WE have two of the the NCAA's best in defensive FG% as Vanderbilt #6 and Wichita St is #7 plus both teams are in no hurry to push the pace as they rank #208 and #266 in at Kenpom.com in adjusted tempo. When the Commodores have the ball they shoot a very pedestrian 44.3% away from home and are now dealing with pressure from their 1st NCAA tournament game since 2012. The Shockers meanwhile shoot an even lower 42% when away from home and you can simulate practicing against a pair of 7 footers in the paint like they will see tonight.The teams have combined to go 2-8 O/U in Neutral site games this season and Wichita St in their last 10 games has only allowed 2 opponents to even reach the 60 point barrier.
4-Unit Play. #536. Take Brooklyn -7.5 over Philadelphia (Tuesday @ 7:35pm est)
Remember, Brooklyn just lost to this team and we would make this a bigger step-out but there is no need to as if things work out for us going 2-0 today would be +700 for us so it's fine as we can go on a streak very fast with the way that we handicap and and we're looking forward to this selection. Brooklyn is a much better team than they showed at Philadelphia. This is a Brooklyn team that is still favored by a decent margin despite losing 4 straight but this is a team that has revenge from just losing to this team and tanking more at this point is not going to help them as Toronto has 9 wins and Brooklyn has 18. The Sixers are 2-7 ATS against teams with a straight up losing record and the Nets to their credit are 7-1 ATS coming off a straight up loss and 4-1 on a day of rest as well.
3-Unit Play. #541. Take Over 218.5 Sacramento vs. LA Lakers (Tuesday @ 10:35pm est)
Couple things here, this isn't a huge public favorite as we had originally thought which is something of note. Sacramento did not have Cousins in a recent game and now he is back from the suspension and despite the Lakers having revenge, this is a nice spot here for Sacramento to bounce-back with a win with Cousins back in the lineup. This team did not score up to their potential and frankly neither did LA in their last game given their quality of play of late, and both teams are on an uptick which is why this game is 13 points higher than the previous total output at 205. This is an opportunity for both teams to get back on track offensively, Cousins will be motivated and on the small line here, the Lakers can be an active underdog and send this game over the posted total.
