Wednesday's NIT Quarterfinals: What bettors need to know

Iowa Hawkeyes at Virginia Cavaliers (-4, 123)

Virginia found itself on the doorstep of playing in Madison Square Garden at the start of the season, but a surprising setback dashed its hopes. The Cavaliers haven’t lost at home since and can guarantee themselves a visit to the “world’s most famous arena” as well as a spot in the National Invitation Tournament’s Final Four in New York next week with another such victory on Wednesday over Iowa. Virginia missed its first chance at playing at MSG on Nov. 13 when it suffered its lone home loss on Nov. 13 to Delaware in the NIT Season Tip-Off tournament.

Virginia has since rolled off 19 consecutive victories at John Paul Jones Arena, including double-digit wins over Norfolk State and St. John’s in its first two games in this event. The Hawkeyes, who have won nine of their last 12 contests, represent the final hurdle for the Cavaliers. Iowa has been every bit as impressive in the first two rounds of the NIT, registering a pair of double-digit home wins over Indiana State and Stony Brook.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2

ABOUT IOWA (23-12, 22-9-0 ATS): One of the most important factors in the Hawkeyes’ finish has been the strong play of leading scorer Roy Devyn Marble (14.8 points). Marble missed one contest and averaged a mere 7.3 points in the seven subsequent games following an ankle sprain during practice on Jan. 7, but is averaging 18.3 since. In the team’s NIT victories, Marble is averaging 26 points, 5.5 assists and one turnover. "He is making plays and not turning the ball over," Iowa coach Fran McCaffery told the team’s website. "He's very unselfish and scoring a lot more. It seems to be having a comforting effect as everyone around him feels good (when he has) the ball.”

ABOUT VIRGINIA (23-11, 18-12-1 ATS): First-year players combined to score 46 of the Cavaliers’ 68 points in Sunday’s victory over St. John’s. Both Justin Anderson (18) and fellow freshman Taylor Barnette (13) secured career-high point totals – necessary performances considering leading scorer Joe Harris was held to seven points, 9.4 below his season average. “I thought the first-years really gave us a lift and played very good basketball. That was pivotal in this game,” Virginia coach Tony Bennett told the team's website. Junior Akil Mitchell grabbed nine rebounds against the Red Storm to give him 305 for the season, marking only the eighth time a Cavalier has reached the 300-rebound mark.

TRENDS:

* Hawkeyes are 0-4 ATS in their last four vs. Atlantic Coast.
* Cavaliers are 6-2 ATS in their last eight vs. Big Ten.
* Under is 7-3 in Hawkeyes' last 10 overall.

TIP-INS:

1. Iowa ranks third in the Big Ten in scoring (70.4 points) while Virginia possesses the fourth-best scoring defense in the country (55).

2. The Cavaliers’ 20 home wins is a single-season school record.

3. The winner of this contest will meet either Alabama or Maryland in the NIT semifinals.

BYU Cougars at Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles (-5.5, 151)

Brigham Young has bounced back nicely from a shocking 72-69 loss to San Diego in the quarterfinals of the West Coast Conference tournament with impressive back-to-back home wins over Washington (90-79) and Mercer (90-71). The Cougars, playing in their 11th National Invitation Tournament, improved to 14-8 all-time in that tourney with Monday night's win over the Bears. BYU won the NIT in both 1951 and 1966 but is making its first appearance in the event since 2006.

Southern Mississippi, the top seed in its portion of the bracket, is playing in its ninth NIT and won the event in 1987. The Golden Eagles, who have won five of their last six games, defeated Charleston Southern (78-71) and Louisiana Tech (63-52) in the first two rounds in Hattiesburg, Miss., increasing their school-record home win streak in non-conference games to 30. Southern Miss is 4-1 all-time in NIT home games and is 53-6 at Reed Green Coliseum since 2009. The winner will face Baylor or Providence in the semifinals in New York City on April 2.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, ESPNU

ABOUT BRIGHAM YOUNG (23-11, 15-17-1 ATS): The Cougars have been looking to redeem themselves following their early exit in the WCC tourney and seemed to have found their shooting touch in the process, scoring 90 points in back-to-back games. "The disappointment of the conference tournament was real to our players," BYU coach Dave Rose told the Deseret News. "They really feel excited about this opportunity to continue to play, and not finish with the note we had there. It's good to see. They're playing with a lot of togetherness." Guard Tyler Haws, who scored a school NIT record 37 points in the opening win over Washington, leads the team in scoring (21.5) and has connected on 38.5 percent of his 3-point tries while 6-9 senior Brandon Davies, who had 26 points and 10 rebounds against Mercer, is averaging 18 points and 7.9 rebounds. Sophomore guard Matt Carlino, who began his career at UCLA, has been a big offensive key in the first two NIT games averaging 19 points, nine assists and 6.5 rebounds.

