This is a 4* play on Texas A&M.

The Aggies finished second in the SEC ahead of Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn. They don't get a ton of respect from bettors or bookmakers, but they just keep winning games. They play solid defense, ranking 3rd in the SEC in opponent's scoring allowing just 66 points per game. Penn State finished the season strong winning eight of nine before falling to Purdue in the BIG10 Tournament Final. Finishing the season strong was the only way the ninth place team in the BIG10 managed to sneak into the tournament.  The Aggies are 10-2 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and they are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games versus a team with a winning percentage above .600.

This is a 4* play on TEN.

The Vols were 10-3 in their non-conference schedule, with wins over Kansas, Maryland and Texas. They are one of just five teams that beat Alabama this year, and they ranked first in the SEC in opponent's scoring allowing just 58 points per game. Tennessee didn't finish the season strong, and they look vulnerable to an upset at some point in the tournament, but I don't think it's gonna happen against a Sun Belt team in the first round. The Ragin Cajuns played one ranked team this year, losing by 28 to Texas. Asking the Vols to win this game by double digits seems reasonable.

This is a 10* play on Duke.

By now, everyone knows that #5 seeds are vulnerable to upsets in the first round versus #12 seeds. Maybe that's how ACC Tournament champions Duke open as a single digit favorite and get bet down to -6.5 or -6. I believe the perception doesn't line up with the reality here at the NCAA Tournament. When a double digit seed wins outright it makes headlines, but the other 90 percent of the time it doesn't get talked about. Duke comes in on a nine game winning streak, and the average margin of victory in those games is well over 10 points per game. Oral Roberts has failed to cover in 12 of their last 15 versus teams with a winning percentage of .600 or better. The Golden Eagles covered just twice in their last nine games overall.

This is a 4* play on Arizona.

The Wildcats won their PAC12 Semi Final game against Arizona State by 19 points. They then defeated UCLA in the Final to become PAC12 Champions. Their non conference schedule was no cake walk, with games against Tennessee, Indiana, Creighton and San Diego State. That didn't stop them from going 12-0 in non-conference games. Princeton didn't play any ranked teams, in fact they didn't play any teams from a Power Five conference. This should be a mismatch from start to finish.

This is a 4* play on WVU.

The Mountaineers finished the season strong, winning four of five before falling to Kansas in the BIG12 Tournament. The covered the spread in five of those six games. Maryland comes in as losers of three of four, with the one win coming against last place Minnesota. The Terrapins are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games, and they are 5-11 straight up in neutral and road games this season.

This is a 2* play on Vandy.

The Commodores have been one of the hottest teams in the country at the end of the season. Prior to losing to Texas A&M in the SEC Tournament Semifinal, they had won 10 of 11 with wins over Kentucky (twice), Tennessee and Auburn. They host the Yale Bulldogs, and Vandy is 5-0 ATS in their last five home games. The Commodores are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a ATS loss.

This is a 2* play on IND.

Normally in the second game of a two game series, I would look to back the team playing with revenge in Game 2. That's not going to happen here in Detroit tonight, as this team has a lot more going on. They have four key players out of the lineup, and they are just a half game behind Houston for the race to finish with the worst record in the NBA. The Pistons are tanking, and the Pacers seem to be less concerned about the draft lottery. The Pacers are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall, and they have covered in four of their last five on the road.

This is a 10* play on Memphis.

The Cougars have won seven of the last 10 meetings straight up, but they have failed to cover in all but one of those games. These teams played just a week ago, and Memphis lost by two with Houston hitting the winner at the buzzer. Leading scorer Marcus played 37 minutes in that game, but he missed yesterday's game against Cincinnati. He will either miss this game, or he will be limited by a groin injury. With Houston's spot in the tournament secure, I see no reason for them to rush him back. The Cougars are 1-4 ATS in their last five games overall, and they have failed to cover in five of their last six coming off a win. I'll take the points, and sprinkle a little on the moneyline.

This is a 10* play on Under.

The Aggies have won seven of eight overall, and prior to yesterday's win over Vanderbilt they had played seven straight games with neither team scoring 70 points. One game during that span was a 67-61 home win over Alabama in the final game of the regular season. Three of the last four head to head meetings between these teams have gone under the total, and Alabama has failed to read the total in nine of their last 11 versus a team with a winning record. The Aggies have gone under in 10 of their last 13 versus a team with a winning record. This game should look a lot like the last meeting which was played just last week.

