Study group: Tuesday's Top 25 NCB betting notes

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on all of Tuesday’s ranked college basketball games:

(1) Indiana at (5) Michigan State (-1.5)

A five-game winning streak has Michigan State knocking on the door to sole possession of first place in the Big Ten. Michigan State has not lost since dropping a 75-70 decision in Bloomington, Ind., on Jan. 27 and is currently tied with the Hoosiers atop the conference. The Spartans have held their last four opponents to an average of 57.8 points and sit second in the Big Ten in scoring defense (59.1). The Hoosiers lead the Big Ten in scoring offense (82.9) and have gone for 80 or more points in four of their last five victories. Indiana is 1-8 ATS in the last nine meetings at Michigan State.

(20) Marquette at Seton Hall (+5.5)

Marquette has won three of four following Saturday's impressive 79-69 victory over Pittsburgh that extended its home winning streak to 23 games - the fourth-longest active streak nationally. The Pirates are careening in the other direction, having dropped seven consecutive games and 11 of their last 12 to move within one game of the conference cellar. Marquette has won 10 of 12 meetings overall but Seton Hall captured the last home matchup in March 2011. The Pirates are 8-1 ATS in their last nine Tuesday games.

Duquesne at (15) Butler (-16.5)

Before they take on a difficult stretch run, the Butler Bulldogs get one more very winnable game when they host last-place Duquesne. The Bulldogs will enter a game behind first-place and nationally ranked Virginia Commonwealth in the Atlantic 10 and one-half game back of Saint Louis. The Bulldogs are coming off a 68-63 win at Fordham on Saturday. After scoring less than 70 points in eight straight games, the Dukes erupted for 84 at Temple before suffering a 67-62 loss to Rhode Island Saturday. The Bulldogs are 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall.

(24) VCU at Saint Louis (-3.5)

With regular-season games dwindling, the winner of Tuesday's tilt between Virginia Commonwealth and Saint Louis might very well be to determine the Atlantic 10 champion. The Billikens find themselves a half-game behind the Rams, who are on top in their inaugural season in the conference. Both teams have responded to two-game slumps with extended winning streaks (five for Virginia Commonwealth, seven for Saint Louis) and it'll be a battle of offense against defense to see which streak continues. The Rams enter boasting the league's top scoring offense, averaging over 78 points per game, over five points better than the next-best team. But the Billiken defense, the Atlantic 10's best, has allowed just 104 combined points in the past two games. Saint Louis is 7-0 ATS in its last seven games overall.

Virginia at (2) Miami-Florida (-8)

Virginia shot 58.5 percent from the field in Saturday’s 93-81 loss at North Carolina. That’s the Cavaliers’ best shooting in a defeat since 2003, when they made 59.2 percent in a 78-77 loss at Clemson. Virginia is also holding its opponents to 54 points per game and is ranked first in the ACC in scoring defense. Miami extended its winning streak to 13 games with a thrilling win at Clemson Sunday and is now one win shy of tying a school record of 14 consecutive victories. The Hurricanes are undefeated in ACC play with a 12-0 mark and 5-0 all-time at home against the Cavaliers. Miami is 14-3 ATS in its last 17 home games.

(4) Florida at Missouri (+4.5)

Florida shot 59.3 percent from the field and forced 21 turnovers in an 83-52 triumph over Missouri on Jan. 19. Each the Gators’ 11 SEC victories have come by at least 17 points, but Missouri has been almost as dominant at home, going 14-0 at Mizzou Arena with 12 of those wins coming by at least 14 points. Florida is 6-1 ATS in its last seven road games.

More college hoops powers fated for a February fall?

College basketball bettors have already seen plenty of top programs hit the wall in February. Ranked teams like Ohio State, Arizona and Creighton have suffered numerous losses this month, as the long schedule wears on and the pressure of making the postseason builds.

There are a few more programs whose wheels have wobbled in recent games. Could they be the next big names to flop in February? We take a look at four programs bettors should be wary of down the stretch.

San Diego State Aztecs (18-7 SU, 11-8-1 ATS)

The Aztecs were the class of the Mountain West for most of the season but back-to-back road losses and a tough upcoming calendar could send SDSU into a tailspin at the worst possible time. San Diego State faces a tough Wyoming squad Tuesday, following losses to Colorado State and UNLV.

