03-10-18 | USC v. Arizona -3.5 | 61-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Arizona will try for its third Pac-12 tournament title in the past four years when the top-seeded Wildcats meet second-seeded USC at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tonight. Arizona outscored fourth-seeded UCLA 11-0 in overtime to win the first semifinal 78-67 and the Trojans routed No. 6 seed Oregon 74-54 in the second to reach their first tournament championship since 2009. Deandre Ayton was back to being a force against UCLA after a rocky performance in the quarterfinal victory against Colorado, totaling a season-high 32 points on 13-for-16 shooting and grabbing 14 rebounds against the Bruins. There's few college players in the country who can match up with the 7-1 freshman forward. Arizona has won four in a row against USC since a quadruple-overtime loss Jan. 9, 2016. |

03-10-18 | Spurs +5 v. Thunder | 94-104 | Loss | -109 | 8 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Will take any points with San Antonio side that’s 2-0 as a dog against OKC this season. The Spurs have their problems, losing 8 of their last 11 into Thursday vs. Warriors to fall from 3rd to 5th in the Western Conference pecking order, and C Pau Gasol didn’t play at Golden State due to a shoulder injury. However, definitely distrust OKC side that’s been outscored 111-107, is allowing foes to shoot 48%, and has made just 32% of its treys since the all-star break. Mix in fact that the Thunder is just 7-16 vs. the number laying points at home and you have a case. With Carmelo Anthony and Paul George shooting a combined 38% over the team’s last 7 games, it’s no wonder HC Billy Donovan appears frustrated at times. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | North Carolina +3.5 v. Virginia | 63-71 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ball movement was key for North Carolina in the win against Duke as it was able to dismantle a 2-3 zone defense by recording 24 team assists on 28 made field goals, with Pinson (seven assists) and Kenny Williams (six) leading the way. Luke Maye had a bounce-back performance, leading the Tar Heels with 17 points, 10 rebounds and four assists a day after he scored just two points on 1-of-15 shooting against Miami in the quarterfinals. Four other players reached double digits in points for North Carolina, with Joel Berry II scoring 13 and Cameron Johnson, Garrison Brooks and Williams each adding 10. Virginia is in the conference title game for the ninth time in school history but has won only two championships (1976 and 2014) and lost to North Carolina in 2016. North Carolina is looking to win its 19th ACC championship and pull within one of Duke for most all-time. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Wizards +5 v. Heat | 102-129 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a quick turnaround from Tuesday’s series meeting in Washington when the Wizards took a 117-113 decision in OT at the Capital One Arena behind the sharpshooting of Bradley Beal. Beal sank 12 o 16 attempts, including 6 of 7 on his threes to secure the victory. Miami was down 9 at the half but mounted a comeback thanks to bench efforts by Dwayne Wade (team-high 22 pts.) and Tyler Johnson (21). The Wizards played in New Orleans last night, but they are 9-5 the last 2 seasons on the road in 2nd of back-to-back games. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Penguins -106 v. Maple Leafs | 2-5 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 45 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Maple Leafs hope to avoid a fifth consecutive loss when they host the Pittsburgh Penguins today. Toronto fell to 0-2-2 over its last four games with Monday's 5-3 setback in Buffalo but is riding a nine-game home winning streak. Leo Komarov ended his 12-game drought by scoring a pair of goals in the loss by the Maple Leafs, who sit comfortably in third place in the Atlantic Division - 12 points ahead of Florida and seven behind Boston. Pittsburgh, which owns a one-point lead over Washington for first place in the Metropolitan, is riding a three-game winning streak after rolling to a 5-2 victory in Philadelphia on Wednesday. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | West Virginia v. Kansas +1.5 | 70-81 | Win | 100 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Malik Newman was a top-10 recruit for Mississippi State back in spring of 2015, but it is Kansas who is reaping the rewards of his talent nearly three years later. The 6-3 sophomore attempts to put the finishing touches on his brilliant offensive display at the Big 12 Tournament today when the ninth-ranked and top-seeded Jayhawks face No. 18 West Virginia in the championship game at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Mo. Kansas has won the conference tournament seven times in 15 years under coach Bill Self and is 10-2 all-time in the Big 12 championship game. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Blues v. Kings -151 | 7-2 | Loss | -151 | 5 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings have won seven of their last 10 to remain in the mix with their California rivals in the congested Pacific Division. The Kings look to continue their ascent while handing the slumping St. Louis Blues yet another setback today when the Western Conference foes meet at Staples Center. St. Louis sat six points ahead of Los Angeles on Feb. 11 before its offense went limp during a disastrous 1-7-2 stretch, with the team mustering two goals or fewer on eight occasions. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Capitals v. Sharks -135 | 2-0 | Loss | -135 | 5 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Washington Capitals will try to avoid a winless jaunt through the state of California when they conclude a three-game road trip with a visit to the San Jose Sharks today afternoon. The Capitals managed just one goal in losses to Anaheim and Los Angeles to fall one point behind Pittsburgh for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Washington also was swept in the same three-game trek a year ago and has dropped its last seven games (0-6-1) in California. San Jose blanked St. Louis 2-0 on Thursday to improve to 3-1-0 on the six-game home stand as it continues to jockey with Anaheim for second place in the Pacific Division. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Coyotes +150 v. Avalanche | 2-5 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Where Colorado has been better is at home as its 23-8-2 record at the Pepsi Center is among the league's best, and it is 13-1-1 in its last 15 there since a 3-1 loss to Arizona on Dec. 27. The Coyotes are coming off a 2-1 victory at Vancouver on Wednesday and are 9-2-2 over its last 13 games, but remain last in the NHL with 53 points. The teams split the first two of three meetings this season as Carl Soderberg scored twice in Colorado's 6-2 victory in Arizona on Dec. 23 - his first of three two-goal games this season with the last coming Thursday. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Jets +101 v. Flyers | 1-2 | Loss | -100 | 2 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers have both raised expectations and anxiety levels with pronounced winning and winless streaks this season. Following a red-hot 10-0-1 run to end February with an 0-4-1 start to March, the Flyers continue their stretch against formidable foes this afternoon when they host the surging Winnipeg Jets at Wells Fargo Center. While Philadelphia has yet to taste victory this month, Winnipeg has won all four of its contests in March and improved to 3-0-0 on its season-high six-game road trip with a 3-2 triumph over New Jersey. NHL Second Star of the Week Patrik Laine scored his eight goal in four contests to extend his point streak to 10 games (14 goals, six assists) for the Jets, who are 9-2-0 in their last 11 overall and 7-0-1 in their last eight on the road. |
|||||||
