Saturday's Top Action
Tom Wilkinson

Everyone has just assumed that the Golden State Warriors will win the Western Conference and roll to another NBA title. If you look at the current standings you might be surprised to see that Golden State is just barely in front of Denver for the best record in the West.

The Warriors have looked vulnerable lately and they face a difficult road test at the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday night in a game that can be seen on ABC. Let’s look at Saturday’s game and NBA picks.

Golden State Warriors at Philadelphia 76ers
Date and Time: Saturday, March 2, 2019, 8:30 p.m. ET
Location: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, PA
NBA Odds: TBA
Warriors vs. 76ers TV Coverage: ABC

The Warriors are wrapping up a four-game road trip on Saturday night. Golden State started with a win in Charlotte, but then they were shocked by Dwyane Wade and the Heat on Wednesday. Golden State then had to face the Orlando Magic on Thursday. The Warriors are just 14-16 ATS on the road, with 19 games going over and 11 going under. They are averaging 118.9 points per game but giving up just over 112 per contest. Stephen Curry leads the team in scoring at just over 27 points per game.

Golden State is not in a great spot on Saturday, as this will be their third game in four days, but at least they did have Friday off. Golden State is without a doubt the best team in the NBA but their intensity level has been very inconsistent lately. The Warriors realize they are the best team in the NBA and they don’t always give a full effort for 48 minutes.

Philadelphia has the looks of a team that can compete with Golden State, but only if they are healthy. The 76ers have been without All-Star center Joel Embiid of late and his status for Saturday is up in the air. It was thought he would be ready for this game, but we haven’t had any recent updates. His backup, Boban Marjanovic is also injured. Embiid has been rehabbing his sore left knee, while Marjanovic has a bone bruise and a sprained right knee. He will not play on Saturday.

Philadelphia is 16-16 ATS at home this season, with 17 games going over the total and 15 going under. They are averaging 115.7 points per game and giving up just over 112 per contest.

Key Stats

Philadelphia broke a 10-game losing streak against Golden State by winning 113-104 in January. The 76ers were 8-point road underdogs in that contest that easily went under the total. The 76ers are 7-3 ATS in the last ten meetings against the Warriors and seven of the ten went under the total. The teams have split their last ten games in Philadelphia, but the 76ers have been an excellent bet, going 9-1 ATS. Six of those ten went under the total.

Saturday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Warriors at 76ers – 8:30 PM EST

Golden State (43-19 SU, 25-36-1 ATS) finishes off its four-game road trip which started with promise in Monday’s victory at Charlotte. However, the Warriors fell at the buzzer on Wednesday in Miami, followed by a late meltdown at Orlando the next night.

Kevin Durant didn’t suit up on Thursday, as the Warriors overcame an eight-point halftime deficit by outscoring the Magic, 30-11 in the third quarter. Orlando cruised past the two-time defending champions in the fourth quarter, 33-15 to shock the Warriors, 103-96. Steve Kerr’s squad shot 9-of-40 from three-point range, while getting held to its lowest point total since scoring 93 in a 20-point home loss to Toronto in December.

Now, Golden State will try to salvage the trip in Philadelphia against a 76ers’ (40-22 SU, 29-33 ATS) that snapped a 19-game losing streak to Oklahoma City dating back to 2008 in Thursday’s 108-104 road triumph. Philadelphia completed a perfect 2-0 road trip after beating New Orleans on the first stop, as the Sixers built an 11-point halftime edge before OKC made it interesting in the final minute. Tobias Harris paced Philadelphia with 32 points on 11-of-17 shooting, while drilling 5-of-7 three-point attempts.

The Warriors have covered only once in their last nine games, while losing consecutive road contests for the first time since late November/early December at Toronto and Detroit. Philadelphia halted a 10-game slide to Golden State on January 31 at Oracle Arena in a 113-104 victory as eight-point underdogs. The game easily finished UNDER the total of 240 ½, as the two teams combined for 36 fourth quarter points. Stephen Curry lit up the Sixers from downtown by knocking down 10 three-pointers and scored 41 points in Golden State’s first loss to Philadelphia since 2013.

