*Free Play Under* The Fordham Rams have been excellent at turning games into lower scoring battles. I'm trusting them to grind this game down against VCU. VCU is clearly a very good team, but Fordham has been elite at defending without fouling and turning games into a halfcourt battle.

Fordham almost never gets second chances, and they also don't get to the free throw line themselves. Fordham is a below average offensive team.

The total has gone up here, and I'll side with under the total.

(Huge 20-1 run in my last 21 CBB plays. Discounted NCAA BB Season Pass has been posted. Get on board!) 

Tuesday CBB Free play. My selection is on Southern Illinois plus the points over Illinois State at 7 pm et on Tuesday.

We'll grab all the points we can get with underdog Southern Illinois on Tuesday as it looks to avenge an earlier seven-point loss against Illinois State. While the Redbirds do own the better overall record in this matchup this season, the Salukis have faced the more difficult schedule. Southern Illinois figures to be in a foul mood on Tuesday after it was 'upset' at home against Illinois-Chicago on Saturday. I think the Salukis defense can keep them in this game, noting they've held six straight opponents to 26 or fewer made field goals. Illinois State returns home satisfied after earning a tough 1-1 split on its two-game trip, notching an 'upset' victory at Murray State last time out. The Redbirds have had five days off since that victory and I look for them to suffer a letdown of sorts here. Take Southern Illinois.

Ricky's 1* play on Under.

Key Angle: It's important to remember that Ricky never makes a bet on any game based on just one angle. In order to make the grade, all his premium picks must meet several important criteria. He doesn't share all his secrets within his analysis, instead he chooses to reveal only the angle that he feels is the most significant. Here in this game the recent history of these two teams is particularly significant.

- The Under is 5-2 in NY Islanders' last 7 games.

- The total has gone under in 2 of the Penguins last 3 road games.

- The total has gone under in 6 of Islanders' last 11 home games.

Verdict: Goals should be hard to come by in this game.

1* Bet on Bradley -8½

1* Free Pick on Indiana State -125

Indiana State has the clear edge tonight because their offensive efficiency is simply too much for Evansville to handle. The Sycamores are one of the top shooting teams in the Missouri Valley and they move the ball better than almost anyone in the country.

Evansville struggles to close out on shooters and that is a recipe for disaster against this Indiana State lineup. The Aces give up way too many open looks from beyond the arc and rank near the bottom of the conference in defensive eFG%.

Indiana State enters this game with a clean bill of health and no major injuries to their starting rotation. They have had two full days of rest since their last game on Saturday and should be fresh for this road trip.

Evansville relies heavily on forcing turnovers to stay competitive in conference play. However, Indiana State is extremely disciplined with the ball and rarely gives away cheap possessions.

The Sycamores also dominate the defensive glass and limit teams to one shot per trip. Evansville lacks the size and athleticism to create the second-chance points they need to keep pace.

The line is short because of the home-court factor, but the talent gap here is much wider than the price suggests. Indiana State has the better shooters, better ball handlers, and a more consistent defensive identity.

Expect the Sycamores to control the tempo and use their floor spacing to pull Evansville's bigs out of the paint. This creates easy lanes for their guards and will likely lead to a comfortable lead by the second half.

I like the Indiana State ML (-125)

For my best free pick here on the board for Tuesday in the NBA I am looking at the Dallas Mavericks hosting the Boston Celtics. Now Dallas has struggled lately losers of 4 straight games but they have covered 6 of the last 8 and play a much better brand of basketball in Dallas where they are 16-12 ATS but really comes down to playing them in the right spots. Boston has a big showdown with the Houston Rockets on deck next and I think they sleep walk through this Mavs game. Let’s also remember Dallas will have on additional day of rest which should benefit this team late in this contest. 

Play on the Dallas Mavericks plus the points rotation #570
