The Golden State Warriors open a two-game set in Minneapolis against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday at 5:30 PM ET at Target Center (ABC). Both teams are searching for traction: Golden State is adjusting without Jimmy Butler, and Minnesota is trying to stop a four-game slide before the rematch on Monday. This is the kind of spot where game script matters. If the Warriors keep it organized and make Minnesota execute in the half court, they can stay inside the number. If the Wolves win the effort categories early—rebounds, loose balls, second chances—this can turn into a separation game by the fourth. Golden State’s margin has tightened since the Butler injury because the offense has to be more Curry-centric. That’s

Eastern Kentucky heads to Jacksonville for an Atlantic Sun matchup on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET, with the game played at Swisher Gymnasium and streamed on ESPN+. Both teams sit at 7-13, which is why the market is basically calling this a coin flip with Jacksonville laying 1.5. This is the type of game where you don’t overthink “records.” The pricing is about styles and possessions.

The total is 139.5. That’s a workable number for two teams that can get into the 70s, but

Troy hits the road for a Sun Belt conference game at Georgia Southern on Saturday, January 24, 2026, with tip set for 3:00 PM ET at the Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center in Statesboro. You can watch on ESPN+, and the market is treating this like a real road test, not a walk-through. Troy is laying 4.5 with a -190 moneyline, while Georgia Southern is getting +4.5 at home. That pricing makes sense when you look at the Eagles’ 8-3 home mark. Troy has traveled decently too at 7-5, so this isn’t one of those spots where you blindly fade the road team. The total sits at 159.5, and that number is telling you to expect possessions. Both

Oakland and Detroit meet in a Horizon League game on Saturday, January 24, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET from Calihan Hall in Detroit. It’s on ESPN+, and the betting market is pricing this like Oakland is the cleaner team, but not so far ahead that Detroit can’t hang around if the pace stays hot. Oakland is laying 6.5 on the road with a -235 moneyline, which is a strong ask for a team that’s been inconsistent away from home (6-8). Detroit is taking +6.5 at home, and the total is 168.5, a number that signals tempo, shot volume, and a game where one or two cold stretches can still get erased quickly. From a betting angle, you’re basically deciding whether
