T.C.U. at Iowa State 7:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Cyclones- Both of these Big-12 clubs are having disappointing seasons as they enter this contest winning just 3-of-10. TCU who has 16 wins on the year is just 1-8 on the road and the home Cyclones have suffered their two worst losses in school history. Iowa State is 2-6 ATS in their last eight while the Horned Frogs are 2-7 ATS in their last nine. (not that much on either side) But, TCU has won the last five meetings win a non-cover OT win 81-79 this season. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!

Miami at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Heat- Miami has established themselves as one of the more dominate teams when play at home winning 23 of 26 but don't even break even on the road losing 17 of 30. Cleveland seems to have more bounce in their step since acquiring Andre Drummond to side up with Tristian Thompson. The Cavaliers has lost eight straight times to the Heat including a 124-105 trouncing on Saturday and will seek revenge with Kevin Love returning to the lineup and Miami will be playing without their biggest impact talent Jimmy Butler. The heat are 3-8 ATS in the last 11 games as road favorites and 1-5 ATS in their last six road games overall. Take CLEVELAND!

Louisville at Florida State 7:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Seminoles- No. 8 Florida State is one of the more talented teams in the nation and have won their last three and six of seven. Louisville who has a deep basketball tradition is 23-5 on the season and have only one player scoring in double-digits. That is a testament to a well coached team with balance. The Seminoles took the first meeting at Louisville 78-65 in early January a stinging loss that grounded the Cardinals. Louisville is 5-0 ATS in their last five against teams with winning records and the road team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Take LOUISVILLE!

San Antonio at Oklahoma City 7:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Thunder- The the longest road trip each season in the NBA the Spurs finish their annual eight-game Rodeo Road trip in Oklahoma City today. San Antonio started by dropping their first five-game on this extended trip but have recovered with a pair of consecutive wins. The Thunder have won their last two and 11 of their last 14 and play 13 of their next 20 on the road. Although San Antonio has struggled against the thunder in OKC they are 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings overall. Rake SAN ANTONIO!

Washington at Chicago 7:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Wizards- A pair of also-rans that appear headed in opposite directions as Washington had won five of seven prior to their home loss to the Cavaliers while Chicago is in the mists of a season high eight-game losing streak. The Bulls have plenty of fight in them and sometimes it is misdirected as Zach LaVine and coach Jim Boylen going at each other before the end of the Bulls lost to the Suns Friday night. The Wizards are nothing special as they are 4-13 ATS as favorites on the road. Take CHICAGO!

Indiana at Toronto 6:00 ET

Pacers (+) over Raptors- Toronto who many though would take a step down after losing Kawhi Leonard to the Clippers but have played like true Champions without him. The Raptors lost their final game before the All-Star break ending a franchise record 15-game winning streak but rebounded (noticed how I fit that in) with a 118-101 win over Phoenix. Meanwhile, Indiana ended a six game losing streak with a win over Milwaukee and are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games. As good as the Raptors have been they are just 2-8 ATS in games following a win by 10-points or more. Take INDIANA!

Maryland at Ohio State 4:00 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Terrapins- No. 7 Maryland is in high gear winning their last nine and has a two-game lead in the Big Ten with five games to go in the regular season. Ohio State had won five of six before getting bested by Iowa Thursday 67-55. The Buckeyes are young and rely on defense and play it better at home where they are 13-5 ATS as favorites. As a mater of fact the favorite is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the Terrapins are 3-8-1 ATS on Sundays. Take OHIO STATE!

Rutgers at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin is battling its way into Big Dance contention with three straight wins and is cocky about today's matchup as they seek a bit of revenge against the Scarlet Knights who handed the Badgers a loss in Piscataway 72-65. But, Rutgers is a tougher club this season and is 12-5-1 in their last 18 games overall and 10-4-2 ATS in their last 16 games as underdogs. The Badgers are 1-4-2 ATS following a straight-up win. Take RUTGERS! 

Penn State at Indiana 12:00 ET

Hoosiers (+) over Nittany Lions- Penn State is one of the surprise teams in the Big Ten as the 9th ranked Lions are just two-games behind Maryland. They had their eight-game winning streak stop by Illinois this week and are facing a nemeses in the Hoosiers who have won 11 of the last 14 meetings. Indiana is 13-3 at home and have defeated four ranked teams in Florida State, Iowa, Michigan State and Ohio State. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings and get it done once again. Take INDIANA!

Philadelphia at Milwaukee 8:30 ET

76ers (+) over Bucks- This certainly is the NBA Match-up of the day as league's best to date host one of their top challengers. Milwaukee who is on pace for 70 wins is 14-games ahead of second place Indiana in the Central and are 25-3 SU at home while Philadelphia is a weak 9-19 on the road and are 0-7-1 ATS in their last eight as underdogs. The Bucks are 6-0 ATS as favorites in their last six games overall but those 'numbers' may have little to say about tonight's outcome. Having been call-out of late Joel Embiid boasted that he was the best player in the world after scoring 39 points with 19 rebounds against Brooklyn last time out on Thursday. These two clubs met Christmas Day with the 76ers winning 121-109 as Embiid had 31 points and 11 rebounds. Going against the Bucks the Sixers will have to deal with the 'other' best player in the league in Giannis Antetokounmpo so this could be interesting. I expect this game to go down to the final buzzer. Take PHILADELPHIA! 

Phoenix at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Suns- The Bulls have lost seven in-a-row including their first game after the break at home losing to Charlotte 103-93. The Suns have come a long way this season and a few injuries have slowed down their progress but their young sharp shooter Devin Booker and imposing center Deandre Ayton. Chicago who has lost 17 of 23 but leading scorer Zack LaVine is up for the challenge. Phoenix is 5-16 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 0-5 ATS in their last five road games. Take CHICAGO!

L.S.U. at South Carolina 6:00 ET

Gamecocks (+) over Tigers- Yeah, well this one look bogus to me...after losing their last two at Alabama and at home to Kentucky the oddsmaker seems to think that LSU is ready to swoon. The Gamecocks have been sneaking up on people as the leaders knocked each other around they have won five of six. The Tigers find them selves in almost the same spot as last year when the entered Columbia on a 3-game slide and posted a 89-67 victory to end their slide. This year it's only at two-games until the final buzzer here...then it will be three. Take SOUTH CAROLINA! 

Florida State at N.C. State 4:00 ET

Wolfpack (+) over Seminoles- Was it just a flash-in-the-pan or was the 88-66 rout of Duke a major step forward for N.C State. The Wolfpack knew the game against Blue Devils was big and hope to keep their momentum together against #8 Florida State who hasn't won in Raleigh since 2016. The Seminoles won last season in Tallahassee 78-73 as the pack cashed I at plus-7. Florida State is good and has some great athletes that NC State can match. Take the WOLFPACK!

