YESTERDAY'S PLAYS

Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
Heat vs Pelicans	Heat +1½ -115	Free	123-111	Win	100	Show
I don't see ace coach Erik Spoelstra and his Heat going into the All Star break with consecutive losses to the Pelicans and Jazz. But that would be the case if Miami were to lose this game following its, 115-111, home loss to Utah this past Monday. The Heat are down several rotation players, Norman Powell and Pelle Larsson, but still are more talented than the Pelicans. New Orleans is 15-40 and rank 21st in scoring and 28th defensively. Miami is 28-27 and rank fourth in scoring and 21st defensively. The Heat have dominated this series winning 10 of the past 11 meetings. This includes a 125-106 beating of the Pelicans on Jan. 4. While the Heat are anxious to put past their embarrassing loss to the tanking Jazz, the Pelicans are fat and happy following their largest victory margin this season beating the hapless Kings, 120-94, at home two days ago. (Editor's note: Stephen Nover has three premium NBA plays today headed by his NBA Total of the Year in addition to this free selection, looking to go 8-2 this month on his NBA premium plays.)
Bucks vs Magic	Bucks +10½ -110	Premium	116-108	Win	100	Show
These two teams just played on Monday. The Bucks entered that matchup on a three-game winning streak and were leading the Magic at halftime. But Orlando put together a strong third quarter and easily won, 118-99. I like the Bucks in this short revenge spot to make the necessary adjustments and keep this game close. Yes, Milwaukee is way down minus injured Giannis Antetokounmpo. But this is far from a great Orlando team. The Magic are 21-31 (40%) ATS and rank 18th offensively and 14th defensively.
Knicks vs 76ers	Knicks +2½ -115	Premium	138-89	Win	100	Show
Perhaps the Knicks got caught looking ahead to this game when they lost as a 12-point home favorite to the Pacers Tuesday night. Whatever. I just want New York going for me today off that embarrassing loss. The Knicks are still 9-2 SU and ATS in their last 11 games. This is their final game before the All-Star break. They will have eight days before they play again. The Knicks are better than the 76ers. They will suck it up and be ready for this game. Philadelphia is not in a good situational spot either returning home after five consecutive West Coast games. The 76ers didn't conclude their road swing until this past Monday night in Portland when they lost to the Trail Blazers by 17 points.
Bulls vs Celtics	UNDER 225½ -110	Top Premium	105-124	Loss	-110	Show
Not only do the Celtics rank second defensively holding opponents to an average of 108.4 points a game while ranking third in defensive field goal percentage, but they are the slowest paced team in the NBA. The result is the Celtics have gone Under in 64 percent of their games this season. This Under run has been very prevalent lately with Boston going below the total in 14 of its last 16 games, including nine of the last 10. The Celtics aren't going to lack defensive motivation against the Bulls in this revenge spot. Chicago upset Boston, 114-111, as 3.5-point home underdogs on Jan. 25. The Celtics also are off an embarrassing national television loss to the Knicks, 111-89, this past Sunday. The Bulls remain without their injured scoring and assists leader, Josh Giddey. The Bulls have looked lost without getting Giddey, who is out with a hamstring injury. Chicago has dropped five in a row, averaging 109.6 points a game during this span.

NCAA-B | Youngstown State vs Oakland

Play on: Oakland -4 -110 at circa

Game Analysis

I want Oakland off a bad, 91-78, road loss to Cleveland State. The Golden Grizzlies were 7 1/2-point favorites in that game.

The Golden Grizzlies (14-11, 10-4 Horizon League) have followed each of their previous three defeats with a victory and cover.

Oakland is home and high scoring averaging more than 83 points a game. Youngstown State (12-13, 5-9 Horizon League) is below average in many major defensive categories.

The Golden Grizzlies have covered 63 percent of their games this season while the Penguins have covered only 32 percent of their games.
