Comp play for Sunday will be the Pacers and Clippers to stay Low.
Indiana hits the City of Angels off an Over on Thursday night in Sacramento, but the Pacers have seen 4 of their most recent 6 games hold Under the total, and the Low is on a 13-3 overall Under run their last 16 games. That stretch includes their March 23rd home game at home against the Clippers.
That Under between the teams puts the series run at 5-1-1 Under since the 2014 season!
As for the Clips, Los Angeles is on a 5-game Under streak that did start in Indy back on the aforementioned March 23rd contest.
Finally, the Pacers are on a 5-1 Under run their last 6 played against teams with a winning record, while the Clippers are Under the total in their last 4 games when playing with a days rest.
What do all of those numbers add up to? How about an Under at the Staples Center between Indy and Los Angeles for Easter Sunday.
4* INDIANA-L.A. CLIPPERS UNDER

My 1* Free Play is on the OKC Thunder.
Both teams are looking to solidify their playoff positioning. OKC is in sixth spot, only a half-game up on the eighth-seeded Pelicans.
The Thunder come in hungry after losing four of their last five. OKC will be especially motivated here after falling 126-125 in OT at home to Denver last time out. The Thunder outscored the Nuggets 35-22 in the fourth quarter, but it wasn’t enough in the end. Russell Westbrook was a bright spot in the setback with 33 points, 13 assists and nine boards.
New Orleans has lost three straight, most recently falling to Houston, Portland and Cleveland. Jrue Holiday led the way in the 107-102 setback to the Cavs with 25 points.
For the most part the Thunder have struggled for bettors this year, however note that they’re 4-1 ATS in their last five against good offensive teams which average 105-plus points per contest, while the Pelicans are just 17-20 ATS in front of the home town crowd this season and just 2-5 ATS their last seven when playing with one or less day rest.
I look for these trends to continue on Sunday night. Consider OKC in this one.
Good luck…Larry

Bucks vs. Nuggets
Bucks+4
The NBA comp Play is on the Bucks plus the points at 8:05 eastern. The Bucks have home loss revenge and have covered 4 of 5 on Sundays and 4 of 5 after allowing 100 or more. The Nuggets have failed to cover 10 of 12 vs a team that scored 100 or more and they are 1-6 ats as a home favorite after scoring 120 or more on the road. Looking at the database home favorites have not covered going back to 1995 if they scored and allowed 120 or more in their last game and the opponent also scored 120 or more. With the dog having covered 5 of 7 in the series we will back the Bucks. On Easter Sunday the SouthEast Division Game of the year from a Perfect system is up along with a Powerful NHL Play. . For the NBA Comp Play. Take the points with Milwaukee. RV- GC Sports

White Sox vs. Royals
White Sox+110
I'm backing the White Sox with Lopez over Hammel. Jason Hammel is one of those pitchers that can handle National League lineups, but gets clobbered when he joins the junior circuit and last year was no exception when he finished 8-13 with a 5.29 ERA following some decent seasons with the Cubs. Also, Hammel was 0-3 with a 6.65 ERA in April when opposing hitters batted .319 against him. He didn't improve much the rest of the year and the White Sox pounded him with 12 runs on 18 hits in just 6 2/3 innings. Chicago came back from a 3-1 deficit to win Saturday's game after pummeling the Royals 14-7 on Opening Day. Kansas City is a slight favorite in this matchup with Reynaldo Lopez on the mound for the White Sox, but Lopez held his own versus the Royals in 2017 allowing seven earned runs in 18 1/3 innings with a 2-0 record. Salvador Perez is on the disabled list, and that is a big loss for the Royals and Chicago now has won five of the last six meetings dating to last season. I'm backing the White Sox on Sunday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Pirates vs. Tigers
Tigers-105
After the Pirates took Friday's opener, yesterday's game got postponed. The Tigers should have the advantage in Game 1 of today's double-header. Fulmer tossed seven shutout innings in his final spring start. With that stellar effort, he'd close the campaign with an excellent 2.12 ERA and 0.82 WHIP. He struck out 15 and walked only two. Williams, on the other hand, was 0-3 with a 5.87 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in five spring outings. Consider the Tigers, listing Fulmer, in the opener.

White Sox+109
I like the Chicago White Sox to beat the Kansas City Royals for a third straight time on Sunday to complete the sweep of this series.
KC hands the ball to Jason Hammel who's coming off a rough year after going 8-13 with a 5.29 ERA in 32 starts in 2017. He's 2-4 with a 5.32 ERA in previous meetings with the White Sox and gave up 12 earned runs in just 6 1/3 frames against them last season.
Reynaldo Lopez will take the ball for Chicago. He finished last year 3-3 with a 4.72 ERA in eight starts. The hard-throwing 24-year-old is undefeated against the Royals posting a 2-0 record with a 3.44 ERA in three starts while covering a total of 18 1/3 innings.
The White Sox have outscored KC 18-10 through the first two games.

Free Pick on Royals/White Sox UNDER
I'm recommending a play on the UNDER in Sunday's MLB action that has the Royals hosting the White Sox. After exploding for 21 runs on Opening Day, these two AL Central rivals combined for just 7 in Chicago's 4-3 win on Saturday. That's a lot more of what we would expect to see from these two bottom feeders in the American League.
I think we could see even more of a struggle offensively in the series finale. KC will send out veteran Jason Hammel, who is coming off a disappointing first season with the Royals. Prior to last year's down year, Hammels had won at least 10 games and posted an ERA under 4.00 in 3 straight seasons.
The White Sox will counter with one of their promising young prospects in Reynaldo Lopez, who really impressed in his 2nd half stint with the team last year. Lopez certainly enjoyed facing the Royals, as he was 2-0 with a 3.44 ERA in 3 starts. Keep in mind this is no where close to the same caliber of offense for KC after losing the likes of Hosmer and Cain, plus Perez has started the year on the DL. Take the UNDER!