Villanova at Xavier 2:30 ET

Musketeers (+) over Wildcats- It appears the Wildcats are back on track rebounding from three straight conference losses with a trio of wins including a pair of 20-point wins their last two times out. Villanova already has a win over the Musketeers 68-82 as Xavier looks to get even (6-7) in conference play having covered the previous three meetings. Xavier has posted four wins in their last five overall with their lone loss at Butler 10 days ago. Take XAVIER! 

Marquette at Providence 12:00 ET

Golden Eagles (+) over Friars- I like this matchup and the way it sets up as the home team Providence has won their last two in Big East action while Marquette has dropped their last two. The Friars are a half-game ahead of the Golden Eagles and have a 81-80 overtime win in the first meeting on January 7. Smarting form their loss at Villanova and at home against Creighton the well rested Eagles are ready to fly after having played just once in the last 10 days. Take MARQUETTE! 

Virginia at Pittsburgh 12:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Cavaliers- Hey, folks Virginia may have won three straight and six of seven but they are not a Final-4 caliber team like in recent past. The Cavaliers have lost that edge that brought them where they are as their 6-16 ATS record will attest. Pittsburgh has dropped their last three but still has a respectable 15 wins on the season and are 1-6 ATS in the last seven meetings with the price never below -6. Now, they are a long field goal and it doesn't make sense. Take the PANTHERS! 

San Antonio at Utah 9:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Jazz- San Antonio hasn't played in 10 days and are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they play their seventh of eight straight games away from home. The Spurs have made the NBA Playoffs 22 straight years and are currently the 10th seed in the Western Conference have their worst record 23-31 at the break in 25 years. The Spurs who had no reps at the All-Star break will be well rested and ready to go as they are 7-2 ATS with 3 or more days rest. Utah is 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games as favorites. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Cleveland and Washington 7:00 ET

Cavaliers (+) over Wizards- Well, the players on the Eastern Conferences' worst team got their wish as head coach John Beilein vacated his position as this bunch of professionals refused to accept the basic fundamentals of the game. J.B. Bickerstaff takes over the helm for the Cavaliers and now has the NBA's leading rebounder in Andre Drummond to pair with Tristan Thompson and they posted a win I their first game together before the break. The Cavaliers are 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Washington and are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games. Rake CLEVELAND!

Dallas at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Mavericks- The Dallas Mavericks is 33-22 at the break and are tied with Oklahoma City for the 7thseed in the Western Conference. The key to the Mavs resurgence has been the play of Luca Doncic who miss seven games before the break with Dallas losing five but rebounded with a 20-point win over the Kings when he returned to the lineup. Orlando who has struggled offensively posted a pair of wins before the break scoring 135 and 116 points after having lost 8-of-10. The Mavericks have had the best of the Magic winning 10 of the last 13 meetings in Orlando. Ugly trends surround the Magic as they are 1-6 ATS in their last seven home games and 2-9 ATS overall in their last 11 as host. Still, the Mavs fall short here. Take ORLANDO!

Pennsylvania at Dartmouth 7:00 ET

Big Green (+) over Quakers- So, they even do it in the Ivy's...yep. Here is Penn winners of six of seven both SU and ATS with a 54-46 win and cover over Dartmouth Feb 1 a meager favorite at a 9-14 club. The Big Green ended a nine game losing streak with a win over Columbia on Valentine's Day and followed that with a 75-53 win over Cornell. The home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings. Take DARTMOUTH!

Memphis at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Grizzlies- Memphis has moved into the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference by winning eight of their last 10 games outright. These two clubs met on January 2 and were both at 13-22 at that time, but, since then the Grizzlies have gone 15-4 and the Kings 8-11. Sacramento won that matchup 128-123 after overcoming a 20-point deficit. Jabari Parker is expected to make his team debut for the Kings tonight after being acquired from Atlanta. Although the Kings are 5-12-11 ATS in their last 18 home gams they are 4-1 ATS against the Grizzlies at home and they are 19-7 ATS when playing with three or more days rest. Take SACRAMENTO! 

Oregon at Arizona State 9:00 ET

Sun Devils (+) over Ducks- The Sun Devils have won five straight Pac-12 games are tied for third with Arizona and trail the conference leaders by a half-game. Co-leader No. 16 Oregon who just swept conference co-leader Colorado and has a win over State 78-69 in Eugene. The Ducks have been a money maker and are 26-11 ATS in their last 37 games overall but just 1-4 ATS in their last five road games. ASU's good play winning 8-of-9 is supported at home where they are 7-1-1 ATS in nine games as home underdogs. Take ARIZONA STATE!

U.S.C. at Colorado 9:00 ET

Buffaloes (-) over Trojans- No. 18 Colorado is joined by Oregon at the top of the PAC-12 with six teams within a half-game of the lead. The Buffs are 12-2 SU at home and have had the best of it since joining the Pac-12 winning 10 of 14 meetings including the last three. USC might be tough to get by as they just swept the Washington schools and are 5-0 ATS in their last five games on the road, but Colorado is 7-2 ATS in their last nine home games against teams with winning records. Take COLORADO!

Brooklyn at Philadelphia 8:00 ET

Nets (+) over 76ers- Philadelphia is the epitome of a front runner as they are 25-2 at home where they are bullies and just 9-19 SU on the road where they play like dogs. Brooklyn who will most like play the rest of the season with Kyrie Irving who has already missed 33 of 53 games and Brooklyn has a better winning percentage without the 'World is Flat' former Superstar. Despite the absence of Irving and playing the season without Kevin Durant the Nets sit in seventh place in the playoff seeding and have won seven of their last 10 and are 5-0 ATS in their last five although they are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs. Meanwhile the inconsistent 76ers are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games overall. Take BROOKLYN!

Miami at Atlanta 7:30 ET

Hawks (+) over Heat- This is the sixth of an extended road trip for the Heat who have dropped four of the first five away from Miami. Although 22-3 at home the Heat are just 13-16 on the road and do have a win at Atlanta and are 3-0 against the Hawks this season as well as a 135-121 overtime victory. Miami is just 3-7 ATS this season as road favorites while Atlanta is 4-1-1 ATS in their last six home games and 5-2 ATS as a home underdog. Take ATLANTA! 

Ohio State at Iowa 7:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Hawkeyes- Two of the Big Ten's Top-25 ranked teams meet at Iowa's Carver-Hawkeye Arena where No. 20 Iowa is 12-1 on the season including the last 11 in-a-row. No. 25 Ohio State has the nation's 14th ranked defense efficiency and hold opponents to 41.2% shooting on 2-point field goals. This will be the only regular season meeting and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings and now I ask. With the home court and higher poll ranking I question by the 'price' on Iowa is so cheap. The Buckeyes are 10-3 following a ATS win while the Hawkeyes are 0-3-2 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up win. Take OHIO STATE!

