Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Cavaliers 105, Raptors 101-- Toronto had won 39 games in a row when they led after three quarters.

-- Trailblazers 98, Pistons 86-- Detroit is now an unhealthy 3-19.

-- Braves signed free agent 2B Alberto Callaspo, who isn't any good but it seems like the A's lose a player every day.

-- Pirates re-signed Francisco Liriano for three years, $39M. Good move.

-- Villanova 73, Illinois 59-- Game in NYC was 50-all at one point.

-- Louisville 94, Indiana 74-- Cardinals pulled away once Indiana stopped hitting 3's.

Late Night Update-- Jon Lester gets $155M from the Cubs, for six years.

**********

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud.......

13) I’m guessing Tuesday was a good day to be a White Sox season ticket salesman, with team adding Samardzija/Robertson. Pale Hose are making a run at the playoffs this coming season.

12) Guy in Las Vegas hit a $15 12-team parlay this week that paid him just under $45,000; his last game was Atlanta +12.5. Imagine sitting there with him when the Falcons were down 31-7 at the half?

Had to be kind of exciting in those last few minutes. Would’ve sucked to go 11 for 12 and wind up with bupkus. (Hope he hedged the bet, at least)

11) Cam Newton was in a car accident Tuesday afternoon near Panthers’ stadium; he has a couple breaks in his lower back, is in the hospital and not expected to play Sunday against Tampa Bay. Derek Anderson is the Panthers' backup QB.

10) Not only was it a dismal December day Tuesday, with freezing rain/sleet/icy roads, but I looked at mlbdepthcharts.com and saw they had Ike Davis batting 5th in the A’s prospective lineup for next season. Bleeping fifth. Oy.

9) One of unspoken benefits of the college football playoff: no one talks about the Heisman Trophy anymore; thank the Lord. Before this year, they’d start talking about it in September. Team stuff is always more interesting than individual stuff.

8) There is an NBA ref named Ben Taylor who is only 29 years old; he worked the intense Phoenix-Clipper game Monday night. 29 seems young to be an NBA ref.

7) I don’t give a rat’s ass about the royal family; they could be very nice people for all I know, but what have they done? What do they do? They’re rich/famous for no reason, like reality TV stars. Please go away.

6) UNLV hired a high school coach as its new football coach; Tony Sanchez from Bishop Gorman in Vegas. Keep in mind that Art Briles, Gus Malzahn and Hugh Freeze were all high school coaches at one time, and they’re doing pretty well now. Sanchez needs to recruit some of his Gorman players to make UNLV relevant on the gridiron, one of whom is Cordell Broadus, Snoop Dawg’s son.

5) Tennessee replaced UAB with Bowling Green on next year’s football schedule; UAB dropped football, rifle and bowling last week, for $$$ reasons.

4) Which begs the question, how much does it cost to fund a freakin’ bowling team? Does the bowling coach fly to the northeast to recruit a kid out of a duckpin league in Boston? Does he take a private jet to fly cross country to Vegas to find a kid in Rock ‘n Bowl at Red Rock Casino? Seriously, dropping bowling just seems un-American.

3) NFL record for most receiving yards in a game is Flipper Anderson’s 336, set on a Sunday night in 1989 against the Saints; was looking at some highlights from that season and it turns out when Anderson caught the winning TD in overtime in a playoff game against the Giants later in that ’89 season, the ref was Bob McElwee, who ten years later was also the ref when the Rams won Super Bowl XXXIV, the greatest sporting event ever played.

Good man, Bob McElwee.

2) Green Bay Packers are 9-0 on grass, 1-3 on artificial turf, the one win by a FG in Minnesota. Packers play on a short week in Buffalo this week. On turf. Hmmmm

1) RIP actor Ken Weatherwax, 59, who as a child played Puggsley Addams on the Addams Family, one of my favorite shows as a kid. 59 is too young to die, for sure. He’s probably in heaven today blowing up toy trains with Uncle Fester. RIP, sir.

See spot. See spot bet: This week's best spot bet opportunities

Lookahead spot

Northern Iowa has jumped out to an 8-0 (3-3 ATS) start to the season, earning the No. 24 spot in the national polls this week. The Panthers put that ranking to the test this coming weekend with a road game against another mid-major power - the VCU Rams – and face rival Iowa on a neutral court the weekend before Christmas.

However, lurking Wednesday is a climb up the Rocky Mountains to play the Denver Pioneers. Northern Iowa, which has failed to cover in its last two games as a heavy favorite, not only runs the risk of a looking past the Pioneers but could hit the wall in the thin air of Magness Arena. Denver runs an active Princeton offense with plenty of movement and cuts and is a tough out in its own gym, covering the spread in 11 of its last 13 home games against teams with winning records.

Letdown spot

The Oklahoma City Thunder have the band back together. Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant have returned from early-season injuries, drastically shifting the dynamic of a team that depended on defense to make up for its fallen stars in the first two months of the schedule. The Thunder can make a big statement regarding their place in the NBA title picture against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers Thursday.

