4-Unit Play. #745. Take Over 153 Indiana vs. IUPUI-Fort Wayne (Monday @ 8pm est)
These two teams met last year and it saw Fort Wayne winning in overtime in a shocker and Indiana will have its revenge coming into this game. The final was 71-68 and that included overtime and interestingly enough, do you see this total very high despite the last contest between these two teams as going under? It's because Indiana will return home after a big win against Notre Dame, with their offense going great and they likely will want to blow this team out in anger from that loss. Plus, Indiana might be more focused on the offensive end rather than the defensive end as Fort Wayne lost 86-67 to Kentucky who is the 18th best defense in the nation so against a defense outside the top 150, they should get plenty of chances to score here as well. Look for this game to go over for all these reasons above.
2-Unit Play. Take #713 Portland (+2.5) over Minnesota (8 p.m., Monday, Dec. 18)
The Blazers are playing top notch basketball on the road this season. Portland is 6-0 ATS in their last six road games and even better they are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games in Minnesota. The Wolves could possibly be without Jimmy Butler today. As of this writing he is questionable, but even if he does play he won't be 100 percent. We don't see him playing tonight as he didn't do much at practice yesterday and back spasms are a tough thing to get over quickly. The Wolves aren't a great team without Jimmy Butler as they are 0-2 without him. Look for Portland to continue their hot play and grab another road win.
3 Unit Play. Take #9 Under 5.5 -120 San Jose at Edmonton (9:05p.m., Monday December 18)
Both teams have been trending UNDER games and with this game being played in Edmonton (Rogers Place) I see a very tight and low scoring game on the ice. The Oilers last 4 games 3 of them have gone UNDER and at times the Oilers have trouble putting the puck in the net. San Jose has been an UNDER teams all season long going 9-21 O/U and with Martin Jones behind the net I see the Oilers having a hard time scoring at home. Oilers should have Cam Talbot in the net and his last two starts both went UNDER and he has also won 4-straight starts. Tonight in Edmonton I see the Oilers winning and this game staying UNDER the total
3 Unit Play. Take #710 Oklahoma City -4.5 over Denver (8:05p.m., Sunday December 18)
The Thunder get this game at home at Chesapeake Energy Arena and the Thunder come back home after a 3-game road trip and 5 out of their last 6 games were on the road. OKC grabbed victories in Indiana and 3OT winner in Philly. After that tiresome victory in Philly the Thunder fell short in New York but tonight I see the Thunder getting back to winning games and the Thunder are finally starting to play some good ball. Denver has split their last 6 games and if the Nuggets defense can't slow down Westbrook and the others I see OKC winning and covering this game. Denver is 4-11-1 ATS in their last 16 road games and the Thunder are 5-2 ATS at home against Denver.
