Hondo

Hondo’s action-packed day ended with a small loss yesterday as he hit with the Dodgers and White Sox but missed with the Blue Jays, D’backs and Creative Cause, as well as his Creative Cause-Hansen-Trinniberg exacta box. As a result of those results, the IOUs grew to 900 cepedas.

Today, don’t mark him down for a Marcum play -- 10 units on Cain to be gigantic.

Atlanta +205/+5½ over BOSTON

Every game these two have played over the past year has been close. In fact, dating back to April of 2011 and over seven games including this year’s playoffs, the biggest margin of victory has been nine points and that was in game one of these playoffs. Two of those have gone into OT and four of them have been decided by five or less. Now with a total of 171½ and with Josh Smith’s likely return, the Hawks are being offered significant points in a game they can not only stay within range but could win outright. One could argue that the Hawks could be up 3-0 in this series as oppose to being down 2-1. They lost the last game in OT, they had the C’s on the ropes in game 2 and were in complete control in the opener. All the value is on Atlanta here, as Boston simply does not warrant this tag and so we’ll play the Hawks both on the point-spread and money line. Play: Atlanta +5½ (Risking 1.09 units to win 1) Play: Atlanta +205 (Risking 1 unit).

Denver -2 over L.A. LAKERS

A confidence boost is exactly what the doctor ordered for the Nuggets and they got a big one in game three when they jumped out to a 41-17 lead and held off a furious Laker rally. The entire series now has a different feel, as the Nuggets are in position to even it up. L.A. has a decided edge in the low post with Andrew Bynum but that’s where any edge they have ends. The Nuggets are much quicker and they have the NBA’s best bench. The deficiencies of the Lakers' bench were bound to be exposed at some point and the Nuggets were the first to put this glaring weakness on full display. Denver’s bench manhandled the Lakers' second unit, outscoring it 39-9 in game three and there’s likely more of that to come here. The longer this series goes and the more minutes Kobe plays, the bigger toll it will take on a guy that has played far too many minutes over the past four months. The Lakers have been prone to big runs against all season long on the road and suffered its worst one in game three when Denver went on a 28-2 run. The Lakers' starters need some help and at this point it's unclear where that will come from. Line is cheap as a direct result of the Lakers enormous popularity with the betting public and once again we can take advantage. Play: Denver -2 (Risking 2.2 units to win 2).

Arizona +101 over N.Y. METS

The thing you have to love about Trevor Cahill is that he’s an extreme groundball pitcher and that gives him a great chance to pitch deep into games and pile up the W’s. Cahill has a 64% groundball rate and what that also does is keep the ball in the park and makes every hitter a potential double-play candidate. In 32 innings, Cahill has been taken yard just one time. The D-Backs have won three of his five starts with his only disaster outing being against Atlanta. He’ll face a laboring Mets team that has dropped four of five and that is hitting just .242 over their past five games and .242 over their past 10 as well. The fact that R.A. Dickey emerged as a big league regular in his mid-30s and throws a knuckler might make some wonder if he's going to turn into a pumpkin soon. But consider that he's tossed 400 innings in a Mets uniform over the past two seasons with few bad starts. He gets lots of ground balls, strikes out almost six per game and has excellent control. Maybe it's time to believe. However, he’s allowed at least one jack in every game thus far and has already been tagged for seven bombs. Other than that he’s pitched well and that allows us to take back a small tag on a warm Snakes club with a pitcher who is very difficult to go yard against. Play: Arizona +101 (Risking 2 units).

Philadelphia +106 over WASHINGTON

Ryan Zimmerman is a tough pitcher. He’s had one quality start after another this season and owns a stellar 1.89 ERA. He’s walked just three batters in 33.1 innings while strikeout out 22. However, he’s also a hard luck pitcher that rarely gets run support and that has just 13 wins over 54 major league starts. There’s no explanation for it and it has to play on one’s mind after a while. Zimmerman opposes Cole Hamels here and is probably thinking he has to be near perfect to win. He might be right. Hamels is among the elite pitchers in the game and is pitching for a contract next season when he becomes an unrestricted free agent. The Phillies have won his last four starts. Hamels has struck out 36 while walking five in 32.1 innings. The guy is the straight goods and anytime we can take back a tag with Cole Hamels going, it’s a bet we’ll make just about every time. Against this anemic offense, it’s a bet that must be made. Play: Philadelphia +106 (Risking 2 units).

