Metro Atlantic Conference matchup here tonight between Fairfield and Iona. The Fairfield Stags are 7-9 S/U and 11-4 ATS on the season. The Stags have started conference play well, going 3-2 S/U and ATS. They have won two straight games and have covered nine of their last 12 games. Iona having a bad season thus far at 3-8 S/U and 2-9 ATS. The Gaels are 1-3 S/U and ATS in their four conference games. They are coming off a home loss to Niagara, 69-70 as a 8 1/2 point favorite. This team has covered just once in their last seven games. Fairfield getting points here on Friday is a bargain. My number actually has Fairfield as a favorite. I'm taking the visitor tonight. Play Fairfield.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are one of the worst teams in the Eastern conference, just third from the bottom with only the Knicks and Hawks below them. The Cavs have also lost two straight games and seven of their last 10. Cleveland is 9-11 ATS on the road this year and being outscored by 12 points per game. Meanwhile, the Memphis Grizzlies are holding onto that 8th spot in the West, just 1 1/2 games ahead of San Antonio and Portland. The Grizzlies are hot though, winning six straight and eight of their last 10 games. The Grizzlies have also covered six straight games and are 13-10 ATS at home. The Grizzlies are the hottest team in the West and I like them today laying the points. Play Memphis.
