01-01-23 | St. Peter's v. Iona OVER 133.5 | 55-73 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 31 m | Show | |
On the season the Gaels are scoring 77.8 points per game and shooting 46.7% from the field. They take just over 20 attempts from three per game and are connecting on 34.5% of them. Iona looks to get most of their scoring near the rim as 43.4% of their scoring production comes from down low. They are also a great jump-shooting team as they are 6th in the country in mid-range shooting percentage. The Gaels also do a solid job protecting the ball, only turning it over on 13.9% per play, top 30 in the country. This is certainly notable considering the pace of play the Gaels play. |

01-01-23 | Tulsa +8.5 v. SMU | Top | 67-92 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 50 m | Show |
Most will run away from Tulsa after failing to cover 9 straight games, but the number has risen to a level that I'm not willing to lay. The Mustangs aren't exactly cashing tickets consistently with a 5-8 ATS record. The road team in this series has covered 20 of their last 28 meetings. |

12-31-22 | Cavs v. Bulls UNDER 224.5 | Top | 103-102 | Win | 100 | 7 h 15 m | Show |
The Cleveland Cavaliers, coming off a trio of rough defensive showings, hope to snap their three-game losing streak on Saturday night when they visit the Chicago Bulls. Cleveland is in the midst of its second-longest skid of the season and faces the possibility of Darius Garland sitting out due to a sprained right thumb. Garland was injured Thursday in the fourth quarter of the Cavaliers' 135-126 loss at Indiana when he collided with Pacers forwards Oshae Brissett and Jalen Smith. The Cavaliers won eight of their first nine games this season, when they were allowing 103.9 points per contest. Then came a five-game losing streak from Nov. 7-13 when the Cavaliers allowed 118.8 points per game and 51.1 percent from the field. Cleveland followed up its five-game slide by winning 14 of 19 starting with a double-overtime victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Nov. 18. During the 19-game run, the Cavaliers allowed 101 points per game and earned nine double-digit wins. The final game of the hot streak was a 114-106 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Dec. 21. Since then, the Cavaliers dropped home games to the Toronto Raptors and Brooklyn Nets before allowing their highest point total of the season at Indiana. |

12-31-22 | Knicks v. Rockets UNDER 224 | Top | 108-88 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show |
Momentum is fickle, and over the course of an 82-game schedule, there are enough twists and turns to make sustained excellence difficult for most teams. As recently as Dec. 20, the New York Knicks were riding high. On that date, the Knicks extended their winning streak to a season-best eight consecutive games with a 132-94 dismantling of the Golden State Warriors that seemed to confirm that all of their pieces were meshing perfectly. The Knicks have not tasted victory since. On Thursday, they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat, a 122-115 road loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the second stop of the "Texas Triangle" that will end on Saturday against the host Houston Rockets. The Knicks were again without guard Jalen Brunson (hip) and forward RJ Barrett (finger), and their absences have played a role in the team's ineffective play of late. However, much of the blame can be linked to the Knicks' defense, which has the worst defensive rating in the league -- 125.6 points per possession allowed -- during their losing skid. The Knicks are 11th overall in defensive rating on the season, according to NBA.com. |

12-31-22 | Mavs v. Spurs UNDER 231.5 | Top | 126-125 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 3 m | Show |
The Dallas Mavericks will look to expand on a five-game winning streak when they travel south to square off against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday in this season's first battle between the Lone Star State rivals. The Mavericks have been rolling over the past two weeks, riding otherworldly play from superstar Luka Doncic and a solid contribution from the team's role players to their most successful stint of the campaign. Dallas heads to the Alamo City after a 129-114 win at home over Houston on Thursday in which Doncic racked up his second straight triple-double, amassing 35 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds. It was his eighth triple-double of the season. The Mavericks' supporting cast was up to the task, too, on Thursday. Christian Wood added 21 points, Dwight Powell went 8 of 8 from the floor and tallied a season-high 19 points, Tim Hardaway Jr. had 18 points and Spencer Dinwiddie contributed 15. "I did ask a couple of players that we needed to step up and not wait for Luka, and they responded," Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. "We talked about it before the game and they understand the time or the stress we put on Luka. So we needed some guys to be able to get some easy baskets and take that stress off of him, and they did that tonight." The Mavericks, who rely mostly on execution in half-court sets, had a season-best 25 fast-break points in Thursday's win. It's taken awhile but Dallas is finally coming together and look capable of making a repeat run deep into the playoffs. |

