UCLA at Arizona State picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 71, Arizona State 65

Moneyline

Not available.

Against the spread

Since Nov. 23, UCLA is 13-0 straight up and 8-5 ATS. Arizona State is 2-4 ATS in its last 6 games.

The Bruins had more of a wake-up call in their last game than what appears in the final 68-54 score. UCLA trailed Colorado by 9 at the midpoint of the 2nd half. The comeback in that game, plus recent comps at home plus recent road-neutral performances, lead to a UCLA win by 6-to-8-points in this game.

ASU lost to current No. 11 Arizona 69-60 at home Dec. 31. The Devils trailed shaky Oregon State early in their last game. They cede too much advantage in turnovers, rebounding and 3-point shooting in this match-up against UCLA.

BACK THE BRUINS -4.5 (-115).

Over/Under

The Over is 6-1 in the last 7 UCLA-ASU meetings.

This is a well-made number here and 1 likely not tailor-made for tracking on a slight Over lean. A 133 would make for interest in a partial-unit play on the Over. Otherwise PASS.

UCLA at Arizona State odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

UCLA 72, Arizona State 63

Money line

STEER CLEAR. The juice in the middle floods the value at either end.

Against the spread

The home team is 15-6-2 ATS in the last 23 meetings between these two sides.

TAKE THE SUN DEVILS +10.5 (-112) in Saturday’s game. ASU has been solid defensively lately and is perhaps due for some regression to better its shooting numbers.

Over/Under

The Over has hit in five straight UCLA-ASU games and has covered the total by double-digit margins in each of the last two.

TAKE THE OVER 130.5 (-115) Saturday. The Devils are a sneaky-good defensive team that will keep the Bruins engaged in a 2-to-3 score game longer and actually spiral the score northward.

UCLA at Arizona State: Three things to know

  1. UCLA won back-to-back games at home by a single possession with the latest being a 65-62 win against Colorado as a 1-point favorite. The Bruins have won seven of their last eight games and are 6-3 against the spread this season.
  2. Arizona State has been forced to postpone several games already this season including scheduled road contests against Washington State and Washington this past week and a Dec. 22 home game vs. Utah. The Sun Devils lost their last game 76-63 back on Dec. 16, at home to UTEP as 13-point favorites. Unless you’re fading them, the Sun Devils have been an awful bet this season, covering the spread in just one of their seven games.
  3. The Sun Devils have dominated the Bruins in their recent history. UCLA snapped a four-game losing streak to Arizona State with a win last February but the Sun Devils have a 5-0-1 ATS record in their last six games vs. the Bruins.

UCLA at Arizona State: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

UCLA 77, Arizona State 70

Money line (ML)

UCLA has a higher effective field-goal percentage and a higher net eFG% than Arizona State. The Bruins are a better rebounding team, have more experience, height and RSCI top-100 recruits. Still, the recent head-to-head history favors Arizona State and UCLA is without its second-leading scorer in G Chris Smith.

Arizona State also has a key contributor on the injury report in PF Marcus Bagley (13.0 PPG, 5.8 RPG). Also, it’s only UCLA head coach Mick Cronin’s second season on the job and he already shed some of the Sun Devils’ curse by beating them in their last meeting.

On one hand, the home team is 15-4-2 ATS in the last 21 contests, but on the other Arizona State is 0-7 ATS in its last seven at home. These ATS trends apply here in the “money line” section since the spread is so small.

BET UCLA (-125) for 1 unit.

Against the spread (ATS)

PASS ON THE SPREAD. It’s not worth it, I’ll pay the extra vig for UCLA’s money line.

Over/Under (O/U)

I’d follow the market here and TAKE OVER 144.5 (-110) for a half-unit but hope we didn’t get here too late. The Over has been hit so hard bookmakers have moved the total down from the 149.5-point opener. It’s not a tight handicap hence the light wager but I do lean to the OVER.