Villanova at DePaul 9:00 ET

Blue Demons (+) over Wildcats- DePaul who has been at the bottom of the Big East it seems like forever and have rarely left the basement are once again last in the standings winning just one of 12 conference games. Villanova who has defeated DePaul 19 straight times including a 79-75 in overtime in the first matchup this season and have won their last two games after losing three straight. The Blue Demons are 12-1 in non-conference play and have become much more respectable and can keep this one close. Take DEPAUL!

Georgia Tech at Wake Forest 7:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Demon Deacons- Georgia Tech has played the toughest part of the schedule as five of their final six games against teams with losing records. The Yellow Jackets have won four of their last six and are up against Wake Forest who has lost six of it's past eight games. The Deacons have won three of their last four home games but have lost eight of the last 11 against the Jackets including four of the last six at home. Georgia Tech meanwhile is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games and 15-8-1 ATS on the year. Take GEORGIA TECH! 

Auburn at Georgia 7:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Tigers- No. 11 Auburn hasn't been anything special since losing their first game of the season at Alabama when they were 16-0 and ranked No. 4 in the country. The Tigers have struggled from the perimeter and have lost projected NBA lottery pick Issac Okoro who suffered a hamstring injury and sat out Saturday's loss at Missouri as they have dropped three of five on the road. Georgia meanwhile has lost four straight and eight of nine but will have a healthy Anthony Edwards who many expect to be the top NBA pick in June. Take GEORGIA!

Baylor at Oklahoma 9:00 ET

Sooners (+) over Bears- How can I possibly do it again...play against the Bears that is! Baylor has won 22 straight and are taking no prisoners while doing it. Ranked No. 1 and dominating all of their opponents has Baylor 1-game ahead of Kansas in the Big-12 and are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Oklahoma who has three of the conferences top-10 leading scorers gave the Bears all that they could handle in the first meeting falling to the Bears 61-57. The Sooners are 4-1 ATS in their last five road games and have enough talent to keep this one close. Take OKLAHOMA! 

Dayton at VCU 8:00 ET

Rams (+) over Flyers- No. 5 Dayton are well deserving of their ranking as they lead the nation in field goal percentage (.523) and are second in assists (18.2). The last time these two met at game was tied at 41 when the Flyers held the Rams scoreless for over six minutes and out-scored them 22-0 and winning 79-65. Dayton who has not won at VCU in five years is just 1-4 ATS in their last five games as road favorites and the home team is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. The issue for the Rams is that they are just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 as a home underdog but get it done here. Take VCU! 

Purdue at Wisconsin 7:00 ET

Boilermakers (+) over Badgers- With the kind of tear Wisconsin is having won two games in-a-row and four straight at home is considered a winning streak and for Purdue it isn't any better. The Boilermakers have dropped their last two games and are just 3-7 on the road and 1-5-1 ATS while the Badgers are 11-2 SU as hosts and 5-2-1 ATS. Purdue has already posted a victory over the Badgers pounding them 70-51 in late January and has won six of the last seven meetings and coach Matt Painter believes that they can still get to the NCAA tournament as each of their remaining opponents are tourney bound. Take PURDUE! 

North Carolina at Notre Dame 7:00 ET

Tar Heels (+) over Fighting Irish- North Carolina is having one of the worst season's in school history have lost their last five to lower their record to 10-15 overall and 3-11 in ACC play. When you consider that the Tar Heels started the year 5-0 and have gone 5-15 since after opening conference play with a 75-65 win over Notre Dame. The Tar heels were without freshman sensation Cole Anthony who has sideline with an injury are aren ow 0-5 since his return. As bad as things have been for Carolina they are 4-0 ATS as an underdog and lead the ACC in rebounds per game. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

San Diego State at Boise State 4:00 ET

Broncos (+) over Aztecs- For a college basketball team to go undefeated, any college basketball team on any level to go undefeated is a huge accomplishment these days with all of the added games and early season tournaments adding games with unfamiliar opponents. As the season wears on an undefeated team will feel the pressure increase as the regular season draws to a close. No. 4 San Diego State (25-0) will feel the pressure today at ExtraMile Arena where Boise State is 12-1 on the year. The home team have won and 'covered' the last four meetings but the Aztecs are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 road games while the Broncos are 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall and 13-3 ATS in their last 16 home game including 12-1 Straight-up this season. With the added pressure on San Diego State and the home court advantage of playing in Boise, I give the point spread edge to the home team. Take BOISE STATE!

Seton Hall at Providence 8:00 ET

Friars (+) over Pirates- Are the Pirates worried after having lost their last two home games as the Big East lead has shrunk to two-games...nah. Their is plenty of game left and they have Myles Powell an All-American that is coming off of his worst performance of the season shooting 3-of-16 and just 1-of-11 from 3-point range. Providence has lost two straight both on the road and return home with revenge in their hearts looking for atone the loss at Seton Hall three weeks ago. Providence is more than capable having defeated Butler, Marquette and Creighton and come up big at home here. Take the FRIARS!

Maryland at Michigan State 6:00 ET

Spartans (-) over Terrapins- So, here we have it the No. 9 ranked Terrapins come to East Lansing facing a former No. 1 ranked team Michigan State that is now unranked. Maryland has won their last seven but are just 5-9 against State lost five the last six meetings. After their three-game losing streak that dropped them out of the rankings the Spartans have won their last two and are an exceptionally big number here. LAY IT! Take MICHIGAN STATE!

West Virginia at Baylor 4:00 ET

Mountaineers (+) over Bears- Without question Baylor is the best college basketball team that I have seen play this season. They are deserving of their NO. 1 ranked and their 15-5 ATS record will attest to their value. West Virginia seems to be a Bob Huggins clone team, they play great defense in big game but often come up short on the other end of the floor. The Mountaineers have lost two straight and must have been looking ahead in their last game at home against Kansas 58-49 as they failed to score in the final 5:07. Huggins will have them ready here and it will come down to the final buzzer which means take the dig. Take WEST VIRGINIA!

Colorado at Oregon 9:00 RT

Buffaloes (+) over Ducks- The lowly Pac-10 has just a pair of teams in the Top-25 and these to are it. Oregon has fallen to No. 17 and are now behind Colorado who comes up No. 16 and has won three in-a-row and five of their last six to move ahead of the Ducks. Oregon returns home after three straight on the road but have won just six of 15 meetings between the two since the Buffaloes joined the conference but have lost just once to Colorado at home winning the last five as hosts. Oregon coach Dana Altman doesn't think his team is moving backwards he states 'People are getting better but we are not.' What? The home team (13-3 ATS) and favorite (9-1 ATS) have dominated this series but are 1-4 ATS in their last five games as favorites. Take COLORADO!