This is a 4* play on PHX.

No KD, the Suns are still the better team here. After his injury they went on to win by 30+ in a home game against the scrappy OKC Thunder. They got Chris Paul and Devin Booker back, and Booker scored 44 against the Thunder. The Suns are 15-5-1 ATS in their last 21 games overall, and they are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Suns have won four of five straight up in the last five meetings versus the Kings, and four of those games were in Sacramento.

This is a 4* play on VANDY.

I had Vandy yesterday, and here is what I said prior to their game against Kentucky: "Momentum is huge in basketball, and few people are probably aware that Vanderbilt might be the hottest team in the country coming into their conference tournament game versus Kentucky Friday. They've won nine of their last 10 overall, and wins came against #6 Tennessee and #23 Kentucky during that span. The Commodores are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 neutral site games." Now I also had Texas A&M yesterday, and I do think the Aggies deserve to come into this game as the favorite. I am not about to step in front of the hottest team in the country here, so I'll take Vandy plus the points.

This is a 4* play on TOR.

The Lakers and the Raptors each have 32 wins, but Toronto comes in as the better team in recent weeks. The Raptors had won eight of 10 before this current road trip. They have dropped three of four games, losing some close contests that ended in controversy. Fred Van Fleet let his emotions get the best of him in a post game press conference, and he was fined $30,000 for remarks about the officials. This Raptors team comes into LA looking to lay the smack down, the Lakers are still banged up. To say that history favors Toronto would be an understatement. The Raptors are 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings, and they are 13-3 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Los Angeles.

This is a 10* play on Under.

The Texas A&M Aggies finished in 2nd place in the SEC, and their success comes in part because of their elite defense. They come in allowing just 62.8 points per game in their last five overall. They have won five of their last six overall, and neither team scored 70 points in ANY of those six games. They held #2 ranked Alabama to 61 points, #11 Tennessee to 63 points, and they held Arkansas to 56 points. The Aggies won their last game 67-61 at home versus Alabama, and the under is 10-4 in the Aggies last 14 games following a ATS win.

This is a 2* play on Villanova.

These two teams split the season series, but even when Villanova lost at Creighton it was a close game decided by five points. The Wildcats at the end of the season were not the same team as they were at the beginning of the season. Villanova won six of it's last eight games, and the Wildcats covered the spread in four of their last five. History favors Villanova as the underdog is 10-2 ATS in the last 12 meetings. I'll take the points.

This is a 5* play on Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt lost by 57 points at Alabama at the end of January, but they went on to win eight of their final nine games. During that span they beat Tennessee, Kentucky and Auburn. I feel pretty comfortable saying that the Commodores are the hottest team in college basketball that nobody is talking about. The Tigers only won twice in conference play this season, but one of their wins came against Vanderbilt. The Commodores are 8-1 ATS in their last nine neutral site games, and they look good in a revenge spot here in the Conference Tournament.

This is a 2* play on Under.

Both BIG12 games failed to go over 140 points in the conference tournament yesterday. The Cowboys won 57-49 in their game versus Oklahoma. They lost 89-75 at Texas back in January, but each of the previous three meetings between these teams fell well short of the total. The total in each of the last four meetings had been set below 140. I am expecting another low scoring affair here at a neutral site in the conference tournament.

The Wolverines finished the season winning three of their final five games, and one of those wins was a 59-48 win at Rutgers. They covered the spread in all five of those games, losing by a combined six points in road games at Illinois and Indiana. Rutgers won just two of their last five games of the season, and those wins came by a combined four points at Penn State and Wisconsin. The Scarlet Knights come in averaging 57.8 points per game in their last five, exactly 20 points fewer than Michigan has averaged during that span. The Wolverines are 36-15-2 ATS in their last 53 neutral site games. The Scarlet Knights are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games overall.

The Sooners already lost twice to the Cowboys this season, but things could be different here. Oklahoma State lost five of their last six games, with the only win coming by three points against a Texas Tech team that just suspended their coach. The Cowboys have allowed opponents to average over 80 points per game in their last five. The Sooners were 3-3 in their final six games of the season, five of those games versus ranked teams. They beat #12 K-State, #23 Iowa State, #22 TCU and they lost by just two points at #6 Texas. The Sooners are 7-1 ATS in their last eight neutral site games, while the Cowboys have failed to cover in four straight at neutral sites.

