Taking the SPURS here. I said when we had these guys in Game 1, I thought they were going to win the series. Well the last couple games I didn't see blowouts on the horizon. But, this is the team I thought they were. They gave Miami everything last year and basically choked away a title. That won't happen here at home. I know part of me wants to grab the points with Miami. Tough not to back the back to back Champs after those losses. But I think the Spurs are a bad match-up for the Heat. No shame in winning 2 titles in 4 years for Miami. People just need to curb the LeBron is better than Jordan chatter. The guy is great, but he can't beat a team 1 on 5. Duncan will head off into the sunset with his 5th title. 5th!! Rare air there. 5* Best Bet SAN ANTONIO SPURS

the same conditions. He has cramped before, so I think it is just poor conditioning. That being said. You really think he isn't going to come out like gang-busters tonight. As much as him not playing helped the Spurs, let's be honest, is San Antonio making 14 of 16 shots in the 4th quarter. Is EITHER team making 14 of 16 in ANY quarter! So yes, LeBron being out the last 7+ minutes helps. Shooting 87% also helps. The Heat were actually winning Game 1 heading to the 4th. 8* Sure Shot MIAMI HEAT

Taking the SPURS here. I like SA to win this whole thing. We get a repeat of last years finals. We had the Spurs often in that series also. Tough way to go down. But this team, in true veteran fashion is right back to take a swing at the Champs. This team nearly pulled it out last year. I think they will contain James better with Leonard and Diaw. That is going to be difference maker. If they can keep James in check, Spurs with a better team, should win this thing. Trend wise, home team 4-1 ATS L5, fave is 6-2 ATS L8 and Spurs 5-2 ATS last 7 vs Heat. 5* BEST BET SAN ANTONIO SPURS

Taking the HEAT here. I have had the Pacers all series long. But it is time to take the Heat. Indiana barely escaped last game. And that was with LeBron saddled with foul trouble the entire game and shooting the way you would. One, he will not be in foul trouble at home. Not happening. And he will be very aggressive getting to the rim after that shooting performance. I like the whole, blow in your ear, rattle you thing. LeBron, for as great as he is. Is no Jordan. But I expect to see that Jordan assassin from him tonight. He is sometimes too 'nice' a guy on the court. He will be looking to finish off Indy tonight by himself. 5* Best Bet MIAMI HEAT

I think he will be more aggressive going to the basket. But I think the Nets defense will still do a good job here. Not sure why we are getting extra points here. Maybe the Raptors are viewed as 'desperate' to even the series. I thought BK would win this is 5 before the series started.

Brooklyn lost in a b2b after beating the Heat. Ok. Let-down. Perfectly understandable. Then after beating Boston in a KG-Paul Pierce reunion tour, they turn the ball over with 6 seconds left and lose by a bucket. I think the Raptors over-achieved while Brooklyn underachieved. Kidd might be a rookie coach, but he knows what it's like this time of year. I'm going Nets to win this game and series. 10* Money-Bomb BROOKLYN NETS

Badgers rolled Baylor who was off a huge 30pt win. While Arizona struggled in a fierce defensive game against the Aztecs. Not that Baylor quit, but they just looked lost after getting down. Wiscy is one of those methodical teams that wears you down all over the court. Arizona though is right up with the Gators having the best defense in the country. I also feel that they are just the better team. More athletic, deeper bench. I will lay the short number as I see this shaping up as the Wildcats approaching a 10pt victory. 10* Money-Bomb ARIZONA

You can easily overlook the Cavs. They are far from your typical ACC Power. Yet, these guys won the regular season and tournament championships. You can say the ACC is down. They have taken care of everyone on their plate though. This is just the 2nd time ever a 1 seed is a dog in this round. I like Izzo. But he hasn't fared well facing the ACC (11-22 SU) and 3-7 SU vs 1 seeds. This is as good a defense as the Spartans have faced. Let's not forget these guys blew a 16pt lead vs Harvard and clawed out a win. They won't be doing that against this team I can guarantee that. 8* Sure - Shot VIRGINIA

We have a pair of the top defensive teams in the country. Arizona has much more athletic and the better scoring options. That is the difference here. The Aztecs rely entirely too much on Xavier Thames. One man isn't good enough to bring down this Wildcats team. I don't care that this is almost a 'home' game for San Diego State.