12-31-22 | Loyola Marymount v. Pacific +4.5 | Top | 72-78 | Win | 100 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Loyola Marymount this season, as they are currently ranked 257th in college basketball at 69.3 points per game. A major reason for low-scoring totals is the fact that they have played at a below-average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Lions’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 34.4%, placing them 218th in the NCAA. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Texas-San Antonio v. UABÂ UNDER 158 | Top | 67-90 | Win | 100 | 6 h 7 m | Show |
Of course, the total is going to be jacked up for this one with both teams crushing over tickets of late. In the past, the Roadrunners' pace and efficiency have not been as effective against teams over .500 as it is against the lesser teams in CBB. Similar to what UAB does, but their unders tend to be against teams under .500. That's a perfect mix for an easy under. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | East Carolina v. Wichita State OVER 125 | Top | 79-69 | Win | 100 | 6 h 54 m | Show |
The public will likely be all over the under in this game, but history tells us that the Shockers tend to speed the game after a SU loss with a sense of urgency to avenge the loss. This number is too low to go under for me. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | San Jose State v. Colorado State -8 | Top | 78-70 | Loss | -115 | 6 h 42 m | Show |
Four Rams players are averaging double-digit points on the year. Isaiah Stevens had made up for lost time after missing the early part of the season. He debuted on November 30th and in the seven games, he has played the senior guard has averaged 17.1 points on 50% shooting from the field. He has scored in double digits in all games played and has logged three games of 20 or more points. He also averages six assists and two rebounds per game. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | New Mexico v. Wyoming +3.5 | Top | 76-75 | Win | 100 | 6 h 34 m | Show |
Wyoming (5-8, 0-1) rallied from 18 points down at Fresno State on Wednesday before falling 58-53. The Cowboys held Fresno State to 1-of-23 shooting from the field in one stretch of the second half to rally back. "Hopefully, this is a game we can build off of by the way we played defensively in the second half," Wyoming coach Jeff Linder said. "You can't spot a team an 18-point lead. But that's when we had the sense of urgency to guard." Noah Reynolds gave the Cowboys their first lead of the second half, 51-49, on a layup with 3:11 left. He made another layup with 1:36 remaining that put Wyoming ahead, 53-51, but that ended the scoring for the Cowboys. Jemarl Baker hit a go-ahead 3-pointer off an offensive rebound with 1:01 left and the Bulldogs tacked on four free throws to cement the win. Reynolds leads the Cowboys with 14.8 points per game on 53.5 percent shooting from the field. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Green Bay v. Oakland OVER 140 | 65-81 | Win | 100 | 4 h 38 m | Show | |
Both the Oakland Golden Grizzlies and the Wisconsin GB Phoenix have had bad starts, with both teams combining for a 5-23 mark. The Grizzlies' home record is a solid 3-2 at the moment. The team is clearly above the average mark in offense, scoring a decent 72.6 points per game, which ranks 178th in the country while conceding 78.6 points per game, which ranks 349th in the league. It's time for both f these teams to hit an over. |
|||||||
12-31-22 | Texas Tech v. TCU UNDER 140.5 | Top | 61-67 | Win | 100 | 3 h 51 m | Show |
Two months of preparation and mostly successful performances set the table for No. 18 TCU and Texas Tech, who will square off on Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth, Texas, in the Big 12 opener for both teams. The Big 12 is stacked, with five teams ranked in the AP Top 25. Both the Horned Frogs (11-1) and the Red Raiders (10-2) head into league play carrying momentum built on winning streaks and impressive performances. TCU's most recent game was a dominating 103-57 home victory over Central Arkansas on Wednesday. Mike Miles Jr. scored 21 points to lead the Horned Frogs, while Emanuel Miller added 20, Damion Baugh had 13 and Shahada Wells and JaKobe Coles contributed 12 each. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | Blazers v. Warriors OVER 231.5 | 112-118 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 2 m | Show | |
The NBA's best home team will encounter one of its winningest road clubs Friday night when the Golden State Warriors host the Portland Trail Blazers in San Francisco. This edition of the twice-a-year Damian Lillard homecoming occurs as his Trail Blazers have lost some of their road magic. Portland has lost three in a row on the road, but at 10-10 remains one of only three teams in the NBA with double-digit road wins through Thursday. This will be the first of four meetings this season between these Western Conference playoff hopefuls. The Warriors have won three straight at home over the Trail Blazers over the past two seasons, each victory coming by at least 10 points. |
|||||||
12-30-22 | North Carolina -5.5 v. Pittsburgh | Top | 74-76 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 21 m | Show |
There have been signs that No. 25 North Carolina is getting into a groove, and now after a more than a week layoff, the Tar Heels have another chance to show their improvement. North Carolina will begin the sizable portion of its Atlantic Coast Conference schedule by visiting Pittsburgh on Friday afternoon. "I feel like we're in a great situation and our group is definitely battle-tested," Tar Heels guard Caleb Love said. "It's good for us when our back is against the wall and how we fight back. Anything thrown at us, we're going to overcome it." North Carolina (9-4, 1-1 ACC) has won four games in a row. Pittsburgh (9-4, 2-0) will be playing its ACC home opener. The Tar Heels have displayed a more intense nature in recent games. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Colorado +2.5 v. Stanford | Top | 73-70 | Win | 100 | 13 h 22 m | Show |
Colorado and Stanford hope to display new-and-improved editions when they meet Thursday night in Palo Alto, Calif., in a renewal of the Pac-12 men's basketball schedule. Neither team recorded a win in conference play in two opportunities each earlier this month, with the Buffaloes (8-5, 0-2) falling at home to Arizona State and at Washington, while the Cardinal (5-7, 0-2) were beaten at home by UCLA and at Arizona State. Colorado has made the most of four home dates since its 73-63 loss at Washington on Dec. 4, beating Colorado State, North Alabama, Northern Colorado, and Southern Utah by a total of 71 points. The Buffaloes not only used the time away from Pac-12 play to improve emotionally but also physically, with forwards Luke O'Brien and Lawson Lovering now ready to return to action. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Tulane +4.5 v. Cincinnati | Top | 77-88 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
Tulane will be counting on another strong performance from the team’s leading scorer Jaylen Forbes who is averaging 16.82 points per game for the Green Wave. Forbes is also important to the team’s ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Green Wave’s offensive game plan is the play of Kevin Cross who has hit 51.3% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 14.18 points per game. On offense, Tulane comes into the game looking to control the pace of play, as they are just 392nd in possessions per game. Even with their preference to slow the game down, the Green Wave’s scoring at a rate similar to the NCAA average of 73.1 points per game. So far, 38.63% of their shots have come from beyond the arc, where they have connected at a rate of 36.4%. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Knicks v. Spurs UNDER 226.5 | 115-122 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 19 m | Show | |
The New York Knicks and host San Antonio Spurs will look to get back on the winning track when they square off for the first time this season on Thursday night. Both teams dropped games on the road on Tuesday. New York has lost four straight, while the Spurs have been defeated in five of their past seven outings. The Knicks fell 126-121 in overtime in Dallas as Luka Doncic scored a franchise-high 60 points, including a bucket following an intentionally missed free throw with 1 second remaining to send the game to an extra period. New York lost after being up by nine points with 33 seconds left in regulation. Look for both teams to get back to an emphasis on defense. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | St. Thomas v. South Dakota +1.5 | Top | 84-92 | Win | 100 | 11 h 55 m | Show |
On offense, South Dakota comes into the game looking to control the pace of play, as they are just 503rd in possessions per game. Even with their preference to slow the game down, the Coyotes’ are scoring at a rate similar to the NCAA average at 75.1 points per game. So far, 33.22% of their shots have come from beyond the arc, where they have connected at a rate of 37.4%. |
|||||||
12-29-22 | Providence v. Butler -1.5 | Top | 72-52 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 47 m | Show |
It's likely going to take a lot more than a Christmas break to slow down Providence. The Friars have rattled off five straight wins and will find out if their momentum stuck around through the holiday hiatus when they travel to Indianapolis for a meeting with Butler on Thursday night. Providence (10-3, 2-0 Big East) made sure to keep itself off the naughty list, heading into Christmas on the heels of a thrilling 103-98 double-overtime victory against then-No. 24 Marquette on Dec. 20. Bryce Hopkins led the Friars with 29 points and 23 rebounds, both career highs. Devin Carter and Ed Croswell added 20 points apiece and Jared Bynum supplied 16 points and eight rebounds. Although the team will be back in action, classes still will be on hold for nearly three more weeks, meaning basketball becomes the sole focus -- something that the team is relishing. Despite all that, the number suggests a Bulldogs upset. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Air Force v. San Diego State -16 | Top | 55-71 | Push | 0 | 13 h 58 m | Show |
The Falcons have covered seven straight games while the Aztecs are coming off a less-than-impressive performance against UCSD. The bookmakers are laying another trap, begging you to take the Falcons, we're not falling for that as the Aztecs crush Air Force to give us one last win on the night. |

