03-06-19 | Ohio State v. Northwestern -119 | Top | 50-68 | Win | 100 | 5 h 16 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NORTHWESTERN -119 The lack of offense Ohio State showed without Wesson at Purdue was concerning, but the bigger concern is the freshman accounting for nearly half of the Buckeyes’ 200 minutes, something that will be the case again in this contest. Playing against Northwestern is never easy because of the style, but Ohio State playing without its leading scorer and starting three freshmen on the road against a team that plays four upperclassmen among its top six players is a recipe for disaster. Losing by 35 at Purdue does not inspire much confidence in picking the Buckeyes, even against the last-place Wildcats — who look like they have one last upset in them. People have picked up on Wesson not playing as the line has swung 2.5 points to make the Wildcats 1.5-point favorites in this one. So if you felt upset-minded and grabbed this one early, pat yourself on the back. |

03-06-19 | LSU v. Florida +1 | Top | 79-78 | Push | 0 | 3 h 9 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA +1 The Gators are currently placed at 29th in the country in Ken Pomeroy’s college basketball rankings, and they own a 9-5 home record. Florida is currently a #9 seed for the NCAA Tournament in ESPN’s latest version of Bracketology. The Gators are only averaging 68.3 points on the season, pegging them 284th overall. Florida relies on their defense to win games, and they are holding opponents to 63.1 points, good for 16th in the country. LSU hasn't loss on the road, but they only limit opponents to just 73 ppg. |

Oakland is 4-0 ATS, but they matchup well in offense and defense. This game will be close to the buzzer. |

03-05-19 | Mississippi State +8 v. Tennessee | Top | 54-71 | Loss | -109 | 20 h 35 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MISS ST +8 Bulldogs freshman forward Reggie Perry (9.8 ppg, 6.9 rpg) is averaging 14.2 ppg and 9.0 rpg in the last 11 outings, posting six of his seven double-doubles during this stretch. UT second-leading scorer Admiral Schofield (16.4 ppg, 6.4 rpg) was held below 10 points for only the third time this season versus the Wildcats, finishing with seven on 3-of-13 shooting (0-for-5 from three-point range). Mississippi State is 12-4 ATS in its last 16 on the road against opponents with winning home records and 11-5 ATS in its last 16 on the road against opponents with home winning percentages over .600. The Volunteers are 1-4 ATS in their last five against opponents with winning percentages over .600. It is also worth noting that the road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven head-to-head matchups and underdog is 5-1 ATS in the last six. |

03-05-19 | Kentucky -5 v. Ole Miss | Top | 80-76 | Loss | -105 | 19 h 23 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY -5 Kentucky gave Ole Miss a beating last year 96-78. Ole Miss is just a average team, with not much talent. Ole Miss took a beating at home against Iowa St, which is just a better than average team. Kentucky has defense, and I like them here. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MINN +5 Both teams play the same style of basketball when it comes to tempo. Minnesota took a tough loss last month by 10 points. Minnesota is at home, and it's different. This game will be close, but with Purdue surrendering 66 points on defense. I like the 5 points here. |

03-05-19 | Nebraska v. Michigan State UNDER 139 | 76-91 | Loss | -105 | 17 h 8 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME 139 UNDER Going with Sparty in this one. They are still playing for a Big 10 Title and while they are off a tough loss to Indiana, they had won their previous five games and outscored their foes by 13.6 ppg over that stretch. MSU is 13-1 at home and have outscored their foes by 22.9 ppg in those games, while the Cornhuskers have lost their last three conference road games and have been outscored by 24 ppg in those games. I like the Spartans here, but the total is better value. Spartans hold opponents to just 63 points per game. MSU won earlier 70-64. The under is the play here. |

03-05-19 | Virginia Tech v. Florida State -4 | Top | 64-73 | Win | 100 | 17 h 12 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME FLORIDA ST -4 I like the Seminoles in this one. The Hokies are off a huge win of the Blue Devils, but I see a bit a letdown coming in this one and that is not good for them as they are facing a Florida State team that is 14-1 at home and on a roll. The Noles have won 10 of their last 11 games overall and they have averaged 79.5 ppg at home, while the Hokies have averaged just 63.6 ppg on the road. Look for the Seminoles to win this one by at least eight points. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME CLIPPERS +4 The Lakers have struggled against the spread, losing four of their last five games and their last four home games against teams with winning road records. The Clippers have played well against the spread, winning their last four games against teams with losing records and five of their last six games. |

