MREAST NCAAB MONDAY PLAY OF THE DAY

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have been lethal on their homecourt where they have posted a 61-4 straight up mark in their last 65, and already this year they are 12-1. They knocked off a potent West Virginia team, and getting points on their homecourt is chock full of value. The Irish have really benefitted from the play of Tim Abromaitis who went from nothing to 15ppg. The Cuse is tough, and Wesley Johnson has emerged as one of the top players in the Big East, and is a handful. This one is all about holding serve on the homecourt, something the Irish have made a habit to, and have won straight up in 2 of the 3 during the streak when posted as a home dog. I'll go with Notre Dame in this one.

4 Unit Play. #729 Take Western Kentucky -2 over Middle Tennessee State (8 pm) Both teams are coming off games against Florida International and Florida Atlantic. The Hilltoppers beat both of them and the Blue Raiders lost to both of them at the Murphy Center. It was the second straight setback for Middle Tennessee, and its fourth loss in the last five games. Western Kentucky is always the team to beat in the Sun Belt Conference and they are 4-1 on the season and a win here will put them in great shape in the Sun Belt East with a two game lead in the loss column. Their only loss in conference came against Denver, a top team in the Sun Belt West. The Hilltoppers have won the last seven matchups with the Blue Raiders, running their advantage in the all-time series to 91-30. WKU will pull away late and take care of business, giving us a top play winner.

Sacramento is 15-24 overall this year while Charlotte comes in with a 19-19 overall record this season. The Bobcats have won 4 in a row and 7 of their last 8 games overall while Sacramento has lost 3 in a row and 8 of their last 9 games overall. Bobcats have really started clicking now since Stephen Jackson has had some playing time with his new teammates and the team adjusted accordingly. Sacramento is 18-35 ATS since 1996 and 6-18 ATS last 3 years against Southeast Division opponents. Charlotte is 8-1 ATS this year after a non-conference game. Charlotte is 25-11 ATS last 3 years after a win by 10 points or more. Charlotte is 13-4 ATS this year against poor defensive teams allowing 99 points per game or more. Sacramento is 3-15 SU on the road this year while Charlotte is 16-4 SU at home this season. Charlotte has the stingiest defense in the league allowing only 90.4 points per game overall this year at home. Charlotte is 4-0 ATS at home vs Sacramento since 1996. We'll play Charlotte for 5 units today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky.

Malinsky Write Ups
4* #703 PORTLAND over WASHINGTON
There is not an NBA team more ill-suited to play well on today’s matinee board than the Wizards. Not only is there the continued disarray for a 13-26 team having to deal with the loss of owner Abe Pollin, the Gilbert Arenas issues, and the fact that there is a Wednesday deadline for a proposed sale of the franchise, but they are now forced to play for the fifth time in seven days, a span which also includes a double-overtime affair at Chicago on Friday night. Not only does it mean physical fatigue, but to try to alleviate some of that they did not practice on Sunday. That means a lack of preparation that is even more important when facing a Western Conference opponent, one that they have not played since a 100-87 loss in Portland on January 24th of LY.The physical issues start at the very top, that Antawn Jamison/Caron Butler tandem that has to carry the load. In the first four games of this cycle Jamison has had to play an exhausting 186 minutes, while for Butler it has been 176. This early tipoff will bring tired legs from both (from Jamison, after Saturday’s win over Sacramento - "Oh man, I'm going to be in a coma. It's tough, but you've got to push through it."), and when they are not on top of their individual games Flip Saunders has no other viable options.Portland has shown a remarkable resiliency this season, a tribute to the kind of team chemistry and work ethic that Washington lacks. Despite playing through so many injuries the Trail Blazers enter this game on a 10-4 SU and 9-5 ATS run, and in that span they won and covered the two games without Brandon Roy by a combined 36.5 ATS. Roy was only able to go for about 30 minutes in practice on Sunday and may not be a major factor here but the line adjustment more than allows for us to play in this range. They have executed with poise and precision all season on the road, with seven victories over teams that are at .500 or better and a tough O.T. loss at Atlanta. Having been off since Friday, and playing for just the third time in eight days, they bring the energy to gradually pull away in this one.

