TOLEDO @ RICHMOND | 03/17 | 7:00 PM EDT
TOLEDO +1.5
ANALYSIS: NIT -- Toledo was the best MAC team all season and then ran into a hot Ohio squad, which is dancing in the NCAA Tournament. Surely disappointing, but the Rockets are going to take this as a challenge. They went an incredible 20-9 ATS this season. Richmond comes in with a three-game losing streak. The quick exit from the Atlantic 10 tournament was preceded by a horrible loss to St. Joseph’s as a 14.5-point favorite. Toledo is the play.

TOLEDO @ RICHMOND | 03/17 | 7:00 PM EDT
TOLEDO -1.5
ANALYSIS: NIT first-round game from Texas. Toledo was the MAC's best team in the regular season by a wide margin but was upset in the conference tournament. It has the MAC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year and is ranked No. 62 nationally by KenPom. Richmond is No. 65 65 via KenPom and very likely to be without its two leading scorers, Blake Francis and Grant Golden, due to injury. They combine for nearly 29 points per game. If they indeed both sit, this shouldn't even be close.
W. KENTUCKY @ SAINT MARY'S | 03/17 | 9:00 PM EDT
SAINT MARY'S -2
ANALYSIS: Couple reasons why we will back No. 2 seed Saint Mary's over No. 3 Western Kentucky in this NIT matchup from Texas. First, KenPom ranks the Gaels at No. 75 overall and the Hilltoppers at No. 94. Second, WKU will be without power forward Carson Williams because he has an NFL pro day coming up. As far as I can tell, Williams didn't play football at WKU, but at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds maybe he thinks he has a future as an NFL tight end. Williams is averaging 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 27 minutes per game and had started all of them.

BOSTON @ CLEVELAND | 03/17 | 8:00 PM EDT
BOSTON -9
ANALYSIS: The Cavaliers have lost each of their three games post-All Star Break by at least 15 points. In their first matchup with Boston, the final was 141-103, Celtics. Both teams played last night. The Celtics are now 0-8 against the NBA's top five teams after Tuesday's tough home loss to Utah, but they should be able to hammer the Cavs. Lay the points.

BROOKLYN @ INDIANA | 03/17 | 7:00 PM EDT
BROOKLYN -3
ANALYSIS: The Pacers are only 7-11 at home this season, including 6-12 ATS. Overall, they are just 1-8 ATS over their last nine games. On the other hand, the Nets have won 13 of their last 14 contests, including a 10-point home victory against these same Pacers. Expect Brooklyn to have similar success in their rematch.
SACRAMENTO @ WASHINGTON | 03/17 | 7:00 PM EDT
WASHINGTON -2.5
ANALYSIS: Just when it looked like the Wizards were going to make a push for a playoff spot, they have now lost six of their last seven games. However, they have had a brutal schedule with the losses coming against the Celtics, Grizzlies (twice), Sixers and Bucks (twice). This should be an easier matchup against the Kings, who have lost seven of their last eight games on the road. During that eight-game stretch, they went 1-6-1 ATS, as well.

SAN JOSE @ VEGAS | 03/17 | 10:00 PM EDT
VEGAS -235
ANALYSIS: The Knights have won three games in a row and they are 11-2-1 at home this season. The Sharks are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games and they are 0-4 against the Golden Knights this season, including losses in seven of their last eight. Robin Lehner is back from injury and Marc Andre Fleury has a GAA under 2. Take the Golden Knights at home.

MILWAUKEE @ PHILADELPHIA | 03/17 | 7:00 PM EDT
MILWAUKEE -6
ANALYSIS: Philadelphia has been good in the three games Joel Embiid (knee) missed this week, but even with those three wins, the 76ers are still under .500 this season with Embiid out of the lineup. Embiid has always been the key to matching up with the Bucks for Philadelphia. Without him it is unlikely the Sixers can handle the Bucks' interior presence well here. Philadelphia has won six straight games with the last three coming as a favorite. The Sixers are 0-11 ATS (-9.09 ppg) when they won their last two games as favorites in each game.

UNDER 6
ANALYSIS: These teams combined for only five goals Monday in Ottawa, and it took overtime to get there. In my model simulations, better than 60 percent of results in Wednesday's rematch stay Under the total of 6 goals. The Under is 5-0-1 in the Canucks' past six overall.
