At 7:30 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the Iowa/Nebraska game.  The Cornhuskers are 20-7-1 UNDER the total in their last 28 games.  And, for the season, Nebraska has gone UNDER the total by 7.4 ppg.  We'll look for another low-scoring game tonight against fellow Big 10 Conference foe, Iowa, as Sweet 16 and Elite 8 Round games are 66-42 UNDER the total their last 108.  The Hawkeyes also fall into a Tourney totals system of mine which is 177-112-5.  Take the UNDER.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Purdue Boilermakers minus the points over Texas.  The Boilermakers staggered a bit from January 7 thru March 12 when they went 11-7 SU and 4-14 ATS.  But since then, they're 5-0 SU and 4-1 ATS, with their only point spread loss coming by a mere half-point.  And, most impressively, they beat the Michigan Wolverines in the Big 10 title game by eight points, and another Sweet 16 entrant, Nebraska, by 16 points in the Big 10 quarterfinals.  Texas is not in the same class as those other teams.  Indeed, the Longhorns' defensive rating is the worst of any of the remaining 16 teams (while Purdue's offensive rating is the best).  I look for Purdue to trounce the Longhorns.  Lay the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the Auburn Tigers minus the points over Nevada.  The Mountain West Conference is a woeful 57-100-3 ATS in the post-season, when playing away from home vs. a non-conference foe, including 4-10 ATS vs. the SEC Conference, and 12-35 ATS when priced from +5 to +10.5 points.  Take Auburn to rout the Wolf Pack.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Miami Heat + the points over Cleveland.  This is the first of two games played here, in Cleveland, between these teams (the next game is Friday).  We'll take the underdog Heat in this one, as they'll be looking to snap a 5-game losing streak after getting manhandled by San Antonio, 136-111, on Monday.  The Heat are 42-14 ATS on the road off a 20+ point loss, if priced from +9.5 to -1.5.  And they're 78-49-4 ATS off back to back losses, when matched up against a foe off a SU win.  Finally, Miami is 25-15 ATS in the last 40 meetings.  Grab the points.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

Our 3 selections include the Los Angeles Lakers, Houston Rockets and Boston Celtics.<br><br>At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Los Angeles Lakers minus the points over Indiana.  The Lakers were upset by Detroit, 113-110, on Monday, snapping its 9-game win streak, while Indiana went into Orlando and won outright, 128-126, as a double-digit underdog, snapping its 16-game losing streak.  We'll take Luka Doncic & Co. to bounce back, as L.A. is 10-4 ATS its last 14 off an upset loss, while Indiana is a poor 8-15 ATS vs. foes off an upset loss.  And double-digit home dogs have cashed just 31.1% over the last 36 years off an upset win, when matched up against a foe off a SU/ATS loss.  Lay the points.<br><br>At 9:40 pm, our selection is on the Houston Rockets minus the points over Minnesota.  The Rockets were upset by the Chicago Bulls, 132-124, as a 9-point road favorite on Monday, while Minny went into Boston on Sunday, and stunned the Celtics, 102-92, as a 10-point dog.  The Rockets will catch a break this evening by not having to see Anthony Edwards, as the All-Star is sidelined with a knee injury.  Houston is 26-12 ATS its last 38 off an upset loss, while Minnesota is 17-30 ATS off an 8-point (or greater) upset win.  Take the Rockets.<br><br>At 7:40 pm, our selection is on the Boston Celtics + the points over Oklahoma City.  The Celts are a sensational 27-11 ATS when playing with same-season revenge.  And they're 90-48 ATS following a SU loss.  Both of these are active in tonight's game, as Boston lost on Sunday to the T-Wolves, 102-92, and also play with revenge from a 2-point loss in Oklahoma City 13 days ago.  Take Boston.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.

At 9 pm, our selection is on the UNDER in the New Mexico/St. Joseph's game.  The Hawks have played 22 of their last 31 games UNDER the total.  And, for the season, their games have gone UNDER the total by an average of 3.3 ppg.  St. Joe's is 11-4 UNDER on the road this season, and 10-3 UNDER their last 13 games when the O/U line was north of 151 points.  We'll look for a low-scoring game tonight, as the UNDER falls into a 156-90 Totals system of mine.  Take the UNDER.

At 7:35 pm, our selection is on the Tampa Bay Lightning over the Minnesota Wild.  The Lightning return home from a successful four-game road trip in which they went 3-1.  It was a success, but it was also a bit grueling as the Bolts had to play in four Western cities in six days.  The one loss came at the end of the trip in Calgary and despite being a heavy favorite against the Flames, Tampa was no doubt pretty exhausted at that point and could only manage a point in the 4-3 OT loss.  With a travel day on Monday, the Bolts should be in much better shape tonight playing in front of their fans as they begin their longest homestand of the season (seven games over 12 days).  And they'll need to be as the Wild is no slouch of a team, having a record that is almost as dominant as the Lightning.  But as we saw on that recent road trip, the Bolts have been very good this season against non-conference foes, going 21-8 in 29 games against teams from the West (10-3 here at home).  Tampa has won three of the last four home meetings with Minny going back to November 2021.  Take the Lightning.  As always, good luck...Al McMordie.

At 7:10 pm, our selection is on the Sacramento Kings + the points over Charlotte.  The Kings lost 16 games in a row from January 18 to February 21.  But since then, they've gone 7-7 SU/ATS, which must no doubt be frustrating to their fan base, which would prefer they lose games to improve their draft positioning.  But coach Doug Christie refuses to engage in tanking.  We'll grab the double-digits tonight, and go against a Charlotte team which is a poor 12-31-1 ATS at home off 3 SU/ATS wins.  And the Hornets also fall into a negative 156-252-9 ATS system of mine which goes against certain double-digit favorites.  Grab the points with the Kings.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
