Rating: 2 Units The Wildcats have been really good defensively and they put a hurting on Eastern Kentucky on Friday, despite hitting just four 3-pointers. To fulfill their Final Four aspirations, they will have to knock down some long-range shots and they can start against the Quakers. Xavier Sneed could lead the way. He hit three of the four 3-pointers in the win over the Colonials. Dean Wade has also been underwhelming and will be challenged by A.J. Brodeur.

Rating: 2 Units Miami has been hard to figure out so far. They are hovering around mid pack in scoring and allowing points but they have been careless. They are 27th in turning over the ball. When L.A. goes to the bench, they bring in seasoned players and that can cut down on turnovers for the second unit. The Lakers were in Orlando on Saturday and in that game the bench held up their end but Lonzo Ball never delivered. He figures to be motivated here.

Charleston is a potential Colonial champion and have two players that are going to cause problems for Oklahoma State. Grant Riller and Jarrell Brantley are experienced and tough: two things the Cowboys aren’t especially.

Rating: 2 Units Memphis has played well of late but they also have been lucky in close games. In three of their last 4 wins, the winning margin has been 11 points combined and one game went into overtime. Marc Gasol may also have to chase Karl-Anthony Towns on the perimeter and that should open up the lane. Memphis is dead last in rebounding. Minnesota seems to have bonded a bit without Jimmy Butler. They are getting good play from the point position as Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose combined for 30, 13 dimes and 9 boards in the easy win over Portland on Friday. Robert Covington is a fine long-range shooter and when Coach Thibodeau brings in Dario Saric, he gets a defender that bangs.

Rating: 3 Unit NBA Play of the Day This is not a good match-up for Dallas. Sure, the Texans have been surprisingly good but they are 27th in defensive 3-point field goal percentage. The Warriors are Number 1 in that category. The champs will not take this team lightly. Golden State was humbled by Houston on Thursday but no starter played more than 30 minutes. They just could not throw it in the ocean as the Warriors were just 4 for 18 from distance. Look for the Warriors to get after the Dallas guards as they only forced 5 turnovers against the Rockets. The Warriors can tire teams too as Coach Kerr plays a lot of guys

The Canadians have been a bit banged up but for them, it’s better now than in April. The Raptors don’t beat themselves as they take good shots, they are 2nd in offensive field-goal percentage and they are in the top 10 from the free throw line

Rating: 2 Units The Jazz can play defense at times but they started the season 24th from beyond the arc. They were in the City of Brotherly Love on Friday and in that game Utah made the mistakes of coming out flat and it cost them the game. The Celts are active and they can discombobulate clubs. They opened the season 2nd in allowing points and they have been the best in guarding the 3-point line.

Rating: 2 Units Orlando has won three in a row but the last win was against Philly when they were getting used to Jimmy Butler. The other recent wins came against the Wizards and the 4 and 11 Knicks. This is an emotional stretch for LeBron. He has Miami and Cleveland on the horizon and issues will be raised. The Lakers seem to be figuring it out. They have won 4 in a row, 6 of 7 and the loss was in the second of a back-to-back game. Lonzo Ball will have to step up since Rajon Rondo is gone for several weeks but Lance Stephenson should be able to get some valuable minutes and Lance is a game changer. Picking up Tyson Chandler is big for the Lakers. He is a solid defensive compliment to the energized JaVale McGee.

They have a burgeoning star in Alpha Diallo surrounded by young talent and role players. The Gamecocks have received surprisingly little from big man Chris Silva. Freshman guard A.J. Lawson has been a nice surprise, but Providence has a number of players to throw at him defensively.
