The NCAA tournament is expanding from 68 to 76 teams, with 12 opening-round games replacing the traditional 'First Four' in Dayton and Las Vegas.
LeBron James is expected to carry the Lakers in Game 2 against the Thunder, with his player prop at 20.5 points and a strong case for going over.
Dwayne Colucci believes the Philadelphia Flyers will bounce back in Game 3 despite being down 2-0 to Carolina, citing their need to elevate their play.
The Pistons' defensive grind against the Cavs has driven the total down to 2.04, and the live line is now 9.5 in favor of Detroit.
