NCAA-B | Northern Iowa vs Indiana State
Play on: Indiana State +3½ -110 at BMaker
Indiana St is just one of those sneaky teams in this conference that has the talent to make a run. They just had one of their worst showings last game out and in fact it was their first loss at home of the season. I think this is setting up for a great bounce back. UNI is a team that has a target on their back in this league so you know the effort will be there tonight from the Sycamores. Indiana St only lost by 8 in the first meeting @ UNI and the Panthers shot over 50% from the floor in that outing.Comment

NBA | Bucks vs Pistons
Play on: Bucks -13 -107 at pinnacle
Bucks
The Milwaukee Bucks return from the All-Star break ready to continue their stellar season and resume play with a road contest against the Detroit Pistons on Thursday. Milwaukee owns the NBA's best record but will be tested over the next 2 1/2 weeks with eight of its next 11 games on the road.
All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo missed the final two games before the break due to the birth of his son and the Bucks dropped the second contest, 118-111 to the Indiana Pacers on Feb. 12. Milwaukee won 14 of 15 games prior to the setback, which also was just the club's fifth in 26 road contests. The Pistons have dropped four straight games and 10 of their last 12 and will have to get hot to avoid the franchise's first 50-loss campaign since the 2014-15 season. Detroit lost a 116-112 overtime decision to the host Orlando Magic in its last game prior to the break.
Milwaukee has won 10 straight in the head-to-head versus Detroit, and has covered the spread eight times. Bucks are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite. Pistons are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
Take the Bucks in a rout.Comment

The Detroit Pistons will get up for the Milwaukee Bucks tonight in their first game back from the break. The Pistons have lost both meetings this season and were swept by the Bucks in the playoffs last year, so they have no shortage of motivation. They have managed to be competitive in recent games with upset home wins over Denver and Phoenix, while also playing OKC and Orlando to the wire on the road in covers during a 4-3 ATS stretch. The Bucks could easily take this Pistons team lightly in their first game back considering they have owned this series. That is all it will take for Detroit to stay within this huge number. Give me the Pistons.Comment

Play on: UNDER 210 -100
MIKE'S HORNETS @ BULLS FREE PICK
The Charlotte Hornets are playing at the slowest tempo in the league averaging only 98.7 possessions per game. Here they'll visit a Chicago team that is 8-0 to the over in its last eight games, but neither team is shooting the ball well and that should be the case with the teams most likely coming out rusty from the All Star break.
Free pick on UNDER.

Play on: USC +9½ -110 at 5Dimes
I am on an 11-4 college basketball run and will continue to get you paid today as I have this FREE WINNER as well as my NCAAB 33-7 CONSENSUS and 15-2-1 'DOG OUTRIGHT WINNERS. Follow me here and get paid. I also have an UPDATED NCAAB SEASON DISCOUNT PKG.
Thursday's FREE NCAAB WINNER: USC Trojans.
Game 661.
6:00 pm pst.
With the Big Dance approaching, the 'on the bubble" Trojans have a golden opportunity to notch a solid conference road win here. This is a team that has been money to bettors, covering nine of their last 11 outings. They can get some payback here as well from a February first, 21-point drubbing at the hands of the Buffaloes. USC's big men, Okongwu and Rakocevic (27.6/17.6 combined) outclass CU's, Battey and Siewart (17.6/10.6 combined). Look for this game to be dominated in the paint by the Trojans. USC is 5-0 ATS the last five on the road, 5-0 ATS the last five as an underdog, and 4-0 ATS the last four overall. Take the Trojans. Thank you.Comment

NCAA-B | Stanford vs Washington
Play on: OVER 130 -115
1* Free Pick on Stanford/Washington over 130
I'm confident the Cardinal and Huskies will eclipse the total tonight. These two combined for 116 points in an earlier meeting at Stanford (Jan. 9th), but the two couldn't have shot any worse. I think that result is giving us value.
The Huskies were 20 of 52 (38.5%) from the field, 3 of 17 (17.6%) from 3 and 12 of 25 (48.0%) from the free throw line. The Cardinals were able to go 11 of 30 (36.7%) from 3, but were just 22-57 (38.6%) from the field and a mere 50% from the charity strike.
I get these aren't two great offensive teams, but no way they both have that bad a night from the field. There's also reason to expect scoring. Both rank in the top half of the Pac-12 in tempo and are the two worst in offensive turnover pct.
It's also worth noting both defenses aren't exactly in great form coming in. Stanford is giving up just 64.8 ppg in conference play, but are allowing 70 ppg over their last 5. Washington is givComment

NBA | Grizzlies vs Kings
Play on: Grizzlies -1 -110 at 5Dimes
10* FREE NBA PICK (Grizzlies -1)
I'll take my chances here with Memphis at basically a pick'em on the road at Sacramento in the first game back from the All-Star break for both teams. I think some have caught on to how good this Grizzlies team is, but I see see value with this team right now. Memphis went 15-4 over their final 19 games and them being undervalued is evident by their 14-5 ATS mark during this run.
Everyone is talking about Zion right now, but Ja Morant is playing at an extremely high level and it felt like he was at his best right before the break. I think he's got to be a little annoyed with all the Zion talk and that he wasn't selected over Booker to fill in the All-Star spot left by Lillard's injury.
While there's every reason to believe the Grizzlies are going to be locked in out of the break, who knows where the Kings focus is right now. It's really a mess from the front office to coaching to the players. The owner has made it clear he's unhappy with everyone, Buddy Hield doesn't like his role and is making a scene about it, and you got key guys injured.
Grizzlies are 12-4 ATS this season when listed as a favorite and have covered 20 of their last 29 against teams like the Kings who are allowing 110 or more points/game (Sacramento gives up 110.8 ppg). Give me Memphis -1!Comment

NBA | Grizzlies vs Kings
Play on: Grizzlies -1 -103 at pinnacle
Jack’s Free Pick Thursday: Memphis Grizzlies -1
The Memphis Grizzlies have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference since the calendar turned to 2020. They have gone 15-4 SU & 14-5 ATS in their last 19 games overall to move into 8th place in the playoff standings and put themselves in position to make the postseason.
I look for the Grizzlies to continue their solid play coming out of the All-Star Break when they travel to face the Sacramento Kings tonight. The last two months have not been kind to the Kings, who are 9-19 SU & 10-18 ATS in their last 28 games overall.
Memphis is 20-9 ATS vs. terrible defensive teams that allow 110 or more points per game this season. Luke Walton is 4-17 ATS in home games after scoring 105 points or more in five straight games as a head coach.
The Grizzlies are 7-0 ATS in their last seven games as a favorite. Memphis is 20-8-1 ATS in its last 29 games overall. The Kings are 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 home games. Bet the Grizzlies Thursday.Comment
