# 8 FIRST VICTORY 20/1

My selection in this event is EMPIREMEISTER. Will probably come out sharp - I have liked the way this gelding has moved sharply to the lead recently. ZULU LEGEND - This gelding should be given consideration just off the earnings per start in dirt sprint contests alone. I would like this gelding on the rider and trainer numbers alone. FIRST VICTORY - Have to suppose this one will do well following the quick return to the races.

# 6 PEGASUS CHAMP 3/1

# 5 WATER PREACHER 9/2

# 4 ALTA ALPHA 12/1

PEGASUS CHAMP is my choice. Vaunts reliable Equibase Speed Figures on average overall when measured up against the rest of this group. Could beat this group of horses given the 56 speed rating garnered in his last outing. The average Equibase class rating of 51 makes this one hard to beat. WATER PREACHER - With a quite good 50 speed fig last time out, will clearly be a factor in this race. ALTA ALPHA - The Lasix change (with second time Lasix) may spark a turnaround for this colt. With a nice class rating average of 65, has one of the most favorable class advantages in this group.

#2 NORTHERN BEAUTY (ML=8/1)
#1 NIGHTLIFE (ML=6/1)
#6 CHARLY'S CHARM (ML=2/1)


NORTHERN BEAUTY - The addition of Lasix might make this horse wake up right here. NIGHTLIFE - This filly likes to be near the lead. Today's contest is a shorter trip and should aid her chances. This filly is the longer price of the 'split' entry from the barn of Coletti. CHARLY'S CHARM - Using this rider/trainer combination is a good choice. This horse could be tough today, especially since Sanchez rode last race out and now should be acquainted with this one. Generally speaking, horses on Lasix for the 1st time should be considered. That's what we have here.

Vulnerable Contenders: #3 DIVA DRAMA (ML=7/5),

DIVA DRAMA - Most of the time I need a sprinter to have some recent success in sprint events in order to back her.

Sacramento Kings vs. Toronto Raptors Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NBA Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

The Toronto Raptors aim to stretch their home winning streak to 10 games when they face the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday. Toronto is a stellar 20-4 at Scotiabank Arena, with its most recent setback occurring on Dec. 9 against Milwaukee.

Kawhi Leonard is expected to be back in the lineup after being rested for the last two games, including Saturday's easy 119-90 win over Memphis in which he wasn't needed. "That was awesome," Raptors coach Nick Nurse told reporters after his team drained 17-of-36 3-point attempts. "We hadn't had one like that in a while. It was good to see some of our shooters make some shots." Sacramento is 1-2 on its six-game road trip after falling apart in the fourth quarter of Monday's 123-94 loss to Brooklyn as it was outscored 30-9 in the period. "Everybody got brain dead," shooting guard Buddy Hield told reporters. "We didn't execute. One dribble, pass. One dribble, shot. Come down, one dribble, shot. No ball movement, no continuity."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS California (Sacramento), TSN (Toronto) LINE: Raptors -10.5

ABOUT THE KINGS (24-23): Reserve Bogdan Bogdanovic was one of the few players to excel against the Nets as he recorded 22 points and a career-high 11 assists in 32 minutes. "He's a very cerebral, high-level thinker, and the things he can do with the basketball, he can make a lot of plays for himself," coach Dave Joerger told reporters. "But actually, I think he's a better playmaker than he is a shooter, and I think he's a heck of a shooter." Bogdanovic has scored 17 or more points in four of his last five games and is averaging 17.4 during that stretch.



ABOUT THE RAPTORS (35-13): Danny Green scored a season-best 24 points and matched his career high of eight 3-pointers - seven of which he made in the third during the romp over Memphis to set the franchise record for most in a single quarter. Green scored 21 points during his third-quarter explosion to fall one shy of teammate Kyle Lowry's franchise mark for a period but downplayed his torrid shooting exhibition. "It was a lot of open ones," Green told reporters. "It wasn't like they were tough, contested or difficult shots. Just run the floor, get to the corner and get to the space."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Raptors have won each of the last three meetings, including a 114-105 win in Sacramento on Nov. 7.

2. Kings SG Iman Shumpert had a dismal 1-of-10 shooting performance against the Nets and is just 11-for-46 over his last five contests.

3. Toronto F OG Anunoby (personal reasons) is expected to miss his fourth straight game.

PREDICTION: Raptors 115, Kings 102

Portland Trail Blazers vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NBA Predictions 22nd January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/22/2019

The Oklahoma City Thunder have snapped a slump with consecutive victories and they aim to keep the momentum going when they host the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday. The Thunder dropped five of six games before sweeping a two-game road trip against the Philadelphia 76ers and New York Knicks.

Forward Paul George scored 31 points for the second straight game in Monday's 127-109 victory over the Knicks, while point guard Russell Westbrook narrowly missed a triple-double with 17 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists. "We took care of business," Westbrook told reporters afterward. "We were locked in. When we're locked in as a team, it's tough to beat us." Portland opened a three-game road trip with a 109-104 win over the Utah Jazz on Monday for its third straight win and ninth in the past 12 games. The strong showing against the Jazz allowed the Trail Blazers to move a season-high 10 games over .500.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBATV, NBCS Northwest (Portland), FS Oklahoma LINE: Thunder -5.5

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (29-19): Star point guard Damian Lillard had 26 points, eight rebounds and eight assists against Utah for his sixth straight 20-point effort and is averaging 27.3 points during the stretch. Center Jusuf Nurkic scored 17 of his 22 points and recorded four of his six blocked shots - which matched a career high - during a third quarter in which Portland scored 39 points to take control of the contest. "Overall the second half was better," Nurkic said in a postgame television interview. "We came for the win and we know how hard it is to win on the road."



ABOUT THE THUNDER (28-18): Six players scored in double digits against the Knicks and two of them were reserves as guard Dennis Schroder scored 17 points and forward Abdel Nader tallied 16. "We've been preaching this all year long that the first group and second group have to be hitting on all cylinders, have to help each other," George told reporters. "Our second unit came in and did the same job." Starting forward Jerami Grant scored 16 points against New York for his sixth straight double-digit effort and he is averaging 16.3 points over his past six games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. George scored 37 points and Westbrook added 31 on Jan. 4 when the Thunder posted a 111-109 victory to halt an eight-game losing streak in Portland.

2. Nurkic has seven 20-point outings in the past 14 games.

3. Oklahoma City C Steven Adams has scored in double digits in eight straight games and is 50-of-70 from the field during the stretch.

PREDICTION: Thunder 109, Trail Blazers 107

LA Clippers vs. Dallas Mavericks Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NBA Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

The Los Angeles Clippers ended a five-game slide to open their four-game road trip and look to carry the momentum into Tuesday's contest against the Dallas Mavericks. Los Angeles won for just the fourth time in 11 games with Sunday's 103-95 victory at San Antonio.

The Clippers lost by 18 or more points three times during their five-game skid, but the effort was much better on Sunday as they forced the Spurs into 18 turnovers. "The energy was great," Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers told reporters. "Every single guy that came in gave us a lift." The Mavericks have lost four straight games and 15 of their last 20 after falling 116-106 in Milwaukee on Monday, even though rookie Luka Doncic posted his first career triple-double with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. "I didn't play good at all," Doncic told reporters afterward of his 6-of-17 shooting performance. "I missed some shots that I shouldn't miss."

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), FS Southwest (Dallas) LINE: Mavericks -4.5

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (25-21): Tobias Harris flirted with a triple-double against the Spurs, registering 27 points, nine rebounds and nine assists, but was more interested in talking about the team's performance than his impressive stats. "This is one of the most satisfying wins for us," Harris told reporters. "We knew it was a collective effort from everyone." Los Angeles had five players score in double digits while playing without stellar sixth man Lou Williams (hamstring), who could miss his third straight game on Tuesday.



ABOUT THE MAVERICKS (20-26): Disgruntled point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is slated to rejoin the team Tuesday after a six-game absence tied to his unhappiness that his role is different this season due to the emergence of Doncic. Coach Rick Carlisle said he and Smith "spoke at length" on Sunday, and that Smith "is feeling better and plans to resume workouts in preparation for his return." The 21-year-old Smith is averaging 12.6 points, 3.9 assists and 2.6 rebounds this campaign after posting 15.2, 5.2 and 3.8 as a rookie last season.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The teams split this season's first two meetings, but the Clippers have won 10 of the last 16 matchups.

2. Los Angeles F Danilo Gallinari (back) did not accompany the team on its three-game trip after being injured during Friday's contest against Golden State.

3. Dallas SF Harrison Barnes is just 14-of-48 shooting over his last three games.

PREDICTION: Clippers 112, Mavericks 107

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Phoenix Suns Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NBA Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

Derrick Rose added another highlight to his remarkable comeback season Sunday against the Phoenix Suns at home. Rose will try to follow up a memorable performance when he leads his Minnesota Timberwolves into a rematch with the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday.

The former MVP, who played just 25 games with two teams last season, capped a 29-point second half with a jumper in the final second to lift the Timberwolves to a 116-114 victory in the front end of the home-and-home set. "It was all up to my teammates and the coaches for giving me that confidence, putting the ball in my hands and just believing in me," Rose told reporters. The Suns finished an 0-4 road trip with the loss and return to the desert hoping to extend their two-game home winning streak. Rookie center Deandre Ayton (ankle) sat out Sunday's matchup -- the first missed game of his career -- and is not expected to return Tuesday.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS North (Minnesota), FS Arizona (Phoenix) LINE: Timberwolves -5.5

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (22-24): Center Karl-Anthony Towns scored 30 points to go along with 12 rebounds and a career high-tying four steals Sunday. The 23-year-old made all 13 of his free throws and is 22-of-22 from the line over his last three games. Taj Gibson chipped in 17 points on 7-of-8 from the field, and the veteran forward has made 20-of-29 shots in a four-game hot stretch.



ABOUT THE SUNS (11-37): T.J. Warren led Phoenix with 21 points in Sunday's loss, the second two-point setback on the trip for the Western Conference's last-place team. "I think we played well enough to deserve to win this game, but again, we didn't find a way to close the game," coach Igor Kokoskov told reporters. "It's just a bad taste in our mouth after this loss, but we have to learn from mistakes." Kelly Oubre Jr. is averaging 20.3 points over his last seven games after chipping in 18 off the bench Sunday.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Timberwolves SF Robert Covington (ankle) has missed 10 straight games.

2. Suns SG Devin Booker scored 28 points to lead the Suns to a 107-99 win in the first matchup between the teams in Phoenix on Dec. 15.

3. Rose is averaging 23 points over his last three games despite shooting 1-for-12 from 3-point range.

PREDICTION: Timberwolves 114, Suns 112

San Jose Sharks vs. Washington Capitals Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NHL Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

While the Washington Capitals had no trouble creating offense last time out, they still were unable to put an end to their season-high five-game losing streak. The Capitals attempt to halt the slide when they host the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday.

Washington scored a total of four goals in its first four setbacks before breaking out in Chicago on Sunday, but it still suffered an 8-5 defeat to fall to 0-4-1 during a skid that has cost it first place in the Metropolitan Division. While the Capitals finally managed to produce offensively, the output did not come from their expected sources as the team's defense corps recorded all five goals against the Blackhawks. San Jose is also struggling as it has been outscored 18-8 while losing the first three contests of its four-game road trip after beginning the month with seven consecutive victories. Timo Meier scored a goal and set up another in Monday's 6-2 setback at Florida, ending his 17-game drought and leaving him two shy of matching the career high of 21 he scored last season.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS California (San Jose), NBCS Washington, Sportsnet East, Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet Pacific, TVA

ABOUT THE SHARKS (28-16-7): San Jose will be without Erik Karlsson for a third straight game as the defenseman deals with a lower-body injury. The 28-year-old Swede, who has collected three goals and 40 assists over 47 contests in his first season with the Sharks, has not been ruled out of participating in the All-Star Game on Saturday at SAP Center. Joe Thornton is five assists away from tying Gordie Howe for ninth place on the all-time list after notching the 1,044th of his career Monday.



