Thursday’s postponement of the Cardinal’s matchup with USC was a blessing. As many as four players -- Stanford’s second-, third- and fifth-leading scorers -- might have bypassed the game with injuries. G Bryce Wills seems almost certain to sit, while the status of F Ziaire Williams and G Daejon Davis remains unclear. At below full strength, the Cardinal would prefer to avoid UCLA, the Pac-12 frontrunner which has covered in seven of the last 10 roadies and is 14-5-1 ATS since the Bruins got adjusted to then-new coach Mick Cronin last season. The setting in Santa Cruz is a neutral court, though Stanford has logged four games there. Take UCLA.