03-04-19 | Nuggets v. Spurs -108 | 103-104 | Win | 100 | 7 h 14 m | Show | |
NBA 100 DIME GAME SPURS -108 The Spurs are average offensively this season, ranking 17th in scoring offense with 112 points per game. San Antonio is 21st in rebounding with 44.5 boards a contest while the team is 16th in assists with 24.3 dimes per game. San Antonio is 14th in the league in scoring defense as they allow 111.2 points a game. The Spurs are 5th in the league by shooting 47.7 percent from the field. San Antonio is tied for 22nd in three-point field goals per game with 10.2 per contest. The Spurs are 1st in the league by knocking down 40.2 percent of their long-range attempts. The Spurs gave the Nuggets a run for there money in the previous matchup on the road. I like them here at home. |

03-04-19 | Mavs v. Nets -5 | 88-127 | Win | 100 | 6 h 11 m | Show | |
NBA 100 DIME GAME NETS -5 Both teams are struggling right now but there is a distinct difference between the teams in the standings. The Mavericks are on the outside looking in at the playoff picture as they stand 13th in the West. On the flip side, the Nets are sixth in the East despite losing 10 of their last 15 contests. Brooklyn is at home in this one and that’s to the detriment of the Mavericks, who are just 6-24 on the road this season. Dallas’s disappointing performance against the Grizzlies leaves little reason to have faith in them here: look for the Nets to get back to the .500 mark with a win here. |

03-03-19 | Northwestern v. Illinois UNDER 137 | Top | 76-81 | Loss | -115 | 5 h 18 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME 137 UNDER The Wildcats are in a freefall right now with nine straight defeats, which has dropped them into the basement in the conference. Northwestern now has to go on the road, where they are just 1-8 on the season. That doesn’t instill much in the way of confidence if you’re hoping for the Wildcats to suddenly turn things around. Illinois has dropped three in a row coming into this one but they own home victories over Michigan State and Maryland this season. The Fighting Illini battled tough against Wisconsin on the road before losing by six. Illinois has played better than Northwestern of late and with having home court here. The value is in the under. I have Illinois winning 67-63 |

03-03-19 | Raptors v. Pistons UNDER 219 | 107-112 | Push | 0 | 4 h 29 m | Show | |
NBA 100 DIME GAME 219 UNDER The focus on this game seems to be the distinct rebounding advantage the Pistons have over the Raptors. While the Pistons rank sixth in the league in rebounds per game, the Raptors rank in the bottom-half. So they will definitely run into problems with Griffin and Drummond both surveying the paint area. As always, scoring points will be the biggest issue for the Pistons. Despite their defensive prowess, the Pistons will be facing a Raptors team that ranks in the top-10 with a scoring average of 114.3 points per game. The addition of Gasol has made them even more deadly on that end of the floor and a handful for any opposing team in the league. Unlike previous years, this isn’t a Raptors team simply looking to compete in the playoffs. They appear to be all-in with their eyes set on an NBA championship. Finishing with the top seed in the Eastern Conference would make the path to the NBA Finals much easier. The Milwaukee Bucks are only two games ahead right now, giving every game a must-win feel to it. Detroit won’t be the only capable defensive team on the floor on Sunday, as the Raptors are considered elite in that category as well. The value is in the under! I have the Raptors winning 108-106. |
|||||||
03-03-19 | Magic v. Cavs UNDER 216.5 | Top | 93-107 | Win | 100 | 4 h 25 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME 216.5 UNDER There is a chance that Love could be back on the floor on Sunday, but it wouldn’t be surprising if the Cavaliers opt to rest him for another game. He is already coming off a foot injury in a down season for a team that’ll be spending the playoffs watching from home. It would be ludicrous to rush him at this point in what is essentially meaningless basketball for the Cavaliers. No Love would mean big problems for the Cavaliers, who already have the third-worst record in the league. The Magic, on the other hand, have slowly climbed their way back to playoff contention. This is one of those rare situations for the Magic where they’ll actually be favorites on the road. There aren’t enough good things being said about Vucevic this season. He is averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game and proving to be a major thorn in the side for opposing teams. Not to mention he’s also leading the team in rebounds with 12.5 per game. Even if Love does play, the Magic have shown the ability to lock up on defense and eke past elite teams, much less one of the worst in the league. The value is in the under! Magic 106 - 103 |

03-03-19 | Boston College v. Georgia Tech -1 | Top | 78-81 | Win | 100 | 5 h 41 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH -1 This is a revenge game for Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech gave BC a run for the money in the last matchup last year. Georgia Tech Defense is pretty tough, they are able to hold opponents to just 65 points per game. BC is not a good road team, and they panic a lot on the court. I like Georgia Tech to pull the upset. |

