Thanks to a strong 2nd half from Boise State and the Raptors/Pacers game just sneaking over the total, I was able to put together a 2-0 night with my free plays last night. I’m looking to build off that momentum today as I’ve got a couple more free plays on the hardwood for tonight.

Notre Dame +1.5 (-106) $318 to win $300

Talk about a sandwich spot as Duke is playing their 2nd of three straight on the road in Notre Dame tonight. The Blue Devils are coming off coach Mike Krzyzewski’s historic 1000th career win as he’s the first Div I Men’s coach to do that. That in itself creates a bit of a letdown spot, but when you add in the fact that Duke goes to Virginia on the weekend to take on the undefeated, and top team in the ACC on the weekend, this is in absolute brutal spot for Duke.

Notre Dame is no slouch either as they are four spots behind Duke in the polls and have a 13-1 SU record at home. That lone loss came to those Virginia Cavaliers as Notre Dame’s offense couldn’t get anything done against that stout Cavalier defense (56 points). The Irish shouldn’t have to worry too much about that tonight as Duke has had it’s struggles on defense at times this year and they’ve allowed an average of 68.4/game on the road. Duke’s first loss of the year came as 9-point road favorites and while they’ve bounced back well for the most part since then, they lost here in Notre Dame last year and I believe they will do so again.

This spot is just too good of a “fade” spot for Duke, especially with Virginia on deck. There was always going to be a lull after Coach K got to 1000 wins, but add in a trip to face one of the two remaining undefeated teams in the league and Duke won’t be able to avoid getting caught looking back (1000th win) and ahead (Virginia).

Charlotte/San Antonio Over 189.5 (-106) $212 to win $200

These two teams met for the first time a few weeks ago with San Antonio winning 98-93 as 4.5-point favorites. The game managed to stay ‘under’ the total by a single point as neither team shot the ball particularly well. But I believe that will change tonight and with a total that is 2.5 points lower than that first meeting on Jan 14th, I’ve got to take the high side here.

Part of the reason we have such a low total is the fact that Charlotte is coming off a 76-71 win over the Knicks on the weekend ass their offensive struggles continue to show themselves. But this game is on the road where Charlotte’s defense has been brutal lately and that’s led to a 5-0 O/U record in their last five away from home. The Bobcats know they’ll have to score to keep up with the Spurs in this one and they did an alright job of putting in 93 points despite shooting under 40% in that first meeting.

San Antonio is on a 13-5 O/U run at home and need to have their offense running smoothly with a game against the Clippers on deck. They’ve scored 99 or more in four of their last five home games and allowed 95+ in three of those five contests, which is great news considering a 95-95 score gets us this ‘over.’ As double digit favorites San Antonio should do the bulk of the scoring as we approach that number, but I love to back a team ‘over’ the total after a sub-80 point game and Charlotte should pull their own weight too.
