San Antonio Spurs at Dallas Mavericks [8:30 PM ET]

Spurs (-1, O/U 189): San Antonio is starting to return to form with Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili regaining their health. Parker has totaled 39 points and 16 assists in the last two games - both wins - since coming back from an ankle injury. Meanwhile, Ginobili has averaged 14.3 points in three starts since coming off the bench following an ankle injury. “We’ve had two great games, and hopefully we can keep this going,” Ginobili said. “We just tried to move the ball. It’s the things we always try to do, but sometimes it doesn’t work.”

Spurs are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
The UNDER is 21-7 in San Antonio's last 28 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 95

Mavericks (NA): Dallas has been getting a nice spark from Jose Juan Barea lately, as he has averaged 20 points in two starts while helping fill the void left by an injury to Josh Howard. The Mavs have won their last four games thanks in part to the rise of Barea, who has relished his increased role. “It’s just been great just being out there with the guys,” Barea said. “Winning has been the most important thing. My confidence gets higher and higher.”

Mavs are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games.
Home team is 4-13 ATS in the last 17 meetings.

Key Injuries - F Josh Howard (ankle) is day-to-day.

#22 Davidson vs. West Virginia [ESPN | 7 PM ET]

Davidson (-1.5, O/U 144.5):The Wildcats will face another tough defensive team after beating North Carolina State 72-67 on Saturday. The Wolfpack ranked 10th in the nation in scoring defense while West Virginia ranks 13th, allowing just 55.1 points per game. Davidson's Stephen Curry scored 44 points for the second time this season after being held scoreless in his previous game. “He’s not just a shooter, he’s a basketball player,” N.C. State head coach Sidney Lowe said. “That makes it tough when you have someone who can shoot the ball the way he does. But at the same time, if you try to take things away from him, he’s clever enough and smart enough to go to something else.”

Davidson is 44-18 ATS in its last 62 road games.
The UNDER is 11-5 in Davidson's last 16 Tuesday games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 70 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

West Virginia:Cincinnati head coach Bob Huggins has the tough task of trying to limit Curry, who is one of the nation's most explosive offensive players. Huggins may choose to put senior guard Alex Ruoff on Curry after he has blossomed into one of the team's top stoppers, improving significantly with his defense over the last year. “If we tried to put Alex on (point guards) a year ago, it would have been a layup line,” Huggins said. “He works hard now and he’s moving his feet.”

West Virginia is 4-9-1 ATS in its last 14 Tuesday games.
The UNDER is 11-3-1 in Davidson's last 15 Tuesday games.

Key Injuries - PG Joe Mazzulla (shoulder) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 68

Texas has now won three straight since losing to Notre Dame in Maui. “Coming back from the Notre Dame and winning one like this was big for us,” Longhorns head coach Rick Barnes said. “Our guys made plays at the end. When we get settled into our defense, we’re a pretty hard team to score against. … We talked about going out there to scrap.”

Villanova:The Wildcats are looking for their first real statement win following an 8-0 start against teams from smaller conferences. This will be their first real test, and the team is looking forward to it. “We’re 8-0, who knows what that means? Thirty teams could be better,” Villanova head coach Jay Wright said. “We could talk about it all we want. We’re going to know where we are.” The Wildcats have also played all of their games in the Philadelphia area. “A lot of people say we haven’t really had a test, we haven’t really played anybody,” Villanova guard Scottie Reynolds said. “I think every time we step on the floor we have the mind-set that we’re playing for each other, we’re playing for our coaches.”

Villanova is 8-0 SU in its last 8 games.
Villanova is 8-4 ATS in its last 12 games overall.
