DMack's NBA Power Pack winner is on the Houston Rockets 

The Cavs are New York Knick bad at 5-18, losing seven straight, the L5 by 22-47-6-33-9. Cleveland is rarely competitive and already looking to dump the few pieces it has like Kevin Love. Houston has struggled to an uneven 4-5 run in L9 but finds the perfect team to get back on track against here. The Rockets are 5-0 (4-1 ATS) in L5 visits to the Quick and it's hard to not put them on at least 130+ here. Houston rolls. 

DMack's NBA Power Pack winner is on the LA Clippers 

Kawhi's return to the North. The Clipper are just 5-6 on the road but take care of business and are 11-2 in their L13 games. Paul George is completely integrated into the program and they catch the Raptors in a bit of a funk, just 1-3 SU L4. Expect one the better played games to this point in the year with both teams dead serious about winning. In the end, Clippers find a way to win this by 6-8 points. 

DMack's NBA Power Pack winner is on the Boston Celtics

The Celtics have won and covered four straight, started as a small dog at the opener and is now a small favorite and rightfully so. Boston has won 7 straight against the Pacers (6-1) and while Indy is 8-3 L11, the eye test says this is a very ordinary team that is trading water until the return of Victor Oladipo after the 1st of the year. Boston is good and deep and wears Indy down late to win by 8-10. 

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Colorado Avalanche

The Flyers are playoff team out of the East but make no mistake, their current hot 7-2-1 L10 run is beating up team from the Eastern Conference on their home ice where they are super tough. Philly is on the road here against a team that could very well contend for the Stanley Cup coming out of the much tougher and superior West and the Avs will start catching up on home games after playing a road heavy first 30 games. The McKinnon line is arguably the most dangerous in the league and the Flyers will have problems keeping off the board here. Colo a tad expensive here but the price is reflective of Avs quality. 

DMack Power Pack Best Bet is on the Houston Cougars 

It took Houston a couple of games to get in sync after team was gutted by graduation. The Coogs split four games (BYU, Oregon), but have won three straight and are great on the boards and play tremendous defense. USTA is 2-6 and is one of the worst shooting teams in the country. That means one and done when you play Houston and the Mavs will struggle to cover 20, never mond just 13 in this one. Houston big. 

DMack Power Pack Best Bet is on the Michigan Wolverines 

The Illini have lost two straight after a 6-1 start. Illinois is an excellent offensive rebounding team that goes and gets better than 42% of its own misses but … the wrong team is favored here. Michigan is 8-1 versus the 17th most difficult schedule in the country and the Wolverines own wins against North Carolina, Iowa State, Creighton, and Gonzaga but did drop first "true" road game in the ACC challenge at NC State. Juwan Howard inherited a team with the shelves full and the Wolverines are 14-2 L16 in the series and figure to be much more focused here. Michigan by 10. 

DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Arizona Wildcats 

Arizona is 9-1 with Gonzaga on deck over the weekend. Ordinarily, might pass as a possible look ahead but the Wildcats are off their first loss of the year to Baylor and Miller will look to het the Cats humming again here. Omaha has lost three straight, 0-3 vs. the top 100 with a 14-point loss to Wichita and a 25 loss to Dayton which tells me that the Mavs are probably not up to staying under the number against a ruthless Arizona here.
