13) Noon-2pm:
— Davidson 54, Saint Louis 53— Billikens missed two FT’s with 0:00 on the clock.
— Illinois 78, Maryland 67— Why did these teams play in Madison Square Garden?
— Iowa State 87, Ole Miss 73— Impressive road win for the Cyclones.

12) 2-4pm:
— NC State 69, Clemson 67— Tigers led by 6 with 0:30 left, gagged the game away.
— Marquette 87, Xavier 82— Marquette was down 11, made 14 of 25 3-pointers. Xavier’s coach got a technical with 3:54 left, when it was a 2-point game.
— Texas A&M 65, Kansas State 53— Wildcats had won their last five games.

11) 4-6pm:
— Colorado State 74, Fresno State 65— Pretty big upset in Mountain West.
— Washington 79, Oregon State 69— Huskies are 7-0 in the Pac-12.
— Utah State 68, New Mexico 66— Walk-on Abel Porter nailed a 3-pointer with 0:01.8 left for the win. Lobos got hosed by a bogus backcourt violation called against them earlier.

10) 6-8pm:
— UConn 80, Wichita State 60- 2nd game in row Wichita didn’t score before first TV timeout.
— Kentucky 71, Kansas 63— Jayhawks shot 35% inside arc; they’re 4-3 in last seven games.
— LSU 86, Missouri 80 (OT)— LSU was down 14, ended game on 30-10 run. Horrendous beat if you had Mizzou +4; LSU missed one of two FT’s with 0:02 left to force OT.

9) 8-10pm:
— Virginia Tech 78, Syracuse 56— Hokies made 14-30 on arc in a surprisingly easy win.
— USC 69, Arizona State 67— Trojans hit a 3-pointer with 0:11 left to win a fun game.
— San Diego State 94, UNLV 77— Rebels had to bus back to Las Vegas; UNLV’s charter jet was grounded because of technical difficulties. Reportedly, there was a break-in; someone damaged the cockpit in the plane.

8) 10pm-12
— Mississippi State 92, Auburn 84— Tigers made 11-21 on arc, still lost by 8.
— UCLA 87, Arizona 69— Worst weekend Arizona hoops has had in long time.

7) Upsets of the Day:

— Rutgers (+7.5) 64, Penn State 60
— Colorado State (+7) 74, Fresno State 65
— Western Illinois (+7) 65, South Dakota 59

6) From Justin Ray: Since 2013, %age of 3rd round leaders that won on PGA Tour:
Led by 1 shot – won tournament 25.9% of time
2 shots – 40.0%
3 shots – 40.6%
4+ shots – 82.5%

5) Tex-San Antonio 74, Old Dominion 73— Monarchs led 69-55 with 2:10 left to play but went home a loser. Giving up 19 points in 2:10 isn’t that easy to do.

4) Missouri State 55, Bradley 37— In its last two games, Missouri State allowed 11-14 points in the first half. Bears are 4-4 in the MVC, much improved under new coach Dana Ford.

3) James Harden went 15-15 on the foul line Friday night, the 10th time in his career he has made 15+ free throws without a miss in a game, which ties Oscar Robertson for the most such games in NBA history.

2) It is funny, TV announcers whine like babies about how long instant replay reviews take, but then they want one of the refs to come over and explain the call, like that doesn’t take extra time.

1) Happy birthday to the great Bob Uecker, who turned 85 on Saturday!!!

Sunday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Bucks at Thunder – 6:05 PM EST

Milwaukee (35-12 SU, 26-18-3 ATS) owns the best record in the NBA after picking up its sixth consecutive victory on Friday in comeback fashion against Charlotte. The Bucks erased an 11-point deficit heading into the fourth quarter by outscoring the Hornets, 32-12 in a 108-99 triumph. Although Milwaukee failed to cover as 11-point favorites for the second straight game, the Bucks received another monster game from Giannis Antetokounmpo, who scored 34 points on 14-of-21 shooting to go along with 14 rebounds and three blocks.

