MIKE'S NUGGETS/LAKERS NBA FREE PICK

The Los Angeles Lakers put some pressure on the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of the series, but they still came up short in the 101-99 loss. The Nuggets overcame a 20-point, second-half deficit, and I think it'll be extremely difficult for the Lakers to regroup following that loss.  

The Nuggets failed to cover the spread in the win, but they are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS loss, while the Lakers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following an ATS win. Additionally, the Lakers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 playoff games as an underdog of 0.5-4.5.

Ricky's 1* play on CIN.

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.

- Cincinnati are 5-3-3 in their last 11 home matches.

- Cincinnati are 3-2-1 in their last 6 matches.

- Colorado has conceded 16 goals in their last 10 matches.

Verdict: The Value is on the home favorite.

1*

Thursday NBA Free play. My selection is on Orlando minus the points over Cleveland at 7 pm et on Thursday.

The Magic are down 2-0 in this series but should return home confident knowing they're 29-11 SU (27-13 ATS) on this floor this season. The Cavaliers check in just 16-25 ATS in their last 41 games as a road underdog of six points or less including a 6-7 ATS mark in that situation this season. They're also 0-3 ATS when allowing 90 points or less in consecutive games, as is the case here, over the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Orlando is 28-19 ATS in its last 47 contests as a home favorite including a 19-7 ATS record this season. The Magic are also 4-1 ATS when coming off consecutive games in which they were held to 100 points or less this season. Take Orlando.
