PHOENIX @ NEW YORK | 1/16 | 7:30 PM EST
The Suns didn't have Ricky Rubio when they lost in Atlanta, but he's back for tonight's game against the scuffling Knicks. He ranks second in the NBA with 9.3 assists per game. Back Phoenix to improve to 8-2 ATS in its last 10 visits to MSG.

TAMPA BAY -157
TAMPA BAY @ MINNESOTA | 1/16 | 8:00 PM EST
The Lightning are 9-1-0 in their last 10 games and they are starting to show signs of why they were so dominant last season. The Lightning are 13-7-2 on the road this season and they are headed to Minnesota to face a Wild team that has lost three games in a row. It looks like Alex Stalock will be starting, he is 9-7-3 with a 3.01 GAA and .903 save percentage. Take the value in the Lightning.
PITTSBURGH +109
PITTSBURGH @ BOSTON | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST
The Penguins have won four games in a row and they are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. They recently got Sidney Crosby back and they are 12-7-2 on the road. The Bruins are just 5-2-3 in their last 10 games and 15-2-9 at home this season. Tristan Jarry is 16-6-1 this season with a 2.12 GAA and .930 save percentage. Take the value in the Penguins on the road.
UNDER 6.5
NEW JERSEY @ WASHINGTON | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST
The Caps are ranked just 11th in the league in goals per game at home with 3.39 goals per game. The Devils are 25th in the league in goals per game on the road with 2.48 goals per game. The Devils have the fourth worst power play in the league and the Caps struggle at home on the power play to just 18.1% effectiveness, good for 23rd in the league. Ilya Samsonov is starting for the Caps and in his last four starts, he is 4-0 with a .960 save percentage. Take the under.

Arkansas State has the better talent and is improving with each game it plays. Appalachian State is definitely on the downside of its form and I do expect the visiting Red Wolves to win straight up.

OREGON ST. @ WASHINGTON | 1/16 | 11:00 PM EST
1:58 PM
The last four Washington games have not exceeded 114 in regulation time, so it would be quite a leap to hit this total. Oregon State shoots it well, but the Huskies’ notoriously effective zone defense can throw a wrench into the visitors’ offense. The home side is hurting from the suspension of PG Quade Green, which has partly led to the scoring draught.
6-0 IN LAST 6 WASH O/U PICKS | +600
UNDER 132.5
CALIFORNIA @ USC | 1/16 | 10:30 PM EST
1:56 PM
t’s amazing how both teams have set up camp in Underland for an extended period. California is on a 35-17-1 streak on the road, while USC is a nearly identical 35-16-1 at home. More recently, the two teams have combined for one Over in their last 10 -- Cal away, USC home. Trojans standout Onyeka Okuongwa’s scoring slump could contribute to another Under.
5-0 IN LAST 5 USC O/U PICKS | +500
ARIZONA ST. +1.5
COLORADO @ ARIZONA ST. | 1/16 | 9:00 PM EST
1:54 PM
The Buffaloes swept their homestand but are historically a bust away, with seven covers in their last 27. The Sun Devils have missed covering once in the last eight as an underdog in Tempe. Colorado is ranked despite a proclivity for turnovers, which looms large in its first road game since Dec. 13.
2-1 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +90
5-1 IN LAST 6 ARIZST ATS PICKS | +385
COASTAL CAROLINA -5
LITTLE ROCK @ COASTAL CAROLINA | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST
1:51 PM
Little Rock is leaning toward holding out G Markquis Nowell (hamstring) for the third straight game. The Trojans have missed their versatile standout, whose 18.8-point average is second in the Sun Belt and 2.5 steals average is best. They lost both, scoring a season-low 43 in the latter. Coastal has won three of the last four straight-up.
2-1 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +90
5-0 IN LAST 5 CSTCAR ATS PICKS | +500

NORTHEASTERN @ CHARLESTON | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST
3:32 PM
Northeastern is coming off consecutive home losses by two points. Now 3-2 in the CAA, the Huskies must regroup Thursday on the road against Charleston. They have shined in road spots ,including a recent three-game road win streak to conclude December. Grab Northeastern as its guard play excels in this game.

