NCAA Basketball Picks: Friday's Best NCAAB Bets

Friday, February 28, 2014 9:03 AM ETCollege basketball fans are going to be able to look at several smaller-conference games on Friday night, but that doesn’t mean bigger conferences will be absent from the schedule. Where have we decided to focus with our NCAA Basketball picks today?

​

Providence Friars vs. Seton Hall Pirates
The Friars are on the NCAA tournament bubble, and since Seton Hall has been struggling for much of this season – at least to the extent that the Pirates do not represent a breakthrough kind of victory for an opponent – Providence has to be able to beat the Hall to avoid suffering a huge dent in its NCAA case. The Friars would move down several spots relative to the bubble and other bubble contenders if they lose this game. Seton Hall, thanks to a recent run of good play, is the favorite in this game on its home court in Newark, N.J. However, the sense here is that Providence is going to put together a strong game, since it should have all the motivation it needs and then some in this case.
Pick: Providence +3

Iona Gaels vs. Manhattan Jaspers
We stay in the north east for the second of our NCAA Basketball picks. This is a game in which Iona won’t be as motivated as Manhattan. Iona leads the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference by two full games with only two games left in the regular season. The Gaels can afford to lose this game on the road and yet still win the MAAC in their 18th and final league game this upcoming weekend. Manhattan is three games behind Iona and is trying to fight for third place in the conference, so that it can avoid Iona until the finals of the MAAC Tournament if the two teams do meet in that event. Iona is going to be the top seed in its conference tournament, so by getting the third seed, Manhattan would play the second seed in a potential semifinal, moving out of Iona’s path until the championship round. That’s going to help Manhattan here, as will home court. Iona will cover the spread, though.
Pick: Iona +5

Washington State Cougars vs. Washington Huskies
This is a game that Washington should win. The Huskies lost at Washington State earlier in the season, so they should be ready to gain revenge here. Playing at home will also propel Washington’s efforts against one of the worst teams in the Pac-12 Conference. Washington State just isn’t a very deep team. It doesn’t have a lot of high-end scorers and secondary options at the offensive end of the court. Washington State doesn’t have a low-post offense. It doesn’t get a lot of scoring near the rim. The Cougars used a big run midway through the second half to beat Washington the last time the two teams played. Being on the road in this game, it’s going to be hard for Washington State to use adrenaline in the same way.
Pick: Washington -8

Players NBA *10* Friday on Oklahoma City on 28 February
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Friday 10* (Top Play) on Oklahoma City vs. Memphis @ 8:00 p.m. ET
The Oklahoma City Thunder host the Memphis Grizzlies Friday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Oklahoma City with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Thunder have stumbled on a three-game losing skid, discounting their odds at home Friday night. Teams as good as OKC don’t stay down for long. 2. Defense has been the big issue during this skid. Oklahoma City ran into a pissed-off Heat team, then couldn’t keep pace with the Clippers run-and-gun. The loss to Cleveland was an avoidable letdown, but Memphis plays a much slower, methodical pace which is a welcome change compared to recent opponents. 3. This is Russell Westbrook’s third game back from a knee injury – coincidently coinciding with the Thunder’s skid. Oklahoma City will have its chemistry issues and rotation figured out by Friday.
Play on Oklahoma City as a 10* Top Selection Friday.
Good luck, Scott.


Players NCAAB *8* Friday on Providence on 28 February
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NBA Friday 8* (Regular Play) on Providence at Seton Hall @ 7:00 p.m. ET
The Seton Hall Pirates host the Providence Friars Friday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on Providence with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. Providence is making a late-season push, coming off a road win at Butler and picking up a recent victory over DePaul. The Friars are sitting on the NCAA bubble and can’t afford a bad loss on their resume this close to Selection Sunday. 2. Seton Hall limps into Friday after back-to-back losses. The Pirates have just one win in their last six outings, suffering a major power outage on offense. Seton Hall is scoring only 63.4 points in those five losses. 3. On the other side of the scale, the Friars are firing on all cylinders when it comes to offense. Providence is averaging 83.3 points over its last three games, and has plenty of scoring depth on the roster. It has four players averaging double figures, including leading scorer Bryce Cotton, who’s putting up 21.5 points a night.
Play on Providence as an 8* Regular Selection Friday.
Good luck, Scott.