The Hokies won the ACC Tournament last year, and if they want to go to the NCAA Tournament they probably have to do it again this year. The won their final three games of the season, but against three of the bottom four teams in the conference. The Wolfpack lost back to back games at the end of the year, but there is no shame in losing by four at Duke in their last game. They had won 11 of 14 prior to that. The Hokies are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games versus a team with a winning record, and they have failed to cover in five of their last six at a neutral site.

So the Raptors come in as winners of six of their last eight overall, and they have been getting it done with their defense. Toronto has held their last five opponents well below the NBA average in points per game (110) giving up just 107 ppg during that span. They haven't been scoring though, averaging just over 103 points per game on offense. Denver can play defense as well, and I expect these teams to play hard here tonight. The total of 227.5 is far higher than it has been in any of the last 10 head to head meetings. The last time Toronto played at Denver (March last year) the total was just 221.5.

So St. Mary's is one of the best defensive teams in the country, and they did win 57-56 at BYU back in January. BYU score 65 in the rematch at St. Mary's though, losing by just six points. The Gaels come in allowing over 63 points per game in their last five overall. BYU comes in scoring over 76 points per game in their last five overall. This number looks a little low for a neutral site game, considering the over is 146-118 in college basketball games played at Orleans Arena (prior to WCC Tournament). There has been several high scores here in this venue since the tournament started, and we have yet to see a game with less than 136 points scored.

This is a 4* play on LAC.

I gotta fade the Grizzlies in this spot, as this team is in complete shambles. Ja Morant is suspended for not just playing with a gun in a nightclub, but posting it on Intagram like an ever bigger fool. Dillon Brooks and Brandon Clarke are out with injuries, so there goes three of their top five scorers. Additionally leading rebounder Steven Adams hasn't played since January. The Clippers are healthy, but they've lost five straight since bringing in Russ Westbrick. I didn't like the move, and I still don't like it. That said a motivated team at full strength at home looking to break out of a slump should get it done against a shorthanded Memphis team.

I like the home dog here. I really think the Tigers will be up for this final home game against Conference champs Houston. I don't see any reason for the Cougars to get fired up about this game as they get geared up for tournament season. The home team is 9-1 straight up in the last 10 meetings, and last year Memphis won at home by a score of 75-61. They lost at Houston by just eight points a few weeks ago, asking them to cover six here seems very reasonable. Don't be surprised if the Tigers win outright, a sprinkle on the ML is probably a good idea.

Santa Clara swept the season series, winning both games by double digits. The finished the season on a roll, winning their final seven games. One of those was an 84-70 win at San Francisco. The Dons are coming off a win over Pacific, but they are 9-23 ATS in their last 32 games following a ATS win. The Broncos come in averaging over 85 points per game in their last five overall, and I don't think the Dons have the firepower to keep up.

Both these teams are playing the second game of a back to back, but the Kings won at home 128-127 versus the Clippers last night, and they don't have to travel. Minnesota played in LA, and will be playing a fourth straight game on the road tonight. The Kings are a young team that might not mind playing on back to back nights, as evidenced by the fact that they are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games playing the second of a back to back. Minnesota has failed to cover in five of their last six coming off a win.

The Vols are looking forward to the NCAA Tournament, while the Tigers might need a win here today if they want to get in. Auburn is coming off an overtime loss at Alabama, but they are much stronger on their home floor than they are on the road. The Tigers are 13-2 at home, while the Vols are just 4-5 on the road. Auburn has won five of the last seven head to head meetings, and all three home meetings since 2018. The Tigers are 12-5 ATS in their last 17 games following a straight up loss, while the Vols have failed to cover in four straight road games.

The Mustangs got off to a rough start in the American, but they've been playing a lot better down the stretch. They catch Memphis at the end of the season with a home game against #1 ranked Houston on deck, and the Tigers could get caught looking ahead here. The Mustangs are averaging over 75 points per game in their last five overall, just slightly more than Memphis during that span. While they have won just twice in their last six overall, their only loss during that span that came by more than five points was against Houston.

The home team has won seven of the last nine meetings between these teams, and the Wildcats have already beaten Purdue, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa at home this season. Northwestern is 6-1 ATS in their last seven overall, and they have covered in five of their last six home games.