12-28-22 | Arkansas v. LSU +4.5 | Top | 57-60 | Win | 100 | 11 h 12 m | Show |
A pair of one-loss Southeastern Conference foes open the league season with a showdown on Wednesday night when No. 9 Arkansas battles LSU at Baton Rouge, La. The Razorbacks (11-1) have won seven straight games and are playing their first true road game of the season. LSU (11-1) owns a six-game winning streak and is 8-0 at home. Arkansas was predicted to bring a lofty record into SEC play after reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons. LSU's early season success wasn't a guarantee with former Murray State coach Matt McMahon taking over after the end of the controversial Will Wade tenure. But McMahon's rebuilding process received a boost when two of his key Murray State players elected to follow him -- big man KJ Williams and guard Justice Hill. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Wolves +6.5 v. Pelicans | Top | 118-119 | Win | 100 | 10 h 48 m | Show |
The New Orleans Pelicans just played one of their better games of the season while short-handed. They expect to be stronger when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday night. On Monday night, the Pelicans defeated the visiting Indiana Pacers 113-93 despite the absence of their top two scorers: Zion Williamson (illness) and Brandon Ingram (toe). In addition, another starter, Herbert Jones Jr., was sidelined due to health and safety protocol. Two more key rotation players, Trey Murphy III and Dyson Daniels, also were out, both because of non-COVID illnesses. Williamson, who has missed the past three games, said after practice Tuesday that he would play against the Wolves, and coach Willie Green said Murphy and Daniels are probable. Ingram will miss the Wednesday contest, and Jones was listed as questionable. New Orleans gave at least 17 minutes to all nine players that were available Monday and all but one scored. |

12-28-22 | Lakers v. Heat UNDER 225.5 | Top | 98-112 | Win | 100 | 9 h 25 m | Show |
The Miami Heat conclude a four-game homestand on Wednesday, hosting a Los Angeles Lakers team at the midpoint of a pivotal five-game road swing. Los Angeles won the second game of its road trip Tuesday, snapping a four-game skid with a 129-110 rout of Orlando. Russell Westbrook went for a triple-double of 15 points, 13 rebounds, and 13 assists. "I have a responsibility when I have the ball in my hands to make guys better," Westbrook said in his postgame interview with Spectrum SportsNet. "I take pride in that." LeBron James scored 28 points despite shooting 0-of-7 from beyond the 3-point arc. Thomas Bryant scored 21 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, Troy Brown Jr. scored 15 points, Patrick Beverley added 14 points and Lonnie Walker IV chipped in 10. The win marked a significant turnaround from the defensive woes that had plagued the Lakers over the previous four games, including the trip-opening loss on Christmas Day at Dallas. The 124-115 defeat capped a stretch of the Lakers allowing 130.5 points per game over the four-game skid. In each of its last seven losses, Los Angeles has given up at least 122 points. The Lakers have not allowed more than 119 points in any of their last five wins, dating back to Dec. 4. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Mercer v. Samford -1.5 | 69-78 | Win | 100 | 10 h 37 m | Show | |
Samford is scoring a rate similar to the NCAA average at 74.7 points per game. This figure has come despite struggling to knock down shots from outside. Through 13 games, they have only hit 33.5% of their 3-point field goal attempts. For the season, 42.61% of their shots have come from beyond the arc. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Chicago State v. Ball State OVER 138.5 | Top | 63-70 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 28 m | Show |
This is the game where the Chicago State under streak comes to an end after cashing six straight. Bettors have taken the opening number of 143, which was a complete trap, and bet it down to 138.5. This game crawls over the total. |
|||||||
12-28-22 | Kentucky -3 v. Missouri | Top | 75-89 | Loss | -105 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
Kentucky coach John Calipari is bringing a lengthy to-do list as the No. 19 Wildcats begin Southeastern Conference play at Missouri on Wednesday night. The Wildcats (8-3) have lost to Michigan State, Gonzaga, and UCLA. They most recently defeated Florida A&M 88-68 last Wednesday, but they led by just seven points with 5:35 left and Calipari was vexed by his team's defense. "We've got work to do now. We do," Calipari said after the game. "We didn't defend today like we've been defending. It's crazy. I mean, the one thing that we could rely on is that we would really, really guard. Well, they beat us on the bounce, they beat us shooting threes, they beat us offensive rebounding." Now Kentucky must travel to Columbia, Mo., to face the tough Tigers (11-1, 0-0 SEC) as Missouri comes off a 93-71 neutral-court upset of then-No. 16 Illinois on Thursday. |

12-27-22 | South Carolina State v. Texas Tech UNDER 147.5 | Top | 71-110 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 6 m | Show |
First under Chris Beard and now under second-year coach Mark Adams, Texas Tech has been a team that wins with stifling defense and just enough offense. However, the Red Raiders have shown at times this season that they might have more firepower to be able to outscore teams when required. That offense could be on display again Tuesday night in Lubbock, Texas, when the Red Raiders return from their Christmas break with a home game against struggling South Carolina State. Texas Tech (9-2) got 22 points apiece from De'Vion Harmon and Kevin Obanor in a 111-67 rout of Houston Christian on Wednesday, marking the first time since 1996 that the Red Raiders notched consecutive 100-point games. They beat Jackson State 102-52 on Dec. 17. |

12-27-22 | Lakers +3.5 v. Magic | Top | 129-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 38 m | Show |
Two teams trending in opposite directions will meet when the Orlando Magic host the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night. While Orlando has won eight of its last nine, Los Angeles has lost four in a row. The Lakers began a five-game trip with a 124-115 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday. After taking a nine-point lead into halftime, Los Angeles was outscored 51-21 during a disastrous third quarter. "We have to know that it's a 48-minute game; it's not a 24-minute game," Los Angeles coach Darvin Ham said. "We kind of took our foot off the pedal defensively. To give up a 51-point third quarter is just unacceptable. It's completely unacceptable. That's not who we are. That's not who we're going to be." Lakers star LeBron James scored 38 points in the loss. His seven-game streak of at least 30 points is the longest active streak in the league. Los Angeles is being forced to rely on James minus center Anthony Davis, who is out indefinitely with a stress injury in his right foot. The line is telling us that the Lakers are to break the Orlando cover streak here. |

