DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Siena Saints Marist appears to have mailed it in as they are just 1-4 L5 and just 2-9 L11 in this series. The Foxes were spanked 70-57 at Siena on January 24th. Urgency completely with Siena which features the league's best guard in Pinkett. The Saints have won six straight and lead St Pete's by half a game in the MAAC. Sienna has won four straight in the series and there is nothing in current form to indicate the visitors cannot win and cover this very reasonable number.

DMack Power Pack winner is on the UCLA Bruins UCLA was spanked 84-66 at the Sun Devils three weeks ago but that loss evidently flipped the switch as the Bruins have won all five games since. ASU has won 7-straight and the last four games of the series but seem to be ripe to be picked after two so-so efforts in their last two games. UCLA has won five straight at Pauley and is a tenacious offensive rebounding team that corrals 34% of it's own missed shots (No.17) and will be a tough out in the upcoming Pac12 tournament.

OKC did not get the money the way we keep score but are home here against a Portland team that is having a nightmare season and missing its best player (Damian Lillard) for at least another week and look to be up against it here against the chemistry rich Thunder. OKC is the most profitable ATS team in the NBA this year and Billy Donovan has to be getting a sniff as a possible COY candidate. The number is fair and OKC with a little luck is still in the hunt for a first-round home court in the playoffs. Lay it.

The Bears have dominated the Big 12 to this point and have played exceptionally well on the road. The Sooners have won their last four home games and are supremely coached by Lon Kruger but haven't matched up well in the series, losing four straight and 6 of 7 overall. This deep and veteran Bear team is firing on all cylinders ... finds a way to win by 8-10 points here.

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Pittsburgh Penguins The Penguins have weathered the storm of being without Sidney Crosby for two months and now find themselves just one point back of the slumping Caps in the Metropolitan Division. Sid the Kid has been on a tear since his return and the Penguins are right there with the Bruins as the best home ice team in the NHL with just five losses in regulation. The Maple Leafs are just a 50-50 proposition on the road and playing .500 hockey since the break. The Pens have a substantial advantage between the pipes and the 35 cent impost is impossible to pass up.

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Duke Blue Devils Forget ALL the prior history here ... these are not typical program teams and North Carolina in going to be hands and knees to make the NIT. In fact, the Tar Heels are 2-7 L9. Anthony is back in the lineup and but can only hope to make this competitive against a more talented and deeper Duke team. The Blue Devils have won three straight, are 5-1 on the ACC road, and won't blink at spanking the Heels on their home floor. Rivalry is real and alive but Roy Williams is bringing a knife (Swiss Army) to a gun fight. Duke by 13-15.

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Merrimack Warriors These two met last Saturday at Merrimack with the Warriors winning easily 70-57 for their 7th straight wins. The leaders in the Northeast went wire-to-wire during the week at FDU for their 8th straight win (+1.5) and inexplicably find themselves a dog, catching +2.5 here against the Sharks. The Warriors stiffling defense locked up LIU once ...... Merrimack right back.

DMack's NCAAB Play of the Day is on the Penn State Nittany Lions The Nits are for real and their win at Michigan State during the week was not a fluke. PSU is especially tough at home at will back by a fired up crowd at Happy Valley. The Lions are tough, athletic, can shoot, and really get after it on defense. Minnesota has it's moments at home for Richard Pitino but the Gophers are just 2-7 in true roadies and don't figure here.

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Princeton Tigers Princeton has been somewhat of a surprise i winning 7 of their last 8 games and are 4-0 in the Ivy, sweeping a pretty good Penn Quaker team. The Tigers still have their same M.O., they are an efficient deliberate team that runs it's offense and are No.42 in D-I in offensive efficiency. Not much to recommend on Cornell as Big Red is 2-13 versus D-I teams and 1-3 in the Ivy with all three losses by 11+ points. Cornell knocks down less than 30% of its three-point shots and and is 2-13 L15 in this series. Expect Princeton to bring the hammer down early and win easily in wire-to-wire fashion.

DMack Power Pack winner is on the Kentucky Wildcats Tennessee has to be considered a major disappointment in this year's college hoops. The Vols top wins have come on the road and the Cats have nice road wins against the likes of Arkansas and Texas Tech and will tough to deal with here after getting manhandled at Auburn in their most recent. Kentucky by 10.

DMack's NBA Play of the Day is on the Houston Rockets Houston is not is an easy spot as they beat the Lakers in Los Angeles last night, traveled, and face the Suns in quick turnaround game. The Rockets have won the L10 in the series and have covered three of the last five on this floor, generally having to pay the big Rocket "tax". That isn't in play here thanks to the scheduling dynamics. Phoenix has lost four straight and is just 1-4-1 ATS in their L6 at Talking Stick. Houston currently sits fourth in the West, a half game ahead the Jazz who that play next in Houston on Friday. That said, for the Rockets to make any kind of run in the playoffs, they'll need home court for however long they can get it and can't afford to give away games like this where they are basically being asked to win. Houston 118-107.

Mack Attack Power Pack winner is on the Stanford Cardinal Utah is just 2-6 in its last games but plays somewhat better in Salt Lake where the Utes are 3-1 with the lone loss to Oregon. Stanford is 1-3 L4 after a 15-2 start but is in a good spot to get back on track here against a team a young team that they match up well against. Stanford's No.13 ranked FG% defense is the difference here. The Tree straight up.

DMack's NHL Play of the Day is on the Edmonton Oilers on the Puck-Line Edmonton was rolling before getting cooled 3-0 at Arizona in its last game. In retrospect, the this was a terrible spot for the Oilers who had just finished a home-and-home with Alberta blood rival Calgary. San Jose is just 9-17 on the road and their -39 goal differential in the third worst in the league after Detroit and New Jersey. Like the high-octane Oilers to light the lamp early and often and easily cover this puck-line for an extra 50 cent profit.
