Ricky's 7* play on DET.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- Detroit is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games when playing at home against Philadelphia.

- Philadelphia are 1-3 in their last 4 games as the underdog.

- Detroit won their last meeting vs Philadelphia.

Verdict: The value is on the home favorite.

For my best free pick on the board here for Thursday I am looking at NHL action and the Detroit Red Wings hosting the Philadelphia Flyers. Now a lot of expects had the Flyers losing in New Jersey the other night to the Devils this team did not. I think we have a case of two teams going in opposite directions. Flyers are 7-3 last 10 the Redwings 3-7 last 10. This Detroit team beat the Flyers in their arena just last week so a chance at some revenge and maybe a chance also to get a nail in this Red Wings coffin. Flyers come in 3 points ahead of the Red Wings look for them to add some more points here on Thursday.

***DO NOT MISS MY TITANIUM BEST BET IN THE NBA I AM 129-78 62.3% OVER THE LAST 207***

My selection is on Philadelphia over Detroit at 7:05 pm et on Thursday.

The Flyers are as hot as any team in the league right now, clicking at the right time as they look to secure a playoff spot in the crowded Eastern Conference. Not only have their put themselves in playoff position but they currently sit in third place in the Metropolitan Division, which would likely set up a first round matchup against the in-state rival Penguins. I think that's certainly the matchup they would want rather than facing one of the top two seeds. Philadelphia heads to Detroit on Thursday and it figure to be catching the reeling Red Wings at the right time. Detroit is still in the playoff hunt but pretty much in desperation mode on the heels of three straight losses and a miserable 2-7 over its last nine contests. The Wings did skate to a 4-2 win in Philadelphia one week ago tonight but since then, the Flyers have gone on a tear, winning three games in a row while allowing a grand total of just three goals. Philadelphia owns an impressive 22-17-4 record away from home this season, outscoring opponents by 0.1 goals on average. Take Philadelphia (8*).

1 Dimer on Heat +3½ -102

1* MLB - Dbacks/Mets FREE PICK on Diamondbacks +150

1* Free Pick on Heat +4½

Miami is getting too many points in a game they are fully capable of winning outright.
This is a classic late-season spot where the Heat culture takes over.

The Heat defense is locked in right now.
They rank top-five in defensive efficiency over their last ten games.

Toronto relies heavily on transition points to fuel their offense.
Miami is one of the best teams in the league at getting back and forcing teams into the half-court.

The Raptors struggle when the game slows down.
Their effective field goal percentage ranks near the bottom of the league in set-offense situations.

Miami plays at one of the slowest tempos in the NBA.
Fewer possessions mean every point is more valuable.

Covering a 4.5-point spread is a tall task when a game is played in the 90s.
The Heat are also the more motivated team tonight.

They are fighting to stay out of the Play-In tournament and need every win they can get.
Erik Spoelstra has a massive coaching advantage in these high-pressure scenarios.

He will find the mismatch and use it all night long.
Toronto is just 2-6 against the spread in their last eight games as a home favorite.

The Heat are 5-1 against the spread in their last six road games.
Miami's veteran leadership keeps them calm in loud arenas.

Expect a physical, low-scoring battle that comes down to the final minute.
I am grabbing the points with the tougher team.

I like the Heat +4.5.

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Washington Wizards +6.5

The Washington Wizards have already secured one of the worst three records in the NBA.  They bottom three teams all have equal lottery odds to get the top pick, so they have no incentive to lose anymore.  The Bulls do have incentive to lose to increase their lottery odds as they have a 0.5-game lead on the Bucks.  The Wizards just lost to the Bulls 129-98 two days ago, and they will be the more motivated team in the rematch today, especially since they have no incentive to tank.  I think they will play some of their better players in this game and in their final three games knowing they have their max lottery odds locked up.  Give me the Wizards.

1* Free Pick on Knicks -3½ -115

1* Free Play on Knicks -3½ -115

This is the fourth meeting of the season between Winnipeg and St. Louis. All three of the previous games have been low-scoring, tight-checking matchups. The scores reflect that - 1-0 Blues, 3-1 Jets and 3-2 Jets.

I expect that pattern to continue as this is a huge game for both team's wild-card playoff chances. The Blues' playoff hopes are on the brink. The Jets can't afford to take a loss either.

The Jets have held their last eight opponents to an average of 2.1 goals a game. The Blues rank 29th in scoring, are 31st in shots on goal and 28th on the power play.

St. Louis is giving up an average of two goals a game in regulation during its past four games. Winnipeg's offense ranks in the bottom 10 in goals, shots on net and on the power play.

Nashville and Utah meet and the Preds are worth a move in this spot. This is a let down spot for Utah, who has won 4 straight and just took down Edmonton in OT. The Preds are a scrappy team and they’re doing everything they can right now to hold onto this last playoff spot in the West. This is a game where they’ll lean on their slow pace and really knock Utah out of rhythm. Back the Preds. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

Dave's Thursday Free Play:

1* on Lakers/Warriors UNDER 225.5

The Key: The Lakers have a lot on the line in these final 3 games trying to secure the best seed possible in a battle with the Nuggets and Rockets.  They will be playing hard defensively, but the problem is they are missing their 2 best scorers in Doncic and Reaves, and their offense has been very ugly without these two.  They scored 96 points against the Thunder and 87 against the Thunder in 2 games since losing those two.  The Warriors are a solid defensive team, but they are also struggling offensively with all the guys they are missing due to injury, plus sitting guys out getting ready for the play-in.  They are 21st in offensive rating in their last 5 games.  Take the UNDER.

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. German Bundesliga Take Bayern Munich -1.5 GL over St. Pauli (12:30 p.m. EST, Saturday April 11) Bayern Munich is one of the best offensive sides in the world and if they are on their game they can win by multiple goals at home or on the road. These sides haven’t played many times but Bayern one of two lifetime meetings here 8-1. We don’t think this will be that lopsided of a contest, but this one is definitely a mismatch. Bayern Munich is the top road side in the Bundesliga as they haven’t lost all season with 11 wins, 3 draws and a +30 goal differential in 14 matches. So, they are winning their road matches by an average of more than two goals per match. St. Pauli is in the bottom four for home results this season and have a -6 goal differential here. Bayern Munich doesn’t take it easy on bad sides, and they should unleash their full arsenal here. The most excitement St. Pauli might get is autographs from the Munich players before the match! Get on this line easy as Bayern Munich is a very public side and will be bet up during the week.
