Alabama  enters this game vs Florida as a underdog with a bite, as is evident by a 3-1 record when playing an AP Top-25 team this season. The Tide,  have defeated then-No. 5 Texas A&M, then-No. 17 Auburn and then-No. 12 Oklahoma, and  is one of eight teams from around the nation who has at least three victories of AP Top-25 teams this season. I know the  Crimson Tide were upset last time out by Missouri, but I think this group got caught looking ahead to this tilt, as they lost for the first time at home in program history to the Tigers.  I'm betting Alabama will now be very focused this Saturday, and ready to extend on a 6-3 ATS SEC conversion rate this season.  Meanwhile, Florida is off a hard fought tilt against Georgia last time out, which has not been a good omen for the program in the past as they are 0-13 ATS L/13 after facing Bulldogs.  

From a matchup perspective Alabama defense is allowing opponents to shoot 41.3 percent from the field , while Florida is shooting just .437 on the season ranking just No.229 in the nation. My own projections make this a much closer game the linesmakers estimate, because of the offense vs defense power rankings system I used for this tilt.

Alabama is 9-3 ATS in this series as a dog of 6 points or more.

The last time these teams met, the Lakers took out the Nets by a  124-112 win  as former  Net  Lopez scored a season-high 34 points on 13 of 23 from the field and made six 3-pointers. From a matchup perspective I feel the Lakers once again have a viable opportunity to turn the trick again. It must be noted that Brooklyn  could easily also be in a letdown scenario here , after back to back  grueling division games, including an upset of the 76ers ast time out . BROOKLYN has crashed and burned consistently in the past after these type of affairs  as is  evident by their 1-12 ATS L/13 record in home games after 2 consecutive division games .

The Pacers are coming off a 3-0 homestand that included a 105-96 victory over the Hornets on Monday night but despite of that momentum, this is a bad spot for them according to my reference power rankings and system vs system matchup projections. The home team also has the  added edge factored in for Coach Nate McMillan  not being behind the bench tonight for the Pacers because of  personal reasons.  The Hornets also have motivation on their side as they look to get revenge for a earlier loss to the Pacers this season. Actually in that loss the Hornets looked like the better team, when they pushed Dwight Howard to the front of their offensive attack and focused on him getting the ball. They floundered in the second half however, when they got away from that game plan and lost . But now tonight with the Pacers weaknesses exposed look for Howard once again be a focal and point and eventual catalyst in what I am betting will be  a Hornets win and cover .

Meanwhile, Detroit is 6-17 SU overall and 2-8 SU in Horizon League play. The Titans are 4-7 SU at home this season. The Titans come in having dropped four straight, which began with the 81-66 loss on Jan. 16 to the Jaguars and are fade material in this spot as chalk as they enter this game possibly short handed, and feeling deflated ...

However, with this group playing all out on a nightly basis I'm betting they will  eventually   slow down a bit, which could be the case   against a upstart rival that would love to upset them in this spot.

The Thunder have possibly put it all together as they have been surging of late. I'm not completely sold on their sudden reversal in fortunes just  yet, despite of the prognosticators and media shoveling their love for them down our proverbial throats. Hey guys, I'm not dumping on the  Thunder, because the big three of Westbrook, Melo, and George are true big times talents, I'm just throwing caution to the wind as their a lot of basketball to played this season, before a definite stance can be taken and in my opinion the jury is still out.  In their last trip to the hardwood Oklahoma City had  a 8 game win streak abruptly ended against Washington despite of the Wizards playing without John Wall, and in the recent past have proven themselves unreliable and inconsistent despite of their talent levels. With that said, I'll take a contrarian stance, and back the young but talented Denver Nuggets to grab us some cash in the Mile High city tonight. It must be also noted that Oklahoma City has crashed and burned consistently after being cash cows for their backers for extended periods, as this trend indicates: OKLAHOMA CITY is 1-12 ATS   in road games after covering 5 or 6 of their last 7 against the spread . The Thunder have also not been able to take advantage of struggling defenses: OKLAHOMA CITY is 6-16 ATS  L/22 versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 46% or worse this season.

These are two strong hoops programs, with similar records and defensive records. I know the players and home town crowd will be sky high for this tilt, but if Old Dominion gets the win it won't come easily and I'm betting they fail to cover. Middle Tennessee State is a perfect 8-0 SU/ATS L/8 in this series. Middle Tennessee State has played in hostile environment and recently taken part in NCAA Tourney games and are not easily intimidated. Home court advantage is worth something here, but not enough for me to consider the home chalk as a stable choice, and instead I'm siding with what my own system to system rankings suggest is the better team. ( Middle Tennessee State) This game could easily be decided by one or two possessions  which makes getting points a quality opportunity.

No team in the nation has more wins on the road this season than Middle Tennessee, with a 8-1 record in true road games.

