All Picks

MILW Milwaukee @ DETM Detroit Mercy -1.5

Milwaukee +2.5

LOSS

Milwaukee's 7-day rest advantage and superior pace/depth make them live dogs in a game that should come down to the final possession.

OKC Oklahoma City Thunder -4.5 @ NYK New York Knicks

New York Knicks +4.5

WIN

The market moved this line from 4.5 to 4 on sharp money — the Knicks are rolling at home and OKC is walking into a buzzsaw at MSG on a schedule spot that favors New York's momentum.

MIA Miami @ SMU SMU -1.5

Miami +1.5

WIN

Miami's superior road splits and season body of work make them the sharper side against an SMU team whose home dominance is inflated by weak competition and who just collapsed on back-to-back road tri

POR Portland Trail Blazers -8.5 @ MEM Memphis Grizzlies

Portland Trail Blazers +9

WIN

Portland's 3-day rest advantage against a Memphis back-to-back at home is being undervalued — take the 9 points and ride the fatigue edge.

UTA Utah Jazz @ PHI Philadelphia 76ers -8.5

Utah Jazz +8.5

WIN

Fading Philly's revenge narrative on zero rest after a 40-point home loss — Jazz keep it close against a rattled, exhausted favorite.

CSU Colorado State @ UNM New Mexico -9.5

New Mexico -8.5

LOSS

New Mexico's home dominance and defensive pressure exploits Colorado State's road woes and turnover issues — Lobos cover in The Pit

MARQ Marquette @ PROV Providence -5.5

Marquette +4.5

WIN

Marquette's road struggles are overpriced in this number — they're more talented and efficient than a 1-10 away record suggests, and +4.5 is too many points against a Providence team that's merely sol

KC Kansas City @ ORU Oral Roberts -8.5

Oral Roberts -8.5

WIN

Oral Roberts demolished Kansas City 94-70 four days ago and the Roos are 1-15 on the road with zero fight left — lay the points at home.

VILL Villanova -2.5 @ DEP DePaul

DePaul +2.5

LOSS

DePaul's fortress at home (12-5) against a Villanova squad still reeling from a 32-point embarrassment and struggling on the road

JAX Jacksonville @ BELL Bellarmine -1.5

Jacksonville +1.5

LOSS

Jacksonville's rebounding edge and recent offensive surge exploits Bellarmine's slow tempo and home struggles — take the points with the hotter team

WAG Wagner @ CCSU Central Connecticut -5.5

Wagner +4.5

WIN

Wagner's 4-game win streak and superior recent form makes this spread 2 points too high — take the surging dog getting a full touchdown.

CHST Chicago State @ LIU Long Island University -11.5

Long Island University -12.5

LOSS

LIU's home dominance and Chicago State's 2-18 road record make this spread too low — books undervaluing home court and familiarity.

MINN Minnesota @ IU Indiana -6.5

Indiana -6.5

WIN

Minnesota's 2-9 road record meets Indiana's 13-4 home fortress — lay the points with the desperate, balanced Hoosiers.

FOR Fordham -2.5 @ LAS La Salle

La Salle +2.5

WIN

La Salle's home/road splits and recent form make them undervalued against a Fordham team that struggles on the road in low-possession grinders

CREI Creighton @ BUT Butler -2.5

Butler -2.5

LOSS

Butler's seven-day rest advantage and 11-6 home dominance crushes a mentally fried Creighton team that's 3-10 on the road and lost 5 of 6.

STET Stetson @ EKU Eastern Kentucky -4.5

Stetson +4.5

WIN

Stetson's offensive rebounding and defensive pressure keep this within a possession; EKU's home edge is overrated after recent defensive breakdowns
