This is a play on the BOSTON CELTICS as part of our NBA Saturday Double Play. New York is in a situation to stake its claim that it is a player in the Eastern Conference and continuing to close the gap against Boston but this is the spot where the Celtics step up and show the Atlantic division still runs through Boston. The Celtics are coming off a loss against the Mavericks at home where they have been just above average and this is where they have been money all season, going 10-3 ATS coming off a loss as a favorite and now laying a short price in a spot where they have won all three games this season on the road in this range. The Knicks have won seven of their last eight games including five of six games at home where they are 18-9 and this is no doubt their biggest home game of the season but that does not equate it turning into a win. New York has played the easiest schedule in the league and its five wins against the top ten is the second fewest among teams ranked in the top ten and on the season, they are 2-3 as an underdog with those five games proving how soft the slate has been. Boston is 13-1 in its last 14 games after failing to cover three of its last four games. 10* (529) Boston Celtics

This is a play on the MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES as part of our NBA Saturday Double Play. Memphis is coming off a standalone road game at Toronto on Wednesday so the travel aspect is not a disadvantage as the Grizzlies are back home riding a four-game winning streak while going 10-1 over their last 11 games. They are 21-5 at home after a 5-3 start and they have lost just two home games since late November with those coming by four points each against the Clippers and Rockets. Memphis is 18-3 in its last 21 home games following three or more consecutive wins. Oklahoma City is coming off a win last night at home against Toronto to conclude a 4-0 homestand with little resistance against three slumping teams prior to the Raptors with the Kings, Bucks and Suns and now the Thunder hit the road with no rest against one of the hottest teams in the league and the one team that could be the team to catch them in the Western Conference. Here, we play on teams against the money line revenging a loss of 10 points or more, after a cover as a double digit favorite. This situation is 60-25 ATS (70.6 percent) since 2021 with a scoring differential of +5.9 ppg. 10* (528) Memphis Grizzlies

This is a play on the IOWA HAWKEYES for our Saturday Free Play. Iowa has lost two straight games, both no doubt defeats that were blown open in the second half, and it has now lost five of its last six games and most important for our purposes, the Hawkeyes have failed to cover any of those six games as the lone win came against Penn St. by just one point. They remain home after a nine-point loss at Carver-Hawkeye Arena against Purdue that dropped them to 4-7 in the Big Ten Conference and in need of a big run to have any NCAA Tournament consideration. This is an overreaction number and we will be backing the home dog in a contrarian spot with the Hawkeyes being 0-8 in Quad 1 games but six of those have been on the highway. Wisconsin has won two straight games after losses in two of three and the Badgers are back on the road where they are 3-4, all of which have been Quad 1 games. The wins have come against Rutgers, USC and Northwestern with the Wildcats game being anything close to a classic conference rivalry game which this one is and while Wisconsin can get out of here with a win, the Badgers are laying too big of a number as even a two-possession loss can get it done for the Hawkeyes. Wisconsin is 1-10 in its last 11 games in the second half of the season against teams averaging 84 or more ppg. Play (630) Iowa Hawkeyes Profits in 15 of last 21 days.

This is a play on the LOYOLA MARYMOUNT LIONS CBB Ultimate Underdog. San Francisco was in a great spot on Thursday hosting St. Mary’s but we laid off not knowing the status of guard Marcus Williams who was a gametime decision and he ended up playing. The Dons won the game to avenge a 20-point loss to the Gaels while catching St. Mary’s in a bad spot coming off the Gonzaga win and now San Francisco is in that play against spot off a big win and now hitting the road. The Dons improved to 15-0 at home but are just 2-4 on the road with wins against bottom feeders Pacific and Pepperdine. Loyola Marymount had a five-game winning streak snapped with a 20-point loss at Gonzaga to fall to 6-5 in the West Coast Conference but the Lions are back home in a great rebound spot. They are 10-3 at home with the last two losses coming against Gonzaga and UC Irvine and while this is a test, it comes at the ideal situational time coming off a no chance game against the Bulldogs and the Dons coming off their biggest win of the season. 10* (818) Loyola Marymount Lions

This is a play on the NORTHERN COLORADO BEARS for our Big Sky Game of the Year. Northern Colorado is coming off a loss against Montana at home on Thursday which was just its second home loss of the season, the other coming against 18-7 St. Thomas back in early December and this is a smash spot to bounce back at a reasonable number. The Bears are now tied with the Grizzlies for first place in the Big Sky Conference at 9-2 after the season split so now it is time to take care of business and win out with this being their toughest remaining opponent with seven games left and they could not get the Bobcats at the best time coming off that loss. Montana St. is coming off a loss at Northern Arizona to fall to 5-6 in the conference and right now it is basically a race for third place with them and four other teams. The Bobcats have been awesome at home with an 8-2 record but fell to 2-12 on the road, one win against No. 299 Weber St., and are back to a Quad 3 game where they are 1-6 and could not be going to Greeley at the worst time. 10* (804) Northern Colorado Bears

