On Thursday the PAC 12 comp play is on Arizona St plus the points at 9:00 eastern. The Sun devils are 6-0 here at home vs Colorado and have same season revenge for a neutral court loss earlier the year, AZ. St has covered the last 5 off back to back games as a road dog and 8 of 10 vs teams who allow less than 65 points per game. Colorado has failed to cover 15 of 20 on the conference road and the road team in this series has failed to cover 10 of 11. The Buffaloes have failed to cover 3 of 4 off back to back home games and Arizona St is 4-0 with revenge. Look for the Sun Devils to cover.

1-Unit Play. Take #620 Manhattan (-1.5) over Quinnipiac (7 p.m.)
I like this Manhattan team. They are sneaky good in this conference and they have a nice little mojo right now. They have won three of their last four games, despite playing three of four away from home, and I just think that they are flat-out better than Quinnipiac. The Bobcats have won five in a row, but only one of those games was on the road. They are due to come back down to earth and I think they will with a loss here.

1-Unit Play. Take #622 Monmouth (-12) over Marist (7 p.m.)
Basically, I am stunned any time that Marist stays within double-digits of anyone. These guys are 1-11 in their last 12 games and a lot of them have not been close. Monmouth has been really good at home this season and I think that the Hawks are a little better than their .500 overall record suggests. If they are hitting shots tonight they will blow Marist out of the gym.

2-Unit Play. Take #630 Memphis (-4.5) over Cincinnati (7 p.m.)
Memphis has played all of its biggest games this season on the road. Oregon, N.C. State, Tennessee and Wichita State were all played either on the road or on neutral sites. Now this young Tigers team gets a big game in FedEx Forum, where they play their best basketball and feed off the home crowd. Cincinnati is tough. But they have serious issues. New coach John Brannen and star player Jarron Cumberland don't get along. This team lacks the veteran guard play it has leaned on in the past and they have struggled for most of this season. They've gone 10-6 to start the year, but it is the losses that are bothersome. Losing to Bowling Green, Colgate and Tulane is a red flag. Cincinnati is tough. They will hang around in this game. But I haven't seen them win a game like this on the road and I haven't seen the top end ability from this group like we've seen from them in years past. Memphis has lost seven straight to Cincinnati and they have some pent up revenge. They should get it out in this game.

3-Unit Play. Take #650 South Alabama (-1.5) over Georgia State (8 p.m.)
I am holding firm to my belief that USA is the most talented team in this conference. They may not be the best team. But I think that they have the most talent and I think that they have a ton of experience. It is a red flag that they are favored over the team that is currently No. 1 in the league standings. It is also a red flag that despite the majority of the action coming in on the Panthers, the line on this game has actually moved from Georgia State -1 to South Alabama -1.5. Georgia State has lost three of its last four road games and isn't the same team outside of Atlanta. This is just USA's second home game against D-I competition since Christmas and I think they will cash in.

2-Unit Play. Take #657 Utah (+13) over Arizona (8:30 p.m.)
This young Utah team has shown up for games like this all season long. Admittedly, they are not good on the road. However, when are people going to start asking about whether Arizona is any good at all? They have lost five of their last seven games. They only have two wins against Top 100 opponents and only one against a Top 50 team. Again, Utah is terrible on the road. But Arizona might just be terrible, period. And this is a hell of a lot of points.

1-Unit Play. Take #660 SIU-Edwardsville (-4.5) over Tennessee Tech (8:30 p.m.)
On November 21, Tennessee Tech somehow beat Winthrop. That was the last time that they stayed within 10 points of any other D-I team. They are truly one of the worst teams in the country. Edwardsville is certainly no great shakes. But they beat Belmont and have been playing teams tight early in league play. This is also their first home game since Dec. 4 and I think they will get a little boost from a familiar setting.

