Friday's Essentials

Game of the Night - Denver at Philadelphia, 7:05 ET

The Tobias Harris experiment begins in Philly tonight. He’ll wear No. 33, which is ironic since the last guy who wore that number, Robert Covington, may be a better fit than the borderline All-Star the 76ers acquired to audition as the final piece in their plan for world domination.

Covington, currently nursing an ankle injury in Minnesota, was emerging as a fabulous “3 and D” guy, stifling opponents with his perimeter defense while shooting 38 percent from 3-point range. He was emerging as a guy who could be counted on in the clutch, able to swing a game by knocking out a deep shot or diving for a loose ball. The Timberwolves valued him so much that they targeted him as a focal point in the deal that landed the Sixers standout wing Jimmy Butler.

Roughly three months later, Harris replaces Butler as the new guy who must be accommodated since he arrives in town having taken 15.5 shots per game with the Clippers, leading them in points (20.9) and rebounds (7.9) while shooting a shade under 50 percent from the field and an eye-opening 43.4 percent from 3-point range.

It’s that number that becomes key as we see whether Harris can indeed help put Philadelphia over the top. Can he be that efficient when he can no longer count on touching the ball every possession?

Philadelphia rolled the dice in dealing for Harris, fellow forward Mike Scott and center Boban Marjanovic, taking on salary that allows L.A. to carry a pair of vacant max-salary slots into this summer’s free agency festivities. The 76ers parted with a pair of first-round picks, two second-round selections, talented rookie shooter Landry Shamet and forwards Wilson Chandler and Mike Muscala, who were all a part of Brett Brown’s rotation. The Clippers weren’t short-changed.

Harris and Butler can each walk at season’s end as unrestricted free agents, so this is a risky play that will require that everyone embracing playing with one another and wanting to move forward in pursuit of titles. Setting personalities aside (even though those will surely be a factor too), it’s worth wondering whether there will be enough touches to keep everybody happy.

Ben Simmons is the point guard and Joel Embiid is the focal point, so that leaves Harris, Butler and shooter J.J. Redick in situations where they’ll need to stay ready and rhythm without handling as often as they would like. Brown regularly runs plays to get Redick 3-point looks, but Harris and Butler will have to get in where they fit in, which could create issues.

Butler is a fabulous wing defender, so he can at least remain engaged on that end of the floor and make valuable contributions if his shot isn’t falling. Harris is an average defender at best and has only become a knock-down 3-point shooter over the past few seasons thanks to Stan Van Gundy and Doc Rivers empowering him in a go-to role. He’s not going to be the first option here, and it wouldn’t be surprising if he’s best-suited for a sixth man role with this group where he then joins the starters in closing games out after properly finding a rhythm.

“Let’s hope he goes in there and screws up all their chemistry,” Raptors head coach Brett Brown joked on Thursday.

There’s no fear in that because Harris isn’t the type to be a disruption even if he does end up slumping, but this roster tweak is no lock by any means. The 76ers front office did give Brown more options on the wing in landing James Ennis from the Rockets and Jonathon Simmons from the Magic, putting a pair of “3 and D” guys in place. Presuming Harris and J.J. Redick start, the bench will feature holdovers T.J. McConnell, Furkan Kormaz and Jonah Bolden with a host of new faces.

The 76ers are coming off a disappointing 119-107 loss to Toronto on Tuesday despite 37 points and 13 rebounds from Embiid. The rest of the team shot 42 percent and couldn’t battle back from a 40-28 first-quarter deficit in a game they trailed by 21 points.

On Wednesday morning, the front office quickly finalized the Harris deal. According to ESPN’s Zach Lowe, it also was engaged on talks with the Pelicans regarding Nikola Mirotic, who wound up with the Bucks. He may have been a better fit than Harris too as an equally adept long-range shooter who is more used to the catch-and-shoot game having spent the last year-plus playing with Anthony Davis.

Philadelphia will have a lot of moving parts to blend together as it attempts to avoid its first three-game losing streak of the season as the Nuggets come to town for their only visit. Denver won the first meeting on Jan. 26, prevailing 126-110 in a game where the entire starting frontcourt of Embiid, Butler and Chandler was given the night off. Embiid is listed as questionable with an illness tonight but is expected to play. Same goes for J.J. Redick, who was reportedly dealing with a stomach bug.

