Nebraska +3.5 v. Minnesota | | 91-85 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 48 m | Show |
Nebraska has been overlooked for two months by the books and the public. Minnesota should not be favored by this many points against Nebraska even at home. Since the Cornhuskers were wiped out by Michigan St on Dec 2nd they have gone 11-5 straight up and 13-1 ATS. Their only losses were @Creighton, home to Kansas and at Purdue, Penn St and Ohio St. Minnesota has lost 8 of their last 9 and in danger of not getting invited to any postseason tournament. Take The Points and Nebraska. |

There are bad matchups and then there are very bad matchups. This is a very bad matchup. Houston's offense is one of the two best in the league and it's hard for anyone to slow them down. While Brooklyn's defense is dreadful and has been all season. This game is going to get ugly quick and Houston will cruise to a big win. Lay The Points and Take Houston. |

Michigan -1.5 v. Northwestern | | 52-61 |
Loss | -105 | 19 h 37 m | Show |
Northwestern has been playing well of late winning 3 of their last 4 games. The Wildcats haven't had a very good home court advantage in conference play thus far going 2-2 at home losing to Ohio St and Nebraska. I like Michigan in this spot mainly because of the toughness they have received from their difficult schedule away from home this season. The Wolverines are 2-2 on the road this season in conference play counting a win at Michigan St among those. They have also played Purdue tough on the road losing by 4 and beat a very nice Texas team on the road. Michigan will continue their march to a top 4 seed in the Big Ten tournament with a win and cover. Take Michigan. |

I love the value we are getting here with Kentucky playing at home where they are 13-1 this season at Rupp Arena, one of the toughest venues to win at in CBB. Tenessee is a very good team and looks like they are a Sweet Sixteen team I just think Calipari will have his young Cats ready to go in a game they desperately need to climb in the SEC standings.

The Pacers are a very good team at home. They have won 6 straight games at home and 8 of their last 9. With the confidence, this team has, their insane crowd backing them and how important this game in the standings I don't see how Washington can win this without John Wall. Lay The Points and Take Indiana Monday Night. |

You have two pretty bad teams here and I'm not sure why the books think Fairfield is this many points better than a Siena team that plays very good defense and has held 12 of their last 14 opponents to 72 points or less. I look for a tight game that Siena scores the cover. Take The Points and Siena. |

I like the Knicks in this spot for a couple reasons. The Bucks are playing in the second game of a back to back after losing to Minnesota Thursday night. To make matters worse Giannis Antetokounmpo and Malcolm Brodgen were both injured in the game. The Knicks are relatively healthy and have had a day off to stew after getting blown out at Boston. The Knicks will get the cover and the straight up win Friday Night. |

Loyola-Chicago -1.5 v. Bradley | | 67-69 |

Missouri Valley Conferences top two teams square off as first place Loyola Chicago travels to Bradley. Bradley is an average team with not many scorers that scare you and they aren't particularly good at shooting 3's or even free throws for that matter. Loyola is clearly is the best team in the conference. They have been on an absolute tear of late winning their last 7 SU and ATS including a 16 points thrashing of Bradley two weeks ago. Loyola has shooters all over the court and shoots over 40% from 3 as a team. Loyola Chicago gets the win, cover and season sweep. Lay The Points and Take Loyola Chicago Wednesday Night. |

76ers -7 v. Nets | | 108-116 |

This is a fantastic spot for the 76ers to get back on the winning track. After winning 10 of 13 they lost both games of a back to back on the road (The first against red-hot OKC and the second game without Joel Embiid) Philadelphia not only has the motivation of ending the 2 game slide they also are playing against a lot of their former teammates who they desperately want to beat. Another 2 strikes against Brooklyn is they are playing in the second game of their own back to back after losing to the Knicks Tuesday night and they are without their best player Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who will miss the game with a groin injury. Lay The Points and Take Philadelphia. |