12-27-22 | Jacksonville v. Notre Dame -7.5 | Top | 43-59 | Win | 100 | 9 h 16 m | Show |
Notre Dame will look to snap a three-game losing streak on Tuesday night when it hosts Jacksonville in its final nonconference game of the season at South Bend, Ind. Notre Dame (7-5) won its lone previous matchup against Jacksonville (7-3) in 2018. The Fighting Irish, who have dropped four of their past five overall, including falling into an 0-2 hole to start Atlantic Coast Conference play, need a win before jumping back into conference action with a difficult test on Friday against No. 14 Miami, which currently sits atop the ACC. Notre Dame appeared ready to correct its course last week before blowing an 11-point lead and losing 73-72 to Florida State on Wednesday. One of the Fighting Irish's strengths this season has been their 3-point shooting, averaging 8.9 made triples per game thanks in large part to Dane Goodwin (46.2 percent from deep), Cormac Ryan (45.6 percent) and Nate Laszewski (42.9 percent). |

12-26-22 | Hornets v. Blazers -6 | Top | 113-124 | Win | 100 | 25 h 23 m | Show |
The Charlotte Hornets experience nothing but trouble in Portland and they aim to end a 14-game skid in the Rose City when they visit the Trail Blazers on Monday night. Charlotte last won in Portland on March 29, 2008 when the team was known as the Bobcats and Emeka Okafor was the squad's high scorer with 21 points. Trail Blazers icon Damian Lillard was a high school senior. The Hornets will take another shot at ending the skid during the fifth contest of a six-game road trip that ends Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors. Charlotte is 2-2 on the excursion after outlasting Los Angeles Lakers 134-130 on Friday. The Hornets have won two of their last three games after losing their previous eight contests. Gordon Hayward scored the tiebreaking points with 6.3 seconds left and P.J. Washington added two free throws to seal it. |

12-25-22 | Suns +3.5 v. Nuggets | 125-128 | Win | 100 | 11 h 35 m | Show | |
Last year the Denver Nuggets had the reigning MVP but were left off the NBA's Christmas Day schedule, which some viewed as a snub. Nikola Jokic winning the MVP for a second straight year was too much for the NBA to ignore, so Denver is anchoring the daylong slate of Sunday games. The Nuggets will host the Phoenix Suns in the late matchup, but they won't have their full complement of players. Forward Jeff Green suffered a sprained left finger and a hand fracture in Friday's game and will miss at least four weeks, so he will not be on the primetime Christmas showdown. "I love a TV game. Don't ever turn it down but I don't worry too much about it," Jamal Murray said. "Either I'm playing on Christmas or I'm spending a day with the family." Denver enters Sunday on a three-game winning streak and tied with Memphis for first place in the Western Conference. The Nuggets beat the Grizzlies on Tuesday without Murray, who was resting his sore left knee, and Michael Porter Jr. Porter missed 13 games with a left heel strain but returned Friday night against Portland. He scored 18 points in 27 minutes. |

12-25-22 | Iona v. Pepperdine UNDER 152 | 76-66 | Win | 100 | 4 h 22 m | Show | |
In their final game in Hawaii, the Gaels will seek to repeat their performance against Seattle, which included an effective offensive strategy and a shutdown defensive effort. They rank 11th in the nation for turnovers per game and 52nd for points scored per game. In terms of points allowed, they are rated 68th defensively. |

12-23-22 | George Washington +3.5 v. Pepperdine | Top | 70-81 | Loss | -115 | 11 h 19 m | Show |
The George Washington Colonials were just three seconds away from an opening-round upset win over the Washington State Cougars on Thursday night. Unfortunately, a three-point field goal from the Cougars turned a 64-63 lead into a 66-64 loss. The game was back and forth throughout with Washington State holding a two-point lead at halftime before the two teams battled back and forth in the second half. George Washington had five players in double figures for the game, led by Brendan Adams 17 points. The Colonials shot 49% from the field |

The visiting Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks will try to bounce back from disappointing losses when they meet on Friday for the third time this season.

The Hawks have won the past three contests against Detroit that have been played in Atlanta. Atlanta continues to have trouble closing games. |

12-22-22 | Wizards v. Jazz OVER 229.5 | 112-120 | Win | 100 | 7 h 17 m | Show | |
On Wednesday night, the University of Utah men's basketball team took advantage of a Utah Jazz rest day and played No. 20 TCU on the NBA court just down the street from campus. A couple of players near and dear to the hearts of the Runnin' Utes program will be in the same arena Thursday night when the Washington Wizards visit the Jazz in Salt Lake City. Former Utah standout Kyle Kuzma, having arguably his best NBA season yet, continues to lead the Wizards. Kuzma was an instrumental part of Washington's 121-112 win over the Jazz in D.C. last month, totaling 23 points with eight rebounds and six assists. In his latest outing Tuesday night, the 2017 All-Pac-12 first-teamer scored 29 points with six rebounds and six assists to lift Washington to a 113-110 win at Phoenix. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak for the Wizards, who were in the midst of winning six of seven games when they faced Utah on Nov. 12. |

New Mexico State’s bench did not come through in their opening, scoring a combined four points in the loss. They won the rebounding battle 37-34 despite being ranked 284th in the country in rebounds per game.

Offensive production has been hard to come by for Marist this season, as they are currently ranked 277th in college basketball at 68.8 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that that have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Red Foxes’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 34.4%, placing them 219th in the NCAA. |

No. 7 Texas will seek to build on its three-game winning streak and remain perfect at home when it opposes surging Louisiana on Wednesday night in Austin, Texas. The Longhorns (9-1) held onto the seventh spot in the Associated Press rankings after winning their two most recent games, including 72-62 over Stanford in Dallas on Sunday as part of the Pac-12 Coast-to-Coast Challenge. Marcus Carr scored 17 points and Timmy Allen added 15 and had a key block in the final minute to help Texas hang on for the win. The Longhorns led by 16 points midway through the second half before Stanford roared back to within three with 6:27 remaining. A layup by Allen and two baskets by Carr, the last with 3:50 to play, pushed the Longhorns' advantage to eight points. Stanford never got closer than seven the rest of the way. Sir'Jabari Rice added 15 points for the Longhorns, who forced Stanford into a season-high 18 turnovers. Texas, which is 7-0 at home, has forced at least 17 turnovers in nine of its first 10 contests. Texas was playing its second game without coach Chris Beard, who was suspended indefinitely without pay on Dec. 12 after being arrested and charged with felony domestic assault. Associate head coach Rodney Terry served as acting head coach for the second straight contest for the Longhorns. |

