Ice Picks: Sunday's Best NHL Bets

Pittsburgh Penguins at Philadelphia Flyers N/A

Watch out Rangers! The Penguins have already left Philly in their rearview mirror in the standings and are now just two points behind New York for first place in the Atlantic Division and the Eastern Conference.

Pittsburgh has won a whopping 11 in a row and the team has scored 15 goals in its last three. In fact, the Pens have won three consecutive games this week 5-1, including on Thursday at the Rangers and on Saturday at the Devils.

To make matters even better, Sidney Crosby is finally back from a concussion. He had not played since December 5 but returned to notch two assists in his first game back and three more on Saturday.

"As far as seeing the things you want to see and getting the little habits that you're used to in a certain spot, that's going to take time," Crosby said. "But I have a comfort level. Feel like I can make plays out there."

Pick: Penguins

Washington Capitals at Chicago Blackhawks (-150, 5.5)

Look for the Capitals to play like a desperate team on Sunday. They are just two points ahead of Winnipeg for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference after losing at the Jets 3-2 on Friday.

“We really needed the points in the standings to create some separation,” right wing Troy Brouwer said. “But now it’s going to make this race a little bit tighter.”

Washington may be able to get those points against Chicago. The Caps have won the last three meetings between the two squads and six of the last seven. However, they have yet to face each other this season.

The Blackhawks will be shorthanded for Sunday's showdown. Center Jonathan Toews (29 goals, 28 assists) is still out with an upper body injury and will not return for at least another week. Goalie Ray Emery is questionable due to illness and thus Corey Crawford will likely mind the net. Defenseman Steve Montador (14 points) is doubtful with a concussion and left wing Michael Frolik (14 points) is questionable because of the flu.

Pick: Capitals

Pick 'n' Roll: Sunday's Best NBA Bets

Orlando Magic at Miami Heat (-8.5, 188.5)

It may seem hard to believe, but Dwight Howard is staying in Orlando for the foreseeable future. The trade deadline didn't just come and go, it came with Howard re-upping with the Magic.

And they played like an inspired team in their first game since the end of the chaos. In front of a joyous home crowd on Friday, Orlando hammered New Jersey 86-70. Howard played just 32 minutes but made eight of 10 field goals for 18 points while grabbing six rebounds.

"There was nothing we could have done about the situation other than play basketball," Jameer Nelson said of the big man's status. "With human nature, it was probably bothering certain guys more than others. But, at the same time, we were still winning games."

The Heat are generally winning games as well, but they have cooled off a bit of late. Miami is 4-4 in its last eight and a mere 2-6 ATS in that span. Take the Magic and the generous 8.5 points.

Pick: Magic

Portland Trail Blazers at Oklahoma City Thunder (-10, 199.5)

Portland won its first game under interim head coach Kaleb Canales, and it did so in alarming fashion. The Blazers went into Chicago on Friday and beat the Derrick Rose-less Bulls 100-89.

However, that is likely an aberration rather than the rule for the lowly Blazers. They are 3-7 overall and also 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games. They are two games under .500 and in last place in the Northwest Division. They just waived perennially-injured Greg Oden and traded Gerald Wallace to the Nets.

"I think as we evaluated our team in the last couple weeks, we've been very displeased with our performance on the court," explained general manager Chad Buchanan. "It's not Trail Blazer basketball. It was very disappointing. And that's kind of where we got to the decision (to make a trade)."

The Thunder, meanwhile, are coming off a 114-105 home loss to San Antonio on Friday. Look for them to come out mad on Sunday, because they have not lost two in a row since January 3 (their only back-to-back losses of the season).

Oklahoma City is still 18-4 at home (11-11 ATS)