03-10-18 | Alabama v. Kentucky -4.5 | 63-86 | Win | 100 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fourth-seeded Kentucky looks to stay on track for its fourth consecutive SEC Tournament title when it faces No. 9 seed Alabama in the semifinals today in St. Louis. The Wildcats cruised past Georgia 62-49 on Friday to notch their 11th consecutive win against the Bulldogs and hope to beat the Crimson Tide for the 10th straight time while ousting them in the semifinals for the second straight year following a 79-74 victory on March 11, 2017. Kentucky has won 12 of its last 13 SEC Tournament games and 16 of the last 18 meetings with Alabama. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Seattle University v. New Mexico State -11.5 | 79-84 | Loss | -105 | 11 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Seattle is 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 Friday games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a straight up win, and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. While New Mexico St. is 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points, 5-1-2 ATS in their last 8 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game, and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Wild -160 v. Canucks | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eric Staal is enjoying the fruits of a torrid stretch and the Minnesota Wild are doing the same with wins in seven of their last nine to ascend into third place in the Central Division. Staal and the Wild look to remain white-hot when they visit the Pacific Northwest bidding to salvage the finale of their three-game season series versus the Vancouver Canucks. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Arkansas v. Florida -4 | 80-72 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Florida is en route to the NCAA Tournament, but the No. 23 Gators would like to improve their resume when they open SEC Tournament play against Arkansas in today's quarterfinals at St. Louis. Third-seeded Florida was sharp while winning its final three regular-season games by an average of 13 points, while the Razorbacks posted a 69-64 over South Carolina in Thursday's second round. The Gators battled issues through a large portion of the season, but coach Mike White is feeling good about his team as March arrives. The sixth-seeded Razorbacks are a hot squad with seven victories in their past nine games, but they have dropped their last eight meetings with the Gators. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Butler v. Villanova -8 | 68-87 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In the first meeting between the teams this season on Dec. 30, Butler knocked off Villanova 101-93 - easily the most points scored against the Wildcats this season. Villanova got its revenge in the second meeting on Feb. 10, notching an 86-75 victory as Donte DiVincenzo scored a career-high 30 points and Jalen Brunson, the potential National Player of the Year, added 27. The third meeting came to fruition late Thursday night, when Butler advanced past Seton Hall on a late tip-in by Tyler Wideman. Villanova had advanced earlier in the evening with a 94-70 victory against Marquette. Villanova averages 87.4 points - tops in the nation - and has scored at least 90 in four of the last six games. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Lakers +7 v. Nuggets | 116-125 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers have been playing very well, logging an 18-8 SU mark since Jan. 7, but recent injury to swing man Brandon Ingram is a worry for HC Luke Walton. That being said, Denver is 1-6 vs. the points overall in its last 7, including 4 straight spread losses at the Pepsi Center. The Lakers have benefited from the return of PG Lonzo Ball, who’s made 50% of his treys over the past 5 games, and blending in of Isaiah Thomas (19 ppg & 6.8 apg off the bench in L5Gs) are solid buy signs. Denver has given up 116 ppg and 51% in its last 10 games. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | St. Louis v. Davidson -8 | 60-78 | Win | 100 | 9 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Louis is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Friday games and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games vs a team with a winning straight up record. While Davidson is 11-4-1 ATS in their L16 games overall, 11-4-1 in their last 16 vs the Atlantic 10, and 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Jazz -9.5 v. Grizzlies | 95-78 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Utah has been on a tear since the last week in January, as the Jazz have won 16 of their last 18 SU and are 11-6-1 vs. the number since winning in Detroit Jan. 24. One of the wins in that run was a 92-88 victory at the FedEx Forum on Feb. 7. The Jazz didn’t cover that trip to Memphis, as vet F Derrick Favors, C Rudy Gobert and super rookie Donovan Mitchell combined to make just 6 of 21 shots. A 29-point effort by Jazz PG Ricky Rubio and a 28-12 edge in free throws made was enough to get the win, and the Jazz held a 10-point lead with 31 seconds left before Dillon Brooks and Mario Chalmers hit late treys to claim a backdoor cover. Utah is in a dead heat with the Clippers and Denver for the final playoff spot, so they desperately need this win with a trip to red-hot New Orleans scheduled for Sunday. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Rockets -2 v. Raptors | 105-108 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The two conference leaders collide. The first meeting went Toronto’s way, with the Raptors making 53% of their shots, while making Rocket kingpin James Harden work for his 38 points, as he was 8 for 25 on the night. Harden also had an embarrassing 9 turnovers! Rocket G Eric Gordon hit only 3 of 12 shots, and key Houston all-star Chris Paul didn’t play that night. The Rockets have won 17 straight games and are 9-1 SU and 10-0 vs. the points in their last 10 on the road, and are 36-2 with Harden and Paul in the lineup together. Toronto unlikely to duplicate its 14 of 30 performance from beyond the arc in Houston, and Paul’s added presence this time around can’t be minimized. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Flames -150 v. Senators | 2-1 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames hope to put together a winning streak following an 0-3-1 slide and move closer to a playoff berth in the Western Conference when they conclude their three-game road trip today against the Ottawa Senators. Calgary halted its skid with Wednesday's 5-1 triumph in Buffalo and is involved in a tight battle for the second wild-card spot, as well as second and third place in the Pacific Division. Sean Monahan was one of four members of the Flames to record a goal and an assist against the Sabres, ending his four-game point drought, and is one tally shy of matching the career high of 31 he set in 2014-15. Ottawa squandered a pair of one-goal leads Thursday and went on to suffer a 4-3 loss to Buffalo in a shootout. The Senators are just two points ahead of the Sabres, who occupy the basement in the Eastern Conference, but have two games in hand. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Clemson v. Virginia -7.5 | 58-64 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sophomore guard Kyle Guy looked just fine after an injury scare last Saturday and hopes to follow up a strong performance in No. 1 Virginia’s ACC Tournament opener as the top-seeded Cavaliers take on fourth seed Clemson in the semifinals today at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Guy, who played with a brace on his injured left knee, scored a game-high 19 and drained four 3-pointers in Virginia’s 75-58 win over Louisville on Thursday. The Cavaliers lead the nation in scoring defense and gave up the least points all season to No. 20 Clemson as Virginia held the Tigers to 31.9 percent shooting while forcing 19 turnovers in a 61-36 triumph on Jan. 23. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Mississippi State v. Tennessee -6 | 59-62 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 12 Tennessee is entrenched in the NCAA Tournament field, but the second-seeded team wouldn't mind adding the SEC Tournament title to its list of accomplishments. The Volunteers begin their pursuit of the conference crown on today, when they face seventh-seeded Mississippi State in the quarterfinals at St. Louis. Tennessee finished the regular season with four consecutive victories while enjoying a winning campaign for the first time in the three-year tenure of Rick Barnes, who was named SEC Coach of the Year. Tennessee obliterated Mississippi State 76-54 on Feb. 27, when Admiral Schofield scored 24 points as the team shot 56.3 percent from the field. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | Kent State v. Buffalo -11 | 61-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kent State is 0-2-2 ATS in their last 4 Friday games. While Buffalo is 5-1-2 ATS in their last 8 games following a ATS win, 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games. Bulls are 7-3-2 ATS in their last 12 Friday games, and 7-3-2 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | George Mason v. St. Joe's -6.5 | 49-68 | Win | 100 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units St. Joseph is 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 games overall, 5-1-1 ATS in their last 7 vs. Atlantic 10, and 23-8-1 ATS in their last 32 Friday games. |
|||||||
