This is an 8* play on the Memphis Grizzlies.

The LA Lakers (19-38) comes off a 98-119 loss to the Indiana Pacers last night. Pau Gasol had 22 points and 11 rebounds in the loss. The Lakers lost for the 24th time out of 30 without Steve Nash, Kobe Bryant and Xavier Henry. The Memphis Grizzlies (31-24) comes off a 92-89 loss at Charlotte. Marc Gasol had 15 points, and Zach Randolph had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis, which fell two games behind Dallas in the race for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. The Lakers having to play the Pacers and then the Grizzlies right after the other is tough enough but having to do it on back to back to nights on the road spells disaster for the injury riddled club. The Grizzlies also come into this game motivated to revenge a four point loss at home to LA back in December when the team was playing poorly. Memphis is 5-2 ATS coming off an upset loss as the favorite. The Grizzlies have won four of five and have played some very solid basketball since the start of the New Year. LA has lost six of seven and is just 10-19 on the road. Lay the points in what will likely be a blowout.

This is an 8* play on Wake Forest.

Clemson (17-9) is coming off a 63-55 win over Georgia Tech. K.J. McDaniel scored 10 of his 16 points in the second half, when Clemson overcame a six-point deficit to win at Georgia Tech. Wake Forest (14-13) is coming off a 72-105 beat down at the hands of the Tar Heels at North Carolina. Coron Williams had 19 points off the bench but only one starter had double digits points for the Demon Deacons. Wake Forest has really struggled of late but I think this is a good spot for the team to bounce back here. Wake Forest is a strong 12-3 SU in home games this season whereas Clemson is just 4-6 SU in road games and will be playing its

This is a 5* play on the Philadelphia 76ers.

The Cleveland Cavaliers (20-30) finished up the first half of the NBA season with a 93-89 win at Detroit. Tristan Thompson had 25 points and 16 rebounds and Kyrie Irving had 23 points in the win. The Cavaliers have now won four games in row. The Philadelphia 76ers (15-39) is coming off a 100-105 loss at Utah. Evan Turner scored 21 points and Michael Carter-Williams and Thaddeus Young had 19 apiece for Philadelphia. While the Cavaliers are on their nicest streak since LeBron James skipped town I feel there will be a bit of a letdown here on the road Philadelphia. The Cavs are 0-2 ATS as the road favorite this season and just 9-18ATS in all road games where they have managed to win just 7 games this season. The 76ers have not played well we all know that but after the break and the start of the second half I think we see the 76ers show some life as it is a new beginning for a lot of these young players. The biggest factor here just might be the fact that Philly is 4-0 SU and ATS versus the Cavaliers the last three seasons. The Cavaliers have dropped their last five visits by an average of 14.8. After shooting 33.3 percent in a 94-79 loss in Philadelphia on Nov. 8, Cleveland totaled 238 points while hitting 44.1 percent from 3-point range in consecutive home wins in the series. Grab the points here.

This is an 8* play on James Madison.

UNC Wilmington (8-19) is coming off a 55-45 win over Northeastern. Craig Ponder scored 11 points and Dylan Sherwood added 10. UNC-Wilmington was 7 of 10 from the free-throw line over the final 1:07 to preserve the win. James Madison (9-17) is coming off a 65-81 loss at Delaware. Andre Nation scored 17 points and Yohanny Dalembert 15 for the Dukes (9-17, 4-8), who were playing their third game in five days and have lost four out of their last five. Dalembert had 13 rebounds for his first career double-double. James Madison had a tough go of it here after a recent tough spot in the schedule but I expect the team to bounce back her and get a nice win at home. The Dukes already beat UNC-Wilmington as the underdog on the road back in January and should have a bigger advantage here at home. The Seahawks have the worst record in the conference and are just 1-11 SU in road games this season. James Madison has won two if its

This is an 8* play on Clemson.

Virginia (20-5) is coming off a 61-53 win over Maryland at home. Joe Harris scored 19 points, 16 after halftime, and Virginia stretched its winning streak to eight games. Malcolm Brogdon added 14 points and Akil Mitchell had 13 for the Cavaliers. Clemson (15-8) is coming off a 64-68 loss at Notre Dame. Clemson lost back-to-back games for just the second time this season. K.J. McDaniels had a career 30 points and 14 rebounds in a losing cause. Clemson got crushed by 37 meetings the last time these teams met and don

This is an 8* play on Memphis.

