Rating: 3 Unit PAC-12 Play of the Day Following a 70-66 victory over USC on Feb. 20, the Buffs have dropped a home decision to UCLA (70-63) and were swept on last weekend’s road trip at California (76-62) and Stanford (72-64). That’s bumped Colorado down into a four-way, third-place Pac-12 tie with USC, Arizona and Arizona State - all at 10-7.

03-07-20 | Predators +132 v. Stars | 1-0 | Win | 132 | 2 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Dallas Stars have dropped off the pace in the race for Central Division supremacy and may have to start looking over their shoulder due to their longest losing streak in more than three months. One of the teams chasing the Stars is the Nashville Predators, who will look to complete a home-and-home sweep when the teams collide in Dallas. Consider that Dallas is 2-5 in their last 7 vs. Central. |

03-07-20 | Georgia +9 v. LSU | Top | 64-94 | Loss | -109 | 3 h 39 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit SEC Play of the Day The Tigers sit in a three-way tie for second place with Auburn and Florida in the league standings, but they committed 35 fouls that led to 54 Arkansas free throws in Wednesday’s 99-90 road loss - LSU’s sixth defeat in its last nine games following a 17-4 start. Consider that Georgia is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as an underdog and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a ATS loss. |

03-06-20 | Pacers -4 v. Bulls | 108-102 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana sits three games behind the Miami Heat for the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference and homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs and was happy with the effort but not the execution against the Bucks. Chicago lost 11 of its last 13 games and got two key players back from the injured list only to add another this week with Otto Porter Jr. (foot) and Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) returning and Zach LaVine (quad) going down. "I just went out there and played, started moving," Markkanen told reporters after making his return in a 115-108 loss to Minnesota on Wednesday. Consider that Indiana is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a ATS loss. |
|||||||
03-06-20 | Magic -2 v. Wolves | 132-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Timberwolves are trying to win three in a row for the first time since the first three games of the season after knocking off New Orleans and Chicago on back-to-back nights this week - matching the team's win total from the previous 22 games. Consider however, that Minnesota is 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games playing on 1 days rest while Orlando is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings in Minnesota. |
|||||||
03-06-20 | Blackhawks -155 v. Red Wings | 1-2 | Loss | -155 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Seemingly left for dead in the postseason chase after dropping nine of 11 (2-7-2) last month, Chicago has roared back with a vengeance and piled up 18 goals during its four-game winning streak. The Blackhawks, who also have won four straight and seven of nine against the Red Wings, have crept within four points of the second wild card in the clustered Western Conference following Thursday's 4-3 victory over Edmonton. Detroit, which was the first team to be officially eliminated from postseason contention this season, is in the midst of its fifth losing streak of at least six games. The Red Wings have dropped 10 of their last 11 games (1-9-1) and have been limited to two goals or fewer nine times in that span. |
|||||||
03-06-20 | Blues -183 v. Devils | 2-4 | Loss | -183 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units There has been no Stanley Cup hangover for the St. Louis Blues, who made history by becoming only the second team to string together three winning streaks of at least seven games one season after winning the championship. The Blues will go for their season-high ninth consecutive victory when they visit the New Jersey Devils. St. Louis owns the second-best record in hockey but, despite the hot streak, holds only a two-point edge over the Colorado Avalanche atop the Central Division. The Blues have completely dominated the series in the past decade, winning 15 of 16 and posting its 12th straight victory over New Jersey with a 3-0 shutout on Feb. 18 that started the current eight-game run. The Devils rebounded from the defeat with St. Louis by earning points in six consecutive games (4-0-2), a streak that came to an end in a 3-0 setback at Vegas on Tuesday. |
|||||||
03-06-20 | Hawks v. Wizards -3 | 112-118 | Win | 100 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Wizards sit 4 1/2 games out of the final Eastern Conference playoff spot entering today’s home matchup with the Atlanta Hawks and need to turn things around after losing six of their past eight games. The Wizards ended a western road trip at 1-3 following Wednesday’s 125-104 defeat at Portland, and a defense allowing an NBA-worst 120.2 points per game surrendered 125-plus points five times in the past seven games. Atlanta has played better since a 7-27 start, going 12-17 since New Year’s Day, but its bid for the first three-game winning streak of the season ended with an ugly 127-88 home loss to Memphis on Monday. Consider that Washington is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 home games. |
|||||||
03-05-20 | Stars -105 v. Predators | 0-2 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas has dropped three in a row for the first time in three months, coming out on the short end of its third straight one-goal decision in Tuesday's 2-1 overtime setback to visiting Edmonton. Like Dallas, the Predators have also hit a rut by dropping three in a row to fall two points out of the second wild card in the Western Conference. Consider that Dallas is 10-1 in their last 11 after scoring 2 goals or less in their previous game. |
|||||||
03-05-20 | Bruins -144 v. Panthers | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 3 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After seeing their lead atop the Atlantic Division trimmed to one point, the NHL-leading Boston Bruins have taken command in the race for the Presidents' Trophy. Holding a healthy nine-point cushion over Tampa Bay atop the division, the Bruins go for their fourth consecutive victory when they wrap up a three-game road trip at the Florida Panthers tonight. Boston may have very well cemented the Atlantic title with Wednesday's 2-1 win over the second-place Lightning, its 14 victory over the last 17 games (14-3-0). While the Bruins are surging again, the Panthers are heading in the wrong direction, dropping three in a row and five of six (1-4-1) to put a dent in their postseason hopes. |
|||||||
