Sunday's Action ...
25 Dime: VIRGINIA

The Tar Heels finally ended their first three-game losing streak of the Roy Williams era on Tuesday, and they did so with a dominating 14-point win at North Carolina State (as a one-point road favorite). But that doesn’t mean all is perfect on Tobacco Road. This is still a very young, very raw team, and with the injuries they’ve been dealing with all season, the Heels have no business laying this kind of number, even at home.

Yes, Virginia has followed up an eight-game winning streak with consecutive ACC losses to Wake Forest (69-57 on the road) and Virginia Tech (76-71 in overtime). But the Cavaliers have been in virtually every game they’ve played this season, losing by more than five points just twice (the 12-point setback at Wake Forest and a 66-49 loss at South Florida back in the second game of the season).

The reason Virginia has been able to hang in almost all of its games is it plays tremendous defense. In fact, the 76 points Virginia Tech scored on Thursday (again, in overtime!) was the most the Cavaliers have allowed all year. In fact, Virginia (which gives up 61.7 ppg overall) has surrendered more than 69 points just three times. And when you compare what these teams have done in five ACC games, you’ll see North Carolina (71.8 ppg) is averaging 1 point per game more than Virginia (70.8) while giving up 73 ppg.

The Cavaliers have covered in three of the last four meetings with North Carolina – and keep in mind, those Tar Heels teams had Ty Lawson and Tyler Hansbrough and Danny Green and Wayne Ellington, etc., etc. In fact, facing that experienced bunch in Chapel Hill last year, Virginia hardly embarrassed itself, losing by 15 points as a 24-point ‘dog. And that Cavaliers team last year finished the season 10-18 overall and 4-12 in conference!

Finally, the Tar Heels enter this game 2-6 ATS in their last eight overall, 7-19 ATS in their last 26 ACC contests and 2-7 ATS in their last nine on Sunday. And while they easily covered at N.C. State earlier in the week, they’ve cashed in back-to-back games just once all year and not since early December (going 0-5 ATS in their last five when coming off a spread-cover).

Bottom line: Virginia’s defense will keep them in this game the entire way, and they have the ability to score on a Tar Heels squad that has given up 70 points or more in five of its last seven games. Take the points (and don’t be shocked if this is a tight, five-point game in the final minute).

triple-dime bet 801 DEN / 802 SAN Under 198.0 BetUS
Analysis:
1:00pm ET / ABC TV / Denver Nuggets @ San Antonio Spurs
5***** Best Bet on: UNDER the TOTAL

As of Saturday night, there was no OU Line for this game. That’s based on the questionable status of TONY PARKER for the Spurs and CARMELO ANTHONY of the Nuggets. That’s potentially 47 combined points (Anthony: 29.7 / Parker: 16.9) that could be out of the starting lineups. Denver went UNDER by 15 points on Friday with Anthony out. If they don’t play, so much the better. If they somehow DO play, neither will be at 100% anyway. We project the OU line in this one to be 195 to 203 points.

We already know (from researching this game for the Playbook BKB newsletter) that’s this is a LOW-scoring series. The Spurs / Nuggets series has gone 6-20-1 O/U in the last 27 meetings… and 1-7 O/U in the last 8 played IN San Antonio. Team OU trends also look promising.
SAN ANTONIO is 1-8 O/U on Sundays… 1-7 O/U in a 1/1 rest situation… and 5-21-2 O/U versus winning (>.500) opponents. DENVER is 1-7 O/U away in a 1/1 rest situation… 1-5 O/U in Sunday RG… 0-5 O/U away vs the Southwest division… 7-24-1 O/U versus winning teams… and 1-4 O/U off a SU loss.

Now let’s look as all the applicable OU SYSTEMS that this game qualifies in.

1-11 O/U this season: All SOUTHWEST division home teams (Spurs) versus a NORTHWEST Division opponent (Nuggets)… when the game line is 5 or less points.

0-6 O/U since November: All SUNDAY Western Conference home teams in a 1/1 rest situation (Spurs)… versus a fellow Western Conference opponent (Nuggets).

1-7 O/U since November: All Western Conference .600 or greater HOME teams (Spurs) versus a Western Conference .600 or greater opponent (Nuggets)… when the OU Line is > 200 points (Check line).
0-8 O/U in January: All NBA teams off a SU road dog loss of 15 > points (Nuggets)… in a game that went “UNDER” the Total with an OU line of 200 > points (Nuggets).

0-5 O/U last 5 year: All Western Conference teams playing in their 6th STRAIGHT home game and off a SU win (Spurs)… versus a fellow Western Conference opponent off a SU loss (Nuggets).

5-19-1 O/U this season: All NBA teams playing off BB SU and ATS home favorite wins (Spurs). And since December, .600 or greater teams have gone 1-9 O/U (Spurs).

