Game of the Day: Canadiens at Bruins

Montreal Canadiens at Boston Bruins (-173, 5)

The Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins have been before - with the last time being three years ago. The Original Six rivals will compete in a Game 7 on Wednesday for the ninth time in history as the Canadiens and host Bruins decide their Eastern Conference second-round series. Carey Price recorded his fourth postseason shutout against Boston on Monday, turning aside all 26 shots he faced as Montreal staved off elimination by cruising to a 4-0 triumph in Game 6.

Reigning Norris Trophy winner P.K. Subban didn't score in that contest, but he did tally with 1:57 to play in the teams' last Game 7 meeting - on April 27, 2011. The then-rookie defenseman tied the contest before Nathan Horton beat Price 5:43 into overtime as the Bruins began a surge that culminated in a Stanley Cup title. "It's going to be great," Subban said of Wednesday's winner-take-all game. "I can't wait for the crowd, the noise, the energy in the building. I can't wait to take that all away from them."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS

LINE HISTORY: Pinnacle Sports opened the Bruins as -183 home faves, but that has been bet down to -173. The total has opened at 5.

INJURY REPORT: Canadiens: C Alex Galchenyuk (Questionable, knee). Bruins: D Dennis Seidenberg (Out indefinitely, knee), C Chris Kelly (Out indefinitely, back).

WHAT THE CAPPERS SAY: "This series seemed destined to go the distance from the get-go, and here we are, staring at a winner-take-all matchup on Wednesday night in Beantown. I'm still a believer in momentum when it comes to the NHL Playoffs - just ask the Kings and Ducks. Here, all of the 'mo is in Montreal's corner after a resounding Game 6 victory on home ice. This will undoubtedly be a battle, and it ultimately comes down to goaltending, particularly for Montreal. The Habs need Carey Price to outperform Tuukka Rask - it really is as simple as that. I'm not anticipating much value with the Bruins as contrary to popular belief, home ice hasn't meant a great deal in this matchup over the years." Covers Expert Sean Murphy.

WHAT THE BOOKS SAY: "The Bruins have played in eight previous Game 7's since 2008 and they are 3-3 at home and 4-4 overall. They key to this series so far has been scoring the first goal, each of the six games has been won by the them that scores first. All the early action is on the Bruins to take Game 7." Michael Stewart, CarbonSports.ag.

ICEGIRL WAR:



ABOUT THE CANADIENS: Thomas Vanek has proven himself to be a thorn in the side of the Bruins - and this series has been no exception. The 30-year-old Austrian scored twice on Monday to double his goal total for the series and has tallied 34 times in 61 career games versus Boston. Max Pacioretty (one goal, three assists in the series) admitted that he was getting outplayed by Boston captain Zdeno Chara in the set's first four contests, but the Connecticut native chimed in with a goal and an assist in Game 6.

ABOUT THE BRUINS: David Krejci led Presidents' Trophy-winning Boston in the regular season with 69 points, but has just one (an assist in Game 2) in the series and three in the postseason. Despite his struggles, the Czech Olympian remains optimistic that he and fellow struggling linemate Milan Lucic (one goal, two assists in the series) will get it in gear. "Yeah, we had some good looks out there," Krejci said. "They didn't go in for us, but we're going to stay positive in here."

TWEET BEAT:



TRENDS:

* Over is 5-1-1 in the last seven meetings in Boston.
* Canadiens are 5-2 in the last seven meetings in Boston.
* Bruins are 11-4 in their last 15 Conference Semifinals games.
* Bruins are 1-4 in their last five Wednesday games.

Nets at Heat: What bettors need to know

Brooklyn Nets at Miami Heat (-7, 188.5)

LeBron James has put Miami in position to close out the Eastern Conference semifinals and he will have a hard act to follow when the Heat host the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. James tied his personal playoff career high and set a Miami franchise record with 49 points in Game 4 as the Heat produced a 102-96 victory to take a 3-1 lead. Brooklyn won all four regular-season meetings but needs to come up with a strong effort to force a Game 6 at home.

