Pick: Minnesota Timberwolves -1.5
The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the worst road teams in the league. They should be catching a lot more points Sunday, but instead it’s basically a pick ‘em. I’ll gladly side with the home favorite because of it. The Lakers are 1-7 on the road this season. It’s seriously embarrassing to watch them away from home because they play so bad. L.A. is only scoring 89.6 points/game on the road behind 42.6 percent shooting. The Lakers are 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games as a road underdog. The Lakers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games overall. The Timberwolves are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 Sunday games. Minnesota is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 vs. Western Conference. Bet the Timberwolves Sunday. -Jack Jones
Pick: North Carolina -21
Georgia Tech has lost 8 of 9 but North Carolina isn’t about to show any mercy. The Yellow Jackets have managed to win 4 in a row in this series, and that’s not sitting well with the Tar Heels. Tech is really struggling and a 25-point loss to Alabama and a 32-point loss to Virginia this month clue us in that this one could get ugly in a hurry. The Heels are 13-0 at home where they are winning by an average of 25.8 points. The home team is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings, and the Yellow Jackets are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 13.0 points or more. Take North Carolina. -Jeff Alexander
Pick: Evansville -4.5
The Purple Aces have been undervalued by odds makers all season and enter Sunday’s contest at 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games as a result. The Indiana State Sycamores, meanwhile, have been overvalued, entering this contest on a 1-10 ATS slide. The Sycamores are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 road games and 0-4 ATS in the last 4 meetings in this series. Evansville lost by just 2 points as an 8-point dog on the road in the first meeting on Jan. 10, and I like it to have its revenge here. Lay the points. -Dave Price
