Inner Circle
Miami (FL) (-3) over Duke
7:00 PM (EST) -- BankUnited Center
-------Inner Circle---Miami-FloridaDuke is ranked 167th in scoring defense. It''''s hard to teach defense so expect the Blue Devils to give up massive amount of points on the road. The Hurricanes average 80 ppg so offensively, that jells well with our analysis. Miami is ranked 38th defensively so both sides of the ball are covered. Where Dukes shines somewhat behind the arc, defense is Miami''''s strong point where they allow on 32% from the 3-point line. If Duke fouls late in the game, Miami can close the show as they are 13th in the nation shooting free throws averaging more than 75% from the line. Miami has all bases covered. Duke is coming into this game having lost three of their last four while Miami has won their last two contest by 14 point margins. It''''s Miami all the way.

Iowa State (-2) over Kansas
8:00 PM (EST) -- James H. Hilton Coliseum
Perfect Play---Iowa St The best teams in the Big 12 Maylose on the road but they are all extremely unbeatable at home. With that in mind the Cyclones are 9-1 on their own court while Kansas has dropped two on the road and more incredibly, both by double digits. Iowa St is 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 Big 12 games. They knocked off #1 rated Oklahoma last week at home x d will send the Jayhawks home with another loss. Iowa is no stranger to defeating Kansas having taken three of the last four. The fans will be in a frenzy like last week and propel the momentum for another solid home conference win.

(3% play) CLEVELAND -12.5/-13 (vs. Minnesota) - 7:05 pm ET (NBA-tv) #502
Minnesota is once again having a miserable season despite a roster full of young talent. The Timberwolves are terribly coached, and that’s a major reason for their non-development. Minnesota comes into this game off a rare win; they are still just 3-15 SU during their last 18 games. The Timberwolves have not won back-to-back games since mid-December, and they have little chance to win tonight’s game in Cleveland. The Timberwolves have played little defense all season; they are giving up 102.8 points per game on 46.1% shooting from the field and 34.5% shooting from three-point land. On the road, Minnesota is allowing 103.7 points per game. Over their last five games, the Timberwolves have given up 104.2 points per game on 47.3% shooting from the field. Minnesota’s second worst defensive game of the season came at home against Cleveland when the Cavaliers scored 125 points on them; the Timberwolves gave up 129 points to Golden State.
Cleveland fired head coach David Blatt prior to their last home game against Chicago. The Cavaliers were embarrassed in their first game for Tyronn Lue; they lost 96-83 to the Bulls as 10.5-point home favorites. Cleveland played their worst offensive home game of the season as they shot just 37.2% (35-94) from the field and 16.7% (4-24) from three-point land. The Cavaliers also shot just 40.9% (9-22) from the free throw line. Cleveland’s offense will play much better tonight, especially since they scored 125 in Minnesota earlier this season. In that game, Cleveland shot 53.1% (43-81) from the field and 48.1% (13-27) from three-point land. Cleveland had six players score in double figures in that game, and a repeat performance is likely tonight. Cleveland is the vastly superior team and in a focused spot, so we’ll lay the points with the Cavaliers in this game on Monday night.
Play CAVALIERS (-) as a 3% play.
