Daily Sports Roundup

Thursday, February 5

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Celtics and Lakers renew hostilities, Butler tries to rebound from a defeat, and Lefty tees it up in the Buick Invitational.

Tipping Off in the NBA

If the Celtics are going to keep their lengthy winning streak alive on Thursday night they're going to have to fend off the visiting Lakers. These two teams last met in their Christmas Day matchup, with Los Angeles picking up a 92-83 victory at home. Kobe Bryant led the way with 27 points for the Lakers in that contest, while Kevin Garnett (who is recovering from the flu) had 22 points for the Celtics.

Lakers/Celtics is the opener of the weekly Thursday TNT doubleheader - the nightcap sees the Mavericks in Utah to take on the Jazz. Utah fell 115-108 to Dallas on January 17, with Dirk Nowitzki pouring in a game-high 39 points. Jazz guard Deron Williams, who had 30 against Dallas in January, is day-to-day with a sore knee. The only other game on the NBA schedule for Thursday night is a 7:00pm ET matchup between the Pacers and Sixers; that games tips off in Philly.

The March to Madness

No. 11 Butler will play on the road against Detroit in college hoops action on Thursday night, and they'll be trying to shake off a 75-66 upset loss versus Wisconsin-Green Bay in their last outing. The Bulldogs fell to 19-2 straight-up and 11-7-1 against-the-spread with that defeat. The Titans beat Youngstown State 68-64 in overtime last time out, and they're at 6-15 SU and 7-12 ATS so far.

The top-ranked college hoops team in action is No. 9 Xavier; they'll host Temple. As well, it'll be No. 18 Gonzaga vs. Portland, No. 22 Washington vs. California, No. 23 Illinois vs. Wisconsin, No. 24 Arizona State vs. Oregon, and New Mexico State vs. No. 25 Utah State. The Aggies are ranked for the first time in five years.

A Trip Around the Rink

New Senators head coach Cory Clouston will try again for his first NHL victory on Thursday night - but his team will be in tough at home against the conference-leading Bruins. The Sens fell 1-0 to the Kings in Clouston's debut behind the bench on Tuesday night, with goaltender Brian Elliott making 26 saves in the loss. The Bruins picked up a 6-4 win over Ottawa when the teams met January 8.

There are seven other games on the NHL's schedule for Thursday night, including a big Western clash between the Blackhawks and Flames in Calgary. As well, it'll be Los Angeles at Washington, the Islanders at Florida, Anaheim at Nashville, Edmonton at St. Louis, Dallas at Colorado, and Carolina at San Jose.

Rounding Out the Slate

Phil Mickelson struggled in his first PGA Tour event of the season last week, but the Vegas oddsmakers still have him pegged as the 6/1 favorite to grab the win this week in the Buick Invitational at Torrey Pines. Padraig Harrington is next at 7/1 odds, followed by Retief Goosen at 12/1, and both Luke Donald and Camilo Villegas at 15/1. Mickelson won this event in both 2000 and 2001, but (injured) Tiger Woods has dominated since then with five victories over the past six years.

Six-pack for Thursday

-- How is it that someone who is nominated for a job in the Cabinet does not have the brains to pay his taxes? These things get checked.......

-- Two GMs came out and said they're not pursuing Manny Ramirez, in effect screwing scumweasel agent Boras' attempts to create "secret team" strategy that he uses to jack up the price the Dodgers are going to pay.

-- First spring training games are Feb. 25; World Baseball Classic starts March 7. Caribbean World Series is on MLB Network all this week.

-- Its going to be weird seeing Matt Holliday in an A's uniform; weird in a good way, but weird nonetheless.

-- Why does Mark Kotsay always have back surgery right before spring training; why doesn't he have it done right after the season? This is the second time in last three years this has happened........

-- How are the Cardinals not one of the top six favorites for Super Bowl next season? They're in a weak division, they figure to make playoffs.

Thursday's List of 13: Wrapping up a college basketball Wednesday

13) Typically strange night in college hoop, as Wake, Duke not only lost, they got pounded by conference rivals- Blue Devils hasn't lost at Clemson since 1997. Now they've lost their last two games against the Tigers.