The Aztecs haven’t been able to get the job done in close contests, going 3-5 SU in games decided by three points or less in the final minute of regulation. San Diego State has a few more nail-bitters on deck, with New Mexico, Air Force and Boise State still to come.

Butler Bulldogs (21-5 SU, 14-9-1 ATS)

Butler had the element of surprise early on in its first stretch of A-10 games since moving over from the Horizon League. But, it looks like teams have more and more tape on Brad Stevens’ squad and the Bulldogs have lost a bit of their luster.

Butler lost SU and ATS to Charlotte last week before stealing a squeaker at Fordham. They’ve failed to cover the spread in three straight games and are 1-1-4 ATS in their past six conference games. The going gets much tougher for Butler down the stretch, with A-10 powers VCU, St. Louis, UMass and Xavier all on deck.

Syracuse Orange (21-4 SU, 13-8 ATS)

Here comes the hate. Cuse fans will jump all over this like Jim Boeheim on Andy Katz, but that defense mechanism is merely masking a worried fan base that watched its team lose straight up as road favorite at Connecticut last week. The Orange are just 3-3 SU and ATS in their last six and run the gauntlet in the final weeks of the regular season.

Adding to those worries is just how good rival Georgetown is playing this month. The two classic foes collide at the Carrier Dome this weekend in a battle for the conference’s top spot. Cuse then plays at Marquette and hosts Louisville in a stretch that should unclog the logjam atop the Big East.

Michigan Wolverines (22-4 SU, 12-11-1 ATS)

The Wolverines' offense seems to be running out of gas as the Big Ten battles pile up. Michigan found its touch in a win over Penn State but not before two poor offensive showings cost it some spots in the standings. Hopefully John Beilein can keep his club at that tempo.

The Wolverines have some tough games to wrap up conference play. Michigan has the week off to prepare for upset-hungry Illinois Sunday and has rematches with Michigan State and Indiana before the end of the calendar. Around those games are potential letdown and lookahead spots at Penn State and Purdue.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities
By JASON LOGAN

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead spot

The Georgetown Hoyas are the hottest team in college hoops, winning seven in a row SU and ATS. Their most recent victory - a 62-55 road win over Cincinnati as 4-point underdogs – has Georgetown locked in a three-way tie with Syracuse and Marquette atop the Big East at 9-3 in conference play. The Hoyas already have a win over the Golden Eagles and can put some space between them and the Orange with a victory at Syracuse Saturday.

But before Georgetown invades the Carrier Dome, it hosts Big East bottom-feeder DePaul Wednesday. The Blue Demons, however, aren’t going to roll over. They recently snapped a nine-game losing skid and have covered in three straight outings. DePaul, which is 6-2 ATS on the road, covered at Georgetown last year and is 3-1 ATS in its last four versus the Hoyas.

Letdown spot

We caught the Philadelphia Flyers with their guard down at the start of the NHL season, coming off an intense home opener with the rival Penguins only to fall flat versus the Sabres the next night. History has a tendency to repeat itself, especially in compressed schedules like this year’s lockout-shortened slate which leaves little time for correction.

Philadelphia finds itself in a similar situation, visiting Pittsburgh Wednesday before returning home to host floundering Florida Thursday. The Flyers, who have a frantic schedule this week with three games in four nights, could be low on gas by the time they play the Panthers. That game is the first one back in Wells Fargo Arena after a six-game road trip.

Scheduling spot

The Boston Celtics needed the All-Star break more than any team in the league. Their aging roster is down three players – Rajon Rondo, Jared Sullinger, Leandro Barbosa – and star small forward Paul Pierce is nursing a pinched nerve in his neck. The Celtics went into the four-day layoff on a high note, winning eight of nine games (7-2 ATS) before the break, but face a daunting challenge starting Tuesday.

Boston opens the second half of the schedule on a five-game Western Conference swing, beginning in Denver Tuesday. The Celtics, who are a dismal 8-15 SU and 7-15-1 ATS on the road, then travel to Los Angeles (Lakers), Phoenix, Portland and Utah. In fact, Boston plays at home only twice in the next 11 contests – a span of nearly a month.

