dime bet 505 PHI / 506 CLE Under 185.0 5Dimes
Analysis:
Philadelphia at Cleveland
The Sixers are coming off a brutal schedule having faced in order Orlando, Chicago, Miami, Atlanta, the LA Lakers, San Antonio and the LA Clippers. They are playing their third game in four days having gone head to head wiŒth the Clippers last night in a 78-77 defeat. We can't see the Sixers having much energy tonight and they already prefer the slower pace. Off a straight up loss Philadelphia has stayed under the posted number the next game 6 of 8 contests.
Cleveland is playing their fourth game in five days having gone to overtime last night against the Bucks. The Cavaliers are already playing short handed with Parker, Thompson and Irving in and out of the daily lineup. The likely rookie of the year will be out again tonight as he recovers from a concussion. That leaves a tired team with many players not used to the minutes they have been receiving as of late. Which also should lead to a slower paced game.

5.5* NCAAB POD & SEC Game of the Week- Kentucky vs. Vanderbilt
It's my SEC Game of the week between Kentucky and Vanderbilt starting at 9pm et on ESPN. You won't want to miss out on this match up and pick backed by an in depth analysis. It's got plenty of players we will see in the NBA next year and all the ingredients of a great Saturday night match up in front of a sell out crowd. The play is guaranteed or 3 days FREE!
Vandy +5 (5.5* NCAAB POD)
I love Vanderbilt in this situation because they match up with Kentucky better than any other team in the SEC. Unlike Florida this team has size down low to go along with the perimeter play that should challenge a Kentucky defense that struggles at times defending the 3. Austin Davis has to match up against a Sr in Festus Ezeli who is bigger and slightly taller. That should be an interesting match up here. If Kentucky continues to play solid defense they can win this game, but 43% of Vanderbilts shots are from 3 and they are shooting 42.1% in conference play and they too play great defense in conference play 37.5%. Kentucky's offense relies on freshmen and outside of Lamb this team is extremely streaky from 3 point range. It's going to be hard for Calipari to make adjustments at Vanderbilt considering the layout of the court and I think that could be a huge advantage for Vanderbilt because Kentucky is such a young team.
Kentucky starts 3 freshmen 2 sophomore's and they really lack proven depth. While Vanderbilt starts 4 seniors and 1 junior and pound for pound they match up extremely well as I mentioned before. Vanderbilt has been in this spot before and have come out on top more often than not hosting a #1 seed of late. They beat Kentucky 5 of the last 6 at home and again I think they'll be right in this game. After all Kentucky has played in just 6 road games and are 5-1. Their only challenge came from Indiana in a 72-73 loss. Their other 5 games are vs. teams with RPI's of 137, 135, 117, 79, and 177. Vanderbilt is a real opponent at 27th and their home court advantage should be crazy tonight. It will be interesting to see how a young team plays in this big game.
