1* Free Pick on Niagara +8½

Quinnipiac is laying too many points on the road against a team that nearly pulled the upset three weeks ago. These two squads met on February 7, and the Bobcats only managed a one-point victory in a 56-55 nail-biter.

The betting market is overreacting to Quinnipiac's overall record while ignoring their recent form. The Bobcats have lost two straight games heading into tonight and failed to cover the spread in both of those contests.

Niagara is a much tougher out when they are playing at the Gallagher Center. The Purple Eagles have a veteran core that understands how to disrupt the Bobcats' offensive rhythm in a tight, hostile environment.

Quinnipiac relies heavily on the three-pointer, which is a dangerous way to live in a loud road gym. They have struggled with their shooting consistency away from home, hitting just 31% from deep over their last three road trips.

Niagara’s defense is designed to slow the pace and limit transition opportunities for opponents. They held Quinnipiac to a season-low point total in their last meeting and should be able to dictate the tempo again tonight.

In the MAAC, these Friday night matchups are almost always physical grinds that come down to the wire. Getting 8.5 points with a home underdog in a clear revenge spot is way too much value to pass up.

The Bobcats are feeling the pressure of the upcoming conference tournament and look like a team that is starting to run out of steam. Expect Niagara to keep this within two possessions for the full forty minutes.

I like the Niagara +8.5 (-110).

Free Pick on Harvard -4½ -105

My selection is on Merrimack minus the points over Canisius at 7 pm et on Friday.

We'll lay the points in this matchup between two teams with opposite overall records. Merrimack owns the better overall mark and has faced the tougher schedule by most metrics this season. The Warriors are coming off a subpar shooting performance last time out but still scored 88 points in an overtime victory over Iona. Prior to that contest, Merrimack had held 10 straight opponents to 24 or fewer made field goals and I'm confident it can make light work of a struggling Canisius team here. The Golden Griffins will undoubtedly have one eye on Senior Day as their home finale comes up on Sunday against Quinnipiac. Canisius enters this contest having connected on 24 or fewer field goals in seven straight contests. I don't anticipate it being able to keep pace in this one. Take Merrimack (8*).

1* NBA - Cavs/Pistons FREE PICK on Pistons -6 

Cavaliers vs Pistons NBA Free Pick

The Angle(s): The Cleveland Cavaliers are a disappointing 25-35 against the spread on the season, but this is one of few spots they've been profitable in. The Cavs are 6-3 as road underdogs, 4-1 against the spread as road underdogs against rivals from the East. The Detroit Pistons have had a great season, but own a losing record as home favorites and won by just four points when they hosted the Cavs last month. 

The Bet: CAVS (2%).

Our selection is on the Detroit Pistons to cover the spread against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday at 7:10pm ET for a number of reasons. Here are some of the more important ones:

Cleveland will be without Donavan Mitchell and perhaps James Harden again tonight.

The Cavaliers have lost two of their L3 games this season and it's not been too fun to watch them play defense over those games.

They have also gone 0-5 against the spread over their L5 games played against opponents within the Central Division.

Detroit is on fire after it's win against OKC last time out -- winning six of it's L7 games.

The Pistons are 5-0 versus the spread against opponents within the Eastern Conference.

We're on Detroit.

OVER 5.5

Minnesota and Utah have value to the over. The Wild are off a 5 goal performance over the Avs on Thursday night, while Utah fell to that same Avs team 4-2 a few nights ago. Both of these teams have a lot of tempo in them and they aren’t shy about attacking the net. Look for this game to feature a lot of back and forth action, while peppering the opposing net with a lot of shots. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays.

(#563) Denver Nuggets | ATS | . 

Denver completely locked down Boston last time out and I'm expecting another strong defensive performance from them this evening. All of the talk for this game is about the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Although he's last year's MVP and one of the brightest stars in this league, sometimes getting back a player like this can provide too much anticipating and can ultimately back fire. Nothing against Shai, I know how good he is. But, the Nuggets are also one of the best teams in the NBA and they'll be ready for him. I just don't see the Nuggets losing by double digits after watching how they played against the Celtics on Wednesday. Grab the points with possible upset warning. 

Burns' Prediction: 109-104 Nuggets.
