Mike Bets #386

Happy Tuesday. We’re in a rut here at Mike Bets. Yesterday was a 1-6 day. We’re dropping units real quick. It’s time for all hands on deck. It’s time to reset. It’s time to start winning again. Tonight is the night. Let’s ride.

TODAY’S PLAYS

NBA record: 38-37-1 ATS, 7-12 ML, 2-4 O/U, 0-1 parlay, 0-1 props, -11.88 units

• Mavs ML (+115)

The Mavs have lost four in a row and are playing some pretty poor basketball, but that streak needs to end at some point. With a Warriors team that’s 2-9 on the road coming to town, I like that moment to come now. Dallas has still been pretty good this year despite the underwhelming record, and I’ll take them at plus odds tonight.

• Clippers ML (+148)

The Blazers have lost five of six, and the underlying numbers are slowly falling apart. At +150(ish), I like LA here. They’re outscoring opponents by about half a point more per 100 possessions so far this year.

CBB record: 15-16 ATS, 0-2 ML, 2-1 O/U, 0-0 parlay, -3.7 units

• Maryland -12.5

Arkansas beat Louisville by 26. Texas Tech beat Louisville by 32. Cincinnati beat Louisville by 19. Maryland will cover.

• Penn State ML (+110)

Clemson hasn’t looked spectacular so far, and I like Penn State to keep their good start going with a nice win here.

• Baylor -5.5

This is a small enough line. I like Baylor to cover it.

• Wake Forest +6

Wisconsin is the rightful favorite and should win. I like Wake to cover though. Six isn’t usually a lot of points, but it is for Wisconsin.

• Michigan ML (+155)

Go Blue.
