Daily Sports Roundup

Thursday, February 12

Today in the Daily Sports Roundup: The Celtics look to beat the Mavericks down in Texas, UCLA meets Arizona State, and the PGA hits the links at Pebble Beach.

Tipping Off in the NBA

The NBA closes out the first half of their season on Thursday night with their last three games before the All-Star Break. Highlighting that slate is a clash between the Celtics and Mavericks in Dallas. Those two teams last met on January 25, when Boston cruised to a 124-100 home win as a 9-point favorite. Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett both had 23 points for the Celtics in that win. Jason Terry had a team-high 27 points in the loss for the Mavericks, but he's out with a hand injury.

That game completes the night's TNT doubleheader; the first contest will see Dwyane Wade and the Heat travel to Chicago to take on the Bulls. The Heat had no trouble with the Bulls back on December 26, picking up a 90-77 win at home. The third matchup of the night has Golden State playing host to the Trail Blazers.

The March to Madness

There is one ranked matchup on the college hoops schedule for Thursday, with No. 11 UCLA on the road against No. 18 Arizona State. The Bruins blasted Notre Dame 89-63 last time out to improve to 19-4 SU and 12-10 ATS on the season. The Sun Devils are at 18-5 SU and 12-7 ATS; they beat Oregon State last game.

Four other ranked teams are in action on Thursday, with No. 5 Louisville looking to be the latest team to get past the Fighting Irish; those two teams will meet in South Bend. As well, No. 19 Gonzaga will travel to McKeon Pavilion to meet formerly-ranked St. Mary's, No. 21 Utah State will try to stay in the polls with a win over Idaho, and No. 22 Illinois will take on Northwestern in a Big Ten clash.

A Trip Around the Rink

The Flyers return to the ice on Thursday night at home against the Senators. Philadelphia is coming off back-to-back wins over the Bruins and Thrashers on the weekend, and they're now at 28-15-9 on the season. Philly and Ottawa have already met twice this season, with the Sens winning 4-1 in November and the Flyers returning the favor by picking up a 6-4 victory at home in late December.

There's a Southeast Division battle between the Panthers and Hurricanes in Carolina on Thursday night, while Minnesota will be looking to upset the Red Wings in Detroit. As well, it's Toronto at Tampa Bay, St. Louis at Nashville, and Vancouver at Phoenix, with the Flames continuing their California swing in L.A.

Rounding Out the Slate

The PGA Tour hits Pebble Beach on Thursday morning to get the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am underway. Phil Mickelson is pegged as the 8/1 Vegas favorite to win the tournament despite his struggles of the past few weeks, with Padraig Harrington just behind him on the list at 10/1 odds. Vijay Singh, Jim Furyk, and Kenny Perry round out the top five; they're all at 15/1 to get the victory.

Finally, the Sprint Cup Series stages its Gatorade Duel events on Thursday to decide the starting grid for Sunday's Daytona 500. Martin Truex Jr. and Mark Martin will have the poles for Thursday's two races, which will start at 2:00pm ET.

Six-pack for Thursday

-- February-March will both have a Friday the 13th; very rare that happens in consecutive months. Most it can happen is once every six years.

-- Merrill Lynch lost $27B in 2008, but still gave a $24.9M bonus to guy who worked there three months ($249,000 a day). Someday a movie will be written about all this that will be pretty shocking.

-- Adam Dunn gets $20M for two years from Washington; Bobby Abreu signed up for one year in Anaheim. Fantasy owners who've got Dunn on their team can't be real happy about Washington.

-- The one constant in every NFL mock draft is Michael Crabtree going to the Seahawks with the fourth pick. Have to be careful with him-- he originally went to Texas Tech as a basketball player.

-- Brett Favre's retirement isn't official until training camp starts, as many times as he has danced around this subject.

-- Ichiro Suzuki may do some pitching for Japan next month in the World Baseball Classic; supposedly, he throws 92. The Mariners are not overly excited about the prospect of this happening.

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

13) All five North Carolina starters scored in double figures, as Tar Heels outscored Duke 57-35 in second half of a 101-87 win at Duke, giving them four straight wins at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

12) Right now, North Carolina and UConn are the two best teams, as long as Mr Dyson's injury isn't too serious for the Huskies.

11) Dayton took a huge step towards an NCAA bid when they beat Xavier 71-58 at home. Flyers have to keep winning, but win against the Musketeers in February is going to look strong to the selectors.

10) Rhode Island coach Jim Baron used to be St Bonaventure's head coach; his Rams were down 15 at the half to the Bonnies Wednesday before Baron's son Jim led a rally that gave URI an 87-80 win. Young Baron scored 28 points, hitting 6-10 beyond the arc.

9) Halftime scores in the Big 12 Wednesday night:
Iowa State 37, Colorado 9.....Kansas State 49, Texas Tech 25. Ouch.

