What bettors need to know: Sunday's NBA Playoffs action

Utah Jazz at San Antonio Spurs (-10.5, 207)

THE STORY: The Utah Jazz survived a spirited battle with the Phoenix Suns to secure the eighth and final playoff berth in the Western Conference. The reward: a first-round meeting with the powerhouse Spurs beginning with Game 1 Sunday afternoon in San Antonio. Utah was one of the hottest teams to close out the regular season - winning five in a row - but will be in tough against a Spurs club that ended the campaign with 10 consecutive victories despite giving their key players plenty of rest.

TV: 1 p.m. ET, ESPN

ABOUT THE JAZZ (36-30, 34-31-1 ATS): Utah surprised many by emerging as one of the top offensive teams in the league this season, averaging nearly 100 points per game. The Jazz's balanced attack was led by veteran power forward Al Jefferson, who averaged 19.2 points and 9.6 rebounds to earn his way back to the playoffs after a seven-year absence. Utah will also lean heavily on swingman Gordon Hayward, who capitalized on extra playing time to average 14.1 points in 34 games after the All-Star break.

ABOUT THE SPURS (50-16, 42-20-4 ATS): San Antonio was one of only two teams to reach the 50-win plateau this season, marking what could be head coach Gregg Popovich's most impressive accomplishment to date. Dealing with an aging star in Tim Duncan and the absence of swingman Manu Ginobili for a major portion of the season, the Spurs still posted the second-best scoring average in the NBA (103.7 ppg). At the heart of the offensive explosion was point guard Tony Parker, who averaged 18.3 points and a career-best 7.7 assists.

TRENDS:

* Over is 14-3 in the last 17 meetings in San Antonio.
* Favorite is 21-7-1 ATS in the last 29 meetings.
* Over is 11-4 in the last 15 meetings.
* Road team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last eight meetings.
* Jazz are 3-11-1 ATS in the last 15 meetings in San Antonio.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Spurs won three of four regular-season meetings, though the Jazz prevailed 91-84 in their last head-to-head encounter April 9.

2. San Antonio has been eliminated from the playoffs in the opening round in two of the last three seasons.

3. Jefferson averaged 6.1 points in just over 19 minutes in his only other playoff experience as a 20-year-old with the Boston Celtics in 2005.

Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5, 202)

THE STORY: This will be the sixth postseason series betweenthe Lakers and Denver Nuggets with Los Angeles prevailing in each one, mostrecently in the 2009 Western Conference finals. The Lakers earned the thirdseed in the West despite theatrics they have grown accustomed to, culminating ina seven-game suspension for Metta World Peace’s vicious elbow. He still mustsit out six games. Denver has the ability to push the ball and limited KobeBryant to 17.7 points in the four-game series this season.

TV:3:30 p.m. ET, ABC

ABOUT THE NUGGETS (38-28, 36-30 ATS): While the quickness of Ty Lawson willbe a strength for Denver, forwards Danilo Gallinari and Al Harrington could bekey in the absence of World Peace. The Nuggets also have a rising rookie thatis big enough to bother the Lakers’ inside game. Kenneth Faried led all rookiesin rebounding (7.7) and the self-title Manimal said he is up to the task. “Kill. We're not friends. Don't talkto me,” Faried told The Denver Post of his game strategy.

ABOUT THE LAKERS (41-25, 28-38 ATS): Los Angeleslacks depth and has had trouble on the road, but Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasolhave proved too much for the Nuggets in the regular season, where the Lakerswon three of four. And there is no better clutch player in the league than KobeBryant, who finished second in scoring and should be well rested despite shintroubles. With World Peace out and Matt Barnes nursing a sprained ankle, theLakers will use Devin Ebanks at small forward.

TRENDS:

* Under is 21-6 in the last 27 meetings.
* Under is 16-5 in the last 21 meetings in Los Angeles.
* Nuggets are 3-1-1 ATS in the last five meetings in Los Angeles.
* Nuggets are 7-3-1 ATS in the last 11 meetings.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Nuggets are 15-0 when scoring atleast 60 points in the first half.

