Golden State @ Oklahoma City 8:10 PM ET

Game# 567-568

Play On: Oklahoma City +5.5 (5*)

Golden State has been Jekyll and Hyde regarding their home/away splits. The Warriors are 19-6 at home but a dismal 6-18 on the road. They’re coming off a 129-117 home win over Toronto in their previous game and that’s the good news. The bad is that they’re 2-10 ATS on the road this season following a win in their previous game, and they were outscored by an average of 12.0 points per game.

Oklahoma City is 6-0 ATS and 5-1 SU in their last 6 as an underdog of 2.0 or greater. The Thunder are also an extremely profitable 10-1 ATS and 8-3 SU during its last 11 games. Throughout their previous 5 contests OKC has shot a red-hot 49.7% from the field and made an exceptional 41.0% of its 3-point shot attempts.

Give me Oklahoma City plus the points.

Sacramento @ Minnesota 8:10 PM ET

Game# 557-558

Play On: Sacramento -110 (5*)

Sacramento is coming off a 117-10 loss at Minnesota on Saturday. That loss dropped their season record to 27-21. Minnesota is coming off back-to-back home underdog SU wins over Sacramento and Memphis which improved their season record to 27-25 (.519). This sets up a favoravle NBA betting angle which supports the road team.

Any NBA team like Sacramento who has a winning record, versus an opponent like Minnesota coming off home underdog SU wins in each of their previous 2 games, and they have a win percentage of .510 to .600, resulted in those NBA road teams going 26-6 (81.2%) on the money line since the beginning of the 1996-1997 season. The average money line for those teams like Sacramento was -113.3 and they outscored their 32 opponents by an average of 9.8 points per game.

Give me Sacramento on the money line.

Baylor @ Texas 9:00 PM ET

Game# 875-876

Play On: Texas -4.0 (5*)

Despite Baylor enter today riding a 6-game win streak, they shot 37.1% or worse in each of their previous 3 games. Baylor has allowed a lofty 74 points or more in 4 of their 5 true road games. They will be facing a Texas team which has scored 72 points or more in all 12 of their home games this season.

Texas is coming off an 82-71 road loss to Tennessee on Saturday. Texas is 3-0 SU&ATS following a loss this season. The Longhorns are also 11-1 at home this season.

Give me Texas minus the points.

UNLV @ Colorado State 9:00

Game# 637-638

Play On: Colorado State -3.0 (5*)

This line tells me all I need to know. Colorado State is 0-3 SU&ATS in their last 3 and 2-8 SU&ATS during its previous 10. The Rams are a disappointing 10-12 this season. UNLV is coming off win in each of their last 2 to improve its season record to 14-7. Yet, it’s Colorado State who’s the favorite. We also must keep in mind that UNLV is 1-3 SU&ATS in conference road games thus far. Additionally, Colorado State won at UNLV earlier this season 82-81 despite committing 20 turnovers and allowing 31 free throw attempts. Neither is likely to come near happening again.

Give me Colorado State minus the points.

St. Louis @ Fordham 7:00 PM ET

Game# 611-612

Play On: St. Louis -4.0 (5*)

Fordham is about as fraudulent of a 17-4 team as you’ll ever find. The Rams have played the 16th easiest schedule in all of college basketball this season. They are 13-2 at home but just 2-2 when facing conference opponents.

St. Louis enters today riding a red-hot 6-game win streak and that includes 3-0 SU&ATS on the road versus conference opponents. The Billikens have shot 50.7% from the field and made an excellent 42.2% of its 3-point shot attempts throughout their previous 5 contests.

Give me St. Louis plus the points.

Texas A&M @ Arkansas 7:00 PM ET

Game# 619-620

Play On: Texas A&M +3.5 (5*)

Texas A&M is a red-hot 9-1 in their last 10 with their lone loss coming at Kentucky by 9 in a game that was much tighter than the final score indicates. During their other 3 conference away game this season the Aggies were 3-0 SU&ATS which included wins over Florida and Auburn. Texas is allowing just 61.6 points per game in SEC games while holding opponents to a mere 37.5% shooting. The Aggies are the better team at this point and they’ve already proven that playing on the road has little to no negative effect on them.

Give me Texas A&M plus the points.

Indiana @ Maryland 9:00 PM ET

Game# 643-644

Play On: Maryland -2.5 (10*)

Indiana is coming off a home blowout win over Ohio State. However, it must be noted that Indiana is currently a money line underdog of +130 in this matchup. Since the start of the 2020-2021 season, Indiana is 0-10 SU as a money line road underdog of +200 or less and lost by an average of 11.0 points per game. They were in that situation twice this season and lost at Penn State by 19 and at Kansas by 22.

Maryland is 11-1 SU at home this season with their lone defeat coming against an extremely good UCLA team. Nevertheless, the Terrapins are a perfect 5-0 SU&ATS in conference home games this season with an average victory margin of 11.2 points per game.

Give me Maryland minus the points.
