4 Unit Play. #559 Take Florida State +7 ½ over Miami (7:30 pm) This is just too many points to be giving in this battle of Florida tonight at Bank United Center. The Noles are 7-1 in games away from Tallassee and Miami already has lost two home games this season. This will go down to the wire and getting the points is the only side to consider.



5 Unit Play. #581 Take Wisconsin -2 ½ over Iowa (8:30 pm Big 10 Network) The Badgers have had five days to think about their home loss to Minnesota and expect them to come back strong tonight Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Wisconsin has won the last three meetings and Iowa has not beaten anybody good this season. Their lone conference win has come against Indiana, the worst team in the Big 10. Wisconsin struggling against athletes and Iowa is just a poor man’s version of the Badgers and cannot score enough points to consistently win conference games. They will struggle to reach fifty points and Bucky gets it done on the road.



4 Unit Play. #588 Take Oklahoma State -1 ½ over Missouri (9:00 pm Big 12 Network) The Cowboys cashed in for us on Saturday and they continue to get undervalued by the odds makers and we will ride them tonight at Gallagher-Iba Arena. This is a classic battle of good defense vs. good offense but we will side with the offense since the Cowboys are playing at home. This is only the third true road game the Tigers have played this season and Ok State is 9-0 at home. They want to get that sting of the Baylor loss out of their system and they will take care of business at home against a quality opponent.

Lenny Del Genio | NBA Total Double-Dime Bet
512 NOH / 511 NJN Over 188.5 BetUS
Analysis:
20* Play Over New Jersey/New Orleans at 8:05 ET. Lenny spent years working on an NBA "totals system" and began using it in January ?07 on the net, with great success. It's based on numerous factors, some of them listed here. Anticipated pace and style of both teams' play. Days of rest for teams or lack of it. Number of points scored by starters as compared to subs in recent outings (plus season-long averages). It also factors in point and rebounding differentials of the two teams. With all these factors (and many more), it's not possible to provide Lenny's "typical analysis" with his NBA totals selections. However, after the last two year's success, he anticipates another banner year. Play are rated 10* (Game of Day), 15* (Game of Week), 20* (Game of Month) and some rare 25* plays. Good luck. Over New Jersey/New Orleans is our 20* Non-Conf Total of the Month.

504 MIA 5.5 (-110) BetUS vs 503 BOS
Analysis:
Play on Miami at 7:35 ET. Even if Paul Pierce plays here, we like the Heat as a home dog. Miami has been off since Sunday, so getting a chance to knock off the defending World Champions is something they?ve had their eyes on for days now. And following that record-setting 27-2 SU start, we have begun to see the Celtics struggle as they continue to receive every team?s best shot, night in, night out. Even riding a current five-game win streak, Boston is just a .500 team STRAIGHT UP since Christmas Day. The Heat are playing with quadruple revenge from last season, including a pair of humiliating losses late in the year by 26 (in Boston, were +23!) and 30 (at home). For the Celtics, this matchup is sort of like facing Cleveland, who just beat them. Yes, they may have the ?Big Three? but the Heat will have the best player on the floor in Dwyane Wade. Take Miami.

508 NYK 5.0 (-110) BetUS vs 507 PHO
Analysis:
Play on New York at 7:35 ET. Facing his old team in his new home, Knicks HC Mike D?Antoni will want this game BADLY. Sure, he earned a cover against the Suns in the first go-around last month, but that was as an 8.5-point dog in an eight point loss. Beating Phoenix outright would be much more satisfying. New York gets a great chance to do so as this will be the Suns third road game in four nights and they were humiliated by Boston last time out. Terry Porter?s team is just 1-8 ATS this season when playing for the 3rd time in four nights. Phoenix has covered in just 3 of their last 16 games overall and is back to playing lousy defense by allowing its last eight opponents to score triple-digits. The Knicks aren?t great, but they can definitely score. Proving that they don?t perform well against high-scoring teams is Phoenix?s 7-19 ATS mark when the total is 200 or greater. Overall, the Suns are one of the worst pointspread teams in the league at 13-25. Take New York.

518 SAC -3.5 (-110) BetUS vs 517 WAS
Analysis:
Play on Sacramento at 10:05 ET. This is hardly a preview of the NBA Finals, however, we think it?s a great opportunity to play on the Kings as it represents one of the few opportunities for them to impress the home folks. Sacramento scored ?just? 99 points last night. Before that they had scored triple-digits in five straight. Washington has lost 17 of 18 times when surrendering 100+ points, including a 21-point loss to Golden State two nights ago. The Wizards are 1-9 ATS when favored by or receiving less than three points from the oddsmaker. They have lost 17 of 19 road games this season. Like the other teams we are playing in this Trifecta, our side is playing with revenge. In this case, the Wizards have swept the last three season series. But, they are 0-6 ATS as a road dog of six points or less and 3-10 ATS coming off a DD loss. Take Sacramento.