The Nets had no answer from the outset for James, who was 16-of-24 from the field while matching the 49 points he scored against Orlando in 2009 while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers. Even with all those points, it was center Chris Bosh who drained the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 57.3 seconds left as James spotted him wide open in the right corner. “He just showed great poise and trust to make the right basketball play,” coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters of James’ decision to pass. “He reads the game as well as anybody that’s played the game.” Brooklyn set a franchise playoff record with 15 3-pointers in its Game 3 win before dropping off to 5-of-22 in Monday’s loss.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE NETS: Only eight teams have rebounded from a 3-1 deficit to win an NBA playoff series and the task is harder for Brooklyn when you factor in it needs to win three straight against the two-time defending champs. The veteran club knows it is on the verge of elimination but continues to vow the series will tighten up. “We just got to get one game,” forward Paul Pierce told reporters after Game 4. “That’s the mindset. The series is far from over.” Getting a solid performance from Deron Williams would help the cause as the point guard is just 8-of-34 shooting over the past three games after being a solid 7-of-10 for 17 points in Game 1.

ABOUT THE HEAT: James could have reached 50 points but he split two free throws with 1.1 seconds left. He had 25 points in the first half and 15 more in the third as Brooklyn struggled to defend him. James was rubbed wrong by some trash talking from Pierce after the Nets won Game 3 and now has his focus on ending the series in five games and not making a return to Brooklyn until next season. “Play with a sense of urgency defensively, help one another, communicate, try to get the ball moving offensively from one side to the other and attack,” James told reporters of the Game 5 plan. “If we do those things, and do it with a clear mind but at the same time an aggressive mind, we give ourselves a good chance to win.”

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings in Miami.
* Home team is 9-4 ATS in the last 13 meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in Nets last five overall.
* Heat are 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 Wednesday games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. SG Dwyane Wade, who is averaging 15.8 points in the series, held the former Heat playoff record of 46 points, set in 2010.

2. Brooklyn F Mirza Teletovic missed all three of his 3-point attempts in Game 4 after going 10-of-16 over the previous two games.

3. James has scored 30 or more points in four of Miami’s eight postseason games.

The Rays won 2-1 last night as the Mariners closer, Fernando Rodney, blew the save and gave up the go ahead run in the top of the 9th. The Mariners struckout 12 times in that game with no walks, as David Price pitched a complete game shut out. Jake Odorizzi looks to follow up that start with a good one of his own. He is just 1-3 on the season with a 5.79 ERA, .311 OBA and 1.74 WHIP, but this highly rated prospect is coming off a start where he went 5 innings allowing 0 earned runs with 11 strikeouts. He was solid in Triple-A last season with a 3.33 ERA, and had a 3.94 ERA in his 7 appearances with the Rays. The Mariners go with Brandon Maurer on the mound who is 1-1 with a 6.20 ERA, .341 OBA and 1.67 WHIP. His last time out was pretty much the exact opposite as Odorizzi as he went 7.1 innings but gave up 14 hits and 4 earned runs with 0 strikeouts. Maurer had a 6.30 ERA in 2013 with the Mariners, and didn't do much better in Triple-A with a 5.21 ERA last season. Take note that the Rays are 8th in the Majors with a .260 team batting average vs righties, while the Mariners are 24th at .233. Tampa Bay has won 5 of their last 7 road games. The Mariners are just 3-10 in Maurers last 13 starts, 2-6 in his last 8 home starts and 3-8 in his last 11 as an underdog. I'll take the Rays this afternoon as slight favorites.
Kyle's Pick(s)
5 UNIT = San Diego Padres @ Cincinnati Reds - UNDER 7 RUNS (-120)
Listed Pitchers: Kennedy vs. Cueto
(Note: I'm risking 5.00 units to win 4.17 units)
The Dodgers made sure there wasn't any room for a bad beat, as they pounded the Marlins for a 7-1 win last night to cash the -1.5. **Yesterday's play had a mistake in the units won. It was 2.9 units won not 3.08. Sorry about that.
It is up for debate with regards to who has been the best pitcher this season. Johnny Cueto, though, is making a big stake at that claim. I have been waiting for his name to pop up on the card and finally today is his turn in the rotation. He'll get an ineffective Padres lineup to continue his hot ways against. Note that the Padres are hitting only .213 against right-handed pitching. Unfortunately for the Padres that .213 is going to need to be much much much better against Cueto, who is one of the best right-handed pitchers in the business. He's been razor sharp with a 1.43 ERA, as well as an ultra-low .196 OBP and 0.73 WHIP. Those two stats are even lower at home believe it or not as Cueto holds a .182 OBP and 0.67 WHIP in Cincinnati. Cueto hasn't allowed more than 2 runs all season long. In his last two starts he gave up 2, his highest mark of the season in 2014. Ian Kennedy has shared some success with the Pads this season, pitching for a 3.12 ERA in 49 innings pitched. He has been a reliable middle of the rotation option for years now and this is about what to except from him. Impressively Kennedy has been a wizard on the road this season, away from the friendly confines of Petco, which is hard to explain. His ERA on the road is 1.42 with a 0.74 WHIP and .211 OBP. Cueto should be able to mow the Padres lineup down and Kennedy should hold his own as well. With an UNDER of 7 here I like it for 5 units.