The Thunder (30-18 SU, 26-22 ATS) are streaking as well after coming off their fourth straight win on Thursday against the Pelicans. Oklahoma City had lost back-to-back games as a heavy favorite to the Hawks and Lakers, but the Thunder are back on the winning track after holding off New Orleans, 122-116. OKC failed to cash as 13 ½-point favorites, but Russell Westbrook and Paul George each scored 23 points, while Westbrook pulled down 17 rebounds and dished out 16 assists for another triple-double.

Oklahoma City is in the midst of an 8-1 run to the OVER the last nine games, while hitting the OVER in five consecutive home contests. The Thunder finish the regular season at Milwaukee in likely a meaningless game assuming both teams lock up playoff seeds. The road team won each meeting last season, including a 97-95 victory by the Bucks at Chesapeake Energy Arena last December.

Round Two: Target Center

The Wolves and Jazz finish off a home-and-home set in Minneapolis as the home squad has captured each of the first two meetings. Utah (28-22 SU, 24-24-2 ATS) held off Minnesota (24-25 SU, 26-23 ATS) as 10-point favorites, 106-102 in Salt Lake City on Friday to improve to 8-1 in the last nine games. Five Jazz players scored in double-figures, led by Donovan Mitchell’s 24 points and 11 assists. Utah started the season with a 2-6 record at Vivint Smart Home Arena, but the Jazz have won 13 of their last 16 home contests.

Now, Utah hits the highway as the Jazz have played one road game since January 8. Quin Snyder’s team has won four of their last six contests away from Salt Lake City, while trying to avenge a 128-125 defeat at Target Center on Halloween night. Last season, Utah covered three of four matchups with Minnesota, but the Wolves are 2-0 ATS in two meetings with the Jazz.

The Wolves begin a three-game homestand after going 2-1 on its recent road trip, while hitting the UNDER in all three contests. However, Minnesota is riding an 8-2 OVER run in its past 10 home games, while failing to cash in five of its previous eight contests at Target Center.

Welcome Back Chris

The Rockets (28-20 SU, 23-24-1 ATS) are likely to get point guard Chris Paul back following a 17-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Houston posted a solid 12-5 mark without CP3, while James Harden averaged an incredible 43.6 points per game in this span. The latest victory for the Rockets came as a home underdog on Friday night against the Atlantic division-leading Raptors, 121-119 as Harden was limited to 35 points following a 61-point effort against New York two nights earlier.

Houston welcomes in Orlando, as the Magic (20-29 SU, 24-24-1 ATS) have lost five of their last six games. Orlando erased a second half double-digit deficit on Friday against Washington to the game late, but the Magic ultimately lost, 95-91 to suffer their third consecutive home defeat. The last home win for the Magic came against the Rockets two weeks ago, 116-109 as five-point underdogs. Orlando limited Harden to 1-of-17 shooting from three-point range, while Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic each scored 22 points in the win. The Magic hit the road where they have lost six of seven games, while going 2-5 ATS in this stretch.

It’s a Rap

Although the first two games of a three-game trip were decided by six points, the Raptors (36-15 SU, 23-28 ATS) were on the losing side in defeats to the Pacers and Rockets. Toronto cashed as an underdog at Indiana with a late rally, but couldn’t come through in the favorite role on Friday at Houston. Kawhi Leonard paced the Raptors with 32 points, but Toronto dropped to 3-8 in its last 11 road games since winning at Golden State on December 12.

Toronto remains in the Lone Star State to face Dallas, as the Mavericks (22-26 SU, 28-19-1 ATS) try to improve on an 18-6 record at American Airlines Center. Dallas held off Detroit on Friday, 106-101, while cashing its fifth straight UNDER. Rookie standout Luka Doncic led Dallas with 32 points, as the Mavs are 6-1 to the UNDER in the last seven home contests. Toronto held off Dallas in its first matchup, 116-107, but the Mavs cashed as 11 ½-point underdogs.

