Why the Thunder can cover
Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is having an MVP-caliber campaign. Gilgeous-Alexander uses his length to glide to the rim and shoot right over the outstretched arms of defenders. The Kentucky product also owns an excellent mid-range jumper with the court vision to find open teammates. He’s third in the NBA in scoring (31.3) with 5.8 rebounds and 6.3 assists. On Jan. 13 versus the Magic, Gilgeous-Alexander totaled 37 points, six boards and seven assists.

Forward Chet Holmgren (7-foot-1) has the length to be an effective shot-blocker and owns a soft touch around the rim. Holmgren is putting up 17.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. On Jan. 10 against the Heat, he racked up 23 points, nine rebounds and three blocks. See which team to pick here.

Why the Clippers can cover
Forward Kawhi Leonard is having a superb campaign for Los Angeles. Leonard is almost automatic from mid-range and does a great job drawing contact at the rim. The five-time All-Star averages a team-high 24 points with 6.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game. In his last outing, Leonard supplied 26 points, nine boards and four assists.

Forward Paul George generates offense from all three levels. George’s offensive arsenal is so smooth due to his jumper and relentlessness in attacking the paint. The eight-time All-Star averages 23.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists. On Jan. 12 against the Grizzlies, George notched 37 points, three boards and went 7-of-10 from downtown.

Clippers’ Ivica Zubac to be re-evaluated in four weeks due to calf strain, per report

Los Angeles Clippers’ starting center Ivica Zubac is dealing with a right calf strain and will be re-evaluated in four weeks, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. Such an absence is highly unusual for Zubac, who had missed only 12 games since joining the Clippers in 2019 prior to Tuesday’s news.

Zubac’s absence will be significant for a Clippers team that has been playing very well of late. After losing their first five games with James Harden, the Clippers have gone 22-6 since. The developing chemistry between Harden and Zubac in pick-and-roll has been a big reason for that success. Zubac is averaging a career-high 12.4 points and 1.4 blocks per game this season. As a team, the Clippers have been 8.6 points per 100 possessions better with him on the floor than without him this season. He is their defensive anchor and an increasingly important part of their offense, so he will be missed while he is out.

Fortunately, the Clippers are getting former backup center Mason Plumlee back from the injury he suffered earlier this season. They have also gotten good production out of Daniel Theis, whom they signed after he was bought out by the Indiana Pacers earlier in the season. The two of them should be able to keep the Clippers afloat while Zubac recovers, and if necessary, Los Angeles has enough forward depth to potentially play small-ball for stretches. P.J. Tucker has largely been out of the rotation lately, but Zubac’s absence could earn him a few small-ball center minutes.

Injuries were expected to be a problem for the Clippers this season as they have for the past several, but Zubac was the last player they expected to lose. Fortunately, Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, who have both dealt with myriad injuries since joining the Clippers, have largely been able to remain on the court. As long as they have their stars, the Clippers can survive a stretch without their starting center.

Underdogs fight hard in wonky regular-season finales

We’ve made it. The final week of the USFL regular season. Thank you to all who have followed my picks this year — it’s been an interesting experience — and now we march into what is probably the most interesting week from a gambling perspective.

Week 10 of the USFL regular season will likely play out much like Week 18 of the NFL regular season. Playoff teams could rest their starters, so we have no idea what to expect in a few of these matchups. Lower your unit, your half-unit, whatever it may be. This isn’t the week to pay the mortgage. We can save some more fun plays for next week.

For USFL championship odds, click here. Let’s jump into the picks.

USFL ATS record: 20-16
USFL straight up record: 25-11

All odds are via Caesars Sportsbook

Philadelphia Stars at New Jersey Generals (-2.5)
Saturday, 12 p.m. ET (USA Network)
ATS records: Stars (5-4), Generals (5-4)

This is pretty wild. The Stars and Generals will play each other this week, and then next week in the playoffs as well. The way I view it, head coaches Bart Andrus and Mike Riley won’t want to give much away in terms of game-planning. Both teams should probably start their reserves and prepare for next week. There is something to be said about establishing some momentum for yourself entering the postseason, but that takes a back seat in my mind if I have to play the team I’ll face in a do-or-die situation the very next week.

