I'm 6-3 with my last nine free selections but I'm improving on that today with an NBA winner for you as I lay the chalk with the Hornets who welcome the Spurs to New Orleans today.
This has been a series dominated by the home team, winning nine of the last 10 matchups, so we’re not going to stray from that and go ahead and lay the small chalk with the Hornets.
San Antonio has looked horrendous the last two games, losing at Charlotte on Friday and at Memphis on Saturday. They got crushed by the Bobcats 92-76 as a two-point favorite and then they fell at Memphis 92-86 as a 1 ½-point underdog. The Spurs aren’t very good on the road at just 7-9 SU and ATS this season and putting in just 96.1 points a game.
New Orleans has won eight of its last 10 games (7-3 ATS), including a 101-96 road win in Indianapolis on Saturday, cashing as a 2 ½-point underdog. This team is back to full force after a rash of injuries early in the season. Saturday, Chris Paul had his normal huge game with 22 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds and David West had 24 points.
The home team is 12-2 ATS in the last 14 clashes between these two with the favorite holding a 9-3 ATS edge in the last 12. New Orleans owns its home court, going 6-1 ATS the last 7 times the Spurs have come calling.
Play the Hornets today as they take advantage of the tired, road-weary legs of San Antonio.
3♦ NEW ORLEANS
Jay McNeil
I don't give out many totals, but I nailed the Cowboys-Vikings under Sunday, picking up a victory with my free play, improving my record to 15-11 over the last 26 days.
Texas was taken to the limit Saturday by Texas A&M before escaping with a 72-67 overtime victory, and the game had to have taken a lot out of the Longhorns. Now they have to travel to Manhattan, Kan., to take on a talented Kansas State team.
The Wildcats are 40-5 at home under coach Frank Martin, and they are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games overall and 4-0 ATS in their last four home games.
Kansas State has a strong backcourt with guards Jacob Pullen and Denis Clemente, and the Wildcats average 83.1 ppg with four players averaging at least 11.1 ppg.
Kansas State plays a physical style and should be able to stand up to any challenge the Longhorns give them, especially playing at home. Take the Wildcats to cover the points today.
2♦ KANSAS STATE

MLK Day matinee in Atlanta today, and I will grab the points with the improved Thunder.
Oklahoma City comes into this one having covered 11 of their last 16 in the road dog role, and they are fresh off a home outright win over Miami, 98-80.
Atlanta is riding a 3-game winning streak, but the Hawks were extended on Friday night in their home win, but no cover against Phoenix.
I think this one will also go down to the wire.
Series numbers show the Thunder having covered 9 of the last 10 series meetings, and that is good enough for me.
Take the points.
3♦ OKLHAHOMA CITY
Chuck O'Brien
Free-play run is now at 7-2 over the past nine days (5-1 last six days) after yesterday’s outright winner with Indiana over Minnesota, and let’s stay in college basketball Monday by taking the points with Kansas State over Texas.
Texas continues to cling to the No. 1 ranking – the first No. 1 ranking in school history – but the operative word is “cling,” as the Longhorns have pulled consecutive Houdini acts since climbing to the top of the polls. On Wednesday, they barely escaped with a win at Iowa State, then on Saturday, the needed overtime to dispose of Texas A&M – the same Texas A&M that four days earlier lost 88-65 at Kansas State!
The Longhorns have now failed to cover in four straight games overall (including their first three Big 12 games), and they’ve also failed to cash in 20 of their last 28 conference games and eight of their last 11 road games. The Wildcats are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine overall and 10-0 at home this year (5-0 ATS). They’ve also held their own against Texas in recent years, winning four of the last nine clashes while going 7-1-1 against the number, including last year’s 85-81 upset win at Texas as a 10½-point road pup.
4♦ KANSAS STATE
Bryan Leonard
Chicago at Golden State
The Bulls have won four straight games but they have been less than impressive in our eyes. Three of the wins were at home against some of the worst teams in the league, Minnesota, Washington and Detroit. The fourth win was at Boston in a game the Celtics were playing without Rasheed Wallace and Kevin Garnett. Chicago is just 5-8 straight up against the Western Conference including a 96-91 home victory over Golden State. The Bulls are only 4-13 straight up away from home.