Wednesday's MLB betting cheat sheet: Cueto hot at home

Here's a comprehensive look at betting notes for Wednesday's major-league games:

Plenty of Pushes

Tuesday saw a whopping four pushes, with the home team prevailing in each one. Toronto edged Cleveland 5-4, Milwaukee prevailed 5-2 over Pittsburgh, Houston blanked Texas 8-0 and St. Louis outlasted the Chicago Cubs 4-3 in 12 innings.

Johnny Be Good

Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Cueto is 4-0 in his last four starts as a favorite - allowing five runs over 34 innings in that stretch - as he leads the Reds (-166, 7) in to the resumption of their series with San Diego. The Padres are 1-1 this season as an underdog of greater than +150.

Masahiro is Money

New York rookie Masahiro Tanaka leads all Yankee pitchers and ranks 12th in the majors in money won to date ($438), tops among first-year pitchers. Tanaka and the Yankees (-167, 6.5) resume their Subway Series showdown with the Mets at Citi Field.

Pitching Notes

* Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha is in a tailspin, having gone 2-5 against the moneyline in his last seven starts as a favorite despite posting a 3.12 ERA over that stretch. Wacha finds himself as a whopping -190 fave Wednesday when the Cardinals host the Cubs.

* Braves right-hander Julio Teheran is on a five-game Under streak, surrendering five runs over 39 innings in that span but going just 1-1 with three no-decisions. Teheran leads Atlanta (+106, 6.5) into San Francisco for a date with the Giants.

Batting Notes

* Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Tuesday's 7-1 win and has driven in a run in five straight games. The Dodgers, who are 3-2 SU and 4-1 O/U in that span, host Miami on Wednesday.

* Boston Red Sox slugger David Ortiz erupted for a pair of homers Tuesday and is batting .500 with three home runs and six RBIs over his past six games. The Red Sox are 4-2 SU and 2-3-1 O/U during the streak; they visit Minnesota on Wednesday.

Totals Streak

Atlanta Braves (1-9-1 O/U): While the Braves' bats fell silent during the first part of the Under run, it has been sensational pitching that has supported the back end of the streak. The Braves have allowed eight runs in their past five games, a stretch that includes a pair of shutouts.

Prop of the Day

The Mets are a +165 underdog to score first against the Yankees - the highest of any team in the majors Wednesday. While Tanaka is one of the stingiest hurlers in baseball, the Mets are hitting .325 in the first inning this season - good for second in the league.

Injury Notes

* Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Carlos Gomez is considered day-to-day with tightness in his lower back. The Brewers are 7-2 O/U when Gomez hits a home run; they tangle with visiting Pittsburgh (+108, 7.5) on Wednesday.

* Colorado Rockies outfielder Michael Cuddyer is expected to return early next week from a hamstring injury. The Rockies, who are 15-9 SU, +632 units and 14-8-2 O/U with Cuddyer out of the lineup, visit Kansas City (-125, 7.5) Wednesday.

Weather Watch

* Fans at O.co Coliseum will be pleased to see wind blowing out to right field at 7 mph for Wednesday's game between Oakland (-193, 9) and the Chicago White Sox. The Athletics went 21-8 SU last season with the wind blowing out to right at less than 10 mph.

Umpire of the Day

The road team is 7-1 in umpire Cory Blaser's last eight games behind home plate. Blaser will call the balls and strikes for the game between the Los Angeles Angels and the host Philadelphia Phillies (+101, 7.5).

