AT&T Pebble Beach
by Matt Fargo

Golf Preview & Picks

The PGA Tour goes back to California this week for the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am. Pebble Beach Golf Links is one of three host courses for the event along with Spyglass Hill and Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course which replaces Poppy Hills for a fourth straight year as one of the three courses that had been part of this rotation. A traditional playing cut of the top 60 and ties will be made after 54 holes on Saturday, giving players one extra day to make a move.

Pebble Beach is one of the players’ favorite stops on Tour and for good reason. Hitting greens is essential to provide birdie opportunities and scoring on the par-5s is also crucial. Experience has played a big role in this event and a good track record will take precedence over those who have not played much, or played well here in the past. Last year was just the second time in seven years at Pebble Beach that the average score was under par.

The defending champion is Phil Mickelson (+550) who came from six shots back entering the final day and shot 64 to win by two shots over Charlie Wi. Mickelson is coming off a wire-to-wire win in Scottsdale last week. He played his best golf of the young season by far and narrowly missed a Thursday 59. He has won here four times.

The short price on Dustin Johnson (+800) is certainly justified. He has won here twice and finished inside the top seven two other times, and this is only his sixth start here. Taking last week off should have him recharged.

This is the third straight week we will use Hunter Mahan (+1,800). After a T15 at the Farmers, he finished T16 at TPC Scottsdale and he certainly looks ready to break through. He has performed very well here over the last couple years as his T15 last year came after a solo second in 2011, where he finished two back of D.A. Points. It is interesting to note his two best rounds that year came at Pebble.

We used Jimmy Walker (+3,000) two weeks ago at Torrey Pines and if not for a Tiger Woods runaway, he was right in the thick of it. He finished T4 and after making the cut at the Phoenix Open last week, he has made the weekend in all four starts as well as 13 straight going back to last season. He finished T9 at Pebble Beach in 2011 thanks to a Sunday 75 and followed it up last year with another T9 finish.

Tim Clark (+3,500) opened the season with a solo second at the Sony Open in Hawaii but followed that up with a missed cut at the Humana Challenge. He came back last week and was average with a T49 but he returns to the AT&T for the first time since 2010 when he finished T10 and has never been outside the top 25 when making the weekend. Injuries forced him to miss the last two years but he is healthy this time around.

For a long shot, we will take a look at Matt Every (+7,500). After missing the cut in his first two starts this year, he made the weekend at the Farmers and then followed that up with a T9 last week, posting a 65 and 66 along the way. He missed the cut here last year but that came after a missed cut in his previous start, so the momentum is on his side here. Prior to that, he finished T31 in 2011 and T27 in 2010.

See Spot. See Spot bet: This Week's Best Spot Bet Opportunities

Spot bets are a classic handicapping practice that have proven profitable no matter what sport you’re betting. Whether it’s a team looking past this week’s opponent, one coming off a hard-fought victory, or a rough patch of schedule, bettors can find value picking their spots.

Lookahead Spot

The Los Angeles Lakers are fighting for their season on their current seven-game road swing, taking a 3-1 SU (2-2 ATS) record into Thursday’s stop in Boston – Game No. 5 on the annual “Grammy” trip. The Lakers actually find themselves in the rare “Lookahead Letdown” spot Friday, when they visit the lowly Charlotte Bobcats.

Los Angeles will be coming off a heated rivalry game with the Celtics and looking ahead to Sunday’s clash with the Miami Heat when they face the Bobcats. An aging roster and injuries to bigs Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol may have L.A. more focused on resting up for Miami.

Letdown Spot

The ACC is one of the tightest conferences in college hoops, with five teams in the hunt for the conference crown. Two of those programs are North Carolina State and Duke, which collide in Cameron Indoor Stadium Thursday night. The Wolfpack knocked off the Blue Devils at home back in January but haven’t won in Durham since 2007.

Following that showdown, NC State pays a visit to J.C. Littlejohn Coliseum to face the Clemson Tigers. Clemson may not be in the thick of the ACC race but the Tigers took the fight to the Wolfpack in their first meeting of the year, covering as 8.5-point road underdogs in a 66-62 loss on Jan. 20. NC State guard Lorenzo Brown is still a question mark this week (ankle).

Scheduling Spot

The Anaheim Ducks open a six-game road trip in Colorado Wednesday – not the best place to start an extended away swing due to the change in altitude from Anaheim to the Pepsi Center. The Ducks play three games in four nights, moving to Dallas and St. Louis Friday and Saturday before catching their breath for a few days.

Anaheim is back on the road in Chicago Tuesday, in Detroit Friday and closes this tough stretch of schedule at Nashville on Feb. 16. The Ducks have built a solid 6-1-0-1 record thanks to a home-heavy sked, playing five of those games inside the Honda Center. They’ve scored a franchise-record 29 goals in their first eight games but struggled to find the net in the role of visitors last season, averaging only 2.07 goals per road game – second worst in the NHL.

NHL Betting: Early Surprises & Disappointments

Every game counts in the lockout-shortened NHL season and, believe it or not, we’re nearly a quarter of the way through the campaign already.

Here’s a look at three surprise teams that are off to a great start and three squads bettors didn’t expect to be disappointed in early on.

Surprise Teams

Montreal Canadiens (6-2-0 SU, 3-5 ATS, 4-4 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures - Opened: 40/1, Now: 40/1

The Canadiens were expected to be the basement dwellers in the East this season, but the Habs have surprisingly skated to a strong start. Bettors on the puckline aren’t enjoying much success, though, and Montreal hasn’t had an early edge on totals. The Habs’ schedule has been home-heavy and they’ll have to prove to oddsmakers they can win consistently on the road before they consider moving Stanley Cup futures.

Tampa Bay Lightning (6-3-0 SU, 7-2 ATS, 5-3-1 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures – Opened: 25/1, Now: 25/1

The Lightning have also benefited from a ton of home games early on, resulting in a league-best 7-2 record on the puckline. Tampa Bay dropped the first contest of a four-game road swing in Philadelphia Tuesday. It won’t get any easier for the Lightning with visits to New Jersey, Boston and New York up next.

Anaheim Ducks (6-1-1 SU, 6-2 ATS, 3-5 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures – Opened: 30/1, Now 20/1

The Ducks have earned points in seven of their eight games this season and are winners of three straight. Backup netminder Victor Fasth is off to a red-hot start, boasting a perfect 3-0 record with a 1.30 GAA behind Jonas Hiller. The Ducks are also having success finding the back of the net, averaging 3.5 goals per game – the second-best mark in the league.

Teams Not Meeting Bettors’ Expectations

Los Angeles Kings (3-3-2 SU, 2-6 ATS, 4-3-1 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures – Opened: 9/1, Now: 16/1

The Stanley Cup hangover wasn’t supposed to be a factor for the Kings because of the lockout, but it appears as though they’ve succumbed to the curse. Injuries to Willie Mitchell and Matt Greene on the back end haven’t helped the cause and bettors certainly aren’t happy with the team’s results on the puckline. Los Angeles seemed like a steal when it opened at 9/1 value in Stanley Cup futures and now bettors can buy in at 16/1 if they aren’t afraid of the team's slow start.

New York Rangers (4-5-0 SU, 3-6 ATS, 3-6 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures – Opened: 8/1, Now: 9/1

The Rangers dropped three of their first four contests to put them behind the eight ball and have failed to string together more than two consecutive wins to get back on track. New York’s early schedule was jammed with tough divisional games, but some weaker opponents are on the horizon. The Rangers will have the chance to beat up on the Islanders (twice) and the Capitals in their next five games.

Detroit Red Wings (4-4-1 SU, 4-5 ATS, 5-4 O/U)

Stanley Cup futures – Opened: 12/1, Now: 30/1

The Red Wings have been the model of consistency in the NHL for years, but now they're dealing with the loss of franchise defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom. Detroit was cruising along slightly above .500 before dropping back-to-back contests to the lowly Flames and Blue Jackets. Injuries to key penalty killers Darren Helm and Mikael Samuelsson have really hurt the Wings, who have the third-worst PK in the league at 69.8 percent.

Exposing the Top 25: Where the Polls Went Wrong

Each week throughout the college basketball season, Covers Expert Jesse Schule will dissect the new Top 25 rankings, looking for betting value. He'll showcase the most overrated team, along with the most underrated ranked team, and an unranked squad that he feels should be in the Top 25.

