NC CENTRAL -3.5
BETHUNE-COOK. @ NC CENTRAL | 3/02 | 7:30 PM EST
YESTERDAY 6:56 PM
North Carolina Central is tied for first in the MEAC at 11-3, and my simulations show the Eagles covering against Bethune-Cookman over 60 percent of the time. In the first matchup at Bethune-Cookman, NC Central won by 27. Lay the points
24-12 IN LAST 36 CBB PICKS | +1051
ATLANTA -2.5
MEMPHIS @ ATLANTA | 3/02 | 7:30 PM EST
YESTERDAY 6:46 PM
The Grizzlies are coming off one of their best performances of the season, a home beatdown of the Lakers, but I don't expect them to shoot that well for a second straight game. The Hawks have won two straight in impressive fashion, and four of six overall, and my simulations suggest playing them against the spread or on the money line. They're covering nearly two-thirds of sims. Lay it.
14-3 IN LAST 17 NBA PICKS | +1069
6-2 IN LAST 8 MEM ATS PICKS | +382

ATLANTA -2
MEMPHIS @ ATLANTA | 3/02 | 7:30 PM EST
9:22 AM
The Hawks might be one of the worst teams in the league, but they are 19-11-1 ATS at home. They are coming off back-to-back home wins over Brooklyn and Portland, while the Grizzlies just pulled off an impressive win at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. However, they are missing some key players up front and are only 13-15-1 ATS on the road, so I’ll take the Hawks to cover.

10-5 IN LAST 15 MEM ATS PICKS | +449
DALLAS -3.5
DALLAS @ CHICAGO | 3/02 | 8:00 PM EST
9:18 AM
If not for Luka Doncic (thumb) sitting out on Sunday and this being the second game of a back-to-back set for the Mavericks, this line likely would be much higher. I think Doncic returns to face the Bulls, although Kristaps Porzingis might get the night off. Even if he does, this team still has more than enough to cover against Chicago, which is coming off a 10-point loss to New York on Saturday.

TEXAS TECH @ BAYLOR | 3/02 | 9:00 PM EST
9:30 AM
This game has all the makings of a low-scoring, defensive battle - just like the first meeting of the season, a 57-52 victory by Baylor. The Bears rank third in the nation in scoring defense, allowing just over 59 points per contest, while the Red Raiders' defense is yielding 63. Texas Tech has been horrible on the offensive glass, while Baylor needs to improve from the free-throw line. The Under is 9-5 at home for the Bears this season.
44-32-1 IN LAST 77 CBB O/U PICKS | +883
COLORADO -1.5
COLORADO @ DETROIT | 3/02 | 7:30 PM EST
9:27 AM
The Avalanche are playing excellent hockey right now, having won eight straight road games, and should have no problem destroying the NHL's worst team. The Red Wings have lost 19 of their last 22 games, while Colorado has run its road record to 22-9-2. Detroit owns the worst offense and defense in the NHL, while the Avalanche rank fifth on defense and third on offense. Colorado has won each of the last five meetings.
28-22 IN LAST 50 NHL PICKS | +662
10-4 IN LAST 14 DET ATS PICKS | +671

ALABAMA A&M @ PRAIRIE VIEW | 3/02 | 8:30 PM EST
Alabama A&M has 14 straight Unders when facing a team that is making fewer than 16 free throws per game, staying Under by an average of 17.1 ppg. Prairie View A&M is coming off a 65-58 win over Alabama State in which 17 of its 21 baskets were assisted. We expect more methodical work in the half-court, as the Panthers have produced eight straight Unders since the start of the 2018 season as favorites after they had assists on more than 68 percent of their field goals. The eight qualifying games have stayed Under by an average of 19.7 ppg. The value is with the Under.

