Larry Ness' 10* Western Conf. NBA GAME OF YEAR! (Won Eastern on 12/28) Sunday

My 10* Western Conference GAME OF THE YEAR is on Portland at 9:00 ET.
These teams both treated me well in their last game. Playing their second game in as many nights, I backed the Jazz against Boston, citing that the back-to-back situation wasn't likely to pose as much of a problem for the Jazz as the long layoff would for the Celtics. Though the line was about a pick'em, Utah would win by 15 points. My play on Portland was perhaps even easier. Despite being prohibitive underdogs, the Trail Blazers won by 32 points. I don't normally like to toot my own horn but will admit that I did mention that the Blazers were playing so well right now that I thought they had a real shot at upsetting the Warriors, something not many teams do and something I wouldn't normally say. Anyway, enough reminiscing. Among the reasons why I backed the Jazz and the Blazers in their last game is that they are both much better home teams and both were playing at home. The Blazers are up to 17-11 in games at Portland. While they're 18-10 in games at Utah, the Jazz are only 9-17 on the road. You may have seen that Lillard went off for 51 points on Friday. It was more than that though as he also made several outstanding defensive plays, ones which were important at the time. He'd finish with six steals (and 7 assists) without turning the ball over. Speaking of Lillard, the Blazers are 0-1 against the Jazz this season without him in the lineup but 2-0 against them when he plays. Homecourt advantage means more to some teams than it does to others. These are two teams that it means a great deal to. It'll mean a lot again tonight, as the Blazers win their eighth straight home game against Western Conference opposition.
Good Luck...Larry

NCAA-B | Michigan vs Maryland

Play on: Maryland -9 -106

Game Analysis
Michigan comes into today’s game at Maryland with a 19-8 record, but 12 of those wins have come on their home court. Michigan is just 4-4 in true road games with those four losses all coming by 10 points or more with their average loss coming by 15.5 points per game. The Wolverines have not been a competitive bunch in their away games, and we expect that to be the case once again this afternoon. Michigan’s defense has been atrocious on the road this season. The Wolverines are giving up 74.5 points per game on 48.3% shooting from the field and 36.2% shooting from the field. Michigan’s defense has been even worse lately as they’ve allowed 75 points per game on 50.5% shooting from the field and 40.2% shooting from three-point land over their last five games. The Wolverines will face a Maryland offense that is averaging 77.4 points per game on 49.2% shooting from the field and 36% shooting from three-point land at home this season.
Maryland returns home off a poor 68-63 road loss at Minnesota on Thursday night. The Terrapins also lost their previous game 70-57 at home to Wisconsin. Maryland played two of their worst offensive games of the season as they combined to shoot just 38.7% (41-106) from the field, 36.4% (12-33) from three-point land, and 63.4% (26-41) from the free throw line. Off those two poor performances and back at home where they recently lost, we expect a peak effort in this game. The Terrapins are 14-1 at home where they own an a terrific +15 point differential on the season. Maryland’s defense has been good at home while holding opponents to just 62.4 points per game on 40.2% shooting from the field and 27.4% shooting from three-point land. Maryland is in a terrific spot for a big bounce win, so we’ll lay the points with the Terrapins in this game on Sunday afternoon.
10* Play MARYLAND (-).

Dave Essler | CBB Sides - Sunday, Feb 21 2016 7:00PM
854 Houston -4.0(-110) Pinnacle vs 853 Temple triple-dime bet

Analysis: I do think waiting might get us a better number - but as usual want these out as soon as we can. Temple was crushed at home by the Cougars at home this season, so my only overnight hesitation was whether or not the Owls would be in revenge mode. We know they will, of course - but this is a situation and a matchup issue, IMO. Temple shot 3-23 in that last game from behind the are, and the Owls ARE a streaky shooting team. But, the Cougars are 7th in the nation in defending the perimeter, allowing less than a 30% make rate. Conversely Houston does much more damage offensively inside, which is where Temple's defensive vulnerability shows up. Temple doesn't get to the FT line very often - nor do they shoot well from it. Houston's FT % isn't tremendous, but they do get there more - which should add up. Houston beat Tulsa badly at home, LSU at home, Memphis, and even SMU. They can beat Temple. The Owls on the road - beat a UConn team that beat themselves (we were on Uconn, I know) - lost at Memphis, lost at a terrible ECU team, and struggled to beat both UCF and USF. If they finally played well enough on the road, great - but history says not tonight. Houston has a reasonable length advantage - so the only way Temple wins is to get super hot from deep, and back to the beginning, Houston a Äs a GREAT perimeter defense - the matchup "Trumps" the situation here.
