NBA | 76ers vs Bulls
Play on: Bulls -3½ -105 at pinnacle

PICK - Chicago Bulls -3.5
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 514
I will gladly take my chances here with the Bulls laying only 3.5-points at home against a 76ers team that will be without their two best players in Joel Embiid and Ben Simmons, who are both in Quarantine. I'm shocked the public isn't lining up to back Chicago and driving this line up to 5-6 points.
The Bulls come in with a record of just 16-18, but some of that is a bit of bad luck. In their last 14 losses, 10 have come by 7 or fewer points. They won their last game before the break 128-124 at New Orleans and are 6-3 SU in their last 9 overall.
Chicago will also be getting a huge piece back in the rotation, as Lauri Markkanen is set to return from a lengthy absence that has kept him out since Feb. 5th. He's the Bulls No. 2 scorer at 19.1 ppg. They also will be getting back veteran reserve Otto Porter Jr, who has been out since Feb. 1.
I also think the Bulls will be the much more motivated team. Really hard for the 76ers to get up in their first game out of the break on the road without their two best players. Chicago on the other hand has to be looking to get this 2nd half started out strong and show just how good they can be. Give me the Bulls -3.5!

NBA | Wolves vs Pelicans
Play on: Pelicans -8 -110 at BetCris

1* NBA - Wolves/Pelicans *FREE PICK* on Pelicans -8
Today's free pick is on the New Orleans Pelicans -8 at home against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Perfect spot here to buy low on the Pelicans, who stumbled a little before the break, losing 4 of their last 5. This is still a really talented team and one that should come out of the break with one of their best efforts. If New Orleans shows up to play, it's hard to see them not winning by 10 or more. The Timberwolves are arguably the worst team in the league right now. They lost 9 straight and 13 of their last 14 before the break. The vast majority of those defeats were blowouts. There's just no way Minnesota's anemic offense can keep pace in this one. Bet the Pelicans -8!

NCAA-B | North Carolina vs Virginia Tech
Play on: Virginia Tech +4 -108 at Draft Kings

My free play is on Va Tech at 8:30 ET.
North Carolina's legendary head coach Roy Williams is coming off a 14-19 season in which North Carolina players lost 99 games to injury. However, while the Tar Heels opened No. 16 in the AP's preseason poll, the Tar Heels have NOT lived up to their preseason ranking. North Carolina ended the regular season 16-9 overall, including 10-6 in the ACC. However, the Tar Heels followed its season-final rout of Duke (91-73) by crushing Notre Dame 101-59 last night.
While North Carolina has been busy polishing its postseason resume, No. 22 Virginia Tech (15-5 / 9-4 in the ACC) hasn't played since an 84-46 home win over Wake Forest on Feb 28. In fact, the Hokies have only played TWO games since Feb 2. has been waiting idle. Va Tech head coach Mike Young is in his second season with the school, after a record-setting 17-year tenure as the head coach at Wofford. Young built the Terriers into one of the Southern Conference's preeminent programs and a perennial NCAA Tournament participant. He guided Wofford to five NCAA Tournament berths over his last 10 seasons and five Southern Conference championships. The Hokies were just 16-16 overall in Young's first season at Blacksburg, losing almost two-thirds of their ACC games (7-13), but despite fighting COVID-19 protocols, open the ACC tourney as the No. 3 seed.
Last year's super frosh Anthony lost time to injury last season (played 22 games) but averaged 18.5-5.7-4.0 for the Tar Heels but as expected was a "One and Done!" Also gone is senior guard Robinson and his 11.8 PPG for North Carolina. However, North Carolina's strength is its depth. SEVEN players are making contributions. Up front it's the 6-10 Bacot (12.0 & 7.8), the 6-10 Brooks (10.6 & 6.9) and the 6-11 Sharpe (9.8 & 7.9), while the backcourt goes four-deep. The group includes Love (10.6 & 3.8 APG), Davis (8.2), Walton (8.1) and Black (5.6 & 5.1). Bacot (20 & 13), Sharpe (14 & 10) and even Kessler (16 & 12) all had double-doubles vs Notre Dame (note: Kessler averages 4.6 & 3.2 on the season). However, Brooks (10.6 & 6.9) sat out Wednesday night's game, marking only the second game he has missed across 132 North Carolina games played while he has been on the roster.
Landers Nolley was selected to the ACC All-Freshman Team in leading the Hokies in scoring (15.5 PPG) last season but after the season he announced he was transferring to Memphis. More bad news came when the 6-6 Horne (7.6 & 4.2) also transferred. Sophomore guard Tyrece Radford (10.2 & 6.2) was both the team's leading returning scorer AND rebounder! Radford is averaging 11.4 & 6.1 and the 6-9 Alleyne (10.2) has made excellent progress in his sophomore season. Two 6-7 transfers start up front The 6-7 Keve Aluma (15.9 & 8.0) followed Young from Wofford and is Va Tech's best player this season, while 6-7 Delaware transfer Justyn Mutts (8.9 & 6.4) has been solid. Returning guards Cone (9.2) and Cottoor (8.5) have both been solid.
I'm not going to make too much of the Tar Heels' blowout win over a sub-.500 Notre Dame team (Irish shot 31.1%, including 7 of 26 on threes) and if not for Va Tech's 'forced' time off, would be all over the Hokies. That still, I'll still take Va Tech plus the points in this one.
Good luck...Larry
