NCAA-B | Pittsburgh vs Syracuse
Play on: Pittsburgh +7½ -109 at pinnacle

Take Pittsburgh over Syracuse (2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 19)
I'm recommending a play on the Pitt Panthers plus the points over Syracuse on Saturday. Both teams are off big wins. Pitt took advantage of a shell-shocked Florida State squad and knocked them off on Monday night, while the Orange defeated Duke in OT at Cameron Indoor. I like the tenacious style of play on the defensive end by Jeff Capel's troops and I'm betting it'll be the difference in this contest. Syracuse is horrible on the offensive end on most nights ranked 280th and 321st in FG percentage and 3-point accuracy, respectively. The fact they made 11 of 25 3-pointers in the OT win at Duke was eye-opening and we feel it was an anomaly. In what should be a defensive slugfest, Pitt draws the line value in this one. I'm backing the Pitt Panthers on Saturday.

Play on: Evansville -1 -110 at sportsbook

Dave’s Saturday Free Play:
1* on Evansville -1
The Key: The Evansville Purple Aces have one of the best home-court advantages in the MVC. They have gone 8-2 SU & 6-2 ATS at home this year, which includes a 19-point win over Loyola-Chicago as 6-point dogs. Illinois State is 0-5 SU in true road games this season, and the Redbirds won’t be getting their first road win here today. Take Evansville.

ODU has played better offense lately as they have added extra scoring in recent games to go with BJ Stith and Ahmad Caver. I think we see 125 to 128 points on Saturday afternoon.

NCAA-B | SMU vs Memphis
Play on: Memphis -3 -105 at BMaker

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Memphis -3)
I'll take my chances here with the Tigers as a small home favorite against just about any team in the conference. Memphis has been overvalued in their last 3 games and failed to cover all 3. However, I think they are now way undervalued. SMU is not nearly as good on the road as they are at home and the Mustangs have failed to cover 3 of their last 4. SMU plays good defense, but they are shooting just 40.5% from the field in conference play. Memphis is averaging 81 ppg and shooting 48% from the field in league play. I just don't see the Mustangs having the offensive fire-power to go on the road and pull off the upset, which is basically what they would have to do for us to not cover. Give me Memphis -3!

NCAA-B | St. John's vs Butler
Play on: Butler -5 -104 at pinnacle

My 1* Free Play is on Butler.
St. John’s comes in off an 81-66 win over Creighton at home, but I think it’ll take a step back here in this difficult road venue. Butler enters off a convincing 87-69 road win over DePaul and I think it carries that momentum over here in front of the home town crowd.
This sets up as a bit of a revenge game as well, as the Red Storm took the latest meeting back on February 28th, 2018, a 75-68 double OT victory on their home floor.
St. John’s snapped a two-game slide with the win over Creighton and it comes in averaging 83 PPG and conceding 72.2. Shamorie Ponds averages 20.6 points, 4.3 boards and 5.9 assists per night for St. John’s.
Butler averages 74 PPG and it concedes 67.1. Kamar Baldwin leads the team with 17 points, 5.6 boards and 4.1 assists per game.
These teams are evenly matched in most respects, but the minor revenge factor, combined with home court swings the odds in Butler’s favor in my opinion. Additionally note that the Redstorm are still a poor 10-21 ATS in their last 31 following a conference game.
The Bulldogs on the other hand are a solid 4-1 ATS in their last five as a home favorite of 3.5 to six points.
I’m laying the points and banking on a blowout!
Good luck…Larry

