Chip Chirimbes Sports Handicapper Review & Free Picks

LA Clippers at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Clippers over Hawks- The Hawks have been flying high winning their last four and seven of their last 10 games as they ready themselves for the fifth and final game on this home stand. Los Angeles will be playing their first of six straight road games on their Eastern Conference swing through the league.  The Clippers with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George on the court together (which is rare) the Clippers have won a season high four straight. Clippers are 5-2 ATS in last seven trips to Atlanta and the Hawks are 6-18 ATS after a ATS win. Take CLIPPERS!

Washington at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans has lost six straight as injuries to their two top players are taking its toll. Finally after missing 29 games forward Brandon Ingram has return to the line up but showed rust shooting just four of 18 in his return Wednesday while Zion Williamson has been in and out his entire career. The Wizards have won their last four and the past two without Kristaps Porzingis. Not for nunthin’ but Pels are 1-12 ATS on Saturdays. Take WASHINGTON!

Denver at Philadelphia 3:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid is looking forward to playing against Denver’s two-time reining MVP Nikola Jokic who edged out Embiid twice but also captured the starting role in the upcoming All-Start game. That has lit a fire under the 76ers center and his play has been of MVP caliber as he feels slighted an dis highly motivated. The Nuggets just dropped a 107-99 battle with the bucks on Wednesday without Jokic and he is probably today. But, the price of this game is a bit shy and the Nuggets are the play. Take DENVER!

NC State at Wake Forest 1:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Demon Deacons- Both of these clubs are stellar when hosting  as NC State is 11-1 SU at home and the Demon Deacons are 10-1 with their lone loss coming at the hands of No. 10 Virginia still going 7-4 ATS. The Wolfpack is just 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games and Wake Forest who lost last time out to Notre Dame and they are 9-4 ATS after a  straight-up loss. Deacons won both meetings last year and the Wolfs get revenge. Take NC STATE!  

Florida at Kansas State  6:00 ET

Gators (+) over Wildcats- This is one of those SEC/Big-12 Challenge contests where it really doesn’t effect the standing in conference play for either side. Considering that No. 5 Kansas State has already accomplished this season and I believe this line is a bit short as the Gators are a mid-land 12-8. Florida will need a big push in the rest of the season to qualify for the Big Dance and a win here would go a long way. Wildcats are 11-0 SU and 8-3 ATS at home but the Gators are 5-0 ATS away from the Swamp. Take FLORIDA!

Texas at Tennessee 6:00 ET

Volunteers (-) over Longhorns- Great match-up from the Big-12/SEC Challenge between a pair of Top-10 ranked teams  when No. 4 Tennessee host No.10 Texas. The Longhorns have won a pair after a loss to Iowa State and are off a sweep of rival Oklahoma State. The Volunteers have won eight of nine and are playing their best ball defeating Georgia 70-41 holding the Bulldogs to their lowest scoring contest of thew season. The Vols have won 11 of its 17 games by at least 20 points and now it’s the Longhorns turn. Take TENNESSEE!

Arkansas at Baylor 4:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Bears-  There was a time this season that Arkansas was a ranked team but a four-game SEC losing streak dropped them put of the limelight. Baylor had their bounce back has them winning their last five including a 75-69 win over No. 5 Kansas on Monday. The Bears are just 3-7-1 ATS after a ATS win. The Razorbacks defeated LSU 60-40 on Tuesday and they are  12-2-2 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing less than 50 points in their previous game.  Take ARKANSAS!

Alabama at Oklahoma 2:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Crimson Tide- One team wins big and they other team play close but have been blow out at times. Alabama has a nine game winning streak and has won by double-digits in all but one and that was last time out in a 66-63 victory over Megabucks winner Mississippi State and still averaged over 20-points margins. The Sooners are 6-0 ATS in the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and the Tide is 4-2 straight up in the Challenge and last season OU lost to then No. 1 Auburn. This time they are the money. Take OKLAHOMA!

Illinois at Wisconsin 3:00 ET

Badgers (+) over Illini- On my goodness a dream come true...well, at least the way this one sets up. Wisconsin who I have said is an impostor (they can’t shoot)  the pollsters had them at No. 14 but know they aren’t that good and promptly has lost five of six. Illinois as I also said was over-rated at the season’s start but have been playing better ball of late winning five of six including a 79-69 home Power Play win (-7.5) over these Badgers. Wisconsin had won 15 in-a-row in this series but have now dropped the last five straight-up. Badgers are 0-9 ATS in their last nine overall and haven’t cover a points spread since an OT win at Ohio State on Dec. 11. They win here! Take revenge...WISCONSIN!
