The Trail Blazers’ struggles at home continue to be a reliable trend, and their matchup against the surging Bucks offers another opportunity to capitalize. Milwaukee may be on the second leg of a back-to-back, but they’ve been hitting their stride recently. Early in the season, the Bucks had their share of inconsistent performances on no rest, yet their last two back-to-backs resulted in emphatic wins by 29 points against Orlando and 11 against Washington. They’ve now covered in six of their last seven games, with all those victories coming by at least 14 points.

The Bucks dropped their previous meeting with the Blazers, a surprising 105-102 loss at home just a few weeks ago, where poor shooting and offensive stagnation were major factors. Expect a more focused effort this time around, especially with Milwaukee rounding into form. Over their last 15 games, the Bucks rank third in net rating (+7.4) and lead the league in defensive field goal percentage. In contrast, the Trail Blazers rank 25th in net rating (-4.5) during that same stretch and continue to struggle offensively, sitting 24th in effective field goal percentage.

While Portland has been more competitive lately, winning four of their last five and covering in all those contests, their success has largely come on the road. At home, the struggles persist—they’ve dropped six of their last seven in Portland, with every loss coming by double digits. Meanwhile, the Bucks have dominated this kind of spot, winning their last 10 games as favorites against Northwest Division teams following a win. Similarly, Portland has faltered after poor home performances, losing seven of their last eight following a home defeat.

The Bucks have also shown consistency as favorites, covering the spread in each of their last eight games. On the other hand, the Trail Blazers have failed to cover in their last four home games against Eastern Conference teams with winning records. With Khris Middleton healthy and contributing, Milwaukee’s offensive efficiency is on the rise, and Damian Lillard is poised to deliver a statement after a quiet showing in the previous meeting.

Portland’s youth and inconsistency, compounded by injuries, make them difficult to trust in this spot. Milwaukee, by comparison, has the talent, depth, and recent form to take control. Expect the Bucks to leverage their defensive strength and offensive momentum to secure a comfortable road win.

🏀The Portland Trailblazers are 0-9 ATS as underdogs of less than 13.5 points when they covered the spread in 4 or more consecutive games.
❓This trend likely highlights a “regression to the mean” effect. After overperforming expectations in multiple games, sportsbooks adjust by tightening the lines, but the team may struggle to maintain their high level of play, especially when matched against stronger competition where they’re still perceived as somewhat competitive.

📊Teams coached by Chauncey Billups at home facing a team that never gave up the lead in their previous games are 3-15 ATS in their next game.
❓Teams that never trailed in their previous game are often riding high on momentum and confidence, making them tough opponents. Billups’ teams might struggle in such matchups due to limited adjustments, talent gaps, or difficulty dealing with high-performing, in-form opponents. The line might also fail to account for the strength of the momentum carried by these dominant teams.

🖥️Score prediction: 119-111 Milwaukee Bucks

🤖jaXon AI approved⬇️
The Bucks have been on a roll, winning six of their last seven games, including a recent victory over the Utah Jazz (125-110). They rank 4th in the Eastern Conference and have shown strong offensive and defensive metrics, particularly in their last 10 games where they are 4th in net rating and 6th in offensive rating. The Trail Blazers, while they had a four-game win streak, recently lost to the Oklahoma City Thunder and have struggled defensively, ranking 24th in net rating over their last 10 games. The Bucks have a solid chance to cover given their recent form and the Blazers’ inconsistency.

The VCU Rams are riding a wave of momentum as they prepare for an Atlantic 10 clash at Chaifetz Arena against the Saint Louis Billikens. VCU has been firing on all cylinders during their current six-game winning streak, displaying offensive versatility and defensive tenacity that has consistently overwhelmed opponents. Their recent triumph over St. Bonaventure, a 75-61 victory, showcased the team’s ability to recover from a slow start and dominate with efficient scoring and relentless pressure. The Rams shot 44.8% from the field and forced 16 turnovers, converting them into 17 points, a hallmark of their aggressive defensive identity.

When these two teams last met on January 14, the Rams put together a convincing 78-62 win at home. While VCU’s shooting percentage wasn’t spectacular at 41.7%, their dominance on the boards and ability to force mistakes proved decisive. Out-rebounding Saint Louis 38-26 and scoring 27 points off 19 Billikens turnovers, the Rams imposed their will on both ends of the court. However, heading into this rematch, they’ll need to refine their offensive efficiency, particularly with their shooting, as they cannot solely rely on Saint Louis’ mistakes to secure another victory.

The Billikens, meanwhile, face significant challenges in overcoming the Rams’ suffocating defensive style. Saint Louis’ offense, which thrives on converting close-range opportunities, has been undermined by inconsistent execution and a tendency to turn the ball over, flaws that VCU exploited in their previous matchup. In that contest, Saint Louis managed just 17 made field goals and relied heavily on free throws for scoring, a formula that failed to keep pace with VCU’s high-pressure approach. The Billikens will need to find answers to counteract VCU’s defensive schemes while cutting down on turnovers if they hope to compete.

