DUQUESNE @ DAVIDSON | 02/14 | 7:00 PM EST
DAVIDSON -13
ANALYSIS: Davidson hasn't covered any of its last five home games and is coming off a loss at Rhode Island. But this is a great spot with Duquesne visiting. The Dukes just lost to Fordham by 11, their ninth straight defeat, despite the Rams missing their leading scorer. Duquesne had one assist in the first half. Frustated Coach Keith Dambrot doesn't seem to have answers. “We can’t be that bad at pass*ing the ball," he told reporters. "It’s just like a loose ball, charges, think about how many of our pe*rim*e*ter guys have taken a charge all year. It’s ri*dic*u*lous." Duquense allows opponents to shoot 39 percent from deep, which ranks 352nd nationally. With the Wildcats coming off a rare poor shooting performance, and with their starters shooting 50 percent overall and 40.5 percent from deep, I'll lay it.

WILLIAM & MARY @ UNC-WILM. | 02/14 | 2:00 PM EST
UNC-WILM. -13
ANALYSIS: The Seahawks are having a special season. They are 11-2 SU and 12-1 ATS in conference play, including 6-0 SU and ATS at home against conference opponents. The Tribe have been blown out in four straight games, including a 22-point home loss to the Seahawks. They allowed the Seahawks to shoot 61.8 percent from the field. The Seahawks will likely dominate the Tribe once again and cover this spread.

WILLIAM & MARY @ UNC-WILM. | 02/14 | 2:00 PM EST
UNC-WILM. -13
ANALYSIS: UNCW is on an absolute tear, they're covering almost every spread and are currently the 7th luckiest team in D1 according to Ken Pom. Today, I think we see their luck continue and this run of stellar play extend. Wilmington handled William & Mary by 22 points as a road favorite of just 5.5 points. Today they're expected to win by 13 at home. I don't see the margin getting 9 points smaller on their own floor less than 10 days later. I'll back the Seahawks to keep it rolling.
1:08 AM
SC STATE @ MORGAN ST. | 02/14 | 7:30 PM EST
SC STATE +3
ANALYSIS: I rank Morgan State pretty low, and see them as a bottom 25 team in college basketball. They have underperformed expectations and are a lousy 3-12 ATS this season, so we're going to fade them. SC State has performed well on the road to the tune of 8-3-1 ATS away and should be able to make this interesting. The Bulldogs have recently defeated teams like NC Central and Howard that both beat Morgan by 10 points and 9 points, respectively. Grab the +3 as I think the full possession is too many points, this should probably be a pick'em.

GOLDEN ST. @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 02/14 | 10:30 PM EST
L.A. CLIPPERS +6
ANALYSIS: My model says the Clippers cover in almost 70 percent of the simulations, so you're getting excellent value with them at this number. After suffering three straight losses by seven or more points, Los Angeles ended the slide with a triumph at Dallas on Saturday. The Warriors suffered back-to-back losses before escaping with a two-point victory Saturday against the Lakers. Expect the Clippers to keep it close.
+380 6-2 IN LAST 8 NBA PICKS
+936 16-6 IN LAST 22 LAC ATS PICKS
YESTERDAY 7:13 PM
TORONTO @ SEATTLE | 02/14 | 9:00 PM EST
SEATTLE +1.5
ANALYSIS: My model says the Kraken cover in over 60 percent of the simulations, so you're getting strong value with them at this number. Seattle has won two of its last three contests after suffering back-to-back losses, but both of those setbacks were by one goal. The Maple Leafs have dropped their last two games following an overtime victory. Take the Kraken +1.5 goals at -145.

SACRAMENTO @ BROOKLYN | 02/14 | 7:30 PM EST
SACRAMENTO -3.5
ANALYSIS: The Kings are 2-0 since Domantas Sabonis joined the team, winning both games by 13 points. The Nets have lost 11 straight and will be without Kyrie Irving again with this game being played in Brooklyn. Having Seth Curry and Andre Drummond should provide a boost for the Nets, but with Irving out, look for the Kings to stay hot and cover.

FEATURED PICK
CHICAGO @ WINNIPEG | 02/14 | 9:00 PM EST
WINNIPEG -160
ANALYSIS: I feel like I always get Jets games wrong, yet here we are. Winnipeg is pretty solid at home and Connor Hellebuyck is 9-7-1 at home with a 2.66 GAA. It actually might be time for the Hawks to give No. 1 Marc-Andre Fleury a night off in net, but I like Winnipeg regardless. Chicago is 2-8 in its past 10 games.

WEST VIRGINIA @ KANSAS ST. | 02/14 | 7:00 PM EST
KANSAS ST. -170
ANALYSIS: This really isn't so much backing Kansas State as it is fading West Virginia, which is hot garbage on the road. WVU rallied from a 17-point first-half deficit to win 71-68 at home over KSU on Jan. 8, but the Wildcats played without head coach Bruce Weber and 6 players due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols. They are healthy now. It will be only the fifth game this year that the Wildcats will have all 10 healthy scholarship players available.

+170 3-1 IN LAST 4 WVU ML PICKS
12:29 PM
DETROIT @ MINNESOTA | 02/14 | 8:00 PM EST
MINNESOTA -242
ANALYSIS: Really more than I'd like to spend on the Wild, so I'm gonna play this with Jets over Blackhawks; that parlay would pay around +130. If that doesn't interest you, I'd do this in regulation.

BROOKLYN +2
ANALYSIS: The Nets will be getting some reinforcements, looking to end their 11-game losing skid. The Kings shot a season-high 56.6 percent from the field in their victory over Washington. I really like the Nets, who are extremely motivated tonight, in this spot.

CANISIUS @ FAIRFIELD | 02/14 | 7:00 PM EST
FAIRFIELD -6
ANALYSIS: The Fairfield Stags have tumbled to losses in 10 of their last 13 games. In fact, Saturday’s victory over Niagara marked their first home win since Dec. 8. That’s a confidence booster for the Stags, who defeated Canisius 74-68 in December. Take Fairfield to hand Canisius its 14th consecutive road defeat.

SOUTHERN U. @ TEXAS SO. | 02/14 | 8:30 PM EST
TEXAS SO. -150
ANALYSIS: Texas Southern's 11-10 overall record is very misleading because the defending SWAC champion Tigers played an incredibly tough non-conference schedule -- all on the road (did win at Florida). In fact, they have played just five home games but won them all. Southern is 6-10 on the road.
