Armadillo: Monday's six-pack

Odds to win The Masters next month:

8-1— Rory McIlroy

12-1— Jon Rahm

14-1— Justin Thomas

16-1— Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson

20-1— Eldrick Woods, Xander Schauffele

25-1— Cantlay, Fowler, Reed, Scott, Finau

**********

Armadillo: Monday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports weekend……..

13) Brooklyn Nets fired coach Kenny Atkinson this week: why? They were 42-40 LY, are 28-34 this year, despite a ton of injuries. Everyone thinks Atkinson is a good coach, so why did he get fired? I’ve read more than once that he won’t be out of work for very long.

Nets’ two best players are Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving; they’re both hurt. Durant hasn’t played since hurting his achilles in the Finals last spring.

Have to think the players had input in this; the GM went out of his way to praise Atkinson, so it definitely wasn’t him. The GM was vague when asked if the players had input in the decision.

Maybe the highest-paid player should coach the team, instead of having an actual coach. You would hear guys clamoring for a real coach very quickly, if that ever happened.

12) Elon 68, Wm & Mary 63— Wm & Mary has never played in the NCAA Tournament, which means they’ve never won the CAA tournament; this was the 7th year in a row they were a top-4 seed in the CAA tourney, during which time they went 77-47 in regular season CAA games.

Tribe was the #2-seed this year, but they get upset in their first tournament game, despite being the #49 experience team in the country.

11) Bradley 80, Valparaiso 66— Braves win Arch Madness as the #4-seed; they won it LY as the #5-seed, first time a team won consecutive conference tournaments, being the #4 or lower seed in both events anywhere in country since Michigan in 2017, ’18.

10) Illinois 78, Iowa 76— Illini were down 10 early, but shot 62% inside arc, turned ball over only five times, and won for fifth time in their last six games. Iowa lost eight of ten conference road games this season.

9) Saint Mary’s 89, Pepperdine 82, 2OT— This game was very late Saturday night; it ended around 2:50am here in the east, so with the clocks moving forward, it came pretty close to ending after 4am. Gaels led by 13 in the second half, but blew the lead.

A player on both teams played all 50:00; six guys played 44:00+; this was a great game to watch, very fun, the players leaving it all on the floor.

Colbey Ross scored 43 for the Waves; Jordan Ford scored 43 for Saint Mary’s; both are 6-1 guards. College basketball is a guards’ game, my friends.

8) The young lady who is the dugout reporter for the Milwaukee Brewers in spring training TV games acts as her own interpreter during the game, which is pretty cool. She asks the player a question in Spanish, listens to the answer, then tells us what was said. Never saw that before.

7) Upsets:
— Elon (+7) 68, Wm & Mary 63
— North Dakota (+5.5) 74, South Dakota 71

6) I’d be OK with offensive goaltending being eliminated in basketball; saves the officials some controversial decisions, makes for some more exciting plays.

5) Los Angeles 41, Tampa Bay 34— Strange moment in the XFL: LA Wildcats’ QB Josh Johnson can apparently hear everything that the coaches are saying on their headsets. At one point, the coaches were bickering while he was in the huddle, which upset Johnson.

When Johnson comes off the field, he calls the press box and yells at OC Norm Chow, telling him the arguing has to stop, it is too distracting. He hangs up before Chow can answer him. Interesting moment. Wonder if that ever happens in the NFL.

Tampa Bay has outgained four of its five opponents, but they’re 1-4; they’re TERRIBLE in the red zone, very, very bad- they blew an 18-point lead in this game.

4) In spring training games, the base umpires don’t umpire the same base the whole day, they switch around a couple of times during the game.

3) Don Orsillo is the TV voice of the San Diego Padres; from 2001-15, he was the TV voice of the Red Sox. First game he ever did for NESN in 2001, was Hideo Nomo’s no-hitter, which is a very cool way of breaking into the major leagues.

2) Struck me the other day how much the job of manager has changed in baseball since I was a kid; back then, guys like Earl Weaver, Dick Williams, Sparky Anderson, Tommy Lasorda, they ran their franchises, what they said was gospel. Today? Not so much.

Managers have to be kinder/gentler these days; God forbid anyone gets their feelings hurt. The analytics nerds (I say that with love, I’m a nerd, too) tell them what lineups to play. Can you imagine an Ivy League nerd telling Earl Weaver what lineup to use? Ha!!!!

1) So you’re Virginia Tech’s basketball team, and you had a tough year, going 7-13 in ACC; you’re the #11-seed in ACC tournament, but the good news is you play the last place team in the first round of the ACC tournament, so at least you’ll win a game, right?

Except that this year, the #14-seed is North Carolina, a way better-than-normal last place team that just went toe-to-toe twice with Duke. Not good for the Hokies.

NBA Betting Odds, Preview and Tips for Monday March 9
Kevin Rogers

Toronto Raptors at Utah Jazz
Vivint Smart Home Arena – 9:05 p.m. ET
TOR: 45-18 SU, 34-28-1 ATS, 34-28-1 O/U
UTA: 41-22 SU, 30-31-2 ATS, 33-30 O/U

Last 10 games:
TOR: 6-4 SU, 4-5-1 ATS, 5-5 O/U
UTA: 6-4 SU, 3-6-1 ATS, 5-5 O/U

Current form:
The Raptors are playing in the finale of their five-game road West Coast swing following Sunday’s 118-113 victory at Sacramento. Toronto lost the opener at Denver, 133-118, marking its third consecutive loss prior to victories at Phoenix and Golden State.

The ‘over’ hit in each of the first four games of this trip, while the Raptors own a 6-3 SU and 4-5 ATS mark with no rest this season.

