OKLAHOMA CITY +2.5
HOUSTON @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 1/09 | 9:30 PM EST
Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau came up with a brilliant defensive strategy for Game 7 of the 2010 NBA Finals. They knew that Kobe Bryant's hero complex would compel him to shoot no matter what, so they doubled him. For most of the game, it made no difference. He kept shooting. Eventually, he relented and the Lakers pulled out the win. I don't expect Russell Westbrook to relent in this one. This is his night, his grand return to Oklahoma City where a hero's welcome no doubt awaits. Would you expect anything less from Westbrook on such a night than to shoot 10 or 15 times more than he should, if only for old time's sake? That's not going to end well against Chris Paul.

The Sharks have dropped 13 of their last 17 games and, to make matters worse, they just lost captain Logan Couture to a fractured ankle. The Blue Jackets have earned at least one point in 14 of their last 15 contests overall (10-1-4) and nine straight on the road (6-0-3). The underdog has taken five straight in the all-time series. Columbus is the better team and shouldn't be listed as the dog here.

1-Unit Play. Take #611 UNC-Wilmington (+12) over William & Mary (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Wilmington is an awful team, while William & Mary is a surprise team at the top of the CAA. However, I think that this could be a bit of a letdown spot for the Tribe after back-to-back huge road wins over Hofstra and Northeastern, respectively. They have Charleston on deck as well and I think that they may be mailing it in a bit today against an overmatched Seahawks squad. The reverse line movement on this team - it opened at 14 and has been bet down - is another red flag and this one is worth a dabble.

1-Unit Play. Take #614 Michigan (-5.5) over Purdue (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Bet Purdue at home. Bet against Purdue on the road. That's pretty much it. They have been a mess away from home, including a 63-37 loss at Illinois the last time out. I think the Wolverines are going to circle the wagons here after getting pasted by Michigan State on Sunday. Until Purdue does absolutely anything on the road they are a team to fade.

1-Unit Play. Take #617 Detroit (+1.5) over Cleveland State (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Neither one of these teams should be favored over any other team in college basketball. These teams are both pathetic. So when presented with that situation you take the points. Detroit has played an absolutely abusive schedule this year so they should be a bit battle hardened. The Titans also have the best player on the court in Antoine Davis, as well as the better coach.

1-Unit Play. Take #625 SIU-Edwardsville (+8.5) over Morehead State (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)

1-Unit Play. Take #632 Wichita State (-6) over Memphis (7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Wichita State has one of the best home court advantages in the AAC and I think that it will be on full display this Thursday. The Shockers are definitely overrated right now. They've played a soft schedule and most of their biggest games have come at home. However, there is no denying how well they have played in Koch Arena. They've won five straight at home, including a blowout win over Ole Miss last Saturday. Memphis hasn't exactly been pressed on the road. And they are coming off kind of a red flag loss at home to Georgia last weekend. This team isn't the same without stud center James Wiseman. And now they are dealing with some other issues as well, as D.J. Jeffries (who didn't play in that UGA loss) is just getting over the flu while roommate (and fellow starter) Damion Baugh now has the flu. Neither may play. And even if they do they may not be effective. This young Tigers team hasn't played in a venue like this yet this year and I think that they are in for a rude awakening. They aren't at 100 percent and I think that they are going to get pounded here.

1-Unit Play. Take #640 Oral Roberts (-3.5) over North Dakota State (8 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Oral Roberts has lost three straight. But all three have been on the road. They are actually undefeated at home this year, even though they have played a pretty easy schedule. NDSU isn't a great road team. And After three straight wins I think that they will stumble here. They've only been a mediocre team in Summit play the last four years. So after starting 2-0 I think they are due to trip up.

3-Unit Play. Take #658 Oregon (-3.5) over Arizona (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
I think that Oregon is going to hammer Arizona in this one and this might be a game I wish we had put more on. This is just Arizona's second true road game of the season. And it is one of the tougher venues in the Pac-12. I don't expect it to go well. Arizona has lost three of its last five games so it's not as if they have been hot. They are also coming off a peak effort in a total blowout of in-state rival Arizona State, so a letdown could be in order. Oregon has gone undefeated in their own gym so far this season and you know they are going to be sky high for this one after opening league play with back-to-back road games. I like the Ducks here.