What stands out heading into this game is VCU’s consistency. The Rams have not only won their last six games but have done so with margins of at least six points in each victory. Their offensive depth, led by guard Joe Bamisile’s 16.8 points per game and forward Jack Clark’s dominance on the boards, gives them the firepower to dictate the tempo. On defense, the Rams are a force to be reckoned with, allowing just 62.5 points per game and forcing nearly nine steals per contest. This defensive intensity, combined with their ability to stifle opponents’ shooting and create second-chance opportunities, has been a recipe for success throughout the season.

Saint Louis enters the game on shakier ground. Despite strong performances from key contributors like Robbie Avila, who averages 18.1 points per game, and Kalu Anya, a force on the boards with 9.4 rebounds per game, the Billikens have struggled to maintain consistency. Their inability to protect the ball against VCU’s aggressive defense looms as a significant obstacle. While playing at home offers some advantage, the Billikens will need a near-flawless performance to keep the Rams within reach.

Ultimately, this matchup seems to favor VCU’s balance and momentum. The Rams’ ability to capitalize on turnovers and maintain defensive pressure should allow them to control the game, just as they did in their previous meeting. With their recent form and proven dominance, VCU looks poised to extend their win streak with another commanding performance.

🏀The VCU Rams are 14-0 ATS as a favorite, following a game in which they shot less than 46.2% from the field as a favorite. They won those games by an average of +15.9 points per game.
❓Teams like VCU, known for their strong defense and high energy, tend to respond to bad performances with extra focus and effort. Poor shooting games often highlight their need to execute better offensively, leading to a sharper performance next time. As favorites, they’re also facing opponents they’re expected to dominate, making a “bounce-back” win even more likely.

📊The Saint Louis Billikens are 0-7 ATS as an underdog of less than +9.5 when the total is below 161.5
❓Low-total games typically involve strong defensive matchups or slower paces, making it harder for underdogs to “hang around” if they struggle to score. Saint Louis may lack the offensive firepower or the discipline needed to stay competitive against better teams in these specific spots.

📊The Saint Louis Billikens are 0-13 ATS as an underdog in revenge games. They lost these games by an average of -14.9 points per game.
❓Revenge spots often favor the better, more motivated team in the rematch. If Saint Louis is consistently the weaker team and cannot match up strategically or athletically, their struggles carry over to these rematches. The large average loss margin also suggests psychological or matchup disadvantages in these situations.

📊VCU are 6-0 ATS (6-0 SU) in their last 6 meeting with Saint Louis. VCU are outscoring Saint Louis 83.3-69.7 in these games. VCU has won all of these games by 6 points or more. The Rams have scored 78+ points in the last 5 meetings.

The Houston Rockets are set to face the Boston Celtics at TD Garden on Monday night. The Rockets have been in impressive form, winning eight of their last ten games, including a recent 135-131 road victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers. In that game, Jalen Green and Alperen Şengün each scored 26 points, while Amen Thompson achieved a triple-double with 23 points, 14 rebounds, and 10 assists. The team shot 54% from the field and 46% from the three-point line, overcoming a squandered 19-point lead with a decisive 10-2 run late in the fourth quarter.

On the other hand, the Boston Celtics have won five of their last eight games and are coming off a 122-107 road win against the Dallas Mavericks. Jayson Tatum led with 24 points, Derrick White added 23 points and four assists, and Jaylen Brown contributed 22 points, eight rebounds, and six assists. The Celtics shot 42% from the field and made 20 of 52 three-point attempts, taking control with a 34-20 second-quarter performance and extending their lead with a 37-point third quarter. Historically, the Celtics have dominated this matchup, winning 27 of their last 30 games against Southwest Division opponents and covering the spread in seven of their last eight games against the Rockets at TD Garden. However, the Rockets have shown resilience, winning each of their last seven night games on the first leg of a back-to-back and covering the spread in eight of their last nine road games against Eastern Conference opponents following a win.

Key players to watch include Derrick White, who ranks 13th in the league for three-pointers made per game (3.3) this season, and Jaylen Brown, who ranks 23rd for points per game (23.0). For the Rockets, Jalen Green is seventh in the league for fast break points (176), and Amen Thompson ranks third among qualified guards for rebounds per game (8.1).

In terms of team statistics, the Celtics lead the league in three-point field goal attempts per game (49.0) and have made the playoffs in 10 consecutive seasons, the longest active streak in the NBA. The Rockets rank first in opponent free throw percentage (74.0%) and field goal attempts per game (93.6).