The Stars are on a four-game winning streak, and the Generals haven’t lost since way back in Week 1. There isn’t much of a point in betting this matchup, but I’ll take the favorite.

The pick: Generals -2.5
Projected score: Generals 20-17

Birmingham Stallions (-3.5) at Tampa Bay Bandits
Saturday, 4 p.m. ET (Fox)
ATS records: Stallions (6-3), Bandits (3-6)

The Stallions began the season 6-0 ATS, but are 0-3 ATS over the last three weeks. The main headline, of course, is Birmingham losing its first game of the season last week to the Houston Gamblers, but I don’t know how much stock we want to put into that outcome. Vegas still views the Stallions as the favorite to win the USFL Championship.

The Stallions would like to create some momentum for themselves after a bad couple weeks, but I’m sure Skip Holtz wants to keep his team healthy as well. I’m going to bet on the underdog Bandits and hope that the Stallions either mail this one in, or just fail to cover the spread.

The pick: Bandits +3.5
Projected score: Stallions 21-18

Michigan Panthers (-2.5) at Pittsburgh Maulers
Sunday, 12 p.m. ET (USA Network)
ATS records: Panthers (3-6), Maulers (4-5)

Here’s a game we can feel maybe a bit more comfortable betting on. While the Panthers and Maulers won’t be in the playoffs, I would guess they want to finish out the season in a strong fashion as opposed to just going through the motions. I could be wrong, we’ll see. These are the two worst teams in the league.

The Panthers haven’t won a game since May 1, and that actually came against the Maulers. While Michigan is on the longest active losing streak in the league, it has kept games relatively close when Josh Love has played. The Panthers lost by two points to the Generals last week, and lost to the New Orleans Breakers in overtime three weeks ago. Love did not play in the 46-24 loss to the Stars two weeks ago. The quarterback situation this week will be interesting to watch, as Eric Barriere and Love both took snaps last week.

The Maulers have held a soft spot in my heart. Vad Lee is my favorite quarterback on the team, and he fights to the end. So does this team as a whole, as we saw last week. I’ll take a flier on the Maulers.

The pick: Maulers +2.5
Projected score: Maulers 24-21

New Orleans Breakers (-3) at Houston Gamblers
Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET (FS1)
ATS records: Breakers (6-3), Gamblers (4-5)

I’m proud of my ATS win last week for New Orleans. That defense came out vs. Tampa Bay and dominated from the jump. Jerod Fernandez forced two fumbles in the first half, and New Orleans recorded three total sacks in the first two quarters. The Breakers also have the best passing offense in the league, as they average 204.1 passing yards per game, but are they going to be throwing the ball all over the field after clinching a playoff spot?

The Gamblers handed the Stallions their first loss of the season last week, which is something we should not completely overlook. The defense recorded a safety, an interception and two sacks. I’ll take an upset in this matchup with New Orleans looking toward the postseason.

QB Kyle Sloter among honorees who could make the leap to NFL

As the new United States Football League (USFL) approaches its inaugural postseason, dozens of players across the startup’s eight teams have been honored as part of the All-USFL Team, announced Thursday. In the NFL, meanwhile, teams are gearing up for crunch time of the offseason, with 90-man rosters preparing for training camp and preseason competitions.

So which USFL all-stars have the best chance of making the leap to the NFL, even if just as offseason competition? Here are some names to keep an eye on this summer:

QB Kyle Sloter
Team: New Orleans Breakers | Age: 28 | College: Northern Colorado

You’ve probably heard his name before, because he’s already spent time with seven different NFL teams, mostly as a No. 3 or practice-squad veteran. But the ex-Vikings prospect could find himself back in a battle for an emergency role after leading the USFL in passing yards and ranking fifth in touchdowns. Most recently, he fought through an injury to help lead New Orleans to a playoff berth. At 28, he’s still plenty young enough to be somebody’s camp arm.

