01-28-16 | Hawks +3 v. Pacers | 92-111 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 47 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Indiana 7:00 ET Hawks (+) over Pacers- Both these teams are off 2-points losses as the Hawks dropped their encounter last night to the Clippers 85-83 while Indiana has dropped their last three including a loss the the Clippers 91-89 on Tuesday. Atlanta had won four straight in the series before the Pacers won a 93-87 home win in late December. The Pacers have hit a rough patch where they have now lost six of their last seven with their only win over the Phoenix Suns. I still believe the Hawks are a little better and will prevail tonight. Take the HAWKS! |
|||||||
01-28-16 | Nuggets +6.5 v. Wizards | 117-113 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Denver at Washington 7:05 ET Nuggets (+) over Wizards- The Washington Wizards are just not the same team without shooting guard Bradley Beal who has missed 20 games and he once again is expected to miss his second consecutive game tonight against Denver. The Wizards a playoff team last season have lost four of their last five and a are now out of the playoff hunt at 11th place in the East. Denver has also dropped four of five and are off a loss at Boston last night. This game should play close as the Nuggets get the money. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
01-28-16 | Cincinnati +2 v. Connecticut | 58-57 | Win | 100 | 8 h 15 m | Show | |
Cincinnati at Connecticut 7:00 ET Bearcats (+) over Huskies- Both these clubs have an added advantage in the AAC because the league best team (SMU) in not eligible for the post season due to sanctions. The Huskies are off their third straight win a victory over rival Georgetown and hold a 5-1 series advantage in games at the XL Center in Hartford. Cincinnati is 15-6 on the year but has lost four games by two points with their lone defeat in their past five games a double-overtime failing at Temple. UConn is still without center Amida Brimah and his absence will be felt tonight. Take CINCINNATI! Â Â |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Hornets v. Jazz -5.5 | 73-102 | Win | 100 | 11 h 33 m | Show | |
Charlotte at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (-) over Hornets- Charlotte is coming off a double-overtime 129-128 win at Sacramento Monday one week after they had defeated the Jazz at home in double-overtime 124-119. Utah has dropped three of their last four but now they have their big man Derrick Favors back after a 16-game absence and he helps. The home team has won each of the last four meetings with the Jazz holding a 12-10 home record this season and the Hornets just a 6-15 road record. Take UTAH! |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Baylor v. Oklahoma State +2.5 | Top | 69-65 | Loss | -106 | 12 h 40 m | Show |
Baylor at Oklahoma State 9:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Bears- Both these clubs enter this contest off losses with Oklahoma State having lost five of their last six with the first loss coming at Baylor 79-62. The Cowboys who won both meetings last year has 11 players averaging at least 12 minutes per game. The Bears are just 5-8 ATS in lined games this season and the Cowboys are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games. Two trends that conflict is that the favorite is 13-5-1 ATS in the last 19 meetings but in those same 19 meetings the home team is 14-4-1 ATS. Take the home dog...take OKLAHOMA STATE! Â Â |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Clippers +4 v. Hawks | 85-83 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Atlanta 8:00 ET Clippers (+) over Hawks- I've been 'burned' by the Clippers during their 12-3 streak without Blake Griffin and now they will be without him for at last another four weeks. Los Angeles who pulled off another victory at Indiana last night has lost six in-a-row at Atlanta but now has the NBA's best 3-point shooter and they have the league top field goal shooter in DeAndre Jordan who is at 71.4 percent for the season. The Hawks return home after a much needed win at Denver Monday night. This time the fall short. Take the CLIPPERS! Â |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Suns v. Cavs -16.5 | 93-115 | Win | 100 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Phoenix at Cleveland 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Suns- I really do hate laying these kind of points but I see the Cavaliers in a spot to run out the lowly likes of the Phoenix Suns. To start with the visitor is 4-19 straight-up on the road while the Cavaliers are 17-3 at home. Cleveland under new head coach Tyronn Lue dropped their first contest and then rebounded with a win over Minnesota Monday but have yet to 'cover' a number under their current leader. This time out they win and cover as double-digit favorites. Take CLEVELAND! |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Auburn v. Ole Miss -5 | 63-80 | Win | 100 | 10 h 46 m | Show | |
Auburn at Mississippi 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Rebels- Mississippi opened is SEC schedule with two wins and after Saturday's loss at Mississippi State have dropped their last four conference games. The Rebels problems stem from the fact that the SEC leading scorer Stephen Moody is out along with their leading rebounder Sebastian Saiz who had eye surgery last week. Ole Miss has won six straight games at home against Auburn and are 12-5 in their last 17 meetings. But, Bruce Pearl will have the Tigers ready here after a raod loss on Saturday. Take AUBURN! |
|||||||
01-27-16 | Temple v. East Carolina +6 | 61-64 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show | |
Temple at East Carolina 7:00 ET Pirates (+) over Owls- The Temple Owls are starting to come around as the defeated previously unbeaten SMU Sunday and have raised their AAC record to 5-2. These two clubs met earlier this season and the Owls ran the Pirates out easily 78-60 but East Carolina has shown that they can surprise you like their 84-83 win Sunday over Memphis. That was the first conference win (1-6) for the Pirates who are 7-3 at home and enter this contest with more confidence while the Owls will be ready for a letdown. Take EAST CAROLINA! |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Mavs v. Lakers +7.5 | 92-90 | Win | 100 | 15 h 34 m | Show | |
Dallas at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET Lakers (+) over Mavericks- Byron Scott has started playing his youngsters more minutes and the improved play have started to show. Although Los Angeles has lost six straight and nine of 10 they will have a well rested Kobe Bryant as the Mavericks enter LA off two losses of their own as they have lost six of 10. Dallas has won nine straight in the series but Golden State up next they might get caught peeking ahead here. Take the LAKERS! |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Kings +4 v. Blazers | 97-112 | Loss | -105 | 14 h 2 m | Show | |
