20 Dime - CALIFORNIA
The Huskies have been solid at home, going 16-1, but you get them on the road and they are a totally different team, going winless in five games.
They are also overly reliant on Quincy Pondexter (20.6 ppg, 8.3 rebounds) and Isaiah Thomas (17.1 ppg) for offensive production, and if one of them has an off game, the Huskies' chances of winning go down significantly with no other player averaging more than 8.8 ppg.
The Golden Bears are 11-2 at home this season, and now get to play in Berkeley after four straight road games.
And unlike Washington, California has four players who average double digits in scoring, led by guards Jerome Randle (19.1 ppg) and Patrick Christopher (16.3 ppg).
Washington beat the Bears 84-69 in Seattle on Jan. 16 as Pondexter and Thomas combined for 45 points for the Huskies. But Randle had just five points on 2-for-9 shooting and eight turnovers as he was limited by foul trouble and a sore right knee.
Despite losing that last meeting, Cal is 5-2-1 in its last eight games against Washington, and it is also on ATS runs of 10-4 as a favorite and 7-3 as a home favorite. The Huskies, meanwhile, are on ATS slides of 7-16 overall, 0-5 on the road and 0-4 as an underdog. Take the Golden Bears to roll to an easy victory and cover the points tonight.

Cleveland comes into tonights game barely squeaking by the Nets 2 nights ago, I expect them to play more "Motivated" basketball tonight. Cleveland is 3-1 as a home fav of 6-9pts TY, and they win 70% of their games vs teams with winning records. Cleveland has won 12 straight games and is 14-1 their L15. They have failed to cover in their last 2 wins, but covered 6 straight prior to that. Now coming off rest they will face the Orlando Magic who last night went into Chicago and served a beatdown to the Bulls easily winning by 20, now they must travel to Cleveland and play in one of arguably the toughest place to play in the Entire league Quicken Loans Arena. Great Let down spot for the Magic. Orlando is 3-8 ATS vs Central Div opponents TY. Right now Cleveland is playing its best ball of the season Lets not forget that last year Orlando booted Cleveland out of the playoffs, so their definitely may be some payback involved. Lebron James was quoted after Tues nights game against Nets as saying "They’re coming into our building, and right now we’re the best team in the NBA, It’s going to be a fun one.” Shaq on the other hand has had a longstanding grudge against Howard was quoted as saying " “It’s going to be a good matchup,” who has averaged15.3 points on 63.9 percent shooting during the Cavs winning streak. “Hopefully they play me one on one and hopefully they let us play.” - taking a shot at Howard. Cleveland has won 21 of 22 games (95%) at home this year and I expect that number to continue. Lay the Points as this Soap Opera is over by halftime.

7* Florida Atlantic -2 vs La.-Lafayette
The Owls are off back to back losses. However, both those games came of the road, where they've struggled. Before that, they'd won five straight and seven of eight. They're back at home tonight, where they're a healthy 8-2 SU on the season. They're also looking to avenge an earlier road loss, suffered on 12/12. Note that the Owls covered the spread in that game.
Also, note that the Owls blew out the Ragin Cajuns when the teams played here last January. The line for that game was a pick'em, yet the Owls won by a score of 63-47. Including that result, they're an impressive 6-1 SU/ATS the last seven times that they were listed as a home favorite, or pick'em, of three points or less.
The Ragin Cajuns are tough at home. They're just 3-8 on the road though and are only 2-4-1 ATS (0-7 SU) when listed as underdogs. I expect homecourt to be the difference and look for the Owls to bounce back and improve to 8-2 ATS (10-0 SU) the last 10 times that they played a home game with an O/U line in the 145 to 149.5 range.
