The Toronto Raptors come in as one of the hottest teams in the league as they have won 12 of their last 13 gamer and are at 33-16 on the year, which includes a 15-10 mark on the road. Due to their recent stretch they have now opened up a five game lead on the Celtics in the Atlantic Division and their overall record is second in the East. The Raptors have done it mainly with defense this year as they come in ranked 5th in the league in points allowed, giving up just 97 ppg on the year while allowing teams to hit just 44.1% of their shots, which is 9th. The offense for the Raptors has been really average as they come in at 16th in scoring, putting up 101.4 ppg on 44.5% shooting (18th). They are strong from long range, hitting 36.2% from beyond the arc, which is 7th.  
The Portland Trailblazers enter this game on a bit of a roll as they have won 5 in a row and 9 of their last 11 games. Their current 5 game win streak has come all on this floor. The Blazers are now at 24-26 on the year, including 15-10 at home and if the playoffs started today they would be in as an 8th seed. The Blazers have been a rather average offensive team as they come in ranked 13th in scoring, putting up 102.1 ppg, while hitting 44.6% of their shots, which is 14th. The defense has been pretty average as well as they come in ranked 18th in points allowed, giving up 102.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit 44.9% which is 17th. Portland is starting to figure things out and just may be a team to watch down the stretch.

[706)Toronto/ Portland Under 204
I am going with the Under here. The Raptors have been a strong defensive squad this year and the Blazers have really ramped it up at that end of the floor lately as they have allowed just 94 ppg in their last four games. Both teams are very average on offense and neither are really uptempo, which should give us a nice slow pace in this game. The Under is 6-0 in Portland’s last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. This one should be a defensive battle.

Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Clippers NBA Betting Preview & Free Pick

NBA Preview: Minnesota Timberwolves vs Los Angeles Clippers
Written By David Hess (Follow me on Twitter @DavidHess311)
When: 10:35 PM ET, Wednesday, February 3, 2016
Where: Staples Center in Los Angeles, California
Lines: Los Angeles Clippers -11

The Minnesota Timberwolves had high hopes coming into the year, but it has been a disastrous year for them so far as they are just 14-35 overall (Pending the game vs the Lakers), including 7-17 on the road.  They have lost 15 of their last 17 games and are firmly entrenched in last place in the Northwest Division, 22.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is a bad team, but they are also still a young team and they will just look for improvements down the stretch of the season. The T-Wolves have not been a good offensive team as they come in at 22nd in scoring, putting up just 99.4 ppg and on 45.3% shooting, which is a decent 11th in the league. On defense they haven’t been that good either, ranking 22nd in points allowed (103.4 ppg) and 25th in defensive FG% (46.4%).
The Los Angeles Clippers come in at 32-16 overall, including 17-7 at home. That is a very solid start for this team, which is expected to compete for the Western Title. The Clipps have won their last 4 games and come in off a 27 point home win over the Bulls on Sunday.  They are still without Blake Griffin (Out Til March), who leads the team in scoring with 23.2 ppg, while they still have Chris Paul, who is 2nd on the team in scoring at 18.8 ppg. Offense is the name of the game for this team as they come in at 7th in the league in scoring, putting up 104.3 ppg, while hitting 46.2% of their shots, which is 4th in the league. On defense they have been solid as they rank 9th in points allowed, giving up just 103.3 ppg, while allowing teams to hit just 43.7% of their shots, which is 7th.

[522) Los Angeles Clippers -11
Bad spot here for the T-Wolves as they are playing on no rest vs a team that hasn’t played since Sunday and is hot as they have won their last four games, including a 27 point home destruction of Chicago on Sunday. The Clippers have one of the best offenses in the league, but now they are playing defense as well as they have allowed just 89.5 ppg in their last four games. This will be a very dangerous team they rest of the year if they keep playing defense like that. The T-Wolves have played little defense this year, especially of late as they have allowed 108+ points in their last 6 games. The T-Wolves are just 1-4 ATS their last 5 games playing on no rest, while the Clippers are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. THis one has blowout written all over it.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish comer in playing some good ball as they have won 5 of their last 6 games and are currently 6-3 in the ACC. Their lone loss over that stretch was a 15 point defeat at Syracuse, but they bounced back nicely with and 85-62 home win over Wake Forest on Sunday. Zach Auguste had 21 points in that game and one one of five players to score in double figures. Auguste also had 12 boards in the game as well. Fore the year the Irish have five player that score in double figures and are led by Demetrius Jackson’s 16.5 ppg, while Zach Auguste is 2nd at 14.0 ppg and he leads the team in rebounding at 10.1 rpg. The Irish come in at 61st in the nation in scoring at 79.9 ppg, 10th in shooting (49.6%) and 30th in three point shooting (38.6%). On defense they are 128th in points allowed (69.4 ppg), 142nd in defensive FG% (42.7%) and 336th in 3-point defense (38.6%). That part of their defense is really bad.