Most Underrated Top 25 Team - Miami Hurricanes (17-3, 14-4 ATS)

The Hurricanes have won 10 straight overall, covering the spread in eight of those contests. They upset top-ranked Duke and they handed the N.C. State Wolfpack their first home loss Saturday, scoring the go-ahead bucket with less than a second remaining on the clock in a 79-78 victory.

The toughest stretch of schedule is already behind them, as they don't face any ranked teams until they meet Duke in early March. They face conference rivals UNC at home Saturday and have already defeated North Carolina on the road by a convincing 9-point margin earlier this season. It wouldn't be too much of a shock to see the Hurricanes continue to climb in the rankings over the next few weeks.

Most Overrated Top 25 Team - UNLV Runnin' Rebels (17-5, 8-13 ATS)

The Rebels are coming off a loss to Boise State their last time out and, while they are 6-4 SU in their last 10, they have only covered the spread in two of those contests. Star forward Mike Moser was ejected in the loss to the Broncos for a flagrant foul in the first half. The Rebels are fortunate that Moser did not receive a suspension and will suit up against Fresno State.

Moser still doesn't appear to be 100 percent since returning from injury, averaging fewer than eight points and just under seven boards on the season. UNLV is just two games back of the Lobos in the Mountain West and they host New Mexico Saturday.

Unranked Team That Should Be Ranked – North Carolina State Wolfpack (16-6, 11-9 ATS)

The Wolfpack lost on their home floor for the first time this season Saturday, but perhaps they deserved better. Already banged up and without their starting PG Lorenzo Brown, the Wolfpack battled hard and took a 6-point lead to the half. They led 74-69 with just over three minutes to play and they held the lead until the final second of the game, with the Hurricanes scoring on a tip-in.

With the loss, the Wolfpack have fallen out of the Top 25 and they have a tough game coming up against Duke Thursday. The rest of the schedule appears to get a little easier, and when Brown returns, they could go on another run with eight straight games versus unranked opponents.

Study Group: Thursday's Top 25 NCB Betting Notes

Check out our quick-hitting betting notes on all of Thursday’s ranked college basketball games:

(1) Indiana at Illinois (+7.5)

Indiana is back atop the national rankings and seeks its sixth straight victory when it visits floundering Illinois. Illinois has lost three straight games and six of seven and is a disappointing 10th in the 12-team league. The Fighting Illini have allowed an average of 76 points during the three-game skid. In Big Ten games, Illinois ranks last in the conference in both scoring defense (69.8) and field-goal percentage (45.3). The Hoosiers average a conference-best 75.8 in Big Ten play and rank second by making 47 percent of their shots. Indiana is 5-0 ATS in its last five Thursday games.

(20) Missouri at Texas A&M (+3.5)

Missouri will try to solve its road woes when the 20th-ranked Tigers visit Texas A&M for the former Big 12 rivals' first meeting as SEC opponents. The Tigers have been outstanding at home, but they are 0-4 on the road and have lost their first three conference road games. The Aggies are trying to avoid a fourth consecutive home loss after a 72-68 overtime defeat to Kentucky on Saturday. Texas A&M has scored 55 points or less in five of its past six games and is 0-4 ATS in its last four Thursday contests.

NC State at (4) Duke (-10.5)

North Carolina State suffered back-to-back losses last week and has lost four of six since knocking off then-No. 1 Duke at home on Jan. 12. NC State has suffered its last four losses by a total of seven points but has the type of inside strength to counter Mason Plumlee and Duke. The Blue Devils are connecting at a 41.1 percent clip from beyond the arc and went 11-of-18 from 3-point range in Saturday’s 79-60 win at Florida State. NC State’s defense holds opponents to 28.7 percent from beyond the arc - best in the ACC. Three-point shooting was a big part of the first meeting, when the Blue Devils struggled to 6-of-20 from beyond the arc. Duke is 0-5 ATS in its last five games following an ATS win.

Colorado at (19) Oregon (-5.5)

The Ducks look to get back on the winning track when they host Colorado at the Knight Arena, where they've won 20 straight games. Overall, Colorado hasn't won at Oregon, regardless of the arena, in 58 years. The Ducks have lost two of three since point guard Dominic Artis went down with a foot injury. Coach Dana Altman feels Artis will return soon but he is questionable for this week's action. Oregon is 0-4 ATS in its last four games overall.

