Georgetown at Michigan
Michigan is off to its best start in 14 years, but the Wolverines have beaten only two teams with winning records (Davidson and Harvard). Michigan had a chance to add to that against UCLA on the 23rd, but the Bruins thoroughly dominated that game from the outset and beat the Wolverines by 37 (92-55) at Pauley Pavilion. Today Tommy Amaker's team will face another highly-rated squad in Georgetown. The Hoyas have bounced back from back-to-back losses to Oregon and Duke in early December by winning five straight by an average margin of 28.80 points. The Hoyas look like a good underdog pick in this one (+1 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has Georgetown favored straight up by 7 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Georgetown (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.

Minnesota at New Jersey
New Jersey was able to finally get a win last night over the Dwyane Wade-less Heat, but it's been a bad stretch for the Nets as they lost four straight and six of eight prior to that game. In their last home game, the Nets shot just 33 percent from the field and got pounded by the Yao Ming-less Rockets (96-71). The T'wolves have won three of their last four, including last night's 101-82 win over Seattle. Kevin Garnett has led the surge by averaging 22.25 points and 13.75 rebounds over that span. Minnesota looks like a solid underdog pick (+2 1/2) in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Timberwolves favored straight up by 4. Dunkel Pick: Minnesota (+2 1/2).

Vancouver at Edmonton
The Oilers come in having dropped six of their last eight, including a 7-4 drubbing at the hands of lower-rated Los Angeles on Thursday. Edmonton held a two-goal lead in the second period before allowing five unanswered goals. The usually defense-minded Oilers have allowed 4.7 goals in their last six defeats. The Canucks, meanwhile, are coming off back-to-back wins over Calgary. Vancouver looks like a solid underdog pick in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Canucks favored by 1/2 a goal.
