Rating: 2 Units The Nets head to San Antonio after a 119-118 win at Washington on Wednesday in which Irving was able to play and scored 30 points in 37 minutes on the court. Brooklyn, which has won two of its past three games, was without Kevin Durant (left knee injury) but held on after squandering a 16-point lead. LaMarcus Aldridge added 27 points off the bench for the Nets, who have just five wins in their past 12 games.

01-21-22 | Blazers +8.5 v. Celtics | 109-105 | Win | 100 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Boston Celtics' lack of consistency remains a concern as the team concludes a four-game homestand Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. Boston has won five of its last seven games to even its record at 23-23, but the team again struggled for extended periods in Wednesday's 111-102 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.

01-21-22 | Toledo +4.5 v. Ohio | 87-69 | Win | 100 | 7 h 8 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units The Rockets take the floor sporting a glossy 14-4 ATS mark in this series, including 9-1 ATS when seeking revenge. On the flip side, the Bobcats have taken the apple when bobbing against MAC foes with LTKO revenge on their plate, going 9-18-1 ATS since 2000, including 0-6 ATS versus foes coming off a win of 6 or more points. Finally, in closing the issue with this week’s LTKO theme, know that playing on any college basketball conference away team with conference tourney revenge if they won 20+ games last season, and they are coming off a conference game is 30-10 ATS since 1993. |

01-20-22 | Appalachian State v. Georgia State -5.5 | 61-60 | Loss | -110 | 1 h 39 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units When the Panthers fell to the Mountaineers in the championship game of last year’s Sun Belt tourney as 7-point favorites, the plug was immediately pulled on a terrifi c 16-6 season. And while they fi nished the campaign with the highest win percentage of any team in the loop, it meant little with COVID lurking in the background for second-year coach Rob Lanier’s troops. Had they beat App State, and cut down the nets, they would have gone dancing. And today is their shot at revenge. The Apps enter 1-5 SUATS away this season at press time, as well as 1-7 SU and 2-6 ATS versus winning foes this campaign (check GSU record). Meanwhile, the host cats return home off a two-game road trek knowing they are 11-7 SUATS at home with revenge in this role, including 8-4 SUATS versus .500 or greater foes. With the Panthers anxious to dig their paws in, the fi nal call goes to THE CLINCHER: The host team in this series is 10-3 ATS, with Georgia State going 5-0 ATS in its last fi ve games as the host. |

01-19-22 | Virginia -3.5 v. Pittsburgh | 66-61 | Win | 100 | 9 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Tony Bennett is one of the best coaches when it comes to preparation. His team this year is certainly not the same caliber as some of his past teams, so this year's team has to find different ways to win each game. I think Virginia's 57-56 victory over Pitt on Dec. 3 gives the Cavaliers an advantage. Take Virginia. |

01-17-22 | Suns v. Spurs +3.5 | 121-107 | Loss | -100 | 5 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Phoenix just ruled out Deandre Ayton and it's looking doubtful that Cameron Johnson will play. I believe the healthy Spurs can win this outright but won't turn down the +3.5. It's the second of a B2B for Phoenix, which has covered just two of its past eight in that scenario. San Antonio is 6-0 ATS in its past six games vs. a team with a winning percentage above .600. |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Wyoming +2.5 v. Nevada | 77-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 3 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units I have this one projected as a dead even matchup. Wyoming is a strong competitor and has looked good this season. Nevada hasn't been able to get many games in do to Covid, but they're on a five game slide against the spread. The last time they covered it was November 30th. Wyoming has upset their Mountain West foe in three straight meetings, and I think theres a chance they do it again today. This is a solid team, grab the extra points. |
|||||||
01-17-22 | Blazers -1.5 v. Magic | 98-88 | Win | 100 | 4 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Trail Blazers are expected to get reinforcements for this game with C.J. McCollum no longer on their injury report. He hasn’t played in over a month because of a collapsed lung, so expect him to be on some sort of a minutes restriction. However, with him, Anfernee Simons and Jusuf Nurkic all healthy, they are a much more dangerous team. Meanwhile, the Magic are set to play their sixth straight game without Wendell Carter Jr. (hamstring) out. They went 1-4 without him the last five games, which included a loss to the Pistons. |
|||||||
01-13-22 | Coastal Carolina +3.5 v. Appalachian State | 60-61 | Win | 100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units In March these teams met in the Sun Belt Tournament semifinals, and Appalachian State edged Coastal Carolina, 64-61, in overtime. I expect the Chanticleers to be highly motivated for revenge and cover against an App State team that may have peaked during its tournament run. |