2. Los Angeles has won 17 of 21 postseason games against the Nuggets.

3. When the Lakers have home-courtadvantage in the opening round, they have a 34-2 series record.

Boston Celtics at Atlanta Hawks (-1.5, 178.5)

THE STORY: It could be the last major playoff run for Boston’s “Big Three” as the Celtics open the postseason against the host Atlanta Hawks on Sunday. Forwards Paul Pierce (34) and Kevin Garnett (35) and guard Ray Allen (36) are getting longer in the tooth and more prone to injury breakdowns. The fourth-seeded Celtics have the playoff experience edge, but the fifth-seeded Hawks appear capable of dispatching of the Celtics. Boston won two of the three regular-season meetings.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE CELTICS (39-27, 34-30-2 ATS): Boston likely won’t know if Allen can play until close to game time. The veteran guard has been bothered by an injured right ankle and missed the final nine games of the regular season. Pierce has sensed Allen’s distress. “It’s always frustrating when you’re sitting out,” Pierce said. “Ray is one of the great competitors in the league. I’m sure it eats at him every single day he can’t practice and every single game he can’t play.” Pierce left the regular-season finale with a sprained left big toe but will be ready for the Hawks. Point guard Rajon Rondo led the NBA in assists at 11.7 per game.

ABOUT THE HAWKS (40-26, 36-28-2 ATS): Atlanta didn’t decline in the fashion some surmised after a season-ending injury to All-Star center Al Horford. A prime reason was that forward Josh Smith stepped up to average a career-best 18.8 points to go with 9.6 rebounds. Smith accepted more responsibility as a team leader as well. “This was definitely a year where I was productive,” Smith said. “With the injury to Al, I had to step up as a scoring leader and being more of a vocal leader. Basically, it was just showing everybody what I always had in my game.” Point guard Jeff Teague will be a pivotal figure as the player who will be defending Rondo.

TRENDS:

* Underdog is 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings.
* Celtics are 0-4 ATS in their last four playoff games as underdogs.
* Hawks are 7-1 ATS in their last eight Conference Quarterfinals games.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Atlanta took Boston to seven games before falling in the first round of the 2008 playoffs and the Celtics went on to win the NBA title.

2. Boston guard Avery Bradley averaged 15.1 points over the final 15 regular-season games and will start whether or not Allen is available.

3. Hawks forward Zaza Pachulia (foot) is expected to miss the opener.

Los Angeles Clippers at Memphis Grizzlies (-5.5, 184)

THE STORY: Reaching the postseason has not been the norm for the Los Angeles Clippers, who are in the playoffs for the first time since 2005-06. They have won just one playoff series in four appearances since moving to Los Angeles for the 1984-85 season but come into this one having set a franchise record for victories this season. Memphis earned the fourth seed with a victory over Orlando in the season finale, has won a franchise-record 11 consecutive home games and is hosting a playoff series for the first time.

TV: 9:30 p.m. ET, TNT

ABOUT THE CLIPPERS (40-26, 33-33 ATS): Chris Paul came to Los Angeles in the biggest preseason trade in recent memory and is a major reason the Clippers ended a six-year playoff drought. The All-Star point guard enters the playoffs with a mild groin strain that kept him out of Friday’s practice. He insists he will play in the opener. The Clippers will miss the playoff experience of Chauncey Billups; the 15-year veteran had season-ending surgery in February for a torn Achilles’ tendon. Blake Griffin will play in his first playoff series and will have to fight through Memphis’ big front line.

ABOUT THE GRIZZLIES (41-25, 29-37 ATS): Memphis is not one of the flashiest teams in the NBA but has perhaps the best perimeter defense in the league. Led by Tony Allen, Mike Conley and Rudy Gay, the Grizzlies led the league in forced turnovers at 17.1 per game. All-Star Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph will test the Clippers inside. “They want to make every possession a dogfight,” Clippers guard Randy Foye said. “They want to grind it out. They want you to take the shot they want you to take, not the shot that you want to take. That's what makes it tough.”

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Memphis.
* Clippers are 0-4 ATS in their last four games overall.
* Grizzlies are 4-1 ATS in their last five playoff games as favorites.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. The Clippers won the season series 2-1. Memphis leads the overall series 33-32.

