BRETT ATKINS

After getting hammered by 40 points on Thursday in San Antonio, look for the Lakers to play this "road" game against the Clippers and get routed once again.

The Lakers have now dropped their last pair of games by 40 to the Spurs, and 21 at home to the Blazers!

The Clippers have won 5 in a row, and they have covered in 4 of those 5 wins. The last time they faced the Lakers was on Christmas Day when the Lakers upended the Clippers 111-102 as the small home dog. That win was the first in the last 10 meetings for the Lakers in this series, so don't look for the Lakes to extend their series numbers to 2 in a row.

No issue looking for the payback angle to work, as the Clippers take it by double-digits, and the Lakers get routed for the third straight time.

Bonus Play Saturday

645 WASHINGTON at 646 STANFORD 8:00 PM

Take: STANFORD -6

The Cardinal went bad for a while with games missed by the two best guys on the team contributing to the poor performances. They are now back to nearly full strength and off a really good game against Wazzu.

Granted, that’s not the best barometer as the Cougars are terrible. But I have very little regard for Washington. The Huskies are what the Huskies always are. They play a breakneck pace and defend very poorly.

Not that the Cardinal are a powerhouse, but they’re a better fundamental team than UW and they have a better resume on the season as well. Not afraid to give some points here and will do so with the Stanford side in this PAC-12 game.

Virginia vs Clemson

Jack's Free Pick Saturday: Clemson +2.5

The Clemson Tigers are highly motivated for a victory here Saturday at home against Virginia. They have lost three straight coming in with a 70-75 loss at Notre Dame, an 86-89 home loss in overtime to North Carolina, and a bad 63-75 loss at Georgia Tech last time out.

Virginia got its bad taste out of its mouth following two straight losses to FSU and Pitt by beating Wake Forest 79-62 at home last time out. I think the Cavaliers are being overvalued here now after that result, while the Tigers are being undervalued off their upset loss to the Yellow Jackets, who also beat UNC at home earlier this season.

Clemson is 7-1 at home this season with its only loss coming to UNC in overtime. The Tigers are outscoring opponents by an average of 18.1 points per game at home this year. Home-court advantage has been huge in this series as the home team is 10-2 SU in the last 12 meetings.

Clemson is 33-14 ATS in its last 57 home games off a loss by 10 points or more. The Tigers are 20-9-1 ATS in their last 30 Saturday games. The Tigers are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games vs. a team with a winning road record. The home team is 8-3-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings. Bet Clemson Saturday.

Rangers vs Canadiens

1* Bonus Play UNDER Rangers/Canadiens

Seems like a good spot to pull the trigger on the under here. New York comes to town gassed after last night’s 4-2 home loss to the Leafs. The Habs return home after a 7-4 win at Winnipeg and a 7-1 loss in Minnesota. Clearly Canadiens goaltender Carey Price and company will be out to atone for some shoddy work on the defensive end. And note that New York has seen the total go UNDER the number in three of its last four after allowing four goals or more in the first game of a back-to-back, while Montreal has seen the total go UNDER in seven of ten this season after allowing four goals or more. Consider the UNDER in this matchup.

Marshall vs UAB

Bonus Play UAB

The Herd had Thursday's game (at Middle Tennessee State) circled. It didn't go as they hoped, the Raiders winning by a 69-57 margin. Off that 12-point setback, I feel that they could easily suffer a bit of emotional letdown here. That's likely to spell trouble, as the Blazers have won three straight, covering each of their last two.

While each game was close, the Blazers took both meetings last season. They were laying -7.5 points for the game here. Given that Marshall is off that disappointing loss and is now just 2-7 away from home, those two wins coming at FIU and FAU, this line could also easily be a little higher. Consider laying the small number with the surging home team.

Iowa State vs TCU

Bonus Play TCU

I'm backing TCU on Saturday. Tough spot for the Iowa State Cyclones. They're not only off the big road win at Oklahoma State, but have a date with the Kansas Jayhawks on Monday. TCU HC Jamie Dixon is doing a fine job in Fort Worth in his first season at the helm. There are no superstars on this team with six players averaging between 12 ppg & 7 ppg. The Horned Frogs get solid glass-work out of Kenrich Williams, while Alex Robinson gets everyone involved on the offensive end. Monte Morris is the Swiss Army knife of Iowa State basketball. Morris leads the team in scoring and assists, while also pulling down 5.1 rpg. But TCU has the matchups to throw a wrench into Steve Prohm's system, especially in the situation mentioned above. TCU enters on an 8-3 ATS run, including a 4-0 spread stretch off a SU win. We'll recommend a play on TCU on Saturday. Thanks & GL! Scott Spreitzer.
