03-02-25 Wisconsin +4.5 v. Michigan State 62-71 Loss -108 2 h 1 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #817 Wisconsin +4.5 over Michigan State (1:30p.m., Sunday, March 2 CBS) These are two of the top teams in the Big 10 Conference. Wisconsin has won 3 straight games in East Lansing, and I see them being able to take this game down to the wire. Wisconsin has the better offense in this game and if Crowl can hold up down low I like Wisconsin’s chances.

03-01-25 Warriors -8 v. 76ers 119-126 Loss -108 8 h 15 m Show

Golden State has won and covered the last four meetings. This team is just steamrolling the league right now, and we don’t see that stopping tonight. The Warriors have won and covered in seven of eight overall, and their offense is really efficient right now and their defense is creating a lot of extra opportunities. Morale in Philly is at an all time low. They lost Embiid for the season and they have lost nine straight and covered in only one of their last 10. This team is already several games out of the play in and now it will be tanking time for the remainder of the season. We don’t expect them to put up much of a fight here against an out of conference foe.

03-01-25 Seton Hall +20 v. St. John's 61-71 Win 100 2 h 34 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #655 Seton Hall +20 over St Johns (2:15p.m., Saturday, March 1 CBS) The Red Storm will come out tight, as they are playing for a regular season conference championship. The metrics do not like them as much as their record and to me that says they are high in the luck factor this season. Playing a rival will keep this game under 20 points. This line has been coming down all morning and I see them being around a 12-15 point victory.

02-28-25 UCLA v. Purdue -5.5 66-76 Win 100 8 h 52 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #890 Purdue -5.5 over UCLA (8p.m., Friday, February 28 FOX) Purdue has been in free fall at the moment and will enter this game having lost 4 straight games. Sooner or later, they will break out of this funk and tonight will be that night. UCLA is not used to this environment.

02-28-25 Nuggets +2 v. Pistons 134-119 Win 100 7 h 39 m Show

Detroit has been playing great basketball but the line value seems to be gone with them now laying points to Denver. These teams don’t play often, but Denver has won and covered in four straight meetings. They will have extra motivation tonight since Detroit is on a big winning streak, and it is always a confidence boost for a team to snap a streak like that. Denver has lost two of three but we think that just gives them extra motivation here to snag the win.

02-27-25 St. Mary's v. Loyola Marymount OVER 132.5 58-55 Loss -108 12 h 24 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #847 Over in St Mary’s @ LMU (11p.m., Thursday, February 27 CBSSN) The Gaels are ranked and coming off an impressive victory over Gonzaga last weekend. They are coming off 4 straight games of scoring at least 73 points and if they hit that number on Thursday we should be able to collect with the over. 137 points were scored in the first meeting between these two teams on January 7.

02-27-25 Warriors v. Magic UNDER 213 Top 121-115 Loss -110 6 h 16 m Show

These teams have gone under in three of the last four meetings, including one earlier this month in the Bay Area, a 104-99 Warriors win. We see no reason this one won’t be a similar scoreline. Golden State has been putting up a lot of points lately, but Orlando is an old school style team and they play at the slowest pace in the league and they put up sub-100 scorelines on offense on a regular basis. The Magic have gone under the total in six straight games and we think they will do a great job of slowing the Warriors down. They allowed 122 to Cleveland last time out and that was an unacceptable defensive performance for this team. We think they make some adjustments here and play a much better defensive game against the Warriors. And while the Warriors are known for their offense, this is also a strong defensive team. There is a very good chance we could see the Magic end up under the century mark in this February rematch.

02-26-25 St. John's v. Butler +7 76-70 Win 100 10 h 13 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #738 Butler over St. Johns (9p.m., Wednesday, February 26 CBS Sports Network) Still not a believer that St Johns has fixed their offense and we will fade them hoping the third time is the charm. Butler has played much better of late and will enter this game at Hinkle Fieldhouse having won 4 of their last 5 games. I feel they can take this one down to the wire in what will likely be a low scoring game.

02-26-25 Blazers -6 v. Wizards Top 129-121 Win 100 7 h 50 m Show

The Blazers always seem to play well here. In fact, they have won and covered in five straight visits. We expect more of the same tonight. We really like this Blazers team. They have some amazing talent and they play hard on a nightly basis. This is a team that is probably not going to make the play in tournament this season but they are still going to play hard down the stretch and they are a team we are buying into. The Wizards are just outright a bad team and they are likely tanking a bit for the remainder of the season. This team is by far the worst team in the NBA, and they have a horrible ATS record despite very generous odds from the bookmakers.

02-25-25 Wyoming v. Nevada OVER 132.5 61-84 Win 100 14 h 19 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #663 Over in Wyoming @ Nevada (10p.m., Tuesday, February 25 MWCN) The Cowboys give up points and that should allow this Nevada offense to reach the high seventies in points and hit with he over.

02-24-25 Michigan v. Nebraska +1.5 49-46 Loss -115 10 h 43 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #880 Nebraska over Michigan (8p.m., Monday, February 24 FS1) Michigan is coming off a brutal stretch of games and I think they will be due for a letdown in this game in Lincoln. Nebraska needs some quality wins if they want to make the NCAA Tournament and there is no better chance than facing one of the top two teams in your building.

02-24-25 Clippers v. Pistons +3 97-106 Win 100 7 h 22 m Show

Both teams are on a B2B but the Clippers get the worst of it with both games on the road. This road trip isn’t going well for Los Angeles, who haven’t looked the same since a horrible fourth quarter against the Bucks. They were blown out in Indiana last night and they will be missing a couple key players on the second end of this one. Detroit has won six straight and covered in eight of 10, and this team is very confident they can get the win tonight. They have covered in seven of the last eight meetings.

02-23-25 Connecticut +4.5 v. St. John's 75-89 Loss -113 1 h 54 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #811 Connecticut +4.5 over St. Johns (12p.m., Sunday, February 23 FOX) Connecticut has been better as an underdog this season compared to a favorite and I see them winning this game against an overrated St. Johns team. Connecticut will have a great crowd in the building, and they need it more since they already have 8 losses on the season. The Red Storm beat the Huskies last time out and UCONN will return the favor on Sunday.

02-22-25 Illinois v. Duke -8.5 67-110 Win 100 10 h 43 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #770 Duke over Illinois (8p.m., Saturday, February 22 FOX) Duke is hitting Illinois at the right time, as the Illinois have been reeling having lost two straight games via blowout fashion. Look for Duke to hand them their third straight double digit loss, as the Illini are still suffering from injuries up and down the bench.

