Tennessee (-14.5) vs. LSU (-110)

"This feels like a smash spot for Tennessee," SportsLine expert Thomas Casale said. "One thing I look for in the final months is teams likely to make a coaching change. Matt McMahon is probably out at LSU, and I have to wonder if the players are focused on the rest of the season or the transfer portal. The Tigers are just 2-9 in SEC play and coming off back-to-back home losses to Georgia and Arkansas by a combined 41 points. LSU could also be without leading scorer Dedan Thomas for the fourth straight game. I wish the Vols shot free throws a little better, but dominating the offensive glass and getting easy baskets off turnovers should be enough to cover." Back Tennessee to cover at DraftKings here:

Over 157.5 for Arizona vs. Texas Tech (-105)

"Texas Tech has played seven games against power conference opponents that finished with 70 or more possessions. The totals in those games, all decided in regulation, were 155, 162, 182, 163, 140, 167 and 158," SportsLine expert Chip Patterson said. "The thought here is that when the Red Raiders get sped up the totals creep up as well, and Arizona is the most up-tempo team in Big 12 play. Arizona's interior defense is really going to force Texas Tech to connect from outside, but the Red Raiders are currently leading the Big 12 with 41.2% three-point shooting in conference play. With Arizona looking to bounce back from the Kansas loss and Texas Tech desperate to improve its 3-3 road record, count on 70-plus possessions and a higher-scoring affair in Tucson." Back the Over at DraftKings here:

Over 138.5 for UConn vs. Georgetown (-110)

The Over has hit in six straight UConn games, with all six totals set at 136.5 points or greater, including five games set at more than 142 points. The Huskies cleared the Over by at least five points in five of those six games, in large part due to their own offensive domination. UConn has scored at least 85 points in three of its last five games. Meanwhile, Georgetown went Over in its last game, an 80-73 loss to Villanova on Feb. 7. Georgetown has the 128th-ranked scoring defense in the nation, allowing 73 points per game this season. The model projects the Over to hit in 78% of simulations. Back the Over at DraftKings here:
