02-25-18 | Blues v. Predators -145 | 0-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The St. Louis Blues gained at least a point in 23 of their first 31 games this season and are suddenly fighting for their lives in the playoff race as they visit the red-hot Nashville Predators this afternoon. The Blues have dropped five straight contests (0-4-1) while managing only seven goals in the stretch after suffering a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Winnipeg at home Friday. The Blues are one point behind Anaheim for the second wild card in the Western Conference and 11 in back of Central Division leaders Winnipeg and Nashville, which comes in riding a three-game winning streak and boasting an 8-2-2 record in February. The Predators have posted 15 goals during their win streak, capped by a rousing 7-1 victory over San Jose on Thursday at home, where they are 21-7-3. |

02-24-18 | Arizona v. Oregon -2 | Top | 93-98 | Win | 100 | 29 h 30 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAB Play of the Day The Wildcats struggled without Trier on Thursday at 10th-place Oregon State, needing two free throws by Rawle Alkins with 14 seconds left in regulation to push the game to overtime, where they finally pulled away for a 75-65 victory. Oregon got a much-needed win against No. 25 Arizona State on Thursday, and that should give the Ducks added confidence against the Wildcats, who beat Oregon 90-83 behind 25 points from Trier on Jan. 13. The Ducks enter the weekend tied for sixth in the conference with Washington, and they can leapfrog a few more teams with a strong finish against Arizona and at Washington State and Washington next week. The Ducks haven't finished lower than third in the Pac-12 since finishing seventh in 2010-11, when it was still the Pac-10. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | San Diego State -13.5 v. San Jose State | 71-59 | Loss | -115 | 28 h 18 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Whereas the lonely surroundings of the Event Center have often lulled San Jose State foes to sleep the past few seasons, surging SDSU eager to get on any court to continue recent uptick that’s seen Aztecs impressively win three in a row, an ascent that has coincided with return to active duty of sr. G Trey Kell, a steadying influence and leader on the floor. Aztecs now working on three double-digit wins and covers in a row after comfy midweek win at Air Force, while Spartans still wearing the big doughnut (0-15 SU!) In MW play. SJSU already proved vulnerable to an Aztec KO blow after getting hammered 85-49 at Viejas Arena back on Jan. 9. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Mavs v. Jazz -9 | 90-97 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz will look to start a new winning streak when they host the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday. Utah won a season-best 11 straight games prior to the All-Star break but struggled offensively Friday when it dropped a 100-81 decision to the Portland Trail Blazers. Dallas is 7-22 on the road this season and figures to face long odds against the Jazz in a road back-to-back while Utah is playing consecutive home games on its back-to-back. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Blazers -6.5 v. Suns | 106-104 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Portland Trail Blazers attempt to complete a four-game season sweep of Phoenix when they visit the sinking Suns today. Portland has scored an average of 118.7 points while winning this season's previous three meetings, and that includes a 124-76 romp over Phoenix in the season opener Oct. 18. All-Star point guard Damian Lillard has scored 25 or more points in each of his last seven games against the Suns and he tuned up with 24 in Friday's 100-81 road victory over the Utah Jazz. Phoenix suffered a 128-117 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday for its eighth straight setback and 16 in its past 18 games. The Suns clinched their fourth consecutive losing campaign with their latest loss and are tied with the Atlanta Hawks for the NBA's worst record. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Ducks -158 v. Coyotes | 0-2 | Loss | -158 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks are starting to realize the potential that many believed would make them a Stanley Cup finals contender as they visit the improving Arizona Coyotes today. Anaheim shut out Dallas 2-0 on Wednesday for its season-high fourth straight victory, moving into third place in the Pacific Division with backup goaltender Ryan Miller a big reason for the uprising. The Ducks won the first two of four meetings this season - both in Anaheim - 5-4 in the season opener for both teams Oct. 5 and 5-2 on Dec. 31, giving them seven wins in the last eight encounters. While Arizona is 3-9-5 versus the Pacific. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Lightning -147 v. Canadiens | 4-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Tampa Bay Lightning continue to post victories while showing weaknesses and hope for a better 60-minute performance tonight when they visit the Montreal Canadiens for an Atlantic Division battle. The Lightning have been outshot 73-43 in the first two legs of a three-game road trip, but came away with a 4-2 win at Washington on Tuesday and survived a rally to post a 4-3 triumph at Ottawa on Thursday. The Lightning have won three of four and lead the Atlantic Division by three points over Boston, which has three games in hand, and look to avenge a 2-1 shootout loss at Montreal on Jan. 4 when they registered 45 shots and allowed 38. The Canadiens snapped a six-game losing streak (0-4-2) with a 3-1 victory over the depleted New York Rangers on Thursday and are closer to the bottom of the Eastern Conference than a playoff position. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Penguins -114 v. Panthers | 5-6 | Loss | -114 | 7 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Panthers sit five points out of the second wild-card spot in the East while Pittsburgh moved into first place in the Metropolitan Division on Friday after getting two goals from Phil Kessel in a 6-1 victory at Carolina. The Penguins have scored 29 goals during their season-high six-game winning streak, have earned at least one point in eight straight (7-0-1), are 11-1-1 in their last 12 and added another offensive weapon in a trade on Friday. Pittsburgh acquired center Derick Brassard from Ottawa in a three-team deal that makes the team very strong down the middle as it gears up for the playoffs. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Washington State v. Stanford -11.5 | 84-86 | Loss | -110 | 25 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Stanford is 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 vs. Pacific-12, and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games after scoring more than 90 points in their previous game. While Washington State is 1-9 ATS in their last 10 road games, 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, and 0-8 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. In addition, Washington State is 5-16-2 ATS in the last 23 meetings versus Stanford. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Magic v. 76ers -9 | 105-116 | Win | 100 | 5 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Philadelphia is enjoying its longest winning streak since a six-game run during the 2011-2012 season and is focused on moving up the standings in the Eastern Conference, with the third-place Cleveland Cavaliers only 2 1/2 games ahead entering play on Friday. The Magic are not in the playoff chase and are just trying to stay off the bottom of the East after a 120-113 home setback to the New York Knicks on Thursday dropped them 22 games under .500. The loss was the fourth straight for Orlando, which is 7-23 on the road and kicks off a stretch with seven of 10 away from home today. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Wichita State -6.5 v. SMU | 84-78 | Loss | -117 | 20 h 22 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With NCAA Tourney-bound WSU (currently projected as a 3rd seed) likely to have top-scoring 6-4 soph Landry Shamet (missed Tulane on Wednesday due to illness) back in the lineup, suggest laying single-digits with angry Shockers itching to avenge 83-78 home upset loss in mid-January, which halted their protracted 27-game win streak at Charles Koch Arena. Anticipate a ferocious defensive effort from WSU after the Mustangs hit a sizzling 64% from the field, and had 33 points from now-sidelined 6-6 jr. G Shake Milton. Shorthanded SMU a bankroll-depleting 3-9-1 last 13 vs. the spread. 1 |
|||||||