This is an extremely important game for the host who has dropped three straight on this home stand. They face Denver on Wednesday before ending the home stand against New Jersey. The Warriors are 9-6-1 ATS vs the Eastern Conference and 10-7 ATS playing at home. In the last three weeks they have beaten Phoenix and Boston in this building and dropped a 3 point decision to Cleveland. Off three straight home losses you know the Warriors will be the more focused team today.
PLAY GOLDEN STATE
Larry Ness
Texas +2 vs Kansas St.
Texas beat 14 of its first 15 opponents by double digits to open 15-0, its best start in 77 seasons. A week ago Monday, the Longhorns supplanted Kansas as the nation's No. 1 ranked team, the first time in school history that Texas has held that spot. However, as the saying goes, "uneasy is the head that wears the crown." Texas edged Iowa St 90-83 in Ames on Wednesday and back in Austin on Saturday, needed OT is get past Texas A&M 72-67. Texas visits Manhattan, Kansas tonight to take on the 13th-ranked Wildcats (15-2). KSU is one of the nation's top-scoring teams (83.1 PPG), led by its high-scoring guard duo of Pullen (19.7-3.4 APG) and Clemente (14.9-4.1 APG). The frontcourt contributors are the 6-7 Samuels (12.1-4.6), the 6-8 Kelly (11.1-6.2), the 6-5 Sutton (8.1-5.9) and the 6-10 Colon (2.6-4.4). The Longhorns are led by the the 6-7 James (17.8-11.2), who could contend for player-of-the-year honors. Big man Pittman got himself in great shape last year and after barely playing in his first two seasons (about six MPG while averaging 2.7-2.1), he averaged just over 16 minutes last year with 10.1 PPG and 5.5 RPG. Pittman is getting just over 20 minutes of playing time this year, while averaging 12.8-6.5. Junior Balbay (4.3-3.5-4.5) is joined in the backcourt by freshman Bradley (12.2) and vet Mason (2.6-1.9) but Mason is becoming an afterthought. Two more freshman, guard Brown (11.1) and the 6-7 Hamilton (9.4-3.6), are making significant contributions, as is 6-7 junior forward Johnson (8.4-5.2). KSU is 10-0 SU (5-0 ATS) at home but the Longhorns are something special. They are averaging 87.2 PPG (2nd-most in all of CBB) and in this virtual "pick'em situation," I'm taking the nation's No. 1 team. Hook'em Horns!
Chris Jordan
Dallas at BOSTON -5'
Something tells me this won't be a problem for the Celtics, despite their continuing struggles without Kevin Garnett.
Rasheed Wallace is expected back tonight, but it won't matter, as Boston will take care of a tired and weary Mavs team.
The Mavericks, who lead the Spurs by 1-1/2 games in the Southwest Division, have dropped three of four, including yesterday's 110-88 setback at Toronto to open up a season-high five-game excursion.
It was the fourth straight game and eighth time in nine Dallas failed to reach 100 points. That might make things much easier for the tenacious Celtics, who will be hungry for a win and who are trying to avoid losing three straight at home for the first time in more than two years.
Dallas has lost four straight overall to Boston, and topped the 92-point plateau only once during that stretch.
Play the C's here.

St. Louis @ Columbus
Pick: St. Louis +110
The Bluejackets are struggling big time especially defensively so they really are not fit to be favored over anyone right now especially a Blues team that is much better on the road than at home.

Oklahoma City Thunder vs Atlanta Hawks
The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the most improved teams in the NBA, and we look for them to showcase their young talent again today when they visit the Atlanta Hawks in a Martin Luther King Day matinee.
Kevin Durant still fills the stat sheet nightly for the Thunder, as he leads the team in points, rebounds, field goal percentage, steals and blocks. That said, while he is obviously the team leader, Oklahoma City is no longer a one-man show, as Russell Westbrook and Jeff Green are bother averaging double-digits in points and Westbrook leads the club with 7.4 assists per game.
