Jason Green is back with Cappers Picks again to give out his free sports plays. As always he's hoping the Braves and Redskins can win a championship since their last one in the 90’s was long ago. He’s starting to know the pain of Cubs fans.
The slam dunk contests has lost a little luster over the past decade or so and this season Superman Dwight Howard is not in the competition, 3 time champion Nate Robinson is not in the mix, and last season’s champion Blake Griffin is not competing.
5th ranked Kansas (22-5) is one game up on Missouri, who they face in their next game, in the Big 12 standings and they have a great chance to win their 8th Big 12 title.
Both the Lakers (19-13) and the Mavs (21-12) did not start the season well, but each has gotten back on track. The Lakers beat the Mavs earlier this season in La La Land, but this season they have struggled on the road going 5-11.
The All Star game is approaching and that means half the season is almost over. While Miami has the best odds to win the NBA Championship many other teams are in the mix and have legit odds.
When Big East play began it looked as if defending champion UCONN (16-10) was a shoe in to play in the Big Dance, but since winning their first 2 conference games they are only 4-8 since.
Texas (17-10) is 0-6 facing ranked opponents this season, but they have a good chance to change that facing a struggling Baylor (22-5) team that has lost 3 of their last 4 games.
Florida got over their 2-game losing streak by winning their last game and there is a god shot they will add another W in this game facing a reeling Arkansas team that has lost 4 of their last 6 games. NCAAB lines have Florida as a 5-point away favorite with a total of 145.5.
North Carolina (21-4) got over their home loss to Duke with an 18-point thrashing against a ranked Virginia team in their last game and now travel to the Sunshine State to face Miami (15-8), who recently had their 5-game winning streak snapped.
Can’t believe Florida (19-6) is only slight favorite in this game against Alabama (16-8), as the Tide will be without their 2 leading scorers and rebounders with JaMychal Green and Tony Mitchell both suspended.
The Pacers (17-10) have been a surprise this season, but they have dropped a season high 3 straight and getting back on track against the hot Heat, no pun intended, will be far from easy since they have lost 7 of 8 games to Miami.
Kansas (20-5) got over a little rocky patch where they lost 2 of 3 games by winning their last 2 including beating 6th ranked Baylor.
Kansas (18-5) is looking to avoid losing 2 straight for the first time since 2006 and for that to happen they will need to beat a Baylor (21-2) team that is 11-1 at home this season and has won 4 straight.
Things do not stack up well for South Carolina (9-12) in this home game, as they are facing a Kentucky (22-1) team that is ranked #1 in the nation, has already beaten them by 15 points this season, and on top of that the Gamecocks have lost 6 of their last 7 games.
The Clippers (12-6) are looking for a season-best 4-game winning streak in tonight’s game, but a win will not be easy facing a Jazz (12-7) team that has won 2 straight and is 10-3 at home this season.
The Mavs (14-8) are starting to play well after a slow start and they have won 3 straight and while the Thunder (16-4) have the best record in the Western Conference they are coming off a loss.
Not only is this Super Bowl a match up of a few years back when the Giants ruined the Patriots perfect season, but they also beat them in New England in week 9 this season.