02-22-25 Kentucky v. Alabama -10.5 83-96 Win 100 8 h 44 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #734 Alabama over Kentucky (6p.m., Saturday, February 22 ESPN) Alabama will enter this game having lost two straight games and needs to make a statement on Saturday against Kentucky. They will win it by double digits and keep their hopes alive for a No. 1 ranking.

02-22-25 Oregon v. Wisconsin -8.5 77-73 Loss -115 2 h 45 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #604 Wisconsin over Oregon (12p.m., Saturday, February 22 FOX) We will just keep riding Wisconsin until we are proven wrong on a consistent basis. The Badgers scored a top play winner for us on Tuesday in blowout fashion and I see this game being a double-digit victory as well. Oregon will not be able to keep pace with Wisconsin scoring wise.

02-21-25 Pistons -4.5 v. Spurs Top 125-110 Win 100 8 h 6 m Show

This game is the second of a back-to-back for the Spurs played in Austin, down the road from their home in San Antonio. The Spurs got some horrible news yesterday that Wemby has been shelved for the season in his second season. This team was mediocre with him but they will be pretty bad without him. And it might make awhile for new addition De'Aron Fox to gel with his teammates. The Spurs played great on Thursday in their win over the Suns. But we saw them give a lot of effort there against a conference opponent, so we have to question not only their stamina here with a sudden lack of depth but also their motivation against a nonconference opponent. Oftentimes when a top player goes down, the rest of the team will step up for a game but there is no doubt losing Wemby hurts this team badly. Detroit has been playing excellent basketball and they are a legit playoff team in our eyes. This is their first game back after the break and they will have a lot of energy. We liked the Pistons here even before the news came out of San Antonio, and we like them even more now.

02-21-25 Michigan State +3 v. Michigan 75-62 Win 100 9 h 56 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #885 Michigan State +3 over Michigan (8p.m., Friday, February 21 FOX) This line appears too low and thus I feel the smart money is on the visitor. These teams will meet twice before the end of the regular season and Michigan State needs this game if they have visions of winning the regular season crown.

02-20-25 Clippers -2.5 v. Bucks 110-116 Loss -115 8 h 59 m Show

As if the Bucks weren’t struggling enough with an underachieving season, news just came out that Bobby Portis was suspended 25 games for drug violations. This kind of distraction is the last thing the Bucks need, not to mention the hit it takes for their depth since you never know if their stars will suit up from game to game. We think the Clippers are a better team regardless, and this line indicates that Kawhi is likely to take the court tonight. The Clippers looked great heading into the break and we think they will continue right where they left off.  

02-20-25 Jacksonville +1.5 v. North Florida 73-77 Loss -115 9 h 7 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #306603 Jacksonville over North Florida (8p.m., Thursday, February 20) Just do not feel North Florida is good enough to beat Jacksonville twice in the regular season. This is a rivalry game between two schools less than 10 miles apart and the Dolphins still have a chance to win the regular season championship should they win out in their last 3 games. The Dolphins have the better team and the best player on the floor in Robert McCray. That will be good enough to earn the victory on Thursday night.

02-19-25 St. John's v. DePaul +13 82-58 Loss -108 10 h 28 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #730 DePaul over St Johns (9p.m., Wednesday, February 19 FS1) The Red Storm are coming off 4 straight monster games and I feel they will have a letdown tonight with UCONN on deck. They are a defensive oriented team and thus will have trouble covering this big of a number. The Blue Demons have cover this number against UCONN, Villanova, and Marquette of late and should be able to keep this game around 8-10 points.

02-18-25 Illinois v. Wisconsin -3.5 74-95 Win 100 10 h 17 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #636 Wisconsin over Illinois (8:30p.m., Tuesday, February 18 FS1) It is now or never when it comes to Wisconsin beating Illinois. The Illini have had good success beating the Badgers in recent years, but this is not the same team as in year’s past. Wisconsin is coming off two straight road wins and they are always a tough team to beat at the Kohl Center. The Badgers have a strong offense this year and the Illini do not play much defense. Illinois got blown out by Michigan State last time out and I see them losing this game by double-digits. Wisconsin has a revenge angle after losing to Illinois earlier this season and in the Big 10 Championship Game in 2024.

02-15-25 Wisconsin v. Purdue -5.5 94-84 Loss -110 1 h 14 m Show

4 Unit Play. Take #620 Purdue -5.5 over Wisconsin (1p.m., Saturday, February 15 CBS) Purdue needs this game more and they are a different animal at home. Wisconsin only have one great win this season and most of their work has been done by beating the mid to bottom teams in the Big 10. Purdue did not get to the free throw line much this week at Michigan but look for that to change on Saturday. Purdue by double digits.

02-14-25 Nevada -6.5 v. San Jose State 73-58 Win 100 11 h 26 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #891 Nevada over San Jose State (10p.m., Friday, February 14 FS1) This line might surprise you being this high, since Nevada is not that good, and it is a true road game. But San Jose Stat will likely be without two key players for this game and thus you get a touchdown spread. Nevada has beaten the bad teams this season and will enter having won 3 in a row playing their best game of the season last time out.

02-13-25 Clippers -9 v. Jazz Top 120-116 Loss -110 8 h 29 m Show

This is the last NBA game before the all-star break. Both teams are on a back to back and looked good on Wednesday, as the Jazz blew out the Lakers while the Clippers blew out the Grizzlies. But Utah doesn’t win often and we don’t see them replicating their play from last night. We have to figure that the Jazz are happy with their performance against the Lakers and ready for the All-Star Break, while the Clippers are dangerously close to slipping into the play in tournament section of the standings and need every win they can get. They are healthy and last night’s dominant win over the Grizzlies tells us this team is back playing well after some poor play to start the month. The Clippers match up well against the Jazz and have won five of the last six meetings. All those wins were by double digits, and four were absolute blowouts, including last Saturday, where the Clippers barely broke a sweat in a 20-point victory. LA has superior depth to handle the B2B even though Utah gets this one at home. But LA knows they have some time off coming up and should produce a strong effort tonight.

02-13-25 UMKC v. South Dakota -1.5 72-79 Win 100 9 h 28 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #794 South Dakota over UMKC (8p.m., Thursday, February 13) UMKC has been one of the most disappointing this season and I do not see them righting the ship on the road tonight. They have lost 8 of their last 9 games but did beat South Dakota earlier this season. Look for the Coyotes to get their revenge tonight at the Sports Center in Vermillion, SD.

