I think the Celtics are in trouble here with Brown being out the rest of the season.  He is by far their second best player and is a great defender also.  The Wiz the last month have been a team you just back blindly and make money.  The are 15-5 SU their last 20 games.

I will take the Hornets here tonight.  I just think they have the overall better team and I know Hayward wont be playing tonight.  I really think Lamelo is the real deal and you will see that here.  Pacers have been covering lately but that has been in the dog role not the favorite.  

I really like the Warriors here tonight vs the Jazz.  The Warriors are battling for the playoffs here and with Mitchell out I think they get it done tonight.  The Jazz this game doesn't really mean much to them honestly.  Curry is on fire right now, the Warriors have won 4 of their last 5 to make a nice push here

Pretty simple here both teams played last night.  The Hawks blew out the Suns and the Pacers had an embarrassing game vs the Kings.  I will gladly take the points with the Pacers in a much better spot here tonight.

Let's add the Wizards here tonight.  This team is playing for their playoffs and we are seeing a massive surge for them the last few weeks.  They really wanna make it and almost upset the Bucks last night.  I think the hangover lies more with the Raptors coming back from the West coast 

I absolutely love the Nets here tonight.  This is a revenge game from Sunday and you better believe that the Nets will be out for it tonight.  Bucks shot 50% for the game and I don't think they do that again here.  I think the Nets really make a statement win here tonight

Late add

Give me the Nets here at this price.  I know Giannis is back in the lineup but this is Nets team is out to prove something and I think they do in a big way today.  Durant and Kyrie area force and with them losing to Portland I think they were looking ahead to this game here 

I will take the Warriors here coming off back to back losses here.  Rockets have so many injuries and with their recent win over the Bucks I think they coast here.  Warriors make a statement

I'm taking the Celtics here playing some of their best basketball as of late and are healthy as well.  They have won 5 of their last 6 games.  Portland just 2-4 SU their last 6 games.  Celtics match up very well with the Blazers.  

Is there anyone in the world not on the Clippers tonight even with Kawhi being out?  Im guessing probably not so therefore we are grabbing the Pacers.  Weird spot for the Clippers here being first road game in 3 weeks.  Pacers have won 4 of 5.  

I like the Warriors here tonight.  They have battled injuries all year long but with Curry and Green a go and them as a dog it catches my eye here.  Nuggets had their big winning streak snapped last night.  They have also had a favorable schedule during the 8 game stretch only. playing 1 road game.  Warriors are live here tonight.  Also Murray is highly questionable for the Nuggets 

I really like the Knicks here tonight.  Lakers couldn't be more overvalued as they upset the Nets last game as a double digit underdog and now will be getting quite a bit of love.  I think the Knicks put forth a good effort.  They are 15-9 ATS at home this season and have covered 5 straight games. 

I will take the Cavs here in this game.  I'm by any means a Sixers believer at all and they don't deserve to be favored here in this game.  This will also be their 3rd road game in 4 nights.  Mavs had two days off and came out sluggish last night vs the Spurs and lost by 2.  I think that motivates them here tonight with a big effort. 

Suns are a very good team no doubt about it, but I just hate the spot for them here tonight against the Clippers.  Suns won a big game last night vs the best team in the West last night in OT vs the Jazz.  On the surface this seems like a big number but I think given the situation it makes total sense and I have no problem laying it tonight. 

The whole world will be on the Bucks here in this game.  This is their 6th and final game of this road trip which they have already had 3 wins on.  They are also just 3-4 SU their last 7 games so no exactly playing good.  Mavs are hot right now 5-1 their last 6 and coming off an ugly loss last night to the Rockets I fully expect a major bounce back 

This is the match up we have all been waiting for.  While this Gonzaga team is extremely impressive I just dont think they have came across a unit that will get in their face like Baylor will.  The Bears have guards offensivley here as well that the Zags will have to play lock down defense and they haven't really had that battle yet.  I will be on the Bears ML as well here

I like the Suns here tonight to blow out the Thunder.  The Thunder are clearly extremely bad and playing a team like the SUn I see them struggling. Suns are 7-1 their last 8 games playing very well. The Thunder have some major injuries here and I don't see where they can play even more than 8 guys.  

I really like the Grizzlies here in this game tonight.  They are playing well going 4-2 SU their last 6 games.  Their only two losses were both by the hands of the Jazz.  They covered in one game and not in the other.  So this is the third time in 4 games they play each other and I really love this for Memphis here tonight. 

