Denver Nuggets +9

Triple-revenge is at stake here as the Nuggets try to avoid getting swept on the season. Denver is coming into this game playing their 3rd one in 4 nights. The last two games have been blowouts though and I think fatigue won’t be as big of an issue here. Besides, the Nuggets have better depth than Portland, who have lost a lot of it when Matthews went down. Just like Denver, Portland is also in a ‘fatigue spot’. They’re actually playing their 4th game in 5 nights with all 3 previous games being fairly close (even the loss to GSW was close until the late 2nd half). Portland’s starters had to exert a lot more energy than Denver’s players last night, and I think fatigue will be a bigger concern for the home team here. Denver is 10-4 ATS in the last 14 and 5-2 ATS in the last 7 on the road. I think we’ll see a close game tonight and I’ll grab the points.

Arizona Wildcats -1

There's a reason a #2 seed is favorite over a #1 seed in this game - Arizona is a better team. While both teams are top-10 offensively (#1 WIS and #7 ARZ), the real difference is on the defensive end. Arizona has the 3rd ranked defensive in all of college basketball. By comparison, Wisconsin is only 50th. They rank in the bottom-50 in defensive TO-rate and in 3PT% allowed, two key metrics in college basketball. Without any ability to force turnovers and by allowing opponents to shoot over 37% from the 3PT line, it's hard to compete against the 'best' teams in this tourney on a consistent basis. UNC was 8 for 13 from the 3PT line and only had 4 TO's in the game against the Badgers, a game that UNC could have easily won. At times they looked like the 'better' team in that one and if not for the Meeks injury (he only played 14 minutes), UNC could have easily pulled off an upset. I think we'll see Wisconsin fall to the Wildcats tonight. Arizona is coming off a great game themselves where they played a physical, tough Xavier squad, and I expect them to be ready to exact some revenge on the Badgers for ending Arizona's season last year. Two great offenses in this one but only one team has an elite D. I'll back that team tonight.

NBA Mar 28 ,2015 10:05p [509] Denver Nuggets
[510] Portland Trail Blazers Denver Nuggets +9-105
at 5dimes
The Nuggets are a much improved team since Melvin Hunt replaced clueless Brian Shaw. Denver is 8-6 under Hunt and can prove dangerous in the right spot.
This is a good spot for the Nuggets.
Both Denver and Portland are off excellent victories last night. But the Trail Blazers carry a much higher fatigue rating. This marks their fourth game in five days and first home game following consecutive road wins against the Jazz and Suns.
Portland has a weak bench - made weaker by the absence of Wesley Matthews - and plays again on Monday at home against Phoenix while the Nuggets won't play again until Wednesday. That should ensure an all-out effort by the Nuggets.
Yes, motivation can be a factor for non-playoff teams such as Denver, but the Nuggets have triple revenge incentive. They are a much different team now than the previous three times the Trail Blazers playe d and defeated them.
Ty Lawson must play well for the Nuggets to be competitive. There are strong indications that is going to happen. Lawson has been performing well putting up 18 points and nine assists in an easy victory against the Jazz Friday night. This is what Hunt said about Lawson following that win, "The kid is playing some of the best basketball I've seen him play. That speed is special. It's a special weapon."
Lawson may be the quickest point guard in the NBA. He's caused Portland problems in the past averaging 24.7 points and nine assists in the first three meetings. Portland has an excellent point guard, too, in Damian Lillard. But Lillard has logged major minutes this season and the four games in five days factor could affect him a great deal against Lawson.
Under Hunt, the Nuggets have gone 7-1 ATS the past eight times following a straight-up victory. They also have covered in five of their last seven road matchups.

Thank you sir
