Blues vs. Panthers Free Pick October 12, 2017

MIKE LUNDIN'S PELICANS @ CAVALIERS FREE PICK

The Cleveland Cavaliers will be playing on no rest following a 115-100 win at Detroit Monday night. They're already one of the worst teams in the league when it comes to defensive field goal percentage and heavy legs won't do them any favors on the defensive end.

Additionally, the Cavs are allowing opponents to shoot 37.1 percent (27th) from behind the arc and New Orleans ranks fifth in the league for shooting from 3-point land.

The Pels are coming off a 123-108 win over Boston and they're 9-0 to the over in their last nine following a straight-up win.

Over is 12-3 in Pelicans last 15 overall. Over is 7-1 in Cavaliers last 8 home games.

Free pick on OVER.

GAME OF THE MONTH (NCAAB): MIKE'S TOP RATED BIG EAST BOOKIE BREAKER

The No. 17 Butler Bulldogs snapped a three-game skid with an 89-85 OT win over Marquette last time out. I think they'll make it two in a row when visiting the Georgetown Hoyas Tuesday night.

The Bulldogs are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games following a straight up win and they'll face a Hoyas side that has lost three of its last four and two on the bounce. Georgetown put up just 57 points in a nine-point loss at Xavier last time out and points won't come easy against this Butler team that has held opponents to 59.4 (8th) ppg on the season. 

Additionally, we can note that the road team is 6-1 ATS in the last 7 head-to-head meetings and that Butler has won four straight games at Georgetown. 

10* play on Butler Bulldogs.

The Charlotte Hornets and the New York Knicks are both among the worst offensive teams in the NBA. Additionally, no team in the NBA has a lower pace factor than the Hornets who average just 98.9 possessions per game and I think they'll be particularly interested to keep the tempo down in this one, just coming back home from a trip across the pond after battling Milwaukee in Paris, France, Friday night. 

Over their last three games, the Hornets have averaged 90.6 ppg and they're 5-1 to the under through their last six games. As for the Knicks, they're 27-20 to the under on the season and the under is 11-5 in their last 16 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.

8* play on UNDER.