2. Griffin is the only player in the league averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and three assists.

3. Paul is first in the league in steals (2.53) while Conley is second (2.19).

NHL Playoffs on NBC: What bettors need to know

New Jersey Devils at Philadelphia Flyers (-159, 5.5)

Two teams that took different routes to get to Round 2 of the Eastern Conference postseason meet for the fifth time in playoff history as one of the league’s more underrated rivalries is renewed. Just 87 miles along a stretch of the New Jersey Turnpike separate these two clubs, so this has the makings of as intense a series as you’ll see.

All about Adam

Even general manager Lou Lamoriello, who sculpted three Stanley Cup title teams from 1995-2003, didn’t know what to expect from New Jersey forward Adam Henrique this season. The rookie seemed bound for the AHL-NHL express. He’d play some games with the big club, but he’d probably get more seasoning in the minors.

Henrique made sure that didn’t happen. His early-season play made him a staple in coach Peter DeBoer’s rotation and 16 goals and 51 points later, not only is Henrique a valued member of the Devils’ offense, he’s also a finalist for the Calder Trophy, given to the NHL’s top rookie.

Henrique didn’t stop there. He scored twice including the game winner in double overtime, as the Devils outlasted Florida 3-2 to win their first-round series in seven games Thursday. The center is quick and Feisty on faceoff and the left-handed shot, who was a plus-8 in the regular season, could cause some matchup problems for Philadelphia.

Keep up with Claude

Maybe Flyers coach Peter Laviolette was a little strong last week, when he called Philadelphia forward Claude Giroux “the best player in the world.” There are a few others out there that might warrant that label, but nonetheless, Laviolette’s timing was good. Giroux, after all, is on a run for the ages.

Entering a series against Pittsburgh, Giroux stood tall among the Penguins’ stars. He had six goals and 14 points and dominated play for long stretches of the series.

His hit on Crosby in the first minute of Game 6 set the tone that his teammates followed through on it the rest of the day. He finished the series with 28 shots in the six games.

We’ll see if a seven-day layoff between games slows Giroux’s momentum, but it’s probably unlikely. After all, he’s only 24 years old and Laviolette gave the players just one full day off this week, so all of the Flyers should be ready.

He keeps going and going

He will turn 40 during this series and, though he will likely return next season, there’s always a chance this playoff could be Martin Brodeur’s last.

So, perhaps it’s fitting that he’s facing the Flyers in this year’s tournament. After all, Brodeur has already met Philadelphia four times in playoff series during a career that began in 1992. There’s a history there and while the Flyers have trotted out goalie after goalie, Brodeur has been an anchor to New Jersey’s winning culture since 1992.

He wasn’t at his best versus Florida in Round 1. He and the Devils blew a 3-0 lead in Game 3 and lost. And they blew 2-0 leads in Games 6 and 7 before rallying.

Brodeur is so-so against the Flyers in the playoffs for his career. In 1995 and 2000, in the Eastern Conference Finals, he won. In 2004 and 2010, he lost in Round 1.

But if you’re looking for a sign of things to come, consider this: In both times Brodeur has defeated the Flyers in the playoffs, the Devils later won the Stanley Cup.

History

The Flyers have won four straight Sunday games and have won 12 of the last 17 as favorites. New Jersey won its last six regular season contests, so with the first round included, the Devils have now won 10 of the last 13.

The Flyers started 4-0 over/under in the Penguins series before the oddsmakers caught up and established the total at seven in Games 5 and 6. As such, they’ve gone under in their last two tilts.

Nashville Predators at Phoenix Coyotes (+107, 5)

Most of the viewing public may not know much about these two teams. But for the loyal, attentive bettors out there, this pair has been making money for a long time. There are two great goaltenders, offensive balance and three of the more underrated defensemen in the league on display.

Strong in defeat

There’s a reason that Nashville is a slight favorite in Game 2. Even though they are on the road and trail the series, the Predators impressed the oddsmakers in Game 1. And rightfully so.

Goaltender Pekka Rinne was the victim of some bad bounces, but it didn't impact the Predators' push up front. Nashville pumped 42 shots on net and, though Phoenix's Mike Smith was strong between the pipes, if that kind of aggressive play continues the Predators are going to be just fine.

And on the backline, though they weren't great in Game 1, Nashville still has the better names on defense. Ryan Suter played 33:17 and Shea Weber played 33:12 in Game 1, but they need more than five shots from the two of them and they also need to be better than a combined minus-2.

