Selection: Utah Jazz -13

The Utah Jazz have the much better offense. The Utah Jazz (at home) are scoring an average of 107.5 points per game, while the Charlotte Bobcats (on the road) are scoring an average of only 92 points per game. As you can see, the Utah Jazz have the much better offense.

Take the Utah Jazz -13

This is a big statement game for an Orlando team that is on a 9-2-1 spread run their last 12 at home. Can the Magic step up, and handle one of the best of the west?
I don't think they can.
After a miserable stretch, San Antonio has righted their ship, as the Spurs have won and covered their last 3 games. San Antone has also won and covered the last pair of series meetings, and is 7-3 overall the last 10 times they have faced the Magic, 6-4 against the spread.
In what amounts to pretty much a pick'em game, I have to side with the proven commodity in this one
Take San Antonio to come through on the road in this one.

Florida has been impressive in the first two rounds of the NIT, but let's be honest, the Gators have played absolutely nobody in those two. Arizona State has been just as impressive and beat a good Southern Illinois last time out, 65-51 as a 5 1/2-point home favorite.
The key to this one is it's in Arizona. The Gators have to fly across the country and will be playing an inspired team that is looking to prove it belonged in the Big Dance. The Sun Devils felt snubbed by the committee, especially since rival Arizona got in, and is looking to prove people wrong.
Arizona State is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight overall while Florida is just 4-9 ATS in its last 13 overall and that's with the two easy wins over San Diego State and Creighton. These aren't the same Gators that won the title two years in a row and we have to remember their four-game losing streak to end the season that basically kept them from the Big Dance.
The Sun Devils are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games and look for a 10-point win from them tonight. Play Arizona State to punch its ticket to New York City as one of the final four teams in the NIT.

Atlanta has been on an uptick now that Mike Bibby is running the point for the Hawks, and we are interested in taking the points in this battle against Chicago.
The Hawks have won and covered 4 of their last 5 games, while the Bulls enter tonight's battle having dropped 6 of their last 8 straight up, while failing in 4 of their last 5 against the spread.
Atlanta is currently holding down the 8th and final playoff spot in the eastern conference, as we expect them to play a close on tonight against the slumping Bulls.
Chicago is just 14-20 against the spread at home this year. Make that 14-21 after they fail the spot once again this evening.
Play on the Hawks.

After dropping back-to-back home games, this is a perfect bounce back spot for the Bulls, which have had 3 days to prepare for Atlanta. Chicago is a perfect 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS at home versus the Hawks the past 3 seasons and 8-1 SU and 6-3 ATS in all games versus the Hawks the last 3 seasons. Atlanta is just 9-26 on the road this season and only 14-21 ATS in those games. Atlanta is 11-20 ATS as a road underdog this season and 2-10 ATS in road games after covering 2 of their last 3 against the spread this season. Chicago is 22-12 ATS after having lost 4 or 5 of their last 6 games this season. Lay the points.

Lay the points with Syracuse tonight when they take on Massachusetts in the quarterfinals of the NIT.
Sure, U Mass beat the Orange back in November by a 107-100 count. But that was when a few of Syracuse's key freshmen were still getting their feet wet.
Now, Donte Greene and Jonny Flynn are much more assertive of their place on the team. Both are capable of taking this game over and it also helps that Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is apparently taking this tournament seriously.
Massachusetts has been living from the perimeter, leading the A-10 in 3-point attempts and they could be hard-pressed to hit another 14 from beyond the arc like they did back in November.
The Minutemen have struggled defensively on the road this season, allowing 80.9 ppg.
Take Syracuse minus the points as they grab the win and cover.
