NHL | Flames vs Sabres
Play on: Sabres -113 at pinnacle
The Flames are on tired legs and in a letdown spot after beating the Toronto Maple Leafs last night in a hard fought physical affair. I now expect a up trending Buffalo team to take advantage of the visiting Flames.
Flames are 5-15 in their last 20 after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game.Flames are 2-6 in their last 8 games following a win.Flames are 1-4 in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest.Flames are 1-9 in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.Flames are 0-5 in their last 5 when their opponent allows 5 goals or more in their previous game.
Home team is 20-6-1 in the last 27 meetings.Flames are 2-11 in the last 13 meetings in Buffalo.
Play on the Buffalo Sabres to win on the moneyline

NBA | Kings vs Magic
Play on: Magic -4 -117 at betonline
My free play is on the Orl Magic at 7:05 ET.
The Sacramento Kings have won three in a row after opening a four-game road trip with a 123-113 triumph at the Miami Heat on Monday. The 4-3 Kings are above .500 after seven games for just the second time in 12 seasons, the other time being a 5-2 start in 2014-15. Sacramento is over .500 for the first time since Oct. 29, 2016. The Kings will seek a fourth consecutive victory when it visits the struggling Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Orlando has dropped back-to-back games and has lost four of its last five contests to come in 2-4. The Magic own a pair of three-point wins but three of their four losses have been by double digits
The Kings held a 68-38 edge in points in the paint against the Heat, while also possessing an 18-8 margin in fast-break points. Center Willie Cauley-Stein (17.9 & 8.7) had another big game with 26 points and 13 rebounds, giving him three consecutive double-doubles. Cauley-Stein was 11-of-17 shooting to raise his percentage to 58.1 and he has scored in double digits in all seven games. Shooting guard Buddy Hield has topped the 20-point mark in each game of the winning streak and is tied with PG
De'Aaron Fox with a team-high 18.0 PPG average (Fox leads the Kings with 7.1 APG).
Orlando took a franchise-record 43, three-point shots in Saturday's 113-91 road loss to the Milwaukee Bucks but managed to make just 10. The Magic are shooting just 31.6 percent behind the arc (ranks 27th in the league). Orlando has dropped back-to-back games behind a suspect defense that has allowed 120.5 points in the two losses. "We're getting crushed -- two games in a row, here -- by the good (but not great) players," Orlando coach Steve Clifford told reporters. "I'm not saying that it's easy, but if we're not going to be able to guard the good players, then we're not going to be able to play defense."
At the moment, the Kings clearly look like the better team but let's not be too quick to 'crown the Kings!' After all, the Kings entered this season 65-140 (.317) the last five season on the road and I'm not about to make too much over the team's better-than-expected seven-game start. Sacramento has won three straight from Orlando but a win on Tuesday would mark its longest winning streak in the all-time series. Take Orlando.
Good luck...Larry

Tuesday's comp play is the Hawks plus the points in Cleveland as they take on the winless Cavaliers.
After playing Philadelphia even in the first half last night, the young Hawks let things slip away versus the 76ers, as they wound up losing by 21-points in the City of Brotherly Love. Back at it tonight, but I expect with a better result, as Atlanta will face a Cleveland team that is a shell of its former self with no LeBron James there to rely on.
Ty Lue was let go over the weekend, and Cleveland is 0-6 which does include a home loss to the very same Hawks they will be facing tonight. On October 21st, Atlanta tuned up Cleveland, 133-111 as the +8 point underdog.
What has changed since that meeting 9 days ago? Well, for one, Kevin Love is now sidelined indefinitely with a foot injury. That won't make matters easier for the dismantled Cavs.
Atlanta has covered each of their last 5 visits to Cleveland, 4 of the covers when King James was on the roster.
No reason to think they won't at least cover again tonight. Maybe even win the game outright.

Play on: Cavs -4½ -105 at Bovada
10* FREE NBA PICK (Cavs -4.5)
I'll take my chances here with the Cavs at home against the Hawks. This line is going to not make a whole lot of sense to a lot of people. Cleveland hasn't won a game, are going to be without Kevin Love and already lost by 22 points at home to the Hawks earlier this season. I'm counting on the Cavs that will be playing to give it everything they have to get that first win of the season and there's no better team for them to beat than the Hawks. On top of that, this is a good spot to fade Atlanta, who played last night in Philadelphia and will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. Give me the Cavs -4.5!

SIM grading and Recommended Strategy
5 stars on a 3 to 10-star grading scale.
Place a 5-star wager on the 76ers which the market has them price as 5-point road dogs.
SIM Projections and Results
Projection summary calls for the 76ers to shoot 43% or better from the field and have a minimum rebounding edge of 10 boards and have the better assist-to-turnover ratio. As road dogs and hitting 42% or better from the field the 76ers are a solid 38-23-3 ATS for 62.3% winners since 2015. Adding in the 10-board rebounding edge and the 76ers are 7-1 SUATS covering by an average of 12.4 PPG. When the 76ers as a road dog have had the netter assist-to-turnover ratio and a minimum of 10 board advantage, they have gone 6-0 SUATS covering by an average of 14 PPG.
Take the 76ers tonight and expect the upset!

NBA | Pistons vs Celtics
Play on: UNDER 209½ -101
Ross Benjamin has gone a superb 11-3 (79%) L14 with his NBA 10* Top Play totals. Ross has released an NBA 10* Top Play total on Tuesday’s Washington/Memphis (8:05 ET). This pick is backed 27-8 (77.1%) NBA totals betting angle which has been successful throughout the past 23 seasons. Show an urgency to win by purchasing this pick immediately!
Detroit @ Boston 7:35 ET
Game# 507-508
Play On: Under 209.5
Boston is coming off Saturday’s 109-89 win at Detroit in their last outing. The Celtics have now allowed 95 points or fewer in each of their last 3 games. Boston has also gone under in 4 straight games and there was a combined average of 195.3 points scored per contest.
Detroit’s previous game was also that Saturday home contest against Boston. Detroit has allowed 103 points or more in all 5 of their games this season. Since the beginning of last season, the Pistons are 14-3 under in road games when there’s a total of 200.0 to 209.5.
Any home team (Boston) with a total of 200.0 to 209.5 that allowed 90 points or fewer in their previous game, and they’re facing an opponent (Detroit) which has allowed 100 points or more during each of its last 5 contests, resulted in those games going 30-7 under the total throughout the past 5 seasons. Bet on this game to go under the total for my Tuesday 10/30 free pick.

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
**6-0 FREE PICK RUN ~ 18-7 SINCE SEPTEMBER 1**
Scoring is way up in the NBA this season, but I think we'll see a defensive battle when the Boston Celtics host Detroit Pistons Tuesday night.
The Celtics have been giving up just 96.3 ppg on the season and five of their six games have gone under the total. They limited Detroit to 37.1 percent shooting from the field in a 109-89 triumph at Detroit on Saturday and under is 7-2-1 in Pistons last 10 games following a double-digit loss at home.
Under is 6-0 in Celtics last six home games.
Free pick on UNDER.