Memphis has played 9 of their last 11 games at home and went 6-3 in those games. On the road, they are just awful and that's where they'll be in this game against a Pacers team that not only is looking better every game but they also play way better at home in front of their crazy fans. Indiana also has the services back of their outstanding center Myles Turner who scored 22 points in just his second back Monday night on limited minutes. The Pacers have no problems in this one. Lay The Points and Take The Pacers Wednesday Night. |

Lakers -2.5 v. Magic | | 105-127 |
Loss | -102 | 8 h 32 m | Show |
The Lakers are playing very good basketball the last 3 weeks and the Magic are a mess. Los Angeles won 8 of 10 games before their 123-111 setback in Toronto on Sunday which is one of the toughest venues to win at in the NBA. Their young stars Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma are starting to perform at a high level every night which will bring the Lakers more and more wins. Orlando could be the worst team in the NBA. They have lost 20 of their last 23 games and will be missing one of their best players Aaron Gordon. When Gordon doesn't play the Magic are just 1-9. Orlando is playing the 2nd game of a back to back while LA had 2 days off. All Signs point to LA. Lay The Points and Take The Lakers. |

Louisville +10.5 v. Virginia | | 64-74 |
Win | 100 | 4 h 29 m | Show |
I like this number and this spot for Louisville on the road. The Cardinals have quietly gone 6-2 in conference play and are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games. Louisville has done it with offense and defensive pressure. The Cardinals have averaged 80 points a game in ACC play and their defense gets close to 15 turnovers a game but also holds opponents to 38% shooting from the field and 30 percent from 3. The shooting numbers both are in the top 10 in college basketball and rank right behind Virginia. Look for a tight game that comes down to the last few possessions. Take The Points and Louisville Wednesday Night. |

This is obviously a tough spot for LA with Blake Griffin traded to Detroit but they also have other key pieces out against a very hot Portland team. Guards Jawun Evans and Austin Rivers are sidelined which leaves the Clippers short on talent to take on the guard heavy Portland. The Trail Blazers are not only hot but they just got healthier as well as Evan Turner is back in the lineup. Portland will get the win and cover. Lay The Points and Take Portland Tuesday Night. |

Xavier is back to playing great basketball after back to back losses earlier this month and playing like the team we usually see from then going down the stretch. Their offense looks unstoppable right now and that's bad news for a St Johns team that has lost 10 in a row and can't stop anybody. Look for this game to stay tight in the first half and Xavier pulling away down the stretch for a double digit win. Lay The Points and Take Xavier. |

Nets v. Knicks -5 | Top | 95-111 |
Win | 100 | 18 h 5 m | Show |
The Knicks return home to play their first game in the Garden since January 14th due to the Grammy's. They are 15-9 straight up and ATS at home this season. This is their 4th and final game against the Nets this season and they have won and covered with ease in the first 3 games winning by an average of 13. Brooklyn doesn't really stand much of a chance to avoid the sweep. Not only will be they up against a team that has owned them in front of a raucous basketball starved crowd. They will do it without their best player Rondae Hollis-Jefferson who will miss the game with a groin injury. Lay The Points and Take The Knicks. |

Thunder -3 v. Wizards | Top | 96-102 |
Loss | -108 | 18 h 47 m | Show |
Oklahoma City is playing the best basketball of anyone outside of Golden State and with 8 straight wins are climbing the standings on their way to an eventual fight with Houston for the 2 seed. During that 8 game win streak they covered in 6, beat 4 teams that will be in the playoffs this year, scored over 109 in 6 games, scored 121 or more in 4 of their last 5 and they beat Washington 5 days ago 121-112. That game was with John Wall playing for Washington. This game the Wizards will not have Wall. Lay The Points and Take OKC Tuesday Night. |

North Carolina v. Clemson | | 78-82 |
Loss | -110 | 20 h 47 m | Show |
This line is a gift and I love North Carolina in this spot. The Tar Heels are coming off back to back losses and look to avoid their first 3 game losing streak in 4 years. Roy Williams has no doubt been pounding home the importance of this game to not only end the losing streak but they are quickly falling out of the conference race. Carolina sits at 5-4 tied with 2 teams for 5th, 1 game back for Clemson and 4th place. If Carolina wants a double bye in the ACC tournament they have to finish 4th or better. Clemson is just not the same team without their best player Donte Grantham who is out with a knee injury. Carolina takes care of business and gets a much needed road win. Take North Carolina on Tuesday. |