02-12-25 Grizzlies v. Clippers -4.5 Top 114-128 Win 100 10 h 54 m Show

Memphis has been tearing the league up with wins and a high cover rate, including a win and cover at Phoenix on Tuesday. But now they are on a very tough back-to-back against a rested Clippers team that matches up extremely well with them. Los Angeles hasn’t played since Saturday, when they scored a 20-point win over Utah. The Clippers have won four straight in this series and six of the last eight. Before that Utah game, the Clippers had a bad stretch of play, but it looks like they are back on track now, and this is a good matchup for them to keep the momentum going. LA also has a very high cover rate this season and they are quietly getting the job done on the court and at the betting window.

02-12-25 Iowa v. Rutgers UNDER 162 84-73 Win 100 8 h 49 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #686 Under in Iowa @ Rutgers (6:30p.m., Wednesday, February 12 BTN) Both of these teams are poor this season and we look for Rutgers to dictate the pace of this game since they are playing at home. The Scarlet Knights are 126th in the country in scoring this season and it has been even tougher for them to score during Big 10 play. I look for this game to be played in the seventies and thus the under will hit with whoever comes out on top.

02-11-25 Raptors +10 v. 76ers 106-103 Win 100 7 h 33 m Show

The last two games for the Raptors show why they are a great squad to bet on this season. They lost to both Houston and OKC, and they had no real chance of winning those games. But they covered both of the matchups. This team doesn’t have big names and they are under the radar, but they play hard almost every night and they don’t give up until the final buzzer. That is why they have amassed a 31-21-1 ATS record. Philly is always overrated and has as a result struggled to cover too many lines (20-32 ATS). This looks like another matchup where the Raptors are underrated.

02-11-25 Purdue v. Michigan -1.5 73-75 Win 100 8 h 55 m Show

5 Unit Play. Take #618 Michigan over Purdue (7p.m., Tuesday, February 11 Peacock) Purdue is just not the same team when they play on a neutral or road site. They have a great homecourt advantage, but this is a game Michigan needs more. A win by the Wolverines will keep them atop the standings in the Big 10 and look for them to take advantage of their size in this contest. Michigan also has a revenge angle, as they were crushed by Purdue earlier this season. Look for them to bounce back.

02-10-25 North Carolina +6 v. Clemson 65-85 Loss -105 8 h 57 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #881 North Carolina over Clemson (7p.m., Monday, February 10 ESPN) Always risky taking North Carolina, but we will on Monday. Clemson is coming off a hard fought victory over Duke on Saturday and feel they could be a letdown for them in this spot. Thus we will grab the two field goals in this game, as Carolina has a remarkable all-time record against Clemson.  

02-08-25 Spurs v. Magic -3 Top 111-112 Loss -108 6 h 29 m Show

Orlando has won two straight meetings and three of four, and all the wins came by 10 or more points. Orlando has only two wins in their last eight games. But they have just finished a six-game road set and the friendly confines of home should be good for this team as they are 15-9 on the season here at Kia Center. The Spurs haven’t been much better with three wins in their last 10, and this is a very tough road B2B after they lost in Charlotte last night as a double-digit favorite. Not only is this a B2B with both games on the road, but Orlando is a strong and physical defensive team that should wear the Spurs down late. Orlando has dealt with so many injuries this season but are relatively healthy now. We expect a strong showing from the home team tonight.

02-08-25 North Dakota State v. Nebraska-Omaha OVER 151 Top 74-85 Win 100 2 h 23 m Show

10 Unit Play. Take #655 Over in North Dakota State @ Nebraska Omaha (2p.m., Saturday, February 8) Both teams have a ton of scoring punch. We will not worry about who covers the spread in this game and instead just focus on the total. 165 points were scored when these two teams met earlier this year on January 4. Omaha’s offensive stats are skewed when they were playing better teams earlier this season. They have scored at least 77 points in all of their games since December 16. This should be a game where fouling occurs at the end of this competitive game to bring the total into the 160s.

02-07-25 Cavs v. Wizards +18 134-124 Win 100 7 h 37 m Show

The Wizards have won and covered in three straight, so they will come in to this one with some confidence. Cleveland has pretty much been a covering machine this season but they have started to become overvalued as their shooting has cooled off a bit. They have covered in four of their last nine games. Washington has covered in three of the last four meetings, and they kept it to a 10-point deficit in a meeting in Cleveland in December. We are pretty much going to back any home team getting this many points.

02-06-25 North Dakota State -2.5 v. UMKC 78-72 Win 100 10 h 37 m Show

5 Unit Play. Take #819 North Dakota State over UMKC (8p.m., Thursday, February 6) I always like using the Bison in Summit League Play. They are always a top team in the league and should be able to win this game by 6-8 points. The Roos have lost 6 straight games and that includes a loss to the Bison during this losing streak. They are just playing out the string of games and I see them struggling to win any of their remaining games.

02-05-25 Rhode Island -1 v. Fordham 79-80 Loss -105 8 h 46 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #707 Rhode Island -1 over Fordham (7p.m., Wednesday, February 5 ESPN+) No bet against Fordham is a bad bet during A10 play. The Rams are 2-7 and are coming off a tough loss to St Bonaventure last time out. There will be a carryover effect into this game. Rhode Island got off to a hot start but has not been playing well of late. This is a get well game for them and expect a decisive road victory.

02-04-25 Drake -4.5 v. Murray State 55-45 Win 100 8 h 26 m Show

4 Unit Play. Take #633 Drake over Murray State (7p.m., Tuesday, February 4 ESPN2) Will not overthink this play, Drake is 20-2 and the best team in the MVC. Murray State is a bottom half team in the conference but they did beat Drake in Des Moines earlier this season. Revenge will be served tonight as the Bulldogs gets closer to the No. 1 seed and what may be a winner take all tournament.

02-03-25 Hawks v. Pistons -4 Top 132-130 Loss -105 6 h 53 m Show

The Pistons are on a back-to-back, but in our opinion they are being punished too much by the oddsmakers. They have been pretty solid in recent back-to-backs, and they are facing a Hawks team that is banged up, missing their best player, and in an absolute tailspin, having lost eight straight games. Detroit has been building some momentum and has won and covered in two straight, and this is a great spot for them to make it three in a row. They match up well with the Hawks and already have two wins against them this season. The most recent meeting was less than two weeks ago in Atlanta, a 10-point Pistons win. Atlanta had to rally big time in the fourth quarter with a 29-17 quarter just to make the final look respectable. In that game, Capela notched a double-double and him and Young combined for almost 30 points, and both players are likely to miss this game tonight. The lack of rest shouldn’t faze the Pistons and we expect a comfortable win tonight.