8) Drexel trailed 23-15 at halftime at Northeastern, then scored 47 in second half, upsetting the Huskies, 62-58. Dragons defend well, but sometime struggle to score. They were only 1-7 from arc in this game.

7) Louis Orr's Bowling Green Falcons won their sixth game in a row, winning 59-54 at Toledo, who are terrible this season, but Toledo has been a graveyard for Bowling Green, which lost last three visits there before ending the streak Wednesday. Orr is a nice guy- good for him.

6) Another game, another close loss for Georgia Tech, which needs to keep its roster intact next year, so it can finally have some experience on the squad. Hewitt is a terrific coach, but having a freshman point guard four years in a row in the ACC is a nightmare. Adding one of the best incoming freshmen, Mr Favors, will upgrade the talent level.

5) Utah avenged an earlier loss to San Diego State by beating Aztecs xx-xx at the Huntsman Center. Mountain West has become a cluster of similar teams, all pretty good, but how the hell do you tell which teams get in the tournament, and which ones don't? Not easy.

4) Illinois State led 45-24 at half in Evansville, then had to hang on for dear life, beating the Purple Aces 70-68. Aces were only 2-9 from the arc, and only forced nine turnovers, but still almost pulled a miracle.

3) How about Kansas State? They lose Beasley and Walker to NBA, then start out 0-4 in the Big 12, but now they're 6-4, as Frank Martin proves that just because you were once a high school coach down in Florida doesn't mean you can't beat the big boys. Good for him.

2) LSU survived two OTs and the officials in Starkville, beating the Mississippi State Bulldogs 94-91 in a foulfest where seven players fouled out, four on LSU. Bulldogs were 41-52 at the line and still lost.

1) Mike Krzyzewski is having problems with neck pain; the stress of his job, combined with no offseason because of the Olympics, has to be taking its toll now that we're late in the season. Duke should play fairly deep into March, but when they're done, I'm hoping Coach K takes himself a vacation and relaxes some. He's earned it.

Tips and Trends
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami Heat at Chicago Bulls [TNT | 7 PM ET]

Heat: Miami has dropped five of its last seven games and hopes to bounce back in Dwyane Wade's hometown. Wade has struggled in most of his past trips home to Chicago, and he has been the only player on his team to step up lately. He scored 33 points in a 99-82 home loss to Denver on Tuesday, and rookie Michael Beasley has totaled 11 points and four rebounds combined over the last two games. Beasley had 14 points and six rebounds in the last meeting en route to a 90-77 victory.

Heat are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 Thursday games.
The OVER is 8-2 in Miami's last 10 road games.

Key Injuries - F Dorell Wright (Achilles') is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Bulls (-3.5, O/U 197): Chicago rookie Derrick Rose will try to forget about one of his worst performances of his young career earlier this season against Miami, as he totaled 10 points on 3-of-14 shooting and turned the ball over five times. “I was trying to be aggressive and the shots just weren’t falling for me,” Rose said. “I was thinking too much out there.” He has averaged 18.4 points in leading the Bulls to five wins in the last seven games though, scoring at least 20 for the third straight time on Tuesday. That latest performance helped them rally back from down 14 and resulted in a 107-102 win over Detroit.

Bulls are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 games vs. Southeast Division.
The OVER is 6-2 in Chicago's last 8 games vs. Southeast Division.

Key Injuries - G Derrick Rose (head) is day-to-day.
F Drew Gooden (groin) is OUT.

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

Boston Celtics at Dallas Mavericks (+4, 198.5)

The Mavericks have won seven of their last 10 and are 6-4 against the spread (ATS) in that period.

In Tuesday’s triumph over of the lowly Sacramento Kings, four Dallas starters scored double-digit points, including guard Antoine Wright.

Wright, who received a text message from injured reserve Jason Terry just before tip-off Tuesday, put up 23 points in 24 minutes.

“He (Terry) said, ‘We need you right now. You need to play big,’” Wright told reporters after the contest.

Wright, who tied Josh Howard with a game-high 23 points, held Kings top-scorer Kevin Martin to just 18 points on 4-for-15 shooting from the field.

“I played to my strengths, and it worked out,” Wright continued.

Thursday, he matches up against Paul Pierce. But if he is able to excel at both ends of the court Dallas should have no problem hanging with the Champs.

Dallas is 4-1 ATS in its last five at home and Boston is 1-4 ATS in its last five overall.

Pick: Mavericks +4

Portland Trail Blazers at Golden State Warriors (-2, 217)

How much gas does Golden State have in its tank?

On Tuesday, the Warriors poured in 144 points in a win over the New York Knicks. But can they muster up a similar performance against defensive-minded Portland?

The simple answer is: No.

The Warriors have scored at least 100 points in five straight, but have conceded more than 100 points in each of those contests.

