Toronto Maple Leafs @ Philadelphia Flyers
Pick: 1 unit Philadelphia Flyers -154
Member Pick: Play ON Philadelphia Flyers $ line (-) vs Toronto @ 7:05 ET The Flyers are coming off of a ridiculous loss last night. They led 3-0 early in the third period but allowed Toronto to rally back and win the game in overtime. That leaves the Flyers in a foul mood and they will most assuredly take advantage of this opportunity at quick revenge as they get the Maple Leafs in Philly for a rematch on the very next night. Last night, the Flyers simply made the mistake of counting the win before it was in the books and, ultimately, Toronto made them pay for this. Note that Philly is now 5-1-2 in their last eight games as, after a tough stretch, the Flyers have now earned points in 7 of their last 8 games. They wont let this opportunity pass them by tonight as its payback time!

1 Unit on San Antonio Spurs +1.5
The Spurs rebounded from back-to-back defeats with a big win over Denver Monday. This is a big time division game tonight, and San Antonio will show the Hornets that it is still the team to beat in the Southwest. The Spurs are 11-3 SU and 10-3-1 ATS in their last 14 road games against the Hornets. The Spurs are 4-1 SU and ATS at New Orleans the past 3 seasons. The Road team is a staggering 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. With Parker being one of the few guards which can match Chris Paul's quickness, New Orleans' point guard is not going to be able to get anything easy tonight. The Spurs have really kicked things in high gear, winning 16 of their last 19 games. Take San Antonio to keep rolling here.

Rhode Island vs. NC Charlotte
Play: Rhode Island
We have a quick turnaround revenge spot for Rhode Island tonight. In the regular season finale, the 49ers went to Rhode Island and took out the Rams by 10 points and while it was a solid win, it was more fortunate than anything else. Charlotte shot just 38.3 percent from the floor but 48 percent from long range, nailing 12 three-pointers. The Rams only made three while shooting a dismal 14.3 percent. Charlotte is only shooting 35.1 percent for the season so if ever there was an aberration, that was it.
You can definitely make an argument that Charlotte comes in as the hotter teams as it has won three straight while Rhode Island has dropped six of its last seven games. The loss to the 49ers dropped Rhode Island off the bubble meaning it likely has to win this tournament to get an invite to the Big Dance. Charlotte’s only shot is similar so this is an equally big game for both sides but it comes down to matchups and that is where the Rams have the advantages.
Rhode Island has a rebounding margin of +2.9 rpg on the season compared to -0.8 rpg for the 49ers. Kahiem Seawright grabbed 15 rebounds in the loss on Saturday and that was his 5th straight games that he has recorded double-digit totals in rebounds. The team dominated down low in that final game and a similar effort this time around should propel the Rams to a win. The difference last game was second leading scorer Jimmy Baron, who went 1-9, including 0-8 from long range, and scored only two points.
The offense is better than what was on display against Charlotte. The Rams went eight minutes without a field goal against the 49ers down the stretch in the second half and that was obviously the difference as they were outscored by 13 points in the half. So far this year, the Rams are averaging 15.2 apg on 29.0 field goals per game which is an assist percentage of 52.4 percent. This year, in games with 14 or more assists, Rhode Island is 15-3. Charlotte allows 16 apg on the road this season.
That long range debacle in the last game actually sets the Rams up in a great situation here. Play on all teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are shooting between 45 and 47.5 percent going up against a team allowing between 40 and 42.5 percent after 15 or more games, after a game where they made 20 percent or worse of their three-point shots. This situation is 39-17 ATS (69.6 percent) over the last five seasons. The Rams keep their slim hopes alive with a win tonight. Play Rhode Island Rams 1 Unit

Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh
Play: Pittsburgh
Pittsburgh -8.5 It is obvious that this young Cincinnati team has packed things in for the season. They played with no intensity or emotion in their blowout loss at Connecticut. Now they have to face a Pittsburgh squad who thrives in the Big East tournament. The Panthers played for a big part of the season without starting point guard, Levance Fields. He is the key to their offense. Pittsburgh has begun to show signs of the team from earlier in the season. The Panthers also need this game to solidify their place in the NCAA tournament in addition to getting a better seed. Pittsburgh is too talented, and they need this game too much for Cincinnati to keep it close. Pittsburgh has made it to six of the last seven Big East tournament championships. Head coach Jamie Dixon knows how to get through this tournament, and Cincinnati will be their first victim. The Panthers will destroy the Bearcats, winning by close to 20 points.

Tulane vs. Marshall
Play: Under
Ai Simulator 3* graded play UNDER Tulane/Marshall – AiS shows a 72% probability that 130 or fewer points will be scored in this game. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 42-10 UNDER since 1997. Play under with neutral court teams where the total is between 130 and 139.5 points in a game involving 2 slow-down teams attempting <=55 shots/game after 15+ games and in a game involving two average rebounding teams sporting a +/-3 rpg differential on the season. This system is already a perfect 6-0 on the season and my research clearly shows this will be win #7. Tulane had lost 8 straight games until they defeated East Carolina by just 2 points and were installed as a 9.5 point favorite. These losing ways actually place them into several solid roles for the UNDER to win the money. Tulane is 13-4 UNDER when playing only their 2nd game in a week this season; 9-1 UNDER (+7.9 Units) after having lost 4 of their last 5 games over the last 3 seasons; 7-1 UNDER in road games after a game where they failed to cover the spread this season. Take the UNDER
Erik Scheponik
Colorado State vs. Wyoming
Play: Wyoming
Long season marred by offseason attrition, youth, and injuries comes to end for the Rams today. They have to play this one without big C Creason in the middle, and quite frankly the Cowboys, even with their poor outside shooting (29% 3FG in conf. play) own every other advantage in the game. Wyoming won both meetings by double digits during the regular season and that was with Creason in the lineup for CSU. They are off of a loss, and that's a nice little starting angle when laying points in conference tourney openers. Price looks just a bit short, especially when the Rams backup C, Aguilar is limited due to injury as well. Cowboys will own the boards here. Wyoming by 10

1* on Atlanta Hawks +6
The Atlanta Hawks are 8-2 straight up in their last 10 home meetings with the Houston Rockets. The Hawks have won 3 straight home games over Houston as well. This is a scary game for the Rockets as they try to extend their winning streak to 19 games. This will be Houston’s toughest test in 8 games where they have played 7 of their last 8 contests at home. Now they hit the road against a very hungry Hawks’ squad that is fighting for their playoff lives in the Eastern Conference. Houston is 4-14 ATS after a game where they made 50% of their 3 point shots or better over the last 3 seasons. Atlanta is great defensively and will limit the open 3-point looks the Rockets have become accustomed to. The 19-game winning streak ends tonight. Take Atlanta and the points.

1 Unit on New York Knicks -2
With the Heat shutting Wade down for the year, it's going to get even worse for Miami. Miami is 6-25 SU in home games this season and just 8-22-1 ATS. NY is an incredible 24-10 ATS at Miami since 1996. The Heat are 9-22 ATS revenging a straight up loss vs. an opponent as a favorite over the last 2 seasons, 0-8 ATS in home games against Atlantic division opponents this season, and 1-11 ATS in a home game where the total is between 190 and 199.5 points this season. The Knicks have been struggling, but they will take advantage of a golden opportunity to get back in the win column against a down and out Heat squad.

3* on Sonics/Celtics UNDER 203
The Sonics and Celtics will play tonight in a low scoring affair with a combined score of UNDER 200 points. Boston is giving up just 88.7 points per game at home. The Celtics are yielding just 86.8 points per game over their last 5 games. Seattle just played Indiana last night and we don’t expect the Sonics to post more than 80 points in their second game of a back-to-back. Especially against the league’s best defense in Boston. Seattle is 23-13 UNDER when the total is greater than or equal to 200 this season. Seattle is 15-5 UNDER versus good foul drawing teams - attempting more than 27 free throws/game this season. Boston is 50-27 UNDER in home games versus poor pressure defensive teams - forcing less than 14 turnovers/game - 2nd half of the season since 1996. Bet the UNDER 203 points.

1 Unit on Seattle +17.5
I think the oddsmakers have gotten a little carried away here with this line. With Boston taking on the Jazz Friday, I expect them to get caught looking ahead here and come out a little flat. The Sonics are 39-19 ATS in road games after 3 or more consecutive losses since 1996. Boston is just 3-13 ATS in home games after scoring 100 points or more 2 straight games over the last 3 seasons. The SuperSonics are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater and 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games as a road underdog. The Celtics are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games as a home favorite of 11.0 or greater. The Underdog is an impressive 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. Take the points.
