Tuesday NBA Opinions
MIAMI (-1 1/2) over San Antonio
Rotation #554 - 4:35 pm Pacific
Miami is playing at a high level recently and the Heat are better off without injured F Michael Beasley, who is decent offensively but horrible on defense. In fact, the Heat allow 1.07 points per possession when Beasley is on the court and only 1.02 ppp when he's on the bench. With Beasley out the Heat defense is 2.2 points better per game than it is overall for the season. Even without factoring that in my ratings still favor the Heat by 2 1/2 points in this game (with no adjustment for Parker being out for the Spurs) and Miami applies to a 69-18-1 ATS home momentum situation. Unfortunately, a not as great 8-6 ATS subset of that angle applies to this game, so I'm reluctant to make the Heat a Best Bet given that the best part of the situation doesn't apply. I'll still lean with Miami at -2 or better.

Minnesota (+12 1/2) over PHOENIX
Rotation #563 - 7:05 pm Pacific
Road underdogs of 11 points or more are 45-19 ATS this season if they didn't play the previous night and Phoenix applies to a negative 67-147-2 ATS big favorite look ahead situation (they play Utah next). The Suns are also just 10-26-3 ATS in the Steve Nash era as a favorite of 9 points or more following a win of 12 points or more, so they may not give their best effort tonight against the lowly Timberwolves. Unfortunately, my ratings favor the Suns by 13 1/2 points and I don't want to give up that line value even though Phoenix is just 1-4 ATS laying 11 points or more this season. I'll just lean with Minnesota at +12 points or more based on the strong letdown situation.

Tuesday College Opinions
Connecticut (-7 1/2) over Northeastern
Rotation #570 - 4 pm Pacific
North Carolina (-8 1/2) over William & Mary
Rotation #578 - 6:30 pm Pacific
There is some talk of U Conn and North Carolina not being fired up to play in the NIT given that those teams are usually are competing in the later rounds of the NCAA tournament. However, that may not be the case given that teams that won 23 or more games the previous season are actually 66-36-1 ATS in their first NIT game, including 17-2 ATS if they enter off consecutive losses. North Carolina also applies to a 37-10 ATS first round NIT angle. I'll lean with U Conn and UNC based on the trends.

3* NBA "Total" Dominator on Lakers/Kings UNDER 206

Plays Under on all teams where the total is greater than or equal to 200 (LA), tired team playing its 3rd road game in 5 days, good team, winning 60-75% or more of their games on the season, are 130-82 since 1996, including 63-33 the last 3 seasons. The Lakers just played a fast-paced game in Golden State last night so they aren't going to have the energy to run and gun again here. Expect the Lakers to slow the pace as much as possible, operating in the half court offensively. The Lakers are also 24-11 Under when playing their 3rd road game in 5 days over the last 3 seasons, and we are only seeing 199.8 points scored in the games on average. The Under is also 5-0 in the Lakers' last 5 games following an ATS loss and 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 100 points or more in their previous game. We'll bet the Under.


3* NIT Opening Round SMASH (ESPN) on UNC -8.5

William & Mary has had some very good wins this season, but I don't like its chances tonight. The Tar Heels are way more athletic with a lot more size. They should dominate the boards and really hurt the Tribe in the paint as well as in transition. It's been an embarrassing season for UNC, and the last thing they want is to take an embarrassing loss to school like W&M on national TV. It's been a struggle for Roy Williams this season, but he should have his boys ready to play tonight. The fact that W&M has some quality wins will only make it easier for Williams to get his boys to take this one seriously. W&M is a team that really depends on the 3-point shot, but I don't anticipate the Tribe shooting a high percentage. UNC's quickness in closeouts and their length won't allow W&M to get as many clean looks as they will need. The Tar Heels are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 home games vs. a team with a road winning percentage of greater than .600, 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games as a favorite of 7.0-12.5 points and 21-5 ATS in their last 26 games as a home favorite of 7.0-12.5 points. Lay the number.

8* South Florida -3.5

How much do the Wolfpack have left after their excellent run in the ACC tourney? NC St upset NCAA-bound Clemson (Thu) and Florida State (Fri) before "running out of gas" against Ga Tech on Saturday (lost 57-54), which was playing for its NCAA 'life!' NC State was just 5-11 in the ACC regular season but Greensboro (site of ACC tourney), has always been 'good medicine' for the Wolfpack. This was year was no different, as they went 3-0 ATS. Traveling to South Florida for this game will be no 'picnic.' USF went 20-12 this year, going 19-10-2 ATS. The Bulls are 11-4 SU at home (8-4-2 ATS) and easily own the best player on the floor in 6-4 junior Jones (21.3-6.2-3.7). He's joined in the backcourt by seniors Howard (10.4-3.8-3.9) and Mercer (9.4-4.6). USF has plenty of height up front now that the 6-10 Gilchrist (13.8-6.1) is back after missing 15 games with a foot injury. The 6-11 Famous (10.5-7.5) is the fifth starter with 6-8 freshman Fitzpatrick (4.3-4.6) coming off the bench. NC State's 6-8 Smith (16.9-7.5) is an excellent player but I'm not sure his frontcourt partners Horner (11.2-4.8) and Wood (8.1-3.3) are up to the challenge. I'm SURE the Wolpack's guard duo of of Gonzalez (9.8-3.8 APG) and Degand (5.8-2.6 APG) will be overmatched by Jones and Co. away from the friendly confines of Greensboro. Lay it with the Bulls.
