1 Unit Bonus Play on Sacramento Kings -3
Don't look now but the Sacramento Kings are playing some of their best basketball of the season heading into tonight's tilt with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Kings have won three of their last four, which includes victories over two of the best teams in the NBA in the Warriors and Celtics. They also topped the Hawks and only lost to the Bulls by 5. I think this is a short number here for the Kings, who will be up against a Pelicans team that is just 7-18 on the road this season. Plus, the Pelicans have a plethora of injuries they are dealing with right now with four key players questionable. New Orleans is 2-12 ATS in its last 14 road games following a road win. The Pelicans are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a straight up win. Sacramento is 17-6-1 ATS in its last 24 home meetings with New Orleans.

Jack's Free Pick Sunday: Memphis -6
The Memphis Tigers will be out for revenge from a 66-77 road loss to Temple about two weeks ago on January 25th. Now they get the Owls at home this time around. The Tigers are 13-2 at home this season, outscoring opponents by 12.6 points per game on average.
Temple is just 2-7 in true road games this year, losing by 9.2 points per game on average. In conference play alone they are 1-5 in road games. They lost by 24 at UCF, by 14 at SMU, by 14 at UConn and by 13 at Houston. I think another double-digit road loss can be expected here against Memphis.
Memphis is a solid 49-30 ATS in its last 79 when revenging a road loss vs. opponent. The Owls are 1-6-1 ATS in their last eight games as an underdog. Temple is 1-5-1 ATS in its last seven road games. Bet Memphis Sunday.

Sunday's six-pack
— Bill Walton/Dick Vitale are working an NBA game together Wednesday night. Play-by-play guy will get paid and he’s not going to be able to get a word in edgewise.
— I’m not fond of watching amateurs play golf on TV; I like watching the pros, but I’m turning the channel before I watch a bunch of actors, CEO’s, athletes play golf.
— Draymond Green had a triple/double Friday night, the first one ever where the guy didn’t score at least 10 points.
— Three college hoop teams have won this year after trailing in that game by 25+ points; Nevada, Navy and Utah Valley.
— Southern Illinois honored the 50th anniversary of its 1967 NIT title team this weekend; the best player on the team was Hall of Famer Walt Frazier, who was also a great player for the Knicks.
— RIP Professor Irwin Corey, who passed away this week at age 102. One of my favorite comedians as a kid, his madcap antics made him popular on talk shows for years.