02-24-18 | LSU +3.5 v. Georgia | 82-93 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Though both squads need to make deep runs in the SEC tourney to have any shot at a Big Dance at-large-bid, still strongly recommend “taking” 2+ hoops with revenge-minded LSU, which is primed to nab its 3rd straight league win for the first time this season. Tigers’ gifted 5-11 frosh PG Tremont Waters (15 ppg, 5.9 apg) has “vaulted’ the “freshman wall” after scoring 28 points & dishing out 9 assists in his team’s 88-78 home victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday. Moreover, LSU can surely afford to “double-team” Georgia’s top weapon 6-8 sr. F Yantee Maten since the Dawgs nail only six 3-pointers pg at a rim-clanging 32.1% (317th). Will Wade’s Tigers still seething after blowing 34-24 halftime lead in last-second 61-60 home loss in mid January, when aforementioned Waters (then battling a virus) contributed only 6 points. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Flyers -131 v. Senators | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 2 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers inserted recent trade acquisition Petr Mrazek into the lineup and didn't miss a beat, extending their winning and point streaks to four and 10 games (8-0-2), respectively. The Flyers take their show on the road for a matinee tilt today at Canadian Tire Centre against the Ottawa Senators, who have dropped three in a row. Wearing an all-white mask with his new team's logos, Mrazek put forth a colorful performance in his debut by turning aside 19 of 20 shots in Thursday's 2-1 triumph over Columbus. The 26-year-old Czech has shackled the Senators in six career meetings while with Detroit, posting a 4-0-2 mark while stopping 185 of 197 shots. |
|||||||
02-24-18 | Davidson -7 v. Duquesne | 71-60 | Win | 100 | 18 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Surging Davidson (6-1 SU last 7; 5-2 vs. the line) desiring to stay tied with St. Bonaventure for 2nd place in the A-10. Hence, we have no qualms laying short price with the ultra-disciplined & error free Wildcats, who lead the nation in critical assist-to-TO ratio. Davidson’s dynamic 1-2 punch of explosive 6-7 sr. F Petyon Aldridge (20.1 ppg) & prized, sharp-shooting 6-5 frosh G Kellan Grady (16.7 ppg; team-high 57 triples) will continue to shine in Pittsburgh, while erratic-gunning, scatter-passing Duquesne (42.2% from the field; 301st; 11.7 apg; 305th) ill-equipped to play catch-up. Note, Dukes have lost by 7 points or more in 9 of 12 setbacks TY |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Cavs -5 v. Grizzlies | 112-89 | Win | 100 | 3 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cleveland has been ignited by trade, as newly acquired Gs Jordan Clarkson and Rodney Hood combined for 30 ppg and shot 57% off the bench after being acquired. Larry Nance Jr. pulled down 6.5 rpg as a reserve as well, and James looked like a newly-crowned King with 30 ppg, 9.5 rpg and 12.8 apg since the trade prior to facing Washington last night. The Cavs haven’t been great when unrested on the road this season (1-3 vs. points), but also-ran Memphis is coming off a long layoff (on the beach in the Bahamas?). Cleveland has been working to integrate its new parts and the clash last night will sharpen their game. |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Penguins -114 v. Hurricanes | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins vie for their sixth consecutive victory overall and a split of the season series versus the Carolina Hurricanes today when the Metropolitan Division rivals reconvene at PNC Arena. The Penguins dropped the first two encounters between the clubs before skating to a 3-1 win on Jan. 23 to ignite their current 10-1-1 stretch. Evgeni Malkin has been front and center during Pittsburgh's torrid stretch by recording 21 points (12 goals, nine assists) in the past 11 games overall, including an assist in Sunday's 5-2 romp over Columbus to extend his point streak to four contests. The 2012 Hart Trophy winner leads the team in goals (33) and points (70), although he has been held off the score sheet and registered a minus-2 rating in three encounters versus Carolina this season. The Hurricanes have alternated three-game winning and losing streaks over their last 12 contests, with a pair of losses to New Jersey highlighting their current stumble |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Celtics -1.5 v. Pistons | 110-98 | Win | 100 | 2 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Visitor has won 7 of last 9 in this series SU, and Detroit has been in a point spread tailspin since Christmas. The Pistons are just 8-14 SU in 2018 and only 3-13-1 vs. the number since mid-January. Boston struggled into the break, losing its 4 of its last 5 SU, but the losses were against revitalized Cleveland, Toronto, the Clippers and Indiana. Detroit traded its most explosive weapon against Boston (Tobias Harris, 25 ppg vs. Celtics TY), and the shine is off the Blake Griffin apple a bit. Pistons covered just 1 of Griffin’s first 8 games with the club |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Wild -160 v. Rangers | 4-1 | Win | 100 | 2 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Staal, who leads the team with 54 points, has registered eight goals and nine assists in his last 15 games after netting a late tally in Thursday’s win as Minnesota improved to 5-1-2 in its last eight contests and occupies a playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Wild posted a 3-2 home win last week and exploded for seven goals in a road victory last season against the Rangers, who have dropped five straight and nine of their last 11 after suffering a 3-1 setback at Montreal on Thursday. The Rangers, who are six points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, made Michael Grabner a healthy scratch against the Canadiens and announced they traded their leading goal scorer to New Jersey after the game. With both backups in net on Thursday |
|||||||
02-23-18 | Dayton v. Rhode Island -10.5 | 56-81 | Win | 100 | 1 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After barely surviving in 95-93 OT win at LaSalle on Tuesday, expect defense-minded, Big Dance-bound RI (currently a projected 5-seed; 67.8 ppg) to dig in on the stop end after permitting a season-high point allowance vs. the Explorers. Moreover, watch for extra effort performances from RI’s terrific senior backcourt triumvirate of 6-5 E.C. Matthews (13 ppg), key reserve 6-0 Jarvis Garrett (6.3 ppg, 58 assists) & 6-3 Jared Terrell (18 ppg, 40 steals) on Senior Night. Mediocre, defensively-soft Dayton (73 ppg; 46.2% from the floor; 289th) is a poor 1-8-1 last 10 vs. the spread. Note, that the Flyers nailed a blistering 63% from the field and still failed to cover in 88-74 home loss on Jan. 20th. |
|||||||
02-22-18 | Houston -7 v. Memphis | 85-91 | Loss | -105 | 24 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units We’re convinced about Houston’s capabilities after watching Cougs keep rugged Cincy off balance, which makes us believe Kelvin Sampson’s crew might be able to land on the safe side of the Big Dance cut line. The ability of UH bombers Corey Davis and Armoni Brooks (both better than 43% beyond arc) to hit from deep gives Houston a dimension that Memphis (only 29.6% triples) lacks. Need more evidence than recent win over fading SMU that Tubby Smith’s Tigers (only 2-5 SU and vs. line last seven into last Saturday vs. Tulane) can step up vs. a real quality foe |
|||||||
02-21-18 | Fresno State +2.5 v. UNLV | 77-64 | Win | 100 | 1 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fresno has owned this series lately vs. UNLV, and continued recent mastery with 69-63 win at Save-Mart Center on Jan. 23, holding go-go Rebs to their lowest scoring output of season. Bulldogs have since picked up the pace and won their first three February games in romping fashion, with former Colorado transfer G Jaron Hopkins (only 5 points in first meeting) having tapped a rich vein of form, tallying 19 ppg last three into Saturday’s game vs. CSU. Overvalued Rebs not providing a lot of Golden Knights-like value in Vegas, where they’ve dropped 7 of last 9 vs. line |
|||||||
02-20-18 | Northern Iowa v. Valparaiso -4 | 68-63 | Loss | -110 | 26 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Valparaiso Crusaders are 8-3 at home this season, and 5-11 against 9-4 opponents. At home the Crusaders are averaging 69.0 scoring, and holding teams to 66.0 points scored on defense. The Northern Iowa Panthers are 0-9 while on the road this season, 5-11 against conference opponents, and 8-4 against non-conference opponents. On the road, the Panthers are averaging 59.1 scoring, and holding teams to 70.0 points scored on defense. |
|||||||
02-20-18 | Blue Jackets v. Devils -105 | 2-1 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Just as the New Jersey Devils appeared poised to fall off the pace in the Metropolitan, they have battled back into contention in the division by ripping off four consecutive victories. Meanwhile, the Columbus Blue Jackets are stumbling back in the pack with three straight losses as they prepare to visit the resurgent Devils tonight. New Jersey has alternated streaks over the past month, sandwiching a pair of four-game skids around winning three straight prior to the current four-game run that featured three victories away from home. The Blue Jackets were unable to keep pace with the red-hot Pittsburgh Penguins in a 5-2 home loss Sunday night, their eighth defeat in the last 10 games (2-6-2). |
|||||||
