Washington-wizards vs Phoenix-suns Picks and Predictions January 16th 2025
The Phoenix Suns and Washington Wizards are both in rough patches right now, but something has to give when they meet Thursday night. The Suns are having a hard time winning on the road, while the Wizards just can’t seem to win anywhere, losing seven straight games. Phoenix kicked off their five-game road trip with a 122-117 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. Devin Booker and Kevin Durant did everything they could—Booker dropped 35 points with a season-high seven 3-pointers, and Durant added 31 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists—but it wasn’t enough. Why? Rebounding. The Suns gave up 20 offensive boards to Atlanta, and it cost them the game. “You’ve got to hit first,” Booker said. “Guys like

Detroit Pistons vs Indiana Pacers Picks and Predictions January 16th 2025
The Detroit Pistons are officially one of the NBA’s coolest comeback stories this season. Last year, they were stuck in the league’s basement with just 14 wins. Now? They’re heading into the halfway point with a winning record, no matter what happens Thursday night against the Indiana Pacers. With 10 wins in their last 12 games, the Pistons have totally flipped the script, sitting at 21-19. Monday’s win over the Knicks, 124-119, was the latest highlight. And it wasn’t just any win—it was a clinic in team trust and execution. Cade Cunningham faced double teams all night but didn’t force anything. Instead, he dished the ball to Tim Hardaway Jr., who set up Malik Beasley for two dagger 3-pointers in

Minnesota Golden Gophers vs Michigan Wolverines Picks and Predictions January 16th 2025
The 20th-ranked Michigan Wolverines are set to take their explosive offense to Minneapolis on Thursday to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a Big Ten showdown. Michigan, riding a five-game winning streak, looks to solidify its conference dominance, while Minnesota aims to end a frustrating slump. Michigan (13-3, 5-0 Big Ten) has been on a tear, showcasing their offensive prowess against traditional and new Big Ten opponents alike. With victories over recent conference additions Southern California, UCLA, and Washington, the Wolverines have proven they can adapt to diverse challenges. Their success stems from a high-octane offense installed by first-year coach Dusty May. The Wolverines have scored 85 or more points in eight consecutive games, but May remains focused on refining

Oregon State Beavers vs Gonzaga Bulldogs Picks and Predictions January 16th 2025
The Gonzaga Bulldogs and the Oregon State Beavers are set to renew a storied rivalry that dates back decades, with an exciting matchup at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon. This marks the first meeting between the two programs in 34 years, adding a layer of nostalgia and intrigue to this Thursday night’s West Coast Conference (WCC) showdown. Oregon State holds a commanding 25-2 all-time record over Gonzaga. However, much has changed since their last meeting in the 1990-91 season, when the Bulldogs were years away from becoming a perennial NCAA powerhouse. The Beavers have dominated the rivalry, winning 12 straight games against Gonzaga. The Bulldogs’ last victory came in 1932, and their all-time record in Corvallis is a dismal 1-8.

Butler Bulldogs vs Seton Hall Pirates Picks and Predictions January 15th 2025
The Pirates and Bulldogs are set to face off at 7:00 ET on FS1. The Bulldogs will host the game at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, IN. This Big East conference matchup has an over/under of 138 points, and Butler is favored to win by -8 at home vs. Seton Hall. Seton Hall’s season record dropped to 6-10 after a 91-85 loss to Providence on Saturday. The Pirates, who were +8 point underdogs, managed to cover the spread. After a 41-41 first half, Seton Hall scored 44 points in the 2nd half but allowed 50. The game’s total points of 176 went well over the O/U line of 130.5. Seton Hall put up 85 points in their last game, shooting 44.9%