01-12-22 | Boise State +1 v. Nevada | 85-70 | Win | 100 | 8 h 33 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Boise State returns to action following a 15-day layoff. The Broncos will face a Nevada Wolf Pack team that has won six of its last seven. Last season, they also defeated Boise State three times. Yet, look for Boise State’s top-tier scoring defense to be a catalyst Wednesday. The Broncos rank 11th in the country, allowing just 58.2 points per game. |

01-09-22 | Spurs +11 v. Nets | 119-121 | Win | 100 | 2 h 44 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Suddenly, home games are becoming difficult for the Brooklyn Nets. Winless at home since Dec. 16, the Nets will attempt to halt a five-game home skid Sunday afternoon when they face the San Antonio Spurs. Brooklyn earned its Dec. 16 home victory when Kevin Durant scored 34 points in a 114-105 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. The losing streak started with a seven-point loss to the Orlando Magic on Dec. 18, which was followed by collapses down the stretch in losses to the 76ers and Los Angeles Clippers before the Nets lost by double digits to the Memphis Grizzlies and Milwaukee Bucks. On Monday, the Nets trailed by 28 against Memphis in a 118-104 defeat. After rallying from 19 points down to win at Indiana on Wednesday, the Nets never led, trailing by as many as 24 points in Friday's 121-109 loss to the Bucks, who hit 16 3-pointers. Consider that the Spurs are 11-5 ATS in their last 16 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-08-22 | Heat v. Suns -8.5 | 123-100 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 11 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat, 2-2 in what is scheduled to be a six-game road trip, will face their stiffest test yet on Saturday when they visit the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix has the best record in the NBA at 30-8, and Chris Paul leads the league in assists per game (10.1) while ranking fifth in steals (1.9). The Suns are 25-0 when leading after three quarters, and Paul -- as their veteran point guard -- deserves credit for closing out opponents. Consider that the Heat are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Pepperdine v. Gonzaga -29.5 | 83-117 | Win | 100 | 9 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Fourth-ranked Gonzaga looks to defeat Pepperdine for the 42nd consecutive time when the two teams open West Coast Conference play on Saturday night at Spokane, Wash. The Waves have lost 23 consecutive times in Spokane as part of that dubious skid. Pepperdine's last road win in the series was a 65-64 triumph on Feb. 19, 1998, and its most recent victory anywhere against the Bulldogs was an 88-79 home win on Jan. 18, 2002. Gonzaga (11-2) is 45-2 against the Waves (6-9) during Mark Few's 23-year tenure as coach. |

01-08-22 | Washington State v. Utah -2.5 | 77-61 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 25 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Utes have lost three in a row. They blew a 14-point lead in the second half Thursday in a 74-68 loss to visiting Washington. Branden Carlson, Lazar Stefanovic and Gabe Madsen each scored 12 points for Utah and Marco Anthony and Rollie Worster tallied 10 apiece. Anthony grabbed a game-high 13 rebounds and led the Utes with four assists. It was just Utah's second loss in eight home games this season. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Tennessee v. LSU -1.5 | 67-79 | Win | 100 | 6 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units LSU held on to beat Kentucky for its first SEC win. The Tigers bounced back from their first loss of the season in their SEC opener at Auburn six days earlier. LSU held the Wildcats to 10 points during the final 13 minutes of the game to overcome a nine-point deficit. Even with the frantic final two minutes, the Tigers finished the game with a 24-10 run. Consider that the Tigers are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games overall. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Notre Dame v. Georgia Tech +1.5 | 72-68 | Loss | -110 | 6 h 17 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Notre Dame is coming off a big win over North Carolina on Wednesday to make it four straight wins for the Irish as they improved to 2-1 in the ACC. Notre Dame now hits the road where it has struggled, going 1-2 with the two losses coming by blowouts against Boston College and Illinois and the lone win being a one-point win at Pittsburgh. Overall, the Irish are 6-0 at home but just 2-5 on the highway, getting outscored by close to nine ppg. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Iowa State +6.5 v. Oklahoma | 66-79 | Loss | -101 | 6 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units First, Iowa State had further to go, after going 2-22 last season, 0-18 in conference play, and a combined 14-42 over the last two seasons combined. The Cyclones lost all five of their top scorers from last year's team and returned three rotational players from last year's team, who averaged just 10.7 points per game combined. Iowa State won its first 12 games of the season by an average of 17 points per game, with just two decided by fewer than 10 points. The Cyclones are coming off a 51-47 win over Texas Tech on Wednesday that was their first conference win since late February 2020. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Syracuse +4.5 v. Wake Forest | 74-77 | Win | 100 | 3 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Demon Deacons played without Daivien Williamson, the team's third-leading scorer (12.9), who missed a game for the first time this season Tuesday night and was believed to be in the health and safelty protocol. Carter Whitt filled in, though he didn't score. Of concern to Forbes were 22 turnovers, including eight by LaRavia. Consider that the Demon Deacons are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. |

Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Rams are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 road games. While the Explorers are 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of greater than .600 and 5-12-1 ATS in their last 18 games overall.

01-08-22 | Villanova -8.5 v. DePaul | 79-64 | Win | 100 | 3 h 31 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Justin Moore continues to show why he's on the verge of becoming the next standout for No. 19 Villanova. With Collin Gillespie scoreless midway through the second half, Moore took over and carried the Wildcats past Creighton 75-41 on Wednesday. Moore finished with 22 points, though Gillespie, a Player of the Year candidate, did finish with 11. Moore will look to keep Villanova (10-4, 3-1 Big East) surging when it aims for a fourth straight win Saturday at DePaul. Consider that the Blue Demons are 2-6-1 ATS in their last 9 games as a home underdog. |
|||||||
01-08-22 | Connecticut +4.5 v. Seton Hall | 87-90 | Win | 100 | 1 h 5 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units UConn (10-3, 1-1 Big East) is ready to return to action for the first time since beating Marquette 78-70 on Dec. 21. All players are expected to be available, although some could be on a minutes limit. The Pirates (10-3, 1-2) lost to both Providence and Villanova last week with only eight scholarship players available. But rim protector Ike Obiagu returned from COVID pause to help Seton Hall beat host Butler on Tuesday, and 6-10 forward Tyrese Samuel likely will be available to play against the Huskies. Consider that the Huskies are 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |

|||||||
01-06-22 | Clippers v. Suns -10.5 | 89-106 | Win | 100 | 9 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Suns look to record win No. 30 when they host the Los Angeles Clippers tonight as they continue one of the best starts in franchise history. Phoenix's top start through 38 games was 31-7 during the 2004-05 season, a team led by superstar Steve Nash. A win against the Clippers would place the Suns at 30-8. And Phoenix is thriving despite five players being in COVID-19 protocol -- big men Deandre Ayton and JaVale McGee, forwards Jae Crowder and Abdel Nader, along with guard Landry Shamet. Consider that the Clippers are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 games playing on 2 days rest. |

|||||||
01-06-22 | Warriors -2.5 v. Pelicans | 96-101 | Loss | -110 | 7 h 12 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This game could be Warriors' final one before the return of shooting guard Klay Thompson, who hasn't played in more than two years because of ACL and Achilles tears. Golden State reportedly is optimistic that Thompson will be able to play at home against Cleveland on Sunday night. New Orleans won five of its last six games before New Year's, but the schedule at the start of 2022 has not been kind. The Pelicans' losing streak started with a road loss against defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday. The game against Golden State concludes a homestand featuring the top three teams in the Western Conference in four days. The Pelicans lost to Utah 115-104 on Monday and to Phoenix on Tuesday, 123-110. Consider that the Warriors are 23-9-1 ATS in their last 33 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-06-22 | Ohio State +3.5 v. Indiana | 51-67 | Loss | -104 | 6 h 51 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Ohio State has won this season with offense, ranking fifth in the Big Ten in scoring (76.7 points per game), third in 3-point field goal percentage (39.7 percent) and second in field goal percentage (48.9 percent). Liddell ranks fourth in the Big Ten in scoring at 19.6 points per game, while Justin Aherns ranks ninth in the league in 3-pointers made at 2.4 per game. Indiana (10-3, 1-2) returns home after a disappointing 61-58 loss at Penn State. The Hoosiers went just 4 of 17 from 3-point range in the loss and were outrebounded 39-29. During one second half stretch, Penn State was able to grind nearly two minutes off the clock by grabbing four straight offensive rebounds. Consider that the Buckeyes are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. |