1-Unit Play. Take #660 Stanford (-2.5) over Washington (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Stanford has played a cupcake schedule this year. But they've actually played really well against it and I think that they will be fired up for this game. Washington is an incredibly young team. This is only their second true road game of the season, and the first came against Hawaii. This is the first conference road game for this young squad. I think a struggle might be in order.

1-Unit Play. Take #671 Chicago State (+31) over New Mexico State (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
NMSU hasn't beaten a D-I team this year by more than 25 points. That includes really bad teams like Arkansas-Pine Bluff and Southern. Chicago State may only be a D-I team in name only. But 31 is still a lot of points.

1-Unit Play. Take #676 Idaho (+2.5) over Montana State (9 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
This is another game where neither team should really be favored too often over anyone. And the fact that Montana State is favored on the road here is a little dodgy. Idaho is just 5-9 on the season, but three of their losses are by two points or less so they aren't that far away from having a winning record. I think they'll pick up a W here.

1-Unit Play. Take #685 Northern Arizona (+5.5) over Sacramento State (10 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)

1-Unit Play. Take #689 Arizona State (+5) over Oregon State (11 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 9)
Oregon State has played an absolutely feeble schedule to this point in this season. They are in a letdown spot after their win over Colorado last Sunday (with the Buffs in their own letdown spot in that game). Arizona State should be set to rebound here after a horrific loss to Arizona last weekend. They've had to sit on that one all week so they should be ready to play. ASU is better than its record suggests. They've played a real schedule this year and all of their losses have come against Top 40 opponents. No shame there. This is a lot of points to be laying out when I actually think Arizona State is the better team.

1-Unit Play. 5-POINT TEASER: Take #604 UT-San Antonio (+11) over Louisiana Tech (7 p.m.) AND Take #689 Arizona State (+10) over Oregon State (11 p.m.)

4-Unit Play. #627 Take Louisiana (+9.5) over Georgia State (7 p.m., Thursday, January 9)
We cashed Louisana last time out as one of this week's 7-U underdogs that won outright. They'll have enough again to at the very least cover here. ULL can even up its Sun Belt record tonight as they go for three straight. Georgia State is coming off back-to-back conference losses just the same, so I'll say this one finishes up in favor of the home team but nowhere near the point spread.

4-Unit Play. #658 Take Oregon (-3.5) over Arizona (9 p.m., Thursday, January 9)
The Ducks have as impressive a resume as most teams so far this season. At 12-3 they don't have a bad loss and have even more strong wins. Arizona is a good team, but I think the Ducks in Eugene tonight minus a modest number is can't-miss. The Wildcats have played just one true road game, and that was a loss. Talented, but I don't yet trust this young team in a hostile environment. Quack Attack all the way in this one.

4-Unit Play. #663 Take Southern Miss (+10) over UTEP (9 p.m., Thursday, January 9)
The last few weeks have officially humbled the Miners. UTEP had started the season 8-1, but five of six in the loser's circle means they should not be laying this number, even to a bad Southern Miss team. Even going further back, UTEP has failed to score 70 points or more in eight of ten games. The Golden Eagles can put up enough of a fight to hang around in El Paso and cover this spread. Way too much credit being given to struggling team. Take the underdog in this one.
7-Unit Play. #676 Take Idaho (+2.5) over Montana Sate (9:30 p.m., Thursday, January 9)
A 5-9 record for the Vandals just looks like another losing record. But when you consider Idaho was 5-27 last year and one of the worst programs in the country, it shows this team is found a way to produce better basketball. And as much as we are backing the home team, this is equal parts fading a very unreliable road team in Montana State. The Vandals are coming off their best win of the year, an 11-point win at home over Portland State, good for their first conference victory of the year. That's two in a row overall at home, and I see another tonight. They host a Bobcats team that has lost five straight road games, including their last two games in the league away from home. In this series the home team has won five of the past six meetings, not to mention the underdog has gone 5-1 ATS in that same time. And in tonight's case that checks both boxes for the home underdog. Montana State is a completely fragile team on the road and at 1-6 overall its safe to say they can't be trusted away from Bozeman. They've only been a favorite three times this season, and never once on the road. Despite Idaho's status in the league, this is one they can and will get. The Vandals have covered three straight coming into tonight's match-up, while Montana State is scoring just 63 points in road games. The Vandals also have the Big Sky's second leading scorer in Trevon Allen and his 19.3 points. I'll take that individual skill and the team on its home floor coming off a confident win on campus. Another here. Vandals get their sixth win this year, surpasing all of last season's total. Idaho gets past Montana State, 76-71.

