Vanderbilt Commodores at Georgia Bulldogs (+6, 130)

The Commodores appear to be opening up the sails at the right time.

The team not only dropped 102 points in a win over Ole Miss this week, it was the first time Vandy had topped the century mark in five years. The Commodores are one of the SEC’s top shooting and in recent games they’ve surpassed their season averages. During a 2-1 stretch, Vanderbilt is shooting 48 percent from the field (80 of 165) and 45 percent from behind the arc (27 of 60). Freshman Kedren Johnson has been excellent off the bench lately, contributing 10 assists and just one turnover in the last three games.

Vanderbilt also dominated the team’s first meeting in Nashville earlier this season, out-scoring Georgia 32-16 in the paint and made 14 more free throws in an 11-point win.

Pick: Commodores

Duke Blue Devils at Boston College Eagles (+15.5, 139.5)

The Blue Devils can move into a three-way tie for first place in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a win over the Eagles, who are tied for 10th and have the league’s worst overall winning percentage.

Duke teammates and brothers Mason and Miles Plumlee are combining to average 17.9 points and 16.3 rebounds, and one of them has led the team in rebounding in 24 of 26 games.

And all that domination in the paint is opening up room for the guards.

Seth Curry is averaging 18.6 points over the last five games, during which he’s been in double figures every time and shot 43.2 percent on 3-pointers. Austin Rivers, named the ACC Freshman of the Week for the fourth straight time, is averaging 15 points and has had 22 double-figure games.

Duke also leads the ACC with 8.2 threes per game and Boston College ranks third at 7.2.

Pick: Blue Devils

Boston Celtics at Detroit Pistons (+5.5, 183)

One thing is certain about the Detroit Pistons: they are getting better.

Detroit is 9-1 against the spread its past 10 games and not surprisingly the team is 6-4 straight-up over that span. The Pistons have emerged as a scrappy team due to the backcourt duo of Brandon Knight and Rodney Stuckey learning to play together. Knight has emerged as the primary facilitator, averaging 12.4 points and 3.6 assists per game, while Stuckey is developing into more of a shooting guard.

Stuckey is averaging 14.7 points per game this season but is averaging 28 points over the past three. In a 98-88 win over Boston last week, Stuckey finished with 25 points, four rebounds and three assists as he outplayed Rajon Rondo.

“The 16 games that they started together, the time that they've spent on the practice floor, all of that is good in terms of helping in building a bond, a brothership, a kinship,” Pistons coach Lawrence Frank told Mlive.com.

Expect that bond to keep growing against Boston.

Pick: Detroit

Philadelphia 76ers at Minnesota Timberwolves (-1, 190)

The 76ers may be hitting the wall. Philadelphia surprisingly got off to one of the hottest starts in the league, but the team has dropped four of its past six, including losses to the Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio, Dallas and Orlando.

In the loss to the Mavericks, the Sixers built a commanding halftime lead thanks to 10 first-half fastbreak points. But Dallas held them to just two transition points after intermission and Philadelphia wilted down the stretch.

“We started thinking too much instead of just letting it be fluid,” Sixers guard Andre Iguodala told Philly.com. “You forget the mechanics of just catching and shooting.”

And if the Sixers are at their best in the open court, don’t expect Minnesota to argue.

The Timberwolves are giving up an average of nearly 99 points the past five games and guard Ricky Rubio (8.6 assists per game) keeps the team up-tempo at all-time.

“We had a look on our faces of concern and we have to do a better job of getting out of those funks like that,” Iguodala said. “It kind of lingered with us and it’s a learning experience.”

Consider the lesson learned.

Pick: Sixers

Colorado Avalanche at Winnipeg Jets (-135, 5.5)

The Jets are flying high at home.

The MTS Center has been a fortress for Winnipeg this season as the Jets are trying to use an eight-game home stand to propel themselves back into the playoff chase.

Winnipeg, which is 17-9-2 in Manitoba, started its home run with a 4-2 victory over the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins on Friday. Goaltender Ondrej Pavelec also snapped a two-game losing streak as he tied a career high with his 21st victory.

Meantime, the Avalanche have lost four of their past five road games and are relying on unsteady goalie Semyon Varlamov, who lost his job to journeyman Jean-Sebastian Giguere this season. Varlamov is 15-17-2 with a 2.90 goals-against average and .902 save percentage.