NEW JERSEY -105 over Philadelphia

The Flyers really seem to be running out of gas. They beat the Penguins in a series they weren’t supposed to win and that round one victory appears to have taken too big an emotional toll. Against the Devils, Philadelphia has been outclassed, outhit, outhustled and there’s no reason to believe things will change here. The scores have been close on paper but have not told the true story of what has transpired on the ice in this series. From the opening faceoff of game one, New Jersey has clearly been the better team in every way and that includes game two without Ilya Kovalchuk. Today’s line does not reflect that one bit and it’s for that reason we’ll confidently step in and play the home team in a game they should be favored by more than a nickel in. Definite underlay. Play: New Jersey -105 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

Atlanta Hawks at Boston Celtics
Prediction: Atlanta Hawks

10* graded play on the Atlanta Hawks as they take on the Boston Celtics set to start at 7:00 PM ET in their first round playoff matchup in the Eastern Conference. The simulator shows a high probability that Atlanta will lose this game by five or fewer points and have an excellent shot at winning the game and tying the series at two games apiece.

Boston leads the series two-game-to-one, but it took overtime to get the win in Game 3. Boston and Atlanta have had significant injuries on their squad all season and the toll is showing particularly with the Celtics club. Boston head coach Doc Rivers gave the team off Saturday , which is very rare in playoff action since it was the only day that they had to practice.

Ryan Allen came back Friday after not playing since April 10 and was a big lift for the Celtics, especially in the second half of Friday?s win. Avery Bradley went down with a shoulder injury and Allen logged in 38 key minutes Friday. Bradley has had the shoulder issue all season and trainers are able to ?snap? it back in place most of the time. This is just one example of the series of nagging injuries affecting the Celtics and the Hawks squads in the shortened and compacted 66-game schedule.

The biggest factor is Atlanta is younger and will recover faster in the day-to-day grind of the NBA playoffs. I think it speaks volumes that Rivers gave the team a complete day off as it may be his only chance to win this series if the team is given as much rest as possible. I just don?t see Boston being able to get through this series and advance with this series tied at 2-2 and becoming a bet-of-three series.

Boston has the second best scoring defense in the NBA allowing 89.0 points per game on the season. They have held Atlanta to two straight games shooting under 40%, but I see Atlanta making the adjustments and will shoot far better in this game. One of those adjustments is that looking to create more fast break scoring opportunities off of missed Boston Celtic shots attempts.

The Hawks rank sixth in the NBA averaging 15.9 fast break points per game on the season. Boston ranks fifth in the NBA allowing 11.7 fast break points per game,, but I strongly believe that Atlanta will be able to attack early in this game looking to wear down the aged Celtics. The more running the Hawks execute, even without ending the break with a score, will slowly wear down the Celtics starting five.

In watching the game, look for the when the majority of perimeter shots begin to be short for the Celtics. This is the first and most prevalent sign of fatigue in basketball and that is when Atlanta can put the peddle to the metal and run the Celtics off the court.

Boston is one of the worst rebounding teams in the NBA ranking 29th and averaging 46.8 rebounds per game. Atlanta is not that much better ranking 22nd and averaging 49.6 boards per game. However, Atlanta can focus on minimizing Boston?s second chance scoring opportunities knowing that Boston ranks dead last in the NBA at 30th averaging just 7.6 offensive boards per game. So, Atlanta will do a great job defending their glass and preventing Boston from getting second chance scoring opportunities.

For Atlanta, forward Josh Smith, is listed as probable for this game with a knee injury. Tracy McGrady, who had a huge Game 3, before rolling an ankle on the heel of Rondo after a three point shot attempt, is listed as probable. Cebnter, Zaza Pachulia is listed as doubtful with s foot injury.

For Boston, guard Ray Allen is probable for Sunday?s game with a tender ankle. He played 38 minutes on that ankle and at his age, it does become difficult to come back from a game like was played on Friday. Avery Bradley will play, but is listed as questionable with the shoulder injury.

The Bottom line is that ATlanta is younger, faster, and has the personnel and bench to wear down the Celtics in the second half of this game. Atlanta will look to force the pace of play on every opportunity and I strongly believe they will be successful and win the game.

Take the Atlanta Hawks for a 10* graded Titan play.