ABOUT SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI (27-9, 16-16-1 ATS): The Golden Eagles, unlike BYU, won't blow teams away with their offensive stats but make up for it on the defensive end. Southern Miss averages 9.8 steals per game - which ranks fourth in the nation - and, despite not having a starter taller than 6-7, led Conference USA in rebounding margin (plus-5.8). The Golden Eagles, who outrebounded 26 opponents this season, finished with a 44-22 edge in points in the paint in Monday night's win over Louisiana Tech and grabbed 13 offensive rebounds. "They were tremendous defensively," Louisiana Tech coach Michael White said. "Their zone was terrific. They did a good job of limiting our penetration." Senior forward Dwayne Davis (16.3) and junior guard Jerrold Brooks (10.8) are the only players to score in double figures for well-balanced Southern Miss, which has six players averaging 8.4 points or more.

TRENDS:

* Cougars are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 road games.
* Golden Eagles are 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 games overall.
* Over is 25-9-1 in Golden Eagles last 35 overall.

TIP-INS:

1. Haws, who has scored 20 or more points in 23 games this season, now has 1,127 career points and is one of two sophomores in school history to reach 1,000 points in a career. The other was Danny Ainge.

2. Carlino has connected on 9-of-18 3-point attempts in the NIT, many from well beyond the arc.

3. Southern Miss PG Neil Watson broke the school single-season record with 63 steals this season, topping the old mark of 59 set by Casey Fisher in 1985-86.

Providence Friars at Baylor Bears (-9, 147)

Two of the top backcourt players still remaining in the NIT will try to push their teams through to the semifinals when second-seeded Baylor hosts No. 4 Providence on Wednesday. Baylor senior point guard Pierre Jackson averages 19.7 points and 6.7 assists. He put up 26 points and a career-high 16 assists in Friday’s 89-86 win against visiting Arizona State. Providence junior Bryce Cotton does less ball-handling than Jackson but just as much scoring, averaging 19.6 points. Cotton is averaging 22.5 points through the first two games of the tournament.

The player responsible for distributing the ball for Providence is senior point guard Vincent Council, who is averaging 10 points and seven assists. He’s also coming off a double-double in the second round, finishing with 12 points and 10 assists in a 77-68 win Monday against visiting Robert Morris. The four-year starter is shooting 33.6 percent, however, the lowest mark of his career.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN2.

ABOUT PROVIDENCE (19-14, 16-12-1 ATS): The Friars need to find a way to slow the high-scoring Bears and a good start would be winning the rebounding battle. Providence is ranked 38th in the nation in rebounding (37.8) and Baylor is 41st (37.7). Kadeem Batts and LaDontae Henton are the key figures in the middle for the Friars. Batts, a 6-10 junior forward, averages 14.7 points and 7.2 rebounds and Henton, a 6-6 sophomore forward, is averaging 13.4 points and 8.3 rebounds. Both players struggled with foul trouble in the win against Robert Morris, so keeping them on the floor will be vital for Providence.

ABOUT BAYLOR (20-14, 14-15-0 ATS): The Bears will counter down low with 7-1 freshman center Isaiah Austin and 6-9 junior forward Cory Jefferson. Like Batts and Henton, they lead their team in rebounding while also ranking second and third in scoring. Austin is averaging 13.2 points and 8.5 rebounds, while Jefferson comes in at 12.4 points and 8.2 rebounds. Austin has shown signs of having heavy legs, however. He has recorded double digits in rebounding once in the last 11 games after hitting that mark 12 times in his first 21. Jefferson has been an offensive roll lately, shooting 30-for-41 in the last four games.

TRENDS:

* Friars are 0-5 ATS in their last five vs. Big 12.
* Over is 4-1 in Bears' last five non-conference games.
* Over is 15-7 in Friars' last 22 overall.

TIP-INS:

1. Baylor will be trying to win at least three postseason games for the fourth time in the last five seasons. The Bears advanced to the NIT finals in 2009 and the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight in 2010 and 2012, losing to the eventual champion each time.

2. Providence is ranked 260th out of 292 teams in 3-point shooting (31.3). The only player for the Friars shooting better than 30 percent from beyond the arc is Cotton (36.8).

3. The winner will play top-seeded Southern Mississippi or third-seeded BYU in the semifinals April 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York.

NBA Underdogs Produce a Big Week for Bettors

The NCAA tournament isn’t the only place where underdogs shine.

While hoops bettors are enthralled with the likes of Florida Gulf Coast, La Salle and Wichita State this March, NBA underdogs have turned a pretty profit over the past week going 32-18 ATS heading into Tuesday's schedule.

Here are three dogs that have succeeded against the spread and three faves that have failed in the past week.

Super Underdogs

New Orleans Hornets (3-0 ATS as dogs)

It has been a good week at home for the Hornets. ATS and SU wins vs quality opposition which includes Boston, Memphis and Denver with covers of +4.5, +6 and +7.5, respectively. Defense has been key during this three-game stretch for New Orleans. They have held the opposition to an average of 85 points per game in the three contests.

