Carolina at Dallas 5:00 ET

Hurricanes over Stars- Carolina has played well since the break winning four of their last five and are 8-2 in their last 10 against the Western Conference. Dallas had lost five of six and three in-a-row until the upset the red hot Blues and now should revert back to form. Although the Stars have a huge home series advantage over the Canes as they are 1-9 in their last 10 trips to Dallas. It won't matter today. Take CAROLINA!

Houston at Golden State 8:30 ET

Rockets (+) over Warriors- Now, in the NBA we have been keeping tract of a pair of amazing on going feats as James Harden has scored 30 points or more in 32 straight games but may be out tonight with a sore neck. Houston has already defeated the Warriors twice this year without a loss but are in a tough spot here. The Rockets are just 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games while Golden State is 0-5 ATS in their last five games overall. The Warriors get the money tonight. Take GOLDEN STATE!

Sacramento at Oklahoma City 8:00 ET

Kings (+) over Thunder- One of the amazing feats of the NBA season ended last night in a very unusual way. Russell Westbrook has posted 'Triple-doubles' in every game for over a month failed to make those 'magic' figures in a game that went double-overtime and his club scored 148 points and yet Westbrook fell short as he posted 'just' eight assists. The Kings are 2-1 against OKC this season but are 10-30 SU in the last forty meetings including 2-17 all-time in Oklahoma City. Look for Westbrook to get his 'triple' tonight and for the Thunder to get it done. Take OKLAHOMA CITY!

Portland at Philadelphia 1:00 ET

Trailblazers (+) over 76ers- Both clubs enter this fray having won their last two and have met once this season in Portland on December 30 as the Blazers ran the Sixers out 129-95. Joel Embiid did not play in that contest and is off of a double-double in the All-Star game but will not play tonight to rest his left knee. Philadelphia has had the overall series edge of late going 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings and are 4-0 ATS in the last four in Philly. But, Portland is 10-1 ATS when playing on one day's rest and with Embiid out look for the Blazers to take advantage. Take PORTLAND!

Florida State at North Carolina 3:45 ET

Seminoles (+) over Tar Heels- Carolina of course if off of their 88-72 victory at Duke where they were in command from start to finished (especially after the 19:34 mark of the first period). Florida State has been no pushover winning their last eight straight-up. The trouble is FSU 1-6-1 ATS in the last eight meetings while the Tar Heels are 7-2 ATS in their last nine games overall. Take NORTH CAROLINA!

Auburn at Kentucky 1:30 ET

Tigers and Wildcats- Auburn who has been a huge point spread disappointment this season but took out all their frustrations on Arkansas last time out going wire-to-wire in a 79-56 rout where they stepped out to a 22-1 lead. Tigers 2-6 ATS on the road while Kentucky is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 at home and playing as good as anyone one in the country. The Wildcats are 47-2 lifetime in Lexington over the Tigers and already defeated the them 82-80 at Auburn four weeks ago. Tigers bite and get revenge here. Take AUBURN!

Tennessee at Louisiana State 12:00 ET

Tigers (+) over Volunteers- This should be a good one as the No. 5 Vols rebounded well from their crushing loss at Kentucky Saturday and now its the Tigers' chance to rebound off of a loss. Florida defeated LSU on overtime Wednesday Good teams like these two usually have fine ATS records and both have proved profitable as Tennessee is 6-2 ATS on the road and in their last eight games as well and LSU in 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall. In head-to-head meetings the Vols are 7-3 ATS in the last 10 and the underdog is 12-4 ATS in the last 16. Tigers claw and rebound their way back from their loss to Florida. Take LOUISIANA STATE!

Virginia at Louisville 12:00 ET

Cardinals (+) over Cavaliers- Every season it seems like the same story as Virginia opens the season and is way ahead of everyone on defense and builds up a great record. Then when the big games come they do well but it never seems like they do well enough to get over the hump. They lost their two biggest games of the year this season both to Duke. After blowing a 23-point lead against Duke Louisville has now dropped three of four including a 69-49 loss at Syracuse with their lowest scoring output of the season. Virginia is an amazing 21-6 ATS in their last 27 road games but the Cardinals are in need. Take LOUISVILLE!

Iowa State at Texas Christian 2:00 ET

Horned Frogs (+) over Cyclones- Both these clubs have gone south of late with TCU on a 3-game losing streak and a 1-6 ATS slide. Iowa State came up with a big win against Kansas State last Saturday but are 1-4 ATS in their last five. The Horned Frogs have won the last three meetings including a 92-83 win in Ames as a 10-point dog two weeks ago. TCU is 9-4 ATS in their last 13 home games and with them being such a short dog here against a ranked team I think they do it again. Take TEXAS CHRISTIAN!
