Inside the Paint - Tuesday
Chris David

Chicago (5-19 SU, 11-13 ATS) at Indiana (13-10 SU, 10-12-1 ATS)

Indiana squeaked out a 107-105 win at Chicago on Nov. 2 but failed to cover as a seven-point road favorite and that’s been a common theme in this series. Going back to last season, the Pacers are 4-1 between the pair but the Bulls have gone 3-2 ATS. For the rematch, Indiana opened as a nine-point favorite and that number should be higher but the absence of Victor Oladipo (knee) is worth at least 2 points. He’s missed the last seven games for Indiana and the team has gone 3-4 without him.

The Pacers will be playing their first game at home after finishing a four-game West Coast road trip that saw them go 2-2. Indiana started with a pair of wins before dropping two in a row to the Lakers (104-96) and Kings (111-110).

Chicago enters this matchup on a six-game losing streak it has been hit or miss during this run, losing three games by single digits and three by 10-plus points and that includes a 121-105 loss to Houston on Saturday. The club just fired head coach Fred Hoiberg on Monday and I’m not sure if that change will help considering it lacks experience and depth. The Bulls have the third worst point differential (9.6) in the league and its only road wins (2-10 SU, 4-8 ATS) came against the Knicks and Hawks.

Indiana isn’t exactly super at home (6-4 SU, 5-5 ATS) but it’s been a bully against sub .500 teams (11-3). Laying a big number on a team without its best player isn’t a great approach but I’d probably lean that way knowing the Pacers have the best scoring defense (102.7 PPG) in the league.

Orlando (11-12 SU, 14-9 ATS) at Miami (9-13 SU, 10-12 ATS)

Tight game expected in South Florida with the Heat (-2) listed as a short home favorite over the Magic and it’s hard to make a case for either team. Miami is coming off back-to-back home wins over the Pelicans and Jazz but it hasn’t won three in a row all season. Do you trust the Heat to get over the hump before they begin a six-game road trip? Miami hasn’t been good at home (5-8 SU, 5-8 ATS) this season and it’s been horrible in the division (1-6).

Orlando is far from a world beater but it’s been a profitable team to back and even though this is their sixth straight road game, they returned from the West Coast on Saturday with a 2-3 record. More importantly, they went 4-1 ATS and they were only embarrassed in one game which was a 112-87 decision at Denver. Including those results, the Magic have gone 5-6 SU and 8-3 ATS on the road.

The past two meetings between the pair were decided by a combined five points and that includes Orlando’s 104-101 opening night win over Miami as a 2 ½-point underdog. With the line being in the same neighborhood on Tuesday, you can see that the oddsmakers have adjusted their ratings up on Orlando and down on Miami.

Portland (13-10 SU, 11-12 ATS) at Dallas (11-10 SU, 14-7 ATS)

Another short number here with Dallas listed as a two-point home favorite and it almost looks like a trap. Bettors not following the NBA on a daily basis are probably surprised that Portland is catching points in this spot but you could argue that the number should be higher. The Trail Blazers have burned bettors with seven straight losses against the spread and it’s only 2-5 SU during this span. Meanwhile, Dallas has been one of the pleasant surprise stories of the season and it enters this game with an 8-2 record both SU and ATS over its last 10 games. Plus, the Mavericks have gone 9-2 both SU and ATS at home this season. The club stumbled out of the block when listed as a favorite but it has covered three straight games in that role and sits at 5-3 both SU and ATS overall. As an underdog, Portland is 3-5 overall but it has dropped four straight and those losses came by an average of 24 PPG. Last season, Portland won and covered two of the three meetings against Dallas and that included a split in the Lone Star State.

Sacramento (11-11 SU, 13-8-1 ATS) at Phoenix (4-19 SU, 8-15 ATS)

It’s rare to see the Kings as road favorites (-6), this being just the second time this season. In the first spot, Sacramento blasted Atlanta 146-115 on Nov. 1 as a 2 ½-point road favorite. Knowing Suns guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is listed as ‘doubtful’ for this game, it’s hard to imagine Phoenix keeping up with this Sacramento team that is full of confidence.

The Kings are the third fastest team in the league with 92 shots per game and even though they don’t hoist as much from distance, they’re shooting 38.5 percent from 3-point land and that’s ranked second in the league. The Suns are ranked 25th from beyond the arc and without Booker, that number certainly declines. Phoenix only has four wins but three of them came at home (3-8 SU) and they did manage to cover a couple of the losses (5-6 ATS).

