Joel Tyson
Phoenix (+5) at BOSTON
Take the points here tonight as the Suns look to avenge their loss they suffered last time out. Prior to the loss the Suns had collected seven straight wins to climb right back in the hunt for the top spot in the playoffs for the West. The Celtics head into tonight losers of two straight. The road team has had the success lately grabbing the cash in this series lately as the visitors have covered seven times in the last 11 meetings. The Suns won the first match up of the year between the two 85-77, and I feel this one will be fun to watch as it will be close. The Suns have averaged 115.0 ppg over their last five, while Boston’s average has dropped to 95.4 ppg over their last five. Play the Suns to stay within.

Dayton +8 at OHIO STATE
We rolled with Dayton two nights ago, we come back with it catching points once again. As I told you the other night, when the Flyers won outright over Illinois State, the Flyers had the highest RPI’s in the country of teams that did not make the major-tournament field – 32 – thanks to a strength of schedule that ranked No. 33 and a 9-6 record against teams in the top 100.
So facing a team of Ohio State’s caliber is nothing for us, as the Flyers won five games against tourney-teams Louisville, American, Pittsburgh, Temple and Saint Joseph's. The Flyers haven’t slowed down one bit in the postseason, and the Buckeyes better be careful, otherwise they’ll be watching the remainder of this event from the stands.

Houston at TULSA -3'
Tonight we will lay the points in the CBI with the revenging Golden Hurricane.
Houston just beat Tulsa back on February 6th, 92-81 at Houston, and the Cougars have won all 4 series meetings dating back to 1997, covering in all 4. Included is a 69-67 win at Tulsa back on January 20th, 2007.
Tulsa is in prime revenge form right now, as the Hurricane is 15-2 straight up at home this year, 13-3 against the spread their last 16 as the host, and 12-2 overall their last 14 against the spread!
Prior to the Cougars opening round road win at Nevada, Tom Penders' team had lost their last 5 (conference tourney game included) on the highway.
We will side with the host minus the small impost in this spot.
Play on Tulsa.

Houston +3' at TULSA
We're going to grab the points with the road warrior Houston Cougars in this matchup as they've gone 10-4 ATS in their last 14 on the highway and already own a road win in this tourney, traveling to Nevada for an 80-79 win over the WolfPack as four-point 'dogs.
After that win the Cougars got a home game Monday against Valparaiso and ran away with that one 91-67 as an 8 1/2-point favorite. It's been the offense lately that is getting the job done for Houston as they've averaged 80.4 points a game in the last five.
Houston's Rob McKiver and Kelvin Lewis make a formidable twosome to try and stop for any club.
And these teams are not strangers to each other having met each of the last three seasons. Houston has won all three games SU and ATS. Back on Feb. 6 they squared off in Houston with the Cougars getting the 92-81 win as eight-point favorites. Last season the Cougars went to Tulsa and won 69-67 as a 3 1/2-point 'dog. And in 2006 Houston blew out Tulsa 73-46 as a 13 1/2-point favorite.
Go ahead and grab the points but don't be surprised when the Cougars pull off the outright upset. Houston has the high-powered offense the Golden Hurricane just isn't going to be able to stop.

Memphis at SACRAMENTO
Play ON: SACRAMENTO minus the points
Like in Monday's win with New Jersey over New York, we're not talking playoff implications here but there is definitely a motivational edge to the home team here. Sacramento catches Memphis in that dreaded NBA revenge sandwich situation in which Sacto is playing with revenge and Memphis is coming off a revenge game with revenge next. That idea by itself will get you more winners than losers, but there is more - A LOT MORE! Since Sacramento has NEVER lost three straight times to Memphis and, since Memphis is 0-13 SU in its last 13 road games against .400 or better opposition, we're calling for a SU Sacramento win. That's where the numbers go to work. The Kings are a sensational 68-3 ATS in their last 71 revenge wins, including a PERFECT 41-0 ATS when coming off a loss and a PERFECT 33-0 ATS when playing with double revenge. Both perfect situations apply here. KING ME!

Matchup: Minnesota vs. Houston
Selection: Minnesota/Houston Over 194
Explanation: We expect a high-scoring game as the Minnesota Timberwolves face-off against the Houston Rockets in Wednesday's NBA contest.
Both these teams have been playing very poor defense as of late. This says it all... The Minnesota Timberwolves (in their last 5 games) are allowing opponents to score an average of 101.6 points per game, while the Houston Rockets (in their last 5 games) are allowing opponents to score an average of 102.4 points per game. We see both these teams struggling again tonight on defense. That means we should see a lot of points scored.
These teams have a history of scoring many points when they meet. In fact, the Over is 3-1 in the last four meetings between these teams.
Over! Over! Over!
Minnesota Timberwolves/Houston Rockets Over 194

Selection: Memphis Grizzlies +10
Today the Memphis Grizzlies will be on the road as they take on the Sacramento Kings. We will grab the points with the Memphis Grizzlies! The Sacramento Kings might be the better overall team, however, they are not 10-points better. In fact, the Memphis Grizzlies have had success against the Sacramento Kings. This is shown by the Memphis Grizzlies being 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings against the Sacramento Kings We will lay the points with the team that has proven they can beat the Sacramento Kings! Take the Memphis Grizzlies +10

Game: New York Yankees at Philadelphia
Pick: Philadelphia +117
Brett Myers will face Chien Ming Wang this afternoon. Myers has had a brilliant spring pitching to a 1.64 ERA, and has not walked a single batter through 11 innings of work. Wang has really struggled this spring as indicated by his inflated 8.44 ERA. Wang has not been sharp at all, walking six hitters in 10.2 innings and allowing 15 hits. Like the favorable matchup here and will back the home dog Phillies to get one today.
Game: Texas at San Diego
Pick: Texas +115
It will be Vincente Padilla against Jake Peavy today as both starters work for the last time this spring. Padilla has been as sharp as any pitcher this spring, as he has yet to be scored upon, and the Rangers have won five of their last seven. Peavy has had no success this spring as he has allowed 19 hits in 12.1 innings as well as six walks and a couple of HRs. His spring ERA stands at 8.76. Favorable matchup for the dog here, and we'll ride the Rangers.
Game: Arizona at Colorado
Pick: Arizona +116
Jeff Francis squares off against Hector Ambriz. Both pitchers have pitched well this spring, but we like the Diamondback bats, which have produced 45 runs over the last six games vs. the Rockies' pitching that has allowed 45 runs over their last seven.
