NBA Tuesday Free Pick- Washington Wizards at Milwaukee Bucks

Bucks & Sixers Want Good Start to 2nd Half

The Washington Wizards square off against the Milwaukee Bucks in one of the TNT featured games on Tuesday. This battle between two of the top teams in the Eastern Conference should be a good one to watch. Game time is set for 8 p.m.

VietBet opened the Bucks as four-point home favorites with the total set at 210.5. The line i snow Milwaukee -3 and the total is up to 212.

Bucks Look to Cool Down Hot Wizards

The Wizards come into this game at 4-1 both straight-up and against the spread in their last five games. The total has stayed UNDER the VietBet closing line in three of the five outings. They are currently holding down fourth place in the East at 35-25. They have a 29-31 record ATS.

Washington is 17-14 SU (18-13 ATS) on the road this season. This is after going 6-1 (SU and ATS) in its seven road games.

Washington continues to press on without the services of veteran guard John Wall while he rehabs his knee. His back-court partner, Bradley Beal, has done a good job at filling the void. He has averaged a team-high 23.7-points during the absence. He put up 24 points in Sunday’s 109-94 victory against Philadelphia at home to snap the 76ers’ recent seven-game winning streak.

The Wizards are 11^th in the league in scoring with an average of 107.4 points per game.

Bucks Look to Have More Consistent 2nd Half

The Bucks are sixth in the East at 33-26 SU after dropping a tight 123-121 overtime decision against New Orleans on Sunday.  They were a 4.5-point favorite at VietBet. They are an even 3-3 SU with a 2-4 record ATS in their last six games. The total went OVER in four of their last five outings.

Milwaukee is 5-2 SU in its last seven home games. They have failed to cover in five of those seven contests. The Bucks are 19-11 SU at home with a 10-18-2 record ATS.

Three of Milwaukee’s five starters scored at least 20 points in Sunday’s loss. Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to lead the team in points at 27.6 a pop, in rebounds at 10.3, and assists at 4.90.  He is converting on 53.5 percent of his shots from the floor.

The Bucks are ranked 17^th in the league in scoring with an average of 105.2 PPG. They are allowing that exact same amount of points on defense.

I like the Bucks at home SU. I am not all that confident they can pay off ATS. The top play in this matchup is the OVER 212 on the VietBet total line.

Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Washington Wizards Preview

Cavaliers Look to Start 2nd Half off Strong

Two of the top four seeds in the East battle Thursday night on TNT to kick-off the unofficial second-half of the NBA season. The Cleveland Cavaliers and Washington Wizards both went into the All-Star break on high notes. Both teams winning 7 of their last 10 games.

The Wizards also won their last two games. The Cavs come in on a four-game win streak. Cleveland sits in third place in the East, with Washington just 1.5 games behind in the fourth spot. At 34-22 on the season the Cavs are 18-37-1 ATS. The Wizards sit at 33-24 and are 27-30 ATS.

Online sports betting lines for this contest show the Cavaliers as 5.5-point favorites. The total is at 221.

Wizards Without Wall Against Cavaliers

The Wizards will be without John Wall in this contest. He is expected to be out until mid-March. Washington has played surprisingly well without Wall lately. The team is currently searching for another point guard to add to the roster while he’s out.

In their last game, Washington rallied all the way from a 27-point deficit to take down the Knicks. Bradley Beal put up 37 points in that contest. Beal will continue to the lead way without Wall. Otto Porter Jr and Markieff Morris will need to supplement Beal’s scoring in this one for the Wizards to match Cleveland’s firepower.

Washington looks to be playing more free and easy without Wall and some of the Wizards players have even not so subtly hinted at this fact. Everyone is getting the chance to contribute which makes them dangerous.

Cavaliers Look to Battle On Without Love

Cleveland is also a team that knows a thing or two about playing without a star player. The Cavs have also fared well in the absence of forward Kevin Love. That is in large part to their activity at the trade deadline. They are now basically a whole new team altogether.

The emergence of new players Larry Nance, Jordan Clarkson, George Hill and Rodney Hood has made Cleveland a much more athletic and youthful bunch. The additions have also seemed to re-energize LeBron James and JR Smith.

Even without Love, Cleveland’s offense is now as dangerous as ever. After being repeatedly embarrassed against the top teams in the league, Cleveland defeated Boston and Oklahoma City to go 2-0 with their new roster.

