Sports Handicapper Ray Monohan's Picks & Predictions

Miami -2.5

We're on the Hurricanes, laying the points here.

Duke comes in off an emotional win over North Carolina last time out. The quick turnaround to now have to go into Miami and take on a very physical team is not going to be easy. The Hurricanes are undefeated at home this season, while Duke is just 2-4 on the road. 

Combine that with Miami going 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games and there is a lot of value here with the Canes. Duke has struggled to cover the number themselves, coming in just 1-6 ATS in their last 7.

Some trends to note. Blue Devils are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Blue Devils are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games following a straight up win.

Back Miami.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* CBB ATS Play

Clippers vs. Nets Under 

We're on the Under here Monday.

Brooklyn just shipped Kyrie Irving away as this team is just in so much turmoil. They'll be a bit shorthanded come Monday with the pieces moving around. 

The Clippers on the other hand have started to figure themselves out. They're playing much better overall on the defensive side of things, as they've been able to close out on shooters and control the paint. Look for them to turn up the pressure even more here, knowing the Nets have a lot of chemistry issues right now.

Some trends to note. Under is 4-1 in Clippers last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. Under is 4-1 in Nets last 5 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.

Back the Under.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 9* NBA O/U Play

Islanders ML

Prior to the All-Star break, the biggest problem for the Islanders was to generate scoring. They've seemed to have found a solution in the form of former Vancouver Canucks Captain Bo Horvat and his 31 goals on the season. New York has averaged less than 2.75 against this season thanks to the strong play of goaltender Ilya Sorokin. Sorokin has a top five GAA and is tied for the best save percentage in the league. Their defence has also allowed their penalty kill to creep up into the top five in the league in terms of success rate.

The Flyers enter with just a single win over their last four outings and are averaging less than 3.00 goals scored while giving up 3.16 goals against on the year.

Some trends to note, both teams have split the previous two meetings so far this year. The Islanders enter on a two game win streak where they outscored the opposition 4-1.

Play on the Islanders Money Line -125

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Monday 7* NHL ML PLAY

Lightning ML

The Lightning enter this contest on a three-game win streak that saw them pick up victories against the likes of the Kings, the Bruins and the Wild prior to the All-Star break. Tampa Bay allowed just two goals against in each of those wins and covered the puck line twice. On the season, they've averaged over 3.50 goals per game while allowing fewer than 3.00 goals against. On special teams, they have a power play that ranks in the top three in terms of success rate.

Coming out of the All-Star break, the Panthers picked up just a single win in their four most recent tries. They've struggled to keep the puck out of the net this season, averaging 3.50 goals against.

Some trends to note, the Lighting picked up both victories in their two games against Florida this year, outscoring them 7-3.

Play on the Lightning Money Line -125

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
