Late Update: Trailblazers 148, Nets 144, 2OT– Portland’s Jusuf Nurkic was taken off the court on a stretcher after what looked like a severe injury to his left leg.

**********

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

13) Duke beat Central Florida by a point Sunday. In the 25:00 Tacko Fall played, UCF was +16; they were -17 in the 15:00 he didn’t play. Pretty telling stat.

12) Denver Broncos suggested the NFL borrow the AAF’s version of onside kicks where a team can go for an “onside kick” by running a 4th-and-12 play from their own 28-yard line after a score, if they’re down by 17+ points, or trailing with 5:00 or less left in the game.

After the 4th-and-12 play, the game just continues from there.

NFL competition committee voted 7-1 in favor of this rule; Giants’ owner John Mara was the one vote against it, saying “What are we, the Arena Football League?”

24 of the 32 owners would have to vote “Yes” for it to become an actual rule.

11) From MetsMerizedOnline.com:

Mets owner Fred Wilpon is buying back a 12% stake of the team for about $180M, which values the Mets at about $1.5B, a lot less than the $2.1B Forbes magazine valued it at last year. If these numbers are right, thats a 28% decrease in value, in only one year.

The Wilpons now own 68% of the team, which is bad news for Mets fans everywhere.

10) Bears-Packers will be the Thursday night game in Week 1 of the NFL this season; this is the NFL’s 100th season, and Green Bay-Chicago is the league’s oldest rivalry.

New England will open at home on Sunday Night Football.

9) Milwaukee Brewers are playing couple of exhibition games against the Blue Jays in Montreal this week, but Ryan Braun forgot his passport, so he won’t be there. Whoops.

8) Ron Darling was talking on the Mets’ game the other day about how the Seattle Mariners have it worse than any other baseball team, as far as travel goes, since Seattle is way up there in the Pacific Northwest, pretty far away from all their opponents, except Oakland.

He was talking about Robinson Cano being 36 years old and how many games he will play this season. Darling said Cano should still be able to play 140 or so games, since the Mets’ travel will be a lot less arduous than the Mariners’ was.

7) Showtime has a 4-part series called Action airing this month, about the growth of legalized gambling. In the first show, a well-known professional gambler named Bill Krackomberger is profiled; they show him betting thousands of dollars ($3,300 a game) on several NFL games, yet he says that he probably cannot name 15 players in the NFL.

A friend in the same business confirmed that this is probably true. I’ve known of this guy for years as a sharp bettor; it is amazing to me that a guy can win betting the NFL but can’t at least name every starting QB in the league.

6) Johnny Manziel made his AAF debut for Memphis Sunday, going 3-5 for 48 yards passing, and running ball twice for 20 yards in his backup role. Starter Brandon Silvers won the game for Memphis, though, leading the game-tying drive in the last minute of regulation, then leading another TD drive in overtime.

Silvers, who played college ball at Troy, was 24-35 for 266 yards and two TDs.

That was the first overtime game in AAF history, by the way.

5) One thing I won’t miss about spring training ending; games where both teams are wearing the same color jersey.

4) When a player breaks his bat in a major league game, they actually sell the bat at concession stands in the stadium, and broken bats ain’t cheap.

I was in Philadelphia couple years ago, and was looking at the game-used items they sell there; jerseys, baseballs, bats, bases. Made the mistake of grabbing a bat by the barrel and got pine tar all over my hands. Sticky stuff.

3) In the last two weeks, Auburn won six games, counting the SEC tournament and then their two NCAA tournament wins. In the previous 13 years combined, Auburn had won a total of seven postseason games.

2) Jazz 125, Suns 92— Devin Booker scored 59 points in this one-sided game; Jimmer Fredette went 1-10 in 14:00 off the bench in his first NBA game in three years.

Booker stayed in the game in the last 0:20 with the Suns down 33, trying to get 60 points, but Utah fouled someone else intentionally so he couldn’t get the ball.

