The Beavers sure aren't a flashy team here, but they play well at home with a 7-1 record.  This is just a classic sandwich spot here for Utah who is coming off a huge win @ Oregon as a 9.5 point underdog and now have Arizona coming to their place next game.  Beavers get the win

Let's take the 10.5 here with the Nets.  They really let one slip away on their home court back in November and are now catching the Celtics at the right now.  The Celtics are coming off a huge comeback win over the Rockets last game and now have the Cavs on deck.  This is a tough tough spot that the Celtics probably just go through the motions 

Love Portland here tonight wanting revenge against the Sixers after getting embarrassed at Philly earlier in the season.  The Sixers are still getting a lot of respect because of how much they have improved.  Well, they have only won 2 games SU their last 11 games.  Portland has struggled some also but return their best player in Lillard tonight

This game is all about the spot for me.  The T Wolves are on a winning streak, but there is still something missing with them and now they are without PG Teague tonight.  The T Wolves also played in OT last night and I always look to fade team traveling coming off an OT win

Odds makers are making a statement here having Houston favored on the road against the Celtics.  Houston has lost 3 straight games while the Celtics just won last night on the road.  I think this Celtics team is tired and they gave up a big lead last night but just held on.  The Rockets have had 2 days off now and will be eager to play here.  Paul is also questionable to return as well

So we have two teams with similar records, but when looking closer at it one team is very much better and that is UNI.  UNI has 4 losses but those have came to North Carolina, Xavier, Iowa St and Villanova.  Doesn't get much better than that.  They were also competitive in 3 of those 4 games.  Southern Illinois has played an easy schedule and they have some bad losses like SE Missouri St

I dont think this line is taking the injuries into play at all here.  The Magic were just 9 point dogs @ Detroit and lost by 4, mind you they still had Reggie Jackson who makes that team go.  This hasn't been adjusted nearly enough and also the Magic might be getting some key players back as well.  This line will drop throughout day

The Grizzlies are in a tough spot here coming off a heart breaking loss last night to the Suns.  The Lakers are without Ball and coming off a blowout loss, but this Grizzlies team is nothing special by any means.  Ingram should be back in the lineup here as well tonight

I was against the Jazz last night in a easy winner, but will look to back them here tonight.  The Warriors are coming off a huge win over the Cavs on Christmas and likely won't be that interested here in this spot.  The Jazz do play a slow grind out style of play and will likely keep it close here.  

There is no doubt this Xavier team is solid and are well coached, but Marquette is better than what the average person thinks here.  Wojo will have his guys ready here tonight to pull of the big upset.  It's also worth noting that this isn't the greatest spot for Xavier either having Nova on deck 

I think this is a pretty good spot here to back the Nets.  They lost by 12 last night @ Spurs failing to cover by half a point.  I also think the Pelicans come out flat here after have a few days off over the Holidays knowing they are playing the Nets.  Nets don't deserve to be double digit dogs here

This is simply the ultimate let down spot here for the Wizards as they clearly wanted that Christmas day game against the Celtics and did come away with a win.  The Hawks have been playing better as of late covering 4 of their last 5 games.  

I will get on board with the Pacers here tonight as they were beat down against division rival Detroit last night.  This is a great bounce back spot against a 2-14 road team.  The Mavs are coming off a thrilling victory last night over the Raptors and are in a huge letdown spot here

Love the Nuggets here tonight on their home court where they are 11-3 on the season.  They should be playing with some added confidence here after beating the Warriors @ Golden St.  There is no doubt the Nuggets will be giving a max effort considering they have been handled by the Jazz both times this year 

The Pacers just lost a few days ago on their home court against these Pistons.  I just think Indiana is the better team here and will get the revenge tonight.  The Pistons will be without Bradley here tonight.  I also think the Pistons have been pretty fortunate here as of late because they have been winning some close games despite shooting terrible from the field.  That will catch up to you in the long run

I will be a sucker here and take Tortonto who is just flat out much better than the Mavs.  This Raptors team is rolling right now winning 6 straight and the Mavs are terrible losing 8 of their last 10 games.  I know the Raptors have a big look ahead tomorrow night vs Thunder, but they should still handle the Mavs here

Love the Thunder here tonight as the seem to have figured things out recently winning 6 of their last 7 games.  The Rockets on the other hand have been slipping here as of late.  They have also benefited from a very favorable home schedule as this will only be their 4th road game dating back to November 18.  I think the Thunder win this game outright with Paul being out 

This is the first meeting of the season between the Warriors and Cavs.  I think we see a Warriors team that plays with a chip on their shoulder here to prove they are still the team to beat.  The Warriors still have enough fire with Durant Klay and Draymond here to contain he Cavs even without Curry.  