02-20-18 | Canadiens v. Flyers -164 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 22 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers' offense has erupted for 30 goals during its eight-game point streak (6-0-2), but the franchise's age-old goaltending problem is back at the forefront after injuries to Brian Elliott and Michal Neuvirth. Rookie Alex Lyon likely will receive his third career start today as the Flyers face the Montreal Canadiens to open a two-game home stand. Lyon turned aside 25 of 26 shots in place of an injured Neuvirth in Sunday afternoon's 7-4 victory over the reeling New York Rangers. The 25-year-old Lyon recorded his first career victory for Philadelphia, which reportedly has engaged in talks with Detroit over goaltender Petr Mrazek. While the Flyers have posted a 22-8-3 mark since Dec. 4 to move into third place in the congested Metropolitan Division, Montreal is spiraling down the Atlantic with losses in five straight games overall and 11 of its last 12 away from home to fall to 8-19-1 on the road. |
|||||||
02-20-18 | West Virginia v. Baylor -1 | Top | 71-60 | Loss | -110 | 24 h 9 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAB Play of the Day Since defeating Baylor in early January, West Virginia has been on a steady downhill spiral. The 21st-ranked Mountaineers aim to stop the bleeding today when they visit the Bears in Big 12 action. West Virginia nipped Baylor 57-54 on Jan. 9 as senior guard Jevon Carter, the heart and soul of the team, knocked down the decisive 3-pointer in the final minute. Carter is enjoying a terrific senior season, but his team still has lost seven of 11 since the win over the Bears. Baylor has followed a four-game losing streak by winning its last five, including massive victories against Kansas and Texas Tech in the last 10 days. |
|||||||
02-20-18 | Akron v. Bowling Green -7 | 81-79 | Loss | -103 | 24 h 1 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After averaging a lofty 23-win campaign over the previous six campaigns, Akron’s 1st-year HC John Groce has clearly been unable to reload at all on a zipless Zip squad (11-14) fighting to stay out of the MAC East dungeon. On the contrary, postseason-seeking BG (16-10) has won 4 of its last 5 tilts SU (5-0 vs. spread) prior to tough trip to Buffalo, including back-to-back home upsets over Eastern Michigan & Western Michigan. Well balanced Falcons (5 avg. between 9 & 15 ppg) have greatly benefited by one of the loop’s top newcomers, 6-4 RS frosh Justin Turner (15.4 ppg, team-high 36 steals), who has been a positive force on both ends of the floor. Payback works for BG following stinging 80-78 loss in “The Rubber City” in mid-January, when the Falcons missed 14 foul shots & lost on a 3-pointer with 3 ticks left! |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Ducks v. Golden Knights -147 | 2-0 | Loss | -147 | 10 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The expansion Vegas Golden Knights sit atop the NHL with 82 points and intend to stay there for a while as they look to complete a four-game sweep of the season series against the visiting Anaheim Ducks on Monday. The Golden Knights have won three straight contests after rolling to a 6-3 victory over Montreal on Saturday and own a comfortable lead in the Pacific Division. The Golden Knights have outscored the Ducks 11-6 in the three victories |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Minnesota v. Wisconsin -6 | Top | 63-73 | Win | 100 | 27 h 28 m | Show |
Rating: 3 Unit NCAAB Play of the Day Wisconsin has won seven straight meetings with Minnesota dating back to 2014. The Gophers have been hit hard by injuries to several key players. Amir Coffey and Dupree McBrayer are questionable for Monday's game. In addition, the Golden Gophers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games versus teams with a losing record., 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss, and 1-7 ATS in their last 8 versus the Big Ten. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Kings +109 v. Blackhawks | 3-1 | Win | 109 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units LA averages 2.8 GPG and it concedes 2.5. Overall the Kings have been dominant on the penalty kill this season, ranked third overall in staving off 83.4 percent of opposing chances. John Quick made 33 saves in the most recent victory over the Sabres. Chicago averages and concedes 2.9 GPG. The Blackhawks looked pretty good against the Capitals, but I’ll obviously caution in reading too much into one decent performance as it was Chicago’s first win in over a month. Additionally I’ll point out that the Kings are 4-1 in their last five against teams with losing records, while the Blackhawks are just 1-9 in their last ten when playing on one days rest. LA is still in the thick of a playoff berth, while Chicago’s inconsistent season can’t come to an end soon enough for Blackhawks’ fans. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Maryland v. Northwestern -1 | 71-64 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In a near pick ‘em scenario, would side with revenge-minded NW, which will be looking to snap a 3-game losing skein following loss to No.2-ranked Michigan State on Saturday. Wildcats’ star 6-3 sr. G Bryant McIntosh (12.1 ppg) will be especially geeked for this rematch after coming up with a rare goose egg in 73-59 setback in College Park on Feb. 10. While the Terps have successfully fed off the palpable fan support at home, Mark Turgeon’s troops haven’t been able to get over the hump on the hostile conference trail, dropping seven straight as a visitor. Moreover, Maryland still betrayed at time by miscues, evidenced by its horrific 327th ranking in TO margin. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Capitals -135 v. Sabres | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Capitals are 3-3-2 this month after earning points in 10 of their previous 12 contests (8-2-2) as they take on the Sabres, who have dropped their last two games after beating East-leading Tampa Bay on Tuesday. Buffalo was outshot 19-8 in the first period and gave up three goals in the second session to fall behind by four before settling for a 4-2 setback against Los Angeles on Saturday. Buffalo G Robin Lehner is 1-2-2 with an .877 save percentage in his last five starts. |
|||||||
02-19-18 | Wild v. Islanders +115 | 5-3 | Loss | -100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Islanders are wrapping up a stretch during which it plays seven of nine at home and have gone 3-2-1 at Barclays Center in that span. New York is coming off back-to-back shutout victories in which its goaltenders starred, as Jaroslav Halak made 50 saves against the New York Rangers on Thursday while Thomas Greiss stopped 45 shots in Carolina the following night. Minnesota concluded a 2-1-2 home stand on Saturday with a 3-2 loss to Anaheim that was decided in the 11th round of the shootout. Jason Zucker scored his 23rd goal of the season in the setback, eclipsing the career high he set last campaign. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Stanford -6 v. California | 77-73 | Loss | -115 | 27 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Payback for Stanford after bitter 77-74 loss in Berkeley on Dec. 30. Not much has gone right for Golden Bears since, who’ve subsequently won SU just once (at Haas Pavilion vs. Oregon State), while Cardinal has steadied itself and could be in line for some sort of postseason bid. Key Stanford G Dorian Pickens (14.1 ppg) was a bit rusty in what was his return-to-action game in first meeting, hitting just 3 of 13 from floor, while front liners Reid Travis and Michael Humphrey were hampered by fouls, and Tree could only hit 17 of 33 from FT line. No wonder Stanford lost! Repeat unlikely at Maples Pavilion, where recent home-oriented trend in the Bay Area rivalry (host has won and covered last six) should continue. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Panthers +180 v. Jets | 2-7 | Loss | -100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Jets are 5-2-1 on their season-long homestand as they take on the Panthers, who knocked off Calgary 6-3 on Saturday to improve to 7-1-0 in their last eight contests and 3-0-0 with 17 goals on a five-game trip. All-Star center Aleksander Barkov has played a big role in Florida’s run with four goals and 10 points over the past seven contests. James Reimer, who has won his last two starts, is likely to be back in net after Roberto Luongo (30 saves) earned the win Saturday in his first game in more than two months because of a lower-body injury. The Panthers have won four of the last six meetings, including a 6-4 triumph in Sunrise, Fla., on Dec. 7. |
|||||||
02-18-18 | Penguins +109 v. Blue Jackets | 5-2 | Win | 109 | 7 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pittsburgh Penguins continue their quest for first place in the Metropolitan Division today as they seek a fifth consecutive victory when they visit the Columbus Blue Jackets. Pittsburgh posted its 11th straight home win on Saturday, a 5-3 triumph over Toronto that extended its point streak to six games (5-0-1) and moved it within one point of division-leading Washington. Evgeni Malkin has been on fire for the Penguins, collecting 12 goals and eight assists over his last 10 games while being kept off the scoresheet just once in that span. The 31-year-old Russian, who is a two-time Art Ross Trophy winner, is among the league scoring leaders and tops Pittsburgh with 69 points. |

