Game: (527) Phoenix Suns at (528) Los Angeles Lakers
Date/Time: Mar 2 2021 10:05 PM EST
Betting Line Provider: Consensus Line
Play Rating: 4%
Play: Total Under 213.5
Play: Under 213.5
Analysis: The Lakers have been a strong under team so far this and have gone under in six of their last seven games. The Suns have been a strong under team on the road as they are 10-4-2 to the under this season, including their last two.The Lakers and Suns are the two slowest paced teams in the league in their last five games and the Lakers have the fourth worst offensive rating in that same timeframe. When it comes to defense, both teams are in the top five in defensive rating this season.There is no question the Lakers have been struggling offensively without Anthony Davis, they average nearly four points less per game without him. The Suns average four points less per game on the road while maintaining their defensive efficiency.I am expecting a slow paced, defensive game between these two high level teams. I think the total is inflated just a bit due to both teams scoring over 115 in each of their previous games, I have this game closer to 212.

Play: Milwaukee Bucks -6.5 (-110)
Play: Milwaukee Bucks -6.5
The Bucks are in a favorable spot despite an emotional Sunday afternoon win over the Clippers. Milwaukee defeated a quality opponent, executing well to make crucial plays down the stretch in posting a comeback win over L.A. Considering Jrue Holiday was just returning from a COVID hiatus and was noticeably rusty, having him out on the floor to make winning plays as he managed to provide a huge boost. Denver won on Monday night in comeback fashion too, overcoming the Bulls in a physical game in which Nikola Jokic was masterful but was forced to play nearly 39 minutes. The Nuggets are extremely depleted and should run out of gas after an initial surge since a bench made up of guard P.J. Dozier and big forwards Zeke Nnaji, Vlatko Cancar and Isaiah Hartenstein won’t offer much help. Denver led 62-59 at Ball Arena when these teams played on and Jokic finished with 35 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, but visiting Milwaukee was able to find itself in outscoring the Nuggets 66-50 in the second half to coast 125-112. I look for the Bucks to similarly handle business at Fiserv Forum, pulling away in the fourth to win and cover. Lay the points with a Bucks as a 4% play.

Texas -11.5 over Iowa State
Iowa State had a tough year. This is a basketball team that has talented shooters, but they just have been really bad this year. This offense is bad and the defense is equally as bad. This team can?t get rebounds and can?t create second chance points. Steve Prohm is a good coach, but he and his squad under performed this year. The Cyclones brought in a lot of transfers and they just didn?t mesh. Texas is an experienced team and over the course of 40 minutes should run away with a double digit victory as they are better in just about every area of the game. Take Texas.

Boise State -13.5 over Fresno State
Fresno is a tough team that can play with any slow paced like team, but Boise is not one of those teams. The Broncos lead the conference is scoring and this battle comes down to Fresno simply not being good enough on offense and their defense only being able to hold on for so long until the flood gates open and they are down big. Boise is a veteran team without a lot of flaws. Boise is a great three point shooting team and they are above average in every area on the court. Take Boise State.

Wright State -13.5 over Milwaukee
Wright State won both games this year and in both cases got out to big half time leads and then just coasted in the second half to not cover the big spread. This is a playoff game so I don?t expect the Raiders to take their foot off the gas. Milwaukee is a talented team, but their defense is not good and they can?t stop the 3 ball. Wright State is a great offensive and defensive team that should put together two great halves on basketball instead of just one. Take Wright State.
