NBA All-Star Game betting preview: West slight fave vs. East

Western Conference vs. Eastern Conference (+2.5, 295)

The NBA's biggest stars - or at least, most of them - have converged on Madison Square Garden for the latest edition of the All-Star Game. Players on both sides will miss the game due to injury; the East will be without guard Dwyane Wade, while the West will be missing three players, including dominant center Anthony Davis and legendary guard Kobe Bryant. But the game will still feature a host of studs, including LeBron James, Chris Paul and Kevin Durant.

The annual star-laden showcase has always been a high-scoring affair, but last year's game took it to another level - the teams combined for a stunning 318 points, as the East pulled out a 163-155 victory. It was the first victory for the East since 2010, and oddsmakers aren't counting on a repeat as they've made the East a slight underdog. But with Davis, Bryant and Blake Griffin on the shelf, the West has had to dig a little deeper into the All-Star reserve pool.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE HISTORY: The West is a 2 1/2-point fave after opening -2. The over/under has dropped a half-point to 295.

WHAT CAPPERS SAY: "It’s no secret that the Western Conference is vastly superior to the Eastern Conference this season. The same was true last season, but the East went out and won the All-Star game 163-155, snapping the West’s 3-game winning streak. The East played with a purpose in last year’s game as they were tired of hearing how they were the weaker conference. It will be interesting to see if they play inspired again on Sunday for the same reason, or if they go thru the motions and concede the game to the West." - Covers Expert Steve Merril

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "No sharp action on the game, we rarely see wiseguys play these all star games, only if there is big injury news. There will be a big decision on the game, as 83 percent of cash and 81percent of bets are taking the West, who opened as 2 point favorite & now are -3." - Mike Jerome from TopBet.eu

ABOUT THE EASTERN CONFERENCE: Few could have predicted the East roster would look like this when the season began. The biggest surprise is the presence of four Atlanta Hawks starters, a testament to the team's unbelievable start to the season; Bulls power forward Pau Gasol and swingman Jimmy Butler have also been moderate surprises, and a major reason for Chicago's solid start. James is still the leader of the pack, however, and is joined by talented guards John Wall and Kyle Lowry, fellow Cav Kyrie Irving and former teammate Chris Bosh.

ABOUT THE WESTERN CONFERENCE: It says a lot about the strength of the West that the team is still favored despite being without two of the league's top frontcourt players and a volume scorer in Bryant. MVP candidates Stephen Curry and James Harden lead the charge, while Paul, Damien Lillard, Klay Thompson and Russell Westbrook round out a truly frightening backcourt. The frontcourt is thinned out, but still boasts plenty of talent in Marc Gasol, Tim Duncan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Dirk Nowitzki and DeMarcus Cousins.

TRENDS:

* Each team has scored at least 138 points in each of the last five All-Star Games.
* An East city has hosted the All-Star game just once in the past 11 years - the West beat the East 152-149 in Orlando in 2012.
* The West holds a 12-11 edge since 1990-91, averaging 134 points for and 130.3 points against.

CONSENSUS: Users are heavily backing the West, with 67 percent of the votes laying the 2 1/2 points.

Top 25 roundup: Kentucky ties school record at 25-0

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Coach John Calipari already had won 90 of 99 games when coaching a No. 1 team and his undefeated Wildcats weren't about to spoil No. 100 Saturday afternoon at Rupp Arena.

Jumping ahead by 20 points within the first 12 minutes, Kentucky cruised to a 77-43 victory over South Carolina before a sellout crowd of 24,305.

At 25-0, Kentucky (12-0 SEC) tied the school record for best start to a season. The 1954 team finished 25-0 behind two future Basketball Hall of Famers, Cliff Hagan and Frank Ramsey.

Junior forward Willie Cauley-Stein paced Kentucky with 14 points, hitting 6 of 10 shots, and seven rebounds. Sophomore guard Aaron Harrison added 11 points, all in the first half, and sophomore center Dakari Johnson had a double-double of 10 points and 13 rebounds in just 21 minutes.

Guard Sindarius Thornwell paced South Carolina (12-12, 3-9) by scoring 20 of his team's 43 points, though he made only 5 of 17 shots. No other player scored more than six.

Earlier in the day, Calipari learned that he had been named a finalist for the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and his team seemed determined to validate that recognition by crushing South Carolina from the opening tip.

"I told (my players), 'You just tied a record of the most storied program in history,'" Calipari said. "I'm telling you: Winning is so much more fun than losing. You have no idea. Losing stinks."

Virginia 61, Wake Forest 60

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- The second-ranked Cavaliers overcame a seven-point halftime deficit to survive Wake Forest.

Playing its second full game without junior swingman Justin Anderson, Virginia (23-1, 11-1) had to create offense from other spots on the floor and used a 27-12 run at the start of the second half to eventually escape the Demon Deacons.

Wake Forest (12-14, 4-9) had the final possession of the game with the chance to pull off the upset, but guard Codi Miller-McIntyre was unable to get off a shot, turning the ball over as time expired.

