4-STAR Chicago over OKLAHOMA CITY - A few recent blowouts are in people's minds still here but this is a game we see as unlikely to be a blowout. Look for the Bulls to show up in primetime and make this a close game.
Chicago got a nice little build me up game Friday beating Charlotte 105-75. They had a ridiculous 37 assists on 42 baskets in that game. The Bulls are 6-0 ATS (15.5 ppg) since January 07, 2000 as a dog with at most one day of rest after a double digit win in which more than 75% of their baskets were assisted. More importantly, teams following a game where at least 84.1% of a team's baskets were assisted are 169-134-3 ATS.
Amazingly that efficiency went along with committing just six turnovers. The Bulls are 9-0 ATS (11.6 ppg) since February 04, 2009 as a road dog with at most one day of rest after a game in which they had at least five fewer turnovers than their season-to-date average.
Chicago shot 50.6% from the field in that game. The Bulls are 7-0 ATS (10.6 ppg) since April 12, 2011 on the road with at most one day of rest after a win in which they shot at least 50% from the field.
Luol Deng had a solid 14 points in the game including going 2-of-3 on threes. The Bulls are 5-0 ATS (6.4 ppg) since January 29, 2010 with at least a day of rest after a win on the road in which Luol Deng shot better than 50% from the arc.
SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: OKLAHOMA CITY by 3
4.5-STAR Chicago and Oklahoma City over - This is the highest total Chicago's played to this season but they are 3-1 over with totals over 190 already. Oklahoma City has only had one total under 200 the past six weeks and that well over. Only two of their last 18 games has a combined score under 200 and we don't see it happening here.
Chicago is coming off an easy 105-75 win over Charlotte Friday. They shot 50.6% from the field. The Bulls are 12-0 OU (20.0 ppg) since April 17, 2006 as a dog with at most one day of rest after a double digit win in which they shot at least 50% from the field.
They amazingly had 37 assists on 42 baskets in that game. The Bulls are 6-0 OU (20.2 ppg) since April 22, 2006 as a road dog after a double digit win in which they had at least thirty assists.
That goes along with having just six turnovers. The Bulls are 7-0 OU (17.9 ppg) since March 07, 2008 as a dog after a double digit win in which they had at least five fewer turnovers than their season-to-date average.
Chicago had eight in double figures as no one played too long, as Taj Gibson led with 17. The Bulls are 8-0 OU (11.6 ppg) since May 08, 2011 on the road with at least a day of rest after a win on the road in which Carlos Boozer was not the Bulls' high scorer.
Oklahoma City won over Minnesota, 127-111 Friday. Russell Westbrook led them with 37 points in that game. The Thunder are 6-0 OU (8.4 ppg) since May 21, 2012 at home after a win in which Russell Westbrook was the Thunder's high scorer.
He's been red hot shooting recently, and nailed both threes in this game. The Thunder are 6-0 OU (11.9 ppg) since April 24, 2010 after Russell Westbrook shot better than 50% from the arc the last two.
He also had five turnovers in that game and has been sloppy with the ball recently. The Thunder are 5-0 OU (11.5 ppg) since February 03, 2012 at home after Russell Westbrook had at least 5 turnovers the last two.
SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: 213 points

