Columbus Blue Jackets vs. San Jose Sharks Preview and Predictions 11-01-2018 in NHL

NHL Previews 31st October 2018 by Gracenote
Blue Jackets vs. Sharks Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 10/31/2018

The Columbus Blue Jackets have developed a troubling habit in the first month of the season of having to play from behind, one the team wants to eradicate entering a three-game road trip at the San Jose Sharks on Thursday night. Columbus is coming off a listless 5-3 loss at home to the Detroit Red Wings, giving up the first goal for the sixth time in the past seven games.

Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella was flustered by Tuesday's loss, a game in which his team fell into a three-goal hole in the first period before rallying to tie by scoring three times in the third. "You'll have to ask them," Tortorella said in a 57-second media briefing when asked if Columbus took lowly Detroit too lightly. "You'll have to ask them, the players." San Jose is riding a six-game point streak (4-0-2) following a 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Rangers but managed to snag a point on Tomas Hertl's goal with less than two seconds in regulation. "You're disappointed you didn't get two (points)," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. "When I wake up tomorrow, I'll look around the league and there's a lot of good teams that get beat in these situations and get nothing. We're finding a way."

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, FS Ohio (Columbus), NBCS California (San Jose)

ABOUT THE BLUE JACKETS (6-5-0): Forward Markus Hannikainen has appeared in only 50 games during his first four years and did not make his 2018-19 debut until a week ago at St. Louis, but he collected his first two points of the season by setting up a pair of goals against the Red Wings. "Some days the power play isn't scoring, or the first line isn't scoring, the second line isn't scoring, it's our job to score. Now we did it," Hannikainen said of the fourth line. "It doesn't matter what the minutes are, you have to make the most of it." Forward Josh Anderson scored his six goal Tuesday to tie Cam Atkinson for the team lead.

ABOUT THE SHARKS (6-3-3): San Jose's two hottest players, defenseman Brent Burns and forward Timo Meier, each extended their point streaks to a career-high nine games with a goal and an assist apiece in the loss to the Rangers. Burns set a franchise record for a defenseman by notching at least one point in nine consecutive games while Meier continue his torrid surge by scoring six times during a five-game goal streak. Veteran Joe Thornton returned to the lineup Tuesday after sitting out nine games due to an infection in his surgically repaired knee and was a minus-1 with one shot on goal in 14 minutes, 19 seconds.

OVERTIME

1. Burns and Meier are the second pair of San Jose teammates with simultaneous nine-game point streaks.

2. Blue Jackets F Brandon Dubinsky (oblique), out since the second game of the season, will accompany the team on the road trip.

3. Sharks Fs Logan Couture and Hertl each have points in seven straight games.

PREDICTION: Sharks 4, Blue Jackets 3

Philadelphia Flyers vs. Los Angeles Kings Preview and Predictions 11-01-2018 in NHL

NHL Previews 1st November 2018 by Gracenote
Flyers vs. Kings Preview and Predictions

by Gracenote on 11/01/2018

The Los Angeles Kings had little time to savor the flavor of snapping a six-game losing streak before digesting the news that franchise goaltender Jonathan Quick is out indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. Jack Campbell is expected to shoulder a bigger load in the absence of the former Conn Smythe Trophy winner, beginning Thursday against the visiting Philadelphia Flyers.

"Injuries do happen and not sure there's anything in particular you can point to in this situation," Los Angeles coach John Stevens said. A former first-round pick, Campbell overcame deflecting a centering feed into his own net on Sunday by turning aside 22 shots in a 4-3 victory over the New York Rangers to improve to 3-4-0 on the season. Philadelphia likely isn't interested in another team's goaltending issues considering its storied history at the position, but Brian Elliott managed to come up big on Tuesday with 23 saves in a 3-2 win over Anaheim. "We needed to change the direction of how we have been playing and (Tuesday was) a real good start to that," the 33-year-old netminder said after the Flyers ended a three-game skid in the opener of a four-game road trip.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, NBCS Philadelphia-Plus, FS West (Los Angeles)

ABOUT THE FLYERS (5-7-0): Aesthetically pleasing it was not, but Nolan Patrick got just enough on his low drive to snap a 2-2 tie with 1:51 remaining to help Philadelphia dump the Ducks. "One of the worst shots I've taken. I'm not going to lie to you guys and say I was aiming there," the second overall pick of the 2017 NHL Draft said. Patrick, who also had an assist and won 11 of 17 faceoffs, has scored three goals and set up another in his last five games after being held off the scoresheet and registering a munus-5 rating in the previous four.

