Ice picks: Monday's Best NHL Bets

New York Rangers at Ottawa Senators (105, 5)

The Senators left the Big Apple with a 1-1 split in their series against the Rangers, but the Game 2 win may have cost them their captain. Daniel Alfredsson is questionable for Game 3 on Monday after taking a high elbow to the side of his head.

"It's tough for us to lose (Alfredsson). Hopefully he should be fine," defenseman Erik Karlsson told the Toronto Sun. "He's still the same old happy guy. We'll see how he feels and it's probably going to be a game-time decision."

Ottawa's offense is more than Alfie. Karlsson and Jason Spezza can carry the weight but the way the series is heading -- with this rough and tough stuff -- better suits the Rangers.

Pick: Rangers

St. Louis Blues at San Jose Sharks (-115, 5)

Having two goalies is usually a bad thing, but not for the Blues. St. Louis lost its starting goalie Jaroslav Halak to a lower body injury in Game 2 and he will miss Game 3 because of the injury too.

What a luxury it is to turn to their backup Brian Elliott, the league's leader in goals-against average. Elliott stopped all 17 shots in relief of Halak in Game 2.

Things got pretty messy in the third period of Game 2. The two teams combined for over 100 penalty minutes in the third period only. That's just the kind of game a Ken Hitchcock-coached team wants to play.

St. Louis has won five of its last six against San Jose.

Pick: Blues

[poopoo333]

Pick 'n' roll: Monday's Best NBA Bets

Atlanta Hawks at Toronto Raptors (4.5, 182.5)

Hawks star Joe Johnson didn't show up for Sunday's shocking 102-86 loss to Toronto, going 2 for 12 for seven points.

Atlanta was embarrassed by a cast of castoffs that included Alan Anderson (16 points), Ben Uzoh (10 points, 3 assists) and Justin Dentmon (10 points, 4 assists). All three of those Raptors are on 10-day contracts.

“Guys are just playing the right way, playing together, playing with a purpose,” Toronto coach Dwane Casey said. “You’ve got guys who don’t want to go down without a fight. Atlanta’s one of the top teams in the NBA and they came out and performed.”

Atlanta (35-25) should respond in a big way on the back end of this home-and-home.

The Hawks are 4-0 ATS in their last four road games, 10-4 ATS in their last 14 meetings with the Raptors, and 6-1 ATS in their last seven visits to Toronto.

Pick: Hawks

Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz (NA)

The Jazz has no margin for error as it hosts the Mavericks on Monday. Utah has lost back-to-back games and sits in 10th place in the Western Conference, 1 1/2 games behind the eighth and final playoff position with only five games left.

Utah has blown fourth-quarter leads in devastating losses to the New Orleans Hornets and Memphis Grizzlies. Coach Tyrone Corbin has elected to sell the losses as a time to learn. “We aren’t out it by any stretch of the imagination,” Corbin said. “Plus, we want to continue to grow as a team. These experiences this time of year are invaluable to us.”

Dallas lost in overtime to the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday but remains in sixth place.

Forward Dirk Nowitzki is in a shooting slump as the season winds down. Nowitzki hit just 9 of 28 shots in the 112-108 loss to the Lakers and is shooting 37.9 percent (36 of 95) over the last five games. Nowitzki still managed 24 points and 14 rebounds against Los Angeles but was unhappy with his performance. “I just have to make some shots,” Nowitzki said. “I was more of a volume shooter and that’s not the way I want to play. I want to be an efficient scorer. I’ve got some work to do.”

The Mavs are 6-1 ATS in the last seven meetings.

Pick: Mavericks

[poopoo333]

Hot lines: Monday's Best MLB Bets

Tampa Bay Rays at Boston Red Sox (-115, 9.5)

Don't ask us what subluxation of a shoulder means. We know it's bad and it's what put Red Sox outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury on the disabled list.

"We'll try to get him back as soon as possible with the best possible care known to man," manager Bobby Valentine told the Boston Globe. "I haven't heard the word 'surgery' mentioned, but I said, whatever the best possible care is, that's what he'll get."

Ellsbury was off to a modest start but he was arguably Boston's best player a year ago. Carl Crawford would be the guy to step in and bat leadoff with Ellsbury out, but the former Tampa Bay Ray is on the disabled list with a sore wrist.

Boston's offense needs a table setter, so this could be a lucky break for visiting Tampa Bay.

Pick: Rays

Philadelphia Phillies at San Francisco Giants (-105, 6)

Fear the beard no more. Brian Wilson is on the injury shelf, and the Giants aren't expecting to see their closer shutting the door in the ninth inning anytime soon.