Injury reports indicate that the Rockets are monitoring Cam Whitmore, who is questionable due to illness, while the Celtics have listed Al Horford and Derrick White as questionable. Given both teams’ potential absences, the Rockets’ recent performance, including their win over the Cavaliers, suggests they could keep the game competitive. While the Celtics are favored at home, the Rockets’ momentum may allow them to cover the spread in what is expected to be a close contest.

Boston is logically a clear favorite for this game. But with Houston’s recent form, it is a good bet to cover even in one of the toughest places to visit in all of pro basketball. The Rockets are 26-18 against the spread this season and have covered in five of their last six road games. Boston has gone 1-3 ATS in its last four home games and is 6-24-1 ATS after a win.

The Rockets will look to make their strength around the net count. They score 50.6 points in the paint per game to Boston’s 42.0. Houston also leads the NBA with 14.7 offensive boards per game against the Celtics’ 11.2. The Rockets will have the chance to execute their formidable 3-point defense against the best shooters from deep in the NBA: they restrict teams to 12.5 3PM/G, the third-best mark in the league.

🏀Teams playing vs the Boston Celtics after they won and covered the spread are 15-1-1 ATS in 2024.

📊The Celtics are 3-11 ATS this season at home off a 25+ assists game.
Celtics are 7-7 SU in these games – all as favorites. Boston are 1-4 SU, 1-4 ATS in the last 5 in this spot. Boston are 0-5 ATS in this spot when less than double-digit favorites.

📊The Celtics are 2-17 ATS in their last 19 games coming off a 10+ points win.
Celtics are 2-5 SU in their last 7 in this spot as favorites. Boston has failed to cover in 13 straight in this spot as 6+ points favorites.

📊The Houston Rockets are 9-0 ATS vs rested teams coming off a game in which they allowed between 14 & 19 threes.
❓This suggests that Houston thrives against teams whose defensive weaknesses (allowing many threes) were recently exposed. The Rockets’ game plan may exploit that vulnerability, especially if the opposing team hasn’t had time to adjust despite being rested.

📊The Boston Celtics are 0-19 ATS in games with totals above 210.5 coming of an ATS win in which they shot over 70.5% from the free throw line.
❓High-scoring games with efficient free-throw shooting might overinflate public perception of Boston, leading to inflated spreads. As a result, the Celtics struggle to meet heightened expectations in such scenarios.

📊The Boston Celtics are 0-15 ATS as a favorite of more than 2.5 points when they are coming of an ATS win in which they scored less points than expected.
❓When Boston wins but underperforms offensively relative to expectations, they may not fully address their offensive issues in the next game. Oddsmakers might still price them aggressively as favorites, leading to ATS struggles.

They are currently 15-6 on the road and have shown they can compete against top teams. The Celtics, while strong, have struggled to cover the spread at home, going just 8-15 when favored. Given the Rockets’ recent form and the spread, I believe they can keep this game close.

The Memphis Grizzlies find themselves in a favorable position entering this matchup, bringing both momentum and a distinct edge on both sides of the ball. Memphis has been dominant in recent games, riding a six-game winning streak during which they’ve averaged an impressive 128.3 points per contest. This offensive surge is backed by their strong road presence, where they’ve posted a 14-8 record against the spread this season, translating to a 63.6% cover rate.

Both teams boast high-powered offenses, but it’s the defensive disparity that sets Memphis apart. The Grizzlies rank fifth in the NBA in defensive efficiency, allowing just 107.1 points per 100 possessions, while the Knicks sit 19th in the same category, surrendering 111.4 points. Over the last 15 games, Memphis ranks third in offensive rating, further highlighting their recent dominance, while New York struggles defensively, sitting at 21st in defensive rating over the same span.

Historical trends also point favorably toward Memphis. The Grizzlies have been nearly automatic in night games against Eastern Conference opponents, covering the spread in 10 straight such contests while also winning all 10 outright. Conversely, the Knicks have faltered in similar spots, losing 10 of their last 11 night games against Southwest Division teams with winning records and failing to cover the spread in six straight games in that scenario. New York has been inconsistent against top-tier competition this season, going just 2-7 against the spread in nine games versus top-10 teams, with six of those losses coming by double digits.

Memphis also excels in key offensive categories, leading the league in both free throw attempts per game (24.2) and field goals made per game (45.3). Their ability to generate points efficiently, combined with their defensive strength, provides a significant edge in this matchup. On the other side, New York leans heavily on its starters, a risky proposition as the season drags on and fatigue becomes a factor. The Knicks are coming off a high-scoring win against Sacramento, but maintaining that level of output against a top-tier defense like Memphis is a tall order.

The Grizzlies’ consistency against Eastern Conference opponents, their road success, and their well-rounded performance on both ends of the floor make them a strong play in this game. They’ve covered eight of their last ten overall, four straight on the road, and are 14-3 against the spread versus the East this season, including 5-1 in road games. All signs point to Memphis having the tools to secure a win in this matchup.