One More in Texas

In a rare night with all three Lone Star State teams playing at home, the Spurs (28-22 SU, 30-19-1 ATS) are back in action after knocking off the Pelicans, 126-114 on Saturday. DeMar DeRozan sat out with a sore left knee and is listed as questionable for tonight’s contest, while the Spurs improved to 2-0 SU/ATS without the former Raptors’ star in the lineup.

San Antonio hosts Washington tonight, as the Wizards (21-27 SU, 22-26 ATS) picked up only their sixth road win in 24 tries in Friday’s victory at Orlando. Washington moved to an impressive 10-2 ATS the last 12 games, including a 3-1 ATS mark away from Capital One Arena. The Wizards haven’t had much luck in San Antonio over the years by losing 18 consecutive visits since 2001, as the Spurs have covered 14 times in this stretch.

NBA Game Preview - Milwaukee Bucks at Oklahoma City Thunder

by Kyle Markus

The NBA regular season is more than halfway over and it is the Milwaukee Bucks who currently sit with the best record. That wasn’t expected before the 2018-19 campaign began but Milwaukee has been one of the league’s dominant teams from the start.

The Bucks would love to keep it going as they prepare for a tough matchup next time out against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is not going to be an easy game to nab for Milwaukee as the Thunder has the look of a contender to the Warriors in the West. Oklahoma City has played well at home this season and will host the Bucks.

Milwaukee has the superior team but the location evens things out. This game figures to have a low spread and be a competitive matchup in NBA betting lines.

This NBA basketball game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Oklahoma City Thunder will be held at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 27th, 2019. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN.

We'll have NBA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for every game of the 2019 NBA season.

Odds Analysis

The Bucks have a sterling record of 34-12 on the season. They have won five consecutive games to surpass the Raptors for the best record in the NBA. Milwaukee has gone 13-8 on the road this season, which is also one of the best marks in the league. The Bucks have a point-differential of plus-10.0 which is by far the best in the NBA, so there is nothing fluky about what they are doing.

Oklahoma City has a mark of 30-18 on the year. The Thunder is in third place in the Western Conference but there are many teams in striking distance so they have to keep picking up wins. This would be a huge one. Oklahoma City has a home record of 16-7 on the year.

Player To Watch

Giannis Antetokounmpo -- The Bucks have taken a leap to the NBA elite because Antetokounmpo has completed his evolution into a superstar. The Greek Freak is putting up ridiculous numbers this season, averaging 26.5 points, 12.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, all of which lead the team.

Antetokounmpo is shooting a sparkling 57.8 percent from the field and also wreaks havoc on defense with his length and athleticism. The Bucks have a solid supporting cast but the team often goes as Antetokounmpo goes. The Thunder will need to game plan a way to slow him down because few teams have been able to do so this year.

Key Stat

24.2. That’s the current three-point percentage for Oklahoma City superstar point guard Russell Westbrook. It wouldn’t be a huge deal if he wasn’t taking a ton of shots from downtown, but Westbrook is averaging nearly five hoists a game from beyond three-point range.

Westbrook is averaging 21.8 points, 10.6 rebounds and 10.6 assists per game, and averaging a triple-double for the season is an incredible accomplishment. However, he is only shooting 41.6 percent from the field and the offensive woes are keeping the Thunder from hitting at full capacity.

The Bucks would love to keep Westbrook out of the paint and force him into jumpers.

Free NBA ATS Picks

A good team at home is hard to beat, so the Thunder won’t go down quietly in this one. However, the Bucks are on a tear right now and should keep it up. Milwaukee would love to finish the year with the NBA’s top record and a road win in this one would be a big help.

The Bucks are the pick to cover the spread in addition to winning this game, as the oddsmakers will likely peg this one close to a toss-up in NBA gambling.

NBA ATS Pick: Milwaukee Bucks 117, Oklahoma City Thunder 113