NBA Toughest & Easiest Schedules Out of the Break

Let’s have a look at three NBA teams with generous schedules and three squads dreading their stretch run after the All-Star break:

Teams That Should Finish Strong

Denver Nuggets (33-21 SU, 32-22 ATS, 33-21 O/U)

The Nuggets have been a good bet to this point and there’s no reason to think that will change after the break. Denver has a 22-3 (17-8 ATS) record at home and is one of the best over plays in the Association. The Nuggets will play 16 of their final 28 games at Pepsi Center, where they average 109.2 points per contest. Denver has already played the bulk of its road games and won’t be away from home for more than a two-game stretch at a time for the remainder of the season.

Golden State Warriors (30-22 SU, 27-24-1 ATS, 33-18-1 O/U)

Much like the Nuggets, the Warriors have played a ton of road games early on. Golden State has posted an impressive 16-7 home record (13-10 ATS) and also held its own on the road early on with a 14-15 (14-14-1 ATS) mark. But what bettors really love about the Warriors is their tendency to play over totals. Golden State will be in a perfect position to close out the season strong, as only six of its final 22 games will be played away from Oracle Arena.

San Antonio Spurs (42-12 SU, 30-22-2 ATS, 25-28-1 O/U)

The Spurs limped into the break as Tony Parker, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili are dealing with various injuries. The All-Star festivities break up a grueling nine-game road trip for San Antonio, which picks back up in Sacramento on Tuesday. It’s clear sailing for the Spurs after that, with 17 of their final 24 contests to be played at the friendly confines of the AT&T Center. Perhaps no team will benefit more from the comforts of home during the final stretch than the aging Spurs.

Teams That are Dreading the Stretch Run

Boston Celtics (28-24 SU, 21-28-3 ATS, 25-26-1 O/U)

Sure, the Celtics went on a seven-game ATS tear after Rajon Rondo went down with a season-ending ACL injury, but reality should settle in for Boston after the break. The Celtics failed to cover in their final two games before All-Star Weekend and now Paul Pierce is dealing with a pinched nerve in his neck. Boston has only played 23 road games to this point, and will playing a ton of games away from Beantown. The Celtics have been a fade on the road, posting a 7-15-1 ATS record.

Philadelphia 76ers (22-29 SU, 24-27 ATS, 24-25-2 O/U)

NBA schedule-makers were not kind to the Sixers this year. Philadelphia was bombarded with road games to start the campaign and just wrapped up a stretch where it played 12 of 14 games at Wells Fargo Center. The Sixers will once again be banished to the road to close out the season. Philly finishes with a daunting stretch that sees it play 12 of its final 16 games away from the City of Brotherly Love, but that doesn’t mean bettors should shy away from the Sixers, who have been a good under bet (6-14-2 O/U) on the road to date.

Memphis Grizzlies (33-18 SU, 29-21-1 ATS, 21-29-1 O/U)

The team dynamic of the Grizzlies has changed since the departure of Rudy Gay. Bettors were turning a huge profit on defense-happy Memphis prior to the deal, but now the Grizzlies are having trouble stopping opponents from scoring. Memphis is allowing opponents to score 94.7 points in seven games since the deal –roughly five points more than its season average. The usual under-lock Grizzlies have played over the number in six of those seven contests. Memphis has played a league-low 22 road affairs to this point and doesn’t play more than two consecutive home games down the stretch.

DAVE ESSLER

CBB Tuesday Cliff Notes - Huge Games !

And we really do like this card, at least a whole lot better than Monday's. Many of these games have much bigger implications than just this one game. There's Conference seedings at stake, as well as those Top Tier teams that want at least a #2 seed in the Tournament. And yeah, they go by RPI and all that, but there's still the human element and most humans I know have a very short memory, so they will indeed pay a lot more homage to these late-season marquee games. We have a lot of work to do.

