PICK - New York Knicks -2
RATING: 30*
ROT#: 503

I will back the Knicks as a small road favorite against the Cavs tonight. I had my concerns with backing New York in their last game against Brooklyn, even though it was a bad spot for the Nets. It turned out being the right call, as New York ended up losing by 7 as a 3.5-point dog.

With that said there was a big positive to take from that game and that was the Knicks offense finally showing some life with 109 points on 48% shooting. If they can get anything close to that in this one, they should have no problem putting away a depleted Cavs team. 

Cleveland remains without their starting backcourt duo of point guard Darius Garland and shooting guard Collin Sexton. They are also without backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova and backup shooting guards Dylan Windler and Kevin Porter Jr.

They did just recently add in big man Jarrett Allen and SF Taurean Prince in the big Harden trade, but both figure to not be available. Even if they do play, it's hard to win in this league with the talent they are going to send out at the guard position. Give me the Knicks -2!

40* BULLS/THUNDER NBA VEGAS INSIDER (Bulls +1.5) 

I'll gladly take the points with Chicago as a small road dog against the Thunder. I'm expecting a big effort here from the Bulls as they are going to want to give their new head coach, Billy Donovan a win in his first game against his old team in OKC. Not only that, Chicago is playing great basketball right now. They have covered in 5 straight and 8 of their last 9 overall. They also are expected to get back one of their best players in Lauri Markkanen. Plus the Bulls have a big edge in rest, as Chicago will be playing on a full 4 days of rest, while the Thunder will be playing their 3rd game in 4 nights. Give me the Bulls +1.5! 

50* NCAAB NORTHEAST CONF GAME OF THE MONTH (Bryant -4.5) 

I absolutely love this spot for Bryant in Friday's rematch against St. Francis PA. These two played last night and the Red Flash pulled off the big upset beating the Bulldogs 89-82 as a 7.5-point dog. That result has Bryant now laying a full 3-points fewer in a game they are going to be much more motivated to win. Also, the Bulldogs were ice cold from 3 and St Francis had one of their better shooting performances from outside. Look for regression both ways and for Bryant to win this one going away. Give me the Bulldogs -4.5! 

40* OLD DOMINION/RICE NCAAB STEAMROLLER (OVER 146) 

I love the value here with the OVER 146 in Friday's C-USA clash between Old Dominion and Rice. For starters, the Owls are your ideal OVER team. Rice is not only efficient offensively, they like to play fast. The Owls are No. 1 in C-USA in offensive efficiency and No. 2 in tempo. They need all the scoring they can get because they don't play much defense. They are 13th in conference play in defensive efficiency. Old Dominion is mediocre offensively and average defensively, but more than anything will be forced to play at Rice's fast pace. Give me the OVER 146!