4% confidence rating
(505) Portland Trail Blazers at (506) Minnesota T'wolves

The Wolves are a defensive disaster. And as long as Towns continues to miss game to his current Knee ailment this Minnesota squad can not keep up offensively and show no signs of understanding Webster's definition of defense.
I waited to administer a confidence rating to this game because I wanted definitive evidence or an announcement that Towns is in fac not play. In addition I wanted to feel confident that Whiteside was starting. In a situation where the Blazers had Whiteside dressed and active in combination with Towns inactive this 4% play rating would move into the Big Ticket container, as a 5% release.
Portland with or without Whiteside has an extremely high porbability of winning. And jumping the current number of -1 or -2, preferably the money-line of -120 or less being better, is a solid investment in tonight's short slate of events.
The backcourt of the Blazers is dominatingly better than that of the Wolves and wiithout Towns the Blazers will score at will both inside and out and likely register at least 20 fast break points against the hapless Timberwolves.

PLAY: Witchita State Shockers -5.5 (good to -8)
4% confidence rating
(631) Memphis at (632) Wichita State
Wichita State has performed in and through a November to January non-conference schedule as good as can be expected. Better-than, all things being equal.

This American Athletic Conference contest finds the Shockers in terrific spot. A situational play against a highly regarded Finn Factor squad in November, this being Memphis, but with a Weisman in the paint. No Weisman and the Tigers will be subject to due diligence each and everytime they take the hardwood.

The Shockers have won seven straight at home. The league opener in Do-Dah saw the Wheat-Eaters playing exciting basketball. I personally had WSU being competitive this season but situationally believed they would offer little value because of their mid-major public perception.

HC Gregg Marshall called tonight a “big boy basketball” game. Marshall knows that he men have to be at their best each and every night to beat quality opponents. The Tigers are a quality troupe but without their big man in the paint they are suspect getting small numbers playing the role of visitor in league play.

WSU is lead by a group of young players. WSU's trio of top scorers are not yet Seniors. And Memphis are spring chickens compared to most of the league’s rosters. Memphis is, are if you will, a group of freshmen and sophomores. Memphis met a quality program in their last game, and fell, by a 65-62 defeat against Georgia on Saturday -- in Memphis nonetheless.

Bottom line in this contest is that Memphis is young and have been overwhelmed in close games away from the Mississippi River they call home. Freshman forward Precious Achiuwa has been one of the primary contenders in the paint since Weisman decided to put his cards in the NBA pot. The young swing has three straight double-doubles, averaging 17.3 points and 11.7 rebounds in that span, and seventh this season. Wichita State junior F Trey Wade is a quite All-Conference type averaging 8.8 points and a team-high 6.8 rebounds per contest.

WSU is working hard for quality shots and the practice has paid off. Shockers freshman Tyson Etienne (34) and sophomore Erik Stevenson (30)were money in the team win over the Rebels.

Without Weisman this Tigers group needs to be stellar on the defensive side of the floor... to win...The Tigers rank second in the nation in field goal percentage defense (35.2). The issue for the Tigers is that as good as Wichita State has been offensively they are one of the best defensive teams that Memphis will face the rest of the season.

Shockers were a Memphis team that figures to scuffle with the venue, the Shockers fan base and with their shot.

(677) Santa Clara at (678) San Francisco
The Santa Clara start to the season has kept this handicap to less than a touchdown tonight in the Bay Area. In addition to the Broncos 14-2 record the Dons have lost three straight. Those trio of contests were versus Harvard in overtime, a technically strong St Mary's and their last was at Portland (who was coming off a loss to Gonzaga. But a loss that was much closer than the 85-72 final score. Jumping off course to the guts of this tilt do not sleep on the Portland Pilots. The 9-8 Pilots are being overlooked, even by the likes of KenPom
Santa Clara played a cupcake non-con slate which is the variable that makes their 14-2 mark smoke and mirrors.