2-Unit Play. Take #676 Arizona State (+2) over Colorado (9 p.m.)
I know I have been spitting into the wind with Arizona State. But I still think that this team is better than it has played. And when you really dig in, their losses have not been bad losses. Right now they don't have a single loss to a team that I don't think is going to the NCAA Tournament. They also have revenge against Colorado for an 81-71 loss back in the season opener in China. Arizona State didn't have Romello White or Taeshon Cherry for that game. They will have both, and home court advantage, and revenge, in this one. I think they steal a win against a Colorado team that may be looking ahead to a bigger game with Arizona next.

2-Unit Play. Take #683 Northern Arizona (+9) over Southern Utah (9 p.m.)
One of these teams has won a bunch of close games this year. The other has lost a bunch of close games. So the records really don't tell the whole tale between these two. They have played comparable schedules, but Northern Arizona has lost three games by four points or less. Southern Utah has won six games by six points or less and four games by two points or less! Southern Utah doesn't score a ton so it might be tough for them to run away here.

1-Unit Play. Take #704 Drake (-7.5) over Illinois State (8 p.m.)
I think that Drake is going to bounce back from an ugly loss at Valpo last Saturday. The Bulldogs were in a clear letdown spot after their upset win over Loyola. I think that they will rebound here and this team is undefeated at home so far this season. Illinois State has a long, long way to go. They have lost three straight and four of five. They haven't won on the road yet this year and this team is just kind of a mess.

1-Unit Play. 5-POINT TEASER: Take #682 Oregon (-4.5) over Washington State (9 p.m.) AND Take #616 Northern Kentucky (-3.5) over Youngstown State (7 p.m.)

1-Unit Play. 5-POINT TEASER: Take #682 Oregon (-4.5) over Washington State (9 p.m.) AND Take #622 Monmouth (-7) over Marist (7 p.m.)

The Lightning are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and they are starting to show signs of why they were so dominant last season. The Lightning are 13-7-2 on the road this season and they are headed to Minnesota to face a Wild team that has lost three games in a row. It looks like Alex Stalock will be starting, he is 9-7-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage. Take the value in the Lightning.

The Caps are ranked just 11th in the league in goals per game at home with 3.39 goals per game. The Devils are 25th in the league in goals per game on the road with 2.48 goals per game. The Devils have the fourth worst power play in the league and the Caps struggle at home on the power play to just 18.1% effectiveness, good for 23rd in the league. Ilya Samsonov is starting for the Caps and in his last four starts, he is 4-0 with a .960 save percentage. Take the under.

Arkansas State has the better talent and is improving with each game it plays. Appalachian State is definitely on the downside of its form and I do expect the visiting Red Wolves to win straight up.

OREGON ST. @ WASHINGTON | 1/16 | 11:00 PM EST
1:58 PM
The last four Washington games have not exceeded 114 in regulation time, so it would be quite a leap to hit this total. Oregon State shoots it well, but the Huskies’ notoriously effective zone defense can throw a wrench into the visitors’ offense. The home side is hurting from the suspension of PG Quade Green, which has partly led to the scoring draught.

CALIFORNIA @ USC | 1/16 | 10:30 PM EST

t’s amazing how both teams have set up camp in Underland for an extended period. California is on a 35-17-1 streak on the road, while USC is a nearly identical 35-16-1 at home. More recently, the two teams have combined for one Over in their last 10 -- Cal away, USC home. Trojans standout Onyeka Okuongwa’s scoring slump could contribute to another Under.

COLORADO @ ARIZONA ST. | 1/16 | 9:00 PM EST
1:54 PM
The Buffaloes swept their homestand but are historically a bust away, with seven covers in their last 27. The Sun Devils have missed covering once in the last eight as an underdog in Tempe. Colorado is ranked despite a proclivity for turnovers, which looms large in its first road game since Dec. 13.

LITTLE ROCK @ COASTAL CAROLINA | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST

Little Rock is leaning toward holding out G Markquis Nowell (hamstring) for the third straight game. The Trojans have missed their versatile standout, whose 18.8-point average is second in the Sun Belt and 2.5 steals average is best. They lost both, scoring a season-low 43 in the latter. Coastal has won three of the last four straight-up.