The result of all this is that the Thunder have a winning record this season at 22-18 after having one of the worst records in the NBA last season. Even more impressive has been their play on the road, where Oklahoma City has a winning 10-9 straight up mark and a fantastic 13-6, 68.4 percent record against the spread. They are even outscoring their opponents on the road by an average of +1.2 points per game.
Now the Hawks are not chopped liver and they are 16-4 SU and 14-6 ATS at home. That said, the Thunder went 2-0 ATS in the head-to-head meetings last season, and while the Hawks are just as good as they were in 2008-09, Oklahoma City is obviously much improved. In fact, if you want to go back further, the Thunder/Sonics franchise is 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings with Atlanta.
Granted, that goes back a bit too far for our liking considering that these clubs face each other just twice a year, but returning to the here and now, the Thunder have snuck up on many teams this season on the road that do not realize just how good this team is, and we look for the same thing to happen today vs. what may be an overconfident Eastern Conference team.
Take the points here as we would not be at all surprised if an Oklahoma City team that has become accustomed to facing the tougher teams in the West emerges here with an outright upset.
Pick: Thunder +5.5
SPORTS WAGERS
Milwaukee +6½ over HOUSTON
There’s no doubt that since Michael Redds’ injury the Bucks are playing a whole lot better. Come to think of it they were playing good at the start of the year when he was out then too. It hasn’t shown up in the win column on the road but the Bucks are still 4-4 over its last eight games. That includes a four-point loss in Phoenix and a win in Golden State. They’re showing a trend of a bad game followed by a good one and they’re going off a bad one in Utah in which they lost 112-95. What’s interesting about the Bucks is that they attempt more FG’s per game than any team in the NBA and that alone makes them a dangerous pooch, especially against the defenseless Rockets. In the last five games, the Rockets have given up 118, 96, 102, 114 and 115 points. They virtually have nobody to protect the rim. The Rockets have lost five of seven games and they weren't all that impressive in the two home wins. They trailed the Knicks by 19 in the first half, and needed three overtimes to subdue the dreadful T-Wolves. The Rockets are a team in trouble and taking back any points against them appears to be the prudent move. Play: Milwaukee +6½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
Sacramento +6½ over CHARLOTTE
Very often the best time to jump off a team is when its stock is high because you usually get an inflated line and that’s precisely the situation here. The Bobcats are flying high right now with seven wins in eight games and that includes four in a row. They’re coming off two very nice wins against San Antonio and Phoenix in which they blew out both teams. They also have recent wins over both Miami and Cleveland, the latter on the road and now they’re an enticing 6½-point favorite over one of the league’s worst road squads. Sac has three wins in 18 road games while the Cats are 16-4 at home. Looks easy, doesn’t it? Not so fast my friends. You see, the Cats have been at home for about nine days and four games. They have the Heat up next and this is such a vulnerable spot in that the Cats are going too good and could definitely get caught being too complacent. Sacramento is a very talented group that comes to play every game and they’ll very likely come to play here as well. Furthermore, the Cats have been favored by this much just once all year, at home over the Bulls and failed to cover as a 6½-point favorite. Again, this is a vulnerable spot for them so don’t be surprised to seem them lose outright. Play: Sacramento +6½ (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
MEMPHIS –2 over Phoenix
I’m not really sure why but the Grizz are being shown no love from either the public or the books. All this team does is go out and win games and in fact, no team has been hotter than this host over the past couple of months. Remember, the Grizz started the year 1-8 and are now 21-18, which means they’ve gone 20-10 since then. The Grizzlies are 11-3 over its last 14 games and have won seven in a row at home. They’re feeling it big time. Meanwhile, the Suns are headed in the opposite direction. Here’s a team that started 14-2 and are now 24-17, which means they’ve gone 10-15 since that sizzling start. The Suns do not travel well and in fact, has dropped nine of its last 10 away from home. This is a Suns team that plays no defense whatsoever, they’re going bad, they’re still way overrated and frankly, this is a cheap lay on the hot team vs the cold one. Play: Memphis –2 (Risking 2.14 units to win 2).
