Toronto Raptors {B** bet - Money line bet. Note that the Raptors currently have the NBA's worst road record. It's early on in the NBA season, so win-loss records are not fully representative of projected numbers. The potential C bet is on 1/10.
Phoenix Suns {A** bet - You can either bet on the money line, or buy 3 points to bring the spread from -6.5 to -3.5 at no worse than -170 odds. If the {A** bet does not win, please double up and go to the {B** bet by taking the Suns again on January 9th. The potential {C** bet is on January 11th.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ NEW YORK | 01/08 | 7:30 PM EST
NEW YORK -2.5
ANALYSIS: The Knicks have won five of six and they're playing improved defense under coach Tom Thibodeau. Julius Randle is doing it all, averaging 23.1 points, 12.0 rebounds and 7.4 assists. While the Thunder are 3-1 on the road, I like New York to keep rolling thanks to its unselfish offense and feisty defense. Lay the small number.

CHICAGO @ L.A. LAKERS | 01/08 | 10:00 PM EST
CHICAGO +9.5
ANALYSIS: This is the Bulls' third game in four nights, but the Lakers are on the second night of a back-to-back. Chicago has been very competitive since its 0-2 start, covering six of its last seven. And, the Bulls are 6-0 ATS in their last six on one day's rest. LA should bounce back from its loss to the Spurs with a win, but this number is too high.

IUPUI @ MILWAUKEE | 01/08 | 12:00 PM EST
IUPUI +5.5
ANALYSIS: Milwaukee hasn't covered any of its last four home games, and I think this number is too big. In this series, the underdog has covered seven straight. Look for IUPUI to get enough from Marcus Burk (17.0 ppg) and Elyjah Goss (9.3 ppg, 12.7 rpg) to stay within the number.

PURDUE @ MICHIGAN ST. | 01/08 | 7:00 PM EST
MICHIGAN ST. -4.5
ANALYSIS: The Boilermakers are 0-4 on the road and now visit a Michigan State team that rediscovered its mojo in a 68-45 win over Rutgers. The Spartans not only held Rutgers to 30 percent shooting, they outrebounded the Scarlet Knights by 20. Look for the home team to improve to 5-0-1 ATS in the last six meetings.

N. KENTUCKY @ CLEV. ST. | 01/08 | 7:00 PM EST
CLEV. ST. -2.5
ANALYSIS: Northern Kentucky has won three straight meetings, but I like Cleveland State here. The Vikings have won six straight, looking dominant in conference play. The Norse are 0-3 on the road, losing by an average of 10.7 points. Lay the small number.

YESTERDAY 11:02 PM

L.A. CLIPPERS @ GOLDEN ST. | 01/08 | 10:00 PM EST
L.A. CLIPPERS -3.5
ANALYSIS: Steph Curry (ankle) was downgraded from probable to questionable for this one. If he's not at 100 percent, the Warriors won't be able to hang with the Clippers. LA welcomed back Marcus Morris in Wednesday's 7-point win over Golden State, giving this loaded team another weapon. Lay the points.

HAWAII @ UC RIVERSIDE | 01/08 | 7:00 PM EST
UC RIVERSIDE -6.5
Neither side has played since mid-December. There, the difference ends. Hawaii has beaten just a pair of D-II teams from the islands. Riverside has waded through four games against loftier competition, highlighted by a double-digit takedown of Washington. The Highlands’ stingy defense ranks among the nation’s few best, and they have not failed to cover in the past six games dating to late last season. The Rainbow Warriors have bowed ATS in 75 percent of their past dozen. Though Covid-19 has impacted both teams, the visitors’ roster has been especially shuffled by the disease.

UTAH @ MILWAUKEE | 01/08 | 8:00 PM EST
MILWAUKEE -5.5
ANALYSIS: Underdogs have been winning left and right this week, so perhaps I shouldn't say any spread looks too low, but this sure does. Utah is playing its fourth game of a seven-game trip and third game in fourth nights. The Jazz are likely to be gassed and have looked awful this week as it is with blowout losses at the Nets and Knicks. Utah also could be without three-point specialist Joe Ingles (questionable, although he's an ironman). The Jazz have covered only three of their past 17 vs. teams with winning records. Milwaukee, meanwhile, has won three in a row -- all at home and all by double digits.

+70 4-3 IN LAST 7 NBA ATS PICKS
10:03 AM

OHIO @ TOLEDO | 01/08 | 6:30 PM EST
TOLEDO -3.5
ANALYSIS: Toledo paid off for us as a slight dog at Kent State on Tuesday with an 84-82 victory, and the Rockets look like the MAC's best team in the early going on six-game winning streak (5-1 ATS). KenPom ranks Toledo as the No. 82 team nationally and Ohio at No. 119. Jeff Sagarin forecasts about a seven-point difference between the teams in this one with the Bobcats 1-4 ATS in their past five. Junior guard Jason Preston leads Ohio at 18.9 ppg and 7.4 apg but has missed the last three games due to injury and is not likely to play here. We may not know until warmups, but in smaller-school games (i.e. tougher to find news) sometimes you just have to take the chance on injured guys. This one can be seen on the CBS Sports Network.

