# 5 DOT NOTATION 3/1

# 4 MAJESTIC BELLA 1/1

# 2 AUSTRIA 9/2

DOT NOTATION has a very good shot to take this race. Has run admirably when running a turf route race. MAJESTIC BELLA - Has posted reliable Equibase Speed Figures in turf route races in the past. Ought to be given a shot based on the very good Equibase Speed Figure earned in the last contest. AUSTRIA - Her 72 average has this filly with among the strongest speed figures in this competition. Has decent Equibase Class Figures relative to this group - worth a look.

# 13 WICKED TRICK 1/1

# 10 DAS DA ONE 5/2

# 1 PROQUESTOR 8/1

I've got to go with WICKED TRICK. He must be given a chance given the strong speed numbers. The extreme drop in class can only aid this horse this time out. Is a contender - given the 80 speed rating from his most recent race. DAS DA ONE - Look for a very strong pace improvement from this animal who enters with second time Lasix today. Is worth considering and may be a wager - strong Speed Figures (74 average) at today's distance and surface lately. PROQUESTOR - Is tough not to look at given the company run in lately. He has recorded respectable figures under today's conditions and ought to fare well against this group.

#8 HIDDEN APPEAL (ML=5/2)
#3 ARTIFUL MOVE (ML=5/1)


HIDDEN APPEAL - This mare is in fine form, having run a good race on December 5th, finishing second. Have to like the early speed on this one. No one else may even be close. This mare's last speed fig garnered on Dec 5th is tops in last race speed figs. Ranked the highest in earnings per start. Another indication that this horse has class. ARTIFUL MOVE - I'm expecting this horse to run a strong race this time.

Vulnerable Contenders: #1 LEMON AVOCADO (ML=7/2), #5 CANDY PANTS (ML=9/2), #4 MENSCHKE (ML=9/2),

LEMON AVOCADO - Had to show me much more last out. Never made much of an impact. Unlikely that the speed rating she registered on November 22nd will be good enough in this clash. CANDY PANTS - This thoroughbred hasn't had nary a single workout after running so well on Nov 29th. This steed has no victories in her last ten attempts. She's probably not worth the price on the win end today. Difficult to put your money on the win end of any racer that finishes second and third as often as this entrant does. MENSCHKE - This horse hasn't shown much life in the last pair of contests.

#6 MO MISSISSIPPI (ML=6/1)


KA'NAH - Rider jumped on this colt's back for the first time on Nov 16th. Should 'know' the equine even better in today's contest. Have to forget about that last turf race. This colt should do better hitting the dirt right here. Another way to judge class is earnings per race. This racer has the highest in the field. I think he'll be close at the finish line. NORSKI - On board this horse on December 6th and Flores is yet again in the irons this race. This gelding is in excellent physical condition right now. Ran second last out and comes back quickly. MO MISSISSIPPI - This thoroughbred coming off a solid try in the last month or so is a serious competitor in my opinion. Last time out on December 6th was a good tune-up for today. Got decent betting action in that one, but finished third. Expect better in this event.

Vulnerable Contenders: #9 SCALPER (ML=7/2), #10 JUMPIN THRU HOOPS (ML=5/1), #1 ONE BAD BOY (ML=6/1),

SCALPER - 7/2 is just not enough of a price to take on this one. JUMPIN THRU HOOPS - Not the right 'fit' in this event. ONE BAD BOY - Don't figure that this pony is worth 6/1 in this affair.

Top HatGUEST COMMENTARY: Winston - KA'NAH - This come from behinder won't let the early lick get too far ahead. Will reel them in in the homestretch.

Wednesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Kings at Clippers – 10:35 PM EST

Two of the surprising, yet forgotten teams in the Pacific Division behind the Warriors and Lakers hook up at Staples Center. Los Angeles (19-14 SU, 19-14 ATS) has covered three consecutive games since a 1-6 ATS run, as the Clippers fell short in their last contest at Golden State on Sunday. The Warriors edged the Clippers, 129-127 as 10 ½-point underdogs, managing the cover in spite of Stephen Curry’s go-ahead basket in the final second. The Clippers shot 54% from the floor and were aided by Lou Williams off the bench with 25 points in his third game back since missing four contests with a hamstring strain.

