Sharps hit Georgia odds early for college football showdown vs. Alabama
Patrick Everson

College football has reached its conference championship week, from which will come the four teams competing in this season’s College Football Playoff. We check in on the opening lines and early action for the Power Five conference title games, with insights from Derek Wilkinson, supervisor at The SuperBook at Westgate in Las Vegas.

No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs vs. No. 1 Alabama Crimson Tide (-13.5)

Defending national champion Alabama is one of two remaining CFP contenders with an unblemished record. The Crimson Tide (12-0 SU, 8-4 ATS) had little trouble with rival Auburn in the Iron Bowl, posting a 52-21 victory as 25.5-point home favorites to cap the regular season.

Georgia stubbed its toe in a mid-October loss at Louisiana State, but responded with five straight double-digit victories (4-1 ATS). The Bulldogs (11-1 SU, 7-5 ATS) dispatched Georgia Tech 45-21 as 17-point home faves last weekend.

“We took some sharp money on Georgia right away. We’ve moved it down to -13 for now,” Wilkinson said of early activity for Saturday’s game in Atlanta. “I think the public is going to like Alabama at less than a two-touchdown favorite, but the sharp money is going to be on Georgia. We’re anticipating this line to go to 12.5 or stay at 13 throughout the week. Most of the money will still be on ‘Bama though.”

No. 17 Utah Utes vs. No. 16 Washington Huskies (-5.5)

Washington crashed Washington State’s party to steal first place in the Pac-12 North and earn a trip to Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., for Friday night’s conference title game. Last weekend, the Huskies (9-3 SU, 3-9 ATS) went off as 2.5-point road underdogs and emerged with a 28-15 outright victory over the archrival Cougars.

Utah won seven of its last eight games (6-2 ATS) en route to winning the Pac-12 South Division. The Utes (9-3 SU, 7-5 ATS) capped the run with a nonconference victory over Brigham Young, rallying from a 27-7 deficit to win 35-27 laying 10.5 points at home.

“We opened this line at -5.5, and I still think that’s too low,” Wilkinson said. “However, most of the betting market is even lower at 5. We haven’t taken any action yet, but I’m anticipating most of the money to come in on Washington.”

No. 14 Texas Longhorns vs. No. 6 Oklahoma Sooners (-7)

The Red River Rivalry gets a repeat performance, with Oklahoma aiming to avenge its only loss of the season, a 48-45 setback laying 7 points at the Cotton Bowl on Oct. 6. The Sooners (11-1 SU, 4-7-1 ATS) followed with six consecutive victories, but cashed just once (1-4-1 ATS), barely escaping West Virginia last week with a 59-56 win as 3-point road favorites.

Texas won its last three games to secure a spot in this Big 12 final, to be played Saturday at AT&T Stadium, home of the Dallas Cowboys. Last week, the Longhorns (9-3 SU, 5-6-1 ATS) fended off Kansas 24-17 laying 15.5 points on the road.

“We already took a decent five-figure bet on Oklahoma at -7,” Wilkinson said. “We’re at -7.5 now, and I think that line is going to go up. Oklahoma just scores too many points for Texas to keep up.”

No. 24 Pittsburgh Panthers at No. 2 Clemson Tigers (-25)

Clemson is a monster favorite in the Atlantic Coast Conference title game as it aims for another trip to the CFP. The Tigers (12-0 SU, 6-6 ATS) capped their perfect regular season with a 56-35 nonconference victory over South Carolina as 25.5-point home faves.

Pittsburgh put together a 5-1 stretch (6-0 ATS) beginning in early October, helping it secure a spot in Saturday’s conference final in Charlotte, N.C. However, the Panthers (7-5 SU and ATS) got drilled at Miami in the regular-season finale, 24-3 as 6-point road underdogs.

“Although we haven’t gotten any major bets on it yet, we’ve already moved up with the market to -26,” Wilkinson said. “This game is being played in Clemson’s backyard, and Pittsburgh looked pretty bad last week against Miami. I think that line will either stay at 26 or possibly go a little higher. I also think Clemson is going to cover it.”

No. 19 Northwestern Wildcats vs. No. 10 Ohio State Buckeyes (-13.5)

Ohio State still has a glimmer of CFP hope, thanks to a blowout victory of its archrival last weekend. The Buckeyes (11-1 SU, 5-7 ATS) went off as 3.5-point home pups to Michigan, but rumbled to a 62-39 victory.