Expect Cleveland to keep the momentum going in this one as the Wizards will have a tough time keeping up the scoring pace without Wall. For more on this game and all other action across the NBA, visit HRWager.

Xavier Hosts Villanova in Weekend Clash

Big East Titans Clash

The 3rd-ranked Villanova Wildcats and the 4th-ranked Xavier Musketeers square off on Saturday at Cintas Center. Tip-off is set for 4:30 pm EST and FOX will broadcast the matchup nationally.

It's been a historic season for Xavier. The Musketeers try to nail down their first Big East Conference title. That could lead to a possible No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.  Villanova could be standing firmly in the way.

Oddsmakers opened the Wildcats as -1-point favorites versus the Musketeers, while the game's total opened at 165.5. The line has held steady, but the total is down to 164.

Xavier holds a 1 1/2-game lead over the defending national champions. Nova' has dominated the current version of the Big East since it formed 2013.

The Musketeers have had little luck against head coach Jay Wright's Wildcats. They have lost nine of 10 meetings, including three during the 2014-15 season.

Villanova easily dispatched Xavier in the first meeting this season. It was an 89-65 butt-kicking at the Wells Fargo Center back on Jan. 10. Wildcats guard Phil Booth scored a game-high 21 points. He will not play Saturday because of a bone fracture.

Xavier is the Real Deal

Xavier was a 102-90 winner in its last match at home against the Seton Hall Pirates. They covered the -6.5-point spread as favorites.

Xavier has already put the NCAA selection committee on notice. They have an impressive body of work. A victory Saturday over one of the nation's best teams would be another milestone in an already historic season.

Villanova Struggling as it Travels to Xavier

Villanova was a 76-71 loser in its last match on the road against the Providence Friars. They failed to cover the -9.5-point spread as favorites.

Villanova has dropped two of its last three games. That includes the stunning loss at Providence. Nova' had a season-high 19 turnovers, with 13 of them coming in the second half.

Bouncing back from a loss has been a hallmark for the Wildcats, who haven't lost consecutive games since the 2012-13 season.

A victory Saturday is crucial for both teams. Xavier would have a 2 1/2-game lead with three to play. They would have a favorable schedule with games at Georgetown, Providence, and at DePaul.

If the Wildcats were to knock off the Musketeers things could get dicey.  If they run the table against DePaul, Creighton, Seton Hall and Georgetown, they could finish tied with Xavier and earn the title based on a season sweep.

This will be Eubank’s first crack at a major title, but he’s a rising star in the squared circle; Groves (27-3, 20 KOs) has been in five different title fights, and he’ll be defending the WBA strap for the second time after beating Fedor Chudinov (+300) for the vacant title last May.

Besides the moneyline, there are 13 other ways you can bet on Saturday’s fight – including the popular Method of Victory prop, where Eubank is +165 to win by KO/TKO/DQ. Groves is +300 to do the same. This bout is pegged at –145 not to go the distance; the official total is 9.5 rounds (Over –140), but you can also bet on totals anywhere from 2.5 rounds to 10.5 rounds. The most likely stoppage in Round Betting is Eubank winning in Round 6 or 7 at +1600 apiece.

Celtics Face New Look Clippers

The Los Angeles Clippers have traded Blake Griffin. That doesn’t mean they’re giving up the ghost. The Clippers are 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS since sending Griffin to Detroit. Wednesday night they’ll play the Boston Celtics.

The Celtics have lost three of their last four games straight up and against the spread. Tip-off is at 8 PM ET on ESPN. Oddsmakers have Celtics as 4.5-point favorites and the total is at 212.

Los Angeles had a history of playing well whenever Griffin was out of the lineup. That happened quite a lot during his tenure. They now have a better-balanced and deeper lineup at the helm. Tobias Harris is at small forward and Danilo Gallinari replacing Griffin at the 4-spot. They are alongside defensive stalwart DeAndre Jordan.

Starting point guard Milos Teodosic has missed back-to-back games dealing with the sore right foot. It is a problem that has troubled him all season.

The Celtics (40-18 SU, 34-22-2 ATS) didn’t make any trades at last week’s deadline, but they did sign centre Greg Monroe for the remainder of 2017-18. Monroe played very well in 20 games for the Phoenix Suns before getting his contract bought out. Meanwhile, SG Marcus Smart (hand) is being shut down until after the All-Star break, giving more minutes to improving third-year guard Terry Rozier.
