NHL public betting, line movement for August 29
Patrick Everson

Mathew Barzal and the Islanders made a big Game 2 comeback before losing to the Flyers 4-3 in overtime Wednesday. The Islanders opened -120 favorites at Caesars for Saturday's Game 3.

NHL betting odds are up for a Saturday playoff slate of three semifinal games. The Philadelphia Flyers and New York Islanders return to the ice for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference series, and the Vegas Golden Knights and Vancouver Canucks also meet in Game 3, in the Western Conference semis.

Caesars sportsbooks provided insights on NHL opening lines and early line movement, sharp money and public betting for Saturday’s contests.

NHL odds movement

On Wednesday, the Flyers blew a 3-0 Game 2 lead, ultimately getting forced to overtime, where they scored less than three minutes in to beat the Islanders 4-3 and tie the series. Game 3 opened Islanders -120/Flyers +105 at Caesars books, and there was no line movement by late Friday night for this 7 p.m. ET clash.

Vegas and Vancouver are also knotted at a game apiece, after the Canucks rebounded from a 5-0 Game 1 bashing to take Tuesday’s Game 2, 5-2. Caesars sportsbooks opened at Golden Knights -200/Canucks +175 Friday morning, and there was no line movement by late Friday night for this 9:45 p.m. ET start.

NHL public betting

The Consensus is often indicative of public opinion, and Saturday’s early matchup – a noon ET Game 4 between the Lightning and the Bruins – showed two-way play. Tampa Bay was landing 55 percent of early picks and Boston 45 percent. Caesars pegged the line Tampa Bay -115/Boston even money.

LA Lakers vs Portland Trail Blazers 8/28/20 - NBA

The Los Angeles Lakers look to eliminate the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday when the two meet for Game 5 of their best of seven NBA Western Conference quarterfinals series. The Lakers defeated Portland in Game 4 135-115. LeBron James scored 30 points and handed out 10 assists in just 28 minutes of action while Anthony Davis chipped in with 18 points but played just 18 minutes due to back spasms.

Through four postseason games, Anthony Davis is leading Los Angeles in scoring with an average of 26.5 points per game. LeBron James is the second-leading scorer, leading rebounder and leader in assists with averages of 25.3 points, 10.2 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game. Los Angeles has just four players averaging double-figures in scoring.

The Portland Trail Blazers will be on the brink of elimination when playing Game 5 on Friday in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinals best-of-seven series against the Los Angeles Lakers.The Trailblazers following the defeat in Game 4 trail 3-1 in the series. Portland trailed by 18 points after the first quarter and by 29 at the half and could not mount a second half rally. Jusuf Nurkic scored 20 points in the loss.

Damian Lillard is leading Portland in scoring and assists with averages of 24.2 points and 4.2 assists per game through four games of the postseason. Jusuf Nurkic is the leading rebounder for Portland with an average of 10.5 per game. CJ McCollum is the second leading scorer with an average of 20.0 points per game and is one of four players for Portland averaging double figures in scoring.

Recent Betting Trends

Los Angeles is 4-9 ATS in its 13
The UNDER has cashed in 10 of the Lakers last 15
Portland is 1-5 ATS in its last 6
The OVER has cashed in 7 of the Trail Blazers last 10

Free NBA Pick: Under 230

The Los Angeles Lakers will defeat the Portland Trail Blazers in Game 5 and clinch the series, but the play here is the UNDER. The UNDER has cashed in 10 of the Lakers last 15. In this series, the UNDER has cashed in three of four games. Damian Lillard hurt his knee for Portland and is questionable while Anthony Davis suffered back spasms for Los Angeles and could rest. Take the UNDER to cash. Final Score Prediction, Los Angeles Lakers win but our best play is UNDER 113-102.