03-05-20 | Hurricanes v. Flyers -127 | 1-4 | Win | 100 | 3 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The red-hot Philadelphia Flyers are making a run for the Metropolitan Division title as they put their seven-game winning streak on the line against the visiting Carolina Hurricanes today. Philadelphia moved to within one point of first-place Washington in the Metro with a 5-2 victory over the Capitals on Wednesday and has nearly erased a 13-point deficit by going 16-4-1 since Jan. 13. Perhaps the Hurricanes should consider signing David Ayres seeing as they haven't won since the Zamboni driver helped them prevail at Toronto on Feb. 22 in emergency fashion. That won't happen of course, but Carolina hasn't tasted victory since its top two goaltenders - Petr Mrazek (lower-body) and James Reimer (concussion) - were injured that night. Alex Nedeljkovic (0-1-1), last season's AHL Goaltender of the Year, and Anton Forsberg (0-1-0) have allowed 11 goals and combined for an .874 save percentage in three games while virtually splitting time since pressed into service. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Flyers +135 v. Capitals | 5-2 | Win | 135 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The surging Philadelphia Flyers are ascending in the Metropolitan due in large part to their sterling play against the rest of the division. The Flyers bid to continue that dominance today when they vie for their season-high seventh straight victory overall against the first-place Washington Capitals. Philadelphia dropped all four meetings in regulation against Washington in 2018-19 en route to posting a 10-16-2 record against Metropolitan rivals, but the club has responded this season by collecting at least a point in 18 of 22 games within the division -- including a 2-0-1 mark versus the Capitals. Captain Claude Giroux and Sean Couturier each have scored two goals and set up two others in the season series for the Flyers, who are a sizzling 15-4-1 in their last 20 games to reside just three points behind Washington. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Celtics -2 v. Cavs | 112-106 | Win | 100 | 8 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics look to finish off a four-game season sweep as well as defeat Cleveland for the eighth consecutive time when they visit the Cavaliers today. Boston hasn't dropped a regular-season clash since Feb. 11, 2018 when LeBron James was still on the Cavaliers. Celtics All-Star power forward Jayson Tatum (illness) sat out Tuesday's 129-120 overtime loss against the Brooklyn Nets in a contest in which the team blow an 18-point, fourth-quarter lead. Cleveland has lost three straight games, including a 126-113 setback against the Utah Jazz on Monday in the second contest of a five-game homestand. Consider that the Celtics are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall. |
|||||||
03-04-20 | Clemson +2 v. Virginia Tech | 58-70 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Clemson has wins against the top three teams in the league but also some bad losses, including a home setback to the Hokies in the season opener. That was part of Virginia Tech's 5-3 start in conference play, but it is 1-9 over the last 10 games after a 68-52 loss at No. 10 Louisville on Sunday. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Maple Leafs -158 v. Sharks | 2-5 | Loss | -158 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs aim to extend a pair of streaks today when they begin a trek through California against the San Jose Sharks. The Maple Leafs, who have won four in a row against the Sharks, have erupted for 13 goals during their current three-game winning streak. Auston Matthews, who scored in Toronto's 4-1 win over San Jose on Oct. 25, also tallied in both Thursday's 5-3 triumph at Florida and a 4-2 victory versus Vancouver two nights later to boost his career-best totals in goals (45) and points (77). Captain John Tavares carries a five-game point streak (three goals, four assists) into today's tilt for the Maple Leafs, who are nursing a five-point edge over Florida for third place in the Atlantic Division. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Raptors -4 v. Suns | 123-114 | Win | 100 | 11 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The suddenly struggling Toronto Raptors will try to avoid their first four-game slide of the season when they visit the Phoenix Suns today. The Raptors won 17 of 18 games before the current skid and are trying to fight through another round of injuries. The Suns are losers of three in a row as well and have been off since suffering an embarrassing 115-99 home loss to the NBA-worst Golden State Warriors on Saturday. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Purdue v. Iowa -5 | Top | 77-68 | Loss | -109 | 11 h 20 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit Big-10 Play of the Day No. 18 Iowa looks to stretch its home winning streak to 14 games when it faces Purdue today. The Hawkeyes beat Penn State 77-68 on Saturday to move into a tie for third place with two games remaining, and they hope to stay competitive in the seven-team battle for one of the four double byes in the Big Ten Tournament by avenging a 36-point loss to the Boilermakers on Feb. 5. Purdue ended a four-game losing streak after taking down Indiana 57-49 to complete the season sweep of its in-state rival. Consider that Iowa is 12-2-2 ATS in their last 16 games as a home favorite. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | West Virginia -6 v. Iowa State | 77-71 | Push | 0 | 11 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Mountaineers started conference play 6-3 but have dropped six of their last seven games, including Saturday's 73-62 loss at home to Oklahoma, and are considered to be sitting firmly on the NCAA Tournament bubble. Iowa State lost for the third time in four games after Saturday's 73-61 loss at Oklahoma State when it committed 17 turnovers and never really threatened. West Virginia beat the Cyclones 76-61 on Feb. 5 in Morgantown as Oscar Tshiebwe had 16 points and 10 rebounds to offset 18 points from sophomore Rasir Bolton. Consider that Iowa State is just 2-13 ATS as an underdog this season! |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Wolves v. Pelicans -11 | 139-134 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Williamson scored a season-high 35 points on 12-of-16 shooting Sunday but couldn't quite pull New Orleans past the Western Conference-best Los Angeles Lakers in a 122-114 setback, leaving the team three games behind the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies entering play on Monday. The Timberwolves are not ready to compete at that level and are in the middle of a rebuild that has seen them drop 20 of the last 22 games as staff tries to find some continuity with the rotation. Minnesota is without star center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) and is being led by a pair of guards - Malik Beasley and D'Angelo Russell - who arrived at the trade deadline from different places. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Bruins +109 v. Lightning | 2-1 | Win | 109 | 8 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have fully recovered from their swoon in December to solidify the lead in the Atlantic Division and can give themselves more cushion when they visit the second-place Tampa Bay Lightning tonight. The Bruins are 17-5-1 since Jan. 7 and lead the Lightning by seven points in the division after blanking the New York Islanders 4-0 on Saturday with seven points from their defensemen. Tampa Bay halted a season-high four-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over Calgary on Saturday, but announced the same day that captain Steven Stamkos (29 goals, 66 points) would be lost 6-to-8 weeks after undergoing core muscle surgery. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Nets v. Celtics -9 | 129-120 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics are coming off a tough home loss to the Houston Rockets on Saturday but finished off February with a 9-3 mark and the No. 3 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics will try to get their March slate started off right when they host the Brooklyn Nets today. Boston got a miracle 3-pointer off a missed free throw from Jaylen Brown to send Saturday's game to overtime and nearly pulled out the win before Brown's jumper fell short, and coach Brad Stevens is looking for teaching moments. Boston is trying to surpass Toronto for the No. 2 seed in the East, which could set up a first-round date with the slumping Nets. Brooklyn dropped its last four games to slip a half-game behind the Orlando Magic in the battle for the seventh seed going into play on Monday but still sits well clear of the ninth-place Washington Wizards. |
|||||||
03-03-20 | Blues -135 v. Rangers | 3-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues have a chance to match their longest winning streak of the season but they still have been unable to shake the surging Colorado Avalanche in the Central Division. The defending Stanley Cup champions take aim at their eighth consecutive victory when they open a four-game road trip with a visit to the New York Rangers tonight. The Blues had lost five in a row and 10 of 12 (2-7-3) before their current winning streak, which they kept intact with a 4-3 shootout victory over division rival Dallas on Saturday. The Rangers had been on a tear of their own, going 9-1-0 over a 10-game span before losing both ends of a home-and-home series against the Philadelphia Flyers. |
|||||||
03-02-20 | Jazz -8.5 v. Cavs | 126-113 | Win | 100 | 8 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz picked themselves up and snapped a four-game slide on Friday, just in time to switch the momentum in front of a four-game road trip. The Jazz will try to get that trip started with a victory when they visit the Cleveland Cavaliers today. Utah, which faces three teams fighting for lottery position on the trip, went a disappointing 2-4 on the just completed homestand but leaned on star guard Donovan Mitchell and came away with a 129-119 victory over the Washington Wizards on Friday. Cleveland turned heads with home wins over Miami and Philadelphia early last week but dropped both ends of a back-to-back at New Orleans and against Indiana on Friday and Saturday to fall to 3-3 since J.B. Bickerstaff took over as head coach during the All-Star break. Consider that Utah is 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
03-02-20 | NC State v. Duke -12 | 69-88 | Win | 100 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units NC State is 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Duke is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a losing road record and 12-5-1 ATS in their last 18 games following a straight up loss. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Wizards -6.5 v. Warriors | 124-110 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Red-hot Bradley Beal is trying to will the Washington Wizards back into the playoff chase, and the All-Star guard hopes to continue his scoring surge at the NBA-worst Golden State Warriors tonight. Beal averaged 45 points over his last four outings and 36.2 in February for the Wizards, who are 4 1/2 games out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference with 24 contests to go. Consider that the Wizards are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight-up loss and the Warriors are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games playing on 0 days rest. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Capitals v. Wild +114 | 4-3 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild have joined the fray in the Western Conference playoff race with a record-setting run and try to keep the momentum going when they host the Washington Capitals today. Minnesota has scored 17 times in its last three games - equaling the club record for goals in that span first set in 2009 - and has won them all, improving to 12-5-1 in the last 18 contests. Minnesota's Alex Stalock has four shutouts this season - one off the league lead entering Saturday - after stopping 24 shots Friday. Washington, which leads the Metropolitan Division, has won a league-most 21 road games but has lost four straight away from home after a 3-0 setback at Winnipeg on Thursday. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Canucks +127 v. Blue Jackets | 3-5 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The injury-riddled Columbus Blue Jackets are holding on to the final wild card spot in the Eastern Conference by one point despite recording just one win in their last 11 games (1-5-5) and will attempt to turn things around today when they host the Vancouver Canucks. All-star defenseman Seth Jones and top goal-scorer Oliver Bjorkstrand, each questionable to return before the end of the regular season with ankle injuries, are among 10 regulars currently sidelined for the Blue Jackets. Consider that Columbus is 1-10 in their last 11 overall. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Pistons v. Kings -7.5 | 100-106 | Loss | -109 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings capped a winning road trip with a big victory over one of the teams ahead of them in the Western Conference playoff race. Their reward is a stretch in which they play seven of eight games at home, beginning with a visit from the Detroit Pistons today. After losing a late lead at Oklahoma City on Thursday, the Kings were able to hang on for a 104-101 win at Memphis on Friday to finish the trip at 3-1 and move within three games of the eighth-place Grizzlies in the West entering Saturday. Guard De'Aaron Fox scored 25 points in the win after sitting out the previous contest due to abdominal tightness. Consider that Sacramento is 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record. |
|||||||
03-01-20 | Raptors +3.5 v. Nuggets | 118-133 | Loss | -109 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors are enduring their first losing streak in over two months after dropping back-to-back home games to the Milwaukee Bucks and Charlotte Hornets and are about to embark on a five-game road trip through the Western Conference. The Raptors will try to avoid their first three-game slide since early December when they visit the Denver Nuggets today. Toronto won 17 of 18 before dropping the last two and is looking forward to getting out on the road and finding some continuity with a rotation in flux due to injuries. The Nuggets are looking to regroup as well after losing sole possession of second place in the Western Conference with a 132-103 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. Consider that Toronto is 38-15 ATS in their last 53 games playing on 1 days rest. |

