Let's take a look at the odds and lines on DraftKings Sportsbook and make some picks.

Arizona State vs. Stanford odds

Spread: Stanford -3
Over/Under: 138.5
Moneyline: Stanford -155, Arizona State +135

Arizona State (16-8, 7-6 Pac-12) has dropped five of its last six and its NCAA Tournament stock has plummeted over the past three weeks. The Sun Devils were last edged by Oregon in a 75-70 loss last Saturday, a game where they trailed by one with just over a minute left, but were held scoreless in crunch time. DJ Horne led the way with 18 points in the setback.

Stanford (10-13, 4-8 Pac-12) had its five-game winning streak snapped this past Sunday, falling in an 84-62 blowout loss at Colorado. The Cardinal lost this game in the first 10 minutes of the second half where they scored a combined four points during that stretch. Brandon Angel led with 14 points in the loss.

The Pick: Arizona State ML

Arizona State absolutely needs to sweep the Bay Area schools this weekend and I think it picks up the win against Stanford tonight. The Sun Devils' have been great on the defensive end and are holding opponents to just 43% shooting from two. The Cardinal will most likely have a tough time establish any type of rhythm on offense so give me ASU here.
