NBA doubleheader: Lakers at Heat, Nuggets at Trail Blazers

Los Angeles Lakers at Miami Heat (-12.5, 210.5)

The Los Angeles Lakers are showing some fight on their seven-game road trip with two wins and an overtime setback at Chicago in the last three contests. The Lakers will try to make it three of four when they visit the defending champion Miami Heat on Thursday. The Heat had dropped four of six before coming through on the defensive end in a 93-86 triumph over the Boston Celtics on Tuesday that marked the start of a four-game homestand.

Los Angeles had dropped six straight before turning things around with a pair of wins at Boston and Toronto. Taj Gibson’s overtime buzzer beater prevented a third straight triumph but Pau Gasol turned in another strong effort and is averaging 22 points and 13.7 rebounds in the last three games. Miami has won three straight at home and LeBron James is enjoying another hot streak while shooting 52.6 percent from the field over the last four contests.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE: The Heat opened as 12-point faves and now sit at -12.5. The total opened at 211 and now sits at 210.5.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Los Angeles (-0.5) - Miami (-14.3) + home court (-3) = Miami -16.8

ABOUT THE LAKERS (16-26, 23-18-1 ATS): Gasol is holding together a roster short on time together but is helping to coax career-best performances out of the likes of Nick Young and Kendall Marshall. The latest to step up is rookie Ryan Kelly, who is averaging 16.7 points while playing at least 34 minutes in each of the last three contests after failing to score in double figures in any of his first 17 NBA games. The forward from Duke found his way into the starting lineup after putting up 20 points at Boston on Friday and is helping to stretch the defense with his 3-point shooting ability.

ABOUT THE HEAT (30-12, 18-24 ATS): James made some noise before Tuesday’s game about the absence of Dwyane Wade, who missed his third straight game due to knee soreness. “It’s tough,” James told reporters of the injury troubles of Wade and others in the rotation. “We have a team built on chemistry, built on rhythm.” All the chemistry Miami needed down the stretch on Tuesday was James himself, as the star forward scored seven of his 29 points in the final 2:32. Wade, who was held to eight points in back-to-back games last week before sitting out, remains day-to-day.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Underdog is 9-2 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
* Lakers are 0-5 ATS in the last five meetings in Miami.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Heat have taken three straight in the series, including a 101-95 triumph in Los Angeles on Dec. 25 behind 23 points from Wade.

2. Lakers F Xavier Henry (knee) has missed the last 11 games but is expected to practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday.

3. Miami C Chris Bosh is shooting 63.6 percent from the field in the last three wins.


Denver Nuggets at Portland Trail Blazers (-7, 221.5)

The Portland Trail Blazers haven’t lost three straight games all season and strive to avoid that occurring when they host the Denver Nuggets on Thursday. Portland lost consecutive games to Houston and Oklahoma City to end a four-game homestand and has slipped below both the San Antonio Spurs and the Thunder in the Western Conference race. Denver has lost three of four while allowing an average of 117 points.

The Nuggets won five consecutive games before the recent defensive struggles and will play five of six at home after the visit to Portland. The Trail Blazers led Oklahoma City for most of Tuesday’s contest before Kevin Durant took over late in the game, handing Portland a loss in the finale of a road excursion in which it allowed an average of 110.5 points. Power forward LaMarcus Aldridge has strung together six consecutive double-doubles and is averaging 27.5 points and 15.3 rebounds during the stretch.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE: The Blazers opened as 7-point faves. The total opened at 220.5 and and is up to 221.5.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS: Denver (-7.3) - Portland (-10.7) + home court (-3) = Portland -6.4

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (20-20, 18-22 ATS): Denver had been preparing for the return of forward Danilo Gallinari but learned earlier this week that he is done for the season after requiring a second operation on his injured left knee. Gallinari tore his ACL last April and the original prognosis pinpointed a return late this season. “It’s a tough situation,” point guard Ty Lawson told reporters. “He’s been working all year to get back on the court. It’s tough for him. We’re going to be here for him, keep encouraging him and just let him know that we want him back soon.”

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (31-11, 24-18 ATS): Guard Damian Lillard (131) is second in the NBA in 3-pointers behind Golden State’s Klay Thompson (132) but struggled from long range during the road trip. Lillard went 6-of-24 on the excursion – missing all five attempts against Oklahoma City – and dropped his season percentage to 43 percent. Lillard has scored 17 or fewer points in five of the last nine games as Aldridge has been the focal point of the attack with his standout play. Lillard averages 21.2 points – second on the squad to Aldridge’s 24.2.

TRENDS:

* Over is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
* Nuggets are 0-4-1 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Portland.
* Road team is 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Portland defeated the Nuggets 113-98 in Denver on Nov. 1 in this season’s first meeting.

2. Trail Blazers F Nicolas Batum (fractured finger) played 35 minutes against the Thunder but scored just three points.

3. Lawson has nine double-doubles over the last 10 games.

Four NCAAB mid-major moneymakers
By CHASE RUTTIG

Mid-major money. Small conference cash. Every season in college basketball there are small schools that provide value ATS that are overlooked to bettors. Whether it be a lack of television coverage, or playing in a small conference with a lack of marquee names, these teams might not be thought of as quality bets despite churning cover after cover.

Today we look at four schools that have been killing it ATS this season and are worth a look for those interested in diversifying what conferences they bet on.