ORLANDO @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 1/16 | 10:30 PM EST
2:54 PM
Yes, this line would look far better if Paul George (hamstring) was available, but considering that Orlando is playing on the second night of a back-to-back after posting their biggest win of the season over the Lakers, they likely will be emotionally - and physically - spent. Markelle Fultz was excellent against the Lakers, but he has tended to regress after great efforts this season. With Evan Fournier, D.J. Augustin and Michael Carter-Williams all dealing with injuries, Fultz is basically the last remaining ball-handler for Orlando. He'll have the undivided attention of Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard, and that doesn't bode well for the Magic.

UTAH @ NEW ORLEANS | 1/16 | 8:00 PM EST
2:46 PM
Until the Jazz manage to lose a game, there is no good reason not to keep riding them. Their winning streak is currently at 10. They've won the first two games of this road trip by double digits, and seven of their victories during the streak also have come by at least 10 points. They have the NBA's third-ranked offense since Mike Conley Jr. (hamstring) went down in early December, and while New Orleans' defense certainly has improved since Derrick Favors returned, it gave up 128 points to Utah when these teams met 10 days ago. The Jazz look unstoppable at the moment, so cash in while you have the chance.

ASA play on: OVER 225 Utah Jazz @ New Orleans Pelicans, 8PM ET
This marks the 3rd meeting of the season for these two clubs and the first two soared Over the posted totals with 248 and 254 total points being scored in the two games. Those two contests saw 184 and 183 combined field goals attempted which are both higher than league average per game. The Pelicans are 5th in the NBA in pace of play and will look to push the tempo. Utah is 20th in pace but make up for it with the 11th ranked offensive efficiency unit averaging 1.108 points per possession. The Jazz average 109.7PPG on the season but during their current 10-game winning streak they are scoring a hair under 117PPG. New Orleans has also seen an uptick in scoring of late as they are scoring +5 more points per game in their last five games compared to their season average. The Pelicans will be without Jrue Holiday tonight who is one of the teams leading scorers but he’s also one of the leagues best perimeter defenders which makes stopping the Jazz’s Donovan Mitchel (24PPG) that much tougher. The Over is on a 7-3 run in this series and win #8 is on hand this evening.

Jamal Murray is doubtful and both Gary Harris and Paul Millsap are questionable tonight. It's those injuries, as well as Denver playing the second half of a back-to-back, that has the spread so low here. But the Nuggets are the deepest team in the NBA with a steady rotation of hungry players loving the chance to get more minutes tonight. Nuggets get the cover.

No movement on this total despite $$ flowing and flowing on the "Under" per se....not a big game so it is understandable but there is where I find VALUE...130 here for me is the floor...late...and it will be stressful at points....as any Over bet can be in MAAC league play

Solid contest in the league here between a couple teams who really need a W, especially Eastern who has played 7 straight road games and are home for the first time since December 7th...no joke!
I think they have a solid chance at getting back on top and suffocating Jacksonville State who are back on the road after hosting a couple of doozies in Murray and Peay and not quite eking out a win in either...tough to get back up for this with dejection and travel and 0-4 opponent

Ridiculously bad spot for a (lack of a better term) ridiculously bad team....and not enough points as I rate this in the upper teens...before capping things like travel and matchups specific to this game....remember it is 6 hours just to get to the beautiful island and face a solid Rainbow bball squad.

Rotation #615
Youngstown State +8 over Northern Kentucky
Darrin Horn has done a great job so far in his first season with the Northern Kentucky Norse, but sooner or later not having Dantez Walton in the lineup is going to creep up on them.* The Penguins of Youngstown State are a veteran basketball team that share the ball well and every player on this team can rebound the basketball.* This team is very active with the defensive trap which causes a lot of turnovers.* I think this spread is a little bit too high.**Take Youngstown State.