03-03-19 | Rockets v. Celtics UNDER 226 | Top | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 2 h 41 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME 226 UNDER Boston picked up the win in their last game to snap a four-game skid but they’re sliding in the Eastern Conference playoff picture. The Celtics would not have home court advantage in the opening round of the playoffs right now as they are 2.5 games behind the 76ers. Houston has won four straight and rallied for the win over the Heat despite being shorthanded. The Rockets are a dangerous team and they can bury you from the perimeter if they’re on with their shooting. Harden is too much to handle for the Celtics as Houston makes it five straight wins. The books like to keep this line around 215 on the total. The game is tend to play more aggressive in Houston, but with the game played in Boston, I like the under here. |

03-02-19 | Arizona +5 v. Oregon | Top | 47-73 | Loss | -114 | 10 h 60 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME ARIZONA +5 I feel that the Wildcats can keep this one close. the Ducks are not a good offensive team and while their defense is solid, it will not produce the same results it had against the Sun Devils. The Wildcats have the better shot at the NCAA Tournament and they come in with momentum, having won their last three games in a row. I will ride with the momentum of the Wildcats in this one. |
|||||||
03-02-19 | Pelicans v. Nuggets -12.5 | Top | 120-112 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 21 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME NUGGETS -12.5 The Pelicans are trying to make the best out of a clearly dysfunctional situation right now, which puts them in a vulnerable position going on the road against the No. 2-ranked team in the Western Conference. Davis is being given playing time, but he is also being used sparingly by the Pelicans as a precaution for a future trade. The Pelicans are no longer a team that’s all-in for playoff contention. They’re basically a team that’s trying to make it through the rest of the season quickly and with the least amount of drama possible. As for the Nuggets, they have proven to be more than a flash in the pan team. They’ll be motivated for a bounce-back win after losing to the Jazz on Thursday. It’s hard to envision the Nuggets dropping back-to-back games at the Pepsi Center when they’ve only lost five games at home all season. Davis won’t be available to help out down the stretch, as the Nuggets run up the score on a Pelicans team that has the fifth-worst scoring defense in the league. Guarding Jokic is a full-time job, and if Davis isn’t all-in, the Pelicans won’t win this game. Take the Nuggets in this one. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME GEORGETOWN Georgetown has been bad in covering spreads, but they average 80 ppg. I like them at home, since there numbers are stronger on the points. Seton Hall is a great team, but they are not the money team this year. |

03-02-19 | Kentucky +3 v. Tennessee | Top | 52-71 | Loss | -110 | 2 h 43 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KENTUCKY +3 I am taking Kentucky in this contest. Tennessee hasn’t been nearly as sharp recently, recording a 2-2 record in their last four games, and they barely managed a 73-71 win against Ole Miss on Wednesday. The Vols have cooled down offensively, averaging 70 points in their last four games which included only 69 points against Kentucky a few weeks ago. Furthermore, Kentucky continues to excel in both ends of the court, and they have won four consecutive games. The Wildcats defense is very reliable, and they have limited their opponents to an average of 61.5 points in their current four game winning streak. |
|||||||
03-02-19 | Ole Miss +2.5 v. Arkansas | Top | 73-74 | Win | 100 | 1 h 46 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME OLE MISS +2.5 While this is not a must-win game for the Rebels, it is a game they need in this fight for fourth because Kentucky is not going to do them any favors coming to Oxford in a three-way battle for first itself. Ole Miss did everything right but Tyree hitting that free throw, so it is clear Davis’ team can play with anyone in the country. On the other side, Arkansas may get some inspiration for honoring its 1994 championship team, but the Razorbacks are learning the fine lines between winning and losing — something that will happen again in this game as Ole Miss escapes with a road victory. |

03-01-19 | Clippers +3.5 v. Kings | Top | 116-109 | Win | 100 | 10 h 26 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME CLIPPERS +3.5 The Kings are 0-6 ATS when playing the Clippers. The Clippers gave the Kings a whipping in the last matchup. The Clippers have to injuries coming in this game, but they still have strong depth. The Kings are nursing a injury as well, so I like the Clippers for the upset here. |

03-01-19 | Blazers +5 v. Raptors | Top | 117-119 | Win | 100 | 9 h 31 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME BLAZERS +5 This one is going to be a heavyweight tilt between a pair of teams that have momentum. The Trail Blazers have picked up wins over Golden State at home, then dispatched Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Boston on the road. That four-game run on the road is impressive as they were 10-15 on the road before that stretch. Toronto is 26-6 at home but we did see them lose to Orlando Sunday. Portland has the momentum and their two-headed monster of Nurkic and Kanter in the low block will make it tough for Toronto on the glass. Look for Portland’s depth in the rotation to give them the edge in this contest. |

