Let's Roll.
Well, defense meets offense here. If you think the Magic are going to be active dogs in this baby, I would recommend the over and if you think the Celtics are going to win and win big, I would certainly recommend the under. But, note that the Knicks, Warriors and Hawks all took this team the limit at Boston and they consequently went over. Thus, I am going to roll with the over in this game because one way or another, I think the Celtics put up a 100 in this game, in part it could be because of revenge as the Celtics lost to this team 96-93 against the Magic in January and Boston took 2 of 3 from this Boston team last year, not to mention that if Orlando is an active dog that should certainly push this total as over as well. Consequently, I think this game is very similar to the Hawks vs. Celtics and I expect this to go over 200 today. The over is 6-2 for these two teams in Boston of late.
Twolves +145
Sometimes, you just have to buck up and roll with some moneyline plays. Look, we just had the Nets win outright yesterday, we had the Blazers win outright over the Pistont last week and many dogs that we have actually win outright. Do I really think the 3.5 points will make the difference? I don't think so. I think we can go ahead and make a calculated risk here for the 3 units and gain 4.5 units. Note, that Charlotte is favored by more than 70% of the public here and I have no idea why. Sure, this team is a small chalk at home, but this is the same team that is 4-7 at home not to mention Minny comes off a loss to Denver at home and have beaten the likes of the Pistons outright on the road as well as Philly at home. Call me crazy, but I think the Twolves win this baby outright as this is a solid public fade as well. The Bobcats come off a tough loss to Boston but I simply think the Twolves end up winning this game as with the likes of Jefferson, Foye, Miller and Gomes this team is dynamic. The Twolves are 4-1 ATS against teams on the road of late and the Bobcats are 1-7-1 ATS agianst teams with a winning % of less than 40% meaning they are making the grade in games they are "supposed" to win.
Arkansas State +3
I like the Sycamores here. Note that there are several things that work in the Sycs favor here including the fact that they are 4-1 coming into this gme, there is plenty of off-shore money moving in on the public road dog here which is a sign that they will be strong today, there is no prior history between these two meetings, Arkansas State is 2-1 away from home, not to mention this team is 4-0 ATS including winning outright at Ball State and Tennessee Martin. Heck, this team even beat Murray State as well. Indiana State has lost to Murray State already this year at home by 6 and not to mention that this team has yet to win a game. Look, this team has yet to win a game and faces a very tough team in Arkansas State here. Remember, this team is led by Coach John Brady the old coach of LSU and this team is returning 3 quality starters not to mention a total of five seniors. Arkansas State has looked good with some vet leadership and good coaching, give me the undefeated ATS team here.
San Francisco +17.5
San Fran is a better team than most people give them credit for. Heck, this is a rivalry in many ways, this San Fran team will not play a much bigger team than USC this year so they will get up for it, USC comes off a big win over Tennessee-Martin so they could be overvalued here, and San Fran only lost to Cal by 13 on the road and I think picked up a lot of experience in that game. This team essentially returns 3 starters and a solid sixth man in Christian Hernandez and their coached by former Kansas star Rex Walters who nearly went on to become the coach at Mercer but was highly recruited eslewhere. This is Rex's first year in San Fran and I see the Dons hanging tough most of the way here.