12-21-22 | Bulls v. Hawks UNDER 236 | Top | 110-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 2 m | Show |
The Bulls bounced back on Tuesday after taking a 150-126 beating from the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday in Minneapolis. It was the fourth-most points Chicago has given up in regulation and the most since the Bulls allowed 152 against the Detroit Pistons on Nov. 3, 1982. "It's always great to win, but it's more about how you play," Chicago coach Billy Donovan said after the victory at Miami. "How you play as a group and how you play as a team. It was great to see their hard work rewarded because I felt they put a lot of effort into the game." Nikola Vucevic had 29 points and 12 rebounds for his 14th double-double, DeMar DeRozan had 24 points and Zach LaVine scored 21 against the Heat. "It was good to get a win, get that positive feeling a little bit, especially after that very tough, terrible loss," Vucevic said. "It was needed. Hopefully, we can learn from this." Chicago's Derrick Jones Jr. left the Tuesday game in the third quarter due to a left ankle sprain and did not return. Atlanta's Clint Capela (right calf strain) will miss his third consecutive game on Wednesday. |

12-21-22 | Michigan +5.5 v. North Carolina | Top | 76-80 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show |
Michigan and North Carolina are experienced enough to understand winter missteps are easier to forget with a little success in March. While neither college basketball powerhouse is ready to shed serious aspirations of playing into April 2023, this season is not going according to plan for either program just yet. But expectations could come into focus Wednesday night when the Wolverines and Tar Heels meet at Charlotte, N.C. The neutral-site game comes in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational. The winner of the game takes home a boost in the way of a non-conference victory. "When we get it clicking, just like last year, it's going to be scary," North Carolina guard Leaky Black. "When the games really matter, we'll show up." North Carolina (8-4) has won three in a row since a four-game losing streak knocked it out of the national rankings. |

It won't be long before Florida and Oklahoma are Southeastern Conference foes. For now, though, the Gators and Sooners will play in the final nonconference tune-up before Florida begins SEC play and Oklahoma starts its Big 12 schedule. The teams meet Tuesday in Charlotte, N.C., as part of the two-day Jumpman Invitational. Oklahoma's identity has been clear so far. The Sooners (8-3) are among the nation's most efficient offensive teams, shooting 51.5 percent from the field. Only three teams in Division I are shooting at a better clip. Oklahoma is coming off an 87-66 victory over Central Arkansas where the Sooners shot 63.6 percent from the floor -- their best shooting performance in more than a decade. Over their last three games, the Sooners are shooting 59.6 percent from the field over their last three games. |

12-20-22 | Wizards v. Suns UNDER 229 | 113-110 | Win | 100 | 10 h 5 m | Show | |
The Phoenix Suns will look for a fourth consecutive win on Tuesday when they complete a pair of back-to-back games as the sputtering Washington Wizards visit. Phoenix blasted the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 130-104 on Monday behind a season-high 28 points from Chris Paul. The Suns posted a 12th straight head-to-head victory over the Lakers, who played without LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook. Deandre Ayton gave Phoenix 21 points and 11 rebounds, his third double-double with at least 21 points in his past four games. Monday marked Ayton's return to the lineup from an ankle injury that sidelined him the previous two contests. "My ankle is good," Ayton said following the win. "I tried my best to stay on top of (rehabilitation)." Ayton's play on the interior worked in conjunction with Phoenix's red-hot shooting performance from the outside. The Suns knocked down 20 of 39 3-point attempts in the win despite playing without leading scorer Devin Booker. Booker, who scored 58 points on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans, has missed three of the team's past five games due to a groin injury. His status for the Tuesday contest was uncertain. Phoenix also lost Josh Okogie in the second half on Monday due to right hip soreness. |

No. 22 Miami enters Tuesday's Atlantic Coast Conference contest against No. 6 Virginia with a score to settle. The Hurricanes have lost six straight times to the Cavaliers. But if there's a good time for Miami to catch Virginia, this is it. While the Hurricanes (11-1, 2-0 ACC) have won seven straight, the visiting Cavaliers (8-1, 1-0) are coming off their lone loss, 69-61 to No. 5 Houston. In addition, while Miami's best player, Isaiah Wong, is in perhaps the finest form of his career, Virginia's top dog, Reece Beekman, is struggling with a sore hamstring. Case in point: On Saturday, Wong filled the stat sheet with 22 points, 10 assists, five rebounds, three steals and three blocks in a 91-76 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.). Later in the afternoon, Beekman made one of five shots and scored four points in the loss to Houston. Beekman's injury concerns began when he rolled an ankle on his way to scoring 18 points in a 70-68 win at Michigan. Four days later, Beekman made 1 of 7 shots as Virginia got past Florida State, 62-57, in its ACC opener. |

The Atlanta Hawks will be looking for revenge when they begin a three-game homestand on Monday against the Orlando Magic, who have won six in a row. In their last meeting on Dec. 14 in Orlando, the Magic scored a franchise-record 50 points in the first quarter against the Hawks. It was the most points allowed by Atlanta in a quarter this season and gave the Magic the momentum needed to cruise to a 135-124 win. A franchise-record eight Orlando players scored in double figures in that victory. That was Orlando's first win against Atlanta this season. The Hawks had won the first two games, by 10 and 17 points. This will be the final game of the season series. The Magic began their four-game road trip with two wins over the Boston Celtics, including a 95-92 victory on Sunday.

12-18-22 | Wizards +4.5 v. Lakers | 117-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 55 m | Show | |
Anthony Davis has been able to avoid significant injuries so far this season, but he will sit out due to right foot soreness when the Los Angeles Lakers host the Washington Wizards on Sunday. It will be only the fourth game Davis has missed this season, but the Lakers haven't yet pinned down the severity of the injury. Davis has been injury-prone over his previous 10 seasons with the New Orleans Pelicans (seven) and Lakers (three), averaging just 60.4 games per season. Los Angeles surely is hoping the current ailment doesn't lead to a substantial absence. Davis injured the foot during Friday night's 126-108 home victory over the Nuggets, apparently when he collided with the leg of Denver star Nikola Jokic while both players were in the air. The eight-time All-Star is enjoying a solid campaign with averages of 27.4 points and 12.1 rebounds in 25 games. Fellow star LeBron James said after Friday's game that he's hoping it will be a short absence for Davis. |

The Nets have won five straight games and nine of their last 10 games, although their most recent victory did not come easy. Brooklyn needed a Kyrie Irving 3-pointer just before the final buzzer to defeat the Toronto Raptors 119-116. Irving had never previously drained a buzzer-beating game-winner in his career. He wasn't supposed to take the final shot. Coach Jacque Vaughn drew up a play for Kevin Durant, but Durant felt Irving had the hot hand. |

