Best College Basketball Pick: USC Trojans vs. Gonzaga Bulldogs -8.5 (-110), 7:15 p.m ET
The Zags have now covered in three straight tournament games. This Gonzaga team is going to get a true test against a talented and long USC opponent, but their advantages on the perimeter are great enough to see them through to the next round. USC is a strong team but they are not built to play catchup. Take Gonzaga.

Best NBA Pick: Orlando Magic vs. Los Angeles Clippers -11.5 (-106), 10 p.m ET
In the two games since the Vucevic trade, the Magic have had game totals of 105 and 93. With the level of defense that they will be taking on they will most likely be held under 100 points which is not likely to be enough to keep this one competitive. The Clippers are too deep and too talented, so back them to cover.