03-01-20 | Flames -103 v. Panthers | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 4 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Flames came into the weekend holding one of two wild card spots in a crowded Western Conference and will go for a seventh win in nine games against the Panthers after Tkachuk scored twice in a wild 6-5 shootout victory in Calgary on Oct. 24. Florida has dropped four of its last five games (1-3-1) after scoring late in regulation to tie before losing 3-2 in a shootout against Chicago at home Saturday, and the Panthers trail Toronto by five points for third place in the Atlantic Division with one game in hand. |

Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics are developing a new superstar in forward Jayson Tatum, and he has his team on a hot streak. Tatum and the Celtics will face another team surging up the standings when they host James Harden, Russell Westbrook and the red-hot Houston Rockets today. Boston picked up wins in 14 of its last 17 games to keep the pressure on the Toronto Raptors for the No. 2 spot in the Eastern Conference and is coming home for the first time since the All-Star break after a 3-1 trip out west that featured Tatum averaging 34.5 points on 56.6 percent shooting. |

02-29-20 | Stars v. Blues -140 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues have emerged from their funk with a vengeance, answering a month-long tailspin by ripping off six consecutive victories to regain control of first place atop the Central Division. The surging Blues seek to match their second-longest winning streak of the season when they wrap up a three-game homestand against the Dallas Stars tonight. The Blues continued their roll with another impressive victory, erasing a two-goal deficit before knocking off the New York Islanders 3-2 in overtime Thursday. One of the victories during St. Louis' winning streak was a 5-1 rout of Dallas, which fell six points behind the Blues in the division chase after dropping a 4-3 decision at Boston on Thursday. |
|||||||
02-29-20 | Lakers -8 v. Grizzlies | 88-105 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The availability of All-Star forward LeBron James will be determined close to game time as the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Memphis Grizzlies today. James missed Thursday's 116-86 rout of the host Golden Warriors due to a groin injury and hopes to return as the Lakers seek their eighth straight victory. Los Angeles played crisp basketball without James and All-Star power forward Anthony Davis was pleased to see the quality of play. Memphis is mired in a five-game losing streak after suffering a 104-101 home loss to the Sacramento Kings on Friday to see its lead slip to two games over the New Orleans Pelicans for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. |

02-29-20 | Hurricanes +110 v. Canadiens | 3-4 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |

Montreal scored the first two goals in that contest and took a 2-1 lead into the third period before surrendering four goals in the final 8:54 to drop to 13-16-6 at home this season. The Hurricanes, who have won four of their last five on the road, rallied to tie the game in the third period Friday before suffering a 3-2 loss versus Colorado to remain two points out of playoff position in the Eastern Conference with three games in hand. |

Rating: 4 Unit NCAAB Game of the Week Iowa State is coming to Stillwater off a win, beating visiting TCU 65-59 on Tuesday night, and is seeking to put together its first win streak since early December. Forward Solomon Young and freshman guard Tre Jackson combined to score 38 of the Cyclones’ 65 points in Tuesday’s victory. However, the win was only the program’s third in 10 games since beating visiting Oklahoma State 89-82 on Jan. 21. The Cowboys, meanwhile, have won three of their last five. Consider that Oklahoma State is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games overall while the favorite is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings. |

Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Clippers can match the Denver Nuggets for the second-best record in the Western Conference when the teams battle in Los Angeles tonight. The Clippers have won back-to-back games after losing four of their previous five, while the Nuggets split their past four games. Denver is one of five teams to reach the 40-win mark and put up a strong performance in Tuesday's 115-98 home victory over the Detroit Pistons. The Nuggets won five of the past six meetings, including a 114-104 home win on Jan. 12. |

02-28-20 | Washington State v. Washington -9.5 | 78-74 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington sits last in the Pac-12 standings, but the Huskies could still be a dangerous opponent at next month’s conference tournament. The Huskies head into today’s contest against visiting Washington State eager to build on their performance from last Saturday, when they snapped a nine-game losing streak with an 87-52 win over California. Coach Mike Hopkins remains optimistic about his squad, which boasts two of the top freshmen in the country in Isaiah Stewart and Jaden McDaniels but has gone 2-11 since point guard Quade Green was ruled academically ineligible. The 6-9, 250-pound Stewart averages 16.9 points and 8.5 rebounds while shooting 56.2 percent from the field to lead the Huskies, who won for the first time in 37 days by holding Cal to 11 field goals and 23.9 percent shooting. The Huskies have three regular-season games remaining, starting with today’s matchup against a Washington State team that has been outscored by an average of 12.3 points during its current four-game losing streak. |

Rating: 2 Units The Cleveland Cavaliers just put together two impressive performances at home against Eastern Conference playoff teams and are showing strong signs of improvement since switching head coaches at the All-Star break. The Cavaliers will try to keep the momentum up on the road when they visit Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans today. Cleveland is 3-1 in four games since moving from John Beilein to J.B. Bickerstaff at the break and jumped out of last place in the East with a 108-94 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday - two days after battling for a 125-119 overtime triumph over the Miami Heat. Consider that Cleveland is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog. |

Rating: 2 Units Oklahoma City recovered from a 19-point, third-quarter deficit to post a 112-108 home win over the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. The Thunder have won five straight games and 14 of the past 17 to move a season-best 15 games over .500. Consider that Oklahoma City is 7-1 ATS without rest versus non-conference opponents while Milwaukee is 0-5 ATS versus unrested non-conference foes |

02-28-20 | Hornets v. Raptors -13.5 | 99-96 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors got a look at how much work they need to do to go from the No 2 team in the Eastern Conference to No. 1 when they dropped a 108-97 home decision to the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday. The Raptors will try to get back in the win column when they finish off a four-game homestand by hosting the Charlotte Hornets today. Defending-champion Toronto won 17 of 18 before falling on Tuesday while shooting 35.2 percent from the floor and committing 17 turnovers. The Hornets bounced back from a pair of embarrassing losses, including a 39-point setback at Indiana on Tuesday, by beating the New York Knicks 107-101 on Wednesday. Toronto crushed the Hornets at home 132-96 on Nov. 18. |

Rating: 2 Units The surging Minnesota Wild have four wins in six games under interim coach Dean Evason and will travel to Columbus Friday to face a struggling Blue Jackets squad for the second time in four days. Tuesday’s contest in Minnesota ended in a 5-4 setback for the Blue Jackets, who are 1-4-5 in their last 10 games and still holding on to the Eastern Conference’s final wild card spot by two points over the Carolina and the New York Rangers. |

02-27-20 | Colorado v. California +9.5 | 62-76 | Win | 100 | 23 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This game is the 10th annual Pete Newel Classic at Cal, which this year will honor former Bears star Shareef Abdur-Rahim with the Pete Newell Career Achievement Award at halftime. Cal is looking for its first win over a ranked team since beating No. 25 Washington 76-73 on Feb. 28, 2019. Cal is 12-2 all-time at home vs. Colorado, and we could see an upset with the Buffs 1-5 ATS in their past six games and an average road team at 4-4 SU (& ATS). California, meanwhile, is 10-5 SU and ATS at home and has covered six of its past nine overall this year. |