The Blue Raiders and Monarchs prepare to meet in a game that I have pegged for a defensive battle on Thursday.These are the two best statistical defenses in the conference this season, ODU giving up just 62.9 points per game and MT 64.9
 
In the last seven of their eight-meeting series all-time – in which Middle Tennessee leads 8-0 – neither team has topped 68 points, and the loser hasn't scored more than 61 and I'm betting on history repeating itself tonight.
MIDDLE TENN ST is 9-0 UNDER against conference opponents this season with a combined average of 127 points going on the board.

Youngstown States win/loss record is not very impressive, but in their defense they have played a road heavy schedule of late , with 9 of their L/13 as visitors. However, in the 4 games at home during that span they have won 3 of those games, with the only loss coming against a top tier Illinois Chicago program. The visitors today Northern Kentucky are a strong team, but this line is bloated according to my own data and projections. With Youngstown State averaging 88.4 ppg at home this season, I'm betting their well positioned to get us a cover vs a N.Kentucky side that despite of a 16-7 overall record on the season is just 5-5 ATS on the road this season .

UNC Greensboro enter this home game on tired legs after two straight wide open run and gun affairs , a 98-82 win at Samford , and a upset loss at Chatanooga by a 87-85 margin. For a team that usually plays strong D, their are some issues that need to be addressed, and I'm expecting a concerted and more methodical effort from Greensboro in this spot, which will make for closer gap in the margin of victory than the lines-makers are estimating. I know VMI may not inspire many bettors but they have covered 4 of their L/6 and have down in enough upward meomtnum to be considered viable dogs in this situation.

Greensboro HC Miller is 0-6 ATS L/6   after a game - attempting 20+ less free throws than opponent  and  is 1-9 ATS L/10 after playing a game where both teams score 80 points or more

 When these teams met earlier this season UNLV came out on top  , 82-76, in overtime at the  Event Center. The Rebels are obviously the superior team, and San Jose State has struggled mightily this season, but from a player vs player /system vs system analysis the Spartans actually matchup fairly well, especially on this line and vs a side that has a tendency to play down to their opponents. It must also be noted that San Jose State played a decent  Wyoming hoops program very tough loss last  time out ( 90-86),  covering a 11 point dogs and are showing progress. San José State shot 48.4 percent (30-62) on Wednesday night compared to Wyoming's 44.1 percent (30-68). It's the sixth time in nine Mountain West games that SJSU has finished with a higher shooting percentage than the opponent. With that said, I'll recommend we take San Jose State in this spot vs a side that is consistently over rated by the linesmakers as they covered only once in their 11 games . That one cover was in their last trip to the hardwood, in an emotional  88-78 win  vs top tier San Diego State, that will now also have the Rebels in a let down state,   and susceptible to a down game vs less competetion.

Philadelphia after a hot streak that saw them notch wins in 10 of 13 games,  have now lost back to back games including a  10-point loss at Oklahoma City on Sunday and a 12-point smack down at Milwaukee on Monday. I watched highlights from those game , and some shot clips, and the 76ers looked exhausted and are fade material here in their current form, even against a struggling side like Brooklyn, especially laying this much lumber on the road. Note: BROOKLYN is 13-4 ATS   versus good offensive teams - scoring 106+ points/game this season and 19-9 ATS  when playing against a team with a winning record this season. BROOKLYN is 16-7 ATS  L/23 as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points this season

I also betting on a motivated game from the Nets newest acquisition Okafor as he goes against his old teammates. His will to show his old team what he's truly worth  should spread and motivate the entire squad to a stronger than normal performance . Okafor a former No.3 pick with the Philadelphia 76ers was traded to the Brooklyn Nets last month, and has slowly been getting acclimated to his new teammates and is getting more minutes of late. This kid has talent, and despite of not working out in Philly is a steal in my opinion for the Nets.

The Cavs,  for a team that is held in such high regard by NBA prognosticators, is a team that has not been fluent of late as their  5-8 record in January would indicate . This team needs some motivational therapy, as they are now a half game ahead of the  Heat for third place in the East. To make matters worse the team will have to play without all star Kevin Love who broke his  hand  in his last trip to the hardwood. However, the silver lining is that the Bulls will now be playing small ball for longer stretches , and when they go big with Jae Crowder ( 6-6) and bring Channing Frye off the bench they wont be easily intimidated by guys like Hassan Whiteside, and maybe more motivated in Love's absence ,which I'm betting actually helps them in the long run.  I recently began to believe going small for Cleveland would get them over this ugly slump their in, and now their going to be forced to do it. In their only meeting this season the Cavs beat the Heat 108-97 and lead by as much as 34 points , and now even with out a key cog in their lineup matchup well vs the Heat.

Pittsburgh is having problems notching wins and are currently on a 9 game losing streak in conference action and desperate for a win. I know the Panthers record is ugly but my own cross reference analysis suggests their has been improvement with a program that is chalk loaded full of freshman, and on this DD line are viable dogs. Their ability to work hard and be competitive was showcased when Pitt dropped a hard-fought battle to Syracuse, 60-55, Saturday at the Petersen.Pitt has limited its past two opponents to 34.4 percent (43-of-125) shooting from the field, including 24.0 percent (12-of-50) from beyond the three-point arc and capable of giving a Miami Fl side of a hard fought 104-93 loss to instate rivals last time out  and now in a letdown state a battle for their money in this spot Note: PITTSBURGH is 6-0 ATS  after 6 or more consecutive losses dating back to last season.