This is a play on the KANSAS CITY ROOS for our CBB Bounceback Rout. Kansas City has taken a freefall as it opened 2-0 in the Summit League but has lost its last eight straight games, this from the conference preseason favorite. The Roos have been close but have not been able to close as of these eight losses, the last six have come by one or two possessions. Five of these overall losses have been on the road with the three home defeats coming against the current top three NET Ranked teams and all in that group of close defeats. Now they welcome the third lowest ranked team and in a revenge spot following a four-point loss at North Dakota last month. The Fighting Hawks are coming off a tough loss at Omaha by three points which was a great effort considering they are 2-9 on the road with the only conference win away from home coming at No. 327 ranked Denver which has also accounted for only one of three Quad 4 losses. North Dakota has covered three straight games which can only help us in keeping this number down. 10* (774) Kansas City Roos

This is a play on the CLEMSON TIGERS for our CBB Star Attraction. Duke continues to roll along as it has won 16 straight games including its first 12 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and this could be the slip up spot but we are catching a good number with the cover in mind. There is nothing bad to say about this Blue Devils team as they have been as dominant as they come and we have to pick our spot if we want to get in front of them and similar to when we faded them against Wake Forest on the road, this spot is ideal coming off that emotional win over North Carolina and then a blowout win at Syracuse just three days ago. Clemson is the other piece of this play not just because the Tigers are one of the top teams in the conference but because they are coming off a brutal loss in this building against Georgia Tech, just their second home loss with the first coming against Memphis which was also in overtime. The Tigers will not be intimidated as they have won two of the last three home meetings with Duke and they are live once again. 10* (764) Clemson Tigers

This is a play on the DUQUENSE DUKES for our CBB Contrarian Crusher. Duquesne has lost five straight games which includes three on the road by one or two possessions and the Dukes are back home where they are just 6-6 but four of those losses were on December 11th or earlier and another against Dayton in a Quad 2 game. They are now back in Quad 3 for this one and they have gone 5-1 in their last six Quad 3 games, the only loss being on the road at Fordham by two points. Duquesne is 4-6 in the Atlantic Ten Conference and the tight losses have been the difference and overall, the Dukes have been the No. 7 unluckiest team in the country. Loyola Chicago started the season 9-1 but it has been a struggle since then as the Ramblers have gone 5-7 including a 1-6 record away from home. They have covered three straight games including the last two which were at home and they are back on the road playing just their second Quad 3 true road game and against their toughest opponent. The value is here on the Dukes based on their record run which comes to an end. 10* (758) Duquesne Dukes

This is a play on the VIRGINIA CAVALIERS for our ACC Game of the Month. After opening the season 0-10 in Quad 1 and Quad 2 games, Georgia Tech has pulled off a pair of huge upsets in its last two games, defeating Louisville at home by seven points and then going on the road and beating Clemson by three points in triple overtime. The Yellow Jackets have to be feeling good about themselves but probably a little too good at this point as they are still just 5-7 in the Atlantic Coast Conference and the win over the Tigers was their first road win of the season and now we are catching an overreaction line. Virginia is coming off an upset of its own as it defeated Pittsburgh on the road by 16 points so while it is in a similar situation, the big difference here is that the Cavaliers are home where they have not been great but are 8-5 which includes an 8-2 record in non-Quad 1 and Quad 2 games, one of those losses coming against rival Virginia Tech by one point. They are getting a good number against a team still on the road in a huge letdown situation. 10* (756) Virginia Cavaliers

This is a play on the BRADLEY BRAVES for our CBB Signature Enforcer. Bradley opened 9-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference with the only loss coming against first place Drake but the Braves have now lost three straight games following a three-point home loss against Belmont and they have now failed to cover their last four games. Bradley is in a tie with Northern Iowa for second place at 9-4 and these next two games are big before a rematch with Drake following these. The Braves are a perfect 7-0 in Quad 4 games and while this is the first one away from home, they are 5-2 overall on the road. Evansville has been an up and down team as it opened 3-2 in the conference, lost four straight then went on to win three in a row before its most recent game, a nine-point loss at home against Southern Illinois. The 6-7 record is far from horrible and we are getting value the other way because of it knowing the fact the Purple Aces are still the lowest NET Ranked team in the conference. They are 3-6 in Quad 3 games and this is by far the highest ranked Quad 3 opponent to date. 10* (749) Bradley Braves