02-18-18 | Devils +151 v. Hurricanes | 3-2 | Win | 151 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
p>Rating: 2 Units The Carolina Hurricanes attempt to shut down Taylor Hall and avenge a recent loss when they host the Metropolitan Division-rival New Jersey Devils today. Carolina, which is one point back in the race for the second wild card in the Eastern Conference, has dropped two straight games - including Thursday's 5-2 setback at New Jersey. The Hurricanes are in the midst of a stretch during which they play 11 of 12 at home and fell to 5-3-1 at PNC Arena in that span with Friday's 3-0 loss to the New York Islanders. Hall notched an assist in the Devils' 4-3 victory at Tampa Bay on Saturday to extend his point streak to 17 games. The 26-year-old left wing has collected 11 goals and 14 assists during his franchise-record run and leads the team with 61 points. New Jersey has won three in a row following a four-game slide and occupies the first wild-card spot in the East. |

02-18-18 | Wichita State v. Cincinnati -6 | 76-72 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units There’s some history between these two that dates to the early 60s, and the night in ‘63 when Wichita ended a long Cincinnati win streak (when Bearcats were the defending national champs) at the old Roundhouse as Dave Stallworth poured in 46 points, an effort regarded by oldtimers alongside Elvin Hayes’ 39 points vs. Lew Alcindor in the Houston/UCLA “Game of the Century” at the Astrodome in 1968. But this is 2018, not 1963, and though Shockers have started to resemble their recent Valley form with 3s starting to fall in recent games, doing so against snarling Cincinnati defense (55.9 ppg; behind only Virginia nationally) a different matter. Note Mick Cronin’s bunch has been handling point spread premiums in American play, covering 9 of first 12 vs. loop foes into Thursday’s game vs. Houston. In addition, Wichita State is just 1-4 ATS in its last five road games against teams with a home winning percentage of greater than 60 percent, while Cincinnati is 7-1 ATS in its last eight against teams with a winning SU record and 5-1 ATS in its last six at home. |

02-18-18 | Nebraska -1.5 v. Illinois | 66-72 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Big Dance seeking & streaking Nebraska (RPI of 51; six straight wins/covers!) strongly desiring to finish in 4th place in the Big Ten standings and gain a coveted double-bye in the upcoming conference tourney in the Big Apple. Therefore, have no hesitation in laying short price with struggling, offensively-choppy Illinois, which is a sorry 2-4 SU at home in the Big Ten. Huskers’ emerging 6-8 soph F Isaiah Roby has become an integral part of the increasingly-lethal attack, featuring legit Big Ten Player of the Year candidate, 6-6 jr. G James Palmer, Jr. (17.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 3 apg). NU seriously improves on its rim-clanging 5 of 23 shooting performance from deep in taut 64-63 home win in mid-January vs. Illini bunch, permitting 46.8% from the field (305th nationally). |

02-18-18 | Flyers -126 v. Rangers | 7-4 | Win | 100 | 2 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Philadelphia Flyers look to extend their point streak to eight games and continue ascending in the Metropolitan Division this afternoon when they visit the struggling New York Rangers. The Flyers, who suffered through a 10-game losing streak earlier this season, are 5-0-2 in their last seven outings after Sean Couturier’s goal clinched a 2-1 overtime victory at Columbus on Friday. The Rangers are fading out of the Eastern Conference playoff picture with seven defeats in the past nine games overall. New York, which is playing without four of its top seven defensemen due to injuries, fell 6-3 at Ottawa on Saturday afternoon for its third straight loss and sits five points out of the second wild-card spot. Philadelphia G Michal Neuvirth is 3-0-1 with a .946 save percentage since taking over for injured G Brian Elliott (lower-body). |

02-17-18 | Bruins -175 v. Canucks | 1-6 | Loss | -175 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Bruins have been inching closer to the Tampa Bay Lightning for the top point total in the NHL but face a rugged stretch when they open a five-game road trip at the Vancouver Canucks tonight. Playing away from home may not be an issue for the surging Bruins, who have won seven straight on the road as part of a 13-game road point streak. Boston has won 20 of its last 25 overall (20-2-3) to move within three points of the Lightning with three games in hand and is 11-0-2 away from home since its last regulation road loss on Dec. 4 at Nashville. Boston has a chance to pad its 16-5-4 road record against the Canucks, who have dropped six of their last seven and are next-to-last in the Western Conference. Vancouver gave up four first-period goals in a 6-3 loss at Boston on Oct. 19 as Patrice Bergeron made a splashy season debut with a four-point effort in what was an omen of things to come. |

02-17-18 | Utah -7.5 v. Washington State | 77-70 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Now that Utah has moved itself into threatening position on the Big Dance bubble, have no problem continuing to fade Wazzu, whose season peaked at the Wooden Classic during Thanksgiving week and has been in a steep descent since, with SU and spread losses in 11 of 12 in Pac-12 play into Thursday’s game vs. Colorado. Recent Cougar scorelines not competitive either (six straight DD losses into game vs. Buffs), heightening speculation that beleaguered HC Ernie Kent about to walk the plank, especially with a new AD in Pullman. Excellent Ute interior “D” will force WSU to fling from long range, while Long Beach transfer G Justin Bibbins (team-best 14 ppg) continues to provide Utah with a real spark. |

02-17-18 | Capitals -111 v. Blackhawks | 1-7 | Loss | -111 | 6 h 14 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Chicago, which last dropped nine straight games six years ago, was unable to hold a two-goal lead in Thursday's 3-2 loss to Anaheim -- its eighth consecutive defeat overall (0-7-1) and seventh in a row at home. The Capitals halted a two-game skid and extended their point streak to five games (3-0-2) behind superstar Alex Ovechkin, who had a goal and three assists in Thursday's 5-2 win at Minnesota. Tom Wilson scored twice against the Wild and also had two goals and two assists as Washington bludgeoned the Blackhawks 6-2 on Dec. 6. Capitals G Braden Holtby is 7-2-0 with a 2.21 goals-against average versus the Blackhawks. |

Rating: 2 Units Illinois State is 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss, and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games following a ATS loss. While Northern Iowa is 16-33-2 ATS in their last 51 games overall, 10-25-1 ATS in their last 36 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 7-19-1 ATS in their last 27 games after scoring less than 50 points in their previous game. |

02-17-18 | Oilers v. Coyotes +107 | 0-1 | Win | 107 | 2 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The cellar-dwelling Arizona Coyotes seek their first four-game winning streak of the season as they continue their season-high seven-game home stand this afternoon against the Pacific Division-rival Edmonton Oilers. Arizona, which sits in the league basement - three points behind Buffalo, also is riding a point streak that reached five games (4-0-1) with Thursday's 5-2 triumph over Montreal. Brendan Perlini scored twice in a 19-second span early in the second period for his second two-goal performance of the season and is one tally behind team leader Clayton Keller, who opened the scoring in the opener of the home stand with his 17th. Edmonton is only eight points ahead of the Coyotes as it dropped a 4-1 decision at Vegas on Thursday to extend its losing streak to five games, with four of the setbacks coming on the road. |

02-17-18 | Florida v. Vanderbilt +3 | 68-71 | Win | 100 | 2 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Though UF is currently an NCAA-at-large invite and Vanderbilt needs to win the SEC tourney for a Big Dance bid, would still give a nod to the hard-trying Commodores, who’ve won 4 straight in oddly configured Memorial Gymnasium. Note, Vanderbilt nailed 14 of 27 from downtown in thrilling, last-second 81-80 home win over dangerous Mississippi State in mid-week, while erratic-shooting UF canned only 38% from the floor in stunning 72-69 home OT loss to previously-reeling Georgia on the same day. Also, expect a “friendlier whistle” in Nashville after the Gators attempted 16 more foul shots in 81-74 home win back on Dec. 30th |
|||||||
02-15-18 | Hawaii v. Cal-Irvine -8 | 62-61 | Loss | -115 | 26 h 21 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hawaii’s challenge in the Big West fizzled on recent mainland trip when Rainbow Warriors lost at UCSB & Cal Poly, with the malaise carrying over to subsequent home loss to subpar UC Riverside. Offense short-circuited in losses to Mustangs and Highlanders, failing to hit 40% from floor vs. either. Not sure things get much better vs. defense-tough UCI, which looks to be ramping up for fast-approaching Big West Tourney in nearby Anaheim with wins and covers in four straight into last Saturday vs. UCR. Remember, Anteaters bludgeoned Hawaii on both occasions last season, and HC Russell Turner finding some offense in recent weeks from emerging soph G Evan Leonard, scoring 20 ppg in recent three-game stretch. |

02-15-18 | St. Mary's -9.5 v. San Francisco | 63-70 | Loss | -106 | 26 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In this old rivalry between Bay Area Catholic entries, dynamics not working lately for smallish USF, which hasn’t been within single digits vs. SMC since last season and was bludgeoned at Moraga by 36 on Feb. 1. Two weeks ago, USF had no answer for Gaels’ rampaging 6-11 Aussie C Jock Landale, who battered for 26 points in the paint, as SMC dominated glass by 44-29 count. Landale since scored 34 (vs. USD), and not even venue switch to the Hilltop can help host Dons overcome this fundamental mismatch on blocks. |