ABOUT THE CAPITALS (27-16-5): John Carlson led the charge for Washington on Sunday, registering his first two-goal performance of the season to end his 11-game drought. The 29-year-old defenseman has netted only three tallies in his last 39 contests after scoring in five of his first eight this season. Captain Alex Ovechkin leads the league with 33 goals but has recorded only four over his last 16 games.

OVERTIME

1. Capitals RW T.J. Oshie has collected three goals and four assists over his last seven games.

2. San Jose D Brent Burns, who leads the team with 53 points, needs one goal to become the ninth member of the team to reach double digits.

3. Washington's slide is its longest since it dropped five straight games from Oct. 26-Nov. 4, 2014.

PREDICTION: Capitals 5, Sharks 3

Arizona Coyotes vs. Ottawa Senators Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NHL Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

The Arizona Coyotes and Ottawa Senators are both struggling to stay out of the basement in their respective divisions, but both teams are playing well entering the final week leading to the All-Star break. The Coyotes have earned points in six of their last seven contests (5-1-1) as they continue their six-game road trip with a visit to Ottawa on Tuesday night.

With the exception of an embarrassing rout in Calgary, Arizona is on a solid run with wins over San Jose and Toronto sandwiched around an overtime loss to Pittsburgh. "We're really finding our identity here and how we want to play as a team," Vinnie Hinostroza said after the Coyotes opened the trek with Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Maple Leafs. Ottawa was denied in its bid for a third straight victory, falling at St. Louis 3-2 on Saturday after posting consecutive three-goal wins over Colorado and Carolina. Goaltender Craig Anderson, who made 35 saves against the Blues after sitting out 12 games due to a concussion, will make the start against the Coyotes.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Arizona Plus, TSN5, RDS (Ottawa)

ABOUT THE COYOTES (22-22-4): Netminder Darcy Kuemper has yet to lose in regulation in 2019, posting a 5-0-2 mark in seven starts this month after turning aside 24 shots against the potent Maple Leafs. "I feel good," said Kuemper, who is three starts shy of matching his career high of 28. "I'm just trying to get some treatment when I can and keep my body ready. I always try to prepare like I'm playing every game even when I'm not, so it doesn't really make any difference how many games I play." Backup Calvin Pickard, acquired on waivers from Philadelphia in late November, could make his Arizona debut this week.



ABOUT THE SENATORS (19-25-5): Ottawa has major decisions to make concerning its top three goals scorers prior to next month's trade deadline as Mark Stone, Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel are all scheduled to become unrestricted free agents. Multiple reports over the weekend said Duchene's agents were offered an eight-year deal between $8 and $9 million annually and the numbers are expected to be similar for Stone. "It makes you think. You never know what a team's forecast is going to be," forward Bobby Ryan said. "It's human instinct to always think the grass is greener and you never know until you experience it."

OVERTIME

1. The Coyotes have won the last three meetings, including a 5-1 romp on Oct. 30.

2. Ryan will appear in his 400th game with Ottawa and 778th overall.

3. Coyotes F Clayton Keller has scored in back-to-back games after managing one goal in the previous 21.

PREDICTION: Senators 3, Coyotes 2

New York Islanders vs. Chicago Blackhawks Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NHL Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

The New York Islanders have ascended to the top of the Metropolitan Division due in large part to a stifling defense that has yielded two goals or fewer in nine of their last 12 outings -- and in each contest of their five-game winning streak. The Islanders bid to continue their stingy ways and match a season-high winning streak Tuesday when they visit the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center.

Robin Lehner earned NHL First Star of the Week honors after turning aside 65 of 67 shots to win all three of his starts, including New York's 3-0 win against Anaheim on Sunday. "The last three games have been amazing -- Jersey, Washington, we have really suffocated them," said the 27-year-old Swede, who has won 11 of his last 12 games and leads the league with a slim 2.02 goals-against average. The Islanders have won a season-high six in a row on the road heading into Tuesday's tilt versus Chicago, which did the first-place club a favor on Sunday by snapping its five-game skid with an 8-5 win over Washington. Captain Jonathan Toews registered his sixth career hat trick and his five-point performance versus the Capitals matched NHL Third Star of the Week Patrick Kane, who scored two goals and set up three others.

TV: 8:30 p.m. ET, MSG-Plus (New York), WGN (Chicago)

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (29-15-4): Cal Clutterbuck boosted his goal total to four in his last five games after recording his sixth career two-goal performance on Sunday and first since Jan. 4, 2018 at Philadelphia. "It's nice," the 31-year-old Clutterbuck said. "It was kind of a snakebit start to the year, even from halfway through last year I couldn't seem to find the back of the net, so it's nice to breakthrough here." Defenseman Devon Toews, who notched an assist on Clutterbuck's first goal Sunday, knocked home a rebound at 1:48 into overtime to lift New York to a 3-2 win over Chicago on Jan. 3.



ABOUT THE BLACKHAWKS (17-24-9): Toews was pleased with coach Jeremy Colliton's decision to be reunited with Kane on a line, and the proof was in the pudding on Sunday. "I know what he likes and how he likes to play and vice versa," the 30-year-old Toews said. "I think we can complement each other well. Obviously Kaner's been playing with a ton of confidence, so for me it was just go out there and make his life easier and get him the puck and get to open areas." Kane, who leads the team in goals (29), assists (41) and points (70), scored in the first contest versus New York to begin his current eight-game point streak (seven goals, 13 assists).

OVERTIME

1. New York has scored first in each of the last six games.

2. Chicago RW Alex DeBrincat has seven goals and an assist in his last seven contests.

3. Islanders LW Josh Bailey had an assist on Sunday to lift his point total to six (three goals, three assists) in his last seven games.

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Calgary Flames Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NHL Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

The Carolina Hurricanes and Calgary Flames stole the spotlight at last year's NHL draft, making a blockbuster trade in which five players changed uniforms. Former Carolina coach Bill Peters is now behind the bench with Calgary, adding another layer of intrigue when the Pacific Division-leading Flames host the Hurricanes on Tuesday night in the first meeting since the deal.

Calgary sent defenseman Dougie Hamilton, forward Micheal Ferland and prospect Adam Fox to Carolina in exchange for center Elias Lindholm and defenseman Noah Hanifin. "A little strange, probably," Hanifin said of facing his former teammates. "I've got some pretty close buddies there. That was my first experience in the league, those three years. I learned a lot as a player and a person. A lot of good memories there." The Hurricanes, winners of eight of 11 after rolling to a 7-4 victory at Edmonton, will host the Flames in a rematch on Feb. 3 following the All-Star break, but their focus is on winning in Calgary. "I think it'll be fun," Hamilton said. "I mean, their team is doing great obviously, so it's going to be a tough game. Hopefully, we can play a good game against them."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, FS Southeast (Carolina), Sportsnet West (Calgary)

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (23-20-5): Forward Teuvo Teravainen has not scored a goal in nine games but he had ample reason to smile after Carolina signed him to a five-year contract extension worth $27 million on Monday. "Teuvo has improved every year of his NHL career and has established himself as a cornerstone forward for the Hurricanes now and into the future," general manager Don Waddell said of the Finn, who is second on the team with 39 points. "He's still just 24 years old and we believe he will only continue to grow as a player." Recently acquired Nino Niederreiter scored twice in the victory at Edmonton.



ABOUT THE FLAMES (32-13-5): Lindholm and Hanifin, both former No. 5 overall draft picks of Carolina, each collected an assist as Calgary extended its point streak to eight games with a 5-2 win over Edmonton on Saturday. Lindholm has benefited from playing on the potent top line alongside Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan and is tied for third on the team in scored with 57 points on 21 goals and 36 assists, establishing career highs in all three categories. "Obviously, Lindy, he's been lighting it up for you guys," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour told Calgary reporters. "We knew we were giving up a great player."

OVERTIME

1. Monahan has four goals during a five-game point streak overall and five tallies in eight games versus Carolina.

2. Hurricanes F Sebastian Aho collected three assists Sunday to give him 15 points in 10 games this month.

3. Lindholm has a goal and eight assists during a seven-game point streak.

Detroit Red Wings vs. Edmonton Oilers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NHL Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 01/21/2019

Frustration has reared its ugly head for both the Edmonton Oilers and Detroit Red Wings, a pair of sputtering clubs that are looking for a positive prior to playing their last game before the All-Star break at Rogers Place on Tuesday. The Oilers answered winning five of eight by dropping back-to-back three-goal decisions while the Red Wings have lost the first two contests of their three-game trek through Western Canada.

"It is frustrating. We take two steps ahead and then we take two back. One ahead, and then one back. We go up and then we go down. We have to figure it out," Edmonton forward Leon Draisaitl said after he scored two goals and set up another in Sunday's 7-4 setback versus Carolina. Captain Connor McDavid notched a pair of assists against the Hurricanes and did the same in the first encounter with Detroit -- a 4-3 Oilers' win on Nov. 3. Red Wings veteran forward Frans Nielsen has shown signs of snapping out of offensive funk with a goal and two assists in two games, but the team's losing ways -- namely its current 4-12-3 stretch -- are starting to take a toll. "It's tough. We're all pros, we want to win," the 34-year-old Dane said. "It's no fun when you keep losing, but I think at least we are at the stage where we are playing consistently well. There's not bonus points for that unfortunately, but as a group we just have to put it behind us."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, Sportsnet 1, Sportsnet East, Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet Pacific (Edmonton)

ABOUT THE RED WINGS (18-25-7): Although the team is struggling, Thomas Vanek has been heating up with three goals and as many assists in his last four games. "I'm starting to feel better," the 35-year-old Austrian said. "... This game is all about confidence and once you play better as a line, I think with Fransy (Nielsen) and Mo (Anthony Mantha), we're really starting to develop something, holding onto pucks, getting chances, puck's starting to go in, so that's nice." Gustav Nyqvist, who had two of his club-best 31 assists in the previous encounter with Edmonton, had 11 points (two goals, nine assists) during an 11-game stretch before being held off the scoresheet versus Vancouver.



ABOUT THE OILERS (23-23-3): The well-traveled Alex Chiasson penned a feel-good story for the first three months of the season with a career-best goal total before seeing his offense dry up with just three points (one goal, two assists) in his last 10 games. The 28-year-old Montreal native, who scored in the first meeting with Detroit, has 23 points to reside just 12 shy of a career high set in 2013-14 with the Dallas Stars. Jujhar Khaira, who had a pair of assists versus the Red Wings, has two points (one goal, one assist) in his last three games after being held off the scoresheet in his previous nine outings.

OVERTIME

1. Edmonton C Kyle Brodziak scored two of his four goals this season in the first meeting with Detroit.

2. Red Wings C Luke Glendening is expected to play versus the Oilers despite sitting out Monday's practice after blocking a shot during the third period against Carolina.

3. Edmonton RW Zack Kassian has recorded six (three goals, three assists) of his nine points this season in January.

PREDICTION: Oilers 4, Red Wings 2

Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Notre Dame travels to Georgia Tech on Tuesday in a matchup of two teams who desperately need to turn around their early-season struggles in ACC play. The Fighting Irish have dropped four of their past five games following Saturday's 77-73 home defeat to North Carolina State, while Georgia Tech lost three of its past four after being routed Saturday at home by Louisville 79-51, a game in which the Yellow Jackets played without three of its seven leading scorers.