03-01-19 | Hornets v. Nets -3 | Top | 123-112 | Loss | -103 | 8 h 45 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME NETS -3 Charlotte is only holding a playoff spot thanks to the weak Eastern Conference as a whole and the Southeast Division in particular. The Hornets have their work cut out for them as they continue to struggle closing out games. Brooklyn is still in the playoff picture and they have taken two of three this season against Charlotte, including the win on the road six days ago. The Nets are at home and we’ve seen the Hornets struggle to an 8-21 road mark this season. Give the edge to Brooklyn in this one. |

03-01-19 | Rhode Island v. Dayton -7.5 | Top | 72-70 | Loss | -112 | 19 h 22 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME DAYTON -7.5 Rhode Island is trying to get back to the .500 mark on the season as they slumped badly of late. The Rams are on the road here, where they are 3-7 on the season, which is going to make it a tough challenge. Dayton has three straight wins and they are tied for second in the Atlantic 10 coming into this contest. The Flyers, even with a rather short rotation, has had success this year and they are 12-3 at home. You have to give the edge the Dayton in this contest as they maintain at least a share of second in the Atlantic 10. |

03-01-19 | Pennsylvania v. Harvard -5 | Top | 53-59 | Win | 100 | 19 h 9 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME HARVARD -5 The Crimson responded well to Amaker calling them out for selfish play after a 67-61 home loss to Cornell that preceded their four-game road swing and totaled 31 assists in the last two games. Aiken has averaged 21.8 points in 10 games since recovering from a knee injury, and he gives them a swagger that Harvard will need to win the Ivy League tournament. This is the type of Ivy League game where star scoring power matters, and where Penn will again miss Ryan Betley, who suffered a season-ending knee injury five minutes into the first game. The Quakers have been a team struggling to get over the hump, and with Harvard clicking offensively and at home, the Crimson are the pick. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME KANSAS ST +5 This technically qualifies as a revenge game for Kansas, which lost on the road vs. the Wildcats 74-67 on Feb. 5. However, Kansas comes into this game banged up and they just don’t have the depth or experience on the wings to survive without Vick in the lineup. A sweep of perennial Big 12-favorite Kansas would likely help the Wildcats usurp them in the national rankings, which would also boost their NCAA Tournament resume as well. Take Kansas State to come out and cover the spread in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night. |

02-25-19 | Lakers -5 v. Grizzlies | Top | 105-110 | Loss | -102 | 7 h 29 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME LAKERS -5 LeBron is clearly trying to get the young Lakers to focus on making the postseason and you have to think that they are going to respond with a solid performance after James’ most recent comments. The Lakers are fresh off of an ugly blowout loss to the Pelicans, so this is a chance to buy low here. The Grizzlies have struggled to remain competitive without Marc Gasol and their last three losses came versus the Bulls, Clippers and Cavs. Take LeBron and the Lakers to cover the number on the road in this spot on Monday night. |

02-25-19 | 76ers v. Pelicans | Top | 111-110 | Win | 100 | 7 h 11 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME 76ERS Philadelphia has played well on offense, averaging 115.7 points per game. The team is shooting 47.5 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range. Joel Embiid leads the way for the 76ers with 27.3 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. He has missed the last two games with a knee injury and has been ruled out for this game as well. The 76ers have the better talent, and they are the play here. |

02-25-19 | Suns v. Heat -8.5 | Top | 124-121 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 40 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME HEAT -8.5 Miami has struggled out of the All-Star break with back to back losses. The Heat has work to do if they want to climb back into a playoff spot at this point and that starts with beating teams below you in the standings. There is no better opportunity to get a win than facing a Phoenix team that has lost 17 straight games. The Suns are struggling and they suffered back to back road defeats to Cleveland and Atlanta. Phoenix is just 4-28 on the road this season: while the Heat stands six games under .500 at home, they’re still better than the Suns. Look for Miami to get a win here. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAKE 136 UNDER This total is a little high when I have Minnisota winning this game 66-60. I like the game to be slow pace. Rutgers is not a good team, and will be lucky to put up 55 points. The under is the play here. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MICHIGAN -3.5 The road team has dominated this series, covering the spread in six of the last eight meetings between these two teams. However, Michigan State will have its hands full in this spot. Zavier Simpson is one of the best on-ball defenders in the country and he will be matched up with Spartans star point guard Cassius Winston, which could slow down Michigan’s offensive attack. Roll with the Wolverines to cover the spread at home in this Big 10 battle at the Crisler Center on Sunday afternoon. |