🏀The Memphis Grizzlies are 11-0 ATS in their last 11 games vs Eastern Conference opponents. Grizzlies are outscoring opponents 133.7-117.1 in these games. They have won 9 of these games by 11+ points, 4 by 20+ points. They also won 5 straight in this spot by 12+ points.

📊The Memphis Grizzlies are 70-17-3 ATS when their spread is between -9.5 & +8.0, their shooting% is above 44% playing an opponent they previously lost to and the total is above 204.5
❓Grizzlies excel in balanced matchups, combining efficient shooting, added motivation from a previous loss, and an offensive edge in high-scoring games to consistently cover the spread.

🕢7:30 PM EST

📈Memphis won their last 6 games outright.

📈Memphis are 7-1 ATS in their last 8 games.

📉New York are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games against an opponent in the Southwest Division division.

The Grizzlies are on a six-game winning streak and have covered the spread in five of their last six games. They have shown resilience and depth, even with injuries affecting key players.

Both teams enter this matchup having faced their share of challenges in Big Ten play, but Ohio State appears to be in a better position to capitalize on this opportunity.

Ohio State has shown remarkable consistency in Monday night games, winning each of their last 18 such contests. Meanwhile, Iowa has struggled under the spotlight, dropping eight of their last nine road night games within the Big Ten. The Buckeyes have also displayed dominance at home, winning the first half in 23 of their last 24 games at Value City Arena against non-AP-ranked opponents. This trend underscores the Buckeyes’ ability to set the tone early, particularly against teams outside the national rankings. Defensively, Ohio State ranks among the nation’s elite in key categories. They allow just 4.3 steals per game, the fewest in Division I, and limit opponents to a 29.2% success rate from beyond the arc, ranking 25th nationally. Iowa, on the other hand, enters as the worst defensive team in the Big Ten, surrendering an average of 85.2 points per game. Despite their offensive prowess, scoring 86.8 points per game (4th in NCAA) on 50.5% shooting (3rd in NCAA), the Hawkeyes’ defensive struggles have been glaring, as evidenced by their 107.8 defensive rating. Ohio State’s recent performances in Big Ten play demonstrate their competitiveness, with four of their five losses coming by seven points or fewer. Led by standout guard Bruce Thornton, the Buckeyes are a few possessions away from positioning themselves as a top-five team in the conference. In contrast, Iowa’s road woes have been a recurring theme, as they remain winless in away games this season. Although the Hawkeyes snapped a three-game losing streak with a narrow 76-75 victory over Penn State, their inability to string together defensive stops continues to be a liability. Additionally, their struggles at the free-throw line, where they shoot just 68.5%, could further hinder their chances in a tight contest. Ohio State comes into this game with momentum after a gritty 73-70 victory over Purdue. Micah Parrish led the way with 22 points and seven rebounds, while Devin Royal chipped in with 16 points. The Buckeyes have been solid offensively, averaging 79.7 points per game on 48.2% shooting from the field and 37.7% from three-point range. Their balanced approach on both ends of the floor sets them apart in this matchup, particularly against an Iowa team that leans heavily on offensive output to mask its defensive deficiencies.

This clash presents a contrast in styles, with Iowa relying on its high-powered offense and Ohio State leveraging its superior defense. However, the Buckeyes’ ability to contain opponents and capitalize on the Hawkeyes’ defensive vulnerabilities gives them a decisive edge. Expect Ohio State to take control of this game at home and extend Iowa’s road struggles while covering the spread en route to a convincing victory.

🏀The Iowa Hawkeyes are 0-11 ATS as an underdog of fewer than +9.5. Iowa is losing these games by an average of -15.3 points per game.
❓This suggests that when the market views Iowa as competitive but still an underdog, they often underperform, possibly due to mismatches against stronger teams or an overestimation of their abilities in tight matchups.

📊The Ohio State Buckeyes are 9-0 ATS vs teams that allow a shooting% over 44%, when they are coming off a game in which they shot over 35% from three. The Buckeyes won ALL 9 games by an average of +18.7 points per game.
❓This trend indicates they thrive against weaker defensive teams after gaining confidence offensively. Consistent offensive momentum and weak opposing defenses combine to create a significant edge for Ohio State.

📊The Ohio State Buckeyes are 9-0 ATS as a favorite with less than 8 days of rest following an ATS win of +8 points.
❓This trend shows they excel at maintaining form and energy in quick turnarounds following strong performances. This reflects their ability to sustain momentum, avoid letdowns, and capitalize on favorable matchups during shorter rest periods.

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 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.

📈Manhattan are 4-1 to the OVER vs teams averaging 67.0 to 72.0 points per game.

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
