3* HEAVY HITTER on SE Missouri State -5 SE Missouri State is in a prime spot to close their home stand with a big conference cover. The Redhawks are fresh off a beatdown of UT Martin where they held the league leaders to just 50 points. That defensive energy is real and it creates a massive advantage at the Show Me Center. Little Rock has been a disaster on the road this season, posting a mediocre 4-8 record away from home. The Trojans struggle with ball security and cough it up nearly 14 times per game. SEMO is much more disciplined with the rock and will capitalize on those extra possessions. We also have a clear psychological edge in this matchup. The Redhawks have taken the last two meetings in this series, including a 19-point blowout in the conference tournament. They know how to crack this Little Rock defense which allows a high eFG% to conference opponents. SEMO is shooting the ball with confidence and just needs to maintain their pace to win this going away. The Trojans don't have the defensive depth to keep up if this becomes a high-possession game. Little Rock has been idle since Saturday and that long layoff often leads to rust on the road. The Redhawks have the better backcourt and the momentum after their Tuesday night masterclass. Lay the points with the home team in a clear mismatch of current form. I like the SE Missouri State -5.5 (-106). |

3* HEAVY HITTER on North Dakota State -4 North Dakota State is currently the class of the Summit League and enters this contest with a perfect 6-0 conference record. NDSU is holding opponents to just 70 points per game this season. The Bison offense is powered by a balanced attack featuring Markhi Strickland, Damari Wheeler-Thomas, and Trevian Carson. Denver plays at a high tempo but lacks the defensive discipline to stop high-efficiency offenses. Trevian Carsons defensive pressure will be a major problem for the Denver backcourt. North Dakota State is 16-5 overall and 5-3 on the road this season. Denver is still finding its identity under a first-year head coach and lacks the depth to keep up for forty minutes. The talent gap in this matchup is significantly wider than the four points suggested by the oddsmakers. I like the North Dakota State -4. |

3* HEAVY HITTER on Montana -5 Montana is catching Weber State at the perfect time and the price is right. The Grizzlies return home after a dominant 26-point road win over Northern Arizona where they looked elite on both ends. They are firing on all cylinders offensively and just put up 98 points behind a massive performance from Te'Jon Sawyer. Weber State is trending the opposite direction after a disappointing home loss to Idaho on Saturday where their offense went cold. The Wildcats have struggled to find consistency on the road where their shooting numbers take a significant dip compared to playing in Ogden. Montanas defense is currently the top unit in the Big Sky when it comes to effective field goal percentage defense. They force teams into long possessions and contested jumpers which will frustrate a Weber State squad that relies heavily on one or two scorers. The Grizzlies have won three straight meetings against the Wildcats and covered the spread in all of them. Dahlberg Arena is one of the toughest environments in the conference and Montana has been a covering machine in Missoula. They have covered the spread in five of their last six home games and historically dominate this series on their own floor. Weber State lacks the bench depth to keep up if this game turns into a track meet in the second half. Montana has a balanced attack and multiple shooters who can exploit a Weber State transition defense that looked slow in their last outing. The Grizzlies also hold a major edge at the free-throw line where they shoot nearly 80% as a team. That efficiency is key for covering a mid-range spread when the visiting team has to foul late. I like the Montana -5 (-110) |

5* NO BRAINER of the Week on Long Beach State +3 Long Beach State is catching way too many points in a rivalry game they have already dominated in the recent past. The Beach enters tonight on a three-game winning streak and finally looks like the premier contender in the Big West. They are playing with high confidence after taking down CSUN and UC Riverside in back-to-back road and home spots. Cal State Fullerton is headed in the opposite direction, dropping two straight games while surrendering over 80 points in both contests. The Titans' defensive efficiency has fallen off a cliff lately. They are allowing 84.8 points per game this season and lack the lateral quickness to stay in front of the aggressive LBSU backcourt. Long Beach State has the clear edge in offensive flow and shot creation. They have significantly improved their shooting percentages since Dallas Washington returned to the lineup to provide a secondary scoring threat. Roster depth is a massive advantage for the visitors in this matchup. Fullerton is struggling to fill out its rotation with key contributors Timo George and Riley Parker both ruled out due to injuries. Losing that veteran depth hurts a Titans team that is already prone to scoring droughts. Long Beach State will exploit those gaps with a transition game that ranks among the fastest in the conference. Gavin Sykes is the best player on the floor and should have his way with a porous Fullerton perimeter defense. Sykes is averaging nearly 19 points per game and has the "green light" to attack early and often. The Beach also holds a significant advantage on the glass. They are much more athletic in the paint and should generate enough second-chance points to keep the Titans under constant pressure. The underdog has been the sharp side to back in this series, covering in 60% of the last ten meetings. Taking more than a possession with the hotter, healthier team is the only way to play this. I like the Long Beach State +3.5 (-112). |

4* VEGAS INSIDER on 76ers +114 The 76ers are sitting as home underdogs tonight and the market is showing them almost no respect. This line feels like a trap designed to get bettors to bite on a surging Rockets team that is overvalued on the road. Houston has put together some nice wins lately, but they are still a young group that struggles with consistency away from their home floor. Philadelphia is finally finding a rhythm and their offensive efficiency has skyrocketed over the last two weeks. The matchup in the paint is the biggest factor in this game. Philly has the size and the physical presence to negate Houston's scoring near the rim and win the battle for boards. The Rockets rely heavily on transition points to stay competitive in tough environments. The 76ers have been elite at getting back in defensive transition and forcing teams into a slow half-court grind lately. Philly ranks in the top five in defensive rebound percentage over their last six home games. They will not give the Rockets the second-chance opportunities they need to keep this game close. Houston played a physical game on the road just two nights ago and the travel is starting to catch up with them. Young teams often hit a wall during these mid-season road trips and this is a prime spot for a letdown performance. The 76ers are shooting over 38 percent from three-point range at home this month. Houston's perimeter defense has been leaky lately and they often over-rotate, leaving shooters wide open in the corners. Philadelphia has won four of the last five head-to-head meetings between these two franchises. They know how to exploit the specific defensive holes that this Houston system leaves open. Getting plus-money on a veteran team in their own building is a massive edge. The oddsmakers are putting too much weight on the Rockets' recent record and not enough on the actual personnel matchup. Philly is the more disciplined team and will execute better in the final five minutes. Trust the home dog to pull off the minor upset and cash this ticket. Bet 76ers ML (+114). |