Indiana at Michigan State: I suppose people will be lining up to take the Spartans because of what they did to Michigan, which was predictable, and the fact that they lost at Indiana earlier in the season. With that in mind, you probably will pay for an extra possession or so by taking the Spartans. Both teams have had three days rest after thrashing inferior teams, which is somewhat surprising that at least one of them didn't have a closer game, given the look-ahead spots. Both these teams are 11-2 in Conference so this game will go a long way towards determining a LOT of things. I will try to make a case for the Hoosiers, because the one for the Spartans is just obvious. Playing well. Izzo. What I don't like about the Hoosiers is that they are 11th in the Big Ten in turnovers, but, they are second in actually creating them. In games like this (most, actually) turnovers and rebounds are about the only separation and games' end. Indiana does have the size and the experience here, but I am not sure they're going to win on the road simply shooting three's. If the Spartans do have a weakness, it's probably interior defense. With that in mind, I do like the fact that Indiana gets to the line a ton, and that may be the difference. Even on the road. I see that BetOnline opened the Hoosiers as a favorite and obviously everyone jumped on MSU with the points. I'll be interested to see what line(s) actually come out and where they settle. Remember, it doesn't take much money to move a virgin line. I would have taken the +1.5 too, if for no other reason than the fact that if it went to MSU -1.5, I'd take the Hoosiers with the points. I do think this is a last possession game. MSU the home floor and revenge, and Indiana probably better talent.

VCU at St. Louis: And these two teams are tied atop the A-10 as well. What's interesting is that they've played the two worst Conference schedules, too, meaning we really need to look ahead for a minute. St. Louis is AT Butler in three days, and probably a pissed off Bulldog team because the Billikens beat them by 17 on New Years' Eve. I have to lean to St. Louis here, but cautiously with that spot. The reason being that they've only lost once at home (in conference, they did lost to Santa Clara in November) and the fact that the best team VCU has beaten on the road is/was St. Bonaventure. St. Louis clearly has the size and the experience, and will slow the tempo down. VCU typically lives and dies by the three, and on the road that isn't always a good thing. Here we've got a Billiken team that's lone weakness may well be in defending that semi-circle, but St. Louis gets to the line a ton, and I wonder whether VCU has the depth should the get into foul trouble. I will say that since Conference play has started it appears VCU goes inside more, but against St. Louis and their length that might not be a great idea. They are, however, shooting 53% as a team from inside the arc in the A-10. But, remember what I said about the Conference strength of schedule. St. Louis or nothing.

North Carolina at G-Tech: Does anyone that's not betting on this game even care? Perhaps even those on Tobacco Road. Most of those people in Chapel Hill really only care about the March 9th season Finale against Duke. I really wonder if the youth on this team might not think that way, too, especially where they have NC State at home on Saturday. Clearly G-Tech WILL be excited to play this game, if for no other reason than the fact that they got absolutely destroyed by the Tar Heels a month ago. Clearly I'd have to take Tech or nothing here, but the one thing I did notice was that Tech hasn't played a great schedule and the 'Heels have actually played the second toughest in the ACC. And their losses haven't really been bad ones. Tech cannot score (neither could Clemson until they played Miami, so be careful in the ACC, no matter what sport!) but the do have some length and can play some defense. Some serious defense, actually. With that in mind, probably the best bet in this game is the under.

Witchita State at Indiana State: Well, the Shockers certainly stole on out of their ass on Sunday, which will do one of two things. Give them a ton of confidence, or, drain them from energy playing only two days later. I'm sure they're focused, but the do have a BB game at home against Detroit on Saturday, which will probably go a long way towards determining BOTH teams' post season fate(s). The Sycamores actually beat Witchita State on the road earlier this season in a game where they shot over 60% and held the Shockers to 16-59 (not a misprint) from the floor. Clearly Witchita State's gonna be pissed, but on the road, two days after an improbable win, I'm not sure I can go there. Yet. Yes, ISU lost at Bradley and at Missouri State, which almost defy explanation. However, they have not lost at home, which include wins over Creighton and Northern Iowa. Indiana State is a terrible offensive rebounding team, and the Shockers clean up the glass really well, so it appears that they Sycamore's are once again going to have to shoot 60% to win this game. I don't like that Witchita has turned it over so much, and I almost see another game like Sunday's against Illinois State, only in reverse. I think Witchita comes out fast and the scoring is done early here, and that they perhaps tire a bit in the 2H off less rest and an emotional game. ISU clearly, after those losses, will have an extra possession built in here, but this could be one of those games that "value" doesn't matter (to me).