02-15-18 | Oregon State v. UCLA -8.5 | 68-75 | Loss | -106 | 26 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With UCLA desperately looking to move to the safe side of the Big Dance cut line, inclined to “lay it” vs. sliding OSU, which has dropped 4 straight (SU & vs. the line) ever since its 69-63 home upset over the Bruins on Jan. 18th. UCLA’s highly-effective duo of 7-0 sr. C Thomas Welsh & 6-1 jr. G Aaron Holiday especially juiced-up for rematch after combining for 8 of 23 from the field in the earlier tilt in Corvallis. Moreover, seriously doubt OSU can successfully slow the pace vs. the go-go Bruins, who’ve erupted for 82 points or more in 3 of the past 4 outings. |
|||||||
02-15-18 | Cincinnati -3.5 v. Houston | 62-67 | Loss | -106 | 22 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Though UH is fighting for 2nd place in the AAC, must still lend support to defensively-suffocating league front runner Cincinnati (56.1 ppg; 36.7% from the field; 2nd nationally in both categories) riding a 15-game win skein (prior to SMU on Feb. 11). Bearcats (RPI of 8) who have a real shot at a top 4 seed in the Big Dance—will continue to hound the Cougars’ primary weapon 6-2 sr. G Rob Gray Jr.(18.3 ppg), who knocked down only 4 of 15 from the field in his team’s come-from-ahead 80-70 setback at Cincy on Jan. 31st, when the Cougs blew an 18-point lead. So, have faith Mick Cronin’s nicely balanced Bearcats (5 average between 8 & 14 ppg) notch their 4th straight win/cover in series. |
|||||||
02-14-18 | Illinois State v. Bradley -8 | 58-70 | Win | 100 | 22 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Improved, postseason-seeking Bradley in chippy mood after its 12-game home win skein was snapped in 78-68 upset loss to Drake on Feb. 3. So, not adverse to laying single digits vs. ISU squad out to settle a score following 70-57 setback in Normal on in mid-January. Braves, who’re a noteworthy 10-1 vs. the spread at energizing Carver Arena, should extend that mark vs. a Redbird contingent, which is only 1-4 vs. spread on the MVC trail prior to trip to Valpo on Feb. 11. Bradley figures to shoot straighter from downtown after converting a season-worst 5 of 28 from deep in the earlier tilt. In addition, ISU’s instrumental 6-0 jr. G Keyshawn Evans (15.6 ppg, 3.4 apg) is sidelined 1-3 weeks with a knee injury. |
|||||||
02-14-18 | Missouri State v. Southern Illinois -3 | 80-81 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With SIU trying to keep within reach of MVC leader Loyola-Chicago, don’t mind laying a handful of points with surging Salukis, who’ve won 5 straight (4-0-1 vs. the number) through Feb. 7. SIU’s ever-improving 6-10 juco C Kavion Pippin (nephew of former Bull star Scottie Pippen; 12.2 ppg; 5.8 rpg; 33 blocks) will greatly neutralize MSU’s top gun 6-9 sr. Alize Johnson in the paint area. Meanwhile, the Salukis do everything 6-4 jr. G Armon Fletcher (14.3 ppg, 5.3 rpg, 30 steals; is the most versatile performer on this hardwood, so chances are the Bears drop to 1-6 last 7 vs. the spread on the MVC trail. |

02-14-18 | Valparaiso v. Loyola-Chicago -11 | 71-80 | Loss | -105 | 22 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The move from the Horizon to the Missouri Valley has proven a bit much for Valparaiso, which has yet to win SU in first seven on the road in its new league. Unlike days in the Horizon, Crusaders have been getting hammered mercilessly off glass in their new, tougher neighborhood, as MVC-leading Loyola proved in 70-54 road win on Jan. 21. Lack of reliable bench contributions (only three points in first meeting) another ongoing concern for Valparaiso, while Ramblers moving into possible Big Dance at large discussions with wins and covers in 9 of 10 into last Saturday vs. Indiana State. |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Kings +6.5 v. Mavs | 114-109 | Win | 100 | 8 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The off season can’t come soon enough for either of these teams, especially Dallas, as Mark Cuban’s “creative tanking” should net Mavericks a high draft pick and a chance to re-make the roster when properly cleared of excess salary. Until then, Mavericks might be hard to watch, especially with Harrison Barnes still nursing a bad ankle, and Dallas having lost 9 of last 11 SU into Golden State on Feb. 8. Kings already won once as a dog at Big D way back on Oct. 20, when now-departed George Hill led Kings with 21 points. Arrival of Iman Shumpert from Cavs at deadline (part of the Hill deal) at least prevents a net-loss for Sacramento, whose recent form hasn’t been too bad (4-3 SU last seven, 5-2 vs. line last eight, both thru Feb. 8). Dave Joerger still using a heavy-rookie starting lineup, but vets like Zach Randolph and Kosta Koufos remain to do heavy lifting for Sacramento |

02-13-18 | Blues v. Predators -140 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Nashville Predators goaltender Pekka Rinne silenced the St. Louis Blues earlier this season by recording a pair of victories after turning aside 63 of the 64 shots he faced. Rinne aims to keep the Blues under his thumb as the first-place Predators host their Central Division rival for the first time this season when they open a four-game homestand Rinne drew rave reviews from his teammates after helping Nashville improve to 10-1-3 in its last 14 games, making a season-high 47 saves and thwarting all three shootout attempts in Saturday's 3-2 win over Montreal. "He was there all night long, making these post-to-post ,cross-ice saves. |

02-13-18 | Hawks v. Bucks -7.5 | 92-97 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Bucks have caught a bit of an updraft since the return of Jabari Parker and won 7 of 8 SU into last Friday vs. Heat, albeit vs. a mostly-forgiving schedule. That latter dynamic, however, remains in place for visit of lowly Hawks, who while not an automatic go-against on the road (where indeed they have a winning spread mark) have still won only 5 of their first 26 SU away from Philips Arena thru Feb. 7. And not even home court could help Atlanta in first meeting back on Oct. 29, when the Greek Freak and Khris Middleton combined for 60 points in 117-106 Milwaukee cruise. |

02-13-18 | Devils v. Flyers -150 | 5-4 | Loss | -150 | 7 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While the Eagles overcame a switch at quarterback to win the Super Bowl, the Flyers seamlessly shuffled goaltenders as Michal Neuvirth turned aside 38 shots in place of the injured Brian Elliott (undisclosed) in Sunday's 4-1 triumph versus Vegas. The Flyers are 20-8-2 on the heels of their 10-game winless streak while the Devils' four-game losing skid dipped their mark to 5-11-3 since Dec. 29. Included in that stretch are losses in two of three meetings to Philadelphia. |

02-13-18 | Lightning -169 v. Sabres | 3-5 | Loss | -169 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units While Kucherov has posted six goals, eight assists and a plus-13 rating in 16 career games against the Sabres, Tampa Bay will seek a better defensive effort after allowing 15 tallies over their last four contests. The Lightning won the first meeting this season 2-0 on Nov. 28 at Buffalo, which will be without leading scorer Jack Eichel for the second straight game due to an ankle injury that will sideline him for at least a month. Buffalo had won two straight games before suffering a 5-4 loss to Colorado on Sunday and is just 7-16-4 on home ice this season. The Lightning have won the last five meetings, outscoring the Sabres 15-6 during that stretch. |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Heat v. Raptors -7.5 | 112-115 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Toronto was comfy enough with its current composition to stand pat at the deadline, which fellow East contenders Cleveland and Boston did not; we’ll see if the Raptors come to regret their relative inactivity. Meanwhile, Dwyane Wade has made a feel-good return to Miami with hopes of rekindling past glories, and his form in Cleveland has been good enough to suggest he can help the Heat. No matter, Toronto will be on alert after getting dumped by underdog Miami in Heat’s last visit to Air Canada Centre on Jan. 9, when Raps (minus Kyle Lowry that night) hit barely 38% from floor in bitter 1-point loss. Expect them to do a bit better in rematch, especially considering recent form that including three thumping wins and covers in a row on recent home stand into Feb. 8 game vs. Knicks |
|||||||
02-13-18 | Maryland v. Nebraska -1 | 66-70 | Win | 100 | 7 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With a five-point loss at Ohio State on Jan. 22 serving as its only blemish in over a month, Nebraska has won seven of its last eight to rise to fourth place in the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers improved to 13-1 at Pinnacle Bank Arena - 6-0 in conference action - following Saturday's 67-55 victory over Rutgers, putting them on the verge of their first 20-win regular season since 1992-93. Since its only signature victory of the season came in a 72-52 home rout of No. 20 Michigan on Jan. 18 and with no other resume-building opportunities remaining in the regular season, Nebraska would be well-served to win out to stay on the right side of the NCAA Tournament bubble. The Terrapins are coming off a 73-57 triumph over Northwestern on Saturday but have dropped six in a row on the road and are 1-7 away from home this season. |