Houston at home this season, has played down to lower tier opponents like Orlando and have used these type of games , as resting points and live in game scrimmages.

The Jackrabbits (18-6, 6-1 Summit League) are coming off a grueling 78-76 win over Fort Wayne in the 2018 Pork Classic Saturday and could now easily be in a letdown spot. From a matchup standpoint the  Rabbits took out visiting Mavericks  101-88  in Omaha earlier this month and now the lines-makers are adding a couple of digits in there for good measure because of home court advantage. I have a lot of respect for the home team, as they have won 16 straight here, one of the longest active streaks in College Hoops, but complacency could make it difficult to be motivated vs a side that thet stepped on in the earlier meeting, and with the added energy they exerted last time out, I'm betting their  susceptible to a non salient performance this evening.

The Washington Wizards  tried to run and gun with the red hot  Oklahoma City Thunder on the road last week and lost by a 121-111 count. Now in the rematch, I'm betting the Wizards slow things down a little bit, as they play without star guard John Wall in the lineup. This combination of expected strategy and key cog missing  will see their flow curtailed, which will also effect their   offensive output here , which in turn will effect the total combined score falling on the low side of the number.

The Indiana Pacers enter this game in a big letdown situation after taking on a top tier  Purdue program at home on the weekend  in a grueling game that saw the Hoosiers take the Boilermakers down to the wire before losing. After the energy they exerted, I doubt they will have much left in the tank, versus an explosive Ohio State side that is a perfect 9-0 SU at home this season and 8-1 ATS winning those games by an average of 16 ppg . It must also be noted that Ohio State has revenge on board for losing to Indiana in their final game of last season, which is a good omen for the Buckeyes covering as they are 7-1 ATS with revenge L/8 at home in this series.

INDIANA is 6-17 ATS  L/23  in road games after playing a home game and  is 1-8 ATS  L/9 in road games after 2 straight games where they made 50% of their shots or better .INDIANA is 14-29 ATS  L/43  in road games when playing their 2nd game in 3 days and just 0-13 SU and 2-11 ATS L/13 when playing on the road with one days rest  .

The Dallas Mavs enter this game desperate for a win after being losers of three in a row and six of the last seven, and are off a heart breaking 2 point loss to the Denver Nuggets last time out. The Heat are a fine team but with this being their 4th game in 7 nights will be on tired legs, and susceptible to down performance after playing 5 straight closely contested and grueling games. Dallas won the first meeting between these teams this season, but DALLAS is 32-17 ATS   revenging a same season loss vs opponent and are viable home dogs in this spot.

DALLAS is 13-4 ATS L/17  in home games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 turnovers/game or less - 2nd half of the season dating back to last season.DALLAS is 20-11 ATS L/31 when playing against a team with a winning record this season.DALLAS is 33-18 ATS L/51 when playing against a marginal winning team (Win Pct. 51% to 60%).

Minnesota is 12 games above .500 and 20-6 at home but the  Timberwolves have lost six of their last seven tilts on the road  and are weak favorites here as they look ahead to going against  the Toronto Raptors on their schedule for  tomorrow night . Meanwhile, Atlanta despite a lackluster record, in a rebuilding year, have been competitive for most of this season, despite of some recent lopsided setbacks. Minnesota is 8-11 against the East and Atlanta is 8-11 against the West and from a system to system and player to player standpoint  the Hawks matchup fairly decently vs the Wolves especially on their own home court.

The visiting Charlotte Hornets enter this game with a 4-9-3 ATS in their last 16 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record and 1-3-1 ATS in their L/5 strips to the hardwood. The Hornets are also just 3-9 away in  a 1 and 1 situation vs conference opposition. Meanwhile, their hosts the Pacers unlike some people, seem to like playing on Mondays as their 11-1 ATS mark  in their L/12 first games of the week would indicate . The Pacers from a betting perspective have also faired well against  NBA Southeast opposition cashing 8 of their L/10 meetings with the series host cashing 5 straight meetings and once again look like viable wagers.

Lehigh enters this game desperately looking for a win after a 4 game losing streak, during which they have not played badly and experienced some heart breaking close losses. After splitting a pair of meeting last season, Lehigh won the first meeting this year, 83-77  and matchup very well against Holly Cross and are viable underdogs.

Meanwhile, Holy Cross began Patriot League play 0-3, but is 4-3 over its last seven games and according to my power rankings are a pickem against this type of opponent according to my head to head system to system, analysis. Holy Cross is last in the league in scoring offense (63.3), but stands second in scoring defense (69.4). I'm betting the  teams lack of consistent scoring will be their undoing in this matchup.