For the first half of the season they ranked near the bottom of the league in scoring, and one of the top team in opponent scoring. We have a high total in tonight's home game against the Timberwolves, and I expect to see some regression to the mean. The under is 22-7 in the Clippers last 29 home games, and they have failed to reach the total in five of their last seven home games against Minnesota.

The Magic have been covering more games than they have been winning, going 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games.

Often when a team gets blown out like that, you want to come back with them in their next game. Perhaps not a team with a completely new starting five that hasn't had time to gel. Not a team that is in the middle of a chaotic rebuild after trading away Kyrie and KD. The Hawks are 4-1 ATS in their last five home games versus Brooklyn, and they have covered in seven of the last nine overall meetings.

The Bulldogs might not be as good as they have been in previous seasons, but I believe they are still top dog in the WCC. I spoke on TV in a live interview with Dan Alexander a few weeks ago, saying that Gonzaga at 4-1 to win the conference was a good bet. They need to win tonight, and move ahead of SMC in NET rating (there was some confusion between NET and RPI). So SMC won at home in OT in the previous meeting a few weeks back, but that was just their second win in the last 10 head to head meetings. Both of those wins have come at home, and their losses at Gonzaga have come by an average margin of 17 points, and all six of those games were decided by double digits. Even in the OT win at home, SMC scored the first bucket, but Gonzaga too over shortly after and never trailed again in regulation.

Kansas State has held opponents to just 60 points per game at home, and they have only scored an average of 67 points per game in their last five overall. When these two teams played in Manhattan last season, the bookmakers set the total at 136. They came up short of the number in that game, and the total for tonight's game is almost 10 points higher. They under is 5-0 in the Wildcats last five home games.

This is a 4* play on NW. 

The Wildcats sit above Iowa in the BIG10 standings, and they are 12-4 overall at home. Their last two home games were outright wins over Purdue and Indiana, and yet unranked Iowa comes in as a favorite. It might have something to do with the fact that Iowa has won nine straight meetings between the two teams dating back to 2017. That's something not likely lost by the Wildcats who look like they should be the favorite in this game. The Hawkeyes are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games, and the home team is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. Iowa is just 3-5 SU on the road. Wrong team favored!

This is a 4* play on Purdue. 

Ohio State is reeling! They have lost 12 of their last 13 overall and they are 1-8 SU on the road. They aren't just losing, they are getting blown out. The Buckeyes have covered the spread just once in their last 12 games, and they have failed to cover in seven straight on the road. Asking the Boilermakers to win by double digits here doesn't seem unreasonable at all.

This is a 4* play on NCST. 

The Tar Heels are just 2-6 on the road while NC State is 13-1 at home. The Wolfpack are outscoring opponents by an average margin of 17 point per game at home. The home team is 5-1 SU and 5-1 ATS in the last five head to head meetings. The Tar Heels are likely getting too much respect for past performance, as this year's squad doesn't justify being a near pickem on the road here.

This is a 4* play on Under.

The Wolverines only scored 53 points in a 59-53 loss at East Lansing back in January. The good news for Michigan fans is that the home team has won nine straight head to head meetings between these two teams. Michigan State is scoring just 60 points per game in their last five overall, and they have held opponents to fewer than 60 points per game during that span. The Wolverines have failed to score 70 in four of their last five versus Sparty. Expect points to be hard to come by here in this rivalry game.

This is a 4* play on Under.

The Horned Frogs have struggled since losing leading scorer Mike Miles. They have only scored an average of 67.4 points per game in their last five overall. They still have a solid home record going 11-3 straight up and holding opponents to just 62.1 points per game. The Oklahoma State Cowboys are strong defensively even on the road, where they have held opponents to just 66 points per game. The total has been listed below 140 in each of the last 10 head to head meetings between these teams, and this appears to be a rather inflated number.

This is a 10* play on K-State.

The Wildcats have lost four of their five, but three of those losses came on the road. They host Iowa State, and the Cyclones have lost five in a row on the road. Kansas State is 13-1 SU at home, outscoring opponents by an average margin of 15 points per game. They are allowing just 60 points per game at home, while the Cyclones are scoring less than 65 points per game on the road. The Wildcats are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games, while the Cyclones have failed to cover in six of their last eight overall.

This is a 4* play on Under.

