4 Unit Play. Take Michigan State over Michigan
The Wolverines are a bottom half of the Big 10 team and if they do not make three point shoots, they will be blown out of this game. Michigan State has yet to lose a game on the road in Big 10 play and is 6-0 in true road games this season. Raymar Morgan is questionable but regardless if he plays or not, the Spartans will emerge victories.

7* Wichita State (-6) vs. Missouri State
We see great value in the Shockers as a small home favorite on Tuesday night. Wichita State has won 5 of their last 7 including 4 straight home wins. They lost @Evansville by 9 on Saturday, so this will be a game in which they'll want a bounce-back performance. Despite out-rebounding Evansville by 10, they shot just 2-16 from three-point range. The Shockers are 9-3 at home this season, holding opponents to just 56.7 points per game in their 12 home games. Missouri State has lost 7 straight road games and is just 1-8 on the road this season (all losses coming by a combined 11 points per game).
After starting the season at a promising 7-3, Missouri State has posted just a 3-11 record since late December. In their last 6 road games (all losses), their margins of defeat are 24, 11, 12, 14, 5, and 18 points. They have one of the worst offenses in the nation; shooting an average of 39.1% field goals this season, and 31.3% from three point range. They have just one player averaging over 10 points per game. If Wichita State gets any lead whatsoever, don’t expect to see Missouri State make a comeback.
Wichita State is coming off of that road loss to @Evansville on Saturday, as well as their January 14th road loss @Missouri State. This is a great revenge situation for the Shockers who are playing very good basketball right now, against Missouri State, who has lost 7 of their last 10. Missouri State is just 6-20 ATS in their last 26 road games and 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 meetings @Wichita State. Go with the Shockers at home on Tuesday night.
5* Kentucky (-4) vs. Florida
Kentucky started conference play hot, winning their first 5 games by an average of 14 points per game. Since then, they have lost 3 straight by 5, 1, and 9 points. This is a HUGE game for the Wildcats, who have had a week off since their last game, to get a big win against the SEC’s top team (although probably a little overrated). They are 11-4 at home this season, and we expect them to notch their 12th win at home on Tuesday night.
Kentucky has one of the best offenses in the SEC, scoring 77.5 points per game on 49% field goals (8th nationally). Along with their great offense, they also allow just 37.3% field goals on defense (4th nationally). Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson give the Wildcats one of the best scoring tandems in the nation, scoring a combined 43.4 points per game between the two of them. Florida has a high-octane offense, but we don’t expect them to be able to contain Meeks and Patterson on defense.
The Gators have played just 6 of their 23 games on the road this season and boast just a 3-3 record. Their wins have come against Central Florida, Auburn, and Vanderbilt. They’ve lost against the “more talented” teams they have played; Florida State, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The home team is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings between these two teams and we expect that trend to continue Tuesday. Go with Kentucky
4* Virginia (+11) vs. Florida State
FSU is coming off a big time resume’ building upset @ Clemson on Saturday. It was a huge win for the Noles who rallied from a 19-point second half deficit to grab the close win. They were catching the Tigers in a great spot for a letdown as Clemson had just come off a blowout win over Duke. This team was looking for a “signature win” and now they got it. Leading scorer Toney Douglas knelt at midcourt after the huge come from behind win and stated, “This win is going to go down in history.” Do you think this team is going to be concerned with a 1-7 ACC team just a few days after this monumental win? A UVA team they already beat on the road. No chance. Not only that, FSU takes on Wake Forest this Saturday which will also waver their focus here. A classic sandwich situation for the home team here which will lead to a letdown.
The one thing that stands out to us about this Virginia that is only 1-7 SU in the ACC is they have been fairly competitive in nearly all of their conference games. That’s a good mix for a cover on the road, getting double digits and facing a disinterested FSU team. If you take away the Cavs road game @ Duke where they were dominated, this team has really had a chance in every game. Their road games include a 10-point loss @ Minnesota, a 3-point loss @ Syracuse, a win @ Georgia Tech, a 3-point loss @ Virginia Tech, a 6-point loss @ Maryland and finally last Saturday just a 16-point loss @ North Carolina. The Cavs were down by 20+ @ UNC and battled to the end to close the margin. That’s a good sign for a dog. This team doesn’t quit.
The first match up between these two teams was an 11-point win for FSU on January 24th. Despite shooting only 35% (FSU shot 50%) and a terrible 28% from behind the arc (FSU shot 53% from deep) this game was not a white wash. Against UNC, this Virginia team went with a smaller line up and played zone daring the Heels to shoot from the perimeter. Don’t be surprised if they use the same strategy tonight against a Florida State team that has hit only 29% of its shots from outside the arc in ACC play (11th in the league). As we mentioned, this FSU team hit 53% of their 3-pointers @ Virginia, however that is not their strength and we don’t expect to see that happen again on Tuesday.
We look for FSU to come out flat as a pancake and this to be a close game with a good shot that UVA leads at halftime. The Noles will most likely get it together in the second half at home, but not enough to cover this one. Virginia fights to the end again and gets an easy cover.
7* PLAY UNDER 218.5 Oklahoma City Thunder vs. LA Lakers
This is one of those Total bets that you have to plug your nose to swallow as it’s not going to be a popular play. Take the UNDER in the Oklahoma City vs. LA Lakers game. The Lakers are first in the league in offensive efficiency and average 108 ppg and they’re 4th in the NBA in pace of play with 97 offensive possessions per game. Oklahoma City is 8th in the league in pace of play at 96.1 but they’re 27th in the league in offensive efficiency. Defensively it’s pretty much the same story as these two clubs are at the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to defensive efficiency. The Lakers are 6th in the league while OKC is 25th. So why do we like the UNDER in this game. First off, our highly successful math-model which continues to prove itself projects a Total on this game of just 203 which is a full 15-points less than the number the oddsmakers have posted. The Lakers are coming off a brutal 6 game East Coast road trip which saw them finish up with TWO huge wins over the Celtics and Cavaliers. How motivated will they be tonight facing the Thunder AND they have the Jazz on deck. This number of 218 is simply too high as 19 of the Lakers 27 home games have resulted in less than 218 total points. The oddsmakers have posted Totals on Thunder games higher than tonight’s number of 218 just TWO times this season. Vegas had to set this number this high with the way these two team can play but the Lakers will dictate the tempo, rest starters for tomorrow night and keep this game from turning into a track meet. Easy call with the UNDER.

