Pick 'n' Roll: Wednesday's best NBA bets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Philadelphia vs. Toronto (-5.5, 185)

The Raptors catch the Sixers in a back-to-back spot Wednesday night in Toronto, which is good news for Toronto bettors.

Philadelphia is 0-2 in the second game of back-to-back situations in this early season and both defeats came on the road. The Sixers might have a better shot at winning in Toronto after playing a depleted Utah squad Tuesday night at home.

Then again, Philly can’t score. The under is 5-1 in Sixers games this season and they’ve managed to score more than 88 points in only two of their games. It’s so bad, coaches put white X’s on the court in Monday’s practice to help the players get back to basics and get used to spacing around forward Elton Brand.

Pick: Raptors


L.A. Lakers vs. New Orleans (-1, 194)


The Lakers are off to the kind of start you draw up on the blackboard before the season begins and only hope it comes to fruition. Los Angeles leads the league in scoring offense, scoring defense and they’re 5-0 with five convincing victories so far.

Things are about to get tougher, though. They face their first back-to-back road games Tuesday and Wednesday night when they tip off with the Mavericks before traveling to New Orleans.

The Hornets probably aren’t the team you want to face second in this situation. They’re an up-tempo team that likes to move the ball and fast break and they’ve topped the 100-point total in four of their six games this season.

Hornets guard Chris Paul also has six straight double-doubles to start the season, setting the NBA record with a win over Miami Saturday night.

Pick: Lakers

Ice picks: Wednesday's best NHL bets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Washington Capitals at Carolina Hurricanes (-115, 5.5)

While reigning MVP Alex Ovechkin is trying to break his early-season scoring slump, Washington finds itself tied atop the Southeast Division.

The Capitals can thank Alexander Semin for putting them in that position.

So far, Ovechkin has three goals and seven assists in his first 12 games, but the Capitals don't seem to be missing him much. That's because Semin has gotten off to a torrid start with 11 goals and 11 assists in his first 14.

Ovechkin and Semin each had a hand in Washington's 4-2 win over Tampa Bay on Monday. Ovechkin assisted on Mike Green's tally during a three-goal first period, and later broke a career-high nine-game goalless drought.

Ovechkin and Semin have done their share of frustrating the Hurricanes recently. Last Thursday, Ovechkin had three assists - two coming on goals by Semin - in a 3-2 win over Carolina.

Carolina (8-5-2) has alternated wins and losses in its last four games, including a 5-2 defeat against Atlanta on Sunday.

Rod Brind'Amour and Ray Whitney scored to give Carolina a 2-1 lead in the second. Cam Ward, though, gave up four unanswered goals and finished with 17 saves.

Ward has lost his last three starts against Washington despite a 2.92 GAA. Backup Michael Leighton is 4-1-0 with a 2.37 GAA this season, but has never faced the Caps.

Pick: Capitals



Boston Bruins at Chicago Blackhawks (-130, 5.5)

With four straight victories, the Blackhawks seek their longest winning streak in nearly seven years Wednesday night when they host a Bruins club that's won six of seven. Chicago, off to its best start since its last playoff season, beat Calgary 6-1 on Sunday night.

Patrick Kane and Martin Havlat each had a goal and two assists for the Blackhawks, who are looking for their longest win streak since a six-game run from Dec. 26, 2001-Jan. 6, 2002.

They also improved to 6-0-2 at the United Center, where they are averaging the highest attendance in the league.

"It's a great motivator for our club," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville told the NHL's official Web site. "With their backing it creates a great environment with excitement and noise. The pace of the game is quicker when they're into it. It's been a great start. It's 21,000 every night. It has to be the greatest place to play."

Cristobal Huet made 22 saves to record his second straight win Sunday night against the Flames. Although Huet has yet to start consecutive games this season while sharing time with Nikolai Khabibulin, Quenneville may be tempted to give him another start Wednesday. Huet is 10-3-0 with a 1.91 goals-against average versus the Bruins, while Khabibulin is 6-9-0 with two ties and a 3.18 GAA.

Boston is getting stellar goaltending regardless of who is in net, having allowed seven goals over the last six games. Tim Thomas has made at least 30 saves in each of his last four starts and owns a .944 save percentage on the season. Manny Fernandez got the start Saturday and stopped 32 shots as the Bruins beat Buffalo 3-1 to complete a perfect three-game homestand.

The Bruins have won the last two meetings with the Blackhawks, including a 5-3 victory Dec. 29, 2006 in their last visit to Chicago.

Pick: Blackhawks

Portland Trail Blazers at Miami Heat [ESPN | 8 PM ET]

Blazers: Portland opened a five-game road trip on Monday with a 106-99 victory at Orlando. However, the Blazers could be without leading scorer Brandon Roy, who scored a team-high 27 points against the Magic. Roy left the game with back spasms and missed Tuesday's practice. The team did get some good news though, as C Greg Oden has been practicing and could make his return against the Heat. Portland head coach Nate McMillan said Joel Pryzbilla will continue to start, but Oden appears ready to contribute off the bench.

Road team is 8-3 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
The UNDER is 8-3 in Portland's last 11 road games.

Key Injuries - G Brandon Roy (back spasms) is questionable.
C Greg Oden (foot) is doubtful.

PROJECTED SCORE: 93

Heat (-2, O/U 189: Miami will be trying to start 4-0 at home for the first time in franchise history and hopes to return to dominant form there following a close call on Monday. The Heat have won their first three home games by an average of 18 points, but they had to rally back to beat the Nets, 99-94. They trailed by 10 points a little more than halfway through the fourth quarter before outscoring New Jersey 26-11 the rest of the way. “Did you see the fourth? I mean, wow,” Miami rookie F Michael Beasley said. “(Dwyane Wade’s) such a great player and he showed again tonight, even when he’s sluggish for the first two, three quarters, he’s going to finish with a bang.” Wade scored 19 of his game-high 33 points in the fourth quarter.

Heat are 8-3-1 ATS in their last 12 games overall.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Miami's last 9 home games.

Key Injuries - F Shawn Marion (groin) is day-to-day.

PROJECTED SCORE: 95



Houston Rockets at Phoenix Suns [ESPN | 10:30 PM ET]

Rockets: Houston has not been nearly as good defensively this year despite adding Ron Artest in the offseason. While the Rockets are surrendering an average of 92.6 points per game, that includes wins over Memphis, Oklahoma City and the LA Clippers - teams that are a combined 5-17. They are giving up 104.3 points per game in their other four games against quality opponents. Defense will likely be the key to this game, as the Suns are 6-0 when scoring more than 95 points this season.

Rockets are 2-9 ATS in the last 11 meetings.
The OVER is 3-1 in Houston's last 4 games overall.

Key Injuries - F Shane Battier (foot) is day-to-day.

PROJECTED SCORE: 97 (OVER - Total Play of the Day)

Suns (-3.5, O/U 194): Phoenix has adjusted well to new head coach Terry Porter's offense with the team still among the league leaders at 103.3 points per game. In fact, Porter is off to the best start of any coach in franchise history at 6-2. The Suns got a season-high 50 points from their bench in a 107-102 win over Memphis on Monday behind 27 from Leandro Barbosa and 13 from Boris Diaw. “It was the first time that I was doing well and I felt like I could go to the basket and I could shoot,” Barbosa said. “My teammates were helping me and the coach was helping me, too, and it was great.”

Favorite is 7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
The OVER is 6-2 in Phoenix's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 101
