Midweek Action

Den Nuggets -4.5

I know that Toronto comes in here with a day of rest but it’s still their 3rd game in 4 nites coming into altitude without their best player in Leonard now Den usually plays well in these situations where they are well rested and a team is on an extended road trip the altitude usually sets in the middle of the 3rd qtr and the Nuggets start to pull away in the middle of the 3rd qtr when their opponents legs start to get a little weary with Nuggets being healthy and this line a little lower than it usually but Den hasn’t been playing as good as they should be and Toronto is an improve team so I will take Den tonite

Kraken ML -135, I like Seattle in this revenge spot with a massive rest advantage not playing since Friday and the flames playing their 4th game in 6 days ending a road trip

Toledo -25.5. Yea this is a massive number, but Toledo is just so much better than Sac state in every metric and I believe the line is this way because of that reason. I see this game as Toledo jumping out to a huge first half lead then really pinning the ears back defensively to allow Sac state very few scoring opportunities.

Denver Nuggets-4-1/2

Like DEnver to bounce back off their loss to Portland
Toronto,on a road trip playing their third game in 4 nights
Coming off a win at Clippers think fatigue will play a part

UTSA / FAU Over 73
FAU has no defense what so ever. UTSA should be able to score at will. FAU can put up a lot of points as well. I expect this to be a shootout and finish around 90 total points.

UMass Minutemen -2.5
Ball State has a poor run game and Umass has a good secondary
Umass has a good pass rush and Ball State's offensive line stinks
UMass rushing offense average 4.5 yards per carry
Ball State defense ranks 128th in explosive plays allowed
Ball State ranks 131st allowing 13 more points per game on average than they score
Ball State hasn't won a midweek MAC road game since 2023

UMass -3 After losing 4 in a row UMass should be able to win this game. Ballast defense pts a game is raked #131 giving up around 36 pts a game plus they are raked in the 100’s on every other defensive stats. UMass defense is better in all categories. The only concern is that both offenses are about the same. If UMass defense can play above average and their offense can complete drives then I see no reason UMass can’t cover the -3

Trae Young o19.5 ttl pts -114…Trae Young playing against the Hawks for the first time since he was traded last year..shud be extra incentive for him after playing with the Hawks for 7 years..Young in the first 7 games has averaged 22.1 pts per game..looking for him to at least hit the 20 mark tonight

BUIFFALO ML NHL
The Buffalo Sabres are a moneyline target to 58%.Ottawa is 2-5-1 without Linus Ullmark and a putrid .863 team save percentage is a big reason why. Sam Ersson is likely to start after Jonas Johansson conceded six last time out. He ranks 49th among 55 eligible goaltenders in Goals Saved Above Expected per 60 minutes, coming in at -0.80.

2 plays
MASSACHUSETTS; - 2 1/2
( Ball St has covered last 4/ Mass. is 1 -3 ats last 4 ( TAKE MASS)

CENTRAL MICH: +1
( CM was + 2 1/2 against TOLEDO at Toledo
( EM was + 11 1/2 against Toledo at Toledo

thats a 9 pt difference in favor of CM and they are getting 1,

Ball st over 49.5 these two teams are not that good but they can score and their defenses are not that good so I see the over being an easy pick take the over 49.5

NBA: Utah +6

Utah hasn’t played great to start the season, but NOLA hasn’t been great either. I think they’re ready to break out of their slump against the Pelicans. The last time these 2 teams met, Utah won by 1 point. With a 6 point cushion, I think it’s worth a shot.

Under 149. Saint Mary’s N Dakota state.
2 teams with one of the slowest tempo and pace in the nation and who thrive on defense. Look for N Dakota state to use all 30 seconds of shot clock before missing. 75-60 final

NBA (Point Spread): Milwaukee Bucks +10.5 (vs. Boston Celtics)

Why it wins: Boston's line was set around -14.5 before key roster updates. With Jayson Tatum ruled out for rest and depth in the backcourt banged up, Boston loses their primary engine for offensive isolation and interior scoring. Expect Milwaukee to keep this single-digit close throughout down the stretch.

Overall Record: 2-3

College Basketball (Point Spread): Wichita State -13.5 (vs. CSUN)

Why it wins: CSUN’s backcourt relies heavily on up-tempo driving lanes, but Wichita State’s length in the paint forces opponents into tough perimeter resets. Look for Wichita State to control the glass, stifle CSUN in the second half, and pull away to cover comfortably at home.

Overall Record: 2-3

NBA (Player Prop): Kyrie Irving UNDER 20.5 Points (Dallas Mavericks vs. San Antonio Spurs)

Why it wins: San Antonio's defense has specialized early this season in choking out above-the-break three-point attempts, which accounts for nearly half of Kyrie’s shot distribution. Spurs perimeter length will force him to pass off into secondary scoring options.

Overall Record: 2-3

College Basketball (Game Total): Queens at Loyola Marymount OVER 157.5

Why it wins: Queens plays at one of the highest possessions-per-game clips in non-conference play, prioritizing transition threes early in the shot clock. Combined with Loyola Marymount's efficient frontcourt offense inside, this game shapes up to be a high-scoring track meet.

Overall Record: 2-3
