Marquette Golden Eagles at Connecticut Huskies (-2, 139)

Struggling UConn needs another strong game from freshman center Andre Drummond and junior Alex Oriakhi against undersized Marquette, which has been without 6-foot-11 center Chris Otule (torn ACL) for most of the season.

The Golden Eagles will spread the Huskies out with a 4-out, 1-in motion offense to take advantage of UConn's porous perimeter defense. The Golden Eagles lead the Big East in assists (17.5) and are second in scoring (76.7).

The roles are reversed from last season when it was Buzz Williams’ team that needed a quality win to boost its NCAA Tournament chances. Darius Johnson-Odom scored nine of his 17 points in overtime and Marquette left Hartford with a 74-67 win over then-No. 14 UConn.

Oriahki had 12 points and 15 rebounds.The Golden Eagles have won nine of 10 by using their helter-skelter style to wreak havoc on opponents. Marquette, which is third in the Big East in steals (8.8), scored 25 points off 14 turnovers in Saturday’s win 95-78 win over Cincinnati.

Pick: Golden Eagles

Texas Tech Red Raiders at Kansas Jayhawks (-25.5, 127.5)

Texas Tech traveling to Allen Fieldhouse for a meeting with No. 5 Kansas is just about the most lopsided matchup possible in the Big 12. The Jayhawks, who are tied with No. 3 Missouri atop the conference, are in solid contention for their eighth straight league title.

The Red Raiders, by contrast, picked up their first Big 12 victory a week ago. Texas Tech has seven freshmen on its roster, while Kansas is much more seasoned with senior guard Tyshawn Taylor and junior big man Thomas Robinson, a national player of the year frontrunner, leading the way.

There is no doubt that Robinson is the Jayhawks’ go-to player inside, but 7-footer Jeff Withey has burst onto the scene to help create perhaps the best one-two inside punch in the country.

Withey, a redshirt junior, is averaging 20.3 points, 12.0 rebounds and 6.3 blocks over the past three games since being held scoreless in a loss at Missouri on Feb. 4. Withey has 53 blocks in conference play, which is more than twice as many as any other Big 12 player.

Pick: Jayhawks

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers (-3, 192)

The San Antonio Spurs are the antithesis of the Los Angeles Clippers.

While Lob City is splashed all over highlight programs all across the country the Spurs just keep doing the same thing they always do – win games.

The Spurs have won nine straight games, including the first five of their annual Rodeo Road Trip and have gone 7-0-1 against the spread during the surge.

Tony Parker scored 34 points and dished out 14 assists to help San Antonio get out of Toronto with a 113-106 win, pushing as a 7-point favorite.

"Our bench this year in addition to Tony (Parker) playing at the level he's playing and [Tim Duncan's] steadiness, we wouldn't be here without them," coach Gregg Popovich told reporters. "About three or four of them have been magnificent at both ends of the court for us. While Manu (Ginobili) has been out for us that has kept us above water."

The Clippers have been hot and cold lately, so we’ll continue to ride the Spurs.

Pick: Spurs

Atlanta Hawks at Portland Trail Blazers (N/A)

Josh Smith may not be heading to the All-Star Game, but he’s certainly playing like he belongs in the show.

He put up 30 points, 17 rebounds, four assists and three blocks in Atlanta’s 101-99 road win over Phoenix, helping the Hawks narrowly cover as 1-point favorites.

"Josh was just magnificent," Hawks coach Larry Drew told reporters after the game. "He did it all, on both ends of the floor. He gave us the energy we needed to power through and that's all you can ask for on the back end of a back-to-back set like this."

The win snapped a two-game skid for Atlanta, but you have to give the Hawks a long look against Portland. They have covered in six straight matchups with the Blazers.

LaMarcus Aldridge is still questionable with his ankle injury, which is holding up the line for this one.

Whether he plays or not, our initial lean on this one is toward the Hawks.

Pick: Hawks

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers (-115, 5.5)

When the Philadelphia Flyers are clicking, there aren’t many teams that can keep up with them.

Down 2-0 early in Thursday’s game against the Sabres, they flipped the switch and pumped in seven straight goals in an impressive 7-2 victory.

