NCAA-B | Villanova vs Providence
Play on: Villanova -135 at PlayMGM

Ricky's 1* play on NOVA.

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.

- Villanova is 13-2 SU in its last 15 games.

- Providence is 1-4 SU in its last 5 games.

- Providence is 1-10 SU in its last 11 games against an opponent in the Big East conference.

Verdict: The value is on the Road favorite.

NCAA-B | Virginia vs Louisville
Play on: Virginia +3½ -110 at PlayMGM

I understand the Louisville love—they're a solid team overall, especially at home in the KFC Yum! Center, where they've shown strong performances this season under their current roster and coaching. The Cardinals have bounced back well from any early conference stumbles and bring energy in front of their crowd, often dictating a faster pace that can wear down opponents.

That said, Virginia has been quietly excellent since their lone hiccup against Virginia Tech earlier. The Cavaliers (14-2, 3-1 ACC) are riding a nice win streak, with recent victories coming by comfortable margins. They're ranked, protect the ball well, dominate the glass, and play that classic controlled, low-turnover style that frustrates high-tempo teams.

The betting market has Louisville as 3.5-point home favorites (with a total around 154.5), which feels a bit generous given Virginia's form and defensive discipline. Public money might be leaning toward the Cardinals due to home-court edge and recent momentum, creating favorable splits on the road side.

In what should be a competitive ACC battle, I like the value on the road dog to cover—and potentially steal the outright win. Virginia's poise and rebounding could keep this close or allow them to pull away late.

Take Virginia +3.5

Let's cash some tickets!

NCAA-B | Central Michigan vs Miami-OH
Play on: Central Michigan +16½ -105 at Bovada

Tuesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Central Michigan plus the points over Miami-Ohio at 7 pm et on Tuesday.

Miami-Ohio remains undefeated on the season following a convincing win at Toledo on Saturday. The Redhawks are obviously in uncharted territory and I think they're laying too many points in this matchup on Tuesday. Central Michigan checks in off three straight ATS victories including an outright 'upset' at home against Kent State on Saturday. Miami-Ohio likes to play at a reasonably fast pace and Central Michigan has been comfortable in that environment as well. Note that while the Redhawks have played incredibly well, they've also faced a much weaker schedule than that of the Chippewas. The door is open for Central Michigan to stay competitive with Miami-Ohio having yielded 28 or more made field goals in five of its last six contests. Take Central Michigan.

NBA | Spurs vs Thunder
Play on: Thunder -7½ -115 at circa

OKC -7.5

The Thunder are worth a free move. Oklahoma City has got back to their winning ways, as they’ve hit 3 in a row and they’re back to playing with consistency on both ends of the floor. This is a matchup where they will put a lot of pressure on the Spurs shooters, while forcing Wemby to have issues in the paint. This is the final game of a 5 game road swing for the Spurs and they’ll have one eye on getting home. Back the Thunder. Ray’s daily FREE plays are meant to be cheap bankroll plays. Money management is everything in this game, and these freebies are designed to keep you moving in the right direction. Tonight’s FREE selection is a strong lean on the THUNDER ATS. The number makes sense, the spot is right, and it’s a play worth taking. You know what to do. Good luck — Razor Ray

NBA | Spurs vs Thunder
Play on: UNDER 229½ -110

Spurs vs Thunder NBA Free Pick

The Angle: The San Antonio Spurs have proven to be the Oklahoma City Thunder's Kryptonite, responsible for three of their reigning champions' seven losses. This can't sit right with the Thunder, and I expect them to lock down on defense completely to acoid another setback. Considering the Spurs' offensive woes in recent games, I think we're in for a low-scoring affair. 

The Bet: UNDER (3%). 

Stellar 75% (18-6) NBA TOTALS RUN dating back to December 09, 2025! For Tuesday, Mike has a solid TOTAL TOP PLAY on Suns/Heat,Nuggets/Pelicans BOOKIE BREAKER, and an NHL 3-pack.

NCAA-B | St. Mary's vs San Francisco
Play on: San Francisco +7½ -110 at Ace

For my best free pick on the board here for Tuesday in the College Basketball I am looking at the Saint Mary’s Gaels and the San Francisco Dons. Saint Marys is red hot winners of 7 straight games but they are taking on a hungry capable Dons team off a win a winners of 7 of the last 10 games getting a ton of points here at home where they are 7-1 SU.  Dons just one cover in the last 5 games so they should be floating under the radar here on Tuesday late night. Look for this game to be tied or the Dons to be up at the half as they should be able to hang on late to give us a cover. 

Play on the San Francisco Dons plus the points rotation #668

Our models suggest that the value is on the Under. The Under is 5-1 in San Francisco last 6 games. The under is 3-1 in St. Mary's last 4 games on the road.
