03-03-17 | Cavs v. Hawks UNDER 214 | Top | 135-130 | Loss | -110 | 29 h 29 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on CLE@ATL to go UNDER the total.
It's that time of year again... the stretch run in the NBA regular season. Teams are jockeying for playoff position, and preparing for the post-season. That means more attention to detail, and a lot more effort on the defensive side of the ball. Historically we know that playoff basketball tends to be significantly lower scoring than the regular season, but I believe that trend starts right now. The Hawks have failed to reach the total in six straight, and eight of their last 10. They host the Cavs, who have gone under in four of their last five. These two teams have trended over in recent meetings (7 of the last 10), but tonight's total is far higher than it was in an of those previous games. In fact, the listed total was under 200 in six of those games, and never higher than 208. The Hawks have more to play for, at home and sitting just 2.5 games out of first in their division. Atlanta ranks in the Top 10 in the league in points allowed, and the bottom 10 in points scored. They've gone under in four of their last five home games. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-02-17 | UC-Santa Barbara v. CS-Fullerton -10 | 54-65 | Win | 100 | 13 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Cal State Fullerton.
The UCSB Gauchos are 0-11 on the road this season, and they've lost their last two road games by a combined 39 points. They lost at home to the Titans by a whopping 26 points earlier this season, so it would come as no surprise if they got their butts served to them here at Fullerton on CSF's Senior's Night. Gabe Vincent leads the Gauchos in scoring, and he hasn't played due to a knee injury suffered the last time these two teams met. Fullerton's last two home games were wins over the top two teams in the conference (UCD and UCI). They average 14 points more at home than the Gauchos do on the road, and they give up a couple points less. The Gauchos are 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games, and the home team is 12-5 ATS in the last 17 meetings between these teams. Take CSF. GL, Jesse Schule |

03-01-17 | Cavs v. Celtics UNDER 222 | Top | 99-103 | Win | 100 | 16 h 25 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on CLE@BOS to go UNDER the total.
The Celtics host the Cavs Wednesday, and both teams are gearing up for a playoff run. This time of year we see teams step up the intensity on defense, especially in games like this. Boston has lost two of three games since the break, and the Celtics scored an average of less than 100 points in those games. These teams have a history of playing low scoring games, especially at The Garden where they've failed to reach the total in the last four meetings. Cleveland won nine of 11 games in February, and they've gone over in five straight road games. The total for tonight's game is higher than it was in all five of those games though, and it's far higher than it was in any of the previous 10 meetings in this series. Boston's leading scorer Isaiah Thomas is ice cold since the All Star break, shooting just 31.4 percent from the field in three games. He's not the only one struggling, Al Horford has totaled 10 points on 5-of-20 shooting the last two games. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-28-17 | Pittsburgh v. Georgia Tech -135 | Top | 52-61 | Win | 100 | 14 h 55 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Georgia Tech is coming off back to back losses, but those games were decided by a total of just six points. They are still one of the best home teams in the ACC, with a record of 10-4, and marquee wins over Syracuse, FSU, Notre Dame and North Carolina. They play their final home game against the Pitt Panthers, who are coming off a blowout loss at home in their final home game of the season. Pittsburgh is just 2-6 on the road, and one of those wins was out of conference. The other was an 83-72 win at Boston College, the last place team in the ACC. Georgia Tech is dominant defensively at home, holding opponents to just 62.1 points per game on 36.4 percent shooting. The Yellow Jackets have covered the spread in five of their last six home games, and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite of 0.5-6.5. Take GT. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-28-17 | Indiana v. Purdue -10.5 | Top | 75-86 | Win | 100 | 15 h 22 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Purdue Boilermakers.
The Boilermakers are hosting BIG10 rivals Indiana Tuesday, with a chance to clinch first place in the conference. The Hoosiers are coming off a one-point home win over Northwestern, but had lost five straight before that. One of those losses was a 69-64 home loss to Purdue. The Boilermakers have a history for punishing Indiana at home, winning by double digits in 2015 and 2014. Purdue has been beating up on the opposition at home this season, with a 14-2 home record. They have held visiting teams to an average of just 61.4 points on 37.7 percent shooting in those games. Indiana has struggled on the road, scoring an average of less than 70 points while losing seven of eight. Indiana only scored 63 points in their final home game against Northwestern, and they were outscored (36-27) in the second half of that game. They ended up winning by one-point with a free throw in the final seconds, and I think that sets them up for a let down here against the mighty Purdue Boilermakers. Take PUR. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-28-17 | St Bonaventure v. Davidson -155 | Top | 63-68 | Win | 100 | 11 h 36 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Davidson Wildcats.
