Other Notable Events

The Heat have rebounded this season to sit at 23-19 straight-up in the Southeast Division standings, but they haven't made cash for their supporters at just 20-21-1 against-the-spread. Dwyane Wade and company upset Orlando 103-97 in their last game, and they'll be looking to knock off another division rival on Monday when they host Atlanta. Wade picked up 27 points and six assists in that victory.

There are a half-dozen other games on the NBA schedule for Monday, including the 21-21 Sixers looking to move over the .500 mark when they take on the Hornets in New Orleans. Rounding out the slate: Phoenix at Washington, Houston at New York, Minnesota at Milwaukee, and New Jersey at Oklahoma City, while Greg Oden's Trail Blazers will look for a road win against the Clippers.

The Rest of the Schedule

The big college hoops matchup on Monday has Marquette on the road in Notre Dame. The Golden Eagles (17-2 SU, 7-6-1 ATS) are on a nine-game winning streak, knocking off DePaul 79-70 in their last outing. The Fighting Irish (12-6 SU, 5-8 ATS) fell 69-61 to Connecticut in their last contest, extending their skid to three games. Notre Dame's last win came against Seton Hall back on January 10.

The top team in action on Monday, though, is Oklahoma, which sits at 19-1 SU and 9-6 ATS this season. The Sooners blasted Baylor 95-76 last time out, and they'll be looking to do the same to rival Oklahoma State on Monday night.