12) Clemson spanked Duke 74-47, rolling to 33-21 halftime lead, coasting in from there. Lot of good ballclubs in ACC-- Wake Forest was #1 in the country little while ago- they lost by 27 at Miami last night. It was first time in eleven years Duke lost by more than 20 points.

11) 9-3 VCU lost at 3-9 NC-Wilmington, and 10-2 Northeastern also lost, at 2-10 William & Mary, so strangeness seeped down to the Colonial, as things tighten up a lot in that league.

10) In the Big East, Syracuse snapped their skid, beating a PG-challenged West Virginia team by 15. No such luck for Notre Dame, which got waxed 93-83 at Cincinnati, its sixth loss in row. Time for Dick Vitake to shut up about Irish being an at-large team- they're headed to the NIT, at best.

9) I'm thinking Fran Fraschilla is now the best TV analyst in college hoop.

8) Arkansas had runs of 16-0/8-0 in first half, but led 35-33 at the half, in a very odd game, where last 0:34 of a nailbiter played out with neither team calling a timeout, very unusual. Vols won by hoop on basket by Maze, his only basket of the second half.

7) Jay Bilas is hideous on TV; hes on this toughness theme now-- after a Clemson run late in game, he had this gem: "....there will be blood on floor at the next Duke practice." He ripped Clemson's Oglesby for taking two bad shots when Tigers were up 26 with 3:00 left. Cheer up, fella.

6) Blowout City- Michigan State led Minnesota 42-16 at the half; UCLA was up 36-17 at one time over USC- those are two good teams that were pummeled last night. Howland and Izzo have teams that are improving.

5) Congrats to Indiana for getting into win column in league play, beating Iowa 68-60; Hoosiers led by 13 at half. Indiana is going to be really good someday because Crean is a great coach, but they're depleted right now.

4) Providence lost 94-91 at home to Villanova; Friars were down 49-34 at the half; for the game, they were 17-40 from the arc, 10-29 inside the arc, and 20-30 at the foul line. 10 for 29 inside the arc? Wow.

3) Missouri pulled upset in Austin, beating Texas 69-65 in a terrific game, first time in seven years Longhorns have lost consecutive home games.

2) Wichita State, Illinois State both snapped road losng streaks in MVC, with Shockers handing Indiana State yet another loss, while Redbirds got an overtime win in Carbondale, sweeping season series from the Salukis.

1) When I hear those Billy Mays/ESPN commercials, when he screams in his unique way, just want to get in my car, drive to Connecticut and blow an airhorn in the ear of the person who created those commercials. Really, do we need to hear this guy screaming five times every game?

Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics [TNT | 8 PM ET]

Lakers: LA returns to the site of Boston's championship celebration following Game 6 of the 2008 NBA Finals, and at least one person has not forgotten that memorable experience. “We had our most disappointing moments on that Boston Celtic court in Game 6,” Lakers head coach Phil Jackson said. “To be not only beaten, but humiliated, in a game like that to end the series, and have them celebrating and throwing (stuff) all over the court, disrupting the game with 2 1/2 minutes left to go. It was in your face and everybody remembers that. There’s a certain element of, you know, we have some serious work to do.”

Lakers are 1-8 ATS in the last 9 meetings.
The OVER is 7-1 in LA's last 8 games overall.

Key Injuries - C Andrew Bynum (knee) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Celtics (-5.5, O/U 204): Boston got the day off on Wednesday, as All-Star forward Kevin Garnett is still recovering from the flu. Garnett is expected to return after missing two games, and his presence could be the key since Lakers center Andrew Bynum is out 8-12 weeks with a tear in his right knee. That will obviously mean more pressure on LA star Kobe Bryant, who has totaled 97 points in the last two games. “It’ll be one for the ages,” Celtics guard Ray Allen said. “People will be excited. It’s a big game. It’s definitely a playoff atmosphere. We lost to them to the first time so we’ll be looking forward to it.”

Celtics are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 4-1 in Boston's last 5 games overall.