02-02-25 Grizzlies +3.5 v. Bucks 132-119 Win 100 8 h 57 m Show

Milwaukee looked like they were back to playoff form with a stretch of solid play but now the injuries are piling up again and they were blown out in their last two games, to the Spurs and Blazers no less. Morant is likely out here for the Grizzlies, but they have proven they can get the job done with multiple rosters starting. They have won and covered six straight meetings.

02-01-25 Lakers v. Knicks -10.5 128-112 Loss -108 8 h 6 m Show

It is always one of the biggest games of the season whenever the Lakers visit Madison Square Garden. The Knicks are the much better team and they will face a Lakers team that is very banged up at the moment. We don’t see anything other than a blowout here. The Knicks are rested and absolutely rolling right now as they have won five straight and just won their last three by double digits. And look at the opponents: Denver, Memphis and Sacramento. That is playoff form right now and this team is establishing themselves as a serious championship contender.

02-01-25 Wisconsin -2 v. Northwestern Top 75-69 Win 100 3 h 13 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #645 Wisconsin over Northwestern (2p.m., Saturday, February 1 FS1) Wisconsin struggles when teams have multiple big men that are good and I do not see Northwestern fitting that bill. The Wildcats have been struggling against good teams, losing 3 of their last 4 games including a home loss to Rutgers last time out. Wisconsin beat that same Rutgers by 12 points earlier in New Jersey. Wisconsin can score points this season averaging 82 points per game and I am just not sure Northwestern can come close to getting that mark. Lay the small change with the better team today in Evanston.

01-31-25 Clippers v. Hornets +13 112-104 Win 100 6 h 28 m Show

The Hornets have covered in four of their last five as double digit dogs. We like this Clippers team a lot but are they going to get up for this game after playing teams like the Spurs, Suns and Celtics recently? This is the biggest line the Clippers have faced on the road this season, and they know they can probably win this one without giving full effort. The Hornets have lost but covered the last two meetings and three of the last four. We simply think this is too many points tonight, and there is a good chance the home team keeps this one within double digits.

01-30-25 Hawks +10 v. Cavs Top 115-137 Loss -105 7 h 38 m Show

Cleveland is one of the best teams in the NBA at not only winning games but covering them also, and it is very tough to go against them for wagers. We think it is justified tonight, however, and we think the Cavaliers are vulnerable. The Hawks have lost six straight and are very desperate for a win. They have played well in their last two games, however, with covers at Minnesota and vs. Houston, as they have had a tough schedule lately. The Cavs are on a back-to-back, while the Hawks are rested. Cleveland has won and covered two straight, but before that they were on a rare three-game losing streak without a cover, so they aren’t playing their best overall right now. The Hawks have also won and covered in three straight meetings. For our personal wagers, we might sprinkle a little on the moneyline also.

01-29-25 Wisconsin +6 v. Maryland 68-76 Loss -110 5 h 57 m Show

4 Unit Play.  Take #667 Wisconsin +5 over Maryland (7p.m., Wednesday, January 29 BTN) This is just too many points to be giving to the 17th ranked team in the country. Wisconsin has the better offense in this game and expect them to be able to take this game down to the wire. Maryland was lucky to beat Indiana on Sunday and Wisconsin is a much better team.

01-28-25 Jazz +12.5 v. Warriors 103-114 Win 100 9 h 12 m Show

Utah has covered in three of the last four meetings. We think they are getting too many points again. The Jazz haven’t been playing well lately. It wasn’t long ago that they were covering a lot of games. They are coming off consecutive blowouts and we just think they are due for a competitive game. They have a winning record ATS this season and Golden State has not had many blowout wins lately outside of that Chicago game. The Warriors have covered only three of their last eight games, so the oddsmakers have them overrated right now.

01-28-25 Baylor v. BYU -3.5 89-93 Win 100 10 h 57 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #652 BYU over Baylor (9p.m., Tuesday, January 28 ESPN2) The Cougars are coming off two straight blowout wins to get back on track. I see them making it three in a row, as Baylor is not as strong of a team as they have been in past years.

01-27-25 Iowa State v. Arizona -2 75-86 Win 100 12 h 45 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #884 Arizona over Iowa State (10:30p.m., Monday, January 27 ESPN) Unranked team that is favored against the No. 3 team in the country is usually a strong indicator to lay the points. Arizona needs this win more than Iowa State does and they have a great home crowd that will be in play tonight in Tucson.

01-27-25 Grizzlies v. Knicks OVER 241.5 Top 106-143 Win 100 7 h 55 m Show

This game should be an absolute shootout. Both teams are rolling offensively right now and the pace should be fluid here. Memphis has scored no less than 125 in their last three games. They have 129 or more in four of their last six games. The Knicks are coming off a 143-point effort against the Kings. We think this will be a very competitive game that should come right down to the wire, and we think both teams can easily surpass 120 points each. Eight of the last nine meetings have gone over the posted number.

01-26-25 Nebraska v. Wisconsin -6.5 55-83 Win 100 1 h 55 m Show

2 Unit  Play. Take #844 Wisconsin -7.5 over Nebraska (1p.m., Sunday, January 26 BTN) Wisconsin got a bad whistle last time out at UCLA but home cooking should allow them to win this game by double digits. They are facing a former player and will want to show him they are the better team.

01-25-25 Bucks +3 v. Clippers 117-127 Loss -108 10 h 58 m Show

Just love the way the Bucks have been playing, and we had this line handicapped at PK so there is some value here. Milwaukee is playing as well as any team in the NBA right now and making up for a slow start. They are a live underdog to win this one tonight. They play well against the Clippers traditionally. They have won eight of the last 10 meetings and covered in three straight. That is a long history of dominance since these teams don’t play each other often.

01-25-25 Kings v. Knicks -4 120-143 Win 100 7 h 60 m Show

The Kings have been hot, but we think this is a very tough matchup for them. This is their third game in four days, and they looked like they were running out of steam on Thursday vs. the Nuggets. They will need everything in their arsenal to beat the Knicks at MSG, and we don’t see this matchup going well for them. The Knicks have won and covered the last two meetings and six of the last seven.