+400 25-19 IN LAST 44 CBB ATS PICKS
9:43 AM

IUPUI @ MILWAUKEE | 01/08 | 12:00 PM EST
MILWAUKEE -5.5
ANALYSIS: Let's get our day off to a profitable start in the first tip of Friday at noon ET. Frankly, this seems like incredibly good value on Milwaukee because nearly every model, including SportsLine's, believes the Panthers will win by double digits. With so many COVID cancellations, this is their home opener. IUPUI was picked to finish last in the Horizon off last year's 7-25 mark and the Jaguars have managed to play just three games so far. They have not been good offensively in putting up 60.0 ppg on 38.4 percent shooting. This is the first road game for IUPUI, which is 3-8 ATS in its past 11 games after scoring less than 50 points in the previous game.

OHIO @ TOLEDO | 01/08 | 6:30 PM EST
TOLEDO -3.5
ANALYSIS: Toledo is looking to stay undefeated in MAC play and tied atop the standings with Bowling Green, while Ohio has won its last two games to move to 2-2 in the MAC and is 1-4 ATS in its last five games. Toledo has won six straight and covered its last five. The Rockets have gone 10-2 ATS and seen their rating rise along the way, but this spread is manageable. Toledo gets the cover.

+790 9-1 IN LAST 10 CBB PICKS
11:17 AM

PURDUE @ MICHIGAN ST. | 01/08 | 7:00 PM EST
MICHIGAN ST. -5
ANALYSIS: The home team has covered the last five meetings and we have Purdue coming in with three straight road losses, albeit against the three best teams in the Big Ten. Overall, the Boilermakers are 0-4 on the road and 3-7-2 ATS overall. The Spartans ended an 0-8 ATS run by winning at Rutgers, only the second opposing team to win there in two seasons. The Michigan State defense stepped up and held Rutgers to 18 of 59 shooting (30%). I’m looking for something similar here. Michigan State to cover.

ORLANDO @ HOUSTON | 01/08 | 8:00 PM EST
UNDER 225
Despite changes in coaching and management for Houston, the Rockets are still very driven by their three-point shooting. Houston was just 8-of-30 on threes in a loss at Indiana on Wednesday, and that is three straight games for Houston with less than 32 percent three-point shooting on at least 30 attempts. The Under is 211-157-7 when a team shot less than 33 percent on threes on at least 25 attempts in each of its last three games. Playing at home is unlikely to change matters for Houston. The Under is 11-0 when Houston is the home team with less than two days rest.

OKLAHOMA CITY @ NEW YORK | 01/08 | 7:30 PM EST
NEW YORK -2.5
ANALYSIS: The Knicks have been a different team with Tom Thibodeau at the helm. They have won three straight games, all against good teams in the Pacers, Hawks and Jazz. They even defeated the Bucks earlier in the season. One area of weakness for the Thunder is their lack of depth up front. That is going to be a problem against Julius Randle and Mitchell Robinson.

PHOENIX @ DETROIT | 01/08 | 7:00 PM EST
PHOENIX -7
ANALYSIS: This is a mismatch of epic proportions. The Suns are 6-2 and lead the league in fewest points allowed per game (102.4) while the Pistons are 1-7 and have allowed the fifth-most points per game (119.1). The Suns are also 4-1 ATS as favorites this season and 3-1 ATS on the road overall. Don’t be surprised if this game gets out of hand early.

Vernon Croys CBB for today

4-Unit Play - #865 Northern Kentucky +2 -110 over Cleveland State (Friday, January 8, 2021 at 7:00 PM)

Take Northern Kentucky ATS as my top college basketball pick for Friday night. This pick falls into one of my top CBB systems and I have Northern Kentucky winning this game by 4 to 8 points so we are getting a good line here tonight. The Norse are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games after failing to cover the spread in their previous game and they are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games. The road team is also 7-1 ATS in the last 8 games played between these two teams and I feel that Northern Kentucky is the better team here Friday. Northern Kentucky will win the battle on the boards and they have won 3 of their last 4 games overall. Play Northern Kentucky as we get back to our winning ways and move to 22-11 with my last 33 CBB plays.

CHARLOTTE @ NEW ORLEANS | 01/08 | 7:30 PM EST
UNDER 218
ANALYSIS: The Under is 7-0 when the Hornets are off a win in which Terry Rozier was not the high scorer. Even more compelling is the fact that the Under is 7-0 after any game in which Zion Williamson had a negative plus/minus. There have been three active dates this season, and all three stayed Under by 20-plus points. The team indicators reveal that the Under is 11-0 when the Hornets are rested after allowing more than 40 points in the paint and 7-0 when New Orleans is rested after a loss in which it made more field goals than its opponent. The Under has the value.

UNDER 209.5
ANALYSIS: The Under is 10-0 when the Thunder are off a road game in which Shai Gilgeous Alexander had a plus/minus at least 5 less than the team and 6-0 when they are on the road off a win as a dog in which Darius Bazley had a positive plus/minus. More importantly, the Under is 12-0 since Julius Randle joined the Knicks after a game in which he committed at least five turnovers. We make the play the Under.

ANALYSIS: The Over is 7-0 when the Bucks are off a win in which Khris Middleton made at least five three-pointers and 6-0 OU as home favorites off a home win in which Giannis Antetokounmpo had more turnovers than assists. Also, the Over is 10-0 when the Jazz have less than two days rest off a loss in a road game in which they had less than 15 percent of their points from free throws. We are on the Over.
