4 Unit Play. #884. Take the Sacramento Kings -8.5 over the Minnesota Timberwolves (Sunday @ 9pm est). The Kings come off a tough loss to the Blazers at home by 16. In fact, they were pretty much manhandled at home. This comes off as a bit of a surprise considering they were doing so well at home winning against the likes of Denver, Utah, the Clippers and the Raptors. But, it could have just been a let down from the big win against the Raptors in the game before. I can see the Kings stepping back up here at home against the Timberwolves who have been dismal of late who are 1-5-1 ATS in their last seven games. Bear in mind that the Twolves have lost their last eight straight and last nine of ten overall and also note that the Kings have revenge against the Twolves from an earlier season loss this year losing 96-112. I look for Sacrament to play well at home here and pick up the win as well as the cover as they are 4-1 ATS in their last five games coming off a straight up loss, the Kings are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games and the Twolves are 0-3-1 ATS in their last four games overall as such big underdogs.
4 Unit Play. #893. Take Minnesota +4 over Ohio State (Sunday @ 3:30pm est). I think Minnesota has been more consistent and impressive in the tournament than Ohio State frankly. People will show a great deal of love for Ohio State in this game. And, they are. You have about 66% riding Ohio State here. But, it is Minnesota that I think is the better team right now and they will indeed come with a solid chip on their shoulder. Minnesota has actually rolled fairly well here in the Conference Tourney compared to Ohio State who has been fortunate honestly with Evan Turner doing his late game heroics. But, I think as a team, Minnesota has played better and honestly, I would take Minnesota in this game even if they were at a pick-em, but, the four points are nice as well. Heck, we took NC State yesterday as a four point dog, and they managed to stay inside the number for us as well. These two teams have split the regular season and note that Minnesota has covered its last four games and their last 8 of 10 games as well as they are "gelling" at the right time here. This team dominated Purdue, beat a solid Michigan State team in overtime, and easily took care of Penn State. With a little bit of revenge against Ohio State from their last loss and the fact I think Ohio State's luck might be running out with late heroics, I like Tubby and the boys today to win outright or stay inside the number.