The Wildcats are coming off a particularly disturbing loss. They led by 11 with five minutes to play in the second half on Friday versus Dayton. The Flyers battled back to force overtime, and Davidson went on to lose by a score of 89-82. Normally I don't like to bet on teams coming off these type of games, but I'll make an exception here. It's the Wildcats final home game, and they host St. Bonaventure, and I think the Bonnies might be looking ahead to their own final home game against Massachusetts this weekend. At first glance, it looks like the Bonnies aren't bad on the road, with a winning record of 5-4. A closer look reveals that those wins came against Saint Louis, St. Joes, Duquense, UMASS and an out of conference win versus Hofstra. Beating the bottom four teams in the conference doesn't offer any evidence that the Bonnies can upset the Wildcats on Senior's Night. If Davidson plays the way it did against Dayton, this game won't be close. The Wildcats are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. Take DAV. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-27-17 | Heat v. Mavs UNDER 200 | Top | 89-96 | Win | 100 | 25 h 26 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on MIA@DAL to go UNDER the total.
The Heat have won 16 of their last 18 overall, but they face a tough test on the road in Dallas tonight. Both these teams are battling for a playoff spot, and Dallas has won three of their last four home games. The Mavs rank 4th overall in the NBA allowing just 100 points per game, and they rank 30th in scoring, averaging just 97.8 points per game. Dallas is coming off a 96-83 home win over New Orleans, and they held DeMarcus Cousins to just 12 points in that game. History favors the Heat, who have won four of the last five in this series. All five of those games saw fewer than 200 points scored, and I expect another defensive battle tonight. The under is 7-1-1 in the Mavs last nine games against Eastern Conference teams. Miami has gone under in five of it's last seven against Western Conference teams. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-27-17 | Hawks v. Celtics UNDER 213 | Top | 114-98 | Win | 100 | 20 h 51 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on ATL@BOS to go UNDER the total.
The Atlanta Hawks have come out of the All Star break in a slump. They lost their last game 108-86 at Orlando, and they've scored an average of 86.6 points per game while losing three straight. It won't get any easier tonight, playing on the road at Boston. The Celtics are 20-8 at home, and the have covered the spread in three straight home meetings with Atlanta. These two teams have a history of playing low scoring games, going under in four straight meetings. The Celtics have gone under in nine of their last 10 home games when returning from a road trip. The total for tonight's game is higher that it was in each of the last 10 meetings. This time of year, when you have two teams jockeying for playoff position, you expect more emphasis on defense. The Hawks have failed to reach the total in four of their last five road games, and I expect another low scoring game here at the Garden. Take UNDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-24-17 | Dayton -130 v. Davidson | Top | 89-82 | Win | 100 | 10 h 17 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Dayton Flyers.
The Davidson Wildcats aren't as competitive this season as they have been in years past. They come into tonight's home game with a losing record in conference play, and they lost their last game by a score of 84-76 at Richmond. They have seven wins versus A-10 teams, and all but one of those came against teams that are below them in the standings. They did beat VCU at home back in January, but the Rams simply couldn't make a shot to save their lives in that game. Dayton comes to town as winners of seven straight, and 10 of their last 11. The Flyers have scored an average of 79.2 points on 45.7 percent shooting over their last five games. Davidson has twice as many losses at home as the Flyers do on the road this season, and the Flyers are 5-0 ATS in their last five road games. Take DAY. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-22-17 | Manhattan v. Rider -6 | 82-93 | Win | 100 | 12 h 25 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Rider Broncs.
Rider is coming off it's most impressive result of the season, scoring a whopping 103 points in an upset win at Iona. They play their final home game tonight against bottom feeders Manhattan, and I think this looks like a mismatch. The Jaspers are just 3-11 on the road, and their last two road games were both losses by more than 20 points. They shot just 25 percent from the field in a 78-49 loss at Fairfield on February 1st. Manhattan has scored fewer than 70 points per game on just 40 percent shooting on the road, while the Broncs are averaging over 80 points per game at home. Rider has scored more than 85 points per game on better than 50 percent shooting in it's last five games. The home team should win this one in a route. Take RIDER. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-21-17 | Colorado State +3 v. New Mexico | 68-56 | Win | 100 | 22 h 41 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Colorado State Rams.
