NBA | Pistons vs Nets
Play on: Pistons +2½ -105 at 5Dimes
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Game #701 Wednesday Free Pick Detroit Pistons (+) @ Brooklyn Nets @ 7:35 ET - This is a revenge game for the Nets and the Pistons are in a back to back spot. However, it won't matter. Brooklyn's strength on defense this season has been stopping the 3-ball but that is not what Detroit does. The Pistons pound teams inside with Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond and the Nets simply can not stop this! Also, Detroit is NOT in a good mood! They are fired up off back to back losses to the Celtics and that means there is no doubt that Detroit brings their "A game" for this one. The fact we can get a few points in addition to backing the team that should dominate this one is why you're reading about this right here in this spot. Looks like a great spot for a winner for us. In terms of technical support, the Pistons have won 3 straight games over Brooklyn and also the road team is a perfect 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings between these teams! The Nets are 19-70 SU in games against teams with a winning record! Grab the road dog here! Yes, it is a back to back but the Pistons are hungry and take out their frustration on an over-matched Brooklyn team in this one! Free Pick DETROIT

NBA | Mavs vs Lakers
Play on: UNDER 234½ -105
1* Free Pick on Lakers/Mavs UNDER 234.5
We are seeing a big overreaction here with the total for tonight's NBA action between the Lakers and Mavs. LA has seen the OVER cash in 6 of their 7 games, while Dallas has gone OVER the mark in 5 of their 7. I'm not saying this won't be a high-scoring game, but there's simply too much value here with the UDNER at this price.
Note that the Mavs have only had two totals all season of 225 or more and both of those stayed UNDER the mark. The UNDER is 13-3 in Dallas' last 16 road games after 3 straight games with a combined score of 215 or more.
I also think we are going to get big efforts defensively from both teams. Dallas is desperate for a win after losing 4 straight and the Lakers really need a victory after starting out the season just 2-5.
History is also on our side, as the UNDER is 58-26 (69%) in the last 84 game s where you had two bad teams (25% to 40%) with a total of 220 or more. Take the UNDER!

NBA | Spurs vs Suns
Play on: Spurs -6 -110 at Bovada
#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
**6-1 FREE PICK RUN ~ 18-8 SINCE SEPTEMBER 1**
The Phoenix Suns have lost five straight had failed to cover the spread in four consecutive games before finally losing by "only" seven as a 13.5-point underdog at Oklahoma City. I think they're in for a tough game here when hosting the San Antonio Spurs on Halloween.
The Spurs have won three of their last four but can't be all to excited about their performance in a 113-108 overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks on Monday. San Antonio should have closed out the game earlier but allowed Dallas to battle back in the second half.
I expect Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to have his team ready here for a Suns team which might have to do without star shooting guard Devin Booker for a third straight game.
Spurs are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.
Free pick on San Antonio Spurs.

Big total for Halloween night in this Ball State-Toledo contest, especially when you consider that the Cardinals starting quarterback is officially out, while the Toledo quarterback is questionable.
Still, I say play the Over as these teams tend to both score points and give up points, especially Ball State which has allowed a whopping 94 points or the past 2 weeks.
The Rockets posted 51 points in their win at Western Michigan last week, as the Over moved to 6-2 for the year for Coach Candle's Rockets.
Last year the teams snapped a 4 game series Under streak in Toledo's 58-17 road win and cover.
It was Yogi Berra that once said: "It's deja-vu all over again!"
Well, another 58-17 Toledo win tonight on their home field at the Glass Bowl would not actually be that much of a stretch. You add up those numbers, and that totals 75 points which would be good enough for another Over.
Plenty of tricks and treats this Halloween in Toledo.
Ball State and Toledo Over.
1* BALL STATE-TOLEDO OVER

Comp play for Wednesday on the Jazz to play some sweet money music in Minnesota.
Utah is 4-2 on the season, and believe it or not, ALL 4 of their victories have come away from home where they are a perfect 4-0 straight up. Tonight concludes a 4 game road trip that has seen them cover in games at Houston, New Orleans and Dallas already.
Minnesota just ended a 2 game slide with a win at home over the LeBron James -led Lakers. My guess is the Wolves suffer a letdown after the hype of King James making a stop in the Twin Cities on Monday.
Utah has held the upper-hand of late, taking the last pair of showdowns, and 7 of the last 10 overall. The Jazz is also 4-1 against the spread the last 5 games played at the Target Center.
Cheap price to me based on the facts I just listed.
Play the Jazz.
4* UTAH

Wednesday comp play comes in the NHL as I look for Vancouver to win on their home ice over Chicago.
The Canucks have been a pleasant surprise this year, as they enter play for Wednesday with a 7-6 mark. That includes a 5-2 win over Minnesota on Monday night on their home ice. The Canucks boast the likely rookie-of-the-year in one Elias Pettersson who already has 7 goals this year which is remarkable considering he has missed 6 games with a concussion!
As for the Blackhawks, they are looking to snap a 2-game losing streak, but more importantly, they are looking to snap a 4-game series losing streak to the Canucks.
Not sure Chicago should be the favored team here?
Line value tonight in the lone NHL clash rests with the host.
Take 'em.
Vancouver the play.
3* VANCOUVER