This is a play on the NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS for our CBB Revenge Rout. Despite a horrible loss at home against Virginia, Pittsburgh is still projected as one of the last four teams into the NCAA Tournament and we are not sure exactly why. The Panthers best win came against No. 25 Ohio St. which was back in November by one point in overtime and it owns only two other wins over top 50 teams. They are 1-5 in Quad 1 games including 0-3 in the other three true road games and one of those top 50 victories was at home against North Carolina by eight points so revenge is in play for the Tar Heels but they are more concerned about their recent play that is leaving them outside the bubble. North Carolina has lost two straight games and four of its last five with the one victory coming at home against a bad Boston College team by only six points in overtime so this team has to get right and quick. The Tar Heels have not played since last Saturday when they were blown out at Duke by 17 points but even that deficit did not tell the story as they fell behind 40-13 and trailed by as many as 32 points. 10* (698) North Carolina Tar Heels

This is a play on the BUTLER BULLDOGS for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. Providence has lost two straight games as it fought all the way back from a 19-point deficit to lose by two points at St. John’s and then kept it close against Creighton at home before the Bluejays pulled away late. The Friars hit the road where they are 2-5 with the two wins coming against the two worst teams in the Big East Conference at a combined 3-22. Providence is 2-4 in Quad 2 games, beating BYU at home very early in the season which was the Cougars first road game of the season and all the way out east no less, and then winning at DePaul and needing overtime to do it. Butler is coming off a 30-point win at Seton Hall which snapped a two-game losing streak. The Bulldogs are just 3-9 in the conference including a 0-9 record in Quad 2 games and now they drop to Quad 3 where they are 2-0. This is a revenge game as well with Butler losing on the road by 19 points, part of their 0-6 opening conference start. They are 3-3 since then with two losses by five points combined, both on the road. 10* (686) Butler Bulldogs

This is a play on the KANSAS JAYHAWKS as part of our CBB Early Triple Play. Kansas St. picked up a couple lopsided home wins over Oklahoma St. and West Virginia a couple weeks ago but then came a real shocker as it went to Iowa St., fell behind 13-4 and then outscored the Cyclones 76-48 the rest of the way to pull off the major upset. The Wildcats followed that up with a win at Arizona St. to make it four straight wins and they have now covered seven straight games heading into the second meeting in the Sunflower Showdown with a chance to even it up but that will not be happening. Kansas St. has lost all value as it was getting 15 in the first meeting and now the adjustment is too much. Kansas picked off Iowa St. at home in its last game which was a big revenge game against the Cyclones and while that is a typical win to produce a letdown, that was all the way back on Monday so that angle is gone and this is still a big rivalry. The Jayhawks chances of winning the conference are likely dead still but a top four is still in play and after losing two straight here in overtime, focus will be here. 10* (663) Kansas Jayhawks

This is a play on the NORTH DAKOTA ST. BISON as part of our CBB Early Triple Play. North Dakota St. snapped a two-game losing streak with a win over Kansas City on Thursday by six points as the Bison improved to 6-4 in the Summit League which is not where they expected to be coming into the season but they can get right back into it with a win here. Their issue is that they have already lost twice to St. Thomas who they trail by two games for second place but taking care of what they have to do is essential right now. They are 7-4 on the road and while we are not a huge proponent of road revenge, they are looking for payback from a five-point home loss against Omaha last month. The Mavericks have been the story of the conference so far as they are in first place at 9-1 with the lone loss coming on the road at South Dakota three games back. They have recovered with two wins since then but they have not been overly impressive over two bottom tiered teams and now comes a test against a team over 100 spots higher in the NET Rankings. 10* (655) North Dakota St. Bison

This is a play on the KENTUCKY WILDCATS as part of our CBB Early Triple Play. Kentucky has lost four of its last five games including two straight since a big win at Tennessee where it won by five points as a 10.5-point underdog. The Wildcats came out flat last Saturday when they hosted Arkansas and former head coach John Calipari and somehow that defeat led to a letdown and they went to Oxford and got pummeled by the Rebels by 15 points and now it is go time. They have a rematch with Tennessee on deck and there is no way they are looking ahead to that as they need to get right or they will be getting blown away on their home floor. South Carolina is coming off a 26-win season including a 13-5 record in the Southeastern Conference and this season have been unable to get even one victory in the conference. The Gamecocks are 0-9 and while that record is splattered with some brutally close losses, five of those by five points or less, four of those have come on their home floor and three road losses have come by 25, 20 and 11 points and could not be in a worse spot Saturday. 10* (610) Kentucky Wildcats
