    Inside the Stats
    By Marc Lawrence
    VegasInsider.com

    Let's take a look at what's happening on the hardwood as we enter this weekend. All results are ATS (Against The Spread) through February 5 unless noted otherwise.

    Good Guise

    With less than six weeks remaining on the regular season portion of the 2013-14 College Basketball campaign, and the NCAA and other postseason tournaments just around the corner, it's time to analyze how teams have fared this season on games versus winning teams.

    One team stands head and shoulders above all others in games against opponents sporting a winning record: Wichita State. The Shockers are 10-0 SU and 9-1 ATS in game against Division-1 foes with more wins than losses.

    It should be noted Virginia is cooking of late against the same, taking a 7-1 SU and 8-0 ATS mark in its last games against winners into Monday's meeting with Maryland.

    On the flip side, a handful of teams have really struggled in contests against winning opposition this season, namely: Cal Irvine 1-7 SUATS, Colorado State 2-8 SUATS, James Madison 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS, Louisiana Lafayette 1-6 SUATS and Towson State 1-5 ATS.

    Bad Guise

    Teams who have dominated losing opponents this season include: Fordham 4-0 SUATS, Iowa 4-0 SUATS, Long Beach State 5-1 SUATS, Stanford 4-0 SUATS, TCU 4-0 ATS and Valparaiso 5-0 SUATS.

    Finally, this contingent has consistently played down to the level of opposition: Central Florida 0-4 ATS, Fullerton State 1-5 SUATS, Indiana State 0-5 ATS, Loyola Chicago 1-5-1 ATS, NC Wilmington 0-6 SUATS, South Alabama 1-5 SUATS, Western Michigan 1-6 ATS and Wright State 0-5 ATS.

    Putting On The 'D'

    Listed below are the Top 5 college hoops teams on the defensive front, in Defensive Field Goal percentage and Rebound Margin. Look to 'play on' these teams in either revenge or underdog roles:

    Defensive Field Goal Percentage
    1. SMU 37.2
    2. Arizona 37.6
    3. Southern 37.6
    4. Florida State 37.7
    5. Clemson 37.8

    Rebounding Margin
    1. Quinnipiac +12.1
    2. Indiana +11.0
    3. Iowa +10.9
    4. Arizona +10.9
    5. Kentucky +10.6

    Here is a list of the Top 5 NBA defensive teams:

    Scoring Defense
    1. Pacers 90.2
    2. Bulls 92.8
    3. Grizzlies 95.3
    4. Raptors 96.6
    5. Bobcats 96.9

    Rebounding Margin
    1. Thunder +5.2
    2. Pacers +4.9
    3. Trailblazers +3.7
    4. Grizzlies +3.0
    5. Warriors +3.0

    Big Ugly Dogs

    In a season gone sour, the Milwaukee Bucks have been the league's biggest money burner as double-digit dogs this campaign, gone 2-10 ATS.

    Conversely, the Phoenix Suns have enjoyed a reversal of fortune in more ways than one this season, leading the league as double-digit dogs at 4-1 ATS.

    Meanwhile, double-digit dogs have struggled league wide at home, going just 5-10 ATS, including 0-7 ATS when playing off a pair of losses.

    Double-digit dogs have been at their best in conference play, going 31-21-2 ATS, including 4-1 ATS versus non-rested foes.

    Stat Of The Week

    Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon is 14-1 ATS in his career when playing with same season loss revenge of 6 or more points versus a sub .720 opponent.

      Game of the Day: Trail Blazers at Pacers
      Covers.com

      Portland Trail Blazers at Indiana Pacers (-5.5, 195)

      If the Portland Trail Blazers thought their offensive struggles were bad in their previous four games, they could be in for a jarring surprise Friday night as they visit the Indiana Pacers in a meeting between the NBA's top offense and No. 1 defense. The Trail Blazers have been the class of the NBA in the scoring department, but have failed to crack 95 points in three of their last four games. Indiana will provide a stiff test, allowing a league-low 90.2 points per game.

      The Blazers didn't need to reach their 107.7-points-per-game average in their last encounter, doing just enough to slip past the host New York Knicks 94-90. Nicolas Batum's 20 points and 10 rebounds made the difference on a night where fringe MVP candidate LaMarcus Aldridge struggled with his shot and the Portland bench shot just 5-of-16 from the floor. Indiana has won three straight games and is a league-best 23-2 at Bankers Life Stadium so far.

      LINE HISTORY: The Pacers opened at -5.5 and have climbed to -6 at some books. The total has moved from 197 to 195.

      POWER RANKINGS: Portland (-10.0) - Indiana (-14.0) + Home court (-3.0) = Indiana -7

      INJURY WATCH: Pacers - Lance Stephenson (Back - Questionable). Trail Blazers - None

      WHY BET PORTLAND (35-14 SU, 26-23 ATS, 30-18-1 O/U): Even the most casual NBA fan will recognize Portland point guard Damian Lillard as one of the most versatile at his position. He'll get a chance to show just how varied his skills are when he participates in what will be the busiest All-Star Weekend in league history. In addition to taking part in the All-Star Game, the rookie/sophomore and the skills challenge, Lillard has confirmed participation in the dunk contest and will also take part in the 3-point shootout.

