SEAN MURPHY
NBA | Nov 27, 2017
Mavs vs. Spurs
Spurs-9.5

Monday NBA free play. My selection is on San Antonio minus the points over Dallas at 8:35 pm et on Monday.
I'll lay the points with the Spurs in this mismatch as I simply feel the oddsmakers have set this line too low.
The Mavs are coming off back-to-back victories but that streak ends here. Note that Dallas checks in sporting an ugly 5-15 overall record and has won just twice in eight road tilts so far this season. The Mavs were victorious in their most recent game here in San Antonio last January but won't have the benefit of catching the Spurs napping this time around.
San Antonio got a nice tune-up for this one, cruising to a 20-point rout in Charlotte on Saturday night. The Spurs have won three of their last four games both SU and ATS.
With the Spurs averaging an impressive 106 points per game at home this season, I can't see the Mavs sticking around for four quarters in this one.

Jim Feist's Comp Pick, Monday, November 27, 2017

NBA (715) LOS ANGELES LAKERS VS (716) LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS

Take: UNDER

Reason: Your free play for Monday, November 27, 2017 is in the NBA scheduled contest between the LA Lakers and the LA Clippers. Surprisingly, the Lakers 8-11 have better record than the Clippers do right now at 7-11. The Clips started the season 4-0, since then they are 3-11 though they have won two straight. The Lakers could get Larry Nance Jr back tonight after missing 11 games with a broken hand. PG Lonzo Ball is averaging just 9 ppg this season, but has a team leading 7.1 assists per game. Kyle Kuzma leads the team with 16.8 ppg. The Clippers have done well in this series, covering 13 of the last 17 when the home team. The Clippers have been a good under team, going 5-2 O/U their last seven and 2-10 O/U against a team with a losing record. The last eight meetings in this series have gone UNDER and 10 of the last 12 have gone UNDER. I'm going to take the UNDER here tonigh

NBA | Mavs vs Spurs
Play on: Mavs +10 -107 at 5Dimes

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Dallas Mavericks +10

The Dallas Mavericks are starting to get things figured out. They have gone 3-1 SU & 3-1 ATS in their last four games with their only loss coming to the red-hot Boston Celtics in overtime. They beat Milwaukee 111-79 at home, Memphis 95-94 on the road and Oklahoma City 97-81 at home, pulling off all three upsets as 6-point underdogs. Now they are catching 10 points to the San Antonio Spurs tonight, and it's just too much. The Mavs will want to avenge a 97-91 home loss to the Spurs less than two weeks ago on November 14th. I expect this game to go down to the wire. Give me the Mavericks.

NCAA-B | Yale vs Delaware
Play on: Yale -120 at BMaker

We know the Eli have lost their super guard Mason and will also travel without Brunner. No matter, on a SU basis Yale just may survive against a Delaware unit that has played no one this season despite their 4-2 record. Good Luck.

NBA | Magic vs Pacers
Play on: Pacers -4 -105 at BMaker

10* FREE NBA PICK (Pacers -4)
I'll take my chances here with Indiana laying a short number at home against the struggling Magic. Orlando got off to a surprising 8-4 start to the season, but it's been all downhill since, as the Magic come in having lost 8 straight and are struggling to even be competitive. Last time out they lost by 19 at Philadelphia, who didn't have Ben Simmons and they let the 76ers put up 130.
Indiana had won 5 straight before falling 98-108 at home to the Celtics on Saturday. They did so without one of their best players in Victor Oladipo. At the same time, Boston is playing at a different level than most of the league and with or without Oladipo they likely lose to the Celtics. While Oladipo is listed as questionable to return tonight, I don't think it will make a difference in the outcome, as I see the Pacers rolling here. Orlando is playing with zero confidence and will also be playing their 3rd road game in the last 4 days. It's also their 8th road game in their last 10 overall.
This has also been a great spot to back Indiana, who are 11-2 ATS in their last 13 off a home loss by 10 or more points. Give me the Pacers -4!