Sacramento (18-15 SU, 21-12 ATS) bounced back from a 19-point loss to Oklahoma City to capture the final two games of its homestand in comeback fashion against Memphis and New Orleans. The Kings erased a 13-point halftime deficit to squeeze by the Grizzlies, 102-99, led by Buddy Hield’s 28 points. Sacramento overcame another double-digit hole against New Orleans on Sunday by rallying for a 122-117 triumph to improve to 5-1 ATS in the past six games at Golden 1 Center.

In their first matchup in Sacramento last month, the Clippers outgunned the Kings, 133-121 to cash as two-point road favorites and easily eclipse the OVER of 236. L.A. knocked down 55% of its field goal attempts, while Tobias Harris paced the Clippers with 28 points on 11-of-17 shooting. The Clippers have owned the Kings of late by winning nine of the past 10 matchups since February 2016, while L.A. has taken each of the last three meetings at Staples Center by double-digits.

Saddle Up

After dropping three games by 30 points or more in a seven-day stretch from late November through early December, San Antonio has rebounded nicely. The Spurs (18-16 SU, 18-15-1 ATS) have won seven of their last nine games, which includes a 6-1 record at AT&T Center. Although San Antonio lost in its last trip to the court on Saturday at Houston, the Spurs own a 7-0 ATS record in their last seven victories.

San Antonio welcomes in Denver for the first time this season, as the Nuggets (21-10 SU, 19-12 ATS) had their four-game winning streak snapped in a 21-point setback to the Clippers on Saturday. The Nuggets have dropped three straight contests away from Pepsi Center, including defeats to the Hawks and Hornets to wrap up their recent road swing. Last season, the home team grabbed all four meetings, while the Nuggets haven’t won in San Antonio since March 2012.

Back on Track

The Nets (16-19 SU, 18-17 ATS) put together a season-high seven-game winning streak before falling to Indiana on Friday. Brooklyn rebounded by holding off Phoenix on Sunday, 111-103, but failed to cash as 9 ½-point favorites as the Suns outscored the Nets, 29-20 in the fourth quarter. The Nets had covered eight consecutive games before suffering back-to-back ATS losses, while dropping to 4-4 ATS this season in the favorite role.

Brooklyn hosts Charlotte as the Hornets (16-16 SU, 17-15 ATS) look to improve on a 4-9 road record this season. Boston routed Charlotte on Sunday, 119-103 to snap a modest two-game winning streak, while the Hornets slipped to 1-5 ATS the past six games overall. The Hornets and Nets are hooking up for the first time this season as Charlotte grabbed two of three matchups last season.

The Heat is On

Utah led Miami, 40-15 after one quarter on December 12 and ultimately blew out the Heat, 111-84. Since that setback, the Heat (16-16 SU, 18-14 ATS) haven’t lost a game as they have won five in a row, all in the underdog role. After Miami defeated Houston and Milwaukee at home, the Heat rolled past the Magic on Sunday, 115-91 as 2 ½-point underdogs. Tyler Johnson and Justise Winslow combined to score 47 points, while the Heat knocked down 16 three-pointers.

The Raptors (25-10 SU, 16-19 ATS) head to American Airlines Arena looking to bounce back from a 25-point defeat at Philadelphia on Saturday. Granted, Toronto played without Kawhi Leonard on the second of a back-to-back set, but the Raptors could only muster 42 second half points after posting 59 before halftime. The Raptors fell to 1-4 ATS the past five games, while dropping their third consecutive road game after picking up blowout wins at the Clippers and Warriors. Toronto held off Miami in its first matchup, 125-115, but the Heat cashed as 12-point underdogs, marking Miami’s fifth straight cover in the series.

Eastern Struggles

The Wizards and Pistons are both mired in cold stretches as they try to move up in the Eastern Conference. Detroit (15-16 SU, 15-15-1 ATS) has lost nine of its past 11 games, while Washington (13-21 SU, 12-22 ATS) has dropped seven of its last nine contests following a three-game winning streak to begin December.

Washington has been terrible on the road all season long (4-15), as the Wizards are in the midst of six-game highway skid since beating New York and Atlanta earlier this month away from Capital One Arena. The latest setback came in Sunday’s 105-89 defeat at Indiana as 10 ½-point underdogs, marking a 1-8 ATS record for Washington the last nine games.

