Wizards vs. Hawks
Over 240.5
The Washington Wizards 15-29 (22-21-1 ATS) take on the 11-35 (21-25 ATS) Atlanta Hawks on Sunday in Atlanta. The line currently favors the Hawks -1.5 and the Over/Under is set at 240.5. Injuries of note for Washington Wall, Wagner & Hachimura are OUT, for Atlanta Len, Parker, and Bembry are out.
The Wizards come into this one winners of 2 of their last 3 and last game out shot 55% from the floor in a 124-112 win at Cleveland Thursday. On the other side Atlanta took down the Los Angeles Clippers 102-95 on Wednesday after rallying from 21 points down.
Noone on Atlanta is going to slow Bradley Beal down. He's averaging 34PPG over the last 3 games and went for 36 on 15/22 shooting with 8 helpers Thursday. On the flip side noone on Washington is going to slow Trae Young down. He had 26 points and 16 assists on Friday.
Throw in Collins, Reddish, Bryant, Teague, and Bertans, and there will be plenty of offense on display. The Wizards are averaging 114.9PPG (5th in the NBA) the Hawks are averaging 107.8 PPG (23rd in the NBA).
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Washington's last 6 games, plus the total has gone OVER in 14 of Washington's last 20 games when playing on the road against Atlanta, and the total has gone OVER in 5 of Atlanta's last 6 games.
The last time these two teams played Washington won 111-104 on January 10th, I'm expecting a MUCH higher scoring game Sunday.
Play the OVER 240.5.
Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Xavier vs. Creighton
Creighton-5
The NCAAB Comp Play for Sunday is on Creighton at 4:00 eastern. The Blue Jays are off a nice win at Depaul and already beat Xavier on the road this year. They have won 13 of 14 as a home favorite which is significant as Xavier has failed to cover 18 straight as a regular season road dog and 9 of 12 off a win as well as 4 of 5 vs winning home teams. Creighton mauled the Musketeers by 22 here last season and has covered 6 of 8 off a win and 40 of 59 long term on Sundays. Play on Creighton. For the Free play today go with Creighton.

How about that super easy 3♦ complimentary winner on USC on Saturday? I’m now on a 7-3 roll with basketball freebies. For Sunday’s, we’ll head back to the college hardwood and swallow the chalk with fourth-ranked San Diego State, which takes its unbeaten record to Vegas to battle UNLV.
Normally, I’m not a fan of laying a significant amount points with a road team, especially in a conference game. But San Diego State continues to prove with each passing game that its Top 5 ranking and 20-0 record are no fluke. Not only are the Aztecs a perfect 9-0 in conference play, but three of four victories came on the road—and all three were convincing: 79-57 at Colorado State, 77-68 at Utah State, 72-52 at Wyoming, 64-55 at Fresno State.
True, SDSU failed to get the cash in its last two outings, both at home—17-point win over Wyoming as a 22½-point favorite; 13-point win over Nevada as a 13½-point chalk. But the fact remains the Aztecs’ last 10 wins have come by at least nine points (including eight double-digit routs). In fact, only two opponents have lost to the Aztecs by fewer than nine points: BYU (76-71 home loss back on Nov. 9, the second game of the season) and San Jose State (a shockingly close 59-57 loss at SDSU on Dec. 8).
As for UNLV, it is definitely playing much better of late under first-year coach T.J. Otzelberger, going 7-2 in over the last nine contests. And the Runnin’ Rebels are a solid 6-2 in Mountain West play. But this is a different animal that they’re facing today in SDSU. And it’s not like the Rebels have thrived in the underdog role: Take out a 70-53 home upset of Utah State (as a 7-point pup), and UNLV is 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS when catching points this season.
Finally, the Aztecs have completely owned this rivalry of late, winning nine of the last 10 meetings (including the last four in a row) while going 7-1-2 ATS (4-0 ATS in the last four).
4* SAN DIEGO STATE

Sunday comp play is the undefeated Aztecs to stay undefeated with the road romp in Sin City against UNLV.
San Diego State is 20-0 on the season and they have won each of their first 9 conference games. Yes, the Aztecs have seen the double-digit impost bite their backers over their last pair of wins, but when priced as the single-digit favorite this year, State has gone 6-0 against the spread.
The Running Rebels have shown improvement with straight up wins in 7 of their last 9 games to move their season mark above .500 at 11-10, but they really haven't sniffed a win against their conference rivals in some time.
San Diego State has reeled off 4 straight wins and covers in this series and stand at 9-1 straight up the last 10 times the teams have played one another with a 7-1-2 spread mark in those 10 contests.
The Rebs feature the # 1 offense in Mountain West, but the 'Tecs counter with the # 1 defense in the conference and that defense will simply force the turnover-laden Rebels into turnover after turnover this afternoon at the Thomas and Mack Center.
It's unlikely the Aztecs blow through the regular season without a loss, but a loss today to the Rebels seems even more unlikely to me.
Lay it with the 20-0 visitor.
4* SAN DIEGO STATE