The Celtics have really fallen off here this season.  The Mavs are just a lot better all the way around.  Mavs are 3-2 Su their last 5.  Celtics are just 3-7 SU their last 10 games.  Borwn is out tonight for the Celtics as well. 

I trust odds makers here in this game making the Heat a small favorite.  They definitely haven't been playing well at all and yet are favored here?  I will take Miami here just based on that.  Pacers have beat the Heat both times this season so I think they get one here.

Taking the team with literally all the momentum in the world right now.  UCLA was in the play in game, yes the play in game vs Michigan St and are now here with a chance to go to the final 4.  Bruins have guards everywhere and several can give you 20.  Dickinson is going to have to play great in order for Michigan to win let alone cover.  I will take UCLA and all the points.

IMO here there is no choice but to take USC.  I think they will present a ton of matchup issues for the Zags here because of the zone they play but also the length they have.  This will be something very unfamiliar with Gonzaga. We all know how good they are yes and the line reflects that but USC has been nothing but impressive all tournament long.  I actually think they have a great chance for the outright win.

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  If you watched the whole Iowa Oregon game you saw a team that literally can run with anyone.  They have size and shooters across the board as well.  The reason is that Oregon had COVID issues throughout the season plus their best player Durarte was hurt for a while.  They are now finally healthy and look out for this team! USC might have the Mobley brothers but they dont have the guards to match up here

I'm not sure when the PAC 12 will get some love but regardless you're taking them here.  UCLA has weapons and length along shooters.  That is a deadly combo come tournament.  Also to mention Cronin running the show at coach.  Bama is good take nothing away but this teams are very similar so give me all the points. 

Little confused by Houston laying this number.  They really should have lost vs Rutgers last game with a crazy comeback in the final 2 minutes.  Cuse right now clearly looks under seeded from the standpoint because they didn't have sharp shooter Buddy who is clearly making an impact on both ends right now.  Cuse is live here for a nether win and I wouldn't put it past them. 

I like the Grizzlies here in this game.  I know the Jazz are great and everything but laying double digits here to another playoff team playing really good ball as well?  Grizz have won 3 straight and 4 of their last 5 games.  Jazz of back to back major blowouts which I think plays into the line.  Will take the Grizzlies and the points here

This line smells bad but have to take the Mavs here. We are getting a playoff team in the West here vs an average team in the East and TJ Warren one of their best players is out this game?  IMavs a re playing really well also going 8-3 their last 11.  

I will lay the short price here with the Nuggets in a great bounce back spot.  They just had an ugly ugly loss @ the Raports last game and I think tonight is a great spot for them.  Why? Well the Pelicans just beat the Nuggets @ Denver two games ago.  Nuggets shot 28% from deep which is not like them at all. Also given the fact they lost I think provides extra motivation here.  

These teams just played last night and the Clippers came out on top winning by 33.  The Spurs are a hard nosed team so losing in ugly fashion will fire them up tonight.  The Spurs are quietly a playoff team right now.  I just think the Spurs have too much pride here to get blown out again.

These teams just played and the Knicks came out on top.  I also look for the dog in the quick revenge situation.  The Knicks shot over 50% from the field and 53% from deep.  I think both of those will come down big time.  I like the Wizards to get it done tonight 

This is no surprise here that USC is favored here despite it being a 6 vs 3 game.  I think Kansas is over seeded and USC under seeded.  This USC team most haven't seen play but they have size with the Mobley brothers which will be a handful for KU.  I also don't think KU guard play is good enough to off set anything.  USC wins easily.

I am taking Colorado here on the ML.  I was just extremely impressed with how they played vs Georgetown and I think it's being over looked.  FSU only won by 10 despite shooting over 50% and UNCG shooting 32%.  FSU does have talent no doubt about it but I think Colorado is the real deal here.  

I know the Bruins are playing their 3rd game here but this team really passes the eye test and this is too short of number to pass up on.  The Bruins have guards everywhere and can flat out shoot the ball.  I give ACU credit for an impressive win no doubt but give me the hot hands of the Bruins right now.  

I know the PAC 12 is on fire right now and it's hard to go against them but I think Iowa is being under looked here.  This is also quite a trendy upset most people are having and I just think Oregon will struggle to defend Garza down low.  Iowa wins by double digits.  

North Texas really controlled the game vs Purdue.  They were hit several times with some runs but managed to hold them off and I was very impressed by that.  I think this team is playing with a ton of confidence and Nova may have covered RD 1 vs Winthrop but I think they are seeing a different animal tonight. 

