Game: San Jose at Los Angeles (10:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: San Jose -120 (moneyline)

The Sharks were once a team that was great at home, but struggled on the road. This season however, they are equally tough on the road at 16-6-2, eclipsing the Kings’ home mark of just 13-8-2. The Sharks are in an offensive frenzy right now as they have tallied 13 in their last two. On the defensive end, they have allowed just 7 in the last five games. It will be a tough chore for the Kings’ up-and-down offense that has scored 2 or less in half of their last 14 games to hang close in this one. The Sharks are the NHL's best playing in the second of consecutive nights where they are 45-14 in their last 59. The Kings are failing to get it done vs. road teams with a .600+ winning percentage, where they are just 8-21. I'll go with San Jose here

J-RICH, from Pregame.com

OKLAHOMA SOONERS +8 (-110) CBB BIG 12 GOY: Gonna make this writeup short and sweet gentlemen. I don't think Texas A&M, should even be favored in this Big 12 matchup. Ok I take that back A&M should be laying -2 or -3 on there home court. I just don't see the reasoning, behind this line. I think Vegas has over inflated this line, due to the fact A&M played #1 Texas so tight. I think you are asking alot from a 11-5 Texas A&M team to beat a newly born Oklahoma team that has won 2 in a row beating a good Oklahoma State team at home and Missouri on the road. Don't be suprised if Oklahoma wins this game outright!!! I will be taking the generous +8 points and maybe make a small wager on the ML. The Sharps will hit this hard tommorow and probably drop this line to Oklahoma +6.5 maybe even +6.

Chip Chirimbes

San Diego State at Utah
Pick: San Diego St +1.5

The Utes may not have dropped off much in football compared too the drop in the basketball program. Utah is 9-8 this season and are just about a point favorite over San Diego State who is 13-5 on the season. The Aztecs play defense as the allow only 38% field goal percentage on defense while they have five players that average better nine and 12 points. They also have a plus eight rebounds per game advantage. Take

SAN DIEGO STATE!

sports book breakers 4.5 *
4.5-STAR Miami and Indiana over 205 - Each of these teams comes into this one with two days rest and should be ready to put up points tonight. Prior to their last games, each team had been on a scoring binge and we expect that to continue tonight.

Miami played in more of a slowdown game last game, and it lead to a 98-80 loss to Oklahoma City. In their two wins prior, they scored 115 points in each. The Heat are 10-0 OU (8.9 ppg) since February 12, 2006 at home when they scored at least 25 fewer points in their previous game than in the game before.

They had 15 steals in that game but it did not matter. The Heat are 8-0 OU (19.0 ppg) since April 24, 2005 after a game on the road in which they had at least 12 steals.

Coming off the bench, Udonis Haslem scored only four points in 19 minutes. The Heat are 11-0 OU (10.4 ppg) since January 18, 2009 after a loss on the road in which Udonis Haslem scored fewer than 10 points.

Indiana both scored and allowed less than they had in the past five games and it led to a 101-96 loss to New Orleans. Troy Murphy struggled in the game, going 2-of-9 in 27 minutes. The Pacers are 10-0 OU (10.7 ppg) since November 27, 2007 with at least a day of rest after a loss at home in which Troy Murphy played fewer than 30 minutes.

Indiana was only able to manage 17 assists on 38 baskets in that loss. The Pacers are 7-0-1 OU (9.9 ppg) since May 15, 2004 with two or more days of rest after a loss in which the percentage of their baskets that were assisted was at least ten percentage points lower than their season-to-date average.

Both these teams should have seen that slowing it down is not the way to go. Expect a shootout tonight.

SPORTSBOOK BREAKERS PREDICTION: MIAMI 115, Indiana 10

Indiana +5.5

For a number of different reasons I believe we're getting excellent value on the visitors in this situation:

Indiana has lost to Miami twice already this year; now healthier the Pacers are actually starting to win some games; the Pacers enter Tuesday searching for their fourth win in five games and will attempt to earn back-to-back road victories for the first time since Nov. 4-17.

The presence of leading scorer Danny Granger, who missed the previous trip to Miami with a torn right plantar fascia, could help in the opener of a three-game trip. Granger has averaged 25.0 points in his last two meetings with the Heat and scored 22 in a 96-83 home loss Oct. 30th; Indiana is 3-3 since Granger returned after going 5-11 while he was out.

The Pacers have been playing better ball lately, no doubt; 4-1 ATS their last five overall. They also have precedence on their side as they are 7-3 ATS their last ten on the road against the Heat.

On the other side of the court: Miami finished 3-3 on a season-high road-trek but it ended with a 98-80 loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday night; I expect another "letdown" this evening.

Kevin Durant scored 36 points on the most efficient shooting night of his career and also pulled down 10 rebounds as the Thunder beat the road-weary Heat 98-80 on Saturday night.

Also working against the Heat in this situation is the fact that Miami is just 5-11 ATS its last 16 in front of the home town crowd.

Bottom line: The Heat finished their longest road trip of the season, but are hardly done with a brutal stretch on their schedule. They get only this one-game reprieve in Florida before heading back on the road during a period when they play 19 of 24 games on the road; this will also be a distraction for this team tonight.

Behind improved play, and playing with the "double revenge" factor, look for INDIANA to improve to 2-2 ATS as a road dog of 3 1/2 to 6 points and for Miami to fall to 2-5 ATS as a home favorite of 3 1/2 to 6 points!

Great spot here for the Kings, they get a Sharks team who just spanked the Flames 9-1 and they’ve won 7 of their last 10 games. NO pressure on the Sharks. Quick is 3-0 lifetime vs. the Sharks and the Kings are hitting 60% this season as a home dog. It seems to be a doggy dog night! Take the Kings.

Texas A&M -7.5

Oklahoma off an upset win against Mizzou at home Saturday, but in the process lost their #1 shooting guard to a leg injury and he is very doubtful tonight. Texas AM playing with triple revenge and they have the better team at home. Homecourt is HUGE in the Big 12, just ask Texas from last night, whom I was all over K State in that one. OU will have issues keeping pace here. Texas AM fired up after a near OT miss against rival Texas on Saturday. OU's last 3 road games were bad losses at Baylor, Gonzaga and UTEP on a nuetral site. Texas AM is just 1-2 in Big 12 play right now and this is a MUST WIN! Play 1 Unit on Texas AM

Indiana +5.5

This is a bad spot for the Heat, who return home following a six-game road swing, their longest of the season. NBA teams playing their first home game following a road trip of five or more games is always a trouble spot. Portland was in this spot on 11.18 on did not cover vs. Detroit, winning by just six as 10.5-point chalk. On January 5th, Philadelphia lost outright to Washington as five-point favorites. Golden State has split in this spot on two occasions, once getting clobbered by San Antonio. So has Memphis, who lost outright to Portland early in the year. Our point is that's it's not always a play on situation, but in most cases, it's worth a look. Making this an attractive play is the fact that Danny Granger is now back for the Pacers, which makes them a far more dangerous team. After going just 5-11 SU with Granger out of the lineup, the team is 3-3 since his return and even better he's averaged 25 PPG the last two times he's faced Miami. Granger missed the earlier meeting when the Heat when Indiana was blown out 114-80. Note that the Pacers are 72-37 ATS when playing with revenge for a loss where the team scored 85 points or less. Indiana's high-scoring ways can give a team playing with fatigue issues plenty of trouble. They had scored 100+ in five straight games, twice topping the 120 mark, prior to a loss to New Orleans on Saturday. Indiana is our NBA Oddsmaker Mismatch.