Virginia led by as many as 13 points in the second half. Forward Anthony Gill paced the Cavaliers with a game-high 19 points. Guard Malcolm Brogdon added 11 points and nine rebounds, and stole the ball from Miller-McIntyre to prevent a potential game-winning shot.

Gonzaga 56, Pepperdine 48

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Point guard Kevin Pangos scored 19 points to lead third-ranked Gonzaga over Pepperdine in West Coast Conference play.

The Bulldogs (26-1, 14-0 WCC) have won 19 consecutive games, 28 straight over Pepperdine and 40 in a row at home. Gonzaga's home winning streak is the longest in the nation.

Forward Stacy Davis topped Pepperdine (15-11, 8-7) with 13 points. The Waves, who lost 78-76 to Gonzaga at home Jan. 15, were held to a season low for points and held the Bulldogs to their lowest total.

Duke 80, Syracuse 72

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Withstanding a 3-point barrage from one of its former players, No. 4 Duke outlasted Syracuse at the Carrier Dome in front of one of the largest on-campus crowds in college basketball history.

The Blue Devils went on a 26-7 run at the end of the first half and start of the second half to turn an 11-point deficit into an eight-point lead. The Orange had built their lead behind the lights-out shooting of junior guard Michael Gbinije, a Duke transfer who made 5 of 6 from behind the arc in the first half. He finished with a career-high 27 points for the Orange (16-9, 7-5 ACC), who lost for the fifth time in their last eight ACC games.

Duke (22-3, 9-3) won its fifth consecutive game before the sellout crowd of 35,466, which tied last year's Duke-Syracuse game at the Carrier Dome for biggest on-campus crowd in college basketball history. Naismith Award finalist Jahlil Okafor, a freshman, led the Blue Devils with 23 points.

Villanova 68, Butler 65

INDIANAPOLIS -- Guard Darrun Hilliard's 3-pointer from the right wing with 1.5 seconds remaining lifted No. 6 Villanova over No. 18 Butler in Hinkle Fieldhouse.

It was the Big East-leading 12th 3-pointer for the Wildcats (23-2, 10-2). Hilliard finished with a game-best 31 points, including Villanova's final six. He was fouled shooting a 3-pointer with 1:24 left and sank all three free throws to give the Wildcats a 65-63 lead. Butler guard Roosevelt Jones' driving layup with 17.5 seconds left tied it at 65, setting the stage for Hilliard's heroics.

Butler forward Kelan Martin had a 3-point attempt at the buzzer to tie it, but the shot bounced off the left side of the rim.

Guards Kellen Dunham and Alex Barlow each had 19 points to lead the Bulldogs (18-7, 8-4), who were up by as many as five in the second half but could not hold on.

Kansas 74, Baylor 64

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Forward Perry Ellis surpassed the 1,000-point mark for his career by leading Kansas with 18 points as the No. 8 Jayhawks downed No. 16 Baylor.

Kansas overcame a six-point halftime deficit to claim its 21st consecutive win at home and climb to 21-4 overall and 10-2 as the Big 12 leaders. It marked the 20th straight season the Jayhawks have won at least 10 games in conference play.

Freshman guard Kelly Oubre also scored 18 points to share team-high honors with Ellis. Guard Wayne Selden added 15 for the Jayhawks, who claimed a sweep of the season series against the Bears (18-7, 6-6).

Forward Rico Gathers had 18 points and eight rebounds to lead Baylor. Point guard Kenny Chery added 17 points, but made just 6 of 15 shots.

N.C. State 74, Louisville 65

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Sophomore guard Cat Barber orchestrated a number of key plays and made several critical free throws down the stretch, helping inexperienced North Carolina State to a big road win over No. 9 Louisville.

The Wolfpack opened an 11-point lead and then held on in front of a packed house of 22,000 at the KFC Yum Center. Barber hit 9 of 10 free throws and had an assist in the final 2:40 for the Wolfpack (15-11, 6-7 ACC). He had 21 points, four assists and three rebounds.

Louisville (20-5, 8-4) suffered its third home loss of the season. The Cardinals, which led 31-30 at halftime, lost for the first time this season when it was ahead after 20 minutes.

Senior guard Chris Jones led Louisville with 20 points. Senior forward Wayne Blackshear had 19 points and sophomore guard Terry Rozier, who is second in the ACC in scoring, fouled out with 4:56 left and just seven points. Cardinals All-American Montrezl Harrell was held to seven points but had 13 rebounds.

Pittsburgh 89, North Carolina 76

PITTSBURGH -- Sheldon Jeter had a career-high 22 points to lead six Pittsburgh scorers in double figures as the hot-shooting Panthers downed No. 12 North Carolina.

Jeter, a sophomore forward who transferred from Vanderbilt, made his first start for Pitt on Wednesday night in a loss at Louisville and scored six points. He more than tripled that total Saturday as he made 10 of 14 shots from the field, and Pitt shot 64.9 percent (37 of 57) as a team.