4-STAR PORTLAND over Boston - We see Boston running out of a little steam here tonight. Portland is one of the toughest places in the league to play. Look for Portland to get a much needed win tonight.
Boston is coming off a big win in Phoenix Friday night. They outshot Phoenix 56-42% in that game, giving the Suns no chance. The Celtics are 0-8 ATS (-9.6 ppg) since December 29, 2010 on the road after a game on the road in which they outshot their opponent by at least 10 percent.
However just 19 of those 44 baskets were assisted. The Celtics are 0-8 ATS (-6.2 ppg) since January 08, 2010 as a road dog with at least one day of rest after a win in which the percentage of their baskets that were assisted was at least ten percentage points lower than their season-to-date average.
They were led by Jeff Green with 31 points as Paul Pierce had just eight. The Celtics are 0-5 ATS (-12.1 ppg) since May 18, 2012 with at least a day of rest after a win on the road in which Paul Pierce was not the Celtics' high scorer.
When these teams met in November, Boston won 96-78. Nicolas Batum really struggled in that game, going 2-of-11 for just nine points. The Trailblazers are 11-0 ATS (9.8 ppg) since February 01, 2011 at home after losing the previous matchup in which Nicolas Batum shot worse than 33% from the field. Also, the Trailblazers are 8-0 ATS (11.8 ppg) since March 19, 2011 as a favorite after losing the previous matchup on the road in which Nicolas Batum scored fewer than 10 points. SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: PORTLAND 99, Boston 90

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball


4-Unit Play. #834. Take Charlotte +2 over Temple (Sunday @ 4pm est).

4-Unit Play. #836. Take Purdue -6.5 over Northwestern (Sunday @ 6pm est).

4-Unit Play. #842. Take Hofstra +3.5 over Old Dominion (Sunday @ 7pm est).

I'll try to keep today's analysis relatively brief. But, long story short here is that Charlotte comes off a brutal loss to St. Louis on the road and this is the same team that beat Butler on the road so think about how difficult that is as they try to bounce-back today. I watched the entire Charlotte vs. Temple game and this team just got better as the game went on and fell short by 1 point in the end. Don't be surprised to see Charlotte win this game Outright here. As per Purdue, revenge is always a good motivating factor and though they are not a high potent offense, Purdue needs something positive and this is a team that comes off one of its worst losses of the year at Indiana. They have the motivation to do well here at home as this is the same team that beat a Penn State team by a similar margin who is ranked in the same power ranking range at home. Plus, revenge always helps and Purdue does need a big win here to get to 6-8 in conference play. Finally, Hofstra is just 6-22 but a team that comes off getting hammered by George Mason at home by 29 is likely motivated to play well here today. I also believe that ODU is in for a let down after their big win recently at home against NC Wilmington. Its an ugly play but getting 3.5 points with the home dog here at home coming off an ugly home loss is not a bad idea for us and something we can take our chances on.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball


4-Unit Play. #812. Take New York -10.5 over Philadelphia 76ers (Sunday @ 7pm est).

The Knicks could win this game in a rout. They have struggled badly of late in trying to put together a positive win. The Sixers are likely a sight for sore eyes coming into today. The Knicks lost to the Sixers earlier this year by a score of 97-80 and though the Sixers come off a loss as well, I like New York to do well here at home as they come off 4 straight losses and you would think that this team has to show some heart here at home and bounce-back. This is the same Knick team that beat the Sixers by 22 on the road and 16 at home and with revenge, coming off a series of losses and a decent public fade here, the Knicks are likely to do well at home and win this game by the 14+ margin this evening.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey


4-Unit Play. #5. Take Vancouver Canucks -135 over Detroit (Sunday @ 5:05 pm est)
For the first time in (20) seasons, the Red Wings are trying to win without Lidstrom. They have the pieces in place to remain a Stanley Cup contender and to make the playoffs for the (22nd) straight season. Vancouver has quietly rounded into form and once again resembles the team that won last season's Presidents' Trophy and came within (60) minutes of capturing the Stanley Cup two seasons ago. Vancouver prides itself on being the fittest team as they often dominate third period action and with Roberto Luongo between the pipes, he still remains an elite NHL goaltender. Perhaps the biggest sign that things are back to normal is the impressive play of Roberto Luongo. ?Bobby Lu? seems to have quashed any talk of a goalie controversy. Only four Canucks played overseas during the lockout but all the key parts remain intact for the best regular season club in the league. The Canucks are (8-3) in their last (11) overall, (4-1) in their last (5) road games and the Red Wings are (1-5) in their last (6) games playing on no rest. Too much firepower at this stage of the season for this Detroit team that just played last night.
