Ricky's 1* play on TOR.

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.

- Toronto is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games.

- Orlando is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games.

- Toronto is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games on the road.

Verdict: The value is on the road Underdog.

Free Play – Take #882 Michigan State +1.5 over Michigan (8:00 p.m. ET, Friday, Jan. 30)

It promises to be a Big Ten showdown of epic proportions when No. 3 Michigan visits No. 7 Michigan State on Friday at East Lansing, Mich. The Wolverines (19-1, 9-11 ATS) and Spartans (19-2, 12-9 ATS) are part of a four-way tie for first (9-1) in conference play, along with No. 5 Nebraska and No.9 Illinois. Michigan State has won its past seven games, and Michigan has won its last five after beating the visiting Cornhuskers 75-72. The Wolverines committed a conference-high 19 turnovers against Nebraska and cannot be as sloppy with the orange if they want to stay in first place. Both shoot the ball well, with Michigan a little more potent, and they get to the line more. The Spartans are more physical on defense, and they can compete on the glass with the Wolverines, which is a key element to follow. Michigan has a bit more talent, but this is a Tom Izzo team from prior years that beats you and is connected on both ends of the floor. With Sparty 15-3 ATS versus teams that attempt 21 or more 3-point shots a contest after 15+ games, I’ll call for the upset.

UNDER 6.5

Chicago and Columbus have value to the under. Columbus has caught fire and they have done it with success on both ends of the ice. They’ll likely go with Greaves in net, who owns a GAA of just 2.69. Knight has been just as good for Chicago, as he boasts a 2.59 GAA this season. Both goaltenders have played well as of late and we’ll get a game that is very slow developing throughout.

Dave's Friday Free Play:

1* on Cleveland Cavaliers -3.5

The Key: The Phoenix Suns will be playing for a 2nd consecutive night after a upset win over the Detroit Pistons last night.  They remain without Devin Booker and may sit others in this situation.  The Cleveland Cavaliers had Thursday off and are playing their best basketball of the year right now.  They are 7-1 SU & 6-2 ATS in their last 8 games and coming off a 30-point home win over the Lakers.  I like the price we are getting on the Cavs here in this favorable situation.  Take Cleveland.

1* Free Pick on Michigan -105

Michigan is the better basketball team right now and the market is telling you that with this short price. They enter this rivalry game with a significant advantage in offensive efficiency and floor spacing.

The Wolverines are currently ranking among the nation’s elite in effective field goal percentage. They move the ball quickly and consistently find open looks even against aggressive defenses.

Michigan State is struggling to find a rhythm on the offensive end this season. Their half-court sets often break down, leading to forced shots and low-percentage looks late in the shot clock.

The Spartans have been far too careless with the basketball throughout conference play. Michigan’s backcourt is disciplined and will turn those live-ball turnovers into easy transition points at the other end.

There is a clear gap in perimeter shooting between these two rosters. Michigan has multiple threats who can stretch the floor, while the Spartans lack consistent shooters to keep up in a high-possession game.

Michigan State’s defensive scheme is designed to protect the paint, but they struggle to close out on high-volume three-point teams. This system is a nightmare matchup for a Spartan defense that gets lost on screens.

Michigan has also proven they can hold their own on the glass. They are winning the rebounding battle in nearly every Big Ten game and limiting second-chance opportunities for their opponents.

The home-court advantage in East Lansing is already baked into this line, yet Michigan is still essentially a pick'em. That tells you the oddsmakers respect the Wolverines' talent much more than the Spartans' current form.

Michigan is 5-2 against the spread in their last seven trips to the Breslin Center. They won't be rattled by the atmosphere and have the veteran leadership to close this out late.

I like the Michigan ML (-105).

My premium card for today features two high-value selections in the NBA and NCAA-B. You can view my full analysis and locked-in plays for this evening by visiting my premium picks page.

PSP Data Driven 1* Michigan State.

At Professionalsportspicks we see a future where those handicapping sports without advanced analytics and data-driven strategies will be left behind. Our data-driven picks use data integration, search and discovery, and knowledge management along with collaboration with our in-house handicappers. By isolating relevant trends, removing human bias, and targeting only lines with a positive expected value above a certain threshold, our data-driven picks promise to outperform any and all human competitors.

Our models suggest that the value is on the Underdog. Michigan State is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games. Michigan is 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games against Michigan State.