Top scorer Jose Alvarado missed the game after injuring his groin last week against Clemson, and forward Abdoulaye Gueye (undisclosed injury) along with guard Brandon Alston (personal reasons) also were absent. "What I told our guys is we can't have any hangover going into Tuesday's game," Georgia Tech coach Josh Pastner told reporters afterward. "It's a tough loss, but it only counts as one in the loss column." The Fighting Irish pulled within two points with 12.3 seconds left but could not overcome sporadic offense throughout, despite John Mooney finishing with 19 points and 16 rebounds. "To beat one of the better teams in this league, we're going to have to shoot better than 40 percent," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey told the media afterward.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, RSN LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT NOTRE DAME (11-7, 1-4 ACC): Mooney is putting together a fantastic season, leading the ACC in rebounding (10.7 per game) and double-doubles (10) while averaging 14 points per contest on 53.8 percent shooting from the field. Freshman Dane Goodwin matched his career high with 19 points Saturday, hitting 7-of-9 shots for 17 points in the second half. Notre Dame ranks fifth in the country in blocked shots per game (5.89), paced by league leader Juwan Durham's 3.2 per game (tied for third nationally).

ABOUT GEORGIA TECH (10-8, 2-3): Alvarado, who averages 13.7 points while leading the Yellow Jackets in assists and steals, likely will not play Tuesday while Gueye and Alston are day to day. Forward James Banks scored a career-high 24 points in the Louisville loss, adding 11 rebounds for his fifth double-double, and is the team's top scorer in ACC contests at 15.6 points per game on 57.4 percent shooting from the field. Georgia Tech averages 63.6 points per game allowed, but has surrendered 79 points twice in five league games.

TIP-INS

1. The Fighting Irish average 9.5 turnovers per game, ranking second in the ACC and third nationally.

2. Georgia Tech freshman G Michael Devoe ran the offense Saturday in place of Alvarado, finishing with eight points and two assists.

3. The past 10 matchups in the series have been decided by an average margin of 4.9 points.

Villanova Wildcats vs. Butler Bulldogs Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 22nd January 2019 by Gracenote
With less than two months remaining until Selection Sunday, No. 18 Villanova is starting to resemble the team that won two of the last three national championships. The Wildcats vie for their seventh straight victory when they visit Butler on Tuesday.

Since suffering back-to-back losses to Pennsylvania and Kansas, Villanova trounced Connecticut and then posted five straight wins in Big East play. The team was hitting on all cylinders against Xavier in Friday's 10-point triumph, shooting 50 percent overall and a crisp 44.1 percent from 3-point range. Phil Booth scored 22 points to lead Villanova, but the fifth-year senior told reporters, "The scoring part doesn't really matter. I think a lot of guys can score. I'm just embracing the journey on this team." That journey continues against a scrappy Butler team that is coming off a quality victory over St. John's.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Fox Sports 1 LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT VILLANOVA (14-4, 5-0 Big East): Booth and fellow senior Eric Paschall combine to average 35 points per game, while Collin Gillespie (11.4 points) has come on strong with 32 over his last two contests. Gillespie has made 10 3-pointers over that stretch, while Booth has sank 21 shots from beyond the arc over his last five games. Paschall has scored at least 17 points in six of his last seven contests and has made 25-of-27 free throws over his last five.

ABOUT BUTLER (12-7, 3-3): Kamar Baldwin is the top scorer on Butler, averaging 17.7 points, 3.9 assists and team highs of 5.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals. He has made only eight blocks in 19 games, but that actually ties him for the lead on the Bulldogs, who have registered only 40 as a team. Paul Jorgensen (12.3 points), Jordan Tucker (10.4) and Sean McDermott (10.4) are major threats from 3-point range, with all three shooting north of 40 percent from beyond the arc.

TIP-INS

1. Butler upset top-ranked Villanova last season, but the Wildcats won the rematch and then took the rubber game in the semifinals of the Big East tournament.

2. After scoring a total of 18 points in his previous eight games, Villanova F Dhamir Cosby-Roundtree recorded 11 on 5-of-5 shooting versus Xavier.

3. Baldwin shot 37.2 percent from 3-point range as a freshman, then dipped to 33.1 percent as a sophomore before sliding to 29.3 percent this season.

PREDICTION: Butler 74, Villanova 70

Texas Tech Red Raiders vs. Kansas State Wildcats Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Dean Wade has returned and Barry Brown Jr. is playing the best basketball of his career, but Kansas State coach Bruce Weber knows it is defense that has provided his Wildcats a four-game winning streak. Kansas State looks to lock up struggling No. 13 Texas Tech and avenge an earlier loss this season in Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday.

The Wildcats dropped their first two conference games, including 63-57 at Texas Tech on Jan. 5, but have since rattled off four straight victories, holding No. 25 Iowa State 24 points below its average, Oklahoma 13 under its average and, most recently, TCU 25 below its average in a 65-55 victory on Saturday. "We have older guys and they take a lot of pride in defense. They found out if we guarded people it gave us a chance to win in the (NCAA) Tournament," Weber told reporters. "We always say, 'What your foundation is early is going to be your foundation late,' and that's got to be it." The Horned Frogs shot 42.6 percent, including 6-of-24 from 3-point range, and committed 17 turnovers while the Wildcats got 18 points from Xavier Sneed and 16 from Wade - the Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year playing in just his third game since missing six straight with an injury. Texas Tech, which was off to just its second 15-1 start in school history, has dropped two straight - 68-64 at home to Iowa State on Wednesday and 73-62 at Baylor on Saturday - to fall back into a first-place tie in the Big 12 with Kansas, Kansas State and Iowa State.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN2 LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT TEXAS TECH (15-3, 4-2, Big 12): Sophomore guard Jarrett Culver, averaging 17.2 points, 10 rebounds and 3.2 assists in conference games, led the Red Raiders against the Bears with 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists and three steals but committed seven turnovers. "We are just going to continue to fight and scrap," Texas Tech coach Chris Beard told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. "These games are tough to win. Today, I'm just disappointed. I thought we beat ourselves in a lot of ways. ... You just can't hand the ball to the other team 17 times and expect to win on the road against a really good coach and a really good team." Brandone Francis scored 14 points off the bench, Davide Moretti scored in double figures for the sixth straight conference game with 13 points and Tariq Owens provided eight points, six rebounds and one block to keep his blocked shots streak alive at 18 games this season.

ABOUT KANSAS STATE (14-4, 4-2): Brown, who had 77 points, 10 assists and seven steals while shooting 29-of-53 from the floor in his previous three games, had only 10 points, five rebounds and three assists against TCU but is averaging 18.5 points in conference games. The 6-9 Wade, selected co-Big 12 Player of the Week for last week and who missed the first game between the rivals, has scored 36 points in his last two games on 12-of-23 shooting but has totaled only three boards over that span. The Wildcats rank second in the Big 12 and fourth in the country in scoring defense (59.5), fifth in adjusted defensive efficiency according to KenPom.com and have held opponents below their scoring average in 11 straight games.

TIP-INS

1. Kansas State leads the all-time series 23-18, but the Red Raiders have won three in a row. Texas Tech earned a 63-57 win over the Wildcats on Jan. 5 in Lubbock behind 19 points from Moretti and 14 from Matt Mooney.

2. Texas Tech's defense leads the nation by limiting opponents to 34.9 percent shooting while the team is second by holding opponents to 55.8 points per game and 26.2 percent on 3-pointers.

3. The Wildcats currently have the longest winning streak in the Big 12.

Clemson Tigers vs. Florida State Seminoles Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Florida State has nearly tumbled out of the national rankings amid a three-game losing streak, which they'll try to snap Tuesday against visiting Clemson in an ACC matchup. The 23rd-ranked Seminoles are one of five teams at the bottom of the league with a 1-4 mark after falling 87-82 at Boston College on Sunday.

They also had issues leaving Boston amid a winter storm and the challenging couple of days has them scrambling to fully prepare for the Tigers. "It's going to test us because guys are not in their regular schedules, waking up at odd times and their meals and their work prep, but a lot of guys now have gotten to the gym just to get their rhythm back," sophomore forward Mfiondu Kabengele told the Tallahassee Democrat. Clemson snapped a three-game slide of their own with a 72-60 win over Georgia Tech on Wednesday at home. Senior guard Marcquise Reed scored a career-high 30 points on 10-of-13 shooting while recording four steals as Clemson notched its first conference victory.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT CLEMSON (11-6, 1-3 ACC): The Tigers were playing with a slight sense of desperation in Wednesday's win as they knew another loss could bury them in the loaded ACC. "We were more aggressive, I think," point guard Shelton Mitchell told reporters after recording nine assists and zero turnovers. "We all knew how big this game was." Reed paces the team in scoring (19.7) and senior forward Elijah Thomas is second (13.1) while leading the way on the glass (7.7).

ABOUT FLORIDA STATE (13-5, 1-4): Kabengele leads a balanced attack with 12.6 points per game after posting a career-high 26 at Boston College. Senior guard Terance Mann is second on the scoring list with an 11.6 average and he leads the Seminoles with 6.3 rebounds per game. Junior guard Trent Forest is averaging 14 points, 8.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists over his last two contests.

TIP-INS

1. Seminoles senior F Phil Cofer, who averaged 19 points in two matchups with the Tigers last season, missed Sunday's game with a foot injury.

2. The teams are tied for 12th in the ACC in 3-point shooting (31.3 percent).

3. Florida State had won four straight meetings before dropping a 76-63 decision to Clemson last Feb. 28.

Buffalo Bulls vs. Northern Illinois Huskies Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
When CJ Massinburg starts to heat up, it usually spells bad news for the opponents of No. 14 Buffalo, which hits the road to face Northern Illinois on Tuesday in a Mid-American Conference game. The Bulls have won 11 straight games in which Massinburg has scored 20 or more points, something he will look to do for the first time in his career against the Huskies.

Massinburg went for 20 or more for the first time in the month of January, burying six 3-pointers and scoring 31 points Friday as the Bulls ran their home winning streak to 20 games by beating Eastern Michigan. The senior, who has averaged 13.8 points in posting a 3-1 record against Northern Illinois, had gone five games since his last 20-point effort and has only five such games this season after recording 13 a season ago. "There's a lot of stuff going on, but you've got to relax and realized that basketball is just a game," the Dallas native, who has scored 1,656 points in his career, told the media of the pressure to score. "It's something you should enjoy and not be stressed out about." After winning their first three league games, the Huskies, who handed Buffalo one of their three league losses last season, have dropped two straight contests to Central Michigan and Kent State.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, No TV LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT BUFFALO (17-1, 5-0 MAC): Davonta Jordan rarely makes a dent in the scoring column - he has reached double figures three times this season and has 13 points in the last five games - but the Cocoa, Fla., native impacts the game in other ways for the Bulls. In Buffalo's most recent win over Eastern Michigan, the junior registered a season-high eight assists while pulling down five rebounds and coming up with three steals. Jordan, who teams with Dontay Caruthers to spearhead the Buffalo defense, ranks eighth in the MAC in assists (3.8 per game) and sixth in steals (1.6).

ABOUT NORTHERN ILLINOIS (10-8, 3-2): Eugene German gives the Huskies a prolific scorer with which to match up against Massinburg. The junior, who leads the MAC in scoring at 20.7 points per game and fourth in 3-point shooting (43.6 percent), has 10 20-point games and two 30-point games this season for coach Mark Montgomery. The Gary, Ind., native went for 28 points and seven rebounds, including the final four points in overtime, to carry the Huskies past the Bulls last season and has averaged 18.3 points in three meetings with Buffalo.

TIP-INS

1. Northern Illinois' Dante Thorpe and Levi Bradley are 11th and 12th in the MAC in shooting percentage at 53.3 and 53.2 percent, respectively.

2. The 90-88 overtime win by Northern Illinois last season snapped a 13-game losing streak to Buffalo, which holds a 20-14 lead in the series.

3. Buffalo is 14-3 over the last two seasons when Massinburg hits for 20 or more points.

Mississippi State Bulldogs vs. Kentucky Wildcats Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Ninth-ranked Kentucky has rebounded from a loss in its SEC opener to win four straight contests and looks to continue the run when No. 22 Mississippi State pays a visit for another league showdown Tuesday night. The Wildcats rolled through Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Georgia before taking a big lead at 15th-ranked Auburn on Saturday and holding on for a confidence-building 82-80 victory.

