Dave's Friday Free Play:

1* on Rutgers +6.5

The Key: I like the price we are getting on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights tonight.  They have gone 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall including home wins over Oregon and Northwestern outright as underdogs during this stretch.  They also lost by 6 at Iowa as 17.5-point dogs and by 9 at Wisconsin as 15.5-point dogs.  The Scarlet Knights are much better than they get credit for.  The opposite is true for Indiana, which is 0-4 SU & 1-3 ATS in its last 4 games overall.  The Hoosiers are 1-4 SU & 2-3 ATS in true road games this year.  They shouldn't be getting this kind of love as 6.5-point road favorites tonight.  Take Rutgers.

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

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.

- The Under is 4-1 in Detroit's last 5 games against an opponent in the Western Conference.

- The Under is 8-2 in Houston's last 10 games played in January.

- The Under is 10-2 in Houston's last 12 games.

Verdict: Points should be hard to come by in this game.

Friday’s FREE WINNER: Utah State Aggies.

Game 693.

7:00 PMN PST/10:00 PM EST.

At first glance, you might look at this game and feel the line is sharp. But I feel Utah State is in a sense of urgency to get a big victory here following back-to-back losses against two teams they were heavily-favored over. They lost to Grand Canyon just six days ago on the road, 84-74, then followed that up with a home loss at the hands of UNLV, 86-76. As a matter of fact, USU has failed to cover three consecutive games. They must get back on track here because following this game they have an “easy” game against Wyoming at home before taking on the top team in the Mountain West, San Diego State also at home. They must get in sync and get back winning. They are currently tied with New Mexico and Nevada, all sitting in second place at 6-2 in MWC play. They face a Colorado State team that has struggled against league opponents, going just 3-5 in the Mountain West action this season. These two teams did meet in Logan, Utah back on December 20, where the Aggies shredded the Rams, 100-58. They have the confidence of knowing they really put a beat down on their conference rival, and really need this victory here today. Statistically, the road team averages over 11-points per game more offensively, and only allows 1.6 points per game more defensively. These are two of the more accurate teams in the nation. While CSU possesses the fourth-ranked three-point shooting team in college basketball, and this is a place where USU has some problems, I do feel overall the Aggie's must come in here with a sense of urgency and come out victorious. Take Utah State. Thank you.

1* on Rutgers +6½

I’m taking the Over here because Colorado’s offense can push the pace on its own, and Philadelphia has shown defensive lapses against high-powered teams. With the Avalanche averaging nearly four goals per game, this matchup sets up for a higher-scoring outcome.

Play on the OVER. This is a FREE play!

Ohio State +15.5

The Buckeyes and Wolverines renew their rivalry and we’re on Ohio State. The Buckeyes come in winners of back to back games and three of their last four as they have found a solid offensive rhythm. They put up nearly 84 ppg and they’ll come out with purpose against Michigan. The Wolverines have won 3 straight, but all of which have fell short of this number they’re laying against the Bucks. Back Ohio State. 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.

PSP Data Driven 1* Under.

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 Under. The Under is 7-3 in Phoenix's last 10 games.The Under is 8-4 in Atlanta's last 12 games.

The 27-17 Suns have established themselves as a legitimate top-five seed in the Western Conference. They have achieved this largely by beating and covering against bad teams, going 16-3 ATS as a favorite for 84 percent! This includes going 7-1 ATS as road chalk.

Phoenix is playing well and is rested. The Suns have won three in a row and last played three days ago. Motivation should be there for them, too. The Hawks came from 22 points down to defeat the Suns, 124-122, in their previous matchup on Nov. 17 at Phoenix.

The Hawks are 1-4 in their last five games, adjusting to life in the post Trae Young era. Atlanta is four games below .500 on the season and only 7-13 at home.

The Hawks rank 25th defensively. If you go by the past 10 games, the Suns are No. 3 defensively and fifth on the season. 