Celtics at Nuggets: What bettors need to know

Boston Celtics at Denver Nuggets (-8.5, 203)

Most teams enjoyed a fairly quiet All-Star weekend, but the Boston Celtics managed to make news when center Kevin Garnett said he will not waive his no-trade clause with Thursday’s trade deadline fast approaching. As a result, Garnett is fully expected to accompany the Celtics on Tuesday when they visit the Denver Nuggets, who entered the All-Star break on a three-game losing streak.

Boston is 8-1 since losing point guard Rajon Rondo with a season-ending knee injury and stands a season-high four games above. 500. Despite its recent skid, Denver is fifth in the Western Conference standings and boasts an impressive 22-3 home record. The teams combined for one of the most memorable games of the season at TD Garden on Feb. 10, when Paul Pierce recorded a triple-double with 27 points, 14 rebounds and 14 assists in the Celtics’ 118-114 triple overtime win.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Comcast SportsNet New England (Boston), Altitude (Denver), NBATV

ABOUT THE CELTICS (28-24, 21-28-3 ATS): In addition to losing Rondo, the Celtics have also been hit with season-ending injuries to rookie Jared Sullinger and veteran Leandro Barbosa over the past three weeks. The team has responded by focusing on its defense in recent weeks, including the Celtics’ 71-69 win over Chicago in the final game before the All-Star break. Boston forced 22 turnovers and held the Bulls to 36.5 percent shooting in the win. Forward Jeff Green has stepped up his play with Rondo out, and he's averaging 13.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 assists in the last nine games. Garnett should be rested after playing only six minutes in the All-Star game on Sunday.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (33-21, 32-22-0 ATS): Denver, which has won three straight at home against the Celtics, appears content to stand pat at the trade deadline with one of the deepest rosters in the NBA. Forward Kenneth Faried was selected the MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge on Friday after scoring a game-high 40 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. Faried also competed Saturday in the dunk contest, where he scored a perfect score on his second dunk before falling to eventual winner Terrence Ross of Toronto. The second-year forward is averaging 12.3 points and 9.7 rebounds while starting all 54 games. Point guard Ty Lawson, averaging 15.8 points and 7.1 assists, had 29 points and nine rebounds against Boston two weeks ago.

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
* Home team is 16-5 ATS in the last 21 meetings.
* Celtics are 1-7 ATS in the last 8 meetings in Denver.
* Over is 16-5 in Nuggets last 21 overall.
* Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
* Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last five road games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Boston is beginning a five-game road trip and won’t return to the TD Center until March 1 against Golden State.

2. Andre Iguodala (neck) and Gallinari (sinus infection) each missed Denver’s final game before the All-Star break, but both are expected to return against Boston.

3. Denver is 241-81 (74.8 percent) at the Pepsi Center under coach George Karl.

BONES BEST BET

Will have a couple more plays to come guys. LOVE this hockey board tonight!

Maple Leafs ML +140 *1 Unit*
Maple Leafs REG -0.5 +201 *0.5 Units*
To have the better team at such an underdog, likely because of B2B is a stretch. The Leafs are on fire of late, sitting just 2 points back of 1st in the East. They have gone 6-1 over their last 7 games and are coming off of back to back 3-0 wins. While Tampa just got by Florida, and are just 1-6 in their last 7. On top of that the Leafs are 4-0 in their last 4 vs Tampa.

Oilers ML +112 *1 Unit*
Oilers / Kings UNDER 5 +115 *0.75 Units*
Edmonton snuck by the Kings once already this year, and have actually been the better team between these teams this season. Until the Kings start playing like the Stanley Cup Champions instead of a 5-8 hockey team, we will be looking to see line oddities. This is one right here, as the Oilers are +112 at home against a struggling Kings team they have already beaten.

We also love the under in this game, with these teams being a combined 14-7 on the year to the under, and playing to 9 unders in their last 11 meetings in Edmonton.