Memphis (19-5) is coming off a 76-70 win at home over UCF. Joe Jackson scored 18 points and Shaq Goodwin added 14 as the Tigers used a second half rally to defeat Central Florida. Connecticut (19-5) is coming off a dominant 83-40 win at home over South Florida. The Huskies defense held the Bulls to just 12 baskets on 50 shots. DeAndre Daniels scored 12 points in just 23 minutes and freshman Kentan Facey added 10 points for the 24th-ranked Huskies. The Huskies had no problems with a weaker Central Florida team but will have all it can handle in more with this game against a very strong Memphis team. Memphis coach Josh Pastner has already set the tone by saying: "we just got to be better. We've got to play like UConn did coming in here. They played with their backs against the wall, and we've got to do the same thing going up there to Connecticut."Note Memphis is already 1-0 SU and ATS revenging a home loss to an opponent this season. Memphis is strong 4-2 SU and ATS on the road this season. Connecticut has been strong at home but is still just 1-3 SU as the underdog this season. The Huskies have lost their last two games ranked opponents and I expect a dogfight here. Grab the points as the Tigers have a really good shot at the outright win.

This is a 10* "DOUBLE REVENGE ATS SUPER BLOWOUT" on the Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Denver Nuggets (24-26) is coming off a 80-119 blowout loss at Indiana. The Nuggets also finished with a season-worst shooting percentage (31.5), far worse than their previous low mark (36.4) against the Clippers on Dec. 21. Only three players reached double figures -- Wilson Chandler with 17, J.J. Hickson with 12 and Jordan Hamilton with 11. The Minnesota Timberwolves (24-28) is coming off a 89-107 blowout loss to Houston on the road. Kevin Love led Minnesota with 31 points and 10 rebounds. Chase Budinger had 15 points as a fill-in starter and Alexey Shved scored 11 off the bench for the Timberwolves, who have lost four straight and six of seven. While the T

This is a 9* "MID-MAJOR MAULING" on Duquesne.

Richmond (15-8) is coming off a 54-52 win over St. Bonaventure at home. Kendall Anthony finished with 28 points to lead the Spiders, with Allen adding 14 and ShawnDre' Jones contributing 13. Richmond (15-8, 5-3 Atlantic 10) shot 39.6 percent from the floor (21 of 53) and was 7 of 17 from long range. Duquesne (10-12) is coming off a 68-74 loss to George Mason at home. Ovie Soko led the Dukes (10-12, 2-7) with 21 points, Micah Mason adding 16. The Dukes played a close game and eventually lost to the Patriots in their last game but I feel this is an excellent spot for the team to get back in the win column with Richmond in their gymnasium. The Dukes won the last time they hosted Richmond but have a lot of motivation here after losing by double digits points in a game at Richmond last season. Duquesne has lost three in a row but note two of those games where on the road versus quality squads. Duquesne will be playing its

This is a 7* "SUPER BLOWOUT" on Baylor.

Baylor (14-9) is coming off a 72-88 loss at Oklahoma. Isaiah Austin scored a season-high 21 points for Baylor (14-9, 2-8), which once again was competitive in a losing effort. The Bears, who spent the first three months of the season ranked in the Top 25 and cracked the Top 10, lost for the seventh time in eight games. TCU (9-13) is coming off a 69-89 loss at Iowa State. Kyan Anderson led the Horned Frogs with 27 points and eight assists. Amric Fields scored 18 points and Karviar Shepherd had 11 for TCU. The Bears have had a tough stretch of games here but this is a softer game their schedule and I expect a big win for the team starving for something good to happen. TCU is 0-10 in Big 12 play and has lost all those games in a row. Baylor blew out TCU back on January 11th and I don

This is a 10* "UNDERDOG SUPER ASSASSIN" on James Madison.

James Madison (9-16) is coming off a 59-53 win over Hofstra on the road. Ron Curry scored five points in the final two minutes and finished with 20 points and six assists to help James Madison get the win. Delaware (18-7) is coming off a 67-64 win over Charleston Devon Usher scored 42 points to keep Delaware in this game. While Delaware is on this nice winning streak I still think this is a few too many points for the squad to cover here. The last three meetings between these teams has had an average of 2.5 points differential at the end of day. James Madison will look to avenge a three point loss at home to Delaware in the last meeting. Delaware is just 3-4 ATS in home games this season and likely won

This is a 10* "BLOCKBUSTER" on the Phoenix Suns.

