NCAA-B | St. John's vs DePaul
Play on: St. John's -1 -105 at betonline
Jack’s Free Pick Wednesday: St. John’s -1
The St. John’s Red Storm had some tough luck in their 0-11 start in conference play with mostly close losses along the way. But they have dug deep and put together a tremendous three-game stretch and have a new outlook here down the stretch.
Indeed, the Red Storm started with an 81-77 upset home win over Duke as 11-point underdogs. Then they went on the road and beat Villanova 79-75 as 16-point underdogs. They avoided a letdown last time out with an 86-78 home win over Marquette. Now they’ll be out for revenge from a 74-91 home loss to DePaul in their first meeting this season.
I think this is a letdown spot for the Blue Demons. They are coming off a shocking 80-63 upset road win at Providence as 7-point underdogs. The Fryers were clearly looking ahead to their huge showdown with Villanova tonight and not paying any attention to DePaul in that game. This is still a terrible Blue Demons team with zero home-court advantage.
The Blue Demons have gone 1-7 SU in their last eight home games with their only win coming against Miami Ohio. DePaul is 3-12 ATS in home games off an ATS win over the last two seasons. The Blue Demons are 7-18-1 ATS in their last 26 games following a SU win. Bet St. John’s Wednesday.

NBA | Kings vs Rockets
Play on: Rockets -14½ -100 at pinnacle
Free Pick on Rockets -
I'm recommending laying the points with the Rockets at home against the Kings on Wednesday. This is the final game before the All-Star break for both teams. Both are also in the second game of a back-to-back after playing Tuesday. Each won their game last night with the Kings going on the road and beating the Mavs 114-109, while Houston hit 10 3-pointers and put up 42 on the road at Minnesota to pull away 126-108.
The Rockets have now won 9 straight and I think we see them motivated here to go into the break on a 10-game run, especially with how they won that game last night against the Timberwolves. I think the Kings are more interested in getting to their vacation plans than playing this game. Keep in mind this is a team that's not just playing in the second game of a back-to-back, but also their 3rd straight on the road in just 4 days.
Sacramento is just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 off a SU win and are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 vs a team that's won more than 60% of their games. Take Houston!

NCAA-B | Seton Hall vs Xavier
Play on: Xavier -6 -110 at betonline
COLLEGE HOOPS 75 DIME GAME
XAVIER -6
On the season, Xavier basketball averages 84.7 points, 38.8 rebounds and 16.9 assists per game. Defensively, Xavier basketball yields 74.0 points per game against the opposing teams.
Six players are averaging at least 8.0 points per game for Xavier, they are Trevon Bluiett (18.9), J.P. Macura (12.5), Kerem Kanter (10.8), Quentin Goodin (8.3), Kaiser Gates (8.2) and Tyrique Jones (8.0). Blueitt tops in rebounds with 5.8 while Gooding leads in assists with 5.0 per game.
Seton Hall is coming off a hard loss against Georgetown, which is weak. Xavier has a lot of depth. I have them by 9 points or more.

NCAA-B | Kansas State vs Oklahoma State
Play on: Oklahoma State -3½ -117 at betonline
I will take the Cowboys here at home as they are coming off another big road win beating Oklahoma St. Now I know after their previous big road win over Kansas they laid an egg at home. Well now they have played themselves into the conversation at least because of their road wins and cant afford any let downs. They only by 4 to Kansas St in the first meeting. I also don't like what I have seen from the Wildcats failing to get up for big games like Texas Tech and Kansas.

NBA | Heat vs 76ers
Play on: 76ers -6½ -102 at 5Dimes
1 Unit FREE PLAY on Philadelphia 76ers -6.5
The Philadelphia 76ers are 10-0 SU & 10-0 ATS in their last 10 home games. They are winning these games by 15 points per game on average. Now they host a tired Miami Heat team that will be playing the second of a back-to-back after a tough 112-115 loss in Toronto last night. The 76ers are 21-6 ATS in their last 27 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The home team is 6-0 SU & 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings between Miami and Philadelphia. Give me the 76ers.

NCAA-B | Seton Hall vs Xavier
Play on: Xavier -4½ -109 at 5Dimes
I'm recommending a play on Xavier minus the points on Wednesday. Xavier has its eyes on the Big East regular season title and has won eight in a row and the Musketeers are 18-8 ATS on the season. Seton Hall has lost three straight and hasn't been a good team all season against the number with an 11-14 ATS record and the Pirates appear to fading fast. The Pirates need to turn things around quickly, especially on the defensive end, but that will be difficult on the road against one of the best teams in the country. Xavier shoots 50 percent at home and allows only 39.8 percent. The Musketeers are led by the trio of Trevon Bluiett (18.9 points per game), J.P. Macura (12.2 ppg) and Kerem Kanter (10.8 ppg). Xavier already has beaten the Pirates by nine points in the first meeting on the road and the Musketeers have covered 11 of their last 16 home contests. We're recommending a play on Xavier minus the points on Wednesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

NCAA-B | Indiana State vs Drake
Play on: Drake -1 -105 at betonline
Dave’s Wednesday Free Play:
1* on Drake -1 The Key: The Drake Bulldogs are 9-2 at home this season with their only two losses coming to the top two teams in the Missouri Valley in Loyola-Chicago and Southern Illinois. Indiana State is 1-5 SU & 1-5 ATS in its last 6 games overall and cannot be getting this much respect from the books. Drake won 75-72 at Indiana State in their first meeting this season. The Bulldogs are 8-2-1 ATS in their last 11 home games. The Sycamores are 2-10 ATS when the line is +3 to -3 over the last 2 seasons. Take Drake.

NBA | Pacers vs Nets
Play on: Pacers -4 -105 at 5Dimes
Take Indiana (#707)
Very quietly, waaaaaaay underneath the radar, the Indiana Pacers are playing their best basketball of the season heading into the All Star Break. Indiana has won their last two, including an impressive road win at Boston. They’ve won seven of their last ten overall; 13-6 in their last 19 contests; a stretch that includes SU road wins at Utah, San Antonio and Phoenix as well as that win against the Celtics.
There were some initial concerns about the chemistry between players and management after Indiana stood pat at the trading deadline, unable to give the team a boost in their push towards the playoffs. Quotes like this one from Thaddeus Young make it VERY clear that any chemistry concerns are vastly overblown:
