Tips and Trends (Updated)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cleveland Cavaliers at Washington Wizards [TNT | 8 PM ET]

Cavs: The Cavaliers have been behind the injury 8-ball this season, and right now their depth up front is being tested. Center Ben Wallace is dealing with a sore back while Cleveland's other big man Zydrunas Ilgauskas remains sidelined with his own back injury. It's a new face contributing every night with LeBron James, and the Cavs have won 8 of 12. Cleveland is 12-1 when C Anderson Varejao has a double-double, and James said: "We are playing good basketball."

Cavs are 10-5 ATS in their last 15 road games.

Key Injuries- C Ben Wallace (5 ppg; back) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 98 (Side Play of the Day)


Wizards (-3.5, O/U 194): This stretch of games for the Wizards is extremely crucial, as they look to stay in the hunt for the playoffs. The Wizards defeated an injured Bucks team last time out, but they are allowing a season high 102 ppg over their last 5. Caron Butler (hip) is expected to return to action for this game, but according to team insiders he may be "rusty" which won't help their defense.

Wizards are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall.

Key Injuries- F Caron Butler (21 ppg; hip) is expected to return, but may be "rusty."

PROJECTED SCORE: 97

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns [TNT | 10:30 PM]

Warriors: Golden State has been playing inspired basketball on the road of late, winning 3 out of 4 on their latest road trip. The team's road play has been so impressive; the Warriors won 12 games away from home all of last season and already has 18 road wins this year. They are averaging an amazing 116 points per game in their last 11 away from home.

The OVER is 9-1 in Golden State's last 10 road games.

Key Injuries- F Chris Webber (4 ppg; knee) is rehabbing his knee and will not play.

PROJECTED SCORE: 114 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)


Suns (-5.5, O/U 237.5): Shaquille O'Neal is playing nearly 30 minutes a game now and said he is enjoying the extended time on the court. The Suns avoided a letdown last time out against the Grizzlies and simply out-ran them en route to a 132-111 victory. The win moved them to 42-22, 1 game behind No. 5 seed New Orleans in the West, and coach Mike D'Antoni said: "Things are looking better."

The OVER is 11-3 in Phoenix's last 14 games overall.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 120

Big East Quarters: Villanova vs. Georgetown [ESPN | 12 PM ET]

Villanova: The Wildcats face another must-win situation here if they hope to get an at-large berth to the NCAA Tournament. They squeezed Syracuse out in the first round 82-63 Wednesday by hitting 8-of-11 3-pointers in the second half en route to a 20-point advantage after the break. The team had closed the first half on an 8-0 run in the final 1:10 to pull within 1 point at halftime. Insiders believe it will take another hot-shooting performance to knock off Georgetown.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 59


Georgetown (-6, O/U 123.5): Some insiders believe the Hoyas will be highly motivated to prove they have been anything but "lucky" in winning the Big East regular-season title. Louisville head coach Rick Pitino even talked about the "lucky breaks" after his team became the latest victim in a 55-52 loss on Saturday that decided the Big East Tournament's top seed.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 65


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big 12 First Round: Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech [ESPN2 | 12:30 PM ET]

Oklahoma State (-4, O/U 133.5): The Cowboys aren't a great offensive team, but that may not matter on Thursday when they go up against a Texas Tech defense that's given up 87.4 points and 49.5 percent shooting in its last 5 games. Oklahoma State averaged 68 ppg in 2 meetings against the Red Raiders this season.

Oklahoma State is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games overall.
The UNDER is 9-4 in Oklahoma State's last 13 games overall.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 69


Texas Tech: The Red Raiders have been terrible away from home this season. Texas Tech is just 1-7 on the road in the Big 12, with the 7 losses decided by an average of 23.7 points. Thursday's game will be held at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, which doesn't bode well for the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech is 1-3 SU & ATS in its last 4 games overall.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 65

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Ten First Round: Illinois vs. Penn State [ESPN2 | 2:30 PM ET]

Illinois (-7.5, O/U 118): The Illini are dealing with a number of injuries, including senior forward Brian Randle, who has played the last couple games after recovering from a separated shoulder. Starting guards Chester Frazier (knee) and Trent Meacham (ankle) are also hurting along with reserve Trent Alexander, who suffered a grade-A concussion and caused him to miss Saturday's game against Minnesota. Keep in mind all are listed as probable on the injury report.

