4% Take Michigan (#834)
At full strength, I wouldn’t be laying points against the Spartans. BUT, Michigan State is a long way from being at full strength right now. They’ve been able to survive without junior guard Joshua Langford after his season ending foot injury in January. But the injury to junior center Nick Ward – the Spartans second leading scorer and rebounder -- is a killer for Tom Izzo’s squad. And junior wing Kyle Ahrens just re-aggravated an earlier back injury, leaving his status (and his effectiveness if he does play) very much in doubt on Sunday. Put those three injuries together and you’ll see that Izzo has to distribute about 70 minutes of floor time per game to guys he’d rather have on the bench…..
Michigan is 16-0 at home this year, enjoying quite a bit of extra edge at Crisler Arena. They’ve beaten the Spartans by DOUBLE DIGIT margins in each of their last three meetings against Izzo’s squad. They’ve been a dominant ATS team as single digit favorites; 11-4 ATS as chalk of -9.5 or less; which stands in sharp contrast to a Michigan State squad that is 0-fer the year ATS as underdogs. And the Wolverines are finally hitting their free throws – 75% over their last five games – so crucial in closeout situations during the final minute of play. Points worth laying! Take Michigan.

NCAA-B | Drake vs Illinois State
Play on: Drake +2 -105
Game Analysis
*3 Star Play on Drake* The Drake Bulldogs are one of the biggest surprises of the season in college basketball. Drake is tied at the top of the MVC with Loyola Chicago with only 3 games left to play. Drake was expected to finish at or near the bottom of the conference. They have a new coach and this is an inexperienced team. They have bought into Darian Devries' system, and Drake continues to outpace expectations.
Illinois State is a better team than their record would indicate, but after going back and watching their last couple contests, it appears this team isn't putting much effort in on defense anymore. Illinois State might well have decided to focus toward the conference tournament. This is a team that had high expectations for this year, but they aren't going to accomplish any of their goals in the regular season the rest of the way.
Illinois State has allowed more points per possession than their season average in five straight games.
Drake has been faded consistently in recent weeks, and the early line move here is on Illinois State. Those who have faded Drake game in and game out have lost a lot of money.
Drake has all the reasons in the world to want this game, and Illinois State doesn't. Drake also has road revenge on their minds after Illinois State beat them at home earlier this year.
Take Drake.

The Blues are big, tough, mean, fast and talented. Craig Berube is working miracles -- Blues are starting another 9-10 game streak of wins again. Take the Blues.

DALLAS @ CHICAGO | 2/24 | 3:00 PM EST
1:28 PM
Dallas has tightened up for a playoff run by adding a few solid trade additions at the deadline. Yes, Chicago can score in droves, but Dallas is playing “playoff style” and after the crazy run the Blackhawks have had at “over” scores lately they should hit the wall here soon. Dallas is a perfect team to shut them down.
