Unit Play. Take Under 192.5 between Toronto @ Minnesota (Tuesday @ 8:05pm est).
Yesterday: 1-0-1 (EZ 20 point cover on the Under and although many got a win with Furman at +8.5, I went ahead and counted it as a push as I had +8 in the morning. Let's roll again today:
7 Straight Winning NBA Weeks (11-3 last 14 Selections and 3 in a Row).
10-4 (71%) Last week in Hoops
5-2 (71%) in NBA.
5-2 (71%) in CBB.
+66 Units in January Hoops (64% Overall).
+20 Units in February (64% Overall)
Congrats on yesterday's winning day as we are en route to our 8th straight winning week in the NBA as we are 11-3 over our last 14 Selections. As per today, well, let's ride another Under except this time in Minnesota. We rode the Under as New Orleans visited Memphis yesterday in part because there were several injuries to both teams and the question begged who was going to score to get up to such a high total of 186? Well, the Under covered by about 20 points or more as that scoring load was never picked up as Arthur, Gay, Paul and Chandler did not play. Such is the case with this game as Minnesota will be without the services of one of the best up and coming players in the league who was establishing himself as a superstar in Al Jefferson. Folks, Jefferson can ball. It's a shame that he went out with this season ending injury as Minnesota was beginning to gel very well with the likes of Foye, Gomes, Love and Telfair. I actually think Minny likely wins this game Outright whenever one follows the theory, "bet on a team that just lost its star player". One can even look to as early as the Magic who played the Clippers after losing Nelson in a game which they covered relatively easily. One can look at the game when the Hawks were at Minnesota and manged to cover as well. The question begs, similar to yesterday's game, who is going to pick up the scoring? With no Chris Bosh, the Raptors lineup features Calderon, O'Neal (who blows), Graham, Parker and Bargnani. This lineup put up a ravishing 70 points at Memphis. Note, Toronto is a defensive team that needs to rely on its defense as their offense is questionable at best right now with no Bosh. Consequently, this is the first full game for the Twolves without big Al. Look for both teams to be sluggish on offense and rely on defense as the Twolves likely win this game - but more importantly, look for this total to dip under. The Under is 6-2 between these two teams when they were healthy in the last 8 games and the under is 5-1 between these two teams in Minny.
4 Unit Play. #728. Take Central Michigan +8 over Miami of Ohio (Tuesday @ 7pm est). Although many clients received the win on Furman with the +8.5 line, I went ahead and took a push with the +8 line for our records. In essence, we kissed our sister as we look to duplicate the 5-2 week last week and our 16-8 (66%) run over the last 24 days with our PODs. For starters, I have respect for Miami of Ohio and what they have done this year. This team is a top 75 team, they are a 14 win team thus far, a solid 7-2 in conference play and the schools they have lost to for their 7 losses come against elite schools such as UCLA by 5 on the road, Pittsburgh, Xavier by 7 on the road, West Virginia, Dayton by 5 on the road, Ohio and Buffalo at home. I mention this to say that they are a worthy opponent. But, to catch 8 points in a game where Miami of Ohio only beat this team by 4 points last year at home, with over 66% of the public riding the road chalk, on a total of just 120 is great. What if someone told you that in a game that is expected to score 120 points, they wanted to give you 8 points which is about 6.7% of the points with the home court advantage - would you do it? I would. The question then begs how competitive can Central Michigan be? For starters, this is an evening game, there will be a decent crowd at Central Michigan for this contest, Miami of Ohio typically only scores 63 points per game on average and Central Michigan is the same team that beat top 140 Ohio at home as well as Ball State. Remember, Ohio - they are the same team that Miami of Ohio lost to at home. Central Michigan comes off a tough loss to Bowling Green at home and to their credit only lost by 1 point to Buffalo on the road - remember Buffalo? They are the same team that beat Miami of Ohio on the road as well. Thus, considering the matchups between these two squads in a low scoring game, with home court advantage, off a tough loss, I think Central Michigan will be very competitive here tonight. I do not expect this line to budge and I expect the public to take it up the chin a bit here as once again 2/3rds are riding the road chalk as The Chippewas are 4-1 ATS when playing a team with a winning record meaning they get up for the better teams such as Buffalo and Ohio and will likely get up once again for the Red Hawks at home.
Good luck,
