30 DIMER - BAYLOR BEARS.....10 DIMER - PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
30 DIMER - BAYLOR BEARS



While the Aztecs were enjoying the "home cooking" for ALL 3 of their NIT wins, the last a lucky one at that against St. Mary's, the Bears had to win their last pair of games at Virginia Tech on an early Saturday morning, and at Auburn which not too many SEC teams were able to do during the regular season.



This Bears team has that look in their eyes as if they are going all the way this week at Madison Square Garden, and the G-Man no longer doubts them after they burned me against Auburn last week.



Plenty of senior leadership on this Baylor team, and I don't think they will be stopped in this semifinal matchup against San Diego State.



This one is priced near a pick, and I just don't think it is going to be that close at all.



Baylor moves on to Thursday's final.



10 DIMER - PHILADELPHIA 76ERS



Possible first round playoff preview, and while the Sixers come into this one off losses in their last pair, I am going to back them against an Atlanta that is playing just their 2nd road game since March the 6th!!!!



How can that be?



The Hawks have played their last 4, and 11 of their last 12 at home. On the road, Atlanta is just 1-6 straight up their last 7, and they did get blasted by the Sixers 109-94 at Philips Arena back on January 11th in the teams last meeting.



Atlanta does have a big grudge game at Boston up next, so expect their focus to not be as it should.



Take Philly minus the points
Today's Complimentary Selection

G-Man 6-1 the last 7 days with my comp plays.



Lay the points tonight with the Cavaliers as they take on the Pistons.



How do I like the Cavs?



Let me count the ways!



# 1 - Cleveland is riding a 12-game winning streak which is a franchise record. They have also covered in their last pair of wins, and 3 of their last 4 wins during their current tear.



# 2 - The Cavaliers are 35-1 straight up at home this year, and they are on a 23-9 spread run their last 32 at the Quicken Loans Arena.



Finally, Cleveland has won and covered thel last pair of series meetings against Detroit, both coming by double-digits.



G-Man is laying the lumber with the Cavaliers, as they roll to win # 13 in a row.


3? CLEVELAND
(on a 1? to 5? basis)

Game: Old Dominion Monarchs @ Bradley Braves - Tuesday March 31, 2009 8:00 pm
Pick: 4 units ATS: Old Dominion Monarchs +2 (-110)



Bradley has a substantial edge in home court advantage, as they have drawn over 10,000 fans in these post season games. In addition, they have played all of their CIT games at home, so the Braves are well rested. However, I feel that these two factors are giving us excellent point spread value, and the oddsmakers are telling us something about these two teams. Bradley is just a small favorite, despite playing with a fairly strong home court advantage. The Colonial Athletic Association is a step above the Missouri Valley Conference this season. This year has been one of the weaker years for the MVC, evident by only one team making it into the NCAA tournament. In addition, Northern Iowa was bounced in the 1st round, while Creighton was defeated at home by a relatively weak Kentucky team in the NIT. In addition, Old Dominion underperformed for most of this season before turning things on in February. The Monarchs are a very athletic and well coached team. In addition, their three wins in the CIT have come against much better teams than Bradley. The Citadel, Belmont, and James Madison are overall tougher opponents than Pacific, Oakland, and Austin Peay. In addition, Old Dominion played very well on the road this season, going 7-6 straight up away from home. They are an experienced team as well, so they won’t get rattled in the hostile environment. Look for Old Dominion to get the outright win.

SCOTT RICKENBACH!:

Scott Rickenbach’s NBA 1* (regular play) Atlanta Hawks (+) @ Philadelphia @ 7:05 PM ET – With Atlanta coming off of a big win over the Lakers on Sunday and the Sixers off of a tight loss to Detroit on the same day, the “knee jerk� reaction here will be to back the Sixers at home. While that strategy (taking a decent team off of a loss or fading a good team off of a win over a better team) does work at certain times during this season, this is not the right time for that! When it’s late in the season and teams are battling for playoff position, it’s truly “crunch time�. This is why, even though the Hawks are off of an impressive win over the Lakers, this will certainly not be a flat spot for them here. The Hawks are trying to hang onto their playoff seeding and they will be taking on a Sixers team that is not playing it’s best ball right now. Also, Samuel Dalembert’s injury is another concern for Philly as he got hurt at Detroit on Sunday.

The Hawks had lost three of four before beating the Lakers and this is what is helping to give us so much line value here. The key is that those three Hawks losses came against Cleveland, Boston, and San Antonio. The Cavaliers, Celtics, and Spurs are all NBA Title contenders! So, what had the Hawks done before losing three of their last four games? They had won seven straight! They won’t let losses to three strong teams stand in the way of future success and they proved that by knocking off the Lakers on Sunday. There certainly will be no “let up� against the Sixers either. The Hawks lost to Philly by 15 points in their most recent meeting and that game was played in Atlanta. Also, the Hawks are still trying to secure the #4 seed in the Eastern Conference and, until they do, there will certainly be no letting up for Atlanta as they try to secure the home court edge for their first round match-up.

The Sixers are battling just to make sure they get into the playoffs. However, they haven’t really proven that with the way they’ve been playing. They’ve lost back to back games to Charlotte and Detroit and they had the home court edge against the Bobcats and the Pistons were a team that had been struggling badly. As for the Sixers, their defense is a real concern as they’ve allowed at least 100 points in six of their last seven games. In fact, in their last seven games they’ve allowed an average of 106 points per game. They’re facing a Hawks team that hasn’t allowed a team to score more than 102 against them in their last 13 games. Over their last 17 games, the Hawks have allowed just 91 points per game and they held the Lakers to just 35% shooting from the field on Sunday. This is why, even though they shot poorly too, the Hawks still won the game by double digits. One of the keys was Atlanta’s three point shooting and Atlanta is nailing about 37% of their threes this season while the Sixers, at 32%, are the worst three-point shooting team in the league. With the Sixers Dalembert hurting, the Hawks could take advantage in the paint and they should hold the edge with their perimeter shooting as well. The road team holds the value in this one and they get their revenge. Play Atlanta plus the points as a regular selection.
