This is a play on the ORAL ROBERTS GOLDEN EAGLES for our Thursday Free Play. Oral Roberts is off to a 0-5 start in the Summit League following a 5-10 nonconference record but that was with a schedule ranked No. 61 in the country. The Golden Eagles cannot win away from home as they are 1-10 with the only win coming on a neutral floor in Fort Myers and while not great at home, they are better and the two conference home losses have come against St. Thomas and Omaha, both ranked well above North Dakota. The Fighting Hawks are off to a 4-2 start in the conference with three of those wins at home and the road win coming against No. 343 NET Ranked Kansas City. One of those home wins was against Oral Roberts in the Summit opener for both so revenge is in play tonight. One factor that is important in these low spread games is free throw shooting and there is a big variance here as North Dakota is No. 327 in the country, shooting 67.2 percent while the Golden Eagles are No. 113 at 74.3 percent.

This is a play on the MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES for our NBA Supreme Annihilator. Chicago has been all over the place this season as a solid start was marred by a 3-13 run  but has gone 12-8 over its last 20 games following two straight wins including a 28-point win over the Clippers last time out after connecting on a franchise-tying 25 three point shots. They are back to one game under .500 and sitting in ninth place in the Eastern Conference but walk into a very tough situation tonight as they are back on the road where they are 7-13 and catch the wrong opponent at the wrong time. Minnesota has lost three straight games, the second such losing streak this season and the Timberwolves responded with a five-game winning streak following the first one. All three of the recent losses have been on the road where Minnesota is one game over .500 but sit 15-6 at the Target Center with five of those losses coming against the Western Conference and they are 7-1 against the Eastern Conference at home. 10* (538) Minnesota Timberwolves

This is a play on the PHILADELPHIA 76ERS for our NBA Star Attraction. Philadelphia is coming off a loss against Phoenix on Tuesday as it fell to 1-3 through the first four games of this six-game homestand and this is a big one to right the ship before the Sixers conclude the home stint with the Knicks. They are now 11-12 at home which is four games worse than their record on the road so they have the reverse splits but we still like the edge here especially when healthy and Philadelphia expects Paul George back in the lineup after missing the last game and has had six days of rest while Joel Embiid also sat out the game against the Suns. Houston is coming off a five-point win over San Antonio to make it three straight wins which concluded a 4-1 homestand which followed a three-game losing streak, all on the road, and going back, the Rockets are 3-10 in their last 13 games on the road and they have an identical 11-12 record on the highway. The Rockets have covered just two of their last 10 games. 10* (534) Philadelphia 76ers

This is a play on the CS FULLERTON TITANS for our CBB Late Powerhouse. Long Beach opened the season 0-4 and 1-6 with the only win being a non-Division I win against Nobel before finally winning a Division I game against San Diego. It was then another bad 2-5 run that included a second non-Division I win but it has been a turnaround for the Beach as they are 4-1 over their last five games to improve to 4-3 in the Big West Conference and that includes a win as CS Northridge which was its first road win of the season after starting 0-8. Cal St. Fullerton went 1-19 in the conference last season so there has been nowhere to go but up and the Titans have done just that as they are 3-5 with quality losses against Hawaii, UC Irvine and UC Davis while winning at UC San Diego. They have dropped two straight but both on the road and they are back home where they are 5-3 and still a buy low team. 10* (844) CS Fullerton Titans

This is a play on the SACRAMENTO ST. HORNETS for our CBB Ultimate Underdog. Sacramento St. had one of the worst early winter schedules as it opened the season 4-4 with the last game taking place two days before Thanksgiving, four games at home and four games on the road, and then it was a stretch of seven consecutive games on the road over a span of 43 days that included a gap of 18 days without a game at all. It should be no surprise that the Hornets went 0-7. They returned home last week and went 2-0 with wins over Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado and while they are back on the road, they feel normal again. Idaho has alternated wins and losses since before Christmas and the Vandals are now 3-2 in the Big Sky Conference following a win over Weber St. They are now laying their biggest number with their biggest game on deck against Portland St. on Saturday at home. 10* (825) Sacramento St. Hornets

This is a play on the SOUTHERN INDIANA SCREAMING EAGLES for our CBB Late Enforcer. Southern Indiana is still searching for that elusive home win against a Division I opponent as the Screaming Eagles are 2-5 at home with those wins coming against Loras and Kentucky St. Four of those home losses have come in the Ohio Valley Conference and against teams ranked in the top seven and Thursday marks the lowest ranked opponent to come to Liberty Arena. These are the value spots to take advantage of as there will not be many opportunities with a legitimate chance to win. Eastern Illinois is coming off a win but it was a non-Division I win over Blackburn and the Panthers have actually won four of their last five and six of their last nine games but the venue has dictated the outcomes as all wins were at home and all losses on the road. The home team is 17-2 in Eastern Illinois games this season. 10* (814) Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles

This is a play on the JAMES MADISON DUKES for our CBB Supreme Annihilator. James Madison has been a big disappointment in the start of the Sun Belt Conference season as the Dukes are 2-5 and this starts a very important stretch. Six of their next eight games are at home after having to play five of their first seven conference games on the road where they went 1-4 although the win was impressive at Arkansas St. The two home games were against Marshall and Old Dominion, the former being a loss by one point which was the first of two losses against the Thundering Herd which are currently the second ranked NET team in the conference. South Alabama is 5-5 in its last 10 games after an 8-1 start and this includes a 4-3 conference record. This includes a 2-2 record on the road with the two wins coming against No. 334 Louisiana and No. 358 UL Monroe in the NET Rankings. 10* (774) James Madison Dukes

This is a play on the CHARLESTON COUGARS for our CBB Bounceback Baller. Charleston closed its nonconference schedule on a 3-0 run and then opened 4-0 in the Coastal before last week where it lost both games, being held to a season-low 52 points against Towson and then losing in double overtime against Stony Brook on Saturday. The Cougars return home where they bring in a five-game winning streak and this starts a stretch of five home games in their next seven overall. Campbell has lost its first two games on this three-game roadtrip but the Fighting Camels have been right there as both losses have been by a combined four points and they head to Charleston on a 5-0 ATS run which puts them on auto fade in this matchup against a team on a losing streak. Overall, they are 1-10 on the road and while some losses were against elite teams, the win was against No. 212 Monmouth by three points. 10* (772) Charleston Cougars