The New Mexico Lobos are just 1.5 games out of first place in the Mountain West, but they haven't played particularly well lately. They are 3-3 in their last six games, and one of those losses came at home to San Jose State. The Lobos leading scorer Tim Williams suffered an injury against Nevada at the end of January, and it's no coincidence that they've struggled since. Colorado State comes in tied for first place in the conference (with Nevada and BSU), and the Rams are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. They've won seven of their last eight, with four of those wins coming on the road (at SDSU, at USU, at UNLV and at WYO). Senior forward Emmanuel Omogbo has really elevated his game, averaging 16.8 points and 11.4 rebounds per game in his last five. He scored 19 points and pulled in 16 rebounds in a win at Wyoming last Tuesday. Take CSU. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-21-17 | Indiana v. Iowa -130 | 90-96 | Win | 100 | 12 h 59 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Iowa Hawkeyes 1st Half.
The Indiana Hoosiers come into Iowa as losers of four straight, and six of their last seven. They have lost six of seven road games this season, and have scored an average of just 66.7 points in those games. The Hawkeyes on the other hand are averaging over 85 points per game at home, and they boast a solid home record of 12-4. After beating Ohio State and Nebraska by double digits in it's previous two home games, Iowa was upset by Illinois at home on Saturday. They did take a 29-25 lead to the locker room at halftime in that game. The Hoosiers trailed Minnesota 33-29 at the half in their last game, coming up just short with a rally in the second half. The Hawkeyes are 7-3-1 ATS in their last 11 home games, and they've covered the spread in eight of their last 10 home meetings with Indiana. Take IOWA. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-19-17 | Maryland +7 v. Wisconsin | Top | 60-71 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 21 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Maryland Terrapins.
The Badgers host Maryland Sunday, and the winner of this game will move into a first place tie with Purdue at the top of the BIG10. Wisconsin has only lost one game at home this season, while the Terps have only lost once on the road. The Badgers are coming off back to back losses, and they've failed to cover in four straight. They've been brutal offensively, averaging just 61.8 points on 38.6 percent shooting over their last five games. One reason for their struggles has been an injury to senior guard Bronson Koenig, who didn't play in a 64-58 loss at Michigan Thursday. He was just 1-of-8 from the field, scoring two points in 30 minutes in last Sunday's home loss to Northwestern. Koenig is officially listed as day to day, and might be able to play today. Maryland has won 10 of 13 games in conference play, and their three losses came by an average margin of just three points. They beat the Badgers at Madison last season by a score of 63-60, and they are 10-1-1 ATS in their last 12 games as an underdog. Melo Trimble comes in feeling the hot hand, he scored 32 points on 12-of-17 shooting in a 74-64 win at Northwestern on Wednesday. Take MD. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-17-17 | Idaho v. Eastern Washington -5 | Top | 67-77 | Win | 100 | 20 h 53 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Eastern Washington Eagles.
The Idaho Vandals are coming off a blowout loss (88-65) at North Dakota, falling to 4-8 on the road this season. They face another tough road game tonight, playing at Eastern Washington. They already lost to the Eagles at home earlier this season by a score of 69-62. The Eagles are a dominant team on their home court, with a record of 12-1 this season, and a record of 34-4 over the last three seasons. They score an average of 85.9 points on 49 percent shooting at home, and that's roughly 15 points per game more than the Vandals have averaged on the road. The Eagles won last year's home game against Idaho by a score of 74-60, and they've won their last four home games by an average margin of 12 points. Eastern Washington is coming off it's best defensive showing of the season, holding Northern Colorado to just 44 points on 28.3 percent shooting. I don't expect this game to be close, Eastern Washington should run away with it. Take EWU. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the LAC.
The Clippers appear to have their mojo back, coming into tonight's home game versus Atlanta as winners of three straight on the road. They put on a defensive clinic in an 88-72 win at Utah on Monday. Blake Griffin scored 26 points, pulled in 10 rebounds and dished out six assists, and the Clippers held the Jazz to just 32.2 percent shooting. Both the Clippers and the Hawks rank in the top 10 in the NBA in opponent's scoring, and both teams are coming off impressive defensive performances. Atlanta allowed Portland to score just 97 points in regulation in an overtime win at the Moda Center Monday. These two teams have failed to reach the total in four of the last five meetings at Staples Center, and the under is 16-7-1 in Hawks last 24 versus Western Conference teams. This looks like a let down spot for the visitors, and I expect the Clippers to grind out a win at home against Hawks team that is 1-5 ATS in it's last six versus the Pacific Division. Take LAC.