Utah Jazz (3-0 ATS as dogs)

Utah is one of the worst road teams in the league and the lines have reflected that. But over the past seven days they have managed to cover the spread during a Texas road trip. The Jazz successfully covered in Houston, San Antonio and Dallas before heading home last night, where they also covered as 7.5-point favorites versus Philadelphia.

Atlanta Hawks (2-0 ATS as dogs)

Atlanta posted a 2-0 ATS record as road underdogs this week against Central Division opponents Milwaukee and Indiana. The Hawks have the third best ATS record in the league at 20-16. The road trip continues this week with games in Toronto on Wednesday and Boston on Friday.

Failing Faves

Memphis Grizzlies (0-4 ATS as faves)

Memphis was favored in four games and they failed to cover all of them. It was a bit of a crazy schedule for the Grizz: at home to OKC, on the road to NO, back home to Boston, and most recently on the road to Washington. Their scorelines reflect a tired team. Memphis boasts the second best points allowed defense at 89.7 ppg, but opponents averaged 98 ppg during the ATS slump.

Denver Nuggets (0-3 ATS as faves)

Denver was sorry as a favorite despite posting a franchise record 15-0 winning streak. The aforementioned Hornets brought said streak to a screeching halt last night, adding to Denver's woes as faves. Gaudy lines at home against Philadelphia (-14.5) and Sacramento (-11) were a reflection of their previous dominance SU and ATS.

Sacramento Kings (0-2 ATS as faves)

The Kings are not favorites very often and these two most recent home games show us why. Lowly opponents Minnesota and Philadelphia came to town and, despite splitting the pair SU, the Kings failed to cover and disappointed bettors.

Chip Chirimbes NIT GAME OF THE YEAR
IOWA Hawkeyes + over Cavaliers-
Virginia opened their season in the NIT Season Tip-off tournament and were in this same position as they were one win away from playing at Madison Square Garden and were defeated by Delaware. That game was at a neutral site although considered a 'home' game for Virginia. Since then the Cavaliers have won 19 straight (14-4-1 ATS) as hosts including wins over lowly Norfolk State and St. John's. The Iowa Hawkeyes are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 games overall and have won nine of their last 12 games including double-digit wins in both NIT match-up. Take the points as this one comes down to the final buzzer. Take IOWA!

BIG AL's 100% PERFECT CBI TOURNEY GAME OF THE YEAR!


Game Date/Time: 3/27/13 7:00 pm
Our Selection: George Mason Opponent: W. Michigan Line: -5 Rating: 3*
Analysis: At 7 pm, our selection is on the George Mason Patriots minus the points over Western Michigan. In their last game, the Patriots failed to cover vs. Houston, in an 88-84 win, while Western Michigan upset Wyoming 75-67 as a 6-point road underdog. But those two results set up our play tonight, as NIT/CIT/CBI tourney teams, priced from -3 to -7 points at Round 3 forward, are an awesome 11-0 ATS since 1992 off an ATS loss, if they're playing an opponent off a 7-point (or greater) win. Throw in the facts that Western Michigan is a subpar 36-49 ATS as a road underdog, and George Mason is 32-21 ATS as home favorites off back to back wins, and we have all the ammunition to pull the trigger on the Patriots tonight. Lay the points.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball


17-8 Run, 3-1 Run, 17-10 in March Madness this year. We have hit above 60% this year as well in March Madness as we hit 61% last year and are working hard towards to hit around 66% in March this year. Let's keep rolling with our 1 POD System.

7-Unit Play. #782. Take Southern Miss -6 over BYU (Wednesday @ 8pm est).

Southern Miss will be up to play BYU much more than BYU up to play Southern Miss. Southern Miss is the one seed in this tournament and rightfully so as this team is a top 60 team coached by Donnie Tyndall and they were basically a bucket away from playing in the NCAA Tournament giving Memphis all they can handle. This team has won 27 games this year and is highly athletic which is why they lost to Memphis in double overtime, lost to Arizona by 8 on the road and lost to New Mexico State by 8 on the road. This is the same team that beat Georgia on the road as well and just beat a good Louisiana Tech team by 11 on the road with revenge. Bringham Young is has had a good season this year and they come off a big win against Mercer at home by 19 points. But, this is the same team that lost to FSU by 18 on a down year for the Seminoles, lost to Iowa State by 21 and San Diego a top 200 team by 3 points in the conference tournament. This team is still very young outside of Davies who is their key senior. Southern Miss has a veteran team of upperclassman that are seniors and juniors such as Dwayne Davis, Michael Craig, Boardingham, Carey, Watson, Brooks and others. This game means something for this team to increase the visibility of this squad going to Madison Square Garden and to help in recruitment. I like Southern Miss to have a solid crowd at home here with about 8,000 fans in a relatively tight gym that will be loud to cheer on their Eagles. The Cougars have shown they can struggle on the road and they are 4-12 ATS in their last 16 road games and the Golden Eagles are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games when facing a team with a losing road record.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

4-Unit Play. #775. Take Sacramento Kings +9 over Golden State Warriors (Wednesday @ 10:35pm est).