Denver has dropped consecutive games and seen its Northwest Division lead over Oklahoma City trimmed to two as it wraps up a four-game road swing. The Nuggets gave up 129 points in a blowout loss in Detroit before losing 135-130 on Wednesday in Brooklyn. That’s the most points they’ve given up over any two-game stretch this season, so they’ll be looking for a stronger defensive effort despite the continued absence of top perimeter defender Gary Harris, who will miss another game due to an adductor strain.

Paul Millsap has also been out of the lineup with an ankle sprain and is listed as questionable, while Jamal Murray just got back on Wednesday after a six-game absence due to a significant ankle sprain. He was playing superb ball before going down and returned with 19 points and 11 assists in Brooklyn but missed the Philly game back on Jan. 26.

Hopefully there will be no lingering soreness limiting Murray as he looks to help the Nuggets pull off a season sweep after Nikola Jokic took advantage of a barren frontcourt by finishing with 32 points, 18 boards and 10 assists. That lopsided win was the first of the six Murray ended up missing, stunting a stretch that had seen him averaged 17.9 points and 4.4 assists over his previous 10 games. With Will Barton also back, the Nuggets could have a very strong passing team in place if Millsap participates.

The ‘under’ has prevailed in Philadelphia’s last four contests, but given Denver’s recent defensive form, could be risky. The Pistons shot 54.5 percent against the Nuggets and drained 16 of 37 3-point attempts, while the Nets shot 51. 1 percent from the field and shot a blistering 55.9 percent from beyond the arc, shooting 19-for-34.

Harris is 1-2 against the Nuggets this season, averaging 19.3 points and 9.3 rebounds while shooting 5-for-13 on 3-pointers.

Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Saint Louis at St. Joseph’s – 7:00 PM EST – ESPN2

These two Atlantic 10 squads meet for the second time this season and both matchups coincidentally were scheduled on a Friday night. In the first go-around last month, Saint Louis (15-8 SU, 8-14-1 ATS) held off St. Joseph’s (10-13 SU, 8-15 ATS) as eight-point home favorites, 68-57 to improve to 9-1 SU and 10-0 ATS in the past 10 matchups since February 2010.

The Billikens capped off a 5-0 start in A-10 play with that victory over St. Joe’s on January 18, but SLU went the wrong way over a two-week stretch by losing four consecutive games. Travis Ford’s team ended that skid in Tuesday’s 73-60 home triumph over Dayton, 73-60 to cash as two-point underdogs. The Billikens jumped out to a 12-point halftime lead, while five players scored in double-figures led by D.J. Foreman’s 18 points.

The Hawks began A-10 action by losing four straight games, including home favorite defeats to George Mason and George Washington. The first conference win for St. Joe’s came in surprising fashion by edging Davidson, 61-60 as 4 ½-point home underdogs on January 15. The Hawks are winless on the road inside the A-10 at 0-5, but Phil Martelli’s club has won three straight at home by a combined seven points.

Kent State at Akron – 9:00 PM EST – ESPNU

Bowling Green (8-1 MAC) and Buffalo (7-2) are the top two teams in the Eastern division of the Mid-American Conference, as the next two teams in the standings hook up on Friday. Kent State (17-5 SU, 10-9-1 ATS) has lost at home to Bowling Green and Buffalo, but the Golden Flashes enter Friday’s action at 5-1 in the last six games. The Golden Flashes have won two of those games in overtime against Toledo and Ball State, while coming off a 70-67 home triumph over Miami (Ohio) on Tuesday as 4 ½-point favorites.

Akron (13-9 SU, 8-12 ATS) sits one game behind Kent State for third place in the East at 5-4, but the Zips have turned into pointspread poison in MACtion. In nine conference affairs, Akron has compiled a dreadful 1-8 ATS mark with the lone cover coming in last Saturday’s 12-point win at Ohio as a two-point underdog. The Zips have won all four home conference contests, but have failed to cash in those four victories, while riding a seven-game UNDER streak overall.