Sacramento at Portland 10 :00 ET Kings (+) over Trailblazers- Sacramento has been very good to 'us' this season as they always seem to achieve good things when 'we' have them. The Kings have won their last five road games against the points as well as their last five games overall. The Trailblazers have won the last three meetings but are in trouble tonight. Coaching and 'Diva' players are getting it done in Sacramento. Take the KINGS! |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Tennessee v. Alabama -4 | Top | 57-63 | Win | 100 | 13 h 56 m | Show |
Tennessee at Alabama 9:00 ET Crimson Tide over Volunteers- We were rewarded when the Volunteers downed South Carolina on Saturday will Alabama was dropping a 72-70 decision home to LSU. Tennessee was very excited to defeat the ranked Gamecocks and must now take to the road where they have play well of late but just not against the Tide as Alabama is 14-5 ATS in the last 19 meetings. I'm traveling today so I'm making things short and sweet. Take ALABAMA! |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Georgia +6.5 v. LSU | 85-89 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show | |
Georgia at LSU 9:00 ET Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- I know and understand that LSU has one of the most impressive and dynamic players in college basketball as Simmons is expected to be one of the one and done players that don't go to Wisconsin. The Tigers are fresh off a 72-70 win at Alabama and have No. 1 Oklahoma in a National TV game Saturday on deck. I understand that this is a conference game and LSU should be ready but they still must have thoughts of the Sooners on their mind. Take GEORGIA! |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Xavier v. Providence | 75-68 | Win | 100 | 13 h 35 m | Show | |
Xavier at Providence 8:30 ET Musketeers over Friars- Providence is off one off their biggest wins in recent Big East history as they defeated Villanova in overtime a very rare victory in that series. Xavier is a fantastic 17-2 while Providence is a surprising 17-3 and yet are an underdog in this contest. The Musketeers are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall and the Friars are 7-2 ATS in their last nine Big East games. Providence can play but they could be flat after that emotional win over the Wildcats on Sunday. Take the MUSKETEERS! Â |
|||||||
01-26-16 | Wizards +8 v. Raptors | 89-106 | Loss | -102 | 12 h 41 m | Show | |
Washington at Toronto 7:30 ET Wizards (+) over Raptors- The Raptors are on one their their longest franchise winning streaks in years and they are off a thumping over the L.A. Clippers and now host the inconsistent Washington Wizards who were blown out at home by the Celtics. With Bradley Beal leading the way I expect a uge effort out of the Wizards and a possible outright upset win. Washington who plays better on the road then at home is 5-0 ATS in their last five road games and are 7-1 AST in the last eight meetings. Take WASHINGTON! |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Spurs +5 v. Warriors | 90-120 | Loss | -104 | 11 h 2 m | Show | |
San Antonio at Golden State 10:30 ET Spurs (+) over Warriors- The Golden State Warriors are 20-0 at home on the season and are 40-4 overall and yet they have just a 2-game lead over San Antonio. The Spurs come to Golden State on a 13-game winning streak and believe it or not they have a better point differential (+14.5) then do the Warriors (+12.1) and that is because their scoring defense is the best in the NBA at 89.8 points per contest. Golden State has won 38 straight at home going back to last season but San Antonio is 55-9 against the Warriors since Tim Duncan's rookie season. Take SAN ANTONIO! Â |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Hawks -5 v. Nuggets | 119-105 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Denver 9:00 ET Hawks (-) over Nuggets- It seems a bit strange to me that a team (Atlanta) has lost each of their last eight visits to Denver and yet come up a decent favorite on the road here. The Hawks have dropped their last two including a loss to the Suns. Atlanta will have Paul Millsap back after missing the Suns game because of his grandfather's funeral. Look for the Hawks to spread their wings here. Take the HAWKS! Â |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Pistons +2 v. Jazz | Top | 95-92 | Win | 100 | 10 h 40 m | Show |
Detroit at Utah 9:00 ET Pistons (+) over Jazz- The much improved Pistons defeated the Jazz 114-94 last March for their first win in Utah since November 2002. Utah had their Saturday night game at Washington cancelled and has had four days rest. The Jazz has lost four of their last six and a bit beat-up and their 27th ranked offense will continue to struggle against the Pistons big man Andre Drummon who leads the league in rebounds and double-doubles. Detroit has dropped their last two and will be ready tonight. Take the PISTONS! |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Kansas +2 v. Iowa State | Top | 72-85 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
Kansas at Iowa State 9:00 ET Jayhawks (+) over Cyclones- These two met three times last season with Iowa State winning twice including the Big-12 Championship game as they have split the past six meetings. Kansas through it all has managed to win 11 straight regular-season conference titles and lead the all-time series 177-62 and had won 18 of the previous 19 meetings before the last six meetings. The Jayhawks have lost their last two on the road while the Cyclones are 9-1 at home. Iowa State did defeat No. 1 Oklahoma last Monday but will end up disappointed tonight. Take KANSAS! |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Penn State +8.5 v. Ohio State | 46-66 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 11 m | Show | |
Penn State at Ohio State 7:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Buckeyes- Ohio State had a disappointing result after fighting No. 22 Purdue down to the final buzzer Saturday while Penn State lost at home to Wisconsin their fourth home loss in their last five encounters as hosts. Neither of these clubs are likely to make it to the 'Big-Dance' as they are both tied for 10th in conference action in defensive scoring although Penn State is 9-1 when holding opponents below 70 points. These two schools are at ablout the same level and the points are worth taking. Take PENN STATE! Â Â |
|||||||
01-25-16 | Duke v. Miami (Fla) -3 | 69-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Duke at Miami-FL 7:00 ET Hurricanes (-) over Blue Devils- Last season Duke ended as the National Champions but had a stop in Miami that they would rather forget when the Hurricanes blew them out 90-74. The Blue Devils are 3-3 in ACC play and rebounded from a rare three-game losing streak as they are just 7-4 since forward Amile Jefferson injured his foot. The Hurricanes behind coach Jim Larranaga has held 10 of its last 11 opponents 66 points or fewer as 7-0 senior center Tonye Jerkiri patrols the paint. In not so much of a surprise we'll take MIAMI-FL. Â |