Northwestern found its way to Indianapolis for Saturday’s game by going 7-1 SU in its last eight outings. The Wildcats (8-4 SU, 6-4-2 ATS) finished with a 24-16 victory over Illinois giving 16 points at home.

“We’ve gotten some big bets on both sides of this game already,” Wilkinson said. “Currently, we have Ohio State favored by 14, and I think that’s a good line. Ohio State is going to win, but I don’t think it will be as dominant a performance as the Buckeyes had against Michigan last week.”

Pac-12 Championship Preview
Joe Williams

Matchup: Utah vs. Washington
Date: Friday, Nov. 30
Time/TV: 8:00 p.m. ET - FOX
Venue: Levi's Stadium
Location: Santa Clara, Calif.
Line, Total: Huskies -5, 44.5

The Pac-12 Championship Game kicks off on Friday night at Levi's Stadium, and we'll get some new blood in the battle. The Utah Utes (9-3 straight up, 7-5 against the spread) survived in the South Division, and they will be making the first-ever appearance in the league's title game. In fact, it might be the school's most important game since Kyle Whittingham took them to the Sugar Bowl against Alabama back in 2008.

The Washington Huskies (9-3 straight up, 3-9 against the spread) surprised the 10-win Washington State Cougars last weekend in the Apple Cup, pushing their rivals out of first place to claim the Pac-12 North for themselves. The season started with championship expectations of high proportions. However, a loss in a neutral-site battle against Auburn in the opener, and a couple of conference road setbacks against Oregon and California forced the Huskies to refocus.

The Utes lost in their conference opener back on Sept. 15 against the Huskies by a 21-7 score at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City as the 'under' (45.5) connected. The Utes followed that loss with a 28-24 setback in Pullman against Washington State, and an appearance in the conference championship game certainly didn't appear very possible with an 0-2 SU league start. However, Utah pulled together for an impressive 40-21 road victory at Stanford on Oct. 6, kicking off a four-game winning streak and cover streak to get right back into the thick of things. During the span the offense posted 40 or more points and things were humming again. The only loss since Oct. 6 was a 38-20 loss at Arizona State, but the team rebounded with three straight wins against Oregon and Colorado, as well as their rivalry game in the Holy War against Brigham Young in the season finale, 35-27. After a 1-3 ATS start, Utah ended up 6-2 ATS over their final eight outings.

The Huskies are making their second appearance in three seasons in Santa Clara, representing the North Division. They rolled past Colorado 41-10 in the 2016 installment to easily cover as 8 1/2-point favorites as the 'under' (55.5) cashed in that one. As mentioned, Washington won their conference opener Sept. 15 in SLC, and they fired out to a 3-0 SU/1-2 ATS start in the conference. They lost a heartbreaker in Oregon on Oct. 13, dropping a 30-27 decision in overtime, a game which could have been a win in the fourth quarter if not for a missed field goal. While that game might have knocked them out of contention for a national playoff spot, a stunning 12-10 loss at Cal on Oct. 27 looked like a potential death blow to their conference title hopes. The Huskies went 2-9 ATS in the first 11 outings, including an 0-6 ATS run from Oct. 6 through Nov. 17. However, they won in a snowy Apple Cup in Washington State to find their way back to the Bay Area and a potential Rose Bowl bid.

The Huskies ranked 52nd in the nation in total yards (421.2 YPG), while posting a very ordinary ranking of 64th in passing yards (236.2 YPG). They were a very ordinary 53rd in rushing yardage, too, posting 185.0 yards per contests with 28.0 PPG, ranking 77th in the country.

Senior QB Jake Browning took another step backward after his magical 2016-17 season. He completed 65.1 percent of his pass attempts (196-for-301) for just 2,692 yards with 16 touchdowns and nine interceptions while rushing for 114 yards and four scores this season. Senior RB Myles Gaskin missed some time due to injury at the end of October, but he still managed to roll up 1,076 yards (5.1 yards per carry) with 10 touchdowns, including 143 yards and a score in the win against Utah in mid-September. Sophomore RB Salvon Ahmed, the heir apparent to Gaskin in the backfield, posted 576 yards and seven touchdowns while actually outgaining Gaskin in yards per carry (6.3 to 5.1). Junior WR Aaron Fuller was good for a team-high 754 yards on 49 grabs with four touchdowns, while sophomore WR Ty Jones, a Utah native, led the team with six receiving scores.