02-23-19 | Kansas v. Texas Tech -5 | 62-91 | Win | 100 | 8 h 14 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME Texas Tech -5 Kansas got the upper hand at Allen Fieldhouse earlier this month but the Jayhawks were in better shape at that point in time. With Vick missing in action, it takes a proven perimeter threat out of the mix for the Jayhawks. Bill Self offered no update for a timetable for Vick’s return, so that’s something to take into consideration. Texas Tech has won four straight since that point and they are 14-1 at home on the year while Kansas is just 2-6 on the road this year. The Red Raiders get the upper hand in this one to avenge their loss earlier this month. |

02-23-19 | Duke v. Syracuse +5 | Top | 75-65 | Loss | -105 | 7 h 30 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME SYRACUSE +5 For a sense of perspective when comparing the betting lines for the two games, consider Duke was a 17.5-point favorite in Durham with Williamson for the first meeting. If Duke was playing any other opponent, it would be easy to consider the Blue Devils’ resiliency and still-formidable offense loaded with quality scorers who can rally together to win one without their most influential and best player. The problem, however, is the opponent. Syracuse is the worst possible opponent to play at this possible time for Duke. The Orange made the Blue Devils miserable on the perimeter in the first meeting. Yes, a lot of that can be chalked up to Reddish missing the game and Jones missing all but six minutes of it. But now consider Williamson’s absence as it pertains to Duke’s spacing on offense and how far Syracuse can extend its zone on defense. Already long, the Orange will be able to push out on the wings of the 3-point line, which is one of the universal places to shoot 3s against a zone. Additionally, they have a solid rim protector in Chukwu should Duke choose to attack the basket. The Blue Devils finished with 43 treys without Jones and Reddish; without Williamson to create an inside-out game, that number may happen again. And Duke is not a good enough team to win shooting that many treys. |

02-23-19 | Indiana State v. Missouri State -6.5 | Top | 61-67 | Loss | -106 | 2 h 23 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MISSOURI ST -6.5 Indiana State came up with a win in their last game but that was on their home floor. The Sycamores are next to last in the Missouri Valley Conference standings and this is going to be a tough matchup. Missouri State struggled to put points on the board in their loss to Northern Iowa and they need to pick up some momentum heading into the conference tournament. That loss knocked the Bears out of a share of the top spot in the standings. Missouri State makes up for that defeat by taking down the Sycamores in this one. |

Today they will face a top completive team that matches very well. Kentucky averages 78 ppg, and holds opponents to just 65 ppg. I like this game within 4 points, and a possible upset. |

02-22-19 | Jazz v. Thunder -170 | 147-148 | Win | 100 | 10 h 58 m | Show | |
NBA 100 DIME GAME THUNDER -170 There’s something about George going against the Jazz. He has been the leading scorer the last two times these teams have played one another. It was a 43-point performance in their most recent game in December and a 31-point performance prior to that game. So he’ll definitely be the player to watch in the rubber match on Friday. There is no answer for Westbrook, and he’ll likely take a step back from scoring, while dominating more on the boards and as a facilitator this time around. These are the games when Mitchell hasn’t shown the consistency of a legitimate superstar. When faced with elite opposition, he sometimes disappears entirely or turns in a mediocre performance, particularly when the Jazz are playing on the road. Each loss hurts for the Jazz as they try to stay afloat in the playoff picture with the Houston Rockets, San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Clippers. They’ll feel that pain once again on the road when they succumb to the fearsome duo of Westbrook and George for a third time this season. Give me the Thunder in this game. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME IOWA -7 Though the Hoosiers played better in their last game, one gets the sense that late bucket by Purdue’s Matt Haarms may have been the knockout blow to their NCAA Tournament hopes. Playing an up-tempo team like Iowa is dangerous because the Hawkeyes have the firepower to run teams out of the gym. Iowa is eager to bounce back from a tough loss itself and is playing at a level Indiana cannot equal at this moment. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME 132 UNDER This is a pick leaning heavily against Rhode Island due to its perimeter struggles. Davidson is also a solid defensive team, yielding 65.4 points per game, and with the Rams shooting woes, this may be a first to 60 wins type of contest. |

02-22-19 | Nuggets -4 v. Mavs | Top | 114-104 | Win | 100 | 9 h 52 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME NUGGETS -4 Dallas stumbled into the All-Star break and they’re facing one of the elite teams in the league here. Denver got a shot in the arm with the return of Thomas, who made his debut against the Kings. Getting Millsap back was a boost and the team hopes to have Harris back for this one as well. The Nuggets have a deep rotation and they are capable of hanging with any team in the league. Dallas is good at home but they don’t have the talent to keep up with Denver. Give the points and take the Nuggets in this one. |