4* #706 CHARLOTTE/SACRAMENTO Under

If the season ended today Charlotte would be a playoff team, and the Bobcats are in fact only one game out from being as high as a #5 seed. It has almost all been about defense, with a solid #3 in the NBA on our best set of ratings, and correspondingly Larry Brown has them playing at the kind of pace (#27) that makes that defense a focal point most games. Against a weak opponent that they can control, it is the defense and pace that come front and center, and that is what we have today.The Kings are not good enough to take the Bobcats out of their preferred game flow, and since Kevin Martin returned it has been a flat-out disaster offensively on this road trip, managing just 86 points each at Philadelphia (#23 defensively) and Washington (#21). Not surprisingly, those games played Under the Total by a combined 42 points. Because Martin was injured so early in the season (he had not played since November 4th), there never was time for him to develop a rhythm with Tyreke Evans and the other new faces, and when they opened the campaign with three straight road games they only managed 89, 92 and 94. Now it is like starting all over again, and with a Sunday practice being skipped to try to create fresh legs for this early start, there is no reason to believe that anything special is on the way here – if they could not find their way against two of the weakest defenses in the league, they can have some truly ugly stretches against one of the best.Look for Charlotte to focus even more on a slow pace here, forcing Sacramento to make those struggling half-court sets go, and for this to turn into an ugly and plodding grinder of a game

4* #728 SAINT JOSEPH’S over TOWSON STATE

Even in a down season for the program we can count on a Phil Martelli team going hard in every game, particularly in front of the home fans. That makes this a prime spot for the Hawks to get on back on track as they step way down in class against a team that they can dominate, especially since that opponent may be bringing precious little enthusiasm to the table.Towson State is a rudderless ship, with the Tigers on their way to the 6th straight losing season under Pat Kennedy (at 4-12 they will clinch that soon). But for as little as they bring most nights this one could get very ugly – they are playing their 7th game in 17 days, having to travel after a rare conference road win at Delaware on Saturday, and they are right back in C.A.A. play at home vs. Northeastern on Wednesday night. This is the usual rag tag assortment that we have grown accustomed to seeing under Kennedy, with Calvin Lee the only Towson player to start every game, and this is exactly the kind of group that can mail in a non-conference game after getting a rare league road win.The class difference between the programs showed when Saint Joseph’s rolled by 21 on the road LY, and while the W/L records are close this time around note how deceptive that is because of the major gap in scheduling (#10 vs. #233 Sagarin and #13 vs. #226 Pomeroy). This is the kind of matchup that the SR back-court of Darrin Govens and Garrett Williamson can control (they combined for 30 points, 12 rebounds and 13 assists in LY’s win), and with those two shooting a combined 77.0 percent at the free throw line, the ball will be in the right hands to extend the margin in the latter stages.

Now, you may think I'm crazy for putting money down on the 3-36 Nets, but I assure you they will keep tonight's game a close one. New Jersey will come at the Clippers with a balanced scoring attack and will jump start to an early lead. These two squads will play it pretty close throughout, with Chris Kaman doing most of the scoring for the Clips. The Nets will backslide a bit towards the end like they always do and lose the game, but they'll keep it within 8. Take the Nets plus the points.