This defense is championship caliber, and the secondary is littered with NFL prospects. Washington allowed 311.2 total yards per game which ranked 13th in the land, and their 16.5 points per game allowed was good for eighth in the country. Junior S Taylor Rapp is a game changer and heavy hitter in the secondary.

Utah averaged 414.0 total yards per game to rank 61st in the country, while the team scored 30.8 PPG to check in 54th in the nation. It was all about the run game, as they rolled up 201.0 yards per game to finish 40th in the land. Like Washington, it all starts and stops with defense for Utah. They were 15th in the country in total yards allowed (317.1 YPC), while yielding just 101.6 yards per game on the ground to finish sixth in the nation. They also allowed 19.2 PPG to end up 17th in the country.

Junior QB Tyler Huntley (collarbone) is listed as questionable for Friday's game. He completed 149-of-233 passes for 1,762 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions while also posting 304 rushing yards with four scores. He is a dual-threat signal caller for sure, checking in third on the team in rushing. If he cannot go it would be freshman QB Jason Shelley (54-of-96, 723 yards, three TD, one INT) taking the reins. No matter who is under center, they'll be handing off to junior RB Zack Moss, who led the team with 1,092 rushing yards (6.1 yards per carry) and 11 touchdowns. Junior RB Armand Shyne is the change-of-pace back, posting 442 yards and five scores on 95 carries. WR Brittain Covey is the Swiss Army Knife for Utah. He ran for a score, had a receiving touchdown and he was the primary kickoff and punt return specialist, too. He ranked 103rd in the country with 1,137 all-purpose yards.

Betting Trends to Watch

-- The Utes head into the game 5-0 ATS in their past five appearances on Friday, for whatever that's worth. They're also 7-1 ATS in their past eight appearances on a grass surface, while going 10-3-1 ATS in the past 14 against teams with a winning record. Utah has cashed in four of the past five outings on a neutral site field, while cashing in six of their past seven conference tilts. They have covered six of the past eight overall.

-- The Huskies have also excelled on Fridays, going 6-2 ATS in the past eight on the day. However, they're struggled with just one cover across the past eight conference battles, while going 1-6 ATS in the past seven overall and 1-4 ATS in the past five against winning sides. The Huskies have also failed to cover in each of their past five appearances on a grass surface.

-- The 'over' has connected in four straight for Utah against teams with a winning overall mark, although the under is 7-3 in the past 10 outings on grass.

-- For Washington, it's been all 'under' all the time. The under is 9-3 in their past 12 overall, while going 6-2 across the past eight neutral-site battles. In addition, the under has hit in eight of the past nine games against teams with a winning record.

-- In this series, the underdog has hit in five of the past six battles, while the 'over' is 4-1 across the past five battles, with the under hitting earlier this season.

MAC Championship Preview
Joe Nelson

Championship weekend kicks off in Detroit with the MAC Championship Game Friday night in Detroit. Northern Illinois has now represented the West in seven of the last nine title games while this is just the second appearance for Buffalo.

Here is a look at Friday’s closely-lined championship game in the MAC.

Match-up: Northern Illinois Huskies vs. Buffalo Bulls;
Venue: At Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan
Time/TV: Friday, November 30, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN2
Line: Buffalo -3, Over/Under 49
Last Meeting: 2017, at Northern Illinois (-8) 14, Buffalo 13

Buffalo has been the prominent MAC team all season since starting the year 4-0 with notable wins at Temple and at Rutgers. The Bulls started 6-0 in conference play to take a commanding lead in the East but slipped up at Ohio in mid-November before clinching the division title last weekend. At 10-2, it has been the best season record-wise in Buffalo history already and the Bulls will have two more opportunities to add to the win count.

This if the fourth season for Lance Leipold who won six Division III championships in eight years at Wisconsin-Whitewater and figures to be a candidate to be interviewed for major conference positions in the near future. Buffalo went 5-7 and 2-10 in his first two seasons before reaching 6-6 last year without getting a bowl invite.

Rod Carey took over Northern Illinois for the Orange Bowl at the end of the 2012 season after Dave Doeren was hired at NC State. In six-plus seasons he is 51-29 with the Huskies finishing in the top three in the West every season while this will be his fourth MAC title game, going 1-2 in three straight appearances from 2013 to 2015. A bowl win has eluded Carey, winless in five tries but the program has been a consistent force in the conference.

The Dollar General Bowl in Mobile vs. a Sun Belt team has been the typical landing spot for the MAC Champion though there are not true ranked bowl tie-ins for the MAC. The Camellia, Famous Idaho Potato, Frisco, and Bahamas Bowls are also tied to the MAC with the conference featuring seven bowl-eligible teams including six that are at least 7-5 this year.