The Jazz have caught fire by winning five consecutive games, which came on the heels of a four-game skid. Utah swept a four-game road trip out east, capped off by a 111-105 triumph at Detroit on Saturday, in spite of failing to cover as eight-point favorites.

Three of the four wins came against teams not going to the playoffs, but the most impressive victory came at Boston last Friday night as a 1 ½-point underdog, 99-94.

Head-to-Head:
Toronto has taken seven of the last eight meetings from Utah since November 2015. The most recent win for the Raptors came in a 130-110 blowout on December 1 at Scotiabank Arena, as Toronto jumped out to a 77-37 halftime lead.

Eight Raptors scored in double-figures, led by Pascal Siakam’s 35 points as Toronto cruised in spite of getting outscored by 20 points in the second half. Toronto has actually captured the last three meetings in Salt Lake City, including a 124-111 victory last season.

Betcha Didn’t Know:
-- The Raptors have compiled a 4-8 SU and 5-7 ATS record as a road underdog this season, while all 12 games came against teams that currently own winning records.

-- The Jazz are 4-1 SU/ATS in the last five home contests off a road trip of at least two games, as the only loss to the Nuggets as 10-point favorites on February 5.

Milwaukee Bucks at Denver Nuggets
Pepsi Center – 9:05 p.m. ET

MIL: 53-11 SU, 36-28 ATS, 30-33-1 O/U
DEN: 42-21 SU, 28-31-4 ATS, 30-32-1 O/U

Last 10 games:
MIL: 7-3 SU, 5-5 ATS, 3-7 O/U
DEN: 5-5 SU, 3-7 ATS, 6-3-1 O/U

Current form:
The Bucks are coming off consecutive losses for the first time this season after losing to the Lakers and Suns. After suffering a 10-point defeat at Los Angeles on Friday, Milwaukee fell behind Phoenix, 47-28 following 12 minutes of play in Sunday’s 140-131 setback as 6 ½-point favorites.

The Bucks played without last season’s Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo, who missed the game resting his knee and will sit out again on Monday.

The Nuggets are listed as a home favorite against the Bucks on Monday.

The Nuggets completed a clunky two-game road trip by edging the Hornets, 114-112, followed by a 104-102 loss at Cleveland on Saturday. Denver closed as 9 ½-point favorites in each game, as the Nuggets also failed to cash in a 116-100 home loss to Golden State last Wednesday as hefty 16-point chalk.

This is the beginning of a tough stretch for Denver, who plays seven of the next eight games on the road following Monday’s contest against Milwaukee. Among the opponents during this span include the Mavericks, Lakers, Clippers, Thunder, and Raptors.

Head-to-Head:
Milwaukee pulled off the two-game sweep of Denver last season, but the Nuggets shocked the Bucks at Fiserv Forum as 12 ½-point underdogs on January 31 in a 127-115 win. The Bucks led by seven points at halftime before the Nuggets outscored Milwaukee in the second half, 67-48 as Denver knocked down 22 three-pointers in the victory.

The underdog has covered in five of the last six meetings, as the Bucks cashed in their last two visits to Pepsi Center.

Betcha Didn’t Know:
-- Milwaukee last dropped three consecutive games in the regular season in the 2017-18 season, while posting an 8-1 SU and 7-2 ATS mark with no rest this season.

-- Although the Nuggets have struggled to cover big numbers of late, Denver has put together a 5-1 SU/ATS in the last six games as a favorite of seven points or less with the only loss coming at Detroit in overtime.

CHARLOTTE HORNETS AT ATLANTA HAWKS
STRUGGLING OFFENSES

The Hawks hope to snap their three-game losing streak as they host the Hornets who have struggled all season long, averaging a league low 100.4 points per game on the road.

Similarily, the Hawks have struggled on offense recently, shooting just 32 and 33 percent from the floor in two of their last three contests. Expect the offensive woes to continue on both sides tonight, and bet Under the game total of 223.5.

MILWAUKEE BUCKS AT DENVER NUGGETS
MISSING THE MVP

The Nuggets are 5.5-point favorites as they host the Milwaukee Bucks who will be without Giannis Antetokounmpo for tonight's matchup and are on the tail end of a back-to-back. The Nuggets have rotated losses over their last five games, but are happy to return home where they are 24-8 on the season.

With the Bucks losing three of their last four contests, and now being without the MVP front-runner, look for Milwaukee's struggles to continue. Last time Giannis sat out, the Bucks lost 140-131 to the Suns. Take Denver on the 5.5-point spread.

JAMMING WITH JAMAL

Although these teams have't met up this season, in six career games against the Bucks Jamal Murray has averaged 18.7 ppg on 49 percent shooting from the floor and 41 percent from beyond the arc. He's averaging right around that number on the season, and should be a great play to go Over based on volume of attempts alone. Bet Over his points total of 18.5.

TORONTO RAPTORS AT UTAH JAZZ
STARTING QUICK AT HOME

Toronto are coming off a 5-point victory last night in a hard fought battle versus the Kings. Tonight, they travel to Utah as 4.5-point road underdogs to take on a Jazz team that has won five straight contests.

The Jazz have gotten out to quick starts in the first quarter at home, averaging 29.2 points per game, and that number has gone up to 31 over their last three contests. Look for them to build up a quick lead early versus a Raptors team averaging only 27.1 first-quarter ppg away from home. Take the Jazz on the first quarter moneyline.

ACTIVE ON THE BOARDS

In the first meeting between the Raptors and Jazz this season, Rudy Gobert went 4-of-7 from the floor for 12 points and 11 rebounds through 28 minutes.

With the Raptors playing on a back-to-back going up against a Jazz defense that ranks eighth in effective field goal percentage, expect Gobert to be very active on the glass. Bet Over his rebounding total of 12.5.
