1-1 to start the week thanks to some late heroics from Curry! We are on a great 11-4 NBA run which is good to see following a rough patch. NHL is back in full action tonight, NBA slate, and our North Carolina Tarheels are playing.
If you follow me on Twitter, I put out North Carolina to win the National Championship at 13-1 on Saturday. They’ve been good to us this season and I think they have the makings as well as the experience to win it all this year.
As for tonight:

North Carolina ML / Bruins ML (+103) 🥇
Hard to imagine it but we got UNC at +140 dogs a couple weeks ago against Clemson who they beat by 10 on the road. They are home now and Clemson has gone 3-4 since that game while UNC has gone 7-1 since then winning their home games by an average of 23 points per game.
UNC really defended the three ball against Clemson the first time though holding them to 1 for 18. They also outrebounded Clemson by 11 so look for that to be a factor again tonight.
The Bruins 7 of 8 going into the All Star break while the Flames lost 4 of their last 5 with the 1 win being a 1-0 win over the Blackhawks. The break can help teams reset sometimes and other times not so much.
The Flames have struggled on the road this season 10-11-4 while the Bruins have been great at home 16-4-3.
Jeremy Swayman will be in net for the Bruins and he’s 16-3-7 while the Flames will have Jacon Markstrom in net who is just 14-13-2.
A nice little plus money play for two home teams on a Tuesday.

Stars (-155) 🥉
I’ll throw the caution flag out there that 99% of the money is on the Stars in this game but that’s because everyone else is seeing what I see, a great fucking matchup.
The Stars start the second half of the season at 30-13-6 while the Sabres are just 22-23-4. The Sabres are 12-21 against teams with winning records this season as well.
Stars goalie Jake Oettinger should be getting back into top form, he’s gone 5-2 since returning from a month off due to injury mid December to mid January.
Playing on the road hasn’t been a problem for the Stars this season, they’ve gone 14-5-4.
Let’s take a very popular play with 99% of the money on it tonight and see what happens. You all know I’ll cry fix if they lose!

Suns ML / Kevin Durant 20+ Points (-126) 🥈
The Bucks are looking a little weak on this West COast trip going 1-3 on it. Now Lillard and Giannis are listed as questionable for tonight. Lillard has an ankle sprain and Giannis has sore knees from being on them and blowing the game the other night getting outscored 40-13 in the 4th. The Bucks are not at full strength mentally or physically in this game so I like the Suns at home.
The Suns have done some dumb shit at times this season but they are on a 10-3 run and the offense is CLICKING. The Blazers and Jazz both torched the Bucks in recent games so the Suns should do the same.
Durant has hit 20+ points in 35 of his last 40 games, pretty consistent.
