The Sacramento Kings (14-10) visit Madison Square Garden Sunday to battle the New York Knicks (13-13). Tip is set for 6 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings vs. Knicks odds, and make our expert NBA picks and predictions.

The Kings have covered 4 of their last 5 games and are 2-1 ATS on the road over that span. They are led by G De’Aaron Fox, who is averaging 22.8 points per game but is battling a foot injury.

Kings at Knicks picks and predictions

Prediction

Knicks 115, Kings 110

Moneyline

PASS.

Given the value on the Knicks to win versus their odds on the spread, I would back them at -2.5 (-110) and pass on the juiced moneyline. The Knicks have just 1 win (Nov. 4 against Philadelphia) of 3 or fewer points this season.

Against the spread

LEAN KNICKS -2.5 (-110).

Two of the Kings 6 players who average double-figures being questionable is concerning. The Knicks should also stack up well against Sacramento with C Mitchell Robinson limiting what F Domantas Sabonis can do in the paint.

The Knicks sit top 10 in offensive rebounding rate and turnover rate, both of which should help add extra opportunities.

While the Kings 4th in effective field goal rate, having the presence of Robinson in the paint should help control their efficiency. The Knicks are 5-4-1 ATS as a favorite as well.

With the status of 2 key players for Sacramento unknown, I’d back KNICKS -2.5 (-110).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 232.5 (-115).

The Knicks may crash the glass, but the Kings, with Sabonis’ large presence in the paint, sit 3rd in defensive rebounding.

New York’s turnover rate should also keep the Kings out of transition which is where Fox and G Malik Monk thrive. The Knicks have gone Under in 5 straight games.

They are 12-14 O/U this season with the Kings 11-12-1 O/U this season. While the Knicks sit 13th in pace, they rank 26th in shooting. Without many turnovers, expect them to struggle to score. Back the UNDER 232.5 (-115).

Tennessee vs. Maryland odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tennessee vs. Maryland odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 7 Tennessee Volunteers (8-1) travel to Brooklyn for a game at the Barclays Center against the No.13 Maryland Terrapins (8-1) Sunday at 4:30 p.m. ET (FS1). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tennessee vs. Maryland odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rankings courtesy of USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll

After losing its last outing 64-59 on Tuesday to Wisconsin as 2.5-point underdogs, Maryland faces a tough task to get back on the winning track against Tennessee. The Terrapins beat their 1st 7 opponents by double-digits but have found things a bit more difficult since entering Big Ten play. They did beat Illinois 71-66 as a 1.5-point favorite before losing to the Badgers.

Tennessee has only 1 loss as well this season — an inexplicable 78-66 loss to Colorado in Nashville as 15-point favorites in the 2nd game of the season. Since then, the Vols have been dominating opponents winning 4 times by 30-plus points. In its biggest test of the season, Tennessee handled No. 6 Kansas 64-50 on a neutral floor. As the SEC season starts, the Volunteers are the favorites to win the conference and gain a No. 1 seed in March Madness.

Tennessee vs. Maryland picks and predictions

Prediction

Tennessee 75, Maryland 65

Moneyline

PASS.

Tennessee has been dominating opponents in recent games and will do so again in this matchup. Tennessee will win but at -250 the number is too big to wager on. If you want to add it as a last leg of a parlay, you can. But as a straight wager, stay away from the ML.

Against the spread

BET TENNESSEE -5.5 (-110).

The Volunteers are on a tear, and I do not see it ending on Sunday. Maryland had a great run to start the season, but now the hard games start, and it will come back down to earth. Tennessee is by far the best team Maryland has played to this point and I see Tennessee covering this game easily. Tennessee -5.5 (-110) is my favorite play.

Over/Under

BET OVER 134.5 (-110).

Tennessee can score and with this ability, Maryland will be forced to match points. This game will also be near double-digits coming down the stretch meaning the Terrapins will be forced to foul the Vols and have them get their points at the line.

This bet could be close, but I like the Over more then the Under and this is what I would make a play on.

Marquette at Notre Dame odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Marquette at Notre Dame odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Marquette Golden Eagles (7-3) travel to South Bend to take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish (7-2) Sunday at 4 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Marquette vs. Notre Dame odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Despite being less than 300 miles apart, these 2 schools have not met on the court since 2013.

After demolishing Baylor 96-70 on Nov. 29, the Golden Eagles have been less then stellar. They lost 80-77 at home to Wisconsin as a favorite on Dec. 3 and then did not cover as 18.5-point favorites in a 90-78 win against North Carolina Central on Tuesday.

The Fighting Irish were a slight underdog when they beat Michigan State 70-52 on Nov. 30, but then lost as a 6.5-point favorites to a bad Syracuse team 62-61 and failed to cover as 14-point favorites against an overmatched Boston University, winning 81-75.