02-14-17 | Cavs -170 v. Wolves | 116-108 | Win | 100 | 11 h 17 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The Cavs have won five of their last six, scoring an average of over 123 points per game during that span. Three of those wins have come on the road, and they will be a favorite on the road at Minnesota tonight. The T-Wolves have lost five of their last seven, and their wins during that span came against Toronto (without leading scorer DeRozan) and Chicago (without Butler and Wade). The Cavs will be without one of their big three tonight, as Kevin Love is out with a knee injury. The Cavs should be in good shape with Channing Frye stepping in to replace Love. Coincidentally, the last game the Cavs played without Love, was a 125-97 win over Minnesota. Frye scored 18 points in 22 minutes in the victory. Cleveland out-scored the Wolves 62-37 in the second half of that game, and I don't think home court is going to be enough to help Minnesota avoid a sixth straight loss in this series. Take CLE.

02-14-17 | Virginia Tech v. Pittsburgh -180 | 66-63 | Loss | -180 | 10 h 13 m | Show | |
This is a 10* play on the Pittsburgh Panthers.
The Hokies are coming off an 80-78 home win over the #12 ranked Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia Tech is not a good road team at the best of times, but after such a huge upset win, this sets up a clear let down spot. Home court has been a huge advantage in this series, with the home team winning seven of the last eight. The one game that the road team prevailed was a 75-62 Pittsburgh win at Virginia Tech. Pittsburgh is coming off back to back wins, including an impressive 85-80 home win over a hot Syracuse team. Prior to that they gave both Duke and North Carolina a tough test, losing close games at Chapel Hill and Cameron Indoor both by single digits. The Hokies have lost their last three road games by an average margin of 16 points, and they have lost five straight at Pittsburgh since 2001, and four of those losses came by 10 or more points. Take PIT. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Iona Gaels.
Iona has won seven of it's last eight overall, with the only loss during that span coming by just two points versus Siena. Canisius is just 3-3 over it's last six games, suffering home losses to Niagara and Rider during that span. For whatever reason, the Golden Griffins have struggled at home, failing to cover in eight of their last 11 at the Koessler Athletic Center. Iona has no trouble scoring on the road, averaging 81.1 points per game on 44.5 percent shooting. Rebounding has been a huge issue for Canisius, and they were out-rebounded 44-31 by Niagara in their last game. They are averaging fewer than 25 rebounds per game over their last five, and it's tough to win games with those kind of numbers. The Gaels have won seven of the last eight meetings in this series, and two of those win came on the road. I expect that trend to continue here in Buffalo tonight. Take IONA. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-14-17 | Tennessee +14 v. Kentucky | Top | 58-83 | Loss | -110 | 8 h 40 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Tennessee Volunteers.
The Wildcats are just 3-3 in their last six games, and one of those was an 82-80 loss at Tennessee. Kentucky is favored to win the rematch at home, and many bettors will be playing the revenge angle here. I think this line is just far too inflated, especially considering how the Wildcats have struggled in recent weeks. They failed to cover in home games against LSU and Georgia, lost at home to Kansas, and got absolutely crushed at Florida. They have won their last three home games versus the Vols, but not one of those wins came by more than 10 points. Seven of the last 10 meetings between the two teams have been relatively close (10 points or less). Kentucky has struggled defensively over it's last five games, giving up 78.2 points per game on 48.7 percent shooting. The Vols have allowed opponents to average 10 points fewer, with a field goal percentage of just 38.4 percent during that same span. Tennessee has been a good bet on the road, covering the spread in eight of their last 11. I'll take the points. Take TEN. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-13-17 | Warriors v. Nuggets +12 | Top | 110-132 | Win | 100 | 20 h 2 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Denver Nuggets.
