20* Pacers/Heat Game 7 ANNIHILATOR on Indiana +7.5

The Indiana Pacers have been an extremely resilient team. They came together with a 91-77 victory in Game 6 in the face of elimination. While the Pacers are a team coming together heading into Game 7, the Heat seem to be falling apart at the seams.

Dwyane Wade wants a bigger role. Chris Bosh wants a bigger role. This has led to some turmoil within their locker room, and I simply like the mindset of the Pacers better heading into this Game 7. Miami has all of the pressure on its shoulders considering it is the favorite to win the title.

Indiana comes in as the underdog with almost no pressure on its shoulders. David West had a 103-degree temperature in Game 6, but he played through it and scored 11 points while grabbing 14 very important rebounds. The team rallied around him, and once again this moment has brought them closer together.

"We've got to do a good job of making sure me and Chris have our opportunities to succeed throughout the game," Wade said. Wade has scored a total of 20 points the past two games. He was 3 of 11 for 10 points in Game 6.

Bosh averaged 16.3 points on 11 shots in the series' first three games. In the three games since, he's averaging just 6.3 points on seven shots a game. Bosh was 1-of-8 shooting for just five points in Saturday's loss.

"We've got guys individually who want to play better," Wade said. "But we've got to try to help each other out in this locker room and not leave it up to the individual to self-will it."

"I mean, we can state the obvious; they're both struggling," Lebron James said of Wade and Bosh. "When you're struggling, the best thing to get is a layup or a dunk. [Wade] missed a couple of them ... Chris is struggling with his shot and him hurting his ankle didn't help."

Indiana is 16-7 ATS (+8.3 Units) off a home win by 10 points or more this season. Miami is 4-13 ATS (-10.3 Units) in home games after playing a road game this season. The Pacers are 10-4 ATS in their last 14 games overall. The Heat are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games. Bet the Pacers in Game 7 Monday.

Bruins at Penguins: What bettors need to know

Boston Bruins at Pittsburgh Penguins (-180, 5.5)

Bruins lead best-of-seven series 1-0.

After losing their composure in the opener of the Eastern Conference final, Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins will look to keep their emotions in check on Monday as they attempt to even the series against the visiting Boston Bruins. Crosby openly questioned the officiating and reigning Hart Trophy winner Evgeni Malkin even dropped the gloves as the top-seeded Penguins suffered a 3-0 setback to the fourth-seeded Bruins on Saturday. "It's tough," said Crosby, who was penalized twice in Game 1. "They're letting a lot go out there, and the more it gets like that, the more it's going to escalate. You can only control and channel that stuff so much."

Tuukka Rask didn't have any trouble channeling his emotions as he turned aside all 29 shots he faced to record his first playoff shutout. David Krejci scored twice to increase his league-leading point total to 19 while Nathan Horton collected a goal and two assists in Saturday's triumph to improve to an NHL-best plus-17.

TV: 8 p.m. ET, NBC Sports, CBC, RDS

ABOUT THE BRUINS: Defenseman Andrew Ference didn't wait long to make a statement following a seven-game absence with a lower-body injury. Ference took an aggressive role by skating into the offensive zone before setting up Krejci's first goal at 8:23 of the first period. "Obviously it's nice, and it was very difficult to watch," Ference said of being a bystander. "It's a lot easier when you win and watch but you want to contribute, you want to be a part of it." Boston's defensemen have recorded 31 of the team's 110 points in the playoffs.

ABOUT THE PENGUINS: Tomas Vokoun didn't walk away with a victory in Game 1, but he did nothing the lose his spot as the team's starting goaltender in the eyes of coach Dan Bylsma. "We don't get this win, (but) the win and the loss isn't necessarily an indicator of what we're going to do with the goaltending situation," Bylsma said. Vokoun has posted a 6-2 mark with a 1.98 goals-against average and .937 save percentage since replacing Stanley Cup-winning netminder Marc-Andre Fleury prior to Game 6 of the first-round series versus the New York Islanders.