|||||||
01-24-16 | Syracuse v. Virginia -9.5 | 65-73 | Loss | -114 | 9 h 43 m | Show | |
Syracuse at Virginia 7:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Orange- Two weeks ago Syracuse was 10-7 and still were without head Jim Boeheim who was still serving a nine-game suspension and now they have a six-game winning streak after defeating Duke on Monday. Virginia has had a bounce-back of its own ending Clemson's five-game winning streak on Tuesday after losing three-of-four. The Cavaliers are 2-0 against the Orange since they joined the ACC and will post another win tonight. Take VIRGINIA! |
|||||||
01-24-16 | Clippers +2 v. Raptors | 94-112 | Loss | -103 | 9 h 5 m | Show | |
L.A. Clippers at Toronto 6:05 ET Clippers (+) over Raptors- The two hottest teams in the NBA face off in Toronto when the Raptors who have won seven straight host the Clippers who have won 12 of their last 14. Three of the Raptors wins came against bottom feeders Brooklyn (twice) and Philadelphia. Los Angeles bounced back after a loss at Cleveland to crush the Knicks Friday night and they are 5-0 ATS when playing on one day's rest. It is surprising with Toronto on their winning streak and the fact that the Clippers are 6-15 ATS in the ;ast 21 meetings that the line is so small. Take L.A. CLIPPERS! Â |
|||||||
01-24-16 | USC v. Oregon State +2 | Top | 70-85 | Win | 100 | 5 h 53 m | Show |
Southern California at Oregon State 3:00 ET Beavers (+) over Trojans- USC has won 10 of its last 12 and are coming off a loss at Oregon Thursday night after having defeated Arizona and UCLA. The Trojans who are ranked for the first time since 2008 have won 15 games after failing reach double-digit wins last season. USC is doing it with 3-pointers as the lead the APC-12 with 163 made and they rely on the long shot. The Beavers have lost their last three and will be without senior back-up forward who was suspended for tripping a referee, but, they have beaten USC six straight at Gill Coliseum. Take OREGON STATE! |
|||||||
01-24-16 | Providence v. Villanova -12.5 | 82-76 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 57 m | Show | |
Providence at Villanova 1:00 ET Wildcats (-) over Friars- Villanova enters this contest with nine straight wins overall and has won 22 straight Big East games while 16-3 Providence defeated Butler their last time out. These two clubs met three times last season with the Wildcats winning all three with the closest a two-point win in the Big East tournament. The Friars are undefeated (4-0) in true road games but the extra day lay-over because of the snow will not help their cause. I expect a big win here out of the home team. Take VILLANOVA! |
|||||||
01-23-16 | Arizona State +2.5 v. Stanford | Top | 73-75 | Win | 100 | 13 h 7 m | Show |
Arizona State at Stanford 11:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Cardinal- Boy, this number looks a little short to me home comes Arizona State losers in five of their last six including their last two. The Cardinal have split their last six and are off a wallop by Arizona after beating California as this is their third straight home game. The worst of it for the Sun Devils is that they are just 3-9 ATS in their last 12 meetings including 1-7 ATS before 2014. Stanford is just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 in PAC-12 play. Take ARIZONA STATE! Â Â |
|||||||
01-23-16 | Pistons v. Nuggets +3 | Top | 101-104 | Win | 100 | 22 h 28 m | Show |
Detroit at Denver 9:30 ET Nuggets (+) over Pistons- The Pistons are going through some growing pains as they are able to run out Golden State and then turn it around and getting run out by New Orleans the last time out. Denver has dropped two straight at home but has finished close enough to get the money both times. The home team have been good in this series winning the last four in the series. The Nuggets or is it Denver has a away of wearing down opponents. Take DENVER! |
|||||||
01-23-16 | Bucks +5.5 v. Pelicans | 99-116 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 6 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:00 ET Bucks (+) over Pelicans- The Bucks are off a game Friday night at Houston and stop in New Orleans to finish their four-game road trip started with two wins. Although Milwaukee is just 2-7 ATS in the last mime meetings but they are 5-0 ATS in their last five games overall while New Orleans is 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. The Pelicans has struggled against the East going 1-6 ATS and fall short again tonight! Take the BUCKS! Â |
|||||||
01-23-16 | Oklahoma State +6 v. Kansas State | 73-89 | Loss | -105 | 8 h 17 m | Show | |
Oklahoma State at Kansas State 7:00 ET Cowboys (+) over Wildcats- Oklahoma State has put a charge into their season after four straight conference losses they pounded No. 1 Kansas 86-67. For this alone I should be against them and here I find myself looking for them to upset the Wildcats who are off losses to West Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Iowa State and Baylor and are pretty beat-up mentally at this time. Oklahoma State is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games. The home teams have dominated this series winning 16 of 21. Tis time it's the COWBOYS! Â Â Â |
|||||||
01-23-16 | UCLA v. Oregon -8 | 72-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 26 m | Show | |
UCLA at Oregon 4:00 ET Ducks (+) over Bruins- The Oregon Ducks at one time were ranked as high as No. 16 but two quick losses to UNLV and Boise State knocked them form the top 25. UCLA has defeated three ranked teams but has been inconsistent all season. The Ducks have managed to stay unbeaten at home and at 12-0 as hosts. The Ducks are 12-3 ATS in their last 15 home games and the Bruins are just 7-12 ATS on the season. These two have alternated 'covers' in their series the past six games and it's Oregon's turn. Take the DUCKS! Â |
|||||||
01-23-16 | West Virginia v. Texas Tech +4 | 80-76 | Push | 0 | 14 h 36 m | Show | |
West Virginia at Texas Tech 1:00 ET Red Raiders (+) over Mountaineers- Bob Huggins must be a desperate man as his locking his team out of the gym routine was answer with a second straight defeat and this time at home to Texas. Texas Tech has surprised us a few times this season and they carry a 9-2 home record (1-2 Big-12) into this affair and they have yet to beat a ranked team. Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith has enough to spring an upset here. Don't be surprised. Take RED RAIDERS! |
|||||||
01-23-16 | Oklahoma v. Baylor +2 | 82-72 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 42 m | Show | |
Oklahoma at Baylor 12:00 ET Bears (+) over Sooners- It's been five straight wins for the Bears since they were destroyed by Kansas and now they have another chance at another No. 1 and they are off a loss. The crazy thing about the Sooners is that they are 2-12 ATS in their last 14 Big-12 conference games. Although, Baylor is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 Saturday games Oklahoma is 23-9-2 ATS in the last 34 meetings. The hopes to be that this Baylor team is more mature as they split last year's meetings and are 2-2 ATS in the last four. Take BAYLOR! Â Â |