The Golden State Warriors are coming off a 130-114 win over the Thunder in Oklahoma City. That game was the second of a back to back, coming off a 122-107 win in Memphis the night before. They will play their third game in four nights on the road in Denver (at altitude) and this game couldn't be any more meaningless for the visitors. This is the ultimate let down spot for Golden State. This team has nothing left to prove to anybody. Kevin Durant scored 34 points in his first game back in Oklahoma City, despite dealing with hostile fans all night long. We don't have to speculate about what the Warriors did after the game, as their party plans are well documented. Durant wanted to rent out the Mahogany Prime Steak House, but was refused. He and his teammates ended up dining with the rest of the restaurant's regular clientele, which includes Russell Westbrook. It could be hard to get up for this game in Denver coming off such a marquee win. The Nuggets have won seven of their last eight home games, and they are battling for the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. Denver has covered the spread in six of their last eight versus Golden State, and they look good getting a double digit spread here tonight. Take DEN. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-11-17 | Warriors v. Thunder +7.5 | Top | 130-114 | Loss | -110 | 13 h 53 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on OKC. The Golden State Warriors visit the Thunder Saturday, in Kevin Durant's first game back at Oklahoma City. This will be the third meeting this season, and the Warriors won the previous two at home. Both of those games were high scoring, but neither game reached the inflated total. Once again the bookmakers are calling for a shootout, with another inflated number. These teams have failed to reach the total in four straight meetings, and the under is 8-2 in the last 10 meetings. This is a huge game for both teams, and we should see both sides giving 100 percent on both offense and defense. The Warriors have gone under in 19 of their last 26 road games, while the Thunder have failed to reach the total in five of their last seven home games versus a team with a winning record. The Warriors dominated the first two meetings, and Kevin Durant went off for 39 and 40 points (his two highest totals of the season). Playing on back to back nights, and dealing with all the emotions, I could see Durant struggling in tonight's game. He's hired additional security for this game, and that in itself may suggest his mind is on more than just basketball. The Warriors are just 1-5-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Oklahoma City. Take OKC. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-11-17 | Oklahoma +9.5 v. Iowa State | Top | 64-80 | Loss | -110 | 12 h 36 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Oklahoma Sooners have lost six straight, and they are at the bottom of the BIG12 standings with a record of 2-9 within conference. With all the losses piling up, it's easy to forget just how competitive this team has actually been. Their last win came on the road at West Virginia by a score of 89-87. Since then, they've lost by just one point at Texas, and by two points at home versus Oklahoma State. Both of those games were decided by buzzer beaters. A home loss to Iowa State came by a score of 92-87 in double overtime. The Sooners were actually a two point favorite in that game, which means we see a 11.5 point swing in the rematch just three weeks later. These two teams have a history of playing close games, as each of the last five meetings have been decided by five points or less. Nine of the last 10 meetings have been decided by seven points or less, and neither team has been favored by more than 7.5 points in each of the last 10 meetings dating back to 2013. The Sooners are 7-2-2 ATS in their last 11 games as an underdog of 7.0-12.5, and the line in this revenge game appears to be grossly inflated. Take OKLA. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Milwaukee Bucks.
The Lakers come into Milwaukee as losers of six of their last seven road games, and they've lost five straight at the Bradley Center. The Bucks are coming off a blowout loss to Miami, but the Heat have been beating everybody. Miami has won 12 straight, and during that span they beat both Golden State and Houston. The Bucks are just two games back of the Pistons who occupy the eighth and final playoff spot in the East, while the Lakers are in the middle of a rebuild, looking toward the future. This is a big game for Milwaukee, not so much for the visitors. The Bucks are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games versus LA, and they have a .500 record at home. The Lakers are just 6-24 on the road, and they've failed to cover in six of their last seven when playing on one day's rest. Take MIL. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Miami Hurricanes.
The Hurricanes will host Virginia Tech tonight, and both teams are 5-5 in conference play. Virginia Tech actually has a better record at 16-6, but the Hokies have been blown out in three of their last four road games. The only exception during that span was a one-point win at Clemson. Miami has won three of it's last four, and that includes a double-digit home win over the #9 ranked Tar Heels. They have played exceptional defense at home, holding opponents to just 61.9 points per game on 38.1 percent shooting. The Hokies are allowing opponents to average over 85 points on better than 50 percent shooting while losing four of six road games. The Hurricanes are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. I don't think the Hokies have what it takes to hang with the Hurricanes in Miami. Take MIA. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-08-17 | Raptors -150 v. Wolves | Top | 109-112 | Loss | -150 | 14 h 4 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on the Toronto Raptors.
The Raptors had lost eight of 10 before putting together back to back wins. They really missed leading scorer DeMar DeRozan who missed eight games during that span with an ankle injury. DeRozan returned to score 31 points on 11-of-22 shooting in a win over the Clippers on Monday, and he's expected to be back to 100 percent moving forward. Toronto will play on the road at Minnesota tonight, and the Wolves have lost four straight. This T-Wolves team is still young, and has a long way to go before it can expect to be playing in the post-season. The Raptors have won nine of the last 10 meetings between the two teams, and that includes three wins at Minnesota. Toronto has a winning record on the road this season, and is 9-2 ATS in it's last 11 at the Target Center. Zach Lavine's season ending injury has taken the wind out of the sails of this Minnesota team. He was averaging over 18 points per game, and led the team playing 37.2 minutes per game. Take TOR.

