NCAA-B | Texas vs West Virginia
Play on: West Virginia -8½ -109 at GTBets
My free play is on Texas at 7:00 ET.Bob Huggins became famous while coaching Cincinnati, leading the Bearcats to 16 straight postseason berths, including 14 straight NCAA bids. He was 'forced out' and after spending a year out of the coaching profession, accepted the head coaching job at Kansas State. It was a one-year 'pit stop' (23-12), as he returned to Morgantown (where he was born) to take the West Va job. As expected, he's led West Va to postseason berths in NINE of 12 seasons but is coming off just his second losing season with the Mountaineers, as they were just 15-21 in the 2018-19 season (4-14 in the Big 12 left them in last-place). However, this year's Mountaineers are 14-3 and ranked 12th, with anew AP poll coming out Monday afternoon.
The Mountaineers welcome Texas to Morgantown Monday night and the Longhorns check in at 12-5. Texas won last year's NIT but gone are big men Osetkowski (11.1 & 7.2) and Hayes (10.0 & 5.0), who was a one-and-done (8th overall pick of the 2019 draft by Atlanta). Guard Roach was suspended THREE different times in his stay at Austin but he ended his Texas career by being named the NIT's most outstanding player. Shaka Smart came to Texas with great fanfare, after a terrific run at VCU (Google it). However, his Texas teams have made just two NCAAs in his first four seasons at Austin, with both teams getting bounced in the first round. Last year's NIT title was 'nice,' but Smart was not hired to win NIT champion.
The Longhorns bounced back from two losses to open Big 12 play with wins over Kansas State and Oklahoma State, and they led Kansas by five at the half before dropping a 66-57 decision on Saturday. Texas is a guard-oriented team, as its top-four scorers are perimeter players. Matt Coleman III (12.0-3.5-4.3) leads the way, followed by Courtney Ramey (11.1-4.6-3.6), Andrew Jones (10-.4) and Jase Febres (10.1. The 6-9 Jericho Sims (9.7 & 8.1) is the team's lone big man of note and he posted a career-best 20 points on 9-of-14 shooting against Kansas. Shaka Smart continues to have his team playing tough defense,as Texas ranks 26th in allowing 61.2 PPG. However, the Longhorns are scoring a poor 66.5 PPG (297th)!
West Va relies on its starting-five, which includes guards McBride (10.2) and Haley (8.9 & 4.4) plus a frontcourt of the 6-9 Tshiebwe (11.6 & 9.4), the 6-10 Culver (10.6 & 9.3) and the 6-7 Matthews (7.2 & 4.1). Tshiebwe shoots 60.7 percent from the floor while McBride has reached double figures in eight straight games (14.1 points, 48.7 field-goal percentage). West Va turned the ball over 18 times on Saturday and NINE different players had at least one. The Mountaineers were plagued by turnovers, poor shooting and even worse defense according to coach Bob Huggins .
That said, West Va, is KNOWN for its defense. The Mountaineers are allowing 60.7 PPG (19th) on 36.2% shooting (4th), including 25.1% on threes (2nd). Texas does not have enough offense in this matchup plus West Va will surely remember losing BOTH games vs Texas last season. Lay it!
Good luck...Larry

NBA | Lakers vs Celtics
Play on: Celtics +3 -110 at Bovada
Jack’s Free Pick Monday: Boston Celtics +3
The Boston Celtics will be highly motivated for a win Monday night. They have lost three straight coming in and haven’t lost four in a row all season. They would love nothing more than to halt this losing streak against the rival Los Angeles Lakers tonight.
Both Jaylen Brown and Kemba Walker sat out last game with injuries. There’s a good chance that both return tonight. There’s also a good chance that the Lakers will be without Anthony Davis again. Plus, Rajon Rondo is questionable tonight.
The Celtics are 14-4 ATS vs. a team with a winning record this season. Boston is 12-3 ATS in its last 15 games as a home underdog. The Celtics are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog overall. The Lakers are 15-29 ATS in their last 44 vs. Eastern Conference opponents. Bet the Celtics Monday.

NBA | Nuggets vs Wolves
Play on: Wolves -2½ -110 at Mirage
Dave’s Monday Free Play:
1* on Minnesota Timberwolves -2.5 The Key: The Minnesota Timberwolves finally got Karl-Anthony Towns back two games ago and will be a much stronger team with him moving forward. They played both Indiana and Toronto to the wire in their first 2 games with him back. They now get to host a Denver Nuggets team playing for a 2nd consecutive night after losing at home to the Pacers 107-115 last night. That came after they escaped with an OT win against the awful Warriors their previous game. Injuries have taken their toll on the Nuggets as they have been without Murray, Harris and Millsap and likely will be without all 3 again tonight. Denver is 3-14 ATS in its last 17 road games against at team that wins 25% to 40% of their games. The Nuggets are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games playing on no rest. Take Minnesota.
