Monday's Tips
By Kevin Rogers

Grizzlies at Wizards – 7:05 PM EST

Memphis: 33-25 SU, 26-30-2 ATS
Washington: 31-28 SU, 33-25-1 ATS

The Wizards are one of the hottest teams in the Eastern Conference right now, riding a six-game winning streak. Washington returns home following a pair of road victories at Toronto and Philadelphia, capped off by a 122-103 rout of the slumping 76ers as 11-point favorites. Since suffering a four-game ATS skid at home in January, the Wizards own a stellar 12-5-1 ATS record the last 18 contests, while Washington is 3-1 ATS the last four opportunities as an underdog at the Verizon Center.

The Grizzlies were a strong ‘under’ play when Marc Gasol returned to the lineup in January, but Memphis is currently in the midst of a six-game ‘over’ run. Memphis has alternated wins and losses in its last five contests, coming off Saturday’s comeback victory over Cleveland, outscoring the Cavs, 56-31 in the second half of a 110-96 triumph. The last time the Grizzlies and Wizards met up at FedEx Forum last month, Memphis held on for a 92-89 win, but Washington cashed as 4 ½-point underdogs.

Bulls at Nets – 7:35 PM EST

Chicago: 33-26 SU, 31-28 ATS
Brooklyn: 28-29 SU, 29-28 ATS

The Bulls are building up their seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs by the day, as Chicago routed a lifeless New York squad on Sunday, 109-90 as 6 ½-point favorites. Tom Thibodeau’s club are rolling by winning nine of its past 10 games, including a 4-1 SU/ATS record away from the United Center in this stretch. Chicago has had its way with Brooklyn this season, dominating the Nets twice, including a 95-78 triumph at Barclays Center on Christmas afternoon.

The Nets return to the Empire State following a 4-2 SU/ATS road trip since the All-Star break, as Brooklyn took care of Milwaukee as six-point favorites on Saturday, 107-98. Jason Kidd’s squad allowed 99 points or less in four of those six games, as Brooklyn looks to continue its winning ways at the Barclays Center. The Nets are riding a four-game hot streak at home, while covering three times in recent wins over the Pelicans, Bobcats, and Spurs.

Bobcats at Heat – 7:35 PM EST

Charlotte: 27-31 SU, 32-23-3 ATS
Miami: 42-14 SU, 26-28-23 ATS

The Heat goes for the four-game season sweep of the Bobcats on Monday, as Miami looks to extend its winning streak to eight games. In the previous meeting between these Southeast Division foes, the Heat needed overtime to hold off the Bobcats, 104-96 to pick up a front-door cover as 6 ½-point road favorites in mid-January. Miami has completely dominated Charlotte over the years, winning 15 consecutive times over the Bobcats, as the Bobcats last won at American Airlines Arena in January 2010.

The Bobcats may not be a threat in the Eastern Conference, but Charlotte is currently the seventh-seed in the playoff race. Charlotte’s four-game winning streak went up in flames in Friday’s 92-82 defeat at San Antonio as 8 ½-point underdogs, as Steve Clifford’s club trailed by two with 90 seconds left in regulation before falling apart late. The Bobcats have performed well in the role of a road underdog against teams off consecutive wins, posting a 7-2 ATS record in this situation, including outright victories at Golden State, Denver, and Toronto. Charlotte has responded off a straight-up loss since mid-January, going 7-1 ATS the last eight games off a defeat.

Wolves at Nuggets – 9:05 PM EST

Minnesota: 29-29 SU, 31-27 ATS
Denver: 25-33 SU, 24-34 ATS

Minnesota has slowly come back to life on its current five-game road trip, winning three of the first four contests to pull back to the .500 mark. The Wolves rallied past the Kings on Saturday night as 4 ½-point favorites, 108-97, while also getting back two of their top players, Kevin Martin (26 points) and Nikola Pekovic (20 points) back from injuries. Rick Adelman’s club has drilled the ‘under’ in three straight games, all with closing totals of 211 ½ or higher. Minnesota finally figured out Denver following two early-season losses to the Nuggets, as the Wolves ripped up Denver at the Target Center prior to the All-Star break, 117-90 as 6 ½-point favorites.