Portland, meanwhile, is ranked 8th in opponent scoring (95.2 PPG) and have held five of its last 10 opponents to less than 90 points.

Even legendary coach Larry Brown had high praise for Portland.

“Kevin (Pritchard) has done a wonderful job, Brown told the Portland Tribune. “I love where they are. If you ask any GM in the league, that’s as good a young group as you can have.”

Portland pounded the Warriors 113-100 last month, covering the 12-point spread.

Pick: Blazers +2

#6 UCLA at #18 Arizona State [ESPN | 9 PM ET]

UCLA (-1.5, O/U 127.5): The Bruins have won their last four games by an average of 22.8 points and appear to be much-improved since the last time they played Arizona State. They will be looking to avenge a 61-58 overtime loss at home to the Sun Devils back on January 17th and have averaged 85.8 points during their winning streak. “It’s obvious we’ve been performing at a new level and just improving as a team,” said UCLA head coach Ben Howland.

UCLA is 14-5 ATS in its last 19 Thursday games.
The OVER is 6-0 in UCLA's last 6 games overall.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Arizona State: The Sun Devils have lost the last four home meetings with UCLA and need a win here in order to keep their slim hopes of a Pac-10 title alive. They hope to have point guard Derek Glasser back after he missed Saturday's 49-37 win at Oregon State. Glasser suffered a concussion in the team's previous game, and he ranks second in the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio at 2.1.

Arizona State is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings.
The UNDER is 7-2 in Arizona State's last 9 games overall.

Key Injuries - G Derek Glasser (concussion) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: TBD

Gonzaga Bulldogs at St. Mary's Gaels (+4)

Saint Mary's leading scorer Patrick Mills has been a handful for Gonzaga. The Bulldogs, though, may not have to worry about the star sophomore for the rest of the season.

Coming off a tough non-conference loss, the 19th-ranked Bulldogs look to take advantage of Mills' absence and hand the Gaels their first loss at McKeon Pavilion this season as the West Coast Conference rivals meet Thursday night.

Gonzaga (17-5, 8-0), playing in a lightly regarded league, was dominated in a 68-50 loss to then-No. 14 Memphis on Saturday night in its last chance to impress the NCAA selection committee in a major non-conference matchup.

The Bulldogs return to conference play after having a nine-game winning streak snapped, but matchups with Saint Mary's (19-4, 6-3) are never a cakewalk. The Gaels, however, have dropped two of three after losing Mills (fractured right hand) in a 69-62 loss to the Zags on Jan. 29.

Saint Mary's had won a school-record 15 straight games - the nation's top winning streak at the time - and was ranked 22nd entering that contest, but will now have to make do without Mills at least until the WCC tournament.

Mills, who is second in the conference in scoring at 18.7 points per game, has been at his best versus the Bulldogs, averaging 20.3 points in three contests. Against Gonzaga in January, Mills had 18 points in 17 minutes before getting hurt.

He helped Saint Mary's continue its home success against the Bulldogs with 23 points in an 89-85 overtime win on Feb. 4, 2008. Mills scored the final 10 points of regulation and five more in OT.

It was Saint Mary's third win in its last four home matchups with Gonzaga. The Gaels are 9-0 at home this season, outscoring opponents by an average of 22.1 points, and have won 25 of their last 26 there.

However, with Mills out and the Bulldogs eager to bounce back from an embarrassing defeat, Saint Mary's will have a tough time continuing its success at McKeon Pavilion.

Pick: Gonzaga -4

Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Fighting Irish (+3)

Both Terrence Williams and Samardo Samuels are expected to play Thursday.

That's bad news for the Irish (12-10, 3-7), who were victimized by both players at Louisville on Jan. 12. Notre Dame came back from a halftime deficit to force overtime, but was outscored 16-2 in the extra session in an 87-73 loss. Williams had 24 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists while Samuels finished with 18 points and four blocks.

The Irish haven't won since then, and with a loss Thursday would have their first eight-game losing streak within a season since 1965-66.

"We're searching for a win," coach Mike Brey said. "We can't feel sorry for ourselves. This is the biggest challenge in the history of the program, but I think our kids will respond."

The seventh loss during their skid was the ugliest yet. Notre Dame's defense was virtually non-existent Saturday at then-No. 15 UCLA, letting the Bruins shoot 56.7 percent and forcing only six turnovers in an 89-63 loss.

Notre Dame, ranked No. 9 coming into the season, is allowing 80.5 points per game in conference play, the seventh-worst average in the country.

Luke Harangody, the Big East's leading scorer (24.3 points per game), had a season-low five points Saturday.

Harangody had 28 points in the loss to the Cardinals last month, and scored a career-high 40 in a 90-85 loss at Louisville on Feb. 28.

Pick: Louisville -3