LEHIGH is 11-1 ATS L/12  in road games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 o less turnovers/game and LEHIGH is 16-4 ATS L/20 in road games and 14-3 ATS L/17 as a road underdog or pick .LEHIGH is 7-0 ATS L/7  in road games after playing 2 consecutive road games .

Duke is coming off a huge game against Virginia last time out which they lost 65-63. Coach K stuck with his starting 5 for the entire 2nd half, which is going to effect his team tonight. The Blue Devils exerted a heck of a lot of energy in a grueling physical game, and will now be in a letdown scenario vs a Notre Dame team that despite of being in a slump, will be out looking for revenge for last seasons ACC Finals loss. QUOTE: We have to put (the Virginia game) behind us and get ready for Notre Dame," Krzyzewski said. "It was a very physical game. I'm not saying dirty or anything like that. It was hard-fought. We have to recover, not just emotionally, but physically, before Monday night." END QUOTE:  It must be noted that Duke is just 0-4 ATS L/4 as home favs of 13 points or more after taking on the Cavaliers.

The Fighting Irish  desperately are now trying to end a 5 game  losing streak  thanks in part of suffering through and  injury bug (ie  PG Matt Farrell, and Bonzie Colson),  and inexcusable shooting from the floor of late (less than 40%), 

With that said, both teams have their issues going into this game, but from a matchup standpoint this line is a little bloated which gives us value with the visiting dog. Notre Dame has won and covered both their games vs .900 or better opposition this season.

DUKE is 0-9 ATS  L/9  in home games versus excellent ball handling teams - committing 12 or less turnovers/game after 15+ games over the last few seasons. NOTRE DAME is 8-1 ATS  L/9 versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 84+ points/game.

E.Tenn State is a fine all around team, but their defense is particuallary tough, as is evident by allowing just 65 ppg on average. I know Citadel is a wide open run and gun team, but I'm betting E.Tennessee will slow them down , and conservatively and systematically wear them down as the game progresses( something they do very well). This type of game plan should lead to much lower scoring game than the lines-makers anticipate.

E TENN ST is 10-1 UNDER  L/11  in road games after scoring 75 points or more 2 straight games with a combined average of 140.2 ppg scored. E TENN ST is 6-0 UNDER  L/6 versus struggling  defensive teams - allowing 77+ points/game  and is 7-0 UNDER  L/7 versus struggling  teams - outscored by their opponents by 4+ points/game after 15+ games .THE CITADEL is 6-0 UNDER L/6 off a win against a conference rival with a combined average of 154 ppg scored.

Washington State has allowed 96,89,82, 82 points respectively in their L/4 PAC 12 road games for a 87.25 ppg defensive points against average.

The California Bears current 7 game losing streak might not suggest to passive college hoops fan that they are a very good team. But the truth is, this young rebuilding program lead by Justice Sueing (18.9 ppg) is actually starting to show signs of positive momentum according to my own data and power rankings, and are gaining confidence with each game out, as was the case when they almost upset UCLA last time out . Meanwhile, USC remains a contender in the PAC 12, and despite of their superiority may not be all that motivated vs a side they beat by 18 points earlier this season, especially after taking part in  a hard fought revenge win vs Stanford last time out. With that said, my own numbers suggest we have value taking the Bears here.

The Rockets have no problem scoring points in bunches behind an explosive offense that averages 116.8 ppg at home this season, but its their defensive performances that are most troubling, as is evident by allowing 108.8 ppg as hosts. Needless to say, the Rockets are a one way offensive juggernaut and nothing will change today vs the visiting Phoenix Suns. The Suns are allowing more than 112 ppg this season, while the offense, has averaged 106.8 ppg on the road  ranking last in the NBA overall and also own the 4th fastest pace . This according to my own projections results in a high scoring affair that eclipses this fairly high but beatable Total.

My own estimates suggest that the Rockets will meet their season average offensive output of around 117 points today, which is a good omen for a over wager cashing as the  Rockets 46-13 OVER   when they score 117 or more points in a game with the combined average score clicking in at 236 ppg scored.

Powerful Purdue enters this game against their Big 10 rivals Indiana, pounding opponents mercilessly. Purdue may look unbeatable, but their are chinks in their armour, especially when it comes to getting to the charity stripe. Meanwhile, Indiana despite of a 1 point loss to Illinois last time out,  I'm betting Archie Miller and company will be very prepared to pull of the upset here at home in Assembly Hall vs a side that destroyed them in two meetings last season. Note: Purdue is just 2-6 ATS L/8 on the road as chalk vs a side with Double revenge. Indiana is 15-6 ATS L/21 at home with revenge as long as they have a .500 record or better and 7-1 ATS in their L/8 overall.