|||||||
01-23-16 | South Carolina v. Tennessee +1.5 | Top | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 13 h 39 m | Show |
South Carolina at Tennessee 12:00 ET Volunteers (+) over Gamecocks- The Volunteers had reeled-off six-straight covers in the series until South Carolina's 60-49 win as dog in their last meeting. After a crushing loss at Alabama the Gamecocks have bounced back with two wins over Missouri and Mississippi. The trends are strongly behind the 'Birds' as they are 16-5 ATS in the last 21 games overall and the Volunteers are 7-18-3 ATS in their last 28 home games. Frank Martin is 5-16 on the SEC road and the Vols have dropped 3-of-4 and are just 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight. So, I ask you why is this number so cheap...Take TENNESSEE! Â Â |
|||||||
01-22-16 | Bucks +3 v. Rockets | 98-102 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Milwaukee at Houston 8:00 ET Bucks (+) over Rockets- The Bucks have won their past three including the last two on the road over Charlotte and Miami. The 'Glitter-Boys' from Houston continue to play only one end of the floor as they have surrendered 263 points in their last two defeats while Milwaukee's improvement can be seen through their defense which has held their last three opponents to 90.7 points. Houston has won the last four games in this series but these Rockets just don't blastoff anymore. Take the BUCKS! |
|||||||
01-22-16 | Jazz v. Nets +5.5 | 108-86 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Utah at Brooklyn 7:35 ET Nets (+) over Jazz- The Utah Jazz are a long way from home and didn't catch a break in their first two game of their four game road trip as they lost in overtime twice, first a double-overtime loss at Charlotte on Monday and then a 118-111 overtime loss against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. Utah has now lost four-of-five while Brooklyn as dropped four consecutive games and all by double-digits. The Jazz are still without power forward Derrick Favors and the Nets are in direr need of a good performance. Take BROOKLYN! |
|||||||
01-22-16 | Clippers v. Knicks +2 | Top | 116-88 | Loss | -108 | 9 h 45 m | Show |
L.A. Clippers at New York 7:35 ET Knicks (+) over Clippers- The Clippers had their 10-game winning streak stopped by Sacramento last Saturday and have now dropped two-of-three after last night beating at the hands of the Cavaliers. With one streak gone I saw another one ending tonight as the Knicks look to end a six game slide against the Clippers. New York is 2-0 on their current home stand and a win tonight will put the Knicks over .500 on the season. Last season the Clippers crushed the Knicks 111-80 at Madison Square Garden and this time around a 'different' Knicks team will extract some measure of revenge with a win tonight. Take NEW YORK! |
|||||||
01-21-16 | Grizzlies v. Nuggets +2.5 | Top | 102-101 | Win | 100 | 10 h 4 m | Show |
Memphis at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis is off a 5-1 winning home stand that began with a 91-84 victory over the Nuggets and manged all five wins by eight points or less. The Grizzlies have won three straight and five of the last six meetings and have the return of point guard Mike Conley. After a poor start at home (currently 8-13) Denver is fighting it's way back to respectability and needs a win here to have a winning home stand of their own. Memphis is 1-4 ATS in their last five trips to the 'Mile-High' City and the Nuggets are 4-1 ATS in their last five games. Take NUGGETS! |
|||||||
01-21-16 | Arizona State +7 v. California | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 9 h 14 m | Show | |
Arizona State at California 9:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Golden Bears- The California Golden Bears have dropped three straight PAC-12 road games while Arizona State has dropped four straight in conference. Returning home the Golden Bears hope to garner revenge from one of their worst home losses in school history last season January to the Sun Devils 79-44. Arizona State who posted a win over Texas A&M earlier but has floundered since but has won the last five meetings and will be happy to receive points here. Take ARIZONA STATE! Â |
|||||||
01-21-16 | Pistons +1.5 v. Pelicans | 99-115 | Loss | -102 | 9 h 8 m | Show | |
Detroit at New Orleans 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Pelicans- I'm beginning to think that maybe 'good' coaches do make a difference and this match-up might give 'us' a perfect case study. Ah, coaching! We have to admit that Stan Van Gundy has done a great job with the Pistons who opened last season like the Sixers losing 19 of their first 21 and now support a winning record and an Eastern Conference playoff seed. Meanwhile, the Pelicans who made the playoffs last year on the wings of Anthony Davis have a 'new' coach in Alan Gentry and have failed miserably. The Piston just play better basketball. Take DETROIT! Â Â |
|||||||
01-21-16 | Wisconsin v. Penn State +3 | 66-60 | Loss | -106 | 8 h 20 m | Show | |
Wisconsin at Penn State 8:00 ET Nittany Lions (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin who last year fought in the NCAA Final under Bo Ryan are not quite the same this year under interim head coach Greg Gard although they are coming off a huge win over Michigan State 77-76. The Badgers have a history of dominance over the Lions winning 20 of the past 21 regular season meetings including the last seven. But, this is an improved Penn State club that actually have a better record at this time. This time out take the NITTANY LIONS! Â |
|||||||
01-21-16 | Kentucky v. Arkansas +3.5 | Top | 80-66 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 24 m | Show |
Kentucky at Arkansas 7:00 ET Razorbacks (+) over Wildcats- After 40 straight wins against non-ranked opponents Kentucky has lost four times this season against teams not even in the Top-25 including a 75-70 loss to Auburn on Saturday. Every year John Calipari moles a new bunch of freshman but this time around his 'new' class hasn't lived-up to previous expectations. The Wildcats who have lost 3-of-4 true road games have lost their last three trips to Arkansas and just can't find the chemistry needed to win, Take ARKANSAS! Â |
|||||||
01-20-16 | Hawks v. Blazers +2 | 104-98 | Loss | -102 | 11 h 13 m | Show | |
Atlanta at Portland 10:30 ET Trailblazers (+) over Hawks- The Atlanta Hawks who produced more wins in the East last season then any other club have found the going a little more difficult this season and have yet to get over the .500 mark on the road. This is the first of a five game trip where they play three sub. 500 clubs in-a-row. Portland is getting healthy and has won four-of-five. The Hawks have won the past three meetings but they don't have the same 'mojo' this season as last. This time the Blazers get it done. Take PORTLAND! Â |
|||||||