02-27-20 | Canucks -160 v. Senators | 2-5 | Loss | -160 | 12 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Unitas Tyler Toffoli has made quite the impression on his new teammates by recording three goals and five points in his first three games since being acquired from Los Angeles last week. Toffoli looks to continue his strong surge on Thursday when the Vancouver Canucks visit the Ottawa Senators, who have lost four in a row (0-3-1). Toffoli scored 1:35 into overtime on Tuesday as Vancouver improved to 4-1-1 in its past six contests by opening a four-game trek with a 4-3 victory over Montreal. While the Canucks are bidding to snap a four-year playoff drought, the Senators are sprinting toward a third straight early tee time in the spring after dropping 21 of their last 26 games (5-13-8). Ottawa, which was an active seller at Monday's trade deadline, struggled with its chemistry the following day in a 3-2 setback at Nashville. |

02-27-20 | Rangers +120 v. Canadiens | 5-2 | Win | 120 | 11 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The New York Rangers have charged up the standings in their bid to advance to the postseason and their stellar play away from Madison Square Garden has been pivotal to their success. Winners of four in a row and eight of the last nine, the surging Rangers continue a three-game road trip with a visit to the Montreal Canadiens tonight. New York drew within four points of the second wild card in the Eastern Conference with a 4-3 overtime victory at the Islanders to run its road winning streak to a franchise-record eight games. The Rangers have split a pair of meetings this season with the sputtering Canadiens, who fell nine points of the final playoff slot in the East after blowing a two-goal lead in a 4-3 overtime loss to visiting Vancouver on Tuesday. |

02-26-20 | Penguins -180 v. Kings | 1-2 | Loss | -180 | 23 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Pittsburgh made a deal earlier in the month with Minnesota for forward Jason Zucker, who has five points in seven games, and brought in the 40-year-old Marleau (561 career goals) from San Jose while also reacquiring Conor Sheary and adding Evan Rodrigues from Buffalo. While the Penguins entered Tuesday two points behind Washington for first place in the Metropolitan Division, Los Angeles is looking to next season with the second-worst record in the league after falling 4-2 to Edmonton at home on Sunday. Captain Anze Kopitar leads the Kings with 56 points after collecting a goal and eight assists with a plus-5 rating in his last six contests |

02-26-20 | LSU +5 v. Florida | 66-81 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Florida opened a difficult stretch of games Saturday with a 65-59 loss at ninth-ranked Kentucky. The Gators now return home today looking to avenge January's last-second 84-82 loss to LSU. With the regular season in its final weeks, this game is critical for both schools as they jockey for position in the SEC in hopes of earning a double-bye in the conference tournament, and the rivals have split the last four meetings - two going to overtime - by a combined total of 11 points. The Tigers currently sit in a second-place tie with Auburn. Consider that the underdog is 4-0-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the road team is 5-0-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. |

02-26-20 | Tennessee +4.5 v. Arkansas | 69-86 | Loss | -109 | 12 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arkansas looks for a second straight victory following a five-game losing streak when it hosts Tennessee in an SEC contest today. The Razorbacks snapped their skid with a victory over Missouri on Saturday, while the Volunteers come in off a loss at Auburn on the same day. Tennessee has been consistently inconsistent in February, alternating wins and losses through the month's first seven contests. Jordan Bowden leads the offensive charge for the Volunteers with 13.6 points per game, and he's coming off a 28-point outing in the loss to Auburn. |

02-25-20 | Kings -5.5 v. Warriors | 112-94 | Win | 100 | 24 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings came out of the break hot and are not playing like a team destined for another trip to the draft lottery. The Kings will try to make it wins in three straight games when they visit the NBA-worst Golden State Warriors today. Sacramento battled for a 129-125 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in its return from the break on Thursday and began its four-game road trip on Saturday by skipping past the Los Angeles Clippers 112-103. Sacramento took the first two meetings this season, including a 100-79 triumph at Golden State on Dec. 15. |

02-25-20 | Oilers -146 v. Ducks | 3-4 | Loss | -146 | 24 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers are three points behind first-place Vegas in the Pacific Division with two games in hand but only three points clear of being in a wild-card spot in the spirited Western Conference playoff race. McDavid returned Sunday after missing six games with a quad injury and produced a goal and two assists in Edmonton's 4-2 victory at Los Angeles. The Oilers won the first of four meetings this season 6-2 on Nov. 10 behind a hat trick from McDavid. |

02-25-20 | Blackhawks v. Blues -191 | 5-6 | Win | 100 | 22 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues elected to stand pat at the NHL trade deadline, and perhaps for good reason after piecing together four straight strong defensive performances to strengthen their position atop the Western Conference. The Blues bid to record their fifth consecutive victory today when they open a three-game homestand against the Chicago Blackhawks. Central Division cellar-dwelling Chicago adopted a seller's mindset after dropping eight of its last 10 games (2-6-2) heading into the trade deadline. The Blackhawks sent defenseman Erik Gustafsson to Calgary for a third-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft on Monday and shuffled Robin Lehner to Vegas for fellow goaltender Malcolm Subban, defenseman Slava Demin and a 2020 second-round selection. Consider that St. Louis is 35-16 in their last 51 vs. a team with a losing record. |

