2-Unit Play. #830 Take Arizona State (+2) over Colorado (8 p.m., Sunday, January 6)
Can you say letdown spot. After missing out on an upset bid over undefeated Arizona, in heartbreaking fashion no less, Colorado has to attempt to regroup as they travel to Tempe in a tough environment to face the Sun Devils. This Arizona State team has flourished at home, posting a 10-1 record on campus. The Buffaloes are just 1-3 away from Boulder and here in this game I see it a tall order for CU to bounce back against a quality opponent. Arizona State has won four straight and eight of their last nine. I think these are two evenly matched teams, but considering the letdown circumstances and the tough play of the home Sun Devils, we'll back ASU to score the victory and improve to 2-0 in Pac-12 play.

3-Unit Play. Take #802 Toronto (+7.5) over Oklahoma City (1 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 6)
There is a lot of value in this Raptors team today. Toronto has been playing much better basketball as of late and Oklahoma City has not been as daunting when they play Eastern Conference teams on the road. Yes, the Thunder have won most of their road games versus the East, but they haven't blown anyone out. This bodes well for today as I don't see the Thunder getting too excited for a 1 p.m. game in Toronto on a Sunday. The Thunder have played Detroit, Philly, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Atlanta on the road this season and they have won those games by an average of less than six points a game. They have also lost to Miami and Boston on the road this season. The points will be crucial in this game as I see the Thunder winning but not covering the line.
