NBA | May 03 '13 (7:05p) NEW YORK GM6 vs BOSTON GM6	BOSTON GM6 +2-105 at BetOnline
15* Celtics/Knicks ESPN Game 6 No-Brainer on Boston +2 The New York Knicks have awoken a sleeping giant. From J.R. Smith saying the series would be over if he had played in Game 4, to the black clothing the Knicks showed up in in Game 5 signifying Boston's funeral, they couldn't possibly be any more stupid. Boston is a team that will never quit as long as Doc Rivers is head coach. This team will show even more fight than it did in Games 4 and 5 in Game 6 tonight in front of a raucous home crowd. I look for the Celtics to win Game 6, and to have an excellent chance to be the first team to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. Remember, New York hasn't won a playoff series since 2000, so all of the pressure is on the Knicks. It's not going to be easy to win in Boston where the Celtics are 28-14 SU & 23-18-1 ATS on the season. The Celtics are 14-6 ATS in their last 20 home games. Boston is 15-7 ATS in its last 22 games vs. a team with a winning S.U. record. The Knicks are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 Conference Quarterfinals games. Roll with the Celtics Friday.

NBA | May 03 '13 (9:35p) LA CLIPPERS GM6 vs MEMPHIS GM6	LA CLIPPERS GM6 +6½-110 at 5dimes
25* Western Conference Playoffs GAME OF THE YEAR on Los Angeles Clippers +6.5 The Los Angeles Clippers are showing their best value of the entire series tonight as a 6.5-point road underdog in Game 6 to the Memphis Grizzlies. They aren't going to go down without a fight, not with Chris Paul running the show. Yes, Memphis has owned this series for the last three games, but I look for Los Angeles to make the proper adjustments tonight. They haven't gotten anything from their bench as Chris Paul has had to do it all. I look for the bench and role players to finally step up and contribute with their season on the line. Los Angeles is 39-24 ATS revenging a loss vs opponent over the last 2 seasons. Better yet, the Clippers are 18-7 ATS when playing with double revenge - 2 straight losses vs. opponent over the last 2 seasons. The Clippers are 13-6 ATS in their last 19 games playing on 2 days rest. Los Angeles is 8-3 ATS in its last 11 games following a double-digit loss at home. Memphis is simply overvalued tonight. Bet the Clippers Friday.

