Bonus Play Friday
The Hawks won as an NBA Bonus Play on Thursday night. Tonight’s play is also a straight power ratings call, and as that’s the basis for the selection, I’ll just post it sans any extraneous analysis. I’ll have an NFL Bonus Play in the Saturday blog, and that will include some reasoning beyond the numbers.
HORNETS at HEAT 8:05 PM
Take: HORNETS +2
My line for this game, based on my numbers, is Hornets -1. So while it’s not by any means an enormous edge, and there really is any such thing for me in the NBA, there’s enough value to make a play on Charlotte.

Air Force vs Fresno State
Bonus Play FRESNO STATE
The Falcons have dropped three straight games outright despite being favored by a combined 43 1/2 points the past three contests. After knocking off Navy earlier and with an improved Army on deck, how can we back the visitor here.
Despite having a lame duck coach most of the season Fresno has posted a 4-3 spread mark. With Tim DeRuyter being fired the team has extra motivation for next year. In a rare home televised appearance we will side with the team who has played the much tougher schedule.

CLE vs CHC
10* "Bonus Play" On UNDER 8 Runs (World Series- Game #3 Indians at Cubs)
The World Series is tied up 1-1 heading into Friday's Game #3, but the best wagering opportunity isn't on who's going to win and take the series lead, but on the UNDER 8 Runs. We play the 3rd game of this series, but this pitching match-up is strong enough to be most teams in MLB's ace vs ace. Chicago starts Hendricks, who's gone "Under" in 12 of 15 games (3-12 Over/Under) this year when facing a team owning a winning record. In his 3 postseason starts, Hendricks has allowed 0, 1 and 2 Earned Runs. He squares off against Cleveland's Tomlin, who's coming off back-to-back Playoff victories in which he allowed 1 and 2 Earned Runs. Toss in the Tribe's bull pen of Miller and Allen and don't expect much scoring from either team on a very cold night in Chicago. With the temperature listed at 60 degrees, there' won't be much "jump" on the ball.

Cavs vs Raptors
5* NBA Free Pick Cleveland Cavaliers -2
The Toronto Raptors opened the season with a 109-91 victory over the Detroit Pistons. They'll face a much tougher test when hosting on the reigning NBA champs the Cleveland Cavaliers Friday night, and my money is on the visitors.
Cleveland came out all guns blazing with a 117-88 demolition of the New York Knicks on Tuesday. Point guard Kyrie Irving scored 29 points and forward LeBron James had 19 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds. This game is a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals, a series the Cavs won 4-2, with their four victories by an average of 28.5 points. It's obviously early in the season, but I think both teams will be well up for this game to set the tone in the conference.
With motivation (or lack of) not a factor, I think this is an easy play on the superior Cavs.
