Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics
Play: Golden State Warriors +9½
The Boston Celtics find themselves in a difficult spot after having traded big man Kendrick Perkins to Oklahoma City and with both Shaquille and Jermaine O'Neal injured they lost Glen Davis last night and Ray Allen is questionable. Golden State amazingly enough is 23-6 ATS in their last 29 games against the NBA Atlantic.

Suns at Bucks
Pick: Suns -2.5
Bucks and Horace Greeley are not seeing eye to eye this season as when going vs the West they are only 8-19 SU & 9-18 ATS. Suns have had success in Milwaukee going 7-3 SU & ATS and are 4-0 SU & 3-1 ATS their last 4 off a SU loss (3-1 ATS) with those wins being 105-97 over Atlanta, 102-101 over Utah (ATS loss), 104-92 over Golden State and 88-71 over Boston. Milwaukee likely will be without Bogut and likely Gooden who even if he returns will be rusty and limited after missing time with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Power Rankings also give the edge here and see Phoenix with an 8 to 11 pt win tonight.

Philadelphia (-9) for 2 Units
We got a team (Minn) that's coming off a rare win that's 1-4 ATS following a SU victory and that's 0-5 ATS on Fridays. Minnesota's defense has been virtually non-existent on the road allowing nearly 110 ppg and should allow the 76ers to run away with this one. Philadelphia, which is coming off a hard fought home loss to Dallas, sports a strong 19-7-1 ATS mark off a SU loss. We'll look for the 76ers to bounce back strong in this spot.

Northeastern -3.5
Delaware enters the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament with an anemic offense that is averaging 63.5 points per game against teams that combine to allow 67 points per game, including shooting just 41.4% from the field. Moreover, the Blue Hens are averaging a mere 63.3 points per game on the road this season, including averaging just 32 rebounds per game. Overall, Delaware is 3.5 points per game worse than average offensively this season, whereas the Huskies are 0.7 points per game better than average offensively. Northeastern also takes the court with double revenge after dropping both affairs to the Blue Hens this season, which is significant in that the Huskies now apply to a solid 31-6-1 ATS tournament situation of mine that invests on certain favorites playing with same-season revenge. And, in what could be a relatively competitive game down the stretch, we can take comfort in the fact that Northeastern is shooting 74.5% from the foul line, including 76.9% away from home. Let's also note that Northeastern is a profitable 20-8 ATS following a double-digit win, including a perfect 9-0 ATS on the road after winning its previous game by ten points or more. Finally, Northeastern enters the CAA Tournament having won 7 of its last 11 games, whereas the Blue Hens have lost 8 of their last 11 contests.

1000♦ Philadelphia 76ers
500♦ on Kent St
On the surface the 9-points the Sixers are being asked to cover tonight at home may seem like a lot, but after further consideration, I fully believe Philadelphia can definitely step up at home tonight and blast the Wolves.
Minnesota is off a road win at Detroit, and only 3 times thus far this season has the Timberwolves been able to notch a 2-game winning streak. I don't see it happening tonight, as they play a Philly team that is itching to get back to their winning ways after losing at home to Dallas the other night.
The 76ers have won 6 of their last 8 games straight up to move to 30-30 for the season. They are also 18-11 agahnst the spread at home this season, and in the series Philly has won and covered the last pair of meetings by double-digits.
The home team has won 7 of the last 8 series meetings overall, and is 4-2 against the spread the last 6 times the teams have matched up.
I say lay it with Philly to get the blowout win tonight.
College hoops, and Kent has a little payback in mind on senior night in Golden Flashes-land.
Akron was a 65-62 home court winners over Kent back in early January to snap a 3-game Kent series winning streak, but the Flashes did cover as the road dog in that game to make it 4 straight series covers.
The Zips were absolutely routed in their last game on the road at Ohio, 80-55 to snap an 8-game winning streak. I suspect the losing streak for Akron is going to hit 2 in a row as they head to the conference tourney.
Kent is a positive 13-2 straight up at home this year, and in this series the favorite is 10-4 against the spread.
Back Kent minus the points to improve on those series numbers.
