5*Ohio State -3.5

Ohio State is an undervalued team in this region. They could have easily been a five seed but stumbled late. VCU is easier to slow down without Weber. Look for Ohio State to play a complete game and advance to the next round.

5*Texas -1.5

Texas is the best shot-blocking team in America and will be playing with a chip on its shoulder. They are underrated in this spot and should win going away.

5*Memphis -2

The Grizzlies had a late meltdown against Minnesota and should be very focused against a team they might play in the NBA Finals. Memphis committed a season-high 21 turnovers and shot just 5-17 (29%) from 3-point land, while the Hawks were 13-25 (52%) from behind the arc in their home victory over the Grizzlies about one month ago. Z. Randolph did not play in that game. Memphis has the size and skill to matchup with the surprising Hawks. Look for the home team to improve to 11-3 SU in revenge games this season! 

4*St Bonaventure +3

4*Portland Trail Blazers -4

4*Memphis Grizzlies -2

10*Portland +7

Big revenge game for the road team as they committed 18 turnovers when the Hawks won in Portland on 1/2/15. Damian Lillard shot 4-for-19 in the loss to Cleveland, and he should have a big "chip" on his shoulder after the All-Star snub with a huge bounce back game. The NBA is all about matchups and Portland has the size and speed to play with the Hawks. A Portland outright win would not shock me.

5*Boise State -1.5

Colorado State is coming off a big revenge win over SD state. The Broncos play great defense at home so lets lay the small number.

10*Colorado State -2

This will be the second consecutive high-altitude game for SD State in four days, and they have a big revenge tilt on deck against Fresno State. We absolutely love playing the altitude-versus-sea-level angle when using winning teams looking to avenge a series loss from the previous year. The Rams were defeated by the Aztecs twice last season by 10 and 9 points. The host is 2-0 SU when playing with 5 to 7 days of rest this season, and 5-1 SU when playing on Saturday. Lay the small number!

5*Memphis Grizzlies -5

This will be the Raptors 3rd game in four nights. Toronto has stumbled against winning teams this month. Also, Toronto defeated the Grizzlies back in November in comeback fashion and celebrated a little too much. Memphis has revenge on their minds. Take the home team!

5*Dallas Mavericks +3.5

This will be the 3rd game in four days for Memphis. Dallas has talked about needing to be more physical when matching up against the Grizzlies. Mike Conley is not expected to play for the host as he is nursing two sprained ankles. Dallas is 6-3 SU when playing with two days of rest.

4*Toronto Raptors +1

5*Sacramento Kings +5.5

The Kings have revenge on their minds after the Pelicans defeated Sacramento 106-100 on 11/16/14 in Sacramento. Eric Gordon is OUT for this game and he had 17 points in that contest. Take the road dog!

5*Oregon +5.5

5*Miami Heat +2.5

The Heat played a sloppy game against the Pacers and they all know it. I like this veteran team to bounce back with Bosh and Wade leading the way. Miami has a quality win at Dallas as 8-point dogs. The Heat are on a mission this season after LeBron James said goodbye in the off-season. Atlanta has a big game on deck against James and Cavs tomorrow. Take the road team!

4*LA Lakers +10.5

5*Sacramento Kings +7

The Kings will be a tough matchup for the Mavs on this night. Sacramento is eager to end its 20-game road losing streak at Dallas. The Kings last win in Dallas was back in 2003, when DeMarcus Cousins was just 11 years old. Both teams have very similar stats on offense and defense. The Kings have a quality win at LA Clippers (as 9.5-point dogs) and they come into this game 10-2 ATS after a SU loss. This should be a very tight game so take the points.

5*New Orleans -3

The Pelicans will be a tough matchup for the Hornets after allowing all five starters reach double digits in scoring during last night's ugly loss. New Orleans shot 33% last night and should bounce back at home against a team that struggles against the West. New Orleans shot 16% (4-24) from 3-point land and I look for a much better effort at home.

4*Miami Heat -3.5

5*Indiana Pacers +2.5

5*Indiana Pacers +3.5

The Miami Heat will bring out the best of the Pacers. Miami knocked them out last season and you can be sure the Pacers will be focused here at home. The home team has won 8 straight in this head-to-head series. This will be a long series and I like the Pacers at home in game one.

4*LA Clippers -4.5

5*Houston Rockets +4

5*Washington Wizards +4.5

The Wizards are 5-2 vs. Chicago since 1/13/2014 and one of the defeats was by just 3 points. Washington has too much size and speed for this current Bulls roster to matchup with. Take the road team in this upset maker!

5*Washington Wizards -1.5

5*Dallas Mavs +9.5
