There's a big difference between top 5 and top 10. Tottenham sits in 5th place in the standings. West Ham resides in 9th. Tottenham scores more goals and concedes less. Tottenham has won four of its last five home meetings with the Hammers in all competitions. They've won the last three matches by a combined score of 7-2. Tottenham does have some injury concerns but a 3-3 draw with Man City last match shows that they've got more than enough to overcome them. The last match here was 2-0. I've got this one at 2-1, also in favor of Tottenham.
I'm betting the Pacers as a 5.5-point dog in Thursday's semifinal matchup against the Bucks. Everyone is on Milwaukee after their dominating 146-122 win over the Knicks in the quarterfinals, which has jumped this line up and created value on Indiana. The Pacers were every bit as impressive in their 122-112 win over the Celtics. Indiana to me is a team that is very motivated to win this in-season tournament. They also seem to be relishing in the chance to showcase their talents in the national spotlight, something they haven't got to do much of late. Pacers are lethal offensively and I think they will have no problem scoring against a sub-par Bucks defense. Give me the Pacers +5.5!
Toronto @ Ottawa (7:05 PM EST)
Play On: Toronto -122
The Toronto Maple Leafs travel to Ottawa to take on the Senators on Thursday night. Toronto is 11-10 overall this year while Ottawa comes in with a 10-10 overall record on the season. Ottawa is allowing 4.4 goals per game against division opponents this year. Toronto is 6-3 overall vs Ottawa past 3 years including 3-1 when playing at Ottawa. We'll recommend a small play on Toronto tonight! Thanks and good luck, Rocky
The Maple Leafs usually can be counted on to produce at least three goals. They've scored a minimum of three goals in 10 of their last 12 games.
Toronto faces Ottawa, which is giving up an average of four goals per game during their last four games if you discount a 2-0 shutout of Seattle. The Maple Leafs also catch the Senators without injured defenseman Thomas Chabot.
The key is how many goals can the Senators score?
I believe Ottawa will more than hold its own in the scoring column. The Senators just had their best offensive showing of the season beating the Rangers at home and goalie Igor Shesterkin, 6-2, two days ago.
The Washington Captials are 4-6 in their last 10 games but only 2-4 in their last six, and they're coming off back-to-back losses. This will be their first home game since returning home from a five-game road trip, which historically has proven to be a tough spot for teams. The Caps lost 6-0 in Arizona in their last game, they are 0-6 in their last 6 after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game.
The Dallas Stars are also 4-6 in their last 10 games and off back-to-back road losses, but they are a solid 8-3-2 on the road for the season. Also, note that the Stars are 10-1 SU in their last 11 games when playing on the road against Washington.
