Los Angeles Lakers at New Orleans Hornets [8 PM ET]

Lakers: LA avoided a season-high third loss in a row on Monday by rallying back for a 105-96 win at Memphis. The Lakers actually trailed 93-88 with a little more than three minutes left, but Kobe Bryant then scored 10 of his last 36 points to help them pull off the win. “We know what we want to do,” Bryant said. “For a young team, they are still kind of searching for what that identity is going to be. For us, we’ve been there, done that. So, it’s just a matter of how well we executed.” LA will be completing a four-game road trip at New Orleans and hosts defending champion Boston on Christmas Day.

Lakers are 0-10 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The UNDER is 8-2 in LA's last 10 games as an underdog.

Key Injuries - PG Jordan Farmar (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 94 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Hornets (-2.5, O/U 195): New Orleans will be going for a season-high fifth straight win after earning a victory in 11 of 13 games. The Hornets will also be looking to slow down a Lakers offense that is averaging an NBA-high 107.3 points per game, and they have held their last eight opponents to 94 points or less. “All the talk is about the Lakers, Celtics and Cleveland, and rightfully so,” New Orleans head coach Byron Scott said. “We are getting better and better each month, and that’s the important thing.”

Favorite is 0-8 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
The UNDER is 4-0 in the last 4 meetings.

Key Injuries - F Peja Stojakovic (back) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 97

Illinois vs. Missouri at St. Louis [ESPN2 | 7:30 PM ET]

Illinois: The Illini have won the last eight meetings in this rivalry series, with the last loss coming back in 1999. They have also won four straight overall, all by double digits following their only loss of the season to Clemson, 76-74. Trent Meacham and Mike Tisdale each scored 15 points in an 82-51 rout of Detroit on Saturday. Illinois is 5-1 ATS in its last six line games this year and has gone 4-2-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with Missouri.

Illinois is 7-2-1 ATS in its last 10 games vs. Big 12.
The UNDER is 8-3 in Illinois' last 11 games vs. Big 12.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 69

Missouri (-2.5, O/U 140): The Tigers are back in the Top 25 for the first time in nearly five years thanks to great defense. They are coming off their seventh straight victory, beating Stetson 78-44 on Saturday. The Hatters shot just 27.1 percent from the field and made only 1-of-17 attempts from 3-point range. “I thought our defense was the constant for us tonight,” Mizzou guard Matt Lawrence said. “If we can put forth that effort night-in and night-out, the offense will eventually come, because we’ll be able to get some transition buckets.”

Missouri is 7-1 ATS in its last 8 Tuesday games.
The OVER is 10-3 in Missouri's last 13 neutral site games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 71



#8 Texas at Wisconsin [ESPN2 | 9:30 PM ET]

Texas (-1.5, O/U 123): The Longhorns are looking to avoid consecutive losses for the first time in almost exactly a year against the same team that dealt them their last two-game skid. Texas dropped back-to-back games to Michigan State and Wisconsin at this same time last year and lost to the Spartans again on Saturday, 67-63. Leading scorer A.J. Abrams was held to a season-low eight points on 3-of-10 shooting and failed to sink a 3-pointer for the first time in 17 games. “Every time I did catch the ball, if I did catch the ball, I was kind of out of position,” Abrams said. “They just did a good job on me. Looking back on it, if I could do something different, I might kind of slow down a little bit.”

Texas is 8-2-1 ATS in its last 11 Tuesday games.
Texas is 1-3 ATS in its last 4 lined games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 62

Wisconsin: The Badgers have enjoyed a lot of success against Texas in the past, going 4-1 all-time in the series. They are coming off a 57-46 win over Coppin State on Saturday despite shooting only two free throws and missing 16 of their 21 shots from 3-point range. “I liked the way we stuck our noses down and ground it out,” said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan. The key difference in this year's meeting is that the Badgers no longer have defensive stopper Michael Flowers, who held Abrams in check last season.

Wisconsin is 3-0 SU & ATS in the last 3 meetings.
The UNDER is 16-6-1 in Wisconsin's last 23 home games.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 61