The Miami Heat (35-14) is coming off a 89-94 loss at Utah. Dwyane Wade had 19 points for the Heat, who missed their last four shots from the field to thwart their comeback bid. LeBron James was 4 of 13 from the field for 13 points. The Phoenix Suns (30-20) come off a 122-109 win at home over Golden State. Goran Dragic had 34 points, Gerald Green added 25 points and P.J. Tucker had 16 points and a career-best 15 rebounds for Phoenix. The Heat couldn

This is a 10* "SUPER BLOWOUT" on Michigan.

Michigan (17-6) is coming off a 85-67 loss at Iowa. Leading Wolverines scored Nik Staukas was held to just 10 points. Caris LeVert scored 22 points for the Wolverines, who have lost two of three after starting 8-0 in the Big Ten. Ohio State (19-5) is coming off a 67-49 win over Purdue. LaQuinton Ross led the way with 17 points for Ohio State. The Wolverines are coming off a pretty embarrassing effort in Iowa and I expect a bounce back from this team that has been excellent in conference play this season. Michigan is already 1-0 ATS this season after a loss to a conference rival. Ohio State is just 9-11 ATS as the favorite this season and lost the last game it was favoured 3.5-6 points this season. Note that in the last two meetings between these two teams, the average difference between the two teams final score has been 2.5 points. Each team has seven games remaining, four at home and three on the road. Each wants to make a big move. Neither can afford many more slips. I fully expect this game to close from start to finish and in games like this, you will happy you took the points. Take Michigan.

This is a 10* "SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION" on the Toronto Raptors.

The New Orleans Pelicans (22-28) is coming off a 81-93 loss at Brooklyn on Sunday night. Anthony Davis had 24 points and nine rebounds for the Pelicans, who had won seven of 10. They used big fourth-quarter comebacks to win their previous two games, but fell too far behind to come back in this one. The Toronto Raptors (26-24) comes off a 105-118 loss at the LA Clippers. DeMar DeRozan had 36 points and 8 assists in the loss. For the Raps it was it was a disappointing road trip where the team went just 2-3 and I expect that now is that the team is back at home you see it be highly motivated to get a big complete win at home here. The Pelicans had a nice a little stretch of ball but this is a tough spot for the team here in a back to back situation. The Raptors are a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS versus the Pelicans the last three seasons. The Raptors have largely been good at bouncing back at this season against poor performances, judging 7-4 SU and 8-3 ATS record in games after allowing 105 points or more in the previous game. New Orleans is just 9-15 SU in road games this season. Lay the points to get a motivated and rested Raptors team.

Florida State (14-9) is coming off a 71-83 loss at Maryland. Aaron Thomas had 17 points in a losing effort. Florida State was down 18 points at the half and were never really in this game. Its

This is a 9* "SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION" on Central Florida.


Connecticut (17-5) is coming off a 63-58 loss at Cincinnati. Shabazz Napier scored 16 points for the Huskies (17-5, 5-4) who were playing their highest-ranked opponent this season. Central Florida (9-11) is coming off a 78-79 loss at home to South Florida. Isaiah Sykes led UCF with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Matt Williams added 12 and Kasey Wilson had 11 for the Knights, who lost their sixth straight. While Central Florida is on a bit of tough streak, I feel this is an excellent opportunity for the team to step up and at least earn an ATS cover here. Connecticut is playing its

This is a 10* "ASSASSIN" on Loyola Chicago.

Illinois State (13-10) comes off a 76-65 home win over Northern Iowa. Bobby Hunter scored 17 points and grabbed three rebounds. Daishon Knight had 15 points and four rebounds for the Redbirds. Zach Lofton came off the bench to score 14 with five rebounds and three assists and Jamaal Samuel added 10 points in the win. Loyola Chicago (8-15) 63-54 loss at home to Bradley. Milton Doyle had 16 points and eight rebounds to lead the Ramblers. Devon Turk added 13 points. The Red Birds have the better overall and conference record compared to the Ramblers in this matchup but note Illinois State is just 3-6 SU and ATS in road games this year. Loyola (Il) is a healthy 7-4 in home games and have decent wins over Northern Iowa and Drake. The Red Birds meanwhile have lost two of its last three road games and has just one really good road win over Northwestern but that was way earlier in the season. Note that Loyola (IL) is 7-3 ATS when playing against a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS after scoring 60 points or less in the previous game. The Red Birds got the better of the Ramblers in a 59-60 game at Illinois State earlier this season and I expect this game to be revenge on Loyola
