The Portland Trail Blazers, sitting at 16-28 and 13th in the Western Conference, are set to take on the Charlotte Hornets, who hold an 11-29 record and rank 13th in the East. This game will mark the first meeting of the season between these two teams. The Trail Blazers are riding the momentum of a three-game winning streak, most recently dismantling the Orlando Magic on the road with a commanding 101-79 victory. Anfernee Simons led the charge in that game, contributing 21 points and three assists. Meanwhile, the Hornets are coming off a 132-120 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, where defensive lapses were evident as Memphis shot an impressive 50% from the field and 44.7% from three-point range.

Offensively, Portland has struggled, ranking 26th in the league with an average of 107.9 points per game. Despite these numbers, the team has managed to maintain some efficiency, shooting 44.9% from the field and 33.8% from beyond the arc. At the free-throw line, they convert at a respectable 76.7% and average 43.3 rebounds per game. Simons has been the team’s cornerstone on offense, averaging 18.2 points per game and stepping up as a leader for this developing roster. On the defensive end, Portland’s performance has been underwhelming, allowing 115.6 points per game while opponents shoot 47.5% from the floor and 37.5% from three. Despite their defensive struggles, the team’s recent form has been promising, limiting opponents to just 96 points per game over their last three outings—a significant improvement fueled by young players adapting and improving as the season progresses.

Charlotte’s season has been equally challenging. Their offense averages 107.4 points per game while shooting 43.1% from the field, 34.4% from deep, and 77.4% from the free-throw line. The team has leaned heavily on LaMelo Ball for scoring and playmaking, but offensive inconsistency has been a recurring issue. On the defensive side, Charlotte concedes 113.0 points per game, allowing opponents to shoot 46.6% overall and 35.2% from three-point range. Recent struggles have highlighted vulnerabilities, with the Hornets surrendering an average of 118.4 points over their last five games.

Statistically, the two teams are closely matched, with Portland holding the 27th spot in net rating at -7.5, while Charlotte ranks 24th at -5.4. However, the recent trends in defensive performance suggest a significant gap. The Trail Blazers’ defensive resurgence has been a key factor in their three-game winning streak, while Charlotte continues to struggle on that end of the floor.

Injuries could also play a pivotal role in this matchup. The Hornets are dealing with several setbacks, including the absence of Brandon Miller and the uncertain status of key players like LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges. If Ball and Bridges are unable to suit up, it could severely impact Charlotte’s offensive capabilities, potentially shifting the balance of the game.

Recent history between the two teams also favors Portland, as they’ve won four of their last five matchups against Charlotte and have consistently performed well against the spread in these encounters. While the Hornets will benefit from their home-court advantage, their inconsistency, coupled with Portland’s recent surge in form, creates an intriguing dynamic.

The Blazers come into this game as 5-point underdogs, but their ability to cover the spread in their last six road games, combined with their renewed defensive tenacity, suggests they are well-positioned to keep this contest competitive. Their recent victory over Orlando, marked by a stellar defensive effort that held the Magic to 34.2% shooting, underscores their potential to rise to the occasion.

🏀The Portland Trailblazers are 11-0 ATS on the road vs Eastern Conference opponents when they went UNDER the total in their previous meeting and the spread is less than +12.0
❔This trend suggests that the Blazers tend to perform well on the road in these situations. Their ability to bounce back after low-scoring games (UNDER results) indicates strong defensive adjustments, especially when facing Eastern Conference teams. The spread being under +12.0 shows they aren’t heavily favored, meaning they have value as a strong underdog.

📊Away underdogs are 82-47-2 ATS (64%) since 2020 when their opponent si from the Eastern Conference, their previous game was on the road and went over the expected total and they allow more points per game than the league average.
❔Teams that have allowed more points than usual tend to adjust defensively after a high-scoring affair, making them more resilient in subsequent games, particularly when they’re underdogs. The OVER result in their previous game suggests they were involved in a fast-paced, high-scoring environment, and these teams often perform better when they go on the road in these types of situations.

