8:05p Portland Trail Blazers vs New Orleans Hornets
Take: New Orleans Hornets +3-110 in 9h
3* Saturday Night NBA SMASH on Hornets +3
There is usually plenty of energy in the arena on Saturday nights and the Hornets are a team that feeds off that energy. In fact, New Orleans is on a 29-14 ATS tear in Saturday home games. It is also worth noting that the Hornets are 55-27-3 ATS in their last 85 Saturday games period. New Orleans is perennially a good home team. It is usually rare to find the Hornets catching points on their home floor, but they have been money in the bank when they do. They are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a home underdog of 4.5 or fewer points. The Hornets are also an outstanding 25-8 ATS in their last 33 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. We'll take the Hornets in the home dog role tonight.

Take: West Virginia +4½-110 in 8h
3* Elite 8 Perfect Angle Power Play on West Virginia +4.5
Kentucky has looked unstoppable in this tournament, but it hasn't faced a defense like West Virginia's yet. The Mountaineers have held 6 straight opponents under 60 points, and they have held 6 of their last 7 opponents to under 40% shooting. This defensive run is rather significant when you consider that WVU is a perfect 6-0 ATS after allowing 60 points or less 3 straight games over the last 3 seasons. Kentucky just held Cornell to 45 points, but it is on a 0-8 ATS after slide allowing 50 points or less. WVU is on a 21-4 ATS run in post-season tournament games and on a 15-2 ATS run in NCAA tournament games, including 4-0-1 ATS in its last 5 NCAA Tournament games as an underdog. With as good as West Virginia is defensively, they have what it takes to pull off the upset. I'll take the points in a game that should go right down to the wire.

4:30p Butler vs Kansas State
Take: Kansas State -4-105 in 5h
5* Elite 8 Game of the Year on K-State -4
Butler is a really good team, but their tournament run comes to an end this afternoon. After getting a major scare from Xavier, and knowing that Butler knocked out Syracuse, expect the more talented Wildcats to show up that much more focused today. This time of year, a couple things really matter, experience and good guard play. Both teams have experience on their side, but K-State has the overwhelming advantage at the guard positions. No one has had an answer for Denis Clemente and Jacob Pullen in this tournament, and I don't think Butler will be the team to break the mold. The Wildcats are 8-0-1 ATS in their last 9 non-conference games, 6-0-1 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games as a favorite and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 vs. the Horizon League. Lay the points with K-StateComment
