ANAHEIM -½ +118 over Dallas (REG) Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
There's 30 games remaining for the Ducks to get into the playoffs and the push is on. After last night's win in Phoenix, Anaheim has now won 10 of 12 games. Both losses over that span were 1-0 scores and one of them was in OT against Calgary and the other was to Dallas in a game they outshot the Stars 27-16. The Ducks could conceivably be on a 12-game winning streak. That loss to Dallas came in the team's final game before the break and now we get to play the Ducks at home with one game in the bank after the break while the Stars have been off for a full week. By contrast, that fortunate win by Dallas was its only victory in its past six. Dallas scored two goals or fewer in all six of those games. They do get Jamie Benn and Brenden Morrow back but chances are those two are going to need a game or two to get their legs going again. The Ducks are rolling big time. They're having fun for the first time all year and can't wait to get back on the ice and get back to work. You can see it in their body language and you can see it in everything else they're doing. This is no longer a frustrated team. This is no longer a frustrated Ducks team but definitely one to fear. Play Anaheim -½ +118 (Risking 2 units).

Miami/ Milwaukee Over 194: The Bucks don't look like they have missed Andrew Bogut as they have hit 100+ points in their last 4 games, including hitting 100 points on the road vs a very good Chicago defense. Tonight this improving offensive team gets a crack at a Miami team that has not has not been that great on defense this year. Miami comes in allowing 96.2 ppg on the year, while on the road they have allowed 101.2 ppg, which includes allowing 98 points to a pathetic Detroit offense in their last game. Milwaukee has done a good job at the defensive end this year, allowing just 94.2 ppg overall and 93.1 ppg at home, and they did hold the Heat to just 82 points in the last meeting, but that was without Wade and with Wade back in this one they will not be held that low in points here. The Heat come in ranked second in the league in scoring at 104 ppg, 1st in FG% (48.6%) and 6th in 3pt shooting (38.2%) and with a healthy Wade here they should be able to hit at least the century mark here, while the Bucks hit at least 95 points of their own. I look for this game to be played in the 200's.

Free pick 702 ORL -9.5 (-110) (http://www.pregameaction.com/?page_id=4)5dimes (http://www.5dimes.com/) vs 701 WASAnalysis: The NBA season is full of highs and lows. Right now Orlando is going through its lowest low with four consecutive losses.
Luckily for the Magic, the NBA schedule-maker is there to rescue them. The Magic get to host the Washington Generals today ... err make that Washington Wizards.
When it comes to playing on the road, though, the Wizards can easily be mistaken for the Generals, a frequent patsy opponent of the Harlem Globetrotters.
The Wizards have lost 47 of their past 51 road contests. They are 15-36 ATS in these games.
Washington is 4-17 on the season. The Wizards have defeated Toronto, Charlotte twice and stunned Oklahoma City. They have failed to cover in seven of their nine road games this season. This marks their fourth game in six days.
The Magic have lost to the Celtics, Hornets in New Orleans, Pacers and 76ers during their four-game losing streak. Orlando is desperate for not only a victory, but an impressive win at that.
You couldn't ask for a more obliging opponent to host than the Wizards. Not only is Washington dysfunctional and immature, but they also are without second-leading rebounder Andray Blatche. He's out with a strained calf muscle.
Orlando has won seven straight against Washington with all of the victories except one coming by 10 or more points. The last one came on Jan. 4 at Amway Center, 103-85. Dwight Howard destroyed the Wizards in that game with 28 points and 20 points.
The Wizards have had no answer for Howard, who has made a stunning 70 of 90 shots from the floor against the Wizards during the past seven meetings while averaging 26 points a game. Blatche being out isn't going to help Washington in defending Howard.