Washington at USC 9:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Trojans- The Pac-10 continues to be the weakest major conference in the nation as Washington and USC enter this contest with nine straight losses between them. The Huskies who were early season favorites in the conference have dropped six straight while that means USC has lost their last three with the 'dogs' at 2-9 in Pac-10 action. The good news for Washington is that one of their two conference wins came over the Trojans in early January a 72-40 beating. The trends on the Huskies side are hard to take as they are 0-6 ATS in their last six overall and 0-7 ATS as an underdog. USC despite their three straight losses is 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. But are only 3-7 ATS as home favorites. Take WASHINGTON!

Oklahoma City at New Orleans 8:05 ET

Thunder (+) over Pelicans- The storyline now for New Orleans is they play of No. 1 overall draft pick Zion Williamson who has played nine game and has been everything that was expected. The Pelicans are 5-4 since his debut as he comes off of his 31-point performance, nine rebounds and five assists Tuesday against Portland. Oklahoma City is 3-0 in the season series and have lost their last two after having won 9-of-10. The Thunder are 21-5 ATS on the road and 37-16 ATS in their last 53 games as an underdog. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Wichita State and Central Florida 7:00 ET

Panthers (+) over Shockers-Wichita State who started the season 15-1 is reeling having lost their last three and five of seven including a 76-43 plumping at Houston on Sunday. The Shockers have won all four of their AAC meetings SU but are 2-2 ATS and are 0-6-1 ATS in their last seven games against teams with winning records and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games as favorites. Central Florida although 1-5 ATS in their last six home games are 1908 ATS against teams with winning SU records. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

L.A. Lakers at Denver 10:00 ET

Nuggets (+) over Lakers- Both of these clubs are playing winning basketball as the Lakers have won 4-of-5 while Denver has won their last four. The Nuggets overcame a 23-point deficit defeating San Antonio on Monday while L.A. was cruising in a 125-100 win over Phoenix. Stats are great but they can be misleading as the Lakers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as favorites and just 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Denver and 8-18 ATS in the last 26 meetings overall. The Nuggets are 4-0 ATS at home in their last four and get the money tonight. Take DENVER!

Louisville at Georgia Tech 8:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Cardinals- No. 5 Louisville has won 10 straight entering Atlanta and is seeking a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Cardinals won the first meeting at home 68-64 as they overcame an 11-point second half deficit and are now 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Georgia Tech has great bounce-back capabilities as they are 17-4 after an AYS loss and 23-9 ATS after a straight-up loss and they were defeated by Pittsburgh 73-64 last time out. Take the YELLOW JACKETS!

Toronto at Brooklyn 7:35 ET

Nets (+) over Raptors- Everybody is aware of the streaking Bucks but how many realize the defending champ Raptors have won 15 straight. Toronto defeated the Nets 119-118 Saturday at home and must now take to the road and are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games in Brooklyn. The Raptors are just 7-15 ATS after scoring 125 points or more in their previous game while the Nets are 4-0 ATS in their last four home games but, are 1-18 SU in the last 19 meetings overall. Truly an upset...take the NETS!

Milwaukee at Indiana 7:35 ET

Pacers (+) over Bucks- Talk about streaks, Milwaukee has won five straight and 14 of 15 heading to Indiana to play the Pacers who have lost six straight. The Bucks who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo in Monday's win over Sacramento are now 5-0 both SU and ATS when the 'Freak' sits out. The Pacers are 1-6 ATS in their last seven games at home and have lost four straight to the Bucks including a pair of blowout losses this season. After all that data the line-maker has installed the Bucks as a meager favorite and I expect Indiana who is 1-5 since the return of Victor Oladipo to rise tonight. Take INDIANA!

Alabama at Auburn 7:00 ET

Crimson Tide (+) over Auburn- Bruce Pearl has done an incredible job with these Auburn Tigers as they have now won six straight and are tied at the top of the SEC with Kentucky and LSU. The Tigers came from 14 points down to defeat LSU 91-90 Saturday and now host rival Alabama who handed Auburn its first defeat of the season 83-64 in January. Although Auburn is just 13-10 SU they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games and 11-1 ATS after an ATS win and pull off the upset once again. Take ALABAMA!

Rutgers at Ohio State 7:00 ET

Buckeyes (-) over Scarlet Knights- The biggest positive surprise in the Big Ten this season has to be the play of Rutgers who is having their first winning season in 14 years. The issue for the Scarlet Knights who are 16-0 at home has ben their play on the road where they are just 1-7 straight-up. Ohio State who looked so good early in the season only to hit a wall having lost five of six but rebounded with three straight wins before falling at Wisconsin. 'We' will need a strong turn-about here is that Rutgers is 11-3-1 ATS in their last 15 overall while the Buckeyes are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 overall. Today it happens...take OHIO STATE!

Michigan State at Illinois 9:00 ET

Illini (+) over Spartans- Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Michigan State who when the season started was ranked No. 1 and now with three straight losses the Spartans are fourth in the Big Ten and out of the Top-25. Illinois meanwhile has dropped their last two game after posting a seven game conference winning streak. MSU won the first meeting 76-56 as hosts in early January but they are not the same team today as they are 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. Illinois is 4-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings. Take ILLINOIS!

Portland at New Orleans 8:00 ET

Trailblazers (+) over Pelicans- New Orleans and Portland are coming alive before the All-Star break as they vie for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Trailblazers after a horrid start to the season are 2.5 games behind eighth place Memphis and the Pelicans follow them 2.5 games back. The Pelicans are off of a win at Indiana and did it without their two power forwards as both Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson sat out. Portland lost in an earlier visit to New Orleans 115-104 in November has won six of their last eight games straight-up and 7-1 ATS get the money here. Although the Pelicans are 5-2 ATS as home favorites they are just 8-17 ATS when playing a team with a losing record. Take PORTLAND!

North Carolina at Wake Forest 8:00 ET

Demon Deacons (+) over Tar Heels- A pair of 10-13 teams, that's right the Tar Heels are 10-13 and experiencing their worst season in decades. After blowing a 13-point lead with just over four minutes remaining and losing to bitter rival Duke in overtime last time out, I believe Carolina will have difficulty being mentally prepared for any opponent. Wake Forest who is 7-4 SU at home have lost six straight to the Heels who admit their locker room was 'crushed' after their heartbreaking loss to North Carolina. The Deacons were pounded by the Heels at home last season 95-57 the most lopsided road win in ACC history. Some small revenge here for this year's also rans. Take WAKE FOREST!

Chicago at Washington 7:05 ET

Bulls (+) over Wizards- The All-Star break is just a few days away and it can't come soon enough for the Bulls who has lost their last five and are 1-5 ATS in their last six games overall. One positive note for Chicago is that they are 2-0 against Washington this season and have won five of than past six meetings and are 5-1 ATS in their last six on the road against teams with losing records and are 6-0 ATS in their last six trips to Washington. Add that the Wizards are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games when favored. Take CHICAGO!