01-24-25 Pelicans v. Grizzlies -10.5 126-139 Win 100 7 h 49 m Show

We don’t often like to lay double digits in the NBA, but Memphis is the type of team that can put a massive score up against a banged up team like the Pelicans. Once again the Pels will be without their best player, and Murray is banged up as well. Memphis is 5-1 ATS as a double digit favorite in their last six in this situation. They have won and covered in four of the last five meetings.

01-23-25 Blazers +8.5 v. Magic 101-79 Win 100 6 h 33 m Show

The Magic have been very poor on offense and we just don’t see them being able to score enough to cover this line tonight. They have scored 100 or less in four straight games. This team plays at the slowest pace in the league, and a low scoring game makes the points more valuable here. The Blazers have won and covered in their last two games, and they should come in confident they can keep this one close if not challenge for the win.

01-22-25 Wolves -2.5 v. Mavs Top 115-114 Loss -115 7 h 17 m Show

The Mavs have tons of injuries across their lineup and even if some of the questionable players hit the court, this team will be severely shorthanded tonight. The Timberwolves have been a bad team to bet on most of the season, but we have found if we pick the right spot for them that it can be advantageous and this looks like a good spot for them to pick up a comfortable win. They have had some losses lately as they have had a very tough schedule, but they have played well even in the losses and this team finally looks like it is gelling a bit with the roster additions. They have won and covered the last two visits to Dallas, and we think this could possibly be a 10-point-or-more victory.

01-21-25 Wisconsin +4 v. UCLA 83-85 Win 100 11 h 53 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #665 Wisconsin over UCLA (9:30p.m., Tuesday, January 21 Peacock) Wisconsin is playing outstanding basketball at the moment and will enter this game having 7 straight games. UCLA has not played to their potential much of late and will enter this game having lost 4 of their last 5 games. The Big 10 Conference is much more physical than what the Bruins are used to and I see Wisconsin taking this game down to the wire and pulling it out late. The Badgers beat USC without their leading scorer doing anything in that game and this variety will allow them to cover the number on Tuesday night.

01-21-25 Magic v. Raptors UNDER 213 Top 93-109 Win 100 6 h 18 m Show

Orlando is dead last in points per game in the NBA and they are also the slowest paced team. It’s no wonder they are 26-18 to the under. They have dealt with injuries all season long and haven’t had a consistent rotation, which hasn’t helped. They literally have to rely on their defensive schemes to stay competitive and hope they can sink enough buckets to win. Three straight meetings have gone under, and the last two were well under this total. The Magic haven’t scored more than 100 in three straight games. It’s doubtful they will break out here since the Raptors are an underrated defensive club. They held Boston to 97 recently and the Warriors to 100. It’s a very strong possibility that Orlando won’t reach 100. The Magic have been giving up some points lately as they have played many strong offensive teams. They have lost a lot of those games. But we think this is a game they think will be winnable and they will lock down defensively tonight.

01-20-25 Bulls v. Clippers -6.5 112-99 Loss -108 10 h 6 m Show

The Clippers have won and covered in four straight meetings. The Bulls enter on a five-game losing streak. They have not covered any lines in their last four despite some generous lines by the oddsmakers. The Clippers are as healthy as they have been all season and they have played very well in their shiny new building. They are a very focused team this season and are playing great fundamental basketball, and are well coached as well.

01-19-25 Nuggets v. Magic +8.5 113-100 Loss -115 5 h 19 m Show

Orlando’s stock is down and they haven’t been playing well lately. Injuries have been a big problem here. But we think this is too many points. The Nuggets are an inconsistent team. They don’t care much about the regular season and this is a team built for the postseason. We don’t see them giving 100% effort here. Orlando has had a very tough schedule lately. But they have won three straight in this series and covered in seven straight. They play at the slowest pace in the league and we think defense will allow them to keep this one close tonight.

01-18-25 Wisconsin +2 v. USC 84-69 Win 100 3 h 29 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #691 Wisconsin +1 over Southern California (3p.m., Saturday, January 18 BTN) USC is playing better but I do not feel they are at the point where it should be a pick’em game against a traditional top conference team like Wisconsin. The Badgers have also won 6 straight game, and they will go on a scoring run at some point in this game and I am not sure USC will be able to keep pace. Still cannot overlook the fact that USC lost to Cal, Sainty Mary’s, New Mexico, Indiana, and Oregon this season. Wisconsin is better than all of those teams and USC just does not have much of a homecourt advantage at the Galen Center.

01-17-25 Magic v. Celtics -14.5 94-121 Win 100 7 h 38 m Show

We have avoided Boston like the plague as they have been overrated by the oddsmakers and they have been a bad ATS team. But when they want to bring their A Game they can dominate any team in any given night. Considering they are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Raptors and also that the Magic beat them outright last meeting, this looks like a game that Boston will want to perform their best in. Orlando isn’t the team they should be this season with major injuries along their roster. We see a major blowout here.

01-16-25 UC-Davis v. Cal Poly -3.5 65-54 Loss -115 11 h 10 m Show

4 Unit Play. Take #856 Cal Poly over UC Davis (10p.m., Thursday, January 16 ESPN+) The line in this game tells me something, as Cal Poly enters as the favorite despite being 0-6 in Big West play. This is a rematch and I expect the home team to win both of these meetings. Owen Koonce has been on a tear of late and if he gets 20+ tonight that should be enough to win this game for the Mustangs.

01-16-25 Cavs v. Thunder OVER 233 Top 114-134 Win 100 7 h 54 m Show

These teams played a week ago, and the total topped 250. These teams don’t play often, but the meeting before that saw 248 points scored. These are two Top 8 teams for points scored per game and also pace. The Cavs are No. 2 in the NBA for scoring and average more than 122 per game. In last week’s game both teams shot well over 50 percent from the field, and this will be a fast-paced game with lots of offense, so we don’t see much of a difference in what the final outcome is. This should be another close game, and we expect both teams to get their share of the total. Cleveland is one of the top over teams in the league and they have gone over in five if their last eight. OKC has been trending in that direction with four straight overs.

01-15-25 Texas v. Oklahoma -2.5 77-73 Loss -108 11 h 46 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #754 Oklahoma over Texas (10p.m., Wednesday, January 15 SEC Network) Nothing better than two teams in the Midwest having a 9 p.m. local time tipoff. This is a straight fade on Texas, as I feel they are frauds, and their head coach is in over his head. The Sooners are also 0-3 in SEC play but I feel they are the better team in this matchup and cannot afford to lose another home conference game at this point of the season.

