#4 SOX ON THE BEACH (ML=5/1)


SOX ON THE BEACH - Trainer Frazier gave this filly a good stiff drill. Last one was 2nd fastest of the day. Taking a class drop in class rating points from her Jan 24th race at Turfway Park. Based on that element, I will give this thoroughbred the advantage.

Vulnerable Contenders: #8 SMARTLY (ML=3/1), #5 RUN CHUY RUN (ML=9/2), #9 TULALIP (ML=6/1),

SMARTLY - If you keep playing these sort of 'hanger' types, you're going to be let down regularly. Based on the pace scenario in this race, this equine doesn't fit in here. With a single front-runner and this horse having to race from behind, she sure has a tough assignment. RUN CHUY RUN - You believe this animal is going to win just because she's always close. Just doesn't win often. TULALIP - This mare is always hitting the board, but just doesn't finish on top. Hard to wager on her on the front end. Tough to wager on at 6/1 odds after the last two efforts.

# 9 GET YOURSELF HOME 8/1

I've got to go with BYE BYE SAL. Peery has a solid win percentage with horses racing in dirt sprint races. Should keep the strong string of finish positions intact this time around. The Equibase Speed Fig of 79 from her latest contest looks very good in here. NATIONAL BROWSER - Should compete strongly in the pace battle which bodes well with this group. Raudales has shown excellent profits (+23 ROI ) at this distance/surface. GET YOURSELF HOME - Could best this group of animals based on the Equibase Speed Figure - 78 - of her last effort. Has recorded strong speed figures in dirt sprint races in the past.

#2 AWE MUN (ML=5/2)
#1 PAPPA ROX (ML=12/1)


AWE MUN - When a sprinter is back in a race less than 10 days after his last outing, it generally means he's fit. This colt is in good condition, having run a strong race on January 26th, finishing third. PAPPA ROX - The fact that this horse is entered right back into a race so quickly means he's fit and ready. Trainer, Linder, has been deliberate with this horse off the layoff. Look for a solid effort today.

Vulnerable Contenders: #7 EQUUS NOVUS (ML=2/1), #5 CAPE MAY STYLE (ML=4/1), #4 OBVIOUSLY DRAMATIC (ML=8/1),

EQUUS NOVUS - I don't normally play a morning-line choice that hasn't been to the track in the last three weeks. CAPE MAY STYLE - Doesn't look to be in a convenient situation today. OBVIOUSLY DRAMATIC - 8/1 odds isn't enough for this one when checking the most recent outings. Hasn't finished in the money in any sprint races lately. Not likely to see him doing it today either.

I think WILKO LOVESONG is a strong selection and is a competitive value wager given the line. Posted a very good speed figure last time out. Win percentage under similar conditions may be the key for this mare. Greenwood is very serious with this one, wheeling her back quickly. SEVEN CHANCES - Could beat this field given the 72 Equibase Speed Figure garnered in her last outing. Solid average Equibase Speed Figures in dirt route races make this equine a solid contender. STATELY COMMAND - Win percentage one of the strongest in this group.

Boston Celtics vs. Cleveland Cavaliers Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Boston Celtics are surging with wins in nine of the last 10 games and outlasted one of the best teams in the Western Conference with a 134-129 home win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. The Celtics will try to avoid a letdown when they make a one-game stop to visit the Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Boston's lone loss in the last 10 games was a 115-111 setback to the defending champion Golden State Warriors, and the team is feeling very confident after shooting 59.3 percent from the floor and placing eight scorers in double figures in the win over the Thunder. "It says we can compete with anybody," Celtics guard Marcus Smart told reporters after the victory. "They're one of the best defenses in the league and we dropped 134 points on them." The Cavaliers no longer own the worst record in the NBA but missed out on a chance to record their first three-game winning streak of the season when they fell to the Dallas Mavericks 111-98 at home on Saturday. Rookie point guard Collin Sexton went 4-of-17 from the field in the loss and is 15-of-53 over the last four contests.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, NBCS Boston, FS Ohio (Cleveland)

ABOUT THE CELTICS (34-19): Boston scored at least 31 points in each quarter on Sunday and had only one of the nine players who saw action shoot under 50 percent (Gordon Hayward, 1-of-6). "We shot the ball unreal, but we were getting really good looks," center Al Horford told reporters. "That's the difference. It wasn't like lucky shots and stuff like that. We were getting the quality shots that we look for and we just made a lot of them." All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving led the charge with 30 points on 14-of-19 shooting and added 11 assists for his fourth consecutive double-double but the team ruled him out for Tuesday due to a hip injury.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (11-42): Cleveland's season was at first defined by the departure of superstar LeBron James and then quickly became defined by a series of injuries which left the team playing for the lottery. All-Star forward Kevin Love (foot) played in only four games before going down and is closing in on a return, but small forward Cedi Osman became the latest to hit the shelf after leaving Saturday's game with an ankle injury. Osman, who is day-to-day, put up 10 points in 14 minutes prior to his departure and averaged 24.3 points over the four previous games.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Cleveland traded SG Rodney Hood to the Portland Trail Blazers for Gs Wade Baldwin IV and Nik Stauskas and two future second-round draft picks.

2. Celtics C Aron Baynes (foot) sat out Sunday and is not expected to play Tuesday.

3. Boston took the first two meetings by an average of 26.5 points.

PREDICTION: Celtics 116, Cavaliers 102

Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
Lakers vs. Pacers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 02/05/2019

Star forward LeBron James is expected to play for the second time since Christmas Day when the Los Angeles Lakers visit the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday. James has missed 18 of the last 19 games because of a groin injury and Los Angeles is only 7-12 during the stretch.

James returned for Thursday's 123-120 win over the Los Angeles Clippers and had 24 points, 14 rebounds and nine assists and admitted afterward that watching games isn't his forte. "That's the frustration part - when you see your team struggle and you know you can help them and you can't do anything in a suit and tie," James told reporters. "That's when the negativity starts to creep in your mind." The Pacers lost four straight games after losing star guard Victor Oladipo to a season-ending knee injury but have bounced back with consecutive wins over the Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans. "We're still transitioning without Vic," point guard Darren Collison said in a postgame television interview after Monday's 109-107 victory over the host Pelicans. "We're still trying to figure it out. There are going to some growing pains. It's not always going to be pretty."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Spectrum SportsNet (Los Angeles), FS Indiana

ABOUT THE LAKERS (27-26): There is a lot of uncertainty hanging over the roster after the Los Angeles Times reported Monday that Los Angeles has offered six players and two first-round draft choices to the New Orleans Pelicans in its bid to land star big man Anthony Davis. The Times reported that point guards Lonzo Ball and Rajon Rondo, young forwards Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma and journeymen Lance Stephenson and Michael Beasley were offered to the Pelicans for Davis and forward Solomon Hill. Kuzma has been hindered by a hip injury for nearly two weeks and he is listed as probable to play against the Pacers.

ABOUT THE PACERS (34-19): Collison has picked up some of the scoring slack created by Oladipo's injury, scoring 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting against New Orleans for his second straight 20-point effort. "He's having to carry a little bit more load since the absence of Victor," Indiana coach Nate McMillan said during his postgame media session. "He's capable of doing that. He made some big shots. He's the guy we have gone to late in games as far as putting the ball in his hands." The Pacers are hoping to rely more on veteran guard Tyreke Evans but he is 4-of-19 shooting over the past two games after missing three contests with a back injury.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Pacers have won their past five home games against the Lakers.

2. Ingram has scored 20 or more points in five of the past seven contests.

3. Indiana SF Doug McDermott (ribs) will miss his third straight game.

PREDICTION: Pacers 112, Lakers 106

LA Clippers vs. Charlotte Hornets Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Charlotte Hornets are one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference - as long as they're playing in their own arena. The Hornets will try to push their home winning streak to six in a row and pull over .500 overall when they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday.

Charlotte sits at 7-18 on the road but is 19-8 at home after knocking off Memphis and Chicago in the first two of a three-game homestand. "I think you're seeing the character rebuild right before us right now," Hornets coach James Borrego told reporters after watching his team recover from a fourth-quarter deficit to down the Bulls 125-118 on Saturday. "(We) got down early again, and I think our guys were competing early. They were trying. The effort was there. We were making shots. The spirit was right. The competitiveness was right." The Clippers got off to a fine start on their six-game road trip with a win at Detroit on Saturday but could not handle one of the top teams in the East on the second of a back-to-back with an afternoon start and dropped a 121-103 decision at Toronto on Sunday. "I don't complain a lot about scheduling," Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers told reporters. "This one, right when we saw it, it's ridiculous."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Prime Ticket (Los Angeles), FS Southeast (Charlotte)

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (29-25): Los Angeles, which visits Indiana, Boston and Minnesota to round out the trip, is clinging to the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference and dropped three of its last four games. The Clippers fell to the Atlanta Hawks and the Lakers before embarking on the trip and allowed at least 121 points in each of those three setbacks. Reserve shooting guard Lou Williams seemed immune to the short turnaround with 18 points in 21 minutes on Sunday and is doing his best to pull the team out of the funk while averaging 25.5 points over the last four contests.

ABOUT THE HORNETS (26-26): All-Star guard Kemba Walker is carrying the team and scored 15 of his 37 points in the fourth quarter on Saturday while adding 10 assists. Finding secondary scoring is the big challenge for Charlotte, but second-year guard Malik Monk is stepping up of late and scored 18 points against the Bulls - his fourth straight game scoring in double figures. "He's a very confident kid," Borrego told reporters of Monk. "I think what's special and what will continue to be special about him is the fourth-quarter confidence, swagger if you want to call it that. That he's not afraid of the moment, he's willing to take the big shot, make the big play. ... The kid is turning the corner and I don't want to be satisfied with this. I want him to keep going, keep growing, but we're seeing the effects of what Malik can do for our ball club."

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Hornets SF Nicolas Batum is 14-of-25 from the floor over the last three games.

