Once a week to show our appreciation we’re going to do a 4 pack of hoops for free. We’ve been on a tear with NBA totals 6-0 on write up plays and 3-0 on Twitter plays. I’ve got 2 NBA totals as well as 2 CBB plays.
We’ll start in College Park with Maryland hosting Virginia in a renewed ACC rivalry. Coaches & Fans of these programs will surely remember being Conference foes. I think that plays to Maryland’s home court advantage, but the number is not going to be big enough UVA laying 3.5 should be an easy cover. I’ve seen it time & time again with this Cavaliers team under Bennett. They just suffocate you with defense, 5 of the top 8 Terrapins are Freshman and I don’t see them holding up. This same UVA team beat up on the Wisconsin Badgers about a week ago in the Bahamas.
1st play: UVA -3.5
Moving on to the next ACC/B10 Challenge matchup, UNC visiting Michigan. Michigan looks like the real deal, 6-0 including a 27 point rout @Villanova. Michigan is much improved defensively allowing 33% shooting and only 48.6 points a game they will look to stop a well balanced Tar Heels attack with 4 guys averaging double figures. I don’t see many advantages either way and I think that’s why we see the line at 3.5. I do think the Tar Heels are a more complete team and have already stumbled, so Roy Williams will have them ready to go.
2nd Play: UNC +3.5
NBA has been busy the last week and there’s been a lot of back to backs. The Knicks have been the busiest team and will play their 6th game in 8 days tonight in Philly. Knicks haven’t shown much efficiency overall this year offensively or defensively (22nd, 26th) even worse in true shooting and effective FG (29th,30th). I think a pretty rested Sixers team will take full advantage and shut the Knicks down early & often. I’m leaning a Philly cover but Love the under.
3rd play: Knicks/Sixers under 228.5
Another game of similar tune. Chicago heading to Milwaukee, Bucks have pretty much been at home the last two weeks and will have their legs under them. Milwaukee has stake their claim as a top Eastern conference contender. Giannis is the best player on the court most night and that won’t be different tonight, I think the Bucks win convincingly but 14 is kind of high for me. 228 is a touch too high, I like Bucks to dominate a Bulls team that is hit or miss on a nightly basis.
4th play: Bulls/Bucks under 228