Ray of hope

Phoenix forward Ray Whitney, who like Brodeur will turn 40 in May, has found energy late in his career and has become something of a lightning rod in Phoenix. As he goes, so go the Coyotes and in Game 1, he had a goal and an assist as the home team drew first blood.

In the regular season, Whitney had 24 goals and 77 points. And while defenseman Keith Yandle is the poster child for Phoenix’s stifling defensive ways, Whitney has clearly bought in. After all, he was a plus-26 this year.

Whitney closed the regular season with six points in his last five games and now has five postseason points. At 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, he’s still as slippery as ever. You would think that Weber and Suter could bottle him up, but it hasn’t happened yet.

Made in Montreal

Montreal fans don't have much to cheer for these days, but if they're still into these playoffs, perhaps they want to give a look at former Canadiens defenseman Francis Bouillon.

Not as heralded as some of the other Predators blueliners, Bouillon is having a solid postseason. He had two assists and was a plus-2 in Game 1 and now has three points in the playoffs.

As Canadiens fans will tell you, points are a bonus for Bouillon. His best season, after all, saw him post just 22 in 2005-06 with Montreal. His true value lies in his own zone.

He is a plus-8 in the postseason with 13 hits and six shots on goal. He also has five blocked shots. And speaking of age, he’s doing this at 36 years old in his 12th season in the league.

History

Nashville has won 10 of the last 11 Sunday games and has won four of the last five road games. Phoenix has won 10 of the last 12 games overall, dating back to the regular season and the over has hit in six of the last seven games between these two clubs in Arizona.

Injury that shouldn’t be overlooked

Ray Allen, Boston Celtics - Allen is traveling with the team to Atlanta for the start of their first round playoff series, but it is unclear if he will play in Game 1 on Sunday against the Hawks. Allen has not played for the past two weeks because of a sore ankle. Allen told ESPN.com that he is still day-to-day, but Celtics coach Doc Rivers said he is doubtful that Allen will play on Sunday. "Honestly, I don't think he'll play, but we'll find that out," Rivers said. "He can play, so I'm not saying he's not, and it would be very nice if he does, but he's just not moving well and we'll just find out."

Game of the day

Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers (-4.5, 201.5)

Notable quotable

"Mentally and physically, we're tired. There's no doubt about that. But that's playoff hockey. We played through a lot of adversity in the first round and we pulled it off. We're happy to move on. To win the first round when you haven't been in the playoffs the year before and have been struggling to get out of the first round, it feels good for a day. Then we have to face the Flyers." – New Jersey Devils veteran goaltender Martin Brodeur about the quick turnaround after beating the Florida Panthers in seven games. New Jersey opens its Round 2 series at 3 p.m. ET Sunday at Philadelphia.

Notes and tips

The Houston Astros recalled right-hander Jordan Lyles from Class AAA Oklahoma City on Saturday and will start him on Sunday at the Cincinnati Reds, the club announced. Lyles is 4-0 with a 3.46 ERA and 24 strikeouts in 26 innings for Oklahoma City this season. The Astros placed right-hander Kyle Weiland on the 15-day disabled list on Friday with a sore right shoulder.

Dallas Maverick guard Delonte West might miss Saturday night's playoff opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to an illness. Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle told ESPN Dallas that West had a stomach illness and was vomiting on Friday night. If West is unable to play, he would most likely be replaced in the starting lineup by Vince Carter. West averaged 9.6 points and 3.2 assists in 44 regular season games.

The Philadelphia Phillies moved Jimmy Rollins back to the leadoff spot for Saturday’s game, hoping to give him a spark. The 33-year-old shortstop batted third in all of his other starts this year but was hitting only .216.

[poopoo333]

Sunday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers

Streaking

Gio Gonzalez, Washington Nationals – 2-0, 1.52 ERA

Gonzalez hasn’t allowed a single run over his last 20 innings on the bump and has struck out at least six batters in each of his four starts. The lefty hasn’t thrown more than 97 pitches yet this year and has walked just seven batters. Three of his four outings have played under.

Jaime Garcia, St. Louis Cardinals – 2-0, 2.49 ERA

Garcia should have a lot in the tank Sunday after throwing just 85 pitches in a tough-luck no-decision in his last start. He gave up just one run over 7 2/3 innings against the Cubs before getting the hook in the eighth. So far, the Cardinals are giving him 6.8 runs of support per game.