Odds makers haven't adjusted enough here for the Suns.  The Suns were just 12 point dogs at Minnesota and won so being on their home court now the line only moved 4?  I know the T Wolves will want revenge, but the Suns have been playing well as of late winning 5 of their last 7 games

Thunder getting to much love here because they have won 4 of their last 5 games.  They barely survived a bad Atlanta team last night and now on a back to back against a Jazz team that just beat the Spurs short handed at home.  Mitchell returns to the lineup here for Utah as well.  The Thunder have been awful on the road going 4-12 ATS.

Let's go back to the Pelicans here again tonight.  They should have no problem blowing the Heat out here who simply won't have an answer for Davis or Boogie underneath will all the injuries they have.  

The Bulls have been on fire and covering machines.  I have backed them a lot during this run, but I think it ends here today.  The Celtics haven't been playing great themselves and this is a rare time the betting public won't be on them given recent results.  Celtics win easy

The Mavs shouldn't be favored here as they are the worst road team in the league only having 2 road wins. The Hawks played well last night @ the Thunder and almost stole one 

This might seem like a big number, but for those who havent watched this Nevada team play they are the real deal.  Their only two losses came too two big 12 teams and both of those came down to the final minute of the game.  Southern Illinois has only played Louisville and they lost by 40.  This game gets ugly fast

Both teams here have lost 2 straight games.  I just think the value lies here with Portland even though Lillard is declared out for tonight's game.  The Nuggets have just been brutal on the road with a 5-12 SU record.  Nuggets still without Milsap and Harris and Mudiay are both questionable 

Really surprised to see some Texas money coming in here.  The Longhorns don't have as much talent in my eyes as Bama does and it's been a while since you could say that.  Sexton the true freshman from Bama is a monster and I dont think Texas can slow him down.  Also worth noting is that this neutral court game is still being played in Bama 

I will bite here as this line makes no sense to me.  In both meetings between the two the home home has won and covered both.  The Hornets are playing very bad right now just 2-7 SU their last 9 games.  The Bucks are coming off a big win over the Cavs, but have now had two days off from that game which helps.  The Bucks are also a home team as they are 10-5 SU while the Hornets are 2-11 on the road

The line simply tells the story here.  The Pelicans haven't been playing great and are fairly big road favorites.  Well, that is because the Magic are not only playing worse losing 6 straight but are very banged up and will be missing 3 starters tonight 

Seems like a lot of love right now for Oklahoma.  A lot of that is because of their stud freshman in Young who is lighting it up right now.  Laying nearly double digits here seems like a big overreaction here.  Yes, Northwestern has underachieved, but you better believe they will bring their A game here tonight 

There is no doubt this will be a public play, but I think the Spurs at this price is so hard to pass up on.  They return Leonard and Parker to the lineup tonight.  The Spurs have won 3 straight while the Jazz are really struggling just winning one game in their last 8 

Let's take a shot with the Sixers to respond here against a Raptors team is playing their 2nd of a back to back here.  Sixers have been struggling lately, but they have been competitive as 3 losses in a row combined to just 10 points.  2 of those games were by 2 points.  

Both teams have had plenty of rest here coming into tonight's game.  I think the Lakers will want some revenge after losing a close one last time out.  The Warriors are without Curry and Green here.  Also out is Zaza and Livingston.  Lakers are playing much better right now and so is Ball wouldn't be surprised to see them win this one

This seems like a very good discount here on the Thunder.  They were -2 earlier this season @ Denver which suggests they should be -8 here at home.  I like the Thunder to get revenge here and bounce back after they were in a tough spot against the Knicks last game out

Let's take a look at the Bulls here who have been going under the radar.  I actually think they should be favored here in this spot coming off 5 straight wins and also given the fact that the Sixers superstar in Embiid is out tonight.  Bulls are playing with some confidence right now lets take them here

The Hornets have lost back to back heart breakers at home and I think they respond here with a big effort.  It look likes Zingis and Hardaway are out for tonight.  Also the Knicks are in a tough spot here coming off a big win against the Thunder

I will take my chances with the Pacers here.  They are still playing good ball going 5-2 SU their last 7 games.  They are also 10-6 at home on the year.  They will want revenge here from an earlier loss this season at home.   Celtics will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights with travel every day

