Clippers-5
I'm recommending a play on the Clippers minus the points. Memphis beat LAC 115-112 at home 10 days ago. Blake Griffin hadn't returned to the floor for the Clippers at that point, but he is now and the Clips are finding success. LAC enters on a 3-game winning streak. They've won five of their last six overall, and the Clippers have been padding bankrolls, currently on a 10-1-1 ATS run. Griffin has scored 25 and 24 points in his first two games since returning to the lineup, while grabbing a total of 13 rebounds and dishing out one dozen assists. And while this is a play for us without Austin Rivers, there is a chance he could return tonight. Memphis has covered just 5 of their last 21 games with one day off between games, while the Clippers have covered five in a row at home. We'll lay the points with the Clippers on Tuesday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

My 1* Free Play is on the LA Clippers (10:30 EST).
Memphis comes in having traded wins and losses over its last four, most recently crushing Sacramento 114-96 on Sunday. LA comes in having won three straight, most recently taking care of Charlotte with a 106-98 victory at home on Sunday.
Note that this is a big time revenge game for LA, as Memphis has taken the first two of the season series between the clubs already.
Memphis averages just 98.7 PPG, while conceding 102.1. Big man Marc Gasol averages 18.5 points, 8.5 boards and 3.9 assists per game.
LA averages 105.5 PPG and concedes 105.7. Blake Griffin is back from a MCL injury and he averages 23.7 points, plus 5.7 boards per game.
I’ll point out that the Grizzlies though are just 1-6 ATS in their last seven following a straight up victory, while LA is 5-0 ATS in its last five at home and 6-0-1 ATS in its last seven following a SU victory.
This is the final game of a road trip for Memphis and I think it gets caught looking ahead. With Griffin back in the mix, all cylinders are firing in LA right now. Consider laying the points in this particular matchup.
Good luck…Larry

CBB Game #558 Tuesday Free Pick DePaul Blue Demons (-) vs Georgetown Hoyas @ 9 ET
The Hoyas are already paying for that ultra-weak non-conference schedule they faced. Georgetown is coming off of back to back losses in Big East action and they were fortunate to even be "in it" in the home loss to Butler as the Bulldogs shot an uncharacteristic 14% from beyond the arc in that one. The Hoyas now visit DePaul and, even though the Blue Demons got the upset win the most recent match-up, Georgetown has had the upper hand in most of the recent meetings including knocking DePaul out of the Big East tourney two years ago. In other words, there is no shortage of motivation here for the Blue Demons. DePaul has played the tougher schedule so far this so don't be fooled when looking at the overall records of these two teams. Also, the Blue Demons are 7-0 SU (and 5-2 ATS) as a favorite this season. Georgetown is 6-12 SU and ATS in road games with a posted total between 145 and 149.5 points. Free Pick DEPAUL

Let's back the Boston Bruins as they face off against a New York Islanders team that has been all over the place lately. The Islanders are coming off a horrible road loss to Colorado 6-1, while the Bruins have been red hot lately thanks to Goalie Tuukka Rask going 10-1 last 11 and allowing only 13 goals in those 11 games.
On the other hand the Islanders are headed in a different direction as they are just 3-6 in their last nine games. Huge edge to Boston as they are 13-3 last 16 games that they played in New York.
Boston plays extremely well when they are rested, they are 5-0 when playing on two days rest. They also play well vs the East, they are 5-1 last six vs. the Eastern Conference. New York, on the other hand, does not fare well against good teams, they are 3-7 last 10 vs teams with winning records.
This one is all Boston.
