YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
At 8:10 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (547) and the Chicago Bulls (548). THE SITUATION: Charlotte (9-28) has won two of their last three games after their 117-112 win at Utah as a 5.5-point favorite on Wednesday. Chicago (18-23) has lost three games in a row after their 110-94 upset loss against Atlanta as a 6-point favorite on Wednesday.
REASONS TO TAKE UNDER THE TOTAL: The Hornets nailed 52.9% of their shots against the Jazz which was the best shooting effort in for them all season. They are only making 42.7% of their shots on the road this season — and they may be without Brandon Miller who is listed as questionable with a wrist injury. He is scoring 21.0 Points-Per-Game this year — so the Regression Gods may be making an appearance for their scoring especially if they do not have Miller tonight. Charlotte has played 21 of their last 32 games Under the Total as an underdog — and they have played 13 of their last 18 games Under the Total as an underdog of 3.5 to 9.5 points. The Bulls are scoring 117.5 PPG — and the Hornets have played 8 of their last 10 games Under the Total against teams who score 116 or more PPG. Chicago has played 10 of their last 13 games Under the Total after a straight-up loss at home — and they have played 6 straight games at home Under the Total after losing at home in their last game. They have also played 7 of their last 9 games Under the Total after losing two games in a row — and they have played 4 of their last 5 games at home Under the Total after losing two or more games in a row. They stay at home where they have played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when favored. They have also played 6 of their last 7 games Under the Total when favored by 3.5 to 9.5 points. Furthermore, the Bulls have played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total in January — and they have played 5 of their last 6 games Under the Total against teams not winning more than 25% of their games.
FINAL TAKE: The Hornets are looking to avenge a 115-108 loss at home against the Bulls on December 30th. Charlotte has played 17 of their last 23 games Under the Total when playing with revenge — and they have played 9 of their last 12 games Under the Total when avenging a loss at home. 10* NBA Friday Daily O/U Discounted Deal with Under the Total in the game between the Charlotte Hornets (547) and the Chicago Bulls (548). Best of luck for us — Frank.
At 7:00 PM ET on Friday, we will be playing Over the Total in the game between the Providence Friars (879) and the Villanova Wildcats (880). THE SITUATION: Providence (9-9) had won two games in a row before their 84-64 loss at Creighton as a 9-point underdog on Tuesday. Villanova (11-7) has lost two games in a row after a 69-63 loss at Xavier as a 3-point underdog on Tuesday.
REASONS TO TAKE OVER THE TOTAL: The Wildcats made only 43.1% of their shots against the Musketeers — and their 63 points were the second-fewest that they have scored all season. Now after playing their last two games on the road, they return home again for the first time since January 8th. They are making 51.2% of their shots on their home court which is resulting in 81.2 Points-Per-Game. They are also nailing 43.1% of their shots from behind the arc at home. Villanova lives by-the-3 and dies by-the-3 — and things shape up for them very well tonight to score a pile of points. They rank fourth in the nation by making 41.1% of their 3-pointers — and now they host a Friars team who ranks 320th in the nation away from home with their opponents making 38.1% of their shots behind the arc. The Wildcats have played 7 of their last 8 home games Over the Total as a favorite or pick ‘em. They have also played 5 of their last 7 home games Over the Total after playing their last two games on the road. Furthermore, they have played 10 of their last 14 games Over the Total when favored. Villanova ranks 11th in the nation in Adjusted Offensive Efficiency — but they are only 169th in the nation in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency. Providence ranks 106th in Adjusted Defensive Efficiency — so they are not likely to slow the Wildcats down tonight. They allowed the Bluejays to make 51.6% of their shots which was the second bad defensive game they have played in their last four games after UConn made 56.3% of their shots against them less than two weeks ago. But the Friars only made 38.2% of their shots against Creighton which was the worst shooting effort in their last four contests. Providence has played 8 of their last 12 games Over the Total after a loss on the road to a Big East rival. They have also played 5 of their last 8 games Over the Total after a loss by 15 or more points. The Friars should score their share of points by crashing the glass tonight. They rank 39th in the nation by pulling down 35.2% of their missed shots — and this is an area of vulnerability for the Wildcats. Villanova ranks 117th in the nation by allowing their opponents to rebound 28.6% of their missed shots — and their Big 12 opponents have pulled down 29.2% of their misses. Providence has played 10 of their last 15 games away from home Over the Total as an underdog — and they have played 6 of their last 8 games Over the Total as a dog this season. Additionally, they have played 18 of their last 26 games Over the Total against teams winning 60-80% of their games. And in their last 12 games in January, they have played 9 of these games Over the Total.
FINAL TAKE: The Friars are holding their opponents to 41.5% shooting this season — but Villanova has played 5 of their last 7 games Over the Total against teams who are holding their opponents to no higher than 42% shooting from the field. 25* CBB Big East Total of the Month with Over the Total in the game between the Providence Friars (879) and the Villanova Wildcats (880). Best of luck for us — Frank.