1) If you follow comments that Celtics players/coaches have made this season, sounds like they’re all having a miserable season. Boston is 43-31, right now they’re the #5-seed in the East but you get the impression they won’t be too unhappy when the season ends, and they can all go their separate ways.

Inside the Paint - Tuesday
Chris David

Game of the Night (TNT, 8:05 p.m. ET)
Houston (47-27 SU, 34-37-3 ATS) at Milwaukee (55-19 SU, 44-28-2 ATS)

There haven’t been many exciting games to watch in the NBA lately but that changes on Tuesday when the Bucks and Rockets square off in a possible preview of this year’s NBA Finals. Adding intrigue to the matchup will be the additional showdown between the leaders for the league’s Most Valuable Player award – Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo and Houston’s James Harden.

NBA Expert Tony Mejia weighed in on the matchup between the two All-Stars.

Mejia said, "Giannis Antetokounmpo and James Harden will only get stuck defending one another on switches and shouldn’t have much interaction after exchanging pleasantries prior to tip-off, so this isn’t a winner-take-all between the top two MVP candidates. At this point, the award is Greek Freak’s to lose since the Bucks are going to finish with the league’s top record barring a collapse. Harden has had a tremendous impact on the Rockets, doing the heavy lifting when Chris Paul and Clint Capela were sidelined in order to make the Southwest Division title they’re likely to bring home possible.”

“Unfortunately, the Rockets are going to have their hands full finishing off a top-four finish out West, which combined with the fact he already won last year, should lead to Antetokounmpo receiving more first-place votes. Giannis is now -250 to win MVP per Westgate while Harden is available at +200, so this race doesn’t seem all that close as we head into the regular season’s final 10-game stretch. A Houston win where Harden scores 50 or 60 points would spark one final flurry of debates, but ultimately, once Game 82 is played and Milwaukee finishes with the league’s top record, Antetokounmpo will finish ahead of Harden on most final MVP ballots.”

As Mejia mentioned, the Las Vegas Westgate SuperBook believes the MVP is a two-horse race and the only other player available for this wager is Oklahoma City’s Paul George, who sits at 40/1 and that’s impressive considering he was once a 250/1 long shot.

For the matchup between the teams, Milwaukee is listed as a four-point home favorite and beating the Bucks at the Fiserv Forum hasn’t been an easy task this season (30-6 SU, 22-14 ATS).

Mejia explained his position on the pair, “The Bucks are7-1 over their last eight home games, winning six of the games by at least 12 points to increase their league-leading margin of victory. The Rockets have won seven of eight road games, claiming Golden State, Boston, Toronto and most recently, New Orleans, among the victims. Their 14-2 run started with an upset in Oakland on Feb. 23, so they’ve been fantastic since getting healthy and will view this as another major test. The fact the Bucks won in Houston should be a motivating factor for the Rockets, who have beaten every team they’ve suffered a loss against this season with exception of the Clippers and this Milwaukee team they’ll be seeing for the second time.”

Milwaukee’s 116-109 at Houston on Jan. 9 as a 1 ½-point road favorite was a solid victory but the Rockets were without Chris Paul. For the rematch, it will be the Bucks playing short-handed as Malcolm Brogdon (heel) and Nikola Mirotic (hand) both remain ‘out’ for the team. Houston’s Eric Gordon (ankle) is ‘questionable.’

Houston has won and covered four straight and five of its last six games as an underdog, which means a money-line (+150) ticket could be in play.

The aforementioned first meeting in January went ‘under’ (229 ½) and the total opened slightly lower at 227 for Tuesday. Houston (44.7) and Milwaukee (38.1) are ranked first and second respectively in 3-pointers attempted but both sit in the bottom half of the league in 3-point field goal percentage. While Milwaukee leads the league with 117.5 points per game, Houston is ranked 11th at 113.1 PPG and that’s a drop-off from last season when it was fourth.

