#733 3* Seattle +3 Washington St 9 PM (NOTE: this is my only CBB play for Thursday. Back Friday by 1:30 PM ET)
LY Seattle returned only one starter yet beat this Washington St team at home and also beat another P-12 school Cal on the road. This year Settle returns 4 starters and 90% of their minutes played. It’s not often that a team has a ‘Game under their Belt’ advantage but Seattle comes in 1-0 off a win against Pacific Lutheran. Wash St returns 3 starters and only 50% of the minutes played while going through scheme changes with a new coach.

View Analysis
Brad Brownell is 16-11 to the Under in November with a Vegas total less than 140...and in the 5 games Clemson and Presbyterian have played in the past decade...none have gotten to 140 or all that close.
Clemson will look to hammer down on defense after opening with a tough loss to VTech...still finishing a dozen points below this total.
Presby is 18-9 to the Under in database history. This total is off by a half dozen in my book...and ready to be exploited while the public backs an ACC home favorite on a slow night!

Holtby v. Goalie Bob
Should be a goal fest tonight in Florida, or at least a match up where 3-3 certainly is no ceiling and both teams can score the puck while each backstop really has survived to get to where each team rests in the standings....rather than look like anything resembling a world beater.
The Caps have only gone below 6.5 once since the first week of the season on the road...and 2-0 with 15 total goals as road chalk. Panthers are 6 of 8 to the Over as a dog this season. This total was set here for a reason and has juice for a reason....and Vegas isn't comfortable hanging.a 7 so we benefit with a 6.5!.

Vegas flat out doesn't know what to do with this CRAZY HOT Isles squad that has now reached double digits with its current win streak. Matt Murray was pulled last time out and while the Bruins are tough competition....it is hurtful tp NY to act as though the 3.5 or more goals they've averaged hasn't also been really damn good.
Greiss and Varlamov have both looked stellar during the stretch so I think the lack of Greiss is baiting folks to fade and take the public Penguins....but that's wrong..
And we benefit again!

Gotta keep my faith in the Subban fade...especially when he faces Felix Andersen on the other end and in Toronto against a team who has handily won their last 3 against the West this season...and the Knights are in the midst of a 4 game road trip...nice win over CBus and ends with Detroit...but tonight and in DC will be the challenges...not one I won't fade Subban for no doubt!

Should be Rinne facing Francouz tonight...in Colorado...and while they haven't even confirmed Pekka to be in net this is a HUGE discount price tonight...and certainly my favorite play of the night. The Preds are on more rest, last hammered the Wings into submission, and the Avs haven't won in November at 0-3 SU and only putting in 2 total goals in those 3 bad losses.
As we said...the luster of early season Avs dominance is allllllllll the way rusted off...and the fact they are THIS close to a favorite in any venue is as I would say....kooky talk.
I will also play this on the puck line...as -1.5 is ALSO a bargain in my book!

SAN ANTONIO -5
OKLAHOMA CITY @ SAN ANTONIO | 11/07 | 8:30 PM EST
6:38 PM
The Spurs have lost three of their last four, with all the defeats coming on the road and by single figures. but two of their home wins so far have been by exactly one basket. The Chris Paul-led Thunder are probably a bit better than most observers anticipated before the season. But this is a otugh spot against a San Antonio club eager for a strong performance and with home-court advantage, Look for point guard Dejounte Murray to break out of his recent struggles and come through with a big performance.

MIAMI @ PHOENIX | 11/07 | 9:00 PM EST
4:45 PM
A couple of personnel moves have made a huge difference for the Suns, who may very well be the NBA's most improved team. The leadership of veteran point guard Ricky Rubio and versatility of wing Dario Saric have made a huge impact. Phoenix's impressive early-season run includes handing the previously unbeaten 76ers their first loss. But the similarly improving Heat have a little more balance and they are in a bounce-back spot following a no-show in Denver on Tuesday.

VANCOUVER @ CHICAGO | 11/07 | 8:30 PM EST

Vancouver is really hot right now and will look to push its point streak to nine games against a Blackhawks team that has struggled to figure it out early in the season. Elias Pettersson leads a Canucks offense that is humming as it ranks sixth in the NHL in goals per game. They're going up against Corey Crawford, who has allowed 12 goals on 104 shots (.885 SV%) while losing three straight. Offensively, the Blackhawks are averaging the third-fewest goals per game (2.36) in the league this season. Ride Vancouver.

Henrik Lundqvist is starting for the second night in a row, and he faces a big test on the road against one of the league's toughest teams in Carolina. The Hurricanes are looking to bounce back from a rather frustrating loss in Philadelphia earlier in the week. This matchup does not bode well for the Rangers, who might be a bit gassed on the tail end of a back-to-back. Puck line is the play.
