T.M. Selection: Seattle puckline (FREE PLAY).

The Kraken are 6-3-4 overall, including 2-2-2 on the road. But they're 4-2 on the puckline on the road. St. Louis is 5-8-2 overall, including just 2-4-2 at home. The Blues are also just 2-6 on the puckline in St. Louis. The Blues are off the 3-0 road win at Buffalo, while Seattle lost 6-1 at home to a red-hot San Jose side. With a game at Dallas tomorrow night, I'm expecting the rested Kraken to come out firing on all cylinders this evening. Look for Seattle to remain competitive on the road.

T.M. Prediction: 3-2 Seattle.

T.M. Selection: Pelicans.

It's a great spot for New Orleans here, as the Pelicans enter having won two straight and have had two nights off, while the Spurs come in fatigued after their big win at home over the Rockets just last night. With a game at the Bulls on Monday, I think the home side comes out flat here in the second game of the back-to-back against the suddenly surging Pels; grab the points!

T.M. Prediction: 114-110 San Antonio.

T.M. Selection: Hawaii.

In what I believe will be an extremely competitive battle, but when in which the home side has much more than just a "puncher's chance" in, I'm going to recommend to grab as many points as you can. Hawaii is 6-3 and off a 48-38 loss at San Jose State, but the last time the Warriors played at home they destroyed Utah State 44-26 as 1-point underdogs. Both teams are already bowl eligible and each is now looking to win the division. The Aztecs are 7-1 and off the 24-7 win at home over Wyoming, but last year they barely held on for the 27-24 win in this game. Look for another competitive battle to come "right down to the wire," and grab as many points as you can!

T.M. Prediction: 25-24 SDSU.