Slumping

Ervin Santana, Los Angeles Angels – 0-4, 7.23 ERA

Santana won’t have much of a chance picking up his first win of the year if he can’t keep the ball in the ballpark. He gave up four dingers in his last start – a 5-0 loss to Tampa Bay – and has now allowed an MLB-high 10 homers already. The Angels aren’t giving him much help either, averaging only 0.8 runs in his starts.

Kyle Kendrick, Philadelphia Phillies – 0-1, 9.39 ERA

At least it probably can’t get much worse for Kendrick. He probably only has to make one more start before Cliff Lee gets back from the DL, but will need to be much better after getting torched for seven runs on 11 hits in only three-plus innings of work against Arizona.

Boston Celtics series -178 for 3 units to win 1.69 units

Yes, the Celtics are a very old ball club. However, their age factor has been relatively non-existent throughout the course of the season, as they have proven time and time again that they could pick up crucial wins on back-to-back nights. Therefore, I don't see fatigue being a factor in this one at all. Furthermore, the Celtics are simply a team peaking at the perfect time. Due in part to a combination of ***** key decisions to move Garnett to center and Avery Bradley into the starting line-up (and put in Allen off the bench), the Celtics are finally clicking as they posted a 12-4 record down the stretch with impressive wins against the Heat (twice), Pacers, Magic, and Hawks. In addition to the Celtics' recent fluidity on offense resulting from these line-up changes, I don't think enough can be said about Rondo's stellar performance since the all-star break. Not only is Rondo leading the league in assists at 11.6 a game, but he is in the midst of an insane 24 game streak with 10 or more assists, closing in on Stockton's record of 29 straight games. What this shows is that Boston's offense is as fluid and efficient as ever. With Boston's lock-down defense (which was just as good this season as prior seasons as they rank 2nd in the league in defensive efficiency) combined with their surging offense, this team is prime to make a deep run this year. I don't think the Hawks have enough weapons to counter. One main thing to consider is that the Hawks will be without Horford this series, and without him this team is completely different. Without his 12 ppg's and 7 rpg's, this team becomes a lot more guard oriented, which fits right into the hands of the Celtics defense. If there is one place to beat the Celtics, it is by exploiting them down low, however the Hawks aren't equipped to do so without Horford, and I don't see their guard play (although very good) being enough to elevate them over a 7 game series against the Celtics' surging offense and lock-down defense.

Memphis Grizzlies series -198 for 3 units to win 1.5 units

At first glance, the Clippers seem like a solid +EV pick here, especially at +200. However, the more I thought about this series, the more I liked the Grizzlies here. First off, the Grizzlies have a solid experience factor working in their favor coming off their historic run to the conference semi-finals last year as an 8 seed with the same core line-up of Randolph, Gasol, Gay, and Conley. The Clippers, on the other hand, are sort of an upstart team. Although they have some veteran pieces, mainly Chris Paul at the point, this Clippers team has shown many times throughout the regular season that they come up short in big situations. Although Chris Paul is one of the best fourth quarter players in the entire league (hitting 32-34 from the FT line in 4th quarters this season) and we all know how crucial 4th quarter play is during the playoffs, the Grizzlies are known for their incredible on-the-ball pressure defense, as they lead the NBA in steals (9.6 per game) and forced turnovers (17.2 per game). This type of pressure will cause havoc for Paul and prevent him from easy dribble penetration, which really opens up the court for their shooters and for Blake to explode to the basket. Offensively, I think Rudy Gay will be the difference maker for Memphis and I think his length and athleticism will create tremendous problems for Clipper guards and various mismatches as a result. Zach Randolph is a phenomenal defender, and he makes up for his lack of height with tremendous fundamentals and physicality down low. Blake should be in for a very highly contested match-up down low, and I think his productivity will decline in this series. Overall, I think the more well-rounded and experienced team will prevail over the course of this series, and I give the edge to Memphis.

Hondo

A loss is a loss whether by 33 or one, and Hondo experienced the pain of both yesterday when the Knicks and D’backs conspired to boost the debt to 580 aparicios.

Today, Mr. Aitch will toss up a trey and see what happens -- 10 units apiece on the Snakes over Johnson, the Chisox over Slosh Beckett, and the Nats to Cap it off with a win in LA.