01-14-25 Thunder v. 76ers +11.5 118-102 Loss -105 7 h 40 m Show

Even though the Thunder keep covering some of these inflated lines, these numbers are starting to get ridiculous. Yes, Embiid is out here. But Philly still has some players and they will want to play their best here as OKC is really starting to have a target on their back. The Sixers have won eight of the last nine meetings outright and they have covered in six of the last eight. Philly hasn’t been great lately but they are rarely getting blown out recently and we think they fight hard here and keep this one within double digits.

01-14-25 Illinois v. Indiana +3.5 94-69 Loss -110 8 h 21 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #618 Indiana over Illinois (7p.m., Tuesday, January 14 Peacock) Homecourt in the Big 10 means everything and we will gladly grab the points with Indiana tonight at Assembly Hall (or whatever it is called now). The Hoosiers have righted the ship before a bad outing last time out at Iowa, but they still have won 5 of their last 6 games. Illinois is coming off a bad loss to USC at home over the weekend. Expect this game to go down to the wire, but in the ned the Hoosiers will come out on top.

01-13-25 Grizzlies v. Rockets -3 Top 118-120 Loss -108 7 h 51 m Show

Usually when teams face each other in consecutive games, you can always bank on the losing team to put in a better effort in the second meetings. But in a weird scheduling quirk, the losing team, in this case Memphis, played another game against Minnesota on Saturday after their Thursday matchup with Houston, so that shifted their focus and lessened the revenge angle. Houston has been off since that game on Thursday, so they have a big rest advantage, which is crucial at this point of the long NBA season. They also have won and covered in five of the last six meetings. We think the Rockets are slightly better than the Grizzlies on a neutral court, so a rested Houston team at home should take care of business tonight with a comfortable win.

01-12-25 West Virginia v. Colorado OVER 134.5 78-70 Win 100 4 h 10 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #857 Over in West Virginia @ Colorado (3p.m., Sunday, January 12 ESPN+) Look for Colorado to dictate the pace of this game at home. The Buffaloes are averaging 75 points per game and if they hit that mark on Sunday we should be able to cash this ticket.

01-11-25 South Dakota State v. Nebraska-Omaha OVER 150.5 80-87 Win 100 3 h 43 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #657 Over 150.5 in South Dakota State @ Nebraska Omaha (2p.m., Saturday, January 11) The Jackets are starting to score more points during Summit Play after playing a brutal nonconference schedule. I look for them to reach 80 points in this game and that should put us in good shape to collect with the over. The Mavericks have scored over 80 points in 5 of their last 6 games. Much of these two teams scoring totals are skewed by playing power conference teams during the nonconference portion of the season. We will not worry about who wins this game and just focus on the over.

01-10-25 Thunder v. Knicks +5 126-101 Loss -115 6 h 27 m Show

This is a quick revenge spot for the Knicks, who lost by 10 to the Thunder just one week ago today. New York was up most of the game then just fell apart in the fourth quarter on the road. We expect a much more complete effort here at home, and we are happy to get points here as we had this line handicapped at PK with a lean to New York at that number. These teams have alternated covers for the last five meetings, and we think that trend will continue here tonight.

01-09-25 Heat v. Jazz +5.5 97-92 Win 100 8 h 7 m Show

These teams met Saturday in Miami and the Jazz scored a 36-point blowout. We think revenge is an overrated factor in NBA handicapping and both teams have played two games since, so we don’t think Miami will be focusing too much on payback. They have some off the court issues that are probably dominating their thoughts. The Jazz have been a covering machine lately, cashing tickets in 8 of their last 10 games. And they play their best at home. We think this will be a close game, and a Jazz win would not be too surprising.

01-09-25 Northern Colorado v. Montana State OVER 151.5 83-82 Win 100 10 h 19 m Show

4 Unit Play. Take #819 Over in Northern Colorado @ Montana State (9p.m., Thursday, January 9 ESPN+) The Bears are good at forcing the tempo of their opponents and tonight should be no different. They have at least hit the posted over for tonight seven straight games (1 push) and they are averaging 84 points per game on the season.

01-08-25 Arizona State v. Kansas OVER 142 55-74 Loss -110 10 h 20 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #745 Over in Arizona State @ Kansas (9p.m., Wednesday, January 8 ESPN2) Arizona State still is not getting any respect despite a good 10-3 record on the season. They are a big underdog tonight but we will focus on the total. Both teams average over 77 points per game and Arizona State scored 81 points last time out. Kansas scored 99 points against UCF last time out. We will not worry if Kansas can cover this big number and instead just focus on the over.

01-07-25 Hawks v. Jazz +6.5 124-121 Win 100 7 h 1 m Show

Injuries on both teams but Utah has been a covering machine lately and they have cashed bets in seven of their last nine. The Hawks have lost three straight to playoff type teams and they will probably have a letdown here. Atlanta has a poor ATS record and this team has been incredibly inconsistent. Utah has covered in six of the last eight and we think they are in a prime spot for a close game and possible outright win at home.

01-07-25 Tennessee v. Florida -3 43-73 Win 100 8 h 18 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #614 Florida over Tennessee (7p.m., Tuesday, January 7 ESPN2) It ends tonight! Tennessee will suffer their first loss of the season in Gainesville. Florida has the size to negate Tennessee in the paint and I do not believe the Volunteers will be able to shoot it well enough from the arc. Florida scores 89 points per game and they will go on a run at some point and pull away from the No. 1 team in the country.  

01-06-25 Blazers v. Pistons -6.5 115-118 Loss -105 7 h 44 m Show

Detroit is at a great stage in their rebuild and things are starting to come together. But the oddsmakers are slow to react. We had them handicapped at -9 in this game. They are coming in off three straight wins. They have covered in five of their last eight. Right now they are in the play-in position for the playoffs so they can’t afford to take a team like Portland lightly. We expect them to take care of business with a comfortable win.

01-06-25 Wisconsin -1 v. Rutgers 75-63 Win 100 8 h 3 m Show

6 Unit Play. Take #883 Wisconsin over Rutgers (7p.m., Monday, January 6 FS1) The Badgers are scoring a ton of points this year and I am not sure Rutgers will be able to keep pace with the in this game. The Scarlet Knights have struggled with lesser teams this season and the Badgers are a streaky team that is playing outstanding basketball at the moment. Ace Bailey will get his points for Rutgers, but I see Wisconsin with the better all-around team.