West champion Northern Illinois is just 7-5 but the Huskies lost non-conference games to Iowa, Utah, and Florida State, while beating BYU for one of the nation’s most difficult non-conference schedules. The Huskies held this spot despite losing its final two MAC games to slide to 6-2 in league play, falling in single-score games hosting Miami and at Western Michigan in the final two weeks.

Northern Illinois has the top scoring defense in the MAC, allowing just 19.8 points per game while Buffalo was one of the conference’s top offensive teams, posting 35.5 points per game in conference play. These teams didn’t play in the regular season this year but Buffalo did face Eastern Michigan and Toledo in the crossover games for a fairly difficult schedule. Northern Illinois drew Ohio and Miami as both teams faced the second and third place teams from the opposing divisions.

Experienced mobile quarterbacks are on both sides with sophomore Marcus Childers playing significantly last season as a freshman for Northern Illinois. He posted worse numbers across the board this season however despite a similar record for the Huskies. Junior Tyree Jackson threw nearly twice as many touchdown passes this season compared with last season for Buffalo but he also saw major declines in most of his passing numbers compared with last season. At 6’7” Jackson is a difficult matchup for any defense but the Huskies have had great defensive numbers this season.

Only Clemson is allowing fewer yards per carry than Northern Illinois at just 2.6 yards per rush attempt on the season. The Huskies were only out-gained on the ground three times this season and never in MAC play with only Iowa, Florida State, and BYU holding a ground edge in this matchup while in six of eight MAC games Northern Illinois had a rushing edge of at least 96 yards.

Dominating the ground game has been the key to beating Buffalo this season as in the team’s two losses they had a major rushing deficit. In September Army out-gained Buffalo by 178 rushing yards and won 42-13 in Buffalo while in mid-November Ohio out-rushed Buffalo by 280 yards in a 52-17 result that prevented the Bulls from clinching the division at the time.

Despite the 6-2 record Northern Illinois played almost exclusively close games in MAC play with seven of eight games decided by 10 or fewer points in either direction. The only lopsided result was a home win over 2017 MAC Champion Toledo but that game featured nearly identical production but a few big turnovers and special teams plays tilting the scales to the Huskies. Northern Illinois actually has a negative scoring differential on the season despite being 7-5, though they outscored MAC foes by an average of 5.3 points per game.

Buffalo outscored foes by an average of 11.0 points per game overall this season and 10.9 points per game in MAC play. Buffalo scored at least 31 points in nine of ten wins this season while five of seven wins for Northern Illinois came with 26 or fewer points scored by the Huskies as these teams have generally been in contrasting types of contests and whoever dictates the pace could have the advantage.

2017 Meeting: In mid-October Northern Illinois visited Buffalo and took 14-3 lead with a pair of early second quarter touchdown drives led by Marcus Childers who ran for the first score and threw for the second. Buffalo would answer with 10 points before halftime including getting a field goal following a fumble for a one-point game at the break, 14-13. Northern Illinois had 1st-and-goal early in third quarter before a Childers fumble and on the next possession the Huskies missed on a 43-yard field goal. Buffalo got zero points after an 81-yard drive early in the fourth quarter with a missed field goal that could have taken the lead and a few minutes later an interception in Huskies territory also cost the Bulls a chance to get in front. Northern Illinois missed another field goal in the final minutes as the 14-13 edge held after a scoreless second half filled with missed opportunities.

Series History:

-- Northern Illinois is 10-0 S/U in this series since Buffalo joined the FBS ranks with the Huskies 7-3 ATS.

-- Northern Illinois has been favored by at least seven points in every previous meeting as this will be the first time Buffalo has been favored in this series and in eight of the previous 10 meetings Northern Illinois has been favored by 14 or more points.

MAC Championship History:

The MAC Championship has been won by the West representative in eight of the last 12 seasons and Northern Illinois has been six of the previous eight MAC championships, winning the title in 2011, 2012, and 2014, with the last title under current head coach Rod Carey.

Friday's Essentials
Tony Mejia

Game of the Night - Denver at Portland, 10:35 ET, ESPN

These teams are separated by a single game and should vie for the Northwest Division lead all season alongside surging Oklahoma City. Minnesota has won four straight games since resolving the Jimmy Butler saga and Utah figures to get things together, so this first encounter between the Trail Blazers and Nuggets is just the first of many divisional meetings whose importance will increase as we get deeper into the season.