The Warriors, who will be without Stephen Curry (partially dislocated left shoulder) for a few weeks, lost Friday to the host Philadelphia 76ers 118-106 for their third successive defeat. The Warriors were also without Draymond Green (quadriceps) and Andrew Wiggins (thigh). Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving made a buzzer-beating 3-pointer Friday to give the visiting Brooklyn Nets a 119-116 victory over the Raptors, who lost their fourth straight. The Raptors were without O.G. Anunoby (hip) for the third consecutive game and Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) was a late scratch. The Warriors did get some good news when Wiggins was cleared to return to practice on Thursday. He was injured while scoring 36 points against the Houston Rockets on Dec. 3. This is the first meeting of the season between the teams who met in 2019 NBA Finals, won by Toronto. The Warriors, the reigning NBA champions, will be playing the fourth game of a six-game trip. The Raptors will complete a three-game homestand. |

The Pacers endured that rollercoaster Friday against the Cavaliers, who are in the thick of the race for the top overall seed in the Eastern Conference. Indiana led for more than 27 straight minutes between the second and fourth quarters and held its biggest lead at 103-90 with nine minutes left before Donovan Mitchell sparked Cleveland's comeback by scoring 16 points down the stretch, including the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3:41 remaining. The loss was the seventh in the last 10 games for the Pacers, whose last four defeats have been by six points or fewer against teams that are currently occupying a playoff or play-in spot. Indiana lost to the Brooklyn Nets 136-133 on Dec. 10 before falling to the Miami Heat 87-82 on Monday. The loss Friday dropped the Pacers (15-15) into a three-way tie with the Heat and Atlanta Hawks for seventh in the East, 1 1/2 games behind the Knicks, who are in the final guaranteed playoff spot. |

Arizona (9-1), which loves to play fast, is first in adjusted offensive efficiency and leads the country in scoring (92.0 points per game) and shooting percentage (54.7). "It's going to be a fistfight," said Arizona coach Tommy Lloyd, whose program has won 24 consecutive games at McKale Center. "That's the way they play, and there's just no other way to describe it. If you think you're going to go in and win this game by being dainty and cute, you've got another thing coming. We're excited for the challenge, and it's a great program coming to McKale. I think Coach (Rick) Barnes is one of the best ever to do it, so it's an honor for us to compete against them."

12-17-22 | Jazz v. Bucks UNDER 230.5 | 97-123 | Win | 100 | 7 h 9 m | Show | |
On a night when the Utah Jazz picked up a second consecutive win over the team that had the best record in the Western Conference, the Milwaukee Bucks had one of those games you would just rather forget. Milwaukee fell behind Memphis by 15 points at the end of the first quarter, trailed by 29 at halftime, was outscored 47-30 in the third quarter and ended up getting blown away 142-101 by the Grizzlies on the road. "We were just beaten soundly in every way, shape and form, and we have to own that," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. The Jazz will try to build on the momentum they gained with a pair of nice victories over the New Orleans Pelicans at home earlier this week and the Bucks will try to get back to their usual selves when the two teams meet up Saturday in Milwaukee. The Bucks should be plenty rested. Budenholzer let his reserves play most of the second half after it was clear that a win just wasn't in the cards. Giannis Antetokounmpo, who only played 26 minutes, and Bobby Portis led Milwaukee in scoring with 19 points apiece. |

12-17-22 | Grizzlies v. Thunder UNDER 234 | 109-115 | Win | 100 | 7 h 5 m | Show | |
Dillon Brooks doesn't lead the Memphis Grizzlies in any of the traditional defensive categories. But Brooks' defensive intensity has been among the major catalysts for the seven-game winning streak the Grizzlies carry into the game against the Thunder on Saturday in Oklahoma City. "I don't get the steals or the big-time blocks, but I'm going to give fits to whoever I got that night," Brooks said. In Memphis' most recent game, a 142-101 throttling of Milwaukee on Thursday, Brooks was a major reason Bucks star Khris Middleton finished with more turnovers (four) than points (three), going just 1 of 12 from the field. Ja Morant draws plenty of headlines, but Brooks has been one of the Grizzlies' most important players. "(Brooks) is the ultimate competitor, and he wants to win," Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said. "That is what it comes down to. We talk all the time about his energy, his spirit, the tone-setting he has, but he is relentless in how he approaches the game." Brooks figures to draw another tough assignment against the Thunder, when he will likely spend significant time guarding Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who comes into Saturday's game averaging 31.2 points per game -- third-best in the NBA. |

12-17-22 | CS Sacramento +9.5 v. Fresno State | 59-53 | Win | 100 | 8 h 50 m | Show | |
Sacramento State will be counting on another strong performance from the team’s leading scorer Zach Chappell who is averaging 15.7 points per game for the Hornets. Chappell is also important to the team’s ability to score on the perimeter. So far, he leads the team in 3-point shots made. Also key to the Hornets’ offensive gameplan is the play of Akolda Mawein who has hit 56.3% of his field goal attempts on his way to averaging 10.8 points per game. |

12-17-22 | Texas A&M +6.5 v. Memphis | 79-83 | Win | 100 | 8 h 35 m | Show | |
Texas A&M is looking to build momentum after its latest win. Memphis is hoping to bounce back after nearly pulling off an upset of a nationally ranked opponent. Saturday night will determine which team gets things to go its way as the Aggies hit the road for a nonconference battle against the Tigers. A&M (6-3) topped Oregon State 72-54 on Sunday behind an impressive defensive effort, particularly in the second half when it limited the Beavers to 24 points. It's the fourth time this season the Aggies have held a team to fewer than 60. "I think that when we're hooked up on defense, we're one of the best in the country," guard Dexter Dennis told 12thman.com. "We try to do that as much as we can, and the coach (Buzz Williams) gets all the credit. Coach has been doing a good job of making sure we're getting better every day, improving our weaknesses as a team and as individuals. All of the credit goes to coach." |
|||||||
12-17-22 | Davidson +15.5 v. Purdue | 61-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 2 m | Show | |
Davidson (7-3) hasn't played since a Dec. 7 victory against visiting Western Carolina. That halted a two-game skid that included a two-point overtime loss to Charlotte and a two-point setback at Delaware. "We made a major, major emphasis about what we can do about our (situational) defensive mentality," first-year Davidson coach Matt McKillop said. "When you do good things on the defensive end, it gives you confidence. It gives you energy." The Wildcats will need that defensive attentiveness in dealing with Purdue. Center Zach Edey of Purdue has been named the Big Ten Player of the Week for the past three weeks. He's averaging 22.0 points per game, despite a season-low 11 in last Saturday's overtime victory at Nebraska, to go with a nation's-best 13.7 rebounds per outing. |

12-17-22 | Toledo +3.5 v. Marshall | 85-100 | Loss | -115 | 4 h 24 m | Show | |
The Toledo Rockets have played well offensively this season, as they are averaging 89.3 points while shooting an impressive 47.7 percent from the floor. We'll take a team that can hit almost 90 points a game and the points. |