The reports say that Wilson has structural damage in his right elbow. San Fran plans on getting another MRI done on the elbow this week but the early prognosis isn't good.

"He's a huge impact player," teammate Barry Zito said of Wilson, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "He can change the whole dynamic of a team, both on and off the field. It's a huge blow."

It's unclear who'll replace Wilson as the club's closer. It is clear that Tim Lincecum will need to pitch much better than he has in his first two starts for the Giants to top the Phillies on Monday.

Pick: Phillies

Monday's Betting Tips

"Bruins at home on the road"

Weather to watch

Fourteen mile-per-hour winds will be blowing out to right-center when the White Sox host the Orioles on Monday night. There will be clear skies, with temperatures in the high 40s.

Who’s HOT

NBA: The Suns are 18-8 ATS in their last 26 games.

NBA: The home team is 24-9-1 ATS in the last 34 Dallas-Utah games.

NHL: The Bruins are 5-0 in their last five road games.

NHL: The Rangers are 6-1 in their last seven games in Ottawa.

MLB: The under is 6-2 in Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson’s last eight starts vs. the Mets.

Who’s NOT

NBA: The T-Wolves are 2-9 ATS in their last 11 games.

NBA: Philly is 0-5 ATS in its last five meetings with Orlando.

NHL: The over is 0-4-1 in the last five Blues-Sharks games.

NHL: St. Louis is 5-13 in its last 18 games in San Jose.

MLB: The White Sox are 2-9 in Philip Humber’s last 11 starts.

Key Stat

132 – That’s how many penalty minutes San Jose and St. Louis racked up in the Blues’ 3-0 win in Game 2, including 88 minutes and 15 penalties as brawls erupted at the final whistle. With each team accusing the other of cheap shots, officials will do everything they can to avoid a repeat in Game 3 on Monday night.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid, who was a plus-16 in the regular season, missed the first two games of the playoffs with an eye/head injury and did not make the trip to Washington for Game 3 on Monday. "Right now he's not ready to go on the ice and he's going to continue treatment,” coach Claude Julien said. “When he's ready to start working out with the team then we'll bring him with us." McQuaid has not played since April 5.

Game of the day

Boston Bruins at Washington Capitals (110, 5)

Notable Quotable

"Are you kidding me? It's going to be tough without him the next couple weeks. A herniated disk? That's crazy. Dwight isn't playing, everybody has to step up. Everybody." – Orlando Magic C Glen Davis, reacting to the Orlando Sentinel about Dwight Howard’s anticipated two-week absence. Howard is trying to treat his back injury with rest and rehabilitation, and will be evaluated in 10 days. The Magic, 2-4 without Howard, hosts Philly on Monday.

Notes and Tips

Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw faces a hearing Monday for an incident with Phoenix goaltender Mike Smith in Chicago's 4-3 overtime win Saturday. Shaw was given a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct after making contact with Smith behind the Phoenix net. Smith stayed down for several minutes but was able to finish the game. The NHL is expected to decide Shaw's fate Monday, in advance of Tuesday's Game 3 at the United Center. The series is tied 1-1.

Suns guard Steve Nash, who said his hip was "killing" him before Saturday's game against the Spurs, hopes that treatment and medicine will enable him to play Monday when Phoenix hosts Portland. Nash (12.7 ppg, 10.9 apg) is officially questionable.

Lakers star Kobe Bryant missed his fifth straight game Sunday with inflammation in his left shin. The team is in no hurry to rush the 16-year veteran back into the lineup, as coach Mike Brown wants Bryant healthy for the playoffs. L.A. hosts San Antonio on Tuesday, with Bryant’s status yet to be clarified.

Mighty Quinn

Mighty missed with the Penguins Sunday.

Monday it’s the Yankees. The deficit is 506 sirignanos.

[poopoo333]

Hondo

The heroic Dodgers rushed to Hondo’s rescue yesterday, holding off the Pods with a triple play in the ninth, then winning it in their half. So along with his Blue Jay victory and losses with the Rays and Nats, he split his four-pronged attack, leaving him with a slight bump in the debt to 245 killebrews.

Tonight, Mr. Aitch will open with Pavano and the Twins in The Bronx. The only concern is that the American Idle will become overly nostalgic being at the site of some of his most soothing whirlpool treatments. Also, His Aitchness expects Halladay and the Phillies to coast in San Fran. Ten units apiece.