Minnesota at Purdue picks and predictions

Prediction

Marquette 75, Notre Dame 68

Moneyline

PASS.

If you feel Notre Dame will win, this is the way to wager. Marquette is better and despite being on the road, will win and cover. Therefor passing on the ML is the way to play this game.

Against the spread

BET MARQUETTE -1.5 (-105).

Marquette plays to its opponents. It beat Baylor by 26 and lost by 3 to Wisconsin. Notre Dame is the opposite. They beat the teams they should and lose to the better teams like Marquette.

With this game being in South Bend, this could backfire. But I like Marquette to cover -1.5 by quite a bit here. This is my favorite play in this game.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 145.5 (-115)

Combined this season, these 2 teams are 10-8-1 to the Over. But this game will be a bit different with both playing keep-away for parts of this game. There may be some streaks of points, but there will also be far too many dry spells for this game to confidently go over. This is not a strong play for me. But 145.5 is just slightly too high to make a confident play on. So, I will instead go Under 145.5 (-115).

Oklahoma State vs. Virginia Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Oklahoma State vs. Virginia Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Oklahoma State Cowboys (6-3) travel to the Big Apple for a neutral site game Sunday against the Virginia Tech Hokies (9-1). Tip-off at Madison Square Gardens is 2 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Oklahoma State vs. Virginia Tech odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

With only 1 loss — on the road against the College of Charleston 77-75 in the finals of the Charleston Classic — Virginia Tech is on the verge of cracking the top 25 and a win over the Cowboys could be just the push to get them there.

After beating UNC 80-72 last Sunday as 1-point underdogs, Virginia Tech did not fall victim to a hangover in its next matchup and blew out Dayton 77-49 and covered the 7-point spread by 21 points.

Oklahoma State, after losing 74-64 to No. 5 UConn 74-64 on Dec. 1, returned home to beat Sam Houston State 65-51 as an 8-point favorite. It returns to the northeast for this game, and it will be another difficult challenge for the Cowboys.

Oklahoma State vs. Virginia Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Virginia Tech 66, Oklahoma State 63

Moneyline

PASS.

Oklahoma State can win this game, but my feeling is the Hokies will win and cover which makes me not want to use the ML wager here. If you are entering a parlay though, VT moneyline is a good addition.

Against the spread

BET VIRGINIA TECH -2.5 (-110).

Neither of these teams have been scoring a lot of points this season as a rule. But the Hokies had 80 against the Tar Heels and 77 against Dayton. I trust its scoring a bit more then the Cowboys and with the Cowboys making a 2nd trip in as many weeks to the East Coast, I like the Hokies to win this game by at least 3 points. But not much more than 3. VT -2.5 (-110) is my play here.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 133.5 (-115).

As I said, neither of these teams score in buckets. The Hokies are 6 of 10 to the Under this season while the Cowboys are 5 of 9. This will be another lower-scoring game between 2 teams which want to control the clock. Under 133.5 (-115) is my favorite play here.

Suns at Pelicans picks and predictions

Prediction

Suns 120, Pelicans 116

Moneyline

The last time this season the Suns faced the same team in consecutive games, they split them, losing the 1st meeting at home to Portland and then beating the Trail Blazers in the 2nd game.

Despite the Pelicans being 11-3 at home, the Suns have been too good this season to lose a 4th consecutive game.

BET SUNS (+135).

Against the spread

This is the 1st time all season the Suns have failed to cover the spread in 3 consecutive games. They are 14-12 ATS overall this season, and have covered the spread in their last 4 Sunday games.

But if you like the Suns to bounce back for a win, the moneyline is the better option because of its positive odds.

PASS.

Over/Under

Six of the Suns’ last 7 have had at least 227 total points and 3 of the last 5 for the Pelicans have as well. The teams went way over the 230.5 total in Friday’s game.

Buccaneers at 49ers picks and predictions

Prediction

Buccaneers 20, 49ers 13

Moneyline

The 49ers have the league’s No. 1 defense in yards and points allowed. Opponents score only 15.8 points per game and 283.9 yards per game. However, Tampa’s defense is no slouch, allowing only 18.3 points and 313.8 yards per game.

The Bucs rank 27th in scoring at only 18.1 points per game, while the 49ers are 13th at 23.5 PPG.

Tampa has had time to prepare for 49ers QB Brock Purdy. The Bucs will focus on slowing the run game and make Purdy make plays. The 49ers are 9-29 when anyone other than Garoppolo starts at QB.

It is hard to believe that Purdy could outduel QB Tom Brady, yet the 49ers are favored. This is a great underdog bet to make.

BET BUCCANEERS (+160).

Against the spread

The Bucs are only 3-8-1 ATS this season. The Bucs have only covered the spread once in their last 10 games. However, this is the 1st time all season they have not been favored.

The 49ers are 7-5 ATS. In their 5-game winning streak, they have covered the spread 4 times.