TRENDS:

*Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.
*Bruins are 23-3 in their last 26 Monday games.
*Penguins are 1-6 in their last seven games following a home loss of three or more goals.

OVERTIME

1. Pittsburgh LW Matt Cooke was not subjected to additional punishment from the league following his hit on Boston D Adam McQuaid. Cooke received a five-minute major and a game misconduct after drilling McQuaid from behind at 1:32 of the second period.

2. Krejci is tied with Crosby and Penguins LW Pascal Dupuis with seven goals - one shy of Chicago C Patrick Sharp for the league lead.

3. Both teams went 0-for-4 on the power play in Game 1.

Miami (other than James) was 16-51 in Game 6; Haslem was scoreless after going 8-9 from floor in Game 5. Huge question is this: who will be the Heat player to give Lebron some scoring support? Andersen comes back from suspension for Miami, which is 9-0 vs spread in game after its last nine losses, but Andersen isn't a scorer. Over is 7-3 in this round of playoffs, but last two games in this series stayed under. Stephenson is 14-31 from floor in three Indiana wins, 6-27 in its losses, but most of that damage was done in one game. Question: if Indiana is up a point in last 0:10 and Miami has ball, will Hibbert be on the floor? Ya think?

Monday, June 3

Bruins' Game 1 win ended six-game losing streak vs Pittsburgh; Boston won 32 of the 48 faceoffs in opener, their first win in last four visits here. Penguins are 5-2 at home so far in playoffs, with all three wins over Boston (3-1) this season by one goal. Both teams were 0-4 on power play in Game 1; Penguins are now 13-50, Bruins have killed 34 of 41 when a man down. Boston is 4-2 on road in the playoffs; they've won six of last seven games, streak that started with Game 7 win over Leafs, when they trailed 4-1 with 11:00 left. Over is 7-5 in Pitt's playoff games, 6-5-2 in Boston's. Penguins scored four of more goals in all eight of their playoff wins, 3-4-1-0 in their losses.

2 UNIT = Colorado Rockies @ Cincinnati Reds - ROCKIES TO WIN (+132)
Listed Pitchers: Chatwood vs Arroyo
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 2.64 units)

Colorado has won two straight games winning their weekend series vs the Dodgers to improve to 30-27 on the season (12-15 on the road). The Reds took the first two vs the Pirates but gave up a late lead yesterday to lose 5-4. They are 35-22 on the season and 20-7 at home. Tonight the Rockies send one of their biggest surprise pitchers to the mound tonight, as Tyler Chatwood takes the ball. He is 3-0 on the season over 5 starts with a 2.12 ERA, .266 OBA and 1.28 WHIP. Over his two road starts he is 2-0 and hasn't given up a run in 12 innings of work (@LAD and @SF). Also note he is 3-0 with a 1.14 ERA over 4 night starts. The Reds will have Bronson Arroyo getting the ball in game 1 of this series. He is 5-5 with a 3.75 ERA, .257 OBA and 1.17 WHIP. In his last two starts he hasn't had his best stuff allowing 14 hits and 8 earned runs over 11.2 innings of work. It was also interesting to note that Arroyo has a 1.59 ERA over 4 day games, but is just 2-5 with a 5.15 ERA over 7 night starts. Although Arroyo has 11 starts compared to 5 for Chatwood he has given up 9 homeruns so far this season, while Chatwood hasn't given up one. The Rockies are 4-1 in Chatwood's 5 starts this season while the Reds are 6-5 in Arroyo's 11 starts. Arroyo goes on 4 days rest and the Reds are 1-6 in his last 7 on 4 days rest. I like tonight's pitching match up for Colorado as Chatwood has looked good. Also mix in that the Rockies are 5th in the MLB in team batting average and team OBP and have scored 5+ runs in 4 straight games and I think we have a very live underdog at a good price. Take the Rockies tonight.
