UNDER 6.5
PHILADELPHIA @ NEW JERSEY | 3/01 | 7:00 PM EST
11:36 AM
Both these teams have been big on the Over this season. But the Devils are strongly Under when it comes to home games, and they've been Under in three of four. My projections believe that overomes the Over-heavy Flyers, with the total staying at six or less in 60 percent of my advanced computer simulations. Back the Under.
4-1 IN LAST 5 NHL ML PICKS | +332
WINNIPEG -101
NASHVILLE @ WINNIPEG | 3/01 | 8:00 PM EST
11:33 AM
It's a great price for a Jets team that's been dominant at home, and it's because they've lost four of five overall. But my projections see a bounce-back against the Preds, who have been shut out in two of three. Winnipeg wins in 60 percent of my simulations; even money is great price for that.
4-1 IN LAST 5 NHL ML PICKS | +332
DAYTON -7
RHODE ISLAND @ DAYTON | 3/01 | 7:00 PM EST
11:30 AM
Dayton beat Rhode Island by 29 in February, at RI. The Rams are on a 2-7 overall and ATS slide, while the Flyers have won and covered three straight. Dayton wins 85 percent of my computer simulations, and by an average of 13 points, covering two-thirds of the time. It's definitely my top play for Friday.
NEW ORLEANS -5.5
NEW ORLEANS @ PHOENIX | 3/01 | 9:00 PM EST
11:26 AM
The Pelicans have covered in three of four, even with the diminished minutes for Anthony Davis. The Suns were on a 0-4 ATS slide as part of their 17-game losing streak before shocking the Heat straight up. But it's back to the trends for Friday -- my computer simulations project a double-digit New Orleans road win, easily covering the spread. Lay the points with the Pelicans.
57-35 IN LAST 92 NBA PICKS | +1914
2-1 IN LAST 3 PHO ATS PICKS | +90
OVER 230.5
CHICAGO @ ATLANTA | 3/01 | 7:30 PM EST
YESTERDAY 11:58 PM
My numbers see the Bulls and Hawks combining for about 240 combined points Friday night, clearing the Over with room to spare. The Bulls have played Over in four straight road games, while the Hawks are 10-4 to the Over when playing one one day of rest.
57-35 IN LAST 92 NBA PICKS | +1914
11-3 IN LAST 14 ATL O/U PICKS | +772
SACRAMENTO -2.5
L.A. CLIPPERS @ SACRAMENTO | 3/01 | 10:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 11:49 PM
My projections see the Kings bouncing back from their heart-breaking loss to the Bucks and defeating the Clippers by at least eight points Friday, a solid value position on the small home favorite. Sacramento battled back from a 14-point deficit against Milwaukee only to lose by one point in overtime Wednesday. but this is still the best covering team in the NBA, and I've got them doing so Friday in two-thirds of simulations.

This is a big game with the Kings two games behind the Clippers for the eighth seed in the Western Conference. The Kings are an excellent team at home and are 11-1 there against the spread across their last 12 games. The Clippers have managed to stay afloat after trading away Tobias Harris, but I like the Kings to win and cover this small line.
36-21-2 IN LAST 59 NBA ATS PICKS | +1274

4-3 IN LAST 7 SAC ATS PICKS | +65
CHICAGO +3
CHICAGO @ ATLANTA | 3/01 | 7:30 PM EST
9:37 AM
The Bulls are a much-improved team since they added Otto Porter. They’ve won four of their last five games with the only loss coming in a matchup against the Bucks that Porter sat out with an injury. They weren’t cheap wins, either, with two of them coming on the road and one of them at home against the Celtics. I’ll take the Bulls and the points.
36-21-2 IN LAST 59 NBA ATS PICKS | +1274
2-1 IN LAST 3 ATL ATS PICKS | +90
2-1 IN LAST 3 CHI ATS PICKS | +90
MILWAUKEE -4.5
MILWAUKEE @ L.A. LAKERS | 3/01 | 10:30 PM EST
9:36 AM
After a badly needed win at home against the Pelicans on Wednesday, the Lakers find themselves with an extremely tough matchup against a healthy Bucks team. The Bucks have played well on the road this year, posting an 18-12-1 record ATS. They’ve won 12 of their last 13 games, overall, and have done so by an average of 12.6 points per contest. Look for them to win and cover this relatively small line.

The Bulls have won and covered four of their last five, the exception being a hard-fought, 11-point loss to NBA-best Milwaukee. With Otto Porter in the lineup, they're 5-2. Grab the points and look for the visiting team to win for the fifth straight time in this series.

The Pelicans are tough to back or fade, because who knows how long Anthony Davis hits the court and how the team will react when he's not in there late. But oddsmakers haven't figured it out yet either -- New Orleans is on a 3-0 ATS run. Phoenix had lost 17 straight before winning at Miami. Of those 17 losses, 14 were by at least six points. Jrue Holiday and Julius Randle, sprinkled in with 20-odd minutes from Davis, should be enough to cover.
54-41-1 IN LAST 96 NBA ATS PICKS | +869
CHICAGO +3
CHICAGO @ ATLANTA | 3/01 | 7:30 PM EST
11:12 AM
The Bulls are no longer the embarrassment they were early in the season, with Otto Porter a fantastic acquisition, and a healthy Zach LaVine and Lauri Markkanen. Atlanta may be hitting a wall with high-energy rookie Trae Young leading the way. The Hawks have lost six of nine. This is only the fifth time they've been favored this season -- they covered in only one of those games.
54-41-1 IN LAST 96 NBA ATS PICKS | +869
3-0 IN LAST 3 ATL ATS PICKS | +300
4-1 IN LAST 5 CHI ATS PICKS | +290
MILWAUKEE -4.5
MILWAUKEE @ L.A. LAKERS | 3/01 | 10:30 PM EST
11:04 AM
The Bucks are 25-4 since Christmas, with a margin of victory of 9.5 ppg in all games, three points more than any other team. They have the best record in the league, the best road record, and against the spread they're one of the more-consistent winners. The Lakers may have some confidence after downing the Pelicans, but Anthony Davis played only 20 minutes and not down the stretch at all with the game on the line. Prior to that, they'd lost to the Grizzlies and Hawks. L.A. has been one of the poorer ATS teams, and Milwaukee is too balanced and talented when Giannis is healthy.

3-2 IN LAST 5 MIL ATS PICKS | +82