The 49ers will come down to earth with Purdy at QB, but the ATS bet for the Bucs isn’t has good as the moneyline.

PASS.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in only 2 games for the Bucs this season. The Bucs have held opponents to 16 or fewer points in 3 of their last 4 games. And you can expect the San Francisco offense to struggle against Tampa’s defense.

BET UNDER 37 (-111).

Panthers at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 25, Panthers 19

Moneyline

The Seahawks (-200) will cost you 2 times your potential return, and that’s expensive, even against a Panthers team that is winless on the road this season.

AVOID.

Against the spread

The lean is to SEAHAWKS -4 (-109), as the Panthers are winless on the road and just 2-3 ATS in 5 games away from home.

There is some concern, however, the Seahawks have numerous injury concerns to tailbacks, and Metcalf being added to the injury report is even more of a worry.

Over/Under

UNDER 44.5 (-112) is the lean, ever so slightly.

The Under has cashed in 8 of the past 11 games for the Panthers, while going 11-5 in the past 16 following a straight-up win, too.

The risk is with the Seahawks, who have cashed the Over in 7 of the past 10 games overall while going 9-3 in the past 12 against losing teams. Still, with the injuries to key skill position players, Seattle could find it more challenging to move the football.

Dolphins at Chargers picks and predictions

Prediction

Dolphins 31, Chargers 24

Moneyline

The odds for the Dolphins (-170) to win are at a point where I’ll PASS on taking them straight up. However, while I wouldn’t recommend taking Miami to win as a standalone bet at anything lower than -150, it’s fine using the Dolphins to win in a parlay.

Against the spread

With the Chargers struggling to find ways to win games again, DOLPHINS -3.5 (-102) is an enticing wager. Hill may be on the injury report for Miami, but nothing indicates he won’t be available to suit up.

The Dolphins are 13-3 ATS in their last 16 games after allowing 30 or more points in the previous game and are 10-4 ATS in its last 14 meetings against Los Angeles.

Over/Under

With both of these offenses being capable of scoring a ton of points, OVER 54 (-113) is a fun wager to take in this game. Tagovailoa and the Dolphins should have no issues putting up points against a struggling Chargers defense after scoring only 17 points in Week 13.

The Dolphins have hit the Over in 4 of their last 5 games and in each of their last 4 road games. Meanwhile, the Chargers have gone 10-2 to the Over in their last 12 games following a loss and they’ve gone Over in 5 of their last 6 games against a team with a winning record.

Chiefs at Broncos picks and predictions

Prediction

Chiefs 24, Broncos 9

Moneyline

One day Denver will snap its losing streak against Kansas City, but Sunday will not be that day. The Broncos have the worst offense in the league by far and are missing their top receiver in Sutton. The Chiefs, meanwhile, are coming off a frustrating loss which means they’ll want to take out their frustration on their division rival.

The bet is clearly the Chiefs, but AVOID the moneyline as the payout is not worth the risk.

Against the spread

The Chiefs have struggled to cover the spread this season (3-8-1) but many of their lines have been large and have been against much better offensive opponents. Denver has put up just 10 points in 5 of its last 8 games and has scored over 20 points in just 2 games this season.

The Chiefs boast the NFL’s best offense at 29.2 points per game. While the Chiefs’ defense has been up and down, it has fared well against average or below competition. Consider K.C. a safe bet to cover against a bad Broncos squad.

BET CHIEFS -9 (-109).

Over/Under

It’s rare to advise betting the Under and betting the favorite to cover a 9-point spread, but that’s exactly the play with this game. The Broncos are a near lock to score low, and the Chiefs have scored 27 or fewer points in 5 of their last 7 games. The Broncos boast a top-3 defense so only expect the Chiefs to run up the score enough to cover.

BET UNDER 44.5 (-113).

Eagles at Giants picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 30, Giants 21

Moneyline

The Eagles are a perfect on the road this season (5-0) while the Giants are 4-2-1 at home. The Giants have not won their last 2 home games, tying the Commanders last week and losing to the Detroit Lions before that.

The Giants struggle to stop the run, allowing more than 140 yards per game and will face the Eagles’ 4th-ranked rushing attack that gains 154.6 yards per game.

And potentially playing without Barkley, who is the backbone of the New York offense, they don’t stand a chance.

That said, betting the Eagles on the moneyline isn’t worth the action.

PASS.

Against the spread

The Eagles are only 7-5 ATS on the season compared to the Giants’ 9-3 ATS mark.

However, 4 of the Eagles’ last 5 wins have been by at least a TD while all 4 of the Giants’ losses this season have been by at least 7 points.

BET EAGLES -7 (-110).

Over/Under

Five of the Eagles’ last 6 games have surpassed 45 total points. Two of the last 3 for the Giants have topped 45, but only 3 of their last 10 had 45 or more total points.

With the Philly offense humming the way it is, expect some points.

BET OVER 45 (-111).
