Indiana, averaging 87.3 points, could use a better performance from star center Cody Zeller. The sophomore big man spent time on the bench in the first half due to foul trouble and finished with season lows of six points and four rebounds while committing four turnovers -- one shy of his total over the previous three games. Georgetown is 16-5 ATS L21 neutral site games. College Lines: no line posted yet.
#9 North Carolina (4-0) vs. Butler (2-1)

Butler hopes to make the favorite's path to the championship a bit more difficult. North Carolina led by 32 points at halftime and cruised to a 95-49 win over Mississippi State on Monday, holding an overmatched opponent that had only six scholarship players available to 28.3 percent shooting.

Brooklyn (6-2) at LA Lakers (5-5)
Dwight Howard will try to lead the suddenly high-powered Lakers to a season-high third straight victory while denying the surging Nets their longest win streak in seven seasons.

D'Antoni has watched the past two games from the locker room while getting therapy on his knee, and has talked to the team before games and at halftime. Interim coach Bernie Bickerstaff, who will remain an assistant on the new staff, has guided Los Angeles to a 4-1 mark since Mike Brown's firing earlier this month. Lakers are 5-1 ATS L6 home games. Basketball lines: LA Lakers are a 6-point favorite. Total: 208.
