---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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. |

02-07-18 | Wake Forest v. Miami-FL -8.5 | 81-87 | Loss | -105 | 5 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With back-to-back victories over Pittsburgh and Virginia Tech, Miami played its way back into the Coaches Poll at No. 25. Now the Hurricanes, who have won four of their last five, have to work hard to remain there, beginning with Wednesday's visit from Wake Forest, which has lost seven straight in the state of Florida. Wake has yet to beat a ranked team this season and is winless in its last 20 road matchups with ranked opponents. That doesn't bode well against the Hurricanes, who have made their home court a real advantage with 35 wins in their last 38 games, including an 8-1 mark at the Watsco Center this year thanks to outscoring its opponents by an average of 16.2 points per game. Miami is set up for a strong stretch run to the postseason with five of its final eight games at home. |

02-07-18 | Marquette v. Seton Hall -6 | 88-85 | Loss | -102 | 5 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Life in the Big East with a young team is proving difficult for Marquette, which plays a conference game at Seton Hall. The Golden Eagles have lost four straight games including the last three at home and face an uphill battle the rest of the way with five of their final seven contests on the road starting with the Pirates, whom they beat by 20 points last month. In their most recent loss to Providence, the Golden Eagles were 0-of-8 from beyond the arc in the second half and received only seven points from Andrew Rowsey, who was coming off his first scoreless game of the season. |

Rating: 2 Units The Wizards though have flat out struggled in this spot at times for bettors this year, interestingly going just 10-14 ATS against poor defensive teams which allow 106 plus points per contest. The 76ers on the other hand have been “money in the bank” in this position, going 14-8 ATS at home this season and 20-13 ATS in their last 33 when playing with two days of rest. |

Rating: 2 Units The Milwaukee Bucks are winners of six of seven games since moving on from head coach Jason Kidd, but an injury to superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo could spell doom for the club. However, The Bucks hope to have Antetokounmpo available when they visit the struggling New York Knicks today. New York dropped its last three games and six of the last eight after squandering a late lead in a 99-96 home setback to lowly Atlanta on Sunday. |

02-05-18 | Bulls v. Kings -2.5 | 98-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units That Bulls uptick for much of December and January now looks a memory as Chicago endured a rough patch at the end of January, losing five in a row SU and failing to cover the last four of those (some by hefty margins) into February. Chicago will be selling at trade deadline and put Nikola Mirotic on the shelf before dealing him to the Pelicans, but more could be on the move before next Thursday. The same might be said of Sacramento, where some of the Kings’ vets (George Hill in particular) could also be targeted. Interesting angle worth noting is that Sacramento entered February 10-2 in games it led entering the 4th Q, and Kings just completed a 3-3 trip to the South, so there is some life at Golden 1 Center. Sacramento also owns a win over Chicago back on Dec. 1 at United Center when Kings shot 53% from floor, though that was before Mirotic reappeared and Bulls began an uptick...all now in the rear view mirror. |

02-04-18 | Eagles +4.5 v. Patriots | 41-33 | Win | 100 | 29 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Patriot Super Bowl wins have come by 3 pts, 3 pts, 3 pts, 5 pts, & 6 pts, with the latter 2 the result of unbelievable play calling by their opponents, in the dying seconds, the first when the Seahawks decided to throw into a crowd on 2nd-&-goal from the 1-foot line in the final half minute, eschewing Marshawn Lynch (pick), & the latter, in last year's blowing of a 28-12 lead in the 4th, by the Falcons, who opted for a pair of deep drop back passes on short yardage situations, after an incredible "game-winning" catch by Julio Jones. The Pats' 2 Super Bowl losses both came vs the Giants, & their brilliant defenses, along with stunning game-winning receptions. Before the loss of franchise QB Carson Wentz, these 2 seemed headed for this meeting. Well, it has unexpectedly come to pass, with Foles under center. Belichick has again built a squad with all the right pieces: Brady, Gronkowski, Amendola, etc. No question that the Patriots are the standard. Best QB & HC in history of the league. Year-after-year. But the Pats could be 7-0 in Super Bowl appearances, but just as easily could be 0-7. The underdog stands at 8-1-1 ATS in this year's NFL Playoffs. I'm calling for the upset. Eagle "D" is the edge |