Third Time Around

The Thunder and Spurs have gone through plenty of playoff battles that have gone both team’s ways. Oklahoma City (38-23 SU, 33-28 ATS) dropped its third consecutive game in Thursday’s 108-104 setback to Philadelphia. The Thunder played without leading scorer Paul George, who missed only his second contest of the season due to a sore right shoulder. Russell Westbrook posted another triple-double with 23 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists, but the former MVP shot 8-of-24 from the floor, including hitting only 1-of-9 attempts from three-point range.

San Antonio (34-29 SU, 33-29-1 ATS) rebounded from a dreadful rodeo road trip in which it finished 1-7 as the Spurs took care of the Pistons at home, 105-93 as 4 ½-point favorites on Wednesday. The Spurs held their first opponent to below 100 points since limiting Memphis to 96 points on January 9 as Gregg Popovich’s squad allowed Detroit to shoot 36% from the floor. Six Spurs scored in double-figures in Wednesday, led by 24 points from LaMarcus Aldridge as San Antonio improved to 23-7 at AT&T Center.

OKC has failed to cash in five straight games, while finishing UNDER the total in the last three games with totals of 240, 238, and 239. The Thunder and Spurs eclipsed the OVER in each of the first two matchups, including in a 154-147 double-overtime setback at San Antonio on January 10 as Oklahoma City erased a 12-point deficit to force the game past regulation. Aldridge torched the Thunder for 56 points that night, while converting 20 field goals and 16 free throws.

The Thunder captured the second matchup two nights later at Chesapeake Energy Arena, 122-112 as six-point favorites. OKC overcame a nine-point halftime deficit to outscore San Antonio, 71-52 in the second half, while marking the ninth win by the home team in the last 10 meetings.

Deer Crossing

The Bucks (48-14 SU, 36-23-3 ATS) continue a five-game road swing in Utah as Milwaukee heads to Salt Lake City following Friday’s victory against the Lakers in Los Angeles. Milwaukee won in the first two stops at Chicago and Sacramento, as the Bucks edged the Kings in overtime on Wednesday, 141-140 in spite of blowing a 13-point lead heading into the fourth quarter.

The Jazz (35-26 SU, 32-27-2 ATS) seek their fourth consecutive win after holding off the Nuggets on Thursday, 111-104 to cash as 7 ½-point underdogs. Not only did the Jazz snap a five-game skid at Pepsi Center, but Utah improved to 6-5 SU and 5-6 ATS with no rest this season. Utah overcame a slow start as the Jazz outscored the Nuggets, 33-15 in the second quarter to grab control, while picking up its first road win since January 27 at Minnesota.

Milwaukee pulled away from Utah in its first matchup at Fiserv Forum on January 7 as five-point favorites in a 114-102 win. The Bucks outscored the Jazz, 31-16 in the fourth quarter, while Giannis Antetokounmpo put together a 30-point, 10-rebound performance in the victory for Milwaukee. The Jazz have had their way with the Bucks in Salt Lake City over the years by winning 16 consecutive home meetings, while Milwaukee has cracked the 100-point mark only once in this stretch, which came last season.

Long Hike

The Nuggets (42-19 SU, 33-28 ATS) dropped only their fifth home game in 32 tries at Pepsi Center in Thursday’s flat effort in a 111-104 setback to Utah. Denver had won five consecutive contests prior to that loss, but the Nuggets still hold the top spot in the Northwest division, while suffering their first loss as a home favorite since November 13 against Houston.

Denver welcomes in New Orleans, as the Pelicans (28-36 SU, 31-32-1 ATS) ended a brief two-game skid by beating the hapless Suns, 130-116 on Friday. The Pelicans shared the scoring load as Julius Randle led New Orleans with 22 points, while Jrue Holiday posted 21 points and Anthony Davis scored 17 points in 21 minutes of action. New Orleans picked up its fourth road win in the last nine tries, while the Pelicans grabbed their third straight victory in the role of a favorite.

