Raptors +7.5
The Los Angeles Lakers host the Toronto Raptors on Friday. Los Angeles is coming off a 108-102 win over New Orleans, while Toronto beat up on Phoenix their last time out, 98-71.
Raptors coach Dwayne Casey is known as one of the great defensive minds in the NBA, creating the blueprint that helped the Dallas Mavericks to their first NBA Championship in 2011.
The additions of Kyle Lowry and now Rudy Gay, along with a larger role for Amir Johnson and a diminished role for Andrea Bargnani, have finally given Casey the horses to play the type of basketball he wants to play.

Loyola Marymount +11
Loyola Marymount was a major underachiever this year. With Anthony Ireland and Ashley Hamilton, I would have expected this team to win quite a few games in the WCC.
Instead, Loyola struggled through a horrible regular season.
They have shown signs of life in the WCC tournament though. They beat a pretty good San Francisco team in overtime yesterday. Ireland and Hamilton have both played much better of late, and they are capable of taking over a game at any time. Santa Clara has had almost a week off, and this could be a case where the team is a little rusty. Loyola Marymount has found a rhythm the last couple days. Santa Clara is a solid team, but I definitely don

Atlanta has had some scoring troubles crop up on them, and that is the last thing they need with Philadelphia coming to town.
The Hawks have scored 91.0 points per game over their last three contests overall, and have scored just 83.3 points per game against the 76ers over their last four meetings, including an 80 point output against Philadelphia in the first meeting between these teams this season.

Georgetown +1
The Georgetown Hoyas continue to be the Rodney Dangerfield of college basketball. Even though the Hoyas are first in the Big East standings, and they are riding a big 11 game winning streak, they are still an underdog against a decent Villanova team.
The Hoyas have beaten Syracuse and Cincinnati handily on the road in the last couple weeks. Villanova certainly needs this win, and that is probably why the line is where it is.
However, I think the "they have to win this game" angle is being overplayed here. Just because the Wildcats really need a win to get into the NCAA Tournament doesn't mean they are automatically going to get a win.
I don't expect Georgetown to make it easy on the Wildcats at all, and Georgetown is the much better defensive team.
The Hoyas are led by the Big East favorite for Player of the Year, Otto Porter. Porter has been absolutely outstanding all season. Georgetown has beaten numerous teams better than Villanova this year, and they have plenty of veteran leadership to get them through this one.
Don't forget, Georgetown really needs this game as well since they are fighting to win the Big East regular season title.
Georgetown is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 following an ATS loss. Take Georgetown. 7* Play on Georgetown +1

Memphis vs. UTEP Under 129
The Memphis Tigers are clearly the best team in Conference USA, but I'm not sure the Tigers are as good as many people believe they are.
Memphis likes to get out in transition and use their athleticism, but when they are forced to play in the half court the Tigers aren't particularly strong on offense.
If there is a team in the conference that is going to force them to play half court basketball it is UTEP. Tim Floyd is the head coach for UTEP, and Floyd is known for his defensive prowess. Floyd's teams always slow the game down, and he knows they have to slow this one down to have any chance against a team with superior athleticism.
UTEP will be using up the shot clock and clamping down on defense here. Memphis hasn

Toronto is 6-0 ATS in their last six road games, and 3-0 both straight up and against the spread on the road since acquiring Rudy Gay.

Buzz Williams has done a really good job with the Marquette Golden Eagles basketball program.
This is now a proud program that is tough to beat at home. Marquette is unbeaten at home so far this year.
Granted, they haven't played teams quite as good as Pittsburgh, but they have taken care of business in a big way. 13-0 is no small feat. Pittsburgh has been up and down this year. The Panthers looked pretty bad at times earlier this year, but they have played better of late.
Still, Pittsburgh doesn't have anyone dominating on their roster, and Marquette can really play solid defense.
The Panthers are often forced into bad shots late in the shot clock against strong defenses, and that should happen here. Remember, Marquette actually beat Pittsburgh 74-67 in overtime at Pittsburgh earlier this season.
The style of game that both these teams play generally lends itself to a close game. In what should be a close game, I like taking the home team, especially when I get points.
The underdog is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings between these two. Take Marquette. 7* Play on Marquette +2

Hofstra & Georgia State under 128.5
The Hofstra Pride have very little offensive firepower. In their last 8 games, Hofstra has scored more than 60 points only once (they scored 65 in their last game).
The Pride have improved defensively as the season has moved along, primarily because that is the only way they are going to stay in the game. Three of their best players are suspended due to an arrest earlier this year.
Georgia State is one of the teams in the CAA that likes to slow the game down a bit. Coach Ron Hunter had some good defenses at IUPUI, and he is implementing the same system at Georgia State.
Hofstra is averaging less than 58 points per game on the road this year, and I think Georgia State

Michigan St. +1.5
The Michigan Wolverines are an excellent team, and this play is in no way a fade of their ability. It's all about how tough winning on the road is in the Big Ten.
Winning on the road in the Big Ten against a quality opponent this year is extremely difficult. East Lansing is one of the very toughest places in the conference for visiting teams. Tom Izzo's Michigan State Spartans started the year looking a little sloppy, but as they seem to do every year his team is rounding into form at the right time of the year.
Michigan State has won nine of their last ten games overall. They are 14-0 at home this year. Michigan State is the best rebounding team in the Big Ten, and I think they'll control the glass in this one. As good as Michigan may be (they are good), I just don't see how they can be favored against the Spartans on the road. Michigan State's defense should make it tough for the Wolverines offense to get open looks in this contest. The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings between these two.
Michigan State is 4-0-1 ATS in their last 5 following a win. Take Michigan State.