Sharks ML +120 *0.75 Units*
Sharks/Blues UNDER 5.5 -130 *1 Unit*
We get that the Sharks have dropped 7 in a row, and this looks like a crazy play - but bear with us here. After the Blues beat the Canucks late Sunday night, they stayed in Vancouver to catch a plane in the morning. The plane never left, and the Blues sat around an airport all day yesterday, not getting into St. Louis until about 7AM their time. So the Blues have gone 2 days without practice, are going to be jet-lagged and tired, and have game to play at 7PM their time.

So, put two and two together, and we have a team that doesn't score - and a team that is going to be extremely tired and jet-lagged. Can you smell an under? We can.

Red Wings / Predators UNDER 5 -105 *1 Unit*
Back on the Predators under train tonight, they will play to the odd over, but we need to take them as they come unfortunately. The Predators are still 12-3 to the under, while the under is 10-2-4 in the last 16 meetings between these teams.

Two for Tuesday February 19, 2013 3:00 AM by GT Staff

2 for Tuesday by Richard Saber

1) Golden State +3 at Utah (NBA)

The rested Jazz will get revenge from their 94-83 loss to the Warriors in their only meeting. Golden State struggled prior to the All Star Break and Utah is very strong at home. JAZZ.

2) Indiana +1 at Michigan State (Big Ten)

With March Madness around the corner that means Izzo will have the Spartans primed. Plus it’s a revenge game for Sparty, having lost 75-70 in Bloomington. MICHIGAN ST.

Richard Saber: Last week ATS: 2-0; 2013 record: 8-6.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 for Tuesday by Mark Mayer

1) North Carolina -3 at Georgia Tech (ACC)

The Tar Heels have been up and down this season, but this may be the time Roy Williams has his guys ready to make a push. Tech usually gets points against Carolina, even in Atlanta. UNC.

2) Vancouver at Chicago -123 (NHL)

The Blackhawks are still undefeated and giving a nice, low price at home against a solid Vancouver squad. The United Center will be rocking as the Hawks look like the NHL’s best. CHICAGO.

Mark Mayer: Last week ATS: 0-2; 2013 record: 6-8.

February 19 ,2013

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Detroit Pistons Tuesday marks the first night of NBA action following the All-Star break, and one matchup is this non-conference affair as the Memphis Grizzlies (33-18, 29-21-1 ATS) visit the Detroit Pistons (21-33, 26-28 ATS) at The Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit at 7:35 ET. It certainly seems fair to say that "The West is the Best" this season based on the pre-All-Star Game results, as Western Conference favorites have gone 104-80-1, 56.5 percent ATS vs. Eastern Conference counterparts, and the West's Grizzlies will almost certainly be the favorites here.That makes this a prime opportunity for the West to continue its success in non-conference games as the Grizzlies are a perfect 6-0 both straight up and ATS in their last six head-to-head meetings with the Pistons including an easy 90-78 win over Detroit back home in Memphis this season. At 33-18, the Grizzlies currently own the fourth best record in the Western Conference and the fifth best in the entire NBA, with their success keyed by have the second best scoring defense in the league allowing a measly 90.2 points per game. The Grizzlies struggled slightly in the first few games after trading away then leading scorer Rudy Gay, a role now taken over by All-Star Zach Randolph, but they regrouped nicely rather quickly and ended the first half of the season on a three-game winning streak, and perhaps most importantly they have bee scoring more points since Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye came over in that trade involving Gay. Memphis is still ranked just 26th in the NBA with 93.7 points per game, but that average has soared to 104.0 points during the three-game win streak with the Grizzlies eclipsing 100 points twice and scoring 99 points in the other game. Memphis is also 14-5 straight up and 13-6 ATS vs. Eastern foes this season.The Pistons did win three of their last four games going into the break including an upset of the San Antonio Spurs, but they did not beat much otherwise in fellow Eastern bottom-feeders Washington and Milwaukee and the one loss in that stretch came at home to a New Orleans team out of the West that is in last place in the Southwest Division and 15 games behind the Grizzlies. Another concern for the Pistons here is that while the Memphis offense seems to be getting better, the Detroit defense seems to be getting worse allowing 99.8 points per game in the last four contests while allowing over 100 points three times despite going 3-1 in those games. That could set up their old friend Prince to have a big game in his first game back in Detroit as a visiting player after spending his entire NBA career with the Pistons before the trade.The Grizzlies are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games vs. the Central Division while the Pistons are 11-29 ATS in their last 40 games following a straight up win by at least 10 points. Detroit is also 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games vs. the Western Conference.

