My Best Bets

Valapariso vs Cleveland State - Cleveland State Vikings -2.5 (-110)
Charlotte Hornets vs Indiana Pacers - Charlotte Hornets -1.5 (EVEN)
Boston Bruins vs Anaheim Ducks - Anaheim Ducks ML (-165)

Valparaiso vs Cleveland State

Valparaiso has played decent on the season so far, but the team has not really faced strong competition outside of Kentucky. The Beacons are putting in only 65 points a game, but the defense gives up 71 points a game. The Vikings for their part are under the five hundred point on the season so far, but the last game was an 87-82 win over Radford. The Cleveland State team has managed to get 81 points per game, but the defense has allowed 91 points per game. Now, with that type of offensive action I expect to see the Vikings keep the offensive production up and the team should be able to keep the Valparaiso team at Bay in this game just long enough to secure the win. Check out the full Valparaiso vs Cleveland State Prediction.

Hornets vs Pacers

The Charlotte Hornets are going to face the Pacers on the road and are favored on the spread, but are only even money as the Pacers are favored to cover the spread. Now, I have to say that the odds are about right with the spread and the even money on the Hornets. I think the Hornets have a better chance of winning the game and with such a small spread on tap have a good chance of covering the spread as well. That mainly stems from the fact the Hornets are putting in 116 points per game, but the Hornets are giving up 119 points per game. The Pacers for their part are horrible on both sides of the court with only 108 points per game scored, but a defensive unit that is giving up over 123 points per game. With those factors considered I am looking at the Hornets to win the game and ash on even money. Be sure to check out the full Pacers vs Hornets Pick.

Bruins vs Ducks

The Ducks are coming to this game here as the favorite and with the better home record of 6-1-0 on their home ice versus the Bruins road mark of 4-5-0 it is easier to see why the Ducks are favored. What else does not help the Bruins out is the fact that they have struggled as of late and are 3-2-0 in their last 5 games. The last game was a 3-1 loss against Carolina at home. The Bruins are also getting only 3.24 goals per game, but are giving up 3.29 goals per game. The Ducks for their part are playing great offensively with 3.63 goals per game, but the defense is giving up only 3.16 goals per game. Those factors when combined with the fact that the Bruins are not a road team make it easier for me to see the Ducks securing the win on the money line. Get our full Ducks vs Bruins pick.
