Chip Chirimbes Sports Handicapper Review & Free Picks

Sacramento at L.A. Lakers 9:30 ET

Lakers (+) over Kings- Well, it's official...The Lakers are out of the playoffs and LeBron legacy has taken a hit. The race to the bottom won't be as successful for LA as other have been doing it longer as they have lost 16 of their last 20. This must seem like a 'Prince and the Pauper' switch for Los Angels as the Kings who haven't made the playoffs in 13 years are favored in LA against the Lakers. But, the Kings still trail the Spurs by 5.5 games with just 10 games to play. Sacramento knows their chances are slim and will fade late here. Take the LAKERS!

San Antonio at Boston 7:30 ET

Spurs (+) over Celtics- Oh, how the mighty have fallen...since St. Patricks Day in Boston the Celtics are green around the gills. They have lost three straight including a 124-117 loss yesterday at Charlotte where they blew an 18-point fourth quarter lead and of course everyone except Kyrie Irving is to blame. San Antonio is now in the eighth in the West playoff seeding and have lost their last two after a nine games winning streak. Brad Stevens is starting to confront his team's play but just needs to look at the Irving and his huge ego which is affecting everyone else on the court. Boston is a mess and this 'line' tell 'us' that they are in trouble. Take SAN ANTONIO!

Denver at Indiana 5:00 ET

Pacers (+) over Nuggets- Both clubs are fighting for playoff position with Denver in a battle for the top spot in the West while Indiana is trying to establish home court for at least one playoff series. The Pacers return home after a disastrous road thrip where they dropped four straight including a 102-100 loss at Denver. The Nuggets enter this fray winners of six straight and are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 trips to Indiana but the underdog is an impressive 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 meetings and the Pacers are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 at home. Take INDIANA!

Chip's FREE NCAA Tourney Winner

Iowa vs Tennessee 12:10 ET

Hawkeyes (+) over Volunteers- Usually I think of Iowa as a slow plotting team be it football, basketball or Cribbage but, this Hawkeye club averages more than 78 points per game just a long-shot from Tennessee's average over 81. Iowa who won big for us over Cincinnati Friday is now 2-9 ATS after that upset win but surprisingly they are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 games on neutral sites. Tennessee has been a streaky team all season and are 2-5 ATS in their last seven after an ATS loss. I may be reaching but it's the HAWKEYES!

Xavier at Texas 4:00 ET

Longhorns (-) over Musketeers- Say it ani't so...done make me give out this Longhorn team, not after the way they failed me in the Big-12 Tourney against Kansas. Perfect spot poor execution and even worse coaching. So, what happens they enter the NIT and become bullies and are heavy favorites against a team with a much better record. Xavier enters Austin 9-1 ATS in their last 10 overall including 4-0 ATS in their last four while this broken down Longhorn squad is 0-4 ATS in their last four and 2-5 SU in their last seven. So, so why, so why are they favored like this against a 'hot' team like this? I would say home cooking and friendly whistles will help. Take TEXAS!

Harvard at N.C. State 7:30 ET

Wolfpack (-) over Crimson- Whenever I play against an Ivy league school (ie Yale on Friday) I feel like I'm making a suckers bet. I can't help but feel the are over-valued and then I see a number like this. Harvard done 'us' good by winning at Georgetown but their play on Sundays makes me believe they are missing the books. The Crimson are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 Sunday games. Hey it's as good a reason as any, but this line is way big and I expect the margin to be at least 20 points. Take NC STATE!

Central Florida vs Duke 2:15 ET

Panthers (+) over Blue Devils- I know one thing, as far as I'm concerned Duke passes the eye test. Watching them is like viewing a different kind of animal. Really, I was impressed but they still managed to keep South Dakota State in the game as they have one glaring weakness that everyone is aware of (if it matters or not we will see) and that is their lack of a 3-point shooting game. Central Florida has the tallest player in the Tournament o UFC is 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games and 12-4 ATS out of conference. Duke is not only 1-4-1 ATS in their last six games overall they are also 1-8 ATS in their last nine games following a straight-up win. Take CENTRAL FLORIDA!

Oklahoma vs Virginia 7:45 ET

Cavaliers (-) over Sooners- Is Virginia doing it again...I mean okay, the Cavaliers recovered from their ACC Tourney loss and their opening round NCAA loss last season in the second half to defeat 16th seed Gardner Webb 71-56 Friday. Oklahoma meanwhile was out of character routing Mississippi 95 -72 and boy will they be surprised at how difficult it will be to score Sunday after approaching the 100-point mark last time out. I can tell you this...this may NOT end up my 'Highest-Rated' play of the day but it is the one that I like BEST! The Cavaliers are 43-19-1 ATS in their 63 games overall. POUND VIRGINIA!

Ohio State vs Houston 8:40 ET

Buckeyes (+) over Cougars- Sometimes teams that had potential and never lived up to it mesh together at season's end. Surly a season with 14 losses is well more than Ohio State had played for but a few wins as underdogs during the tournament puts in all in the distant past. Houston is a monster no question but there are concerns over the strength of schedule and the lack of big-game pressure. Note that they blew their conference championship for the second year in a row after winning the regular season title both seasons. The Cougars are 34-16-2 ATS in their last 52 games overall and the Buckeyes are 5-0 ATS in their last five games at neutral sites. Take OHIO STATE!
