YESTERDAY'S PLAYS
PICKS IN PROGRESS
The Wild are in a mood to stomp a weak foe such as the Maple Leafs. Minnesota has lost two straight home games getting upset by the Rangers and Flyers as big home chalk. I don't see it happening a third time against Toronto. This is a kill spot for Minnesota.
The Maple Leafs have been a major disappointment this season. They are 1-9 in their last 10 games, out of playoff contention and recently lost their team captain and star center Austin Matthews for the season.
Both teams are in action for the fourth time in six days. There is a difference, however. Minnesota has been home for nearly a week while Toronto is playing at its fourth different venue and coming off a shootout loss to the Sabres on Saturday.
This is an early start time between two defensive-minded division rivals. Oklahoma City is the No. 1 defensive team in the NBA giving up an average of 107.8 points a game. The Thunder also rank first in defensive field goal percentage.
If you discount giving up 126 points to the Nuggets, the Thunder are surrendering an average of 98.8 points a game during their last five games. The Thunder also play at a slower than average pace.
Minnesota isn't going to push the pace either, playing for the fourth time in six days. The Timberwolves rank in the top 10 in defensive field goal percentage and defensive rebounding. They have something to prove here.
I like Utah Valley to beat California Baptist in the Western Athletic Conference Tournament championship game. The Wolverines had their scare in yesterday's game beating UT Arlington, 67-65, as an 8 1/2-point favorite. Utah Valley got the rust off in that game having not played for six days. The Wolverines also got used to the small venue at the Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, site of the tournament.
Utah Valley has won 10 of its last 11 games, including the past seven. The Wolverines average 84 points a game, which is 11 more than California Baptist averages. Utah Valley ranks 11th in the country in field goal percentage. The Lancers rank 299th in field goal percentage.
The two teams are next to even in defensive field goal percentage ranking 38th and 39th, respectively, holding opponents to 41.4 percent shooting.
Utah Valley has defeated the Lancers in eight of the last 10 meetings.