Nelly's Friday NBA Total Domination - Feb. 28 (1* UNDER GS/NYK)

02/28/14 Nelly's 1* #805/806 'UNDER 201' Golden State Warriors at New York Knicks 7:05 PM CT
The Knicks enter this game in the shadow of a huge Thursday night game in Miami, a big game for the franchise for obvious reasons against the back-to-back champions and a game the team had two off days to prepare for. New York has been showing improved scoring in recent weeks but on the season New York has scored just 98 points per game and now in the second of back-to-back games the Knicks face one of the best defenses in the NBA. Golden State should have no shortage of motivation in this matchup coming off an ugly 20 points loss in Chicago on Wednesday. The margin of defeat could have been even worse as the Warriors hit just 35 percent going up against another elite defense, featuring a 14-point 3rd quarter. Chicago got 24 points at the line to reach triple-digits, just the third team in the last 14 games to reach that mark against the Warriors. Golden State in the #3 team in the NBA in defensive efficiency and the Warriors did a masterful job against the Knicks the last time these teams met, holding New York to just 63 points. The 'under' is 19-11 in Golden State road games and while a west coast team playing on the east coast sounds daunting, Golden State had Thursday off while New York was in Miami for a big primetime game, putting the road team in the better position. Laying points with the Warriors on the road is risky but Golden State should control the pace of this game and leave a fatigued Knicks team struggling on offense. The 'under' has hit in six of the last seven Golden State games and this total is price too high considering these teams scored just 155 points the last time they met.
Nelly's rates our regular basketball selections 1, 2, and 3-stars. It is a long season so please have a money management plan and be conservative and conscientious with your wagers. Thanks for playing with Nelly's Sportsline and best of luck.




Players NHL *8* Friday on OVER in Buffalo on 28 February
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach NHL Friday 8* (Regular Play) on OVER in Buffalo vs. San Jose @ 7:00 p.m. ET
The Buffalo Sabres host the San Jose Sharks Friday. “The Bulldog” breaks down his selection on OVER in Buffalo with his Three-Factor Analysis: 1. The Sabres have surrendered eight goals since action picked back up in the NHL, including a 5-4 overtime loss to Boston. On top of that, star goaltender Ryan Miller isn’t focuses on hockey as much as he is about his future. Miller expects to be dealt during the trade deadline – this coming on the heels of his Olympic stint with Team USA in Sochi. 2. The Sharks could be a little slow footed on the defensive end Friday after traveling across the country and playing Philadelphia Thursday. San Jose lit the lamp for seven goals in that win, blowing about the total. 3. The Olympic break allowed San Jose to heal some of its big guns, with Raffi Torres and Logan Couture returning Thursday. The Sharks still managed to averaging 2.9 goals for despite those injuries, so expect a healthy attack to top that output.
Play on OVER in Buffalo as an 8* Regular Selection Friday.
Good luck, Scott.

Sports Wagers NHL

Phoenix @ COLORADO
COLORADO -½ +106 over Phoenix

Regulation only. The Coyotes do not have the same swag as they’ve had in previous seasons. Hockey doesn’t even belong in Arizona – it never has, and it never will. Sure the ownership question is settled (for five years), and that might help the club out but so far it has hurt them. You see, it kind of undermines the whole underdog mentality that this club has thrived off of over the past few seasons, doesn’t it? Coach Tippett isn’t finding it as easy to preach the whole “us against the world” thing this season when guys from the Coyotes ownership group answer fan questions on Twitter. As for the Coyotes blue-line, outside of Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Zbynek Michalek it’s an over-rated group. Speaking of over-rated, how about Mike “One Good Year” Smith? Phoenix has not been better this season and they still are too reliant on straight up trap hockey (boring) and gooning it up (like always). Now they’re not scoring. The Coyotes have scored two or fewer in four straight. Since December 12, a span of 28 games, they have won consecutive games just one time. Phoenix is also 0-5 in their last five games in the second game of back-to-backs.
The Avalanche came off the break with a 6-4 loss to the Kings. Pay no attention to that, as J.S. Giguere, the worst goaltender in the game, was in net. Pay more attention to the Avalanche scoring four goals on the Kings. That’s not easy but it showcases just how dangerous Colorado is. The Avs have scored nine times in their last two games. In a recent three-game stint against Buffalo, Minnesota and Dallas, they scored 16 times. The Avs are loaded with goal scorers and sick talent. The Avs get Semyon Varlamov back for this one and it’s also worth noting that Colorad has not lost consecutive games at home the entire season. That isn’t about to change against this very beatable guest.