02-04-18 | Temple -2.5 v. Tulane | 83-76 | Win | 100 | 20 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Temple off upset of Wichita State on Thursday following its well-played 85-67 romp over UConn. Hence, would “invest” on the revenge-minded Owls, who hit a season-worst 4 of 21 from deep in their 85-75 home upset loss to Tulane in the AAC opener on Dec. 28th. Owls, who subsequently covered at Houston and pulled off big upset at SMU, should even the series vs. an erratic Tulane contingent, which barely escaped in 71-69 OT win at also-ran East Carolina on Wednesday. Watch for a high-impact showing from Temple’s usually-steady 6-10 sr. F Obi Enechionyia, who canned a season-worst 1 of 9 from the field in the first clash |

02-04-18 | Grizzlies +11 v. Raptors | 86-101 | Loss | -107 | 1 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Toronto was just 1-4 vs. the number last 5 at home prior to hosting Portland on Friday, and Memphis has been on fire against the number since Boxing Day, logging a 13-4 spread mark in its last 17 after close loss at Detroit Thursday. Grizzlies were leaning on swing man Tyreke Evans, who scored 19.5 ppg, grabbed 5 rebs., and dished 5 assists, but he’s on the move and reportedly won’t play for the Grizzlies again while whatever trade is arranged. Memphis C Marc Gasol (18 ppg, 9 rpg) was enjoying the support, but PF JaMychal Green is expected to return to action this weekend. Raptors might be caught looking ahead to hosting Boston on Tuesday. Raptor Gs DeRozan (42% L10Gs) and Lowry (38% L10) on a cold shooting run despite DeRozan’s player of the month award for January |

02-04-18 | Bucks -5 v. Nets | 109-94 | Win | 100 | 1 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks picked on the Brooklyn Nets in recent years, a trend they will try to maintain when the teams clash in New York on Sunday afternoon. The Bucks have won nine in a row over the Nets - including four straight on the road - and Antetokounmpo was unstoppable in a 116-91 rout of Brooklyn a little over a week ago. The 23-year-old All-Star had 41 points on 14-of-20 shooting to go along with 13 rebounds and seven assists in that meeting, one of four double-doubles he has recorded in the past five games. The latest was a 29-point, 11-rebound performance and the decisive layup with 1.9 seconds left in Friday's 92-90 home win over New York, Milwaukee's fifth victory in six games since firing head coach Jason Kidd. |

02-03-18 | Mavs v. Kings +5 | 106-99 | Loss | -108 | 10 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Sacramento is 6-2 SU and 7-1 vs. the points in last 8 against Dallas, including a 93-88 defensive tussle on Oct. 20. King PG George Hill had 21 pts. on 9 of 12 shooting in that victory, the only win in the Kings’ miserable 1-8 SU start to the season. Sacramento had a massive 57-36 edge on the boards that night, and youngsters De’Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield weren’t even making the major contributions they are now. Fox scored 14 ppg and dished 5.2 assists in January, while Hield is shooting 48% (42% on treys) over his last 5 games. Kings, who played Golden State last night, have been relatively unaffected |

02-03-18 | Pelicans v. Wolves -8 | 107-118 | Win | 100 | 9 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units New Orleans is coming off a game last night in Oklahoma City, while rested Minnesota had the night off after hosting Milwaukee Thursday. The Timberwolves have won 10 straight home games, covering the last 8 games played at the Target Center. HC Tom Thibodeau’s Minnesota side is a triple-headed offensive beast, with G Jimmy Butler 24 ppg in his L6Gs), F Andrew Wiggins (20 ppg L10) and C Karl-Anthony Towns (20 ppg, 12 rpg this season). New Orleans had given up 113 ppg in last 5 prior to visiting run-and-gun OKC last night, while the Timberwolves have held last 8 visitors to the Target Center to 99.7 ppg. |