03-09-18 | SMU v. Cincinnati -16 | 51-61 | Loss | -105 | 1 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With team scoring leader Shake Milton on the sidelines - likely for the entire AAC Tournament - with a hand injury, SMU leaned on a trio of scorers to build a big lead against the Huskies, then hold on for dear life after UConn closed to within four late. Ben Emelogu II had a team-best 23 points in the 80-73 victory, while Akoy Agau added a career-best 21 and Jahmal McMurray chipped in 19. Those three will have to be just as good - or better - Thursday as the Bearcats come in having allowed 57.3 points per game during the regular season, second only to Virginia (52.8) and well ahead of third-place Central Florida (61.3). Cincinnati also dominated the two-game series with the Mustangs, winning both games by a combined 41 points. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Spurs v. Warriors -11 | 107-110 | Loss | -110 | 23 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The intrigue is quickly leaving this rivalry that once had the ability to captivate NBA Nation. Not so this season, with focused Golden State rolling to a pair of easy wins and covers vs. the ever-depleted Spurs, who now might be looking at LaMarcus Aldridge on the shelf with ankle problems to go along with Kawhi Leonard (might return sometime in March) and perhaps even Paul Gasol. Warriors have played in some breathtaking spurts since the All-Star break as they ramp up for another run at the ring, and even at full strength Coach Pop would be hard-pressed to change this season’s series dynamics. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Capitals v. Kings -131 | 1-3 | Win | 100 | 24 h 47 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Washington is in a battle on top of the Metropolitan Division, while the Kings are hovering in the middle of the Pacific Division. Los Angeles took the first meeting between the teams as a road underdog. The teams are nearly even on the Power Ranking Indicator, but the Kings have been better lately, “burning hot” versus “average” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Going strictly with the trend, I pick the Kings battle to a win, perhaps in overtime. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Blues v. Sharks -145 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 24 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The this Western Conference battle, the Blues are near the bottom in the Central Division, while the Sharks are second in the Pacific Division. San Jose won the last meeting as a road underdog and have a +26 to +13 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. The Blues are just 2-6-2 over the last ten, giving them a “dead up” status. St. Louis is also fifth in Team Volatility and as the road underdog, further strengthens the argument to go with the Sharks. Look for San Jose to take this one by two or more goals. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Hurricanes v. Blackhawks -120 | 3-2 | Loss | -120 | 22 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Neither teams look to be making the post season and currently playing mediocre, at best. Chicago won the last meeting as a road underdog, but the Hurricanes have a +14 to +8 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. A similar advantage is seen on the Team Strength Oscillator. The Hurricanes are hovering around .500 on the road, as are the Black Hawks at home. Simply because they are at home, I will go with the Black Hawks in a one goal game. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Golden Knights -138 v. Red Wings | 4-0 | Win | 100 | 21 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Vegas has a comfortable lead in the Pacific Division, while the Red Wings are struggling to get to .500. Detroit took the last meeting by a 6-3 score as a road underdog. Both teams are “ice cold down”, but Vegas has a huge +23 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Although the Red Wings are at home, there is little indication that they will be able to take down the Knights for the second time. Look for Vegas to kick it into gear heading towards the playoffs. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Colorado v. Arizona -10 | 67-83 | Win | 100 | 5 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The possible top pick in the next NBA draft, Ayton averaged 23 points and 5.5 rebounds while shooting 55.6 percent from the field in two regular-season meetings against Colorado. The Buffaloes will also need to focus on stopping Trier, who was named last season’s Pac-12 Tournament MVP and received All-Pac-12 first-team honors this week after averaging 18.9 points on 52.3 percent shooting. Sophomore guard Rawle Alkins finished the regular season by scoring in double figures in five of his last six games and appears fully healthy after battling a foot injury early in the year. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | UC Riverside v. UC-Davis -7 | 66-70 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UC Riverside is 9-20-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a ATS loss, and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. While UC Davis is 12-3 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Big West, and 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | UMKC v. Grand Canyon -12 | 74-77 | Loss | -105 | 4 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UMKC is 0-4-1 ATS in their last 5 vs. Western Athletic. While Grand Canyon is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall, 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win, and 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Alabama v. Texas A&M -2 | 71-70 | Loss | -103 | 3 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Eighth-seeded Texas A&M looks to beat No. 9 Alabama for the second time in five days when they meet in the second round of the SEC Tournament on Thursday in St. Louis, Mo. The Aggies, who have won seven of their last 10 games, edged the Crimson Tide 68-66 on Saturday to wrap up the regular season with 20 wins and hope to ride the momentum to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2015-16. The Crimson Tide seemed poised to end their five-year NCAA Tournament drought, but dropped their last five games of the regular season to fall on the bubble. Alabama, who finished with a losing record in SEC play for the fourth time in five seasons, has lost three games by 10 or more points during its skid and hopes to make a run in the conference tournament to punch its ticket to March Madness. |
|||||||
03-08-18 | TCU -2 v. Kansas State | 64-66 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units TCU will end its 20-year NCAA Tournament drought next week but first the Horned Frogs would like to tack on some victories in the Big 12 Championship in Kansas City. Fifth-seeded TCU faces fourth-seeded Kansas State in Thursday's quarterfinals and has won four of its last five games entering the conference tournament. enior guard Kenrich Williams has recorded 12 double-doubles and the second-team All-Big 12 selection averages 12.9 points and a team-leading 9.3 rebounds and 53 steals. Senior forward Vladimir Brodziansky, a third-team All-Big 12 choice, shoots 57.7 percent from the field while leading the squad in scoring (15.2) and blocked shots (50), while sophomore Desmond Bane (13.1) drained a team-best 57 3-pointers. The Horned Frogs rank second in the Big 12 in scoring (83.6) and lead the league in field-goal percentage (50) and 3-point percentage (40). |
|||||||
03-08-18 | Louisville +6.5 v. Virginia | 58-75 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ninth-seeded Louisville needed to make a statement in the ACC Tournament and they did just that Wednesday, surviving a second-half comeback from No. 8 seed Florida State in the second round at the Barclays Center to defeat the Seminoles 82-74 and fortify its NCAA Tournament resume. Now the Cardinals get another crack at upending top-seeded Virginia, who earned a double bye into the quarterfinals after capturing the regular-season ACC championship, with the winner moving on to the tourney semifinals to face either No. 4 seed Clemson or No. 12 seed Boston College. |
|||||||
03-07-18 | Pelicans -5.5 v. Kings | 114-101 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Not the Boogie Cousins reunion as earlier meetings this season but some interesting stuff nonetheless as the road dog has won outright all three match ups, including a pair of surprise Sacramento successes at Smoothie King Center. That was all, however, before Pelicans began to ramp things up a few weeks ago, with SU win streak at 7 after win at Spurs on Feb. 28, and Anthony Davis scoring almost 40 ppg during that stretch. For those considering a contrarian vote on Kings, note that into last week the bottom seven teams in the NBA had combined to lose 41 straight games, with Sacramento’s latest SU skid at five straight into March. Scoring 127 ppg in their uptick, hard to see Pelicans getting outgunned by this Kings lot at Golden 1 Center. |
|||||||
03-07-18 | Florida Atlantic v. UAB -10 | 72-83 | Win | 100 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Florida Atlantic is 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600, 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games, and 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Wednesday games. |
|||||||
03-07-18 | DePaul v. Marquette -5.5 | 69-72 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Marquette is in this precarious position partially because of its loss to DePaul late last month, when it suffered a 70-62 setback to the league's last-place team. That is the only defeat in the last five games for the Golden Eagles, who watched all three of their scoring stars struggle from the field in that one. Marquette will hope to ride its offense that has clearly swung the fate of the team in recent weeks. The Blue Demons have lost five of six, managing only the win against Marquette on Feb. 24 during that stretch. |

