30 DIMER - DENVER NUGGETS....10 DIMER - TEXAS RANGERS (McCarthy over Pavano)
30 DIMER - DENVER NUGGETS



This is a chance for the Nuggets to make a statement as we get set for the postseason. Denver came back to beat Oklahoma City last night by double-digits, running their winning streak to 8 straight. George Karl's team has also been a winner in 13 of their last 14!



The Lakers are the West's #1 seed, but are still seeking the overall #1 seed, so they do have some motivation tonight, but LA is just 2-4 against the spread their last 6 games, so a cover tonight is no sure thing.



In the past, Los Angeles has been able to control Denver, as the Lakers have won 9 of the previous 10 regular season showdowns. That one Denver win does come the last time these teams played, as the Nuggets took a 90-79 win at home back at the end of February to end the long series skid.



Can Denver win outright again?



Probably not, but with the points I think the streaking Nuggets can be close.



Take the points.



10 DIMER - TEXAS RANGERS (McCarthy over Pavano)



Break up the Rangers!



Texas has taken the first pair of this three game set against Cleveland, and I see no reason the Rangers can't break out the broom today, and send the Tribe out of town 0-3.



The Rangers can definitely hit, and last night it was Cruz and Andrus taking the lead in the 8-5 win.



Brandon McCarthy certainly has potential do be a star at this level, and his last 2 starts against Cleveland show 2 earned runs in 11 innings of work.



His counterpart Carl Pavano is trying to reestablish himself after an injury-riddled stint in New York with the Yankees. With Pavano having been out of the loop so long, I expect the Texas bats to continue to stay hot, and send the Tribe righty to the showers a tad early.



Take Texas to complete the sweep.
Today's Complimentary Selection

Last night in the NBA, the G-Man scored with an underdog winner on the Memphis Grizzlies. That makes it a 12-3 comp play run the last 15 days!



Another underdog play on Thursday's limited NBA card goes out on the Philadelphia 76ers as they take on the streaking Chicago Bulls.



Both teams are looking to improve their playoff standings, and the Bulls have captured 2 in a row, and 6 of their last 8 straight up. The problem is the Bulls have lost the last pair of series meetings, and 4 of the last 5 straight up.



Philly has dropped their last pair of games, but the Sixers are on a 4-1 spread run their last 5, and the underdog in this series has covered 7 of the last 8 games played between the teams.



G-Man thinks this one is going right down to the wire. Chicago may get the home win, but I don't see them covering this impost.



Take Philadelphia plus the points.



2? PHILADELPHIA

Denver Nuggets at Los Angeles Lakers
Play: Under 212.5 for 5 units


The Lakers and the Nuggets for the fourth time this season. Throw out the 122-104 thrashing of the hapless Sacramento King and the Lakers are playing their best defense of the season. Prior to to that game the Lakers had held their last eight opponents to a 100 points or less. The Nuggets have been known as a high-scoring team over the last few years but have started to play defense after acquiring Chauncey Billups halfway through the season. The Lakers have seen the O/U go 0-7 as a home favorite and 0-5 against teams with a winning record. The Nuggets have seen the O/U go 0-4 as a road underdog and are 0-5 against teams with a winning road record. The last six meetings between these two teams have gone under. Take the game to go under the total.

7:35:00 PM New Jersey Devils(-105) 0
over OTTAWA SENATORS
Scott Rickenbach’s NHL 2* (Top Play) New Jersey Devils Money Line (-) @ Ottawa @ 7:35 PM ET – Since Cory Clouston took over for Craig Hartsburg as head coach of the Senators, they certainly have been a much stronger hockey club. Not only are the Sens 19-10-3 with Clouston in charge, they also have now won nine straight home games in Ottawa! Clouston was rewarded with a two year contract and is no longer the interim head man. While we respect Ottawa, and have actually ridden them quite frequently during their hot streak, tonight’s game is not a good situation for them and the Devils are in a strong spot. While Ottawa is off of back to back divisional wins over Montreal and Boston, they now take on an Atlantic Division opponent that is coming off of a home loss to Toronto. While a home loss to the Maple Leafs sounds unacceptable, and it very nearly is, note that the Devils outshot Toronto by a 48 to 18 margin. That is not a typing error! 48 shots for New Jersey versus just 18 shots for the Maple Leafs. You can plainly see who really dominated that game and the culprit in the defeat, goalie Martin Brodeur, is sure to bounce back here. The Devils have won five straight games against the Senators and New Jersey still hasn’t clinched the Atlantic Division. Although the Devils are close to clinching the division title, until they actually do so there will surely be no let up from New Jersey! In fact, with a 2-6-1 run in their last nine games, New Jersey is putting an emphasis on finishing the season with strong play! Though the 4 to 1 loss to the Maple Leafs would lead you to believe otherwise, a strong effort was evident from the Devils in that game as they outshot Toronto by a 30-shot margin. The effort is there, the focus is there, and we wouldn’t bet against Brodeur in this spot. The amazing netminder is very likely to bounce back with a strong effort here as the Devils look to lock down the Atlantic Division title. We actually are very fortunate here because we are getting tremendous line value due to the Senators recent success. While Ottawa deserves the respect they’re getting from the odds makers here, we feel the Devils are even more deserving of support here as they know what’s at stake here and they know they should have already “closed the deal” by beating the Leafs on Tuesday. The Devils match up well with the Senators, as evidenced by their five game winning streak in the series, and they get the job done again here in a spot where we should see one of their strongest efforts of the season! Play New Jersey on the money line as a Top Play selection.
