we are getting on the Oakland A's after a disastrous 1-6 start to the season. It's time to 'buy low' on the A's as they will be highly motivated for a victory in Game 1 of this series with the Houston Astros after getting swept by them in four games to start the season.
The A's were favored in three of those four games against the Astros, and now they are big +136 underdogs in Game 1 of this series. That just goes to show the kind of line value we are getting on them based off of one week of action.
It's a good time to 'sell high' on the Astros after opening 5-1 this season. Christian Javier is getting too much respect here. He has never beaten the A's, going 0-2 with a 6.94 ERA in three career starts against them, allowing 9 earned runs and 4 HR's in 11 2/3 innings. He gave up 2 earned runs in 3 2/3 innings in his first start against them this season. Bet the A's Thursday.

NBA | Bucks vs Mavs
Play on: Mavs PK -110 at linepros

1* NBA - Bucks/Mavs *FREE PICK* on Mavericks Pick'em
Thursday's Free NBA Pick is on the Dallas Mavericks as a pick'em at home against the Milwaukee Bucks. I know the Mavs just lost outright as a double-digit favorite at Houston last night, but I believe a lot of that showing was a result of Dallas looking ahead to this game against the Bucks. I expect to see the same team that won and covered their previous 5 before laying an egg against Houston. As for Milwaukee, they figure to have a harder time bouncing back from a loss in their last game. Bucks lost a heartbreaker 121-122 at Golden State on Tuesday. This will also be Milwaukee's 6th and final game of a 6-game road trip. Bet the Mavs PK!

NBA | Suns vs Clippers
Play on: Clippers -5 -102 at pinnacle

Ricky's 1* play on the Clippers.
Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.
- The Suns are 3-10 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
- The Suns are 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings in Los Angeles.
- The Suns are 0-4 ATS in their last four games following an ATS win.
Verdict: The Suns could suffer a let down here on back to back nights off an OT win.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Sacramento Kings -7
The Sacramento Kings will be looking for a win tonight after dropping four straight games coming in. They had won five straight prior to this skid. Now they've had the last two days off and should be fresh and ready to take down the Detroit Pistons, who will be playing their 9th game in 14 days and their 3rd road game in 4 days. Now the Pistons will be without their best player in Jerami Grant, who averages 22.5 points per game and is in the running for the Most Improved Player award. They don't have enough talent to hang with Sacramento without him. Give me the Kings.