ABOUT THE KINGS (3-7-1): Ilya Kovalchuk was held off the scoresheet in three straight games before scoring a power-play goal and adding two assists against the Rangers to move into a tie for the team lead in points (eight) with defenseman Drew Doughty. Signed to a three-year, $18.75 million contract, the 35-year-old Kovalchuk ravaged Philadelphia throughout his career (49 points in 49 encounters) -- including scoring four goals and setting up 10 others in 10 games spread over the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. That type of offense certainly would be welcome as the Kings have the league's worst offense (2.0 goals per game) and 28th-ranked power play 13.2 percent).

OVERTIME

1. Philadelphia C Sean Couturier's four goals this season have all been scored on the road.

2. Los Angeles C Jeff Carter, who is a former Flyer, has been held off the scoresheet in three straight games and eight of 11 this season.

3. Philadelphia captain Claude Giroux's 279 power-play points are one shy of Bill Barber for second place in franchise history.

PREDICTION: Flyers 3, Kings 2

Inside the Paint - Thursday
November 1, 2018
By Chris David

(Straight Up, Against the Spread)

Game of the Night (TNT, 8:05 p.m. ET)

Milwaukee (7-0 SU, 5-2 ATS) at Boston (5-2 SU, 3-4 ATS)

Thursday’s top NBA matchup between the Bucks and Celtics will be a rematch of last year’s Eastern Conference first round playoff series. Boston defeated Milwaukee in seven games as the home team held serve in every contest, which included a 112-96 win by the Celtics in Game 7.

Fast forward six months and Milwaukee has had an incredible start to its 2018-19 campaign and it lays claim to the last unbeaten team in the NBA. Six of its seven victories have come by double digits, which includes a 124-109 win over Toronto on Tuesday.

After starting the season 2-2, the Celtics have ripped off three straight wins and they’re doing so with defense. Boston is allowing 97.6 points per game, ranked first in the league and the only team to hold anybody under the century mark. Make a note that Milwaukee (104.1 PPG) isn’t far behind defensively.

The largest improvement thus far for the Bucks is their offense, which is averaging 120 PPG and that’s a huge increase from the 106.1 PPG production last season. Boston (102.4 PPG) hasn’t shot the ball well all season but their last two efforts (109, 108) in wins over Detroit were the highest marks this season.

VegasInsider.com NBA expert Tony Mejia weighed in on the showdown from TD Garden tonight.

Mejia said, “Giannis Antetokounmpo clearing concussion protocol means we get to see where the Bucks sit in the East pecking order immediately, especially if Jaylen Brown is able to participate for Boston. The addition of Brook Lopez and Ersan Ilyasova allows Greek Freak to concentrate on attacking the paint since both bigs spread the floor so well and drag opposing frontcourt defenders out to the perimeter. In this case, Al Horford and Aron Baynes will be affected.”

“It’s a short sample size, but it should be pointed out that the Magic upset the Celtics in Boston with Nikola Vucevic shooting 11-for-18 and showing off a great touch from the outside, while the other centers they’ve played – Joel Embiid, Jonas Valanciunas, Steven Adams and Andre Drummond are all traditional back-to-the-basket types.”

“Look for this to work to Milwaukee’s benefit and don’t be surprised if this total winds up being the Celtics’ largest of the season to date, besting the 219 that was set for their visit to OKC on Oct. 25.”

The total opened at 215 and while Boston has been a great ‘under’ lean (5-2) the Bucks have watched the ‘over’ go 5-2.

Home/Away Tendencies

Charlotte (4-4 SU, 6-2 ATS) has turned a profit for bettors this season, especially at home (2-1 SU, 3-0 ATS). The Hornets opened as slight home favorites over Oklahoma City (2-4 SU, 2-4 ATS) tonight and the Thunder are winless (0-2 SU, 1-1 ATS) on the road. I expect the public to lean to the visitor in this matchup but backing OKC on the road has been a poor investment dating back to last season and the Thunder remain the worst 3-point shooting team (27.5%) in the league.

