Today's NCAAB Picks All NCAAB Picks
NC State has struggled mightily defensively against pick-and-roll sets. It's in the bottom 28% of college basketball defensively and one of the worst in the ACC. This is one of the few offenses that the Pack have faced amid their run that is going to make big man DJ Burns defend in space. Nine out of 10 times, Kolek will make the correct read when he drags him away from the basketball on those high-ball screens.

Diarra has grabbed 12 or more rebounds in six straight games while averaging 11.7 points. Player projections call for almost 11 points and 13 rebounds from NC State’s standout forward in the Sweet 16. Diarra faces a Marquette frontcourt that hasn’t been great on the glass, sitting 287th in rebound rate. His points and rebounding props are heavily juiced to the Over and you can find Over 19.5 points + rebounds at -120. However, given the matchup and forecast, this SGP on Diarra provides plenty of pop at +210.

D.J. Burns has captured the nation with his play during NC State's Sweet 16 run and has been on fire since the postseason began in the ACC tournament. “The Dancing Bear” is averaging 16.6 points in just over 24 minutes of floor time. He’s coming off his second-highest scoring effort of the season, with 24 points in the overtime win against Oakland. That showing and Burns’ exploding popularity has his scoring prop for Friday’s Sweet 16 at 14.5 points O/U with the Over juiced to -135. This could be the perfect time to buy back the Under on Burns. On the season, Burns averaged 12.8 points per game and scored 15 points or more in only four of 20 conference contest before catching fire in the ACC tournament (in which he put up 15-plus in three of five games). Marquette is sound defensively and player projections have Burns forecasted for less than 15 in about 25 minutes of play.

Today's NBA Picks All NBA Picks
The Knicks' recent handiwork includes a 44-point win over the Toronto Raptors, a 25-point win over the Detroit Pistons and a 12-point win over the Brooklyn Nets. Per Cleaning the Glass, they have a +8.9 spread differential over the past two weeks. Despite opening as more than double-digit favorites against both the Pistons and Raptors, they are still far outperforming oddsmaker's expectations.