NCAA-B | Wisconsin vs Virginia
Play on: Virginia -8½ -107 at 5Dimes

Jack's Free Pick Monday: Virginia -8.5

Like clockwork, the Virginia Cavaliers are undervalued to start the 2017 season. It happens almost every year with Tony Bennett's teams as they simply don't get the respect they deserve from oddsmakers. It has happened once again this season.

Virginia has opened 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS with all six victories coming by 9 points or more. They went on the road and beat VCU 76-67 as 6.5-point favorites, and they dominated their recent tournament with a 68-42 win over Vanderbilt as 6-point favorites and a 70-55 throttling of Rhode Island as 6.5-point favorites.

Now they get to host a rebuilding Wisconsin team that returned just one starter from last season. The Badgers have opened 3-3 with their only three wins coming at home against South Carolina State, Yale and Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They lost their three step up games against Xavier, Baylor and UCLA, and now they face the best team they have yet in Virginia in their first true road game of the season. It's not going to go well for the Badgers.

Wisconsin is 1-8 ATS in November road games over the past three seasons. The Badgers are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven road games. The Cavaliers are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall. The Cavaliers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. Bet Virginia Monday.

NHL | Panthers vs Devils
Play on: UNDER 5½ -106

#NHL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
NHL scoring is up over half a goal per game this season compared to last, but I still think we'll see this matchup between the Florida Panthers and the New Jersey Devils stay under the total.
The Panthers have seen eight of their last nine games go under the total and under is 6-0 in their last six road games. The Devils are coming off a 4-3 OT win at Detroit but their last five home games have gone under the total. Nothing is confirmed as of the posting of this free pick, but I expect to see Cory Schneider in net for New Jersey and he has posted a 2.23 GAA in previous career meetings with Florida.
The Devils edged the Panthers 2-1 on Nov. 11 and under is 3-1-1 in the last five head-to-head meetings.
My free pick is on Under.

Rocketman Sports FREE NBA play Monday 11-27-17
Cleveland @ Philadelphia 7:05 PM EST

The Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Philadelphia to take on the Sixers on Monday night. Cleveland is 12-7 SU overall this year while Philadelphia comes in with an 11-7 SU overall record on the season. Philadelphia is 14-4 ATS overall this year. Philadelphia is 14-3 ATS last 3 years an 5-1 ATS this year when the total is 220 or higher. Philadelphia is 7-1 ATS this year at home. Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS this year after scoring 110 points or more. Philadelphia is 33-11 ATS last 3 years and 6-1 ATS this year when playing against good offensive teams scoring 106 points per game or more. Cleveland is allowing 110.1 points per game overall this year and 107.9 points per game on the road this season. Philadelphia is scoring 109.6 points per game overall this year, 111.2 points per game at home this season and 113.8 points per game their past 5 games overall. Philadelphia is 4-0 ATS last 4 home games vs Cleveland. We'll recommend a small play on Philadelphia tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

NBA | Magic vs Pacers
Play on: Pacers -3½ -115 at BMaker

Maybe this line is to good too be true but lets take the Pacers at this short price. Prior to losing their last game which was to the Celtics they had won 5 straight games.
The Magic here have lost 8 straight games and already have lost to the Pacers on their home court. The Pacers didn't even play that well only shooting 41% for the game. The Magic really struggle on defense as well giving up over 110 points per game.

NHL | Ducks vs Blackhawks
Play on: Ducks +165 at GTBets

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach Free Pick NHL Monday Anaheim Ducks Money Line (+) @ Chicago Blackhawks @ 8:35 ET - The Blackhawks have a huge game on deck at Nashville tomorrow night. The Predators are not only a division rival, they are also the team that eliminated them from the post-season in the 1st round in April via a 4-0 sweep! Needless to say Chicago can't help but be a bit "distracted" here. As for the Ducks there is certainly no distraction. They enter this game off of 3 straight losses but this was preceded by 3 straight wins and Anaheim is fired up about getting back on track. Look for the Ducks to win for the 10th time in 15 tries when they enter a game on a losing streak of 3 games or more. The Blackhawks are 0-2 this season when they had the Predators on deck and Chicago got outscored by a combined margin of 9-4 in those two games. In other words, don't be surprised if we see another upset here tonight! Free Pick on ANAHEIM on the money line. Best of luck, Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach

