The Milwaukee Bucks travel to the Kia Center tonight to face the Orlando Magic at 7:30 PM, looking to extend what has finally become a respectable run of form. Milwaukee is currently enjoying a three-game winning streak, their longest of the season, after a gritty 105-99 win over Indiana on Friday. Doc Rivers has his group playing with a bit more freedom lately, though they still find themselves fighting an uphill battle for a play-in spot with a 21-29 record. Orlando is sitting much prettier in the Eastern Conference standings at 27-24, currently holding the 7th seed. The Magic showed some serious backbone in their last outing, erasing a 17-point deficit to knock off the Jazz 120-117. This is the

Yale heads to Washington, DC on Monday night for a non-conference test at Burr Gymnasium, and the market is pricing the Bulldogs like the better, cleaner team. Yale is 17-4 with a strong 6-2 road mark, and they’re laying 8.5 with a heavy moneyline. Howard is 15-9 and tough at home at 9-3, which is the main reason this spread is not any higher.

Center, and the market is pricing that edge with the Cardinals laying 6.5 at 7:00 PM ET on ESPN. This is the kind of ACC game where the number forces a decision. Louisville’s 12-2 home record is no small thing, but NC State’s offense travels and their recent ATS form suggests they’re seeing the floor well. With a total sitting at 161.5, books are expecting pace and shot-making. The question is whether either

Texas Southern heads to Daytona Beach on Monday night for a SWAC road spot against a Bethune-Cookman team that’s been much more reliable at home. It’s a 7:00 PM ET tip at Moore Gymnasium on SWAC TV, and the market is giving the Wildcats real respect with a 7.5-point spread and a steep moneyline. The handicap starts with context. Bethune-Cookman is 12-11 and 7-3 at home. Texas Southern is 7-14 and just 2-10 away. That’s why the number is inflated. But Texas Southern is coming off a 62-57 win at Florida A&M, and their offense can hang around if they’re getting downhill and living at the stripe.