02-22-19 | Wolves -5 v. Knicks | Top | 115-104 | Win | 100 | 6 h 19 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME WOLVES -5 It’s tough seeing an organization with so much history as the Knicks continue to struggle every season. Basketball enthusiasts aren’t getting pleasure out of watching any NBA team lose 18 consecutive games. So it was a bit of a relief to see the Knicks finally get a win and put that painfully long losing streak in the rearview. However, it won’t remain there for long. The Timberwolves have shown more fight than expected after trading away Jimmy Butler this season, and they are coming off a pair of quality wins over the Houston Rockets and Los Angeles Clippers. Karl-Anthony Towns is also on a hot streak right now, netting 24-plus points in his last six consecutive games. He has also registered a double-double in nine of his last 12 outings. The daunting task of slowing down Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose and Andrew Wiggins will be too big of a challenge for the Knicks’ backcourt. They are finally putting the right pieces together, but they are still a long ways off from being a good basketball team. I’ll take the Timberwolves in this game. |

02-21-19 | Rockets v. Lakers +2.5 | Top | 106-111 | Win | 100 | 31 h 40 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME LAKERS +2.5 The final stretch of the season will be critical for the Lakers if they have any shot of climbing back into the playoff picture. There is a real possibility that even a James-led team could be left out in the cold this year in the deep and talented Western Conference. These aren’t the good, old days when he could simply drag a bad team to playoff contention. That isn’t to say his talent is diminishing. He is still considered the best basketball player on the planet for good reason, but if the Lakers are going to make a late run in the season, he’s going to need help from some of the other young stars on the roster like Ingram, Kuzma, Josh Hart and Lonzo Ball. The return of Ball and Hart, who have both been sidelined with injuries, will be a huge boost for the Lakers on Thursday against the Rockets. That will ultimately aid in their offensive firepower, which the team will desperately need facing reigning MVP James Harden. There is simply too much on the line for the Lakers at this point to expect James and company to drop a third consecutive loss. This is their first game back from the All-Star break at home, and for the first time in a while, they’ll have all of their pieces available. Another monstrous scoring effort by Harden will lead to a thrilling game, but it will be no match for the must-win hunger from the Lakers. Give me Los Angeles in this game. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME 138 UNDER The Ducks lead the Pac-12 and rank 16th nationally in three-point percentage defense (29.7 percent). The under is 4-0 in the Ducks’ last four overall, 4-0 in their last four against the Pac-12, 7-2 in their last nine on the road, 7-2 in their last nine on the road against opponents with winning home records, and 6-2 in their last eight following a loss. It is also 6-0 in the Trojans’ last six at home, 6-1 in their last seven at home against opponents with losing road records, 20-7 in their last 27 against the Pac-12, and 20-7-1 in their last 28 following a win. Look for this one to stay under the total. |

The Dons have stayed under in four of their last five games versus a team with a winning record. On the other hand, BYU has stayed under in four straight home games and eight of their last nine WCC contests. Look for this conference battle to go under the projected total on Thursday night. |

02-21-19 | Oregon +2.5 v. USC | Top | 49-66 | Loss | -109 | 5 h 9 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME OREGON +2.5 The fact the Ducks are still in the running for a top four-finish is impressive considering they lost their best player–7’2” freshman center and likely lottery pick Bol Bol–to a left-foot injury before conference play even started. Bol was leading the team in scoring (21.0 ppg), rebounding (9.6 rpg), and blocks (2.7 bpg) while also shooting an amazing 52 percent from three-point range. Louis King, a 6’9” freshman forward, has helped pick up some of the slack to the tune of averaging 16.0 ppg in Pac-12 action–tops for any freshman in the conference. Junior point guard Payton Pritchard is averaging 11.8 ppg and 4.4 apg, while White is chipping in 10.5 ppg and 3.8 rpg. Oregon is 25-4 after Feb. 14 in Pac-12 play over the last five seasons. Oregon gave USC a beaten last month with no problem. Great Play |

02-21-19 | Michigan v. Minnesota UNDER 133 | 69-60 | Win | 100 | 3 h 17 m | Show | |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME 133 UNDER This has been an “Over” series of late, but I see this one going Under the Total. the Wolverines have allowed just 59.9 ppg in league play and the Golden Gophers have averaged just 62.8 ppg over their last five games. The Minnesota defense has not been horrible this year and should be able to have a decent showing against a Michigan offense that has averaged just 67.8 ppg on the road, 66.2 ppg in their last five games and 67.8 ppg in league play. Michigan plays very slow on offense and their defense is too tough to think that a struggling Minnesota offense will score much on them. The Under is 17-4-1 in Michigan’s last 22 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and that seals the deal for me. |

