 Penn State's offense was the main problem in Sunday's 68-60 defeat at Indiana and tonight against a Rutgers team that predicates it successes and failures with their defense first mind set , Im betting the Nitanny Lions have problems putting points  on the board again, exposing their biggest weakness. Note: Rutgers allows just 62.2 ppg . 

RUTGERS is 13-6 ATS  versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 4+ points/game this season.

Going from sea level in Portland and than traveling to the high altitudes of Utah, in the 2nd part of a back and back road games, makes for a situation where I expect the Celtics to be a little slower than usual and for a Jazz team in desperate need of shoring up a bleeding defence to  make a concerted effort  at turning this into a  physical affair that I project to stay on the low side of the total. BOSTON is 15-5 UNDER in road games versus good teams - outscoring their opponents by 3+ points/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 3 seasons with a combined average of 212.3 ppg scored. UTAH is 21-6 UNDER  off a double digit loss as a home favorite of 6 or more with a combined average of 195.1 ppg going on the board.

Wofford is on a five-game losing streak , and despite of being home court underdogs here vs a top tier opponent (E.Tenn State) they are always dangerous as hosts and must not be underestimated getting points in front of their own alumni.

Minnesota has a one way modus operandi and that is full throttle take no prisoners basketball that pays very little attention to defence ranking 7th in pace in the league and 27th in pgg allowed and a respectable 13th in offensive ppg output . Meanwhile, Miami plays a different style of hoops, and a slower pace, but will have to adjust a bit to the Wolves speedy style as has been the case over the last 5 games, as the Heat have combined with their opponents to average 231.4 ppg and have gone over in 4 straight tilts. The Heat overall have averaged 116.9 ppg at home this season, and Im betting on that number being eclipsed here and for the Wolves to chase and get themselves into the +110 range offensively, which will result in a over. 

The Timberwolves are 15-0 OVER L/`15 as a dog off a loss as a dog in which they had assists on less than 45 percent of their field goals with the 3 most recent games in this subset dating back to last season seeing 243,240, and 256 combined ppg going on the board.

 Indiana State is a different team on the road then they are at home as is evident by recording a  2-12 SU and 3-11 ATS record dating back to last season, including 1-6 ATS during this campaign. Considering  Indiana State struggles in this series vs Southern Illinois , going   3-13 SU and 1-7 ATS away it wont be a hard decision to take a  SIU side that despite of  having clinched a first-round bye in the MVC Tournament but with a a win over Indiana State, SIU would clinch a top-four seed. Note: SIU has held 11 opponents under 40% shooting this season. Key to victory: SIU's overall defensive efficiency ranks 81st nationally, which is second-best in the MVC to Loyola. In MVC games, SIU's defensive efficiency leads the league. 

SIU ranks 9th nationally (of 353) in scoring defense, allowing just 60.9 points per game. SIU also ranks top-55 nationally in fewest fouls per game (10th) and 3-point field goal percentage defense (51st) and are 12-2 at home this season.
