Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers The Boston Celtics (31-27, 25-30-3 ATS) are looking to strengthen their playoff positioning as they pay a visit to the struggling Philadelphia 76ers (23-35, 37-31 ATS) at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA Tuesday night at 7:05 ET on TNT. The Celtics are currently the seventh seeds in the Eastern Conference, 1 games ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks, who hold the eighth and final playoff spot, and more importantly eight games ahead of these 76ers in ninth. Philadelphia is showing no signs of a team that wants to make the playoffs, as the Sixers have lost eight of their last nine games.Boston in finally in a favorable scheduling spot after a recent road trip vs. the Western Conference that saw the Celtics play five road games in seven days, and to show the heart that this veteran team has, it actually won the final game of that compressed trip in overtime at Utah last Monday! Now this is only their second game since then as they beat the Golden State Warriors back home in Beantown 94-86 on Friday. Instead of falling apart when it was learned that Rajon Rondo would be lost for the season, the Celtics have actually rallied and risen in the conference standings by going 11-4 both straight up and ATS since he went down. Boston has averaged 99.3 points per game while allowing just 94.5 over those last 15 games without their All-Star point guard, both improvements over where they were with him as they are now averaging 96.1 points and allowing 95.9 over the entire season. This is also a big game for Boston as it has tougher games vs. Indiana, Atlanta and Oklahoma City following this one, so the Celtics would love to knock the 76ers further back in this head-to-head battle as they may have a tough time extending their lead in the coming games. Then again, the Sixers seem to be more prepared to "earn" a lottery pick instead of a playoff spot! The 76ers out the brakes on a seven-game losing streak vs. the Warriors on Saturday, but they then returned to their brutal offensive form, shooting 38.8 percent from the floor in a 90-87 loss at Washington on Sunday. Philadelphia is ranked second to last in the NBA in scoring at 92.0 points per game, a mere 0.1 point better than the Wizards in 30th, and the Sixers are 23rd in shooting percentage at 44.0 percent. Granted they rank a good seventh in points against at 95.7 per game, but even that is a drop off from the great defense Philadelphia played last season, when it ranked third in the NBA in points against at a tiny 89.4 per game, trailing only Chicago and these Celtics. Furthermore, when the 76ers scored 104 points in their win over the Warriors Saturday, it marked the only time in the last 14 games that they have reached the century mark and they are averaging a dreadful 86.2 points per game in the other 13 contests! Besides their aforementioned 11-4 ATS run without Rondo, the Celtics are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games following a straight up win. The 76ers are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games vs. teams with winning straight up records.
Pick: BOSTON CELTICS-2.5

Indian Cowboy's Picks For College Basketball

4-Unit Play. #532. Take Missouri -10 over Arkansas (Monday @ 7pm est).

Missouri has a lot of revenge coming into this game against Arkansas. This is a team that only has 6 losses this year in SEC play and that includes an overtime loss to Kentucky on the road, losing to Arkansas 73-71 on the road where the Razorbacks are very tough to play at home (Florida and Kentucky both found that out), lost to A&M by 2 points on the road, lost to Florida by 31 on the road (to which they got revenge by winning at home by 3 points) and losing to Ole Miss by 15 on the road to which they got revenge by winning by 19 at home. Such is the case here as they face an Arkansas team who although is dynamic at home, is 1-8 overall on the road. This includes losses to LSU by 5 on the road who is a top 100 team, losing to Florida by 17 which you can't hold that against them as Florida has revenge and is a top cailber team, losing to top 75 Vanderbilt by 18 on the road, losing to top 50 Ole Miss by 12 on the road and losing to South Carolina by 21 on the road who is outside the top 100. Missouri has done well on revenge games such as beating Ole Miss by nearly 20 at home, beating Florida Outright at home and now they get to do the same against Arkansas who they lost by just a bucket on the road and they seek that revenge today. With Arkansas coming off an emotional and big win against Kentucky, I wouldn't be surprised to see them have a let down and Missouri to put together a strong effort this evening and likely win this game by double-digits.

Leans: Loyola-Chicago, Illinois-Chicago, Alabama-Ole Miss Under


Indian Cowboy's Picks For NBA Basketball

1-0 this week after the Magic +9.5 yesterday as they win Outright at New Orleans, let's try to go 2-0 this week.