1* Free Pick on Rangers +105

Jack's Free Pick Friday: Indiana Pacers +16.5

It's a good time to 'sell high' on the Oklahoma City Thunder tonight.  They have gone 4-1 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall with four blowout wins.  Now they return home from a 4-game road trip, and I like fading teams in that first home game following an extended road trip.

The Thunder are very short-handed right now without Jalen Williams, Isaiah Hartenstein, Ajay Mitchell and Alex Caruso.  Both Jaylin Williams and Aaron Wiggins are questionable as well.  The Thunder won't be all that motivated to beat the team they took down in the NBA Finals last year.

At 10-35 on the season, the Pacers are going to find it hard to be motivated the rest of the way.  However, this is one spot they will be motivated with NBA Finals revenge in mind.  In their first meeting with the Thunder this season, they took them to double-OT in a 141-135 home loss.

The Pacers are about as healthy as they have been all season and have gone 4-4 SU in their last eight games overall.  They have just one loss by more than 15 points in their last 13 games, so they have been competitive for a long stretch here.  Bet the Pacers Friday.

The Milwaukee Bucks are rested and motivated.  The Denver Nuggets are beat up and tired.  They will be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 5th game in 7 days.  Peyton Watson played 40 minutes and four starters played at least 32 minutes for the Nuggets last night.  They could elect to rest Jamal Murray and/or Aaron Gordon.  The Bucks are very healthy right now only missing Kevin Porter Jr.  Giannis sounded pissed off after their latest loss and is primed for a big game tonight to lead the Bucks to a blowout victory over the Nuggets.  Give me the Bucks.

Toronto @ Portland  (10:10 PM EST)
Play On:  Toronto -2 1/2

The Toronto Raptors travel to Portland to take on the Blazers on Friday night.  

This is a play on the CHARLOTTE 49ERS for our Friday Free Play. This game was originally scheduled for Sunday at 2:00 so this move is a huge advantage for Charlotte as the 49ers as they go to a primetime Friday game which will provide a great environment. Charlotte is coming off a win on Sunday to improve to 4-2 in the American and it has a big rest advantage here compared to Tulane and the 49ers do not have to worry about getting out of town to beat the weather. The 49ers are 7-4 at home with those four losses against teams ranked between No. 34 and No. 145, all better than tonight’s opposition. We saw two changes on Thursday where times were moved up to the afternoon and it severely affected Louisiana and UL Monroe as the road teams did not adjust and were both blown out. Tulane is coming off a game on Wednesday in Boca Raton against Florida Atlantic which resulted in its third straight loss and the Green Wave are now 3-3 in the conference. The loss to the Owls was actually just their first road loss of the season as they are 3-1 but the three wins were against teams ranked No. 334, No. 298 and No. 350. Play (848) Charlotte 49ers

Friday's CBB Free Pick

PLAY ON: Ohio State +15

In the fast-paced world of NHL betting, tonight's matchup between the New York Rangers and San Jose Sharks at the SAP Center stands out as a prime opportunity for value hunters focusing on totals. With the league experiencing a slight lean toward overs this season—51.9% of games hitting the over through late January, the broader context reveals a nuanced picture where defensive play has tightened in certain scenarios, particularly in cross-conference clashes like this one. Goal scoring across the NHL has averaged around 6.2 goals per game in January 2026, but trends show a dip in high-scoring affairs when teams with middling offenses face off against opponents emphasizing structure, leading to unders cashing at a 48.1% clip overall. This dynamic plays into the strengths of bets like the under, especially when road teams with recent over tendencies collide with home squads clamping down defensively.

