WINNING POINTS

PRO BASKETBALL

**PREFERRED
Boston over *Miami by 1
The Heat return home following a six-game, two-week road trip that just finished last
night at Atlanta. So even though Miami has revenge for a shocking one-point loss to
Boston back in November, it's going to be tough for the Heat to have their total focus
returning home after being gone for so long. The Heat are just 3-7 ATS during their
past 10 home contests.
BOSTON 97-96.

*Brooklyn over Orlando by 5
The Magic rank near the bottom in scoring points in the paint so don't look for them
to take advantage of the Nets missing Brook Lopez. Brooklyn was 5-0 ATS in its last
five home games.
BROOKLYN 99-94.

*New Orleans over Sacramento by 7
Tyreke Evans won't lack for motivation facing his former team. He had 25 points and
12 assists when the Pelicans defeated the Kings in Sacramento, 113-100, on Dec. 23.
This is Sacramento's fifth of six consecutive road games.
NEW ORLEANS 110-103.

*Oklahoma City over Portland by 2
Both teams have been on the decline this month. Oklahoma City has had less ball
movement since Russell Westbrook went out again. LaMarcus Aldridge has been challenging Kevin Durant as the best player in the Western Conference.
OKLAHOMA CITY 108-106.

Minnesota over *Utah by 3
The two teams just met at Minnesota on Saturday. Utah has covered just 41 percent
of its first 18 home games.
MINNESOTA 103-100.

Connecticut* over Temple by 11

Missouri over LSU* by 3

Texas* over Kansas State by 2

**PREFERRED
Michigan State* over Indiana by 20
The Spartans asserted themselves early, maintained control late, in an earlier win at
Indiana. That should tell the Hoosiers that they shouldn’t bother to show up, or that
they should pack it in at the first sign of adversity and save their energy for another
night.
MICHIGAN STATE, 80-60.

Wright State* over Wisconsin-Milwaukee by 7

Harvard over Florida Atlantic* by 10

Missouri State* over Evansville by 7

Florida State* over Notre Dame by 12
Our Executive Club has been enjoying Notre Dame’s life post-Duke win, with starred
winners on NC State and Georgia Tech. Wouldn’t touch the Irish with a 10-foot pole,
or Irishman.
FLORIDA STATE, 72-60.

SMU* over Rutgers by 8

Pittsburgh* over Clemson by 11

Boston College* over Georgia Tech by 1

Kentucky* over Texas A&M by 15
Calipari to visitor: ‘You beat us here by double-digits last season. We must now make
you pay!’
KENTUCKY, 74-59.

Butler over Providence* by 4

Purdue over Northwestern* by 4

New Mexico* over Boise State by 10
Smallish visitor had better make their shots because there won’t be many second shots. Size edge for the home side.

The Pelicans are dealing with injuries at the moment, but have covered four of their last five games. New Orleans held off Memphis last night as eight-point road underdogs, 95-92, snapping an eight-game losing streak. The Kings head to the Big Easy for the fifth game of a six-game road trip, coming off consecutive losses at Oklahoma City and Memphis. Sacramento owns a dreadful 0-8 SU and 2-6 ATS record on the road against teams off a win this season, while losing at home to New Orleans last month. I'll back the Pelicans here to grab the home win.

The Jazz and Wolves are meeting for the second time since Saturday night, as Minnesota blew out Utah, 98-72. Gordon Heyward is expected to back in the lineup tonight for Utah after missing the last five games with a hip injury. The Jazz has performed well off a loss recently, winning seven straight games off a defeat, while winning five of their last six games at home. The Wolves have struggled off a win of late, losing six of seven games off a victory, while going 2-5 in their last seven games away from Target Center. I'll back Utah here as a home dog.

The Blazers were run out early by the Rockets in last night's 126-113 loss, as Houston shot lights out. The Rockets knocked down 16 three-pointers, while starting 10-of-13 from downtown in a 71-point first half. Portland heads to Oklahoma City tonight, as the Blazers have beaten the Thunder twice this season, including a comeback victory at OKC on New Year's Eve. The Thunder tries to close out a perfect 3-0 homestand tonight, while heading to San Antonio tomorrow night for the second of a back-to-back. Portland is 9-2 ATS this season as an underdog, while winning nine of 11 games with no rest. I'll take the points with the Blazers.

GamingToday's Consensus Picks January 21, 2014 3:01 AM by GT Staff

NBA Basketball

502 Miami Heat -9½: It’s not Monday, Monday but Tuesday, Tuesday for the Miami Heat and they have loved Tuesday this year going 10-2 SU and ATS and our Parry’s NBA Basketball Power Guide has them as a -13 point favorite.

507 Portland Trailblazers +5½: This will be like a playoff game as these two West Powers looking for the best record, the Blazers are a must take with the points as they have gone 9-1 ATS as a dog this year.

NHL Hockey

52 Columbus Blue Jackets -105: Columbus playing great with six straight wins are home and rested and catch the traveling Kings off loss in Boston yesterday.

NCAA Basketball

515 Kansas State +5: We will ride the hot Wildcats in this dog situation and Parry’s NCAA Basketball Power Guide has them three points better than the Longhorns on the road.

518 Michigan State -12: The Power Guide has Mich. State winning by 20 points.

537 Purdue -2: Not good to be on the road as a favorite in the Big Ten just ask Ohio State, but in this spot we must lay the bucket against lowly Northwestern.

NHL Hockey Play of the Day January 21, 2014 3:01 AM by GT Staff

Ottawa Senators at Washington Capitals -135 at 4:05 p.m. PST

This is one of our very high percentage plays in the NHL as we get the home team Capitals with rest sitting on a five game losings streak as the Senators come to town and as usual the Senators get nothing done in Washington.

54 Washington Capitals -135
