Friday's Tip Sheet
Kevin Rogers

Game of the Night: Pelicans at Lakers – 10:35 PM EST

Will Anthony Davis join LeBron James in the Purple and Gold next season? Anything is possible in the NBA as James could certainly use another superstar next to him in Los Angeles. The two stars will meet up for the first time this season when the Pelicans continue a four-game road trip.

New Orleans (15-17 SU, 15-17 ATS) alternated wins and losses in 11 consecutive games from November 26 through December 16, capped off by a home defeat to Miami. However, that funky streak came to an end in Wednesday’s 123-116 setback at Milwaukee, but the Pelicans managed to cover as nine-point underdogs to at least keep a 12-game streak alive of alternating ATS wins and losses. Davis suffered ankle injury in the defeat, but scored 27 points and pulled down 11 rebounds and is expected to play tonight.

The Lakers (18-13, 12-18-1 ATS) return home from a dreadful 1-3 road trip with the only victory coming last Saturday at Charlotte by 28 points. In the other three losses to Houston, Washington, and Brooklyn, the Lakers allowed at least 115 points in each defeat, while Los Angeles owns a 2-5 ATS record in the past seven games.

Last season (granted pre-LeBron), the Lakers lost all three meetings with the Pelicans, including a 119-112 setback at Staples Center last October. The Lakers are currently on a 10-2 UNDER streak at home since October, while the Pelicans have hit the UNDER in eight of the past 11 games overall.

Color of Money

The Bucks and Celtics played an exciting seven-game series in the opening round of the playoffs last season that ended with Boston finishing off Milwaukee at TD Garden. These two Eastern Conference powers meet for the second time this season as the Celtics edged the Bucks on November 1 in Beantown, 117-113 as 2 ½-point favorites, marking the 10th consecutive win by the home team since December 2017.

Milwaukee (21-9 SU, 15-13-2 ATS) is riding a three-game winning streak since losing at Indiana on December 12, as the Bucks held off the Pelicans on Wednesday, 123-115. Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 25 points, while Milwaukee shot 50% from the floor to improve to 14-3 at Fiserv Forum. However, the Bucks would like to fix their road mark, which sits at 7-6, although they have won three of their past four on the highway.

The Celtics (18-12 SU, 15-15 ATS) were rolling along by winning eight straight games prior to losing at Detroit last Saturday. It looked like a one-game hiccup as Boston jumped out to a 37-26 lead over Phoenix on Wednesday after one quarter. However, the surging Suns rallied to shock the Celtics, 111-103 to cash as 11 ½-point underdogs, while limiting Boston to 41 second half points. The loss also snapped a four-game home winning streak, as the Celtics last fell to the Bucks at TD Garden in the second game of last season.

Net Gains

Who’s the hottest team in the NBA right now? You guessed it correctly, it’s the Nets (15-18 SU, 18-15 ATS), who are coming off their seventh consecutive victory on Wednesday by edging the Bulls, 96-93. What’s even more interesting about Brooklyn’s recent success is the two losses prior to this hot streak each came by two points apiece to Cleveland and Oklahoma City, while blowing a 20-point lead to the Thunder. The Nets have covered eight consecutive games, while cashing in 13 of 15 victories this season.

Brooklyn welcomes in Indiana to Barclays Center, as the Pacers (20-12 SU, 17-15 ATS) should be motivated tonight after dropping a pair of games on a back-to-back set to the Knicks and Raptors. After losing to New York at the buzzer on Tuesday, Indiana fell apart in the fourth quarter at Toronto by getting outscored, 24-11 in a 99-96 defeat. In spite of the loss, the Pacers continued a remarkable UNDER streak that reached 12 games, while Indiana looks to extend its winning streak against Brooklyn to nine.

Middle of the Road

The Pistons and Hornets are each hovering around the .500 mark as the two Eastern Conference squads meet for the second time in less than 10 days. Charlotte (15-15 SU, 16-14 ATS) rallied from an 11-point fourth quarter deficit to edge Detroit (15-14 SU, 15-13-1 ATS) as 5 ½-point favorites, 108-107. Both teams held double-digit leads in the game, but the Hornets came through in the end for their second victory over the Pistons this season.

The Hornets wrap up a five-game homestand that began with the one-point triumph over Detroit, but Charlotte lost back-to-back contests to the Lakers and Knicks. Charlotte rebounded with another rally to knock off Cleveland on Wednesday, 110-99, but the Hornets failed to cash as 13-point favorites to fall to 0-4 ATS the last four games.

The Pistons began December by shocking the Warriors, but fell apart by losing seven of the next eight games. Detroit rebounded by beating Minnesota in overtime on Wednesday, 129-123 as 5 ½-point underdogs, paced by Blake Griffin’s 34 points and Reggie Bullock’s 33 points, while overcoming a 14-point fourth quarter deficit.

