This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS for our CBB Tuesday Enforcer. Xavier remains home and will be out for some revenge tonight. The 2-0 Musketeers have limited their opponents to 39.3 percent shooting from the field and while the challenge goes up tonight, they have what it takes on both ends. In scouting Xavier, multiple Missouri players pointed to their big guards, Quentin Goodin and Dahmir Bishop, and experience, as the Musketeers bring back four starters. Forwards Tyrique Jones and Naji Marshall both average 18.5 ppg. Xavier is 13-3 ATS in its last 16 home games following two consecutive double-digit home wins. Missouri is also 2-0 and its defensive numbers are even more impressive. The unbeaten Tigers have held their first two opponents to 32.2 percent shooting from the floor but the competition goes up in a massive way. This is a rare non-conference road game for the Tigers and going back, they Tigers are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games against teams with a winning home record. Xavier lost at Missouri last season where nothing went right. The Musketeers made 19 shots in that game, turned the ball over 17 times and at one point, trailed by 29 points. They were out-rebounded, out-shot and out-hustled. 10* (756) Xavier Musketeers

This is a play on the BOSTON BRUINS for our NHL Tuesday Breakaway. Boston has cooled off of late after going 11-1-2 to begin the season. The Bruins showed renewed signs of life late against Philadelphia, rallying from 2-0 down with two goals in the third period only to lose in a shootout, their third straight loss. Boston had a five-game winning streak at home snapped with the loss to the Flyers and now sits at 7-0-2 at TD Garden. Boston is 13-3 in its last 16 games after having lost three of its last four games. Florida beat the Rangers on the road Sunday 6-5 in a back-and-forth game that saw six goals scored in the second period alone. The Panthers snapped a two game slide with the win but are still susceptible on the road where they are 4-17 in their last 21 road games after a game where both teams scored three or more goals. Here, we play against underdogs against the money line with a winning percentage between .400 and .499 that are playing their 3rd game in four days, playing a winning team. This situation is 160-68 (70.2 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (20) Boston Bruins

This is a play on the LOS ANGELES LAKERS for our NBA Tuesday Enforcer. Two teams off to their best starts in nearly a decade square off tonight and we are going to be on the public side here in a value play. The Lakers have won seven of their first nine, their best start since 2010-11, although their seven-game winning streak was broken in a 113-104 loss to Toronto on Sunday. Meanwhile, at 6-3, the Suns are off to their best start since the 2009-10 team won eight of its first nine. The reason this line is so low is because of the Anthony Davis shoulder situation. He is listed as probable but it would not be surprising to see him get scratched here considering the Lakers have a game tomorrow as well. Nonetheless, the Lakers are still the better team here with or without Davis and there will be a sense of urgency coming off that loss to the Raptors and there will be no looking past Phoenix based on its early body of work. Here, we play against teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are outscoring their opponents by six or more ppg, after allowing 100 points or more in five straight games. This situation is 24-4 ATS (85.7 percent) since 1996. 10* (569) Los Angeles Lakers

This is a play on the OHIO BOBCATS for our CFB Tuesday Star Attraction. We played against Ohio last week as it lost outright to Miami as a touchdown favorite but the value has shifted to the Bobcats this week as they are only short favorites now despite facing a team that is actually lower vin the power rankings than the RedHawks. There is not much room left for Ohio to make it to the postseason as it has to win two of its last three games and while the last two should be win, nothing can be taken for granted. Both of those games are on the road so this is the final home game of the season for the Bobcats which gives it some extra meaning as well as looking to break their 0-5 ATS record at Peden Stadium. For Western Michigan, it is simple. The Broncos are bowl eligible following a pair of wins at home where they are 6-0 on the season. Conversely, they are 0-4 on the road where they have to play their final two games as the last game against Ball St. was their final home game of the season. Here, we play against teams with a winning percentage between .501 and .600 where the line is +3 to -3 that are coming off a home win against a conference rival. This situation is 34-7 ATS (82.9 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (304) Ohio Bobcats

This is a play on the HAWAII WARRIORS for our CBB Monday Enforcer. This is the second of a back-to-back for both Hawaii and Pacific with this being the third and final game of the Outrigger Resorts Rainbow Classic. Both teams were able to defeat Florida A&M but both lost to South Dakota. Hawaii should be able to make a run at the Big West Conference title this season after finishing fourth last year. The Warriors finished with 18 wins, the most since 2016-17, and they bring back three starters and nine players. They lost to South Dakota, which is expected to contend in the Summit League, as it was a two-point game with just 28 seconds left until the Coyotes pulled away. At the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Pacific brings in nine new players including just one starter. In their game against South Dakota, the Tigers lost by 10 points. This is going to be a long season for them with the new faces and coming off a season where it went 14-18, expectations are low. The Warriors are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games following a straight up loss while the Tigers are 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games following a non-conference game. 10* (746) Hawaii Warriors