02-25-20 | Thunder -6.5 v. Bulls | 124-122 | Loss | -109 | 21 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oklahoma City Thunder aren't content to just make the playoffs in the Western Conference, they are looking for a strong seed, and they are looking to do damage. The Thunder will try to push their latest winning streak to four in a row when they visit the Chicago Bulls today. Oklahoma City came out of the All-Star break with an impressive performance in a 113-101 victory over Denver and was even better on Sunday, when it shot 57.5 percent from the floor in a 131-103 drubbing of the San Antonio Spurs. Consider that Oklahoma City is 22-5 ATS in their last 27 road games. |
|||||||
02-25-20 | Flames v. Bruins -204 | 5-2 | Loss | -204 | 21 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins are leading the chase for the Presidents' Trophy for the league's best record and thus saw no need to make major changes to their lineup at Monday's trade deadline despite coming off their most lopsided defeat of the season. Winners of 11 of their last 13 games, the Bruins return home to host the Calgary Flames. Calgary has been alternating wins and losses over its last seven games and after a 4-2 win at Detroit last time out. Boston is 8-3 in its last 11 home games after allowing seven or more goals in a loss in its previous outing. |

Rating: 4 Unit Big-12 Game of the Week RJ Nembhard more than held his own against one of the country's best guards in early January, going off for a career-high 31 points to offset a triple-double by Tyrese Haliburton in TCU's overtime home win over Iowa State. The sophomore will attempt to put together a similar performance nearly two months later against the Cyclones without Haliburton when the Horned Frogs visit Ames |

02-25-20 | Ole Miss +9 v. Auburn | Top | 58-67 | Push | 0 | 21 h 7 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit SEC Play of the Day It was the third game for the Tigers without standout freshman Isaac Okoro (hamstring) and the 6-6 forward is still questionable for the rematch with the Rebels after Auburn squeezed out an 83-82 victory in double overtime on Jan. 28 in Oxford, Miss. Ole Miss senior Breein Tyree leads the SEC in scoring (20.6) and is averaging just under 30 points the last six games as the Rebels won the first three during that stretch. |
|||||||
02-24-20 | Magic v. Nets -3 | 115-113 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Brooklyn Nets continue to put their best foot forward without star guard Kyrie Irving and will attempt to win for the fourth time in their last five games when they host the Orlando Magic today. The Nets went 8-12 with Irving (shoulder) in the lineup this season but improved to 18-17 without him with Saturday's 115-86 rout of the Charlotte Hornets. Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot led eight players in double figures with a season-high 21 points against the Hornets as Brooklyn posted its third win of at least 22 points since Irving left the lineup for good earlier this month. The Magic are 2 1/2 games behind the seventh-place Nets in the Eastern Conference and will be seeking their first win since before the All-Star break. They came out of the intermission with a 122-106 home loss to Dallas after shooting 9-of-43 from 3-point range. |

02-24-20 | Louisville v. Florida State -2.5 | 67-82 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Seminoles are still undefeated at home, and they host a Louisville team that has lost back to back games on the road. The Cardinals are a little banged up, and they have lost four of the last six head to head meetings against FSU. The Cardinals handed the Seminoles a double digit loss earlier this season in Kentucky, setting up a revenge spot here in Tallahassee. FSU is out-scoring opponents by an average margin of 16+ points while winning all 14 home games, and they have allowed just 66 points per game during that span. |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Oilers -130 v. Kings | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 11 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Edmonton Oilers have done a good job of keeping their heads above water the past six games without superstar forward Connor McDavid as they’ve skated to a 3-2-1 mark. Edmonton is expected to have its captain back in the lineup today when it opens a three-game road trip against the Los Angeles Kings. The Oilers are coming off a pair of disappointing home performances with a 2-1 overtime loss to Boston on Wednesday followed by a 5-3 setback to Minnesota on Friday, and will need a healthy McDavid if they hope to maintain their three-point cushion in the Western Conference playoff race. Consider that Los Angeles is 24-55 in their last 79 games as an underdog, 2-6 in their last eight home games, and 7-19 in their last 26 overall. |