03-07-18 | Ole Miss v. South Carolina -2.5 | 84-85 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units South Carolina enters as the No. 11 seed, having won three of its last five following a six-game skid. The 14th-seeded Rebels lost their final three games of the regular season and 10 of the last 11, and they’re 1-3 in four games since Tony Madlock took over as acting head coach following longtime coach Andy Kennedy’s resignation. |

03-07-18 | Rockets -6 v. Bucks | 110-99 | Win | 100 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This could prove rather entertaining as was the 115-111 Houston win (but Milwaukee cover) at Toyota Center back on Dec. 16. James Harden (scored 31) and the Greek Freak (added 28) put on a good show that night, when Harden needed help from Chris Paul (scored 25) to help Rockets survive. Since then, however, Milwaukee has jettisoned HC Jason Kidd, and interim Joe Prunty finding it a bit harder against improved opposition in recent weeks, as Milwaukee had dropped 4 of 5 SU into March. Meanwhile Houston 20-9 as road chalk after last night's demolition of Oklahoma City |

03-07-18 | Raptors -5.5 v. Pistons | 121-119 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Just as the vultures were starting to circle at Little Caesars Arena as the Blake Griffin experiment seemed to be going off the rails and likely taking Stan Van Gundy’s job with it, Detroit circled the wagons for a home romp past the Bucks on Feb. 28 to maintain a playoff pulse. But replicating that sort of effort against a Toronto side that blasted Pistons by 27 in their last meeting (pre-Griffin) on Jan. 17 might be a tall order for Detroit, which among other things has not made much of a fortress out of its new arena (just 13-18-2 vs. line at home). That recent W vs. the Bucks was also only the third Pistons cover in last 18 vs. line, making some Detroit die hard's wish for the days of Tobias Harris and Avery Bradley. |

03-07-18 | Penguins -105 v. Flyers | 5-2 | Win | 100 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Evgeni Malkin, who leads the Penguins with 37 goals and 82 points, scored a goal and set up two others on Monday as Pittsburgh skated to its eighth win in 11 outings with a 4-3 overtime triumph versus Calgary. The 2012 Hart Trophy recipient has recorded 43 points (22 goals, 21 assists) in his last 24 games to remain hot on the heels of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov for the scoring lead. The Penguins' torrid stretch has them one point ahead of Philadelphia, which has answered a 10-0-1 run to end February by being outscored 14-8 en route to posting an 0-2-1 mark in March. |

03-07-18 | Flames v. Sabres +127 | 5-1 | Loss | -100 | 4 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Calgary Flames have remained in the postseason chase mainly on the strength of their superb play away from home, but that success has diminished over the past two weeks and so has the team's playoff chances. Calgary looks to end a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) when it resumes a three-game road trip at the Buffalo Sabres tonight. Calgary has dropped three straight away from home to tumble into fifth place in the Pacific Division and 11th in the Western Conference with 15 games remaining. The Sabres are mired in last place in the East but have won three of their last four, knocking off the top three teams in the Atlantic Division in that span |

03-06-18 | Knicks v. Blazers -9 | 87-111 | Win | 100 | 9 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Portland caught the Knicks during the height of “Kristaps mania” back in late November but still beat NY at MSG by 103-91 count. Porzingis tried his best that night (scoring 22) but Knicks couldn’t do anything about Damian Lillard who burned them for 32. Sobering for NY is that in rematch, Porzingis is out and Lillard very much in the Portland fold. At one point this season we would have been interested in giving Knicks a shot in dog role, but probably not now on heels of 1-9 spread skid into March. Meanwhile Portland had dropped just 5 of last 17 vs. line into last Thursday’s game vs. T-wolves. |

03-06-18 | Nuggets -5 v. Mavs | 107-118 | Loss | -115 | 7 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Home team has won first three meetings to date this season, though Dallas covered in each of those. But things a bit different since the last time these two tangoed on Jan. 27, as Paul Millsap has returned to active duty for Denver and the Mavericks’ season has continued to go south, with SU losses in 15 of 19 heading into last Friday’s game vs. the Bulls (which is solace for those who don’t like Mark Cuban, knowing the Dallas owner will be obliged to watch). Hard to find many silver linings at moment for Mavs, who rank 28th offensively in their recent slump. Further, their three small guards--- Dennis Smith Jr., Yogi Ferrell and J.J. Barea--have shot a combined 38 percent during skid, while Smith ranks as the league’s least effective shooter (minimum 100 shots) over the last month. Moreover, their latest starting lineup (with Barea and Smith in the backcourt) has allowed 117 points per 100 possessions over the past two weeks. Otherwise, all is fine in Big D. Playoff hungry Nuggets can’t afford to blow games like this one. |
|||||||
03-06-18 | Rockets -5 v. Thunder | 122-112 | Win | 100 | 7 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston might relish the revenge role, which it used to its advantage in recent beat down of the Clippers at the Staples Center. Now the focus is on an Ok City side that won on Christmas at the Peake when Russell Westbrook (scored 31) outgunned James Harden. But Houston was minus Chris Paul in late December and with Paul in the fold the Rockets had unfurled a 14-game SU win streak into last Saturday vs. Boston (Paul only missed one of those 14 games). And Thunder now minus defensive ace Andre Roberson. Ok City remains a risky investment, dropping 9 of last 12 vs. line into March, and if GM Sam Presti can’t find another wing on the buyout market, erratic Thunder might find itself in a struggle just to get out of the first round of playoffs. |

03-06-18 | Hurricanes v. Wild -153 | 2-6 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The 37-22-8 Minnesota Wild (81 points) are locked in a battle for third place in the Central Division, with the Dallas Stars (80 points), as they get set to welcome the 29-26-11 Carolina Hurricanes to the Excel Energy Center. The Wild bounced back from ugly road losses at Arizona (5-3) and Colorado (7-1) with a 4-1 home victory over the Red Wings and with a home mark of 23-5-6, have lost a league-low five times in regulation on home ice. Carolina is kicking off a three-game road trip Tuesday and was denied a third consecutive victory when it fell to visiting Winnipeg 3-2 on Sunday. That loss caused them to fall two points behind Columbus for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference (Hurricanes have 69 points and the Blue Jackets have 71). Minnesota's home record gives them the edge . |

