---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
03-04-24 | Delaware State v. Howard -4 | 66-85 | Win | 100 | 18 h 54 m | Show | |
Howard is in excellent form winning five of its last six games, including three in a row.The Bison average four more points per game than Delaware State and can exploit the Hornets' porous 3-point defense, which ranks 338th. |
|||||||
03-03-24 | Pacers -6 v. Spurs | 105-117 | Loss | -110 | 19 h 23 m | Show | |
It wasn't just the Pacers losing on the road to the Pelicans this past Friday. It was how they lost. New Orleans thoroughly embarrassed the Pacers beating them, 129-102. All-Star guard Tyrese Haliburton, an emerging superstar, was held scoreless. |
|||||||
03-03-24 | Warriors +11.5 v. Celtics | Top | 88-140 | Loss | -115 | 18 h 22 m | Show |
I don't get this line. Yeah the Celtics have won 10 in a row and own the best home record in the NBA at 28-3. But the Warriors are much improved from earlier in the season and playing their best ball. |
|||||||
03-03-24 | Indiana +9 v. Maryland | 83-78 | Win | 100 | 3 h 24 m | Show | |
Maryland ranks 332nd in field goal percentage, is the worst 3-point shooting team in the Big Ten Conference and its home mystique has been shattered with losses to Rutgers and Northwestern. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | UT-Rio Grande Valley v. California Baptist UNDER 138 | 52-88 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
Both teams are dealing with injuries that have derailed their offenses. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | Kansas State +6.5 v. Cincinnati | 72-74 | Win | 100 | 9 h 36 m | Show | |
Kansas State is coming on and Cincinnati is reeling. So this is a generous amount of points to back the Wildcats in an important game for both teams that should feature lots of intensity. |
|||||||
03-02-24 | Hawks +2 v. Nets | 102-114 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 54 m | Show | |
Even without injured Trae Young, the Hawks are better than the Nets. So I want Atlanta in rapid revenge after the Nets embarrassed the Hawks, 124-97, at home this past Thursday. |
|||||||
03-01-24 | Southern Miss v. UL - Lafayette -7 | 61-77 | Win | 100 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Lafayette is home, in a revenge spot and in stop-the-pain mode having lost four in a row. It says a lot that the oddsmaker has opened the Ragin' Cajuns such a strong favorite against Southern Mississippi. I agree with their assessment. I see the Ragin' Cajuns winning by double-digits as three of their past four four losses have come on the road. |
|||||||
03-01-24 | Warriors v. Raptors +3.5 | 120-105 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 19 m | Show | |
First off, Toronto is more than capable of beating Golden State straight-up. The Raptors did just that in convincing style, 133-118, at Golden State on Jan. 7. |
|||||||
03-01-24 | Fairfield +1.5 v. Marist | Top | 55-58 | Loss | -115 | 16 h 38 m | Show |
Marist opened the smallest of favorites. Still, The Red Foxes opened as a favorite - and that's wrong. Fairfield is the superior team. |
|||||||
02-29-24 | Gonzaga v. San Francisco +4 | 86-68 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 41 m | Show | |
Gonzaga is back in the Associated Press Top 25 ranking 23rd. But this isn't the elite Gonzaga team of previous years. They are overpriced against San Francisco, which is 7-1 in its last eight games and 13-1 at home. |
|||||||
02-29-24 | Wizards +9.5 v. Lakers | Top | 131-134 | Win | 100 | 13 h 45 m | Show |
The good news for the Lakers is they are off their best comeback win of the season. They came from 21 points down in the fourth quarter to upset their in-city, division rival the Clippers, 116-112, last night. LeBron James led the rally scoring 19 of his 34 points in the fourth quarter. |
|||||||
02-28-24 | Minnesota +11.5 v. Illinois | 97-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
You wouldn't know it from their last game, a bad 18-point loss to Nebraska this past Sunday. But the Minnesota Gophers own the best point spread mark in college basketball at 23-4 (85 percent). |
|||||||
02-28-24 | St. John's v. Butler -120 | Top | 82-59 | Loss | -120 | 20 h 13 m | Show |
Butler is home, has revenge and is in circle-the-wagons mode. The Bulldogs have lost four in a row putting them on the NCAA Tournament bubble. This is a huge game for the Bulldogs and I believe they will come through given St. John's recent road conference struggles. |
|||||||
02-28-24 | Pelicans v. Pacers UNDER 239.5 | 114-123 | Win | 100 | 10 h 50 m | Show | |
It's easy to see why this total is as high as it is. The Pacers are the No. 1 scoring team in the league and have a bottom-three defense. The Pelicans have an above average offense and several big-time scorers. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Nevada +7.5 v. Colorado State | Top | 77-74 | Win | 100 | 23 h 58 m | Show |
Colorado State has yet to lose at home in seven Mountain West Conference games this season. But it wouldn't shock me if the Rams lost straight-up to Nevada. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Valparaiso v. Northern Iowa UNDER 148 | 54-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 32 m | Show | |
I always think defense first when it comes to the Missouri Valley Conference. This quick rematch between Valparaiso and Northern Iowa should result in a lower-scoring game than the oddsmaker perceives. |
|||||||
02-27-24 | Pelicans -3 v. Knicks | 115-92 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
I like the Pelicans to cover against the Knicks even if Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum can't play. Both are listed as questionable. The Knicks, for sure, won't have two of their key players with Julius Randle and OG Anunoby both out.