"It feels good," Kentucky freshman guard Tyler Herro told reporters after win. "That was a great atmosphere out there. Just sticking together, which we did, that was good to see. I think we've come a long way from where we were at the beginning of the season." The Wildcats will need the same type of effort to extend their winning streak to 12 games against Mississippi State, which is coming off a 2-0 week that included an impressive 71-55 victory at Vanderbilt on Saturday. The Bulldogs lost their first two league games before knocking off Florida 71-68 at home last Tuesday and holding Vanderbilt to 36.7 percent from the field while senior guard Quinndary Weatherspoon poured in 17 points four days later. "We needed some momentum to carry us out the rest of the season, so this was a great start getting to 50-50, 2-2," Mississippi State freshman guard Robert Woodard told reporters after scoring a season-high nine points at Vanderbilt.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPN LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT MISSISSIPPI STATE (14-3, 2-2 SEC): Weatherspoon leads the team in scoring (16.6) on 48 percent shooting while junior point guard Lamar Peters (13.4 points) tops the Bulldogs in assists (5.8) and made 3-pointers (51). Senior forward Aric Holman is also a threat at 12.4 points per game on 49 percent shooting from the floor and boasts team highs of 8.1 rebounds along with 2.2 blocks. Sophomore guard Nick Weatherspoon, Quinndary's younger brother, is the fourth player averaging double figures in scoring (10.2) and has drained 19-of-41 from behind the arc (46.3 percent).

ABOUT KENTUCKY (14-3, 4-1): Freshman guard Keldon Johnson leads the team in scoring (14.9) and recovered from being shut out against Georgia on Jan. 15 by pouring in 20 points to match Herro against Auburn. "It felt good," Johnson told reporters after connecting on 7-of-11 from the field Saturday. "But I just give it off to my teammates. They just keep trusting me. If I go scoreless or if I have a breakout game, they still believe in me." Herro is second on the team in scoring (13.5) - just ahead of senior forward Reid Travis (13.0), who had 17 points and seven rebounds Saturday.

TIP-INS

1. Holman has 182 career blocks and needs two to pass Kalpatrick Wells for fourth on the school's all-time list.

2. Kentucky freshman G Ashton Hagans had six points, seven rebounds and six assists in the win over Auburn.

3. The Bulldogs are second in the league in 3-point shooting percentage (38.3) and made 3-pointers per game (9.2).

Wichita St. Shockers vs. South Florida Bulls Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
South Florida saw a seven-game home win streak snapped Saturday as No. 17 Houston was too much for the Bulls to handle in a 69-60 defeat - their third loss in a row. The Bulls will look to re-establish their home court advantage Tuesday when they host Wichita State who is looking for its first road win of the season (0-4).

USF sophomore David Collins did his best to lead a second-half comeback in Saturday's loss by scoring 21 of his season-high 23 points after halftime, but the Bulls couldn't overcome a dismal first half that saw them shoot 23.8 percent and trail 35-25 at the break. Collins tied his career high with 10 made free throws while the Bulls as a team finished 27-for-41 from the line, surpassing 40 attempts for the third time this season. The disparity in free throw attempts in Wichita State's 66-55 home loss to Cincinnati on Saturday led to head coach Gregg Marshall and freshman Erik Stevenson receiving a pair of crucial technical fouls with 5:31 to play that turned a five-point deficit into an 11-point Bearcats lead that the Shockers wouldn't overcome. "We tried to defend physical, just like (the Bearcats) do," Marshall told the media after his team attempted seven free throws compared to 35 for Cincinnati. "(The Bearcats) do a great job of being physical and I guess not fouling. Unfortunately, when we do the same, we foul. We have to learn how not to do that."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, CBS Sports Network LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT WICHITA STATE (8-9, 1-4 AAC): Senior Markis McDuffie did the heavy lifting offensively against Cincinnati as the Shockers' leading scorer (19.6 points per game) tallied a game-high 21 points on 7-for-14 shooting while the rest of his team totaled 34 points on 38 shots. The Shockers have shot less than 40 percent from the field in nine of their 17 games after only having two such games all of last season. Wichita State suffered through its worst offensive stretch of the season during Saturday's loss as the Shockers' turned the ball over on five straight possessions in the first half and were held without a shot attempt for nearly five minutes.

ABOUT USF (12-6, 2-4): The Bulls boast one of the nation's top defensive pairings as redshirt junior Laquincy Rideau sits second in the country in steals (3.3) while Collins is 13th (2.6). Collins leads USF in scoring (14.8 points per game) with much of his damage coming from the free-throw line where the guard ranks 29th in the country in attempts (128). No American Athletic Conference team has made or attempted more free throws this season than USF (329-for-527) while no team in the AAC has made or attempted fewer than Wichita State (207-for-295).

TIP-INS

1. The Shockers' first five AAC opponents are a combined 22-5 during conference play while their next six have started off 10-24.

2. Wichita State has led its conference in rebounding margin in each of Marshall's 11 seasons as the Shockers' coach but are currently seventh in the AAC (plus-2.2) - trailing only first-place USF (plus-7.4).

3. McDuffie is 24 points away from moving into the top 25 of Wichita State's career scoring leaders and is on pace to finish his senior season in 15th place.

Texas A&M Aggies vs. Florida Gators Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Florida finally finished strong Saturday, defeating Georgia on the road 62-52 to avoid matching the school's worst SEC start in 37 years. The Gators return home Tuesday to face a Texas A&M team in the midst of its own struggles with four conference setbacks in five games after losing to Missouri 66-43 their last time out.

"If you want to achieve something significant, you have to take it. It's not going to just happen," Gators head coach Mike White told reporters after their big win over Georgia. "You can't hope for an SEC win, especially on the road. You can't hope that you make a shot or a defensive stop. We're in charge of that. I thought our body language, our mental toughness. ... I saw a little bit of a difference." That difference resulted in a game-winning 19-4 run Saturday after the team found ways to lose late leads in the four prior games, when they hit just 19 percent (4-of-21) of their shots in the final four minutes of those contests, including just 1-of-11 from the 3-point line. The Aggies haven't come close in their last two outings, losing at home by 19 to Auburn and 23 to Missouri, and their 43 points against the Tigers were their lowest since a 66-41 loss to Vanderbilt in the first round of the 2017 SEC tournament. "I want to apologize to our fans, and the 12th Man," Aggies head coach Billy Kennedy said to reporters afterward. "I thought our effort was obviously poor. I don't want to take anything away from Missouri. I thought Missouri, defensively, was very hard to score against. They disrupted us, but obviously I've done a poor job getting our guys to play at the level I think we're capable of playing."

ABOUT TEXAS A&M (7-9, 1-4 SEC): Kennedy's apology came after the Aggies had nearly as many turnovers (11) as field goals (13) and shot a miserable 26 percent from the floor against Missouri, which entered the contest winless in SEC play. Due to lack of effort, Kennedy benched his top two scorers against Missouri -- TJ Starks and Savion Flagg -- and the two combined for just seven points (1-of-14 from the field), with Starks only playing 18 minutes after entering the game averaging nearly 30. Forward Josh Nebo came off the bench to lead the team with 12 points followed by Jay Jay Chandler with 11 as Texas A&M had two players score in double figures for the fifth time this season, while Flagg (seven boards) remained the team's top rebounder, pacing the Aggies for the seventh straight game.

ABOUT FLORIDA (10-7, 2-3): The Gators needed to make some changes and they began by shuffling their personnel against Georgia, inserting freshman forward Keyontae Johnson into a starting lineup that already featured guards Noah Locke and Andrew Nembhard, making it the first time since Jan. 2, 1999 that Florida started three freshmen in a game. Johnson, in his first career start, responded with eight points and seven rebounds in a personal-best 32 minutes, which proved to be critical after forward Keith Stone suffered a season-ending knee injury in the second half. Defense has been the team's bread and butter - Florida boasts the SEC's best scoring unit (61.2 ppg) - but the Gators had opened SEC play enduring not-so-fabulous finishes until they held Georgia without a field goal for over nine minutes at the end of the second half.

TIP-INS

1. The Gators own a 7-4 all-time advantage over the Aggies after victories in the last two meetings, including an 83-66 triumph a year ago.

2. With 13 points against Georgia, Gators G KeVaughn Allen has hit double digits in 10 of the last 11 games.

3. Nebo has registered four blocked shots for the Aggies in each of the last three games.

PREDICTION: Florida 67, Texas A&M 50

Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Virginia Cavaliers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Virginia returns home with a one in the loss column after suffering its first defeat at Duke on Saturday. The third-ranked Cavaliers will be looking to start another win streak on Monday as they host Wake Forest.

Virginia went toe-to-toe with Duke and its freshman sensations on Saturday but, in the end, the combo of Zion Williamson and RJ Barrett was too much for even the Cavaliers' vaunted pack-line defense. "We're a solid defensive team, but tonight, we were not solid enough," Virginia coach Tony Bennett told reporters after the 72-70 loss. Wake Forest was unable to build off its huge 71-67 win over No. 19 North Carolina State two games ago as eighth-ranked Virginia Tech comfortably handled the Demon Deacons 87-71 on Saturday. "We had guys shoot the ball. We just didn't make any," Deacons coach Danny Manning told the media after the loss as his team went 18-of-48 from the field.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Raycom Sports LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT WAKE FOREST (8-9, 1-4 ACC): Leading scorer Brandon Childress was a bright spot on Saturday, scoring 28 points - including 18 in the second half - on 7-of-12 shooting, pushing his team-leading season average to 16.8 points. No one else stepped up offensively, however, as the rest of the team combined to go 11-of-36 from the floor and 3-of-15 from long range. One thing the Demon Deacons did well against the Hokies was to get to the line, finishing with a 38-22 edge in free-throw attempts.

ABOUT VIRGINIA (16-1, 4-1): The Cavaliers, who are holding opponents to a 37.8-percent field-goal percentage on the season (fifth-best in the nation), allowed Duke to shoot 51 percent on Saturday. Virginia was outrebounded 32-30 by Duke and committed 20 personal fouls to the Blue Devils' 18. Offensively, De'Andre Hunter led the way with 18, while Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome each contributed 14.

TIP-INS

1. Wake Forest leads the all-time series 70-66, but Virginia has won six straight, including last year's 59-49 win in Winston-Salem, N.C.

2. The Cavaliers rank first nationally in the KenPom overall ratings.

3. The Demon Deacons score 26 percent of their points from the free-throw line, the highest percentage in the nation.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Pittsburgh Panthers Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
First-year Pittsburgh coach Jeff Capel has quickly shown the ability to not only attract high-level freshmen to his program but also coax the best out of them, just like close friend and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski. At least a handful of the best rookies in the ACC will take the floor Tuesday when the Panthers host the second-ranked Blue Devils in the first-ever meeting between Capel and his former mentor Krzyzewski.