The Golden Flashes and Zips have yet to hook up this season as the home team won both matchups last season. Akron edged Kent State in the season finale, 67-65, while the UNDER hit for the sixth consecutive time in the series. The Golden Flashes own a solid 4-1-1 ATS record as a road underdog this season, which includes outright victories as a double-digit ‘dog at Vanderbilt and Oregon State.

Ivy League Nuggets

-- The top two teams in the Ivy meet for a showdown in New Haven as Yale hosts Princeton. The Tigers (12-5 SU, 9-6 ATS) look to remain perfect in league play after starting 4-0 for the second time in three seasons. Two of those wins came in overtime against Penn and Cornell, while holding three Ivy opponents to 55 points or less in regulation. The Bulldogs (13-4 SU, 9-7 ATS) have yet to lose a home game this season at 6-0, but only one of those victories came in league action against Brown.

Yale has cashed in all three wins, with the lone blemish coming to rival Harvard in a 16-point road setback. Both matchups between Yale and Princeton reached overtime last season with the home team winning each time.

-- Both Penn and Brown have slumped to 1-3 records in Ivy League action through the first two month of league play. The Quakers (13-7 SU, 11-8 ATS) lost a pair of games to Princeton to tip off Ivy play, while finally breaking through the win column in last Saturday’s 72-70 victory at Columbia as 5 ½-point favorites.

The Bears (13-7 SU, 7-8-3 ATS) brought a six-game winning streak into conference play, but lost a home-and-home set to Yale, followed by a two-point triumph at Dartmouth. Brown was blown out the next day at Harvard, 68-47 but the Bears own a terrific 8-1 home mark this season.

-- The bottom four teams in the Ivy own 1-3 records in the league. Penn and Brown meet on Friday, while Columbia (6-12 SU, 7-8-1 ATS) tries to move towards the top half with a win over Harvard (10-7 SU, 8-8 ATS). The Lions have been competitive so far in Ivy action in spite of only one win as Columbia has lost by one point at Cornell and by two to Penn last Saturday. Columbia has covered in four of the last five opportunities as a road underdog, while splitting two meetings with Harvard last season.

The Crimson rebounded from an 18-point loss at Dartmouth to open Ivy play to win three straight games, all at home. Harvard failed to cover in the revenge win over Dartmouth, but the Crimson are coming off a pair of blowouts over Yale and Brown.

-- Dartmouth felt good about itself after blasting Harvard, 81-63 as 6 ½-point home underdogs on January 12. However, three losses later and the Big Green (10-10 SU, 8-7-3 ATS) is searching for answers after falling at home to Brown and Yale last weekend. Dartmouth welcomes in Cornell (10-10 SU, 8-10 ATS), who has alternated wins and losses in a 2-2 Ivy start.

The Big Red split a pair of close games with Columbia, followed by a nine-point triumph over Penn as 6 ½-point underdogs. However, Cornell fell short in overtime to Princeton last Saturday as the Big Red looks to continue its dominance of Dartmouth by winning the last four meetings.

Revenge Spots Aplenty

The month of February is a great time to be a college basketball fan/bettor, as there is a month or so of conference play already in the rear view mirror, and battles between rivals for conference supremacy really get ramped up.

This Saturday we've got plenty of the nation's best teams looking for revenge against a conference rival, as these ranked squads look to either even up or sweep the season series with their respective foes. So let's touch on a few of these games that should see plenty of betting action come Saturday.

No. 19 Wisconsin at No. 7 Michigan – 12:00 p.m. ET

Michigan suffered their first loss of the year to the Badgers a few weeks back and likely haven't forgotten about it. The Wolverines closed as -3.5 favorites that day and will likely be laying a few more points than that here, and they'll need this one to try and further the distance between themselves and the rest of the Big 10. With Michigan winning the season series with trailing Purdue, and Michigan State stumbling as of late, knocking off the Badgers is a must here, as those three teams are really only the likely threats to the Wolverines going forward.

Wisconsin will feel confident coming into this one having already beaten the Wolverines, but I doubt their defense holds them down like they did in Madison. The 54 points Michigan put up that day was their fewest points scored in any game this year, and with Michigan's offense potentially getting back on track in a 77-65 win over Rutgers earlier this week, the task is going to be tough for the Badgers on Saturday.