The Knicks are only 3-6 in their last nine games. That record would be 2-7 if the Knicks didn't score a late basket to nip the last-place Pistons, 113-111, at home last night. The Knicks were lucky to win that game when the officials missed an obvious late-game foul that wasn't called. The Pelicans come to New York in a bad mood after losing, 114-106, to the Bulls at home two days ago blowing a 12-point late third quarter lead. New Orleans is just as good on the road as it is at home with identical 17-12 records. New Orleans has won five of its last six away games. |
|||||||
02-26-24 | Heat v. Kings UNDER 226 | Top | 121-110 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 49 m | Show |
Below the radar, the Heat have been playing outstanding defense. They've allowed an average of only 101.7 points in their last nine games. The Under has cashed in nine of Miami's last 10 games. |
|||||||
02-26-24 | Coppin State v. Howard -13 | 69-78 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 1 m | Show | |
Howard is a mediocre MEAC team. But the Bison are vastly superior to Coppin State, which is 2-22 and has lost 15 of its last 16 games. |
|||||||
02-25-24 | Magic v. Hawks UNDER 226.5 | 92-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Yes, the Hawks are a high-scoring bad defensive team. So, why go Under? Because the dynamics are not usual for the Hawks in this matchup. |
|||||||
02-25-24 | Nuggets v. Warriors +1 | Top | 119-103 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 45 m | Show |
Never count out Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Golden State is making its move winning 10 of its last 12 games. This includes a 2-0 mark since the All-Star break with double-digit home victories against the Lakers and Hornets. |
|||||||
02-25-24 | Siena +16 v. Fairfield | 64-88 | Loss | -110 | 4 h 18 m | Show | |
Siena has been an easy fade as the Saints are one of the worst teams in college basketball with a 4-22 record, including 3-12 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. |
|||||||
02-24-24 | Pepperdine v. San Francisco OVER 149.5 | 68-92 | Win | 100 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
Pepperdine has gone Over in five of its last six games. The Waves are averaging 90 points in their last two games, but their defense remains awful. |
|||||||
02-24-24 | CS-Northridge +2.5 v. CS-Fullerton | 65-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 42 m | Show | |
Even though Cal-State Fullerton is playing at home, it's a surprise the Titans are favored. Cal-Northridge is the superior team. |
|||||||
02-24-24 | Magic v. Pistons +8 | 112-109 | Win | 100 | 9 h 56 m | Show | |
Orlando is one of the more improved teams this season. The Magic came out of All-Star break with an impressive, 116-109, road win against the Cavaliers two days ago. |
|||||||
02-24-24 | Duke +2.5 v. Wake Forest | Top | 79-83 | Loss | -105 | 16 h 25 m | Show |
This is only the second time Duke is an underdog this season. The first came against North Carolina on the road. The Blue Devils lost to North Carolina. Since that defeat, though, Duke has won and covered five in a row. |
|||||||
02-23-24 | Fairfield v. Quinnipiac -2.5 | 85-81 | Loss | -115 | 9 h 16 m | Show | |
Quinnipiac is 10-2 in its last dozen games, but coming off an embarrassing home to Niagara. The Bobcats are superior to Fairfield, which is 2-6 ATS in its last eight games, and the price is low enough to back them. |
|||||||
02-23-24 | Wizards +16 v. Thunder | 106-147 | Loss | -112 | 10 h 0 m | Show | |
Emerging Oklahoma City wanted to make a statement coming out of the All-Star break. Statement made as the Thunder impressively buried the Clippers, 129-107, at home Thursday night. Now the Thunder face a far less daunting foe - the Wizards. It's a flat spot for the Thunder. So I'm going to hold my nose and back the Wizards getting this many points.  Washington has lost nine in a row, including suffering a 130-110 road loss to Denver last night. The Wizards, though, have a winning point spread mark in their last 11 games. They hosted the Thunder on Jan. 8 and lost by eight points, 136-128.Â
|
|||||||
02-23-24 | Clippers v. Grizzlies UNDER 223 | Top | 101-95 | Win | 100 | 10 h 23 m | Show |