With this their first game home after an extended road trip, I'm betting they will be ready to take off here in their own digs. Note: Over is 19-7-1 in Suns last 27 home games following a road trip of 7 or more days.Meanwhile, the Knicks  are allowing 110.3 ppg on the road this season, and are consistently taking part in back and forth wide open tilts as is evident by going over the Total in 9 straight and 11 of their L/12 games overall with the average combined score clicking in at 223.5 ppg . The Knicks are also on tired legs as they played last night, and won't have the energy to play physically in what should be a loosely played game. Over is 18-5 in Knicks last 23 games playing on  no  rest.

NEW YORK is 10-1 OVER  L/11 after having lost 6 or 7 of their last 8 games this season with a combined average score of 224 ppg scored. NEW YORK is 7-0 OVER   versus teams who attempt 18 or more 3 point shots/game - 2nd half of the season this season with a combined average score of 228.8 ppg scored.

PHOENIX is 23-11 OVER  L/34  versus good passing teams, averaging 23 or less assists/game with a combined average of 225.5 ppg scored.

Play OVER

Northern Kentucky can score in bunches, but what makes them such a strong team is their ability to play shutdown defense , especially at home where they have allowed an average of  just 58 ppg. I'm betting Oakland despite of owning a solid attack, will find their flow curtailed here, which will effect their output which in turn will influence the Total combined score of this tilt to a lower combined score than the lines-makers are estimating.

N KENTUCKY is 17-8 UNDER  L/25 versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game with a combined average score of 141.3 ppg scored.OAKLAND is 10-2 UNDER   in road games versus excellent ball handling teams - committing 12 or less  turnovers/game with a combined average score of 146.7 ppg scored.

CBB Home teams against the total (N KENTUCKY) - a very good team (+8 PPG diff. or more ) against an average team (+/- 3.5 PPG diff.) after 15 or more games, after scoring 40 points or more in the first half in 2 straight games are 82-45 UNDER L/21 seasons for a 65\% conversion rate for totals bettors on the blind.

The LA Lakers enter this road tilt vs the Bulls  playing decently of late, winning 7 of their L/9 and have been especially good  at home, where they have won 6 straight games. However, you have to remember that this young Lakers team previous to their current top tier play, lost 9 straight , and have lost 15 of 21 road games and I currently feel still don't deserve a great deal of respect at this juncture of their campaign. Meanwhile, Chicago, in what has been tabbed as a rebuilding year, have surprisingly been tough to play against as is evident by covering 6 of their L/7 overall and 20 of their L/26 , and  13 of their 21 home tilts. After a bad outing against the 76ers last time out, I'm betting the Bulls will be primed to bounce back with a big effort here. Add to that the Bulls are also in revenge mode for a 103-94 loss at Staples back on Nov 21 and we have a fired up group to back in this spot play.

Lakers are 5-14 ATS in their last 19 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. Lakers are 2-6 L/8 in Chicago.

Bulls are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Bulls are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a losing road record.Bulls are 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games.

Underdogs vs the money line (LA LAKERS) - in a game involving 2 up-tempo teams (82 or more shots/game), after a game - attempting 20+ more free throws than opponent are 10-52 SU L/5 seasons for a go against 84% conversion rate for bettors losing by an average of more than 8 ppg.

Both these teams are having sub par  below .500 seasons from a records perspective, but one side  ( Harvard) in my humble opinion shows upward momentum, behind a tough physical defense A IS evident by not allowing more than 65 points in any of their L/7 games, including holding three of those opponents to under 58 points or less. Meanwhile, Yale plays a more wide open style of play, and I' betting they will have their flow interrupted tonight, by Harvard's big men, which will  take . them put of their comfort zone and translate into a non cover and down performance.

Crimson are 10-2-1 ATS in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.Crimson are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 road games.Crimson are 9-4-2 ATS in their last 15 games vs. a team with a losing straight up record.Crimson are 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Yale.

Detroit's record is horrendous, and its been a frustrating season for a decent group of young talent. Mercy however, has won 2 of their L/5 overall, and have seen 2 of the three losses decided by 6,2,7 points. Two of those losses came against a strong Oakland squad, and another against explosive N.Kentucky. So despite of their overall record this side is a viable option on this DD underdog line. When these teams played on Jan 5 Wright State beat the Jesuits  by 7 points, and now the lines-makers have added the obligatory home court advantage of 5 points on to that deficit. With that said, according to my own numbers this line is slightly bloated and thus we have value taking the underdog.

Note: Injury update- Raiders Justin Mitchell is out indefinitely ( Personal )

Raiders are 9-20-1 ATS in their last 30 games following a straight up loss.Raiders are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.Raiders are 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400.

All factors are researched - relevant trends, line moves, coaching, current stats , historical archives, and injury updates are all considered in my final selections. In other words no stone is left unturned in my quest for a profitable outcome to my recommendations , whether they are sides or totals.

California is in a rebuilding season but they are showing a marked uptick in their performance levels as the season has progressed. My own power rankings suggest the Bears are more than capable of covering the number here on the road vs a more experienced UCLA side that is experiencing a lot of injury issues to depth players and is on a current 3 game losing streak.

UCLA is 26-40 ATS  L/66 as a favorite .