The Hoosiers beat Illinois by a score of 80-65 back in January, but they shot 62 percent from the field in that game, and I don't like their chances of repeating that performance. Illinois won at Indiana the last time they played there by a score of 74-57 last February. The total went under the number of 137 in that game, and we see a much higher total here in today's game. The Hoosiers come in scoring less than 65 points per game in their last five overall, and they have held opponents to fewer than 63 points per game at home. I am expecting a defensive battle here in this revenge game.

This is a 4* play on Under.

The Red Raiders have lost six of seven on the road, and they are scoring less than 64 points per game during that span. They scored just 61 in a home loss to the Mountaineers back in January. They went under the number of 139 in that game, and the bookmakers have sent the total at 145.5 for today's game. That number is far higher than we have seen in any of the previous 10 head to head meetings. In fact the total was lower than 140 in nine of those 10 contests. I expect to see another low scoring game between these two teams.

This is a 2* play on Sienna.

The Saints are just a half game out of first place in the Conference, and they host Quinnipiac on Friday. Sienna has owned this series in recent meetings, winning five of the last six straight up. The Saints lost their last home game to Niagara, but their leading scorer Javian McCollum didn't play in that game. He's scored 20+ points in each of the last two games though, big wins over Marist and Mt St. Mary's. The Saints are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 games overall, and the favorite has covered in 11 of the last 16 meetings. The Bobcats have lost their last three road games, most recently by 20 points against the last place Canisius Golden Griffins.

This is a 2* play on IOWA.

The Buckeyes are now 1-11 in their last 12 games overall. They are coming off a 21-point home loss to Michigan State, and now they are playing on the road at Iowa Thursday. This is a revenge game for the Hawkeyes who lost 93-77 at Ohio State in January. Ohio State has struggled to score, averaging just 60 points per game in their last five overall. That's 20 points [er game less than Iowa has scored during that same span. The Hawkeyes are 12-2 SU at home, outscoring opponents by an average margin of 15 points in those games. The Buckeyes have failed to cover in six straight road games, and they are 0-11 ATS in their last 11 losses.

This is a 2* play on ISU.

The Horned Frogs have lost four of five games since leading scorer Mike Miles went down with a knee injury. They are in a tough spot here on the road at Iowa State, who is 12-1 SU at home this season. The Cyclones are outscoring opponents by almost 20 points per game at home, and they are holding teams to just 54 points per game on their home floor. The Horned Frogs lost their last road game by 21 points at Kansas State. I'll take the home team.

This is a 3* play on NW.

So I had Michigan on Saturday, and they lost 62-61 at home to Indiana. The Wolverines failed to score in the final five minutes of that game. I want to go against the Hoosiers again here as they are the favorite on the road at Northwestern. The Wildcats are 11-4 at home, while Indiana has a losing record on the road. These two teams have the exact same record overall and in conference. Northwestern is 3-1 straight up in the last four versus Indiana, and the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last five meetings. I think this is a situation where the wrong team is favored.

This is a 2* play on Fordham.

The Rams are the favorite here in a home game against St. Bonaventure, and prior to this season the Bonnies had won and covered in eight straight meetings between these teams. The Bonnies have been a powerhouse in the A10 for years, but this isn't the same team we have seen in recent seasons. This year's squad has lost 8-of-10 on the road, and they are just 13-13 overall. Fordham on the other hand is 15-2 at home and 20-5 overall. One of their wins came at St. Bonnies by a score of 79-68. The Rams are 7-1 ATS in their last eight overall, and they are 24-7-1 ATS in their last 32 home games.

This is a 10* play on UGA.

The Georgia Bulldogs are 12-2 at home, and they host an LSU team that is 0-6 on the road. Georgia is coming off a home win over Kentucky, and some might say that sets them up for a let down here. I think at this point in the season a home game against a team with a 1-11 conference record is more of an opportunity than a spot we would see a let down. The Tigers are 8-20-1 ATS in their last 29 games overall, and they are coming off a 74-62 home loss to Texas A&M. They are 0-7 ATS in their last seven coming off a double digit home loss. The home team has covered in four of the last five head to head meetings.

This is a 3* play on OKC.