Pepperdine at (6) Gonzaga (-22.5)

Gonzaga looks to extend its winning streak to five when the Bulldogs host a Pepperdine team that’s fallen out of the conference race with three straight losses. Gonzaga has won 38 of the last 43 games against the Waves, including 23 in a row. The Bulldogs will again be heavy favorites against Pepperdine, which has lost 14 straight in Spokane. Eight of the 11 Pepperdine players who will dress against Gonzaga are freshmen or sophomores. The Waves are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.

BONES BEST BET

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Am
Very top heavy tournament this weekend at Pebble Beach with not as many big names as we typically see at this very famous track. That being said - we haven't felt this good about our plays for a tournament in a long time. We typically look for long shots in these T5/T10 bets, but for this week we have to go with the chalk as stated earlier - very top heavy this weekend.

15* Indiana/Illinois ESPN No-Brainer on Illinois +8

The Illini realize they need to get things turned around in a hurry if they want to make the NCAA Tournament. Remember, this is the same team that started 12-0 with double-digit wins over Butler (78-61), Gonzaga (85-74) and Ohio State (74-55), so they have proven they can beat some of the best teams in the country.

Indiana is clearly in a letdown spot after its huge win over No. 1 Michigan on Saturday. College Gameday was there, so the stage really doesn’t get any bigger than that. After getting patted on the back all week leading up to this game, the Hoosiers will come out flat tonight, and they won't be able to run away with this game because of it.

The home team has won four straight meetings in this series. Illinois has won five of its last seven meetings with Indiana. The home team is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Indiana is 9-24 ATS in road games after playing 5 consecutive games as favorite since 1997. Tom Crean is 3-13 ATS in road games after successfully covering the spread in 2 or more consecutive games as the coach of Indiana. Crean is 2-11 ATS in road games after 3 straight games where they made 47% of their shots or better in all games he has coached. The Hoosiers are simply overvalued here. Take Illinois Thursday.

15* CBB Thursday No-Doubt Rout on Arizona State -3

The Arizona State Sun Devils are showing excellent value Thursday as a small home favorite over the Cal Bears. I look for them to roll to a blowout home victory tonight while easily covering this generous number.

Arizona State is one of the most underrated teams in the country at 17-5 SU & 11-6 ATS in all games. It has been absolutely dominant at home, going 13-2 SU while outscoring opponents by 9.3 points/game.

At 13-8 SU & 7-12 ATS on the season, Cal is one of the most overrated teams in the land. It is coming off back-to-back home wins over Oregon State and Oregon by a combined 7 points, setting it up for a big letdown spot here tonight as it hits the road. The Bears are just 3-4 SU in true road games this season.

The Bears are 4-10 ATS in their last 14 games overall. Cal is 2-9 ATS in its last 11 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Bears are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games following a ATS win. The Sun Devils are 5-0-1 ATS in their last 6 games following a ATS loss. ASU is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 home games, while Cal is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 road games. Roll with Arizona State Thursday.

20* Lakers/Celtics TNT Total ANNIHILATOR on UNDER 196

The Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics will take part in a defensive battle. This is one of the most storied rivalries in sports, and the defensive intensity is always at its highest level when these teams get together. One look at the recent meetings between these teams and it's easy to see that the books have set the bar too high tonight.

Eight of the last nine meetings in this series have seen 191 or less combined points. In fact, the Lakers and Celtics have combined to average 178.3 points/game in those nine games. That's roughly 18 points less than tonight's posted total.

Pau Gasol being out certainly hurts the Lakers' offense more than it hurts their defense. Also, defensive stopper Metta World Peace returns from suspension tonight to help shut down Paul Pierce. I will be on this UNDER no matter whether or not Dwight Howard (shoulder, questionable) plays.

The UNDER is 11-4 in Lakers last 15 games overall. The UNDER is 49-20-2 in Lakers last 71 vs. Eastern Conference opponents. The UNDER is 34-15-2 in Lakers last 51 Thursday games. The UNDER is 34-15-3 in Celtics last 52 Thursday games.

