DETROIT @ CLEVELAND | 1/07 | 7:00 PM EST

At least the Pistons make sense right now. A Derrick Rose-Andre Drummond pick-and-roll can at least produce passable offense. Detroit rebounds well. But the Cavaliers? They are in utter chaos. Kevin Love threw a tantrum on Saturday that got him fined, and then he mysteriously sat out Sunday for "rest." The only meaningful veteran on the roster so publicly sharing his unhappiness with the team can't exactly be good for morale. Until the Love situation resolves and the remaining veterans in Cleveland show some degree of respect for John Beilein, Cleveland should be bet against whenever possible.

Betting against the red-hot Thunder right now is a difficult proposition, but Brooklyn's two major problems right now are easily fixable. The Nets can't score when Spencer Dinwiddie sits? The return of Caris LeVert should help fix that. Brooklyn is shooting 28.8 percent from behind the arc in its last 13 games? Even a team with bad shooting talent would regress from that number, and while the Nets aren't elite, the presence of Joe Harris alone should garner some improvement there. The things making the Nets home underdogs in this one just aren't as important as Vegas thinks.

[golden contender]

Tuesday we have our NBA Western Conference Game of the Month and College hoops. For a Free play we will go with Montreal in the NHL. Detroit is the worst team in the league but somehow has found a way to beat the Canadiens twice on the road this season. The Canadiens fit a solid 103-43 long term road favorite system as well. Montreal has won 4 straight here and should serve up revenge tonight. See us on facebook to jump on the big Tuesday card featuring the NBA Western Conference Game of the Month. For the free pick. Make it Montreal. RV- GC Sports

TORONTO -147
PORTLAND @ TORONTO | 1/07 | 7:00 PM EST
10:49 AM
Portland has struggled on the road, going just 7-13, and has dropped six straight ATS as a road dog. On the other hand, the Raptors are a banged-up group, but they continue to play well and find ways to win. They are 14-5 at home this year and are the better overall team. Toronto will find a way to win a tough game. Raptors money line (-147) is the play.

The Nets have dropped six straight games (both straight up and ATS), are struggling offensively and are going to be without Kyrie Irving for some time. Meanwhile the Thunder are 9-2 in their last 11 games and have won five of the last six meetings against the Nets. Oklahoma City is 6-0 ATS in its last six games played on zero days rest while Brooklyn has dropped five straight ATS following a straight up loss. Thunder money line (-133) is the play.

OHIO ST. @ MARYLAND | 1/07 | 7:00 PM EST

This is a great matchup between two teams that have been ranked in the top five this season. The Buckeyes have struggled in conference play and could do so here, but they should play solid defense in a game they need to win. I believe this has all the makings of a low-scoring, defensive battle. The Terps are allowing just 61 points per game, but Ohio State has been even better, permitting only 58. The Under is 6-3 for the Terps at home.

VIRGINIA @ BOSTON COLLEGE | 1/07 | 7:00 PM EST

The Cavaliers have a dominant defense that has held its first three ACC opponents to an average of 40 points. Virginia's defense is ranked first in the nation at just over 46 points allowed, but the team is scoring only 55 per contest, which ranks 350th in the nation. Boston College also has struggled offensively and is one of the worst shooting teams in the country. The Under is 9-4 for both teams this season.

VIRGINIA @ BOSTON COLLEGE | 1/07 | 7:00 PM EST

The Cavaliers once again are off to a fantastic start, winning with their dominant defense. They have held their first three ACC opponents to an average of 40 points and are winning by an average of 16. Boston College had trouble shooting in a loss to Duke and likely will struggle again in this one. Virginia has covered 21 of its last 27 games as a road favorite, and the road team has covered six straight in this series.

The Senators have dropped four straight (0-3-1), have the second-fewest amount of road wins in the NHL (five) and have dropped six straight in this series. The Capitals are coming off a huge comeback win over San Jose and will be looking for their third straight win, but G Braden Holtby has been struggling of late. The Senators could be without leading scorer Anthony Duclair due to a foot injury. Take Washington -1.5 goals at -119.