2. Clippers SF Danilo Gallinari (back) missed the last nine games but is expected to join the team at some point on the road trip.

3. Los Angeles earned a 128-109 win at home over Charlotte on Jan. 8 behind 27 points and 10 assists from Williams.

PREDICTION: Hornets 113, Clippers 106

Detroit Pistons vs. New York Knicks Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The New York Knicks look to end a 13-game losing streak when they host the Detroit Pistons on Tuesday in the front end of a home-and-home set between the teams. New York hasn't posted a victory since beating the Los Angeles Lakers on Jan. 4, which represents the team's lone win in the past 22 games.

The Knicks have lost 15 consecutive home games and are 0-3 on a four-game homestand after dropping a 96-84 decision to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. Point guard Dennis Smith Jr. made his debut with the club against the Grizzlies and had eight points and six assists in 26 minutes. The Pistons put forth one of their top efforts of the season when they rolled to a 129-103 victory over the visiting Denver Nuggets on Monday. "It was fun the way we played," Detroit coach Dwane Casey said during his postgame press conference. "I thought we played hard and played together and that is always fun."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, FS Detroit, MSG (New York)

ABOUT THE PISTONS (23-29): Detroit blew a 25-point lead during Sunday's 111-101 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers when the bench was outscored 80-17. It was a totally different result against the Nuggets as the Pistons held a 60-28 edge on bench points and received 21 points from forward Stanley Johnson, 18 from guard Langston Galloway and 14 from guard Luke Kennard. "Our bench was huge," Casey said afterward. "If we get that from them every night, we're not out of the playoff race. We're in the middle of the pack somewhere. We need to have a consistent approach every night."

ABOUT THE KNICKS (10-42): New York owns the worst record in the NBA but is one of the few teams with a chance to acquire New Orleans Pelicans star Anthony Davis prior to Thursday's trading deadline. Davis reportedly is willing to sign a long-term extension with the Knicks should he be sent to the club but perhaps the biggest obstacle is that New York might not have the pieces to make such a deal after trading injured star Kristaps Porzingis to the Dallas Mavericks in the deal to land Smith. Center DeAndre Jordan also was acquired in the Dallas trade and had 12 points and 12 rebounds in his team debut Sunday.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. PF Blake Griffin scored 30 points as the Pistons notched a 115-108 victory over the visiting Knicks on Nov. 27.

2. Detroit C Andre Drummond scored a season-best 27 points against Denver and also collected 12 rebounds for his fifth straight double-double.

3. New York C Mitchell Robinson (illness) is expected to return after a one-game absence.

PREDICTION: Pistons 111, Knicks 106

Orlando Magic vs. Oklahoma City Thunder Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
Magic vs. Thunder Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Oklahoma City Thunder look to start a new winning streak when they host the Orlando Magic on Tuesday. Oklahoma City had a seven-game winning streak halted Sunday, when it fell 134-129 to the host Boston Celtics.

Thunder All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook has rattled off six straight triple-doubles and has 19 on the season after recording 22 points, 16 assists and 12 rebounds in the loss to Boston. Westbrook and All-Star forward Paul George have fueled the offense to a high level of play as the squad had topped 120 points in nine of the last 12 contests. Orlando posted back-to-back victories over the Indiana Pacers and Brooklyn Nets after losing seven of its previous eight games. "You have to play good to win games, and it's that simple," Magic shooting guard Evan Fournier told reporters of his club's quest to get back into the playoff mix. "We just have to play this way for the remainder of the season, no matter who is in front of us."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Florida, FS Oklahoma

ABOUT THE MAGIC (22-31): Fournier saw good signs from his squad during Saturday's 102-89 win over the Nets, namely that the lapses that frequently hurt Orlando were nowhere to be found. "I thought the focus was better and it felt like we played with a purpose for 48 minutes," Fournier told reporters."In previous games, we've had good stretches and then for five or six minutes we're just not doing the things that we should do - not playing the right way and forgetting assignments - but I thought the focus was really good." All-Star center Nikola Vucevic had 24 points and 12 rebounds against Brooklyn for his fourth straight double-double and 36th of the season.

ABOUT THE THUNDER (33-19): Defensive issues cost Oklahoma City in the loss to Boston as the Celtics shot 59.3 percent from the field and topped 30 points in every quarter. "There were times we did a good job and times we didn't," Thunder coach Billy Donovan told reporters. "I didn't think we did it long enough and well enough over a 48-minute period. Every time we got close, they made some really, really good plays, made some big shots. You have to give them credit too. I think our defense wasn't nearly what it has been and can be and should be for us." George scored 37 points and has topped 30 in seven of the past eight games while averaging 34.3 points during the stretch.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Thunder won 12 of the past 15 meetings, including a 126-117 road win on Jan. 29.

2. Oklahoma City backup G Dennis Schroder scored 16 points against Boston and reached double digits in eight straight games.

3. Orlando rookie C Mo Bamba (leg) could return after a one-game absence while SF Jonathon Simmons (abdominal) could miss his third straight game.

PREDICTION: Thunder 121, Magic 107

Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Memphis Grizzlies Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Minnesota Timberwolves' only win in the last four games came at home against the Grizzlies on Wednesday and they will try to turn the same trick when they visit Memphis on Tuesday. The Timberwolves are kicking off a three-game road trip at Memphis that will see them play three games in four nights.

Minnesota came out on top in a close one against the Grizzlies, earning a 99-97 victory in overtime on Wednesday, but was on the other end on Saturday as Luol Deng's 3-point attempt at the buzzer was off the mark in a 107-106 loss to the Denver Nuggets. "It's so hard, after battling that hard, to come up short like that," Timberwolves veteran forward Taj Gibson told reporters. "So tough." Memphis knows all about tough times with losses in 17 of the last 20 games but at least comes into Tuesday's rematch with some momentum after finishing up the three-game road trip with a 96-84 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday. The Grizzlies got back to doing what they do best and locked down on the defensive end, holding the Knicks to 38.4 percent shooting while forcing 16 turnovers.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS North-Plus (Minnesota), FS Southeast (Memphis)

ABOUT THE TIMBERWOLVES (25-27): All-Star center Karl-Anthony Towns did his part with 31 points on 12-of-19 shooting, 12 rebounds and seven assists on Saturday but did not get much help from swingman Andrew Wiggins, who finished with 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting in 35 minutes. Wiggins, a former No. 1 overall pick, is 8-of-29 from the floor over the last two games, including 1-of-8 from beyond the arc. Veteran point guard Jerryd Bayless is trying to pick up some of the slack and recorded his second consecutive double-double with 15 points and 10 assists against the Nuggets.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (21-33): Memphis is coming up to the trade deadline on Thursday with the future of several key players up in the air after the organization let it be known last month that veterans Mike Conley and Marc Gasol were on the market. Both veterans showed off their value in Sunday's triumph, with Conley collecting 25 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and three steals and Gasol adding 24 points and nine boards. Fellow veteran Justin Holiday, who was already traded once this season when he came over from the Chicago Bulls, added 19 points in the victory.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Grizzlies SF Kyle Anderson (shoulder) sat out the last two games and is day-to-day.

2. Timberwolves PG Jeff Teague (foot) missed the last six games and remains questionable.

3. The teams split the first two meetings - both in Minnesota.

PREDICTION: Grizzlies 95, Timberwolves 92

Raptors vs. 76ers Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

Two of the better teams in the Eastern Conference square off when the Toronto Raptors visit the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday. The Raptors are in second place in the East behind the Milwaukee Bucks while the 76ers aren't far off the pace after winning seven of their past 10 games.

Toronto dropped three of four games before rebounding with a 121-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Raptors will be looking to see All-Star forward Kawhi Leonard bounce back after he failed to reach the 20-point mark in back-to-back games - including 18 points against the Clippers. Philadelphia is opening a four-game homestand and aiming to recover from a 115-108 road loss to the Sacramento Kings. "It was one of those games where they kept throwing punches," 76ers point guard Ben Simmons told reporters. "We didn't respond the right way."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, TNT, TSN (Toronto), NBCS Philadelphia

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (38-16): All-Star point guard Kyle Lowry (back) sat out against the Clippers to once again raise concerns about his health. Lowry missed 10 of 11 games in a three-week stretch earlier this season due to an aching back and Toronto is hoping the latest issue is just a quick flare-up. Fred VanVleet started against Los Angeles and had nine points, seven assists and three steals against two turnovers in 26 minutes of action.

ABOUT THE 76ERS (34-19): All-Star center Joel Embiid registered 29 points and 17 rebounds in the loss to Sacramento for his fifth straight double-double and he is averaging 29.6 points and 16.2 rebounds during the stretch. Embiid is averaging 22.7 points and 11.3 rebounds in three games against the Raptors this season but equaled his season low of 10 points on 5-of-17 shooting in a 113-102 loss to Dec. 5. Small forward Jimmy Butler scored 29 points against the Kings after having just seven on 3-of-12 shooting two nights earlier against the Golden State Warriors.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. The Raptors won two of this season's three meetings but the 76ers rolled to a 126-101 win on Dec. 22 when the teams met in Philadelphia.

2. Philadelphia SG JJ Redick, who made at least three 3-point baskets in nine of his last 10 appearances, will return to the lineup after being held out for rest against the Kings.

3. Toronto PF Serge Ibaka has recorded a career-best six straight double-doubles, the franchise's best such streak since Chris Bosh had eight straight in 2009.

PREDICTION: 76ers 108, Raptors 105

Miami Heat vs. Portland Trail Blazers Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NBA Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Miami Heat are stumbling with losses in three straight and seven of the last 10 games to fall into the No. 8 spot in the Eastern Conference. The Heat will need to solve their problems in some tough places to play as they begin a six-game road trip by visiting the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Miami, which just dropped three straight at home, will go through Sacramento, Golden State, Denver and Dallas leading into the All-Star break before coming out of the break at Philadelphia on Feb. 21. "I don't have the exact answer; to lose three in a row at home is tough," veteran guard Dwyane Wade told reporters after a 95-88 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Saturday. "It's a lot of things. You have got to figure it out. I told the guys in the locker room it doesn't get any easier. This road trip is the toughest stretch of the season. We have to figure out a way to get out of frustration and play free of the mind." The Trail Blazers are winners of three in a row and six of seven and should be well-rested after last taking the floor in a 132-105 home drubbing of the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Portland scored at least 120 points in each of the last three games and five of the last seven.

