NBA | Bulls vs Pacers
Play on: Bulls +7½ -102 at BetOnline
My 1* Free Play is on the Chicago Bulls (7:00 EST).
Chicago has been playing better of late. The Bulls were ravaged by injury before the season even started and never had a chance at making the playoffs, but they play with revenge here and I think they can keep this one more competitive than what this spread would suggest.
Chicago actually plays with “triple revenge” here after dropping all three previous meetings with Indiana this season. The Bulls won a triple OT thriller against Atlanta, and then fell in the second game of the home and home set most recently, while the Pacers fell 117-112 at home to Orlando on Saturday.
Note that over their last ten games the Bulls have the No. 1 scoring offense though with 120.8 PPG. Lauri Markkanen is back from injury and has been averaging 25 points and 12.5 boards during the streak.
The Pacers come in having lost three of four. Note that Domantas Sabonis, who is now an important part of he rotation with Victor Oladipo gone for the season, is also out right now with a sprained ankle for Indiana.
Indiana has been decent against the spread this year and for the most part Chicago has struggled. But that was then and this is now. While I’ll stop short in calling for the outright upset, I do definitely feel that we’re in store for a war until the end. Consider Chicago in this matchup.
Good luck…Larry

NCAA-B | Western Michigan vs Toledo
Play on: Western Michigan +16½ -110 at sportsbook
1* Free NCAAB Pick on Western Michigan Broncos +16.5
Western Michigan should have no problem covering as a massive road dog against the Rockets. The Broncos kept it more than respectable in the first meeting between these two teams, losing by just 8 at home, despite Toledo shooting 52% from both the field and the 3-point line.
Big reason we are getting value with Western Michigan is they are just 2-14 SU in their last 16 games. This awful run has the books consistently inflating the line on the other side an it's resulted in the Broncos going 4-0 ATS in their last 4.
Western Michigan is 17-7 ATS last 24 after losing 5 or 6 of their last 7 and Toledo is just 13-26 ATS last 39 after winning 15 or their last 20.
Adding to all of this is a great system in play favoring the Broncos. Road underdogs of 10 to 19.5 points who are revenging a loss where they allowed 75 or more and off 2 covers where they lost straight up as an underdog are 68-32 (68%) ATS going back to 1997. Take Western Michigan!

NCAA-B | Ball State vs Eastern Michigan
Play on: Eastern Michigan -125 at pinnacle
Ball State has lost seven of their last 11 and is coming off a two point win at Western Michigan as a five point favorite. They've failed to cover in five straight and nine of their last 11. The offense, which had been very formidable, has whimpered out as of late. They've scored 70 or less in four of their last five. Eastern Michigan has won five of their last seven as they've started to finally play like we thought they would have. EMU has some veteran scorers and when the offense is clicking, then they can overcome the lack of defense. The team has home wins during this stretch against WMU, Toledo and NIU. The Eagles won at Ball State 84-82 back in January so they've proven that they can win this one. I think they do again on Tuesday.

NHL | Hurricanes vs Bruins
Play on: Bruins -139 at pinnacle
MIKE LUNDIN HURRICANES @ BRUINS FREE PICK
Two of the hottest teams in the NHL will clash Tuesday night as the Boston Bruins host the Carolina Hurricanes at TD Garden. The Canes are coming off five straight wins and have lost just one of their last nine games while Boston is 12-0-4 since a 3-2 regulation-loss to the New York Rangers on Jan. 19.
Considering that Carolina is 2-6 in its last eight games as an underdog of +110 to +150 while the Bruins are 8-2 in their last 10 games as a home favorite of -110 to -150, I think this looks like a good spot to back the home team.
We can also note that the Bruins will go with red hot netminder Jaroslav Halak in the crease; Halak made 42 saves in a 3-2 win at Carolina on Oct. 30 and owns an 0.97 GAA through his last four starts, all wins.
The Hurricanes are 2-7 in their last nine trips to Beantown and 0-1-2 in their last three. I predict another loss for the visitors tonight.
Free pick on Boston Bruins.

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Minnesota +5)
I'll take my chances with the Golden Gophers as a home dog against the Boilermakers. Purdue sits on top the Big Ten standings at 15-3 and have locked up a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament. They also come in feeling really good about themselves after destroying Illinois (73-56) and Ohio State (86-51) in their last 2 games, both at home.
However, prior to those two wins at home, they struggled on the road against both Indiana and Nebraska. They scored just 48 points in a 2-point win at Indiana as a 6-point favorite and then beat the Cornhuskers by just 3 as a 6-point favorite in Lincoln. Minnesota is better than both of those teams and Williams Arena is one of the more difficult places to play in the Big Ten. You can see how much it has helped the Gophers, as they are 13-3 at home compared to 5-8 on the road.
Boilermakers are just 3-11 ATS in their last 14 road games when they enter the contest having won 12 or more of their last 15 games. They are also 4-12 ATS last 16 road games off a conference win. Minnesota on the other hand is a dominant 9-1 ATS last 10 at home off an upset win by 10 or more as an underdog. Give me the Golden Gophers +5!