Rotation #629
Cincinnati +4 over Memphis
Memphis is a talented young basketball team that is now one of the best teams in the nation at bringing the biggest high school players to their program.* It would have been cool to see this team with Wiseman playing the full year.* Cincinnati has a new coach in John Brannen.* I am not sure if he will be the right fit for this program, but there is no doubt these players are grown men and you will be able to see the size advantage not just in height but physical mass.* *This is a tough building to win in, but I believe the Bearcats are built just right to beat up on this young talented team.**Take Cincinnati.

Rotation #681
Sacramento State +6.5 over Northern Colorado
These two teams get together tonight with a lot of experience.* Both teams are off to good starts this year.* I just don’t believe that there is this much of a talent gap between the two programs.* The Bears of Northern Colorado have not been good on the defensive end either.* These teams have played each other tight over the last few seasons and I expect nothing different tonight.* Brian Katz is now in his 12th year coaching the Hornets and he should have his team ready to go tonight on the road.* There is value with the underdog.**Take Sacramento State.

Rotation #703
Illinois State +7.5 over Drake
The Redbirds took 2 of 3 games last year.* The bad news is their one loss knocked them out of the Missouri Valley Tournament.* It was one of those games in which they got down early and were done by halftime.* Drake has the better record this year, but I don’t think this team is almost 8 points better against the spread.* This Illinois State has a lot of transfers and I believe this will be a low scoring feel out game for each team.* Tremell Murphy being out for the season with a quad injury makes Drake vulnerable at the forward position.* I believe this spread is too high.**Take Illinois State.

5% Big Ticket: Take BYU (#670)
BYU is not going to have leading scorer and rebounder Yoeli Childs in the lineup tonight. They have a HUGE game against Gonzaga on deck. No surprise, then, that the betting markets are knee-jerking towards San Diego as road underdogs in Provo tonight, driving this line down to -15, even lower at many books.
But BYU has shown they can dominate without Childs. They played the first month of the season without him. They played the last week without him as well, including a 26 point win vs Portland and a tight OT, spread covering loss at St Mary’s. The Childs injury would matter against Gonzaga. It doesn’t mean much against this caliber of opposition.
And make no mistake about it – BYU is NOT looking past the Toreros tonight, not after San Diego ended their season last year with a monster blowout over the Cougars in the West Coast Conference Tournament last March; a game where the Cougs hit only 1-17 from three point range.
BYU senior leader Dalton Nixon, talking about their focus level against San Diego tonight: “What we took from (the loss in the tourney last year) is, any team in this conference can get us if we don’t show up. That’s what we’ve been able to learn. On any given night, if we don’t give 100% effort, anyone can beat us. We’ll be ready. We don’t want anything like that to happen in any game that we play. We’re really excited to be able to have a little bit of revenge from last year and also build on what we’ve been doing so far this year. There are so many good teams in the league. We may have been in a position last year where we were just expecting to get past the first round and see Saint Mary’s in the semifinals. We’ve learned from that. Now that we have a lot of seniors on the team, we’ve been through some really tough games like that.”
BYU head coach Mark Pope, talking about the potential distraction of Gonzaga on deck: “In this case, it’s easy to say overlooking San Diego for the Zags. But really what it is, is overlooking a game. These guys, so far, in the first half of the season, have been unbelievable at honing in at the task at hand. It’s going to do us no good to go have a great game against the Zags if we don’t come compete and play as hard as we’ve ever played against San Diego. It just doesn’t do us any good. We don’t have time to waste. We have to get better every single day. You don’t do that by thinking about Saturday when you’ve got Thursday and Friday to go. I trust these guys. It’s human nature to get distracted by anything. That’s what everybody’s fighting all the time — the ability to stay focused. So far, these guys have proven to be really adept at being locked in and focused.”
San Diego was a 20+ win senior laden team when they knocked off BYU last March, but four senior starters graduated and the results have been pretty dramatic – they’re winless in their first four conference games, SU and ATS. The Toreros have been blown off the floor twice in their last three games, including a 44 point home loss to the Zags, and they’re primed for another ugly showing against a particularly motivated foe tonight! Big Ticket: Take BYU.