My free basketball winner is on the Los Angeles Clippers at the Orlando Magic, as we're laying cheap number with arguably the best team in the Western Conference. You Lakers lovers may disagree considering the records, and the fact the Purple and Gold are on top of the West, and the Utah Jazz are in second place.
But the Clippers have just as many wins as the Jazz, and they're undefeated against the Lakers this season. They also have Kawhi Leonard.
Quite frankly, as sketchy as the Magic have been - even at home - I don't think they'll be able to contain the surging Clippers and Leonard, who just registered the first triple-double of his career. In South Beach, Leonard poured in 33 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and dished 10 assists in a 122-117 come-from-behind win over the Heat.
Leonard, who is known for his defensive edge, has scored more than 30 points in each of his last seven games, averaging 35.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 2.7 steals while shooting 51.5 percent from the field and 37.7 percent from three in that stretch.
With his offensive surge, the Clippers have now won five of six, an make note he didn't play in the lone loss, in Atlanta.
The Clippers, who have won their last 12 games against the Magic and have covered four of the last five meetings, rank in the Top 10 in both offensive and defensive efficiency. Los Angeles, which is on ATS runs of 25-12 as a road favorite and 10-4 on just one day of rest, has an offensive rating of 112.3 points per 100 possessions, and a defensive rating of 106.1 points allowed per 100 possessions - both good for sixth best in the league.
Lay the cheap road number as the Clippers roll.

My complimentary winner is out of the NBA, as I'm on Dame Time tonght. The Western Conference's 11-seed Portland Trail Blazers are laying just a point to the Eastern Conference's No. 5 seed, the Indiana Pacers.
The Blazers have had the last two nights off, and I like their chances to rebound from Thursday's 133-125 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. An 8-point loss to one of the best teams in the West, but can you imagine if the Blazers had CJ McCollum in the lineup?
Portland's number two scoring threat is expected to rejoin Damian Lillard after sitting out the past three games with an ankle sprain. Injuries have hindered the Trail Blazers all season, as they've missed Zach Collins in the paint.
Indiana suffered a severe blow when it lost starting point guard Malcolm Brogdon Wednesday in Phoenix, where he suffered a concussion. That'll hurt against the Blazers, who have a red-hot Lillard running their offense.
Over his last two games Lillard is averaging an outrageous 54 points per game thanks to an aggressive approach of driving into the lane or confidence pulling up from just past half court. Hell, go back and watch his highlights, as Lillard is throwing up shots closer to the half-court line than he is the 3-point line.
Dame has hit 19 of his 35 3-point attempts (54.3%) and connected on all 23 of his free throws (100%) during this two-game stretch. He is averaging 31.4 points this month while shooting over 41 percent from distance. The return of McCollum will help distract the Pacers, who won't know who to guard.
I'm playing the home team here, as Portland continues to make a push heading into the All-Star Break.
4* TRAIL BLAZERS

Missouri State vs. Drake
10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Drake -5)
I'll take my chances here with the Bulldogs as a 5-point home favorite against Missouri State. This is just too good a price to pass up with Drake, who comes in a perfect 10-0 on their home floor, which includes a victory over MVC front-runner Loyola-Chicago in conference play.
The Bears have won their last two, but nothing to get that excited about, as they beat a dysfunctional Evansville team on the road and squeaked by a mediocre Valpo team at home. Missouri State sits 4-3 in the MVC, but all 4 wins are against the only three teams in the MVC that have a losing record in conference play (played Evansville twice).
Overall the Bears are just 3-7 on the road, where they are scoring a mere 64.5 ppg. That lack of offense away from home will be a problem against a Drake team that is averaging 79 ppg at home on 52.3% shooting overall and 38% shooting from deep.
Bulldogs are 36-13-2 ATS in their last 51 home games, 20-7 ATS last 27 at home vs a team that's won fewer than 40% of their road games and 22-9 ATS last 29 off a win by 20 or more (last game beat Evansville 73-50 on the road). Give me Drake -5!
