2 hoops plays fri. had a good thursday night going 4-1 let's keep it going
# 840 manhattan +2.5
jaspers a very live dog in this spot...7-11 team but they had a stretch of 7 straight road games early in the season.these guys played ZERO home games in the month of december.that is a shame for a group of college kids...since then manhattan has competed very well.they are off losing at siena which was expected but recent home games have shown 1 and 2 pt losses with a blowout win over st.peter's also...just 1 home loss in 7 games by more than 3 and it was a 5 pt defeat vs a 14-4 william & mary team....iona is off a nice 2-0 homestand with dd wins over rider and niagara but i think they have a tough go tonight being a little too reliant on machado...espn cameras in the house for a 9pm local time national tv game and i know those espn trucks don't make it to riverdale,ny and draddy gym very often...very competitive team in this gym manhattan steps up in a spotlight game tonight.
# 803 sacramento kings +9.5
this number is a touch high imo.....stop number 5 of 6 for sacramento on this road trip.if it was the last stop i would be leery of getting blown out but tonight i think they hang inside this price.kings have been competing in some tough buildings of late losing by just 2 at charlotte(18-4 at home)and staying with atlanta(17-5 at home) for a big portion before losing by 11...each game kevin martin is back this team should get more chemistry...orlando has won just 3 of their last 10 so they are not in great form.sacramento desperate for a win on this trip and i think we get great effort tonight with a big price to boot..up and down sacramento's schedule they have played close games at a lot of tough places in this league.evans is giving them tremendous guard play and tonight should be more of the same.
good luck fellas