Wichita State (Missouri Valley Conference, 12-3-1 ATS)

Wichita State is actually one of the most consistent mid-majors in terms of success at the NCAA tournament and are currently an undefeated 19-0. The Shockers are also a very impressive 12-3-1 ATS. Led by Cleanthony Early (15.5 PPG) and a balanced group of returning players, the Shockers could very well finish the regular season undefeated. If spreads get inflated and teams start getting more and more motivated to end their undefeated streak we could see more ATS losses which is a concern. For now, the Shockers are the giants of the mid-majors on the court and against the spread.

New Mexico State (WAC, 7-2 ATS)

New Mexico State, most known for having 7'5" center Sim Bhullar and Johannesburg-born Tshilidzi Nephawe down low, have no problems using their size to dominate opponents in the WAC. With their only ATS loss in their last ten meetings being against the Arizona Wildcats, it is no secret that the Aggies' size creates value when they are facing smaller opponents. With Nephawe averaging 7.4 rebounds and Bhullar averaging 3.4 blocks per game, the Aggies are simply dominant in the post most nights. Add in Daniel Mullings 16.2 PPG and the Aggies have more than enough on the perimeter to support the interior defense and rebounding of their Twin Towers.

Air Force (Mountain West, 9-3 ATS)

Air Force has been a top underdog in the Mountain West in the opening month of conference play, covering four-straight spreads of 7.5 or more recently. Air Force has also covered while favored, covering as 9-point favorites against San Jose State. While the team is a pretty average 9-8 SU and is fairly pedestrian when it comes to statistics, they appear to stay in games and have three players averaging points in the double digits including scoring leader Tre Coggins who is averaging a steady 17.5 PPG. That "Big Three" is keeping them in games, and while handicappers keep them as underdogs there is value.

UTEP (C-USA, 10-3 ATS)

A betting scandal hasn't slowed down the Miners from being solid both in the C-USA and ATS. After stumbling in a loss to Charlotte and failing to cover against Western Illinois in the fallout of the scandal, UTEP has won and covered four of the last five. Holding teams to a 37.8 percent from the field and 28.7 percent shooting behind the arc, the Miners' defense has kept them in the C-USA race and as the best ATS team in the conference.

One of the strongest fields of the year comes together for the Farmers Insurance Open, a tournament dominated by Tiger Woods. He was the winner last season at this tournament by four strokes even after shooting par on Sunday, eventually finishing 14-under par. The tournament takes place over two Torrey Pines golf courses, South and North course, splitting between the two over the first 36 holes then finishing the last two days on the South course. Here are some players to keep an eye on this week…

Golfers to Watch

Tiger Woods (5/2): Woods has absolutely owned this tournament and has won seven different times, but only once over the past five years. He also won the 2008 U.S. Open when it was played at the South course in Torrey Pines. A victory here would be Woods’ 80th in his career, so his dominance of this course and desire to reach a new milestone could put him over the top in his second tournament of the season.

Jimmy Walker (30/1): Walker is the current money leader ($2.4M) and points leader (1,233) this season with two wins and two other top-12 finishes in six 2013-14 tournaments. He currently ranks third in driving distance this season (308.8), which should help him on one of the longer courses on the tour. Walker has placed in the top-8 in this tournament in each of the past two years, including a fourth place finish last year.

Brandt Snedeker (20/1): Snedeker was one of two runner-ups last season in this tourney and was the victor in 2012 after a two-hole playoff. He also placed T9 in 2011 and T2 in 2010. His play as of late has not been great though, with three cuts made but underwhelming performances (55th and 58th last week) in two of those three starts. Look for Snedeker to turn it around at Torrey Pines this weekend.

Phil Mickelson (12/1): Mickelson has a new driver and is coming off his first tournament start of 2014, a second-place finish in Abu Dhabi. He has had past success at Torrey Pines, with three victories when this was the Buick Open, and has four top-10 finishes since his last win back in 2001. This includes a runner-up in 2011, but missed the cut in 2012 and finished T51 last year, making him a risky wager for this week.

Scott Brown: Brown is one of three players in 2014 to make seven cuts so far and has two top-four finishes. The 30-year-old American uses his driving accuracy (71.3%), which is currently 15th on the tour, to keep him in the running in each tournament, and could be a surprise contender this week.

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Texas State at Arkansas Little Rock (8:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Texas State +5 (-105) at 5Dimes

The Arkansas Little Rock Trojans took the easy road, and have gotten off to a 9-9 start. That record is a bit misleading as they have won twice against Division-3 opponents, so overall this is a below .500 team. While the starting five is reasonable, they have little to no depth, as they bring no one off the bench that shoots better than 42% on the season. Texas State has managed just one win in their last six tries, and they will have revenge in mind here for a 4-point home loss earlier in the season to Little Rock. They led into the second half of that one before going cold late in the game. I think this game is a toss-up, so I'll grab the road team and the points. Play on Texas State.

Western Carolina(11-9) hosts Davidson (8-11). Both these teams have been playing well, 4-1 in their last 5 games. Western Carolina, however is 8-0 at home and we love them here catching points. Davidson is 6-7 on the road and scores about a point less than their season avg of 76 where Western Carolina scores about 7 over their season avg of 72.9. We really like the Catamounts at home in this spot. The Sharp's say...