CBB Road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points (CALIFORNIA) - after being beaten by the spread by 42 or more points total in their last seven games against opponent after going over the total by more than 18 points in their previous game are 45-17 ATS L/21 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

San Diego after a quick start to their campaign have lost 4 of their L/5 and are now dejected after a ugly performance against BYU last time out losing by a 74-58 count.  Meanwhile, Santa Clara are a under rated team, that is getting better as the season has progressed. They are 4-3 in their L/7, but the 3 losses have all come to quality teams, BYU, St.Mary's and Gonzaga, with the 4 wins coming against teams that are on par with their opponent tonight San Diego . With that said, I'm recommending we take the points in this spot play.

SAN DIEGO is 12-28 ATS  L/40  in home games versus poor defensive teams - shooting pct defense of 45% or more  after 15+ games .SANTA CLARA is 7-0 ATS   in road games after a loss by 15 points or more , which happened last time out vs Gonzaga (75-60). SAN DIEGO is 0-7 ATS  L/7  in home games after a game forcing opponent to commit 8 or less turnovers.

Santa Clara is 15-5 ATS L/20 in this series and have won their L/2 visits to San Diego.

CBB home team (SAN DIEGO) - average shooting team (42.5-45%) against an terrible defensive team (47.5% or more ), average rebounding team (+/-3 reb/game) against a poor rebounding team (-3 to -6 reb/game) are 55-105  ATS L/21 seasons for a go against  65% conversion rate for bettors.

The Arizona Sun Devils started their season out with 12 straight wins, and were the talk of College basketball .  Since then , they have lost 4 of 6 in conference play, and despite of performing  at a below average clip, are being over rated by the lines-makers thanks in part to their fast start. The Sun Devils won last time out vs a rebuilding  California program  by 81-73 count, but did not cover as hefty 10 point favs and in the process failed to cover for the  7th straight time. Meanwhile Utah is off two straight home wins, and enter this game with revenge, for a 80-77 loss on Jan 7th as 3 point home dogs. Now with payback at hand , I expect the Utes, who are 11-0-1 ATS L/12 in this series to be very competitive in a possible upset scenario. Note: Utah is 3-0 SU/ATS L/3 in this series when seeking same season revenge.  

ARIZONA ST is 1-9 ATS  off a win against a conference rival. UTAH is 25-10 ATS  L/35 revenging a close loss vs opponent of 3 points or less.

Arizona remains the front runner for a PAC12 championship and subsequent NCAA tourney appearance in what is looking like a weaker than normal conference this season. Meanwhile Colorado has won 4 of their L/6 in conference action, covering in 5 of those games.

LA Monroe is struggling to score, as is evident by a 48,52, and 55 point offensive outputs in their \L/3games.  LA Monroe 's saving grace  to some extent has been a decent D, that  allows just 61.3 ppg on home this season .  With that said, I'm expecting LA Monroe to try to slow this game down to grind, in an effort to control Troy's more aggressive offense, which I'm betting effects this total combined score to stay under.

LA-MONROE is 13-5 UNDER  versus good ball handling teams - committing 14 or less turnovers/game after 15+ games.

Ohio State has played some surprisingly  good ball to this point in the season, and because of their successes are being over rated on the point spread according to my own numbers tonight. The public is all over the Buckeyes. But I'm waiting on them to fade and refuse to follow the consensus despite of their successes to this point in the season.

 The Kings enter this game with a little momentum after they  snapped an eight-game losing streak Tuesday, by taking out  the Orlando Magic 105-99 in the visitors role. Meanwhile, the Heat are of an emotional close lose by a  99-90 count at the Houston Rockets on Monday. That game was very competitive  to the very end and a grueling conclusion to  a 5 game road trip , and will now have a Heat side that has not been home in 10 days, and still getting acclimated to their own digs again in a letdown spot. This makes the Heat vulnerable in my opinion, especially on a slightly bloated line. Hey folks, I know the Kings may not inspire bettors, but they are playing better overall ball as this season has progressed and found a spark plug Garrett Temple who had a career best 34 points last time out. His energy and professionalism/work ethic  are spreading through the Kings locker room and translating itself into a nice energy flow for his team. QUOTE: "Garrett has been a fantastic leader for us, and I couldn't be happier for him," Kings coach Dave Joerger told the media. "He is the ultimate professional. For him to have this type of night, I'm just tickled." END QUOTE.

Stanford has won 5 of their L/6 and covered 6 straight games. Their only loss came last time out, against Arizona by a 73-71 loss. The Cardinal have gotten better with each successive game this season, and despite of being in a letdown situation after their loss to Arizona last time out, I'm betting the linesmakers have over exaggerated the situation by asking USC bettors to lay 10 points. Stanford shown its moxy, and I expect they will find the energy to get us a cover here as DD ddogs.

The discrepancy between my numbers in the offered total is partially based on series history which has seen both sides take part in a high scoring affairs.