The Nuggets have spiraled out control with five consecutive defeats, but Brian Shaw’s team managed a cover as 12-point underdogs at Portland in a 102-96 setback on Saturday. Denver is 0-4 SU/ATS at the Pepsi Center since the All-Star break, while breaking the 100-point mark just twice in the last nine games. In the last eight contests at the Pepsi Center, the Nuggets have hit the ‘over’ just twice, as one of those ‘overs’ needed overtime in a 112-107 loss to Phoenix in the first game after the break.

Sports Wagers NHL

Columbus @ TORONTO
Columbus +103 over TORONTO
Regulation only. The Maple Leafs play their first home game since the Olympic break after opening up with two on the road after it. Not much has changed for the Leafs in that they are still living off some serious good fortune. In their first game back, Toronto was defeated by the Islanders 5-4 and were outshot 35-20. Ok, we’ll excuse them because many teams were flat in their first game back also. On Saturday, in perhaps its biggest game of the year to date, the Maple Leafs looked lost for the first 1½-periods and were quickly down 2-0 before a an extremely lucky tip-in by James Van Riemsdyk woke them up late in the first period. The Leafs were outshot in the first, 14-6. The Phil Kessel/James Van Riemsdyk/Tyler Bozak line has deservedly become one of the most feared in the NHL. However, teams that pay attention to detail, like the Jackets, are going to make life a lot more difficult for that trio. Toronto is the second worst in the NHL at the possession game. One of the primary factors for that has been Randy Carlyle's unwillingness to roll four lines because he doesn’t have NHL caliber players (unless you like two goons) on the fourth line to trust them enough with the game on the line. The Maple Leafs can’t keep playing the way they do (without the puck) and expect to win hockey games, especially down the stretch where good teams rise and bad teams fade.
The Jackets have played two games since the Olympics and like the Maple Leafs they were flat in their first game back, losing to New Jersey 5-2. However, they followed that up with a three-goal win over the Panthers while outshooting Florida, 37-20. Prior to the break, Columbus played at San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles and picked up three out of possible six tough points. Marion Gaborik is back and so is Nathan Horton. The Jackets rank 7th in the NHL in goals per game average and that was without Gaborik and Horton. Playing on one day’s rest, the Jackets have won four straight (4-0) and they are also 9-2 following a win. They are the vastly superior team taking back a tag, albeit a small one, against a Toronto team that is coming off a huge game against Montreal and that has the Rangers on deck in New York.
Our Pick
Columbus +103 (Risking 2 units - To Win: 2.06)

Calgary @ MINNESOTA
Calgary +183 over MINNESOTA
Situational betting is vital to success and while it doesn’t always work out, it’s one of the reasons why upsets happen so frequently in sports. You cannot take the human element out of anything and the outcome of sporting events is no different. The Wild are 2-0 since the break with wins over Edmonton and Vancouver. That win in Vancouver was big because that’s a rink that the Wild have been slaughtered in over the years. They also won in in extra time. Beating the Canucks is no great feat but for Minnesota it was a significant and satisfying victory. Still, the Wild managed just 23 shots on net and just a handful of scoring chances. The game prior in Edmonton, they managed a mere 21 shots on net against the NHL’s worst defensive team. Minnesota has huge games on deck against Dallas and St. Louis and could definitely be caught napping here. The Wild are tough defensively but they are one of the likeliest teams to suffer upsets because they are offensively challenged and overall just a very average club.
Calgary is on our radar because they remain one of the most undervalued squads in the NHL. Every publication and so-called expert is insisting that the Flames are a mess and should unload players at the deadline but that’s really not necessary. At the moment, the Flames have a solid prospect system. 2013 first-round pick Sean Monahan is going to be producing for years along with Joe Colborne and Mikael Backland. Recent call-up, Mikael Granlund has not looked a bit out of place in two games and Calgary’s defense is pretty good with Mark Giordano (undoubtedly one of the games most underrated players), Dennis Wideman and T.J. Brodie. Yeah, the Flames are flawed and still a long way from being contenders but they are headed in the right direction, they play their hearts out every single night and they are very capable of beating almost anyone in favorable situations. Calgary has won seven of its last 10 games and they have allowed two goals or less in five straight and six of their past seven. They are quietly putting together a very decent run and it would be of no surprise to us if they keep it going here. At this price in a favorable spot, the risk is worth the reward.