These are two excellent defensive teams, who both rank in the bottom 10 in terms of pace. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Troy State +2.5 v. Arkansas State | Top | 71-79 | Loss | -110 | 22 h 53 m | Show |
Troy is 7-1 in its last eight games. However, that one defeat came at home to Arkansas State, 82-71, last Thursday. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Pistons +11.5 v. Pacers | 115-129 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
There's a certain randomness factor when NBA teams haven't played in eight days like these two teams. Randomness is good when backing an underdog in this high of a point range. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | College of Charleston v. Delaware +2 | 90-71 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 19 m | Show | |
College of Charleston has a better record than Delaware, but I don't see the Cougars winning this game. |
|||||||
02-22-24 | Hampton +9.5 v. Campbell | 72-68 | Win | 100 | 10 h 35 m | Show | |
Hampton was a 3 1/2-point favorite when it hosted Campbell back on Jan. 6. Even though Campbell won, 80-69, I find this point spread too high. Hampton has a winning ATS mark in its last six games. The Pirates have lost by more than six points twice in their last seven games. They are 6-2 ATS the last eight times when getting three or more points.  Campbell is 3-6 in its last nine games. The Fighting Camels have been favored by more than four points only once all season. That was against 9-16 Morgan State.Â
|
|||||||
02-21-24 | UNLV -5.5 v. Air Force | Top | 72-43 | Win | 100 | 22 h 37 m | Show |
Air Force is the worst team in the Mountain West Conference. The Falcons are 1-11 in the conference and have lost 14 of their past 15 games. Guess who that one victory came against? Yep, it was against UNLV. |
|||||||
02-21-24 | Dayton -130 v. George Mason | 67-71 | Loss | -130 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
If Dayton wins this game it will take over sole possession of first place in the Atlantic 10 Conference. The Flyers are a complete team with a star player, DaRon Holmes, to match George Mason's key player, Keyshawn Hall.Â
George Mason, though, could be minus their second-leading scorer, Darius Maddox, though. He's questionable with an injury. The 16th-ranked Flyers have proven themselves on the road covering eight of 11 times. They are the superior team so this is a short price to lay. |
|||||||
02-21-24 | Richmond -4 v. Rhode Island | 85-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 49 m | Show | |
Richmond is a couple of levels higher than Rhode Island, much closer to the elite of the Atlantic 10 Conference - Dayton and Loyola of Chicago - than below .500 where Rhode Island resides. |
|||||||
02-20-24 | Wyoming +14.5 v. Nevada | Top | 58-76 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 43 m | Show |
There is no team Nevada gets more motivated to play then its in-state rival, UNLV. The Wolf Pack had lost four in a row to UNLV - until this past Saturday night. |
|||||||
02-20-24 | UCF v. West Virginia +2.5 | 67-77 | Win | 100 | 9 h 22 m | Show | |
UCF is 1-5 in its last six games and shouldn't be laying points on the road to West Virginia. The Mountaineers are finally healthy and have proven themselves at home having knocked off then No. 3 Kansas. |
|||||||
02-20-24 | Bowling Green +1.5 v. Central Michigan | 60-62 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
I find this line to be off. Bowling Green was a whooping nine-point home favorite against Central Michigan on Feb. 3. Central Michigan upset Bowling Green, 77-76 in overtime. The Chippewas shot 51 percent from the floor in that game. Bowling Green had a terrible shooting game making only 33 percent of their field goals, 66 percent of their free throws and missing 33 of 40 shots from beyond the arc. |
|||||||
02-19-24 | Iowa State +9.5 v. Houston | Top | 65-73 | Win | 100 | 23 h 43 m | Show |
Maybe it's because Houston dominated Texas this past Saturday holding the Longhorns to their lowest point total of the season in an 82-61 victory. But I find this line way too high on the Cougars. |
|||||||
02-18-24 | Canisius -2.5 v. Siena | Top | 73-64 | Win | 100 | 14 h 16 m | Show |
Canisius is nothing great. But Siena is the Washington Generals of college basketball. Canisius is 9-15. Siena is 3-21 in its last 24 games. The Saints very well could be the worst offensive team in the country. |