NBA | Mavs vs Pacers
Play on: Pacers -6½ -109 at pinnacle

Jack’s Free Pick Saturday: Indiana Pacers -6.5
The Indiana Pacers come in motivated for a victory tonight off their worst home loss of the season. They fell 96-120 to the 76ers on Thursday and couldn’t do anything right. Look for them to take out their frustration on the Dallas Mavericks tonight.
This is a Pacers team that was playing very well previously, so it was simply an aberration. The Pacers are still 16-5 SU in their last 21 games overall. While the Pacers are 15-6 SU at home this season, the Mavericks can’t buy a road win, going 4-18 SU in road games this year.
And things have gotten a whole lot worse for the Mavericks in recent weeks. They lost backup point guard J.J. Barea to a season-ending injury, and he means more to this team than he’s getting credit for. They also have the Dennis Smith Jr. problem where he’s taking a break from basketball because of the trade rumors. And Wesley Mathews is questionable to play tonight with a wrist injury, while the Pacers are fully healthy.
Indiana is 11-2 ATS off a home loss by 10 points or more over the last three seasons. Dating back further, the Pacers are 25-6 ATS in their last 31 games following a double-digit home loss. Indiana is 11-5 ATS in the last 16 meetings, including 5-2 ATS in the last seven home meetings. Bet the Pacers Saturday.

NBA | Mavs vs Pacers
Play on: Pacers -6½ -108 at pinnacle

The Pacers are the top defensive team in the NBA giving up 103.4 points a game. They should be pumped for this home game against Dallas after being embarrassed at Bankers Life Fieldhouse by the 76ers, 120-96, this past Thursday. Indiana is 36-17 (68%) ATS following a loss. The Pacers are 9-2 (82%) following a loss of more than 10 points. The Pacers are very solid at home despite the loss to the 76ers winning 15 of 21 games. They have a winning ATS mark at home. Dallas is very bad on the road - 4-18 SU, 11-11 ATS. The Mavericks are 20-24 on the season because of their poor road record. The Pacers have played three below .500 teams during their past five games - Cavaliers, Knicks and Suns. They beat those teams by eight, 15 and 34 points, respectively. The Mavericks are short-handed in the backcourt with J.J. Barea out for the season and Dennis Smith Jr. having missed the last four games due to back tightness and illness. In addition, Dallas could be minus its third-leading scorer with Wesley Matthews questionable because of a wrist injury. The Mavericks have surrendered at least 114 points in 10 of their last 12 road games. If that road pattern continues the Mavericks don't have nearly the firepower to hang on the road with the defensive-minded Pacers. (Editor's note: Long-time NBA guru Stephen Nover is on another hot run going 22-11 on his last 33 premium/free NBA plays for 67 percent! Stephen has his strongest NBA wager of the season gong today - his 100-Dimer! Stephen is red-hot in all sports, including going 11-1 on his last 12 college basketball plays. So don't miss any of his winners!)

NHL | Sharks vs Lightning
Play on: Sharks +137 at betonline

Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Game #63 Saturday Free Pick San Jose Sharks Money Line (+) @ Tampa Bay Lightning @ 7:05 ET - Of course there are two ways to look at this game but, in my mind, that means there is only one way to play it...the VALUE way! Though the Lightning are off a loss so too are the Sharks! These have been two of the hottest team in the league and now, because this game is at Tampa Bay, we're getting the opportunity to take a red hot Sharks team at a money line return price range of +135. This is a great value as San Jose, prior to their loss at Arizona Wednesday, had won 7 straight games and 9 of their last 10. While the Sharks goal scoring has remained strong - San Jose has scored 3 or more goals in 18 of their last 19 games - the Lightning have now been held to 2 or less goals in 3 straight games! Also, the Bolts will be without center Tyler Johnson for this one and he is their 4th leading scorer both in goals and total points (goals and assists combined). The Lightning would love to avenge their 5-1 loss at San Jose from two weeks ago but, keep in mind the Sharks offensive production has been nearly unstoppable and the Bolts are struggling to find the back of the next for 3 straight games now and SJ did lose at TB 5-1 last season. The Sharks are hell-bent on a much better performance at Tampa Bay this time around. The Lightning have now lost 19 of their last 33 January games. The Sharks are a long-term 33-18 (including 7-3 this season) when off a loss by a margin of 2 or more goals. Grab the value with the big road dog here. Play SAN JOSE