The UNDER is 7-0 in Celtics last 7 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. The UNDER is 5-0 in Celtics last 5 home games vs. a team with a road winning % of less than .400. The UNDER is 5-0-1 in the last 6 meetings in Boston. These three trends combine for a perfect 17-0 system backing the UNDER. Bet the UNDER in this game Thursday.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball


3-Unit Play. #569 Take St. Peter's +13.5 over Fairfield (Thursday @ 7pm est)

3-Unit Play. #515 Take Arkansas State +11 over Middle Tennessee State (Thursday @ 8pm est)

3-Unit Play. #600 Take Northern Arizona -4.5 over Portland State (Thursday @ 8:35pm est)

I've always love taking fairly big underdogs in conference play. It allows us to catch teams who are "getting up" to play other teams. St. Peters is one of those teams today who faced Fairfield at home and lost by 7 points and now look to duplicate that success on the road. Fairfield is easily the better team here but in a low scoring contest, where the total is set around 116, grabbing 13.5 points is fairly significant. St. Peter is also a team that takes care of the ball as they are top 125 as it relates to turnover margin and with Fairfield being outside the top 200 in turnover margin, in a game that is likely to be possession based, it is worth taking the dog here with the points. This is also Conley, Ffrench and Raymond's last go against Fairfield as wells so I expect the St. Peter's seniors to perform well. As per Arkansas State, they upset Middle Tennessee State at home in overtime and although I typically favor teams who have revenge, I still think Arkansas State has shown a lot of grit this year and are likely to do well once again. John Brady's team is 14-8 and is a top 100 turnover team, 8-5 in conference play and their last 3 road losses have been by 13 points which has been fairly impressive. Now, with this team getting nearly that many points at once against Middle Tennessee State is worth it for us to take a team that does not turn the ball over much. Sure, Middle Tennessee State will have revenge and will look to avenge their only loss in conference play of the year as they are currently 12-1 in conference play. But, with a team that turns the ball over as they are outside the top 200 in turnover percentage, with Coach Brady's Arkansas State team being a top 80 defensive team, revenge or no revenge, I believe Arkansas State will get up for this game once again and let Middle Tennessee State know they will be a thorn in their side for some time to come. Finally, Northern Arizona lost to Portland State by 5 points earlier this year by a score of 79-74 and has revenge against them here. Portland State has lost 5 straight conference games since beating Northern Arizona and though this is a team that is not going to blow you away with its offense, they are a possession team and as they have won 3 out of their last 5 conference games, I can see them picking up another winner here as well.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

3-Unit Play. #503. Take Chicago +6.5 over Denver (Thursday @ 10:35pm est).

Chicago remembers last year when Denver rolled in and beat them 108-91 in what was a rout. With Boozer and Noah probable for this game and their return on TNT Basketball it makes for the Bulls to be a decent underdog here. Granted, the Nuggets have won 7 straight but the last time they struggled was against a defensive minded team from the East in Indiana in which they were -5.5 favorites and won 102-101. This game reminds me a lot of that game when Chicago coming off a loss as well and this team shows an incredible amount of pride as it relates to bouncing back after coming off a loss. The Bulls lost in their last game to Indiana 101-111 and now they look to bounce-back. The last time the Bulls lost back to back games dated back to December 22nd to December 25th. I like the Bulls on the bounce-back here, with revenge from last year's loss to Denver as these two teams don't see each other and this is a good public fade on the board on what is the one of just two games on Thursday Night Basketball when the public generally favors the favorite and the home team. The Bulls are 7-1 ATS coming off a ATS loss and the Nuggets are 1-4 ATS when facing the Eastern Conference lately.

Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey

3-Unit Play. #67 Take Los Angeles Kings -105 vs. Nashville (Thursday @ 8:05 pm est)
The Kings have always done well against the Central as they are 9-2 in their last 11 against the Central and 25-8 when allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game. Interestingly enough, the Predators are 2-6 in their last 8 games after allowing 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Preds return home to Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, Tennessee after a lengthy road trip which they closed on a nice three-game winning streak. Nashville ended up with (104) points last year with a team at the start of the year didn't look like they had enough there. Nashville HC Barry Trotz is one of the best in the National Hockey League at getting the most out of his players. The Predators will need a superb effort from their 6-foot-5 Finn Goaltender Pekka Rinne to keep this game close. The defending champs have looked like anything but, notching only three wins in eight games so far in 2013. LA returns almost its entire core of star players - playoff MVP Jonathan Quick, captain Dustin Brown, leading scorer Anze Kopitar, stud defenseman Drew Doughty and versatile second-line forwards in Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. The Kings are (7-3) in the last (10) meetings in this series and (4-1) in the last (5) meetings in Nashville. These Kings became one of the most unexpected and most dominant champions in the history of the Stanley Cup. Kings coach Darryl Sutter has to be excited that few other elite teams made significant improvements this offseason, and the Kings could very well be the first NHL champ to defend their crown in (15) years. Nashville picked up a key two points in Los Angeles during its lengthy seven-game road trip and rest assured the Kings remember that 2-1 loss in a shootout.

Game: Los Angeles at Nashville (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Nashville -105 (moneyline)
The Los Angeles Kings are off to a sluggish start following their amazing Stanley Cup run from a year ago. The Kings' playoffs run included 17 of 20 playoff games allowing 2 goals or less, but things have been much different to start off 2012-13. The Kings have allowed 2 goals or more in every game. Nashville has a winning record despite playing seven of their nine on the road, which includes all of their last seven. They come home having taken each of their last three - all on the road. The Kings have faltered against teams that are coming off of scoring 5+ in their previous game at just 3-8 in their last 11. Nashville has been a force at home where they are 25-11 in their last 36. Nashville gets the call.


Game: Arkansas State at Middle Tennessee State (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Arkansas State +11 (-110)
Middle Tennessee State has now put together back-to-back 20-win seasons, as they are off to a 20-4 start to this season and are a perfect 11-0 at home. Last year they were denied an NCAA Tournament bid because they lost to this same Arkansas State team in the conference tournament. The Red Wolves have been a thorn for Middle Tennessee as they beat them again this year in a thrilling overtime 6-point win. The Red Wolves matchup well and certainly have the talent to hang in this one, and Arkansas St. has covered their last five vs. a winning team. The Blue Raiders have struggled vs. winning teams, now at 1-7 ATS in their last eight. Take Arkansas St.

NBA TNT doubleheader: Lakers at Celtics, Bulls at Nuggets

Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics (-2, 194)

Just as things were starting to fall into place for the Los Angeles Lakers, another major injury cropped up that could severely impair the team's chances of snagging a playoff slot. Forward Pau Gasol is the latest casualty for the Lakers, suffering a torn plantar fascia in his right foot during Tuesday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. Gasol was headed back to Los Angeles to be examined by a specialist, but he is expected to miss at least four weeks. Meanwhile, the Lakers will put their three-game winning streak on the line when they visit the Boston Celtics on Thursday.

Boston suffered what appeared to be a debilitating injury when All-Star point guard Rajon Rondo was lost to a season-ending knee injury. Rather than fold, the Celtics have played their best ball of the season, running their winning streak to five games since Rondo was hurt. Kevin Garnett scored a season-high 27 points in Wednesday's victory over the Toronto Raptors - the only road win during the current streak. All five starters scored in double figures for the fourth straight game for the Celtics.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE LAKERS (23-26, 20-28-1 ATS): Gasol was largely responsible for helping Los Angeles snap an eight-game road losing streak, averaging 20 points during the current three-game run. He was starting in place of Dwight Howard, who has sat out the last three games after aggravating the torn labrum in his right shoulder in a loss at Phoenix on Jan. 30. Howard is listed as day-to-day, but Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant let it be known that the day should come soon. "You have to play through where you have to manage the pain," Bryant said. "When you go through those things you learn your body and what you can push through."

ABOUT THE CELTICS (25-23, 19-26-3 ATS): Boston's bench had produced an average of nearly 50 points in the three games prior to the matchup with Toronto. On Wednesday, former Raptor Leandro Barbosa did most of the damage, scoring 12 of his 14 points in the fourth quarter to spark the game-winning rally. It was the third straight game in double figures for Barbosa, who has shot at least 50 percent in each game since Rondo went down. Coach Doc Rivers earned his 400th win with the Celtics, putting him third on the franchise's all-time list behind Red Auerbach (910) and Tom Heinsohn (427).