02-03-18 | Rockets -3 v. Cavs | 120-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston G James Harden had a triple double in Nov. 9 meeting in Houston, with his 35-11-13 night besting LeBron James’ effort (33-4-7). There’s little percentage in backing Cleveland, which is just 15-35 against the number, has covered just 4 of its last 23 games, has just one more SU win than Miami and Indiana, and finds itself in a dogfight for home court position in the playoffs. The Rockets have the second-best record in the NBA. Houston began its four-game road trip with a 102-91 win at San Antonio on Thursday behind another stellar effort from All-Star guard James Harden. |

02-03-18 | Vanderbilt v. Auburn -11.5 | 81-93 | Win | 100 | 6 h 50 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Auburn has won four in a row following its only setback in conference play, a five-point loss at Alabama on Jan. 17, and opened a two-game lead in the SEC with its 79-70 win at Mississippi on Tuesday, coupled with Florida's loss to Georgia. Bryce Brown is averaging a team-high 16.6 points per game for Auburn and will look to string together back-to-back 20-point games for the first time this season. The 6-3 junior shooting guard scored 23 against Mississippi on 9-for-16 shooting from the floor. |
|||||||
02-03-18 | Nevada -11.5 v. Colorado State | 76-67 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The slope could be a bit slippery for MW leader Nevada at Moby Arena, where CSU us usually capable of plotting a trap. But not sure Rams up to it now after all-out effort fell short in OT at midweek vs. border rival Wyo. Moreover, CSU has been down its top two scorers (G Nixon with ankle, G Paige with hand) in recent games, and distractions mounting in Fort Collins with HC Larry Eustachy apparently being fitted with a noose by administrators. Would rather not touch Rams at moment, and much prefer percolating Wolf Pack, off of back-to-back 100-point eruptions (though double OT helped in recent trip to Wyoming), and all starters scoring 16 or more in Wednesday’s explosive 102-92 win over dangerous Fresno. |
|||||||
02-03-18 | Clemson -2 v. Wake Forest | 75-67 | Win | 100 | 2 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Clemson clearly demonstrated it can win a marquee game sans the services of injured 6-8 sr. F Donte Grantham in its headline-grabbing 82-78 home upset victory over North Carolina on Tuesday. And don’t expect the Tigers to suffer from any letdown after Wake Forest pulled off a 76-72 upset win over Florida State on Wednesday. But seriously doubt the Deacons can knock off nationally-ranked, defensively-stout Clemson (65.8 ppg; 41.2% from the floor; 5.6 bpg),which had seven different players nail a 3-ball vs. the Tar Heels. Look for Tigers’ clutch 6-3 jr. G Macquise Reed to take over the game in crunch time as he did for Roy Williams’ troops vs. a WF contingent, which is only 2-4 SU last 6 in Lawrence Joel Coliseum. |
|||||||
02-03-18 | Memphis -7.5 v. East Carolina | 85-88 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Memphis, which is in the hunt for a top four finish in the AAC (and first-round bye in at the upcoming conference tourney), is placing extra importance in this winnable game with juggernaut Wichita State on deck. So, more than willing to lay a short price vs. offensively challenged & often-careless ECU (65.4 ppg; ranked 331st; 311 in TO margin), which lacks much come-back ability, nailing a paltry 5.1 triples pg at a horrific 27.3% (351st). Tubby Smith’s Tigers—who’ve covered 4 straight as chalk—owns one the league’s most improved players in the AAC in sizzling 6-3 jr. G Jeremiah Martin (18.3 ppg TY; 10.3 LY), who’s surpassed the 20-point plateau in 4 of his last 5 outings. Additionally, UM’s productive 6-8 jr. F Kryon Davenport (12.7 ppg, 6.5 rpg) quickly establishes his post game vs. Pirates’ vulnerable forecourt, missing shelved 6-10 sr. F Jabari Craig (out for year with foot injury). |

02-03-18 | Missouri State v. Loyola-Chicago -8 | 75-97 | Win | 100 | 1 h 19 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Unable to develop reliable secondary scoring options beyond do-everything 6-9 sr. F Alize Johnson (15.3 ppg & 11.5 rpg; only DD scorer on team), Missouri State’s fortunes have taken a dip since New Year’s, winning just twice SU and failing to cover a number in last eight games. Before Bears season turned south, they did win a close verdict vs. Valley front runner Loyola before Xmas. But Porter Moser’s revenge-fueled Ramblers have made much better progress since, recently on a 7-game SU win streak, and having developed admirable balance with five DD scorers, led by on-fire former Iowa State transfer G Clayton Custer (scored 20+ in last two games) |