L.A. Clippers at Philadelphia 7:00 ET

76ers (+) over Clippers- The 76ers have to be one of the most intriguing teams in the NBA with their ability to just crush opponents when playing at home and one of the most disappointing when playing on the road (9-19). The Clippers who are favored in the West have split their past six games alternating wins and losses but have won 10 of their last 13 overall. It has been over a year since these two met and both teams have a key changes since then. LA claims that Kawhi Leonard has an ailing knee and just picked up Marcus Morris to pick up the slack...it won't be enough. Take PHILADELPHIA!

Penn State at Purdue 6:30 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Nittany Lions- Penn State gas reeled off six wins in-a-row and have climbed to No. 13 after moving up spots with wins over Michigan State and Minnesota. The Lions are starting to get some attention as they played before their first home sell-out crowd in nine years and now take to the road at Purdue in Mackey Arena where the Boilermakers are 10-2 SU on the season. State is 9-2-1 ATS as road underdogs but the Boilermakers are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 27 home games. This line reflects the oddsmakers belief that the home team here has a major advantage. Take PURDUE!

Miami at Golden State 10:30 ET

Warriors (+) over Heat- The storyline here is the 'new' make-up of players added and dismissed from these two clubs since the trade deadline. Golden State has added former No. 1 overall pick Andrew Wiggins who spent five plus years in Minnesota and broke in with 24 points against the Lakers in a 125-120 loss on Saturday. Miami added Andre Iguodala and Jae Crowder who have yet to mesh in with the Heat as they have lost their last three and six of their last eight. Although Miami is 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games following a straight-up loss but just 2-7 ATS in their last nine as road favorites. Take the WARRIORS!

Florida State at Duke 7:00 ET

Blue Devils (-) over Seminoles- These two ACC clubs are both ranked in the Top-10 with identical (20-3) records as Florida State is No. 8 and Duke at No. 7. The Blue Devils survived a scare at North Carolina where they trailed by 13 with 4:30 to go and managed to overcome the Tar Heels at the buzzer in overtime 98-96 while the Seminoles were cruising by Miami 99-81. High scoring Duke (2nd in the nation) is averaging 83.1 points per game while Florida State who is 2-5 ATS in their last seven games overall and 1-5 ATS after straight-up win. The Devils are also 2-5 ATS in their last seven but the home team is 6-2 ATS in the last eight meetings and and the 'line' says to me...lay it. Take DUKE!

Utah at Houston 7:00 ET

Jazz (+) over Rockets- Small ball, yeah how's that working out for ya...not so much. Look the problem with the Houston Rockets is that any team that doesn't play defense won't have the heart it takes to win in pressure situations. These two have about the same record with Houston having played and lost one more game. The Rockets had their 4-game win streak ended in Phoenix as the Suns routed Houston 127-91 (Megabucks winner) while Utah ended a six-game losing streak with a win at Portland. Despite their bad run the Jazz are 12-3-1 ATS following a straight-up win. Take UTAH!

New York at Atlanta 6:00 ET

Knicks (+) ver Hawks- Atlanta put up a good fight but with injuries and players at the trade deadline not available they gave the Celtics all that they could handle in Boston Friday night 112-107. New York has had a new look as well and that is in winning as they seek their first five-game winning streak in five years. The Knicks have already posted a 143-120 win over the Hawks as well as a 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings in Atlanta. The Hawks are just 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games when favored and 6-16 ATS following an ATS win. Take NEW YORK!

Memphis at Washington 6:00 ET 

Wizards (+) over Grizzlies- Despite their loss at Philadelphia and dropping to .500 on the season Memphis is still clinging to the final payoffs spot in the Western Conference. Washington is coming off of a thrilling 119-118 win over Dallas with Bradley Beal scoring 29 points and newcomer Shabazz Napier adding 14 in his debut. The Wizards will also have Jerome Robinson available Sunday. The Grizzlies posted a 128-11 home win over the Wizards back in mid December and now it's turn-about. The Wiz are 5-1 ATS as a home dog in their last six and Memphis is 1-4 ATS in D.C. Take WASHINGTON!

Ohio State at Wisconsin 1:00 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Badgers- Wisconsin has lost three of their last four with their lone win over Michigan State who everyone seems to be beating these days and now Ohio State who had six losses in seven games has won their last three. The Buckeyes are actually 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games overall but when hot they stay hot and are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 following a straight-up win. This is a different kind of season for the Badgers as their coaching change hasn't met previous standards as they are 5-11-2 ATS in their last 18 following a loss. Take OHIO STATE!

Cincinnati at Connecticut 12:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Bearcats- Cincinnati has won five in-a-row and are off of a 80-79 win over Wichita State while the Huskies have won three of their last four. The inconsistent Bearcats have posted these numbers; 4-10 ATS in their last 14 road games, 6-17 ATS after a straight-up win and 3-9 ATS against a team with a winning record. Connecticut is 15-7-2 ATS in their last 24 home games and the home team is 5-1 ATS in their series. Take the HUSKIES!

Butler at Marquette 1:00 ET

Bulldogs (+) over Golden Eagles- No. 19 Butler will try and subdue the Golden Eagles Markus Howard who could end up a lottery pick as they have won and covered six of their last seven. The Bulldogs off of a win over Villanova play with confidence after a win and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11. Marquette have been flying high and are playing great ball but are up against a better foe here. The Golden Eagles have 'covered' the last three meetings while Butler had covered the previous six. Take BUTLER!

San Antonio at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Spurs- Each season the Spurs get displaced as the rodeo comes to San Antonio and this season they will be on the road over two weeks having to play eight straight away games. This year their trip has gotten off to an auspicious start as they have dropped the first three including a 127-117 loss at Portland Thursday night. Prior to this trip the Spurs have been a winner on the road going 10-4-1 ATS in their last 15 and 8-3-1 ATS as road favorites in their last 12 games. But, there are other factors to consider as they are 0-5 ATS in their last five meetings against the Kings. Sacramento is 5-2 ATS in their last seven and 5-1 ATS in the second of back-to backs. Take the KINGS!

Denver at Phoenix 9:00 ET

Suns (+) over Nuggets- Denver is feeling pretty good about themselves as they have won 12 of 17 but they are especially proud of their last win at Utah when they had just seven players available. The Nuggets should be very confident having defeated the Suns four straight and 14 of the past 16 meetings. Phoenix who is out of the playoff picture in the West once again broke a four-game losing streak against Houston last night scoring their biggest margin of victory this season winning 127-91. Denver is not only 5-11 ATS after a straight-up win they are just 2-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns love playing on Saturday's when they are 6-1-1 ATS. Take PHOENIX!