3*: Boston Bruins -130
Don't see the B's letting Joe Thorton get the best of them tonight in Boston. The Best of the East (arguably) faces the Best of the West (arguably). Great game to watch and it will be close, but Boston gets it done in style. The Sharks are 1-4 on the road against strong teams while the B's are 6-1 in the same position.

3-Unit Play. Take #742 Boston College (+3) over Clemson (9 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10)
The home team has dominated this series, with the host winning all seven games. I think that this is somewhat of a trap for Clemson. They got way up in their blowout of Duke but then lost at home against FSU over the weekend. I think they are a little up-and-down right now and that the Eagles are too good to pass up as a home dog.
4-Unit Play. Take #744 Kentucky (-4) over Florida (9 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10)
The Wildcats have been an up-and-down team all season long and I think that they will be way, way up for this one. Florida is a young team and they are heading to Lexington off a big home win over South Carolina. The home team is 4-0 ATS in this series and Kentucky pulled the upset last March in the last meeting. I think they get the cash in this spot.
3-Unit Play. Take #739 Missouri State (+6) over Wichita State (8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10)
The public is pounding away on the Shockers but I'm not buying. They just aren't a very good team. Missouri State has actually won five of the last six meetings between these teams, including a 13-point win by the Bears over the Shockers just last month. I think we're in for another surprise in the MVC.
2.5-Unit Play. Take #723 Providence (+1) over South Florida (8 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10)
South Florida is in a prime letdown spot after their big upset over Marquette on Friday. This is still the same Bulls that lost to St. John's by 17 points just a few days before that though. Providence has won four straight in this series and they should take this one.
2-Unit Play. Take #719 Michigan State (-4) over Michigan (7 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 10)
Michigan put up a good fight against the Huskies on Saturday but didn't get it done. Now they are matched up against a hot Spartans squad. Michigan State has dominated this series recently. They have won seven of the last nine meetings and won by 15 or more points in three of their last four victories over their rivals. Tom Izzo has his team playing tough on the road. They have won eight straight games away from home. They are 7-1 ATS in those games and I think they keep it going.

Tuesday NBA Opinion
New York (+4) over GOLDEN STATE
Golden State is coming off an impressive win over Utah, but the Warriors are just 12-43-1 ATS following their last 56 victories and 3-22 straight up following their last 25 wins. My ratings favor Golden State by just 3 points in this game and I’ll lean with New York plus the points.
Tuesday College Opinions
HOFSTRA (+1 ½) over Old Dominion
Old Dominion beat me on Saturday, but the Monarchs are still just 18-41-1 ATS in conference games following a conference win when facing a decent team (i.e. a team with a win percentage of .444 or higher), including 12-36-1 ATS when not an underdog of more than 3 points. Tonight ODU is giving a point or two to a Hofstra team that is 12-4 ATS since 2003 as a home underdog or pick (2-0 this season). My ratings call this game even and I’ll lean with Hofstra at pick or as a dog.
BOSTON COLLEGE (+3 ½) over Clemson
Clemson applies to a negative 45-122-2 ATS situation tonight that is based on their upset loss to Florida State, and my ratings favor Clemson by just 1 ½ points in this game. However, Boston College has a long history of playing worse at home than they do on the road and they actually don’t have a home court edge at all. But, I would still favor Clemson by only 3 points even with zero home court advantage for the Eagles (using only games against decent teams). I’d be on Boston College as a Best Bet here if they were fully healthy, but Rakim Sanders is questionable with an injured risk and his defense alone is worth a point per game. Tyrese Rice, the Eagles star player, is also not 100% after injuring his calf on Saturday (although he’s probable to play). I’ll lean with Boston College, but I’ll resist making the Eagles a Best Bet due to the questionable status of Sanders.
