Big South Conference action here today on the Extra board has Winthrop playing at Radford. The Winthrop Eagles are 11-7 S/U and 12-4 ATS so far this season. They are a perfect 5-0 S/U and 4-1 ATS in conference play. They also have won and covered all three of their conference road games. Radford Highlanders are 10-7 S/U and 7-6 ATS on the season. Radford is also perfect in conference play at 5-0 S/U, but just 2-3 vs the number. The Highlanders have yet to cover a game at home, going 0-3 ATS on the season. This looks to be a very good game with two undefeated conference teams. I like the visitor though in this one. I'm taking Winthrop.

 Big 12 Conference action here on Monday as West Virginia hosts Texas. The Longhorns are 12-5 S/U and 7-10 ATS on the season. In conference play, Texas is 2-3 S/U and ATS after losing on Saturday at home to Kansas, 57-66 as a 7 1/2 point dog. West Virginia is 14-3 S/U an 9-7 ATS on the season. The Mountaineers are 3-2 S/U and 4/1 ATS in conference play coming off a road loss at Kansas State on Saturday, 68-84 as 5 1/2 point road favorites. Despite that loss, they are still 5-1 ATS in their last six games. WVU is about a 9-point favorite here tonight. My numbers have them at least four-points higher than that. I'll take the home team and lay the points here tonight. Play West Virginia.

The Miami Heat are the 2nd best team in the Eastern Conference with a 29-13 record, though they are 8-games back of conference leader Milwaukee. The Heat are just 5-5 in their last 10 games. Miami coming off a loss at San Antonio, 102-107 as a 2-point road favorite. Miami is a nifty 18-1 S/U at home, 13-5-1 ATS on the season. Meanwhile, Sacramento is just 15-27 on the season. However, the Kings have been a good cover team on the road where they are 13-8 ATS and only being outscored by 3.9 points per game. The Heat playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight after traveling from Texas yesterday. That's always tough, especially against a good covering road team. I'm taking the points here with the visitor. Play Sacramento.

The San Antonio Spurs sitting just outside the playoff window at 9th in the West with a 18-23 record, 1 1/2 games back of 8th place Memphis. The Spurs playing the 2nd of a back-to-back spot here tonight after beating the Heat at home last night, 107-102. The Spurs are 8-9-2 ATS on the road this season and being outscored by 2.7 points per game. The Suns have won and covered their last two games, both on the road at Boston and New York. The Suns return home where they are 9-14 S/U and 10-12-1 ATS. They get the Spurs off that tough back-to-back spot here tonight. I'm taking the rested home team here tonight. Play Phoenix.