Now, the Pelicans are flipped to a heavy underdog, but that has not affected this team negatively. New Orleans has stepped up to the plate by covering in six of seven opportunities as an underdog of eight points or more. Denver has captured two of the first three matchups this season with New Orleans, but the Pelicans have managed to cover in all three games as an underdog.

Weekend Watch

Ranked Teams Dealing With Potential Slip Up Spots This Weekend

As the conference races across the country started to reach a boil last week, it's now or never for some teams as the regular season hits its final days. And while most of the smaller conferences will begin their conference tournaments early next week, it's the Power 5 programs that still have another weekend of regular season action to deal with.

That final week and weekend is all about rivalries for schools, meaning that this week's game has a lot of potential landmines for teams to navigate first. Saturday alone has 21 of the Top 25 teams in action, and nearly half of them (10) are out on the road somewhere. Only one of those games in total has a ranked vs ranked going at it (Kentucky vs Tennessee), which means there are plenty other ranked squads not exactly in the best role this weekend. Chances are at least a few of them slip up, so let's try and break down who that will be.

Look to the Big 12 for potential upsets first

Of all the ranked teams in action on Saturday, four of them come from the Big 12, and all four could be looking at tougher than expected games when you break it all down. Ranked Kansas, Texas Tech, and Iowa State teams are all on the road against Oklahoma State, TCU, and Texas respectively. All three of those games could be ones where backing the home side ends up being the profitable side.

Everyone knows about the Jayhawks struggles on the road all year long, and for as bad as OK State has looked for the majority of the year, you can't put it past that program to show up and play a bit over their heads for 40 minutes in a spot like this. Kansas is dealing with that pressure of keeping that 14-year streak alive of finishing atop the Big 12 conference, and with nothing to play for other than pride, the Cowboys could thrive in this role.

TCU and Texas may be worthy of being in “Play on” spots as well as a big home win over a ranked foe would do wonders for both of those respective resumes. With both sides having lost the first meeting against their respective foe, TCU and Texas also have the revenge narrative on their side here, and it would not surprise me at all to see at least one of them come away with a SU win on Saturday.

1st place showdown in the Mountain West

A ranked Nevada team is out on the road as well this weekend as they visit Utah State in what is essentially a conference championship game. Utah State sits just a half-game behind the Wolf Pack in the Mountain West standings, and with Nevada owning a 23-point win from the first meeting, all the chips have to get pushed into the middle here if you are Utah State.

Both of Nevada's stumbles in Mountain West play have come on the road (losses to New Mexico and San Diego State), and this spot looks to be one where we could see the Wolf Pack stumble again.

Utah State is far from the same team that got smoked in Nevada back in early January, as they've gone 13-2 SU since that game and have currently won 12 of their last 13 overall. At home since that loss, Utah State has gone 7-1 SU, with a point per game differential coming in at +15.9 during that span. The Aggies have also gone 2-0 SU in terms of getting revenge on Mountain West rivals that have already beaten them earlier this year, and to make it three straight with a win over Nevada while vaulting themselves into a share of 1st place in the conference, is probably all the motivation this Utah State team needs on Saturday.

Calipari doesn't expect Travis to play

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Kentucky coach John Calipari would love to have Reid Travis hounding players at Tennessee on Saturday, but he suspects that won't be the case.

Travis sprained his right knee in a victory over Missouri on Feb. 19 and hasn't played since. His defense on Southeastern Conference scoring leader Grant Williams played a large role in Kentucky's 86-69 triumph over Tennessee at Rupp Arena two weeks ago.

''We're going to see what he does today and tomorrow, but I doubt it,'' Calipari said Friday. ''What kids try to do is convince you that they can do this. My whole thing is this is about the long season, not the short season. This will be a hard game whether he plays or not.''

No. 7 Tennessee doesn't expect any less of a test in its rematch with No. 4 Kentucky just because the Wildcats likely won't be playing at full strength. The Volunteers lost 82-80 in overtime last week to No. 13 LSU when Javonte Smart replaced the ailing Tremont Waters and scored a career-high 29 points.

''When you lose a player or you're down a player, someone steps up,'' Tennessee coach Rick Barnes said. ''We saw that firsthand at LSU. That's what you expect, regardless of who you play.''