HOME TEAM IN CAPS
All games include OT unless stated otherwise



NY ISLANDERS +1.27 over New Jersey (REG) Pinnacle
The Islanders are playing their hearts out every shift of every game and they’re also playing its best hockey of the season. They’re winning important games right now and they’re also beating some very good teams in the process. The Isles have won three straight and five of six and that includes a flawless 6-0 win over Detroit and a 3-2 OT win against the Sabres. The Islanders have scored five or more in three of its last six and scored at least three times in all six games. The Islanders could very well be playoff bound and now sit in eighth place but they’re just four points behind the Bruins for fifth. This team is soaring with confidence and can’t wait to get back on the ice for this matinee affair against the rival Devils in what should be in front of a full and rambunctious house. The Devils have cooled off, which is no big deal, as they sit a comfortable 15 points ahead of the final playoff team. They’ll pick it up again but this isn’t the best spot for them. You see, this is the Devils fourth straight on the road after games in New York, Phoenix and Colorado, three different time zones and this will be the fourth in six days. In fact, it could be considered it fifth game in a week because they finished off that postponed game with Tampa Bay after they played the Rangers and flew out to play Phoenix the very next day. That’s tough indeed. Besides that, they’ve lost three of four and have not looked sharp at all. Its only victory over that stretch was a 1-0 win against the Rangers in which they allowed 51 shots on net. This being an afternoon game can in no way whatsoever benefit the exhausted Devils and frankly, they’re very likely in for a tough, tough afternoon. Play: N.Y. Islanders +1.24 (Risking 2 units).

Toronto +1.68 over NASHVILLE (REG) Pinnacle
The price is great and so is the situation. After the dreaded three-game trip to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, the Preds return home for one lousy game and then head out again for a four-game trip. It’s difficult enough coming home and being sharp and you can double that when the players know they’ll be headed out again for a nine-day excursion. It’s also very good news that the Preds won all three of those games in Western Canada and not many teams will ever make that claim in the same year. The Preds will have no sense of urgency whatsoever while the Leafs almost always play with a sense of urgency. The Leafs are a dangerous team with a tag like this on them because if they get good goaltending they’re usually in a position to win. Anyway, this is all about playing against the Preds in a difficult spot with a very nice take-back. Play: Toronto +1.70 (Risking 2 units).

St. Louis +1.03 over COLUMBUS (REG) Pinnacle
Just sign up for this one right away and ask no questions. The Blue Notes are on a serious roll at the moment with four straight wins and each win is more impressive than the last. This team is gaining steam with each passing period and confidence is soaring. Over that stretch of four wins, the Blue Notes has outscored the opposition by a count of 13-5. Over its last three games they’ve allowed two goals against and that includes a 4-1 win over these same Jackets in St. Louis six days ago. The Jackets laying juice is about as appealing as watching a Vern Troyner sex-tape. They can’t score, they can’t defend, they lose way more often than they win and since that 4-1 loss to the Blues last week, they’re 0-2 with back-to-back losses to the Blackhawks. The Jackets are a team in trouble and Ken Hitchcock is about to be let go anytime now. After a troubling first half under Andy Murray, the Blues are having fun again and they’re just so pumped up to get out there and play. You can see it in their body language and in their effort. Play: St. Louis +1.02 (Risking 2 units).

Analysis: Play On: Phoenix Suns (Game 719)
Note: The Suns meet the Grizzles in Memphis with revenge on their minds from a 128-103 home loss suffered 16 days ago in Phoenix. It sets the table for today's play as the Suns enter off three losses in a row knowing they are 41-18 SU and 37-17-2 ATS in this role, including 10-0-1 ATS as a dog versus an opponent off a SU and ATS win. In addition, Phoenix is 46-13 SU in this series, including 4-0-1 ATS when taking points. They are also 4-0 ATS on this floor in games off a loss when Memphis is off a win. Toss in the Suns' Sterling 27-11 ATS mark on the road in games off a loss of 20 or more points and we'll gladly grab the points with the better team here today. We recommend a 3-unit play on Phoenix.