Colorado at Washington 10:00 ET Buffaloes (+) over Huskies- Since joining the PAC-12 in 2011 these two schools have split their six meetings with each winning on the others home floor last season. Both these clubs have winning record but each carry a dubious distinction. Washington is allowing the most points (78.6) in the PAC-12 while Colorado is tied with California for the conference 's worst turnover margin at minus-2.94. The Huskies are off a much needed win over Arizona State on Saturday and are now 4-1 in conference play while the Buffaloes are off a home win against Oregon. Take COLORADO! |

Detroit at Houston 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Rockets- Detroit has shown what they are capable of doing with their crushing win over Golden State on Saturday and then of course could not maintain as they dropped their next one Monday at Chicago. Houston has dropped 2-of-3 losing to the Clippers in overtime 140-132 despite 36 points and 26 rebounds by Dwight Howard. He will be countered by center Andre Drummond who has five straight double-doubles. One team has more heart then the other and I will take them. It's DETROIT! |

Miami at Washington 7:00 ET Heat (+) over Wizards- Miami took advantage of the home-friendly schedule the first half of the season and must now take to the road once against to even the ledger. They travel to Washington to open their latest five-game road trip and do it with a banged-up club that has its catalysis Dwyane Wade day-to-day and point guard Goran Dragic is out. The Wizards have fallen to the injury bug as well with Bradley Beal in and out of the line-up. Wade was in the line-up Tuesday but the Heat are 1-5 in their last six with him. It just appears that the Wizards have more problems. Take MIAMI! Â |