True story bro! Stephen F Austin has neither the size nor depth to last in this game. The talent level is about as far apart as these schools are located. This game is gift wrapped for UCLA and their HC. Both with a history of some early tournament failures. Bruins are peaking at the right time. And although I believe SFA will be motivated again to show everyone they are for real. Last year, 11 seed Colorado upset winner. Next game, lost by 17 to 3 seed.

Carolina showed me some heart last game coming back against the Friars. The have lost 2 of their last 3 (Pitt, Duke) but had run off 12 straight before that.

Taking LOUISVILLE here. A pair of teams heading in different directions as the season ended. UL throttling teams. STL losing to them. So, I cashed with Manhattan as a Top 10 over UL on Thursday. The thinking was easy there. 1, Pitino facing and old coach and player. And more importantly reason 2. Jaspers play UL style ball. I mean, the coach was calling the UL plays on offense while his team was defending. So I don't put much stock into that tough game. Do take notice how Smith and Hancock buried critical 3s when needed though. STL limped to the finish line and needed the extra session to get past a trendy NCST team. But the needed OT to do. I think that puts as much strain on their players as the close battle UL faced. So it comes down to talent and execution. I think UL will bring the defense that the have been bringing for the last 2 months. Would be shocked to see STL get in the 60s here. 8* Sure Shot LOUISVILLE

But the have had some battles. This Pitt group is tough. First year in ACC play, but the former Big East squad is anything but a stranger to March wins. 7 of their 9 losses have been by 5 or less.

Then 61 over Rutgers and 29 over Houston before beating Uconn again the championship by 10 which was never even as close as that score would indicate. How aren't they winning by 20+ here?

A Colorado team mind you that just lost of one of, if not their best player. Maybe the Buffs at 100% I would maybe, maybe think this is a fair seeding. I love seeing the lower seed favored here. 8* Sure Shot PITT PANTHERS

Taking TEXAS SOUTHERN here. I'm no huge backing of SWAC teams, but I have to fade Poly here. What a run these guys just completed. They were 10-19 coming into the Big West Tournament and ran the table. On the way the knocked off UC Santa Barbara who was 21-9, 12-4 in conference play. Then regular season Champs Cal Irvine 13-3 and 23-11 overall. To wrap things up, a win over a CS Northridge team that also overachieved and claim the tournament championship. Maybe they are riding high here. But I know Texas Southern is riding a 9 game win streak. They have a big center, Murray who scored 48 against Temple. Now, Temple isn't like, the old John Chaney Temple's, but 48 is 48. And I would put a team 6 games under .500 from the Big West in the same basket. 8* Sure Shot TEXAS SOUTHERN

Taking STONY BROOK here. I will be honest here. Normally, I see a team at 15-17 favored over a 23-10 team and I would be moving my money on Sienna. But in some cases, you have to look past that. Stony had a great conference season going 15-4 in conference play and losing the Championship to Albany. But Albany won it last year, and had some guys back. So it isn't that much of a stunner for them. Also, this is Stony Brook. This isn't like some Big East or Big 10 team getting shafted to a smaller tournament. These guys want to play and win. Sienna played in a little better conference, but I think talent wise there isn't much difference. And side by side, Stony Brook is the better program right now. 5* Best Bet STONY BROOK

Basically, I think Duke has the best player on the court in Parker. Please, do think I am a Duke homer. Far from it. But I do think Coach K can coach and will get his team to take care of business here. Cavs have had a nice year, regular season ACC Champs. Can't see them pulling off the sweep though. Look for Duke to cut down the nets, something they haven't done since 2011. 10* Money-Bomb DUKE

I saw these guys get blitzed 72-45 vs Tennessee. I also saw them have a lead on the road over these same Gators. But I just think Florida is too deep a team. If MizzU can't hold a 9pt lead over A&M, what will they do against a team that is actually pretty talented. Fact is that Gators have been dominating their last 3 games winning by an average of 21. Tigers are off a double OT game, and I just don't think they will have the legs to stay with Florida. 8* Sure-Shot FLORIDA GATORS

He came back and really hurt his stock with his actions. He needs to show people he is still a leader and a good soldier who won't do something dumb. I know Kansas has dominated the Big 12.

