Milwaukee -13.5

This is a revenge spot here for the Bucks.

Milwaukee went into Cleveland last week and lost outright as a 7 point favorite. Here, the Bucks are back to full health and should be able to really put their foot on the gas in this one. 

While Cleveland has played better as of late, this is a different team away from home. 

Expect Milwaukee to push the issue and attack early in the shot clock, forcing Cleveland back on their heels all night long.

Some trends to note. Bucks are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games. Bucks are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 vs. NBA Central.

The Bucks are dominant at home. Look for a lopsided affair here.

Back Milwaukee.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 9* NBA ATS Play

Virginia Tech -8.5

The Hokies are worth a move here on Sunday. 

Virginia Tech opened a huge lead on St. Louis in the Round of 64 and now will look as they held them to just 18 first half points. 

Virginia Tech prides themselves on the defensive end, really forcing opponents into some tough shots. They also are one of the best at turning defense into offense, as they love to get out in transition when they see opportunities. 

Expect all that to factor in here, as they should be able to slow down this Liberty team, that has already been knocked around by Virginia Tech in an exhibition game earlier this season.

Some trends to note. Hokies are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Hokies are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Sunday games.

Back Virginia Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 7* CBB ATS Play

Houston -6

The Cougars are a nice move on Sunday. 

Houston showcased a lot in their win over Georgia State as they not only are one of the best defensive teams, but they also can really turn things up offensively.

This is a team that loves to force opponents to use the entire 30 seconds on the shot clock and force up a tough shot. That does not bode well for the Buckeyes who love to play slow, which will in turn play right into the hands of this Cougars defense.

Expect plenty of empty possessions for the Bucks and for Houston to get out and run here.

Some trends to note. Cougars are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 Sunday games. Cougars are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games.

Back Houston.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.

Sunday 8* CBB ATS Play

Texas Tech -4

The Red Raiders have value laying the points here.

Buffalo has been a popular underdog pick as they ran through the MAC and handled business in their opening round game against the Sun Devils.

However, this is a spot where the Red Raiders defense is going to be key. Texas Tech gives up 59.2 points per game, which is one of the best marks in the nation. Look for them to really clamp down here on the defensive side of the ball, also while slowing things down offensively. 

If they can keep this game at their pace, they're going to have tremendous success in this one.

Some trends to note. Red Raiders are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Red Raiders are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games overall.

Back Texas Tech.

Good Luck, Razor Ray.
