Line/Total: Pittsburgh -11 & 136.5

Pittsburgh goes for its 10th straight victory, and eighth win in a row in Big East play, when it hosts Notre Dame in a matchup of two Top 20 teams.

There is no tougher venue to visit in-conference than Petersen Events Center, which doesn’t bode well for a Notre Dame team that is 0-3 on the road, losing by 12, 22 and 18 points. The Irish are scoring a meager 56.3 PPG on 41.1% FG in these three contests. They have made an excellent 36.9% of their three-pointers this year, but that number dips to 24.6% in seven games when they leave South Bend. Ben Hansbrough is big reason for this discrepancy, with 18.8 PPG and 46% three-pointers at home, compared to just 13.0 PPG and 27% three-pointers on the road. Hansbrough pumped in 28 points in Saturday’s 80-75 win over Marquette to increase his team-best scoring average to 16.4 PPG this season.

Pittsburgh has been absolutely dominant in Big East play with a 5-2 ATS mark, outscoring conference foes by 14.5 PPG. The Panthers are out-shooting their Big East opponents 49.1% to 38.8% FG, and hold a rebounding margin of +9.3 RPG in conference games. In the past three contests, Pittsburgh has an incredible +17.7 RPG margin, thanks to Gary McGhee who has three straight 10-rebound games, including a career-high 15 boards in Saturday’s 80-50 blowout win at DePaul. Pittsburgh has held every opponent under 45% FG during its nine-game win streak due to head coach Jamie Dixon’s frequent substitutions. The Panthers have great balance with six players averaging at least 7.0 PPG and nine players averaging 12+ minutes per game with only one logging over 30 minutes per contest -- 31.3 MPG for leading scorer Ashton Gibbs.

Basketball Odds News

Damian Lillard Next Team Odds

When the notification came across the phone from Shams Charania that the Milwaukee Bucks had signed Myles Turner to a four-year contract, initial instinct was there must be more because the Bucks can’t fit him under the salary cap as a free agent.

Seattle Storm vs. Golden State Valkyries Prop Bets June 29

The Seattle Storm (10-6) face the Golden State Valkyries (8-7) on Sunday, June 29, 2025 at Chase Center. This game begins at 8:30 p.m. ET on CW Seattle, KPIX+, and KMAX 31, and features a spread of Storm -5 (-220 on the moneyline). 

Jaylen Brown Next Team Odds

The Boston Celtics shipped Kristaps Porziņgis and Jrue Holiday this week, shedding a ton of payroll, but they could offload even more if a trade partner for Jaylen Brown emerges.
