(505) CHICAGO BULLS
(506) NEW JERSEY NETS
Take "(506) NEW JERSEY NETS"

After playing several talented teams, the Nets catch a break here. They are also riding high after an incredible win, on Devin Harris' miracle shot against Philly. Lost in the euphoria was that coach Lawrence Frank reshuffled his lineup, putting Yi Jianlian back in the starting lineup at power forward, and using Sean Williams instead of Josh Boone as his backup center. Williams helped keep the Nets alive with some stalwart defensive work that included three blocks and numerous alters. The real unsung hero, however, was Keyon Dooling: He splashed three 3-pointers in the second quarter to help the Nets overcome a 31-19 deficit, while he and Harris combined for nine of the Nets' 12 3-pointers. They are rested and take on a Chicago team that is working in new players following trades last week. It's also the 3rd game in 4 nights, and the second of a back to back spot after playing Orlando Tuesday. Play the Nets.

Dave Cokin

(569) BRADLEY
(570) EVANSVILLE
Take "(570) EVANSVILLE"

On paper, Bradley at Evansville looks like a very tight battle, but I like the home team to get the win and cover. The fact that Evansville has been a terrific home favorite is a plus, as the Purple Aces are on a 19-6 spread run in this role. The history is also good, with Evansville standing 9-2 straight up and 8-3 ATS when hosting Bradley. There's revenge from the earlier 86-79 loss to Bradley as a motivator. But perhaps most importantly, this is the home finale for Evansville, and they're a senior-dominated team. I expect some serious emotion from the hosts tonight and believe that's the key that makes laying the number the right way to play this contest.

NBA. orlando-2 @ knicks. The Orlando Magic have been struggling of late since point guard Jameer Nelson went down and the New York knicks have finally let go of Stephan Marbury. Knicks guard Nate Robinson continues to be a MSG favorite but it won't help tonight as the magic get the cover-2.

John Ryan - NHL

Pick: Money Line: 117 San Jose Sharks

Ai Simulator 10* graded play on San Jose as they travel to face Detroit in a big marquee showdown of elite teams. Supporting this graded play is a system that has gone 22-18 making 14 units since 2003 with the average play a +145.7 DOG. Play against home teams against the money line with a poor starting goalie posting a save percentage of <= 89.5 of shots against him and is a hot offensive team with 5 straight games with 30 or more shots on goal. Here is a second system that has gone 66-55 making 36.8 units since 2003 with the average play a +139.1 DOG. Play against any team against the money line that is a very good team outscoring their opponents by 0.5+ goals/game in the 2nd half of the season and after a loss by 2 goals or more in their previous game. Here is a third system that has gone 265-292 for just 48% winners, but has made 53.2 units since 2003. Play against home favorites of -200 or less against the money line that is an explosive offensive team scoring 3+ goals/game on the season and after playing a game where 7 or more total goals were scored. San Jose is a strong 16-3 against the money line (+10.4 Units) against poor starting goalies saving <= 89.5% of shots against over the last 2 seasons. Detroit is just 2-5 against the money line (-8.6 Units) against mistake free teams opponents average <=4 power plays/game in the 2nd half of the year this season. AiS also projects that San Jose has a 92% probability of attempting between 27 and 31 shots on goal. Note that they are 15-2 making 11.2 units this season when they get 27 to 31 shots on goal. Take San Jose.

1 Unit Bonus Play on Dallas Mavs -7
After laying an egg in San Antonio last night, expect the Mavs to bury the defensively challenged Bucks in this one. The Mavs are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite and they will have serious revenge on the mind after getting spanked 133-99 in Milwaukee last month. Milwaukee’s defense has been non-existent lately, allowing 110 of more points in 6 of its last 7 games. The home team is a strong 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings and the Mavericks are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 when their opponent allows 100 points or more in their previous game. Dirk Nowitzky and the gang will take out last night’s frustrating defeat on the Bucks here. Lay the points.

Big Al McMordie
At 8:35 pm, our complimentary selection is on the ‘under’ in the Spurs and Blazers game. Last night, San Antonio played its third straight GREAT defensive game, as it crushed Dallas (even without Tim Duncan in the lineup) 93-76. That followed supreme defensive efforts against Detroit (79 points) and Washington (67 points). Certainly, future Hall of Fame coach Greg Popovich must be pleased, especially since he called out his team earlier in the season, and said the Spurs ’sucked on D.’ Granted, their season numbers are nowhere close to where they need to be if the Spurs are to challenge for their fifth championship in 11 seasons, but at least the last three games are a start. It’s unclear whether Timmy Duncan will suit up tonight, but regardless, I expect a focused defensive effort vs. Portland, and for this game to sail ‘under’ the total once again. Good luck, as always…Al McMordie.

Bob Harvey

This already promised to be one of the biggest games in the Big East this season. Now with Pitt’s shocking loss to Providence on Tuesday, the Marquette and U-Conn game could decide the regular season champion.
There are plenty of arguments to be made on behalf of both teams. The Huskies are the only unbeaten team in the nation at 12-0. They’re 7-0 SU in Big East roadies and 5-2 ATS. Under Jim Calhoun’s tutelage, U-Conn has won 12 of its last 14 games against ranked teams.
On the flip side, Marquette has won 17 in a row at home but are a mediocre 5-5-1 ATS. In fact both teams have struggled against the number lately, with each going 1-4 ATS.
Connecticut has the advantage inside with Hasheem Thabeet at center. He’s blocked 118 shots and will be a nightmare for the Warriors to deal with.
The back court advantage firmly lies with Marquette which has got three guards that could decide the game from the perimeter.
With this game basically a pick, I’m going to side with the Warriors in large part because of their three-headed guard attack. Should Marquette win, this will be the second consecutive week that the top three teams in the AP poll will have lost. It would also be the Huskies first road loss of the season.
I love firsts and in this case I really like the Warriors chances.

Sport: College Basketball
Game: Virginia Commonwealth Rams @ James Madison Dukes - Wednesday February 25, 2009 7:00 pm
Pick: 3 units ATS: James Madison Dukes +2.5 (-110)



James Madison has been quietly playing their best basketball of the season. They are 6-0 against the spread and 4-2 straight up in their last six games. Their only straight up losses have come at VCU and at Hofstra, with both games going to overtime. In the loss at VCU, James Madison actually outplayed the Rams before faltering late. Meanwhile, Virginia Commonwealth has really struggled away from home against conference teams. They have lost their last three conference road games against the spread, and they are just 1-3 straight up in their last four overall games away from home. James Madison is in an excellent position to upset another conference opponent at home. Look for them to win this game outright.