The Pelicans got some bad news on Zion Williamson recently, and now CJ McCollum is listed as questionable for Monday's game at OKC. The Thunder have been ultra competitive lately, winning three of their last four. They are 12-4-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall. They have covered in six of their last eight home games, and they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 home games versus a team with a losing road record. The Pelicans have failed to cover in five of their last six road games, and they are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games against a team with a winning home record. I'll take the home team.

This is a 2* play on UNC.

There is no doubt that this isn't most mighty of UNC Tar Heel teams, but they are still 11-1 at home in Chapel Hill. They are a short favorite in tonight's home game against Miami, and we've been waiting a while for this Hurricanes team to suffer a let down. This is a perfect spot to face a Miami team that is a little inflated right now. They have lost four of their last five at Chapel Hill, and the Tar Heels have outscored the opposition by an average margin of 14 points per game at home. I'll take the unranked home favorite versus the ranked underdog.

This is a 2* play on Over.

The Youngstown State Penguins lead the Horizon in scoring averaging over 83 points per game. They will play at Cleveland State, and the Vikings are a team more known for their defensive prowess. This battle of conflicting styles might still yield plenty of points here on Sunday. The last game between these teams ended with the Penguins winning 85-71. Cleveland State has averaged over 74 points per game in their last five overall. This number looks incredibly low when you consider the over is 12-4 in Vikings last 16 home games.

The Wizards have won seven of their last 10 overall, and they host an Indiana team that has lost seven of their last eight overall. This will be the second game of a back to back for the Pacers, who are coming off a home loss to Phoenix. The Pacers are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall, and they have failed to cover in seven of their last eight road games. Washington has covered in four of their last five home games against the Pacers.

Michigan and Indiana are in a four way tie for second place in the BIG10. The Wolverines have covered the spread in six of their last seven home games, and they host a Hoosiers team that is 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. The Hoosiers beat Michigan last March, but the Wolverines had won the previous nine meetings outright. Michigan averages almost 75 points per game at home, while the Hoosiers have scored just 67.8 points per game on the road. This should be a good game, but I'll take the home team to come away with the victory.

This is a 4* play on N.O.

The Pelicans are 20-9 at home, and they are coming off three straight home wins over LA, Atlanta and Sacramento. Sure Zion is on the shelf with an injury, but you would think they would be used to that by now. The good news is that Brandon Ingram is back, and he's averaged over 30 points in his last three starts. He struggled in his first three games back from injury, but he appears to be firing on all cylinders now. The Cavs are mediocre on the road (12-16) and they are 0-4 SU in their last four at New Orleans. The Cavs are coming off a home win over Detroit, and they are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a ATS win. This looks like the wrong team is favored.

They Rider Broncs are eyeing the NCAA Tournament, and they have a home game tonight against Fairfield. The Broncs have won seven straight, moving into first place in the Metro Atlantic. One of those wins came at Fairfield, and that was a close game. It might bot be as close here as the Broncs are 6-2 at home and they have won their home games by an average margin of 11 points. The Stags have lost seven of 10 on the road, and they bring a three game losing streak into tonight's game. The Stags are 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a ATS loss.

This is a 4* play on ATL. 

The Suns dealt Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and Mikal Bridges to Brooklyn for KD, but Durant won't be available for this game at Atlanta. That leaves Phoenix with a thin lineup after two of their top roll players were sent to the Nets. The Hawks on the other hand are at full strength, and they have historically owned the Suns in Atlanta. The Hawks have won and covered in four straight home games in this series. I'll fade the shorthanded Suns in this spot.

So no Luka for the Mavs, maybe Kyrie makes his debut. Don't expect Kyrie to come out and lead a shorthanded Mavs team to an upset of the Clippers in LA. Since Kawhi and Paul George have returned to full strength, LA has looked like one of the top teams in the NBA. This should be a double digit win for the Clippers.

This is a 2* play on PSU. 

The Badgers won 63-60 at home versus Penn State back in January, but they lost their last game at Penn State by double digits. I like the Nittany Lions to blow the doors off here in this revenge spot at home. Penn State comes in with an 11-1 home record, and they have outscored opponents by an average margin of 14 points in those games. Their last home game was a blowout win over Michigan, and they scored 49 points in the first half of that contest. The Badgers have failed to cover in 11 of their last 12 overall and nine of their last 10 coming off a loss. THe Nittany Lions are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 home games. I love Penn State in this revenge spot.

This is a 3* play on WVU. 

