Well, what do we have here? We have a team that has been playing some of the best defense in the NBA at home against a team that has been really struggling to score. The Bucks average 96 PPG allowed at home on the season but even that number can be misleading because this team has been playing the best defense of the season over the last month or so. Philly has failed to get out of the 80s in four of their last eight games and they have reached the Century Mark just once during that span. This team has some playmakers banged up right now and they weren’t very good offensively to begin with. We really feel like this team may struggle to get out of the 80s again tonight. Even if Milwaukee gets their share of points we have a hard time believing this one will get over 190. We had this number pegged at 188 and we would have leaned towards the under at that number as well. The under is 7-3 in Milwaukee’s last 10 overall, and with some of the shrinking totals they have faced that is a real testament to the defense this team is playing.

March 18, 2010 By

Louisville vs. California
Free Pick: California (March 19th 2010 – Doc’s Sports)

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #838 Take California over Louisville (Friday 9:55 pm CBS) California played a brutal schedule to open the season but they have finished strong winning six of their last seven games. The PAC-10 was bad this year but Cal has talent, experience, size, and coaching. Louisville had a major drop-off in talent this year and if they do not make shots from the arc, I see them losing this game by double-digits. The Cardinals shot under 45% this season from the field. As good of a coach as Rick Pitino is, Mike Montgomery is no slouch either. Louisville is just 1-4 ATS in their last five NCAA Tournament games. California is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games overall. Don’t forget to sign-up for Doc’s NCAA Tournament Game of the Year which goes on Friday!

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #712 Take Saint Mary’s over Richmond (Thursday 3 pm CBS) A battle between two mid-majors will take place on Thursday in Providence, Rhode Island. The Gaels put any doubt that they would be in this tournament with an impressive performance in the West Coast Conference Tournament Final beating Gonzaga, 81-62. Richmond also reached the finals of the A-10 Tournament but they played two emotional games over the weekend and I do not believe that they will have much left in the tank for the NCAA Tournament. The Gaels have great balance on offense with five players averaging double figures in scoring. They put up close to eighty points per game and that is 10 points per game more then what Richmond is averaging. Richmond did not shoot it well from long range against Temple and Xavier over the weekend going 8 for 26 on Saturday (31%) and 5 for 19 on Sunday (26%). If Saint Mary’s can extend their defense and challenge shots, I expect them to march into the second round. Doc’s Sports has nailed six straight weekend top play winners in college basketball and this Thursday they will release our NCAA Tournament Game of the Year. This is a must have for any big game hunter so sign-up now since Doc has been handicapping college basketball since 1971.

NCAA Basketball: Illinois vs. Wisconsin Odds & Prediction: March 12th 2010

March 11, 2010 By

Illinois vs. Wisconsin
Free Pick: Illinois +8.5 (March 11th 2010 – Doc’s Sports)

Free Play from Doc’s Sports. #843 Take Illinois over Wisconsin (Friday 2:30 pm ESPN) The Illini are squarely on the bubble and cannot afford to look bad for a second straight game against the Badgers. Wisconsin won by 15 points in Champaign on Sunday and that loss put Illinois on the last four in column with regards to the bracket. That being said, Illinois has better talent then does Wisconsin and if they make shots from the arc they are a tough team to beat. Let’s not forget that this Illini team went into Madison and handed the Badgers their only loss this season at the Kohl Center. Illinois is 20-9 ATS in their last 29 games on Friday. Wisconsin is just 2-5 ATS in their last 7 neutral site games. Desperation leads to excellence for the Illini and it would not surprise me if they win this game straight-up. Getting this many points is just an added bonus. Don’t miss Doc’s Sports Conference Tournament Game of the Year (6-unit pick). This play will go on Saturday and we will be looking for our sixth straight weekend top play winner.

Free NBA Basketball Picks for March 9th 2010

March 9, 2010 By

Toronto Raptors vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Free NBA Pick: Los Angeles Lakers -10.5 (March 9th 2010 – Jimmy Boyd)
Off 3 straight defeats, look for the Lakers to send a message to the struggling Raptors tonight. Toronto has dropped 5 of its last 6, with 4 of those losses coming by at least 13 points. Plus, the Lakers should be further motivated by a l-point loss at Toronto in January. The last time the Raptors visited the Lakers they fell by 13 points, and this one should end up at least as bad. The Raptors are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a road underdog of 11.0 or greater (line moved to -11 at some books). Lastly, the Lakers are 14-4 ATS in home games after failing to cover 8 or more of their last 10 against the spread under coach Jackson, winning in these spots by an average of 15.3 points. We’ll take the Lakers.

Miami Heat vs. Charlotte Bobcats
Free NBA Pick: Charlotte Bobcats -3.5 (March 9th 2010 – Doc’s Sports
The Bobcats, normally one of the best teams ATS the last couple years, have seen a drop in their production at the betting window due to recent struggles and we just think the bookies have made too big of a move here in adjusting this line. Even though the Bobcats are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 they seem to be getting it together and two of those wins came in their last two and both on this court. We just don’t have any faith in Miami on the road. They have played pretty well on the road lately but their wins have come against weak opponents for the most part, with only one win coming against a playoff-caliber squad. Charlotte is a completely different team at home than on the road and if they played even nearly as well on the road as they do at home they would be one of the top seeds from the East instead of fighting for a playoff spot in general. The Bobcats have won two straight in this series, one home and one away, and have covered in five of the last six.
