MARIST -6
ST. PETER'S @ MARIST | 2/22 | 7:00 PM EST
11:05 AM
No case can be made for St. Peter’s to win outright. The Peacocks have stumbled eight straight times and cannot score above the mid-60s. Away from home, they are 1-14. Marist has run down four consecutive opponents, covering in each. The Red Foxes have covered in six of the last eight meetings in their gym, and they return home on the wave of two outright road wins. A 1.5-point dip in the spread makes the half-dozen extra-enticing.

DENVER -5.5
DENVER @ DALLAS | 2/22 | 8:30 PM EST

Coming out of the All-Star break, young teams have been known to falter. The Nuggets will hope to avoid that trend, while also continuing to implement Isiah Thomas into their rotation. On Friday, they’ll take on a Dallas Mavericks team whose stout home record of 20-9 is influenced into the spread. Yet, look for the Nuggets balance to overwhelm the Mavericks.

CORNELL +7
CORNELL @ PRINCETON | 2/22 | 8:00 PM EST
2:22 PM
One of the more impressive non-conference wins this season came via Princeton. The Tigers defeated a ranked Arizona State team in Tempe as a double-digit underdog. In Ivy League play Friday,they’ll be attempting a season sweep over Cornell. A value indicator was their nine-point road win over the Big Red on Feb. 2. Grab Cornell in the rematch.

ST. PETER'S @ MARIST | 2/22 | 7:00 PM EST
2:20 PM
At the tail end of conference play, Marist has found its rhythm. The Red Foxes have won four straight overall, which include three road games. They’ll now return home to take on a St. Peter’s team they lost to by nine points in the first matchup. The string of losses for St. Peter’s has reached eight games. Grab the value Friday on St. Peter’s.
OVER 222.5
DETROIT @ ATLANTA | 2/22 | 7:30 PM EST
11:20 AM
The Pistons have lived on the Under, especially on the road. It's really the case when the total is where it is -- the Under is 8-1 when the O-U is between 221 and 224. But things have turned around lately -- the Over has hit in three straight Detroit games and has hit in seven of 11 Atlanta contests.

UTAH @ OKLAHOMA CITY | 2/22 | 9:30 PM EST
11:15 AM
On paper it's a clash of a top-five offense against a top-five defense. But the Over has hit in five of the last seven Utah games and five of eight for OKC. The simulations from my computer model average 10 points above the current total. The Over looks good.

ORLANDO -8.5
CHICAGO @ ORLANDO | 2/22 | 7:00 PM EST
3:44 PM
The Magic won the most recent meeting in Chicago by 28 points, back on Jan. 2. And Orlando comes in red-hot, having won five straight (5-0 ATS) and seven of eight. The Bulls also had a nice victory before the break, but they're just 2-8 ATS coming off a straight-up win. Lay it as Orlando covers its sixth straight.

L.A. CLIPPERS @ MEMPHIS | 2/22 | 8:00 PM EST
3:37 PM
The Clippers' last three games have generated 241, 250 and 235 points. Even with Memphis preferring a slower pace, I still think there's value going Over.

CHARLOTTE -5
WASHINGTON @ CHARLOTTE | 2/22 | 7:00 PM EST
3:36 PM
The Hornets are 19-9 at home and eager to erase the bad taste from their humiliation at Orlando just before the break. This series has been dominated by the home team (6-1 ATS last seven meetings). Look for that to continue Friday night.