|||||||
01-05-22 | Heat v. Blazers +1.5 | 115-109 | Loss | -108 | 12 h 32 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Miami Heat continue a six-game road trip on Wednesday when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers. Miami comes in halfway through its road swing, which matches the Heat's longest this season. After starting the trek Dec. 31 with a 120-110 win at Houston, Miami dropped its last two against the Sacramento Kings on Sunday 115-113 and Monday at Golden State 115-108. The loss to the Warriors came with an additional toll. Jimmy Butler was helped off the court in the third quarter having sustained what the team later announced was a right ankle injury. He has been ruled out against the Blazers. Consider that the Heat are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game and 2-5 ATS in the last 7 meetings in Portland. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Jazz -3 v. Nuggets | 115-109 | Win | 100 | 11 h 28 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Denver Nuggets haven't spent as much time at home this season as many other teams. They've played 21 of their 35 games on the road so far this year, most of those without their full lineup intact, and the last two without their head coach. Denver won't have a full complement of players Wednesday night, but it will get a chance to play at home when it hosts the Utah Jazz. The Nuggets haven't dominated at Ball Arena like they have in past years, going just 8-6 with a couple of underwhelming losses tossed in. They'll have to be well-prepared for Utah, as the Jazz lead the Northwest Division so far this season. Consider that the Jazz are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a road favorite. While the Nuggets are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Thunder +7.5 v. Wolves | 90-98 | Loss | -105 | 10 h 43 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the Thunder with 22.7 points per game to go along with averages of 5.2 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks. Teammate Luguentz Dort, who is dealing with a sore knee and is uncertain for Wednesday, is second with 16.3 points per game. A bright spot for Oklahoma City has been newcomer Josh Giddey, who was named as the Western Conference Rookie of the Month for December on Tuesday. The 19-year-old from Australia averaged 11.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and 6.7 assists during the month. Consider that the Thunder are 20-8 ATS in their last 28 games as an underdog. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Raptors v. Bucks -7.5 | 117-111 | Loss | -110 | 10 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units After their six-game win streak was snapped on Monday, the Milwaukee Bucks look to get back on track on Wednesday night when they host the Toronto Raptors. The Bucks are coming off a 115-106 loss to the Detroit Pistons, who earned back-to-back wins for the first time this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo paced Milwaukee with 31 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists on 11-of-21 shooting. Jrue Holiday trailed close behind with 29 points, and Bobby Portis had 12 to go with 14 rebounds. Khris Middleton chipped in 10 points after missing Saturday's game due to personal reasons. Consider that the Raptors are 9-26 ATS in their last 35 games after scoring more than 125 points in their previous game. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | North Florida v. Florida Gulf Coast -10 | 67-74 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 20 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Ospreys are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record, 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as a road underdog, and 0-7 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While the Eagles are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games as a favorite and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a home favorite. In addition, the home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | 76ers v. Magic +8.5 | 116-106 | Loss | -104 | 9 h 48 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Wendell Carter Jr. had 21 points and 10 rebounds against his former team, marking his fourth consecutive double-double and team-high 18th of the season. Carter also scored his 2,000th career point in the loss. Wagner scored a team-high 22 points for his 20th consecutive game in double figures - the second-longest streak by a rookie in Magic history. Gary Harris (19 points) went 5 of 10 from 3-point range and Terrence Ross contributed 15 points off the bench, giving him 48 points in two games since clearing protocol. Consider that the 76ers are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games as a favorite and 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Orlando. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Pistons +10.5 v. Hornets | 111-140 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 46 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Hornets are the worst defensive team in the NBA. They allow 116.7 PPG. The last two games have seen them give up 133 to Phoenix and 124 to Charlotte. Those kind of defensive numbers, coupled with being this large of a favorite, is a bad combo. The back to back wins should have Detroit somewhat confident heading into this game. It's not like Charlotte is some great team either. While the Hornets are currently in eighth place in the Eastern Conference, they've given up more points than they've scored this year and tonight marks just the EIGHTH game where they come in as the favorite. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | VMI v. East Tennessee State -1.5 | 79-80 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 4 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Buccaneers are 6-2 ATS in their last 8 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games as a home favorite, and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games. |
|||||||
01-05-22 | Nebraska v. Michigan State -15.5 | 67-79 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 59 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 10 Michigan State will look to stretch its winning streak to eight games when it hosts Nebraska today. The Spartans' last victory wasn't easy. They were down 13 points to Northwestern on Sunday and the game was tied at 57 before they rattled off eight consecutive points. "We did not play our best basketball," coach Tom Izzo said. "It was not something that will go down in Michigan State lore as far as a game, that first half. But the second half I did think we competed more." Gabe Brown scored 15 of his 20 points after the break, including a clutch 3-pointer in the final minute. The 73-67 win allowed Michigan State (12-2, 3-0 Big Ten) to preserve its No. 10 ranking. Consider that the Cornhuskers are 8-20 ATS in their last 28 road games following three or more consecutive home games. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Kings v. Lakers -6.5 | 114-122 | Win | 100 | 12 h 26 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Sacramento Kings will look to derail LeBron James and the Lakers when they visit Los Angeles for a duel of Pacific Division rivals Tuesday night. James had his run of 30-point games end at seven straight on Sunday, but still managed a game-high 26 as the Lakers won a second in a row, 108-103 at home over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The victory came even though the Lakers were outrebounded 56-28. Consider that Kings are 6-13 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 1 days rest. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Suns v. Pelicans +8 | 123-110 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 34 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pelicans got their top two scorers -- Brandon Ingram and Jonas Valanciunas -- back Monday. The Pelicans, who began the new year with a 136-113 loss at defending champion Milwaukee on Saturday, are in the midst of three home games against the best teams in West over four days. The stretch concludes against NBA-leading Golden State on Thursday. Consider that the Pelicans are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games playing on 0 days rest. |