We’re still seeing high totals with Houston and savvy bettors going against their past perception have taken advantage of a 13-4 ‘under’ record for the Rockets since the All-Star break. Milwaukee has watched the 'over' go 18-17-1 at home.

Tight in the East

The first four seeds in the Eastern Conference have been locked up and the Boston Celtics are inches away from becoming the fifth team to clinch. That leaves us with three spots and five teams have a chance to earn a trip to the postseason and four of them are in action on Tuesday.

Charlotte (34-39 SU, 33-38-2 ATS) vs. San Antonio

Just when we thought the Hornets were dead in the water, they’ve ripped off three straight wins and two of the victories came against a pair of contenders in the East – Celtics and Raptors. Last Saturday’s 124-117 comeback victory over Boston as a four-point home underdog was very impressive but Sunday’s 115-114 buzzer beater win at Toronto on Sunday was definitely an eye-opener.

Fast forward to Tuesday and Charlotte has opened as a three-point home underdog to San Antonio, who is coming off a 115-96 road win over a short-handed Boston squad on Sunday. The Hornets did just but the Celtics as home ‘dogs but they’ve struggled in this role (3-5 SU, 4-3-1 ATS) this season.

The Hornets surprised the Spurs 108-99 on Jan. 14 as 7 ½-point road underdogs. Prior to that upset, San Antonio had won four straight games in this series and that includes their last two trips to Charlotte.

Orlando (36-38 SU, 39-34-1 ATS) at Miami (36-37 SU, 40-33 ATS)

Big game in the Southeast Division tonight and oddsmakers opened the Heat as 5 ½-point home favorites over the Magic for the fourth and final meeting of the season between the pair. These teams haven’t squared off since late December but Orlando is 2-1 through the first three encounters, and that includes a 105-90 win at Miami on Dec. 4. Including that win, the Magic have won four of their last five trips to South Florida. Orlando posted a 119-98 win over Philadelphia on Monday, which was its fifth consecutive victory. Unfortunately for Steve Clifford’s team, they’ve been very inconsistent on no rest this season, going 5-8 SU and 6-6-1 ATS. On the road in those back-to-back spots, Orlando is just 1-6 SU and 3-4 ATS.

The Heat have gone 9-3 in March and they’re coming off an impressive 3-1 road trip that included solid wins over the Thunder and Spurs. After dropping its first two games at home after the All-Star break, the club has gone 6-2. Knowing a setback tonight would lose all playoff tiebreakers with the Magic, a sense of urgency should be high in Miami for this game.

Detroit (37-36 SU, 38-33-2 ATS) at Denver

The Pistons opened the second-half of the season with an 8-1 run and that certainly helped their playoff push because they’ve been a mess lately. Since then, the club is 3-5 and they’ll finish off a five-game road trip on Tuesday at Denver. Detroit blasted Denver 129-103 as a two-point underdog on Feb. 4 and the ‘over’ (209) was never in doubt. Fortunately for the Pistons, they catch the Nuggets in a tough scheduling spot. Denver is returning home from a four-game trip on the East Coast and then it heads on the road for a back-to-back set starting Thursday against the Rockets and Thunder. Denver is tied with Milwaukee with the best home record (30-6 SU, 23-13 ATS) and that includes an 11-2 record versus teams from the East. More importantly, the Nuggets have gone 9-4 ATS in those games.

Roll the Ball Out

There are three meaningless games in the Association on Tuesday and shootouts are expected in two of those contests.

Atlanta at New Orleans: These teams played to a wild affair a couple weeks ago and Atlanta captured a 128-116 home win over New Orleans. The ‘over’ (238) connected and the total has been pushed up to 240 for the rematch. The Hawks have watched the ‘over’ cash in seven of their last 10 on the road and they’re style certainly fits a shootout on any day but can you trust the Pelicans to score? New Orleans has been held to 96 and 90 points in its last two games and the limited minutes of Anthony Davis doesn't help your handicapping. If you’re leaning high, a first-quarter ‘over’ wager seems more doable since AD will likely see 10 minutes early.

