Dave’s Thursday Free Play: 

1* on Knicks/76ers UNDER 211.5 

The Key: Both the Knicks and 76ers will be playing for a 2nd consecutive day after losing on the road last night.  The Knicks lost 101-107 in Charlotte, while the 76ers lost 94-108 in Cleveland.  Neither team will have the legs to be able to push the tempo in this game.  It will be played at a snail’s pace tonight.  And the 76ers are without both Ben Simmons and Joel Embiid, so they will be lost offensively.  They managed just 94 points on the lowly Cavaliers last night.  The Knicks have been held to 101 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games.  The Knicks are 7-1-1 UNDER in their last 9 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game.  The UNDER is 15-5 in the last 20 matchups in Philadelphia.  Take the UNDER.

6* Conference USA *CA$H COW* on Florida International +5.5 

The Key: The Florida International Golden Panthers have had nearly 2 full weeks to get ready for North Texas.  They last played on February 15th and are coming off 2 straight road losses, plus they want to avenge their loss at North Texas on January 9th.  I like the Golden Panthers chances of not only covering but pulling off the upset as well considering they are 11-1 SU & 6-3 ATS at home this year.  FIU is 4-0 SU & 3-1 ATS in its last 4 home matchups with North Texas.  The Mean Green are 0-6 ATTS in their last 6 road games off an upset loss as a favorite.  North Texas is 3-13 ATS in its last 16 games when playing its 2nd game in 8 days.  FIU is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 home games against teams that commit 14 or fewer turnovers per game.  The Golden Panthers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a home underdog.  The underdog is 19-6 ATS in the last 25 matchups.  Take Florida International. 

6* Arizona/USC Pac-12 *CA$H COW* on USC +5.5 

The Key: The USC Trojans are 11-2 at home this year and should not be catching points against Arizona.  They get 2 key players back healthy tonight in Jonah Matthews and Nick Radocevic, who combine to average nearly 24 PPG.  The home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 matchups between Arizona and USC.  The Trojans are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 games off a loss.  USC is 10-3 ATS in its last 13 games against teams that win more than 60% of their games.  USC only lost by 5 at Arizona on February 6th and now is catching 5.5 points at home.  This is a game the Trojans can win outright.  Take USC. 

7* Arizona State/UCLA Pac-12 *BAILOUT* on UCLA -3.5 

The Key: The UCLA Bruins have improved rapidly in the first season under Mick Cronin and are now on the verge of making the NCAA Tournament.  They get their next 2 games at home against ASU and Arizona and have a big opportunity to add some quality wins.  The Bruins are 9-2 SU & 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games overall.  That includes 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games.  They are looking to avenge one of their rare losses during this stretch February 6th at Arizona State.  UCLA has won 16 of its last 20 home matchups with the Sun Devils.  The home team is 15-5-1 ATS in the last 21 matchups.  UCLA is 10-2 ATS in its last 12 home games off a conference win.  Take UCLA.