The Miami Hurricanes come in ranked 15th in the nation with a 1`6-4 mark overall and a 5-3 mark in the ACC. They have also gone a strong 10-1 on their home floor this year and are 4-0 in ACC home games. Miami comes in off a 85-69 loss at NC State, which was their 3rd loss in four ACC road games this year so far. Miami has been a solid defense this year, but not on this night as the Wolfpack hit 50.9% of their shots overall and 45.5% from long range, while the Canes shot under 40% for the game and were outrebounded 36-22. four Canes scored in double figures in the game and were led by Sheldon McClellan, who scored 18 points in the game. For the year the Canes have 4 players that average in double figures and are led by McClellan’s 16.4 ppg, while leading the team in rebounding is Tonye Jekiri at 9.8 rpg. The Canes check in at 64th in the nation in scoring at 78.8 ppg, 36th in shooting (47.5%) and 114th in three point shooting (36.0%).

[529] Notre Dame/ Miami Over 148.5
I expect this line to come down a bit more by game time, so if ya play the over ya might want to wait on it. Both of these teams have been excellent offensive teams and both really shoot the ball well, which should give us plenty of chances for points. Notre Dame will run and Miami has been known to run with team that play at that pace this year. The Canes are a solid defensive team, but the Irish have been able to score on just about anyone, while their defense is very suspect especially at defending the three-ball. I also expect a 6-6 point lead for one of the teams late and that should allow us to get into the foul game. This one has 150+ points written all over it.

North Carolina Tar Heels vs Louisville Cardinals College Basketball Betting Preview & Free Pick

College Basketball Preview: North Carolina Tar Heels vs Louisville Cardinals

What a dynamite game that ESPN has between these two ACC Rivals. The North Carolina Tar Heels come in on a roll as they have won their last 12 games and stand at 19-2 on the year, which now has them as the top ranked team in the nation. This is a team with plenty of talent and is deserving of their number one ranking. One of their two losses this year was without Marcus Paige, who is a huge part of the team. The Heels are not really a deep team, but they are balanced with their top 6 scorers putting up at least 9.9 ppg. Brice Johnson leads the team with 16.8 ppg while also leading them in rebounding at 10.2 rpg and he has 27 blocks as well on the year. Overall this is one of the best offensive teams in the nation as they rank 4th in scoring, putting up 85.8 ppg, while hitting 48.5% from the field overall, which is 20th. They do struggle from long range where they are 318th in the nation at 30.8%. The Heels do play at a very fast pace so their defensive numbers are not great as they rank 151st in points allowed (70.3 ppg), 115th in defensive FG% overall (42%) and 306th in three point defense (37.2%).
The Louisville Cardinals are off to a solid 17-4 start to the year, which includes a 6-3 mark in the ACC, but they do come in off one of their worst offensive performances under Pitino as they were held to just 47 points and a 63-47 loss at home to Virginia on Saturday. The loss was the Cards first home loss of the year. The Cards go about 8 deep on a regular basis and all 8 average at least 5.5 ppg. The cards are led by Damion Lee, who averages 16.7 ppg, while Trey Lewis (12.3 ppg) and Chinanu Onuaku (10.1 ppg) also average in double digits for the Cards. Onuaku is the team’s leader in rebounding at 8.5 rpg and he uses the underhanded free throw when at the line. He still hits just .59.% of his free throws. The Cards come in at 50th in the nation in scoring, putting up 79.3 ppg and on 48.5% shooting, which is 22nd. At the defensive end of the floor they are very stout as they allow just 60.2 ppg, which is 5th in the nation and on 37.7% shooting, which is 6th in the land.

[519] North Carolina +1 over Louisville
I’m going with the Heels here as they are the better team, especially at the offensive end of the floor and they should have some success scoring non this tough Cardinals defense. The Cards are off a rather embarrassing home loss to Virginia as they really played a horrible game at the offensive end of the floor and that offense has been inconsistent this year, which is something you can’t have when taking on the powerful Heels. The Heels have more balance and have more star power than Cards do and they should win what should be a great game.