1-Unit Play. Take #604 Louisville (-13) over Miami (7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
Blowouts in this series have been in short supply. But Louisville beat Miami by 13 in the season opener down in Miami and I think that they can do more here at home, especially coming off a disappointing loss to Florida State. Miami is wildly erratic. And they are coming off a 33-point blowout home loss to Duke so there is no telling where their heads are at. This team has also gotten wrecked by Florida (by 20) and Connecticut (by 25) so when they lose they tend to lose spectacularly. The Cardinals obviously aren't as good as everyone thought. But after back-to-back losses I think that they will be focused to bury the needle in this one.

1-Unit Play. Take #608 Maryland (-2.5) over Ohio State (7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
The Terps are undefeated at home this year and I think they will get a marquee win here. I think the Terps have played better against a better schedule this season. Ohio State may have peaked a bit early this year. They haven't been great off of their home court, losing three of their last four outside of Columbus. And the Terps really look like a different team when they play on their home court.

2-Unit Play. Take #615 Rider (-2.5) over Quinnipiac (7 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
I'm going to go to the well with Rider. I think that this is the best team in the Metro this year. This is the most experienced team in the league and to this point in the year they have beaten all the teams that they should have and they have lost to the teams they should've. Yes, Rider has struggled on the road. But Quinnipiac doesn't exactly have a dominating home court advantage. They are a chuck-and-duck team that just bombs a bunch of 3-pointers. If they are hitting, they have a chance for the upset. If they aren't, Rider should win easily. They have won here two of the past three seasons, winning by 15 and 17 points. Last year Cam Young went nuts and the Bobcats won in overtime. He's not here to bail this team out, though, and I think that Rider will find a way to get it done.

2-Unit Play. Take #635 Missouri State (+2.5) over Illinois State (8 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
Missouri State has lost three of its last four games. But they have actually been playing pretty well. They are 4-1 ATS in their last five games and nearly knocked off Loyola on the road on Saturday. Illinois has lost three of its last five, but they aren't playing well. They are just 1-4 ATS in their last five games. I know that home court means everything in the Missouri Valley. But I just think that Missouri State is the better team and that they are due for a win.

1-Unit Play. Take #648 Creighton (-1.5) over Villanova (9 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)

2-Unit Play. Take #654 Texas Tech (-3) over Baylor (9 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
I don't love this Texas Tech team. They really haven't played much of a schedule and I do think that they are a bit overvalued. But Baylor really hasn't tested itself away from home and this is just their second true road game of the season. The first was against Coastal Carolina so that only barely counts. I don't think that Baylor deserves its lofty ranking and I think they will get knocked off here.

2-Unit Play. Take #657 Utah State (-6.5) over Air Force (11 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)

5-Unit Play. Take 'Over' 144.5 Utah State at Air Force (11 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 7)
The Aggies are 11-for-42 from 3-point range in their last two games. I don't see that happening again. Not against an Air Force team that plays absolutely no defense. Utah State is on the ropes a bit after starting league play with back-to-back losses. Not just back-to-back losses, but back-to-back ugly losses, falling by 17 at UNLV and losing by nine at home to San Diego State. The offense has been the problem. But it absolutely should not be tonight against the Falcons. Air Force is No. 320 in the country in field goal defense and No. 320 in 3-point defense. Basically, they don't play any defense and instead try to outscore opponents. Air Force is too small and too weak to keep Utah State from getting whatever it wants going toward the basket. And simply regression should help get their 26 percent 3-point shooting back around their normal 33-34 percent. Air Force gave up 89 points to Idaho State, 78 to Loyola Marymount, 84 to Indiana State, 100 to Nevada and 85 to Drake. They've allowed at least 70 points in nine of their 15 games. I don't see any way that they hold a motivated BYU squad below 75 points in this game. Air Force also puts up a lot of points on its home court. They've averaged 85 points per game in their last five home games and they have gone 'over' in six of seven overall. The Falcons only shot 35 percent from the field in their last game so they should be primed for a better shooting night as well. I have this one at 84-75 for the road team.