Portland will be in Denver on April 5 and back home two days later to face the Nuggets for the final time this regular season, so these teams will likely remain tied at the hip throughout the season. The presence of Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic, who was selected for the Nuggets by Chicago with the 16th pick in 2014, also keeps these teams tied at the hip since he essentially lost a power struggle with Nikola Jokic since it was deemed too redundant to play them together.

Mason Plumlee, traded to Denver in exchange for Nurkic in February of ‘17, remains a crucial part of the Nuggets bench, while Jokic has become the face of the franchise. The 7-foot European former teammates get along off the court, so there’s no animosity out on the floor, but they do get after it understanding that only one can have the upper hand, a nod to their early days in the league. Nurkic hasn’t shied away from the resentment that head coach Michael Malone ultimately preferred Jokic, but he hasn’t been able to replicate his production from a first meeting where made 12 of 15 shots and finished with 33 points and 15 rebounds.

Nurkic averaged 16.5 points and 9.3 rebounds over the course of last season’s four meetings, three of which ended up being Denver victories. Although the Trail Blazers won the Northwest and the Nuggets failed to make the playoffs despite 46 wins, preseason expectations for ’18-’19 faded Portland. Per the Westgate Superbook, Denver was listed at 60-to-1 to win the Western Conference when the season began, while the Blazers were getting 120-to-1 odds. The Nuggets projected season win total came in at 47.5 and Portland was at just 42. Northwest Division odds favored Utah (8/5) and Oklahoma City (2/1) ahead of Denver (3/1), while the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves each came in at 12/1.

The acquisition of Isaiah Thomas, who has yet to debut this season, was Denver’s biggest offseason move, while the Trail Blazers re-signed Nurkic and returned largely intact. Portland lost popular bench players Shabazz Napier, Ed Davis and Pat Connaughton but added shooters Nik Stauskas and Seth Curry, so they simply dropped off in the eyes of public perception because someone had to in the loaded West and the thought of two undersized guards delivering another division title didn’t seem sustainable.

I wrote that someone has to freefall and was also of the belief Portland was the most likely candidate. At the moment, Houston is fitting the bill, but we’re not even one-third of the way in. As things stand, Damian Lillard has ensured that his Trail Blazers aren’t the ones to falter, averaging over 27 points and six assists through 21 games. He comes off knocking down a franchise-record 10 3-pointers to help turn back Orlando on Wednesday night.

Maurice Harkless has returned from a knee injury and is back in the starting lineup, but he’s 4-for-14 from the field and 0-for-8 from 3-point range, so he’s clearly still rusty. Despite his struggles, the ‘over’ is 5-1 in Portland’s last six games.

Denver is still without swingman Will Barton for a few more weeks and took a major hit when he went down given his playmaking ability and the energy he brought to the table, but Denver has adjusted and can win its fifth straight game here, matching a season-best. The Nuggets have surrendered less than 100 points in three consecutive contests and have seen the ‘under’ prevail in 14 of their first 21 outings.

This is the first leg of a season-long five-game road trip for Denver, which will return home before leaving to face Toronto early next week and will then head down to Orlando, Charlotte and Atlanta. Since the Nuggets have already handily defeated the Magic and Hawks, they’ve got a shot to continue their recent surge if they can close out the month with a win at the Moda Center, where they’ve only won once in their past 10 tries, capturing a 102-85 decision in a game where they didn’t have to deal with Lillard and held the Blazers to 6-for-22 shooting from beyond the arc. They’ll obviously have to account for him here, trusting Gary Harris and Jamal Murray to try and throw him off his rhythm early.

Best of the Rest

Washington at Philadelphia, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Wizards won't have Dwight Howard to help deal with Joel Embiid, so they're going to need to attack the paint and hope a big man who doesn't typically land in foul trouble makes mistakes. Thomas Bryant played 14 scoreless minutes in Howard's place the other night and the New Orleans rolled to a 125-104 win by controlling the opening half, building a 67-47 lead. If the Wizards don't get off to a better start, this may be a blowout come fourth-quarter. There have been 124 points scored in each of the last five games involving Washington and at least 117 in each of Philly's last six.

Chicago at Detroit, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Pistons have won the last four meetings between these Central Division rivals but had to survive a 33-point night from Zach LaVine in a 118-116 road win back on Oct. 20. Blake Griffin shot 5-for-7 from 3-point range but is just 4-for-14 from beyond the arc during Detroit's current 3-game winning streak. The Pistons have opened 7-3 at home and are looking for their fifth straight win at Little Caesar's Arena. The Bulls have dropped five straight road games and are 2-8 in opposing arenas.