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

ABOUT THE HEAT (24-27): Miami fell by 16 points to lowly Chicago to open the homestand on Wednesday and was rocked 118-102 by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday before falling to Indiana the next night. "You are constantly searching and digging and grinding for solutions and that's where we are right now," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters after the latest loss. "I want everybody to get away from this building (Sunday). There are always ebbs and flows of a season. We have not played well for three games. But we have a great opportunity to get our act together and game together and get comfortable again. There is no better place to do that than the road." Miami center Hassan Whiteside went 9-of-13 from the floor on Saturday but the rest of the starters were a combined 7-of-22.

ABOUT THE TRAIL BLAZERS (32-20): Portland point guard Damian Lillard will be taking the floor for the first time since being named to his fourth All-Star team on Thursday. "Damian is a special player and person," Trail Blazers president of basketball operations Neil Olshey told reporters. "Being recognized by the coaches who prepare to play against him validates what all of us in Portland have the privilege of experiencing every day as a leader in the locker room and on the court." Lillard sat out the first of the four-game homestand against Atlanta on Jan. 26 to rest a sore knee but returned against Utah on Wednesday and collected 36 points and 11 assists in 37 minutes.

BUZZER BEATERS

1. Heat SG Dion Waiters went 7-of-32 from the floor over the last four games.

2. The Trail Blazers acquired SG Rodney Hood from the Cleveland Cavaliers on Sunday in exchange for Gs Nik Stauskas, Wade Baldwin IV and two second-round draft picks.

3. Portland suffered a 120-111 loss at Miami despite 42 points from Lillard on Oct. 27.

PREDICTION: Trail Blazers 115, Heat 99

Carolina Hurricanes vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The streaky Pittsburgh Penguins answered a scintillating 10-1-0 run with losses in five of their last eight games, but a visit from the Carolina Hurricanes might provide just the impetus to get the team back on track. The Penguins bid for their 11th win in 13 outings against the Hurricanes on Tuesday when the Metropolitan Division rivals meet at PPG Paints Arena.

Captain Sidney Crosby scored a goal for the seventh time in seven outings during Saturday's 3-2 setback to Toronto to give him 13 of his team-leading 61 points in that stretch. The two-time Hart Trophy recipient had his way with Carolina in the first encounter, collecting a goal and two assists in Pittsburgh's 3-0 win on Dec. 22. The Hurricanes saw their four-game point streak (3-0-1) halted by some very familiar faces in Sunday's 4-3 setback versus Calgary, with former teammates Derek Ryan, Elias Lindholm and Noah Hanifin having a hand in all four of the Flames' goals in front of ex-Carolina bench boss Bill Peters. "I don't care. I'm just trying to win," former Flames defenseman Dougie Hamilton said about scoring against his former team.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Carolinas, AT&T SportsNet-Pittsburgh

ABOUT THE HURRICANES (25-21-6): Sebastian Aho scored in his fourth straight contest to extend both his team leading total in tallies (24) and points (60) as well as his point streak to five games (four goals, four assists). Fellow Finn Teuvo Teravainen continues to pay dividends on the five-year, $27 million contract extension he signed last month by recording his fourth multi-point performance in his last nine games on Sunday. The 24-year-old Teravainen scored and set up a goal against Calgary to boost his point total to 11 (two goals, nine assists) in that stretch.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS (28-18-6): Jake Guentzel (team-leading 26 goals) scored twice against Carolina in December to give him four goals and six points in his last three contests of the series. Fellow forward Phil Kessel has one goal and three assists in that three-game stretch to give him 15 points (five goals, 10 assists) versus the Hurricanes since he joined Pittsburgh. Matt Murray turned aside all 39 shots he faced in the first meeting against Carolina to improve to 6-2-0 with a 1.73 goals-against average and .946 save percentage in his career versus the club.

OVERTIME

1. Pittsburgh C Evgeni Malkin, who has missed the last two games with a reported hand injury, skated away from the team during Monday's practice.

2. Hurricanes G Petr Mrazek owns a 2-5-1 mark with a 3.93 goals-against average and .886 save percentage in eight career encounters versus Penguins.

3. Pittsburgh has yielded two goals or fewer in 11 of the last 12 meetings with Carolina.

Los Angeles Kings vs. New Jersey Devils Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

Kings vs. Devils Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

Two teams at or near the bottom of their respective conferences face off Tuesday as the New Jersey Devils begin a season high-tying, four-game homestand when they take on the Los Angeles Kings. The Devils have recorded 13 of their 20 victories this campaign at home but have dropped their last two at Prudential Center.

New Jersey, which is four points ahead of last-place Ottawa in the Eastern Conference, is coming off a 3-2 overtime triumph in Montreal on Saturday. Nico Hischier forged a tie in the third period and scored 1:56 into the extra session to complete his second two-goal performance of 2018-19 and second straight two-point effort. The Kings, who reside in the basement in the West, are 1-1-0 on their six-game East Coast trip after rallying for a 4-3 overtime win over the New York Rangers on Monday. Tyler Toffoli set up Adrian Kempe's second goal of the game with one minute remaining in the third period before tallying 25 seconds into the extra session as Los Angeles pulled within three points of 14th-place Chicago in the conference and eight of Vancouver for the second wild-card spot.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS West (Los Angeles), MSG Plus (New Jersey)

ABOUT THE KINGS (21-27-4): Kempe finished with three points in Monday's victory after being kept off the scoresheet in each of his previous four contests. The two-goal effort ended the 22-year-old Swede's drought at 19 games. Los Angeles could be without Jeff Carter, who is three points shy of 700 for his career, as the veteran sniper missed the third period against the Rangers due to a lower-body injury.

ABOUT THE DEVILS (20-24-7): Keith Kinkaid figures to be back in the crease after serving as the backup against the Canadiens, as he has had Los Angeles' number during his career. The 29-year-old goaltender is 4-0-0 with two shutouts, a 0.85 goals-against average and a .970 save percentage in five appearances (four starts) against the Kings - allowing a total of four goals - including three in a road victory on Dec. 6. Kyle Palmieri, who tallied twice in that win at Los Angeles, leads the team with 23 goals and needs one to match his total in 62 games last season.

OVERTIME

1. Both of Hischier's game-winning goals this season have come in overtime.

2. Los Angeles captain C Anze Kopitar has tallied in three consecutive contests and collected six points during his four-game streak.

3. New Jersey C Travis Zajac (lower body) missed Saturday's contest and is day-to-day.

Vancouver Canucks vs. Washington Capitals Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 5th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/05/2019

The Washington Capitals failed to build off a big victory after the long break and look to begin putting a baffling slump behind them when they host the improving Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. The Capitals came out of the NHLPA-mandated bye week/All-Star break to post a 4-3 win over Western Conference-leading Calgary on Friday before giving up 39 shots in a 1-0 loss to Boston two days later, falling to 1-6-2 in their last nine games.

"We started to play our game in the last period, and that's not enough," Washington defenseman Michal Kempny told reporters after his team was outshot 30-13 over the first 40 minutes. "It's as simple as that. Obviously, it's a very tough loss. We have to be better." The Capitals still are tied for second place in the Metropolitan Division and four points out of first despite their struggles as they prepare to take on a Vancouver team that occupies the second wild-card spot in the West. The Canucks recorded points in six of seven games before hitting a speed bump Monday with a 2-1 loss at Philadelphia despite registering 42 shots. Vancouver managed only an unassisted goal from Brock Boeser and lost veteran defenseman Alex Edler, who needed to be carted off when his face hit the ice hard after his stick got tangled in Flyers forward Jacob Voracek's skate late in the contest.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, Sportsnet One, Sportsnet East, Sportsnet Ontario, Sportsnet Pacific (Vancouver), NBCS Washington

ABOUT THE CANUCKS (24-23-6): Calder Trophy frontrunner Elias Pettersson also left the game in Philadelphia, but the 20-year-old center - who leads the team with 23 goals and 46 points - returned later in the contest. Bo Horvat has notched five of his 42 points in the last five contests and Boeser tied the 23-year-old center with his 18th tally on Monday, extending his point streak to five games (three goals, four assists). Coach Travis Green told reporters that Sven Baertschi (eight goals in 22 games) did not feel well when he woke up Sunday in Colorado and may return to Vancouver, but it is not a concussion issue.

ABOUT THE CAPITALS (28-18-6): Washington entered the week first in the league with 191 minor penalties while sitting 24th in penalty-killing at 77.9 percent. "I think as you get past the All-Star break and you start making a push toward the playoffs, that's an area we have to get better in, as we've taken far too many minor penalties with our sticks," first-year coach Todd Reirden told reporters. "We have to be more disciplined if we're going to have success moving forward." Captain Alex Ovechkin has scored four his league-leading 37 goals in his last three games and tops the team with 57 points - five more than Nicklas Backstrom, who has collected 39 assists.

OVERTIME

1. Washington C Lars Eller (lower body) sat out Sunday's contest and is questionable to face the Canucks.

2. Vancouver RW Jake Virtanen already has recorded a career-high 12 goals but has managed just one over his last 15 games.

3. The Capitals have won six of the previous seven meetings, including a 5-2 win in Vancouver on Oct. 22 in which Ovechkin scored twice.

Minnesota Wild vs. Buffalo Sabres Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

Hoping to use a seven-game homestand as a springboard to climb back into playoff contention, the Buffalo Sabres instead found themselves trying to regroup from another ugly loss. After being manhandled in a 7-3 setback to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night, Buffalo will hope for better success against another Central Division foe when it hosts the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night.