WR/KR Maurice Alexander
Team: Philadelphia Stars | Age: 25 | College: Florida International

A converted college quarterback who split time at receiver and returner before going undrafted in 2020, Alexander is small (5-11, 180) but speedy, leading the USFL in kick return yards (707) and averaging over 30 yards per runback. He’s also been dynamic on punt returns, averaging 12.6 yards per return. His athleticism could justify a look as a hybrid running back/receiver/return man.

DE Chris Odom
Team: Houston Gamblers | Age: 27 | College: Arkansas State

You can never have enough pass-rushers in the NFL, and Odom doesn’t just have his own NFL experience, floating between practice squads and active rosters with Washington and the Packers between 2017-2019, logging two sacks with the former. He’s also been dominant in a starring role in the USFL, leading the league with 11 sacks to go along with six forced fumbles.

LB DeMarquis Gates
Team: Birmingham Stallions | Age: 26 | College: Ole Miss

Just call him the king of developmental leagues. Since a short-lived stint with the Browns as an undrafted rookie, Gates has wreaked havoc in the AAF, XFL and now the USFL, leading the league in tackles for loss (10) while adding 5.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. He’s got the size (6-2, 230) and playmaking reputation to vie for a reserve LB job.

The first big officiating blunder, no one can stop Houston, DC’s defense rebounds

One of the great things about the XFL is that there are no secrets. The league makes it a point to show you everything that’s going on as it’s unfolding, warts and all.

And the biggest wart of the season thus far came in Saturday’s 32-23 win by Houston over Seattle. The mistakes were layered, but it started when Roughnecks quarterback P.J. Walker opted to take a knee on fourth-and-23 with about two or three seconds left in the game instead of hurling the ball deep and out of bounds to wind out the clock. The officials on the field didn’t identify that there was still time on the clock, declared the game over, and ran off the field. Afterward, officiating supervisor Wes Booker told ABC’s Steve Levy that there should have been time remaining for the Dragons to run one more play, but that the game was over anyway.

It was an egregious error and one of the most bizarre endings for a football game in a while. While the outcome may not have changed if Seattle had an opportunity for one more play and a three-point conversion, the Dragons nevertheless deserved the opportunity to send the game into overtime. With that in mind, the logistics of getting those plays off after the fact are difficult. To wrangle up all the players, coaches and various staff members and get them back out on the sidelines is a chore. Communication is key and obviously the league, still in its infancy, wasn’t prepared for a miscue like this.

The league did the right thing (the only thing) by issuing a statement later that evening, acknowledging the game should not have ended as it did and reassigning Booker to another position. You don’t like to see anyone be made an example of, but a precedence has to be set. Booker got the worst of it, but the officials on the field have to do a better job as well. Multiple Seattle players pleaded their case that time was still on the clock and they went unheard.

This was a learning experience for the XFL on how to handle mistakes in real time, and it won’t be the last. These are the growing pains of a new league whose purpose is to provide opportunities for all people — not just players. But the league did what it should have done by being transparent. The mistake has been made and there’s no going back, but you won’t lose anyone’s respect by owning up to it.

While the XFL’s officiating gaffe was the weekend’s biggest story, there were plenty of other takeaways from each of the four games. Here’s what else we learned from Week 5.

There’s no defending Houston’s explosiveness
At least not for 60 minutes. Seattle’s run-heavy offense was a good matchup on paper for Houston’s passing attack. By controlling the clock with the run game, the Dragons could shorten the game and keep Walker and Co. off the field. It worked for three quarters; the Dragons had a 23-20 lead heading into the fourth quarter and the offense had a season-high 32 rushing attempts for 100 yards and three touchdowns. Using quarterback B.J. Daniels’ legs was a nice complement to Kenneth Farrow and Trey Williams.

But you have to pick and choose your spots to live on the edge when you’re playing the Roughnecks. Why? Houston scored 26 of its 32 points in two quarters. Obviously, having Walker, Cam Phillips, Sam Mobley and others helps, but the comeback was also a credit to coaching. June Jones has little, if any, regard for down and distance. At some point this is going to be to a fault, but for now it means Houston enjoying the fruits of being arguably the most aggressive team in the XFL. And, candidly, this is not a league for conservative play-calling. The best example of this was Seattle coach Jim Zorn opting to punt on fourth-and-1 near midfield in the second quarter. One play later, Walker connected with Mobley for 42 yards. Zorn would have been just as well served to go for it and fail to get it. Houston has been playing it close a lot and one of these weeks it’s going to bite them in the rear, but that won’t happen until their opponent matches that aggressiveness.

