TORONTO -138
DALLAS @ TORONTO | 2/13 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 9:19 PM
My simulations see the Maple Leafs taking down the Stars nearly two-thirds of the time in their Thursday battle, providing a value price on the short home chalk. I've got Toronto winning 65 percent of the time in this matchup. Toronto has won its last four against Western Conference opponents and also has taken six of the last seven meetings in this series on its home ice.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ NEW ORLEANS | 2/13 | 8:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 9:07 PM
My numbers see at least 239 points hitting the board Thursday between the Thunder and Pelicans, sending this one well Over the posted total. The Over is hitting in a whopping 69 percent of simulations between these high-powered clubs. The Over is on a 7-3 run in this series and the Thunder are playing Over at a 4-0-1 clip when coming off a straight-up loss. The defense-challenged Pelicans are on a 17-5 overall run to the Over.

PLAY: UNDER Memphis/Cincy
RATING: TRIPLE DIME PLAY
Huge game in the AAC and we love the UNDER here for 3*. Huge Trends for this one including the fact that Memphis is 9-1 UNDER last 10 road games. It is mostly because the Tigers have struggled traveling scoring points and especially against good defensive teams. That is what Cincy is and the fact is Memphis is #12 out of 353 D1 Teams for Defensive Efficiency as well. UNDER is 4-1 the last 5 Head to Head Match-ups including a 60-47 affair back in Memphis earlier this season. We actually have a strong lean for the Bearcats to cover this number as well but the UNDER is by far the best bet here. Handicapping games based on Tempo is not always the best thing to do and this is one of those games. Let's play UNDER at 3* at your best number..
Late Morning Note: This number is slightly down from the open but a 3* Play MUCH Lower than what is posted

ARIZONA @ OTTAWA | 2/13 | 7:30 PM EST
11:21 AM
The Coyotes are 19-11 with the under on the road this season but they are missing their starting goalie in Darcy Kuemper. The Senators average 3.0 goals per game at home this season but the Coyotes give up the sixth fewest goals per game on the road with 2.77. The Senators have the sixth worst power play in the league at home with just 16.5% effectiveness. Take the under.

PHILADELPHIA @ FLORIDA | 2/13 | 7:00 PM EST
11:20 AM
The Panthers are just 5-4-1 in their last 10 games but they are 16-10-2 at home this season. The Flyers are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games but they are 12-14-3 on the road this season. The Panthers score the third most goals at home with 3.82 goals per game while the Flyers give up the fourth most goals per game on the road. Philly is in the bottom third with both their special teams on the road, and the Panthers convert power plays at 24.7% effectiveness at home. Take the value in the Panthers at home in a crucial Wild Card matchup.

ARIZONA ST. +2.5
ARIZONA ST. @ STANFORD | 2/13 | 11:00 PM EST
The Cardinal have fallen in five of the last six straight-up and likely will be minus their top scorer and rebounder in forward Oscar da Silva. He has not practiced since taking a nasty blow to the head Saturday. Arizona State is a mirror image, having won five of the past six, with only a two-point road defeat soiling the streak. Stanford struggles to score at full strength.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ NEW ORLEANS | 2/13 | 8:00 PM EST
After splitting a four-game homestand, the Thunder are back on the road for this matchup against the Pelicans. They have been one of the best road teams in the league in the world of wagering, posting a 20-5 record there ATS. In fact, they have covered the spread in 12 straight away games. They defeated the Pelicans in each of their previous three meetings this season, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they won this outright, especially if Brandon Ingram (ankle) is forced to miss his third straight contest. I’ll take the points.

