San Diego State vs. Connecticut 9:20 PM ET

Game# 711-712

Play On: Under 132.5 (10*)

The only flaw that UConn has displayed defensively during their 5 NCAA Tournament games is allowing opponents to have an average of 19 free throw attempts per game. If you even want to label that as a flaw. However, San Diego State has been terrible from the free throw line during their 5 NCAA Tournament game while converting on just 63.4% of their free throw attempts. Otherwise, the Huskies have held all 5 of their opponents to 38.8% or worse while giving up a mere 59.2 points per contest. UConn has covered all 5 games in the big Dance. The Huskies have played 8-1 to the under this season when not playing at home and coming off covering each of their previous 3 games.

San Diego State is a 7.5-point underdog at the time of this writing. The Aztecs have played 8-0 to the under since 12/17/2021 and there were a combined 125.1 points scored per game. San Diego State is coming off a thrilling 72-71 buzzer beating win over FAU in a game that went over the total of 132.0. That snapped a string of 12 consecutive games going under the total for the Aztecs. As a matter of fact, they haven’t gone over the total in 2 straight games since January 10th. Furthermore, The Aztecs have played 5-0 to the under in their last 5 contests following an over in their previous outing and there was a combined average of 121.6 points scored per game. The Aztecs have also gone under in their last 5 after allowing 70 points or more during its previous contest and there was a combined 118.2 points scored per game.

According to Ken Pomeroy, San Diego State is #4 nationally in adjusted defensive efficiency and UConn is #8. Additionally, UConn is #214 in adjust offensive temp and San Diego State is #270.

UCF @ Memphis 8:00 PM ET

Game# 799-800

Play On: Over 149.0 (10*)

Earlier this season there would be no possible chance I would bet a UCF game to go over a number that neared or surpassed 150.0. Nevertheless, much has changed between then and now. These teams played a 2-overtime thriller earlier this season which saw UCF pull out a 107-104 win. However, that game was 78-78 at the end of regulation time which still would have sailed over that total of just 135.5.

During their previous 5 contests, Memphis has averaged 90.6 points scored per game, shot 50.2% from the field, and made 38.7% of its 3-point shot attempts. Conversely, UCF has averaged 74.6 points scored per game, made 40.9% of its 3-point shot attempts, and made an average of 11 three-point shots per outing throughout their previous 5 contests. Memphis averages 24 free throw attempts and allows 24 free throw attempts per game this season. UCF is #1 in American Athletic Conference action in free throw percentage at 80.7%. Memphis is pretty good themselves in converting on 75.3% of its free throws in conference games.

Texas @ Kansas State 4:00 ET

Game# 666-700

Play On: Over 149.0 (10*)

These teams met earlier this season in Austin and Kansas State walked away with a 116-103 win, and no there wasn’t any overtime. There were a combined 59 free throw attempts in that contest and the team went and made 53 of them for an excellent 89.8% conversion rate. Not to mention, combining to go 24-51 (47.1%) on 3-point shot attempts. I am not predicting those gaudy numbers will repeat themselves in this one, but I do think will see a similar volume of attempts in each category. By the way, these teams have now gone over the total in each of the last 6 times they’ve met.

Texas has played 11-3 to the over in their last 14 games. The Longhorns are coming off a 76-71 home win versus Baylor and that contest barely went under the total of 148.5. Texas has played 6-0 to the over off a conference win this season and there was a combined 162.9 points scored per game. Texas has also played over in their last 4 immediately after an under and there was a combined 162.3 points scored per game.

Throughout their previous 5 games, the Wildcats averaged an enormous 28 free throw attempts per game and made an outstanding 76.1% of those tries. That’s good news considering Texas allows 24 free throw attempts per game in conference play. Kansas State has also made a very good 38% of their 3-point shot attempts in conference play.

Heat @ Celtics 8:30 PM ET

Game# 565-566

Play On: Under 206.5 (10*)

These teams have a combined 8 players that are listing as questionable for tonight’s game. There’s a good chance that most will play and be less than 100% which is typical at this time of year. More times than not, teams in this situation lose more offensively than defensively.

The first 3 games of this series have all gone over the total. Miami has played 3-0 to the under in their last 3 games following 3 straight overs. Miami is coming off an upset win in Game 3 at Boston. However, Boston has allowed just an average of 97.5 points per game this season immediately following 1 of their 17 straight up favorite losses.

However, the oddsmakers were undeterred by that result and made just a slight adjust to an opening total of 226.5 for Game 3. Let’s not forget, Golden State won the series opener 117-116 in a game that was extremely entertaining to watch. Furthermore, the pace of the first 2 games of the series was lightning fast with a combined 188 and 186 field goal attempts which is extremely high by even NBA standards.

Dallas shot an impressive 38.4% from 3-point territory in their series win over Utah and averaged 17 makes per game. Similar to Phoenix, Dallas played the first 3 games of that Utah series without their star guard Luka Doncic. All he did is lead the NBA in scoring during regular season action at 28.4 points per game and fell just shy of averaging a triple double.

Milwaukee @ Brooklyn 7:35 PM ET

Play On: Under 234.0 (10*)

This is a significantly low number compared to these teams last 3 meetings in which there was an average total of 242.0 per game. Furthermore, all 3 of those head-to-head games all went under the total. As a matter of fact, this total opened at 235.0 compared to 240.0 in Game 1. Part of that adjustment is due to the absence of Nets star point guard James Harden. The rest is a result of early sharp money like mine getting down early.

Any NBA team (Milwaukee) that’s playing their 4th game or less during the previous 10 days and with a total of 230.0 or greater, and both teams have a win percentage of .600 to .750, resulted in those contests playing 26-3 (89.7%) to the under since 1996.