02-20-19 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech -2 | Top | 65-73 | Win | 100 | 9 h 5 m | Show |
COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME GEORGIA TECH Pittsburgh might be sitting at the bottom of the ACC conference, but they don’t have to finish their season in that spot. There are at least four other teams, including Georgia Tech, that are one game out from being in their situation. The Yellow Jackets don’t want to be the team looking up at the rest of the conference after dropping a game to Pittsburgh, especially when the game is on their home court. Fortunately for the Yellow Jackets, the Panthers have lost 21 consecutive games on the road. That spells doom for them on Wednesday playing away from their home building against a team that is equally as determined to end a long losing streak. Georgia Tech is also a dangerous team on the defensive end of the floor. They can make up for their lackluster offense with their suffocating defense, which ranks 15th in the country in efficiency. That stout defense coupled with playing at home will ultimately lead to Pittsburgh’s undoing for their 10th consecutive conference outing. Take the Yellow Jackets in this game. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME MISS ST -6 I am siding with Mississippi State in this contest. Mississippi State has fared well against teams below them in the standings. They have notched two straight double-digit wins against Alabama and Arkansas in their last two games, and they are averaging a solid 78.8 points in their last five games. Furthermore, Georgia is having trouble defensively, and they have lost six consecutive games, plus five of those were also ATS losses. Georgia has surrendered at least 80 points in four out of their last five games, and Mississippi State should have no problem scoring in this one. |

The Terps have lost to Michigan, Wisconsin, and Michigan State on the road. Iowa is 13-2 at home and beat up on the Wolverines by 15. They are one of the best shooting teams in the league and Maryland struggles to score on the road. They are shooting just 42.8 percent from the field away from home, which shows their youth. Take the Hawkeyes at home with confidence. |

Simply put, they need this game to create some sort of margin of error where 8-12 could get them in the NCAA Tournament with a split of those final four games. The under is the play here. 128 is my target number |

Tennessee has experience as they brought back the nucleus of last season’s team, which owned a share of the SEC regular season crown.

This is a deep, impressive team that has a lot more than a win over Rutgers on its mind. Still, messing around with Northwestern for 40 minutes (despite winning) will keep the Hawkeyes on full alert against another opponent that it should beat handily. Iowa has won five of the six all-time meetings with Rutgers. |

The Bulldogs have allowed 71.6 ppg at home overall, but they have allowed 84.7 ppg in their last three games at home and 79.6 ppg in their last five games overall.

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME HOUSTON -9 Adams’ MCL injury is expected to keep him sidelined four weeks at a minimum, which means he’ll be watching from the bench when his team faces one of the best teams in the country. Not that his presence in this particular matchup would have made much of a difference anyway. The Cougars rank sixth in the country in defensive efficiency and fifth in points allowed. It’s going to be a tremendous uphill climb for the Huskies after shooting 40.3 percent against a Memphis team that ranks among the worst defenses in the country. This game is a total mismatch on paper, especially without Adams on the floor. Davis had 24-plus point performances in back-to-back games before dropping 16 points in Houston’s marquee game with Cincinnati. He’ll be the difference on Thursday night against a UConn defense that hasn’t shown any consistency all season. Houston wins this game handily and stays one game ahead of Cincinnati at the top of the American Athletic Conference standings. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME North Carolina +1 North Carolina has three traits in common with Duke that translate to success against Virginia. The first is size in the backcourt, which the Tar Heels have in the 6-foot-5 White and 6-9 Johnson. This puts pressure on Virginia’s pack-line defense because its smaller guards can be backed down into the paint before opponents kick the ball out to the perimeter for less-contested 3-point looks. The second is quality perimeter shooting. White and Johnson have combined for 110 3-pointers, and both Maye and Kenny Williams are not bashful about taking treys either. The third is scoring in transition, and with the Tar Heels, there is their secondary transition in which they are constantly able to find quality looks early in the shot clock. North Carolina lost twice to Virginia last season but played far better in its 71-63 ACC Tournament loss than it did in the 61-49 road loss. This Tar Heels team, though, is far more dynamic offensively. They will not score 90 points in this game, but they should score enough to win. This line has flipped to the Tar Heels giving a point, so again, the hope is you got in early on this one to ride with Rameses and North Carolina. |

