Dunkel
Arkansas at Texas
After dropping games to Michigan State and Gonzaga, Texas showed it could win against top competition when the Longhorns knocked off LSU in overtime (76-75) on the 10th. Rick Barnes' team then followed that up with an easy victory over Texas State (96-70) on Saturday. What was most impressive about that win was the fact that both Kevin Durant and A.J. Abrams struggled on the offensive end, but Texas was able to get past the 90-point mark for the fifth time this season behind D.J. Augustin (24 points) and Justin Mason (18). Arkansas looked overwhelmed against Texas Tech (71-56) on Saturday as the Hogs allowed the Red Raiders to go on an 18-0 run in the first half to put the game out of reach. They also didn't show much composure in a 22-point loss at Missouri (86-64) back on November 30. Texas looks like a good pick to cover the Vegas line (-8) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Longhorns favored by 10 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Texas (-8). Here are all of today's games.

Golden State at Boston
Golden State continues to have trouble winning on the road as the Warriors have dropped the first three games of their current six-game road trip to drop their record to 1-9 away from home. Two of those losses (vs. Toronto and New Jersey) came against teams with a lower-rating than Boston right now. The Celtics are riding high with a five-game winning streak that has seen four of the wins come on the road. The lone home win came against a Denver team (119-114) pre-Carmelo suspension. The Celtics look like a good pick to cover the Vegas line (-1 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has Boston favored by 5 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Boston (-1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Columbus at Detroit
The Blue Jackets continued their hot streak with a 4-3 win over the Red Wings on Monday as Sergei Federov burned his former team with two goals and an assist. Detroit looks to return the favor tonight at home, but Columbus has been just as solid on the road lately with four wins in their last five games (the only loss coming in a shootout at Phoenix). Detroit dropped a 3-2 decision to Ottawa in its last home game. Columbus looks like a good underdog pick in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Blue Jackets favored straight up by 1/2 a goal. Dunkel Pick: Columbus (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
