Thursday’s betting tips: Sun Devils star still questionable

Who’s hot

NBA: Memphis has covered in five of its last six.

NBA: Orlando is 6-3 against the spread in its last nine.

NCAAB: N.C. State has covered the number in five straight road games.

NCAAB: Virginia is 9-3 against the spread in its last 12.

Who’s not

NBA: Boston is 11-24 against the spread in its last 35 games following an ATS win.

NBA: The over is 1-8 in Memphis’ last nine road games.

NCAAB: Indiana is 1-7 against the spread in its last eight meetings with Wisconsin.

NCAAB:  Arizona State is 1-6 against the spread in its last seven home games.

Key stat

56.8 – The Utah Utes rank 337th in the nation averaging just 56.8 points per game. Incredibly, they have still managed to play over the total in eight of 17 games this season heading into Thursday’s date with UCLA.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Trent Lockett, Arizona State – Lockett leads the Sun Devils in scoring (13.9), rebounding (6.4) and steals (26), but suffered a severely sprained ankle on Jan. 14 and hasn’t played since. He hasn’t practiced yet this week, though coach Herb Sendeck hasn’t ruled him out for Thursday’s game against Washington.

Game of the day

Indiana Hoosiers at Wisconsin Badgers (-7, 126)

Notable quotable

"I give coach Hollins a lot of credit, because he's always told us to stay professional, to play hard. Everybody here has gotten better under coach Hollins. He's about hard work, grit and grind. That's the foundation he laid down the first day he became coach and he hasn't been proven wrong." – Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo on coach Lionel Hollins.

Notes and tips

The New England Patriots released their first injury report for the Super Bowl on Wednesday, and tight end Rob Gronkowski's name was the most notable on it. Gronkowski was listed as unable to practice due to an ankle injury suffering in Sunday's AFC Championship Game win over Baltimore. The Boston Herald reported that Gronkowski is dealing with ligament damage in his left ankle. Gronkowski was hurt on a 23-yard reception in the final minute of the third quarter. The second-year tight end later returned to the game, telling reporters he went to get the ankle re-taped. He finished with five receptions for 87 yards but did not make a catch after he was hurt. Gronkowski has had a monster season, setting records for tight ends for touchdowns (17) and receiving yards (1,327).

The Orlando Magic rank second in the Association hitting 39.6 percent of their shots from beyond the arc. So it stands to reason that if you can contain Dwight Howard inside while pressuring the perimeter, you’re going to be in good shape. That’s something the Celtics have figured out. They held Orlando to franchise lows of 56 points and 24.6 percent shooting from the floor Monday. "We have trouble scoring against them," Magic guard J.J. Redick told reporters. "That's not a secret. They're a great defense, and we've had so many battles with them that they've kind of figured us out." Orlando, which is an 8-point favorite Thursday, is 1-3-1 against the spread in its last five meetings with Boston.

College funds: Thursday's best NCAAB bets

Indiana Hoosiers at Wisconsin Badgers (-7, 126)

Wisconsin goes for its fifth straight victory when it hosts No. 17 Indiana on Thursday. The No. 25 Badgers stumbled to a 1-3 start in the Big Ten, but have bounced back over the last two weeks, most recently in a 67-63 victory at Illinois on Sunday.

Despite their uneven play in the conference, the Badgers still lead the nation in points allowed (49.6), field goal percentage defense (35.9) and fewest turnovers (9.0). Their inconsistent offense, though, ranks only 10th in the Big Ten in scoring (65.6), 10th in shooting (43.5 percent) and 11th in assists (12.0).

Senior point guard Jordan Taylor leads Wisconsin with 14.1 points and 4.4 assists. The Badgers are shooting 70.8 percent from the foul line, a big drop from last year's NCAA-best 81.8 percent.

Meanwhile, Indiana leads the Big Ten in scoring (79.8), field goal percentage (50.0) and 3-point percentage (44.9).

This could go down to the wire.
 
Pick: Hoosiers

Boston College Badgers at Virginia Cavaliers (-18, N/A)

Virginia was one of the nation’s most pleasant surprises in the non-conference season but will try to prevent another ACC stumble when it welcomes slumping Boston College on Thursday.

The No. 21 Cavaliers won 14 of their first 15 games but have dropped two of the last three, including a 47-45 home decision to Virginia Tech in which they shot a season-low 32.6 percent. That was Virginia’s first game without 7-foot senior center Assane Sene, who is expected to miss at least six weeks.

The Cavaliers still boast the nation’s second-best scoring defense but may play around with a four-guard lineup to create more offense in Sene’s absence.

There’s no better team to experiment on than Boston College, which is still struggling to jell with 11 new players and nine freshmen. The Eagles have lost five of seven and don’t have a road victory.

Pick: Cavaliers

Pick 'n' roll: Thursday's best NBA bets

Boston Celtics at Orlando Magic (-8, 176)

Fading teams on the second half of back-to-back games can be a good betting strategy at times. However, Tuesday was not one of those games for Magic supporters.