Rating: 2 Units The Detroit Pistons are mired in an eight-game losing streak and shook things up in a big way by acquiring Blake Griffin from the Los Angeles Clippers. It is unknown whether or not Griffin will make his club debut in Tuesday's home against the Cleveland Cavaliers but the Pistons will be counting on the five-time All-Star to help spring a turnaround. Meanwhile, Cleveland is seeking its first three-game winning streak since mid-December and had dropped 10 of 13 games before beating the Indiana Pacers on Friday and posting a 121-104 win over the Pistons on Sunday in the front end of the home-and-home set. The Cavaliers won the past three meetings by an average of 25.7 points. |

Rating: 2 Units Chicago has won both of first 2 meetings with Milwaukee by similar scores, upsetting the Bucks twice as a medium dog. Bull PFs Nikola Mirotic and his former sparring partner Bobby Portis have combined for 37 ppg and 18 rpg against Milwaukee this year. It would help the Bull cause if PG Kris Dunn can recover from his concussion, as he’s missed the last 3 games through Jan. 25. Dunn scored 18.5 ppg and shot 55% vs. the Bucks this season, and Chicago HC Fred Hoiberg wouldn’t mind if Giannis Antetokounmpo rested his balky knee, as the “Greek Freak” scored 28.5 ppg on 63% shooting while pulling down 11.5 rpg in first two in series. |