732 Kansas St. 1.0 (-110) Bodog vs 731 Texas Analysis: Play On: Kansas State (Game 732) triple dime
Note: After escaping in a 72-67 overtime home win against Texas A&M Saturday, the 17-0 No. 1-ranked Longhorns won’t find the going any easier in Manhattan today. That's because Bramlage Coliseum has become a house of horrors for visiting teams. It's where KSU is currently riding a 14-game home winning streak (10-0 SU and 5-0 ATS this season) and has compiled a 68-12 SU mark since 2005. K-State also owes Texas for a bitter 3-point loss in the opening round of last year’s Big 12 Tournament – a setback that forced the Cats to settle for an NIT bid. In addition, the Cats have cashed in six of their last seven tries when playing with conference tourney revenge. The hosts also own an impressive 7-1-1 ATS series edge, including last year’s outright win at Austin as 10-point underdogs. With Big 12 home teams on an incredible 117-7 SU run this season, and Kansas State an eye-opening 8-1 SU and 9-0 ATS at home as a dog or favorite of less than 10 points against undefeated opposition since 1990, look for another No.1 to bite the dust here tonight. We recommend a 3-unit play on Kansas State.

Randall the Handle NBA

HOME TEAM IN CAPS

Milwaukee +6½ over HOUSTON (3:00 PM EST)Pinnacle
There’s no doubt that since Michael Redds’ injury the Bucks are playing a whole lot better. Come to think of it they were playing good at the start of the year when he was out then too. It hasn’t shown up in the win column on the road but the Bucks are still 4-4 over its last eight games. That includes a four-point loss in Phoenix and a win in Golden State. They’re showing a trend of a bad game followed by a good one and they’re going off a bad one in Utah in which they lost 112-95. What’s interesting about the Bucks is that they attempt more FG’s per game than any team in the NBA and that alone makes them a dangerous pooch, especially against the defenseless Rockets. In the last five games, the Rockets have given up 118, 96, 102, 114 and 115 points. They virtually have nobody to protect the rim. The Rockets have lost five of seven games and they weren't all that impressive in the two home wins. They trailed the Knicks by 19 in the first half, and needed three overtimes to subdue the dreadful T-Wolves. The Rockets are a team in trouble and taking back any points against them appears to be the prudent move. Play: Milwaukee +6½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Sacramento +6½ over CHARLOTTE (2:00 PM EST) Pinnacle
Very often the best time to jump off a team is when its stock is high because you usually get an inflated line and that’s precisely the situation here. The Bobcats are flying high right now with seven wins in eight games and that includes four in a row. They’re coming off two very nice wins against San Antonio and Phoenix in which they blew out both teams. They also have recent wins over both Miami and Cleveland, the latter on the road and now they’re an enticing 6½-point favorite over one of the league’s worst road squads. Sac has three wins in 18 road games while the Cats are 16-4 at home. Looks easy, doesn’t it? Not so fast my friends. You see, the Cats have been at home for about nine days and four games. They have the Heat up next and this is such a vulnerable spot in that the Cats are going too good and could definitely get caught being too complacent. Sacramento is a very talented group that comes to play every game and they’ll very likely come to play here as well. Furthermore, the Cats have been favored by this much just once all year, at home over the Bulls and failed to cover as a 6½-point favorite. Again, this is a vulnerable spot for them so don’t be surprised to seem them lose outright. Play: Sacramento +6½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

MEMPHIS –2 over Phoenix Pinnacle
I’m not really sure why but the Grizz are being shown no love from either the public or the books. All this team does is go out and win games and in fact, no team has been hotter than this host over the past couple of months. Remember, the Grizz started the year 1-8 and are now 21-18, which means they’ve gone 20-10 since then. The Grizzlies are 11-3 over its last 14 games and have won seven in a row at home. They’re feeling it big time. Meanwhile, the Suns are headed in the opposite direction. Here’s a team that started 14-2 and are now 24-17, which means they’ve gone 10-15 since that sizzling start. The Suns do not travel well and in fact, has dropped nine of its last 10 away from home. This is a Suns team that plays no defense whatsoever, they’re going bad, they’re still way overrated and frankly, this is a cheap lay on the hot team vs the cold one. Play: Memphis –2 (Risking 2.14 units to win 2).