Georgia at Missouri 7:00 ET Tigers (+) over Bulldogs- Georgia is looking for their second win over Missouri in the last two weeks and have a huge climb after their total beat-down 79-45 at home against Texas A&M on Saturday. The Tigers like the Bulldogs come off a beating of their own to South Carolina. The Tigers were routed by Georgia 77-59 two weeks ago and have lost four straight in the series but Georgia is 0-3 in true road games this season. This time the Tigers gain some revenge. Take MISSOURI! Â Â |

Indiana at Phoenix 9:00 ET Suns (+) over Pacers- What a difference a tear makes...Last season the Suns weer the club that was the odd-man out in the Western Conference as they played well and had the best point spread record in the NBA. This season has been a complete disaster as the currently have lost 13 of their last 14. Phoenix coach Jeff Hornacek is on the hot seat and was not pleased with the Suns effort in their last loss to Minnesota and made it a point to embarrass his club publicly. The inconsistent Pacers have lost 12 of their last 15 visits to Phoenix. Take the SUNS! |

Oklahoma City at Denver 9:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Thunder- Oklahoma City has already pounded the Nuggets twice this season as they won by an average 25.5 points while hosting both encounters. The Thunder look as though they have started to turn it on as they have four four in-a-row and six of seven and are off a 25-point 99-74 route of Miami on Sunday. Denver is on pace to lose 50 games against this season but still have a shot at the playoffs. This time the Nuggets keep it close. Take DENVER! Â |

Houston at Southern Methodist 9:00 ET Cougars (+) over Mustangs- It was just over a week ago I thought “this Houston club can play some basketball and even though it was a small sample I saw quickness and shooting. Now, I don't see the same club. They stopped making shots and have dropped two straight and haven't looking good doing it! Yeah, and what about the only undefeated Division I school in the country. SMU is well coached and I find it difficult to play against Larry Brown but in this spot I must. Look for a scrappy effort out of the Cougars. Take HOUSTON!  |

Clemson at Virginia 8:00 ET Cavaliers (-) over Tigers- Virginia who started 12-1 this season have now lost three-of-four and are hosting the 'hottest' team in the ACC. Clemson has won five-straight ACC contests after losing to North Carolina to start conference play. Considering these two teams are 1 and 2 in ACC scoring defense with the Cavaliers allowing 61.2 and the Tigers at 62.4 it is surprising to me that this 'number' is as high as it is. Virginia won by 23 (65-42) last season and will do it again tonight. Take VIRGINIA! |

With such an early abundance of early home games Miami's record my be a little patted and not the will be traveling for most of the second half. Milwaukee has picked up their offense and have won back-to-back games and six of their last 10 as they close in on playoff position. These teams will meet three times this season and this is the first contest between them and the Bucks won all four of last year's match-ups. Take MILWAUKEE! Â |

Mississippi has dropped two straight losing to LSU and Florida last week and get to host the Gamecocks who they have defeated 12 of the 13 meetings in Oxford as the home team has won 13 of the past 15 regular season meetings.

Golden State at Cleveland 8:00 ET Cavaliers (+) over Warriors- What is happening in professional basketball? The Warriors have dropped two-of-three as they enter Cleveland to play the Eastern Conference champs. The Cavaliers have revenge on their minds as they still are bitter about Golden State 'cruising' the final three games of the NBA Finals last season as they claim that injuries were the difference. With Kyrie Irving back and Kevin Love more at ease the Cavaliers are starting to make their championship push and a win here will set them straight. Take CLEVELAND! |

Texas Tech at Texas Christian 7:00 ET Horned Frogs (+) over Longhorns- Both these clubs have struggled since Big-12 play started winning just one of five conference games. Both clubs lost to superior competition Saturday but were close enough to get the cover. Both teams rank at the bottom of the conference in made 3-pointers as TCU is ninth (5.4) and Texas Tech is 10th (5.1). TCU took both meetings last season including a 20-point win at Tech and believe they have enough to defeat the banged-up Longhorns. Take HORNED FROGS! |

Syracuse at Duke 7:00 ET Blue Devils (-) over Orange- This is something I don't remember seeing in recent memory and that is the Blue Devils on a two-game losing streak. With their coaching back at full strength the Orange have won their last two including routes of Wake Forest and Boston College (not much to be said about either club) Duke has won three-of-four against the Orange and will regroup here. Syracuse is 9-23 ATS in their last 32 following a straight-up win while the Blue Devils are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 following a ATS loss. Take DUKE! |

The Hornets who were in the thick of the Eastern Conference playoff hunt have fallen in the standings by losing nine of their last 10 and after this the Hornets are on the road for six of seven games. For some reason Utah has had their way against Charlotte winning 11 of the past 12 meetings. I'm stick with the 'mojo.' Take UTAH! |

Portland at Washington 2:00 ET Trailblazers (+) over Wizards- The Trailblazers with a virtual 'new' cast this season have struggled but nothing as bad as their last performance a114-89 loss to the pitiful Philadelphia 76ers. Washington had their own four-game winning streak ended Saturday by the Celtics 119-117 as they slipped one-game under .500. Bradley Beal is an important part of the Wizards attack and his unjuries have caught up with Washington. Take PORTLAND! |

Indiana at Denver 8:00 ET Nuggets (+) over Pacers- Indiana is a club that needs to bring their best effort to the arena every night or they will continue to struggle as they are. They have lost their last two and nine of their last 15 as they were run out buy the Celtics in the fourth quarter on Wednesday and fell to Washington at home on Friday. The Pacers seem to have problems with Denver as the Nuggets won both meetings last season and seven of the last eight. Take the NUGGETS! |

While Virginia is a gaudy 8-0 at home they are just 1-3 in true road games while Florida State is 6-1 at home. To top is all off Virginia is 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win.