03-06-18 | Stars v. Predators -165 | 0-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators have been steamrolling through their schedule of late and look to keep moving forward when they begin a four-game home stand today against the Central Division-rival Dallas Stars. Nashville is hoping to set a franchise record with its ninth straight victory and move ahead of Tampa Bay, which it trails by one point in the race for the Presidents' Trophy with a game in hand. The Predators, who have won eight in a row for the first time since Oct. 5-25, 2005, concluded a four-game road trip Sunday with a 4-3 overtime triumph at Colorado in which Filip Forsberg scored 1:07 into the extra session. |
|||||||
03-06-18 | Hawks v. Raptors -12.5 | 90-106 | Win | 101 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It’s been like stealing candy from a baby for Toronto against Atlanta this season, and Raps have romped to three DD wins and spread covers at Hawks’ expense. Not sure that changes here, as Atlanta playing for some date down the road (2021? 2022?), with Mike Budenholzer turning over more playing time to young guys; John Collins now in the starting lineup and Isaiah Taylor saw a big minutes bump in February. Meanwhile Toronto looking to solidify its hold as the top seed in the East and had lost SU in just 1 of 10 into last Friday vs. the Wiz. Still, expect Dwane Casey to keep an eye on the defense, as the starting lineup allowed an alarming 115 points per 100 possessions in a recent four-game stretch. That should require some fine tuning and should keep Raps sharp enough to hammer Hawks again. |
|||||||
03-06-18 | Jets -155 v. Rangers | 3-0 | Win | 100 | 5 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a revenge spot for Winnipeg as they took a rare home loss at the hands of the Rangers last month. They've had success here in MSG though, winning 19 of 32 visits since coming back into the league as the Atlanta Thrashers. The Jets are simply better in every facet of the game compared to NY. They are one of only two teams (Boston) to rank in the top five in both goals scored and allowed. The Rangers are just 4-7-1 their L12 home games w/ Henrik Lundqvist allowing 20 goals his L5 starts here. |
|||||||
03-06-18 | Stony Brook v. Vermont -13 | 51-70 | Win | 100 | 5 h 50 m | Show | |

03-05-18 | Magic v. Jazz -9.5 | 80-94 | Win | 100 | 8 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Utah hit one of its high notes earlier this season on the same night Orlando might have touched a low when Jazz romped by 40 at Amway Center on Nov. 18. Utah “D was smothering that night, holding Magic to 38% FG shooting. Things have gotten a bit better for Orlando since, at least vs. spread (14-6 last 20 thru March 1), though Magic was on a 6-game SU skid heading into last Friday’s game vs. Pistons as return of both Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic to active duty hasn’t translated into wins. Meanwhile Utah has not regained the momentum it had before All-Star break when uncorking 11 wins in a row, dropping 2 of 3 SU and vs. spread since into last Friday vs. Twolves. Utah was, however, able to get well in recent win streak vs. teams at Orlando’s level, and the first meeting suggests some problematic fundamental match ups here for Magic. |
|||||||
03-05-18 | Celtics -7.5 v. Bulls | 105-89 | Win | 100 | 7 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After losing by 23 to Chicago when the Bulls were heating up (remember those days?) in mid December, Boston avenged that loss twelve nights later on Dec. 23 when rolling by 25 at TD Garden. All Celtic starters scored in DDs that night led by Kyrie Irving’s 25 points. Chicago since is heading full-speed into the draft lottery with latest skid at 5 games into last Friday vs. Dallas. Bulls’ Zach LaVine is showing some offensive promise, scoring 17.7 points per game and shooting 39.5% from three since his return in Chicago. However, it’s the other end of the floor that’s a concern — the Bulls are 8.2 points per 100 possessions better defensively when LaVine sits. One of many issues Fred Hoiberg won’t be solving anytime soon. |
|||||||
03-05-18 | Suns v. Heat -9.5 | 103-125 | Win | 102 | 7 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Miami didn’t need Dwyane Wade when it beat Phoenix by 11 in the desert back on Nov. 8. All Heat needed that night was Goran Dragic and Hassan Whiteside, who combined for 52 points as Miami exploited the burnable Phoenix defense with 53% FG shooting. Now Wade is in the fold and Miami seems energized, undefeated last six vs. line into last Thursday vs. Lakers, and turning around what had been poor spread fortunes at AA Arena in process. Suns did break a 10-game SU losing streak when topping white-flag-waving Memphis on Feb. 28, but Suns a bit nicked up with Tyson Chandler (neck) and T.J. Warren (tailbone) hurting late last week. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Nets +8 v. Clippers | 120-123 | Win | 100 | 10 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn has been a fairly sold play when getting some points on the road this season, racking up a 15-8 mark getting 4 pts. or more away from home. The Nets have been getting better scoring recently with the return of D’Angelo Russell (17 ppg L5Gs) and an uptick in performance from Allen Crabbe (also 17 ppg L5). The Clippers have covered 5 of their last 6 games, but all 5 of those “Ws” have come on the road. L.A. was just 2-4 SU and 1-5 vs. the points in its last 6 at Staples Center prior to hosting the Knicks on Friday. The first game was just 2 weeks ago (Feb. 12), and 7 Clippers scored in double figures, but some of those guys won’t be available this time around. |

03-04-18 | 76ers -1.5 v. Bucks | 110-118 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks are sinking in the Eastern Conference with four straight losses. One of the teams taking advantage of that swoon is the Philadelphia 76ers, who jumped in front of the Bucks in the standings and will try to make the advantage even larger when they visit Milwaukee today. The Bucks looked set to make a big move in the East after earning an overtime win at East-leading Toronto coming out of the All-Star break but have since fallen to four straight playoff hopefuls, including a 103-96 setback to the Indiana Pacers at home on Friday. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Pelicans -3.5 v. Mavs | 126-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Davis will try to lead the Pelicans to an eighth straight win when they visit the Dallas Mavericks today. Davis stepped up his level of play when All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins went down with an Achilles injury and was rewarded with a Western Conference Player of the Month Award for his work in February. Davis averaged 35 points and 13 rebounds in February and finished it off with his ninth double-double of the month in a 121-116 win at San Antonio on Wednesday. New Orleans entered play on Saturday a half-game behind four teams tied for the No. 3 spot in the West and overcame double-digit deficits in each of its last three triumphs. The Mavericks are not enjoying quite as much success and are still looking for their 20th win after dropping six of the last seven games. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Jets v. Hurricanes +104 | 3-2 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Today's contest features two teams squarely in playoff races, as the Hurricanes began Saturday holding onto the final Eastern Conference wild-card spot, albeit tied in points with Columbus and one point ahead of Florida. The Hurricanes have won back-to-back games, beating New Jersey 3-1 on Friday as Cam Ward made 25 saves one night after he stopped 21 shots in a victory at Philadelphia. The Jets sent G Steve Mason (concussion) to Manitoba of the AHL on a conditioning assignment Saturday, and he may rejoin Winnipeg at some point during the road trip. |