-4 Unit Selection-

The last time these 2 teams met was back at the conclusion of the NBA Finals with the Lakers taking home the title. This time around I look for max effort from both sides. That being said, I believe this will turn into a shootout more so than a defensive effort. Reason being is that the Magic are going to be hard pressed to try and assert their position as a title contender this year and to do such a thing they are going to have to run and gun. The Lakers on the other hand will like an opportunity to show the league that they are still the top dog. That being said they do have mental lapses frequently which could lead to giving up plenty of points to the Magic in the first half. This philosophy is supported by the fact the over is 7-3 in Lakers last 10 games as a favorite. Let’s just sit back enjoy a great game and look for both teams to break the century mark with ease.

725 Syracuse -4: The Orange are the best team in the best conference and they will prove it tonight. Johnson is a great defender and is so hard to guard on offense with his length. The 2-3 zone of the Orange should take away Harangody and really make the Irish get scoring from areas they are not used to. On the other end ND is not a very good defensive or rebounding team which will spell big trouble with the very big Orange lineup. This one will not be close.

Nick "BookieKiller" Parsons

Sabres/Coyotes UNDER 5

For a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value "under" in this situation:

The Sabres (29-11-6) narrowly missed the playoffs the last two seasons, but with a 10-point lead atop the Northeast Division, they are in excellent position to end that drought.

They have been especially sharp lately, going 7-0-3 since Christmas and 17-4-4 since Thanksgiving with Ryan Miller leading the way. The likely starter for the United States at the Vancouver Olympics ranks second in the NHL with a career-best 2.01 goals-against average.

Miller made 36 saves to help Buffalo earn a point in a 3-2 shootout road loss to the New York Islanders on Saturday night.

Keep in mind that the total has gone "under" the posted number in four of Buffalo's six overall and in five of its last seven on the road.

On the other side of the rink: Miller is 2-0-0 with a 0.50 GAA in two career starts against the Coyotes, making 23 saves in a 2-1 home win Oct. 8 after stopping 28 shots in a 2-0 victory in his only visit to Glendale on Jan. 31.

Ilya Bryzgalov, who still ranks among the NHL’s top five in wins and is three shy of matching his career high, struggled in making 18 saves against Minnesota on Saturday night, but his teammates helped him out in a 6-4 win.

Keep in mind though, Phoenix has seen the total go "under" the posted number in a whopping 10 of 11 games this year after a win by 2 goals or more.

Bottom line: Five out of the last six times these teams have tangled at the Jobing.com Arena, the total has gone "under" the posted number.

I think when you take into account all of the above factors, that the sharp money in this one is on the UNDER!

*7* UNDER.

Tony George

KANSAS STATE pick 'em

The bottom line is that HOME COURT in the Big 12 headed into Saturday, with all Big 12 teams had an overall record of 114-4 SU! Take into account that Texas struggled in an OT win with Texas AM this weekend, and that their scoring showed only 1 starter in double digits (James) on Saturday while K State is a team of above average players that spread it around, play GREAT defense, allowing just 61 ppg their last 5 on a strong home court to a sold out house tonight, and I like the Wildcats to pull the upset, although it is a pick’em game. No team is safe in the Big 12 on the road, and not Texas tonight. This is only Texas’s third road game in 12 games.

Play 1 Unit on Kansas St..thanks and good luck. Tony George.

KANSAS STATE -1.5

I went against Texas on the road last week with a Triple Star against Iowa State and prevailed and am fully prepared to do it once again here. Kansas State might be only the second best team in the state of Kansas but I assure you they are good enough to get this done tonight. We've seen already how treacherous it is to play on the road in the Big 12 and tonight will be a classic example. If you have not seen this Wildcat squad you are in for a treat. Denis Clemente is one of the most unheralded players in the country and distributes the ball well, defends well and oh yes, shoots the rock. I've been anxiously awaiting this match up and caught the number I was hoping for, this is all Wildcats at home guys! Triple Star on Kansas State minus the 1.5!