The Sabres have lost their way since ripping off 10 straight victories in November, which included a 3-2 win at Minnesota, but they have allowed at least four goals in six of the last eight games. "The learning experiences are far over now. We're 50-some-odd games into the season," captain Jack Eichel said. "Mistakes are costing us points, and that's points in the standings that we can't lose." Like Buffalo, the Wild are coming off consecutive losses to Dallas and Chicago and now face the prospect of playing four games in six days, including three on the road. "You'd really like to get ahead of it by winning the first game of the week and pushing forward rather than playing uphill," Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau said. "We want to get ahead and be ahead."

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS North, FS Wisconsin (Minnesota), MSG-Buffalo

ABOUT THE WILD (26-22-4): Victor Rask, acquired in a trade with Carolina last month, got off to a slow start with Minnesota and it didn't help his cause that the player he was traded for (Nino Niederreiter) amassed five goals in his first five games with the Hurricanes. Rask finally broke through with his new club and it came at an opportune time as he scored the tying goal late in the third period to force overtime against the Blackhawks. "Better and better for every game," said Rask, who played with Jordan Greenway and Marcus Foligno after Pontus Aberg was hurt. "It takes a little time, but it's just hockey. Just go out there and play."

ABOUT THE SABRES (25-20-6): Coach Phil Housley shook things up at Monday's practice, shuffling all four lines and top three defensive pairings along with both power-play units. Housley moved his previous top unit of Eichel, Jeff Skinner and Sam Reinhart to three separate lines as he seeks to find some balance throughout the lineup. "Different lines are going to be different lines, but we have to play better without the puck, and we have to defend better," said Kyle Okposo, who was paired with Eichel and Conor Sheary. "No matter what line combinations you throw out there, if you don't do that, you're not going to win many games."

OVERTIME

1. Minnesota has won five in a row and nine of 11 all-time in Buffalo.

2. Buffalo has converted 7 of 51 chances on the power play in the last 19 games.

3. The Wild recalled Fs Luke Kunin and Kyle Rau from Iowa of the American Hockey League and waived D Nate Prosser and F J.T. Brown.

New York Islanders vs. Boston Bruins Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

After finally snapping a 14-game losing streak against Washington, the Boston Bruins will face the coach who guided the Capitals to the Stanley Cup championship last season. Barry Trotz led the Capitals to division titles in each of his last three seasons and now has the New York Islanders sitting in first place in the Metropolitan as they prepare to visit the Bruins on Tuesday night.

New York rallied for three goals in the final 6:14 to notch a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday, extending its point streak to eight games (6-0-2) -- the team's longest since a 10-game run in 2014-15. "If you don't show up to work in this business you're not going to have success," Trotz said. "It's still a workman's league. You still have to put the work boots on." Boston ended its nearly five-year hex against Washington in memorable fashion with a 1-0 victory behind Tuukka Rask, who became the winningest goaltender in franchise history with No. 253. "This might be a win that gets us going and trending in the right direction," defenseman Charlie McAvoy said after the Bruins halted a three-game slide (0-1-2).

TV: 7 p.m. ET, MSG-Plus2 (New York), NESN (Boston)

ABOUT THE ISLANDERS (30-15-6): Robin Lehner was named the NHL's Second Star of the Month for January after posting a 6-1-1 record with a 1.73 goals-against average and continued his stellar play by turning aside 34 of 36 shots against the Kings to improve to 12-1-1 in his last 14 decisions. "He played awesome, again," New York defenseman Johnny Boychuk said. "He's been playing awesome all year. Both our goaltenders and they'll have to continue to do that to have success." Defenseman Ryan Pulock had a hand in the final three goals in Saturday's victory, become the first Islanders' blue-liner to collect three assists in a period since 2007.

ABOUT THE BRUINS (28-17-7): Center Patrice Bergeron, who was sidelined by injury in Boston's 2-1 shootout win over the visiting Islanders on Nov. 29, will reach a major milestone Tuesday by becoming the fifth player in franchise history to appear in 1,000 games with Boston. A four-time Selke Trophy winner as the league's top defensive forward, Bergeron also reached 30 goals for the fourth time in his career last season. "It's been special," said Bergeron, who has played all 15 seasons in Boston. "Obviously ... playing 1,000 games for the same organization is something that I'm very proud of and I think it's special. That adds to it for sure."

OVERTIME

1. The Islanders have permitted two goals or fewer in nine straight games.

2. Boston is riding a five-game point streak (4-0-1) in the series.

3. New York is 16-3-2 since Dec. 15, the best record in the league in that span.

St. Louis Blues vs. Florida Panthers Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The St. Louis Blues have returned to their tried-and-true formula of relying on Vladimir Tarasenko and a stingy defense as a means to crawl within earshot of the second wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Winners of two in a row and owners of a 6-2-1 mark in their last nine contests, the Blues bid to continue their ascent on Tuesday when they visit the Sunshine State to face the Florida Panthers.

Tarasenko collected a goal and two assists in Saturday's 4-2 victory versus sliding Columbus to boost his point total to 11 (six goals, five assists) in his past nine games. The 27-year-old Russian recorded 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in his first 10 encounters with Florida before being held off the scoresheet in St. Louis' 4-3 win on Dec. 11. That victory improved the Blues to 9-4-0 in their last 13 meetings with the Panthers, who have answered a seven-game skid (0-5-2) with four wins in their last five outings. Mike Hoffman scored his team-leading 24th goal in the third period of Saturday's 3-1 victory versus Vegas and also tallied in the previous encounter with St. Louis.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, FS Midwest (St. Louis), FS Florida

ABOUT THE BLUES (23-22-5): Tarasenko's 18 tallies are one shy of linemate Ryan O'Reilly, who scored and set up a goal versus the Blue Jackets to extend his point streak to seven games (three goals, seven assists) and bolster the optimism of the team's chances for the postseason. "You can feel it," the 27-year-old O'Reilly said. "We're making our push. I believe we're going to get in (to the playoffs). We're just going to take it one game at a time." While O'Reilly collected his 300th career assist on Saturday, Brayden Schenn set up three goals against Columbus to eclipse 200 in his career and capped St. Louis' four-goal third period by scoring with 3:55 remaining in the first meeting with the Panthers.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (21-21-8): Aleksander Barkov collected a goal and an assist versus the Golden Knights to move within one point of 50 for the season and two shy of 300 for his career. Jonathan Huberdeau notched two of his club-best 37 assists in the first match with St. Louis and has 30 (11 goals, 19 assists) of his team-leading 50 points at home this season. Evgenii Dadonov, who scored in the first contest with the Blues, had four assists in a three-game stretch before being held in check versus Vegas.

OVERTIME

1. Florida C Frank Vatrano has scored seven of his 17 goals since the calendar flipped to 2019.

2. The Blues have permitted two goals or fewer in seven of their past nine games.

3. Panthers G Roberto Luongo fell to 17-13-2 in his career versus the Blues despite making 29 saves in the previous meeting.

Vegas Golden Knights vs. Tampa Bay Lightning Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Tampa Bay Lightning readily accept that every one of them have not been pretty, but they can become the first team to reach 40 victories before anyone else gets to 35 when the Vegas Golden Knights visit Tuesday. The Lightning, who dropped back-to-back games once this season, beat the New York Islanders 1-0 in a shootout Friday before taking a three-goal lead and managing a 3-2 win over the New York Rangers 24 hours later.

"When you win a lot of games throughout the season, you're going to win in different ways and you just have to be comfortable (with that)," Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos told reporters after Saturday's win. ". ... We did hang on. That's the way it's going to be coming down the stretch and in the playoffs. You're going to have leads in the third. ... and you've got to find a way to win those. We've relied on our depth a lot this year, and that's what happens." The Lightning, who lost twice to the Golden Knights last season before pulling out a 3-2 win at Vegas on Oct. 26, could be without leading goal scorer Brayden Point (30) for a second straight game because of a lower-body injury. The Golden Knights sit solidly in playoff position in the Western Conference, but are suffering through their longest regular-season losing streak in the team's two-year history after suffering a fourth straight setback Saturday 3-1 at Florida. "Everybody has ups and downs in a season, and it's important to find a way to make it last not too long, to get out of it as quickly as possible and start over," Vegas goalie Marc-Andre-Fleury told reporters. "It's frustrating because we're not used to this."

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, TVA, AT&T Sportsnet Rocky Mountain (Vegas), FS Sun (Tampa Bay)

ABOUT THE GOLDEN KNIGHTS (29-21-4): Vegas has managed six goals during their losing streak and last season's leading scorer William Karlsson does not have a point during the swoon. Alex Tuch tops the team with 40 points, but has been kept off the scoresheet in the past two games, and fellow forward Jonathan Marchessault (team-high 17 goals, 35 points) is scoreless in the last three while remaining at 98 assists in his career. Left wing Max Pacioretty boasts four goals, pulling him within one of the team lead at 16, and three assists in his past seven contests.

ABOUT THE LIGHTNING (39-11-2): Erik Cernak was recalled because of an injury in mid-November and has made a home on the blue line since with a plus-11 rating in 31 games to go along with seven assists and his first goal Saturday. "He's played great," Stamkos told reporters. "He's maintained his focus and his confidence, so it was great to see him rewarded (with the goal)." Right wing Nikita Kucherov leads the league with 80 points and Stamkos notched four of his 28 goals in the last four games while defenseman Victor Hedman posted six of his 399 career points in the past five contests.

OVERTIME

1. Vegas C Paul Stastny boasts a career-high seven-game assist streak with eight overall during the run.

2. Tampa Bay LW Ondrej Palat is slated to play his 400th NHL game and RW Ryan Callahan is two assists from 200.

3. The Golden Knights are second in the league in hits (1,479) and the Lightning (1,317) sit seventh through Sunday.

Anaheim Ducks vs. Montreal Canadiens Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 5th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/05/2019

The Montreal Canadiens are in a better place with the help of the youngest player in the four major North American sports leagues as they host the struggling Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday. The 18-year-old Jesperi Kotkaniemi has scored in back-to-back games after Sunday's 4-3 overtime victory over Edmonton, but the third overall pick in the 2018 draft could just be getting started.

