SUNDAY Andy Iskoe
Bulls at Knicks: It’s unknown whether defending MVP Derrick Rose will be back for Chicago after missing considerable time over the past few weeks with a groin injury. What is known is that New York will be without both Amar’e Stoudemire and Jeremy Lin for the balance of the regular season.
This could be a preview of an opening round Playoff series. Despite losing this past Sunday at Oklahoma City, Chicago still has the best record in the NBA and leads Miami by 3½ games for the top seed in the Eastern Conference. New York starts the week holding the eighth and final seed.
The Bulls have won both prior meetings this season with the Knicks, although New York covered both times. It was following this second loss that Mike D’Antoni resigned as Knicks coach, replaced by Mike Woodson. The coaching change has resulted in a much greater emphasis on defense and in the 11 games since the change no team has topped 100 points against New York.Bulls--Knicks UNDER.Comment

MLB 9-5 Season-to-Date +$1820
Game: Minnesota at Baltimore (1:35 PM Eastern)
Pick: Minnesota +110 (moneyline)
Minnesota has better offensive talent than we've seen so far. It will help to face a pitcher with average stuff, like they face here in Jason Hammel. Picked-up from Colorado, Hammell went 7-13 with a 4.76 ERA. He allowed more hits than innings pitched, but most alarming was his 68 walks in 170 innings. He puts a lot of guys on base, which was why he was 3-9 with a 5.30 ERA at home. Speaking of throwing strikes, that's what Twins starter Anthony Swarzak does best, walking just 13 batters in 63 2/3 innings last year. Swarzak started two games during spring training (both wins) and permitted only one run over a span of 9 2/3 innings. He also posted six strikeouts. The Twins are 5-1 in Swarzak's last six starts as an underdog of +110 to +150. Play the Minnesota Twins.Comment