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  I really like the Razorbacks here in this game.  This team isn't getting enough credit and I love how they were tested in their first game and once it came together they blew out Colgate.  Tech is the darling pick and I think its a good fade 

I'm taking Cute here in this game.  I think they showed a lot in game 1 against SDSU and just literally smoked them.  It was one of the most impressive wins fro mRD 1 IMO.  I think the matchup and style of play favors Cuse as well.  

I think this is a horrible match up for Wisky here.  I also think they won't shoot 50% again from 3 like they ddi against UNC.  Baylor has tremendous size and big time athletes across the board.  Wisky needs this game in the 50's and I don't see it.  Baylor rolls 

I really like USC here against Drake.  Drake was just horrible on offense vs a bad Shockers team and the length of USC will be a problem.  I also think the PAC 12 is underrated in this tournament the Mobley brothers will be a problem for Drake.  

I'm going to take the Bonnies here in this game.  The betting public will be all over LSU for the fact they come from the SEC and also they made it to the SEC title game and lost to Bama but gave them a great game losing by 1.  The Bonnies are a veteran group playing well right now and can really defend which I think will cause problems for LSU 

I love Colorado here laying a short number vs Georgetown.  The Hoyas are getting all sorts of love now that they ran the table and won the Big East.  Lets not forget that this G Town team was 4th from last in the league. This Colorado team was 3rd in the PAC 12 and nearly won the conference and the conference tournament.  I think the route is on here for Colorado 

I think we have seen this story before where everyone complains about Cuse being in the tournament and then they go win a game or two.  I think this should be a PK honestly and SDSU is living off their name from last season.  Cuse is a dangerous team, Aztecs traveling clear across country something they clearly aren't use to. 

This Rutgers team really underachieved this season but boy do they have firepower here.  They have a legit pro in Ron Harper and a good guard in Baker to go along side him.  Clemson here just played well against some bad teams.  Mind you this Clemson team lost by 26 to Duke.  They started off the season so hot beating legit teams but teams adjusted and their true colors showed give me Rutgers. 

Im surprised this isn't higher actually.  UNC has underachieved IMO this season but you can't ignore their talent here and vs a team like Wisky it's a large large gap.  I think the style of the Badgers player here is going to hurt them big time against this long team as you want to get out and run against them when you're smaller.  UNC is one to look out for.  Wisky just 2-6 SU their last 8 games. 

This Liberty team is no joke and I think Oklahoma St is now a public darling team with their stud freshman.  The thing is for me though that Libery has been battle tested here.  They have beat power 5 teams like South Carolina and Miss St.  Played teams tough in losses like Purdue and Missouri.  They won't be scared here of this game.  I think this has potential upset on it

This Oral Roberts team is battle tested big time.  While they didn't win any of the games they played @ Mizzou, @ Oklahoma St, @ OU, @ Wichita St, @ Arkansas.  This Ohio St team wont scare them one bit.  Ohio St is a team that doesn't really have that go to guy.  Oral Roberts shoots the ball very well from deep @39%.  I think they keep it close for comfort here 

I will take Texas Tech here as I simply trust Beard to get the job done.  They have the guard play here lead by Mclung who is a guy you look for come tournament time to ride deep into the tournament.  The talent is there for Tech no doubt about it.  I think he Mountain West was very down this season and the Aggies have a good record but competition is a big step up here for them

I really dont understand this line here.  I mean Arkansas is a very good team playing very good right now.  They lost there SEC title game to snap their 9 game winning streak all the way back to Feb 2nd.  The talent gap is huge here and Colgate played one of the weakest schedules you could have asked for in the country.  Arkansas shouldn't have any issues here.

I'm a big fan of this Va Tech team here in this match up.  This team was ranked in the top 25 for most of the season and starters out 12-3 and really caught people by surprise.  I think they are very underrated here in this game.  Florida I just think has a name quite honestly here.  The are 1-3 their last 4 with that win being a single digit victory over pathetic Vandy.  I think Va Tech wins this easily.

I love Florida St here tonight.  This team has played now a coupler games and honestly Georgia Tech doesn't even deserve to be here with Virginia having a positive case last week.  The Yellow Jackers wouldn't even have been here if it were for that.  This Florida St team is long and nasty and have layers everywhere. I love them tonight 

I really like Texas here intros game tonight.  Everyone will fall in love with Oklahoma St here beating Baylor and also Cade Cunningham.  They deserve some credit no doubt but Texas a loaded team as well and a team that can make a deep run into the tournament.  I think they win easily tonight 

This two teams dont like each other at all here.  I think we are getting a great price here on Iowa. They matchup very well with them.  I also think people will look at Illinois beating Iowa already and blowing out Rutgers yesterday they will jump on them.  Iowa I think wins this game

Late add

I know Weiskamp is out for Iowa and don't get me wrong it is a huge loss but Iowa is a very deep team.  They have won 7 of their last 8 games and are trending in the right direction.  Wisky has no answer for Garza down low either.  