12-16-22 | Chicago State v. Southern Illinois UNDER 132 | 52-63 | Win | 100 | 7 h 13 m | Show | |
The Chicago State Cougars are brutal this season as they are 275th in the nation with 68.3 points per game thus far and shooting 42.5 percent from the floor and are averaging 11.3 assists per game. Defensively, they are giving up 76.4 points per game, which is 337th in the country. |

12-15-22 | Seattle University v. Oregon State UNDER 136.5 | Top | 58-73 | Win | 100 | 6 h 27 m | Show |
The Oregon State Beavers are coming off a tough 72-54 road loss against the Texas A&M Aggies and they were only able to score 24 points in the second half of the game. They were not able to shoot the ball well as they finished shooting 36.5 percent throughout the game, 32.1 percent from beyond the arc, and 11 free-throw shots. Freshman guard Jordan Pope led Oregon State as in 36 minutes he finished with 15 points and five assists. |
|||||||
12-15-22 | Cal-Irvine v. Santa Clara OVER 146 | 74-86 | Win | 100 | 6 h 57 m | Show | |
Three starters logged double figures for the Anteaters in their last time out. DJ Davis led the way with 17 points and Dawson Baker had 16 points to go five rebounds. Baker also went 3-4 from deep. The Anteaters have been a good deep from deep this year and they continued that by shooting 42.9% beyond the arc against South Dakota. On the season UC Irvine is scoring 73.6 points per game and shooting 43.5% from the floor. They take about 20 3-pointers per game and they are top 10 in 3-point percentage, knocking them down at a 40.4% clip. |

12-15-22 | Chattanooga v. Middle Tennessee UNDER 139 | 82-73 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 2 m | Show | |

12-14-22 | Wolves +6.5 v. Clippers | 88-99 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 8 m | Show | |
The Los Angeles Clippers are "oh, so close" to being whole again and just showed what their full potential can be in advance of a meeting with the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. The Clippers got off to a hot start Monday, overcame a second-quarter lull and cruised to a 113-93 victory over the NBA-best Boston Celtics. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George led the Clippers in scoring as expected, with a combined 51 points, but it was the Los Angeles defense that showed why the team is finally becoming one to reckon with. The Clippers held the Celtics below 100 points for the first time this season, showing a complete package in just the eighth game this season that Leonard and George have played together. "We did a great job pretty much across the whole board," George said. "... Of course, you could nitpick and probably clean up a lot of possessions, but I think when you look at this game overall, we did pretty much everything that we wanted to do from a game plan standpoint." Close to a return is sharpshooter Norman Powell (groin), who would give Los Angeles its full array of talent. After missing the last seven games, Powell could be back as soon as Wednesday. As well-rounded as the Clippers can potentially be as a team, it is Leonard that was expected to guide the way. His 25 points Monday came mostly on 10-of-12 shooting from the field. |

12-14-22 | Cavs +2.5 v. Mavs | 105-90 | Win | 100 | 5 h 11 m | Show | |
Free throws have been especially costly this season for the Dallas Mavericks, who host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday. Dallas is 14-13 while shooting just 72.7 percent from the foul line, which ranks 29th in the league. Memphis is the only team with a lower percentage (70.2). "Literally, we'd probably have five more wins if we could shoot free throws," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said. "Easily. It's just the way it goes. We went through the same things early last year and for some reason it's been an Achilles heel." Dallas showed some improvement in its last game, a 121-114 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday. The Mavericks snapped a two-game losing skid while making 21 of 25 (84 percent) from the foul line. Luka Doncic returned after missing one game to rest his right quad contusion and tallied 38 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, while Spencer Dinwiddie recorded his first double-double of the season with 20 points and 10 assists. Doncic has opened the season by scoring at least 20 points in 34 straight games, matching Mark Aguirre's 1983-84 Mavericks record. The Mavericks have won seven of the past eight meetings against Cleveland. They will face the Cavs twice in the next four days, as Dallas hosts Portland on Friday before starting a four-game road trip Saturday in Cleveland. |

12-14-22 | UCLA v. Maryland UNDER 142 | 87-60 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 38 m | Show | |
Future Big Ten Conference counterparts No. 16 UCLA and No. 20 Maryland will meet Wednesday in College Park, Md., for a nonconference showdown. The Bruins (8-2) carry a five-game winning streak to meet an opponent that beginning in 2024-25 will be a league foe. Until then, the Terrapins (8-2) are the first of UCLA's final three nonconference opponents before diving into the heart of Pac-12 play. UCLA's final nonleague stretch sends it to the East Coast for a pair of high-profile dates this week, with a Saturday matchup against Kentucky at Madison Square Garden looming. The trip to Maryland marks just the second true road game for the Bruins, who won their first and only road game Dec. 1 at Stanford. That Pac-12 victory came amid UCLA's ongoing winning streak, which extended with Saturday's 87-64 blowout of Denver. The Bruins doubled their halftime lead from nine to 18 points less than two minutes into the second half, taking control and never looking back. |

12-14-22 | UCF v. Ole Miss OVER 129.5 | 72-61 | Win | 100 | 3 h 15 m | Show | |
After being stung with its first two losses of the season, Ole Miss bounced back with its best offensive performance of the year. UCF's offense also was exceptional in its most recent game. The Rebels (7-2) will host the Knights (7-2) in what could be a high-scoring nonconference game Wednesday night in Oxford, Miss. Ole Miss posted season highs for points, field-goal percentage, assists and steals as it led wire-to-wire in a 98-61 home victory against Valparaiso on Saturday. "I really thought this was obviously the best offensively that we've played," Rebels coach Kermit Davis said. Ole Miss, which lost to Oklahoma (59-55) on a neutral court and to Memphis on the road (68-57), had its best offensive half of the season against Valparaiso, opening a 39-19 lead on its way to a 53-30 halftime edge. Every Rebel who played in the game scored as Ole Miss came within one basket of reaching triple digits for the first time in five years. "It was good to see everybody play," Davis said. "We had 54 points off the bench, which was over half of our points and is a positive. It was good to have a win like that." UCF, meantime, were playing just their third game in nearly three weeks when they enjoyed their most productive long-range shooting effort of the season. |

