February 9, 2021, NBA & NCAAB Predictions
Welcome to Cash with Flash Best Bets and our February 9, 2021, NBA & NCAAB Predictions!
Glad to see you and I hope that your sports betting endeavors are going well. It’s been difficult handicapping professional sporting contests but if you’ve been tailing me, listening to my show, or read my books then you have been making money.
Cash with Flash Best Bets has 2020-2021 season-long totals of 66-53-1 for NFL football, 48-21 in NCAAF, 39-29 for NCAAB, 15-9 in NHL, 51-31-1 in the NBA, and 39-13 for tennis this season.
Had you wagered $100 dollars on each pick we offered you’d be ahead of the game by about $8100 since September 8, 2020. That’s not too shabby.
Yesterday was a rough, 1-3 day, but all things considered, things are going very well at Cash with Flash Best Bets. Especially this February and we’re looking to keep that momentum going tonight!
You probably discovered this column February 8, 2021 and missed a Sunday where we went 42-13 over our NFL and Australian Open wagers. I would love to put a day like that on loop but sports betting doesn’t work that way.
I say this in my books and I guess it’s worth repeating; you should never blindly follow anyone and especially not a professional handicapper no matter their reputation or their record.
What you want to do is catch a handicapper on a heater and then hop off the train when the good times are about to end, count your winnings, and wait until the capper gets back on track. How will you know these things? By tailing and keeping track.
You likely won’t hear that very often but that’s what makes Cash with Flash so unique in this business.

We have seven games on the NBA schedule but we’re only interested in a couple of contests for tonight.
Brooklyn Nets-Detroit Pistons
I like the total as the best bet for this NBA game and 229.5 points is probably a bit too low for this game. It opened on the board at 232 points and I suspect this game will end at about 232 or so and maybe even higher. These two sides are two of the worst defenses in the NBA and I expect the teams to play fast as Brooklyn is one of the fastest-paced teams in the NBA. Kevin Durant has been ruled out for tonight but Kyrie Irving and James Harden should provide enough spark to get the job done. Play the OVER in this one!
Golden State Warriors-San Antonio Spurs
These two NBA teams played last night with a combined score of 205 points and Vegas has 230 points on the board for tonight’s game. I don’t expect that many points at all and what I do expect is two teams with slim playoff hopes battling it out for the second consecutive night. LaMarcus Aldridge and Lonnie Walker IV are both listed as out for this one and the Warriors will miss James Wiseman on this cold February evening. These teams play fast enough for a high scoring affair but I think they will fall a bit short of 230 points. Play the UNDER in this one!

5). UC Riverside (8-3-1) +7.2

2). Long Beach State (6-2 over) +11.4
3). Cal Baptist (9-3 over) +9.6
4). Georgia Tech (8-5-2 over) +9.5
5). NC Central (4-2 over) +9.4
There are quite a few NCAAB games tonight and we’ll take a look at one of them and see how we fare. You must stay out ahead of injuries plus coronavirus concerns and the best website I know for this would be Newsday.
New Mexico-Colorado State (-17.5)
New Mexico isn’t a very good basketball team and is just 1-11 in the Mountain West and up against a Colorado State side that is having a great season and a victory tonight could find them sitting atop the conference standings. The Lobos are 4-1 ATS after a loss and they’ve found a way to lose three straight. Colorado State is riding a two-game winning streak and while I think they win the game tonight, the Rams turn the ball over too much and that’s just too many points for a conference matchup. Take the points and go with the Lobos to cover the spread tonight.
Arkansas-Kentucky (Pick-em)
The Razorbacks are one of the best teams in the country and they face a Kentucky side that has lost four of its last five games and is 2-5 ATS at Rupp Arena this season. The Wildcats rank 279 in the country in turnover percentage and Arkansas is too good a team to not take advantage of so many miscues. The Razorbacks also have the better and slightly more experienced bench and that will lead Arkansas to victory tonight. Go with Arkansas in this one.
