CHARLOTTE @ HOUSTON | 3/11 | 8:00 PM EDT
12:23 PM
The Rockets are on a back-to-back, but the Hornets could be without a few key players. Charlotte is 2-8 straight-up since the All-Star Break while the Rockets are playing with urgency to secure the best possible playoff seeding in the West. Lay it.

SACRAMENTO +2
SACRAMENTO @ WASHINGTON | 3/11 | 7:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:30 PM
The Kings are 10-3 versus sub-.500 teams this calendar year, and they're 16-5 ATS in their last 21 against losing teams. They're also coming off a game in which they shot 38 percent yet still won. Expect much better shooting Monday against a Wizards team that's tied for 27th in defensive efficiency and is playing its third game in four nights. Grab the points with the surprising Kings.

OHIO @ N. ILLINOIS | 3/11 | 9:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 10:03 PM
This is a first-round MAC Tournament game as Northern Illinois tries to beat Ohio for the third time this season. The Huskies won their home meeting 71-60 on Jan. 29, and I'm projecting something similar Monday night. In my simulations, the Huskies are covering about two-thirds of the time. Back Northern Illinois to win for the fourth time in five games, and lay the points.
2-1 IN LAST 3 CBB ATS PICKS | +89
WASHINGTON -2
SACRAMENTO @ WASHINGTON | 3/11 | 7:00 PM EDT
YESTERDAY 9:49 PM
The Kings are sliding, and they've failed to cover five straight visits to Washington. On Monday, they visit a desperate Wizards team coming off two excruciating road losses. I'm projecting a solid Washington win and recommend laying the small number.

DETROIT +2
DETROIT @ BROOKLYN | 3/11 | 7:30 PM EDT
10:16 AM
The Pistons are finally figuring out how to get it done with Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond and the emergence of Reggie Jackson. They've won eight of nine and covered in 11 of the last 14, and their personnel matches up well with a Nets team that doesn't have the bodies down low. As long as Detroit's perimeter can keep the Russell-Dinwiddie combo from driving to the hoop with regularity (Drummond will be there waiting anyway), the red-hot Pistons can escape Brooklyn with a win.

WASHINGTON -1.5
SACRAMENTO @ WASHINGTON | 3/11 | 7:00 PM EDT
10:11 AM
The Kings have been a more-reliable backer all season, but that's in large part to the Wizards' road ineptness. At home, they're solid, and they've generally been playing better lately, covering four in a row. Washington's backcourt length needs to slow down Sacramento's solid guard combo. The Kings have been great on the road lately, but that bucks a trend. I'll take the home team laying the small number.

The Wizards are simply awful on the road, but they are a much better team at home with a 19-11 mark ATS. The Kings are starting to falter down the stretch, losing four of their last six games. Their only two wins during that stretch both came over the tanking Knicks. I’ll take the Wizards to cover this small line.
42-25-3 IN LAST 70 NBA ATS PICKS | +1430
5-3 IN LAST 8 WAS ATS PICKS | +168
L.A. CLIPPERS +2
BOSTON @ L.A. CLIPPERS | 3/11 | 10:30 PM EDT
9:50 AM
The Clippers have not only stayed afloat since they traded away Tobias Harris, they’ve thrived. They’ve won seven of their last 10 games, covering the spread eight times during that stretch. The last time these two teams met in Boston, the Clippers won by 11. With their record of 18-13 ATS at home, I’ll take the Clippers and the points.
42-25-3 IN LAST 70 NBA ATS PICKS | +1430
3-2 IN LAST 5 LAC ATS PICKS | +78
DETROIT +2
DETROIT @ BROOKLYN | 3/11 | 7:30 PM EDT
9:42 AM
The Nets are on a three-game winning streak, but those victories came against the Mavericks, Cavaliers and Hawks. Tonight's game will be an entirely different story facing a Pistons team that has won eight of its last nine games. With the way Detroit is playing right now, I’ll take the Pistons and the points.
42-25-3 IN LAST 70 NBA ATS PICKS | +1430
4-1 IN LAST 5 DET ATS PICKS | +288
5-2 IN LAST 7 BKN ATS PICKS | +277

Ohio went from being one of the most undervalued teams to one of the most overvalued teams. The Bobcats, in the midst of covering five games in a row, are on the road at Northern Illinois. Northern Illinois has proven its dominance over Ohio, though, with two wins this season. This line is thin, given the series history. Look for Ohio to drop to 3-16 ATS in the Bobcats' last 19 road games.
14-10 IN LAST 24 CBB PICKS | +279
OVER 139 MONMOUTH VS IONA | 3/11 | 9:00 PM EDT
12:29 PM
This total is very low considering how fast-paced they have played each other this season. These teams have destroyed their totals in both games this season by a large amount. The average final produced 175.5 points. Vegas set their previous two matchups at 152.5 and 148 respectively. They should have no trouble getting to the 150 mark.

Detroit vs. Brooklyn, 03/11/2019 19:30 EDT,
Point Spread: +2/-105 Detroit
Sportsbook: PinnacleSports
Detroit at Brooklyn 7:35 ET
Pistons (+) over Nets- After inconsistent performances of late Detroit and Brooklyn have have put together wins for their stretch run looking to secure a playoff spot. The Pistons have turned it on and have four four straight and eight of their last nine while the Nets have won their last three after three straight losses. Although Detroit is just 5-12 ATS in the 17 meetings the combo of Griffin and Drummond have helped Detroit turn the corner. Take the PISTONS!

Maple Leafs over Lightening- A pair of the league's top teams clash in Toronto where the surprising Maple Leafs host high-scoring Tampa Bay. Both clubs are off of wins Saturday after losing their previous games. The Lightning are 39-18 in their last 57 road games and 40-11 SU in their last 51 games overall. But is head-to-head the favorite is 5-1 in the last six meetings and the home team is 4-1 in the last five. Take TORONTO!