Our Pick
COLORADO -½ +106 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.12)

Minnesota @ VANCOUVER
Minnesota +147 over VANCOUVER

Regulation only. The Canucks are chasing the Wild for the final playoff spot, making this a huge game for both teams. Vancouver is six points behind Minnesota with 21 games remaining but a loss here and they fall eight back. Vancouver is coming off a 1-0 victory on Wednesday against St. Louis and this price is an overreaction to that victory. No way should the Canucks be this big a price against Minnesota. That win was Vancouver’s first in their last eight and it’s not like they went off for a bunch of goals either. They scored one lousy goal in the third against a fragile Jarolslav Halak, who was pounded in the Olympics. Over their last eight games, Vancouver has scored two goals or fewer seven times while being outscored 26-12 over that span. John Tortorella has turned these Canucks into a bunch of penalty killers and shot blockers. Frankly, it’s ludicrous for them to be this big a price.
Minnesota is warm with three straight wins while outscoring the opposition 8-3 over that span. They opened the stretch drive with a 3-0 win in Edmonton last night and there’s no reason they can’t keep it going here. Goaltender Darcy Kuemper has been outstanding since his call-up with 11 wins in 14 games to go along with a solid .927 save percentage. Minnesota plays outstanding defense and they are even scoring goals with more regularity lately. In terms of value, it really doesn’t get much better than taking back this tag on the better squad.


Our Pick
Minnesota +147 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.94)

Yesterday	2	1	0.00	+2.94
Last 30 Days	15	24	0.00	-10.68

Duquesne stays hot with win over Saint Louis

Duquesne sprang a huge upset of red-hot Saint Louis Thursday night, but wise bettors were probably aware the Dukes stood a great chance of covering a hefty spread.

Duquesne entered the road game with a 10-5-2 ATS mark and had cashed its last three in a row. The Billikens – winners of 19 in a row SU -- were 9-15 ATS and had dropped four straight pointspread decisions.

The Dukes were 13.5-point underdogs against Saint Louis, but notched a 71-64 victory to bolster their solid ATS mark and keep the Billikens in a betting-window freefall.


Home not where the heart is for Princeton backers

Princeton (15-8 SU, 8-9 ATS) is just 1-5 ATS on its home floor, including getting swept at the betting window last weekend. The Tigers beat Dartmouth 67-57 but failed to cash as a 13-point favorite last Friday, then fell to league-leading Harvard 59-47 on Saturday as a 2.5-point underdog.

The Tigers have a pair of home games this weekend as they host Yale (14-10 SU, 9-5 ATS) Friday and Brown (14-10 SU, 8-5-1 ATS) on Saturday.


UNC's 10-game winning streak bodes well for futures

Thinking about a futures bet on streaking North Carolina? Well, there is some precedent. When the Tar Heels beat North Carolina State 85-84 in overtime on Wednesday night, it marked their 10th straight win, something they hadn’t done since the 2008-09 season, when they opened with 13 straight wins and later added a 10-game winning streak.

Carolina ended that season with an 89-72 rout of Michigan State as a 7.5-point chalk in the NCAA championship game.


Columbia cashing in for Under bettors

A pretty good Ivy League bet throughout this season has been taking the under when Columbia hits the floor. The total has gone low in 11 of the Lions’ 15 lined games, and the trend has been even stronger on the highway for Columbia, at 6-1 in true road games and 9-1 counting neutral-site contests.

The Lions are at Dartmouth Friday and at Harvard on Saturday.

Kuemper gets start after Thursday's shutout

Fresh off a 21 save, shutout performance against the Edmonton Oilers Thursday, the Minnesota Wild will ride the hot goalie as Darcy Kuemper will start tonight at the Vancouver Canucks.

Kuemper has played well as starter Josh Harding remains on IR. The Saskatoon native is 9-3-2 with a 2.29 GAA and .921 save percentage on the season.

The Wild are currently +138 road dogs at the Canucks Friday.


Lightning forward Steven Stamkos, out Saturday

Stamkos is recovering from a broken right tibia which he suffered on November 11th against the Bruins. He will not play on the team's upcoming four-game road trip but expects to return on March 6th to face the Sabres.


Pens' Letang expects to return after stroke

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Kris Letang is confident that he will play hockey again after suffering a stroke last month.

Speaking with reporters before the Penguins' game against the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday night, Letang, 26, said doctors told him that he should be able to get back on the ice. But when that happens remains unknown.

"(Doctors) said being 26 and having a stroke, it's actually a small percentage, but the chance that I get back to normal is really high," Letang said. "We'll take the decision from there, but for now, we're keeping like this. ... I'm going day by day to get to 100 percent. I feel like I'm trying to make steps and getting closer to coming back at one point."


Sabres come out of Olympic break hot

The Buffalo Sabres have come out of the Olympic break on a modest two-game winning streak and close off their mini three-game homestand against the San Jose Sharks Friday.

The Sabres defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 Tuesday, and followed that up with a 5-4 OT victory against the Boston Bruins Thursday.

The Sabres are currently +163 home dogs.