Dallas at Charlotte 7:05 ET

Hornets (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has had the best of it against the 'number' this season despite injuries that they have been able to overcome. But, they are now 2-3 since losing All-Star guard Luka Doncic including last night's 119-119 loss at Washington. Charlotte who has been a major disappointment this season has lost four in-a-row and 12 of 13 since their overtime win at Dallas 123-120 back on January 4. Although the Mavericks are 12-3-1 iATS n their last 16 as road favorites they are playing without their key figure as there is no one to fill Doncic's shoes. Take the HORNETS!

Minnesota at Penn State 4:00 ET

Golden Gophers (+) over Nittany Lions- No. 20 Penn State is headed to their first NCAA Tournament appearances in nine years, have won five straight and are off of a huge road win over No. 14 Michigan State on Tuesday. Minnesota is off of their biggest win over Wisconsin by their largest margin in 26 years and are looking for a season's sweep over the Lions. State is 11-1 SU at home this season and 8-4 ATS while the Gophers are 1-7 SU away from home. Minnesota is 4-1 ATS in the last four meetings and get the cash here. Take GOLDEN GOPHERS!

Seton Hall at Villanova 2:30 ET

Pirates (+) over Wildcats- No. 10 Villanova is off of back-to-back Big East losses and for the most part the common thought is that they will recover at home against Seton Hall. The problem is that the No. 12 Pirates who bring the Conference's leading scorer Myles Powell have different ideas. The Wildcats have the confidence that they will maintain the status-quo as they haven't lost at home to Seton Hall since 1994. But, it is a new era and the Hall is 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games overall. Villanova just doesn't seem to have the 'it' favor this season and the Pirates have covered three of the last four meetings. Take SETON HALL!

Florida at Mississippi 2:00 ET

Rebels (+) over Gators- After losing four straight Florida has 'righted' the ship so to speak with a pair of wins at Vanderbilt and against Georgia but are still 0-4 ATS in their last four. Mississippi has has a rough go losing eighty of nine before taking out South Carolina 84-70 and have covered four straight. Although their record doesn't reflect it the Rebels are 15-6-1 ATS on Saturday's and 6-2 ATS at home against teams with winning records. Add that the underdog is 14-2 ATS in the last 16 meetings I say take the home dog. Take MISSISSIPPI!

Georgia Tech at Pittsburgh 2:00 ET

Yellow Jackets (+) over Panthers- This price looks a bit 'off' to me as 14-9 Pittsburgh who is 10-4 at home are such a meager favorite against sub-500 Georgia Tech. That is until I see that the Yellow Jackets are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 road games and the Panthers are 5-17-1 ATS at home and 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 Saturday games. Tech has won 3-of-4 since the return of their leading scorer and have won four of five in the series. Take GEORGIA TECH!

Kentucky at Tennessee 2:00 ET

Volunteers (+) over Wildcats- No. 15 Kentucky starts the second half of their SEC schedule trailing leader LSU by one games but that could all change this weekend as they leaders are matching up. Tennessee just snapped a three-game losing streak with a win over Alabama Tuesday and are looking forward to hosting the Wildcats as they haven't lost to the Cats at home since Feb., 2015. As a matter of fact the Volunteers are 38-14-1 ATS in their last 53 games as a home underdog. The inconsistent (point wise) boys in blue are just 1-4 ATS as favorites in their last five and just 2-6-1 ATS after a straight-up win. Take TENNESSEE!

Houston at Phoenix 9:00 ET

Suns (+) over Rockets- Both teams are streaking but, in opposite directions. Houston won their fourth straight last night taking down the Lakers while the Suns have lost their last four and five of six. This line as low as it is draws some concerns as the Suns have lost 11 straight to the Rockets and will be playing without five players including Frank Kaminsky. Houston may have won their last four are just 3-7 ATS on the road and 1-5 ATS as road favorites while the Suns are 0-7 ATS in their last seven home games. Although the Rockets are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 trips to Phoenix they are just 2-5 ATS in the last seven meetings. Taker PHOENIX!

Maryland at Illinois 8:00 ET

Terrapins (+) over Illini- As it should be these two will be battling for the top spot in the Big Ten as No. 9 Maryland invades Champaign on a five-game winning streak against No. 20 Illinois. These two met in their conference opener at Maryland where the Terps prevailed as a 10-point favorite winning 59-58 which moved the underdog to 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings. But, here we have the Illini who are 12-1 SU at home in a virtual pick-em situation hosting and not given any room to win and not cover. Much too shallow a price. Take MARYLAND!

Dallas at Washington 7:00 ET

Wizards (+) over Mavericks- Dallas is beginning to come back to earth as injuries are starting to take their toll. Luka Doncic has missed the last three games with the Mavericks winning the first two over Atlanta and Indiana and dropping their last encounter against Memphis. Kristaps Porzingis has returned to action and posted 39 points in their loss but now is questionable after suffering a broken nose. Dallas is 17-7 SU on the road and 16-5-2 ATS and are 13-3-1 ATS as road favorites. Washington who is 11-12 at home are 6-2 ATS in their last eight as hosts and 4-1 ATS as a home underdog. Mavs hurting and Wizards playing better at home. Take WASHINGTON!

Houston at L.A. Lakers 10:30 ET

Rockets (+) over Lakers- Okay, James Harden's shooting slump is a thing of the past as he has lit up the scoreboard for 35 points or more in Houston's last three games. Houston is 2-7 ATS in their last nine games on the road but are 12-5 ATS when posted as road underdogs and are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 meetings in Los Angeles. The Lakers have won the past two meetings but are just 2-7 ATS when playing a team with a winning percentage over 60%. Take the ROCKETS!

San Antonio at Portland 10:00 ET

Spurs (+) over Trailblazers- Both of these clubs have been perennial playoff teams that are on the outside looking in as Portland (23-28) sits in the ninth spot and San Antonio (22-28) in the tenth spot trailing Memphis who is 26-25. The Spurs are on their annual Rodeo Road Trip as they are displaced for a stretch of eight games and have already dropped their first two in LA to both the Lakers and Clippers. The Blazers have been inconsistent for the most part and are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 home games including 1-4-1 ATS as a home favorite. San Antonio's play has improved after a horrid start and are 11-3-1 ATS after a straight-up loss and 6-2 in their last eight as underdogs. Take the SPURS!

New Orleans at Chicago 8:00 ET

Bulls (+) over Pelicans- Well, Zion Williamson has made his debut and has been quite impressive shooting better than 50% in his first six game but in his last time out against Milwaukee he was held to 5-of-19 from the floor. New Orleans enters the Windy City with losses to the Bucks and Rockets while Chicago has dropped their last three all on the road and are 2-5 ATS in their last six overall. Like I had pointed out previously the Pelicans were playing better basketball before Zion's debut and are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall and 7-2-1 ATS on the road in their last 10 but, those ATS wins all came as underdogs. Williamson is listed as questionable with a sprained toe and that drops the Pelicans a notch. The Bulls have been atrocious as a home dog going 6-20 ATS in their last 26 in that role but are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games against teams with a winning percentage below 40%. Take CHICAGO!