02-23-20 | Golden Knights -160 v. Ducks | 6-5 | Win | 100 | 11 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The surging Vegas Golden Knights try to increase their Pacific lead when they visit the struggling Anaheim Ducks today. Vegas leads Vancouver in the crowded division by two points after winning its fifth consecutive game, 5-3 over the Florida Panthers on Saturday as the offensive continues to click with 20 goals during the run. The Golden Knights are 9-3-2 since firing Gerald Gallant on Jan. 15 and handing the keys to Peter DeBoer. Anaheim lost 1-0 to Colorado on Friday night for its third straight setback and fourth in five games - two via shutout. Vegas has won nine of the 11 meetings since joining the NHL in 2017-18 after a 5-2 victory Dec. 31 behind a pair of goals by Jonathan Marchessault. |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Pelicans -9.5 v. Warriors | 115-101 | Win | 100 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Orleans remains a longshot for the postseason at four games behind the eighth-place Memphis Grizzlies but is clearly a team on the rise and Williamson handed out three of the team's 36 assists in Friday's 128-115 win over Portland to go with a team-high 25 points on 10-of-17 shooting in his 11th game. The Warriors are hoping to find someone like Williamson at the top of this June's draft to throw in the lineup with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andrew Wiggins, putting this disappointing season behind them, but in the meantime will try to snap their latest slide at five straight. Golden State came out of the All-Star break on Thursday and was crushed 135-105 at home by the Houston Rockets while allowing 25 made 3-pointers. |

Rating: 2 Units Following an extended hiccup that caused them to reliquish sole possession of first place in the Central Division, the St. Louis Blues are back on track and looking like the team that hoisted the Stanley Cup last season. The Blues take aim at their fourth consecutive victory when they close out a two-game road trip at the Minnesota Wild tonight. St. Louis turned a showdown for division supremacy into a laugher with a dominating 5-1 victory at Dallas on Friday, just missing out on a third straight shutout to notch its first regulation road win since Dec. 23. |
|||||||
02-23-20 | Wolves +13.5 v. Nuggets | 116-128 | Win | 100 | 7 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After dropping their final game before the All-Star break in overtime against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Nuggets fell 113-101 at Oklahoma City in their return to action Friday night. Denver still sits in second place in the Western Confernce, but the back-to-back setbacks have placed it just 2 1/2 games up on fifth-place Houston entering Saturday, with the Los Angeles Clippers and Utah trailing even closer. The Nuggets' 19 turnovers led to 25 points for the Thunder in the 113-101 loss Friday night. Consider that Minnesota is 20-7 ATS in the last 27 meetings in Denver. |

Rating: 2 Units Florida has lost its only two visits to Sin City. But they also lost 7-2 at home to the Golden Knights earlier this month. Vegas is on a four-game win streak right now, all of them coming here at T-Mobile Arena, and three wins were against top teams (St. Louis, TB, Washington). Florida just lost to the worst team in the Western Conference (Kings) and this will be their fourth straight game on the road in a six-day span. The team the Golden Knights just beat (Lightning) came here on an 11-game win streak. |

02-22-20 | Lightning -166 v. Coyotes | 3-7 | Loss | -166 | 5 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning saw several streaks come to an end last time out and look to avoid consecutive losses for the first time since mid-December when they visit the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night. The Lightning won a franchise-record 11 games in a row and had not allowed more than three goals in 22 straight outings before suffering a 5-3 loss at Vegas on Thursday despite a pair of goals from captain Steven Stamkos. Tampa Bay, which also lost for the first time in seven road contests Thursday, blanked the Coyotes 4-0 at home Jan. 9 after splitting two meetings last season - including a 7-1 defeat at Arizona. The Coyotes are averaging two goals despite managing seven points over their past seven games (3-3-1), but were outshot 46-14 in a 1-0 loss at St. Louis on Thursday and entered Friday in a virtual tie for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference. |

02-22-20 | Suns v. Bulls +3 | 112-104 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Phoenix Suns took a 118-101 beating at Toronto Friday night. They're an abysmal 1-8 ATS in their last nine overall and 3-6-1 ATS when playing on no rest on the season. I think they'll come up short when visiting Chicago on no rest today. The Bulls are not much better at 1-7 ATS in their last eight games, but here they'll be looking to bounce back from a 103-93 loss to Charlotte on Thursday and they're 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home. |

02-22-20 | Nets -4 v. Hornets | 115-86 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn announced Thursday that Irving, who has been limited to 20 games this season by shoulder and knee ailments, would undergo season-ending surgery and the team put together a strong battle later that night against the Philadelphia 76ers on the road before falling 112-104 in overtime. One of the teams trying to make a run at the seventh or eighth spot in the East is the Hornets, who extended their winning streak to three in a row by coming out of the break and earning a 103-93 victory at Chicago. Brooklyn took two of the first three meetings, including a 111-104 triumph at Charlotte on Dec. 6. |

Consider that Iowa is 6-1 SU and ATS following a loss this season. Minnesota comes in having lost three of their last four and failed to cover the spread in all losses.

However, the Flames won three of four behind a resurgent offense and hope to ride the potent attack against the Chicago Blackhawks in today's opener of a three-game home stand. After posting impressive 6-2 victories at Vancouver and San Jose, the Flames bogged down in a 5-3 loss at Western Conference-worst Los Angeles before bouncing back in a 6-0 drubbing at Anaheim. While Calgary is locked in a three-way tie for second in the Pacific and holds down the top wild card, Chicago has stumbled badly in losing five in a row, including three straight to start its current five-game road trip to fall six points out of the final playoff slot. |