** Odds, stats, weather forecast and probable pitchers as of 9:15 a.m. ET Wednesday.

Ducks at Kings: What bettors need to know

Anaheim Ducks at Los Angeles Kings (-137, 5)

If their first-round series was any indication, the Los Angeles Kings have the Anaheim Ducks right where they want them. Los Angeles attempts to stave off elimination and even its Western Conference second-round matchup when it hosts Anaheim for Game 6 on Wednesday. The Kings lost their first three games against San Jose in the opening round before staging an historic rally to win the series, becoming the fourth team in NHL history to accomplish the feat.

Los Angeles continued to surge, winning the first two games of this set in Anaheim. The Pacific Division-champion Ducks returned the favor with two victories at Staples Center before posting a 4-3 triumph on Monday to again push the Kings to the brink. Devante Smith-Pelly snapped a tie by tallying twice in an 83-second span early in the second period and rookie John Gibson made 39 saves as Anaheim withstood a comeback attempt to hand the Kings their second three-game losing streak of the postseason.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, TSN, RDS

ABOUT THE DUCKS: The two-goal performance was the second of the playoffs for Smith-Pelly, who also scored a pair - including the tying tally with 24 seconds left in the third period - in Anaheim's series-clinching overtime victory against Dallas in Game 6 of their first-round matchup. Gibson proved to be human in Game 5 by allowing three goals but improved to a combined 5-0-0 with two shutouts, a 1.40 goals-against average and a .955 save percentage in three NHL regular-season games and a pair of playoff contests.

ABOUT THE KINGS: Regardless of the outcome of the series, Los Angeles' acquisition of Marian Gaborik at the trade deadline has been a superb one. The Slovakian registered 16 points in 19 regular-season games before turning it up a notch in the playoffs with 12 points in as many contests. Gaborik has registered three two-goal performances - including one in Game 5 - and leads the league with eight tallies.

TRENDS:

* Ducks are 5-0 in the last five meetings in Los Angeles.
* Under is 4-1-1 in the last six meetings in Los Angeles.
* Ducks are 25-9 in their last 34 vs. Pacific.
* Kings are 5-2 in their last seven games playing on 1 days rest.

OVERTIME:

1. The Ducks have won three straight playoff games for the first time since 2007, when they captured five in a row against Detroit (three) and Ottawa en route to their Stanley Cup championship.

2. Los Angeles D Willie Mitchell, who has missed six games with an undisclosed injury, skated on Tuesday but is doubtful for Game 6.

3. Smith-Pelly leads Anaheim with five goals but has yet to record an assist in the playoffs.

Trail Blazers at Spurs: What bettors need to know

Portland Trail Blazers at San Antonio Spurs (-7.5, 208.5)

The Portland Trail Blazers avoided elimination for at least one more game and will attempt to keep their season alive when they visit the San Antonio Spurs for Game 5 on Wednesday. The Trail Blazers made some changes to their rotation in Game 4 to catch the Spurs off-guard and dominated the final 17 minutes to pull within 3-1 in the best-of-seven series. Portland is attempting to become the first NBA team in history to recover from a 3-0 deficit and win the series.

San Antonio let it slip away and barely attempted to recover on Monday, sitting Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker for the entire fourth quarter in the 103-92 loss. The Trail Blazers have been missing something off the bench with Mo Williams (groin) down, but Will Barton stepped up with 17 points in 30 minutes in Game 4 while Thomas Robinson added nine points and five rebounds. “We did what we needed to do and we’re looking forward to going to San Antonio and keep competing and keep playing our basketball,” Portland coach Terry Stotts told reporters.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS: Portland held a lead for just 33 seconds total in the first three games of the series but took control at the end of the first quarter and held off the Spurs the rest of the way in Game 4. The big run came at the end of the third quarter, when Nicolas Batum converted a four-point play and buried another 3-pointer to spark a 20-7 surge. “We just played with a lot more energy,” guard Damian Lillard told reporters. “Usually we come out and we’re fighting from behind. We’ve had good third quarters every game, but (Monday) we had a lead going into the third, so it was a little bit different.” Batum finished with 14 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists and is embracing the challenge of digging out of the 3-0 hole. “Like we said, why not us? It’s never been done before,” Batum said.