NBA | May 03 '13 (9:35p) OKLAHOMA CITY GM6 vs HOUSTON GM6

HOUSTON GM6 -1-110 at BMaker

20* Thunder/Rockets ESPN Late-Night BAILOUT on Houston -1 The Houston Rockets continue to get disrespected by oddsmakers in Game 6 tonight. They have been the better team in the last four games, and clearly in the last three since Russell Westbrook went down with injury. I believe Houston has an excellent chance to become the first NBA team to come back from a 3-0 deficit to win a series. They now have advantages all over the floor over Oklahoma City that they did not have when Westbrook was healthy. Westbrook's absence forces Kevin Durant to play the point-forward position, which he is extremely uncomfortable in. The loss of Westbrook clearly shows how good of a player he really is, but it's not being reflected in the odds tonight. Houston is 30-13 at home this season where it is outscoring opponents by 7.0 points/game. The Thunder are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 after scoring 100 points or more in their previous game. Oklahoma City is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 meetings in Houston. Take the Rockets Friday. MLB Baseball Premium Picks MLB | May 03 '13 (8:40p) Tampa Bay Rays vs Colorado Rockies Tampa Bay Rays -123 at 5dimes 15* MLB Friday No-Doubt Rout on Tampa Bay Rays -123 With the huge edge the Tampa Bay Rays have over the Colorado Rockies on the mound tonight, they should be a much heavier favorite in Game 1 of this interleague series. I'll gladly take advantage and back them at a great price. Tampa Bay starter Matt Moore has arguably been the Cy Young in the American League to this point. The flame-throwing left-hander is 5-0 with a 1.12 ERA and 0.875 WHIP with 38 strikeouts in 32 innings over five starts this season. Moore will be up against the washed-up Jeff Francis, who has simply been atrocious this season for Colorado. The left-hander is 1-2 with a 7.29 ERA and 1.952 WHIP in five starts this year, allowing 17 earned runs and 41 base runners over 21 innings. Colorado is 0-9 (-10.7 Units) against the money line in home games vs. AL teams allowing 4.7 or less runs/game on the season over the last 2 seasons. The Rockies are 0-11 (-12.7 Units) against the money line vs. an AL team with a team batting average of .265 or worse over the last 2 seasons. These two trends combine for a 20-0 system backing the Rays. Also, Tampa is 22-6 in its last 28 vs. a left-handed starter. Take the Rays Friday. MLB | May 03 '13 (10:15p) Los Angeles Dodgers vs San Francisco Giants Los Angeles Dodgers -133 at 5dimes 15* Dodgers/Giants NL Late-Night BAILOUT on Los Angeles -133 The Los Angeles Dodgers have a massive edge on the mound tonight. Rarely will you ever get them at this kind of price with Clayton Kershaw on the mound, so I'm going to take advantage in Game 1 vs. San Francisco Friday. The 2011 NL Cy Young winner is going after the award again in 2013. Kershaw is 3-2 with a 1.73 ERA and 0.912 WHIP with 47 strikeouts over 41 2/3 innings this season. The left-hander is 9-4 with a 1.29 ERA and 0.833 WHIP in 17 career starts against San Francisco. Barry Zito is getting way too much respect from oddsmakers due to pitching well in the playoffs, and getting off to a solid start this year. However, Zito has finally come back down to reality of late, going 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA and 1.1724 WHIP over his last three starts. The Dodgers are 5-0 in their last 5 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600. Los Angeles is 38-14 in Kershaw's last 52 starts as a favorite. The Dodgers are 20-6 in Kershaw's last 26 starts vs. a team with a winning record. Los Angeles is 5-1 in Kershaw's last 6 road starts vs. San Francisco. Bet the Dodgers Friday.

Celtics +2 over Knicks
From JR Smith talking trash when the Knicks were up 3-0 to the Knicks wearing all black to the game representing going to a funeral ending the Celtics season. I don't like this team. They have talent, but they are a bunch of screw ups to put it nicely. Boston is an experienced team and they have the extra motivation at home. I think Boston takes this game and things will get real interesting back in New York. There is nothing worst than a bunch of cocky over paid millionaires. Take the Celtics

Thunder +1 over Rockets
Houston has looked great in their two wins, but the Thunder are too good of a team to toy around tonight. You are going to see their best effort this evening and this is where we will see Kevin Duarant and this OKC Defense at their very best today. Houston can shoot the ball well, but their defense is not good enough to win a series. This should be a tight game, but we will see the better team step up down the stretch. Take the Thunder.

Rays -135 over Rockies
Moore/Francis
I don't think people realize how good Matt Moore is for Tampa. This guy still is not yet a house hold name, but he will be very soon. Jeff Francis to me comes no where close to Moore when you match these guys up. Tampa only has 4 road wins on there year and Moore has three of those. I love watching this guy pitch and think Tampa gets a big win here. Take the Rays.

Wunderdog Sports Free Pick

Game: Ottawa at Montreal (7:00 PM Eastern)
Pick: Ottawa +130 (moneyline)

Game One heated this rivalry up with some bloodied hits, and a three goal barrage in the third period gave Ottawa home ice advantage heading for Game Two in Montreal. The Canadians may have the wrong focus here, as they may intend to get even from a hit they claimed dirty by Ottawa's Eric Gryber. Montreal has larger concerns, though, as goaltender Carey Price allowed three goals. Over the last 11 games, he has allowed three or more goals in eight of them. He has also been marginal at best in the playoffs where he stands at 8-16. The Senators literally drew first blood in the series and has won five straight on the road, while Montreal falls to 1-5 in their last six quarterfinals Games. Play is on Ottawa.