The Clippers have played 6-1 to the under in their previous 7 road games when there was a total of 220.5 or less, and there was only a combined 206.1 points scored per game. Counting the playoffs, these teams have met 5 times this season, and 4 went under the total. All 5 of those contests were also played at an extremely slow pace. Barring red-hot shooting from both teams like we saw in Game 2 on Wednesday, I’m eagerly anticipating a low scoring affair tonight relative to the current total. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Sacramento is coming off a 119-105 road win at Cleveland on Wednesday. The Kings have gone under the total in 6 of their last 7. The Kings have gone under in their previous 4 contests following a game in which they scored 116 points or more.

Any NBA home team with a total of 230.0 or greater that’s coming off a win in which they scored 116 points or more, versus an opponent (Atlanta) with a win percentage of .333 to .647, resulted in those home teams playing 17-0 to the under since 1992.

Game# 651-652

The Blue Devils have averaged 77.0 points scored per contest and shot a superb 49.3% throughout their previous 5 contests. Duke will be facing a North Carolina team that loves to play up tempo basketball and averages a lofty 62 field goal attempts per game this season. That’s significant since Duke has played 6-0 to the over this season when facing teams that average 62 or more field goal attempts per game, and there was a combined average of 162.7 points scored per contest.

According to Ken Pomeroy, North Carolina plays an extremely fast pace when facing fellow ACC teams. The Tar Heels have averaged a robust 71.0 offensive possessions per 40 minutes of play this season. They will be facing a Duke team that is 14th nationally in offensive efficiency. The Blue Devils have averaged 115.2 points scored per 100 offensive possessions. Those types of analytics from team facing each other more times than not turn into a high scoring contest. Speaking of facing each other. The last 3 times these teams have met, each of those contests went over the total. The average combined score in those 3 games was 179.0. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play.

Ball State @ Toledo 7:00 PM ET

Game# 827-828

Play On:  Over 154.0 (5*)

The pace in this game should be conducive to a high scoring affair. Each team has seen their last 5 games average a combined total of 126 field goal attempts per contest which is high by college basketball standards.

These teams met earlier this season and Washington State came away with a 77-62 road win. That contest barely went under the closing total of 140.0. However, both teams were terrible at the free throw line in that contest. They both combined to go just 27-45 (60%) from the charity stripe. That many free throw attempts will likely occur again this evening. But it’s highly probable these teams will convert at a much better percentage than they did in their earlier season matchup. Bet on this game to go over the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Idaho State vs. UC-Davis 4:00 PM T

Game# 713-714

Play On: Under 144.0 (10*)

My personal numbers that I use on this contest indicates the total should be 136.0 That’s a sizable 8.0-points below the current total which from my experiences in using these calculations is significant.

Idaho State has gone under in their first 2 games and there was only a combined average of 116.0 points scored per game. They were key contributors to those low scoring affairs due to playing at snail’s pace offensively which has seen them average just 44 field goal attempts per contest. Even more compelling is they shot a horrible 34.8% while doing so and made a subpar 64.1% of their free throws.

Any neutral court team (UC-Davis) with a total of (140.0 to 149.5) that had a win percentage of .400 to .490 in the previous season, versus a team that had a losing record during the season before, resulted in those games going 71-28 (71.7%) under since 1997.

Saying that Minnesota likes to play at a phonetic offensive pace is an understatement. They’re averaging a massive 96 field goal attempts per game this season and that included 100 per home contest.

Speaking off a quickened offensive tempo, San Antonio certainly won’t shy away from such based on it’s average of 91 field goal attempts per game. The Spurs have been extremely shaky defensively over their last 3 outings while allowing 120.0 points per game and letting opponents shoot a combined 51.3%.

Warriors @ Raptors 8:00 PM ET

Game# 523-524

Play On: Under 213.5 (10*)

The opening game of this series saw both teams combine for only 155 field goal attempts which is well below the NBA average. Yet, the contest somehow produced 227 points. When researching further I discovered some statistics that are very unlikely to occur in 2 consecutive games. The Raptors shot 50.6% and it marked a first time they eclipsed 50% in 13 games. The teams combined to go 56-63 (88.9%) from the free throw line. Not only is that free throw percentage absurd, but the number of attempts by both teams far exceeds this season’s NBA per game average. Additionally, both teams shot the ball very efficiently from 3-point territory while collectively going 25-64 (39.1%). It’s a very good percentage for one team let alone both converting at the high degree of efficiency. Golden State has gone 3-1 during this postseason following a loss. Throughout those 4 games the Warriors held opponent to 40.5% shooting and 30.3% from beyond the 3-point line. It’s quite apparent they’ve shown a postseason tendency to bear down defensively after losing in their previous game. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Bucks @ Raptors 8:30 PM ET

Game# 511-512

As a matter of fact, during the first 5 games of this Eastern Conference Final Milwaukee is a terrible 30.3% from beyond the 3-point line.

Toronto made 18 three-point shots and 25 free throws in the previous game. Yet, that contest still went well under the total by 9.0-points. The pace in which this series has been played has slowed considerably. The first 2 games of this series saw a combined average of 182.0 field goal attempts per game and the previous 2 produced just 167.5 per outing. Games 3 and 4 in Toronto had closing totals of 221.5 and 217.5. Both contests went over but that hasn’t deterred the odds-makers from dropping this opening total down to 214.0. Bet on this game to go under the total for a 10* Top Play wager.

Philadelphia has gone under in 4 straight games and during that time held opponents to 41.4% shooting and includes 30.1% from 3-point range.