ABOUT THE SPURS: San Antonio is not worried about the Trail Blazers coming back and is ready to close things out in Game 5. “We have to treat Wednesday’s game like it’s a Game 7,” Parker told reporters. “It’s a big game for us. We worked hard the first three games to be in that position.” Parker outplayed Lillard in each of the first three games but was held to a series lows of 14 points and one assist in Game 4 before sitting out the final 14 minutes-plus. Portland tried out Batum defensively against Parker and kept the speedy guard from getting into the lane at will as he had in the first three games.

TRENDS:

* Over is 9-4 in the last 13 meetings.
* Trail Blazers are 1-5 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Spurs are 1-7 ATS in their last eight games following a ATS loss.
* Over is 5-0 in Spurs last five home games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Lillard is the first player in NBA history to record 25 or more 3-pointers and 50 or more free throws in his first 10 postseason games.

2. Spurs G Danny Green is 4-of-18 from 3-point range in the series.

3. Portland is the last team to force a Game 7 after being down 3-0 in a series, falling to the Dallas Mavericks 4-3 in the first round in 2003.

MLB Top 4: No-name money pitchers

Every season, a collection of unheralded pitchers return the kind of value usually reserved for the very best hurlers in the majors.

In some cases, these under-the-radar finds are able to maintain their hot streak throughout the season. Other times, the early-season good times give way to a more difficult schedule as hitters make adjustments.

Here are four no-name pitchers with the highest money values heading into the second half of May (records are team marks vs. moneyline):

Andre Rienzo, Chicago White Sox (4-0, 4.56 ERA, $548)

Rienzo has been the most fortunate pitcher on this list. The 25-year-old Brazil native hasn't necessarily pitched all that well, surrendering at least three runs in each of his four starts while failing to go longer than 6 1/3 innings in any of them. But the White Sox bats have provided Rienzo with overwhelming support, averaging 6.5 runs in those outings to help him to a 3-0 record despite an inflated ERA. Chicago was an underdog in all of Rienzo's first four starts.

Tyler Skaggs, Los Angeles Angels (6-1, 4.14 ERA, $509)

Like Rienzo, Skaggs has had his share of rough outings - allowing four or more runs in three of his last six starts. But the 22-year-old has actually been far more effective, limiting opponents to a .228 average while surrendering just four home runs in 45 2/3 innings and posting a solid 1.12 WHIP. The Angels have given him plenty of run support so far, scoring at least five runs in all but one of his starts. Skaggs has a respectable 3-1 mark against the moneyline as a dog.

Scott Kazmir, Oakland Athletics (7-1, 2.28 ERA, $504)

Kazmir is the most recognizable name on the list, but may also be the unlikeliest. His career thought to be over after wildness and prolonged struggles bounced him from the majors, Kazmir has stormed back to relevance. The 30-year-old left-hander has surrendered fewer than two runs in four of his eight starts while limiting opponents to just two home runs in 51 1/3 innings. Oakland has given him plenty of offense, averaging more than six runs per game in his outings.

Jordan Lyles, Colorado Rockies (6-2, 2.66 ERA, $440)

Lyles has been an underdog in five of his eight starts, but has risen to the challenge as the top pitcher for the surprisingly potent Rockies. The 23-year-old right-hander has registered five consecutive quality starts - three of those coming on the road - and has held foes to a .223 average while getting off to a 5-0 start. He has also benefited from the league's most potent offense, getting at least five runs of support in five of eight outings. He's a perfect 4-0 in those starts

Minnesota hits left handed pitchers well and we have picked on Doubront all season long. Until he starts proving he can pitch in a 5 man rotation as a starter I am going to assume he is going to give up a ton of runs. Correia has been equally as brutal this year and I think both pitchers will allow enough runs to push this over the total by the 5th inning. Take the Over.

