TOMMY BRUNSON

The Chippewas are back home buoyed by a 21-0 fourth quarter last week in their comeback underdog win at Western Michigan. Now Central Michigan is back home for a date with Eastern Michigan, and the Chipps are once again installed as the small home pup.

Eastern Michigan did rout Ball State in their last game, but the Eagles are just 3-6 on the season, so laying points on the road with Eastern is not something I am enamored with. True, Eastern Michigan has covered 11 in a row on the road, but all 5 covers this year were as the underdog, and each of the last 10 covers on the road are as the dog too!

Central Michigan has played their last pair (both wins), and 4 of their last 5 away from home, so look for the "home cooking" tonight to treat the Chippewas the right way. Series numbers show Eastern Michigan stopping a 4-game series losing streak with the home 26-21 win last season, but I am calling for the Central straight up domination to increase to 5-1 the last 6 series meetings.

Take any points available with the home team tonight.

4* CENTRAL MICHIGAN

Magic host the surprisingly successful N.Y. Knicks, who head into this game on no rest after defeating the Hornets at MSG last night.

The Knicks look GREAT, at home! They are 4-2 in the Garden but only 1-2 on the road..

The Knicks have to prove they can win on the road before they get my respect let alone my money.

Orlando is coming off of a couple of days rest, so they should be ready.

The Knicks on the other hand should be tired, especially Porzingas who has been a one man show.

Bet the Magic.

2* ORLANDO

Eric Schroeder

The Minnesota Timberwolves are playing really good basketball right now. They're 7-3 on the year and arrive in Oakland riding a five-game win streak.

Thing is, those wins have come against a struggling Oklahoma City team, the Heat, the Pelicans, Dallas and Charlotte.

None of those five are the Golden State Warriors.

I love the defending NBA champs as my free winner tonight, as they're about to give the T'Wolves a quick wake-up call.

The Warriors have knocked off Minnesota in 17 of the past 20 meetings, including twice by way of demolition in Oakland last season.

I'm banking on the chemistry I'm seeing from Golden State's fearsome foursome: Stephen Curry (25.7), Kevin Durant (24.8) and Klay Thompson (20.3) and Draymond Green (10.5).

Lay the chalk tonight, as Golden State wins by a dozen.

2* WARRIORS

[Can'tPickAWinner]

My free winner is icy, with the Minnesota Wild and Toronto Maple Leafs going Over the posted number.

The Leafs are in the midst of a three-game home stand, and have had a night to rest since being challenged by the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. Toronto, which has gone over in three straight games, is the No. 1 team in goals-for in the league, with 60 over its first 16 games played.

I know Minnesota is far behind with 40 goals scored in its first 13 games, and averages just 3.08 per game, but the Wild have poked in six twice in their last six games. They've also gone over in two of their last three.

The Wild are also 5-0-1 Over on the road this season, while the Leafs are 6-1-1 Over at home.

Play this one Over tonight, as they should get to 7 or 8 no problem.

4* OVER Wild/Maple Leafs