Boston evened things out 71-62 a month later at home, but that road loss sticks out to me. American clearly shot the moon that game. Boston shot 32% from the field (16-50) and 25% from 3 (4-16). The Eagles, 71% from the floor and 78%, 11-16 from 3. I doubt you lose any games with numbers like that. More true to form numbers showed up in the rematch resulting in the Boston win. The Terriers have been red hot offensively in the tournament, putting up 91 in both games. American has been defensive juggernauts allowing 48ppg in their 2 tourney games.

These guys have dominated WCC play for years and have won enough in the NCAAs to get that label repelled. I think Memphis has something to prove here. They cruised to win over Rutgers last time out (I had RU) after losing to SMU. Tigers want to show the ESPN viewing public they can play. They can get up for big teams having already won AT Louisville. I expect a big game here tonight in front of their home fans. 5* Best Bet MEMPHIS TIGERS

Taking SMU here. Like this Mustangs team. Larry Brown doing a nice job here in Texas. Cincy comes in off a big win over UConn and find themselves ranked #7 in the land 22-2 overall, and having reeled off 15 straight wins. Back on New Year's, Cincy cruised to an 8pt win at home. Cincy just 3-11 ATS last 14 on the road and 2-5 ATS last 7 overall. SMU is a bankroll building run of 9-1 ATS last 10 overall and a perfect 6-0 ATS at home. 8* Sure Shot SMU MUSTANGS

Taking CHATTANOOGA here. Mocs have gone 3-0-1 ATS last 4 in this series and 4-1 ATS last 5 here at Samford. They are a nice 6-1-2 ATS run their last 9. I think this team is the top dog in SoCon and have won 6 of the last 7 in this match-up SU. 8* Sure Shot CHATTANOOGA

Taking OAKLAND here. I like this team. They are never afraid to go out conference and play the big schools. For years these guys have been traveling battle the giants. This year alone. NC, UCLA, Cal, Gonzaga, MichSt, and Indiana. A couple middies in Ohio and Illinois State. Plus don't sell the Horizon short because Butler left. Detroit, Valpo and this Cleveland State are solid clubs. Back to the Grizzlies. A small dog here and the line is shrinking as the public jumps on the team with the better record. Cleveland State has a 10pt home win last month over these guys and are riding a nice 4 game win streak. But this is still their 4th straight road game. Always a tough act to win on the road and wining 4 in the row isn't easy. Oakland off a 22pt road loss and will look to get a win in their own building tonight. 5* Best Bet OAKLAND GRIZZLIES

Taking MEMPHIS here as my NBA GAME of the WEEK! Memphis comes in off a terrible loss to the Thunder where they shot 39% from the field and just 12% from 3 which contributed to the 86-77 loss. They will be looking to get that taste out of their mouth's and water better way then to face Dallas who they have double revenge with having lost back in November and December already this season. I look for Memphis to get it done here at home. 10* Money-Bomb MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

Taking OHIO here. This is one of those spots where we jump right in with both feet into the deep end. We are 4-0 with our Top 10*s in CBB so far by playing games like this. We have a ranked UMass team, on the road, now laying 1.5, even 1 in some spots after opening at 3 and the public is all over the Minutemen. They have senior leadership while Ohio is replacing their top scorers from last year. Ohio is 44-3 last 47 at home vs non-conference opponents. Lets go Bobcats. 10* Money-Bomb OHIO

Taking the PISTONS here. Will gladly take Detroit at this price. I have been picking my spots in the NBA, and this one screams winner for me. Pistons a much better team than Brooklyn. We get the bonus of the Nets off a big National TV Winner last night over Clippers and we the added value of a soft line. I think this Nets team has a lot of problems. From their coach right through a banged up line-up. In this b2b spot, I will grab the home team here. 5* Best Bet DETROIT PISTONS

Taking COLORADO here. Right off the bat, we are in big revenge mode here. KU crushed the Buffs last year 90-54 last year. Kansas has lost some talent from that squad even as they welcome in this kid Wiggins who is suppose to be the next big thing. Jayhawks off the Paradise Jam in the Bahamas and have 'bigger' named and ranked Florida on deck. Let's stick with that 'ranked' theme for a second. You know I love when I see unranked giving to ranked. And when we have a top 10 team like Kansas catching a point, well I am very interested. Buffaloes 5-2 ATS last 7 in this series. We have cashed every Top 10 we have put out so far in CBB this season. (3-0) We will get the money again this afternoon. 10* Money-Bomb COLORADO BUFFALOES
