Cajun Sports NBA 2* Complimentary Selection- Friday
Date/Time: Friday March 27 / 7:05PM EST
Game: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Toronto Raptors
Graded Selection: 2* Oklahoma City Thunder +5.5
Analysis:
Air Canada Center will be the site of tonight’s east meets west battle between the host Toronto Raptors and the visiting Oklahoma City Thunder. Toronto has underachieved this season and has one of the league’s worst records when it comes to covering the spread going 20-38-2 ATS. The Thunder have been just the opposite spending most of the season in the top five in the league when it comes to cashing tickets. The Raptors are currently on a two-game win streak both SU and against the number but that is a negative for their backers as they are 3-16 ATS after winning two of their last three games, 3-14 ATS off 2 or more consecutive home wins and 0-8 ATS after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games this season. These two teams met in Oklahoma City back in December with the Thunder upsetting the Raptors 91 to 83 as a 6-point home underdog. You might be considering the revenge factor here but once again it’s a negative for this Raptors team with them posting a record of 15-27 ATS revenging a loss and 7-17 ATS revenging a road loss. Oklahoma City is 40-29 ATS overall and 36-22 ATS as an underdog this season. The Thunder are coming off a home loss to the LA Lakers on Tuesday 107 to 89 as a 7.5 point home underdog. OKC is 30-19 ATS after 1 or more consecutive losses this season and 15-7 ATS off a home loss. OKC is 3-2 straight up and a perfect 5-0 against the spread versus Toronto the last three years including 2-0 ATS north of the border. Take the points with the visitor as they take the host right down to the wire and possibly get the straight up win.

Arizona (+9) vs. LOUISVILLE - at Indianapolis, IN
By Sports Gambling Hotline, Featured Handicapper
Thursday blowout winner on UConn over Purdue to make it 28-22-2 our last 52 comp play releases.
No such luck tonight in backing Louisville to blow out Arizona, as we feel the linesmakers have once again inflated the price on the tournaments overall number one seed.
No doubt Rick Pitino's team should have the moxy to get by Arizona, but with the Cardinals failing against both Morehead State, and Siena, we don't see them covering this big number against an Arizona team that has a few future NBA players on their roster.
Arizona's Russ Pennell is familiar with Rick Pitino, as he used to be an assistant at Ole Miss, and did face Kentucky when Pitino was coaching in Lexington. That familiarity should definitely help in keeping the Cardinals in check, and the fact Louisville is an under 65% free-throw shooting team should give the Wildcats a fighting chance to stay inside of the large number they are getting in this Sweet Sixteen matchup.
The Wildcats have looked very solid to us in disposing of a decent Utah team, and a dangerous Cleveland State team, both wins coming by double-digits!
We give Arizona a fighting chance in this one to stay close against the mighty 'Ville.
Play on the 'Cats.

NBA
Oklahoma City (+5.5 -110)
The Thunder usually can be counted on for a good effort when on the road where they have covered 63 percent of the time this season.
Oklahoma City has covered the number in five of its past six road matchups. The Thunder should be primed for a strong effort having been idle since Tuesday.
Toronto is off home wins versus the Clippers and Bucks. The last time Toronto won three games in a row was the beginning of the season.
Chris Bosh has personal distractions and point guard Jose Calderon is dealing with a sore hamstring and a dislocated right ring finger.
I'm 39-20 (66 percent) on my last 59 NBA selections.
