NBA 100 DIME GAME ROCKETS -8 There is legitimate concern with the Rockets putting so much of the weight on Harden’s shoulders. His ability to average 30-plus point performances is a spectacular feat, and it might even win him a second consecutive league MVP nod. However, that kind of strategy isn’t conducive for a championship run. Fortunately for the Rockets, Paul is expected to be back in the lineup on Monday, and they are playing against a Suns team that has the second-worst record in the league. Even if Paul couldn’t play, the Rockets should still be able to take care of business in this game. The Suns nearly have more consecutive losses than they have total wins. Despite all of the defensive issues with the Rockets, the Suns won’t be the team to take advantage considering they rank in the bottom-half of the league in total scoring offense. They are actually averaging less points scoring under their own roof than they are on the road. That average of 105.7 points per game isn’t going to cut it with Harden on the floor. Paul should also continue trending upwards after his improved performance against the Nuggets. Rockets by 12 points or more

COLLEGE HOOPS 100 DIME GAME ALABAMA A murderer’s row of a stretch lies ahead for the Crimson Tide with Tuesday’s game against Ole Miss, along with upcoming games against Mississippi State and Auburn. However, being at home against Ole Miss will be the one distinct advantage that helps them bounce back from a heartbreaking loss to Tennessee. The Crimson Tide have played bigger than their talent this season through great coaching and an ability to get hot from 3-point land. They weren’t the more talented team when they upset Kentucky in the SEC opener. That game had more to do with the 10 3-point shots the team sunk to steal a win at home. The fiery shooting of the Crimson Tide will be sparked once again on Tuesday against the more talented team in Ole Miss. Things could get interesting with Petty coming off his two best games of the season, and his confidence should be at an all-time high after dropping 30 points on Tennessee. I expect him to have another standout performance with the Crimson Tide coming out with the win this time around.

NBA 100 DIME GAME KINGS -4.5 I am taking the Kings in this contest. The Magic have lost five out of their last six road games, and they also did not cover in five of those six games. Also, Orlando has not been nearly as productive on the road where they are only averaging 101.3 points on the season. Furthermore, while the Kings haven’t been winning recently, they have endured a challenging schedule. They are still producing offensively, averaging 116.4 points in their last seven games. The Magic are a low-scoring team, so I am not concerned with the Kings shaky defense.

NBA 100 DIME GAME THUNDER -5.James not practicing in full likely means he isn’t quite ready to return for the Lakers. So there won’t be any king around to fend off Westbrook and George. The young Lakers were fortunate enough to pull out a tough win over the Kings, but they’ll be biting off more than they can chew when they step onto the floor against the Thunder. You can throw the majority of the stats out the window for the Lakers given how much is swayed by the mere presence of James. His absence cripples the team offensively and defensively. Granted, the Lakers are still an improved team with some of the other offseason acquisitions they’ve made, but there isn’t nearly enough firepower to stop Westbrook and company. Defense was already an issue for the Lakers with James on the court. Opponents are averaging 111.4 points per game against them, which currently ranks 20th in the NBA. They’re also still missing veteran guard Rajon Rondo at the point. Look for the Thunder to take advantage of the young Lakers and roll to another victory.

That is a major reason that the Pelicans have a -3.4 point per game differential on the road.

Providence is coming off two games where it faced sub-par competition, thus Texas basketball should be able to come out of the gates faster to take an early lead. Texas basketball is coming off a dominant and impressive showing in a 98-60 home win over the Grand Canyon Antelopes.

NFL 100 DIME GAME 3.5 COWBOYS I am taking the points with the red-hot Cowboys in this contest. The Cowboys have won five consecutive games, and they are also 5-0 ATS in that span. The Colts rely on their strong passing game to generate a significant portion of their offense, and Dallas features a stellar pass defense that is holding opponents to an average of only 226.5 passing yards per game. The over is the play as well.

NFL 100 DIME GAME CARDINALS +10 In the department of a recent comment opponent, Arizona has at least one reason to feel good about itself heading into Sunday. While two of the Cardinals’ three wins have come at the expense of lowly San Francisco, they also beat Green Bay at Lambeau Field in Week 14–leading to the firing of head coach Mike McCarthy. Seven days later, of course, Atlanta got blown out in the Frozen Tundra. The Falcons are 1-4 ATS in their last five against the NFC and 0-4 ATS in their last four following a loss. Arizona is 14-5 ATS in its last 19 on the road against opponents with losing home records. The Cardinals are getting nine points and there is really no situation right now in which this Atlanta team can be expected to win a game by double-digits.

NFL 100 DIME GAME REDSKINS +9 ease honor the Smith family’s request for privacy at this time.” Josh Johnson took over quarterbacking duties for backup Mark Sanchez and threw for 195 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Giants. Running back Adrian Peterson was held to 10 carries for 16 yards. The Skins should do well against the Jags. The Jags have been a disappointment this year.

NBA 100 DIME GAME GRIZZLIES +3.5 In their four meetings last season both teams were tied 2-2 wins and were 1-1 in Memphis (Grizzlies won by 14 points and Rockets by 22).

Rockets are better offensively, scoring 109 ppg to Grizzlies’ third-worse of 102.7, while Grizzlies are better defensively, allowing a second-best of 102 ppg to Rockets’ 109.6. Grizzlies have better percentages both in field goals (45.3% to 45%) and in 3-pointers (35.3% to 34%). They are also better both in dimes made (23.2 to 21.2) and in turnovers committed (12.7 to 13.9), while Rockets are only in boards grabbed (41 to 39.7). Grizzlies might be struggling lately but they have been strong at home.

NBA 100 DIME GAME MAGIC +6 In the landscape of NBA efficiency, the Utah Jazz are on the wrong side of the league average. Over the past few seasons the Jazz relied on their defence to win them tough, grind it out games against the leagues best. This year that defence has slipped and they’re still trying to figure out how to bring it back. While the rule changes to physicality have definitely affected the Jazz more than any other squad, they’ve not been effective on the offensive end either. Back to back losses to the Spurs and Thunder show the team has a lot of work to do to compete in the West again. Teams have gotten better, but the Jazz may be a move away from getting back into form.