The Kings have revenge against the Warriors over the last couple games. You have a Kings team that despite the Warriors having revenge from the Kings beating them twice this year, they only beat them by 4 points at home. In a way, its hard for the Warriors to get up for the Kings when they are focused on beating the better teams in the league and making a name for themselves as the new kid in the block so to speak. The Kings come off a bad loss to the Sixers at home by 14 and this was after only losing to the Nuggets on the road by 6 points. Remember, the Kings also beat the Clippers at home recently as well by 15 and the Bulls by around 40 points at home. This is a team that is young, getting better and gaining confidence and they have continued to matchup and play well against the Warriors. The Warriors come off a big win over the Lakers as it was emotional with a lot of words being exchanged between Coach Jackson, David Lee, Dwight and others. Look for the Warriors to have a bit of an emotional let down, the Kings with revenge and the Kings on the bounce-back today to make the difference in what will likely be a relatively close game this evening.

Lean: San Antonio

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey


4-Unit Play. #56. Take Over 5 Goals San Jose vs. Anaheim (Wednesday @ 10:05pm est).

San Jose and Anaheim just met and the final score was 5-3 Anaheim on the road. Combine that with the fact the last two times these two teams hooked up, the score has been 5-3 as well which goes to show that the offensive for both these squads have no trouble scoring goals. With 8 goals the last two times these two teams have played this year in effect, I wouldn't be surprised if this contest is also of similar pace. Anaheim has lost 3 straight coming into this game and they will be focused on doing well and combine that with San Jose who returns home after a long 5 game road trip and they will be ready to do well at home as well. With Anaheim with recent revenge, San Jose at home, and given the past results between these two teams, don't be surprised to see another over today. The Over is 7-1-3 for the Sharks when they play a Western Conference team and the Over is 4-1 for the Ducks when they play Western Conference teams of late as well.

Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey
2-Unit Pick Take #56 San Jose (-1.20) over Anaheim (10pm, Wednesday, March 27th)
Anaheim might be happy to see the road after losing their last three games their to Detroit twice and San Jose on Sunday Monday night 5-3, before those three losses the Ducks had won 13 straight at home. It is now or never for San Jose to make a move in the standings, this team for whatever reason has underachieved this year while in my opinion the Ducks aren't as good as a hockey team as their start would suggest. I think Anaheim biggest hole down the stretch into the playoff run will be the goalie position. Tonight will mark the fourth time these two have played with the Ducks losing two of the first three so far that including losing in San Jose earlier in the year when the Sharks were a -1.60 home favorite, while I would think that that line tonight would be two high I think a adjustment of forty cents is too much especially with the Ducks playing their fifth game in seven day's. Take the Sharks in a big game

BIG AL's SUPER 111-63 ATS NIT TOURNEY ELITE INFO!

At 7 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Cavaliers minus the points over Iowa, as Iowa falls into negative 26-65, 100-174 and 63-111 ATS systems of mine. Let's take a look at our 111-63 ATS angle. What we want to do is play against a road team off 7 or more ATS wins, if it's not favored by more than 3 points. The reason this works is two-fold. First, we get line value by going against a 'hot' team which has covered a lot of games in a row. And second, it's difficult for such teams to maintain these streaks on the road in hostile environments, and especially when matched up against an opponent that is, at the least, competitive with it. With Iowa in off 8 straight covers, and installed as a road dog, we'll fade the Hawkeyes tonight. Look for Virginia to blow out Iowa. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

NBA - 771 Denver Nuggets @ 772 San Antonio Spurs




Projected Line: 204 points





We are in front of two teams who are playing below their potential on their last few games. They have been winning most of them, but there's something missing in both teaÍms. San Antonio has been missing some consistency on offense. Tony Parker has returned to the lineup, but he isn't at 100% physically right now:




"I'm going to do my best to get back to 100 percent" Tony Parker said.




Tim Duncan has been simply amazing, but the Spurs's second unit has been surprisingly struggling as of late. The good news if that the Spurs have regrouped on defense against their awful defensive game against the Cavaliers, as they had defensive ratings of 101.33, 94.18 and 106.52 on their last three games against Golden State, Utah and Houston: good offensive teams!




On the other side, Denver's offensive machine is also struggling with consistency. Without Ty Lawson, the Nuggets lose their fastest player, their best dribble penetrator and their best outside shooter. Andre Miller is a good floor general, but he is a veteran and so, he is much slower than Lawson. Denver's outside shooting has been very inconsistent as well, as they are very predictable on offense without Lawson and so, San Antonio should be able to do a good defensive job today. The only problem the Spurs's defense has been having lately is on their 3pts defense with 45.2% 3pts allowed on their last 10 games, but Denver isn't a good outside shooting team. On the other hand, Denver's defense has been an elite unit on their last 10 games, excluding their last game in New Orleans, where they came out flat and with no energy. The Spurs's offense has been very inconsistent lately and so, I expect Denver to perform a good defensive bounce back today. Therefore, I don't expect this game to be similar to the first two games between these two teams this season that had 226 and 218 points. I expect a relatively low scoring game in here and so, I'll be taking the Under.