|||||||
02-17-24 | NC State +8 v. Clemson | 78-77 | Win | 100 | 19 h 38 m | Show | |
The ACC has a tendency to bring down teams that are riding high. It's that competitive and prideful of a conference loaded with quality teams. |
|||||||
02-17-24 | Indiana State -4.5 v. Southern Illinois | Top | 69-74 | Loss | -110 | 18 h 14 m | Show |
There hadn't been this much excitement about Indiana State since Larry Bird played for the Sycamores. Unfortunately for the 23rd-ranked Sycamores they are coming off a stunning home upset loss to 12-14 Illinois State this past Tuesday. |
|||||||
02-17-24 | Cal-Riverside v. UC-Davis -5 | 67-61 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
UC Davis is the better all-around team. The Aggies are home and in stop-the-pain mode with two straight losses.  Cal-Riverside is two things - unable to win on the road and a terrible shooting team.  The Highlanders are 1-12 in their away games. They average fewer than 70 points per game and rank 357th in field goal percentage at 39 percent.Â
|
|||||||
02-17-24 | Cincinnati v. UCF UNDER 135.5 | 76-74 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 23 m | Show | |
There were only 125 points scored in Cincinnati's, 68-57, home win against UCF on Jan. 27. Expect a similar low-scoring game in this rematch.   Both teams surrender fewer than 67 points per game and play at a slow tempo. The Bearcats excel in blocked shots percentage and defensive rebounding. UCF's defensive strength is its interior defense.  The Knights are one of the poorest shooting teams in the country. They rank last in the Big 12 in shooting percentage.Â
|
|||||||
02-17-24 | Marquette v. Connecticut -6 | 53-81 | Win | 100 | 13 h 26 m | Show | |
I don't see top-ranked Connecticut losing to Marquette at home. The Huskies have won 13 in a row and haven't forgotten how Marquette knocked them out of the Big East Conference Tournament last season. |
|||||||
02-16-24 | Siena v. St. Peter's -9 | 53-75 | Win | 100 | 14 h 48 m | Show | |
St. Peter's is an 11-11 average team that is in circle-the-wagons mode with a four-game losing streak following a 64-62 home loss to Fairfield, the second-best team in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Peacocks did cover that game, though, as 3 1/2-point 'dogs. |
|||||||
02-16-24 | Jacksonville v. Queens NC -1.5 | 65-74 | Win | 100 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
Queens is 9-3 at home. Jacksonville is 2-12 in true road games. |
|||||||
02-16-24 | Brown v. Princeton -12.5 | Top | 63-72 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 7 m | Show |
Princeton has the best overall record of any team in the Ivy League at 17-3. Brown has one of the worst records at 6-16 with a 3-9 road mark. |
|||||||
02-15-24 | Warriors -125 v. Jazz | Top | 140-137 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
I don't find it too much to ask the Warriors to beat the reeling Jazz in Utah for the second time in four days. Golden State hammered Utah, 129-107, this past Monday. |
|||||||
02-15-24 | NJIT v. Albany OVER 152 | 58-83 | Loss | -112 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Albany is one of the worst defensive teams in the nation ranking 334th. The Great Danes, though, average 78 points and play high-scoring games at home. All but one of their seven home contests have gone Over the total.  The combined total of Albany's last five home games have been 216 points, 187, 173, 170 and 172.  New Jersey Tech is a below average defensive team that has problems guarding the 3-point shot.Â
|
|||||||
02-15-24 | Northwestern v. Rutgers -3.5 | Top | 60-63 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 4 m | Show |
Big Ten Conference basketball is all about defense and protecting your home floor. Both of these key factors are in play for Rutgers in this matchup. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Clippers +4.5 v. Warriors | Top | 130-125 | Win | 100 | 22 h 42 m | Show |
No need to overthink. The Clippers are 35-17, one of the three best teams in the Western Conference along with the Timberwolves and Thunder. The Clippers' goal is to finish with the best record in the NBA. That's a lofty goal, but attainable for a team this good.