02-13-18 | Oklahoma v. Texas Tech -7 | 78-88 | Win | 100 | 6 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sixth-ranked Texas Tech is experiencing a magical season and looks to retain its lead in the Big 12 when it hosts No. 23 Oklahoma today. The Red Raiders are 15-0 at home this season and hold a one-game edge over Kansas in the conference race as they look to avenge last month's road loss to the Sooners. Texas Tech's 21-4 start matches the second best in school history and the program is thriving in Chris Beard's second season at the helm. Oklahoma is sliding in the wrong direction with three consecutive setbacks and is coming off Saturday's 88-80 loss to last-place Iowa State. |
|||||||
02-12-18 | TCU v. West Virginia -5.5 | 66-82 | Win | 100 | 24 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units TCU looking like it could be victimized by ruggedness of the Big 12 as it inexorably slips closer and closer to the Big Dance bubble. Absence of key G Jaylen Fisher (knee) didn’t hurt Frogs in earlier 82-73 win over WVU at Fort Worth, but without their best assist man, Jamie Dixon’s offense has been less efficient in recent weeks. Recent panic in Morgantown after 1-5 Mountie skid in January now in rear-view mirror after impressive back-to-back wins over K-State and Oklahoma. |

02-11-18 | Jazz +3 v. Blazers | 115-96 | Win | 100 | 10 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Utah has won its last 6 on the road SU and covered 8 of its last 11 as a visitor, including recent SU wins at Toronto and San Antonio. That being said, the Jazz haven’t had much success at the Moda Center, losing 7 of their last 8 in Portland SU, dropping the last 4 against the number. However, this is the first meeting in Portland this season, and the Trail Blazers haven’t been nearly as good at home as they had in recent years, logging a 7-13-1 spread mark as host prior to facing Charlotte on Thursday. Jazz Gs Ricky Rubio and Donovan Mitchell combined for 58 pts. in Jazz OT win back on Nov. 1. |

02-11-18 | Bruins -154 v. Devils | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With their overall winning streak now a thing of the past, the Boston Bruins look to continue their road dominance when they visit the New Jersey Devils on Sunday. Boston had its string of overall wins snapped at four with Saturday's 4-2 loss to Buffalo but is riding a six-game road winning streak and is 10-0-2 away from home since falling at Nashville on Dec. 4. Brad Marchand leads the Bruins in scoring (52 points) and carries a six-game point streak during which he has collected three goals and eight assists into Sunday's contest. Boston is five points behind first-place Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division while New Jersey dropped out of third place in the Metropolitan and into the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference after suffering a 6-1 setback at Columbus on Saturday |
|||||||
02-11-18 | Knicks v. Pacers -8.5 | 113-121 | Loss | -105 | 6 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New York’s loss of PF Kristaps Porzingis was a major blow to a Knick team that already had more than its share of problems. Porzingis scored 40 pts. and had 6 blocks in his only appearance vs. the Pacers this season, which was a 108-101 Knick victory back on Nov. 5. Pacer PF Thad Young scored 19 ppg and shot 73% vs. the Knicks this season, and Indy made more than 50% overall in the series. Assuming Pacer G Victor Oladipo (24 ppg, 49% on the season) is over his illness, look for Indiana to pad its 27-19 mark the last 2 seasons as Bankers Life Fieldhouse chalk. |

02-11-18 | Bradley v. Southern Illinois -3.5 | 57-74 | Win | 100 | 4 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Missouri Valley has been a home-oriented loop this season; ask Bradley, just 1-5 SU and vs. line on Valley trail after last Wednesday’s loss at Northern Iowa. Meanwhile, surging SIU has just one spread L in last eight thru Feb. 7, including spread push vs. Braves at Peoria back on Jan. 9. Catalyst in recent Saluki uprising has been 6-10 juco Kavion Pippen (Scottie’s nephew), scoring 17.3 ppg last three into last Thursday vs. Illinois State, and providing vet HC Barry Hinson with a Valley rarity...a true back-to-the-basket threat in the post. |

02-11-18 | Cincinnati -7.5 v. SMU | 76-51 | Win | 100 | 4 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Recalling a pair of defeats last year vs. SMU, Cincinnati (which hasn’t lost SU since Dec. 9 vs. Florida) made sure to take care of business vs. Mustangs in 76-56 romp at temporary home of NKU’s BB&T Arena in nearby Highland Heights on Jan. 7. With only two spread Ls last nine, Mick Cronin’s Bearcats mostly handling heavy imposts in American play. Meanwhile, even with a neutral-floor win over Arizona and a success at Wichita State, SMU’s Big Dance at-large case has been damaged by recent losses to UConn and Tulsa, as Mustangs having trouble getting above .500 in AAC. Note that snarling Cincinnati “D” has held American foes to 56 points or fewer in 8 of first 10 loop games |

02-11-18 | Cavs +5 v. Celtics | 121-99 | Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This grudge match might get even more ugly after Kyrie Irving’s social media post showed him laughing at a house burning down after the Cleveland-Laker trade shook up the trade deadline. Irving will have to step up his game against the Cavs, however, as he shot just 42% and scored only 16.5 ppg as the two teams split the first two (although the Celtics covered both). Prefer to take a lead with refreshed, new-look Cavs, who are 4-2 as a road dog, the only category in which they’ve had a winning mark. |

02-11-18 | Pistons -3.5 v. Hawks | 115-118 | Loss | -106 | 4 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Detroit had Saturday off to shake off trade revenge game against the Clippers, and win or lose, would favor Piston side that looked much-improved on acquisition of PF Blake Griffin. Detroit has won 4 of 5 against the Hawks over the past 2 seasons, including a 105-91 victory in most recent encounter, which was played in Atlanta. Griffin had 26 pts., 10 rebs. and 10 assists in his only game against the Hawks this season, while C Andre Drummond had 39 boards in the two Detroit wins against Atlanta this season. . |

02-11-18 | Red Wings v. Capitals -167 | 5-4 | Loss | -167 | 3 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Red Wings hope to stay on the fringe of the playoff race in the Eastern Conference as the Capitals continue to solidify their spot atop of the Metropolitan Division. Washington finished a sweep of a home-and-home series with Columbus on Friday with a 4-2 victory after it had dropped five of the previous seven games (2-3-2). The Capitals are 5-0-1 in the last six meetings, including a 4-3 overtime win at Detroit on Oct. 20. |

02-11-18 | Louisville -11 v. Pittsburgh | 94-60 | Win | 100 | 1 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units When these two teams met back on Jan. 2 in Louisville, the Panthers were 8-6 on the season and had gone 7-2 in their previous nine games. But Louisville, led by Quentin Snider's 19 points, routed Pitt 77-51 and the Panthers haven't won since, putting them in the midst of the longest losing streak in school history. That win kicked off Louisville's 6-2 start to conference play. Louisville is on an 11-game win streak against Pitt and leads the all-time series 15-5. |