13-30 O/U Since 2002: All NBA road teams playing off a SU loss that broke a 8+ game WINNING streak (Nuggets). When these visitors are getting 8 < points… and the OU line is 188 > points, the numbers improve to 1-9 O/U.

Pittsburgh vs. South Florida (NCAAB) - 1:00 PM EST Premium Play
Pick: Point Spread: -3/-105 Pittsburgh Play Title:
Click Here to View Pick Analysis
While I thought the Bulls were a solid go against on Thursday against Seton Hall, I think they are a better go against here. South Florida has won two straight Big East games for the first time ever and either of those games could have resulted in losses. Both wins came in overtime with the first against Providence being a big comeback in the last minute of regulation and the seconds against Seton Hall thanks to a missed free throw by the Pirates. South Florida is now 3-5 in the Big East including a 2-1 record at home but that other conference home win came against 1-8 Rutgers. The lone loss came against Notre Dame by a point but after the Irish loss against Rutgers yesterday, that defeat is looking even worse. Right now the Bulls are the feel good story of the Big East and no longer pushovers however they cannot consistently compete with the upper tier of the conference. That win over Seton Hall, and the two-game streak for that matter, put the opposing teams at attention and not to take these games lightly anymore. The Panthers had lost two straight games after a 5-0 conference start but they rebounded with a home win over St. John’s last time out. It wasn’t a pretty win by any stretch but it was a needed win that stopped some of the bleeding that took place against Georgetown and Seton Hall. Those two games saw the offense struggle but the Panthers will get a break here against the Bulls who have allowed opponents to shoot 46 percent over the last five games. This is far from a must win game on Sunday but Pittsburgh does not want to drop to 6-3 with a brutal stretch coming up. After South Florida, Pittsburgh plays three games against ranked teams in the first three weeks of February as it plays West Virginia twice in a nine-day span and also play host to Villanova. That loss against the Pirates was actually the first road loss of the year as victories this season have come against Cincinnati, Connecticut and Syracuse away from home. The depth of South Florida is a big question. The Bulls had three players go more than 40 minutes Thursday, and only Anthony Crater played significant minutes off the bench. The Panthers have the ability to go nine deep so that is a pretty big edge here. Pittsburgh has played a tougher schedule this season yet have significant edge in key categories including defensive shooting and defensive three point shooting, rebounding margin, free throw percentage and assist/turnover ratio. Pittsburgh is 7-0 ATS this season against teams with a winning percentage between .600 and .800 while South Florida is 2-10 ATS in its last 12 games after coming off a conference win by three points or fewer. The Panthers have dominated this series in the three meetings during Big East play with none of those wins being close. Last season, the Panthers were favored by 21 points at home against the Bulls so we are seeing a huge line swing and one that is simply too big in a span of just one season. The winning streak for South Florida ends Sunday. 9* Pittsburgh Panthers

3* Ohio State (-) over Minnesota

Will start with the numbers for this matchup, as Gophers are 0-3 ATS when getting points this season, 1-7 ATS the last three years as away dogs of this price, 3-8 (1-3 in conf) ATS against winning teams this season, and finally 2-6 ATS vs teams of this defensive class this season. One key fundamental stat is that Ohio State is hitting almost 70% from the free throw line at home this season while Minnesota converting at just 62% rate from the stripe in road games this season. Finally, the home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings, and one of those games came earlier this year as UM won by nine against OSU. However, not only did Evan Turner not play in that game, the Gophers shot 12 and made 15 more free throws than the Buckeyes, with that difference more than accounting for the final margin. Now that OSU is at home expect them to have the zebra edge and thus continue the home domination of this series.

Purdue -15

The 10th-ranked Boilermakers try to keep rolling Sunday afternoon when they welcome in Penn State, which is looking to avoid falling to 0-9 in the Big Ten; for a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value on Purdue in this situation:

Penn State is 10th in the conference in scoring at 66.3 points per game despite the presence of the Big Ten’s top scorer, Talor Battle (19.1 ppg).

Battle had 20 Wednesday against Illinois, but his teammates made 38.0 percent of their shots as the Nittany Lions lost 77-67 and fell to 0-8 in the Big Ten for the first time since opening 0-10 in 2002-03.

The Nittany Lions have lost six of seven to Purdue, and Battle would prefer to forget his last trip to West Lafayette. He missed all seven shots and went scoreless Feb. 11 in a 61-47 loss.

Not only is Penn State 0-5 SU its last five on the road, it's also just 2-5 ATS its last seven overall.

On the other side of the court: Purdue (17-3, 5-3) looked like a Final Four contender in winning 14 straight to open the season, but shot 41.4 percent and was badly outrebounded in losing three straight games Jan. 9-16.