Duke's vaunted freshmen class boasts the top two scorers in the conference and likely top-five 2019 NBA Draft picks in RJ Barrett (ACC-best 23.8 points) and Zion Williamson (21.5), and along with fellow rookie Cam Reddish, proved to be too much for previously undefeated Virginia on Saturday, accounting for 66 points in a 72-70 victory. "They're mentally tough. ... They came here mentally tough, especially those two kids, Zion and RJ. They play at a high, high level of scrutiny," Krzyzewski said. Capel has his own impressive collection of first-year players, as Xavier Johnson (17.1 points) ranks ninth in the ACC in scoring, Trey McGowens (13.9) has two 30-point games over the last four outings and Au'Diese Toney (9.8) leads the team with 6.2 rebounds. The trio wasn't able to get the job done Saturday, however, as the Panthers shot 33.8 percent and committed 17 turnovers in a 74-63 setback at Syracuse.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT DUKE (15-2, 4-1 ACC): Barrett (30 points on 11-of-19 from the field), Williamson (27 points, 10-of-16) and Reddish (nine points, 3-of-12) all played at least 37 minutes and combined to take 47 of Duke's 51 shots in the Blue Devils' first full game without point guard Tre Jones (shoulder) on Saturday. Barrett's performance was particularly notable, as he rebounded from an 8-for-30 shooting effort in Monday's overtime loss at Syracuse to post his fourth 30-point game, tying him for the second most by a freshman in school history. Williamson, who is the only player in the country scoring at least 20 points per game and shooting at least 60 percent from the floor, is averaging 25.6 points and 9.4 rebounds in ACC action.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH (12-6, 2-3): Johnson committed six turnovers - he has at least four in every conference game and nine of his last 12 - but was otherwise unfazed by the Orange's 2-3 zone, finishing 6-for-11 from the field and 3-of-5 beyond the arc en route to 17 points to extend the Pitt freshmen record for most consecutive double-figure games to 18. Jared Wilson-Frame (11.2 points) bounced back from a scoreless 10-minute showing Monday against Florida State with a team-high 19 points and eight boards over 26 minutes Saturday. McGowens shot 2-for-13 and scored seven points in 31 minutes while dealing with foul trouble and an injury near his right eye in the first half.

TIP-INS

1. Blue Devils junior F Javin DeLaurier is one field goal shy of tying the ACC record for consecutive shots made (20), set by Duke's Alaa Abdelnaby in 1988-89.

2. Pittsburgh tied a season low with eight free throws Saturday after a 38-for-46 performance from the foul line in its upset of the Seminoles.

3. Five of the seven freshmen that rank among the top 21 scorers in the conference play for either the Blue Devils or Panthers.

PREDICTION: Duke 84, Pittsburgh 77

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Northwestern Wildcats Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Indiana has fallen and the Hoosiers will be trying to get up Tuesday night when they visit Northwestern in search of a win to end their four-game losing streak. The Wildcats halted a two-game skid with their first Big Ten victory of the season Friday, 65-57 at Rutgers.

The teams will meet for the second time this season after Indiana escaped with a 68-66 victory at home Dec. 1, but much has changed for the Hoosiers since when they were in the midst of a 12-2 start. Indiana's latest loss came Saturday at Purdue, which controlled the game in the 70-55 decision. Problems at the free throw line (7-for-18) and from 3-point range (4-of-20) helped lead to Indiana's downfall. Northwestern enters the matchup with renewed confidence after winning at Rutgers and knowing it challenged Indiana last month.

TV: 9 p.m. ET, Big Ten Network LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT INDIANA (12-6, 3-4 Big Ten): Freshman Romeo Langford has proved to be a driving force all season, but he had what coach Archie Miller called his worst game of the season in the loss at Purdue, where he was shut out in the first half and finished with four points. Langford continues to lead the team in scoring at 17.9 points per game, just ahead of Juwan Morgan (16.4), who totaled 14 points at Purdue, but Indiana needs Langford to get back on track in a hurry. Morgan follows Langford at 16.4 points and he leads the Hoosiers with 7.7 rebounds per game, with Justin Smith third on the team in scoring (8.7) and rebounding (4.1).

ABOUT NORTHWESTERN (11-7, 2-5): Dererk Pardon and defense figure to be the keys to the Wildcats' chances to win their second straight game in the Big Ten. Pardon made 6 of 9 shots from the field en route to 17 points in the win at Rutgers, and is second behind Vic Law (16.6 points per game) on the team for the season in scoring (14.0) and leads Northwestern in rebounding with 7.7. The Wildcats were 11th nationally in 3-point defense (28.3 percent) entering Monday and have not allowed opponents to make more than five shots from beyond the arc in 12 of the last 13 games.

TIP-INS

1. Morgan and Langford combined for 37 points against Northwestern last month.

2. Indiana's win over Northwestern started a seven-game winning streak that catapulted the Hoosiers into the Top 25.

3. Pardon made 11-of-15 shots from the field and finished with game highs of 24 points and 10 rebounds against Indiana last month.

PREDICTION: Indiana 62, Northwestern 59

Mississippi Rebels vs. Alabama Crimson Tide Preview and Predictions 2019-01-22

NCAAB Predictions 21st January 2019 by Gracenote
Ole Miss continues to make a mockery of its last-place selection in the SEC preseason poll as it visits Alabama on Tuesday. The No. 20 Rebels bounced back from their only conference loss of the season with an 84-67 victory over Arkansas on Saturday with senior guard Terence Davis, who leads the club in rebounding and assists, continuing his strong season by averaging 19.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 3.8 assists over the last four games.

"We've had two top 15 wins, some great wins, but that was probably our best win of the year because of the response after you lose your first league game,'' Ole Miss coach Kermit Davis told reporters. Terence Davis' exceptional play has been essential because point guard Devontae Shuler's minutes are being reduced as he plays through a stress reaction in his foot. The Crimson Tide nearly pulled off a huge upset before falling at No. 1 Tennessee 71-68 on Saturday with sophomore guard John Petty matching a career high with 30 points, but sealing Alabama's fate on a traveling call in the closing seconds. "John was just incredible in the second half,'' Crimson Tide coach Avery Johnson told reporters. "He got to his spots and converted. We ran the first play of the second half for him and he converted to get him going. It was just a lot of fun to watch."

TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU LINE: Check Intertops for the latest line

ABOUT OLE MISS (14-3, 4-1 SEC): Davis (16.2 points per game along with team highs of 6.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists) and junior guard Breein Tyree (club-best 17.5 points) combine for 42.4 percent of the team's scoring. Shuler (9.9 points, 3.2 assists) has scored a total of nine points in his last two games after averaging 11.5 in his previous four contests. Junior center Dominik Olejniczak (6.8 points, 3.4 rebounds) scored a season-high 13 points and grabbed five boards versus Arkansas for his second double-digit point game in the last four.

ABOUT ALABAMA (11-6, 2-3): Senior forward Donta Hall (11.4 points, team-high 9.0 rebounds) has recorded a double-double in three straight games and six of his last seven, and leads the SEC with nine. Freshman guard Kira Lewis Jr. (14.2 points) leads a balanced scoring attack that boasts seven players averaging at least 6.8 points but has reached his average only once in SEC play. Petty (12.1 points, 4.6 rebounds) averages a club-most 14.4 points and is shooting 45.4 percent from 3-point range in conference games.

TIP-INS

1. The Rebels have won at least 14 of their first 17 games for the seventh time in the 109-year history of the program with the last occurrence in 2012-13, when they started 15-2 en route to winning the SEC tournament.

2. The Crimson Tide are second in the SEC in rebounding margin at plus-6.4, winning the battle on the boards in 16 of 17 games this season.

3. Ole Miss won 78-66 last season with Davis contributing 15 points and nine rebounds.

PREDICTION: Ole Miss 79, Alabama 76

Hot & Not Report

Week of January 21st

Well, last week's piece may have brought the kibosh to the advantage home teams have had in the Conference Championship of the NFL playoffs, and also killed the bad run that teams of 40-point performances were on.

Both road teams moved on to the Super Bowl in a wild, wacky, and controversial Conference Championship Sunday, and New England managed to wiggle away from the bad results teams had after scoring 40+. It gives us a very interesting Super Bowl in which the storyline narratives will be aplenty over the next 14 days (and quite possibly nauseating), so I've got no problem taking some time to step away from the sport and to take a look at a couple of “blue bloods” from the college basketball landscape.

Who's Hot

'Unders' in ACC play involving North Carolina – 4-1 to the 'under' in ACC action; 1-7 O/U run overall

North Carolina is a program that's always going to play fast and look to score in the 80's every time out there under Roy Williams, and that's exactly what we saw from them to start the year. The Tar Heels opened up the season with an 'under' result at Wofford, but followed that up with seven straight 'overs' cashing and went 8-for-9 in terms of 'overs' up until basically the Christmas break. It was there that an 'under' hit in their showdown with Kentucky, and ever since then, this team has been an 'under' machine.

That 'under' vs Kentucky sparked a seven-game span of 'under' tickets cashing for UNC, a run that included their first three conference games of the season. An 'over' finally got there in their road win against Miami over the weekend, but that still only got there by three points, and needed UNC to shoot 55% from the floor (45% from distance), and give up 49% shooting to Miami.

It appears as though this strong 'under' run for the Tar Heels has come about as a combination of teams understanding how to defend UNC better with more film on them, and numbers still being a touch too high. Granted, a lot of those early season 'overs' cashed when UNC totals closed in the high 150's, a range they've consistently fallen in lately as well, but familiarity breeds contempt. And these ACC coaches are out there looking to try and slow the pace down from the get-go against UNC.

Roy Williams understands that this is what the opposition is looking to do and has turned around and demanded better defense from his own guys, and for the most part they've responded. During that run of seven consecutive 'overs' early in the year, the Tar Heels were allowing an average of 75.28 points per game – largely against weaker competition than they'll see in conference play – and during their recent run of seven straight 'unders' that points per game allowed number dropped to 70.14.

There is still room for significant improvement as seemingly every upper echelon team they've faced (Michigan, Gonzaga, Kentucky, NC State) has scored 80 or more against them, and with a game tonight against a sweet stroking team like Virginia Tech, the Tar Heels defense, and them being a solid 'under' bet will be tested.

Who's Not

'Unders' in ACC play involving Duke – 3-1-1 O/U in ACC action

For all the national hype Duke got from the outset this year, their exorbitant amount of offensive talent was accounted for, and over-accounted for in the betting markets.

Duke entered the new calendar year, and conference play at the same time, with a 2-9-1 O/U record overall, as this team would either win in such convincing fashion that the offense would shut down in the final 10 minutes, or the totals were inflated so high that the numbers were hard to go 'over' regardless.

Bettors probably also underestimated just how good Tre Jones was defensively, as he's been what makes the Duke defense so effective at times. Throw in the idea that Duke is still a team loaded with freshman, and that shooting struggles with efficiency would pop up from time to time, Duke 'under' results for the first two months of the year tended to bring a windfall of gains to the books.

But we've seen those results flip since 2019 and ACC action arrived, as Duke's 3-1-1 O/U record has really come without much of a sweat. The lone 'under' landed there by just four points, and Wake Forest didn't exactly help by shooting just 33% on their own floor that day. But 'over' benefits – many of whom likely got off that train for Duke games after so many 'unders' the first two months by this team – have had a easy go of it so far in 2019 Duke games.

The Blue Devils were just the second team to score 65 or more against Virginia this year, and now thanks to numbers being consistently lower than they were to begin the year – Duke's totals closed at an average of 162 for the 2018 calendar year, and are averaging 149.5 in 2019 – backing 'unders' in Blue Devils games just haven't been the way to go. Everyone expected that Duke/Virginia game to be one that stayed low as that number opened at 140 before closing at 136, but it still failed to deliver on that result.

Looking ahead at Duke's schedule for the next few weeks, you'll see that we will likely get a few Duke blowouts in there – they play Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, Notre Dame, St Johns, and Boston College before a rematch with Virginia – and maybe that's what brings back those 'under' results for the Blue Devils.

Blowouts mean Coach K will sit on the ball in the 2nd half, and now that these 'overs' have been cashing, we may see Duke totals start to creep higher again either with the opening or via market moves. That could be a good sign for those bettors that will be lowing to go 'low' again in Duke games, but keep an eye on the Tre Jones injury status as well. Without his pressure on the ball, Duke's defense can be sieve-like at times, and them knowing how good they can be offensively, going with the mindset of just scoring at will to run away and hide.

Tuesday's SEC Tips
Brian Edwards

**Mississippi State at Kentucky**

-- As of early this morning, most betting shops had Kentucky (14-3 straight up, 8-9 against the spread) listed as a 6.5-point favorite with a total of 144.5. The Bulldogs were +230 on the money line (risk $100 to win $230).