Claude Giroux led the attack with five assists while Scott Hartnell scored and added three helpers.

"These are the wins that bring us together," Max Talbot told reporters. "We didn't start the way we wanted to. We talked about it between the first and second, and we started to play and never looked back. It's a win that happened at the right time.”

It’s hard to know what you’re going to get from the Flyers, but you’d better believe the Penguins are going to show up for this one.

They were held to just 26 shots on goal in Wednesday’s 2-1 loss to Anaheim and that didn’t sit well with coach Dan Bylsma.

The Pens had scored 12 goals combined in the two games before that, so consider the Anaheim game a pothole.

Pick: Penguins

Minnesota Wild at St. Louis Blues (-250, 5)

The St. Louis Blues have been an under bettor’s best friend this season, checking in below the total 31 times this season.

While they’re still going to be a solid defensive club down the stretch down with Ken Hitchcock’s system, be careful with your under bets moving forward.

Andy McDonald scored his first goal of the campaign in Thursday’s 5-1 blowout of the New York Islanders and his impact is already showing just three games since returning from his concussion. David Perron is just getting going, too. He has 11 goals and 26 points in 33 games since coming back from his own concussion.

"I think it's making plays all over the ice, no matter if you start the play in the D-zone or finish plays at the net, like Andy and I did tonight," Perron told reporters Thursday night. "It's always good to get a guy like Mac back. The skills that he can bring to a team are pretty unbelievable. For myself, it's playing with guys like (T.J.) Oshie and (David Backes) that makes it good."

We may have just seen the beginning of how good this Blues team can be.

Pick: Over

Game of the day

San Antonio Spurs at Los Angeles Clippers (-3, 192)

Notable quotable

“Our whole team right now is starting to jel together. In the past week, this might be the biggest leap I’ve seen (this season), just in terms of guys playing basketball the way we play, especially offensively. It’s good. It’s heading in the right direction.” – Michigan senior guard Zack Novak on the Michigan Wolverines’ preparation for Saturday’s meeting with Ohio State. The Wolverines are set as 5-point home underdogs and as of Friday evening and more than 66 percent of Covers.com Consensus bettors were supporting the Wolverines.

Notes and tips

The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have suspended junior guard Glen Rice Jr. indefinitely on Friday, but wouldn’t disclose the reason for the suspension. He will miss Saturday’s game against Virginia Tech. Rice leads the Georgia Tech averaging 13 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. The Yellow Jackets were set as 9-point underdogs as of Friday evening.

The Nashville Predators acquired defenseman Hal Gill from the Montreal Canadiens on Friday. The Predators also received a conditional 2013 draft pick, in exchange for forwards Blake Geoffrion, Robert Slaney and a 2012 second-round pick. Gill has 36 goals and 143 assists in 1,047 regular-season games. The 36-year-old also has 105 games of playoff experience. He can become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. The Predators host Chicago Saturday.

Purdue kicked guard Kelsey Barlow off the team and suspended forward D.J. Byrd following an early-morning incident at a bar on Friday. Byrd allegedly assaulted a bouncer at Where Else bar near the Purdue campus and Barlow was kicked out of the bar earlier in the night. Barlow was suspended last season for conduct detrimental to the team just before last year's NCAA tournament, which led to his final dismissal from the squad. Byrd was arrested for public intoxication by Indiana State Police and spent five hours in jail. He will miss Sunday's home game against Michigan State.

The New York Yankees and Pittsburgh Pirates have come to terms on a deal for righthander A.J. Burnett, MLB Network insider Ken Rosenthal reported on Friday. The trade, which also includes a pair of prospects heading to the Yankees, will need the approval of Major League Baseball due to the money involved. It is not immediately known the identities of the prospects. Pittsburgh is expected to absorb $13-15 million of the $33 million that the 35-year-old Burnett is owed for the 2012-13 seasons. Burnett posted an 11-11 record with a 5.15 ERA in 32 starts last season. He has recorded a 34-35 mark with a 4.79 ERA since signing a five-year, $82.5 million contract prior to the 2009 campaign.