DC’s defense was the difference vs. St. Louis
The Defenders took down the BattleHawks 15-6 Sunday afternoon in a battle of field goals. The only thing more impressive than DC’s defensive effort was the beer snake fans put together in the stands. But that’s another story for another day. DC’s defense showed up in a big way against the second-highest scoring offense in the XFL by allowing zero touchdowns, less than three yards per play and nabbing four sacks on quarterback Jordan Ta’amu. St. Louis, playing behind the sticks practically all day, was 25% on third downs (4-of-16) and 0-for on two key fourth-down attempts. And when he wasn’t sacked, Ta’amu was almost constantly on the run. For a team that loves to run the ball, those types of negative plays are lethal. DC’s quarterback switch from Cardale Jones to Tyree Jackson did just enough offensively to come away with the win, but the defense, which had allowed 32 points per game in its previous two losses, was lights out. There’s something to be said for XFL teams playing at home vs. on the road. Other than Dallas, which has enjoyed all its success away from Globe Life Park, just about every XFL team has been much better at home. That was definitely the case for DC’s defense on Sunday. Still, when the Defenders needed a win, the defense played arguably its best game yet.

New York’s success rooted in its ground game
Yes, the Guardians are 2-0 since switching to Luis Perez at quarterback. And, to be sure, he’s been better for the offense. However, don’t overlook what the running game has done for this offense. New York had its best day on the ground this season with 144 yards on 32 attempts — a healthy 4.5 yards per carry with only three tackles for loss. Perez does a better job making good decisions with his passes. His lone interception against Dallas in a 30-12 win was more of a great individual play by Josh Hawkins. But with Darius Victor emerging as a nice bell-cow back, there’s more of a reliability to New York’s offense that wasn’t there in the first couple of weeks. This is true for a lot of teams and it’s a byproduct of not having a preseason. With its second win in a row, New York is now 3-2 and tied for first (!!!) in the East division.

Dallas’ struggles are more than the quarterback
You couldn’t pin the Renegades’ Week 1 loss on Philip Nelson, and Saturday’s loss to the Guardians was bigger than just him, too. Obviously, throwing two interceptions, including a pick-six, wasn’t ideal, but neither was playing from behind for the second half. In all, the Guardians only ran 62 plays to Dallas’ 67, but the Guardians had four successful scoring drives resulting in offensive points to the Renegades’ two — neither of which resulted in a touchdown. Landry Jones — who has seven interceptions, mind you — won’t be back for another week or two, but at the halfway point it’s fair to wonder if Dallas’ problems are more than whoever’s at quarterback. There’s no running game and the defense has progressively taken a step back each week. The six yards per play allowed Saturday was a season low.

Week 5 MVP: L.A. Wildcats QB Josh Johnson
When he wasn’t berating his offensive coordinator, Johnson was throwing dimes down the field to the tune of 288 yards and four touchdowns in a 41-34 win over Tampa Bay. Johnson overcame a slow start and helped his team come from behind thanks to some gorgeous downfield throws. The subplot with him and offensive coordinator Norm Chow will be something to watch moving forward, but he was money on the field Sunday evening.

Defenders coach Pep Hamilton says he planned to bench Cardale Jones, who will start in Week 6

Don’t call it a quarterback controversy for the DC Defenders. Following his team’s 15-6 win over St. Louis, not only did coach Pep Hamilton assert that Cardale Jones would start in Week 6, but that benching Jones following his seventh interception of the season actually planned.

“That was Cardale just trying to make a play. I don’t fault him for that,” Hamilton said, via Tom Schad of USA Today. “That was a heck of a play by the safety or whoever it was that picked the ball off.”

Jones was replaced by Tyree Jackson, who immediately came in and led the Defenders to their only touchdown drive of the day. Jackson was decent, but by no means great, in the win, going 9 of 14 on his passes for 39 yards. However, he provided more of a designed running threat than Jones.