Something has to give with the total (226) on this game knowing the Kings are 10-1 to the ‘over’ on the road but the Suns are 8-3 to the ‘under’ at home. Sacramento is averaging 118.9 PPG away from home and they’re close to 40 percent from downtown on the road as well. The Suns have struggled offensively (103 PPG) all season and missing Booker will likely play a factor.

San Antonio (11-12 SU, 11-12 ATS) at Utah (11-13 SU, 11-13 ATS)

Utah opened as a 5 ½-point favorite at BookMaker.eu and the number was pushed up to 7 as of Tuesday morning. Knowing the Jazz have been awful at home (2-6 SU, 3-5 ATS) and it will be playing its first game at home after a three-game East Coast road trip, can you justify backing them tonight? The Jazz went 2-1 both SU and ATS in the recent journey and while the loss to Miami (102-100) was tough, they needed to rally past the Nets before blowing out the Hornets.

While you could be hesitant to lean to the Jazz at home, do you feel confident backing a San Antonio squad that has gone 4-8 SU and 5-7 ATS away from home? And, two of those road wins came against the Hawks and Suns. Winning on the road for the Spurs used to be a staple for the franchise but they were poor last season (14-27) and that trend has carried over to this year. The main issue for the Spurs (112.3 PPG) has been defense and their numbers have been worse on the road (116.2 PPG).

The Jazz have certainly been a disappointment this season but their schedule has watched them play 19 of 24 games against teams above .500 and they’re 7-12 in those spots. Against losing clubs, which the Spurs are, they’re 4-1. In case you forgot, Utah started last season 17-24 before closing the second-half of the season 31-10 record and I would expect another run in the coming months.

The Jazz won three of the four encounters against the Spurs last season and they’ve taken the last three games played at Vivint Smart Home Arena but two of the wins came by four points or less. The ‘over’ has gone 8-2 in the last 10 games of this series but none of those totals were above 200 and Tuesday’s opener was 214 ½. Utah (15-9) and San Antonio (14-8) have both solid ‘over’ leans this season, especially the Jazz at home (7-1).

This week's NHL betting predictions and picks: Rantanen powers Avs offense
Monty Andrews

Mikko Rantanen and the high-powered Colorado Avalanche travel to Pittsburgh to take on the disappointing Penguins.

The first full week of December sees a number of teams in surprising spots in the standings including one of the league's most disappointing teams who will try to win a slugfest with a high-scoring opponent – but things could change in a hurry as the 2018 calendar winds down.

The best Finnish-er in the league

Patrik Laine will look to add to his league-leading goal total on Tuesday when the Winnipeg Jets visit the New York Islanders. Laine has been blanked in his first two games of December after producing an incredible 18 goals in November; the Jets are 8-3-0 when Laine scores at least one goal, and 8-5-2 when he doesn't. Laine, who has 21 goals on the season, would love nothing more than to check the Islanders off his to-do list; they're one of three teams against whom Laine has yet to score in his NHL career, along with the San Jose Sharks and Columbus Blue Jackets.

Avalanche of Goals in Pittsburgh?

Two of the league's top ten teams in goals per game will do battle Tuesday night as Mikko Rantanen and the Colorado Avalanche visit Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Avs earned a 6-3 win in Colorado in their previous meeting last week.

The Avalanche boast the second-ranked offense in the NHL at 3.67 goals per game and employ the most prolific duo in hockey, with Rantanen (45 points) and Nathan MacKinnon (43) ranked first and second in league scoring. Combine that with the scoring exploits of Evgeni Malkin (30 points) and Crosby (29 points), and the Over will be a popular play here.

Ducking Under the Total

The Anaheim Ducks were a sensational Under play for most of the 2017-18 season – and they continue to reward Under bettors through the beginning of the 2018-19 campaign. The Ducks carry an impressive 10-19 O/U mark into Wednesday's home encounter with the Chicago Blackhawks, who come in having lost six of their past seven games. There should be plenty of action on the Under yet again, with these teams having combined for five or fewer goals in 28 of their previous 36 head-to-head meetings dating back to the end of the 2008-09 season.