|||||||
01-04-22 | Pacers +2 v. Knicks | 94-104 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers put themselves in position for a stirring win Sunday by mounting a 22-9 run to take an 84-73 lead with three minutes left in the third quarter. But the Cavaliers scored the final 15 points of the period and led by as many as nine in the fourth quarter. Indiana fell to 2-7 since a three-game winning streak that ended Dec. 10. That winning streak included a 122-102 victory over the Knicks on Dec. 8. The Knicks haven't been at .500 since entering the game against the Pacers at 12-12. That loss marked the start of a 5-8 stretch for New York, which won three in a row from Dec. 25-29 to move within a game of the break-even mark before falling to the Oklahoma City Thunder 95-80 on New Year's Eve. The Knicks enter Tuesday in 11th place in the East, one game behind the Raptors and Boston Celtics, who are tied for the final two play-in spots. Their attempts to climb the standings have been complicated by a string of injuries and COVID-19 absences. Consider that the Pacers are 20-9-2 ATS in their last 31 road games vs. a team with a losing home record. |
|||||||
01-04-22 | Spurs v. Raptors -6.5 | 104-129 | Win | 100 | 8 h 38 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units With most of their players back in the lineup, the Toronto Raptors will be going for their third straight victory Tuesday night against the visiting San Antonio Spurs. Scottie Barnes, the last regular to return from health and safety protocols for the Raptors, scored 13 points Sunday in a 120-105 victory over the visiting New York Knicks. Slightly more than a week ago, the Raptors were trying to assemble a team while having 10 players in the COVID-19 protocol. With the regulars back, Raptors coach Nick Nurse must figure out his rotations. Consider that the Raptors are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games overall and 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

01-04-22 | Texas v. Kansas State +6.5 | 70-57 | Loss | -107 | 9 h 15 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units K-State (8-4, 0-1 Big 12) overcame a 15-point deficit and tied the game late against the Sooners, but fell 71-69. Mark Smith had career highs with 25 points, 16 rebounds and five assists. He became the first Wildcat with at least 25 points and 15 boards in a game since Michael Beasley in 2008. Consider that the Longhorns are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. While the Wildcats are 6-2-1 ATS in their last 9 games overall. |

