    Analysis

    Either by design, or perhaps necessity, there's some slow-ball being played at various CAA outposts this season. In Drexel's case, probably design, as HC Zach Spiker can't seem to shake his days at Army and a punishing style that resembles Bob Knight's snarling West Point sides from the 60s. Yet it's this sort of uncompromising defense that has fueled three straight Dragons wins, allowing a tick under 49 ppg in the process. and ranked top 30 nationwide in scoring defense. As for Pat Skerry's host Towson, maybe more by necessity, as the Tigers are barely hitting 28% beyond the arc, and off a 34% shooting display that was nonetheless good enough to see off Charleston 61-52 in the Baltimore suburbs last Thursday. Play Drexel-Towson Under

    Picked: Jan 18 @ 8:23pm

    Analysis

    I like Yale in this spot at home. The Bulldogs don't play fast but they do a great job of getting easy baskets in transition. That's why Yale has so much success against teams like Cornell and Columbia that play fast but allow a lot of easy opportunities on the defensive end. Yale has scored at least 84 points against the Lions in each of the last five meetings and have won the last three at home by an average of 25 points. I like that trend to continue on Monday. Bet up to 9.5.

    Analysis

    Jaylon Tyson is in the midst of a breakout season for a Cavs team that has struggled to have the same success they had last year where they finished with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Injuries have beset the Cavs and Tyson has stepped up and is coming off his best career performance scoring 39 points and finishing 7/9 from three in his last appearance. While that was certainly impressive, this is a great sell high spot on Monday versus an elite Oklahoma City defense.

    Points
    Picked: Jan 19 @ 8:52am

    Analysis

    We’re getting a decent discount on this line since Evan Mobley averages 17.8 points per game for the season. It’s because he is facing the Thunder, who have the best defensive rating. However, Mobley could receive additional shot attempts in this matchup with Darius Garland (toe) out. Also working in Mobley’s favor is that this game will be played in Cleveland. He averages 18.9 points per game at home. When he faced the Thunder at home last season, he scored 21 points. Despite the matchup, this over is appealing.

    Spread
    Picked: Jan 19 @ 1:58am

    Analysis

    Quick rematch here on MLK Day from last Wednesday's 119-105 Clippers cruise in Inglewood. There's one significant difference, as Kawhi Leonard, who poured in 33 points in last week's clash at the Intuit Dome, is slated to sit out one more game on this LA road trip to rest his knees, but the Clippers are so rampant right now that they won without Kawhi in OT at Toronto on Friday when James Harden scored 31, making it five wins on the spin and 12 of 14 for Ty Lue's bunch. Meanwhile, the Wiz limps back to Cap One after an 0-4 road trip and with a six-game losing streak, within single-digits just once, and Trae Young's Washington debut still weeks away. Play Clippers