CALGARY @ ANAHEIM | 2/13 | 10:00 PM EST
1:30 PM
Away favorites off no rest facing a conference opponent are 21-8 straight up -- this indicates a play on the Flames over the Ducks. The Flames are 7-4 SU this season as an away favorite, and 4-2 as an away favorite coming off a loss to a team that has a lower winning percentage than them. We are on the Flames.
4-0 IN LAST 4 NHL PICKS | +400
WASHINGTON +116
WASHINGTON @ COLORADO | 2/13 | 9:30 PM EST
12:47 PM
Washington is coming off two rough losses as it faces the Avalanche in Colorado. With a line of greater than -150, the Capitals are 6-0 SU off a loss against a team that has a lower winning percentage than them. Away underdogs looking for revenge off a loss in their previous game against a team with a lower winning percentage are 19-14 SU this season. This applies to the Capitals. Look for the Capitals to shake off the rust and get a win in Colorado.
4-0 IN LAST 4 NHL PICKS | +400
OVER 234
OKLAHOMA CITY @ NEW ORLEANS | 2/13 | 8:00 PM EST
12:44 PM
The Thunder average 18.8 fouls per game, which is the fewest of the teams in the West. New Orleans games tend to go Over when the Pelicans face teams that don’t get whistled for a lot of fouls. The Over is 12-0 when New Orleans is a favorite with rest, coming off a win as a favorite and facing a team that is averaging fewer than 20 fouls per game, zooming Over the total by 21.4 points a game. In addition, the Pelicans are coming off a win over Portland in which 40 of their 49 baskets were assisted. This also has been a big Over indicator. The Over is 12-0 when the Pelicans have less than two days rest off a win as a favorite in which they had an assist percentage at least 10 points better than their season-to-date average. Play the Over.

TAMPA BAY -1.5
EDMONTON @ TAMPA BAY | 2/13 | 7:00 PM EST
2:11 PM
The Lightning are playing well, and that begins with their play in net with Andrei Vasilevskiy, who is riding a personal-best 19-game point streak (17-0-2) and has won three of his last four starts against the Oilers. Edmonton is without leading scorer Connor McDavid and has dropped seven straight meetings in Tampa. Lightning puck line is the play.
9-3 IN LAST 12 NHL ATS PICKS | +708
COLUMBUS -110
COLUMBUS @ BUFFALO | 2/13 | 7:00 PM EST
2:07 PM
The Blue Jackets have hit a bump with two straight losses, which is the first time since Christmas they have lost back-to-back games. But they face a struggling Sabres team that has lost six of nine. Buffalo also has dropped five of its last seven home games and is just 5-12 in its last 17 games following a win. The Jackets own the second best scoring defense in the NHL (2.40 GAA) and face a Sabres team struggling to find the back of the net (21st in the NHL in goals per game). Columbus money line is the play.
16-9 IN LAST 25 NHL PICKS | +693

Rotation #635
Florida Atlantic +2 over Southern Miss
Southern Miss is breaking in with a new coach and they didn’t get any big program transfers this off-season so they are playing Community and Junior College players. This Golden Eagles team doesn’t return much star power and it shows by their record. Florida Atlantic has players on their team that have not beaten Southern Miss and this will be the best chance they get. Southern Miss suspended a few new guys and doesn’t have much of a bench. The Owls are a little bit better on the offensive and defensive end in conference play. Take Florida Atlantic.

COLORADO +4.5
COLORADO @ OREGON | 2/13 | 9:00 PM EST
Oregon’s offense has been missing as the Ducks scored their fewest points of the season in consecutive road losses. That’s an issue as Colorado hindered Oregon on Jan. 2 and did not trail for the final 30 minutes of that matchup. Grab Colorado as the spread is skewed based on the Ducks being undefeated at home.

WINTHROP @ G-WEBB | 2/13 | 7:00 PM EST
The tough-luck Bulldogs have seen all six of their conference losses come by single figures, including a four-point loss at conference-leader Winthrop in their first meeting. But Gardner-Webb appears to be peaking and comes into Thursday's rematch off its best two-game stretch of the season, with a pair of 30-point victories behind an efficient offense. The Bulldogs shot 47 percent from 3-point range against High Point and catches the Eagles in a possible down spot following their first Big South loss of the season.