UTAH @ CLEVELAND | 3/02 | 7:00 PM EST
The Jazz are coming off a 129-119 win over Washington that was tied eight times and had 10 lead changes. This has been a big Under spot for Utah, as it has 20 straight Unders with rest following a win as a home favorite in a game that was tied five-plus times and is facing a team that has allowed more than 105 points per contest. The Cavaliers have 12 straight Unders at home with less than two days' rest following a home loss when they are facing a team that is averaging less than four blocks. Cleveland has stayed Under by an average of 17.75 points in these 12 qualifying games. We make the Under the play.

DUKE -12.5
NC STATE @ DUKE | 3/02 | 7:00 PM EST
10:45 AM
Duke has lost three of four, a stretch that began with a 22-point shellacking at NC State. But all of those losses came on the road. At home, the Blue Devils have won their last two games by an average of 29 points. This is a statement game, and a great revenge spot, for Duke. Lay it.
3-0 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +300
CLEVELAND +8.5
UTAH @ CLEVELAND | 3/02 | 7:00 PM EST
10:40 AM
The Cavaliers have actually won four of their last seven games, and they're getting substantial points against a Jazz team that's lost four of five. Utah is 16-13 straight-up on the road and just 1-10-2 ATS in its last 13 games as a favorite. Grab the points.

View Analysis
Last MEAC game for SC State...and while they get to finish off at home...the task is tough...facing one of the 2 NC schools vying for the league title. A&T has NCCentral on Thursday for what will most likely be the deciding game in the MEAC regular season.
Jay Joyner is in his 4th year as head coach and succeeding in bettering his team each year...and while tomorrow has the potential to be a nasty look ahead spot with NCC on deck...he will have his boys ready with their eyes on the priZe. They beat these boys at home by 15 as 7 point faves...and this math is correct...but flawed greatly.
A&T runs the fastest tempo over the past month in the nation...gets to the line AND forces turnovers nearly better than EVERY other of the 353 teams...and a look ahead is massively neutralized by a basic pickem spread!
TOs forced...last 5 - 12th nationally
FTR last 5 - 17th nationally
They are excellent with their 2 point shots from all over the court...and lack of offensive efficiency is limited by the tempo and more shots put up!
SC State has allowed a 114 defensive rating and that's good for bottom 20 in the country...while also losing thebattle on the glass!

The Bucks played Sunday night, but that’s not a big deal for them. They have gone 7-1 ATS with no rest. They’ve won their last six (5-1 ATS) and are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 overall. The Heat are allowing an average of 118 ppg in their last five, which has helped them ride a seven-game Over streak. Bucks are the top play Monday.

INDIANA @ SAN ANTONIO | 3/02 | 8:30 PM EST

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 33 points in the Spurs' 111-100 win at Indiana in November, but he’s expected to miss his third straight game tonight with a shoulder injury. The Pacers have won their last three, the last two with Victor Oladipo (ankle) back in the lineup. Indiana has gone 9-3 ATS in its last 12 road games. The Spurs are just 2-7 ATS in their last nine games anywhere. I’m on the Pacers to cover.

NC STATE @ DUKE | 3/02 | 7:00 PM EST
The erratic Blue Devils are coming off a winless road trip in which they they led Wake Forest by nine with a minute left before falling in double overtime and led Virginia most of the way before scoring just two points in the final 3 minutes. But one thing this freshmen-heavy club has consistently done well at home is beat up on the ACC's middle and lower class. Against teams that are .500 or lower in conference play, Duke is 6-0 and 5-1 ATS, with an average margin of victory of 28.3 points. The narrowest margin has been 12. Look for the Devils to avenge their loss to N.C. State in blowout fashion Monday.

TEXAS TECH @ BAYLOR | 3/02 | 9:00 PM EST
The slumping Red Raiders have lost two in a row by double digits and are now on the tournament bubble. They are likely in big trouble if they drop their last two Big 12 regular-season games and don't make a run in the conference tournament. The Bears have finally regressed a bit with losses in tow of their last three, although those defeats came by six total points. Look for a desperate Texas Tech club to push this one to the wire.
