3* on Cavs

Cavs -4.5

Cleveland and Charlotte are in off back to backs, but this is a new look Cavs team. Cleveland has looked like a team with brand new energy since acquiring Harden and he’s fit in perfectly with this lineup. Cleveland demolished the Nets on Thursday and put up 112, while allowing just 84. This defense looks rejuvenated and the Hornets have struggled defensively on the own side. Cleveland’s offense is going to have their way in the paint and open up a lot of shooting lanes.Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the CAVS -4.5.

Free Play on St. Peter's- The MAAC is the league where road teams have done the best ATS out of any conference in the country in the last decade. The home court advantage is very overrated here. Iona has dropped recent home games to both Fairfield and Mount St. Mary's too. Iona isn't playing as well as they did earlier in the year. I think St. Peter's is clearly the better team, and they should dominate on the glass. The Peacocks already won in league play at Quinnipiac and at Fairfield. Take St. Peter's.

Ricky's 1* play on MEM.

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.

- Memphis is 6-2 SU in its last 8 games when playing at home against Utah.

- Utah is 4-13 SU in its last 17 games.

- Utah is 1-6 SU in its last 7 games against Memphis.

Verdict: The value is on the Home favorite.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports in MLS. Take LA Galaxy over NYCFC (7 p.m. EST, Sunday, February 22) Last year the Galaxy were fresh of their MLS Cup win and expectations were high, but they got off to a historically bad start, winless in their first 16 games, and the season was over before it started. A lot of this had to do with injuries, especially to Ricard Puig, the Galaxy’s best player. He was really central to a lot of what the Galaxy wanted to do, and his absence created lots of problems for the side. Puig had offseason surgery, and is out again for the season, but the Galaxy have solidified the team in his absence. Young players got a lot of experience last season when they might have not otherwise had the opportunity, and they made some nice signings in the offseason. Last season is a thing of the past, and this team is back to where it wants to be as a Cup contender and a very likely playoff side at the very least. They are underrated by the oddsmakers to start the season, and we will take advantage of the value here with this plus-money line. The Galaxy have won the last two meetings at home vs NYCFC, and we see this one as a low scoring match but we think the Galaxy will find a way to win. There hasn’t been a draw in seven meetings and we don’t envision one here. After last season, we think there will be an emphasis on a strong start, and home pitch will propel the Galaxy to three points.

Jim's FREE Play : 536. Lakers -7 (7:10 PT / 10:10 ET)

The Lakers are sitting around -6.5 at home. The driving force for liking them to cover is availability. Injury updates coming out of Thursday's practice has the Lakers hopeful to be at essentially full strength with Luka Doncic back in the fold, Austin Reaves coming off minutes restrictions, and Deandre Ayton expected to play. If that happens the Lakers simply have a higher offensive floor with more avenues to build separation - particularly late in games when spacing and shot creation decides close ones. Conversely, the Clippers injury report has guards Darius Garland out and Bradley Beal out, which limits their depth at guard and makes it more difficult to sustain pace for 4 quarters. Throw in the difference in overall play (Lakers 33-21 vs Clippers 26-28) and you've got yourself a spot where the Lakers can cover comfortably if they play smart / limit dumb turnovers and control the boards.
