Priceless Picks
1 Unit on Denver -2.5
The Denver Nuggets are a solid 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games as a favorite and 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400. That's almost enough to have me making a small wager on them already. Memphis ' lack of production in this spot makes our side even a little bit stronger. The Grizzlies are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a home underdog of 0.5-4.5 and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog period. The Nuggets are 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Lay the points on Denver .

Villanova +7' at PITTSBURGH
Take the points tonight with Villanova, as the Wildcats look for a rebound effort after losing by 10 at home over the weekend to Notre Dame. 'Nova is struggling right now, as they have dropped their last pair, and 4 of their last 7 straight up. Jay Wright will need his team to come up with a solid effort tonight, win-or-lose, and the Wildcats do always seem to play the Panthers tight.
Pitt was stunned at home over the weekend against a bad Rutgers team for their first home loss of the year! Maybe the Panthers rash of injuries is finally starting to catch up with them?
These schools met earlier this month with the game being a nip-and-tuck affair the whole 40 minutes, Villanova prevailing by a point! That makes 3 of the last 5 meetings having gone in the favor of the visitors from the Main Line.
We think the points will work this evening.
Play on 'Nova!

Take the underdog Wildcats tonight as Kansas State looks to hand the Jayhawks their first loss of the season.
Kansas stands at 20-0 straight up, and the rock-chalkers have had their way with their in-state rival, taking the last 4 series meetings, and 9 of the last 10 in conference play.
Chances of another KU win seem strong, but this is about as good of a K-State team as they have had in years, and Michael Beasley is a flat-out stud who is capable of keeping the 'Cats inside of this impost, especially at home.
Kansas State is 10-1 straight up at home, and 4-1 against the spread in lined home games. The only other time they were catching points at home, they walked away with the outright win over Texas A&M.
Outright win tonight? Maybe, but with the points the G-Man loves the Wildcats.
4* KANSAS STATE
Wunderdog Comp
Kansas at Kansas State
Pick: Kansas -7
The last two unbeaten teams in the Big 12 clash tonight when #2 Kansas heads to Manhattan to face off against #22 Kansas State. The Jayhawks ARE as good as they appear. They have won 34 out of 35, dating back to last season. They have four players averaging double-digit scoring and are extremely balanced with seven different players laying claim to a game in which they led the team in scoring. The Jayhawks have some added motivation tonight. Prior to the season starting, K-State's Michael Beasley said, "We're going to beat Kansas at home. We're going to beat them in their house. We're going to beat them in Africa. Wherever we play,we're going to beat them." Think the Jayhawks will be pumped to lay one on the Wildcats tonight? We do. Kansas hasn't lost in Manhattan for 24 years and they have lost just once vs. Kansas State int he past 36 mettings. The Jayhawks are 8-2 ATS this season vs. winning teams and with the motivation provided by Beasley, and a perfect record on the line,we like them to win and cover here.

3* on Bucks/76ers UNDER 186
The last meeting between the Bucks and 76ers back on January 8th of this year resulted in an 87-83 road win for Milwaukee. Just a combined 170 points were scored in that contest. Ever since losing Kyle Korver to the Jazz, the 76ers have become more of a defensive ball club that doesn’t have any big-name shooters from the outside. Philly is scoring just 92.8 points per game over their last 5 games. Milwaukee is scoring just 92 points a game on the road. Milwaukee’s last road game resulted in just a combined 167 points against New Jersey just last night. Philly is 14-6 UNDER versus poor pressure defensive teams forcing less than 14 turnovers/game this season. This won’t be an good game for the offensive-minded to watch tonight. Bet the UNDER 186 points.

Massachusetts @ Duquesne
PICK: Duquesne
Offered at: -5.5
REASON FOR PICK: 4* DUQUESNE over MASSACHUSETTS
How many times are we going to be able to go to the well with the Dukes? As long as the marketplace continues to not pay proper heed. So once again we can step in with an under-valued side that continues to do so many things right in so many ways, and this time we get the ideal opponent to exploit on the road, a Massachusetts team that plays much faster than they should.
Duquesne is for real. The Dukes have tremendous depth and chemistry (eight players are scoring at least 7.4 points per game, an example of each trait), and are nationally rated in several unrelated categories – they are #3 in blocked shots per game; #4 in assists; and #9 in steals. That shows a real presence all over the floor, and because of the way that their depth wears down the opposition, and the fact that they are knocking down their free throws at a 73.6 percent clip, they are not an easy team to chase from behind. That makes this the ideal pointspread category in which to use them, and in tonight’s setting we should absolutely get their “A” game – having coasted past St. Bonaventure and George Washington in the first two games of this home stand, the physical and mental energy should be at as high of a level as they have been all season.
We can not say the same about the Minutemen. Their last two games were a road revenge affair at St. Joseph’s and that Sunday home showdown vs. Xavier, and we take two things forward from the sequence – first, that matching the Duquesne intensity will not be easy; second, that failures in each of those games also tells us about where Travis Ford’s team is. They have some athleticism, but execute erratically on the floor, particularly in terms of shot selection. Their insistence on pushing the tempo plays right into the hands of the Dukes (remember back to the 4* ticket that we cashed with Vanderbilt against UMass for similar reasons three weeks ago, when the Commodores exploded for 97 points), who will ultimately use their superior defense and basketball smarts to break this one open.
With the Total hovering in the 169 range, this is a “short” -5.5 to lay, and by now you should all know what that means – the high number of possessions lessens the amount of actual dominance the favorite needs to cover the spread. To take it a step further, with the current Side/Total in the marketplace the oddsmakers are only calling for the Dukes to score 51.6 percent of the total projected points (if we use 87-81.5 as the base). We expect much more control of the proceedings than that.