George Mason at St. Louis 3:00 ET Patriots (+) over Billikens- A pair of bottom feeders who have no shot at any post season play face-off at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis and I'm sure that NBC Sports is delighted to have this one on their slate. To start with George Mason has dropped their last four and all six of their true road games this season and is 0-4 in conference play. The Billikens are just 5-6 as hosts and giving up more points then they score. As a favorite they stumble here. Take GEROGE MASON! |

Michigan State at Wisconsin 1:30 ET Badgers (+) over Spartans- It is a bit surprising to see Wisconsin getting this many points at home but when you see that they have lost their last three and have failed every big test presented to them. They did come close against Maryland but faulted when it counted most. Michigan State meanwhile lost at home to Iowa for the second time this season a task that the Badgers completed last season. I'm looking for the Spartans to be focused after their loss to the Hawkeyes but the Badgers need it more after three straight losses. Take WISCONSIN! |

Sacramento at L.A. Clippers 10:30 ET Kings (+) over Clippers- Does the absence of Blake Griffin have anything to do with the Clippers 10-game win streak, I'm not sure but maybe time will tell. Los Angeles was already without Griffin and now it appears their 'other' big man DeAndre Jordan was out with the flu onWednesday and even if he returns it will not be at full strength. Sacramento finally has DeMarcus Cousins, Rudy Gay and Rajon Rondo on the same page as they scrap for respectability. The Clippers have taken the last five in this series but the Kings are 6-1 ATS in their last seven on the road against a team with a wining record. Take SACRAMENTO! |

Arkansas comes down to Baton Rough winning three straight and off a 33-point 94-61 win over Missouri, while the Tigers took Ole Miss 90-81 with Simmons leading the way. Look for the Tigers to run the Hogs down. Take LSU! Â Â |

New York at Memphis 8:30 ET Knicks (+) over Grizzlies- The big question here is the availability and effectiveness of Carmelo Anthony as a twisted ankle has the New York scorer a game-time decision. I don't think it will matter, more of the Knicks players will be able to handle the ball and that suites Porzingis' style. The Knicks are 0-3 without Anthony but the Grizzlies will be without point guard Mike Conley. The Knicks are a game under the break-even point which is 'way good' for them. Take NEW YORK! Â |

The Pistons meanwhile are off a heartbreaking 103-101 loss at Memphis. Word is that Golden State has become a 'little sluggish' and are just not at the same level as a month ago. Pesky injuries are starting to slow the Warriors down from Barnes, to Curry and Green they are playing 'banged-up.' The Pistons have been lights-out at home going 13-6 straight-up and 13-5-1 ATS. The are also 14-2-1 ATS at home with same season revenge. Take DETROIT! |

Evansville at Illinois State 9:00 ET Aces (+) over Redbirds- The Aces dropped all three contests against Illinois State last season once here (77-51) once at home and once in the Conference tournament. It is rare for one school to defeat another in three meetings in one season and Evansville has 'triple-revenge' and have won their last two and 3-of-4 on the road. The Redbirds have struggled at 9-9 but are 7-2 straight-up at home. Despite last season's three losses to Illinois State the Aces are 23-11-2 ATS in the series and 11-4-1 at Redbird Arena and convert here again. Take EVANSVILLE! Â |

Charlotte has started to play better defense which is the key to them winning. New Orleans after making the playoffs on the final day last season has been terribly inconsistent are are just 7-9 at home. Take the HORNETS! |

Brigham Young at Gonzaga 9:00 ET Cougars (+) over Bulldogs- The Bulldogs surely remember the last time that they saw BYU here as the Cougars ended Gonzaga's 410game home winning streak and upset the then 21st ranked club. Currently, Gonzaga is 5-0 in West Coast Conference play as they seek their eighth straight while BYU has won their last three. The Bulldogs lost their dominating center in Przemek Karnoski who is out with season-ending back injury and he will be missed as the season wears on. Take BRIGHAM YOUNG! |

Detroit at Memphis 8:00 ET Pistons (+) over Grizzlies- The Pistons have to be considered the most improved team in the league along with the Knicks as they are 21-17 and that places them above Memphis in the overall NBA seeding. Detroit who has lost 11 of the past 12 meetings thought that they had the Grizzlies beat in Detroit when Matt Barns hit a half-court shot at the buzzer for a 93-92 win. Memphis is having some internal problems while Detroit is all Andre Drummond on the inside but has to improve his free throws (just 6-of-33). Take PISTONS! |

Tulsa dropped their first to AAC games then bounced back with wins over East Carolina and Tulane. The Golden Hurricanes defeated the Huskies one of the three times the clubs met while hosting the Huskies 66-58 a year ago yesterday and I see it happening again as Connecticut is without their 'big-man' Amidad Brimah.