(559) Sacramento Kings at (560) Phoenix Suns

You will read and hear the major media mouths, frontmen for their networks, call last night's victory by the Kings a easy-peezy rout of the Warriors. The truth is it was anything but. Yes, Walton's crew won by double-digits. But they were double-digit favorites. And yes, they were up by 20-plus in the game but they covered by a two-point bucket in the 111-98 final.

It was one of the worst shooting nights this season for the Warriors. Shooting from beyond the arc. At one point GS was 1-of-20 from the three-point line and they didn't hit a three pointer until their sixteen attempt. The finished 5-of-26 from long range. The Kings were as good as they can be. Sac shot over 50 percent from the arc and 48 percent overall.

The Kings had 22 turnovers and if they turn the ball over 15 times tonight in Phoenix they will have their ass handed to them. Anyone who has watched the Suns and Kings this year will agree with me... the Suns are a better team when these two go head-to-head. Booker owns the backcourt of the Kings and the new look front court of coach Williams tonight in combination with the injuries that Sac is facing in paint is not favorable for the Kings winning the second leg of a back-to-back.

Kings' Richaun Holmes had to leave the win over the Warriors with an injury to his right shoulder. He is questionable for tonight. Unlikely is a more accurate description.

The Kings were already without fellow frontcourt players Bogdan Bogdanovic (sprained right ankle) and Marvin Bagley III (sprained left foot) in the Golden State contest. And the trio are likely to be inactive tonight justifying a play on the Suns minus the touchdown.

(601) Providence at (602) Marquette
The victory over Villanova this past weekend has positioned Marquette in a situation that makes them to be a contender in a deep and talented Big East. Butler, Seton Hall and tonight's foe, Providence, are a perfect 2-0 in league play. M
The 1-1 mark in confernce play, the loss, was on New Years day in Omaha when the Eagles lost to Creighton by a 92-75 final.
Marquette's Achilles that New Year's day was committing twice as many turnovers as the Blue Jays. Thrwo in that Howard scored just 18 points didn't help the Eagles in the final 10 minutes of the second half.
Tonight's game is as close to situationally strong as any others in January. The matchup between Howard and Pipkins should not be called a matchup in truth... it should be and is not fair... not far to the Fryers and Pipkins. Howard will have his way with the Providence point guard.
I will keep tonight's analysis short and to the point. This Fryers team might be 2-0 in league play but they are suspect on any give night considering their poor shooting percentage as of late. In particular Dialo who is makingf just 1-of-5 of this three-point attempts.
Marquette in a rout tonight.

Mike Miller and Julius Randle with Elfrid Payton do give me just cause...because I accept the argument the Lakers may have little motivation as well...but the Knicks I believe are better than the current edition of the Pistons...and will Vogel put up with a 2nd straight pathetic, lifeless effort against an Eastern Conference cellar dweller....should he? Should Lebron? Well even if it's late we shall avoid...but I think it's quite possible this spread is tripled by the time we cash!

Tough loss with Toledo on the road against Ball State last week as I thought we might have an outright winner but missed the cover after all by 1 point in a 4 point loss! The Rockets are back in MAC action on the road again tonight in Cleveland to face Kent State...this time getting a smidge more points...and still my numbers have this off by the same margin...with Kent State not being worth anything more than regular HCA, if even this many points. One wonders how nervous Vegas already is with the disparity in record ON TOP of the venue. Kent State has looked good and is off a very solid victory over BG, by 18 points on the road to open MAC play. Toledo is on a 5 game losing streak including the aforementioned Ball State game and is on the road again coming into the game with an 8-6 record and Kent State is 11-2 at tip off tonight.
In addition to the numbers showing this a damn near equal matchup...we have more tickets on Kent but the line nearly sprinting away from them....and a 28-32 ATS trend spot for the team in Kent's positon tonight....including just 3 of the last 9 covered!

