NCAA-B | South Dakota vs South Dakota State
Play on: South Dakota +3½ -110 at GTBets

Free pick on South Dakota +
I like the value here with the Coyotes catching points in this in-state rivalry game against the Jackrabbits. These are hands down the 2 best teams in the Summit and this game has major implications for the title. South Dakota State sits at a 11-1 in league play, while South Dakota is right behind at 11-2. The Coyotes can earn a share of the title with a win and would own the tie-breaker having swept the season series with the Jackrabbits.
The first meeting at South Dakota came back in late January and the Coyotes dominated that game 87-68. I just don't think a change in venue is going to change who wins in the rematch. Note that South Dakota is 11-5 SU and 12-3 ATS away from home this season. They are also 20-6-1 ATS in their last 27 games vs a team with a winning record.
Adding to all of this is a great system in play on the Coyotes. Road underdogs that have scored 75+ in 2 straight games against an opponent that has scored 80+ in 3 straight games are 90-48 (65%) ATS over the last 5 seasons. Take South Dakota!

NCAA-B | Connecticut vs Cincinnati
Play on: Cincinnati -18 -105 at 5Dimes

Earlier in conference play the Cincinnati Bearcats made it look easy on the road against the UConn Huskies. The Bearcats won 65-57 but from an ATS standpoint it was a loss as the Bearcats let a 17-point lead dwindle in the last four and a half minutes. I expect them to get an early lead here at home and never look back. Look for the game intensity is expected to increase to a season-high for the Bearcats as they’ve lost consecutive games and will come out strong here at home on Thursday. With the Huskies experiencing a poor season yet again, and their coach on the hot-seat, I like the Cincy Bearcats to win this one big!

NBA | 76ers vs Bulls
Play on: Bulls +7 -107 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Chicago Bulls +7
The Philadelphia 76ers went into the All-Star Break on a hot streak in going 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in their final five games. But all five games were at home, and now they come out of the break overvalued here as 7-point road favorites at Chicago.
The 76ers are 0-4 SU & 0-4 ATS in their last four road games. They lost by 10 at Oklahoma City, by 12 at Milwaukee, by 8 at Brooklyn and by 8 at Indiana. They certainly haven’t been good enough away from home this season to warrant being 7-point road chalk here.
Chicago comes out of the break undervalued after going 2-9 SU & 2-9 ATS in their final 11 games prior to the break. But they did pick up two home wins in their last four games over Minnesota and Orlando.
The Bulls have owned the 76ers. They have gone 14-2 SU in the last 16 meetings. Chicago is 4-1 ATS in its last five home meetings with Philadelphia. The Bulls are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games when playing on three or more days’ rest. The 76ers are 1-7 ATS in their last eight Thursday games. Bet the Bulls Thursday.

NCAA-B | Purdue vs Illinois
Play on: Purdue -8 -110 at BMaker

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CBB Game #573 Thursday Free Pick Purdue Boilermakers (-) @ Illinois Illini @ 7 ET - The Boilermakers have stumbled recently and, even though they're off of a win, it was a tight victory. Purdue needs a big blowout win to truly get back on track in advance of tourney time and Illinois should prove to be the "punching bag" that is just what the doctor ordered! The Boilermakers have crushed the Illini by an average margin of 27 points in their last 2 meetings. Also, Illinois enters this match-up on short rest and having lost 11 of its last 14 games and 8 of those 11 losses were by a double digit margin. This is Purdue's "easiest match-up" they've had in awhile and I expect them to take full advantage. The Boilermakers are on an 8-4 ATS run when facing a team with a losing record. The Illini are on a 4-8 ATS run when off of a loss in Big Ten action. Road rout is on tap in this one! Free Pick PURDUE