The Pistons picked up a solid victory at Minnesota in overtime last Wednesday, but Detroit’s offense has been nowhere to be found the last two games. Detroit produced 86 points in a 12-point defeat last Friday at Charlotte, while getting shocked by Atlanta on Sunday afternoon, 98-95 as 9 ½-point home favorites. These two teams are meeting for the first time this season as the Wizards grabbed three of four matchups in 2017-18.

Wednesday's Bowl Tips
Joe Williams

**Boston College vs. Boise State**

First Responder Bowl

-- The Boston College Eagles (7-5 straight up, 7-5 against the spread) of the Atlantic Coast Conference will battle the Boise State Broncos (10-3 straight up, 7-5-1 against the spread) from the Mountain West Conference in the First Responder Bowl, formerly the Heart of Dallas Bowl.

-- The Eagles haven't had a lot of success in bowl games lately. They won the 2016 Quick Lane Bowl over Maryland by a 36-30 count, but that was their only victory in the past seven postseason games dating back to 2008. This will be their first appearnce in the First Responder Bowl, and their first postseason appearance in the state of Texas since they won the 1985 Cotton Bowl over Houston by a 45-28 score.

-- The Broncos have had a much better measure of success in bowl games recently, posting victories in seven of their past nine appearances, including last season over Oregon in the Las Vegas Bowl, 38-28. Under head coach Bryan Harsin they're 3-1 in four bowl games in each of the past four seasons. This will be Boise State's first appearance in the First Responder Bowl, and their first bowl game in the Lone Star State since dropping TCU 34-31 in the Fort Worth Bowl back on Dec. 23, 2003.

-- B.C. had an exciting season and they outperformed expectations like they usually do. The fired out of the box with three wins against UMass, Holy Cross and at Wake Forest to start 3-0 SU/ATS with an 'over' in each outing. They were humbled at Purdue Sept. 22 by a 30-13 count, but they beat fellow bowl team Temple 45-35 on Sept. 29. A narrow loss and cover at N.C. State was a tough pill to swallow, but they rattled off three straight ACC wins against Louisville, Miami and at Virginia Tech to easily attain bowl eligibility. The Eagles finished on a three-game slide and non-cover streak with losses to Clemson, Florida State and Syracuse, all bowl teams.

-- The Eagles were rather marginal in all aspects, ranking 66th in the country in total yards (404.4 yards per game), 80th in passing yards (215.2 YPG) and 51st in rushing yards (189.2 YPG). Defensively they were just 71st overall in total yards allowed (403.2 YPG), and 96th against the pass (247.8 YPG). They were slightly better in rushing defense (155.3 YPG) and points allowed (25.7 PPG), ranking 53rd overall in both areas.

-- Boise opened with an emphatic 56-20 win at Troy on Sept. 1, and they squashed UConn 62-7 as 34-point favorites in Game 2. However, they were overmatched by Power 5 Conference member Oklahoma State, and they were tripped up at home on the Smurf Turf against San Diego State to sit 3-2 SU/ATS through five games. That's when their run started, posting seven straight wins to qualify for the MWC title game. They were tripped up by Fresno State in overtime by a 19-16 score in a snowstorm. The 'under' ended up 5-0 in their final five ames, and 7-2 in the final nine.

-- The Broncos ranked 23rd in total yards (459.5 YPG), while ranking 18th in the nation with 292.0 passing yards per outing. They also checked in 24th in the land with 35.4 points per game. Defensively, Boise State was 38th overall with 355.9 YPG allowed, and they were tough against the run at 23rd in the nation with 122.9 YPG. They also yielded just 22.1 PPG, 31st overall.

-- Top RB A.J. Dillon (ankle) is listed as questionable due to an ankle injury he has been hampered with in the second half of the season. He piled up a team-best 1,108 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground.

-- B.C. is 9-3-1 ATS in the past 13 against winning teams, 3-1-1 ATS in the past five neutral-site games and 15-6-1 ATS in the past 22 overall. They're just 2-7 ATS in the past nine bowl games, however, and 1-9 ATS in their past 10 appearances in the month of December.

-- Boise is 7-3 ATS across their past 10 bowl appearances, while going 9-4 ATS in the past 13 neutral-site battles. However, they're just 3-7 ATS in the past 10 games played in December.

-- The over has hit in each of B.C.'s past four bowl appearances while going 5-1 in their past six non-conference tilts. The under is 4-1 in their past five games overall, however.

-- The under has cashed in five straight for Boise State, and is also 5-0 in their past five against winning teams. However, the over is 5-2 in their past seven bowl contests.

-- These teams last met Dec. 28, 2005 in the MPC Computers Bowl in Boise, with Boston College coming away with a 27-21 win.

-- Kickoff is slated for 1:30 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.


**Minnesota vs. Georgia Tech**

Quick Lane Bowl

-- In the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit we get the Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-6 straight up, 7-5 against the spread) from the Big Ten Conference squaring off against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-5 straight up, 5-7 against the spread) from the ACC.

-- Minnesota appeared in this game in 2015, winning 21-14 while covering (-6) against Central Michigan. Georgia Tech is making its first appearance in the game.

-- After an ugly seven-game bowl losing streak, that Quick Lane appearance in 2015 kicked off a two-game bowl win streak which also incluced a 17-12 win over Washington State in the 2016 Holiday Bowl.

-- The Yellow Jackets also had their own streak of misery in bowl games, dropping seven in a row from 2005-11. However, they're 3-1 in their past four postseason games, including a 33-18 slaying of Kentucky in the 2016 TaxSlayer Bowl. Neither of these teams appeared in a bowl game last season.

-- The Gophers started out 3-0 SU/ATS, including an impressive 21-14 win over Group of 5 contender Fresno State back on Sept. 8. They dropped four in a row from Sept. 22-Oct. 20, including lopsided losses to Maryland, Iowa, Ohio State and Nebraska, and things appeared to be going off the rails. They recorded a 38-31 win over Indiana to cover as 2 1/2-point 'dogs, but a 55-31 loss at Illinois put their bowl eligibility in doubt. However, they humbled Purdue 41-10 and beat the pants off of Wisconsin 37-15 in Madison to punch their ticket to the postseason in emphatic fashion.

-- The Yellow Jackets didn't get their first win against an FBS foe until Sept. 29, stomping Bowling Green 63-17. They pled up the points at Louisville the following week, winning 66-31 against a bad Cardinals side. Perhaps their most impressive win came Oct. 25, going to Blacksburg to push aside Virginia Tech 49-28. They gained bowl eligibility Nov. 10 with a 27-21 win over Miami, and topped Virginia 30-27 in overtime on Nov. 17 for good measure. They weren't up to the task against rival Georgia in Athens to close out the season, losing 45-21.

-- The Ramblin' Wreck ranked No. 1 in the country with 335.0 yards per game, and they were 21st in points scored with 35.6 PPG. They don't really pass the ball, as Paul Johnson's club uses the triple-option. Defensively they were adequate, ranking 45th in the country (367.8 YPG), while ranking 55th in passing yards allowed (217.9 YPG) and 50th in rush defense (149.8 YPG).

-- Ga. Tech QB TaQuon Marshall passed for just 824 yards while completing only 44.0 percent of his passes. That's not his thing. Running is his thing, and he led the team with 897 yards on the ground while piercing the end zone 11 times. TB Tobias Oliver had a team-high 12 rushing touchdowns with 807 yards on the ground (5.6 YPC). RBs Jordan Mason also had seven rushing scores and 6.2 yards per tote, and eight different Jackets had at least two rushing scores (45 total).

-- Minny had difficulty on offense, ranking 68th in the country in points scored (28.5 PPG). They also were just 89th in total yards (379.0 YPG). They'll have their hands full against the run, and they ranked just 74th in the nation in that category with 170.7 YPG. They also gave up 27.9 PPG to check in 75th in the nation.

-- For the Gophers, WR Tyler Johnson is the most dangerous player on offense, gathering 74 receptions for 1,112 yards and 10 touchdowns (15.0 average).

-- The Golden Gophers are 5-0 ATS over the past five non-conference games, but they're just 2-5-1 ATS in the past eight games following a straight-up victory. They're also 0-4 ATS in the past four following a cover.

-- The Jackets have an impressive 4-0-1 ATS mark over the past five neutral-site battles, but they're just 1-4 ATS in the past five outside the ACC. They are 5-1 ATS in the past six games played in the month of December, however.

-- The under has connected in six of the past eight non-Big 10 games for Minnesota, while going 4-0 in their past four against teams with a winning record.

-- For Ga. Tech, the over is 6-2-1 across their past nine games overall, but the under has hit in six of the past eight bowl appearances.