Orlando put up a franchise-low 56 points in Monday’s blowout loss at Boston. After flying to Indiana, the Magic took it out on the Pacers in a 102-83 win, easily covering as 3-point favorites.

“Why would we have so much more energy on the second night of a back-to-back [after] getting in at three in the morning?” Magic coach Stan Van Gundy said after the win. “Well, because we got our butt kicked last night and we were embarrassed.”

Embarrassment could play a part in Thursday’s game as well. The Magic were terrible in that loss to the Celtics and Dwight Howard will be looking for a big game after getting in foul trouble against Indiana. Howard finished with 14 points and nine rebounds in that one, though he did set the Magic’s franchise scoring record in the third quarter.

Orlando also won’t have to deal with Ray Allen, who is still out with an ankle injury.

Pick: Magic

Memphis Grizzlies at Los Angeles Clippers (-3.5, 191.5)

The Grizzlies had a seven-game winning streak snapped against Portland on Tuesday and coach Lionel Hollins could see it coming a mile away with his club playing its second game in as many nights.

"When you're a little bit fatigued, it's hard to keep attacking. You want to settle, and we did settle too much," Hollins told reporters.

Hollins had better hope his club finds its legs in a hurry. Even though the Clippers will be playing on consecutive nights, they are putting up 97.4 points per game.

On the season, Memphis is averaging about 95 points on the year, but only 85.4 points on the road.

We like this one to stay under.

Pick: Under

NBA comp play for this Thursday night card is the streaking Memphis Grizzlies plus the points at the Los Angeles Clippers.

Memphis did lose on Tuesday night in Portland, but the Grizzlies have won seven of their last eight games overall, and they have covered in five of their last six contests.

The Clippers just played last night, taking on their in-city rival the Lakers for bragging rights to the City of Angels. The Clips came up shy in a 96-91 final as the "visitor" in their home arena. How will Los Angeles react tonight playing with no rest against this dangerous visitor?

The Grizzlies have won five of the last nine series meetings straight up, and they have covered in six of those nine showdowns.

I will grab the points with the rested road dog to cover versus a L.A. team that is still licking their wounds after losing a big one to the Lakers last night.

South Alabama @ Arkansas-Little Rock
PICK: South Alabama

What’s going on with the Sun Belt this season? Heading into tonight only FOUR of its 12 member teams boasts an overall winning record – and the remaining eight programs had combined for a jaw-dropping 32-72 SU effort against non-conference foes. One of those losing teams was Arkansas-LR, which amazingly led the Sun Belt West with a 5-0 mark despite its 8-11 start. But here’s the real kicker: prior to its meeting with La-Lafayette last a week ago, UALR was riding an amazing 10-0 ATS win skein. That sort of anomaly just screams ‘value’ when looking at South Alabama tonight… especially since the Jags have gone 13-5 SU and 12-5-1 ATS in this series. The visitors were also 9-0 SU versus losing teams at press time and will be looking to get even for a loss to Little Rock in last year’s conference tournament (Jaguars 4-0-1 ATS as dogs with Sun Belt tourney knockout revenge). Cats must be on the prowl here if they expect to have any chance at chasing down East-leading Middle Tennessee State. We’ll do our part to bolster an ailing economy by making a play on the ‘USA.’ We recommend a 1-unit play on South Alabama.

North Carolina State @ North Carolina
PICK: North Carolina State +13.5

The Tar Heels are off an impressive 82-68 victory at Florida State. Obviously, they are a very good team. They're not invincible though. Prior to the win at Virginia Tech, UNC was smashed by a score of 90-57 at Florida State. Overall, the Tar Heels are just 2-3 ATS their last five games.

While UNC should win this game, this is quite a large number to be laying.

Keep in mind that the Wolfpack are no slouches. They won outright at Miami last time out. Prior to that, they crushed Boston College. Before that, they beat Wake Forest by 36 points. In fact, they're 9-1 SU their last 10 games and the lone loss came by just 11 points.

Going back further finds that NC State has just five SU losses on the entire season and that only one of those setbacks came by greater than 11 points. (That was vs. Syracuse.) For the season, the Wolfpack are 3-0 ATS (2-1 SU) in their road lined games. Their lone loss on the road came by only four points, at Stanford.

The Tar Heels are only 8-13 ATS the last 21 times that they were laying more than a dozen points at home and that includes a 1-3 ATS mark as a home favorite in the -12.5 to -15 range. Consider taking the points with NC STATE.
GOLDEN CONTENDER

Valparaiso vs. Wisc Green Bay
Play: Valparaiso +1.5

Valpo has won 7 of 9 vs conference opponents and 5 of the last 6 after allowing 60 or less last out. When they play teams that average 65 or less points they are 4-1. Valpo has knocked off 0 of he last 25 teams with losing records as well. That brings us to a Wisconsin Green Bay that has lost 9 of the last 11 vs teams with a winning record and 6 of 7 if they scored 60 or less points in their last game, WGBAY is 1-4 off a loss and 0-6 vs teams ranked 100 to 150 in the RPI Rankings, while Valparaiso has won both games vs teams ranked 150 to 200. Look for Valparaiso to cash this one.
Dave Cokin Comp