Illinois is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 7-1 in Illinois' last 8 Thursday games.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 63


Penn State: The Nittany Lions won both regular-season meetings with the Illini by a combined 5 points and covered against them in a 66-60 loss during last year's Big Ten Tournament. They are playing with a starting lineup of 4 freshmen due to injuries to their Top 2 scorers and upset Indiana 68-64 in overtime in the regular-season finale.

Underdog is 7-1-1 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The UNDER is 9-4 in Penn State's last 13 games vs. Big Ten.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 56

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Big Ten First Round: Northwestern vs. Minnesota [ESPN2 | 5 PM ET]

Northwestern: The undersized Wildcats have a very difficult matchup here, as they were beaten badly twice by the Golden Gophers during the regular season. Those games were decided by a combined 39 points, with Minnesota shooting 53 and 48 percent from beyond the 3-point arc as well.

Northwestern is 0-3 SU & ATS in its last 3 games overall.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Northwestern's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 58


Minnesota (-9.5, O/U 125.5): Head coach Tubby Smith has not missed the NCAA Tournament in 15 seasons but realizes the only way his Golden Gophers can get in is by winning the Big Ten Tournament. Still, Smith wishes he had more offensive weapons after a freshman led the team in scoring with 14 points against Illinois in a 69-58 loss last Saturday. "When Blake Hoffarber is your leading scorer, you've got issues," Smith said. Dan Coleman leads the Gophers in scoring with 12.2 points per game.

Minnesota is 3-0 SU & ATS in the last 3 meetings.
Minnesota is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 68

ACC First Round: Virginia vs. Georgia Tech [ESPN | 7 PM ET]

Virginia (Pick'em, O/U 150.5): Virginia may be just 15-14 on the season, but the team is playing much better of late. The Cavs have won 4 of their last 6 contests, averaging close to 80 ppg over that span. Virginia is a team no one wants to play heading into the ACC Tournament. "We are definitely playing our best basketball right now but our record doesn't show all the hard work and sacrifice we've put in this season," Cavs senior Sean Singletary said. "I think we are going to make a lot of noise in the tournament."

Virginia is 6-1 STS in its last 7 games overall.
Virginia is 3-11-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 75


Georgia Tech: In their 2 meetings this season, Virginia shot just 14-of-55 from 3-point range against Georgia Tech. It won't get any easier for the Cavs on Thursday. The Rambling Wreck has held opponents to just 21.2 percent from behind the arc over their last 5 games.

Georgia Tech is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games overall.
Georgia Tech is 10-4 ATS in its last 14 Thursday games.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 76

Big 12 First Round: Iowa State vs. Texas A&M [ESPN2 | 9:30 PM ET]

Iowa State: The Cyclones were 4-12 in Big 12 play during the regular season, with just 4 of those losses decided by single digits. They are a team that is certainly capable of coming back but just can't seem to get over the hump, proven time and time again in losing 9 of their last 10 games. "It's really unfortunate that this team just can't quite kick that door in when we're so close," said Iowa State coach Greg McDermott.

The OVER is 13-3-1 in Iowa State's last 17 neutral site games.

Key Injuries- NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 55


Texas A&M (-10.5, O/U 123): The Aggies are on the NCAA Tournament bubble and can't afford to lose this game if they have any hopes of making it to the Big Dance. "We have to go there and play well," Texas A&M head coach Mark Turgeon said. "I think in our history Texas A&M has won one Big 12 tournament game, so we'll go there and try to double that and then see what happens the next game."

PROJECTED SCORE: 66