Free pick 771 Wyoming -3.0 (-110) Bookmaker.com (http://www.pregameaction.com/?page_id=8) vs 772 TCUAnalysis: Play On: Wyoming
Note: What's this? Wyoming in the thick of the Mountain West Conference chase? Believe it. Head coach Larry Shyatt, returning to the program he led to a 19-9 record way back in 1998 before skipping town to take over at Clemson, has rescued the Cowboys from their 20-42 debacle of the previous two seasons and is sitting pretty at 17-4 (Wyoming 15-1 SU and 10-2 ATS versus sub .777 opposition at press time). Defense has been the key as the Pokes have limited opponents to a piddling 53 PPG, thanks in large part to the play of USC transfer Leonard Washington. Meanwhile, the Frogs are flirting with yet another visit to the conference cellar and find themselves off a New Mexico revenger (0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS after the Lobos) with a San Diego State revenger on deck… not a good situation for a squad that's just 1-5 ATS in lined home games at press time. There's also a little matter of MWC tourney revenge lurking in the wings here as the Horned Ones sent the Cowboys packing in the opening round of last year's league tournament. Bottom line is we're not leaping with a bunch of Frogs that haven't had a winning season since 2004-05 against a Wyoming squad on the rise. We recommend a 1-unit play on Wyoming. Thank you and good luck as always.

Minnesota -3 over Indiana

Since Jan, 18th, the Pacers have played eight games. This will be their ninth game and ninth straight time that they've had to board a plane and head to their next destination. That's nine plane rides in 14 days. Playing an undermanned Nets team last night (New Jersey had 10 players dressed), the Pacers were forced to the limit, eventually winning by seven in a game they led by three with 50 seconds remaining. By the time it ended, the Pacers were gassed. Under these conditions, Indiana is now being asked again to travel to another time zone and play the relentless Timberwolves. Minnesota has won three of four with only loss over that span coming against the Lakers in a game they trailed by 18 and took a 2-point lead with about four minutes to go before losing. The T-Wolves’ tenacity makes them difficult to play against when you're tired. They've been at home two of the past three games, they were off last night and they figure to be the more prepared team. Indiana also plays the world champion Mavericks on Friday night and in terms of favorable situations, they don't get much better than this one. Play: Minnesota -3 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Kansas Jayhawks
The Kansas Jayhawks (17-4, 10-10 ATS) will look to get back to their winning ways in the Big 12 on Wednesday night when the Oklahoma Sooners (13-7, 7-9 ATS) come a calling to Lawrence; tip-off from Phog Allen Fieldhouse is scheduled to go live on ESPNU at 9:00 ET.

Though the conference slate hasn’t treated OU as nicely as the non-conference slate did, Coach Lon Kruger’s squad looks to be on the up and up and destined to represent in one of the lesser post season tournaments. The Sooners enter tonight’s tough road challenge a win away from matching last season’s 14 win campaign, but face a steep uphill climb over their next three against KU, Iowa State, and Mizzou. However, they’ll look to sweep their Sunflower State rivals on the road after scoring the outright 63-60 win at K-State over the weekend. The true road win was the Sooners first of the season after falling to Cincinnati, Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M in their previous four road tussles (1-3 ATS). For Oklahoma to have any shot in this one, Steven Pledger – the team’s leading scorer – will have to put forth an effort reminiscent to the one he posted last Saturday when he went off for 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting.

For the first time this season, Kansas will take to the conference hardwood a loser after coming up short in Ames over the weekend. Iowa State gave them one of their toughest tests at home in the team’s first meeting of the season back in mid January, so it came as no surprise to see them fall woefully short of covering the seven-point spread in the 72-64 outright defeat. Because of falling at Hilton Coliseum for the first time in seven years, the Jayhawks lead atop the Big 12 standings has been trimmed to one-game over both Missouri and Baylor. Expect a solid effort by Kansas in this spot since the Sooners beat them over the course of the first 20 minutes (34-33) of their first meeting back on January 7th before blowing their doors off in the second half en route to the 72-61 road win and cover. KU checks in an unblemished 11-0 SU & 6-4 ATS in their 10 lined true home games to date.

To say that Kansas has dominated Oklahoma on the hardwood much like the Sooners own the Jayhawks on the gridiron would be putting it lightly. In fact, Oklahoma possesses just one outright win (2005) in the team’s L/10 overall meetings, but they’ve split versus the ATS proceedings comfortably covering both match-ups last season as double-digit underdogs. The first go round snapped a string of four straight ‘overs’ dating back to the 2008 season. OU’s covered just four of their L/13 road games and only two of their L/9 versus the Big 12, while Kansas has put forth a 9-2-1 ATS tally following its L/12 SU losses.