-- This is the first-ever meeting between Minnesota and Georgia Tech.

-- Kickoff is slated for 5:15 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.


**Texas Christian vs. California**

Cheez-It Bowl

-- In the Cheez-It Bowl (the bowl formerly known as the Cactus Bowl), takes place at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. The game features the Texas Christian Horned Frogs (6-6 straight up, 4-8 against the spread) of the Big 12 Conference facing off against the California Golden Bears (7-5 straight up, 7-5 against the spread) of the Pac-12 Conference.

-- The Horned Frogs have appeared in bowl games in six consecutive seasons, and they have won nine of their past 12 postseason tilts. However, they were edged 17-16 in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl by Michigan State on Dec. 29, 2012 in their most recent bowl appearance in the state of Arizona. Since 2000, Gary Patterson has led his team to 17 bowls, going 10-6 heading into this one. They're also 3-0 all-time in bowl games against current Pac-12 members.

-- The Golden Bears won their most recent bowl appearance on Dec. 29, 2015 aginst Air Force in the Armed Forces Bowl, 55-36. Cal is also 5-2 SU in the past seven bowl games, and 9-4 SU in the past 13. They won the Insight Bowl on Dec. 26, 2003 in this stadium, topping Virginia Tech 52-49 in a thriller. They also won the Copper Bowl on Dec. 31, 1990 in Tucson against Wyoming in their only other appearance in a bowl game in Arizona.

-- TCU opened 2-0, including a 42-12 drumming of SMU on the road. They lost a 40-28 game in Arlington, Tex. against Ohio State, and followed that up with a 31-16 loss at Texas to fall to 2-2 SU/ATS. The Horned Frogs picked up a 17-14 win on Sept. 29 against a good Iowa State side, but lost three in a row to Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Kansas to put their bowl eligibility in danger. The loss to the Jayhawks was the real head-scratcher. However, they won three of their final four, including a 31-24 decision against Oklahoma State on Nov. 24 to secure their postseason ticket.

-- TCU was 93rd in total yards (374.6 YPG), while ranking 95th in rushing offense (148.5 YPG) and 98th in points scored (24.7 PPG). On defense, they're 28th in yardage allowed (344.4 YPG), while ranking 40th against the pass (202.6 YPG), 42nd against the rush (141.8 YPG) and 45th in points allowed (24.4 PPG).

-- Cal fired out of the gate with a 3-0 SU/1-1-1 ATS mark, including a nice 21-18 victory at BYU. They fell in three in a row from Sept. 29-Oct. 13, including a bad loss to previously winless UCLA. However, they impressed with a 12-10 win against Washington on Oct. 27, lost a narrow (but covered!) game at Washington State on Nov. 3, and won at USC on Nov. 10 for the first time at L.A. Coliseum since 2000, and first time in the series since 2003 when QB Aaron Rodgers was under center in Berkeley. They lost a rescheduled game at home Dec. 1 against Stanford after entering 'The Big Game' on a 4-1 SU/5-0 ATS run.

-- The Golden Bears offense was rather atrocious in 2018, as they ranked just 111th in the country in total yards (350.2 YPG). If they do anything well, it's run the ball, ranking 75th with 162.5 YPG, but they managed just 22.8 YPG to finish 108th overall. Defensively the Golden Bears are strong, allowing just 319.4 YPG to finish 16th in the nation, they're 23rd overall with 21.2 PPG allowed and 23rd against the pass, too.

-- TCU has quarterback issues, as QBs Shawn Robinson (shoulder) and QB Justin Rogers (knee) were lost for the season, and QB Michael Collins (foot) is listed as doubtful. The signal-caller duties will fall on QB Grayson Muehlstein, who threw for 328 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions this season, including 180 yards and two TDs in the final against OK State.

-- Cal enters 5-1 ATS over the past six games, and they're 5-2-1 ATS in the past eight non-conference battles. However, they're 1-5 ATS in the past six neutral-site games and 1-5 ATS in the past six in the month of December.

-- TCU is just 2-7 ATS in their past nine overall and 3-10 ATS in the past 13 neutral-site games, including earlier this season against Ohio State. They're 2-8 ATS in the past 10 against teams with a winning record and 2-7 ATS in their past nine bowl games.

