*CBB(1.5u): Georgia/Mississippi State OVER 143(-110)–6 PM CT
For as good as Georgia was at football this season, their basketball team(5-10) is the laughing stock of the SEC this year. Through 2 conference games, they have allowed 86.5 PPG. Mississippi State’s offense is ranked in the top 30 by KenPom, is averaging 75 PPG this season, and are pretty efficient in virtually every area on that end of the floor. However, the Bulldogs have underperformed defensively as well, allowing 82 to a subpar Ole Miss offense in their last game. Georgia has started to push the pace in conference play, which has led to a 79 point performance against Texas A&M and a 77 point output against Kentucky. This total is far too low and neglects how Georgia is going to approach this game; I like the OVER as my best bet for tonight.
*NBA(1u): Mavericks/Knicks 1H UNDER 105(-110)–6:40 PM CT
The Mavs and the Knicks run at the 2 slowest paces in the NBA, and neither team seems eager to push the pace. In fact, over their last 3 games, the Knicks have run less than 94 possessions per game, by far the lowest mark in the NBA. Dallas has a top 5 defense in the NBA and will face off with a Knicks offense that is still working through trying to find the right mix of personnel. Luka Doncic can obviously take over a game at will, but he will be without a key presence down low in Kristaps Porzingis. Throw in the fact that this game is nationally televised on ESPN, I think each of these teams will continue to play extremely hard defensively. This is a “first to 100 wins” type of game, but in order to avoid Overtime ruining this bet, I’ll play the 1H UNDER here.
