New-Look Cavaliers Visit Thunder on Tuesday

OKC Thunder

Thunder Hosts Quicker, Younger Cavs Team



The Cleveland Cavaliers overhauled their team at the trade deadline. Their first game together a success. The Cavs try to keep the momentum going when they head out on the road to visit the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday. Tip-off is at 8 PM ET. TNT has the telecast live with their Players Only format.

Oddsmakers have the Thunder as 2-point favorites. The total is at 222.

The Cavaliers thumped Boston 121-99 on Sunday. LeBron James put up 24 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds. Larry Nance Jr., Jordan Clarkson, George Hill and Rodney Hood made their debuts for Cleveland. They all reached double figures for the Cavaliers.

Hill 15 scored 15, Clarkson chipped in 17 and Hood tallied 15. Cleveland seems to have gotten the jolt of energy they needed and have now won three straight games.

The Thunder were 32-25 SU, and 24-33 ATS, after a win over Memphis on Sunday. That was a significant turning point for the team. The Thunder had lost five of six before that outing.

They’ve been playing without Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony due to ankle injuries.

The Cavaliers are 6-4 SU and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 meetings with the Thunder, who beat Cleveland 148-124 on the road on January 20.

Mountaineers Host TCU in Big 12 Action

West Virginia Mountaineers

Mountaineers Look to Rebound



The TCU Horned Frogs and the West Virginia Mountaineers will both be trying to pick up a win on Monday when they battle at WVU Colliseum. Tip-off is set for 9 pm EST and ESPN2 has the telecast.

Oddsmakers opened the Mountaineers as -6-point favorites versus the Horned Frogs, while the game's total opened at 161. West Virginia is now an 8-point favorite and the total has dropped to 154.5.

West Virginia was a 88-85 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They failed to cover the -12.5-point spread as favorites.

The Mountaineers' defense unraveled during the 88-85 loss. They allowed 16 points over the final 2:50. That must be shored up as they prepare to face the conference's most efficient offensive team.

That squandered a career-high 33-point performance by Jevon Carter. He is the team's top offensive player at 17.2 points and 6.7 assists per game. West Virginia aims to get Sagaba Konate (10.5 points a game) and Ahmad (10.7 points) more involved.

TCU Need a Big Road Win Over Mountaineers



Last time out for TCU, they were a 87-71 winner as they battled the Texas Longhorns at home. They covered in the match as a -5.5-point favorite.

The Horned Frogs are an NCAA bubble team backed by solid metrics. They are 24th in RPI, 22nd in Ken Pom and they are probably needing at least eight league wins to nab an at-large bid.

The Horned Frogs have the nation's No. 5-rated offense according to KenPom. 6-foot-10 forward Vladimir Brodziansky scored 25 points and Kouat Noi sank four 3-pointers on his way to 18 points.

TCU has not beaten a ranked team on the road since the 1997-98 season. Monday expects to encounter an ornery opponent. West Virginia missed its chance to make a jump in the Big 12 standings. Their loss made them fall two games off the pace.

The Horned Frogs beat West Virginia for the first time in 12 tries. That signature victory featured the Mountaineers going nearly 10 minutes without a basket. It was a rare stretch of pesky guarding by the Frogs. Ken Pom rates only 128th defensively.

Pistons Host the Pelicans Monday Night

New Orleans Pelicans Basketball

Davis is Carrying Pelicans at the Moment



The fans at Little Caesars Arena will see the New Orleans Pelicans and the Detroit Pistons when they take their seats on Monday. Tip-off is at 7 pm EST and the game will be telecast regionally on Fox Sports Net.

Oddsmakers opened the Pistons as -4.5-point favorites versus the Pelicans, while the game's total opened at 218. The line is now Detroit -2.5 points and the total has risen to 221.5.

The Pelicans snapped a three game losing streak against the Nets. The Pelicans gave away a 20-point halftime lead in Brooklyn on Saturday. They survived with a 138-128 double-overtime victory. Anthony Davis carried them with 44 points, 17 rebounds, six steals and three blocks. He played 49 minutes and the Pelicans needed every one of them.

New Orleans needs every win it can get. They need to capture a lower seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The team lost to Minnesota, Utah and Philadelphia before its visit to Brooklyn.

Newly acquired Nikola Mirotic is averaging 14 points and 9.0 rebounds in four games since coming from Chicago. He had 21 points, 16 rebounds and five blocks against the Nets.

The Pelicans can sweep the season series against the Pistons tonight. New Orleans won at home, 112-109 on Jan. 8. Davis scored 30 points despite exiting in the third quarter with an ankle injury.

Pistons Trying to Halt a Losing Streak Against Pelicans



Detroit was a 118-115 loser in its last match on the road against the Atlanta Hawks. They failed to cover the -4-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 233 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.

Detroit has now lost two straight after a five-game winning streak.

Blake Griffin scored 23 points. The total was misleading. He made only one-third of his 21 shots from the field.

Point guard Jameer Nelson and small forward James Ennis III made their Pistons debuts. This was after being acquired at Thursday's trade deadline. Nelson had six points and five assists in 18 minutes. Ennis posted 14 points, four rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes.
