OTTAWA -½ +126 over Chicago Pinnacle
The Blackhawks have firepower. That's not their problem. Their problem is weak goaltending and a defense that gives up far too many quality scoring chances. That was evident again in their last game when Chicago had to rally from 3-1 down to beat the Maple Leafs. They took a 4-3 lead and were very fortunate to not allow the tying goal. That win was the Blackhawks’ first in four games. Now they'll take their 12-17-3 road record into Ottawa to face the relentless and talented Senators. The Sens have scored five goals or more in four of their past six. They've picked up points in eight of nine (7-1-1) and not only are they winning, they're doing it decisively. Chicago has played here once since 2007. They play Detroit at the Joe on Sunday afternoon and that's a game that definitely has its attention. In terms of current form, goaltending and desire, this one points in one direction only. Play: Ottawa -½ +126 (Risking 2 units).

New Jersey +120 over WASHINGTON Pinnacle
The Devils are enduring a rare slump right now that has them losing four straight, including an OT loss last night in Boston. We’ve expressed this ad nauseam but the fact remains that their biggest liability is between the pipes in the form of Martin Brodeur. A look at the Devils four game losing streak shows them outshooting Vancouver 31-16 and losing. In a subsequent pair, they allowed 15 and 16 shots on net to the Lightning and Rangers and lost both contests. Last night, they outshot Boston 31-25 and lost 4-3. When you allow an average of 18 shots on net, you're not supposed to lose four games in a row. The Devils have Adam Larsson back and they picked up Marek Zidlicky at the deadline. Despite losing, New Jersey is playing sound defense and tonight they'll turn the goaltending reigns over to Johan Hedberg. That works for us as Brodeur can use a rest and we get the better team taking back a tag. Play: New Jersey +120 (Risking 2 units).

Los Angeles Clippers vs. Phoenix Suns
A Pacific Division rivalry closes out ESPNs Friday night double-header when CP3 and the Los Angeles Clippers (20-12, 17-15 ATS) invade the desert to battle Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns (14-20, 14-20 ATS); tip-off from the US Airways Center is scheduled for 10:30 ET.

Though the Clippers closed out the first half of their regular season campaign with a 103-95 home win and non-cover against the Denver Nuggets, the triumph was only the teams first in its last four tries. After dropping its first game post All Star break against Kevin Love and the Minnesota Timberwolves, Lob City will stroll into Sacramento on Thursday night losers in each of their last four against the closing pointspread. This recent correction in their overall body of work now only has them a half-game ahead of the Lakers atop the Pacific Division standings. For Head coach Vinny Del Negros squad to be taken seriously as a viable contender out West, the team must start showing a penchant for being readily able to win away from the Staples Center. Of the Clippers 20 overall wins, 12 have come as a host, and the team checks in just 12-9 SU against the Top 16 teams in the Sagarin Ratings. That said; LA has been excellent for its backers on no rest to date going 6-2 both SU & ATS!

Its safe to say that the Phoenix Suns are going nowhere for the second year in a row. After winning 54 games and taking the Lakers to Game 6 of the Western Conference Finals back in 2010, the squad put forth a sub .500 overall record a year ago and looks to be well on its way towards doing so once again managing just 14 wins in 34 tries heading into Thursday nights home clash with the Timberwolves. On top of that, Head Coach Alvin Gentrys squad possesses 7-9 SU & 6-10 ATS records as a host and checks in as the 22nd ranked team on the Sagarin ratings. Phoenix has gone just 3-10 SU against the Top 10 teams on that list, and also sits under .500 when dogged by the oddsmakers with an 11-13 overall record. Tonights match-up will mark the eleventh time the Suns will have played on no rest; theyre 5-5 SU & ATS in the previous 10 instances getting outscored 98.0-97.0 in those contests.

These rivals have yet to square off against one another this season; theyre scheduled to do so three times in the month of March before closing the regular season series out in late April - Phoenix won three of these teams four overall clashes a year ago. The favorite has covered five of these teams L/7 meetings, but LA checks in just 3-7 ATS the L/10 times it opposed a divisional opponent. The Suns are 5-0 SU & 4-1 ATS the L/5 times it hosted the Clippers, but theyre just 2-8 ATS the L/10 times they opposed a +.500 adversary. The over is 9-3 in these divisional foes L/12 overall confrontations, and has cashed five of the L/6 times these teams went at it in the desert.

WUNDERDOG
NBA 110-92 Season-to-Date +$1930
Game: Memphis at Toronto (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Toronto +3.5 (-110)

The Memphis Grizzlies have gotten used to playing with key injured players, and have maintained a winning record in spite of it all. While the home crowd has provided the adrenaline needed for overcoming the loss of Randolph, the road has not been easy where they have struggled to a 6-10 mark, losing six of their last eight. Toronto despite their last four home games vs. San Antonio and New York who have been hot, and Boston and the Lakers, they have gone 3-0-1 ATS and have been a tough out here. Overall, in their last six games in the role of a dog, they have not lost any of them against the number. Also, the home team has taken six of the last seven in this series ATS, so the play here is on Toronto.