“We know that (Jones) can do anything that we ask him to do,” Hamilton added. “Tyree, on the other hand, is 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds and is really more of a dynamic runner. … If he just falls forward, that’s five yards. His body’s like eight yards long.”

It wouldn’t be surprising for DC to go with both quarterbacks in role playing capacities moving forward. Even before being pulled against the BattleHawks, Jones was coming off of two dreadful performances in back-to-back losses in Weeks 3 and 4. This might turn into a thing where Hamilton goes with the rhythm of a game depending on which player has the hot hand. That’s been Jackson most recently, if for no other reason than he hasn’t been arm punting his way into infamy.

Oliver Luck, XFL commissioner, contributes cup to Defenders fans’ beer snake

XFL commissioner Oliver Luck is doing everything that he can to make the XFL a success story. During Sunday’s game between the St. Louis BattleHawks and DC Defenders, he went the extra mile and made his personal contribution to the Defenders’ beer snake. Luck walked over to the section of Defenders fans and handed a plastic cup to them so that it could be added to the already lengthy line of cups.

As Luck walked over, he twirled the cup in the air to get the fans going. The fans appreciated Luck’s contribution as they started “MVP” chants” for the XFL commissioner.

Clearly Luck is endearing himself to the XFL fanbase and willing to do absolutely anything to accomplish that goal. The beer snake has become a weekly phenomenon at Defenders’ home games at Audi Field.

Perhaps it was just the juju that the Defenders needed to get back to their winning ways after a pair of consecutive losses. The Defenders got back on track with a 15-6 win over the BattleHawks to bring their record to 3-2 on the season. Quarterback Tyree Jackson saw the bulk of the playing time for the Defenders and ended up tossing a touchdown pass despite only having 39 passing yards.

Here are our MVPs, Coach of the Year and All-XFL team at the halfway point

The front half of the XFL’s inaugural season is officially in the books — five games down, five to go with the playoffs arriving in April. The season hasn’t disappointed. Houston is must-see TV at 5-0 with the (spoiler alert!) leader for league MVP, quarterback P.J. Walker. Elsewhere, three teams sit at 3-2 atop the East. That race will be fascinating to watch over the next month.

As we look ahead to the final five games, let’s take a moment and hand out superlatives for the XFL’s Offensive and Defensive MVPs, as well as the Coach of the Year, for the first half. We also have our Midseason All-XFL team. Keep in mind that with such a limited sample size and data pool, there will be players selected who have either had an “off” game or two, or have been sidelined with injuries. End-of-season awards will be much easier to compile. Still, these are players who have at least shown flashes of greatness and are worthy of being recognized.

Offensive MVP
Houston Roughnecks QB P.J. Walker: Quarterback play is going to drive this league and Walker is the face of that. He’s had a greater impact on his team, and the league, than anyone else. He leads the XFL with 1,338 yards passing and 16 total touchdowns. He’s a show every time he drops back or takes off running. Will he get a NFL contract at the end of this season? It seems likely so long as he’s healthy, but there’s no guarantee he’d start. It makes more financial sense to go to the NFL, but he’s already a star in the XFL.

Defensive MVP
St. Louis BattleHawks S Will Hill: Houston linebacker Demarquis Gates nearly made this a clean sweep for the Roughnecks, but Hill has been a Swiss Army weapon for the BattleHawks’ defense. The safety has 33 tackles, 4 tackles for loss and 3 sacks, so he’s capable of coming up in the box or on a blitz and making an impact. On the back end, he has a pair of interceptions and pass deflections. Just about every player has had at least one “off” week, but Hill has been consistently great through five games.

Coach of the Year
June Jones, Houston Roughnecks: It helps when you have Walker, but Jones embodies a lot of the things that can make for a fun XFL. He’s hyper aggressive and pass-happy with almost no regard for situational down-and-distance football. He has the best player in the league and he doesn’t shy away from using him. He makes watching the XFL fun. Oh, and his team is the only unbeaten remaining. So, yes, after five games Jones is our leader for Coach of the Year.