01-28-18 | Suns v. Rockets -13.5 | 102-113 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Houston has toyed with Phoenix the last few seasons, winning 6 straight and 13 of the last 15, with an 11-4 spread mark. The Rockets are rested and have a healthy back court again, and every win is crucial if they are to catch defending champ Golden State. Houston was just 2 games behind the Warriors prior to Thursday’s action, and the pace at which Phoenix plays is just what the doctor ordered for the Rockets to succeed. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | San Diego State v. UNLV | 78-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 53 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It’s not like the old days for SDSU, whose new HC Brian Dutcher has junked Steve Fisher’s patient offense and has the Aztecs (scoring nearly 80 ppg!) running these days, reflected again in 97-point explosion at midweek vs. CSU. Better news is that recent minor injury to key G Trey Kell didn’t keep him out of Wednesday’s win over Rams, when Kell played 26 minutes. Meanwhile, UNLV not similarly progressing under cool guy HC Marvin Menzies, who has watched Rebs fail to cover a staggering ten straight games (0-9-1). |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Nets +10.5 v. Wolves | 97-111 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 58 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Minnesota G Jimmy Butler has missed time nursing a knee injury, as he sat out three straight and was iffy for Golden State Thursday. Brooklyn was 11-2-1 vs. the number prior to visiting Milwaukee last night, and playing the 2nd of back-to-back games has been a profitable situation for the Nets this season, as Kenny Atkinson’s team has covered 6 of 9 when unrested. The Timberwolves have been a poor home favorite the last few seasons (26-37-1 L3Ys), and Brooklyn is a snazzy 24-11-1 vs. the points as a dog this season. The Nets out-rebounded and outshot Minnesota in 98-97 Brooklyn win on Jan. 3, overcoming not only Butler’s 30 points., but 19 turnovers of their own. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Iowa v. Nebraska -3.5 | 84-98 | Win | 100 | 8 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With coming Nebraska (RPI in low 60s) seeking to be in the conversation of the NCAA Tourney Selection Committee, willing to lay single digits vs. defensively-lax Iowa (76.4 ppg, 44.7% from the field), which hasn’t strung together back-to-back quality efforts in the Big Ten so far. Hawkeyes, who were able to efficiently run their half court attack vs. struggling, slowish Wisconsin on Tuesday, will be afforded few uncontested looks vs. defensively-sticky Huskers (68.5 ppg; 41.5% from the floor). Moreover, anticipate more formful shooting from NU’s terrific back court tandem of 6-6 jr. James Palmer Jr. & Glynn Watson Jr., who combined for 11 of 29 from the floor in their grinding 60-54 victory at improved Rutgers. Hustling Huskers 10-1-1 last 12 vs. the spread. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Hornets v. Heat -4 | 91-95 | Push | 0 | 7 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Terrible spot for the Hornets here as they're coming off a 121-110 triumph against the Hawks Friday night. Charlotte is 1-4 ATS in its last five games playing on no rest and 2-8-1 ATS in its last 11 games following a straight up win (4-10-1 ATS its last 15 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points). |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Tennessee v. Iowa State +2.5 | 68-45 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tennessee raced out to a 17-point halftime lead and held on for a 67-62 win against the Commodores. Bowden scored 19 points and tied a career high with five 3-pointers after entering the night shooting 25 percent in conference games. However, Tennessee can’t take Iowa State lightly, as the Cyclones enter having won their last five games against top-25 non-conference teams at Hilton Coliseum. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | TCU -3.5 v. Vanderbilt | 78-81 | Loss | -108 | 4 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units TCU (lofty RPI of 16) seeking to avoid any bad losses and secure a good seeding in the Big Dance. So, would favor the happening Horned Frogs, benefiting from ego-boosting 82-73 home upset win over West Virginia on Monday. Vanderbilt lives and dies from the 3-point line, but the Commodores won’t outgun high-octane, good-passing TCU (87.3 ppg; 6th nationally; 20 apg; 2nd), which cans 9.2 triples pg at a solid 40.6%. Vanderbilt's perimeter game took a hit with loss of key 6-5 wing Matthew Fisher-Davis out for the season with a shoulder injury. Plus, the Commodores ill-equipped to slow down the Horned Frogs’ highly-effective 6-11 sr. F Vladimir Brodziansky (15.4 ppg, 80% from foul line), while 6-7 sr. G Kenrich Williams (14.4 ppg; 42% from the 3-point line) is a matchup nightmare. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Virginia +3.5 v. Duke | 65-63 | Win | 100 | 2 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Something has to give here as the irresistible force (Duke’s nation’s leading scoring offense at 91.7 ppg) meets the immovable object (Virginia’s nation’s best 51.6 ppg scoring defense). Measured vote for the ‘Hoos, as Tony Bennett’s patient style and smothering defense has routinely jammed the gearbox on the Blue Devil attack in recent years, with several lower scoring match ups. Bennett getting reliable offense from emerging soph G Kyle Guy, scoring better than 15 ppg (very good for a Bennett offense) and canning 43% beyond arc. Points should work with UVa. |
|||||||