01-05-25 Iona v. Siena OVER 134 74-73 Win 100 3 h 11 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #827 Over in Iona @ Siena (2p.m., Sunday, January 5 ESPN+) The Saints have risen from the to win two straight games and have been scoring more points of late. They are averaging 93 points over their last two games and look for them to dictate the pace of this game at home this afternoon.

01-04-25 Texas v. Texas A&M -5.5 60-80 Win 100 9 h 8 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #788 Texas A&M over Texas (8p.m., Saturday, January 4 SEC Network) Both teams have two losses on the season, but Texas does not have many quality wins. They have feasted on mid-majors, and I am just not sure Rodney Terry is up to the task of being a head coach for a major program. Texas A&M is the better defensive team and playing at home should allow their offense to get going. The Aggies want to win this game badly, since Texas is their big brother, and they were against them joining the SEC. Texas beat them in football this season and took their baseball coach. The Aggies get revenge today with a double-digit victory at home.

01-04-25 Wolves v. Pistons +7.5 105-119 Win 100 6 h 4 m Show

Minnesota has been a disappointment so far in the 2024-25 season and even more for bettors as they have stayed overrated by the oddsmakers. This line feels like much of the same. The traded they made in the offseason haven’t worked yet and this team often feels disjointed. They enter having lost five of eight, and Detroit has a chance to win this one outright. The Pistons have covered in four straight meetings between these clubs, and they have won two straight and five of six, so they will be confident they can compete for the win here. We expect a close game.

01-03-25 Nevada v. New Mexico -5.5 81-82 Loss -110 12 h 58 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #894 New Mexico over Nevada (11p.m., Friday, January 3 FS!) These teams are heading in opposite directions with New Mexico undefeated in MWC play and Nevada is 0-3. The Wolf Pack do not have a No. 1 player and thus they will have trouble winning any road game this season.

01-03-25 Knicks +4.5 v. Thunder Top 107-117 Loss -109 8 h 40 m Show

The Thunder have been amazing this season and an ATS machine, but they don’t win and cover every game, and this looks like a rare matchup that could see them struggle. They took care of business against a Harden-less Clippers squad on Thursday, and that was a physical game, so this is a tough back-to-back while the Knicks are rested. Despite the fact that New York has four more losses than do the Thunder, we think they are the more complete team and more of a championship threat this season. Brunson could return for the Knicks tonight from his minor injury that caused him to be a late scratch from the Jazz game. But the Knicks, now essentially healthy, have a deep roster even if he doesn’t play. The Knicks play has been as good as any team in the NBA lately, and they have the major rest advantage tonight.

01-02-25 Rutgers v. Indiana -5.5 74-84 Win 100 10 h 53 m Show

3 Unit Play. Take #772 Indiana over Rutgers (8:30p.m., Thursday, January 2 Peacock) The Hoosiers have not lived up to expectations yet again this season, but they still have talent and should be able to beat Rutgers at home by double digits. The Scarlet Knights have some bad losses on the season to Kennesaw State and Princeton and barely beat Seton Hall at home. Lay the points with the Hoosiers at home.

01-02-25 Clippers v. Thunder OVER 218 98-116 Loss -105 9 h 38 m Show

It is very difficult to wager against OKC as they seem to cover any line the oddsmakers throw their way, but we lean towards the Clippers tonight ATS but think it’s better to attack this low total in what we think will be a competitive game. The Clippers are coming off one of their worst performances of the season in San Antonio and they will no doubt want to play well here today. These teams played here in November and the total topped 260. While we don’t see that type of game tonight, we could see this one easily going over 225. Four straight meetings at OKC have gone over the posted number, and we think that trend will continue tonight.

12-31-24 Marquette v. Providence +6.5 78-50 Loss -110 7 h 36 m Show

5 Unit Play. Take #648 Providence +6.5 over Marquette (6p.m., Tuesday, December 31 FS1) This is a lot of points for a true road game for the Golden Eagles to be laying. Marquette is just 2-2 in road games this season with their wins coming under tonight’s posted number. Providence pounded Marquette early in Big East play last season and they should be able to take this one down to the wire. The Friars play at a slow place, which should keep the scoring lower that what Marquette is accustomed to.

12-30-24 Clippers v. Pelicans +5 Top 116-113 Win 100 5 h 28 m Show

The Pelicans have been one of the worst teams ATS, while the Clippers have been very profitable as a betting team on the season. But we think this is a bad spot for the Clippers and the Pelicans are at a good Buy Low point in certain spots. No one is betting on New Orleans now as they have used up all of bettor’s good will. Two of their best players are out, and they have had lots of injury problems, the same ones that have plagued this team for the last couple years. But this looks like a game the Clippers likely won’t give full effort for. They just played one of their main rivals, Golden State, and they have played recent games against Dallas, Memphis, Minnesota and Houston. They have the Spurs and the Thunder on deck. If there were a game they might overlook, this looks like it. The Pelicans seem to always play well against the Clippers, and they have won and covered in seven of the last eight meetings. We have been picking the Clippers a lot this season and we stated in this space at the start of the season that we thought LAC was a playoff team even if Kawhi didn’t return. But we don’t like them in this spot and especially as a big road favorite.

12-30-24 Siena v. Cornell -11.5 83-77 Loss -105 5 h 46 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #858 Cornell -11.5 over Siena (4p.m., Monday, January 30 ESPN+) Neither team has gotten off to a good start this season, but the Big Red have been playing better of late winning 4 of their last 4 games. They score 84 points per game and that should allow them to cover this double-digit number at home.

12-29-24 IUPU Ft Wayne v. Green Bay +8.5 83-67 Loss -110 3 h 26 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #682 Green Bay over IPFW (2p.m., Sunday, December 29 ESPN+) The Phoenix are terrible and their coach is taking a ton of criticism, but I feel we are getting value with them here. They are playing at home and should be able to keep this game in single digits.

12-28-24 Knicks v. Wizards +13 136-132 Win 100 7 h 34 m Show

This is a tough spot for the Knicks, who are on a back-to-back and playing their third game in four nights. And you have to look at the games they played. The Christmas game against the Spurs was big, and then they faced a physical Orlando team on Friday. So this game against Washington doesn’t really move the needle for them. They can probably sleepwalk through this one and win by 7. Washington has become a bit underrated by the oddsmakers, and they have covered four of six. We think they can keep this one within double digits.