Also scoring in double figures for Pitt (17-9, 6-6) were senior guard Cameron Wright (15), sophomore forward Michael Young (13), junior guard James Robinson (12), sophomore forward Jamel Artis (11) and sophomore guard Chris Jones (10).

North Carolina (18-7, 8-4), which lost for the third time in four games, was led by junior forward Brice Johnson's 19 points. Sophomore forward Kennedy Meeks added 15 points.

Iowa State 79, West Virginia 59

AMES, Iowa -- Point guard Monte Morris scored 19 points and sparked No. 14 Iowa State's second-half surge against No. 21 West Virginia.

Forward Abdel Nader added 15 points off the bench and forward Jameel McKay added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Cyclones (18-6, 8-4 Big 12), who swept the home-and-home season series.

Guard Juwan Staten produced 16 points and seven assists for West Virginia (19-6, 7-5), which trailed by only four at halftime but suffered its fourth consecutive blowout against a ranked team.

Wichita State 68, Illinois State 62

NORMAL, Ill. -- Guard Ron Baker scored 19 points and guard Fred VanVleet added 15 as No. 15 Wichita State held off a late Illinois State surge at Redbird Arena.

The Shockers (23-3, 13-1 Missouri Valley) moved one-half game ahead of idle Northern Iowa atop the conference standings.

Guard DeVaug Akoon-Purcell scored 18 points, including 15 in the second half, for Illinois State (15-11, 7-1), which dropped its third straight game.

Kansas State 59, Oklahoma 56

MANHATTAN, Kan. -- Marcus Foster hit the winning 3-pointer against Oklahoma for the second time this season and Kansas State overcame horrible shooting from the field to defeat No. 17 Oklahoma in Bramlage Coliseum.

The Wildcats (13-13, 6-7 Big 12) completed a season sweep of the Sooners.

With the score tied at 56 after a 7-0 Oklahoma run in the final 2:59, Kansas State worked for the last shot. Just like Foster did in a 66-63 overtime win on Jan. 10 in Norman, Okla., the Wildcats' leading scorer drained the go-ahead 3-pointer with 3.4 seconds left.

Kansas State shot just 26.5 percent from the field (13 of 49) but held a huge advantage from the free throw line. The Wildcats was 28 of 36 from the stripe and the Sooners (17-8, 8-5) was 13 of 17.

Kansas State was led by Foster with 14 points and forward Nino Williams with 13. Oklahoma was paced by guard Buddy Hield, who scored 14 points.

Maryland 76, Penn State 73

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- No. 19 Maryland had just two field goals during the final 10 minutes, but the Terrapins did enough work at the free-throw line to break a three-game road losing streak.

Guard Dez Wells had 22 points, including seven during a 22-8 Maryland run that opened the second half. Melo Trimble, a freshman guard, finished with 20 points, six rebounds and four assists and was a perfect 12 of 12 at the free-throw line.

Maryland (21-5, 9-4 Big Ten) made eight of its first 10 shots from the field in the second half and led 55-42 with just under 14 minutes left before Penn State (15-11, 3-10) surged back to take a 62-60 lead on a dunk by forward Ross Travis with 7:52 left. Of the Terrapins' final 16 points, all were scored by Wells, Trimble or forward Jake Layman, and all but four of them came at the free-throw line. Maryland was 21 of 26 at the stripe.

Penn State, which had its three-game home winning streak snapped, got 25 points and four assists from senior guard D.J. Newbill, the Big Ten's leading scorer.

VCU 79, George Washington 66

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Starting guard Melvin Johnson scored 14 of his 17 points in the first half and Virginia Commonwealth reserve guards made some big second-half shots as the No. 20 Rams pulled away from George Washington.

With the win, first-place VCU (19-6, 9-3) won for just the second time in five games. The Rams have won eight of their past road conference games.

George Washington (17-8, 7-5) lost for the first time this season at home and saw their 12-game home winning streak come to an end. Guard-forward Patricio Garino had 22 points to pace the Colonials.

TCU 70, Oklahoma State 55

FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU outscored Oklahoma State 14-2 in the last 3:50 to snap a seven-game losing streak and upset the No. 21 Cowboys at Wilkerson-Greines Activity Center.

Guard Kyan Anderson scored a team-high 14 points and guard Trey Zeigler added 13 for the Horned Frogs (15-10, 2-10 Big 12).

The loss snapped a three-game winning streak for Oklahoma State (17-8, 7-6), which was led by forward Le'Bryan Nash's game-high 19 points.

Michigan State 59, Ohio State 56

EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Denzel Valentine scored a game-high 17 points, including a go-ahead 3-pointer with four seconds remaining, to send Michigan State over No. 23 Ohio State.

Valentine, a junior guard, added three assists and made five 3-pointers for the Spartans (17-8, 8-4 Big Ten), who recorded their first victory this season over a Top 25 opponent. Valentine has made 19 3-pointers in his last four games.

Forward Branden Dawson supplied 15 points, 11 rebounds, five blocks and four assists while guard Travis Trice contributed nine points and five assists for Michigan State.