NOTRE DAME +3.5

The Irish are like an NBA Western Conference team. Great at home, not so much on the road. Still, they impressed us on Saturday, a game we went against them, losing by just two at Cincinnati while turning the ball over just five times. The return home tonight for big Big East battle with 5th ranked Syracuse. Notre Dame is 12-1 SU this year in South Bend, making them very attractive at this price. Last week, they upset West Virginia here as five-point pups, winning 70-68. Syracuse just played that same WVU win team, winning by one on the road. But they had to hold off a furious Mountaineers rally in that game as a nine-point lead very nearly evaporated over the final two minutes. Playing two Big East road games over a three-day span is a tough chore and note that this is actually the Orange's third straight game away from the Carrier Dome. They are 9-21 ATS when coming off BB road games. Syracuse is good, but they're not deep with HC Boeheim giving only eight players regular playing time. That's going to be an issue in a second straight difficult road game. So too is the fact that the Orange had 20 turnovers vs. WVU. Notre Dame and Big East leading scorer Luke Harangody should bounce back from an off-shooting night vs. Cincy as the team averages 86+ points per game at home and he was averaging 30+ in his three previous games. The Irish offense has fared well vs. the patented Syracuse zone recently, shooting 45% and making more than 12 three-pointers per game the last five meetings. Notre Dame is our College Hoops **UNDERDOG** Winner.

LOCK 4*: Carolina Hurricanes -125
Tampa is in trouble, evidenced by the beating Florida put on them. I was at one of the games and they looked horrible. Carolina is not much better, but at home and with the trend factor, it is my LOCK OF THE DAY. CAROLINA is 8-1 (+5.7 Units) against the spread versus TAMPA BAY over the last 3 seasons

triple-dime bet 741 N.C.-Wilmington 17.5 (-110) Bodog vs 742 Virginia
Analysis: Yup, we are going with the BIG DOG tonight, backing the NC Wilmington Seahawks tonight. Most people aren't going to like this play, simply because we are going against a team in Virginia that is playing really good basketball right now. Of course i like being liked, but i like winning even more, as i feel that solves everything.

Don't let the name fool you, Wilmington has some talent. At first gance, you see a record of 6-11. That certainly isn't good, but look a bit further and realize who they've played. They've played against Miami, South Florida, George Washington, George Mason, Richmond, Northeastern, Old Dominion, and Wake Forest. That is simply murderers row, without a shadow of a doubt. This doesn't even include games against both Penn St. and William and Mary. I mention those games last because they won both of those games OUTRIGHT. Those were both very impressive wins, especially considering their opponent has already lost to Penn St. this year. My point is this, Wilmington is not going to be intimidated in the least when facing off against the Cavaliers tonight.

How good is Virginia playing right now? Clearly they have bought in to what Coach Bennett is teaching. I'm not going to try to pick apart anything with Virginia, because they are playing really well right now. The Cavaliers have won 7 straight games after starting the season at 4-4. In this current 7 game winning streak, 3 of those teams are considered top 30 teams while 3 others are considered 3 of the WORST teams in D1. In the middle would be an improved NC State team. Their past two games against Georgia Tech and Miami were really impressive, so i will give them their props one last time.

So what's going to happen today? I seriously wonder what motivation Virginia has coming into their game today. They come off of 2 winning league games in the national spotlight against two high caliber clubs. Their next game¡ is on the road at Wake Forest. I seriously doubt this Cavaliers team is going to be motivated to beat a pesky Wilmington team today. This team is still getting used to playing in Coach Bennett's system, and this defensive system can wear on you. Is this going to be that game where they take a night off? Based on their scheduling you would certainly think so.

I bring up scheduling because this seems like a "weird" spot to play a non league game right? Well let's not forget this is a makeup game from December 19th, when the game was originally postponed. This game being postponed actually hurts Virginia in my opinion, because now they have to play a game just 2 days removed from 2 hard fought league wins. Again, i think Virginia struggles to stay motivated today. Wilmington has played tougher teams than Virginia, and played them close. Lastly, because i remember everything, i specifically remembered that point spread between these two teams on December 19th. That spread was:

VIRGINIA -8 NC WILMINGTON.