      WHY BET INDIANA (38-10 SU, 31-17 ATS, 19-28-1 O/U): Indiana star Paul George will join Lillard in the dunk competition, but not everyone is happy about his participation. Teammate Roy Hibbert, who will also suit up for the Eastern Conference in the All-Star Game, doesn't think George should bother with the contest. "I don't think Paul should do it, to tell you the truth," Hibbert told the Indianapolis Star. "He's doing the stuff in the games to show why he could've won it two years ago. I think he's been there/done that."

      TRENDS:

      * Home team is 5-0 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
      * Favorite is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.
      * Under is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
      * Trail Blazers are 5-14 ATS in the last 19 meetings.

      CONSENSUS: 53 percent of bets are on the Pacers -5.5 while 54 percent are on the Under 195.

        Friday's NBA Tips
        By Kevin Rogers
        VegasInsider.com

        Blazers at Pacers

        Portland: 35-14 SU, 26-23 ATS
        Indiana: 38-10 SU, 31-17 ATS

        It hasn't been stated much this season, but the Pacers are playing with revenge on Friday night against the Blazers. The last time these teams hooked up at the Moda Center in early December, Portland outlasted Indiana, 106-102, as Paul George went off for 43 points in the defeat. The Blazers have lost three straight visits to Indianapolis, as the Pacers have covered each time as a short favorite. Portland snapped a four-game road skid in Wednesday's 94-90 triumph at New York, the fourth consecutive away game in which it has scored below 97 points.

        The Pacers are riding a three-game winning streak following Tuesday's 89-85 victory at Atlanta as three-point favorites. In the win, Pacers' sparkplug Lance Stephenson left the game with a back injury and is listed as questionable for Friday's action. Indiana owns a terrific 11-0 SU and 9-2 ATS record as a single-digit home favorite this season, with coincidentally both non-covers coming against Toronto. Frank Vogel's club is 4-2 to the 'over' the last six home games, while holding five of those opponents to below 96 points.

        Thunder at Magic

        Oklahoma City: 40-11 SU, 30-21 ATS
        Orlando: 14-37 SU, 21-30 ATS

        Two teams from opposite sides of the NBA spectrum hook up in central Florida as the Thunder go for their 13th win in 14 tries. Oklahoma City swept a mini two-game homestand against Memphis and Minnesota, while improving to 10-3 ATS in the last 13 trips to the court. Now, the Thunder will try to continue their road dominance after capturing six victories in their past seven away contests, as OKC goes for its third straight win at Amway Arena since 2012.

        Orlando has actually fared well at home of late, covering six of its last seven, while winning three consecutive home contests overall. The Magic dominated the Pistons on Wednesday, 112-98 as 2½-point home 'dogs, but Orlando has beaten just two teams at Amway Arena that currently sit above the .500 mark (Clippers and Hawks). Since starting the season at 3-0 ATS as a home 'dog, the Magic is just 4-7 ATS the last 11 opportunities when receiving points at home. The Magic hung with the Thunder in their previous meeting at OKC, falling 101-98 in December as 13-point underdogs.

        Wolves at Pelicans

        Minnesota: 24-25 SU, 26-23 ATS
        New Orleans: 21-27 SU, 22-24-2 ATS

        The Wolves played without Kevin Love in Wednesday's 106-97 defeat at Oklahoma City as 12 ½-point underdogs, as Minnesota hopes to get its leading scorer back on Friday night. Love suffered a bruised tailbone in Tuesday's home victory over the Lakers, the only win in a four-game stretch for Minnesota. The Wolves are a perfect 2-0 SU/ATS this season against the Pelicans with both victories coming at the Target Center, including an 88-77 triumph in late January as 10½-point favorites.

        The Pelicans close out a four-game homestand after rallying past the Hawks on Wednesday, 105-100 to cash as 2½-point favorites. New Orleans is looking to seek consistency as the Pelicans have alternated wins and losses in each of their last five contests, while last winning successive home games in mid-December. Monty Williams' club has compiled a solid 9-4 ATS record the last 13 games overall, but is just 2-4 ATS in the previous six opportunities as a home 'dog.

        Raptors at Clippers

        Toronto: 26-23 SU, 30-19 ATS
        Los Angeles: 34-18 SU, 29-23 ATS

        The Raptors conclude their five-game Western Conference road swing in Southern California on Friday, as Toronto battles Los Angeles. On Wednesday night, the Raps fell short in a 109-101 defeat at Sacramento as short 'dogs, as Toronto dropped to 5-9 this season off a road win, coming off Monday's victory at Utah. Dwane Casey's team is in a profitable spot on Friday, as the Raptors own an incredible 9-3 SU and 11-1 ATS record off a road defeat this season.