I have been against this Oregon team several times this season as they lost so much from last years great team.  This will also be their first true road game and Fresno St will be up for the challenge 

I'm not sold on Clemson at all and their record as they really haven't been challenged yet this season.  We are getting a good price on Florida because of this game being on a neutral court

This UCLA team still has a lot of talent on it.  I think this will be a tough spot for Cincy coming off a big win over Florida and now travel across country.  UCLA let one slip away blowing a lead and losing in OT @ Michigan.  The distractions are gone from UCLA now I think they win SU

Its safe to say Northwestern has underachieved this season, but they just have too much talen here compared to DePaul who isn't a very good team.  DePaul has been beating up on some pretty bad teams as of late that has them over valued 

I think the time is right now to buy on this Kentucky team.  Sure, they haven't looked great so far, but they have enough games under their belt now and have had some time off to get things squared away.  Va Tech has benefited from a easy schedule 

So Leonard is back for the Spurs, but they still lost to the Mavs.  I think it will take some while for them to gel.  Now they are playing the best team in basketball right now and the Rockets will want to make a statement no doubt about it.  I don't think the Spurs can hold them in check 

The Bulls have covered 5 straight and are playing their best basketball of the season.  Now this is a division rival here and I think they will be up for the challenge.  The Bucks are in a classic look ahead spot here with the Rockets on deck tomorrow

I think it will be hard here for the Pacers to get up for this game coming off that emotional game vs the Thunder where the trade happened this off season.  The Pistons got the monkey off their back last night granted against the Hawks, but still you have to start somewhere.  I look for the Pistons to win this game outright

I think this game will be closer than most people think.  I know the Cavs will want to put it to them here, but this young Lakers team can keep it within double digits.  The Cavs have had a very easy schedule here of late as well.  They are still dealing with some injuries and I don't trust the Cavs on defense at all

The Suns played a tough game last night and yes that back to back is in this line here fo sure.  The Raptors are also in a tough spot here playing their 4th straight road game in 6 Days.  I don’t see them blowing the Suns out here in a game they don’t care about

I like thenPelicans to get the job done here tonight.  I know the Bucks have been playing better as of late but those games were at home.  I still think this team underachieves and the matchup favors the Pelicans 

Yes the Thunder have been struggling but the return of George coming home and now all the media coverage that is happening with OKC the betting public doesn’t want a part of.  I think we get a monster effort here tonight from them

Really like the Longhorns here tonight facing a Michigan team that I believe will be bottom 5 in the Big Ten when it's all said and done.  They lost @ Ohio St by 9 who is not a tournament team this year.  They also lost to the worst SEC school on a neutral court in LSU.  Texas is a tournament team and I was impressed with a hard fought road win over VCU last game.  Texas has 2 losses to Duke and Gonzaga, nothing to hang your about there.

Miss St might be undefeated but they have played absolutely no one and this will be their first game on the road.  I also think the fact the Cincy is coming off 2 hard fought losses you can expect a big effort here.  

So Columbia only has one win on the season, but they have dropped several close games.  They have also faced a handful of teams better than Boston College.  Throw that in with the fact that this spot couldn't be any worse for BC coming off a huge upset win over #1 ranked Duke where they stormed the court.   This seems like a classic let down spot here

Going with Nevada here as this team should be undefeated with their only loss being last time out against Texas Tech in OT.  TCU is undefeated, but looking at their schedule this will by far be their toughest test.  

Like the Spurs here on their home court tonight against Boston.  The Spurs have been a different team the last 2 weeks from the start of the season.  I think we see San Antonio get the revenge here and a easy cover

The Pistons have easily been one of he biggest surprises so far this NBA season.  I think they could pull the upset here tonight of the Warriors as they defend their home court very well with a 8-2 record.  The Warriors are on their final stretch here of this long road trip.  Curry being out and Green being questionable I think we get a max effort here from Detroit and maybe a win

Let's take TCU here at home against SMU who is coming off a huge blowout win over USC.  I'm not sure how good this SMU team actually is as they lost a ton from last year.  I think the fact they did to that against USC has them over valued.  TCU does return key pieces from a NIT Championship team.  

