triple-dime bet 836 Evansville -8.0 vs 835 Drake Analysis: 836 Drake at EvansvilleThe Bulldogs knocked off the Purple Aces as a small home« dog in the first meeting. That game occurred right after Evansville pulled off two outright upsets of their own against Wichita State and Northern Iowa. But now the tables have turned somewhat as Drake enters play after winning 2 of 3 games including an outright road win at Southern Illinois. Evansville on the other hand has dropped two straight at Missouri State and Bradley. This is a big game for the host who have lost four straight in this series, all by 9 points or better. After two straight losses this becomes a statement game for the Purple Aces. Drake is allowing 75.3 points per game on 47% shooting in true road games this season. Evansville is 11-2 straight up at home and they own the horses here. It's payback time in Evansville Arena. PLAY EVANSVILLE

Scott Spreitzer's NBA CONF TOTAL GAME OF THE MONTH! 25-10, 71% Run!
I'm playing the Over between the T-Wolves & Grizzlies on Sunday. I played Minnesota & New York to finish over the posted total on Friday night, but fell one basket short. Unfortunately, the Timberwolves went 1-for-13 from behind the arc. Shoot a horrible 2-for-13 and the game cashes. As far as Memphis is concerned, we can see progress starting to be made after trading away Rudy Gay, the player the offense previously ran through. The Grizzlies and their last two opponents combined for 192 and 195 points. Zach Randolph seems to have broken out of his slump, making 29 of 47 shots over the last three games, averaging 19 ppg and over 10 rpg. Meanwhile, the winning team in seven of Minnesota's last eight games has reached 100 points or more, including in five straight games. Each of their last eight games have topped the posted Total for today's game, with an average of 200.8 ppg combined, yet the number is being held down a bit due to perception involving the Grizzlies. The total is on a 4-0 Over run when Minnesota plays on the road, while Memphis is 5-1 to the Over in their last six. More of the same.

806 ORL 3.5(-110) Bookmaker.com vs 805 POR double-dime bet
Analysis: The Magic have lost 23 of their last 25, including 12 in a row. But they should be a very live home 'dog with leading scorer Arron Afflalo back in the lineup and facing a tired Portland squad that has a weak bench and is a bad road team.
The Trail Blazers have the lowest scoring bench in the league. That's a big factor because this marks Portland's fourth road game in six days. The Trail Blazers have dropped six of their last seven away contests. They are 8-17 SU away from Rose Garden, 10-15 ATS for 40 percent.
Portland has failed to cover 16 of the past 21 times when taking on a sub-.500 opponent. The teams met last month in Portland and the Magic took the Trail Blazers to overtime before losing.
Orlando is bad. There's no getting around that. But the Magic aren't Bobcats-bad. Now that Afflalo i ¸s back to join promising big man Nikola Vucevic and JJ Redick - who is probable to play after missing the last three games with a sore shoulder - the Magic are better. Afflalo and Redick are Orlando's two top scores and Vucevic had 25 points and 13 rebounds in Orlando's last game.
The Magic have held their own this season versus Western Conference foes going 8-10. This is the Magic's best chance to end their horrid losing streak before the All-Star break since their lone remaining matchup before then is against the Hawks.