The Denver Nuggets currently occupy the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference, but they are going to be hard pressed to keep it. They are in Atlanta tonight, and the Hawks have won five of the last six meetings between the two teams. Atlanta is coming off a home loss to Utah, but the Hawks are just a half a game back of Washington for the top spot in the Southeast Division. Denver is just 3-9 ATS in it's last 12 visits to Atlanta, and they've lost their last two games in Atlanta by a combined 30 points. The Nuggets leading scorer Danilo Gallinari remains out of the lineup with a groin strain, and Kenneth Faried and Emmanuel Mudiay are both banged up. The Nuggets are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. Take ATL. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans have a losing record at home (13-14 overall), but they have won seven of their last 11 home games. During that span they beat the Spurs, Clippers and Cavs. They host Phoenix Monday, and the Suns have lost six of their last seven overall. Their last five losses have all come by a double digit margin, and they have failed to cover the spread in five of their last six overall. Anthony Davis has been banged up all year, but he's played through various injuries, and continues to dominate. He's averaged over 25 points and 15 rebounds over his last five games. They Suns have allowed opponents to average over 112 points per game, only Brooklyn ranks worse. The Bucks scored a whopping 137 points on 63.4 percent shooting, handing Phoenix a 137-112 home loss on Saturday. The worst team in the Western Conference is unlikely to provide much of a challenge to New Orleans team that is just 3.5 games out of a playoff spot. Take N.O. GL, Jesse Schule |

They had lost back to back road games prior to that, by a combined margin of 43 points. Now they head to Wisconsin, where the Badgers have won 18 straight. Wisconsin has beaten up opponents at home, winning their last four home games by an average margin of more than 15 points. The Hoosiers are in a tough spot, missing a pair of key players (OG Anunoby and James Blackmon). The Hoosiers are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 7.0-12.5. The Badgers on the other hand have covered the spread in four of their last five as a home favorite. This looks like a mismatch of epic proportions.Take WIS. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Oklahoma Sooners.
Oklahoma has had some bad luck this season. The Sooners have lost four straight, and eight of their last 10. Their leading scorer Jordan Woodard has been battling injury and illness during that span, but despite all the adversity, they've still been quite competitive. Three of four losses on their current losing streak came in games decided by five points or less. They have covered the spread in six of their last eight versus BIG12 teams, and they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog of 0.5-6.5. Texas Tech hasn't looked that great, failing to cover in six of it's last eight overall. The Red Raiders are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 home games versus a team with a losing road record. Jordan Woodard no longer appears on the Sooners injury report, and if he's healthy the Sooners might just be a threat to win this game outright. Take OKLA. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on the Utah Utes. Stanford has lost seven of 10 games in conference play, and it's last game was a home loss to Colorado. The Cardinal will have a tough time at home Saturday, hosting Utah. The Utes have won three of the last four meetings in this series, and Stanford's one win came in overtime. Utah hasn't had much trouble winning on the road, especially against the weaker teams in the conference. The Utes have wins at Washington, Washington State and Arizona State. The Utes come in averaging 82 points per game on 53 percent shooting in their last five games, and three of those were on the road. Stanford has scored an average of just 63.8 points per game during that same span. The Cardinal are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine home games, and I don't think they'll be able to handle Utah in this matchup. Take UTAH. GL, Jesse Schule |

The Hoyas come into Saturday's home game versus Seton Hall off three straight wins. That includes a home win over Creighton, and an upset win at Butler, handing the Bulldogs their first home loss of the season. Georgetown is playing it's best basketball, scoring 72.6 points on 49.8 percent shooting in it's last five games. The Pirates have lost five of their last six overall, and they have lost six of seven road games this season. In their last game at Xavier, they struggled from the free throw line hitting just 6-of-12. They are shooting just 58 percent from the charity stripe on the road, and that's going to make it tough to steal a game here at Georgetown, when the Hoyas are hitting better than 73 percent at the line at home. The Hoyas have held opponents to an average of 39 percent shooting at home this season. Take GTWN. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-03-17 | Raptors -185 v. Magic | 94-102 | Loss | -185 | 8 h 9 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on the Raptors (1st half). The Raptors are slumping, coming into tonight's game as losers of seven of their last nine overall. They have slipped into second place in the Atlantic Division, a game and a half back of Boston. They played well in a losing effort at Boston in their last game, in fact they led 62-51 at halftime. They lost at home by a score of 114-113 to Orlando last Sunday, and that sets up a revenge spot as the Raptors look to return the favor in Orlando. The Magic have lost five of their last six overall, and they've lost five of their last six home games against the Raptors. Orlando is 5-16-1 ATS in it's last 22 home games, and has failed to cover in 10 of it's last 13 when playing on one day's rest. This game should mean a lot more to the visitors, and I expect to see the Raptors jump out to a fast start. |

This is a 10* play on the Elon Phoenix.