Granted, they’ve had a tough stretch against some really talented teams, but they’ve also had winnable games against the Atlanta Hawks, Minnesota Timberwolves and LeBron James-less Los Angeles Lakers. Yet, they have continuously struggled to play well enough offensively to disguise their horrendous defense. Only the Cleveland Cavaliers have a worse defensive efficiency rating than the Suns. Teams are averaging 118.7 points per game against them on the road. I like the Jazz 118-107. Lay the money on the over. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME MARYLAND +2.5 Here’s a team that needs a win against a squad that is spiralling towards the bottom. Is it football season yet? Nebraska is well-coached but you can’t make up for the loss of Copeland, who was a former Georgetown product. Fernando had 18 points and 17 rebounds in that first game with Copeland playing 31 minutes. He and his fellow Terps will dominate the boards and the paint in this game. Take the ranked team on the road to cover with ease. |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME NORTE DAME +3.5 For Notre Dame, Mooney is the only player in the nation averaging 10-plus points, 10-plus rebounds, and shooting better than 45 percent from three-point range. His team should finally be playing with some much-needed confidence following another stellar performance against Boston College. The Hurricanes are 1-4 ATS in their last five against winning opponents, 2-7 ATS in their last nine at home against opponents with losing road records, 1-6 ATS in their last seven at home against opponents with road winning percentages under .400, and 16-34-1 ATS in their last 51 following a loss. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME BLAZERS -7 Heat shooting guard Dion Waiters went 7-of-32 from the floor over the last four games. Other than center Hassan, the rest of the starters were a combined 7-of-22 against Indiana. Miami is 1-4 ATS in its last five against winning opponents, 0-4 ATS in its last four following a loss, and 0-4 ATS in its last four trips to Portland. The Trail Blazers are 4-0 ATS in their last four against losing opponents, 9-0 ATS in their last nine playing on at least three days of rest, and 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between the two teams. It is also worth noting that the home team is 7-2 ATS in the last nine head-to-head matchups and the favorite is 5-2 ATS in the last seven. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME RAPTORS +3 The Raptors have great defense and can hold opponents to just 108 points. The Sixers have been stunning at home, but they are going against great talent with a strong bench. The Raptors for the upset here. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME TIMBERWOLVES -1 The Grizzlies have struggled against the spread, losing eight of their last nine home games against teams with losing road records and eight of their last 10 games against teams with losing records. The Timberwolves have played well against the spread, winning four of their last five road games and six of their last seven road games against teams with losing home records. |

02-04-19 | Rockets -8 v. Suns | Top | 118-110 | Push | 0 | 10 h 2 m | Show |
NBA 100 DIME GAME ROCKETS -8 There is legitimate concern with the Rockets putting so much of the weight on Harden’s shoulders. His ability to average 30-plus point performances is a spectacular feat, and it might even win him a second consecutive league MVP nod. However, that kind of strategy isn’t conducive for a championship run. Fortunately for the Rockets, Paul is expected to be back in the lineup on Monday, and they are playing against a Suns team that has the second-worst record in the league. Even if Paul couldn’t play, the Rockets should still be able to take care of business in this game. The Suns nearly have more consecutive losses than they have total wins. Despite all of the defensive issues with the Rockets, the Suns won’t be the team to take advantage considering they rank in the bottom-half of the league in total scoring offense. They are actually averaging less points scoring under their own roof than they are on the road. That average of 105.7 points per game isn’t going to cut it with Harden on the floor. Paul should also continue trending upwards after his improved performance against the Nuggets. Rockets by 12 points or more |

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME IOWA ST -140 While both Iowa State and Oklahoma were considered the two teams to have the best chance of ending Kansas’ reign atop the Big 12, only the Cyclones have showed the staying power to actually fulfill that potential. Iowa State’s balance and versatility makes it a solid road team, and at the very worst, this game should not be decided until the final four minutes unless the Cyclones grab control earlier. Their two road losses in Big 12 play have come by a combined seven points, and they were step for step with Kansas at Phog Allen for 39-plus minutes. Oklahoma will have a proper amount of desperation for this game, but it has been erratic of late. And that does not bode well in playing an Iowa State team that executes its offense consistently. |

NBA 100 DIME GAME WIZARDS -7 Washington has been hanging in despite missing three starters but they’ve stumbled a bit of late with three losses in their last four games. The Wizards do catch a bit of a break here facing a division rival below them in the standings. Atlanta is at the tail end of a seven-game road trip and they’re logging their third game in four nights here after playing in Utah Friday and Phoenix Saturday. Wizards by 9 points or more. |