The Blazers are currently 5-point underdogs. They are on a three-game winning streak, recently defeating the Orlando Magic 101-79, showcasing a strong defensive performance by holding the Magic to just 34.2% shooting. Anfernee Simons has been a key player, averaging 18.3 points per game, and he scored 21 points in their last game. Given their recent form and the fact that they have covered the spread in their last six road games, I believe they can keep this game close and potentially cover the spread.

The Purdue Boilermakers are navigating a strong season with a 15-5 record, positioning themselves in third place within the Big Ten. Despite a narrow 70-73 loss to Ohio State in their most recent outing, Purdue has showcased resilience throughout the year. With an 11-9 record against the spread and a 10-9-1 mark in totals, they’ve been relatively consistent for bettors. Their dominance at Mackey Arena is a significant factor, boasting a stellar 9-1 home record. On the offensive end, Purdue averages 76.9 points per game, ranking 126th nationally. They excel in efficiency, shooting 49% from the field (22nd) and 38.4% from beyond the arc (23rd). Defensively, the Boilermakers allow 67.7 points per game, placing them 75th in the nation, and their ability to limit opponents has been a cornerstone of their success. Though their free-throw shooting sits at a respectable 72.4% (158th), rebounding remains an area of concern, as their 33 boards per game rank 313th. Trey Kaufmann-Renn has emerged as the team’s leading scorer, averaging 18.3 points and a team-high 6.5 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, Braden Smith complements him well, contributing 15 points and a team-best 8.9 assists per game. Their offensive leadership has been crucial to Purdue’s success.

Michigan, the 21st-ranked team in the nation, enters this matchup with a 14-4 record and plenty of momentum. The Wolverines have won four of their last five games, including a gritty overtime victory against Northwestern. Michigan has been potent offensively, averaging 84.6 points on 50.6% shooting from the field, while their defense allows 69.4 points per game. Vladislav Goldin leads the team with 16.4 points per game, supported by Tre Donaldson, who adds 12.6 points and 4.3 assists. Danny Wolf’s presence in the paint, averaging 12.5 points and 10.2 rebounds, gives Michigan an edge on the boards.

In their last outing, Purdue shot 48.1% from the floor to post 70 points against Ohio State, but defensive lapses proved costly. The Boilermakers allowed 73 points on 53.3% shooting and conceded 11 three-pointers, ultimately losing the rebounding battle and turning the ball over 10 times. Kaufmann-Renn shined despite the loss, scoring 26 points on 16 shots.

This matchup between two top-25 teams promises to be a competitive affair, but Purdue’s strengths on both ends of the court provide a clear path to victory. Their defensive prowess and home-court advantage should allow them to dictate the pace and control the game. While Michigan’s offense has been impressive, Purdue’s ability to execute at both ends will likely prove decisive in this contest. Expect the Boilermakers to rise to the occasion and capitalize on their advantages to secure the win.

🏀The Purdue Boilermakers are 10-0 ATS as a rested favorite vs teams who scored 80+ points in their last game. Purdue has won ALL 10 GAMES by an average of +20.9 points per game.
❔This trend highlights that Purdue excels in these specific situations. Being a rested favorite means they have extra preparation time, and they capitalize against high-scoring opponents, likely due to their defensive adjustments and strong overall efficiency. If you see this setup, it suggests Purdue is not just likely to win but to dominate.

📊The Michigan Wolverines are 0-11 ATS as an underdog following a game in which they shot less than 49% and when the total is below 159.0 facing teams that allow less than 45% shooting. Michigan lost ALL 11 GAMES by an average of +18.2 points per game.
❔Michigan struggles as an underdog against strong defensive teams, especially when they’re coming off a cold shooting performance. This indicates that their offense can’t overcome high-level defenses when they’re already out of rhythm. Fade Michigan as an underdog in this situation, especially when facing elite defensive teams and lower-scoring game environments.