NCAA-B | Auburn vs Alabama
Play on: Alabama +2½ -109 at GTBets
Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Alabama +2.5
The Alabama Crimson Tide are squarely on the bubble of the NCAA Tournament. They are on the ‘First 4 In’ line according to Joe Lunardi. And they could really use a big win at home here tonight over Auburn to cement their place in the big dance. I think they get it.
Adding to Alabama’s motivation is the fact that it is Senior Night as this will be the final home game for their seniors. This is a veteran team led by seniors Donta Hall (11.0 PPG, 8.6 RPG) and Riley Norris (7.0 PPG, 3.5 RPG). Norris has been the heart and soul of this team for years, and players want to send him out a winner.
Auburn is just 3-6 in true road games this season with its wins coming against three of the worst teams in the SEC in Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Georgia. They lost by 27 at Kentucky, and lost at LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, NC State and Ole Miss. The Tigers are 0-6 ATS in their last six road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.
Alabama is 17-4 SU in its last 21 home meetings with Auburn and wants revenge from a road loss to the Tigers in their first meeting this season. Auburn is 2-8 ATS off two or more consecutive wins this season. The Crimson Tide are 36-13 ATS in their last 49 games off a conference home loss. Bet Alabama Tuesday.

Comp play from Norman tonight where the Noble Center is going to be quite loud and quite partisan for the home team as the Sooners continue their bid to notch another quality win and get themselves on the right side of the NCAA "bubble".
Oklahoma comes into this game with conference wins in 3 of their last 4. and since they will be closing against the top team in the conference in Kansas State on the Wildcats floor on Saturday, this is a game they simply must have.
I like Boomer Sooner's chances tonight, as Kansas has really had their struggles on the Big Twelve road this season. Bill Self's team did come back from down 5 at the half in Stillwater on Saturday to defeat the last place Cowboys, but they did not cover as the road favorite in that game. It was only the 3rd road win in 10 true road games for the Jayhawks, so you can see why I have my reservations about backing them in this spot on Tuesday. That and the fact they have failed in 6 of their last 7 away games for the year.
Kansas won the first meeting of the year between the teams, 70-63 all the way back on January 2nd, but they did not cover as the -8 1/2 point home favorites. That cover by the Sooners puts them at 5-2 against the spread the last 7 series meetings.
With the absences of Vick, De Sousa and Azubuike, this is a Kansas team that has to work hard for every success they get, and while they are still a force, they are most vulnerable when they are away from Lawrence.
Oklahoma perhaps has done enough to earn an at-large bid when the tournament draw is announced, but a win tonight would really solidify their resume.
Take OU over KU on Tuesday.
2* OKLAHOMA

Going to take the points with the Rebels this Tuesday night as they play their final home game of the season looking to snap a 2 game losing streak, and a 1-3 overall straight up slide.
Kentucky comes into Oxford off their worst loss of the year, a 71-52 shellacking in Knoxville against the Volunteers on Saturday. That loss snapped a 4 game Kentucky winning streak, but it also dropped them down to third place in the SEC standings behind the Vols and also behind LSU.
The bigger issue for Coach Calipari's team is the injury to guard Reid Travis who has missed the Wildcats last 3 games with a knee injury, as Kentucky is just 2-4 against the spread their last 6 game played. That fact has me thinking UK will not be able to distance themselves from the Rebels who could sure use a win with their recent cold spell they have been on.
Ole Miss has dropped 9 in a row in this series, and have only been able to cover one time in the past 7 series meetings, but they have been a tough matchup for teams on their home floor where they have covered in 10 of their 15 lined home games this campaign.
The Wildcats average 77.1 points per game for the year, but the Rebels are right there with them as 76.1 points per game for the season. With Travis still nursing that injured knee, and the chances of snagging the SEC regular season crown now pretty much done with, I am going to look for the Rebels to summon a gritty home court effort that will have them in this game and a possible upset bid come the closing seconds of their last home date this year.
Take the points and Ole Miss.
1* OLE MISS
Tommy Brunson
This is a tricky spot to back the Pacers as they do have rather pressing road games with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Philadelphia 76ers as their next pair of games, so laying this big number could be a bit of a problem.
Chicago is fresh off a home-and-home with Atlanta, and a few days now removed from their 4 overtime, 168-161 marathon in Atlanta last Friday. The Bulls come into this road game with wins in 5 of their last 7 games straight up and against the spread, so they are certainly not throwing in the towel even with no chance at making the postseason.
Not only that, but the Bulls have given the Pacers fits in recent meetings, as each of the first 3 meetings this season have been decided by a grand total of just 11 points. Yes, Indiana has won all 3 of those games, but Chicago has covered in all 3 of those losses, and they have also covered in 5 of the last 6 overall in this series.
Indiana comes into this game sliding a bit too, as the Pacers have lost 3 of their last 4 coming into this game, and 4 of their last 7 games overall, so again this may not be the spot to be laying this kind of wood.
Chicago is 11-3 as a dog of +6 to +8 1/2 this year.
With the Bucks and 76ers on the horizon, look for Indiana to have just enough tonight to hold off the scrappy Bulls.
Take the points.
3* CHICAGO
