DENVER @ GOLDEN ST. | 3/08 | 10:30 PM EST
YESTERDAY 10:18 PM
The Golden State Warriors have covered just once in their last 10 outings, but my numbers see them getting healthy Friday against the Nuggets and delivering a cash against the modest number. I've got the Warriors winning by double figures in the majority of simulations and beating the spread at least 60 percent of the time. Lay the points.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 3/08 | 10:30 PM EST
YESTERDAY 10:09 PM
My projections see the Thunder beating the Clippers on Friday in more than 60 percent of simulations, providing a major value on the small road underdog. My data has Oklahoma City winning straight up 61 percent of the time while also covering the meager number in 63 percent of simulations. The Thunder have covered seven of the past 10 matchups in this series.

TORONTO -4.5
TORONTO @ NEW ORLEANS | 3/08 | 8:00 PM EST
12:28 AM
The Raptors have dropped two straight and will be plenty focused Friday. They'll face a Pelicans team that won't have Jrue Holiday (21.2 ppg, 7.7 apg, 5.0 rpg). Holiday does everything for New Orleans, including guarding the opponent's best perimeter player. Look for Toronto to cover for the 15th time in its last 17 visits to New Orleans.

DALLAS @ ORLANDO | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 11:24 PM
Terrence Ross (14.6 ppg) will be back in the lineup Friday, which is great news for a Magic team that needs this game badly. The Mavs are playing zero defense on the road lately. In their last five road games, they've surrendered 120, 125, 121, 127 and 132 points -- all SU and ATS losses. Lay it.

A look at the season stats indicate the way to go here might be with the Pelicans, but that doesn’t take into account the current state of the team. Anthony Davis is still playing limited minutes and now they will be without both Jrue Holiday (abdomen) and E’Twaun Moore (quad) for this game. This is not a back-to-back situation for the Raptors, so Kawhi Leonard should be good to go. Take the Raptors to cover.

ORLANDO -7
DALLAS @ ORLANDO | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
9:28 AM
The wheels have come off for the Mavericks. They’ve lost eight of their last nine games, five of which came on the road. Those five losses on the road were by an average of 17.8 points. The Magic are coming off of a couple of losses on the road, but they have won five of their last six games at home, which included victories over the Pacers and Warriors. Look for them to take care of business and cover.

*** CHARLOTTE -4.5
WASHINGTON @ CHARLOTTE | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
9:28 AM
The Wizards are one of the worst road teams in the league and have just a 10-23 mark there ATS. Even though the Hornets have lost seven of their last nine games, some of the teams they lost to during that stretch include the Pacers, Warriors, Rockets and Blazers. The last time they played the Wizards at home, they won by 13 points. I’ll take them to win again and cover.

PHILADELPHIA @ HOUSTON | 3/08 | 8:00 PM EST
1:52 PM
Wish I had jumped on this a lot sooner, but I'm still laying the points with Houston now that the Big Three are healthy and rolling. Ben Simmons might not play, and even if he does it's unlikely he'll be 100 percent. Joel Embiid is out and Clint Capela is going to have a field day at the rim. Look for the Rockets to avenge their blowout loss in Philly, emphatically.

NEW YORK +4.5
SACRAMENTO @ NEW YORK | 3/09 | 12:00 PM EST
The Kings are an amazing 13-4 against the spread when favored, as they are Saturday. But my advanced computer model projects a Knicks straight-up victory at MSG. They're covering in 60 percent of my simulations, a solid number that's worth backing.
68-44 IN LAST 112 NBA PICKS | +2024
MINNESOTA -7
WASHINGTON @ MINNESOTA | 3/09 | 8:00 PM EST
The Wizards are a poor 10-23 against the spread on the road, easily dead-last in the NBA. The Timberwolves have covered just once in their last five games, but getting Washington at home (Minnesota is 18-13 ATS at Xcel) is a cure for what ails. My projections like the Wolves to cruise by double figures, covering handily.
68-44 IN LAST 112 NBA PICKS | +2024

10-8 IN LAST 18 MIN ATS PICKS | +131
MONTREAL -135
MONTREAL @ ANAHEIM | 3/08 | 10:00 PM EST
Anaheim is not a good home team by any stretch, and it doesnt' step up when the underdog, just 18-34. Montreal is 5-2 against the spread as a home favorite, and my advanced computer model is confidently backing the Canadiens to win again Friday.
5-1 IN LAST 6 NHL ML PICKS | +432
6-1 IN LAST 7 MON ML PICKS | +510
COLUMBIA -3
DARTMOUTH @ COLUMBIA | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
Dartmouth has lost 10 of 11, while Columbia has actually shown improvement as the season winds down, coming into Friday having won three of four. Dartmouth's one victory in that brutal span was a 16-point rout of Columbia, but Columbia covers in well over 60 percent of my computer simulations in this rematch.
2-1 IN LAST 3 CLMB ATS PICKS | +95
PHILADELPHIA +7.5
PHILADELPHIA @ HOUSTON | 3/08 | 8:00 PM EST
No Joel Embiid tonight for the Sixers, but without him in this current stretch, they're 4-3, with only one of the losses by more than three points. Houston has won six in a row but most of them have been close. The Rockets are only 20-27 ATS as a favorite, including 2-9 when the spread is between -6 and -9.
68-44 IN LAST 112 NBA PICKS | +2024
23-13 IN LAST 36 HOU ATS PICKS | +895
7-4 IN LAST 11 PHI ATS PICKS | +263
CHARLOTTE -4.5
WASHINGTON @ CHARLOTTE | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
Few teams are as poor on the road as the Wizards, and my projections expect that to hold form against a Hornets team that plays far better at home. My projections put Charlotte on top by double the current spread. Jump on the Hornets.
68-44 IN LAST 112 NBA PICKS | +2024
22-11 IN LAST 33 WAS ATS PICKS | +997
5-2 IN LAST 7 CHA ATS PICKS | +278

MINNESOTA @ MARYLAND | 3/08 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 5:51 PM
Minnesota is coming off a huge win over Purdue to improve its NCAA Tournament chances. The Gophers could use another one Friday at Maryland, but this rates to be a poor spot. They have plenty of talent but have been wildly inconsistent and often lack poise on the road against tough opponents. The Terrapins will be looking to close out their home slate on a high note after missed opportunities haunted them in a home loss to Michigan in their previous outing.