Diving into team-specific angles, the Rangers enter this contest with a 21-24-6 record, struggling on the road where they've allowed an average of 3.12 goals against per game, ranking 22nd league-wide. Their defense, anchored by Adam Fox, who leads all Rangers blueliners with 28 points but has seen the unit surrender 159 goals in 51 games, has shown flashes of resilience, going under in six of their last 10 away tilts when facing Pacific Division foes. However, New York's offense has been inconsistent, averaging just 2.67 goals per game, and they've hit the over in six of their last seven overall due to leaky play, though that streak includes matchups against higher-scoring Eastern Conference rivals. On the flip side, the Sharks boast a 25-21-3 mark, bolstered by a home defense that's held opponents to low outputs in seven of their last 10 at the SAP Center, contributing to unders in four of their past five games. San Jose's blueline, featuring Dmitry Orlov with 23 points and a focus on shot-blocking (111 blocks for Jake Walman alone last season's trend carrying over), allows 3.51 goals per game but has improved in January, limiting chances and forcing unders in three straight. Their offense clicks at 3.08 goals per outing, but against Metropolitan Division teams, they've averaged under 6.0 combined goals in recent history, emphasizing a grind-it-out style that favors low-event hockey.

From a betting angle, this game's total of 6.5 aligns with the combined scoring average of these squads at 5.8 goals per game, while their defensive allowances sit at 6.6, creating a razor-thin margin where recent trends tip the scales toward caution. The Rangers' road woes, 1-7 straight up in their last eight, often lead to conservative play, reducing shot volume and high-danger opportunities, a pattern seen in 60% of their underdog spots this season where they've covered the puck line but kept scores tight. Meanwhile, the Sharks as home favorites have gone 7-3 on the moneyline in similar setups, but their games trend under when the total is set at 6.5 or higher, hitting at a 52.9% rate as underdogs earlier in the year that translates to disciplined defense now. Factoring in goaltending, New York's .890 save percentage facing San Jose's .885, expect a battle of attrition rather than a shootout, with both teams' recent defensive improvements (Rangers blocking 45 shots via Fox alone, Sharks emphasizing neutral-zone traps) pointing to limited rebounds and secondary scoring.

All signs converge on the under 6.5 goals offering strong value at +110 or better , as the interplay of league-wide scoring moderation in January, the Rangers' road conservatism, and the Sharks' home lockdown create an ideal setup for a sub-7-goal final. This isn't about chasing overs from New York's recent run but capitalizing on matchup-specific angles where stats and trends align for a lower-scoring affair.

Friday NBA Free play. My selection is on Oklahoma City minus the points over Indiana at 8:10 pm et on Friday.

I think the Pacers are going to have a really difficult time trying to keep up with the Thunder on Friday night. Indiana is playing some of its worst basketball of the season right now and that's saying something considering they're off to a 10-35 start. The Pacers have been held to 40 or fewer made field goals in five of their last six games and now face a Thunder squad that is rested and absolutely locked in defensively. Oklahoma City has held five straight and 10 of its last 12 opponents to 41 or fewer made field goals. That's despite three of its last eight opponents hoisting up 104 or more field goal attempts. On the flip side, the Thunder have shaken out of a recent lull to connect on 50 and 49 field goals over their last two games. I don't think they'll take their foot off the gas one bit on Friday as they open a three-game homestand. Take Oklahoma City.

AAA Sports' Selection -- Utah State Aggies / Colorado State Rams OVER.

Utah State has lost back-to-back games but it hasn't slowed it down from scoring.

The OVER has hit in both of those losses and is now 5-1 over it's L6 games this season.

The Aggies have a loaded offense and have guys that can go off in any given matchup.

Since last year, Colorado State has seen the total go OVER in 13 of it's L18 games played in the month of January.

The OVER is also 4-1 over the L5 games between these two teams.

Anticipate a lot of points tonight.

1% GOLD RUSH on Aryna Sabalenka/Victoria Mboko: over 20

(#74) Colorado Avalanche | ML | . 

Philadelphia has been quite poor recently and is coming off a disappointing overtime loss on the road against Utah. The Flyers are slowly but surely falling down the Metro standings and I believe that it's only a matter of time before they reach rock bottom unless something changes. They need to add some players to the roster prior to the deadline to stay competitive. 

Colorado hasn't been at its best either. But, it still owns the best record in hockey by a decent margin. I believe that the Avalanche will have no problem rebounding from the shootout loss to Anaheim on Wednesday. They are simply too powerful for Philadelphia. 

Burns' Prediction: 6-3 Colorado.