We Finally Made It

It took until nearly Christmas, but the Kings (16-15 SU, 19-12 ATS) are finally listed as a home favorite for the first time this season. Sacramento has laid points on the road four times, but will be chalk at Golden 1 Center against Memphis (16-15 SU, 16-15 ATS), who has lost four consecutive games after falling at Portland on Wednesday, 99-92.

Sacramento has dropped two in a row since Sunday’s victory at Dallas as the Kings lost by double-digit at home to the Thunder, 132-113. Buddy Hield drilled seven three-pointers to score 37 points for the Kings, as Sacramento hit the OVER for the fifth consecutive game. Although the Kings failed to cover in the last two games, Sacramento owns a 3-0 ATS mark off back-to-back ATS losses. These two teams have split their first two meetings this season with the home team winning each time.

Not taking many attempts

The Pistons have done a great job defending opposing power forwards, allowing only 17.9 points per game on 43.4 percent shooting. Charlotte's Marvin Williams has seen his field goal attempts dip over the past two seasons to only 7.8 a game, and his minutes decrease as well, playing an average of 26.1 a contest. Over the past ten games he has had two scoreless games playing at least 10 minutes. Look for the Pistons to keep him and the Hornets contained and take Under his point total.


Backing the better team

The Nets have won seven straight and have done so against some quality teams. Today, they take on the Pacers who have also gone on a nice little run themselves, winning seven of their last 10, and have historically gotten the better of the Nets.

In the head-to-head, the Pacers have won five straight matchups between these two and have posted a 13-5 ATS record playing in Brooklyn and are 7-1 ATS in the last eight meetings overall. Indiana has been efficient on the road this season winning nine of 16 road games and find themselves in a very winnable spot as 3-point favorites away from home.


Key offensive weapon

The Bulls' Lauri Markkanen had a season low shot attempts last game versus the Nets with only six. For a player attempting an average of 14.1 a game, he needs to get much more involved and force up more attempts, especially with the slew of injuries to the Bulls. Chicago will be without Zach LaVine and Bobby Portis Friday against the Magic, and have Cameron Payne and Jabari Parker listed as questionable.

With the Magic surrendering 21.1 points on 47.6 percent shooting, and 11 rebounds to opposing power forwards, expect Markkanen to take advantage of a favorable matchup and find success offensively. Take Over his points, rebounds, assist total.


Relying on the long ball

The Bucks' enter today's contest versust he Celtics relatively healthy with only reserve Ersan Ilyasova out. Boston has been less fortunate staying healthy recently and will be without two centers in Al Horford and Aron Baynes. To make matters worse, the Celtics might also be without Marcus Morris who is listed as questionable for the matchup.

The Celtics average 13.3 3-point shots made per game. Opponents have been successful hitting the long ball versus the Bucks who allow opponents to shoot 36 percent from beyond the arc. With the Celtics' Kyrie Irving hitting at least four 3-point shots in three of his most recent four games, look for him to continue to find success from deep and back Over his made 3-point shots.


Making it three straight

The Trail Blazers have struggled defensively surrendering an average of 113.7 points per game on 59.6 percent shooting over their most recent three games. Today, they take on the Jazz who have really struggled putting points on the board this year averaging only 106.5 per contest. But, they should be feeling good coming off a 108-103 victory versus the Warriors.

Look for Utah's Jae Crowder to have success inside as the Blazers surrender 23 points on 47.7 percent shooting, and 11.4 rebounds to opposing power forwards. With Crowder coming off two straight double-doubles, look for him to make it three in a row and back Over his points, rebounds and assists total.

Locked and Loaded Leafs highlight this weekend's NHL betting predictions and picks
Monty Andrews

It could be a big weekend for the Toronto Maple Leafs – and for Over bettors, as well. The Leafs square off against a pair of bottom-10 defenses to highlight an entertaining stretch that includes the Chicago Blackhawks looking to reverse an ugly road trend, and two struggling defenses tangling in what should be a high-scoring affair at Madison Square Garden. Here are the key matchups, trends and tips to monitor heading into a busy weekend on the ice.

Leafs Locked and Loaded

The Toronto Maple Leafs' goal-scoring train is chugging at full strength again – and their next two games present great opportunities for even more offensive fireworks. Fresh off a 6-1 win over the Florida Panthers in their return from a five-game road trip, Toronto carries a 9-2 O/U record over its last 11 games into a pair of encounters Saturday against the New York Rangers and Sunday vs. the Detroit Red Wings. Both teams rank in the bottom-10 in the league in goals against per game and could struggle to contain a Toronto offense that has produced 13 goals over its previous two games.

Sending Fans Home Happy

Saturday afternoon presents a rare marquee matchup between the Nashville Predators and the Boston Bruins – and if the all-time head-to-head record is any indication, fans at TD Garden will be doing some celebrating. The teams have split their previous 18 meetings down the middle, with the home team going an absurd 15-3 SU over that stretch. The home side has won each of the past six encounters, most recently a 1-0 Nashville victory the last time these teams met back on Nov. 4 at Bridgestone Arena. Also, worth noting: six of the previous 10 head-to-head meetings have been decided by a goal.