Pacers -8.5
The Indiana Pacers play host to the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. The Pacers had won five straight games before Friday's 100-98 overtime loss to Toronto, while the Nets fell 111-86 to San Antonio on Sunday.
Don't be fooled by the Pacers loss to Toronto on Friday. Indiana was playing their fourth game in five nights which included a stretch of back-to-back-to-back games. The Pacers were extremely tired and their 15-game home winning streak was snapped.
The Pacers will be well rested for Monday's matchup and will take comfort in the fact that they've won eight of the last nine meetings between these teams at home.
Meanwhile, the Nets have not looked good in recent weeks. Brooklyn has dropped six of their last nine games with all six losses coming by nine points or more. They've also committed more turnovers than their opponents in all but two of their last 13 games.
The Nets are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games playing on no days rest. They're also one of the streakier teams in the NBA posting a 5-12 ATS in their last 17 games following a loss. Take the Pacers.
Good luck, Razor Ray

Delaware -7.5
The Old Dominion Monarchs visit the Bob Carpenter Center on Monday for a CAA matchup with the Delaware Blue Hens. ODU is coming off of a hard fought overtime loss to Northeastern while Delaware picked up a 79-72 road win over George Mason on Saturday.
The Monarchs have played substantially better since Jim Corrigan was promoted to interim head coach. Old Dominion emerged with a shocking win at Drexel before almost knocking off the conference leader, Northeastern. Expect a flat performance from the Monarchs here.
ODU has managed to shoot above 40 percent from the floor over their past three games after failing to do so in their previous eight games, meaning a regression to the mean is due.
The Monarchs already dropped an 84-72 home decision to the Blue Hens this season and Delaware turned the ball over a whopping 21 times in that game. Without all of those wasted possessions, the Hens would have ran ODU out of the building.
The Monarchs are just 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and a terrible 3-13 ATS in their last 16 conference games. Take Delaware.
Good luck, Razor Ray

The Orlando Magic host the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday. Orlando is coming off a 119-108 loss to Cleveland, while Portland dropped their last game to Houston, 118-103.
The Orlando offense has been hit or miss over the last two weeks. The team has averaged 85.9 points per game over their last seven contests, failing to reach 85 points in four of those games, including a 76- point effort in their last home game.
With Dwight Howard gone the team has run their offense through Jameer Nelson, and as the brittle Nelson deals with injuries, the Magic offense will struggle to score points consistently.

The Irish are 13-3 on their home court this season. Jack Cooley recorded his fifth double-double in the last six games on Monday. Cooley averages 14.8 points per game for the Irish, and ranks fifth in the country and tops in the Big East with 11.3 rebounds per game.

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have one of the worst offenses in all of college basketball. Eastern Michigan averages just 52 points per game on the road this year. They shoot a horrible percentage from the floor.
How do the Eagles stay in games? They employ a stall tactic and play strong defense to try to drag the other team into a sloppy low scoring contest.
The last five meetings between these teams have finished at 100, 119, 119, 79, and 127 points.
Only one of those games went above this posted total, and that was because of higher than average shooting percentages from both teams. Clearly these two have a history of playing low scoring games against each other.

After the TCU loss, Bill Self was extremely critical of this Kansas team. He even went as far to say that he wished he could start only 3 players to prove a point.
Bill Self is a very good coach, and my guess is that this Kansas team will learn a big lesson from their loss at TCU.

Houston is tops in the league in pace of play with 98.8 offensive possessions per game and ranks second in the NBA in scoring on the season with 105.8 points per contest. They've played over the total in three of their last four games.
The Trail Blazers have picked up their pace of late, playing over the total in four of their last five games, averaging 102.5 points per game in those four games.

We were on UW Thursday night vs. Arizona in an underdog spot with a 5* free play and they delivered for us with a 4 point loss to Arizona. We're going to ride them again on Saturday night as a -4 favorite at Hec Ed vs. ASU.
Washington did so many things right vs. Arizona. They held them 35.1 field goal percentage, they shut down the Arizona 3-point shooters by limiting them to 3 of 18 (.167) shots behind the arc, they also forced 17 turnovers. They were just really unlucky. It's sports, it happens. The Huskies committed several costly errors, that's what did them in.
Yes the Dawgs have lost their last four to drop into the middle of the pack in the Pac 12 but this is still a team that boasts a ton of talent.