Elon has won four straight, and sits third in the CAA behind Charleston and UNC Wilmington. They will host bottom feeders James Madison tonight, and the Dukes have lost six of their last seven overall. They are just 2-10 on the road, and they've scored an average of just 64.1 points on 42.7 percent shooting in those games. That's 15 points less than Elon has averaged at home. When looking at these teams overall records, and season averages, it's important to note that Elon played a far tougher non-conference schedule with games against teams like Duke and Georgetown. This is a revenge game for Elon, who lost by just one points at James Madison earlier in the year. Yohanny Delambert scored 15 points, and dominated the boards with 17 rebounds for the Dukes in that game. He's since suffered a season ending injury, and they've really missed him. Take ELON.

This is a 10* play on UNLV.
This is a revenge spot for New Mexico after losing at home to the Rebels by a score of 71-66 earlier this year. The Lobos might be hard pressed to earn a better result here tonight though, coming off a blowout loss to Nevada. Not only did they lose that game by 17 points, they also lost a pair of starters to injury. Most notable is leading scorer Tim Williams, who is out indefinitely with a foot injury. Sophomore guard Dane Kuiper suffered a concussion in the loss to Nevada, and he's expected to be out at least a couple weeks. Kuiper had a team high 17 points in the loss to the Rebels earlier this year. The Rebels are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games, and they should be able to get it done against a shorthanded opponent tonight. Take UNLV. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Baylor Bears.
The #2 ranked Baylor Bears will take on the #3 ranked Jayhawks in Kansas tonight, and if anyone is going to end KU's 12 year reign at the top of the BIG12, it will probably be Baylor. This game reminds me a lot of last year's thriller when Oklahoma came to Lawrence, and lost 109-106 after three overtimes. The Sooners were ranked #2 at the time, and Kansas was ranked #1. This appears to be a difficult spot for the home team, coming off an emotional upset win at Kentucky. The Bears have only lost one game all year, and they haven't had any trouble winning on the road. They are 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 road games, and the road team is 18-7-1 in the last 26 meetings in this series. The Jayhawks have only covered twice in their last eight games as a favorite, and I expect them to struggle with a tough opponent here in such a huge game for both teams. I'll take the points. Take BAY. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is a 10* play on the Miami Hurricanes.
The Seminoles jumped out to an early lead in the ACC Standings, much thanks to a favorable schedule playing five of their first seven games at home. They come into Miami tonight off back to back losses (@Syracuse and @Georgia Tech). They have lost three of four road games overall, and they are 3-8 ATS in their last 11 road games. The Hurricanes are 10-1 at home, coming off a 77-62 home win over #9 ranked North Carolina. The Hurricanes have won three straight in this series, and four of their last five home meetings versus FSU. This looks like a tough game for the visitors to get back on track, and I think this FSU team might still be a little overrated. Miami has been a strong bet at home, going 20-7-1 ATS in their last 28 games as a home favorite of 0.5-6.5. Take MIA. GL, Jesse Schule |

02-01-17 | Georgia Tech +10 v. Clemson | Top | 62-74 | Loss | -108 | 11 h 35 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Georgia Tech.
Clemson is asked to cover a double digit spread at home versus Georgia Tech tonight, despite a history of close battles with this conference rival. Three of Clemson's last four home games against the Yellow Jackets have been decided in overtime, and six of the last 10 meetings between the two teams have been decided by less than five points. The Yellow Jackets are coming off back to back home wins over ranked teams (Notre Dame and Florida State). They were blown out in road losses at Virginia and Duke, but they've won two of their last three road games against unranked teams, with the one loss coming by a single point at Virginia Tech. Clemson lost 75-63 at Georgia Tech earlier this season, and the road team is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 meetings in this series. It sure seems like a tough ask for the Tigers to cover this inflated number. Take GT. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on CHA@POR to go OVER the total.
The Hornets are reeling, coming into Portland off four straight losses. Starting center Cody Zeller has missed all four of those games due to injury, and Charlotte has lost nine of 10 games without Zeller this season. They've struggled on defense in his absence, allowing over 110 points per game during their current losing skid. The Blazers have been a major disappointment this season, but they've won three of their last four, scoring an average of over 113 points in those games. The one loss came by just two points to defending Western Conference champs Golden State. Portland has won five straight home meetings with the Hornets, scoring an average of 115 points in those games. The over is 6-1 in the Blazers last seven versus teams with a losing record. Take OVER.

The Fighting Illini are just 3-6 in conference play, but five of those six losses have come on the road. Their only home loss during conference play, came by just six points against BIG10 leaders Maryland. They are 10-2 overall at home, and they've averaged 80.5 points on 49.2 percent shooting in those games. Wisconsin is 3-2 on the road, but it's last road game was just a 78-76 win at Minnesota. They needed overtime to avoid a home upset to Rutgers on Saturday, and I think they might have a tough game on their hands in Illinois. The Fighting Illini have already beaten Michigan, Iowa and Ohio State at home, and they are 6-1 ATS in their last seven home games. Wisconsin has covered the spread in nine of the last 10 in this series, but in their last four games at Illinois they were favored by -3, -4, -1.5 and -1.5. They are asked to cover a far bigger number here, and I'll take the points. Take ILL. GL, Jesse Schule |

This is an 8* play on SAC@HOU to go OVER the total.