Blackhawks Don't Travel Well

The Chicago Blackhawks are trying to turn around a dismal season – and they're on the right track as they prep for a Friday night matchup with the host Colorado Avalanche. Chicago's 5-2 drubbing of the host Dallas Stars on Thursday marked just the 10th win for the Blackhawks in their last 37 road games against teams with winning home records. But the odds of a repeat performance are not in Chicago's favor; it has lost 20 of its past 27 games on the tail end of a back-to-back, while the home team has won five of the previous six meetings between the Central Division rivals.

Red Light Bonanza?

The Rangers-Flyers rivalry has seen better times – but fans and bettors could be in for plenty of offense as the Metropolitan Division foes renew hostilities Sunday on Broadway. The teams entered Thursday ranked second and fourth, respectively, in most goals per game allowed so far in December, with the Flyers at 4.00 and the Rangers at 3.86. And while both teams are in the middle of the pack offensively for the month at 3.00 goals per game apiece, the winning team has scored four or more times in six of the previous seven meetings. The Flyers come in having won four straight against the Rangers.

Goalie Profile

Adin Hill, Arizona Coyotes: When the Coyotes lost netminder Antti Raanta to an injury that might keep him out for the remainder of the season, many thought their solid defensive prowess would take a hit. But the tandem of Darcy Kuemper and Hill have kept the Coyotes competitive in most games despite the team boasting the second-worst offense in the league. Hill has been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. A third-round pick in 2015, the 22-year-old is 5-3-0 with a 1.97 goals-against average and a .927 save percentage, though he has hit a bit of a rough patch with three or more goals allowed in each of his past four starts.

Injury Update

Matt Dumba, Defenseman, Minnesota Wild: Things are getting dire in Minnesota, with the Wild having lost eight of 11 games heading into the weekend. And they'll be without the services of offensively gifted defenseman Matt Dumba, who is out indefinitely with what is being categorized as a "significant" upper-body injury. Dumba leads all blue-liners in goals with 12, and averages more than 23 minutes per game on the Minnesota blue line. The Wild are 10-6-2 SU in games in which Dumba records at least one point.

Hat Trick Trends

Games officiated by Ghislain Hebert have been a hot ticket so far this season. The over is 23-15 in the 38 games Hebert has worked in 2018-19, while producing an average of seven goals. Peter MacDougall is second among referees who have worked a minimum of 10 games, with his matchups generating an average of 6.77 goals en route to a 9-4 O/U mark.

The over bonanza has ended, at least temporarily. Unders have outperformed overs by an ever-so-slim 25-24 margin over the previous seven days entering Thursday, though overs are still converting at a 53.6-percent clip over the previous 30 days. Teams have made good on the over 50.4 percent of the time since the start of the season.

Underdog bettors have seen a bump in profit over the past week, with 'dogs and faves having each won 26 times over that span. But don't expect the good times to continue: Favorites have prevailed at a 63.6 percent rate over the previous month, and is at 57.8 percent for the campaign.

NBA | Cavs vs Raptors
Play on: Cavs +12½ -115 at Bovada

Dave’s Friday Free Play:
1* on Cleveland Cavaliers +12.5
The Key: I like the situation for the Cleveland Cavaliers tonight. They have already lost to the Raptors twice this season, so they’ll be playing with triple revenge. And they only lost by 12 on the road and by 11 at home, both times covering the spread. I think this 3rd meeting will be even closer as the Raptors won’t be hungry at all to beat this team for a 3rd time. Especially not when they know they need to conserve their energy for a bigger road game at Philadelphia tomorrow night. And the Raptors are beat up right now with Kyle Lowry, Jonas Valanciunas and Norman Powell all out, while Serge Ibaka is questionable. Toronto is 9-23 ATS in its last 32 home games following a close home win by 3 points or less. The Raptors are just 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games overall. They are failing to meet expectations now that they’ve built up the best record in the Eastern Conference. They are consistently getting too much respect from oddsmakers, and they are again tonight. Take Cleveland.

NBA | Pistons vs Hornets
Play on: Hornets -3½ -109 at GTBets

#NBA FREE PICK FROM MIKE LUNDIN
The Detroit Pistons are in a let down spot following a 129-123 OT triumph as a 5.5-point underdog at Minnesota Wednesday night. They had lost seven of eight before that win and I think they'll come up well short of covering the spread when visting Charlotte Hornets tonight.
Charlotte put together a solid performance as they snapped a two-game slide with a 110-99 win against Cleveland on Wednesday. Sure, they failed to cover the spread for a fourth straight game, but I think that just makes the Hornets a stronger play here.
Free pick on Charlotte Hornets.