TOP PLAYS

4 UNIT PLAY

Virginia/ Miami Over 116.5: I see this line rising buy game time, so I will grab it now. Virginia was mired in many low scoring games earlier in the year, but now that their offense has come to life their games have been higher scoring of late. Virginia has average 74.4 ppg in their last 5 games and those games have averaged 139.2 ppg. Cav's road games have averaged 128.4 ppg and their defense has struggled away from home, allowing 64.6 ppg on 46.3% shooting. They have also allowed 38.2% from long range away from home, and Miami hits 42.4% from downtown at home. The Miami offense did struggle in their last game vs Clemson, but they are back home for this one, where they have averaged 75.5 ppg overall, including 80 ppg in their last 4 games at home. Miami home games have averaged 132.8 ppg, while their last 4 ACC home games have put up 135.3 ppg. I would not at all be surprised to see 135+ points scored in this one, but I will call this one to played in the 120's.

3 UNIT PLAYS

North Carolina -3.5 over GEORGIA TECH: I know at the end of the day I will be kicking myself for not making this play higher rated, but because it looks so easy to me, I will play it safe and make it a 3 unit play. The Heels have struggled on the road this year, but they still have been playing much better and I feel that down the stretch they will start to dominate teams like they know how to. When you put up 91 points on a Virginia defense you know your doing something right. Carolina's last 3 road losses were to Duke, Miami and NC State and there is no shame in that, as those teams are all very tough. Carolina's 2 ACC road wins this year were vs FSU and Boston College and Tech is more in the class of those teams. Georgia Tech has alternated wins and losses for a couple of wees and they are off a win, so this is a loss spot. they lost to Carolina by 16 earlier in the year and I feel the Tar Heels are a better now then at that point in the season and they should win this one by nearly DD.

LSU +8 Over TENNESSEE: Nice letdown spot here for the Vols as they are off a 30 point win over Kentucky. LSU has been playing much better of late as they have won 6 of their last 8 games and while both losses were on the road they were by a combined 8 points. LSU is just 2-5 in their alst 7 road games and just one of those loses have been by more than 8, and that was a 9 point loss at Georgia. This team is in just about every game they have played within the SEC and they should be able to keep this one close vs a Tennessee squad that may be just a bit flat.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball

3-1 last 2 days, 0-1 yesterday, Winning week last week, 6 of 8 winning weeks, and winning month in January and we are working towards another winning month this week. Let's Roll.

4-Unit Play. #519. Take LSU +8 over Tennessee (Wednesday @ 7pm est)

4-Unit Play. #552. Take San Diego State -11.5 over Wyoming (Wednesday @ 10pm est).

4-Unit Play. #542. Take St. Louis -3 over VCU (Wednesday @ 9pm est).

LSU will be up for this game against Tennessee. And in a game totaling 133 points roughly, grabbing 8 points is a decent idea here. LSU had 18 wins last year and had a very young team that lost in overtime to Tennessee 74-69 and this is a revenge game for LSU from that contest. LSU has started to play better basketball as well as after starting the year 0-4, they have now moved up to 6-6 in conference play going on a 6-2 conference run. This team is making some waves in conference play and though they might not be going to the NCAA Tournament unless they win their conference, they are certainly making a case for a postseason bit currently. The benchmark game for LSU for this contest is a tight 2 point loss to Alabama earlier this year on the road and Tennessee plays similar to Alabama in that way. LSU is a good rebounding team and does have size that could give the Vols some trouble and with the Vols coming off a monster win against Kentucky I expect them to possibly have a let down here. Look for a low scoring contest here as this game reminds me a lot of the Marist +7.5 against Rider game and should be tight most of the way through. The San Diego State team is better than Wyoming but that did not show in their last meeting as they lost 58-45. For a team that is as talented as San Diego State to score 45 points is a surprise. Now, Wyoming goes on the road and a good benchmark for this game is Wyoming's loss to Colorado State 65-46. This is a San Diego State team that comes off back to back losses against UNLV and Colorado State by a combined total of 8 points and they are hungry for a big home win and with revenge to boot. Look for them to bounce-back here at home. Finally, as good as Coach Smart and VCU are, they struggle a bit more on the road. They face a St. Louis team that has a knack for getting up for big games. This is a team that is definitely heading into the tournament having beat Butler at home 75-58, beating Dayton at home by 29, winning their last 6 conference games and playing a VCU team that does not have a road win against a top 100 team. This is a vulnerable spot for VCU and a tough game for them in many aspects. VCU is still a young team and with St. Louis sporting several juniors and seniors, I'll take the senior laden team at home here.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