Goalie Profile: Martin Jones, San Jose Sharks

We highlighted Anaheim's John Gibson here recently as a starting netminder under fire due to his team's shoddy defense. Sharks counterpart Martin Jones is the exact opposite; while San Jose has done a great job limiting shots (29.1 per game, fifth-fewest in the NHL), Jones has done a dreadful job of stopping them. He comes into the week with a 3.00 goals-against average and an .894 save percentage, ranked 30th and 40th, respectively, among qualified goalies in those categories. It's a big reason why the Sharks are one of only two teams with 30+ points and a negative goal differential. Jones and the Sharks will be hosting the Carolina Hurricanes Wednesday night.
Injury Update

The Arizona Coyotes' sensational penalty kill has been dealt a major blow after forward Michael Grabner suffered a nasty left eye injury courtesy of a high stick from the St. Louis Blues' Sammy Blais. Grabner has been a dynamo when the Coyotes have been a man short so far in 2018-19, racking up a league-leading four shorthanded goals. While Grabner has just six goals and five assists on the season, Arizona will still miss his offense, having gone a red-hot 7-1-1 SU in nine games in which the former first-round pick has recorded at least one point.

Hat Trick Trends

• Totals bettors should keep an eye out for games refereed by Kyle Rehman this week. Rehman has overseen 15 Overs against just eight Unders on the season, with teams combining to produce an average of 6.66 goals in those contests. The road team has been particularly prolific, averaging 3.57 goals in his assignments.

• Road favorites had a field day over the previous seven days worth of games, going a sizzling 12-5-1 SU for a success rate of 66.7 percent. That brings the road faves' overall record on the season to .500 (63-47-14), with the home underdog still a good historical profit play heading into the first full week of December.

Dave’s Tuesday Free Play:
1* on Cincinnati -10.5
The Key: Northern Kentucky is getting way too much respect for its 8-1 start this season. The 8 wins have all come against suspect competition, and 3 of them came by 6 points or less over Northern Illinois, Manhattan and Coastal Carolina. In their toughest game of the season, Northern Kentucky lost 53-66 as 10-point dogs at UCF. And Cincinnati is the most talented team they will have faced yet, and this is a similar line to the UCF game with the Bearcats favored by 10.5 points. Cincinnati is 7-1 this season with its only loss to Ohio State in the opener. And the Norse are 0-6 ATS in their last 6 games against a team that wins better than 60% of their games. The Bearcats are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. Take Cincinnati.

Play on: Boston College -3½ -110 at YouWager

10* FREE NCAAB PICK (Boston College -3.5)
I'll take my chances here with the Eagles covering this small number at home against the Friars. Boston College is a program on the rise in the ACC and I just think they are flying under the radar right now. We recently saw the Eagles in a similar spot at home against Minnesota, where they won 68-56 as a slim 1-point favorite. I get that the Friars only two losses are to Wichita State and Michigan, but the Shockers are way down and the Wolverines destroyed them. They only got one win all season by more than 10 points, despite being a favorite of 10 or more 4 times. Clearly Providence is overvalued by the books. Give me the Eagles -3.5!

Play on: Central Michigan -6½ -110 at sportsbook

1* Free Sharp Play on Central Michigan -6½ -110
My money is on the Chippewas to cash in a win and cover on the road against the Penguins. Central Michigan is in a prime bounce back spot off an ugly 27-point loss at TCU. That's only their 2nd loss of the season, so they have been playing good basketball. Youngstown State isn't very good. The Penguins are just 3-6 and one of those wins was a game where they were favored by 20 against Heidelberg and another was such a mismatch they didn't post a line. Last time out they lost by 34 to a rebuilding West Virginia team. Bet Central Michigan -6.5!

NHL | Avalanche vs Penguins
Play on: Avalanche +126 at betonline

NHL FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Colorado Avalanche defeated the Penguins 6-3 in Denver last Wednesday. I think they'll pick up another win in the second meeting in six days when visiting Pittsburgh Tuesday night.
The red hot Avs opened a four-game road trip with a 2-0 win at Detroit Sunday to extend their point streak to 11 games (9-0-2). The Pens on the other hand have lost 12 of their last 16 overall and own a losing record home at PPG Paints Arena on the season.
Pittsburgh has conceded 10 goals in back-to-back losses and its defensive struggles is likely to continue against a Colorado team which is averaging 3.67 gpg, 2nd only to Tampa Bay.
Free pick on Colorado Avalanche.