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-0-1 in the last six meetings in Boston.
* Under is 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings.
* Lakers are 7-15-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings.
* Underdog is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Road team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Los Angeles has won three straight against Boston, including both meetings last season by a combined four points.

2. Paul Pierce, who has four double-doubles in his last five games, is averaging 24.7 points in 24 games against the Lakers.

3. Howard averaged 16.4 points and 12.7 boards in 27 games against Boston while he was with the Orlando Magic.



Chicago Bulls at Denver Nuggets (-6.5, 197.5)

The Denver Nuggets attempt to extend their season-best winning streak to eight games when they visit the Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Denver has won 14 of 17 games and is now among the top five teams in the Western Conference standings, thanks to strong play during a home-heavy stretch. The Nuggets wrap up a six-game homestand against Chicago, which has won six of nine games. The Bulls hope to have center Joakim Noah (foot) back after a three-game absence.

Chicago is a solid 14-8 on the road despite losing at Indiana on Monday. The Bulls are 2-2 during a stretch in which eight of nine games are on the road. Chicago will be without guard Kirk Hinrich (elbow) for the fourth straight game. Denver rallied to beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday and scored 29 points off 17 turnovers. “When we create any type of offense with our defense, we score,” coach George Karl told reporters. “Everybody wants to make a great offensive play, but I think it’s actually more thrilling and exciting to a team to make a great defensive play.”

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT, WGN (Chicago), Altitude (Denver)

ABOUT THE BULLS (29-19, 20-28 ATS): Guard Marco Belinelli is a game-time decision after turning an ankle during Monday’s game against the Pacers. Belinelli suffered the injury in the first half and then returned to score 17 in the second half en route to a season-high 24 points. With point guards Derrick Rose (knee) and Hinrich sidelined, veteran Nate Robinson has played 40-plus minutes in three consecutive games while being highly productive. Robinson is averaging 18.7 points over the last seven games. Forward Carlos Boozer (hamstring) had 10 points against Indiana after missing the previous three contests.

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (31-18, 29-20 ATS): Denver has topped 100 points in eight consecutive contests and will find it challenging to keep the streak going against the Bulls, who rate third in the NBA by allowing just 91 points per game. Controlling the pace will be crucial for the Nuggets. “We’ve got to move the ball and we’ve got to run,” said swingman Corey Brewer, who tallied 20 points against Milwaukee. “It’s all about running, especially when you play a team like the Bulls, who play really good five-on-defense. You want to get the pace going.” Forward Kenneth Faried had 13 points and 10 rebounds against Milwaukee for his 20th double-double of the campaign.

TRENDS:

* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
* Home team is 6-2-1 ATS in the last nine meetings.
* Over is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings in Denver.
* Bulls are 5-11-1 ATS in the last 17 meetings.
* Bulls are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings in Denver.
* Underdog is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Denver has won five straight games against Chicago at the Pepsi Center and 11 of the past 12.

2. Bulls C Taj Gibson is averaging 14.8 points and 12 rebounds while starting the last four games.

3. The Nuggets are 19-3 when allowing fewer than 100 points.

Stephen Nover | CBB Sides - Thursday, Feb 7 2013 7:00PM
567 Canisius -2.5(-110) Bookmaker.com vs 568 Manhattan triple-dime bet

Analysis: This spread opened too short as Canisius is a much better team than Manhattan. The Golden Griffins are 8-4 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference while the Jaspers are 5-7 in league.

Canisius is in good form, too, winning five of its last six. The Golden Griffins are 10-4 ATS following a victory. Manhattan defeated St. Peter's in its last game, but has dropped 10 of its past 14 games. The Jaspers are 3-7 ATS following a victory.

Canisius won't be taking Manhattan lightly either as the Golden Griffins won by just four points at home in the first meeting between the two teams as 7 1/2-point favorite on Jan. 17.

This has been a road team series with the visitor covering the past eight times. Canisius is 5-1-1 ATS during its last seven visits to Manhattan.

My sources who pay attention to this conference rate Canisius nearly 10 points better than Manhattan on a neutral court based on overall talent and current form. So this is a very cheap price to lay.