Golden State is 26-25. The Warriors are off an emotional road victory against the Jazz this past Monday. They play at Utah again on Thursday to close out the first half of their season. It's a game that was rescheduled following the untimely death of Warriors assistant coach Dejan Milojevic from a heart attack. So returning home for this one game against the Clippers sandwiched in between trips to Utah is an usual and tough spot for the Warriors. Their concentration level may be hindered. There's also a physical fatigue to go with the mental stress as this marks the Warriors' fifth game in eight days. Unlike the Warriors, the Clippers won't play again until after the All-Star break. Also unlike the Warriors, the Clippers are off a huge, disappointing loss. They were embarrassed at home by the Timberwolves, 121-100, this past Monday. That defeat dropped the Clippers 1 1/2 games behind the Timberwolves for best record in the Western Conference. Even with that loss to Minnesota, the Clippers still are 10-3 in their past 13 games. They won't lack motivation for this matchup and should be fully focused and engaged. The Clippers have both a top-10 offense and defense. They rank first in 3-point field goal percentage. The Warriors are below average defensively ranking 19th. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Wizards v. Pelicans OVER 236 | 126-133 | Win | 100 | 19 h 4 m | Show | |
I'm going to use the Zig-Zag method on this total. Both the Wizards and Pelicans are off strong defensive performances where their offenses were held in check. |
|||||||
02-14-24 | Miami-FL +7.5 v. Clemson | 60-77 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 5 m | Show | |
Clemson returns home after posting impressive road victories against North Carolina and Syracuse. But the Tigers haven't played well at home and have had matchup problems against Miami.Â
Clemson is 2-3 SU, 1-4 ATS in its last five home games. One of those losses was to Georgia Tech as an 11 1/2-point favorite. The Tigers only defeated Louisville by six at home as a 16 1/2-point favorite. The Tigers are playing their first home game in 11 days. Miami is 1-3 in its last four games, but nearly beat North Carolina at home this past Saturday losing, 75-72. The Hurricanes have defeated Clemson in the last four meetings, including 95-82 on Jan. 3. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | Wolves v. Blazers +8.5 | Top | 121-109 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 59 m | Show |
This is enough line value for me to take the Trail Blazers given the probable return of Anfernee Simons and the favorable spot Portland is in. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | Pittsburgh v. Virginia -6.5 | 74-63 | Loss | -115 | 8 h 47 m | Show | |
Pittsburgh upset Virginia when these teams last met last season. The Cavaliers won't let it happen again, especially at home where they are 13-0. Virginia, in fact, has the longest home winning streak in NCAA Division I with 23 straight victories. Pittsburgh is fat and happy riding a three-game win streak. Two of those wins were in a favorite's role against Notre Dame and Wake Forest. The Panthers' 3-point defense is showing signs of regression. That could prove crucial as the Cavaliers' strengths are their third-ranked defense and 15th-ranked 3-point shooting percentage. During the past four weeks, the Cavaliers are the fifth-hottest shooting 3-point team. |
|||||||
02-13-24 | Duquesne v. Dayton -8.5 | Top | 59-75 | Win | 100 | 19 h 17 m | Show |
You have to go back 12 years to find the last time Duquesne won at Dayton. I don't see the Dukes ending their long road losing streak here against the Flyers. |
|||||||
02-12-24 | Bulls +4 v. Hawks | Top | 136-126 | Win | 100 | 22 h 44 m | Show |
This is an important game for playoff seeding in the East. The Bulls rank ninth while the Hawks are 10th, one game behind Chicago. The Bulls are the superior defensive team and have a winning point spread mark. They are 7-4 ATS in their past 11 games. |
|||||||
02-11-24 | Penn State +8.5 v. Northwestern | 63-68 | Win | 100 | 14 h 42 m | Show | |
Northwestern is laying too many points here against a hot Penn State team that has won and covered its last three games, beating Rutgers and Indiana on the road and Iowa at home. The Nittany Lions are 5-2 ATS in their last seven home games. |
|||||||
02-10-24 | Rockets +5 v. Hawks | 113-122 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 3 m | Show | |
Both teams are playing without rest. But here's what you have to know. The Hawks have the worst point spread record in the NBA at 16-36 (31 percent). They are 5-16 ATS when favored by more than 1 1/2 points.  The Hawks just beat a reeling 76ers squad that is trying to learn life without Joel Embiid. Atlanta will be missing center Clint Capela. Onyeka Okongwu has played well in Capela's place, but logged 34 minutes against the 76ers last night.  Houston is 0-3 in its current four-game road swing that ends here. The Rockets have come close in their last two games losing to the Pacers by three points this past Tuesday and by three points to the Raptors last night cutting a 23-point deficit to one point with 23 seconds left.  The Rockets nearly won despite their two leading scorers, Alperen Sengun and Jalen Green, shooting a combined 6-for-18 (25 percent) from the floor. Sengun shoots 54.1 percent from the field.Â