03-04-18 | Hornets v. Raptors -8 | 98-103 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Toronto failed to post at least 111 points for the first time in eight games on Friday but still pulled out the win with a 102-95 triumph at the Washington Wizards. The Raptors will play their next three against sub-.500 teams and get the first two at home with the Atlanta Hawks coming to town on Tuesday. The Hornets were crawling up the standings with wins in five straight before getting blasted by the Boston Celtics 134-106 on Wednesday and falling off late in a 110-99 setback at Philadelphia on Friday. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Blackhawks v. Ducks -167 | 3-6 | Win | 100 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Rickard Rakell and defenseman Cam Fowler each recorded a goal and an assist against the Blue Jackets as the Ducks improved to 5-0-2 in their last seven at home. The 24-year-old Rakell, who leads the team with a career-high 53 points, has posted back-to-back multi-point performances and three in his last five contests. Chicago, which had lost seven straight away from home (0-6-1), is wrapping up a four-game road trip during which it is 1-2-0 after topping the Kings 5-3 on Saturday. Captain Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane registered a goal and two assists apiece as the Blackhawks overcame a 3-1 deficit in the third period to pull within 12 points of Anaheim for the second wild-card spot. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | Connecticut v. Houston -14.5 | 71-81 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With NCAA Tourney at-large “lock” Houston looking to roll into the American Tourney on a high note, must lay the lumber with under performing UConn, which hasn’t covered back-to-back games since January 13th. Cougars highly-successful 4th-year mentor Kelvin Sampson, who has led three other teams (Wazzu, Indiana & Oklahoma) to the NCAA Tourney, is thrilled with his front line depth. Plus, UH’s torrid-shooting 6-3 soph G Armoni Brooks (nailed 15 of 26 triples over last 3 games) giving nifty support to terrific sr. PG Rob Gray Jr.(17.7 ppg, 4.7 apg), who’ll be jazzed-up for Senior Night. Be sure, Cougs have circled this date after capturing both reg.-season meetings LY before painful upset loss in the conference tourney. |
|||||||
03-04-18 | East Carolina v. Memphis -12.5 | 70-90 | Win | 100 | 20 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Recent Memphis form suggests Tigers could be a bit of a handful in next week’s American Tourney in Orlando, as Tubby Smith’s bunch seems to be peaking, winning and covering last four into March including a rousing home upset win over ranked Houston on Feb. 22. Moreover, there’s a revenge factor here as Tigers look to atone for one of their low moments of the campaign when losing at bottom-rung ECU on Feb. 3. Most impressive is that Tubby’s team seems to have overcome recent loss of top scorer G Jermeiah Martin (ankle), with 6-4 frosh Jamal Johnson looking up the challenge after scoring 18 in recent win at UConn, and rugged 6-9 juco FF Mike Parks, Jr. picking up some or the scoring slack (also scoring 18 vs. UConn). Not sure woebegone Pirates want to show up after their last American road game went rather badly (and how...trailed Houston 62-13 at half last Sunday..) |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Rangers +171 v. Oilers | 3-2 | Win | 171 | 12 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Oilers, who will miss the playoffs for the 11th time in 12 seasons, began their home stand with Thursday's 4-2 loss to Nashville in which captain Connor McDavid recorded a goal and an assist to increase his team-leading total to 77 points. New York is looking to finish perfect on its three-game swing through Western Canada after posting victories in Vancouver and Calgary. Newly acquired center Ryan Spooner recorded a goal and an assist Friday as the Rangers recorded a 3-1 triumph over the Flames. Henrik Lundqvist registered 50-save performances in each of the two wins for New York, which is only five points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference despite having a fire sale prior to last Monday's trade deadline. |

03-03-18 | UCLA +6 v. USC | 83-72 | Win | 100 | 28 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Both of these Pac-12 entries seem destined to ride on the bubble into Selection Sunday, but a bit more might be on the line at Galen Center for UCLA, badly in need of a late-season boost after getting swept in the Pac-12 “altitude trip” to Utah and Colorado last week. Steve Alford has now beaten Andy Enfield three in a row after earlier 82-79 win at Pauley Pavilion on Feb. 3 when Bruin PG Aaron Holiday badly outplayed Trojan counterpart Jordan McLaughlin, outscoring him 23-5. SC in trouble if it can’t win that matchup, and Holiday’s recent form (scored 20 or more in 7 of last 9 games!) suggests Trojans will have issues again on perimeter. |

03-03-18 | Thunder v. Blazers -4 | 100-108 | Win | 100 | 11 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Portland will be gunning for its 5th straight win-and-cover effort against Oklahoma City. The Blazers have won 7 in a row against OKC at the Moda Center, and they were a sizzling 11-1 SU and 9-3 vs. the points in their last 12 home games prior to hosting the Timberwolves on Thursday. Blazer G Damian Lillard was on fire in February, scoring 31.4 ppg, while C.J. McCollum has scored 22 ppg in the last 5. OKC played in Phoenix last night, and the Thunder are just 14-22 vs. the number after a SU win |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Lakers +4.5 v. Spurs | 116-112 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Spurs have won eight of the past 10 against the Lakers but Los Angeles beat the Spurs on Jan. 11 in the two teams' first meeting of the season and has now won two straight against San Antonio. The Lakers have won 16 of their last 23 games and have already eclipsed their win total from all of last season. Los Angeles has captured three straight games on the road and may just make it four in a row against a less than 100 percent San Antonio team. Take the points. |

03-03-18 | Butler +1.5 v. Seton Hall | 70-77 | Loss | -106 | 24 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sure, SH hung tough with Villanova despite absence of injured top scorer 6-6 sr. F Desi Rodriquez (out last 2 tilts with ankle) in 69-68 OT loss in Philly. Would still, however, strongly recommend taking a handful of points with Big Dance-hopeful Butler (RPI of 41; currently a 7th seed according to TGS bracketology),which is geeked for rematch after squandering an 11-point lead in painful 90-87 home loss on Jan. 6. Bulldogs’ normally-productive, DD-scoring duo of 6-1 soph G Kamar Baldwin & 6-7 sr. Kelan Martin figure to display more typical marksmenship after combining for a season-worst 10 of 37 from the field in their team’s 75-68 OT loss at St. John’s on the same day. Hey, the Pirates no bargain as home chalk, logging a 5-9 spread mark at the Pru Center TY. |

03-03-18 | Nuggets +4.5 v. Cavs | 126-117 | Win | 100 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cleveland was 7-23 vs. the points at the “Q” this season prior to hosting Philly on Thursday, and that’s probably enough right there to favor Denver. The Nuggets won last night at Memphis, but Denver is 10-4-1 vs. the points in 2nd of back-to-back games on the road dating to last season. The Cavs are a perfect 4-0 SU and against the number on the road since making their moves at the deadline, but still can’t get it together at home (1-3 vs. the points) or on defense (allowed 114 ppg at home since trade) |