02-10-18 | Spurs v. Warriors -10.5 | 105-122 | Win | 100 | 8 h 49 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units These two Western powers are both leaking a little oil of late. Golden State is just 1-3 SU in its last 4 and have covered only 2 of its last 9 games prior to facing Dallas on Thursday. San Antonio is 3-3 SU and 2-4 vs. the number in its last 6. The Warriors have held the upper hand against the Spurs, winning 6 straight with a 5-1 spread mark dating back to March last year and including a series sweep in last year’s playoffs. Look for that trend to continue, especially with F Kawhi Leonard still out with a quad and PG Dejounte Murray joining him on the sidelines. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Wizards -6 v. Bulls | 101-90 | Win | 100 | 7 h 23 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Have little interest in backing Chicago side that was win less in its last 7 and had dropped 6 straight spread decisions prior to facing Minnesota last night. Rested Washington, conversely, shook off its 1-9 spread run by covering 5 of its last six, as G Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr., and Markieff Morris have stepped up to replace output of injured PG John Wall. The Wizards have taken the last 4 vs. Chicago SU, and the Bulls have been outscored 112-102 in their last 5 games, shooting just 39% in that negative streak. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Blackhawks v. Wild -146 | 0-3 | Win | 100 | 7 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Locked in a battle for the second wild card in the Western Conference, the Wild coughed up a three-goal lead in a 4-3 loss to the Coyotes, although they managed to run their point streak to 11 games (8-0-3). Today's matchup is the opener of a three-game road trip for the Blackhawks, which might not be a bad thing given their head-scratching struggles on home ice. Chicago arrives in Minnesota mired in a four-game losing streak (0-3-1) and having dropped six in a row at home to remain anchored in the Central Division cellar. Chicago has scored first in eight of its last nine games, including all four contests during the current skid, but is 2-5-2 in that span. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Wyoming +6.5 v. UNLV | 70-85 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UNLV probably feeling a bit cocky after midweek upset win at Nevada when Wolf Pack missed injury Mountain West MVP contender wing Caleb Martin. But crisp-executing Wyoming the sort of team to exploit Rebels’ lack of discipline, as big Cowboy wings 6-7 Justin James (18.7 ppg) & 6-8 Hayden Dalton (17.4 ppg) can cause some matchup problems on perimeter for UNLV HC Marvin Menzies. Note that before that Wednesday upset in Reno, money-burning Rebs had covered the number in just one of previous twelve games! |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Cleveland State v. Illinois-Chicago -11 | 86-78 | Loss | -100 | 8 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Cleveland State is 6-15 ATS in their last 21 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, 10-25-2 ATS in their last 37 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, and 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While Illinois Chicago is 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games overall, 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record, and 21-7 ATS in their last 28 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Predators -130 v. Canadiens | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Central Division-leading Nashville carries a 9-1-4 mark in its last 14 games into the Bell Centre to face Montreal, which has seen a rare spark from its 27th-ranked offense as it has scored 12 goals during its last three games. Predators G Pekka Rinne owns a 7-2-2 mark with two shutouts, a 1.42 goals-against average and .949 save percentage in 11 career encounters versus the Canadiens. |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Pelicans v. Nets +2.5 | 138-128 | Loss | -108 | 6 h 30 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Orleans was just 1-4 SU and vs. the number in its first 5 games playing without injured C DeMarcus Cousins, and Brooklyn has been a big winner as an underdog (27-15 vs. the points). The Pelicanx defense suffered with Cousins sidelined, as they gave up 115 ppg and 48%, up sharply from seasonal averages. NO played last night in Philly, while the Nets are rested and have covered 14-7-1 since late December and 8-4-1 vs. the number in its last 13 at the Barclays Center. 1 |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Pepperdine v. Loyola Marymount -4.5 | 79-85 | Win | 100 | 6 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In this battle between LA-area WCC rivals, it’s looking a lot like last season when LMU avenged a bitter 1-point loss at Malibu with a 21-point home romp past Pepperdine. Well, Waves scored another win by the same score as last year (71-70) over the Lions on Jan. 25 at Firestone Field House when Pep frosh G Trae Berhow nailed a long 3-pointer in the last second, but that was also Waves’ only SU win since Dec. 5 as the walls begin to close in around beleaguered HC Marty Wilson. LMU not doing much better the past month, but did recently knock off BYU at Gersten Pavilion and has been competitive on more nights than Pepperdine. Lions HC Mike Dunlap still getting good production from juco PG James Batemon (17.4 ppg). |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Rutgers v. Nebraska -9 | 55-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With injury-plagued, offensively-inept Rutgers (65.8 ppg; 327th) needing a GPS device to locate the basket these days, must lay the lumber with hot Nebraska, which has a real shot at Big Dance at-large bid with a strong finish in Big Ten play. Huskers—who’ve found a reliable fourth scoring option in emerging 6-8 sophomore F Isaiah Roby—are a highly-profitable 10-1 vs. the spread in conference play, including 60-54 victory at Rutgers in late January. And Scarlet Knights unable to quickly make up an expected deficit in Lincoln, canning a meager 4.5 treys pg (350th) at 30.2% (340th). |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Auburn -4 v. Georgia | 78-61 | Win | 101 | 2 h 55 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Since offensively-stodgy & erratic-gunning UGa (68.7 ppg; 42.7% from the floor) unable to gain any real traction in SEC play, believe SEC leader Auburn can sweep series after being swept by the Dawgs in 2016-17. Tigers, who still have a shot at a top four seed in the Big Dance despite 81-80 home loss to surging Texas A&M on Wednesday, figure to crash the boards with more ferocity after being out-rebounded by the Aggies 33-22 in the 1-pt. setback. And AU can afford to double-team UGa’s premier weapon F Yante Mateen if necessary, since the Dawgs convert only 5.9 triples pg (309th) at a rim-clanking 32% (310th). Plus, you can expect an inspired effort from the Tigers’ dangerous 6-3 jr. G Bryce Brown (16.6 ppg; poured in 28 in 1st meeting), who hails from Stone Mountain, Georgia |
|||||||
02-10-18 | Loyola-Chicago v. Indiana State +3.5 | 75-71 | Loss | -109 | 2 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Loyola Chicago is 23-7 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up win, 30-12-1 ATS in their last 43 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and 40-17 ATS in their last 57 games following a ATS win. While Indiana State is 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games overall, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 vs. Missouri Valley, and 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Oilers v. Ducks -135 | 2-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 24 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Anaheim Ducks have recorded at least a point in 14 of their last 20 games (12-6-2) to remain in the mix for second place in the congested Pacific Division. The Ducks look to continue to push forward today when they host the Edmonton Oilers in the latter's first trip to the Honda Center since losing Game 7 of their epic second-round series in last year's playoffs. Anaheim has won six of its last seven at home while Edmonton has dropped five of its last seven on the road. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Wolves -7 v. Bulls | 113-114 | Loss | -107 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bulls are in the midst of a seven-game losing streak (1-6 ATS) and struggling big time without guard Kris Dunn who remains out with a concussion and note that they traded Nikola Mirotic to the New Orleans Pelicans last week. The Timberwolves are 4-1 ATS in their last five games following a straight up loss and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games playing on one days rest. They've covered the spread in four straight meetings with the Bulls and this will be a special game for Minnesota's Jimmy Butler who will pay his first visit to the United Center as a member of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Butler has averaged 22.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists and should lead the Wolves to a comfortable win. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Penguins v. Stars -113 | 3-4 | Win | 100 | 9 h 60 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Penguins will be tested by the Stars, who knocked off Chicago 4-2 on Thursday and have outscored their last four opponents by a total of 16-5. All-Star center Tyler Seguin scored twice in the victory over the Blackhawks and has posted at least one in four straight contests to push his team-leading total to 28 while reaching 50 points. Ben Bishop turned aside 37 shots in Thursday’s triumph, but coach Ken Hitchcock told reporters after the game that backup Kari Lehtonen (9-5-1) would get the call between the pipes against the Penguins. The Stars have won five of the last six meetings with the Penguins. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Blues v. Jets -153 | 5-2 | Loss | -153 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Winnipeg Jets are rolling along with points in eight straight games (6-0-2) and they get a key player back in the lineup tonight when they host the Central Division-rival St. Louis Blues. Center Mark Scheifele, who is still fourth on the team in scoring despite missing the last 16 contests with an upper-body injury, will return to top-line duty as Winnipeg tries to extend its home point streak to 11 games. Scheifele (15 goals, 38 points) has skated on a line with Patrik Laine and Blake Wheeler this week, giving the Jets another offensive weapon on a team that ranked fifth in the league entering Friday at 3.22 goals per game. The Jets have won seven of the last eight meetings. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Pacers v. Celtics -4 | 97-91 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boston, which added C/PF Greg Monroe to shore up its front line, played last night in Washington. The Celtics have actually been a positive play at home when unrested, covering 12 of 19 chances over the past 3+ seasons. Boston has won 5 straight against Indiana, covering 4 of those meetings, and return to action of Celtic PG Kyrie Irving is a major relief to HC Brad Stevens. Irving scored 28 ppg and shot 54% in two meetings with the Pacers this season, and injury to Pacer PG Darren Collison will likely mean inconsistent Lance Stephenson will have to defend Kyrie. Boston 6-3 L9 laying single digits at home. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Minnesota v. Indiana -6.5 | 56-80 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Shorthanded Minnesota is possibly down three starters with the most recent injury to 6-5 jr. G Dupree McBrayer (leg; check status). So, must “lay it” with the profitable Hoosiers (7-2 vs. spread last 9 in Big Ten play) eager to get back to .500 in Big Ten play. Once again, the laboring Gophers will have no answer for IU’s dynamic duo of 6-8 jr. F Juwan Morgan (16.8 ppg, 7.3 rpg) & 6-3 sr. G Robert Johnson (13.4 ppg, 4.5 rpg), who combined for 48 points in their 75-71 upset win in Minneapolis in early January. “Costly” & defensively-lax Minnesota, which is a lowly 2-7 vs. the spread last 9 in league play, has yielded a whopping 76 points or more in 8 of L9 in the Big Ten! |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Blue Jackets v. Capitals -134 | 2-4 | Win | 100 | 8 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Columbus Blue Jackets are mired in a four-game skid and their latest loss, coming at the hands of a division rival, was described by coach John Tortorella as a "kick in the stomach." Columbus gets a chance to avenge that defeat when it hits the road for a rematch against the Metropolitan-leading Washington Capitals tonight. The Blue Jackets dominated the first leg of the home-and-home set with Washington, only to give up the go-ahead goal in the final minute of a 3-2 setback to match their longest losing streak of the season. Blue Jackets G Sergei Bobrovsky has lost five straight to the Capitals, dropping his record against them to 6-9-4 with a 3.07 goals-against average. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Pelicans v. 76ers -4.5 | 82-100 | Win | 100 | 6 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Orleans rode PG Jrue Holiday’s 34 pts. to a victory (and a narrow cover) back on Dec. 10. Philly “big” Joel Embiid sat that game out with a back injury, and Pelican star C Boogie Cousins, who had 23 pts. and 9 boards in first meeting, has since been sidelined for the season. With Embiid playing at an all-star level, expect the Sixers to turn the tables on New Orleans. Philadelphia has covered 6 straight as Wells Fargo Center chalk, so have no problem laying the points with a Sixer team that has climbed to 4th in the league in efficiency differential. |
|||||||
02-09-18 | Columbia v. Yale -4.5 | 84-88 | Loss | -100 | 7 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Yale is 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400. While the favorite 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. In addition, Columbia is 4-14 ATS in the last 18 meetings and 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Yale. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Golden Knights -105 v. Sharks | 5-3 | Win | 100 | 10 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units San Jose begins play 10 points behind Vegas with 29 games remaining for both clubs. The Sharks hit home ice after having dropped three of five on its latest road trip but are 17-7-3 on home ice. Goalie Martin Jones sports a 9-4-2 mark at home, as opposed to 6-9-3 on the road. as for Jones' opposite number, Vegas' Marc-Andre Fleury, he continues his rebirth despite giving up five goals in his return to Pittsburgh in his last game. The 14-year veteran is 15-5-2 with a 1.99 GAA, .935 save percentage and two shutouts on the season. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Stars -114 v. Blackhawks | 4-2 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Stars currently sit in 4th place and would be in the playoffs if they started today. A +27 goal differential seems to confirm Dallas being legit. They've gone 7-2-1 the L10 games, allowing an average of just 1.8 goals per. In the past three games, they've outscored the opposition 12-3. They've allowed exactly one goal in five of their previous seven contests. Chicago is still w/o Corey Crawford and that's beginning to take its toll. Both Anton Forsberg and Jeff Glass have been inconsistent as replacements and have combined for an 8-12-6 SU mark. The team is now 0-3 SU to start February, having allowed 10 goals. They were just swept in a home and home by Calgary. Facing an opponent w/ a winning record, the 'Hawks are only 7-16 SU this season. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Predators -140 v. Senators | 3-4 | Loss | -140 | 8 h 41 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Nashville Predators will have their sights set on first place in the Central Division when they continue their four-game road trip Thursday against the Ottawa Senators. Nashville pulled within one point of Winnipeg for the top spot in the division today, when they overcame a two-goal deficit in Toronto before falling 3-2 in a shootout. The Predators bring a five-game road point streak (3-0-2) into the Canadian capital and are 9-1-3 in their last 13 overall contests. They will face the Senators without second-leading scorer Filip Forsberg (38 points), who will finish serving the three-game suspension he received for interference against the New York Rangers on Saturday. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Green Bay v. Wright State -13.5 | 64-68 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Wright St. Raiders are 11-1 at home this season, and 10-2 against 8-5 opponents. At home the Raiders are averaging 66.9 scoring, and holding teams to 56.7 points scored on defense. While the Green Bay Phoenix are 0-11 while on the road this season, 5-8 against conference opponents, and 5-8 against non-conference opponents. On the road, the Phoenix are averaging 68.5 scoring, and holding teams to 82.4 points scored on defense. In addition, the favorite is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Flames -108 v. Devils | 3-2 | Win | 100 | 7 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Calgary completed a home-and-home sweep of the Chicago Blackhawks with a 3-2 victory on Tuesday, posting its first victory in the Windy City since March 2008 to improve to a Western Conference-best 14-5-5 on the road. New Jersey, which is one point behind Pittsburgh for second place in the Metropolitan Division with three games in hand, has lost eight of 10 (2-5-3) to the Flames following a 5-4 shootout loss at Calgary on Nov. 5. |
|||||||
02-08-18 | Hawks v. Magic -1 | 98-100 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Home team has won last four in this series as the sides have split those matchups, though Atlanta covered the first two clashes this season. To back Hawks again, might want to make sure PG Dennis Schroder is beyond last week’s shoulder injury. Even if he’s okay, however, there is a case for Orlando, playing better lately and on an 8-1 spread uptick into February. Plenty of flaws on Atlanta side; Hawks played some decent defense for a stretch in early January, but remain the team that has seen the biggest increase (by a wide margin) in points allowed per 100 possessions |
|||||||
02-07-18 | NC State +6 v. Virginia Tech | 75-85 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units North Carolina State looks for its fourth straight win as it visits Virginia Tech in an important matchup tonight. The Wolfpack are tied for fifth and hold a one-game lead over the Hokies in the crowded ACC standings as both teams need all the wins they can get down the stretch to improve their NCAA Tournament resumes. N.C. State is playing its best basketball of the season and is fresh off a dominant 76-58 victory over Notre Dame where the Wolfpack shot 50 percent and allowed their second-fewest points against this season. |
|||||||
02-07-18 | Bruins -130 v. Rangers | 6-1 | Win | 100 | 8 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bruins, who have climbed within three points of league-leading Tampa Bay in the Atlantic Division, edged Detroit 3-2 on Tuesday to extend their road point streak to 11 games (9-0-2, including five straight wins) and improve to 13-1-2 away from home since falling in Anaheim on Nov. 15. New York continues to squander opportunities to climb into a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference as it has lost three in a row and six of its last seven. Tuukka Rask has been a major factor during Boston's amazing run, going 19-0-2 in his last 22 appearances (21 starts). The 30-year-old Finn has allowed fewer than three goals in each of his last seven starts and has yielded more than three just once since giving up four in the November loss to the Ducks. Brad Marchand, who is tied for the team lead with 50 points, will return to the lineup as well. |
|||||||
02-07-18 | Valparaiso v. Evansville -3.5 | 59-63 | Win | 100 | 6 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The move to the Missouri Valley has not been an easy one for Valparaiso, which was able to physically wear down opponents in the lesser Horizon. That recipe, however, isn’t working in the rougher Valley, as the Crusaders have been getting hammered consistently off the glass, something that rarely happened in their old neighborhood and hampered Valparaiso in home loss to Evansville (which won board battle 42-34) on Jan. 24. Purple Aces will be glad to get physical again vs. Crusaders, who also will have problems containing host’s on-fire G Ryan Taylor (20.4 ppg), who had scored 22 or more in three straight (all E’ville wins, including 22 in first meeting) into last Saturday vs. Illinois State. Valparaiso win less SU (0-5) on Valley trail into last Saturday at SIU. |
