Portland Trailblazers vs. Los Angeles Clippers

Western Conference rivals collide on Friday night in Tinseltown where the
Los Angeles Clippers (29-21, 25-25 ATS) will attempt to win their fourth
straight against the Portland Trailblazers (23-27, 23-26-1 ATS); tip-off
from the Staples Center is set to go live on ESPN starting at 10:30 ET.

After taking the eventual world champion Dallas Mavericks to six games
before bowing out in the conference quarterfinals of the playoffs last
season, the Blazers figured to be one of the many teams in the West that had
a chance of making some noise in the strike shortened 2011-12 regular
season. Portland got out to a commanding start to their campaign winning
seven of their first nine games, but unfortunately, the winning became way
too far and few between for then Coach Nate McMillan to hold onto his job.
Since Kaleb Canales took over the coaching reins, it's been the same old
story for the Blazers who now find themselves in the basement of the
Northwest Division standings and 3.5-games out of the 8th and final playoff
seed. The squad will host the New Orleans Hornets on Thursday losers in six
of its L/10 both SU & ATS, and only have outright wins at Chicago (fluke)
and Washington in their L/8 road games.

Only just last week, the season looked to be slipping away from "Lob City"
after they dropped all three of their road games both SU and versus the
closing number to New Orleans, Oklahoma City, and Indiana. Rumors were
flying around that coach Vinny Del Negro was skating on thin ice and that
Clippers' brass was looking for an interim coach to replace him. The chaos
that was in Tinseltown has now quieted though, as LA has gone out and
pounded each of its L/3 opponents at home by an average of 15 PPG. Granted,
the only win of the three against a playoff caliber opponent came against a
Memphis team that invaded Tinseltown losers in five of their previous seven,
but the Grizz have gone on to beat both the Lakers and Timberwolves since.
The Clippers have been at their absolute best in front of the hometown
faithful where they sport 18-8 SU & 14-12 ATS tallies on the year.

Los Angeles will take to tonight's hardwood looking to win its regular
season series with the Trailblazers after taking two of the rivals previous
three meetings both SU & ATS; the 'under' cashed in two of those contests.
Portland checks in just 5-11 SU & 7-9 ATS when playing on no rest, and have
gone a bankroll depleting 4-13 ATS the L/17 times they invaded a .600+ home
team's arena. The Clippers have only covered two of their L/7 versus
Northwest Division opposition, but they're 4-1 SU & 3-2 ATS the L/5 times
they went off the board favored by 8+ points. The home team has covered four
of the L/5 in this series with the chalk coming through in 23 of the L/32
meetings; these teams have played to the 'under' four of the L/5 times they
collided in Staples.

FRIDAY

Dallas at Orlando: These teams meet for the only time this season and the spot clearly favors the hosts. Dallas played Thursday night at Miami in what was a revenge game for the defending champs who lost at home to the Heat when the season opened on Christmas Day.

Although Dallas recently enjoyed a four game winning streak since the All Star break the Mavericks are just 7-9 as they are in the midst of a wild scramble for Playoff positioning in the West. Orlando has been an enigma for much of the season with the status of star Dwight Howard hanging over the franchise. Now that Howard has committed to remain with the franchise for the short term, the Magic are able to focus on maintaining their current third position in the East.

Orlando has won 6 of its last 7 home games with 5 of the wins by double digits. In fact, 11 of their 18 home wins have been by double digits this season. The Magic should come favored by perhaps a couple of baskets and they should take advantage of the favorable scheduling spot against a Dallas team that had lost 8 of 10 road games starting this week. ORLANDO.

SPORTS WAGERS - HOCKEY UNDERDOGS!


Colorado +110 over CALGARY Pinnacle
Playoff lives are most certainly at stake here. The Avalanche are two points back of L.A for the eighth and final playoff spot and will have just two games left after this one. Calgary is three points back and will have three games left after this one. Both teams are up against it but a loss here and they can book tee-off times. Both teams are struggling. Colorado is 0-3-1 over its last four games but deserve better. In its last game, they dominated the Canucks in Vancouver but ran into a red-hot Roberto Luongo in a 1-0 defeat. Four of the Avs’ last five losses have been by a single goal. The Flames have one win over their past seven. Over that span they’ve scored one goal or less five times. In another game they scored twice. That’s six goals scored in six losses. In a desperate fight to make the playoffs, the Flames have recently lost to Edmonton, Columbus and Minnesota. That screams out to fade the Flames when they are favored. Play: Colorado +110 (Risking 2 units).

Montreal +210 over N.Y. RANGERS Pinnacle
With Carey Price in net and with a posted total of 5, the price here will dictate the play in what is expected to be a close game. The situation is a good one too for the Canadiens. New York returns home from an easy three-game trip to Toronto, Winnipeg and Minnesota. They struggled to beat a pathetic Leafs team in OT, they struggled to beat Minnesota and went on to beat a demoralized Jets club, picking up all six points. The Rangers are comfortably five points ahead of the Penguins for first overall with just five games remaining. The Rangers also have the Bruins on deck Sunday night. The Canadiens are dead last in the East but they have a game in hand on the Maple Leafs and they’re just three points behind them. No doubt, Montreal is motivated to finish ahead of Toronto. The Habs have won the last two games against the Rangers this season and outscored them 8-1. In a good spot and with confidence playing against the Rangers, we’ll gladly take our chances with this take-back. Play: Montreal +210 (Risking 2 units).

COLUMBUS +115 over Florida Pinnacle
The Panthers are having trouble closing out this thing. They were in a position to lock up a playoff spot after a five game-winning streak that ended in Philly on Feb 20. Since then, Florida has one win in five games against Carolina, Edmonton, the Islanders, Montreal and Minnesota. Against that set of five non-playoff teams, the Panthers couldn’t pull it off. Now they’ll play their third game in four days and tail-end of back-to-backs after last night’s 3-2 OT loss. Florida’s last four games have all gone into extra time and now the pressure picks up even more. The Jackets have split their last six games. They’re coming off a 4-2 home win over the Red Wings and they also have recent home victories over Los Angeles, Phoenix and Calgary. Rested, and in the role of the spoiler, the Jackets offer up some value against an exhausted guest that appears to be panicking. Play: Columbus +115 (Risking 2 units).

Dallas +142 over VANCOUVER Pinnacle
The Canucks have not felt the loss of Daniel Sedin in the loss column but they’ve certainly felt it on the scoreboard. Vancouver is coming off back-to-back 1-0 victories over Colorado and Los Angeles. They were soundly outplayed in both games but were saved by some solid goaltending. Over its last six games, Vancouver has scored seven goals, tallying one or less in four of them. You simply can’t expect to keep winning games at this level by scoring one or two goals. Dallas is in a serious battle for a playoff spot. It’s so close in the West that Dallas could finish first in the Pacific or they can miss the playoffs altogether, as one point separates four teams in that division. The Stars have scored 11 times over their past three games. They’re healthy, motivated and playing well while the Canucks, with a slew of key injuries are just trying to keep in together. At some point, the glue comes undone. Play: Dallas +142 (Risking 2 units).