Projected Lines: Charlotte by 6 points





This game might actually be a fun one to watch! Orlando is now playing without Nikola Vucevic and so, they are playing super small small. They are coming from a home loss against Miami, where Jameer Nelson and Beno Udrih played together on the backcourt for almost 40 minutes! The Magic had 31% volume on spot ups, 14% volume on transitions and 20% volume on isolations against the Heat, something normal considering their super small lineups. They will now playÆ at Charlotte and I believe Kemba Walker is going to have a big game against them tonight, as he won't have problems into penetrating into the basket against a poor Magic defense with no big bodies on the court and with no defensive worries at all. Charlotte's offense is mostly based on pick and rolls plus transition plays and considering Orlando's poor pick and roll defense and terrible transition defense (1.25 PPP allowed on their last 10 games), the Bobcats have a great chance of having a big offensive game tonight.




Charlotte's defense is an overall very poor unit, but their perimeter defense is especially poor. However, Orlando isn't a great outside shooting team, especially since Arron Afflalo got injured. Therefore, I believe Charlotte is going to comfortable win this game. Even though this has possibly gone under the radar for a lot of people, the Bobcats have been playing quite nicely recently for their usual level. They defeated Washington and Toronto at home, while they lost against Detroit down the stretch. I believe this will be a very fast paced game, with both teams using very small lineups, but with Charlotte taking advantage of Orlando's defensive problems with Kemba Walker having a big game tonight. Considering the fact that the Bobcats have been playing better than Orlando lately, they have a big edge on pick and rolls with Kemba Walker tonight and they play at home, I believe they will have a surprisingly comfortable win tonight and so, I'll be taking them in here.

NBA - 759 Memphis Grizzlies @ 760 New York Knicks




Projected Line: 182 points





Memphis defeated Boston at home without Marc Gasol by playing small ball, while pushing up the pace against the undersized Celtics. Then, they went to Washington DC to face the Wizards without Nene Hilario and their strategy was the same from the previous game, with defensive specialist Tony Allen playing just 16 minutes, with Jerryd Bayless playing 28 minutes coming off the bench! However, things didn't work well for the Grizzlies, as John Wall had an insane performance and torched Memphis apart.




Therefore, the Grizzlies are in bounce back mode tonight and they will have a much easier matchup for them, as the Knicks don't have someone like John Wall at the PG position. In fact, they have one of the slowest backcourt units with Raymond Felton, Pablo Prigioni and Jason Kidd. The Knicks are known for theÆir spot up shooting, but they won't be very lucky tonight, as Memphis's perimeter defense has been ridiculously good lately by allowing just 26.3% 3pts on their last 10 games (#1 in the league). Besides that, the Knicks's key offensive players won't have easy individual matchups. J.R. Smith had a dream matchup last night in Boston against Jason Terry and Jordan Crawford, while he will have to face Tony Allen tonight. On the other hand, Carmelo Anthony will also have a tough opponent in Tayshaun Prince.




On the other hand, the Grizzlies's offense loses a lot without Marc Gasol. He is the team's best post up player and he would have had a field day tonight, as the Knicks's post up defense is quite poor without Tyson Chandler. The Grizzlies will try to explore their size edge over the Knicks on the frontcourt, but Zach Randolph and Ed Davis are raw on offense and they're prone to take some really poor shots, even though they have a lot of hustle and then grab a lot of rebounds as well. The Knicks's defense should be good enough to stop the Grizzlies's average offense, who will be deeply missing Marc Gasol tonight. I expect a very slow paced game in here, as the Knicks have been playing at a ridiculously slow pace lately and Memphis is comfortable with that kind of game, while the Grizzlies should make a great defensive job on the Knicks's offense tonight, but they should struggle on offense on their own without their best playmaker on the court tonight. Therefore, I expect a very low scoring game tonight and so, I'll be taking the Under in here.

dime bet 764 MIN 5.0 (-110) Bodog vs 763 LAL Analysis:
NBA - 763 Los Angeles Lakers @ 764 Minnesota Timberwolves




Projected Line: LA Lakers by 1 point





The Lakers will be playing tonight without Metta World Peace, so they will use an undersized starting backcourt formed by Kobe Bryant, Jodie Meeks and Steve Nash. This will be a good matchup for Minnesota, who also uses a 3-guards rotation on their starting lineup. With the Lakers's defense being lazy and having no foot speed, Minnesota's guards will be able to attack off the dribble, while having good edges on pick and roll ball handler plays and transitions on tonight's game. Minnesota will also have another clear edge on turnovers, as the Lakers are very prone to commit them and the Wolves have been very good on pressuring the opposing ball handler and then easily score on fast breaks.