-- John Calipari’s club is undefeated in 10 home games with a 4-6 spread record. Kentucky is in a three-way tie for third place in the SEC, joining South Carolina and Ole Miss with 4-1 records in league play. Tennessee is atop the national rankings and the SEC standings with its 5-0 conference ledger, while LSU is 4-0 in SEC action.

-- Since losing its SEC opener by a 77-75 count at Alabama, UK has responded with four consecutive victories and back-to-back spread covers. The Wildcats have won vs. Texas A&M (85-74), vs. Vanderbilt (56-47), at UGA (69-49) and at Auburn (82-80). They won Saturday at Auburn as 4.5-point road underdogs. Keldon Johnson and Tyler Herro led the way past the Tigers with 20 points apiece, as Herro drained 3-of-6 launches from downtown and all five of his free-throw attempts. Reid Travis added 17 points and seven rebounds, while P.J. Washington finished with 13 points and seven boards.

-- UK is No. 8 in the NCAA’s new NET Rankings and No. 13 at KenPom.com. The ‘Cats are 3-3 against K-Pom Top-100 opponents, losing to Duke and Seton Hall on neutral courts in non-conference action. Calipari’s squad has road wins at Louisville and at Auburn, in addition to a neutral-court triumph over UNC.

-- Johnson leads UK in scoring with a 15.0 points-per-game average. Herro (13.5 PPG), Travis (13.0 PPG) and Washington (11.8 PPG) are also averaging in double figures. Freshman guard Ashton Hagans dropped a career-high 23 points on Georgia last week and is pacing the Wildcats in assists (3.6 APG) and steals (2.2 SPG). Washington lead the ‘Cats in rebounding, pulling down 7.9 boards per game.

-- Mississippi State (14-3 SU, 8-9 ATS) is 2-1 both SU and ATS in three road assignments.

-- Ben Howland’s team is No. 21 at K-Pom, going 6-2 versus Top-100 foes. MSU, No. 36 in Net Rankings, has quality neutral-court victories over Clemson and Saint Mary’s, in addition to home scalps over Florida, Wofford and Cincinnati. The Bulldogs also have wins at Vanderbilt and at Dayton. They lost in overtime at South Carolina, at home vs. Ole Miss and on a neutral floor against Arizona State.

-- MSU is led by senior guard Quinndary Weatherspoon, who averages 16.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Weatherspoon is hitting 48.0 percent of his field-goal attempts and 83.1 percent of his free throws.

-- Lamar Peters (13.3 PPG, 5.8 APG) has buried 41.5 percent of his 3-balls and has a 99/51 assist-to-turnover ratio. Aric Holman (12.4 PPG, 8.1 RPG) leads the Bulldogs in rebounding and blocked shots (38), while Nick Weatherspoon, Quinndary’s younger brother, is averaging 10.3 points and 1.1 steals per game.

-- Since losing its first two SEC games, Mississippi State has won back-to-back games vs. Florida (71-68) and at Vanderbilt. Q-Weatherspoon was the catalyst with 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists without a turnover. Tyson Carter and Aric Holman added 10 points apiece and Holman had nine rebounds. The Bulldogs thumped the Commodores 71-55 as three-point road favorites.

-- This is MSU’s first game as an underdog this season.

-- The ‘under’ is 9-8 overall for the ‘Cats, 6-4 in their home contests.

-- The ‘over’ is 4-1 in MSU’s past five games to improve to 9-8 overall. The ‘under’ is 2-1 in the Bulldogs three road outing.

-- Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

**Ole Miss at Alabama**

-- Alabama (11-6 SU, 7-9 ATS) had a golden opportunity to bolster its resume enormously Saturday when it had Tennessee, the once-beaten team tabbed as the nation’s best by most national polls yesterday, on the ropes and in big-time trouble Saturday in Knoxville at Thompson-Boling Arena. However, an unfathomably atrocious call by the refs at crunch time, in addition to deplorable FT shooting by Avery Johnson’s team robbed it of being able to pull a tremendous upset. ‘Bama led 63-60 with 5:20 left despite missing nine of its first 10 FTAs in the second half. The Tide finished 8-of-18 from the charity stripe, including 4-of-13 in the final 20 minutes of action. Nevertheless, when UT’s Grant Williams was called for a charge adeptly taken by Donta Hall with the Volunteers ahead 69-68 with 11.9 ticks remaining, Johnson’s bunch had one final shot. John Petty, who scored a game-high 30 points on 6-of-10 shooting from downtown, including five straight makes at one point, took a pass on the wing with about five ticks remaining. He took two dribbles to his left and was inexplicably whistled for a travelling call with 3.2 seconds remaining. I immediately went back and hit rewind and watched Petty’s catch and move to his left off the bounce. There was ZERO indication – not even any sort of feet shuffling or a switch of the pivot foot or ANYTHING out of the ordinary to suggest Petty walked – yet the game-deciding call was made anyway.

-- With 2.5 seconds remaining, UT’s Lamonte’ Turned added two FTs and the Tide’s Kira Lewis missed a 55-foot heave at the buzzer to allow the Vols to win 71-68 as 13-point favorites. Rick Barnes’s club led 44-32 at intermission, only to see the Tide go on a 15-0 run sparked by Petty’s hot hand from long distance. Hall would add 16 points and 12 rebounds, while the freshman Lewis had 12 points on 3-of-6 marksmanship from 3-point range. The Tide outrebounded UT 36-33 but couldn’t overcome its abysmal FT shooting. Dazon Ingram had four rebounds and five assists compared to just one turnover, but he made only 1-of-4 FTs and scored just three points.

-- Alabama fell to 2-3 in SEC play where it sits next to Florida in an eighth-place tie. It wasn’t all bad news for the Tide last week, however, as it did go into Missouri on Wednesday and capture a 70-60 victory as a 1.5-point road favorite. In only 18 minutes of playing time from off the bench, Avery Johnson Jr. was the catalyst with a team-high 14 points. Hall added 12 points, 11 rebounds and a pair of blocked shots in a solid overall defensive effort from ‘Bama, which held to 42.1 percent shooting from the field. The Tide had a 33-28 rebounding advantage.

-- Johnson’s team is No. 56 at K-Pom and No. 50 in the NET Rankings. Alabama has a 7-4 record against K-Pom’s Top 100, including scalps of UK, Missouri, Penn State, Liberty, Arizona, Murray State and Ball State. The Tide has lost to Northeastern on a neutral floor, at home to Georgia State (after leading by 21 at halftime) and Texas A&M (on a buzzer-beating trey off the backboard), in addition to road defeats at UT, at LSU and at UCF. Although the win over UT would’ve bolstered its resume, there’s still plenty of time and quality opponents left on ‘Bama’s slate for it to play its way into the Tournament field.

-- Alabama has won six of eight home games, but it has limped to a 2-5 spread record in Tuscaloosa.

-- As of early this morning, most books had Alabama listed as a one-point home favorite over the Rebels, who are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS on the road this year. The total was 152.

-- Ole Miss (14-3 SU, 15-2 ATS) is one of the nation’s biggest surprises under new head coach Kermit Davis, who has his team ranked No. 30 at K-Pom and No. 24 in the NCAA’s new NET rankings. The Rebels are a projected No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament, according to Joe Lunardi’s latest ‘Bracketology’ report at ESPN.com (more on all SEC teams from Lunardi below in Bonus Nuggets….). The Rebels are 5-3 against K-Pom’s Top 100 and that doesn’t even include an 81-71 win at Vanderbilt. They have quality home wins over Auburn, Arkansas and San Diego, in addition to a neutral-court triumph over Baylor and a road win at MSU.

-- Here’s the Kermit Davis Factor: Ole Miss is the best ATS team in the nation at 15-2, while his old team, Middle Tennessee, is 4-13 ATS to rank No. 347 out of 353 teams that play lined games. (And that’s with the Blue Raiders covering in back-to-back games and three of their past four!).

-- Ole Miss failed to win outright in last week’s 83-69 loss to red-hot LSU as a 3.5-point home ‘chalk.’ However, Davis’s bunch responded by destroying Arkansas 84-67 Saturday as a six-point home favorite. The Rebels roared out to a 46-35 halftime advantage, only to see the Razorbacks cut the deficit to six less than four minutes into the second half. The Hogs would get no closer, though, as Ole Miss pushed the lead back to double digits and led by as many as 18 in coasting to the easy spread cover. Breein Tyree contributed a game-high 22 points along with four rebounds, three steals, two assists and one blocked shot. Terence Davis finished with 18 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and five steals, while Bruce Stevens had 14 points and seven boards.

-- Tyree, a junior guard, is averaging a team-best 17.5 PPG while shooting 49.7 from the field, 38.2 percent from beyond the arc and 83.1 percent from the FT line. Davis is averaging 16.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.9 blocked shots per game. The senior slasher has drained 49.7 percent of his FGAs and 42.2 percent of his treys.

-- If the line holds and leaves the Rebels as underdogs between now and tip, we’ll note that they’ve produced a 5-1 spread record with three outright wins in six such spots as ‘dogs.

-- Ole Miss is ranked No. 18 in the country in FG percentage (49.2%) and 29th in FT shooting accuracy (75.5%). The Rebels are averaging 79.4 PPG to rank 53rd nationally and they’re burying 37.1 percent of their launches from long distance (No. 62 nationally).

-- The ‘over’ is 12-4 overall for the Crimson Tide, but the ‘under’ has been a winner in each of its past two games. The ‘over’ has cashed at a 6-1 clip for ‘Bama in its home outings at Coleman Coliseum.

-- The ‘under’ is on a 6-1 run for the Rebels to improve to 10-7 overall. However, their road assignments have resulted on the ‘over’ going 3-1.

-- This rivalry has seen the ‘over’ go 11-5-1 in the past 17 head-to-head meetings. Ole Miss is 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 encounters.

-- Ole Miss has won outright in six of the past nine meetings, winning 78-66 as a 2.5-point home favorite on Jan. 23 of last season. Davis had 15 points and nine rebounds for the Rebels, while Hall had 14 points and seven boards for the Tide. Ingram finished with 10 points, eight boards and five assists in the losing effort.

-- ESPNU will have the telecast at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- In Joe Lunardi’s latest NCAA Tournament projections released Tuesday morning, the SEC has seven teams in the Tournament field. UT is the No. 1 seed in the Midwest Region which would face the 8/9 winner of Nebraska-FSU if it advances. Kentucky is the East Region’s No. 2 seed vs. Bucknell with a potential second-round date vs. N.C. State in Jacksonville. LSU and Auburn are both five seeds who would face Hofstra and Saint Louis, respectively. Ole Miss and Mississippi State are No. 7 seeds with potential dates against Syracuse and St. John’s in the opening round. The Gators are slated to face Arizona State in the First Four in Dayton, with either 12-seed getting Purdue in the Round of 32. UF is 2-0 against Purdue in the Tournament with Round of 32 wins in the 1987 and 2007 NCAA Tournaments at the Carrier Dome in Syracuse and in New Orleans, respectively.

-- Florida junior forward Keith Stone tore his ACL in Saturday’s win at Georgia and will miss the rest of the season. As of early this morning, The Gators were 11 or 11.5-point home favorites for tonight’s SEC showdown vs. Texas A&M. Stone (6.1 PPG, 3.9 RPG) was struggling this year, but he did score eight points in nine minutes of action in the first half Saturday at UGA before going down with the injury.

As of early this morning, the Gamecocks were eight-point home underdogs and the total was 155. Frank Martin’s team had its five-game winning streak snapped in Saturday’s 89-67 loss at LSU as a nine-point road underdog. The ‘over’ is 11-4 for the Gamecocks, 6-2 in their home outings. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Eastern on the SEC Network .