-- The under has cashed in seven of the past eight for California, while going 5-0 in their past five games on a grass surface. The over is 9-2 in their past 11 neutral-site games and 7-2 in the past nine bowl games.

-- The over is 4-1 in TCU's past five neutral-site games and 4-1 in their past five outside of the conference. The under is 8-3-1 in their past 12 bowl games, however, and 7-3 in the past nine played in December.

-- This is the first-ever meeting between Cal and TCU on the gridiron.

-- Kickoff is slated for 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

The Washington Wizards just don’t seem interested at all this season. And they’ve really struggled since losing the underrated Otto Porter Jr. to injury. The Wizards are 2-7 SU & 1-8 ATS in their last nine games overall with one of those wins coming in triple overtime at home against the lowly Suns. The Wizards have been atrocious on the road this season. They are 4-15 SU & 4-15 ATS on the highway while giving up nearly 120 PPG and losing by 11 PPG on average. The Wizards are 17-35 ATS in their last 52 road games overall. The Pistons are 5-1 ATS in their last six games when playing on two days’ rest. Detroit has won 30 of its last 41 home meetings with Washington. The home team has won 11 of the last 14 meetings. Give me the Pistons.

The Key: The Phoenix Suns are starting to get too much respect from oddsmakers after going 6-0 ATS in their last 6 games overall coming in. This is still an 8-26 team that is 3-15 in road games this season and losing by 11.5 PPG. The Magic come in lacking respect from oddsmakers due to an 0-3 SU & 0-3 ATS stretch going into Christmas Break. They should come out of the break hungry for a victory tonight against a team they can handle in the Suns. The Magic are 4-0 in their last 4 meetings with the Suns with all 4 wins coming by 6 points or more and by an average of 10.5 PPG. The Magic are 11-3 ATS in their last 14 after allowing 100 points or more last game. The Suns are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games playing on 2 days rest. Take Orlando.

Take Under the Total in the game between the Phoenix Suns and the Orlando Magic. Phoenix (8-26) looks to rebound from a 111-103 loss at Brooklyn as a 9-point underdog on Sunday. The Suns have played 9 of their last 12 games after a straight-up loss. Phoenix has also played 6 of their last 8 games Under the Total when playing on the road. Orlando (14-18) has lost three straight games with their 115-91 loss to Miami on Sunday. The Magic have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a double-digit loss. Orlando has also played 12 of their last 16 games Under the Total against teams with a winning percentage no better than 40%. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

I am taking the points with the Cavaliers with this large spread. The Grizzlies have dropped five out of their last six games, and they are only averaging 97.5 points in that span while allowing an average of 102.5 points.
Furthermore, the Cavaliers are shooting a decent 35% from three-point range on the season, and the Grizzlies three-point defense ranks down at 21st in the NBA. The Grizzlies have failed to cover in five out of their last six games, and I expect that trend to continue in this one.

NBA | Nuggets vs Spurs
Play on: UNDER 217 -107

1* Free Pick on Nuggets/Spurs UNDER
I'm expecting a big defensive effort from both teams out of lengthy Christmas Break. Both the Nuggets and Spurs have been off since Saturday and each will be looking to rebound from a loss.
Denver suffered their worst loss of the season in a 132-111 blowout loss to the Clippers. San Antonio lost 108-101 at Houston, but trailed by as many as 17 in the 4th quarter. Prior to that the Spurs had won 7 of their last 8, including 3 straight by at least 26 points.
While San Antonio failed to beat the Rockets, they continued their impressive run on the defensive side of the ball. The Spurs held Houston to just 38.9% from the field and have not allowed a team to shoot over 43.5% from the field in 8 straight games. It's a really remarkable turnaround, as they had allowed 46% or worse in their previous 11 games.
With this game being in San Antonio and the Nuggets still missing a lot of key pieces to injury, I would expect the Spurs defense to play well here. Denver's defense has been hit or miss, but they are giving up just 104.3 ppg on the season and the UNDER is 22-9 in their last 31 road games against San Antonio. Under is also a perfect 4-0 in the Spurs last 4 at home vs a team with a winning road record. Take the UNDER!