"I think he's been better and better every game that the season's been going on," teammate and fellow Finn Joel Armia told reporters about Kotkaniemi, who has recorded eight goals this season. "Every game, every practice, he's been better and better." Montreal sits third in the Atlantic Division - three points behind Toronto and one ahead of Boston - as a 6-1-1 run also has vaulted it eight points clear in the wild-card race. Anaheim continued its freefall in the Western Conference standings with a 6-1 loss at Toronto on Monday and has been outscored 15-4 in two games since returning from its NHLPA-mandated bye/All-Star break. The Ducks have lost four straight and 16 of their last 18 games (2-12-4) but are just three points behind Vancouver for the second wild-card spot while in a group of six teams within five points of the Canucks.

TV: 7:30 p.m. ET, KCOP-13 (Anaheim), TSN2, RDS (Montreal)

ABOUT THE DUCKS (21-23-9): Anaheim was reinforced by the returns of Corey Perry, Patrick Eaves and Jakob Silfverberg after the break, but the trio has combined for one assist in two games. The Ducks are last in the league in scoring at 2.283 goals per contest with Silfverberg, who missed four games prior to the break (lower body), leading the club with 12 goals. John Gibson has yielded at least five tallies in his last three games, with backup Chad Johnson relieving him each time.

ABOUT THE CANADIENS (29-18-6): Max Domi (team-high 47 points) scored his 17th goal Sunday and has registered three tallies and five assists in his last seven games. Jonathan Drouin (39 points) scored in overtime against Edmonton, giving him two goals and two assists in his last four contests. Paul Byron (10 goals) left Sunday's game in the second period with an upper-body injury and was to be re-evaluated Monday while Andrew Shaw, who has missed the last 13 contests (neck), could return Tuesday.

OVERTIME

1. Kotkaniemi has recorded all eight of his goals and 16 of his 25 points at home.

2. Montreal has killed only 6-of-10 penalties over the last three games while Anaheim is 3-for-7 in its last two contests.

3. The clubs have split the last six meetings, with the past three being decided by three or more goals, while the home team has won the last seven encounters.

The Nashville Predators have struggled at home of late, losing each of their last three contests at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville hopes to turn things around when it continues its three-game homestand Tuesday against the Arizona Coyotes.

The Predators returned to Music City after a perfect three-game road trip and dropped a 3-1 decision to Dallas on Saturday. Calle Jarnkrok scored against the Stars, giving him three tallies in 34 contests since recording a hat trick Nov. 17 versus Los Angeles. Arizona is wrapping up a six-game trek that began with a pair of victories that have been followed by three setbacks, including Monday's 5-4 loss at Dallas. Clayton Keller and Nick Cousins each set up two goals in the defeat, with the former increasing his team-leading totals to 26 assists and 37 points.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, FS Arizona, FS Tennessee (Nashville)

ABOUT THE COYOTES (23-24-5): Defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson scored against the Stars to get his name in the franchise record book. The 27-year-old Swedish captain has 109 career goals, moving him past Teppo Numminen for the most by a blue-liner in the history of the organization. Alex Galchenyuk also scored Monday, ending his five-game drought and putting him one goal away from hitting double digits for the sixth straight season.

ABOUT THE PREDATORS (31-19-4): Viktor Arvidsson leads the team with 21 goals, recording them in only 30 games, but has notched just seven assists. The 25-year-old Swede also tops the club with five game-winning tallies - one shy of the career high he set in 2016-17 and matched last season. Filip Forsberg is two goals away from reaching 20 for the fifth consecutive campaign but enters Tuesday with a seven-game drought.

OVERTIME

1. The Predators have five players with double-digit goal totals and five others that are one away from joining that group.

2. Arizona D Alex Goligoski exited Monday's game with an upper-body injury and could miss the contest versus the Predators.

3. Nashville concludes its homestand Thursday as it meets the Dallas team against which the stretch began.

PREDICTION: Predators 5, Coyotes 2

San Jose Sharks vs. Winnipeg Jets Preview and Predictions 2019-02-05

NHL Predictions 4th February 2019 by Gracenote
by Gracenote on 02/04/2019

The Winnipeg Jets have lots of momentum entering Tuesday's home matchup with the San Jose Sharks, and as if they needed another breakout offensive performer, forward Jack Roslovic provided just that last week. In his third season in the NHL, Roslovic earned NHL first star of the week honors after scoring five goals with an assist in four games - including his first career hat trick in Winnipeg's 9-3 thrashing of Anaheim on Saturday.

"Four games back after the break, I was well rested and our power play was clicking," Roslovic told reporters after Monday's practice, during which he continued to skate on the second line after playing on the bottom two lines for most of the season. "I was just the lucky product of it." The Jets have won three in a row and seven of their past nine, but the Central Division leaders expect a tough challenge from a San Jose squad that is six points behind first-place Calgary in the Pacific Division. The Sharks have won two in a row and nine of their past 12 after Saturday's 3-2 home overtime victory over Arizona, getting Brent Burns' 13th career overtime goal (tied for most in league history) in San Jose's first game after a 10-day break. "By the end, I think both teams were exhausted," Sharks forward Logan Couture told the media afterward. "It's nice to get two points."

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBCS California (San Jose), TSN3 (Winnipeg)

ABOUT THE SHARKS (30-16-7): Burns leads the Sharks with 57 points and his 47 assists rank fourth in the NHL through Sunday. Forward Joe Thornton picked up his 999th point with the Sharks, assisting on Kevin Labanc's goal Saturday, while center Joe Pavelski has six points (four assists) during his current three-game point streak. Goaltender Martin Jones made 31 saves against Arizona and is tied for second in the league with 24 wins.

ABOUT THE JETS (34-16-2): Winnipeg matched a franchise-record for goals in a game against Anaheim, racing to a franchise-record 6-0 lead after just one period. Center Bryan Little finished with two goals and one assist, giving him 14 points (seven goals) in his past 12 games while forward Blake Wheeler began the week with 54 assists, four off the league lead. Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck is tied with Jones for wins with 24 and is 3-0-0 in his past three starts.

OVERTIME

1. San Jose D Erik Karlsson missed his fourth straight game Saturday with a lower-body injury, and remains questionable for Tuesday.

2. Winnipeg D Dustin Byfuglien, sidelined since Dec. 29 with an ankle injury, practiced Monday and the Jets are hopeful he can return Tuesday.

3. The matchup features two of the top-scoring teams in the NHL through Sunday, as San Jose is third with 3.58 goals per game and the Jets sit fourth at 3.52.

PREDICTION: Jets 5, Sharks 4

Hot & Not Report

Week of February 4th

The left coast has some highly entertaining college basketball games going on in multiple conferences, and this week's piece is dedicated to that. There are some betting angles that we should be able to take advantage of later on this week in both Pac-12 and Big West action, so pack your bags and get on the highway, cause road teams are the focus here.

Who's Hot

Fading Pac-12 “weekend” road teams (not named Washington) straight up when playing two road games in the span of 3/4 days

One of the most interesting things about Pac-12 basketball betting is how the conference schedules groups of teams to play consecutive games on the road in a week, spanning from Wednesday to Sunday. Scheduling games that way means that every program has to deal with a second consecutive road game either 48 or 72 hours after a first game in hostile territory, and essentially that's what creates plenty of parity within the conference. Winning on the road is extremely tough for any college basketball program across the nation, but give schools consecutive road games to deal with in such a short span every other week, and the results are rather predictable.

Simply put, each of the conference's 12 teams have already had two separate occasions where they've had to play two straight on the road in short order (i.e. two games from a Wednesday to Sunday, Thursday/Sat etc). That's 24 happenings overall throughout the conference, and of those 24 occurrences, the road team has only swept the weekend road trip five times. Eliminate the perfect Washington Huskies from that equation, and Pac-12 road teams have only swept their weekend series three out of 22 tries.

Conversely, these road teams have been swept (lost both games SU) on their weekend road trip nine times during those 24 opportunities, with Washington State an California going a perfect 0-4 SU in their two chances respectively.

Three teams – Arizona State, UCLA, and Oregon – have established the same pattern in both of their weekend road trips, winning SU in the first game, and following that up with a loss in the 2nd game on the Saturday/Sunday. Utah is the only other school that's followed that pattern at least once as well, while USC, Stanford, and Colorado have each had one occurrence where they've lost the weekday road game and managed to bounce back with a SU win over the weekend.

Now chances are we see 1st place Washington fall victim to this tough scheduling scenario sooner than later, and this weekend they've got trips to Arizona, and Arizona State on Thursday and Saturday respectively. This might be the week to look at adding a wager against the Washington Huskies in there, but there are five other teams in that same boat this week as well.

Those teams are Washington State (at Arizona State, at Arizona), California (at Oregon, at Oregon State), Colorado (at UCLA, at USC), Stanford (at Oregon State, at Oregon), and Utah (at USC, at UCLA). Those five programs currently reside in five of the last six spots in the Pac-12 standings, so fading them outright on the ML may be quite chalky, but this is a trend that probably won't go away for the entire league for the rest of conference play this season.

So if any one of these five teams – and even Washington this week – win outright in that first road game on Wed/Thursday, you'd better be prepared to look the other way in their second game on the weekend. That's because recent history suggests that these Pac-12 programs rarely return home after a perfect weekend road trip, and if you don't believe they've got a shot at an outright win, backing them ATS can be difficult to stomach.

Who's Not

Fading road teams in “mainland USA” games in Big West Conference play – 10-17 ATS

Home court/field advantage arguably means more in college basketball than any other major sport in this country, and yet, if you're a basketball team in the Big West this year that isn't Hawaii, you aren't covering too many spreads at home in conference play. Hawaii's got a 4-1 ATS mark at home in Big West play so far, but all the other eight teams in the Big West Conference enter this week with a combined 10-17 ATS home record.