Kentucky (24-4, 13-2), Tennessee (25-3, 13-2) and LSU (23-5, 13-2) are in a three-way tie for first place in the league standings. LSU has the tiebreaker advantage in regard to SEC Tournament seeding because it went 2-0 against Kentucky and Tennessee.

That makes Saturday's Kentucky-Tennessee matchup crucial for both teams.

''The good news for us is they have as much to lose as we do,'' Calipari said. ''It's always nice every once in a while - maybe three times a year - to have a game like that, where the other team has as much to lose as you do. We play games where the other team has nothing to lose.''

Calipari said Friday that Travis - a Stanford graduate transfer - was ''unbelievable keeping an eye on Williams'' during the first Kentucky-Tennessee matchup. Williams scored 16 points by getting to the foul line, but he had just four field-goal attempts.

Kentucky also outrebounded Tennessee 39-26 that night while stopping the Vols' school-record 19-game winning streak.

''I do think they were more physical, no question about that,'' Barnes said. ''I think our guys know that. We just have to play harder than we played (at Kentucky). I think everyone knows that.''

The Wildcats have won their first two games without Travis but needed to rally from a 15-point deficit Tuesday to eke out a 70-66 home victory over Arkansas. EJ Montgomery has replaced Travis in the starting lineup while Nick Richards has provided a spark off the bench.

''We know (Tennessee's) going to come out fighting and try to hit us first,'' Kentucky guard Ashton Hagans said. ''We just can't let that happen. We're down a big, and EJ and Nick are going to have to step up. When they give us something, we're just going to have to feed off that.''

Tennessee doesn't face the same kind of health issues beyond what Barnes termed as ''just minor things that you have this time of year with a couple different guys.'' Starting forward Kyle Alexander played just 11 minutes in a 73-71 victory over Mississippi on Wednesday after testing positive for the flu a couple of days earlier.

But the Vols' biggest edge Saturday involves the site. Tennessee has won 24 straight at home and has beaten Kentucky in this building each of the last three seasons. This will be the first regular-season matchup between two top-10 men's teams at Thompson-Boling Arena since it opened in 1987.

Calipari likened the challenge of playing at Tennessee to the one an opponent faces at Rupp Arena. He added that the Vols' visit to Kentucky suggested that this year's trip to Knoxville could be particularly troublesome.

''I've been here 10 years, and the Tennessee game is the first game I can ever remember seeing the opponents' fans in our building,'' Calipari said. ''I saw orange. I was like, `What in the world?' And those tickets were expensive. It must mean they've got very wealthy fans, I have no idea. But they were there. (That) really means that they're into this basketball team, they're into their coach, they're into their players.''

Ohio State suspends top scorer Wesson

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio State has suspended leading scorer Kaleb Wesson indefinitely for violating an athletic department policy the school did not specify.

Ohio State did not say when the 6-foot-9, 270-pound sophomore could return, only that he will play again this season. The action by coach Chris Holtmann was announced Friday.

Wessen is averaging 14.6 points per game for the Buckeyes (18-10, 8-9 Big Ten) and is their top rebounder with 6.7 per game average.

The Buckeyes have three regular-season games remaining, including at No. 14 Purdue on Saturday. Wesson had 18 points in Ohio State's 90-70 win over Iowa on Tuesday.

Tigers a tough out on the road, and this weekend's NCAA basketball analysis
Monty Andrews

LSU bettors know that the Tigers bring out their best against tough competition – and that's exactly what Saturday's game represents as they take on the Alabama Crimson Tide in a pivotal SEC encounter. The stakes are getting higher across the NCAA basketball scene heading into the first weekend of March, with a packed schedule that features Kentucky and Tennessee looking at another low-scoring affair, and North Carolina continuing to be a major problem for home teams. Here are the top matchups, trends and betting tips to monitor with March Madness just around the corner:

Tigers a Tough Out

A hard-fought 82-80 overtime win over Tennessee has the LSU Tigers looking at a high seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament – and even facing a difficult road showdown with the Crimson Tide, bettors are likely to flock to the visitors in this one. Not only has LSU gone an impressive 7-1 SU in eight true road games so far in 2018-19, they're an identical 7-1 ATS in those contests while going a perfect 7-0 against the spread in their last seven road games vs. teams with home win rates above 60 percent. That said, LSU has covered just once in the previous seven meetings between the SEC rivals.

