3/18 08:05 PM EST NBA (811) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES VS (812) HOUSTON ROCKETS Take: (811) MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES Reason: Minnesota winds up a road trip on a 4-2 spread run, winning at Memphis the last game, 114-108. Zach Lavine scored 28 points and matched his career high with six 3-pointers, and Minnesota weathered a late rally by Memphis in a 114-108 victory over the Grizzlies on Wednesday night. The Timberwolves are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 when their opponent scores 100 points or more in their previous game. They face a Houston defense that is No. 21 in the NBA in field goal shooting and No. 27 in points allowed. And the Rockets are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a double-digit loss at home.

The Celtics are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 road games. Toronto helped the Celtics out a bit by knocking off seventh-place Indiana in overtime on Wednesday. Bismack Biyombo hauled in a franchise-record 25 rebounds as the Raptors got within two games of East-leading Cleveland. The Raptors are on a 4-1 ATS run and hold all the cards. Play Toronto.

Seton Hall opened as a dog here and has had an incredible run through the Big East tournament as they defeated both Xavier and Villanova as a dog to win the Conference Tournament Championship. The Big East Title earned the Pirates a No 6 seed in the NCAA tourney. Seton Hall makes its first appearance in the big dance in 10 years and will face 11th seeded Gonzaga. The Zags needed to win the West Coast Conference title from St Mary's in order to get their NCAA bid. The win left St Mary's on the outside looking in. Seton Hall has won 12 of their last 14 games S/U and is 14-3 ATS their last 17 games. Gonzaga has won five in a row, both S/U and ATS. However, this is not the same Bulldogs team that advanced to the Elite Eight last season. Gonzaga was just 1-3 S/U this year against ranked opponents. Big difference here in the competition these teams have played. Gonzaga had really just St Mary's to contend with in the WCC. However, Seton Hall had to traverse the Big East and some very good teams, including Villanova, Xavier, Providence and Butler. Take Seton Hall.

USC didn't help it's own cause down the stretch either, going 3-7 over their last 10 games. The Trojans weren't very good to bettors either, going 2-6 ATS their last eight and 5-10 ATS over the last 15 games. Meanwhile, Providence covered its last five games in a row, losing out to Villanova in the Big East Tournament. Providence is a high scoring team and has a legitimate NBA lottery pick on the club in Kris Dunn. I like Providence in this game, as I don't believe USC should even be here. Either way, the winner of this game has North Carolina on deck. Play Providence.

San Diego State had to settle for the NIT after losing in the Mountain West Championship game to Fresno, 68-63.

When looking at a matchup like this, you have to take these things into consideration. IUPU Fort Worth had a nice season, finishing 23-9 and coming within one point of that automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The Mastadons lost to North Dakota State, 69-68. The Mastadons will make their first ever NIT appearance here tonight. IPFW has a balanced attack with four players averaging in double figures, led by Max Landis and his 19.5 ppg. Motivation has to be a big part of the picture in these "other" tournaments. The Mastadons played a lot of games on the road, going 12-8 this season S/U away from home. They are no stranger to playing in front of hostile crowds. I'm going to take the points here with the Mastadons.

Florida struggled in SEC conference play this season and down the stretch was just 2-5 S/U. Moreover, the Gators really took a bite out of bettors wallets with a 3-9 ATS run to close out the season. North Florida ended the season with a 22-11 S/U record. They only had two games against the spread and split those. The Ospreys played a tough non-conference schedule, with games against Illinois, Louisville, St Louis, LSU, Dayton, Arkansas and VCU. This type of game really helps North Florida more than it does Florda. The Ospreys are vying for the same athletes as the Gators and a win here would give them a little extra recruiting bump. Only 71 miles separate these schools and I look for North Florida to have all the motivational factors in this US-301 rivalry. Take North Florida.

Reason: 10-Star Road Shocker: Golden State is the odds on favorite to win it all this season, but when it comes to making money, they can be a good go-against. That's the case here tonight as I'm taking the points with the Pelicans. The Oddsmakers have really adjusted the lines on the Warriors and it has showed in the results. The Warriors have covered just five times in the last 15 games. The Warriors can pretty much name the final scores at home against this level of competition. However, with a three game in four night stretch coming up, including back-to-back games at Dallas and Sacramento - I'm looking for the Warriors to rest players as much as possible.

The Wolves are just 3-6 S/U in their last nine games. Phoenix isn't much better, but is 2-3 in the last five.

03/12 06:00 PM EST CB (745) FRESNO STATE VS (746) SAN DIEGO STATE. Take: (745) FRESNO STATE. Reason: Fresno State (24-9) has won 8 in a row and 10 of 11. The Bulldogs are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games vs. a team with a winning straight up record. Fresno State senior guard Marvelle Harris scored 19 points to lead the second-seeded Fresno State men's basketball team past No. 6 seed Colorado State 64-56 on Friday night in the Mountain West Basketball Championships semifinals at the Thomas & Mack Center. The Fresno State defense limited Colorado State to a season-low 23 percent (13 of 57) from the field. They match up well with a San Diego State Aztecs team that is 4-12-1 ATS following a spread win. And the Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Play Fresno State.

