The Eastern Michigan Eagles will make the 2.5 hour trip to Mount Pleasant tonight to take on the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Eagles have been sub-par at best on the road, at 2-7, where they are averaging 63.6 points per game and allowing an average of 75.4. On the flip side, the Chippewas have been tough at home, at 8-2, where they have been lighting up the scoreboard, averaging 86.4 points per game and allowing an average of 79.4. Central Michigan will have the edge tonight in points per game, field goal percentage, free throw percentage, rebounding and turnovers. The Chippewas have lost 3 in a row so they are due. The line is currently Central Michigan -2.5 with a money line of only -145 so why sweat the points? Consider the Chippewas on the money line.
TONIGHT’S PICK: CENTRAL MICHIGAN CHIPPEWAS M/L
Monday NBA Pick
The Brooklyn Nets will be spotted 10.5 points tonight when they travel to TD Garden to take on the Boston Celtics. The Nets are the real deal. Brooklyn has won 6 straight and 8 of their last 10, and they have also been covering the number. They are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 overall and, on two days’ rest, they are 8-1 ATS in their last 9. The Nets won the last meeting with the Celtics on January 14th, 109-102. Take the points and run with Brooklyn.
TONIGHT’S PICK: BROOKLYN NETS +10.5
Sunday NBA Pick
The Miami Heat will be at MSG tonight to take on the hapless New York Knicks. New York has dropped 8 in a row and are just 4-16 on the season at home. The morale in the Knicks’ locker room is not good, as the standoff between coach David Fizdale and center Enes Kanter continues. The Heat are a respectable 12-11 on the road and annihilated the Knicks back in October, 110-87. Take the Heat on the money line in this one.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MIAMI HEAT M/L
