This is a play on the ORLANDO MAGIC for our NBA Wednesday Enforcer. This line came out late for no apparent reason other than some small injury issues. Orlando is now back home after going 3-3 on its most recent roadtrip that included a win over the Western Conference-leading Lakers. The Magic haven't played at home since January 8th where they are 13-8 on the season including wins in five of their last seven. The Magic are 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games following a straight up win. Oklahoma City has won two straight as it rallied from a 16-point fourth-quarter deficit to win at Houston on Monday. The Thunder trailed Monday's game by 17 at one point, making the win against the Rockets the fourth time this season they have won despite trailing by 17 or more points at any point. Here, we play against road teams where the line is +3 to -3 that are averaging 99 or more ppg going up against an opponent after allowing 85 points or less. This situation is 33-10 ATS (76.7 percent) over the last five seasons. 10* (534) Orlando Magic

This is a play on the SOUTHERN ILLINOIS SALUKIS as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Southern Illinois is coming off a big win over Drake to move to .500 in the Missouri Valley Conference following a pair of road losses. It is 8-1 at home this year and has won seven-straight home games. The seven-game home court winning streak is the longest since the 2017-18 season. The Salukis are searching for the program's first eight-game home court winning streak since 2007-08. The home team is 15-1 in Saluki games this season. Southern Illinois leads the MVC and ranks 13th nationally in scoring defense, allowing just 60.2 ppg. North Iowa sits atop the MVC, tied with Loyola-Chicago with a 5-1 record. The Panthers have won five straight games since a conference opening loss and while this is a very solid team, they are overpriced here and are laying their biggest number on the road this season. 9* (842) Southern Illinois Salukis

This is a play on the MARSHALL THUNDERING HERD as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Marshall picked up a home win over Old Dominion on Saturday which snapped a two-game skid and moved the Thundering Herd back to .500 in the conference. They have dropped five straight games against the number which is helping this price and sending some value to their side. They are just 6-5 at home but the two conference losses have been by a combined five points. Western Kentucky is a half-game out of first place in C-USA following three straight wins, the final two coming at home. The Hilltoppers are 5-1 in the conference but four of the wins came at home and the lone road win came against 4-15 (0-6) Middle Tennessee St. and the only other road win came at 7-12 Eastern Kentucky of the Ohio Valley Conference. 9* (810) Marshall Thundering Herd

This is a play on the MICHIGAN WOLVERINES as part of our CBB Wednesday Trifecta. Michigan has dropped three of its last four games including two straight but all of those losses came on the road. The Wolverines are 8-1 at home with the lone loss coming against No. 12 Oregon by a single point in overtime. The ranking of Michigan's schedule has vaulted to one of the best in the nation, 2nd (ESPN's BPI), 2nd (Sagarin) and 4th (KenPom). Michigan holds a 21-2 record against Penn St. in Ann Arbor and has won the last seven meetings at Crisler Center. Penn St. is coming off a win over Ohio St. to snap a three-game losing streak and move to 3-4 in the Big Ten. The Nittany Lions are just 1-3 on the road with all three losses coming within the conference by an average of 16.3 ppg. The victory over the Buckeyes also snapped a four-game non-cover streak after covering five straight. 9* (788) Michigan Wolverines

This is a play on the AUBURN TIGERS for our CBB Wednesday Enforcer. Auburn is coming off a pair of ugly losses as the Tigers lost to Alabama by 19 points and Florida by 22 points. That snapped a streak of 15 straight wins to start the season and they dropped Auburn from No. 4 to No. 12 in the AP Poll. Those losses were both on the road however and Auburn is a perfect 9-0 at home. The Tigers are 26-3 since Feb. 27 last season. That record is the third best record in the country over that stretch. Auburn has played nine opponents picked to finish in the top three of its league. South Carolina picked up an upset win over Kentucky at home and did not letdown from that as it went on the road and defeated Texas A&M last Saturday by 14 points. The Gamecocks have covered three straight games and while the win over Kentucky was nice, they have some ugly losses, notably to Boston U. and Stetson. 10* (814) Auburn Tigers

This is a play on the XAVIER MUSKETEERS for our CBB Wednesday Star Attraction. Xavier is off to a 1-4 start in the Big East Conference as it has underachieved thus far. The Musketeers, who were off this past weekend, are shooting to snap a three-game losing streak, their longest of the season. They have not covered a game since December 22nd when they outright at TCU so this streak is keeping this number in check. Xavier is 267-43 (.861) all-time at Cintas Center, including 9-2 this season. Its all-time winning percentage at Cintas Center is ranked seventh in the nation so snapping a two-game slide here is imperative. Georgetown, 12-7 overall and 2-4 in the Big East Conference, is coming off an 84-80 loss to Marquette on Saturday. The Hoyas are 2-4 on the road including a 0-3 record in conference action, all coming by double digits and coming by an average of 15.3 ppg. 9* (782) Xavier Musketeers
