HAWKS @ RAPTORS O202 -105 *5* BEST BET
On the year these teams are a combine 57-43 o/u. The Hawks have had trouble scoring 3 of their last 4 games, but those came against the defensive minded Bulls, Grizzlies and Pacers. Their previous their 7 games their scored 109 or more in 6 of those games. On the road this year they have averaged over 103 and given up over 103. The Raps have played to 3 straight overs score and giving up over 100 in all 3 games. They have scored over 100 in 8 of 10 and the Hawks have given up 99 or more in 8 of 11. The Hawks have went over in 6 of last 7 on 0 days rest. Head to head these teams have went over in 5 of their last 6.
Score Prediction: Raptors 109 - Hawks 101
MAGIC +1.5 -103 *2*
Impressive back to back wins for the Magic, knocking off two the league's best in the Thunder and the Pacers. Orlando has now won 5 straight home games and 6 of their last 7 at home. The Grizzlies are missing Conley and it's showing as they are averaging just 84.6 points per game over their last 3. Magic win.
Score Prediction: Grizzlies 90 - Magic 93
HEAT @ WARRIORS O203 -107 *3*
This total and too low and we're going to capitalize. This total will grow throughout the day so if you're betting it, lay it asap. Both teams will hit triple digits, you can take that to the bank. The Warriors average 103.4 ppg, the Heat an even better 104.0. The Warriors average 104.4 at home, the Heat average 101.4 on the road. They met in Miami on January 2nd, with the Warriors winning 123-114.
Score Prediction: Heat 105 - Warriors 106
RAPTORS ML + KNICKS ML -105 *2*
We do not want to play with points here. We think the Raptors and Knicks come out with wins here. Atlanta on a back to back after getting smoked by the Bulls last night and now dropping 4 straight overall. The Raptors have been playing good ball at home, and keeping games tight all season.
Prediction: Hawks 101 - Raptors 109
The Kings are playing terrible ball right now, dropping 7 of 10 SU and are coming in on the back half of a back to back. The Knicks recent results are better then their record shows - having a tough stretch of games against OKC, Portland and Miami. They come in win 5 wins in their past 7 home games.
Prediction: Knicks 102 - Kings 94
WIZARDS @ ROCKETS O203.5 -105 *1*
ROCKETS TT OVER 106 -110 *1*
Houston's offense is RED HOT coming into this game, scoring 101+ in 5 straight games. The Rockets are averaging 110.6 points over their past 5 games - while Wizard games are averaging 203.8 points. In their last meeting (Jan 11) these teams played to a 114-107 Houston win.
Prediction: Wizards 102 - Rockets 110

SELECTION:
GEORGIA TECH -2.5
Boston College is not a good basketball team. They can’t play defense and they can’t win on the road. I don’t think they have the athletes to match up with a physical Georgia Tech team. Neither team has been playing well as of late, but I just don’t see a very bad BC program coming in on the road and getting a rare win tonight.
I am officially over this Pitt team. The meaning of insanity is doing something over and over again and not getting results. That is what happens when you bet this Pitt team. I know Cuse will probably not run the table this year and this is a good spot for them to get their first loss of the year, but this Pitt team has it in their DNA to blow games and they are the least trusted team in big spots over the last few years. Take Syracuse.
Washington played a great game last night against Memphis, but whenever you play the Grizzles it takes a lot out of you and it will now be tough for them going against this Houston team on a back to back schedule. Houston is better from top to bottom and should blow them out. Take the Rockets.
North Carolina is starting to pick it up over the last few games. Just when they looked like they were headed to the NIT they started playing well, but that will call change tonight. This team does not have the experience to handle a well-coached basketball team that hits over 40% of their three pointers. Take Duke

Game: St. Peter's at Iona (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: St. Peter's +13 (-109) at 5Dimes
The Iona Gaels have built a two-game cushion atop the Metro Atlantic Conference where they are 12-2 on the season. But this could be a place for them to be disinterested against a weak St. Peter's team, that they already beat this season. Iona has won seven straight games, and went over the 100-point mark in their last game for the second time this season. This game is very likely to be played at a much slower pace, as St. Peter's held the Gaels to 71 points in the last meeting, which was the lowest output by Iona in their last 20 games overall. That will make the big number here tough to take down, and Iona has shown a penchant for not bringing the "A" game vs. lesser opponents as they are just 15-34-3 ATS in their last 52 vs. a team below .400. Take the points on St. Peter's.

Richmond at Duquesne
OK, we'll bit on this one. We watch all conferences carefully, but because of our rooting interest
in Dayton basketball, we pay particular attention to the Atlantic 10 and know these teams pretty
well. Chris Mooney has done a fantastic job at Richmond and they still have postseason life at 15-
8 on the year, while Duquesne enters the game at 10-12 and losers of three straight. A couple of
things you will always get with Richmond...Princeton-style offense and great defense. This year,
their achilles heal has been their ability to consistently make shots, but the Dukes might be just
the tonic these Spiders need. The Dukes are allowing teams to shoot 47.3% against them in
conference play. Opponents are almost shooting 40% FOR THE SEASON against them from the 3-
point-line. Richmond really needs this road game before they get three straight games at their
place...the Spiders get this done tonight! The Sharps say...