NCAA-B | Maryland vs Syracuse
Play on: Syracuse -2½ -112 at BMaker

Dave's Monday Free Play:

1* on Syracuse -2.5

The Key: The situation tonight is a great one for the Syracuse Orange and a terrible one for the Maryland Terrapins. Syracuse hasn't played since November 22nd and has has 4 days off to get ready for Maryland. The Terrapins will be playing their 3rd game in 4 days here after playing in a tournament over the weekend, playing both Friday and Saturday. They haven't had enough time off to get ready for Syracuse. The Orange are a tough team to prepare for because of their zone defense. The Orange are 10-1 ATS in home games when playing only their 2nd game in a week over the last 2 seasons. Take Syracuse.

NBA | Mavs vs Spurs
Play on: UNDER 194½ -110

Free Pick on Mavs/Spurs UNDER
I like the value here with the UNDER in Monday's Southwest Division showdown between the Mavericks and Spurs. Neither of these teams like to get up and down the floor. Dallas ranks 24th in the league in pace and San Antonio is dead last at pace. As a result these two offenses are not scoring a ton of points. The Spurs are only averaging 100.9 ppg and just 96.4 ppg over their last 5. Dallas is putting up 98.8 ppg and just 94.2 ppg in division games.
It's no secret the Spurs are a great defensive team. San Antonio is second to only the Celtics giving up just 98.1 ppg. Dallas ranks in the top 15 in points allowed, but have really been playing hard on that side here of late, giving up just 95 ppg over their last 5.
These two teams played a couple weeks ago in Dallas and combined for just 188 points with the Spurs winning 97-91. Not only did that stay well under the mark here, but it also sets up a great situation, as the UNDER is 24-13 in the Mavs last 37 when revenging a same season loss. UNDER is also 27-12 in the Spurs last 39 home games when facing a horrible team like the Mavs who are shooting 43% or worse and allowing teams to shoot 46% or better. Take the UNDER!

NBA | Lakers vs Clippers
Play on: Lakers +4½ -105 at betonline

Solid when it opened at -6, it’s still a good line for Laker backers who as of now get only 4.5. The Lakers have had five days to fix whatever went haywire in that 113-102 loss last week at Sacramento (spoiler alert – it wasn’t the offense), and should be able to right the ship against a Clippers team that has been ravaged by injuries and now is relying on Blake Griffin for most of its offense. Look for the Lakers to push the pace against the Clipper starters, all of who are playing huge minutes out of necessity. A late cover or outright SU win looks promising in basically a neutral court venue.

My free winner is on the Baltimore Ravens over the Houston Texans.

The Texans still show a No. 12 ranking with their offense. That's how good DeShaun Watson was, in that the numbers are still holding up. Problem is, that offense is terrible now, and the Ravens have the sixth-best defense in the league. Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs has six sacks in six career games against Houston, and it wouldn't be surprise me one bit if he has a big game tonight.

The Ravens, who have outscored foes 193-96 in six home Monday night games, lead the NFL with three shutouts. Tonight is one of those nights college basketball will be much better to watch because the better team just may record another shutout.

Baltimore leads the league with 16 interceptions, and rank second behind Jacksonville for the league lead with 23 takeaways.

On the other side of the ball, Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco is 4-2 with seven touchdowns and six interceptions in six regular-season games against Houston.

The Texans, who are 44-80 on the road since joining NFL in 2002, face a Ravens team that is 17-3 at home in the month of November under coach John Harbaugh.

The Ravens are 11-1 in primetime games under Harbaugh, while their nine-game winning streak in primetime is the longest active run in NFL.

5* RAVENS
