NBA | Hornets vs Magic
Play on: OVER 214½ -113

Orlando's defense has been much better in winning six of seven. Charlotte's defense is a guessing game. In the Hornets last eight outings, their opponents have either shot 48% or higher or less than 43%, with nothing in between. I'm going to side with the higher total with Charlotte 7-0 OVER in road games when playing with two days rest and the Magic 9-1 OVER after allowing 90 points or less.

NBA | Knicks vs Hawks
Play on: UNDER 225½ -107

1 Unit FREE PLAY on Knicks/Hawks UNDER 225.5
The Knicks are playing for a second straight day and won’t have much energy to get up and down the floor with the Hawks. Look for them to slow the tempo down and keep this a low scoring as possible. The last two meetings between these teams saw 219 and 221 combined points. I think we’re getting some value with the under tonight. The UNDER is 9-3 in Knicks last 12 games overall. They’ve only topped 225.5 combined points once in their last 12 games. New York is 10-2 UNDER when playing 6 or more games in 10 days this season. Atlanta is 24-8 UNDER as a favorite of 3.5 to 9.5 points over the last three seasons. The Hawks are 14-2 UNDER off an upset win as a home underdog over the last two seasons. Give me the UNDER.

NCAA-B | UAB vs Marshall
Play on: Marshall -4 -105 at BMaker

Don't miss ASA's 10* WEST COAST CONFERENCE GAME OF THE YEAR tonight! They are on a MONEY MAKING 69-47 run on College Hoops Top Plays and they add a BIG ONE on Thursday!
ASA CBB PLAY ON Marshall -4 over UAB, Thursday at 8 PM ET
Both of these teams come into this game with a 6-6 record. However, Marshall has played the #1 rated strength of schedule on conference play while UAB has played the 13th rated schedule. Both teams are sliding coming into this game with UAB losing 4 straight games and Marshall losing 6 of their last 7. While both teams are struggling, they have gotten to this point in much different ways. What we mean by that is, Marshall has played 5 of their last 7 on the road with 5 of those games coming vs the top 6 teams in CUSA. Also 2 of their losses during that stretch came in OT. UAB, on the other hand, has lost 4 in a row, with 3 of those coming at home. On top of that, 3 of those 4 losses have come vs the two lowest rated teams in the conference, Middle Tenn St (UAB lost twice) and Charlotte. So in other words, while the Herd was losing on the road for the most part vs top tier CUSA teams, UAB has been losing at home vs bottom tier CUSA teams. Let’s also remember before this rough stretch for Marshall, they began the conference season with a perfect 5-0 record. This is also a Marshall team that won the CUSA tourney last year and beat Wichita State in the NCAA tourney, a Shocker team that was 25-7 before losing to the Herd. Marshall has 4 starters back from that team including sharp shooter Jon Elmore who scored 42 points in their 2 NCAA tourney games and is averaging 20 PPG this season. They are now at home where they are 4-1 in CUSA play this year with their only loss coming in OT vs UTSA, a game Marshall led by double digits but blew the lead. UAB, on the other hand, is a terrible 9-25-1 ATS their last 35 road games and if they can’t beat the worst teams in the league at home as of late, how do they go on the road in beat Marshall? We don’t think they can and we’ll lay in the points with the host.

NBA | Thunder vs Pelicans
Play on: OVER 237½ -110

Take Over the Total in the game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the New Orleans Pelicans. The high Total set in the 230s is warranted between two teams that average 93 and 91 shots per game respectively. Oklahoma City (37-19) has won four straight games with their 120-111 win over Portland on Monday. The Thunder have played 6 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams with a losing record. OKC has also played 4 of their last 5 games Over the Total on the road. New Orleans (25-33) collapsed of offense on Tuesday in a 118-88 loss to Orlando as a 5-point favorite. The Pelicans have played 9 of their last 14 games Over the Total after a loss by at least 30 points. New Orleans has also played 8 of their last 11 games Over the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60%. Take the Over. Best of luck — Frank.

NCAA-B | Arizona vs Utah
Play on: Utah -3 -105 at BMaker

1* Free NCAAB Pick on Utah Utes -3
I really like the value here with the Utes laying a small number at home against the Wildcats. Utah comes into this one off back-to-back road wins over USC (77-70) and UCLA (93-92). The win over the Bruins came on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Parker Van Dyke. The Utes have won 6 of their last 8 to move into a tie for 2nd in the Pac-12.
They have been one of the best bets in the conference, as Utah is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games. There's no question they will be motivated for this one, as they lost a heartbreaker at Arizona 84-81 back in early January (did cover as 8-point dogs). As for the Wildcats, things have gone from bad to worse. Arizona has lost 5 straight and are now 5-6 in the Pac-12. It's hard to believe that they won't be playing in the NCAA Tournament, but their only hope at this point is to the win the Pac-12 Tournament in a few weeks.
Utes are 33-18 ATS last 51 at home after playing 2 straight games as an underdog, 28-11 ATS last 39 revenging a close loss of 3-points or less and a perfect 6-0 ATS last 6 when coming off an upset win as a road underdog. Take Utah!

NHL | Capitals vs Sharks
Play on: Capitals +155 at sportsbook

#NHL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The San Jose Sharks will enter this contest riding a six-game winning streak, but should they really be this big of a favorite over the defending Stanley Cup champions?
The Caps were going through a rough patch but have won three of their last four, and they've had plenty of time to make themselves at home here on the West Coast after defeating the Kings 6-4 at Staples Center Monday night.
The Capitals have no doubt had this game circled ever since taking a 7-6 OT loss to the Sharks on Jan. 22 (the win that started the Sharks current run), and I think the price is right to back the visitors here.
Free pick on Washington Capitals.
