MARYLAND @ IOWA | 1/10 | 7:00 PM EST
10:32 AM
The Terps come into this game off a huge win over Ohio State. Meanwhile Iowa enters off a horrible loss to Nebraska. Look for this game to be a much lower scoring game than the number suggests. Iowa has really struggled shooting the rock the past couple of games and figure to have a hard time against a Maryland defense that allows 61.3 points per game. The Under has cashed in six straight home games for Iowa and five of the last seven meetings overall. Under is the play.

INDIANA -2.5
INDIANA @ CHICAGO | 1/10 | 8:00 PM EST
10:42 AM
Get ready for things to get even worse in Chicago. Already sporting a 13-25 record, the Bulls are now going to be without Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) for the next four to six weeks. Losing his size and defense up front is a crushing blow, especially for this matchup against a Pacers team that rolls out Myles Turner and Domantas Sabonis. Sabonis is officially listed as questionable with knee soreness, but he was also listed as questionable Wednesday and ended up playing 37 minutes against the Heat. Malcolm Brogdon (back) could also return for this matchup, which I think the Pacers will win going away.

NEW ORLEANS -4.5
NEW ORLEANS @ NEW YORK | 1/10 | 7:15 PM EST
10:39 AM
After showing more fight lately, the Knicks have lost both of their last two games by at least 24 points. It didn’t help that Marcus Morris (neck) missed both of those games, and Julius Randle (personal) sat out Wednesday. Randle has already been ruled out for this game while Morris is listed as questionable. Meanwhile, the Pelicans have won six of their last eight games, including taking down the Nuggets, Pacers and Rockets during that stretch. Even though Jrue Holiday (elbow) will miss his third straight contest, I still like the Pelicans to cover.

MIAMI -3.5
MIAMI @ BROOKLYN | 1/10 | 7:30 PM EST
11:41 AM
It's been ugly lately for the Nets, who have lost each of their last seven games. That includes a couple of disappointing losses against the Knicks and Timberwolves. Meanwhile, the Heat are coming off of an impressive 14-point win at Indiana and have won eight of their last 10 games. They are the healthiest that they have been in a while with Justise Winslow now back in the fold, so I’ll take them to extend the Nets’ losing streak and cover along the way.

BUTLER @ PROVIDENCE | 1/10 | 9:00 PM EST
Butler comes into this game with the No. 4 scoring defense in the nation, allowing just 54.1 points per game while the Friars allow 66.1. Both teams have had their struggles shooting the rock and like to control tempo. The Under has cashed in 18 of the last 22 Friars home games when they are underdog. The Under is 11-4 on the season for Butler. Under is the play.

CANISIUS +4.5
CANISIUS @ MONMOUTH | 1/10 | 7:00 PM EST
9:56 AM
Canisius will look to avoid an 0-4 start in the MAAC conference. Losses in seven of its last eight games and five straight have all been by single digits. Yet they scored a season-low 42 points in its latest loss, to Fairfield, and shot just 28.1 percent from the field. Expect a focus on getting better shots and for the Golden Griffins to compete for 40 minutes against Monmouth. Grab Canisius.
21-15-2 IN LAST 38 CBB ATS PICKS | +428
CHARLOTTE +12.5
CHARLOTTE @ UTAH | 1/10 | 9:00 PM EST
9:47 AM
You're getting good value here with the Hornets. They've won their last two games on the road, including a win at Dallas. When they played Utah earlier this season, the Hornets lost by seven. Take Charlotte.

OTTAWA @ DETROIT | 1/10 | 7:30 PM EST
The Red Wings are the lowest scoring team in the league at home at 2.32 goals per game while the Senators are ranked 28th on the road with 2.30 goals per game. The Senators have the worst power play in the league on the road, but they have the 15th best road power play. Take the value in the under with the worst offense in the league.

CANISIUS +4.5
CANISIUS @ MONMOUTH | 1/10 | 7:00 PM EST
1:05 PM
This Reggie Witherspoon-led club has been failing miserably as of late. The Golden Griffins have lost five games in a row, but have covered in four out of their last five against Monmouth. They will come out hot Friday night and start a mini road trip on the right note. Take Canisius to cover.
14-9 IN LAST 23 CBB ATS PICKS | +390
BUFFALO -1.5
BUFFALO @ MIAMI (OHIO) | 1/10 | 7:00 PM EST
1:02 PM
In the last two matchups the Bulls have won by an average of 16 points per game. After two straight losses to teams they have punished the last few years, I am forecasting a comfortable win Friday for Buffalo.
14-9 IN LAST 23 CBB ATS PICKS | +390
7-2 IN LAST 9 BUFF ATS PICKS | +474
PENN -1
PENN @ PRINCETON | 1/10 | 5:00 PM EST
12:59 PM
These two teams faced off a week ago and Penn was favored by seven points. The Quakers lost by 14 and oddsmakers are overreacting to this matchup. This Princeton team doesn't have the same playmakers and camaraderie as this Quakers club. As an underdog this season, the Tigers haven't lived up to the hype, losing to Duquesne, San Francisco, Indiana, and Hofstra by double digits. I see a similar result Friday.
14-9 IN LAST 23 CBB ATS PICKS | +390
L.A. CLIPPERS -13.5
GOLDEN ST. @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 1/10 | 10:30 PM EST
12:54 PM
This is the most unbalanced NBA game of the slate Friday night, and the Clippers should be putting away this game by halftime. Look for coach Doc Rivers to get his ballclub trending in the right direction after failing to cover three straight games.

ORLANDO @ PHOENIX | 1/10 | 9:00 PM EST
12:52 PM
The Magic rank dead last in scoring but first in scoring defense. This recipe explains why they have gone Under in eight out of their last nine games. With 74 percent of the bets reportedly on the Over, we are fading the public and riding the trends. I wouldn't be surprised if this game ends right around the 200 mark.
15-5 IN LAST 20 NBA PICKS | +951
OVER 238.5
ATLANTA @ WASHINGTON | 1/10 | 7:00 PM EST
12:48 PM
The Wizards rank top-5 in points per game and they are at home playing a Hawks team hat is second to last in the league in scoring defense. The last time these two teams met, they combined for 266 points. A total of 79 3-pointers were taken in that game. Look for a similar outcome Friday.
15-5 IN LAST 20 NBA PICKS | +951

MIAMI -3.5
MIAMI @ BROOKLYN | 1/10 | 7:30 PM EST
1:08 PM
The Heat are over .500 on the road now and facing a Nets team that has dropped seven straight. Miami is the best 3-point shooting team in the East at 37.9 percent. In their last 23 games as favorites, the Heat are 15-7-1 ATS.

NEW YORK +4.5
NEW ORLEANS @ NEW YORK | 1/10 | 7:15 PM EST
12:48 PM
The Pelicans are dressing up as a road favorite for only the third time this season, and the first two were decided by five or fewer points. Although the Knicks got blown out in the final two games of their four-game road trip, they're more competitive at home. Last time they played at MSG, they whipped the Blazers. Grab the points.

MILWAUKEE -8.5
MILWAUKEE @ SACRAMENTO | 1/10 | 10:00 PM EST
12:25 PM
The Bucks didn't get it done in Golden State, but I think they'll shoot better tonight and cover in Sacramento. They could get George Hill back from illness, and either way they'll enjoy playing at the quick pace favored by the Kings and De'Aaron Fox. Lay it.
45-32-1 IN LAST 78 NBA ATS PICKS | +988
