COLLEGE BASKETBALL MIDNIGHT MASSACRE

The fourth-seeded Colorado Buffaloes are a perfect 3-0 ATS as a home favorite of 3.5 to 6 points this season and 11-4 ATS in all home games. 

The Buffs took a loss to top-seeded Washington in the Pac-12 Tournament final but look good to bounce back with a win here as they take on the fifth-seeded Dayton Flyers in the first round of the NIT Tuesday night. Dayton took a 64-55 loss to St. Louis in the Atlantic 10 quarterfinals its last time out. It is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600 and 0-4 ATS in its last four non-conference games. 

Colorado usually makes its homecourt advantage count, and I can easily see the Flyers struggling with the altitude at CU Events Center in Boulder. 

8* play on Colorado Buffaloes. 

MIKE LUNDIN'S LAKERS @ BUCKS FREE PICK

This looks like a great spot to back the NBA-best Milwaukee Bucks as they look to bounce back from a 130-125 loss to the 76ers on Sunday. 

"Tough games like this are going to help us in the future moving forward in the playoffs because every game is going to be like tonight," Bucks leading scorer Giannis Antetokounmpo told reporters after the setback. "Hopefully, we learn from it and when we're in the same situation in the future we can react better."

The Bucks are 12-2 ATS off an upset loss as a favorite this season, and here they'll face a Lakers team that is 1-8 ATS in its last nine games overall and took a 124-123 loss to the Knicks last time out. Lebron James will miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season and is coming off as rather frustrated with both himself and the rest of the team. 

The Bucks won the first meeting of the season 131-120 at LA on March 1 and odds are they'll absolutely destroy this demoralized Lakers team home at Fiserv Forum.

TUESDAY NIGHT NBA TOTAL

Ten of the Golden State Warriors last 11 games have gone under the total. They will have plenty of reason to slow down the tempo here as well in the second game of a back-to-back situation following a 111-105 loss at San Antonio last night. 

They'll face a Minnesota team with nothing to play for and the Wolves have averaged just 103 ppg through their last four games. Point guards Derrick Rose (elbow) and Jeff Teague (foot) have missed the last three games, and Teague has already been ruled out for this contest while Rose is listed as doubtful. 

Under is 24-8 in the last 32 meetings between these two teams, and I expect to see a relatively low-scoring affair. 

8* play on UNDER. 

GAME OF THE WEEK (NBA)

Both the Sacramento Kings and the Brooklyn Nets are in desperate need of wins, the former more than the latter though as they enter Tuesday six games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. They snapped a three-game losing streak (all on the road) with a 129-102 rout of Chicago on Sunday in improve to 15-4 ATS as a favorite on the season. 

"Whether we talk about it or not, it feels like every game is a must-win coming out of the (All-Star) break," Sacramento coach Dave Joerger told reporters after the victory. "Just to have a little bit of mental relief is good for us at this point in the season."

The Nets have some margin for error as they are in seventh place in the Eastern Conference. They have however dropped the first three contests of a seven-game road trip and will be facing a Kings team that is 12-3-1 ATS in its last 16 home games. We can also note that the Kings will be looking to avenge a 123-94 loss at Brooklyn back in January and that they're 23-14 ATS in revenge spots this season. 

10* play on Sacramento Kings.