Looking at the overall standings in the Big West, it's become clear that UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara are the class of the conference at 19-5 and 16-5 SU respectively, but in conference home games, those two programs are a combined 1-5 ATS so far. Throw 3rd place Cal State Fullerton into the mix, and the top three teams in this conference are sitting on a 2-8 ATS mark at home against their rivals this year.

The poor home ATS numbers for those teams are likely more to do with some chalky spreads attached to their name that they can't quite cover, as those three are a combined 7-3 SU at home in Big West play. Going forward, it will be interesting to see if the point spreads start to get shaded down a notch and the results start to flip.

I say that because with more than half of the conference (5 of 9 teams) having just a single SU road win on the entire season, road teams covering spreads in conference play at a 63% clip is quite astonishing. Those five teams with a single SU road win this year – Hawaii, UC Davis, Long Beach State, UC Riverside, and Cal Poly Slo – are a combined 9-6 ATS in mainland conference road games, once again proving that the point spread is still the great equalizer in this business.

So if you are looking at Big West games later in the week – starting on Wednesday - have an eye to backing home teams.

Tuesday's SEC Tips
Brian Edwards

Let’s get you updated on SEC hoops, something that finally exists again after a decade in the toilet -- outside of Florida and Kentucky – but is back on the map nationally the last two years.

Tennessee’s dream season continues and the Volunteers are now alone at the top of the conference standings after Arkansas went into Baton Rouge and handed LSU its first SEC defeat. Rick Barnes’s team (12-7 against the spread) is 20-1 and perfect through eight league contests.

UT will take a 16-game winning streak into tonight’s showdown vs. Missouri. As of early this morning, most books had the Vols installed as a 17-point home favorites against the Tigers, who are 1-4 both straight up and ATS. Tennessee is undefeated in 12 home games with a 5-5-1 spread ledger.

Since needing overtime win at Vanderbilt on Jan. 23, UT has covered the number in three straight games. The Vols downed West Virginia 83-66 before winning 92-70 at South Carolina and 93-76 at Texas A&M. Grant Williams torched the Aggies for 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting from the field. He also had 10 rebounds, four assists, two blocked shots and one steal.

Jordan Bone produced 18 points and five rebounds with a 10/2 assist-to-turnover ratio. Bone buried all of seven of his FGAs and went 4-of-4 from beyond the arc. Lamont Turner added 19 points, three steals, two boards and seven assists compared to merely one turnover.

This game marks Cuonzo Martin’s return to Thompson-Boling Arena for the first time since serving as UT’s head coach by replacing the ultra-popular Bruce Pearl, who was forced out by former AD Mike Hamilton after misleading the NCAA during an investigation into the school’s basketball program. Martin led the Vols to the Sweet 16 in the final season of his three-year tenure, but left Knoxville to take the head-coaching job at Cal before eventually exiting for Mizzou.

Missouri (11-9 SU, 8-11-1 ATS) is 2-6 in SEC play after losing its best player, Jontay Porter, to a season-ending ACL tear in October. Mark Smith, the Tigers’ second-leading scorer (12.6 points per game, 5.5 RPG), has missed three games in a row (sprained ankle) since scoring 22 points and seven rebounds in a Jan. 23 loss at Arkansas. Smith is ‘questionable’ tonight vs. UT. Missouri is mired in a 2-6 ATS slump.

This game will tip at 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN2.

As of early this morning, most books had Auburn (15-6 SU, 10-9 ATS) listed as a 7.5-point favorite for tonight’s home game vs. Florida. The total was 137.5 points.

Pearl’s team is 11-1 SU and 7-4 ATS at home following Saturday’s 84-63 win over Alabama as a 10-point ‘chalk.’ A 6-0 ‘over’ run for the Tigers came to a halt when the 147 combined points slithered ‘under’ the 152-point tally. Bryce Brown led the winners with 23 points on 5-of-7 shooting from 3-point range.

UF saw its three-game SEC winning streak snapped Saturday when it allowed an 11-point second-half lead to get away in a 65-54 loss to Kentucky as a four-point home underdog. The 119 combined points fell ‘under’ the 132-point total. The Gators led 42-31 with 13 minutes left, only to score only six points in the next 11-pluls minutes.

UK’s Tyler Herro scored a game-high 19 points by burying 6-of-8 field-goal attempts, 3-of-4 shots from 3-point territory and all four of his FTAs. P.J. Washington added 15 points and 12 rebounds.

UF’s Andrew Nembhard scored 12 points and had three assists and two steals. KeVaughn Allen and Jalen Hudson scored 11 points apiece for the Gators, who are 2-3 SU and 3-2 ATS in five road assignments.

Florida has failed to cover the spread in four consecutive games. UF is winless SU and 1-5 ATS in six games as an underdog this year. This is the Gators’ richest spot as underdogs.

Florida has an 11-game winning streak over Auburn and has won 21 of the last 22 head-to-head meetings. AU’s last win over UF came at the 2009 SEC Tournament.

The ‘under’ is 13-8 overall for Florida, 4-1 in its five road games. Going back further, the ‘under’ has cashed at a 12-2 clip in the Gators’ past 14 road contests. The ‘over’ is on a 6-1 run for Auburn to improve to 12-8 overall and 7-4 in its home outings.

Tip-off on ESPNU is scheduled for 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

Kentucky (18-3 SU, 12-9 ATS) returns home to Rupp Arena tonight to face South Carolina as a 16-point favorite. The total was 146.5 points as of early this morning. The SEC Network will have the telecast at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.

Since losing its league opener at Alabama, John Calipari’s club has won eight games in a row and covered the spread in six straight. However, the Wildcats are 4-6 ATS as double-digit ‘chalk’ and 0-2 ATS in a pair of such spots against SEC competition.

UK and LSU are tied for the second place in the SEC with identical 7-1 conference records. South Carolina (11-10 SU, 8-12 ATS) is in fourth place with a 6-2 mark in SEC action.

Frank Martin’s team went into Athens on Saturday and beat Georgia by an 86-80 count as a 2.5-point road underdog. The ‘over’ (149) was an easy winner to hit in a fifth straight USC game. The ‘over’ is on a 9-1 run for the Gamecocks, who have seen the ‘over’ go 15-4 overall and 5-2 in their road games.

Chris Silva scored 19 points and grabbed six rebounds at UGA. A.J. Lawson finished with 19 points and seven boards, while Hassani Gravett and Keyshawn Bryant were also in double figures with 13 and 11 points, respectively.

South Carolina is 3-4 SU and 4-3 ATS in seven road assignments. The Gamecocks are 6-6 ATS with five outright wins in 12 games as underdogs. They’re 2-0 ATS in a pair of games as double-digit underdogs, winning outright at UF as 11-point ‘dogs and losing 89-78 at Michigan as 17-point puppies.

UK had won four in a row both SU and ATS over South Carolina into going to Columbia last year. That’s when the Gamecocks beat the ‘Cats 76-68 as one-point home underdogs. The ‘over’ hit for the third straight time in this rivalry. In fact, the ‘over’ is 22-10 in the past 32 UK-USC meetings and 10-4 in the last 14 times they’ve collided at Rupp.

Another SEC game on tap tonight is Vanderbilt at Arkansas. The Razorbacks were eight-point home favorites this morning with the total at 147.5. The SEC Network will provide television coverage at 9:00 p.m. Eastern.

Arkansas is in a six-way tie for fifth place in the SEC standings. Mike Anderson’s team shared as 4-4 league record along with Alabama, Florida, Auburn, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Meanwhile, Vandy is the only team still looking for its first SEC win with a 0-8 conference record.

Arkansas (13-8 SU, 11-10 ATS) has won back-to-back games and three of its last four while going 4-0 ATS. The Razorbacks won 90-89 at LSU as 10-point underdogs Saturday night at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. Daniel Gafford led the way with 23 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots. Isaiah Joe added 18 points and Keyshawn Embery-Simpson had 16 points in 22 minutes off the bench.

Vandy is 2-7 ATS during its current nine-game losing streak. Six of its nine losses have come by double-digit margins and seven have come by at least nine points. The Commodores lost 77-66 at Missouri on Saturday night despite Smith’s absence for the Tigers.

The ‘under’ is 15-6 overall for the Hogs, 10-3 in their home games. However, the ‘over’ has cashed in four consecutive Vandy games.

Arkansas is 6-1 both SU and ATS in its last seven games against Vandy. The ‘under’ has prevailed in the past four games of this rivalry.

**B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

-- Penn State ended its eight-game losing streak last night by winning 59-52 at Northwestern as a 3.5-point road underdog, hooking up money-line supporters with a +145 return (paid $145 on $100 wagers). The 111 combined points dropped ‘under’ the 131.5-point total. Lamar Stevens led PSU with 18 points, seven rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots.

-- Louisville was a live underdog last night, too, capturing a 72-64 win at Va. Tech as a five-point underdog. Gamblers on U of L to win outright cashed a +180 money-line ticket. The 136 combined points inched ‘over’ the 135-point total. Ryan McMahon scored 17 points in 16 minutes of playing time from off the bench. McMahon drained 4-of-5 launches from downtown and all five of his FTAs.

-- Kansas State (16-5 SU, 11-10 ATS) was favored by two early this morning for tonight’s home game vs. Kansas. The total was 130 points. The Wildcats have won six straight conference games with a non-conference loss at Texas A&M on Jan. 26. They bounced back from the loss to the Aggies and avoided the look-ahead situation in Saturday’s 75-57 win at Oklahoma State. as 2.5-point road favorites. The ‘under’ is 14-7 overall for KSU, 9-1 in its home games. Bruce Weber’s bunch is 9-1 SU but just 3-7 ATS at home. Kansas is an abysmal 1-5 both SU and ATS in six road assignments. KU had failed to cover the spread in five straight games until beating Texas Tech 79-63 on Saturday as a 4.5-point home ‘chalk.’ Marcus Garrett (7.2 PPG, 3.6 RPG & 2.4 APG) is ‘questionable’ at KSU (ankle). The Jayhawks have won eight in a row over K-State while going 5-2-1 ATS. The ‘under’ is 3-1 in the past four head-to-head meetings. Tip-off is slated for 9:00 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

-- As of early this morning, Syracuse was a 2.5 or three-point home favorite for tonight’s home game vs. FSU on the ACC Network at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. The Orange is 9-2 both SU and ATS in its last 11 games. The Seminoles are 2-3 SU and 1-4 ATS in five road outings. They’ve bounced back from a three-game losing streak to win three in a row and improve to 4-4 in ACC action.