4-Unit Play. #506. Take Over 221 Denver vs. Sacramento (Tuesday @ 10:05pm est).

I think Sacramento probably wins this game Outright and you are getting 5 points here to boot. Having said that, I think they will be an Outright underdog and the safer play might be the Over here rather than an Outright play on the Kings grabbing the points. For as good as Denver is at home 26-3, they are a 13-19 away from home and this includes a series of losses of late to Brooklyn, Washington, Toronto and Boston. But, if the Kings can push Denver here and I think they can, given the revenge they have from losing 121-93 earlier this year on the road, given that Denver comes off a revenge win against Atlanta and could be in for a let down (not so much tired legs but just a let down with Sacramento having revenge), this is not a bad play here on the Kings on late night television to bury the public a bit and to be that Underdog that seeks the revenge. The public is of course on Denver to a tune of 77% here but don't be a bit surprised to see the Kings win this game Outright and more importantly, take this game over the posted total while in the process. The Kings finally came back home and trounced Charlotte, took Miami to Overtime, hammered the Magic and as they are at home here against the Nuggets, look for them to push Denver to the limit. If Denver/Portland went to 220 recently in Portland and Denver/Charlotte went to 212 - and Denver/Washington went to 232, don't be surprised to see this as a high scoring game. I think Sacramento wins this game Outright, more importantly, I think this game goes over the posted total.

Leans: Sacramento +5, Philadelphia +2 (good public fade, prob win Outright),


Indian Cowboy's Picks For NHL Hockey

4-Unit Play. #59. Take Montreal -120 over New York Islanders (Tuesday @ 7:05pm est).

Montreal sports the 5th best offense and defense in the league and as they come off a big win over Boston winning 4-3 on the road, all the while getting into a verbal argument about flopping with the Boston coaching staff who accused Montreal of essentially of flopping, look for the Canadiens to continue to play well here on the road against the Islanders. The Islanders have the 29th best defense in the league and although they will play better at home, as they come off a win against Ottawa, I can see them having some difficult putting together back to back wins. Montreal lost to this team 3-4 in overtime earlier this year and considering this team is 14-4-4 this year, those losses have been relatively rare. Look for Montreal to remember that loss, to play well with revenge, support their coach a bit by playing well, and the fact they are 5-1 in their last 6 road games whereas the Islanders are 0-4 when facing teams with a winning percentage of greater than 60%, make for a decent opportunity for the Canadiens to do well as they are 5-2 against teams with losing records this season. The Islanders certainly have talent but per this game I like Montreal here with the revenge and to stand up for their coach with competent play.

Leans: Boston, (off a loss, revenge from last year, + they likely will come to the defense of their coach from the media dissent between the Montreal head coach and the Boston head coach), Buffalo, Chicago Puck-Line, Vancouver

Robert Ferringo's Picks For NHL Hockey

3-Unit Pick Take #67 Minnesota (+1.60) over Chicago (8:35 pm, Tuesday, March 5th)

The watch is on as the Blackhawks extending their streak without a regulation loss to 22 games after Patrick Kane tied the game at one goal apiece with 2:02 remaining in the game before winning in a shoot out 2-1 at Detroit on Sunday. The thing about this streak is every game is going to get harder with every team they play now wanting to be the team to knock the Hawks off. The Wild have a very good chance to do just that, Minnesota is playing much better hockey. The Wild added some new faces via free agency and some young talent from the minors and have now started to show the team they can be winning seven of their last eleven games that includes winning five of their last seven. The offence has picked up averaging 2.75 goals a game over their last eight and have put thirty or more shots on net in four of their last five games. The Hawks are good and this is one impressive run but are coming
off a max effort against a rival like Detroit and here comes the quiet Minnesota Wild who is playing better hockey and has beat the Blackhawks in a shootout with the Wild playing in the second of back to back games. Price is generous on a good hockey team right now.

2-Unit Pick Take #57 Buffalo (+1.10) over Carolina (7pm, Tuesday, March 5th)

The third meeting between these two after Carolina won both of back to back meetings in the beginning of the season. Some things have changed mainly the firing of long time Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff. The Sabres have started to play better under Ron Rolston winning three straight games before losing in a shoot out but still gaining a point vs the Rangers on Sunday. Carolina has played well coming in here off of sweeping beat up and young Florida team in back to back games Saturday and Sunday. The Sunday win was costly losing starting goalie Cam Ward for six to eight weeks with a knee injury. The Sabres on the other hand will be getting back leading point getter Thomas Vanek from injury. I think tonight Buffalo is the better team and at a small plus price on the road I will back them against the Hurricanes third string goaltender.

