Game Analysis

Ricky's 1* play on GS.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- New York is 3-12 ATS in its last 15 games.

- New York is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games played in January.

- New York is 1-4 in its last 5 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

NCAA-B | Cal-Riverside vs Long Beach State
Play on: OVER 142 -115
Game Analysis

Thursday 26-1 NHL GAME OF THE MONTH HEADLINES along with College Hoops. Comp play below

The Thursday College hoops Comp play is on the OVER 142.5 in the Cal Riverside at Long Beach St game. Rotation numbers 849/850 at 10 eastern. The System in this game is 83% to the over long term and pertains to home of 13 or less like Long Beach off a home win and a spread loss if they scored more than 80 points the total tonight is at least 140 and the opponent is off a home loss but covered the spread. Long Beach has gone over in 10 of 12 and Cal River has gone over in 6 of 9 on the road. The total opened at 147 and is now at 142 in some spots so you get a little line value in what should be a competitive game between two teams with identical 6-11 records. Play this one Over the total. GL Rob V-

FRANK’S CUTTING ROOM FLOOR FOR THURSDAY, 1/15:

My “Cutting Room Floor” plays are the situations I considered the closest to being worthy of investment but did not make the “final cut” for my official plays today for subscribers. The last play I cut for Thursday is with the Golden State Warriors minus the points versus the New York Knicks. Golden State (22-19) has won nine of their last 13 games after a 119-97 victory at home against Portland as a 10.5-point favorite on Tuesday. The Warriors stay at home where they have covered the point spread in 5 of their last 8 games as a favorite laying 6.5 to 12 points. This is their eighth game in the last two weeks — and they have covered the point spread in 5 of the last 7 home games when playing for at least the eighth time in the last 14 days. New York (26-150 has lost six of their last eight games after a 112-101 upset loss at Sacramento as a 10.5-point favorite last night. The Knicks have now failed to cover the point spread in 14 of their last 19 games on the road. Jalen Brunson is doubtful to play tonight given an ankle injury — and that certainly does not help this team that has failed too cover the point spread in 7 of their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage in the 51-60% range. Take Golden State minus the points. Best of luck — Frank.

Frank Sawyer is still on a 14 of 22 (64%) NBA run with featured 25*/20*/10* plays (after losing with Philadelphia last night) that fuels his 28 of 44 (64%) NBA featured plays winning streak! Frank BOUNCES BACK tonight by furthering his 13 of 17 (76%) NBA sides run with featured plays with the SUPER SIDE SITUATION! Want ONE MORE WINNER for Thursday? BANK on Frank!

NBA | Hornets vs Lakers
Play on: OVER 233 -110
Game Analysis

(#517) Charlotte Hornets @ (#518) Los Angeles Lakers | OVER | . 

While the Hornets continue to grow as a young and gritty team, there's no question that they can still compete with some of the top teams even during this growing stretch. I mean, they've beaten OKC and just beat the Jazz by 50+ already thus far. There's no question in my mind that Charlotte can hang with an aging Lakers group and make things interesting on Thursday. 

Well, why aren't I taking the Hornets then? Because both teams love to play in high scoring games and both have some inconsistencies in the winning department at times. LAL just dropped 141 points on Atlanta and would love to keep scoring as much this evening. Either way, this line is way too low considering how these teams play. 

Burns' Prediction: 123-118 Lakers.
