Ole Miss Rebels vs. Florida Gators (7:00 PM ET)
Line: Ole Miss Rebels (+15) vs. Florida Gators (-15) – view all NCAAB lines
Both programs are pretty much equal in terms of firepower, averaging around 80 points each per game. But defense is where No. 24 Florida has the upper hand. The Gators are allowing just 66.5 points on the season, including only 46 points in a win over Charlotte last month.
Plus, this team has a red-hot KeVaugh Allen ready to torch an Ole Miss defense that’s allowing nearly 80 points a game this year, and one that is coming off a 99-76 setback to Kentucky last week. Allen is averaging 20.0 points in his last two games and is 10-of-16 from three-point territory during that stretch.
The Rebels are 3-2 SU and ATS in its last five games, while the Gators have won their last three (3-0 SU).
Writer’s Prediction
The Gators (-15) win and barely cover.
Toronto Raptors vs. San Antonio Spurs (8:30 PM ET)
Line: Toronto Raptors (+5.5) vs. San Antonio Spurs (-5.5); total: 211.5 – view all NBA lines
Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan put on an offensive show in Monday night’s win over the Lakers, which snapped Toronto’s two-game skid. The superstar duo combined for 72 points, including a season-high 41 points from the former. But that’s unlikely to happen again tonight versus a Spurs defense that’s allowing just 98.3 point a game this season, the third-lowest in the league.
San Antonio has also won its last seven home games (6-1 SU), and is 3-2 SU and 2-3 ATS in the last five meetings with Toronto. The Raptors, though, won last season’s trip to San Antonio, 97-94. It should be another close game between these two clubs.
Writer’s Prediction
San Antonio (-5.5) wins it, 105-100.