2-Unit Pick Take over (5.5) Philadelphia at New York Rangers (7:35 pm, Tuesday, March 5th)

Third meeting of the year between two teams that were battling last year for the top spot in the east and now find themselves battling for the eight spot right now. The Flyers are playing better winning five of the last seven games with the offense playing much better after a slow start. The Rangers have won two straight and have put together three straight games where the offence has put up ten goals over the last three games with their once dorminant power play converting on 3 of their last 8 chances.These two have already played twice this year with each winning on their home ice by identical 2-1 scores but they combined for over 100 shots in those two games. I think we will see a much wide open style of hockey but this price reflects the two games from earlier this year, look for this one to be much different and get over this (5.5) total.

NCAA-B | Mar 05 '13 (7:00p) Illinois vs Iowa	Iowa -3½-109 at 5dimes
20* Big Ten GAME OF THE MONTH on Iowa -3.5 This is a must-win game for the Iowa Hawkeyes tonight as they host the Illinois Fighting Illini. At 18-11 overall and 7-9 in Big Ten play, Iowa needs a big finish to get into the NCAA Tournament. It needs a win tonight, at home against Nebraska, and in the first round of the Big Ten Tournament and it will likely be in as it would move above .500 in the brutal Big Ten. Illinois comes in overvalued due to having won six of its last seven games overall. Most of those victories have come against Big Ten bottom feeders in Purdue, Northwestern, Penn State and Nebraska. This team should not be getting this much respect on the road tonight. That's especially the case considering how well Iowa has played at home this season. It is 14-2 inside of Carver Hawkeye Arena while outscoring opponents by a whopping 16.8 points/game. It has home wins over NCAA Tournament contenders in Minnesota (72-51), Wisconsin (70-66) and Iowa State (80-71). Iowa is 5-0 ATS in its last 5 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Hawkeyes are 6-0 ATS in home games after a game where they covered the spread this season. Iowa is 7-0 ATS after allowing 30 points or less in the first half in 2 straight games this season. The Hawkeyes are 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600. These four trends combine for a perfect 25-0 system backing the Hawkeyes. Bet Iowa Tuesday.

NCAA-B | Mar 05 '13 (7:00p) ST. JOHNS vs NOTRE DAME	NOTRE DAME -9½-110 at BetOnline
15* Big East GAME OF THE NIGHT on Notre Dame -9.5 The Notre Dame Fighting Irish have a ton of reasons to be motivated for a victory tonight over the St. Johns Red Storm. I like their chances of getting a double-digit blowout victory with everything they have working in their favor tonight. First, this is Senior Night for the Fighting Irish. Jack Cooley should be motivated for his final home game on what figures to be an emotional night since sixth-year forward Scott Martin will also be honored. Martin has been shut down indefinitely since Jan. 21 due to his recurring knee problems. Cooley was held scoreless for the first time in 57 games in a 72-64 loss at then-No. 22 Marquette on Saturday. He hadn't practiced the previous two days and was on an IV because of the flu. He played just 15 minutes against the Golden Eagles before being shut down as he simply wasn't himself. Healthy now, and motivated to bounce back from that defeat, I look for a huge game from Cooley in this one. Adding fuel to the fire is the fact that the Fighting Irish have lost three straight to St. Johns heading into this one, including a 63-67 road loss to the Red Storm in their first meeting of the season on January 15th. All three of their losses during this skid have come on the road, but the Irish return home for revenge. Notre Dame is 16-2 at home this season where it is outscoring opponents by 12.9 points/game. St. Johns is just 4-6 in true road games this season. The Red Storm figure to be an easier opponent Tuesday as losers of four of five. D'Angelo Harrison, averaging 17.8 points to rank among the conference's leaders, was suspended for the rest of the season Friday by coach Steve Lavin. St. Johns is 0-7 ATS after a game committing 8 or less turnovers over the last 2 seasons. The Red Storm are 1-9 ATS after a loss by 6 points or less over the last 3 seasons. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. These three trends combine for a 20-1 system backing the Irish. Also, the home team has won nine of the last 10 meetings with the Irish winning each of their last three home meetings by 13 points or more. Take Notre Dame Tuesday.