Florida -2.5 v. Georgia | Top | 60-72 |
Loss | -110 | 19 h 28 m | Show |
Florida has recovered nicely after losing 4 of 5 in early December. The Gators have won 9 of their last 11 games and are 6-2 in conference play. The main reason for the turnaround is the 3 point shot. Florida depends on the 3 and they have been moving the rock around more smoothly of late and hitting their open 3's. Georgia is an absolute mess. They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and have only managed to score over 65 points in 1 of their last 7 games. Florida wins this one going away. Lay The Points and Take Florida Tuesday Night. |

Indiana +11 v. Ohio State | | 56-71 |

This line is ridiculous when you think of the style of play Indiana plays and the fact Ohio St isn't good enough to be favored by this many points to anyone with the way they have been shooting the ball lately. In Ohio State's last 5 games they scored only 68 against Rutgers, 71 against Northwestern, 67 vs Minnesota, 64 vs Nebraska and 79 to Penn St in a loss at home their last time out. Indiana has too much to play for to stay on the NCAA bubble and Ohio st is too shaky. Indiana covers on the Road. Take The Points and Indiana. |

Celtics +2 v. Nuggets | | 111-110 |

The Denver Nuggets are one of the tougher teams to beat when they're at home but I like the Celtics in this spot. Boston is on a tail spin that needs to stop now if they want to keep the top spot in the East. Boston has lost 5 of 6 games and seen their lead over Toronto for top spot in the East get cut to 1 game. Denver have had some hiccups at home the past couple weeks and I think Boston will clamp down, keep this a low scoring game and come out on top in the end. Take The Points and Boston. |

I'm taking the Heat in this one on the road because after looking promising in December Dallas is back to playing just terrible basketball. The Mavs are 3-9 this month and that includes a dreadful 2-6 record at home. The Mavs will also be missing JJ Barea and Devin Harris in a game they would have trouble winning at full strength. The Heat are 6-3 SU and 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games. Give The Points and Take The Heat. |

The Minnesota Timberwolves are getting better and better but they still have had issues on the road. Their road record has to get better if they want a top seed in the West and I think they play well in this one against a Hawks team that has forgot how to play defense again. Minnesota will have Jimmy Butler in the lineup as well after he missed their last 2 road games. Lay The Points and Take Minnesota. |

Give The Points and Take The Pacers Monday Night. |

Northwestern +7.5 v. Michigan | | 47-58 |
Loss | -102 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
I like the value here on a Northwestern team that has been underachieving all season but is on a 2 game winning streak. In the last 2 games Northwestern looked like the team everyone expected them to be this season with a home win over Penn State and a road win over Minnesota. Their backcourt is one of the better backcourts in the Big Ten and they've been starting to show it of late. The Wildcats have had a week to prepare for this game and I think they will be ready to put up a fight. Michigan is only 2-2 ATS at home in conference play and have been in tight games all season. Take The Points and Northwestern. |

Notre Dame is in for a world of hurt for 2 reasons. Duke is very salty after their loss at home to Virginia. The Duke offense hasn't been stifled like that this season and they will take it out on Notre Dame. The other reason Notre Dame is in trouble is Bonzi Colston has been out for much of the season and now Notre Dame is down their starting point guard. This one will get ugly.

The Duquesne Dukes were awful last year and are much improved this season with a first year head coach and exciting young players. They aren't really in Rhode Island's league yet but they play really good defense and they should be able to keep this one close long enough to cover this enormous spread. They hold opponents to 66 points a game and are 4th in the country in 3 point fg% defense holding teams to 28%. That kind of D is ggod enough to cover in this one. Take Duquense and the points. |