Game: Texas Rangers @ Houston Astros
Time: Wednesday 05/14 8:10 PM Eastern
Pick: Houston +103 (moneyline) at BetPhoenix

The Houston Astros lose a lot of games. At first glance of the line here, one would make a knee-jerk reaction and side with the Texas Rangers. The public certainly has taken the bait as 65% of them are on the visitors in this one. There are a few problems with that logic. Over the last 16 games, it is Houston with a better record than Texas. The Rangers' rotation has been diminished by injuries, and Nick Tepesch is just 4-6 with a 4.84 ERA. Houston has received top-of-the-rotation work from Scott Feldman with his 1.93 ERA on the season, and his former team has a lifetime .197 batting average against him. The Rangers are going through a troubling stretch, and are mis-matched on the mound here. Play on Houston.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Heat/Nets Under 189 @ -110 / 1.91 on Bookmaker (http://www.cappersmall.com/forums/redirect-to/?redirect=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookmaker.eu%2F%3Fcmpid %3D4437)

Play #1

We’ve lost w/ the Under in the last game of this series, but I’m back again playing the Under in tonight’s contest as the circumstances really didn’t change for this game.

As usual, last game was a slow paced affair w/ Pace Factor of 82.7 and obviously, both teams were incredible efficient on the offensive end! I’ve watched once again the game today and I couldn’t stop noticed the incredible number of times that both teams hit some tough contested jumpers… I’ve just checked NBA.com/stats… MIA went 23-37 FG (62.2%!!!) in contested shots and even the Nets shot 27-59 FG (45.8%!) in those shots!

Naturally, we can expect a bit of regression from both teams for tonight and therefore, I’m playing the Under in here as my Single Dime Play!

**SAN ANTONIO (-8) over Portland
06:30 PM Pacific Rotation: 740
Portland took advantage of a cold shooting Spurs team (17% 3-pointers and 58% free throws) to win game 4 at home but San Antonio has still outscored the Blazers by 45 points in this series and I expect them to put this series away at home. San Antonio is very likely to bounce back from their game 4 loss, as the Spurs are 16-1-1 ATS at home after exactly 1 playoff loss in the Tim Duncan era, including their 119-96 game 7 win over Dallas in the first round. The Spurs also apply to a 78-24-2 ATS playoff bounce-back situation tonight and my ratings favor San Antonio by 8.7 points, so the line is more than fair. I’ll take San Antonio in a 2-Star Best Bet at -9 points or less.
Strong Opinion – MIAMI (-7) over Brooklyn
04:00 PM Pacific Rotation: 738
Miami has had a habit of raising their level of play in the postseason during the LeBron James era and this year has been no different. The Heat are 42-23-1 ATS in playoff games when not favored by 10 points or more, including 6-1 ATS this year and 15-2 ATS against teams with a win percentage of less than .575. On average the Heat have played 2.0 points better in playoff games than during the regular season (in games with their stars playing). My ratings favor Miami by 6.2 points based on current lineups using this season’s data and the question is if Miami’s past improvement in playoff games is real or just variance. That 2.0 average boost in performance over the regular season rating is based 75 playoff games, which is pretty significant, but it is still likely that part of that difference is random. But, I do think 7 is at least a fair line and the Heat apply to a solid 112-49-2 ATS playoff situation (they’re 10-5 ATS in that situation in the LeBron era). I’ll consider Miami a Strong Opinion.

Brooklyn vs. Miami – May 14, 2014 – 7:00 PM

10* Pick: @ Under 190 -110

Miami and Brooklyn are in a possible playoff clinching game and while both closed their first round series with overs, I expect this one to stay below the total even though it not an elimination game for sure. Three of the first four games of this series have gone over the total including each of the last two and because of that, we are getting some added value as this total is two points higher than the last game. While a bucket may not seem like much, we have all seen how some of these come right down to the final possession or final free throw so every point counts. This also goes along the lines of using the zig zag or bounce angle and I have mentioned in the past that while the sides have not been as good in recent years, totals have still done pretty well and with us going against a two-game over run, it is even more in our favor. Going back, Brooklyn has gone over the total is seven of their last 10 games while Miami has also gone over in seven of their last 10 games and those are obviously trends that we prefer to fade as recent games tends to not only sway the public but that in turn changes the numbers. The Under is 4-0 in Miami’s last four home games against teams with a road winning percentage of less than .400 while the under is 6-2 in Brooklyn’s last eight games as a single-digit underdog of seven or more points. 10* Under (737) Brooklyn Nets/(738) Miami Heat
