UTEP MINERS -7 over Rice Owls parlayed with UCLA BRUINS pk over Washington Huskies------UCLA's beaten UNLV and Gonzaga so they're probably a better team than Wash,  who beat Seattle and Montana.(Lose 96-93 and 61-60..........Atrocity.  4 TO's and 4 PF's by Hooper Vint in only 17 minutes of play.........Miners lost the 2nd half badly.......expected more than 12pts from Omega Harris......Andrew Andrews career-hi 35pts and 15pts by Malik Dime for Washington.  UCLA fails for me but it wouldn't have mattered.)

PHILADELPHIA 76ers +3.5 over Los Angeles Lakers----76ers have 3 wins this year;  Lakers have 6.  Both teams coming off wins,  which is rare.  Lakers have the home revenge--and normally I'd bet on that.  But I bet Lakers with the home revenge recently...........and they lost for me(against Houston).  So we'll try to punish them for that loss here.   76ers are on a 2-1 run over their last 3 !!(Lose 93-84.........Isaiah Canaan 1-8 on 3s plus 3 TOs..........Ish Smith 3-19 FG ?????  God, that's bad.  Nik Stauskas 0-5 on 3s)