The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games following a straight up win of more than 20 points. The Georgia Bulldogs are making their third straight appearance in the semifinals and need to spring an upset to be considered for an NCAA Tournament berth, but they will probably have to win the tournament to reach the Big Dance. Georgia is 49-24-1 ATS against the SEC! The sixth-seeded Bulldogs upset No. 3 seed South Carolina 65-64 on Friday when J.J.

3/12 3:00 PM EST CB (739) CONNECTICUT VS (740) TEMPLE. Take: (740) CBB Situational Game of the Year: Temple. Often difficult during these conference tournaments when teams have to play back-to-back games and sometimes three games in three days. But when you have to endure an overtime the previous day, it can take a toll on the legs. That's just the case here. UConn had to go to FOUR overtimes to dispatch Cincinnati on Friday. That was the equivalent of playing an entire extra half of basketball. Then they turn right around and play today against Temple. Temple has been playing very well, winning four straight and nine of the last 11 games. The Owls had little trouble with South Florida in their opening AAC tourney game on Friday, winning 79-62. The Owls are 19-8 ATS in their last 27 games following a spread win. Temple has beaten the Huskies twice this season and they make it three in a row. The Huskies have to be tired after that marathon game on Friday. I think the oddsmakers have the wrong favorite here and the Huskies are 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings. Take Temple.

3/12 2:00 PM EST CB (733) UL - LAFAYETTE VS (734) ARKANSAS LITTLE ROCK. Take: (733) UL - LAFAYETTE Reason: If UL Lafayette looks to get past this semi finals contest, they will have to do so against the top seeded Arkansas Little Rock squad. The Ragin' Cajuns breezed through their quarterfinal game on Friday with an easy win over South Alabama, 90-68. The Cajuns showcased their sharp shooting in that game. ULL is ranked 35th in scoring in the nation with 79.6 ppg average and they also shoot 44.4% from the floor. This club also gets to the charity stripe quite often, averaging 25.6 free throws per game. Arkansas Little Rock might have to shake the cob webs out here, having been off for nine days now. The Trojans were 17-3 S/U in the Sun Belt this season. The Trojans also have a very good defense, ranked 3rd in the nation allowing just 59.8 ppg. This game will be the ULL great offense against the Arkansas LR defense. I think the layoff could hurt the Trojans here though as they might come out a bit flat for this one. I'm going to take the points with Lafayette.

Reason: Road Warrior Game of the Month: San Antonio is that "other" team in the West. With all the accolades that the Warriors have received this year, sometimes we forget how good the Spurs are. Not only are they 53-9, but they are undefeated at home (30-0). The Spurs have failed to cover in two straight games, though they did miss out by just 1 1/2 points in both games. That snapped a four game spread win streak. The Spurs could be without F LaMarcus Aldridge (Migraine) tonight, who is currently questionable and averages 17.12 ppg. The Indiana Pacers are 33-30 this season. They have covered just three of their last eight games. In addition, the Pacers are 0-5 ATS their last five games at home. Spurs do well on the road playing at teams with winning records (9-4 ATS the last 13). I like the road team here going away. Take San Antonio.

03/06 06:05 PM EST NBA (829) PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS VS (830) DETROIT PISTONS. Take: (829) NBA Situational Slam Dunk of the Month: Portland. A tough situational spot -- for the home team! Portland won the first three in a stretch of four road games in five nights and winds up the trip here. They played well in losing the last game at Toronto, getting the cover, and have a day of rest for this one. This is a fine all around team on a roll with a dynamite backcourt. The Trail Blazers are 9-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall. Detroit is the worst free throw shooting team in the NBA and had to play last night, at New York. That was their 4th road game in six contests and the Pistons are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 vs. the Western Conference. And the Blazers are 11-4 ATS in the last 15 meetings in Detroit. Play Portland.

The Jazz don't do well on 1 day rest, going 0-5 ATS their last five attempts. Boston, on the other hand, is 4-1 ATS when having one day off. The favorite has done well in these meetings, going 8-2-2 ATS the last 12. In addition, Boston is 6-2-2 ATS the last 10 meetings. Celtics scoring very well and the Jazz had to make the trip east for this one. I'm taking the favorite here in Boston.

A Special play for a Special Leap Day from Jim. Both these clubs played on Sunday and have their second of a back-to-back spot here on Monday. Indiana lost at home to the Blazers, 111-102, while Cleveland lost at Washington, 113-99. The Cavs did rest Lebron James on Sunday, who should be fairly fresh tonight. The Pacers are just 3-8 ATS their last 11 in this spot, while Cleveland is 5-5-1 ATS their last 11. Moreover, when Indiana has played another team on no rest, the Pacers have come out on the short side, going 0-4 ATS the last four times. Indiana has covered just twice in their last seven chances and chances don't look too good tonight. I'm laying the points with a rested Lebron and the Cavs.