-- Rutgers won outright as an 8.5-point home underdog and hooked up its money-line supporters with a +350 payout in last night’s 76-69 win over Nebraska. The Scarlet Knights outscored the Cornhuskers 43-31 in the second half. Gamblers who backed Nebraska -4.5 for first-half bets were extremely fortunate winners as James Palmer Jr. hit a pull-up jumper from about 35 feet out at the buzzer to send his team into intermission with a 38-33 advantage.

-- After falling behind early at home vs. Virginia Tech last night, North Carolina roared back late in the first half and rolled to a 103-82 victory as a four-point home ‘chalk.’ The 185 combined points catapulted ‘over’ the 152.5-point total. UNC freshman Colby White dropped 27 points, seven rebounds, six assists, four steals and one blocked shot on the Hokies, draining 5-of-11 launches from 3-point territory. Nassir Little contributed 23 points, six boards and three assists.

-- Saint Mary’s has covered the number in four straight games to improve to 14-6 ATS overall and 10-2 in its home games. The Gaels play at BYU on Thursday night.

-- Florida State is mired in a 3-10-1 ATS slump in its past 14 games. The Seminoles have lost three games in a row to fall to an abysmal 1-4 in ACC action. They’ll try to bounce back tonight as six-point home favorites vs. Clemson. The total is 140 points. Leonard Hamilton’s club is 8-1 SU but just 3-6 ATS at home, while the Tigers are 1-2 both SU and ATS in three road assignments. Clemson snapped a three-game losing streak both SU and ATS with last Wednesday’s 72-60 win over Georgia Tech as a nine-point home favorite. This is a 7:00 p.m. Eastern tip on ESPNU.

The Duke Blue Devils will try and avoid having a letdown on Tuesday night as they visit the Pittsburgh Panthers in a game that can be seen on ESPN. The Blue Devils are coming off a big win on Saturday, as they defeated Virginia.

Duke is in a six-way tie for the top spot in the ACC with a 4-1 record, while the Panthers are 2-3 in the conference. Pittsburgh has been very good at home this season going 10-2 and they already have a win against a Top 20 team this season. Let’s look at Duke vs. Pittsburgh and college basketball picks.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Pittsburgh Panthers
Date and Time: Tuesday, January 22, 2019, 9:00 p.m. ET
Location: Petersen Events Center, Pittsburgh, PA
College Basketball Odds: Duke -13.5, O/U 156
Duke vs. Pittsburgh TV Coverage: ESPN

Duke is coming off their biggest win of the season, as they defeated Virginia 72-70 on Saturday. It will be interesting to see how the Blue Devils respond after such an emotional win. Duke has only played two true road games this season and they are 1-1 ATS. They covered at Wake Forest but didn’t cover at Florida State. The Blue Devils are averaging 89.2 points per game which is 3rd best in the country. They are giving up about 67 per contest.

The Panthers have been better than expected this season, as they come into this game at 12-6 overall. They have been a really good team to bet on this season, as they are 13-4-1 ATS. They have been cashing at home, covering 9 of their 12 home games with five going over and seven going under. They are averaging 76 points per game and giving up about 67 per contest.

Key Matchups

If the Panthers are to keep this game close they have to keep RJ Barrett and Zion Williamson under control. The Blue Devils are without Tre Jones who is their key facilitator, but Duke is good enough to win without him. The key for Pittsburgh is to make sure that both Barrett and Williamson don’t beat them. They may just have to let Barrett shoot and try and double Williamson. Barrett scores a lot of points, but he is just 31% from 3-point range. Pitt may just have to live with Barrett taking outside shots.

It should be noted that in two of the three games in which Barrett had his most shot attempts, Duke lost. What Pittsburgh can’t do is let Williamson dominate the game. He is shooting 66% from the field. The Panthers may simply have to play a zone defense to try and keep Williamson under control.

Key Stats

The Blue Devils are 1-3-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings in this series. The Blue Devils are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 vs. the ACC. The Panthers are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 vs. the ACC.

The Over is 4-1-1 in the Blue Devils last 6 vs. the ACC. The Over is 21-10-1 in the Blue Devils last 32 road games.

The Under is 24-8 in the Panthers last 32 home games. The Under is 41-18 in the Panthers last 59 vs. the ACC. The Under is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings in this series.

NCAA Basketball Preview
Mississippi State Bulldogs at Kentucky Wildcats

The Kentucky Wildcats have some competition in the SEC this season, so a conference championship won’t be a walk in the park like in past years. They have started off well in conference but have a tough matchup this week against the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Both teams are ranked in the top-25, but the Wildcats are higher in the polls and have the home court advantage, which should make them the comfortable favorite. Mississippi State has not lost any game by more than five points this season and will aim to at least keep this one close, which could benefit it on the spread in college basketball gambling.

This NCAA basketball game between the Mississippi State Bulldogs and Kentucky Wildcats will be held at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday, January 22th, 2019. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

We'll have NCAA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for every game of the 2019 NCAA basketball season.

Odds Analysis

Mississippi State has a record of 14-3 on the season. The Bulldogs have split their conference games, losing to South Carolina and Ole Miss before bouncing back with wins over Florida and Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs are in the top-25 in the nation but can’t afford a loss in this one if they want to stay in the mix in the SEC.

Kentucky has a mark of 14-3 on the year, as well, but with a superior conference record at 4-1. The Wildcats lost a close game to Alabama early in SEC play but enter this one on a four-game winning streak. Kentucky is always tough at home and has a good chance to keep pace with the teams above it in the conference standings.

Player To Watch

Quinndary Weatherspoon -- There aren’t a bunch of senior college basketball players anymore because many stars move on to the NBA as underclassmen. However, Weatherspoon has remained at Mississippi State for every season of his eligibility and is hoping to kickstart an upset in this one.

He is having a solid season, leading the team in scoring at 16.6 points per game while adding 5.8 rebounds. Weatherspoon has averaged in double figures in all four of his college seasons and has been in plenty of big games. He will look to be a calming influence on the court during this big-time matchup in a hostile environment.

Scheduling Situation

Kentucky’s schedule is really ramping up, and the way it handles this stretch could tell a lot about this team. The Wildcats are in the midst of facing off against three consecutive ranked teams. They knocked off Auburn by a bucket last time out and will follow this one up with a matchup against the Kansas Jayhawks.

Kentucky also has two games down the road against No. 1 Tennessee, so we will know soon whether the Wildcats have what it takes to capture the SEC.

Free NCAA Basketball ATS Picks

This is not an easy game for the Wildcats, who are facing a foe which has experience and talent. Kentucky is at home and has the better players, so it should win the game, but look to see where the spread comes in for this one. The Wildcats are a good team but it remains to be seen if they can truly be great.

Mississippi State should be able to show some of Kentucky’s vulnerability at times and do enough to cover the spread in NCAA basketball betting lines. The Wildcats and Bulldogs should play in an entertaining game and the “over” is a legitimate choice on the scoring total.

NCAA Basketball Pick: Kentucky Wildcats 79, Mississippi State Bulldogs 75

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Blazers at Thunder – 8:05 PM EST

The Northwest division has proven to be the toughest from top to bottom in the league this season. The two teams sitting tied for second place behind Denver meet tonight in Oklahoma City as both play without rest. The Thunder (28-18 SU, 25-21 ATS) return home after pounding the hapless Knicks on Monday afternoon at Madison Square Garden, 127-109 as nine-point favorites. OKC shot over 60% from the floor in the first half, while Paul George paced the Thunder with 31 points to continue a career season in which he is averaging 26.8 points per game.

The Blazers (29-19 SU, 26-22 ATS) face another tough road task inside the Northwest tonight after rallying past the Jazz on Monday, 109-104. Portland erased a seven-point halftime deficit by outscoring Utah, 39-28 in the third quarter, while beating the Jazz for the first time in three matchups this season. Damian Lillard burned the Jazz for 26 points, while Portland limited Utah to 40% shooting from the floor to pick up their third consecutive victory.

Both teams own winning records playing the second of a back-to-back this season as the Blazers are 4-3 SU/ATS, while the Thunder have compiled a 4-2 SU and 3-3 ATS mark in this situation. Portland swept the four-game season series from Oklahoma City in 2017-18, but the Thunder captured the first meeting this season at the Moda Center, 111-109 as a one-point underdog earlier this month. George and Russell Westbrook combined to score 68 points to end an eight-game skid in Portland dating back to October 2014.

Oklahoma City begins a three-game homestand, which includes visits from New Orleans on Thursday and Milwaukee on Sunday. The Thunder are riding a 6-1 OVER run the last seven games overall, while hitting the OVER in six of the past seven home contests. Portland has cashed in nine of the previous 12 games, which includes a 4-1 ATS record in the last five road affairs.

Crown Concerns

The Kings (24-23 SU, 27-20 ATS) continue a six-game homestand tonight after getting routed by the Nets on Monday, 123-94. Sacramento was held to nine points in the fourth quarter, while hitting the UNDER for the eighth consecutive game. The Kings have scored less than 100 points twice on this road trip, as Sacramento has lost six of the past seven games away from Golden 1 Center dating back to mid-December.

Sacramento heads north of the border to Toronto trying to improve on a 3-6 SU and 2-7 ATS record with no rest. The Raptors (35-13 SU, 21-27 ATS) moved to 20-4 at Scotiabank Arena following Saturday’s 119-90 blowout of the Grizzlies as 10 ½-point favorites. Toronto ended a three-game ATS slide by putting together a monstrous third quarter effort as the Raptors outscored the Grizzlies, 45-14 to take a 38-point lead. Danny Green drilled eight three-pointers for Toronto, who played the second straight game without leading scorer Kawhi Leonard, who is expected to return to the lineup tonight.

The Kings beat the Raptors four consecutive times from November 2015 through November 2016, but Toronto has won each of the past three matchups. When these teams hooked up in Sacramento back in November, the Raptors held off the Kings, 114-105 to barely cash as 8 ½-point favorites. The Raptors outrebounded the Kings, 53-31 in the win, while Leonard and Serge Ibaka each posted double-doubles in the victory.

Texas Two-Step?

The Clippers (25-21 SU, 25-21 ATS) suffered through a miserable homestand by going 0-4, which included back-to-back blowout losses to the Jazz and Warriors. Los Angeles snapped a five-game skid in Sunday’s 103-95 triumph at San Antonio as 9 ½-point underdogs, while limiting a team to less than 100 points in a road win for the first time since early November at Orlando. The Clippers beat the Spurs for the first time in three meetings, as L.A. hit the UNDER for the eighth time in the past 10 games.

Los Angeles remains in the Lone Star State tonight for a meeting in Dallas with the struggling Mavericks (20-26 SU, 27-19 ATS). Dallas dropped to a miserable 4-20 on the highway following a pair of losses at Indiana and Milwaukee, but the Mavs managed a cover as 11-point underdogs in Monday’s 116-106 setback to the Bucks. Playing without rest has not been a situation to support Rick Carlisle’s squad, as the Mavericks have compiled an 0-7 SU and 3-4 ATS mark on the second of a back-to-back this season.

The Mavs are significantly better at home than on road, as Dallas owns a solid 16-6 mark at American Airlines Center. However, Dallas has lost three of the past four at home, including recent close defeats to San Antonio and Golden State. The home team has captured the first two meetings this season, while both contests finished OVER the total. The Clippers are seeking their first victory in Dallas since November 2016 as the home squad has won each of the past seven meetings.

Let’s Do It Again

The Timberwolves and Suns are hooking up for the second time in three days as the teams shift out to Phoenix tonight. In Sunday’s contest at the Target Center, Minnesota (22-24 SU, 23-23 ATS) rallied for a 116-114 triumph, but the Wolves failed to cash as 12-point favorites. Derrick Rose came off the bench to pace the Wolves with 31 points, while Karl-Anthony Towns scored 30 points and pulled down 12 rebounds as Minnesota was aided by hitting 32 free throws.

Phoenix (11-37 SU, 22-26 ATS) is back at home after going winless on its four-game road swing, as the Suns are 8-2 ATS in the past 10 away contests. The Suns had dropped six consecutive home games from December 28 through January 6, but Phoenix is fresh off back-to-back home underdog wins over Sacramento and Denver.