*Free Play Under* The Marist Red Foxes have the best defense in the MAAC, and it isn't particularly close. Marist is allowing only 0.921 points per possession in league play. They are only mediocre at best on offense too. They are 8th in offensive efficiency in the league, and they are a poor 317th in offensive efficiency nationally for the season.

Canisius is 358th out of 365 teams in the country in offensive efficiency. They also rank 339th in tempo. The Golden Griffins are a bad team who wants to slow the game down. 

A low scoring contest. Take the under. 

(16-4 last 20 plays overall. 18-2 last 20 CBB plays. Get on board!) 

1* Free Pick on Nevada -8½ -110

1% GOLD RUSH on Detroit +6

3* on Michigan

Portland is the more motivated and focused team in this spot. The Trail Blazers had won nine of 11 games before losing their last three.

The Knicks may not be taking the Trail Blazers as seriously as they should, having already won an earlier meeting this season in Portland and riding a four-game winning streak after burying the Raptors, 119-92, in Toronto two days ago.

The Knicks have a huge look-ahead game, too, as following this matchup, New York hosts the Lakers in a nationally televised Sunday night game.

Portland is 14-10 (58%) ATS following a loss. The Trail Blazers also have covered four of the last five times when taking more than six points. 

Jack's Free Pick Friday: VCU -18

Loyola-Chicago is one of the worst teams in the country and oddsmakers continue to fail to adjust for just how bad they are.  The Ramblers are 5-17 SU & 5-17 ATS in all games this season.  They have lost eight straight overall coming into this one.

The Ramblers have rarely been competitive during this stretch losing at home to Davidson by 15, to Duquesne by 12 and to St. Joe's by 21, while also getting crushed on the road by George Washington by 35, Dayton by 27 and St. Bonaventure by 14.

VCU is one of the best teams in the Atlantic 10 and should make easy work of the Ramblers tonight.  It will be a great atmosphere for a Friday night home game in Richmond.  VCU is 10-2 at home this season with the losses coming to New Mexico and Saint Louis, two of the best mid-major teams in the country.  Seven of those 10 wins have come by 17 points or more.  This one will get ugly as well.  Bet VCU Friday.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Los Angeles Lakers -9

The Los Angeles Lakers are coming off one of their worst losses of the season.  They lost by 30 in Cleveland on Wednesday.  They have had a day off to recover, and they could get Austin Reaves back from injury tonight.  The Washington Wizards will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a 109-99 upset home win over the hapless Milwaukee Bucks last night.  They have already ruled out Tre Johnson, Khris Middleton and Marvin Bagley tonight.  Don't be surprised if their best player in Alex Sarr sits, too.  Give me the Lakers.

Friday's NBA Free Pick

PLAY ON: Pistons +2

AAA Sports' Selection -- Denver Nuggets ATS.

Los Angeles has made a run and is climbing the rankings but still has a lot of catching up to do.

The Clippers have a 1-4 straight up record over the L5 games between these two teams -- 0-4-1 against the spread.

Denver has won seven of it's L10 games and has covered against the spread in 58% of it's games this season.

The Nuggets are also 8-3 versus the spread over their L11 games played as an underdog.

At home, we've got Denver tonight.

Blue Jackets vs Blackhawks NHL Free Pick

The Angle: The Columbus Blue Jackets are playing their best hockey of the season, coming into this game with six wins in their last seven. The Chicago Blackhawks are trending in the opposite direction with two wins in eight games.

With the Blackhawks winning just one of their last six as home underdogs and the Blue Jackets 12-4 as favorites on the season, I like the price we get on the road favorite in tonight's only NHL game. 

The Bet: BLUE JACKETS (3%). 

Moneymaking 68% (32-15), +$15,450 NBA totals run ($1,000 bets) dating back to December 09, 2025! Mike has a 3-Pack of NBA Totals going Friday, with his Pistons/Warriors NBA BE$T PLAY of the Day (10:00 PM ET) included!

1* Bet on Michigan PK

For my best free pick on Friday in College Basketball I am looking at the Metro Atlantic Conference and the Fairfield Stags at the Iona Gaels. Fairfield has not covered 4 straight games and Iona has gotten bettors the money in 2 straight and 4 of the last 6 against Fairfield. Fairfield better at scoring better at rebounding better from the foul line. Better team is getting points here and while that does not always add up to a win we should be able to squeeze a cover out of this one tonight. 

Play on the Fairfield Stags plus the points rotation #863
