Wunderdog Sports Free Pick
Game: Brooklyn Nets @ Portland Trailblazers
Time: Wednesday 02/26 10:05 PM Eastern
Pick: Brooklyn +3 (-110) at Sportsbook.com
The beginning of the season was filled with high hopes for the Brooklyn Nets, but they started out poorly. Meanwhile the upstart Portland Trailblazers were the talk of the league with their surprisingly fast start. The worm has certainly turned as the recent picture shows the Nets have been much the better team at 16-7 in their last 23, while Portland is just 8-9 over their last 17. I think we get a dog here with some bite as the Nets are beating the elite teams at 5-1 ATS in their last six vs. a team over .600. The Blazers have become an over-valued team, especially at home where they are just 1-5 ATS in their last six games. The Nets are on the rise and are a live dog, so play them here.

Wichita St. wins 30 straight, is college hoop's best bet
Wichita State not only made history Tuesday night by defeating Bradley 69-49 and becoming the first team in college basketball to start a regular season 30-0, they also are the best bet in college hoops.
The Shockers are now 20-6-1 against the spread in lined games this season, including a remarkable 11-1 ATS mark on the road.
Wichita State will have the chance to finish the regular season a perfect 31-0 when they host Missouri State Saturday.
Coach of the year candidates cashing for bettors
Bleacher Report’s Thad Novak ranked the top 20 candidates for college basketball’s coach of the year, placing Virginia’s Tony Bennett No. 1 for his work in putting the surprising Cavaliers atop the ACC at the moment. Virginia is 23-5 straight-up (SU) and respectable 14-9-1 against the spread (ATS).
But who among Novak’s favorites is doing the best job at the betting window?
That would be Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall, whose team is first in the nation with a 20-6-1 ATS mark. Marshall was Novak’s No. 2 choice for coach of the year. Among others in Novak’s top 20 who are providing particularly strong returns on bettors’ investments: Larry Brown at Southern Methodist (16-8 ATS, 15th), Jay Wright at Villanova (17-8 ATS, tied for seventh), Tim Miles at Nebraska (17-8 ATS, tied for seventh) and Steve Alford at UCLA (17-9 ATS, 16th).

Suns' guard Goran Dragic, questionable Wednesday
Dragic twisted his right ankle Tuesday against the Timberwolves and is questionable to play Wednesday against the Jazz.
Rockets and Clippers open with huge O/U
The Los Angeles Clippers and Houston Rockets are second and third, respectively, in scoring offense this season and they have gotten a huge line to show.
The line for the game opened at an extremely high 220. When you consider that earlier this season these teams scored a combined 255 points.
Warriors failing to cover in Chicago
The Golden State Warriors start their six game road trip in Chicago, a court that hasn’t been good to them. The Warriors are 0-3-1 against the spread in their last four in Chicago.
Golden State opens as a 3-point road favorite Wednesday.
Cavs not a safe double-digit dog play
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been terrible this season against the spread when they are double-digit dogs. When the Cavs are spotted 10 or more points this season they are 1-4 ATS.
The Cavs opened at +13.5 when they visit the Thunder Wednesday.