📊The Michigan Wolverines are 1-5 SU in their last 5 games coming off a game that ended in overtime.
❔Playing overtime games takes a toll on teams, both physically and mentally, and Michigan hasn’t recovered well from those situations. This record shows they’re more prone to a letdown after high-effort games.

📊Purdue are 24-0 SU following a game in which they allowed over 45.5% shooting.

The Boilermakers have been strong in Big Ten play, going 7-1 against the spread in their last eight games. Their defense has improved significantly, allowing just 61.3 points per game since January, which should help them contain Michigan’s offense.

The New York Islanders find themselves in a favorable position as they prepare to host the Philadelphia Flyers on Friday. Philadelphia is coming off a back-to-back stretch, having faced the New York Rangers on the road Thursday night. The demanding schedule hasn’t been kind to the Flyers, who have struggled in such scenarios, losing nine of their last ten night games on the second leg of a back-to-back. Fatigue and inconsistency often plague teams in these situations, and Philadelphia’s track record underscores that challenge.

While the Flyers have been competitive recently, winning five of their last six games, their performance in similar circumstances tells a different story. They’ve failed to cover the puck line in eight of their last ten games on the back end of consecutive nights, a concerning trend for a team trying to keep pace in the Metropolitan Division. Travis Konecny continues to lead the way offensively with 21 goals and 33 assists, but Philadelphia’s weaknesses in special teams, ranked 29th on the power play and 19th on the penalty kill, leave them vulnerable, particularly when fatigue sets in.

The Islanders, on the other hand, enter Friday’s matchup riding a wave of momentum. Following a solid 3-1 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday, they’ve had ample rest to prepare. Rested teams have a significant advantage late in the season, and New York has made the most of such opportunities, winning six of their last seven night games against the Flyers when coming off a home victory. Additionally, the Islanders have been dominant on Fridays, covering the puck line in seven of their last eight games on this day of the week. New York’s defense and goaltending provide another edge. Ilya Sorokin has shown flashes of brilliance, posting a .902 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average, helping the Islanders remain competitive even when their offense struggles. Bo Horvat has been a crucial contributor, recently notching two goals in the win over Columbus, while Anders Lee leads the team with 20 goals on the season. Although the Islanders sit last in the Metropolitan Division, they remain within striking distance of the second wild-card spot, just seven points off the pace.

The Islanders have also excelled in the early stages of home games, winning the first period in each of their last three matchups against the Flyers following a home win. This tendency to start strong, combined with Philadelphia’s struggles in back-to-back situations, tilts the scales in New York’s favor.

🏒Rested home favorites facing a same division team on a back-to-back are 26-1 SU since 2023. This system is on a HOT 17 wins streak.

📊The Philadelphia Flyers are 7-33 SU playing on no rest as away underdogs since 2021.

📉Flyers are 4-12 SU when their line is between +115 & +145.

The Islanders are currently favored at around -155 on the moneyline. They have been performing well lately, winning five of their last seven games, and they are coming off a victory against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Flyers, on the other hand, just suffered a heavy loss to the New York Rangers, which could impact their morale. Given the Islanders’ home advantage and their recent form, I believe they are likely to secure the win.

The Chicago Bulls are poised for a strong showing against the Golden State Warriors, building on a recent history of success in similar situations. Chicago has thrived as road underdogs, particularly when facing opponents on the second leg of a back-to-back, winning each of their last six such games. Meanwhile, Golden State has faltered in comparable circumstances, losing their last three games as home favorites against Central Division teams and struggling to cover spreads when playing with a rest disadvantage, failing to do so in seven of their last eight attempts. The Bulls enter this matchup with momentum after snapping a six-game losing streak in a commanding 112-99 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Zach LaVine led the way with an impressive 35-point performance, while Josh Giddey contributed across the board with 18 points, 10 rebounds, and 9 assists. Chicago’s offense has been a bright spot this season, ranking fifth in the league by averaging 117.1 points per game on 46.8% shooting from the field and 37.1% from beyond the arc.