|
|||||||
02-10-24 | Providence v. Butler -3.5 | 72-75 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
Providence defeated Butler, 85-75, in overtime on Dec. 23. Much has changed since then. Butler is the better team. |
|||||||
02-10-24 | Vanderbilt v. South Carolina -11 | 60-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 49 m | Show | |
Before the season, the SEC media picked Vanderbilt to finish 11th in the conference and South Carolina to place last. Vanderbilt has held true to that prediction with a 1-8 SEC mark. |
|||||||
02-10-24 | Creighton v. Xavier +1.5 | 78-71 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 27 m | Show | |
Xavier is playing well and in revenge mode for an 85-78 road loss to Creighton on Jan. 23. |

02-09-24 | Pelicans -115 v. Lakers | Top | 122-139 | Loss | -115 | 13 h 32 m | Show |
The Pelicans are playing well, riding a four-game win streak. They rested in Los Angeles on Thursday after upsetting the Clippers on Wednesday. The Lakers, meanwhile, played hard but not smart in losing to the Nuggets, 114-106, on Thursday night. |
|||||||
02-09-24 | Hornets +14.5 v. Bucks | 84-120 | Loss | -115 | 10 h 34 m | Show | |
As bad as the Hornets are, the Bucks are in no position to lay this many points to them. Milwaukee is 1-5 SU and 1-5 ATS in its last six games. The Bucks carry a high fatigue rating, have key injuries and Doc Rivers has been a near-disaster so far as the Bucks' coach. |
|||||||
02-09-24 | Dayton -1.5 v. VCU | Top | 47-49 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 6 m | Show |
Dayton is 18th-ranked in the country, leads the Atlantic 10 Conference and has won 16 of its last 17 games. But this matchup against VCU holds special meaning for the Flyers. |
|||||||
02-08-24 | Pistons v. Blazers -5.5 | 128-122 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 47 m | Show | |
The Pistons are 3-20 on the road this season. Their latest road victory came last night in a 133-120 upset of the Kings. The Pistons achieved this unlikely victory without injured Cade Cunningham and Bojan Bogdanovic leaving them with only nine players. |
|||||||
02-08-24 | Nuggets v. Lakers +3.5 | Top | 114-106 | Loss | -105 | 12 h 15 m | Show |
The Lakers have picked up their pace winning eight of their last 12 games. This includes three straight victories to close out a six-game road trip. |
|||||||
02-08-24 | Washington State v. Oregon State +9 | 64-58 | Win | 100 | 10 h 60 m | Show | |
Forget Oregon State being just 3-8 in the Pac-12 Conference and 11-11 overall. The Beavers are much stronger when playing at home. They are 11-2 at Gill Coliseum. One of the victories was an 83-80 win against then ninth-ranked Arizona on Jan. 25. The Beavers were 18 1/2-point 'dogs in that game. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Pelicans +6.5 v. Clippers | Top | 117-106 | Win | 100 | 22 h 43 m | Show |
The Pelicans are in prime position to ambush the Clippers. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Spurs +8 v. Heat | 104-116 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 1 m | Show | |
Miami hasn't gotten going this season, losing eight of its last 11 games. But the Heat did win a satisfying game beating in-state rival Orlando, 121-95, last night. |
|||||||
02-07-24 | Furman -2.5 v. Mercer | 69-78 | Loss | -115 | 19 h 16 m | Show | |
Furman is in better form than Mercer and has too much offense for the Bears to stay close. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | St. Mary's v. Pacific +21.5 | 84-43 | Loss | -110 | 14 h 35 m | Show | |
Saint Mary's probably could name its score. The Gaels did that when these two teams met on Jan. 25. The Gaels embarrassed Pacific, 76-28. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | Bucks +4 v. Suns | 106-114 | Loss | -115 | 12 h 8 m | Show | |
Milwaukee is concluding its five-game road trip here. The Bucks are 1-3 on their road swing. This is a good time to buy low on the Bucks coming off a 123-108 Sunday loss to the Jazz. |
|||||||
02-06-24 | Oklahoma State v. Houston -20 | Top | 63-79 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 3 m | Show |
I want Houston going for me at home after it was smashed, 78-65, by Kansas on the road this past Saturday. That was the Cougars' worst regular-season defeat in two years. |
|||||||
02-05-24 | Kansas v. Kansas State +4.5 | 70-75 | Win | 100 | 11 h 27 m | Show | |
Fresh off a 78-65 home victory against fourth-ranked Houston, Kansas is looking good. But now the Jayhawks find themselves in a difficult scheduling spot. They have to travel to Kansas State for this in-state, Big 12 Conference rivalry matchup. |
|||||||
02-05-24 | Raptors +11.5 v. Pelicans | 100-138 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 49 m | Show | |
Toronto is 2-11 in its last 13 games, 1-7 in its last eight games and playing its fifth straight road game. |
|||||||
02-05-24 | Warriors v. Nets UNDER 237.5 | Top | 109-98 | Win | 100 | 21 h 59 m | Show |
Both the Warriors and Nets are coming off high-scoring games. The Warriors lost 141-134 in overtime to the Hawks this past Saturday. Brooklyn rolled past the 76ers, 136-121, also this past Saturday. |
|||||||
02-04-24 | Bucks v. Jazz +1.5 | Top | 108-123 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show |