        The Clippers' rally fell short in Wednesday's 116-112 home setback to the Heat as short underdogs, the second straight loss for Los Angeles. Doc Rivers' squad hasn't lost three consecutive games yet this season, but the Clips are just 1-4 ATS the past five contests. The loss to the Heat snapped a seven-game winning streak at Staples Center for the Clips, dropping L.A. to 2-4 ATS the past six home games against Eastern Conference foes. The Clips go for the season sweep of the Raptors after outlasting Toronto, 126-118 on January 25, while Los Angeles has won each of the last three home matchups with Toronto.

            Friday's Big East Tips
            By David Schwab
            VegasInsider.com

            The re-tooled Big East heads into this weekend’s games with two teams in the national rankings and both happen to be in action this Friday. The surprising No. 6 Villanova Wildcats will play host to Seton Hall and later that night No. 12 Creighton will welcome DePaul to CenturyLink Center Omaha.

            Seton Hall Pirates at No. 6 Villanova Wildcats

            The Pirates have already lost to Villanova this season as part of a 4-5 straight up record in conference play. They failed to cover as eight-point home underdogs in a 83-67 loss to the Wildcats on Jan. 8 and the total went OVER the 141-point line. They have alternated SU losses and wins ever since, but remain a decent team to bet on at 5-1 against the spread in the last six outings. Seton Hall is 11-10 ATS overall this season and the total has gone OVER in 13 of the 21 games. The total trend has reversed itself lately by staying UNDER in four of its last six contests.

            Consistency on defense has been an issue for the Pirates this season and on average they are allowing 70.7 points a game. They have done a better job as of late by holding teams to less than this total in five of their last six games. Seton Hall is averaging 75.5 PPG, but it has only exceeded this total twice in its last eight games, which helps explain the turnaround on the total line.

            Villanova only has two SU losses against 20 victories this season and one of those setbacks was to No. 1 Syracuse in late December. The other loss was a stunning 96-68 beatdown at the hands of Creighton as a 6½-point home favorite on Jan. 20. The Wildcats have won five of their other eight conference games by double digits and are tied with the Bluejays at 8-1 in the Big East. They have also been a solid bet lately with a 7-2 record ATS in their last nine games to improve to profitable 15-5 ATS on the year. The total has gone OVER in 14 of 20 games overall, but in just five of nine home games.

            Behind James Bell and JayVaughn Pinkston the Wildcats are averaging 80.9 PPG. Bell is the team’s leading scorer (15.8 PPG) and its best pure shooter from outside; hitting 39.1 percent from 3-point range. Pinkston is second in both points (14.7) and rebounds (5.7). The last time that Villanova won 20 of its first 22 games it earned a No. 2 seed in the 2010 NCAA Tournament but made an early exit. In the 2005/2006 season the Wildcats started 20-2 and ended up going all the way to the Elite 8.

            Villanova has been opened as a hefty 13½-point favorite over the Pirates for Friday’s clash.

            Before this season’s loss both SU and ATS, the Pirates had covered in five of the last six meetings. The total has gone OVER in seven of the last 10 games between these two.

            DePaul Blue Demons at No. 12 Creighton Bluejays

            DePaul finds itself as one of the bottom feeders in the Big East with just two SU wins in its first eight conference games. It is 10-13 SU overall with a 10-12 record ATS. It comes into this matchup with five straight losses and a 1-4 record versus the number during this skid. This will be its second go-round against the Bluejays after getting blown-out 81-62 on Jan. 7 as a 10-point underdog at home. The total stayed UNDER the 144 ½-point line in that game, but it has gone OVER in six of the Blue Demon’s last seven games.

            Making matters worse for the back-end of this season series is the 'questionable' playing status of arguably DePaul’s best player Cleveland Melvin (16.7 PPG, 6.4 RPG). He was suspended from the team for undisclosed reasons and has now sat out the last three games. Even with him in the lineup, a Blue Demons’ defense that has allowed an average of 74.3 PPG this season has been the primary reason for this team’s dismal record.

            Creighton came over from the Missouri Valley Conference this season and has made itself right at home in its new surroundings. Its only conference loss was an unexpected 81-68 letdown against Providence as a four-point road favorite on Jan. 18. The Bluejays are 18-3 SU on the year with a 13-6 ATS mark. They have covered in seven of 10 home games this season and the total has stayed UNDER in six of those contests. They are 6-3 ATS in the Big East and the total has gone OVER in five of the nine games.

            This team’s success this season has revolved around the stellar play of All-American senior forward Doug McDermott. He is the second-highest scorer in the nation with 25 PPGand he is shooting 50 percent from the field and 43.9 percent from 3-point range. Creighton is another high-scoring team with 81.3 PPG, but it has also done a pretty good job on the other end of the court by holding teams to 65.6 PPG. It has also held its own under the boards with 36.7 RPG.

            Melvin’s availability for Friday’s game remains up in the air, but that has not stopped Creighton opening up as a prohibitive 21-point favorite for this game. However, the early move was on the underdog and the line dropped to 19½-points.

            Counting this season, these two have met four times since 2005 with Creighton winning the last three. The closest game between these two was the Bluejays’ 83-75 victory in 2008 in a game that had no posted line.