I definitely want no part of G Town here.  They are coming off a huge upset yesterday over Nova but Nova had that huge injury which has clearly affected their team.  So I'm not putting much stock into it and I think Seton Hall is a dangerous team and shouldn't have an issue here.

I like the Vols here in this game.  Florida is just being one valued here for a team that was barely above 500 in the SEC.  Tenn had a hot start to the season but soon cooled off but I think they match up well against them and get the job done.

Purdue won both meetings this season and quite frankly I like the makeup better of their team.  Purdue is playing extremely well right now winning 5 straight and 6 of their last 7 games.  Ohio St on the other hand is limping into this tournament with 4 straight losses.  Painter is the better coach here and I trust the Boilermakers to get it done.

Texas Tech is one of my sleepers team come tournament time this season.  I think they have all the makeup to make a deep run like we saw couple years ago.  They also have the coach to do it as well.  Texas on the other hand is talented but I just think it's a bad matchup for them as they are 0-2 against them this season.  Texas lost to them despite shooting over 50% for the game

I will take UNC again here tonight.  I just love the make up of this team and yes they vastly underachieved this season but I think we are seeing them click at the right time.  That was beyond impressive last night what they did to Notre Dame.  UNC rolls again here

I will lay it with Virginia here.  I know Virginia was favored by 5 at home so you could say we are paying a premium here but they are just so much better.  They destroyed them in the first meeting.  Cuse had a nice win yesterday but I just think this is a cheap price for a team of this caliber 

I'm more just putting my trust in Coach Cal here today with this game.  Kentucky is playing a lot better right now going 4-2 their last 6 with both losses being by single digits.  I wouldn't be suprsised at all if they made a little run here.  I think this is a cheap price.  

Let's take Sparty here in this game.  Michigan St finished the season well going 5-2 their last 7 with some big wins like Michigan, Illinois and Ohio St to get into the tournament.  They also suffered a nasty lost during that time to Maryland.  Spraty shot 33% from the field for that game which we know wont happen again.  Sparty wins this game and they really need it.

I like West Virginia here.  I really love this angle during this time of year.  WVU just lost to Oklahoma St and were 10 point favorites in that game.  We are getting a major discount here fro a neutral court game.  The Cowboys shot nearly 58% from the field for the game and WVU was horrible all the way around.

I will lay it with UNC.  I'm actually pretty high on this team going forward as they create matchup issues with their length.  Notre Dame made a crazy comeback vs Wake as they were down double digits most of the game then hit a buzzer beater.  UNC is a sleeper

All the injuries here for the Gophers I believe have taken their tole.  This team has lost 6 straight and they clearly have quit on the season.  While NW isn't very good they clearly haven't as they enter winning 3 straight.  NW wins this easily.

Duke beat down a horrible Boston College team yesterday and are now laying points against Louisville?  Nah I want nothing to do with them here.  They were very hot shooting yesterday and but have been inconsistent all season long.  Wrong team favored here

Butler @ Xavier were 12 point dogs and lost by 12.  I think Butler is just a bad basketball team here and especially on the road as they have a 1-10 record.  I want nothing to do with them.  Xavier has handed them both times by double digits and see no reason they won't gain today

Oregon St is quietly one of the better teams that no one is talking about at all.  They in fact already beat Oregon @ Oregon earlier this season.  They have covered 7 straight games and aren't getting the respect they deserve. 

I will take TCU here in this rivalry game.  TCU will be hungry here to end the season on a positive note.  I think we get a big effort here from the Horned Frogs.  Big let down spot here for Texas coming off a huge win on the road @ Oklahoma 

I will lay it with Maryland here.  They are coming off an ugly ugly loss @ Northwestern and already lost to Penn St so a nice revenge game here.  Penn St coming off their best performance of the season as well I think setting up for a let down.

I will take Tech here in this game.  Baylor isn't playing the greatest right now and quite frankly this one really means nothing to them today. They have only covered once in the last 6 games.  Tech is 6-3 their last 9 and they match up well with Baylor

Iowa is starting to play their best ball of the season right now.  I think they win going away here against a Badger team that is trending in the wrong direction.  Iowa won by 15 @ Wisconsin and they really dont have an answer for anyone down low.  That was also without CJ who means a ton to this Iowa team.

