They've lost 4 consecutive road contests entering today, and 6 straight road games ATS as well. Houston is struggling to score on the road of late, averaging less than 92 PPG over their past 4 contests. Since December 5th, nearly half of their games have ended with them scoring 95 PTS or fewer. After starting the season as one of the highest scoring teams in the NBA, the Rockets are 16th in the NBA in scoring. Houston is 11-8 ATS as the listed underdog this season. 4 Rockets average double digits in PTS, with PG Aaron Brooks leading the way with 18.4 PPG.

Charlotte is 13-4 SU at home, including an ATS record of 10-7. The Bobcats are 7-4 ATS as a single digit home favorite this year. Charlotte can tie a franchise record of 5 consecutive home wins with a victory tonight, with defense playing a prominent role.

Kentucky Wildcats at Florida Gators [ESPN | 9:00 PM ET]

Wildcats (-2.5, O/U 152): Today marks only the 2nd time all season the Wildcats are playing a true road game. Kentucky enters their first road conference game with plenty of warranted hype, as they are 16-0 SU. The Wildcats are off to their best start since the 1965 season. Despite their perfect record, Kentucky is only 7-7 ATS this year. The Wildcats have played 4 total games away from home, going 3-1 ATS. Kentucky is also 3-1 ATS involving a single digit point spread. Only twice have the Wildcats been held under 70 PTS, with PG John Wall being the biggest reason why. The future #1 NBA pick is averaging 17 PPG and 7 APG while shooting greater than 50% from the field. Wall is the only player in the nation that can make that claim. Forwards Patrick Patterson and Demarcus Cousins combine for more than 32 PPG this season, with each shooting better than 53% from the field. Kentucky has lost 5 straight games at Florida.

Wildcats are 5-1 ATS last 6 games following a ATS loss.
Over is 6-1 last 7 overall.

Key Injuries - None.

PROJECTED SCORE: 73

Gators: 4 total points separated these 2 teams last year when they faced off against each other. Florida is likely to fire their best performance today, as they lost their SEC opener to Vanderbilt on Saturday. The Gators have slipped up a bit of late, considering they started the season 8-0 with a win against then #2 Michigan St. for a Top 10 national ranking. They lost 3 consecutive games SU to Syracuse, Richmond, and South Alabama. While the Gators are 11-4 SU, they are just 5-5 ATS. The Gators have only played 3 home games ATS, going 2-1. Today marks the 4th time this season the Gators are the listed underdog, but the 1st time they've been the home underdog. Florida is 1-2 ATS as the listed underdog so far this season. G Kenny Boynton leads a group of 5 players averaging double digits in PTS with 14.6 PPG. Boynton had a season high 28 PTS in his last game.

Gators are 2-7 ATS last 9 games following a SU loss.
Under is 8-1 last 9 home games.

Key Injurties - F Adam Allen (leg) is out.

PROJECTED SCORE: 76 (Side of the Day)

Len's Top 5

Happy Tuesday everyone, here's my Top 5 for January 12, 2010 from Len Berman.

1. Quick Hits

Mark McGwire comes clean. He admits using steroids when he broke Roger Maris' single season home run record in 1998.
The Cincinnati Reds sign Cuban lefty pitcher Aroldis Chapman. They'll spread out some of his $30.25 million over ten years.
The Seattle Seahawks make it official. USC's Pete Carroll is their new coach. Carroll coached the Jets and the Patriots in the 90's.

2. 70*

Mark McGwire has finally fessed up that he used steroids. Although he claims they didn't help him hit more or longer home runs. He says he only used roids to heal faster. Well wouldn't it stand to reason if you are healthier it helps your production? At least it didn't take him as long to tell the truth as it did Pete Rose to confess that he bet on baseball. But will McGwire's mea culpa help him get into the Hall of Fame? Sportswriters will have to speculate what a player might have accomplished going juiceless. For example, I think Barry Bonds will make Cooperstown. I still have my doubts about McGwire.

3. End of Story

The long and winding Jayson Williams story has finally come to a just conclusion. He has pleaded guilty to fatally shooting his limo driver in 2002 and he faces at least 18 months in jail. Talk about blowing everything. The camera loved Jayson. He was a fabulous interview and he would have had a long and prosperous broadcast career. Instead his life is shattered. Back in 1998, Jayson drove me to his New Jersey estate and gave me a guided tour of the incredible house he built with his father. Thank God he wasn't showing off any weapons that day, as he did 4 years later, with fatal consequences.

4. Verbiage

So I'm watching football the other night and I lost count of how many times players were "coming off the edge," "attacking the edge," "protecting the edge." When exactly did "the edge" creep into football play-by-play? I wonder about these things. When I was a kid there was no such thing as a "walk off homer," "going yard," or "boo-yah," whatever the hell that means. The older I get, the less I understand what they're talking about. Maybe I'm just getting "edgy."

5. J-E-T-S

A Jets fan in Westchester last February named his newborn son, Jake Edward Thomas Schonberg. Initials, J.E.T.S.
In a related story, Nora Ellen Teresa Smith has gone into the witness protection program.


Happy Birthday: Smokin' Joe Frazier. 66.
Bonus Birthday: The king of all media, Howard Stern. 56.

Today in Sports: Mark McGwire's 70th home run ball is sold at auction for $3-million. Wonder what it's worth now? 1999.
Bonus Event: Finally solving the thorny question of what should we do on a school field trip, the first public museum is organized in Charleston, South Carolina. 1773.