NY ISLANDERS +1.27 over New Jersey
The Islanders are playing their hearts out every shift of every game and they’re also playing its best hockey of the season. They’re winning important games right now and they’re also beating some very good teams in the process. The Isles have won three straight and five of six and that includes a flawless 6-0 win over Detroit and a 3-2 OT win against the Sabres. The Islanders have scored five or more in three of its last six and scored at least three times in all six games. The Islanders could very well be playoff bound and now sit in eighth place but they’re just four points behind the Bruins for fifth. This team is soaring with confidence and can’t wait to get back on the ice for this matinee affair against the rival Devils in what should be in front of a full and rambunctious house. The Devils have cooled off, which is no big deal, as they sit a comfortable 15 points ahead of the final playoff team. They’ll pick it up again but this isn’t the best spot for them. You see, this is the Devils fourth straight on the road after games in New York, Phoenix and Colorado, three different time zones and this will be the fourth in six days. In fact, it could be considered it fifth game in a week because they finished off that postponed game with Tampa Bay after they played the Rangers and flew out to play Phoenix the very next day. That’s tough indeed. Besides that, they’ve lost three of four and have not looked sharp at all. Its only victory over that stretch was a 1-0 win against the Rangers in which they allowed 51 shots on net. This being an afternoon game can in no way whatsoever benefit the exhausted Devils and frankly, they’re very likely in for a tough, tough afternoon. Play: N.Y. Islanders +1.24 (Risking 2 units).
Toronto +1.68 over NASHVILLE
The price is great and so is the situation. After the dreaded three-game trip to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, the Preds return home for one lousy game and then head out again for a four-game trip. It’s difficult enough coming home and being sharp and you can double that when the players know they’ll be headed out again for a nine-day excursion. It’s also very good news that the Preds won all three of those games in Western Canada and not many teams will ever make that claim in the same year. The Preds will have no sense of urgency whatsoever while the Leafs almost always play with a sense of urgency. The Leafs are a dangerous team with a tag like this on them because if they get good goaltending they’re usually in a position to win. Anyway, this is all about playing against the Preds in a difficult spot with a very nice take-back. Play: Toronto +1.70 (Risking 2 units).
St. Louis +1.03 over COLUMBUS
Just sign up for this one right away and ask no questions. The Blue Notes are on a serious roll at the moment with four straight wins and each win is more impressive than the last. This team is gaining steam with each passing period and confidence is soaring. Over that stretch of four wins, the Blue Notes has outscored the opposition by a count of 13-5. Over its last three games they’ve allowed two goals against and that includes a 4-1 win over these same Jackets in St. Louis six days ago. The Jackets laying juice is about as appealing as watching a Vern Troyner sex-tape. They can’t score, they can’t defend, they lose way more often than they win and since that 4-1 loss to the Blues last week, they’re 0-2 with back-to-back losses to the Blackhawks. The Jackets are a team in trouble and Ken Hitchcock is about to be let go anytime now. After a troubling first half under Andy Murray, the Blues are having fun again and they’re just so pumped up to get out there and play. You can see it in their body language and in their effort. Play: St. Louis +1.02 (Risking 2 units).

Manhattan College at Siena
Prediction: Siena
Siena is 14-4 overall and 7-0 in Conference play. The Saints are led by Edwin Ubiles and his 15.7 points a game. Guard Clarence Jackson scores 14.9 points a game and he is just under 40 from beyond the arc. Forward Alex Franklin chips in with 14.5 points and 8 + rebounds a game. Forward Ryan Rossiter 12.9 points a night while pulling down 10.1 rebounds a game. Manhattan is 7-10 overall and 2-5 in Conference play. Guard Rico Pickett with 16.1 points a game Darryl Crawford scores 15.2 points a game. Antoine Pearson scores 10 points a game but no other player on the team scores more than 6.9 points a game. Simply put this is men against boys. PLAY ON SIENA -
Jeff Alexander
1 Unit on Golden State Warriors +2
Bottom Line: We'll grab the Warriors in the home underdog role today as they are an impressive is 21-8 ATS as a home underdog since the beginning of last season. Looking back even further, they are 39-12-2 ATS in their last 53 games as a home underdog, and today they are catching a bucket against a Bulls team that is just 4-13 on the road this season. The Warriors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as an underdog and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games when playing on 2 day's rest. Take the Warriors.