At first glance this opening line might look strange with the 33-16 Bucks around a pick'em against the 24-26 Jazz. But the spot sets up extremely well for Utah. So I'm on the Jazz. The Bucks came back to beat Dallas on the road Saturday night. Milwaukee trailed by 25 points at one stage. The Bucks' three best players all logged heavy minutes in the victory. Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton each played more than 38 minutes. Giannis Antetokounmpo logged more than 40 minutes. It wouldn't be shocking if any of those three were rested today. I'm getting down now on the Jazz because the line would change if Antetokounmpo or Lillard sat out. Note, too, the Bucks are going into Utah's high altitude.  Milwaukee also is in transition with new coach Doc Rivers. Beating Dallas was the Bucks' first win under Rivers this season.  The Jazz are 15-7 at home - and rested. They last played this past Thursday. The Jazz lost to the 76ers, 127-124, in their last game. Philadelphia didn't have injured Joel Embiid. However, the Jazz had just returned from a six-game road trip and been idle for only one day before hosting the 76ers. Now they are rested and ready to go with a strong home court.Â

02-04-24 | Magic v. Pistons +7 | 111-99 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 48 m | Show | |
I know it's difficult to get behind the Pistons. But they are in an excellent situational spot here. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | St. Mary's +4.5 v. Gonzaga | 64-62 | Win | 100 | 13 h 8 m | Show | |
I'm not convinced Gonzaga is better than Saint Mary's so I'm taking these many points. The Bulldogs have fewer wins than Saint Mary's and have battled inconsistency. Saint Mary's is in top form winning 14 of its last 15 games, including nine in a row. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | Tennessee v. Kentucky +1.5 | Top | 103-92 | Loss | -110 | 20 h 25 m | Show |
This is Kentucky's game to win and I see the Wildcats doing just that. Getting any points with the Wildcats is just a bonus. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | Weber State +2 v. Northern Colorado | 82-63 | Win | 100 | 10 h 52 m | Show | |
This is a power ratings play. These teams have similar records, but I have Weber State as the superior team. So I will back the underdog. Weber State ranks 65th in the nation defensively holding foes to 65.2 points per game. That's remarkable for a Big Sky Conference team. Northern Colorado has had some high-scoring games in its last few games, but the Bears have played weak competition during this span. They rank 326th defensively allowing 78.2 points per game. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | Houston v. Kansas +1.5 | 65-78 | Win | 100 | 7 h 55 m | Show | |
Maybe it's a sucker's play. But I'm not going to turn down Kansas as a home underdog to Houston. The last time the Jayhawks were an underdog in Allen Fieldhouse was 2021 when they rolled past future national champion Baylor, 71-58. |
|||||||
02-03-24 | The Citadel +7.5 v. East Tennessee State | 60-62 | Win | 100 | 6 h 12 m | Show | |
East Tennessee State has only been favored once in its last eight games. That was against VMI. The Buccaneers were 10 1/2-point chalk and ended up winning by one point. |
|||||||
02-02-24 | Magic +8 v. Wolves | Top | 108-106 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
Points are going to be hard to come by in this matchup between the Magic, who ranked fifth in the NBA defensively, and the Timberwolves, who give up the fewest points per game. That's why the oddsmaker has set a low total. So I find this to be a lot of points to get. |
|||||||
02-02-24 | Siena v. Rider -10.5 | 50-91 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show | |
Siena is 3-17 and tied for last in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with a 2-7 mark. However, one of the Saints' victories came against Rider. |
|||||||
02-02-24 | Quinnipiac -6.5 v. Manhattan | 77-71 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 20 m | Show | |
Manhattan is one of the worst teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Jaspers don't have much of a home-court edge and are weak both offensively and defensively where they have permitted at least 81 points in three of their last four games. |
|||||||
02-01-24 | 76ers +4.5 v. Jazz | 127-124 | Win | 100 | 10 h 10 m | Show | |
Let's get the bad out of the way first. No Joel Embiid and the 76ers are concluding a five-game road trip here. They have lost the first four games of their road swing. But things aren't good on the Utah side either. The Jazz are 2-5 in their past seven games with the only victories during this time frame coming against the Wizards and Hornets. Those two bottom feeders have a combined record of 19-74.  The Jazz also are in a tough situational spot. This is their first home contest since Jan. 18. The Jazz just concluded six consecutive road games with losses to the Nets and Knicks this past Monday and Tuesday nights.  Embiid may be out for a while. The 76ers need to prove they can win without him. They shouldn't lack motivation to salvage one game from their road trip. They also have revenge incentive for a 120-109 home loss to the Jazz on Jan. 6 when Embiid also was out.  There's a good chance the 76ers get back underrated Tyrese Maxey, who has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, and versatile Nicolas Batum.

