5* Oklahoma St +6.5
Washington St is a great team when allowed to run up and down but when they play against teams that play half court and make them play half court they are not the same. Pilgrim and Page will be a great inside out 1-2 punch for Oklahoma St and think they have chance to win straight up and this many pts is just a bonus.

Warriors at Spurs
Pick: Under 211
The Warriors are playing the third game of a four game road trip and the middle game of the Texas Triangle. They lost 101-73 last night in Dallas with Monta Ellis leading the scoring with 18 points. We see no reason for the jacked up number here.
Golden St is 0-13 OU (-8.5 ppg) when playing the second of back-to-back road games after losing the first and 0-9 OU (-13.3 ppg) as a dog after a double-digit loss in which they scored at least 15 points fewer than expected.
The player-based trends reveal that the Warriors are 0-9 OU (-8.7 ppg) son the road with no rest after a loss on the road in which Stephen Curry was not the Warriors' high scorer, 0-9 OU (-14.2 ppg) in franchise history on the road when David Lee had a double-double the last two and 0-6 OU (-8.8 ppg) with no rest after a loss on the road in which Monta Ellis played more than 40 minutes.
The Spurs are 0-7 OU (-6.9 ppg) as a favorite after a win in which they made fewer baskets than their opponent and the league as a whole is 0-13 OU (-17.7 ppg) as a favorite with at most one day of rest after a win in which they shot at least ten three-pointers and made at least half of them.
Finally, San Antonio is 0-7 OU (-13.2 ppg) at home after a win at home in which Richard Jefferson scored fewer than 10 points, 0-5 OU (-12.4 ppg) at home after a win at home in which Manu Ginobili played fewer than 30 minutes and 0-5 OU (-12.1 ppg) at home after two wins in which George Hill took fewer than 10 shots in each. We like the UNDER.

LA Kings -165
I'm playing on LA. Since the Flames grabbed the opening game in this year's season series, the Kings have won each of the last two. I expect them to have the advantage again this evening.
After losing here (in overtime) on Saturday, the Kings had yesterday off. They had a highly successful road trip and absolutely can't afford to follow it up by dropping three straight at home.
While the Kings were "resting," the Flames were involved in an OT game of their own, last night, vs. those same Ducks. It was a "wild affair" and I expect the Flames to struggle tonight. Note that they're an awful 14-26 (-9.2) the last 40 times that they played the second of b2b games, including just 4-8 their last 12 in that situation.
After Saturday's loss, LA defenseman Willie Mitchell commented: "It's a team we'd obviously like to beat in regulation to put some more space between us," We deserved better, but we're going to focus on the positives."
The Kings, who still have a superior home record, when compared to Calgary's road record, are 34-29 (+3.6) the last 63 times that they scored one goal or less in their previous game. With an extra day to "recover," I expect them to have an easier time "bouncing back" from the OT loss and look for them to be the team that picks up the valuable two points.