12-28-24 Gonzaga v. UCLA +4 Top 62-65 Win 100 6 h 30 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #630 UCLA Bruins over Gonzaga Bulldogs (4p.m., Saturday, December 28 FOX) UCLA owes us one after blowing a 16-point lead last week against North Carolina. This team is talented, they just need to clean up a few things (free throws) which they should be able to do in this game. Gonzaga is not as strong as they have been in recent years and playing UCLA always seems to go right down to the wire. In fact, 3 of the last 4 meetings have been decided by 4 points or fewer. UCLA allows just 58.4 points per game (7th best in the country) and that should be enough to get us a cover in this game.

12-27-24 Warriors v. Clippers -4.5 92-102 Win 100 10 h 39 m Show

The Warriors will likely be missing their two best players tonight, and they are in a bad spot after their epic Christmas game. The Clippers always play their best against the Warriors and they have won five straight meetings. They are well rested as their last game was on Monday. They also have some positive momentum due to the fact that reinforcements are on the way as Kawhi Leonard is practicing right now and will return to the lineup soon, so this team is suddenly a legit contender in the Western Conference.

12-23-24 Celtics v. Magic +10.5 Top 104-108 Win 100 7 h 33 m Show

These teams played last week in Boston, so this is a quick revenge spot for the Magic. Orlando is missing some players, but the guys that are on the court tonight will be able to keep this game close. The Magic can be excused for their blowout loss in Boston, as they are 7-10 on the road this season, but they will give their blood, sweat and tears here at home as they are 11-2 at the Kia Center this season. Boston has their big Christmas matchup against Philly on tap, while the Magic don’t play until Thursday, so they can leave it all on the court here. The Magic have covered the last three meetings at home, and we think this could be a flat spot for the defending champs.

12-23-24 College of Charleston v. Loyola-Chicago -2 77-68 Loss -122 7 h 1 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #868 Loyola Chicago over Charleston (5:30p.m., Monday, December 23 ESPNU) Both teams are off to strong starts this season and we expect the Ramblers to take care of business in Honolulu after a tough 1-point loss yesterday on the islands. Charleston lost by 9 points to a bad Oregon State team yesterday.

12-21-24 Grizzlies v. Hawks UNDER 242 128-112 Win 100 7 h 1 m Show

Looks like Morant will miss this one for the Grizzlies and Young could miss for the Hawks. While these teams can put up some points and there will be some pace here, the total is just too high for the lineups these teams could trot out tonight. Even a short cold spell for shooting could doom over bettors here. We can’t expect to see both teams get around 120 each and we think this one could land well under the posted number.

12-21-24 UCLA -1 v. North Carolina 74-76 Loss -110 4 h 30 m Show

7 Unit Play. Take #661 UCLA -1 over North Carolina (3p.m., Saturday, December 21 CBS) No bet against North Carolina is a bad bet at this point. This seem to be out played in every game against ranked teams and they will have their hands full with UCLA on Saturday. UCLA is 10-1 on the season and they have not lost a game since 11/8. The have great size and should by able to out physical the Tar Heels on both sides of the court. Playing all these tough games has taken its toll on UNC and I just do not see them getting out of this funk on Saturday at a neutral court in New York, NY.

12-19-24 Knicks v. Wolves UNDER 215.5 133-107 Loss -111 9 h 8 m Show

Minnesota has held six of their last seven opponents under the century mark. That is amazing in this day and age of NBA basketball. They are 7-3 to the under in their last 10. The Knicks can play a little defense, too, and they have gone under in three straight games. Their offense has been inconsistent, and we think they will have to lean on their defense if they want to win this one. We see an old-school style defensive matchup here and points will be hard to come by and we don’t see a fast pace in this matchup.

12-18-24 Evansville v. Texas-Arlington -7.5 54-80 Win 100 10 h 6 m Show

4 Unit Play. Take #680 UT Arlington over Evansville (8p.m., Wednesday, December 18 ESPN+) No bet against Evansville is ever a bad bet. They have not won a true road game this season and are currently 0-4 on the season. The Purple Aces score just 69 points on the season, and they will lose this game by double digits on Wednesday.

12-17-24 St Bonaventure v. Siena +7 65-48 Loss -110 8 h 23 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #626 Siena over St Bonaventure (7p.m., Tuesday, December 17 ESPN+) This is a fade on St Bona, as they are coming off a big win over the weekend and I feel a letdown in this true road game. The Bonnies beat the Friars, but that came without their best player from Providence. I see this game going right down to the wire, as Sienna is undefeated at home this season.

12-16-24 Jazz v. Clippers UNDER 223.5 Top 107-144 Loss -112 10 h 45 m Show

Three of the last four meetings have gone under the posted total. The Jazz have been very inconsistent on offense, They scored 126 last time out vs. Phoenix but only 97 the game before that at Sacramento. We think they will have trouble putting up points vs a Clippers team in the Top 5 for points allowed. This could be another game where the Jazz finish under the century mark. They have scored 106 or less in four of their last six games. If they have an offensive night like that, which we think is very possible against this defense, then this ticket should be an easy cash. The Utah defense stinks. But this Clippers offense isn’t good enough to take advantage and put up a massive number for points. They are No. 24 in the league for scoring. The Jazz rank No. 23 for scoring. These are two lousy offensive teams, and we think this total is inflated for Monday.

12-15-24 Arkansas State v. UAB  -3.5 98-89 Loss -109 7 h 37 m Show

2 Unit Play. Take #736 UAB -3.5 over Arkansas State (6p.m., Sunday, December 15 ESPN+) UAB has underachieved this season, but they still have talent and should be a player in the Sun Belt Conference come March. They have won winnable games coming up and it should be able to take care of business at home on Sunday. Yaxel Lendeborg does it all and he should come up big again on Sunday.

12-14-24 Hawks +4 v. Bucks 102-110 Loss -107 4 h 57 m Show

The Bucks have been playing better after a slow start but one of their recent losses was in Atlanta, and that one was a blowout. That win against Milwaukee was one of seven wins in the Hawks last eight games, and they are playing as well as any team in the league right now. They haven’t had an easy schedule, either. The Hawks came into the season with low expectations and the Bucks with Championship-or-bust aspirations, so we think the NBA Cup means more to the Hawks here, while Milwaukee probably has their focus more on getting team chemistry right before the postseason.
