The Cavaliers have won six consecutive games at home and are 9-1 in their last 10 games played on a Wednesday. See which team to pick here.
Why Memphis can cover
Meanwhile, it may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Memphis ultimately got the result the Tigers hoped for on Saturday. They came out on top against Clemson by a score of 87-82. Memphis' success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Tyrese Hunter led the charge by going 7 for 11 from beyond the arc en route to 23 points.
Another player making a difference was Colby Rogers, who went 9 for 14 en route to 22 points. For the season, Rogers is averaging 13.4 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He's knocking down 45.3% of his field goals and 44.6% of his 3-point attempts. See which team to pick here.
