Canisius at Marist
Marist has already done the MAAC proud with a win against the Big Ten (Minnesota) earlier this year. The Red Foxes have followed that up with impressive victories over Western Michigan (89-78), Old Dominion (84-71) and Richmond (81-73) behind the senior tandem of Jared Jordan (21.5 ppg) and Will Whittington (18.4 ppg). Tonight Marist will host a Canisius team that has lost four of its first six with the only wins coming against lower-rated Colgate and Youngstown State. The Red Foxes look like a good pick to cover the line (-11) according to Dunkel, which has Marist favored by 14. Dunkel Pick: Marist (-14). Here are all of today's games.

Utah at Minnesota
After stumbling with three losses in four games, the Jazz have gotten back on track with consecutive wins. Utah recorded its 15th game with at least 100 points when the Jazz beat Milwaukee (101-88) on Monday behind Carlos Boozer's 14th double-double (30 points, 13 rebounds). Reaching the 100-point plateau should be a challenge tonight, though, against a Timberwolves team that is holding opponents to 92.4 points per game. The Minnesota defense has been especially stingy lately as the T'wolves have registered back-to-back wins against Philly and Houston while holding each team to just 84 points. Minnesota looks like a good pick as a slight home underdog (+1) according to Dunkel, which has the Timberwolves favored by 4. Dunkel Pick: Minnesota (+1). Here are all of today's games.

Anaheim at Washington
After dropping six in row, the Caps have suddenly gotten hot with four straight wins including their last three at home over Dallas (4-3), Buffalo (7-4) and Ottawa (6-2).

A pair of hot teams squaring off tonight, Anaheim looks to have a slight edge straight up according to Dunkel, but under the goal line. Dunkel Pick: Washington (+1 1/2).

Montana, which beat Southern Illinois (20-3) last weekend, has had some close calls at home against Northern Arizona (24-21), Cal Poly (10-9) and Montana State (13-7).