The Cyclones won at home versus West Virginia last February, but the Mountaineers had won six straight in this series before that. Playing at Morgantown is a tough task, and I like the home favorite here in this BIG12 rivalry game. Iowa State has lost five of seven road games this season, scoring just 63.6 points per contest. That surely wont be good enough against a West Virginia team that is 10-3 at home, averaging over 79 points per game on their home floor and outscoring opponents by an average margin of a dozen points in those games. Iowa State lost here last February by a score of 79-63 (matching the exact home away splits for each team).

This is a 2* play on Vanderbilt.

This is supposed to be a rivalry, but Tennessee has won 10 in a row straight up against Vanderbilt, and they come in asked to cover double digits as a road favorite. While the Vols have owned the series, the last three head to head were all decided by single digits. The underdog is 16-7-1 ATS in the last 24 meetings. The Vols are coming off a three point home win over Auburn, and they have only averaged 65 points per game in their last five overall. I'll take the points.

The Horned Frogs beat Kansas State at home by a score of 82-68 in January, and Mike Miles scored a game high 23 points. Miles is sidelined with a knee injury, and the Wildcats look good in this revenge game. They are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 games overall, and they have covered in five of their last six home games. Kansas State is 12-1 at home this season, and they have outscored opponents by an average margin of 14 points in those games. A shorthanded TCU team is likely to struggle in this spot.

This is a 4* play on WAKE.

The Tar Heels come in as Blue Blood road favorites here, despite their 2-5 road record. They have lost back to back games at Wake in 2022 and 2020. The home team is 5-0 straight up in the last five meetings in this series, and I expect that trend to continue here. The Tar Heels are 2-8-1 ATS in their last 11 road games, and they have failed to cover in four straight on the road versus a team with a winning home record. The Demon Deacons are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall, and this appears to be a case of the wrong team favored.

This is a 2* play on UCONN.

The Huskies were ranked #6 in the country when they lost a close game at then #25 ranked Marquette in January. This is a revenge spot as they host the Golden Eagles tonight. The Huskies are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 home games, and they have won their last two home games versus Marquette by a combined 28 points. The favorite has covered in five of the last six meetings, and this looks like a good spot to back the home team with a revenge angle.

This is a 4* play on LAC.

The Clippers are rolling, coming into Brooklyn as winners of seven of their last nine. When both Kawhi and Paul George are healthy, this is still one of the most formidable teams in the NBA. The Nets are moving on from Kyrie Irving, and that will shake up the lineup here tonight. While we aren't sure if Spencer Dinwiddie or Dorian Finley Smith will play, we are sure that Durant, Curry and Simmons will not. The Nets are 17-40-2 ATS in their last 59 home games, and they are likely to struggle to keep up to the Clippers with a bunch of backups.

This is a 2* play on Over.

The Duke Blue Devils lost 68-66 at home to Miami earlier this season, and while this is a revenge game for Duke, I expect a higher score here in Miami. The over is 18-8 in the Hurricanes last 26 versus a team with a winning record, and they have gone over in four of their last five home games. The Canes have a 12-0 home record, and they are averaging over 82 points per game at home. They beat the Blue Devils 78-74 in Miami last January, and we should expect a similar result here this time around.

The Badgers lost 66-63 at Northwestern on January 22, and this sets up a nice revenge angle for Wisconsin here at home Sunday. Wisconsin has owned the Wildcats in recent meetings, winning seven straight head to head prior to the last meeting. Wisconsin is 7-3 at home this season, holding opponents to just 61.3 points per game. It's possibly worth noting that all the Badgers other conference losses have come against teams that are ahead of Northwestern in the BIG10 standings.

The Grizzlies are struggling, and they come into tonight's home game versus the Raptors with two starters out, and two more questionable. Toronto has been horrible this season, dealing with their own injuries. The Raptors are 3-3 SU on their current road trip, and one of those losses was a game decided by three points in Utah. History favors the Raptors here in Memphis, where they have covered in five straight. They are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings overall. A shorthanded Grizzlies team has no business being asked to cover a number like this here.

They come in with a 1-6 road record, averaging just 67.4 points in those games. Michigan has an 8-3 home record, and they have outscored opponents by an average margin of eight points in those games.

This is a 10* play on DEN.

