Iowa State Cyclones at Baylor Bears (-8, 140 )

The Cyclones are coming off a 69-46 blowout of Texas A&M on Saturday, their second 20-plus point beatdown of the Aggies this season. The win gave Iowa State its best start through the first 12 conference games since it went 10-2 in 2000-01, when Larry Eustachy was coach.

The Cyclones have turned into a dominant perimeter team, ranking first in the Big 12 in three-pointers per game (8.9) and second in three-point percentage defense (30.0).

Iowa State senior Chris Allen has caught fire in the past two games, scoring 47 points, including a career-high 25 against Texas A&M.

Baylor sophomore Perry Jones III is looking to break out of a slump. The NBA prospect had just nine points on three-of-20 shooting in the Bears’ last two games, losses to Kansas and Missouri.

The Bears are 0-5 ATS in their last five games, and 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings with the Cyclones.

Pick: Cyclones

Kansas Jayhawks at Kansas State Wildcats (3, 137)

Kansas State, once viewed as a lock to make the NCAA Tournament, suddenly finds itself squarely on the bubble after blowing a 14-point, second-half lead to Texas on Saturday.

But the Wildcats have won two of their last four meetings with their hated rivals. That includes last year’s 84-68 victory, a wire-to-wire win against the then-No. 1 Jayhawks.

Rodney McGruder, who scored a team-high 15 points in Kansas State’s 67-49 loss in Lawrence earlier this year, will have to come up big for the Wildcats to pull the upset.

Kansas is dominant inside thanks to center Jeff Withey, who leads the Big 12 with 79 blocks. He also has scored 43 points in the last two games, providing a nice complement to Thomas Robinson.

The Jayhawks are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 visits to Manhattan.

Pick: Jayhawks

Minnesota Timberwolves at Orlando Magic (-5.5, 189.5)

An angry bunch of T-Wolves arrive in Orlando after blowing a seven-point, fourth-quarter lead to the Knicks on Saturday.

"We have to bring back our intensity," Kevin Love said after his 32-point, 21-rebound performance wasn’t enough to prevent Minnesota from losing its third straight. "I'm actually happy we're going out on the road. We seem to play better [there]."

The T-Wolves are 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games. Orlando, meanwhile, is just 3-8 ATS in its last 11 home games.

The Magic won in Milwaukee 99-94 on Saturday, but Jason Richardson isn’t going to bury 9 of 11 3-pointers again.

The road team is 8-2 ATS in the last 10 Minnesota-Orlando games.

Pick: T-Wolves

Philadelphia 76ers at Charlotte Bobcats (11.5, 176.5)

Philly’s key players are rested coming into this one. The Sixers dispatched Cleveland 99-84 on Saturday with Andre Iguodala and Elton Brand each playing fewer than 25 minutes.

Jrue Holiday finished with 20 points and five assists, and Lou Williams had 19 points and five assists for 19-9 Philly.

The pathetic Bobcats have lost 14 straight, their last six by an average of 24.8 points. At 3-24, they have the same winning percentage (.125) as the NBA’s all-time worst team, the 1972-73 Sixers who went 9-72.

Charlotte is 2-10 ATS at home. The Bobcats were demolished Saturday in a Clippers’ dunkfest, and the home crowd cheered L.A.’s Blake Griffin as he left the court.

The Sixers aren’t elite, but they handle bad teams. They’re 4-0 ATS in their last four road games against teams with losing home records.

Pick: Sixers

Monday's Best NHL Bets
By Covers.com

Carolina Hurricanes at Montreal Canadiens (-149, 5)

The Habs have won four straight behind Carey Price, who has allowed a total of four goals during the hot streak.

The All-Star has been in net for a pair of victories over Carolina this season, including a 25-save shutout on Nov. 16.

Canadiens left wing Max Pacioretty has collected four goals in the last two games. His former teammate, Carolina defenseman Jaroslav Spacek, poked a bit of fun at his old club.