Even though the Lakers easily defeated the Wolves in the first two games of the season, the truth is that I don't expect the same to happen tonight. The first contest was weird, as Minnesota had better FG% number than the Lakers but got completely outrebounded by the LA team. On the second contest, Andrei Kirilenko didn't play and Nikola Pekovic got injured and played just 9 minutes, so the Timberwolves couldn't be competitive. This time, I expect the Wolves to take advantage of the Lakers's poor backcourt defense to torch them with their small ball, turning this game into a very competitive one. Therefore, I'll be taking Minnesota tonight.

dime bet 765 IND / 766 HOU Under 197.0 Bodog Analysis:
NBA - 765 Indiana Pacers @ 766 Houston Rockets




Projected Line: 193 points





Houston has been improving on defenseÆ lately and this has been noted on several areas. They are having better defensive numbers on FG%'s allowed, while they are also rebounding better on their own basket. Meanwhile, they are also taking their opponents to the free throw line less times. Their transition defense is also improving a lot lately and they have allowed just 8, 6 and 7 fast break points on their last three games! They will now face a Pacers team that would be a horrible matchup for them if David West was playing, but without him the Rockets's defense should be able to do a nice job today.




Without West, Indiana's offense is a lot more predictable. To make things worse for them, George Hill is also banged up and so, only Paul George has the skills and the physical condition to have a good offensive game tonight. On the frontcourt, Roy Hibbert should also have a tough matchup against Omer Asik. On the other side, Indiana's defense is a tough matchup for Houston's offense who has a super volume of their shots at the rim and from the 3pts line, two areas where the Pacers's defense is an elite team. The Pacers are also #1 in the league on transition defense and #4 on isolation defense, so they have indeed the perfect defense to stop the Rockets's offense tonight. On a matchup between a top offensive team and a top defensive team, I believe Indiana will make a great defensive job, while struggling on offense, so I expect this game to be a low scoring game. Therefore, I'll be taking the Under in here.

dime bet 775 SAC 9.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com vs 776 GSW Analysis:
NBA - 775 Sacramento Kings @ 776 Golden State Warriors




Projected Lines: 217 points | Golden State by 6 points





The Warriors are coming from an excellent home win against the Lakers, but where for the second game in a row they disappeared during the fourth quarter. The Lakers's defense offered the Warriors's offense a dream matchup, as they were able to do whatever they wanted with their guards: 9-19 FG and 0.95 PPP on pick and roll ball handler plays; 1.12 PPP on spot up plays; 7-8 FG and 1.50 PPP on cuts! The good news for Golden State in that game was that their poor perimeter defense wasn't exposed by the Lakers, who dished just 17 assists during the whole game!




The main difference for tonight's game is that Sacramento will be a much tougher opponent on offense than the Lakers were last Monday night. The Kings have been shooting extremely well from the perimeter and they will exposed the Warriors's poor perimeter defense without much trouble, especially on a letdown spot for Golden State. DeMarcus Cousins is coming from a poor game against Philadelphia where he shot just 3-9 FG, so I believe he will bounce back today and he has a good matchup to do it as well.




I expect this contest to be a fast paced game, with both teams taking advantage of their good offense and their opponent's poor defense to have great offensive games. Therefore, I expect this contest to be a pure shootout and so, I'll be taking the Over in here. On the other hand, I don't trust Golden State to cover blowout lines, as their defense isn't good enough to allow them to have big wins most of the times. Sacramento is a good offensive team and they'll clearly outplay Golden State's defense tonight, especially with the Warriors being on a clear letdown spot after their big win over the Lakers. Therefore, IÆ'll be taking the Kings in here as well.

dime bet 777 Brooklyn 3.5 (-110) 5dimes (http://www.cappersmall.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Faffiliates.5dimes.com%2Ftra cking%2FAffiliate.asp%3FAffID%3DAF000189%26mediaTy peID%3D220%26AffUrlID%3D229) vs 778 POR Analysis:
NBA - 777 Brooklyn Nets @ 778 Portland Trailblazers




Projected Line: pk line





This isn't a good spot at all for Portland, who is returning home from a road trip and they have been especially terrible on this spot this season by going 0-5 ATS and 1-4 SU on their first home game against a road trip of at least 3 games: 90-103 vs LAC; 80-99 vs SAC; 125-119 (OT) vs ORL; 98-102 vs PHX; 97-102 vs MEM. But it's not only the spot that is poor for the Blazers tonight, as the Nets offer them a tough overall matchup as well. Brooklyn is the right team to make Portland struggle on the two positions where they've been struggling on defense all season long: Center + Point Guard! Brook Lopez will crush Portland down low, as the Blazers's interior defense is poor and so, no wonder that they are #27 on post up defense with 0.88 PPP allowed this season and 0.91 PPP allowed on their last 10 games. Then, Deron Williams will outplay the rookie Damian Lillard, who is still very raw on defense and has no size to stop Deron's dribble penetrations.




Besides that, Brooklyn will also have a nice rebounding edge tonight due to their bigger size and frontcourt depth. Reggie Evans will also physically punish LaMarcus Aldridge tonight, who has been struggling physically for a while now. Portland's offense depends a lot from their outside shooting nowadays and the only positive factor coming from Joe Johnson's absence is that Brooklyn is starting Keith Bogans at the SG position, who is a very nice defender. In fact, Brooklyn's perimeter defensive has been having nice numbers lately with 37% FG allowed from 16-23 feet and 30% 3pts defense (#2 on theÆ league) on their last 10 games. With the Nets having matchup edges on the PG and Center positions, a rebounding edge, a better bench and with LaMarcus Aldridge struggling physically, I expect Brooklyn to pick up the win today.

20* NBA Wednesday Total DOMINATOR on Celtics/Cavaliers UNDER 195.5

The books have set the bar too high tonight in this game between the Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers. Both teams are missing key players that will help keep the final combined score UNDER the posted total in this one.

Boston will be without Kevin Garnett (14.9 PPG) and Courtney Lee (7.8 PPG) tonight. They were already without Rondo and Jared Sullinger to boot. Cleveland will be without its top two scorers in Kyrie Irving (23.0 PPG) and Dion Waiters (14.7 PPG). Third-leading scorer Anderson Varejao (14.1 PPG) was already out.

One look at the recent history in this series and it's easy to see that this total has been inflated. Each of the last five meetings have seen 194 or less combined points and an average of 181.2 points/game. That's roughly 14 points less than tonight's posted total. Bet the UNDER in this game Wednesday.

15* NBA Wednesday Bounce-Back BLOWOUT on Los Angeles Lakers -4.5

The Los Angeles Lakers will be highly motivated for a victory tonight. They lead both Utah and Dallas by just one game for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They realize they cannot afford a loss to Minnesota tonight.

Adding fuel to the fire for the Lakers is the fact that they have lost three straight games heading into this one. They couldn't possibly be playing a better opponent to get back on track tonight considering how they have dominated Minnesota over the year.

Los Angeles has won 21 straight meetings with Minnesota heading into this contest. 19 of those 21 victories have come by 5 points or more, making for a 19-2 (90%) system backing the Lakers.

Also note that the Timberwolves will be a tired team heading into this one. They will be playing the second of a back-to-back and their 5th game in 7 days, which is tough for a team that is already short-handed due to injury. Take the Lakers Wednesday.

15* Heat/Bulls ESPN Side & Total Parlay on Chicago +5/UNDER 186

I am siding with the Chicago Bulls +5 and the UNDER 186 tonight in this contest with the Miami Heat. I fully expect the Bulls to put an end to Miami's 27-game winning streak in a low-scoring, defensive battle, but I'll take the points for some insurance.

The reason I'm backing Chicago tonight is because it has proven it can beat Miami recently, and it is one of the most resilient teams in the league. The Bulls have won three of their last five meetings with the Heat.

The reason I'm backing the UNDER tonight is due to the recent history between these teams, which has been a very low-scoring one. They have combined for 153, 185, 155 and 168 points (not counting overtime) in each of their last four meetings for an average of 165.3 points/game. That's roughly 21 points less than tonight's posted total. Roll with the Bulls and the UNDER Wednesday.

15* NBA Wednesday No-Doubt Rout on Utah Jazz -11.5

I look for the Utah Jazz to make easy work of the Phoenix Suns tonight. Utah simply needs this one more as it trails the Los Angeles Lakers by just one game for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. It won't be lacking any motivation tonight because of it.

Phoenix has nothing to play for, and it has already shown signs of packing it in over the past few weeks. The Suns have lost nine of their last 11 games overall with seven of those nine losses coming by 13 points or more.

Utah picked up a 107-91 home victory over Philadelphia on Monday to put to end a 4-game losing streak that came against playoff contenders in New York, Houston, San Antonio and Dallas with three of those games coming on the road. This team is certainly battle-tested after that tough stretch.

The Jazz have one their last two home meetings with the Suns by 13 and 12 points with finals of 94-81 and 100-88. Utah is 25-9 at home this season, while Phoenix is just 7-28 on the road, losing by nearly 10 points/game.

The Suns are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. Phoenix is 1-8 ATS in its last 9 vs. NBA Northwest division opponents. The Jazz are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall. Utah is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games vs. a team with a losing S.U. record. These four trends combine for a 24-3 system backing Utah. Bet the Jazz Wednesday.

15* NBA Wednesday Undervalued Underdog on Sacramento Kings +9

The Sacramento Kings are simply catching too many points tonight to the Golden State Warriors. Golden State is in a huge letdown spot following its 109-103 home victory over the rival Los Angeles Lakers Monday night.

Sacramento comes in well-rested having last played on Sunday in a home loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Given its tightly-contested recent history with Golden State, it's easy to see that 9 points is too much tonight.

In fact, each of the last four meetings in this series have been decided by 4 points or less, and by a combined 13 points. Three of those meetings have happened this season with Sacramento winning 94-92 and 131-127 at home, and Golden State winning most recently 87-83 at home as a 10.5-point favorite on March 6th.