These teams are meeting for the third time this season as the Suns took care of the Wolves in the first matchup in the Valley in mid-December, 107-99 as 7 ½-point underdogs. This is the 13th time this season that two teams are playing a home-and-home set, as our industry friends at VSIN note that clubs losing the first matchup are 10-2 SU and 9-3 ATS in the second affair.

Bet against this period in Predators vs Golden Knights game, and this week's NHL predictions and picks
Monty Andrews

Viktor Arvidsson and the Nashville Predators will be taking on the Las Vegas Golden Knights in NHL action on Wednesday night.

Two of the top defensive teams in the league face off on Wednesday as the Las Vegas Golden Knights take on the Nashville Predators, headlining an action-packed week of puck action heading into the All-Star Break. Here are the top games, betting trends and tips to monitor as the first half of the season winds down.

Fillin' Them Nets

The New Year has been rather kind to the Calgary Flames and Carolina Hurricanes – and not so much to their opponents. The two highest-scoring teams of the new calendar face off Tuesday night at Scotiabank Saddledome, with the Flames entering the week having scored 46 goals in 10 January games and the Hurricanes right behind them with 39 tallies. It's no surprise, then that Calgary is 10-1 O/U in its last 11 games overall while Carolina is 5-1 to the Over in its past six road games. But bettors beware: The Under has cashed in seven of their past 10 meetings.

First is Sometimes the Worst

Bettors looking at period-by-period totals betting for Wednesday's encounter between the Nashville Predators and the Vegas Golden Knights will enjoy this. The teams have met four times in their history, and have produced just two total first-period goals. It's easily the lowest-scoring period in their head-to-head encounters, with the teams having combined for six second-period markers and seven third-period tallies. And that trend might very continue Wednesday; while Vegas ranks 10th in first-period goals (45), Nashville is 24th (39). Vegas has also allowed the seventh-fewest goals in the first (39).

Goalie Profile: Robin Lehner, New York Islanders

Surprise! The Islanders sit atop the Metropolitan Division standings thanks in large part to a five-game winning streak fueled by some sensational goaltending. Lehner has been one of the hottest goalies in the NHL over the previous month, having posted an 11-1-0 while racking up three shutouts and not allowing more than three goals at any point over that stretch. And as you might expect, the Islanders have been a premier Under play in Lehner's appearances, having gone an incredible 3-13 O/U in his previous 16 appearances dating back to Nov. 21.

Injury Update: G Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins

The Bruins go into the final week before the break on a somber note after losing Rask to a concussion over the weekend. The veteran netminder was run into by Filip Chytil of the New York Rangers just before Chytil scored to tie Saturday's game 1-1. Fortunately for the Bruins, they don't play again until Tuesday, Jan. 29, when they tangle with the Winnipeg Jets – but there's no guarantee Rask will have recovered in time. Rask is 14-8-3 with a 2.43 goals-against average and a .919 save percentage for the Bruins, who enter the break at +2,000 to win the Stanley Cup – the 10th-best odds in the NHL.

Hat Trick Trends:

Last week was a terrific time to lean on road 'dogs, as they converted at an unbelievable 47.2-percent clip (17-17-2) in what was easily the most unexpected league trend of the previous seven days. Underdogs on the whole were an impressive 26-20-3 for the week, improving to 42.6 percent for the season.

Ian Walsh might look nothing like Homer Simpson, but in betting circles, there has been no more beneficial homer than he. The home team has gone 26-18 ATS in the 44 games Walsh has officiated so far this season, earning a league-best 19.63 units over that span. T.J. Luxmore is close behind, with home teams going 29-18 ATS for 18.39 units.

Former Adams Division rivals Montreal and Buffalo are engaged in a new battle this season – specifically, which team is the league's best ATS play. The Canadiens enter the truncated week with an NHL-best 32 covers in 50 games, but the Sabres are right on their heels with 31 covers through their first 50 contests.

1* Free Pick on Mississippi State +
One of the biggest challenges facing Kentucky is they got a target on their back, which means they get the best every team has to offer. I think it takes a toll on these players and this just feels like one of those spots where they struggle to play their best. The Wildcats are coming off a 82-80 win at Auburn and have a huge home game looming against Big 12 powerhouse Kansas on Saturday.
I also think people are sleeping on this Mississippi State team. The Bulldogs are 14-3 with all 3 loss coming by 5-points or less. The just went on the road and steamrolled Vanderbilt 71-55 as a mere 3-point favorite. Mississippi State is also a tough matchup.
They got the guys to keep Kentucky from dominating on the glass and the Bulldogs are the much better 3-point shooting team. Mississippi State is one of the best 3-point shooting teams in the SEC and the Wildcats are one of the worst.
Bulldogs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games, 6-2 ATS last 8 vs a team with a winning record and 5-1 ATS last 6 on the road against a team with a winning home record. Take Mississippi State!

Play on: Kent State +2½ -109 at GTBets

I really like KSU this season and they've won six of their last eight. The Golden Flashes are led by Jaylin Walker who can score from all over the court. Jalen Avery and Antonio Williams are good complementary pieces. This team is 4-2-1 against the spread this season as an underdog. They are starting to play a little defense and will need it against Toledo. The Rockets have won three straight after a two game losing streak. Toledo is not as strong on the road losing at Buffalo and Wright State. They do have wins at Western Michigan, Marshall and Oakland with the last two by one point. I'm playing a hunch here in a higher scoring game that the home team can get the win in this one.

Play on: Raptors -10½ -110 at Mirage

Toronto is in good form right now and the Kings have been really bad in the second half of back-to-backs, and this one looks like a blowout on Tuesday. Sacramento has dropped seven straight against the spread on the second half of a back-to-back. The main problem is this team can’t score when fatigued. They average less than 105 PPG on the second end of a back-to-back, and that is down almost 10 points from their season scoring average. Toronto has won seven of their last eight games overall and they are playing well now. Their offense has been very good. If the Kings have trouble scoring again this one could get ugly early for them. Also, the Raps have covered in all of the last three meetings.

ASA PLAY ON Free Pick: San Jose at Washington, Tuesday @ 7:05 PM ET

Both teams enter this match-up on losing streaks but, in our mind, there is only one way to play this. First off the line value is with the Sharks as they are the money line underdog in this match-up. Secondly, while the Sharks have lost 3 straight games, the Capitals have lost 5 straight games and 8 of their last 11 games! As for San Jose, prior to their 3-game losing streak they won 16 of their previous 21 games! It is plain to see who the hotter team has been in recent weeks and, for the Sharks, this is also their final chance at a W before the All Star break while Washington does have a game tomorrow at Toronto. Of course the Caps still are motivated to win this game but, undoubtedly, San Jose is even hungrier. Also, there is no disputing that the Sharks have been the better team in recent weeks. San Jose also has revenge from being swept by the Capitals last season. Prior to that, San Jose was on a 26-5 run in this series and that long-term series dominance is expected to resume in this one. Free Pick: San Jose Sharks in early evening action Tuesday.

Play on: Senators -110 at GTBets

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #22 Tuesday Free Pick Ottawa Senators Money Line (-) vs Arizona Coyotes @ 7:35 ET - I know the Coyotes have been playing better and also have a surprisingly solid road record this season. However, Arizona has one more game tomorrow (at Montreal) before their time off for the All Star break begins. Conversely, this is the Senators final game before their break and they're definitely going to "leave it all on the ice" here. Ottawa has been quite solid at home this season but is coming off a road loss at St Louis Saturday which was decided on a controversial goal. The Senators are well-rested here with 2 full days off since the loss to the Blues. Also, prior to that defeat Ottawa had won 4 of their 5 prior games. Also, the Sens have allowed an average of just 2 goals per game in their last 6 games. The Coyotes have lost 8 of their last 11 visits to Ottawa. The Senators take advantage of their extra rest while Arizona is in a tough stretch of 5 games in 8 days leading into the All Star break. Free Pick OTTAWA

1* Free Sharp Play on Wichita State +2½ -110
My money is on the Shockers to cash in an easy win and cover here as a small dog against the Bulls. Wichita State is way undervalued right now, as they have lost 5 of their last 6 and are off a double-digit loss at home to Cincinnati. Thing is, Bulls haven't been playing much better, as they have lost 3 straight. USF is a mere 9-21 ATS last 30 as a home favorite of 3 points or less and 9-23 ATS last 32 at home off a home conference loss. Bet Wichita State +2.5!

10* FREE NBA PICK (Thunder -5.5)
I'll take my chances here with OKC at home against the Blazers. Portland has been playing great basketball of late. Blazers secured their third straight win with a 109-104 victory at the Jazz last night and are now 9-3 in their last 12 overall. I just don't like this spot for Portland. It's never easy when you play a back-to-back that involves a game at Utah and that was a very highly contested game. I also think it's that much harder here with OKC not exactly playing great here of late. Thunder have won their last two, including a blowout win at New York yesterday, but had lost 5 of 6 prior to that. I think given how bad OKC had been playing they will be eager to keep their foot on the gas, where Portland has had a lot of success and really do for a flat spot. Keep in mind the Blazers recently lost by 8 at Sacramento in the second leg of a back-to-back. Give me the Thunder -5.5!

The Los Angeles Clippers had yesterday off following their 103-95 upset win at San Antonio as 9.5-point underdogs on Sunday. The Dallas Mavericks had to play a tough road game in a 106-116 loss at Milwaukee on Monday. The Clippers are clearly the fresher team and I think they have a good chance to win this game outright tonight. Los Angeles is 5-1 ATS in its last six road games. Dallas is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games when playing on no rest. Give me the Clippers.

NCAA-B | Ole Miss vs Alabama
Play on: Alabama -1 -104 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Alabama -1
The Alabama Crimson Tide showed what they were capable of last time out with their 68-71 loss at Tennessee as 13-point underdogs. The Vols are currently the No. 1 ranked team in the country and deservedly so. And I don’t expect the Crimson Tide to suffer a hangover because they need a win here.
Plus, the No. 20 Ole Miss Rebels are coming to town with another chance for the Crimson Tide to knock off a ranked team and bolster their chances of making the tournament. And Alabama has some real impressive home wins this season over Arizona, Kentucky and Penn State.
Ole Miss is starting to get a lot of respect from oddsmakers due to their 14-3 SU & 15-2 ATS marks this season. But they’ve only played four true road games this season, winning three against Illinois State, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State, and losing at Butler. This is going to be one of their toughest road tests of the season.
Home-court advantage has been huge in this series as the home team is 10-1 SU in the last 11 meetings. Alabama is 6-1-1 ATS in its last eight games vs. a team with a winning record. The Crimson Tide are also 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Bet Alabama Tuesday.

NCAA-B | Boise State vs Air Force
Play on: Air Force +4½ -110 at sportsbook

My 1* Free Play is on Air Force (9:00 EST).
Boise State is 8-10 and it enters this one “reeling” after three straight losses. Most recently it fell to Fresno State. A bright spot in the most recent setback was the play of Alex Hobbs, who had 15 points and four assists. Only one other player would score in double figures though.
Air Force fans can empathize. The Falcons are 7-11 after falling 67-52 to a tough Nevada team last time out. Previous to that Air Force had won two straight. Lavelle Scottie was a standout in a losing cause to Nevada with 15 points and seven boards.
I think home court is a significant factor working in favor of Air Force tonight between these two struggling teams. The Falcons are a near-perfect 6-1 ATS in their last seven following a SU loss and they’re 13-5 ATS in their last 18 at home.
Conversely the Broncos have struggled in this spot for bettors, going just 2-7 ATS in their last nine road games following a three games or longer SU losing streak.
In a contest which I envision being decided by whichever of these hungry teams has its hands on the ball last, I’ll recommend grabbing as many points as you can.
Good luck…Larry
