Cleveland Cavs -5
Cleveland has won 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Raptors. The Cavs have won 4 straight home meetings over Toronto as well. Cleveland has won 8 straight home games heading into tonight’s match-up with the Raptors. The Cavs are defending their home court better than any other team in the league right now. This small spread will be nothing for Lebron James and company to overcome following their 16-point victory over the Pistons. The Raptors have lost 7 of their last 8 road games overall. Toronto is 3-13 ATS after allowing 85 points or less this season. Cleveland is 9-1 ATS versus excellent ball handling teams - committing less than 12 turnovers/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons. Cash in with Cleveland as the favorite.

Knicks -4
At 4-29 on the season, Memphis is horrible on the road. The Grizzlies are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games, 2-7 ATS in their last 9 vs. Eastern Conference, 2-7 ATS in their last 9 games playing on 1 days rest, and 4-12 ATS in their last 16 games overall. At 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games as a dog, Memphis has been a terrible team to back even while catching points. The Knicks are 6-0 ATS in their last 6 Friday games (it seems to be about the only night they show up) and 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 games playing on 3 or more days rest. A well rested Knicks team, playing in the Garden should be able to get the job done here. Lay the points.

Oregon +2.5
I think Oregon is the better team here from a better conference. The Mississippi State Bulldogs are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games as a favorite and 1-5 ATS in their last 6 neutral site games. The Ducks are 9-4-1 ATS in their last 14 neutral site games on the other hand and are coming off a regional final appearance in last year's tourney. Mississippi State is only 2-11 ATS in road games off an upset loss as a favorite since 1997. The Bulldogs come in having lost 3 in a row ATS and I don't see them fully recovering from a devastating loss to Georgia in the SEC tourney. Take the points.