Rating: 2 Units North Texas is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a ATS win, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games, and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. While UTEP is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings vs North Texas/ |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Notre Dame +10 v. Virginia | 57-62 | Win | 100 | 22 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UVa likely hits the ACC Tourney on top of the polls if it can get this one. But not sure it’s going to be easy for Cavs, as Notre Dame has regained services of PF Bonzie Colson (scored 12 in 21 minutes of return game vs. Pitt at midweek) and the attention of the NCAA Selection Committee that is going to take a look at the full-strength Irish if Mike Brey’s team finishes fast. Note ND form has already been improving (5-2 SU last 7) since return to active duty of G Matt Farrell (18 ppg last 8) in early February. Remember, Domers won the Maui Classic when all hands were on deck back in November. |

03-03-18 | Kansas -5 v. Oklahoma State | 64-82 | Loss | -106 | 20 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Kansas is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. While Oklahoma State is 2-6 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600, 3-10 ATS in their last 13 home games, and 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games following a straight up win. |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Blackhawks v. Kings -168 | 5-3 | Loss | -168 | 5 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Los Angeles Kings aim to extend their winning streak to four games overall and complete a regular-season sweep of the Chicago Blackhawks today when the clubs meet at the Staples Center. Jonathan Quick turned aside 51 of 53 shots to help the Kings collect a pair of 3-1 wins over the Blackhawks, and the goaltender has permitted two goals or fewer in six of his last seven appearances. Jeff Carter has returned from a 55-game absence due to a lacerated ankle tendon with a flourish, extending his goal-scoring streak to three contests as Los Angeles overcame an early two-goal deficit to post a 5-2 victory over Columbus on Thursday. The Blackhawks didn't appear ready in Thursday's 7-2 shellacking by the Sharks, extending their road losing skid to seven straight heading into the third contest of their four-game trek today. |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Xavier -7 v. DePaul | 65-62 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With Big East leader X-Men shooting for a top four seed in the Big Dance, don’t mind laying single digits with the ultra explosive, good-shooting Musketeers (85.2; 49.8% from the floor), primed to win & cover their sixth consecutive on the conference trail. Count on a more formful offensive showing from Xavier’s rangy 6-5 sr. J.P. Macura (12. 4 ppg), who scored only 6 points before fouling out in his team’s 84-74 home victory over pesky Providence in mid-week. Defensively-lax DePaul (74.2 ppg)—which has yielded 82 ppg or more 3 of the last 4 games—will eventually succumb to the mighty Musketeers, who won’t take the Blue Demons lightly after needing to overcome a 16-point deficit in their 77-72 home win back on Dec. 30th, when they nailed a season-worst 4 of 22 from deep. |
|||||||
03-03-18 | Virginia Tech +2.5 v. Miami-FL | 68-69 | Win | 100 | 18 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Virginia Tech is 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600., 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 28-13-1 ATS in their last 42 games following a ATS win. While Miami is 8-20 ATS in their last 28 games following a ATS win, 3-8 ATS in their last 11 vs. Atlantic Coast, and 7-21 ATS in their last 28 home games. |
|||||||
03-02-18 | Ball State -3.5 v. Northern Illinois | 65-66 | Loss | -108 | 2 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With postseason tourney seeking BSU seeking its 20th win of the season, willing to lay short price with road-proven Cards, who’ve notched victories at Ohio, Toledo & Akron in MAC action. Expect BSU’s top-scorer 6-3 jr. G Taylor Persons (14.6 ppg)to bounce back after hitting only 3 of 14 from the field in his team’s head-burying 75-51 setback at Central Michigan on Tuesday. Defensively-soft MAC West doormat NIU (76 ppg; 46.5% from the floor; 291st nationally)—licking its wounds from 97-67 home blowout administered by Toledo on the same day, lacks much quick strike ability, converting a paltry 5.2 triples (lowly 340th) pg at 32.6%. Watch for the Cards’ powerful 6-9, 245-pound jr. C Trey Moses to lead his team to the “promised land” again after scoring 23 along with 12 caroms & 3 blocks in his team’s 77-68 series win on Feb. 20th. |
|||||||
03-02-18 | Hornets v. 76ers -3 | 99-110 | Win | 100 | 1 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Philly’s “Process” appears to be progressing swimmingly, as the Sixers are 17-8 SU since just after Christmas, and the team is courting LeBron James as the missing link to a title. Philadelphia played last night in Cleveland and the Sixers have a 2-7 spread mark when unrested this season, a record linked in part to resting C Joel Embiid in those games in first half of the season. Now Embiid has been playing without rest, and Philly is 19-9 vs. the points at the Wells Fargo Center. Hornets on uptick (5-1 SU L6; covered 4 of L5) as G Kemba Walker has been hot (55% L5; 25 ppg), but trust the process facing Hornet side that’s just 6-14 as a road dog. |
|||||||
03-01-18 | Cincinnati -13 v. Tulane | 78-49 | Win | 100 | 3 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cincinnati bounced back from its Feb. 18 home loss to Wichita State with victories over Connecticut and Tulsa and would love to get back to its defensive roots after surrendering 70 or more points in two of its previous three games. Facing the nation's second-ranked defense will be a tall task for the Green Wave, who halted a six-game losing skid with a 79-68 win at South Florida last time out. It's the third game against a ranked opponent this season for Tulane, which fell to North Carolina and Wichita State by an average of 15.5 points |
|||||||
03-01-18 | NC State -2 v. Georgia Tech | 75-78 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Georgia Tech looks to snap a seven-game losing streak in its penultimate home game of the season as the Yellow Jackets host streaking North Carolina State today in an ACC contest The Wolfpack are getting hot at the right time of year and are winners of four in a row, including a 20-point home win over Florida State on Sunday. The Yellow Jackets, on the other hand, have just one win in their last 12, including a 75-67 loss to No. 18 Clemson on Saturday where they missed 13 layups. |
|||||||
03-01-18 | Virginia -4 v. Louisville | 67-66 | Loss | -104 | 2 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Cavaliers held Pittsburgh to seven points in the first half and 23.9 percent shooting overall en route to a 66-37 triumph Saturday to clinch the ACC title and first seed in the tournament. Sophomore guard Ty Jerome has averaged 15.5 points the last two games and freshman backcourt mate De’Andre Hunter poured in 14.8 per contest over his last four outings. Sophomore guard Kyle Guy, who leads the team in scoring (14.5), was limited to 11 points combined in the last two games while senior guard Devon Hall (11.8) is averaging just 5.7 the past three. |
|||||||
03-01-18 | Wichita State -10 v. UCF | 75-71 | Loss | -106 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wichita State continues its pursuit of an American Athletic Conference title when it tries for its seventh straight victory today at Central Florida. The No. 11 Shockers are coming off an 84-78 win over SMU on Saturday and are second in the AAC, trailing No. 10 Cincinnati by one game with two to play as a showdown against the Bearcats looms Sunday. Wichita State senior forward Shaquille Morris is in the twilight of a career that has seen him record 14.0 points and 5.3 rebounds per game this season, but his averages of 20.5 points and 8.8 rebounds over the last four contests serve notice that he could be tougher to deal with down the stretch |
|||||||