Houston Rockets vs OKC Thunder 8/29/20 - NBA

The Houston Rockets look to bounce back with a victory and take a one-game lead in their NBA Western Conference quarterfinals series against the Oklahoma City Thunder when they play Game 5 on Friday. Houston lost Game 4 of the series on Monday 117-114. James Harden scored 32 points, handed out 15 assists and pulled down eight rebounds in the loss for Houston. Eric Gordon chipped in with 23 points. Russell Westbrook did not play for the fourth consecutive game due to a strained quad.

During the postseason, James Harden is leading Houston in scoring, rebounding and assists. The Houston shooting guard is averaging 32.0 points, 7.8 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game. Harden is even leading the Rockets in steals with an average of 2.0 per game. Houston has five players averaging double-figures in scoring.

The OVER has cashed in 4 of the Rockets last 6 versus a Western Conference opponent
Oklahoma City is 2-5 ATS in its last 7 versus an opponent from the Western Conference
The OVER has cashed in 6 of the Thunder’s last 8

Free NBA Pick: Oklahoma City Thunder +3

Houston is missing its second leading scorer and leading rebounder Russell Westbrook, who has missed the first four games of the series and is likely to miss Game 5. The Rockets have failed to cover the number in each of the last two games versus Oklahoma City with both resulting in straight up losses. Look for that trend to continue on Wednesday with OKC winning and covering. Final Score Prediction, Oklahoma City Thunder wins and cover ATS 119-111.

Bucks at Magic 8/29/20 - NBA

The Friday NBA Playoff schedule will tip-off with a matchup between the Orlando Magic and the Milwaukee Bucks from the Walt Disney World Resort. The eighth seeded Magic are undermanned and on the brink of elimination. In Game Four, Orlando was outscored by 12 points during the fourth quarter of a 121-106 loss.The Magic connected on 18-for-45 from the three-point line in defeat.

All-Star C Nikola Vucevic continued his stellar play with 31 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. Markelle Fultz added 15 points and seven assists in a losing effort for the Magic.

The Milwaukee Bucks boycotted Wednesday’s Game Five by choosing to stay in the locker room to protest social injustice. On Monday, the Bucks used a 21-2 run starting late in the third quarter and extending into the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach. Milwaukee assisted on 29 of their 45 made field goals and shot 50 percent from the field.

MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo matched a game-high with 31 points on 14-for-21 shooting and grabbed 15 rebounds. Khris Middleton contributed 21 points and ten rebounds for the Bucks.

Real Salt Lake at Portland Timbers 8/29/20 - MLS (Soccer)

Two teams that are coming off opposite results in their return from the MLS IS BACK Tournament will now clash against one another, when Portland will play host to Real Salt Lake on Saturday. Portland did great to win the Tournament but suffered a heavy loss against Seattle. Real Salt Lake returned to regular season duties with a strong win against Colorado.

Portland (3-2-1) are coming off a really balanced match at home against Cascadia rivals Seattle, where they saw their opponents scored three goals in the second half to force them to a harsh 3-0 loss. Portland have been excellent so far in the season, losing just two of their ten matches in all competitions so far (6-2-2). They are sitting at the 4th spot of the league table with 10 points, scoring 8 goals and conceding 10 in the process.

Real Salt Lake (2-1-3) destroyed Colorado by a confident 4-1 on the road in their last match, in a match where they scored an own goal at the first half. But they exploded in the second half, scoring four goals and reaching a really solid victory. Real Salt Lake did a solid job in the group stage of the MLS IS BACK Tournament (1-1-1) but were demolished in the knockout round by 2-5 in the hands of San Jose. They are now sitting at the 6th spot of the league table with 9 points, scoring 7 goals and conceding just 4 (San Jose’s five goals in the knockout round do not count towards the regular season).

Free Soccer Pick: Portland Timbers -112

Portland won both matches against Real Salt Lake last season, but it was Real Salt Lake who eventually beat them in the Conference knock-out round. Portland just barely have the upper hand as hosts in this match-up (4-3-5), but have lost just one of their last seven (3-1-3). Portland will be eager to bounce back after a tough loss against Seattle and I am backing them here.
