3-Unit Play. #740. Take Siena -6.5 over Hofstra (Monday @ 7pm est).
This is a good spot for Siena at home over Hofstra. Siena lost to this team last year and has revenge coming into this game. Plus, Siena comes off a tough loss at Canisius by 15 points on the road so they look to bounce-back here at home. And, if you take a look at Siena's schedule so far this year, it is riddled with top 100 squads so their record does not speak to their effort this year. This team lost to a top 150 La Salle team on the road by 5 points, beat a top 150 St. Bonaventure team at home by a bucket, lost to Purdue by 8 points on the road, lost to a top 100 St. Joseph's team by 12 points on neutral footing and now faces a team outside the top 200 here in Hofstra which is an easier matchup for this team. The Saints of Siena are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games coming off a loss and 4-1 ATS when facing a team with a road winning percentage of less than 40% as well (meaning, they win the games against weaker opponents and likely cover against such opponents). With revenge, coming off a bad loss and the ability to step up here at home, we have Siena likely to win this contest by about 11 this evening.

5-Unit Play. #705. Take Over 203 Detroit vs. Cleveland (Monday @ 7:05pm est).
The last time couple times these two teams have met the total has gone comfortably over. The last two times the total has finished at 216 and 215 overall. You'll notice that the line sits at just at a basic pick-em which is because the oddsmakers are expecting Detroit to likely win this game against Cleveland who is just not in sync right now. Detroit had scored more than a 100 points in its last 6 games before scoring 94 against Houston and losing badly at home. This is a bounce-back game for them and you can't hold the Houston loss against them because Houston was coming off an ugly loss to the Pacers and were looking to bounce-back. Cleveland had scored more than a 100 points in their last 5 games as well and for them to score sub 90 against Chicago puts them in a bounce-back offensive performance here too. And, you can't hold that performance against this team because the Bulls were ticked off from losing to the Thunder the contest prior and they too were looking to bounce-back. So, you have two teams that did not reach their scoring potential in their last two contests, both have an up tempo type of offense and with Detroit likely being an active dog here and Cleveland as the home team, look for this game to likely go over the posted total. The Over is 5-0 for the Pistons following a double-digit loss at home and the Over is 4-1 for the Cavs when they face a team with a straight up losing record.
Honorable Mentions: Atlanta +8 (revenge) Atlanta/Miami Over (line indicates active dog and the game to likely go over) Magic +1.5 (revenge) Detroit +1 (Detroit has consistently covered over Cleveland for the past few years) Phoenix -8 (Phoenix has covered 7 of 8 from the Lakers and are one of the hottest teams in the league, could be too much scoring for the Lakers to keep up)

3-Unit Play. #66. Take Florida -110 over Tampa Bay (Monday @ 7:35pm est).
There is a reason why Florida is favored here at home and that's because they are likely to win. Florida is just 14-18-5 compared to Tampa Bay who is 22-11-3 but note that Florida has revenge from losing 4-3 in extra time to Tampa Bay earlier this year. With the majority of the public on Tampa Bay here wrongfully it sets up for a good opportunity to take Florida at home as they come off a solid road trip going 3-1 but come off a loss in their last contest 2-5 in an ugly game to Winnipeg. This is a team that had won 5 straight all as underdogs prior to that so I suspect they will bounce-back here at home, with revenge and with Tampa Bay away from home after back to back wins at home, look for a let down spot here for the Boltz as Florida likely picks up the win as the line indicates. The Lightning are 27-59 in their last 86 road games and Florida is 5-1 in their last 6 overall, on the bounce-back with revenge and in a decent spot here.
