KNOCKOUT PUNCH OF THE DAY
NY-KNICKS OVER 206 -120
Pre-game Comment: The Knicks host the Rockets tonight knowing they have lost 8-straight to Houston including a 20-point ass whoopin' just 16 days ago. However, the line opened soft for a reason and I will not ignore it. The Knicks are flying high with confidence and playing hard and I love their chances to get revenge for that thrashing they took just a little more than 2 weeks ago!!
OTHER PICKS
OKLAHOMA STATE +4 -120
Pre-game Comment: So you have the #6 team in the country riding a 7-game winning streak playing a team they have owned recently and a team that has lost 2 of their last 3 and are only laying 1.5 at the open? I don't think so! OSU matches up really well here and as good as the OU defense is OSU has the ability to soften the D with their great 3-point shooting. If they hit the 3's it will lead to many easier hoops in the paint. Even if this game stays close the advantage goes to OSU because they are the better FT shooting team. With the public pounding OU and the line now up to 3.5 I will take the points.
OKLAHOMA CITY ML -115
Pre-game Comment: I will back OKC tonight as they look to redeem themselves for an OT loss just 2 short weeks ago. OKC has won 16 of their L19 when playing host to the Nets.
NEW ORLEANS -3
Pre-game Comment: The only question I need to ask is WHY is New Orleans the fave when they are banged up and hosting a healthy and red-hot 76ers team that has won 8 of their L9? The answer is simple - this team is deep and possesses a ton of balance!! Tonight they cool of the 6ers!!
MARQUETTE +3
Pre-game Comment: On Saturday we watched UConn snap Notre Dame's 46-game home win streak and now tonight we get the public riding the Irish on the basis that they rebound strong and can't drop 2 straight at home. Well folks, these are the story lines that make Vegas rich(er)!!

2 Star Selection
**OKLAHOMA STATE (+2 ½) over Oklahoma
Both of these teams have a history of playing better at home than they do on the road and I don’t mind taking the host Cowboys tonight given that they apply to a very good 125-42-4 ATS situation. Oklahoma State has performed better at home (3-2 ATS) than they have on the road (1-2 ATS) and that has been the case over the years as the Cowboys are 105-88-4 ATS in Stillwater since 1990 and only 83-96-5 ATS on the road. Oklahoma, meanwhile, is 19-12-1 ATS at home in 3 seasons under Jeff Capel, but just 7-15-2 ATS on the road. My ratings favor Oklahoma by 2.8 points using a standard home court advantage, but the opening line of Sooners by 2 points is more fair given the additional home court value in this game. The line is more than fair and the situation is good, and I’ll take Oklahoma State in a 2-Star Best Bet at +2 points or more.
College Opinion
Marquette (+3) over NOTRE DAME
Notre Dame has been exposed as nothing more than a borderline NCAA tournament team, as the Irish have gone just 3-4 in Big East play (2-5 ATS) with consecutive convincing losses to Louisville, Syracuse, and Connecticut. Marquette, meanwhile, started the season playing below expectations, but the Eagles have picked up their level of play and are riding a 9 game win streak heading into tonight’s game. Notre Dame being favored by 3 points can be justified using all games for each team, but I favor Marquette by 3 points using only games against decent competition and I’d be on the Eagles if not for the fact that the Irish are 8-0-1 ATS after 3 or more consecutive losses under coach Mike Brey.