California at Colorado 8:00 ET

Buffaloes (-) over Golden Bears- No. 24 Colorado rebound from their lost at UCLA last Thursday by pounding USC 78-57 on Saturday. California won a squeaker over Oregon State last time out and are within 1-game of the break even mark (10-11) but, they are 0-6 both SU and ATS in the six true road games. The Buffaloes are 38-18-2ATS in their last 58 home games and 5-1 ATS as home favorites. Take COLORADO!

Cincinnati at Wichita State 7:00 ET

Bearcats (+) over Shockers- The Bearcats have won their last four and six of seven went 5-2 ATS during that span while Wichita State has dropped 3-of-5 and are 1-4-1 ATS in the last six games overall. The issue for Cincinnati is their play on the road and are 3-10 ATS in their last 13 and 3-13 ATS as a road underdog, but the road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Take the BEARCATS!

Connecticut at Tulsa 7:00 ET

Huskies (+) over Golden Hurricane- Tulsa is 15-6 SU on the season and have won their last six going 6-0 ATS and now they come up a meager favorite against a Connecticut team that is 0-6 SU on the road. The Golden Hurricane have won five straight at home against the Huskies and have lost only once at home. But, currently they are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games as home favorites. Three of the past five gams went overtime and the points should be good here. Take CONNECTICUT!

Seton Hall at Georgetown 8:30 ET

Hoyas (+) over Pirates- Georgetown shown plenty of heart by rallying from 17-points down against St. John's to pull out a 73-72 victory ending a 3-game slide and now face No. 13 Seton Hall who had their 10-game winning streak ended by Xavier last time out. In that contest the Musketeers went out to a 30-6 lead and were out-rebounded 51-22 and that simply show that Xavier wanted it more. The Hoyas are 6-2 ATS in their last eight home games and the home team is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings. Take GEORGETOWN!

Memphis at Dallas 8:30 ET

Grizzlies (+) over Mavericks- Dallas has won their last two without start Luka Doncic with Kristaps Porzingis getting back into the flow scoring 38 points and grabbing 12 rebounds against Indiana on Monday. For Memphis there has been a bonding of sorts as players have stepped-up and commented on the Andre Oguodala situation where he refuses to play for the Grizzlies. The Mavericks are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings but just 4-9-1 ATS in their last 14 home games and just 3-8-2 ATS in their last 13 following a win. Memphis meanwhile is 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following an ATS win. Take the GRIZZLIES!

Indiana at Toronto 7:30 ET

Pacers (+) over Raptors- The year long wait for the return of All-Star Victor Oladipo has been a major disappointment as they are 1-2 defeating just the Bulls in overtime before dropping their last two with Oladipo shooting a miserable 8-of-39 from the floor including 3-of-21 from beyond the arc. Toronto who has had their injured return are on an 11-game win streak and are off of a 129-102 rout of Chicago. History has not been kind to the Pacers in Toronto as they are just 12-27 ATS as visitors in this series including 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings. But as of late Indiana is 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games while the Raptors are 9-3-1 ATS in their last 13 home games against winning teams. Still, I expect Oladipo to return to form tonight...take INDIANA!

Golden State at Brooklyn 7:30 ET

Nets (+) over Warriors- I've said for years, 'break-up the Warriors' and see now what happens...they are playing like champions. Golden State has won their last two on the road and have had their way against the Nets winning the last eight meetings and the last four in Brooklyn. But, the overall number are not that impressive as the Warriors are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 meetings in Brooklyn. Now, the Nets are 6-14 ATS in their last 20 games overall but they are 4-0 ATS in their last four games as home favorites and are 5-2 ATS against teams with losing records. The BROOKLYN!

Georgia at Florida 7:00 ET

Gators (-) over Bulldogs- Florida broke a 3-game losing streak by coming from behind to defeat Vanderbilt on Saturday while Georgia's win over Texas A&M was their first in five tries. The Bulldogs who are 2-6 in SEC play have the nation's leading freshman scorer in Anthony Edwards who averages 19.3 points per contest but will be facing a tough Gator defense. Georgia is just 3-8 ATS in their last 1 games following an ATS win. Take FLORIDA!

Iowa at Purdue 7:00 ET

Boilermakers (-) over Hawkeyes- Purdue has been one of the more inconsistent teams in college basketball this season and here they come being favored over No. 17 Iowa. The Hawkeyes lead the Big Ten in scoring averaging 78.9 points per contest and is led by junior center Luka Garza who is scoring 23 points per game. The Boilermakers trailed lowly Northwestern by 10 in the second half and rallied by scoring the final 11 points of the game to steal the victory. They are 9-2 SU at home and the odds-makers believe that they win here and so do I. (Why are they favored?) Take PURDUE!

Colorado State at Fresno State 9:00 ET

Bulldogs over Rams- This one seem a bit off as the 8-14 Bulldogs are favored over Colorado State who not only is 16-8 SU but are 6-1 ATS on the road and 5-2 ATS in their last seven games overall. When viewing this Fresno team it is difficult to justify a team that is 1-4-1 ATS in their last six home games and 0-5 ATS against teams with winning records. So, why or how do they become the favorite here, I'll tell you. The home team is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 meetings and the 'best-goes-on'. Take the BULLDOGS!

Milwaukee at New Orleans 7:35 ET

Pelicans (+) over Bucks- The Pelicans started to make a positive move in early January and have only improved their with the debut of Zion Williamson added to the line-up. Milwaukee of course brings the most dynamic player in the NBA today with Giannis Antetokounmpo who had 30 points, 19 rebounds and nine assists Saturday as he led the Bucks to their 10 win in their last 11 games. The quickly improving Pelicans are 16-5-1 ATS in their last 22 games and are 6-3 ATS in their last eight games as home dogs and 8-2 ATS in their last eight home games overall. Look for the Pels who had won three straight before Houston did them in last time out to rebound here both on boards and scoreboard. Take NEW ORLEANS!

Rutgers at Maryland 7:00 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Terrapins- No. 9 Maryland has posted four straight wins and have moved to within one-game of Big Ten leaders Michigan State and Illinois. Rutgers is off of a disappointing loss at Madison Square Garden Saturday against struggling Michigan and view this one as a crucial point in their season. The Terrapins won their last two road games and are 12-0 at home including 4-0 ATS in their last four as hosts but they have Illinois next and that might be a little distracting. The Scarlet Knights are 13-3-2 ATS in their last 17 games overall and are 15-5-2 ATS against teams with winning records. Take RUTGERS!