The Boilermakers have corrected both of those problems in reeling off three consecutive wins. Purdue has shot 49.0 percent in its past three victories, and after getting edged on the boards by an average of 11.3 per game during its skid, has outrebounded its last three opponents by 5.3 per contest.

Dating back to last season Purdue is 17-1 ATS its last 18 at Mackey arena and always plays well against Penn State; 5-1 ATS its last six vs. the Nittany Lions.

Bottom line: Despite having one of the nation’s top-scoring trios, coach Matt Painter prefers to see his team win with defense - which it’s done in holding its past two opponents under 60 points; I look for a similar effort on the defensive end, but to see the Boilermakers finally put some significant points on the board this evening; look for PURDUE to improve to 5-3 ATS after allowing 60 points or less in its previous contest and for Penn State to fall to 3-6 ATS vs. conference opponents!

Ohio State -7

The Gophers have not been golden as dogs (0-3 ATS) this season and they don’t figure to arrive with much bite this afternoon in Columbus. The visitor is 4-10 ATS in Minnesota games this season while the host in Buckeye contests is 13-3 ATS. Thad Matta’s crew will be also looking to avenge a 73-62 setback they suffered in Minny three weeks ago and our database says a payback is in order as Ohio State is 13-3 ATS in this series with three or more days of rest, including 7-1 ATS at home. They are also 6-0 SU and ATS at home under Matta when playing with same season loss revenge against an opponent off a win. The Buckeyes have also delivered as favorites this season, posting a healthy 8-3 ATS log when laying points. Meanwhile, the Gophers are 0-3 SU and ATS after clashing with Northwestern. Look for the veteran Buckeyes stay unbeaten at home. We recommend a 3-unit play on Ohio State.

South Florida +3.5

If you just look at the school names and the spread, which many folks do, then this looks easy. At the time I'm writing this, 73% of the reported bets have come in on Pittsburgh. No surprise there. But these USF kids have been playing some improved basketball lately.

Things looked bleak when 6'10" Augustus Gilchrist (18.8 ppg, 7.4 rpg) went down with an ankle injury, but 6'11" Jarrid Famous has stepped in and made a name for himself. Famous is averaging 15 points and 10 rebounds in his last four games. The Bulls also have the best player on the floor in this game in guard Dominique Jones. Jones is averaging 21.4 points, 6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists per game.

Doesn't matter to me whether or not Jermaine Dixon (ankle) plays. I think he will, but he didn't practice yesterday and it might be a smart move to rest him and make sure he's ready for their game at West Virginia on Wednesday. Speaking of that West Virginia game on deck, that makes this game a perfect look-ahead spot for Pitt.

The Bulls play very solid defense, especially at home where they allow opponents to shoot just 38.8% from the floor. Pitt is a solid defensive team as well, but their numbers slip considerably on the road where they're allowing opponents to shoot 45.6%. Pitt only shoots 41.8% from the floor on the road, while USF shoots 45.6% at home.

Bottom line: Oddsmakers opened Pitt as only a 2-point favorite for a reason. Sure, some of that has to do with Dixon's status, but they also know that this is a tough spot for Pitt on the road with WVU up next, and playing a determined USF squad that plays very tough at home. Grab the points with South Florida.

Boston pk

This game means a whole lot more to the Celtics than it does to the Lakers. Boston has lost five of its last seven games and has been even worse at the betting window recently, so playing at home should be a huge boost. At the same time, they are catching the Lakers in a favorable spot as it's LA's seventh road game of an eight-game trip and fourth in six days. Before winning and covering against Eastern Conference bottom-feeders Washington, Indiana and Philadelphia, the Lakers were just 10-8 SU on the road and 6-12 ATS. Keep in mind that they did not cover the first three times they were an underdog this season, losing at Denver, Utah and San Antonio by an average of 15 PPG. After winning outright at Dallas (a team they had beaten by 36 ten days earlier & were in the head of), 100-95, on January 13th as three-point dogs, they would go on to get physically dominated by Cleveland in another underdog loss, dropping them to 1-4 SU/ATS overall when taking points. Prior to last year's season sweep, Los Angeles had failed to cover eight straight times against Boston. Boston is our 20* TV Game of the Month.

3 units ATS Houston Rockets -3.5 (-110)

5* graded play on Houston in the NBA as they take on Phoenix set to start at 7:00 EST. Our proprietary sports handicapping model clearly shows that Houston will win this game by 5 or more points. This is going to a faster paced game and we strongly believe Houston will score 105 or more points. Note that Phoenix is just 7-21 ATS (-16.1 Units) when they allow 105 or more points in a game this season. Houston is 16-5 ATS (+10.5 Units) when they score 105 to 109 points in a game over the last 2 seasons. Phoenix is averaging just 6 steals per game this season and Houston has done very in past games against poor pressure teams going 25-11 ATS over the last 3 seasons. Take Houston