Obviously, a lot depends on the point spread the oddsmakers put out here in trying to determine how many points feel like too many for Michigan to cover, but the home side is probably the only way to look here.

No. 5 Kentucky at No. 21 Mississippi State – 1:00 p.m. ET

Another home side looking for revenge in this spot, as the Bulldogs fell 76-55 to Kentucky on January 22nd. Similar to Michigan, the 55 points Mississippi State scored in that game was their fewest points scored all year, and with the Bulldogs averaging 85.7 points per home game this year, chances are we see a much better performance from Mississippi State on Saturday.

The Bulldogs will need to be at or near their best, as Kentucky has won nine in a row entering this game and look the part of that blue blood program that everyone expects them to be each year. But this is the beginning of a tough stretch for the Wildcats – LSU and Tennessee on deck – and their 5-1 ATS record on the road likely has some regression waiting for it soon.

Revenge may be tougher to come by for the home side in this game, at least in terms of the straight up outcome, but going 'over' the total could be the better place to look, especially if Mississippi State brings their A game at home with them.

Florida at No. 11 Tennessee – 4:00 p.m. ET

Another appearance for a SEC matchup here, although this time it's the visitors looking for redemption.

The Florida Gators have fallen on some hard times of late having lost three of four and sitting with a losing record (4-5 SU) in conference play, but one of the lasting images of this college basketball season so far was when this Tennessee squad beat the Gators (78-67) in the Swamp, and walked off the floor mockingly doing the “Gator Chomp.” Tennessee needed a 2nd half comeback to pull out the win, and this all happened prior to the Volunteers being installed as the top team in the country.

Without question, Tennessee will have significant chalk attached to their name for this game, and as long as it's a reasonably “fair” number, I believe you've got to take the points with the Gators. Situationally, Florida's players haven't forgotten about that disrespect they were shown, and with the struggles Florida's recently had, they may even be catching a few more points than they arguably should be in this spot.

There will be nothing sweeter for Gators fans than to be the team that goes into Knoxville and knocks Tennessee off their #1 perch, and halting the Volunteers 17-game winning streak as well. Winning outright may be a bit of a stretch for Florida, but they'd be the only point spread side I'd look towards.

No. 2 Duke at No. 3 Virginia – 6:00 p.m. ET

This is the big game on the board as it's Virginia in the revenge role after losing 72-70 to Duke a few weeks back. A #2 vs #3 game is always going to get boatloads of hype and this game – like the first one – is no different. And while I do expect the Cavaliers to find themselves in the favorite role (possibly pick'em), it's not the side I'd all that anxious to get involved with; it's the total.

The first game saw the total open up at 140/140.5 before basically a flood of early 'under' money pushed that number way down. The total spent most of the early morning that day bouncing back and forth between 137 and 139, before 'under' money continued to come in and have the total hold steady at 136 for basically the rest of the day. Just before tip, there was some late 'over' action on the 136, and thanks to a Virginia jumper with three seconds left in a four-point game, that bucket ended up cashing any and all 'over' tickets, as well as giving Virginia the cover.

But from a game flow perspective, the 'under' was the more correct side throughout the game, as there were 17 points scored in the final 1:09 of that game, as Virginia had to resort to playing the foul game to try and catch up. Those 17 points also included four missed free throws in that span, so the result could have ended up going 'over' with a little less sweat.

However, with the rematch coming on Virginia's floor this weekend and the Cavaliers likely being the ones able to dictate the pace more often, I do believe going low and grabbing that number early is the way to attack this game from a betting perspective.

Virginia is 1-3 O/U in conference home games this year, and only one team – the run-and-gun Marshall Thundering Herd - has put up more than 59 points on Virginia in any home game this year. Duke may be loaded with NBA-caliber talent, but this team still can't shoot from the outside, struggles from the charity stripe, and has been a great 'under' bet as it is all year (5-15 O/U).

If we see similar support for the 'under' like we saw in the first meeting, I believe those bettors will be able to head to the pay window this time, and it'll be one total I'm looking to jump on rather early.