Sacramento at Dallas: No overnight line was posted due to the ‘questionable’ status of Mavericks guard Luke Doncic. These teams just met on Mar. 21 and Sacramento earned a 116-100 win over Dallas and the ‘under’ (230) was never in doubt. The last two meetings in Texas both went ‘over’ as the Kings captured wins in each contest while scoring 120 and 114 points. Sacramento was once a great ‘over’ bet on the road but things have started to balance out. In 2019, the Kings have watched the ‘under’ go 11-4-1 in away games and the four ‘over’ tickets came against playoff teams. It's apparent that the club is only getting up for quality opponents and riding that angle might be the sound investment on Tuesday.

Washington at L.A. Lakers: The Wizards blasted the Lakers 128-110 on Dec. 16 and the ‘over’ (231 ½) cashed in that contest. Washington point guard John Wall had 40 points and 14 assists in that game but he’s ‘out’ for the season due to injury. Los Angeles has been hit by the injury bug as well and with playoffs out of sight, the club has been playing out the string. They did just win on Sunday, a 111-106 home win over Sacramento, but we haven’t seen the Lakers capture back-to-back wins since mid-January. In the second-half of the season, L.A. has gone 0-4 after a win and the ‘over’ went 3-1 while the defense was diced up for 128.5 PPG in those setbacks.

Celtics finally at full strength

The Celtics have lost four straight games and have historically struggled playing on the road versus Cleveland winning only one of the last six. The Cavaliers have struggled all season long losing seven of the last 10 to put their record at 19-55.

In the head-to-head, the Cavs have shot the ball poorly averaging 41 percent shooting over their most recent three and have really struggled early on in games, being outscored by Boston 62-51 in the first half. Look for the Cavaliers early struggles to continue as they are the lowest scoring first half team in the Association. Back Boston on the first half spread of 2.5-points.

Figuring out their road troubles

San Antonio heads to Charlotte having won eight of their last 10 games, although they have been inconsistent on the road this season. They find themselves in a tightly contested Western Conference playoff race with three wins separating fourth from eighth.

The Hornets have beat some quality teams down the stretch, but without Nicolas Batum and Cody Zeller in the lineup, their offense might struggle. Back San Antonio on the money line as they have won 14 of the most recent 16 games versus Charlotte, and six of the last seven on the road in the head-to-head.

Underrated big man

The Hawks versus Pelicans game unsurprisingly has the highest game total of the night at 242. Both teams rank first and fifth in terms of possessions per game and love to push the pace. The Pelicans have surrendered an average of 119 points per game over their most recent three, and the Hawks have given up 120.7.

Atlanta's Dewayne Dedmon is in a favorable matchup against a Pelicans team surrendering 23.7 points on 55.1 percent shooting and 16.5 boards per game to opposing centers. Look for him to have an impact on both sides of the court, and back Over his points, rebounds, assists total Over 21.5.

Smooth Shooting Early

Houston has won 14 of its last 16 overall, and seven of the last eight on the road. Today the Rockets take on a Bucks squad who have only lost six times at home all year, but will be without Pau Gasol, Tony Snell, Nikola Mirotic and Malcolm Brogdon.

The Bucks rank second in the NBA in first-half points per game at home averaging 61.1. The Rockets have averaged 59.3 first-half points a game ranking them sixth. With Milwaukee shooting the ball super efficiently averaging 48.3 percent from the floor, and the Rockets 45.1 over their most recent three games, take the first-half game total Over 113.

Putting the D in Denver and Detroit

Both the Pistons and Nuggets rank in the top 10 in opponent points per game with Detroit allowing 108, and the Nuggets holding opponents to 104.8 on their home court.

The Under has cashed on 13 of the Nuggets' most recent 15 games, six of seven at home, and seven of the most recent nine in the head-to-head versus the Pistons. With the average score over the most recent 10 in the head-to-head 101-100 in favor of Detroit, back the game total Under 211 as defense should be a priority.