Pepperdine vs San Diego
Pick: San Diego

Pepperdine's lack of depth is wearing down what was already a weak team. This game is essentially six vs. nine and even though the Toreros are no very good, they're in better form, they're much deeper and they're at home. San Diego should win here pretty comfortably.
Jim Feist Comp

CS Fullerton VS CS Northridge
Pick: CS Fullerton

Fullerton has a better road record than stumbling Northridge has at home. The Cal State Fullerton Titans are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games following an ATS win and 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games. This bad Northridge team has home court, but what has that mattered? The Matadors are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games and the road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings between these conference rivals. Play Fullerton!

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Wisconsin Badgers
A big one is set to go on the Big Ten hardwood Thursday night in Madison where the Wisconsin Badgers (16-5, 12-6 ATS) will look to continue their dominance over the Indiana Hoosiers (16-4, 9-6 ATS); tip-off from the Kohl Center is set to go live on ESPN2 at 9:00 ET.

After dropping their Big Ten opener in East Lansing against the Michigan State Spartans, Head Coach Tom Creans Hoosiers rattled off three straight wins over Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State to sit atop the herd. Then came a surprising three-game losing streak to Minnesota, Ohio State, and Nebraska that chopped the Hoosiers back down to size. Most teams experience this up and down nature throughout a lengthy conference schedule, and the hope in Bloomington is that their squad got all its losing out of its system as they close out the second half of the schedule. That certainly looked to be the case last Saturday when Indiana last took to the hardwood, as it simply blew the doors off Penn State en route to the 73-54 home win and cover as 15-point favorites. Frosh Cody Zeller and his mates check in 4-3 SU and 3-4 ATS in their seven road/neutral court games to date.

Just like tonights opponent, the Wisconsin Badgers also exploded out of the gate to the tune of a 12-2 SU mark through the course of their first 14 games played, but then came upon some hard times that balanced out their overall statistics. After going into Nebraska and handing the Huskers a 64-40 woodshed beating as 8.5-point road chalk in their Big Ten opener back in late December, the Badgers went on to drop three in a row to Iowa, Michigan State, and Michigan. The first two defeats saw them drop back-to-back home tussles for the first time during the Bo Ryan era. Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, the Badgers snapped the losing streak with a solid win at Mackey Arena a venue theyd only been victorious in three times in their previous 40 visits and at the same time, snapped the Boilermakers 26-game home win streak. That triumph was followed up with two more against Northwestern and Illinois. As it is, Wiscy enters tonights spot winners of four in a row (3-1 ATS) with 10-3 SU & 6-4 ATS records as a host.

Wisconsin has dominated its recent series with Indiana winning each of the teams L/8 overall confrontations while covering the closing number in seven of those contests; the over is 4-1 in the L/5 meetings. The Hoosiers check in a bankroll depleting 3-14 ATS versus their L/17 Big Ten opponents, but stand 3-2 SU & ATS the L/5 times they were dogged by eight points or less. Wisconsins 19-9 ATS the L/28 times it matched up against a +.600 opponent, but checks in just 2-3 SU & ATS as a favorite of eight points or less.
PICK: Indiana +pts

Indiana @ Wisconsin
PICK: Wisconsin -7

Thanks to a strong start, Indiana has officially become overrated in the marketplace. For all their "success" the Hoosiers are just 4-4 SU in Big 10 play & that includes 1-3 on the road. The Kohl Center in Madison is of course one of the most difficult venues in the conference, if not the entire nation and I look for host Wisconsin to pick up a big victory Thursday night. The Badgers are 25-12 ATS their last 37 home games and come in having won four straight overall. The Badgers have beaten IU six straight times by nine or more points and they hold serve tonight.
Andrew Lange

Washington at Arizona State
Play: Under 137.5

In seven PAC-12 games this season, Arizona State has topped 137 points once. It came against the fastest team in the league, Oregon State, who also happens to be incapable of stopping teams from scoring (57.4% effective FG% vs. PAC-12). In that game, there were 71 possessions and ASU shot 59% from the floor and 53% from three. If not for ASU's out-of-the-norm effort and a 45-point second half, that game probably lands in the low to mid 130s as oppose to 142. Outside of that game, ASU's games vs. the PAC-12 have averaged 58.6 possessions per game. Since losing to Colorado 87-69, Washington head coach Lorenzo Romar has been preaching better shot selection and defense and for the most part, it has worked as the Huskies have won three of their last four conference games, holding those four teams to 53, 65, 69 and 63 points. Injuries concerns for both squads with UW's CJ Wilcox and ASU's Trent Lockett questionable – I've read different status reports on both players. Regardless, Arizona State has been horrific on offense for much of the season and is rarely if ever willing to get out in transition and attempt to trade baskets with the opposition. Couple that with Washington's constant struggles on the road and we find ourselves with a play on the under.
