10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Iowa -4.5)
The Hawkeyes got off to a slow start this year and a big reason for that is they had to play several games without one of their best all-around players in Nicholas Baer. He's not going to light up the scoreboard, but does a great job of doing all the little things. When he got back up to game-speed this team has really taken off. Iowa comes in having won 3 straight in blowout fashion, which includes a 90-64 win as a 7-point favorite against Drake on a neutral site and a 92-64 win over Southern Utah as a 15.5-point favorite. As you can see they have destroyed their spread in their last two games, which I think speaks volumes to how undervalued this team is.
Colorado is a quality team, but I don't think they are quite on Iowa's level. The Buffaloes have are just 2-3 in their last 5 and have not faired well away from home. They lost and failed to cover both of their true road games at Colorado St (63-72) and Xavier (69-96) and while they were far from impressive in their 3 neutral site wins, beating Quinnipiac by just 1-point as a 17-point favorite, Drake by 5 as a 7 point favorite and Mercer by 9. Colorado is allowing 77.6 ppg on the road and will be facing an Iowa team that is averaging 81 ppg and shooting 48% from the field on the season. Give me the Hawkeyes -4.5!

The Portland Trail Blazers should not be favored tonight. They are going to be without their best player in Damian Lillard due to a leg injury. He’s the one player they cannot afford to lose. The Nuggets come in hungry for a victory after losing their last two games by a combined 9 points to Oklahoma City and Minnesota. So they won’t be taking the Blazers lightly despite the fact that they’re without Lillard. And they just lost to the Blazers in their first meeting a month ago, so they’ll be out for revenge. The Nuggets are 24-11 ATS in their last 35 games following a straight up loss, and 7-2 ATS in their last nine games following an ATS loss. The Blazers are 1-4-2 ATS in their last seven home games. Give me the Nuggets.

NBA | Knicks vs Pistons
Play on: Pistons -6 -105 at 5Dimes
Jack’s Free Pick Friday: Detroit Pistons -6
The New York Knicks will be playing the 2nd of a back-to-back tonight after a 102-93 home win over the Boston Celtics last night. Kristaps Porzingis made his return from injury, but went 0-for-11 and didn’t attempt a shot in the second half. He clearly isn’t 100% and it wouldn’t surprise me if they continue to rest him tonight.
Off such a big win over the Celtics, I think this is clearly a letdown spot for the Knicks. And New York hasn’t been nearly as good on the road as it has been at home this season. In fact, it’s one of the biggest discrepancies in the league. The Knicks are 2-9 SU & 3-8 ATS on the road this season, getting outscored by an average of 10.6 points per game.
The Pistons have turned it around here of late. They have won three of their last four games coming in despite playing three of those four on the road. And now they will be fresh as this is just their 2nd game in 5 days. The Pistons are a solid 9-5 at home this year and have one of the most underrated home-court advantages in the league.
The home team is 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings in this series. The favorite is 21-7 ATS in the last 28 meetings. Detroit is 5-1 ATS in its last six games following a loss by more than 10 points. New York is 3-9 ATS in its last 12 road games. The Knicks are 2-6 ATS in their last eight games playing on 0 days’ rest. Bet the Pistons Friday.

Play on: UNDER 205½ -105
The Trail Blazers have two things going for them: Strong defense and one of the top guard tandems in the NBA with All-Star Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Portland will have its outstanding defense going here. The Trail Blazers rank among the top-five in all of the major defensive categories. But Lillard is going to miss his first game of the season due to a hamstring injury. Lillard is the whole key to Portland's offense. He leads the team in scoring at 25.2 points a game and also is first on the team in assists averaging 5.6 per game. I see the Trail Blazers really struggling to score without him. This is a stop-the-pain game for Portland, which has lost five in a row at Moda Center. The Trail Blazers are really going to emphasize defense as a way to halt this home losing skid with Lillard out. Denver has been playing short-handed at guard. Both starter Gary Harris and No. 3 guard Emmanuel Mudiay missed the Nuggets' last game two days ago against Minnesota. Among the Nuggets' starters for that game were Mason Plumlee and Torrey Craig, not exactly superstar scorers. The Nuggets committed 22 turnovers in their Wednesday loss to the Timberwolves and were not crisp with their passes. Sparkplug Will Barton is ice cold, too, missing 19 of his last 24 field goals. The Nuggets are committing an average of 17.3 turnovers in their last six games.

Play on: Bucks -5 -103 at 5Dimes
Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Milwaukee Bucks -5
The Key: The Milwaukee Bucks are 7-4 in their last 11 games overall. They just beat Cleveland and their quotes coming out of the locker room indicate this is a must-win. And they will want to avenge a 126-121 road loss at Charlotte in their last meeting this season. But the Bucks didn’t have Eric Bledsoe then, and his speed will be key in trying to slow down Kemba Walker, who torched them last time. The Hornets have been brutal of late, going 3-11 SU & 3-10-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. Charlotte is 3-11-2 ATS in its last 16 road games. The favorite is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 meetings. Take Milwaukee.
