#843/844 3* UNDER 201.5 Dallas/Orlando 7 PM
You can never gauge how a team will gel after making a significant in-season trade but have to believe the Magic's offense will be at least slightly out of sync trading Tobias Harris. Harris led the team in minutes played per game and while he was only the #4 scores at 13.7 ppg the three players in front only averaged 14.0, 14.3 and 17.0. Since January 1st, Dallas and Orlando are the #24 and #26 scoring offenses and we are definitely a getting value here as the Mavericks last 2 games prior to the All-Star break totaled 224 and 240 points but BOTH were in OT. Excluding that last overtime affair in Dallas' previous 11 games they were 3-8 O/U and the opponents they faced in those 3 games which failed to go UNDER were: Atlanta (#12 scoring offense), Golden State (#1), Houston (#5). Meanwhile Orlando has also been an under team at home of late going 3-7 O/U.

#873/874 4* OVER 141.5 Yale/Princeton 7 PM
Best two teams in the IVY as they are a combined 14-1 in conference play and 18-0 at home. A Princeton win means a probable shared title and a Yale wins makes it "official" with 5 games still left. If this were a football game I would automatically think lower scoring with the host having pressure but the Tigers will do what they do best which is shoot the 3's (#19 of 351 teams in 3-pt att's). Princeton's offense has not been slowed at home as they are averaging 87.7 ppg and versus the Ivy overall they average 81.4 ppg. Yale meanwhile is averaging 79.7 ppg in conference action and the two teams lead the Ivy in FG%. With the numbers above you might think that the teams had a very low scoring game earlier this season but when they played on Jan 30th the total was only 4 points lower (137.5) and the teams combined for 154 points (Yale 79-75).