The Hawks are on a roll, coming off back to back wins over the Suns and the Jazz. They take on the Denver Nuggets tonight, and playing the second game of a back to back at altitude is a tough spot. Denver is 10-3 ATS in their last 13 home games, 24-4 overall at home, and 14-6 ATS in their last 20 overall. Nikola Jokic will likely not play both games in an upcoming back to back, but it makes more sense to rest him on the back end in Minnesota on Sunday. The Hawks might want to rest some of their starters here in Denver.

The Pistons aren't favored to win many games, but catching the Hornets on the second game of a back to back is as good a spot as you can get. Detroit has been quite competitive lately, losing by six at Dallas, losing by three versus Houston and winning outright at Brooklyn. The Pistons won at Charlotte in OT earlier this season, and Kelly Oubre Jr. was the Hornets leading scorer in that game. Oubre Jr. is out with a torn ligament in his hand, and Charlotte might be resting or limiting the minutes of some starters for tonight's game. LaMelo Ball was ejected in the 4th quarter last night in Chicago, and he's battled injuries all season long. It might be a good idea to rest him here in Detroit, or at least limit his minutes.

The Utes are just a game out of first place in the PAC12, and they host bottom feeders Stanford tonight. I have to believe Utah is at least 7-points better than Stanford. They beat the Cardinal by a score of 71-66 at Stanford earlier this season. Stanford comes in off four straight home wins, most recently against last place California. The Cardinal are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win. The Utes have outscored opponents by an average margin of 17 points while going 10-3 at home.

Despite all the injuries and a poor start to the season, the Suns have won six of their last seven, and they are 19-8 at home this season. Both DeAndre Ayton and Chris Paul are back in the lineup, and Ayton is coming off a double-double with 22 points and 13 boards in a win over the Raptors. They host the Atlanta Hawks, and the home team has won nine of the last 10 meetings in this series. The Hawks are 1-5-1 ATS in the last seven meetings in Phoenix. Tre Young is expected to return after missing the last game with sore ankle, but it might not be enough to get a win over a team that has won 51 of it's last 69 home games.

This is a 10* play on Oklahoma.

Some might suggest that the Sooners are primed for a let down after upsetting Alabama in a 24-point blowout win at home in their last game. I will push back on that, as it's a rivalry game in a revenge spot after they got blown out in Stillwater earlier in the year. The home team has won straight up in eight of the last 10 meetings, and the Cowboys are 2-5 straight up on the road. The home team is 21-8-1 in the last 30 head to head meetings. Oklahoma State struggles to score on the road (averaging 67.3 points per game) and I don't think they can score enough to keep up to the Sooners here.

The Clippers come into Chicago as short favorites, and they lost their last game 122-99 at Cleveland. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard were out due to load management, but we are expecting both stars to return tonight in Chicago. The Clippers have won five straight when both their stars play, and they were 32-11 when both played during the 2020-2021 season. The Clippers are 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings in Chicago. The Bulls have a rather pedestrian home record, and I don't think they are good enough to beat a team with two Top 10 players going at full speed.

This is a 10* play on MIA.

The Canes are 11-0 at home, while the Hokies are 0-6 on the road. This has all the signs of a close game but given the home away splits I gotta back the home team as a short favorite. The Hokies have scored an average of 67.5 points per game on the road, 13.5 points fewer than the Canes are scoring at home. The Hokies are 10-26-1 ATS in their last 37 road games, and just 2-7 ATS in their last nine overall. It's asking too much for them to get the upset here IMO.

Their last game was a 128-118 OT loss at home versus Phoenix. The Spurs have failed to cover in four straight, and they have failed to cover in four of their last five when coming off a loss. The Wizards have covered in four straight road games, and they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven road games versus a team with a losing record. The conclusion is that these two teams are trending in opposite directions, giving us value backing the road favorite.

A few weeks back the Pelicans were the best team in the Western Conference, but injuries have taken their toll.

I had Phoenix in their last game, and it was a disappointing loss to the Mavs. Here is what I said prior to that game: "The Suns have been decimated by injuries, but that hasn't prevented them from winning 18 of 25 home games. They host the Dallas Mavericks tonight, and Dallas has lost 15 of 23 road games. The home team is 8-1 SU in the last nine head to head meetings. Chris Paul is back, and he had 11 assists in a blowout win over Charlotte on Tuesday. The Mavs will not have 2nd leading scorer and 2nd leading rebounder Christian Wood.