Golden State, on the other hand, continues to battle inconsistency. With a 21-21 record, they find themselves sitting eleventh in the Western Conference after losing three of their last five games, including a lopsided 125-85 defeat against the Boston Celtics. In that game, Steph Curry led the Warriors with just 18 points, while Moses Moody added 13 points and 5 assists. The Warriors have struggled offensively this season, managing 110.8 points per game on 44.6% shooting overall and 36.2% from deep. Defensively, they rank tenth in the league with a 112.9 rating, but their offense has been a consistent issue.

While both teams have experienced recent struggles, the Bulls’ offensive efficiency sets them apart. Zach LaVine’s scoring ability and Chicago’s balanced attack make them well-positioned to secure a victory on the road against a Golden State squad that has struggled to find its footing.

🏀Unrested favorites coming off a loss in which they had a double digit lead at halftime are 38-62-5 ATS (38%).

Manhattan’s offense has been productive this season, averaging 75.3 points per game. However, their defense has struggled, allowing 77 points per game. This combination has resulted in high-scoring contests, with their games averaging a total of 152.3 points. On the other side, Fairfield scores an average of 68.5 points per game while conceding 72.9. While Fairfield’s games tend to be slightly lower-scoring, averaging 141.4 total points, Manhattan’s defensive vulnerabilities could create opportunities for Fairfield’s offense to thrive.

Recent performances from both teams add to the case for a high-scoring outcome. Manhattan has consistently played in high-total games, with matchups frequently surpassing the 147.5-point mark. Fairfield, though less consistent, has shown a recent trend toward increased scoring, particularly when facing teams with similar defensive inefficiencies to Manhattan.

Head-to-head matchups between these teams further bolster the argument for a high total. Last season, their January matchup ended with a total of 157 points, while their February meeting produced 145 points. These precedents highlight a pattern of offensive success when these teams face each other, driven by fast-paced play and defensive lapses on both sides.

With Manhattan’s high-scoring offense, leaky defense, and Fairfield’s ability to capitalize on defensive weaknesses, all signs point toward a game that will likely exceed the 146.5 total points line. Bettors assessing the over/under should consider these dynamics, as the conditions are favorable for a high-scoring contest.

🏀Fairfield are 12-0 to the OVER when their spread is more than -4.0 following a loss as a favorite in which they attempted more field goals than their opponent.
This shows that after tough losses, Fairfield tends to play with a faster pace and a more aggressive offensive style, leading to higher-scoring games.

📊Manhattan are 9-0 to the OVER following an ATS win, in a game where they had multiple days of rest. They covered the over by an average of +18.4 points per game in those situations.

📊Manhattan are 7-0 to the OVER this season when they are facing a team with multiple days of rest and coming off a game in which they shot less than 50% from the field. They covered the over by an average of +18.8 points per game in those situations.
This could be attributed to their ability to adjust and exploit defensive lapses after rest.

Both teams have shown the ability to score, with Manhattan averaging 75.3 points per game, which is the best in the MAAC. Fairfield has also been able to score, averaging 68.5 points per game. Given the offensive capabilities of both teams, betting on the total points to go over seems like a solid option.

Karel Vejmelka is set to return to the crease for Utah on Thursday night as they head to the Xcel Energy Center for a matchup against the Minnesota Wild. Vejmelka has struggled in his last two starts, allowing nine goals on 51 shots for an underwhelming .824 save percentage, leaving him with a 2.54 goals-against average and .910 save percentage across 28 appearances this season. Utah, sitting at 20-19-7, comes into the contest as road underdogs, facing a Minnesota squad that will welcome back two key pieces, Kirill Kaprizov and Jared Spurgeon, both returning from multi-game injury absences.

This marks Utah’s first road game since January 4, following a lengthy homestand where consistency proved elusive. Although they managed an impressive 5-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday, stringing together back-to-back wins has been an ongoing challenge. With top defenseman Mikhail Sergachev questionable after missing multiple games, Utah’s defensive depth faces another test as they embark on a back-to-back set. Clayton Keller remains the offensive catalyst, continuing to drive Utah’s attack with speed and playmaking, but the team’s defensive vulnerabilities and inconsistency against stronger opponents remain concerns.