When February rolls around it will be the Dons who are challenging for one of the top seeds in the West Coast Conference along with Mary and the Zags... not the Clara Broncos

SANTA CLARA @ SAN FRAN. | 1/09 | 11:00 PM EST

When these squads met less than a year ago, the Dons were 14-point favorites. Since San Francisco has failed to cover its last five games, bettors have a nice discount. Look for the Dons to bounce back nicely from their three-game losing streak.

GONZAGA @ SAN DIEGO | 1/09 | 10:00 PM EST

For the first time in a very long period, Gonzaga has covered just once in its last five contests. Usually an outlier in covering, the team has been struggling in that regard despite winning eight in a row. A statement victory is right around the corner, and who better to post it against than a San Diego team that has lost each of the last 10 matchups by an average of 22.6 points.

I think the Cavaliers will play inspired ball after coach John Beilein gave an emotional apology after his “slugs” comment. The players seemed to take his apology in stride and believe his allegiance to the team. Look for a committed young Cleveland team to rally within and play a very good game.

Alex B. Smith 5% [CBB] (635) Marshall at (636) Middle Tennessee St

Time: 7:30 PM EST Marshall -4.5 (-110)
Analysis:The Thundering Herd of Marshall takes on Middle Tennessee State tonight on the road. The Herd are a solid entry in C-USA play coming off a tough 3 point loss against North Texas, but has done well ATS, covering 9 of their last 14 games. Guard Andrew Taylor has been a big boost since becoming eligible right as conference play begins. Meanwhile, MTSU has been absolute moneyburners, failing to cover in 9 of their last 11 games, losing 6 in a row straight up and scoring less than 70 points in 7 consecutive games. They don't shoot well and they don't protect the ball well either, both are issues that Marshall will be able to exploit in this game. Laying a very cheap price, Lay it with the Herd as a Best Bet!
Line Parameters: 5% at -6 or better; 4% if betwix -6.5 & -7.5; 3% if at -8 or worse.

Our best friend is in action early and based on his betting and risk levels, I advise a 1 unit play on MTSU +4.5 over Marshall, 1 unit on Weber St +2 over N Colorado and 1 unit on Boston Celtics +2 over Philadelphia. I would of course also advise a 0.50 unit parlay on MTSU +4.5, Weber St +3, Boston +2, SEA/GB OV47 and Clemson +5.5. Parlay pays 11.4 units. The guy is betting so early today I did not get a chance to reset and run the LJP for these games. I will probably have that done around 12-1pm ET! It’ll then be up as usual on the below link. Also because he is betting early there is a chance he could be adding action so be aware and keep an eye

OREGON -3.5
ARIZONA @ OREGON | 1/09 | 9:00 PM EST
12:53 PM
Oregon has fared well in this series lately because of its effective matchup zone defense, and Arizona’s long-distance shooting has been spotty. The Wildcats have not played out of state in more than a month and are a risk at 1-8 ATS on the road dating to last season. The Ducks are quacking at home with a 25-10 ATS record in their last 35.

STANFORD -2.5
WASHINGTON @ STANFORD | 1/09 | 9:00 PM EST
12:48 PM
Stanford has established itself as the Pac-12 sleeper team. It is permitting the eight-fewest points on average in the nation and its shooting is the 13th-most accurate from beyond the arc and 12th-highest overall. All but two of the Cardinal’s 12 straight-up wins have been by double figures, and they are 9-1 SU at home. The rebuilding Huskies are sure to struggle.

WICHITA ST. -6
MEMPHIS @ WICHITA ST. | 1/09 | 7:00 PM EST
12:36 PM
A flu bug has hit Memphis at an inopportune time. The Shockers will be jacked up with their first “blackout” game - fans dressed in black - in seven seasons. It will be jarring for a young Tigers team that has lost a beat since the departure of C James Wiseman. Wichita State trends well against opponents with shiny records and will be at its best in front of a rabid home crowd.