After eight games, the book is out on Philadelphia (4-4 SU, 4-4 ATS) and its numbers have been solid at home (4-0) and poor on the road (0-4). The Clippers (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS) visit tonight as underdogs and their only win on the road (1-2) came against the James Harden-less Rockets. Along with strong home numbers, the 76ers could be identified as bullies. Four wins against the Bulls, Magic, Hornets and Hawks certainly doesn’t make noise while the losses came to the three best teams in the East (Celtics, Bucks, Raptors) and a formidable Pistons squad. I think it’s fair to say that Los Angeles is ranked in between those groups and that’s why this line is Philadelphia (-5) isn’t as high.

Five Straight?

After starting the season with a 1-3 record, Sacramento (5-3 SU, 6-2 ATS) has ripped off four straight wins and they’ll go for its fifth in a row Thursday when it meets Atlanta (2-5 SU, 2-5 ATS) on the road. As you often hear in our industry, the Kings go from hunter to hunted as they opened as short road favorites (-2) over the Hawks. This is the first time this season that Sacramento is listed in the favorite role and doing so on the road is a tad surprising but the Hawks certainly deserve that treatment. Atlanta has only played two games int its new digs (State Farm Arena) and a 1-1 record could easily be 0-2 if Dallas didn’t collapse (111-104) to the Hawks in the opener on Oct. 24.

The stat that catches my eye with Sacramento comes from its offense, which is ranked third in field goal percentage (49.8%) and fourth in 3-point field goal percentage (40%). I doubt the Kings can maintain that pace but they’re super athletic and they’ve got a bunch of young guys that can finish at the rim. Knowing the Hawks aren’t as deep as Sacramento, I would lean to the visitor in this spot but the wake-up call is coming. The Kings finish up their four-game road trip at Milwaukee on Sunday in a game that is scheduled in the afternoon (3:30 p.m. ET).

If you’re not sold on the Hawks or Kings, you’re looking at a total of 231 and that’s the highest number on the board. It makes sense based on the defensive numbers for both the Kings (116.8 PPG) and Hawks (116.9 PPG). Last season, the pair split their two meetings with the home team posting a double-digit victory in each contest.

Zero Days Rest

Denver (6-1 SU, 4-3 ATS) survived a scare at Chicago last night and escaped with a 108-107 win but never came close to covering as an eight-point road favorite. For the second straight night, the Nuggets will be laying points on the road when they visit Cleveland. The Nuggets have gone 1-0 both SU and ATS on no rest this season but they played that game at home, which was a 100-98 win over Golden State on Oct. 21.

The Cavaliers (1-6 SU, 4-3 ATS) just won their first game of the season on Tuesday, a 136-114 blowout win over Atlanta as 4 ½-point home favorites. Prior to that win, Cleveland was 0-3 both SU and ATS at Quicken Loans Arena and all of the losses came by double digits.

New Orleans (4-3 SU, 4-3 ATS) did as much as it could but still dropped a 131-121 decision at Golden State on Wednesday as a nine-point underdog. Tonight, the club will visit the Moda Center to face Portland (5-2 SU, 5-2 ATS). The Pelicans have only faced a back-to-back spot once this season and they got blitzed 132-111 at home by the Jazz on Oct. 27. All-Star Anthony Davis sat out that game and his absence was obviously felt.

If you’ve read my “ITP” columns before, you’ve probably heard me talk about fading teams in their first game back after a road trip of three or more games. It hasn’t clicked this season but something to keep an eye on and Portland faces the angle tonight after finishing its four-game road trip with a 3-1 record.

In case you forgot, the Pelicans embarrassed the Trail Blazers in the first round of the playoffs last season with a 4-0 sweep. There was no answer for Davis or Jrue Holiday and while some may play the revenge factor, sometimes you have to play the matchup. Including the outcome of that series, New Orleans has won eight of the last 10 and that includes a 4-1 record at Portland.