Minnesota, on the other hand, has been thriving as favorites in recent weeks, winning eight of their last nine matchups against Western Conference teams. Their 28-15-4 record is a testament to their resilience, even during Kaprizov’s absence. Matt Boldy has been instrumental in keeping the offense productive, stepping up alongside Mats Zuccarello and Marco Rossi. The Wild also boast a strong home-ice advantage and have been efficient in shutting down opposing offenses with disciplined defensive play and solid goaltending.

With Kaprizov, Minnesota’s leading scorer and a former Hart Trophy contender, rejoining the lineup alongside their captain and top defenseman Spurgeon, the Wild are poised to elevate their game further. Their ability to control the neutral zone and limit Utah’s chances, particularly from Keller, could be the deciding factor. Utah’s road form and defensive gaps present an uphill battle against a Wild team that has been profitable in their favorite role and efficient in closing out games.

Although Utah has the potential to make this competitive, the Wild’s combination of defensive structure, home-ice advantage, and the return of key players tilts the balance in their favor.

🏒Home favorites of -130 or less are 33-3 SU (92%) this season when playing a divisional opponent that scores less goals than the league average and the total is set at exactly 6.0

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have put together an extraordinary season, finishing with a 14-1 record while compiling an even more impressive 13-2 mark against the spread. They’ve covered 11 consecutive games, including all three playoff matchups, showcasing their ability to outperform expectations on the biggest stages. Meanwhile, the Ohio State Buckeyes stand at 13-2 with a 9-6 ATS record, though their recent form has been transformative. Following their November 30th loss to Michigan, Ohio State has elevated its play, delivering three dominant playoff performances that justified their role as substantial favorites in this championship matchup. The game’s defining battle will pit Ohio State’s top-ranked defense, which allows just 251 yards per game, against Notre Dame’s potent ground attack, averaging 5.8 yards per carry. Ohio State also boasts the best scoring defense in the nation, surrendering only 12.2 points per game, while Notre Dame ranks just behind them, allowing 14.3. This clash of elite units will set the tone, though the Buckeyes’ defense has been particularly imposing during the postseason, racking up 16 sacks across their three playoff victories. Ohio State’s quarterback Will Howard and star receiver Jeremiah Smith have been especially lethal against man-to-man coverage this season. Howard has thrown nine touchdowns without an interception against man defenses, which spells trouble for a Notre Dame unit that employs man coverage on 57% of its snaps, more than any other team in the country. On the other side of the ball, the Irish will face a daunting challenge with their injury-depleted offensive line. Left tackle Anthonie Knapp is sidelined, and right guard Rocco Spindler is playing through an ankle issue, leaving Notre Dame’s offense vulnerable against Ohio State’s aggressive defensive front and versatile linebackers.

Despite Notre Dame’s success this season, including their impressive streak of ATS covers, their playoff opponents have exposed a favorable path. Wins over Indiana, Georgia, and Penn State came against teams with glaring weaknesses, from Indiana’s inexperience to Georgia’s backup quarterback and Penn State’s lack of receiving threats. Ohio State, in contrast, has encountered and defeated tougher competition, shaking off any residual doubts following their loss to Michigan. Their postseason dominance has reaffirmed why they’re considered the most talented team in the nation.

While Notre Dame’s resilience has been admirable, this matchup appears to be a step too far. The Buckeyes have answered every challenge during the playoffs, and their talent, depth, and momentum should carry them to a decisive victory. It’s difficult to envision a scenario where the Irish keep it close beyond the third quarter. Ohio State’s quest for a third National Championship of the 2000s seems well within reach, with a multiple-score win likely to cement their place atop college football.

