Under 170.5 in Florida vs. Arkansas (-108)

The Under is 7-2-1 over the last 10 Florida games, and has also cashed in six of the last 11 Arkansas contests. Florida and Arkansas have two of the best offenses in college basketball. Arkansas ranks second in scoring at 90.3 points per game, with Florida 16th at 86.3 ppg. However, that has driven this total to a number the model views as an overreaction. The Gators have also consistently finished below the market's inflated totals. They've gone Under this total in 13 straight head-to-head matchups, and the model projects the Under to hit in 56.8% of simulations. Back the Under at DraftKings here:

Warriors (+145) vs. Lakers

The Lakers have lost three straight, most recently falling to the Suns, 113-110, on Thursday. Before then, Los Angeles fell to the Magic at the buzzer and lost to Boston, 111-89, at home. The Lakers were favored against the Magic and Suns and only 1.5-point underdogs against Boston, as they've underperformed in recent games that the sportsbooks expected them to win. The model projects that formula to repeat itself Saturday with the Warriors winning as underdogs. The Warriors are 31-28 this season compared to the Lakers' 34-24 mark, but the Warriors are 19-11 at home this season. The model projects the Warriors to win in 58% of simulations, compared to their implied odds of 40.8%. Back the Warriors to win at DraftKings here:

Saint Mary's (+1.5) vs. Gonzaga (-105)

"St. Mary's is 16-0 at home this season, is on a seven-game winning streak, and will be a tough out in the NCAA Tournament," SportsLine expert Eric Cohen said. "Since 2024, Randy Bennett's team has beaten Mark Few and the 'Zags four of the last seven times they've played. With a raucous crowd on Senior Day in Moraga, I think the Gaels win this game by 5-7 points." Back the Gaels to cover at DraftKings here:
