Hearts without 9 key players (Ian Black, Jose Goncalves, Andrew Driver, Ruben Palazuelos, Scott Robinson, Craig Thomson, Johnny Stewart, Jamie MacDonald and Dawid Kucharski)
On Sunday the Bonus Play is on Wake Forest. Game 820 at 6:00 eastern. The Deacons have better numbers here in this one. They are 19-5 after allowing 60 or less, 6-2 after scoring 60 or less and have won 12 of 15 times at home since 1997 when the total is 135 to 140. In home games vs Clemson they have won the last 10 times. The Clemson Tigers are 1-5 straight up and ats as an underdog this year and 4-10 ats as a road dog of 3 or less the past 14 years. Look for Wake Forest to win this one. On Sunday I have a 5* 22-0 Colonial Tourney plya and a big 5* 100% NBA System side. I expect both these plays to win, and end the week with the cash. For the Bonus Play take Wake Forest. BOL GC
