Rockets-Mavs in Texas Showdown

 

The Houston Rockets (33-12 SU, 22-22-1 ATS) have the second-best record in the NBA. They might be the league’s top team when both Chris Paul and James Harden are healthy. Both MVP candidates are expected to suit up for Wednesday’s road game against their in-state rivals. The showdown with the Dallas Mavericks (16-31 SU, 24-22-1 ATS), beginning at 8 PM ET on ESPN.

Oddsmakers have the Rockets as 16.5-point favorites. The total is sitting at 217.5.

Harden recently missed seven games with a strained hamstring. The Rockets went 4-3 SU and ATS during his absence. They are 3-0 SU and ATS since his return on January 18.

Earlier this year Paul sat out 14 games with a bruised left knee. Houston went 10-4 SU and 7-7 ATS. The two All-Star guards have otherwise worked very well in their first season together.

Meanwhile, this has been a difficult year for the Mavericks. Dirk Nowitzki has aged gracefully, but he’s merely competent now instead of a top player in the league. Center Nerlens Noel remains out until February after tearing a ligament in his left thumb.

Assorted backcourt injuries have also put extra pressure on rookie point guard Dennis Smith Jr. His performance level has improved dramatically as the season has progressed.

Sooners Host Jayhawks in Big 12 Showdown

Sooners and Jayhawks Jockey for Top Spot in Conference

The 5th-ranked Kansas Jayhawks and the 12th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners will battle on Tuesday at Lloyd Noble Center. Tip-off is set for 7 pm EST and ESPN will telecast this Big 12 heavyweight showdown.

Oddsmakers opened the Jayhawks as -1-point favorites versus the Sooners, while the game's total opened at 171. The line now shows Oklahoma as a 1-point favorite now. The total is at 171.5.

Sooners Trae Young Is the Cog

Oklahoma was a 83-81 loser in their most recent outing on the road against their rival the Oklahoma State Cowboys. They failed to cover the -2-point spread as favorites.

Trae Young chose the Sooners over the Jayhawks when he committed. But, there's not much time to get caught up in the hype of playing Kansas. The only thing the players are thinking about are snapping out of the recent two-game skid the Sooners have. Young is chipping in 30.5 points per game.

Young scored 48 in the loss to Oklahoma State.

Kansas has Two Game Lead over Sooners in Big 12

Kansas won its last outing, a 70-67 result against the Baylor Bears on January 20. They failed to cover in that game as a -8-point favorite.

Kansas may not have the highly talented lottery picks that they have had in recent years, but the Jayhawks still are in control of the Big 12. They are in position to claim a 14th consecutive regular-season conference title. They have a two-game lead.

Point guard Devonte' Graham averages nearly 10-assist per game average and makes the Kansas offense go. He's also Kansas' best defender and figures to draw the task of slowing Young most of the game.

NBA Tuesday Preview and Free Pick- Cleveland Cavs at San Antonio Spurs

Spurs and Cavs Both Struggling to Find Identity

Two top NBA powers struggling to find wins lately clash on Tuesday night with the Cleveland Cavaliers on the road against the San Antonio Spurs. The game will have an 8 p.m. tip on TNT from the AT&T Center.

BetAnySports opened the Spurs as 3.5-point home favorites. The total line opened at 210 points. The line moved to Cleveland -2-points and the total has risen to 212.

Spurs Catch Cavs In a Bad Rut

The Cavaliers have now lost 10 of their last 13 games straight-up. They have been even worse against the spread at 2-16 over their last 18 contests. This is all part of a SU 27-18 record while going a costly 12-32-1 ATS.

Cleveland has failed to cover in 14 of its first 23 road games this season. The total has gone OVER in three of their last four road games on BetAnySports’ closing line.

Isaiah Thomas is back in the lineup for Cleveland. He led the way in scoring with 24 points against Oklahoma City on Saturday. His team was still on the wrong end of a 148-124 loss. They were a slight 2.5-point home favorite.

LeBron James added 18 points and seven assists. The Cavaliers could not bounce back from a 19-point deficit at the end of the first quarter.

Spurs have Been Struggling as Well

San Antonio has been sliding down the standings in the Western Conference. A 2-4 SU slide in its last six games has been detrimental. The Spurs have gone 2-3-1 ATS during this same span. The total stayed UNDER BetAnySports’ closing spread in all six games.

San Antonio is still one of the best home teams in the league at 19-3 SU. They have covered in 14 of the 22 games. The total has stayed UNDER in four of its last five home games.

The changing of the guard in San Antonio continues to take shape. Veteran guard Tony Parker is playing off the bench with fellow veteran Manu Ginobili. Manu remains out of the lineup with a thigh bruise. In Sunday’s 94-86 loss to Indiana as six-point home favorites, Parker scored 12 points while going 5-for-10 from the floor.

The Spurs are ranked 28^th in the league in scoring with 100.6 points per game. They remain at the top of the list in points allowed at 97.5 a game.

Both teams are trying to regain their winning form at the midway point of the season. When it comes to this matchup, I would have to lean towards San Antonio ATS coming off a bad loss on its home court.

Va Tech Hosts North Carolina in ACC Action

10th Ranked North Carolina Going for 5th Straight

The 10th-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels and the Virginia Tech Hokies meet on Monday at Cassell Coliseum. Tip-off is set for 7 pm EST and ESPN has the telecast.

North Carolina can't be making too much of a four-game winning streak. They've got another game tonight on a quick turnaround. The Hokies are no slouch at home either.

Oddsmakers opened the Tar Heels as -4-point favorites versus the Hokies, while the game's total opened at 163.5. Line now shows North Carolina as 3.5-points favorites and the total is up to 164.

Virginia Tech is a Formidable Opponent for North Carolina

In their last action, Virginia Tech was a 91-82 loser at home against Florida State Seminoles. They failed to cover the -1.5-point spread as favorites.

Hokies junior guard Justin Robinson is coming off a career-best 26-point against Florida State on Saturday.

Virginia Tech has been outrebounded in five of its six ACC games. It has been with double-digit rebounding margins in three of those games.

The Hokies will hope to benefit from an energized campus for tonight's game. It has been designated a "black-out". Fans are encouraged to wear black.

North Carolina Looks Like They are Hitting Their Stride

North Carolina was a 80-66 winner in its last match at home against Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. They covered the -13.5-point spread as favorites.

North Carolina has established itself as one of the country's top rebounding teams. Even without a major post presence. In Saturday's victory against Georgia Tech, the Tar Heels held a 46-25 rebounding advantage.

That resulted in a season-high 26 second-chance points. It helped offset 42.2 percent shooting from the field. The mark was the second-worst shooting percentage in a North Carolina victory this season.

Joel Berry was one of the players with shooting woes. He was 3-for-17 from the field Saturday. Berry made a career-high nine free throws. He matched a career-best with eight rebounds.
