This is a play on the NEW YORK KNICKS for our NBA Signature Enforcer. The Knicks are coming off a home loss on Wednesday against Oklahoma City by three points and hit the road for the start of a five-game roadtrip with two games in Los Angeles up next. They have not been as good on the road as they are at home with a 16-14 record on the highway but are in a good spot coming off that loss as they covered which was their fourth straight and they are 12-4 ATS this season coming off three or more consecutive covers. Denver came through for us last night with a seven-point win over the Lakers which got the Nuggets right after a poor three-game stretch but we do not see it continuing here. Last night was also just as much of a fade of the Lakers who have won only five games against the top ten in the league while the Knicks have won 11 which is tied for third most. Here, we play on road teams in the second half of the season after three or more consecutive unders and allowing between 108 and 114 ppg going up against teams allowing between 114 and 118 ppg. This situation is 36-9 ATS (80 percent) since 2022. 10* (509) New York Knicks

This is a play on the SETON HALL PIRATES for our Friday Free Play. St. John’s biggest storyline this season was its 13-game winning streak that did include an impressive win over Connecticut but that was at home and the overall resume is pretty unimpressive. The Red Storm went 7-4 in the nonconference with the best win coming against Baylor way back in November and the only other two wins of significance on the entire schedule were a pair of wins over Villanova. St. John’s is an impressive 8-1 on the road with the loss coming against Connecticut in the revenge rematch and aside from Villanova, the other road wins were not good. Seton Hall remains on the bubble and can get a quality Quad 1 win here with St. John’s sitting No. 22 in the NET Rankings. The Pirates do have a pair of close losses against Connecticut by nine points combined and the first meeting with St. John’s resulted in a five-point road loss and while it might be dramatic to say their season is on the line tonight, that is the reality of it.

CBB 10-3-1 run rolls into Friday with FIVE Winners. NBA 50-38-1 Run extended tonight. Matt was at the top of the boards in MLB last season! EARLY BIRD MLB available. Inclusive Package gets all plays in all sports.

This is a play on the TEXAS ST. BOBCATS for our CBB Tourney Enforcer. Texas St. closed the season 8-1 to finish 11-7 in the Sun Belt Conference and an auto bye into the fourth round and this side of the bracket has already seen the two previous winners lose as James Madison took out Louisiana and the Dukes were then ousted by Southern Mississippi. Of the Bobcats seven losses, six were on the road  with two of those by three combined points and another in overtime with that coming at Southern Mississippi. The Bobcats will have to face a team with its own momentum with Southern Mississippi having won four of five games but after the Golden Eagles opened 5-1 in the conference, they lost eight of their next 12 games with all four wins coming at home prior to the meaningless win at South Alabama in the season finale and the Thursday win. 10* (868) Texas St. Bobcats

This is a play on the ILLINOIS CHICAGO FLAMES for our CBB Afternoon Dominator. Illinois Chicago is the sleeper team to win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament and it is playing as good as anyone not named Belmont. The Flames opened 0-4 but have gone 12-4 over their last 16 games with one loss against Belmont, a team they played tough both times while another was against Murray St. setting up double revenge. Illinois Chicago is the only team in the conference that is ranked in the top four in both offense and defense as far as efficiency goes which makes the Flames a dangerous team for any opponent. Murray St. was the leader early on as it opened 8-0 in the conference but closed 4-8 and with the exception of the home win against the Flames, the other three were against three of the bottom four teams. 10* (851) Illinois Chicago Flames

This is a play on the KENT ST. GOLDEN FLASHES for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. This is the ultimate letdown spot for Western Michigan as it had a solid road win at Bowling Green and then had a heartbreaking last second loss against undefeated Miami at home before losing its final home game of the season in overtime against Ball St. and now comes the final game of the season overall for the Broncos. They are ineligible for the Mid-American Conference Tournament as they are tied for 11th place with only the top eight teams making the postseason. Kent St. followed up a loss against Akron at home by 22 points with a 26-point road win at Northern Illinois. The Golden Flashes are locked into the No. 3 seed but this is the final home game and they want to roll momentum into the tournament. 10* (838) Kent St. Golden Flashes

This is a play on the BOWLING GREEN FALCONS for our MAC Game of the Year. This is the final home game of the season for Eastern Michigan but we are fading that angle here. Eastern Michigan comes in 4-14 in the MAC with three of those wins at home which could make the Eagles worth a look but the three wins were against Massachusetts, Northern Illinois and Central Michigan which are a combined 6-35 on the road. Bowling Green has one fewer road win than all three combined as the Falcons are 5-6 with three of the conference losses against three of the top four teams. The Falcons can secure the No. 5 seed with a win and an Ohio loss to Miami and this will put them in the better side of the tournament bracket in the Mid-American Conference. 10* (827) Bowling Green Falcons
