Oklahoma City Thunder vs Brooklyn Nets Picks and Predictions January 19th 2025
The Oklahoma City Thunder are crossing their fingers for the return of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander as they take on the Brooklyn Nets this Sunday. Shai missed his first game of the season on Friday with a sprained wrist, and let’s just say the Thunder felt his absence in their 106-98 loss to the Mavericks. With Shai listed as questionable and some key players still out, the Thunder are looking to make adjustments and keep their momentum in the Western Conference race. With Shai sidelined and guys like Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein also unavailable, Jalen Williams had to step up—and step up big. He finished with 19 points, but it wasn’t easy. He faced defensive schemes he hadn’t seen before, including

Maryland Terrapins vs Nebraska Cornhuskers Picks and Predictions January 19th 2025
Nebraska and Maryland are both feeling the pressure after tough losses earlier this week, and they’re looking for redemption as they face off on Sunday in College Park. With Nebraska struggling on the road and Maryland trying to keep their perfect home record intact, this game has all the makings of a nail-biter. Let’s be honest—Nebraska hasn’t had much luck on the road in the Big Ten this season. They’re 0-3, and those losses haven’t been close. The Cornhuskers have been losing by an average of 27.7 points per game, and their defense has been a glaring weakness. Opponents are shooting 54.4% from the field and almost 50% from three-point range. That’s a big yikes. Even worse, Nebraska has been

Cincinnati Bearcats vs Arizona State Sun Devils Picks and Predictions January 18th 2025
Two teams with contrasting styles but shared struggles aim to find their footing in Big 12 conference play. After strong starts to the season, both Cincinnati and Arizona State have hit turbulence in their inaugural Big 12 campaigns. On Saturday afternoon, the Bearcats (11-5, 1-4) will host the Sun Devils (10-6, 1-4) in a pivotal matchup as both teams look to reverse their fortunes. The transition to the Big 12 has not been kind to Cincinnati or Arizona State. Both teams have managed just one conference win apiece, with their sole victories coming against last-place Colorado. For Cincinnati, that victory came on Wednesday in a gritty 68-62 road win. Simas Lukosius, the team’s leading scorer at 12.5 points per game,

Louisville Cardinals vs Virginia Cavaliers Picks and Predictions January 18th 2025
As Louisville and Virginia prepare to face off in an ACC rematch on Saturday, the two teams find themselves on starkly contrasting paths. The Cardinals, riding a seven-game winning streak, are surging, while the Cavaliers aim to end a four-game skid that began with a home loss to Louisville two weeks ago. Virginia (8-9, 1-5 ACC) has struggled to find consistency, with their recent loss coming in heartbreaking fashion—a buzzer-beating 3-pointer from SMU’s Boopie Miller sealing a 54-52 defeat on Wednesday. Despite the loss, interim head coach Ron Sanchez saw progress. “It’s definitely a step in the right direction with this group,” Sanchez said, highlighting his team’s effort despite subpar shooting nights from leading scorers Isaac McKneely and Elijah Saunders.