4 Unit Play. #538. Take South Carolina -1 over Florida (Wednesday @ 7pm est).

Golden Week in College Ball (7 in a row)

4 Straight winning weeks of NBA.
10-4 (71%) Last week in Hoops.
3-1 Hoops this week.
+51 Units in January Hoops.

Tuesday: Illinois -7.5 over Ohio State (W)
Monday: Pittsburgh -9 over 'Cuse (W)

Saturday: Illinois +7.5 over Ohio State (W)
Friday: Yale +4 over Brown (Outright W)
Thursday: Marist +8.5 over Siena (W)
Wednesday: Illinois -7 over Michigan (W)

This is an upset in the making today. Why do we think that South Carolina can't get it done over Florida today? Are the Gators that all mighty? I don't think so. Yes, they are 16-2. Sure, this team beat Arkansas - at home. But, this team is a very young team that is going on the highway to play another conference foe. How has Florida done on the road? Well, how about lose to FSU on the highway and barely defeat Auburn on the road. This is a huge game for South Carolina. This team comes back home after back to back road losses to the likes of Tennessee (who they made a massive comeback against in the second half) and a road loss to LSU as well. South Carolina went toe to toe with Clemson at home, is a top 65 team, beat a top 40 team in Baylor Outright on the road and are quite capable of winning Outright at home coming off two conference road losses. You don't think the Gamecocks are going to be fired up for this game? They fell short against Florida last year, UF comes off a big win against Arkansas and are primed for a likely let down here, South Carolina is desperate for a home win, has revenge, Florida is a young team on the road and if South Carolina can start this game off strong, they will carry the day here. Let me ask you something. Why do you think the line is South Carolina is -1 at home and yet 72% of the public is hovering the jock strap of the Gators on the highway here? The line has not budged. The line will not budge. This is because the Gamecocks are in a prime spot to be very game here and should do well here tonight. The Gamecocks are 4-0 ATS following a Straight up loss. The Gators are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 contests against SEC Schools.

4 Unit Play. Take Over 222 between Oklahoma City @ Golden State Warriors (Wednesday @ 10:30pm est). We are going to be rooting for a lot of fireworks, a lot of fouls and a lot of free throws today. I like the over today as these two teams have history. For starters, they faced each other twice this year as both games were in OKC. The first contest, the Warriors came in and without Jackson or Maggattee shocked OKC by winning 112-102. The next time around, the Thunder were ready and awaiting the Warriors defeating them 107-100 in a game they were actually underdogs by 2 points on their home floor. Let's not forget that Oklahoma City is one of the best ATS teams this year at 27-15 ATS. I point that out to show that this team comes off a disappointing loss to Miami 94-104. This team faced a Miami team that is one of the better defensive teams in the league and they shot just a terrible 4-13 from 3 point land in that game while Miami shot 11-21 from behind the arc. So, what you are getting is an OKC team that is coming off a tough loss and now heads on the road to Golden State looking to bounce-back. In that same token, GS is looking forward to facing OKC with revenge from their last loss and they have a firm belief they can defeat anyone at home. After all, this team defeated the Celtics, Hawks and Pacers at home. It seems just when, one of their key players goes down, another one returns. The Crawford trade was great for this team as Harrington was nothing but a poison keeping this team down. Even in their last game, Crawford put up 28 points as he fits in great with Nelson's system, Jackson put up 26, Maggette put up 16 and this team shot 22 free throws. In fact, if you take a look at the last series of games for GS they have scored 119 against Washington, 119 against Atlanta, 105 against Sacramento (prior to overtime - Sac had revenge in that game I believe though), 120 against Indiana, 106 against the Lakers and 117 against the Raptors. When this team plays up and down teams, such as Indiana or Washington, they have put up at least 119. I expect them to put up the same here as they have revenge on top of that. In short, I expect the Warriors to put up 120 at least, combine that with the fact, I expect at least a 110 effort from OKC on the bounce-back and to shoot much better than their last contest against Miami, I have this game going over 230 and we will ride the over. The Over is 11-1 when the Thunder are dogs by this margin on the road and the over is 5-0 when the Warriors are favored by this margin on the road.

Stan Sharp

Analysis: Stan is Betting MISSOURI today. Stan notes that we are getting great line value here because OKLAHOMA ST took Baylor to the limit on Saturday in a High Scoring affair losing in Overtime. The fact is Oklahoma St comes up flat tonight as Missouri rolls big. Missouri is a much better team. Stan has MISSOURI winning tonight by 7-10 points. TAKE MISSOURI as STAN SHARP'S BASKETBALL MISMATCH OF THE WEEK and make them a DOUBLE DIME PLAY.