|||||||
02-01-24 | Appalachian State v. Georgia State +6 | 81-71 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 24 m | Show | |
I'm going to buy low on Georgia State. The Panthers have lost four in a row to drop below .500 on the season. Those four defeats, though, all came on the road. Georgia State is 6-1 at home, including winning its last six home games. |
|||||||
02-01-24 | Albany v. Vermont UNDER 148 | Top | 59-81 | Win | 100 | 10 h 36 m | Show |
Albany is a high-scoring, up-tempo team with a weak defense. Vermont is just the opposite. The Catamounts rank 23rd in the nation defensively. They've held their last four foes to an average of 58.5 points. |
|||||||
01-31-24 | Pelicans -135 v. Rockets | 110-99 | Win | 100 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
The Rockets enter this matchup a little fat and happy having buried the Lakers at home two days ago. Houston's three previous games were against the Nets, Hornets and Trail Blazers.
Let's contrast this with the Pelicans. New Orleans is in stop-the-pain mode with a three-game losing streak. Those losses, however, came on the road to the Celtics and Bucks and at home to the Thunder, who have the best point spread mark in the NBA. The Pelicans are at full strength. They own a big edge in this matchup from beyond the arc ranking third in the league in 3-point accuracy compared to the Rockets, who rate 27th in 3-point shooting percentage. |
|||||||
01-31-24 | Mavs +14 v. Wolves | Top | 87-121 | Loss | -110 | 11 h 41 m | Show |
I'm more interested in the Mavericks when they are underdogs - and they certainly are underdogs in this matchup judging by the lopsided point spread. It's way too many points for the Timberwolves to be laying. Dallas has ended its mini-slump winning two of its past three games, including nipping the Magic, 131-129, at home two days ago. Tim Hardaway Jr. has been picking up the slack for Kyrie Irving's absence. He had 36 points against Orlando.  The Mavericks are 12-9 on the road. They have covered seven of the last 11 times when getting points. Dallas also defeated the Timberwolves, 115-108, in the last meeting on Jan. 7 at home.  The Timberwolves are coming off a satisfying road win against the Thunder, in which Minnesota coach Chris Finch challenged his defense, but are just 3-3 in their last six games.  It's not an ideal situational spot either for the Timberwolves being their first home game in nine days following four consecutive road games. Minnesota is 0-2 in its last two home contests losing to the Hornets and Thunder.Â

01-31-24 | Furman v. The Citadel +7.5 | 82-79 | Win | 100 | 10 h 9 m | Show | |
Furman is a high-scoring team, but this is too many points for the Paladins to lay on the road. |
|||||||
01-30-24 | San Diego State v. Colorado State -1.5 | Top | 71-79 | Win | 100 | 22 h 18 m | Show |
It's gut check time for Colorado State after consecutive road losses to Wyoming and Nevada. The Rams are in the NCAA Tournament hunt with a 15-5 record, but blew an 11-point lead with 1:11 left to fall to Wyoming in overtime this past Saturday in their last game. |
|||||||
01-30-24 | Jazz +4 v. Knicks | 103-118 | Loss | -109 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
I tried to step in against the Knicks with the Hornets on Monday. It was a mistake. The Hornets are an immature, gutless team. The Jazz aren't. They are well-coached, have a deep rotation and are below-the-radar with a 10-5 record this month. |
|||||||
01-30-24 | Marquette v. Villanova -125 | 85-80 | Loss | -125 | 7 h 36 m | Show | |
Villanova needs this game much more than Marquette. The Wildcats are in serious stop-the-pain mode having lost four in a row. |
|||||||
01-29-24 | Wolves v. Thunder UNDER 225.5 | Top | 107-101 | Win | 100 | 19 h 0 m | Show |
NBA teams pick up their defensive intensity during the playoffs. There are some regular-season games, though, where that playoff defensive intensity surfaces. This should be one of those matchups.
Minnesota and Oklahoma City are tied for first in the Northwest Division. Both have been pointing to this showdown. Each team got caught looking ahead, too. The Timberwolves lost, 113-112, to the Spurs this past Saturday while the Thunder were upset by the Pistons, 120-104, on Sunday. Timberwolves coach Chris Finch ripped his team's defensive performance following the loss to the Spurs calling it disgusting and that his team was immature. I expect the Timberwolves to play far better on defense, being stung by their coaches' criticism. They are, after all, the No. 1 defensive team in the league holding opponents to an average of 107.6 points a game. The Timberwolves also rank first in defensive rebounding and No. 2 in defensive field goal percentage. Oklahoma City ranks No. 1 in the NBA in defensive field goal percentage. The Thunder, though, are averaging only 106 points during their last four games if you don't count their 140-114 win against the Spurs this past Wednesday. There were just 199 points scored during the team's last meeting when Oklahoma City won, 102-97, at Minneapolis nine days ago. |
