The Edmonton Oilers are in need of a win after dropping back-to-back games, most recently a 5-3 home loss to Minnesota. They're 9-3 in their last 12 after allowing five goals or more in their previous game and I like the price we get on the Oilers at LA on Sunday. The Kings have played fairly well lately with three wins in their last five games, but this is a tough spot following a 2-1 OT loss to Colorado on Saturday. With the Kings 5-11 in their last 16 games following OT on the previous day and 2-6 in their last eight home games, I'll recommend fading the home team in this one.

The Indiana Pacers won 106-98 at New York in their first game back from the All-Star break while the Toronto Raptors defeated Phoenix 118-101. Two relatively low-scoring affairs, and I think the same will hold true for this one.

The Raptors own the fourth-best scoring defense in the league allowing just 106.5 ppg, and Indiana is also in the top 10 holding opponents to 107.4 ppg.

Under is 30-12-1 in Pacers last 43 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

The Creighton Bluejays are red hot with eight straight-up wins in their last nine games and a 7-2 ATS record. That stretch includes impressive triumph over No. 19 Marquette, No. 13 Villanova and No. 14 Seton Hall and I think they'll win and cover the spread against Butler on Sunday.

The Bulldogs have not been at their best lately with just two wins in their last six games (1-4-1 ATS). This game means a lot for the Bluejays who sit only one game out of first place in the Big East, and it's also a revenge game after a 14-point loss at Hinkle Fieldhouse last month.

The Phoenix Suns took a 118-101 beating at Toronto Friday night. They're an abysmal 1-8 ATS in their last nine overall and 3-6-1 ATS when playing on no rest on the season. I think they'll come up short when visiting Chicago on no rest on Saturday.

The Bulls are not much better at 1-7 ATS in their last eight games, but here they'll be looking to bounce back from a 103-93 loss to Charlotte on Thursday and they're 5-2 ATS in their last seven games following a double-digit loss at home.

The Dallas Mavericks will be playing on the second day of a back-to-back situation, but I don't think they'll have any issues with Atlanta after rolling over Orlando Friday night. The Hawks have had just one day off since an upset win over Miami Thursday night and we can note that the Mavs are a solid 20-6 in all road games this season and 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games as a road favorite. Atlanta is 7-17 when playing against a team with a winning record, and it's one of the worst defensive teams in the league while Dallas has the third-best points per game average.

The Boston College Eagles have covered the spread in four of their last six overall, but they came up short in a 78-65 loss at Virginia last time out and I don't see them keeping pace with Clemson in this Saturday night matchup.

The Tigers have averaged 83 ppg in impressive back-to-back upset wins over Pittsburgh and Louisville and they're one of the best defensive teams in the ACC while Boston College averages only 64.9 ppg on the season.

We can also note that Clemson has had six days to prepare for this contest while Boston College last played two days ago and this will be the Eagles' third game in just seven days. Look for Clemson to run away with this game.

The New York Islanders are a hefty favorite in this Friday night matchup with the Detroit Red Wings, but I think they'll prove well worth the money and rout the visitors.

Detroit is coming off a 4-3 win over Montreal, but it had been outscored 16-5 through a four-game skid prior to that, losing each of the last three games by at least three goals. Here the Wings will face an Islanders team desperate to put an end to an 0-4 road trip behind it as the team seeks to remain in the playoff picture.

The Islanders are 14-6 in their last 20 games as a home favorite and they've won seven of the last 10 head-to-head meetings with Detroit, including an 8-2 triumph last month.

The Denver Nuggets took an OT loss to the Lakers in their last game before the All-Star break. They're 9-1-2 ATS in their last 12 games following a straight up loss and I like them to bounce back here against an OKC Thunder team they've dominated lately, winning nine of the past 10 meetings and they're 10-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

The Thunder have been money against the spread this season, but not as a home favorite and they're 2-8 ATS last 10 as a home favorite. The Nuggets meanwhile are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog.

The Indiana Pacers took down the Milwaukee Bucks just before the All-Star break, and I think they'll have no trouble to take care of business against the NY Knicks in this one. They've covered the spread in five straight games as road chalk and 7-2 ATS in their last nine road games overall. As for the Knickerbockers they took a 114-96 beating by the hands of Washington last time out.

The Buffalo Bulls are 7-0 to the under in their last seven games and limited Ball State to 59 points on 36 percent shooting from the field last time out. As for Kent State, it was held to 49 points in a 21 point loss at Eastern Michigan last time out and it has scored fewer than 54 points in three of its last four games while four of its last five have stayed under the total.

Both teams are capable of putting up plenty of points on their day, but this total looks too high considering their recent struggles.

8* play on UNDER.
