Pick: Dallas Mavericks -10
A tough spot for Sacramento, a team that plays little defense and is in the second of a back to back spot, playing at Memphis last night. The Kings are 5-11 ATS in their last 16 games playing on no days rest and on a 5-13-1 ATS overall. Dallas is rested and playing better, on a 13-3 ATS run and 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games playing on one days rest. When these teams meet the home team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and the Kings are 4-17-1 ATS in the last 22 meetings in Dallas. Play the Mavericks! -Jim Feist

Pick: New York Knicks -8.5
The Raptors have won 3 in a row with 2 of those wins coming against the Pacers and Nuggets. Unfortunately, this will be their second game in as many nights and third in four days, and I don’t believe they’ll have enough left in the tank here. The Knicks are coming off an ugly 14-point loss at home to the Clippers so they should be hungry. Plus, they have had 2 days of rest so they should also be the much fresher team. New York is 10-2 ATS when matched up against poor teams with a winning percentage of .250 to .400 this season. It has defeated these teams by an average of 11.2 points. Also, the Knicks are on an 8-0 ATS run in home games played in the second half of the schedule versus teams that have a losing record. They have won these contests by an average of 21.7 points. Lay the number. -Dave Price

Pick: Texas A&M +1
A&M has shown an ability to beat good teams at home they already lost on the road so this is a nice revenge game for them. A&M beat Missouri and took Kentucky to OT recently at home and Miss should struggle on the road where their 2 point defense has struggled allowing 53.2% in their last 3 and 49.5% on the road overall. A&M will take most of their shots from two point range so advantage Aggies. Other than that these two teams are pretty similar in conference play statistic wise and home court should give the Aggies an advantage. -Freddy Wills

Pick: South Florida -1
After being humiliated by Marquette and Villanova in its last two, look for South Florida to take its frustrations out all over a Providence squad it has defeated five times in the last six meetings. Providence checks in off back-to-back upset wins over Villanova and Cincinnati but the momentum gained from those victories has been lost as the Friars haven’t played in a week. Plus, they have really struggled on the road where they have dropped 5 of 7. The Bulls are on a 6-0 ATS run in games following 2 straight losses of 15 points or more. They have won by an average of 6.8 points in this situation. -Jeff Alexander