Oklahoma City will watch the intensity meter go from peak to plop immediately following that showdown with the Cavs. The Thunder will hop on a plane and head to frozen Minnesota that night with the Timberwolves playing hosts Friday. Oklahoma City has been a bad bet on the road – even without this type of letdown spot - bringing a 2-8-1 ATS mark to Minnesota.

Schedule spot

The defending Stanley Cup champs were just starting to sort things out with three wins in their last five games before heading East on an extended road trip, dropping the puck in Buffalo Tuesday. Los Angeles leaves the sun and surf of California for the Canadian cold, with stops in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto – a string of three road games in four days.

The Kings are a crappy 3-4-2-2 outside of the Staples Center and take on the Sens (Thursday), Habs (Friday), and Leafs (Sunday), who boast a combined 25-13-1-3 record on home ice. Los Angeles has given up just 25 total goals in 16 home games, but has watched 31 pucks find the back of the net in just 11 road outings. And the Kings’ power play is among the lowest in the league away from home, with an 11.8 PP percentage. Those three Canadian foes all have home power play success rates of 21.5 or higher.

Game of the Day: Rockets at Warriors
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Houston Rockets at Golden State Warriors (OFF, OFF)

The Golden State Warriors have won a franchise-record 13 straight games but are just beginning the rough part of their schedule. The Warriors will try to make it 14 in a row when they face the team closest to them in the Western Conference in the visiting Houston Rockets. Both Golden State and the Rockets have made their way to the top of the standings by improving on the defensive end, and Wednesday’s game pits two of the top three defenses in the league.

The Warriors are limiting opponents to an NBA-best 40.9 percent from the field and overcame their own shooting woes to post a 102-86 victory in Minnesota on Monday by holding the Timberwolves to 36 percent. Houston is leaning on its defense as its roster battles a series of injuries, and Dwight Howard is expected to miss his 10th straight game with a knee injury. Patrick Beverley returned from a six-game absence on Saturday and keyed a defensive effort that held the Phoenix Suns to 36.6 percent in a 100-95 win.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, ROOT (Houston), CSN Bay Area (Golden State)

INJURY REPORT: Rockets - G James Harden (Questionable, back), G Francisco Garcia (Questionable, leg), C Dwight Howard (Doubtful, knee). Warriors - C Andrew Bogut (Questionable, knee), F David Lee (Mid December, hamstring).

POWER RANKINGS: Rockets (-10) + Warriors (-13) + home court (-3.0) = Warriors -6

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (16-4 SU, 11-9 ATS, 5-15 O/U): Houston brought Beverley off the bench in his return on Saturday and the defensive standout pestered the Suns backcourt while knocking down five 3-pointers to help make up for an off shooting night from James Harden. “Patrick brings something we don't have and that's a point guard who plays excellent defense, knocks down shots and is a great team player,” Harden told reporters. “It's great to have him back. He brought the energy.” Donatas Motiejunas is getting starting minutes with Terrence Jones on the shelf and is surging with averages of 16 points and eight rebounds in the last four games.

ABOUT THE WARRIORS (18-2 SU, 14-6 ATS, 8-12 O/U): Golden State’s only win against a top-level team during its winning streak came in a 112-102 victory at Chicago on Saturday and the team will finally get a chance against some contenders again with a road trip that includes Dallas and Memphis coming up after the date with the Rockets. The Warriors did knock off a few contenders during a five-game winning streak that started the season, including a 98-87 win at Houston on Nov. 8. Golden State committed 26 turnovers in that meeting but Stephen Curry collected 34 points and 10 rebounds while Andrew Bogut grabbed 18 boards.

TRENDS:

* Under is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Road team is 5-2 ATS in the last seven meetings.
* Warriors are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 vs. Western Conference.
* Under is 6-0 in Rockets last six vs. NBA Pacific.

Wednesday, December 10

Nets' F Joe Johnson, out Wednesday

Rockets' G James Harden, questionable Wednesday

Harden has an issue with his back and his status is unclear for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Knicks' F Carmelo Anthony, questionable Wednesday

Anthony is questionable to play Wednesday against the Spurs due to a knee injury.

Pistons a terrible bet during 13-game losing streak

The Detroit Pistons dropped their 13 consecutive game Tuesday night, falling 98-86 to the Portland Trail Blazers and if people have been backing the Pistons during this slide, it has not gone well for them.

The Pistons are just 4-9 against the spread during the losing streak, landing them all the way to dead last in the Association when it comes to covering the spread, now sitting at 6-16 ATS for the season.

Thunder get first cover since Durant's return

The Oklahoma City Thunder covered the spread for the first time since Kevin Durant's return by downing the Milwaukee Bucks 114-101 Tuesday night.

The Thunder, who closed as 10-point home favorites, had gone 0-3 against the spread since Durant made his season debut.

Oklahoma City will try to make it two covers in a row Thursday night when they host LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