Key Injuries - F Kevin Garnett (flu) is probable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz [TNT | 10:30 PM ET]

Mavs:

Mavs are 7-21-1 ATS in their last 29 Thursday games.
The UNDER is 7-2 in the last 9 meetings at Utah.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Jazz (NA):

Jazz are 10-1-1 ATS in the last 12 meetings at Utah.
The OVER is 14-4 in Utah's last 18 games overall.

Key Injuries - G Deron Williams (quad) is questionable.
G C.J. Miles (shoulder) is questionable.
F Andrei Kirilenko (ankle) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Pick ‘n’ Roll: NBA bets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Los Angeles Lakers at Boston Celtics (-5.5, 204)

Doc Rivers thinks Boston has been playing its best basketball lately. In fact, Rivers thinks his club is playing better than during its 19-game winning streak.

"I just think we are playing together," Rivers told the Providence Journal. "I keep going back to that 19-game winning streak. I said we were winning games but we weren't playing in my opinion, the Celtics way - the way we established last year."

Boston is 11-0 straight up (SU) and 9-2 against the spread (ATS) in its last 11 overall. It is unbeaten in its last six and 21-1 in its last 22 overall at home.

The Lakers, meanwhile, are 7-3 in their last 10 but will be shorthanded against the surging Celtics. Los Angeles starting center Andrew Bynum is sidelined for the next eight to 12 weeks with a knee injury.

Expect the C's to attack L.A.'s Paul Gasol constantly Thursday.

Gasol will be the only consistent low-post scoring threat for L.A. as well as anchor its D' in the paint.

Los Angeles is 1-8 ATS in its last nine against the Celtics and is 0-4 ATS in its last four visits to Boston.

Pick: Celtics

Dallas Mavericks at Utah Jazz (N/A)

Less than two weeks ago, Dallas nabbed a home victory over the Jazz.

Expect a similar outcome on the road Thursday.

Utah is just 3-2 straight up (SU) at home in its last five and is 3-7 against the spread (ATS) in its last 10 overall.

Injuries to Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko and Deron Williams haven't helped. Utah is just 19-23 ATS combined with Kirilenko, Williams and Boozer on the sidelines.

But there is no doubt that the Mavericks have been excelling recently against the Jazz, especially Dirk Nowitzki.

"He (Nowitzki) looks like he's motivated every time he plays against us," Utah head coach Jerry Sloan told reporters.

Nowitzki put on a clinic in his last tilt against Utah, making 16-of-20 shots and scoring 39 points to carry the Mavericks to a 115-108 victory over the Jazz.

Dallas is 4-1 ATS in its last five overall. The Jazz, meanwhile, are 0-6 ATS in their last six against a team with a winning record.

Pick: Jazz

Gonzaga Bulldogs at Portland Pilots (+9.5, 134.5)

Both programs recently preyed on the St. Mary's Gaels, who are missing their star guard Patty Mills. But while the Zags’ win came as no surprise, the Pilots continue to be the WCC's little wonder.

Portland was originally picked to finish sixth in the conference but has clawed its way to the top of the standings, setting up Thursday's battle for first place. The Pilots have gotten the job done with young returning talent that plays near-flawless basketball and makes the most of opportunities.

"It's huge that we've put ourselves in this position," coach Eric Reveno told the San Francisco Chronicle. "The game itself is not. But if we wake up Friday 7-1, it could become a little distracting."

Portland is ranked sixth in 3-point shooting in the country. It knocked down 11-of-18 from beyond the arc against the Gaels and got 27 points from Nik Raivio.

Pick: Portland +9.5

Illinois Fighting Illini at Wisconsin Badgers (-3, 121)

The Wisconsin Badgers were at least supposed to be competitive in the Big Ten this year. But now that Bo Ryan's kids have dropped six straight games and two of those losses have come in what used to be the impenetrable Kohl Center.

Ryan has been mixing up his rotation in hopes of sparking his team. The Badgers have been pushed around down low in recent games, leaving them to go with a bigger lineup. That could come in handy facing Illinois seven-footer Mike Tisdale.

The Illini are one of the best teams on the boards in the Big Ten, pulling down over 30 rebounds per conference clash. They also opted for a new look on offense, pulling Tisdale outside the key to open the lanes for the Illini's dangerous backcourt.

Pick: Illinois +3