Cleveland and San Antonio are two teams that have been  under performing of late. But one team looks like they care and are working hard to get back on track, while the other( Cleveland ) despite of saying what's politically correct to the media , looks like their just going thorough the motions. The Cavs leader, LeBron James responses to media of late about his team performances (3-9 SU L/12) , have been  positive in nature, and despite of him saying he's playing as hard as ever,  its not translating onto the court, which  is a worrisome situation.  The Cavs biggest issue is one that makes you wonder if their a championship calibre team,  as  they have allowed 119.8 ppg in their L/5 trips to the hardwood, and overall on the season rank 28th in defensive efficiency. Meanwhile, San Antonio are coming off a only their 4th loss at home this season last time out to Indiana, but are more than capable of bouncing back behind a defense, that is ranked No.1 in the league in points allowed and 2nd in defensive efficiency. With that said, the difference maker tonight I'm betting will come via the superior defense and coach ( Popovich).

CLEVELAND is 11-29 ATS  versus teams who make 6 or more 3 point shots/game on the season this season and is 4-15 ATS versus horrible foul drawing teams - attempting 21 or less free throws/game this season .CLEVELAND is 1-10 ATS  after having lost 2 of their last 3 games this season.CLEVELAND is 3-13 ATS after scoring 115 points or more this season and is 1-9 ATS  off a home loss by 10 points which happened against  Oklahoma City 148-124.

SAN ANTONIO is 9-1 ATS  in home games after playing a home game this season. SAN ANTONIO is 17-5 ATS L/22 in home games off a upset loss as a favorite which happened against Indiana last time out.

NBA Home teams where the line is +3 to -3 (SAN ANTONIO) - off a upset loss as a favorite, in a game involving two good teams (60% to 75%) are 63-28 L/ 21 seasons for 69% conversion rate for bettors on the blind.

NBA Home teams vs. the money line (SAN ANTONIO) - after 2 or more consecutive losses, a good team (60% to 75%) playing a marginal winning team (51% to 60%) are 35-2 SU L/5 seasons, winning SU by 10.6 ppg for a 94% conversion rate for bettors.

Davidson is currently playing their best hoops of the season, and have won 5 straight games and 6 of their L/7 overall. Meanwhile, their opponents Dayton, in a rebuilding season, are still very inconsistent, as is evident by their current 2 game losing streak, which ha culminated a recent 6-6 run. According to my power rankings the superior side is Davidson, nd they get my backing in this spot play.

DAVIDSON is 9-2 ATS L/11 versus teams who are called for 17 or less fouls/game.DAYTON is 2-8 ATS L/10 after playing a home game this season.

CBB Home teams as an underdog or pick (DAYTON) - after going over the total by 48 or more points total in their last seven games against opponent after going under the total by 48 or more points total in their last ten games are 5-24 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 83% conversion rate for bettors.

Wisconsin is playing its seventh and eighth road games of the season this week. Only two major conference teams have played more than six road games . This is making this young team tougher and more accustomed to being on the road, which also makes them a lot more dangerous than if they were to have played mostly at home. After  watching Badgers All-American Etahn Happ  ranking  (sixth at 16.7 ppg in Big 10), rebounds (fourth at 8.5 rpg) and assists (10th at 3.7 apg) its become obvious to me this team will jell around him, and get better as this season progresses.

Wisconsin has won six of the last seven meetings, with the one loss coming in last season's only meeting, which resulted in a 59-57 Hawkeyes' win in Madison . The Badgers now  have payback on todays agenda. UW is currently enjoying a three-game win streak in Iowa City and get the nod again to add to a 19-6 overall record here.

CBB Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (WISCONSIN) - after beating the spread by more than 18 points in their previous game against opponent after going over the total by 24 or more points total in their last three games are 57-22 ATS L/21 seasons for a 72% conversion rate for bettors.

Arkansas has just to be much firepower for a Georgia side, that has struggles on offense of late. Yes, Georgia can play solid D, but its their offensive transition game that most worries me , which makes them fade material in this spot vs this type of explosive side that is converting on  an amazing 49.3%  from the field.

GEORGIA is 3-11 ATS  L/14 versus good 3 point shooting teams - making 37% or more of their attempts . ARKANSAS is 9-2 ATS  L/11  in road games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing 14 or less turnovers/game .GEORGIA is 0-6 ATS  L/6  in home games after having lost 2 of their last 3 games. ARKANSAS is 10-2 ATS  L/12 when the total is 140 to 149.5 .

The Timberwolves were riding a  five-game win streak in early January, but have suddenly begun to struggle losing to Orlando and Houston in back to back affairs, before coming up with a big victory vs the Raptors on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Clippers, ended a  six-game winning run  on the weekend with a loss to the Jazz. The Clippers have also  won four consecutive home games and 12 of their past 16 contests overall  and  from a matchup standpoint here on their own home floor deserve to be favorites and are my choice tonight as short chalk. Note: LA also has revenge on board for a loss here to the Wolves back in December, and will primed for payback.