This play falls into a system that is 23-5 (82.1%) ATS since 1996. It tells us to bet against home teams (GOLDEN STATE) - in a game involving two good offensive teams (98-102 PPG) after 42+ games, after leading in their previous game by 20 or more points at the half. Take the Kings Wednesday.

15* Nets/Blazers ESPN Late-Night BAILOUT on Portland -2.5

It's now or never for the Portland Trail Blazers. They trail the Los Angeles Lakers by just 2.5 games for the 8th and final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They believe they still have a shot, which is huge.

Portland checks in well-rested and ready to go having last played on Sunday in a loss at Oklahoma City. It has won the previous two games impressively with road victories at Chicago (99-89) as a 6-point dog and at Atlanta (104-93) as a 7.5-point dog.

Brooklyn comes in overvalued due to having won three of its last four games with all four of them coming on the road. However, all three of those victories came against current non-playoff teams in Detroit, Phoenix and Dallas. They'll start feeling the effects of this long road trip in Portland tonight.

The Nets are 5-15 ATS when playing their 3rd road game in 5 days over the last 3 seasons. Brooklyn is 3-12 ATS in road games after playing 2 consecutive road games over the last 2 seasons. It is losing in this spot by an average of 9.4 points/game.

Portland is 4-0 SU in its last 4 home meetings with Brooklyn with wins by 13, 7, 10 and 9 points dating back to 2009, respectively. The Blazers are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 vs. Eastern Conference. Portland is 18-6-2 ATS in its last 26 vs. a team with a winning record. Roll with the Blazers Wednesday.

15* Iowa/Virginia NIT Thursday No-Brainer on Iowa +4.5

The Iowa Hawkeyes are the best team left in the NIT in my opinion. The Big Ten has proven to be the toughest conference in the country with four teams through to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament.

Iowa is 23-12 on the season with a .500 record in Big Ten play. This team is even better than its record would indicate because it has suffered so many close losses this year.

That includes losses to Indiana (65-69), Michigan State (59-62), Purdue (65-62), Minnesota (59-62), Wisconsin (79-74), Nebraska (70-74) and Michigan State (56-59). As you can see, the Hawkeyes have SEVEN Big Ten losses by FOUR POINTS OR LESS.

Iowa is 12-1 ATS when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) this season. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS when the total is 129.5 or less this season. Iowa is 8-0 ATS in its last 8 games overall. The Hawkeyes are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 non-conference games. Iowa is 6-0 ATS after 2 consecutive covers as a favorite this season. These five trends combine for a 39-1 system backing the Hawkeyes. Roll with Iowa Wednesday.

15* NIT Thursday ANNIHILATOR on BYU +6

The BYU Cougars should not be catching points against the Southern Miss Eagles tonight. At 23-11 on the season, BYU is one of the most underrated teams in the country. I look for them to lay it all on the line tonight to try and get to Madison Square Garden.

No team has been as dominant as BYU in the NIT thus far. It beat Washington 90-79 at home before dominating Mercer 90-71. This is a very balanced team that can beat you inside and out. Tyler Haws (21.5 PPG), Brandon Davies (18.0 PPG) and Matt Carlino (11.2 PPG) form one of the best trios in the country.

Southern Miss has not been as impressive thus far with a 78-71 victory over Charleston Southern as an 11.5-point favorite, and a 63-52 win over LA Tech as an 8-point favorite. Having just one day to prepare for this complex, up-tempo BYU team simply isn't enough.

The Golden Eagles are 0-6 ATS versus good shooting teams - making >=45% of their shots after 15+ games this season. Southern Miss is 0-6 ATS in home games after playing a game where both teams score 65 points or less over the last 2 seasons. The Golden Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 Wednesday games. The Cougars are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. Conference USA. BYU is 3-0-1 ATS in its last 4 games vs. a team with a winning record. These five trends combine for a perfect 23-0 system backing the Cougars. Take BYU Wednesday.

25* NIT GAME OF THE YEAR on Providence +9

The Providence Friars are showing excellent value as a 9-point underdog to the Baylor Bears in the NIT Quarterfinals tonight. In fact, they represent my strongest release for the entire 2013 NIT Tournament.

Baylor is getting too much respect here due to the extra rest it has had leading up to this game. With a trip to Madison Square Garden on the line, Providence won't show any signs of fatigue despite playing two nights ago in a 77-68 home victory over Robert Morris.

The Big 12 has clearly been the most overrated conference in the country all season. That has been evident in the NCAA Tournament as only Kansas has made it through to the Sweet 16. The Big East has three teams in the Sweet 16 to compare.

Baylor is 1-8 ATS after a win by 6 points or less over the last 2 seasons. The Bears are 4-17 ATS after playing 2 consecutive games as favorite over the last 2 seasons. The Bears are 10-21 ATS in their last 31 games following a S.U. win. Bet Providence Wednesday.