Auburn at Arkansas 7:00 ET

Razorbacks (+) over Tigers- Auburn has been good to 'us' this season both with and against and now they are coming off of a huge win at home over Kentucky and have won four in-a-row since dropping a pair to Alabama and Florida. The Razorbacks broke a 3-game SEC losing streak with a 82-78 road win over Alabama and are now 4-4 in conference. The No. 18 Tigers are 8-0 in SEC action but are aware that LSU visits next and are already thinking about a letdown. Arkansas has 16 wins and that is no fluke as they lead the nation in 3-point field goal percentage defense (24.7) and top the SEC in steals pr games. Look for the RAZORBACKS to gore the Tigers. Take ARKANSAS!

Texas at Kansas 9:00 ET

Jayhawks (-) over Longhorns- Baylor might be the No. 1 team in the country but the Jayhawks are just 1-game behind in the Big-12 race for the top spot in the conference. Ranked No. 3 Kansas has won six straight with their last loss at home against NO. 1 Baylor three weeks ago. Although the road team is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings the Favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings. Texas who under Shaka Smart has been very disappointing for Longhorn backers going 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games overall and are just 1-7 ATS against winning teams. The Jayhawks who are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 overall as well as as favorites. Take KANSAS

Baylor at Kansas State 9:00 ET

Wildcats (+) over Bears- The nation's No. 1 team certainly deserve their lofty ranking as they have reeled of 18 straight wins and are a splendid 14-6 ATS on the season including 5-0 ATS in true road games. Kansas State is having a down season at 9-12 but are 8-3 SU at home. The Bears have done it more with defense than anything else as they are fifth in the nation on scoring defense holding opponents to 58 points per game. The odd thing about this series is that the road team is 7-1-1 ATS in the last nine meetings with the underdog 21-8-2 ATS in the last 31 meetings with K.State being favored most of the time. Take KANSAS STATE!

Philadelphia at Miami 7:35 ET

76ers (+) over Heat- The NBA's two clubs with the best home records will clash in Miami where the Heat are 21-3 SU while the 76ers are 22-2 SU when hosting but take on a different hue when on the road. Philadelphia is just 9-17 SU on the road and are coming off of a beating at Boston 116-95 where Joel Embiid was just 1-for-11 shooting from the floor. Miami meanwhile was pounding the Magic at Orlando and return home where they are 15-6-1 ATS as favorites in their last 22 games while the Sixers are 2-5-1 ATS in their last eight games as underdogs and are 5-15-1 ATS in their last 21 road games. But, with this line so low and Philly is 3-1-1 ATS in their last five trips to Miami and I expect them to rebound here. Take PHILADELPHIA!

New York at Cleveland 7:00 ET

Cavaliers over Knicks- New York who has a better road record (7-18) than the Cavaliers have at home (6-20) return to the scene of their largest road win of the season a 107-86 over Cleveland two weeks ago. The Knicks are just 4-12 SU in their last 16 games and are most likely lottery bound like the Cavaliers who are on a 1-10 slide and yet came up favored here. Take CLEVELAND!

Golden State at Washington 7:05 ET

Warriors (+) over Wizards- 'Break-up' the Warriors,' we heard it for five years and now that they have won two straight and can put together their first 3-game winning streak of the season with a win tonight. With the exception of Curry and Thompson Golden State fielded a complete roster of healthy players for the first time this season. With the Warriors gaining confidence they are 4-1 ATS after a SU win while the Wizards are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games most of which they were receiving points. This time take GOLDEN STATE!

North Carolina at Florida State 7:00 ET

Seminoles (-) over Tar Heels- North Carolina who is having one of their worst season's in recent memory welcomed the return of freshman Cole Anthony on Saturday still fell short against Lowly Boston College 71-70 despite his 26 points. No. 6 Florida State had their 10-game winning streak stopped by Virginia a week ago but responded their last time out with a win at Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels are just 6-14 (30%) ATS this season and just don't measure up. The favorite is 3-0-1 ATS in their last four meetings and get it done again. Take FLORIDA STATE!

Georgetown at St. John's 1:00 ET

Hoyas (+) over Red Storm- A pair of Big East bottom feeders will battle to keep out of the baseball as St. John's hosts Georgetown in Madison Square Garden. This is the second meeting of the season between these two as the Hoyas crushed the Storm in the first first time out 87-66. Most would expect St. John's to rebound here and even the series but the 'number' tells me something else. Georgetown has lost three straight, 5-of-6 and 6-of-8 while the Red Storm have lost 7-of-9. The home team is 11-4-1 ATS in the last 16 meetings but this game is not on the St. John's campus. Take GEORGETOWN!

L.A. Lakers at Sacramento 10:00 ET

Kings (+) over Lakers- The world's loss of Kobe Bryant has affected people all over the globe and none more than the team he spent 20-years playing for the L.A. Lakers. The Lakers didn't handle their first game out after Brant's death very well as they fell to the Trailblazers last night. Tonight, they will be playing an NBA West doormat in Sacramento who is 0-4-1 ATS in their last five games as home underdogs. LA is 5-2 ATS in their last seven meetings in Sacramento but just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites and 0-4 ATS on the road against a team with a losing record. Take the KINGS!

Philadelphia at Boston 8:30 ET

76ers (+) over Celtics- Now this one has me taken back a bit as Boston has opened a meager favorite here at home and the 'price' has dwindled since. What causes my attention to peak here is the home and away records of both teams. Philadelphia as most know are a dominating 22-2 at home while posting a poor 9-16 record on the road. Boston is 19-5 SU at home and are 15-5 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with winning records. The 76ers are 0-5-1 ATS as road underdogs and are not only 5-11 ATS in the last 16 meetings and 1-5 ATS in their last six trips to Boston. This line makes no sense to me...take PHILADELPHIA!

Miami at Orlando 7:00 ET

Magic (+) over Heat- Orlando has lost four straight including a 113-92 beating handed to them by Miami on Monday. The Magic who lead the NBA in scoring defense allowing 104.7 points per game but have surrendered 111 points per contest in their last nine games and they are 3-6 in that span. The Heat who are 21-3 at home are just 11-12 on the road and just 1-6 ATS in their last seven games as road favorites. The Magic are 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings against Miami and are the take here. It's ORLANDO!

Rutgers vs Michigan 4:30 ET

Scarlet Knights (+) over Wolverines- It hasn't been the best of season's for the Wolverines as they have been booted out of the Top-10 and will at this point need a deep run in their conference tournament to have a chance to qualify. This must be basketball as No. 25 Rutgers is looking for their first NCAA berth in 28 years and their first win ever over Michigan after 10 unsuccessful attempts. The Knights are 19-7-3 ATS in their last 29 games overall so the program is on an upswing while the Wolverines are 0-7-1 ATS against teams with a straight-up winning record and 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Take RUTGERS!
