David Delano's Picks:
Grand Canyon vs Tarleton State
GAME: (NCAAB) Grand Canyon vs. Tarleton State 01/28/2023 8:00 PM EST
PICK: Total: 133.00 | -114.00 Over
Grand Canyon has played in 12 straight overs, combining for at least 148 points in their last four games. Tarelton State has scored at least 68 points in five of their last seven games.
With Tarelton State 151st in pace and Grand Canyon 89th in adjusted offensive efficiency, this total is too low.
Kansas vs Kentucky
GAME: (NCAAB) Kansas vs. Kentucky 01/28/2023 8:00 PM EST
PICK: Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Kansas (Away)
I love Kansas in this spot. The Jayhawks are on a three-game losing streak (all against top-25 KenPom teams), whereas Kentucky has won four in a row (two wins against teams outside the top 90). If we went back two weeks ago, Kansas would likely have been at least a three-point favorite in this spot. The Jayhawks are still the much better team and will be motivated looking to snap their three-game losing streak.

Lakers vs Celtics
GAME: (NBA) LA Lakers vs. Boston 01/28/2023 8:30 PM EST
PICK: Point Spread: 7.50 | -108.00 LA Lakers (Away)
I like what I have been seeing from the Lakers recently while the Celtics have struggled with three straight losses, and their two wins before that were both by less than four points. I'm not saying that the Lakers win this game, but for Saturday Prime Time game, I see LA stepping up and covering the number.
Lakers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 road games.
Celtics are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 home games.