Utah at Charlotte, 7:05 p.m. ET: The Hornets lead the Southeast Division since they're the only team currently over .500, but they're looking for their first three-game winning streak of the season after being denied the first three times they've had a chance to win a third in a row this season. The Jazz have a Western Conference-best eight road wins and will feature Donovan Mitchell, who has made it back from his rib injury. Hornets guard Malik Monk was limited in practice on Thursday but is likely to play his usual minutes off the bench behind Jeremy Lamb.

New Orleans at Miami, 8:05 p.m. ET: The Pelicans are just 2-9 outside Smoothie King Center, while Miami's 3-8 home record ranks among the league's worst. With Goran Dragic (knee) and Tyler Johnson (hamstring) sidelined, Wayne Ellington should again start, leaving Josh Richardson as the primary facilitator on the first unit. The Pelicans have begun starting Tim Frazier at the point, freeing up Jrue Holiday to play off the ball.

Houston at San Antonio, 8:05 p.m. ET: It's strange to see these two face off as sub-.500 teams coming in on losing streaks. Chris Paul is considered questionable, so any move on this game must await until a final decision comes down regarding his availability since the Rockets have been lost, without him, coming in 0-5 in games he's missed despite the dynamic efforts of James Harden.

Dallas at L.A. Lakers, 10:35 p.m. ET: Lonzo Ball shook off an ankle injury to play in Thursday's win over Indiana, while Josh Hart showed off improved movement as he tries to overcome his own ankle issue, so keep an eye on their availability. The Mavs will be looking to win for the eighth time in nine games and have climbed over .500 for the first time since Oct. 22. These teams played a 114-113 game at Staples on Halloween night, but that final is misleading since it was back when L.A. was completely collapsing down the stretch before acquiring Tyson Chandler.

Limiting opposing guard play

The Jazz rank as the top team in the Association defending the shooting guard position. They are allowing opposing guards to shoot 42.6 percent from the field and score only 17.8 points per game.

This is a tricky matchup for Hornets' shooting guard Nicolas Batum who has really struggled to get his shot going this year, averaging only 9.5 points per game through 30.9 minutes played. Take Under his point total today.


Making the extra pass

The 76ers have shared the ball well this season and rank third in the Association in total assists per game averaging 26.6, with that number even higher over their last three at 29.7.

Defensively Washington has allowed the most points per game with 118.2, and that number does not look like it will get any better soon with center Dwight Howard out for at least two months. The Wizards all season long have been burned by the extra pass allowing 25.6 assists per game. Points should be easy to come by in this matchup, and a lot of those plays will be orchestrated by Ben Simmons who averages 7.9 assists per game. Take Over his assist total of 8.5.


Putting the team on his back

Chicago is in for another difficult matchup as they travel to Detroit to take on the Pistons, winners of seven of their last nine games. The Bulls have only managed to win one of their last eight head-to-head meetings.

The Bulls are coming off two close losses, 108-107 to the Spurs on the 26th, and 116-113 to the Bucks on the 28th. Although they have lost eight of their last nine games they are still competing. The Bulls are as good as Zach LaVine is playing and he has been stellar since sitting out their matchup versus the Raptors on November 11th, and he has not had less than 24 points in any of those contests. Take Over his points, rebounds and assists total of 36.5.


Second chance points

The Thunder hope the Hawks continue their poor shooting of only 44 percent as the Thunder enter as the top ranked team in rebounds per game averaging 58.8, and in offensive rebounds with 13.3. The Hawks surrender 11 offensive rebounds per game, and the most total rebounds in the Association with 59.1.

This looks like a problematic matchup for Atlanta as Oklahoma City have won seven of their last ten and have been a much better team at home this season scoring 112.1. Having a huge edge in the rebounding game should lead to many second chance opportunities. Take OKC to cover as 12.5-point favorites.


Shooting woes

The Lakers have really noticed a decrease in scoring since Rajon Rondo went down with a hand injury. Over their past three games they have been the lowest scoring team in the Association averaging only 97.7 per contest.

Today the Lakers host a Mavericks team that has had their fair share of sluggish offensive performances on the road averaging only 105.9 points per game. Defensively they continue to play some of the best defense in the Association holding opponents to scoring 108.5. Take the total Under 223.