01-04-22 | Auburn -9.5 v. South Carolina | 81-66 | Win | 100 | 9 h 57 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units No. 11 Auburn will travel to Columbia, S.C., to face the South Carolina Gamecocks on Tuesday night, when the surging Tigers will look for continued dominance by big man Walker Kessler. A transfer from North Carolina, Kessler has been swatting away shots at a record pace for Auburn (12-1, 1-0 SEC), which opened conference action Wednesday with a 70-55 home victory over No. 16 LSU. The dominating Kessler played an enormous role in the game. He crafted a triple-double, including a career-high 11 blocks, as Auburn held the visiting Tigers to 28.6 percent shooting from the field and 20.7 percent from long range. The Newnan, Ga., native led his team with 16 points and 10 rebounds as Auburn rolled to its ninth straight victory. Consider that the Tigers are 15-5-2 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. |
|||||||
01-03-22 | Nuggets v. Mavs -3.5 | 89-103 | Win | 100 | 9 h 2 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Denver faces a Dallas team that has gotten key players back, most notably Luka Doncic. Doncic missed 10 games before leading the Mavericks to a 95-86 win at Oklahoma City on Sunday night. It was his first game in 23 days and he was sporting a brace on his left knee. Coach Jason Kidd limited him to 31 minutes, and he finished with 14 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds. Dallas also got Tim Hardaway Jr. and Max Kleber back into the lineup. Both players missed six games in health and safety protocol since testing positive for COVID-19 before Christmas. The win over the Thunder was the second straight for the Mavericks after they dropped five of their previous seven. They went 5-5 without Doncic. |

01-03-22 | Grizzlies +6.5 v. Nets | 118-104 | Win | 100 | 8 h 6 m | Show | |
Rating: 3 Units NBA Play of the Day The Memphis Grizzlies own the notable distinction of being the only team to defeat the heavyweights of the Western Conference in the Golden State Warriors, Phoenix Suns and Utah Jazz this season. Ja Morant played a significant role in those victories, and he and the rest of the Grizzlies will get a crack at another upper-echelon team Monday night in a visit to the Brooklyn Nets. Morant heads into Monday's game averaging 24.7 points a game this season and 26.5 points in six games since returning from a 12-game absence due to a sprained knee and the NBA health and safety protocol. The Grizzlies were 10-2 in his absence, and Morant is averaging 30.5 points during their current four-game winning streak. Morant has scored at least 30 points in three straight games for the first time in his career. He started it by capping a 33-point night with the game-winner in Phoenix on Dec. 27, scored 41 two nights later in a five-point win over the Los Angeles Lakers, and then finished with 30 in Friday's 118-105 win over the San Antonio Spurs. |

01-03-22 | UT-Rio Grande Valley +9.5 v. Sam Houston State | 78-86 | Win | 100 | 8 h 0 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that Vaqueros are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 Monday games. While the Bearkats are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 home games. |

01-03-22 | Florida A&M -2 v. Bethune-Cookman | 59-66 | Loss | -110 | 5 h 37 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units This is a redemption game for Rattlers senior guard MJ Randolph, who averages 19.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists and should be the best player on the floor. In the most recent meeting in March 2020, also in Daytona Beach, Randolph missed a free throw with no time left in regulation and Florida A&M ended up losing in overtime. Florida A&M ranks 298th at Kenpom, 55 spots ahead of Bethune-Cookman. Lay the small number. |

01-03-22 | Towson -2.5 v. Drexel | 61-65 | Loss | -103 | 6 h 7 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Towson travels to Drexel as both teams start conference play in the Colonial. This line feels a bit small here for me and my model definitely agrees with this one- it's projecting a four point win for Towson. The Tigers are 11-2 ATS this season including 7-0 ATS on the road. Drexel also has not played since December 14th, so the Dragons may find themselves a bit rusty. Towson has won three straight meetings with Drexel and nine of the last ten since 2016. Take the small number now, pay attention to inactive reports and watch to see if Towson can continue their dominance over their conference foe. |

01-02-22 | Wolves +8 v. Lakers | 103-108 | Win | 100 | 12 h 35 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Lakers would appear to need all the help they can get to defeat the Timberwolves. Their rough eight-game stretch started Dec. 17 with a 110-92 defeat at Minnesota, in a game when Davis left in the third quarter with his knee injury and hasn't played since. The Wolves actually have two victories over the Lakers this season, also beating them 107-83 at Los Angeles on Nov. 12. Karl-Anthony Towns averaged 28.5 points in the two victories, but is out in COVID-19 protocol, along with guards McKinley Wright IV and D'Angelo Russell. Minnesota has lost four of its last five games during its COVID-19 issues. Anthony Edwards returned from a six-game absence in a 120-108 defeat at Utah on Friday to score 26 points. Jarred Vanderbilt also returned Friday, while Patrick Beverley and Naz Reid are two games into their return. |