Top 25 Betting Recap
Joe Williams

Each week until March Madness we'll take a look at how the Top 25 fared from college basketball, but straight up and against the number, while also taking a look at their upcoming schedule.

North Carolina State (16-6 SU, 13-9 ATS) had a difficult week, and it wrapped up with one of the most ugly performances in recent memory. The Wolfpack actually hung with Virginia (20-1 SU, 16-5 ATS), falling 66-65 in overtime at PNC Arena in Raleigh. Perhaps the emotional letdown was too much for the young Wolfpack, as they absolutely laid an egg against Virginia Tech (18-3 SU, 12-8 ATS) on Saturday. The Hokies do rank sixth in the nation, allowing just 60.2 points per game (PPG), and that likely bumped up even further after the took care of the Wolfpack by a 47-24 score which resembled more of a football score than today's era of high-scoring basketball. The Pack scored just 14 points in the first half, and 10 in the second, hitting just 9-of-54 (16.7 percent) from the field to set a new school low. It was also the lowest point total in the shot-clock era, which dates back to 1985-86.

Buffalo (19-3 SU, 13-7-1 ATS) had been in the Top 25 rankings for a good chunk of the season, but the Bulls are likely to fall out of the rankings. In fact, they're not even in first place in the East Division of the Mid-American Conference. That's because the Bulls lost a crucial battle for first place against Bowling Green (15-6 SU, 13-6 ATS) to fall a half-game back of the Falcons. The Bulls are now 2-2 SU over the past four games, and 2-4 ATS across the past six outings.

Kansas State (16-5 SU, 11-10 ATS) and Baylor (15-6 SU, 14-7 ATS) currently sit atop the Big 12 Conference at 6-2, a half-game ahead of Iowa State (17-5 SU, 13-7-2 ATS) and Kansas (17-5 SU, 9-13 ATS), and one and a half games ahead of Texas Tech (17-5 SU, 7-14-1 ATS). Like football, these teams continue to beat on each other and it might cost them heading into March Madness. However, while the team is not currently projected to have anyone on the one-line, they might have several high seeds which will head into March battle tested. Kansas is on a major slide, going 2-3 SU and just 1-5 ATS over the past six outings. They'll look to turn things around against rival K-State. The Wildcats are a solid 5-1 ATS over the past six contests.

North Carolina (17-4 SU, 13-6-2 ATS) avenged a loss a couple of weeks ago against Louisville (16-6 SU, 12-8-2 ATS), beating the Cardinals at the KFC Yum! Center by a 79-69 score as 1 1/2-point favorites. Since that wake-up call from the Cards on Jan. 12, the Tar Heels have won five in a row and they have covered four straight. Total bettors have liked the Heels for their 'under' results, too, as the total has gone under in 9-2 across the past 11 outings. For the Cardinals, the loss snapped a six-game win streak and a four-game cover streak.

Tennessee (20-1 SU, 12-7-1 ATS) will likely remain atop the rankings at No. 1 after doing nothing to hurt their standing. They won two road games this past week, and the Vols have covered three in a row, and eight of the past 10. Gonzaga (21-2 SU, 16-7 ATS), a team Tennessee beat back on Dec. 9, has won 12 in a row since mid-December, and they're 9-3 ATS during the span. The 'under' is also a frequent happening for the Zags, hitting in nine of the past 12, too.

Auburn (15-6 SU, 10-9-1 ATS) could be poised for a return to the Top 25 after beating Missouri (11-9 SU, 8-11-1 ATS) and rival Alabama (13-8 SU, 9-11-1 ATS) by a combined 55 points to cover double-digit spreads in both instances. The 'under' ended up cashing in Saturday's game against 'Bama, snapping a six-game 'over' run. Washington (18-4 SU, 13-8-1 ATS) continues to sit atop the Pac-12, and they're likely set to make a return to the rankings this week, too. The Huskies have also covered nine in a row, while the 'under' is 4-1 over the past five, so they're a friend to bettors for sure.

Tuesday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Raptors at 76ers – 8:05 PM EST

These two Atlantic division foes are in the mix to represent the Eastern Conference in the NBA Finals along with Milwaukee and Boston. The Raptors (38-16 SU, 24-30 ATS) sit atop the Atlantic as they are coming off a 121-103 home victory over the Clippers on Super Bowl Sunday. Toronto dropped 42 second quarter points to open up a 14-point halftime lead, while Kawhi Leonard led the Raptors with 18 points to help Toronto improve to 22-5 at home.

The 76ers (34-19 SU, 25-28 ATS) return home from a 2-2 west coast swing, with the major highlight coming last Thursday as Philadelphia snapped Golden State’s 11-game winning streak, 113-104 as eight-point underdogs. However, Philadelphia’s trip ended on a sour note as the Sixers were tripped up at Sacramento on Saturday, 115-108 as three-point favorites. Jimmy Butler and Joel Embiid each scored 29 points for Philadelphia, but Ben Simmons was the only other 76er to post double-figures (22 points) as the Sixers cashed their fifth UNDER in the past six road games.

The home team has dominated the series this season as all three wins have come by double-digits. Toronto ripped Philadelphia, 129-112 in late October behind Leonard’s 31 points, while the Raptors topped the 76ers by 11 in December. Three weeks later, the 76ers broke through with a 126-101 blowout at Wells Fargo Center as Leonard sat out on the second end of a back-to-back set. The Raptors have struggled as an underdog recently by posting a 1-5 SU and 2-4 ATS mark when receiving points since winning at Golden State in mid-December.

Lighten the Load

After taking Saturday night’s loss off to the Warriors due to “load maintenance,” LeBron James is expected to return to the Lakers’ (27-26 SU, 23-28-2 ATS) lineup tonight as they continue a six-game road trip at Indiana. James was a late scratch in Saturday’s primetime showdown with the defending champions as the Lakers barely covered as 14 ½-point underdogs in a 115-101 setback at Golden State. James is suiting up for his game outside of California since December 18 at Brooklyn, as the Lakers own an impressive 7-2 ATS mark in their last nine road games.

The Pacers (34-19 SU, 26-27 ATS) began their four-game road trip with a pair of losses at Washington and Orlando, but ended on a solid note by winning at Miami and New Orleans. Indiana withstood a late Pelicans’ rally on Monday, but held on for a 109-107 win as 3 ½-point favorites. Darren Collison paced Indiana with 22 points, but the Pacers slipped to 1-6 ATS the last seven games overall.

Indiana won and covered in its first three opportunities as a home underdog this season before getting humbled by Golden State as seven-point ‘dogs, 132-100 in late January. The Lakers jumped out to a 23-point lead against the Pacers earlier this season at Staples Center, as L.A. held off Indiana, 104-96 to cash as five-point favorites in November. The Pacers have captured each of the past five home matchups with the Lakers since 2014, while Indiana owns a 4-1 ATS mark in this span.

Heat Wrecked

Home is not where the heart is for the Heat (24-27 SU, 26-25 ATS), who dropped all three games at American Airlines Arena last week. Two losses came by double-digits to Chicago and Oklahoma City, while falling to Indiana, 95-88 on Saturday to fall to 0-4 SU/ATS the last four home contests. Miami embarks on a six-game road swing that starts in Portland as the Heat outlasted the Blazers at the AAA in late October, 120-111 to end a five-game skid in the series.

The Blazers (32-20 SU, 29-23 ATS) extended their home winning streak to eight games in a 132-105 blowout of the Jazz last Wednesday. However, Portland hasn’t played in six days as the Blazers try to avoid a look-ahead spot with the Spurs invading the Moda Center on Thursday. The Blazers have won 10 consecutive home games against Eastern Conference opponents since losing to the Wizards in overtime in October.

Home Buzz

The Hornets (26-26 SU, 27-25 ATS) are looking to bust above the .500 mark for the first time since December 21 as Charlotte is the leader of the Southeast division heading into tonight’s action. Since a 1-5 start to begin 2019, the Hornets have buzzed back by winning seven of 10 games, including all five games at Spectrum Center. Granted, four of the five victories have come against teams with losing records, but the Hornets own the fifth-most home wins in the Eastern Conference with 19, while posting a 7-1 ATS record in their last eight home contests as a single-digit favorite.

The Clippers (29-25 SU, 29-25 ATS) erased a 25-point deficit in Saturday’s epic comeback triumph at Detroit, but fell short the next afternoon in an 18-point setback at Toronto. Los Angeles continues its six-game trip tonight in Charlotte looking to pull off the season sweep of the Hornets. The Clippers slammed the Hornets, 128-109 in early January to cash as 6 ½-point favorites, while L.A. improved to 8-1 in the past nine meetings with Charlotte since 2014.

Magic Traction

Eight times this season, Orlando (22-31 SU, 27-25-1 ATS) has won consecutive games. However, the Magic have picked up three straight wins only once, as Orlando tries to accomplish that feat again after beating Indiana and Brooklyn at home. The opening loss on their homestand came to Oklahoma City last Tuesday, 126-117 as Paul George scored 31 of his 37 points in the opening half.

The Thunder (33-19 SU, 29-23 ATS) saw their seven-game winning streak end in Sunday’s 134-129 defeat at Boston as 3 ½-point underdogs. OKC cashed the OVER for the sixth time in the last seven games, while George continued his red-hot scoring season by putting up 37 points. Since getting tripped up by Washington and Minnesota at home as heavy favorites in early January, the Thunder have won four of their past five at Chesapeake Energy Arena.