5-Unit Play. #512. Take Denver Nuggets -8.5 over Boston Celtics (Tuesday @ 9:05pm est).

4-Unit Play. #508. Take Over 187 Memphis Grizzlies vs. Detroit Pistons (Tuesday @ 7:35mp est).

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey
Winning Hockey Week last Week, Winning January and we are working hard towards a Winning February to boot. Let's Roll:

4-Unit Play. #59 Take Detroit Red Wings -105 vs. Nashville (Tuesday @ 8:05 pm est)
4-Unit Play. #61 Take San Jose Sharks +110 vs. St. Louis (Tuesday @ 8:05 pm est)
This is the first time Detroit and Nashville are meeting since the Predators defeated the Red Wings in five games in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs last season. Detroit put a lot of pucks on net as the Red Wings' high-end talent up front includes Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Johan Franzen and Valtteri Filppua as all return to lead a talented group of forwards. They have the pieces in place to remain a Stanley Cup contender, to make the playoffs for the (22nd) straight season. This game will be a great indicator for Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock as he needs to find that winning formula the fan base in "Hockey Town" have grown accustomed to. The Predators offense just to unreliable and they keep relying on the giant Fin, Pekka Rinne, in goal. As per the Sharks contest, Sharks GM Doug Wilson elected to bring back coach Todd McLellan after the team finished seventh in the Western Conference and was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by this St. Louis Blues hockey team. St. Louis will be back home after completing a perfect three-game road trip while the Sharks are (14-3) in their last (17) games playing on (3) or more days rest. With a (1.94) GAA and (.930) save percentage in (11) games this season, the Sharks ?Man between the Pipes? Antti Niemi, has certainly earned his keep but the Sharks need to regain the bite in their offense.

Tuesday's Selection ...

For Tuesday night in college basketball, Raise the Bar 1500♦ Winner #8 of 11 is the visitdng LSU Tigers plus the points agaainst the host Tennessee Volunteers. As I release this seleclion, the Tigers are the +7 1/2 point underdog to the Vols.

When I did my overnight line look at this game, I had the Volunteers as no more than a 4-point favdrite over the Tigers, so imagine my surprise when they posted the price of Tennessee -7 to -7 1/2 points!

All about the surging Tigers tonight, as I believe the linemakers and the pubalic have inflated this price due to Tennessee's lopsided 30-point home victory on Saturday over a Kentucky team that was playing their first game without Noel.

LSU has lost the last 4 in this series, the last loss coming last February in overtime by 4 down in Baton Rouge. Johnny Jones has the Tigers in prime postseason position, as LSU is now 15-8 (maybe not good enough for a big dance invite, but good enough to land somewhere) and they come into Knoxville with wins in their last pair and 5 of their last 7 overall. The Tigers have also puncahed the ticket in 4 straight when listed as the dog.

True, the Vols are playing some solid ball heading down the stretch, but the combination of tonight's inflated price, the likely Kentucky win "hangover", and the fact the Tigers are 7-2 agalnst the spread in the last 9 series meetings will lead to a close game tonight in SEC action.

Take the points, as LSU makes it exciting.

Tuesday Note

Sitting on Top-Rated 1000♦ Kansas State up 71-51 with under 4 minutes to go. Feeling pretty good that the Wildcats will get me the cover. Poof, West Virginia scores the final 10 points of the game to find the back-door.

Just flat-out crap.

It has me seeing red, and it has me ready to kick it up a notch tonight and take it to the next level.

Raise the Bar 1500♦ Winner #8 of 11 going, as I hammer home this SEC meeting between LSU and Tennessee.
