The NBA COMP play is on the LA. Clippers at 3:30 eastern.
The Clippers fit a 75% long term system that plays on home favorites of 5 or more with a 200 or higher total that failed to cover as a home dog vs an opponent off road dog spread loss like the Bulls. Chicago has lost and failed to cover the last 4 and has allowed back to back 53% or higher shooting games to their opponent. The Clippers have covered 15 of 17 when they win as a favorite and the winning team has covered 24 straight in this series. On Saturday we have our 2018 College Basketball Total of the Year, a Big revenge system side, live dog with bite play and a 5* Late night bailout. There is a double perfect NBA Total and a perfect system dominator side. Jump on and put this powerful card on your side. For the NBA Free Play. Play on the LA. Clippers. RV- GC Sports

Play - Texas (Game 624).
Edges - Longhorns: 5-1 ATS at home off a previous home win, and 20-12 ATS in this series… Sooners: 2-12 ATS following a home game when facing an opponent off an away loss; and 1-6 ATS when coming off a home game with 3 or more days of rest… With OU off a win and UT off a loss, we recommend a 1* play on Texas. Thank you and good luck as always.

Kentucky vs. Missouri
Kentucky+1½
I'm backing the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday. Missouri snapped a three game losing streak when the caught Alabama at the right time. The Tide were fresh off their big win over Oklahoma. John Calipari has a young team, but they're starting to come together and will aim for their fourth straight win in this one. Kentucky is rather fierce on the defensive end, even on the road where they have held their "hosts" to 41 percent shooting and under 30 percent from behind the arc. The Wildcats drive the paint on the road, averaging a hefty 26+ free throw attempts per game to just 18 per contest for Missouri at home. The Tigers are shy on depth in the backcourt. When Terence Phillips was indefinitely suspended last week, it marked the third guard they have lost this season. Missouri has dropped five of their last eight games outright, and we believe they'll drop another one today. Our power ratings say Kentucky should be favored, yet they're getting a couple of points. We're recommending a play on the Wildcats on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.

Cincinnati vs. Connecticut
Connecticut+13
Scott "The Bulldog" Rickenbach CBB Game #532 Saturday Free Pick Connecticut Huskies (+) vs Cincinnati Bearcats @ Noon ET - In a game projected to total only about 125 points, I see a lot of value with having the big points on our side in this one. The home dog Huskies certainly have struggled but they did welcome back Terry Larrier in their most recent game and he had 15 points and 6 rebounds. Also, Connecticut fans are calling for the firing of head coach Kevin Ollie so you know he is on the hot seat here and I expect a huge effort from the Huskies here. The return of Larrier certainly helps and now the Huskies are back home with a chance for revenge against the team that knocked them out of the conference tournament last March. The Bearcats are on a 5-10 ATS run in February games and appear over-priced again here. The Huskies are on a 32-11 SU run in home games including 9-2 SU this season and they're sure to fight to the finish in this one! Free Pick CONNECTICUT

Saturday comp play release is Texas A&M as the home favorite over South Carolina.
South Carolina missed out on a golden opportunity on Wednesday night at home where they failed to take care of business against a Mississippi State team they really should have beaten. Now the Gamecocks are at 13-9 and likely resigned to playing in the NIT in March instead of the Big Dance. Meanwhile, Texas A&M is looking to play their way into the Big Dance still, and their 14-8 mark - while suspect - looks a little better to me than that of the 'Cocks.
A&M looked strong in blowing out Arkansas at College Station on Wednesday by 14-points as the Aggies improved to 10-2 straight up at home this season.
This is a double-revenge contest for the host, as the Aggies lost last season in Columbia, 79-68, and in the last meeting to take place at Reed Arena, the Gamecocks nipped the Aggs by a 3-spot, 81-78 back in 2016.
No issues for me to lay a few hoops with a Texas A&M team that is averaging almost 5 points per game more than South Carolina, and more importantly almost a full 7 rebounds more per game that the Gamecocks.
No more margin for error for Billy Kennedy's team.
Lay it with A&M
3* TEXAS A&M

Your Saturday comp play will be to lay it with the Tar Heels in their game against the Panthers.
Pitt is mired in a 10-game straight up losing streak that has dropped them to just 8-15 on the season, but give Kevin Stallings credit, as he has his team playing competitive of late, as the Panthers have covered 5 in a row in ACC play. Problem tonight is that even though they are getting the double-digits, they are facing a North Carolina team that will be in no mood to pussy-foot around. Roy Williams' team is mired in their first 3 game losing streak since 2014, and you can bet that the Heels will be in no mood to let the Panthers hang around at the Smith Center.
UNC still owns a 9-2 straight up mark at home, and they have made good in 7 of their 10 lined home games. The Tar Heels have also won the last 4 in this series, covering in 3 of the 4 wins.
After close losses their last 2 times on the hardwood, look for North Carolina to be chomping at the bit to get lower the boom on Pittsburgh tonight in Chapel Hill.
North Carolina to name it.
2* NORTH CAROLINA

Your Saturday freebie comes in the NBA on the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Yes, a bit of a large number for Minny here on Saturday night, but it comes with good reason, as New Orleans did just play in Oklahoma City last night - as they were able to end a 2-game slide with a 114-100 win.
The Timberwolves were idle on Friday, and they do bring a rather impressive 11-game straight up home court winning streak into this affair. Minnesota has covered in each of their last 9 wins at the Target Center, and that includes a January 6th, 116-98 blowout of the Pelicans as the small small -1 1/2 point home chalk. The T-Wolves have now won and covered the last 3 in the series, and 5 of the last 8 overall versus the Pels.
Minnesota is also on a 7-3 spread run the last 10 times New Orleans has come to town.
With Boogie now sidelined, and the Pelicans thinned in general with injuries, oh and also a little fatigued from last night's action against the Thunder, lay the big wood as Minnesota hammers New Orleans.
3* MINNESOTA