NCAA-B | Mar 05 '13 (7:00p) BOSTON COLLEGE vs CLEMSON	CLEMSON -4-110 at 5dimes
15* ACC GAME OF THE NIGHT on Clemson -4 The Boston College Eagles are coming off a big come-from-behind 53-52 home victory over NCAA Tournament contender Virginia on Sunday. Off such a huge upset, I look for the Eagles to fail to show up tonight when they travel to Clemson to take on the Tigers for a second time this season. Clemson has every reason to be motivated tonight. It wants revenge from a 68-75 loss at Boston College on February 2nd in their first meeting of the season. This is also Senior Night for the Tigers as they clearly want to send out their seniors with one final home victory. Home-court advantage has been huge in this series between Boston College and Clemson. In fact, the home team has won 11 of the last 12 meetings dating back to 2003 with the Tigers being the only team to nab a road win in 2009. Clemson is 5-0 in its last 5 home meetings with Boston College dating back to 2003. All five victories have come by 8 points or more and by an average of 16 points/game. The Tigers are 31-13 ATS in home games after failing to cover the spread in 2 or more consecutive games since 1997. Clemson is 58-37 ATS after 2 or more consecutive losses since 1997. The Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Roll with Clemson Tuesday.

NCAA-B | Mar 05 '13 (8:00p) Texas Christian vs KANSAS STATE	KANSAS STATE -21-106 at 5dimes
15* Big 12 GAME OF THE NIGHT on Kansas State -21 Looking to regain a share of the conference lead, the Kansas State Wildcats will absolutely crush the TCU Horned Frogs at home tonight. This is also Senior Night for the Wildcats, meaning this will be the final home game for leading scorer Rodney McGruder (14.9 PPG) as well as Jordan Henriquez and Martavious Irving. Kansas State clearly wont be lacking any motivated tonight as it looks to build on its 15-1 home record this year. It is outscoring opponents by a whopping 18.0 points/game at home. TCU is just 1-9 in true road games, getting outscored by 16.2 points/game. TCU made its season by beating Kansas 62-55 at home on February 6th as a 17-point underdog. It has clearly packed it in since and is simply playing out its season. That's evident by the fact that the Horned Frogs are 0-7 SU & 0-7 ATS in their last 7 games overall, which includes losses at Oklahoma (48-75), Iowa State (53-87) and Kansas (48-74). The Horned Frogs are 0-9 ATS after having lost 6 or 7 of their last 8 games this season. TCU is 0-6 ATS revenging a same season loss vs opponent this season. The Horned Frogs are 0-7 ATS after 4 straight games forcing opponent to commit 14 or less turnovers this season. TCU is 0-6 ATS in its last 6 road games. These five trends combine for a perfect 35-0 system backing the Wildcats. Bet Kansas State Tuesday.

NBA | Mar 05 '13 (10:05p) Denver Nuggets vs Sacramento Kings

Total 223 un-102 at 5dimes

15* NBA Tuesday Total ANNIHILATOR on Nuggets/Kings UNDER 223 The books have clearly set the bar too high tonight in this game between the Denver Nuggets and Sacramento Kings. The betting public has been jumping all over the OVER in this contest, providing us with ample value to go against the grain and back the UNDER tonight folks. Just one look at the season averages for these teams and it's easy to see that this number has been inflated. Denver is scoring 105.5 points/game and allowing 101.6 points/game this season, combining with its opponents for 207.1 points/game. Sacramento is scoring 98.5 points/game and allowing 104.9 points/game, combining with its foes for 203.4 points/game. A look at the recent history between these teams and it's also easy to see that the number is inflated. Not counting overtime, Sacramento and Denver have combined for 219 or fewer points in seven straight meetings dating back to 2011. They have combined to average 205.7 points/game at the end of regulation in those seven meetings, which is roughly 17 points less than tonight's posted total. This will be the third meeting of the season between these teams, and familiarity favors lower-scoring games. Denver won both meetings 121-93 at home and 122-97 on the road. The first meeting had a posted total of 204.5, with the second being 212.5. Now, in the third meeting, the books have set the number 18.5 points higher (223), providing us with plenty of value to pull the trigger on the UNDER. Take the UNDER in this game Tuesday