01-02-22 | Suns v. Hornets +2.5 | 133-99 | Loss | -110 | 9 h 9 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units It won't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that the majority of the public money in this contest will be on the 27-8 Phoenix Suns. But I think there's value here on the 19-17 home side. This is a revenge game for the Hornets after they fell 137-106 in Phoenix on December 19th. Here's a perfect opportunity to get some revenge against a Suns team coming off their worst loss of the year. The Suns fell 123-108 in Boston as 3.5-point favorites last time out. Charlotte enters red hot after three straight victories as well, most recently a 116-108 victory over Indiana. Charlotte averages 115.2 points per game (2nd.) |

01-02-22 | Heat v. Kings +4 | 113-115 | Win | 100 | 8 h 13 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Kings, who are 9-12 at home this season yet started the weekend just a half-game outside the Western Conference playoff picture, are actually in good shape in terms of COVID. Sacramento split two home games against the Dallas Mavericks this week, winning Wednesday on Chimezie Metu's 3-pointer at the buzzer before losing Friday's rematch. In Wednesday's game, the Kings got Davion Mitchell, Alex Len and Louis King back from the COVID list. On Friday, Neemias Queta returned from COVID protocol, and he was the final Kings player on the list. Shooting guard Terence Davis, Sacramento's seventh-leading scorer at 9.5 points per game, missed Friday's game due to left ankle soreness. Otherwise, the Kings are healthy, which is not the case for the Heat. In fact, Miami's game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday was postponed because the Heat did not have the NBA's requirement of eight available players. Consider that the Heat are 4-11 ATS in their last 15 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. |

01-02-22 | Pacers v. Cavs -3 | 104-108 | Win | 100 | 8 h 10 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The Pacers, meantime, will be trying to recover from having a home win snatched from their grasp on Friday night when the Chicago Bulls' DeMar DeRozan connected on a desperation 3-pointer at the horn for a 108-106 victory. It was Chicago's second win over the Pacers in six days, with Indiana also suffering a 116-108 home loss to the Charlotte Hornets in between. The three-game skid is Indiana's sixth losing streak of the season -- two two-gamers, two three-gamers and two four-game streaks. In the rematch with the Bulls, the Pacers were down five players -- including standout guard Malcolm Brogdon and Kelan Martin, who joined the group Friday -- because of COVID protocol. Consider that the Cavaliers are 25-9 ATS in their last 34 games overall. |

01-02-22 | Indiana v. Penn State +4.5 | 58-61 | Win | 100 | 5 h 29 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Indiana had its scheduled game on Wednesday against UNC Asheville canceled due to COVID-19 issues within the Bulldogs' program. The Hoosiers, who have won three straight, haven't played since beating Northern Kentucky 79-61 on Dec. 22. Indiana is seeking its first road win of the season, having dropped games at Syracuse and at Wisconsin by a combined seven points in its first two matchups away from home. Consider that the Hoosiers are 1-7-1 ATS in their last 9 road games and 0-6 ATS in their last 6 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. While the home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. |

01-02-22 | Michigan State -2.5 v. Northwestern | 73-67 | Win | 100 | 4 h 42 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units The No. 10 Spartans and host Wildcats have exceeded expectations to this point of the season and will look for more when they meet Sunday afternoon at Evanston, Ill. Michigan State (11-2, 2-0) enters on a six-game winning streak, but head coach Tom Izzo doesn't want to hear any boastful talk after the Spartans struggled in an 81-68 win over High Point on Wednesday. Michigan State did play that game against High Point without four players and two starters: Max Christie and Marcus Bingham Jr. They also happen to be two of the Spartans' best defenders. Consider that the Wildcats are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. |

01-02-22 | Illinois State v. Valparaiso -4.5 | 76-81 | Win | 100 | 4 h 40 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Redbirds are 14-35-2 ATS in their last 51 games following a ATS win. While the Beacons are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games as a home favorite, 12-5 ATS in their last 17 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400, and 15-7 ATS in their last 22 games as a favorite. |

01-02-22 | Dartmouth v. Cornell -4.5 | 71-79 | Win | 100 | 4 h 36 m | Show | |
Rating: 2 Units Consider that the Big Green are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. While the Big Red are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games vs. a team with a losing road record, 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games following three or more consecutive road games, and 11-4 ATS in their last 15 home games. |