The Los Angeles Clippers are finding their stride at the right time, coming off wins against the Trail Blazers and Lakers and now gearing up for matchups against the Celtics, Wizards, and Bucks. This team has been efficient on both ends of the court, averaging 109.7 points per game on 47 percent shooting while holding opponents to 106.5 points on 45.4 percent shooting. Norman Powell has been a key offensive weapon, putting up 23.7 points per game, while James Harden is contributing 21.4 points and 5.8 rebounds. Ivica Zubac has provided consistent support as the third double-digit scorer, and the Clippers are also shooting a solid 36.5 percent from beyond the arc and converting 78.2 percent of their free throws. Defensively, they’ve been strong, allowing just 34 percent shooting from deep while pulling down 44.2 rebounds per contest.

Recent trends favor the Clippers in this matchup. They’ve dominated Central Division opponents with losing records, winning 21 of their last 22 such games. Meanwhile, the Bulls are struggling, dropping their last five games, including embarrassing losses as favorites against weaker teams like the Trail Blazers, Hornets, and Pelicans. The Bulls have also failed to cover the spread in seven of their last eight games against Western Conference opponents following a loss.

The Clippers are in a rhythm, covering the spread in each of their last eight games as home favorites. They’ll have the added advantage of playing at home without the travel fatigue their opponent is dealing with on the second leg of a back-to-back. On the other hand, Chicago has been dismal, ranking last in the league in opponent field goal attempts per game (95.5) and struggling offensively with a turnover percentage of 14.6, which ranks 29th in the NBA.

Despite missing Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers have shown resilience, notching four straight wins and covers. They are clicking at the right time, while the Bulls are sliding further into mediocrity. With momentum, home-court advantage, and a superior matchup on both ends of the floor, the Clippers are poised to take care of business against a team heading in the wrong direction.

The Jets have been on a roll as road favorites, showcasing their ability to perform consistently against Central Division opponents. Utah, meanwhile, has struggled to maintain momentum, particularly at the Delta Center, where they’ve faltered in seven of their last eight games following a win. Despite a recent victory over the Blues, Utah’s inconsistent play at home this season has been a glaring issue. Their inability to cover the puck line in four straight home games following a win underscores a pattern of underwhelming performances when expectations rise.

On the other hand, the Jets bring a decisive edge into this matchup. The last meeting between these two teams, a dominant 3-0 Winnipeg shutout back in early November, set the tone for what to expect. With the standings reinforcing Winnipeg’s position as a favorite, the road team appears poised to take care of business once again. Adding to their advantage is the stellar play of Connor Hellebuyck, who has been nothing short of exceptional this season, posting a 1.97 GAA and a .929 save percentage alongside 28 wins. Hellebuyck’s consistency in net provides a rock-solid foundation for Winnipeg’s success. Offensively, the Jets boast firepower that few teams can match. Kyle Connor, with 60 points on the season, and Mark Scheifele, leading the team with 27 goals, form a formidable duo. Winnipeg’s power play is a lethal weapon, converting at an elite 32.1% rate, complementing an overall offensive output of 3.51 goals per game, one of the best in the league. Even with injuries to key players like Josh Morrissey, Winnipeg’s depth continues to shine, allowing them to maintain a high level of play on both ends of the ice.

Utah’s struggles, particularly on offense, paint a stark contrast. With just 2.82 goals per game and an inconsistent supporting cast behind Clayton Keller, their scoring options are limited. The team’s 21.3% power play conversion rate further highlights the gap in offensive efficiency between these two teams. While Karel Vejmelka has been reliable in net with a 2.54 GAA and a .910 save percentage, the lack of consistent defensive support and the challenges of a backup goaltender like Connor Ingram put additional pressure on their efforts. Injuries to key contributors such as Dylan Guenther and Robert Bortuzzo only exacerbate their issues.

This matchup is one where the disparity in quality is evident. The Jets’ combination of offensive firepower, elite goaltending, and special teams proficiency should prove too much for Utah to handle. Winnipeg is well-positioned to control possession, capitalize on opportunities, and exploit the defensive vulnerabilities of their opponent. With their current form and the momentum they carry, Winnipeg appears primed for another strong performance on the road.
