The Rams already beat the Spiders 81-70 earlier this season while out-rebounding Richmond 37-26, including 11-6 on the offensive glass.

Miami came out of the All-Star Break on a mission as they won six straight games while going 5-0-1 ATS. The Heat lost their last game 106-103 in Houston, and while that loss came in a bad scheduling spot, we expect some short-term regression from Miami. They have a brutal schedule down the stretch, playing the most games of any team. Obviously their main goal is to win another championship, so Miami will need to conserve minutes going forward. The Heat have nothing to prove against San Antonio, a team they beat in the Finals last year and beat by 12 points (113-101) earlier this season. While tonight

Wyoming was quietly having a good season, but unfortunately, they lost their best player to injury three games ago. Larry Nance Jr. is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, and since his departure, the Cowboys are 0-3 SU and ATS. Wyoming is also without Charles Hankerson Jr. due to suspension, and his absence makes the Cowboys extremely thin. Wyoming has to rely on their current five starters to play at least 40 minutes or more, and the increased playing time has the team worn out. In their last two games, Wyoming has been out-scored 91-61 in the second half.

Michigan has played better basketball than expected after losing their best player, Mitch McGary, a couple of months ago. The Wolverines have gone 15-3 without McGary which is pretty impressive. However, Michigan has had trouble against a certain style of play, and they will face that tonight in Illinois. The Wolverines need to play at a fast pace to be at their best, and they are quite vulnerable when forced into a slow, half-court game. Michigan is just 3-5 SU (2-4 on the road) when held to less than 70 points this season with two of those wins coming by just 3 points apiece. The Wolverines have not been at their best on the road recently either as they are just 2-2 SU in their last four games with one of those wins coming in overtime by a single point.
Illinois was good early this season; they began the year at 13-2. The Illini proceeded to go an ugly 1-10 over their next eleven games. However, Illinois has reverted back to their early season form as they

Syracuse lost their first game of the season on Wednesday night to an unlikely opponent. Boston College, with just 6 wins on the season going into that game, won 62-59 at Syracuse in overtime. The Orange were on the verge of losing for some time as five of their previous eight wins all came by 6 points or less. Off their first loss of the season, we expect Syracuse to play with a hangover in this game at Duke. The Orange should have lost their last road game at Pittsburgh, but they were fortunate to escape with a win after hitting a half-court shot at the buzzer; Syracuse trailed by 6 points with less than 2 minutes to play. The Orange have been extremely fortunate in their recent games, but we expect their luck to run out tonight in their toughest road game to date.

Notre Dame was extremely fortunate to win that game as they sent the game to overtime after hitting a free throw with 0.7 seconds left to play. Boston College led 29-26 at the half and they never trailed in the second half despite their best player (Olivier Hanlan) only scoring 5 points in the entire game. Notre Dame was dominated for the entire 45 minutes of that game, so to say they were lucky to win would be a big understatement.

When Utah and UCLA played in mid-January, we released a Best Bet selection on Utah +2 at home. The money agreed as the game was bet down to a pick, and Utah won 74-69. The main reasons we liked Utah in that game was the fact they were undervalued at that point, playing on a strong home court, and they were going to be able to dictate a slow pace. Despite winning, Utah did not control the pace as much as we expected, especially in the second half when UCLA scored 43 points. The Utes also allowed UCLA to take 63 shots in that game while only taking 53 shots of their own. With the rematch now in Los Angeles, we see no possible way in which Utah can dictate the tempo, and ultimately that will be their undoing in this game. Utah is just 1-6 in true road games this season; they got their first win on Thursday night at USC. They were expected to win that game as they were 4.5-point road favorites. Off that win, we expect a letdown in this game, especially since Utah already beat UCLA earlier this season.

Indiana is not in a good situational or scheduling spot for this game tonight in Orlando. The Pacers come in off a spotlight overtime game against Portland on Friday night. Indiana trailed throughout that game, and they were down by as many as 12 points before hitting a last-second three to tie the game. The Pacers ultimately won 118-113 in overtime, but that was a draining and taxing effort with all five starters playing 38 minutes or more. Indiana is in a flat spot tonight in Orlando, especially since they return home to play Denver tomorrow night. The Pacers already own two wins over the Magic this season, including an easy 98-79 romp just six days ago.
Orlando is playing some good basketball right now. The Magic have won back-to-back games, including their 103-102 home win over Oklahoma City on Friday night. Orlando has won four consecutive home games with their offense scoring 103 points or more in all four of those games. The Magic are a respectable 12-14 at home this season with nine of those losses coming by single digits. Orlando will put everything they have into tonight

Wichita State is one of the best teams in the country. The Shockers are a perfect 24-0 and they have a legitimate shot at winning the national title this season. We really have no negatives to recite about Wichita State, but the Shockers are not in the best of scheduling spots. This is a quick turnaround from their close win at Indiana State on Wednesday night. There are only three teams in the Missouri Valley Conference that have a positive scoring margin in conference play: Wichita State, Indiana State, and Northern Iowa. The Shockers survived the other night by 7 points as 4-point road favorites. Now they must do so again on a back-to-back road set while laying more points; the inflated line gives us a lot of value with the home underdog.
Northern Iowa has a losing record at 11-12, but they

Boise State is in a terrible situational and scheduling spot for this game at Utah State on Saturday night. The Broncos come in off their biggest home game in 14 years when they hosted #5 San Diego State on Wednesday night. The Broncos controlled that game for over 37 minutes; they led by 14 points in the second half. San Diego State hit a game-winning three with 4.2 seconds left to play. Boise State will have a very difficult time getting over that game, and since they have to travel and play in a very tough place, we expect a major hangover from the Broncos. They already beat Utah State 78-74 earlier this season so they have little motivation against the Aggies.
Utah State snapped a 5-game losing streak with an 83-75 home win over Nevada on Wednesday night. During the Aggies recent losing streak, they played three games on the road and lost a home game in overtime to a 20-1 San Diego State team. So it

San Diego State is 19-1 on the season and they are currently ranked #5 in the country. However, this is a dangerous spot for the Aztecs, and we do not expect them to leave Boise with a win. San Diego State does not match-up well against the Broncos, and that has been evident in recent meetings. Boise State has taken the Aztecs to the wire in all seven meetings between these two teams over the last few seasons. Six of the seven games have been decided by 6 points or less with five of those games decided by 4 points or less. San Diego State won 69-66 at home earlier this season, but they lost in Boise 69-65 last season.
Boise State is a very good team people know little about. The Broncos won 21 games last season and they played in the NCAA tournament. They returned four starters from that team, including two of the best overall players in the Mountain West conference (Derrick Marks and Anthony Drmic), and also the league