Points at a Premium?

Some shaky defensive showings have the Tennessee Volunteers teetering on the brink of falling out of the top 10 – so you can expect a more concerted effort on D as they host the Kentucky Wildcats in the biggest matchup of the weekend. Saturday's game represents a shot at redemption for the Vols after they were routed 86-69 at Kentucky on Feb. 16. Yet, while that game cashed the over, these teams have long trended toward the under, having gone 5-13-2 O/U in their previous 20 meetings. The Wildcats are 7-1 to the under in their last eight, while Tennessee is 5-1 to the under in its past six at home.

An Unwelcome Visitor

Winning consistently in hostile territory is often what separates good college teams from great ones – and if that's truly the case, then the North Carolina Tar Heels have to be considered one of the top teams in the country. The Tar Heels carry a profitable road record into Saturday's showdown with the host Clemson Tigers as they look to improve to 10-1 SU in games away from Dean E. Smith Center. North Carolina has covered 10 of its previous 11 road games overall and is 7-0 ATS in its last seven vs. teams with records above .500 at home. it's also 8-2-1 ATS in its last 11 vs. the Tigers.

Creaky Creighton

Fans and bettors are treated to closely-contested games whenever Creighton and Marquette are involved – and unfortunately for the Bluejays, the last handful of encounters haven't gone their way as the Big East rivals square off Sunday night. The host Golden Eagles have won six consecutive meetings between the teams and have successfully covered all six, with each contest decided by eight or fewer points. The programs have also lit up the scoreboard in recent seasons, going over in five straight meetings – including a wild 106-104 Marquette victory in their previous showdown Jan. 9.

Mid-Major to Watch

UNC Greensboro Spartans (25-5 SU, 12-15-1 ATS, 12-15 O/U)

The Spartans have had an interesting season – wildly successful when it comes to winning games despite not doing anything at an elite level. And yet, UNC Greensboro finds itself well-positioned to challenge for the Southern Conference title after rebounding from back-to-back losses with a three-game winning streak during which it averaged a robust 79.7 points. And they'll need that kind of offensive outburst if they hope to make waves come tournament time.

The Spartans are a top-75 team in points per game (77.0) while ranking 84th in points allowed (68.0), but do have weaknesses that superior teams have exploited. For one, they allow opponents to shoot nearly 36 percent from beyond the arc, which ranks 266th in Division I. They're also below average both at the free-throw line (69.6 percent, 204th) and on the boards (34.6 rebounds per game, 226th), and could run into trouble against strong rebounding clubs.

National Title Odds

Of all the elite teams in action this weekend, the Wildcats might just have the most to gain from a national title odds perspective. Kentucky currently sits fourth in the odds table at +1,100 to win the title, behind only Duke (+240), Gonzaga (+750) and Virginia (+950). Tennessee could also move up in the pecking order with a win; the Vols are at +1,400.

Betting Trends

Road favorites continue to take a bath as we near conference tournament time, with home underdogs going a sizzling 52-41-2 ATS over the previous seven days. Those looking for an edge between road underdogs and home favorites are disappointed yet again, with both sides having posted identical 110-110-5 ATS marks over the past week.

Non-overtime games remain great under plays, converting at a 56.7-percent clip over the last week's worth of games. Only a 23-2 O/U mark in OT games allowed the over to produce a less-dismal 47.1-percent conversion rate for the seven-day period. Unders remain the superior play for the season, connecting 51.9 percent of the time to date.

Only five teams have reached the 20-cover plateau as we enter the final month of the season. Virginia and Michigan State are the most notable teams to have covered 20 or more times through Thursday's games, with the Cavaliers at 20-7 ATS (second overall) and the Spartans at 20-8 (fifth). Drake (20-6-2), Texas Rio Grande Valley (20-8-1) and Mississippi (20-8) are the others.
