At 7:00 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Wisconsin Badgers (635) and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (636). THE SITUATION: Wisconsin (5-4) snapped their three-game losing streak on Saturday with their 84-64 win over Indiana as a 2-point underdog. Rutgers (6-3) has lost their last two games with their 77-65 loss at Michigan State as a 14-point underdog on Sunday.

REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Badgers have played 7 straight games Under the Total after an upset win as a home underdog — and they have played 27 of their last 32 games after an upset victory over a Big Ten rival. Wisconsin made 53.6% of their shots in that game which was their best shooting effort of the season. But this Badgers team has struggled to make baskets this season. They are 280th in the nation by making only 30.7% of their shots from behind the arc. Wisconsin is solid with a 52.9% shooting percentage inside the arc (75th in the nation) but they are facing a Scarlet Knights team that is 41st in the nation by limiting their opponents to just 43.1% shooting inside the arc. Now this team goes back on the road where they are scoring a mere 54.7 PPG on low 37% shooting. But Wisconsin is still playing solid defense on the road as they are holding their home hosts to just 63.7 PPG on 44.4% shooting. The Badgers have played 4 straight games Under the Total on the road — and they have played 4 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Additionally, Wisconsin has played 13 of their last 17 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% — and they have played 19 of their last 26 games Under the Total as an underdog. Rutgers has played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after a straight-up win — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss where they covered the point spread as an underdog. And while the Scarlet Knights have played four straight Overs, they have then played 8 of their last 12 games Under the Total after playing at least two straight Overs. Now this team returns home where they are holding their opponents to just 56.5 PPG while limiting them to making only 35.6% of their shots. Rutgers has played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total at home against teams with a winning percentage below 40% on the road. The Scarlet Knights have also played 8 of their last 11 games Under the Total when listed in the +/- 3-point range.

FINAL TAKE: Rutgers is getting much of their offense from crashing the offensive glass — they are pulling down 33.7% of their missed shots which is 47th in the nation. But the Badgers are still doing a good job of protecting their defensive glass this season as they rank 22nd in the nation by holding their opponents to rebounding just 23.0% of their missed shots. 25* CBB Big Ten Total of the Month with Under the Total in the game between the Wisconsin Badgers (635) and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (636). Best of luck for us — Frank.

Take Under the Total in the game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Toronto Raptors. Los Angeles (18-7) has won four of their last five games with their 110-99 win at Indiana on Monday as a 3-point underdog. The Clippers have then played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total after a double-digit victory. Los Angeles has also played 5 straight road games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage over 60% at home. Toronto (16-7) snapped their three-game losing streak with their 93-92 win at Chicago on Monday as a 6-point favorite. The Under is 3-1-1 in the Raptors’ last 5 games after a point spread loss. The Under is also 3-1-1 in their last 5 games as an underdog. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

At 7:05 PM ET on Wednesday, we will be playing the Toronto Raptors (504) plus the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers (503). THE SITUATION: Toronto (16-7) snapped a three-game losing streak on Monday with their 93-92 victory at Chicago as a 6-point favorite. Los Angeles (18-7) has won two straight as well as four of their last five games with their 110-99 upset win at Indiana on Monday as a 3-point underdog.

REASONS TO TAKE THE RAPTORS PLUS THE POINTS: Toronto has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5 games after a straight-up win — and they have covered a decisive 21 of their last 26 games when playing with one day of rest. And while the Raptors have not covered the point spread in four straight games, they have then covered the point spread in 14 of their last 19 games after failing to cover the point spread in four of their last five games. They defeated the Bulls despite making just 37.8% of their shots which was the worst shooting effort in their last five contests. Toronto has not missed much of a beat despite losing Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green in the offseason. Pascal Siakam has filled the role as the team’s number one scoring option. Siakam exploded to start the season by scoring 27.9 PPG while rebounding 9.3 RPG and adding 3.6 Assists-Per-Game in his first eight games with 51.9/41.3/95.0 shooting splits. Regression was not surprising but Siakam still scored 22.8 PPG over his next fourteen games (before Monday) with 8.1 RPG and 3.7 APG while producing still solid shooting splits of 42.8/34.1/73.0. The Raptors won nine of those fourteen games despite Siakam’s drop-in productizing while dealing with some injuries to Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka over that span. Toronto now returns home where they are 9-2 this season with an average winning margin of +8.6 PPG. This team remains elite on defense this season — they are holding their visitors to just 41.7% shooting on their home court. But second-year head coach Nick Nurse deserves a ton of credit for maintaining a highly efficient offense without Leonard — the Raptors are scoring 118.5 PPG at home while nailing 47.7% of their shots. The Raptors are 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 games at home — and they have covered the point spread in 4 straight home games against teams with a losing record on the road. Toronto has also covered the point spread 12 of their last 17 home games when listed in the +/- 3-point range — and they are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 home games as an underdog. The Raptors are also 13-6-1 ATS in their last 20 games against teams with a winning record. Los Angeles played its best defensive game of the season on Monday by holding the Pacers to just 35.4% shooting from the field. But the Clippers have failed to cover the point spread in 3 of their last 4 after a win on the road. They also have failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games after winning two games in a row. Furthermore, while Los Angeles has only lost one game via the point spread in their last five contests, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 3 straight games after covering the point spread expectation in four or five of their last six games. And while the Clippers have scored 135 and 110 points in their last two games, they have then failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 8 games after scoring at least 110 points in their previous two games. Now this team stays on the road for the fourth straight game but they are just 5-6 away from home this season while being outscored by -1.0 PPG. Los Angeles has failed to cover the point spread in 7 of their last 10 games on the road.

FINAL TAKE: Leonard did not play on Monday but will take the court again tonight in his return to Toronto where he will be given his championship ring. But his former Raptors’ teammates will be motivated to avenge a 98-88 loss to the Clippers in the Staples Center back on November 11th. 25* NBA Wednesday ESPN Game of the Month with the Toronto Raptors (504) plus the points versus the Los Angeles Clippers (503). Best of luck for us — Frank.