01-27-18 | Ole Miss +6 v. Texas | 72-85 | Loss | -115 | 2 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In this SEC-Big 12 Challenge clash, must side with dangerous Ole Miss. Though UT has done a commendable job compensating for the loss of star G Andrew Jones (leukemia), believe his absence will be exploited by a G-heavy Ole Miss squad, which has covered 3 straight as an underdog, including outright upsets over Florida and Arkansas. Rebels’ smooth 6-2 sr. G Deandre Burnett (15 ppg; 38 triples at 41%) ending his career with a bang, while emerging soph G Breein Tyree (10 ppg) has greatly improved his marksmanship, nailing 39% from the arc after only 29% from distance in SEC games a year ago. Longhorns, nailing a poor 30.5% from deep (331st), only 12-14 as home chalk since 2015-16. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Colorado State +14 v. San Diego State | 78-97 | Loss | -105 | 25 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Rams are 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a straight up loss. While Rams are 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings. In addition, the underdog is 3-1-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings and the road team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Air Force +9 v. Utah State | 49-71 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Credit Air Force HC Dave Pilipovich for scheming the Falcons into several recent competitive efforts, including a shock win at CSU last Wednesday. But maybe we shouldn’t be surprised, as the Force took a 5-game cover streak into last Saturday vs. Fresno, as Falcons getting big efforts from a variety of sources (G Trevor Lyons scored 22 in upset at Fort Collins; soph F Ryan Swan 19 in recent win at San Jose; soph F Lavelle Scottie scored 26 in near-miss vs. UNLV on Jan. 10). Meanwhile, Utah State appears headed in opposite direction, with defensive deficiencies exposed in recent 3-game MW losing streak. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Temple +14 v. Cincinnati | 42-75 | Loss | -105 | 23 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Bearcats built upon the longest active home winning streak in the country with an emphatic 86-60 triumph over East Carolina, and look very much like a team that isn't ready to see that run come to an end. It hasn't even mattered that Cincinnati has had to play its home games at Northern Kentucky University's BB&T Arena while Fifth Third Arena undergoes extensive renovations; the Bearcats have won all 10 games played there so far this season, and have won their first three American Athletic Conference home games by an average of 26.7 points. They'll look to continue that red-hot run against an Owls team that has won two straight games, and nearly pulled off an upset in a 55-53 loss to Cincinnati back on Jan. 4. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Raptors v. Hawks +6 | 108-93 | Loss | -105 | 21 h 52 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Toronto Raptors are likely looking forward to a long stretch loaded with home games, but they first must get past an improving Atlanta Hawks team on the road today night. The Raptors, who are 17-3 at home, will play 10 of 13 in Air Canada Centre beginning with Friday's matchup against Utah, and they hope to head to Toronto on a good note. Their two-game road trip began with a 115-109 loss at Minnesota on Saturday, the squad's fourth loss in seven contests following a 17-3 run. Toronto won its first two against Atlanta by an average of 23.5 points, but the Hawks are on their best run of the season with four victories in six games, the latest a 104-90 triumph over the Jazz on Monday. Dennis Schroder had 20 points as Atlanta improved to 3-2 on its current six-game home stand. |
|||||||
01-24-18 | Jazz v. Pistons -2 | 98-95 | Loss | -105 | 20 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Jazz still minus Rudy Gobert and losing contact with the edge of the West playoff picture (Utah was five games out of 8th place as of Jan. 18). This stretch vs. middling opposition might be Utah’s last chance to climb into the playoff picture, and if they’re hanging on fringe of race into February, could pull the trigger on a deal (Niko Mirotic from Bulls is one reported target). Detroit, however, was actually in an East playoff position at mid January, and only four teams have a bigger home-road NetRtg differential than the Pistons, who have been 8.8 points per 100 possessions better at home than on the road. Good news for Detroit, then, that it’s currently in a stretch of 13 of 15 at friendly Little Caesars Arena, where Pistons have beaten Spurs and Rockets in recent weeks. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Michigan State v. Illinois +11.5 | 87-74 | Loss | -108 | 8 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Fighting Illini are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Monday games and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS loss. While the Spartans are 3-8-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings versus the Illini. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Blazers v. Nuggets -3 | 101-104 | Push | 0 | 5 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver will be especially motivated to atone for a 108-100 setback to lowly Phoenix in its latest action. Jamal Murray had 30 points, including going five of eight from range in the loss to the Suns. Even though the Blazer have a three game win streak that three-game win streak includes victories over light weights Phoenix, Indiana and Dallas. Note that over its last nine games Portland has won three straight, lost three straight and then won three straight again. Additionally the Blazers are just 3-4 ATS already this year after playing three consecutive home games, while the Nuggets are 4-3 ATS this season off an upset loss as a favorite and 6-4 ATS vs. the division. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Kansas State +5 v. Baylor | 90-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It would have been easy for Bruce Weber's Wildcats, who lost starting point guard Kamau Stokes indefinitely to a foot injury, to fold up after the 73-72 loss to the No. 10 Jayhawks which ended with junior guard Barry Brown missing a potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. But Kansas State bounced back three nights later with a 87-69 blowout of No. 6 Oklahoma and then followed that up Saturday with a 73-68 victory over 25th-ranked TCU. The Wildcats now must avoid a letdown when they travel to Waco to face a Baylor squad that is smarting and tied for the Big 12 cellar after blowing a six-point lead in the final 2:50 of a 70-67 loss at first-place Kansas on Saturday night. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Wizards v. Mavs +2 | 75-98 | Win | 100 | 5 h 56 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Dallas owning Washington lately vs. Wiz the way the Cowboys have been beating the Redskins the past couple of years. Mavs won their third straight in series (all as a dog!) when rolling comfortably by 14 at Cap One Arena on Nov. 7, a night in which Scott Brooks’ bunch was at full strength with John Wall and Bradley Beal each scoring 23, but unable to keep pace with Dallas and Harrison Barnes, who scored 31. Mavs continue to offer great spread value, on an 18-8 spread run into Jan. 20 vs. Blazers, while erratic Wiz were working on a 7-game spread skid into last Friday’s game at Detroit. Washington notorious for playing to level of opposition...and sometimes it bites Wiz. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Bulls v. Pelicans -6.5 | 128-132 | Loss | -102 | 5 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins both finished with over 20 points against Memphis but they were able to let Holiday be the go-to guy for much of the night and the star tandem finished with a combined 26 shots - nearly 10 below their norm. Davis had 27 points and 16 rebounds and Cousins recorded 25 and 11 in a win at Chicago on Nov. 4. |
|||||||
01-22-18 | Jazz -2.5 v. Hawks | 90-104 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utah Jazz have struggled to score points all season, but enter the start of a three-game road trip Monday at the Atlanta Hawks following one of their best offensive performances. Rookie Donovan Mitchell continued his emergence with 23 points in Saturday’s 125-113 victory over the Clippers, helping the Jazz set season highs in points in a quarter (39) and a half (76) despite missing guard Rodney Hood due to a leg injury. The Jazz are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up win of more than 10 points and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings versus Atlanta. |
|||||||
01-21-18 | Vikings v. Eagles +3.5 | 7-38 | Win | 100 | 52 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Philly managed just one lone TD in their upset of the onrushing Falcons, with standing a last-second defeat, via a questionable incompletion on the game's final play. That one snapped a Philly 4-game playoff losing streak, also marking the Eagle's first postseason win, while scoring less than 16 pts. And Philadelphia is also 4-0 as a playoff home dog. Foles last week: 23-of-30, which is huge. The last 8 AFC/NFC title games have been won by the home team. Site cannot be overstated. Eagles! |
|||||||
01-21-18 | Nets +6 v. Pistons | 101-100 | Win | 100 | 5 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Brooklyn snapped a three-game skid with a 101-95 triumph over Miami its last time out. The Nets are 5-0 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win, 4-0 ATS in their last four road games overall and 13-6 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. They'll be seeking revenge for a 114-80 loss to the Pistons home in Brooklyn on Jan 10. and are a solid 19-11 ATS in revenge spots this season. The Pistons are 3-13-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400 and once again asked to cover too many points here IMO, particularly the way they've played of late. |
|||||||
01-21-18 | Jaguars v. Patriots -7 | 20-24 | Loss | -105 | 48 h 16 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This one marks their 7th straight AFC title game, & not only that, but New England has also won 7 straight home playoff games, with their last host slip up coming in the 2012 title loss to the eventual Super Bowl champ Ravens. Last week, they outscored the hopeful Titans, 35-7 after the first quarter (35 unanswered points). Tom: 35-of-53 for 337 yards, & 3/0 (TDs to INT ratio). By the way, that marked his 10th career postseason game with at least 3 TD tosses, passing Joe Montana for the most in NFL history. He wasn't sacked by the Titans, & rarely hurried, while the Pat "D" set a franchise record with 8 sacks of Tennessee QB Mariota. Have held 11 of their last 13 opponents under 18 points, while currently on a 9-1-1 ATS run. |
|||||||
01-21-18 | Magic v. Celtics -10.5 | 103-95 | Loss | -105 | 2 h 54 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Eastern Conference-leading Boston Celtics hit a bit of a snag recently with losses in back-to-back home games and need a win over the visiting Orlando Magic today to avoid being swept on the three-game home stand. The Magic are sitting at the bottom of the East and are losers of eight of nine after a comeback effort fell just short at Cleveland on Thursday. Boston coach Brad Stevens called out his team's effort on the offensive end after Thursday's 89-80 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but guard Marcus Smart would like to see the team put in a better effort on both sides of the court. The Magic don't have an offensive big man in the middle with Nikola Vucevic (broken hand) out but still managed to knock off Minnesota on Tuesday and battle all the way back from a 20-point halftime deficit in Thursday's 104-103 loss to the Cavaliers. Boston took the first two meetings this season by an average of 15.5 points. |