The Kings came up just short in a 122-119 loss at Philly last night, but DeMarcus Cousins continued his extraordinary play, scoring a whopping 45 points and pulling in 15 rebounds. Cousins scored 35 points in Saturday's win at Charlotte, and that was the second game of a back to back for the Kings. Sacramento has scored an average of 112 points per game over their last five (all on the road). It's going to take plenty of points to keep up with the Rockets in Houston tonight. The Rockets rank 2nd in the NBA averaging over 114 points per game. Houston defeated Sacramento 132-98 at home back in December, and six of the last eight meetings between these two teams have gone over the total. Neither of these two teams are too keen on playing defense, and they should both be content to play a fast pace high scoring game in Houston tonight. Take OVER. GL, Jesse Schule |

The #17 ranked Terrapins come into Columbus as winners of six straight, and they are 7-1 in conference play. They've picked up road wins at Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, but they are an underdog here against the Buckeyes. Ohio State isn't exactly playing great right now, coming off a blowout loss at Iowa. The Hawkeyes won 85-72, despite missing their leading scorer Peter Jok who sat out with a sore back. The Buckeyes are just 3-6 versus BIG10 teams, and that includes home losses to Purdue and Northwestern. Maryland won both meetings last year, winning 66-61 at Columbus in the last meeting. Ohio State has played four ranked teams so far, losing all four of those games. They show now signs of being able to knock off a top 25 team, not even at home. Take MD. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-31-17 | Creighton v. Butler -6.5 | Top | 76-67 | Loss | -110 | 17 h 3 m | Show |
This is a 10* play on Butler.
This is a revenge game for the Bulldogs, after getting hammered at Creighton earlier this season by a score of 75-64. The Blue Jays are short-handed this time around, losing guard Maurice Watson Jr for the rest of the season. He led all scorers with 21 points on 9-of-14 shooting in the last meeting between these two teams. Without him the Jays have struggled, losing at home to Marquette, and on the road at Georgetown. They beat DePaul at home on Saturday, but playing on the road at Butler is a whole different ball game. The Bulldogs are 11-1 at home, and looking to bounce back after suffering their first home loss to Georgetown on Saturday. The Hoyas were simply shooting out the lights in that game, hitting 63.8 percent from the field, and 50 percent from beyond the arc. The home team has covered in four straight in this series, and Butler is 5-1 ATS in it's last six home games. I'll take the home favorite. Take BUT. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-29-17 | Indiana v. Northwestern -6.5 | 55-68 | Win | 100 | 8 h 3 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Northwestern.
The Wildcats are just one game out of first place in the BIG10, and they host the Indiana Hoosiers in a huge game this Sunday. The Hoosiers are reeling, coming off a 30-point loss to Michigan at Ann Arbor. Indiana has lost it's leading scorer James Blackmon after he suffered a leg injury in the loss to Michigan. They were already shorthanded after losing OG Anunoby for the rest of the season with a knee injury. Northwestern is 11-1 at home this season, scoring an average of 79.1 points on 45 percent shooting in those games. That's 10 points more than the Hoosiers are averaging on the road, and they've lost three of their four away games. The Widcats have covered the spread in eight of their last 10 home games, and they are 18-6 ATS in their last 24 versus Indiana. The Hoosiers are 0-5 ATS in their last five games as a road underdog of more than six points. Take NW. GL, Jesse Schule |

01-29-17 | Michigan v. Michigan State -130 | 62-70 | Win | 100 | 2 h 19 m | Show | |
This is an 8* play on Michigan State 1st half. The Wolverines are coming off a blowout win at home against a banged up Indiana team, and I think they could suffer a let down here against Sparty at East Lansing. The Spartans should be hungry, coming off three straight losses. Two of those defeats came on the road (@Osu and @IND), and they lost at home to #20 ranked Purdue in their last game. It was only their second loss in 11 home games this season, and they have covered in their last four home games as a favorite. Michigan is still looking for it's first road win, losing all five away games and failing to cover in four of those five losses. The Wolverines have been brutal defensively in those games, giving up over 80 points per game. I like the home team to earn a much needed victory here in this battle between two BIG10 rivals.
Take SPARTY. GL, Jesse Schule |