03-01-18 | Northwestern v. Penn State -5.5 | 57-65 | Win | 102 | 1 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Penn State cruised past the Wildcats 78-63 in the first meeting of the season before suffering a 70-61 setback on Jan. 20 and strive to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2015. Northwestern has dropped six consecutive games, including a 77-70 loss to Iowa on Sunday to end a disappointing regular season. The Wildcats, who returned most of their core players from the team that earned the first NCAA Tournament berth in program history last year, struggled under the weight of expectations and hope to avoid their first losing season since 2014-15. |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Nevada -1.5 v. UNLV | 101-75 | Win | 100 | 4 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nevada cut down the nets after Sunday's home win over Colorado State which garnered the 21st-ranked Wolf Pack at least a share of a second consecutive Mountain West regular season championship as well as the No. 1 seed for next week's conference tourney in Las Vegas. But even though his team has just seven players on scholarship including two that are battling injuries, Nevada coach Eric Musselman scoffed at the notion of resting some players for Wednesday night's game at UNLV. |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Rockets -8.5 v. Clippers | 105-92 | Win | 102 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Round Three of the Chris Paul reunion, though Paul has only played in one of the two previous Rockets-Clips meetings this season, both won by LA. In the game Paul played, James Harden didn’t, so with them both on the floor would have to like Houston’s chances to gain revenge, especially considering how Harden scored 51 in the Paul-less loss at Toyota Center back on Dec. 22. Rockets less likely to hit those flat spots down the stretch as they battle with Warriors for best record in West and home edge in playoffs, which could be a very big deal by the time we get to late spring. |
|||||||
02-28-18 | New Mexico -5 v. Colorado State | 108-87 | Win | 100 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While distracted and dispirited CSU might be better-advised to simply forfeit if putting forth non-efforts at home like last Wednesday’s 33-point loss to Boise, New Mexico looking like it’s having a bit of fun as it runs and guns for first-year HC Paul Weir, who led downstate New Mexico State into the Big Dance last March. Lobos just cranked out 119 points in win at Wyo, bombardier G Anthony Mathis continuing to hit nearly 50% beyond arc, and UNM has not been bothered on MW road, where it has already won SU three times |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Butler -1.5 v. St. John's | 68-75 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Butler may have clinched an NCAA Tournament bid in its last two games with impressive victories, but can add some insurance when it pays a visit to dangerous St. John’s today for a Big East contest. The Bulldogs knocked off Providence on Feb. 17 and routed No. 24 Creighton 93-70 three days later before getting a much-needed rest as they prepare to end the regular season with two road games. The Red Storm have been a much better team the last month with shocking wins over Duke and Villanova, although they lost their last two contests against Marquette and Seton Hall to sit at the bottom of the league standings. |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Houston -5.5 v. SMU | 69-56 | Win | 100 | 2 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Leading scorer Shake Milton has been out for that entire stretch - which includes a 67-58 loss at Houston earlier this month - with a fractured hand and is doubtful for Wednesday. The Mustangs will honor seniors Ben Emelogu II and Akoy Agau, whose final seasons have been derailed by their own injuries and injuries to teammates that have left SMU with seven or fewer scholarship players during the past seven games. SMU has won seven of the past nine meetings with Houston but will need a big defensive effort to slow the Cougars. Houston scored a conference-record 109 points in Sunday's win against East Carolina and tied its own record with 18 3-pointers in the win. |
|||||||
02-28-18 | Villanova v. Seton Hall +6.5 | 69-68 | Win | 100 | 2 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 5 Villanova is still in good shape to earn a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament, but its margin for error is getting thin. With an uncharacteristic 3-3 record in their last six games, the Wildcats look to return to form today at Seton Hall. The Wildcats beat the Pirates 92-76 earlier this month, but they lost to unranked St. John's in their next contest and have since fallen on the road to two more unranked teams - Providence and Creighton in the last two weeks. In Saturday's overtime loss at Creighton, Villanova received double-digit points from all five starters but got virtually nothing from its bench. Seton Hall is in a four-way tie for third place in the Big East entering Tuesday's action and can effectively clinch its NCAA Tournament spot by beating the Wildcats. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Sharks v. Wild -148 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 9 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Minnesota Wild have been a better team since the calendar turned to 2018 and look to continue their surge toward securing a playoff spot in the Western Conference when the San Jose Sharks pay a visit Sunday. The Wild have won three straight after Friday’s workmanlike 4-1 victory at the New York Rangers and own points in 18 of 22 games (14-4-4) since Jan. 1. The Wild edged ahead of Dallas for third in the Central Division Friday and the Sharks have dropped two in a row to sit in second place by just one point in the Pacific. San Jose was outscored 10-2 in the last two contests after winning five of the previous six and must get it’s offense going again, especially a power play that is 0-for-19 in an eight-game span. The Wild has won the last four meetings, including a 4-3 overtime triumph Dec. 10 with two goals and an assist from Staal. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Rockets v. Nuggets +5 | 119-114 | Push | 0 | 8 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Houston Rockets are bridging the All-Star break with an 11-game winning streak but are about to begin the toughest part of the remaining schedule with 10 of the next 13 on the road. That stretch begins with a high-altitude back-to-back, starting with a visit to the surging Denver Nuggets today. The Rockets, who head to Utah on Monday and will play 12 of the next 13 games against teams with current winning records, are trying to hold off the defending champion Golden State Warriors for the top spot in the Western Conference. Houston didn't show any rust out of the break on Friday, when it enjoyed one of its few home games over the next month by breezing past the Minnesota Timberwolves 120-102. The Nuggets are tied for the second-longest winning streak in the West at four in a row and are trying to emerge out of a pack of teams tightly grouped from third through tenth in the standings. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Wright State v. Illinois-Chicago -1 | 88-81 | Loss | -102 | 6 h 27 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Illinois Chicago is 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 vs. Horizon League. While Wright State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Horizon League. In addition, Wright State is 3-11 ATS in the last 14 meetings including 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in Illinois-Chicago. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Penn State v. Nebraska -1 | 64-76 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating; 2 Units Nebraska improved to 15-1 at home with the win and hope to avenge a 76-74 overtime loss on Jan. 12 to the Nittany Lions, who dropped their second straight following Wednesday's 72-63 setback at home against Michigan. Penn State can still reach the 20-win mark for the first time since 2008-09 with a win today, but it will have to do so without impressive sophomore forward Mike Watkins (12.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 blocks), who has been ruled out after suffering a right knee injury early in Wednesday's defeat. |
|||||||
02-25-18 | Pistons v. Hornets -4 | 98-114 | Win | 100 | 1 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit is two games under .500 and sitting in the No. 9 spot in the East with 24 games remaining in the regular season, 15 of which will come on the road, and suffered a 110-98 home loss to the Boston Celtics coming out of the break on Friday. The Hornets are trying to play their way into the playoff race as well and used a three-game winning streak to pull within 2 1/2 games of the Pistons. Charlotte did not show any sluggishness coming out of the break and followed a 111-96 win over Brooklyn on Thursday with a 122-105 pasting of the Washington Wizards on Friday. |