LITTLE ROCK +5
LITTLE ROCK @ COASTAL CAROLINA | 1/16 | 7:00 PM EST
3:27 PM
Arkansas Little Rock has inexplicably faltered in consecutive games, including a head-scratching loss at home to South Alabama. On Thursday, the Trojans face a Coastal Carolina team that has averaged 79 points in its last four games. Even with Little Rock coming off a 43-point effort, look for improved play in this one.

DENVER -4
DENVER @ GOLDEN ST. | 1/16 | 10:30 PM EST
Jamal Murray is doubtful and both Gary Harris and Paul Millsap are questionable tonight. It's those injuries, as well as Denver playing the second half of a back-to-back, that has the spread so low here. But the Nuggets are the deepest team in the NBA with a steady rotation of hungry players loving the chance to get more minutes tonight. Nuggets get the cover.

Play on: OVER 225 Utah Jazz @ New Orleans Pelicans, 8PM ET
This marks the 3rd meeting of the season for these two clubs and the first two soared Over the posted totals with 248 and 254 total points being scored in the two games. Those two contests saw 184 and 183 combined field goals attempted which are both higher than league average per game. The Pelicans are 5th in the NBA in pace of play and will look to push the tempo. Utah is 20th in pace but make up for it with the 11th ranked offensive efficiency unit averaging 1.108 points per possession. The Jazz average 109.7PPG on the season but during their current 10-game winning streak they are scoring a hair under 117PPG. New Orleans has also seen an uptick in scoring of late as they are scoring +5 more points per game in their last five games compared to their season average. The Pelicans will be without Jrue Holiday tonight who is one of the teams leading scorers but he’s also one of the leagues best perimeter defenders which makes stopping the Jazz’s Donovan Mitchel (24PPG) that much tougher. The Over is on a 7-3 run in this series and win #8 is on hand this evening.

Memphis, which is a young and fragile team, was “lucky” to escape USF with a victory, The Tigers won't be as fortunate in this one. Cincinnati is clicking right now as the squad is buying into its new coach and system.
16-10 IN LAST 26 CBB PICKS | +636
S. ILLINOIS +10
S. ILLINOIS @ LOYOLA-CHI. | 1/16 | 8:00 PM EST
4:44 PM
Southern Illinois coach Bryan Mullins used to be Loyola coach Porter Moser’s right-hand man. I’m not saying they will win, but the Salukis will know how to contain Loyola's Cam Krutwig, the best player in The Valley. Take Southern Illinois and the points.

ORLANDO @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 1/16 | 10:30 PM EST
2:54 PM
Yes, this line would look far better if Paul George (hamstring) was available, but considering that Orlando is playing on the second night of a back-to-back after posting their biggest win of the season over the Lakers, they likely will be emotionally - and physically - spent. Markelle Fultz was excellent against the Lakers, but he has tended to regress after great efforts this season. With Evan Fournier, D.J. Augustin and Michael Carter-Williams all dealing with injuries, Fultz is basically the last remaining ball-handler for Orlando. He'll have the undivided attention of Patrick Beverley and Kawhi Leonard, and that doesn't bode well for the Magic.
8-5 IN LAST 13 NBA PICKS | +255
UTAH -5
UTAH @ NEW ORLEANS | 1/16 | 8:00 PM EST
2:46 PM
Until the Jazz manage to lose a game, there is no good reason not to keep riding them. Their winning streak is currently at 10. They've won the first two games of this road trip by double digits, and seven of their victories during the streak also have come by at least 10 points. They have the NBA's third-ranked offense since Mike Conley Jr. (hamstring) went down in early December, and while New Orleans' defense certainly has improved since Derrick Favors returned, it gave up 128 points to Utah when these teams met 10 days ago. The Jazz look unstoppable at the moment, so cash in while you have the chance.
8-5 IN LAST 13 NBA PICKS | +255
3-0 IN LAST 3 UTA ATS PICKS | +300