View Analysis

Kermit Davis' boys pretty much take what they can get on the offensive end for the season so far...when the opponent has a 100 or much worse defensive rating, they are able to usually handle them with no qualms and put up nearly 80 points or sometimes more...while limiting the opponent on offense. However, the last 3 times they played a team with a defense that is solid like the Aggies tonight at College Station, they have average 49 points TOTAL per game against OK State, Wichita State, and Butler. One thing A&M does not have in common at all with those 3 teams is offensive prowess! The Aggies are an extreme work in progress for Buzz in his first year, and while it has gotten better recently...at home they are suffocating on defense and suffocated many times by the opponent, with an 8-1 Under record on the home floor heading into tonight and have a really great win over Oregon State allowing just 49 points to the Beavers at home...and then holding up tempo Arkansas to less than 70 points on the road.
127 is not where I have this total and I think it might be damn near 6 or 7 points off from where I rank this game...while I also think A&M keeps up the momentum on their home court and get a big league win tonight in the 61-57 range....hopefully it is out of the ridiculous foul shot realm near the end and I think we cruise to a victory....be ready with live betting if you're able in case things get "out of hand" early on potentially...like can always be the case

I would advise a 0.60 unit five team parlay of Providence +5.5 over Marquette, Portland +2.5 over Toronto, Texas Tech -3 over Baylor, Green Bay -200 over Seattle, Clemson +5.5 over LSU. Parlay pays 11.10 units. THIS WILL BE THE FINAL UPDATE OF THE DAY AS THIS BETTOR IS NOT EXPECTED TO ADD FURTHER PLAYS. IF HE DOES I WILL ALERT YOU ON TWITTER. IF NOT, NEXT UPDATE WILL BE 12PM ET ON WEDNESDAY! I AM MOVING THE MORNING UPDATE TO NOON ET OR BEFORE BECAUSE THIS GUY ALWAYS HAS HIS ACTION IN BY THEN. So daily updates will be 12pm ET each day moving forward instead of 10am ET. If he bets earlier, then that’s when I will post for the day but you can expect everything by 12pm ET! No, I do not think 1 unit bets are crazy when down 11 units. Proper bankroll management would have you technically at 1 unit bets until around -30 units. The passive model I used for the Robin Hood Club was just that, a passive model for the Robin Hood Club and not based on any standard analysis.

I personally don't even understand who is favored in this game. I understand the circumstances would be different per se....but I STILL don't know something Vegas might know....so
Kennard is out
Morris is out
Griffin is out
Kevin Love is in...and I think Tristan Thompson should be in as well.
Brass tax: This is the lineup for Detroit no matter what basically....SO they're saying on Thursday night this is going to be Detroit -9 or 10 points???
HMMM
Detroit is finishing a 6 game road trip and just flew a long trip from LA to Cleveland to end this trip before a rematch with the Cavs again on Thursday night....if the Pistons are road weary and jetlagged and completely worthless in this game...uniquely they can just make up for it at home on Thursday....and apparently be laying damn near 10 points...at which point we will likely take Cleveland again??

Sure is hard to understand how this line isn't a bargain line....as with out other play in this package with the Under in College Station, TX tonight...this game in Athens features a visiting team that is bottom 10 in the nation at 342 with regard to offensive efficiency yet excels on the defensive end, near the top in forcing turnovers on opponent possessions as well a 94 def. efficiency, which is excellent. The winner of this game should achieve 60 points as Jeff Boals is going to be interested in getting down to playing solid, sound, effective basketball on both ends. They entered a home game against Campbell having only lost the 4 times they play FAR superior opponents and then lost at home to Campbell and then lost the MAC opener to Western Michigan as road favorites and lost by 12 points.
They have had a couple days off before the league home opener and get a pretty simple gameplan....beat a visiting team who just lost to Akron by 2 dozen points not even eclipsing 50 points! We have mentioned one of my favorite players in the entire country in Jason Preston, who leads the Bobcats this season and he is an all around stud and delight to watch play the game. He may not have a professional future of the heights he deserves but this is the kind of game he takes control on both ends and stops the poor run of play....just in time to still contend for a MAC title run!