I have backed Nevada several times this season and they are a perfect 8-0 on the season and 7-0 ATS.  Nevada has a bunch of transfers that were power 5 conference players so they wont be backing down here against Texas Tech

This really stood out to me as too many points here.  SDSU has played some pretty good competition this season beating Iowa and Ole Miss both away from home.  They also were tested at Kansas.  I just think with the Shockers coming off a huge win over Baylor and @ Oklahoma St on deck I think this is a let down spot for them 

I know VCU is on their home court but the talent gap here is just too big.  VCU is also down this season as every biggee named team they have played they have lost.  That includes Marquette and Michigan Not exactly the level of Texas.  I think Shaka knows the level of importance here for this returning to the school that put him in this stage.

Love West Virginia here tonight hosting Virginia who I think the betting public will be all over since they are the higher ranked team getting points.

West Virginia only loss was to Texas AM who is undefeated right now and that game was played across the pond so you can't really fault them for that.  

The style of play here plays a huge advantage for West Virginia playing at home as they will constantly put pressure on Virginia and make them play at a pace they dont like

The Jazz aren't getting enough respect considering that the Wizards are still without Wall.  The Jazz have quietly won 5 straight games and 6 of 7.  Gorbert is going to be back tonight as well which is a huge upgrade. 

The T Wolves are simply just way better than than the very banged up Grizzlies.  They haven't won a game since Conley went down and there is no reason to think things will turn around any time soon after them firing their coach.  

Let's take the Nets here tonight as they are in the classic home and home game here against the Hawks.  The Hawks just beat them on the Nets home court and more times than not the visiting team will win again.  

This is just crazy to me that the Sixers are laying double digits right now.  I doubt they have any interest in this game at all.  While the Suns may be tired I still think they give a good effort here trying to get a win late to wrap up their road trip.  

Was I ever impressed with the Buckeyes win over Wisconsin to open up big ten play.  I think Ohio St is just better than Michigan and not reading a lot of stock into Michigan beating Indiana who I think will be near the bottom of the Big 10 this season 

I'm not sure why UNLV is favored here but I was very impressed with UNI and what they did in the Bahamas tournament  beating SMU and and NC St and losing to Nova in the championship game.  UNLV has been hot rolling teams but in their first true road test against a different style I think the Panthers get it done

Wrong team is favored here in this game.  The Miami Heat played last night in a losing effort against the Cavs now travel to the Knicks. 

 I think the Knicks are in a good bounce back spot here after laying an egg against Portland last time out.  The Knicks have played very well at home with a 10-3 ATS record this season. 

I dont believe Penn St should be favored here in this spot.  Yes, they are a good team and have a lot of young talent.  They played one hard team and that was Texas A&M who is very good but they couldn't handle that.  NC St beat Zona and yes, Zona looks down but still they were 13 point underdogs. 

I think we are getting a pissed of Thunder team at a discount because of their road struggles.  They should be more than motivated to take it out on a Magic team that clearly isn't the same from how they started their season.  The Thunder have also 3 days off here which is a big advantage

I'm not looking much into the Wizards beating the T Wolves last night without Wall.  The T Wolves has yet to figure anything out this season as far as I am concerned.  I also think we get a nice bounce back performance from the Sixers after getting beat easily by the Cavs

Iowa hasn't been up to par so far this season.  They have looked pretty sluggish on defense thus far and lost to some sub par competition.  A big thing though here is that Nick Baer returns for them tonight and he is the do everything type of player than really rallies this young team.  This just seems like a ton of points here

Let's take the Bulls here as I think they will be eager for a win.  They know they can beat the Suns who really aren't much better than they are.  These two teams have already faced one another with the Suns beating them.  I think the Bulls get their revenge here as Booker is still a big question mark to play tonight 

I'm banking on Northwestern coming out of their so called little funk.  They lost to Creighton at home, but that actually doesn't look that bad as Creighton is a very good team especially at the guard position this year.  NW did just get blown out by Texas Tech and I'm going to give them a pass here for that as they shot 26% from the field.  I'm not sure how good this Tech team actually is.  Most people had Tech around the bottom 5 of the ACC while NW near top 5 of Big Ten so at a PK I think this is great value 

Like Virginia here facing a Wisconsin team that to no surprise is struggling.  Wisconsin only has one starter back from last years team.  At first glance you most will look and say wow Wisconsin getting this many points.  But, Virginia is a team that really passes the eye test right now as their smallest margin of victory was 9.  

Have to take Duke here in the title game tonight against Florida.  This Duke team is just loaded with talent up and down their roster.  I really think this line will climb throughout the day so grab it now.  Florida is getting a lot of respect because they have covered against Stanford and Gonzaga. Duke is a whole different animal here take the Blue Devils