Pick: Thunder

Sharky Sports

Michigan State -7 (-102) for 2 units- I'm a big fan of this St. Louis ball squad and the job tremendous job that Coach Majerus has done with his boys this year. As is typical with all St. Louis teams of the past, this team is tremendously disciplined and fundamental on both the offensive and defensive ends. Defensively, St. Louis switches between a few different looks, and I expect them to be in a sort of match-up zone for most of this game tomorrow to try to balance out Mich St's size and athleticism. Offensively, they run a sort of "flex" offense, playing inside-out with their prominent big man Conklin and rely on timely drives from their explosive guard Kwamain Mitchell. The reason this team was so effective this year and lived up to their high expectations has been the unprecedented improvement of Conklin down low, as he's become a true force in the paint. Conklin is not an athletically-gifted player, nor does he stand out physically at only 6'6'' 230 lbs. However, he is one of those players who always seems to be in the right place at the right time. He is very fundamental with his post moves and knows how to score against bigger opponents, while also being a solid passer. With his effectiveness down low, teams throughout the season have had to focus on him, which has really opened up the outside shot for St. Louis, which is a team that heavily relies on the three as a go-to option in the flow of their offense (36% of all of their field goals are three's). However, this should all change against Michigan State, and I expect the 3rd ranked defense in the country to really give this team fits. The main reason I anticipate St. Louis struggling on offense has to do with the extraordinary size and physicality of Michigan State down low. Anyone who has seen them play knows how huge they are underneath between Green, Payne, Nix, etc. Conklin has never faced such a long and athletic team in the A-10, and I think their physicality will really force him farther and farther from the basket therefore making him less and less effective. With Conklin's efficiency reduced, the rest of the defense will be able to close out on shooters because they won't have to focus as much on double teams down low, and this has been the case all season for Mich St as they always dominate the glass and are stellar at defending the three (opponents are only shooting 29% from downtown). Mich State is coming off a poor performance at guarding the three in their first round win against LIU (letting them shoot 8-17 from beyond the arc), so I expect Izzo to clamp down here. Remember, Izzo is one of the best of all time at making adjustments from game to game. On offense, Mich St should be able to execute normally, as St. Louis's defense isn't one to cause many fits for offenses. Overall, this is a very tough stylistic spot for St. Louis, who isn't used to the physicality, speed, length, and athleticism of Michigan State. I think they struggle on offense and Michigan State cruises. I capped this as a double digit win for the Spartans.

Georgetown -4 (-105) for 2 units- This line is very interesting. Vegas comes out with Georgetown as -3.5 favorites to Belmont and pretty much the exact same line here. In my opinion, NC State is a much better match-up against Georgetown than Belmont was, but still I think NC State is not getting nearly enough points here. NC State is directly opposite of Belmont in some crucial areas. What Belmont lacked in size and physicality down low, NC State more than makes up with the likes of CJ Leslie, Richard Howell, and DeShawn Painter. NC State heavily relies on pounding the ball inside to these guys and letting them work. CJ Leslie is their best player, but the other big men are no joke. This NC State team is definitely solid from downtown, however this is not a focal part of their offense as less than 1/4 of their field goals are three's and Scott Wood is the only real threat out there for them. NC State has relied on their size, physicality, and skill down low to get through a tough ACC schedule, however when your game plan is to feed the bigs, one of the last teams you want to play in the country is Georgetown, who is just as big, strong, and long down low as NC State with Sims and Porter. However, it is not just the big men for Gtown that play big, but the team in general as they have one of the biggest starting line-ups in the country from positions 1-5 and they are one of the few teams in the country with 5 players averaging 4 or more rebounds per game. With less emphasis on the three (and don't get me wrong, Gtown would love to see NC State hoist some three's as they are the #1 three point defenders in the country), Georgetown will focus even more on guarding the bigs and rebounding. Thompson really has his boys focused on defense first and foremost this tournament. Part of the reason that this Georgetown team is so impressive defensively is that their length at all positions really frustrates offenses as they always contest every shot. I think NC State will be out of rhythm offensively unless they get Georgetown bigs into early foul trouble. Offensively, Georgetown has been looking as fluid as ever. Their patience, the back-door cuts they run off of the high flare by Sims, and the ability to keep the defense honest with some knock down three point shooters makes them multi-dimensional. Georgetown likes to control pace and play deliberately, but they also have the athletes to get into a track meet if the tempo calls for this. Overall, I think Georgetown will be too much for NC State here offensively and mostly defensively. I capped this as an 8 point win for the Hoyas.

WUNDERDOG
Game: Atlanta at Cleveland (3:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 190 -110

I see plenty of defense in this one. The Hawks are 10-4 to the UNDER in their last 14 road games and No. 5 in the NBA in points allowed. Atlanta is off a win and the Hawks are 25-9-1 UNDER the total in their last 35 games following a win, plus the UNDER is 19-7 in the Hawks' last 26 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. The UNDER is 17-5 in the Cavaliers' last 22 games as a home underdog, and 24-9 UNDER the total in their last 33 games as an underdog of +0.5 to +4.5. When these teams meet, the UNDER is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
Play the Hawks/Cavaliers UNDER.
