Wednesday 2-28-18 Free Plays / Trends / Betting Info / Etc
Your Wednesday freebie is the Pelicans plus the points at the Spurs.
Why not?
New Orleans is hot, hot, hot. Winners of 6 in a row now, the Pelicans have also covered in 5 of those 6 wins.
San Antonio did upend Cleveland their last time on the court, but Coach Pop's team is only 2-6 straight up their last 8 games, and they have failed 2 of their last 3 when listed as the favorite.
New Orleans has started to "true up" to San Antonio in their recent series meetings, as the Pelicans own straight up wins in 2 of the last 3 series meetings, including a 107-90 win in the first meeting of the year back in November.
Against the spread, the Pelicans have covered each of the last 3 showdowns. They have also covered in 5 of the past 7, and 10 of the last 13 overall against the Sours.
While Houston should be safe on the "cut line" for an invite to the NCAA Tournament, I am sure Kelvin Sampson would like to see his team step up in this conference road spot at SMU on Wednesday night and walk away with a road win against the injury-riddled Mustangs.
The Cougars followed their clunker at Memphis with a epic beat down over East Carolina on Sunday, 109-58, but they have lost their last 3 visits to Moody Coliseum.
SMU's only 2 wins in their last 9 games have come against that Pirates team from East Carolina that I just mentioned, and with Milton, Ray and Foster still watching from the bench, I don't see how the Ponies have the depth to stay with this deep Cougars team for the full 40-minutes.
Houston did win the first meeting 67-58 as the -9 point home favorite on February 8th, and there just aren't many teams in the land that have been blowing as hot as the Cougars have down the stretch - 8-2 straight up, and 7-2-1 against the spread in those 10 games.
Play tonight in Dallas on the Cougars as the road favorite.
