**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but………

13) I wrote this here last month but it bears repeating; former UCLA coach Jim Mora coached QB Josh Rosen for three years, and he said on NFL Network that if he was the Browns, he’d take Sam Darnold with the first pick, not Rosen.

Now Mora just got fired, so there is an interesting story or three there, but still. Can you ever, in the history of the world, remember a coach throwing his former player under the bus like this?

12) “He needs to be challenged intellectually so he doesn’t get bored.” Mora talking about Rosen.

I’ve heard this about Rosen before, that he quit playing youth tennis because he got bored with winning so much. You think Tom Brady gets bored with winning?? Nah, me neither.

11) Mora also said no GM has called him to talk about Rosen, which seems strange. NFL teams do a ridiculous amount of research on prospects— you don’t talk to his college coach?

10) Philip Rivers better not get hurt; Chargers signed Geno Smith as his backup- he’ll join Cardale Jones on the Chargers’ bench. Like I said, Rivers better not get hurt.

9) Since Bartolo Colon made his big league debut, 17 of the 30 major league teams have gotten new home ballparks.

8) Houston’s Marwin Gonzalez and Milwaukee’s Hernan Perez were only two players LY with 10+ starts at five different positions.

7) Mavericks’ owner Mark Cuban was in a scene in Showtime’s Billions Sunday night; not a very tough role— he played himself, but have to give him credit— he nailed it.

6) Solid discovery today in my local supermarket- they sell Dr Brown’s soda, which is usually only sold in delis. Got some black cherry and cream soda— that goes very well with the excellent sandwiches at the Carnegie Deli in the Mirage Casino in Las Vegas, but they’ll have to do for now with whatever I have to eat here at home.

5) Roof was open at Marlins Park Monday nite, will be open again tonight, weather permitting, making it six nights in a row the roof in Miami will be open. Last year, in 78 h0me games, Miami had the roof open only six times.

4) Reds 1, Cubs 0— Chicago is 2-3 to start the season; they’ve scored a total of one run in the three losses. Cubs have struck out 58 times in five games, an NL record for any team in their first five games.

3) Villanova 79, Michigan 62— Wolverines were 3-15 from floor in last 11:00 of first half, when this game was decided. DiVicenzo is Villanova’s 3rd-leading scorer but doesn’t start- he took this game over, scoring 18 in first half, 31 for the game.

This was first year the Super Bowl champ and NCAA basketball champ came from the same city.

2) This was the first national title game since the Magic-Bird final in 1979 with only one McDonald’s All-American playing in it. Just goes to show you that high school ratings can be very misleading.

1— The golf pool on this site starts this week with The Masters— if you’d like to get in, you pick three guys a week, can only use the same guy once a year. 18 tournament, then a 4-week playoff for the eight people who make it.

Schedule is on the golf page on this site— e-mail me at [email protected] if you’re interested.

NBA Betting Game of the Day: Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers

Toronto Raptors at Cleveland Cavaliers (-1.5, 223)

The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting hot at a good time and seek their ninth victory in the past 10 games when they host the Toronto Raptors Tuesday, riding a 7-2 ATS streak over those previous nine contests. Cleveland's revamped roster is finding a comfort zone as the Cavaliers are in third place in the Eastern Conference, a half-game ahead of the Philadelphia 76ers.

LeBron James is feeling good about Cleveland's postseason chances while fellow forward Kevin Love would like to see the Cavaliers reach the 50-victory mark.

"I think we'd all like to get 50 wins," Love told reporters after Sunday's 98-87 victory over the Dallas Mavericks. "If we don't, it's not going to be the 'end-of-the-world' type of deal. It's something, especially with ups and downs of any season, it would be great to get over that hump."

Toronto holds a two-game lead over Boston for the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference and the gap was narrowed when the Celtics posted a 110-99 victory over the Raptors on Saturday. Toronto needs to win just two of its final six games to set a new franchise mark for victories (56-26 in 2015-16).

The Raptors, who were one of the best bets in the NBA for most of the season, have watched their value plummet in recent games, failing to cover in eight straight outings entering Tuesday night.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TSN (Toronto), FS Ohio (Cleveland)

LINE: Cleveland opened -2 and moved to -1.5 while the total opened 225.5 and has dropped 2.5 points to 223. See updated line movement here.

INJURY REPORT: Cavaliers - G George Hill (Questionable, Ankle), G Kyle Korver (Questionable, Foot)

POWER RANKINGS: Raptors -11 - Cavaliers -3.7 + Home Court -3 = Raptors -4.3

WHAT SHARPS SAY: "As poorly as the Cavs have performed as home chalk this season (9-24-1 ATS), their play of late is encouraging as they captured eight wins in their last nine games. With Cleveland in danger of losing home-court advantage in the first round of the playoffs, this becomes not only a pivotal contest for the Cavs but a statement making one as well." - Marc Lawrence

MATCHUP CHART:

ABOUT THE RAPTORS (55-21 SU, 40-36 ATS, 39-36-1 O/U): Toronto has been a bit unsteady over the past two weeks with four losses in seven games but remaining on top in the East remains of paramount importance. "We want to win the Eastern Conference," All-Star shooting guard DeMar DeRozan told reporters. "That's our goal to fulfill that opportunity and we got to take advantage of it." DeRozan contributed 32 points, seven rebounds and seven assists in the loss to Boston and appears to have regained his shooting touch by going 19-of-31 over the past two games after struggling through a 17-of-49 stretch over the previous three contests. Toronto is 6-2 Over/Uunder in its last eight games and 21-17 O/U on the road this season.

ABOUT THE CAVALIERS (47-30 SU, 29-47-1 ATS, 36-39-2 O/U): James experienced a porous shooting performance against the Mavericks when he was just 5-of-21 from the field while posting his 17th triple-double of the season with 16 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists. "I missed four, five, maybe six layups, which I'm not accustomed to doing," James told reporters after the contest. "But me not shooting the ball well never stopped me making an impact on the game. So if I'm not shooting well, I gotta make sure I get my guys on time, on target with my passes and I gotta rebound and I gotta do other things to help us win and I was able to do that." Love had 13 points and 13 rebounds in the contest for his 30th double-double of this season and the 400th of his career. Cleveland has stayed Under the total in five of its last six games and is 17-19-2 O/U as a host this season.

TRENDS:

* Over is 5-1 in the last six meetings.
* Over is 4-1 in the last five meetings in Cleveland.
* Home team is 4-1-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Raptors are 2-7 ATS in the last nine meetings in Cleveland.
* Raptors are 1-4-1 ATS in the last six meetings.

CONSENSUS: 61 percent of spread bets are on Cleveland while 55 percent of total bets are on the Over.