UNC should be favored by more here.  They handled Duke the first time around I gully expect it this time also.  UNC really needs this win as they are a semi bubble team.  UNC should just own them down low. Duke now knows its fate and even though it's a rivalry I think UNC wins easily 

Big time game here for Ohio St. Illinois is off the biggest win of the season over Michigan in a blowout actually.  I think that is setting up for a big let down.  Ohio St has lost 3 straight but have also had a week off here and I think the bounce back. 

I will taker the Bruins here on the ML.  UCLA was just embarrassed in the first meeting and I think this is a great spot here for them.  USC is just 2-3 SU their last 5.  UCLA off back to back losses but both of those were on the road. 

I think the wrong team is favored here in this game.  Louisville is 9-1 SU at home this season.  Virginia is just 2-6-1 ATS their last 9.  Virginia just barely beat them the first time around and were favored by the same number.  I think with that Louisville should be favored here 

Missouri has really struggled here toward the end of the season after a crazy hot start. LSU on the other hand is playing well.  I just dont trust LSU on the road who is just 3-7 ATS.  Missouri coming off a nice road win @ Florida I think sparks them 

I love Providence here.  Nova is missing their best player with an injury and I think it's a lot bigger blow than what odds makers are thinking especially given when this injury took place this part of the season.  Providence is on the outside looking in but a win here would be huge 

Too many here for Purdue to be laying in this rivalry game.  Indiana was just horrible in the first matchup only hitting 3 threes for the game.  Hoosiers know this is a big chance for a late statement win and I believe they put forth a big effort.

Way too much love for the Suns tonight. Yes, this team is on fire and give them credit but now laying this many?  How many people saw this coming?  Suns were only favored by 4.5 the previous meeting in Phoenix.  I think the Warriors are prime here for a good game.

I wil take the Sooners here tonight who have lost 3 straight games and a back to back with their rivals Oklahoma St. This is a great spot for them to bounce back against another rival.  Texas is a team I don't trust on the road.  

I want no part of Bucks here on the road.  This team its just 6-10 ATS and are being way over valued here as they are 4-1 their last 5 but all 4 were at home.  Grizzlies are 3-1 their last 4 with a couple nice road wins.  Teams have really figured out the Bucks and this is too many to be laying 

I like the Pacers here in this game tonight.  Nuggets on a 4th road game here in 6 days and being over valued with all 3 wins so far.  Seems like a great let down spot in this game.  

I know Iowa St is bad, but this is so many for Tech to be laying especially for a team that doesn't exactly light up the scoreboard on offense. Tech has a huge look ahead here with Baylor on deck.  

I will bite here and take Purdue.  They should be favored by more here which is why it smells funny. Badgers aren't trending in the right direction just 2-4 their last 6.  Purdue has won 4 of their last 5.  

I will take Georgia Tech here.  They have covered 5 straight games and won 4 straight here clearly playing their best ball of the season.  Duke finally lost for the first time without Johnson and I think now that is a blow to the team as they are on the outside looking in for the the Tournament now.   Duke only won by 7 first time around despite shooting 18 more free throws than Tech 

Tech laying 13 is just too many here in this game.  Tech finally snapped their 3 game losing streak beating rival Texas but their recent forum doesn't suggest they should be laying anywhere near this many.  

I will take West Virginia here. as they are hot winning 6 of their last 7 games playing very well.  Baylor on the other hand isn't I great form losing to Kansas and barely beating a bad Iowa St team.  

I like Iowa here today.  I think the Hawks are in a great bounce back spot after that loss to Michigan.  Iowa also blew a game vs Ohio St not to long ago as they were up double digits and went cold down the stretch.  I think we see them rise up and make a statement road win.

I'm taking Maryland here.  Sparty is riding high right now with a couple big wins but the spot here isn't ideal for them.  Terps have won 4 straight themselves.  I think classic let down here for Sparty off Illinois and Ohio St wins.  

I will gladly take all the points here with KU.  I think they aren't getting enough respect for being home here in this game.  KU coming off a tough loss @ Texas.  Baylor still only won by single digits in the first meeting despite shooting over 53% for the game.  KU is 11-1 at home this season

Well the Gophers seem to have quit on the season with a horrible performance last game vs Northwestern.  They have now lost 4 straight games and they key is that Minnesota hasn't won a road game all season long.  Nebraska has covered 4 of their last 7 and even took Illinois down to the wire losing in OT

I think Iowa St get their first conference win here today.  This team still does play hard despite being horrible.  They should have won at Baylor and blew a big double digit lead.  They also should have won at TCU.