Note: Wolves Jimmy butler is less than 100% for this tilt with a knee injury and may miss this tilt.

NBA Road teams where the line is +3 to -3 (MINNESOTA) - hot team - having covered 6 or 7 of their last 8 against the spread, with a winning record on the season are 31-69 ATS L/5 seasons for a go against 69% conversion rate for bettors.

NBA Underdogs vs the money line (MINNESOTA) - in a game involving 2 up-tempo teams (82 or more  shots/game), after a game - attempting 20+ more free throws than opponent are 9-52 SU L/ 5 seasons and a perfect 0-7 SU this season for a go against conversion rate of 85% for bettors.

The No. 9 ranked  Spartans, have only played two true road games this season, so tonight's conference tilt will give us some more insight into a team, that is being slightly over rated here because of their earlier season successes. Meanwhile, Illinois (10-10, 0-7) is the only Big Ten team without a conference victory, and enter this game in desperation mode, and will I'm betting leave everything on the court tonight, in what I estimate will be a cover.

ILLINOIS is 6-0 ATS  L/6 after scoring 65 points or less 2 straight games. MICHIGAN ST is 0-7 ATS  L/7  in road games off a win by 10 points or more over a conference rival  which happened vs Indiana last time out by a 85-57 count.

Illinois has covered 11 of the L/16 meetings here at home in this series.

The Denver Nuggets were focused this season in the first meeting,  between these teams  in Portland on Dec 22. walking away with a solid 102-85 win in a game where they looked like they matched up well vs their opponents. After ugly losses to Atlanta and Phoenix at home lately, HC Malone is on the hot seat, and needs a win here to keep the proverbial wolves at bay. I'm betting he will pull out all the stops here to get his reeling team back in gear here in what is important game for the Nuggets in a few different ways.

Trail Blazers are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 road games.Nuggets are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. NBA Northwest.Favorite is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings.

NBA Home teams vs. the money line (DENVER) - off a upset loss as a favorite against opponent after a home game where both teams score 100 or more points are 117-43 SU winning by an  average of 6.8 ppg.

.TCU wants to run and gun and Bill Huggins and company could comply, but I'm betting they won't as they choose to slow this game down and take TCU out of their comfort zone. This I'm betting leads to a score that fails to eclipse the totals number. W VIRGINIA is 9-1 UNDER  L/10 versus good shooting teams - making 45%or more  of their shots this season with a combined average score of 143.1 ppg going on the board.W VIRGINIA is 7-0 UNDER  L/7 versus explosive offensive teams - scoring 84+ points/game with a combined average of 154.2 ppg scored.W VIRGINIA is 6-0 UNDER  L/6 when the total is  159.5 160 over the last few seasons with a combined average of 153 ppg scored. ( key on the set  total as the lines  makers know these facts/stats as well) Still plenty of value at 159 . Home teams where the total is between 159 and 169.5 points (TCU) - up-tempo team averaging 62 or more shots/game on the season, after 2 straight games - allowing a shooting pct. of 50% or higher are 23-4 UNDER L/21 seasons for a 85% conversion rate for bettors with a combined average of 154.6 ppg scored.

The explosive Rockets take on the feisty Miami Heat on Monday night at Toyota Center  after exerting a lot of energy in back to back wins vs  the  Minnesota Timberwolves and Warriors at home . Now in an emotional let down spot I expect the Rockets may find themselves in a bit of a letdown spot vs a physical side  and susceptible to being upset but more importantly failing in their quest to cover.

HOUSTON is 5-17 ATS  L/22  in home games in non-conference games and is 6-17 ATS  off an upset win as an underdog, which happened vs the Warriors last time out.

MIAMI is 13-4 ATS  L/17 as a road underdog of 6.5 to 12 points .

Nebraska according to my power rankings is being under rated here vs a public team (Ohio State ), that has performed well above expected levels this season. We have plenty of value here backing  the underdog. Note: I watched Nebraska vs powerful Purdue in a game earlier this season, and was impressed by their tenaciousness under the rim and paint, against their big men, and once again feel they will once again not back down in this matchup) . Take the points with the road dog.

NEBRASKA is 11-1 ATS l/12 versus good ball handling teams - committing

 Utah won its last game but not has not won two games in a row  in over a month. I'm betting things wont change this  Monday night when they visits the Atlanta Hawks. It must be noted that on  the season the Jazz are just 8-15 SU on the road, for the leagues worst away record. Meanwhile, Atlanta after a horrendous start to their campaign, has won seven  of their L/ 16 games and more importantly have covered 11 of their L/17 overall and have become highly competitive. The Hawks got shellacked last time out, but this rebuilding franchise has been resilient of late, and are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games following a double-digit loss at home. In their current forms the wrong team is favored here. Take the points.

Jazz are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a losing home record.

NBA Home teams vs. the money line (ATLANTA) - off an upset loss by 10 points or more as a favorite, well rested team - playing 6 or less games in 14 days are 60-19 SU L/5 seasons for a 76% conversion rate for bettors.
