NCAAM
Marquette Golden Eagles
at (20) Michigan Wolverines
Michigan -2.5 (-119)
Marquette is 2-0 after beating Mercyhurst 78-43 and Detroit Mercy 93-32, both at home. This is their first road game.
Michigan is 1-1. They beat Oakland by 16 at home, then lost 85-77 to UConn in Boston. Trey McKenney scored 22 in that one. No. 20 is back in Ann Arbor, where they went 14-1 last season.
Torvik has Michigan by 4.5. The market's at -3.5.
Fair price at the number.

🚨| Josh Hokit discusses how he will react if Ciryl Gane attempts any fouls on him at #UFC334 this weekend. 👀
“If he pokes my eye, I’m gonna hit him in the back of the head. If he hits me in the back of the head, I’m hitting him low. If he hits me low, I’m stabbing him now. If he stabs me, I’m shooting him. If he shoots me, I’m finding his family and killing them. If he finds my family and kills them, I’m going to France and conquering them.” 😭😭😭

NCAAM
Youngstown State at Central Michigan
Under 152.5 (-105)
Torvik has this one at 76-71. That's 147 total, five and a half points under the number.
That's two below-average offenses, both rated outside the top 225 on Torvik.
Youngstown is shooting 38% from the field through two games.
This is their third straight road game after stops at St. Bonaventure and Ohio State.
The pace projects at about 70 possessions. There's nothing here that says track meet.
I'm taking the Under.
NBA Player Prop
Miami Heat at Utah Jazz
Davion Mitchell Over 7.5 AST (-102)
He's cleared 7.5 in 4 of his last 5 games and 7 of his last 10. He averages 8.5 over that stretch and topped out at 11.
He had 11 last night against Sacramento.
Utah gives up 7.4 assists a game to point guards over the last 15 days.
The Jazz have lost eight straight, and Keyonte George, Jusuf Nurkic and Jaren Jackson Jr. are all out.
Davion runs the offense. The assists will be there.

NBA
Los Angeles Lakers at Atlanta Hawks
Hawks -1.5 (-117)
The Lakers opened as 2.5-point favorites. Now Atlanta is laying it.
Austin Reaves is out, and so is Quentin Grimes.
LA is 9-2 and riding a five-game win streak, but it's 4-1 on the road for a reason. The schedule has been soft.
Atlanta has won four straight and is 3-2 at home. The Hawks have 31.5 assists and 44.1 boards a game, against LA's 23.5 and 40.3.
Down two guards, LA can't keep up with all that ball movement.
I'm on Atlanta at home tonight.

Utah Jazz at Dallas Mavericks
Keyonte George Over 3.5 Rebounds (-116)
George is on the floor for big minutes in Utah's backcourt. He crashes the glass more than most guards.
Four boards is a low bar.