Orlando has covered in each of its past four visits to Oklahoma City, while not losing by more than seven points in three of those losses. Since going on an 0-7 ATS run as a road underdog from December 10 through January 9, the Magic has cashed in their last three in this role, including as an 8 ½-point ‘dog at Houston in a 103-98 setback on January 27.

NBA | Lakers vs Pacers
Play on: Lakers -3 -109 at GTBets

10* FREE NBA PICK (Lakers -3)
I'll take my chances here with the Lakers as a small road favorite against the Pacers. LeBron James was a late scratch against the Warriors on Saturday, but is expected back in the lineup tonight. With James on the floor, I just don't see Los Angeles losing this game. The Pacers have followed up their 4-game losing streak with back-to-back wins, but are clearly not the same team without Victor Oladipo. This is also a really bad scheduling spot for Indiana, who will not only being playing on no rest after playing at New Orleans last night, but this is their 3rd game in the last 4 days and 5th in the last 7 days. The only thing keeping this from being a premium play is the chance that LA is able to get a deal done for Anthony Davis, which would leave them absolutely depleted in terms of depth with all the guys they are giving up. Even then, I still think LeBron can shoulder the load and carry whoever is on the floor with him to a win. Give me the Lakers -3!

Dave’s Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Charlotte Hornets -3.5
The Key: The Charlotte Hornets are now 19-8 at home this season. They are fully healthy and playing some great hoops of late. They are 7-3 SU & 6-3-1 ATS in their last 10 games overall. The Hornets have been real impressive at home lately, going 9-1 SU in their last 10 home games. Charlotte is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 against Western Conference teams. The Clippers are 1-3 SU & 1-3 ATS in their last 4 games with an 18-point loss at Toronto and an upset home loss to Toronto mixed in. Take Charlotte.

Play on: Golden Knights +135 at BMaker

ASA PLAY ON Free Pick: Vegas at Tampa Bay, Tuesday @ 7:35 PM ET

We have seen this type of value situation many times in the past work out very well and we won't pass up on the opportunity here. The Golden Knights are the defending Western Conference Champions but have hit a rare tough patch on the ice as they've lost 4 straight games. Now they get the chance to take on this season's top team in the standings. Of course square bettors and public bettors will be backing the Lightning here. After all, Tampa Bay is on home ice and Vegas has struggled recently. However, you can see where the sharp money is on this game. This money line opened up as high as a -180 but is now down to as low as a -145 even though the higher percentage of bets have come in on the Bolts in this one. What does that tell you? Of course it is evidence that the bigger bets and the sharper money flows are with the road dog in this one. Our sources in Vegas (follow the Golden Knights very closely) say that the players are chomping at the bit for this opportunity. The Knights suffered a home loss to the Lightning earlier this season despite a 31 to 23 edge in shots on goal. Vegas did a good job of limiting Tampa Bay's opportunities in that game but came up just short in a 3-2 final. The Golden Knights do it again here and, just like their last trip to Tampa (a 4-1 win), Vegas gets the convincing win here as a sizable underdog! Great value spot. Free Pick: Vegas Golden Knights in early evening action Tuesday

Play on: Syracuse -2 -108 at pinnacle

1* Free NCAAB Pick on Syracuse Orange -2
This is just too good a price to pass up on the Orange at home. Syracuse is 11-3 at home this season, have started out 7-2 in ACC play and come in having gone 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games. Backing the Orange at home inside conference action has been a wise investment. Syracuse is 15-6 ATS last 3 seasons at home in ACC play.
Florida State comes in having won 3 straight and are ranked No. 22 in the country. However, they have beat Clemson and Georgia Tech at home and won at Miami. All of which currently have losing marks in the ACC. Seminoles are only scoring 69.5 ppg and shooting 41.3% from the field since conference play started. Syracuse only gives up 58.2 ppg at home and are holding opponents in ACC action to a mere 39.6% from the field.
Florida State is 7-18 ATS last 25 conference road games, 25-45 last 70 road games after 3 or more consecutive wins and 2-10 ATS last 12 on the road off a conference home win. Take Syracuse!

My money is on the Red Storm to cash in an easy cover here as a decently priced road dog agains the Golden Eagles. I think we are getting value here with St. John's due to the fact that they are coming off a blowout loss to Duke and have gone just 2-5 in their last 7. Marquette is also way overvalued right now. The Golden Eagles have won 8 straight and covered 5 in a row, including a 18-point win at Butler last time out. Bet St. John's

Play on: UNDER 232 -115

Take Under the Total in the game between the Toronto Raptors and the Philadelphia 76ers. Toronto (38-16) looks to build off their 121-103 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. The Raptors have played 4 straight games Under the Total after a straight-up win. Toronto has also played 5 of their last 7 games Under the Total after allowing at least 100 points in their last contest. Philadelphia (34-19) looks to rebound from a 115-108 loss at Sacramento on Saturday. The 76ers gave played 5 of their last 6 home games Under the Total after a straight-up loss. Philadelphia has also played 5 of their last 7 home games Under the Total against teams with a winning record on the road. Take the Under. Best of luck — Frank.

The Memphis Grizzlies want to avenge their two-point overtime loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on the road on January 30th. Well, they don’t have to wait long to get their revenge. They host the Timberwolves tonight and with the way they are playing of late, they should be able to get the job done. The Grizzlies are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games overall. The Timberwolves are banged up right now without their three best guards in Derrick Rose, Jeff Teague and Tyus Jones. They are also missing Robert Covington. The Timberwolves are 0-3 ATS in their last three games overall. The Grizzlies are 35-12 ATS in their last 37 home games off a road win by 10 points or more. The Timberwolves are 0-5 ATS in their last five games on two days’ rest. Memphis is 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings. Give me the Grizzlies.

NBA | Raptors vs 76ers
Play on: 76ers -4½ -107 at pinnacle

My 1* Free Play is is on the Philadelphia 76ers (8:05 EST).
The Raptors didn’t play star guard Kyle Lowry in their most recent home win over the Clippers and he’s likely to sit out here as well. Toronto is 38-16 this year and the All Star game is now less than two weeks away.
The 76ers won’t be taking anything for granted here. After back-to-back wins over the Warriors and Lakers, Philadelphia comes into this one off a loss to the Kings on the road. Jimmy Butler was a bright spot in the losing cause with 29 points, seven assists, four boards and two steals.
Note as well that Philadelphia is 6-2 ATS in its last eight following a straight up loss and 8-3 ATS in its last 11 following an ATS loss.
Conversely note that Toronto is 4-9 ATS in its last 13 after an ATS win and only 3-7 ATS in its last ten following a SU win or more than ten points.
Consider the 76ers on Tuesday night.
Good luck…Larry

NBA | Raptors vs 76ers
Play on: 76ers -2½ -109 at GTBets

Jack’s Free Pick Tuesday: Philadelphia 76ers -2.5
The Philadelphia 76ers are rested and ready to go tonight. They come in on two days’ rest and will be highly motivated for a victory against division rival Toronto, who they trail by 3.5 games for first place in the Atlantic Division.
Adding to their motivation is the fact that they’ve lost two out of three meetings with the Raptors thus far this season. The home team won all three meetings, a trend that has stayed true in this series. Indeed, the home team is now 8-1 SU & 7-2 ATS in the last nine meetings. The 76ers won 126-101 over Toronto in their lone home meetings this season.
Philadelphia has been one of the best home teams in the NBA this year. It is 21-5 SU at home this season, outscoring opponents by 10.1 points per game on average. Toronto is just 2-10 ATS in its last 12 road games.
The 76ers are 25-11 ATS in their last 36 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. Philadelphia is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games following an ATS loss. Toronto is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. The favorite is 20-6 ATS in the last 26 meetings. The home team is 5-0 ATS in the last five meetings. Bet the 76ers Tuesday.

Dayton/St. Louis UNDER the total
Interesting, Dayton visits St. Louis on the ebb of a four game winning streak, while home standing STL is coming off a loss their 4th straight. Teams going in opposite directions, but let's forget the obvious and go on the board with an UNDER move. The series shows a 6-of-8 UNDER history. The Flyers board 4-0 UNDER L4 and 4-0 UNDER against the A-10. Also, they are 4-1 UNDER off a SU win. Suffering Looie looks to bounce back, but no matter we feel a lower scoring encounter as they are 15-3 UNDER at home and 12-4 UNDER in Tuesday editions. With St. Louis 5-1 UNDER L6 versus winning basketball teams....LOW!

NBA | Heat vs Blazers
Play on: Blazers -7 -101 at pinnacle

Entering Tuesday night's matchup with the Heat in Portland, the Blazers have won three games in a row and six of their last seven and are off a DD blowout win 132-105 vs Utah 5 days ago and are on fresh legs after being off for so long. Note: PORTLAND is 8-0 ATS after a blowout win by 15 points or more this season and is a perfect 8-0 ATS in home games after scoring 110 points or more 3 straight games over the last 2 seasons and is riding an eight-game home win streak and stands in fourth place in the Western Conference. Meanwhile,Miami a team constantly battling injury woes, comes to Portland with a three-game losing streak and off a home loss to Indiana by a 95-88 score. Note: Portland has lost their L/17 straight games after facing the Pacers. Overall the Heat have been lethargic offensively scoring 99 points or less in 8 of their L/14. With that said, you have have to be able to score consistently against teams like Portland, and with the Heat not showing enough consistency with their performance output , their chances here tonight vs an explosive side that does their best work at home is below average on a value scale. Miami did beat Portland at home earlier this season when they were healthy but with payback on board and the heat limping Im recommending we back the Blazers to cover in this spot.
PORTLAND is 15-4 ATS in home games versus poor foul drawing teams - attempting 24 or less free throws/game - 2nd half of the season over the last 2 seasons.
Play on Portland to cover
