The Richmond Spiders look to get back to .500 tonight with a road game at Wofford. The Spiders have lost two straight games including last time out at home to Mississippi State, 71-82 as a 2.5-point dog. The Spiders are 3-4 ATS on the season. They have played just one road game and that was a loss to Drake, 70-73, but they covered the 5-point dog line. The Wofford Terriers are 5-2 S/U and 3-2 ATS on the season. They are coming off a win over Georgia, 68-65 on the road, covering the 1-point dog line. Wofford has won four of their last five and covered three of their last four games. I like Wofford tonight getting points.

The Lasalle Explorers play a cross-city rival here tonight at Temple. Lasalle is 2-3 S/U and 1-4 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at home to Villanova, 46-72 as a 18.5-point dog. Their one road game came at Delaware, where they lost 82-85, but covered the 7-point dog line. The Temple Owls look to build on two straight wins with this game tonight vs Lasalle. The Owls are coming off a win at home to Delaware, 75-74, but failed to cover the 3.5-point favorite line. Temple laying 7-points here tonight. For me that too many points for a city rivalry. I'll take the points in this one. Play Lasalle.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers off to a nice start this season at 5-2 S/U and 3-4 ATS. The Huskers have won four straight games and covered three of those four. They have also scored an average of 77 ppg this year while allowing 68.4 ppg. They play their first true road game here tonight at NC State. The Huskers are 3-0 S/U and 2-1 ATS in their three neutral site games. NC State is 5-1 S/U and 1-5 ATS on the season. The Wolfpack only loss coming against Oklahoma State, 68-74 as a 4.5-point dog. They have also played four home games and a pair of tourney games. The one bad thing is that the Pack has covered just one game and that was last time out vs La Tech, 90-81, covering the 3.5-point line. The 6.5-points they are laying tonight is just too many to a good team like Nebraska. Take the dog here, play Nebraska.

The Virginia Tech Hokies look to snap a two-game losing streak here tonight as they travel to Maryland to take on the Terripins. Tech started the season with five straight wins, but have lost their last two to Memphis (61-69) and then last game at home to Xavier, 58-59 as a 5-point favorite. Maryland is also 5-2 S/U but have covered just two of their seven games. They are coming off a loss against Louisville, 55-63, as a 2.5-poing dog. Both teams are playing well overall, but the Terps have not been good at covering spreads. I'll take the road team here today. Play Virginia Tech.

Get an early conference matchup as PAC-12 foes Washington State takes on Arizona State. Washington State Cougars playing well with a 5-1 S/U and 3-3 ATS spread mark. The Cougars coming off their first loss of the season in their last game at home to Eastern Washington, 71-76 as a 19-point favorite. Arizona State Sun Devils are just 2-5 S/U and 1-5-1 ATS on the year. ASU is coming off a loss to Loyola Illinois, 59-77 as a 7-point home dog. ASU not looking good at all while Washington State will be looking to get back to winning after that bad loss last time out. I'll take Washington State here tonight.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are 11-10 S/U on the season. However, they have been one of the best covering teams this year at 14-5-2 ATS. They are on the road where they have done just as well at 6-4 S/U and 7-2-1 ATS. The Cavs have covered four straight games, including last game out at Dallas, winning 114-96. The Miami Heat are 13-8 S/U and ATS on the year. The Heat are coming off a loss at home to Denver, 111-120 as a 3-point favorite. The Heat have lost four of their last five games vs the number. I'm taking the Cavs here today plus the points.

The Atlanta Hawks look to stay above the .500 mark tonight as they play at Indiana. The Hawks are 11-10 S/U and 9-12 ATS on the season. They are coming off a loss at home to the Knicks, 90-99, as a 7.5-point favorite. That loss snapped a seven-game win streak for Atlanta and during that win streak they were 6-1 ATS. The Pacers have a bit to go to get to the .500 mark with a 9-14 S/U and 12-11 ATS spread record. The Pacers have lost two straight games including last game at Minnesota, 98-100 as a 3.5-point dog. That makes the Pacers 3- 6 S/U and 4-5 ATS during their last nine games. The Hawks are 13-6-1 ATS their last 19 games vs a team with a win % below .400. The Hawks have been the hotter team and that's who I'm sticking with here tonight. Play Atlanta.