12-14-22 | Hawks v. Magic UNDER 225 | 124-135 | Loss | -110 | 3 h 1 m | Show | |
The suddenly surging Orlando Magic will carry a three-game winning streak into the finale of a five-game homestand Wednesday night when they host the Atlanta Hawks. Orlando lost nine straight and 11 of 12 prior to a 116-111 overtime defeat of the Los Angeles Clippers on Dec. 7. That win led to successive home victories over Toronto on Friday and Sunday. The winning streak is just the second of the Magic's season, and the team's longest since February 2021. The most recent time Orlando won four games in a row was the first four games of the 2020-21 season. "We're asking our guys to defend at a high level, which they did," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said after Orlando's 111-99 win over the Raptors on Sunday. "We are asking them to share the basketball and move the basketball, which they did. They're trusting each other and communicating with each other, staying poised down the stretch, which they've done. "We're moving in the right direction, and we've got to continue to that." Rookie standout Paolo Banchero's return to the lineup last month from a nearly three-week absence has helped buoy Orlando. Banchero's 20 points Sunday marked his fourth consecutive game with at least 20. He is also averaging 8.8 rebounds in that stretch. Second-year wing Franz Wagner also has keyed the Magic's winning streak. He followed a season-high 34-point performance in the first win over Toronto with 23 points and 3-of-5 shooting from 3-point range in the second victory. |

12-14-22 | Ohio v. Florida UNDER 143.5 | 48-82 | Win | 100 | 3 h 42 m | Show | |
The Florida Gators will look to regroup from their worst home loss in nearly a quarter of a century when they face Ohio on Wednesday night in Tampa, Fla. The Gators (6-4) are coming off a 75-54 loss last Wednesday to then-No. 5 UConn. The 21-point setback was Florida's largest margin of defeat at the O'Connell Center in Gainesville since a 79-54 blowout loss to No. 8 Kentucky on Feb. 18, 1998. Florida led UConn 5-4 and then missed 11 consecutive shots as the Huskies raced to an 18-7 advantage. For the game, the Gators shot just 30.2 percent from the floor and had only six assists. With a seven-day layoff since the UConn loss, the Gators say they have focused on themselves, using the extra practice time to make offensive tweaks and emphasize getting stops in transition defense. |
|||||||
12-13-22 | Eastern Washington v. Texas Tech UNDER 134.5 | 70-77 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 35 m | Show | |
Offensive production has been hard to come by for Texas Tech this season, as they are currently ranked 182nd in college basketball at 71.7 points per game. A major reason for low scoring totals is the fact that that have played at a below average pace, and have struggled to knock down outside shots. As a team, the Red Raiders’ 3-point shooting percentage sits at just 31.4%, placing them 394th in the NCAA. |

12-13-22 | North Carolina A&T v. Houston UNDER 129.5 | 46-74 | Win | 100 | 5 h 27 m | Show | |
Houston lost for the first time this season and will no longer be the No. 1 team in the country when it hosts North Carolina A&T on Tuesday night. The fifth-ranked Cougars (9-1) blew a 15-point, second-half lead during Saturday's 71-65 loss to then-No. 8 Alabama but coach Kelvin Sampson made it clear there is no reason to panic over the setback. "That's the No. 8 ranked team in the nation, so no shame losing to a good Alabama team," Sampson said. "Disappointed, obviously, since we haven't lost a lot in this building (Fertitta Center), but give Alabama credit. They did a great job in that second half. "We could have played better, but we just have to stay with it. It's a long season. We have only played 10 games, and last time I checked, we have to play (at least) 22 more." Alabama's point total was easily the most allowed by the Cougars, who ranked second in scoring defense (49.7 points per game) entering Sunday's play. The previous high came in a 66-56 win over Oregon on Nov. 20. Guard Jamal Shead was highly disappointed in the way his team defended -- or didn't defend. |

12-13-22 | Green Bay v. St. Thomas UNDER 137.5 | Top | 61-82 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 23 m | Show |
Needless to say, every trend is telling the public to go over the total, but I think the opening number of 140 was too much and it looks like the public has followed suit. I do think you'll be able to get a better number on this total once the squares start betting this morning. |

12-12-22 | Cavs v. Spurs UNDER 220 | 111-112 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 30 m | Show | |
The San Antonio Spurs will look to add to their modest winning streak and get some of their walking wounded back in the rotation when they square off with the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday. The Spurs (8-18) head home after a quick but successful road jaunt, druing which they defeated the Miami Heat 115-111 on Saturday to win their second straight game. San Antonio got two late jumpers from Devin Vassell and held on as the Heat missed two 3-point attempts in the closing seconds. "In general, the whole team did a good job," San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. "They're behind the curve coming out every night with all the injuries, and they haven't missed a beat. They've competed really well and we hit some timely shots (against Miami) down the stretch." San Antonio was led by Keldon Johnson's 21 points in the win and got a career-high 19 from Romeo Langford. Vassell, who had missed the Spurs' previous contest due to a knee injury, contributed 18 points. Doug McDermott added 13 points and San Antonio shot 53.8 percent from the floor and forged a 46-32 rebounding advantage. |

12-12-22 | Rice v. Texas -24 | 81-87 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 11 m | Show | |
No. 7 Texas experienced its first loss of the season last week, but that isn't the same sort of adversity the Longhorns will be facing Monday night when they host Rice in Austin, Texas. Longhorns players woke up Monday to the news that their head coach, Chris Beard, had been arrested in Austin and jailed on a charge of assault of a family or household member, with impeding "breath circulation" part of the charge. He was still in custody as of mid-morning as he awaited an appearance before a judge. Texas issued a brief statement. "The university is aware of the situation regarding Chris Beard. We are continuing to gather information and monitor the legal process," it read. The athletic department did not immediately announce whether Beard would be on the sidelines, but it is unlikely. Associate head coach Rodney Terry has 10 years of head-coaching experience at Fresno State (2011-18) and at UTEP (2018-21). The team will have to switch focus to Rice on Monday. |

12-12-22 | Monmouth v. Syracuse UNDER 142 | 71-86 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Monmouth has struggled this season, and have been the underdog in all of their ten games. In their defense, they have faced a relatively difficult non-conference schedule, KenPom has their adjusted non-conference schedule ranked as the 45th most difficult in the nation. Against Princeton, Monmouth got down 30-19 with four minutes left in the first half and the game never got closer as Princeton closed out an easy 37-point win. Monmouth only had one player reach double figures and he came off the bench, junior forward Kleman Vuga finished with ten points. Monmouth's one win on the season came in the previous game beating Manhattan 76-69 as 5.5-point underdogs. |

The Orlando Magic will be try to complete a two-game sweep of the visiting Toronto Raptors on Sunday, which would give them their first three-game winning streak of the season. The Magic beat the Raptors 113-109 Friday night to win their second straight game following a nine-game slide. The game was tied when Franz Wagner made a putback after Markelle Fultz missed a jumper with 26.9 seconds to play in the fourth quarter. "He's about winning," Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said after Wagner scored 34 points. "We've said this from the beginning of the year: He's one of the most competitive guys I've been around. Add that to the basketball IQ on top of that, that's what makes him special." Wagner shot 12-of-15 from the field and made all eight of his free throws. |