"Now that the Habs are starting to win, maybe they're measuring fingers for Stanley Cup rings," joked Spacek, who was traded from Montreal on Dec. 9. Spacek's current team isn't laughing when it hits the road this season, winning just six of 27 games (6-13-8).

Montreal is 5-1 in the last six meetings.

Pick: Canadiens

Phoenix Coyotes at Vancouver Canucks (-174, 5.5)

The Coyotes are riding high with a season-best five-game win streak. Coach Dave Tippett's club isn't beating patsies, either, as the Central Division-leading Red Wings and Pacific Division-leading Sharks are included in the team's list of recent victims.

Goalie Mike Smith recorded more wins (four) than goals allowed (three) last week. After yielding just one tally in each of his previous three games, the netminder got even stingier on Saturday by stopping all 38 shots he faced in a 3-0 triumph over the reeling Blackhawks.

The Canucks are coming off a 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Saturday.

Four of the last six Coyotes-Canucks games have stayed under. The under is 7-0 in their last seven meetings in Vancouver.

Pick: Under

Who’s hot

NBA: Minnesota is 9-3 ATS in its last 12 road games.

NBA: Philly is 15-5 ATS in its last 20 games against Eastern Conference teams.

NHL: The under is 11-4 in the last 15 Hurricanes-Canadiens games in Montreal.

NHL: The Sharks are 7-1 in their last eight visits to Washington.

NCAAB: Kansas is 7-2 ATS in its last nine games following an ATS loss.

Who’s not

NBA: The under is 1-11 in the Bucks’ last 12 games.

NBA: The Hornets are 0-8 ATS in their last eight games.

NHL: Montreal is 3-11 in its last 14 games playing on one day’s rest.

NHL: The home team is 0-5 in the last five Coyotes-Canucks games.

NCAAB: Baylor is 0-5 ATS in its last five games

Key stat

36 – Baylor shot 36.6 percent in losing to Kansas last Wednesday, then 36.2 percent in losing to Missouri on Saturday. Leading scorer Perry Jones III combined for nine points on 3-of-20 shooting in the losses after coming in averaging 14.8 points. The slumping Bears opened as 10-point home favorites over Iowa State on Monday, but were quickly bet down to 8-point faves.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Hornets center Chris Kaman (9.6 ppg, 7.1 rpg) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Jazz after missing Friday’s loss to Portland. Kaman sprained his left ankle in pregame warm-ups Friday, and was replaced by Gustavo Ayon. In the previous two games, Kaman had 27 points, 21 rebounds and five blocks.

Game of the day

Syracuse Orange at Louisville Cardinals (1.5, 138)

Notable quotable

"I know he got a little tired, couldn't finish the way he normally would, but his leadership on the floor is invaluable. And that's why sometimes we have to ride him." – coach Mike D’Antoni after point guard Jeremy Lin led the Knicks to their fifth straight win. New York visits Toronto on Tuesday.

Notes and tips

Canucks left wing Chris Higgins, who has 10 goals, 16 assists and a plus-6 rating in 45 games, is expected to practice Monday and play sometime this week. Higgins has been sidelined with a staph infection, which caused him to lose weight. If he doesn’t play Monday against Phoenix, he could return Wednesday vs. Colorado or Saturday vs. Toronto.

The Celtics will be without their top reserve, Brandon Bass, through the All-Star break. Bass, who has inflammation in his right knee, did not play Sunday against the Bulls. He’s averaging 11.6 points and 6.1 rebounds. Bass began feeling discomfort in the knee during the Feb. 3 win over the Knicks.

Kansas center Jeff Withey is red hot heading into Monday’s showdown at Kansas State. In his last two games, wins over Baylor and Oklahoma State, the 7-foot junior has 43 points, 25 rebounds and 10 blocks. “Thomas [Robinson] takes so much attention that it leaves me open a lot of the time,” Withey said.
