UNDER 240
PHILADELPHIA @ GOLDEN ST. | 1/31 | 10:30 PM EST
Both these teams have made a living scoring points, the Warriors rank No. 1 in the NBA in ppg, the Sixers No. 4. But 240 points for a total here is high, way too high according to my computer simulations. The Under safely hits nearly 70 percent of the time, with an average score nearly 10 points under the current over-under. Go Under.
37-20 IN LAST 57 NBA PICKS | +1540
6-4 IN LAST 10 GS O/U PICKS | +169
PURDUE -6
PURDUE @ PENN ST. | 1/31 | 7:00 PM EST
YESTERDAY 10:28 PM
My numbers see the powerful Boilermakers beating Penn State by 10 points Thursday and covering the spread in nearly 65 percent of simulations. The downtrodden Lions are still seeking their first Big Ten win and are coming off a home loss to Rutgers. They lack the size and playmakers to hang with Purdue. Lay the points.
11-7-1 IN LAST 19 CBB ATS PICKS | +327

INDIANA +3
INDIANA @ ORLANDO | 1/31 | 7:00 PM EST
The Pacers have fallen apart without Victor Oladipo, losing three in a row, to the Grizzlies, by 32 to the Warriors and by 18 last night to the Wizards. This this is a good spot for a rebound against a Magic team that's lost seven of eight. Orlando has covered just twice in 10 tries as a home favorite, and my projections are calling for a straight-up Indiana win here. Take the Pacers and the points.
37-20 IN LAST 57 NBA PICKS | +1540
2-1 IN LAST 3 ORL ATS PICKS | +89
BROOKLYN +7.5
BROOKLYN @ SAN ANTONIO | 1/31 | 8:30 PM EST
The Spurs are 18-9 against the spread at home this season, among the best in the NBA. But this is too many points against a Nets team that's won six of seven -- and they covered in their one defeat (at Boston). My projections expect a close game decided in the final minute -- take Brooklyn with the points.
37-20 IN LAST 57 NBA PICKS | +1540
12-7 IN LAST 19 SA ATS PICKS | +435
3-0 IN LAST 3 BKN ATS PICKS | +300

I really like the total in this basketball game and I think it will play Under the posted 208 points...these two teams played just a few days ago and Dallas came away with a hard fought 106-101 W and I see a very similiar style game here...Dallas picked up a rare road win last night, just their fifth of the season...tough spot here for the Mavs in my opinion...the Under is 9-1 in Dallas last 10 vs the East and 7-0 for the Pistons vs the West...someone is going to score Under 100 here...I like the Under
Matchup: 577 Philadelphia at 578 Golden State
Time: 10:35 PM EDT (Thu)
Play: Golden State (-9.5 -110)

I really like the Golden State Warriors at home in this game vs the Philadelphia 76ers...this is a lot of points to be laying vs a good Philly team however, I believe the Warriors will win easily...this is a big game for both teams, a measuring stick for the Sixers and a game the Warriors want to prove one of the best teams in the East is no match...the Warriors streak is up to 11 straight and the matchups are great in this game...should be a physical game and D.Green should return...look for plenty of aggressive play from both teams...Warriors have won 10 straight meetings and Philly just 12-13 on the road...I like Golden State

Oskeim Sports Ultra-rare NCAA Basketball MAAC Conference Game Of The Year
Marist +1.5
Marist is one of the most experienced teams in the nation as first-year head coach John Dunne inherited a senior class that scored 62 percent of the Red Foxes' points last season, together with their top seven in minutes played. Meanwhile, Iona was once again expected to contend for the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference title this season but injuries have depleted the Gaels chances of making a postseason run. Senior forward Roland Griffin, who averaged 11.2 points and 5.2 rebounds in 2017-18, is sidelined with an injury. Junior transfer Isaiah Ross, who averaged 11.3 points per game at UMKC in 2017-18, has yet to see the floor this season for the Gaels. Iona's lack of defense has been its downfall this year as the Gaels are allowing 82.6 points per game to teams that would combine to average just 71.9 points per game against a mediocre stop unit. The Gaels are 2-11 SU and 1-11 ATS on the road this season where they are yielding 85.0 points per game on 46.7 percent shooting from the field. Iona is allowing opponents to make 37.9 percent of their three-pointers, which is good news for a Marist squad that is converting 37.7 percent of its three-point field goal attempts this season. From a technical standpoint, Iona is a money-burning 5-15 ATS in its last 20 games overall, including 3-8 ATS in its previous eleven games following a loss and 3-10 ATS in its last thirteen affairs after failing to cover the Vegas number. Finally, my math model actually favors Marist by 1.51 points in this game so we are getting excellent value on the home underdog. Grab the available point(s) with the Red Foxes and invest with confidence. **Conference Game of the Year**