Play on: Pelicans +2½ -108 at pinnacle

Dallas has lost six in a row. So why back the Mavericks here? Several reasons. Dallas is home where it is 13-3. The Mavericks suffered five of their losses during their current losing streak on the road - and they were in all of those games, including four-point losses to the Clippers and Warriors and an overtime defeat to the Trail Blazers. Those close losses all came within the span of four days. The Mavericks have revenge for an embarrassing 132-106 road loss suffered to the Pelicans three weeks ago. Dallas was playing for the third time in four days in that game and also without rest. Here, the Mavericks have been idle since this past Sunday night. New Orleans isn't playing well dropping 12 of its last 17 games, including their last four. This marks the Pelicans' fourth consecutive road game. New Orleans is 4-14 SU, 7-11 ATS on the road this season. The teams meet again Friday in New Orleans. So the Mavericks will be doing all they can to protect their home floor knowing they will be underdogs on Friday.

10* FREE NCAAF PICK (Cal -1)
I'll take my chances here with the Golden Bears to defeat the Horned Frogs in the 2018 Cheez-It Bowl. Injuries and a suspension really put the TCU offense in a bad spot this year. The Horned Frogs lost starting quarterback Shawn Robinson to a season-ending shoulder injury and won’t have backup Michael Collins, who is dealing with a foot injury. Leading rusher, Darius Anderson is also not going to be available and wide out KaVontae Turpin was suspended back in October.
TCU finished the year averaging 24.7 ppg, which was almost a touchdown under what their opponents gave up on average. When you struggle to move the ball and put points on the board against all those lackluster defenses in the Big 12, you know there’s some serious problems.
I just have a hard time seeing the Horned Frogs being able to get anything going against a top tier Cal defense. The Golden Bears allowed just 21.2 ppg, which was 8.3 ppg fewer than what their opponents averaged. They were also even more stingy on the road, as they only gave up 16.4 ppg away from home.
The one big weapon that TCU has is wide out Jalen Reagor, but Cal has the 23rd ranked pass defense (187.1 ypg) in the country and you can bet they will have a gameplan in place to make sure Reagor doesn’t beat them.
I know the Cal offense isn’t much better, but I trust them a lot more and there’s a chance TCU’s defense doesn’t play well. I have to wonder how much the Horned Frogs even care about this game. Keep in mind they entered the season No. 16 in the country and were coming off an 11-win season. This is no where close to the bowl they thought they would be in and there’s no extra incentive to beating a Cal team that hasn’t really done anything to make them a team you would be excited to beat. Give me the Golden Bears -1!

NBA | Kings vs Clippers
Play on: Clippers -5 -115 at BMaker

My free play is on the LA Clippers at 10:35 ET.
The 18-15 Sacramento Kings visit Staples Center on Wednesday night to face Pacific Divison rival, the 19-14 LA Clippers. The Kings come in having recovered from double-digit deficits to win each of their last two games, 102-99 over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday and 122-117 over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. "The identity that we're never out of a game, we love," Sacramento head coach Dave Joerger told reporters. The Clippers enter having lost SEVEN of their 10 games, including a 129-127 loss to the defending champion Golden State Warriors on Sunday. "We don't really take moral victories," Los Angeles PG Patrick Beverley told reporters. "We could have - and we should have - won but we came up short."
Sacto center Willie Cauley-Stein scored 22 points and collected a career-high 17 rebounds against New Orleans, for his second straight double-double (12th of the season). Cauley-Stein (13.9 & 8.6 on the season) is averaging 12.8 points and 9.3 rebounds with five double-doubles so far in December. SG Buddy Hield scored 28 points against the Pelicans to score 20 or more for the 10th time in the past 11 games and he is 53-for-112 (47.3%) from three-point range during the stretch. The third-year guard is averaging 20.1 points this season and is shooting 47.9 percent from the floor, including an impressive 44.0 percent from three-point point range (11th-best among qualifiers).
High-scoring reserve guard Lou Williams (17.4) returned from a hamstring issue on Dec 20. The Clippers have averaged 128 points per game in their last three contests, after having averaged averaged 104.3 PPG in the previous four games without Williams. However, Williams was poked in the eye by Steph Curry in the fourth quarter of Sunday night's thrilling 129-127 loss to the Golden State Warriors and didn't return to the game. That said, he is expected to play in this one.
Expect a high-scoring game and I'll side with the home team. After all, the Clippers have won 14 of the past 16 meetings between the two clubs. Expect the Clippers to extend their winning streak over Sacramento to seven games.
Good luck...Larry