Southern California at UCLA 11:00 ET Trojans (+) over Bruins- Both these cubs are off victories against No. 6 Arizona last weekend as the Bruins won on a three-pointer at the buzzer by Bryce Alford and the Trojans withstood four overtimes to beat the Wildcats. USC really showed me something in their win as the survived four chance to lose to the better team but there perseverance won out. UCLA has won the last six in this series and have won nine straight at home since their opening loss to Monmouth. The Trojans have a pair of point guards that will dazzle Alford. Take SOUTHERN CAL! |

Utah at Portland 10:00 ET Jazz (+) over Trailblazers- I am very interested in the final result of this contest as Portland is such a meager favorite against a Utah team that is 6-12 on the road. Then I realize that the Trailblazers have won seven of the last 10 meetings and I become even more confused. The Jazz have the addition of Center Rudy Gobert who has returned the past three games after a long sit on the sidelines. Utah had dropped seven consecutive road games until their win over the Lakers in Los Angeles on Sunday. This 'number' is way too shy. Take UTAH! |

Last night he posted 26 points in 27 minutes before fouling out against the Celtics in their 120-114 win. Brooklyn meanwhile has lost their last five games and 10 straight at Barkley Center where they haven't won since beating Philadelphia on December 10. But, this line is too inviting if you like the Knicks. I think the powers that be are looking for a Nets upset. So I'll take 'em. Take BROOKLYN! |

Tennessee at Georgia 7:00 ET Bulldogs (-) over Volunteers- These two clubs will most likely end-up in the middle of the SEC pack before it is all said and done as they both started 1-2 in conference play. Tennessee may be a little down after the way they blew a lead down the stretch at home against Texas A&M and now they travel for their fourth true road games where they are winless (0-3). Georgia lost a buzzer beater 72-71 at Mississippi but return home and will be led by Center Yante Maten who is consistently scoring in the 20's (7-of-10 games). Take TENNESSEE! |

The Longhorns dropped all three contests last season to Iowa State as well as four of the last five but now under Shaka Smart they look to win in his first meeting against the Cyclones.

Villanova at Butler 7:30 ET Bulldogs (+) over Wildcats- This is a big game for Butler as they 1-2 in Big East play and must face the conference power-house Villanova who they have never beaten (0-6). The Bulldogs have one of the toughest home-floor advantage where they are 7-1 straight-up. The Wildcats enter this contest with five straight wins while Butler broke a short two-game losing streak with a win over DePaul on Tuesday and have had plenty of rest and time to prepare for No. 13 Villanova. This time the Bulldogs break through. Take BUTLER! Â |

Dallas at Minnesota 3:35 ET Timberwolves (+) over Mavericks- The Mavericks 'rested' four starters in New Orleans and came away with a victory in New Orleans on Wednesday and then laid an egg with their starters in Milwaukee on Friday losing 96-95. Minnesota is still young and has dropped 17 of their last 21 games after an 8-8 start but with the improvement of rookie center Karl-Anthony Towns and second year man Andrew Wiggins they are playing better. With Oklahoma City, Chicago and San Antonio on deck the Mavericks might get caught looking past the Timberwolves, a mistake here. Take MINNESOTA! |

01-09-16 | Heat v. Jazz +1.5 | Top | 83-98 | Win | 100 | 10 h 1 m | Show |
Miami at Utah 9:00 ET Jazz (+) over Heat- Miami opened their six-game western swing with a win at Phoenix last night but the way the Suns are going of late I wouldn't put much stock in that. The Heat have beat-up on teams from the West going 11-2 but for the most part those were games played at home where they are 15-8 and now it's payback time as they are on the road. This game is being played in 'high altitude and the Heat will have no rest. Rudy Gobert is back for Utah and he makes a difference in the middle. Take the JAZZ! |

Washington at Orlando 7:00 ET Wizards (+) over Magic- Orlando might be just what the Wizards need as they dropped their fifth in six tries last night and tonight are facing a club that they have already beaten three times this season and 11 straight overall. Part of Washington struggles are that they just can't seem to get over the hump without Bradley Beal who possibly will be back tonight of monday after missing 14 games with a stress fracture in his right leg. The 'Wiz' are 12-5-1 ATS against the Magic and get it done once again. Take WASHINGTON! |

01-09-16 | Arizona State +5 v. UCLA | 74-81 | Loss | -106 | 18 h 34 m | Show | |
Arizona State at UCLA 5:00 ET Sun Devils (+) over Bruins- We had the winner with UCLA over Arizona Thursday night while ASU was getting pounded at Southern Cal 75-65 which dropped their conference record to 0-2. With Bryce Alford (Coach Steve's son) hitting a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left to defeat the Wildcats you would have thought the Bruins had won the National Championship but it was just their first PAC-12 win after an 0-2 start. UCLA has defeated Temple, Kentucky and Gonzaga and now Arizona but they have difficulty with anybody that isn't high profile. The trends all point toward UCLA but my gut tells me something else. UCLA is 11-5 in their last 16 PAC-12 games, the home team is 9-2-1 ATS and ASU is just 2-5-1 ATS in the last eight meetings but I can't get that celebration out of my head. Take ARIZONA STATE! |

The Tigers of course have the nation's #1 player in Ben Simmons who is expected to go to the NBA after his freshman season. LSU defeated Florida twice last season and now travel to Gainesville after their home upset win and they are 1-4 away from home. This game matches the SEC's top scoring offense (84.3) against the Conference's top defense (63.5) and defense will rule here. Finally, SEC teams after defeating Kentucky are 4-14 ATS next time out. Take FLORIDA! Â Â |

Utah at Colorado 9:00 ET Utes (+) over Buffaloes- The Utes have gotten off to a bad start (0-2) in PAC-12 dropping their first two to Stanford and California last weekend. Although Colorado leads the all-time series 26-17 Utah swept the series last year and has won four of the last six meetings. The Utes have registered huge wins over Duke, Texas Tech and Temple all on neutral site but are seeking their first win in a true road game and they will get it here led by the PAC-12's top center 7-foot Jakob Poeltl. The Utes are first in the conference field goal percentage and will prevail here. Take UTAH! Â |