"This is playoff hockey for us right now and we need to have more urgency right from the start. You have to be ready to start on time in this league,” Colorado coach Joe Sacco said. “This is a no-excuse business."

The Jets also are 3-0 against the Northwest Division this season, including a 4-1 win at Colorado on Dec. 27.

Pick: Jets

St. Louis Blues at Chicago Blackhawks (-115, 5.5)

The Blackhawks took another scalp on Saturday, beating Columbus 6-1. Combined with a 4-2 win over the streaking Rangers earlier in the week, and Chicago is starting to build some momentum after a nine-game road trip.

"Obviously, the first seven games were tough but sometimes you come out of it with positives," Chicago forward Patrick Kane told the Associated Press. "The last two games we can look at it and we played good today, and we played good the last game. Hopefully we can get hot here. It's going to be nice going home today and actually just being there for a while."

Kane helped jumpstart the Blackhawks by collecting a goal and two assists combined in the wins and forward Jonathan Toews had two goals and three assists of his own.

Meantime, the Blues have won four of five but split a pair of games with Chicago earlier this season.

"Our team game was efficient in the right areas as we went along," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "I still think we can get better off of these levels."

Pick: Blackhawks

NHL: The over is 6-1-1 in Edmonton’s past eight games.

NHL: New Jersey is 7-2 in its past nine games.

NCAAB: Michigan State is 5-1 against the spread its past six games.

NCAAB: Oregon is 6-1 against the spreads its past seven games.

Who’s not

NHL: Chicago is 1-9 in its past 10 games.

NHL: Boston is 2-9 in its past 11 games against the Minnesota Wild.

NCAAB: The under is 8-2 in South Florida’s past 10 games.

NCAAB: The under is 4-1 in Indiana’s past five road games.

Key stat

3 – Colorado Avalanche forward Ryan O’Reilly assisted on all of his team’s goals in a 3-1 win over Edmonton on Friday night. It was the third three-assist game of O’Reilly’s career, with all three coming in Canada: against Edmonton, Ottawa and Calgary. Colorado plays at Winnipeg on Sunday.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Carmelo Anthony, New York Knicks – Anthony (groin) is averaging 22.3 points per game but the Knicks have gone 5-1 without him as guard Jeremy Lin emerged as a superstar. And that trend could continue with coach Mike D’Antoni saying he expects his All-Star to sit out Sunday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks. D’Antoni did hint that both J.R. Smith and Baron Davis could see action against the defending champs.

Game of the day

Orlando Magic at Miami Heat (-9.5, 194)

Notable quotable

“You work within the templates the best way you think. Obviously, you're trying to do a better job than the next guy.'' -- Ken Howes, Hendrick Motorsports' vice president for competition, on modifications discovered to the No. 48 car driven by Jimmy Johnson during initial inspection for the Daytona 500 on Friday. NASCAR said suspensions for those involved have not been ruled out.

Notes and tips

New Jersey Nets center Brook Lopez is expected to make his season debut on Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lopez, who hasn’t touched the court this year due to a fractured fifth metatarsal bone in his right foot, hadn’t missed a game during the first three seasons of his career. The former Stanford star led the team in scoring with 20.4 points per game last year.

Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mikhail Grabovski said he isn’t paying attention to the swirling trade rumors. "Nope," he told the Toronto Sun. "Haven't heard it. Don't think about it. Don't listen to the radio or read the papers." Grabovski has 18 goals and 21 assists this season but his recent play says he is lying: the forward hasn’t lit the lamp since last month and he has just four assists over his past eight games.

Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Terry is expected to return to the lineup when the defending champs play the Knicks in New York on Sunday. Terry, who missed the past games – one due to injury and another for personal reasons, is the team’s second leading scorer at 14.8 points per game. If Terry can’t go, expect lots of minutes for second-year guard Dominique Jones as backcourt mates Delonte West (injury) and Rodrigue Beaubois (family) won’t be available.

Dallas Stars forward Jamie Benn is expected to miss Sunday’s game against Nashville as his leg was cut by a skate during his team’s 3-2 win over Calgary this week. Benn, who was seen walking around the team facility on crutches, has 17 goals and 32 assists in 52 games this season. It took 32 stiches to close the wound.
